CATTLE QUARANTINE
FINANCIAL BLOW TO
ST, JOSEPH COUNTY
Thy LEASED WIRE.l

SOUTH BEND, Ind, oct. 26.-Arm-
ed deputies today began patrOllfng ev-
cry road in ST. Joseph county under
direction of Sheriff Swanson to en-
force the quarantine on cattle, sheep
and hogs imposed by the federal gov
eminent in an effort to prevent a
spread of the foot and mouth disease
This action is in line with the orders
of Dr. Ulysses G. HOuck in charge OF
the government squad of inspectors,
who threatened to quarantine all In
diana unless the state authorities guar
anteed that no live stock from the in
fected areas be permitted to be ship
ped out.
The case of Haven Hubbard. farm
er near New Carlisle. Ind, is typical
of how hard the farmers are hit. Sat
urday Mr.. Hubbard had 81 thorough
bred HOlStein cattle, 1856 sheep and
$50 hogs killed by the inspectors.
Three federal veterinarians came to
Hubbards farm and found four of the
cattle affected with the foot and
mouth disease They at once doomed
all the cattle, sheep and hogs. That
afternoon there came to Hubbard farm
twenty federal agents, who dug a
trench 12S feet long, eight feet wide
and twelve feet deep on the hillside
When the trench was finished four OF
the federal agents led the herd to one
or the other side of the trench anC
shot them so that as they died they
fell in.
The market value of Mr.. Hubbard's
herd was not less than $4,000. but he
will only get the meat value of the lot
if he gets that.

CONTRACTOR CLASHES
WITH WATER WORKS
North Twelfth and J Streets
. in Bad Condition While
Controversy RACES.

Representatives Of the Richmond
City Water Works company and Con-
tractor Trappier were called before a
special session of the board of county
commissioners today for statement
Of the trouble which has arisen on
North Twelfth and j streets.
1t developed that the water works
company moved it's main in order not
to interior with the building of a sew
er for which Trappier had the con-
tract. The trenches were left expos
ed for three or four weeks, during
which time Trappier did some blast
ing.
After this work was completed and
the trenches filled, Trappier paved
the roadway leading to the Twelfth
street bridge. The water main now
leaks and the company says Trappier
is responsible. They asked that they
be given permission to make the re-
pair without replacing the concrete
paving. Trappier denied responsible
ity and asked that the roadway be ac-
cepted and the water works company
be made to stand the cost.

DRESSES OF CALICO
FURNISH FEATURE
OF REBEKAH. DANG f
Only One Person Violates
Rule and Lodge Makes
Merry at Big Fall Social
Function.

Only one couple In $50 persons fail
ed to comply with the calico rule at the
dance given by Eden lodge, Daughters
Of Rebekah, Saturday night.
Merriment abounded. The program
opened with a general handshaking,
each person being ordered to shake
hands with his neighbor whether he
knew him or not. Then followed q
general jollification before dancing and
card playing started.
Calico dresses of every description
were seen on the floor. The men, not
to be outdone, wore cotton shirts, and
many had calico ties. The dresses
were much admired by the men, and
this move on the part of the women's
lodge may result disastrously to their
individual allowances.
81 thought my wife was wearing a
blue silk Dress" one said. "She tells
me it cost only IS cents, and is fancy
at that"
Old Styles Shown.
Novelty dresses were featured. A
woman wore a calico dress which her
mother-in-law priced forty years ago as
her best. Many of the dresses were
made along similar styles, and it is
said that they bore ear-marks of the
coming style. The old ear-bob fashion
was adopted by number.
Mrs. Russell Strattan, chairman OF
the committee which planned the at
fair was much pleased. So good time
did those present have that none left
until the last dance was danced and
the last card table deserted.
The guests were the husbands, and
the members brought seventy-five
pumpkin pies, besides quantities Of
doughnuts and crackers. To dispose
Of the edibles it was necessary to call
in outside aid. A club dance in the
adjoining hall was thus unexpectedly
supplied with feast. The decorations
were entirely of Halloween effect.
The program was carried out as ar
ranged. A trio composed of Miss Hell
en- Kenworthy, Miss Gertrude Clark
and Mr.. Dixon furnished the opening
song. They were followed by Miss
Leta Roland with a reading; Miss Bes-
selman with vocal solo; Philip Gates
with French horn solo; Ruby Me
dearis, instrumental solo; Howard
Messick, reading; Philip Paul Gates,
vocal solo; George Bishop, a talk on
why every young man should become
an Odd Fellow; and Mrs. Spekenhier,
grand treasurer Of Indiana, a talk on
why and where she became a Rebekah
twenty-three years age.
The dance committee will hold a
affair for the Thanksgiving holiday.

IN SPECIAL SESSION
TBY LEASED WlRE.i

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-President
Wilson has no intention at this time of
calling a special session of congress
to precede the regular one in Decem-
Der, 1t was stated at the white house
today. He will consult with senate
and house leaders directly after the
November election and his plans will
be based on their advice
The president recognizes that not all
the important measures now in con-
gress, including the Jones Philippine
bill the conservation measures, the
seamen's bill, the ship purchase bill
and others can be taken up at the regu-
lar session.
Optimism is still maintained by tho
president regarding the cotton situa-
ton. He said he was certain condi-
tons would improve steadily in the
South. and that all that can be done
for the relief of the cotton growers is
being done.
Cotton leads the list of contraband
articles, President Wilson said, and
for that reason probably will be ad.
mitted to all the belligerent nations
Reports have come to the administra.
ton that England will not place any
obstacle in the way Of cotton going to
Germany.
The president. however, said he had
not heard officially of this declaration
by Great Britain. He made it plain
that he did not think there was any
money lacking in the South. but that
the great trouble was in finding the
exact basis Of the security on which
to lend it, and as soon as a stable price
is fixed for cotton, money will be avail.

THE history of the American ma
tion Is an experiment in democracy"
said the Rev. Mr.. Davis. THE lead

he administration of governments has
cen of an experimental nature, and
lie element of self interest has char
cterized many of these experiments
The Rev. Davis said all constitu-
ons require amending from time to

t in governmental affairs, we be-
re the constitution should be so
item as to include in the exercise
this right all native born citizens
egal age, regardless of sex or race.
erever women have been given
ichise rights, they are introducing
al and humane elements into gov
mental matters.
n all social and economic justice,
