Infection is carried upon the whole
surface of their body, especially
on the mouth and feet, as we'll as
in their stomachs. All of the nat
ural discharges from a buzzard's
body are disease laden at all times,
hence it behooves every owner of
live stock to see that these disease
carrying creatures are not allowed
to light on their premises.
Aside from public stock yards,
l consider the turkey buzzard
directly responsible for most of
the outbreaks of hog cholera in
Tennessee.
Many of the Southern States
afford the buzzard legal protec-
tion. This accounts in part for
their great numbers. At lone time
the buzzard was protected by law
in Tennessee. At that time any,
one killing a buzzard was liable to
arrest and fine. Of course when
that law was passed no one had
any idea that a buzzard wassuch a
spreader of disease.
Some people are under the er-
roneous impression that the buzz
card at this time has legal protec-
ton in Tennessee. For their ben
eft | will say the law protecting
the buzzard was repealed in 1908.
Since that date the buzzard has
had no legal protection in this
State. Amy person can kill buzz
zard without violating any State
law. Since that is q fact, every
good citizen should do his part to-
ward discriminating the buzzard,
as it is menace to the live stock
raising industry in Tennessee, on
account of being a spreader of hog
cholera and many other contagious
diseases.
If all persons would make it a
rule to bury all animals which die
on the farm. there would be no in
ducement offered the buzzard to
visit their premises. Besides be-
ing an attraction to buzzards, the
stencil from fntid carcasses of
large an'ma}s constitute a public
nuisance in any community where
they are allowed to decompose or
the surface of the ground. Some
effort should be made to induce
the incoming General Assembly to
pass a law compelling owners to-
either burn or bury all carcasses
of animals which die upon their
premises. Such law at this time
is necessary from human as we'll
as an animal health viewpoint.

TO TENNESSEE FARMERS.
BY Capt. r.. f. Peck, Commissioner of Agr
culture.
The Turkey Buzzard as a Carrier
and TranSmitter Of Animal
Diseases.

Since the turkey buzzard is such
menace to the live stock industry
of Tennessee-on account of being
disease GARRETT is we'll that
our live stock raisers have their at
tention directed to this bird, par
ticularly it's habits and dangers.
The buzzard is one of our largest
and most common birds. It is
filthy and repulsive on account of
being a scavenger. 1t is much
more common in the Southern
States than those to the north of
us; however, it is ocoasionaly OBJ
served as far north as Canada. 1t
exists to a more or less degree in
every State in the Union. The
buzzard is sluggish and lazy in it's
habits and has decided preference
for warm ATTITUDES.
1t is in Southern Alabama, Flor
ida, Georgia and the West Indies,
that the buazard finds life pleas
ATTEST. However the buzzard
breeds end thrives we'll in Tonnes
see. Here we find them present at
all seasons of the year in great
numbers.
It is molested by no other bird,
since it attacks none. 1t makes no
enemies since it feeds almost en-
tirely on carbon which no other
bird grudges. The youngest chick
ems in the yard show no alarm when
buzzard alights in their midst.
They know from instinct that no
more harmless bird to them exists.
The buz2ard depends for pro-
lection entirely upon disagreement
of the foul carrion contents OF its
stomach upon the intruder. When
disturbed in the act of devouring
a fsetid-especially when extreme
ly hungry-they express great dis
pleasure and blow through the
nose. making low, Kissing sound
or grunt, and lift their wings in a
threatening attitude. This hiss.
ing nd,grunting sound is the only
noise buMard ever utters.
Since the buzzard feeds upon
the carcasses of animals indiscrim-
inately and are themselves endowed
with. natural immunity against
most contagious infectious dis
eases, they ere now considered
carriers Of all animal diseases
which are Of germ origin.
They carry the infection OF hog
cholera, black, leg, tuberculosis,
aathrax, glanders end many other
diseases fromtplace to placer Ibis

GOODWIN SEES THEM
Bones of Dayton Frighten
Drunken Man in City Jail.

Never again will touch a drop of
red eye if you will only take my side
kick away" was the promise of John
Goodwin, an habitual drunkard arrest
ed Thursday night. The skeleton of
Henry Dayton had been placed in a
wash boiler and then put into the city
! bastile. When Goodwin was arrested
he was placed in the cell where the
bones of the murdered man had been
placed
Yesterday morning Goodwin began
to make an examination of the cell.
Looking into the wash boiler he saw a
skull and bones of a human being. He
shrieked in horror.
Il guess 1 got em this time" said
John rubbing his eyes and pinching
his right arm. When his breakfast was
served he asked that the bones be re-
moved. His request was granted. His
appetite was unaffected. He was fined
81 and costs in police court by Mayor
Zimmerman. He was unable to pay his
fine and was remanded to the county
Jail.

