A RABID DOG
Two Girls, Sisters, Severely Bitten
at Their Home Near Oil City.

Two girls, Nolia May Reed aged II
years, and Mollie Reed aged 9 years
were bitten yesterday at 80 fore
noon at the home at Caddo City
which is about one mile from Oil
City, by rabid dog.
II is not known from whence the
dog came nor if it bit any person or
animal before reaching the Reed
home. The two girls were attacked
savagely by the brute. Nolia has
thirteen bites on her body, while
Mollie's left ear was partly torn and
she has several bites on the neck
and an arm lacerated from the ell
bow to the shoulders. When res
cued from the dog their garments
were in shreds.
The Reeds are poor The father
is an oil rig builder and wage
Garner. His wife is with the two
girls. Besides these two there are
seven other children in the family,
The dog, after biting these two
girls, resumed his run but was pur-
sued and killed The dogs head was
severed from the body and will be
taken to New Orleans for examina-
ton
The two children and their par
ents will leave on this evenings
train. They will take the daughters
to the Pasteur Institute for treat
ment.
At Caddo and at Oil City the Reeds
were helped with contributions of
money which enabled them to reach
Shreveport today.
On their reporting to the sheriff s
office subscription was started, the
amounts subscribed being as fol-
lows: J. p. Flournoy So, r. l.. String
fellow 81, H. Bodenheimer 81, w. A
Mabry 81, F. A. Leonard 81, Mrs. S.

H. Hawkins 81, H. H. Balm 81, S. S
Vessel 81, S. P. Harrel 81, H. G.
Metcalf 81, cash soc, cash 81.
As these unfortunates are in need
of money, subscriptions from SYM
pathizers will be received at the
sheriff's Office and will be duly ack-
nowledged. This is indeed an ap-
portunity to manifest that charity
which is much needed.

MIR. TAFT is DISCOURAGED
His Trip Across the Continent Wa.
a Revelation.

The New Orleans States says: 1t is
known that the Presidents trip
across the continent has not only
disappointed but discouraged him.
and he is about TO give up the fight
for recollection before it is begun.
The crisis in the Republican
party, to which he sadly referred in
his speech TO the members of the
Chicago club, was brought about by
the tariff failure of 1909 and the
clumsy fashion of handling the
trust problem. hence a great many
people agree with Mr. Taft that
there is grave doubt as to whether
his party will be continued in the
guidance of the Nation.
But there is more than one way
of meeting a crisis" says the New
York Journal of Commerce. "A cri-
sis is a turning point, and the turn
is not necessarily to disaster or fail
ure. IT implies a change of course,
and it may be in the right direction.
It is peculiarly time for leader
and for guidance.
Doubtless this is said to cheer up
the President, who does not possess
the genius of political leadership
Ibut seems to founder from one
blunder into another But the main
fact is that what set the President S
party on the road to the crisis thai
worries him was its failure to full
lfill the pledges of 1908 in the revis-
ion of the tariff. The people We're
grossly betrayed, and they are de-
ltermined to carry their resentmenI
| to the polls next year, fact which
President Taft is candid enough tt
lrealize.

Roland Williamson, who has al
ready announced his candidacy for
judge of the City Court, has plat
form. It is brief NUT substantial:
Il am not a candidate of any fac
lion, nor have | any political pull.
Il believe that the judiciary
should be entirely free from the in
fluence of politics.
Il believe that laws were made to
apply alike to The rich man and the
poor man.
Il believe that there should be no
privileged classes before our courts.
Il believe that common sense
should be applied i'll deciding eases,
and thai the will of The people
should. d.not be defeated by hedging
laws about with technicalities.
Il believe that, since our law does
not permit the recall of judges, any
attempt on the part of a judge to
misuse his office TO advance his OF
his relatives financial or politica
interests should be quickly resented
and that he should be impeached.

Ieqe Park-CentraI Will
Win by Big Margin.

This afternoon at 2:3O o'clock the local
high school track teams will journey out
to College Park to take part In the annual
inter-high school meet. The authorities
accepted the invitation OF the Maryland
Agricultural College to hold the meet on
the Farmers field. and it will take place
there instead of at Georgetown. as has
been the custom before. The local runners
were SO well pleased with the conditions
which prevailed at the suburban institu-
ton in the meet which was given by the
Farmers themselves that they were glad
to get the chance to compete there again.
There is no doubt but that Central will
have q runaway as far as the point
trophy is concerned, the Blue and White
runners showing their superiority over
any Of the teams which represent the
other schools. Tech Is about the only
other school which stands a chance to
win points. and with that school the
tallies will be decidedly scarce.
Thrall Of Tech can win the quarter IL
he runs In that event exclusively, and
even though he competes in the hundred
and twO-twenty against Reuter- of Gen.
tral. he should still have q good chance
to win II. The Tech captain should e able
to score second In the century and eighth
mile distances. and also second or first
in the quarter.
In all the other events Centrall will
score heavily. 1t being suspected that the
Blue and White will score almost every
point in the majority OF the others.

