PPG cutting
1,700 jobs
PITTSBURGH Pitts-
burgh-based PPG says its cut-
ting about 1,700 jobs worldwide,
or about 3.6 percent of its 47,000
workers worldwide.
Spokesman Mark Silvey says
the cuts will be spread across all
geographic regions so there is
expected to be minimal overall
impact to any specific region.
Without specifying, the com-
pany says the cuts will focus on
operations and markets where
business conditions are weak-
est.
PPG reported a third-quarter
loss of $201 million, or 75 cents
per share, in October and prom-
ised to review cost-cutting op-
tions. The company plans to take
a pretax charge of $190 million
to $200 million when it reports
year-end earnings in January.
The companys chairman and
chief executive, Michael Mc-
Garry, says the cuts are fueled by
continued slow overall growth
in global demand.
Deregulation became
law 20 years ago
DENNIS OWENS
abc27 News
HARRISBURG There it
is ladies and gentlemen, said
a smiling Gov. Tom Ridge in
1996 as he signed legislation
that de-regulated electricity in
Pennsylvania.
Its been 20 years since the
bill designed to decrease elec-
tric bills for all Pennsylvanians
became law.
Back then, in 1996, the elec-
tricity generation price was 15
to 20-percent higher than the
rest of the country, not just the
region but the entire nation,
said Gladys Brown who is now
chairwoman of the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission but
was a Senate staffer who worked
on the legislation two decades
ago.
It put Pennsylvania on the
forefront of consumer choice
for a utility.
Dozens of legislative staff
members, former PUC commis-
sioners and officials who shep-
herded electric de-regulation
through the process celebrated
its 20th anniversary at Thurs-
days PUC public meeting. They
touted its many successes.
We will continue to be stead-
fast in our commitment to bring
electric competition to the con-
sumers of PA and doing it with
safeguards and consumer pro-
tections that we should all be
proud of, said PUC Commis-
sioner Rob Powelson.
There have been bumps in
the road like the polar vortex
in 2014. ABC27 reported ex-
tensively on the crisis where
thousands of consumers with
variable rates were shocked by
bills that spiked as much as 400
percent.
We saw the reaction of the
marketplace and a very unfor-
tunate drop, a very substantial
drop, in customer trust, and
many of those customers re-
verted back to the safe harbor of
default service, Commissioner
John Coleman said.
It was a learning experience.
The PUC cracked down on bad
actors and added new rules to
protect consumers.
A recent survey showed mixed
results. More than 90 percent
of Pennsylvanians are aware
that they can shop for electric-
ity. But just under 40 percent
bother to do it. Theyre pushed
to a default provider. But the
survey also showed month over
month growth for 14 consecu-
tive months in the number of
consumers shopping on PAPow-
erswitch.com.
Whether customers actually
shop or not, most would agree
that 20 years after its signing,
that de-regulation bill was a
boon for consumers.
They can make their own de-
cision, Brown said. It makes it
easier for them. They can figure
out what works best for them.
And theyre saving money.

Shooting suspect

HARRISBURG A 19-year-
old city man wanted for a shoot-
ing incident two months ago was
arrested after he was injured in a
shooting this week, police said.
Jaquan Jones Jr. is charged with

