How Dogs Worry and Injure Sheep.

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, o., is writing for
his publication series OF articles show
ing the immense damage done to the
sheep business of the United States by
worthless dogs. He says that this dam
age amounts to tens of millions of dol
lars year In the current issue of his
paper he writes in part as follows:
at seems probable that very few leg
| slators and comparatively few owners
of worthless dogs are aware of the pc
culiar way in which the worrying of
dogs affects flock of sheep. Ii the
| damage were confined merely to the kill
| ing and eating of a sheep or two, the
| dog evil would be bad enough, it is true,
but very small compared to its actual
magnitude.
''Mr, John Pickering Ross writes us
of an experience of his own in which
three or four dogs killed the English
sheep dog who was defending the flock,
and then ravaged the flock Of sheep it
self -Four of the ewes says Mr.. Ross,
were devoured and four more had to be
put out of their misery, and several
others had been badly mauled In the
and we raised but 80 instead of the l25 I
had reasonably expected A member of
the sheep breeding firm of w. NJ. Bing-
hams Sons, of Adams county, Pennsyl-
vania, writes: TT is not often that dogs
kill many sheep in a flock. BY far the
greatest loss is in fright to the flock
The frightened sheep never do any good
afterward; they live in constant fear of
another attack by dogs, and their useful
ness is over
"Under date of October Is, 1918, Mr..
C. NJ. Brettell of Bennington county,
Vermont, writes us that one flock was
entirely destroyed in his neighborhood
that fall, and that the surviving sheep
in another flock were at that time doing |
no good on account of being so badly |
frightened, even though they were not
touched by the dogs. They seem so |
nervous he writes, that they will not |
go out to feed for fear of dogs getting |
among them again. Speaking of his |
losses by dogs, Mr.. George Schaap Of /
Marion county, Oregon. says: AS to 1
the damage they did in addition to kill 1
ing three ewes. about half of my ewes
lost their lambs owing to overexertion
and fright. My sheep are all registered /
Shropshires.' Professor f. J. Iddings |
of the University of Idaho agrees with
these sheep owners. "A very slight in
jury to sheep by a dog, saws he, and
a little worry. will as a rule be fatal.'"

eign Trade" in paper read at the ma
tional foreign trade convention here,yes.
| terday intimrated that the United States
might be in danger of running into such
widespread industrial distress as Eng
land now found itself "from attempting
to hold markets against competitors
while maintaining a wage scale that does
not permit her to meet their prices and
does not offer to capital an inducement
! into new fields of development"
! He compared the per capita value of
| foreign trade OF the United States, which
is SAL. to that of Germany, which is S67,
and that Of the United Kingdom, which
is Sl25. He said il was a short sighted
optimism that has concentrated atten-
ton for many years on the increase of
our exportssand manufactured products.
Germany was constantly capturing Eng
lish markets because of the inability OF
the English manufacturer to change his
working conditions in conformity TO gen
eraI changes that have taken place. The
United States was following England's
example.
"The power OF the English trades un-
ions became practically arbitrary in fix
ing wages, hours and general working
conditions. Germany found that, with
n more advantageous wage scale, she
could go into the worlds markets and
compete at prices which England could
not meet. Hence the enormous growth
of German exports Hence competition
which the United States itself cannot
meet in many lines, and which it could
not meet at all did not immense and ex-
cessible natural resources, and, in GER
tain lines of manufacture, the use of
highly skilled labor and highly compl-
Gated machines which cheaper labor is
not competent to handle, give us a tenn
porary advantage.
"But that advantage, like every other
exceptional local condition in the world
trade tends to be equalized and disap-
pears
He pictured the industrial distress in
England and said it would seem that
national conduct might save the day,
but the burden placed by unwise re-
stricted legislation and unnecessary tax
alton upon business in the United States
are producing their natural effects here
also. Just such mistakes as Great Brit
ain has made and is making may con-
front the American workingman with
lost job, and empty cupboard and no
younger and more promising land to
which he may emigrate. Losing grad
ually the advantages that our position
and resources have given us up to re-
cent date nothing but deeper wisdom
and keener sense of justice toward all
factors that must unite to create ma
tional prosperity can keep us at the
front in the race with other nations or
even insure us against disappointment,
disorder and economic distress at home"

BLAMES MASSACHUSETTS.
Washington Is Puzzled by the Railroad
Situation.

Washington, May 2S.--The admins
tration will await with interest receipt
of the promised letter of Governor
Walsh of Massachusetts with reference
to the New Haven situations. The
White House evidently understands that
the governor will be unable to accept
President Wilson's invitation to come to
Washington this week, and the governor
although talking over the telephone with
Secretary Tumulty has made no special
engagement with the president for next
week.
Administration officials are completely
in the dark as to the real situation in
Massachusetts, and in some quarters fear
is entertained that the group Of finan-
ciers who want the New Haven proper
ties to go into the hands of receiver
are responsible for the governors delay.
The New Haven situation, in fact,
would appear to be shaping up between
two factions, one representing the de-
partment of justice, the officials of the
road, the stockholders and many patrons /;
the other a group of men whose names

DENMARK ASKS CHANGES.
Secretary Bryan Urges Approval by
Senate Committee.

