The quarantine of cattle in town es-
tablished by Gov. Mccullough is caus-
ing much Indignation among the farm
ers and teamsters. 1t was alleged that
some of the diseased cattle were driven
through a remote corner of the town
on their way to Windham. In any
event there are no cases in town and
farmers four or five miles from the in
fected p road fail to see the need of
keeping their teams idle.

SENATE FOR PURE FOOD
WCUMBER BILL, AIMED AT ADUL-
ITERATION, is FAVORED.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-senator Nc
Cumber, of the committee on manufac-
lures, today reported favorably the pure
food bill introduced by Senator Hans
brough, ''for preventing the adulteration
misbranding and imitation of foods, bey-
erages, confectionery, drugs and condi-
ments in the District of Columbia and the
territories and for the regulation of in
terstate commerce in them"
The bill provides for the creation of the
division of foods and drugs in the bureau
of chemistry in the agricultural depart
ment and places that division in charge Of
the work of inspection, which is provided
for by the bill Senator McCumber sub
mitted an elaborate report on the bill, in
which it is stated that during the last
quarter of a century the growth of com
merciaI frauds and the adulteration in
food dairy products have become so
alarming that both the state and federal
governments have been called upon for
legislation to protect the public. It is
also stated that in accordance with this
necessity three-fourths of the states have
enacted stringent laws against the sale
Of deleterious food products.

Special to The Globe.
DIES MONIES, April 2.-Robert Mathes,
of the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company. came to Des Moines
this morning to investigate the legislative
situation with respect to the Molesberry
bills for the elimination of the statutory
limit on bonded indebtedness which rail-
road companies may incur to secure
money with which to develop their prop
critics and extend their lines.
The Rock Island has a vital interest in
this legislation on account of Texas
branches which the parent line may desire
to acquire that they may be extended AMI
developed in conformity with the improve
ments on the whole system. 1t was re-
ported in legislative circles during the
day that Mr.. Mathes had proposed new
law on the subject which does not suit
the other railroads interested-the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in par
ticular
1t was the intention of Senator MoIes-
berry to call up his compromise meas
ure introduced to take the place of the
original bill vetoed by the governor today,
but he was unable to do so and will at
tempt, tomorrow, probably. to get it set
down for a special order for consideration
not later than Friday.

The miners of the Buffalo, Rochester &

lied and with considerable financial aid
back of them have confidence in their
ability to conduct long fight if neces-
sary. Notices were posted at the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg railroad car shops
in Dubois today ordering the closing Of
the shops until the strike has been set
tied.
This will throw 400 mechanics and labor
ers out of employment indefinitely. Be
sides this number of railroad crews

CHICAGO, Illinois, April q = One
of the most potent factors today
in the building up and the perpetuation
of great industrial monopolies and of the
epCrmOuS private fortunes which seeln
to be a menace to our civilization, is the
freight rate discrimination" said Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Charles A
Prouty in an address to the members of
the Illinois Manufacturers association
tonight. Mr.. Prouty spoke for an hour
and his address somewhat astonished even
the time-hardened business men present.
His speech expressed methods and inside
facts regarding railways and manipula-
tions by railway magnates. DISCRIMINATE
ing rates he said, constituted an evil Of
menacing proportions calling for heroic
treatment
This evil, he thought, could be. remedied
in a measure by restraint of competition.
Railroads, he said, should be allowed to
form traffic associations to maintain
rates.
Mr.. Prouty then paid his compliments
to Gov. Van SAINT and Attorney General
Knox in this fashion: eff competition
has been the regulator of railway rates
in the past and that competition is fast
becoming a vanishing quantity, what is
the remedy? The natural answer is.
Compel competition by law; prohibit
edy proposed by Gov. Van SAINT. That is
the remedy of the attorney general. 1t
never can be made an effective one''
