TO SUPPRESS PLAGUE
BY NATIONAL AUTHORITY
California Board Of Health
Charged With Neglect,

with proper management and con
tinued activity on the part of the Cali
fornia health officers. there need be no
fear; with poor management and no ac-
tion by these authorities. there is the
greatest danger" this is the present
outlook as to the bubonic plague IN cali
fornia and Mexico, as it appears to D-.
". c. Woodward. Health Officer of the
District of Columbia.
A conference on the situation vas held
in this city January I9, between the
surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
Service and representatives, of the
bureaus Of health from a number of
States. The proceedings, it has just
leaked out, were decidedly exciting.
Stringent measures were proposed tc
stamp out this Oriental plague in China
town, san Francisco. and heated debates
followed in which there was much ad-
verse criticism of the California board
OF health and the United States Marine
Hospital Service.
Resolutions passed at this conference
announced that the plague existed be
yond all doubt in san Francisco- that
the fact was established after repeated
Investigations made by the Marine Hos
pItal Service and members OF the Cali
fornia board of health; that the plague
in any community is an injury to that
community; that the present plague in
San Francisco is due TO the persistent
presence OF the plague in that part OF
the city known as Chinatown" that
the situation there is due TO the gross
neglect Of official duty by the State
board OF health of California and the
obstructive influence Of the recent gov
eTnor Of the State, by the failure of the
city government of san Francisco to
support the city board of health. and by
the obstacles opposed to the opera
tions OF the United States Public Health
Service
The Surgeon General was instructed
to keep the members of the conference
advised as TO progress made by san
Francisco officials as we'll as those of
the State Of California in fighting the
plague. and make a full report two
weeks before the regular annual confer
ence, which is to be held here in Nav.
Little has been done by San Francisco
authorities. and unless they act before
the May meeting, the health authorities
OF the National Government viii cast
about for some authority to take the
matter in hand and quarantine the
State.
Scant information OF the conference
proceedings was given out. although Tjr.
John s. Fulton. of Maryland. introduced
motion TO invite newspaper reporters
to attend. His motion was seconded
BY DR.. J. N Hurry, Of Louisiana. As
Surgeon General wyman presided At
the conference. 1t was his duty to ex-
send the invitation Instead o. doing
this, however. instructions were issued
10 the chief clerk Of his bureau to in
form reporters no statement would be
given out except by the Surgeon General
after the conference closed. Nothing
official has been given except a partial
report Of the conference in which the
Surgeon General states 1T is proposed
10 publish the full proceedings Of. this
conference IN a subsequent issue Of the
public health reports"
The report has not yet been printed.

4 STEWARD FILES
A STRONG PROTEST


To the Editor Of The Times:
With your permission I would like 10
answer an article headed Customer
Robbed TO Pay the Cook" which you
printed in your issue Of the 26th.
As steward for several Of the most
prominent hotels in Washington for the
past two years I viii say that. having
dealt with only the honest. legitimate
meat dealers, I have never demanded
had offered 10 me, or received in that
period one cent for my trade, and being
one Of the very few stewards who do the
buying tthe managers or proprfetors gen
orally doing this part Of the work) con
slider myself the rule and not the excep-
ton.
I only deal with the honest. legitimate
dealers, consequently am not acquainted
with certain people who acknowledge
that they charge the consumer o. cents
on the dollar more than the actual value
of meats. IN order that they may pay the
buyer, the consumers employe, a com
mission. But il this age, when the hotel
proprietor knows the price of produce
as well as the steward OF buyer. the
knock" OF these people can only be
attributed 70 business Jealousy.
