NEAR MURDER RESULTS FROM
 PETTY QUARREL
Farmhands Fight Over Stol- en Money Shooting Vic
 tim in Critical State.

The theft of $S from a farmland by a fellow enploye caused what may prove to be murder at noon today when Louis Karle, a farm workman was shot three times by a man whose name is not known. Karle is in a critical condition at St. Vincent's hos nital and the police are searching for his assailant.
 The man for whom the police are looking climbed in the window of KarIe's bedroom 10 days ago and stole money from him. The men were ar guing over it. today in the barn at the rear of the farm of Jacob Lieze on Sylvan avenue. Karle's companion pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot him three times. One bullet shattered his nose, one grazed his heart and another lodged in an arm.
 karle was taken to St. Vincent's s hospital in an ambulance. A squad of policemen is looking for Karie' s assailant this afternoon, who is not known except by the name of %Bill."

SWINE SPREAD FOOT
 AND MOUTH DISEASE.
New Outbreak Emphasizes Need of Careful Inspec- tion By Farmers And Stockraisers.

washingtoA Aug. 1.-The suscep- tibiIity of swine to the foot-and- mouth disease and the failure on the part of swine owners to recognize its symp- toms are giving the Federal authori- ties no small amount of worry in their 'tclean-up'' campaign
 Sore mouth, common indication of the disease. is an ordinary sequence of hog cholera, and contusions on the feet are frequent in swine which have been driven or shipped. For these reasons little attention is paid by the owners of swine to these symptoms and, unless the herd is located within suspicious territory foot-and-mouth disease may continue in chronic form for a considerable length of time before discovery. The danger of course lies in the ability of these animals to disseminate the disease
 Since the first case of foot-and- mouth disease found in a herd of hogs, in Michigan, which later permitted the infection of the Chicago Stock Yards hogs more than any other ami nal have been responsible for the spread of the disease. A few months ago, in the outskirts of Philadelphia, in a. district containing close to 20,- 900 swine kept in small lots, several thousand were found to be infected.
 On July 29 foot-and-mouth disease infection was discovered to exist in a herd of 20 cattle within the city limits of Hornell, Steuben County, New York Another herd of 25 cat tie, pastured across the road from these, has been exposed and is under surveillance. As no known cases of the disease had previously been found within radius of over 75 miles, the source of the infection remained a. mystery until two days later, when 125 swine, divided among five herds were found within a half mile of the first discovered premises. These swineh ad evidently had the disease in a mild form for a, considerable length of time. Infection had been carried from these to the cattle through drainage.

PICK FITZGERALD
 AS SUCCESSOR TO
 ELECTRICIAN LADD

At the regular meeting of the board of police commissioners to be held to- evening it is believed that the board will fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Electrician Sheridan A. Ladd The most likely choice for the position is George Fitzgerald, drawtender at Congress street bridge, residing in the 11th district, Although the appointment falls to the lot of a Republican commissioner, it is thought that Fitzgerald, a Democrat, will get the appointment.
 In some circles it is stated that noth- ing will be done tomorrow regarding the vacancy and that the present 5n- cumbent, William Williams, will be unmolested, Williams has been sub stituting in place of Ladd for the past two months but as he is not a voter in this city he cannot receive the ap- pointment as a policeman according to the city charter.

BUILDING TRADES
 COUNCIL VOICES STRONG PROTEST
Mayors Invasion of Work CTS Right Condemned in
 Resolution.


 Mayor Clifford Wilson's invasion or the right of free speech and his for cibIe arrest of Cederholn. Bowen and Nelson is not to go unpunished, if the labor unions of Bridgeport are able to find redress.
 The unions propose to oppose law falf and constitutional methods to the lawIess and uneonstituttoonal naethods adopted by the mayor.
 The last important labor body to take up the matter is the Building Trades Council. which. at its meeting. last night passed resolutions stating: The Building Trades Council con denns in the most vigorous manner the actions of Mayor Wilson in un- lawfully and unconsttutionally caus- ing the arrest of Frederick CedeT- holm, George Bowen andsLoufss Nel- son while addressing a peaceful and lawful ff3n6effng of the employees of the LocomoPile Company, Thursday, August 4. at noon.'%
 The council further voted to give aid and support to the necessary ex- pense of legal proceedings for the Impeachment of any public officers guilty of an assault upon the consti- tution, by attempting to abrogate the right Of free speech.
 The Building Trades Council rep resents all of the building trades of the city It is a conservative body, but it's members have been moved to unusual indignation by the action of the authorities in causing the Illegal arrest of Cederholn. Bowen and Nell son.

