The annual dues are to be as fol-
lows: For members 81, for contribut-
ing members SIS, for sustaining mem
bers SO. for patrons $25. There is
assurance that some of the large local
industries will become patrons; and so
far a dozen men have indicated their
willingness to pay $40, believing that
the association will be of even greater
benefit to the city If it has more funds
with which to work. The majority of
the members will probably pay S. but
many who will derive less direct ben
eft will pay the minimum. A large
membership is desired. and all mem
bers have the same privilege, whatever
dues they pay.
The program adopted was that
which was published tentatively by
the directors in advance, as debate
only served to convince those present
that their leaders had planned well.
This program has also been distributed
in the form of a letter, and additional
copies may be had from the officers.
The questions to be taken up include
public health. revaluation, town and
city consolidation and commission gov
ernment, trade school, retail trade con-
ditfons, lectures on public questions,
and cooperation with the farmer.
1t was announced that the rooms

U. S. NOW CENTEROF WORLD FINANCE
Foreign Exchange Rates Must Suffer Unless London
is Replenish Credits Here-Demand Sterling and De-
nand Bills on Paris Show Low Record

Exchange on other European coun-
tries approached recent low quotations
today. Italian renittances, on very
light exchanges, showing discount of
about 10 per cent, while the rate on
Petrograd was quoted at discount of
"a cents. No actual transactions be-
tween this market and the Russian
capital were reported.
Amsterdam was the only foreign
market to manifest any degree of
steadiness, a fact ascribed to the pur-
chase of bills on Holland by local
bankers who are assumed to have
iquidated more American securities
for German holders.
There is an increasing realization
that rates Of exchange between New
York and all leading European points
must inevitably suffer further depre-
citation unless London and Paris soon
replenish their credits here. So far as
is known, no steps in this direction
have yet been taken.

New York. June 15.-The prominence
and importance of this country as the
temporary center of world finance was
again demonstra ted today when Eng
lish and French rates of exchange
manifested greater weakness than at
any time since New York entered Sc.
riously into the field of international
banking.
Demand sterling declined to AIS 3S
and demand bills on Paris were sold at
545 ga. This puts the buying power
of the English pound and French franc
in this country at the lowest levels re-
corded in over fifty years and offers
additional proof of the enormous guam
tity of credits held by American bank
ers and manufacturers, mainly as a
result of the large war orders now I'M
der contracts.
On the basis quoted today, an Eng
lish pound sows a depreciation of
per cent, and francs are at a discount
of almost 4 per cent.

Question of High License Fee.
There is some speculation in the
city as to whether all of the licensed
places will continue to do business
here during the next license year,
when the license fee will be $3.50, an
increase from the present rate of $3.50.
Undoubtedly nearly all, if not all. of
the dealers will seek renewal of their
licenses, but it is claimed in some
quarters that the $3.50 fee is going to
leave only a very narrow margin of
profit for some.

SLAUGHTER is ENDED
FEDERAL AGENT BOWS TO RuL-
ING ON CATTLE. ..
U. S. official to Obey Injunction In
Kane County, Iil.-Stoek Raisers
Hold Meeting at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Orders we're re-
ceived by DIR. s. E. Bennett, in charge
of the bureau of animal industry Of
the department OF agriculture, to stop
killing cattle afflicted with foot-and-
mouth disease and obey the injunction
granted in Kane county against the
state and federal veterinarians. This
order was announced at a meeting of
cattle owners, live stock commission
dealers and traders held at the stock
yards here.
The meeting was called to make
plans to secure the cooperation Of Gov
error Dunno and members of the state
legislature in obtaining a state appro-
priation to pay farmers and cattle
owners for one.half of the value of cat
tie slaughtered by the state anG fed
eral veterinarians. The federal authori-
ties stand one-half of the cost, but ILL
nois so far has made no provision for
reimbursing the farmers.
A telegram was sent to Governor
Dunno asking his attitude toward a
bill drafted and about to be brought
before the legislature which will allow
an expenditure of nearly 100000 to
recompense farmers, Representative
+. A. Brewer said he believed the bill
will pass. ~.
DR.. Bennett said the only way to
stamp out the disease is to slaughter
the afflicted stock. He said the dis.
ease Is more virulent in this state than
in any other where 1t has broken out
in this country,
"A bull valued at $4,000 will spread
the foot-and.mouth disease Just as
much as a 30-cent cow" Doctor Ben.
nett said. 1T is absolutely useless to
attempt to temporize with the dis
ease. This has been proven a number
of times in Europe"
A suggestion was made to have the
Kane county injunction modified so
the federal veterinarians could be kept
in the field and in supervision of the
work in handling the disease. Doctor
Bennett refused to agree to such a
proposition.

board and the service for the six
courses of the splendid banquet was

feast worthy the name, and was duly
enjoyed by every member present.
The guests Of the occasion sat down
a little after one o'clock and the en-
tertainment lasted until after four
o'clock, a little over three hours OF
unalIoyed enjoyment. ~. .
Harry Hicks was toastma5ter and
made an excellent presiding chair
man. Splendid responses we're made
to toasts appropriate TO the time, the
occasion and the subjact matter in
mind by Doctor David M. Edwards,
president of Penn College, Mrs. Joe
Hanna, Mrs. F. w. Else and l. w.
Cook The gentlemen divided hOnOrs
of the occasion with the ladies and
the excellence of all efforts had full
recognition at the hands of the as
semb!ed company.
Other entertainment was provided
in orchestra music during the ban
quet and several readings. The af-
fair was regarded as the most sue
cessful and the most thoroughly ben
eficial the institute folk have yet en-
joyed This annual affair is coming
into larger proportions and Is looked
forward to by those connected with
the management AMI administration
of the association.

HISTORY IS REPEATED
Second Fire at $40 Fourth Avenue
East From Similar Cause.

Trying to thaw out frozen water
pipe by applying an oil saturated
piece of blazing waste caused a fire
at the John J. Dulin home, No. $40
Fourth avenue east Sunday morning
about $50 o'clock. The fire burned
beneath the floor of the kitchen and
got between the weather boarding
and plastering. Thus history repeats
itself. DR.. A. j. Hunter, residing at
the place not many years since, did
the same act with very similar re-
suits, only the doctor applied blazing
burlap instead of burning waste.
Water was thrown in each case by
the fire department and the men had
difficulty both times in getting the
blaze out, finding necessity for cut.
ting through the floor and into the
walls to get the fire that evaded theii
efforts. Damage however was not
great.
