reflection Of tho intest!nes. This putre-
faction comes chiefly from tho excess
OF proteid elements. or the Imperfect

The proteids are mlinl. .ncat. fish, oys-
tiers. eggs and tho like. Tho auto
toxemia sufferer uld not foreso en-
tirely such proteid foods; but ne should
eat them IN great moderation.

stored in safes protected with burglar
proof lock5. In fact each OF the safes
had two locks. each with Il different Key.
and 1t was necessary 70 open both Of
these before the safe could be opened"
Who held the keys TO these safes:'
asked Sweeney.
Trusted officers Of the company"
was the answer. And no one man had
keys which would open any more than
one lock on any safe. The bags OF gold
were deposited in the Iron boXes--there
Is the u~nimpeachable testimony OF moro
tina a score OF men TO prove that the
boxes were placed In the safes: a dozen

As the transportation OF the gold had

plunged In separat cells.
Then IL was that Sweeney exhibited
the tact and diplomacy which went far
toward making him a great detective.
He visited each of the men and assured
them in q matter -of-fact n that.
while he knew they had been connected
with the robbery. he desired only the
return OF the money and the arrest OF
the man who had planned tho crime. One
Of the guards discIaimed all knowledge
Of the ara!-. the other broke down and
turned Kings Evidence.
Sache, he said. nai Seen the inStintor
OF the entire business. II was Sache
who had secured the keys to h safes.
One OF these-only two were necessary
he had obtained from tho London
in place Of a bookkeeper whom no had
bribed to leave his position. The other
had been duplicated by means Of . wax
impression OF the key kept at plymouth
In this case Sache had picked the pock-
ct OF the official who carried the key,
but had kept II only long enough to
make a wax impression and had re-
placed it before the loss was discovered.
The next step In the conspiracy had
been 10 secure the cooperation OF the
two guards on the luggage van. This
was accomplished a promise Of q share
In the proceeds. and Sache's trips to
plymouth and return were made In order
that he might select the most likely
spots for his accomplices along the
line. This DONE. the rest was simple.
On the night that the gold was ship
ned, Sache boarded the train. carrying
two large grips nlled with bars Of lead
OF approximately the same weight as
the bars Of gold. These bags were nat
urally placed in the luggage van. which
Sach entered shortly after the train left
London. He then opened one OF tho
safes, removed the gold from the Iron
boxes. substituted the lead. placed the
gold in his bags and passed these out to
an accomplish at the irst stop. The &C
complete handed in two other bags filled
with lead bars. and the procedure wah
repeated half a dozen times etwee Lon
don and Plymouth.
As a consequence Of this confession.
Sweeney not only arrested Sache. but
also landed four Of his men and tho
major portion OF tho missing gold. thus
completely clearing up one Of the most
mysterious robberies in the annals OF
Scotland Yard.

HIS FIRST VETO
Bill Turned Down Is One by
Senator Stokes of
Escambia.
(By JOHN c. TRICE)

TALLAHASSEE, May 16.-Governor
Hardee sent his first veto message to
the legislature Monday afternoon. The
bill vetoed was one introduced by Sena-
tor Stokes of Pensacola and provided
that one obligor, where there are several
on an obligation, might be discharged
from liability without affecting the
others. The governor held that this
might work an injustice on the others,
and vetoed the bill on that ground, send
ing brief message on it to the senate.
Senator Stokes had the bill placed on
the order Of third reading and will make
an effort to pass it over the veto.
Senator Taylor had the bill calling for
a state police force recommended to the
committee on prohibition, whence it was
sent out with an unfavorable report
few days ago. Friends of the bill want
to make further efforts in its behalf
Senator Russell of the committee on
state institutions turned in an unfavor-
able report on the Mapoles proposition
to open negotiations with the state of
Alabama to cede the nine counties west
Of the. Aplachicola river to that state.
Mapoles will try to pass it despite the
report.

NEEDS OF NORMAL FAMILY
SHOULD BE BASIS USED IN
ESTABLISHING WAGE SCALE

of management" he quoted the Railroad
Age as estimating that the transporta-
tion industry needed $4,000, 900. 900 to put
1t abreast of the times. 1t would be a
fundamental injustice, he said, If the
board should grant a reduction in the
rates Of pay because of the present fl
nancial embarrassment of the roads.
Mr.. Jewells reply urged that unless the
needs of normal family are used as
the basis for establishing a minimum
wage, the tendency would be to dis
courage marriage or to make necessary
the labor of wives and young children.
or to bring about a steady deterioration
of the health and moral qualities Of
families affected.
Continuing. he declared that there
has been suggested no method of de-
termining what wage to be used as a
basing point is just and reasonable ex-
cept the method of ascertaining what
wage is a living wage, that is sufficient
to maintain the worker and his family
in health decency and efficiency
