FEAR FOR INCREASE
IN HYDROPh0
ING TREATED BIN STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH.

With nine cases OF rabies under
treatment in the laboratory Of the
State board of health, and with fire.
quent reports OF dogs suspected Of
the disease, the State board Of health
anticipates a widespread prevalence
OF mad animals this summer. and
has issued q special warning on the
subject.
Since the board Of health undertook
the free treatment OF persons who had
been exposed to rabid animals and
could not procure treatment at the
regular Pasteur Institutes this aspect
OF the States public health work has
grown rapidly, until some cases are
under treatment practically all the
time.
While some of the increase In cases
treated by the State 10 attributed by
the health officers to a general I'M
derstanding that the State is doing
this work. much Of the increase in
rabies is thought to be due to the
public disregard OF repeated warn
ings. Where no precautions are ta-
ken. 1t is pointed out. there will be
gradual increase in the number of
rabid animals and a CONSEQUENT in
crease in the number Of persons Bit :
ten.
THE mere fact that rabies can be
prevented by treatment" the bulle-
tain Of the board states. should not
make the people Of the State care
less. At the very least. q bite from
a rabid animal INVOLVES the expense
Of trip to Richmond and board DUR
ng three weeks stay. All Of this
can be prevented by proper precau-
lions. The all-important thing Is to
watch for symptoms of sickness in
the dogs and to tie them up at the
very first evidence OF disease Gen.
orally. dog suffering from hydro
phobia will show signs of sickness be-
fore the acute stages Of the disease
develop; and il he is then carefully
tied where he cannot escape, he will
not be dangerous. Unless the peo-
pie are more careful, we may ex-
pect an increase In hydrophobia in

William J. Bryan used them before
he became a federal officerholder, was

The leading article consists Of an

EXAMINATION.
MUST PROVE FITNESS

WASHINGTON, May 7.--An exc
cutive order throwing open to Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike the 81
600 postmasterships of the fourth
class, which had been converted into
the civil service under orders issued
by President Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Taft, was signed by President
Wilson today. President Wilson en-
bodied in this order more stringent
rules for filing these Offices by ex-
animation or otherwise than were
provided in the regulations based
on the orders Of his predecessors In
the White House.
The order does not disturb the
twelve thousand fourth class post
masters who have been appointed
under the civil service rules.
Effect of Order.
Postmaster General Burleson, in q
statement issued tonight, declared
that the effect Of President Wilson's
order will be merely to require fourth
class postmasters who were appointed
not in accord with the civil service
regulations to demonstrate their fit-
ness for Office by competitive exam
nations. or other appropriate meth
DDS to be fixed upon. He asserted
that the Taft order il allowed to stand
would make honest civil service a
farce"
President Wilson ordered that
these offices be filled by direct APP
pointment of the postmaster general,
upon the recommendation Of postal
inspectors sent to each locality to in
vestigate and report on the qualifi-
cations of the applicants for the Of
five. The president fixed the requir~
ment that such report shall be based
solely upon the suitability of the ap-
plicant and his ability to provide
proper facilities for transachng the
business of the Office" The inspect
ors who shall make these selections
are themselves classified under the
civil service and are supposed to be
removed from political influence.
Pied for Revocation.
President Roosevelt, In November
1908, issued an order covering into
the civil service fourteen thousand
fourth class postmasters in four
Northern States. President Taft is-
sued a similar order October 18th
last which completed the classification
of all fourth class postmasters in the
postal service except those In the ter
ritories.
Ever since his election last No.

| overwhelmed with pleas for the revo-
cation or amendment Of. President

gress, who were being pushed by Of