Secretary Bryan asked the Senate for
eign relations comittee yesterday to APP
prove certain exceptions Denmark de-
sires to make in the new treaty for the
arbitration of all disputes, including
those involving national honor. The
treaty has been signed, but has not been
ratified by the United States Senate.
Denmark has excepted such questions as
copyright and international labor dis
putes. The treaty is the first of its kind
negotiated by this government, and Sec
Rotary Bryan would like to see it go
through. Some opposition developed to
the request Several senators declared
themselves opposed to the principal of
exceptions. No definite action was tax
en-, however, and the committee will wait
until it gets the treaty. Mr.. Bryan did
not discuss the Columbian treaty to pay
S25,00O,000 in connection with the par
tition of Panama.

DENY RUMORS THAT
BECKER ADMITTED
THAT HE is GUILTY
II Is Reported That Dist. Atty. Whit
man Will Prosecute Some Wit
nesses for the Defense.

New York, May 2S.-Rumors that
Charles +. Becker, the police lieutenant
convicted of the murder of Herman Ro-
senthal, will confess secrets of the "men
higher up" in the police department who
have been waxing fat by allowing viola.
tions of the law, were described Tues
day by Becker's counsel as pure bosh.
Becker, his counsel said, would confess
to nothing and there would be no activ-
tiles in his behalf other than the prep
aration and furtherance of his appeal.
There will, however, be further activ-
ity in the case by the district attorney,
looking toward the probable punishment
of persons who testified at the trial and
who are suspected of perjury or suborna-
tion of perjury. District Attorney Whit
man, it was learned. will confer with
Police Commissioner Woods next Friday
relative to the testimony in Becker's be-
half by members of the STRONG arm
squad" which Becker commanded.
1t is expected that there may be some
interesting developments. 1t is also ex-
pected that Mr.. Whitman will within u
few days again take up the matter of
the confessions of perjury made by Carl
Dresner and William Burwell in the at
tempt that was made to save the lives
of the four "gunmen." That Jack" Sui
livan. friend of Becker's and a witness
for him, is in no danger Of being prose-
cuted for any reason, also became
known.
Becker talked with Mrs. Becker and
Hartford Marshall of his counsel Mrs.
Becker refused to say word to report
ers, but appeared cheerful Becker is

worried him.

each fined $500. The six lesser civilian
defendants were fined $3.50 each.
The other military defendants were
bound over to come up for judgment if
called upon.
The attorney general in closing the
case for the prosecution, remarked that
it was only fair to Sir Thomas Upton to
say that, so far as the prosecution knew,
there was no document and no evidence
which suggested in the slightest degree
that anyone besides those who had been
brought before the court should be pros
ecuted.

Bryan Asks Changes in
the Treaty with
Denmark

Washington, May 2s.-Representative
Carlin made statement at the White
House yesterday about the compromise
agreed upon by the labor leaders and adj
ministration leaders ON the trust bills,
1.-The labor provision of the antitrust
bill as agreed upon gives labor the right
to exist as an organization and, in the
language of the Baltimore platform de-
clares that they shall not be held to be a
combination or conspiracy in restraint
of trade. said he. This will prevent a
bill being filed on behalf of the govern
ment for a dissolution of labor organiza-
tions. 1t does not exempt labor from
specific acts which would constitute a
restraint of trade or a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade 1t is clear-cut, clean,

contained in the Baltimore platform"

Of the other person to be appointed by

currence of at least one citizen of the

Dakota, yesterday joined the Senators

HE WAS DETERMINED.
Mr.. Roosevelt Bound to Settle Strike of
1908

New York, May 2S.--Theodore Roose-
welt as president was ready to take
measures equivalent to action in time
anthracite mines in 1908. He was de-
termined to take action even though an
effort should be made later to impeach
him for it.
Mr.. Roosevelt so stated yesterday in
giving testimony before referee in the
suit of Alexander T. Wales, lawyer of
Binghamton N. Y, against John p.
White. president of the United Mine
Workers of America, for fees he alleges
are due for the part he took in settling
the strike.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he planned to have
General Schofeld 90 in and take charge
with the troops and act practically as
receiver for the mines. He told him that
he must pay no heed to any other au-
thority--no heed to a writ from Judge
or anything else except Mr.. Roosevelt's
commands.
Colonel Roosevelt said he kept his
plan secret even from the members of
his cabinet.
Mr.. Wales tried to make Colonel
Roosevelt admit he was willing to vio-
late the laws, defy the courts and dis
regard the constitution to settle the
strike.
81 wouldn't accept your Interpretation
of the constitution" Colonel Roosevelt
retorted. 81 proposed that every action
/ should take should be in accordance
with the constitution as Abraham Lin
coin construed it,"
"WouId you have settled the strike,
law or no law" persisted the plaintiff
I'D have settled it," Colonel Roosevelt
said. I'D have found a law"

Colonel Whitaker of the Second York
shire regiment, the highest in rank of
the prisoners, was sentenced to SIX
months imprisonment.
A pathetic scene occurred when Whit
aker pleaded for mercy. The gray old
veteran, who has served in the British
army for thirty eight years, broke down
and said he had acted on the persuasion
of Colonel Fiennes, now Lord Saye and
Sele. who was then lieutenant colonel of
the Royal Scots Fusiliers.
Justice Darling referring to Fiennes'
letter, which Whitaker declared had led
him astray, said:
"The letter shows sad decadence from
the traditions of great family. /, my
self, if belonged to such a family would
starve rather than get my living by
eadging for orders for beer" Fiennes'
letter had invited Lieutenant Colonel
