lucky.
First Time Infection Has Obtained
Foothold East of Mississippi
Government Acts.

The disease of sheep known as
scab or scabies has become SO prev
alent in Kentucky that the secretary
of agriculture has considered it nee.
eSsary to declare a quarantine This
action comes after thorough exam
nation into conditions The fact that
the disease Is contagious, being
spread by parasites known Is scab
mites, makes necessary measure OF
protection sufficient to prevent its
spread into other states. Injection is
known to exist TO a slight extent in
two adjoining states, but conditions
there are not serious enough to re
quire federal quarantine.
The order for the quarantine.
which IS effective August 16, pro
vides. that sheep shall be moved in
terstate from Kentucky only under
the following conditions: Sheep that
are diseased with scabies and thai
have been dipped once in an approx
ed dip under the supervision of an
Inspector OF the bureau of animal in
drstry within ten days before ship
ment may be shipped interstate to a
recognized Strengthening center foi
immediate slaughter If diseased
sheep are to be shipped interstate for
stocking or feeding purposes they
shall be dipped twice with an inter
val OF ten days. Other sheep may be
moved interstate for feeding or
stocking purposes after one dipping
Under government supervision, or
they may be shipped interstate under
quarantine restrictions Tor immediate
slaughter without dipping
Inspection and dipping under the
regulations will be performed only at
points, where federal inspectors are
stationed. Louisville is at present the
only place in the state having dipping
facilities, but if proper yardiug and
dipping facilities should be installed
at other points the department OF az
ricuiture would consider the advisa,
bility OF ESTABLISHING inspection a.

has been quite prevalent in the
West, but as a result OF the com
bined efforts OF the federal and state
authorities much territory has beer
entirely freed and the infection H.
other sections has been greatly re

DEFEND OPTION LAW.
Brief Filed by Counsel for Anti-Sa-
loon League Declares Measure
Constitutional

indianapolis, Allg. 14.--Numerous
reasons for the contention that the
county local option law. under which
saloons have been voted out OF vari-
Gus counties of the state during the
last year, is constitutional are cited
III a brief filed in the supreme court
by Attorney General Bingham; R. c..
Mintcn. attorney for the Anti Saloon
league, and the law firm of Hanly,
Altman & McAdams, the members
OF the latter firm being former Gov
ernor Hanly Judge Samuel Artman.
who rendered the decision that the
saloon Is a nuisance, and c. V. Nc
Adams. formerly a member OF the
Indiana railroad commiss on. THE
brief is the State OF Indiana's answer
to the brief filed by the attorneys for
George Mcpherson, the Mobiles ille
saloonkeeper who, with others, is
bent upon testing the law. The case
is an appeal from the Hamilton cir
cult court, where the law was held to
be constitutional.
Four Principal Reasons.
Four principal reasons are given by
the states attorneys in contendmg
that the law is constitutional The
first is that the title OF the act is not
defective, as contended by Abe OPP
posing side The second is that the
act does not delegate legislative pow
err to the voters, as contended; and
the third rs that the taking effect OF
the act does not depend upon the
vote OF the people The fourth reason
Is that neither the act of 1908 nor All
affirmative vote under it suspends the
act OF 1875 and the acts supplemental
and additional hereto 1t is contend
ed that the act OF 1908 County local
option law merely provides for an
additional limitation upon the juris-
diction OF the board OF county com
Customers to grant saloon licenses.
The objection urged against the IL
le OF the act by McPherson's) attor-
neys is that the act is a prohibition
statute pure and simple and that the
subject, Prohibition" is not express
ed in the title The states attorney
coniended that negative vote under
the law does not authorize the sale
OF liquors nor does an affirmative
vote prohibit their sale. but an affir-
NATIVE vote adds an additional limi-
tatlcn to the power OF the board o.
county commissioners to grant liquor
licenses. 1t is contended, therefore.
that the local option law is not a pro-
hibition statute
