School i'm Terror as Poison
Attacks Sc; Candy Blamed

Fifty-six children, pupils of Public
School 81, Jersey City. were poisoned
yesterday by candy said to have been
distributed among them as an adver-
tisement for a candy manufacturing
concern. More than twenty of those
affected fell from their seats in vari
ors classes, many becoming insensible
after suffering intense pain.
The first case developed half an hour
after the morning session began. Forty
children in one classroom were thrown
into panic when eight Of their number
collapsed almost simultaneously and
fell writhing and screaming to the
floor. Within few minutes similar
scenes were being enacted in other
classrooms. Terror spread throughout
the building as ambulances arrived
with bells changing and sufferers were
carried out.
Notification was at once sent to the
Department of Health and DIR. Albert

Dismisses ]. l.. Wilmcth and
Executives in Engraving
and Printing Office ''for
the Good of the Service"
Each Division Shaken Tn
Louis A. Hill New Director:
Peacc-Time Basis Restored
After Extended Inquiry

WASHINGTON, March 31.-James L..
Wilmeth, director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and thirty
two. other executives in the. oureau
were removed "for the good Of the
service" tonight by President Harding
through an Executive order. Louis A.
Hill, assistant chief of the division of
engraving, was named as the new di-
rector of the bureau, and All other va
cancies we're also filled.
The Executive order acected execu-
tive heads of every division in the
bureau and the action was taken, it was
explained, as the result of an extended
investigation and in connection with
complete readjustment OF the bureau
to peace time conditions. Mr.. Hill was
sworn in Immediately, went to the bu-
reau and took charge. The new execu-
tive personnel will be in complete
charge tomorrow.
Pension Men Retired
Announcement was made yesterday
Of the dropping of several hundred men
from the pay roll Of the bureau, but it
was stated that this had no connection
with to-night's action. The only eX-
ceptions taken to dismissal in the Ex-
ecutive order we're in cases of per-
sons eligible for retirement for age,
all of whom were retired as OF this
date.
Mr.. Wilmeth for years was chief
clerk of the Treasury and about four
years ago was appointed chief of the
ing Joseph A. Ralph. The bureau is
of 10 1or of In, Of
mel in the executive branch of the
government, employing about six thou
sand persons. 1t operates the greatest
| engraving plant in the world, making
| all the paper money, bonds, certificates
and securities Of the government, as
we'll as the postage stamps.
! Mr.. Hill, who assumed his duties at
! once at the bureau, said that no state
! ment could be made other than that
| nouncement, but added that there
! would be considerable work to do in
reorganizing the bureau on peace
| time basis. He declined to discuss the
| possibility Of any change in policy.
Inventory To Be Made
! 1t is understood that complete in
| ventory Of notes, bonds, plates and
other stock will be taken at once, but
whether this will be done merely as a
matter of course or in connection with
unconfrmed reports of the disappear
ance of some duplicate bonds was not
indicated tonight.

failed to throw any light on the dis
misssl order, saying the action and the
brief announcement Of it's promulga-
tion at the White House would have to
speak for themselves. The changes
however, in bureau circles were re-

declared, the complete elimination of

PARIS, March 31.--Premier Poincare
revealed in the Chamber Of Deputies
day the existence of secret agree
ment between Great Britain and
Frsnce, which holds that if the Rus
sian Bolshevik delegates at the Genoa
economic conference are not willing to
respect the conditions under which
the Allies invited them and give the
necessary guarantees of sinceTity, the
Allies Will not treat with the Bolsheviki
a. all at Genoa. This was brought out
in answer to questions put to the
Premier regarding his Genoa policy.
Poincare said further that France
was in agreement with the Allies that
the Russian claims for damages against
the Allies, to be deducted from the
amount of Russia's pre-war debts
would not be countenanced Chief OF
these claims is for alleged damage
suffered by Russia as tue result OF
Allied intervention in that country in
1919. The Bolsheviki also want to be
reimbursed for Russia's contribution
to the Entente victory over Germany
No Secret Contact With Reds
In reply to Deputy who intimated
that the Premier had been in secret
contact with the Bolsheviki, and pos
sibly had come to some secret under
standing with them, Poincare said the
suggestions were false He said he had
been aware of the presence in Paris
for some time of a representative OF
the Moscow government and, although
many Frenchmen had conferred with
him, the government had repulsed con.
sistently every effort to bring about g
