IN FIGHT TO CHECK
DISEASE IN CARLE
New Outbreak Causes Great
Stir —Other States Bar
Lone Star Live Stock
• WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.
Prompt action by federal and state
livestock officials has brought the
combined forces of the bureau of
animal industry and the live stock
sanitary commission of Texas into
a concentrated drive to eradicate an
outbreak of the foot and mouth dis
ease of cattle on a ranch in Harris
county, Texas, not far from Hous-
< ton. 'Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of
the federal government’s forces here,
said conditions in general are favor
able for the eradication work.
aA 'rhe disease, which had been im-
observation of the state aifthori
was not definitely diagnosed as
dread cattle scourge until to-
a drastic quaran
tine, was thrown around the infect
ed ranch and those nearby while a
quarantine covering Harris and Gal
veston counties and parts of Bra
zoria and Fort Bend counties was
promptly put into effect.
The Texas officials willingly sign
ed a contract for co-operation with
the federal authorities, as is neces
sary before the federal government
can begin operations within any
state. Steam shovels worked all
last night preparing a trench for
the infected cattle when slaughtered.
The usual methods of quarantine,
inspection, appraisal, slaughter and
deep burial, which have resulted in
the suppression of other outbreaks,
will be followed.
Direction of the federal forces in
the work of eradication will be tak
en by Dr. Marion Imes, one of the
bureau’s veterinarians of long-expe
rience in foot and mouth disease con
trol who is en route to Houston. Dr.
>. L. J. Aljen, inspector Jn charge of
veterinary field work in Texas for
the federal government, and Dr. T.
W. Cole, his assistant, are working
with Chairman J. Boog Scott of the
livestock sanitary commission of
Texas, and Dr. Leon Cloud, state
veterinarian, who are on the
ground.
’ The new outbreak is in no way
connected with the infection which
appeared in California last year and
Which has been suppressed, officials
of the bureau of animal industry
stated today. Strong indications
that the infection entered surrepti
tiously from.South America through
a. gulf port are given in a prelim
inary survey of the Texas situation.
TEXAS MOBILIZES MEN
‘ AND RESOURCES FOR FIGHT
HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 28. —
With the definite diagnosis today of
the malady affecting 400 head of
Brahma cattle on the ranch of the
Rev. William States Jacobs as the
foot and mouth disease, plans were
put into operation to hold the dis
ease in check. Seventy-five men,
guards, inspectors and laborers were
t put on the ranch and before night
six thousand acres and 1,100 head
of beef cattle w*re under guard
This force was expected to be aug
mented by Monday.
A second outbreak of the disease
was discovered today in the six thou
sand-acre area near here which is
under strict guard.
Announcement of the new out
break was made by Dr. W. Id. Cot
ton, government expert from Wash
ington, -who said he had definitely
diagnosed the disease among cattle
on the Perry-McFadden ranch, near
Webster, Texas.
The state live stock and sanitary
commission issued an official quar
antine today on all of Harris and
Galveston counties, and all that part
< of Fort Bend and Brazoria counties
east of the Brazos river, prohibiting
the movement of live stock either
within these counties or out of
them. Live stock already in transit
on railroads was not affected by the
order. The quarantine was extended
to dressed carcasses of all ruminants
and their hides or wool as well as
to all products of the soil, including
hay, grain, biological products man
ufactured in i,he quarantine territo
Xv, trees, grass, shrubs, flowers and
gjL'enhouse plants.
quarantine first was extended
products but was modified
u-.rin't iTie day to permit their ship
Went after they had been sterilized
and placed in containers approved
by an inspector attached to the com
mission.
Governoj- Neff was notified of the
progress being made to check the
disease. It was recognized that the
t struggle would entail the expenditure
of a large sum of money and the
governor agreed to come to Houston
tomorrow for a conference.
Trenches were dug tod ly by a
•team shovel for the burial of the
Infected cattle, which are scheduled
to be destroyed Monday, according
to presor t plans. Probably one-half
of the Jw-ecbs’ herd will be sacrificed
it was stated. Poison bait was scat
tered today to kill any dog, wolf, or
other ani;r>al that might wander on
the ranch. On the state highway to
Galveston, guards were stationed and
all automobile traffic between that
city and Houston was stopped except
over a detour.
