Re-sponslblllty for spread of the foot and mouth disease among: cattle In California was placed by Secretary Wallace In a statement today on thoughtless persons who travel from Infected farms to non-Infected areas. The secretary said that if that was stopped, the joint efforts of the Department of Agriculture and the authorities of California would stamp out the disease in a very short time. Ninety per cent, of the cases of the infection is spread by "careless people who travel from farm to farm," said Secretary Wallace. "We quarantined Orange county, California, last week, because some cattle buyers and traders persisted in visiting farms in Los Angeles county, which is in the quarantine district. We were certain these people would spread the disease and quarantined Orange county as a precaution.

Our suspicions were justified, as we have an outbreak allegiances. The Los Angeles fig ures were: Republican, Democratic, Socialist, V. Debs for presidential nominee and there was no contest. The Prohibition delegation, also uncontested, was pledged to Charles H. Randall for President.

Witness Says Landis Lied "Judge Landis says it is a matter of common knowledge that Grossman ran a saloon up to the moment of his pardon," suggested Chairman Brookhart. "It isn't a fact," Mr. Middlekauf replied, "because the owner of the building took It away from Grossman after his conviction." Middlekauf insisted there was no case'against Grossman, but Senator Wheeler, the committee prosecutor, told the witness his statement was "ridiculous." The latter then complained he had been victimized by "scandal" and by newspaper attacks, and Senator Wheeler said: "I'll say to you that I now believe the testimony of Judge Landis about this matter." Middlekauf agreed with Wheeler that there were breweries and "several thousand saloons running in Chicago." "And will be, as long as prosecuting officers to discredit their own witnesses instead of trying to convict law violators," put in Chairman Brookhart.
