MAY KEEP OUT CHINESE HIDES.
They Are Alleged tn BE Infected With
AsthraX.

Asthrax.
Some weeks ago the Treasury Depart
ment received information that four en-
ployes of the Falls Creek tannery near
Dubois, Pa, had died after drinking water
from Falls Creek, which receives the DRAIN
age from the tannery. An investigation
by the local authorities is said to have
disclosed the fact that q large number of
hides which had been imported from China
were infected with the disease known as
anthrax. and that during the process
of tanning the bacteria had poisoned the
waters of the creek, with the result stated.
The. present tariff act prohibits the i'm
portation of hides into the United States,
except from countries which the Secretary
of Agriculture may designate as free from
cattle diseases. In view of the information
received from Falls Creek the treasury
officials have in preparation a letter to the
Secretary of Agriculture recommending
that the matter be further investigated.
and If the facts are found to be as stated
that he issue an order prohibiting the Inn
portatson Of Chinese hides into the United
States.
