TUBERCULE BAClLtI
FOUND IN BUTTER
Three Samples Taken in Burlington and

Laboratory Revealed
Presence.

Burlington, Jan. l3.-The first of a
series OF tests of all the butter man
ufaetured and sold in Vermont has just
been completed at the tsate laboratory
OF hygiene and shows that three out Of
ter samples taken in Burlington CON
tanned positive evidence Of tubercule
baeili. Those samples were procured
by the state laboratory, and on Noyem-
ber n a number OF guinea pigs were
imoculated with two cubic eentimeters
each OF the butter. On January au.
topsies were performed on the guinea
pigs, followed by the startling announce
ment above.
There are over 200 creameries in the
state and the series of tests Of butter
will be continued at the state labora-
tory under the pure food law, and un-
der the orders Of the state board Of
health.
1t has been demonstrated that tubercle
bacilli viii live in butter in cold storage
for months. The same danger from in
fected beef does not exist, as much of
the danger is eliminated by the cooking

Charles w. Morse Taken to Hot Springs
Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. l3.-Charles w
Morse, the New York banker, yester-
day was ordered transferred from Fort
Mcpherson, Ga, to the Army General
hospital, Hot Springs, Ark. President
Taft and Attorney-General Wickersham
decided upon the transfer, believing spe-
eial medical treatment was necessary.
Because of his physical condition, Morse
recently was transferred to Fort Nc
Pherson from the Atlanta penitentiary
where he was serving Is years for vio-
lation of the banking laws
Attorney-Geheral Wickersham issued
the following statement regarding the
transfer of Morse from Fort McPher-
son to Hot Springs:
"By the direction of the president, the
attorney general has to-day issued or
ders for the transfer of Charles w.
Morse from the post hospital at Fort
Mcpherson, Ca, to the Army and Navy
General hospital at Hot Springs, Ark,
for treatment. Very urgent application
has been made to the president to par
don Morse in order TO allow him to go
to Carlsbad for treatment, which, it was
represented on his behalf. was essential
to HIS recovery. The army medical au-
thofities have. however, advised the
president equally effective treatment can
be furnished at Hot Springs Ark, and
the prisoner is therefore directed to be
transferred there, still remaining in the
custody Of the penitentiary authorities.

mother, and with the completely of the
others members of the family.
The Couvrigny family lived in a chat
eau at Fresne.la- a-mere in the department

baroness, whose allowance had been cut
of by her husband because she was a
confirmed drunkard, coolly held a fam
lily council which discussed the best
means of removing the baron. Both
strangulation and hanging were consid-
cred impracticable by the members Of
the family, but three attempts to poison
the baron were made, although all proved
unsuccessful.
The baroness then made her son, Rob-
crt, intoxicated--with absinthe and in
dueed him to shoot his father from an
ambush. After the deed the baroness
calmly examined the baron's body to
make sure that he was dead

Two Men and Three Women
Drowned at Trenton, N. J.
DRIVER NUMBED BY THE COLD
One Other Occupant, the Driver of the
Machine, Escaped Drowning as the
Automobile Went Through the Ice,
After Plunging Off the Road.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. l3-Two men
and three women We're drowned to-day
When the automobile in which they were
riding ran onto the ice which covered an
artificial stream of water used by a
power plant outside of the city. The
names of the two men are known, but
the women were not identified. The
men were Donald Reed and Chester Van
Cleef.
One other occupant of the automobile,
Frederick Foster, escaped drowning.
Foster was driving the machine and be-
came numbed by the zero weather, thus
losing control of the machine. As they
came to sharp turn in the road, the
automobile shot off the road and onto
the ice of the stream, the ice breaking
and letting them through into the
water
Donald Reed was the son of Justice
Reed, and when Harry Baker, chauffeur
for the latter, reached the scene of the
accident and learned that Justice Reeds
sons body was held underneath the ma
chine he stripped off his clothing and
plunged into the water. With the mer-
curry below zero, Baker did this several
times and finally brought the body of
young Reed to the surface.
