almost every ward. So far as is known
no person was bitten.
Dog Catcher Kopp was busy this
morning gathering up the animals Bit

and although policemen on every dis

avoided them.

dog came from, but it was first seen
at Fifth and Poplar streets about s
o'clock. There il bit a dog belonging
to William Taylor. Three dogs were
bitten in the vicinity of Lowering and
Gilpin avenue. BY this time the dog
catcher was notified and started on a
search for the bitten dogs.

which happened TO be in its path. the
brute reached Fourth and Scott streets.

PRESIDENT HAS THE
RIVER and HARBOR BILL

Washington. June THE River
,and Harbor Appropriation act was laid
before the President yesterday for ap-
Ipr0val The provisions of this act
have been gone over carefully by the
Secretary of War and Chief of Engi-
neers. the officials upon whose judg-
ment the President will rely in deter
mining his action. With very few
and insignificant exceptions all the
items of the act were passed upon by
the Engineer Department and favor
lably recommended. and upon tbs rec
lommendation the Secretary of War in
lcluded them in the regular estimates
sent to Congress. There is, therefore,
no good reason for supposing that the
President will withhold approval from
the act. The aggregate amount of
money made available the coming ifs
cal year is unusually large, but The
fact should not be overlooked that
there was no appropriation made for
rivers and harbOrs at the last session
OF Congress. and the act now before
the President consequently carries ap-
preparations for continuing wcrk in
course Of construction that should have
been made last year in consequence
Of the failpre OF the bill last year. ar-
preparations for many important pub
| lie works lave become Practically ex-
haustod and upon Others work ,ad tl
be suspended because of lack of funds.
! The act Of this year makes provision
for these deficiencies. and to that ex.
tent explains the large aggregate ear

ARGUMENT In
CONSPIRACY CClYT CASE C(tAi S$;RiI
Alexander B. Cooper Wants
Indictment QuaShcd
ASKS FOR MORE PARTICULARS
AttOrnOy-CCneral Ward Contends That
it Is Not Necessary 10 Set Them
Ont in Indictment
ASKS FOR MORE PARTICULARS

In General Sessions Court this morn
ing Alexander b. Cooper, for Anthony
Higgins, John II. Rodney, William S.
liilles and William II. Head, counsel
ior Sheriff Mcdaniel, Mayor Evan G..
Boyd, Of New Castle; Harvey B. Wig
ellsworth and Walter Rash, charged
with conspiracy. with intent to de-
fraud the county of $1,000 argued to
ouash the indictment.
Mr.. Cooper said that There were two
indictments in the case, and he would
like to know which the State was go
ing to stand upon.
Mr.. Ward replied that he would elect
when the case came to trial.
The argument contained three counts
first. that the Indictment does not
set forth sufficient particulars in re-
gard to material facts; second, that
reference us made to written paper
which should be set out; third. that
al lof tho parties had a guilty knowl-
edge that the bill was padded.
Cooper Objects to padded
Mr.. Cooper objected in his bill to the
word padded" set out I'm the indict-
ment that a false and padded bill had
"'lhe word padded Is defined in all
the dictionaries as to stun with cloth
We know what the Attorney General
means by the word padded. but that is
not the thing" said Mr.. Cooper. Even
the number of false commitments are
not set out. neither are the dates, nor
the names. How can we go out and
get witnesses for the defense of these
4 hot
we are called upon to defend them?"
continued Mr. Cooper. why are we
not informed of these necessary things.
so we can go into trial intelligently and
with Justice TO the accused?n
Mr. Cooper contended that when a
written instrument appeared in an in
dlctmont. Il was necessary 60 set out
the name of the instrument and the
figures contained therein. This the in
ldictment I'm the present case does not
do.
There is no allegation in this in
ldictment that any of these men knew
that this certain bin was padded. with
The exception of Sheriff Mcdaniel, who,
10 alleges. presented the bill TO Comp
ltroller Kelley and the Levy Court, y
said Mr.. Cooper, land in order that
liltnt OAAtA men iAltil NN tNNh'NANA WIN
the crime. If such exists. there must
be a relation set out showing that they
knew it was a padded bill"
This closed Mr.. Cooper's argument
ITO quash.
Ward Says He Was Fair
Mr. Ward. in opening for the sus-
tainment of the Indictment, said that
in conspiracy cases he did not think
that anything should be set out in any
other manner. than as it is in the
present Indictment. He claimed that
he had used all fairness toward the
defendants in his indictment, as he
might have stopped when he said that
they had conspired to submit false
| bill and obtain money under this false
lpretense. and he felt assured that the
court would not have suspended the in
ldictmont. but he had gone further in a
spirit of fairness and set out further
