British and French arishlps that have

to elude pursuit.
It Is believed that many of the mer -
ehnnt ships that fell victims of this
German hawk of the seas were sunk
In the south Atlantic, perhaps off the.
coast of South America .

Believing that in the arrest of James
Ford, aged 23, Robert Burke, aged 24,
and Walter Seaman, DePue restaur
ant cook, who was ia the dragnet for
his connection with the Dowd-Davon-
port case last November, they have

Ira Davenport and Walter Davenport

the deputies that he came to Ottawa
to int et Li.rke and Ford to show them
the route to DePue. He made the
same kind of an excuse when Daven
to't and Dowd were captured and re
turned to Chicago, but was released
because of the plausibility of his story.
.Burke and Ford were detained late
Tuesday afternoon after they had
driven up to the court house parking
place and stepped inside the county
building to purchase a hunting li
cense. They had a rifle and a shot
gun with them, when Deputy Sheriff
Arthur Barrett became suspicious and
decided to interrogate them. During
t'ne deputy's Interrogations he learned
that neither Burke nor Ford the lat
ter r.o relation to Henry of tin lis
fame knew anything about their car,
least of all the figures In the state li
cense it bore. When they could not
tell the license number suspicion was
decidedly strengthened r.nd Deputy
Barrett decided to lock the pair up
until their case could be thoroly look
ed into. About this time Seaman
came upon the scene and remember
ing his connection with the Daven-
port-Dowd affair, he was taken alons.
to the county Jail.

When they saw they were in a cor

COCTOR SAVES LIFE
BRAOISH YARD EMPLOYEE RE
SUSCITATED ArTER 5 HOURS
FIGHT BY DR. W. H. JAMIESON
VICTIM BETTER TODAY.
George S. Singer, of 830 Jefferson
Street, foreman for the Bradish lum
ber company, narrowly escaped death
from cas fumes escaping from an
automobile exhaust, last evening at 8
o'clock. His unconscious form was
,,, , ....
found in the garage adjoining tne
1 Singer home and for five hours ha
Ilngored between life and death whi)e
Dr. W. H. Jamieson worked tirelessly
to resuscitate him. His condition this
morning was not considered serious
and. he will recover.
At 7 o clock in the evening Mr.
Singer went to hl3 garago to over
haul his auto. He started the engine
and closed all the doors and windows
to keep out the cold. After he had
been working to the garage a short
time he left the place but came in
again. All tho time the motor in the
auto was operating poisonous gases
were being expelled thru the exhaust
pipe.
About 8 o'clock Mrs. Singer became
uneasy of her husband's welfare and
went to the garage. She found him
lying over one of the fenders. His
unconscious body was removed to the
hquse and Dr. Jamieson was called.
The physician at once started to save
Mr. Singer from death and for nearly
five hours he showed little signs of
life. Stimulants were administered
and salutions of salt were injected In
to the veins.
As in Mr. Singer's case, when this
gas is inhaled a chemical combination
is -formed in the bloodrenderJng-lt
lmca pa hln of taking nitygen. Should
thirty per cent, of the hemoglobin be
destroyed death would have occurred.
First Case In Vicinity.
' Mr. Singer is the first in this vicin
ity to bo poisoned by- auto exhaust
fumes. Deaths from this cause, how
ever, have occurred in other parts of
thn state.
The plight of Mr. Singer should
servo as a warning to other auto own-
tneir garages wnne 1110 motors or ineir
cars are in motion. Proprietors of
garages have issued warnings to em-
P's to give close heed to ventllbv
