Wants Fatal Denatur- ants Used Until Such Time as Effective Substitutes" Have Been Found, He Tells Mellon.
Secretary Steadfast in Plan However, But As- sures That Lot of Boot leggers Will Not Be Made Easier Thereby

Washington, Dec. 31 LP--Protest against elimination of poisons as denaturants of industrial alcohol un- til effective substitutes have been found was made to Secretary Mellon today by Wayne B. Wheeler, gener- al counsel of the Anti-Saloon league.
 We are willing to knock out the poisoh," said Wheeler, If you can find substitutes which will really make the alcohol unfit for beverage Use.
 We are even willing that the de- naturants shall be made less deadly until proper substitutes are found but remember the law prescrbes that industrial alcohol ust be made unfit for beverage use and there is only one way to do it now. Use wood alcohol"
 Mellon's Reply
 Mir. Mellon assured MT. Wheeler that no radical steps would be taken which might leave the stock of in- dustrial alcohol subject to wide- spread use by bootleggers but he re- iterated his stand that he was not willing to poison American citizens to enforce the law.
 When the government proceeds on the theory" Nil. Wheeler count cred, that its law will be disobeyed it cannot stand. It will decay within a year.
 The government has warned it's citizens that there is poison in most bootleg alcohol, If the citizen goes ahead and drinks it he Is Tn the same position as a man who walks into tn. drug store and buys a bottle of carbolic acid, carrying a poison label, and drinks it"
 Tho secretary took the view that the government cannot overlook the fact that some citizens are going to drink one thing or another and rei- terated his position that it is not tho function of the government to poison and kill to enforce the law.
 Mir. Wheeler told the secretary that the law in eight states provides murder penalties for bootleggers who knowingly sell goods containing poison.

MARSDEN 0F
 MADISON IS SUED Made Defendant in S25,000
 Action by Surety Co. COMPANY DEMANDS BOOKS
Claim Probate Court Official Re- fuses To Permit Suryey-Case In- wolves Estate Of Mrs. Sautcr Whose Death Complicated Will.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 31 R}- Judge Arthur w. Marsden of Madi- son is the defendant in a suit for $25,00o brought in superior court here by the American Surety com- pany. The company also asks for an injunction compelling Judge Marsden to give an accounting of the estate of Frederic Sauter of Madison.
 The complaint charges that Judge Marsden was appointed administra- tor of the estate January 6, last, at his own request and that on April 9 he gave bond of s25,000 and entered into contract with the Surety company whereby the com pany was to have access to the books and accounts of the estate. It is alleged that the company has ask ed permission to see these books and accounts and that Judge Mars den has refused. The company asks that Judge Marsden be compelled to produce the books and accounts in court for inspection,
 Company's Claim
 It is further claimed that the as- sets of the estate are In danger "of being wasted" and that the company has no means of determining the condition of the estate. Judge Booth has signed an order removing Mars den as judge of probate in this par ticular case and appointing Juge Charles A. Pelton of Clinton to act as judge of probate in Madison so far as this estate is concerned. Judge Marsden was asked to show cause why the injunction should not be granted, but a certificate filed in court today showed that the Madi- son judge was ill and not able to appear Dr. John A. Evans said that Judge Marsden was recovering from a nervous breakdown. The case was continued until next Tues day morning. Judge Marsden also is administrator of the estate of Mrs. Sauter. According to the will of MT. Sauter, the entire estate was to go to his wife and upon her death be divided into three parts and giv en to the heirs. Mrs. Sauter, how ever, died first and Judge Marsden became administrator. In adminis- tering the estate of Mrs Sauter, Judge Marsden asked that he be appointed administrator of the es- tate of MT. Sauter and he was so named January 6.
 All of the heirs live abroad with the exception of one, George Sauter of Madison.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31 P) - Sun spots exert an electrical power over man, which has been responsible throughout human history for the rise of great leaders, the fall of en- pires, the propounding of new doc- trines and the bitter struggles of in- ternecine and continental conflicts Prof. A. Tchijovsky of the Univer- sity of Moscow, has informed the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science.
 Human Development
 Investigation, the Russian scien- tist said, showed that human life reached it's fullest development at the times of maXima of sun spot activity and that the continuation of D period of this activity within the next two years might bring another great war The fluctuations of his- tory, he asserted, were synchronous with the fluctuations in the physico- chemical processes of the suns sub- stances.
 Great Era DaWning
 Tn 1927 and 1929" said Prof Tchijovslly, "when the 11-ycar per iod of sun-spot activity attains it's maximum and when this maximum will coincide with the maxima of two other periods of 60 years and 35 years, there will be great human activity of the highest histor- ical importance, which may again change the political chart of the world"
 Prof. Tchijovsky, who is director of the department of meteorology at the University of Moscow, declared
