BLACK HEAD IN TURKEYS.

There has been considerable
loss among turkeys in Colorado
this fall from black head, or what
is scientifically known as Entero-
hepatitis. The name black head
was given because the head is
supposed to turn purple when the
turkey is attacked by the disease.
This we have found not always
to be true. The name Entero-
hepatitis was given on account of
the greater diseased areas oc-
curing in the intestines and liver.
The disease is caused by sin
gle celled animal parasite called
Amoeba meleagridis. This germ
or protozoa, is taken into the body

carbolic acid or creolin. Sick
turkeys should be isolated and
not allowed to run around and

known cure for the disease, the
| turkey had better be killed and
the body cremated. Feed should
be given in troughs, rather than
thrown on the infected ground
and thus increase the danger OF
, infection. The watering troughs
should be enameled so that they
can be thoroughly cleaned morn

"It was said that 200 soldiers

PARIS AGAIN MENACED
BY WATERS OF SEINE
Flood Situation Once More As
sumes Serious Aspect

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE flood situation
In Paris has again assumed a serious
aspect, forcing a second evacuation OF
the houses in Alfortville and other of
the suburbs and undoing large part
of the work that had been done since
the former crisis was passed.
The stage of the Seine at Pont du
Austerlitz is 19 feet 5 inches and it
will undoubtedly go to "a feet, or
within four feet of the recent maxi
mum stage.
Clear skies give some hope OF avoid
ing a repetition of the former disaster,
but the reports from other parts Of
France are not encouraging.
Hundreds OF poor are again fiocking
into the city, the water having driven
them from their homes. Many OF
these had begun the work Of refur-
nishing their homes, through their
own and the governments efforts, and
the second loss will fall with unusual
severity.

FINDS AMERICANS IN
NICARAGUA SAFE
Consul Reports on Conditions
at Matagapa.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Americans In
the Matagalpa district, now the war
center iE the Nicaraguan revolution,
are all well, according to the report
of Consul Olivares, who went there
in person to investigate the COM
plants of outrages committed by the
Madriz troops. The report of Olivares,
which has been transmitted to the de-
partment of state by Vice Consul Cal
dera, at Managua, makes no further
comment on conditions in Matagalpa
than to say Americans there are safe.
If that is the full report of the con-
radically changed. 1t was reported in
the revolutionary circles here that a
further investigation of the Mic
araguan situation was being made by
Lieutenant Commander Symington of
the navy and Lieutenant Price of the
marine corps. There is feeling Of
decided uneasiness among the Central
American diplomats as to what the
report of these two officers will be.
Mr.. Olivares reports the evacuation
of Matagalpa by Chamorro. This
seems to be in line with the strategic
plan which has been predicted here
all along and it is now forecasted that
Chamorro and the main wing of hi
army will next be heard from at
Granada, where his family Is all pow
erful and he will be assured of ample
reinforcements and unlimited supplies.

CHAMBERLAIN TAKES OATH
Former British Leader Appears in
House OF Commons.

London, Feb. 1.-For the first time
since he was stricken with paralysis
years ago Joseph Chamberlain put in
an appearance In the house of COM
mons and took the oath as member
of the new parliament The advent
Of the tariff reformer was quite unex-
pected and afforded a dramatic sur

who were being sworn in. Mr.. Cham
berlain walked with marked difficulty,
being assisted by his son, Joseph
Austen Chamberlain, and Lord Nor
peth.
Mr.. Chamberlain advanced to a
front seat before the bench, where the
oath was administered. When the
membership roll was placed before
him for his signature he required the
aid of Austen. who signed the name of
the father, the latter appending his
mark. Still Supported on either side
Mr.. Chamberlain moved to the speak
er's chair and shook hands with Mr..

Then the famous leader made his
way slowly from the chamber within

CARRIED A CREW
OF TH|RTY-TWO
Fate Of Naval Tug Nina Re-
mains a Mystery.
LITTLE HOPE FOR VESSEL

Department Officers Express the opin
ion That the Craft Has Gore Down
With All on Board-GIeam Of Hope
In Report That the Missing Tug Had
Been Sighted Fades Away by Later
Dispatches.
Washington, Feb. 17.-The tug re-
ported to have been spoken off Mon
tauk point on Sunday by the steamer
Bay View and which was thought to
be the Nina was the naval tug Apache.
The fate of the missing Nina and her
thirty-two men is as much a mystery
as ever.
A CLEAN of hope for the safety oi
the Nina came with the statement
from Newport News that the captain
of the whaleback steamer Bay View
had sighted the missing craft off Mon
tauk point, l.. l., last Sunday, but this
hope faded away with the receipt OF a
telegram from the New York navyyard
making the positive statement that
the vessel sighted was the tug Apache
one of the searchers.
Another telegram was received from
the captain of the torpedo boat de
stroyer Lamson, who stated that he
had covered the belt between the
longitude of the eastern point of Mar
thas Vineyard and Block island and
down to- where the transatlantic
steamers cross the belt, bua found nc
trace of the missing tug.
Naval officers expressed themselves
as OF the opinion that the Nina had
gone down at sea with all on board
While the search will be continued fol
some time it is apparent that little OF
no hope rs entertained that the Nina
will ever again be heard from.

