BIG GAS WELL IN TUNNEL
Cleveland May Be Compelled to Aban

Cleveland, Ohio, July 27.-The pos
sibility that the city may be compel
led to abandon not only search for
bodies of workmen still entombed in
the water.works tunnel here in Mon
day nights explosion but all further
work on the tunnel itself, loomed here
today as the result OF investigation by
l.. M. Jones of Pittsburg, government
mining expert. Jones believes a ma
tural gas well of uncomfortable pro-
portions has been uncovered under
the bed of the lake by the explosion.
If it is possible rescue parties will
enter the tunnel today. The entombed
bodies are behind a caye-in nearly 300
feet long. Special machinery will be
needed to penetrate this wall of muck.
1t will require several days to install
it if gas clears from the workings.
Water-works officials said today
they believed there were, only nine
bodies in the tunnel. instead OF eleven,
as previously stated. Two workmen
supposed to be entombed have turned
up alive. This reduces the total loss
of life to nineteen.
The city investigation reached ex-
animation of witnesses today.

Washington, July 27-Warning was
issued to the public today by the de-
partment OF agriculture to look with
extreme suspicion upon any prepara-
ton put on the market and offered for
sale as being effective for the treat
ment of infantile paralysis
Department officials charged with
the enforcement of the food and drug
act, an announcement states, expect
the outbreak of infantile paralysis will
tempt unscruplous persons to o.ier for
sale so-called cures or remedies for
dread malady. They therefore have
issued special instructions to food
and drug inspectors to be particularly
alert for interstate shipments or inn
portations of medicines, the makers of
which allege that they will cure or al
leviate this disease for which at the
present time no medical cure is
known"
Inspectors have been instructed TO
collect samples of all such medicine
found in interstate commerce and otii-
cials declare the makers will be vigor-
ously prosecuted whenever the situa-
tion warrants action under the food
and drug act Such remedies offered
for import will be refused entry.
In its warning the department points
out the federal law does not apply 10
preparations made and consumed
wholly within a single state such as
patent medicines made within New
York state and sold in New York city
center of the epidemic.
Persons buying or using n remedy
made in their own state, therefore
the announcement says. must rely OF
the protection accorded them by then
local health authorities

London, July 2S.-Since the COM
pletion of the capture of Pozieres the
news from the British front in France
is mainly OF artillery actions and test
ing encounters at various points on
the German line. The comparative
lull and hot, hazy weather, it is as
sumed, has given the Germans an OPP
portunity to bring up further troops
and guns with view to renewed at
tempts to recapture Pozieres where,
however, according to reports, the
British troops have further consoli-
dated their positions.
Tonight's official report shows that
there has been hard fighting all day
with some fluctuations of fortune, but
that In extend the British improved
their positions northeast of Pozieres
and in the vicinity OF Longueval and
