on the symptoms and course of the
malady and urges that in cases where
a human being is bitten by dog that
the animal be tied up and not shot, He
declares that the Pasteur treatment
has failed in less than per cent of
the cases of persons bitten by rabid
dogs and taken to the institute. The
remedy he proposes for the stamping
out of rabies or hydrophobia in this
country is that employed successfully
in England and Sweden-simply muz-
cling every dog in the country and
keeping them muzzled. He says that
rabies has been eliminated in the
countries mentioned above by this
method. Rabies is impossible without
infection There is no such disease in
Australia and no dogs are allowed i'm
ported to that country. He says that
from 200 to 800 persons are afflicted
with this awful disease in this coun-
try every year.
Mayor Green stated that the council
tried to enforce a dog muzzling ordin-
ance last year. but it was a farce, and
for that reason adopted the plan this
summer to have the dogs tied up

half of the kilograms be sent by mai,

fight with Mexican troops brought
Amba ssador Creel to the state depart

received from his government contain
ing warning of what was to happen
but not in time to stop it.
The ambassador announced that his
government has esta blished and gar
risoned eleven posts along the border
President Roosevelt has interested
himself in the matter and all the
agencies of the American government
are being united in an effort to put
stop to violation of the neutrality laws.

in circulation in this city for several
days to the effect that George B. Cor

allow the use of his name as a candi-

no basis in any statements by Mr.
Cortelyou or his friends 1t is said
some of the leaders of the Republican
state organization approached Mr.. Cor
telyou before Governor Hughes an
nounced his willingness to accept re-
nomination and that these leaders ask
ed Mr.. Cortelyou whether he would be
willing to become a candidate in the
event that further consideration indi-
Gated his probable nomination.
1t is not understood that the NOM

Cortelyou. Mr.. Cortelyou gave no ex-

promised to consider the matter To-
day the Evening Post published the
statement that it is highly improbable
that Mr.. Cortelyou will allow the use
of his name.
