Posters warning against lettering

the building were posted in on
spicuous places Thursday morning
and the loiterers were personally
urged 10 carry on by Jefferds who
made periodical tours Of the federal

now stepped from that class and is

permits verdict by majority.
Slater was sentenced to death. The
case attracted SO much attention that
a petition signed by 10000 persons was
presented asking for mercy, and the
sentence was committed to life impris-
onment. Ever since efforts TO secure
his release by review of the case have
been continuous. The Scottish courts,
however, move slowly and it has taken
many years to overcome the obstacles
to review. The highest court has at
last declared that the verdict should be
set aside because of unwarranted in
structions to the jury at the trial. anC

in court were nuilifed by the fact that

For the second time this Summer
wholesale food poisoning has occurred

Z i, Central Union Mission were affected
h the same manner Fl, sunately none
ef them hiss been seriously afflicted and
all viii doubtless recover. Thorough
Investigation must be made as to the
cause Of this wholesale poisoning. It
may have been due to the improper
preparation or the deterioration of food
supplied by the charitable organization
giving the outing It may have been
due TO the condition of food supplied
at the resort where the outing was held,
Some evidence points to the latter pos
s!hility.
The intense heat which Washington
has experienced during the past few
days was probably q factor in the case.
Certain foods deteriorate rapidly in
such conditions and poisonous elements
are developed unless Strict precautions
are observed. II the fault lies at the
resort, II is the duty Of the Maryland
authorities under whose jurisdiction
the place lies, to provide remedies. and,
