ENGLAND PAYS FINAL HONORS TO jjEAD HERO Lord Roberts Body to be Removed From France to England for Memorial Services.

BUILDINGS DRAPED Sacrificed Life to Visit Indian Troops After Promising to Inspect Colonial Forces of England. BY LEA8ED WIRE. LONDON, Nov. 16. All that is mor tal of "Bobs," the military hero of modern England, will be laid to rest in the quaint little cemetery of All Saints church at Ascot, according to tentative plans announced here today. The war office was notified that the body of Earl Roberts, who died of pneumonia Saturday evening while on a visit to the Indian troops in France, would probably reach London on Thursday. The funeral service over the warrior who was an inspiration to his soldiers and his friends, will be of a simple nature, in connection with his wishes, but England will pay her trib ute to the late field marshal in a J great memorial service at Westmin-i ster. This will be attended by King' George and Queen Mary and members of their family, the cabinet and all the high officials of the government. Keeps His Word. It became known today that Earl Roberts sacrificed his life to keep a promise. When the Indian troops reached France, their commander telegraphed "Bobs" that his men would appreciate a visit from him. Earl Roberts replied with a message of appreciation, at the same time telling when he would come. When the field marshal reached France the weather had become very bad, and he was advised not to go to the front. "My boys expect me and I am going,'" was the reply of "Bobs." He went and at times was subjected to exposure being drenched to the skin. Pneumonia quickly developed and he died among soldiers, as he had lived. HOW TO HELP. There are hundreds of men out of work, and there are hundreds of persons who have little odd jobs around the house that would keep a man employed a day. The Palladium asks persons who have chores that need to be done, yards and barns to be cleaned, and other little jobs for men to telephone to the office. The Palladium will gladly see that unemployed men are informed of these opportunities to obtain employment for a day. QUOTATIONS FAIR ON COTTON EXCHANGE BY CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK.

The market opened steady, but there was not much trading during the first half hour. The prices were far under the quotations when the market closed in July, but in view of what has happened since then, the traders were satisfied that the figures quoted for cotton today were at fair levels.

FARMERS WILL MEET TO PREVENT ENTRANCE OF PLAGUE IN COUNTY

A meeting of farmers and stock men of Wayne county for the purpose of perfecting means for the prevention of the spread of the foot and mouth disease of cattle and hogs within the county limits, has been called for Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the south court room at the court house. The fact that the disease has broken out within several miles of the county line, has caused great uneasiness among local farmers, and the offices of veterinaries and health officials have been flooded with questions. The call for the mass meeting of farmers has been issued by the Farm Service Department of The Palladium under direction of A. D. Cobb, former county agricultural agent. The movement has been sanctioned by Dr. Lou Clem, recently appointed an assistant state veterinarian, during the out - break of the disease, and Dr. C. O. Wagoner, government veterinary inspector at the Stolle packing plant. Local veterinarians and health officers will co-operate in the holding of the meeting. Speakers Invited. Dr. F. A. Balser, the assistant state veterinarian, located at New Castle, and Dr. R. A. Craig, chief of the veterinary department of Purdue university, have been asked to address the meeting. The call for the meeting was issued at tne suggestion of farmers from various parts of the county who visited The Palladium office Saturday in quest of information regarding the disease. Dr. Lou Clem has secured evidence from the freight agents at all the shipping points in the county that no cattle from infected regions have been sent into Wayne county since the outbreak of the disease. While this is true there are many other ways of introducing the disease into the county. Cases of the disease have been discovered at Union City and at Eaton, O., and a herd of 65 cattle shipped from Chicago just previous to the closing of the yards there, is being nem under suspicion by the Ohio stats authorities on the Shafer farm lust across the state line from Wavne county. Finds No Diseaa. Dr. Wagoner inspected these cattle yesterday and found no indications of the disease, but their presence Is causMURPHY MAY BLOCK SALE OF CHI-CUBS Charles Webb Murphy, former president of the Chicago Cubs, who is reported to be the one stumbling block in the way of completing the sale of the club to Charles Weeghman, the Federal League magnate. "Chubby Charles" is said to have demanded an txhorbitant sum for the purchase of the stock he controls and that Weeghman has balked at paying so large a figure. CHARITY DISCUSSES PECULIAR CASES A meeting of the Central council of the charity bureau was held Saturday. There was an attendance of sixteen The meeting was presided over by Prof. D. D. Ramsey, principal, of Whitewater school. Secretary Melpolder stated several cases on which he has been working. Open discussions as to the proper methods of treatment followed. The time of the meetings may be changed again after next Saturday. The meetings are scheduled to open at 2 o'clock but few appeared at the appointed time Saturday.

