RIVER NEWS

Although the complete report of
the local surveyor of customs has not
been made up, the preliminary de-
auctions from the years business
will show a big increase. For the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908,
there were IS steam vessels and 100
other boats, including various barges,
shifters, etc., recorded, bringing the
total number up to 1853. This only
covers the local district with Wheel
ing as headquarters. For the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1909, the re-
port will show about 70 steam vessels,
and with the others counted in, will
bring the number up over the 100
mark. This is but another mark of
the prosperity that has returned, as
the biggest number of additional
boats were placed in operation with
in the last 60 days of the fiscal year.

At this time the Ohio river is be-
ginning to reach such a low stage
especially above Parkersburg, that
the steamboats, have to suspend bust
ness. With only three feet of water
in the channel at Wheeling and
other points in that vicinity, it will
probably be impossible for the
Virginia and Queen City to make
trips this week and 1t is likely, if
the water continues to fall that
the Cincinnati and POmeroy packets
will be obliged to tie up soon, leaving
the handling of river fe:sht to the
smaller packets, which vii be able
to run for some time to come.
The decline in the river work is q
considerable commercial loss to both
ooatmen and shippers. But while
the boatmen are losing thei= traffic
and the shippers are paying higher
tariff rates to the railroads the rivel
affords an almost ideal opportunity
for pleasure seekers. As matter o.
course motor boats and other small
craft are operated in all favorable
weathers but they are never so pop
ular as when the sand bars are show
ing.

ENTRANCE AND EXIT FROM
ROOMS WHERE LIQUOR IS SOLD.
Bill Now Pending Before Excise Com
n1ittee Characterized as A Fool Rill'
Hearing at Hartford.

Hartford. Conn, March 25-Charac-
terizing it as "a fool bill" and one
which would bring about an invalid
use Of the police power by the state.
former Prosecutor J. 3. Klein Of
Bridgeport argued against the bill
pending before the committee on ex-
else at the capitol this afternoon, which
provides that for customers. every en-
trance to and exit from rooms where
liquors are sold shall open upon and be
adjacent to a public street, except in
cases of reputable hotels, druggists and
wholesale dealers.
Beginning his argument, he said that
the provisions of the bill were the most
drastic that he I'D ever heard Of and
that the committee should. if it had the
power, refer it to the building commits
sion, and if no such commission exist
ed one should be created because the
bill would require every owner Of
pisces where liquors are sold to remod-
ell his building. He was asked by a
member of the committee to read the
bill, which he did, il thereby developing
that the measure did not provide that
all entrances or exits be closed but
that those for customers use open up
on a public street. He took up the
question of what constitutes custom
er. and said that it would be very diff
cult to prove whether man had been
a customer or had entered the place for
some other purpose. He was asked by
someone in the room whether such
measure II passed. would be constitu-
tional and he replied that while it
might be constitutional, it would be an
invalid exercise of the public power by
the state, a distinction he said which
the lawyer or the committee would
recognize
Frererick T. Orr opposed the meas

TUBERCULOSIS CATTLE
SHIPPED INTO CONNECTICUT.
Statement Made at Hearing Before
Public Health and Safety Committee.


Hartford, Conn, March 25.-Carloads
of cattle afflicted with tuberculosis have
been shipped into this state, killed and
sold for food, according to statements
made at the hearing this afternoon be-
fore the committee on public health
and safety at the capitol by Repre-
sentative knight of Salisbury.
He was speaking in favor of the bill
providing for an inspection of all cat
tie, sheep, swine, goats and slaughter
houses. and post mortem examination
of all carcasses of animals to be used
as food under the supervision OF the
dairy commissioner, under the stipula-
ton of the act and providing a penal
ty for violations thereof. DR.. knight
asserted that tuberculosis castle from
all over New England was shipped in
to the state from New York and Mas
cachusetts. He knew Of one man who
had bought a lot of such cattle just to
kill and sell in Connecticut.
Health Officer Wright of New Ha-
ven also favored the measure, as did
Representative Fisk of Newington and
others. Cattle Dairy Commissioner Az
Grill said that there was no law to pre-
bent bringing into this state of dis
eased cattle, and advocated some meas
ure which would require the cattle
brought into the state to pass a tuber
culosis test The disease, he said, was
an insidious one. and often cattle
which looked sleek and fat were az
hicted with it. He would have all cat
tie inspected at slaughter.
Fred Zebb of CRANKY, who formerly
had been a butcher, favored the idea
of inspection, and presented a bill for
the consideration of the committee
which would provide for the appoint
ment of not more than five deputy in
spectors. who should have authority
to act Immediately in any case of vio-
lation they found, and who should be
continually ION the road" as he put it.
Conditions he knew Of, he said. call
ed for such inspection.
r. Willard of Madison opposed the
bill, because he believed certain feat
ures would work to the detriment Of
the smaller concerns in the business.
He did not believe that cattleAR,ere the
only means through which tuberculosis
was spread.
Attorney ]. B. futile OF New Haven,
representing the Independent butchers,
believed that it was not possible to car
~ out the work of inspection under
the provisions of the proposed measure.
and advocated inspection by local and
county health officers. He opposed the
Whole bill on the ground that it would
work injury to the small dealers.
George T. Burgess of New Haven,
representing a large packing concern,
said he believed heartily in. inspection,
but thought the bill under considera-
ton crude, and pointed out that it
made no provision for federalsuper-
vision. He also objected to the charge
of ten cents per animal killed which
the bill would impose.