1 hands.
Consider that today 90 percent
of cable television networks are
owned by just six companies:
Time Warner (CNN), Viacom,
CBS, ABC, Comcast (NBC) and
21st Century Fox.
Of these major conglomerates
only Fox gives conservatives a
fair shake. New, independent
networks like Newsmax TV are
on the rise, but the big media still
controls, dangerously, the flow of
information to the public. Trump
was their most recent victim.
A combination of AT&T and
Time Warner will be toxic, further
constricting competition and
press diversity.
AT&T is a giant media company
which also owns DirecTV. They
also were a major corporate backer
of Hillary Clintons presidential
campaign. They strongly opposed
Donald Trumps election.
Time Warners CNN was
nothing short of the Clinton
News Network a 24-hour
propaganda machine spewing out
anti-Trump and anti-Republican
venom.
Right now AT&T has 26.3 mil-
lion pay TV subscribers through
DirecTV and ATT U-verse service
controlling about 25 percent of
the U.S. cable market. They are
the largest cable/satellite operator
in the U.S. bar none.
By owning the largest chunk of
cable home distribution, AT&T
will obviously be in a position
to favor their own channels like
CNN, over other channels like Fox
News, Newsmax and many others.
Frankly, I am usually in favor of
government keeping its hands-off
business activities.
But there are exceptions.
When certain businesses act
like monopolies or near mo-
nopolies, have unusual access to
publicly-owned or controlled dis-
tribution systems, and get prefer-
ential access to broadcast/satellite
airwaves, then government has
a compelling need to insure that
such media companies act in a fair
way to insure competition and the
diversity of public opinion.
AT&T has not demonstrated,
in my opinion, a real desire to
support the publics interest in
the areas of competition, diversity
and fairness.
Recently the Department of
Justice sued AT&T and its sub-
sidiary DirecTV for price fixing
and illegally colluding to harm
consumers.
There are many reasons why
the FCC and Congress need to
handle this merger with intense
scrutiny and remember this is not
a business decision, but a matter
that affects our democratic insti-
tutions.

this first hand.

The main one people gener-
ally cite is the Uniform Crime
Reports, Fordham University
School of Law Professor of Law
John Pfaff said. The way those
work is that the police keep track
of when someone makes a call in
that a crime has happened.
If I got robbed or I saw some-
one get robbed, I call in and that
sort of shows up as an incident,
he said.
Pfaff explained the UCR mea-
sures crime that is known to po-
lice.
Every time a police department
receives a report of a crime and
confirms that it occurred or is
witness to a crime, it gets entered
into a database that is compiled
with departments across the
country.
The FBI only tracks a certain
small number of crimes for the
Uniform Crime Reports for
reported crimes, Pfaff said.
The FBI collects data on violent
crimes including murder, ag-
gravated assault and rape and
property crime including bur-
glary, theft and arson.
The UCR does not track DUIs,
drug crimes or other offenses like
lower-level assaults, Pfaff said.
Cases involving DUI or drug
crimes generally account for
more than 40 percent of all new
case filings each year in Cumber-
land County, according to Cum-
berland County Insight.
Pennsylvania State Police also
maintains a database that all po-
lice departments in the state are
required to report to.
The information is similar to
the FBIs crime reporting pro-
gram, but is updated generally
every month rather than yearly
and includes a larger list of of-
fenses.
The information is posted to a
public website where the general
public can use that as a tool to see
what crimes are occurring around
them and to view the crime rates,

Clearance Rate
The FBI and Pennsylvania State
Police Uniform Crime Reporting

rate for the crimes tracked.
An agency can mark an offense
cleared if it meets a certain set of
criteria, Reed said. It can ei-
ther be cleared by an arrest or by
what is known as by exceptional
means.

Election-season hacking to be probed

KATHLEEN HENNESSEY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Pres-
ident Barack Obama has
ordered intelligence offi-
cials to conduct a broad
review of election-season
cyberattacks, including the
email hacks that rattled
the presidential campaign
and raised fresh concerns
about Russias meddling in
U.S. elections, the White
House said Friday.
The review, led by intel-
ligence agencies, will be a
deep dive into a possible
pattern of increased mali-
cious cyber activity timed
to the campaign season,
White House spokesman
Eric Schultz said. The re-
view will look at the tac-
tics, targets, key actors and
the U.S. governments re-
sponse to the recent email
hacks, as well as incidents
reported in past elections,
he said.
The president ordered
up the report earlier this
week and asked that it be
completed before he leaves
office next month, Schultz
said.
The president wanted
this done under his watch
because he takes it very se-
riously, he said. We are
committed to ensuring the
integrity of our elections.
U.S. intelligence officials
accused Russia of hacking
into Democratic officials
email accounts in an at-
tempt to interfere with the
presidential campaign.
The Kremlin rejected the
accusations.
In the months leading
up to the election, email
accounts of Democratic
Party officials and a top
Hillary Clinton campaign
aide were breached, emails
leaked and embarrassing
and private emails posted
online. Many Democrats
believe the hackings ben-
efited Republican Donald
Trumps bid. Trump has
downplayed the possibility
that Russia was involved.
Schultz said the presi-
dent sought the probe as a
way of improving U.S. de-
fense against cyberattacks
and was not intending to
question the legitimacy of
Trumps victory.
This is not an effort to
challenge the outcome of
the election, Schultz said.

