DOGS BITE MAY KILL
Guarding X Mistress. He Tears
Woman and Child.

New York. Aug. 7.-Mrs. Freida
Sness and her son Fred, aged s, were
taken from their home in Flatbush, to
hospital today, both probably fatal
ly wounded by a brindle bulldog. The
surgeons say there is no hope for the
mother, whose throat, chest, and arms
are frightfully torn. The boy is not
SO badly wounded ana may have a

The dog is owned by Mrs. Laura
Lebess. who lives on the floor above
the Sness apartment. This afternoon
Mrs. Lebess had an epileptic fit. Mrs
Sness, with her boy, went up to aid
her neighbor, who was alone with her
bulldog. As Mrs. Lebess was help
less, Mrs. Sness forced the door When
she pushed it open the bulldog sprang
at her. First he tore at her dress,
and as she fell back the animal leaped
for her throat and fastened his fangs
deep into the flesh.

Mrs. Sncss fought blindly and man.
aged to shake the bulldog off. In
doing so she fell, and the dog returned
to the attack, tearing her neck and
chest and ripping great wounds in
her shoulders and arms.
The boy stuck to his mother like a
hero, using all his feeble strength to
pull off the dog. The animal paid
no attention to the hoy until Mrs.
Sness had ceased to struggle and then
threw itself on the boy.
Thought Animal Was Mad.
The boy lent his voice to the
screams of his mother, and several
neighbors were aroused by the excite
ment, but none OF them wanted to en-
ter the room for fear of the dog and
because of the fear that the animal
was mad. Mrs. Lebess, suddenly
awakening from her stupor and drag
ging herself to the window, screamed
frantically for help,

NO BOND ISSUE
Panama Issue Will Wait on Change
of Circulation Tax Law.

Washington, Aug. 7.-None of the
new Panama honds authorized by
congress at the session just closed
will be issued before congress meets
again and has had an opportunity to
change the existing circulation tax.
Announcement to this effect was made
in statement issued by Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh late yes
terday.
Two reasons for withholding the
new issue are set forth by Secretary
MacVeagh as follows:
Under existing law the tax on cir
culation secured by three per cent
bonds is one per cent, while one-half
per cent is the tax on circulation se-
cured by two per cent bonds. The
circulation privileges of the new
bonds would therefore be superior to
those of the two per cent bonds-and
would produce a discrimination
against the latter. The secretary
feels that it is duty of the govern-
ment to see that the two per cent
bonds have the protection of a parity.
The conference committee concluded
not to readjust the circulation taxes
at this time. The treasury department
will therefore sell only three per cent
certificates. with term limited to ono
year. If it shall become necesssrZ.
before congress meets, to replenish
the treasury's cash"

Center junction, Iowa, was waylaid
by two masked men in the shadows

LABOR WAR MAY
END IN PEACE
Indications Point to a Com
promise of Chicago Street
Car Trouble

Chicago, Aug. 7-The impression
was strong today that peace would be
maintained between the street car
companies and their employees. Presi-
dent Mitten of the Chicago City rail-
way, intimated that he was willing
to grant the required advance in
wages, provided the men would sign
three years contract.
President Reach of the north and
west side lines, stated that he would
go as far as Mitten in this direction.
The motor men and conductors in
terviewed seemed jubilant over the
prospect of peace. They had voted to
stand by the demands made upon the
companies" but it is said without any
real idea that strike would become
necessary.
Mitten was at his Office early pre-
pared to meet the committee repre-
senting the men of his road today to
discuss terms.

NEW DIVORCE REMEDY
City Women llltempered Because
Shoes and Corsets Pinch.

New York, Aug. 7.-"If more of the
women in New York City knew how
to pitch hay and milk COWS there
would be less need of divorce courts. /"
After this cryptic statement Miss
Mabelle Meeker, acrobatic dancer in
THE Midnight Sons," was silent while
|she deftly bound the soft folds Of her
hair with blue band. Her task
completed, she wheeled in her chair
and In front of her dressing room mir
ror and faced the reporter.
Most Of the women in New York
City or any other big city, are SO ill
tempered that man with the dispo-
sition of saint could not live with
them, she announced. "NO wonder
the divorce courts are so full that
some of the cases are tried in five
minutes to hurry and make room for
Others"
But you are making the women
entirely responsible" the reporter
protested.
We'll, they are," agreed Miss Meek
er, but 1t is because they are ignor-
ant. Just stop and think that so per
cent of the women in this city today
are dressed in clothes that make them

eaten things that give them head
ache or make them actually i'll. Their
muscles are SO soft from lack of pro-
per exercise that the slightest exer-
tion fatigues them. No wonder they
are Ill tempered!

