CATTLE DISEASE LAID
TO INFECTED VIRUS
Two Drug Firms Are to Blame for
This Terrible Disease.
Washington, May 23. According
to a bulletin of the Department of
Agrlcu-iiro which will be made pub
lic in a few days the presence of
foot and mouth diseaso among
American cattle lies at the door of
two groat drug firms. H. K. Mul
ford & Co., of Philadelphia, made
.in importation of vaccine some time
ago. Tills virus, it is alleged, was
Infected with foot and mouth dis
easo. Parke, Davis & Co., of Detroit,
purchased n consignment of this
vaccine from the Mulford concern,
and after making use of it In the
regular manner on their cattle, ac
cumulated as much of a supply of
the vaccine as they desired, and as
soon as the "cow-pox" virus had
time to work out its course, these
cattle, supposedly free from dis
ease, were sent to a Detroit stock
yard. The vaccine had done its work,
and these cattle were suffering from
foot and mouth disease. From the
Detroit stockyard the scourge spread
until foot and mouth disease was
prevalent throughout a part of the
country. An epidemic was threat
ened, but at tho present time the
spread of the disease lias been ap
parently checked.
Lax methods of Inspection by the
Government olllclals charged with
the duty of guarding the public
health from outside contagion were
found by Dr. J. H. Mohler, head of
the Pathological Bureau, and tho
olllclals of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Agricultural De
partment, to bo responsible.
Efforts were made by Secretary
Wilson to secure the enactment of
a law by Congress vesting the De
partment of Agriculture with au
thority to Inspect and report on all
virus imported. The bill introduc
ed with this object In view failed of
passage. As a result of the de
partment's activity, new regulations
have been adopted by the Marine
Hospital Service of the Treasury
Department, charged with inspection
of the virus under the existing law,
to prevent a repetition of the con
ditions responsible for the spread
of the foot and mouth disease.
Anti-vacciriation societies through
out tho country are taking advant
age of the situation to point out
the dangers that lurk in vaccine.
They are quoting Senator Dolliver
in support of their contention that
vaccination is a menace to health.
"The investigation revealed- that
this virus," said Senator Dolliver,
" used upon calves in the District
of Columbia communicated the foot
and mouth diseaso to them. The
investigation showed that tho dis
ease is almost universal In the
countries of Europe and Asia, Japan,
the Philippine Islands, and in prac
tically all the countries from which
we import our medical viruses, in
cluding tho vaccine for smallpox and
kindred diseases.
"There could bo no more horri
ble situation than the compulsory
vaccination laws of tho United
States administered in connection
with the free and uninspected ad
mission ol infected virus to be sold
ml distributed everywhere among
our people."
Senator Warren is quoted as de
claring that the Department of Ag
riculture spent $350,000 to stamp
out the foot and mouth disease in
New England six years ago and that
it .spent more than $250,000 in
stamping out tho second attack.
A NAHHOW ESCAPE.
John Hart and Charles Sutton,
painters, had a narrow escape from
deatli in a weird form in tho receiv
ing chapel of the Dunmore cemetery
on Wednesday last. They wore en
gaged in applying a chemical prepar
ation in the dome of the chapel de
signed to cover concrete, filling the
ports to prevent "sweating," Power
ful acid like fumes are emitted by
the preparation that has "laughing
gas" beaten to a frazzle if a person
happens to inhale a little too much.
Hart was sent into the dome first,
and very soon his employer, Gardner,
heard him singing and laughing al
ternately In the most happy manner,
and thought what fine shape his
painter was in. But strange to say,
Gardner didn't find quite as much of
tho dome covered as would naturally
result with a workman in such a
happy mood, and put Sutton on the
job to help him.
The only ventilation is through an
aperture about eighteen inches in di
ameter through which the men climb
ed to get inside tho dome. An extra
man meant an extra pail of the pre
paration, and consequently tho
strength of the aroma was doubled.
Along toward 11 o'clock Gardner
caught the sound of unusual laughter
and singing which increased, and
Gardner couldn't help but wonder
what two splendid workmen he had
and how finely they got along to
gether. Later, however, not a sound
emitted from the dome and Gardner
began investigating. Ho called to
each of the men In turn but an omin
ous greeted him. Climbing up a
ladder to the top of the dome and
peering In, Gardner started back, his
breath cut off by an overpowering
odor. Tho vault was filled with the
fumes of the preparation. Hart lay
on one side of tho dome and Sutton
on the other, unconscious. In a mo
ment It entered Gardner's head that
the fumes .were getting in their dead
ly work and with the assistance of a
brother of Sutton the unconscious
men were gotten out of the vault and
carried Into the open. Telephone
calls were hastily sent to soveral doc
tors and Dr. Miles Gibbons was the
first to respond. Dr, Gibbons worked
over the men until into the afternoon.
Sutton was resusltated first. When
he got on his feet he broke away
from tho men holding him and dash
ed madly through the cemetery. Tho
fumes caused a sort of wild Intoxica
tion and fearing that he would kill
himself on a tombstone Dr. Gibbons
and the others chased after him.
When they captured him thoy had to
throw It 1 in on tho ground and sit on
him for a while. When the intoxi
cation wore off Sutton suffeied a
llerco headache. Hart was brought
around alter it while but profiting by
their earlier experience he did not get
a chance to show his Btrength like
Sutton. By 3 o'clock both men were
suflleieiitly recovered to be removed'
home in a cab. Dr. Gibbons stated
that tho fumes emitted by the prepar
ation were worse than mine gas and
that his experience was one of the
most peculiar lie had met witli dur
ing his practice.
He Go- Off Easy.
Mrs. Exe Gocd-by. I'm sorry my
husband isn't in. I wish I knew some
way of keeping him at homo a little
more.
Mrs. Wyo Let him buy a motor
car.
Mrs. Exe Why, he'd be out more
than ever then.
Mrs. Wye Oh, tear no! Mrs. Dash
er tells me her husband bought a
motor a few days age, and tho doctor
--ays he won', bo out for six weeks.

"SAPHOt"
After taking a' vote which stood
820 yeas and 40 noes the Gardnor
Vincent Co., will produce for two
nights only, at the Lyric theatre,
Thursday and Saturday, the raging
New York success, "Sapho." It ran
one solid year in New York when
Miss Olga Nethorsole made it a
world-wide success.
Connoisseurs of literature liavo
pronounced it a classic, and claim it
teaches a better moral than "Cnmlllo"
or "East Lynne."
The action of the first act takes
place at a French Ball, where Jean
Gaussln meets Fanny Lo Grand, who,
owing to having posed for a statue
of the Goddess of Music, "Sapho,"
has been called Sapho. After that
the story is similar to "Camllle,"
only calls for bigger dramatic scenes
and climaxes.
The actress who portrays tills fam
ous part is called upon -to run the
whole gamut of emotions, and will
give Miss Vincent more opportunity
than she lias over had before. That
she will avail herself of every oppor
tunity goes without saying it. Mr.
Gardner will put all the lire and
dash into Jean, and an augmented
east of some local favorites will be
necessary to produce this great play,
and without doubt It will be tho
dramatic event of the season.
Seats tire now on sale .and the In
dications are that two big houses will
witness "Sapho." Prices still pre
vail the same, 10, 20, 30, and 50
cents; no higher even for this big
suciess.
Souvenir cards of Miss Vincent
and Mr. Gardner given to purchasers
of orchestra seats on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday.
