PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS
To Consider an international Health
Service


WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-One of the
matters which it is expected will receives
attention at the coming sessions of the
International conference OF American
States, to be held in the City of Mexico
this month, is the establishment of an
International heIith service Some time
ago the American delegates to The con-
ference requested Surgeon G4neral Wal

service, to submit suggestions, and IN re.
Spouse thereto ne sent to former Senator

contemplates an international agreement
upon measures for the elimination of vel
low fever frcm seaport cities or towns
which are, or have been, endemic hab-
Hats of the disease.
Surgeon General Wyman proposes the

commission, to consist of five members,

OF which shall befto visit infected towns
or seaports and report upon needed sant-
tary measures The report is to he mes
with the president of the republic where
the infected port is located, and with the
bureau of American republics. 1t then
becomes the duty of the authorities to
put into force the measures recommends
ed. TO insure the execution Of these
measures, Surgeon General Wyman pro
poses the imposition of discriminating
tonnage duties on vessels arriving from

BAN ON FOUNTAINS
STREET WATERING PLACES TO BE
SHUT OFF BY oHAGE'S
ORDERS
DUE , SPREAD OF CHAMBERS
Prevalence of Disease Has Eecome
Alarming and Health COmmis-
sioner Decides ON
Radical Move.

If the order issued yesterday by DR..
Ohage is obeyed by the water departs
ment, every animal drinking fountain
in the city win be deprived of it's sup
ply of water after today.
Itis simply a revival of the controv-
srsy between the two departments,
though somewhat heightened by the
fact that there is now an epidemic in st.
Paul, the disease being known as the
CHAMBERS, which up to date has sent to
the happy hunting grounds a number OF
fine horses.
The letter in which was embodied t. e
order was sent to Secretary Caulielf
of the water board, yesterday, and
which, after citing tie fact that despite
his endeavors, the troughs are still III
an unclean condition, requests that the
water supply be turned off and to re-
main SO until the board can see fit to
keep the fountains in a proper sanitary
condition
II am compelled to do this said Or.
Ohage yesterday. because of the
horses that have died of CHAMBERS tile
past week. Those cutoffs have never
been removed or even regulated to the
extent OF keeping a constant flow of
water, and in consequence an eXcpe-
mains in the BOWL
What if they fail to shut off the
water, doctor?' was asked
''Well, you have lard of Mrs Nation
and her little Ratchet? I might do a lit
tie Nationizing myslef.''
Secretary Caulfeld admitted last
night receiving DR.. Ohage's letter and
said that the matter had been placed
in the hands of the city engineer to adj
just. He said the water would be cut off
as requested. but refused to admit that
the cutoffs had anything to with the
condition of the troughs.
Every horse that drinks at one of
these troughs leaves some pollution, and
II is impossible to get rid of it. 1t re-
mains on the edge of the BOWL said
Mr. Caulield.
The National Biscuit company so far
has lost eight horses because of the
epidemic of CHAMBERS, and it is said
other owners have suffered correspond
ingly. The spread of the epidemic IS
credited to the troughs.
The removal of the troughs will be a
great hardship to transfers and all
horse owners, as few carry in their sta
bles facilities for watering any number
of animals. It is thought DIR. Ohage
will refuse to allow the fountains to be
again operated unless the cutoffs are re-
moved.

Cambria Iron company, involving rights
IN patent process for making steel.
When the court adjourned last spring
there were twenty-eight cases which had
been argued but not decided. The most
important of these were
TWO INSULAR CASES.
one being another Dooley case from
Porto Rico, which involved the right
of the United States to levy and col
lect duties on goods going from this
country into Porto Rico after the Fora
ker law went into effect. There is pend.
ing also the fourteen diamond rings
case, which is the only one affecting the
Philippines. This cause arose upon the
arrest of soldier who brought four
teen diamond rings from the Philippines
into the United States without paying
duty. No law having been passed rel
ative to tariff rates TO and from the
philippines, the government has as
serted its right to levy and collect taxes
on all articles coming from the Philip
pines, charging the full Dingley rates.
The opposing counsel argued that as
soon as the Philippines became United
States territory there could be no duty
on goods from the islands 1t will be
remembered that in the Downes case
the court held that before the Foraker
law was passed goods from Porto Rico
were entitled to free admission, and
some believe that this opinion is fore
runner of the decision in the diamond
ring case. Many lawyers hold that the
continued military control in the Phil
ippines may have some effect in deter
mining the issues. At all events the
opinions in both these cases are awaited
with interest.
The senate judiciary committee room,
where the court meet temporarily,
has been fitted up ana made as con
venient as possible for the distinguished
tribunal.