UNCLE SAM WAITING.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Having
sent an ultimatum to Mexico, the word
ing of which precludes the possibility
of any misunderstanding, state de-
partment officials today awaited the
result of the message, which threatens
the southern republic with American
intervention unless Madero's govern
ment takes immediate and drastic
steps to protect Americans and other
foreigners in Mexico. Some of the
steps leading up to this action were
revealed here today.
1t became known that a number of
European governments, including Ger
many and Great Britain, recently
questioned the state department about
what the United States intended to do
to safeguard foreigners in Mexico. I'm
der the Monroe doctrine European ma
tions cannot protect their own sub.
jects on the western hemisphere so
the English and German governments
are insisting that the United States
extend this protection or compel the
Mexican government to do so.

A BROAD DAYLIGHT
CRIME BY BANDITS
Auto Robbers in New York
Hold Up and Rob Two
Factory Paymasters.
THEY SECURED $1,000
Victims Badly Beaten, Then
the Men Jumped into an
Auto and Escaped.
(National News Association)

(National News Association
NEW YORK, Dec 21-In broad day
light four auto bandits today beat into
two paymasters of the
Silk Finishing company of America at
Bethune and Greenwich streets and
robbed them of bag containing part
of the weekly payroll of mill No. 35.
The robbers then leaped into a big
car at the surb, drove furiously up
Greenwich street, turned east and dis
appeared. They secured $1,000. The
paymasters usually carry more than
$1,000 but part of the force was paid
off yesterday. The holdup was one
of the most daring in the criminal his
tory of the city, ranking with the
great taxicab robbery of last February.
when $4,000 of the East River band
funds was stolen down town.
The men attacked were Charles
Webber of Jersey City, paymaster of
the company for the past six years,
and Edward Wyger, assistant paymas-
ter and son of the company's general
manager. 1t was nearly an hour after
the robbery occurred before a police
man arrived on the scene, although
the Charles Street station is but a
few blocks away The injured men
were carried into a drug store, where
it was found that Wyger had a deep
cash in his head caused by a blow
from a blackjack, and Webber had
been almost choked todeath.

Swindler Buys Unpunched
Tickets from Conductors
and Sells Them to Patrons
of the Line.
SPOTTERS BROUGHT
HERE TO WATCH
Conductors Were Called into
Superintendent's Office to
Tell What They Knew
of Frauds.

Details of a scheme whereby the city
system of the Terre Haute, Indianapo
lis and Eastern Traction company
was swind1ed out of fares from pas
sengers presenting tickets became
known today.
Spoilers from the Indianapolis Office
of the company worked in Richmond
several weeks before they were unable
to catch the trail of the swindler
Early this week they found the mar
| who was operating the scheme.
! Confronted by the charges of the
spoilers, the swindler confessed anC
| implicated three conductors who fur
nished him with the tickets. The com
pany has not decided what action i
will take against the leader of the
gang and his associates. The names
of the swindler and the accused com
pany employees are being withheld.
The sWindler's plan was to buy tick
cts which the conductors received
from passengers and which they fail
ed to punch, as the regulations of the
company demand. The swindler pait
the conductors So a hundred for tick
cts and sold them to persons using thu
line for So hundred.
Although the company is in posses
sion of list of persons who purchas
| oI tiokatc ic that
tion will be taken against them. SOM
of the purchasers were innocent, 9th
ers, the company's officials say, con
nived at the wrong doing of the swim
der
Bring Spoilers Here.
| A diminution in the returns of ceY
tain city lines led the officials to be
lieve that conductors were ""knocb
ing down fares. Spoilers were place,
on the cars to scrutinize carefully tn
manner in which the conductors CO.
lected fares.
They soon learned that several cor
ductors rang up cash fares, but mad
no record of the tickets passenger
handed them. The spoilers then watch
ed the men to see what disposition
was made of the tickets.
The connection between the swinC
Ter and the conductors was readily es
tablished, and he was confronted wit
the charge. He made no denial of tn
accusation.
1t is not known how long the cor
ductors and the swindler have been dt
frauding the company, or how exter
sive the operation was. That the swir
dler is a local man, is in poor circun
stances, and lives in the western par
of the city, is the only informatio
concerning him that has been give
out.
