Sunday Morning Task for State and Federal Ocers-Foo and Mouth Disease Developed in Animals That Had Been Quarantined Suspicon-31 Had to be Slaughtered Inspection of Diaries is Going on.

Federal Officer Dr. c. J. Becker and Dr. F. A. Ingram, deputy state cattle commissioner, with their staff of aS- sistants, went to the farm of Samuel after appraising the 31 cattle belong ing to Mir Clark, they killed and buried the animals among which it had been found the foot and mouth disease had developed. The herd had been in quarantine for the past two or three days under suspicion that the disease might be among them. The officers left here at 9.SO Sunday morning and were back at 2.30 in the afternoon after completing their work.
 It requires from hours to 25 days for the disease to develop and on Fri day it was found that an OK and a, COW had developed the disease so that all the exposed animals were ordered killed.
 The Clark herd consisted of 27 cows two oxen and two year1ings. Accord ing to the usual method when cattle are to be killed, a trench about feet deep and 6 feet wide was dug and the cattle were led into it and shot. Then the bodies are slashed open, lime thrown over them and covered with six feet of earth. While doing the work the men wear rubber hats, coats, gloves and boots.
 When cattle are condemned and slaughtered the state and federel of- f1cers disinfect the premises. barns, shed and yards with formaldehyde gas and fumfgate thoroughly. This expense is met by the government and the state, osch paying half. The federal and state authorities and the owner of the cattle killed make the appraisal in case there is slaughter and they all three sign an agreement that the owner is satisfied with the appraisal. Dairy cattle are appraised at their dairy value, but Sheep, goats and other animals at thear meat value.

 Meanwhile the inspection of the dairies in the fifteen towns under quarantine is going on as fast as pos sible and the officers have all the men they are able to handle at work. As soon as the first round of inspection has been made it will be followed by re- inspection.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
 WITH INTENT TO KILL
Daisy Phillips, Formerly of MontviIIe,
 Cut Her Husband with Razor.

Daisy T. Phillips, formerly of Mont vile, but recently residing on Main street. just above Richards, in New London. is in Jail in New London, to appear before the court there on Thursday to answer a charge of as- sault with intent to kill her husband with a razor last Thursday night.
 William E. Phillips. the husband, is in Memorial hospital, at New London, with a slashed head and face, cut with a razor which Mrs. Phillips told the police she used to defend herself. Phillips never admitted that his wife slashed him, but claimed that he fell from the trestle that crosses Win throp'S cove.
 The facts regarding the case as learned from Mrs. Phillips are that Phillips went home with a good supply of liquor and that he was accom- panied by Big Nick,' a Pole, who works and lives at Montville. Phillips had bottle of whiskey and the pair wanted Mrs. Phillips to imbibe of it. This she declined to do. She wanted Bill to give her a dollar for she was going to the store to make some pur- chases. He would not give the money to Daisy and before the matter was settled Mrs. Phillips was in her room dressing for the street. She had on a spotted waist and a black skirt. These Bill tore from her person. Mrs. Phillips said that she was stripped by him. In the tussle that ensued Phil lips grabbed for a razor that was in a bureau drawer, but Daisy was too quick for him and she got the razor and hit Bill with it. Then Phillips went out on the sidewalk and the Pole made getaway and has not since been seen in New London.
 Phillips bled so freely that there was a stream of red fluid running from the place on the walk where he rented TT1 4~JI Frank Howard and T. c. Sullivan that he had fallen from the railroad trestle but they doubted this story and inves- tigated in the Phillips home where they found evidence of the cutting in blood on the floor of the kitchen. Mrs. Phillips had endeavored to clear away the blood. She was arrested and taken to the police station. She was pretty well intoxicated, but not what would be called drunk.

THE KNIGHTS OF OLD
 AND KNIGHTS OF TO-DAY
Compared by VoIuntown Pastor in
 Address Before K. of c. Fourth De-
 uree,


 gree.
 Rev. Daniel Mullen assembly, Fourth Degree, Knights of Columbus, with Grand Knight J Edward Driscoll pre- siding, held a very interesting meet chamber of the order, in the Sunlight building. Members were in attend- ance from Voluntown, Taftville and Central Village. A large number Of applications for membership in the Fourth Degree section were received. The members voted to hold the next meeting of the assembly in Putnam the first Sunday in May. This action was taken upon the invitation of seV- eral members of the assembly who reside in Putnam. The Rev. Daniel Mullen assembly includes in its juris- diction the councils in Norwich, Taft vile, Moosup. Danielson and Putnam. It is very probable that the trip will be made in automobiles, and a full attendance of the members is expect ed.
 Following the regular order of bus mess, Rev. Richard P. Morrisey of Voluntown gave a very interesting address to the members, taking for his subject, The Knights of Old as Compared with the Knights of Today. The speaker said in part: The knights of old reached their greatest numeri- cal SITenSIn QuTllS Ine Ientn century, with headquarters at Jerusalem. Their mission was to protect the faithful or their pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Another branch of the knights of old was known as the crusaders and their main purpose was to deliver the sep ulchre of our Lord from the hands of the fnf1dels. The knight of today has different mission. His purpose is a peaceful one. He is called upon to extend the brotherhood of man. to conquer, not by the sword, but by love and service to mankind. The knights of today are called upon to extend a knowledge of Christianity and to stem the tide of inf1delity. Hike the knights of old,'' said the speaker. ''the grand order of Knights of Columbus, num- bering hundreds of thousands, are standing togetho-, throughout this American Republic, as a grand army of Christian men, advancing the prin- ciples of Christianity. installing a spirit of patriotism in the minds of their members, and standing firm, at all times, for obedience to all lawful au- thority'
 At the close of his remarks, Father Morrisey was warmly applauded.
