A man giving his name as DR.. stephen

Policeman McGregor Of the tenth pre-
cinct and held on suspicion of working
a confidence game. The policeman was
told that the young man had made an
effort to obtain a loan on a supposed gold

STATEHOOD BILL PASSED.
Unanimous Vote in the House Under
Suspension of the Rules.

The bill granting separate statehood to
Arizona and New Mexico was passed by
the unanimous vote of the House of
Representatives yesterday afternoon I'M
der suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Hamilton. Michigan having the
measure in charge, spoke briefly in sup
port of 1t. He said 1t was net a party
question. Both sides. he declared, were
now rallying to fulfill party pledges.
Mr.. Smith, Arizona's delegate. made a
plea for the passage of the bill That
such a bill had not been passed before,
said he. was a matter which stood as a
shame against the record of Congress.
There were cries of Vote" vote" but
the ballot was not taken until Represent
ative Stanley. Kentucky; Caudler, Missis-
sippi; Cole. Ohio, and Suzer. New York,
had eulogized Delegates Smith and An
drews. and predicted their early return
to Congress.
1t is thought the measure though it
went through the House with such ease
this being, however. the climax of long.
bitter fight-will have hard time of 1t in
the Senate. particularly in view of the
crowded condition of the calendar of that
body in the closing days of the session
and the operation of an organized fill
buster. The friends Of the bill are hope
full, however. and predict that the Senate
will jam it through before adjournment
the 4th of March.

err It and Delivered It.

Claiming damages to the extent Of s1O.-
600 because of mental anguish suffered
by himself and wife. due to failure to re-
ceive a report from the Department OF
Agriculture on the head Of a dog which
had bitten him. A. c. Downey OF Norfolk.

he had it killed and shipped the head to
the government authorities about Decem-
Der 90.
After waiting for five days. he says. and
hearing no word, Downey claims to have
come to Washington, finding the package
still at the express Office and taking it to
the authorities in person. He says further
that the authorities pronounced the case
Of the dog to be rabies. and he was
therefore compelled to remain here for
treatment.
Officials of the express company here
said this morning that they had heard OF
the suit. but knew no details. as their
legal department Is in New York. They
assert the package, delayed in transit. did
not reach here in time to be delivered be-
fore the day-and-a-half government holi-
day at Christmas. They also declare the
package was delivered on the day follow
ing, December %.
At the Department of Agriculture this
morning no record of a dogs head re-
ceived on December 20 was found. There
was record, however. OF the receipt OF
a head from the health officials Of Nor
folk December %. This case, which is
thought to have been the case In question,
was pronounced rabies by the experts
1t was also aScertained at the bureau
of hygiene of the public health and ma
rine hospital service, where are located
the government medical experts in the
treatment of cases of rabies, that both
Downey and his wife were given the treat
ment, taking twenty-one days, beginning
