MAY QUARANTINE
STOCKYARDS At
CHICAGO AGAIN
Report That Some Animals
Have Developed Foot and
Mouth Disease.

CHICAGO. Jan. 26.-Probability OF
another quarantine of the Union
Stockyards here developed today with
a report than animals shipped East
from supposedly clean districts in the
yards had developed the foot and
mouth disease.
There were frequent reports that
the quarantine had been established
in certain sections of the yards, bnt
officials OF the government inspection
bureau said that no quarantine had
keen ordered.
Conferences OF officials OF the State
and Federal live stock bureaus were
being held, and the packinp houses
expected that before the close of the
day a closing order would be issued
preventing the shipment of live stock
from the yards.
Although no official order prohibit
ing the shipment of live stock was
issued early in the day by the Federal
inspectors, no stock was shipped pend
ing word from the department heads
at Washington.
A. G. Leonard, president Of the
Union Stockyal DIS Company, said
mo live stock is being shipped to-
day from the yards. Some animals
shipped to the East are reported TO
have developed the foot and mouth
disease and the federal inspector here
suggested that shipments cease tenn
porarily until word has been received
from Washington. No order closing
the yards nor prohibiting shipment
has been issued"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Reports
from the Chicago stockyards were
received today at the Department OF
Agriculture and officials of the bu-
reau of animal industry were in COM
munication with officials at the yards
1t was thought likely an order en-
! bodying the recommendation OF th(
inspectors on the ground would bt
issued later in the day.

POLICE CIRCLES
GUESSING A LOT
OF LATE, 'T|SSA|D
Rumor Has 1t That important
Changes Are Already
Mapped Out.

Something's In the wind in the
police department, but no one can
get wise to what it is,' was the re-
mark heard in and about the City
Hall today. In fact, the same remark
has been going the rounds for sew
eral days.
There have been mysterious visits
of the police commissioners to Mayor
Raymond's office and the commits
sioners have been having their own
quiet talks.
About the best guess that could be
hazarded by close observer of years
experience was that the new admins
tration intended to have the police
department run according to It's own
ideas and by men close to the throne
and in the confidence of the throne.
This gave an impetus to the report
that the office OF superintendent OF
police may be created. The now
official might be called director If
the term superintendent didn't ex-
actly suit. He would, OF course, be
In charge of everything appertain-
ing to the uniformed force and, as
an officer, higher in command than
Chief Long.
Then two or more inspectors would
be in order. Their duties could be
so outlined and defined that the two
would hold a superior position to
men who are now their superior Of
ficers.
In some quarters nominations are
being made for the Office of superin-
tendent or director or whatever the
title may be. Captain William Stucky,
of the mounted squad, seems to have
the most votes. and 1t is said that
he is in great favor at the high seat.
Captain Samuel Brown, of the Sixth
precinct, has also been put in nomi-
nation by the unofficial slate makers.
But Stucky is the man most fire.
quently seen in confabs with the new
powers that be.
Gossip extends itself enough to say
that some recent promotions from
sergeantcies to lieutenantcies, etc,
will be transformed into demotions
and that civil service arrangements
and requirements will be complied
with in working out the plans.

thy with the striking laborers at
Roosevelt, about seventy men en-
ployed In the fertilizer plant of the
Bowker Chemical and Fertilizing

as the men in Roosevelt are doing.
The wages are now SLIGO day.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 26-(Spe-
claD The Middlesex county grand
Jury Is in special session here today
to consider the charges against the
twenty-seven former deputies of the
O'Brien Detective Agency in jail here
for the killing Of two strikers at tht
Williams & Clark plant of the Amer
ican Agricultural and Chemical Com
pany, a week ago today.
Prosecutor w. Edwin Florance had
more than 100 witnesses on hand when
the jury convened. He will ask that
indictments for murder in the frs
degree be returned against the men.
The charge to the jury was made by
Justice James j. Bergen. The ses-
sion was, as usual, behind closed
doors
Justice Bergen's charge was brief

murder, and it IS your solemn duty
to indict for that crime and let the

| Speaking about the hiring of the
deputies, he said
But there is no authority In the
law permitting a sheriff to name what

against public policy, but is in direct
violation of the State laws. The sher-

Everywhere tho attitude Of President
Wilson was tho subject of grave con-
sheraton. Most officials seemed to
agree that 1t might be several days
before tho policy OF the United States
could be formulated. because of the
scarcity Of ofIicial information rs to
tho circumstances under which the
Lusitenia was sunk. During that time
IT was hoped tn, opinion Of the people
OF tho United States would crystallixe
and aid the administration in reach
ing a decision.
Senator Lodge. ranking Republican
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
said he was not prepared to discuss the
sinking OF the Lusitania. The sinking

without giving passengers an oppor-
tunity to leave the Senator thought a
new thing In warfare.
Among Senator'S at the capital there
was general feeling of alarm, but
all RETAINED from entering into public
discussion while awaiting develop
ments. The opinion prevailed that loss
OF American lives and the manner in
which the Lusitania was destroyed
would arouse public opinion tremend-
ously.
