It was thought that ptomaine or arsenic poisoning was the cause. The families of Mr. John Little, six in all, were rendered sick, as were also members of the families of Mr. Ralph Self, Mr. Lavendar, Mr; Holler, Mr. Benfield and others. According to hysicians. these fam ilies purchased milk that was left in t.n containers several hours and it is believed that a reaction devel oped, causing either arsen'c or ptom aine poisoning. A serious epidemic of vomiting was the result, and one man, after drinking milt, went pos sum hunting, and had to be carried home in a wagon. All the cases were traced to the same source, it is said. Daniel S. Tuttle, senior bishop. Tak ing as his text, Acts 27, 31, "Paul sa d to the Centurion and to the sol diers, except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved," the bishop dis cussed the contribution the Episco pal church could make to unity, and enumerated reverence, truth, catho licity and American flavor, and of the latter said: "I do not want to presume.

"I stand for American rights throughout the world without fear or favor," Mr. Hughes said. "I have no understanding, no agree ment, no intrigues, with anybody, but I stand for the interests of the Unit ed States and the protection of American lives, American property and American commerce throughout the world." Mr. Hughes spoke for the protective tariff and again assailed the admin istration for the enactemnt of the e'ght-hour law. "I am not opposed to the principle of an eight-hour work day,'" he said.
