HAY SHORTAGE IN
CHICAGO IS ACUTE
STRICT GOVERNMENT QuARAN.
TINE PREVENTS SHIPPING IN
OF ANIMAL FOOD.

Chicago, Nov. 13-Alarm over a
shortage of hay in Chicago by reason
OF the quarantine was expressed by
dealers today. Hay which sold at SIT
a ton last week cost $40. This city
requires 1000 tons of the feed a day.
but yesterdays receipts were 300 TONS
The supply at present is sufficient
for ten days, and unless the quarantine
which is scheduled to last sixty days,
is modified, it is said that the situation
will speedily become acute.
The National Hay association, with
headquarters at Winchester, Ind, has
taken up.the matter with the bureau of
animal industry at Washington, but
local dealers say that it has been able
to accomplish but little.
The quarantine is SO strict that not
a pound Of hay can be moved from one
railroad to another in Chicago, and
southern buyers, whose local markets
suffered from drought, have been m
formed that Chicago cannot aid them

LITTLE MONEY TO
COMBAT EPIDEMIC
AUTHORITIES SHY
ON CASH TO USE IN FIGHTING
CATTLE DISEASE.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-Avail-
able money for fighting foot and mouth
disease is getting low and officials OF
the department of agriculture are con-
fronted with a perplexing situation.
Lack of funds is hampering the depart
ment and when congress reassembles
in December, a special appropriation
will be asked.
Scarcity of funds has forced the de-
partment to ecoTomize in it's fight
against the disease, and instructions
have gone out to field agents to save
herds wherever the disease develops
in only few animals. Half of the ex.
pense of slaughtering is borne by the
federal government.
No specific appropriation has been
made by congress for fighting the di-
ease. The only money available is an
appropriation Of 100000 made by con-
gress last year for inspection and
quarantine work. This is almost ex-
hausted and officials do not care to
risk creating a deficit because under
the law they are liable to heavy fine
and imprisonment. The officials are
seriously considering how to discover

To Spare Some Cattle.
Chicago, Nov 13.-The slaughter
of entire herds of cattle, hogs and
sheep by state and government Off
Gals as means OF stamping out the
foot and mouth disease has been stop
ped. The word was received yester-
day from Washington by DR.. S. e.
Bennett. in charge Of the local Office
of the bureau of animal industry The
order, which was signed by Dr.. Mel
vim, chief Of the bureau, is to slaugh-
ter only the animals found to be in.
fected.
The text of the order as telegraph.
ed to Dr. Bennett follows:
lowing to scarcity Of funds it is
considered advisable to save as many
animals as possible, therefore you are
instructed to make efforts to save ami
mails for food purposes In cases OF
large herds where disease appears in
only a few animals"
Heretofore it has been the policy OF
the government to condemn every
hoofed animal on farms where the
disease has been discovered. The ap
praised valuation Of the cattle al
ready slaughtered under government
order will run, it is said, over the
100000 mark Farmers In Indiana
and Michigan whose stock was slaugh
tered several weeks ago, have not
received compensation for their prop
erty. The emergency fund of 100000
which Secretary of Agriculture Hous
ton had counted on using has been
consumed nearly in the mere expense
of inspecting cattle in the fourteen
states in which the disease is now
found.

A rumor has spread around the city

The police cannot explain Just why
the call should have been sent IN and
everyone at the house where the am

of the calling. An effort is being made
by the police department. to find out
from where the call was sent and TO
determine whether fight had taken
place.
