SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-No new
cases of plague or deaths from that dis
ease have been reported to the Board
of Health today The last case of al
legged bubonic plague was reported on
May 10. The Board of Supervisors and
the Board of Health will meet today
TO determine what action they will take
In the plague matter, in view of the
decision rendered by Judge Morrow
yesterday, prohibiting the incubation
or Chinese and Japanese residents.
Judge Morrow maintains in his de-
cision that unjustifiable discrimination
has been shown in the acts of the
Board or Health. After quoting the
resolutions OF the Board declaring bu-
bonic plague to exist in San Francisco,
also the law under which the Board
acts the decision says:
II thus appears that suitable pro-
vision has been made in the city charter
Tor the necessary legislation providing
rules and regulations to secure proper
sanitary conditions in the city and for
the protection of the public health but
we are not advised that the Board of
Supervisors has taken any action what
ever in that direction, and the resolu-
tion OF the Board of Health furnished
the Court falls to disclose the method
It has adopted for that purpose under
the conditions 1t has declared to exist
We need not, however, dwell upon the
manifest lack of legislative authority
to enable the Boara of Health to deal
with this important subject 1t is suf-
neient for the prssent purpose to mem
tlon the fact as one of the features of
the situation to be considered in con-
nection with the regulations which the
complainant alleges have been imposed
upon him and other Chinese residents
OF the city by the defendants
The Judge qrsJtes authorities to show
that Haffkine's prophylactic is not a
preventive. 1T therefore appears that
the administration of Haffhine's pro-
phylactic to Chinese persons departing
from San Francisco has no relation to
the public health of the inhabitants of
this city, and cannot be sustained by
any such claim on the part of its Board
OF .tealth."
AT meeting of the Board of Super
visors resolution was introduced ask
ing the Board of Health to resign.
me Board of Health last evening

Baum, declaring that there had been
