Rabies.

Hundreds of children today watched
the finale of a most exciting chase OF
a dog, supposed to be mad, which took

Conrad saw it bite Walter McGinn.

as he was passing Fourteenth and
Morris avenues. From Morris avenue
they started after the animal and
chased him into 1853 Newton street,
which is opposite the Newton Street
school, and finally had to lasso him
from under a bed The animal was
taken to the City Hospital, where II
will be chained and observed by the
Humane Society, and, should rabies de-
veiop, it viii be destroyed
Young McGinn refused to go to the
hospital and went home after being
bitten. The inspectors believe that
others were bitten by the dog today
and that some may have been bitten
during the chase The dog is the prop
erty of Tony Manano, of 15l Newton
street. and is described as black and
white, full grown, half-pug, which de-
scription fits that given in many COM
plants of dog bites from the same
neighborhood.
Mrs. Alice Voorhees,, of 4S5 South

Precinct police today that her son
William, IA years old, had been bitten
by a dog last Friday. She wanted the

RAMMEO
BY LADEN TRUCK
INJURIES WOMAN
Many Pedestrians Endangered
by Accident at New Pru-
Dental Building.

As hundreds were hurrying to work
past the new Prudential building this
morning at 9:20 o'clock a truck belong
ing to Brasch & Acker, of rs Mary
street. backed into a fence, knocking
a section down with great force among
many pedestrians. A young woman
was thrown to the ground by the fall
ing section, which struck her, nearly
burying her under it's weight.
The truck was heavy one loaded
with stone, which was being hoisted to
platform above for the new building.
The fence is built in sections, which are
very lightly secured for their weight,
few nails and hooks being their only
support No hinges or rollers are used,
and the sections are placed so that even
light vehicle might throw them onto
people passing on the Sidewalk with a
comparatively light impact. The force
given the fence which fell this morning
by the load of stone was sufficient to
have killed the woman, who was so
nearly under t. man was also
knocked down and many others were
narrowly missed.
The accident occurred without warn
ing and while the people thought them
selves in perfect safety from the dam
gers of a new structure Some Of those
| in the crowd assisted the injured
woman to her feet and brushed her
clothing, which was covered with dust
and practically ruined. She went on
her way embarrassed and badly shaken
up.
1t was remarked by one who saw the
occurrence that the fence had been
built so that the people could not push
| it into the street, as any weight from
the inside would break the sections be-
fore they could be forced outwards,
they being larger than the opening
through which they would have to pass.
Charles~ r. Hedden. of the Hedden
Construction Company, said this morn
ing that every precaution had been
taken and it was up to the truck people.

Police Fear Ruth Wheeler May
Not Be Only Victim of
Accused Boy.
GIRL STILL LIVED WHEN
BURNED, SAYS PHYSICIAN
Closely Questioned, the Accused
StoutIy Denies All knowledge
of Horrible Murder.

NEW YORK, March 2s-Spurred on
by the discovery that Ruth Wheeler,
the girl stenographer victim OF the sem
sational murder uncovered last Satur-
day, was by every evidence smothered
and stuffed, while unconscious, into the
fireplace of Albert VOTERS apartments
and there burned to death, the author1-
ties today continued the task of trying
to develop the real motive for the
crime After the autopsy on the body.
Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon declared
that traces of SCOT in the nostrils and
lungs convinced him that the girl was
still living when her body was set ON
fire by the murderer.
Hours of questioning OF the closest
sort have failed to shake young Wolter
in his declaration that he never had
seen the Wheeler girl and knew moth
ing of the way in which she met her
fate. He steadfastly declines to explain
the entry of Ruth Wheeler's name In
his memorandum book or to account,
TO. tic satisfaction of the police, for his
movements on the day when 1t Is
learned Miss Wheeler visited his rooms
in answer to an advertisement for a
stenographer and was not again seen
alive outside the East Seventy-f1fth
street house in which Wolter lived.
Information obtained from Katie
Miller, or Mueller, VOTERS companion,
who was arrested yesterday, was
mostly of q negative character. A fresh
trail in VOTERS case, however, was
struck by the authorities in a story told
them by young woman who confessed
to having known Wolter well. Her tale
of the many young girls who she said
had been associated with the prisoner
set the authorities looking UP the
numerous girls whose names and adj
dresses were found in VOTERS memo
randum book, to see if any Of them are
missing. The investigation Is expected
to reveal whether or not Wolter had
any active connection with white
slave" operations.
Since the latter part of January over
fifty girls between the ages of 10 and II
years have been reported missing to
the police. All but fifteen have been
accounted for.

PASTOR BEGINS CRUSADE
TO ABOLISH CEMETERIES.

NEW YORK, March 2S-A crusade
for the abolition Of cemeteries as un-s
sanitary and ugly and forbidding, has
been begun by the Rev Alexander
Irvine. of the Fifth Avenue Church Of
the Ascension. Mr.. Irvine believes
that cemeteries can be put to better
use as places of cultivation or habifa
tion than TO allow vast acres to be
used for the burial of the dead
Mr. Irvine urges that bodies ought
to be crenlated. The cemeteries- he
thinks, might be well turned over 70

Chicago, March 19-Another meet
ing was held today by Messrs. Knapp
and Neill of the government in an eff
fort to get the firemen to concede
something of their demands on the
railroads, but the general opinion is
that the prospect is gloomy. One of
the commissioners made the comment
that they would probably be back in
Washington by Monday, which is
taken to mean that they will have
succeeded in their efforts or given up
the effort by that time. 1t is known
that the negotiations have been in
progress longer now than the firemen
wished, as they have set Monday, the
twenty-first, for general walll-out 1t
is cetrain that the present conference
must be finished by that date, as it
is feared that the firemen cannot be
controlled longer than that time.

of the house was taken until noon.
The leaders on both sides are holding
conferences. The principal obstacle
to a permanent treaty is Cannon's
presence on the rules committee The

from the committee. President Taft
has taken a neutral stand, and an
