is the fourth to die from the | gi' | polson, the others being Timo- J. Sullivan and Mr. end Mrs. T. Brightman. Mr. Rodman 65 years of age, unmarried, a mill ve and lifelong resident of Ash- away.

Dr. Asa {18, Briges. medical examiner of the of Hopkinton, held an autopsy in' afternoon, assisted by his father, . \Alexander B. Briggs, and Dr. Mi- H. Scanlon, medical examiner ifor the town of Westerly, and Professor ‘Bernstein, state bacterioiogist, were in- ;vited to assist in the autopsy. | Tois was the first autopsy in the /polson cases which is liable to be of ‘benefit in connection with the cases, as the autopsy was made before the ‘body was embalmed. In the Sullivan ccase the autopsy was.not ordered until .15 hours after the embalming, and ‘therefore the stomach sent to the Rhode Island state chemist was of lit- tle value for the purpose of analysis. Dr. Little of Stonington, who attend- ¢ ed the Brightman cases, and Professor % iBector of Yale and Prof W. T Kirk- £ 3 Storrs college happened into . Scanlon’s office Wednesday. atter- B ‘noon Just as he was preparing to leave £ for Ashaway. He called Dr. Briggs ;and was authorized to invite the trio ¢ {of professional men to attend the au- Lol itopey. Professor Rector is an expert {in poison analysis and his presence and Isubsequent investigation may be of lassistance in determining the direct cause of four deaths and of the poison epidemic. From what he had learned }by inquiry *he was of the opinion that the poisoning was due to the grease used as the shortening, although the (presence of ptomaine poisoning in grease is very rare, but is possible.

Washington, D. C., July 21— Deep in the heart of European Russia, more than 700 miles from the German fron- tier, guarded over the intervening space by lake country, marshes, and innumerable riverways, always certain of reenforcement by the bleakest of winter weather, with its heavy, blind- ing drift of snow, is Moscow, the old capital of Russia, the city against whose walls the craft of Napoleon smashed. Moscow seems more secure from war horrors and devastation than any other metropolis within the con- fines of the fighting nations,” begins a bulletin describing the most Russian of Russian cities, issued today by the National Geographic soclety, at ‘Wash- ington. “Moscow belongs alike to the Orlent and the Occident, more, however, to the East than to the West. It is fur- ther east than Jerusalem, and behind it extends a vast, sparsely settled, half- clvilized, little-known region, sweeping the Arctic sea to our west and China. Moscow Is the pulse of this vast and undeveloped region, and _through it have flowed endless streams of plo- neers in peace times, on the mission of civilization to the bleak northern plains and their Asiatic natives. To the Russian, Moscow is a sacred city; to the stranger, it is a city of sur- passing beauty; to both, it is the heart and soul of Russia. “Irreglarly built, the intricate and uncommonly involved plan of this mighty city adds to its charm upon acquaintance. Its streets are one of its most trying experiences to the for- eign, mostly badly paved and filled with ‘raisins; as the cab drivers call the sharp projecting stones over which their ancient droshkies lurch. Then, too, the magnificent and the sordid are oddly mingled in the city’s architec- ture, and besidek the wonderful cath- edral and the impressive government structure one sees the mean buildings of poverty. The peasant, the gentle- man and the millionaire are inextri- cably mixed up in external Moscow. “Moscow is a city of churches. Their brilliantly colored tower domes, strik- ing bulbous affairs, like upturned beets or onions, or often mottled like a Hol- land cheese, give a delightful piquancy to the city’s panoramas. First of the Moscow sanctuaries is the renowned Church of the Saviour, one of the most luxurious temples in the world, a tem- ple proving the warmth of imagination and the love of splendor of the north.

This beach is also used by members of the United States coast artillery, stationed at Fort Scauyler. McCowan and Hartman were at work at a new large sewer near the creew when. their attention was at- tracted by the screams of children. They ran to the shore and about 20 feet out saw a whirlpool of mud. The water was only a few inches deep, the tide having gone out, and both men were about to wade in when they dis- covered that the mud-raiser was a shark. The shark had evidently drift- ed in with the tide and been stranded. JAPAN DENIES REQUEST OF GREAT BRITAIN To Prohibit Trade in Far East With Citizens of Hostile Nations, Tokio, July 1, (Correspgndence of Germany and Austria in Siam and Persia. join the movement, chiefly permit the enforcement of of The Associated Press)—Japan has in- formed Great Britain that she is un- able to accede to Great Britain's re- quest to announce a prohibition gf trading in the Far East with citizens of hostile nations.

With- in-the confines of the Kremlin, the first city on the site of Moscow gTew, the modern town extends in an outer Ting around it. Most of Kremlin escaped unharmed from Napoleon's visitation, though its towers were scarred by the fires to which the retreating Russians endeavored to sacrifice their city. “The largest bell in the world is preserved here in Moscow, with almost enough metal in it to make a modern battle. There are many hundreds of relics of Napoleon's visit here, aban- doned cannon and cannon balls of the French and_thelr allies. The famous in the Kremlin is one of the richest bulldings in the world, bufld- ed, decorated and filled with a luxury that is oppressive to those unaccus- tomed to association in environments of boundless wealth. The treasury of the Kremlin is a marvelous collection of priceless historic relics and sou- Venirs of the past.” ARMY -OBSERVERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED Two Officers, Who Had Been in Aus- tria, Assigned to War College. ‘Washington, July 21.—Col.
