$150,000,000 LOSS
CAUSED IN MEAT
Disease and Exposure Killed Enough
Animals in 1913 to Supply ,
Whole Country.
Washington, April 25. The enormous
sum of $150,000,000 was the aggregate
loss sustained by the United States in
moat animals as the result of distase
and exposure in 1913, according to es
timates announced by the department of
agriculture yisterday.
Ixisacs from disease of cattle, hogs,
and sheep was about $122,000,000, and
losses from exposure of cattle and sheep
about $28,000,000. The loss in meat, it
is declared would have been more than
sufficient to furnish a normal years
supply of meat to the entire population
of the New England states.
The figures indicate a total loss of
7,005,000 hogs, valued at $73,000,000.
This represents more than one billion
pounds of meat destroyed, mostly by
cholera. This loss would have produced
liearTy 800,(100.000 pounds of dressed
meat and bird, which, officials say,
would have been sufficient to furnish
every family in the United States with
an average of four and one-half persons,
about forty pounds.
"If there had been no such loss, it is
stated, prolwbly increasing scarcity of
meat would iiave been largely pre
vented." The hog cholera epidemic of 1913
caused an estimated loss of about $5f.
000,000. "No other animal disease produces
such a loss," says the department. "It
is estimated that in 1913 there were 107
hogs lost per 1,000 from cholera and in
dications point to a further increase un
less preventive .measures arc used. Such
an enormous loss is nothing short of a
calamity."
Co-operation of nil interests concerned,
is urged to combat the disease.
The total loss Of cattle from disease
and exposure- for 1013 is estimated at
1,737,000, valued at $08,611,000, and that
of sheep at 2,124,000 head, valued at $,
581,000. The aggregate losses of farm
horses Rd mules was 523.0(H) head,
valued at $50,100,000. . The losses of
Providence, K. I.,. April 25. A bill to
allow the Southern New England Kail
way company to lease its property to
the Central Vermont Railway company
was introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative lingworthy of West
erly and referred to the committee on
corporations.
The bill is similur to one introduced
last year, except that a clause is added
which would prevent the lease being
made until the terms had been approved
by the public utilities commission. This
was the point which brought out much
discussion last night, because it had not
I been included in the measure. The bill
last year was passed by the assembly,
but was vetoed by Governor Pothier.
Vice President .Tohn S. Murdock of
the Southern New England said that the
lease, if authorized, might run for a
period of 09 years under the act. He
said that the plan is to lease the South
ern New England for a rental sufficient
to meet the interest on the bonus to be
issued by the latter road.
William C Wiss, chairman of the pub
lic utilities commission, stated after a
conference with Governor Pothier ami
V ice President Murdock that in his opin-
i ion the measure was a proper one and
that the interests of the state were
properly safeguarded.
MAN LOSES $75,000 IN JEWELS.

Jack" in Chicago.
Chicago, April 25. William J. Anton,
a jewelry salesman employed by Durand
& company, jewelers at Newark, N. .1.,
intrusted a man Thursday to carry his
sample cases containing jewelry valued
at about $75,000, and as a result the

The salesman told the man, known as
"Honest Jack," to wait for him in fronc
of C. D. Peacock's jewelry store while
he entered to see about a mesh bug, ac
cording to bis story to Lieutenant John
Tobin of the detective bureau. He was
in the store less than five minutes, but
the messenger and his jewelry had vanished.

was the largest group among the 124.916

Washington, April 25. W. 11. Randall
of Boston, of the Emory Steamship com
pany and Khawmut Steamship company,
told the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals, this morning, that the
passage of the tolls repeal bill would
tend to destroy his prolits. If the bill
is passed, said Mr. Randall, it would
cost about $40,000 to $50,000 more per
ship per year. Lumber brought from
Oregon and Washington -state to Bos
ton would pay by rail $24 a thousand
feet, whereas by ship without tolls it
would cost i8 a thousand feet. With
tolls, Mr. Randall said the charge would
be between $11 and $13. 'British ships
from Vancouver, carrying lumber to
Boston, could carry lumber through the
canal and pay tolls of $7.50 to $8.50
ner thousand feet. British competition,
Mr. Randall put forth as an argument
against repeal.
Henry J. Allen, editor of the Wichita
(Kans.) Beacon, said Western men who
had seen commerce driven off the Missis
sippi by unfair railroad competition
wanted American ships exempted from
tolls. ,

How Mirrors Will Make a Room Seem
Larger.
In the May Woman's Home Compan
ion a contributor writes an article en
titled "The liight Mirror in the Right
Place." i The following extract from the
article tella how mirrors rightly placed
add to the attractiveness of a room and
also make a room seem larger:
If a room is small, a well-placed
mireir will reflect a part of another
room and seem to give much more space.
In a medium-sized apartment in New
lork there is a beautiful old (olonial
mirror hung between two windows so
that it reflects part of two rooms with
a window at the end of the vista, and it
gives a feeling of much more space than
is reallv there. In another apartment
exactly like it, just beneath it, where
there is no such arrangement of mirrors,
you feel cramped in comparison."

Dorsey Taylor Building in St. Albans
Damaged by Flames and Water
Woman Rescued Her Baby.
St. Albans. April 25. The Horsey Tai
lor block on North Main street was
flooded with water last night following
a lire originating in the apartment of
.(. H. boldberg, a photographer, who oc
cupies the second floor both as a resi
dence and place of business.
The grocery store of Mr. Taylor and
the store of the ht. Albans Fruit com
pany were badly damaged with water
and smoke, lhe second story was burn
ing briskly when the fire department
arrived, two lines of hose were brought
into play with quick results, but not
until this part of the building was
burned and .scorched in manv nlaces.
Most of the damage, however, was done
by water.
Mrs. Goldberg, with a young daugh
ter, was alone in the building. Her
story is that the tire started by her
dropping a lamp, wlucli exploded, the
tire instantly spreading over the whole
room. She rushed into the bedroom,
grabbed her baby and ran down stairs
to the street.
Insurance was carried on the building
and Mr. Taylor's store. The Goldbergs
carrieu insurance, too,, dui tue truit
store had none. It was not possible last
evening to estimate the damage.
Our Lost Allies.
The expected has happened. Villa and
Carranza, leaders of the constitutional
ist forces of the north of Mexico, dis
like us a little more intensely than they
oo jiuerta, wnom ttiey nave been fight
ing in a most barbaric way. Oarranza,
as the intellectual power behind the re
bellion, asks the president to withdraw
his forces from Vera Cruz. Mr. Wilson
in return quite properly includes with
Iluerta, whom he desires to punish,
"tnose who come to his support. The
Herald has always insisted that the
bandits would not ally themselves with
us, whatever part they might take in the
struggle, or that the alliance, if thev
did, would be worthless. The hostility
along the Rio Grande is too intense for
that; racial feeling is too strong. And
perhaps it is quite as well, to make a
clean job of it, that we are not em
barrassed by any pretended alliance with
such a bloodthirsty bandit as the mili
tary chieftain of the constitutionalist
army. Boston Herald.
