coNF1RMAToRY EVIDENCE.
Animal Which Bit Robert Buckley Wa.
Afflicted With Rabies

microscopic examination, made today
by the bureau of animal industry, Depart
ment of Agriculture, confirms the state
ment made Saturday that the bulldog which
bit Mr.. Robert w. Buckley was suffering
with rabies AS a consequence Mr.. Bulk
ley, who is now undergoing treatment at
the Pasteur Institute, Baltimore, will take
every possible precaution to prevent Ill eff
fects from the wound inflicted by the ami
NAL.
Mr.. Buckley lives at 1744 F street north
west, Is clerk in the record and pension
son of DR.. J. w. Buckley He has several
pets, including Angora cats and other fe-
lines OF less arfstocratic breed The bull
pup about seven months old, however, was
the pride of the household.
Last Thursday the terrier, which had pre-
viously manifested most playful and gen
tie disposition, became morose and vicious,
and when a kitten attempted to play with
by the throat and quickly killed 1t. 1t next
attacked an Angora cat and bit 1t severely
before the animal could escape.
Suddenly the dog snapped, decorating Mr..
time, fastening leash to the dogs collar.
He continued his efforts and finally sue
ceeded in tying 1t. The dog then became
furious, swapping and pulling at the cord
by which 1t was held. Failing In its eff
forts to get away, 1t 'gnawed the leash un-
til 1t was broken Then, with a wild dash,
the animal bounded into the street.
The course followed by the dog on Its run
was from the Buckley home, at the corner
of 18th street, to G street, to 18th. where 1t
bit dog belonging to livery stable on G
street between 18th and 18th streets. 1t
then ran up 18th street to Pennsylvania
avenue. where 1t bit an unknown dog. From
18th street 1t ran on Pennsylvania avenue
to 18th street, where 1t bit dog be-
longing to Fred w. Boone. confec-
toner. and another unknown dog. 1t
then rushed to H street and west to Goth
street, where 1T bit pup owned by MI
Bradley. AS 1t tore down Goth street 1t bit
dog belonging to Mrs. Weightman of 708
10th street and then went on to Virginia
avenue and through Virginia avenue to
the pound. biting two other dogs on the
way.
When the dog was taken from the box
In which 1t had been kept over night. to
be killed. Friday morning. it was found
that 1t had gnawed through wooden crate
which contained twoIcats that had been
sent to the pound to be chforoformed. The
cats had been literally torn to pieces.
Dr. N. &. keirle, directorxof the Pasteur

WOULD FILL ROCK CREEK.
r. M. Towson Has Novel Scheme, but
Commissioners Turn It Down.

The Commissioners have received COM
munciation from r. NJ. Towson outlining
pian for filling up Rock creek to the level
CT the surrounding country practically with
out expense. This correspondent is the one
who suggested to the Commissioners the
advisability of dumping gas tar into the
Potomac for the purpose of killing the
mosquitoes. In the second letter Mr.. Tow
son says that 1t is well-known fact that
loose earth is dumped on the banks Of the
creek at all times, and that 1t is washed
down into the creek by the rain. and Is car
ried down by the flow of the water and
finally emptied into the Potomac, necessi-
tating the dredging of the channel or the
river at enormous expense.
"Cheaply constructed dams of wood, ne
saws "placed across Rock creek somewhere
near Massachusetts avenue, street and
NJ street would stop the current, cause the
mud to settle and in few years settle the
kock creek problem by filling up the ravlne
without any considerable cost. These dams
should be ten or fifteen feet high ana not
necessarily very water tight and the gas
house refuse, put on the water, would avoid
all danger from sickness.
In replying to the communication TINS

tion but his office docs not share the De
lief that the proposed treatment would Do

ANOTHER WHITE HOUSE CRANK.
Wanted President to Mend the ways
of Some Society People.

An elderly man who said to the secret
service detectives at the White House that
he Is DIR. John P Baird of Greenville, Tex
was arrested as an alleged crank when
he called at the White House this morning
and said he wanted to see the President.
He had written the President several let
ters before he left home telling OF the al
legged conduct of society people In his town.
Fearing he would have trouble in getting
an audience with the President, the doctor
presented a short letter, in which he ex-
pressed confidence in the Presidents being
willing to hear what poor man has to
say.
He said he had read that President
Roosevelt had saved little kittens from
perishing, and he felt sure that a man who
would do that would grant him few min
utes' hearing. He had a matter Of vital
Importance to disclose he stated, and could
get through with his business in a few min
utes He was denied the privilege of an In
terview, and was turned over to the police
by Secret Service Detective Taylor.
1t is probable that he will be sent home.
His wife, Mrs Lula Baird, he says lives at
286 North Wright street, Greenville He
says she knew he was coming here to see
about the publication of a book, but did
not know he was coming to see the Presi-
dent.

The California Harvester.

When dawn Is red over the Califor-
MIA wheat fields, says Everybody's
Magazine, n leviathan comes lumber.
Ing down the road. shooting out heavy
clouds of smoke, and falls to attack
ing the grain. This machine, heavy
as church and complicated as n
watch, Is n mechanical marvel. Be-
fore, goes numbering engine with a
heavy stack, and a frebox that vom.
its out dense flames from hot pc
troleum fire. Behind, 1t is all levers
and big pillars and curious devices
OF steel. 1t works with the complex
accuracy OF human being. The
sickle buzzes, and the heads from a
20.foot swath fall smoothly on a can
vas bed. You catch glimpses of them
rushing here and there through the
complex mechanism, and presently a
laborer, who has been very busy with
some sacks, jerks down lever.
Bump! Out tumble four fat bags of
wheat. At the other end. man with
a shovel works like mad, clearing
away pile of chaff and short, crum.
pied straw. This is all that the liz.
norant observer sees: only the engi-
neer can tell you how the grain. which
stood in proud array a minute before,
is now ready for mill-a months work
In five minutes.

Whose mental aud moral height
Gives. for outlook, n boundless horizon
Who, seeing, dares face the light.
Three cheers for the man who can do

While others are wondering how!
Who, pedging himself TO the truth and

Has never forgotten his vow.
All hail to the man Of true courage!
Who, never shirking the fight,
Would choose the paths that lead
through peace.
BY n calmer and lofticr sight.
Three cheers for the man who can see
things.
With vision strong and fine.
Who has led the land, with unerrina
hand
To the Nations foremost line.
To him, alone on the mountain,
Came the word that gave him power
To consccrate the Nation,
In the Nations darkest hour.
All hail to the man God appointed
To do what our hero has done,
God bless TO the Nation the glory
Which he, for the Nation, has won.
