Elizabeth, N. J., July 21.—The manner in whieh Warden Charles W. Dodd, of the county jail broke a hunger strike yesterday may set a useful example, he thinks, to the keepers of English prisons who become custodians of suf- fragettes. William Turner, 4a negro prisoner, sought to gain his liberty by refusing to eat, Yesterday morning the man had been forty-eight hours with- out food when Warden Dodd tp peared at the door of his cell with a steaming ptate of fried chicken and a large section of a juicy watermelon. One sniff and Turner's hunger strike ended. Cieaners, tf Pantorium Pioneer Phone 4. CHASE HEADACHES ~ MATHIEU S wae NERVINE POWDERS.
