Bit Associated Press.
New York, Jnn. 15.—Wall Street.—
! The feature of to-day's early stock
| market was tho decline to the lowest
! prices of the week by ijoime of the most
j active issues, notably j 11. S. Steel.
Marked heaviness was shown also by
j Southern Pacific, Beading and New
Haven. Baltimore and Ohio was a con
spicuous exception adding a materisl
fraction to yesterday's rise, but react
ing later. A 13 point advance in Lack
awanna on one transaction attracted
some attention. Among s)>ccialties,
American Tobacco rose 1-2 points.
London pursued its usual course of a
lower range for our securities, Cana
j dian Pacific being the only striking ex-
I ception to the average decline.
Except for further declinos in the
speculative leaders and a few addi-
I tiona! gains among the specialties tfc«
market showed no pconounced change
: from its opening tendencies. Trans
continental issues were lower, Cana-
I dian Pac.Lfii' losing « point. There was
j continued heaviness in Reading and
j Pennsylvania, and Missouri Pacific al
j most equalled its recent low price. Steel
i ainl Amalgamated failed to better their
j early |>ositions. Western Union made
I favorable response to its statement of
j earnings. Bonds were strong, with a
j good demand for convertible issues.

BROADWAY HITS IN OPERETTA
Thirty-one Catchy Songs In the Pro
duction, 4 'Papa'B Daughters"
The operetta, "Papa's Daughtors,"
to foe given at tho Majestic theatre
January 2-5 aad 26, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Poly
clinic hospital, is not in line with the
average home talent production. Therre
is nothing ol an amateurish type in the
piece. The songs, thirty-ine in mimfber,.
are of the test grade, being the present
hits of Broadway. The dances are all
graceful and fetching, -while the scen
ery and costumes are new and perfect
in detail.
There is not a dull moment in the
entire show. Everything moves with
that dash and spirit which character
izes the more recent musical produc
tions.
FARRIERS AID IN FIGHTING
FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
The Value of the Public's Help In
Stunping Out the Dreaded Plague
Is Especially Markod In Indiana
and Michigan
Washington, D. C., Jan. 15.—The
recent lifting of the foot and mouth
quarantines from largo areas previous
ly closed and the modification of the
quarantines in still other sections has
been made possible, federal authorities
say, toy the co-operation, not only of
the various State officials, but of farm
ers and stockmen themselves. Where
this co-operation has beeu most in evi
dence, progress in the eradication of
the disease has been most rapid. The
federal authorities have of course con
trol over the movement of live stock
in interstate commerce only; the local
quarantines are established and en
forced by the State. Their efficiency de
pends in great measure upon the will
ingness of the people to submit to the
necessary restrictions.
Indiana and Michigan are cited as
instances of the importance in this re
spect of public opinion. In Michigan
the first herd was slaughtered om Octo
ber 19. Cases of the disease oxisted in
fifteen Michigan counties and in eight
con in Indiana. In all 330 herds were
! affected. Sixty days later these herds
had all beeu slaughtered arod the infect
ed promises cleaned and freed from
disease. , In the interval there had
been only a few scattering instances,
half a dozen possibly, of the plague
spreading from these different centers
of infection to neighboring farms.
The pcoplo not only obsorved the
quarantine regulations Kut they did all
in their power to expedite the' work of
slaughter. In many cases they had the
ditches in which the animals were to
bo buried dug and waiting for the kill
ing gangs. As a rule no objection
was taken to the appmser's valuation
of the condemned stock, which is the
more surprising in view of the fiaet that
so 'little was generally known of the
seriousness of the disease. The farmers
did not want to part with their stock.
They saw that the sore mouths and
feet igrow better and they had had no
experience with the after"effects of the
pestilence—the constant aborting, the
failure to produce milk, the ability to
disseminate disease months after" the
visible symptoms hiad disappeared.
| Nevertheless they accepted the situa
tion, hcliping instead of hindering.
