     144.14 Quarantine of interstate carriers. 

    When necessary the commissioner may establish and enforce a 
 system of quarantine against the introduction into the state of 
 any plague or other communicable disease by common carriers 
 doing business across its borders.  Its members, officers, and 
 agents may board any conveyance used by such carriers to inspect 
 the same and, if such conveyance be found infected, may detain 
 the same and isolate and quarantine any or all persons found 
 thereon, with their luggage, until all danger of communication 
 of disease therefrom is removed.
