and used in time to stop the plague.
But they also know that the state
has never made provision large enough
for this work. When the state labor,
atory was started few years ago Il
was regarded as an experiment, for
opinion was divided among specialists
as 10 the value Of the serum in stop
ping the hog cholera. Hence a mod
est beginning was made. Now the
value is known and demonstrated; and
the farmers are going to demand that
the state make ample provision for
the manufacture of enough serum to
supply the farmers of the state and to
sell it TO the farmers at actual cost.
There will also be a demand for a
large appropriation to compensate
farmers for losses where herds are
ordered killed to prevent spread, but
this is not likely to be done, as it
has never been the policy of the state
to enter upon any policy of compensa-
tion.

SHIP LINES HAVE
AN UNDERSTANDING
New York Agent for the Prince Line
Admits Of Arrangement Between
Shipping Companies

Washington, D. c., Jan. 10.-Oral
understanding to maintain rates be-
tween the Lamport and Holt line, the
Houston line, the Prince line, the Bar
Der line and Weir G Boyd's line, car
rying commerce between New York
and La Platte. Monteveido, has ex-
listed since January, 1912. according to
testimony of Paul G. Gerhart, New
York agent of the Prince line today,
before the house merchant marine
committee. His line, he further testi-
fled, had another understanding with
lines doing business between New
York and South Africa. In the La
Platte trade he declared there are no
rebates and no division of territory.
Rates Made In London.
"The time was when we New York
agents of the lines were permitted to
make rates on certain articles" said
Mr.. Gerhart. Now they are made in
London"
when was that change made?"
asked Representative Humphrey
II should say about two years ago.
Speaking of the South African trade
the witness said he believed there
was no pooling but he had no doubt
that the London offices saw to it that
each line got its proportion of the
trade by regulating the trips Of the
respective steamers.

TO MAKE FIGHT
FOR FRANCHISE
WOMEN OF ENGLAND WILL CAMP
ON TRAIL OF MEMBERS OF
HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, Jan. 10.-When the fran
chise reform bill comes up in the
British parliament shortly, the mem
bers Of the house Of commons will find
all the approaches to the chamber
picketed by actresses and other sup
porters of the movement in favor OF
votes for women.
Throughout the entire debate day
and night, the women intend to be
present in strength and to buttonhole
the members Of the house as they pass
in and out.
The Actresses Franchise league
which Is organizing the movement. has
called for help of all similar societies
In making peaceful demonstration
in support Of the adoption of an amend,
ment to the bill intended to give the
suffrage to women.
At the same time the militant sec.
ton Of the suffragettes is said to be
preparing to provide more exciting
time for members of parliament.
At present the suffragists have a
bare majority in the house of commons
If all of them vote for the measure.
1t Is understood however, that many
Of them have withdrawn their support
because Of the methods adopted by the
militants. A large number of liberals
who are in favor Of suffrage for women
will not vote for it now on account of
Premier Asquith's opposition to the
movement and also because of the
way he has been treated by the mill
tants.
Should those members of the house
Of commons who favor woman sur
frage succeed. in having the word
male" eliminated from the bill, three
alternative proposals will be made to
include women. The first and most
drastic emanates from the labor party,
comforting the vote on every woman
in the country who is over Il years OF
age. This has little chance of passing
as 1t would mean adult suffrage, which
meets much opposition The second
proposal is that incorporated In what
was known as the Cancellation bill and
which was defeated by the supporters
of woman suffrage because it was not
democratic enough and would give the
vote to wealthy and we'll to do women
but not to the working women. 1t
simply provides that the vote should
be given to women householders. David
Lloyd George and other influential
supporters of "votes for women op-
posed this, so it, too, is not likely to
meet with favor. In fact, the only
amendment which will receive serious
consideration is that which proposes
introducing the Norwegian system into
England. This system gives the votes
to women householders and the wives
of electors. AS most Of the women
householders are Of the we'll off classes
and all the working men are electors,
the amendment would, it is considered.
fairly distribute the vote among all
classes.

