ly Is a Boy.

To which sex belongs the youthful
individual, claiming to be member
of the Boy Scouts of America, and to
be walking from Portland, Maine, to
San Francisco?
This question was asked by city Of

partment when "Clarence Stanley.

police headquarters this morning and
asked Mayor Zimmerman to give him
a letter of recommendation, to other
city officials along his walking route.
In fact Clarence" has all of the city
officials guessing as to whether he is
a boy, or a girl disguised in mans
clothing His winning smile, girllsh
face, walk and in fact his entire ap.
pearance forced them to believe he
belonged to the fair sex.
When asked by Mayor Zimmerman
if "he" really wasn't girl Clarence
blushed and changed the subject.
STANDBY was dressed in Western
outfit, wearing khaki suit with a
broad trimmed hat. He also carried
revolver in holster, which dangleo
from his belt. but which he said, he
has had no occasion to use.
Stanley said he left Portland with
two Indians, two dogs. pack horse
and two other boy scouts, but that one
by one his companions turned back
declaring his pace was too much for
them Stanley says he walks from
forty to fifty miles a day. He is car

One of the purposes of making the
trip. Stanley says, is to secure better
health He asserted that several ply
sicians had avised him to give up the
trip on account of his physical condi
ton. but he declared he would reach
Frisco or bust"

Another letter received this morn

Of Negri bodies has caused local tu-
thorities to fear renewed outbreak OF
the rabies epidemic. Supt. Simonds re-
quested DR.. King to keep him we'll
posted on the local situation, and to
ascertain, If possible, if the dog, which
was owned by Frank Gatzek, of South
Fifth street, had bitten anyone.
DR.. Ferling, in whose care the dog
was placed when it's owner first be-
lieved it showed symptoms of rabies,
declared this morning that, although
he did not look for a very serious
outbreak of the epidemic, he believes
he has noticed at least thirty other
toms as the Gatzek dog first displayed.
DR.. Ferlin9 says that it requires about
nineteen or twenty days for rabies to
develop after dog is bitten by one in
fected with the disease.
AS far as is known no one was bit
ten by the Gatzek dog.
The dog was placed in the Ferling
veterinary hospital about ten days ago,
and last Monday the animal died. The
head was sent to the state laboratories
Tuesday.
1t is not improbable the city health
officer. DIR. #. Henry Davis. will issue
another order extending the time for
keeping dogs muzzled from thirty to
sixty days, as it is believed that rab'
les may not have had enough time to
develop in some CANNES.

RECORD is NORMAL
BARRING SUICIDES
More Sudden Deaths Result
ed from Brain Diseases
than from Heart Disease,
the Report Shows.

Brain disease, suicides and railroad
accidents were the causes for the
greater number of deaths during 1911,
which were investigated by Coroner
violent deaths. including eight fatal
railroad accidents, ten sui icides. a muir
der, an electrocution, and death by
asphyxiation.
The record, so far as the number of
sudden deaths is concerned, is about
normal in comparison with other
years, but the number of deaths by
violence is greater. On the Pennsyl-
vania railroad there were six fatal ac-
cidents, while the G. & O. and the
Street Railway company claimed one
victim each. There may have been
other deaths from the direct results
of accidents on the railroads, where
the coroner's attention was not call
ed to the case. In only one or Two in
stances were the fatalities the result
of wrecks.
Were More Suicides.
suicides than in several years, ten be-
ing the total number Three citizens
took their own lives by swallowing
carbolic acid, two shot themselves,
one drowned himself, two hung them
selves, while the ninth threw himself
under train, and another died after
several days of suffering from the
drinking of formaldehyde. Another
an inmate of the Easthaven hospital
died from hemorrhage of the brain
induced by injuries sustained by jump
ing over ballestrade of a stairway al
the hospital, alighting on his head.
The only murder committed during
the year was in November, when Mike
Lapenna killed his cousin, Tony La
penna, at the fence factory as result
of a quarrel over a woman. Lapenna
is held at the county Jail and will be
tried during the winter. Three were
charged with manslaughter of Ernest
Weber, but on the acQuittal Of William
Casey, one of the trio. the state dis
missed the charges against the Other
two accused.
The only death by an electrica
shock was that of Ora Rau, in Septem

TOLEDO. O., Dec. 29.-If any one
had gained the impression that Repub-
lican State. Chairman Walter F.
Browns progressive organization had
robbed the visit of Senator Robert NJ.
La Toilette of any of its enthusiasm 1t
was dispelled last night when the
doughty Wisconsin fighter stepped up
on the platform in Memorial Hall.
The cheering of more than 5000 men
and women greeted him. and this DEM
onstration lasted for five minutes.
There were more than 1000 outside
the hall who failed to get admittance.
They stood around for half an hour
in the cold in efforts to make their
way indoors.
! In the audience which greeted Sena-
tor La Toilette last night could be
seen many of the prominent men OF
the city-prominent in business, coun-
ty and city officers, Judges of the Com
mon Pleas Courts and those who haD-
die the strings of politics.
Many Topics Discussed.
! Senator La Toilette in his speeches
at Norwalk and here told what pro-
gressive Republicanism has done for
his home state. Wisconsin: what the
Progressives would do for the coun-
try; how to control the trusts and
monopolies; how the Progressive's
movement would restore self-govern-
ment to the people. and how the tariff
should be treated to reduce the high
cost Of living.
| The speech here last night was prac-
| tically repetition of what he said at
the meeting in Cleveland last night.
with somewhat more of an elaboration
of the trust question, and the manner
in which the state of Wisconsin had
controlled railroad rate legislation.
The initiative, referendum and the re.
call is a topic the Senator is discuss
ing very fully at all the meetings. and
last night he pleaded with Ohioans to
adopt it.
The meeting of the afternoon n
Norwalk. at which the Senator stopped
on the way here from Cleveland by
trolley road, was the first at which he
took up the tariff on the Ohio trip
when conditions surrounding labor
in this and competing countries are in
perfect equilibrium We shoVd have

stood for a tariff that Will measure
the difference, where there IL . differ

Senator La Toilette said the differ

standpat and progressive Republican,
is that ''the former believe in keeping
the tariff wall as high as possible, not

JARNECKE
REFUSES To
FAVOR PLAN

j. F. Jarnecke. the owner of the land
south of the city limits. from whose
strip of land the road connecting the
Ridge road with Columbia avenue in
order to avoid four railroad crossings,
does not look with favor upn the pr
ject. He and Trustee John c. Becker
went over the ground yesterday, but
Mr.. Jarnecke seemed to be impressed
with the arguments of his neighbors
who argued for diverting some of the
traffic from the corner created by the
intersection of the Ridge road and Co
lumbia avenue Mr. Jarnecke did not
absolutely refuse to dedicate the road
but his attitude was not encouraging to
those who would like the death trap at
least partially eliminated
Should Mr.. Jarnecke refuse abso-
lutely TO open the road the only re-
course left would be a formal petition
to the county commissioners, which, If
filoWed by remonstrance. would
cause a long delay in the courts.
