TO FIGHT CATTLE Staying
Dairymen Of Illinois Say Destruction
Of Herds Fails to Stop Foot Plague
Ask Quarantine Test.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Protests against
the slaughter of herds OF cattle affiict-
ed with the hoof-and-mouth disease
were made yesterday by members of
the Fox River Valley Milk Producing
association, which is composed of
farmers in the Elgin butter district.
The protest was made following
meeting at which the farmers dis
cussed methods to save their cattle.
Speakers at the meeting, which was
held at Woodstock, advocated a petit
ton for an injunction, but Vincent
Lumley, attorney for the association,
advised an appeal to the public. Ac-
cording to the statement sent out the
members of the association do not
protest against isolation or quarantine
of affected cattle, but they do object to
the killing of the herds.
Nearly 400 herds, valued at more
than 100000, have been killed In
Illinois," the statement reads. THE
killing Of the herds has not stopped
the epidemic, as there are more herds
affected today than a month ago"

SEEK PLAN TO AID

u. S. War Heads to Confer With

ARMY INCREASE IS URGED
Cooperation Between Executive and
Legislative Branches to Be Asked
Lack of Coordination
Charged by Knight.

Washington, Jan. Incorporation
between the executive and legislative
branches of the government in appeals
for the national defense is the object
of a conference arranged between Sec
retaries Garrison and Daniels of the
war and navy departments, and the
chairmen of the senate and house COM
mittees on military and naval affairs.
The conference will be held at the
home of Secretary Garrison, who sug-
gested the idea. Besides the four
chairman of the congressional commit
tees other Democratic leaders have
been invited.
1t is generally expected that an eff
fort will be made to balance the vari-
GUS appropriations in conformity with
a general policy for the promotion or
the national defense, plans for which
probably will be submitted to Presi'
dent Wilson for final approval.
To Discuss Army Increase.
The various bills for the increase in
the regular army will be one Of the
principal topics for discussion.
While this conference was being
planned the house military committee
heard Representative Gardner of Mas
sachusetts advocate his proposal for
a commission of five men to investi-
gate the military preparedness of the
country and the naval subcommittee
wound up its work on the naval appro-
priation bill, which is to be submitted
to the full committee Wednesday.
The subcommittee incorporated in
the naval bill a provision creating the
Office of chief of operations, under the
secretary of the navy, with four-year
tenure of office and to be held by a
rear admiral His functions would be
to supervise all naval preparations for
war emergencies. The subcommittee
also provided for an increase of Al
commissioned officers in the marine
corps and the promotion of ITO nom
commissioned officers.
Naval Reserve Created.
The administration provision to ere
ate a naval reserve designed to ulti-
mately produce a reserve Of $4,000 for
mer men of the navy, was adopted
with amendment.
Lack of coordination between the
navy department, the Atlantic fleet
and congress is charged by Rear Ad-
miral Austin NJ. Knight, in charge Of
the naval war college, in a report
dated at Newport, December l6, and
embodied in the revised record of
naval bill hearings made public by the
committee Admiral knight was one
of the officers whom Representative
Hobson of Alabama vainly sought to
have called to testify before the COM
mittee. His statement wa brought
out by kilograms sent by Secretary
Daniels to Admiral knight and to
Rear Admiral Fletcher, commanding
the Atlantic feet, asking whether
there is lack of coordination in the
administration of the Atlaltic fleet,
and what the naval war college says
it should accomplish"
Admiral Fletcher had reported the
same day from New York that he
knew of no lack of coordination at
the present time and believed that
the present coordination meets with
the war colleges full approval"

MYSTERY IS UNSOLvED
OFFICERS UNABLE TO CLEAR UP
DEATH OF DOCTORS WIFE.
Three Persons Are Being Held In
Connection With Tragedy at
NATION, III.

