GAS KILLS COLORED MAN. Ernest Hurd, colored, 42 years old, roomer at 529 U street, died about 12:15 o'clock this morning while en route to Emergency Hospital to be treated for illuminating gas poisoning, having been found unconscious in his room by another occupant of the house, who went there to investigate after smelling gas. Gas was found escaping from a partly opened jet that appeared to have been left open as a result of an accident. The deceased, who formerly resided in Chicago, Ill, had among his effects an identification card re- questing that Elizabeth Hurd, apart- ment 1, 4633 Indiana avenue, Chicago, be notified in case of accide: een | pro- | “disgraceful,” and | 00 & a better | oo cor | tional work 1s seen.

FRIENDLY ‘MATCHERS' |2 COST VISITOR $350 Ingratiating Strangers Take An-| other Victim in Union Sta- tion Game. Those two pleasant, ingratiating gentlemen, the Union Station penny s, added $350 to their savings vesterday. Louis Olson of Black River Falls, Wis., was the contributor. Mr. Olson is on his way to visit kis old home in Denmark. He stopped off in Washington yesterday to arrange for his passports. d While he was standing on the steps of the State Department, a bit awed the majesty of the Governmsni and not knowing just how to go about his mission, he was approached by a most courteous gentleman, who offer- ed not only to help him get his pass- port, but also to show him the sights of the Capital. Any suspicions Olson might have had were lulled by the suavity of the fine fellow, who had him in hand. Somewhere near the Capitol they met a third man and a penny-matching game was suggested. It cost Olson $350 and his faith in human nature. Now he is on his way to Denmark today. He told the police about it and identified two photographs as those of his erstwhile friends.
