QUARANTINE MATTERS.
Members of San Francisco Board Of
Health Are Here.

DR.. Cohen, Quarantine Officer, and
Drs. Lawler and Barbat of the San
Francisco Board OF Health. were, in
this city yesterday, it is stated, with a
view to securing the co-operation of
Governor Gage in their effort to have
satisfactory ettlement with the Fed
eral Government respecting quarantine
matters in San Francisco.
The original trouble arose out of the
clash of authority in the matter of
quarantining the supposed plague vin-
tested japanese steamer Nippon Maru.
which arrived at San Francisco on
June 2Sth. After it's arrival the
bodies of two of it's seamen were found
floating in the bay. and analysis by DR..
Barbat showed them to have been af
fiicted with bubonic plague.
The Federal quarantine officials at
Angel Island fumigated the steamer
and furnished its skipper with a clean
sheet for San Francisco. The Board
of Health, however, stepped in, placed
a quarantine embargo on the vessel
and sent it back into the stream for
further fumigatiOn. and kept its crew
in quarantine until satisfied that none
of them were afflicted with the plague.
Several times before there had been
similar clash between the State and
Federal authorities in similar cases,
and an effort is being made by which
the State authorities may be empow-
cred to enforce local quarantine, when
in the opinion of the Board of Health,
it becomes necessary.
Dr. Cohen was seen by Record
Union reporter last night, and ques-
toned relative to the mission of the
members of the board. He said: You
may deny for me that we are here on
any business whatever We are SIM
ply on a brief vacation, and we find
t he weather so pleasant that we have
decided to remain over for a day. The
story that we are here to see about
State Board employees salaries is false,
as is also the rumor that we are here
to get the Governor to help US in our
Federal fight" -.@t-N

HE CUT A WIDE SWATH.
The Transformation Undergone by
Juan Romaro.


Juan Romaro is in Jail, and on the
slate in the outer office the cabalistic
word drunk stands over against hia
name.
But if Juan has measured a cot in
the city prison, he has also lived off
the fat of the land. Wednesday night
the best the Golden Eagle could af-
ford was not good enough for him;
last night he grumbled at the accom-
modations to be had in cell 3 at the
City Prison.
Juan Romaro, if that is his name, is
not handsome to look at. and nothing
in his makeup would indicate that he
was either a millionaire or the son of
a millionheir. Regardless of that fact,
the police say he was introduced to
Mr.. Wilcox, night clerk at the hotel,
as being a sheep owner whose wealth
was represented by a string of seven
figures, and it is understood that the
clerk believed, and believing, set out
the best the house afforded. Romaro,
it is said. claimed to have no funds,
but left the impression that his name
across a check would mean undreamed
of thousands, and having succeeded in
getting foothold for the impression
borrowed 50 from the clerk until 10
o'clock yesterday morning.
Those who watched Romaro cut his
swath say he did it nicely His bill at
the hotel amounted. it is said, to S22
and when about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon he was picked up hopelessly
drunk, he still had the police say, 20
cents of the 81 borrowed from the night
clerk.
The police say that Juan Romaro ia
what he looks-a hobo from the ground
up. Whether or not they are correct
remains to be seen. and whether or
not any other charge than the ons
mentioned is placed against him, prob
ably lies with the proprietor of tbs
