Quarantining of the State of Cali

SAN FRANCISCO, September 10
In Sacramento yesterday, DR.. d. D.
Crowley, member of the State Board
of Health, presented a resolution look
ing toward the quarantining of the
State of California against all persons
suffering with consumption. The pre-
liminary resolution was adopted and
there was deal of sympathy express
ed with it. So there is a possibility
that decision may be reached to sta
ton medical inspectors along the Dor
ders and turn back every person afTlic-
ted with pulmonary tuberculosis. As
California has been considered a Mecca
for consumptives, DR.. Crowleys reso-
luton already has stirred up a deal of
discussion among the doctors. When
DR.. WinsloW Anderson was a member
of the State Board of Health, he pro-
posed to let the consumptiVes come.
but to rigidly isolate all cases, whether
visitors or of local development. The
recent Tubercula Congress urged that
all countries make a systematic fight
against this disease, which carries off
