WASHINGTON, t. C, Jan. Fpcil
from a Ftaff Corrrspomlpnt Before
fearlnc Washing-ton for th. noll4ajr re
cesa, Congressman floa.ii aubmlttnd an
Inquiry to tha Bureau of Animal In
dustry relative to tha resulta and nror
ress achieved by the Investigation and
eradication of hog cholera and demon
stration of beat methods looking toward
that end as carried out In Johnson and
tha north half of Gage counties. Dr.
Melvln, chief of the bureau, directed that
a. reply be prepared, the body of which
la - as follows:
In reply you are adrlsed that the bur
eui began work in that district In the
form of a survey, in the late fall of
1913. The actual treatment of ' herds,
however, did not begin until March 31,
1914. The following table shows the num
ber of hogs raised and the number lost
from cholera the last three years:

The work of the bureau In Infected

Number of hogs lost from cholera.... l.s.'

The losses in these herds without treat
ment would have been M per cent or
1S,13, Instead of l.9 (10 per cent), in
dicating a saving of 12,254 hogs, which It
Is fair to estimate would have a mar
ket value of $10 per head or l12?.Mn,
The value of the experiment in pre
venting the spread of infection to other
herds, of Course, cannot be conveniently
estimated.' It appears, however, that this
should be regarded as a great part of
the work as there have been only seven
outbreaks in the district since the first
of; October, 116, and apparently there are
none at this time.
A. V. MELV1N, Chief of Biiresu.
Congressman Hloan is quite gratified
with the results of this United Plate
government enterprise and believes that
the investigation pursued In this area,
the methods developed and the results
demonstrated wfll be of great value to
not only th area directly Involved, but
td the swine raisers of Nebraska and
adjoining; states who will take advantage
of the lessons to be drawn from this
government enterprise. The congressman

Dartug the Utter yeara of his service
lu Omaha, iiisUop Bcannell has devoted
much time and thought to the comple

magnificent structure that U to cost
nearly a half million dolUra would be
completed for the celebration of the silver
jubilee of the bishops consecration as

place. However, before the time of hi
death the bishop was able to see clearly
ahqad to the completion of the structure
in which he took so much pride.

members of the church over whom he
ministered. He waa regarded as a warm

those who had: no cups' scooped It up in
th hollows of thclf hatio.'. VVlrti'ln half
an hour' other stores had been looted
and 'the fir wa spreading rapidly.
I.eraer aisrra Attacked. .
For fully an hour or more the jtio!
waa content with the email shops ' and
saloons on the side streets, but then It
turned its attention to the more preten
tious stores on "Wilson avenue, the main
street. '
By this time It had lost all semblance
of leadership, and splitting up Into band
of a doxen or more, went madly about
the work of destruction. Saloon eft el
saloon was broken Into, looted and fired,
the flames spreading to business build
ings on the street. Fanned by a strong
wind the fire spread up the hill and many
residences were burned.
Mayor W. 11. Cunningham and ten
poltocmen of the village early realized that
the situation waa beyond them -and
gathered at the police atallon at the
west end of the business district. Sheriff
J. C. Umstead conferred with. Mayor Cun
ningham, who admitted he was unable,
to atop the" rioting.- Thl condition the
sheriff reported to General Speaks, who
had been sent to look ovejr the Situation,
and te Lieutenant Colonel Weybrecht of
Alliance, who accompanied General
.tipcfclM. It waa then the call waa sent
for elate troops.
Rioters Ueeoaae Drank,
Meanwhile the rioting had been In pro
gress for several hours and -It was seen
that th business section could not be
saved. Kvery minute the Crowd seemed
te grow watll. there were hundreds of
dslnk-crasad men and women roaming the
atrvet. The fire 'department had been
called out at the first alarm, but the
hose waa quickly cut to nieces and, help
lees they called on the Youngstown fire
department. Chief Joseph Wallace had
men and equipment ready to acnj from
tha rlty. ' but found Jt was useless to
risk lives and property aa long aa the
mob held the town.
Scenes of the wildest disorder were
every hire enacted. and the f(rea
mounted higher and higher until toward
10 o'clock Wilson avenue, for the entire
length of th village, was in flames.
Absolutely no attempt waa being made to
ettlnguUh the flames or ssve tho thous
ands or dollars In property being carried
away or destroyed. Early In the evening
the mob attacked the postofflce and
robbed the strong box, before applying
the torch to the building.
One of the handantnekt building In the
( village waa th banking house of. U. V.
Illamory. A saloon that stood next to the
bank waa looted and fired and the flames,
spreading to the bank, Boon doomed tht
, structure. -
One Man te Killed.
A dry goods store, nesr Seventh street
and Wilson avenue, shared a building
with a saloon. The particular party of
rioters who selected It for their . prey
made the mistake of attacking the dry
goods store first. As they approached the
door a man appeared at a window In
the living quarters above the store and
fired one shot from his revolver. A rioter,
wbe had not been Identified this morn
ing, fell dead in th street and the revt

