CONNECTS PETITION FOR PROHIBITION

There will be presented to the next Pennsylvania legislature a unique and pathetic petition bear ing the signatures of 150O or more inmates of the state peni- tentiary, asking for the enact- ment of legislation prohibiting the traffic in intoxicating liquors. The petition reads as follows: = ITO the Senate and House of
 Representatives of the Com
 morwealth of Pennsylvania in
 General Assembly, Met:
 Your petitioners, represent ing the major portion of the in- mates of the Eastern State Peni- tentiary, of Pennsylvania. re- spectfully aver,
 That they believe fully sev- enty per cent of crime within the state is directly attributable to the excessive use of intoxicating liquors, and
 That many of them have a personal knowledge of it's debas- ing influence as exemplified in
The Nevada County picayune., 1914-07-31
their own lives, and

their own lives, and
 That, believing if the sale of intoxicating liquors was prohlb- ited by the enactment of laws by your honorable body, that the effect would be to reduce crime at least fifty per cent, if not more, they therefore.
 Respectfully pray that you will favorably consider the intro duction of any measure having for its object the curtailment of the sale of intoxicating liquors, and use the great power with which you are clothed to obtain the passage of an act to prohibit the sale of such intoxicating li- quor anywhere within the bounds of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania.
 We further pray that you give due consideration to this pe- tition, coming to you as a volun- tary deed of a body of earnest men and women, acting entirely on their initiative, lwithout sug- gestion from others. One can hardly imagine a more

weighty indictment against the liquor traffic than this petition. Probably no body of men is bet ter able to judge from personal experience of the devastation wrought to body, mind and soul, than these men who from be- hind prison walls send out this appeal. The movement was in- itiated by the editor of a little paper, The Umpire, published in the penitentiary, and the re. sponse 10 the suggestion made by the editor was prompt.
 The prisoners flooded him with letters telling him how eager they were to join in the crusade against liquor; they wrote on scraps of paper the tragedy of their own lives, and in almost every case John Barlevcorn was the enemy that had wrought ruin for them and their..families.
 The North American in telling the story of the petition well says the presentation of this pe- tition based on life stories of those who have been ruined by

drink and stating the belief that seventy per cent of crime is due to drink, will place legislature, to which it is submitted, .in a posi-. ton where it must either act against the liquor traffic or place its approval upon crime.

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES,
 MANUFACTURES, AGRICULTURE

II WHNOf NV toftIog HSttSSIto''~ There seems to be 2 eat number of.fcases of Anthrax among cattle in all parts of the State. The last report comes from Phillips County. where over twenty lead have been lost. It
 is of the greatest importance that all.s preventative methods
 should be used so that the dis ease can be controlled as much as is possible.
 The we'll animals should be moved from the barns or yards containing the sick ones. and not allowed to graze where the sick animals became infected. All stables should be thoroughly dis infected. The animals that die should be burned or buried deep and quickime spread over them. The disease has been known to break out from grazing in fields where an animal had been bur- ried asa long as three years be- fore. It is best to burn the dead animals. If they are buried a fence should be built around the body and the surface of the ground should be burned for sev- eral years.in order to kill out the spores that make their way to the surface. The disposition of the dead animals is of the great est importance. Be sure to keep the rest of the stock away from the place where the infected anil mals havesbeen grazing.
 Dr. R. M. Cow, the State Vet erlnarlan reports numbers of cases that he has handled. It is evident that there are numbers of localities in the State infected. | In Louisiana it is reported among people. Insour State it seems to be limited to cattle. However, all warm-blooded animals may | have Anthrax.
 To date the disease has been | recognized by discharges of blood 1 from the nose. One farmer writes, "Bloat up very quick after death; bIoodwater runs from nostriIs; swelling of throat; l and die in very short time. We have lost 20 head of cattle | and one horse in two weeks. ; Sometimes the animal becomes sue denly i'll, staggers and falls dies in a few minutes. There | may be a bloody discharge from the nose and mouth. The ami mai may become suddenly rest less, paw the air, run to and fro, below and rear in the air.
 Use all the preventative meth ods named above by all means if | your herd is affected. Veteri- narians have an inoculation that i short time preventative and strengthens the resistance of the animal against the disease. It is of the Rravest importance that l the dead animals be destroyed. !

'BR|NGs IN LIVE
WOLF FOR BOUNTY
COUNCIL BLUFFS WOMAN BRINGS
CUB TO OFFICE OF AUDITOR
TO CLAIM HER MONEY.

