NO QUARANTINE OF DOGS
Prompt Action By State Bureau In
Pasro!ing Border

According to State Policeman How
ard Elliott, who is special deputy
commissioner Of the State Bureau Of
Domestic Animals, patrol is being
maintained on the state line where it
borders Massachusetts and Rhode Is
land, to prevent rabid dogs from COM
ing into Connecticut.
A few weeks ago dogs from adj
joining state. attacked dogs in bor-
der towns in this state. 1t was
thought that the dogs making the at
tacks were rabid and the bureau i'm
mediately took steps to prevent any
rabid dogs from crossing the border.
AS nothing has developed in the
past two or three three weeks it Is be-
lieved that the situation is well in
hand Many dogs that have come
across from Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island have been killed, the reports
in the hands of the commissioner Of
domestic animals showing that thirty
three have been shot along the border
from Union 70 Thompson and from
Thompson southwark to oneco dur
ing the past two weeks.
Officer Elliott said that the efficient
co-operaticn Of dog wardens of vari-
GUS Windhaia county towns in con-
trolling the situation makes 1t posi-
bic TO announce that no quarantine of
dogs will be necessary in border towns.
This will be particularly pleasing to
owners who do not like to keep their
dogs under restrictions such as a
quarantine cnforees.

Grain Men of West
Say Roads of East
HaveCut Tariffs
!. C.. C.. Told of Reductions
to Combat Competition Of
Canadian Carriers Which
Have Reduced Rates.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Witnesses
for western grain men testified be-
fore the Interstate Commerce COM
mission Tuesday that eastern rail-
roads had reduced rates on grain
from Chicago to Atlantic ports for
export in order to meet competition
from Canadian carriers which pre-
viously had effected radical reduc-
tions. The hearings are being held
to determine whether domestic rates
on grain and hay shall be reduced.
The grain men introduced the
testimony. they said, TO combat I'M
pressions that the reduction on ex-
port grain would benefit the farmer
and increase the amount of grain
exported.
Placed in Record.
Over the objection of attorneys
for the carriers their recent appli-
cation for authority to reduce by
~ cents 100 pounds grain rates
from Mississippi river territory to
the Atlantic coast was placed in the
record. 1t said:
"The proposed reduction is to
meet competition of the lake and
rail routes from Chicago via Buff
falo and the Georgian Bay ports. An
volume of grain has
moved from Chicago via the lake
routes during the present season as
compared with previous seasons.
Your petitioners do not feel they
can further forego participating in
this traffic particularly in view of the
fact that at this time the volume of
general tonnage moving is partic-
ularly light"
Lake Route Used.
c. B. Bee, rate expert for the Mis-
souri, railroad commission, in
troduced statistics intended to show
that the movement of grain from
Chicago via the lakes never had
been more than 100000 bushels, or
an average of IA per cent in any
previous June, but due to the Cana
dian rates 14,16l 900 bushels. or 79
per cent of the total, had moved by
axe this year.
While Daniel Kelly, rate expert
or the South Dakota railroad COM
was on the stand, Commits
,;oner Potter asked whether the So
ution to the whole problem Of high
.ates would not be a reduction OF
operation expenses and whether an
,ther wage reduction of railroad
workers could not be expected to be
effected in lower freight rates. Mr..
Kelly replied that in all probability
both could be expected.

ment that we were prepared to go

in our favor and the three soviet

Eastward from the frontier. our
road to Moscow stretched through a
gentle rolling country in,crspersed
with sparse forests of undersized
pines. From the windows we saw
that plowing was in progress in a
number of places, but there were
many fields that were not titled.
There was one noticeable differ
ence between the scenes at the Lat
Wan and bolshevist railroad stations.
In the former were buffets with we'll
stocked shelves of food and white
rolls, in spite of the soiled exte-
riors. East of the frontier the rail-
way buffets were simply semi
darkened rooms with dirty broken
mirrors. glaring out from behind
empty shelves across barren space
containing possibly a few broken
chairs and tables.
Each time the train stopped, old
women and children made their ap-
pearance, selling boiled eggs, milk
and a certain variety of nut which
all the peasants seemed to be con-
tinually hulling and munching. Small
papers of sunflower seeds were also
being sold for the same purpose. A
green beer bottle filled with boiled
milk sold for 1000 roubles and one
boiled egg could be had for 1000
roubles, or about 3 cents in Amer
lean money.

post in Moscow. Does it live up

M'Adoo Says U. S.
Not Bound Paw
Money to Roads
Opinion of Ex-Director Cen
eral Given Senate in Letter
After Committee Re-
fuses to Call Him.

Washington. Aug. 2+.-Disap'
proval of the administrations rail-
road funding bill, recently reported
to the senate interstate commerce
committee. was expressed by Will
liam G.. McAdoo, former director
general of railroads. in letter pre-
sented to the senate today by Sena-
tor Stanley, democrat, Kentucky,
who requested Mr.. McAdoo's views
after the committee refused to hear
him.
The government is not morally
and legally bound" as stated by
President Harding, to fund the $763,-
100000 the railroads owe the gov
ernment for additions and better
ments, Mr.. McAdoo asserted He
declared the president must have
been misled into making such a
statement" adding that the law pro-
vides for the funding only of "the
remaining indebtedness" of the rail-
roads, which he calculated at $685.
100000. ...
May Defer Payment.
Payment on this balance, Mr.. Nc
Adoo said, may be deferred 10 years
by the railroads provided satisfactory
security were given and 6 per cent
interest were paid
This is the kind of settlement the
law now authorizes and contem-
plates" Mr.. McAdoo said, adding
that when the roads were returned
to private control they owed the
government $l.144,000,000 fer addi-
tions and betterments, of which
1881 100000 already has been ex-
tended for long period. He urged
that before any further advances
were made the railroads be required
to abandon the inefficiency of labor
claims, amounting, he estimated, to
about $500,000,000.
Il suppose you realize that i'll adj
dition to the ST, l44 100000 the rail-
roads owe the government for 'ad-
ditions and betterments,' they have
received additional loans under the
Esch.Cummins bill of about $780,
100000, making a total of 81, ,444 ,000,-
GOO, Mr.. McAdoo's letter said.
U. S. Must Wait
Stripped of confusing non-cssen-
tials, what is now proposed is that
the government shall wait 10 years
Tor $765,000,000 the railroads owe it
for betterments and improvements
and paw Immediately $500000,000 to
the railroads on account of claims
for alleged under-maintenance, etc,
taken from the 1870 or more rail-
roads involved with their varying
degrees of financial responsibility,
such securities as they may be able
to provide; securities which in many
instances may not be adequate to
protect the government against
loans.
This is not a question of legal
and moral obligation on the part
of the United States to lend the
railroads $500.000,000 more for 10 |
years. 1t is a question Of policy |
and should be considered from that |
standpoint only. For the adoption
Of such policy the administration |
must, of course, taketle rcsponsi-
bility but it should be candid about |
it. The public mind should not be |
confused by juggling of figures,
of accounts, or securi- |
ties or governmental agencies"
