Dynamite, Mule Terror
of Camp, Is Mustered Out
Special to the Telegraph

Camp Whitman n. Y. - This
is the history of Dynamite. the male
mule who has kept this camp in a state
OF war continuously for the last two
weeks and surrendered unconditional
ly to-day.
he needed no military training to dis
play his genius. He came here two
weeks ago, with 200 other green mules.
He had scarcely arrived when a gun
ner from the First Field Artillery tried
to rope him. The gunner is now in a
state of convalescence.
Dynamite refused to stand hitched
even to a post. Once they succeeded
in harnessing him to a supply wagon.
The wagon Is now gradually rotting
away in a neighboring creek. Dyna-
mite then had the freedom of the camp
till the arrival of the regular army in
spectors who Immediately ordered him
mustered out OF service.
The difficulty was to get him entrain-
ed. 1t took seven men four hours. this
afternoon, to get rope around his
body, and then get turn around his
nose. Dynamite jerked his head and
felt the pull. He tried once, more and
then docilely accepted the situation.
Here is a tip for the horsehandiers
at the Sixtieth street yard of the Grand
Central:

man to expectorate where chickens
can feed, is likely to infect some in
dtvtdual hen and she in time, especial
ly on filthy ground, may finally infect
an entire flock.
Avain tuberculosis is nearly always
a disease of the abdominal cavity or,
the nodules are nearly always found in
the liver, bowels and spleen and rarely
in the lungs. There is no sure way
that can be commonly used to know
whether a certain hen is tubercular
without killing, followed by a post
mortem. The most observable out
ward signs are peculiar stare to the
eye, a wasting of the bodily tissue, es-
pecially at the breast bone, and an oc-
casional lameness or dragging of one
leg. Occasionally there may be indi-
cations at the knee or hook Joint and
the sole of the foot.
Any hen going light" should be
promptly inspected, g. post mortem
made and If the characteristic nodules
are found in parts as mentioned above.
the carcass should be cremated and
dilgent search made for others in like
condition. Pigeons going light or hav-
ing diseased" wing joints are in the
same class and to be as promptly dealt
with.
In few cases known to the Denart
ment where this disease has been ig-
nored, after a few years, it apparently
assumed Virulent form attacking old
and young chickens in large numbers
and causing great loss ana compulsory
abandonment of poultry keeping. For,
tunately on account of the wasting ma
ture of the disease few reach the mar
ket, but, buyers will do well in all cases
to reject carcasses where the liver is
missing or the meat gone from the
breast.

TUBERCULOSIS
FOUND IN HENS
State Expert Says That 1t
Should Be Stamped Out
Without Any Delays

tuberculosis exists among the hens
In the barnyards, chicken coops and
poultry farms of Pennsylvania far
more than generally known and there
are a great many hens in the State
that are tubercular, compared with
seven or eight years back, according
to w. Theodore Whitman, expert poul-
tryman, of the Department of Agrieul-
ture.
This increase is no doubt due direct
ly to the enormous increase in the last
decade of the keeping and the at
tempting to keep poultry in large num-
bers on the intensive plan. In plain
words on bare ground, soon sour,
tainted and infected ground.
Without pretending to be ultra
scientific, 1t is Mr.. Wittman's opinion
that avain, bovine and human tuber-
culosis are mere variations or adap-
tations of the same disease and that

iced after cattle or hogs that may
be infected, or of allowing some hu-

POLICEMEN GET
COMPENSATION
Interesting Decision by Chair
man Mackey Is Made Public
This Morning

Constitutionality of the Pennsylva-
MIA workmens compensation act is up
held and a policeman declared to be
public servant and to come under the
operation of the compensation act by
Chairman Harry A. Mackey, of the
board, in an opinion given to-day re-
versing the referee in a case decided
against the city of Reading and ap-
pealed to the board by the munich
pality. The decision will affect the
hundreds of municipal divisions in the
State.
Daniel B. Smith. Reading police
man, was declared to have died from
the result of a fall during which he in
jured his side and compensation was
awarded the widow. The evidence is
held to be insufficient to sustain the
verdict.
Mr.. Mackey decides that the claim
that the municipality was deprived of
the right of election of trial by jury is
not we'll founded because the Supreme
Court has held that municipal cor
porations, being creatures of .legis-
lauon, have no constitutional guaranty
VI NlIdl ny jury. AS 10 ln6 ODJGCllOllo
to the title of the act, he says that the
title puts everyone on notice that the
common law method of settling ques-
ttons between employer and employe
has been abolished and that q new
scheme of compensation has been
adopted with a right of election.
The chairman decides that q police
man has been accorded the benefits of
compensation, saying: 1T is perfectly
evident that the Legislature intended
to extend the benefits of this law to
every servant of the State or of mu-
nicipality, city, county or other gov
ernmental agency who renders service
for valuable consideration. This sec
ton expressly excludes the casual en-
ploye not engaged in the regular busi-
ness of the employer and persons who
take materials 10 their homes for the
purpose of working upon them"
In regard to the claim that the act is
unconstitutional in that it goes against
the constitutional provision regulating
recovery of damages, the opinion says:
The Legislature by the act of 1915 re-
pealed all acts giving to an employe
any right of action against his en-
ployer based upon negligence, except
as provided for in Section of said act,
and that in it's place there has been
substituted, not a right of action nor
any scheme of litigation either known
to the trainers of the Constitution or
regulated by any provision of that in
strument, but rather a scheme OF COM
pensation born of new conditions
drafted in conformity with the spirit
of the times and in harmony with
other humanitarian enactments."

The Eight-HOur Day for
All Britain

One is a compulsory forty-elght
hours week in every occupation" The
eight-hour day for all employees in all
Great Britain
The other is membership OF a trade
union to be compulsory on all workers"
Trade unionism compulsory and univer-
sal either by treaty between labor and
capital or by law!
In such a country the political opin-
ions of a labor leader-a real labor lead
er-are genuinely important. The man
I went to see, on the occasion to which
| have referred, was Mr.. W. A. Apple
ton, secretary of the General Fedora
ton of Trade Unions. That means that
he is the chief executive officer of the
Federation and its customary spOkes
man.
And what did | find? | found, as |
frequently have found, that ! had gone
to see a man who had been earnestly
opposed in principle, to the idea of con
scription, but who was equally earnest
in believing that the war should be
fought all the way through to the abso
lutte end. Mr. Appleton has two sons in
the army at the front. He is proud that
they went. They went of their own free
will Some five million other men in
Great Britain and Ireland offered 10 90
of their own free will before compulsory
service was brought in. Compulsory
service, he had been convinced, was UNI
necessary, and, further, for another rea-
son. unwise IT would have been bet
ter, it would have been finer, it would
have brought more of glory and more Of
moral strength to the British people to
have won the war without surrendering
the British principle Of free will, as vol
unteers and it could have been done, in
his Judgment. That was why he OPP
posed compulsory service when the gov
