Over the Charges Brought
Against Him.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Former Sec
retary of the Treasury Franklin Mac
Veagh who agreed TO a compromise OF
s123. 900 in the S1.000.000 oleomarger-
inc fraud cases is indignant at the
charges made against him by Con-
gressman Cox of Indiana and Judge
Landis OF Chicago.
McVeagh asserted that he had been
guilty OF every form of politeness."
The former secretary asserted that
the cases were not really fraud cases
at all. Oleomargarine makers had
been interested in a new oil produced
by a Louisville manufacturer and
which colored their product. he said.
The government laboratories and pri-
vate laboratories tested the oil for ar
tificial coloring- For long time no
trace of coloring was found Many
makers, sure that the government
would approve the oil, began its use.
When the government finally dfscoE-
cred coloring matter the makers were
notified and discontinued the use OF
the product. II was for the oleomar-
garine made with this oil that a back
tax was claimed. said Macyeagh.

Physicians Say That State
Boards Rules Are Not
Mandatory But Advisory
Upon Local Health Officer.
IMPOSSIBLE TO SET
A UNIFORM PERIOD
Resolution Passed That Ply
sician Shall Notify Health
Officer and That Latter
Shall Make Personal Visit.

In letter sent today to the public
service committee of the West Rich
mond improvement association by the
Wayne County Medical Society answer
is made to all charges of the commit
tee, against city health officer, in the
alleged scarlet fever epidemic in West
Richmond. The letter declares that
in the opinion of members of the
society the rules of the state board of
health are not mandatory upon the
local health officer but advisory only.
A resolution was adopted by the
physicians, asking that the health
officer assume sole charge and deter
mine by personal visit or by deputy,
when conditions indicate the lifting
of quarantine.
The letter in full follows:
''Gentlemen:
1--WE take pleasure in replying to
the public communication addressed
by you on March 9Th to the Wayne
County Medical Society. Your Assoc
iation is to be commended for it's in
terest in the public health and for it's
effort to lessen the prevalence Of con-
tagious disease We think that no evil
dence is needed here, to substantiate
the statement that the medical pro-
fession here as everywhere feels more
concerned and expends more effort for
the lessening of disease, than any
other class of citizens. We are glad
to cooperate fully with you in this
matter.
hn1ory To
us and give with each our answer.
THE rules of the State Board of
Health prescribe twenty-one days as
the minimum period for Scarlet-fever
quarantine and other precautions that
shall be taken to prevent the spread
of infection. Are these rules man
datory or advisory only"
Rules Advisory Only.
In our opinion these rules are not
mandatory upon the local health
officer but advisory only. We base
our belief upon the following state
ment of the Secretary of the State
Board of Health. d., Hurry, made in
letter to Health Officer Davis, after
consultation with the attorney gen.
eral: 1T is very plain that our
twenty-one day rule has no force be-
cause it conflicts with the provision
OF the law which gives the health
officer having jurisdiction full power
to quarantine in such manner and for
such time as may be necessary to pre-
vent the transmission of the disease"
The rules of the State Board of
Health become mandatory upon any
community when the local health
officer adopts and promulgates them
as the rules to be followed in his
jurisdiction.
"If the rules are merely advisory is
it the opinion of your association that
they advise an unnecessarily long
minimum of quarantine?"
1t is impossible in scarlet-fever to
set fixed uniform period after which
