In this respect he seems to have suc ceeded to the pre-eminence formerly occupied eo consistently by “Pop" tleers, since that famous Tennessee,an has curtailed the else of his stable and somewhat lessened the strcnuous lty of his endeavors. Murphy. Murphy In 1909 first climbed up to the top of the roster, und since then has led annually with the side excep tion of 1910. In which year he was second. In 1911 he broke all previous records for winnings by sn American driver by pulling down SBO,IIO worth of stakes and purses with horses per sonally etecred by himself. But this record he has completely eclipsed the present season, during which he lias driven In races horses which have won a grand total of $06,*08 tn prize money. This feat he accomplished on the Grand Circuit, to which his cam paign was confined, the opening fire at the Inaugural meeting at Cleveland, and closing with the closing one, at Lexington. Winnings.

SSIS^S^ ENDANGERING OF CATTLE HERDS CHARGE DFID Washington.—Secretary Houston to day formally denied charges made by Western stockmen that the depart ment of agriculture bad reversed Us policy In doallng with the foot and mouth disease epidemic, thereby en dangering millions of cattle. Charges by the stockmen followed issuance of Instructions to Inspectors of the de partment of agriculture not to permit the destruction of live stock In any one herd, where the Infection was found. In excess of $209 In value, with out referring the matter to the bu reau. Formal Denial. Secretary Houston s formal denial of the charges was contained In ldontlcnl telegrams sent today to the Union Stock Yards, the Chicago Livestock ICxchangc and tho National Wool Growers' Association. The telegram In part Is as follows: “The Itureau of Antmnl Industry has not reversed its policy on the and mouth disease, it Is actively pursuing Its general policy of quarantining and destroying diseased animals and also of destroying exposed animals where there 1s any danger. Instructions per mitting the slaughtering of exposed animals for food purposes where there can he no danger of spreading the dis ease are of necessity of limited appli cation and are rigidly construed. To the Utmost. “The department finds tt can make available a lurger amount for eradi cation work than was first thought possible, and will strain its resources to the utmost limit under the law. But under the law governing deficiencies the department can expend only what has been appropriated to It for work In tills field and cannot expend mon ey in excess of such Available funds and especially cannot create a deficit hy spending money for the destruction of cattle and the compensation of owners. . Business Necessity. "Instructions to Inspectors do not permit the destruction of livestock in any one herd In excess of S2OO In value without reference to the bureau Is simply s matter of business necessity for cheeking and accounting. It causea no undue delay and does not impair the efficiency of measures." SUBMARINE AUTOMOBILE TORPEDO IN WARFARE One of the most wonderful weapons of marine warfare that has been de veloped in recent years is the subma rine automobile torpedo, of which very few details have been published. An article In the special war Issue of the Sclent If to American gives a very com plete description, with (lustrations. of this terror of the sea*, from which the following facts are derived: In the present state of the art the work of delivering the vital blow against the ship is entrusted to an automatic, self-controlled, miniature submarine, known as the torpedo. The place of the quartermaster or his equivalent, who In the submarine at tends to the steering In the vertical and horizontal planes. Is taken bv a wonderfully Ingenious and effective automatic steering maclmnism. which. If tt he properly adjusted, will carry the torpedo at an Initial speed of 40 knots unerringly to the mark through a distance of from 7,000 to 10,000 yards. Tho British claim to have de veloped their own submarine to a point at which they will do accurate shooting at the last-named distance. Obviously, the chances of error are Increased In proportion to the distance rrotn the mark, and hence It Is always the aim in torpedo attack to get aa near as possible to the enemy before the torpedo Is launched. It Is In this respect. In addition to Its invtsiblltty. that the submarine Is the beau-Ideal torpedo vessel, and in Uie recent at- tack by German submarines, in which a single blow has been sufficient to send the enemy to the bottom, It Is probable that the submarine crept up, unseen, so close to the victim that it was practically impossible to miss the mark.

To Insure Proper Classification Get Your “WANTS” in Early Tonight The Building World Is Making Ready for Greater Activity Immediately a rift comes in the war cloud and humanity turns its energies to building up the tom-down properties ol the world there will be au increase in the prices of all building materials. , Railroads, our largest users of build ing materials, will be breaking all former records in building and extending activi ty. Foreign countries will be calling for and paying for our building materials just as they are calling for and paying for our horses and mules and food stuffs now. The inevitable result will be a steady and decided permanent increase in the prices of all the different materials that go into the construction of factories and stores. This in turn will mean that whoever expects to build will have to pay a much higher pricee for the erection of the same class of building a few months than they would have to pay now. To build* now is to take advantage of a SURE saving. It is to get better work manship piompter service better grades of material. It is taking advantage of a fjflng market. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14.
