GARFIELD KILLED
AT 9Th ST. STATION
FORTY YEARS AGO
Veteran Government Worker
Recalls Incidents of Attack
on President by Citeau.

Forty years ago. this morning, at
$50 o'clock. President Gsrfield was
shot at the entrance of the old
Sixth street railroad station.
From a veteran worker of the
Government Printing Office. who
was employed at the Union Station
as a news butcher on that fatal
morning, comes a vivid picture of
the tragedy as he himself witnessed
It.
Had some strange whim of fate
only caused him 10 look at the
bundle OF closely-written pages left
at the news stand by the murderer,
Girteau, just before Garfield arrived
at the station. this man might have
averted the untimely death of the
chief executive. On these pages
Girteau had written the reasons for
his intended act.
AS Garfeld passed through the en-
trance to the station, Giteau, hidden
behind a storm door. fired at the Pres
ident. Mrs. Sarah White, waiting
room attendant near the doorway.
caught the President as he fell. He
was Immediately moved to the office
OF John K sharp, then superintend-
ent of the Terminal, and shortly af-
terward taken to the White House.
In the first confusion following the
shooting detectives believed there had
existed a conspiracy involving sew
eral OF the employees at the station.
With q rush several employees who
lived In thee station building were
searched, but Giteau's arrest by Po-
liceman Pat Kearney and Robert A.
Psrlte. ticket agent, soon made It
clear that the radical was the only
one involved.

MAJ. PINTER. VETERAN
OF cONFEDERAcY, DEAD

LURAY, Va, July 2.--Major c. w.
Pinter, in Che eighty-nfth year OF his
age, one of the best known ex-Con-
federate soldiers in the Valley of viz
sinia. died yesterday at his home
near Fairview, this county. three
miles east OF Luray. He had been In
failing health for the past several
years and his death was primarily due
to infirrnities incident to age. In his
former days he was well-known
carpe enter and builder and many OF
the houses in Page county are OF his
planning and construction. 20 ardent
Southern man was he that the title
Major" attached to him before tho
beginning of the hostilitics, at that
time what was known as Muster
Days" eiicitins his sympathies In be-
half Of the South. The activities of
the Muster Days In Page county
a few years before the beginning OF
the civil war are said to have been
largely due to the perseverance, OF
Major Pinter. who at that time was
trying TO put in training the men Of
this county for the war he was sure
would follow In short time.

TOM WATSON CAN'T
FORGET THAT TAFT
DESERTED TEDDY
Cites Other Grievances to Show
Why He Voted Against New
Chief Justice.

Showing that he has a long ana
.unforGiving memory, Senator Thomas
y. Watson, of Georgia the only
Democrat TO vote against the con-
f1rmation of william Howard Taft as
Chief Justice OF the United States,
yestsrday told why he felt impelied TO
join Senators Borah, johnson and La
Folistts In voting in opposition. Count
ing the half dozen objections to Taft
or on his fingsrs. Senator Watson said
he opposed him for the following
principal reasonh:
Because he was the pioneer inJunc-
ital rather than labor.
because he has held appointive Of
noe all his life, the only exception
being when Theodors Roosevelt
brought about his election as Prssi-
dent as Progressive.
because after election as President
he went back on Theodore Roosevelt.
Joined the standpattsrs and gave q
most reactionary administration
SPONSORED DICK BALLINGER.
because he spon sored the notorious
Dick Ballinger'' as Secretary Of the
Interior and Bailinger almost gave
Alaskan resources to the Gugsenheims
and delivered the national power sites
to J. p. Morgan a Co., being stopped
only by clifford Pinchot, Mr.. Lawlor
and Louis ID. Brandeis.
"Because he named Edward Doug
lass White as Chief Justice when he
should have appointed Justice Harlan.
OF Kentucky. as the head OF the
court"
Even the writings OF Tart since
he left tho Presidency have not ss-
capped the wAtchfui Watsonian eye,
and the Georgian ''bawls out" Taft
strike and said one man might quit
work. but where two or more got
together and resolved to quft IL was
q Conspiracy" Nor does Senator
Watson like the article written BY
william Howard Taft on the Tulsa
race riots, oontending that Taft
placed too much blame on the
whites.
BLAMED roR ANoTHER's ACTS.
Senator Watson also said he dis
approved Of Taft because Mr.. Wick
rrshAm, his Attorney and a
law partner of the then Presidents :
brother. Henry W. Taft. had a part
In the transaction which turned the
Philippine sugar lands over to the
Sugar trust"
Perhaps there were other reasons
why Mr.. Watson voted against the
Chief Justices confirmation, but he
recalled the above without a mo-
menrs hesitation-GoinE back years
ago to the time Taft was a Federal
Judge In Ohio and working up
through the Roosevelt era to the
present.
Senator La Toilette Is understood
TO have voted against confirmation
because he disliked certain Of Taft's
decisions regarding labor. while Sem
ators Borah and johnson. one-time
Bull Moosers. are believed to have
remembered the battle of 1sl2.

