PLANS WAR ON RABIES.
State Livestock Sanitary Commission
to Protect Citizens.

Lansing. Mich. June 12.-The Mich
igan state livestock sanitary commis-
sion is making plans to wage a war on
rabies during the coming summer.
President II. II. Halliday said today
that people are apt To underestimate
the prevalence of the disease
Records of our office show an
extent of trouble from rab-
les" said Halliday today. Great loss
in livestock and a sad record of death
to people are the annual toll. Our
method of procedure is to respond to
such call as speedily as possible and
TO establish an immediate quarantine
until We have reports from analysis of
specimens sent To a laboratory. In
case actual proof shows rabies we
then resort to radical measures and
protect the public by ordering killed or
confined all dogs or other animals
thought suspicious.
1T is surprising how loath some
people are to part with a worse than
useless dog rather than help in the
necessary work TO eradicate the ter
rible scourge."

London Public Aroused to Intense
Excitement by the Campaign
of Vandalism
ATTEMPT TO BURN CHURCH
Three Fires Set In Effort to De.
stroy Famous Old Edifice
at Chipstead

London. June 12.-The expression Of
anger at the vandalism of the militant
suffragettes was more vehement than
ever today among the general public,
which is aroused To intense excitement
over yesterdays attempt to blow up
the historic coronation stone and chair
i'm Westminster Abbey. A closer eX-
animation showed that the damage to
the chair was slight. and .that the
stone was not injured at all.
\ demand for drastic punishment of
the women engaged in this campaign
of destruction is heard on every side
II is known that much of the money
handed over by the largest subscribers
To the funds of the militant Organiza-
tion is sent with the earmark of "Edu-
cation" Mrs. Pankhurst being left To
decide what that means. II is be-
lieved, however, this clause will not
prevent the law from reaching persons
who provide funds used for crime.
Three distinct fires were set by suf-
fra9ettes this morning in an attempt
To burn the church of st. Margaret at
Chipstead, fourteen miles southeast of
London. The rector and villagers ex-
tinguished the flames before damage
was done. The church dates from the
twelfth century.

CAMPAIGN IN MINNESOTA
COMES TO AN end TUESDAY

st. Paul. Mimi. June 12.-What
promised at first 10 be rather II tame
campaign for state and other Offices
in Minnesota has developed into some
exceedingly spirited contests with the
near approach of the date for the gem
held next Tuesday. when all paitie
will make their selections for all state
officers, representatives in Congress,
associate justices of the state supreme
court. members Of the Legislature and
numerous county officers. Candidates
successful at the primaries will follow
up the campaien to the general cleo
ton i'm November
The Republican party is the only one
to have a candidate this year for every
ddates for all places on the state tick
ct with the exception of clerk of the
supreme court. Progressives, Prohibi-
tionists and Socialists have candidates
for all the principal offices.
Eberhart Seeks Third Term.
Most public interest centers in the
fight for the head OF the Republican
ticket. Governor Adolph q. Eberhart
Is n candidate for nomination for a
third term. His chief opponent for the
Republican nomination is William
Lee, Of Long Prairie. a third candi-
date is T.. l.. Raab of Duluth. but 1t Is
not believed he will cut much of fig
urc in the race.
Governor Eberhart is backed by the
so-called state organization, whose OPP
ponents accuse of receiving the support
Of the brewery and liquor interests and
the public service corporations. Ii is
the general understanding among poll
ticians of all parties that in the event
Eberhart will be candidate to succeed
Moses E. Clapp in the United States
senate in 1916.
The anti-organization Republicans
are out to defeat Eberhart and put a
uuietus TO his senatorial aspirations.
Two years ago the Eberhart opposition
to accomplish the same
thing but were at disadvantage be-
cause their vote was split among i've
candidates. This year the situation Is
entirely different. Foreseeing the dis
advantage of a plurality of candidates,
the anti-orSanization forces held n
in March for elimination
At this convention William
T.. Lee was unanimously chosen as the
standard beearer in the fight against
Eberhart.

