The only possible chance that the
United States government will can
eel all or part of the debts due her
by Great Britain and other Euro

Immediate steps for huge reductions
in armaments, in Europe's balancing
her budgets, and in the settlement of
the reparations problem on safe
and sane basis.
This sentiment prevails among the
officials of the United States govern
ment and among the members of
Congress, who in the last analysis,
will determine tie American policy
toward European debts because they
hold the Constitutional right to re-
nit the debts if they see fit.
Although high officials of the gov

on their attitude toward the debt
problem, they expressed acquiescence

Who Put Arsenic in Food That Kill
ed Six and Why Is Puzzle Even
To Theorists.

New York. Aug. 5.-The fifth day
of Investigations by the police and
health departments and District At
tOrney Banton's office into the death
of six persons and the illness of about
100 others as a result of eating lunch
con Monday in the Shelburn ReStaur-
ant. ended without appreciable prog
ress. Why and by whom the food
was poisoned are questions that
only the theorists will attempt to
answer.
District Attorney Banton, who has
examined about II employees of the
restaurant admits he is without clue
and confronts the most battling mys-
terry he has had to contend with. The
Police Department is vaguely rumor-
ed to be trailing suspects, and the
private detective agency employed by
Samuel Drexler and Frank Rosen-
thai owners OF the Shelburn, reported
today mo progress.
The Health Department, by lnSpec-
tionS and chemical analysis, has es-
tabliShed, to its own satisfaction, at
least. this much: First, quantity of
arsenic equivalent to a handful was
placed in the dough from which past
ries were made for Monday consump-
tion; second, the poison was placed IN
the dough between midnight last Sun
day night and the hour at which the
dough was made into pies, etc; third,
the act was malicious, investigation
having shown that no arsenic was In

Child LABOR
Law EXPLAINED
BY THE COURT
Things Necessary Before
Child Under Is Can
Work
MUST GET PERMIT
Law Has Been In Operation Since
June l9 and Affects All Children
Under The Required Age Limit.

Another case of a violation of the
child labor law was called before
Justice r G.. Duvall in the police
court this morning. This was a King
street merchant who was employing
his son in his place of business. The
son is under sixteen years of age and
no permit for him to work had been
taken out.
The law was explained to the mer-
chant and by the court and the case
dismissed. Justice Duvall said that IN
connection with the child labor law
four things are necessary before any
child under sixteen years OF age can
be employed.
No child under sixteen years OF age
can work more than SIX days week
or more than forty-eight hours dur
ing that period, nor can they work
before Z a. m, or later than D p. M
No child under sixteen years OF
age shall be employed without nav
ing obtained the required certlfI-
cate from the superintendent Of
schools.
The first thing necessary to be
done is for the person who is going
10 employ a child to file notice to
that effect, giving the age of the
child and the occupation it will be
employed in; second, the child must
then appear before the city health de-
partment and obtain a medical GER
tifcate, setting forth that it is ply
sically fit TO work; third record OF
the child's age from baptismal records
or record of bureau of vital stistics
must be obtained and presented, and
fourth the superintendent of schools
will then issue the required certlfi-
cate, but only upon the presentation
Of the proper papers.
Because of the fact that the new
law only became effective June ~
last comparatively few are familiar
with its provisions.

HUSHED PHONES
ARE TRIBUTE TO
their INVENTOR
Body of DIR. Alexander
Graham Bell Is Laid
To Rest
TWEED SUIT SHROUD
Casket & Pine Borne on Shoulders of
WOrkmen AS Country Bows In
Grief.

Baddeck, N. s., Aug. 5.-All the
villagers of Baddeck trudged to the
ueak of Benin Bhreagh Mountain yes
terday evening, and stood in rever-
enee at sunset while the body of DR..
Alexander Graham Bell was laid ten
derly to rest after a life of rs years
in which he gave to the world the
telephone and other inventions.
Over his tomb, blasted from rock
that looked down on all of Eastern
Nova Scotia and the beautiful Bras
dor lakes, stood the watch tower
built years ago by the inventor. Be-
low the quiet woodland and the serene
lakes, on whose waters DIR. Bell eX-
perimented with speed boats and fast
water sleds.
The lakes were still and all the
craft that sail upon their waters stood
motionless at the funeral hour. In
the village every shop and store was
closed and each home had sent its
occupants to the mountain-top. No
one was left in the laboratories and
workshops where DR.. Bell and his
helpers busted themselves in summer
time. Everyone had gone to give re-
spect at the burial of the venerable
scientist from another land whom all
the natives loved.
First there were short services at
the hillside homestead, attended only
by those who had been very close to
DR.. Bell at work or play. When these
were ended, brOnzed workmen en-
ployed on the estate lifted to their
shoulders the casket which had been
built in DIR. Bells workshops out Of
rugged pine and carried 1t to his
coach, which led the cOrtege up to
the very highest tip Of the = noun
tain. .r,a.t,. T .'
There, his six-foot frame silhouet-
ted against the twilight sky, stood
the village parson, the Rev. John
Mackinnon, of the Greenwood Presby
terian Church Of Beddeck, Clustered
about him down the slopes Of the
mountain were the Nova Sc0tians and
a few who had come from the United
States for the burial, one of them, DR..
Bells sisterAin- law, resident of
Washington. ,-.,
Friends of the inyentor recited one
of his favorites - Longfellow's
psalm of Life ....
Tell me, not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream,
Then the ninetieth Psalm
The days of our years are three
score years and ten; and if by rea-
son of strength they be four-score
years, yet is their strength labor
and sorrow; for it is soon cut off,
and we fly away.
And finally the first stanza of the
Requiem" of Robert Louis Steven
son .r.t
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Glad did / live, and gladly die
And laid me down with will.
Then as the day departed and the
night came on the body was entonb-
ed in the rock.
For moment during the service
all of the 100000 telephones in the
United States and Canada were silent
