Restaurant Not Filthy.

MI. Editor:
In the early part of July 6, 6, z, s,
IL, 16) visited Gavitt's restaurant, all
parts of it. dining room, kitchen, ice
box. etc. 1 saw his tables, dishes, pans,
kettles, etc.; saw the food and the ma
terials that went into it; saw the men
who prepared the food and talked with
them; also talked with A R Gavitt.
No one knew, even the first time that
was going there, and at the time of
my first visit nobody, except DIR. May
and myself. knew that there were a
great many sick from supposed acct
dental poisoning; therefore, do not
think there was general houseclean-
ing before my first visit.
A. R. Gavitt was very sick himself.
Is it reasonable to suppose he ate food
that he knew was filthy and dirty? In
my opinion, his place and the things
in it were neither unsanitary nor dirty.
No influence of any kind has been
brought to bear on any Rhode Island
officer; neither has there been an eff
fort made to smooth anything over.
Personally, I do not think that Mr..
Gavitt is in any way to blame forSthe
supposed poison cases. He has been
abused and prosecuted untustly, along
with others who have made every eff
fort possible to clear the matter up.
Can anyone mention a thing that
has been left undone that would have
aided in any way in clearing it up?

"IndispensabIe Man" Killed in Action

Birmingham, England, Aug. A.
Private Horace Gee. who became
known throughout England as the
indispensable man. as the result Of q
debate in parliament, has been killed in
action in the DardanelleS. After he
had enlisted, the Birmingham cham
Der of commerce petitioned parliament
to release him from military service
on the ground that his services as an
expert maker Of needles were indis-
pensable to the boot trade of central
England. The matter was brought UP
in parliament and the government was
compelled to defend it's refusal to re-
lease Gee, stating that the shortage
of needles had not so far affected the
rate OF production of army boots.
