DRINKS VARNlSH FOR WINE
8 Elders Of Church Poisoned When
Mistake Is Made.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-Eight elders
\ : the Seventh Reformed church here
were poisoned at the morning service
when they drank varnish that had
been poured into a communion cup
in the belief it was sacramento wine
Two of the elders were said to be in
critical condition.
The church recently had been re-
paired, and in the room where the
sacramento wine is kept in a jug,
several jugs of varnish used in re-
decorating had been stored. One of
the officials of the church is said to
have mistaken the varnish for wine
when he filled the communion cup
during the church service.

PRESIDENT Harding's refusal to obey
the direction to the executive in the
existing shipping law to terminate ex-
isting commercial treaties. lust as
President Wilson had refused to obey
such direction, has met with generous
COMMUNICATION OF the part "a 1f 4 demo-
Gratis, not one of whom has indulged in
any vltuperation or abuse of him, nor
threatened his impeachment as was
done in the case when President Wilson
refused to carry out those provisions
Of the act.
In speech complimenting President
Harding for following President Will
s6h,s course in this matter, Represen-
tative Ewin L. Davis (Dem:, Tenn.)
said:
IT want again to call attention to
the fact that President Wilson has
been completely vindicated upon this
proposition by the republican president
and, as I before stated, after republi:
can member Of this House went so far
as to declare that he was going to move
the impeac hment of President Wilson
tor the very thing that President Hard
ing has since very properly done.
However, this is only one of many
vinhcations of President Wilson that
have already occurred, and of many,
many more that will occur in the fu-
ture. The fact Of the business is that,
regardless of their prediction charges,
criticisms, and promises, whenever the
present administration honestly gets
the true facts that prompted the pre-
ceding administration, this administra-
ton nearly always pursues the same
course, and whenever it undertakes to
pursue different course it invariably
meets itself coming back " (Ap-
