FOWL DISEASE BILL
SENT T0PRES|DENT
100000 Appropriated by
Congress to Fight Out
break.

Moving with unaccustomed speed,
Congress yesterday appropriated
100000 to finance a fight against the
outbreak of poultry diseases and
transmitted the result of its action to
the White House for approval The
bill authorizing the expenditure was
not signed yesterday, however, be-
cause President Coolidge had left for
a week end cruise on the Mayfiower.
The Senate passed a resolution Fri
day authorizing the expenditure, and
the House yesterday quickly gave its
approval. With the money in hand
the Department of Agriculture will
declare guarantees to prevent the
spread of chicken diseases. Surveys
to determine the infected areas will
begin at once.
The Bureau of Animal Industry ex-
poets to issue an order tomorrow pro-
hibiting interstate shipment of dis
eased chicken coops and railroad cars
not disinfected. Railroads will be
requested to hold up any cars not
cleaned and certified.
Launch Intensive Campaigns.
Pending the quarantine. Federal in
spectors in poultry centers such as
New York, Boston, Providence, Chi
cago Gnd Omaha will begin a cam
paign of inspection and sanitation.
All places where poultry is assembled
will be disinfected. Other inspectors
will be stationed at railroad transfer
points to intercept shipments not dis
infected.
The departments investigation of
the situation began several days ago
when New York and other States and
cities declared emhargoes against
poultry shipments from several Mid
western States. Inspectors in Chicago
and other Western cities found signs
of disease generally termed infec-
tious bronchitis. Later investigation
in New York City revealed cases of
the European fowl plague, its first ap-
pearance in this country.
The department recently issued q
statement that there were no grounds
for fear that human health would be
endangered by the disease.

DROPS SUIT AGAINST U. S.
New York Decides Test of Water
power Rights Inadvisable Now.

ALBANY, n. Y, December 20.-The
State of New York has discontinued
its suit against the United States de-
signed to test the powers of the Fed
eral water power commissioner under
the Esch water power act. State At
torney General Sherman announced
today.
Il agreed to discontinue this suit
because l felt the State could not
have q test of these important ques-
tionS in view of the attitude of the
present Federal officers, who have
taken no action which may be re-
garded as an infringement of the
States rights in its waters, and, in
conference, substantially conceded
tho States claim" said Mr.. Sherman.
1T is unfortunate that the relative
powers of the State and Federal au-
thorities with respect to water power
cannot now be determined. The con-
flict of interests is almost inevitable" :"

NEW YORK. December 20.-Of the
bootleg liquor being dispensed for
the holidays, 80 per cent is unit to
drink, J. w. Dillon, chief chemist at

that hair tonic has become the most
popular purchase of bootleggers,' he
said.
conditions in the liquor traffic are
growing worse instead of better. II Is
being conclusively proven that the drink
ing American public no longer cares for
it's health or its life
Mr.. Dillon said that during the first
year of national prohibition only half
of the liquor bootlegged was syn
thetic, and that half had a base OF
pure grain alcohol. Last year q per
cent was. good.
Today. he said. "99 per cent of the
stuff is made from denatured alcohol,
much of il being extracted from hair
tonics and other medicaments intend
ed for external use only. 1t is either
redistilled denatured alcohol, diluted
with water, colored and favored, or
1t is a combination of this mess with
good whisky or green whisky"
The Governments chemist said his
conclusions were based upon 5000
samples.
