PRACTICAL JOKE is
FATAL TO STUDENT

Chicago. ILL.,, March 1s.-Frederick
Pepper Is years old, died of rabies in
hospital today. the victim of a practi-
cal joke, joke which might have cost
the lives of 20 other pupils in the school
room with him, had he not risked his.
He is now called the hero of Strassburg,
Ill.
Two of Peppers schoolmates brought
8 stray white poodle dog into the school
room as q joke. Pepper noticed that the
dog was foaming at the mouth and he
pushed back a little girl as she was
about to pat the animaf. While he was
carrying the dog from the room it bit
him.
The next day the dog bit four dogs and
a horse, all of which later died of
rabies The boys parents became
alarmed and after treating him with
home remedies for several weeks brought
him to a specialist in Chicago The case
was too far developed and all that could
be done was to temporarily relieve hls

CONGRESS TO MAKE
GENERAL FIGHT TO
CUT EXPENDITURES
TO Bring Expenditures
Within Estimated Reve-
nues of the Government
at Extra Session

Washington, March 1S.-A general fight
to cut down federal expenditures and
bring them within the estimated revenues
special session of Congress as soon as the
tariff bills have been disposed of by the
House.
President Wilson's letter to Senator TILL
man made public today in which he de-
clared himself in favor of a carefully
considered and wisely. planned budget
lent new strength to the plan, now we'll
under way in Congress to bring the coun-
try's enormous expenditures under some
central control.
While President Wilson's budget ideas
have not been outlined to members OF
Congress it is not expected that the bud
get system advocated by President Taft
and prepared by the economy commits
sion will be urged as the basis of the
democratic appropriation system. This
scheme has many bitter opponents, IN
cluding the leaders of the great commit
tees which now handle appropriations,
and it is expected that efforts in Congress
will be directed along different lines.
The economy commission appointed by
the democrats of the House in Their
caucus of March 8, will not meet until
after the House has disposed of tariff
bills in the extra session. Efforts will
then be made to devise a plan for hand
ling the estimates and appropriations that
come before the regular session in De-
cember.
A sharp division exists between Chair
man Fitzgerald of the appropriations
committee, who favors giving all appro-
priation bills to that committee with au-
thority to act as general budget COM
mittee and Representative Sherley of Ken
lucky, who has proposed special budget
committee of the House to comprise the
chairmen and leading members of num-
ber of important committees. The con-
gressional advocates of various budget
plans intend to confer fully with Presl-
! dent Wilson before attempting to agree
lon any system of general control over
expenditures
