KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 10
While chemists are seeking to
identify germs found with the
tetanus bacilli inocculated IN
cultures on court plasters scat
tered broadcast thru Western
Kansas by German agents, federal
officials today are spreading a
net which is expected to result in
additional arrests. Three Ger
mans are now in custody.
State officials are also making
every efford to learn in what dis
tricts the malignant plasters were
distributed in order to forestall
unnecessary contagion. The
court plasters, Investigators have
found, are marked n. Shure and
Company, so, Chicago. Inquiry
of Nathan Shure and Company
today established the fact that
the Chicago firm merely acts as
mid dlemen for Bauer and Black.
G. T. Bauer, president Of Bauer
& Black, stated to federal inves-
tigators that IL court plasters from
his firm had been used to spread
disease they had been "doctored
after leaving the factory.
ut certainly is possible that
plasters can be used to spread
disease" Black told special
agents. Wherever the plaster
is spread over an open wound or
even scratch, it gives the germ
an opportunity to get foothold
in the blood of the victim
There are three sheets Of plas-
ter in each package, Fred Robert
son, district attorney, said. When
sent out frem the factory there
are so sheets to the package. The
peddlers sold or gave away the
reduced packets.
The discovery of the plot was
made by two Western Kansas
sheriffs whose names the federal
officials refuse to reveal. The
officers became suspicious when
the peddlers, who spoke with a
German accent, generously left
samples where they could not sell
their wares.

PETRoGRAD, July IS (de-

Shooting in the city was ended
late this evening.
The government is arresting all
mutineers. Nicholai Lening, the
agltator charged with being
German spy, is fugitive. The
city is rejoicing tonight over end
ing of the street disturbances.
The street disorders which to-
day resulted in proclamation of
martial law in Petrograd appar-
emily grew out of Minister of
War Kerenskys disbandment of
several companies OF Pavlosk and
Grenadier troops because they re-
fused to fight.
Late Monday night a number OF
these soldiers, fully armed, staged
a demonstration on the streets.
They were Joined with nearly
1000 men above the age OF 10,

Later in the night a motor ma
chine gun detachment paraded
thru the Nevsky Prospekt. The
Russian people believed this regi-
ment loyal. but they really be-
longed to the first machine gun
regiment which had refused or
ders to proceed to the front. 1m-
mediately the authorities called
out the loyal government squad
OF motor machine guns.
For five minutes the two units
OF automobile fighters clashed in
the streets. There was tre-
mendous fusillade in the Nevslly
Prospekt and the Sadovai, but not
a single fatality. One theory to-
day was that both sides used
blank cartridges.

RUSSIAN REVOLT IS PUZZLED!
TROUBLE DUE TO
GERMAN MONEY


PETR0GRAD. July 1S.-(de-
layed THE government wins.
Quelling OF the revolt which
for three days has torn the city
with dissension and caused fight
ing on the streets for the first
time since the revolution, had
been apparently accomplished to-
night.
Arrests by the wholesale of
mutineers and malcontents re-
sponsible for the rioting is con-
tinuing. The city is rapidly ap-
preaching normal. II was quiet
tonight, with no shooting re-
ported.
An extraordinary session of the
cabinet council this morning con-
sidered transferring the govern
ment to Moscow, 1t was an
nounced.
With this removal OF the cabi-
net being considered. the army
chief of staff announced stimuli
taneously that evidence that had
been obtained that Nicholai Le-
nine, the paciflst agitator, was a
regularly accredited German
agent, sent by the German staff
to the sixth army front, to dis
credit the provisional government,
Lenine. ii was asserted, had
been supplied with German money
from the German legation at
Stockholm. He is fugitive to-
day.

The Russian army staff also
declared that the maxlmalist lead
er, Kosloosky, is the real chief
of the German agents in Russia
and that he has credit of two
million roubles approximately

Three serious outbreaks of NAL
contents and opponents to the
government have been reported
from Petrograd this week German
money and German agents being
largely blamed for them.
These demonstrations may be
responsible for the cabinet coun-
sells consideration OF transfer
of the governments business to
Moscow, where the disturbing ele-
ments would be less likely to In
terfere.

MAKING GOOD HIS PLEDGES.

By permitting the inaugural ball, Mr..
Cats has made the first formal redemption
of one-of his pledges laid down in his mes
sage tosthe people of Florida after his cleo
ton, in which he declared that he had no
fanatical designs and that mo sumptuarH
! or blue laws of New England will ever find
place insrny administration"
Though the idea of this ball was per-
.sonaEly disagreeable to him, Mr.. Cats re-
allied that to many people it was an event
of great interest, and he was simply demo-
cratic enough to bow to the will of the
majority. He refused, however, to allow
spiked punch on the premises, and, consid-
ering THE popularizing of prohibition, it
might be added that here, too, he was es-
+ sentially- democratic
By proceeding cautiously in the matter
j of appointments, Mr.. Cats is endeavoring
| still further to allay the fears of all who
/ may still be unconvinced of his sincerity.
Only his private secretary is announced,
and the other executive appointees. Mr.
Cats declares he will not designate until
things are running smoothly, while con-
firmation of all primary nominees, he has
already promised. A conscientious, but
not radical, administration seems assured.
The new governor is making friends
every day. not only because it is the part
of democratic loyalty to support the chief
of state, whatever personal opinion of
the candidate, but also because Mr.. Cats
has been able to show himself in his truer
character, relieved eff the physical and
mental strain of the campaign.
