Chicago, Jnne 6.-Twenty -four
thousand hogs. eleven thousand cat
tie and eight 3>ousand sheep, which,
arrived at, the 1toclkyards today were
met by what they have thought was
a reception committee instead of cow
hustlers. This was because the stock
handlers union was still on strike
and clerks, superintendents and 9TH
ers used to clean collars and other
material of refinements, have left
their desks and were trying to fill the
gaps. ~
1t was expected that Washington
would take some action looking to
arbitrate during the day.

nEATH RATE NOT EXCESSIVE.

That a false impression has been left
in the minds Of the public by the re-
port Of the trustees. Of the county hos
pital,. which stated that there were
more deaths in the institution last
month than in any previous month, is
the statement Of Or. p A. NJ Rovitti,
resident physician at the hospital.
while tho report that there had
been a greater number Of deaths in
the Institution during the past month
than ever before recorded was pos
sibly true. the public naturally does
not understand what class OF patients
are sent us," Dr. Rovitti said.
at frequently happens that people
who are committed 20 the hospital
are nearly dead before they are sent
there. one case have in mind was
sent TO the hospital a few days ago.
The patient, a man. died when he was
being taken from the ambulance TO the
doctor, and yet the hospital will get
the credit for that death.
when the class OF patients we re-
ceive is considered and the fact that
they are not sent us until 10 appears 90
be a hopeless case. the death rate Is
no greater at the county hospital than
at any other public institution

THINKS SPARK CAUSE
OF CONDUIT EXPLOSIONS

In discussing the explosions Of gas
that lifted the manhOles of several
conduit inlets on West Eighth street
yesterday, Harold 5. Schutt, of the
Wilmington Gas Company. gave an ex-
PLANTATION Of the cause Of the explo-
s.0ns. He said that for several days
the gas company has been aware Of a
serious leak on West Eighth street, and
workmen have been seeking TO dis
cover the source Of it This is done by
sinking small holes at intervals alopg
the street to reach the gas main. TN
leaking gas would follow the pipe, and
by means Of the holes 10 would escape
10 the surface through the small holes.
When gas is discovered by a test OF
that sort. IL is known that the leak in
the main is somewhere in the vicinity.
Then it is a question OF digging to find
the exact spot. 10 is not possible TO
dig I'D the street before the spot is
located approximately.
Mr.. Schults theory is that workmen
yesterday in making their tests in the
street struck a spark with their iron
implements hitting against a pipe or
stone beneath the surface. such a
spark would ignite the flame and the
natural result would he an eXploslon.
The weakest places. Of course would
he the manholes Of the conduit. which
had naturally become filled with gas
hence the explosions. Thus far the
leak has not been located.

Of the 18th Division at Camp Dix, heart
lily endorsed the idea Of Smileage in the
following letter TO the Commission on
Training Camp Activities:
1T is of-great interest 10 me to learn
OF your plan TO place Smileage books on
sale in connection with Government
theatres. can heartily endorse a
scheme which puts before the men Of
my command an opportunity to attend
clean and interesting plays and enter
tainments Their hours of drill and
work are long but leave time during
which 10 is to everyOne's advantage that
the enlisted men be entertained, par
ticularly i'm view of the great change in
conditions under which the soldier lives
as contrasted with those to which he
was formerly accustomed in civil life"
