the state Live stock Sanitary Board
TO counties In which the fever tick
exists.
The law which the Musgrave bill
would amend to exempt his county
has been on the books some twenty
years, but it was only recently that
the board began TO exercise its pow
ers TOR the Kidding of Southampton
County of the cattle tick. When the
law was enacted there were thirty
four counties in the State in quaran-
tine against the tick. There are now
but three tick-infested counties, and
Southampton is one.
AS Mr. Musgrave explained before
the recent hearing by the Joint COM
mittee on agriculture and Mining. ana
as he explained yesterday to the
House. Southampton Is not only
cattle county, but hog county. The
application of the regulations OF the
Live Stock Sanitary Board to his
county, he declared, would kill his
county and wipe out the great Smith
field ham industry. The hogs which
produce Smithfield ham are of the
variety known as razor back, and run
on open range. To apply the law to
Southampton would eliminate the
open range. Mr.. Musgrave insisted
that his bill is a local bill.
Delegate Beattie. OF Henrico, de-
clared it the most dangerous bill be-
fore the Legislature, and pointed out
that its passage would allow the
spread of the fever tick into all parts
of the State. Colonel Leedy, also OPP
posing the bill, said the House might
as we'll enact local bill against
smallpox" Messrs Coldiron, of Lee:
Lowry, of Stafford, and Adams. of
Charlotte also OppOSed.
The vote by which the bill was ad-
vanced to engrossment was reconsid-
cred and after discussion of the
measure was had, II was left, by a
vote of 20 to 81, on It's second read
ing on the calendar. 1t is well down
toward the bottom of the list, and II
is doubtful if 1t will again be reached
on third reading.

ed over two opponents-Howard I.
Colvin and NJ. r. Pace,-after q
considerable contest, in which labor
organizations throughout the State
participated. Mr.. Doherty, however
was most strongly endorsed and as
his conduct of the affairs of Office
have been above reproach, and carries
with it the approval of a majority
of the people and the organizations
most interested in the proper admins
tration of the department.
Mr.. Doherty was endorsed by fiftl-
three labor unions, sixteen members
of the General Asambly, and seven
members of Congress and 228 individ-
uals.
Alexandria Unions were Divided,
some endorsing Doherty and others
Colvin. The latter's home is in this
city.
Mr.. Colvin had the endorsement Of
twenty-one labor unions aH1 was
urged for. appointment on one peti-
ton. Mr.. PAGES endorsement was
that of five labor unions and three in

Commissioner Doherty was first
named by Governor Montague and he
has successively been named by the
Governors since Mr.. Montague.
Mr.. Doherty is confined to his
home with a severe case of grip, from
which he is recovering. 1t is probable
that he may be able to return to his
Office in the Capitol Building early in
the coming week.

The sailors and marines toiled hard
to recover the bodies Of those who
lost their lives in the disaster, ara
at sundown 20 bodies, some OF which
were mutilated,, had been gathered to-
petber. The loss of life in the Otay
valley now is estimated at so, while
reports that the cloudburst in San

cost no more than 10 lives brought
the probable death list in this sec
tion to GO.
A new food poured down the Tia
Juana River today, which has risen
four feet at it's mouth at the foot of
San Diego Bay. Officials here said
that this undoubtedly indicated the
bursting of the Morena dam, GO miles
back in the hills. Fearing that the

pounded by the dam would tear new

nado Strand into the sea, residents
Of Imperial Beach, hamlet on the
