Progressive Senator Elect
From Wayne County Plans
To Push Party Bills in the
Legislature.

Senator-elect Walter McConaha OF
this city, who will represent Wayne

year, has under consideration the in

into the Progressive state platform.
Mr.. McConaha realizes that the en-

by the voters of Wayne and Union

FARMERS ADOPT MEANS
TO HALT STOCK PLAGUE
Aroused Danger and Mouth Disease Wayne County
Men Form Protective Association to Stop Hunting and to
Clean Up Farms for Week Beginning November q.

Following the lecture by Chester G.
Starr on the foot and mouth disease
yesterday, about one hundred and
twenty-five farmers took immediate
action to prevent the spread Of the
disease to Wayne county, by organiza
ing the Wayne County Farmers Pro
tective association, with Harry B
Macy. of Dalton township as chairman
The farmers were impressed with
the danger of allowing the disease to
get started, and many expressed sur.
prise at the various means by which
the virus could be spread. as outlined
by Mr.. Starr. who said that unless the
plague was stamped out before it be
came native to the state, it would
cost Indiana from $1O,0O0,O00 to $15,
600, 600 annually.
Professor David W. Dennis of Earl
ham college, in short talk urged the
Importance OF taking action to quaran
tine the county, and proposed that
resolutions be adopted by the farmers
present.
Reads Quarantine Law.
DR.. F.. w. krueger. county health
officer, read the state quarantine laws
which would have to be in force If the
county adopted an official quarantine
These laws provided that there could
be no intercourse between farms, anG
that no livestock could be driven or
public highways, and all traffic across
the county borders would be stopped
This action was considered too strin
gent by the farmers and it was agreed
that a personally conducted quarantine
by the farmers would be sufficient.
Resolutions were adopted asking the
cooperation Of county officials anC
corporations handling livestock tt
assist the farmers in preventing the
disease. The resolutions included the
prohibiting of hunting, and the setting
aside of the week of Nov. % as clear
up week on Wayne county farms.

SISTER TO man
Who LED EmDEN
LIVES NEAR CITY
Mrs. William Sleeth Recog-
nizes Newspaper Picture of
German Cruisers Captain
as Half Brother.

Mrs. William Sleeth, living on the
of Richmond. is a proud and happy
woman. She has discovered that the
greatest naval hero the world war has
SO far produced, Captain Carl Won
Muller of the German cruiser Emden,
which until it was sunk in an unequal
battle with a more powerful English
warship two weeks ago earned for
itself the title the "scourge of the
seas" is her half brother, whom she
has not seen nor heard from since he
was boy sixteen years Of age.
That the commander of this German
cruiser, whose exploits were only
rivaled by those of the Confederate
commerce destroyer Alabama. was her
half brother was discovered by Mrs.
Sleeth when she saw his photograph in
The Palladium, published few days
ago and which she describes as a re-
markable likeness Of him.
Won Muller is Prisoner.
Captain Won Muller was one of the
few survivors Of the Emden after it
fought is gallant and losing battle with
the English battleship Sydney off the
coast of India. He is to be taken to
Australia as prisoner of war and
the Australians are preparing to greet
him with honors due to a gallant foe.
Il last saw my half brother, Captain
Won Muller, a son by my fathers
second wife, thirty years ago when he
was about sixteen years DID," said Mrs.
Sleeth today. LAS boy he was of an
adventurous disposition and played in
cessantly with boats. Our home was
in Wiesbaden. We children always
told him he would some day be a great
sailor and he would gravely tell us he
expected to be.
Then l came to America and have
never seen nor heard directly from
him since. My sisters in Germany
have written that they heard from him
very infrequently. but sailors are row
ers you know. l believe that Carl, be-
fore entering the German navy served
on an English merchant steamer
served under the flag which he nearly
drove off the Indian and China seas
the three months following the out
break Of the war. l am very proud of
him.
The German nation is also proud of
Captain Won Muller and for his re-
markable exploits he will probably re-
ceive the iron cross from the Kaiser.

printed on posters and posted on the
farms and cross roads of the county.
Farmers Oppose Hunting.
Hunters will be severely dealt with
by farmers who find them on their
premises without permits, and will be
turned over to the sheriff for prosecu-
ton.
Considerable merriment was occas.
ioned by farmer who said the county
commissioners had refused to prohibit
hunting because they thought the rab-
bits would spread the disease faster
than the hunters. He said, "On my
farm there are lot more hunters
than rabbits
Harry Macy, president Of the Wayne
County Better Farming association
was appointed chairman with power to
appoint three farmers in each town
ship to put up the posters, and to re
port any infringement of the state OF
federal laws.
Next week will be "clean up week,
and farmers all over the county will
be urged to shoot rats, pigeons, buz
yards and crows, and stray dogs, which
not only carry the germs of the foot
and mouth disease, but are active
agencies in spreading hog cholera.
Mr.. Starr suggested that this was ar
excellent time to start an active cam
paign against hog cholera, while farm

Hits State Line Men.
Several farmers who live near the
state line were present and stated that
the interstate quarantine between In
diana and Ohio was working greai
hardship on them. Some of them have
cattle just across the line, and with
pasture gone, and the hauling of hay
or grain across the line prohibited, con
ditions are really serious. Mr.. Starr
said that by producing an affidavit
that the feed had been harvested

HUNT FOR DESERTERS.
Army Agent and Police
Search District.

If there are army deserterS in Rich
mond. they are either not receiving
mail or are living under assumed
names.
This was the conclusion of a travel
ing agent OF the war department who
is making trip through this district
trying to locate deserters who gave
addresses in this territory Seven or
eight who have deserted in the past
three months gave Richmond as their
homes or the home of their next
friends.
The army agent left today after he
was unsuccessful in loacting any OF
the reserters on his list. The police
and sheriff are also agents of the gov
ernment in detecting deserters.