Nation, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-Steadily deep
ening mystery marked the close OF the
first days investigation of the tragedy
which brought the coroner Of Coles
county to Chicago
Strenuous efforts of police physi-
clans and analytical chemists served
only to push the explanation of the
death of Mrs. H. E. Ronalds, wife of
a physician and alderman of this city,
further into the future.
The woman's death, following ca
rouse at her residence Friday night,
set in motion a series of investiga-
tons which reached into two homes in
Nation, into the prisons of two cities
and even to the coroners laboratory
in Chicago. And all to no avail.
Whether Mrs. Ronalds died acct
dentally or Intentionally by her own
hand, whether her husband or one or
both of the servants found with her
on the night of her death were in any
way connected with it. whether she
died from poison or from blow struck
terry as it was 70 hours ago.
Only one thing seems certain: Mrs.
Ronalds did not come to her death
through carbolic acid poisoning, either
self-administered or otherwise.
From the police> came the theory
that Mrs. Ronalds had been murdered
by the secret administration of some
unknown and occult drug, to which
they have given the name of the
ruby poison

calls constantly for morphine.
He is c. f. Purcell, servant of the
ent at the Ronalds' residence on the
night the physicians wife came TO
her death. Others present at that
time were the physician and Mrs. Pur-
CELL also a servant.
Mrs. Purcell is locked up at Charles
ton, Ill, about eighteen miles from
Nation. She refuses to depart from
her testimony at the coroner's inquest
which was to the effect that she knew
nothing of the cause of her employers
death
The third person under suspicion by
the police, Doctor Ronalds, the wild
over, is held under guard at his home
by Deputy Sheriff Slower and two as
sistants.
Coroner Cook outlined the evidence
supporting the theory of murder as
follows:
Discolored eyes and wounds about
face of dead woman. Testimony of
Miss Marie Scarborough, laundress,
that Mrs. Ronalds had told her she
suspected her husband of intimacy
with Mrs. Purcell. Conflicting testi-
mony of Doctor Ronalds and of the
Purcells.
Every effort is being made by au-
thorities at Nation to bring the dead
woman's husband back to the state of
normal mentality. If that can be ac-
complished, there are several material
questions which he will be asked to
answer.

STE|NbACH TAKEN
BY ALLIED FORCES
AFTER HARD FIGHT
Battle for Town in Progress
for Week.
CERNAY IS TARGET OF ALLIES
French Continue to Bombard Altkirch
--MueIhausen Is Threatened From
Two Sides--Teutons Fight Gal
lantiy to Save Town.

London, Jan. 5.-The allies drive
against the Rhine is progressing. The
French entered Steinbach, the town In
Alsace for which they have been bat
Ting a week. The fall OF Steinbach
was officially admitted in Berlin.
The next move by the French will
be the tightening Of their lines at
Cernay (also called Seunheim). which
they are attacking violently. With
the two towns in their possession the
way will be clear to the environs of
Muelhausen-the objective of the Up
per Alsace campaign. Cernay is three
miles from Steinbach and eight miles
from Muelhausen.
Advancing From Two Sides.
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment OF that
important railway center, which also
is but eight miles from Muelhausen,
but slightly west OF south. Steinbach,
Cernay, Thanh and Aspach are
grouped Just north of west of Muel-
hansen.
Thus. Muelhausen is threatened
from two quarters-its front on the
west and its left flank on the south,
The French carried the fighting up
to the Germans last trenches and
fighting in the streets began.
First the official accounts related
the taking Of "a few houses" by the
French troops. The furious houseto-
house fighting continued and the
French gradually pressed the invaders
back. A day later the French official
statement recorded the capture Of AN
other row of houses" Today the state
ment told of the taking of the en-
virons of the church and the Gene
terry. The night official made this an.
nouncement;
AT Steinbach we carried the whole
village"
Trenches Taken and Lost
The Cernay battle is productive of
more details of the actual progress
OF the attack and Counter-attack Of
fetal reports state that in the region
of Cernay the French carried the Ger
man works on the height to the west
of the town The Germans returned
to the attack, but were repulsed. Later
during the night, with heavier bodies
Of troops, they came on again and
with such fury that the French were
compelled to retire. The French re-
formed and directed a night counter
attack, which resulted in the routing
Of the Germans.
Meanwhile the fighting on the
French right was continuing with
the town itself the field of battle.
During the night the French fought
their way into the town, taking pos
session of the church quarter. The
German reserves directed a counter
attack in force, and there was heavy
fighting in the open, in which the
bayonet was used by both sides in the
dark
The French here also were com
PEELED to retire. but as in the fight
ing on the hill, they reformed and
retook the neighborhood of the catbe-
dral digging themselves N. At
latest reports they were holding their
advantage against violent counter
attacks OF the Germans.
