Where lie Msde His Money.

Years ago gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood The
county families could never discover
how he had made his money, but were
satisfied by his solemn assurance that
it was not in trade. Nothing could ex

be placed on the commission of peace
but now and then. without any appar-

President Extends Clemsncy to Viii.
liam H. Armstrong. Jr.

In the belief that William H. Arm
strong. jr. of Philadelphia was misled
into crime rather than that he was an
arch offender, President Wilson has
committed his sentence, striking
eighteen months from the prison term
of two years imposed with a fine of
$4,000 for participation in the activi-
ties of the international Lumber and
Development Company. The President
has denied similar applications for
executive clemency for other officia Ia
of the concern found guilty in the same
transactions.
These officials were convicted in a
federal court of conspiracy to defraud.
Armstrong. secretary of the company,
was found guilty with Charles Nc
Mahon, John r. Marclay. Isaih Miller
and Albert G. Stewart, all of them re-
ceiving the same sentence.

TANKER RAMS FREIGHTER. :
Standard Oil Vessel Breaks Anchor.
age Off Staten Island.

NEW YORK, February 19.-The tank
steamship John D. Archbold. of 1914
gross tons, owned by the Standard Oil
Company, broke from her anchorage
off Stapleton, Staten Island. late today
and crashed into the British freight
steamer Hova. of 1924 tons. also at
anchor. A large hole was torn in the
side of the tanker and the bow of the
Hova was crushed in.
To save the Archbold and her cargo
of oil, tugs lowed her to the Redhook
flats, where she was beached.
The Archbold. reputed to be the
largest tank steamer in the world, was
to have sailed tomorrow morning for
Messina, Sicily. the Hova arrived
today from Palermo, Italy, with a gem
eral cargo, and was at anchor waiting
until a dock could be prepared for
her. The heavy wind is believed to
have caused the anchor chain of the
tanker to part.

NATIONAL POISON law
REGARDED NECESSARY
Martin I. Wibert Of Public Health
Service Suggests Model for
State Enactments.

The need of national poison law. to
serve as model for state laws. now
rated as strange, confusing and made
quate, is suggested by Martin I. Wibert,
technical assistant in the hygienic
laboratory, public health service.
"A practical national poison law
would not only serve as a model to
determine what is a poison, but would,
if based on authentic information bear
ing on the existing use and abuse Of
poisono us drugs" he says in a bulletin
just issued by the public health serv-
ice, ''be an incentive for strict ad-
herence to the provisions Of such a
law; at least in connection with arti-
cles offered for interstate commerce"
Divergence Of State Laws Noted.
Not only is the divergence of state
laws q matter to be remedied, in his
view, but he calls attention that there
are many articles not recognized as
generally harmful poisons because of
their limited distribution that some-
times figure in tragedies that might
suggest the need of some additional
legislation which would adequately
safeguard tnelr sale ana dlStri0ut1On.
He points out instances of poisoning
reported in literature as due to the
ingestion of narcotic or hypnotic drugs
not generally classed as poisons and
within this scope. He also cites the
view of certain authorities. that ordi-
nary articles of commerce possibly
poisonous should not be classed as
poisons unless evidence is available
that fatal accidents have occurred from
the use of such substances which
would indicate that their distribution
should be safeguarded.
Dangers Of Easy Access.
For all usual purposes he COM
ments. ut is generally admitted that
easy access to poisons generally in
creases their abuse and the Likelihood
of fatal accidents from the mistaking
Of dangerously potent drug for one
that is comparatively inert. A more
or less concerted attempt has recently
been made to dissuade householders
from keeping poisons in the home.
Such an attempt. il coupled with sys-
tematic efforts at educating people in
regard to the possible harmful effects
of all potent drugs. would go far
toward making. the enactment of addi-
tional state laws unnecessary

UTAH TO SUPPLY POTASH.
Plenty in Waters Of Great Salt Lake
Saws Senator Smoot.

Potash from the waters of the Great

promises to give early relief for fer
tilizer makers. according to statement
in the Senate yesterday by Senator
Smoot.
Senator Tillman had requested the re-
printing of a public document on the
potash supply. Senator Smith of South
Carolina had asserted that at present
the United States is dependent upon
Germany for its potash.
1T will be but few years until the
cry for potash will cease" predicted
Senator Smoot, as he told Of the de-
velopment of potash deposits in Utah.
