OGS RELEASED FROM CITY POUN (Continued from First Page) slaughter and released a calf own- ed by B. Stein. The calf later was recaptured in an adjoining yard. Nome of the missing dogs were recovered, the animals having made the best of their unexpected freedom and scat- tered to parts unknown as rapidly | as they could. No Danger of Rabies ‘The report that the dogs were re- leased was greeted with mixed fecl- ings this morning but Dr. John \ Intosh, veterinary surgeon and sistant to Dr. B. D. Radcliffe, there was no danger of rabies. It was known that one dog was under observation suspected of rabics and that possibly 30 or more an mals have been in the same “coo; at one time or another. Dr. Mcln- tosh stated that he has observed the dogs carefully and found no evid- ence of rabies. He does not believe there is.any cause for alarm. 7T dog in question bit some peoy months ago. If he had been mad it would be dead by now,” h 1. Others who looked at t dog through the rusty wire screen over the windows found it quiet and peaceful, suffering oaly from the effects of the torrid heat beating down upon a tar papered shack, Fire Menace to Slaughter House ‘That the break might have serious results in case the fire gained any headway is felt by those said who realize that the pound is close- | ly adjacent to the slaughter house, and just a few from that scc- tion where the live cattle are kept. Last night the one lonely calf was the only animal there. Whether the calf was released to save its life in case the fire did reach the ughter house eventually, or whether the persons breaking in got the wrong door first will not be known unless the police make an arrest. ‘The door to the section of the slaughter house where the calf was kept, was fastened shut with wire. The wire was twisted off and thrown to the ground. Doors to elaughter house and dog pound stood | ‘wide open this morning. Breaking into the city dog pound is no new offense. before. The police have always i vestigated but public sympathy gen- erally is with the dogs. Starting a | fire that endangers the slaughter house, according to Dr. McIntosh, is another matter., “That is going too far and is something which should not be overlooked,” he said toda In the absence of Dr. Radcliffe, wh is confined to kis home with illnc: Dr. McIntosh is in charge of the ‘stadghter, house. Veterinary’s Opinion “I understand there is some talk of building a bigger dog pound on the same site. I hope they don't do it. ‘That site is not a fit place for dogs. There is no protection from the sun and they should not be kept there at all,” Dr. McIntosh said. pointing out that a grove of trees ss than S0 feet away provides an Jdeal pl ‘for & #lied and runway. = Conditlens at the dog pound were Prought v the attention of the pub- c Wednesday in the Herald. A umber of animals were kept in the ut over the week-end when the femperature was between 90 and 100 degrees. The building stands in the blazing sun. Place Unfit, Phelps Says ‘Walter H. Phelps, supervisor of Jhe Connecticut Humane society, told the Herald today that “as far As this society is concerned the plac is absolutely unfit for a dog pound. He has investigated and believes improvements will be ‘Jhade, Mr. Phelps said that locai officlals had cooperated with him in every respect. J .M. Whittlesey, state commis- sioner of domestic animals, has writ- | to Police | ten the following letter Chiet William C. Hart. June 20, “Mr. William C. Hart, “Chiet of Police, *New Britain, Conn. “Dear 8i “An agent from this departme accompanied by Mr. Phelps of the Humane society, made an inspection of the city dog pound ncar the New Britain Munpicipal Slaughter %m \\ \ AUTOMATIC FOR Mo ' 19 MAIN had | had | the | It has been done | the situation | house | \6\\‘“" and found the following conditions: *“The dog pound consists of a small wooden structure about 8x10 feet square, covered with tar paper on the roof and sides. The only venti- lation is through two small windows. It is entirely too small to accom- modate more than six or eight dogs, and there is no provision for heat lin the winter or proper ventilation | in the summer. The floor is of wood nd consequently it is impossible to ep in a sanitary condition. Dogs are chained to side walls permitting them to come in contact with each other with the possibility of spread- |ing disease.

(By NEA Service) Cleveland, June 21.—The direct heat of a 100-watt electric light t bulb and not the indirect heat of steam under 65 pounds pressure caused the X-ray films in the Cleve- land Clinic to ignite and through deadly gases given off take a toll of 126 lives. That's the opinion of R. D.

Two days after the catastrophe MacLaurin and Val Hausman, elec- trical engineer, started their inves- tigation. In the film room of the hospital they found ample evidence to convince them that the bulb, and not the steam, caused the explosion. .
