versity's Head Are Made
Directors.
FOUR PLACES ARE FILLED

Stockholders OF the Southern Railway
at the annual meeting In Richmond, Va.
elected yesterday four representative
Southern men to Its board Of directors.
following the policy Of President Fairfax
Harrison--to make the board one In full
sympathy with the South and It's needs.
DR.. Edwin A. Alderman. president OF the
University OF Virginia. and Or. John C,
Kilgo Of Durham. N. c.. Bishop Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. were
two OF the new directors elected.
Several university presidents and other
educators have been elected to rail-
road boards OF directors in the last
two years, the most notable being Presi-
dent Hadley OF Yale, who went to the
New Haven board. The election OF Bishop

however. Is probably the frst case OF the
selection OF a churchman to the directing
board OF railroad
The educational work In agricultui e
and development done by the Southern
has been a big feature Of It's progressive
programme, and II is thought that the
election of the Bishop and the university
head has been made in further extension
OF It's plan OF broad community develop
ment.
The other New Directors.
The other new directors elected yes

It is apparent that the interests OF the

The debate on the bill took wide
range. Senator Gronna OF North Da-
kOta criticised the President for not calling
In the $75,000,000 OF Government funds
on deposit In national banks, Instead OF
recommending additional war levy. Sena-
tor Gronna charged that these deposits
had gone TO favored banks In Southern
States.

the disease they will cooperate
heartily In stamping it out.
The first three outbreaks of
the disease, in 1870; 1880 and
1884, were comparatively trif-
ling. In 1902, however, the dis
ease gained considerable foot
ing in New England before 1t
was discovered, and in 1908 1t
cropped out in Michigan, New
York, Pennsylvania and Mary
land. 1t is believed that on the
last occasion the disease was
spread by shipment of cattle from
Detroit to Buffalo, whence the
disease was carried by other ship
ments to New York and through
Pennsylvania to Maryland. The
cause of the present outbreak is
not definitely known, but II is
probable that the disease was
brought from abroad in a ship
ment OF hides intended for man
ufacturing purposes.
Foot and mouth disease is al
ways to be found in some quarter
of Europe, and there is always
need for precaution to keep II
out of this country. An infected
herd loses 20 to 80 per cent of
its value. the department esti-
mates.

SIXTH Time FOOT and MOUTH
HAS SHOWN IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. -
Foot and mouth disease among
the cattle has made it's appear
ance this year in the United
States for the sixth time in the
history of the country, it is an
nounced by the Department OF
Agriculture. In addition to a
rigid quarantine being maintain
ed in four counties of Michigan
and Indiana where the disease
has been discovered, a farm to
farm inspection to ascertain the
seriousness and extent of the
outbreak is being conducted by
the department..
Although the foot and mouth
disease is fatal in small per-
centage of cases only, the total
damage that IL causes in a seri-
, GUS epidemic is enormous, the
department says. 1t is extremely
CONTAGIOUS and may be spread in
a number of ways. For this rea-
son, say authorities of the de-
partment, It is imperative that
the disease be eradicated before
1t, has gained a firm footing. II
1t, should be spread over any con-
siderable portion Of the country,
the department fears 1t could
never be checked.
Interstate shipments Of cattle,
sheep and other ruminants and
swine have already been prohib-
tied from Berrien and Case
counties in Michigan, and La
portefand st. Joseph counties in
Indiana This quarantine extends
to hiaes, skins and hoofs, and
hay straw and similar fodder,
which, have not been thoroughly
disinfected. Railroads are re-
quired to disinfect cars used in
transporting live stock from the
infected area.
In additions to these precau-
tions taken by the federal gov
ernment, 1t is expected that the
state authorities will cooperate
by placing a quarantine on in
dividual farms where the disease
appears. The department points
out that while these measures
may cause some temporary incon-
venience, It believes that once
lrmers realize the seriousness of
