ed mysterious poisoning of Mrs. Dora
Gilbert, former wife of the gambler.
Herman Rosenthal, received official
confirmation today in a letter address
ed to Mayor Gaynor by DR.. l.. L. r.
Hibbe, who was called in to treat the
woman. He gives no details Of her
illness, but AYERS that he was denied
admittance to Bellevue Hospital af
ter she had been removed there and
demands an immediate investiga-
ton.
THE fact that the woman is an i'm
portant witness for District Attorney
whitman in the Becker case" saws
the letter, makes my request for an
immediate and thorough investiga-
iion an imperative necessity Coming
along so soon after the notorious DO
lice intimidation of other witnesses
II reflects not only upon the hospital
authorities, but seems to be anoth-
er intimation that members of your
administration are endeavoring to
protect Becker in every possible
way"
District Attorney Whitman has
instituted an inquiry into the reported
poisoning. He said he expected Mrs.
Gilbert to figure largely at the Beck
er trial. She was q witness he could
not spare. he added, and he thought
an investigation advisable. Tonight

Central American republics, Of the
aitruistic motives that have animated
the United States Government in in
t"ricning in Nicaragua.
only one guarantee is to be exact
ed from President Diaz's Government.
and that is that the next President of
Nicaragua shall be the free and un-
trammeled choice Of a majority Of the
population Of the country. This will
he following the precedent recently
set in Panama.
AS in that case it may be necessary
for the United States to supervise the
approaching elections in Nicaragua
Officials here are much pleased
with the conduct of the American
bluejackets and marines under Rear
Admiral Switzerland, who guarded
foreign life and property in Nicara-
qua and forced the opening Of the
railroad from Managua to Granda

n Sanitary SmOakhOusc.

My plan for building sanitary
iiy-proof and rat proof smokehous,
follows:
The floor should be concrete, the
siiis should be set in this so as to
be about three inches above the
surface: the floor should be nearly
level with top stills. The posts to
be seven feet high, we'll braced at
corners. Matched siding should be
used. The joists to be 2x6 and
placed two feet apart. They should
lie level on top after being placed
down, and the overhead ceiling.
which should be common gum
loorIng, nailed down 30 top Of joists
before the r7fters ere put up.

Fill in between the joists at each
end with short pieces of 2x4. Then
put up rafters and gable up ends

Besides a good door. there should be
two windows TO let in light and give
proper vetilation. The windows
should have screen wire tackled over
them on inside and be protected by
sliding wooden shutters from out
side. The door should have good
screen opening on inside with wood
en door opening on outside.
Galvanized hooks should be
screwed into the joints to hang meat
on and inside painted or white
washed.
Such a smokehouse would be a
great Improvement over what most
farmers already have, and will not
cost Very much to build For the
average farmer, q smokehouse 10X
II feet is large enough.
The majority of smokehouses now
in use are Very crude affairs, unfit
for the curing of bacon. let alone

charged with criminal relations
with an eleven-y ear-old inmate
of the Davis Child's Shelter, of
this city, Of which institution
Hubbard was superintendent un-
til a few days ago. Hubbard is
supposed to be visiting relatiees
at Broadway, Virginia.
That Hubbard had wronged
her and threatened 20 kill her if

story told the matron by the girl.
whose name is withheld. Hub
bard left several days ago to Wis
it relatives, and since his depart
ure meeting Of the directors de-
cided to sever his connection
with the institution.
The girl told her story and i'm
mediately warrants were issued
for Hubbard's arrest.
The Davis Child's Shelter is
maintained by Henry G. Davis to
care for homeless children and
place them in homes. There are
at present thirty-fiye inmates.
The young inmates story Of
abuse has been partially substan-
tiated by an examination made
by several local physicians. The
girl, one of the largest in the in
stitution,is said to have been
loath to tell her story, but final
ly, when accused after the exam
ination, told a revolving story to
the Matron of the Shelter.
The matter was brought to the
attention of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Samuel B. Avis by George r. |
Price, a local attorney and one of
the Board Of Directors OF the
Davis Child Shelter, and a5 such
makes complaint in the warrant
issued for the arrest Of Hubbard.
Officers of Rockingham county.
Virginia, were requested by the
West Virginia authorities to
place Hubbard under arrest and
hcld him uAtl ,equisition papers

been no reply from the Virginia
officers, Z report was current
here that Rev. Hubbard was re-
turning to Charleston.
About a week ago Hubbard
made a request to visit his fam
lily, which consists Of wife and
seven children, living in Rock
lngham county, Virginia. The
request was granted and after he
had left Charleston stories were
circulated about the Shelter CON
corning his delinquencies.
Word was received later that
Hubbard had been arrested at
Harrisonburg, Va. ard was in
Jail there.

To say that man represents the
