THOUSANDS
OF COWS TO
BE KILLED
(sentinel's speoial News servicel


Washington, Oct. 29.-In an effort
to exterminate bovine tuberculosis,
thousands of infected cows will be
killed within the next few months.
by order of Secretary Wilson, of the
department of agricultural. This
plan has beer broached to President
Roosevelt, and has received his ofic-
ial Endorsement.
Recent tests made by the depart
ment OF agriculture of the effects
of the use of milk from diseased
cows. especially on babies, have re-
suited in reports of such an alarm
ing nature that Secretary Wilson has
decided that the public welfare de-
mands the elimination of the plague.
Many cows have already been killed
in the district Of Columbia and the
territories, where Secretary Wilson
has the power to inforce the pure
food laws. In the states, where
the government pure food law is i'm
perative, the secretary will invoke
the powers of the interstate COM
merce commission, which forbids the
shipment of milk that has not been
tested from one state to another.
Rather than have the markets closed
to them, 1t is believed that dairy
men will submit to have their herds
examined by government experts, and
the diseased cows destroyed. The
shipment of uninspected milch cows
from one state to another will also
be prevented, and cheese and butter
may also be affected by the proposed
regulations.

TARIFF IN AUSTRALIA.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
SYDNEY. August 31.-The tariff pro-
posals, which were unexpectedly announced
by Sir William Lyme. are the federal gov
ernment's reply to the British ministerial
"baneing Of the door" If the home au-
thorities had shown a disposition to con-
slider with an open mind the offer Of the
commonwealth the federal government
would have felt justified in giving substan-
tial preferences. but as the British govern
ment absolutely refused even a preference
on imposts which were already dutiable
the federal government regains its freedom
to consider Australian Interests only
Hence the key to Sir William Lyne's pro-
posals is the determination strongly to sup
port the development of local manufacture
ers and especially of locally produced raw
material while at the same time British
imports are insured advantages over for
eign imports.
The conviction is spreading here that the
power of resistance Is seriously hampered
while the commonwealth Is too greatly de-
pendant on imports which can be inter
cepted by an enemy's raids Consequently.

main self supporting will have the effect
of relieving the strain on imperial defense
by minimizing the Inconvenience Of Austria

Britain unbolts the door many mutually
beneficial readjustments will be possible.
In the meanwhile the preferential prfnci-
pie Is firmly embodied in tariff legislation.
