STOPPING THE PLAGUE.
Salmon Defends Policy Of the Govern
ment In Killing Diseased Cattle.

Boston. Dec. 2S.-Dr. d. e. Salmon.
chief Of the United States bureau OF
animal industry. has issued a state
ment regarding the prosecution of the
work of exterminating the foot and
Mouth disease. and especially in an.
swer to the forts of certain persons
who have systematically tried to WORK
the herds affected. He says:
I'VE are obliged to face the fact that
there are only two courses to pursue.
Either the diseased animals must all
be killed OF and the contagion stamp
ed out Immediately, thus relieving the
state quarantine restrictions at the
earliest possible moment. or we must
sit down and watch the disease and
try by quarantine to prevent its
spreading.
How long the quarantine would
be prolonged in that case, and how
much the disease would spread can
not possibly be foretold 1t Is certain,
however. that everything which delays
the operations of killing and disinfec-
ton will prolong the quarantine just
to the extent that such work Is delay
ed and the 100000 day loss, more
or less, to the state. will continue for
corresponding period.
up to the present time 1900 head
OF cattle have been slaughtered in
Massachusetts, and II the work goes
on as 1t should with continued CO.
operation from the state officials and
with q friendly public sentiment, all
of the known infected herds should be
killed and disposed of within the next
week or ten days. There Is every rea-
son to believe that this will be &C
complished"

FAITH IN PILLOWS SHATTERED.
One Did Not Serve to Protect Money
Of Theodore Fredricksen.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 27.-Theodore
Fredrickson. a resident of Atlantic.
journeyed to Omaha and brought a
large sized bank roll. Because of his
belief in pillow protection Fredrickson
now mourns the loss of $3.50 in crisp
government currency. which loss he
reported to the police.
Fredrickson came to the city on
business and before leaving Atlantic
drew from the bank nearly $500 in
cash. This he placed in his inside
pocket, thinking that 1t would be Sc
cure from the shrewd methods prac-
ticed by the light-fingered gentry. AZ
ter his arrival here he went to the
Klondike hotel and registered. retiring
about ] o'clock. Between that hour
and o'clock g. m. his financial condf.
ton underwent sudden change and
he was reduced nearly to poverty. Be
fore retiring he took the precaution to
protect his valuables by removing his
vest and placing 1t beneath his pillow.
Fredrickson did not awaken until early
in the morning and his first thought
was of his cash. Upon looking for his
temporary bank he found that during
the night some thief had entered his
room and removed the big roll with
out awakening him, and a hasty
search failed to produce any results
His gold watch was not taken.

What Has Been Going on
During the Past

WARRANTS FOR THEIR ARREST
Quartette to BE Charged with Murder of
Jerry Corcoran One Week Ago-Coa
Famine Is IA PossIbility-Many Orders
Cannot BE Filled.

Des Moines, Dec 2S.-An informa-
ton charging James w. Burns. George
Beverage, John Ba These and Carrie
Ba These with murder in the first de-
gree was filed in Justice Duncan's
court today by Chief of Detectives
Eli Hardin. The quartette will be
charged with the murder of Jerry
Corcoran at the Ba These barber shop
at 116 East Court avenue aturday
night, Dec. 20. by administering to him
an overdose Of morphine in pursuance
Of plan devised by Burns to rob him
OF check for $38.S5 which he had
earned as member of the steel gang"
on the Iowa Falls road now being built
into Des Moines.
The confession of Beveridge, in
which 1t was charged that Burns had
administered the fatal dose to Cor
coran. mas been published. Yesterday
a written confession was extracted
from Ba These and an oral statement
was secured from the woman and
from Burns himself In all of these
the story of Beveridge was corroborat-
ed.
Burns himself admitted that he had
procured the morphine and had him
self taken a dose and had given Bere-
ridge some of the drug, but he in
sisted that he was too drunk to re-
member whether he also gave Corco-
ran portion or not
Mrs. Ba These stated that Burns
had gone after the poison and return
ed to the house with 1t the night In
question. She said she did not see
the drug administered.
Ba These said that Burns had told
him during the evening of the MUIR
der, that he was on his way to the drug
store, and that Burns first discovered
the dead body OF Corcoran.
The statements were ELECTED from
the Ba Theses and Burns by Chief
Hardin yesterday In the presence OF
County Attomey-elect Miller. and the
present and future assistant county
attorney, Robert Brennan. The au-
thorities are so certain of their case
against Burns and the others that they
propose to proceed at once to the
prosecution.

VENEZUELA CASE
GOES TO HAGUE
Meeting of the Cabinet at
Washington Decides That
Course Is Best.
ROOSEVELT WAS PREFERRED.
But All Parties to the Controversy Have
Consented to Let the Whole Matter Go
Co the Hague : Monroe Doctrine Not
Endangered.

