Doubts Gas Caused Deaths

Niagara Falls, N. Y, July (P) pr. Mortimer J. Brown, general superintendent of the Roesser and Hasslacher Chemical company, this city, foremost manufacturers of methyl chloride gas used as a re- frigerant and declared by Chicago authorities to have been responsi- ble for } deaths in Chicago re- gently, today issued a statement in which he expressed doubt that the gas was responsible for the deaths of the Chicago residents.
 Dr. Brown said the company manufactured and sold methyl chloride as a refrigerant for years methyl chloride, and that there never had been a single case among it's employees of sickness or indis- position which could be traced to the gas.
 He said all the deaths were in large apartment houses and if the gas was responsible for the fatali- ties it had been through careless ness and bad management of the employees operating the refrigerat- ing system who unwittingly tamper- ed with the mechanism.
 "All we'll known refrigerants, Dr. Brown said, "are definitely toxic and if used carelessly can result in illness, or, in certain cases, death And the company has always warn- ed it's customers that methyl chlo- ride, just as other refrigerants should be used with reasonable care"

Precautions Taken Here Against Refrigerator Fumes Are Thought
 Sufficient to Prevent Fatalities
Inspection of Large Plants by Deputy Chief Souney Said to Reveal Minimum of Danger
 From Escaping Gases.

Deputy Fire Chief Michael T. Souney, acting unde, orders of Chief William J. Noble, recently made an inspection of all automatic refriger- ating plants of large size and re- ports there is a minimum of danger from that source here such as has been reported in Chicago.
 Refrigerating plants installed here have been equipped with automatic switches which cause pumping of gases and acids to cease as soon as a leak develops, and with a flushing system which makes it possible to connect the piping with city mains and speedily clear the apparatus of acids, meanwhile neutralizing the gases.
 There have been several ammonia leaks here in the past few years, none resulting in fatalities. The fire department answers calls in such cases and firemen equipped with gas masks assume the task of maK- lHS telllpOl dIy AepdllS anu vent lue buildings.
 Deputy Chief Souney is now await ing receipt of code of refrigerator safety laws which he requested in a letter addressed to the National Board Fire Underwriters last week. Although changes and precautions ordered locally have been without legal backing up to the present time, the fire department reports excel lent cooperation from the owners.

boxes in these buildings. the com- missioner said. is such as to con- stitute a real danger should leaks develop. He thought there was vir- tually no danger from those ice boxes having individual ice-making units.
 It was Dr. kegels opinion that faulty installation was responsible for most of the deaths.
 Spokesmen for the refrigerator companies disagreed with Dr. kegel and other physicians concerning the lethal qualities of methyl chloride gas in the cooling units. They said experiments had been conducted showing that guinea pigs lived for 3S days breathing the gas without any apparent i'll effects. They said, too, that many employees of the re- frigerator companies worked daily with the gas without harm.

Elliott Tells Touching Story of Affection of His Kidnapers for Him and How He Tried to Re- form Them.

