TULSA IN TERROR
AS 8 DIE FROM
MYSTERY DRUG"
New Medicine Blamed
In Fatality Series

TULSA, Okla. Oct. 10 Q.N.S).
Although assured no widespread
danger exists, scores Of TulSans
waited In dread for the first signs
Of q mysterious malady as a grave
was prepared today for the ninth
victim of q httle-known drug.
He was Earl Beard, 26, an air
conditioning engineer, whose death
Saturday was attributed to g.
newly marketed elixir of sulfanila-
mide which has been blamed for
the deaths Of eight other persons
In recent weeks.
DOCTORS SILENT
Completely puzzled, Tulsa doc.
tors today refused to comment on
the possible reasons for the lethal
qualities in the drug that had pre-
viously been described in medical
reports as new and highly bene-
ficial panacea.
DR.. Morris Fishbein in an edi-
torial in the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, of which
he Is editor, however, explained
the solvent used in making the
medicine may be responsible.
Dr.. F1Shbein announced that 1t
had been definitely established
the drug had been taken by only
10 persons but additional scores
today frantically telephoned their
doctors In fear they had partaken
Of some to cure sore Threats or
other ailments.
So far as could be ascertained
none was in danger.
PROBE is MADE
w. H. Hartigan, Federal food
inspector, who Investigated the
"jake leg" cases in Oklahoma City
a decade ago, has completed an
inquiry into the drug here and
sent samples Of it to Washington
for analysis. He said it may take
several weeks before it can pe
learned if it is solely responsible
for the nine deaths now attributed
to it.
DR.. c. E. Bradley, heading a
committee Of the Tulsa Medical
Society, tested the elixir on guinea
pigs when the first trouble devel-
oped but the animals were not
affected. It was planned, he said,
to increase the dosage in q series
Of further tests.
GOOD RESULTS
DR.. J. A. C. Colston, of Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,
and a delegate to the convention
of the Southwest Branch of the
American THEOLOGICAL Association,
said:
1--WE have obtained brilliant
results from the drug in the
form in which we use it. 1 have
repeatedly warned, however,
against it's indiscriminate USE"
Seven of the supposed victims
were young children, to whom the
elixir had been administered for
sore throat. Shortly afterward
they developed kidney infections
and died despite all known medical
treatments.

New York, Aug. 3.-(UP)-Marilyn Murphy, g, joined her playmate, Lorraine Chinchar, 10, in death to- day-another victim of New York's crowded tenement districts. Like thousands of other children, Mari lyn and Lorraine had been playing on the roofs of the, flve-story tene- ments in their East River neigh borhood, away from the hot pave ments and heavy traffic. With Mari- lyn leading, the girls started to climb across a narrow shaft to an adjoining roof. AS they stepped upon a strip of wire mesh concealed by tar paper, which formed cov- ering over the shaft, the rusted wire gave way. The children plunged five floors down the shaft, which was 22 inches wide at the top but only 10 near the bottom. There they stuck.
 Four thousand persons watched as the rescue efforts of heroic ambul- ance surgeon, police and firemen. They cheered when Patrolman Will liam Gossman was lowered into the shaft at the end of a rope held by comrades. and removed Lor- raine. She died few hours later. Gossman reported that he could not reach Marilyn. Her fall had left her wedged in a cranny from which she could be extricated only by breaking through an eight-inch brick wall beside her. Police and firemen went to work, and between the

Aged Grain Co. President Fires Shot Into Strikers

on regular negotiations with the strikers union, seeking Q com. promise.
 There have been several minor outbreaks at the mill in the past week. Strikers have broken out windows with rocks and have inter- fered with business by stopping grain traffic. They are members of the Grain Processors Union, an af- filiate of the American Federation of Labor. The original demand of the strikers, according to the union secretary, J. P. Baker, was for Q closed shop but that matter has been sidetracked and the strikers now demand 50 cents an hour wage, instead of the 35 to 90 cents they have received; and 6 40-hour week instead of the former 54-houy week.
 The shooting stirred strong feel- ing among strikers and sympathiz- CTS and about 25 of them talked about the mill all night. in threat ening discussions. There were no police at the scent.
 Hunt was a strike sympathizer. One witness said he was stooping to pick up rock when Lipscomb fired, but at the hospital where he was treated, doctors said the birdshots were scattered oyer his body from his legs to his neck.