Trump operates branded

world, though he and his ex-

expanding more globally.

Recall could involve 42M vehicles

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ETROIT The U.S.
D too much force and spew
government is trying to get
automakers to move faster
to fix 42 million vehicles
that are being recalled be-
cause of potentially deadly
Takata air bag inflators.
Expressing renewed
concern about the pace
of the recall, which is the
largest ever for the U.S.
auto industry, officials
from the National High-
way Safety Administration
released a schedule for
further recalls on Friday
and said the agency would
require all 19 companies
involved to submit plans
to reach more owners.
Eventually, about 69
million inflators that can
potentially explode with
shrapnel into people will
be recalled. Some cars will
have both the driver side
and passenger side air bags
replaced.
As of last week, how-
ever, only 12.5 million, or
about 18 percent, of the
inflators had been re-
placed, and NHTSA said
some automakers werent
doing enough to contact
owners. The agency or-
dered the companies to
turn in a recall engage-
ment plan within 90 days
to increase the completion
rate.
Eleven people have been
killed by Takata inflators
in the U.S. and as many as
16 worldwide. The gov-
ernment says about 180
people have been hurt in
the U.S. alone.
Recalls are being phased
in through the end of 2020.
NHTSA added sports car
maker McLaren to the list
of affected automakers.
NHTSA officials said
the recalls have been pro-
ceeding slowly in part be-
cause of a lack of available
parts. Different cars need
different air bag inflators,
so its not always easy to
snap new parts into place.
The agency said some
consumers also havent
gotten repairs even though
parts are available. The
agency is urging anyone
who gets a recall notice to
contact a dealer and get
their vehicle repaired as
quickly as possible.
Normally, around 70
percent of consumers
complete recall repairs,
the agency said. In this
case, NHTSA wants the
recall repair rate to achieve
100 percent.
Takata inflators use the
explosive chemical am-
monium nitrate to create
a small explosion that in-
flates air bags in a crash.
But the chemical can de-
teriorate when exposed

