to a $7,50O home, left by their pa- ternal grandmother whose body was found in the East river on Christ mas Eve, 1882. The will provided that If any of the children died, the property went to the survivors.
 District Attorney Edmond Rowan ordered the girl booked on homi- eide charge. She was taken to the morning police lineup.
 "She said Henry was rough with her, frequently beat her Up and once knocked out two of her teeth" Rowan caid. "She couldn't explain why she poisoned Charles. She said she liked him."
 She told of feeding the boys poison on four different occasions.
 It was believed that she had taken little of the poison herself, possibly to divert suspicion.
 On April 2, Henry, Elizabeth and Charles returned home at Il p. m. after a movie, they ate some cookies, the boys four each and the girl one, and 1~ank coffee. All three were stricken the next day. The girl re- covered quickly. The boys had a re- lapse a week later and the mother summoned an ambulance. The boys were treated in their home. In- terms believed they were suffering from indigestionY Last week the mother called the ambulance again. The boys were taken to a hospital where Charles died Saturday night, Henry on Sunday morning.

 in $8,OOO Action

With the deadline for the secur- ing of 1888 drivers licenses only a week away, the number of applica- tions is still running somewhat be- hind last year, according to Mrs. Alice Bradley, supervisor of the Waterbury branch office of the state department of motor vehicles.

Although the company's figure fol the men known to have been inside was 28, miners who had left the shaft before the explosion estimated that as many as 50 might have been trapped.
 Bodies Heaped Up
 The 12 bodies recovered from the mine during the night were heaped near the entrance. Rescue workers reported intense heat and believed that the fire was worse farther back in the tunnel
 At the mine entrance Major H. B. Nicholas, superintendent of the Virginia state police, supervised 12 state troopers who attempted to keep the narrow mountain roads clear.
 L. E. Woods, w. Va, president of the Red Jacket company was en- route from Washington to Grundy, Va, the company's headquarters. E. P. Smith, general superintendent of Red Jacket operations and E. R. Kirby, superintendent of Keen Mountain Mines, assisted in She rescue work.
 Red Jacket Coal company officials said they knew that at least B more men had been trapped by a "dust" explosition and fire which wrecked the mine yesterday. They said that there was no chance that any could have survived.
 About 100 U. S. Bureau of Mine and West Virginia Bureau of Mine rescue workers found 12 bodies early today. Three others had been found earlier outside the entrance to the surface" type mine.
 B. G. Buchanan, Hanger police officer, said that there were 25 more men in the mine in addition to the 20 known victims.
 There is no chance in the world that any of them will come out alive" he said.

reused the whole country to re- | joicing, might carry out an often made threat to blast the dykes of the Yellow River.
 If they did, on the scale which threats implied, they would precip- itate one of the most terrible disas- ters in the history of mankind, &C., cording to engineers.
 Millions Would Die
 They would flood an area of many thousands of square miles, inhabi- ted by upwards of 40,000,000 people and 1t was said here that escape would be impossible for millions. Some engineers thought that if suf- ficient dykes were destroyed the Yellow River would change its course.
 Always turbulent and treacherous, the Yellow River for more than five centuries before 1852, flowed in- to the Yellow Sea. In 1852 it changed its course and now flows into the Gulf of Chili-250 miles northward. A change of course back to the 1852 mouth would affect a triangle of country about 5000 square miles in area, or 250 miles wide at its base on the coast and 22O miles long from base to apex.
 It is not without reason that al- ternative names for the Yellow River are "The Ungovernabie, !" "Chinas Sorrow" and "The Scourge of the Sons of Han" At low water, it's bed raised by the silt which gives the river its name yellow, it is generally Is feet above the level of the plain. At high water, it is 30 feet above the level.
 So far the Japanese drive had not developed sufficiently to permit accurate speculation on its ultimate result.