VIII SON BROUGHT
INTO THE FIGHT
The Name Of President-EIect and
Senator O'Gorman Fgure in E'ec-
ton Of Leader.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 10.-The
question of whether President-elect
Wilson and Senator O'Gorman of New
York had Endorsed Mrs. Steven B
Ayres for president of the Woman's
National Democratic league caused a
spirited clash in the second days ses'
sion Of the organization.
Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby, the re-
firing president, and Mrs. NJ. T. Scott,
president general of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, who nomi-
mated Mrs. Ayres, the successful op'
Eonent or Mrs. Crosby, engaged In
spirited exchange.
When Mrs. Scott assembled the plat
form to nominate Mrs. Ayres she was
asked by Mrs. Crosby to step down
and speak from the floor. After de-
claring that she had been insulted,
Mrs. Scott began her nominating
speech In which she declared that Mrs.
Ayres had been Endorsed by President
elect Wilson and Senator O'Gorman.
Other nominating and secondlng
speeches evidenced much feeling and
order was maintained with difficulty.
After Mrs. Ayres had been declared
elected, Mrs Crosby said:
Il am very glad, ladies that you
have elected a new president. I wish
to say that both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
are friends Of mine and I know he
would not interfere in an election of
this organization. propose that he
shall hear how his name has been
brought into this affair. I have lost
the election because of the question OF
whether am free trader and single
taxer or not, and since this is the case,
I do not care to preside over such
set Of women"

MISS GOULD MAY
MARRY NEXT WEEK
Wedding Of HeIress to Rail Magnate
Is Thought to be Slated for
Near Future.

New York, Jan. 1O.-The marriage
of Miss Helen Gould to Finley ]. Shep'
ard of st. Lous is expected to be eel
ebrated next week. 1t Is asserted that
Miss Gould has fixed the date OF the
wedding and that invitations will be
issued within a few days, but as
these are to be confined to near rela'
tives and friends, and home we'd
ding is decided on in preference to a
church affair, the arrangements will
be kept as private as possible.
The wedding will be held at Miss
Gould's country place at 1rvington-on-
the idea of having it at
her Fifth avenue residence in New
York having been abandoned because
of the publicity that has attached to
the announcement Of her engagement.

publications bearing upon all of The
professions, so it is easy to fit out the

These publications are introduced as

Trade Seeds For Documents.
| So the city members, whose consti
tuants could use seeds only for soup
are able to trade seeds to the county
members for documents which inter.
est the city men. And there is always
strong competition among the coun'
| try members for the agricultural year
books, although the city men are
learning that the back to the farm
movement can exhaust their quota of
these in short time if they only cater
| to It,
Senator Kenyon is of the opinion that
| if the frank is limited strictly to off.
cial business. much of the expense in.
cidental to the printing and distribu.
ton of thousands Of government docu.
ments would be done away with. IT
lis only during campaigns that speeches
are mailed to any great extent, but
then the mails are flooded. With
speeches, however, the government
isn't forced to foot the printing bill,
but it is forced to pay a tremendous
mail toll-enough, with the expense OF
carrying other documents, to account
for the annual deficit in the postal
service. =
Towner's Bill Meets Favor.
Representative Towner's bill placing
books among the articles which can
/ be shipped via parcels post has re-
ceived the endorsement of the Ameri-
can Library association at its annual
meeting.
The postofice bill will reach the
house sometime this week and without
doubt strong fight will be made to get
this bill into the next postoftice ap-
preparation law. Members, without re-
gard to their party affiliations, appear
to favor it almost unanimously, If 1t
cuts out advertising circulars.

lows:
THE contestants and appellants say
that they have neither knowledge nor
information sufficient to form belief
that the proper notice Of the filing OF

pearing thereon.
Because of matters and things set

"The contestants deny that the
saloon petition is signed by majority
of the voters .
1.-THE contestants further deny that
the saloon petition is accompanied by
the affidavits of some reputable per-
son showing he personally witnessed

Therefore the contestants demand
that the county attorney shall cause
notice to be served on l.. II. Crisman,
August Diehn and C. H. Bank that con-
testants do here appeal from the de-
cision of the board of supervisors and
that the county attorney appear for

Cwn counsel.
And if bond be filed by the pro-
ponents that the trial shall Immediate
ly be heard by this court summarily,
and if bond is not filed within ten
days that the action of the supervisors
be declared null and void"

affidavits accompanying the statement
setting forth that they personally wit