East Orange, N. J., July 3 CP) Police in three New Jersey cities apparently were doing their best today 10 forget all about the strange disappearance of Willard IL Elliott, banker.
 The only law enforcement officer who professed to be interested in the case was James NJ. Dunn, as- sistant prosecutor of Passaic coun- ty. who said he would look over all police reports today and start an investigation tomorrow if he con- sidered one warranted.
 Meanwhile, Elliott insisted he was kidnapped by two congenal Chi cago gangsters and held prisoner because of his connection with the Hobart Trust company of Passaic where he admitted he had been in frequent disagreement with other | officials over the advisability oi making certain loans.
 There is no doubt in my mind that my official connection with the Passaic bank had something to dc with my kidnapping. Elliott said The bankers story has been both confirmed and contradicted. Mrs Marina Richardson and Mildred and Tessie Baker. sisters, all ot Clifton, said they had seen tive men force another man into an au- | tomobile last Wednesday and drivt away. They did not mention the incident, they said, because they did not wish to become involved ir police investigation.
 Salesman Raises Doubts l But Frank Bennett. from whom Elliott purchased an automobile recently, said he had seen the bank CT walking along a Passaic street last Friday-the time when, ac- cording to Elliott, he was beins held by the gangsters who enter, tained him by shooting dice. lend. ing him money to play poker and supplying wine.
 Police at East Orange and Pas saic and at Clifton. where Elliot believes he was held captive for ( | while, indicated they would talk. no action. Chief of Police O'Neil Of East Orange was frank in say, ing he doubted Elliott's story unti the three women came forward with corroboration.
 Elliott was found at NutIey earl, yesterday by policeman. Tn. banker said he had been released by the gangsters who had taker him first to a shack and later tt another house. where "feminin, hand guided him upstairs" becaus, of his blindfold and where h, ''heard the voices of children"
 CaptOrs Very Affcctionate
 Elliott intimated that he had on joyed his visit with his captors. H. said they had enjoyed it, too, S, much so that they asked him fo a souvenir of the occasion befor releasing him. He said he gave then his belt. One of the men, the bank CT related, was in love and intend ed to be married soon, so Elliot had seized upon the occasion as chance to lecture the men on th evils of crime. He said they prom | ised to reform.
 Elliott plans to resume his DOS as vice president of the Hobar | Trust company as soon as he i. rested.

 At the same time Dr. Kegel as- sured householders that there was little danger if they would observe the precaution of keeping the room in which the refrigerator is placed properly ventilated.
 The department of health, N<lch attributes at least 15 recent Chicago deaths to poison gases escaping from mechanical refrigeration sys- tens, has drafted an ordinance to provide rigid inspection of all fu- ture installations of refrigeration.
 The chief danger, Dr. kegel said. is from ice boxes in large apart ment buildings which operate from a, central plant. The pressure re- quired to service the individual ice

There, now, didn't the editor tell you that Mr. Louis E. Davis is one popular young man about town? The mail this morning and noon contained compliments a-plenty about 'Lou' 10 which the editor representing the paper-The New Britain Herald-heartily endorses. To Mr. Davis goes the comforting thought that he, and his personal popularity, brought this contest back 10 it's rightful place in the sun. 't needed no fortune teller to convince the board of directors of this fea- ture, yesterday when Louis silhou cite was published, that it would be red letter day in Silhouettedom locally.

 MT. Davis is a very well known merchant who has served the needs of the women of New Britain fol the past nine years.
 About two years ago Mir. Davis established his own business at 169 Main street, where he has since gained an enyiable reputation for catering to a satisfied patronage.
 The Davis company is the type of store for which New Britain has long felt the need. It is an at tractive shoppe, specializing in the better grade of millinery. ready-to- wear. hosiery and leather goods. At the Davis company one is always as sured of the newest styles at fair prices. Courteous service, prac- ticed by Mir. Davis and his assist ants, is in constant evidence.
 Mir. Davis is always in personal attendance at the store, where his ready smile and pleasing personal ity are a great asset to the ever increasing popularity of New Brit aims finest womans shoppe.
 Mr. Davis was one of the first members of the Probus club. He is also a Mason and an Elk. MT. Davis resides at A Vance stret. Who is he tonight? Once again ''believe 1t or not" the silhouette is a likeness of one who has the "es- | prit de corps" of Church street. He can open his window and be lulled 10 sleep by the dreamy tunes eman- ating from a certain musical school where, it seems like thousands of | little dears are playing the fiddle in their preliminary lessons. The firm | for which the likeness works has for a first name what sounds like the last name of a character used to typify an Enghshman. The editor happened to be looking out of the window the other day, looking at the likeness of the silhouette working. One could almost see the likeness think how soft the news paperman's job was, a kind of potpourri of Europe, cigars, political reporting, etc. That's the bunk Mir. -----, other fellows grass always looks greener. Now to get down to real honest to goodness tiplcts. Hes a kiWanian, remaining stationary there for a good many years. His business is very pleasing one to be in, and everybody likes him. He loves Church street like us all, and he would fight at the drop of the hat if anybody would say word against our favorite little business playground, the section where the term ''brother" means something except when it comes to credit Legislative halls are not foreign 10 him, for he recently represented his district very well indeed, but away down in his heart was that old brothcrly spirit which made him
