TWO FATALLY
HURT In WRECK
ACCIDENT OCCURS ON ROCK
ISLAND ROAD
Fifteen Persons Altogether Are In
jured-Locomotive Tender De-
rallied and Seven Cars
Ditched

BY Associated Press.
DURHAM, N. M, Feb. 3.-Fifteen
persons were injured, two of them
probably fatally, in the wreck of an
eastbound Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific passenger train four miles from
Durham today.
The probably fatally hurt are:
Louis Cohen, Ell Paso.
L Mrs. F. l.. Munda, Anchor, N. M.
OF the others injured the most seri-
ously hurt are:
Guy Westley Sparta, Wis.
Mrs. Guy Westley, Sparta, wis.
c. H. Jones, Falls Mill, w. Va.
j. H. Dennis, Oregon.
Mrs Margaret Dennis, his wife.
Maletha Dennis.
Two private cars carrying members
of the Chicago Commercial association
did not leave the track and the occu-
pants of these cars escaped with a
shaking up.
The wreck was caused by the derail-
ment of the locomotive tender. Seven
cars were ditched, rolling down an
embankment.
The accident occurred twelve miles
from place from where aid could be
had. Members of the Chicago Com
mercial association who were returning
home from a trip to California aided
the trainmen in caring for the injured.
No physician was on the train. The
wrecked train was running slowly at
the time of the wreck and this fact
coupled with the light travel in the
front cars prevented a great loss Of
life.

TAXES PUPILS FROM QUARTZ
Monrovia, Which Spent Much for a
Hight School, Exacts Fees
From Attendants
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MONROVIA, Feb. 3.-The rule has
been made in Monrovia high schools
that tuition will be charged for outside
pupils, beginning Monday, the second
semester. The rate is SIS per month for
each student and twenty-siX, nearly
all of them from Duarte, are affected.
The announcement was made and at
murmuring from the Duarte element
Professor Nathan Smith this morning
explained the conditions upon which
the charge is made.
Monrovia is a high school district in
itself, as surrounding territory refused
to join with her. The town went
ahead and spent $4,000 for it's high
school equipment. grounds, buildings,
etc, and the whole is maintained at
an expense of $40 per year for each
pupil enrolled. Under the state tax
law for high school purposes the
school received IS year for each out
side attendant, and until a recent en-
actment was not allowed to charge
any tuition. The amendment of the
law last year enables the city to make
some retrenchment on outside pupils
received and the board decided to take
advantage of it.
1t has been suggested that Duarte
may levy a high school tax for paying
the expense of whatever children of
this settlement who may wish to at
tend, as the Arlington district does,
to send it's advanced scholars to the
Riverside high school.

ATTEMPT TO COMBAT
THE TEXAS FEVER
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
TO ISSUE STATEMENT
Quarantine Line Established Extend
ing Across ontiDent-Shrlnkag
in Value of Cattle and Dairy Prod
ucts Reaches High Figure
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a state
ment issued by the bureau of animal
industry of the agricultural depart
ment, says that a publication will
soon be issued by the United States
department of agriculture on the sub
iect of Texas fever a disease which
has been a serious obstacle to the de-
velopment and prosperity of the cattle
industry of this country, especially in
the south"
1t is stated that the infected terri
tory has been carefully studied and a
quarantine line established which eX-
tends across the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Continuing, the
statement recites
ut is estimated that there are in the
quarantined area 4,500,00 of cattle
east of the Mississippi and 11,000, 900
west of that river, which at reduc-
ton of $15O per head will give the
enormous shrinkage in value of $23,
$50, 900 directly chargeable to the cat
tie tick. This should be regarded as
an unnecessary reduction in the as
sets of the infected country.
THE above figures do not include
the decrease in flesh and the lack of
development of the infected animals,
nor the expense of federal, state and
quarantine regulations. The shrink
age in. the milk production of cattle
harboring any ticks will average one
quart per day and the loss occasioned
at three cents per quart for the 375,-
900 ticky dairy cattle out of more than
100000 dairy cattle below the quar-
antine line would amount, to 1886, ,O0C
annually. Approximately 3s7,5OO ami
mails die each year of Texas fever, at
estimated
annum.
with these losses, Texas fever is re-
sponSible for a loss of about $4,000, 600
annually to the stock of the country.
These appalling losses and annual
sacrifices of the cattle raisers, it is be-
lived, can be entirely effaced in time
by methods outlined by the department
at a small proportionate cost.
The department or agriculture has
issued the annual regulation for the
prevention of the spread of Texas fever
effective February l. On and after that
date cattle are not allowed to be moved
from the quarantine area to other parts
of the country except by rail for i'm
mediate slaughter and under certain
conditions prescribed in the regula-
tions. The quarantine area comprises
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi South
Carolina and Florida, the Indian Terri
tory, all of Georgia except few north
ern counties, the southern half of Cali
fornia, the southwestern half of Okla
homa, the eastern half of Texas, the
southern half of Tennessee and a few
counties in Southeast Kentucky the
eastern three-fourths of North Carolina
and the southeastern part of Virginia.
Southern cattle properly dipped or
otherwise treated under government
supervision and frees from ticks may
be shipped without restriction.

