Dec. 31.'—Charged ' with selling the liquor responsible i for seven deaths from wood alcohol j poisoning in' Passaic, N. J., Do 1 Cicero, proprietor of an Elizabeth street grocery store, was arrested at 1 his home early to-day. A technical J charge of selling wood alcohol for beverage purposes has been made 1 against him. A search of the prisoner's home ' resulted, the police say, in the seiz- ■ ure of a barrel of liquor, live five-, 1 gallon tins of supposed whisky and ' two three-gallon bottles, one con- 1 taining whisky and the other un- 1 diluted wood alcohol. The arrest of Cicero followed 1 closely after that of Herman Morris ' and Frank Hopper, in Passaic last 1 night. The Passaic police claim that ' Cicero sold the poisoned whisky to 1 Hopper, who sold it to Morris, and < that Morris in turn disposed of it to Passaic saloonkeepers. Hopper i and Morris were brought to this city early to-day and identified ' Cicero as* the man from whom the ] liquor was purchased, according to i the police. i Three Women and Man Are Believed to Be Wood Alcohol Victims Philadelphia, Dec. 31. Focal au- • thorities to-day were investigating the deaths of three women and a man believed to have been victims of , wood alcohol. Their bodies were found last night in a rooming house . here and the police believe they tied on Saturday, when they were last ' seen. It was announced at the hos pital where the bodies were taken . that death was due t. alcoholic poison ' but that it would take a chemical ex amination of the bottle found in the . room to determine whether the vie- , tims drank wood alcohol. The au- j thorities have located another man who was in the room Saturday, ar.d who. they say, took two drinks from , the bottle and was almost blinded. The fact that one of the women i was reported to have come rrom New J York leads the police to believe that, she brought the liquid which caused their deaths from that city. The discovery of the four bodies increased the number of suspected 1 wood alcohol victims in this city and vicinity to six. | Six New Arrests Are Made in Connecticut By Associated Press Now Haven, Conn., Dec. 31.—Six : more arrests in connection with 1 the sale or manufacture of liquor constituted ttie tangible develop- i ments in Connecticut to-day in the investigation of wood alcohol poison cases.

The two others a.yrested to-day I were Angelo Amato and Sulvatore Kspesito. of this city, who are held for questioning by the authorities ill regard to the distribution of poison liquor. Nine others are un der arrest here on various charges, , while the police and revenue agents continue their inquiry into the wood alcohol liquor traffic.

He urged that the United States give moral support to the German gov ernment in its effort to down the "red" element in that country. "In German cities 1 have seen crowds about grocery store win dows," said Mr. Rich, "where under glass cases American food was [ placed on view as a curiosity.
