 ness With C0nfederateS

Atlanta, Sept. IS P-A denial that he planned to include a like ness of General |. S. Grant in the proposed Confederate memorial on Stone Mountain was inferred in a telegram received here yesterday from Gutzon Borglum, sculptor who is now at Rapid City, South Dakota.

DETROIT POLICE
 NAB HUGE STILL.
Equipment Seized Said to Be
 Worth Nearly S1,00O,QO0

Detroit Sept. IS P)-Police early today announced they had destroyed an illicit distillery which had been doing a $1,0O0,O00 a month business for several months.
 In a raid late last night they dis covered and seized the largest al cohol plant found in Detroit since the 18th amendment went into ef- feet. The raiders said the value of the elaborate equipment and ma terials was s1,0O0,000, while con- servative estimates placed it at more than $500,000.
 Operators of the plant escaped by means of rope ladders from rear windows, while police were batter ing down doors and partitions. The building, located near the center of the uptowns business district at Woodward avenue and Grand Boule- yard, formerly was used by the fire department but was abandoned and sold several years ago.
 Even Had Elevators
 The DIE QlStlllery was equlppel with a telephone system and bat tery of elevators. There was eviG- ence that it was operated by experts. Each vat was furnished with a bull letin board, giving the formula used and instructions as to temperatures and time of heating. There was a well designed ventilating system for carrying fumes to the roof.
 Eighty thousand gallons of grain mash was found in vats and 10000 gallons of grain alcohol was ready for shipment. There was a crating department and evidence that five gallon tins of alcohol were shipped in carload lots from a railroad sid ing near the building.
 Storage rooms were crammed to the ceiling with materials for mak- ing alcohol, including 100000 pounds of raw sugar and 2,000 gal Ions of molasses.
 A stoppage in the ventilating sys- tenn led to the discovery of the dis tillery. Persons living nearby had complained of the odors.

JEWS ID OBSERVE
 THEIR NEW YEAR
Rosh HaShanah Marks Year 5691 on Religious Calendar

The Jews all over the world will celebrate their New Year. called in Hebrew "Rosh Hashanah," on Tues day, September 23rd. According to the Bible. this holiday is to be ob- served but one day. The Jewish cal endar designates this year as 5691 In the religious life of Israel, New Years Day ranks in sacredness and solemnity next to the Day of Atone nent. Its message to the world at large, as we'll as to the Jewish peo- pie, can best be understood when this holiday is considered in the light of it's historical development.
 The origin of this holiday may be traced back to the days when Israel indulged in agriculture in Palestine. All Semitic peoples began to count their agricultural year with the first month of autumn. According to the Bible, there was to be holy convo- cation of the people on this day, t1umpets were to be sounded, and special sacrifices were to be offer ed at the Temple of Jerusalem The particular meaning and purpose Of this holiday are not set forth eX- plicitly. but from ancient times on, no doubt, it was regarded as the New Year of the agricultural cycle by the Jewish people.
 With the dispersion of Israel throughout the world and the destruction of the Temple, the agri- cultural background of this festival disappeared almost entirely, and it assumed a higher religious and spir- itual aspect. The Rabbis of old clothed New Years Day with new meaning and significance. They re- garded this day as the beginning of the creation of the world and set it aside as the day of judgme heaven and earth judges every crea- ture of the world, This idea fash toned this festival into a most sol emn occasion when man is to strive for a new life of amendment and reconciliation with his fellowmen the idea that New Years Day is a day of self-searching and self-criti- cism which runs through almost every prayer c the Union Prayer Book.
 Even today the observance of this festival is stiD distinguished by the blowing of the rams horn the

To Spend Half A
 Million on Fences
Superior Court Ruling Causes Com missioner to Adopt Wire Rope Pro
 lection Along State Highways

State Highway Commissioner John \. Macdonald has asked for contrac- tors bids for approximately thirty miles o. standard wire rope railing to replace sections of wooden fence protection along state highways. The action of the commissioner follows a superior court decision concerning the function of highway guide or guard rails as q safety factor. The state will ultimately be forced to spend half a million dollars for this change. The places where most se- were damage may result if ears run off the highway will be given first at tention.
 Until the courts judgment had been handed down. highway guide rail had not been recognized legally as means of preventing motor ve- hicles from running of the road. Its main function had been considered that of definitely marking the right of way so that the eyes of the motor it might not be deceived in night or bad weather driving. In recent years However. the department, of its own accord. has installed the stronger type of railing in many of the places be- lieved to be more dangerous.

nemesis of automobile thieves, was
seriously injured last night when his

pavement following a collision at North

POISONING Of FOWL
REMAINS MYSTERY
Probe Fails to Disclose Cause
of Illness in CayIor
Home.

Source Of the arsenic which in some
unexplained manner found its way into
turkey and dressing at a Christmas
dtnner in the home Of Mrs. Edith Cay
lor, 1913 Fifth street northeast, poison
ing Is persons, remained a mystery to-
cay as police continued an investigation
Of the case.
Headquarters Detective Charles Mans
neld, assigned to conduct an inquiry,
SAID today that while he was satisfied
from his preliminary investigation the
poisoning OF the family and its guests
was accidental, no clue had been found
to settle the important question Of how
the deadly drug entered the food.
The police will bend every effort to
clear up the mystery without delay,
since there are fears that more Of the
poison may appear from the same un-
known source.
Mrs. Caylor and all the members Of
the family were greatly surprised to
learn OF the discovery of arsenic in the
turkey and its dressing, ascertained in
an analysis OF the food by municipal
chemists. No arsenic had been in the
house at any time, Mansfield was told.
Although the poison seemed to be
conferred in the turkey dressing, a Pc
culiar angle was that this portion was
part Of a batch prepared at Thanks
giving time and was eaten then without
untoward results. Apparently the dress
ing became poisoned since Thanksgiving
day, Mansfield said.
A search Of the premises similar to
that conducted successfully by Federal
food and drug inspectors at the home
of Mrs. j. Bernard Parker Of Falls
Church, where arSenic-poisoned flour
made several families i'll and threatened
tragedy to many others, will be made.
In the Falls Church case, Inspector
George p. Larrick Of the Department of
Agriculture found small bag in the
basement, which had contained calcium
arsenate used for spraying, and 1t is
presumed the contents of the bag were
emptied into q -four sack by small
child who mistook the white powder for
-four.
Mrs. Parker Is recovering from the
effects Of repeated doses of the poison
which she ate in mullins, bread and
fruit cake baked from the -four. Nine
fruit cakes sold to persons In nearby
Virginia were recovered by the Federal
officials after frenzied hunt.
