(AP) An impromptu court of in quiry, aet np by city and county officials today was told by physi cians that hydrogen sulphide gas caused the death of two children and illness of If persons last night. . A joint meeting of the city council and county commissioner court was held to question doc tors, chemists and refinery and natural gas officials to determine the cause of the tragedy and to attempt to prevent a recurrence. Dr. J. T. McCamant county health officer, reported to the meeting than an autopsy perform ed on the dead children and tests of b.ood taken from other vic tims showed that the tragedy was caused from ome form of sulph ur gas. Dr. McCamant and Dr. George Turner, who performed the autopsy, said there ws no doubt that the gas was hydrogen sulphide. Dr. McCamant said that the gas was heavier than air because the two children who died were asleep on a cot while those who were overcome were either stand ing or on high ground at the time. W. G. Hamilton, general man ager of the Pasotex Petroleum company's refinery; A. L. Forbes, general superintendent of the El paso Natural Gas company and R. G. Collins, of the Texas Com pany's refinery, were questioned by Mayor R, E. Thomason and County Judge E. B. McClintock. Two refineries and- the natural gas company's plant are near the scene of the tragedy. Mr. Hamilton said that every thing was "perfectly regular" in the Pasotex refinery. "I will not try to deny the fact that west Texas crude oil has some hydro gen sulphide in it," Mr. Hamilton said. "It is taken from the oil during the course of refining and burned at our plant." In reply to a question by Mayor Thoma-jon Mr. Hamilton said the the refin ery has a sewer line in which waste water from the refinery is dumped. "The water contains no hydrogen sulphide," he said. "The water is emptied about 200 to 250 yards south and east of where those people live. There are three ponds In which water from one foot to IS inches la standing." Forbes said It would have been a physical Impossibility for the poison gas to have come from the natural gas company's lines. "We made, a thorough Inspection. of our lines and there waa no indication of a pin hole lead." he said, "be sides, there is no trace of hydro gen sulphide in onr gas, natural gas Is lighter than air." Mayor Thomason and Judge McClintock appointed Dr. McCa mant, Dr. Turner, Dr. W. W. Waite, city chemist, and Lieuten ant Charles S. Schadle. chemical welfare expert from Fort Bliss to make a test of the' water In the ponds. Lieutenant Shadle was detailed by Brig. Gen. George Van Horn Moselfy, commander of the first cavalry division, to aid in the in vestigation. Mr. Hamilton said the committee would welcome to make tests of the water and make a thorough inspection of the re finery. Mr. Collins said the Texas company's refinery, which was re cently completed, has not yet be gun operation.

(AP) Sheriff .George Bninell left today for Ogdensburg with new subpoenas for service upon Weldon J. Cheatham and F. L. Coveney, customs border patrol men wanted for questioning In a John Doe hearing here growing out of the fatal shooting last Sat urday of Arthur Gordon, 22, al leged rum runner. The new subpoenas for the cus toms officers, who left Gordon dead at a hospital here after shoot ing him on a so-called "booze trail" near Mooers where they were stationed then, were endors ed by County Judge K. Collins. Previously the subpoenas which sheriffs men were unable to serve after Coveney and Cheatham left the county, were signed only by City Judge R. C. Booth.
