EPIDEMIC KILLING
HOGS NEAR TUCSON
j TUCSON". Feb. f. Although only a
cursory investigation has been made
by County Agricultural Agent C. B.
Brown as to the extent of the epi
demic of hemorrh?ceic septicemia
among hog herds, the agent estimates-!
that the disease has gained great
I headway among herds ot the county
land that more than 100 bead of hogs
I. .. . .. . , .,,, j
I have died after becoming afflicted
known to have lost 60 head.
Mr. Brown further declares that
from his observations during the past
few days it appears that most of the
hogs becoming afflicted with the dis
ease are slop-fed hogs. The disease is
usually fatal in that It brings on
hemorrhages.
E. J. Gotthelf, county physician,
when appraised of the epidemic, de
clared that action should be taken at
once to stamp out the disease. He
particularly stressed the need of boil
ing slop before fedding it to hogs.
In this manner the germs likely to
be contained in such feed would be
killed, be said.
Just how long tbe disease has been
prevalent among tbe herds of Pima
county is problematical, says Mr.
Brown. .However, from statements
made by several bog raisers it Is ap
parent that the disease has been in
process of spreading for several
months, the owners ot the herds ap
parently being unaware of the malady
with which they bad become afflicted.
From one herd it has spread to anoth
er until it is feared that a large num
ber of herds of the county have be
come Infected.
It is declared that one of the best
methods of eradicating the disease
and preventing its spread is to burn
all carcasses -at once. It is said that
serum Is used effectively in fighting
tbe disease.

OVER OFFICE TODAY
PHOENIX. Feb. 8. Frank R. Stew
art will take charge of the office ot
collector of internal revenue this
morning. Yesterday was given to
checking out Judge Alfred Franklin
and that work was completed.
Speaking ot his visit to Washing
ton, Mr. Stewart said yesterday that
he was quite confident that the per
manent tariff bill would carry a tariff
of 5 cents on long staple cotton.
Some opposition had developed
from the New England mills, hut he
thought that that bad been offset in
a great measure by tbe agricultural
conference, which wascomposed of
strong, representative men from all
parts of the country, who had ably
presented the claims of the tanners.
The president, too, had left no
doubt in his address at the opening
of the conference of his sympathy
with the farmer. Many congressmen
who had not been favorably inclined
toward a tariff on cotton, said Mr.
Stewart, had come to take a friend
lier view.

BENSON
ASHURST AGAIN
' FLAYS VOTE ON
NEWBERRY CA
WASHINGTON', Teu. S. The Xew.
t
berry election ca-e was the cause of
another sharp partisan clash today in
th- benati-. Democrats taking -vigorous
exception to remarks by Senator
t
Pepper, Republican, Pennsylvania, in
a speech last night at Albany. N. Y.
In Mi address. Senator Pepper said
that the Democrats in the Newberry
. fight "mouthed about the honor of the
I senate and the integrity of the indi-
vidtial, and then they proceeded to
tarnish that honor and imralr that ia
tegrity by voting like a flock of
sheep."
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona
called the senate's attention to the re
marks of Senator Pepper, and charac
terized them, as did other Democrats,
as an imputation of dishonorable
action.
Pepper was not present when the
question was brought up but arrived
during tbe afternoon and just before
the senate adjourned, had a spirited
engagement with Senator Ashurst.
1 Ashurst Flays Pepper.
Questioned by Senator Ashurst,
( Pepper eald he had been quoted cor
rectly and added he had assumed that
i
senators would consider the Newberry
case judicially and that this apparent
ly had been done by the Itepublisans,
in view of their division on tbe voti!
seating Senator Newberry.
The question of honor, he declared,
was raised by the Democrats.
"I chose to accept that issue, only
1 reversed the sides," be said.
Senator Ashurst inquired whether
Pepper considered that the Republi
berry had violated their honor and
whether Pepper was "excusing or cv.
doning them."'
Senator Pepper replied that his re
marks on the question of honor in
the voting did not apply to any sena
tors who dissented from the recent
remarks of Senator Reed, Democrat.
MisessxL The latter had attacked the
supporters of Senator Newberry, and
said there "was not a senator who
voted for this resolution (seating the
Michigan member) who did not brand
In red letters above and across bis
political record the word 'dishonor'."
Discussion Is Closed.
Senator Ashurst replied that Sena
tor Pepper had "avowed and said
that every Democratic senator ( vot
ing against Newberry) had stained
bin soul with .dishonor, hut that the
Republicans did not."
The discussion closed when Sena
tor Ashurst asked that 8enator Pep
per's speech and the majority resolu
tion seating Senator Newberry be
printed in parallel columns in tbe
Congressional Record. Senator Spen
cer, Missouri, Republican, objected
and tbe request was denied.
This resolution has been attacked
earlier in the day from tbe Demo
cratic side as "stultifying, and Sen
ator Ashurst said that it condemned
the vast expenditures In tbe Ne
berry case bat supported Senator
Newbrry.
