lies in the hospital with a full load
of ganshot in his lower left stomach
and Spake Elmore is In jail awaiting
developments in che condition OF the

down to the Elmore home to get some
chickens, for which jenkins had made
a bargain with Spake Elmore's father

gone up the steps and was on the
porch when Spake Elinore opened fire
The full load took effect In jenkins

to stumble down the steps and out to
the carriage Thomas lifted him in

RULING AGAINST SACCHARINE
IS AMENDED BY REQUEST
Wilson, MacVeaEh and NnEel GIVE
Manufacturers One Year Longer
10 Adjust Their Business.

WASHINGTON. May 2S.--As result Of
representations from manufacturers who
asserted the government was doing the q
great injustice, Secretaries Wilson. Mac
veagh and Nagel today amended a recent
ruling OF the Department Of Agriculture.
prohibiting the use OF saccharine In food
products after July l. so as to give manu-
faoturers one year longer to adjust their
business.
John F. Queeney of St. Louis, insisting
that saccharine is not harmful unless used
in excessive quantities for a long time, told
the board Of review that the manufac-
turers, who had made large investments
In good faith, were confident that the
three members Of the cabinet who pass
final Judgment on orders OF the Remsen
board will rescind the order placing sac
charine under the ban.
