al Ticks Found on Animals Arc Mt
Fever Ticks.

some stock owners still cling to the
belief that ticks cannot all be eradl-
cate because the small animals, such
rs rabbits, etc which harbort cks. Can
not be treated to destroy the parasites.
Hence they conclude that the methods
at present employed in tick eradica-
tion cannot prove successful.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind of ticks.
True, to the casual observer, all ticks
have striking similarity in appear
ance, or look more or less alike. But.
as matter Of fact. there are quite a
number Of different varieties Of ticks,
each one being peculiar to certain an
imals. bat do not d. velop on others.
But 50 far as Texas fever is concern
ed, there is only one variety OF the tick
known in North America That will
transmit the germ of this fever, AMI
that is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle, horses aud
mules. The other ticks, which are
found on dogs. rabbits and other ami
mails. while they all belong to the tick
family. do not fleet cattle to any eX-
tent, and have no connection whatever
with Texas fever; DOR are they consid-
cred at all in the campaign of tick
eradication.
The confusion, Or m conception,
with regard to the possibility Of tick
eradication. seems tt hav. arisen
from the idea or be lief. therefore, that
all ticks seen or fourd on all kinds of
animals are one and the same kind Of
ticks, which, fortunately, is not the
case Ii it were so, complete tick
eradication would. indeed, be a hope.
less undertaking.
II should be understood. therefore,
that the common cattle tick seen on
cattle, aud which natures only on cat
tie, horses and mules, is the only va
ri-ty that transmits the germ of the
fever, and the on y ticl: that the au
thorities are trying to exterminate;
the other being harmless to cattle, SO
far as tick fever is concerned. And q

State Loses Fifty Millions.

We clip the FLOWING statement
OF the President of the Board of
S ate At .irs. which was published
recently in the New Orleans pa
prrs:
Substantiating recent estimation that
from $3.50, 600, 900 to $40 900 600 could be
added to the total asse Ssment OF the
State without raising assessments, l..
E Thomas. tha.rm,n of the State
Board Of Affairs Saturday afternoon
issued a statement showing that per-
eonal property aggregating so 900, :
600 and land to the amount Of 40, 600,
900 acres were not assessed in 1916.
Mr.. Thomas arrives at his figures
by comparing the totals in the report
OF the State Board of Equalization
with statistics compiled on the same
items by the United States Gems S Blu
reau.
A table accompanying Mr.. Thomas
statement gives the following as not
having been assessed: 576972 head of
cattle valued at S.4. 683 S32: 81 81
horses, valued at $40 9l3 45O; IL. COG
mules. valued at s.. 337 2S3: 1.6 496
sheep md goats, valued at $40. 2So;
/ ,452, $50 hogs. valued at Sill. 1876 8D7:
. OBJ aut, m hi ;es. valuedat 81. 353 543.
OF the 6s9. SAG acres Of land not ac-
counted for. MIR Thomas estimates
that at least 800. 900 acres are subject
to taxation. and that the balance
prObabl is exempt property, as pub
lie school lands.
''Our Investigation shows" the
- hot fu-o
ishes Of the State did not assess a
single hog last year; thirty-five par
ishes d d not assess any farm inple-
ments, machinery nr equipment; ii ty-
five parishes did not assess any dla-
monds or jewelry. and fifty parishes
did not assess any notes, credits and
accounts, showing that small num-
Der Of parishes assessed some of these
items, and Of course those who did
assess them and pay taxes on them
contributed taxes on property that
other parishes were not paying on at
all, and this is the reason why the
Board is insisting on all classes OF
property suij CT to taxation under
the law b ing treated exactly alike, SO
each and every parish will do what is
right by its neighoring parishes. :
We arc 10 accord substantially
with the statement Ct Mr.. Thomas,
but we are not astonished at the
disc oeures he makes in reference
to the valuation Of a great bulk Of
taxable property in number Of
psri hes in this State which has
not been assessed at all. The
condition Of aff1irs has bean
known AID openly com planned of
for years. We are glad to see
that the government and the poll
t!cians promise at last to aft ,rd
remedy.
The assessor of the Parish Of
st. Mary, Mr.. Henry w Kappsl,
than whom there is none be ter
or more conscientious, he's al
ways used his earnest eff ,rts
to place all taxable property
In the Parish of St. Mary on the
assessment rolls, His variou, as
eesements are proof of THE fact
We feel assured that he will work
faithfully with the Board ia their
endeavors to e d the properties
that are screened by their own
els from assessment.
In all fairness, we think the as
SCISSORS In each parish of the State
should do the came, go that the
equity sought can be obtain d.

