COMES TO CAUCUS’ DEFENSE Democratic Party Counsel Defended i by Senator Newlands. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—A vigorous defense of the Democratic caucus as the only method of carrying party promises into effect marked the open- ing of the currency debate in the sen- ate. Replying to the severe arraignment . of the caucus made by Senator Hitch- oock, who differs from his Democratic associates on currency legislation, Sepator Newlands declared the cau- cus was the instrument by which “administration measures represent- ing the results of the party counsel, could be made effective.” RIVAL GANGS FIGHT (BATTLE IN STREETS One Faction Uses Trolley Car : as a Barricade, New York, Dec. 13.—Fifty shots were fired near the Fourth avenue en- trance of Madison Square Garden in a conflict between two gangs that infested the garden during the six-day bicycle race. A Madison avenue street car was commandeered by one element as a barricade, while bullets whistled in all directions. Passengers threw themselves face downward on the floor. The police were prompt in reaching the scene, but the combatants jumped into auto- mobiles and escaped. So far as is known no one was hurt, a remarkable fact in view of the promiscuous shooting. It is said that the trouble started in a row over the right of rival leaders to furnish “strong arm” men for special, police work in the garden. o+ - RO S R T CHICKENS WORTH $200 A ~ POUND EXHIBITED.

Calumet, Mich.,, Dec. 13.—Strikers were urged to surrender their fire- arms by Circuit Judge O’Brien, Sheriff Cruse and Assistant Prosecutor Nich- ols, who visited the headquarters of the Western Federation of Miners. Judge O’Brien counseled the fullest observance of the injunction restrain- ing strikers from interfering with workmen. All strikers present prom- ised to obey and President Moyer agreed to do his utmost to keep the strikers out of trouble. Deputy Timothy Driscoll, who was shot in a raid on Federation hall, is in a serious condition. The striker who shot him confessed, officials said. PATIENTS ARE CARRIED OUT Fortytwo Removed From Hospital While Fire Rages. Hartford, Conn., Dec. 13.—Forty- two patients in the Hartford hospital were hurriedly carried out of one of the wards while a fire raged below them in the cellar. The electricity failed soon after the fire, started and there was a panic for a time, but the coolness of the nurses soon calmed the inmates. The fire caused slight damage. SOMETIMES WIPES - 0UT WHOLE FLOCK Blackhiead in Turkeys Common |ee Disease in Minnesota, ANIMAL PARASITE THE CAUS By L. E. WILLEY, University Farm, St. Paul. Blackhead in turkeys is a common disease in Minnesota, its ravages de- stroying whole flocks in a season. The cause of this disease is an ani- mal parasite of microscopic size which is found in the intestines and liver of diseased turkeys; though but rarely in chickens. The spread of the disease is brought about by the escape of the —_— _— BLACKHEAD IN TURKEYS. - Note A and B, which appear as white spots from the size of a dime to a half dollar. _ parasite from the liver and from ul- cers in the intestines. Water and food become, contaminated and con- vey the disease to other birds. Postmortem examinations show the liver enlarged and with white spots on the surface which vary in size, some being no larger than the head of a pin, while Some are one-third the size of the whole organ. The disease is common in turkeys of all ages. When affected the bird is dull in appearance, its wings droop and it sits around most of the time. Diarrhea is a common symptom. The head turns dark purple after death, from which fact the disease gets its name. Medical treatment for birds show- ing symptoms of the disease is dis- appointing. Disinfection of houses, yards and watering troughs will help to control the disease and prevent its spread if properly carried out. ‘Whenever possible move the yards, at least .temporarily. Ground once infected may remain so for several months or years and new stock- in- troduced without - precautions are pretty sure to contract the disease. Intestinal antiseptics in the drink- ing water have been reported as a valuable . course of treatment. Sul- phocarbolates and potassium perman- ganate in small quantities in the drinking water have been used by some with partial success. These sulphocarbolates can be purchased in thirty-grain tablets which may be dissolved in one quart of water and administered either as a drink or by mixing a soft mash with the liquid. In addition, sick birds should receive such ncurishing foods as milk and eggs. | To insure agzinst loss the safest courge to pursue once the disease has shown its presence in any flock is to remove what turkeys you intend to keep _for breeders to an entirely dif- ferent range and market all the re- maining healthy specimens. PROFIT IN WHEAT GROWING Consumption of Bread Continually on the, Increase. ‘Wheat growing has been on the de- cline in the Northern states