DAIRYMEN's ASSOCIATION DEcTDEs
TO PURSUE THIS
COURSE
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
For Reimbursement for Condemned
Cattle Killed by City and State
Health Officials Under In
spection Law.

The Da1rymen's association took stems
last night to provide cattle to be sent
to the Luley packing house on Tuesday
and be used in establishing grades for
condemnation. The association was well
represented at the meeting and the uues-
ton of inspection and condemnation Of
cattle was thoroughly discussed. John l..

addressed the members, showing that the
wisest course for members of the asso-
clatton to pursue is to comply willingly
with the law, and use their efforts to
secure the passage in the coming legisa-
ture of the proposed bill, regulating and
grading the condemnation of cattle for
tuberculosis and providing reimburse
ment on a graded scale for the dairymen.
Mr., Townley advised the dairymen
strongly to avoid further legal contro-
versy and to withdraw their support of
the case threatened to test the eonstitu-
tlonaEty of the inspection law. He stat
ed that 1t would be futile to try to break
the law, since health laws have been uni
formly sustained during the past ten
years by supreme courts of every state
of the union. He spoke of the present
relation of the city and state health
boards with the association, expressing
the conviction that both considered the
dairymenS desires and were willing to
lend their support to any just measure.
Action was taken last night towards
securing cattle for the condemnation on
Tuesday. Nine were put on the list and
several dairymen expressed their willing
ness to send in cows. More will come in
later The cattle are to be sent to the
packing house on Monday and examined
on Tuesday. The state board of health,
city health department and the United
States government will have inspectors
present, and the meat inspectors of the
local board of health will also assist in
the condemnation. The cattle sent to be
killed will be examined. Those killed and
found slightly affected, permitting the
use of flesh as food, will be graded in
the first class. Various stages of the dis
ease will be graded in five descending

Detective Christensen Interrupts a
Palm Garden go"

The six-round sparring bout between
Dan Craig and Tom Evers at the Palm
Garden theater last evening. was stopped
by Detective John Christensen shortly
before the referee was ready to call time
in the last round. Just why Detective
Christensen. who had been standing near
the stage watching the go throughout,
felt called upon to Interfere when It was
all but over, after allowing the boxers
to rough it for nearly the limit, was
not understood by the spectators, as the
mix" was no rougher when Detective
Christensen interfered than at any other
stage. Afterward Chief of Detective Nc
Intire, who had witnessed the go. told
Detective Christensen that a mistake
had been made in stopping the contest,
as it was nearly over and that the pro-
ceedings had not warranted police in
reference anyway.
The go was the liveliest that has taken
place at the Palm Garden. Both men
went at it hammer and tongs from start
to finish. and only the pillows" worn,
prevented a knockout. Each man landed
hard ''soaks repeatedly. but the big
gloves prevented any serious damage be-
ing done. EVerS was the aggresSor, but
the referee gave no decision, because of
the police stopping the bout before time
was called.

for Temporary Officials.

President Asks Congress to Provide
for Temporary OHfciaIs.
WASHINGTON. April 18.-The presi-
dent today sent to congress the follow
ing message:
The time remaining before the 1st Of
May. when the act of April II. 1900, en-
titled 'fAn act temporarily to provide
revenue and a civil government for Puer-
to Rico. and for other purposes" will
take effect, appears to be insufficient for
requisite to the proper selection Of proper
persons to fill the important civil offices
provided for by the act The powers OF
the present government Will cease when
the act takes effect. and some new au-
thority will be necessary to enable the
officers now performing the duties Of
civil government in the island to con-
tinue the performance of those duties
until the officers who are to perform sim
liar duties under the new government
shall have been appointed and Qualified.
That authority cannot we'll be given at
present by the temporary appointment OF
the present officers to the new positions
under the act. for the reason that many
of the existing officers are officers of the
army, detailed to the performance of civil
duties, and section 1922 of the Revised
Statutes would prevent them from ac-
cepting such temporary appointments IN
der the penalty Of losing their commits
sions. The selection of the new officers
and the organization or the new govern
ment under the act referred to will be
accomplished with all practical speed,
but in order that it may be properly &C
complished, i recommend the passage of
a joint resolution to obviate the difficulty
above stated, William Mckinley.
To carry into effect the president
message, Mr. Foraker, chairman of the
Puerto Rican committee, introduced this
joint resolution:
''That until the officer to fill any of
flee provided for by the act of April II,
1900. entitled An act temporarily to pro-
vide revenues and civil government for
Puerto Rico and for other purposes.
shall have been appointed and qualified.
the officers now performing thescivil du-
ties pertaining to such office may con-
tfnue to perform the same under the au-
| thority of said act, and no officer OF
the army shall lose his commission by
reason thereof. provided that nothing
herein contained shall be held to extend
the time for appointment of new Off
GERS beyond Aug. l. 1900"
On motion of Senator Foraker, the
motion and message were referred to the
committee on Puerto Rico.