HISTORY
Christmas City in Pa.
STEPHANIE KALINA-METZGER
For The Sentinel
BETHLEHEM On Christ-
mas Eve in 1741, Count Nicolaus
von Zinzendorf joined David
Nitschmann in leading a group
of Moravians to the banks of the
Monocacy Creek by the Lehigh
River to set up a mission commu-
nity, which they named after the
biblical town of Bethlehem.
Many years later, the cham-
ber of commerce spearheaded
a campaign to recognize Beth-
lehem as Christmas City, and
every December the town ush-
ers in the special season with
decorations and a whole host of
events designed to educate and
enchant. This year, Bethlehem
marks its 275th anniversary with
a plethora of activities to cele-
brate the special occasion.
Many museums
Bethlehem is rich in history
and home to more than a few
museums. To herald its 275th
year, the town is hosting a new
Moravian Story Walking Tour,
which provides visitors with a
comprehensive overview of the
history of the Moravians in Beth-
lehem.
A stop on the tour is the Ge-
meinhaus a log cabin built
without nails that once served as
the Moravian Church and is now
a museum of Moravian History,
featuring furniture, art, toys and
crafts. Located at the same ad-
dress is the Moravian Museum of
Bethlehem. The structure, built
in 1752, was home to an apoth-
ecary.
Another stop along the way
is the Nain-Schober House be-
lieved to be the only structure
remaining along the Delaware
and Lehigh National Heritage
Corridor to have been both built
and lived in by American Indians.
Guests will also visit the Single
Sisters House, which housed
single women from 1748 to 2008.
Those who have yet to see a
live advent calendar, will want
to set their clocks for 5p.m. and
visit the John Sebastian Goundie
House located on Main Street.
The restored federal house
dates back to 1810 and was once
home to the local brewer. Today
it is a house museum, and ev-
ery evening through Dec. 23, a
town crier selects a child from
the crowd to knock on the door,
which opens to some form of
entertainment, ranging from
choirs, to Dickensian carolers,
and even bagpipers. After the
performance, merchants hand
out treats to the children.
We think this may be the
only live advent calendar in the
United States, said Charlene
Donchez Mowers, president of
Historic Bethlehem Museums
& Sites.
Putz Trail
Putz is derived from the
German word putzen, meaning
to decorate or adorn. The tradi-
tional Moravian putz is a display
of hand-carved figurines and
buildings and was once used as a
teaching tool to tell the Christ-
mas story.
According to Mowers, the tra-
dition dates back centuries and
is different from the Nativity.
The Moravian story tells of the
annunciation to Mary, the visit of
the wise men and the flight into
Bethlehem honors its roots and holiday spirit during the month of December.
Egypt. It has been a tradition for
multiple generations and people
have them in their homes.
Visitors can see a collection
of putzes, some of which date
back to the 1700s, at the Mora-
vian Museum of Bethlehem, the
Single Sisters House and the
Goundie House.
Historic hotel
In 1922, Bethlehem Steel Pres-
ident Charles M. Schwab, in need
of a place to host clients, ordered
the construction of the Hotel
Bethlehem. The hotel is located
on Main Street, within walking
distance of just about everything
from quaint little shops that line
the streets, to restaurants, a
brewery and the oldest, contin-
uously operating bookstore in
the world known as the Moravian
Bookshop.
It is decorated for the Christ-
mas season with dozens of
Christmas trees, scores of giant
wreaths, 7-foot-tall toy soldiers
and a large crche.

Town became springboard for war horses

MARK ST. JOHN ERICKSON
The Daily Press
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Three
months after the first shots of
World War I rang out in August
1914, the withering brutality of
the fighting in Europe reached
across the Atlantic and began re-
shaping Hampton Roads with an
unforeseen power.
Though the United States
would not enter the Great War
for 2.5 years, the people of New-
port News saw the first sign of an
increasingly crucial connection in
late November.
But it wasnt a surge in build-
ing at their famous shipyard or
the troop mobilization that many
observers expected.
Instead, it came as a flood of
horses and mules hundreds of
thousands of them transported by
rail from across the country in an
epic British effort to resupply the
badly mauled equine force of its
struggling armies.
Herded into a giant complex of
pens and stables erected between
30th and 34th streets near the
downtown piers, the seemingly
endless stream of animals brought
hundreds of ships and thousands
of jobs to the James River port
and by the end of 1914 was over-
taking the citys nationally im-
portant coal and grain exports in
value.
In just two months, the British
Remount Station shipped more
than 10,500 horses worth nearly
$2.6 million a figure equal to
more than $60 million in 2014
dollars. In 1915, another 170,000
horses and mules worth almost $1
billion today followed in a supply
chain that reached as far as Egypt.
By the fightings end, the num-
ber of animals transported from
the sprawling compound ap-
proached 500,000 or nearly $3
billion today making the port
by far the biggest and most im-
portant supplier of American war
horses for the British army.
So essential did it become to the
battlefields in France and Belgium
that German-paid saboteurs at-
tacked the herds in a futile at-
tempt to staunch the flow.
The sheer numbers are just
incredible, says historian John cer reported just months after the
V. Quarstein, author of the 1998
book World War I on the Penin-
sula.
And this was just the begin-
ning of an immense transforma-
tion in which the war changed
Newport News and Hampton
Roads forever.
Like the huge armies of soldiers
they served, the horses and mules
of the Great War were mangled by
the conflicts unprecedented vio-
lence and within a few months
Britain recognized that its dwin-
dling domestic stock was not
nearly large enough to replace its
losses.
Our home resources . are ex-
hausted, the chief remount offi-
war started. And despite attempts
to employ such mechanized sub-
stitutes as the American-built
Holt artillery tractor, the shortage
spelled disaster for an army that
still moved, fed and supplied itself
largely through animal power.
Even after the machine gun
and rapid-fire cannon made the
cavalry charge obsolete, horses
and mules still provided the pri-
mary means of transporting war
material from the railheads to the
front then carrying the dead
and wounded back to the hospi-
tals in the rear.

