Manufacturers Now Using
 Apples to the Last Seed

The thoroughness with which the apple is now worked over and util- ized by some manufacturers makes it comparable with the packing house pig that leaves only futile squeal. The apple is not transformed into such a variety of products as the pig, but all are uesful, and when the last of the series has been made hardly smell is left.
 In many of the apple-using fac tories the apples are first pressed to produce cider, which may be sold as such or may be manufactured into vinegar After thorough pressing the pomace is treated with hot water to remove the pectin, which, after purifcation, is sold in either liquid or solid form to manufacturers of jellies and similar products and to The much-wasted and residue is dried, ground, and sold as cattle feed.

ARM|NG MERCHANT
SHIPS next PROBLEM
ARMS CONFERENCE

Washington, Jan. S.-(By 4. P)-
AS The arms conference prepares to
begin discussion Of the final draft Of
the nve-power naval treaty, some IF
the delegates are making particular
study Of arm:ns merchant vessels as
il may relate to the limitation agree
ment.
In no quarter is there apparent a
disposition to raise an issue which
point in the negotiations, but among
the foreign delegations it is predicted
privately that the armed ship problem
will be one of the most difficult of the
collateral questions to arise when the
final draft is examined, section by
section, for approval.
The Italians, Japanese and French
all are said to feel that if merchant
men arc to be permitted to arm as in
past wars. the effect might be rot only
TO yitiate the project to limit individual
auxiliary warships to 10000 tens each
but it might also result in great
disadvantage to the nations which have
small merchant fleets.
Beyond saying that the status oe a
merchant ship in future is to be the
status we'll understood in interra tiona,
law, the American and British dele
gates arc not willing to discuss tine
subject. 1t is the view in some quar-
tiers. however. that the British may
themselves bring the point up for dis
cussion before the treaty finally is an
proved.
The subcommittee draft OF the III
strument was virtually complete to-
night after a six-hour Sunday session
; OF the naval experts. and the full ma
val committee probably will begin It's
discussion OF detail and phrlseology
tomorrow or Tuesday. A plenary ses-
sion of the conference to make the
treaty public probably will follow be-
7 fore the end of the week. and then the
delegates will turn their full atten-
| ton to final attack on unsettled
questions of the Far East.
Meantime the Shantung controversy
remains in deadlock, but hope of an
agreement during the week was ex-
pressed tonight in American quarters.
. The mediation of Secretary Hughes
and Arthur j. Balfour is looked upon
! by the Americans and British as al
most certain to bring the two groups
, tOSc tHer. although this OptjmiSn, ,
not shared by all Of the Chine Sc and
| Japanese delegates.

Shantung problem has brought to q

move toward party solidarity and an
effort to find ways and means of in
creasing the efficiency of the republic
can party in campaigns. it was learn
cd today, was the two-fold purpose
of the White House dinner Saturda Y
night which brought together Presi-
dent and a number of representative
republican leaders.
Protracted consideration was given
during the after dinner which lasted
until mid-night, to the position of
the party on present domestic issues
with the result that decision was
practically reached on what was de-
clared as two matters of first import
ance. Early enactment OF a soldier
bonus bill. and early assembling Of
a republican senate conference to rec
cncilc any difference which may be
found to exist in party councils over
the form to be given legislation for
refunding allied debts.
The two subjects We're inter-co on
nected in the discussions, Since the
possible income Of the debts. it was
fairly generally agreed. stood out as
the best chance of recouping bonus
expenditure. with a sales tax suggest
ed as the only alternative.
Two members of the cabinet, Sec
: rotary Weeks and Attorney General

publican national committee. Sena-

Saunders of, Indiana. Chiefly the
discussion bore on the legislative sit
uation in the senate, where 1t was
agreed that the three most important
measures aside from the routine OF
appropriations, the ,ariff, the bonus
and refunding proposals needsd
agreement and adjustment to force
them through, blockadcs which they
are now facing.
AS result of last nights discus
sions, senate leaders had today an
outline Of a program for the senate
which indicated that after disposinG
of the Newberry contest and the pro-
posed amendment to the federal re-
serve act action first would be
sought on the foreign debt refunding
measure. The soldier bonus bill was
slated as next in line. with provisions
for payment dependent largely by the
final form of the debt funding leSis-
lation. Republican party conferences
on each Of these questions are sChcd-
uled for the near future, it was I'M

Following the bonus bill, s.nat"is

ELDERS GET DOSE
VARNISH in PLACE.
SACRAMENTAL WINE

Grand Rapids, Mica. Jan. s.
eight elders Of the Seventh Re-
formed church here were poisoned
at the morning service today
when they drank varnish that had
been poured into communion cup
in the belief it was sacramento
wine. Two Of the elders were
said to be in a critical condition.
The church had been repaired
and in the storeroom where the
oacramentai wine is kept in a jug,
several> jugs of varnish used in
redeccrat.no had been stored.
One of the officials Of the church
is ,aid to have mistaken the var
nish for wine when he filled the
communion cup during the church
services.
The eight elders Of the church
were the first to drink the COM
munion wine. As the cup was
being passed to other members Of
the congregation the elders were
seen to fall to the floor. Many of
the church members became PAN
ic- stricken and rushed from the
edifice. A physician was sum-
moned and the stricken men
taken to hospitals or their homes.
The communion cup was passed
to the elders Immediately after
D. Van lummeI, the pastor, had
completed his sermon. Elder John
Reiwold was the first to drink the
poison and the first to fall. The
other elders collapsed in rapid
succession. Little hope was en-
tertained by hospital attendants
for the recovery Of Elders S. Fol-
kerry and n. Torkhurt.
