POISON FOR BABES.
Aduterated Infant Food Kills Half
4 Million Year.

Million Year.
Chicago, April 8. ~ Nearly half
million babies died in the United
States last year from the effects of adul-
terated infant foods, poisons used in
coloring butter and candy, formalde-
hyde in milk, and other impure articles
of diet turned out by fraudulent manu-
facturers. Data to prove this assertion
were produced before the meeting of
the executive committee of the National
association of State Dairy and Food
Departments, which met today at the
Grand Northern hotel.
A bitter war in the ranks of the asso-
citation is expected to be revealed.
Food commissioners from different
states, health officers and officers of the
National association are in attendance.
Differences of opinion concerning the
alleged adulterations are said to be re-
sponsible for the strife. Paul Pierce,
of Chicago, and R. Allen, of Kentucky,
secretary of the association, are the
leaders of the two factions. Mr.. Allen
has come to Chicago to look after his
interests.
The claim Of enormous fatality among
infants last year resulting from impure
food is made by J. N. Hurry, secretary
of the Indiana state board of health
Mr.. Hurry produces figures to show
that IS per cent of the total deaths OF
infants in America last year were due
to poisons administered in impure foods
and the deadly concoctions placed on
the market by fraudulent food manu-.
facturers. He produces statistics te
show that more than 100000 infants
died in the United States last year.
eff Mr.. Hurty's figures are correct,
said Mr.. Pierce, "and I believe they
are, an army of $1,000 infants wal
murdered last year by food adultera
tions. They were poisoned by infan
foods and dyes and chemicals contained
in the diet their mothers have fed then
in an effort to appease their appetites
to satisfy their natural desires for nour
ishment and rear them healthfully t,
maturity.
"When such conditions as these ar
harrassing our land, when these baby
killing TODD adulterators are permitte'
to stalk forth among us, blighting ou
homes, feeding on the lives of ou
children to fatten their purses, is it no
time that pure food workers regards
some other subject of greater impor
than whisky, to the adulteration 9
which they have lately devoted most Q
their energy?"

Gar Still Hopes to Win.

St. Petersburg, April A meeting
of all the members of the Grand Ducal
circle was held in the palace of the
Grand Duke Vladimir late last night,
at which the czar was present and at
which the question of war or peace was
thoroughly discussed. A majority of
those present favored the beginning of
peace negotiations, but the Grand
Duke Vladimir and his intimate ,asso-
ciates stated that in their opinion it
would be far better to continue the
fighting, at least for the present. This
view apparently met the czar's view.

Mohair Pools are Bought Up.

Dallas-Dallas witnessed one of its
busiest days Saturday, occasioned by
the selling of the pool of the Polk and
Yamhill County Mohair associations.
The Yamhill pool, consisting of 10000
pounds, was purchased by Bumheimer

association retains the sacks, which
were held at 25 cents each. The Polk
county pool, consisting of $4,000
pounds. was bought by H. L. Fenton,
of Dallas, at 321s cents. The prices
paid are considered the best, as the
market stands.

most possible to use sleds again.
Placer miners are happy over the out
look, as they are now promised a much
longer season in which to work than
they expected from indications short
time ago. Quite depth of snow has
been reached in the uplands, therefore
streams will not dry up as soon as
thought. Weather prophets are at a
loss to explain the unusual conditions
which have prevailed for the past two
months.

President Announces ReOrganiz-
alton Of Canal Commission.
ONLY One old MEMBER REMAINS
Consists of Seven Members, but All
Actual Work Will Be Done
by Three Only.

Washington, April 4.-The president
has carried out his plans for the reor-
ganization of the Isthmian canal COM
mission as to the personnel and busi-
ness methods, generally on the lines of
the legislation he suggested to congress
at the last session, which failed in the
crush of business in the closing hours.
Today, within half an hour after the
presidents departure from Washing
ton, Secretary Taft, directly in charge
of canal matters, made public the
names of members of the new commits
sion and the division of duties among
them. Only one member of the old
commission was reappointed, Benja-
min M. Harrod. Otherwise the COM
mission is new from top to bottom, tor
there is top and bottom and consider
able difference in the functions and
pAy of the commissioners. Finding he
was obliged legally to appoint seven
commissioners, the president did SO,
but he carried out his own plan by
making three of them practically the
full commission. The other four,
though bearing the title of commission
ers, not only receive much lower COM
pensation, but are assigned much
smaller fields of activity.
The personnel of the new commits.
sion is as follows: Theodore P
Shonts, chairman; Charles E. Magoon
governor of the canal zone; John F
Wallace, chief engineer; Rear Admira,
M. T. Endicott, United States navy
Brigadier General Peter G. Hains
United States army (retired); Colone

Oregon Used Up the Funds.

