caring for the eleven orphans than in
any other way. Mr.. Eonis said he was
on his way to Minneola, Fla, where
he expected to make his home.
On reaching Glasgow Junction the
party had great difficulty in finding a
place to spend the night, owing to the
size of the family, but finally man

Special to The Herald.
SAWTELLE, April 13.-No little ex-
element has been aroused here by the
receipt OF telegram from the Pasteur
institute of Chicago, which in sub
stance says that an examination of the
brains of dog killed in Sawtelle some
time ago shows evidence of rabies.
1t will be remtmbered that F. K.
Ruez was bitten by the animal and at
the time local physicians believed the
canine was suffering from the dread
disease. Mr.. Ruez was sent to a New
York hospital for treatment and later
was transferred to the Chicago in
stitute. The body of the animal was
sent to the same place for examination,
with the result that today the following
telegram was received:
Show Evidence of Rabies
Dogs brains show evidence OF
rabies (Signed) "Dr. La Goris."
On March 81, Mr.. Ruez, chief florist
at the Soldiers home, was bitten
by dog which for several months had
been pet of many of the veterans.
Before the animal could be killed 1t
had bitten several dogs and two val
liable horses. The former have been
killed but the latter, having shown NO
signs of being inoculated, have not
been destroyed. Both are valuable ami
mails and unless symptoms of the rabies
appear they will not be killed.
Because of the fact that so many ami
mails were bitten, Sawtelle people are
greatly alarmed.
No chances will be taken and the
moment that a dog or other animal
shows signs of the terrible disease it
will instantly be killed.

Stockton's Population Booms

STOCKTON, April 13.-Tthat the city
of Stockton has increased in popula-
tion during the past two or three years
is evidenced by the fact that the latest
directory just published contains the
names Of $4,000 adults. Figuring upon
basis of three persons to each name
this gives to Stockton and suburbs a
total population of $4,000 people, an
increase of 11,O0O over the census taken
In 1900. Most of the increase came
during the latter half of the period
since 1900.

IT'S NEWS TO WOOD.
First Intimation About Killing Chill
dren Comes From America.

Washington, March 1s.-Secretary
Taft has received two eablegrams from
Major General Leonard Wood at Ma
Mia relative to the Mount Da1O fight.
The first is dated yesterday and reads
as follows:
IF more detailed information con
corning the facts connected with the
Mount Dajo fight is desired I suggest
that Major Hugh L. Scott be called
upon. He IS thoroughly familiar with
the situation, having spent eight
months in the attempt to get these
people off the mountain without fight
ing
The Major Scott referred to has been
on leave of absence in this country,
and has just arrived in Washington in
answer to the secretary's summons.
He was referred to in some of the Ma
Mia cablegrams as having really
caused the present trouble at Mount
Dajo by reason of the exercise of too
great lentency toward the brigand
Moros.
The second dispatch from General
Wood is dated Manila today and reads
as follows:
Sensational cables sent to the
United States relating to the Mount
Dajo fight were made up in Manila.
There has been no reference in any
cable from Mindanao to the killing OF
women and children. On receipt OF
4 Colonel Andrews condensed report
from me in Washington. the American
I newspapers cabled for details. The re-
porters here had no other information
/ than was contained In my report to
4 Colonel Andrews and supplied sensa-
tioual features"
