Senator Dietrich Urges the Need of Urg-
ent Measures.
WASHINGTON, Nov. i1.-Senator
Dietrich through his secretary brought
to the attention of the commissioner
of Indian affairs the possibility of
an epidemic of smallpox among the
citizens of Homer, Thurston county,
a village just north of the Winnebago
Indian reservation, unless imperative
action is taken by the authorities.
The senator urged immediate action
on the part of the government in
view of the seriousness of the case
and asked that something be done to
prevent the spread of disease. AS
the Indians are citizens of Nebraska,
it was decided that the question of
quarantine rests solely with the
Thurston county authorities, and It
devolves upon them to move in the
matter.

was very good. Packers all had iiDelei
orders. and as result the better SrausS
sold about as fast as they were unioa"

steady to strong and active. Inc 90"
market was also active and prices were
fupv as good as Yesterday The better
grades In some cases sold as much as lVc
higher as the demand was very active
for that class of stock The medluh
kinds and Gamers sold In just about yes
terday's notches. Bulls, veal calves an"
stays all changed hands freely at soo"'
steady prices. The supply OK leeoers
was not large. and as the demanu was
fairly liberal the market took on con-
siderable life and stronger prices were
paid for the more desirable ounches.
There were very few western steers in
the yards good enough for killers Good
firm prices were paid for such as did ar
rive. as packers all seemed anxious for
good grass cattle. Range cows were also
ready sellers at strong prices
Hogs-Owing TO unfavorable reports
from other points the hog market here
opened rather slow and 2i9q5c lower. The
first hogs sold mostly at $5.67iz. and as
sellers were generally asking more money
the market was dull. Packers finally
raised their bids and the bulk OF the
sales went at s5.671s and 500 The close
of the market was good and strong,
the most of the late sales being at 500
In spite of the slow opening everything
was disposed of in good season. The
choicer punches sold largely from s5.I2iz
to s5.S5.
Sheep-Receipts of sheep were fairly
liberal for this time OF the week, but
the big bulk of what did arrive was
feeders. There were hardly enough OF
the mutton grades TO make test of the
market. The few punches that packers
did buy brought good, strong prices, as
Is shown by the fact that a string of
ewes sold at 1926, which were far from
being choice. other punches of fat sheep
and lambs sold prOportionately high. The
feeder market. on the other hand. was
slow and weak. the same as it has been
for the last several days.

All the police, deputy sheriffs and

A BLAZE AT the CAPITOL
some Believe There Was Attempt 90
Destroy tho Structure.


LINCOLN, Nov. 9.-The discovery
Of a small blaze in the tunnel leading
from the engine house to the state
capitol building has caused several Of
ticials to believe that a deliberate at
tempt was made to destroy the latter
structure. The flames were confined
to the asbestos covering of large
steam pipe running through the tun-
nel Outside of the asbestos Is COW
sring of four layers of heavy paper.
This paper was burned away in two
spots, each about a foot in diameter.
Below the pipe was found pile OF
excelsior and several burnt matches.
The place where the fire was found is
about forty feet from the capitol
building, and with a good draft the
flames would have spread the entire
distance within few minutes.
Secretary of State Marsh and Attor-
ney General Prout investigated the
discovery, but arrived at no definite
conclusion. 1t was reasoned that IL an
attempt was planned to destroy the
building the fire would have been
started nearer the building or in the
woodwork The pipe is hot enough to
scorch dry paper, but it is said by en-
gineers that it could not produce any
effect ON the asbestos, which is be-
tween the pipe and the outside paper
covering.

AMOUNT GROWS TO e5,7I3 TONS
Exceeds by that Figure the Total Pur-
chase of Last Fiscal Year-secretive
About Some stations-They Are Pro-
posed Places Not to Be Mentioned.

WASHINGTON Nov. IA strik.
ing illustration of the growth of the
American navy is presented in the
single statement in the annual report
of Rear Admiral r. B. Bradford, chief
of the equipment bureau of the navy,
that he spent $2,273,111 the last fiscal
for 324, ,10S tons of coal at an average
cost of S7.01 per ton. The report segs
that this was nearly 95,713 more tons
of coal than was used during the pre-
ceding fiscal year. Ten years ago the
coal consumption was $4,000 tons per
annum.
The domestic coal costs $500 per
ton and the foreign coal, of which
there were used 105,06 tons, cost $3.50
per ton. Admiral Bradford has scat
tered American coal all over the world
wherever suitable storage could be
found. He has placed $4,000 tons at
Yokohama and 5000 tons at Pichilique
Mex, and he has sent large quantities
to Guam and to the Philippines. He
carried 5000 tons by water from the
Atlantic coast to Mare island, Califor-
nia,w here it came into competition
with English Cardiff COAL They have
averaged the same in. coast, viz 1929
per ton, but at present, owing to the
scarcity OF American freight vessels.
the best Cardiff coal is considerably
cheaper at Mare island. 1t is recon-
mended that two large steam 10000
ton colliers be built to keep depots
supplied in time of peace and to ac-
company the fleets in time of war
Summarizing the work accomplished
at various coaling stations during the
year the report takes up Cavite and
says that the bureau is about to open
bids for a 45,000-ton coaling station
there. Efforts have been made to OBJ
tain a site for a coaling station at
Cebu, but thus far without success
Port Isabella, Basalin island and at
Poloc, Mindanao.
A complete station has been estab-
lished at Yokohama, Japan, and it is
now fully stocked with coal. The
same statement is true at Pichilique,
Mex, where through the courtesy of
the Mexican government our coal and
colliers have been admitted to the
station without port duty or customs
of any kind. In the West Indies lit
tie work has been done at San Juan
on the coaling scale, but Admiral
Bradford expresses regret that little
progress has been made for securing
other sites for coal depots in the
West Indies. 1t is particularly essen
tial that some of the deep water ports
of Cuba should be made available for
this purpose, as the entire waters sur
rounding Cuba are most important in
a strategic sense. Estimates are sup-
mitted for improvements of coaling
stations at most Atlantic ports, includ-
ing modern plant at Norfolk.

VOTE GREATLY REDUCED
Nearly Quarter of Million Less ia Ohio
Than in 1900.


CINCINNATI, O.. Nov. 11.-With
almost half of the official returns from
the Lightweight counties in Ohio re-
ceived, it is estimated that the total
vote may be 100000 less than for gov
ernor two years ago, when 920,S72
votes were cast, and almost quarter
of million less than for president
last year when the total vote of Ohio
was 1,649,121
Notwithstanding the increase III
population during the past thirteen
years, the total vote. will likely be
much less than for president in 1888,
when it was S41 ,941 and probably less
than has been cast for governor since
that time with a single exception.
