Responsibility.

''The state places the responsibility of protecting the public against com municable disease primarily upon
 physicians and heads of house eholds. This responsibility is discharged when n real suspected case of contagious
 disease is reported to the board of
 health.
 "Every now and then our attention is brought to a case of scarlet fever
 or diphtheria which the attending
 physician or head of the household
 has held under suspicion for day
 or two before reporting it. pre-
 sumably in order to render a positive
 diagnosis In not a few of these in
 stances there has been no attempt to
 strictly isolate the patient, nor to re-
 strict the activities Of the family in
 order to prevent the spread of the in
 lection. The danger to the com
 munity is obvious.
 "Tardy reporting of communicable
 diseases is just as much of statu-
 tory offense as failure to report at all.
 "In & cosmopolitan city the size of
 New Britain it is imperative that the
 board of health enforces the. law.
 even though 1t be an unpleasant duty.
 The arrest and conviction of a
 butcher yesterday in the local police court for selling "bob-vear is merely a forerunner of what is to be ex- pected by violators of the law gov erning the sale of meat. The ai- most open defiance and boastfulness of certain slaughterers of what they are pulling off on the city" has come
 to our attention, and if hard work and prosecution will stop it, then it is going to stop.
 "A most fragrant case was recently brought to our attention which, if our surmise is correct, is rank inn position upon the public. A certain butcher slaughtered in a neighboring town a COW dying of tuberculosis. It was reported that he took the carcass away, stating 1t was for bologna. The man was interviewed but denied all knowledge of the case. Finally. after much griIling, he admitted he slaugh- tered the COW but that he cut up the carcass and fed the meat to three | dogs on the place where the COW was | slaughtered. Such a lie is preposter- ous. Yet, after two hours grilling by | the police he still adheres to the | riducuious story Unfortunately. we | are not able to handle the case locally | as the act occurred in another town | and we are not able to prove that the | meat was brought to New Britain. 'SThe sale of diseased meat in this | city is at a minimum, for it is easily | disposed of in towns in which there is no meat inspection. This is admitted | by the butchers who slaughter. But | 1t is only by constant surveillance | and much soft shoe work by our in | spectors that it is kept out of New | Britain

BUDGET SUM REFUSED

Three Methodist annual conven-
tions now meeting in this city will

ences will today consider resolu-
tions embodying the attitude of the
bodies on religious and secular
questions.
The most important work done
yesterday was in committees, but
two of the conferences considered
the Interchurch World Movement.
In the Baltimore conference of the
NJ. f. Church a resolution appropri-
ating 100000 from the budget of
the conference for the support of
the movement was laid on the table.
The position taken by the confer
ence was that afiliation in the
movement should be optional with
the individual churches.
n report of the Forward Move
ment Commission of the Maryland
conference of the NJ. =. Church rec
ommendinC that the conference ap-
propriate $165, 900 to the Interchurch
World Movement was submitted by
the Rev. DR.. l. +. Warner, retiring
president of the conference. A min
ority report recommending the mat
ter be referred to the member
churches for such action as they
might choose to take was offered by
the Rev. q. /. Humphreys, of Wash
ington, secretary of the conference
The matter aroused spirited debate.
and the vote was postponed until
the conference will refuse to make
the appropriation.
Each of the conferences appointed
delegates yesterday to convey fra
ternal greetings to the other bodies.
In responding to the GREETINGS of
messengers from the NJ. L. Church
yesterday, Bishop Eugene r. Hend-
rix. of the NJ. f. Church South. pre-
dicted a speedy unification of the
two branches of the church.
The Southern Methodists yester-
day unanimously passed a resolu-
tion. which came up from the Wash
ingtoh ministers meeting, increasing
the allowances paid retired minist-
ers and widows of ministers by so
per cent. Last year the conference
expended $22,665 for this purpose,
the allowances ranging from 500 to
$500.
Change Admits Women.
The Maryland conference of the
NJ. E. Church yesterday amended its
rules so as to make women eligible
for membership. Mrs. Scott Duvall,
of Chesaco Park, Md, who was de-
MED a seat Wednesday, was admit
ted yesterday.
Henry S. Dulaney, of Baltimore,
was yesterday elected president of
the Laymen's Association of the NJ.
