ATLANTA. GA.. SUNDAY, MAY 25. 1915.
State Board of Health Prepares
Bulletin Telling of Bangers of
Having Bichloride in Home,
MERCURY ANTIDOTES TOLD
Caution at All Times in Handling
Medicine Is the Only Way to
Remain on Safe Side.
The death of H. Sanders Walker,
the prominent young Macon capital
ist who came to his end through ac
cidental poisoning, is the inspiration
of a health bulletin soon to be issued
by the Georgia State Board of Health,
warning the public against the dan
ger which lurks in even the innocent
use of bichloride of mercury in the
home.
Walker swallowed a bichloride tab
let by mistake, thinking that he had
taken a grain of aspirin. The strug
gle of the young man against death
aroused the sympathy of the entire
nation. This story will be used as the
text of the warning by the State
Board.
Beginning with an explanation of
the deadly nature of bichloride of
mercury, the bulletin will discuss
means of keeping it without danger
to those in the home where it is used.
More pointed probably will be a dis
cussion of likely measures, to restrict
the sales of the drug, or to provide
for-its saleamly upon prescription and
for an avowed useful purpose.
Home Treatment Suggested.
Home treatment of mercury poison
ing will be considered fully. Dis
cussing the subject yesterday, Dr. E.
R. .Park, of {he Board of Health, of
fered the following suggestion as to
an antidote: “One of the best anti
dotes of mercury is the white of eggs
— the white of one egg to every two
grains of the chemical taken into the
stomach.”
It is explained that if too much al
bumen is introduced the chemical is
likely to dissolve it instead of coagu
lating it. However, while the phy
sician is on his way the introduction
of eggs and milk into the stomach is
the first step, and after that the
emetic or the stomach pump.
The bulletin will discuss the sub- j
ject fully. It will show that bichlo- j
ride of mercury, which is commonly
known as corrosive sublimate, is one
of the most powerful poisons known.
It is used as a disinfectant and phy
sicians make free use of it in steriliz
ing their hands and their surgical in
struments. The common form in
which it is sold is in 7%-grain tablets.
The standard formula for antiseptic
solutions is one part of bichloride of
mercury to 1,000 of water.
The poison is colorless, usually, but
manufacturers, in order to prevent it
from being mistaken for water, add ,o
the tablet some mineral or vegetable
coloring matter, usually green or blue.
This gives a tinge to the solution and
serves to draw attention to the tablets
themselves and to impress upon the
customer that here is something un-‘
usual in their composition.
Tablet Peculiarly Deadedly.
“The bichloride of mercury tablet, ’
said an Atlanta druggist yesterday,
“Is peculiarly deadly, because it is
compounded with some other chemi
cal usually to increase its solubility.
The bichloride is not readily dissolved
in water. The surgeon is usually in
a hurry and can not wait tor the slow
process of making a solution. For that
reason the pharmaceutical chemists
incorporate a little ammonia chloride.
To hold the tablet together, a little
inert binding material is used. This
makes a tablet containing the 7Va
grains of bicholride weigh about £0
grains. It is a sizable enough lozenge,
and one which a man who had his
mind on what he was doing would
look at twice before swallowing.
“Many methods have been suggest
'd for protecting the public from in-
jiftV from the bichloride and similar
poisons. Occasionally advocates ap
pear of the spiked or corrugated bo T -
ties. One of the appliances consisted
of a small lead or wooden ball at
tached to a chain suspended from the
neck of the bottle. There have been
bottles invented with peculiar stop
pers. These appliances, however, wilt
never takp the place of continuous
alertness and. indeed, many pharma
cists think that they breed a con
tempt for danger or a familiarity
which may lead to serious conse
quences. The druggist must be con
tinually on the alert and the layman
can not be too careful as to the man
ner in which he uses poisonous sub
stances."
No Restriction on Sale.
Under the Georgia State laws and
the local statutes, there are no re-
»tri< tions on the sale of the antiseptic
bichloride tablets. Peculiarly, though,
a prescription must be obtained when
it is desired to purchase powdered j
corrosive sublimate, which is the
identical substance in a different form
Several druggists of Atlanta have
ventured the opinion that the tablets
should be sold in bottles of distinctive
form, and that a regulation requiring
this would be desirable.