LASSEh VOLCANO
 IS BELIEVED SAFE
California Peak Has Spent Most of Its Energy, In
 vestigators Say

Washington Aug. 11.-Lassen vol can, California, spent most of it's en- ergy in its violent eruptions of last May, according to reports received by the Forest Service, and it is be- lieved that there is little likelihood of further destructive outbreaks. Since the upheava1s of May 20 and 22, the volcano has been under the observa- ton of officers of the Lassen National Forest, in which park the peak stands, and for the last month a volcanolo- gist of the U. s. Geological Survey has been making a scientific study of the mountain.
 The investigations have confirmed the opinion that the eruption <of two months ago, when a river of mud was blown out of the north side of the crater. and down Hat Creek with con siderable damage to Government and private property, was caused, by the melting of the snow on the peak, the snow water running into the crater and being converted. by the molten lava. into steam. Although it is pos- sible that the volcano is simply con- serving it's energy for another out break, the indications are; acording to the Government vo1cano1ogist on the ground, that. no further eruptions are likely to occur, at least until next spring when another influx of snow water may cause slight, disturbance.
 In0 I1rSL authentic report or the damage done by the eruptions of la May shows that early reports were greatly exaggerated. Forest Rangers who have made a careful survey of the neighborhood of the volcano and have made several ascents to the rim of the crater, report that the total ex- tent of Government land rendered useless by mud and lava is somewhat less than 4,00O acres, and that of the privately owned land rendered use less less than 1000 acres, comprising all told the grazing range of about 220 cattle. In addition, by reason of temporary injury to other areas. range has had to be provided for about 800 cattle which were grazed near the mountain. Inasmuch as some 42, 900 cattle and 30,0o0 sheep are grazed on the Lassen Forest every year, this cur tailment of the range according to the Forest services is almost negli- gibIe.
 TheF Forest officers on the ground estimate that the timber destroyed Hby the eruption amounted to about 10, million board feer. Photographs taken by one of the rangers who were detailed to make observations show trees several feet in diameter and I 50 feet tall lying on the mountainside where they were sanpped off like .toothpicks. A boulder as big as a freight car is among the debris that vase arried for several miles down the mountain by the mud flow.

FIRE BURNS ROOF OF DWELLING ON
 HOWARD AVENUE

Fire that started in an attic room burned through the roof and did about S15O damage to the house of Bernar- do Sega1a at 683 Howard avenue about 2:20 today. Whether the fire was caused Joy children playing with matches in the attic room or whether it was caused by spontaneous combus- ton had not been determined by Chief J ohnson at press hour today.
 Gould Turney, the newsletter at State street and, Howard avenue who lives directly in back of the Segala home, his house facing on Bassick avenue, noticed unusually black smoke curling from the shingled roof! Think ing that there might be a chimney fire he climbed over the back fence to investigate when there came a burst of flame up through the shin gles. Stopping only long enough to warn Mrs. Segala who was taking a nap at the time, MT. Turney ran to State street and Howard avenue where he. turned in an alarm from Box No. s221.
 The prompt arrival of Steamer Go. No. 3 stationed at Norman street and of Chemical 3 from N1apIewood ave- nue prevented the fire spreading and destroying the house. Considerable damage was done to furniture in the upper stories of the house by smoke, water and chemicals.

This again emphasizes the need, tho authorities state, for continued care- fuI examination Of all live stock In previously infected areas. especially large herds of swine Farmers and stock raisers by giving immedfate no tice of any suspicious cases to the nearest health officer will greatly aid the authorities in their efforts to eli minate this pest, which if allowed to gain a foothold would result in un- told damage to the nation.
 Owing to the fact that few animals ase shipped from the section in which theI atest outbreak occurred. it is be- Iieved that no serious or widespread complications will result from this new center of infection.

lage and reached the bank.
There was a great excitement as
he told its officers his story. The
president of the institution eagerly
inspected the contents of the box.
Then he shook the hand of the pro-
fessor as if it was pump handle.
"How can we thank you" he cried
fervently.
81 am glad to have been of service
to you," said the professor modestly,
starting to leave the room.
Hold on, you're forgetting some
thing" challenged the bank presi-
dent
"Ah, indeed - what, now, may l
ask?" submitted the simpleminded
professor.
1.-THE reward-we offered $1,000.
1t is yours" and the relieved and de-
lighted official ran to the vault of the
institution and returned with hand
full of new crisp bills.
Yours" he announced, and thrust
the money into the hands of the be-
wildered professor.
The latter stood staring at the I'M
expected wealth. Practical ideas
moved slowly through that profound
brain of his. Finally, however, his
serious face expanded with a smile.
"I'm not to be trusted" he OBJ
served. Just keep the money in trust
for me, will you? Why, 1 declare!
1t solves my life problem, doesn't it.

And, newly radiant, the grand
hearted fellow wended his way to-
ward the home of Natalie Bertram
to tell her of his great fortune-and
his great love.
