Test Proves One Canine Was Mad

Test Proves One Canine Was Mad
Doubt About Others.
Police Officer Tedman will not know
whether the dog which bit him In the
foot last week had rabies or was simply
savage. The rabbit which was inoculated
with virus from the dogs brain died from
other causes before rabies had time to
develop. DR.. Corbett is quite satisfied
that the animal did not have the disease,
for he found that it had painful sore on
the jaw. which was quite sufficient to
cause it to show savage disposition.
q A small dog owned by Mr.. Lowe OF
Southeast Minneapolis undoubtedly had
rabies. A rabbit inoculated by DR.. j. r.
Corbett, the city bacteriologist, developed
uRmistakable symptoms Of the disease
and died Saturday in characteristic con-
vulsions AS far as Is known this dog did
not bite any persons. So
DR.. Corbett has several other rabbits
under observation, but will not be able
to report for some time. There have been
an unusual number of mad dogs In the
city this winter and DR.. Corbett advises
all persons to lock up their dogs as soon
as they show any suspicious symptoms.

MAN WHO BANISHES
STREET DUST HERE

Leonard Schade van Westrum of Chi
cago, the inventor Of Westrumite, is in
the city in the interests Of his product,
which is attracting the attention Of
road officials in this country. West.
rumite is patent preparation Of oil
and water for street sprinkling. The
South park commission Of Chicago used
the preparation on two miles Of park
boulevard last summer and achieved q
marked success.
These boulevards are macadamized
with limestone and reported to be very
dusty in dry weather and muddy in
wet weather. Westrumite made these
boulevards the favorite driveways for
the dust nuisance was abolished and in
wet weather they were like an asphalt
street.
Only from three to five parts Of the
preparation to ninety five or inety-seven
parts Of watefa are NEEDED, ordinary
sprinkling carts being used for distribu-
ton. The experiments of last sum
mer were SO J successful that all the
driveways under the control Of the Chi
cago commissioners will be treated with
Westrumits this year.
Negotiations between Mr.. Van West
rum and the aldermen Of the fifth ward
for the use Of the preparation on the
streets Of the ward are now pending
and the aldermen have about concluded
to give it a trial.

matter in court on writ of certiorari.

HOT DEBATE ON BALANCE
MINISTER'S ALLIANCE CAN'T DE-
" eide WHAT TO DO WITH REvI-
VAL FUND REMNANT. IS z e e..

+. Some, real parliamentary ginger
marked today's session of the Minis
ters' Alliance when it discussed the re-
fusal Of N. Mccarthy, treasurer Of the
Chapman revival committee, to honor
draft for some 5000 balance in the
hands of the committee, made by the
Ministers Alliance and which draft
was for payment Of part Of the deficit
institute held here. @sa
DR.. l.. T. Guild was the most caustic
in his remarks. He criticized the ap-
plication of "red-tape methods. - ~
"The Minister'S alliance seems to
have created Frankenstein in the
Chapman revival committee which. is
greater than its creator, he said. 'tThe
alliance first made the committee, which
did such good work, but now seems to
have absolutely no authority over it. !"
Rev. James E.. Smith took exception
to the turning Of the money over to
ing from their missionary institute, on
the ground that the money must be de-
voted to the purpose for which it was
given. the local evangelistic movement.
He criticised rather strongly motion
which Rev. P. A. Cool had renewed to
have the money formally turned over to
the young people.
bTOLnef COOL mas no more rlgnt TO
vote to turn the balance Of the Chap
man fund to another committee than
he has to take money out Of my peck
ct, said Mr.. Smith. 'sThe only thing
which can, be done is to return the
money proportionately to the churches
which gave it. - f-.s $50 - 50
Considerable minor debate on both
sides Of the question followed for q
few moments, when someone moved the
previous question. Rev. DR.. Hood, in
the chair, tried to smoothe the matter
over by a few brief remarks, but DR..
Guild arose and called the chair to a
point of order that the previous ques-
ton had been moved and that the chair
could not debate it any more than any
other member of the organization pres
ent. ~. .
The association finally again passed
resolution to turn the money over to
the young people for the debt Of their
missionary institute, and on motion of
DR.. A. B. Marshall, chairman Of the
Chapman committee, that committee
was formally discharged, after, his mo-
tion had been amended extending a
vote of thanks to the committeeman for
their efficient work.

While nothing has been said at these

IF Speaker Consents to Large Appro-

"There is a possibility that we will
be able to secure what we went after,
said Mr.. Nye. elf the speaker will
consent to "a public building appropria-
tion bill. Of $15,OOO,0O0 or more, believe
it will include a provision for the pur-
office in Minneapolis. If the bill is
kept below that amount, tho, we prob
ably shall fail, for the large sum neces-
sary for a site here would satisfy a
large number Of representatives who are
asking for buildings in smaller cities
in their districts.
g Major Hale and myself enjoyed
every opportunity to present the case
before the committee. Several mem
bers assured US that the necessity Of a
new building for Minneapolis had been
their support. We saw both senators
and received assurances that they
would look after our interests when the
bill reached the senate. We also pre-
sented our needs to the postmaster
general, the secretary Of the treasury
and the supervising architect, whose
opinions and recommendations will car
ry great weight.

re ''The question Of location was not
discussed, but the chairman Of the
committee and others were emphatic
in declaring that it must be located
near the railroad station to save ex-
pense and delay incident to transpor-
tation to and from the building to the
