FIX CELLS FOR DEATH BY GAS By W. H. BUNTIN (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) RENO, Jan. 21.—Two air-tight death cells are under construction in a stone building in the Nevada state penitentiary yard at Carson City today in preparation for the first lethal gas execution to be held in the United States. Two Chinese Gee Jon and Huggie Sing, convicted of murdering a countryman two years ago, will, on Feb. 8, inhale the scent of bitter almonds and pass into oblivion within ten seconds, according to experts planning the execution. The lethal gas used will be hydrocyanic gas, known commercially as cyanogen. Having an odor of almonds, this gas, the experts say, is invisible, lighter than air, paralyzes the respiratory organs, displaces oxygen in the body and causes instant and supposedly painless death after one deep breath. The paralyzation of the respiratory organs prevents even an outcry from the victim. The gas will be piped from metal cylinders to the floors of the two air-tight cells. Each cell is seven feet long, seven feet high and five weet wide with glass observation windows. The gas will spread to all parts of the cell rapidly, rise to the ceiling and be dissipated into the outer air through a pipe sufficiently high to avoid danger to witnesses. Three cylinders of gas and two of compressed air will be used. At the signal of Warden Denver S. Dickerson, five guards will open the respective valves, each believing his tank contains the harmless compressed air instead of the death gas. The hour of execution remains to be set, and will be named by Warden Dickerson. The desired gas can be obtained on the Pacific coast only in Los Angeles, and difficulties are expected in securing its transportation to the Carson City prison, due to interstate rail restrictions as to its transportation. The process of making the gas locally is considered impractical. Appropriations for the care of the insane exceed those for educational purposes.

Sale 89c SEBASTIA THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. LACK OF RAINS WORRIES GROWERS SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21.—The rainfall in most sections of the state is so far below normal as to cause much anxiety among the farmers, especially grain growers and livestock men, according to the semi-monthly report just issued by E. E. Kaufman, federal agricultural statistician in co-operation with the state department of agriculture. Lack of pasture is seriously affecting cattle, and in many places cattle are being fed. From various sections comes the report that local supplies of hay are ample, providing rain falls in the near future. The heavy demand has caused both alfalfa and grain hay to advance in price. Grain is almost at a standstill because of low temperatures and biggest cal. loan SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21.—The largest single loan ever made by the state government was negotiated when State Treasurer Chas. G. Johnson loaned $2,000,000 in "call" money to the Bank of California, San Francisco, this week. The interest rate was 4 per cent. lack of moisture. Very little wheat has yet germinated in the San Joaquin valley, according to the report. Some damage has been inflicted on the orange and lemon crop by the freezing weather in the first part of January, but it is stated that definite estimate of the injury sustained cannot be made at the present time.