Sothebys acquires
forensic lab
ULA ILNYTZKY
Associated Press
In bid to fight art fraud,
Sothebys announced
Monday that it had pur-
chased a forensics firm
whose founder once helped
the auction house belatedly
identify a $10 million
painting as a fake.
Sothebys said that
Orion Analytical, based in
Williamstown, Massachu-
setts, will be folded into the
company and its founder,
the artist, conservator and
forensic scientist James
Martin, will lead a new
scientific research depart-
ment charged with making
sure the works the auction
house deals with are au-
thentic.
The purchase comes
amid a number of recent art
forgeries in the art world,
including a supposed Old
Master painting that was
sold by Sothebys to an art
collector for $10 million in
a private sale in 2011.
In March of this year, So-
thebys declared Portrait
of a Man by Frans Hals a
fake after questions arose
about its authenticity. An
Ranch
From A10
Vandals, the weather and
the travails of time have
done their work, and by now
the house is too far gone to
restore. Last month McGee
began the process of ap-
plying for a state historical
marker at the suggestion
of the local tourism board.
Theres so much interest
in the Chicken Ranch, they
wanted a place they can
send people to, so they can
look at something, he said.
A few influential folks
were not pleased, said
Blaschke, who helped Mc-
Gee with the application.
Id say 45 percent of the
population think its part
of Texas history, and they
should exploit it, he said
from his office at Texas
State University, where hes
director of media relations.
Another 45 percent dont
give it any never mind.
And maybe 10 percent of
the population just about
spews blood out of their
eyeballs if you even men-
tion it.
Among the more ada-
mant opponents and
the most influential is
longtime County Judge Ed
Janecka, whose Czech an-
cestors settled the nearby
community of Dubina in the
1850s. At 69, hes lived in the
county most of his life.
A former stand-up co-
median whos still quick
with a cutting quip, the
judges crusty exterior be-
lies his abiding affection
for his Czech heritage,
his Dubina church (one of
Fayette Countys painted
churches) and his rural and
small-town constituents.
As we sat in his third-floor
office in the magnificent,
old courthouse on the
La Grange town square, I
asked him about his mem-
ories of the Chicken Ranch.
He laughed. Put down
that pen, he said, and Ill
tell you about a rite of pas-
sage for the boys of Fayette
County.
It wasnt just coun-
try boys, he said. Aggies,
Longhorns and soldiers
found themselves sitting
on Saturday nights in that
parlor that ended up in
Dallas. Janecka recalled
that the fellow who ran the
local Gulf gas station made
a little money on the side
by renting civilian clothes
to soldiers, who werent al-
lowed to visit the brothel in
uniform. Everybody knew
about the Chicken Ranch;
before Zindler, nobody
gave it much thought.
Janecka wishes it were
that way today. He wants to
turn tourists attention to
La Granges superb Texas
M Quilt Museum, the painted
1 churches, Monument Hill &
in-depth technical analy-
sis by Orion, reviewed by
another conservation sci-
entist, confirmed the sus-
picion. The forger remains
unknown.
Sothebys said Mon-
day that the acquisition
of Orion and Martins ap-
pointment would add to
collectors confidence in
the auction house.
Martin, who founded
Orion Analytical in 1990,
has analyzed the chemical
and structural composition
of disputed artworks for
clients around the world,
including private collec-
tors, museums, galleries
and the FBI.
Rather than being re-
tained on a series of one-off
assignments when issues
arise, Jamie will be estab-
lishing a set of protocols
to determine which works
