No EARLY TRIAL
FOR MRS. GRACE
She Must Stay in Jail, But Man
Who Slew Wife Recently
Gets Hearing.

Mrs Daisy Grace will not get a
trial in the superior court this month
on the charge of attempting to kill her
husband. Eugene H. Grace, in their
Eleventh street home on March J. but
Robert L. Clay, who is charged with
the murder of his wife on Nav IL will
be given his trial next week.
Mrs. Grace was indicted by the grand
jury before that body considered the
Clay tragedy. and was held in the coun-
ty Jail because she hadn't the ready
cash as security for her bond. she
has been detained in jail ever since
then. and fully expected her case to be
set for trial this month.
1t Is customary for Jail cases 10 b.s
taken up before bond cases. Mrs.
Grace was unable to give bond, and her
case was the same as other jail cases.
In preparing his calendar for the next
term of court Solicitor General Hugh
Dorsey left the Grace case off and
brought the Clay case tc the front.
Mrs. Grace was detained In jail while
the former grand jury held forth and
adjourned. and her case was never
brought TO its attention, while other
cases of the same nature were taken
up and disposed of and have now been
forgotten.
Clay is quietly awaiting the sppros CHI
of his trial.
Give me a cigarette are the onty
words that have passed his lips since
he was transferred to the Tower a
week ago. He refuses to answer any
questions. or to pay any attention To
callers at his cell. spending most OF his
time standing in the center of the floor
and gazing blsnkly at the prison walls.
Jail officials believe he is feigning In
sanity.
Clay IS In a cell on the fourth floor

NOTIONS OF PEOPLE
ABOUT HYDROPHOBIA
NEARLY ALL WRONG

CHICAGO. May 22.-Most Of the
popular notions about mad dogs are
called fallacies, in an article by DR.,
James Gordon Cumming. director of
the Pasteur institute of the Univer-
sity of Michigan. in The Journal of
the American Medical Association.
That rabid dogs always froth at the
mouth. that dogs develop rabies from
lack of water, that dogs are more like
ly to contract rabies in hot weather
han in cold. that dogs afflicted with
hydrophobia are afraid of water, are
some of the popular notions which Dr..
Cumming declares are all wrong
we find only in the human subject
the dread of an attempt to drink wa
ter" the physician says. "A rabid dog
will attempt to drink water even
though the act induces a spssm of the
deglutitory muscles"
A rabid dog seldom froths at the
mouth, according to DR.. Cumming.
whereas in a canine with fits there is
profuse frothing. The "dog-d day theo-
ry'' is disproved. he says, by the num-
Der of winter cases.
