N RUN DOWN CHASE CASE Indications are that the rumored in- fection of Nebraska cattle in Chase county reported by Kansas City stock yards officials late Saturday evening are unfounded. Dr. Miller, represen- tative of the local veterinarian forces, after a hurried trip to the location of the accused cattle, wired in to his chief, Dr. H. Busman, head of the veterinarian forces here, that it was unlikely that the situation would de- velop any seriousness in regard to Nebraska cattle. . Chicago ofiicials placed a quaran- tine against cattle coming from Kan- sas, Nebraska and Sioux City this morning. This was done merely as a precaution until definite facts should have become known. Buckingham Hopeful. “It is very unlikely that the situa- tion will develop a serious,nature so far as Nebraska is concerned,” Gen- eral Manager Buckingham of the local yards said Monday morning. “I understand Washington officials are now on their way to Kansas City to investigate thoroughly - the cattle in question and make a complete report. _“For the present we have done nothing in the way of placing embar- goes, etc. All cattle that come from the south are being closely watched.” Taking Precautions, Washington, -Nov. 27.—It will be several days before federal experts can determine whether cattle held at Kansas City have foot and mouth dis- ease, said a Department of Agricul- ture statement issued ‘late today, In- oculationtests are being made at Kan- sas City and here. The department’s advices covered only one suspected case of the disease, a shipment of cattle from Wauneta, Nebs, to Kansas City, via St. Joseph, Mo. Reports of local quarantines im- posed in cities of the middle west drew from the department this state- ment. Order of Government. Washington, Nov. 27.—(Special Telegram.)—The _Departrhient of Agriculture today issued the follow- ing statement regarding suspected ex- istence of foot ahd mouth disease in certain cattle received at Kansas| ity. “On the 21st instant there were re- ceived at Kansas City stock yards 130 cattle shipped from Wauneta, Neb., un oadex and fed at St. Joseph on the 20th. Part of these cattle showed lesions in the mouth, strongly resembling _foot and mouth disease. Fifty-seven were slaughtered. Twenty had been shipped.to Tescott, Kan,’ held under Al yards pens. An ‘inspection of the animals on the farm at Wauneta showed a large number of horses affected with mouth lesions, but 700 hogs showing no lesions, “No foot lesions have been found in any of the animals.

Inspectors at St. Joseph and Kansas City report all outgoing shipments from those yards stopped. . “Inoculation tests are being made at Kansas City and at the depart- ment here. It undoubtedly will re- quire several days before “diagnosis can be arrived at.” Offiicials Concerned. Officials plainly were concerned over the reports and hopgd the tests would show the disease to be some malady that might easily be stamped out. It was only last March that the government declared the country free of the foot and mouth scourge after an epidemic that had lasted for many mogghs and had cost the federal and state goyernments millions of dollars. The disease then spread over twenty- two states. Hundreds of thousands of head of live stock were killed and shipping restrictions upset market conditions to a great extent. Put on Local Quarantine, Lincoln, Neb,, Nov. 27.—State Vet- erinarian Anderson late today re- ceived a telegram from Dr. Melvin, chief of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, asking him toestab- | lish a quarantine of the J. R. Robert- son ranch, near Wauneta, Chase coun- ty. It was from this ranch that cattle were sent to Kansas City, where they showed signs of having the foot and mouth dsease. The stock yards at .| Wauneta are also to be quarantined and disinfected. The order is said to be purely precautionary, and does not mean that it has been definitely de- cided that there is foot and mouth dis- ease at Wauneta, According to State Veterinarian Anderson, frequent reports have come tochis office of the disease in the state, but examination always revealed the trouble to be some simple malady. The Colorado state veterinarian to- day notified Nebraska officials of the embargo established in that ‘state against Nebraska cattle. Illinois Yards Partly Closed.

NOTE IS SENT TO PAGE Activities of Teuton Diplomats Alleged in Excess of Their Functions, INEW CONTROVERSY ARISING London, Nov. 27.—The foreign of- fice has sent Ambassador Page a note definitely refusing to grant a safe con- duct to Count Adam Tarnowski von Tarnow, the new Austro-Hungarian ambassador to the United States. The reason fpr the refusal may be paraphrased as follows: “Even if international law forbade the refusal of such a safe conduct the actions of the Austrian and German embassies and consulates abroad have been so much in excess of regular diplomatic functions that the British government feels justified in with- holding its consent for such diplomats to travel to their posts. New Controversy Arising. Washington, Nov. 27.—Another controversy between the American government and the entente Allies is in prospect as a result of the refusal of the British government to grant safe conduct to Count Tarnowski, the newly-appointed Austro-Hungarian ambassador to the United States. In the absence of official advices on the subject officials of the State de- partmént were not in a position today to discuss it formally or to forecast the course the government is likely to pursue, It was made evident, however, that the unfavorable action of the British foreign office on the notice of the intention of the new ambassador to cross the Atlantic to his post came as an unpleasant surprise. It had not been doubted here that Great Britain would be the last power to deny the privileged character of a diplomatic officerfon-such a voyage. Attitude in Mason and Slidell Case. Aside from the belief that England would not desire to afouse adverse feeling in the United States by inter= ference with the ancient and generally unquestioned right of a neutral gov- ernment to receive an ambassador or minister, officials had counted upon Great Britain’s record in the Mason and Slidell case to prevent such an action as reported in today’s cable SENATOR RANCIS WL ANDS.

Supported by Its Allies. It probably will be on that basis that the matter of Count Tarnowski's interrupted mission will.be taken up with the allies, for it is well under- stood that the London foreign office is supported by France, Italy and Russia in its action. It was learned today that the State department so far has not made a formal request for a safe conduct for the Austrian ambassador, but has confined itself to a transmissien of the request of the American government for such a courtesy. Therefore, it is probable thdt if the issue is to be made it will be necessary for the Unjted States now'to make such re- quest on its own account. There is an absence of any prece- dent exactly fitting this case that re- quires the department to be very care- ful in assuming ground, and the text of the note handed Ambassador Page will be awaited before a detision as to the course to be followed is reached. Great Britain’s attitudg, if adhered to would prevent a new Turkish am- bassador and successors to” Captains Boy-Ed and Von Papen, former naval, and ‘military attaches of the German embassy, from reaching the United States. Negotiations regarding a new Turk- ish ambassador are said to have been under way for some time. It is under- stood, however, that the German gov- ernment has no intention at this time of sending new naval and military at- taches, because of the belief that upon their arrival in this country ~they would become subjects of suspicion and investigation.
