TUBERCULAR COWS
CONDEMNED TODAY
Meat Inspector Finds BoVines
Had Disease in Advanced stage

The dvantage in having n,oa+
inspector in this city was demonstrate
ed this morning when DR.. Charles r.
W1tte in charge of the SLAUGHTER
Aouse at the Town Farm, condemned
TWO COWS found to have tuberculosis
one Of the animals had tubercuIar
germs in an advanced stage The
bovines were brought to the slaughter
house by local cattle dealers and were
purchased from farmers in the yicin-
ity of New Britain.
DR.. William Stockwen, of the board
of health, was notified by Dr.. White
that two animals had been con-
demned as diseased. A further in
vestigation was conducted by DR..
Stockwell and it was found that one
of the condemned COWS had tuber-
culosis in an advanced stage.
The Importance Of having the
slaughtered animals examined in New
Britain ought to be impressed on the
minds of the people," said DR.. Stock
well. Every bit of meat that is sold
in this city must bear the stamp of
approval of a government official or
the city inspector. In this way the
health of the people is safe guarded.
A law ought to be passed compelling
every farmer in the state to have his
cows examined at least twice a year
for tuberculosis One of the animals
condemned this morning belonged to
a farmer who supplies a number OF
families in this city with milk. There
is no question in my mind that the
milk from the diseased COW contained
hundreds of tubercular germs The
germs are contagious as we'll as in
fictitious"
In order that the dealers will be un-
able to dispose of the condemned
meat in nearby towns the carcassc'
of the animals were sprayed with car
bolic acid by DIR. Witte, and will bt
sent to New Haven to be rendered
into fats.

WOMEN PLAN TO
MAKEDEMANDS
ONCONFERENCE
Feminine Members of Public
Group Want Legislation
Equalizing Status of Men and
Women in Industry.

Washington, Oct. 11-while no for
NAL meetings of groups or committees
of the industrial conference were held
today, because of the absence from the
city of majority of the delegates, va
rious phases of the proposed industrial
settlement were discussed at informal
gatherings.
The three women members of the
public group began formulating de-
mands to be presented on behalf of
women. The delegates-Ida NJ. Tar
bull. of New York; Gertrude Barnum.
of Chicago, and Lillian Wald, of New
York-favor legislation equalizing the
legal status in industry of men and
women and are drafting their views for
presentation. to the conference through
the public group, Tuesday.
1t was said today the reason John
Spargo, Of New York, decided not to
introduce yesterday his resolution de-
manding that refusal of employers to
meet labor union representatives
whether employees of the company or
not, be made a penal offense, was his
unwillfngness to start any discussion
at this time which might destroy the
usefulness of the public group as a
mediatory factor between capital and
labor.
Baruch made it plain that the public
group intended to be a positive force in
the conference and would not confine
its activities to conciliation. He said
the group represented the unorganized
public and would not agree to any pro-
gram unless the public's interests We're
protected. Other members of the
group said a Statement of principles
embodying a definite program for set
Ting industrial conflicts and protect
be prepared.

Chairman Brorein Announces
Members Who Are to Succeed
Allen of Key West, and Cooper
of Jacksonville.
DATE DEFINITELY
SET is OCTOBER 20
Pensacola Interest Now Centers
on Financial Aspect of Prop
osition With Majority Strong
ly in Favor.

Practically a new State Commission
will hear Pensacola claimants when
they appear October 20 to present
Pensacola's claims.
Announcement was made yesterday
by John B. Jones, Pensacola member
of the centennial commission, of Oc-
tober 20 as the definite date for the
meeting of the commission in TAI
lahassee, following a wire received
yesterday from w. G. Brorein, who
also announced the appointment of
Mr. Burgueries, of Palm Beach, to
succeed Mr.. Allen, of Key West, and
Perry Adair of Jacksonville, to sue
ceed Mr.. Cooper, also of that city.
Mr.. Burgueries is well known to
business men of Pensacola and West
Florida He has large business hold
ings in West Florida. being interest
ed in the Southern States Lumber
Company and having properties in the
Everglades section of the state.
The sentiment for the centennial
seemed yesterday to have centered
upon the business aspect of the prop
osition. Men who have been opposed
to the movement, and others who have
been lukewarm, many of whom have
been away from the city, have found
that a great deal of valuable publicity
has already been created, because of
the fight that Pensacola is waging,
and that men of affairs consider the
centennial as a possible valuable fac
tor in the future development, not only
of Pensacola but of the entire south.
1t is believed that many of the solid,
substantial business men of the city
will go over to Tallahassee with the
delegation which will make the Pen
sacola Tallahassee tour.
A prominent official, who was en-
ployed during the world war at the
great Bethlehem steel plant, and who
had charge of some of the conStruc-
tion work of number of the torpedo
destroyers now in port, in speaking of
the projected centennial said:
'It will do more to build up your
town than any other one thing could
do. You people down here have the
finest port in the world, but what you
need is more docks and more railroads.
The centennial would give you both.
The centennial for Pensacola would
mean federal and state aid. These
would mean that the United States
government would come in here and
help you build the docks and termi-
mails that you need. 1t is the biggest
kind of a chance, and when I hear. a
Pensacola business man say anything
against the centennial proposition, I
am amazed that anyone should be so
short sighted. Pensacola should show
"a united front for the fight for the
big show, for I believe if you get it
the future of your city is assured

HANCOCK SAYS
KEH0E HAS NO
BRIEF FOR HIM
Denies Washington
Dispatch That Ex-Congress-
man Is Working to Have Him
ReappOinted at Pensacola.

Referring to a Washington dispatch
in the Jacksonville Times Union of
Friday, in which it was said that ex-
CONGRESSMAN Walter Kehoe was in
Washington working to have Ben
Hancock confirmed as postmaster at
Pensacola, Mr.. Hancock said last
night: Il don't want the postmaster
ship and wouldn't have it. If Mr..
Kehoe or any other friends of mine
are in washington working for me to
be retained as postmaster it certainly
is neither by nor with my consent"
Il am not candidate for post
master. never have been candidate
since my name was withdrawn by
CONGRESSMAN Smithwick. All my
friends know what my plans are and
they are planning to back me to the
limit"
The Washington dispatch in ques-
tion read as follows:
Washington, Oct. -(SpeciaD-Ex-
Congressman Walter Kehoe. of Pensa-
cola, is in Washington and it is be-
lieved here that his presence indicates
one of the hottest postoffice fights
ever seen in Florida. BENJAMIN H.
Hancock is now postmaster at Pensa-
held to name his successor. Mr.. Kehoe
and other friends of Mr.. Hancock are
endeavoring to secure his reappoint-
ment while Congressman Smithwiclk
viii oppose him in the matter under
the presidents executive order of 1917,
which took the naming of postmasters
out of the hands of congressman ard
placed them under civil service rules.
The congressman now have it so ar
ranged that in many cases they are
able to have the senators from their
states agree to block confirmation un-
til the name of some one satisfactory
to- the former is named. In this way
while the congressman cannot directly
name his man he may object through
the confirmation method to further ac-
tion until some one who is satisfac-
tory comes up. It is not known what
position either one of the Florida sem
ators will take on this matter, but
among the friends of Mr.. Hancock
and other aspirants the race is likely
10 be a hot one.
