Around Globe,
Collar Buttons
Only Capital

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.--For three and
one-half years George B. Covell, his
wife and two children have been travel
ing around the world, their only capital
a ton or so of collar buttons.
They arrived here yesterday on board
the steamship Rochambeau of the
French line from Havre. which pert they
left February IL. They will go to Phila-
delphia, to the home of Mrs. Covell's
mc.aer. The children are Ruth, )
years old, and Beatrice, 2h years. The
first named was born in New York, the
other In Seattle.
In June, 1908, George b. Covell, at
that time living at Seventh avenue
and 140th street, concluded hat he
would like to see the world. He had
invented a collar button and. shipping
a ton or so ahead of him, he took his
wife and little Ruth and started west
ward. He sold the buttons along the
way and presently found himself in
Seattle. Here his second child was
born. and from that port they took a
steamship for Hawaii. More collar
buttons were sold to the --awaiians,
and the family went to the Fiji
Islands. Going into the interior, they
met with savages who had a predilec-
ton for human flesh as a food. The
family saved their lives by the ju-
dicious exchange of buttons for shells
and other native mediums of barter.
1t is not related to what use the scant-
lily clad cannibals put the collar but
tons, but they liked the glitter of the
near-gold effect.

REPORT ADDS MYSTERY TO
CHTLDREN'S POISON DEATH

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 27.--B'urther
mystery was added to the poisoning
of Ruth and Elmer Lewis, who died
shortly after eating breakfast on SUM-
day, February 4, when County Physi-
clan Wescott filed a certificate in the
City Hall yesterday setting forth the
cause of death of the two children as
unknown Captain of Detectives
Whalen and T. d. Taggart have an
nounced repeatedly that they were
awaiting the report of the county ply
stefan before taking any definite action
in the case.
The breakfast which is believed to
have resulted in the children's death
consisted of oatmeal and milk. An
investigation by the city n State
health authorities led to the suspicion
that poison had been placed in the milk
to wipe out the whole Lewis family,
all the members of. which were made
dangerously i'll.

Viii Marry Her
bat Won't Pay
Damages Also

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 2I.-Decidine
that matrimony is the shortest route to
a settlement of their breach Of promise
litigation. Jacob Suravitz, a wealthy
resident of Olymphant, and Katherine
P~ristascz, his former housekeeper, have
resumed their love affair with a clean
slate.
The jury before which their case was
recently tried in the United States
Court here awarded the girl $4,000. the
biggest breach of promise verdict ever
awarded in Pennsylvania.
Yesterday the reunited couple called
on, Morgan S. Kaufman, the bride
elects attorney, and announced that
they We're ready TO settle the csse by
paying the court costs.
Kaufman was unable to share their
bliss aud in a runpus that followed ne
reminded the complainant that she as
signed her damage claim to the Scran-
ton Trust Company when the cas- was
started. Suravitz retaliated with a
statement that Miss Pristascz has
signed an affidavit to the effect that
she perjured herself in the suit.
IF you think I'm going TO marry her
and pay damages. too, you're making
a big mistake" said Suravitz hotly.
Suravitz promises startling exposures
if steps are taken to collect the YER
dict, of which Kaufman would get
half.

All Gas Meters Are Inspected Regularly

1t is the custom of this company to
inspect meters regularly and so keep them
in good condition. 1t is certain then that
the meters are correct, both in the inter
est of the consumer and of the company
Records are kept Of the test of each meter,
and it is surprising how close the results
are 1t can be safely said that the aver
age net result is slow, and less than two
per cent.
1t is a fact of public record that the
bulk of meters complained of register
slow, or against the company. Some few
register fast. This happens from de-
rangement of the meter, and which it is
not possible to avoid with any mechan-
zeal appliance; but the total number of
fast meters in proportion to all the meters
in use is relatively insignificant This can
be easily verified in the records of City or
State Meter Inspectors anywhere in the
United States or throughout the world.

SILVER FOX BOYS
RETURN FROM CAMP

The Silver Fox Patrol OF boy scouts
returned last evening from their camp
on the Mississippi below Andalusia.
They report a fine time, in spite of
heavy rains and the attacks Of organ
tied bands of mosquitoes. The boys
spent five days on the trip, with fun
on the river and in it, as well as with
their scouting work on land. They
enjoyed the novelty, among other
things, OF watching the river rise more
than two feet during the time they
were encamped on It's banks.
The trip in both directions was
made on the motor boat Monarch, and
proved a most enjoyable feature Of
the outing The boys who attended
were Charles Mott, Fred Helpenstell,
Elmsr Johnson, William Willis, Ed
ward Lamp, Oscar Larson, Melvin
Johnson, and Harry Clarke
