JERSEY HEALTH METHODS
ANTIQUATED AND INADEQUATE,
SAYS JUDGE TANNING.
State Board Lacks Power and Juris-
diction and Conflicts With
Other Bodies.

TRENTON. N. J., August 13-Judge Will
liam NJ. Lanning of the United States dis
tr1ct court told the assembly Investigating
committee, before whom he was called as a
witness yesterday. that in his opinion the
methods employed by New Jersey in dealing
with questions affecting the public health
were both Anticipated and inadequate. Judge
Lanning might qualify as an expert on this
subject, as for twenty years before his ele-
walton to the bench he was counsel for the
state board of health. of which he Is now a
| member. His was exactly the kind of tes-
timony for which the committee has been
searching. and he was asked to express
his views in more detail.
Creation of State Board.
After giving a brief history of the legis-
lation pertaining to health matters since
the formation of the state board in 1877
Judge Lanning said that the board Is lack
ing In both powers and jurisdiction Its
functions are purely advisory and it Is not
In position to enforce its rulings. He
thought there should be department of
health having supervision over all matters
pertaining to the public health instead Of
number of commissions and departments
having different objects and not infre-
quently conflicting Jurisdictions. Such a
system as he proposed would make a very
important department, with a broad scope
and wide powers-too large. he thought, to
be controlled in all its details by any one
executive head.
Organization Of Department.
To prevent the department becoming un-
wieldy. Judge tanning thought. 1t should
be made UP Of bureaus. each having it's
own duties to perform. but responsible to
one head. One bureau should have charge
of sanitary Inspections its duty being to
investigate all conditions detrimental to
public health There should be a bureau of
vital statistics. gathering the data now
obtained. but having improved legal ma
chinery for enforcing returns from physi-
clans midwives and ministers. Another
bureau should have charge of animal dis
eases. including all diseases communicable
to the human family. Under the present
system the state board of health has juris-
d1ction in cases Of CHAMBERS. anthrax and
some other diseases of cattle, but not of
tuberculosis. which Is in charge of de-
partment associated with the state board
of agriculture. Judge Lanning thought
that one bureau could exercise supervision
over public water supplies and sewage dis
posal and another over food and drugs in
Guiding creameries and dairy products.

tory of the nation which has founded it
become its own"
In 1927 the state of Maryland organized
society somewhat in rivalry with the Amer
lean. and subsidized it largely. 1t estab-
lished it's colony to the eastward of Liberia.
A few years later the state of Mississippi
formed another one. and in many other
states there were cooperating organiza-
lions.
Growth of Liberian Colony.
The result was the colony of Liberia grew
slowly but surely-although not without go
ing through much travail-into a fixture
BY 1888 the colony had attained consider
able consistency The state of Maryland
was still independent The two states had
several wars with the natives. and kept on
expanding territorially, and 10000 natives
had become citizens. Then came declara-
ton of independence in January, 1916 From
this time dates the history of the republic
of Liberia. into which it's neighbor. Mary

The latest estimates of the total popula-
ton of the country are much higher than
former ones, and IL Is now claimed to have
1000. 900 people. The American Lberian
settlers occupy the coast and river valleys.
and the interior districts are inhabited by
native tribes under their authority. This
Ltberian "hnterland' Is said to be still as
little known as any part of Africa, II not
the least known. 1t is densely forested. and
interior tribes are pygmies and others are

The House Committee on Public
Lands resumed its labors on the Lanai
exchange last night.
As the drag-net of inquiry came to
the surface, after II strong pull, 1t
contained u Lanai fact that was
plunglng and tapping around in an
endeavor to escape, but the commit
tee landed 1t. The fact proved to he
that l.. l.. McCandless is the man who
made the suggestion of the Lanai
lands-Honolulu property exchange.
Chairman Kalelopu placed Commits
sioner Pratt on the stand and Repre-
sentative Rawlins propounded inter
rogations for two solid hours.
II there was any secret understand
ing between the Territorial officials
and Mr.. Gay 1t will surely come to
the surface II cross-examining by the
members of the committee can do It.
Commissioned Pratt testified to in
vestigations he had made regarding
certain property in Honolulu which

poses. Mr.. Pratt also testified as to
about the proposed Lanai exchange
and of the Governors arrangement

Mr., Pratt testified that 1t was tho

that Mr.. Gay was the only bidder wal