should be examined pro-
actively, as well as training
our specialist staff to iden-
tify potential issues, plac-
ing us in a position to pro-
vide even greater service to
our clients, in the areas of
art, objects and wine, So-
thebys said.
Krische Brewery State His-
toric Site, the friendliness of
the people even as he ac-
knowledges the continuing
interest in the bordello.
It is what it is, he said.
Its history, and when
somebody comes in from
somewhere else, they ask
about it. Its amazing to me
that people around the state
are just fascinated with it.
Pat Johnson, an artist
who lives in nearby Fay-
etteville and who serves on
the county historical com-
mission, begs to differ with
the judge. I thought (the
marker proposal) was pretty
timely, actually, she said.
Its Fayette County history,
some of the best. Today that
kind of story doesnt seem
so scandalous to me.
Pat Good, who sells
Chicken Ranch photos and
T-shirts at Hengst Printing
on the square, agrees with
Johnson. It ought to be a
little museum, she said. It
would draw a lot of people.
Gary Prause is a
fourth-generation family
member who runs Prauses
Meat Market, on the square
in La Grange since 1904.
Hes been cutting meat and
smoking barbecue since
1966.
When I first started
working in here, Grandma
would make pies and cakes
and take em out there, he
recalled. You could always
tell how many girls were
working out there by how
many steaks they ordered
from us. If they ordered
28 steaks on a weekend,
there were 28 girls working.
Thats what Daddy used to
tell me.
Prause has no problem
with a historical marker
Why not? he said but
the judge is unmoved. Im
making this statement for
people in their 60s, 70s
and 80s, for people whove
lived here for a long time,
he said. Back then theyd
go somewhere and tell
people they were from La
Grange, and all theyd hear
was the Chicken Ranch. It
was embarrassing.
He can imagine lines of
historical-marker traffic
disturbing residents who
live along the gravel road.
He can see rowdy college
kids ripping up the marker
almost before the concrete
sets and hauling it back to
a dorm room or frat house.
He has veto power over the
marker application.
For now the issue is moot.
The deadline for applying
was Tuesday, the 15th, and
McGee decided, respect-
fully, to hold off. Let them
have the decision, since Im
an outsider, he said. Its
their town, their county.
He might try again next
year. Im very careful
where I step, he said, but
its not over with yet.
HISTORY
Horses
From A10
A single 5-ton Whit-
worth gun like one on dis-
play at the Virginia War
Museum required a team
of 12 animals to make its
way through the mud
and there were thousands
of artillery pieces deployed
along the Western Front.
Horses were employed
on a scale which could
never have been dreamed
of, said Capt. Sidney Gal-
trey, author of the 1918
study The Horse and the
War.
Without a constant
supply of good horses, the
British army would have
been virtually immobile.
That indispensable role
made them targets, too,
says Robert Koenig, author
of The Fourth Horseman,
a 2006 book that explores
the use of the World War I
horse, the British remount
effort in the United States
and the attempts of sabo-
teurs to throttle the herds
at Newport News.
The Germans were es-
pecially keen on aiming at
horses.
Equine casualties were
especially high during bat-
tles of attrition, such as the
1916 Battle of Verdun, he
explained.
In one day in March,
7,000 horses were killed by
long-range shelling on both
sides, including 97 killed by
a single shot from a French
naval gun.
Despite that grim toll,
combat casualties ac-
counted for only a quarter
of all the horses and mules
that died.
Many more drowned
