Opposition to the commission form
OF municipal government in Cairo
is fertile in resources stranguIa-

in an endeavor to throttle the pub

''Roorbaeks" and SANDER and un-
scfupulous methods are the means
used in the effort but so far these
stories have ia len HAT.

law in the matter, either through
ignorance or knavery probably the
formet, as the opposition apparently

knowledge relative te. the law, is

Ascribing il TO ignorance is tho
charitable way in accounting for the
latest stand OF the opposition.
Two local attorneys in comment

In the quoting OF Section nine
OF the act the claim is made thas

Government cannot be voted UPON in

RESULT OF MISTAKE,

Chicago. May 24.-W. L. McCutch-

three bichloride of mercury tablets,
thinking they were aspeirin, will not
know for week whether his mistake
carries a death sentence. McCutcheon s
case is almost identica! with that of B.

er, who died Wednesday night Of the
same poison, except in the amount Of
the dose. McCutcheon took three tab
lets of 41-50 grains each. while the
Georgia man swallowed seven grains.
McCutcheon hope for life is based
on the speed with which he obtained
medical aid. 1t is believed most Of the
poison was eliminated by emetics.
McCutcheon complained last night of
feeling i'll and friend suggested that
he take some aspeirin tablets. He took
