EL PASO. Tex.. June 20.
(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.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y., June 20.
(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. Signing of
the subpoenas by the county Judge
marked a new move in the effort
of Clinton county to force the at
tendance of the two customs men
at John Doe hearings here.
The new subpoenas are return
able Monday at an adjourned
hearing in the John Doe proceed
ings In city court. If these sub-
