PROBE DEATHS
FROM ALCOHOL
Army Begins Inquiry Into Tragic
End OF 8 Arsenal Workers
After Drinking Bout.

Brig. Gen. Amos 8. Fries. head of
the chemical warfare department OF
tAs Ordnance Bureau. has ordered =
sweeping investigation OF the circum-
stances surrounding the death OF nine
mon at the Edgewood. Nd, Arsenal.
as . result of drinking a liquid con
tanning a large amount OF wood al
cohol on Monday night
According tC statement made by
General Fries today. full report OF
the investigation is expected to be re-
ceived by the War Department this
Afternoon. and it's contents Will be
made public Immediately upon its ar
rival.
The first real clue as to where the
men obtained the liquid was given TO
the army officials at the arsenal by
q Washington man. He Is Vernon
Pettis, who said he lived in a board
ing house in this city, and who is
now in the arsenal hospital with
three other men, suffering from the
poisonous effect of liquid, some of
which they drank.
LIQUOR FROM BALTIMORE.
Pettis declares that Joseph e. Nc
Cuen, of Alexandria, Va, who Is one
OF the men who died as result OF
drinking the deadly liquid, had given
him a drink out of pint bottle he
had brought back to the arsenal. Pet
tbs said that all of the men who died
and those now sick drank from the
same bottle, which, 1t is thought, he
purchased in Baltimore, or at the
races at Timonium on Monday. The
authorities said they had received
positive information that McCuen and
william +. Meyers, of Baltimore, an
other of the dead men. had visited the
races at Timonium on Monday.
Agents of the Department of JUS
tice are also making an investigation
as to whether or not the men had OBJ
tanned a quantity of wood alcohol
kept at the arsenal for cleaning ma
chinery and drank it. According to
army officials, two tanks containing
about 10000 gallons of the LIQUID are
kept in the arsenal some of which
was grain alcohol. 1t is possible that
the men may have mistaken the wood
alcohol for the grain alcohol tank,
which resulted in their deaths.
General Fries stated that the men
probably obtained the liquor outside
of the arsenal, as two bottles contain
ing small amounts of the liquid were
found in the room in which, 1t is al
legged that the men held party on
Monday night A chemical eXamina-
ton of the contents of the pint bottle
showed that it contained mostly wood
alcohol, while the other bottle con-
ta1ned a "home brew" made up of
vinegar, evaporated peaches, yeast
and a quantity of wood alcohol
The coroner's jury of Edgewood
found that the deaths were due to
wood alcohol poisoning.
Hospital authorities at the Arsenal
stated this morning that the four men
who are there suffering from the
poison were holding their own, and
had a good chance for recovery.
