POISONED TURKEY SENT
TO KILL WHOLE FAMILY

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29.-An at
tempt to poison the family of Adolph
Ottinger a retired railroad ticket
broker, by means of a poisoned turkey
sent to his home Thanksgiving, be-
came known today, when the police ad-
mitted that they We're searching for
the would-be poisoner.
The turkey was left in the kitchen Of
the Ottinger residence during the tenn
porary absence of the Chinese cook.
Believing it was the gift of some
friend, Ottinger ordered the cook to
place it in the pantry until one al
ready being prepared for the table was
disposed of.
' The following day it was noticed
that the turkey had assumed peculiar
color, and becoming suspicious Ottin-
ger carried it to chemist, who found
large quantity of arsenic in the
dressing. There is no cleW to the
identity of the person leaving the
turkey nor to the motive for attempt
ing the murder of an entire family.

luck and the bravery and presence of
mind of Bertha Rosenthal saved the
life of Cecilia Snyder, a 3-year-Old
child, who fell from the window of a
moving Second avenue elevated train
directly between the dreaded third
rail and an inner car rail just in front
of the northbound platform of
station.
Miss Rosenthal, who was on the
southbound platform, noticed the child
lying on the track, and throwing aside
her furs and jacket, she leaped upon
the track and made her way across the
rails to the baby. She found Cecilia
tightly wedged between the rails, but
by summoning all her strength she
succeeded in tearing her loose just be-
fore a train came rushing to the sta
tion. Cecilia was little hurt and was
soon restored to her distracted parents.

DENVER, Nov. 29.-For the first
time since the inception of the trouble
between Bishop Matz and Father j. F..
Carrigan of st. Patrick's church,
which resulted in the reading of a for
NAL letter of communication of
Father Carrigan in the churches of the
diocese yesterday, Bishop Matz today
made public statement.
1.-THE letter from me read in the
churches of Denver yesterday does not
alter the status of Father Carrigan
in any way" said Bishop Matz, but
it publicly informs the communicates
of the Catholic churches that he is out
side the pale.
"They have been able to make the
excuse that they had not been notified
and all that they knew they CLEANED
from the newspapers. But now they
know it from me, and it is a matter
for their own coEsciences."

"JOASH CHEST" REALIZES
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
Fund for Redecorating Church is
Raised by Self-Denial on
Part of Donors

CHICAGO, Nov. ga novel service
was held yesterday at the Forty ninth
Methodist Episcopal church when $500
was deposited in a chest called
"joash chest" as a result of one month
of self-denial on the part of the doners.
Cigars tabooed for a month, the pur-
chase of a much desired pair of gloves
postponed, buns cut out of the morn
ing meal, walks instead of street car
rides, were some of the factors that
made the offering possible as related
by the pastor, Rev. Alfred Peache.
The chest was named in honor of the
Biblical character who took chest,
as the story reads in Second Kings and
"bored hole in the lid and set 1t be-
side the altar and there received all
the money that the people brought in
to the house of the Lord"
The chest was placed beside the altar
of the church and the entire congre-
cation filed by and placed their offer
ings in it. The offering will be used
in redecoratiug the auditorium.

HEALTH OF ANIMALS BEST
BECAUSE OF GOOD DIGESTION

An interesting interview was recent
ly obtained with L. T. Cooper, whose
theory and medicines have created
such sensation during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking of the re-
rnarkable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: MY med
icine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human
stomach today has become degenerate,
and is the cause for most i'll health
In the horse, the dog and the wild ami
mails generally you see no nerve eX-
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify it. The human race
has been doing this for years, and look
at the result-half the people are COM
planning of poor health, not real ill
ness-just a half-sick tired droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
is the matter with them.
81 know that all the trouble is
caused by weak, overworked stom-
achs. 1 have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of people
in most of the leading cities of the
country. This is the real reason for
the demand for my preparation"
Among those who have recently been
converted to Coopers theory is Mr. S.
w. Beckham of Aberdeen, Miss, who
SAYS: 81 have just spent four miser-
able years asking and searching for
relief from indigestion and stomach

ing / have been through. My health

self rapidly failing. l could neither

TRIAL MARRIAGE COUPLE
WILL CONTINUE WEDL0CK
After Living Apart One Year Hus-
band and Wife Decide to
Live Together

