MILK CRUSADE
TO Be STARTED
HERE TOMORROW
State and Local Health Officials
to Cooperate to Check Tu-
bercuIar Product.

Tuberculous milk is coming into
Newark in such quantities that
health officials have ordered immedi-
ate stringent action 10 prevent fur
ther endangering of the public, Dr.
Charles V. Craster stated today.
Alarmed by reports filed by Samuel
G. Sharwell, chief inspector of the
food and drug department, he has
ordered that all dairies whose herds
contain cows with tubercular or other
infection shall be forbidden to sell
raw milk in the city.
Conditions are such that the Board
of Health is totally at sea and help
less. Records it relied ON to tell what
diseased cattle existed, and where
they could be found, have been shown
10 be useless. The State Tuberculosis
Commission will be immediately asked
to test every COW sending raw milk
into Newark, although, until tho pres
ent probe was set afoot, it was
thought that veterinarians certiti-
Gates supplied all necessary informa-
tion about the cattle.
The State Department of Health IS
already piNing aid iu the crusade and
Chief Chemist William c.. Tice. of the
State health department, will be in
Newark tomorrow to assume personal
charge OF the States work In the sit
uation. DR.. Isaac II. Shaw State vet
erinarian, who has made startling
disclosures of the presence of diseased
COWS in herds supplying Newark with
raw milk, will continue his co-opera-
tion with Chief Inspector Samuel G.
SharWell.
Veterinarians and Dairymen Blamed.
As the health authorities see the
situation at present, in the light of
their discoveries to date, the blame
for the impure milk menace which is
endangering the health of every con-
sumer of raw milk from these sources
in the city rests principally OH care
less and negligent methods of some
veterinarians, but also to a consider
able extent upon the dairymen and
cattle dealers themselves.
In some instances the authorities
say they have encountered COW own
ers so ignorant that they refused to
believe or professed to refuse to be-
lieve, that tubercular milk is danger
Gus to the human system. And the
health investigators have frequently
run across irrefutable proof, they as
sert, that veterinarians have been
careless to a degree that absolutely
nulliffed the benefit resulting from an
examination of the herd. Tags which
should tell whether cattle are diseased
or healthy have been indiscriminately
tags belonging to healthy
COWS being placed on diseased animals
and vice versa.
Chief Inspector Sharwell, DR. Shaw
and DR.. Werner Runge, city veterin-
arian, have examined 404 COWS at nine
suburban dairies and have discovered
nineteen cases of strepticocci and five
Of pus. Twenty-Five cows revealed
tubercular symptoms under physical
examination. How many more will do
so when the tuberculin test is applied
is a matter of conjecture.

PRATT BUSY ON
ANOTHER NOTE
"If TumuIty Can Stand the
Caff, So Can L." Says
Nutley Man.

Llcwellyn r. Pratt, of Nutley, to-
day SAID he received II letter froni
Joseph =. Tumulty, secretary to the

to what he SAID was an attempt by
Mr. Tumulty to inject "A religious

given out at Washington yesterday
and was intended as rebuke TO the
NutleY man.
"If Tumulty can stand the gaff /
can do the same," said Mr. Pratt at
his New York office today, when
asked if he intended to answer the
letter.
Mr. Pratt is preparing an answer to
be sent to Mr.. Tumudy. He said he
desired to consult n friend before max
ing the contents public. When asked
later for a copy of the letter Mr.
Pratt said he doubted whether he
would make q reply.
He also said he thought the mat
ter had been made public enough
and he didn't believe his reply would
be as effective, in that IL would not
receive the same publicity as the Tu-
multy letter did.