There have been several theories
regarding the origin of the disease in
this state. The theory that the dis
ease had developed through contact
with Brahma bulls imported from
Mexico found little support from J.
E. Boog-Scott, of Fort Worth, chair
man of the state live stock and san
itary ’ommission. He pointed out
that they had been subjected to
♦ blood te?ts by the federal govern
ment before becoming attached to
the herd.
It was possible. Boog-Scott said,
that they vSight be "carriers” of the
disease in the same sense that a
person might be a carrier of typhoid
fever germs. None of the bulls
showed initial signs of the disease,
he said.
"We are looking for the source of
infection in every part of the United
States." Boog-Scott said today.
He indicated it was possible it
might have come through the port of
« Galveston and been due to the
operations of bootleggers. This
theory extended to the probability
that germs of the foot and mouth
disease might easily have become at
tached to the material used in pack
ing liquors from foreign countries
and smuggled into Texas. Some dis
mantled packing eases which had
the appearance of having one time
held liquor of a foreign brand have
been found on the ranch where the
cattle are located.

GUILTY CONSCIENCE
KEEPS G.O.P.DUMB.
JNO. W. IMS SAYS
I
La Follette's Supreme Court
Proposals Are Criticized by
Democratic Nominee
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 28.
Just as the historian will describe
the year 1920 as that of “the year
of great promises,” so he will come
to denominate 1924 as “the year of
the great silence,” John W. Davis
declared in an address to several
thousand persons here tonight.
“It is a vast and mysterious si
lence,” Mr. Davis said. “It is broken
here and there by the vocal nominee
of the Republican party, warning
the American people in anxious
tones that around every corner and
under every bedstead there lurks a
' bolshevik ready to destroy them.
I Now and then some person almost
: forgotten writes to a candidate and
, complains of the terms in which he
has been described.
“And then occasionally some cabr
net officer, standing on the western
shore, will .rattle his saber like a
new toy recently given him. The
extinguishment is placed upon him
and silence reigns supreme once
more. It all reminds me of noth
ing so much as the words of Ten
nyson:
“ ‘The dead steered by the dumb
move onward with the flood.’”
“Why this silence?” asked ? r.
Davis, then he proceeded to answer
his own question with a review of
the record of the Republican party’s
administration of the federal gov
ernment, both in the field of do
mestic and foreign affairs.
I.a Follette "Bogey Man”
Referring to Senator La Follette,
the independent presidential candi
date, by name for the first time
in the campaign, Mr. Davis said a
"bogey man” was being set up by
spokesmen for the Republican par
ty. a “bogey man” clad in a great
red cloak, with the word “bolshe
vik” burned across his breast.
“But when the cloalf drops.” he
added, “lo and behold, it’s none other
t han our family friend, Senator‘Bob’
La Follette.
“I hold no brief for Senator T.a
Follette,” Mr, Davis said, adding
that he had opposed with all hi«
vigor the La Follette proposal ?>r
a veto power by legislatures over
the supreme court on legislative
matters.
As to the contention that T.a Fol
lette is seeking to “lead the coun
try to Moscow/’ Mr. Davis said he
was rather of the opinion that he
was seeking to lead it to London,
where, under the British form of
government, the parliament is su
preme.
' More Raps for G. O. P.
The Democratic presidential nom
inee declared that one of the big
issues of this campaign was that of
paity responsibility, and he added
that the Republican party should
and must be held to accountability
for its acts.
“And that brings me to a pain
ful subject,” the nominee added. “I
could recite that chapter simply by
calling names. I could say ‘Teapot ’ 1
see that you understand what I am
talking about.
“I could say ‘Perryville.’ I see
that the World war veterans and
their friends know what I mean.
Then I might talk about Gaston
Means.”
That brought a laugh.
