Poison on Bread.

Chicago.-A startling conspiracy
to poison bread has been discovered
in connection with the strike Of Local
No. 247 of the Bakers Union, and
four men all judged to be members
Of the union, have been arrested
charged with putting acid on hun
dreds of loaves of bread distributed
among Jewish residents Of the Max
well street police district. The acid
and quantities of iodoform we1
thrown on wagon loads Of bread and
rolls after they had left the bakeries
where the strike is on. Capt. Maho'
ny, has detailed twenty men to search
the district for the poisoned bread
Because of the creed of the Jews
they will not eat bread unless it i,
baked az a Kosher bakery, and as thu
strike is on at almost all the largs
bakeries the thousands of Jews II
the district are in a reign of terror
They are afraid to eat and all day
throngs beseiged Capt. Mahony, call
ing for good bread.
The police captain has eonfsca;ed
baskets of poisoned bread and rolls
and is holding them as evidence. Hs
has sent warnings throughout his dis
trict advising the people to inspect
all bread before they eat it, especially
tha; from the Kosher bakeries.
In the pockets OF the four men who
were arrested by Detective Frank
Kiln were found bottles containing
carbolic acid and packages of pow
dered iodoform.
"I am holding the men on the
charge of conspiracy and malicious
mischief declared Capt. MaAonE
"and / have enough evidence, in my
opinion, not only to convict them, bu,
also the officers of the union who sent
them out. /"
