1 TREATMENT OF HOG CHOLERA SUGGESS Bureau Estimates Nearly Thirteen Thousand Animals Saved in Two Nebraska Counties. SLOAN SAYS INCREASE SERVICE WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. S—(8pecial from & Staff Correspondent)—Before leaving Washington for the hollday re- cess, Congressman Sloan submitted an inquiry to the Bureau of Animal In- dustry relative to the results and prog- regs achieved by the Investigation and eradication of hog cholera ahd demon- stration of best methods looking toward that end as carried out in Johnson and the north half of Gage counties. Dr. Melvin, chief of the burcau, directed that & reply be prepared, the body of which 15 as follows: In reply you are advised that the bur- eali began work in that district In the form of a survey, in the late fall of 1913 The actual treatment of herds, however, did not begin until March 31, 1914, The following table shows the num- ber of hogs raised and the number lost from cholera the last three years: Hogs.

LTI 0.8 The work of the bureau in nfected herds for 1914 and 1915, shows as fol- lows: Number of infected herds treated Number of hogs in Infected herds.. Number of hogs lost from cholera. cent of loss.. . The losses in these herds without (reat- | ment would have been 8 per cent or 13,913, instead of 1,650 (10 pef cent), in- dicating a saving of 12,254 hogs, which it 18 fair to estimate would have a mar- ket value of $10 per head or $122,54, The value of the experiment in pre- venting the apread of Infection to other herds, of eourse, caunnot be conveniently estimated. It appears, however, that this should be regarded as a great part of tife work as there have Uesn only seven outbreaks in the district since the first of. October, 1915, and appagently there are none at this time. g A. D. MELVIN, Chief of Bureau. Eongressman Sloan s quite gratified with the results of this United States government enterprise and believes that thie investigation pursued in this area, the methods developed and the results démonstrated will be of great vaiue to not only the area directly involved, but td the ice ralsers of Nebraska and adjoining states who will take adventage of the lessons to be drawn from this sovernment enterprise. The congressman is interested in this matter on account ot his large agricultural constituency and “w from the further fact that he led the fight before the committees and in the house for the intervention of the federal #Zovernment in diminkshing and as he hopes findlly eradicating hog cholera, per- haps the largest economic drain on the Nléfiflr RIO\T - producers in GITY IN MOURNING ~ FOR BISHOP TAKEN northwest, Y SUDDEN DEATH | | (Continued fcom Page One.) cHarge of the arrangements announce absolutely no flowers will be ac- led, either at the house, church or X P-n Names Successor, ‘Thers will be no new. bishop of Omaha wntll Pope Benedict:of Rome makes an itment, In the interim, Monaignor y of Omaha, chancellor of the church for this diocese has been ap- pointed by Archbishop Keans to adminis- ter the affairs of the dlocese. i RT.

Chief Joseph Wallace had men and eguipment ready to send froam the city, hut found it was ugeless to risk lives and property as long as the mob held the town. Scenes of the wildest dlsorder were everywhero enacted, and the fires 10 o'clock Wilson avenue, for the entlre Tength of the village, was in flames. Absolutely no attempt was belng made to extingulsh the flames or save the thous- ands dollars In property being carried away or destroyed.

A saloon that stood next to the bank was looted and fired and the flames, spreading to the bank, soon doomed the structure One Man s Killed. A dry goods store, néar Seventh street and Wilson avenue, shared a bullding with a saloon. The particular party of rioters who selected it made the mistake of attacking the dry the living quarters above the store and fired one shot trom his revolver.

Finally a dozen or more citizens, led by Oscar Diser, city #olicitor of Kast Youngstown and former member of the Ohlo legisiature, gathered at the police station and pleaded with the police and other city officials to attack the rloters.