PLENTY HAWK TO
U
Miss Madeline Sullivan Hears
the News With Much
Indifference.
CHICAGO, May 31.—The news that
“Plenty Hawk” is to wed a squaw
was received with indifference by
Miss Madeline Sullivan, who once
hoped to marry him.
Plenty Hawk, richest of all the
Crow Indians, has taken out a license
to marry a former squaw of Medi
cine Hat. Nor two years ago it took
the combined efforts of Miss Sulli
van’s mother and the Federal author
ities to prevent the young girl from
marrying the Indian. Following her
wild prank she roped papier* mache
steels and perforated glass balls with
a seven shooter on the vaudeville
stage for the edification of those that
responded to the Wild West posters
on the billboards.
“I have just returned from Palm
Beach.” said Miss Sullivan,
wearily. “Really. 1 had forgot
ten all about that childish escapade.
So Plenty Hawk is to be married,
i am glad to hear it. He was a
good Indian, but, really, I can’t be
lieve that he is to be married, be
cause I know that he has one legal
wife nou You see, it would be quite
impossible. 1 i n sorry if it pro
vents him from marrying son e cn*
of his choice. No, I oever heard of
this Medicine Hat woman, I don’t
know whether -he is a white woman
or an In Man.”
Miss Sullivan lead with renewed
interest the despatch from Sheridan,
which carried the information that
Plenty Hawk had taken out.a license
to marry Mrs. Meoicine Hat, but that
<>ne Catholic priest had refused to
marry the couple because they lacked
permission from the priest on the
reservation. Plenty Hawk’s bride-to-
be was decked out in a costume val
ued at $5,500, which was said to con
tain several thousand elk teetli wov
en in cloth. Mrs. Minnie Kirchberg
Sullivan, the girl's mother, also was
interested in the news.

Court Is Expected to Free Mrs.
Bowne, Who Fled on Tramp
With Young Mott.
NEW YORK, May 31.—Divorce No.
2. the .latest of the many acts in the
Manning-Bow ne-Mott domestic
drama, is about to be staged before
the Chancellor in Trenton, X. J,
where Walter Bowne sued Frances
Hewitt Bowne for divorce, naming
Jordan Lawrence Mott III, as co
respondent.
From Hongkong. China, word came
yesterday to Mrs. Bowne’s counsel.
Maurice Meyer, that service of the
complaint had been made on her.
This means that the former Casino
actress* will be free to be married to
young Motr—when the-consent of nil
wife and the courts is won. But Mrs.
Mott, who was Carolyn Pitkin, of
Braintree, Mass., said a few months
ago that on account of their child
sne would not now sue for divorce.
Father Seeks Estrangement.
Bowne’s future domestic plans are
not known. It is supposed he figured
as co-respondent in the divorce which
John P. Manning obtained from Adele
T. Manning after a fist right between
Manning and Bowne in the Hotel
Martinique, where Bowne was 'hav
ing luncheon with the wife of his
friend Manning.
Mr. Meyer told a reporter that
young Mott and Mrs. Bowne were
living in Hongkong, and that they
would be married when all obstacles
were removed. Nevertheless, it is
known that .Jordan Lawrence Mott.
Jr., persists in his efforts to break
up the infatuation of hie son for the
beautiful woman with whom he eloped
in May, 1912.
The young couple fled on an oceai
tramp. Mott shipped as purser of the
vessel while Mrs. Bowne was rated as
stewardess, the ship being a freighter
exclusively.
At that time the father commis
sioned Hector Fuller, former war cor
respondent and theatrical agent, to
cha’se the runaways and held up a
prize of $25,000 for Fuller if he would
bring back Jordan L. Mott III to
New York City.
Newspaper Man Misses Reward.
The newspaper man failed after a
chase half-way around the w’orld via
Gibraltar. Since then the son of the
New York millionaire manufacturer
has vainly striven to break up the
estrangement which has disorganized
several households.
Although young Mott has visited
New York voluntarily, he remains un
swerving in his devotion to the
charming woman with whom he was
smitten when as Frances Gibson she
sang the role of Nadine in “The Choc
olate Soldier." Before going on the
stage Mrs. Bowne had been noted
in athletics, gaining particular fame
as a cowgirl in the West.
NORMAL STUDENTS TO DIP

