FULTON, Mo-, Aug. S.-What
county authorities believe to be a
plot for the wholesale poisoning of
children has been unearthed at Con-
cord, in Galloway county, and as a
result two men and a woman were
arrested there yesterday by order
of the prosecuting attorney and
brought to Fulton to be arraigned.
The persons arrested are L. o. Boyd,
a farmer, his wife, Mrs. Anna Boyd,
and Jefferson Woods, horse dealer.
The children whose lives were en-
dangered belong to families whose
members testified in a slander suit
brought recently against DR.. T. w.
Ellis, a prominent physician of Con-
cord. Mrs. Boyd asked for $15.-
900, alleging that DR.. Ellis had
DETAINED her character. The jury
brought in a verdict for the defend
ant. Jefferson Woods was named
in the suit.
The first alleged attempt on the
lives of the children was made sev
eral weeks ago, when a package o.
chewing gum was found in the
yard of Edward McPheeters, {
nephew of Judge Robert McPheeters
of. Fulton. Less than a week age

At first she refused to answer any
questions in regard to Peters, but

In the correspondence turned over

for obtaining the information desired
by his government.

This location would be central and

right to go into court and secure a

labor men or the union from strik-

ment Bill Enacted Into Law,

At today's session of the House commit
tee on reform in the. civil service DR..
Llewllyn Jordan. secretary Of the United
States Civil Service Retirement Associa-
ton, urged Immediate and favorable con-
sideration by Congress Of legislation
looking to the retirement with pay Of
superannuated government employees.
You have two civil service retirement
bills now before your committee" said
DR.. Jordon. Il pray that you may soon
begin the consideration Of a measure to
relieve the superannuated employees in the
government service. The Civil Service
Retirement Association 10 inclined to
favor the Gillette bill for a contrtbutory
retirement system.
There is also before the committee the
Hamill bill. providing for q straight civil
pension. There are hundreds OF employees
In the government departments today who
ought to be retired. No cabinet officer
or bureau chief Will have the heart to
turn these old and faithful employees out
in the cold world. Retirement legisla-
ton Is necessary.
II the merit principle Is to be MAIN
tained In the departments at Washing
ton 1t is high time that Congress should
devise some plan to relieve the service OF
those who have become too old to per-
form their duties. These employees should
be retired under some sort OF an equi-
table and just pension system. The loss
to the government through the retention
OF these old employees must amount to
