new LIGHT ON POISON
French Courts May Reverse De-
ciSicn of 43 Years Ago.
Chemist conVfcted of Numbering Wife
by Administering Arsenic Asks for
Reh caring of Case

PariS.-MOdern scientific research
with regard To arsenical poison may
cause the french courts to reverse a
life sentence passed 43 years ago on
d chemist named Danval. who was
found guilty Of having murdered his
wife.
Danval, who. owing 10 press agita-
ton, was released 10 years ago, has
now filed a petition asking for per-
mission To bring his case before the
supreme court of appeal. The Dan
val case was one OF the most famous
poison trials i'm the annals of French
criminal law. In 1877 NJ. Danval was
prosperous chemist with an estab-
lishment in the Rue Mauberg. Ac-
cused of having poisoned his wife. he
was brought to trial before the Seine
asSize court, and on May 10. 1878. CON
demned TO deportation for life
Famous experts appeared both for
the prosecution and the defense. and
the whole of medical Jurisprudence
concerning the qualities of arsenic. as
they were then known, was argued
before the court for many days. The
government experts found traces of
arsenic in Nine. Danva's body which
would amount to one miIIigram
(.0l549 grain). This, it was argued
proved that arsenic had been admin
iStered with criminal intent. A tOxi-
cOlOgist for the defense. however.
maintained that one millgram was a
perfectly normal amount of arsenic TO
find in the human body. Ii was point
ed out that the green curtains sur
rounding Nine Danval's bed had been
cOlOred with an arSenical dye and con
tanned an ounce of pure arsenic
VI. Danval was sent 10 the penal
settlement of New Caledonia. He was
living there. comparatively free. With
his family. when, i'm 1902. the order
came for his release
The French government toXicologist
has just issued a new textbook for
consultation at criminal trials i'm
which it is declared that the presence
of 50 small a quantity as one milli-
gram of arsenic In the human body is
negligible and ought not 10 be taken
as discriminating evidence In charge
of murder
1t is on this new ruling that NJ.
Danval appeals.

Veteran Net Stars Play Su- perb Tennis to Defeat Younger Opponents in Dou- bIeS Match

Warren and Bartlett won the state doubles championship yesterday aft ernoon at the Country club, when they defeated Lange and Brookes in one of the prettiest tennis matches ever seen here, by score of 7-5, 3-e, 6-3. Lange and Brookes have been playing good tennis all this year, and played it yesterday, but they were unable to do anything against the remarkable performance of War ren and Bartlett. Warren and Bart lett held the doubles crown several years ago, and ever since they they have been trying to regain it. Their efforts in getting the title back yes terday gave the fans who watched the matches the best tennis that has been seen around here in years.
 Lange and Brookes lost because they were completely unable to break through the defense of the victors. Warren and Bartlett were driving with almost incredible power In their strokes and when Lange and Brookes forced them to the net they gave a mighty clever exhibition of closeup work
 The singles matches were rained out but Worthington and Brookes had started their match before the shower came and Warrington was making a great showing against

Dry Law Objectionable,
 Declares EpiScopalian
 Bishop at Salt Lake
Rv Associatrd A Press

Salt Lake City, September ITO me the writing into the constitution of the Eighteenth amendment was unpardonable," said the Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, Episcopal bishop of Tennessee, on the eve of he fourth synod of the province of the Pacific of the Episcopal church, which opens today.
 q take no part in politics; I am neither republican nor dem ocrat in such questions declared Bishop Gailor, but politicians of both par lies have played politics with the good name and the conscience of this country. Whatever in the League of Nations was repugnant could have been written out, but to refuse to countenance any measure for uni versal peace was nothing but a de- nial of every principle for which this country went to war.
 As to prohibition that is deit- cate question, but l have always as serted my belief. and have never evaded question. The saloons were going: the church was making headway against what evil there was in liquor. To my mind. it was nothing short of hysteria that put over a restriction which could not hope to suppress that evil"

Pershing, Peeued,
 Says Labor Alone
 Did Not Win War
By Associated Press

Washington, September 7.-General Pershing and Samuel Gompers had a tilt last night at a dinner given here celebrating LaFayette- Marne Day. At least official Washington regards it as clash over the ques ton of whether tabor won the war.
 Mir. Gompers had spoken on the aft er-dinner programme and while he made no claim that labor won the war, he did tell of the record of the American Federation of Labor during the war, and declared that previous to the entry of the United States its sympathy was with the cause of he allies.
 General Pershng, however, ap- parently regarded Mir. Gompers re- marks as claim that labor had wen the war. Some of those who heard his remarks, quote him as having said substantially:
 Policies Not Determined By Unions
 The policies of this republic are not determined by labor unions, or by any other organizations, but ty the consensus of opinion of its pat riotic citizens of whatever affilia- tions.
 WdHl to say llldl every AiltiI can Is a patriot whether he belongs to some labor organization or is just an ordinary citizen and that it isn't question of labor unions; it ism [ question of any organization; it isn't a question of whether we be- long to some association, or not.
 Patriots Won War
 Tt is a question of whether we are loyal citizens of the United States. I am here to say to you that the members of the labor unions weren't the only ones who won the war. It was the citizens who ln- herited their patriotism from their forefathers, who came across in the Mayflower and helped determine and decide the independence of America as well%as those who have adopted American institutions as their own. It seems to be about time for us to rise and say that America shall be ruled and governed by American cit izens and not by organizations which have their own selfish purposes to serve."
 The incident, however. did not de- velop into a debate and ended wich General Pershing's speech.

AMERICA WON'T GIVE
 PERMITS TO THIRSTY
 CANADIAN VISITORS
By Associated Press

Washington, September 7.-Amer- jeans visiting Quebec probably will have to take their chances on ob- taining liquoE without assistance from this government. Internal Rev enue Commissioner Blair said today in commenting on the action of the Quebec liquor commission in requir- ing American citizens to obtain per mits from their government to pur- chase intoxicants, except in small quantities, in the Canadian province.
 Mr Blair said that he had received no official advices of the Candadian commissions action, but that he did not believe American authorities would install machinery to handle applications for permits to purchase alcoholic intoxicants in. Quebec, as the prohibition officers would prob ably be swamped, and they have now all the work they can handle.

Coal Is Cheaper But
 Unequal Production
 Keeps Fuel Unstable
By Associated Press

Knoxville, Tenn. September 7- Coal can be bought at the mines cheaper today than at any time since the signing of the armistice in 1918, but not until the consuming public recognizes it's obligations and adopts the plan affording equal monthly production and distribution will the fuel situation become stable and satisfactory both in production and price" says J. k. Mccoy, secretary of the Southern Appalachian Coal Op- orators association in his current re- port.
 The report shows an alarming de- crease in production, only IF of the 212 mines in Tennessee and south eastern Kentucky having loaded coal during August and many of these did not operate more than few days.
