In one instance the naked body of an all vietim was al- lowed to lie for several hours covered only with a thin sheet in an undertaking shop in Chinatown, and after the autopsy *hat was made in the same place the Heaith neglected to fumigate the place or attempt in Any other way to destroy or sterilize the germs that may have found odgment in the case. | A Common Symptom. The next affidavit was by George W. Cable, M. D., a regular allopathic physi- sian, to the effect that in tuberculosis, actinimycosis, scrofula and some other diseases s ng of the glands was a somm\fm ?!ndl that the bubo leponent denie at e bubonic pla, had ever existed in this city. and e serted that in ail cases the clinical h: tory was not known to the Board of nation of the culture the decedents should be suppiemented with a complete clinical history of the case.

Courts had held that the State might designate the limits within which gunpowder or other explosives might be | stored or within which wooden buildings | might be erected. In the matter of quar- | antine the speaker laid down as a propo- sition of law thatAf all persons within the quarantine iimits were ireated alike there was no discrimination. It was no answer | to that proposition to say that a Chinese laundry in the Mission had not been quar- antined, Al the Chinese and other per- sons within those [imits ~were treated | alike, and the charge of discrimination could not be substantiated. | Power to determine questions of moral- | ity, sanitation and public safety rested | with the legislative branch of the govern- | | ment, namely the Board of Supervisors, | | and it was not for the Federal courts to | interfere, said the counsel, unless it should | | be shown affirmatively that the laws or | | the constitution of the United States had | | been violated. | | _Mr. Campbell interrupted the speaker by | remarking tnat his &ide had invoked the | interference of the kederal courts because | the treaty rights of Jew Ho had been | violated and the Federal courts were the | only tribunals having jurisdiction to in- | terpose in that matter. Mr. Dunne then went back to the weak ! | spot in his case, the fact that within the ! | rectangular boundary lines of the quara: | tined area there were the establishments of a white plumber and an Italian wood | and coal dealer, which places of business | had ‘been exempted from the operation | of ‘the aquarantihe. On. this polnt . Mr. Dunne argued that the coal deafer and the | plumber were situated outside of the | uarantined territory, even though the upervisors and the Board of Health had gchopped this small piece off the edge of | | Chinatown. § j Not a Cass of Plague. Mr. Bennett followed Mr. Dunne an vits to establish the fact that bubonic plague had never exist- | ed in the cit: he first affidavit was that | of Wong C .

A Suspicious Circumstance. On the question of unjust discrimination Mr. Campbell mentioned the Chinese Con- N ate the white plumber and the white coal-dealer as among the persons residing or doing business on the east side of Stackton street who had been excluded from the quarantine. It was a remark- ably suspicious circumstance, he added, that in every case of exclusion. with the single exception of the Chinese Consul, | the persons excluded were other than | Chinese. Warming up to the subject, the | speaker said that if a Chinaman should | dle in Chinatown from the plague the | Board of Health would be guilty of man- | slaughter and should be punished, for the | board kept the Chinese exposed to infec- | tion, if the cause of infection should hap- pen to exist there. | On another proposition he charged the health officials with endeavoring to evade | the injunction heretofore issued by the | Asiaties to submit | court agalnst forein to an injection of l-fitflklne prophylactic, | and ch that Dr. Willlamson of the | D Health Board had appe: fore the | Six Companies and had threatened that unless the Chinese submitted the board ‘would Jmut the Chinese quarter under uarantine. A Ehoriridge closed for the petitioner, He spoke on _the illegal delegation of | swer by the Supervisors to the Board of ealth, and on the other issues involved | in the discussion. In the course of his re- marks he paid the foll & well deserved | tribute to the Federal courts: “I am glad that I stand In a Federal court; I am proud that I do, for I be- lieve that If it was not for that incor- ruptible branch the government we would not have to-day a republic to live for, to fight for and to die for. The Fed- eral court has never crushed a man, how- ever poor, hated or despised. It has never turned away an applicant for justice, hawever much he might be set upon and hounded by ignorance, prejudice or pas- sion. And this petitioner stinds before this tribunal of my country, which we all love. apd he says, ‘T am here under the sacred honor and protection of this re- public, and your Honors are not reaching out to grasp for powe “Wha# do you care for mower?’ con- tinued Mr. Shortridge. “Indifferent alike to censure or to pralse. indifferent to the plaudits of the multitude or its execration, ou are here to do justice under vour oaths, not to be frightened by the sugges- tion that there has been here an attempt to encroach upon the so-called powers of oard of | rominent symptom.

SON COMES TO CLAIM A SHARE OF PIPER'S MONEY Will Which the Collateral Heirs Declare to Be a Forgery. A son has appeared to claim part of the estate of the late Congressman Willlam A. Piper. The estate has been in probate for some little time under a will in which there is no mention of any son and which leaves the estate to collateral relatives. Henry 1. Kowalsky, however, claims to have discovered not only a son but also a will executed two months later than the one on flle, in which the existence of the son is acknowledzed and the whole of the tate is left to him. “[£'}¢ Glaimed the new relative Is the son of 2 widow in Napa, who is now nearly ki .
