TRY A new PLAN
Use Four Immune Animals to
Secure Serum.
DIR. SOphian Hopes to Find
Preventive for Horse Disease.

Four horses immune from the
strange disease in Kansas, have been
purchased by the state and will be
shipped to Kansas City, where expert
Inents will be made by DR.. A. Sophian,
of New York, in an effort to discover
a preventive or cure for the epidemic
that is now raging in four states.
These animals have been cured OF the
disease and are to be used as subjects
by DR.. Sophian in his effort to dis
cover serum of toxine for the cure
of the ma1ady.
1t was after rather fruitIess expert
Jnents in western Kansas that DR.. So
phian suggested the experiment on
horses immune from the disease. Last
week the state bought four immune
animals and will send them at once
to Kansas City. j. r. KoOntz, general
freight agent for the Santa Fe, will
to Kansas City free of charge to the
state. AS for the experiments by DR..
Sophian, he will donate his services
and laboratory work, the state pay ing
only actual expenses of the expert
ments.
over the long distance telephone to-
day, DR.. Sophian discussed his plans
with ]. H. Mercer, state live stock
sanitary commissioner. He seemed
confident that the Investigations would
reveal the discovery of some serum
that might be successfully used as
preventive if not an absolute cure
Dr. SOpnlan mas Deen WOTk1uS on Iue
Kansas Investigations for two weeks.
He was for several years with the Re-
search Laboratory of New York and
while visiting in Kansas City, came to
Kansas at the personal request of
Governor Stubbs. At first DR.. Sophian
believed that the disease among horses
would develop a connection with sim
liar disease among humans. While in
vestigations have not established this
fact, the theory has not been entirely
abandoned.
kilograms received by Mercer today
indicate little change in the state. So
far as is known, the disease has not
spread to new fields and in the east
ern counties is being fast stamped out.
From Sherman county Mercer received
a telegram stating that $50 horses
have died in that county and condi-
tions are worse. This was the only
unfavorab1e report received up to
o clock this afternoon.
Experts who have been working at
HoXie, will come to Topeka tomorrow
and will discuss the results of their
Investigations in western Kansas.

BurnIne Ceiluloid.

Burning celluloid is one of the most difficult and dangerous kinds of fire to extinguish. An investigation by Dr. PanZer of Vienna has shown that, while the substance does not ignite spontaneously, decomposition contin- ues after the flames of a piece of burn ing celluloid are extinguished and does not cease even when the material is plunged into a vessel of carbonic acid or steam. Oxygen from the air not be- ing necessary for decomposition, water and ordinary chemical extinguishers have little effect on celluloid fires. De composition. takes place at tempera- lures between 22O degrees and 365 de grees F.. and may be started by an open flame or even hot stove. When slowly heated the celfuloid first softens. then blisters and finally decomposes suddenly, sometimes bursting into flame. The products are gases, liquids and carbon The white fumes from combustion form an explosive mixture with air, and the colorless gases con- tain poisonous carbon nonoxide and nitrogen oxides. As these gases. ex- plosive and irrespirable. are intensely hot, moreover, it is almost impossible for firemen to get near celluloid blaze in building.

POTTER MAY BE |. TAKEN FIRST TO. KANSAS CITY, MO.

It rests between the local authori- ties and the U. s. post office inspector at Kansas City, whether Frank O.. Potter is brought to this city first or to Kansas City, to stand trial.
 The postal authorities at Kansas City want Potter for fraudulent use of the mails. The local authorities want him for the embezzlement of several hundred dollars from John Armstrong, Joel Wooster and Prof. James Atlas of this city. Potter is under arrest In Washington, and the Kansas City auth critics have the first claim upon him; but in case they decide that the Bridgeport case is stronger than their own, they will permit the local au- thorities to have first chance at the man.
 In any case, the authorities will Hay for'' Potter, and if he is taken to Kansas City, he will be rearrested for Bridgeport as soon as the other case is finished.
 Potter promoted the Shop and Lab- ratory Clothing Company" in this city, got Messrs. Wooster and Armstrong interested, and then made fraudulent use of their checks. He is also charg- ed with skipping a bill of $66 at the Hotel Atlas, with intent to defraud.

 Before the Great Architect of the Universe solemnly swear my inno- cence."

Bailey reported to the judge presiding that in his opinion the aspirant for le- gal honors had not duly qualified, hav- ing answered correctly but one of the questions put to him.
 "Only one question:" asked the judge "well, what was that one?"
 .T asked him what freehold estate is,' replied Bailey.

 Two men. one stranger in New York, stopped at an uptown news stand to buy papers.
