INSPECT new TYPE OF
RAILS FOR STATE Line
Four-Inc Rails at Bismarck Will Be
Replaced With New Bars to Be
Inspected by Sam Crabbe.

State Architect Sam Crabbe leaves
Fargo tonight for st. Louis to inspect
a new type of heavy girder rails for
the state street car line at Bismarck.
The state architect is certain that this
will meet with the approval of the
state board of control.
The new rails will replace the four
inch bars torn up several weeks ago
when the Ford Paving Co. of Des
Moines, started paving operations in
that city which will amount to the sum
of 100000 this season. There was
considerable discussion in state and
city circles at Bismarck at the time
whether the rails would ever be relaid
in view OF the fact that the operating
OF the car line by the state is a losing
proposition, the loss being about $4,000
annually.
However, the city commissioners
conceded everything to the state in the
way of paving in the business district
in order to keep the line. The new
type Of rail as explained by the state
engineer this morning is resigned es-
pecially for paving purposes.

INocULATED COURT
 PLASTER IS EXPOSED

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 1S.-The entire machinery of the federal gov ernment in Kansas was working to- night toward a solution of what was described as a plot to spread disease throughout the state by inoculation through court plaster.
 The alleged plot, announced by Fred Robertson, United States district at torney, was disclosed to the authori- ties by the willingness of three men under arrest to give away the adhe- sive after failing to sell the packages in small towns. Fear of possible mob action caused the authorities to con ceal the names of the men and of the towns where they were arrested.
 Pests conducted by W. S. Smith government chemist. were said to have revealed tetanus germs on the plas ters.
 So far as the office of the federal district attorney has announced nc motive has been found for the alleged plot, although the names of the ar rested men, it is said, might denote a plot furthered by foreign enemies.
 Information received here tonight from Winfield. Kan, declared ths death from lockjaw of Charles Null ford. several days ago, occurred after he had treated a wound on his lel with the court plaster.

With intense interest diverted for the moment from the fighting fronts where there have been a noticeable slackening in hostilities, attention is focused on the opening on Thursday of the German reichstag. At the op- ening session will be heard the first utterances of the new imperial chan cellor, Dr. George Michaelis, regarding his war policies, which will be nat urally momentous inasmuch as they will indicate whether. with the recent changes in the German government, Germany is going to continue her war. fare without abatement or whether the desires that have been heard so often in Germany. especially in the reichstag, are anything but empty ex- pressions.
