FIVE NEAR
DEATH FROM
EATING FUNGUS
Out of Food They Consume
Poisonous Matter to
Appease Hunger

Detroit, Mich, Sept. PA family
Of fve-father, mother and three
children, one of the latter a blind
boy, was in the municipal hospital
today near death from the effects Of
eating poisonous fungus, which was
served by the mother, police declared,
when the supply of food and funds
gave out.
Misfortunes for che family began
when the father, Albert Moskl,
brought the family here from Poland,
six years ago.
Boskl's health failed and his saw
ings soon were exhausted. For the
past three year; he had been un-
able to work except at odd jobs and
inability to pay his rent led to evic-
tion of the family few weeks ago.
A payment of SIS had been made on
a suburban lot and the family went
to this and built shack which was
to be home.
Yesterday the food supply dwin-
died to small quantity of bread and
and a can of lard and there was no
money. The children found some
toad stools they believed we're mush-
rooms and their mother baked them
believing them edible. Police found
the poison victims several hours lat
er.
The children are Rose II, Adam S,
and Stanley 2.
Hospital attaches said recovery of
all five was doubtful owing to their
weakened condition through lack of
food.

Bronson, hearing a commotion in
the vicinity of the oil station,
which is at the end of second street
northeast, were standing on the op-
posite side Of the street when the
men came out Of the alley. They
commanded the fleeing men to halt
and received as an answer fusilade
Of bullets, all of which went wide
Of their mark. They retaliated with
several shots and the party split
up, two Of the men running south
and the other two lodging back in
to the alley.
Authorities today were attempting
to ascertain the identity Of the per-
son who drove an Automobile up to
the filling station at the time the
robbers we're working in the Office,
and who was greeted with several
shots from the guns Of the yeggs.

FIRE DESTROYS
ENGINE HOUSE
Building on E. G. Patterson
Farm Is Burned

A lantern which overturned while
George Dunt, dairyman on the E. G.
Patterson farm east Of the city, was
working in the engine house caused
fire which destroyed the built
and threatened to spread to other
buildings, about o'clock last night.
The city fire department was called
and chemical was thrown on the fire,
to prevent explosion of 100 gallons
of gasoline which was under the
ground below the engine house. Had
this become ignited and exploded it
is probable the barn would have been
burned. The light wind blowing also
was favorable.
Mr.. Patterson said the loss pro-
baby would exceed $500, the build
ing being insured but not the con-
tents. The loss included destruc-
tion Of three gasoline engines,
threshing machine betting, pump,
and other materials. He expressed
thanks to the city fremen for re-
spending and smothering the fire so
as to prevent an exploson Of gaso
line or destruction of other build
ings. Mr.. Dunt was burned about
the face.
The fire department yesterday aft
ernoon responded to call to the
Presbyterian church. The alarm,
which firemen said was received as
from this church, was sent by some
person for the Methodist church. A
fire was started in the furnace there,
smoked somewhat and caused alarm,
but there was no danger of fire in
the church, Rev. Halfyard said.

for society and for civilization for
peace and fairncj;s; for liberty and
protection with firmness and if neces-
sary with force"

ernment to compel the railroads to

Of ten years, according to deci-
sion handed down today by the

the filing of information is suffi.

precedent in the state, makes possi-
BILE speedy action by the courts, es.

Investigators Indicate That
They Have Definite Theory
That Points to a Certain
!. Individual

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 22.-
The mystery of who killed the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall, rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of St.
John the Evangelist and his choir
leader, Mrs. Eleanor Reinhart Mills,
wife of the church sexton, seemed
as far from solution today as it was
nearly a week ago when the bodies
were found.
Authorities turned to questioning
the individual members of the little
church, indicating the Investigators
give some weight to the theory ad-
vanced by Ellis Parker, county de-
tective, that the slain couple may
have been the victims Of person
inspired by religious fanaticism. An
obsession to be censorious of the
conduct Of the clergyman may have
prompted the crime, according to
this theory. II
While the Investigators have in
dicated they have definite theory
and that it points to certain in
dividual they have been slow to
make their conclusions public until
they complete the inquiry, Both
Mills and Mrs. Hall are vigorous in
declaring they do not believe stories
of improper relations between the
pair. The widow of the slain rec
tor is said to believe her husband
and Mrs. Mills were killed as re-
suit of mistaken identity She has
also felt that robbery prompted the
crime.
Authorities investigating the Staying
Of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhart Mills, his
choir leader. turned again to James
Mills, husband of the dead woman,
in their efforts to solve the mystery
which six days of probing has only
served to deepen
Mills was re-examined at length
but authoritio; dsclined to indicate
what line the questioning took. 1t
was understood, however, that they

call the name of the woman who he
says told him several months ago
that gossips were linking the names
of Mrs. Mills and Mr.. Hall.
The questioning Of church men,
bers also continued today. The
questioners were ready to follow
lines supporting any one of three
theories.
That the. murders were committed
with jealousy motive
That they were committed by black
mailers who had become des sperate.
That they were committed by some
self-appointed "moral censor" in the
minister's flock.
The only theory which has beel.
advanced that they appeared unwill-
ing to consider seriously was that of
robbery motive. Their firmest
faith. however, is pinned to the jeal-
ously motive.

HOPE FOR PEACE.

! Wy IHc ASSOClaLCO freSS)
London, Sept. 22.-Views of the
Near Eastern crisis here o5cillate
between hope and fear with slight
tendency in favor of the hopeful
side of the balance. Nothing has
happened in the Iast "a hours to
make the position materially worse,
although it continues serious enough.
The immediate peril is in the pos
isibility that the turkish National
ist troops will attack the British po-
sition along the Dardanclles.
1t is confidently hoped that re-
sumption of the conversation of the
Allied statesmen in Paris today will
lead to the sending Of an invitation
to the Angora government, probably
tomorrow, to participate in gem
eral conference to settle the Dar-
danelles question and the Turkish
claims. Until such an invitation has
been sent and acceptance received,
the anxiety must continue.