for some years, owing to plant. diseases and insect pests, and also to the fact that Iive stock raising nas been increased and that some of the land has been required for this purpose. The con- sumption of bread made from wheat flour is continually on the increase, however, and the indications point strongly toward the possibility of NYMORE SCHOOLS‘CLOSED Scarlet Fever Epidemic Feared And Students Dismissed Thursday Fearing that a scarlet fever epi- mic would’ result = if the public schools of Nymore were not closed for. the time being, the _students were dismissed last Thursday so that the buildings could be thoroughly fumigated and cleaned. One case of fever is the only one that has been reported recently in Nymore but as the patient was a student in the schools of the village the extra pre- cautions are taken. KELLER TELLS OF CHRISTMAS FIRE DANGER (Continued from Page 1.) son. The interest taken by the pub- lic in its observance is commendable, but every Christmas records many fires costing hundreds of lives and thousands of dollars, worth of. pro- perty, which could have been saved had proper care been used. Wherever possible electric lights installed by a competent electrician should be used for the tree illuminating. Cotton is the most common material used for tree decorating, It is also the most inflammable and should never 'be tolerated. There is a substance call- ] |ed mineral wool, made of asbestos, which gives a better effect and will not burn. Santa Claus’ wearing ap- parell makes him a human torch un- less his outfit is dipped in a solution of alum, which will make it practi- cally fireproof. If the people of Minnesota fully ap- preciate the dangers to which their families are subjected at this season they would give the fire marshall every possible co-operation in carry- ing out suggestions made ‘to minim- ize this danger. Christmas dangers are all advoid- able, and carelessness has no excuse, especially where the lives of children might be endangered. This is thefr day and they should be emabled to enjoy it in perfect safety. NAVAL HOLIDAY IS DENOUNCED Proposal Ridiculed by Navy League of United States, ALL IN ENGLAND'S FAVOR That Country Is Now Supreme on the Seas and Would Remain So as Long as the “Holiday™ Lasted—Germény and Russia Would Never Consent to Agreement. Washington, Dec. 13.—“Absolute futility of the naval holiday idea,” says a statement issued by the Navy League of the.United States, “is evi- dent to all students of international affairs and is slowly dawning on the public in general. The position of certain European countries with ref- erence to any mave toward limiting armament will cause all such pro- nouncements to fall flat.” . The league points out that Germany in particular ridicules the idea of. fol- lowing such a move made by Great Britain at this, time. Britain is now supreme on the seas and a holiday of any length would leave her supreme for just that time. Other nations are making strenuous efforts to gain upon her strength and those gains would be held back just as long as the holi- day lasted, says the statement. Russia, for instance, has not a single dreadnought completed, but she has eleven in course of construction. She is anxious to get into the big ship game. She scouts the idea of stop- ping work on those dreadnoughts. Her position is further shown by her fail- ure to take any step toward the call- ing of The Hague peace conference, which was screduled for 1915, for which preparations should now be go- ing forward. Americans, the Navy league’s state- ment says, have some difficulty in get- profits from wheat when grown in combination with other crops or in rolations. Yields \of ‘twenty-five or thirty-five bushels per acre of spring wheat have been obtained where a good rotation has been followed and where proper conditions for wheat growing have been maintained. Wheat does not deplete the soil fertility more than other grain crops and the profit from growing the crop is greater on the average than from most of the other cereals. Where good seed is sown and the land is properly prepared there is no reason why a crop of -wheat once in four or five years_cannot be very well fitted in to the farming scheme. Farmers will do well to pay attention to proper conditions for wheat growing and will find good profits from the wheat crop in most years; if the land is In condition to yield twenty-five to thir- ty-five bushels per acre. — Andrew Boss. University Farm, St. Paul. ting the European”view of all these + raeasures looking to reduction of arm- ament or international peace. ‘Europe refused to allow even a con- sideration -of reduction of armament at the last Hague conference and Ger- many and Russia would have with- drawn from that conference if the question had been insisted upon, the league declares. X Since the Balkan war both these na- tions are materially increasing their armed forces. MONA LISA IS RECOVERED Famous Painting Found and the Thief Arrested.
