dition lor s<»me hours. Mr*. Fuiltas
Is still ill,’ but her condition is not
thought to bo dangerous. Mrs. Greeu
spoil’s husband, who also boards at
the Karkas home, was away at work.
All the members of the household
retired about 10:30, Wednesday night.
About midnight, Mrs. Karkas awoke,
feeling ill. She aroused her husband,
and he, 100. complained of being sick.
He got some water for his wife and
himself and they went back to bed. A
couple of hours later, Mrs Karkas
again awakened, and was more ill
than ever. She again requested her
husbaud to get ber some water. No
sooner had she made the request
titan she fainted.
Mr. Karkas then called to Mrs.
Greenspon and Mr. Heisler for help.
They, too, were suffering from tfle
fumes and could give no aid, asking
for help themselves. Mr. Parkas next
culled on the landlady, who lives In
another part of the house, for assist
ance. She responded and took care
of the victims while Mr. Karkas has
tened out for a doctor. He tried a
number of physicians In the neigh
borhood, but says none would get up
for him. Finally, he got City Physi
cian Harris. The latter made a quick
response to the call and worked over
the patients for two hours.
Mr. Karkas told The Times that he
and his wife cam# to Detroit, a short
time ago, from Pennsylvania, and
were not familiar with the
operation of a coal stove, hence their
failure to properly adjust the dam
pers. In Pennsylvania, he said, they
used natural gas.

INVENTS DFVICETO PICK UP
MAIL AS TRAINS FEY BY
Detroit Postal Clerk Corrects
Defects in Contrivance
Now In Use
An important invention for the
postal service has been, offered free
to the United States government by
John A. Farley, of Detroit.
Mr. Kalvey, who has been In the
railway mail service for a number of
years, has made a study of the prob
lem of delivering and taking mall
pouches snfejy l>y the last mall trains
while running ut high speed. The
problem of exchanging mails by flying
trains \as been a source of annoyance
to the postal authorities, the railroadb
and the public for many years. The
system In use has been Inefficient in
many respects. Mail bags frequently
bound from the catchers operated by
the mail clerks and roll under the
wheels of the train, grinding import
ant ami valuable mall to pieces. At
other times the clerks would miss th"
mull bags hung up at stations, on
account of snow storms, or when the
steam and smoke of locomotives ob
scured the view. Wrecks have been
caused by mail bags thrown from
trains going at high speed, striking
and breaking switch stands and de
railing the trains.
The postal authorities have tried
many plans which have failed, when
put to the test of practical require
rnents. A striking feature of the Fai
vey system, which is entirely auto
matic, Is that it does not do away with
the equipment now In use by the pres
ent system, but. by a number of added
improvements, has brought it up to
practical requirements and makes the
catching and delivering of mail a safe
and certain operation.
Mr. Falvey’g device has been thor
oughly tested on the fast mail trains
on the Michigan Central between De
troit and Chicago during the winter
months, and not a single failure was
recorded. On the same trains not
equipped with the Kalvey device *»9
failures occurred during (he same
period.
The Harriman lines also tested the
device on the Illinois Central between
Chicago and New Orleans, and on the
transcontinental mail runs on the
Union Pacific through the mountain
regions, with highly satisfactory re
suits.