They broke and ran, but finding no one had been killed, they turned and sent shots toward the posse. No one was hurt and the posse fired again, This time half a dozen or more floters went down and the mob tore down the street. The panic gathered strength, and scores of men, thelr pock- ets bulging with loot, stumbled over each other in a mad rush to get away. The posse followed closely and wherever possible chased the Tioters into side | streets, men being detached from among the citizens to round them up. In half an hour Wilson avenue had been almost cleared of the mob, but small squads | were scattered about the hillside. As fast as possible these men were driven by main force to the palce station and auto- moblles took-them to Youngstown. Some were taken to'the Mahoning county jeit and others to the city prison. Mundred Arvests Made. By 2 o'clock thia morming more than 100 had been rounded up and brought here, whig the lit{lé' police station in Bast Youngstown was filled to over- flowing.

There was still some work for them to do and water was thrown on the ruine the rest of the night, but the wreck wrought by the mob was almost com- plete. By daybreak the walls of many of the brick bulldings burned began to tter and fall and the principal streets were roped off and sightseers excluded. What became of the mob when it fled before the bullets of the posse has not yet been determined, although it s known that hundreds of men streamed along country roads leading out of Bast Youngstown, while many others made their way into Youngstown At daybremk the troop trains arrived and the military took the situstion in hand, ! YOUNGSTOWN, O., Jan, 8.—Answer- ing an appeal from eltisens of Struthers, General Speaks sent two companies of militia to the village for protection from rioting there. The message stated that & mob has formed and is engaged in.a general fight In the streets, men shoot- ing and beating each other up. ¢ Two hundred citizens of Struthers, across the Mahoning river, opposite Bast | Youngstown, armed themselves today| anfl massed at a bridge to repel a threat- | ened invasion of strikers.

Later reports sald that the situation at| Struthers was under control, but troops would be kept on duty there to prevent further trouble General Speaks and Lieutenant Colonel Weybrecht, related today how they were fired upon last night by strike sym- | pathizers in East Youngstown. “We were just Deyond the bridge lead- | ing into the plant where the first shots | were fired” mald Colonel Weybrecht, “IJ noticed rioters aiming thelr guns in our | direction and suggested to Genera Speaks that we move over a littla. ‘Oh, no, sald Speaks. ‘Let's take it all in,’'| and we did. We came néar taking in all the bullets in the neighborhood, for just | them fhe strikers were fired upon by the | guards and they returned the fire.” Neither officer was armed at the time. They had gone to the scene in civillan clothes to make a survey of the situation. Senate Committee Reports Favorably On Suffrage Motion WASHINGION, D. C., Jan. 8.—The | for woman suffrage was reported favor- ably today. to thé senate by the suffrage committee. “In our opinion every principle upon which universal manhood suffrage rests demands the’ extension of its priviliges and responsibilities to women,? sald the report. “They are subject to the laws, are taxed for the support of government and subject with men to a common politi- cal destiny.” 4 After pointing out that the government of the United States is ope of the dele- gated powers, the report says: “Manhood suffrage hay bBeen from time to timé extended. Every enlargement of the franehise has 'begn a natural and, logical development the principle of popular sovereignty. . We may assume that universal male suffrage is an estabe lished factor in our system of govern- ment. “Women,” says the report, ‘‘comprise 5 per cent of our population. They are citisens in all other respects. Together with the men they constitute the peo- ple. In patriotism, devotion to welfare of the government and in capacity for fran- chise they are In no wise inferior to men. “Nelther logically nor justly, therefore, can unlimiteq suffrage be recognized as an essential to our republican form of government and its existence at the same time be limited to one-half of the people, arbitrarily segregated from the other half i by the difference of sex. ““Women's activities, her participation, her. sacrifices and her misfortunes in the great conflict now raging over three con- tinents, have for all time disposed of the contention that she should not be armed with the ballot hecause she cannot wield the sword." The report was signed by Senators Thomas, Owen and Hollis, democrats, and Sutherland, Clapp and Jones, republicans. Senator Ransdell, democrat, voted for the report, but his name did not appear on it. Senutor Catron, republican of New Mexico, dissented and Senator Johnson, democrat of South Dakota, did not sign the report.
