LIVE STOCK MOVES AGAIN IN INDIANA

Michigan and West Virginia Also Have Foot and Mouth Disease Quarantine Raised. Washington, Oct. B.—All federal restrictions on the movement of live stock because of the foot and mouth disease are removed from the states of Indiana, Michigan and Virginia by a department of agriculture order made public tonight to become effective tomorrow. This leaves the whole country with the exception of northern Illinois, practically free from quarantine. Small areas in Steuben county, New York, in Hudson county, New Jersey, and the so-called “Meek” in Philadelphia still are under a modified form of quarantine, however, and a part of the West Philadelphia stock yards are in the restricted area. With these exceptions the quarantine imposed as a result of the outbreak in 1914, all have been removed. In northern Illinois a considerable territory now is in the closed area on account of an outbreak of the disease which occurred in August. The Union stock yards in Chicago are maintained as a restricted area, handling live stock for immediate slaughter only.
