He Is Charged With ;
Causing the Death of j'
Seven More Persons I 1
By Associated Prtss *
New York. 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

AUSTRIA FACES
CRITICAL YEAR!
Both Political and Economic I
Situations.Have Grown
Worse
Vienna. Dec. 31.—The Austrian
republic faces its second year with
foreboding. Both the political and
economic situations are believed \
here to have grown daily worse since j
early Autumn.
The holiday season found Vienna j
with a reduced bread ration, virtu
ally no fats and without fuel. The I
expected supply of coal from Cze- I
chorSlovakia has not been received
and public utilities were kept partly |
in operation only by great efforts
and economies.
High hopes had been entertained j
from the visit of Chancellor Renner]
to the Supreme Council at Paris.
The people expected that Austria
would obtain sufficient credit, food,
fuel and .raw material for the re
sumption of their industrial life.
Now that tlie result of his journey
has become known the newspapers
sound a note of despair. One of j
them remarks that the decision of j
the Supreme Council that Vorarl-1
berg may not separate from Austria j
means that that province is con-1
demned to suffer along with the rest
of Austria until the ordinary native
will have hardly sufficient for food
and clothing becomes a luxury for
even tlie comparatively well-to-do.
Other provinces are seeking to
free themselves from the burdens of
Austria and turn elsewhere for help.
There have been rumors of an im
pending revolt and declaration of
independence in Tyrol. It is charg
ed in some quarters that the whole
separation movement in the Aus
trian provinces has been inspired by
German propaganda with a view to
establishing a corridor between Ger
, many and Austria.
While Austria seems unable to ob
tain foreign credit for rehabilita
tion, there has been much comment
here upon the fact that foreign
private capital has been diligently
exploiting the country. It is as
serted that the country has virtually
been stripped of articles deluxe
while its remaining factories are un
able to obtain raw materials. Ac
cording to common report, foreign
interests, principally Italian, have
acquired enormous holdings of stock
in Austrian industrials and mines.
The government is evenly bal
anced between Socialists and Con
servatives and tlius far has been un
able to give birth to constructive
legislation looking to the solution of
many internal problems facing the
country.
Find Hotel Looters
Are "Sleepwalkers"
New York. Dec. Si.—Silk pajamas!
jto back up a sleep walking alibi |
j were part of the equipment carried
by Harry Edward Shelley, self
styled soldier, actor and lecturer,;
and Maurice J. Gray, who were
brought before Magistrate Corrigau
in the Jefferson Market Court for
further examination on charges of
robbing guests of some of New
York's biggest hotels of jewels, furs
and other valuables worth thousands
of dollars.
Detectives of the AVest Thirtieth
street police station who arrested
the pair say that, pajamas were used
by Shelley and Gray to "dress the
act" when they feared interruption
in some raid on a hotel guest's room.
If caught in the room or sneaking
along a corridor they would be ably
to feign slumber and plead sleep
walking.
Another "property" of this fore
banded pair, as described by the de
tectives, was high power eyeglasses
which enabled them to estimate at
a distance the value of jewelry worn
by prospective victims.

Rich, formerly I'nited Slates con- !
sui at Chemnitz, Saxony, who lately I
returned from a five months' tour of I
Austria. Hungary and Germany, I
says children are starving by thou- '
sands in Europe.
What he had seen of the recon- j
struction and relief work done by
Americans made him proud of being
an American, Mr. Rich added. 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. Peo j
pie still obtain rations on 'food I
cards' and get. a quarter pound of
rice or coffee once every two
weeks."
