30,000 HORSES DIE FROMNEW MALADY Encephalomyelitis Damage $2,250,000 in U. S., Au- thorities Estimate. By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, October 1.— Encephalomyelitis—-an equine disease almost unknown before 1930—has killed at least 30,000 American horses worth more than $2,250,000, agricul- tural authorities estimated last night. Dr. W. H. Hendricks, who, as veterinarian in one of the most heavily affected States—Utah—has made a first-hand study of the dis- ease, described it as a “major Ameri- can farm problem.” Horse Shortage Problem. “Since the arrival of the automo- bile our horse population has at best been inadequate,” he said. “If encephalomyelitis continues the in- roads of the last six months the horse shortage will become serious— not to mention the terrific cost to farmers.” So little is known of the baffling disease, sometimes inaccurately called brain-fever or sleeping-sickness, that efforts to fight it have been largely futile, he added. “We know definitely the disease ean be and is spread by mosquitoes. | We also suspect horseflies and other nsects of being cartiers. Humans Are Infected. “An even more serious aspect arises | from the fact that in at least three cases, on the Pacific Coast, the dis- ease was spread by mosquitoes to human beings, with one knowni’ fatality resulting.” The disease, first stupefying and then paralyzing its victim, has a course of from three days to two weeks, and occurs from June until November, Dr. Hendricks said. About 60 per cent of the cases recover, but recovery often is not complete. | First appearing in California in 1930 and 1931, it spread rapidly and In 1933 killed 4,000 horses in Utah alone. PREVENTIVE SERUM TESTED. —_— | Virginia Experiment Gives Hope nf‘ Checking Malady. RICHMOND, Va. October 1 (P\.—| Virginia State agricultural and \l‘l?r-; fnary officials think they are on the track of a preventive serum to halt| the ravages of encephalomyelitis, a brain disease attacking horses and mules. The results of an experiment with | the new preventive were announced | here by George W. Koiner, State | Commissioner of Agriculture. He said | a “control group” of 500 animals in the infected Northern Neck district of the State were innoculated in May and June by Dr. H. C. Givers, State veterinarian. They all have remained free of the disease, although 24 horses in the same area, not included in the innoculated group, have died of the malady since mid-August. The vaccine used by the State, Koiner said, was developed from the brain tissues of animals suffering from the disease. GOVERNMENT DEAL FOR MAYFAIR LAGS Year's Negotiations With Owners of Apartments So Far With- out Agreement. Although negotiations between the Government and the owners of the | Mayfair Apartments, an eight-story brick building at 2115 C street, have been in progress for more than a year there has yet been no agreement {or’ purchase of the building by the Gov- ernment, it was learned today. Speculation over the future of '.hel building arose when it was learned that the Government planned eventually to acquire it, by purchase or lease, to ac- commodate the Washington Headquar- | ters Company, now gquartered in a temporary building at Eighteenth street and Virginia avenue, south of the new Interior Building Annex. Sec- retary Ickes is known to be anxious | to have this temporary building re- moved, the soldiers sent to new quar- ters and the site converted to park use. Negotiations for purchase of the Mayfair Building are apparently being held up over failure to agree on a purchase price. When the Govern- ment purchases or acquires such a building, it was said, adequate notice to vacate is given the occupants.