PARIS, Feb. 3.-The making of in
ventories of church property under the
provisions of the church and state
separation law took place in three
churches here this afternoon, but
passed off without violence. A num-
ber of the prisoners taken into custody
for assaulting the police during the
disturbance earlier in the week were
tried today and were given various
terms of imprisonment. Among them
was a priest.
kilograms from the provinces show
that the spirit of resistance is still ac-
tive. Fighting took place between
Catholics and anti-Catholics at Agen-
spau. At Olivet the commissioners
making the inventory was driven off
by mob of 300 persons. Later he re-
turned with horse and foot gendarmes,
a company of infantry and battery of
artillery, and after the doors of the
church were broken in and barricade
removed the manifestants were sex-
PEELED from the edifice. At Dijon the
commissioner was forced to knock out
panel of the massive door of the
Church of Notre Dame in order to
gain entrance. He found only the
parish priest inside, who read a protest
against the inventory being made.

COMMANDER Y0UNG'S
REPRIMAND MADE PUBLIC
CONVICTED OF REMlSSNESS OF
DUTY ON BENNINGTON
Failure to Sign Steam Log Of the
Gunboat ls Cause o. Sentence
Against Him-Decared to Be Bad
Example
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Although
not sentenced to a public reprimand
there was made public today the repri-
mand addressed by Secretary Bona
parte to Commander Lucien Young,
who was in command of the Bennng-
ton at the time that vessel suffered an
explosion of her boiler last summer.
Commander Young was tried by
court martial and convicted of remiss-
ness of duty in that he failed to sign
the steam log of the Bennington.
After quoting portion of the navy
regulations outlining the duties of a
commanding officer. the secretary says:
"These duties include the obligations
of good example to all subject to his
authority; these responsibilities incur
a share in the blame incurred by any
among tine latter who may be led to
think lightly of their own duties be-
cause they seem to think lightly of his.
"In your case sir, there was the
greater reason why you should have
been careful to comply in letter ana
spirit with every provision of the regu-
lations because your brilliant services
in the past and your merited reputation
for seamanship and gallantry would
surely render failure on your part to
do all that an officer should do, the
most subversive of true principles of
discipline among the younger members
of your profession.
"a bad example upon the part of one
of your previous record is exception
allv Injurious to the vital interests of
the service, and it is therefore the
cause of profound regret to the depart
ment that remlssness in your duty on
YOUR part should have been thus ju-
diciallV established"

MOROCCO CONFERENCE t
NEARING MAIN ISSUE
QUESTION HINGES ON CONTROL
OF POLICE SYSTEM
Efforts Being Made to Secure Agree
ment Before Matter Comes Up
Before Delegates - France and
Germany in Opposition
BY Associated Press.

