FORESTERS AT WORK.
What They Are Doing in the High
Court.

The High Court of Foresters, now In
session at Brooklyn. yesterday decided
that the High Court shall meet at
least biennially in May. and that
Junior Foresters shall be received
into full membership when OF proper age.
1t was also resolved that Deputy Grand
Chief Rangers shall not preside over
courts Of which they are members,
except when there is no court but
their own in the town. An amend
ment to the constitution was adopted
providing that hereafter officials
shall be elected fr ON the delegates to the
High Court without regard to The
State in which they reside. This
amendment will not apply, however. to
the election TO be held tomorrow.
The place for holding the next session
provokes much rivalry. The chief con-
testants are New Jersey, California, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts,. The heavy
fare is against California.
The delegates were all photographed
yesterday afternoon.
The Durancy case is not settled yet
and will come up again tomorrow

A CATTLE SCARE.
Killing Animals That Yeterinar-
ians Say are Perfectly
Healthy.

The Inspectors Of the Animal Bureau
have discovered several cases Of what is
supposed to be pleuropneumonia among
cattle on the Heights, and as a result
cows owned Dy a score Of poor people are
to be slaughtered this week. because they
were exposed to the disease
Two months ago one of the many in
spect0rs discovered a diseased COW graz
ing on the lots in the vicinity Of Teu<s
avenue. Chief Hawk at once ordered
the inspectors to seize everv COW that
had been grazing on the lots. have them
appraised and slaughtered. This was
done TO carry out the law, which is that
every animal exposed TO the disease must
be killed.
last Saturday the Inspector drove TO
the home Of Thomas Cummings, on Teurs
avenue. Cummings owns ten cows aEd
three heifers- The animals were seized
and chain fastened ABOUT their horne.
Cummings was directed to keep his cows
In the COW yard, aud to take them out
only to give them drink. He supplies
about fifty families on the Heights with
milk and kept the cows penned up until
he had them examined BY doctor.
The cows were found TO be in q per-
fecuy healthy condition and Cummings
turned them out in the lots.
A day later an appraiser put in an ap-
pearance and informed Cummings that
all the animals would have to be slauuht-
cred. but that he would be paid S35 a
piece for them. Cummings values the
animals at Sl25 TO $50 a piece, and in
formed the appraiser that he would not
accept s35 for the cows. Cummings has
secured, II is said. the services of Coun-
sellor Nredenbergh and will fight the
case.
The cattle inspectors next visited Con-
tractor Dennis Burns and seized four COWS
and heifer and informed burns that
the animals would have to be slaug hter-
ed. DIR. Arrowsmith examined the AMI
mails and found them all In a healthy
condition. Burns valued the cows at S65,
and intends fighting the case In the
courts.
Ten valuable cows owned by Martin
Gibbons of Wilton street were seized and
peuned up, and will be slaughtered to-
morrow
The owners of cows on the Heights are
highly incenged at the action of the cattle
inspectors, aud state that they will not
submit to have them slaughtered be-
cause they grazed on the lots
with a diseased COW. The animals
when slaughtered are examined, and IL
found healthy are sold, and a portion of
the receipts turned over to the unforsun-
ate owners. who state openly tnat it is a
money making scheme. Others state
that the bureau was to be abolished by
the Government because it was do
ing no good except to support
number of small Republican
politicians. and the inspectors fearing dis
missal began this raid Oh helpless owners
on the Heights. At the Office of the cat
tie bureau the rumor that the bureau
was to be abolished, was fatty denied by
the Chief Clerk, who refused to give any
information regarding the proposed
wholesale slaughter of valuable anima L.
except that two months ago they had
been exposed to pleuro pneumonia.
