APPLICATIONS IN SHOALS FOR PERFUME FACTORY PERMITS. “Anybody with %0 can go to the Revenue Department, pay 450, put up A bond and get a permit to manufec- ture cologne or hair tonic with a ba- sis of non-deverage alcohol. Appli- cants for such permits have been coming in shoals. By moans of auto truck deliveries cleverly camoufiagdd {t ts comparatively easy to ship the alleged whiskey hundreds of miles and there appears to be a ready mar~ ket for it." * Returus coming in to-day indicate that wood alcohol whiskey was sold ‘extensively in New Jersey and up- State well as in Connecticut and Massachusetts, One death—that of Michael Vansa of No. 618 Westfield Avenue, Roselle, N. J.—and five cases ‘of severe iliness in Roselle and Roselle Park and other parts of Union County, caused by indulgence in wood alcohol whiskey, were reported to-day. ight additional deaths from wood | Wicohol poisoning were reported to- @ay in Massachusetts and the poison ~ bought !n this olty.

Evidence is at hand show- ing that the men who distributed the poison which caused 89 many deaths im Connecticut and Massachusetts had their headquarters in Hartford. ‘SHIPPED RAW TO HARTFORD AND RECTIFIED THERE. - ‘The stuff was shipped raw to Hart- fora from this city by motor truck ‘and was “rectified” there by one Saul Joseph. The rectification consisted of the addition of water, burnt sugar sand’ prune julce or other coloring matter. Each barrel of raw spirit produced two barrels of “rectified” owhiskey. “A former service man who de- "“Beribed “himself as “Frank Murray ‘of Brooklyn"—later on he sald his name isn't Frank—fell unconscious in “the office ofthe Health Department at Pearl and Centre Streets at noon to-day in the midst of his report that #he thought he had been poisoned by 44v00d alcohol in an Oak Street sa- “Noon.

This makes an unofficial total during the holiday season alone of 114, and this unoffi- ‘cial total is probably inadequate. Walter J. Bahr, No, 107 Congreas Avenue, Jersey City, died in Jamaica Hospital last night shortly’ after being taken there in an unconscious condition, suffering from wood alco- hol poisoning, according to the hos- pital authorities, ‘Three other per- sons, two women and u five-yoar-old girl, removed to St. Mary’s Hospital at tho same time from No. 9 Napier Place, Dunstan, Queens, are also be- Neved to be suffering trom wood al- coho} poisoning.

The deaths in Newark due to wood alcohol poisoning were brought up to nine within two weeks. by four fa- taliies yesterday, ‘Two of the dead persons were bartenders. They died in the saloon in which they worked, N 210 Belmont Avenue. The men were Philip Wozowski, fifty-five, and Charles Fera, twenty-six.

Adam Hoslinsky, thirty-six, No. 20 College Place, dicd at home after be- ing taken with fainting spells. Adam Anton, thirty-six, No. 104 Monmouth Street, was the fourth to die. All the cases were diagnosed as due to wood alcohol by Dr. George L. Warren, County Physician. ‘Three’ men died in Orange yester- day, and Or, Willam Brien, Deputy County Physician, said the deathe might have been due to wood alcohol, but that he would have chemical analyses performed to-day on the contents of the men's stomachs. The dead men are Richard Jacobus, No, 40 Willlam Street; Edward Far- rel, Wilson and Oakwood Places, and George Cooper, No, 102 Parrow Street. At Hartford, reports to Collector of Internal Revenue dames J. Walsh last night showed that ono death and one case of blindness in Meriden were to be added to the growing total death and casualty list caused by drinking wood alcohol whiskey shipped through the Connecticut Valley from New York manufacturers, who used Adolph Panerelli as their agent. ‘BLIND DEATH’ HELD AS ‘DRY’ " WARNING!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 can and Democratic —Republi- Senators work- ing for a peace treaty compromise centred their plan said to have been accopted by the mild reservation Republicans and by a number of Democrats for ratification with three modifications in the fourteen reservations approved by the Senato majority at the last sion, The three changes, which somo Senators believe would mako the res- ervations acceptable to two-thirds, deal with the preamble providing that the qualifications must be acquiesced in by tho ovher powers, with article 10 and with Shantung. The mild group believe that Senator Lodge will be willing to make these changes and that Senator Hitchcock also will ibe eatisfied with them, It was said that neither of the party heads in the Senate had yet expressed a final opinion, Under the new preamble suggested the Genate reservations would be re- garded as accepted by the other par- ties to the treaty unless specific objection were made withta a Umited time. The wording of the Article X. reservation would be changed so as to eliminate the language which Presi- dent Wilson said he would regard as a rejection of the treaty and to sub- stitute an affirmative declaration that the article's obligations are accepted | with the understanding that future Congresses shall be at liberty to de- cide questions of peace and war, language which some Senators have regarded as offensive to other Powers would be modified im the Shantung reservation Although compromise talk on this and other modification plans con- tinues among the Senators remaining here there are so many absent that no concrete action is expected until the Sonate reassmbles next Monday, SHIP HERE FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, Black Arrow Arrives, First Since War Began—H.
