INFECTED CATTLE
IN DELAWARE HERD
Live Stock Epidemic Now in
Twelve States No Evi
dence of Disease in West
Philadelphia Yards.
The foot and mouth disease lias broken
out among cattlo In Delaware, the 12th
State to 1)0 nffeoted by the epidemic. A
number of cases were discovered at New
Cnstte by United States Inspector
Sohaufler In a herd being fattened for
laughter, according; to an announcement
this morning. The cattle and pens havo
been disinfected, and should the outbreak
become serious the sick cattlo will bo
slaughtered. It Is expected Delaware
will be added to the list of 11 States
now under Federal quarantine.
Cattlo at Russellsvllle, Chester County,
have been found with the symptoms, and
moro than 400 head of cattlo will bo de
stroyed In the Lancaster stockyards.
No cases of the disease have been
found among the 1800 cattlo and sheep
quarantined In the West Philadelphia
stockyards, although 31 Western hogs
suspected of having had tho disease were
killed yesterday under tho direction of
Superintendent Jamos Latta, and their
pens were soaked with disinfectants.
Nino hundred head of cattle wero Bhlpped
Into Philadelphia from Lancaster thts
morning for Immediate slaughter, the
animals having been Inspected and found
freo from Infection.
"I want to say emphatically, that there
aro no traces of the disease among the
cattle In the West Philadelphia stock
yards." said Inspector Schaufler this
morning. "Only the hogs were affected.
Slaughter of Infected cattlo for uso as
meat will be prohibited."
Every effort is being taken to prevent
tho disease from getting a foothold in
Philadelphia, and even visitors who entor
tho stockyards aro being fumigated be
fore being allowed to leave.
HTRATE ADD NEW LEAD Quarantine
Tho shipment of thla live stock from
Philadelphia is prohibited, but consign
ments of cnttlc aro coming In as usual
from districts freo from, the epidemic.
Slaughtering Is going on normally, said
Inspector Schaufler, but tho moment tho
disease appears among the cattle It will
ceaso.
Thore Is sufllclent cattle in the yards
tp supply Philadelphia with meat for
threa -Weeks, according to Thomas B.
Shriver, president of the West Philadel
phia Stockyards Company. Tho quar
antined animals are closely watched for
traces of the disease, although they did
not como in contact with the suspected
hogs.
'Tho price of beof will go up. Is the
general opinion among meat dealers,
unless the disease 1b promptly checked.
Sufficient meat is in cold storage and on
tho hoof In the stockyards to supply the
demand for some time, and whatever
raise in price occurs will not come Im
mediately; but Bhould the epidemic spread
to the remaining sources of cattle ship
ment, the supply on hand will be ex
hausted and the price will Increase
accordingly, dealers say
Owners of blooded cnttle In Montgom
ery, Bucks and Philadelphia Counties are
aroused over tho report that the disease
lias gained a foothold In 13 counties of
the State. Three of the counties named
contain a dozen farns where prize-winning
herds, worth nt lepst a "larter of a.
million dollars, graze. The owners and
managers of tho estates are isolating
their herds, and aro not allowing them to
cross the trails of other animals.
U. S. HALTS SHIPMENT
OF CATTLE FROM' CANADA
-Quarantine Increased to Prevent
Spread of Xiive Stock Epidemic.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Quarantine of
New Jersey and acalnst the Dominion of
Canada, prohibiting the shipment of cat
tle, was ordered today by the Department
pt Agriculture.
The quarantine against Canada, It was
made clear, was not put Into effect be
' cause of the prevalence of the disease
"there, but purely as a precautionary
measure. Heavy shipments of cattle,
straw and fodder Into Canada from tho
' restricted area on this side of the border
-were made befoie the extent of the dis
ease was discovered. The quarantine Is
to prevent any cases coming back Into
the United States, should such develop.
Secretary Houston also was prepared to
sign orders for the quarantining of Dela
ware and Khodo Island because of the
appearance of the epidemic there.
The proximity of the New England
dairying sections to the large cities, It
was indicated, would increase the rigor of
the quarantine. The Government Is seek
ing to prevent the transmission of the
disease to humans. In the case of young
children the consumption of milk from
diseased cows might result In heavy In
tent mortality.
DAIRY CATTLE INFECTED

been received Into this State from New
fork suffering from the foot and mouth
disease, the State Board of Health to

