KILLED BY GAS FROM GRASS.

THREE DEAD IN A FARM TANK:

Death overtook three men who entered a haymaking silo at Blanor House Farm, Stretton-under-Fosse, near Rugby last month.

が

They were gassed by carbon dioxide fumes, set up by the fermentation of cut grass in the sila, a large tank standing about 50 to 60 feet high on girders

The victims were:-W. P. Crofts, farmer, and George Jackson and Ernest Brain, farm hands.

Brain lost his life in trying to save Jackson; Crofts went to the rescue of Brain and Jackson and paid for his gallantry.

Newspapers and individual "Senatora are continuing to count noses on sentiment for and against the treaty in view of the approach ing ratification vote, It

seems certain that something over 20 Senators are against the treaty unless it is guarded by some such restriction as the proposed Norris Amendment which would protect the Senate from adherence to any secret riders or understandings.

On the other hand, the Senate cumbers 90 men and if the treaty is actually to be defeated, oppon- ents must have at least 33 votes- one vote over one-third. Delay and debate are believed by many treaty opponents to be the most powerful weapons toward swinging sentiment against the pact.
