PASTEURIzE MILK
BUT DO NOT KILL
DISEASED COWS
Dairyman Objects to Staying
of TubercuIar Cattle, Says
1t Drives Out Business

In an argument against compulsory
testing OF dairy cattle for tuberculosis,
substituting instead pastuerization
systems. c. H. Bellina appeared before
the senate committee on public lands
and improvements this morning.
Bellina, who is a dairyman. declared
that If the present system Of wedding
out dairy cattle where tests show they
have traces Of tuberculosis is kept up
the dairymen will soon be compelled
TO go out Of business.
Pasteurization is the proper sys-
TEN, he said, where the milk is
brought TO a temperature of AS de-
grees and kept there for o. or 80 min
utes. He cited figures to show that
death rates of children in New York
had been decreased to great extent
by pasteurizing milk.
Bellina also expressed the opinion
that tuberculosis is not transferable
from the cow to the human being.
The discussion arose at a meeting
Of the lands committee, over Senate
Bill Sc, which provides that the board
of agriculture shall not be held liable
to reimburse owners of cattle where
such animals are ordered killed. The
committee finally decided to recon-
mend that the bill be re-referred to the
health committee Senator Single
suggested that a public hearing on the
question would be worth while. DR..
Victor Norgaard was present at this
mornings meeting and argued for
testing of milk. ..

New Week Brings Another Rush Of New Legislation
FAVOR HOLDING
PRISON SITE

II would be poor business to sell
the old Oahu prison site at present
in order to complete the new struc-
ture, according to the decision Of the
ways and means committee submitted
in 4 report this afternoon to the SEN
ate. r.. -.
The report recommends that the ter
ritory keep control of the old prison
site until such time as the change over
to the new building has been accom-
plished.
Value of rea! estate IN the vicinity
OF the prison is increasing so rapidly
that the committee feels il would be a
mistake to sell the site at present The
probable gain by waiting is likely to
make up for more than the interest
on money TO complete the new build
ing. 49,.
IL was also recommended that the
bill introduced by Senator Single
recently, turning over $4,000 of bal
ance in the loan fund to the compile,
ton of the prison building, be passed.
Ii is rumored that several firms, in.
Guiding two lumber yards, are consid.
ering the purchase of the old land.

her, had been duly warned as to the

and made the startling discovery that
no such message had gone in to the
authorities there
In five minutes he was in his own
car, fastening to a conference with

minutes, on learning from Wilson
over the wire that Da Espares and
Margery had already left the house in

up the dusty approach to the bridge

The unbidden Guest.


The gallant Count Luigi Da Espares.
In view of his much-talked-of victory
ON the Turnpike bridge, found himself
forced into the not uncongenial role
OF a hero. II that discreet nobleman
took advantage Of the high esteem in
which he momentarily stood TO push
through to completion certain arrange
ments for the costume ball on which
he seemed to have set his heart
Knowing what he knew, the secre-
tary still regarded that impending
function as a danger in disguise, just
az he still nursed very substantial
doubts as to the actual death OF Legar.
So fixed was Manley in his suspi-
cions, however, that he insisted on
conference with Enoch Golden him

Manley, in fact, had given up any
hope OF further argument on the ques

brought about a slight change in
Enoch Golden's attitude. This Incl.

missive bearing the signature of that
elusive lnterloper in the affairs OF the
house OF Golden known as the Laugh.

Count Luigi Da Espares Is not only
an impostor, but also your enemy. And
as a friend ! herewith warn you that
he is not TO be trusted.
Even this epistle, which bore only
the emblem of a Laughing Mask for
signature, might have been accepted
as of no great Importance, had not
Enoch Golden been the recipient OF
still another communication. This
time it was a telephone message from
a stranger, acknowledging himSelf to
be an active colleague OF the Iron
Claws.
"Legar may be gone," said this un-
known voice over the wire, but his
work is going to go on. and don't you
forget it! You still hold that chart.
If the chief didn't get his chart, before
he cashed in, I'm the guy who's going
to get it,"
