Leipsic, Oct. 2o-Five lions belong ing to an American circus obtained their freedom in the streets of Leip- sic, last night, owing to a collision be- tween street car and their cage while it was on the way to the rail- road station after a performance.

One of the lions entered a hotel. rushed upstairs and proceeded along the corridors, driving the visi- tors before 1t into their rooms. It was some time before policemen ar- rived and shot the animal. The four others also were shot and killed, in various parts of the city. Nobody was attacked by the lions.

SPRUNG BY PROSECUTION
 IN MURDER TRIAL

Kiev, Russian. Oct. 2o--A surprise was sprung by the prosecution, to- day, during the trial of Mendel Beiltss for the alleged murder of the Ehris- tioi boy Andrew Y ushinslxys in March, 1911.
 Documents were produced from the police department to counter the evidence that the men, Landau and Ettinger, who had been said to be implicated in the crime, were merely harmless visitors to Kev and quite unconnected with the murder. The books of the department showed that Landau and Ettinger were common names and that on several occasions Austrian and Russian subjects with these names had crossed the frontier in 1910 and 1911. These persons, it was adduced, included Israel Landau, who crossed the frontier in October, 19ao. and re-crossed on March 28. 1911s a few days after the discovery of the murder.
 According to the police. Israel Lan- dau was in Kiev on March 24 The witness, Landau. testified that his father, Israel Landau had died in 1904 at Kiev and was buried in the Jewish cemetery. He also swore that he did not know of any Israel Landau or any other Landaus outside of his family.

Government Report
 On Vaccine Specific
 For The White Plague

Washington, oct. 2o-Keen interest is being taken in the forthcoming re- ports of the government surgeons on the reported vaccine specific for tuber- culosis discovered by pr. Karl Won Ruckes of North Carolina. Past Assis- tant Surgeon G. B. Crow, of the navy, and Past Assistant Surgeon A. M. Stimson, of the public health ser vice, made the investigation and be- gan work on their reports today. Their findings are being carefully guarded.
 The dispatch of the two government experts to North Carolina followed the official investigation of the alleged Friedmann cure. Surgeon c. F. Stokes, of the navy, sent an expert to inves- tigate Von Fucke's claims and later the senate adopted a resolution calling for full inquiry into the physicians alleged discovery.
 It is feared that a joint report on the investigation may be delayed, as Dr. Stimson was forced to go to the na- val medical hospital on his return here. His condition is reported not to be serious,Y however
