DISEASED COWS

KENTUCKY COURT or APPEALS
RENDERS IMPORTANT DECISION
IN TUBERCULOSIS CASE.

FRANKFORT. Ky. Oct. 6.-Judge
+ O,Resr. OF he Court OF Appeals, in an
=, opinion handed down Tuesday upholds
the contention OF the State Board Of
Health in the tuberculosis test cases
in the injunction suit OF John Wittwer
and others VS. Dr. j. NJ. Mathews and
others TO prevent the State Board
from condemning to death cows sus-
pected of having tuberculosis.
Judge O'Rear was selected to pre-
side in the case By the attorneys for
both sides, and he asked the other
judges to consider the matter with
him. They concurred in his opinion.
While the judgment is really that
of the Jefferson Circuit Court, it prac-
tically makes an appeal useless on ac-
count of the unanimous opinion Of the
Judges of the Appellate Court.
In his opinion the Judge says in
part:
In the nature of the case it would |
be as impracticable to first try out the
question in court whether the plain
.iff's cows are diseased as to call on
he jury to say whether general con-
iagration in a city makes it neces-
AIRY to destroy Intervening houses to
ave the remainder. Better kill the
ows than The children. Those cows
ffected are a menace to the public
ealth and, like a public nuisance,
hould be summarily handled like all {
ther public nuisances of equal dan ]
er are handled. We think the injunc- t
on prayed for should not be grant +

ACTION MAKES
PERFECT STORM
ADMIT THE REV. ARCHIBALD
BLACK TO MINISTRY IN
SPITE OF VIEWS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The action of
the New York Presbytery Monday in
admitting the Rev. Archibald Black
to the ministry despite the accusa-
lions of extreme liberalism Drough
against him, will be holly contested
by a number of prominent New York
pastors.
At the close of the meeting of the
presbytery a meeting of the dissent
ing members was held and it was de-
cided to make formal protest to the
synod of which the Ne wYork Pres
bytery is a part. 1t was added that
the question would also be put be-
fore the next General Assembly Of
the church
The meeting drew up formal artl-
Gle sof protest, stating that objections
were raised against Mr.. Black on the
ground that he rejected the infalli-
bility of the supreme authority of the
Scripture as rightfully determining his
faith; he said he did not know as to
the virgin birth; he doubted the rails
ing of Lazarus from the dead; he
doubted the actual physical rescurrec'
ion of the body from the grave.

BUSINESS SUSPENDED.
Banks Closed and Day Has Genuine
Holiday Appearance.

Business was practically suspended
in Columbia today in honor of the
School Rally Day. The banks were
all closed, and while the stores did not
close they did very little business and
at noon a large number of the clerks
and employees found their way to the
fair grounds. The county officials did
very little business the majority of
them going to the fair grounds.
1t was gala day for the candidates.
They were out in force. They were
all literally supplied with cards, large
and small, and these were handed out
to the sovereigns with lavish hand

them and members of the Board were
enthusiastic in praise of the very ex-
cellent quality of the menu and the
high order of the service.
The menu consisted of pork, beef
and mutton, all of which was barbe-
cued to a turn after the order of the
the South famous in song and story.
Every guest had cup of coffee, eel
cry, sliced tomatoes, pickles and
bread. Over 5000 wooden bread trays
were used to serve the crowd. The
committee purchased every tin cup in
the town for use in serving coffee and
then there was not near enough.
Over sixty head of sheep and hogs
were used and more than 100 pounds
of coffee were required. In addition
to this sixty fine old country hams
were served. A large force of ex-
Derienced hands commenced work on
he barbecue at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and their task was not com
oleted until this morning. They cook
I'd all night. The barbecue was in
,harge of John w. Jackson, Chairman,
Tom Shaw, N. L. Stokes and James
Hickman all of whom gave to every
etail their personal attention.
Every table had been served with
he menu before dinner was an
ounced. Within five minutes after
he word had been given that the meal
yas ready the tables were thronged
nd the inner man was being satisfied

PEOPLE WITHOUT CLOTHING OF
ANY KIND AND LACK SHELL
TER AS WELL AS FOOD.

MONTEREY, Mex, Oct. 6.-Reports
coming In from the isolated districts
of the State sof Nevo Leon and Ia
maulipas still show that a great deal
of restitution exists throughout these
districts and the suffering has been
made more acute by the sudden cold
wave which has previously in North
ern Mexico for the greater part of the
past week.
Consul General Hanna, representing
the National Red Cross Society, has
been distributing relief In these dis
tricts as much as possible by the en-
ployment of pack trains, one or two
being sent out daily. Persons sent in
charge of these trains on returning to
this city tell a story of the most har-
rowing kind. While communities
have been found without shelter of
any kind and in many cases without
clothing sufficient to protect them
from the weather.
Every enort is being made to relieve
this condition of affairs, not only by
the American Gonsuls at Mattamoros,
Tampico and Saltillo, as well as here,
but by the Citizens Relief Committee
of this city. The sufferers in Monte /
rey have been and are well provided
for. Little assistance is needed here
at the present time but out in the
country districts the story is different
Ever since the night of Aug. 26, the
greater part of the two States men,

communication and It has been with
the greatest difficulty that relief in
any shape has been gotten to these
people.

THOUSANDS ENJOY BARBECUE.
Splendid Menu Served to The Great
Throng at Noon.

