Rabies COntrOUerSy.

Dr. H d GIL. the veterinarian of the bac-
THEOLOGICAL division of the Board of Health.
through his lawyer Victor j. Bowling, yesterday
brought suit for malicious libel against Presi-
dent John P. Haines of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The remarks
attributed to Mr.. Haines that Dr. Gill was "a
commercial alarmist,' and that his only connec-
tion with the Board of Health was to stable Its
horses" are given as the reason for the suit.
DR.. Gill says that he is suing in the interest
also of the medical profession, Mr. Haines
said that he did not know what he was talking
about when he declared that rabies was preVa-
lent in the city and when he advised, as a pre-
vention of the spreading of this disease, the
muzzing of all dogs at large within the city
limits
DR.. Gill said last night that. in proof OF the
in competency of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. he knew OF many cases
of ra bes in dogs which had never been under
the care of the society. while Mr.. Haines, he
said declares that of 21s.612 cases handled by
the society not one was rabies.
