LAND LEGISLATION
IS BLOCKADED
BY J. A. BR ECKoNs.

Especial Correspondence OF The STAR
WASHINGTON, January 23.-Pre-
dictions made in these dispatches at
the opening of the Sixty-second Con
gress, to the effect that very little if
any public land legislation could be
expected from the house committee
on account of its makeup, are being
more than verified in the light of
present conditions. Thus far the
house public lands committee has had
no important meeting, and indications
are that none will be held. The chair
man of the house committee, Hon.
John Robinson, has been absent from
Washington practically all of the pres.
ent congress, conducting his campaign
for the governorship of Arkansas. The
next ranking democratic member, who
is entitled to preside over the house
committee in the absence of the chair,
man, is James p. Graham Of Illinois
Mr.. Graham has been so busy as chair
man of the committee on expenditures
in the interior department that he haI
had no time for meetings of the public
lands committee He is now in Min
nesota for an indefinite stay, conduct
ing an investigation concerning the
White Earth Indian lands Henry
George, another member of the public
lands committee, is with him. The
next ranking democratic member o.
this committee is Scott Ferris, who
is now in Oklahoma looking after his
political primaries and trying to ti'
up his political fences Taylor o
Colorado is the next ranking demo
cratic member, but he has found it i'm
possible thus far to secure a quorum
for committee meeting. Western
states will come in for very scant con
sideration in the matter of importan
land legislation desired at this SEES
sion. The inaction of the house com
mittee, which must pass on all bills
before they can be brought before
congress, effecually puts a damper OF
the hopes of those who seek TO enac
needed laws relative to the public
lands.

WOMAN LEADS

LAWRENCE, Mass, January %
A San Francisco woman, Miss Lena
Morrow Lewis, national organizer Of
the Socialists with headquarters in

of socialism on the strikers, calling on
them to remain steadfast in their de-

ings of the strikers in halls and on
the streets. Most of the strikers are
either Socialists or socialistic in their
Isympathies, and many are actually
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World, which is nominally father
ing the strike.
Miss Lewis uttered one striking sen

troops of cavalry to proceed to Law

order during the mill strike.

SUPPOSED RABIES
IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, January 3d.
Two cases of supposedly mad dogs, re-
ported yesterday at the local pound
and acted upon summarily by the
poundmaster in the chloroforming OF
the CANNES, has caused State Veter-
marian c. Keane at Sacramento to
order an investigation to determine
whether rabies existed both cases
having been called to his attention.
The heads of the two animals will be
sent to the state laboratory at the
University of California at Berkeley,
where a careful examination of the
brains will be made.
The first case came to the attention
of the authorities when Policeman
Michael Brady caught a fox terrier
belonging to A. Fugone of 739 Filbert
street thtat had run rampant through
house at S5S Filbert street and bit
ten Maria Pisciotto, twelve years old,
on the foot as she was trying to pro
tect her baby sister from the beast s
attack. The dog was promptly killed
at the pound and the girl was treated
at the harbor emergency hospital
where the surgeons assured her that
there was no danger of serious conse
quences.
A few hours previously another dog
running wildly through the streets
twas cornered under the house of An.
tonic Lavoletti at 62S Filbert street,
and disposed of by the officials. An
order was issued by the poundmasteY
to his deputies instructing them to
keep careful watch for stray dogs.
