Second. We ndorse the Capper- Hersman bill

1t doesn't take much argument to convince the
of lousy stock that relief measures should
be inauguraed to combat the lice and relieve the
animals. Lice show on animals usually in the late
winter and early spring months. The harm they
do is then very apparent. Stock owners usually
busy themselves when the life and thrift of the
infested animal Is seriously involved. But 1t takes
greater argument to get the average stock owner
to combat lice on animals that do not look lousy
Lousy spring animals were also lousy fall animals
The only difference is III the number of lice Why
not kill the few lice now that apparently do no
harm, instead of the many that have done harm?

Many Kinds Of Ice-Houses.
The house may be any one of many
kinds. An ideal ice-house is one thing.
A house that will keep ice is quite an
other thing. Farmers Bulletin 623 Of
the United States department of agri-
culture gives full information concern
Ing them.
The ice-harvesting season fortunate
ly comes at a time when there is the
least work on the farm for men and
teams, and consequently the actual
money cost is usually not very great
The quantity of Ice needed depends
upon the location of the farm-wheth-

DESCRIBE LAST
 MOVE IN CASE
 AS VERY CLEVER
Responsibility Arranged to Fall on Judge
 Light.

"A very clever move'' "One of tho best cases of passing the buck that we've had in some time"
 These are the general trend of opinions heard on the latest move in the conspiracy case involving Attor- neys Henry Greenstein, Harry Mesard, Solomon Badesch and Francis J Breen, by which Judge John H. Light has been designated by States Attor. ney Homer s. Cummings to make full investigation of the case.
 t"This move." stated a prominent lawyer this morning. Tets Delaney almost altogether out of it. He may be held to blame for 1axness in pre- liminary investigation but if further prosecution is ordered by the City court the responsibility for this will not rest with either Delaney or Judge Bartlett but will fall in great part on the shoulders of Judge Light"
 Another feature of the continued case in court yesterday causing con- siderable comment is that when Att torney Jacob B. Klein for the defense taxed Prosecutor Delaney with being lax in his investigation preceding ar rest, the latter made no defense oi his action nor intimated that future disclosures would show him right.

 The Killians responding to treat ment, the doctor went to the apart ment occupied by Mrs. Margaret De- vine on the second floor where Mrs. Devine and the five children, John, Margaret, James, Leo and Bernard, were all found unconscious. First aid treatment was administered with sue cess here also.
 Going to the first floor apartment of Michael Dwyer, the doctor and his assistants were unable to gain ad mittance and were forced to break in the door when it was found that Dwyer, his son, Thomas, and daugh- ter, Margaret, were all unconscious. The condition of these three was such that they were immediately rushed to the hospital. The unconscious body of Thomas Dwyer was found on the floor beside his sisters bed where he had fallen in an attempt to respond to her calls for help.
 Returning from the hospital the Emergency doctor went to the other side of the house to the apartment of Frank Krause and his wife. Neith- CT Krause or his wife were unconsci- ous but two roomers, John Days and Puja Wenje1 were found unconscious on the second floor and were so bad ly affected by the gas that they had to be removed to the hospital.
 In the apartment at 1O16 Mrs. Georginia Bonchan and her son Al fred were both found unconscious, but were revived by first aid treat ment. In another apartment Mrs. Malvina Shon and her three chill dren, Alfred, Dorothy and Ruth, were also unconscious, but responded to first aid treatment.
 Sergeant Herb of the Third precinct and two patrolmen were sent to the scene immediately after the arrival of the ambulance and rendered valuable | assistance to the Emergency doctor and driver.
 At the Gas company the reason for ! the break was given as the settling of the ground where the newly construct ed sewer and the gas main crossed, the frost causing a displacement of earth which so weakened the support of the main that the pipe gave way.

LYNCH FOUND WIFE WASN'T
 TRUE TO HIM

While Harry B. Lynch was in the United States navy he learned his wife had been unfaithful and he Se- cured a divorce from Margaret Lynch in the superior court this morning. The case is unique for the reason that Lynch is in South America at present and as the action was uncon- tested the decree was granted with out either of the parties being pres ent in court. Judge Banks told At torney F. E. Morgan, counsel for Lynch, that a divorce could be grant ed under such circumstances if the case were proved.
 Lynch lived in this city before he went into the navy and a, woman who lived near him testified this morning that Mrs. Lynch had be- come a mother during her husbands s absence and that another man was the father of the infant. The wit ness said she went with Mrs. Lynch to the hospital.
 It was shown that Lynch has not been in this country since June 1, 1918. Witnesses told of having seen Mrs. Lynch with the other man while her husband was. in the service.

 defeated there the controversy will be taken direct to President Wilson in the hope of a veto. The opposition of the unions, as shown in the me- morial to Congress declaring the re- drafted bill to be destructive of the employees constitutional privileges and liberties, is based chiefly on the method proposed for handling wage and labor disputes.
 The provision for a fixed financial return to holders of railroad Securi- ties also is attacked, the memorial holding that the provisions would constitute "an abandonment of gov ernment for the common good, the establishment of government for private interest, special privilege and class benefit
 Principal objection to the labor ar- bitration clause is based on the man ner in which the special arbitration boards would be constituted and the manner of their operation. Union leaders contend that the arbitration boards, including the permanent fed era1 board of nine members might be so composed as to eliminate labo' from representation.
 The method proposed of adjudicat Ing labor disputes by groups or no1 less than 100 employees, the leaders declared, would destroy all discip- line and lead to chaos" because they would encourage the workers to dis regard existing agreements and Iong | established orderly methods of pro- cedure.
 The union officials, as s~- the memorial, see in the bill 'tde- termination to annu1 existing agree | ments and destroy the organizations which negotiated them," and voice 1 strongly their opposition to the pro- vision that would make ineligible fol

WHOSE FAULT CAUSED ERROR
 IN TAX RATE

Chickens come home to roost,'' g and so the Wilson administration which Iaughted so heartily when aud- itors discovered a $1O0,000 on the Board of Education, is now fighting valiantly to effect post-mortens, cre- ate a1ibis. etc., to explain the error of $300,30 clerical error which came to light yesterday. In the midst of a period of promised business strin- gency, the Board of Apportionment finds itself short of it's own estimated revenue.
 Who made the error? Some quar- ters felt that it was the city auditor, others attribute it to Assistant City Clerk Jones. At any rate the oc- currence has had a very depressing effect, upon Clerk Jones.
 He was suffering from elementary palsy today and had to use a guide rule to keep his pen within specifi ed columns of the books. And further he ordered that reporters should in the future keep out of the inner con fines of the clerks office.
 How will the city raise the money to cover the deficiency? The tax commissioner has finished his work of arranging valuation, so naturally it will have to be done by the Board of Apportionment, which should de cree that instead of 29.S mills, the taxation will be 29.9 or perhaps 30 mills.

 Counsel for MT. Hearst contended that only nominal bond should be re- quired, as board officials had told congress all bids had been rejected and that no sale would be made with out specific permission of congress.
 MT. Hearst sued, it was stated, no, for his personal gain, but in the pulp lie interest, to prevent loss to the government, and counsel added that 8 bond of $5,00O,0O0 required of sim gle taxpayer would prevent public spirited person in future from ap- plying to the courts in similar cases.
 Justice Bailey said he would be pre- pared tomorrow to fix the bond and intimated that the expenses already incurred as to the proposed sale probably would govern the amount of the bond.
