officials and repre-
1h@i sentatives of Chi
cago shippers and New York abattoir
men have been endeavoring to secure
permission to send cattle through the
State to relieve the situation at New
YORK. They have offered to
transport the cattle in water
tight sealed and locked cars
and to use all possible means to
prevent contagion, but as the State
has been quarantined against Chicago
Tor several weeks and Pennsylvania
cannot receive any cattle from that
city, the State officials contend that 1t
would be unfair as well as dangerous
TO allow cattle to pass through.
State Veterinarian c. ]. Marshall
has been given full authority in the
matter, Governor Brumbaugh declin-
ing yesterday to set aside the order
when asked by Joy r. Brown, of Chi
cago, representing shippers. and w. H.
Noyes, of New York, representing the
people handling cattle at New York
They made strong pleas, but the Gov
ernor and attorney general held that
the State was exercising power which
1t undoubtedly had and that DR.. Mar
shall would be the best judge. Inves-
legations will be made
Representatives of cattle shippers
in Chicago and New York firms which
receive cattle have arranged to make
Eanother appeal to the Governor to-
morrow for modification OF the order
prohibiting the shipment of cattle
from Chicago through the State. State

morrow to meet with them.
The stand of the State Board in re-
fusing to allow cattle to pass through
Pennsylvania is being upheld by let
ters and kilograms received by the

n Tn fl,a he H..
