distance, may be conducted into the
trench through pipe, and the flow SO
regulated as to keep the absorbent
material constantly saturated with it.
In any case, the burning shall be con.
tinued until the whole of the carcass
is consumed in order to destroy every
particle of infection.
The trench method of cremating, or
burning, is much less expensive than
by burning the carcass upon the sur.
face of the ground, as by the former,
a draft is created, and with fire above
and below, consumption is much quick.

BURIAL:-A hole, or pit, shall be
dug of not less than six feet deep, so
that there shall be a space of not less
than four feet from the upper surface
Of, the body of the carcass to the sur
face of the ground.
Where there is suspicion, or the fact
is known, that an animal has died of a
contagious, infectious or communicable
disease, such as Charlton or Anthrax,
Hog. Cholera, ETC., four to six inches of
lime shall be placed over the bottom
of the hole or pit, the surface of the
carcass covered with lime to the same
depth, and the hole filled in with earth.
A hole or pit for this purpose shall
not be dug in the vicinity of any water
course, or well, in order that contami.
nation Of such water supply, by infec-
ton from the carcass, may be pre-
vented.
In communities where public animal
crematories are available, carcasses
may be disposed of In such crematories.
Where possible, and practicable, car
cases shall be disposed of, either by
burning or burial, where they lie, or
are found.
When carcasses have to be removed
for proper sanitary disposal, they shall
be conveyed to the place of final dis
position in, or on, some suitable We
hicle, as a wagon, cart, sled, etc., and
not dragged along the road, highway
or field, as infection may very easily
be spread in this way.
In case of the removal of charbonous
carcasses, the natural body-openings
shall be plugged up, or stopped, with
lint cotton or tow saturated with an
effective germicidal agent, such as
crude carbolic acid, etc., to prevent
and disinfect any discharges that would
otherwise issue from such openings
and leave fresh centers of infection.
And, the ground on which such car.

All vehicles used in the removal of

carcasses, shall be thoroughly disin.

Immediately after being used. When
the vehicles are of little or no none

Three Killed by Burglars.

New York, April 5.-Otto Zinn, a
restaurant keeper, and two of his
employees, a porter and a cook, were
killed early to-day in Zinn's restau-

and his wife, who slept over the res

keeper and his two employees in the

q safe which had been moved from
a place on the floor above and evil

not been broken open.
Beside the dead men lay three
bloody cieavers with which the bur-
glars had battered in their victims

There was evidence that the muir

successfully to cut through the floor
under the safe, then went upstairs
after the place closed and rolled the
safe into the cellar. The porter and

U. S. OBSERVERS RECALLED.
Army Officers With Ger
man Army Ordered Home.

Washington, April 3.-The five
military observers with German ar
mics have been ordered here and
their places will not be filled. The
reason assigned by Secretary Garri-
son for the recall order to-day was
that their mission had been fulfilled.
That explanation, 1t was announced,
would be the War Departments last
word on the matter. 1t is known,
however that other reasons, largely
of n personal character, were con-
sidered by army officials in deter
mining to withdraw the observers.
The American observers have
found their positions somewhat diff
cult because OF the high tension
which at least few Of those with
whom they must come IN contact in
Germany have been strung by
months OF warfare and press reports
in Germany criticising the attitude
Of the United States on various sub
iects relating TO the war. The effect
has been to hamper the observers
and open possibilities Of personal
friction that might become interna-
tional and officials here are under
stood to have determined to with
draw the officers rather than that any
unpleasant incident should occur

the world, He knocked out Jack
Johnson, the black champion. in the
26th round of their championship
bout here to-day. 1t was Johnson s
fight all the way until the 22d round
when the vitality left him because Of
the hard pace which he carried
throughout the early rounds.
Then the giant plainsman opened
his heaviest attack, and in the next
few rounds carried the fight away
from the black man and toppled him
over with rights and lefts to the
body and blows to the face.
Seventeen thousand persons saw
the combat, and when Johnson
crumpled up on the floor from a
fierce right swing to the jaw, the
crowd burst into the ring. Soldiers
cleared the ring.
Johnson took the referees count
while lying on the ropes, but the

ing it was voted to extend call ia
Rev. George w. Peck of the Lyndon Bap-
list church at Camden, N. j.. to become
pastor of the Rutland church, the pull
pit having been vacant since the resig-
nation some months ago of Rev i. W.
irwin. Rev. Mr.. Peck preached in Rut-
land few weeks ago. He has been
pastor of the New Jersey church for nine
Years and has made good record be-
cause of his energetic work in both
church and civic affairs. When he went
to Camden there was debt of $4,000
on the old church property. A new $780,
600 church has been built and is now all
paid for but $4,000 The Sunday school
has an enrolment of 1900
