LICENSE QUESTION WILL eE
SETTLED I'M CIRCUIT COURT,
Fisheriss DspsrtmsHl Wants Case Of
Alex Grant Carried Up for More
Substantial Decision.


The district attorneys office has
been requested by the fisheries depart
fiient to take steps to bring the case
against Alex Grant before the circuit
court. 1t Is hoped in this manner to
settle the question OF the rights Of
the states Of washington and Ore
gon in the matter of fishing licenses.
The case against Mr.. Grant developed
some amusing features. He has lived
In Astoria for more than 20 years and
in every sense Of the word is an
oregonian. However, he paid his
seining license to the washington au-
thorities. When he was acquitted In
the Justices court Of the charge Of
fishing without an Oregon license the
Seattle papers declared that great
victory had been won. and urged Cow

the rights Of this citizen Of Washing

but the Intervention OF United States
troops not only headed of hos1ilities,
but as well humiliated the Washing

neighboring state. District Attorney
Allen has not yet decided just how TO
present the case so as to secure the
most far-reaching decision. The stig-
gestion has been offered that friend
ly suit be instituted between the two
states to have the matter settled. but
the plan Of campaign will be announce
ed later. The question snould be set

HYDROPHOBIA
Texas Establishes Institute
for the Cure of Rabies
by the Pasteur Method
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 17.-Texas is
the first State in the Union to estab-
lish an institute for the treatment of
rabies by he Pasteur method. There
are five other institutions of this char
acter, but they are all private enter
prises. They are situated at New York,
st. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore and At
lanta. 1t is stated that a large per-
centage Of the patients for these pri-
vate hospitals come from Texas. and
this fact, together with the apparent in
crease year by year of the number Of
persons afflicted with hydrophobia in
this State, led the Legislature at it's
last session to make an appropria-
ton for the erection and equipment
of a hydrophobia hospital building
The institution is an adjunct of the
State Insane Asylum at Austin. 1t
will be completed and ready for open
ing about October 1.
DR.. B. NJ. Worsham, superintendent
of the new institution, has received
twenty applications for treatment
from persons who had been bitten
by rabid dogs within the past three or
four weeks. He was unable to take
charge of any of these cases and most
of the patients went to the Pasteur
Institutes of the North and East for
treatment. One of these applicants.
who did not have the money with
which to meet the expenses of the
long trip and for the treatment, died
of hydrophobia. Free treatment will
be given at the Texas State institu-
ton to those who are unable to pay
for same and in no case will the
charges exceed IS per week, which
will go TO pay the board of the patient
while at the hospital. This charge
is insignificant compared with that of
the private institutes. where the cost
to each patient for treatment is from
$50 to $3.50.

that Erie had obtained the new Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton and Pere
Marquette combination and would in
clude the Toledo, st. Louis and West

an adverse influence on speculative

NIGHT MAKES
NO DIFFERENCE
Yankee Gunners Shoot as
Accurately in the Dark as
in the Broad Light of Day

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Remark-
able results have already been obtained
in the naval target practice now going
on in Menemsha Blight. The vessels of
the North Atlantic squadron in last
springs target practice broke all the
worlds records for rapidity and &C
curacy of fire, both with big and little
guns, but this was daylight work I'M
der favorable conditions for good
shooting. The big ships are now do
ing some extraordinary night shooting.
The experience of the Russo-Japa-
nese war has convinced the general
board that in the future the great
naval battles may be fought at night,
and it is certain that most of the tor
pedo work will be done in the hours of
darkness. Hence it is believed to be es-
sential to develop the gun pointers in
night work, and already surprising re-
suits have been obtained in the prac-
tice in the blight. Using her eight-inch
guns one of the battleships made eight
hits out of nine shots at night. The
target, distant about a mile, was illu-
minated by a searchlight, and the gun
ners used a special night sight. The
ship from which the shooting was done
was forging ahead in the open sea at
ten knots.
