U, S, H1VESTIGATES HOG CHOLERA CURE Fraudulent Cures Foisted on Farmers by Fake Companies. ; . Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for bog cholera, under the impression that this baa been investigated and approved by the United States government, has reached the department of agriculture. Articles praising the medicine, benetol by name, are being sent out broadcast to newspapers. These articles are so -worded that It appears as if the department of agriculture had re ceived reports from the state of Minnesota showing that the medicine had proved most benetclal. As a matter Df fact the one report received by the department was an unofficial and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The Separtment attaches no importance whatsoever to this statement. It has no reason to believe in the efficiency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions it urges farmera to protect their stock with antl-hog-cholera serum, but that is all. ' In connection with this attempt it may be said that the medicine, which la now put forward as good for hogs, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid, and cancer germs, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. At that time it was asserted that the army

was interested in it. As a matter of fact the army was no more interested then than the department of agricul ture is now. In view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impression is persistent and widespread, all hog owners are warned to communicate with the United States authorities before accepting as true any statement that the government recommends any treatment other than the serum already mentioned. Establish First Brewery Here Richmond was the home of the first brewery in Indiana. This information was given a questioner at Columbus asking for information through an Indianapolis newspaper. The answer to the question: When was the first brewery established in Indiana and where? Is as follows: "In 1827 the Public Ledger of that town (Richmond), urging the importance of home industries, said: Two gentlemen immediately from London have recently commenced the establishment of a brewery at this place, which we can not doubt will prove eminently useful to the country and profitable to the proprietors. We can not but add a wish that their wholesome beverage may be used in the place of the burning whisky which is now so common and which does so much mischief to society." ENVIRONMENT HOLDS BACK COLORED MAN That the colored man of today is the victim of an artificial environment created for him by the master white people a century ago and which robbed him of the sensibilities of the white man, is the contention made by George W. Murray, one of the eight colored congressmen which South Carolina has had since the Civil War. Mr. Murray is in Richmond to assist the members of his race to solve the problem by learning what force is holding them back. He is making a tour of the country delivering his message to both races, but especially to the people of his race. Ho will lecture at the Bethel A. M. E. church Monday night on "The Spiritual Man." Mr. Murray believes that the negro was placed in an environment years ago which gave him different manners, customs, habits, ideas and feelings and in fact a different spiritual self than that of a white man. The creation of such a condition was brought about to make the negro servile, Mr. Murray says. "Until the spiritual side of the negro is changed, he cannot harmonize with the white man," Mr. Murray believes. "Although the negro himself, unless he Is analytical, does not realize it, he is laboring under the Impression that the chief difference between himself and the other race is color. The only real difference is in spirit and the color is really a mask which distinguishes hi mas one of that spirit of different men. Unless this spiritual difference is corrected, the negro will continue to reproduce in his present State." BOARD IGNORANT OF RATE SCHEDULE City Attorney Bond has not filed with the state public utilities commission his petition for a further reduction in the joint electric power rate schedule. Board members are as much In ignorance as to when this petition will be filed as are the officials of the Light, Heat & Power company, who were not consulted about preparation of this brief, which contains a tentative schedule which would be as effective for that company as for the municipal plant if adopted. Preparation of such schedules is within the province of the board of public works, as a general rule, but the board played a very minor part in this particular matter. It is generally understood that as soon as the city's petition is filed the Light, Heat Power company intends to enter a protest with the commissioners. This could not be confirmed at the L. H. & P. office, however. M'REYNOLDS SILENT IN NEW HAVEN CASE WASHINGTON, July 15. Indications of any intentionon the part of Attorney General McReynolds to bring criminal prosecution against the directors of the New Haven railroad were lacking today. The attorney general declined to discuss the report of the interstate commerce commission on the robbery of the stockholders and the violation of the anti-trust law, nor would he say anything about the possible action of his department.

CARRAUZA REFUSES TO DELW MARCH Rebels Insist on Entering Mexico City as Conquerors Without Parleys. . WASHINGTON, July 15. With the news that General Huerta's family b.ad left Mexico City, presumably for Vera Crux, guarded by a military train, and the adbication of - Huerta expected hourly, state department officials to

day became mors , anxious over the fate of the Mexican capital than ever. The refusal of General Carranza and his military chief to deal with the Carbajal government, which is to succeed Huerta, has convinced the United States authorities that Mexico City stands in grave danger of bloodshed when the triumphant rebela arrive. . The Constitutionalist representatives in Washington deny any such peril, however. They declare that absolute order . will be maintained, and that while the enemies of the revolution eventually will be punished, there will be no mob outbreak. They refuse to recognize any government at Mexico City, and hence will negotiate no surrender, but will march forward until the situation shall be yielded unconditionally by the military faction "headed by Carbajal. The state department is redoubling its efforts, however, to convince Carranza that he owes the civilized world a pledge that the city shall be obtained by peaceful parley rather than taken by battle. $1.00 sale ,?

DROP AGITATION FOR NAME PLATES The agitation started by members of the Women's Federation of clubs to have sign boards indicating the 6treets placed on poles instead of in the sidewalk, where it is impossible foe. automobllists to see them, has died a natural death, temporarily at least. No action was taken at the meeting of the mayor's advisory board Monday evening nor has any action been taken by any of the city officials outside of the formal endorsement of the idea by the mayor himself. What will result from the suggestion is not known or what further action will be taken by the women's clubs Is uncertain because that most of the clubs interested in the movement have disbanded for the summer and can take no further action until fall. The suggestion has received the endorsement of a large number of citizens, who believe that Richmond should have a better plan of posting the names of the streets in more conspicuous places for the benefit of visitors in the city.