SHOOTS SERVANT GIRL.
BELIEVING HER BURGLAR
Lawyer, Awakened by Her
Fumbling at Door, and Wounds
Her in Shoulder

Anna Ferrie. eighteen years old "a do
mestc employed in the home of George
Hart, an attorney, 5921 Pulaski avenue, left
the house early last night TO visit some
friends. II was shortly after midnight
when she returned To gain entrance she
went to the rear door. II was locked, and
she had forgotten TO take her key.
For several minutes she fumbled with
the doorknob in an effort TO force the door,
She made 40 much noise that she aroused
her employer, who, glancing out of the
window and seeing the hazy outlines of a
figure working al the door, believed that
IA burglar was Strying to gain entrance.
Quietly he stepped over TO his room and
returned with a revolver. He called TO the
figure and, receiving no answer, fired three
times. Then he closed the window
The girl was taken to the Germantown
Hospital, where 1t was said that her wounds
are not serious. Hart was arraigned before
Magistrate Pennock today and testified that
the girl had been employed by him yester-
day. bat was not to go to work until this
morning, and that when he heard noise
and saw a shadow on the side of the house
he thought a burglar was trying to enter
the house. He called out the word halt
ne said, but got no results, and then he
fired a shot in the air. The figure continued
to advance and he shot twice at the shadow
wounding the girl.
Magistrate Pennock held Hart In S4OO bal
for a further hearing next Thursday.

COAL SITUATION
NOW UP TO POTTER
Million and Half Philadel-
phians Eagerly Await Solu-
tion of Fuel Problem
HAS COMPLETE AUTHORITY

William Potter is now coal dictator of
PennsyIvania BY an extension of his
powers, just confirmed. every barrier has
been removed from his exercise of complete
authority in all coal matters concerning
Pennsylvania. This announcement rs OF
the deepest interest to every coal-consuner
who has been anxiously and hopefully
watching his disposition of the more TIM
tied authority he has exercised heretofore.
MI Potter'S conception of his powers of
othce has been that they were purely ad-
minstrative, subject at every point to the
higher ruling of Washington" was said by
those closest to the Administration today.
Even with his very keen realization of the
gravity of the dangers threatening Phila
delphia. this impression has largely cur
tailed IhiS field of action. But any such linz
itation as has existed in his mind no longer
exists. BY this latest extension of his
powers he becomes subject to no higher
authority, not even that Of Garfield himself.
In other words, it is now UP to Mr..
Potter
The coal situation existing in Philadelphia
has become matter of gravest concern
to the powers in Washington. and that a
coal famine in Philadelphia at the outset
of prob ibly severe winter must be averted
al any cost. it is frankly admitted. not
merely for the interests OF the Philadelphia
citizens i'll prepared to meet such a famine,
but because such a famine would strike a
blow at the most vital interests of the
nation.
Philadelphia is the heart of the nation $
shipbuildng industry The whole world
is looking to her for the winning OF the
war through the ships only she can provide.
The largest shipbuildng concern in Phila-
dephia is at this moment sending out ad-
vertisements urging householders to open
their homes to the workers on the Govern
ment ships,
West and South Philadelphia are at the
present moment in the clutch of All actual
coal famine. Their retailers have no coal,
and there is little coal Immediately availa-
BILE though bright predictions have been
made a-plenty Labor conditions compli-
cate any immediate correction of this ap-
palling condition. The question is What
will William Potter do toward their ad-
justiuent?
What will he do toward informing him
self as to the car supply, admittedly in
sufficient, and to the repairing of its de-
iiciencies? viii he be big enough to look
at coal problems through the eyes of needy
consumers, or will he be blinded by the
glamour of big business? Is he big enough
to meet the big dealers without fear or
favor?
More than a million and a half Phila =
delphians now have the right to look to
William Potter for the right answer to all
these questions

NICHOLSON GAINS
AS COUNT PROCEEDS
Credited With 81 Additional
Votes in One Division and
81 i'm Another
INCREASE NOW ABOUT 200

The opening of the ballot box of tho nine
teenth division of the Eighteenth Ward to-
day by the election court under order Of
Judges Martin and finlettcr resulted in
gain of twenty y-one votes for the Town
Meeting party. The right OF the court To
open the ballot boxes was attacked by con-
gresham John Il. Is. Scott representing
the Republican city committee.
Henry j. Scott, counsel for the Town
Meeting Party. presented IL petition today IN
which he alleged that the Judge of election
in this division had thrown out twenty-five
votes. These were discarded because the
Town Meeting party square had been
marked and also the square opposite sam
u"l p. Rotans name.
john r. k Scott admitted that this was
50, but said that the error was 80 evident
that there was no necessity of opening the
ballot-boX. lie also maintained that the
Court did not have the power to- do so The
testimony showed that the election judge
had tied these twenty-five ballots together
in bundle and had saved them.
W. Horace Hepburn representing Fred
eriCk j. Shoyer city Treasurer-eiect, re-
quested that the Court withhold decision on
this petition until ne had had time to fainil-
arze himself with the iifty-sx petitions
presented today. This was refused. judge

for treasurer. who on the face of the un-
official returns was shown I" have been de-
feated by Frederick Shoycr by 2700 plural
ity. was made. This cuts down Shoyer's
lead by about 200 votes in the total so far,
but it is contended by organization men
that this will be offset by the vote in the
fourth division of the Seventh ward. where
it is proposed t. have the boxes opened and
where it is claimed that number Of votes
for Nicholson were counted twice.
