WOMAN BRAVES GAS
TO SAVE Eek MARINE
Works Alone on Retired Sergeant
Major for Hour Before Rescue
Squad Arrives.

James w. Thompson, 52-year-old re-
tired sergeant major of the Marine
Corps, was saved from death by gas
poisoning yesterday by the efforts of a
young woman who worked over him
for an hour before she could obtain as
SiStance
He was discovered unconscious in his
bed in his apartment, at 1916 1 street,
about AIS o'clock yesterday afternoon
by Mrs. Pearl Allen, who occupies an
apartment on the same floor. Gas
was flowing from an oven burner on
the gas stove, and the jets on top of
the stove were still burning. He had
gone to sleep, and through the faulty
flow of gas, the flame inside the oven
had been extinguished. Mrs Allen said
this morning that she had Smelled the
odor of gas all day.
She rushed into his apartment and
opened the windows and then called to
other occupants of the building for as
sistance. She said that they appeared
frightened and refused to help her in
her lone efforts to revive Thompson.
Finally the Fire Department rescue
squad was summoned, and Thompson
regained consciousness after oxygen had
been administered for 35 minutes. He
was taken to the Naval Hospital, where
this morning his condition was said to
be still serious but somewhat improved.

MURDER IS LINKED
TO SEWER INQUIRY
New York Grand Jury
Charges D'0Iier, Graft Wit
ness, Victim of SIayers.
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 28.-Investi-
cation of the death of William D'Olier,
important witness in the Queens County
sewer contract investigation, was given
impetus today with the report of the
Queens County grand jury that he had
been murdered. At first it was believed
he was suicide.
D'Olier, president of the Sanitation
Corporation, which received subcon-
tracts in the building of the Queens
County sewers, in which work, it is al
legged, $16,000,000 in graft was taken by
various parties was found shot to death
on a lonely road in Queens County
September 2. A pistol was lying in the
crook of his arm
Police listed the death as a suicide
but on the insistence of D'Olier's widow
and other members of his family an in
vestigation was started. The grand jury
heard So witnesses, but failed to dis
cover who killed him.
D'Olier was to have been a witness in
The trial Of former Borough President
Maurice E. Connolly and Frederick E
Seely, former Queens engineer of sewer
desif now under way.
On the night D'Olier was killed he
was reported to have had an engage
ment to meet with others involved in
the trials. Whether he attended such
a meeting has never been disclosed.
The death of D'Olier was the second
among persons involved in the sewer
investigation. John M. Phillips, head
of the so-called Queens sewer ring
died in Atlantic City, N. j., July 3
shortly after he had been indicted with
Connolly. The cause of his death was
given as acute appendicitis.
It has been charged that the main
sewer graft was engineered through
contracts so worded that successful bid
ders on sewer construction were forced
to buy their pipe through Phillips, who
had a virtual monopoly on a special
kind Of pipe in Queens County.
