it, which is more than some merch-

POORER CLASSES

Essen, Germany, Sept 1.-THE
poorer classes must not be exposed
during the coming winter to the dis
comforts they have suffered the past
few months, said Secretary Steger-
wald of Baron Batocki's Food Bureau
at public meeting held here. While
a number of Socialists in the audience
interrupted him with loud exclama-
tions Stegerwald outlined the new
measure now being worked out tor
the relief of poorly-paid wage-earners.
Among the proposals incorporated
in the scheme are sliding scale of
food prices according to incmoe, or as
an alternative a scheme of compensa-
ton by the State in cases of certain
articles of food the prices of which
cannot be reduced suddenly.
Elaborate precautions are being
taken to ensure a supply Of potatoes,
autumn fruits and vegetables at reas-
lonble prices for the coming winter.
Stergerwald also promised that the
iprices of meat should soon be lowered
and that workers employed on hard
physical labor should receive an ev-
ira allowance of meat

licher Anzeiger, contains an order

STILL; SITUATION SERIOUS
(By Associated Press }

New York, Sept. 1.-THE gener-
al strike situation is more serious to-
day. The leaders of 100000 labor
men of greater New York and vicin-
ity are threatening a sympathetic
strike. The service on the subway
and elevated in Manhattan and the
Bronx is impeded. The surface sys-
TENS in those boroughs and West
chester county are virtually tied up.
Union leaders declared that if nec-
essary $4,000 union men could be
called out within six hours. Traction
officials attributed the trouble on the
subways and the elevated to the un-
precedented increase traffic due to
stoppage of surface lines. Union
leaders claim the detection of en-
ployes responsible.

HIGH COST OF MEAT
TRACABLE TO THE TICK

Jacksonville, Sept. II. Cattle
breeders in all parts Of the United
States and in the corn belt States
particularly remember with horror
the outbreak of foot-and-mouth dis
ease at Chicago about two years ago.
The beef and dairy industries Of the
nation were endangered, resulting in
rigid quarantine restrictions being
enforced by State and federal off,
cials. During tie year that it took
to clean up the infected area, 168,-
15S animals were killed, valued at
approximately $5,676,0OO.
Commenting upon the subject, Ed
ward B. Mitchell, in his article on
Animal Disease and Our Food, in the
1915 Year Book of the Department
of Agriculture says: "This loss
created CONSERVATION The atten-
tion of the entire country was at
tracted to it and in several quarters
the fear was expressed that the elm
ination of the disease by the slaugh-
ter Of the exposed heads would lead
to shortage in the meat supply.
One Out of Every 1000
"As matter of fact, less than one
tenth of one per cent of the total
|'number of the cattle, sheep and
cwino on tho fa rmo of tho country
were killed in this way. That is to
say, less than one meat animal out
of every thousand was slaughtered
,, TO save the rest. The money that
the country paid to rid itself of an
exceptionally costly outbreak was
less than three per cent of the an
nual tax that other animal diseases
levy upon it.
"If we should be compelled, on ac-
count of the foot-and-mouth disease,
to throw away year after year the
meat, the milk, and the hides of from
$50, 900 to 10000 animals, it would
, with justice be regarded as serious
blow to the prosperity of the coun-
try. We are. however, throwing away
so much more than this that, in COM
parison, the additional and unusual
loss from the foot-and-mouth disease
is Insignificant.

BOGGS MURDER CASE
AGAIN COMES UP

Miami, Fla, Sept. 1.-THE case
against James Butler, charged with
the murder of A. A. Boggs and Miss
Marjorie Boggs will be by far the
most important matter to come up
before the session of the circuit
court, which opens Tuesday morning
with Judge II. Pierre Branning on
the bench. The docket for the term
has not been sounded, but Judge
Branning announces that he will de-
vote the first week of the session to
civil cases, giving the grand jury
chance to return any true bills 1t
wants, to and then take up the GRIM
inal cases the week following. Sever
al important civil matters have been
set for the coming term, while the
Butler case is the most important
criminal case.
Butler is confined in the county
Jail at present, as is also Charles
Mayberry, whose alleged confession
led to Buffers arrest in the Caro-
linas some months ago. It is claimed
that Mayberry has confessed Of how
he went to the Boggs home with But
ler on the night Of the murder. Nov.
25, 1914, and kept guard on the out
side while Butler entered the house
with intent to rob. Later, Butler
came running out and told Mayber-
nv they had better leave, according
to the alleged confession. Mayberry
asserted he did not know anything
about the murder, or the fire that
destroyed the house until the next
morning.
It is probable that the State VIII
also have further evidence than
Mayberry's statement, as this sec
tion has been thoroughly searched
by detectives for evidence on the
case. A detective has been working
almost constantly since the time OF
the robbery and it is expected that
he will have important matter to
bring before the jury.
