Asks Wife’s Arrest on Poison Charge Armed with a warrant charging an attempt to administer poison with intent to kill, police today were seeking Jennie Barr, Negro, who, according to her husband, J. H. Barr, 1015 Roache St., prepared for his dilection a sauce containing deadly quantities of poison. Barr said he returned home from his work one evening last week, and found supper awaiting him on the table. His wife and his insurance papers were gone, he told police. Scenting something wrong with a sauce he found in a pan on the table, he took it to the laboratories of the State board of health for analysis and learned it contained poison. I. L. Miller, head of the State food and drug department, said the analysis showed large quantities of poison in the concoction.

LOWERING FUG 10 DUD DOG ID POLITICAL EFFECT Former Governor Baxter of Maine Lost Race for U. S. Senate. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, March 11.— Strange little eddies stir big' whirlpools In political waters, as tho story which is being told around Washington about the death of a dog and its affect upon the senatorship In Maine attests. It is related that Governor Baxter of Maine had a dog of which he was very fond while* he was chief executive of the State and that during his term of office the dog died. In grief at the death of his pet, attaches at tlie executive mansion lowered a £lag to half-mast. This use of the flag in honor of a pet was resented by certain patriatic organizations and something of an issue was made of it in the primary campaign. Until that issue had been brought up the betting had favored Governor Baxter. It may not alone carry tho onus of his defeat and the subsequent election of his opponent, but it played a very important part in developments of his life, just as the little piece of string on a man’s coat formed the basis of important events in the story of Balzac called “A Little Piece of String.” Similarly it is related that a former Senator from Kansas when that State had state prohibition before national prohibition, dropped a remark in jest which was use! afterward to defeat him. Asked how prohibition was getting along in his State, the Senator is supposed to have replied: “Oh, we’re getting along all right. The wets hafe all the liquor they want and the drys have all the law they want and everyone is satisfied.” His friends say the remarks were made a joke, but speakers who used them in the campaign put 'uch a serious interpretation upon them that the Senator was defeated.

TWO MORE CHILDREN MISSING Girl, 15, and Boy, 13, Sought by Police—Truant Lad Not Found. Two more youths of school age were added to the police list of missing persons today. Irene, 15, daughter of Fred Marling, 3018 Newton St., left home Thursday to attend Technical High School. She did not return and an investigation proved she had not attended school. At the time of her disappearance, the girl wore a white drera with red and black polka dots, r coat and green hat. Irene has brown hair and black eyes. William Chapman, 13. son of Anderson Chapman, 235 N. West St., ■disappeared under identical circumstances and has, not been heard from since. A check at William's school revealed the fact that he had not attended recently. When last seen the boy wore a brown suit, tan shoes and dark cap. William has dark hair and blue eyes. No word has yet been received by the parents of Voyer Sullivan, 11, who ran aw r ay from home Thursday after the hoax he had played successfully on his parents and school teacher for five weeks was detected. Voyer played hookey and blamed ‘‘chickenpox and measles” for his absence from school. He ran away when detected. Five-year-old Kenneth Buckles, 1816 N. Pennsylvania St., tottered a few blocks away from home Thursday evening shortly and caused his parents to report him missing. The boy was found within an hour two blocks away from home.

ROAD RODS ARE DENOUNCED BY MOTOR OFFICIAL One Who Cuts in on Traffic Is Worst, Says J. D. Dungan. The road hog today is represented’: by as many distinct types ns the lowly cucumber after it becomes a pickle, and the most aggravating road hog to bo encountered in tlie city is tlie one who cuts in on traffic,, according to James Dunne Dungnn, president of tho lloosler Motor ClOb. “The 'me first’ attitude is responsible for the typo ot road ho* wl o cuts in on traffic,” he declare 1. "Whenever one hears the screech of brakes and smells tho burning of rubber It is assumed that sofno road hog has cut in and forced another motorist to do all tlie guessing about how to avoid a .vreck. "There are Home drivers who Just must get ahead even though they, intend to pass on tho left and mal e’ a quick stop at tlie curb on the right' Others will pass on the left near • street intersection and then take a right turn in front of the ear they have just passed. Tlie more dnrirg of this type will take a left turn tt a street intersection and cause four or five motorists approaching from tho opposite direction to Jam on brakea in order to save the life and. property of a road hog. "The selfish attitude of ths road hog is always displayed at a traffic signal where cars are lined up waiting for the signal to ‘Go.’ Here one will find them edging along on the left of tho traffic, looking for smell separation between cars where they, may nose In and step on the ga-J “Many accidents arc the result of this form of procedure at tho traffic signal. If tho road hog and tho motorist who is being displaced tn line step on tlie gas at tlie same time, the road hog is forced into the; traffic signnl or tho other motorUt is forced into tlie curb or again t some car whicli may bo parked across the street. “There is tho motorist driving without giving signals, who must bo catalogued witli the species of ‘tutting in’ road hogs. He assumes tho road belongs to him and he Is tlie only ono traveling it. He turnq left* without signal, takes his stops with-, out signal and perhaps may desl -o to slacken his speed perceptibly for tlie purpose of sightseeing. He dO”s this without signaling, dependli g solely upon the alertness of the motorist behind to avoid an accident. "If every driver would uae the same courtesy on the road that he usca in his homo there would be no road hogs and considerable less accidents. With Spring Just aroui and the corner and its sure increase of traffic it will pay everyone to pi y more attention to tho courtesies of driving and depend less on the other fellow for safety.”
