EVENTS OF THE WEEK. 
D OMESTIC.—Gov. Blease of South 
Carolina signed a blanket pardon 
Jan. 9 for 1,100 prisoners, who had been 
previously paroled by him “during good 
behavior,” and in addition paroled 40 
men serving terms in the penitentiary 
and on county chain gangs. Gov. Blease, 
since taking office four years ago, has ex¬ 
tended clemency to 2,700 prisoners. 
Among those liberated were 500 prisoners 
convicted of manslaughter and 21 charged 
with assaults or attempts. There are 
now less than 100 prisoners left in the 
State penitentiary, which has more 
guards than inmates. 
The Government of Canada, through 
the British Ambassador at Washington, 
has expressed its regret to the American 
authorities over the shooting of two 
United States citizens by Canadian mili¬ 
tiamen, and stated its willingness to 
compensate the family of the deceased 
and the wounded man. The three militia¬ 
men, Corporal Archie Kaye, Private Ed¬ 
mund McIntosh and Private Leslie Ivine- 
man, and Constable Thomas Delaney had 
been arrested charged with manslaughter, 
by order of the Canadian Attorney Gen¬ 
eral. 
The Henry M. Flagler, the first ferry¬ 
boat to be operated between Key West 
and Havana in connection with the 
Florida East Coast Railway, arrived at 
Havana from Key West Jan. 8. 
That a conspiracy to corrupt the elec¬ 
tion of November 3, 1914, in Terre Haute 
has existed was admitted by 80 men, who 
before Judge A. B. Anderson, in the 
United States District Court, Terre 
Haute, Ind., Jan. 12, pleaded guilty to 
an indictment returned by the Federal 
Grand Jury the day before Christmas. 
Eight others of the 114 defendants 
pleaded not guilty, while demurrers were 
filed for the remaining 20 prisoners, in¬ 
cluding Mayor I)onn M. Roberts, Circuit 
Judge Eli H. Rodman, City Judge Thomas 
Smith, Sheriff Dennis Shea and other 
city and county officials. Eight of the 
80 who pleaded guilty were employes, or 
former employes, of the Terre Haute 
city administration. 
An anti-alien land ownership bill was 
introduced in the House of Representa¬ 
tives of the Legislature at Boise, Idaho, 
Jan. 13., by Representative Anderson. 
It prohibits the ownership of land in the 
State by any alien who has not declared 
his intention of becoming a citizen of the 
United States, with the exception of 
those receiving land through inheritance 
or the execution of lien. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—One case 
of human foot and mouth disease was 
reported from Baltimore, Jan. 10. The 
patient was said to be recovering. It 
was asserted that he had contracted the 
disease through taking infected milk. 
Determined to get relief from condi¬ 
tions in the live poultry trade, which 
have resulted in assaults, murder and a 
general feeling of terror, a committee 
representing shippers, receivers, jobbers, 
speculators, wholesalers and retailers, in 
conference in New York, Jan. 11, with 
Commissioner of Weights and Measures 
Joseph Hartigan, unanimously approved 
a plan suggested by Mr. Hartigan that 
the United States Government through 
the Bureau of Animal Industry take over 
as an interstate proposition the entire 
supervision of all live poultry destined 
for the New York market. It was also 
agreed that the Mayor’s Bureau of 
Weights and Measures should establish 
fixed statious in live poultry markets, 
with one or two inspectors on duty, 
where chickens miedit be weighed and all 
complaints speedily investigated. The 
poultry men decided, as evidence of their 
good faith, that if four or five inspectors 
are assigned by Commissioner Hartigan 
to do the work now performed by private 
inspectors the trade will agree to bear 
all expenses. They said they considered 
it not only fruitless but dangerous to 
continue the employment of private in¬ 
spectors and their opportunities for 
grafting and making trouble. It was 
brought out at the meeting of the com¬ 
mittee of twenty that there are shipped 
to New York city every year 7,800 car¬ 
loads of live poultry of a value of $2,500 
each, bringing the aggregate of the busi¬ 
ness up to nearly $20,000,000. At least 
2,500,000 people in the greater city are 
directly affected by the trade. They are 
principally Hebrews, whose religion com¬ 
pels them to use kosher killed chickens. 
The Pennsylvania Dairy Union will 
hold its annual meeting in Harrisburg 
in joint session with the Breeders’ As¬ 
sociation and the State Board of Agri¬ 
culture. The sessions of special interest 
to dairymen will be held on January 27 
and 28 in the Board of Trade Building. 
One entire evening, Tuesday evening, 
January 26, has been set aside for a 
thorough discussion of the tuberculosis 
problem. A special meeting will be held 
to consider the advisability of the Dairy 
Union uniting with the Breeders’ As¬ 
sociation, and perhaps some other as¬ 
sociation, to make one large,_ strong 
allied association. For further informa¬ 
tion, or copies of the programme, ad¬ 
dress C. W. Larson, secretary, State Col¬ 
lege, Pa. 