In only a very few coses was there
any attempt to conceaJ the existence
of the disease, in fact public opinion
was so strongly against this that it was
practically impossible to dto so. In one
instance a man fod some skim milk from
i a creamery to a calf which later de
veloped foot and mouth disease. It oc
curred to him to kill the calf and say
nothing about the matter. The neigh
bors. however, obtained some inkling of
the facts and notified the authorities.
After he had beeu forced fo admit that
he had killed the calf tho body was
dlug up and unmistakable marks of the
disease found upon . it. Within two
weeks all the rest of the herd was in
fected and had to be killed. In addi
tion the owner was fined S2O or so for
breaking the quarantine regulations.
The sentiment, of the whole community,
it should be noted, was against him.
In another case in Michigan an in
dividual with a weakness 'for dogs of
which ho owned five or six ignored' tho
regulation which required all dogs to ba
tied up in order to provent their pick
ing up and spreading the disease. With,
him as witn the calf owner it was the
neighbors who objected. The sheriff
tied up the dogs and their owner paid
a fine of $23. A week or ten days aft
erwards he was punished more severely
by the loss of all his cattle which came
down with the disease and had to be
slaughtered. There had been no pre
vious outbreak in that neighborhood for
three weeks. AJthough dogs, as in this
case, and chickens unquestionably act
as mechanical carriers in spreading the
disease, in Indiana and Michigan tho
creameries were found to be one of the
chief sources of contagion. One of the
first steps taken by the authorities was
to insist upon the creameries sterilizing
the skimmed milk and whey before
these were returned to be fed to stock.
At the beginning of the campaign in
Berrien county, Michigan, there were
at least 170 herds infected in an area
approximately 18 miles long by 8 miles
wide. Of this infection 70 per cent,
was traced to skinnmed milk returned
bv the creameries. After the order re
quiring sterilization went into effect,
one establishment allowed itg apparatus
tp get out of order and three days went
by before it was repaired. Infection
In 33 herds was traced to the careless
ness of these three days.
In Allegan county, again, there was
one .small herd affected, the owner of
which was one of fifty-nine patrons of
a creamery. Though bo delivered milk
to it for only one or two .lays this was
sufficient to infect 21 herds "and it was
considered fortunate that all of the 59
patrons drd not suffer.
Prom such experiences as these live
stock authorities are more than ever
convinced that skim milk should in
variably be sterilized.
The danger from the foot and mouth
disease is of course a passing one. Pre
vious epidemic* have been stamped out
and there is no reason to suppose that
this one will not be. Tuberculosis, how
ever, is a permanent menace. Its symp
toms are not so immedintely notice
able an*) it is thereforo more difficult
toftrace the origin of the infection but
there is no doubt that it is frequently
disseminated in skim milk in the same
way that the foot and mouth disease
was in tho instances described. Togeth
er with the creameries, public sales of
live stock have proved themselves most
dangerous agents in spreading foot and
mouth disease. In Indiana and Michi
gan the State authorities absolutely pro
hibited the holding of such sales in or
adijacent to areas where the disease ex
13
istod. The spread of the contagion in
other states where this prohibition was
not enforced shows the value of the pre
caution but it requires strong and de
termined action on the part of the local
authorities.

At the Photoplay
"Threads of Destiny," with Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, the picture with the
greatest drawing card of the year. A
wonderful drama of Russian life, in
which Evelyn Nesbit Thaw portrays
the character of a young girl, the Ward
of a chief of the secret police. Some
people are under the impression that
a character, given the name of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, is acting this part, but
the management of this theatre offers
a reward of SGOO to any one that can
prove that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is not
the real star that is advertised. Tn
connection with this great picture, we
are showing the regular picture of
''The Girl Telegrapher's 'Peril," wihich
is one of the railroad series shown at
the Photoplay every Friday. To-mor
row is Alice Joyce Saturday. Miss
Joyce appears in the leading role of a
two-act Kalem drama, "Cast, Up by the
Sea." She is ably supported by Guy
CoonVbs. Tho management also wishee
to call the attention of the ladies, es
pecially, to kindly attend the early
evening performances, if possible.
