RIGID STEPS TAKEN HERE
AGAINST CATTLE DISEASE
Infected Animals in West Chester
Herd Will Be Destroyed.

To stamp out the threatened cpl
demic OF hoof and mouth disease among
cattle in Philadelphia, United States In
spector G. A. Schaufler today went to
West Chester, where infected cattle will
be destroyed.
Rigorous precautions are being taken
in the stockyards here, which are being
cleaned and disinfected daily. The AZ
carloads OF cattle which arrived at the
West Philadelphia yards yesterday were
examined today for traces of the dis
ease by DR.. Il. c. Dingley and his as
sistants. AS the Federal authorities
have quarantined all cattle in Pennsyl-
vania, as well as in Illinois, Ohio, Mich
igan and Indiana, no cattle are being
shipped out OF the State. Shipments
within the State and conslgnments from
States which are as yet free from the
disease are sanctioned, but as an extra
precautlon the Government has ordered
all stockyards disinfected and has pro-
hibited shipments. except for immediate
slaughter The Pennsylvania Railroad
is cleaning and disinfecting all its stock
cars under the supervision of Federal
inspectors, who seal 'and placard the
cars before they leave the yards. Where
yards have not yet been disinfected,
cattle passed by inspectors may be fed
in the cars en- route to their destina-
tion.
The price of meat has not advanced
In spite of the fact that thousands of
Western cattle have been destroyed In
a desperate effort to stamp out the dis
ease. Large meat packing houses do
not anticipate an extraordinary advance
In the price, placing faith in the Govern
ment's ability to check the spread of the
hoof and mouth disease.
Prices may advance a little for time,
but II they do 1t will be nothing more
than a temporary furry" is the opinion
OF the D. B, Martin Company. "Condi-
tlons are a little unsettled at present.

UNION STOCK YARDS
GET ORDER TO CLOSE
BECAUSE OF DISEASE
Governor Dunno, Of Illinois,
Agrees to Step Urged by
Federal Cattle Authori-
ties.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The Union stock
Yards. the largest live stock market in
the world, will be closed tomorrow after
noon at o'clock and remain closed until
Monday. November IS. The closing,
which the Federal authorities have been
trying to bring about for a week be-
cause of the possibility Of the spread Of
foot and mouth disease, was finally
agreed to last night by Governor Dunno.
AS the cattle. sheep and hogs now on
hand are disposed of by the packers, the
empty pens will be thoroughly secured
and disinfected.
The foot and mouth disease was recog-
nized as a national peril when the Fed
eral authorities extended the quarantine
to New York and Maryland. Illinois, In
diana, Michigan and Pennsylvania had
previously been duarantlned. Shipment
Of stock out from the yards at Buffalo,
Pittsburgh and indianapolis has been for
hidden.
That meat prices would be advanced
was denied today by Edward Tilden, pres
ldent Of the National Packing Company,
There have been no cases OF the dis
ease reported In the West where we get
the most of the supply" said Mr.. Tilden.
'As long as the West is not infected
quarantine here and in the East will not
raise the wholesale price of meat. We
have large supplies on hand"

IXLODGERS BURN,
MANY SAVED WHEN
FLAMES GUT HOTEL
Fiiremen Rescue Unconscious
From Upper Floors-Per-
sons Leap From Windows.
Some Reported Missing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-six men were
burned to death and many were saved
through thrilling rescues by iremen and
police today when FIRE Quilted the Waverly
Hotel, lodging house at 352 sth avenue.
The six who lost their lives were burned
to death in their beds or caught in the
Railways as they rushed through flames
in futile effort to reach safety.
The fire had swept away the stairways
TO the top floor of the structure before
It was discovered and an alarm sent In.
Firemen from hook and ladder company
No. 12 performed gallant work in bring
ing a number of unconscious persons
from upper floors down their ladders.
There seems small hope Of ever ident-
flying the dead. They are burned be-
yond recognition. Several arc reported
to have been injured loaping from
windows, Fifty dodgers are thought to
have been sleeping in the place. Some
are reported missing.
Fire Chief Renlen, who directed the
fight against the flames destroying the
lodging house, declared It was a veritable
fire trap. 1t was a four-story building
built Il years ago and when the stair
ways were burned, the occupants had
no chance to escape except by jumping.
The fire is believed to have been started
by cigar or cigarette butt" thrown
carelessly away by one of the dodgers.
The fire broke out on the second floor
and was discovered by watchman Peter
Kelly. He gave the alarm Immediately
but before the occupants Of the building
could be aroused, the hotel was a fur
mace.
This was typical New York lodging
house." said the fire chief. "They call
the sleeping quarters rooms. but they are
nothing but stalls, even unfit for animals.
A fire starts and within two minutes q
whole floor is a furnace The wooden
partitions go up like tlnder and the men
have little chance for their lives. There
are a lot Of other lodging houses In the
city just as bad. 1t is a wonder moro
were not killed"
Coroner Healy was summoned to the
scene and began an investigation.
