The 23 head of cattle which arrived on the Arizonian on Feb- 
ruary 27 consisted of 15 head of Hereford bulls for the Raymond 
Ranch, 1 Kerry bull for Mr. Isenberg, and 5 milch cows. 
Of the 29 mules which arrived on the Lurline on March 9, ten 
were for the Schuman Carriage Company and were placed in 
quarantine on the Beach Road, while 19 were for Alexander & 
Baldwin, Maui. A wireless message notifying Dr. Fitzgerald of 
the arrival of these mules was forwarded immediately in order 
to allow him to prepare for the quarantine. 
Glanders. 
Since my last report the following districts have been inspected 
by Mr. Venhuizen, as follows: 
Kalihi District, five times; Nuuanu Valley and Puunui District, 
twice ; Waikiki District, four times ; Kewalo District, five times , 
Manoa Valley, twice; Pauoa Valley, twice; Moiliili District, three 
tim^s ; Palolo Valley, once; Moanalua and vicinity, once; Makiki 
District and Punchbowl Slope, three times; Waialae and Niu, 
once. 
Ten suspicious cases were found, four of which were taken to 
the Quarantine Station and submitted to the mallei n testing. One 
of these animals was found to sufifer from typical glanders and 
was destroyed. The stable where this horse had been kept was 
submitted to a thorough disinfecting and white washing. It is 
noteworthy that this animal as well as the one reported on at the 
last meeting have been patients in the stable of Dr. Pottie, but 
as he has left the Territory for good no action can be taken in 
the matter. 
All livery, dray and contract stables have been inspected once a 
week. All streets in the business section of the city have been 
patrolled as often as possible. 
One tour of inspection has been made through Aiea, Pearl City 
and Waipahu. 
Three days were spent in disinfecting stables. 
Cruelty to Animals. 
I have several times of late been consulted by the humane officer 
as well as by the hack inspector in regard to cases of cruelty to 
animals, notably among which was a case of a broken leg in a 
horse which the owner refused to have killed. After consulting 
the Attorney General as well as several prominent lawyers on 
the subject, I came to the conclusion that the laws of the Territory 
on this subject are insufficient to allow of any action to be taken 
in the matter as long as the owner does not neglect the animal 
in question.
