More Than zoo Rotarians in Line

In The Liberty Loan Parade last
Thursday two hundred and twenty
members OF the Rotary Club closed
down their desks and paraded fof
Uncle Sans Reserve Stock. This was
the first time in the history of the
club that the members ever appeared
IN public. There were ten rows of
twenty. each headed by captain. Ro-
tarians are all captains or lieutenants
of industry, but on this occasion most
of them fell back into the ranks will
ingly.
Rotarian Charles +. Lawrence, m
officer of the Home Guards, was The
general in charge" and, as the boys
saw, he made 'em step lively. Presi-
dent William II. Brady had provided
armlcts b, ring the word Rotary
and cane flags with which to answer
the cheers.
Rotarian Harry Lauder'S Highland
Pipers led the brigade. The skirl of
the pipes and the fancy, double-armcd
drummers were inspiring, but the march
ers claimed it was difficult for Amer
lean feet trained to fox trotting to
keep step with the "Campbells Arc
Coming"
Almost all the veteran members of
The club paraded, and some of the new
recruits. Rotary, while not large, as
New York City organizations go, now
numbers about 500, and is a good cou
mcrcial representation of the city's
varied business interests. Rotary has
one representative from each line of
business and profession in the city.

War. did the individual states take up
the question, and then not very serl-
ously. But out of mass OF lcglsia-

system was evolved because SO many
men wanted to service voluntarily. But
never during this l25 years has the
obligation OF citizen been lifted'

Seventh Man Dying
Liquid Labelled "Kentucky''
Best" Believed to Have
Been Wood Alcohol

A rare brand of war whiskey.' now
believed to have consisted largely Of
wood alcohol, is credited with the loss
OF the lives Of six men yesterday. A
seventh victim lies at the poitn OF
death at Bellevue Hospital.
Antonio de Alfonso, owner OF a
saloon st 155 Bleecker Street. was
locked up at Headquarters last night
pending further investigation of the
sale Of poisonous liquor. One state
ment he made concerning the manner
in which he obtained the drink wss
denied by the expressman he said de-
lvered i, and the police are investi-
eating other phases Of his explanation.

ing were:

John Collins. address unknown.
All died at St. Vincent's Hospital.
Joseph Maria, who was removed
from his home, at 10 Houston Street,
to Bellevue Hospital. was declared to
be in serious condition. Attending
physicians said there was little doubt
that his condition was due TO the
poisonous "whiskey.'
As soon as enough evidence had
been collected 10 point 10 de Alfonso
saloon Lieutenant Stapleton sent De-
tectiyes Botti and Casetti 10 the place
with instructions 10 arrest the proprie-
tor and close the saloon. The detec-

taken TO headquarteTS. IL was labelled
"Kentuckys Best" and bore the name OF
a New York distributor. De Alfonso
declared he had bought the liquor at
auction and had reflled his bottles
with it.
Ambulances from st. Vincents Hos
pital were Changing back and forth
through the district so frequently, and
so frequently were patients found dead
or dying. that the hospital authorities
became alarmed and notified the police
De Alfonso readily acknowledged that
Collins had been in his employ. lie
said Collins had not reported for work
for two days, and he supposed his ab-

THE GOAL

Former Ambassador &c
rard. when speaking before a
vast assembly the other night
said: Il had an audience with
the Kaiser in October, 1913.
At that time he rose, walked
over to me and, putting his
face three inches from mine,
said: Remember, when this
war is over, I'll stand no non
sense from the United States
Just bear that III mind!
That colloquial phrase, often
used by an irate employer to an
erring employe, or an exasperated
parent to an exasperating child, de
fines the German Emperor's atti-
tude more clearly than his theatri-

s LEG
AND ARM BROKEN
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

William Harms, AZ years of age,
fisherman, was struck and seriously
injured, at 2:25 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. at the intersection of Pal
afox and Cedar street, an auto, owned
and driven by A. v. Hatton, of 90
East Gregory street, striking the VIC
tim. His right leg was broken, and
it was stated last evening that his
arm was also fractured, although this
was not ascertained definitely.
Mr.. Hatton Immediately instructed
that the victim be conveyed to the
hospital, and he was hurried there
for treatment Harms was first
taken to the city Jail, where the
wounds were examined by the city
physician, and thence he was con.
veyed to the hospital, the recently
purchased auto patrol ambulance at
tachment having been used in this
instance for the first time.
There were several witnesses to
the accident. They informed the po-
lice that Harms, who a few moments
before had been released from the
city Jail by the payment of a small
fine for being intoxicated, stepped
into the street after Hatton had
warned pedestrians of the approach
of the car. Either the fisherman did
not see the car, or did not hear the
warning, as witnesses stated that he
stepped deliberately in front of the
approaching auto and suffered as
stated.

COLD WAVE SIGNAL
BE HO|STED TO-DAY
THROUGHOUT SOUTH

Indications are that a cold wave
almost as severe as has been felt in
the south this winter, will prevail
during the next day or two. North
west wind signals were hoisted here
yesterday, remaining flying the en-
tire day. Last night the flag signals
were succeeded by the red and white
lights.
The most severe weather of the
winter is being experienced in the
northwest, and the temperatures
have fallen to considerably below the
zero point.
Should this forecast prove correct
1T will mean almost freezing temper
atures here.
