FOUR CHILDREN DIE SUDDENLY
TRACES OF ARSENICAL POISON
IN THEIR DEATHS.

Three OF the Little Ones In Ono Family
The Parents Not Suspected OF KIN.
Ing Them-Other Children Affected
The Police Mystihed I'm the Case.
SCRANTON. Pa, Jan. I5--Sevoral days
ago three children Of Antonia Marka
OF 0lyphant. aged z. and 2. died on the
same day. The attending physician found
traces of arsenical poisoning. The Coroner
performed autopsies and sent the contents
OF the stomachs TO a chemist. The latter
reported that arsenic In sufficient quantities
TO kill all the children had been found.
This led to additional bewilderment Of
the authorities for the distress OF the parents
apparently was too genuine TO suspect
them OF having murdered their children
There were other reasons why they were
deemed innocent
new direction was given TO the inquiries
set on foot by the authorities by the death
last evening of a child Of Frank Marusha,
a neighbor OF the Makas. This child
evidently died from the same cause as that
Of the others. the symptoms being similar.
Two children Of another neighbor. John
Bechech, were taken very Ill. apparently
from arsenic poisoning, but they recovered
under prompt medical attention and their
lives were saved
The parents Of all the children have de-
olared that they have not the least idea
where their little ones obtained the poison.

Reduce IL 20 . Mini imum.
Police Commissioner Partridge discussed
yesterday the subject Of blaokmail In the
Police Department. He was asked IT,,
since he became Commissioner, he had
found any evidence Of the much talked Of
tribute OF vice.
i have received q number Of letters,
anonymous and otherwise. telling OF black
mail, the Commissioner replied. None
Of the information have received would
DO admissible in court IA evidence. have
also received a number OF hints and sug-
gestions. Now. blackmail Is the hardest
kind Of a orime to prove. We have no doubt
Of its existence. 1t has existed, and will
exist, but my aim will be to reduce it to O
minimum.
Il don't want TO give the impression that

backmail during the campaign were un-
founded want to say that the informa-

which 1t comes. makes me believe that

Thorough reform must not be expected
right at the jump, Col. Partridge said:
II would be worked out by degrees. and
even two years was too short a period In
which TO expect decided reform.
The men must understand, ho con-
tinued that outside influence which
has worked great evil In past administrs-
tions, no longer exists. The sooner the
men learn that, the better they will be of.

1t ls a gloomy piece, in which the humor-

some strong lines and situations. but the
latter are marred by absurdities. The
play, when cut and rewritten, may reach
the level Of 'The Only Way
Mr.. Harvey, upon whom the whole burden
Of the play fell, acted magnificently. Sew
eral times, despite the crudties and heavi-
ness Of the pi'ce. he kept the house SPELL

than any Venezuelan gunboat, and being

Tho men add that double wages were

fused. Capt Willis and few others VOL

DERED AND SAYS HE MAY NOT
NEED CAMPAIGN MANAGER.

Gov William D. Jelks came up from
Montgomery yesterday and spent the
afternoon at the Morris and the evening
with his brother-in-law, Mr.. e. H. Cab
aniss, at his residence on the South
Highlands.
In talking with his friends about his
candidacy for reelection, Governor
Jelks told that he was not In any sense
of the word opposed to a primary; that
he would be a candidate whether the
committee ordered a white primary, a
Democratic primary or scrub race. He
was he said, perfectly agreeable.
The impression prevails among the
Governors friends that he would feel
in no danger in any sort of a race. 1t
has been suggested that Mr.. Henry B.
Gray would be selected to conduct the
Governors campaign. Asked If Mr.. Gray
would be his manager the Governor re-
piled:
Il do not know that l shall have one.
When an opponent appears will be time
sufficient to decide about that. | will
say, however, that 1 have never talked
with Mr.. Gray or any other man ON the

TROUBLE
Among Striking Brewers-President of
Local Organization Said to Be Ad-
vising Men to Return to Work.

The most sensational development in
the lockout of the members of the local
Brewery Workers Union Is that Anton
Haas, president of the local organiza-
ton, has advised the members of that
organization to return to work, and has
in effect said that the conditions were
misrepresented to him. or he would never
have advised the strike. There was an
encounter between Haas and National
Secretary Zorn at Workmen's Hall
Wednesday, which came near resulting
In blows. and there were charges and
counter charges made.
1t seems that Haas had intended to
address a meeting of the Brewery Work
ers' Union, and was refused that privi-
lege.
On Monday the executive board of the
American Federation of Labor meets in
Washington. The most important ques-
that of the dissension existing among
the men employed in breweries. There
is a great deal of interest taken In the
meeting. 1t was reported to them that a
large number of the members of the
local organization of Brewery Workers
Union have declared that the situation
was never properly presented to them.
and that they had been misled. Several
of the members of the local engineers
organization declared last night that the
strike of the brewery workers is effec-
tually broken, and that the members of
that organization who return to work
will be sustained by the highest court of
appeal known to union labor-the execu-
tive committee of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.

For Governor? No. have never

considered valuable by him. Besides, l
recall that he announced some weeks
ago In the Age-Herald he would not be
a candidate"
(which one of the men who have been
importuned to run to oppose you do you
think will make the venture?"
II could not tell you, really. 1t is
pleasant to reflect that If neither one

there are several thousand other eligi-
