THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, DEC. 'd,
CONGRESS TO PROBE CAUSES OF SPREAD
OF CATTLE PLAGUE
Experts Place Blame for Prevalence of Foot and
Mouth Disease on Improper Diagnosis. BY A. D. COBB.
Congress has appointed a committee
to probe the cause of the rapid spread of the recent outbreak of the foot and mouth disease, and the quarantine which was ordered in various sections of the country. Information indicates that the committee will give most of Is attention to an investigation of the quarantine, without paying much attention to the facta that caused the spread of the disease. Recent articles in the Breeders' Gaeztte and the Indianapolis "Star direct attention to the fact that the disease gained such an enormous headway in the early stages of the outbreak, because federal oficials and the state veterinarian of Michigan failed properly to diagnose the first cases that apepared and pronounced them as cases of mycotic stomatitis. It is pointed out that if the early appearance of the disease had been properly diagnosed, and proper restrictions enforced, the outbreak would have been
isolated to one county in Michigan. Expert Diagnoses Disease. The bureau of animal industry waited six weeks before sending Dr. Eichorn, a foot and mouth specialist, to Niles, Mich. He at once diagnosed the disease properly, but it was then too late fo prevent its spread all over the country, as much live stock had been shipped out of the infected regions through Chicago and other large shipping points. This negligence on the part of the bureau has cost the states and nation several million dollars, and while the disease is checked, there is every possibility that it may break out again in the spring. The quarantine was a necessary evil and was effective in checking the disease. If it is true that the investigating committee will try to place the blame on bureau oficials for establishing the quarantines, a great injustice may be done. To place the blame where it belongs, the committee should turn its attention to an investigation of the reasons for the failure of the state veterinarian of Michigan and bureau inspectors properly to diagnose the disease. I tseems that these men were directly responsible for the great financial loss which has been incurred.

A crew of 150 herdsmen will drive the cattle to their new quarters from the international amphitheatre at the stock yards where they will have been confined for nearly three months. Althought nearly all of the herd contracted the disease, none died and all are now apparently cured.

HUERTA'S FOLLOWERS CAUSE NEW CLASHES Zapataistas Demand Execution of All Officers in Old Federal Army. BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. A newMexican peril gave administration officials fresh cause for concern today. It was the threatened clash between Generals Zapata and Villa over the granting of property to followers of General Huerta. Official advices over night to the Washington government indicated that the situation at Mexico City was full of uncertainty and officials privately admitted that the apparent discord between the chiefs of the north and south might prove a menace to the peace of the republic. According to the reports to the state department, the Guttlerez-Villa element believes that fair trials should be given to the officers who formerly
servea in the federal army. The Zapatistas are said to favor summary execution of all who held office under the Huerta or Carbajal regimes. The climax of the dispute is expected to be reached at the national convention which is to meet in Mexico City on January 1 to choose a new provisional president and officials are looking forward to this event with some apprehension.
