And 'tis hard, 'tis hard to part; yet we
must farewell to you answer, one

MORE QUARANTINE REMOVED
Ban for Cattle Disease Enforced Now
in Only a Few Counties
1 Almost all of the state of Pennsyl
vania is now released from quarantine
for the foot and mouth disease, accord
ing to a circular issued by the State
Livo Stock Sanitary Board to-day. >'o
entire county is quarantined, and" the
ban is on only parts of Allegheny,
Butler, Erie, Chester, Jefferson, Phila
delphia, Schuylkill, Warren and West
moreland. In Lebanon county all of
the territory within seven miles of the
premises of A. Klinefelter is under
quarantine, the disease only existing on
Mr. Klinefelter'B farm in that county.
Regarding the quarantined districts
none of the rules is relaxed in the
slightest, and the agents of the Board
are directed to keep close watch for
new outbreaks. It is considered now
that outside of Philadelphia, where
15,000 hogs were killed last week ami
a number of piggeries burned, there is
very little danger of the disease
spreading.
The cost to the state, which will pay
its share of the value of the animals
destroyed, has not yet been figured, but
it will be very large.

WEEK INTHESTOCK MARKET
Westinghouse Falls 5 1-4, Bethlehem
Steel and General Electric Each '$
and Other War Specialties Almost
as Much—List Soon Rebounds
New York, May 3. —Wall Street.—-
Latest war news in its possible rela
tion to this country formed the basis
of a general selling movement at the
opening of to-day's market. Instead
of the wide gains which hav e been the
chief characteristic of each new week,
there were losses of 2 to 5 points,
many in equipment and industrial
shares. Westinghouse fell 5 1-4 to
94 1.-2 Bethlehem Steel and General
Electric 3 and other war specialties as
well as motors almost as much. Cop
pers yielded more moderately. Canadian
Pacific was the weakest railway issue,
declining three points, with one point
declines in Reading, Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific.
Early offerings were absorbed with
such confidence that the list soon re
bounded sharply. United States Steel
led the recovery, repeating its recent
high quotation of 60 7-8. Other im
portant stocks rose to figures well above
last week's final quotations even spe
cialties like Westinghouse making up
most of their initial declines. Selling
was resumed before midday, however,
on publication of advices from Wash
ington which intimated that this gov
ernment intends to make representa
tions to Germany in connection with
attacks on American vessels. Prices
again fell to 3 points in prominent
stocks. Bonds were irregular.
The market registered its third de
cline of the session in the early after
noon when the entire list fell lower
tha.n before. War specialties showed
loss of 5 to almost 10 points from
Saturday's close on heavy selling.

GULFIGHT CONFIRMED

ment. A claim for the loss sustained,
including damages for the lives lost,
undoubtedly will be filed with the
State Department, he thought.
The Gulflight's Cargo
The Gulflight's cargo, Mr. Kennedy
said, consisted of gasoline and oil in
bulk and in cases. It was consigned to
firms doing (business in France and not
to the Freni*b government, he asserted.
Oaptain Alfred Gunter whoue death
from heart failure, was reported, was
5>2 years old. Early in the year he
took a cargo of cotton into Bremen
aboard the Gulflight. In January of
last year he was in command of the
steamer Olkahoma, which broke in two
in a gale off the New Jersey coast and
was rescued with seven of his crew by
the steamer Bavaria.
U. S. Awaits Probe of Disaster
Washington, May 3.—President
Wilson will reserve judgment on the
torpedoing of the American steamer
Gulflight until further details are re
ceived. The President inquired about
the incident when he arrived from
Williamstown, Mass., to-day but was
told that so far as White House of
ficials knew, no official word had come
in.
In the face of news dispatches of
ficials state that the attack on the ship
is a serious matter, but they intend
that a very thorough investigation will
be made and tliat no hasty action
should be taken.
Secretary Bryan said that a thor
ough inquiry would be made but that
before official reports were received
the Washington government would
make no comment.
Should another day pass without in
formation from American officials
abroad they probably will ibe instruct
ed to get iu touch with the remote lo
calities where the Gulflight and her
crew were taken.
Head of Gulflight Owners Talks
Pittsburgh, May 3.—lt is not the
purpose of the Gulf Refining Company,
whose steamship the Gulflight was tor
pedoed off the Scilly Islands iby a Ger
man submarine, to press any claim
through the United States government
at this time, according to George 8.
Davidson, president of the company.
"I will be in Washington to-mor
row, and will call at the State Depart
ment," said Mr. Davidson. "Our
property was covered by insurance in
no way connected with the govern
ment marine insurance. That of course,
will be paid, and the only matter to
be taken up with the government will
ibe how to do with relief of the fam
ilies of Captain Gunter, the wireless
operator and the seaman whose deaths
resulted from the attack. There are no
more of our ships in thaf vicinity now,
but we are not going out of business
because we have suffered this loss."
Chicago, May 3.—Charles C. Short,
the wireless operator who is reported to
have lost his lifo when the American
steamer Gulflight was torpedoed off the
Scilly Islands, was making his first trip
as a wireless operator. He was 22
years old, made his home with his
mother here.

