STATE FIGHTING ANTHRAX.
Disease Expert to Confer With Live
Stock Commissioner.

Columbus.-Dr. R. w. Hickman,
chief of the quarantine division, bu-
reau of animal industry, United States
department of agriculture, is in Colunl-
bus for a conference with the Ohio
state board of live stock commission
ers with regard to the efforts of the
latter to secure the enactment of legis-
laion for the eradication of live stock
diseases.
II am here to present the policy of
the bureau and with view of cooper
alton of it with the, Ohio board in its
work." said DR.. Hickman.
DR.. Hickman has been connected
with the bureau since 1885 and he is an
acknowledged authority on all matters
pertaining to live stock. The bureau
was established in 1884.
Most Fatal Ma!ady.
He said that anthrax. taken the
world over, is the most fatal malady
which attacks live stock. Ohio is free
| from this disease. There was one au-
thenticated outbreak of the malady
in Ohio, at Hudson.
DR.. Hickman said that tine economic
| loss in live stock from tuberculosis
annually in the United States amounts
to $23,0O0,00O.
Forty-one states and territories have
laws preventing the admission of dai.
ry and breeding cattle which have not
satisfactorily passed the turberculin
test One of the bills pending in the
Ohio legislature provides for this test
Dr., Hickman urges its passage. Ohio
is behind many other states in its reg
ulahons for preventing cattle diseases.

SENATE GAINS
TWO MEMBERS
Re-Apportionment Puts Losses
in Rural Districts
GAINS ARE MADE IN THE CITIES
cuyahoea County Gains Five, Frank
lin.Pickaway Two, While HamiI-
ton Loses One-How the
Apportionmen is Made.

Columbus. - Secretary of State
Graves has completed the senatorial
apporionment for the next 10 years.
There will be 173 senators in the
next decade, which is only gain of
two over the last decade. Because OF
decrease in population, many of the
rural districts will have fewer sena-
tors in the new decade. City dis
tricts, having gained in population,
get few more senators. The thirty
first district, composed Of Seneca,
Crawford and Wyandot counties, suf'
fered such a loss in population as to
deprive 1t of it's right to representa-
tion as single district. For three
decades 1t has stood as district by
Itself, but now not having population
enough to entitle it to senator in
each of the FIVE sessions, 1t will be
placed in joint district with the
thirteenth district, composed OF Lo
gan, Union, Marion and Hardin coun
ties, the smallest district in the ter
ritory contiguous to the thrruy-first
district.
Loss of Three Senators.
Each of these districts had sena
tor apiece in each session Of the las
decade. As a joint district there viii
be but one senator in the first and
second sessions, two in the third ant
| fourth sessions and one in the las
session. This is a net loss of three
senators.
The new apportionment gives thC
twenty-fifth district, composed o
Cuyahoga county, 23 senators in thu
ten years, a gain of five. The frs
district, Hamilton county, will hav.
16, loss of one. The Franklin
Pickaway district, the tenth, will have
IL senator's, a gain of two. There will
be two senators in each session. Thi
will enable each county to have sen
ator each time.

Will Hold Institutes.

The first work of the association
will be to establish schools of instruc-
ton to be conducted in different parts
of the county during the summer. The
state board of agriculture and the
Ohio horticultural society will aid in
this phase of the associations activ-
ity by supplying experts and lectur-
ers to give demonstrations in prun-
ing, cultivation, spraying, picking and
packing. These schools will assemble
in the open, under the trees. During
the winter months institutes will be
held TO arouse the interest of all
classes in horticultural affairs, and
disseminate knowledge regarding the
latest methods in growing fruits and
combating the plant diseases and in
sect pests that handicap the industry
There will be study of varities best

AUTOMOBILES GO
WITHOUT NUMBERS
ACCIDENT OCCURRED LAST NIGHT
ON FRONT STREET AND MA
CHINE HAD NO NuMRER-NEW
STATE LAW LET'S THEM GO UNI
TIL AUG. I WITHOUT NUMBERS.

Because of the fact that the auto
mobile owners OF the city can go with
out numbers until Aug. the police
are having great deal of trouble with
the careless owners of machines who
have not placed any numbers on their
cars.
Last night while man by the name
of Pollum was driving on west Front
street car approached him from the
rear. The machine had no lights and
Mr.. PolIum started to turn out Of the
way Of the approaching engine. The
driver Of the car started to turn to
the right to go around him and in do
ing so scraped the horses that were
pulling the vehicle.
The buggy was thrown to one side
OF the road by the collision and several
occupants of the rig were badly in
Jured although no bones were broken.
The machine without its lights, and
attempting to pass a vehicle on the
wrong side of the street, went on into
the country and did not wait to see
No number was on the car.
A special officer was sent out to see
IL the car without the number could
be located but nothing could be ascer-
tanned regarding which direction the
car went. The fact that the machine
had no number made the on1cials OF
the city poweriess to act in the case.
Yesterday Chief Bowers OF the police
department held his watch on an APP
preaching automobile and found that
It was going about forty miles an hour.
However when the machine went by
he discovered that the car carried no
number.
Last night another car went rapid
" by the city hall without lights and
1t carried no number.
Under the new state law regarding
the registration OF automobiles the
owners of cars can 60 without the
numbers on their machines during the
remainder Of this month and not be
prosecuted. The law will not let the
car owners carry city numbers after
July ], but gives them until Aug. / to
have the state number on their ma
chimes. In this way the officers are
greatly handicapped by the drivers
who will not carry numbers during the
month.
However, the police tabled a car
number last night the machine rum
ming at 9:S5 without lights. The rep
resAntative Of the company owning the
car will be asked to appear in court
and answer the charge OF running with
without lights after dark.

STALLION AND
BULL IN Duel
5LooDED HORSE BREAKS INTO
STALL AT sHEEPsHEAD BAY
AND DIES IN FIGHT.

New York, July ga fight to the
death between a thoroughbred stallion
and prize winning bull aroused a
good portion OF Sheepshead Bay al
early morning. The noise Of the com
bat In the stables at the race track was
heard q half dozen hlocks away. Both
animals belonged to James F1txsim-
mons, a horseman. who lives at the
corner OF East Fourteenth street and
Avenue 6heepshead Bay.
The horse, FoQuessing, years old
and sire Of number of stake win
ners, occupied box stall adjoining
the bull. How the horse managed to
get out of his stall and break down
the gate OF the bulls Enclosure is not
known. 1t happened shortly after mid
night.
The noise Of the fight brought
George Fitzsimmons, a brother of the
owner, from his house, three blocks
distant and within FIVE minutes a
crowd Of several hundred men gath
cred outside the stables. The below
Ing OF the bull and the screams Of
pain from the horse told which way
the battle was going.
Finally, when F1tzsimmons ven-
tured inside the stable. he found the
horse In it's death throes. The bull
did not try to interfere with the men
who hauled it's victims body out OF
the STALL
Fitzsimmons said neither animal
had ever shown signs OF viciousness
before.
