WIZ Take Bills
From City Poles

Police were ordered to remove all
bills and advertising signs from tele-
graph, telephone, electric light and
street lamp posts on city property by
the board of public safety today.
THE signs drop off and litter up
the streets. Besides it makes the town
look bad to have the poles, particu-
larly the ornamental street lamp
standards, cluttered up with gaudy
posters, explained Mayor Shank.
"Cadle Tabernacle Is one Of the worst
offenders" he said.

Because a citizen of Woodruff
Place wrote a sarcastic letter to PO-
lice Chief Rikhoff, his fellow towns
men are likely to start paying for city
fire protection. A movement to annex
the town also may follow.
Mayor Shank today gave lnstruc-
tons to the city legal department to
sue the town of Woodruff Place If
necessary to make it pay for runs

The town has no fire department.

Lausanne, Dec. 19 (By the Associat- ed Press)-It was reported this aft ernoon that complete draft of the peace treaty drawn up as result of the deliberations of the Near East conference here would be presented to the Turks on Saturday.
 Today's session of the conference body dealing with the question Of the straits was adjourned at o'clock until tomorrow without an agreement having been reached.
 The Turkish delegates were concil- iatory during the discussions but the Russian representatives maintained an attitude of opposition.
 Lord Curzon announced that the discussions were dragging on toe lengthily and that tomorrows meet. ing must be the last for consideration of the straits problems.
 Foreign Minister Tchitcherin ot Russia made an effort during the de. bate to draw fire from the American delegation. He argued that the Am. erican statement as to the attitude oi the United States on the question ot the straits should be interpreted as te mean that. only warships on errands of mercy could go through the strait: to the Black Sea. The American rep. resentatives did not reply to tho soviet minister.

Poison Fiend IS at!arge;
 Household Pets

Owners of dogs and cats in the
 northern section Of the city are
 stirred up over a systematic polson- ing of their pets within tho past five or six weeks, by some person or per
 sons unknown to them. Since Novem Der l, from 12 to 15 dogs and eight or 10 cats have been poisoned in the section north of the railorad tracks, many of which have died.
 While none of the dogs have been highly pedigreed animals. or the cats either, so far as could be ascertained they have been valuable as pets the list including several collies, sotters, etc, and one high priced hunting dog. According to Dr. B. D. Radcliffe, veterinarian, who has been called in to treat most cases, the poison used is a slow acting drug, with many in- dications of being bichloride of mer- cury. In a few cases, he says. he has seen traces of arsenic. In all cases he says, 1t has been a slow acting poison, and is fed probably through scraps of meat thrown around.
 In all cases the poison has been
 fatal unless treatment has been given quickly. No particular street is se- lected, but the epidemic of poisoning
 is said to extend all over the northern
 section of the city.
 In discussing the case this morning Dr. Radcliffe said 1t was difficult to trace the person or persons who are guilty of the offense because of the
 many chemicals used in local fac tories. ''I may be mistaken" he
 said, but believe employees work ing on plating processes and other cases where chemicals as cyanide
 copper sulphate, etc., are used, car obtain these drugs too easily One man could carry enough of that stuff in his pocket to kill the whole town, No complaints have been made tc the police department, but number of people who have lost their pet,
 have threatened to ask the police de. pertinent to investigate. Wher asked if the owners of the animals 1 had ever thought of contributing te ] a fund towards offering reward fol evidence enough to convict the per. son poisoning the animals, Dr, Ral cliffe said he had not heard of any but thought it might be good sug- gestion.

DAUGHERTY CASE IS
 PROCEEDING SLOWLY
Keller, Chief Prosecutor, Remains AEay--Others Seem Indifferent
WOODRUFF IS SATISFIED
Michigan Representative Believes At torney General is Now Prosecuting War Fraud Cases as Fast. ss is Possible.

Washington, Dec. 18.--In the ap- sence of the principal prosecutor, Representative Keller. republican. Minnesota, hearings before the house judiciary committee on impeach- ments charges against Attorney Gen eral Daugherty moved forward today at a slow pace.
 Representatives Woodruff of Mich gan and Johnson of South Dakota, re- publicans. were before the committee by invitation of Chairman Volstead, but MT. Johnson said his charges in the houses last April regarding war frauds were directed solely at the war department, and MT. Woodruff was not ready to proceed.
 Is Not Decided.
 The Michigan members said some of the charges he might present would be of an impeachable char acter, but added that he could not form a definite opinion until he had examined certain documents at the department of jusice. Both Mr. John- son and MT. Woodruff said there had been a decided change in the situ- ation since last April. when the latter charged the attorney general with a failure to prosecute war fraud cases.
 MT. Woodruff said action had been begun in six of the eight or nine .in- stances he had mentioned. while MT. Johnson voiced the belief that con sidering the amount of reorganization necessary in the department and the mass of information that had to be
 
 general shad moved with reasonable promptness in the war fraud cases.
 Had Been Shadowed.
 Questioned about reports that he had been shadowed by operatives of the department of justice, Represen- tative Woodruff told the committed he had not intended to go into that but that he had reason to believe that not only had he been "shad- owed" but that his mail had been 'interfered with" and his officeeenter- ed and documents removed"
 Whether I was 'shadowed by one or 1000 operatives was matter of the utmost indifference to me-" said he. T had nothing to conceal and had they desired to read my mail would have left it open for them"
 Responding to further inquiries MT. Woodruff said the only evidence he had to support his belief was of g circumstantial nature and that ht would not care to state it.
 Mr. Johnson questioned about tht same reports said he had heard oi them but had given Mir. Daugherty and w. J. Burns, director of the bu' reau of investigation. credit for "tot much horse sense" to shadow mem. bers of congress.
