IN ELIXIR DEATHS

CHICAGO, Nov. 8 GN.S).
Citing the deaths of more than
go persons from an elixir of sui

American Medical Association to-

An editorial in the cLAent is

Surely there has been no

equacy of the food and drug
laws or the lack Of scientific de-
cency in drug manufacture than
that illustrated by this tragic
disaster.
with the present inadequate
laws the (food and drug) admin

armed as a hunter pursuing a

no error in our manufacture I
do not think we should be

BATTLE LINE SHIFTS
Troop movements within the
Chinese lines - including with
drawal from Nantao and a thin
ming of the forces stationed in
Pootung and Hungjao, indicated
the Chinese were retiring from
their "Hindenburg line" to a new
defense line running through
Sungkiang, Tsinpu, Quinsan and
Changshu.
This would put the new Chinese
battle line still further south and
west of Shanghai.
With the Chinese retirement
well under way, only a few Chinese
troops remained in the Pootung
and Nantao areas.
DELAYED BY RAINS
Heavy rains delayed major op-
erations on the Shanghai front.
A few Japanese planes bombed
the Pootung district and the area
west of Jessfield Park after
French, Chinese and Japanese Of
ficials reached an agreement to
avert Japanese attack on Nantao,
which would imperil the French
concession.
French authorities guaranteed
Chinese troops would be with
drawn from Nantao and French
control established in that area,
which adjoinS the French con-
cession.
In North China, Japanese ad-
vances continued. A japanese
communique issued at Peiping
stated that the fall of Taiyuanfu,

Imminent" Previous advices said
the Japanese had captured Shu-

PROSECUTOR BUSY

Meanwhile Prosecutor Dudley
Outcault called upon his ghostly
allies once again today in an ef-
fort to speed Mrs. Anna Marie
Hahn to the electric chair.
Working steadily through the
election day adjournment of court
the prosecutor mapped a merciless
cross-examination of the defend
ant, on trial for the poison muir
der of Jacob Wagner.
To break down her denial Of
guilt, Outcault said he expected
to delve deeply in the deaths of
the other old men she is alleged
to have poisoned for their meager
wealth.

OF MRS, HAHN
Exhaustive curse
Prompted by Defense

CINCINNATI, Nov. 3 G.N.SJ.
A specialist was called to the wit
ness stand by the defense today
in an effort to wipe out State
charges that Anna Marie Hahn is
modern Borgia and is guilty of
mass murder.
While Anna received another
respite from the prosecutions's
badgering, following yesterdays
election day recess, DR.. william
Duncan McNally, former coroner's
chemist Of Cook county, Illinois,
delivered something of lecture
on poisons and their symptoms,
under the guidance of defense at
torney Joseph Hoodin.
ON STAND AGAIN
1t was expected Mrs. Hahn
would return to the stand late
today.
Though the blonde ex-school
teacher is being tried specifically
for the Staying of Jacob Wagner,
one Of her many elderly German
friends, Attorney Hoodin in his
questioning of DR.. McNally dwelt
at length on the case of 62-year-
old George Heis, who is referred
to by police as Mrs. Hahn's "only
living victim"
Heis appear in court last week
in pitiable condition, and Hoodin
attempted to imply that his Ill
health might have been caused by
drinking home brew from bottles
rinsed in washing crystals, where
as the State insists it resulted
from the old man being fed poison
by Mrs. Hahn.

MUSKEGO, Wis, April 19.-The
death early today Of a 17-year- old
girl and the finding of the body Of 4
~ -year-old boy brought to nine the
number Of persons of one family who
were killed when an explosive SUBJ
stance stored in the basement Of their
farm home near here blew up.
The mother, Mrs. Mary Waszak, 81,
and seven children were seated around
the family radio last night when the
explosion demolished their home.
Louise Waszak succumbed to in
juries in hospital. The body Of
Raymond Waszak, 2l2, was found to-
day.
Coroner Martin Fromm said evil
dence indicated that SO pounds of
pyrotol, used for blasting stumps, had
caused the explosion.
Physicians said six of the children
John, jr., ID; Lottie, Is; Gilmore, IA;
Helen, IL; Frank, 8, and Joseph, s.
all died within few hours from skull
| fractures. The mother was killed
instantly.
John Waszak, the father, told a
historical story of how the house
raised off the ground and scattered
like matchwood" as he stepped out
of the barn where he had been doing
the chores"
Del Meyer, a neighbor, said the ex-
plosive was about four years old and
was thought to have become ineffec-
tive from age.
1T might have been set off by a
slight jar or by mice chewing on it."
he said. THE pyrotol was stored in
the milk shed up to about a week ago.
Then Waszak apparently became ap-
prehensive somebody might tamper
with it and removed it to the base
ment of the house. Some of it was
about four years old and wouldn't
work"
Two other children were not at
home when the explosion occurred
Parts Of the 10-room house were
strewn over an acre Of ground.

If the administration persists in its

on Capitol Hill will no doubt arise
as to split the Senate into irrecon-
