COUNCIL MAY
ENDOW A BED
Movement Started to Treat
Rabies Victims in Local
Hospitals

That Wilmington is in need OF a place
where patients bitten by mad dogs may
be treated was demonstrated last night at
the weekly meeting of City Council when
bills for treating three victims Of dogs at-
nicted with rabies, were presented and or
dered paid.
The bills we're presented by DR.. Harold
L. Springer for treating Henry Pusey and
Frank Morgan, members Of the Union
Fire Company, and by the Pasteur Insti-
tute at Baltimore for giving the treatment
to the small daughter Of ID. J. Konneally,
No. 100 Washington street Dr. SPRING
ers bill amounted to slS2 which included
$50 for attending the TWO patients. The
bill Of the Baltimore institution amounted
to s75.
Both were ordered paid subject to the
approval of the auditor.
Pusey and Morgan we're bitten by mad
dog at Lancaster avenue and Union street
after it had run amuck a day Morgan
killing the animal with a club.
In all three cases it would have worked
a hardship for the victims to pay for the
treatment they received. Consequently
when the bills were received and after a
statement made by President Of Council
Banning, Council passed them without
further discussion.
Mr.. Banning in discussing the Pusey
and Morgan cases made il plain that some
provision should be made for the treat
ment OF such cases in Wilmington. He
spoke highly OF the Wilmington hospitals
and said that Council should at least pro.
vide the means so that rabies patients
could be treated in at least one OF th'
local institutions.
Mr.. Bilderback. who presented the bill
for treatment of the Kenneally child
voiced Mr.. Banning's sentiments and ex
pressed the hope that Council would en-
dow bed for the treatment OF such casei
in one Of the local hospitals.

NO WHITE MAN
WITH PEARY
When he Planted the Stars
And Stripes at the North
" Pole q
DUKE OF ABRUZZI MAY BT
A JUDGE OF THE DISPUTE
BY United Press Leased Special wire

by united Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o.-It is now
the unsupported word Of one white
man against that OF another. The polar
controversy has resolved itself into a
question Of purely personal veraclty
between DR.. Frederick A. Cook and
Commander Robert r. Peary.
According TO the statements OF each
over his signature. neither was ac-
companied by a member OF his own
race when he is alleged to have plant
ed the stars and stripes at the North
Pole.
That Commander Peary had with him
only his old negro body servant. Matt
Hensen, and handful OF Eskimos
when he made the gast tsage OF his
journey toward the pole. and that he
had sent back the only remaining white
member OF the expedition when he
reached latitude SIS was not known
until the first instaliment OF his de-
tailed story Of his trip was published
today.
one OF the principal arguments made
by the Peary supporters against the ac-
ceptance OF DR. Cooks claims to dis
covery OF the pole was his own ad-
mission that he was unaccon panied
by any white man and that. aside from
the records OF his observations. the
only corroborative evidence he could
produce would be the testimony Of the
two Esslmos who were with him on
his final dash.
Now. II appears from Commander
Peary's own story that he himself was
IN like situation. Aside from the negro
Hensen. who had been his imam Friday
for the past twenty years. his sole COM
panions we're four Eskimos. There was no
white man with him who can new take
the witness stand and testify to the &C.
curacy Of his scientific observations above
tho latitude OF 81 degrees and minutes.
4 Peary says that when he started from
( Cape Columbia there were seven mem
= hers Of the party, A Eskimos and Il
- dogs. The members Of the expedition wei
Ie Peary. Goodsali, Macmillan, Borup. Ma
vim. Bartlett and Hensen. From time

either In comand OF so-calied support
~ parties or for other efe2sons. Goods
=, Borup and Marvin each returned n cr1ri
bc OF a quota OF Es1imoF. dogs and sie'
~ Macmillan was forced to return on 4
T. count of a frost bitten foot. Finally VIII
or SIS north latitude was reached. Peary
ne sole white companion was Captain Bar
lett. and he was sent back from this polI
e with two Eskimos and the necessar
equipment to supply him until Cape CO
n lumbia should be reached. From there o.
r Peary had with him only the faithful
r Hensen and four Esslmos.

grip, but paid no particular attention
to it The family retired, but at
about ten the girls heard a noise like
that of baby crying. They got the
Doctor up and investigation showed
that the grip in the hall contained q
baby boy. A hole had given it air.
A card attached said, take good care
of baby. will see you later The
babe was cared for and the next day
Joe Perion and wife took il to care
for. At noon it died. Its identity
will probably never be known. Some
one from the tram could have taken
the grip up town, or it could have
been brought in from the country.
The affair caused much comment.

TRICKS OF THE MEDICINE MEN.
Secrets Are Revealed to Them h
Dreams.

A young Indian, who is ambitious to
become doctor, and finally prophet,
learns from his father or other men,
Der of his tribe, the name and medi.
clnal properties of some herb. says q
writer in the Denver Field and Farm.
He can also, by presenting sufficient
number of ponies to a medicine man.
prevail upon the doctor to impart the
secret of the herbs to him. Frequent.
ly Indians allege that the secret is
revealed to them in dream, or by
bird or an animal. After procuring
1t, the novice is prepared to begin the
practice of medicine. Success in their
opinion is only possible with the aid
OF the Great Spirit, and in order to in
woke the help of the supernatural they
resort TO various sacrifices.
For instance, there is the practice
OF ascending butte or other eleva-
ton and lying with the face to the
ground for several days without food
or until they are completely exhaust
ed. During this period they profess
to have been taught some song or
the Great Spirit conversed with them
through bird. wild animal or
reptile. They frequently allege that
wolves come to them and howl and
that they understand what the ami
mails say. While treating a patient
they place tobacco in little pouches
which they tie with sinew These are
painted brilliant colors and fastened
to willow sticks about the size of the
shaft of an arrow, but somewhat
longer.
