POISON WAS MIXED WITH THE COOKING
Coroner Holds that Snyder Tried to Kill the Dayton Family by Putting Arsenic in Their Food.
(Continued from Page One) j opened or moved. Being confined to my bed I had no way of telling how Snyder killed my husband nor what lie did with the body. I was sick for two weeks after my husband went away." Efforts Futile. The efforts of Patrolman Lawler of the local office, and Isaac Burns, a detective of the Pennsylvania railroad, proved futile yesterday in discovering the whereabouts of Joseph Snyder. The officers with Sheriff Kirk of New Castle, inspected all the railroad camps and visited all the small towns in the vicinity of New Castle. Snyder is believed to be the man who applied for work at the Heller greenhouse on South Park avenue in New Castle last Wednesday night. After reading the description of Snyder, one of the employes of the greenhouse informed the police that the applicant resembled the description of Snyder. He was not seen again. After completing the investigation of the railroad camps, a round of the boarding houses and farm districts was made. The rumors that Snyder went to Indianapolis from New Castle on a traction car has not been verified by the authorities. Admits Falsehood. Chief Gormon has not interviewed Mrs. Dayton recently and probably will not do so unless something new develops in the case. He said that Mrs. Dayton had admitted that she lied when she Baid she did not know that there was a cellar under the house. She said she knew of a ditch, but had not thought of it as a cellar and had not told the police about it. Chief Gormon at the time of the disappearance of Dayton two years ago searched the house, but did not see a trace of a cellar, because the trap door was covered with a large desk or table, which completely concealed the lines in the linoleum on the floor. .The linoleum above the trap door has been torn off and taken to police headquarters. The only new clew the police obtained at New Castle, was that a man applied for work at the rolling mill Friday night. He was not put on the force and left immediately. The description of the applicant was so vague that it threw little Jight on Snyder's whereabouts. Insane Jealousy. Five years ago Patrolman Bundy was sent to the Dayton home on
North Twelfth street to arrest Dayton. At this time he was creating a disturbance, threatening the boarders with a large butcher knife. The cause of the threats was his insane jealousy
of his wife. He claimed his wife's re
lations to one of the boarders were
improper.. He also attacked one of
Mrs. Dayton's sons with the knife for trying to quiet him. When Bundy attempted to arrest Dayton on this occasion he ran out of the house into the back yardl He did not have on his shoes. As no shoes were found when his skeleton was unearthed, and as members of the family have said that he did not wear shoes when -he came from work, the theory of the police that he was murdered in the house seems to be strengthened. "While working at the old Gaar-Scott plant, Dayton always seemed hungry and would gladly accept gifts of food from his fellow employes. According to his friends, he seemed to be halfstarved. They always made it a point to share part of their lunch with Day-tou.

SCHOOLS III GARY WERE PROFITABLE
School Authorities Found!
that Industrial Courses Made Money.
POUGHKEEPS1E, N. Y. Stephen Scott, the "Vinegar King" today is disconsolate over the continued absence of his 19 year old bride whom he married last summer.
JERSEY CITY, N. J. Patrolman Faycrol also died of shock when he discovered $4,884 on the person of David O'Keefe, retired butcher, whom he found lying in a stupor and who is in jail charged with intoxication.

MONTCLAIR, N. J. Miss Florence G. Sheldon who fell through the ice covering Verona Lake, threw an end of her fur boa to rescuers who dared not venture upon the ice and used it for a lifeline and pulled her to safety.
"Industrial work in the schools of Gary, Indiana, made money instead of costing money during the past year." says Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education. "When the school authorities in Gary came to sum up the results of the work in the trade courses, they found that the three departments of printing, cabinet work, and painting had to their credit a profit of SS75.48. This is real value, too; the pupils made articles that were needed in the school; if they had not made them in the school shops the authorities would have had to purchase them in the open market at a total price of seven or eight thousand dollars." The Commissioner then gives the figures for each of the trade classes in the Gary schools, as reported by G. E. Wulfing, in charge of the industrial instruction. In the printing department the value of the work produced was $1,972.92. The salary expense was $1,483.49 and supplies cost $:U4, leaving a net balance in favor of the shop of $175.43.. There were 35 in the printing class, so instead of figuring the per capita cost of the industrial training of these pupils, it was possible to figure a definite contribu
tion by each pupil to the wealth of .
the community. "In the cabinet department," says
Dr. Claxton, "the product was valued i at $3,60S.S3, and the expense was j $3,155.'?7, leaving a balance of 1432. 4S in favor of the carpenters. Similarly, ' the painting department of the school showed a 'business' of $1,591.25 and an expense of $1,344.73. or a clear profit of $246.52. "Gary's conspicuous success with industrial training is an interesting indication of the spread of the modern , movement for vocational education. which insists that in addition to teach-; ing the recognized branches, the !
school must give instruction in those subjects that are of most immediate value to the community which supports it. In Gary the dominant interest is trade education; in rural districts it is largely agriculture; in the cities it may be stenography, typewriting and other commercial branches. In any case, it is coming to be felt more and more that an educational system is incomplete that fails to provide vocational training for its citizens."

Stratford, Iowa, "Three years afto this rioter my seven year old son had ringworm m the face. First it ir as in small red spots
which had a rough crust on the top. 'When they started they looked like little red dots and then they got bigger, about the size of a bird's egg. They had a white rough ring around them, and grew continually worse and soon spread over his face and legs. The child
suffered terrible itching and burning, bo that he could not sleep nights. He scratched them and they looked fearful. He was cross when he bad them.