Washington, April g. Seventeen
special agents of the land Office in var
ious Western states were furloughed
today on account of shortage in funds.
A large part of the appropriation for
special agents has been consumed in
the employment of special officers en-
gagged in running down frauds in Ore
gon. Secretary Hitchcock deemed it
more important to get at the bottom OF
facts in Oregon than to conduct extern
sive formal examinations elsewhere.

Dog Poison in Bologna Sausage.

Independencs-Dog poisoning has
become so common in Independence
that no surprise is expressed when a
canine is observed in the throes of
death on the street or in front yard.
Some of the most valuable dogs in town
have been poisoned and though there is
standing reward of 5000, the poisoner
has not been apprehended. Bologna.
sausage containing poison has been
picked up in different portions of town,
but it affords no clue as to the identity
or motive of the poisoner.

Russian Bomb Thrower Mutiiates an
Enemy of Socialists.


Enemy of Socialists.
LODI, Russian Poland, April 3.-Po-
lice Commissioner Szabalovicz, of the
Second district, was seriously injured
today by bomb, which was thrown at
him in the street.
The police commissioner had been
summoned by telephone to come to the
Office of the chief of police, and started
on foot, followed by policeman. The
former noticed, at the corner of Kon-
stantinosk and Zawarski streets, a
poorly clad man carrying basket. As
Szabalovicz approached, the man sud-
denly hurled bomb, which exploded
with terrific force, blowing off the COM
missioner's feet and severly wounding
him in the breast. 1t is feared his in
juries will prove fatal.
The force fo the explosion is judgable
by the fact that it tore hole in the
ground two feet deep and II feet in cir
cumference. The accompanying police
man drew his sword and wounded the
commissioner assailant on the head
When the prisoner was searched a
loaded revolver and some cartridges
were found in his pockets. He is re-
ported to be dying from the sword cuts
received.
The explosion was heard about five
miles away. All the windows in the
neighborhood were shattered. People
in adjoining houses were thrown TO the
floor.
Szabalovlcz is hated by the Socialists
He is charged with killing Socialist
during the disturbances here in Decem.

Snow in Linn Mountains.

Albany-There is now considerable
snow in the mountains in this part of
the state and high water in the streams
in this part of the valley is feared.
The recent rains have filled the streams
up to their banks, and warm rains,
which would melt the snow all at one
time would cause flood. There has
been no damage from high water during
former rains this winter, as there was
comparatively no snow on the noun

WHEAT OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT
Cold Rains Have Damaged Prunes,
but Farmers are Satisfied.

Us
Albany-Linn county people are
watching the weather man closely these
days, and yearn1ng for a fair day"
flag. This is particularly true of fruit
growers, for the recent cold rains are a
menace to the fruit crop.
As it is, some injury has been report
ed. A prominent farmer and fruit
grower of Linn county states that he is
of the opinion that cherries and prunse
are somewhat injured already, particu-
larly cherries. The cherry trees were
loaded with blossoms at the end of the
warm spring weather that marked the
closing days OF February and the first
half of March, and the rain caught
them at the tenderest age. Then a
couple of light frosts last week added
to the danger.
Prunes were not brought out SO much
as cherries by the premature advent of
spring, and may possibly escape injury.
Although the trees seemed to be in
blossom at the beginning of the rains.
they were in reality not generally in
full bloom, but were loaded with buds
that were just ready to burst but had
not yet exposed the tender inner part
to the weather. Under these circum-
stances it is believed the damage will
be nominal, if good weather comes
soon. However, it would not take
many days of chilling rains and winds
to do irreparable damage. 1t has beer
stated that the prune trees were giving
evidence of such heavy crop that il
would really be better for the fruit i
some of the embryo prunes were killed
by the cold.
Other branches of farming are farins
we'll. An easy winter and early sprins
places stock in excellent condition, ane
every class of stock looks well. Dair,
farmers are milking more cows, will

. this season of the year. Many farmer
. will finish the winter in much bette
shape than was anticipated after tn
poor crops of last year.
Wheat is looking fine, and, barrin

I stroy the present bright prospects, tn
wheat yield of the valley will be ia
above the average. Fall sown whea
can almost be seen to grow now, an

view TO the erection of a town build

opinion that, if the town were really
going to put up a building, the lots
