Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 21.-That
hogs by being inoculated with serum

At the beginning of the test thirty
days age, 35 hogs were placed in an
isolated pen, twenty two of them hav-
ing been inoculated with the serum.
Four of the remainder were inoculat-
cd 18th virulent cholera blood and
nine were given no treatment at all.
The thirteen hogs which were not

the test; while those given the serum
are alive and perfectly healthy. I'M

AIRsHIPs KEPT BUSY.
Aviators at Rheims Take Advantage
IF MINDLESS Day.


Rheims. Aug. 21.-Taking advant
age of the beautiful weather and a
practically MINDLESS day, no fewer
than seven aviators, who are here 1ol
aviation week, brought out their
machines yesterday morning ana
made successful practice fights over
the vast Bethany plateau. At one
time three machines were sailing
over the plain at the same moment,
gliding straight as arrows, or turning
or circling with astonishing ease
and the sight was one OF absorbing
interest. Glenn H. Curtiss, the Amer
lean, was in the air at the same time
as Bleriot and Sommer, the two
French champions. The Farman
aeorplane has arrived here from
Mourmelon.
There was a great outburst OF en-
thusiasm when Bleriot and Sommer,
crossing each others course in the
air, each politely dipped his machine
in salute.
An expert in aviation said yester-
dav that if Curtiss' motor held out he
had a capital chance OF winning the
big international event and, the gem
eral opinion is that this race lies
among~the Farman biplanes and Cur
tiss and Bleriot.

Strict orders had been issued to eX-

SO the suffragettes decided to break
into the building through the trap
door on the roof. In the middle of the
night, the three women secured lad
der and climbed to the roof, where
they hid behind chimney waiting to
put their plan into operation. When
they were discovered, they were near
" perishing from wet and cold, but
they declined to come down, and
much difficulty was experienced in re
moving them from their perilous 20
sition.

Incidentally the ambassador briefly
discussed with President Taft the sit

reported there is considerable unrest
over the report that the United States
and Mexico, acting in common, may
exert still stronger influence for the
settlement of the constantly arising
difficulties among the little republics
by amicable means, and thus put an
end to the frequent wars and revolu-
tionS.
The ambassador declared at the con-
clusion of the interview that there

his visit. Later, however, he sent a
series of long cablegrams in cipher
to the city of Mexico. President Taft
had brief talk with Attorney General
Wickersham, but put off until today
the serious consideration of the out
line of the proposed changes in the
interstate commerce and antitrust
laws, which Mr.. Wickersham has
been considering and which he will
lay before the commission of govern
ment officials selected by Mr.. Taft
next week.
Mr.. Wickersham will also take up
the matter of the reorganization of
the department of justice and of the
bureau of corporations in the depart.

the interstate commerce commission,
looking to the effective cooperation
of these agencies in order to secure
more rapid and certain enforcement