The herd is valued at $6,000 Dr. Clem said today: "Wayne county has a splendid chance to avoid an outbreak of the disease if the farmers will get together and observe strict preventative measures." Approves Step. In speaking of conditions hefe Dr. Wagoner said: "I do not want to be a calamity howler, and it would seem that we had a good chance to evade an outbreak of the disease here, but ! with outbreaks in the immediate vicinlty of the county borders, there are too many chances of contracting the disease to neglect taking every step possible to ward off the danger. A meeting of the farmers now may mean the saving of thousands of dollars to the county." Charles Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, said: "By all means we should have a meeting to meet this danger. It not only affects our farmers but many of the commercial interests of the city. The Commercial club will stand behind any movement to ! protect the county." Farmers Invited. It has been pointed out that while the danger of infection from cattle shipped into the county is small, the creameries and produce houses are receiving milk and butter and feed from infected regions, and there is also danger of the disease being carried by human beings coming from infected regions. Every farmer in the county is invited to attend the meeting Thursday to receive information regarding the prevention of the disease, and the proper observance of the state and federal quarantine regulaUons. In many counties of the state the farmers are organizing in co-operation with health officials and county officers to enforce quarantine regulations and if the farmers feel that such steps should be taken here, an organization may be formed for this purpose at the meeting Thursday.

HEART DISEASE CUTS OFF LIFE OF GENN Former Street Commissioner Succumbs to Second Attack Deceased Proved Efficient as Public Officer.

Dorcas C. Genn. 66, one of Richmond's best known citizens, street commissioner for several years, died 1 VUUlUllODiVUVI hi. inn rcy. Minwnth gtreett at 6.'45 c.clock thls mornng from heart disease. He had been in ill health for a year and only a week ago his death was expected when stricken with the same disease, which finally proved fatal to him. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Mr. Genn is survived by the widow, his son, Frank, and bis daughter, Mrs. E. J. Dykeman. For years Genn was actively engaged in politics, being one of the best known Republican leaders in the city. He was a loyal lieutenant of former Mayor Dr. W. W. Zimmerman and in a great way was responsible for the famous Zimmerman organization with which the ex-mayor won several political victories. Helps Build City. Genn was one of the city's most Interesting characters. Blunt and outspoken he delighted In rough and ready debates, from which he frequently emerged triumphant victor. He was an efficient public officer and , it was his boast that during his many years' residence in Richmond he had played an important part in its building, "not with my money because I never had much of that, but with my hands," he recently informed some friends. Genn, slightly deaf, had the habit of most people so affected of speaking loudly, and when taking part in an argument his assertions were always heard. A few days ago he was a caller at the city building. He stated that during the previous night he had almost died from heart disease. "The doctor said I was a gonner but I fooled him." said Genn. "I told him I wasn't a quitter." Genn was first appointed street commissioner May 7, 1900, by council, which elected him over John L. Bennett, who had been serving out the unexpired term of Frank Hunt. The next Zimmerman administration he was re-appointed. When Dr. Schlllinger was elected mayor, Genn was succeeded by Ed Dye, but after Zimmerman succeeded Schillinger, Genn was once more named as street commissioner, which office he held until the Robbins administration came into office. Many of the city's best macadam and paved streets were put down by Genn and he took great pride in them. For three pretty young women ground up in a Grand Trunk railroad wreck, Mrs. Alicia Crowther of Montrose, settled with the company for only 25 each. The women were mad of wax, for models.
