HOOP AND
MOUTH DISEASE
Spreading Westward and
Grave Fears Are
Entertained.

Washington, Dec. |. The de-
partment Of agriculture is on the
verge Of a panic, lest the dread
ed mouth and hoof disease that
has broken out in New York and
is spreading like wild over Penn
sylvania will reach the cattle
ranges of Texas and the west.
Such a thing is regarded
among the experts of the de.
partment as agrave possibility
and would be a terrible blow to
the cattle industry Of the
country.
So alarming has the situation
become that Secretary Wilson
has telegraphed every railroad
between the Atlantic and the
Mississippi not to accept or per-
NIT to pass out of their hands
without discretion any cattle
car that has been in either New
York or Pennsylvania within the
last six weeks.
The bureau of animal industry
has 200 men fighting the disease
in New York, while experts are
being called in from every quar-
ter to stop the scourge in the two
Pennsylvania counties to which
it has spread.
DR.. Melvin and practically his
entire staff is on the ground
fighting the disease and Secre-
tary Wilson left for the scene of
trouble IN Pennsylvania Satur-
day night.

TARIFF INQUIRY
PLAN IN CONGRESS
Representative TaWney's
Resolution viii Urge
Thorough Investigation.

That the closing dags Of the session
will see the passage of q House reso-
luton for an inquiry into tariff sched-
uies now seems highly probable
Representative TaWney. chairman OF
the House Committee on AppTopria-
tons, already has a resolution outlined
which would direct the Ways and
Means Committee to employ experts 10
make an inquiry the coming summer
and fall into the tariff schedules. with
particular reference to the difference in
the cost of production in this country
and abroad Further than rhis. the resO-
luton contemplates hearings by the
Ways and Means Committee after the
Presidential election.
Were the hearings held before the
election, it is argued. It would be i'm
possible TO separate the tariff from poll
tics. whereas nOnpartisanship in any
movement toward revision Is consider
ed highly desirable.
The obstacles TO a tariff inquiry are
not entirely removed. Representative
Dalzen Of Psunsylvania is holding out
against an investigation OF the kind
Mr.. Tawney proposes. Representative
Payne IS not enthusiastic, but he has
yielded TO the point wherein he will not
oppose the plan. Speaker Cannon has
been counseled with and has been con-
WINGED OF the wisdom OF ordering the
investigation. according 10 statements

ANTLBETTING BILL
GETS NEW FORCE
IN n. Y. ASSEMBLY
Committee Closes Ears
to OppoSition-Pre-
pareS Report.

ALBANY, n. Y. March 19.-The SEN
ate judiciary committee in session this
morning decided to report at once the
Aguew bill. which provides for the re-
zeal of the Percy Gray law. and re-
fused all further hearings. The Jockey
Club was routed, and the last barrier
of the passage of the ant-betting bill
Is down.
Il is said Joseph AUerbach's attack
on Governor Hughes at the hearing yes
terday was mainly responsible for the
refusal Of the members TO grant any
further hearing. although it was known
that the only excuse for hearing was
for delay.
The vote TO give no further hearings
and to report the bill out was unanimous
In the committee, Senators AIcCarren.
Grattan, Taylor, Colahan, and Grady
being absent. Those vino voted in favor
of the bill were Senators Raynes. Page.
Cobb, Davis. Armstrong. Aids. Smith,
and Hingman.
The absence of Senators McCarren
and Grady is regarded as very sig
Hncant. Both were said to have been
about the senate chamber, but refused
10 90 into the executive session Of the
senate judiciary committee.
Instead the two senator's stood out in
the lobby and talked with each other.
Friends of the anti-betting bills now
see no reason, save for some new move
on the part of the Jockey Club, why the
race track bills should not be IN the
hands OF the governor within ten DAYS
No one IN the committee proposed an
amendment 10 the Percy Gray law and
the eight votes in favor were by Re
pubHcans.
