SIXTEEN PAGES AWOMAN KILLED BY GAS FUMES Daylig it Saving Starts Here at Midnight MRS. ARTHUR BOUCKLEY OVERCOME BY GAS AND ~ DIED FROM ITS EFFECT Was Found Lying on Floor of Kitchen After Sus- picions of Farmer Who Called, Had Been Aroused NO EXPLANATION OF FATAL ACCIDENT Mrs. Bouckley Was Appar- ently Overcome by Fumes of Gas While at Work Over Stove--All Efforts to Revive Her Failed Overcome by gas fumes at her home 181 Celina street about 11 0'- clock this morning Mrs. Arthur Bouckley was rushed to the Osawa General Hospital fifteen minutes later where she expired without re- gaining consciousness. She was in; her 26th year and was in perfect health when her husband, Arthur Bouckley left for his. work at the Ontario Motor Sales this morning. J. H. Lavin, of Thornton's Corn- ers, who was making his usual Sat- urday morning rounds with a truck doad of eggs, had gone to the back door of the Bouckley home to de- liver a basket of eggs. On nearing the door hew as aware of the pres: ence of gas, And. although the back door was closed, became sus- piclous that 'there must be some-' thing amiss. He ran acrogs tue road to the home of Mrs, Bouckley's brother, Elgin Kerr, Celing street; and summoned the decéased"s mo- ther, Mrs, Andrew Kerr to investi- gate." Sm No Break Found When the two opened the door a ¢loud of gas fumes burst out, and for a minute made entrance im= possible, When they did'force an entrance, however, they found the body of Mrs. Bouckley lying on the floor. Although no break in the gag system was found, the 'conclu= sion arrived at was that when Mrs. Bouckley turned on the gas jet, the flood of gas at high pressure must have immediately overcome her, rendering her senseless. It 'was impossible to state the time the accident occurred, but the unfortunate victim must have been under the influence of the gas fumes for some time. Resuscitation Effort Fails Dr. ¥. J. Rundle was summoned and ordered the unconscious woman, rushed to the hospital. Firemen, who arrived on the scene shortly after the body was found did all they could to resuscitate her but to no avail. She was conveyed to the hospital in the Disney-Cott ambu- lance. No decision has yet been reached regarding the holding of an inquest. At the hospital, Chief Elliott of the fire department, and Firemen Milton Osler and Hubert Chase as- sisted in resuscitation methods but every effort proved fruitless, Mrs. Bouckley succumbing to the deadly effects of the gas. Mrs. Bouckley was born in Mau- vas Township, and has been in Oshawa for a number of years. She was a member of South Oshawa United Church and is survived by her husband and one son, Douglas, two and a half years old, besides one brother, Elgin and a sister, Lenore. : : : \ FOUR ARRESTED ~ MURDER CHARGE Buffalo, April 27.--Three men and a woman were reported under arrest 'here today in connection with the $8,- 100 machine gun holdup and murder at the plant of the Fedders Radiator Company yesterday afternoon, Police declined to divulge the na- mes of those held.

This is one of the main planks of their plat- form. They do not, so they declare, propose the adoption of a general system of protective tariffs, "We are pledged," Premier Baldwin wrote to Commander Eyres-Monsell, chief government whip, last August, "and shall continue to be pledged, not to introduce protection. We are pledged dnd shall continue to be pledged hot 4 to impose any taxes on food." What Conservatives propose if they arc returned at the general elections is. a. simplified and shortened proce- dure which will extend safeguarding. At present an industry wishing to be safe-guarded (i.e, to secure the advantage of an important duty) must prove to the board of trade that there is a prima facie case to go be- fore a comittee. When that is done, a committee is set up for the pur- pose. Conservative proposals will in volve the setting up of a single per- manent tribunal for hearing safe- guarding applications , a tribunal something after the style of the Canadian board. This permanent board will be appointed by the Tariff President of the board of trade. The government, as in the case of the Canadian Tariff Board, will not be bound by the findings of the tri- bunal. Final responsibility for the imposition of duties will rest with the House of Commons.
