4 defect in the refrigeration sys- tenn Of the Brass City Grill ct 1e2 Grand street caused the yeIense of 2S pounds of sickening, sulphur dioxidO gas early this morning and aroused residents Of the apartments above who were saved from possible serious consequences by the timely Arrival Of flremen from headquArt- 6rs. Credit for the discovery of the escaping gas is given John Kelley, superintendent of the building, in a report Issued by the fire Itlarshsl's office.

 sulphur dioxlde gas Is such an 1rritent that when 1t reaches your throat. you just gasp for breath and try hard to reach the air." the rlarshal's report states. It continues as follows:
 That was just what John Kelley, in charge of the building did when he poked his nose Into the cellar way of the grill to observe the trou- hle, after he had arisen and started on his daily labors about the place.

 Private Benny Joy was on house watch when Mir. Kelley entered; he could hardly explain, owing to the "dose" he had inhaled before leav- ing the grill. Iie finally explained. and the house watch hit the bell, and oil of the flEemen of heedquart- CTS Skedaddled for the sliding pole. Quick Action
 Deputy Chief Thomas Cavanaugh was in charge. He left for Grand street with truck company No. ], Lieut.. Mccoy, and the chemical eS1- RInS, with Capt. Bloomfield in coin- iAand. Capt. Wm. c. Russell Of the fire marshal's office, and in direct charko of refrigeration installations, was summoned from his home. Upon his arrival, he sprinkled half \ dozen bottles of ammonia about, for the purpose of iieutrali2ing the gases. Tn this way, relief was obtain. ed for the time being. What was left, the firenen and others about just had to "take t." But even at that, the odor was prevalent later when the fire marshal and his stan made q complete survey of the build ing, and the causes surrounding the troubel.

Ina Ray Hutton
And Melodears
Draw Big Crowd
Conservatively E mate
5000 People Attend
Dance in City

What is believed to have been
the largest crowd ever assembled
for any event in Hendersonville
attended the dance at the city
gymnasium last night to hear Ina
Ray Hutton and her Melodears.
Attendance records for dances
in Hendersonville were shattered
and the largest crowd on record
was almost doubled last night.
A conservative estimate today
was that 5000 people from Hen
Jacksonville and the surrounding
area attended the dance last night.
Automobiles were parked on all
available streets within a radius
of about a quarter of mile from
the gymnasium.
1t was impossible for all of
those attending 10 dance at one
time, but the crowd was good ma
tured and passed in and out of
the building. At one time it was
observed that the gymnasium, with
extra floor space, was completely
filled, the crowd outside the build
ing was almost as large, and eat
ing places in the vicinity were also
filled.
Prior to last night the largest
crowd on record was that attend
ing the first dance here of Paul
Tremaine and his orchestra. At
that time it was estimated that the
crowd was 800 people. Last night
the crowd was almost twice as
large.
The crowd in the gymnasium at
the end of the dance was so large
that almost an hour was required
to clear the hall.
In spite of its size, the crowd
was one of the most orderly ever
assembled here. City policemen
and special officers were in at
tendance and no arrests were
made.

 There is no doubt but that the bfIicials in charge have outdone Themselves in the way of badges for delegates.