At the thirteenth annual meeting of 
the Orleans County Fruit Growers’ As¬ 
sociation, held at the Court House in 
Albion, the following officers were elected 
for 1915: President, George E. Snyder, 
Gaines; vice-president, Leslie Tanner, 
Medina; secretary and treasurer, John 
J. Larwood, Gaines. Twenty directors 
were chosen, two from each of the 10 
towns of the county. For the sixth con¬ 
secutive time the association has re¬ 
ceived the $250 cash prize at the State 
Fair for the finest display of fruit on 
exhibition in Syracuse. The association 
was also awarded a medal at the Inter¬ 
national Association convention, held in 
Boston, last Fall. An advertising cam¬ 
paign will be waged by the county so¬ 
ciety, setting forth the merits of Orleans 
County fruit. 
WASHINGTON.—The reply of Great 
Britain to the protest of the United 
States against British practices in inter¬ 
fering with the neutral trade of this 
country was made public at the State 
Department Jan. 10. The text of the 
note was simultaneously given to the 
English press. The British note, which 
is friendly in tone, postpones a definite 
reply, but may be summarized as fol¬ 
lows : Concurrence in principle that 
belligerents should interfere in trade of 
neutrals only for necessary protection 
for national safety. Endeavor to keep 
within limits of this principle on under¬ 
standing that it admits right to interfere 
in trade in contraband destined for 
enemy. Redress to be made where seizure 
is found unjustifiable. State of war, 
diminution of purchasing power and 
shrinkage of trade, rather than British 
interference, have closed neutral markets 
to the United States. Bulk of recent 
copper exports intended for a belligerent. 
Four consignments to Sweden destined 
for Germany. Admits foodstuffs should 
not be detained unless intended for 
enemy, but refuses to give unconditional 
and unlimited undertaking not to seize 
foodstuffs. Maintains that where ground 
for suspicion of contraband exists vessels 
must be taken to port for examination. 
Right of search cannot otherwise bo exer¬ 
cised. Expresses fear that neutral coun¬ 
tries contiguous to enemy will become on 
large scale base of supplies and for ma¬ 
terials for manufacturing armament for 
enemy. Prohibition of publication of 
manifests until thirty days after vessels 
leave United States ports makes neces¬ 
sary examination and detention of more 
ships than before. Does not contest gen¬ 
eral principles of law as understood and 
set forth by the United States note. 
Great Britain’s desire to restrict action 
solely to interference with contraband 
destined for enemy. 
THE EUROPEAN WAR.—Jan. 10 
Dunkirk and surrounding district was 
bombarded by 14 German aeroplanes. 
Fifty bombs were dropped, and six per¬ 
sons killed. Two of the machines were 
brought down by Belgian guns. A wire¬ 
less dispatch from Berlin states that the 
military establishments in and near Dun¬ 
kirk were completely destroyed, also the 
lighting plant. Dunkirk is a British mili¬ 
tary base. A German aeroplane which 
was flying over Amiens was pursued and 
brought down by a French flier, Jan. II. 
One of the German pilots was killed, his 
machine falling within the French lines. 
Jan. 10 the Allies announced that they 
had captured Perthes, between Rheims 
and the Argonne forest, but they had 
lost Burnhaupt-le-Haut in upper Alsace. 
Heavy fighting was then going on at 
Soissons, where the Cathedral was said 
to be damaged by German shells. Both 
sides have been heavily re-enforced, and 
Jan 13, gains were claimed by both sides. 
. The Emperor of Germany has 
telegraphed to the Vatican a denial of 
the arrest of Cardinal Mercier, Arch¬ 
bishop of Malines, who, it was reported, 
was under restraint because of anti- 
German views. The Papal Nuncio at 
Havre had reported the Cardinal’s ar¬ 
rest. . . . The German General Staff 
announced, Jan. 12, that the Allies had 
been checked at every point, particularly 
in Alsace, and stated that in the Ar¬ 
gonne the French casualties since Janu¬ 
ary 8 were 3,500 men. The Germans are 
said to be advancing in central Poland 
and the Russians to have been defeated 
near northern Poland. ... A des¬ 
patch from Vienna, Jan. 11, stated that 
Herman troops are replacing the An* 
trians on the Italian-Austrian frontier 
and in the Trentino and that the vul¬ 
nerable points in the passes of the Alps 
have been blocked with snow against a 
possible Italian attack. . . . Turkey 
has seized Tabriz, the second city of 
Persia, iu the Russian zone of influence, 
and is said to be preparing to use the 
place as a base for a march across the 
Russo-Persian frontier, which is unpro¬ 
tected. Persia has protested strongly to 
Turkey against the occupation. . . . 
Jan. 9 it was announced that troops 
from the French Congo had defeated a 
German force in Kamerun. West Africa. 
. . . Rumania is mobilizing 750,000 
men. 
THE ITALIAN EARTHQUAKE.— 
An earthquake that lasted for thirty- 
four seconds, Jan. 13, laid waste a large 
section of central Italy, killed probably 
more than 20,000 persons and injured 
30.000. destroyed priceless works of art, 
levelled thousands of buildings and caused 
a panic throughout the stricken area. 
The shock apparently did the greatest 
damage iu a region including Rome, 
Naples, Avezzano and the region to the 
south and east of the capital. It is an¬ 
nounced officially that the centre of the 
disturbance was between Campobosso 
and Sarno. Naples has been hard hit by 
the catastrophe, comparable only to the 
Messina disaster of 1908. There is 
scarcely a town or hamlet in a region 
embracing several hundred square miles 
that has not suffered.
