DOGS FATE IN BALANCE
Health Commissioner to Confer
with S. P. c. A. To-day.
RABIES ON THE INCREASE
Lederle to Resort to Shooting II
It Is Shown Mongrels
Menace the People.

Health Commissioner rederle will have
, conference to-day with William X. Hor-
ton. general manager Of the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty 10 Animals re-
gsrdIng the prevalence Of stray dogs In
the streets Of the city and 70 see IL the
society has the situation In hand. II not.
then tine question will be what must be
done to protect pedestrians from homeless
mongrels, complaints about which have
come TO the Department Of Health in large
numbers Of late
In the absence Of Mr.. Horton last week
the conference had 10 be postponed.
Thomas F. Free superintendent Of the So
oiety, said yesterday there was no reason
- believe thsre were more stray dogs
about the streets than year ago. In
cact, Mr. Freel declared IL was not posi-
bic there we're as many because Of the
vigilance Of the dog catchers. who were
out every day.
But whatever the contentious OF the So
ciety. Health Department statistics show
that while there were ssventysix dogs
which were afflicted with rabies last year.
this year, only half gone, shows the marked
increase Of ia. There have been four
deaths II human beings from the dread
disease since the first OF the year. These
have been scattered about among the Dor
oughs. Brooklyn having two. Manhattan
one and Queens one. In the whole OF Eng
lard and Wales. according to department
statistics. only two deaths from rabies
have occurred in the last ten years. And
England. because Of its remarkable super
vision Of dogs, is held up by department
officials as an example.
Mr. Freel said yesterday that 50 600 ami
mails had been removed from the streets OF
the city in May. % per cent Of which were
dogs. The average daily collection during
the month was 1915 and four dog ambu-
lances were constantly AT work IN Brook
lyn and four in Manhattan.
ION the 5th Of this month said Mr..
Freel. we will have two more ambulances
70 press into service, for they are nearing
construction"
According 10 the superintendent. every
dog that chances 10 become overheated.
either because II has a can tied 10 its tail
or is trying to outrun a streetcar. is looked
upon as rabd dog.
1T is the general tendency" said Mr..
Freel Ito ascribe madness 70 a dog when
his tongue hangs ont and he appears ner-
vous. Believing the animal 10 be suffering
from rabies. the populace armed with
pitchforks and bludgeons, descends on the
poor creature. II is an old story"

was shown that stray dogs had become A

A few days ago the boy watched the

seven rodents Of all sizes and ages In
three DAYS. and on Saturday big fellow
stole bait, hook. sinker, line and all.
Harrison pla large piece OF Inn
burger cheese near the rat hole that
night and waited with a club. The an

the lad with the club. Not rat was
seen I'm the City Hall yesterday.
The youngster was taken TO the Col

terday. Captain Edward ]. Timmons
gave him little gold watch. He was
sorry to 60 away. and the reserve squad
