NOME-EPIDEMIC UNABATED TODAY NOME, Alaska, Feb. 4—Nome's diphtheria epidemic continued unabated today. Dr. Curtis Welch's official statement showed 29 cases today. There were 31 suspects and more than 100 contracts. There have been 10 new cases in the last five days. Dr. Welch is going ahead using the anti-tosh rushed here by dog team relays over nearly 700 miles of ice tundra with the presumption of its freezing en route has not harmed it. He said he believed freezing had not taken away its force and that with the 300,000 units received Monday and the additional supplies on the way he would be able to make progress in the fight against the plague. The state board of health appealed to Governor Scott C. Hone at Juneau to rush additional serum by airplane. They urged the governor to have an airplane dispatched here immediately and informed him that difficulties regarding a suitable landing place could be overcome by having the flyers land on the huge ice field just west of Nome in the Behring sea. Members of the board said they feared the present supply would be exhausted before an airplane arrived now even if plans for hurrying the serum here were not expedited. Among the victims today was Sigried Sepella, daughter of Leonard Sepella, the champion musher, winner of the Nome dog derby, who sided in bringing the serum here by dog teams. She was reported dangerously ill. Gunner Kassen, the master musher, who brought the serum into Nome, was recovering from his fearful trip.

Among the victims today was Sigried Seppella, daughter of Leonard Seppella, the champion musher, winner of the Nome dog derby, who added in bringing the serum here by dog teams. She was reported dangerously ill. Gunner Kassen, the master musher, who brought the serum into Nome, was recovering from his fearful trip. He was suffering. It was learned, from a frozen chin and hands. Kassen, it was revealed today, made the last leg of the trip along the rocky coast while a fierce wind was blowing so strong that at times almost swept man and dog carrying the precious packet of serum into the sea. At one stage of the trip it was necessary to climb a hill four miles long in a blinding snowstorm. Kassen, questioned regarding his trip, told of stopping to breathe on the crevices of his dogs, which were frozen together. The mercury stood at 40 below zero on part of the trip and Kassen found it necessary to breathe en and warm with his hands the eyelids of the black Siberians, who made the long "race for mercy."

SEATTLE, Feb. 4 — Destined for diphtheria-striken Nome a shipment of 1,000,000 units of antitoxin was placed aboard the steamship Admiral Watson, which sailed this morning for Seward. This is the second huge shipment of serum that has been dispatched to Nome in the last four days by Dr. G. M. Magruder, in charge of the thirteenth district of the public health service. The first consignment, sent last Saturday aboard the steamer Alameda, is expected to reach Fairbanks, by next Monday, when Roy Darling, world war flyer will attempt to rush a portion of it to Nome by airplane. The rest will be sent overland by dog teams from Nenana, so that some will be available in case the desperate airplane trip ends in disaster. All of the antitoxin which left today is expected to be sent by dog team, as the public health service is extremely dubious of the flight being successful. According to latest advises received by Dr. Magruder from Dr. Curtis Welch the public health surgeon in Nome, the epidemic is apparently under control.

The slide came while Collins was alone and none of the rescuers were caught behind the rock. Rescuers were unable to determine whether Collins' foot was crushed so that amputation would be necessary, but it was stated that he was in good physical condition and unless complications set in he might be able to retain the use of the foot held under the rock. The information was given the rescuers by Collins that his feet were free but that he was too weak to force his way to the mouth of the cave. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 4.—Dr. W. H. Hazlett and Dr. Harold Jones, both of Chicago, arrived here this morning and left at once by airplane for Cave City, Ky., to attempt release of Floyd Collins, held prisoner in Sand cave by a falling boulder, by amputating his leg.

Her name is withheld, but it is understood that physicians have been told to "spaer no expense" in the humanitarian task of releasing Collins.

DEMAND SHERIFF GALLIGAN RESIGN MARION, Ill. Feb. 4.—The dove of peace, after a brief stay, was gone from Willamson-co again today, following collapse of a compromise agreement between Sheriff Geo. Galligan, anti-Klan leader, and the county board of supervisors, composed largely of avowed Klansmen. Today the board stood firm on a demand that Galligan resign, while Galligan stood equally firm in his determination not to resign. The next move was to be a plea to Gov. Len Small to remove Galligan. A committee appointed by the board was to go to Springfield today or tomorrow to confer with the governor. Sheriff Galligan's peace proposal, which was rejected by the board, offered to make a written agreement that he would leave the county, turn over his office to Deputy Randall Parks, over whom there has been no dissension and would permit the board to name all other deputies. He agreed to stay away from the county for the duration of his term of office but refused to resign. The most economical little salesman is a Class Ad in this paper. Trolley Crew for 29 Years THEART GRILLED TITLE, Feb. 4.—Elmer Hartrft, former Los Angeles writer, was being grilled this day by Captain of Detectives Tonnant on his knowledge mystery taxcab murder Saturday night, when Mrs. Helen Morley, wife of a UNDOLGING all the work of drillers thus far and making rescue by means other than amputation absolutely impossible, it was learned here today. Dr. Hazlett and Dr. Jones were sent to Kentucky to attempt rescue by a wealthy and public-spirited Chicago woman who is defraying all expenses. Her name is withheld, but it is understood that physicians have been told to "spaer no expense" in the humanitarian task of releasing Collins. The federal government provided the plane for the flight 14 Cave City. The operation, if successful, will set a precedent in medical annals. The place where Collins is imprisoned is 150 feet down and so narrow that it is hardly possible for a human body to squeeze to his side. He is trapped in a half recolling position and only his upper leg is within reach of those who crawl to his rescue. Collins can give little or no assistance as his arms also are partly pin-foned. The light will be poor at best, that afforded by flashlights and the narrowing of the passage prevents free arm movement. "We are especially afraid of an excessive loss of blood on the patient's part," Dr. Hazlett said, "for the amputation will have to be made high, almost to the waist line. Collins, of course, is in a very weakened condition from his position and exposure. We are taking a number of the most recently perfected hemostats, or hemostatic forceps to retard the blood flow when the knife severs large veins and arteries." "It will be impossible to administer general anesthetics such as chloroform or ether. In the narrow confines of the cave the operator also would be anesthetized. For this reason we can use only local anesthetics." Some fear was expressed here that Dr. Hazlett would be unable to squeeze his wav in to the passages and when volunteers have been asked for small men were designated. Dr. Hazlett is not a small man.

Thayer's audiences greeted his gifts and talents as a lecturer. His addresses were spirational, dinamic, and-pow and stirred the hearts of those listened to him.