“But this is a serious subject,”
Mr. Davis went on. “The betrayal
of the public trust by these men
was not a random accident or the
result of unfortunate selection of
men. All their actions were symp
toms of disease, the idea that gov
ernment exists for what men can
get out of it and not for what they
can put into it."
"When the hopes of men can no
longer be raised by promises,” the
Democratic presidential candidate
said, ‘when their expectations can
n i longer be met by party perform
ance, what is there left to play upon
but their fears? And so I deteef the
bringing on the stage of a new ‘bogey
man.’ He is wearing a fur cap and
a long, red robe and across his breast
h’s name is written in curious char
acters such as we rarely see in the
United States; and they point to him
and tell you he is a bolshevik; and
when this cap falls off and he lays
down his red gown, you will find that
he is none other than our familial
friend. Senator Bob La Follette, of
Wisconsin.
Supreme Court Views
“Now, no brief for Senatoi
La Follette, and it is not my duty
to defend any of Senator l.a Fol
lette’s governmental ideas; but there
is one of his ideas from which 1
profoundly dissent —and, unlike cer
tain gentlemen, who are quite ex
cited at this hour on the subject, I
; claim to have been one of those who
have discussed it adversely for at
least twenty years—and that is the
p-oposition that there shall be taken
away from the supreme court of the
United States the final power to say
when congress has and when it
has not exceeded the limitations of
’he power the people gave it; and
when the states of the union have
and when they have not infringed
the authority of the federal govern
ment that the people vest in it, and
when the federal government has
..nd when it has not invaded the
rights that the people give to the
states.
“But when I am told Senator La
Follette’s proposal comes from Mos
co v. from those, in the language of
a certain letter 1 had occasion to
read last week, fresh from a lurid
baptism in the miseries of Russia,
1 begin to scratch my head and think
a little about my history, and I
realize that my real objection to Sen
ator La Follette’s proposal is not that
It is leading us on to Moscow but
that it is trying to take us back
London.

October 1 Is the Last Day
I7OR several years, the national papers and magazines have
* been fighting for Southern subscribers. In this fierce
competition, they have been cutting their prices away below
the cost of mailing out their periodicals.
As a result, our readers have been able to get the cream of
the periodicals through Tri- Weekly Journal clubs at ridiculous
ly low cost.
That bitter competition is about to be replaced by saner and
sounder business methods on the part of those publishers. So
clubbing prices are going up.
You will ALWAYS be able to get clubs through us as cheap
ly as from any other publication—but we will have to increase
our prices on all our present combinations on October 1.
Subscribe now and save money.
If your subscription expires within the next six months, it
will pay you to renew now if you want clubbing combinations.
We have the other publishers tied up with contracts until
October 1. They can’t raise their prices to us before that date.
Until then, you can get any of the combinations listed below at
the remarkable bargain prices which have been in force since
January 1.
Don’t wait till it is too late. Act now.

CLEMENCEAU, HERMIT-LIKE,
PASSES HIS 83D MILESTONE,
AT WORK ON HIS BOOKS
"Tiger of France,” Hailed as
Father of Victory, Con
tinues Solitary Labors in
Bleak Coast Home
BY WEBB MI LI-ER
ST. VINCENT SUR JARD,
France, Sept. 27.—Georges Clemen
ceau, “father of victory,” was
eighty-three today.
Like Cincinnatus of old, after sav
ing his country, he has come back
to his soil and the scenes of his boy
hood.
I sought him here in his hermit
like retreat beside the open sea.
The ‘‘Tiger” said he was througn
forever with political life.
Clemenceau will spend the re
mainder of his days completing a
laborious philosophical work to be
published only after his death. This
he intends to be his literary legacy
to posterity. Beyond the fact that
it embodies his philosophy and
ideals of "man and life and the
things thereof,” he was reticent
about his work.
The first volume is complete in
its first draft, and the former pre
mier expects to put in two years re
drafting it. Then he will work for
eight to ten years on two other vol
umes.
"After which I will rest and grow
old.”
The ‘‘Tiger’’ chuckled. It is his
favorite joke.
