Of hog cholera during the fiscal year
ended June 80 is regarded by veterin-
airy experts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture as occasion
for extreme watchfulness. Deaths

kept Experience shows that hog
cholera has prevailed at periodical in
tervals and charts based on past rec

of the effectiveness of previous use Of

experience in combating hog cholera,
the large proportion of swine that
have not been immunized against
cholera and therefore are susceptible
to it Should the disease begin to
spread heavy losses are to be expect
ed before outbreaks could be brought
under control Extreme watchful-
ness therefore is urged in dealing
with this highly. infectious maids, and
in localities where outbreaks occur
the preventive treatment should he
given promptly to all susceptible
hogs.

BITS OF STATE HISTORY
By E. f. Meredith

The first song about the Civil War
was written by "Black Ike" an aged
negro of Barbour county, according
to j w. Beavers of Grafton, who re-
calls Andrew so known, who was a
slave of the Millers of Barbour coun-
ty, when the Indiana troops came to
Fetterman and camped there and
then marched up into the Philippi and
Belington country. Here is part of
the song:
In eighteen hundred and sixty-one,
On June the fourth, the war begun;
The Indiana boys had come
With stars and stripes and fife and
drum
The ladies came from far and near
To see the Union men appear,
They waved their hands and gave a
cheer,
"Hurrah, Boys, we have no fear"
We took up the march to Philippi,
A longing for the strife;
To live on bread and bacon
For three years of our life.
When we reached Philippi
The rain and torrents tore around,
While we were made uneasy
When cannon balls tore the ground
But when the Yanks came into sight,
The enemy, it took to flight;
To Belington to make stand,
Until the Yanks there would land
(In olden days bacon was not view
ed as luxury but as the commonest
sort of meat.

The depositors in the Bank of Ben
wood will receive eight to ten per
cent of their funds. The liabilities
of the defunct institution amount to
$735, 1000 The assets amount to
100000. This recalls the terrible af-
fair at Grafton and the breaking up
or manipulating of a take-over of the
old First National Bank at Fairmont
and the collapse Of another banking
institution at Fairmont And, for
that matter, there have been many
other bank fzzles in West Virginia
1t is shame and disgrace The
depositors in banks in West Virginia
ought to be secured from losses Of
this kind To undermine the conf
dence of the people in banks is to in
jure community There are now
rumors cxtant that the books Of the
Benwood bank were not examined
regularly as compelled by the state
banking laws, says Wheeling paper,
which is near the scene, and ought to
know something about what has hap
pened.

Activities Will Be Directed
Against Supply Sources,
Fenning Explains.
CAMPAIGN TO BE BIGGEST
EVER STAGED IN DISTRICT
Setting of Invisible Gordon to
'Starve Out" Runners Is Ex-
pected First Step.

Under cover of utmost secrecy, the
Police Department today launched a
new and intensive drive to enforce
prohibition in the National Capital.
Detailed plans are being withheld by
Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning,
in personal charge of the campaign.
The mysterious move to mop" up
the wet spots OF Washington was un-
derstood, however, to center on the
channels of supply.
If we can cut off the supply of
liquor we have virtually won the bat
tie" the Commissioner explained sig
nif1cantly.
Disclosure of the opening of the new
dry war came on the heels of a series
of conferences held today by Commits
sioner Fenning with police officials,
including Acting Supt. of Police
Evans.
The latest campaign, 1t was in
dicated, is to be the most pretentious
of any ever conducted here since the
enactment of the prohibition law. 1t
will undoubtedly embrace not only the
rum runners" responsible for bring
ing the liquor into the District, but
will ferret out and endeavor TO break
up the entire system of distribution
which has been built up here by an
efficient bootlegging organization.
Proceedings Secret.
Where the first blow would fall re-
mained carefully guarded secret this
afternoon. In fact there was no as
surance that any step further than
preliminary investigation Of the situa-
ton and nlarshaling of the prohibi
ton forces would be taken today.
The commissioner, it is understood
will confer personally with the police
vested with special prohibition en-
forcement powers and work out with
them the program of attack"
These officers, attached to the
municipal police department., have au-
thority to chase liquor offenders out
of this jurisdiction-a valuable asset
in a drive such as began today.
Probably one of the first moves on
the part of Commissioner Fenning's S
forces will be to lay down an in
visible but alert Gordon around the
limits of the District. In this way
the rum runner is expected TO be ap-
pretended before he has a chance
to get rid of his supply. A compre-
hensive Starving out" process con-
Quoted in this way should effectually
ruin the pocket bootlegging business
in Washington, it is believed.

LANGLEY PLANE FIRST CAPABLE
OF FLYING, SAYS AIR EXPERT
Backs DR.. WaIcott in Dispute With Wright-Says
Latter's Machine, Though First to Succeed,
Was Wrong AerodyndmicdIly.

"One hates to be rude to the first
man who ever flew, but one can only
characterize Mr.. Orville Wright's re-
moval of his machine from America
as a piece of childish spite. Of course
good many people in this country
who set store by relics and so forth
will be quite pleased to go to South
kensington and see the first aero
plane which ever flew. But the in
terest of the machine is purely senti-
mental and it has no educationa
value whatever, for the good reason
that students of aviation who want
to know exactly how an aeroplane
ought not to be designed or built can
learn quite as much by looking at
the photographs and models of the
same machine which have existed in
this country for years"
Personally" concludes Mr.. Grey,
lone cannot help thinking that Mr.
Orville Wright would have earned the
respect of his countrymen far more
if he had been able to get away from
the atmosphere of Dayton, Ohio, and
had swallowed his little provincial
pride and had forgotten his pre-war
quarrel with the Smithsonian In
sti ute and had sent his ancient relics
toSrepose in the museum of his coun-
tryss Capital"

MOTIVE IS SOUGHT
IN YOUNG MURDER
Police Searching for Will
Slain Woman Is Said to
Have Made.
By the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, June 15.-Con-
of evidence to prove that DIR. Thomas
Young, Los Angeles dentist. killed his
wife, Grace Grogan Young. widow of
the late Patrick Grogan, known dur
ing his lifetime as the Olive King"
independent of Young's confession,
representatives of the district attor-
neys office concerned themselves to-
day with establishing a motive.
The first object of their search was
a will which they had been informed
Charles Patrick Grcgan, 1Syear old
son of the slain woman, had made in
favor of Young within the last forth
night at the request of Young. Young
Grogan, who was the principal heir
to his fathers estate. had continued
to live with his stepfather up to the
moment he learned the latter had
confessed to killing his mother and
contriving to have the son unwittingly
aid in sealing the body up in a cistern.
Young has insisted he killed his
wife by administering an anesthetic
because of resentment over the fact
that she insisted from the day of their
marriage on being the boss in their
home and that she had slapped him
in the face during a quarrel in
cafe.
What investigators regarded as the
last link in their chain of evidence
connecting Young with the killing was
the finding yesterday near the scene
of the Staying of a rubber cone which
Young said he used in administering
the anesthetic.
The possibility that Young had an
accomplice to aid him in concealing
the Staying and supporting his story
that Mrs. Young had voluntarily dis
appeared after a quarrel on the night
of February 21, last, was also under
consideration by the investigators.
According to relatives of Mrs. Young,
the son continued to receive letters
which he believed to be from his
mother up to within the last few
days. These letters were from New
York the relatives said