WINONA, MINN.. May 31.—The
Winona and La Crosse normal schools

important one. The animal roamed
North America, before the glacial

Salaries of Pedagogues Have Not
Kept Pace With Times, Declare
Government Investigators.
By SIDNEY ESPEY.
WASHINGTON. May 31—The
manner in which the high cost of liv
ing has* affected school teachers has 1
received the attention of the United
States Bureau of Education From !
the reports on the progress of the in- ;
quiry, it Is to be gathered that som-' i
of the pedagogues are in a pretty bad j
w ay.
To begin with, the bureau declares
that the average school teachers sal
ary is about the same as that of the
average working man or mechanic.
But it is pointed out that the school
teacher must meet more diverse, and
in many caves* greater, expenses than
the working man.
Demand on Teachers Heavy.
Community demands, says the bu
reau. are greater upon the school
teacher. A school teacher must wear
more expensive clothing and a great
er variety of it than the working
man. The school teacher must live
in a house in keeping with the houses
of other professional persons and
must frequent the same places of
amusement, such as high-priced the
aters, concerts and the like.
In fact, many superintendents of
schools and Stale superintendents
make recommendations which are
construed by many teachers as being
very near to orders to attend such
performance?* in order that they may
be able to discuss them with their
pupils In school. The teachers are
expected to purchase books and pic
tures and to pursue their own stud
ies. oftentimes taking special post
graduate university courses in the
evening*'. In order to increase the ef
ficiency of their labors. All this ex
pense, however, is not taken into con
sideration. says the Bureau of La
bor. by those who pay teachers their
salaries and. therefore, the teacher
is in a bad way.
Salaries Not With Times.
As to the effect of the high cost
of living, the bureau shows that the
$600 a year school teachers of to-day
are receiving what would have been
equivalent to a $410 a year salary in
1897. because of the great difference
in the purchasing power of money,
now and then. If measured by 1897
prices the $1,000 a year school teach
er of to-day is getting a remunera
tion of only $693. It is true, the Bu
reau of Education says that the tables
of statistics on file will show that
teachers’ salaries have been increased
but the other tables, those relative j
to the high cost of living, will show
that the cost of living has been run
ning a race with the salary raises
and has won.
Boy Scares Off Bandit:
Saves Friend's $600
Armed Hold-Up Man Put to Flight
When He Hears J*Use Your

NEW YORK), May 31.—A boy’s

revolver?” yesterday saved Benjamin
Urdang, a wealthy furrier, of No. 8
Twelfth Avenue. Paterson. N. J.,
from being robbed of $600 in cash
by an armed hold-up man.
The question was asked by 10-

up.
The boy was hidden from view at
the time, and his voice caused the

That the time will come when har

was the startling statement made to
day by a well-known naturalist.
Charles Kellogg, at a meeting of the
city school teachers.
According to Kellogg, there is a
certain vibration between perrons, the
same as vibrations between wireless
telegraph stations. The pitch of this
vibration between any two persons
must vary, and Kellogg's idea is that
before a man and woman should mar
ry they should be in “tune" with each
other and thereby have mutual under

Prospector Who Had Nothing at
All Once Makes Lucky
Strike.
SIOUX FALLS. S. DAK,. May IM.
From a poor prospector in the Black
Hills of South Dakota to one of the
mining kings of Nevada, with every
prospect of ultimately being a multi
millionaire. is the remarkable story of
Joseph F. Nenzel.
Only a few* years ago he was en
gaged in prospecting. His attention
was attracted to the unexplored min
ing grounds in Nevada, with the re
sult that he is now known as the
father of the mining camp of Roches
ter and has wealth piling up on
him.
Not Discoverer.
Nenzel does not claim to be the
real discoverer of the district or the
rich mines on Nenzel Mountain. The
credit belongs to Uharles E. Stevens,
his father-in-law. who originally
went to Nevada in search of health
in the rarefied air of the Humboldt
Mountains.
While occupying his leisure time in
prospecting Stevens discovered the
rich silver outcropping of quartz ore.
Then he returned to South Dakota
and informed Nenzel of the big quartz
ledge, he had found.
Stevens, his brother, and a man
named Hytch Stevens returned to
Nevada and located the ground under
the mining law's. At that time Nenzel
had no Interest in the property. He
finally went to Nevada and set to
work exploring that portion of the
Humboldt range in which Steven
Troughs is located.
Hutch Stevens was killed in an ac
cident near Stevens Point property
at the summit of what now is known
as Nenzel Peak, and the ground re
verted to the government. A short
time later Nenzel located the same
ground under the mining laws, tak
ing in as partners Charles E.
Stevens. Peter C. Stevens and Cam
Stevens. Assessment work was kept
up, but some difficulty arose over
handling the property. Cam Stevens
wishing to fix terms and prices which
the others considered unsatisfactory.
So finally to settle the dispute. Nen
zel induced his partners to sell their
interest in the mine to him. After
this was accomplished Nenzel pro
ceeded to incorporate.
Leases Given.
With the filing of the incorporation
papers leases were given and the de
velopment of the property com
menced in earnest. Thousands upon
thousands of dollars were turned
loose. Mining men grabbed the leases
with avidity, and to-day great ac
tivity is being shown on Nenzel
Mountain. Many of the lessees are
working continuous shifts, and the
tunneling, drilling, blasting, sinking,
drifting, stopping, and sacking of ore
is being carried on without inter
rupt iofl.
All this happened in two months.
From a deserted canon Rochester has
grown up into a mining camp of fully
3.000 persons.
Nenzel does not know how much
he is actually worth. Only a few
days ago he refused an offer for his
stock in and control of the parent
company, it would have made him
A millionaire.

