DOCTOR POISONS.
FAMILY, SELF.
Administers Drug Under
GuiSe of incubation.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
HIGHBRIDGE, N. j., Feb. s.
Temporary insanity, apparently in
duced by worry over finances,
caused DR.. Frederick c. Low to in
oculate himself and his family with
a deadly poison, resulting in the
death of his wife, their 11-year-old
daughter and himself, authorities
believed today.
The only member of the family
to survive the effect of the hypo-
dermicly administered toxin was
the physicians son Frederick Jr.,
Is. He was in Somerset hospital,
Sommerville, where physicians
sought to ward off threatening
pneumonia.
1t was the youth who discovered
the tragedy Tuesday when, recover
ing consciousness after a coma last
ing sixty hours, he staggered to his
mothers room and found her dead.
His sister was dead in bed in an
adjoining room. Downstairs in the
living room he found his father
stretched on the couch. The boy
shrieked for help into a telephone
and beat on the windows Until
neighborS came.
According to authorities, DR.. Low
induced members of his family to
take what he said were anti-typhoid
injection.

HEAVY TAX SALES ARE
ANTICIPATED IN STATE
Old Law Again in Effect, Expected
to Increase Auctions.

Heavy tax sales in Marion county
and throughout the state are eX-
pected Monday, it was predicted
today by L. S. Bowman, secretary
Of the state tax board.
Prediction of unprecedented sales
is based on the fact that the 1881
statute, which limited redemption
profits to per cent, has expired
and the old law again is in effect.
Under the old law redemption of
property sold for taxes is possible
only by payment of 10 per cent for
the first siX-month period, Is per
cent for the next six months and
25 per cent the second year.
