l0.-The bodies of Is men, victims of
the first major tragedy in the half
century of coal mining in the Alberta
foothills, were brought to the surface

But, at the same time, the New

desire for better interest than by any
other motive power.
The sum total of all these reactions
to the Advisory Council demand,
therefore, seems to amount to one

Note-Remember also, that the
present Federal Reserve boardmen are
now anxiously awaiting reappointment
by the White House.
The best tea-table story of the
budding social season is the one
about Washington society leader
and a governmental commission. 1t
seems that this commission is one
of those obscure oUerUorked goU-
ernn1entdl authorities that meets
once q year, or thereaboutS. Its
August meeting for this gear lDds
held here a tetD 1Ceeos ago. The
commissioners, including some rep
TesentdttUes from foreign land,
1Uere inUited by the society lady to
tea.
The big day for the commissioners
saw them properly arrayed in striped
pants and authoritative stiff collars.
They made very dignified formal
in the salon of their Off
cial hostess, but were somewhat dis
concerted to find her missing. Her
secretary explained she had been
delayed on business.
Their feet began to ache after half
an hour of shifting their weight from
one to the other. Then the absent
lady blew in through the door on a
wintry blast. Explanations were not
necessary, as the lady was attired in
horseback riding rairnent. The secre-
tary took the rap, as they say in
Tammany social circles, explaining
that she had neglected to remind her
mistress of the engagement.
The lady herself made. a gracious
apology and said she would join the
party as soon as she could dress. She
must have been delayed at this, also.
The commissioners, after waiting
until their feet were fairly screaming.
decided unanimously that they had
other engagements. They left to
rest up for another next year.

that his information came from the
reports of Police Officers George S.

raiders of those days. His testimony
was not productive Of any indictments.
A short while afterward he was wit

Later Liggett wrote a series on ''un-
solved murders" here-among them
the Mary Baker and Scrivener deaths
In gathering material on these cases,
which he pointed out as examples of
police inefflciency, he was accompanied
by former Policeman Robert J. Allen,

Federal Reserve policy has been to

pressure on the frozen capital mar

Thus, it is hardly reasonable to ex-

they would say:

- SHOPPING DAYS
In TO CHRISTMAS

COACHES first came into public use
in England in the seventeenth
century. The rapid schedules of these
coaches, which carried both passen-
gers and mail, frequently carried trav-
elers past inns at which they had for
merly found pleasure in stopping. AS
q consequence there were many pro-
tests from tnnkeepers. The forerun-
ner Of the modern pickup mail
pouches by fast trains without stop
ping was inaugurated during this era.
At places where the mail coach did
not halt a pack containing the local
mail was tossed off and the guard
snatched the outgoing pack OF a

young man was found lying in the

Lower Saranac Lake, about 8 am.
Two pistol bullets had been fired
through his head.
Parents Notified.
His father, former Judge George
washington Olvany. and his mother
have been notified of the shooting,
Duprey said.
Young Olvany has been a con-

Last year he studied at Brown

parents and Miss Sidney Schafer OF
Providence, R. I.
He gave a party last night for sew

one of them, Bruce Clark, a newspaper
man, that it was a farewell party
He planned to leave for New YORK
City December 18.
early this morning the party sep
arated. Clark told me Olvany handed
him a note and told him to open it
after o'clock.
"The note informed Clark that a
news story had broken and directed
him to go to the Amperson Boat
House"
Duprey said Clark called police
headquarters. Police made fast trip
to the designated boat house, but found
Olvany on the old Algonquin Hotel
property instead. He was mumbling
1ncoherently, Duprey reported.
Pistol Found by Body.
A .45-caliber automatic pistol was
found beside the body. Duprey said
he issued a pistol permit to Olvany
several weeks ago.
DR.. Warner Woodruff began oper-
ating before daybreak, soon after the
youth was taken to the hospital.
Shortly afterward slight improve
ment" in his condition was announced.
Duprey said that in one note Olvany
referred to Something he couldn't
overcome"
Duprey said one bullet passed
through Olvany's nose and another
through his temple and the top Of his
head. The note found on his person
said Olvany intended to fire a "test
shot" Duprey said.
The police officer said the note was
dated "12-?-35." And that it read:
This will explain that took my
life by my, own hand.

cold and snow, but I didn't want to

The note to Clark was written on
the stationery Of a Syracuse news
paper. Duprey said it read:
Dear Bruce:
"The story told you about broke

you won't be in the hole if it isn't of

"Tally-ho,

- "P. S.-Don't spare the hosses."

names of Olvany's other companions

4 MILFORD RESIDENTS
POISONED BY SHOES
Toxic Conditions Resulted From
Shoes Which Had Been Dyed

Four Milford residents almost died
not with their boots On" but "be-
cause they had their shoes on" it
was recently reported to the State
Board of Health.
Severe shock and fairly serious
heart involvement of a sufficient Sc
verify to necessitate medical atten-
tion resulted when four persons in
this city wore shoes which had too
recently been dyed with an aniline
preparation. The dye not having had
a chance to dry completely, the per-
spiration Of their feet served to
draw it into their systems, and Sc
we're toxic conditions resulted.
So far as could be determined in
the laboratory Of the State Board Of
Health, the dyeing material used
contained aniline, which upon intro
auction into the human blood stream
will break down the red cOrpuscles
and seriously impair the oxygen
carrying capacity of the blood. Nj
trobenzine is one of the frequent and
decidedly harmful ingredients of
shoe polishes and dyes, and even
deaths have been reported from its
absorption, according to the official
U. S. Dispensatory. In 1919 the jour
nal Of the American Medical Associ-
alton carried Stifers deductions from
his research into the properties Of
In which he reported
cases of severe poisoning from the
use Of shoe dye containing this
chemical from which aniline is de-
rived.
According to the State health au-
thorities, shoes which have been
dyed are safe to wear, providing
time is allowed for them to dry
They state also that
recently-dyed shoes with
ihick socks is more dangerous than
with thin hosiery, for the heavy
socks encourage perspiration which
ENDS to soften the dye and draw It
nto the system.
