Union, S. c., Thursday AT ternoon
POISON DID NOT
CAUSE DEATHS

Arsenical poisoning did not bring
about the death of four members of
the family of Joe Lee of Baldoc, AL
lendale county, judging, from the con-
dition of the stomach and intestines
of the mother of the family, accord
ing to the report submitted yesterday
to Governor Cooper by DR.. C. v. Akin,
representative of the state board of
health, who, in company with DIR. A.
II. Hayden, epidemiologist of the
state health body, went to Baldo.
Tuesday to investigate the deaths
from health standpoint.
Four members of this family have
died and the father is now very ill in
a hospital in Augusta. Three chill
drcn of the family died last week and
the mother passed away last Monday.
The state health department was re-
Quested by physicians and citizens of
the community to send representa-
tives to make an investigation, and
Tuesday DR.. Hayden and DR.. Akin
went to Baldoc. Yesterday morning
DIR. Akin made report on the case
to the governor.
To Examine Internal Organs.
DR.. Aiken said yesterday that the
Internal organs of one of the chill.
d-cn had been sent to Clems on col.
lc"c for examination, and that the
Internal organs of the mother had
been sent to Charleston. If arsenic
in sufficient quantities to cause death
was ingested with food or water, the
examination now being made should
readily detect the presence of the
poison, Dr.. Akin said
A well, located near a stable lot,
furnished the water for the family
DR.. Akin says physicians of the COM
munity said they had examined the
water and found present in it "wiggle
tails" in large numbers and ve~v
much alive. The presence of these
animals in living state was opposed
to the theory of the we'll being poison
ed, DR.. Akin saws. SYMPTOMS de,
scribed by attending physicians also
tend to rule out the poison theory.--

PREMIER BRAND
GIVES HIS VIEWS

/ Washington, Nov. 9.-General prin-
ciples upon which questions at issue
! are to be settled will be laid down in
! the first days of the conference on
limitation of armament and Pacific
and Far Eastern questions, according
to the opinion expressed today by
Premier BRAND of France at a con-
ference with American newspaper
correspondents. He discussed freely
the work of the conference and the
spirit in which he and his associates
in the French delegation will ap
proach it.
"My conception of the first days of
the conference" the premier said, els
that it will lay down the principles
upon which naval armaments, land
arlnaments, and Pacific questions are
to be settled. 1t will be for the con-
ference itself to decide the range Of
discussions but my feeling is that it
will not go beyond the lines / have
indicated and as stipulated in the
agenda, already approved by the par
ticipating governments"
"Will the question of European
debts to the United States me up ?"
he was asked.
Il do not think So" he replied.
"Fcance has no disposition to bring
forward the question and / do not see
that any subject not upon the pro-
gram could be considered without the
consent of all the governments rep
resented"
In discussing the size of the French
army, M. BRAND said: "Our army has
been reduced greatly and is in process
of further reduction. We are going
to the extreme limit consistent with
the security of France, and l may say,
of Europe. We are in the presence of
disorganized Europe. Germany is
disarmed as to artillery and small
weapon, but has 6O,0OO.O0O people and
IN industrial power that could Gre
ate arms and war material with great
rapidity.
We are in the presence of two
volcanoes. On the other side of Ger
many is Sovietic Russia in full erup-
tion. The German volcano is rumb-
ling. The only barrier is Poland.
Should that barrier fall we would
have the two countries in eruption
uniting. We must have sufficient
strength to deal with eventualities
affecting the world. The United States
will understand the, sa.Spiticance Of
that duty because "she has sent so
many men across the ocean, for what
we may call world reasons"
"France comes to the conference"
he continued, "asking for nothing, So
licits nothing and has in the back
ground no thoughts of things to be
obtained for herself. We come rath-
en-" he added, "using q homely ex-
preston of Brittany, with our ears
more widely open than our mouths
We shall listen rather more than talk.
We have our opinions to express and
suggestions to make, but we have no
sort of purpose to ask anything for
france. We will arr nge our affairs
nd all that we would ask at any time
you'd be moral freedom to do So"

Black Death Reaps Toll

Saratov, Russia, Nov. S.-As one
proceeds up the Volga river, the faces
Of the inhabitants grow thinner, their
death lists increase from hunger, ma
laria and cholera and make the trav-
eller involuntarily recall the "black
death" which originated here in the
Middle Ages.
:. Thus far there has been no emigra-
tion from the city of Saratov but there
are $4,000 refugees living in squalor
about it's river front streets. They
have focked in from the country OF
sire waiting. transportation westward
An incident typical of the specula-
ton which takes place amid this
struggle for life occurred at Uvek,
below Saratov, when the man il,
charge of two food cars of the Ameri-
can Relief Administration told the
correspondent that his cars had not
been ferried across the river to the
village of Pugashusk, because the sta
ton master wanted either part of the
food for himself or cash tip.
At this point on the Volga, the first
food-begging began. Barefooted chill
dren who were huddled together on
the lower decks wandered about the
steamer knocking on doors and win
dows and begging bits of bread. An
Italian opera singer going to Samara
played the piano and sang the finale
of the Tosca in the grand saloon until
a crowd collected and then asked for
bread, saying he had had none for
three days.
At a German colonist town of
Baronsk, formerly grain center
where there are dozens of empty
transit graneries, it was said that five
to 10 persons were daily dying Of hun
ger and malaria, and that last years
scanty crop had been requisitioned by
enough for seed grain last summer.
Bread costs 5000 rubles pound here.
At Baronsk also were 10000 peas
ant children whose mothers were un-
able to feed them. The Soviet had
requisitioned the best houses to shelter
them and was serving soup to them
daily.
At the once wealthy town of Volsk
where the smokeless chimneys of the
portland cements works stand on the
bleak, chalk bluffs above the river, the
traveller was met with customary
complaints of no medicines and no
money to buy food. People meeting
the steamer offered their home treas
ures for food or money. There was
signs of pitiful attempts to make use
of the Volga river water during the
rainless summer to irrigate miles of
cabbage patches between the low
water and high water marks.
The market and shops of the town
were closed The only vestige of pre-
war activity was at the cathedral
where services were held as usual and
the vesper bells called to thin-faced
people across the triangular square.
"When will the Americans come 2