MAYOIt'S ADDRESS OP WELCOME
Mayor Blankenburg, on behalf of the
city, delivered the address of welcome to
the convention. Mr. Blankenburg elicited
great applause and enthusiasm by tho
warmth and sincerity of his remarks.
Mr. Blankenburg said:
"Let mo extend to you as Chief Magis
trate of Philadelphia a most hearty wel
come to what we love to call tho City
of Brotherly Love. Wo feel highly hon
ored to havo your national convention In
this city. Tho first organized govern
ment of this country had Its birth in Phil
adelphia. This Government has now
endured for moro than 130 years. And It
has endured because It has been built
upon the principles of Justice to all, and
It will endure only so long as It will con
tinue to rxlst upon tho basis of Justico
to all.
"I take It that your organization Is built
upon that same foundation. I have always
been a believer In organization, and I
know that your organization, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, Is trying to
uplift tho conditions of labor In this
country, nnd I know that organized labor
will noer permit anything to occur that
will undermine tho foundation of this
Republic
"You are In no mean city. Philadelphia
Is tho mother city of this Republic. You
are one of the greatest forces working
.i i natloni11 welfnro and national
well-being of this country. When I think
of tho 2,000,000 workers under your ban
ners I reallzo It Is In your power to mako
this country better thnn It Is toda.
"You are a great army, n great army
of peace. Compare your army with the
armies of war In Kurope and you will
realize that your nrmv of peaco will en
duro and its work will enduro long after
all armlos of war have gone
"It behooves us all to dedicate our
selves to the welfare of our great nation.
Let us all consecrate ourselves to this
mission."
The Mayor then cautioned the conven
tion against any participation on the part
of organized labor in politics He spoke
of the work accomplished by him. as
Chief Executive of Philadelphia, of tho
divorce of politics from City Hall, and
said that organized labor will Buccoed In
so far as It keeps to its own particular
mission of uplifting the llfo of labor.
"And now," concluded Mr. Blanken
burg. addressing President Gompers, "let
me hand you the key to our city. It is
not tho physical key to the city exactly,
but It Is the key which has opened the
hearts of tho people of Philadelphia to
the great American Federation of Labor."
The Mayor then added that tho City
Hall will be illuminated every night
during the two weeks the convention
will be In session.
RECEPTION PLEASES DELEGATES.
Tho Mayor's address was received with
a loud outburst of applause. In reply
to tho Mayor, Mr. Gompers said:
"On behalf of the American Federation
of Labor let mo express to you, Mr.
Mayor, our deep appreciation of not only
your welcome to this great city, but of
more than the formal Invitation, the
manner, tho cordiality, the deep senti
ment expressed by you and of that which
every delegate and visitor to this con
vention not only learned from your most
eloquent address, but also saw In the
light which nlled your eyes and the
geniality of your manner.
"Your address of welcome was moro
than the performance of a perfunctory
duty.
"Let me say td you that we have been
deeply Impressed with what you have
said and the splendid manner In which
you said It. This Is the third time the
American Federation of Labor met In this
city. In Donaldson Hall, Broad and Filbert
streets; In Independence Hall, the cradle
of American liberty, and now, In 19H, In
Horticultural Hall.
"The mission of the American Federa
tion of Labor Is to translate tho principle
of the right of every man to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness into reality.
"The key which you presented to mo,
Mr. Mayor." concluded Mr. Gompers,
"and, through me, to all the delegates,
will be fully appreciated, nnd you may
rest assured that you will have no cause
to regret that this great hone has been
done us. Wherever we have met we have
alwaya been Judged by our acts and con
duct. And there Is no place where we
would not again be welcome. On behalf of
the American Federation or Labor I thank
you for your cordial plea for tho right and
Justice."
In declaring the convention open Mr,
Gompers said:
"Ours is a great struggle for social
Justice. We therefore Invite both friend
and foe to our convention. The great
number of men and women wo represent
precludes all possibility of holding our
convention under closed doors- In all
great struggles for the uplift of hu
manity there has always been a degree
of roughness. Thank God, humanity for
gets this roughness Incidental to the great
achievements for humanity.
"So wa may rest content upon the
understanding that the time will come
when our movement will bo best under
stood and better appreciated."
Mr. Gompers then paid a tribute to the
late P, J. McOulre. of Philadelphia, one
of the organizers of the American Federa
tion of Labor.
CREDENTIALS CAUSE TILT.
The report of the Committee on Cre
dentials was received after a. short tilt
on the floor of the convention between
the two faetlons favoring and opposing
the seating of tho delegates representing
tho faction of tho United Garment Work
ers of America, which seceded from the
organization at the recent convention in
Noshyillo, Tenn.
The committee recommended that only
the delegate representing the bonaflde
organization holding a charter from the
A. F. of L, be seated. These delegates,
led by Thomas A. Rlckert and Bernard
A, Larger, president and seoretary, re
pecUvely, were seated after a motion
by Alexander Schleslnger. of New York,
that the other faction, Jed by Sidney
HlUman and Joseph Schlossberg. be
heard. The motion was lost after a

