POISONED BIZ STRAWBERRIES.

LOS ANGELES. April 15.-Scores OF
people in this city have been poisoned
during the past few days by strawber-
ries shipped from japanese gardens in
the vicinity OF Gardena and from several
other districts None Of the cases has
been very serious. Complaints were SO
numerous that Chief Of Police Dishman
sent a letter to the horticultural COM
mission asking It's members to put a
stop to the use of poison to kill insects
on strawberry plants.
The Japanese practically are the only
offenders, according to reports. Early Ia
the season worms made their appearance
In great numbers. and as a last resort
the gardeners used some powerful solu-
tion to destroy them. The fruit was sold
to local dealers and the many cases OF
poisoning resulted.