WILL TEST STATE
REINFORCEMENT


Lansing, Mich, June 12.-In all
probability the legislative re- -apportion-
ment bin passed at the last session of
the legislature viii be tested I'm the
supreme court. Attorney General Eel
lows has advised Secretary Of State
Martindalc to refuse To accept the petit
tions filed by Rep. j. Frank Stevens
of star City from the old Missaukee-
Kalkaska district.
These counties comprised stevens
district when he was sent to the
house two years ago, but the last
legislature shifted the counties and
he is now in the Wexford Missaukee
district. Rep. McNitt is also resi-
dent Of wexford county,
Attorney General Fellows has ad-
vised the state department that there
is no such district. Fellows recalls
that he told the members of the house
that the proposed bill was not consti-
tutional and suggests that the secrc-
tary of state refused to accept the pcti-
tions. Mandamus proceedings will
likely be instituted by Stevens.
Numerous changes were made in the
Legislative district, and if the supreme
court holds that the act is unconsti-
tutional considerable confusion may
result.

declaration Of hostilities, was uttered
today by Premier Venizelos of Greece
in the chamber of deputies. He was
speaking on the treatment of Greek
subjects in Turkey.
The premier's attitude showed that
the danger OF war was imminent.
Venizelos obviously found difficulty in
restraining his language when he spoke
of the way the Turks had treated his
fellow countrymen. He said in part;
THE situation is very grave. If a
stop is not put to these conditions the
Hellenic government will be forced not
to content itself with joining in the
lamentation of the unhappy refugees"
Prolonged cheers greeted the state
ment of the premier. who added that
thousands of Greek refugees already
have reached the homeland from Tur-
key and thousands more are only
order to escape their prosecutors"
Such situation" he concluded,
could not be borne much longer"
The Greek government today sent
vigorous note to Turkey, demanding
the cessation of persecution Of Greeks
in Turkey and the repair of damages
caused to them and their interests.
Public opinion i'm the Greek capital
is greatly excited and demands are
made that the government take imme-
date and sharp action in the matter.

The trouble came after bitter ex

criticised the Mississippi senator and

stating the truth.
When Vardaman sat down Senator
West took the floor and also entered

Senate Vote SO to 35.

ping passed the Senate by vote of
80 to 80.
The passage Of the bill was regarded
as another victory for President Will

voted for the bill on final passage. the
president initiated the movement in
his party for repeal and it was behind
him that many of the Democrats who
voted aye lined up on the last test.

from the white house that tho presi-

Although vote after vote on all sorts

Niagara Falls, June 12.-'The media
tors vii not officially admit to the con-

When shown n dispatch from Sal
tillo Yesterday, stating that the Car
ranZa note made no mention of the
conditions under which he was send
ing delegates, the mediators reiterated
that the admission of the Constitu-
tionalsts is and will continue to be
contingent upon the declaration of an
armistice. The mediators have no OBJ
lection If n conference is held between
Huerta, Carranza. and the American
delegates. In fact. such a suggestion
has been under consideration for some
time, so If an agreement could be
reached between these three parties,
the medlators would finally admit all
to the signing of the protocol.
1t Is considered possible that the
Carranza delegates might he infor-
mally received here and their argu-
ment heard as to why an armlstiee
cannot be declared.

Huerta delegates, said the question of
admission to the conference is mat

The American delegates looked up
on the announcement from Saltillo as
a distinctly encouraging sign. indicat-

the value of mediation as a way of
restoring peace.

Carranza's reply was made here. but
it is understood the note is silent on
the subject of an armistice and does
not give the names of the men who
will be sent to represent the Consti-

Saltillo over a special leased telegraph
wire, and was put i'm the. form OF a
note by Rafael Zubaran, the Carranza
agent here. who forwarded it to Mag
