LEFT DocToREp BREAD
 AT SUBMARINE BASE.
Federal Authosities Are Conducting a
 Rigid Investigation.

The status of the "doctored" bread delivered Monday at the submarine base by Louis Ernst of the New Eng land bakery remains about as it was Wednesday, and the result of the an- alysis has not been disclosed. How ever, the authorities in charge are willing to acknowledge that there was a foreign and dangerous substance in the bread. which was discovered in time to prevent any serious results.
 While nothing has as yet developed picion on the New England bakery yet the contract for supplying bread for the submarine base has been cfn- celled with this concern and bread is now ordered from another source.
 Several samples of the. bread have been sent to the state laboratory for analysis, and United States Comnais- sioner Frank l.. McGuire said Thurs day that he expects a report very soon.
 Federal Officer Edward J. Hickey has been conducting rigid investiga- tion since Tueed@v rrorDing. The bread in which the substance was found was baked on Saturday. 1t was delivered on Monday.
 ' MT. Hickey said Tuesday afternoon lildI H0 ulQ IlOL UEl1EVG lIlSIS Was any |. thing serious the matter with the bread and that he regarded it as a misapprehension in view of the change in ingredients of the bread due to the new food regulations requiring substi- tuition of material other than rye flour. However, it is now admitted that there was something other than proper ingredients and a substance of such a nature that it could not have. gotten into the bread without the deliberate placing of it there with criminal in- tent. .+-
 The question for the federal autnori- | ties to solve is where the job, was done, | for it is conceded now that such a thing did really occur. . .s Louis Ernst, proprietor of the bak- cry, has been closeted with the federal officers and been closely questioned and he was again .cloeeted Thursday
 with Officer Hickey, during which time | he produced numbed of his baking l implements for examination.
