showing the comparative safety Of nitro
giycerine when handled scientifically"
DR.. Lehman referred to the new act
of Assembly, quoted last week by Mr..
Quirk, the superintendent OF police, in
issuing a general order on this subject to
heutenauts, and which says:
THAT from and after the passage OF
this act any person or persons manu-
featuring OF selling frecrackers contain
-ing dynamite, chlorate Of potash. or any
explosive except that containing ordinary
gunpowder. composed OF saItpetre. sui
phur. and charcoal, shall be guilty OF q
raisdemeanor, and. upon conviction there
Of shall be sentenced to pay a fine OF not
less than $50 and not more than 800, or
by Imprisonment for a term of not less
than six months and not more than one
year, or both. at the discretion OF the
court
It viii be noticed that the law. as above
quoted. mentions IreorackerS. ana not
torpedces- Dr. Lehman. however. be-
heves that any judge would construe the
word ''f1reCrackeTs' to mean any small
noisy fireworks.
The spirit Of the law" he said. is
violated by the sale of these torpedoes.
and the letter Of the law by the safe Of
the frecrackers
Another danger OF these mixed expIo-
siyes, Dr. Lehman says. is the peculiar
character Of the wounds they produce.
and which soon develop into lockJaw.

DR. Henry Lehman, the weli-known

dren whom he sent to a store for that
purpose The cannon crackers. Dr. Left

the torpedoes for a cent a piece.
The crackers have been given various
fancy OF patriotic names. The torpedoes
are wrapped in paper end tinfoiI, ard con-
tain a mixture of ehlorate of potash, an
timony sulphide and sulphur. This was
the very mixture as reported in the anal

the expIos sion ia the Italian quarter, on

UNCONSCIOUS FROM GAS
A Mystery Concerning Two Greeks
in baltimore.

BALTIMORE. June 29.-Two Greek fruit
and candy dealers were found in a dying
condition yesterday from the effects OF
having inhaled illuminating gas in a small
room back of their store at 2SG North Ere
mont Avenue. One Of the Greeks is be-
lieved to be Treadafelos Skaves, while
the other was identified late in the aft
ernoon as Peter Saketis-
Within a short time after their cendi-
ton had been discovered the Greeks were
removed in the Western ambulance to the
Maryland University Hospital DR. George
W. Stuart, the superintendent, gives lit
tie hope for the recovery of Skaves, who
he says took some drug before inhaiing
the gas The condition of Saketis is
somewhat better.
When the police entered the store a
short time after o'clock in the morning
three gas burners in different parts of the
room were open one Of the burners was
in the bow window and another was in
the store. n the small room back of
the store, where the Greeks were found,
the tube had been taken out and the gas
was escaping in large quantities. 1t
would seem impossible that he three
burners could have been turned on ac-
cidontaIly. Mrs. Christina Brow, who oc-
cup:es the third and fourth floors, could
thr- no light on the mystery She told
the police that skaves had occupied the
first floor since June /
Ms. Brow said she first detected the
odor of gas short time after o'clock.
She did not pay much attention. not sus-
pectiHg that there was anything wrong
on the first floor. The Greeks had been
sitting on the front pavement between Il
and y o'clock Thursday night and there
seemed nothing unusual about their de-
meanor. The smell of gas finally became
so strong about $50 O'Clock tnat Mrs
Brow called Patrolman Schley, of the
Western district He found the two
Greeks insensibIe on the floor. Skaves
had evidently fallen from . pallet at one
end Of the room, while his companion was
lying across the narrow doorway which
separates the room and the store.
Sergeant Trott later made a thorough
examination Of the premises and found a
bottle oe liquid labeled poison He found
also tn naturalization papers taken out
by Skaves. as wei as large number OF
letters all Of which were written in
