Worst Outbreak of Foot and Mouth
Contagion in England For Years.
Birmingham, Eng, January o.
What is described as the worst out
break of foot and mouth disease for
thirty years has occurred among the
cattle in the midland counties.
The appearance of the disease was
first noticed on December 26 at the
Central meat market here. A num-
Der of cattle rom country markets
were found to be suffering and were
Immediately slaughtered but the con.
tagion had already spread. The board
of agriculture has since ordered the
destruction of four hundred more an
imals and the closing of the market.
The midland counties are scheduled
as infected.
The first recorded case of the pre-
sent epidemic occurred at Ripon JAN
uary 8, 1919. Since then, twenty
seven separate outbreaks have occur
red in as many different places, not
t.aceably connected with each other.

Smoke From Flaming Oil in

Boiling oil burst into flame in a
forging machine in a classroom at the
Stuyvesant High School, East 18th
Street, this morning and smoke began
to pour through corridors and rooms.
The action of students, teachers and
principal was instant and efficient.
One student ran to the second floor
and notified the principal, Dr. Paul
Won Nardors, who sounded the school
fire alarm. The well drilled students
responded with true military snap and
in less than three minutes the school
had been emptied of $500 boys with
out a sign of disorder.
Meanwhile the students in the forg-
ing class, under the direction OF
their teacher, Ernest Schwartzkopf
dumped sand on the blazing oil and
succeeded in blanketing the flames
Mr.. Schwartzkopf then set in motion
a large exhaust fan, which sucked
the smoke from the room and halls
and sent 1t through the ventilating
apparatus into the streets.
An alarm had been turned in, but
when the apparatus arrived most OF
the excitement was over. Firemcr

The maid or nurse who almost in
variably figures on the witness stand
in prominent domestic entanglements
was not missing when the action
which w +. D. Stokes has brought
against his wife came 70 trial to-day
before Justice Finch in the Supreme
Court. This one was Juliette Gass-
ner, who used to take care OF the two
Stokes children, and she told all she
knew Of Mrs. stokes's comings and
gOings and those with whom, she
spent the time when Mr.. Stokes was
not in her company. She related
much about Mrs StoiSess cousin, Hal
Bllig, who Is named as one OF the
correspondents, telling OF weekend
trips in Colorado on which, however.
the Stokes children and Mrs. Stokes's
sister always went. Also she told Of
a party on one New Years Eve when
Mr.. Stokes ordered Billig out of the
stokes residence. That night Mr..
Stokes nailed up the door leading to
his wife's room.
But the sensation. of the day, aside
from bits OF testimony here and there,
was the appearance OF Mrs. Stokes on
the stand as the first witness. She
was asked to identify batch OF pho
tographs Of herself and various
friends, some of the pictures having
been taken three years before she was
married TO Mr.. Stokes. The pictures
showed her in white overalls working
in a garden and also sl1ylarking with
one Of the male members OF a Wis
consin house party. Mrs. Stokes
could not even remember the names
of some Of the people in the pictures.
Mrs. Stokes, a handsome young
woman, was modishly dressed in
fur cape, brown velvet hat and lace
waist-looking not unlike a fashion
plate in a French paper.

Francis Wellman, NJ. Stokes's attor-

The opinion, which was written by

The conclusion Is, in the light of

that the State may regulate a husi-

or may become an instrument Of
widespread oppression; that the tusi-
ness Of renting homes in the city Of

subject to control by the public for

OF rents and the suspension of possess

plish the purpose as to supervene the

"The order appealed from should be
affirmed with costs"
The decision is very sweeping, COW
ering not only the broad questions
presented but also actions for rent on