II there were any hungry people
leaving the Fair Grounds this after
noon it was not the fault of Chairman
Jackson and his efficient committee in
charge of the barbecue. There was
plenty to eat and the service was
most satisfactory. When the hour

the general multitude. Three tables
had been arranged, one for the gen

ing 5000 people; another just to the
East of this table had been provided
for the school children It was ar
ranged to feed about $500 of the little
folks and right heartily did they en-
joy themselves. 1t was one OF the
finest outings that the school children
of this county have had in many a
day. Especial attention was given
them by the members of the commit |

THE SENATE AND THE GOVERNOR.

This journal hopes that the Governor will send in
Names but will let the offices of Treasurer and
Attorney General along for the present in charge
of deputies-Advertiser
This is pemicious piece of advice which hope and
believe neither the Governor the two officials whom the
Senate failed to confirm will be willing to follow. The idea
behind the suggestion of course leave the positions
until the Legislative session expires and then issue
commissions the two rejected officials. 1t may be
doubted whether either Mr. Campbell Mr.. Hemenway
would want accept such commission Certainly the Gov
ernor fOuting insulting coordinate branch of
government would be inviting trouble and setting
example 1t is that there presidents for
such course they the exceptions The law
subject and the Senate has acted within its
legal rights.
1t all true the Advertiser that the reiec
ton of Attorney Hemenway because he declar
ed fisheries bill of CoehOs to be absurd and nconsttu
tonal that Campbell rejected solely because he
objected by Robinson and COehO. Whether the
which Senators who voted against confirmation had fol
action sufficient is matter of opinion. And the
Senate is entitled to it's view of the matter.

new bonds, $36,2775O; deficit July 1,
1909, 500, 1850; total, $72S,S13O7
which deducted from estimated rev.
enue as above leaves $2,602, 1888.
From this take $2,546,41O appropriated
in Senate bill 1872 and a balance or
$50, S25.3S remains.
Additional appropriations in peno-
ing bills will take all OF this, leaving
little or nothing to be appropriated
by the next Legislature for the same
period, or for a working balance, or
for public improvements. If all liquor
licenses are turned over to counties
there will be a deficit of $92,5OO. The
sinking fund item of s51, S25.15 is bas-
ed on the supposition that only ST.
10000 of the possible S2,000,000 OF
bonds will be refunded and that not
until the second year of the period.
If $2,000,000 should be refunded the
second year, this item should be dou-
bled and if during the first year IL
should be quadrupled In any event
that must be the permanent basis on
which TO calculate.
THE PHARMACY BILL.
Senate bill relating to qualifications
of licensed pharmacists was explain
ed at length by its introducer, Chill
lingworth.
Fairchild disagreed with some of
the remarks, pointing out the grave
responsibilities of druggists in dispen-
cir oil corfo ~ nnfoppg
The bill passed second reading.
ICED FISH BILL.
House bill to prohibit the sale of
certain kinds of fish from cold stor-
age or off the Ice came up for second
reading with amendments proposed
by the health committee.
Knudsen, ridiculed the bill, arous-
ing a volley of dissent from his opin-
ion that not dozen people in the
Territory knew the fish in question
by name. The bill was only to give
a job to someone as an inspector of
fish.
President Smith, looking at the bill
without the amendments, melted a
clamor to kill the bill when he said
it would prohibit the sale Of fresh
oysters. AS the amendments named
the fish involved and as the oyster is
not fish, which the president was
| informed by a member, the bill pass
/ ed.
The insanity bill was deferred.
House bill to appropriate money for
the relief of the Hilo Electric Co. was
referred to the ways and means COM
mittee.
House bill amending the County
Act by increasing the salaries of Of
ficers of the County of Maui was re-
ferred to the ways and means COM
mittee.

President Smith, having called Vice
President Kalama to the chair, NOV
ed that the further consideration Of
the bill be deferred until Tuesday
next. Replying to Fairchild he denied
that a debt of four millions dollars
had been incurred since annexation.
The amount was somewhat over three
millions Also he took exception to
the charge of extravaganza in expen-
diture, although there might be some
slight exceptions. They should go
slowly about giving TO the counties
power to increase the taxes. He
spoke of the large area and sparse
population of the County of Hawaii,
comparing it with the rich and COM
pact County of Kauai. 1t seemed to
him that Kauai was selfish in urging
a policy that suited it but was not
adaptable to all the other counties.
He believed the Kula pipeline and per-
haps some of the other improvements
in the bill should be provided for.
Coelho wanted the bill considered
now item by item instead of deferr-
ing it.
Woods proposed to strike out ev-
erything but the Kula pipeline. The
Hilo waterworBs could be left out,
as all waterworks were being handed
over to the counties
Brown spoke in Hawaiian of the
great necessity of the Kula pipeline.
Moore was opposed to the issuing
of bonds. The Governor had given
them to understand that the water
works could be turned over to the
counties. The capitalists of Maui
should be prepared to advance $780,
900 for the Kula waterworks and take
mortgage from the County of Maui.
Vice President Kalama said there
were rs motions before the Senate but
he would put the one to defer con-
sideration until Tuesday
The motion carried.
Baker, after a lot of other business
had been transacted, moved to recon-
slider the action. There were several
hands raised in the negative and the
president ruled that unanimous con-
sent was necessary for reconsidera-
ton in the case of a matter deferred
to day certain.
Fairchild in the meantime obtained
permission to introduce the bill sub
mitted by the majority. He presented
financial statement of which the
following is an abstract:
Original estimate of available rev.
enue for 19O9-1911, 1881 ,54S45.