Miss Meeker paused.
DO you know what l would like to

What She Would DO.
II would have her:
Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning
and put on loose. comfortable gar
ments.
She would eat her breakfast at z,
and she would drink fresh milk in
stead of tea or coffee.
During the morning she would help
pitch hay; this develops the muscles
of the chest and promotes proper
breathing.
"1f there was no hay to pitch she
might plow or weed the garden.
After her dinner in the middle of
the day she should rest fiat on her
back for an hour.
During the afternoon she would
take ride. returning to tepid plunge
and dressing for light supper.
ITO get a sufficient amount of sleep
she should be in bed by o'clock ev-
cry night.
Il would like to guarantee that any
woman who would follow those in
structions would not have to fear "af-

interest.
And if he did not appreciate her ef-
forts she would have trained herself
into such condition that she could

NARROW ESCAPE
Building Collapses at Glcndive,
Mont, With Almos: Score in it.

Glendive, Mont, Aug. 7.-Seventeen
men narrowly escaped death hero
when Chas. Krug's store building
collapsed.
Without warning, the wall, near
which men excavating on an adjoin-
ing lot were worns..g, bulged and
suddenly fell, scattering brick for
several feet.
The building was occupied by sa-
loon in which there were seventeen
men when the roof fell. All OF these
men barely escaped death. Heavy
timbers supporting the roof crushed
the fixtures to splinters. Only threu
men were injured, none seriously.
One Of them had to be dug out OF the
debris.
The building was totally destroyed.
and the loss is estimated at $4,000.
The falling of the, wall resulted from
the excavation operations.

The Doctor Shielded by Vic
TINS Deathbed Silence,
Denies His Guilt

Philadelphia. Aug. 7.-As the result
Of an investigation by Coroner Ford,
acting with District Attorney Rotan,
DR.. William H. Bricker, prominent
physician, residing at 933 North Broad
street, was held in $4,000 bail today to
await the outcome of an inquest into
the death of Josephine Walsh, of 418
South Tenth street, a pretty 18-year-
old girl, who died on July 25.
DR.. Bricker had hearing before
Coroner Ford. who sat as a commits
ting magistrate. After his bail had
been fixed the physician obtained a
Dondsman and was released until the
Inquest. which will be held this week
although the day has not been set.
DR.. Bricker was at one time con-
uected with the Police Emergency
Corps and Is member of the staff of
'everal Philadelphia hospitals.
Operation Revealed.
A few days ago the district attorney
received letter from DIR. Louis Cho-
noff. of 705 Pine street, who attended
The Walsh girl during her last illness
which suggested that there were sus-
picious circumstances connected with
The trouble causing her death. He
urged an investigation.
This letter was referred to the cor
Dner, who detailed Detectives Paul and
Slevin upon the case, while Coroner's
Physician Remig held a post-mortem
examination. As result of this in
vestigation DR.. Bricker was arrested.
DIR. Chodoff declared that the girl
died as the result Of an illegal opera
hon having been performed upon her,
and the post mortem examination
made by the cor0ner's physician con-
firmed this statement. The girl her.
self, 1t is said, maintained an absolute
silence before her death and refused
to implicate anyone.
Doctor Bricker when asked to make
q statement concerning the case, de.
MED that he knew anything of 1t.
When asked If he was not held in
bail to await the action Of the coro-
ner's jury, ne said:
"No. this is the first have heard of
the matter"
He was then asked II he had no
statement to make In regard to the
case, and he replied:
mot knowing anything about It. I
can make none."
Bricker Denial Refuted.
Despite the Doctors statements indi-
eating ignorance of the whole affair,
Coroner Ford verified the fact that the
doctor had been notified Of the action
Of the jury by being arrested, and has
obtained q bondsman.
DR.. Louis Chodoff, who gave the In
formation to the coroner which led to-
the arrest Of Doctor Bricker, was seen
in his Office at 705 Pine street, and
manifested much annoyance that the
affair had become public.

ton which led to the arrest Of Doctor

Lndianians Will Strike Telling
BLolu For Cause of Statehood

Of her achievements and statesmen
past and present. We recognize that
the senators of Indiana and the mem
bers of the lower house of the past
have been, and Of the present are of
commanding ability and influence.
We know that the senators of our
old home state today hold in the hol-
low of their hands the future of the
statehood bill for the admission of
New Mexico. which will soon reach

withour reference to past opinions are
now willing again to examine into the
fitness and right of this territory for
present admission, and willing to be
controlled in their action by the facts
as they now exist, by reason and JUS
tice
So believing, as a committee, on be-
half of the Hooser club of Las Vegas,
we call upon all the former citizens
of Indiana now residing i'm New Mex

but as well statement OF the unds-
puted facts, which prove our qualifi-
cation and right to become as state.
members of the federal union.
The president and prosident-elect
both are earnestly in favor OF imme-
diate admission. Both the national
democratic and republican parties by
their national platforms are positive
~ pledged to immediate admission,
which pledge carries with it the hon
orable obligation to perform the prom
Use made to the people of the United
States In New Mexico both politi-
cal parties gave the same pledge and
the leaders of the parties and the peo-
pie are attempting to carry it out.
Further investigation has induced
many representatives and senators
who were formerly either opposed to

port. to change their opinions and to
become advocates of statehood A
public sentiment has been aroused

and active cooperation with us along
