Local Authorities Discover Last Legislature Practically Rendered Void Provision for Test.

MILK STANDARD IS GIVEN A SET-BACK Inspector Flook Says that Hardly Any Cows Have Been Tested This SpringRecord in 1910. By an act defining the duties of the state veterinarian, passed by the last legislature, the tuberculin test for cattle la virtually done away with. Under the present law the state veterinary inspector may make the tuberculin test provided ho finds some evidence of disease among cattle, and that the owner makes no objection to the test. However, It the owner refuses to have the test made, two freeholding farmers of the same township as the owner of the afflicted cattle nay be appointed as a committee to Inspect the herd. As to whether the cattle are diseased, and whether tho test la necessary, their decision Is final. Speaking of the tuberculin test this Morning City Dairy Inspector Charles Flook said that the test is a thing of tho past for Indiana. Mr. Flook do plorea the action of the legislature, because he aaya tho high quality of milk In Richmond Is bound to be lowered as a result. Last year, according to Mr. Flook,. 260 head of cattle were tested, as the dairymen thought they bad to permit It. Some rattle were condemned. But Richmond had the reputation of receiving the best milk In the state. ' ' 1 An Odd Requirement. "You know very well, yourself," said the dairy Inspector, "that by getting two farmers from the same township neighbors mind you a man's cat tle won't be ordered Inspected against his will. And the decision of such a committee Is final." So far this year, Mr. Flook says there has been not a aingle head of cattle tested. The farmers don't want It and they don't have to have It. Flook atates the one dairyman might have the test made and lose a half dosen cows representing a considerable turn of money. He gets no more for his milk than the other fellow who does not have his cattle tested. The tuberculin test unless universal. Is practically worthless, according to Mr. Flook, for milk is often sold from wagon to wagon, thus the bad being mixed with the good. "I am afraid," said Flook, "that this year's record as to the number of cattle tested will fall far below that of last year. The spring Is the time to test the cattle, even earlier than April, and that time has now passed. More cattle were tested In Richmond last year, than any city In the state regardless of siie." . It Is said that a delegation from Gary, Ind., was responsible for the paaaage of the amendment which practically kills the tuberculin test requirement. Watting until the cattle show outward evidence of the disease Is too late for the tuberculin test, Mr. Flook ays. for It haa been observed In many ' Instances by cattle experts that the finest specimens show reaction after being tested. Some almost perfect appearing animals are badly Infected, the test shows. Some time ago Mr. Flook and Government Inspector Wagner, were greatly worried because of the prevalence of hog cholera In the county, but now thero Is apparently little of this dangerous , disease. However, Mr. Flook says In the spring there Is not usually much cholera. , TO ENJOIN S. S. I. A. FENCE BUILDING Hannah Waking and Henry II.

BAD FIRE III THE ;:MAS0IIC -TEMPLE Early Discovery of Blaze in Dykeman Office Saved the Building. The Masonic Temple was threatened with destruction by fire last night, when a blaze started in the dentist office of' Dr. E. J. Dykeman, from a gas jet which had been left burning. The fire was discovered by members of the Richmond lodge of Masons, meeting on the third floor. Though the office was closed the fumes of burning wood came from the suite of rooms, and soon the entire upper portion of the building was filled with smoke. Members of the lodge dashed to the second floor where the dentist office is located. Tho fire could be seen

through the glass door. A few minutes later the fire department arrived, broke down the door, and extinguished the blaze before more than $150 worth of damage had been done, principally to the wood work and dentistry tools. , The gas had set fire to the wooden partition.' which seperates Dr. Dykeman's office, from that of R. G. Leeds. Both of these . offices were damaged by smoke. Chief Ed Miller of the fire department says that had. there been no meeting in the Masonic hall, the fire would have gained a tremendous start and it probably would have been hard to save the building. He spoke of the place as a bad one for a fire. -Miller said the fire companies "had been lucky" of late. In being called to fires before great -headway had been gained by the flames. i ODD FELLOWS EVEIIT Today Ninetieth Anniversary of This Order. ' (American News Service) , Baltimore,, Md., April 26.

Determined Effort Will Be Madto ' Have Repair atid Terminal, Yards Located in 4 This City.

C. & O4OPFICIAL TO ARRIVE LATE TODAY Plans for Improvement Said to Provide or an Expenditure of Over Half-Million Dollars. A determined effort to yet land for Richmond repair shops and terminal freight yards for which the C. & O. railroad company is said to have drawn specifications and plans that call for an expenditure of about $500,000, will be made by a committee of some twenty-live or thirty representatives of the Young Men's Business club and the Commercial club this afternoon when they will confer with President George W. Stevens of the C. O. at the north end station and endeavor to persuade him that Richmond is the logical and most advantageous point for the location of these improvements. An inspection of several sites In the southern part Of the city was made today by a special committee of busi ness men In order to learn definitely just what suitable property is obtainable for the company's use. The committee is confident that a tempting of fer can be made to the company des pite the recent declarations of the of ficials of the road that the decision of the jury in the South N street open ing case rendered useless the only lo cal site suitable for yard purposes. Are To Try Hard. The business men of the city and the two-y; coaimerciaLworganJzatlons seem . resolved to secure the location of the shops and yards here if it is at all possible. They believe their con ference with President Stevens this afternoon will go a long way towards accomplishing this end. It is upon three main points that the local men seek to persuade the company to locate its yards and shops here First because Richmond is the logical freight terminal in point of distance between Cincinnati and Peru; second, because Richmond affords just as good a site for yards as does Losantville or the Druley farm, south of the city, now being considered by the company, and has the advantages of the city in addition; third, because residences are to be had at once for the employes of the company, eliminating the neces sity of houses having to be built as would be the case at Losantville or on the Druley farm ; and finally, because Richmond manufacturers and mer chants would turn more business over to the C. & O. if the shops and yards were established here, out of appreciation, although the company is not to be boycotted if another location is chosen. An effort will be made by the com mittee to have President Stevens to stop over in the city for several hours in order that the matter may be placed before him at length, but it is feared Mr. Stevens will not consent to being detained that long. President Stevens' stop here to confer with the local men regarding the shop and yards is due largely to a letter sent him by a committee appointed for that purpose at the last directors' meeting of the Young Men's Business club. After congratulating the company on the business like methods which have characterized the management of the road since it came under the control of the C. & O., the letter reads in part as follows: Letter to Stevens. "From the attitude of the officials of your road,-who have always come into contact with members of our organization, we believe you are Interested in the upbuilding of Richmond on account of your holdings here. We, as citizens and business men. are keenly interested in Richmond, and we believe that no other city in Indiana has its business on a more solid foundation, and has more favorable prospects than ' Richmond. We are anxious to judiciously boost this city, and we believe that the interests of Richmond and of the C. & O. railroad, are so far mutual that we can cooperate to a great extent in our efforts." , "At present we are particularly interested In having your company make extensions here, as are con sistent with the advantageous man agement of your road. We understand your company is now contem plating the establishment of yards and repair ' shops, in. or near Richmond, and if consistent for your company to (Continued on Page Six.)
