MICHIGAN NOW FREE
 OF INFECTED CATTLE
Government Officials Believe They
 Have Disease Under Control.

Washington, Nov. 23-The lifting of the quarantine against Canada because of the foot and mouth dis ease is regarded by officials of the department of agriculture as encour- aging evidence that they are Ion the outside of the disease.''
 This means says a statement to- day by the department, that there are grounds for the belief that quar- antines already declared have been sufficient to stop the movement of infected cattle and that the disease can now be held within the limits of the areas already quarantined.
 States Seriously Affected.
 At the present time the states most seriously affected are Ohio, H. linois, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
 Outside this belt the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Mass achusetts are perhaps the subject of the greatest concern. Although the actual number of cattle already infected Is comparatively small, it will probably be some time before any of the quarantines can be lifted in this region.''
 Situation We'll in Hand.
 It is stated that the situation in New York, Delaware and New Jersey seem to be we'll in hand. The hope is expressed that a portion at least of the latter two states may be re- leased from quarantine shortly.
 ''The greatest encouragement of all however is probably found in Mich igan," the statement continues. "The outbreak originated in Michigan and it first spread fast. Now, however, it is believed that all infected stock have been buried and the state, it is hoped, is really clean. To make certain of this, however, a farm to farm inspection is now being made in all regions previously infected. Six Months Necessary. Although the spread of the dis ease into areas previously uninfected seems to have been in a great mea- sure checked, it is estimated that it will take at least six months to stamp ! out all traces of the infection. In this work, it will be of great as- sistance if snow comes quickly Quar- antines of whole or parts of states will he lifted as rapidly as safety permits.

 Mrs. Primrose was on Main street when the alarm sounded and had an intuition that there was trouble at her home. TranticaIly she question ed the trolley inspector as to the first car but, upon reaching home, found her boy was at the hospital She reached there in time to be with him at the end Dr. s.

 Bremen found the couch and "a rug burning, the couch being thrown out of doors and the flames extinguish- ed with chemicals. Their inquiry in- dicated that Kenneth was sitting or lying on, the couch when a match used in an attempt to light a candle of the tree, dropped on his clothing. Before being discovered the flames had gained too much headway to be ex- tinguished by them The burning clothes ignited the couch and pieces dropping to the floor set fire to the rug.
 The victim was grandson of AL derman William E. Primrose, who was out of the city t-day on business for his concern.

 MT. Maloney was born in New Bri- tain, May IS, 1853, the son of Patrick and Margaret doughrey) Maloney. He attended the New Britain public , schools and at the age Of nine years he entered the plant of Oviatt & Guernsey to learn the printing trade. He next was employed by Oviatt & Baker, who published the New Britain Record, and still later by the New Britain Observer.
 He learned the intricacies of his trade rapidly and one of his most pleasant reco1lections was when Mayor Stanley. of New Britain, presented him with a dollar because he set, by hand out single error. In few years he was rated as one of. the fastest hand compositors in the state.
 Of 9 frugal disposition, he saved his money and established the New Bri- tain Times in 1880, with a Bristol edi- ton, later. He continued these pa- pers until -he came to Waterbury in
 July, 1881, to start The Valley Demo crat, weekly. Associated with him was his brother, Michael T. MaIoney and although the junior partner died seventeen years ago, the firm name
 has remained c. & M. T. Maloney. A short existence was predicted for
 The Valley Democrat as similar ven lures had failed frequently, but the
 new publication remained in the field due largely to the untiring labor of the head of the firm. After a few years, the proprietors of the weekly determined to issue a daily evening paper and the first issue of The Even ing Democrat was on Dec. 5, 1887 It was the champion of the Democratic
 party in local, state and national af- fairs and met with favor. It grew gradually until it was firmly estab- lished.

Prominent Democratic NeWspaperman Dead Cornelius Mahoney, Pub
 fisher and Editor of Wa terbury Democrat, Is Vic tim of Automobile Acci- dent.
 Had Interesting Career From the Cease to Own ership of a Prosperous Daily.
 

Cornelius Maloney of Waterbury, proprietor and publisher of the Wa eterburyI Democrat, one of the best known Democratic newspaper pub fishers in the East, died last evening at his home in that city from pull monary eKnbolism superinduced by in uries he jsustained when struck by an automobile several days ago. The machine was driven py William Shan ley of Thonaston.
 MT. Ma1oney's attitude toward the autoist whose machine hit him after he had alighted from trolley car was not hostile. He placed no blame on the driver when he discussed the jaccident with his son, B. Vincent Mafoney, only a few hours before his death. Immediately after he had been struck, he remarked that while the machine might have been going too fast. he was not sure about 1t, but he added that he did be- Iieve that automobiles should not be allowed tos pass a trolley car when .t had come to a stop.
 Cornelius Ma1oney was one of the rapidly decreasing type of newspaper proprietors familiar with the mechan- ical details of all departments. He started with not even good educa- tion but had a love of industry and an ambition to make the best use of his opportunities. He could set type, as we'll as write editorials; he could make up'' a page as well as do the active managing of his newspaper. and he was never reluctant tor make use of his general experience and un- usual ability.
 While he had not been active in re- cent years in a public way, other than moulding the policy of his newspaper, his popularity was given a test twen- ty-six years ago, when he was elected a representative to the general assem- bly while his running mate on the Democratic ticket was defeated. He was a staunch Knight of Columbus, a charter member of Sheridan council, No. 24, and it's first grand knight, which office he held for three terms.

It is believed that the in juries resulted when an older broth- CT tried to light the candles on a Christmas tree in the front room dur ing the absence of Mrs. Primrose. His condition was considered hopeless from the start, the only treatment being to give opiates to deaden the pain. The damage to the house is not esti- mated to exceed s1oo, being confined to a scorched rug and couch and smoke. One chemical was used.
 Just how the accident happened has not been definitely ascertatned,. the first known of it being when the old CT brother, about seven years old. was heard screaming; fire and smoke was seen about the window. A passing co1ored man, name not secured by the authorities, rushed in, wrapped his coat about Kenneth and carried him into a neighboring aparement Only the charred remains of the c1i1d's 8 clothing remained and his flesh was turned to a deep brown.
