TREAT 276PASTEUR
 PATIENTS IN 1911 1
Jefferson Leads With Great est Number, Montgomery
 Coming Second

Montgomery. March 4.-(SpeciaL)- Figures compiled by pr. P. B. Moss, state bacteriologist. show that during the year 1911 the Pasteur department of the state board of health treated 27s patients. Of this number 21s of the patients were white and 5S were ne- groes.
 Dr. Moss report shows that of the total number of patients treated by the institute during the year Fl of them were from Jefferson county, little more than 25 per cent of entire num- Der of patients from the whole state. Sixteen of the patients from Jefferson county were bitten by one dog, the animal being from Bessemer.
 The second largest number of pa tients from Montgomery county, and the third largest from Mobile county.
 Of the entire number of ptients treated all who finished their treatment, according to the state intercollegiate report, recovercd1. There were one or two exceptions in tn. cases of those who began the treatment too late and did not finish.
 Another interesting feature of the report is that BPS brains were sent to the department during the year for examination, of which number 20 could not be. examined on account of decom- position. Of the sos that were exam med 155 were found to be mad and 153 not mad.
 With his report to Dr. W. H. San- ders, state health officer, Dr. Moss en- closed also a diagram he had made showing the percentage of rabid dogs examined for the various months of the year. This diagram Is regarded as of particular interest in that 1t Is shown ! that the largest percentage of dogs went mad during the cold months. During the month of January S1 per cent of the brains examined were found to be mad, while during July and Au- gust the average had fallen to. 30 and 25 per cent. According to Dr. Moss this very low percentage during the summer months may have been due to the fact that several cities of the state durin 2 June, July, August and September had in effect muzzling ordinance.
 The report shows, however, that with the beginning of the cold weather the percentage increased, October showing that 76 per cent of tae brains e.nm- ined were mad, while during November ! the average had climbed to S5 per cent.

 Foxen, coming from the state of Wood row Wilson, was asked to talk about poli- tics. "The people of New Jersey" stated he, "are divided, and it Is barely possible that from that state solid and enthusi- astic delegation for Woodrow Wilson will not attend the national convention in Bal timore. However, Wilson is a great man, and he might yet succeed in pourig sooth- in goil on the troubled waters.

Well" confessed Bill Foxen, T must say in the beginning that I am not a married man, and I have not forgotten that this is leap year. That is the most of my history. Yes, of course, I had to be born. That happened in Tenahy, N. J.. in 1884. That makes me 2S years old, but I don't look 1t, do I?
 T was educated In the public schools until I grew to be a large boy and then I went to St. Peters college in Jersey City. Until I was quite a youth I was known by the cognomen of William, but the boys changed that to Bill when started baseball. My debut came in my eighteenth year, when l first pitched on the St. Peters college team. My record was a good one with that college team and Billy Murray then manager of Jersey City in the Eastern league, saw me work one day and soon afterward l became professional.
 Toward the latter part of the 1903 sea- son, I played my first game with the Jer- sey team. I warmed the bench getting

he was decidedly Irish and that he hoped to remain so. His greatest ambition is to be president and. to raise a family. At present he stated that he was not presi- dent and that he would hardly be a finan- cier, as handling his own money kept him pretty busy.
 Before he began to play professional ball he said he played football and other sports with the St. Peters college team. He is quite hefty man, standing feet 11& inches tall and weighing 1s9 pounds During the winter he entertains the vil- lage boys with his wit and story telling, although he works on Wall street In New York.
 Those that are acquainted with the big southpaw- expect him to have fine sea- son. Last season he pitched finely for the Birmingham club and succeeded in pitch ing a no-hit game. He has speed and a large assortment of curves. His latest one Is the Grizzly Bear' He claims that the "Grizly" warbles to the plate, and that he hopes to make his strikeout record with the curve.
 Bill is one of the most popular players in baseball. His witty and good natured manners have won him many friends and everyone has a good word for him.

DEFENSE ACTIVE IN
 BATH TUB TRUST SUIT

Detroit March 1.-The great bulk of the testimony offered at the trial of the so-called bath tub trust today was given by witnesses for the de- fense in an effort to prove that the Arrott dredger for sitting enamel on bath tubs had practically revolution tzed that branch of the industry.
 The government contends that the patents on the dredger, held by Ed win |. Weyman, who drew up the trade agreements, made 1t possible. to a cer- tain extent. for the defendants to oper- ate as a trust" and stifle competition.
 The defense contends the invention enabled the manufacturers to turn ou, much better goods than were made before the trade agreements were con- sunlnated,

 Seated on the bleachers were ". b. Smith, one of the directors of the asso- citation, and one of the biggest fans in Birmingham; Roy Kay, Samuel Oliver, Captain Bussey and several others of the dyed in the wool who consider the ex- ertion of ball players as the motive power of the universe.
 The players will be seen at Redwood from this date henceforth to the end. The season has practically opened, and yes- terday was the first day of spring.
