RUN AUTOS WITH COAL GAS
London Motorists Find II Cheaper
Than Gasoline at Present High
Price Of Latter.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the London
Telegraph recently to the economic nd
vantags of the utilization Of coal gas
as substitute for petrol (gasoline), >.
says that newspaper. 1t has been es-
tnblished by actual practice that $50
cubic feet of coal Cas-the ordinary
gas that is used for household illumina-
tion pprposes-eQuals one gallon of pc
troll when applied to the work of driv-
ing motor vehicle. II gas costs Y
cents 1000 cubic feet 1t is equivalent
to petrol at 1S cents n gallon, and mt
98 cents 1000 cubic feet Is equivalent
to Its competitor at "a cents n gallon.
As petrol cannot he bought today
for commercial purposes at under 4S
to rs cents n gallon, It will he seen
how great is the economy effected. So
far as the alterations rendered neces-
sary to the engine of motor vehicle
are concerned. the only additional ex-
penditure is about $500. and the gas
hing container for the storing of the
vapor costs S75. Thus, for the ex-
pendtiure Of $500. nm ordinary petrol
using motor vehicle of any description
can he converted into n gas driven one,
and the driving expenses reduced enor-
mously.

BUY COURT PLASTERS
THOUSAND PuEsLo PEOPLE &C.
CURE TETANus GERMS.
Believed German Murder Plot, and
Hunt Being Made for Man Who
Sold Polson-Laden Adheslves.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Pueblo, Colo.-Enough tetanus dock
jaw germs to infect 1000 persons are
believed to have been distributed IN
Pueblo and Pueblo county during the
past few days through the fndiscrim-
mate sale of court plasters by an old
man. The police, sheriff's office and
federal secret service agents are look
ing for the old man, who was last
heard OF at Swallows, twenty miles
from this city.
Otto Allen, a street car man. is re-
sponsible for the discovery OF the poi
soned court plasters. His wife bought
one of the plasters from the old man
two days ago and when Allen returned
home at night she told him about the
purchase. Allen, who had read OF
Kansas City case where three persons
are said to have died from lockjaw as
the result of using infected court plas-
tiers, Immediately became suspicious.
He took the plaster to the police and
the city health department at once
mixture on the cloth. The compound
was found to be literally alive with
tetanus germs and would no doubt
have infected and caused the death
OF any person who used the plaster
AS soon as the result of the chem
ical test was finished, an alarm was
sent out warning all persons who had
purchased plasters from the old man
not to use them under any circum-
& n h,,t IN tn hn nnlfNa
department for analysis.
1t is estimated that the old man sold
at least 1000 plasters in the city Of
Pueblo and Pueblo county. The police
and sheriff's office suspect q German
plot in the sale of the poison-laden
court plasters, but whether the old
man who Is selling them has knowl-
edge Of the diabolical scheme or Is
merely an innocent tool of men higher
up has not been determined by the
officials who are investigating the
case.
