presidency Of the Standard Oil Company OF
Ohio. one of the subsidiary companies OF
the trust gave rise today to the impress
sion that ne has retired from his position

AN EPIDEMIC OF RABIES.
Stringent Measures Adopted in Buff
falo. y. V.

BUFFALO. n. Y. Feb. THE epidemic
of rabies. which the Health Department
has been fighting since early last summer,
has reached a stage where it has been
deemed advisable to ask the State authori-
ties to order all dogs tied up This is to
be done in the event of new ordinance
proving Intellectual. The ordinance pro-
vides a maximum penalty of $24O for failure
to muzzle dogs, makes it misdemeanor
for persons knowing of cases of rabies and
not reporting them, declares unmuzzled
dogs public nuisance and authorizes all
citizens TO take them to the pound.
To such an extent has the danger from
mad dogs increased that Postmaster Door
is taking advantage of the section of the
postal laws and regulations which denies
the owners of vicious dogs the right of
carrier service: The carriers will protect
themselves by cutting many owners of dogs
OIL their calling list. Health Commissioner
Wade has been opposed in his fight for the
hew ordinance by prominent citizens
among them United States Commissioner
Charles X. Robinson.

DR.. FOSTER WAS
INCORPORATOR
Reputed Head Of the Alleged Bogus
Diploma Mill Said to be in
Operation Here

From what can be learned, DR..
Charles Foster, formerly of No. 30S
West street. is the reputed originator
of what is alleged to be the bogus di-
ploma mill
DR. Foster came to this city some
time during the early Winter and
took up his abode in West street at
the above number. He spoke German
freely. evidently being an educated
man, and soon made the acquaintance
of a number of Germans. among those
he met and whose place he frequented
was Christian Ploesser, proprietor OF
Ploesser's Hotel. at Thirteenth and
Heald streets.
To Mr.. Ploesser he explained that he
intended to establish a college for Ger
man students upon a site along the
Brandywine creek He did not intend
to locate until next Fall. but desired
to obtain a charter under the laws oil
Delaware for the University OF Della
ware. in Wilmington. He desired some
one who was known in this city to
vOuch for him. Finally after many
visits to Mr.. PlOesser's place Of busi-
ness. he persuaded him and Miles j
Ford. who resides on Eleventh street
near Heald, to sign Incorporation pa
pers. Accordingly, DR.. Foster, Mr.
Ploesser and Mr.. Ford on January las
proceeded to the Office of Samue
Isenschmidt, notary public. at No. 9Os
Market street, and the necessary docu.
ments were signed and a charter OBJ
tained from Secretary of State Jane:
II. Hughes, in Dover This ended Mr.
Ploesser's and Mr.. Ford's connec
ton with the AFFAIR, and neither
has seen the alleged doctor but once oI
twice since then. He assured both tn
men that the company was a perfect!
legitimate one, and neither was awar
of the alleged illegal transaction unit
they saw an account of it in a loca
paper
DR.. Foster has been absent from tn
city for several months, and nothinl
is known Of his whereabouts. Inquir.
at his late boarding house failed q
throw any light on the subject.
