DEAD
Plague Toll in New York Sets
New High Mark.
Patients Have Been Cured by
Adrenalin Treatment.

New York, Aug. All previous
mortality records in the epidemic of
infantile paralysis were broken today.
During the twenty-four hour period
ending at 10 a. m the plague killed
81 children in the greater city and
159 new cases were reported by the
health department. The great in
crease in death Is attributed to the
seasons worst heat wave.
Physicians leading the fight against
infantile paralysis breathed sigh of
relief with the announcement of the
first cure wrought by the newly dis
covered adrenalin treatment, on which
the specialists have built their hopes
of breaking the epidemic.
Monday there was discharged from
the New York Throat, Nose and Lung
hospital a baby boy who three weeks
ago was brought to the hospital ap-
parently doomed to either death or
the life of a helpless cripple. So COM
plete has been the child's cure that
specialists now hope the end of the
epidemic is in sight.
The announcement of J. R. Birm-
ingham, acting surgeon of the hospi-
tai, read:
1.-THE first patient was discharged
today. We have thirty more patients
in the hospital who are only waiting
the o. K. of the health department to
be discharged. All of them have been
cured by the use of the intra-spinal
injections of adrenalin recommended
by DR.. s. ]. Meltzer of the Rockefeller
institute

artillery and French ammunition that
enabled the Serbians to turn the only
decisive victory that the enemy has
won to date, the destruction Of an en-

Had Others Helped.
Had all the allies extended the same
timely and generous aid to Serbia and
Montenegro that France did, these
two countries would still be enjoying
their independence and the present
Salonika expedition would never have
been necessary
From a purely military standpoint,
France has rendered even greater aid
to her allies. So far back as the Bal
kan wars the remarkable efficiency of
French artillery had been demonstrate
ed. Germany began the war with an
abundance of heavy artillery but they
could not compete with the mechani-
cal perfection of the French guns or
the superiority of the French artillery

This was Frances great military Sc

has since shared it generously with
her allies.
French artillery officers early in the
war perfected the Russian artillery

FIND FIRST EVIDENCE
Ammunition Loader Says Black Tom
Fire Started in Box Cars.

Ammunition Loader Says Black Tom
Fire Started in Box Cars.
New York, Aug. What appears
to be the first real evidence regarding
cause of the Great Black Tom ex-
plosion that rocked New York, Jersey
City and nearby towns, and was heard
in five states Sunday, came this after
noon in a statement from John Kill
foyley, 1877 Baltic street, Brooklyn.
Kilfoyley worked unloading ammuni-
ton from freight cars Saturday.
In statement to Police Sergeant
O'Connor, of Jersey City this after
noon. Kilfoyley said the fire started
in ammunition loaded freight cars
and not on the johnson company's
exp1osive-carrying barge.
He, according to O'Connor, told the
following story:
"I worked late Saturday night I'M
loading freight cars. I was tired and
went to sleep about 500 yards from
the end of the peninsula. About one
o'clock some one wakened me saying
there was a fire. I looked and saw
it was in the freight cars.
Some time later I was knocked
unconscious by the first explosion
which am sure was the freight cars.
Then the stuff on the barget let CO."
If Kilfoyley is sure of his facts, he
probably will be the star witness at
any investigation, since 1t is important
to establish whether the fire started
in the freight cars or on the barge
belonging to the Johnson firm, which
was tied up at the Black Tom pier.

Two Men Filed on Same Land Near
Garden City-Ldlke Old Times.

Dodge City. Kan, Aug. IA race to
q government land office between two
men who wished to file on the same
piece of land was staged here in a
manner which strongly reminded old

Territory was opened for settlement.
The men met in the court house at
Garden City after each had filed their
affidavits of settlement and in the
conversation ensuing learned that they
had f1Sd on the same piece of land.
1t is a government rule that the first
applicant filing at the government
land office here would obtain possess

fact, started for this city in an auto
1lobile. TZis departure was learned Of
q feH minutes later and the other ap-
p1icant for the homestead started in
pursuit The three mile lead Of the
first applicant was kept until within
five miles of the land office. when a
burst tire sent the pursuer far in
the lead and into possession of the
coveted land. The trip was made at
the rate of a mile in two minutes. ac-
cording to the figures of the winner.
