IrisOnment as accompliccs, provid-
ing the district attorney desires to
press the charges.
The Quartctte Of anglers return
ed last night from Morena, with
u flock OF stories and some fish to
prove them, but the claims of each
rs to who caught the fish, has
developed \ tangle that requires
the services of a Philadelphia law
yer to strai9hten out. Judge Conk-
ling was in ;..e Press office bright
and early this morning, with his
story of having caught fish by the
Sackfui so many in fact. that he
had to hrow a lot of them back in
the lake. Later at the jail George
Evans claimed he was worn out
from hauling in the fish he caught
and contcnded that Charlie Nice
had worked harder than anybody,
with more expensive tackle as well,
and g., three bites for his trouble.
Fish On Each Hook
Robbins fishing with the district
attorneys pole. used two hooks,
according to reports, and caught a
fish on each hook, requiring the
assistance of the other members
of the party to help him land them.
They landed the fish, and the fish
landed the pole, is the simplest way
of explaining the story of what
happened. AS to the number of
fish he caught, Robbins claims he
wore the pole out and that the
story of breaking the pole is a
slander and was framed up by the
others. Charlie Nice was not given
an opportunity to tell his side of
the story for it wculd be 10 use,
anyhow.
In the opinion of officials at the
courthouse, all that was needed to
round out the party was the pres
ence of Cal Mousseau, who has the
seasons honors for fishing stories
safely slowed awav.

LOS ANGELES, June 1S.-The
Officers of A. w. Coote and Co.,
large Pacific coast stock brokers,
and western representative of
Knauth, Nachod and Kuhne, were
closed today following the filing of
an involuntary petition in bankrup-
tcy by creditors. The petition has
been made for receivership to take
charge of the business pending
bankruptcy hearing.
Officials could not estimate the
extent of the failure this morning,
saying the Knauth, Nachod and
Kuhne failure had fallen on them
out of clear sky and they had no
time to check up. Street rumors,
however, placed Coote = losses at Il
half million dollars.
A. W. Coote, president of the
firm, said he believed it would be
possible to make financial arrange
ments at an early date which will
enable him to settle with all credi-
tors in full.
The firm has twelve offices, in
cluding Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Seattle, Portland, Denver and Chi

Warns Against
G0LUGnized Iron
Cooking Utensils

Do not allow food or drink to stand
for even a short time in a galvanized
iron vessel and do not use such a uten-
sill in making preserves or jellies or as
a container for cider or other fruit
juices, is a warning issued by officials
of the bureau of chemistry, United
States department Of agriculture. Some
of the zinc with which the bucket or
utensil is galvanized probably will be
dissolved and will not only give the
food an unpleasant taste but is very
apt to cause sudden and intense III
ness.
A recent instance of poisoning ap-
parently resulted from the presence of
zinc in food. Twelve men at the Guam
naval station each drank a bottle of
root beer and Immediately began vom-
iting. Chemical examination of the
contents of three bottles transmitted
to the bureau of chemistry for analy-
sis disclosed the presence of substan-
tial quantities of a salt of zinc in each
bottle. 1t is the opinion of the Off
cials that even one-half the contents
of one of the bottles would have caused
vomiting. The sale of bottles from
this shipment has, of course, been
stopped and an investigation started to
definitely locate the source of the con
tamination with zinc.
Experiments carried on by federal
chemists with quantities of lemonade.
orangeade, milk, carbonated water,
Washington City tap water and dis
titled water held e night in galvan-
lied iron buckets proved that zinc con
tamination occurred in each case. The
officials, therefore, warn against the
use of such utensils as containers for
food or drink.

In Argentina the farmers daughters
receive instruction in household duties
at temporary farm home schools. The
teachers go to the district where they
wish to locate the school. select a
building, enroll the pupils and then en-
list the cooperation of interested au-
thorities and citizens In establishing a
school. When these preparations have
been made the board of agriculture
sends the teachers farm and home
equipment for use in giving the in
struction. In some of the schools they
improyise a dormitory where the girls
live who are too far away to go back
and forth from home. These schools
usually last two months. The girls are
taught gardening. sewing, d~airying.
cooking, hygiene, first aid and many
other subjects of interest.

In France they have ~itinerant

Successful poultry business requires
less capital than any type of farming
and quick returns make the industry
attractive to those of limited means
who require an outdoor livelihood. II
has been stated by Professor j. f
Dougherty of the University of Cali
fornia.
Poultry farms can be- successfully
operated in two acres or more. many
fve-acre farms accommodating from
1000 to 5000 adult fowls and providing
sufficient land for the growing OF
green feed and young stock to main

Delphine M Johnson, supervisor of
women in industry for the department
of labor and industries. While the
minimum wage fixed by law is 1920
per week for industrial plants, very
few of the employers in the state hold
to this level and most of them pay
well over it, the average wage being
