SENATOR HARRIS SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT BILL.
senator Harris, from the committee on epidemic
diseases reported to-day substitute for the bill pre-
pared by the Treasury Department to prevent the
Introduction OF contagious diseases from one state
to another 1t authorizes the President cause the
Secretary Of the Treasury to make and promuigate
such rules and regulations as In his judgment may
be necessary TO prevent the spread from one stale
or territory to another OF cholera, yellow fever,
smallpox or plague, and TO employ as many in
spectOrs and other persons as may be necessary to
carry the regulations INTO effect It Is made a
miSdemeanOr, punishable by nne and 1mprtSOn-
ment, to violate the regulations.
Accompanying the bill is letter from Secretary
Fairchild, saying: at has long been evident to
the Department having charge Of the matter that
while the maritime quarantine Is fully up TO the
present requirements, q general law, making def
mite provisions for the framing Of regulations
for the conduct OF operations to prevent the
spread OF epidemic diseases from one state TO an
other wholly lacking in vital force and statu-
tory sanction. An appropriation act originally
passed 10 tide over public exigency then existing
has been continued down to this time, and many In
stances have arisen showing the inadequacy Of the
power TO frame satisfactory regulations.
In regard to the proposed pen Atty It is the opin-
ion OK the Department that no penalty can be too
severe for such violation OF the regulations as
would introduce a virulent epidemic from one To-
calty to another and experience in the conduct OF
the service has shown conciuSively the difficulty
OF executing by federal machinery the local Ordi-
nances OF q state or municipality"
