Twelve Horses in One Stable

and although there is said 10 be grave
danger Of the disease spreading 10
human beings, the Board of Health
has as yet taken no action in the mar
ter. DR.. Charles I. Hoch. State veter-
marian, stated today he had called
the attention Of DR.. c. NJ. Handy.
president of the Board Of Health, To
the situation. but that the latter did
not think the city health department
had anything 10 do with the situation.
In the stables OF the Radcliffe Bak-
ing Co, DR.. Hoch said, he had killed
II of the company's % horses and all
the carcasses have been burned in the
city incinerator at the foot of Liberty
street. One other horse in the same
stable is now suspect and the re-
naming ten have passed successfully
two tests, but are to be examined
again.
The State Board of Agriculture is
handling the situation at present. They
have ordered the stable Quarantined
and they have also shut of the water
supply to all public drinking fountains
where horses may drink. as these are
said to be one of the worst sources of
contagion. They have also ordered
fumisated the blacksmith shop where
the baking company's horses were
shod.
With the exception of these steps
the board has taken no further ac-
ton in the premises as yet. DR.. Hoch
suggested that every horse in the city
be vaccinated. but this has not been
ordered, due largely to the fact that
the board is handicapped by the lack Of
funds and the vaccination would cost
considerable. The general situation
is being carefully watched and It is
probable drastic steps will be taken
in the event there is a further spread
OF the disease.

may become infected and goats also
have the disease. In both man and
horses, according to these same
authorities. the disease is remarkable
for its fatality. II is pointed out that
when horses get il they should be de-
stroyed without further consideration.
1t is easily communicated from the
horse to man by contact with the in
fected discharge. 1t is a disease af-
fecting the nostrils of the horse.

RUSSIA HAS GONE LIMIT
IN REPLY TO THE POWERS

Genoa, May 10.-The Russian reply
10 the allied memorandum today was
expected TO leave the way open for
continuance of their negotiations with
the powers represented at the Econo-
mic Conference.
The soviet delegates 1t Is understood
have gone the limit in concessions in
an effort to avert. a break up Of the
meeting. They will urge, according
TO one source, that the political fea-
lures in the allied note be excluded.
but will stand by the principle OF
naturalization Of foreigners prop
erty in Russia. a question which has
aroused the most vigorous antagonism
among the French and Belgians.
1t is also understood they will pro-
pose organization Of a special COM
mission TO adjust matters in which
their Commune system clashes with
the economic structure of the other
European countries.
In other quarters il is declared the
Russians are to demand a loan OF
$1,000, either in money or
goods. They will also insist that the
allies grant in principle the right TO
nationalize property without indemni-
fication, and acknowledge their right
to settle frontier questions directly
with the nations concerned.
AS the Russians worked on the final
details of their reply, the pessimism
prevalent in conference circles for the
last few days seemed TO be diminish
ing. Efforts We're made to assure the
support Of the Belgians and French
who withheld their signatures because
of the property clause.

five minutes later. When she opened

occupied, Miss DENLY did not search
any other parts of the house and
again went to her bedroom.

second time by the turning OF the door

and went TO Mrs. Harvey's room.
where the same smell of drug tainted
the air. Mrs. Harvey was aroused
with much difficulty.
Several policemen who had rushed
TO the house in an automobile. made a
thorough search of the house. In the
dining room a blanket was found
spread on the floor and some articles
hastily thrown on it. 1t was evident
that the thieves had just begun their
