Students Poisoned BY Milk
At a College Feast Sunday

According to the diners. milk was
the only article served partaken Of by
their entire number. The meal had
just been concluded and the diners
were preparing to rise when Powers
fell in commissions to the floor. At the
same time he was stricken absolutely
blind. His companions rushed to his
assistance. but equally sudden each
became deathly sick. Their cries
summoned aid and they were taken to
a hospital. where seven are In q pre-
carious condition. Powers will recov-
er. although it is feared his eyesight
is permanently lost.
An investigation was Immediately
inaugurated by State Chemist w. F.
Frisbie and State Dairy Commissioner
H. r. Wright. but the nature OF the
poisoning was not determined. Com
missioner Wright tonight expressed
the belief that tyro toxicon poisoning
was responsible for the attack.
The police investigation is being
carefully conducted and intimation
was made tonight that clew which
may develop a sensation was the basis
of their work.

Judge Fox Today Made a Rul-
ina in Regard to Divorce
Notices.
THIS MAY MEAN TROUBLE
VALIDITY OF CASES WHEREIN
NOTICES HAVE BEEN PU0llSH.
Ed IN DAILY PAPERS Is NOW
QUESTIONED.

Publication in divorce cases must
be made in a weekly newspaper Judge
Fox. Of the Wayne circuit court nllcd
on the question this morning and de-
clared such publication In any but .
weekly will not be accepted In the fu-
ture. He questions the validity Of
proceedings In which other papers have
been used to display the notices. At
torneys were Instructed to observe tbs
rule in the future and govern them
selves by II to avoid error. A paper
printed seven days q week can not no
regarded as q weekly.
The ruling of the court was promul-
gated following q discussion raised
last week by Henry U. johnson. Mr..
johnson had had inserted q notice of
divorce proceeding In a daily newspi-
per. The court told him he believed
1t ought to have been put In weekly.
Mr. johnson said he believed the clerk
looked after such things and the clerk
said publication Is made according To
the request Of the attorney. The stat.
utes were referred to and the question
was put before Judge Fox for settle
ment.
The court holds 1t Is plain that the
publication must be made In weekly.
Any other Is defective as the statute
states plainly that In cases OF divorce
publication must be made In weekly.
Those for liquor licenses may be made

Some OF the lawyers were not dtspos-
ed to accept the ruling OF the court un-
til the law was looked up again. 1t
was found to bear out the court In his
stand. It Is probable there II large
number Of divorced persons whose de-
crees were granted In this county. who
might be found not to be divorced. Il
the law were strictly Interpreted. The
court does not expect any case OF that
kind to be brought to his attention,
but in the future only the new rule
will prevail.

LIVE STOCK IN THE WEST INDIES.
(AqricuIttual Necs, inn. 23rd)

The nature and quality of the live stock OF
a country generally form a sure lndIcHuon OK
fhe degree to which agricultural progress
has advanced in the community, slnoe among
the first points recognized by those anxious
20 improve the conditions of agriculture are
khe Importance of introducing or developing
the most valuable qualities IN the various
kinds of stock kept, and Of breeding only
from the best.
The West Indies can scarcely be regarded
as a stock raising country, since agricultural
pursuits form tbs chief industry. Yet, as
animals are required III fairly large numbers
for ~ labour, (2) meat, and (3) mhk' the
matter Of their breeding and rearing - an
important consideration, and should receive
every attention compatible with the possI-
bilities of these colonies in that direction,
The large number Of animals imported every
year indicate that there is abundant scope
for home production, and the raising OF
stock should certainly form q more consider
bile feature in the economy If many estates
than It does at present. A secondary reason
which NAV be mentioned i'll favour OF this
Dolicv is the value of the pen manure pro-
duoed.
1t is obvious that a good deal more yet
remains to be done in leveling up the gener-
al character of West Indian stock, and fur
ther that, under present conditions the fui
returns that might be possible from meat
and milk production are now realized IN q
few cases only. Among the chief reasons
for this state Of affairs are o. want OF care
in selection and breeding, by which Is meant
not orly the use of male ANIMALS OF INFERIOR
character, but also that, in many cases, IN
sufficient attention has been given to the
selection of those particular breeds which
are best adapted to West Indian conditions
az imperfect realization of tue fact, III the
case of cattle, that the various breeds may
be regarded as specially adapted either Tor
beef production, or for milk production, but
that it is useless to expect both qualities IN
q high degree in the same breed and ~
the INADEQUATE nature of the food supply on
many estates, which frequently IS INSULT

WESTERN CANADA
OPT OPPOSED TO NAVY.
Section Largely Settled by
Former Americans. /.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 27.-That the
new provinces of Alberta and Sas-
katchewan are in danger of becoming
Americanized seems to be the view of
Richard B. Bennett, prominent CAL
gary resident
"The real problem of the future will
be how to. keep Eastern and Western
Canada together,"' said Mr.. Bennett
AT present they are bound by three
things, sentiment, which is rapidly
weakening; railway and steel and the
tariff. Eastern Canadians have a mis-.
sion to perform in preaching loyalty
to the empire and to Canada as a
whole. The maritime provinces are
loyal and strong for united Canada.
Quebec must be, because once out of
Canada the Frenchman seems to be of
little value. Ontario is also loyal.
Manitoba is too old to be moved in "a
vor of secession and British sentiment
in British Columbia is so strong as to
preserve it intact, but in Alberta and
Saskatchewan problem must be
faced.
"Westerners whom talked with do
not favor the idea of Canadian navy
at present. There is a very large pro-
portion of Americans in the Canadian
West and many of the leaders among
them hold the view that the talk Of
Canadian navy at the present time is
idle"

Dr.. Cook Did Not Keep Promise to Elk
pIorers' Club.

New York, Dec. 27.-The committee
Of the Explorers club, which has been
investigating the claim of DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook that he reached the sum-
nit of Mount Mckinley, reported to
the board of governors of that club
that after exhaustive investigation it
failed to find any evidence to support
DR.. Cooks claim.
The committee, in it's report, said
that it had made every effort to Sc
cure information from DR.. Cook on the
Mount Mckinley expedition, and that
DR.. Cook appeared before the commit
tee on Oct II, last, and promised to
submit data and other information,
This promise he failed to keep and the
committee believes that he purposely
disappeared.
The committee states that It ex-
amined Ward Barrill, the guide who
was with DR.. Cook on the latter's ex-
petition, and also took the testimony
Of the packer, Frederick Printz, but
that in reaching verdict the commit
tee threw out the testimony of Barrill
and Printz, in view of the possibility
that their testimony might be cues.
toned.
The committee says it's report
against DR.. Cook is based entirely on
scientific testimony.
