Washington, Nov. 26. - Vaccine
points coated with tetanus germs were
weapons in a poison plot of broad
scope which it was admitted here has
been the subject of an investigation
by the department of justice.
Details of the plot were made pub
lie following publication of press dis
patches from Lexington, KY, to the
effect that druggists in Kentucky
towns had found vaccine points receiv-
ed by them from the National Vaccine
company of Washington, had been
tempered with.
The points were shipped from the
vaccine company, one of the leading
and most reputable companies of its
kind in the country. Of the 100000
points recently shipped most have
been used and the others have been
ordered returned to Washington.
Dwight T. Scott, president of the
company, said that when the points
obtained from a certain firm were sus-
pected we ordered the recall of every
cials the points were tempered with
before reaching the vaccine company.
Of 100000 points sent out by one firm
approximately 100000 went to the war
department for use in vaccinating men
in the national army.
