ON STOCK PLAGUE
Aids Texas Authorities in
Stemming Hoof-and.Mouth
Outbreak.

Prompt action by Federal and State
live stock officials has brought the
combined forces of the Bureau OF AMI
NAL Industry and the Live Stock San
itary Commission of Texas into con-
centrated drive to eradicate an out
break of the foot-and-mouthd disease
among cattle on a ranch in Harris
County. Tex. not far from Houston
DR.. John r. Mohler, chief of the Fed
eral Governments forces here. said
conditions in general are favorable
for the eradication work.
The disease, which had been under
observation of the State authorities,
was not definitely diagnosed as the
dread cattle scourge until yesterday.
Immediately a drastic quarantine was
thrown around the infected ranch and
those nearby, while a quarantine COW
ering Harris and Galveston Counties
and parts of Brazoria and Fort Bend
Counties was promptly put into effect.
The Texas officials willingly signed
a contract for cooperation with the
Federal authorities, as is necessary
before the Federal Government can
begin operations within any state.
Steam shovels worked all last night
preparing a trench for the infected
cattle when slaughtered. The usual
methods OF quarantine. inspection, ap-
which have resulted in the suppress
sion of other outbreaks. will be fol-
lowed.
DIR. lines Directs Work.
Direction of the Federal forces in
the work of eradication will be taken
by DR.. Marion lines, one of the bu-
reau's veterinarians of long expert
ence in foot-and-mouth disease con-
troll, who is now en- route to Houston.
Dr. l.. J. Allen, inspector in charge of
veterinary field work in Texas for the
Federal Government, and DR.. T. w.
Cole, his assistant, are working with
Chairman ]. Boog Scott "of the Live
Stock Sanitary Commission of Texas
and DR.. Leon Cloud. State veterina-
rian, who are on the ground.
Live stock authorities and sanitary
officials of the various States have
been notified by the Department of
Agriculture of the prevalence of the
disease in Texas. The new outbreak
is in no way connected with the in
fection which appeared in California
last Winter and which has been sup
pressed. officials of the Bureau of An
imal Industry stated yesterday.
Strong indications that the infection
entered surreptitiously from South
America through a Gulf port are
given in a preliminary survey of the
Texas situation.

NJ. DaeSchner, who comes from

post Of director of administrative and
technical affairs at the foreign Office.
NJ. Daeschner is 81 years old, taller

night leveled a revolver at the
head OF Raymond Smith. 23-year-

Yard. and pulled the trigger,
Smiths sailor companions shut
their eyes as the shot roared forth
on it's mission of murder.

amazement as they saw Sailor
Smith work his tongue around in

spit out two teeth and the still
warm bullet.
Almost disbelieving their own
eyes, the youths rushed Smith to
Emergency Hospital. where sur
