POISON WAS IN THE MILK.
Jolting on Rough Road While Warm
Produced Ptomaines.

Trenton. N j.. Aug. 6.-The New
Jersey health authorities have traced
the poisoning of Rev. J. B. Morris, of
Passaic, and about a score of other
persons of that city to a single can of
milk.
The report is to the effect that the
milk was produced under good condi-
tons. The poisoning is said to have
been caused by carting the milk over
heavy and hilly roads before it had
properly cooled. The milk in this
case was jolted over miles of road in
a sultry atmosphere and the chemical
action caused ptomaine poison.

The Japanese Soldiers Are out OF
AnmuaItIsA -. @
VERY HARD TO GIVE DETAILS.
Y Is Believed From the Sound or Fir.
Ing That The Heaviest Battle Took
Place North Of Yentai, Where Japs
Assumed Offensive.

Mukden, Oct. ia Russian cores.
pondent Of the Associated Press gives
the following account of the battle.
Up to the present time the battle
along the whole line has been one of
varying success. We are now resting
cold, drenched and weary, from heavy
thundeFstorms. We hold positions
captured from the Japanese and are
now awaiting developments on the ex-
IRENE east.
The fighting on October Ii was fur.
1ous and continuous along a front SO
I extensive that 1t would be impossible
TO give details from any one point.
Judging from the sound, the heav-
West firing took place north Of Yen.
tai, where the Japanese themselves
assumed the offensive. Nearer the
center 1t was quieter. We moved for
ward, occupying some OF the small
passes.
1t should be pointed out that at
such an extensive front it is difficult
to say which position constitutes the
real center. 1t will be more correct
to distinguish the cente2 and tanks
separately Of each division.
Our losses on October II were com.
paratively small. In the small divis.
ions where was stationed the firing
slackened toward evening, but recon-
menced after dark and continued with
but little intermission all night.
On October 10 everyone looked for
a crucial engagement, but the heavy
fighting developed that the result
would remain undecided The Japan
ese advanced boldly and attacked hot
ly on the extreme right,at Yentai and
further toward the left. All their at
tacks were repulsed with great loss
We also suffered heavily. The con.
veyance Of the wounded to the hospi-
tails was accomplished with difficulty,
owing to the distance of the railway.
The division to which I am attach
ed deployed on October 10 opposite
two passes called Touminlinsky, eight
miles north of Bensihu and Kua pass,
five miles west, each bounded by high
and almost perpendicular hills which
held Japanese. Our troops had tried
4n the night Of October II to take
Me passes during a storm. Several
companies went forward, but they did
not succeed in reaching the heights.
Lieutenant Grozdieff, who had already
been decorated with the Cross of St.
George, for bravery, led another as
sault and reached the Japanese
trenches at the top of the hill.
The Japanese ran out Of ammuni-
ton and met our men with stones and
dubbed rifles in a'btter hand-to-hand
struggle. In the meantime Japanese
