OLDEST RAT CATCHER
IN ENGLAND DEAD
Often Hobnobbed with Kings and
Princes in Sporting Rem
devious of London.

LONDON. April 1.-THE newspapers
1ind space for somewhat extended no.
tice of the death of John Dalton, the
oldest rat-CatCher in the country. He
died at Southwark. in his nincty-first
year.
Dalton came of a family which for
more than 200 YeaS has carried on A
rat-CatchinS business in Southwark.
They discarded the use Of poison, and
had a secret method of enticing the rats
from their retreats and killing them.
The secret was handed down from faith
err to son and jealousy guarded. Thirty
years ago the elder Dalton retired and
left his business and his family secret
in the hands of his son. John.
The Daltons held contracts with the
leading railway. steamship and dock
companies, and their captures often ran
into thousands. The elder Dalton trav-
eled to his work In an aristocratic Ian
dau. and was often seen in London
emerging from the big London hotels in
his fine clothes. but with a bag Of rats
in his hands, which he turned over to
the coaChman.
He was prominent follower OF sports
generation ago, and often hobnObbed
with kings and princes in the spoi ting
rendezvous which they visited on their
trips to London.
The funeral Of Dalton, says one news
paper account gravely. was attended by
all the chief rat-Catchers of London.

Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear OF years irrslrs the ac-

age people are disposed TO restricted
activity and exercise. which is re-
SponsIble for the constinated con-

gcstive organs arc more sensitive
to the demands made upon them
and rebel more quickly.
A mild, effective remedy for con-
stipation and one that is especially
suited TO the needs of elderly peo-

combination of simple laxative

packed in a barrel lying in n lonely
part Of the Bronx, was mordered by
blow on the head, developed today
when en- autopsy was performed. The
Victims wrists had been slashed.
Efforts to identify the murdered
woman yielded little but from the fact
that her hair was cut Buster Brown

thought she may have been an actress.
On this theory theatrical circles were

Sharp Reply to Request That
Sale of Munitions to Allies Be
i Prohibited.
AMBASSADOR MAY GO HOME
Rumors OF Recall ReWved-His
Quoting Of President ConsId-
, cred Bold Stroke.

The United States may make sharp
reply TO Count Won Bernstorffs latest
request that this Government prohibit
the sale Of arms and ammunition to the
allies.
1t Is no secret in official quarters that
the Administration is displcascd at the
tone of the latest communication IN
asmuch as the German ambassador has
taken the position that this Is memo
randum for which he and not the forelSn
office is responsible, it is possible that
Il may be made the medium for direct
exchanges with Berlin.
The action OF the ambassador In
quoting President Wilson on the MeXi-
can arms embargo was admittedly
bold stroke. But 1t is accepted in some
diplomatic circles as an admission by
the German ambassador that he con-
siders his usefulness in the United States
about ended Using the words OF the
head of a government TO confound the
policies Of that government is. officials
who know say. far from being diplo-
matte.
RumOrs of Recall Revived.
Consequently there has been much in
terest in what action will follow, and
the rumors are again revived that the
German ambassador may soon relin-
auish his post here.
The usual dcnials are made, and they
are as emphatic as ever. but. nevcrthe-
less. there would be little surprise here
should Count Won Rernstorff soon have
to make trip to Berlin to present
personal reports
1t can be said on authority that the
state Department has nearly completed
randum.'' That reply will answer each
contention the German representative
sets up. He will be told the sugges-
tion that this Government has acaui-
esced in the interference with neutral
commerce and the attempted starving
out of Germany is absolutely untrue.
It will be intimated the suggestion by
Won Bernstorff that America should
maintain her right to send her ships
where she pleases by force Of arms, in
reality is polite invitation. which Is
declined. TO enter the war on the side
OF Germany ard Austria.
To Defend Trade In COntraband.
The American trade in arms and am
munition Will be defended as lawful
one, and Germany will receive the sug
Eestion that the markets of the United
that she can buy unlimited Quantities OF
everything purchased by the allies here.
In effect. the position Of the United
States Is that Germany has navy and
can convoy her own commerce.
Officials who have been following tho
German attitude as expressed officially
here believe the relations between the
embassy and the State Department are
I,al IL,
bern nothing approaching an open
break. But it IS known the German
amba assador and most of his advisers
believe the Administration while main
tanning neutrality, secretly sympathizes
with the allies.
Attention is freely called in German
circles to the fact that Secretary Bry-
ans son-in-laW is an officer In the Brit
ish army, and that his daughter Ruth
is increasingly prominent in British
relief measures.
