BAKERS, TAKE NOTICE:
BREAD MUST BE CLEAN
State Insists on Omission of
Rusty Nails, Buttonhooks and
Other Foreign Substances

Bakers who are dirty and proud of it
will have to reform.
There will be no more covering up the
soil spots with flour. 1t has been found
that the crisp brown crust of apparently
innocent bread often covers multitude of
sins
The campaign against careless bakers
will be very rigorous, 1t is highly prob
able that these molders of the dough will
have to remove their boards, chase their
mustaches, keep their hair cut short and
wear skin tight gloves and see that bread
contains nothing but normal ingredients.
Bald-headed, bare-faced bakers will be in
demand.
1t is at least provoking to find such
things as rusty nail, a button hook,
section of a brick. a carpet tack, hooks
and eyes and other things among ones
morning rolls. But these and even
stranger things have been found. All OF
which goes to show that the dough which
composes the bread or rolls might have
been used as a 'bludgeon or a door mat
in some dark mysterious cellar, where
much of our bread is produced.
The trouble is that many bakers make
bread with about as much care as they
shovel coal in the furnace. To them it's
merely case of getting so many loaves
baked for the morning.
So much foreign matter has been found
in bread that the State has taken the
subject In hand.

DEFENSE IN MOHR
CASE ENDS ABRUPTLY
Minister'S Testimony A i d s
Woman Accused of Muir
der of Husband

PROVIDENCE, r. L.. Feb. 1.-The de-
fense in the trial OF Mrs. Elizabeth r.
Mohr charged with instigating the MUIR
der of her husband, closed at l0;39 to-
day.
The trial sessions will now be devoted
to the defense of the two negroes charged
with having carried out Mrs. Mohr's or
ders TO shoot the physician.
The action Of Mrs. Mohr's attorneys
came as n distinct surprise. Several wit
nesses. Including Emily Burger. the
"other woman" who had been summoned,
remained to be called, and II was eX-
pected several more days might be re-
quirod to complete her case. With the
testimony OF her l2-year-old son Charlie
disposed OF yesterday, however, the eli
max of Mrs. Mohr's defense was reached
and three additional witnesses were dis
posed of within an hour today
The Rev. William Mcnamara and
James j. Cronin gave testimony favor
able to Mrs Mohr, in that it cast doubt
upon the story of George Heals, negro
chauffeur who turned States evidence
and declared the accused woman arranged
for him to stop Doctor Mohr's car while
the negroes, Brown and Spcllman, shot
him to death.
Cronin said Heals told him "if he had
known anything like the shooting was
going to be pulled off he would not have
been n party to It,"

DIR. LYON ADDRESSES
DELAWARE STUDENTS
Evangelist Discusses Some Sim
pie but Vital Principles of
Life and Conduct

NEWARK, Del, Feb 1.-Students of
Delaware College and the Womens Col
lege as we'll as citizens of Newark gave
Dr. Milford II. Lyon, the evangelist who
is conducting a successful campaign in
Wilmington, rousing reception when he
preached at the college this morning. The
meeting was held in the college oratory,
which was crowded. Doctor Lyons SER
mon was often interrupted by applause
and the evangelist was given the college
yell" when he concluded.
Doctor Lyon, who was formerly presi-
dent of a college in Iowa, talked on First
Things First" He said that next to his
own home, the Lyons Den, there was no
place where he would rather be than
among students, Doctor Lyon said many
people were prone to emphasize small
things and depreciate large things. Too
many look through the wrong end of the
telescope. They see little things big and
big things little" he said He urged the
necessity of students taking care of their
health.
Tell me what you eat and / will tell
you what what you are" the evangelist
said IF you had a racehorse you would
keep Ii in good physical contition to win
all the time II is the same with you
students, You should keep in physical
health all the time, | am glad to see
that girls are taking more physical
exercise these days"
Doctor Lyon said one of the great
dangers Of today i'm colleges was the
placing of the big man in athletics above
the big man i'm studies.
1T is what you are above your neck
that wins, and not what Is below your
neck The world wants the man with
brains,p he added
Tackle the hard things; don't always
look for the easy thing. Grapple with
hard problems. If you have to have
new book and a new oyercoat and can't
get both, take the book, Don't grow up
ON Your ancestry. What you are is what
counts the revivalist> asserted.

