NEWSPAPER PLANT DAMAGED.
Iowa City Republican Suffers Heavy
Loss From Fire and Water.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Nov, 15.-Fire of unknown
origin. followed by a flood used to
quench the flames, inflicted heavy
damage on the plant of the Iowa City
Daily Republican. Saturday afternoon
shortly before o'clock. The chief
loss was by water which flooded the
interior from the attic to the basement.
The linotypes. presses, etc, together
with the newspaper stock and job stock
are estimated to have been worth
$4,000. Water may have ruined most
of the equipment. The insurance car
ried by David Brant and Sons. is but
$4,000.
The fire started shortly after Mr..
Brant. ST., had built a little fire in a
stove to warm up the place. in antici-
patton of the coming OF the worlsmen
later, as the force was spending a half
holiday at the football game. The
editor left the building about 5. and
within the hour it was ablaze. A de-
fective fue or Over-heated pipe may
have caused the fire.
The fire department saved the struc-
ture. largely, save as to the fourth
other three stories, but the deluge in
flicted great damage.
Attorney f. L. Stevens and his bust
ness partner. S. Il. Morrison. own the
building, which is valued at 10000.
The loss on the building may be $4,000
and the insurance is only $4,000.

Des Moines Nov. 15.---In published
interview appearing recently in the
Iowa City Daily Press and later in the
Des Moines Register and Leader +. G.
Carson, of Iowa City, vice president OF
the Johnson County Savings Bank, Sc
verely arraigns DR.. Tillie, of Musca-
tine, assistant state veterinarian, and
DR.. j. l. Gibson, of Des Moines, for
placing a quarantine on the Martin
Boyle farm and the West Liberty
stock yards few weeks ago on a sup
posed foot and mouth disease case
which later proved to be slight case
of forage poisoning. He also criticizes
Governor Clarke for vetoing the Hill
singer bill last winter which provided
that the animal health commission OF
the state could not establish quar-
antine with a radius of more than
three miles from the farm where the
diseased animals were confined. He
declared that the action of the gov
ernment's representative, DR.. Day,
when he arrived at the farm was to
Immediately proceed first, to issue an
order declaring open the five mile area
which Title had closed and he like
wise released the stock yards" He
continued by saying that DIR. Day

then examined the animal In question
on the Boyle farm and at once pro-
nounced the case local trouble due
to poison caused by the overeating of
turnips and not the foot and mouth
disease as DIR. Title had so dag
nosed.''
Mr.. Carson concludes his article by
saying that "the West Liberty sup
posed case which the federal officer
took out of the hands of the assistant
state veterinarian, DR.. Title, Is the
first step in the right direction and the
people of Iowa, to a man. will stand
right back of this move and will con-
tinue to do so in the future If the
backing is necessary"
such backing is necessary"
Titles Course Approved.
Dr. Gibson, state veterinarian, wrote
to DR.. Day and enclosed a copy of the
Carson interview. To-day he received a
letter from DIR. Day in which the fed
eral officer declared that Title did
right in establishing the quarantine,
that he CDR. Day. did not lift it nor
mad no authority &c do IS" and that
Governor Clarke did right in vetoing
the FIilsinger bill An excerpt from
Dr. Days letter to DR.. Gibson follows:
Mr.. Carson. the writer, seems to be
laboring under some misunderstanding
and this article appears very much like
many other articles of it's kind which
have appeared from time to time in
the public press during the past year
in which the writer wishes to take Il
rap at their state officials. especially
when the sworn duty of the official
presses upon some ones toes.
MIR. Carson seems to be OF the opin-
ion that I ordered the quarantine re-
moved from the West Liberty stock
yards. In this he is in error. DIR. John
T'illie stated to me that he had quar-
antined the yards as precautionary
mea sure and after our investigation
suggested that he would release them.
Surely Mr.. Carson knows that no
Veterinarian in the federal employ has
the power or right to remove quar-
antine which has been imposed by a
state official.
Mr.. Carson seems to think tina
your state veterinary department is
without a head to guide it and that
DR. Tille acted very unwisely. My eN-
perience with the veterinary depart
lnent of the state of Iowa has always
led me to believe that it is well or
ganized and running under a sys-
tematic management. In regard to DR..
Titles action I think he was justi-
fled in taking the precautionary meas
ures thai he did as there were some
LESSONS present in the COW which re.
sem5ies foot and mouth disease.
Concerning the H:lsinger bill, | am
glad The governor vetoed it. as l CAL
see that with such a bill foot ant:
mouth disease would be very hard to
control
