Omaha, Sept. with a view to

Eugene H Grubbs, a we'll known
authority on potato culture has been
placed in the field by the Union Pa
cific railway Mr.. Grubbs f, who has
successfully experimental for years in
that line believes the west can in
crease it's potato crop to an extent
which will make needless the present
importation from other countries
which he says amount to about 25,-
100000 bushels annually.
Mr.. Grubbs will undertake to de-
velop the potato industry especially in
states which heretofore have given T.
comparatively little attention. He be-
lieves much of the sand country can
be made to produce sufficient pota-
toes to supply the present deficit.

DEBS ATTACKS T.R.
Charges Him With Being an Oppres-
SOr of Labor.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sep. 7.-Eugene
V Del bs Socialist candidate for preSi-
dent. has invaded what is regarded as
the Progressive party's stronghold on
the Pacific coast and in an address
renewed his attack upon Colonel
Roosevelt for alleged unfriendlIness
to labor while governor of New York
and during his administration as
president He declared Roosevelt s'in-
stinctively was with the oppressors of
labor while in executive positions
After denouncing President Taft
and Governor Wilson and their re-
spective supporters Mr.. Debs said
ironically:
"And now comes the Progressive
partv-The Salvation Army-coming
just in the nick of time when we were
about to go to the bCw-wows. AS if
by magic it arose. At its head stands
the self appointed defender of the
working class"
The speaker said that Roosevelt

militia to shoot down workingmen-

STUBS HAS Plan
Governor Wires 100 Towns
About Horse Disease.
Wants to See if Feed and Drink
Precautions Will Help.

| Governor w. r. Stubbs today sent
100 kilograms to mayors, bankers and
| merchants in towns in western Kansas
urging that all horses be placed on
! dry feed and allowed to drink only
we'll water in the effort to stop the
| heavy loss of horses from cerebro
| spinal meningitis. If the theory on
which Governor Stubbs based his tele-
grams. proves a true solution of the
trouble in western Kansas, it is be-
lieved that the epidemic which has
| caused the death of thousands of
horses can soon be blocked.
When Governor Stubbs went to his
Office this morning, there was a small
pile of kilograms from farmers, pusi-
ness men and officials in western Kan
sas, who appealed to the Kansas
executive for assistance Stubbs was
billed to speak at a big picnic in Doni
phan county today, but when he read
those appeals for help, he cancelled
his speaking date and is spending the
day trying to help solve the problem
that confronts the farmers in thirty
counties in the short grass district.
Shortly after noon today this tele
gram was sent to 100 towns in the in
fected district:
Information indicates horses fed
dry feed, watered from wells, are not
subject to fatal disease prevailing in
your county. Kindly wire me how
many horses have been sick or have
died recently your county which have
been kept in livery stables or private
barns fed exclusively dry feed and
watered from wells Accurate facts
regarding this matter of utmost i'm
portance in present situation. If
above theory is true. farmers can safe
lv replace horses lost, market present
crops and put in wheat this fall. Above
also indicates remedy and prevention
of disease.-W. r. Stubs, Governor"
From DR. L. N. Akers, of Stafford,
Governor Stubbs received a letter stat
inE that the use of dry feed had solved
the trouble in a number of cases where
animals were in the first stages of the
dis ease. Dr. Akers spent week in the
infected district at the personal request
of Stubbs and his experiment was based
on the placing of 100 horses in dry feed
let's. Where the animals We're in the
first stages of what Akers terms grass
staggers,'' cures were effected Animals
in the second stages, however, seemed
to be beyond assistance.
1t is on the theory advanced by DR..
Akers, backed by the opinion of other
experts who have visited the field, that
Governor Stubbs believes he will be
able to solve the difficulty and perhaps
save hundreds of horses.
Just at this time the horses are badly
needed for early farm work. The death
of hundreds of animals in some of the
counties has rendered farm work al
most impossible and this trouble to-
dollars by live stock owners, has been |
one of the heaviest losses the short |
grass district has suffered in recent |
years.
Now an effort will be made to stop
the spread of the disease by placing all |
animals in the feed lots and giving |
them only dry feed and well water
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-09-07

and early summer caused the grass to
| grow luxuriantly. Subsequent rains he
says, have freshened the pastures, and
! the horses, in cropping the grass, have
| ca ten the mold that has formed at the
| grass roots in the layer of decayed veg
citation. The cattle, he says, because
| of their habit of not eating so closely
to the roots, have escaped the disease.
The mold which the horses have
eaten, according to Doctor Kinsley, IS
food poison, and produces a cerebretis
| in the animal much resembling cenin-
gifts. The diplococcus that has been
isolated by the chemists, he says, is
that caused by eating the mold and is
not of an infectious nature.
Doctor Kinsley left Kansas City last
night for Topeka, where he intends ID
obtain equipment for field work, an
from there he will go into the infected
district to continue his designations.
Sick Horse Attacks Man.
Larned, Kan, Sept. Earl Free
land is i'll at his parents home in
this city from an attack by a horse
crazed with the strange malady which
is sweeping this section. Freeland
was spraying the animal with a prep
aration used to keep away the flies.
The animal turned on him, knocking
him to the heavy board floor and
paved him. Cries brought a man. |
workin gnear the barn, and Freeland |
was pulled from beneath the crazed
animal.
Quarantine Against Kansas.
Oklahoma City, Sept. 7.-Dr. Ben |
DObkinS, assistant state veterinarian |
has been sent by the state board of |
agriculture to the southwestern coun- |
ties of Kansas to investigate the |
strange disease among horses of that +!
section. The federal government is |
making an investigation also.
If necessary, the Oklahoma state |
board will declare a quarantine A !
report from Washington says that the /
disease is a sort of sleeping sickness
due to poisoning in the forage caused
by drouth and short feed supplies |
The malady is said not to be conta-
gious.
Denver, Colo, Sept. 7.-Governor
Shafroth has decided to order a quar-
antine against horses from the state
of Kansas, as a result of the epidemic |
that is prevalent among the horses !
of that state. The order probably |
will be signed today upon the gov
ernor's return from Rocky Ford.
WaKeeney, Kan, Sept. THE Who'll, |
sale loss of horses among farmers IN |
this county, has caused great alarm and
the loss of thousands of dollars to |
stock raisers in this section of the |
state. After being seized with the /
disease, horses have been /
known to die in from one to two /
hours, while in other instances ami. /
mails have lived a couple of days.
In many instances horses lost by I
farmers here were mortgaged a year
ago when the farmers We're hard hit
by a short crop. Now, with a fair crop
they are losing their stock and are un-
able to proceed with their fall work.
No effort will be made to bring more
horses into the county until the cpl
demic is successfully checked.

