MUCH TUBERCULOSIS
Veterinarian Declares Thzt it is
High Time Some Protsee
tive Measures BE
Ado pted,

The discovery made by DR.. Bowman,
dairy and food inspector, that twelve
out of fourteen cows in a dairy from
which milk is supplied to Canton Gus
toners are afflicted with tuberculosis,
an account of which was published in
the NewsDemocrat on Saturday, has
led the Massillon authorities to act.
Germs of tuberculosis have been
found in milk sold in that city, and
veterinary surgeons state that con-
sumption is prevalent among the cattle
of that vicinity. The board of health
has taken steps to prevent the further
sale of tainted milk.
Il know that some of the milk sold
in Massillon is infected by tubercular
germs" remarked Veterinary Surgeon
Groff, Tuberculosis, or consumption,
as il is more generally called. is to
some extent prevalent among the cattle
of this vicinity, and the milk of such
! cattle cannot but be tainted. The
spread of tuberculosis is the fault large

being caught in rain, or some other
unimpoItant cause-and he thinks So
until death has occurred. There Is nc
disease that comes upon animals SC
stcaltbily as tuberculosis, and it IL as
| difficult for the veterinaries to check
its advance as for the physicians to
help human beings suffering from the
same malady.
There are many infants in this city
subsisting mainly on the milk of cows

which renders the work of the tubcrcu-

Reports from Cleveland indicate that
Auditor Reed. OF Stark county, will have
occasion 10 explain why he does no:
object to the small property owner be-
ing taxed for 40 per cent of the value
of his property and votes to allow the
railroads TO get away with tax Of
only 13 per cent. Mayor Tom Johnson
of Cleveland, has gone into the courts
and has insisted that the auditors raise
railroad valuations. They will now
have a chance to show why they favor
the railroads. II is a paten: fact that
IL the railroads paid in proportion 70
the amounts paid by small property
owners. there would be no necessity for
the bond issue of s5O,Oc0 proposed by
Commissioner Crawford ard fathered
by Auditor Reed.
The action of Auditor Reed and 9th.
ers in the matter of the appralsement
of the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheel
ing road, calls for the most severe cen.
sure. Mr.. johnson was present with
facts that tended to show that the rail
road was not being assessed hign
enough. but that the burden of the
farmers, the wage-earners, the busi'
ness men. the manufacturers and all
classes of citizens would be greatly re-
liayei if the railroads, with immense
earning capacities, were compelled to
paw taxes on a fair valuation of their
property. The mayor found that.
either because of the possession of
masses on the railroads or from some
other cause, the auditors were deter
mined to assess the Cleveland, Lorain
and Wheeling road about II per cent
of what its real valuation is, and he
wanted to show the auditors that they
co.ld consistently raise this valuation,
They would not listen. He then went
into court through his attorney. and
had writ of maudamus issued, COM
pelling the auditors to Summon the
railroad officials, and from them CLEAN
facts that would show how ridiculous
the valuation OF lilt Etdu NdS' oS PioNNN
by the auditors. Mr.. Johnson himself
informed the auditors who were present
that the order had been issued, but
before the deputy sher:e could serve
the papers the road had beeen appraiS-
ed. They knew the papers were COM
ing. vet insited that the road be let
down easy. Why? What excuse has
Auditor Reed to offer to the peo-
ple of Stark county for such IA
grant violation of trust? If that road
ought to pay more, why didn't he use
every means at his command to make
it ray more? Why does he insist that
the small property owner assume the
burdens of taxation? Why did he not
insist that the valuation of the Penn.
syivania company and other roads that
run through this county be raised? Why
is he anxious to get that s50,00n bond
issue through. while protecting the
railroads, who ought to pay into the
treasury more than $4,000 more than
they do?

Saturday night the majority of the minor league men were homeWard bound
 The first business taken up was the report of the national board of arbltra- ton. In the matter of the protest made by the Portland, Oregon, club, against the Buffalo club for the services of Players Newenham and Wiley, who are on the reserve list of both teams, the Buffalo management was directed to show cause why the men should not be returned to Portland. Bert Schills, who was taken by the Dayton club from Seattle. it was ordered, shall be returned to the Seattle club. The ap- plication of M. F. Hickey to be re leased from Lowell was denied.
 Secretary Farrell was ordered to rigidly investigate the claim made by the Waterbury club for George Pren- tiss, who, it is charged. umpired for Waterbury and played with another club last season under an assumed name. Subsequently, it is charged, he signed with the Boston American league team.