in the ever-present mud
after collapsing from ex-
haustion, Koenig says,
while thousands of others
perished from exposure and
starvation.
When North Carolina
veterinarian F.C. Hern-
don returned to Newport
News after accompanying
a February 1916 shipment
of 777 horses to Europe, he
reported in the American
Journal of Veterinary Med-
icine that the average life of
the animals at the front is
just a little over 10 days.
It was a meat grinder,
and many of the horses the
British started with in Au- Glover and George Gregory
gust were dead within the
year, Quarstein said.
So the need was huge.
It was never-ending. And
with the war not six months
old what are they doing?
coming to the United States
to look for horses.
Though headquartered
in Canada, the British Re-
mount Commission oper-
ated primarily in the United
States, from which it drew
the vast majority of its an-
imals.
Many of them were
shipped through a vast
complex of corrals con-
structed by British contrac-
tor Guyton & Harrington
Co. near the small town of
Lathrop, Mo., which not
only boasted 10,000 acres
of pasture but also a large
artificial lake and with horses were confined for
stalls for 1,500 animals
the worlds largest horse
barns.
Here is located the chief
British concentration de-
pot for horses and mules
purchased in the United
States, noted the Decem-
ber 1915 magazine of the
Santa Fe Railroad, which
was one of three railways
to build spurs serving the
giant compound.
The horses for Newport
News are loaded 20 head to
the car and 25 cars to the
train . The mules are loaded
22 head to the car and 30
cars to the train.
Long before the first of
1,819 carloads from Lath-
rop arrived between May
and September 1915, how-
ever, the British had chosen
Newport News to handle
about two-thirds of their
animals from North Amer-
ica.
Located in the middle of
the Atlantic Coast, it pro-
vided a protected deep-wa-
ter port with a direct route
to Europe, both Quarstein
and Koenig say. It also
boasted excellent rail con-
nections to the rest of the
country through the Ches-
apeake & Ohio Railway.
Still, it took a city busi-
nessman named Phillip
W. Hiden to provide the
strategically located land,
the local contacts and the
organizational expertise
to get the British remount
complex built, then up and
running just weeks after
he was approached by the
C&O.
Earlier in 1914, the fu-
ture Newport News mayor
had proved invaluable
when the railroad had to
rebuild scores of bridges
damaged by flood in Ohio.
Now he was being enlisted
to help set up what soon
became one of the busiest
horse-export depots in the
world.
France, Belgium and
Spain were clamoring for
horses. The British Re-
mount Commission was
pressing the government
for shipments as rapidly as
they could be obtained, the
Daily Press noted in Hidens
1936 obituary.
Again, the railroad here
came to Mr. Hiden in an-
other emergency.
Hiden was by no means
alone, however, in the ur-
gent effort to get the ship-
ments started.
Unlike other countries,
the British directed their
remount work themselves,
and they made a huge in-
vestment in the critical
Newport News station.
Maj. James Lawrence
Barry a 54-year-old
Irish veteran of the elite 1st
and 3rd Dragoon Guards
supervised the opera-
tions from his rooms at the
downtown Hotel Warwick.
His chief aide was Capt.
James Gregg a 50-year-
old Irish-born member of
the British Army Veteri-
nary Corps who went to
work from his home at 53rd
Street and what was then
River Road.
Other members of the
British staff included Chief
Assistant Veterinary Offi-
cer Francis X. MacGuire,
whose 1916 marriage to
a Newport News woman
was marked by a reception
at the Hotel Warwick, and
Scottish-born veterinarian
Andrew J. Gillespie.

