BOARD OF HEALTH
TALKED ABOUT ODORS
MEMBERS IN A QUANDARY AS
TO JUST WHAT TO DO.
Matter Called to Their Attention by
the Report of Health Officer Allen.
Pood Inspector Dhected to Arrest
Those Who Violate tho Regulation
with Reference to Exposing Meats
Uncovered in the Open Air Which
Aie Intended for Sale Roports of
the Ofllceis.
At the meeting of the board of health
last night considerable time was de
voted to a consideration ot the best
manner of abating the offensive odors
that arlso from stables In tho thickly
settled parts of the city. The mem
bers of the board wero nt a loss to know
Just how to net In the matter. Dr.
Bontley's remark that tho work of root
ing out all tho bad odors In the city Is
a very large contract, was approved by
every member ptesent.
Some of them should be, and will be,
abated, but the members are at u loss
to know Just where they should draw
the line. The matter came to tho at
tention of tho board In tho report of
Health Oiilcer Dr. Allen, which was as
follows:
Ninety-two complaints were made dur
ing tho month of February, twenty-one of
which were abated. Tho others having
been caused by tho unusual amount of
water all over tho surface and tho block
ing of gutters and drains uio not o easily
ltmcdlcd. 'Ihcro nro many complaints of
lllthy conditions, bnd oilois from stables
v.hcro cows aro kept, in fact these com
plaints aro made at nil seasons but aio
more frequent when tho Hist warm days
come and I do not know how under our
present system we nre going to manage
to help tho pcoplo who aio suffering.
The cow la a most alunble animal on
a farm but In restricted uuaitcrs her
presence is nn thing but desirable. No
matter how carefully she may be looked
after, the smell from the manuie heap
and from tho cow Is neither pleasing
nor nppetMng. In the central pait of tho
cltv tho nllejs hae more houses thin
tnhles and of course many of these.
houses are In very closo proxlmilv to tho
stables and must gut all the odor there is.
ONH SUGGHSTION.
Perhaps It would be desirable to estab
lish cow limits, forbidding the keeping of
cows In the thickly populated sections of
the city. This would cause no hardship to
poor pcoplo as It appears to be only tho
weilthv who have them and In view of
the fact that highly bred nnlmnls seem
mine frequently nffeeted with tubercu
losis, it might be well for all pirtles.
Tho board authorized the sanitary
ofllcer to compel the owners of stables
complained of to keep them in a sani
tary condition.
Dr. Allen said theie had been a good
many harsh things said about the board
because the persons responsible for the
unsanitary condition of No. 2S school
some time ago have not been prose
cuted. The matter was referred to tho
city solicitor, he said, and the board Is
waiting for him to act.
Sanitary Officer Burke repoited that
complaint had been made of the un
sanitary nnd unsightly condition of th.?
ruins of the Scranton Street Baptist
church and he had been requested by
property owners of the vicinity to do
something to have tho condition of the
premises improved.
Food Inspector Cullen, In his teport,
spoke of the many complaints made to
him by meat dealers against the regu
lation of the board prohibiting the ex
posure uncovered In the open air of
meats Intended for sale. Tho board In
stituted Mr. Cullen to enforce tho regu
lation and arrest at once the dealers
who violate It. They specifically di
rected him to proceed at once against
such pet sons without waiting to lay
the mitter befoie the board.
At 'ast night's meeting President W.
A. Palre M. J. Kelly, George S. Horn,
W G. O'Malley and Dr. 1. K. lienlley
wete present. The inonllib teport of
Secretary R. J. Murray showed that
theie were 147 deaths from all causes.
Tvehe of these deaths were from con
tagious diseases. During the month 41
i ontaglous diseases wete n ported,
thlit.v-tluee ol these cases were diph
theria There were twenty-one mar
riages In the city during rebrunry nnd
sixty-four births.

The secretniy further reported that
his annual report will be completed In
a few das and the boaid decided to
hold ti special meeting net Wednesday

TUCKER & IVJAXEY CASE.
Hearing in Bankruptcy Proceed
ings Was Begun Yester
day Before Referee
Van Wormer.
The hearing in the Tucker & Maxey
banktuptcy case was begun yesterday
before Referee (.'. A Van Wotmer, at
his ofllco In the Federal building. 11.
D. Stuart, us trustee for the estate,
represented the creditors nt large.
Hon. John F. Reynolds, IL O. Watrous
and Charles Morton, representing vari
ous of the claimants, assisted Mr. Stu
att. Hon. 12. N. Wlllard appeared for
the bankrupts.
The purpose ot the heating Is to ns
cettaln, If possible. If there Is any
property othoj thnn that already In the
trustee's hnnd that can be secured for
the creditors.
Tucker & Maey failed In November
owing $33,000. Their assets consisted of
book accounts to the extent of $1,809
and a stock which brought $900 at
sheriff's sale. To find out what has
become of tho property represented by
the difference between $33,000 and $2,701
is the purpose of the examination.
Tucker, the senior partner, was on
the stand all dav. Ho denied that they
bought goods of any character that
could be secuicd on credit and sold
them for whatever they could get for
them in cash, but admitted that they
had paid previous outstanding bills in
goods secured on credit.
Mr. Stuart brought out by his ques
tions that baled hay and diamonds
were among the commodities which
the firm bought on ctedlt, and while
Tucker waa looking up to the celling
for an explanation of what hid become
of the diamonds, Mr. Stuart sought to
help him out by suggesting that possi
bly they got lost in the hay.
The creditors will endeavor to show
in the criminal courts what has become
of the hay, diamonds, etc,
Two tullngs establishing precedents.
In btnkutptey proceedings, were made
In P.eferee ' an Wcrtner One is thnt
in the examination of a bankrupt, the
wltnes! need not answer any question
that would tend to criminate himself.
The other denies the credltots the light
to demand that one partner shall not
b pesent when the other Is being ex.
ainiited.
The heating was continued until 9
o'clock this morning. George H. Rice
is doing the stenogiaplile wotk in the
