The danger OF rabies. and the neces-
sity OF taking every possible precau-
ton TO prevent an outbreak of the
agonlzing disease IN the District OF Co
lumbia. which has been pointed out Ia
The Times for the last two weeks, has
resulted in the PRONUNCIATION Of an order
by The District Commissioners making
il compulsory to muzzle ali dogs
The Commissioners issued this order
after the President, who, having read
the statements Of experts I'm The Times.
and having famIliarized himself with
the situation al first hand through the
Bureau OF Animal Industry. deemed
that the only safo course TO follow
would be TO have all dogs muzzled.
The President wrote to Commissioner
Macfarland yesterday afternoon Outlin-
ing his views on the subject. The Com
missioner, who has repeatedly express
ed himself as being opposed TO the InuZ-
Zling OF dogs complied with the Presi-
dents sugge ton almost Immediately
and his colleagues issued an order pro
viding that all dogs shall be muZzled
for six months. II animals are found
on the street without muzzles they will
be sent TO the pound whether they are
licensed or not.

Commissioners order.
Commissioner mcfarland has asked
for an opinion from Corporation Coun-
sci L. II. Thomas as 10 the legal mean
ing OF the phrase running at large
as It may be interpreted 20 mean that
the new order applies only 10 dogs run
ming loose and not 10 those carried in
arms or secured by leash. As the regu-
lation goes into effect To-Day, the DIS
trict officials suggest that all dogs be
muzzled as soon as possible, and that
no dog be permitted on the streets UNI
less held in check by leash
DR.. Woodward today reported that
forty licensed dogs were surrendered

had become alarmed at the prevalence
OF rabies IN the city. These animals
were put TO death painlessly.
Tie added expenses Of the pound serv-
Ices will be paid from the emergency
fund.
Danger From Pet Animals.
The order of the Commissioners
which goes INTO effect today, Is jus
tI6cation OF the attitude which has been
maintained by The Times. which has
printed from day TO day interviews
with some of the most prominent pa
biologists in the country, These IN
terviews set forth clearly the unneces-
sarv danger TO which the public was
subjected, not only from stray dogs,
but from pet animals

FRIENDS WE'D

Friends Ct former Chief Justice
John n Barlord are up IN arms and
indignantly protesting against the an
warranted attack OF the Republican
pls SIS bureau oi the state on CHIEF
Justice Williams and Associate Justice
Sam w Hayes for participating IN the
Tulsa convention as spectators. Judge
Burford's friend claim llat while ihe
attack Is apparently made on Chief
Justice Williams. II is in reality a
direct slap at Judge Burford, whc,
while CHIEF justice OF the Oklahoma
termtorial court attended the Republi-
can state convention at Tulsa a year
ago as chairman OF the delegation
from 'lcgan county. served as mem
her OF the committee on rese lntions,
and was commonly reported to have
written the bulk oi the nlatf rm adopt
ed AlthomgA candidate toe Ne elcc
ton. the fact that Judge Williams IS
SO popular that the Republicans OF the
state failed t. nominate g candidate 10
oppose him. makes it cgide9t TO Judge
Bufford's friends that the Republican
press bureau can have no reason f0r
opening a fight against him and be
licvc that the real anmus behind the
articles attacking Judge Williams is
directed at the former territorial chief
Justice.
IN this connection. those who attend
ed the Republican convention at Tulsa
a year age win recall that not only
was Chief Justice Burford thore and
ac,ing as member of the committee
on resolutions. but that he took with
him his official court reporter, Tony
Higgins. who did the stenographic
work for the sslutions committee.
/ II Is also recalled thai Associate
Justices Gillette. Irwin and Hainer

Roosevelt 7
RESTLESS

Washington. D. G.. Sept. 1.-THE
early return of President Roosevelt is
considered significant His interest
in the present presidential campaign
Us a matter of history. The central
location OF Washington FOR fine 20.
litical work appeals strongly TO the
president and others who desire to aid
AR. TAFT but prefer TO do so under
cover as much as possible. There Is
little doubt that some interesting
things win be doing around the execu-
tive office late in September 1t is
expected that his message TO congress
this year will not be as hot a document
as in past years Approaching the
EEK period OF his political activity,
the president appreciates the indiffer.
ence congress will show 10 his Views,
and how eagerly that body will look
TO the new president If Republican
for light and guidance. Therefore, Il
is the general belief that the last reg
ular message OF President Roosevelt
will contain little that is new.