ATE[L MAY HAVE
TO QUIT FIGHTING
featherweight Champions In
jury More Serious Than
Was Believed.

Special dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Abe Attelrs
fighting days are said to be over. The
remarkable featherweight champion Of
America has been compelled to cancel his
bout with K. o. Brown at the National
Sporting Club next week because Of an
other injury to his left shoulder. While
boxing in private with Jack Goodman at
Johnson's roadhouse Thursday afternoon
AttelIs left arm suddenly snapped above
the elbow and hung limp at his side.
'It's all up with me. Jacl!" cried Attell.
''The same old trouble has come back and
I can't go on with the Brown bout" So
Attell sent word to Tom O'Rourke to call
the match of. Last winter Attell broke
his left arm near the shoulder in a rough
bout with Tommy Kilbane In Cleveland.
His physician told him that he couldn't
box for six months, but when half that
period had expired Attell took on frankie
Burns. Again he injured the arm and
was compelled to box the last four or Ave
rounds with his right hand exclusively
He went back to the shelf after that at
fair. and his physician ordered him to
remain out Of the ring for a year. Attell
went into vaudeville with a monologue
stunt and thrived for several weeks. But
with the approach Of summer he was
tempted to return to the boxing game. az
the National Sporting Club offered him q
big guarantee to put the gloves on with
Brown. Attell saw Brown beat Tommy
Murphy last week and promptly declared
that he could defeat K. o. with little
or no trouble. Then he began active
training, and had made encouraging prog
ress when. for the third time, his valu-
able left was rendered useless.
Attel said yesterday that he would not
be able to resume work until next fall.
but expert trainers and handlers OF pugi-
lists declared that the little champion
one of the greatest boxers the world has
ever seen-had reached the end. OF his
career. Attell had planned to visit Eng
land after the Brown bout to box Jem
DriscOll for the worlds title, but this
will be impossible. Meanwhile, Joe Cos
ter of Brooklyn, who resembles Attell in
style and fighting ability, has laid claim
to the American featherweight title. Cos
ter recently made a show of frankie
Conley in q twenty-round bout at New
Orleans. and when he arrived here with
day, he challenged Attell. With the lat
ter apparently out Of the game for good
Coster is generally recognized as the
leading American featherweight and he
stands ready to meet all comers. II Dris-
coll will agree to box CoSter will cross

his class to meet K. o. Brown or some

MISS SUTTON PLAYS
NOTEWORTHY TENNIS
Captures Match in Singles
Women's Doubles and Mixed
Doubles at Haverford.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-Miss Flor
ence Sutton Of Los Angeles. Cal, claimed
another victim In the womens singles
tennis championship of Pennsylvania and
eastern states at the Merton Cricket Club,
Haverford. yesterday. Her opponent was
Miss Dorothy Disston of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club. but the westerner demon
strated that our eastern girls are much
behind their western sisters in point OF
ability as tennis players. Miss Sutton
won in straight sets. 6-3. 6-1. and. al
though she played a strong winning
game, every credit must be given to
Miss Disston for her plucky game.
Although being outplayed In the first
set. she was by no means outclassed,
and, in fact. she did better than any Of
Miss Sutton's previous opponents. mas
much as she won three games. In the
second set Miss Sutton's accurate placing
and wonderful steadiness proved too
much for her opponent, who won only
one game in the set. Today Miss Sutton
will meet Mrs. Raymond. formerly Miss
Louise Hammond, the titleholder in the
challenge round and, though Miss SUIT
ton will probably win. the match should
be decidedly interesting.
AS soon as Miss Sutton had finished
her singles match she was called upon
to play in the Anal round OF the dou-
bles In partnership with Miss Dorothy
Green against the sisters, May and Isa-
bel Sayres. In the first set the sisters
were outplayed at all points. and were
unable to win a single game. but in the
second set they showed a vast improve
ment. and at one time they held lead
OF four games to two, with the score
40 loHe in their favor in the seventh
game They threw this game away, and
by losing 1t their chances Of winning
the set were extinguished, as Miss SUIT
ton and Miss Green won the next three
games and took the set, 6-.
In the semi-final round Of the mixed
doubles Miss Sutton and Wallace F..
Johnson had all their work cut out to
defeat Miss Dorothy Green and R. ].