Council Bluffs, May 13.-The entire
office force of County Auditor }. D..
Hannah was stumped recently when
Mrs. j. H. Ehlers of Council Bluffs
presented a live wolf cub at the coun-
ter and requested the bounty, 81, for
wolves less than six months old.
Miss Harriet Morrow, official GUS
tOdian of wolf scalps and gopher
claws, never before had been confront
ed by this situation and said she pre-
ferred her wolf scalps in rather more
quiescent condition than the one in
question showed Neither she nor Mrs.
Ehlers wished to commit the murder
and none of the ungallant male oftici-
ais or newspaper men would consent
to become executioners and for time
it looked as if the poor little ''lobo"
would escape with his life. Finally,
however, the janitor of the building
was induced to Stay the wolf and Mrs.
Ehlers presented the scalp and settled
the complication.
The cub in question was captured
with a brother several days ago by
Robin the young son of Mrs. Ehlers,
while he, with playmate, was RAM

coyotes while the old wolves were alb
sent and by little digging uncovered
the cubs.
Each lad at once adopted one of the
animals and for several days they
made splendid playthings. But with
the appearance of set of needlelike
teeth the cubs began to give evidence
of their wolfish nature and the moth
ers decided that they would soon be-
come undesirables. The Ehlers cub
lived IN an ordinary baby's bottle
during his brief existence in captivity
and thrived exceedingly.
Robin was heartbroken over his fate,
and Mrs Ehlers said also that she re-
GREETED the nature of the pet made 1t
impossible to keep him. He had begun
to show signs Of recognizing members
of the family who attended to feeding
him.

NEED SPECIALLY
TRAINED TEACHERS

Ames, May 13.-The rapid consoli
dalton of rural schools in Iowa is
creating an urgent demand for teach
ers who are especially trained to take
charge of them. State Superintendent,
letter to President R. A. Pearson OF
Iowa State college, in which he says
that next year something like sixty
different consolidated schools must
be provided with teaching staff
"The great need in these schools
says Superintendent Deyoe, will be
for men and women who are in sym.
pathy with country life and cond;.
tons They must also be qualified to
teach agriculture, manual training
and domestic science, dealing with
these subjects from the view point of
country life and teaching them so as
to create sentiment favorable to
scientific farming.
Eve are meeting this situation at
Iowa State college in several ways
says Dean Chas. F. Curtiss of the
agricultural division 1--WE have, of
course, the regular four year col
legiate courses in agriculture and
home economics. In addition, we OF
fer two year courses Of collegiate
grade for teachers who cannot see
their way to taking more than that
time for preparation and a summer
session Of six weeks in which special
training is given"
According to Superintendent Deyoe,
the principals Of consolidated schools,
who should be qualified to teach agri-
culture and manual training, will re-
ceive $500 to $1,000 year.

DOGS VS.. TAXES.

Editor Courier: The number Of dog:
written on the tax lists do not compare
very favorably with the number tha'
are seen running about the streets
daily. According to the county treas
| urer's books, there are 1888 male dogs
outside Of the city, GAP male dogs IN
the city and 1913 female dogs in the
county
When an observer sees the numpeI
of dogs on the street, he certainly must
believe that all the dogs in the county
have come to the city to live. Every
alley and back yard has it's quota 81
dogs and more than one pack can be
seen roaming about the city.
No one owns these dogs since the as
SCISSORS can find no one that will claim
them.
The dog tax is the "hoodoo' OF the
county treasurer. When taxpayer
comes in and finds himself assessed
with a dog and his name signed on the
assessors roll, he still claims that his
dog died the next day. To the assessor
it seems as if every dog is resurrecteo
the second day. =
When the assessor sees dog IN
the hack ward he naturally thinks that
it belongs to the person living IN tnat
house. But the said party says that
the dog is his neighbor's dog and they
never did have a dog. But the neigh
Dor has no dog so the assessor IS up
against it.
It is also interesting to note that
there are $3.50 men in the city and
1859 outside the city that are sup
,,o,ad IN nav head tax.
Looking over the books year after
wear if is found that very few men pay
their head tax. Also very few dog taxes
are paid If every one paid their head
fax their dog tax and their personal
property tax there would be less
''howling" about the high taxes.

WANTS TRUTH IN
NEW HAVEN CASE
Continued from Page ~

| BILE to do So no matter who the wit
ness is.
"The great question before the
American people today is to secure
honesty in the management of the
railroad systems of the country. The
revelations already brought to light in
this investigation and the further dis
closures that Mr.. Mellen and other
witnesses can make, should be Of i'm
mense value and result in legislation
that will cause it to be just as grave
a crime to plumber the public through
a corporation as it is now personally
to rob an individual.
Chief Counsel Folk and Attorney
General McReynolds had conference
today Mr. Folk pointed out that the
commission in the pending proceeding
was operating under resolution Of
the senate directing : to develop all
possible facts concerning the financial
operations of the New Haven and
that manifestly this direction could
not be carried out unless witnesses
were examined who we're cognizant of
the facts.
A final determination Of the matter
probably will be reached later in the
day.
Events are moving rapidly said
Mr.. Folk, 1--WE cannot say at this mo-
ment just what may happen few
hours or day hence
When Examiner Carl Gartner
opened the proceedings today, he an
nounced that all witnesses except Mr..
Mellen, would be excused until next
Monday Those eycllSed included the
directors of the New Haven, Lewis
Cass Ledyard, William Rockefeller,
George F. Baker and George MacCul-
loch Miller, and Samuel G. Morehouse,
attorney for the Billiard Co.
Mr.. Morehouse is i'll at his home in
New Haven. Mr.. Ledyard who was
present today was given permission to
appear next Tuesday, instead Of Mon
day. Word was received from Mr.
Baker that he was prepared to appear
whenever he was wanted.
An adjournment of the hearing was
taken until tomorrow.
