Austin, Texas, December 12.-News was
received here tonight that state Health
Officer Or. George r. Tabor was proceeding
safely on his journey toward the Pacific
coast The special mission of Or. Tabor to
San Francisco has caused some little ap-
prehension, so 1t is learned, at El Paso and
other border cities. That there is some
cause for alarm OF the Pacific slope there
seems 10 be no doubt. The buhonc plague
which he goes to investigate for three years
has badled the worlds skin, dehed the
worlds power and travelled from the Orient
steadily toward the west
Dr. Tabor had not matured hts plans
when he left Austin last night, but stated
II his investigation Of the plague situation
on the slope justified him In believing that
Texas was IN any peril from the scourse
that heroic measures would be applied. and
the most rigid quarantine restrictions and
the law fearlesslv enforced TO prevent the
State fron being visited by this Eastern
pestilence.
