British Refusal - JOIN IN Baedad hallway

BERLIN. April 34.-The refusal OF Great
Britain to participate In the building of the
Bagdad railway because Of certain con-
ditions imposed by Germany, as announced
In the British House Of Commons by Prime
Minister Balfour yesterday, has created
considerable comment here.
The Tdosbloa says that despite the re-
fusal Of English hnancen to take part
In the construction Of the first 100 kilo-
metres Of the road from Konia to Eregl.
German fnanciers, assisted by Austrian.
French and Swiss bankers, will push the
construction Of the line forward.
The Journal declares that the English
Government was willing to join In the
scheme, but changed it's mind when
1t found that public opinion in this coun-
try was opposed to Great Britain being
mixed up in the affair.
The Vossische Zeifuno, discussing tho
same subject, assumes Indifference to
England's refusal to partici ate in the
building Of the road. The paper Gays
the English people have only injured them
selves; they have not hurt the railway.
The Vossisch Zei'unp expresses surprise
at rhine Minister Balfour's complete
change Of mind on THE subject between
the sth and Esd Of this month. Il says
1t can only be attributed to the hostility
to Germany which prevails In England at
the present time. l.

The police OF Hamburg, Frankfort.

The chief hostility to the Mormons arises
from the lack Of tolerance on the part Of

intolerant. Mr. White says. and they dislike
the idea OF the Mormo Ms drawing away

ALBANY. April Alt is said that Gov.
Odell will not sign the bill which has passed
both houses and which il wanted by the
brewing interests to assure rebates upon
the surrender of liquor tax certificates.
The bill was introduced by Assemblyman
Phillips and amends a section Of the Liquor
Tax law. which section Is amended also
in the general amendments to the Liquor
Tax law introduced by Senator Green.
which passed the Legislature yesterday.
The State Excise Department is behind
the Green bill. and II Is to become a law.
Consequently, the Phillips bill, cannot be
signed. as II would modify the effect Of the
Green amendments TO the same section
The Phillips bill amends the Liquor Tax
law 30 as to provide that persons arrested
or indicted for a violation should be en-
titled to a rebate. providing the offence
was not committed prior to the receipt
Of the certificate by the agent Of the Excise
Department. There have been a number
Of cases where persons have wilfully vio-
lated the law after being notified by the
brewers that their certificates were TO be
withdrawn for some reason. As q result
no rebate could te collected and the brewing
companies. which In many cases owned
the certificates. had no redress.

.MoSTcLAIR. y. j., April 24.-Five hun
dred school children from the Montclair
High School. the grammar school. and the
Chestnut street school attended a lecture
given this afternoon by DR.. James
McDonough. a veterinary surgeon OF this
place, who attends to the horses and other
animals Of a number OF well-known resi-
dents. The most striking feature OF the
lecture was that DIR. McDonough furnished
the school children an object lesson In
rabies in the shape Of an Irish setter that
was suffering with the disease.
The lecture was held in Dr. McDonough's
barn. When the children had assembled
Dr.. McDonough pointed to a strong wooden
cage in which the rabid animal was con-
fined and told them the history Of the
animal's case. The dog, he said. was a
valuable animal Of his own and was bitten
about ten days ago by another dog that was
afflicted with rabies. On TuesdSy DR..
McDonoughs dog began to show signs Of
madness.
zone fact on which I wish 10 Law em-
pSssis, said DR.. McDonough, SIS that the
general belief that mad dog froths at the
mouth Is all wrong. This animal hasn't
frothed at the mouth, and he is one of the
most violent mad dogs that ! have ever
seen.
There Is also general belief that mad
dog races around and pursues people in
order 10 bite them. That also Is fallacy.
4 mad dog runs along and snaps at any
body or any animal that happens to be In
the dogs path, but the mad dog never goes
out OF his way to bite people. These are
important things to remember.
The FIRST sgn OF madness in a dog
IL that he becomes restless. He keeps
moving around all the time, Then he begins
TO cough. After that he remains rather
quiet for several hours. Finally he becomes
very violent
During the lecture the setter became
very violent and chewed madly at the strong
Stats which formed the sides OF his cage.
Several of the smaller children became
frightened at the animals actions, but Dr.
McDonough quieted the chidren's fears by
assuring them that the animal could not
Possibly get out. DIR. McDonough had
planned to repeat his lecture. with the mad
animal as an object lesson, but soon after
the lecture was over the dog was so vio-
lent that 1t was thought best TO shoot it.
ut was long time after all was in readiness
70 shoot it before the dog was still enough
70 allow an accurate aim to be taken.
