DAIRY MEN BOW TO QUARANTINE Foot and Mouth Diseased Cattle to Be Killed. INJUNCTION WRIT IS QUASHED State Regulations So Strictly Enforced That Farmers Were Unable to Sell Their Products—Chicago Milk Supply Was —-Threatened— Quarantine in Kansas Counties. CHICAGO, ILL. — Strict enforcement of quarantine regulations brought the farmers of Kane county to time, and they will no longer try ti pre\ ent the killing of cattle infected with the foot and mouth disease. Sitting at Geneva, Judge C. E. Irwin dissolved the injunction he issued sonic weeks ago against the state veterinarian restraining him from killing cattle found to be affected with the disease. The hearing was attended by scores o* farmers, who had driven for miles c v ei ice-coated roads to urge that the injunction be dissolved. They told the judge that, alter the issuance of the injunction the state had imposed such stringent quarantine regulations'; that they could no longer market" their-milk, their butter, their grain or their hay. Business Is Ruined. As a result the business of practically all the farmers of the county was brought to a standstill and their income practically cut off because a few farmers wished to protect herds 4 of valuable cattle which had become infected with the disease. It was arJ gued that the whole county ought not *tc be made to suffer for the benefit of the few. It- was pointed out that Since the irjunction was issued the state and federal governments haa done .practically nothing, wipe out the disease ■ ia the district, but had i-eiled solely on the most stringent quarantine ever ordered to check the spread of the disease to other districts. . Milk Supply Reduced. Chicago was almost as vitally interested tn the situation as Kano county. It was that I^2,OTQ gallons of milk a day were shut out by the quarantine, and that the ban on the shipment of grain and hay had much to do with the advance of prices of those commodities in this market. It is thought now that the state will reverse its policy, and that as soon as the known infected herds of cattle are disposed of the quarantine will be lifted and the products of Kahe county allowed to go to market again. Quarantine in Kansas. WASHINGTON. — Four Kansas counties —Sedgwick, Sumner, Butler and Crowley—were quarantined by the department of agriculture because of the foot and mouth epidemic. An oi iginal order quarantining the whole state was recalled following receipts • of reports showing the situation was not critical throughout the state.

EFFORT TO BLOW UP BRIDGE FAILS German Dynamites Canada-U. S. Structure Across Border. HE WOULD STOP WAR TRAINS Werner Von Horn Admits That He Did the Deed —Declares He Acts in Authorized German Capacity —International Complications Are Seen as Result. Montreal, Feb. 3.—Werner Van Horn, the German secret service offit cer who blew up the Canadian Pacific | rcilroad bridge at Vanceboro and ! brags of it, has projected another unpleasant international problem into the somewhat tangled relations between Great Britain and the United States. Canadian officials here believe that this was his deliberate plan, or rather ttfat he was the instrument of a plot conceiv.ed for this purpose by a German society in New 1 ork. From a strictly military standpoint there was nothing to be g.«fitied. Neither troops nor supplies are being carried over this road through Maine. Bit the international possibilities are m.any. , The bridge is jointly owned [ by an American and Canadian com- , psny, the Maine Central and Cana- ; dian Pacific railroad. It has one end in the States and one in Canada. [ Had Blue Print*. , Aan Horn, while careful to dyna- • mite the Canadian end, was careful - alsc to cross into American territory L c y ime - He invited, Instead ; of'avoiding arrest,'and whefi'Thten > by the United States authorities not [ oulj admitted his guilt but supplied evidence of it- in the shape of- blue - prints and dynamite caps. The thus created is peculiar. He claims liis offense is a legitimate act of war and punishable only by the enemy as a political crime. If h; s contention is correct he can not be extradited, npr can he be punished in the States for an offense committed in Canada. The only immediate result apparent , is a renewal of the military guards on all railroad bridges a<nd culverts. These guards had been kept' on day and night since the war began until a few weeks ago. Nothing had hap- . pened anywhere so vigilance was relaxed. Passengers who were on the Boston and Montreal trains and were delayed at Vanceboro describe Van Hern as a. military looking man about* middle age, respectably dressed and , very talkative. While they were in the station waiting for their cars to b.e pushed across the bridge Van Horn talked quite freely with those who Sought speech with him. Among the statements which he made was one to the effect that he had secured the explosives which he used on the Canadian sidt of the border according to a prearranged plan. He arrived in Vanceborc only on Saturday last and had them in his possession a short time - after. He also had blue prints on his per- > son showing the location of the bridge, its approaches and other fix- ’ tures. Seme Private Property Damaged. f Passengers report that , while" the bridge had been considerably injured the dynamite had not been placed so ( as to do the damage desired by Van Horn and his associates, if he had , any. There had also been some damage done to private property near by . from the concussion, some panes ,of glass being broken in neighboring houses and a saw mill. The town was aroused from slumber by the explosion and while the citizens at once hurried but. to find t w hat the cause was, Van Horn quietly , sought his bed at the hotel on the ; American side of the line and was scon in slumber. A short tipie later, , however, he was aroused and placed ; under arrest. . Just before the train pullqd out tjie ; passengers saw him taken fronj the depot to the police station. The only ; things he refused to talk abont were hi’s place of residence and his•’ associates in this business. ■ t q , Canada Asks Extradition. . ... Ottawa, Ont., Feb.
