FOR PURER MILK SUPPLY
Supervisors Have Approved the
Recently Formulated Or
dinance.
Declined to Make Provision for an
nspector-Some of the New
Restrictions.

The Health and Police Committee of the
Board of Supervisors approved the milk
ordinance recently formulated by joint
committee of the milkmen and Board of
Health at its meeting yesterday.
The measure provides among other
things that no person shall engage in the
milk business without first having obtained
a permit from the Board of Health, and
that each dealer must have the nam Der of
his permit displayed in conspicuous
place on the sides of his wagons.
Dealers are prohibited from selling milk
containing less than u per cent of milk
solids or more than SO per cent of water.
All milk must contain at least B 1-5 per
cent Of animal fats.
A further provision is made that no
milk taken from COWS within fifteen days
before or five days after parturition may
be sold and the sale of milk from cows
fed on unwholesome food or kept in un-
sanitary places, or from COWS affected with
disease, is prohibited:
The only change of Importance made by
the committee was in reference TO the
clause creating the Office OF Inspector OF
Milk
The committee decided that inasmuch as
no such officer was provided for by the
tax levy they could not see their way
clear to paving his salary and that the re-
sponsibility must devolve upon the Board
OF Health.
Otherwise the order was satisfactory to
all the memb ers, and will be presented to
the Board of Supervisors at its next meet

OF Harvey. incidentally he mentioned
Lavoisier, who persisted in the French
revolution under Robespierre, who de-
clared that France had no use for chem

The great discovery made by Harvey,
who found that the blood went to the heart
through the veins and from it by the
arteries, was announced in little book of
100 pages in Latin. He was the physician
to James First and Charles First He was

although his doctrine, when it was an

DRISCOLL'S TRIAL.
The First Case Against the Pool
Sellers Belonging to the "Big
Eipht,''

Jerry Driscoll, the bookseller at 90
Leidesdorff street, was on trial yesterday
before Judge Joachimsen on charge OF
violating the Ebert ordinance prohibiting
the sale of pools on horseraces outside the
Enclosure where the races take place.
The testimony for the prosecution was
to the effect that Sergeant Shea's squad Of
police purchased tickets from q clerk in
the employ of Jerry Driscoll. The one
particular ticket in evidence called for a
wager OF % cents on the horse Kowalsky.
That horse wen the race, and the police
officer drew down his winnings, and no
commission was charged him for the
handling of the wager.
Attorney W. W. Foote, who has been
specially engaged by the defense to assist
Attorneys ]. H. Dickinson and Jullus
Kahn, conducted the cress-examination.
He argued that it was Incumbent upon
the prosecution to prove that the money
placed with Driscoll's clerk was not tele-
eraphed to the racetrack at Ingleside to be
wagered there. Further than that, he
asked that the case be dismissed, as the
charge was made against Driscol, while
the evidence OF the prosecution showed
that Driscoll did not handle the money,
nor did he issue the pool ticket. The argu-
ment was continued until this morning.

told that if he would put all his availa BILE
assets that were exempt from execution
into the hands of a trustee for the benefit
of those to whom he was owing be would
be discharged from all further claims.
This, he alleges, was done, and he sup
posed he was at liberty to go OH his way
poorer but wiser man. On October 1 of
$780, however, the defendants by the
threats, menace and intimidation men
toned forced MIN to sign the notes. This
transaction, he says, took place after he
had turned over his assets and supposed
he was free of obligation. Later the bank
transferred the notes. aggregating $252 81,
to Marcus Lasar, v no sued on them in
March, 1898, and obtained judgment,
which Gollober was compelled to pay in
order to save having an execution levied
on his property.
The plaintiff states in his complaint that
the directors of the bank knew that the
notes were not legal from the manner in
which they were obtained, and sues for
the amount he was compelled to pay, with
costs

lieutenant-colonel was necessarily con-
fined to observation-disclosures, and Colonel
O'Connor, not being of that rank, was not
eligible for Endorsement. The choice lay
among the three existing officers of that
rank, and among them only.
Similarly Captain Tilden (retired), not
being major, was no more eligible, under
the orders, for Endorsement for that office
than was any non-military citizen
Military authorities state further in the
case of Colonel O'Connor that it is unpre-
cedented for an officer to be lowered in
rank for the sake OF giving him a COM
mand. if indeed such reduction in rank be
not impossible. A lieutenant-colonel may
be assigned to a cOlonel'S command, they
say, or may be made colonel by brevet, but
the brevet cannot be made to work the
other way. Regular army officers also
comment unfavoraby upon Colonel o Con-
nor's Willingness to undergo reduction in
rank for the sake of securing a command.

SOCIALIST SENTIMENTS.

inp.

The socialists were addressed by Morri-
son Swift and other speakers in Mozart
Hall upon the subject of the Government
ownership of railroads, last evening.
The principal point was made that an
equal proprietary right by the public IN
this or other property would give the net
profit 10 the Government and not to IN
dividuals.
Swift also held that the laborer had no
real part in the present war talk and
neither should he have.
Let the politician and the capitalist
do the fighting" said the speaker, with
the money-lenders of England, and let the
poor men of both countries stay at home.
They will have enough to do if they look
out for their individual wants. Those
who are yearning for gold and glory may
get out their guns and go to shooting"

THE bill prohibiting interstate COM
merce in prison-made goods which was
introduced in congress has been favor
ably reported to the house by the COM
mittee to which it was referred. This
bill, if it passes congress as now seems
probable, will prevent any article made
in state prison from being shipped to
any other state. The law will practi-
cally abolish contract labor in all penal
institutions, for it is we'll known fact
that at least seventy-fve per cent. of
thegoods manufacturedin these institu-
tions are sent to other states. The clos
ing of these markets will render it i'm
