FINE TREE RUST
TO BE ROOTED OUT
Stale Inspection Will Be Start
ed by the Department of
Forestry at Once
Plans have been made for a thor- j
fu.'h inspection by the Department of
Karestry of every planting of white
line made in the State, to he started
this Spring as soon as possible. This
is an effort to prevent the white pine

Pennsylvania.
The disease was imported several I

Remarkable Discovery That Cuts

A Tree Trial Package is Mailed to
Cveryone Who Writes
A. JJ. Rice, a prominent manufac
turer of Adams, N. Y., has discovered
a process of making a new kind of
paint without the use of oil. He calls
it Powdrpalnt. It comes in the form
of a dry powder and all that is re
•juired is cold water to make a paint
weather proof, tire proof and as dur
able as oil paint. It adheres to any
surface, wood, stone or brick, spreads
and looks like oil paint and costs
about one-fourth as much.
Write to Sir. A. L. Rice, Manuf'r.,

will send you a free trial package, also
color card and full information show
ing you how you can save a good many

Eastern Railroads Plan
to Relieve Congestion
Special to the Telegraph
New York, March 23.—Representa
tives of eastern railroads and shippers
held a conference here yesterday to
consider freight congestion relief
measures recently undertaken by rail
road presidents and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner E. K. Clark, i
What is declared to be a conservative
estimate places the freight cars in this
vicinity at 125,000, which is said to be
25,000 more than a fortnight ago. Re
cent snowstorms have complicated the
situation. ,
A solution of the problem will be
sought, it is said, through a "semimili
tary scheme" for recording the move
ment of all commerce to and from the
East, and for arbitrary regulation of
traffic to expedite the movement of
perishable and other shipments and
the immediate return of empty cars.

FIND POISONER
IN DEEP STUPOR
[Continued lioni First Page.]
last night from representatives of his
office who went to Grand Rapids, in
cluding Dr. Otto H. Schultze, medical
examiner, who performed an autopsy
on Peck's body, which had been sent
'there soon after his death here on
March 12. To-day the district attor
ney Is understood to have received
further information bearing on the
case, which led to his decision to take
the man into custody.
While awaiting the arrival of Dr.
Waite the district attorney had under
examination Dora Heiler, a maid em
ployed in Dr. Waitc's home at the time
of the deaths there of Mr. and Mrs.
Peck.
It was given out by the distrclt at
torney's oftlce that Mr. Heiler had said
that on two occasions she saw Dr.
Waite pour something out of a bottle
into Peck's soup. Peck complained of
the taste, and Dr. Waite, she is stated
to have said, blamed the cook. On
another occasion, the maid was de
clared to have said, she saw Dr. Waite
pour something into Peck's tea.
Mrs. Peck died here suddenly on
! January 29. Her husband came to
New York a short time after her
death to console his daughter and died
on March 12. Until a day or two be
fore his death he had seemed to be
i in good heulth. Mr. Peck left an estate
j valued at more than $1,000,000
i divided equally between his (laughter,
Mrs. Waite, and his son, Percy Peck,
j of Grand Rapids.
The New York district attorney has
in his possession a telegram signed
"E." addressed to Percy Beck, which
first caused suspicions that Mr. Peck
did not die from natural causes. The
message said:
"Suspicions aroused. Dertand
autopsies. Examine body."
The local authorities have not an
nounced the names of the sender of
this telegram if they have discovered
it.
According to information received
by the district attorney from Grand
Rapids, effects, of the arsenic found in
Mr. Peck's stomach were noticeable
in the brain tissue, proof that the
poison was administered before death.
The undertaker who embalmed the
body In this city asserted that there
was no arsenic in his embalming
fluid.
Dr. Waite and his wife took Mr.
Peck's body back to Grand Rapids.
Mrs. Waite remained there at the
home of relatives, and reports from
Grand Rapids say that she has bteen
ill for several days, a physician at
tributing her condition to hysteria.
Dr. Waite returned to New York and
yesterday he had a long talk with the
district attorney regarding the case.
He declined to make any statement for
publication.
Dr. Waite declared that he had
been told that the police were investi
gating his fnther-in-law's death for
the first time last Monday. There
upon he said he had telegraphed to
his brother-in-law In Grand Rapids,
i demanding an autopsy.
