PARLIAMENT OPENS WITH RIOT
HUNGARiANS SHOW MARKED
FRACTIONAL FEELING.
Efforts Of President to Restore Order
Unavailin0-Free Fight Mar
rowIy ,Averted.

| Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 18.-The
opening session of the Hungarian par
lament was marked by wild out
burst of factional feeling which only
was prevented from becoming free
fight through the Intervention Of party
leaders.
The uproar began as soon as Count
Stephen Tisza, the president Of the
lower house entered the chamber. He
was received with cries of derision
and abuse, mingled with kissing and
| whistling. The president treated the
opposition outburst with Indifference,
but all his efforts to restore order
were unavailing. His calls for atten-
ton only caused the disorder to break
out with renewed violence. Not a
word could be heard in the chamber
or in the press gallery above the or.
ganized din.
The royal decree opening the SEES
sion was read without anybody hear
ing word of it and 1t was followed
by what looked likely to develop into
free fight.
An opposition member tauntingly
asked deputy Of the governmental
party whether he had his revolver
with him. That almost started riot
and the members were about to come
to blows when Count Julius Andrassy
and the other leaders interviewed and
separated the deputies who had
threatened each other. The tumult,
however, continued. Only few
spectators were in the chamber and
neither police nor military forces ap-
peared, although disorder had been
anticipated.

GERM OF HORSE
PLAGUE IS FOUND
Discovered by Scientists Of Kansas at
Hoxie Experiment Station.
KNOWN IN GERMANY Is YEARS
Never Before Recognized In This
Country-Tests In Field Station
Now to Find Curative
Serum.

Hoxie, Kan, Sept. 18.-The germ
that causes the disease in horses
which is sweeping Kansas. Nebraska
and other states has been found by
the scientists of the Kansas agricul'
tural college, who are working In q
field station here. 1t Is germ new
to the psychologists of this country
and, as yet, has been only temporarily
classified as germ of the pasteurella
group.
The story of how the germ was
found is an interesting one at this
time, especially as it is the first time
1t has been found in this country, and
the discovery is doubly important be-
cause it definitely fixes the horse
plague as Borna's disease, kind of
cerebro-spinal meningitis. we'll known
in Germany the last rs years, but new
er before recognized in this country.
It also emphasizes the uselessness OF
all the hundreds of so-called remedies
which have been recommended by
different persons.
fOunQ IN all bSdO noVoSos
Soon after the horse plague began
to spread the Kansas agricultural col
lege in Manhattan established field
station in Hoxie to study the disease.
In the first post norton of a horse
that had died of the disease DR.. Has
lam found some organisms he had
never seen before, and in the first
seven post mortems of diseased horses
he and DR.. Jackley, working lnde-
pendently on the same cases, found
the same strange organism.
Having found this germ in each OF
the seven horses we examined that
had died Of this plague" said DIR. Has
lam, 1--WE decided it was the cause OF
the disease. And may add that we
found in all the diseased horses we
have examined since.
1--WE then decided to try out bac-
term therapy and see If horses could
be vaccinated and immunized against
this germ, and if SO, if they would be
free from the disease afterwardN~
Still Seeking a Preventive.
So far the tests at the field station
in Hoxie have not gone far enough to
prove anything definite enough to war
rant the scientists in recommending
the bacterin treatment. They are
now using it, however, upon a large
number Of horses.
The fact that 16 of the horses de-
veloped the disease after vaccination
and that all but two of them recov-
cred, is taken to indicate that the bac-
term treatment is effective. as the
percentage of recoveries ordinarily
is only about 10 per cent.
But" says DR.. Haslam, 1--WE claim
nothing vet. We claim only that what
we are doing is the only logical thing
to do in an effort to find preventive
for this disease"

FIRE MAY HIDE KANSAS MURDER
Body of Aged Man Discovered on Bed
In Burned Farmhouse Near
Ransomville.

Ottawa, Kan, Sept. 1S.-When three
neighbors reached the stone farm
house of William Marks. near Ran
somyille, at 1880 o'clock in the morn
ing to check fire which they had dis
covered there, the body of Mr.. Marks
was found on the bare bedsprings. the
he'd clothing having been burned from
under it. Mr.. Marks, who was rs
years old, lived alone in the house. A
son and a daughter live within few
miles on other farms. The son, VII
liam Marks, Jr., called on his father
early IN the evening and was the last
one known to have seen his father.
The body was so badly burned that
it is impossible to determine whether
Mr.. Marks may have been shot and
the house set fire to cover the crime.

Temporary Capitol Nears Com.
pletiOn

jefferson City, No., Sept. 14.-1n
its present incomplete stage the huge
structure which is being erected in
the east end of the Capitol grounds to
house the Forty-seventh State Assem-
bly,, which convenes early next Janu-
airy, looks anything but picturesque
with its wooden uprights and sheath
ing showing, but workmen are grad
ually bringing about a transformation,
and at the end Of December will turn
over a presentable edifice.
The building is only temporary, it
being intended for use during the
three or four years required to build
the new 100000 Capitol. While
entirely of wood, the outside and in
side walls will be finished off with
stucco and made as nearly fireproof
as possible.
1t is three stories high, with the
Senate chamber and the House on the
second floor and committee rooms on
the ground and the third floors. The
building will be plenty large enough
for the purpose for which it is intend
ed, and it's white walls and overlap
ping cornice will give an imposing
appearance from any direction.
After the Legislature concludes its
labors the building will be occupied
by the departments which are now in
buildings on the newly acquired addi-
ton to the south, which are to be torn
down to give more building room in
that direction.