Historic Oregon to
End Days as Target
Famous Battleship, Regarded as
Obsolete by Experts, Wanted by
Officers for Experiments.
WASHINGTON, May 3*—Naval
officers having failed in their effort
to have the battleship Oregon sold as
Junk, now propose to use her. as well
ns her siKer ships, the Indiana and
the Massachusetts, as targets, to be
fired upon by the heavy batteries of
modern dreadnoughts, as was the old
battleship Texas a year or two ago.
Inasmuch as the Oregon is n<
longer on the active navy list and is
regarded ns obsolete by nava> ex
perts, It is doubtful if this historic
ship ever again will be called upon
for service in battle. Because of this
fact, ordinance officers are desirous
of using her for a target. 1n order that
naval experts can gather additional
Information a?- to the effect of mod

upon heavy armored warships.
If this recommendation Is carried
out it Is probable thai the Massachu- |

Minister's Resignation Explained
When Relations With "Miss
Blank" Are Related by Wife.
NEW YORK, May 31.—The mys-
tery that had surrounded the Rev.
Henry A. Buell’s resignation as pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Wash
ington, N. J., on May 4. was cleared
away yesterday by his wife. He had
given no hint of his reasons. Now
she announces that she is about to
sue for divorce, naming the daughter
of a Philadelphia clergyman. This
young woman's friendship with Mr.
Buell was based, the two explained,
upon "religious enthusiasm."
“Miss Blank” Close Friend.
Withholding the name of the wom
an she accuses, and mentioning her as
"Miss Blank.” Mrs. Buell made the
following statement yesterday.
“She and I were the closest of
friends, both being interested in mis
sionary work in Philadelphia. It was
I who introduced her to Mr. Buell.
My husband was instantly drawn to
the woman by her charming ways
and brilliant wit. During her visits
to Washington they were very inti
mate. and seemed greatly interested
in church work; at least, they made
me believe that this was the case.
He Quieted Her Fears.
“At various times certain things
happened that aroused my suspicions,
but when 1 referred to them my hus
band quieted my fears by assuring
me that the friendship was inspired
by religious enthusiasm.
Watched the Kissing.
“Thus the affair went on until
about February 13. Mr. Buell and the
woman being in each other’s company
a great deal. They were often to
gether in the study, excusing them
selves on the ground that they were
conferring upon religious subjects.
The evening of February 20. I came
upon my husband and Miss Blank’
in the hall of the parsonage. They
were kissing, or I thought so."
Mrs. Buell says that she thereupon
ordered the other woman from the
parsonage and she and her husband
agreed to separate.
“This led to his sudden resignation
two weeks ago,” Mrs. Buell continued.
"When we parted, Monday of this
week, he cried: blit of course [ shall
never have anything further to do
with him.
' I have letters in my possession
which Mr Buell received from Miss
Blank.’ They are of the most endear
ing nature, and I shall use them in
divorce proceedings. She sent him
candy kisses too. Once I opened a
letter he had ready for mailing to her.
In it he addressed her as My own
precious baby girl.’ ”
