CHICAGO, Feb 12.-Although II. J.
Doherty. manager of the University
Club, today said a missing employe
OF the club had attempted TO poison
Archbishop George William Mum
delein and 100 distinguished guests
at a club banquet. police said they
had received no official complaint
from DOherty and knew nothing
whatever Of the alleged attempt.
Doherty, in second statement TO a
United Press reporter, today went
even farther than his original state
ment that he suspected the missing
employe.
81 am convinced that one man. who
/ is missing, was responsible for the
poisoning" he said. MY attention
was first drawn to this when the
employe disappeared after the ban
quet. We Investigated and searched
the mans rooms In them we found
an improvised laboratory. containing
from ten TO twenty yials that we are
sure contained poison. Also VIC
found literature written by anarch-
lists. Some of the vials we're half
empty. We believe the poison in the
soup was taken from these half
empty Walls. The work was that OF
one man. He was by no means a
chef just an assistant"
Doherty declared a statement by
DR.. John Dill Robertson, health COM
missioner. that unsanitary conditions
were found in the clubs kitchen
was without foundation
Health Inspector Armstrong report
/ ed to Robertson that the copper ket-
/ tie in which the soup was cooked
was old and had become corroded.
Admission that the police are seek
/ ing the missing employe was made
I shortly before noon after a confer
ence between II. ]. Doherty. manager
of the club. and Detective Captain
/ Collins.
Archbishop MundeIein. who former
" was of Brooklyn. was installed as
head of the Chicago diocese Wednes-
day.
A complete analysis of the soup
served at the dinner was being made
today by Prof. Edwin o. Jordan, head
OF the department of bacteriology at
the University OF Chicago. Prelimi-
nary tests indicated the poison was
arsenic or mercurious nitrate.
Among those who were made i'll
by the poisoned soup were: Roger c.
Sullivan. Democratic political leader;
Bishops Muldoon. Of Rockford, ILL., {;
Gum. of Grand Rapids, Mich, and
Carrigan. OF Sioux City, Iowa; Mon

SHIP THREE THOUSAND
TURKEYS 4 DAY FROM
COLUMBIA TO EAST
THANKS SEWING BUSINESS IS NOW
IN FULL SWING OVER THE
ENTIRE COUNTY.
VALUE MORE THAN 100000
One Hundred, twenty-five Persons
Given Employment In the Poultry
Houses-New Records Hung up in
Prices and Numbers of Birds.

Giving employment to more than
one hundred, twenty-five persons, the
business of supplying Thanksgiving
turkeys to the Eastern markets is run
ming night and day in Columbia. None
OF the produce houses think Of closing
their doors before twelve o'clock at
night and this IL considered an early
hour.
Turkeys are being shipped out from
Columbia alone at the rate Of three
thousand day, and the two large
houses in other cities of the county
will bring the total for Maury county
far above that number. The business
usually lasts for about fifteen days,
and by Thanksgiving more than forty
FIVE thousand birds will have been
shipped out from Columbia
Conservatively estimated, the
Thanksgiving turkey crop in Maury
county will be worth over 100000.
The number of birds is the largest
on record, and the price which deal
ers are paying is now twenty-one cents
a pound, establishing another new rec
ord. The farmers will receive the
largest sum ever paid for turkeys
grown in Maury county.
The turkeys are brought into Column
bia in large wagons. From thirty to
forty birds constitute a wagon load.
They are weighed on large scales, and
the farmers paid for their product.
The turkeys are then taken to the
dressing room, where they are hung
up by the feet A picker takes OF
most of the feathers while the birds
are stil1 alike. A knife is plunged
through the roof of the birds mouth
into the brain. The brain is paralyzed
by the stroke and the feathers win
almost drop of. Other pickers take
off the pin feathers.
The turkeys are then hung up in the
cold and thoroughly chilled. Often
they are left out in the air until they
are taken to the railroad station to be
put in refrigerator cars, but some
times they are placed in cold storage
in Columbia
From Columbia they are shipped In
refrigerator cars direct to the Eastern
markets.

There is none better in the state. .
This was the comment that State High
School Inspector Bourne, made on the
County High School, after spending an
entire day in the school, hearing every
caIss recite and interviewing and
watching the work Of the teachers.
Inspector Bourne was delighted with
his visit. Your school has improved
until now it is the equal of the best
in the state and vastly superior to the
majority" continued Mr.. Bourne.
THE equipment is splendid, the dis
ciplina and the school spirit among
the students most excellent and the
teaching force could hardly be i'm
proved upon. The faculty from Super
intendent Harris on down is credit
to any high school
Il was greatly impressed with the
work in the class rooms. There Is now
nothing lacking to put this institution
in the list Of accredited schools and
there it will go. Only one suggestion
and that is that the grades other than
the high school should be given other
quarters because the room is going
to be very much needed. look for a
constantly increasing enrolment in
the High School as the people of the
county come more and more to realize
what splendid institution they have.
"Maury county has made splendid
progress, great strides in public edu-
cation within recent years and your
schools should be the pride Of every
patriotic citizen. 1t is real pleasure
to visit the High School here and see
the work that is being done The two
additions to the faculty in Miss Frier-
son and Mr.. Moore were very fortu-
nate, The school is to be congratulate
ed upon securing their services"
