(From Thursdays Daily.)

Nrfoih lhuISudS Daily.J
The Board of Health is to begin i'm
mediately crusade against tubercular
cows, any number of which are said to
be used in the diaries on Oahu. The
Honolulu dairy cows have already I'M
dergone the tuberculin test and yester-
day the Board extended the authority
of DR.. Monsarrat, the government
veterinarian. to cover the whole island.
At the opening of the meeting yes
terday DR.. Monsarrat reported that at
the request Of c. Bolte he had visited
the latter's ranch to examine fourteen
cattle purchased by him from the Ahui-
manu- ranch. or these seven were
found to be infected with tuberculosis,
and DR.. Monsarrat saying that he had
no authority outside the district of Ko-
ma. simply caused the animals to
be segregated.
The doctor continued that Henry
Macfarlane had frequently asked him
to examine the cattle on his ranch but
whenever he attempted to do 1t he met
with trouble. On his last visit Nom
sarrat said, he had sent letter to
Henry Macfarane by messenger.
saying that he was ready to examine
the cattle. The reply was brought back
by the messenger from the manager Of
the ranch and not from Macfarlane and
was, TELL Mr.. Bolte and DR.. Monsarrat
to go to h.
when a man talks that way" said
Monsarrat, 1.-The proper way 10 go is to
take six Shooters
| He said also that all the dairy cows
in Honolulu had been examined. but
that outside he had no authority.
MANY of these diaries ship milk to
Honolulu and the cows should be in
spected also" said Monsarrat.
| DIR. Cooper then suggested that Mon
sarrat be given authority to examine
all dairy cows on the island of Oahu
and to condemn and kill all which had
tuberculosis. "They furnish milk to
the plantations II not to the city," he
said. He suggested also that the dis
trict of authority be extended to cover
the entire island of Oahu. This was
put in the form Of motion and formally
adopted.
Monsarrat said that the dairymen did
not believe tuberculosis hurt the cows
any, and to one of them he lad offered
to bring the carcass to Honolulu and
display the affected organs in down
town window.
THAT would ruin the beef business
here" the cattle-owner is reported to
have replied. DIR. Cooper said that ex-
periments had demonstrated to a GER
tainty that tuberculosis could be COM
municated from an animal to human
being and recited the case of physi-
clan who had taken the disease while
experimenting.
WANTS HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Jessie Keana petitioned to have
her flowing husband" sent to her at
the settlement as kokua. The petition
was referred to Supt. McVeigh.
Supt Mcveigh reported favorably on
the petition of Mrs Kaumualii to have
her husband come as kokua and the
request was granted. =