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-After
living apart for a year. Archibald w.
Robins and wife, the original trial mar
riaage couple who last January brought
to an end a fiYe-year contract of we'd
lock, have learned the pleasures of
platonic friendship paled beside the
warm glow of marriage, and, according
to the terms of the original agreement,
they have gone back to each other.
The trial marriage started six years
ago. The couple loved each other, but
the girl held advanced ideas on the
subject of binding herself for life.
Let us draw up a contract" said
she, "and If at the end of five years we
find we are not happy let us separate"
At the end of five happy years, dur
ing which they conducted jointly a
vegetarian restaurant, the couple de-
cided to part for a year.
Fire, however, consumed the restau
rant, and the next day Mrs. Robins
came and wept on the shoulder of her
husband friend, and they decided to
break the contract.

medicine did no good. 1 tried out

I was at the end of my string, my
pocketbook emptied, and l was in a
worse condition than ever. | gave up
in despair; there seemed to be no hope

cine. 1 threw up my hands in disgust

take another chance, and bought one
bottle of the New Discovery. L had
no idea that it would help me, but it
did.
From the first day I could notice

cleansed, my stomach felt easier and
retained food, and my digestive or
gans began to perform their functions
properly. My sleep became restful and
refreshing. l developed a good appe-
tite and soon discovered that L could
eat anything I cared for and as much
as i wanted, without thouSnt or dis
tress afterward.

strength soon returned and l continued
until l had taken four bottles. / am
now entirely well-never felt better in
my life. All my former trouble has
disappeared. I owe it all to Cooper's
New Discovery, and would be un-
grateful, indeed, if I failed to give
praise where it is due.
II make this statement purely from
sense of duty. To anyone who is
suffering in any way from stomach
trouble can recommend this Cooper
medicine"

Important Step Contemplated by Inn

Clarifies Problem Long Under

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov pa reVls-
ion Of the imperial laws of JAPAN
which will extend to aliens the priYl-
lege Of owning property in fee simple
for AGRICULTURAL and other purposes,
will be the chief consideration in the
next treaty that is consummated IN
japan with other nations, according 10
NJ. ZumOtO, proprietor of the Japan
Times of Toxic the close friend OIL Ihe
late MARQUIS Ito and one of the big
figures in the present day public lie OF
the island empire.
Zumotos expression is one Of inter-
national significance, rejecting as IL
Goes the representative trend of pubhc
thought in Japan, and for the first time
clarifying a perplexity which for years
has been one Of the chief bones of con-
tention between Japan and the OUTSIDE
world.
The editor is a member Of the Japan
ese commercial commissioners party
which is visiting here during its last
few days on United States soil.
Ever since the days Of isolation
declared Zumoto yesterday, I'VE have
been taught to believe that the foreign
or occidental world sought to obtain
supremacy by gaining possession of the
public lands.
Somewhat Careful
consequently we have been some
what conservative in our IDEAS OF the
administration of lands
1--WE do not permit aliens to own our
lands. but we do permit them to use
the surface soil for almost any purpose
under lease, which may be extended
over a term Of 900 years
81 believe that by permitting foreign
ers to own land in our country the ma
ton would derive many advantages,
and I have been unable to appreciate
under what conditions such an ar
rangement would prove derogatory TO
US
$50 I have strongly advocated a
change in our system which will permit
foreigners to come into our country and
to acquire title to our lands. In an ag-
ricultural sense the foreigner. although
he might have the keenest acumen,
could in no wise place the japanese at
a disadvantage, and instead of belieV-
ing that it is necessary to retain our
lands and their products absolutely Tor
the japanese, contend that the nation
would be aided If the aliens were per-
mitted to own property. The cheap
labor and the economical living of the
Japanese would have the effect or
euualiZing the competition.
"When the time comes for Japan to
consummate a new treaty with one of
the other nations | am confident that
the matter of foreign ownership of
lands will be the chief consideration"
