State Veterinarian Eisenmar
Finds it This Section.
Cattle in Carlisle County Will BE
Placed in Quarantine at
Once.
THE LAWS ARE INADEQUATE

DR.. f. T. Eisenman, state veteri.
marian, has been IN this section Of
state for several days investigating
the condition Of cattle and at Arling-
ton, Carlisle county, found several
ca SEES of Texas fever.
There have been fourteen cases of
the diseases in that vicinity, all Of
which proved fatal. The farmers who
have suffered losses from the disease
are: II. II. Brown. who lost seven
head of cattle; l.. ID. Owen, one G.
V. Halsell, one; T. @. Edwards, two;
J. U. McKendall, one; f. S. Phipps,
one; T. N. Holt, one. Dr. Eisenmsn
held q postmortem examination over
COW belonging to Mr.. Phipps that
had died of the disease and found in
it ell the characteristics of Texas
fever.
The disease, it is said, was brought
into the state from Mississippi. j. A.
Jones, Of Arlington, brought two herds
of cattle from Mississippi to Arlington
seven weeks ago and placed them in
lot at that place. Two or three weeks
later other cattle were put in the same
lot. OF this herd two died OF Texas
fever. The Southern cattle harboriIg
the Texas fever ticks are immunes.
When the tick drops off the young
ticks are Matched, and these are in
reality the carriers Of the infection.
There are q number Ct cattle in Car
Isle county that have been exposed
to the disease. These will be quaran-
tined. The quarantine is under the
direction of Judge A. T. Hobbs, Judge
of the county court, and is under the
supervision of DR.. John r. Owens.
health officer Of Carlisle county.
Or. Eisenman made the examina-
tion at the suggestion Of DR.. J. N.
NJ ,CormicK, secretary Of the state
board Of health. This is the first re.
port by the state authorities of Texas
fever among cattle in the state within
the past two years. A federal in
spector made report Of Texas fever
some time ago in Pulaski, Clinton and
Wayne counties, and established
quarantine which is still in effect
Some of the infected cattle in Car
Isle county have gone to Hickman
county. The authorities there have
been notified to locate and quarantine
them.
DIR. Eisenman SAYS that the laws Of
Kentucky are inadequate in the mat
ter of prevention of the spread of con-
tagious diseases among livestock. In
cases where the state laws on this sub
ject are lax the government authori-
ties usually interfere and establish a
quarantine under the provisions of the
federal laws.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
General News Items From the West
End

A decided Improvement was reported in
Brownridge, vice president of the George
town University, who has been under treat
ment at Georgetown University Hospital
for several weeks. When Father Brown
ridge was first removed to the hospital it
was believed his ailment was appendicitis.
He is receiving the medical attention of his
brother, DR.. John Brownridge of Boston,
Mass, who arrived in this city yesterday.
The secretary of the Georgetown Citizens
Association, Mr.. George d. Miller this
morning addressed note to the District
Commissioners inquiring as to whether or
not 1t is the policy of the authorities to re-
pave the roadway of u street between 18th
and 31st streets, or merely to complete the
work on Z street one block between 3Oth
and 31st streets. Secretary Miller also urged
the Commissioners in this letter, to I'M
prove L street between 33d and 35th streets
before the cold weather sets in.
William Wormsley, the coiored man who
is a patient at the Georgetown University
Hospital suffering from two gunshot
wounds, alleged to have been inflicted at
Randolph Md. Sunday by John Owens

Practically all the shot have been extracted

WANT SHARE OF THE BRICKS.
Property Owners Raise Point Under
Granolithic Paving system

r. II. and r. A. Phillips, joint owners of
four houses in Georgetown 3342 to ;;3iS NJ
street, desire to have the old brick side
walks in front of their property removed
and in their place have laid granolithic
walks. under the system which allows prop
erty owners to have this Improvement if
they pay one-half the cost. The property
owners have demanded that they be given
half of the old bricks taken up, which pre-
sents novel point in connection with the
system.
The Messrs. Phillips have written letter
| to the Commissioners, inclosng check for
SIS to pay for 5000 of the brick, which,
they state, can be readily sold al that rate
They say they disapprove of the present
plan of the engineer department of break
ing up the old bricks for basis for con-
crete, instead of selling them whole.
AS the bricks are used under the present
system the letter states, their value is less
than 81 a thousand.
In their communication to the Commits
sioners the Messrs. Phillips say that when
they applied at the District Office recently
for permission to use half the bricks they
were told that they could not get them, as
they were to be broken up to be used as
concrete foundation They assert that the
permit system provides that the property
owner shall pay half the cost of new side
walks, and that this undoubtedly should
be construed to mean half the net cost
They suggest that one equitable plan for
dealing with the millions of bricks taken
up each year under the permit system
would be to give half of them to the prop
erty owner and that another plan would
be to sell the brick at auction or otherwise
| and give half the proceeds of the sale to
the property owner. The bricks, they claim,
could readily be sold for from So to 81 "a

REQUISITION HELD UP.
Commissioner West Moves for Test of
Competing Oil.

Commissioner West has held up requisi-
ton for five gallons of ruby red OIL in
which the property clerk recommended that
the bids of the Standard Oil Company be
accepted, at "a 3-S and 80 10 cents per
gallon.
With regard to the matter Commissioner
West made the following statement to his
associates:
II submit this case to the consideration
of the Commissioners, in view Of the prin-
ciple which will be established by final
action
ut is asserted that certain brand of
oil is desired because ii is considered best
for the purpose. 1t is furnished by a cor
poration having the monopoly of its manu-
facture. Another dealer proposes to fur
nish oil equal to- the brand named at
lower price. l am in favor of accepting the
proposal of the lowest bidder, whose Oil
should be given a careful, thorough and
impartial test. and if found not equal to the
brand named being especially desired
the contractor should suffer the annulment
of the contract.
THE custom of specifying certain articles
against which all competition is barred is
one that is too common In the District gov
eminent. All the departments of the ma
tional government avoid the restriction of
competition by demanding articles of GER
tain makes or equal to- such manufac-
lures The system works admirably is
economical and at the same time efficient"

APPLICATION APPROVED.
Increase of Pension to Be Granted a
Retired Fireman

The application of w. T. Mahorney, a
former member of the fire department. for
an increase in his pension from $40 to $50
per month, has been approved by Commits,
sioner Macfarland.
This action was taken upon the recon-
mendation of Chief Engineer VIM. T. Belt
of the fire department, who stated that
Mr.. Mahorney was appointed a member of
the District fire department February D.
1878, and served continuously for over
twenty-thrce years, he being retired and
pensioned on $40 per month, November
1, 1902.
Continuing, Chief Belt says: During
Mr.. Mahorney's service with the depart
ment he ard l worked together as privates
in No. Engine Company, and-I always
found him to be a good and faithful fire
man. He has large family, entirely de-
pendent upon him for support and | am
satisfied from my own knowledge that on
account of his physical stability, he is I'M
able to do laborious work.
Il therefore respectfully recommend that
his pension be increased from $40 to $50
per month, said increase to take effect No

The Federation of Liquor Dealers of
Washington is in semi-monthIy session this
afternoon at the Maccabee Temple to elect
officers for the ensuing year and to con-
slider the advisability of revising its con-
stitution. 1t is the desire of many of the
members to make the association bona
fide retail dealers organization instead of
accepting to membership all persons identi-
fed with the liquor trade, as has been done
in the past.
President Edward L. Jordan of the ma
tional body. who is member of the local
branch. and Messrs. Hugh Harvey and Will

vention of the national association, which
was held last week in Pittsburg, Pa, will
