for treason, and a senator charged

senate had already at that early day

Claimed Death From Wound in

London, March 7.-As weird story
of plotting and poisons as ever was
attributed to the Medici came to a
close in Old Bailey this afternoon,
when the crown, thru Attorney Cen
eral Sir F. E. Smith closed it's case
against the quartet accused of conspir-
ing to kill Premier Lloyd George and
Minister Arthur Henderson.
Attorney Shriza, the Indian barris-
ter who appeared as counsel for Mrs.
Alice Wheldon, Miss Hetty Wheeldon
and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Mason, the
accused, announced in his opening
statement that he would call each of
the four to the stand. He indicated
that the defense would be persecution
by police officials and unjustifiable
linking of purely circumstantial evil
dence.
Wanted Poison for Dog Guards.
Mrs. Alice Wheeldon, eldest of the
conspirators, mother of Miss Hetty
and of Mrs. Alfred Mason. was the
first witness for the defense.
She swore that Inspector Gordon
of Scotland Yard, approached her as
conscientious objector to military ser
vice concealing his true character as
a secret service agent and sought to
obtain from her poison with which to
kill certain dogs guarding friends OF
his-other conscientious DIRECTORS =
who were imprisoned in concentration

London. March 7.-Subtle poisons,

were revealed as the tools by Wh1ch
the four plotters against the life OF
Premier Lloyd George and Minister
Arthur Henderson sought to accom-
plish their end in testimony offered
at the Old Bailey trial or the TOUR
today.
The crown called two expert toxi-
cologists and pathologists. Both de-
livered a bewildering analysis OF the
effect of various poisons found by In
spector Herbert Booth of Scotland
Yard in the possession OF MRS. Allce
Wheeldon. Miss Hetty Wheeldon and

two a substance similar to curare, a
poison formerly used by South Amerl-

drugs.
Chemists Analyze Poisons.
Dr. Bernard Henry Salisbury, path
ologist for the home office. corrob-
grated DR. Webster's testimony. He
estimated that half a grain of the
strychnine hydrochlorate would be

of the exact amount of curare neces-
sary to kill, as it was a rare poison,

EXIT CHEAP TABLE D'HOTE
Impossible to Dine cheaply and
Well in New York
Nowadays.

The cheap table dhote, the refuge Of
New Workers and their country rela-
tives who wanted to dine in respecta-
hility, Is n thing of the past, writes
the New York correspondent Of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. The little base
ment places where you could get a
red ink" dinner for 80 cents now
charge 10 cents to spear the spaghetti
and at places where the fare was 10
cents to go from soup to nuts the rate
had been boosted to 81 for the round
trip. II isn't because the submarines
have made importation of spaghetti and
wine from Italy an uncertain and cost
ly affair, for very little of the spa
ghetti and wine came from Italy before
the war. The drain OF foodstufrs from
the United States into Europe and the
scarcity of labor are the big factors.
Spaghetti, long the piece de resistance
Of table d'hOtc, has doubled In price.
II used to cost 81 n case before the
war, now 1t is 50. The table d'hOte
uses American spaghetti and the high
price Of wheat has made II Il luxury.
The climate here, says the restaurant
men, makes II impossible to keep spa.
ghetti it breaks up in little pieces.
Then there Is chicken. That used to
cost IS cents n pound for all ages
now 1t is around % cents. Cheese
was one Of the staples Of the table
d'hOtc that was imported, but It is get
ting pretty nearly impossible TO get
any Parmesan or G%OrgOnzOla any more.
Another reason given why table d'h0te
prices are going up Is the scarcity of
help. immigration has stopped, espc-
cially from Italy; and here in this
country men have left the kitchen to
work in the munition factories. Even
at 10 cents and 81 restaurant men still
maintain that table d'hote is the most
economical form of eating in this town.
And If you don't believe il, they say,
just see what kind of n Sunday dinner
can be bought at the markets for a
five spot.

From an address by Rev. Father
james II. Cassidy Of Fall River. Mass. /:
"Unionism, as l conceive II, stands
for brotherly help. Saloonism stands
for brotherly robbery. Unionism stands
for self-protection. Saloonism stands
for self'destruction. Unionlsm stands
for self and brotherly benefit. Saloon
Ism stands for self and brotherly in
jury. UnIonlsm stands for conserva-
ton Of strength and increase Of wage.
Saloonlsm stands for the dissipation
and diminution of both. Unionism
stands for the full dinner pail Saloon
Ism stands for n pocketful of beer
checks. Unionism stands for better
homes and the highest standard of

wretched homes and ruined workman
