WOMAN SEIZED BY
DREADED ANTHRAX
EXPIRES IN AGONY
Malady First Diagnosed as
Foot and. Mouth Ailment
Proves to Be Much-feared
Disease.

Anthrax, a disease much dreaded and
one usually fatal. has again made its ap.
pearance in Philadelphia, and already has
caused the death of a woman, An cpl.
demie, according to physicians. need not
be feared. The case was first diagnosed
as foot and mouth disease
The victim of the malady is Miss Isabel
Agnes McFadden 80 years old, 1924 North
10th street. She was taken III last Wednes-
day and died in agony last night. An
nouncement of her death was not made
| until today.
According to DR.. Joseph Hoffman, 1876
| West Diamond street, Miss McFadden
was the first anthrax victim he has treat
ed in so years, lie is unable TO learn how
she contracted the disease.
The young woman developed first symp-
toms on Wednesday when small pimple
appeared on her nose. Nothing serious
was suspected until a day later when a
second spot developed on her mouth and
several others made their appearance on
the side of her face, one In her eye. Later
she suffered great pain and grew steadily
worse until death came
Doctor Hoffman says Miss McFadden
was in no wise associated with any oc-
cupation through which she was liable
to contract anthrax, The disease has it's
genesis In a small bacillus usually found
in the wool Of sheep and the hide of
horses and cattle. Miss McFadden was
not employed In any factory and spent
most of her time at home.
He says there is no danger from an
epidemic, as the disease is infectious and
not contagious.
"The Bureau of Health" said Doctor
Hoffman. will make cultures In this case,
but aside from that I do not believe
anything will be done, because 1t is prac-
tically Impossible TO trace the aiIment
which caused Miss McFadden's death"
Miss McFadden is survived by her
father and mothers, younger sister,
Mary. and a brother Samuel.
1T Is impossible TO saw how the woman
contracted the disease said Or. A. A.
Cairns. chief medical inspector of the
learned she had not exposed herself to
the only sources of infection known-the
hides or wool of animals who have died
of the disease
Anthrax was described by Doctor Cairns
as a malignant pustue, much like car
buncle. 1t Is a rare disease. he said,
Since 1905 Philadelphia has averaged only
from TO 10 cases year
THE danger Of an epidemic Is remote"
continued Doctor Cairns, because the |
disease Is not transmissible from person
TO person. The only possible way In |
Whlch a person may necomo Injected is !
by handling the hides OF eattles or the |
wool of sheep which have died OF the /
disease
Anthrax makes its way TO this coun- 1
try in the hides of cattle shipped from j
Europe Every case has been traced to /
this source. The hides OF European /
cattle who die OF the ailment are pro
hihited from sale In Europe ana they
arc shipped TO America. bringing with
them germs Of the disease"

The trend Of American municipalities
toward public ownership and operation
of the utilities plants Is remarkably
demonstrated In the conference of
Mayors. city omcials students OF mu-
nicipal economies and corporation ohieeFs
now in session In Philadelphia.
The dominant note in the declarations
OF virtually every city Ohieial speaking
before the convention Is emphatic de-
mand for public ownership ana operation
OF the utilities. Continuance OF private
ownership under State regulation Is the
policy almost universally advocated BY
the representatives Of the corporations.
Although. one less radical group OF Of
feials from Pennsylvania cities are ad-

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY PROCLAIMED
Gov. Clarke ProeIalms That Time az
the Day to Observe
Through State.

Fire prevention day ha1 been pro-
claimed for October by Governor
George w. Clarke. In his proclama-
ton the governor calls the attention
OF Iowa people to the great suffering
caused by fires and to consider what
can be done to prevent them. In the
proclamation Governor Clarke says:
The annual loss sustained by the
people on account of fires is enor-
nous. Those losses are in fact an
absolute waste because so many OF
them are preventable. Wisdom does
not lie in specializing after the loss
has been sustained upon how it could
have been avoided, but in using all
possible means of prevention before
the disaster occurs. The fire loss in
the state can without question be
very greatly reduced If the people will
use the care and diligence which the
Importance of the subject demands.
Often great losses are sustained by
many because of negligence and some.
times even recklessness of others.
I'm order that the attention Of the
PSoPie Ahas, II pUSSiple, DC CouCeHIIdl-
ed upon the great necessity for pre-.
venting the great losses of property
and life by fires, l do hereby pro-
claim that Friday, October 9, 1914, be
known as fire prevention day, and l
earnestly recomemnd that it be OBJ
served by public meetings for the dis
cussion of hazards of life and prop.
L q
dividual responsibility for fires and
for considering the questions of water
supply and fire department and for
general appeal to the people to exam
inc the condst:ons of their premises
and to use the greatest care possible
to prevent fires"

his majesty the German emperor, to
arrange with his majesty the cartel
OF exchange of educators between
universities in the two countries.
When I revealed this fact to my host
the conversation Immediately took
turn which made me distinctly feel
that grave crisis was impending in
the relations of Great Britain to Ger
many. I was so firmly impressed by
1t that l felt compelled to call my
hosts attention to the fact that the
great number of American citizens of
German extraction, the .friendliness of
the German states to the cause of the
union during the civil war, and the
virtual control of American univers-
tiles by men educated at German uni
versities, would all make for close
and continuing friendship between
Germany. and the United States.

cupied the chief attention But in

the Turks, the Pan-Slavic policy Of
Russia, the policy of uniting the
Slavs in the German empire, the
Austro- Hungarian empire and in the
i Turkish empire with, and under the
sway of, Russia was moved into the
foreground. All western Europe
recognized the peril to modern civ
ilization, and the powers of Europe
assembled at Berlin in 1873 to meet
and master it. The astute British
premier, Lord Beaconsfield, supported
by the blunt and masterful Bismarck,
directed the work of the congress
and the Pan-Slavic policy of Russia
was given a severe setback. Russia
was allowed to take little almost
worthless territory in Europe, and
territory of greater value in Asia;
Roumania, Servia and Montenegro
were made independent states: Bull