town had fied. Many families came to
Youngstown and others took the street'
cars to communities farther away; a the
conviction was growing' that If th dis
order spread to Youngstown nothing
could save the city. Finally a dozen or
more citizens, led by Oscar Dlser. city
Solicitor of Kast Youngstown and former
member of the Ohio legislature, gathered
at the police station and pleaded with the
police and other city official to attack
the rioters.' It was almost midnight be
fore a force of some forty armed men
had been gathered in Wllspn avenue.
Then with plser to lead them they moved
down the street.' '' .;
' Only a block away the rioters were
looting In the block and the citizens fired
over their heada. They broke and ran.
but finding no one had been killed, they
turned and sent shots toward ttie posse.
No one was hurt and th posse fired
again. This tlm half a dozen or more
rioter went down and th mob tore
down the street. The panic gathered
strength, and scores of men, their pock
ets bulging. with loot, stumbled over
each other In a mad rush to get away.
The posse followed closely and wherever
possible chased tha rioter into side
streets, men being detached from among
the cltiaena to round them up. In half
an hour Wilson avenue had been almoat
cleared of th mob, out small squads
were scattered about th hillside. Aa fast
aa poaalbt these men were driven by
main force to th police station and auto

were taken to 'the Mahoning county jail

Clearing the street gave the Youngs
town fir departm-U an opportunity to
get Into East Youngston and men and
equipment were rushed to the village.
There was still some work for them to
do and water was thrown on the roiii
the rest of the night, but the wreck
wrought by the mob waa almost com
plete. By daybreak the walla of many
of the brick buildings burned began to
tter and fall and the principal streets
were roped off and sightseers excluded.
What became of the mob when It fled
before the bullets of the poe has not
yet been determined, although It Is
known that hundreds of men streamed
along country roads leading out of Kast
Youngstown, while many other mad
their way Into Youngstown.
At daybreak the troop trains arrived
and the military took the situation In
hand. .
YOfNOSTOWN, O., Jan. (.-Answering
an appeal from citizens of fttruthers,
General . Speaks sent two companies of
militia to the village for protection from
rioting there. The message stated that
a mob ha formed and is engaged hv a
general fight In the streets, men shoot
ing and beating each other up. ,
Two hundred citizens of Etruthers,
across the Mahoning river, opposite Kast
Youngstown, ' armed thenwlveg today
and massed at a bridge to repel a threat
ened invasion of strikers. Fifty pounds 1
of dynamite waa placed beneath'' the
brldgo and an electrical connection eras
made ready to blow it up the rtyment
a mob started across.
Later report said that the situation at
Ftruther waa under control, bnt troop
would be kept on duty there to prevent
further trouble.
General Ppeaks and Lieutenant Colonel
Weybrecht, related today how they
were fired upon last night by strike sym
pathizers In Kast Youngstown.
"We were Just beyohd the bridge lead
ing Into the plant where the first shots
were fired," said Colonel Weybrecht. "I
noticed rioters aiming their guns In our
direction and auggented to Genera
Speaks .that we move over a little, 'Oh,
no,' said Speaks. 'Let's take It alt in,'
and we did. We came near taking in all
the bullets In the neighborhood, for Jut
them fhe strikers were fired upon by the
guards and they returned the fire."
Neither officer was armed at the time.
They had gone to the scene in civilian
clothes to make a survey of the situation.
Senate Committee
Reports Favorably
On Suffrage Motion
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. . The
Hunan B. Anthony amendment providing
for woman suffrage waa reported favor
ably today to th senat by th suffrage
committee.
"In our opinion every principle upon
whlvh universal manhpod auffrage rests
demands the' extension of its prlvlligea
and responsibilities to women, 7 said th
report. "They are object to th laws,
are taxed for th support of government
and subject with men to a common politi
cal destiny." - ' -
After pointing out that th government
of U United State Is on of th dele
gated power, the report gay:
"Manhood auffrage ha been from tlm
to time extended. Every enlargement of
the franchise ha "been a natural and.
logical development of tha principle ot
popular sovereignty. We may assume
that universal male suffrage U an estab

"Neither logically nor Justly, therefore,
can unlimited suffrage be recognized as
an essential to our republican form of
government and Its existence at the some
time be limited to one-half ot the people,
arbitrarily segregated from the other half
by the difference of sex.
"Women'a activities, her participation,
her sacrifice and her misfortunes In the
great conflict now raging over three con
tinents, have for all time disposed of the
contention that aho ahould not be armed
with the ballot because she cannot wield
the sword.":
The report was signed by Senators
Thomaa, Owen and Mollis, democrats, and
Sutherland, Clapp and Jones, republicans.
8onator Ranbdell, democrat, voted for the
report, but hi name did not appear on