SIDELIGHTS ON 'LABOR'S-
ANNUAL CONCLAVE
Cordiality Is Keynote of Delegates' Greetings Head of
Hod Carriers' Union Honored by King of Italy.
Gompers a Real Leaden
Quite apart fiom the sterner business
of tho convention of tho American Feder
ation of Labor, the nssemblago presents
aspects of cordiality not unllko nn "Old
Homo Week," or a family reunion. Little
knots of delegates detach thcmgelvei
from tho bustlo and gather apart with
business of much handshaking and
sundry "Well, well, Bill, you're Ictoklng
nne."
v'How are things on the Coast?" "Why
I haven't seen you for a dog's age," or
"Is the missus along?" Nor does the
conversation run solely to the more sober
relationships, ns tho hearty outbursts of
laughter testify. When men have not
seen each other for a whole year thero Is
much to be sold, and the delegates do not
appear to be neglecting each golden op
portunity. Tho chief figure In tho convention nnd
In the lobby of tho Hotel Walton Uicro
the headquarters aro located Is Samuel
Gompers, president of tho Federation.
Slight In staturo, with thick lonsed
glnescs and bushy hair that Is turning
gra he Is the "livest" member In tho
latgo body of "live" inon gathered hero.
Ho knows every one and ovrry one
knows him by his first nam-, too Ho
Is everywhere And, In spite of his G4
jrars, he Is younger In action than many
men half his age. Furthermore he Is
liked by tho greater number of the dele
gates and thoy crowd around him whllo
ho Indulges In merry personalities at
tholr expense, as befits a leader.
It Is not everybody who can attract
the attention of th King of Italy, nt
tr.act It so faorably ns to rccelvo nn
honorary tltlo from that nation. Yet
Cnvaller Domlnlck D'Aloss.indro, of Al
bany, president of the International Hod
Carriers' Building nnd Common Laborers'
Union, has been so honored. A few
ypnrs ago, when King Emnnuel learned
of tho work done by the cnvallcr for the
Italian laborers, he asked thla American
tabor leader to accept tho honor that ho
now hours The cavallor bears It mod
estly. Today, ns he passed among tho
delegates, he was greeted with Innumer
able "llowd'y, Count's" and was nearly
smothored several times by members of
tho federation who recognise a good fel
low under an Impressive alias
Although the federation may havo a
near approach to a war on Its own hands.
CONDITIONS CALLED
'INSANITARY' IN 304
OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Poor Ventilation and Light
ing and Overcrowding of
Desks Most Frequent Items
Designated for Correction.
Dr. Walter S. Cornell, head of the medi
cal Inspection of the public schools, has
compiled a report designating 5S6 insani
tary conditions In 301 public school build
ings of the city. Tho report has been
submitted to the Department of Health
and Charities and to the Board of Edu
cation. Inspectors, working under direction of
Doctor Cornell, discovered the Insanitary
conditions and many of them havo been
remedied. According to the report the
classrooms, toilets and yards of the school
buildings are generally In good condition.
In addition to the exactions of tho
school codo of Pennsylvania on room
capacity, desk provision and classroom
Illumination, Doctor Cornell has de
termined additional standards for tho
schools of the city In the Interests of tho
health of the pupils.
His report contains statements on 19.8S7
separate Items, of which 7S68 aro rated
excellent, 69S9 good, KH fair, 1049 poor and
747 bad. A summary of Items including
school yards and toilets as well as the
buildings, rate 1274 IteroB as excellent,
10K good, 699 fair, 306 poor and 346 bad.
The report says: "The existence of
Insanitary conditions. It must be acknowl
edged, Is at times a matter of Judgment.
We have taken the word 'insanitary' to
mean prejudicial to health or safety. The
health of the Individual may be affected
through the ceneral nutrition, through
exposure to contagious disease, through
Injury of the eyesight and in other ways.
"Among the latter not considered as
thoughtfully as It should be, Is tho In
Jury to children who use the wrong size
desks, the Injury to children through In
ability to obtain yard exercise after long
periods of close confinement and study,
and the Injury to children falling to ob
tain drinking water at recess time be
cause of an Insufficient water supply;
thereby Inducing not only discomfort,
but Indigestion and sluggish functions."
Included in the items designated 'In

Tho telegram reads.
"I wish to Inform you that General

was becauso he failed to live up to tho
dictations and demands of the Villa peo
ple. "I wish further to Inform you that I
consider the actions of tho Convention as
a farce, and, for that reason nlone, I am
forced not to recognize Its actions.
"Tho Convention, which was dominated
by Vllllstas nnd reactionaries, failed to
accomplish the task It set out to do. In
