Whether these events are enough to

the United States agrees that genuine
Correspondence is inviolable, it does
not admit that belligerents may search
other private sea borne mails for any
other purpose than to discover whether
they contain articles Of enemy owner

 VARNISH BOOZE KILLED THREE
Joliet Convicts Crayed Liquor and Extracted Poison From ShelIac.

Joliet, III, Dec i7-Three prison CTS in the penitentiary here are dead, three more are expected to die and three others are ill, as the result of drinking wood alcohol which they extracted from shellac in an effort to satisfy their cravings for liquor.
