NEGROES PUT UNDER ARREST
ON SUSPICION
FIENDIsH PLOT DICTATED BY
REVENGE ALLEGED
Boarding House Cook Discovers Some-
thing Wrong, and Analysis by
City Chemist DiscIoses
Salts of Vitriol

Charles Johnson of 125 Rose street
and w. II. II. Morris, whose address is
unknown, were arrested last night by
Detectives Hawley and Mckenzie and
placed in central station on suspicion.
1t is believed by the police that the
two prisoners made an attempt to
poison a boarding house full of people,
out of revenge for having been ordered
away from the place.
Johnson and Morris are negroes and
have been lettering around the boarding
house of Mrs. Fannie Martin, at go
East First street. The house is con-
Quoted for the negro porters and wait
ers employed by the Pullman service on
the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and Salt
Lake roads.
Several days ago they were ordered
away from the house, but the night of
December "a they were found near the
place and again were ordered to leave.
Early Christmas morning a milkman
delivered two fiVe-gallon cans of milk
at the house, placing 1t on the back
porch. When the cook went to serve
portion of the milk for breakfast she
noticed a fine green powder in the bot
tom of one of the cans she had emptied.
She tasted the milk, and finding it had
a peculiar taste spoke to Mrs. Martin
about it. Fearful that there was some-
| thing wrong with the milk sample OF
| it was sent to the city chemist and the
remainder was locked up in a closet.
The city chemist found the sample of
milk heavily impregnated with salts of
vitriol, and the case was reported to the
police.
Johnsons room on Rose street was
searched yesterday and several bottles
of vitriol in solution were found hidden
in the room, as were also several pack
ages of poison in the form of crystals.

Iieved nv many prominent citizens, will
do much toward reducing it's eff
Cheney. Thus q hard fight is on with a
good prospect of many Of the amend