it to another pen, where
who specialized in bac-
teriology also served in
what was called the Brit-
ish Remount Hospitals
and Laboratory, Newport
News, the American Jour-
nal of Veterinary Medicine
noted.
Schooled by the crippling
problems the British army
had encountered while
shipping animals to South
Africa during the 1899-
1902 Boer War, the team
quickly divided their com-
pound into various fields
and pens designed to iden-
tify, isolate and treat the
huge number of horses and
mules likely to arrive with
a pneumonia-like sickness
known as shipping fever.
So prevalent was the
disease that even healthy

Teen of the Week
where area high school seniors are recognized for their
accomplishments in and out of the classroom.
Every Monday
observation before ship-
ping, while those that be-
came ill were scrupulously
treated and moved through
a series of contagious dis-
ease, pneumonia, and con-
valescent pens before being
approved for transport,
wrote Gregg in the 1917
veterinary journal.
The depot operated a
large veterinary hospital,
too, where hundreds of the
worst cases were bedded
and blanketed in long rows
of stalls for more intensive
treatment or confined for
recovery after undergoing
surgery.
Mistakes were unavoid-
able in the early rush as the
horses had to be got quickly
to meet the pressing de-
mands in France, Gregg
noted.
But by avoiding over-
crowding, attending rig-
idly to issues of isolation,
disinfection and sanita-
tion and adding liberally to
the depots veterinary and
nursing staff, the depot not
only met the challenge of
handling an unprecedented
number of animals but also
kept them healthy at a rate
that far exceeded peacetime
standards, he reported.
Dozens of additional vet-
erinarians accompanied the
animals as the shipments
got underway, not to men-
tion hundreds of onboard
feeders, cleaners and han-
dlers drawn largely from the
citys black population.
At the depot itself, the
veterinary staff worked
alongside an even larger
corps of workers, includ-
ing farriers and stablemen
as well as loaders and wran-
glers.
Hundreds more found
jobs with such businesses
as Waterfront Lumber,
which played a major in
building and repairing the
depot pens as well as con-
verting British cargo ships
into animal transport ves-
sels.
Once a big British
transport ship arrived,
members of the British Re-
mount Commission chose
the horses and mules who
appeared to be in the best
condition, Koenig says.
They would point to a
horse in the corral or pas-
ture area, and chigger boys
cowboys, really would
rope the animal and lead
the vets and commission
members scrutinized each
horse for signs of disease.
The healthy animals were
channeled into a wooden
viaduct to the wharf, where
another commissioner
stood at the gate to count
the horses, each of which
was fitted with a halter.
The nervous animals
were then led up sloping
wooden chutes onto the
steamers main deck.
So immense, successful
and profitable was this ef-
fort that, according to the
Jan. 20, 1915, Daily Press,
many other envious cit-
ies on the Atlantic coast
including Norfolk began
offering the shippers in-
ducements to relocate the
business.
By late February, when
Saturday, December 10, 2016|A11
the volume and value of
the horses began breaking
all records, a special inves-
tigation conducted by the
newspaper uncovered evi-
dence of a plot in which a
city councilman had solic-
ited bribes from the Norfolk
Chamber of Commerce in
exchange for planting false
reports about public health
problems, animal cruelty
and price gouging.
But the threat ended with
the councilmans convic-
tion and resignation as
well as the news just two
months later that New-
port News had also become
the primary British port for
the transport of mules, with
more than 40,000 animals
to be diverted there from
New Orleans.
In March 1915 alone,
more than 16,000 horses
worth $3.8 million left from
the C&O piers, shattering
every export record.
And the head of one of
Britains most prominent
horse shippers only saw
room for more.
Mr. Harling is reported
to have said that the facil-
ities for handling the horse
export trade, the facilities
for caring for the horses
before they were loaded
and the entire equipment
of the yards surpassed any
port in the United States,
the Daily Press reported af-
ter an April inspection tour.
Business is brisker along
the waterfront at this time
than ever before.
Among the hundreds
of new faces drawn by the
surging enterprise, how-
ever, were two Baltimore
dock workers who posed a
potentially greater threat
than any competing city.
Recruited and supplied
with serum by German
agents including a Vir-
ginia-born German-Amer-
ican physician the men
slipped into the depot un-
der the cover of darkness
sometime in late 1915 and
attempted to infect the
herds with anthrax and a
pneumonia-like bacterium.
Killing American horses
and mules had become a
strategic priority, Koenig
says.
The German sabotage
campaign has the distinc-
tion of being the first sys-
tematic use of germs as a
tool of modern warfare.
Still, so primitive and
ineffective were the clan-
destine attacks that no one
suspected theyd been car-
ried out until after the war
ended.
By that time the stream
of American horses and
mules flowing from New-
port News had proved in-
dispensable in giving the
British an advantage the
Germans could not counter.
If in March 1918, the
equine force of Germany
had been on the same scale,
and as efficient, as the Brit-
ish equine force, the Ger-
mans would unquestion-
ably have broken through,
British Field Marshall Sir
Douglas Haig said.
And (that would have)
inflicted a defeat so great
that recovery might have
been impossible.
