Mrs. Mabel Reed, of Mt. Holly,
Passes Through Weeks
Trying Ordeal.
HAND LICKED BY MAD
GREYHOUND, FEARED WORST
Jersey Veterinary, Who Feared
incubation Through Same Dog,
Also in Pasteur Institute.
Ispeelal % the Evenlng star.I

NEW YORK June 15-Living in con-
stant suspense of the appearance of
rabies, Mrs. Mabel Reed a wealthy
young society woman Of Mt Holly n.
j., and DR.. P. l.. Gaunt a veterinary
surgeon of the same town, have passed
the first week of their treatment at the
Pasteur Institute without the manifes-
tations of any symptoms of the dread
disease. They have two weeks yet to
remain here under constant bservation
by the Pasteur experts.
Their appearance at the institute was
occasioned by the shooting of a pet
greyhound belonging to Mrs. Reed,
which developed rabies on June s.,
shortly after licking its mistress 5
hand.
Mrs Reeds hand was licked by the
greyhound on June 4. Two days later
the dog developed rabies and was shot
by DR.. Gaunt slight abrasion on her
hand, almost unnoticed before, caused
apprehension, and she was rushed to
the Pasteur Institute.
The treatment in this institution lasts
twenty days, and until the final hour
is struck Mrs Reed will not know
whether she will have hydrophobia or
may return to her home without fur
ther apprehension. The first eight days
of the period have famed the flicker of
hope to a flame, and patient and physi-
clans alike are optimistic concerning
the result.
1.-THE two patients are progressing
nicely" was the statement made today
nv the hospital authorities. Mrs.
IN Of ro bia
thus far, and we are very hopeful that
she will not. But we never can tell
until the twenty days are up whether
a patient will succumb to the disease
or not"
DR. Gaunt shot the pet greyhound,
Belle. two days after it had licked its
uistresss hand. The animal had been
acting queerly and Dr. Gaunt took its
head to the Pasteur Institute. 1t was
found the dog had hydrophobia. and as
he had made himself liable to inocula-
zion. the veterinary decided he would
take no chances and entered the insti-
tute.
Mrs. Reed is the fascinating daugh-
fer of Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Kelley,
of Mt. Holly Mr. Kelley is vice-presi-
dent of the H B. Smith Machine Com
many and his wealth is rated high in
commercial agency reports. He lives
with his family in mansion in the
New Jersey town.
Both patients will have to remain in
the Pasteur Institute under minute sur
veillance of physicians for two weeks
more While the authorities place every
confidence in the power Of the treat
ment to prevent rabies, the element of
uncertainty is ever present, and mani
festations of rabies on the part of either
patient at any moment are not enntirely
unlocked for.
The two Railway IN. j. children who
were bitten by the rabid dog on Friday
June 3. were taken to the Pasteur In
ettture today for treatment. If the
treatment is successful they will be dis
charged July 8.

COCAINE SOLD
HERE DESPITE
NEW JERSEY LAW

Despite the rigorous law which THE
EVENING STAR has had passed pro-
hibiting the sale of cocaine there are
at least twelve men and five women
commonly known to be selling cocaine
within the city limits. This announce
ment was made today by agents of
this newspaper who are accumulating
definite evidence which can be used in
court. These professional cocaine sell
ers are operating and are obtaining
their supplies in Jersey City.
Arrests will be made and the violators
of the law sent TO prison
It has been discovered that much
snuff sold in tobacco stores is saturated
with cocaine, and that many of those
who believe that they are merely ad-
dicted to the snuff habit have, in real
ity. the cocaine habit.

of suicide, was identified at Holes

Philadelphia addresses on them. One
was Sister Magdalena German Hospit-
tai Cornthian and Gerard avenues,
and the other Medico- -Chirugical So
ciety, Seventeenth and Cherry streets
The spot where the body was found
is located outside the east fence Of
Woodland Cemetery Many use it for
short cut into Bergen street. The
grass there is tall. and it was a boy
who stumbled over the body while
passing who called the attention of
George MeCouch, of IL Chadwick ave
nue. The latter communicated with the
Fourth Precinct police station and Po-
