BOISE CHILD REX'S SICKNESS DUE to FORMALDEHYDE. Idaho State Pure Food Commissioner Determined to Find Dairymen to IHarue for Poisoning. BOISE. Idaho. May . (Special.) The mysterious and dangerous Illness of 15 children. Inmates of the Children's Home, resulted In an investigation to day on the part of State Pure Food Commissioner Wallls and a fores of dep uties with the result that the startling discovery was made that the cause was due to formaldehyde, used In the ml IK given to the children. This was proved through an analysis by Stat Chemist Mason. The children, ranging In age from 1 to C years, have been rescued from what Is believed might have been death through the quick use of medicine to counteract the effect of the poison. A majority of them appear to be recovering, but a number are still very ill. It Is no' known beyond question that the poison was In the milk, the same being used to keep it sweet. All that prevents im mediate arrest Is the fact that several dslrymert have been delivering milk at the Institution and It Is difficult to fix the blame. Wallls declares the esse is one of the worst that has been called to his atten tion, and that it is a miracle the for maldehyde did not causa deaths among the children immediately upon drinking the milk. He Is determined to mske an example of the guilty dairymen. U. OF 0. MEN .QUIT RACE Hawkins and Johns Withdraw In Favor of Moores. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Or, May 3. (Special.)

The McNamara brothers, with hands manacled behind them, were taken Into court by Sheriff Hammel and three of his deputies. Hut for the evident pale ness of. the prisoners, they seemed in good health and in perfect command of themselves. Assistant District Attorney Ford asked them if John J. McNamara and James B. McNamara were their true names. "Yes. sir." answered the brothers, al most in unison. Then Ford informed them that they had been, accused by the grand Jury of the crime of murder and asked If they were represented by counsel. "We are." the two replied. Ford then read to them all of the 19 Indictments charging them with the murder of the employes of the Times plant.

When the read ing of the first indictment was finished Assistant District Attorney Ford turned to the accused secretary of the Iron Workers' Association. "J. J. McNamara, he asked, "are you guilty or not guilty?" , District Attorney Fredericks started almost out of his seat, raised a hand and said "No." Then Attorney Rappaport ' rose and asked th court for time to enter the pleas. "Considering the Importance of the case and the distance which It may be necessary to bring witnesses." he said. I want to' ask for as much time ss possible. I would like to have 30 days before the pleas are entered." If you are allowed an unusual time to enter the pleas," said Fredericks, "will you waive the provision of the statute which declares that the men must be tried within (0 days after they are arraigned?" Rappaport signified his willingness and the District Attorney said he would consent to the pleas being made June 1. Rappaport said he would be content with that, and Judge Bordwell fixed the time as 10 o'clock on the morning of June 1.

McNamara of plac ing explosives at the Llewellyn Iron Works, and asked the court to fix ball. Fredericks said that as McNamara also was Indicted on murder charges, un bailable offenses. It would be useless for the court to fix ball on the dyna miting accusations. The court announced that as to the murder charges, 'if it were to make an order at that time, it would be that the men be held without ball. Rappa port answered that he was raising the point to avoid doing so at a later date. Judge Bordwell asked the District At torney what amount he would suggest if ball were to be allowed. Fredericks answered that the matter was merely speculative, but he could make a sug gestion. . , "I should say about ne began. Then he thought several minutes and concluded by saying that he would look up th matter and tell the court bis views. It was agreed that the judge,' the prosecution and the defense should hold a conference at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Court was then adjourned and the men were returned to their cells. The indictments were reported to court by the grand jury this morning, together with the transcript of the vast mass of testimony. The District At torney asked that the contents of the transcript be kept secret, as publica tion would seriously Impede efforts to obtain an unprejudiced Jury. He asked Judge Bordwell to use his efforts with the attorneys for the defense to that end. Wallace Benson Accepts Position. SALEM, Or. lace Benson, , May 6. (Special.)
