Poultry Disease
Due to Rail Cars
Bryan Writes AL Smith Tran.
sit Company Failed to
Fumigate Property.

Special Dispatch 10 lho O"an" Aoos
Lincoln, Dec. 13.-Insanitary rail
road cars are responsible for the
spread of the poultry disease which
recently caused the New York City
board of health to lay an embargo on
Nebra ska fowl, Governor Charles w
Bryan asserts In a letter OF protest
which he sent today to Governor Al
Smith of New York.
Governor Bryan announced In his
letter that he has issued an order to
the department Of agriculture TO
fumigate all poultry shipping cars en-
tering Nebraska from the east to pro-
tect Nebraska poultry against the
epidemic.
He asserts that the fowl recently
shipped out Of Nebraska did not have
the disease when they left the state
but that it developed while they were
in transit in cars of the Live Poultry
Transit company. He asks that this
company and other poultry carriers
be ordered to fumigate their cars.
Governor Bryans letter says the
embargo of the New York City health
department is unnecessarily rigid
and will cause a loss of hundreds of
thousands OF dollars to Nebrasks
farmers unless rescinded. He ask
Governor Smith to urge that thu
embargo be lifted.

Accident Rate
Low in Nebraska
States Record SuEpasses All
But Mississippi, Census
Figures Show.

Although 766 persons were killed
in accidents In Nebraska during 1923
this state held the second lowest ac.
cident death rate for the year, ac.
cording to survey made by the bu-
reau of publicity of the Chamber of
Commerce from figures released by
the Department of Commerce.
Mississippi, with a death rate OF
only 81 per 100000 persons. holds
first place, but Nebraska is a close
second with a rate Of 57.4 per 100000.
OF the 766 persons who were ac-
cident victims in Nebraska in 1923,
123 were killed by automobiles, Civ
ing the state rate of 90 per 100, 900
persons. Only eight states hold a
lower rate. All of the eight states
which rate better than Nebraska are
in the south, and while Nebraska
stands third in per capita auto own
ership these eight range from 32d
to 49th in this respect.
One-fifth of Nebraska's accidental
deaths, or 152, occurred in Omaha
OF these, 40 were caused by auto
mobiles. 10 by railroads. S by street
cars. by other vehicles. and SO by
other accidental causes. Thus Omaha
with Is per cent of the states popu
lation, suffered 20 per cent of Ne
braska's accident fatalities.
In comparison with nine other
cities of 100000 or more population,
Omaha stands lowest In point Of to.
tai number of such deaths and. third
lowest in point of its death rate per

Still later, when the west was

Girl Writes Ode
to Police Monk
Sergeant Jocko Jiggs' Athletic
Feats Are Recorded
in Verse.

Sergeant Jiggs has made such a
name for himself at Central police
station that poem has been COM
posed in his honor by Margaret
Plots, 16. daughter of Jailer Charles
Plotte, 1924 Fowler avenue. Mar
garet Is student at North High
school.
Sergeant Jiggs Is a monkey, said
TO be the only monkey at Central
station, though this statement 10 dis.
puted by some.
When he first was brought to the
station after escaping from krug
park a cage was built for his dwell
ing in the garage.
The sergeant, lover OF liberty,
escaped from his cage the first night
and broke into a bottling works
across the alley, where he terrified
a cat half to death by chasing the
feline all over the place. He also
spilled ink bottles on the desks.
Rides on Roller Towel.
The next morning he was given
into the charge of Jailer Plots, who
installed him in his ONCE. He now
behaves exemplarily, amusing himself
by leaping to tho top OF the roller
towel and riding down.
Margaret Plotts Is a friend OF wnom
he Is most fond. He greets her with
everv show of affection. So Mar
raret has embalmed him In poetic
memory as follows:
JOCKO JIGGs.
A native from distant Africa,
As skinny as rail. nm. asx
Came driving into town one oas
And landed right in jail.
He .eemed to be q namelees Kid.
But he liked to. play with m,ss' ,,,n,
They wondered what to cal n,n'
And finally named MIN "'hs'
Sergeant Jiggs was sure polite:
His manners were good: OF course.

Vow he's the only monkey on inc iorce'
He shokev a wicked shoulder
And he loves to May with uce.

such as picking out the hce'
Sergeant Jiggs Is the .queerest thing.
He ieaped . great big fence.

And sot ink for evidence.