Washington. Dec. 81. - President
Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator
of the Venezuelan controversy. The
whole vexatious subject will be refer
red for adjudication to The Hague
Tribunal.
Epitomlzed. this was the situation as
1t has resolved itself at the conclus-
ion of the cabinet meeting yesterday.
The meeting was not so long as the
sessions usually are. All the mem
bars except Secretary Root were pres
ent. The Venezuelan question was
discussed and was about the only topic
OF general interest. Secretary Hay
presented the net results of his cable
correspondence with, the governments
at London, Berlin, Rome and Caracas.
In accordance with the suggestions
made by President Roosevelt through
Secretary Hay. President Castro was
reported to have agreed to submit
the differences to the arbitration of
the tribunal at The Hague. The Euro
pean powers not only consented to
submit the controversy to arbitration
but while they had expressed a desire
for an arbitration TO be conducted by
President Roosevelt, they had assent
ed to bis suggestion that the presenta-
ton of the case received the hearty
approval Of the cabinet. No fear Is
expressed by the administration that
the Monroe doctrine will be brought
into the controversy in any manner
that might result In an embarrass.
ing situation for the United States.
Secretary Hay Is preparing a note
to the powers In which the gratifica-
ton Of this government is expressed
for the course agreed upon. No init
nation Is given on the conditions
which MAJ have been imposed by the
European powers or by President Cas-
tro to the arbitration. It is known
chat Great Britain was willing to sub
nit the question to President Roose-
gelt without conditions, but the sug.
gestion is made that one and perhaps
two of the other powers involved pro-
posed some conditions which might
have proved embarrassing to the presi-
dent IL he undertook the responsibility
of determining the question.
1t is understood that some money
must pass. but 1t is also known that
the amount of cash to be required
Of Venezuela before the arbitration is
not so large as has been stated. It is
not possible to learn whether the allies
insist upon apologies from Castro and
while 1t is assumed that the blockade
will be speedily raised no arrangement
for that end has as yet been made.

Immediately upon the adjournment OF

SHIP ORDERED AWAY.

La Guaira, Dec. 27.-The Swedish
bark Framnas, from Cardiff. with 475
tons of coal for the La Guaira- Caracas
railway, British concern, arrived on
this port and was ordered to remain
outside the blockade line. Then
orders were conveyed to the captain
OF the bark to leave. This step was
taken because the coal was consider
ed contraband OF war. The vessel was
not seized. as she left Cardiff before
the trouble with Venezuela COM
menced.
The captain of the Framnas is
awaiting orders from his consignees.
The Dutch consul here has asked
for permission of the commander OF

trade with La Guaira. are at present

Des Moines, Dec. 29.-Coal deal
ers say that the cold snap

lated at many points in the state dur
ing the weather and that they are
again up to their necks in rush orders
from dealers who are demanding i'm
mediate shipments and claiming that
unless they are made suffering will
be occasioned.
In Des Moines the situation has not
shown marked improvement over a
week ago and orders booked a week
ago are just being filled. The COM
panies are in slightly better shape
for handling shipping orders, though,
and are keeping up to within from
three days to a week of them.
Continued cold weather il is feared
will make the situation out in the
state serious. In Des Moines dealers
say that so long as consumers will
keep up The good work of ordering
a week to ten days ahead Of time Of
actual need that there is no actual
danger of serious trouble.
Shippers are carding the retail trade
in the state and urging upon it the
necessity of taking advantage of the
first mild weather to stock up and
relieve the situation at the mines, say
ing that II they allow their stocks to
run low there will be no help for
them In the event of another cold snap.

TRIED TO SAVE HIS vALUAeLEe
Mysterious Joe Howard Was Wound.
ed Three Times In the Fight.

Clinton, Ia, Dec. 29.-One of the
most sensational hold-ups in the his
tory of the city occurred here recent.
ly when three masked men entered
the apartments Of Joe Howard and
three companions and demanded
their valuables. Howard had a belt
around his waist containing $1,000,
and $3.50 in his pocket. beside a val.
liable diamond ring and a diamond
stud, and would not give up his val
uables.
He grappled with one of the robbers.
and in the struggle that ensued, was
shot three times. However, owing to
the fact that the men were locked in
tight embrace, the robber could not
get a good shot, and all his bullets
struck at such an angle that serious,
but not fatal wounds were inflicted.
Seeing that he could not escape the
robber, Howard fell at the last shot
and feigaed death, but the robber was
not to be baked and commenced to
hunt for the mans money, whereupon
the struggle was renewed. The rob
Der got diamond pin from Towards
tie, but while trying to take ring
from the latter's finger, Howard Sc

pidore. When his pistol emptied. the
robber struck Howard on the head
laying open the scalp.
Howard then kicked out the win
dow and called murder. "whereupon
the burglars fed. While the fight
was in progress one of the other rob
bers relieved Towards companions
of their valuables and 5000. while the
n. a H.
is no clew.
The robbery raised the question as
to who Howard is and what Is his
business. He has elegantly furnished
apartments and appears to be wealthy.
He came here from Chicago several
months ago. but has never made
known his business. He does not con-
duct a gambling house. yet gamblers
are his companions. He gets several
kilograms each day, but there is moth
ing to indicate his business.