RILEY NOT CLEAR
''Trusty" in County Jail Free
6 quentIy Away for Hours.
County Attorney Loses VaIu-
able Papers in Case.

Additional evidence of the Edmonds
robbery has been heaped upon John
E. Riley, the negro who is held in
tail at Tulsa for the Salina postoffice
robbery. Stolen articles of jewelry
have been found where they were left
by him in Topeka.
The police have not ceased working
on the theory that he committed the
Platt murder. An effort was made to
establish an alibi for him, but this is
not given credence by the police They
say ''trusty" prisoners at the county
Jail are given considerable liberty, and
at times are permitted to go and come
just 8 bout as they please.
Simon Loses the Letters.
Postoffice Inspector Elston is trying
to locate letters which were received
by Coroner H H: Keith and the news
paper offices with money that was
taken from the PIatt place, but has
been unsuccessful. These letters were
given to E. r. Simon, the county at
torney and he cannot find them.
These letters are regarded as the
most important factor in connecting
Riley with the murder. The police
are assisting Inspector Elston in try
ing to find them.
In 1910, Riley was arrested for steal
ing a bicycle from C. S. Kistler. He
pleaded guilty to the charge of petty
larceny and was sentenced to serve 80
days in the county jail He went to
prison September 16, 1910, and was
paroled by the suggestion of the ccun-
tv attorney February "a, two days
after the murder was committed.
However, this alibi is not considered
by the police. Otto Anderson, who
is now a member of the police depart
ment was jailer of the county prison
at that time. In an interview he says
Riley the same as other "trusty"
prisoners, was given considerable lib
erty and that he was allowed to leave
the prison about noon and return in
time for supper
It is possible for him to have COM
mitted the murder under these con-
ditions and Detective Anderson is con-
vinced that he did.
An effort may be made to bring
Rilev's wife to Topeka. She is in
Tulsa, Okla, but the police believe
that it is possible to secure informa-
ton from her which would assist
them in connecting Riley with the
murder

j. r.. KOOntz Sends Out Queries
to Santa Fe Men.
State Will Soon Be Out of
Funds, Stubbs Says.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Hallway company has rendered its
services to the state in the movement
to stamp out the horse disease. ]. r.
Koontz, general freight agent of the
Santa Fe, had a conference with Gov
ernor Stubbs and ]. H. Mercer, live
stock sanitary commissioner, this
morning. After going over the re-
ports of the veterinarians, they start
ed a telegra phic inquiry to establish,
if possible, the fact that horses fed in
stables, and given fresh water, have
not been attacked by the disease.
Governor Stubbs wired the mayors
of the cities in the infected counties
for information along this line and Mr..
Koontz sent similar messages to all the
Santa Fe agents.
TT is of the highest importance
that We ascertain the conditions under
which horses are not troubled with
the disease" Governor Stubs said
IF we can find that stable fed horses
are free from the ailment, we VIII
have solved the problem of stopping
the spread of the disease, without in
terfering with the search for cause
and cure, which the veterinarians are
making"
Santa Fe Furnishes Specialists.
Mr.. Koontz offered to have two or
three high class veterinarians, familiar
with western conditions-the best the
Santa Fe can employ-report 70 MI
Mercer Monday for work IN the nelu-
fer and the new men probably Will
be sent to Manhattan first to examine
the specimens collected by she Kansas

Governor Stubbs yesterday after-
noon telegraphed to the agrlcultural
colleges of several western states ask
ing that ther best men be sent TO
Kansas to help solve the mystery sur
rounding the epidemic.
1--WE can't nave too much expert
opinion" Governor Stubbs said we
will take all the help we can get
Santa Fe Oners Cash.
Mr.. Koontz told Governor Stubbs that
the Santa Fe would make cash con-
tribution to the cause, if necessary.
I'VE have money enough for the pres
ent..'' Governor Stubbs said, but our
funds won't last long a the rate we are
going. I appreciate the offer of the
Santa Fe. and I trust that other Big
Business will take an interest in the
If the national government
learns that institutions like the Santa
Fe are aroused over the condition IN
Kansas, perhaps it will pay more at
.ention to our appeals for help"
