At the same time reports were sent
from the west that new projects were
forming for a different organization of

rumors were without official sanction,

and Gould stocks advanced 1 to 3
points. Later the general list suffer

Department Of Agriculture Needs

ment of agriculture aga inst the foot
and mouth disease, prevalent among
herds of cattle in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan and Maryland, that
Secretary Wilson soon will ask con-
gress for an emergency appropriation
of 100000 for this work.
While the experts have not been
able to satisfy themselves as to the
origin of the disease in this country,
the slaughter of herds is being con-
tinued with a view of eradicating the
affection. The United States govern
ment is being called upon to pay two
thirds of the appraised value of the
cattle, the state bearing the rest. Not
only is this item of expenditure sum-
ming up into big figures, but the cost
of disinfecting premises is paid by the
federal government and is enormous.
Former Origin Plain.
When the disease affected the cattle
in New England $4,000 was spent in
freeing the country from it, but in
that case little trouble was encounter
ed in ascertaining the origin, while at
Ipresent the. experts have not been SC
successful.
1t is believed that the disease will
be exterminated at a cost to the gov.
eminent of 100000, but that this sum
will not begin to measure the loss oc
casioned by the outbreak. Dealers in
| the quarantined states are appealing
! tc the department daily for permission
to fulfill contracts, whose forfeiture
means the loss of thousands of dol
/ lars, but the department cannot find
| its way clear to grant relief.

was more crowded that last week. NJ

from her husband. The facts thak4fc
count had offered to prove We're irr6le-

they had no bearing uponSth educa-

these allegations were denied by the
princess.

Counsel for the princess raked Cas-
tellane fore and aft when he reached
the subject of the fashion in which he
had dissipated his wife's fortune at
the rate of $1,000,00O a year for IL
years. After detailing the manner in
which the money had been spent
Clemenceau exclaimed: This is the
man who wants his children educated
like a Casteilane; a man without a
profession, who married for money and
then devoted himself to betraying his
wife and his wife's female friends
