HE WOULD BANlsH DOGS.
Baltimore Marshal Says They Should
Have No Place I'm City-Country Is
Place For Them.

Marshal of Police Farnan declared
emphatically yesterday that, he fav-
ored ridding the city of all dogs
whether licensed or not. He said he
did not approve the suggestion to
have the police shoot all stray dogs.
Ele added that the police are doing
everything In their power to handle
the dog question under the present
laws.
THE only solution 1 can see to the
dog question which has been agitated
so much recently" said the Marshal,
''is to rid the city of them entirely.
1 do not believe In allowing dogs to
run In the streets endangering the
lives of children and others.
THE only place for dogs is in the
country. where they have plenty of
room to romp and frolic on the
greensward. Dogs seldom bite peo-
pie In the country. 1t is only In the
city that they become peevish and
cranky. They should all be taken
from tho city.
II fully agree with DR.. n. G. Keirle
OF the Pasteur department Of the
City Hospital, that children have
more right to the streets than have
the dogs. More children than older
persons are bitten BY dogs. AS is
natural. a child will play with dog
and many are bitten in this way.
Treat everybody alike. Refuse Ii
censes to shelter dogs In the city to
the owner Of the poodle or pedigreed
dogs as well as to the master of the
common mongrel type. Get rid of
them all and fewer persons will be
bitten and the nuisance will be abat-
ed.'' q.
What Is the police department do.
Ing to get rid Of vagabond dogs ?''
Marshal Farnan was asked.
when patrolman fnds a dog on
his post which has not license he is
supposed to follow the animal until 1t
leaves his bailiwick. He then finds
the other patrolman and notifies him.
The dog is watched until it returns
to Its abode and the owner is then ar
rested on a warrant which the officer
swears out. These are the instruc
items given the officers, and so far as
I know they follow them out.--Balti-

Surgeon General Walter Wyman. of

TO check the progress of this ter

Handley says, "is an important and

has been known to exist in various

the opening up of the Kongo by STAN

that the disease was carried on be-

reaches of the river. from which it
rapidly spread to all parts of the
Kongo basin.
"The matter is becoming very ur-

most end in the depopulation Of the
