EPIDEMIC KILLING
 HOGS NEAR TUCSON

TUCSON, Feb. s.-Aithough only a cursory investigation has been made by County Agricultural Agent C. B. Brown as to the extent of the epi- demic of hemorrhaseic septicemia among hog herds, the agent estimates that the disease has gained great headway among herds of the county and that more than 100 head of hogs have died after becoming afflicted with the malady. One hog raiser is known to have lost 60 head
 MT. Brown further declares that from his observations during the past few days it appears that most of the hogs becoming afflicted with the dis ease are slop-fed hogs. The disease is usually fatal in that it brings on hemorrhages.
 E. J. Gotthelf, county physician. when appraised of the epidemic, de- clared that action should be taken at once to stamp out the disease. He particularly stressed the need of boil ing slop before fielding it to hogs. In this manner the germs likely to be contained in such feed would be killed, he said.
 Just how long the disease has been prevalent among the herds of Pima county is problematical, says Mir. Brown. However, from statements made by several hog raisers it is ap- parent that the disease has been in process of spreading for several months, the owners of the herds ap- parently being unaware of the malady with which they had become afflicted. From one herd it has spread to anoth- CT until it is feared that a large num- Der of herds of the county have be- come infected.
 It is declared that one of the best methods of eradicating the disease and preventing it's spread is to burn all carcasses at once. It is said that serum is used effectively in fighting the disease.

E. R. STEWART TAKES
 OVER OFFICE TODAY

PHOENIX. Feb. s.-Frank R. Stew art will take charge Of the office o! collector of internal revenue this morning. Yesterday was given to checking out Judge Alfred Franklin and that work was completed.
 Speaking of his visit to Washing ton, MT. Stewart said yesterday that he was quite confident that the per. manent tariff bill would carry a tariff of , cents on long staple cotton.
 Some opposition had developed from the New England mills, but he thought that that had been offset in a great measure by the agricultural conference. which was\ composed of strong, representative men from all parts of the country, who had ably presented the claims of the farmers
 The president. too, had left no doubt in his address at the opening of the conference of his sympathy with the farmer. Many congressman who had not been favorably inclined toward a tariff on cotton, said MT Stewart, had come to take a friend Her view.

 KILLS MOUNTAIN LION

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz, Feb. 6-Waiter Strange. the 1s-yesr-old son of Mir and Mrs. E. s. Strange. of Red Lake valley. basged lion Sunday He was accompanied by his dog Boob and little pup. Boob is all deg but he boasts Of no particular pedigree He probably numbers hound or two among his varied ancestors. In size he is almost one-fourth as large as a fuilgrown lion like the one killed.
 Readers Of state news will remem- Der Walter Strange from the exploit which brought his name and that of his younger brother into print a year ago when the two of them killed a large bob-cat with sling shots Walt CT has abandoned his sling shot. how ever, and now totes 8 nea; little 9 20
 Boob discovered the big feline while he and his young master were hunt ing in the mountains north Of Red Lake valley. He sent the big coward up tree and held her there until Walter came up. Walter fired-a lit tie hastily perhaps-and the cat dropped from the tree but was sp- parently uninjured. Boob closed in and received cuff from big frcnt paw that sent him rolling for some ten feet to one side. The pup became suddenly brave also and seized the tip of the big cats tail Fuss glared once at the pup and one glare was sufficient. The pup did not stop un- til he reached home
 Boob quickly recovered himself and returned 10 the fray but the monster tabby did not wait for him of she bounded and tip another tree she vert. This action was all so quick and the dog kept so close to the prey that Walter feared 10 shoot lest he might injure Boob.
 Coming up to the second tree the boy fired again and again the cat de- scended still but slightly wounded. Boob. undaunted, resumed the fight at the cost of few more scratches.
 The feline, though several times larger than Boob, dreaded the en- counter and again took to the tree tops. Again Walter shot her. but still without fatal effect.
 For the fourth and last time the lion mounted tree. This time Walt CT took careful aim. The ball struck the cat in the neck and killed it al mos: instantly. The moment puss nit the ground, Boob had her by the neck and soon convinced himself that he had killed his prey.
 It measured six feet from tip to tip.

 NEWaERRY CAS-

NEW6erhf S~0
 WASHINGTON, Feb. s.--The New berry election case was the cause Of another sharp partisan clash today in the senate. Democrats taking yigor- ous exception to remarks by Senator Pepper, Republican, Pennsylvania. in d speech last night at Albany. N. '. In his address. Senator Pepper said that the Democrats !n the Newberry fight "mouthed about the honor Of the senate and the integrity Of the indi- vidnal and then they proceeded to tarnish that honor and impair that in tegrity by voting like flock of sheep
 Senator Ashurst. Democrat. Arizona called the senate's attention to the re- marks of Senator Pepper, and charac- ,erized them. as did other Democrats, as an imputation Of dishonorable action.
 Pepper was not present when the question was brought up but arrived during the afternoon and just before the senate adjourned. had spirited engagement with Senator Ashurs;.
 Ashurst Plays Pepper.
 Questioned by Senator Ashurst, Pepper said he had been quoted cor rectly and added he had assumed that senators would consider the Newberry case iudicially and that this apparent iy had been done by the Republisans, in view of their division on the vote seating Senator Newberry.
 The question of honor. he declared. was raised by the Democrats. ''I chose to accept that issue, only reversed the sides,' he said
 Senator Ashurs. inquired whether Pepper considered that the Republi- berry had violated their honor and whether Pepper was ''excusins or ':.- doning them"
 Senator Pepper replied that his re- marks on the question of honor in the voting did not apply 10 any sena- tors who dissented from the recent remarks Of Senator Reed. Democrat. Misennx;. The latter had attacked the supporters of Senator Newberry, and said there was not a senator who voted for this resolution (seating the Michigan member) who did not brand in red letters above and across his political record the word 'dishonor'."
 Discussion is Closed.
 Senator Ashurst replied that Sena- tor Pepper had "avowed and said that every Democratic senator( vot- ing against Newberry) had stained his soul with -dishonor, but that the Republicans did not"
 The discussion closed when Sena- tor Ashurst asked that Senator Pep per's speech and the majority resolu- tion seating Senator Newberry be printed in parallel columns in the Congressional Record Senator Spep- cer. Missouri, Republican. objected and the request was denied.
 This resolution has been attacked earlier in the day from the Demo cratic side as "stultifying," and Sen ator Ashurst said that it condemned the vast expenditures in the Nc, berry case bvt supported Senator
