DRINK SELVES TO DEATH
Eight Deaths in Moscow District In a Week As Result of Legalized 40 Per Cent Vodka.
Per Gent Vodka,

Moscow, Oct. 10 Pl-Eight deaths in the Moscow district this week arc attributed to excessive indulgence in the newly-legalized 40 per cent vod- ka, and a movement against the new law has already been started in some quarters.
 Commissioner of Health Semashko in an article in the Workmen's Ga zette admonishes the laboring classes to adopt more moderate habits in their consumption of the national drink. The fact that the govern ment permits 40 per cent vodka, he said, does not mean that the people should be encouraged to its use. It was only allowed to put stop l. to the improvident use of rye and wheat in making illicit spirits at home. Furthermore. Dr. Semashko points out. there were many cases | in which blindness or dangerous or ganic weaknesses had resulted from excessive drinking of the homo made substitutes.

 Both mother and daughter are de- sirous of remaining in the country and great pressure has been brought to bear on immigration officials in order that they be permitted to do so. especially since they represent i the highest type of immigrant.

 When he did not hear from the commissioner. MT. O'Brien this morning attempted to reach him again by telephone. but failed. The local director then asked that he be permitted to speak with some one else who might be able to act in the matter.
 He was connected with the su.
 perintendent of immigration and
 that official told him that 1t would
 be necessary for the women to fill our certain forms before their ap' plication for an extension can bC at all considered. He said that the blanks would be forwarded to Mr O'Brien's office at once.
 Realizing that this red tape would hold ID everything until after mex
 Wednesday, the last day of the visit ing period. MT. O'Brien said thi - morning that tho next move was Ill 10 the immigration office and tha tho women could not be held crimi nally liable for overstaying thei leave should the forms not arriv in time for action before Wednes day. The superintendent whei speaking to Mir. o'Brien this morn ing said that he was almost certail , the women would be permitted th X six months stay in New Britain.
