Meanwhile, dry have rallled to the defense of the government in putting poisonous denaturants in alcohol in an at- {tempt to prevent diversion of in- | dustrial alcohol for beverage use: |which Dr. Charles Norris, medica |examiner, has held responsible for the heavy death toll.

The situation is most tense along the Tennessce, Cumberland and Ohio rivers, where more than 6,000 have been driven from their homes aratory to issuance of a new for- mula for industrfal plants which will denature alcohol along more distasteful but less poisonous lines. Fourteen additional persons suf- fering from _alcoholic poisoning were admitted to Bellevue hospital yesterday, bringing to 137 the total cases reported in hospitals in Man- hattan and the Bronx. This number, health department officials said, could represent but a partial check as many others un- doubtedly had been taken to pri- {vate sanitariums or had been treated at their homes. Dr. Norris asserted that thus far in 1926, 468 persons had died in Manhattan alone from poisoned li- | quor. The death toll for thismonth, he said, has reached 51. Dr. Alexander O. Gettler, chief toxicologist at Bellevue hospital, |said that the alcoholic deaths in |New York this year ‘exceed the number who died during the day: streams.
