.STRICTER RULES
AGAINST SCAB
Government Promulgstes New
Regulations.
BIG HEAD" STILL A PUZZLE
CAUSE OF NEW SHEEP DISEASE
NOT FOUND.


More stringent regulations to pre-
vent the spread of sheep scab have
been promulgated by the agricultural
department at Washington and a Wig
orous crusade is being carried on in
Utah and elsewhere. A. D. Melvin. as
sistant chief of the bureau of animal
industry has been spending some time
IN Utah for the especial purpose of
pushing the anti-Scab work The new
state law directed against scab has
also gone into effect, but the state au-
thorlues are showing the inclination
tC be little lenient the first year
The federal authorities are following
the opposite policy. however in view
of the great losses in sheep during the
last few months in this part of the
I country These losses are due TO some
extent 10 big head largely to ex-
posure and largely to scab directly and
| indirectly through the weakening of
/ the sheep, making them more suscep-
tiole to exposure The department. has
men now in the field in Utah and Ida
no studying big head and seeking
a cure.
Disease Not Understood.
This disease. according to Mr.. Mel
yin and others. is not at all understood
as yet The cause has not been ascer-
tanned, nor has a cure been found. The
disease IS comparatively new and
strange The experts of the depart
ment are puzzled over it. bur they are
hopeful Of solving the problem.
Scab, however is thoroughly under
stood and can be cured. Copies of the
new regulations are being distributed
from the local headquarters of the
| bureau in the Eagle block Among the
regulations are the following:
sheep that are affected with scab-
les. or that have been exposed to the
cOntagiOn of scabies. either through
contact with infected fiocks or in
'fected premises. pens or cars, shall not
be shipped or driven from one state
Or territory or the District Of Column
bia into another state or territory or
the District of Columbia. or into pub
lie stock yards or feeding stations, I'm
til they have been dipped in a mixture
approved by this depa rtment
sheep that are affected with the
disease may be shipped for immediate
slaughter after one dipping. but Il
they are intended for feeding or stock
ing purposes they shall be held for n
second dipping ten days after the first
one. All of the sheep in a certain flock
or shipment in which the disease is
present shall be considered as affected

should be used in instructing pupils. He
said that no one had ever been able to en-
tirely master the Bible, but that they
should dig into it the miner does the
earth. The annual report the Bible
schools was submitted 1t shows that there

Section of Statutes of 1901, Regarding
Sales of Merchandise Stocks.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SHOALS, Ind, Oct I'm rendering his
opinion in the case of the Patterson -Sar-
gent Company VS.. Mitchell to-day, Special
Judge Hiram Mccormick declared unconsti-
tutional Section 66S7a, Burns's revision of
1901. which provides that the sale of a
stock OF merchandise in bulk by a dealer
shall be fraudulent and void as against
creditors of the seller, unless five days
notice is given before the sale. Judge Nc
Cormick said:
For two reasons we hold the statute un-
constitutional: First, it attempts to do
impossible thing, to limit the ownership
of a special class of personal property,
doing away with absolute ownership, an
essential characteristic of personal prop
erty which must and will exist regardless
of the enactment of statutes by a General
Assembly. Second, because 1t is in contra
vention of Section 6S of the Bill of Rights.
Constitution of Indiana, in that it at
temptS TO grant privileges to a certain
class of cieditors-those of dealers in mer-
chandise-and this class is again divided.
That the act in question was intended
especially for certain class of Wholesale
merchants, there Is little doubt, and that
the General Assembly that met two years
later regarded that law class legislat ton
and attempted TO remedy II by repeating
that law and the enactment OF another on
the same subject. making its application
more general. The class of citizens which
this law seeks to grant especial protection
TO is certainly able to protect themselves
without special laws in their behalf.

Candidates.

NEW YORK, Oct. faction looking to-
wards the elimination of Edward NJ. Grout
and Charles V. Fornes from the fusion
municipal ticket was taken to-day by the
Citizens Union and the Republican or
ganizations. Calls were issued for the re-
assembling of the conventions of those
bodies on Wednesday of next week, the
purpose being TO declare vacant the nom
nations of Grout and Fornes for the Of
fees respectively Of controller and of
president Of the board OF aldermen. As
serting that this action cannot be legally
taken, Grout and Fornes will appeal TO the
courts for an order that their names must
be printed on the official ballot in the Re
publican and Citizens Union columns. Their
contention is that the functions of the dele
gates to the two conventions terminated
with the adjournment of the bodies to
which they were chosen. and that they
cannot be revived by the acts of commit
tees. such as is proposed.
The Greater New York Democracy, at the
head of which is John C. Sheehan, has
practically broken away from the fusion
movement, on the representation that be-
hind fusion there was plan to Republican
ize the city administration. Failure Of ef-
A. Cantor, Democrat, as president of the
Borough Of Manhattan. was the reason as
signed for the break, which was followed
by the secession OF the Bronx delegates
from the Greater New York Democracy.
The revolt was headed by Stanwood Men
ken. John G. Sheehan, as a member of the
committee appointed to confer with the
other fusion elements on the choice of city
candidates on Sept. "a, reported that he
had vainly attempted to secure the NOM
ination of Mr.. Cantor and denounced the
whole fusion programme as an attempt to
Republicanize the city of New York.
j. Il. Cronin, of the Twenty-Second as
sembly district, who was on the committee
with Mr.. Sheehan, made a similar report
in which he accused r. Fulton Cutting of
insulting the Irish voters Of the city. This
statement precipitated a general tumult,
which ended only when Mr.. Menken left
the hail. followed by all the Bronx dele
gates after he had vainly tried TO read a
statement which was eventually laid on the
table with the reports of Sheehan and
Cronin.
The statement offered by Mr.. Menken,
signed by NJ. Linn Bruce, Robert G. Morris,
r. Fulton Cutting and other fusion dele
gates TO the conference, denied that Mr..
Cutting had made the remarks attributed
TO him and denounced the report as a bra
zen attempt TO discredit the fusion cause.
After the meeting Mr.. Menken said that he
and his colleagues would form another
organization.

county committee tonight announced that

are to discourage early marriages. He
stated that IL was not only a church but a
national issue, and expressed himself as
