TIDE OF HUMANITY
FLOWS THRU STREETS
Forty Thousand March at Memphis,
Gen. Luke Z. Wright Being in the
Ranks-ThOuSands in the New
Orleans Demonstration.

Chicago, June 3.-The preparedness
parade here today was said by Major
General Barry, commander of the cen
trail department, United States Army
to be one of the greatest and
one of the most inspiring spectacles
he had ever seen.
The great parade, in close order
from curb to curb, flowed like a tide
through the streets all day. 1t i'm
pressed by its bulk. There were no
floats, no comic costumes and little
of the holiday spirit APPARENT. Airs
played by the bands either were
patriotic OF military. Patriotic songs
were sung, or hummed or whistled,
and occasionally hymns were rem
dered, ending with Coward Christian
Soldier" which seemed to strike the
paraders as appropriate. A division
of clergymen carried off singing
honors.
The parade started promptly at 8
a. M, and it was late in the day be-
fore the last of the marchers passed
the reviewing stand. The number in
line was approximately 100000.

PAVING WAY FOR
COL. ROOSEVELT
Bosses Prefer Former Pres
ident to Hughes, Who'll
Lead on First Ballot.

Chicago, June 3-Republican or
ganization leaders predicted tonight
that Charles E. Hughes would get
more votes on the first ballot for
the presidential nomination than any
of his competitors. They estimated
his strength ON the initial ballot at
between IT'S and 225. The organiza-
ton forces estimate Roosevelt's first
ballot strength at less than $50, but
admit his vote will grow when cav
orite son" candidates begin to drop
out.
This situation, it is said, may lead
to temporary organization to fight
Hughes in the early hour of voting.
There are outward indications that
the Roosevelt men and the organiza-
ton Republican leaders are paving
the way for possible harmony later,
by numerous talks of an informal
character between representatives OF
each group.
First Ballot Claims.
Following is a statement of the
number of votes claimed by the man.
ayers Of the different candidates on
the first ballot:
Hughes, 292.
Weeks, 200.
Roosevelt, 175.
Burton, 112.
Cummins, 106.
Fairbanks, SO.
Root, Is.
Sherman. IS.
Knox, Sc.
Grumbaugh, Al.
Ford, 30.
LaFollette, rs.
General Wood, Is.
DUPONT, IA.
Borah, 5.
During the day and evening, the
political leaders found time, to pay
some attention to Chicagos great
preparedness parade. Managers of
all the aVowed candidates stated that
their respective candidates were with
the paraders in spirit. and with any
movement that would adequately pre-
pare the country for any eventuality.

How to Diagnose Hog Cholera.

When a bunch of hogs become
sick the owner is often confused
as to what the cause may be.
While there are several things be-
sides hog cholera which may cause
the death of a hog or two, yet
there is no disease in this coun-
try that kills hogs in large mum.
bers but cholera.
In order to diagnose hog chol-
era it, would be well to know
something of the nature of the dis
ease. Hog cholera is caused by q
specific germ which is SO small
that it cannot be seen with the
highest powered microscopes. This
disease is both contagious and in
fictitious. Hogs will ordinarily
take the disease in from ten to
twenty-one days after being ex-
posed. The time will vary, due
to the following factor: The re-
sistance Of the hogs, the condition
they are in and the amount of in
lection they are exposed to. The
symptoms Of hog cholera are high

DENIES COURT Is 3 YEARS
BACK
State Supreme Clerk Calls Bar
Association Statement In
Justice.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 90
A recent statement published on
authority of a committee of the
Missouri State Bar Association
was characterized today by j. D.
Allen, clerk of the State Supreme
Court, as unfair and misleading.
The statement in effect was that
the Supreme Court is 1000 cases
behind in it's docket or, figured in
time. about three years.
"This is far from correct"
said Mr.. Allen, "the court is up
with all criminal eases, all court
in banc eases, all original proceed
ings, all eases involving the con-
struction of the Public Service
Commission law and on all second
appeal eases.
Measured in time, the Su-
preme Cosrt is far from a year and
half to two years behind in it's
direct-appeal eases. The court is
behind only on direct appeals.
These eases aggregate several hun
dred each year. For the year
that ended April l, 1916. the court
gained 167 eases On the direct
appeals.
"There are in reality $50 eases
on the docket and SIS cases were
appealed during the year ending
April last. During that year
the court disposed of 454 cases by
opinion, 231 eases by motion and
also determined Is original writ
cases.
II cannot understand why the
Bar Committee should make
statement that the court is three
years behind. 1t is gaining on the
litigation as is shown by the net
gain of 1877 cases last year on the
direct appeal docket. The state
ment does the Supreme Court an
injustice, not Intentionally of
course, but still an injustice.
THE net record for the year
ending April l, 1916, is $50 cases
in round numbers disposed of
with few more than 500 ap- =.
pealed.
