OF POISONING
President’s Illness Said Caused
by Crabs Put on Trans

tie Sitka donors for the unfortunate
occurrence as they did everything
possible to insure the wholesomeness
of the crabs in preparing them for
presentation followed the method
used for many years by dealers and
shippers of crustaceans. This is de
scribed by Dr. W. J. Johnston, of Sit
ka, in a telegram yesterday to The
Kmplre, as follows:
"Crabs presented Presidential par
ty at Sitka were taken and limned
lately cooked at Kisti Hay (July)
twenty first by ('apt. Pavalofl’ and
; Harry Ashbail, both cxp< lienced nil’ll,
; uniti-i* tin- supervision of committee,
j ill! ii placed in ice and delivered to
; transport. Greatest possible care
taken that no defective or contam
, iuated crab was in the lot."
Aleuts Are Poisoned
While tliis is the first instance
known of ptomaine poisoning result
ing from eating crabmeat from the
i Sitka district, official records show
that numerous deaths resulted from
1 eating sea mussels from that district.
The earliest ease on record is given
by William 11. Dali, lb bis account I
in 1ST0 tif ItiH Alaska voyage, Mr.
Dali said:
"In the year 17911 a party of about
Hint Aleut . hun'ers imported from
Kodiak Island encamped on n strait
between liaronof and Chichagof Is-1
lands where the tides are great and!
at low water great numbers of mus-1
sels are exposed. Being accustomed
to eat these at home, the Aleuts
collected a quantity and feasted up
on them. In a few hours they were
taken violently ill and 15 died with
in a day or two. This incident gave
I
rise to the name Peril (In llussiai
Poglbshi) Strait which name it bear
to this day."
In udditior) to this wholesale kill
ing, other occurrences are reports
where the loss in life lias beei
less.

to other fatalities are contained it

SAYS^IHSURANCE COMPANIES
CONFISCATE MONEY THROUGH
LAPSED POLICIES; IS WRONG

i Ing that. Insnrance rompanies have
! confiscated millions of dollars In
cause of lapsed payments by path y
! holders .Representative Thomas.
| Democrat., of Oklahoma, announced lie
would Introduce a biil in the next
Congress to guarantee to the public
“the full benefits under all insur
ance policy contract
I The (honey held by the companies.
Mr. Thomas said, consists of funds
which “rightfully belong to the es
tate of unfortunate persons who per-!
; m It tod their milch to lapse after j
1 making a sufficient number of an
I nual premium paymems to give their]
! policies n paid-up or extended in

Failure of these companies to fully
nJlvfsif pf^ifiv heft!’rs nr IV v.iVk
of their policies, Mr. Thomas said,
is responsible for the condition. Man)
who have permitted their policies tr
lapse, he saiii, do not know sneti
policies have a value If they have
cMiep iii force for more than Hirer
years, 'and the insurance companies,
taking advantage of the ignorance
fail to notify them of such value.’1
Mr. Thomas said lie had made nn
investigation on this subject, which
showed that “during the last 21
years, hundreds of thousands of pal
icyholders have permitted insurance
aggregating $10,000,000,000 • to lapse
and through failure to make clatinr
for the surrender of their insur
auce have permitted the companies
in effect, to confiscate hundreds o(
millions of dollars.”

Alaskan waters are not lined with

Ho said further that the ptomaine
| poisoning of the President was the
testilt of pure carelessness. Accord-1
lug to nil reports tlie crabs had hern
la storage at least a week prior to
the time they were eaton. Under
such conditions, le added, they were (
unfit for food and should not have|
been served. He also pointed out
that it is not customarily the prnc-'

and even when such food is moe*
popular, it is not used in these
