Such Is the City and County
Hospital, Says Mavor
Phelan.
The Ladies Given Credit for
Supplying the Unemployed
With Work.
A Conference of Charities Held at
the Occidental Hotel-The
Charter.

The City and County Hospital is dis
grace to the city of San Francisco" said
Mayor Phelan in an address to the Con-
ference OF Charities at the Occidental
Hotel yesterday. He was speaking about
the various charities of San Francisco and
the need Of the people putting clause in
the charter to be drawn up by the free
holders after election next month, 10 the
effect that the charities should receive
more attention and become more particu-
larly municipal affair.
He also said that at meeting Of the
State legislators they passed bill to
have the Supervisors of this city appropri-
ate $500, 900 for building a new County
Hospital. The point was contested, and
the Supreme Court decided that the legis-
lators had no power over municipal af-
fairs, and consequently no appropriation
has been made for that purpose.
The City and County Hospital and the
Almshouse are the greatest charities that
the city supports and surely some appro-
nriation should he made 10 give the city
a new hospitt Il and one which it will be
proud of, said the gentleman.
In speaking Of the day set for the elec-
tion OF the freeholders he said that he lid
not know why they set the day they did,
the 9th of D Gem ber, as twas busy Gay
so soon alter Christmas unless it was that
the merchants the most interested ones
in this election. could not give it their
time.
The Mayor sad that the credit for the
idea of giving the unenp Dyed of this
city work by building the boulevard be-
longed to the ladies connected with the
charitable organiza i)ns of this place.
The other speakers during the after
noon were Harold Wheeler and Osyod
Putnam. Mr.. Wheeler during the course
OF his remarks stated that the way in
which the committee OF one hundred is
e, ing up The charter, saying what this
man will do and this one must not do,
and when he can do anything, seemed to
Indicate that the m embers thought every
man who was going into office a thief,
rather than al honest man who is to be
trusted with a responsible municipal
office.
The idea of the conference was to give
those present an idea OF what the charter
that the freeholders are to draw up will
be so that they might use their influence
to have some clause in it that would help
the charities of this city, which are con-
sidered by many very badly in need Of
help,

men have been able TO defeat useful and
sensible legislation on the milk question.
1t mas undoubtedly been done by poililcal
pull. 1t IS the opinion of every authority
OF nole and of all local doctors of any I'M
portance that cows that are shown to have
CONSUMPTION should be slaughtered.
1T is equally certain that the bes diagno-
sis in the world is that made by the tuter-
culln test. There was for time a law by
which we could kill the cattle. Anumb ber
OF COWS were slang cred under the tu ber-
culln test, and as result their lungs and
other organs were shown 10 be diseased.
The health otficer. made an exhibition OF
the COWS In life and of their carcasses after
death. This showed that many cattle
that looked perfectly well were full OF dis
ease. The result OF this fierce attack on
the diseased cattle was that the powerful
dairy influence 'on the Board OF Super
visors got togt ther and repealed the law.
The same in nfiuence had another law de-
signed for the city defeated in the Council
The local board Is satisfied that there Is
still great deal of bad milk sold in this
city, and ii is their intention to do all in
their power to have a law passed by which
there will be a check on the sales of in
fected milk" "
Ii is the opinion of many doctors that
hall or more of the milk supply Of Oak
lanG comes from cattle that have never
been pected. " hile they do not de-
clare that all uniDspec cted cattle are dis
eased, they do say that The proportion is
so large that it is dangerous risk to al
low such to be sold without careful in
srection. 1t is their purpose 10 begin a
systematic agitaIlon OF the question.
They will again urge the passage OF a
la similar 10 the one that was recently
defeated by the influence of the dairy men,
arranging In advance to make better
fight than their last one.
1t has always been a mystery 10 the
doctors how it happened that the Council
was tie on the last roposed law. They
say they took the Councilmen to see the
slaughter Of the diseased cattle, that some
OF them were overcome with the sight, de-
claring that it was crime for such cattle
to be used. and that some OF the very

Commander Booth-Tucker's principal
OBJ ject in coming to the coast is to look
after the colonization of poor but worth v
families in the Salinas Valley.
This colonization scheme is occupying
nearly the entire attention of ior Win
chell and Mrs. Major Winchell. The
Winchells have charge of the social work
of the army on the coast.
Major Winchel and ex-Mayor L. R.
Ebert went 10 SoIedad, Salinas Valley,
yesterday. While away they will make
arrangements for putting in an irrigation
plant at the colony. 1t is their purpose ie
set up sixty horsepower engine and
pump water onto the lands.
C. T. Romie, from whom the army pur
chased the land, has offered to put in the
pump or advance the money for its erec
ton.
Five oight-horse teams have been haul.

thirty houses, store, blacksmith shor

Dr. Dunn yesterday, by which we may

The point that the Board OF Health is
most encouraged about i. the fact that
! most OF the dairymen in the vicinity OF
| Oakland are with them. The majority
| frankly submit to the inspection OF cattle,
comply with every requirement and
produce cows and milk for inspection.

The following are opposed to the m eth
ods of the Board of Health: Blair S

The war between the doctors with ad-
vanced ideas and the dairymen may be
stated, in a sentence. 10 be a battle be-
tween u ose who believe consum ption
bounds by reason of the sale of milk
from infected cattle, and those who have
uninspected cattle on hand, and whose
livelihood and business depend on the
sale OF milk. The doctors swear by the
tubercuin test. They say they have noth-
ing TO gain by the enforcement OF the tu-
berculin test, as its enforcement would
diminish the numbe of cases of consum p
ton and thereby lessen the business oil

however, and mem bers OF the Board OF
Health, they believe they ought to 10 all
in their power 10 stop the spread OF dis
ease.
At the last session OF the Legislature
Governor Budd strongly urged the
tuberculin test. The dairymen of the
State, who seem to be opposed 10 any in
reference with what they call their right
to sell whatever they please under the
abel of milk, gathered at the capital and
defeated the law. Inis is what they have
done in Oakland, l. such men as the doc