LOCAL MEN TO TESTIFY
FOR INDUSTRIAL BOARD
Colonel Grooms and Representative
Mmrer Will Tell Federal Commis
sion About State Police—News
ptpermen called In Strike Probe
Colonel John C. (Broome, Superintend
ent of the Stat* 'Police, to-day received
a summons to Washington to appear on
Thursday next nt S meeting of the
United States Commission on Industrial
Relations to tell of the State Police of
Pennsylvania. Tho Commission states
that it desires to hear from Colonel
Groome about the organization of the
police, its personnel, its work and how
it is handled. In fact it desires to ob
tain all tihe information possible re
garding this organization, in view of
Hie fact, as the summons to Colonel
Groome says, that other States are con
sidering the organization of similur
bodies of men to do police duty.
Tho Commission will also discuss
criticisms made of the Pennsylvania
State Police, and will hear Representa
tive James H. Maurer, of Beading, head
of the State Federation of Labor, who
has frequently attacked tho State Po
lice ami is the author of « pamphlet
referring to it as the '"Pennsylvania
Cossacks.'' Other labor leaders un
friendly to the State Police will be
heard, as well as persons who favor the
organization.
Present and former employes of the
Marrisburg "Patriot," including Her
bert L. Grim, of Gettysburg, now con
nected with the Philadelphia "North
American; " John P. Guyer, clerk to the
Dauphin County Directors of tihe Poor,
and Earl M. White, at present of the
"Patriot" staff, also have been sum
moned to testify before the Federal
Commission. It is understood here that
the newspapermen are to be examined
in connection with the inquiry into the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's at
titude toward those of its employes who
a year ago who went out on a strike
under an order from the Brotherhood of
Federated Railroad Employes.
SAYS DRINKISNOT
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Continued From First Pant.
hitherto realized that drink is hamper
ing the work in the shipbuilding and
transport trades.
Judging from the editorial opinion
expressed in this morning's newspapers,
however, serious as the situation is thus
depicted, it is not regarded as justify
ing David Lloyd George, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, in penalizing the whole
nation by an excessive taxation of the
liquor industry. It is pointed out in
the editorials that the trouble arises
from the men earning much larger
wages than they have been accustomed
to, and the suggestion is made that some
means should be found for deferring
payment of this excess of earnings until
after the war.
Opposing George's Proposition
"Any one reading Mr. Lloyd
George's brief," says the "Times" in
an editorial, "will wonder more than
ever what his general prohibitive du
ties have to do with the matter. Ample
grounds are cited for local restriction,
but not for the proposed large sur
taxes."
Most of the morning newspapers
take the same view as the "Times,"
although tho liberal papers naturally
are less frank in opposing Mr. Lloyd
George. The "Daily Chronicle," which
may be regarded as voicing the govern
ment view, seems to hint that the new
sur taxes will be withdrawn or modi
fied.
"We may bp sure," says the "Daily
Chronicle," that no attempt will fie
made to carry Hi em by force on party
division. Unless the opposition assent,
they will be withdrawn nnd doubtless
large latitude of amendment will be
given in order to avoid such a result.
• * * The scheme of taxation is not in
the least inseparable from the policy of
the proposed bill. It would he quite
feasible to have one without the other.
Taxation Question a Puzzle
"Nevertheless, some national forms
of prohibition or deterrence in addition
to the local forms which the bill con
templates seem to be very necessary."
The "Times" in a speciaf article dis
cussing the situation points out that,
although new taxes are practical in op
eration, there are many recorded in
stances of withdrawals, and says that
there still are many questions on which
Parliament requires light before a final
decision is taken—for instance, whether
it is proposed to pay any compensation
for loss caused by new taxes.
"Why," asks the "Times," "are
wines of British manufacture exempt
from the new taxes and how is alcohol,
used legitimately in medicine, to es
cape the increased taxation}"
THE AUSTRALASIAN LOSSES
HEAVY IN CALLIPOLI FIGHT
Melbourne, Australia, May 3. —The
suspense of the past two days concern
ing the fig'hting of the Australasian
troops on the Oalli|oli peninsula has
'been somewhat lifted by the publication
of t'he first list of casualties. From the
proportion of officers killed and wound
ed the losses of the Australasians ap
parently were sevore. Although the
announcement of the casualty list was
received without demonstration, the
feeling here is intense. The minister
of defense has issued a statement ad
vising patience.
The news of the fightnng in Turkey
and the recent parade of troops, in
Sydney have greatly stimulated re
cruiting. All previous recruiting rec
ords in Sydney have been beaten.
KILLS HER WHILE SPOONING
Lover Pulls Pistol From Pocket by Ac
cident and It does Off
Sandwich, 111., May 3.—Herbert Lett,
a young farmer, accideutaWy shot and
killed his sweetheart, iMass Amelia
{Jchiedecker, under peculiar circum
stances last night.
The pair were "spooning" at the
Lett home. Their arms were about each
other. Lett says he reached in his
pocket for a handkerchief. An auto
matic weapon he carried fell out with
tihe "handkerchief, struck a stone and
exploded. The bullet passed through
the girl's head. Lett placed Che Imdy
in a motor car an<l drove madly to

reacted the girl was dead.
