MAD DOG BITES THREE.
Nhite Boy and Two COlored Girls
Bitten Thursday-E. l. Reardon
Sent to Investigate.

Three children were bitten on Man
ming Avenue Thursday by dog which
to all appearances, and judged by its
actions, was suffering from hydro
phobia, or rabies
The dog had been acting in an ag-
9ressive manner for a couple Of davs.
biting chickens and swapping at indi-
viduals. Thursday, the animal foam
ing at the mouth, suddenly ran
amuck, and before anything could be
done jumped on and bit Robert John
son, a white lad of ten years, and
Bertha Kingrand and Ola Wilder.
two colored girls, aged 10 and II
years, respectively.
The dog was killed Immediately af-
ter it had bitten the children, and was
buried.
Mrs. j. II. Johnson, the mother Of
Robert Johnson, sent word into the
city about the dog and the biting of
the children. Assistant Health officer
j. II. Forbes, reported the matter to
County Physician DR.. P. J. O'Neal
through Mr.. T.. j. Reardon. AS the
unfortunate Occurance happened at
or near the old Tourney Place" just
outside of the city limits, the city
health and police authorities did not
feel that they had any authority to
| take any steps in the matter.
DR.. O'Neal ordered Mr.. +. /. Rear
don, who is acting as county health
officer, to take whatever steps he con-
sidered necessary. Mr.. Reardon went
out and had the dog dug up, its head
cut off and shipped to the South Caro-
lima State Bacteriologist, DR.. F.. A.
Coward, for examination Thursday
night,
Mr.. Reardon was informed that the
mother Of the dog which bit the chill
dren had died two weeks ago Of
rabies. Robert Johnson was bitten
on the leg and the dogs teeth pune
tured the skin sufficiently to produce
bleeding. Bertha Kingrand was bit
ten on the hand and there was q slight
abrasion Of the flesh, but probably
sufficient, in Mr.. Reardons opinion,
to endanger the child's life by inocu-
lation with the rabies bacilli, provided.
OF course, that the dog had rabies.
Ola Wilder, the other child bitten
was not seen by the county officer.
| In the meantime If the examination
Of the dogs head proves that the ami
NAL had rabies there is ample time to
begin the treatment of those bitten.

Divergent Views Regarding Right OF
United States I'm Relation to Pana-
ma Canal Tolls Expressed at Meet
ing of American Society of Interna-
uOnal Law.

Washington, April 25.-Divergent
views regarding the right Of the
United States to exempt it's coastwise
vessels from the payment of Panama
Canal tolls were expressed today in
meeting of the American Society of
papers read before the seventh annual
International Law. Most of the prin-
cipal speakers agreed, however with
Richard Olney, former Secretary Of
State, who held this country was en-
tirely within its rights, as the owner
of the canal, to make whatever rules
II desired regarding the canal.
Equally divergent views were ex-
pressed as to whether the payment by
the Government Of n subsidy equal ia
the amount Of tolls to American ships
would be violation Of existing treat
ties The right to grant subsidies
when not expressly prohibited by
treaty, was not cOntrOverted.
In the discussion that followed many
OF the eXtemporaneOus speakers Op.
posed the idea that the United States
had a right to exempt it's vessels
from tolls and cOntended such an act
would be contrary to all existing
treaties and would bring dishonor up
on the country.
In his address, which was read be-
cause Of his inability to attend the
meeting. Mr.. Olney declared that the
"all nations" clause Of the Hay.
PauEcefote treaty meant only the
customers" of the canal, and that
since nation could not be both Gus
TONER and owner the United State.
was not supposed to be included il
the words 'all nations" He express
ed himself as opposed to referring OF
the matter to The Hague because al
nations We're interested in the out.
come, but advocated an Independent
arbitration tribunal.
This view was opposed by Ham
mOnd Kennedy, of Washington, who
maintained that existing treatie:
must be kept and only changed with
the mutual consent Of the high con.
tracing parties"
Great Britain, he said, would pay
nearly One-half Of the total revenue
OF the canal and therefore had tn,
right to be consulted, especially il
view OF treaty obligations
