DISEASED MILK.
DIR. Steeie's Lecture en- the Need OF
Milk Inspector.

- DC(lOIs
In his lecture on ''Milk" at the Cooper
Medical Institute last night, DR.. Charles
6. Steele pointed out forcibly the dangers
to which San Francisco is continually ex-
posed owing to the indifference of the
health authorities to the quality of the
milk supplied the people.
Nothing is more liable to spread dis
ease by means of milk than the dust and
winds of this climate" said the lecturer,
who went on to point out the terrible i'm
purities of which much of this dust is
composed, declaring that there ought to be
penalty for expectorating upon the
ground.
The impure food and water given in
many instances to cows were also touched
upon, the lecturer telling his hearers that
1t is possible for a cow TO drink water
laden with the germs of diseases and COM
municate them 10 human being without
becoming sick itself.
THE milk of cows fed upon brewers
swiIl aud decaying hay is often found to
be actually alive with bacteria. Some of
these are harmless aud even beneficial :;
others perpetuate scarlet fever and
diphtheria. In ten drops of milk there
may be 100000 colonies OF bacteria.
Look into the pale faces of the children OF
the pOor who depend upon such milk for
subsistence aud you will see the results OF
this kind of food. One would imagine
that our authorities do not believe in these
dangers, as they refuse to appoint a milk
inspector"
Statistics were then given to show that
half the milk sold in San Francisco is
LIQUID poison, and DIR. Steele added that
there ought TO be in San Francisco, as in
almost eVrey civilized city of the world, a
punishment for selling diseased milk.

to her rooms. Yesterday afternoon she
called Mary in and told her she had re-
solved TO kill herself. The chambermaid
was frightened and attempted to dissnade
her. Mrs. Sorenson bad pistol, which
she had procured so that she could end her
life if her love affair ended as she feared
it would. She produced II. and seemed
surprised that it was not loaded. She had
not thought of that. She had bought the
leaden pellets for the chambers, but had
thought there would be time enough ia
put them in place. Now the time bac
come suddenly and the weapon was empty.
She asked Mary if she could load it. but
the girl said she could not. Then she rang
for bsllboy and young Thomas Walker
answered the call. When he opened the
door Mrs. Sorenson asked him if he could
load her revolver for her. Mary McCronin
shook her head at the boy and he replied
that he did not know how TO load pistol.
The half-distracted woman then resolved
upon deceit. She told Mary that she had
reconsidered the matter. A good cry
seemed to soothe her and when Mary left
the room she thought the dark cloud had
blown over.
the report of the pistol was heard.
The landlady of the st. Nicholas knows
little of Mrs. Sorenson. She says she
understood that she "had been married
and that she came TO this city from Port
land. She had been at the house five
months and seemed to have plenty of
money. At all events she paid her bills.
She had friends. who always went to her
room direct without stopping at the office
to make inquiries. so the landla6y knew
the names of none of them.
Stanley Murphy. tie assistant porter of
the house, seems to have been somewhat
of cOnfdant of Mrs. Sorenson. He said
a. once that the gentleman whose picture
was found at her feet and in The frame in
the corner was that of John w. Sims.
president of the Western Iron Works, 125
Beale street. and subsequently the photo
graphs were identified. Mr.. Sims resides
in Berkeley and could not be seen last
night
Stanley Murphy says that Mrs. Sorenson
had been In delicate health and very de-
spondent for several weeks. Once out at
the. Cliff House she had threatened to
throw herself into the sea. She frequently
declared she would commit suicide.
During a greater part of her stay at the
st. Nicholas Mrs. Sorenson was attended
by a female nurse. but the nurse had left
her recently. Several notes signed
Cody" and found among the dead wo-
mans effects are supposed to have been
written by her. One was written on
Wednesday from 1908 Devisadero street
One of Mrs, Sorenson's correspondents
wrote from the Arlington Hotel, Hot
Springs, Ark, and signed most of his let
ters Phil. One of them, however, bore the
full signature. Phil Bauman. He chided
'his Lena" for not writing. and in his last
letter. written May 10. he announced that
he intended leaving Hot Springs for San
Francisco on the 18th inst. but would stop
at Denver and Salt Lake. Bauman's let
ters contained references to Mr.. Sims. He
asked in one, ."How are you getting along
with Sims?" and in another be sent his
love to Sims and Cody. Phil's acQuaint-
