CHLORINE GAS MAY BECOME UNIVERSAL
 FLU PREVENTATIVE
Arkansas Experiments Prove Value in Fighting
 Epidemic

St. Louis, April 14.-Chlorine gas may come into universal use as an influenza preventative in the opin- ion of members of the American Chemical society in session here.
 At conference of the biological section of the society today, members stated that initial tests with chlor- inc during the recent influenza epi- demic tended strongly to bear out their theory as to it's value. They agreed however that the tests were not carried out to such an extent as to furnish conclusive proof on ac- count of the rapid decrease in the number of influenza cases. The most extensive tests, it was said, were conducted at the University of Arkansas by Dr. Harrison Hale, head of the department of chemistry there.
 During their course, 800 treatments were administered to 184 volunteers who remained for five minutes daily in room containing small amount of gas.
 But one of those who underwent the treatment developed influenza. it was said, and in that instance with in such a short while after the test, that it was believed the case had previously developed. More than two-thirds of those who took the treatment had been stricken with influenza during the epidemic in the fall of 1918, it was stated.

 Howat and Robert Foster, auditor, were taken to Ottawa and placed in the Franklin county jail while Aug ust Lorchy. vice president, and Tho mas Harvey, secretary treasurer were taken to lola and placed in the Allen county jail The order for their removal issued by the district court upon petition of the sheriff charges that the reason for the re- moval is that the Crawford county jail has been deemed unfit for the safe keeping of the incarcerated off cials. They will be kept in the AL len and Franklin jails until the fur ther order of the court. In his peti- tion the sheriff stated that the events of the last few days in Crawford county have shown that attempts to effect and procure the release of the might be made by crowds of aliens who do not understand the American system of government and who might think the prisoners were being wrongfully persecuted.

 ' ed

Positive assurance that 30 houses will be occupied by the minute they are completed, and that 300 employees will be brought to Pine Bluff in the event housing facilities are adequate, given Secretary K.

THINK LIVE: WIRE:
 STARTE) BLAZE AT COTTON BELT SHOPS s
Revised Estimate of Loss is From $S5,000 to
 S10O.0O0

An Investigation of the cause of the fire which early Tuesday morn- ing destroyed several frame build lngs in the rip track department at the Cotton Belt shops, was held yes terday at the shopse by local off cials of the road. The cause of the fire could not be determined ex- actly, but the investigators are in clined to believe that the fire was caused by live wire in the roof of one of the sheds, according to George McGibbony, foreman of the rip track department.
 Reports from a number of em- man, were heard by the investiga- tors. The night watchman. A. M. Grant, who discovered the fire, stated that he first saw the blaze in the roof of one of the buildings near the east end of line of sheds comprising the rip track department From the origin of the fire, off cials are inclined to believe that a worn insulation on wires in the roof of the shed was responsible for the blaze.
 Officials last night estimated the loss at from $S5 ,000 to S100, ,000. Be- sides the complete loss of the several buildings in the rip track depart ment, 19 cars were totally destroy, cd, and 15 cars were partially de- stroyed. Among the cars totally de stroyed were three loaded cars which had been moved into the rip track for repairs. These comprised a car of rice, car of roofing paper, and a car of lumber.
 No Lay-off.
 The fire was discovered about 1:15 o'clock. and for time, threat ened other buildings close by. The water power was inadequate at first and because of this, the fire gained great headway. When the city pres sure was turned into the Cotton Belt mains. the pressure was entirely suf- ficient. maintaing a pressure ot about no pounds during the re- mainder of the fire. The firemen from the Centra lstation on State street directed by Fire Chief A. C Breiner assisted in fiehting the flames. From the first, the greatest effort was made to prevent the spread of the flames to buildings in other departments.
 The hose and equipment of the city fire department was not used as the Cotton Belt facilities were sui ficient. The work of the Cotton Belt fire fighting force was praised b vofficials who were equally ap- preciative of the work of the city fire department The operation of the rip track will not. be affected by the fire, it was stated, and of the 40 men employed there, it is not thought that the fire will cause any to be laid off. and there will be no reduction in the force until Saturday when 75 are to be laid off accord ing to an order received at the shops some days ago.
