President Roosevelt's answer to the

Mr.. Roosevelt's answer to the gov

GCCUSED OF POISONING
EIGHT LITTLE BABIES
Woman, According to Police, Has Con-
fessed to Putting Oxalic Acid in
Milk Given Infants.

New York, Feb. 29.-The mystery OF
eight deaths Of babies in the Brooklyn
Nursery and Infants hospital was
solved tonight, the police say, by the
confession of Winifred Ankers, a kltch-
en- woman at the hospital, admitting
that she placed oxalic acid in the Da-
bies' milk bottles.
The alleged confession was obtained
by a police detective after two hours
detention of the woman who had been
under surveillance since autopsies de-
veloped the probability that the IN
fants had been poisoned.
"On Saturday night after the bot
ties had been prepared for the babies" "
the nolice version of the confession
runs, "I put two or three drops OF
oxalic acid into the bottles. J did not
do it with intent to kill the babies but
7 wanted to get square with the nurses
who were my enemies"
The police believe the Ankers Wo-
man is demented. Her story they re-
gard as true, however, and 1t was OF
fcially stated that she would be ar
rested on charges of homicide tomoT-
row. It was considered advisable to
leave her at the hespita! tonight un-
der guard.
Winifred Ankers IS "a years old.

w. A. Loveland Has a
New Plan
Would Clear a Part of the
Land for Actual Settlers
to GO on.

w. A. Leveland, Minneapolis,
president of the Northwestern
Bond company, which concern
controls 10000 acres of Douglas
and Bayfield, county lands, has a
new plan to settle the land of
Douglas and Bayfield, counties.
The company of which he is
the head, is to partially clear
lands before placing the acreage
on the market, the purpose be-
ing to induce settlers to occupy
the lands and give them a better
start. It is figured that by do.
ing this the settlers will sooner
be in a position to meet pay
ments promptly, making the
transactions better for all parties
concerned.
"I think it is a most excellent
idea,' declared Mr.. Loveland.
THE Northwestern company is
to clear 25 per cent of the land
to be sold to settlers. If a
prospective buyer punches 40
acres we will clear 10 of it, if he
buys 80 acres we will clear 20
and so on. We have shipped a
big stump puller into Bayfield,
county and as soon as it is
through it's work there it will
be brought to Douglas county.
"We are interested in the de-
velopments of this section not
for present revenue to be de-
rived but the future. The north
ern part of Wisconsin, especial
ly Douglas and Bayfield, couD-
ties, has a wonderful future and
the sooner people get in on the
ground floor the better for them.
