arrive here to-day. 1t is possible they
will be examined before the grand
jury tomorrow. The district attorney
wishes to obtain from DR.. Waite a
statement giving his version of the
circumstances of Mr. Peck's death.
Since Wednesday DR.. Waite had been
under the influence of drugs taken, he
said, to induce sleep and no coherent
statement could he obtained from him.
Meanwhile the discovery of arsenic in
the body of Mr.. Peck led to the order
for the dentists arrest and the
stationing of detectives in his apart
ment.
Among the exhibits upon which the
authorities are working are medical
books taken from DR.. Waite's library
containing marked passages describing
the effect of poison such as that al
legged to have caused the death OF Mr..
Peck.
The Peck mystery is regarded by
the authorities as one of the most eX-
traordinary cases they have had TO
deal with in years. Mrs. Anna Peck
died in DR.. Waite's apartment at 2
o'clock Sunday morning. January 80.
The body was cremated at Detroit.
John F.. Peck died in DR.. Waites
rooms Sunday morning, March IL and
his body was embalmed and started
for Grand Rapids that day.
One of the undertakers who pre-
pared Mrs. Peck's body for shipment
to Detroit, recalled to-day that they
were compelled to mako great haste
to place the body on board the train
leaving here on the afternoon of the
day of her death. One or them said
the body was still limp five hours after
embalming. indicating to him that
there was something present strong
enough to counteract the effects of the
embalming fluids.
The identity of the woman who, ac-
cording to DR.. Waite's admission to
the district attorney, was registered
with him at hotel as DIR. and Mrs.
W. Walters, has not been disclosed
by the authorities. They intimate
however, that it is not likely she
knew of the alleged murder. 1t is
stated that after DIR. Waite returned
Peck's body to that city he directed
the woman to leave the hotel and she
has not been seen there since.
DIR. Waite's prominence as a sports
man and tennis player, has increased
the interest in the case here. He won
the Metropolitan indoor championship
here early in the season and figured
in the national indoor championship
when he was defeated by r. Lindley
Murray, who won the title.

trict Attorney Swami gave orders that
he should be brought to the Tombs
court for arraignment later in the
day.
Detectives on guard at his apart
ments were instructed not to relax
their watch for a minute.
Having recovered to-day from his
state of coma DIR. Waite told his
guards, according to reports they made
to the district attorney. that he would
keen his lips sealed as to the identity
of the woman with whom he lived at
a hotel as DR.. and Mrs. A. w. Walters

quoted as saying. II will not give

The grand jury meanwhile resumed
consideration of the case with DR.. A.
A. Moore, the physician who has been
attending Waite under summons to
appear as a witness.

Within a few minutes Tom Lee
looked somewhat more respectable in
a homespun suit, worn but whole and
a yellowed prototype Of the great
straw hat the farmer wore. He was
given a good meal in the kitchen, fur
nished with pitchfork by the farmer
and put in the day so diligently that
Reuben commended him approvingly.
'I'll show you your quarters in the
attic" said the farmer after supper.

"Just as you like" said Reuben.
"Ah, there's Nellie, my daughter. Been

Tom Lee braced himself and stood
like a statue at the hitching block
as a young lady drove into the yard,
and, waving her hand gayly to her
father, rounded the house and came
to the barn. She alighted graceful as
some nymph, then stood rooted, star
ing with strangely questioning eyes
at Tom Lee.
'You?" she gasped, and her face be-
came bloodless.
Tom simply bowed He had folded
his arms and stood like a man await
ing anger, disdain, censure.
"Why did you come here?" she
faltered.
''For purpose You need not rec
ognize me, you must not betray me.
You will know in a few days"
Old Reuben was coming towards
her now and the brief colloquy was
suspended.
Tom Lee did not seek to meet Nellie
Waite again. He went about his work
steadily. If old Reuben Waite had
been watchful, however, he would
have noticed that the eyes of the new
farmland followed him everywhere
and that he sought to be near him
whenever he could.
1t was three days afterwards when
Farmer Waite came upon Tom Lee
mending hay rake. His face was
stern and fore5oding.

MUNITION TOWN OF FRANCE
lie Creusot and the Immense Ordnance
Factories Started There by
the Schneiders.

LIE Creusot is the center of Frances
war munition works. Like the famous
Krupp works of Germany, LIE Creusot's
vast ordnance factories owe their
origin to the organizing and inventive
genius of one family-the Schneiders.
At the outbreak of the war the
Schneider Iron works employed more
than $4,000 workmen and their great
shops, covering hundreds of acres of
ground, were connected by a network
of nearly 40 miles of railroad tracks.
Since the war this plant has been
enormously increased, says National
Geographic society bulletin.
LIE Creusot owes it's Importance in
the manufacturing and foundry indus
try to the fact that it is in the center
of one of the richest coal and iron min
ing districts of France. The coal beds
of this region were discovered in the
thirteenth century, but it was not UNI
TIL 500 years later, in 1774, that the
first iron works were established. Sixty
years later the Schneiders, Adolphe
and Eugene, established their first
workshops here, and the little hamlet,
formerly known as Charbonniere, be-
gan to grow. In 1S41 it was town of
1000 people; just before the war there
were $4,000 inhabitants, nearly half of
whom were employed in the armor-
plate factories. the gun shops, the To-
connective works and the ordnance
plants. 1t was one of the Schneiders,
incidentally, who revolutionized war
ship armament in 1876. Up to that time
the most progressive nations used
wrought iron for protective armOr on
their ships. Schneider proved the
superiority of steel in resisting the
penetrating power of projectiles.
lie Creusot is admirably situated
with respect to the French frontier,
for while it Is not so far from the fir
ing line as to occasion undue delay in
the transportation of munitions, 1t Is
sufficiently removed to be well beyond
the danger zone. 1t is 135. miles, In
an airline, southwest of Belfort, a
fortress of the first class on the Alsace
front, and is 175 miles south of Yer
dun.
Supplementing its railway connec-
tons. LIE Creusot enjoys the transpor-
tation facilities of the Canal du Centre,
five miles to the east. This waterway
Joins the Saone and the Loire. The
former, rising to the north in the
Faucilles mountains a few miles below
Epinal, flows south and mingles Its
waters with the Rhone at Lyon. The
Loire, the longest river in France, rises
10 the south and flows northwest into
the Atlantic.
While LIE Creusot has practically no
historical associations of its own, IL
is only a few miles southeast of Autun,
the famous Augustodunum of the Ro-
mans, celebrated for its ancient
schools. The 81 towers and most OF
the old walls have disappeared. and
the town now occupies only about half
the area of its most prosperous days.

Teddy is the joy of a North Hill
neighborhood, not on account of his
ancestry, because Teddy is a dog of
varied antecedents, but because he is
one of the best-natured and most high
ly accomplished ''purps" imaginable.
To be plain and frank, Teddy is a
mongrel, and this fact was conveyed
to one little boy who urged his father
to get him a dog just like him.
The little boy knew Teddy was a
mongrel, but his idea of what "mon-
grel" meant was surprising when re-
vealed to his father.
"What kind of a dog would you
like?' the father questioned when he
finally consented to make the pur-
chase.
"Just like Teddy"
