lOATHSOME MALADY
IS infectious
Can Be Communicated From Cattle 70
Human Bengs-Germs From Dead
Cattle Infect Ground and Are Con-
veyed to Oother Victims.

LAKE CHARLES, La. July 81
Charbon, deadly and loathsome dis
ease which afflicts cattle, and which
has killed thousands of valuable ami
mails in Louisiana, has attacked hui
man beings now, and many are under
treatment. In Leesburg, the county
seat of Cameron parish, eight humans
have been stricken. Up to date NJ
deaths have resulted.
Charbon has afflicted cattle for cen
turtles, but has seldom visited this
country. 1t was known to the an
clients in Egypt and often scourged the
Asiatic and Oriental countries. 1t is
caused by a germ which enters the
animals skin through an abrasion. 1t
multiplies and causes an inflammation
which turns into a numerous or can
cerous growth which terminates in
blood poisoning.
The disease first made its appear
ance about June 1 in two localities in
Southwest Louisiana, along the Mer,
mentau river near Lake Arthur and
at lola, near Lake Charles. 1t was
not detected in time and spread rapid
ly over neighboring parishes.
Germs from the dead cattle infected
the ground upon which the animals
had died and were thus communicated
to other victims.
The United States government
alarmed by the inroads the disease
has made, has sent experts from the
reau of animal industry to assist IocAl
veterinarians in fighting the plague.
They are urging cremation of in
fected animals and the vaccination of
all others. Once an animal is infect
ed there is no known remedy, but
vaccination seems effective in MAX
ing them immune.
Strict repressive measures were
successful in several parishes, but in
Cameron, cattle dead of the disease
were allowed to lie unburied upon the
prairie, and in the marshes and
>swarms of flies and mosquitoes carried
the germs to other cattle. In this
parish one-fourth of the animals have
died. Since the government expert
has been in charge, however, the in
habitants have taken heart and condi-
tions are improving.

MORE FREAK
LEGISLATION
BILL MAKING 1T A FELONY FOR
A WOMAN TO RIDE ASTRlDE
IN STATE OF GEORGIA HAS
BEEN INTRODUCED.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 26.-Any wo-
man in the state of Georgia who rides
astride will become felon if the bill
introduced in the house Monday by
Representative Wright of Stuart coun-
ty becomes law.
The statesman from Stuart never
saw a woman ride astride until he
came to Atlanta. He was shocked and
Mortified by the sight of a pretty girl
in divided skirts while riding astride
the back of a mettlesome horse. So
he hied himself to his chamber and
prepared this bill:
BE it enacted by the legislature of
Georgia that on and after the passage
of this act it shall be unlawful for any
female over the age of u years to
ride astride any horse, mule or ass
or other animal on any street or
road or public highway or any other
public place within the state. Pro-
vided nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to prohibit the riding astride of
any female circus performer within a
tent or other enclosure"
The measure carries a fine of from
$40 TO 500 or Imprisonment.

marked, Referred to the committee

AEROPLANIST FALLS AGAIN.

CALAIS, July 27.-Disappointed in
his efforts to be the first aeronaut to
cross the English channel in a heavier
than air machine, Hubert Latham, who
made an unsuccessful attempt to Ily
over what Napoleon termed "The
Ditch" a week ago, announced today
that he would leave Calais with hopes
of going as far as London with his
monoplane. He got almost across
the English channel but fell into the
sea about two miles from Dover. A
torpedo boat picked him up short
time afterwards.

Calls on the Police.

A similar ovation awaited the avia.
tor at London, his compatriots having
gathered at Victoria station in huge
numbers. With the help of the police
he finally succeeded in getting away
and reached his hotel where he was
presented with the check at luncheon
party.
'Bleriot fever" seems to have seized
large part of the poulace of London.
Those unable to see the flyer himself

being so small it looks like a large

which enabled it's daring manipulation

MonopIane is INDICATED.

AeronauticaI experts here regard NJ.
Bleriot's feat as vindication for the
monoplane type of machine over the
bi-plane. The Frenchman's machine
carries a greater weight in proportion
to its plane serface than any other
type, which fact is considered a great
advantage, Experts declare that the
greater the surface the bi-plane offers
to the wind would have tended to make
one turn turtle on encountering the
aerial whirlpool, which troubled Bile
riot so greatly.

NCRDER WILL OUT.

The moral quality Of the transactions through
which the American Sugar Refining Company,
popularity known as the Sugar Trust. kept the
doors Of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany closed was Of piece with the moral quail
ity Of the actions Of the agents Of the same
trust through which the government was de-
frauded of 100000 by means of false scales
They are two of the most damaging circum-
stances ever brought out regarding the conduct
Of an American corporation. and they call for
some act Of reprobation by the present manag ge-
ment of the corporation involved that will set
it right in the public eyes. The present officers
of the company have broken with the company'a
past of cynical secrecy in many important re-
spects; they can do nothing better than TO make
that break complete and patent.

scales supply a commentary upon the revelations

forms Of cheating: that the agents or the man

It pains US to see fly in the amber of the

Queens that they cannot participate in that

as TO what is done with every penny of a GER

Scandal? Can a scandal be made out of a.

and YOU cannot make a scandal And again
multiply by ten and still you are far away
from the proportions of scandal. Ten times
more and you still cannot interest the public
in the question where the money has gone.

to raise money for his various enterprises. He
offered collateral majority of the shares IN
his refinery company, together with certain other
stocks. Gustav KisseI supposed by Segal to be
an Independent capitalist but really an agent OF

him the money he required. $1.2JOOO0. with the
prOviso that he, Kissel, during the term Of
the loan should name the directors of the sugar

abed the Sugar Trust. which he thought 20

upon took his own life.
Now. it is such methods as these that are re-

make the public ready TO listen to agtators
Fortunately. however. there is ample reason for
believing that the running of the Philadelphia

government by false scales are no more typical
of corporation morality than Captain Kidd's
proceedings are typical of the morality Of the

contempt of public opinion. Whoever was indi-

Its present management is known TO he deeply
sensible Of the faults of the past and to be

is that the moral law is shown to have its penal
ties for corporations for individuals. For the
former as for the latter. murder will out.