FOR DRESS PARADE ONLY
New York Minister Criticlses the
American Navy.

Bridgeport, Conn. Feb 17.--Dr. John
Wesley Hill Of the Metropolitan tenn
pie. New York, in an address before
the Manufacturers association here,
talking upon the subject of "mer-
chant marine," declared:
"It's all right to talk about our navy
being a big one and first class pow.
er, but we know 1t to be false. We
have navy invincible in peace, but in
visible in war. Our navy should be
supplemented with merchant marine.
III we were to fight with Japan she
could get 100000 men to the Philip
pines and 100000 to Hawaii before we
could get 10000 on the Pacific coast
ready to embark. In view OF these
facts, what good is our navy, anyway,
except for dress parade?"

AS THE RESULT
or A SCANDAL
Trouble Brewing for AIber-
ia Government.
ONE MINISTER RESIGNS

Haste In Guaranteeing Bonds Of Paper
Railroad Causes Members Of Cabinet
to Quit and II Is Said the Premier
VIII Abdicate and the Dissolution Of
the Present Legislative Assembly
May Follow.
Edmonton, Alb, Feb. 17.-As q re-
suit of a scandal growing out of the
guarantee of the interest on construc.
tion bonds of the Alberta and Great
Waterways railroad w. H. Cushing,
minister of public works in the al
berta cabinet, has resigned his cabinet
seat and other difficulties for the gov
ernment are threatened.
1t is the old story OF government
with an overwhelming majority being
gradually weakened by a disposition
to exploit rich country. 1t is now
said that Premier Rutherford viii re-
sign and that dissolution will follow,
with Gushing being called on to form
government. The governments at
titude on the bonding of this new line
to the remote north has aroused criti.
cism.
The manner In which the whole af.
fair came before the government
through Kansas City promoters; the
haste with which the government,
when the legislature was not in SEES
sion, guaranteed the bonds on the
basis of $4,000 a mile of road con
structed, and the haste with which the
promoters rushed to New York on
special train TO dispose OF the securi-
ties to Morgan & Co. attracted public
attention.
The fact that the present session
would be called upon to guarantee
bonds for the Canadian Pacific railroad,
the Canadian Northern railroad and
Grand Trunk Pacific was understood
by the wise ones as the reason why
the paper promoters OF the Alberta
and Great Waterways wanted to get
their bonds on the market early.
Cushing is q Wholesale lumberman
OF Calgary and the strongest man in
the government He carries the whole
south country with him and his resig-
nation from the cabinet is therefore
especially significant.

SUMMONED TO
WHITE HOUSE
Solons Prodded for Delay
in Legislation.

WOULD CLEAR THE DECKS

President Anxious to Get Minor Meas
ures Out of the Way in Order to
Give an Open Course to the More
Important Matters Pending in Con.
gress-Hayes of California, an In.
suroent, One Of the Callers.
Washington, Feb. 17.--The slow
progress being made by congress in
disposing of the important measures
which the president has specially
urged is causing him extreme dissat-
isfaction and he Is taking measures to
let that fact be known. He was called
upon at the White House, presumably
at his own request, by several legis-
lators in charge of the various meas
ures.
The necessity for prompt action, at
least upon some of the minor matters
OF legislation, was strongly discussed
by the president. One of the callers
was Senator Beveridge, chairman of
the committee on territories, who is
looking after the Alaska territorial
bill. Others were Senator Carter, who
Is fathering the postal savings bank
bill; Senator Borah, who has distin-
guished himself by his active opposi-
tion to some of the features of the lat
ter measure, and Representative
Hayes, ranked as an insurgent, whose
aid might be helpful in getting united
action by the Republican majority in
the house upon the Republican plat
form pledges.
It Is believed the president desires
that such measures as the Arizona and
New Mexico statehood bill, the Alas
kan territorial bill and others of COM
paratively minor importance be acted
upon at once in order to clear the way
for some of the larger subjects, at
least those likely to give rise to pro-
longed discussion and controversy.
The president will continue his per-
sonal interviews with the various
leaders In the senate and house and
II this course does not avail it Is en-
tirely possible that he may feel called
upon to send special message to
congress saying where the responsible
ity belongs.
The president now realizes that
three bills. each an administration
measure which he has heartily cham
pioned, are in danger Of failing. The
railroad rate bill and the various SO
called conservation bills are still tied
up In committee and the president is
beginning to wonder why 1t is that
the machinery which must be depend
ed on to report them out is not set In
motion.