SALOONKEEPER BOSCH BELIEVES
IN "FLAGGING" DRUNKARDS
Calls Verdicts Against
Rum Sellers Who
Ignore Wives Re-
quests Entirely Just
Says Mrs. Alexander
Authorized Him to
Give Her Husband
All He Wanted

Jacob Bosch, too, believes that a man
should be prosecuted IL he sells liuuor 70
any man after that man has been
Tagged" by his wife.
He holds that If he did sell liuuor to
Adam Alexander at his saloon, 252l North
zith street, after his wife, Mrs. Virginia
Alexander, asked him not to do SO. that
jury ought to finG a verdict of $500
which he should pay Mrs. Alexander 2625
Huntingdon street.
But Mr.. Bosch holds that he has not
been given square deal and that a pack
or lies have been trumped up against
him to secure the verdict for the
woman,
This is an awful thing" said Mr.
Bosch when sitting with his daughter Ida
and representative of the EVENING
LEDGER in his saloon today. II have had
this place since 1907, and all the people
in this neighborhood can tell you that
| have had a reputable and a decent
place. This case came as an absolute
surprise to me. | never thought | would
have such an experience because I have
tried to do the right thing. This woman
never asked me to stop selling liquor to
her husband. She did tell my bartender
once and 10 minutes later came in and
told him to sell old Bean Belly (that Is
what she called him) all the liquor he
could drink"
Mr.. Bosch holds that Mr. Alexander
came to his saloon as he would to a
library or a club, that he seldom drank,
and estimates that the man did not drink
more than 500 on liquor in his saloon in
the year before he died. He says, though,
that the Alexal-ders always had liquor In
their home.
mo one ever saw Adam go out of my
saloon drunk" said Mr.. Bosch with spirit,
He was n steady drinking man, but he
never got drunk. Because of the dropsy
which all his family suffer from, perhaps
the drinking was not good for him, but
1 am sure that what he got in my saloon
never killed him. He was feet inches
tall and weighed between 265 and 270
pounds so you see, he was in some con.
dition when he started to come here"
Then Mr.. Bosch told, as he told in

FRANKFORT HOSPITAL
TRUSTEES AND DOCTORS
DISAGREE ON STAFF
physicians of That Section Re-
volt Against Alleged Favorit-
ism Shown to Their Down
town Colleagues
CLAIM PARTIAL VICTORY

THE attempt of F'rankford physicians'
...,,od almost as a solid phalanx, to oust
rnrnett o'Neal and Charles j. Russell,
g., vears members of the Board OF
r.ustees of the Frankford Hospital made
i, ,be annual meeting Of the hospital
,.A ninht. because these men, according
% Frankford doctors. were prone to favor
,be downtown physicians, was a partial
success.
rrankford doctors are guarding their
interests jealously. but they say they feel
.ho effort last night was not a failure, in
sr,te Of the fact that their candidates, S.
waiter Foulkrod and John Walton, were
dsfeated 2 to 1 by Emmett o'Neal who
,os reelected while James McMaster
,as chosen to take the place Of Charles j..
Russell
some assert that Russell knew he could
rnt he elected, and refused to have his
name submitted. Others hold he wanted
neace. peace at any price and so he
sacrificed himself.
For the last year, there has been
feeling among the physicians of Frank
tord that the board of trustees are prone
fo favor the uOWUlOWl phy slNietho'
cording to S. Walter Foulkrod, when
asked about the situation this morning.
Mr.. Foulkrod Is the attorney whom the
doctors called in to help them out of their
diaicultv. He was not a member OF the
Erankford Hospital Corporation, so sent
In his SIS fee and an application for MEM
barshib. He was taken in as a member
and ran on the Doctors ticket for
member of the board of trustees. Letters
and telephone calls had been going the
rounds of Frankford for days in an effort
to elect Walton and Foulkrod.
"I think that the corporation did the
hest thing possible under the circum-
stances" said Mr.. FoullSrod this morning,
"and am glad that Joined the organiza-
tion. | am not the least bit disgruntled
because / was defeated 1 consider Mr..
McMaster one of Frankford's strongest
and best men. and am glad he has been
elected. / think that as a result of the
meeting last night, there is better Telling
between the doctors and the trustees than
there has been for n long time"
When asked what the trouble was, one
of the pro-doctor faction said this morn
ing. "The entire trouble grew out of the
disposition of the trustees to adopt pol
lev of having two downtown men, one the
chief surgeon and the other the physi-
cian-in-chief, as the practical medical
board of the Frankford Hospital.
prior to 1915 the hospital medical staff
virtually constituted the medical board.
The Frankford physicians met as a board
and made recommendations. These the
trustees acted on. This policy was
changed in February, 1915. and the Frank
ford men were ignored" he added, land
the result was dissatisfaction, which has
grown" .

court how Mrs. Alexander came to his
saloon and told the bartender not to sell
her husband liquor, and now she came in
later the same morning with a pitcher
wanting beer. and at that time told the
bartender to sell her husband all he
wanted.
He doesn't look murderer does he?"
said Miss Ida Bosch at this point. Il
think this case was a fearful lot of lies,
and l want you to know that my father
is not the kind of man he has been
pictured in court. He is decent, law.
abiding citizen, and one all the neigh
bors sympathize with in this case We
are mighty sorry it has happened, but
truly It was not our fault"
