BEGIN ID D|SENFECT UNION STOCK YARDS Eight Hundred Men Will Be Employed in Work
 at Chicago

Chicago, November 5.-Disihfecting Of the empty pens at the Chicago Union Stock Yards began today in preparation for the complete shutdown because of the foot and mouth disease that will be in ef- feet from Saturday until November 15. There are $40 acres to be wet down with disinfectant sprays. Eight hundred men will be employed In disinfecting the 1000 pens, 725 chutes and 25 miles of water troughs.
 Supplementing the federal quarantine against interstate movement of cattle from Illinois, the state livestock board has prohibited after Saturday all cattle ship ments between points within the state.
 Meat packers said today there would be no tie-up of their industry as present supplies of cattle were sufficient to Keep the plants busy during almost all the quarantine period.
 Few new cases of the disease were re- ported today. The 6Q0-cattle held to blame for the presence of the disease in Chicago were destroyed. Eighteen prize cattle out of lot of 1000 exhibited last week at the national dairy show also were killed. B. J. Shanley, state veterinarian, said the re- naining prize cattle brought here from 20 states and Canada would be held for developments.
 Illinois has decided to cooperate with the federal government in every possible way" said MT. Shanley. If the disease should spread to the western ranges we never would be able tv rid the country of it.
 The national livestock show, set fo. one week beginning November 2s, it was said, probably would be called off.

GENERAL VON KLUCK
 IS REPORTED DEAD

Paris, November 5.-(S:55 a. m.) The correspondent of the Excelsior at Havre says he has from a source which he cannot designate news of the death of General Von Kluck 10 days ago in a hospital at Namur, where he was treated for a wound in the head. The news of the alleged death, the cores pondent says. has been carefully con cealed in Belgium and Germany
 General von KlucS, who led the dash of the German right wing, which got to within a few miles of Paris in the first month of the fighting, has been reported within the last few days in official quarters as directing his army in the fighting on the River Aisne.
 When the scene of severe fighting shifted to Belgium and the German right wing was extended into that ter ritory, General Won Kluck, following his skillful retreat from the vicinity of Paris, remained in the position he had taken on the Aisne.
 The fighting there recently has been overshadowed by the operations in Belgium and General Won Kluck and his army, according to reports. have been given a much needed respite.

SUGAR COMPAN
 WOULD BRING ID END THE ANTITRUST SUIT
Proposes to Settle Question of Alleged Monopoly of Sugar Industry By
 Agreed Decree

Washington, November 5.-The Ameri- can Sugar Refining company has made another proposal to the department of jus tice to end the government antitrust suit against 1t and to settle the question of it's alleged monopoly of sugar production by an agreed decree such as recently was made in the New Haven railroad civil case.
 Although department of justice officials declined to discuss the proposal, 1t was understood here tonight that James M. Beck. counsel for the company. made the proffer and that it was declined. It was said that the fact that the case is now in the courts and that decision may be expected shortly figured in the re- fusal It is not known here just how far the company was willing to go in meet ing the departments demands, but 1t was understood that 1t would not agree to all those set forth in the governments prayer for dissolution. It is said that Attor- ney General Gregory was not convinced on presentation of the arguments of the had anything to gain by accepting the offer of compromise.
 The department took the attitude that since testimony in the case has been taken 1t is worth while to wait to see how the court looks upon the controversy. !.
 This is not the first time that negotia- lions have been set afoot to bring this case to an end, without resort to the long way through the federal courts About a year ago there was an effort to bring about compromise but it proved unsuc- cessful just as the present proposal.
 The case against the alleged trust was started about four years ago, when suit was filed under the Sherman act in the federal court in New York city. It was directed against the American and other companies, 30 in all, with an aggregate capital of $230 0o0,O00, and the alleged con- trol of a large part of the sugar out put of the country. The government charged in it's complaint that the com bine was able to fix prices arbitrarily, it suppressed competition, ground rivals out of existence and that it violated the law in many ways Railroad rebates and cus- toms frauds were mentioned as devices to these ends. The bill alleged that the com bination controlled about 72 per cent of the output of sugar.

ALABAMA CAMP FOR RIFLE PRACTICE TO
 BEGIN NOVEMBER 8
Order of Military Department To Be Made Public S0on-To Be in
 Montgomery

Montgomery. November 5.-(Special) Alabama's camp of instruction for the promotion of rifle practice will begin on the rife range at Montgomery or Mo- vember 8, according to an announcement today of Adjt. Gen. Joseph B. Scully. The order of the military department. de- tailing the order of practice by battalion and the executive officers in charge of the shoot will be published in the next day or two.
 The first battalion which will participate in the shoot will be composed of the three Montgomery companies. Company of the Fourth regiment, and Companies A and D of the Second regiment. and Com pany of Luverne, of the Second regi- ment. ssh
 The order in which other battalions will participate in the rifle practice will be an- ncunced later.

reached As an evidence of the heavy drafts upon the pension fund by the first three quarters of the year the warrants sent out on the first day of last July amounted to S122,75010 as compared with $2s3.997 for the third quarter. In July of the two preceding years no pension warrants were sent out for the fourth quarter, because there was no money left in the fund.
 However. with the reduction in the number of pensioners. brought about by purging the rolls. and with the nat ural increase in the fund under the operation of the one-mill tax, the pen sion board will probably be able to make full payments for every quarter during the present fiscal year.
 Still. on the basis of the same num- Dor of pensioners on July 1, 1915, as are now on the rolls, the expenditures from the fund for the year 1914-15 will amount to s1,0e6,1S2. an increase of nearly s75,000 over the last fiscal year. But it is unlikely that the rolls in July, 1915, will contain as many pensioners as at present. for the board has 23 more counties to examine, and there Is certain to be a further reduc. ton in the number of persons who re- ceive pension funds from the state.
 Each year the state auditor receives thousands of dollars in unpaid war rants. These warrants he cancels and covers back into the pension fund. The amount of warrants returned and can celed by the auditor for the past year was &2s. s.318.15. The previous year the cancelled warrants amounted to $62.- 763.70.

CLEAR MRS. MCGOWAN OF MURDER CHARGE

Pensacola, Fla. November 5.-Mrs Florence McGowan tonight was found not guilty in the circuit court here of tho charge of having murdered J. Leroy Brown of this city. The judges instruc- tions to the jury held that the defend ant was shown by the evidence to have committed murder. Spectators in the courtroom cheered the jury's verdict
 The "unwritten law" was the chief de- fense of the accused. who was the first white woman to be tried here for mur- der. She shot. and killed Brown about two months ago in the courtroom in which her trial was held. The motive given for the killing by the defense was that Brown had wronged Mrs. McGow- ans daughter. The latter is 15 years old. Brown was 21.
 The jury considered the evidence six hours before arriving at verdict. Nine jurymen are said to have voted for &C., ouittal and three for manslaughter on the first ballot Mrs. McGowan resides in Mobile.