Is Amazingly Active
Despite, half a century of bitter
political battles, Clemenceau today is
hale and amazingly active. He now
lives here most of the year, in a
one story shack approached by a
narrow path through a cabbage
patch.
The cottatge looks out on a bleak
stretch of Atlantic, a few yards
from its door, one of the loneliest
spots on the continent. It is swept
by winds or driving rains continu
ously
With his valet. Albert, and an aged
cook, the "Tiger” lives the simple
life. He daily visits the markets
in Sablesdonnes with a basket on
his arm. purchases his own food and
carries it home.
The "Tiger” vigorously refused to
talk politics.
"I’m through. My talking would
only do harm. It probably would
do no good. I can see how things
-re going, but they’ll go that way
anyhow.” he grumbled.
‘I told them long ago how things
would go. Now thej re going.”
Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday, September 30, 1924
Then the veteran statesman’s hu
mor changed.
“But you came all this way to see
me. Stay and have luncheon with
me. ’'Ve il talk of everything except
politics.”
Wearing his famous three-cornered
“poilu” cap, the familiar grey gloves
and baggy frock coat, the “Tiger”
conducted the correspondent over
his tiny property, proudly demon
strating now he was forcing vege
tation to grow on nothing but sand
and water and rotten sea weed.
During the frugal luncheon of sole,
mutton and cauliflower, served in
the narrow kitchen, Clemenceau told
how he works on his book.
“I’,m in bed every night by 7:30 or
8 o’clock,” he said. “Then I wake
about 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning,
get up, do some light gymnastje exer
cises and work by the light of a kero
sene lamp with the waves roaring
outside and generally with wind and
rain buffeting the house.
“I love it. This morning I got
up at 1 o’clock and worked until
half past four and then went back
to bed again.”
The Tiger showed a sheaf of in
terlined sheets.
Keeps Book Secret
“But you can’t look at them,” he
said, putting them away.
“How do I keep so well? I eat
very little and very simple food and
exercise moderately. I sleep as
much as I need to and I work and
above all, I don't worry.
“I am one of the few men in the
world who is free, absolutely free.
1 can see only the people I want,
f can go when and where I like, and
do about as I like.
“I don’t read the newspapers any
more. I pay little attention to the
world.
"I have my own thoughts. When
a man has gone through what I’ve
gone through, he has plenty to talk
.about.”
But this man who fought in the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870, and ;
directed the making of peace after j
the world war. nearly half a century 1
later, could not lie completely iso
lated.
Thousands of friends remembered
his birthday. Cablegrams and tele
grams from all over the world,
signed by some of the biggest names,
came constantly to his little Vendee
retreat.
“I guess I can’t entirely escape ■
the world, even though I do live out
here at the end of nowhere,” he
grumbled and then laughed.
“Well, come and see me again in
seventeen years—when I’m 100.”

BANKRUPTCY CASE
Charging that H. W. Cook, bank
rupt banker of Fairburn, Campbell
county, has transferred certain prop
erty to his wife in order “to defraud
creditors,” J. H. McClure, the re
ceiver appointed by the state and
federal courts, Monday requested
Judge Samuel H. Sibley to approve
a petition in which it is urged that
Cook and his wife be restrained
from any further disposal of the
property or from disposing of the
crops which have been grown on
the land.
Judge Sibley signed an order
granting permission for the filing
.of the petition and indicated he
would hold a hearing on October 4
to determine the question of an In
junction.
Mr. McClure, who was appointed
receiver by the state court on June
21, sets forth in the petition that he
was in the act of filing a bill of
equity in an effort to restore title
of the property to Mr. Cook when
the filing of bankruptcy proceedings
in federal court tied his hands.
lie urged in th epetition that when
a federal trustee in bankruptcy is
appointed for Cook’s estate, that his
action in filing the hill of equity be
authorized by the federal court.
The petition alleges that while the
conveyance of title is alleged to have
been made on April 3, 1922, that it
was not actually made until spring
of this year. It also sets forth that
at the time of the alleged “pretend
ed conveyance” Mr. Cook was in
solvent and that he and his wife
knew of the insolvency.