lSy Associated FreSS-
ALGECIRAS, Feb. 3.-The confer
ence on Moroccan reforms has now
been freed of most of the minor ques-
tions before it and finds itself fast ap-
preaching the main issue, which hinges
on who shall control the police of
Morocco.
The delegates to the conference have
shown increasing anxiety at the ap-
proach OF this issue, knowing the in
tense feeling ii has aroused between
France and Germany. Efforts are
being made to secure all accord before
the question reaches the open confer
ence and thereby avert an open con-
troVersy and a possible deadlock.
On the one hand France wants con-
troll of the semi-military power, and on
the other hand Germany objects to
French control on the ground that it
would make France the virtual master
of Moroccos political future. These po-
sitions are so opposed as to be almost
irreconclable. yet the neutral delegates
are strenuously continuing their pacific
offices toward finding a common ground
acceptable to both countries
Some of the compromise projects are
on the following general lines: The
first is to leave the police to the sultan
of Morocco, thus avoiding Germany'S S
objection to French control and that
of France to international control. This
compromise is distasteful to France,
but the neutral delegates are seeking
10 reconcile French opposition to it by
pointing out that the sultan would have
to rely upon France to instruct and
discipline the police.
Another compromise vaguely put for
ward is 80 give Spain or some other of
the powers a share with France in the
organization of the police. This again
meets with the opposition of having
France participate in any control OF
the police. Still another compromise,
apparently having the approval of Ger
many, is to institute an international
police for limited and experimental
period, and if the experiment fails
France will then be in a position to as
sumo the organization of the police
France, however, shows no disposition
to accept the plan for an International
police system, even for an experiment
tai period.
II is expected that the discussion of
the question of a state bank may aid in
Il solution of the troubles for If Ger
many is willing to give France a strong
hand over Morocco's finances, France
may yield control of the police for the
present, leaving the future to decide
which power must provide the force to
control Morocco.

MANY KILLED IN

ARE VICTIMS
Twelve Rurales and Eight Teamsters
Murdered and Wagon Train Plum
dered Of $4,000 Worth
Of Goods

Special to The Herald.
TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 3.--Twelve Mex
ican rurales, forming an escort and
eight teamsters were killed. and wagon
train carrying $4,000 worth of mer-
chandise, was plundered a week ago
today near Cobarchi, according to a
letter received here today from George
Beebe, superintendent of the Cleneguita
Copper company, who is in Hermosillo.
Beebe had dispatched a wagon train to
the company's mines on Yaqui river
and on learning that it had, been at
tackled by savages set out at the head
of party to investigate.
He found that Indians. who are said
to have numbered ninety, had slain
the escort, plundered the wagons of the
merchandise and then burned them,
using the horses and mules to pack off
the most valuable goods.
Beebe believes that all of the team
sters were murdered, although bodies
of some of them were not found. The
wagon train was ambushed at Co
barchi. where a party of Americans
was murdered about a year ago.

Apprehension Still Exists Regarding

Alarnnlsts Fear Germany
VIII Repeat Bluff
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-Pessimism is the
chief note of the general opinion on
the European situation. Attention is
turning to the crisis between Turkey
and Bulgaria as a possible starting
point of the conflagration.
A Constantinople correspondent in a
telegram today takes the most Sc
rious view of the prospects of an early
rupture and information from the Bal
kans themselves indicates the state of
alarming tension. The worst feature
perhaps Is the absence Of all threats
and bluster and the strenuous exer-
tions Of Bulgaria and Servia to per-
feet quietly their military prepara-
tionv. Bulgaria Is in an advanced
state of readiness while Servia's ac-
tive attempts to raise money can have
only one significance.
Apprehension regarding the outcome
of the AlgeciraS conference has not
disappeared. Proceedings in reference
to the practically non-pertentous mat
ters imply no increase in hope of agree
ment upon subjects which are really
In dispute 1t is known no private UNI
derstanding has yet been reached be-
tween Germany and France in regard
to administrative and police reforms
and these questions therefore have
been postponed until the end of the
conference.
No agreement is possible unless some
compromise is privately arranged in
advance. In the absence of such an
understanding, the conference must
come practically to an abortive end.
This, however, does not mean war.
Alarmists argue that Germany will re-
peat her dangerous bluff of last sum-
mer in the belief that the new liberal
government in England while support
ing France diplomatically will never
go to the length of joining in actual
hostilities.
II the kaiser relies on this assump-
tion he will make the greatest mistake
of his life. Many sober conservative
Englishmen of all parties are con-
WINGED that a struggle with Germany
in the not distant. future is all but in
evitable They reasoiL with obvious
logic, that the sooner 1t comes the bet
ter for this country.
To allow & ermany to crush France
and turn the latter into the bitterest
enemy of Great Britain would fore
shadow nothing less than the destruc-
tion Of the British empire There can,
therefore, be no doubt as to the course
of Great Britain in case war breaks
out between France and Germany. The
threatened war in the Balkans is wide
ly ascribed to German Vaccinations,
but the best observers do not believe
that 1t is a part of her plan to involve
Europe in a general conflict.
