CATTLE DISEASE ABATINe.
Authorities Are Easing Up On ouaran,
tine.

Commissioner Noll, of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board, announced
that the foot-and-mouth disease has
been gotten under control in Washing
ton county, where the first outbreak OF
the disease appeared in the State. Six
herds in all were attacked by the
scourge throughout Washington coun-
ty and all of this stock has been
slaughtered and buried In lime. DR..
Thomas McKeown of the Federal
Bureau of Animal Industry, completed
the disinfection of affected farms in
the county and the general belief Is
that there will be no more outbreaks
in Washington. The announcement
was also made that all diseased herds
in Montgomery county have also been
slaughtered and buried, and the last Of
the affected cattle OF Frederick was
disposed of.
Distinction by government inspec-
tors of infected farms in the latter two
counties will be completed this week
and the Live Stock Sanitary Board will
then further ease up the quarantine in
many sections relative to the shipment
to Baltimore OF live stock for imme-
date slaughter
The plan to be followed will be that
in every case where a Maryland stock
owner has a herd of cattle or hogs to
be shipped to the city for slaughter he
will notify the State live stock off,
Gals and veterinarian will be imme-
diately dispatched to the scene to ex-
anime the stock. If the physician
pronounces the animals whole q
special permit will be issued to allow
the shipment.
Neither any positive or suspicious
cases of the foot-and-mouth disease
were reported to the Live Stock SAM
tary Board Saturday and the officials
of the latter are growing more and
more optimistic over the situation.
though they are unwilling to predict
as yet that the scourge is under con-
troll throughout the State. There is
possibility that in some remote Sec
lions Of several counties owners may
be attempting to conceal the fact that
their stock has been attacked by the
disease
With the full appraisements still in
complete, Secretary Melville, of the
State board. announced that the in
fected cattle already slaughtered has
cost the State more than $4,000. The
State pays half the appraised value Of
the slaughtered animals and the Fed
eral government the other half The
above amount does not include the
other expenses the State has incurred
in fighting the disease. and when the
full cost is figured up it is estimated
that the epidemic in Maryland will
have cost the State more than $4,000.

RELIEF IN WASHINGTON.
Huerta Resignation Deemed First
Practical Step To Peace.

Washington, D. C.-News of General
Huerta's resignation as Provisional
President of Mexico was hailed by Off
cial Washington. as the first practical
step toward quick solution of the
Mexican problem.
Constitutionalists, diplomats and off,
cials of the United States Government
did not conceal their satisfaction over
the fact that General Huerta at last
had voluntarily eliminated himself
from the situation and pointed the way
to an era of peace in his country.
Although the Constitutionalists have
declared they would not recognize
Francisco Carbajal as Provisional
President any more than they did his
predecessor, and the United States
Government likewise will refuse to
recognize him, the understanding here
is that the new Executive will hold
Office only until satisfactory arrange

President Notifies Senate He
Wishes to Have Them Ratified.
BRYAN EXPLAINS THE REASON
In Most OF Present Agreements There
Are Exceptions That Do Not
Prevent Recourse To
Arms.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son. through Secretary Bryan. has noti-
fed the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee he wishes to press for ratifca-
ton before adjournment of this ses-
sion Of Congress the new peace treaties
signed with 20 foreign powers.
The Presidents plan was communi-
Gated in a statement to members of
the committee by Secretary Bryan.
Copies will be<sent to every Senator
when the treaties are submitted for
ratification this week.
In his statement Secretary Bryan set
forth the following analysis of the gen
eral purposes of the treaties:
That investigation shall be resorted
to in all cases where the ordinary re-
sources of diplomacy fail.
THAT the contracting parties reserve
the right to act independently on the
subject matter after the submission of
the report.
THAT there shall be no appeal to
force until the investigation is COM
pleted.
THAT the commission Gin each case)
be composed of five members, one
chosen from each country from among
its own citizens, one chosen by each
country from another country, and the
fifth to be chosen by agreement of the
two countries from some third country.
In few cases provision is made for
the appointment of the fifth member
by the four members or by some
neutral power or tribunal in case the
two countries cannot agree"
Discussing the proposed treaties,
Secretary Bryan said:
"In most of our treaties there are
certain exceptions and in most of these
treaties the exceptions are: The vital
interests, the independence and honor
of the two countries and the interests
of third parties It is evident that
these arbitration treaties do not pre-
vent recourse to hostilities with regard
to the causes included in the excep-
ton clause 1t is the intention that
the treaties now being exchanged shall
close this gap and leave no cause for
a declaration of war and the beginning
of hostilities until there has been an
investigation of the differences. 1t is
believed an investigation will not only
give time for the subsidence of passion
and the restoration of calm and de-
liberate judgment, but that it will also
be useful in separating questions of
fact and questions of honor"
Treaties already have been signed
with Salvador, Guatemala, Panama,
Honduras, Nicaragua, the Netherlands,

OF Late oIea Bull Vaughan's

Boston, Mass.-A restitution suit,
whereby minority stockholders seek to
compel former and present directors
to restore to the treasury of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company approximately $loZ'-
100000 alleged to have been Illegally
used in building up the system, was
begun in the Supreme Court here.
The complaint alleges that losses
resulting from the acquisition OF the
Boston and Maine trolley and steam
ship properties by the New Haven
amounted to $102 100000, and that
under the federal antitrust act, the
New Haven Company is entitled to
recover from the defendants three
times that sum, or S06,000,00O.

ton was brought, issued an order OF

not be appointed in accordance with

The plaintiffs, who are trustees OF
the late Olea Bull Vaughan's estate
and own so shares of the capital stock,
asked for a receiver to take possession
of all claims in favor of the defend
ants, but not to interfere with the ad-
ministration of the curr~nt affairs OF
the New Haven company. They asked
also that shares of capital stock held
by the defendants be not disturbed
except by order of the court and that
they later be applied to the payment
of any court decree that might be
issued.