It is further alleged that Mrs.
Cook assumed the title to the prop
erty “for the sole purpose of aiding
Cook in covering up and concealing
his property from his creditors.”
The petition also sets forth that
Mr. Cook made the transfer volun
tarily and that the sum of $7,500,
alleged to have been the price paid
by Mrs. Cook for the property, does
not represent the true value of the
land, and that no money actually
passed between them.
Mr. McClure adds that crops val
ued at $2,000 have been grown on
the land, and that he is apprehen
sive that the crops are to be dis
posed of and that Mrs. Cook is pre
paring to transfer the property to
a third party.

ON TOKiO DEMANDS
Japanese Raise Menace of
Race Issue in Protocol
Amendments
GENEVA, Sept. 29.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —Two members of the
Japanese delegation declared to press
representatives today that if Japan
did not obtain satisfaction of her de
mand for an amendment to the pro
posed protocol of arbitration and se
curity, she probably, much to their
regret, would be obliged to vote
against the protocol when it was
submitted to the assembly of the
League of Nations.
If this happens, the protocol ini
tiated by Foreign Minister Benes,
of Czecho-Slovakia, and elaborated by
the disarmament commission and its
subcommittee, will fail of adoption
and consequently the international
disarmament conferene provided for
in the protocol and planned for next
summer will not be held.
Grave international problems aie
Jielieved to have been raised through
the Japanese demand, many of the
delegates being of the opinion that
the whole question of racial equality
has been thrown definitely before
the world by the Tokio amendment.
The delegates from the British
dominions, especially Australia and
New Zealand, are showing anxiety
because they fear that the immigr i
tion problem may be forced before
the council of the league.
Subcommittee Adjourns
The subcommittee to which
matter was entrusted adjourned
without having taken up the Jaj’
ancse amendment. The meeting was
taken up with the slight textual
changes in the protocol proposed by
the British delegates. The subcom
mittee stands adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman, to give the.
non-.Tapanese members time to con-’
fer among themselves.
The Japanese delegates informed
the press that they were ready
discuss questions any time their col
leagues desired.
“We hope the time will come
soon,” they added.
M. Folitis, former Greek foreign
minister, said:
“The dominating snirit of good
will is prevailing among all the dele
gates."
He added that it seemed impossi
ble for the assembly lo go before
the world proclaiming that the gov
ernments would remain indifferent
to the Japanese plea that no solu
tion had been found for the peace
ful regulation of disputes arising out
of so-called domestic problems.
The subcommittee’s meeting was
purely formal and everything await
ed the decision of conference lead
ers.
Warned Against Haste
The subcommittee, acting on M
Loucheur’s advice, decided ther?
was plenty of time for discussion oij
the theory that an over-hasty solu
tion would be worse than none at
all. This attitude on the part of
the delegates is bound to lengthen
the session of the present assembly,
which, it is now foreseen, may last
until the end of the week.
The Japanese insisted that their
only desire was to close up effec
tually all of the loop holes in the
covenant and protocol so that Japan
and the other countries would have
the opportunity to continue media
tion discussions when they had been
thrown out of court on the ground
that the disputed question was pure
ly within the domestic jurisdiction
of the other party.

Klan Comes to Fore
As Major Issue in
Colorado Campaign
DENVER. Col., Sept. 27.—The
Kj Klux Klan is certain to become
a major issue, perhaps overshadow
ing ail others K in the political cam
paign in Colorado.
Democrats, in their platform
adopted late today, vigorously de
no meed the hooded order. Repub
licans, coming out with their plat
form an hour later, completely ig
nored the Issue. The paragraph in
the Democratic platform referring
to the klan, says:
“Notwithstanding these great and
salutary principles, there has been
formed in our midst an organiza
tion known as the Ku Klux Kla*i,
which has injected into the polit
ical affairs of our state questTOKs
of religious opinion and which, by
its practices, seeks to establish cer
tain religious and racial tests as
qualifications for holding public of
fice.”
