sTARTLE FOOD CONGRESS.
Manufacturers Make Sensational As.
sert;ons Before Department Heads.

Mackinac Island, Mich, Aug. 9. -
The result Of all the recent pure food
agitation has been to establish the
housewives claim that preservatives
are not needed in food products and
that the products are better when
prepared without the personalities.
This much was admitted by the man
ufacturers themselves in the closing
session of the convention of the asso-
citation Of state and national food and
dairy departments.
In the past most manufacturers have
denied the presence of any great
amount of adulteration in foods and
have %contended that chemicals in
small amounts were necessary to keep
them in a proper state of preserva-
ton.
Hence it was strange to see repre-
sentativeS of certain manufacturing
interests take the floor and make
charges against food authorizations as
startling as ever were made by the
most radical food crusader, and i'm
plore the food officers to stop the use
of chemicals and colorings in canned
foods. 1t is a natural outcome of the
food law endorsements that those who
are complying with the law demand
that all others be made to do like
wise.

Boys Say Victim Was Lured tc
Attic Room on Day of Death
by Aged Man.
WOMAN ADDS WEIRD TOUCH
Tells of Dog That Shifted and howled
at Door of Death Chamber and
Was Kicked Out.

Chicago, Aug. 9, - Sensational In
formation was obtained by the police
yesterday afternoon in their effort to
clear up the mystery Of the murder
Of Tuffa Shashem, which, the officers
have learned. is the correct name of
the victim Of the Mud lake tragedy.
Two boys-August Cardersell. aged
twelve, and Dominick Larado, also
aged twelve-testified to Inspector
Dorman that young Shashem had on
Sunday last, the day of his disappear
ance, entered the home of Hassin
Nemmer, n Of the men under arrest,
in company with Nemmer.
Boy Did Not Return.
The boys waited half an hour for
their companion to return, but finally
got discouraged and left. That was
the last they saw of the lad until his
body was brought piecemeal to the
morguc. A weird touch was added
to the story of the boys by a woman
living opposite Nemmer's home. She
declared that On Sunday night she
was attracted by the bowling of a dog
whose nose was pressed against the
crack under the outer door of Mem
mer's attic room. The dog acted as
if he had struck a scent and was dis
tressed because he would not follow
it, the woman declared. She said
presently a foot appeared from the
doorway and the dog was kicked down
the rickety stairway.
Is Given "Third Degree"
Nemmer is sixty years old. His
room is at 1O2 Mather street, O
second floor Of a dingy and dilapi-
dated frame building. 1t was here
that the, police discovered two saws
and a long knife, and on the bed what
seemed to be blood stains. Nemmer,
who .pent most Of yesterday undergo
ing the third degree" at the police
station, explained the stain on the
bed by a cut finger. and said that SINH
lar marks on he saw were due to the
fact that he sawed soup bones with it.
Dozens of persons were interviewed
by the officers during the day, among
them being the fathers of several
youths, who had complained of Mem
mer's peculiar advances toward their
sons.

Trolley Cars Running at High
Rate OF Speed Crash Together
Near Piqua, Ohio.
MISTAKE IN ORDERS IS CAUSE
Cars Come Together With Terrific.
Force, One of Them Being Com.
pleteIy TeIescoped.

Dayton, Ohio, Aug. IL. - Five per-
sons are dead, five are probably fatal
~ injured and fully twenty-five others
sustained minor injuries last night
when two trolley cars crashed togeth-
er between Sidney and Piqua, on one
of the lines of the Western Ohio Trac-
ton company.
The north-bound car out of Piqua
was running on time. while the south
bound car out of Sidney was late and
running at great speed. The cars met
almost directly in front of the Shelby
county infirmary, to which the dead
and injured were conveyed. Physi-
clans and surgeons were hurried to
the scene in automobiles from Sidney.
Mistake in Orders.
Mistake in orders caused the wreck,
1T is said, which is the worst that has
occurred in this section of the state
IN many years. Both cars were run
ming at a high rate of speed. While
rounding a slight curve each motor
man caught sight of the approaching
car. Bailey, who was a new motor
man, tried to jump from his car and
was killed. The two cars came to-
gether with terrific force. the impact
completely telescoping the south
bound car. in which the majority of
those killed and injured were passen-
gers. Owing to the remoteness of the
point at which the accident occurred
relief was slow. It is said that several
persons may die as the result of their
injuries for lack of proper care.

BOILER BLOWS UP; NINE KILLED
Explosion Comes Without Warninq,
Practically Demoiish;nu Mill.

York, Pa, Aug. 12.-Nine men were
killed, nearly a score of others more
or less seriously injured and thou
sands of dollars worth of property
damaged by the explosion of a boiler
in the York rolling mill late yesterday
afternoon.
The boiler, which was located in
the center of the mill, exploded with
out a moments warning, thousands of
persons being attracted to the scene
by the shock.
A rescue party was quickly organ
lied and search for bodies was insti-
tuted.
Bodies Terribly MangIed.
A majority of those killed had their
heads and limbs torn from their bod
les and we're so badly mangled that
Identification was almost an impossi-
hility.
The mill had been closed down for
about a week and two score of men
were engaged in making repairs to an
engine. The men were working close
to the boiler, and when the explosion
occurred not one of them was able to
make his escape. The shock was so
terrific that it demolished a large pro-
ton of the mill and sent heavy pieces
of twisted iron and metal in all direc-
tons.
Great Damage Done.
The plant of the Bromal, Schmidt &
Steacy company, located near the
scene of the explosion, was badly
damaged. Box cars on the railroad
siding adjoining the mill were torn to
splinters and seveval persons close to
the damaged building were injured by
flying debris.
The shock was felt over the entire
city. The head of the boiler, about
four feet square, was hurled nearly a
block.
The injured are all expected to re-
cover.