picious and uneasy, and In rev
minutes he is again wandering from
place to place.
The next sign of hydrophobia II
that tina animal has slight and tenn
porary attacks OF haIlucination. He
thinks he hears a sound or sees an
object which does not exist. This
condition Is fully recognized by vet
Urinary experts, although its signs
are often overlooked by others. The
dog suddenly pricks up his ears and
runs TO q particular spot as IL he
heard noise on the other side of q
door or partition Sometimes he will
snap at the empty air. as II he were
catching a fly. The signs are ex-
ceedingiy important, and should re-
double the vigilance Of those having
charge of the animal. who should
from this moment be kept in a posi-
tlon TO prevent him doing injury. All
this time the animal may show no
disposition to bite.
NO HORROR or WATER.
A rabid dog often varies In this
tendency according TO his individual
character. The evidences of all the
best Observers shows that a dog.
naturally good-tempersd and mild In
disposition. will sometimes refrain
from biting until very late In the
disease. Furthermore, the same deg
win often show no tendency to. bite
his master. for whom he still retains
his natural affection. but may at any
time be easily provoked by q
stranger. THIS circumstances forms
one OF the most insidious sources OF
danger In the case sof a rabid dog not
yet known 20 be such.
The Nrabid dog has no horror OF
water, and he does not refuse to
drink. On the contrary. he drinks
frequently, and no single error In
regard TO the disease ts more un-
fortunate than which is generally
stated that the rabid dog has q
horror OF water and will not drink.
Also the rabid dog does not at first
refuse his natural food. but soon
ceases to take II with mis- accustomed
relish. An important sign is an un-
natural or depraved appetite. The
animal gnaws and even swallows all
kinds OF indigestible substances.
Pieces of wood. bits of stone, furni-
ture, clothing. the sturnuss of cush-
ions, leather. are torn and swalIo " cd.
This Is always very suspicious cir
cumstance.
Some dogs are naturally mischiev-
Gus IN TINS respect, but even they
only injure or destroy these sub
stances, but they do not swallow
them. Anothes danger sign is the
rsbid bark of the animal. The
natural voice Of the animal In altered
and instead. ot the usual succession
OF explosive sounds, Il Is hoarse.
veiled, lower ir tone, and begins with
single open bark. followed i'm
mediately by three or four diminish
ing howls from the bottom of the
throat Another very charact erIstic
and important fact Is that the sight
of another dog drives him into an ex-
cess OF sudden and immeasurable
fury, followed by an immediate and
aggressive attack. He. is then at the
heighth OF his disease, and begins 10
snap at any animal or person that
crosses HIS path.
Rabies Is one OF the most easily
eradicated of all infectious diseases" |"
according TO DR.. George II. Hart. OF
the Pathological Division Of the De-
psrtmekt of ARriouiture "The factor
of success In the eradication of this
disease can De summed up in three
words" he said, "and they are:

animal industry, Department of
Agriculture, who says:
"The striking results obtained by
England have caused many persons
20 propose and advocate national
dog muzzling law for the United
States, enforced by the Department
Of Agriculture. These suggestions,
however. do not take into considera-
tion the discrimination between the
functions OF the Federal and State
governments and the differences be-.
tween the laws OF the United states
and those of England. The power
conferred is not In all cases sufficient
to effect the eradication of a disease,
for the reason that the Federal gov
srnment can no enforce measures
within a State without the legislative
consent of the State unless the ami
mails affected are subjects of or en-
danger, Interstate commerce.
Its work. therefore, without the
cooperation of the States affected, Is
limited to interstate traffic. and
quarantine lines are thus made to
follow State lines. The department
Is always willing 20 cooperate, so
far as possible, with any State which
requests assistance In Graduating an
infectious disease. But such State
must necessarily have the proper
laws by which the control OF the
disease Is made possible. When a
disease such as rabies Is confined
within State II does not come under
the Jurisdiction OF the Federal gov
ernment and can not be treated as
the infectious diseases pleuro-pneu-
monia and foot-and-mouth disease,
which spread from State to State
and eeooms serious menace to

"The Department OF Agriculture
could quarantine against States where
the rabies exists, but IL can readily
be seen that owing TO the great free

would be impracticable to enforce
such a quarantine further than to re-
auire all dogs to be murxled which
are being transported Interstate by
common carriers. Such a requirement
would give an inflnitesimal amount
