ROCKVILLE CENTER
HAS BURGLAR HUNT
Unable to Catch Him, Orders
Go Out Establishing Mid
night Curfew.

An exciting time was had by every
body in Rockville Center. L. l.. Wednes-
day night, when almost the whole
town turned out with rifles and re-
volvers and clubs and bricks to catch
q burglar. They did not catch him,
but having to get out of bed made tlse
town officials so angry that they rose
earlier than usual yesterday and pro-
mulgated a new set of rules for the
conduct of persons who live in or pass
through the village.
Edwin NJ. Wallace. who besides being
a New York lawyer is president of the
village board and chief of the village
police, announced that thereafter every
BODY found on the streets as late as
midnight would be forced to give an ac-
count of himself or herself. This does
not except the motor car spooners. who
frequently visit Rockville Centre, park
their automobiles turn out the lights
and succeed in frightening every one
who comes near.
Automobiles found on the highway
after midnight will be subject to in
spection." said Attorney. President and
Chief Wallace. land il the occupants

themselves they will be dealt with ac-

to halt the police will not be held re-
sponsible for the consequences. If it is
found impossible to stop these robberies
any other way we will reorganize the
vigilantes we had here some years ago."
The attempt at burglary Wednesday
night was the sixth in ten days, and
Rockville Centre is getting very. very
tired of It. Wednesday night Mrs. A.
OCallaghan Of 81 Raymond street saw
a man trying to enter her cellar shortly
after midnight. She opened the window
and screamed. breaking up a bridge
party next door, and soon bringing Mr..
Wallace with repeating rifle, Village

DOG THAT BIT 1S
DECLARED RABID
Health Department Analysis
Shows Presence Of Malady
in Coney Island Animal.

The fox terrier which ran wild for
fifteen hours last Sunday night and
Monday morning in Coney Island and
Bath Beach and bit eighteen persons
was found to have rabies by specialists
OF the Health Department, who COM
pleted their examination Of the animals
brain late Wednesday. Health inspec-
tors, however, had previously notified
all OF the victims of the dog to report
10 the Board Of Health in Brooklyn. in
Flatbush Avenue Extension, for treat
ment
Five Of the persons bitten told THE
NEW YORK HERALD last night that they
were notified by the Health Department
Tuesday morning to repor. at once to
the department and receive the Pasteur
treatment and that they saw others
there who told them they had been noti-
fled on Monday. only few hours after
the dog had been killed by a policeman.
The Health Department said that al
though the victims could not have been
told that the animal had rabies because
this was not determined until it's brain
had been analyzed, Pasteur treatment
was begun at once as precauttion.
DR.. Isidore Hirsch of 1914 Mermaid
avenue, Coney Island, who had been
treating three of the dogs victims. said
last night that the Health Department
notified him latc Wednesday Of the find
ings of the specialists who analyzed the
brain Of the cog and that he at once
sent word to his patients to go to the
departments offices for the Pasteur
treatment. One person was found by
THE NEW YORK HERALD last night who
had not reported at the Health Depart
ment. He said he had been notified
twice by inspectors OF the department
but had neglected reporting. When he
was told that the dog had been found TO
have rabies he said there was no doubt
that he would report for treatment to-
day.
The eighteen bitten by the terrier are
probably the largest number OF victims
one mad dog has had in New York In
many years. The animal was first
heard of in Mermaid avenue. Coney ISL
and, about midnight last Sunday. He
BIT nine persons there, and then van
ished for a time, next being heard Of in
Bath Beach. where he bit others. The
animal seems tc have ranged. during
its fifteen hours of activity. from Sea
Gate to Avenue Y. 1t was finally killed
at o'clock Monday morning by PATROL
man Vincent DAILY of the Coney Island
station. He came upon the animal as
It was attacking Mrs. Lena Meyers and
killed IL when 1t turned upon him.
The first reports Of the police and the
Health Department gave the number bit
ten as fifteen, but three others were
found by the police and Health Depart
ment Monday afternoon. At the Health
Department yesterday 1t was said that
none OF the persons receiving treatment
was In any danger.

WILLARD STRAIGHT
POST SPLITS LEGION
County Committee to Ask for
Suspension Of That Branch's
Charter.

The first pronounced split in the
at o'clock yesterday morning at the
close of a heated meeting OF the New
York county committee of the legion
at the Hotel Plaza with the adoption by
a 3 to 1 vote Of resolutions asking the
legion national headquarters to suspend
the charter Of Willard Straight Post.
The inspiration for this action was the
disapprovai given by Willard Straight
post a month ago to the veterans pref
erence bill. The county committee al
ready had indorsed the bill, and the pre-
vailing attitude at the Hotel Plaza meet
ing was that the Endorsement given by
the county committee deprived individual
posts from making declarations Of opin-
ions.
Among the members of Willard
Straight Post arc Walter Lippman, OF
the Neio Republic; Ernest Angel, an at
torney; Prof. Carleton Hayes Of Colum-
bia University. Clinton ID. Winant. an
attorney; Oswald Knauth, formerly a
professor at Princeton University, and
Mark Wiseman, writer.
Chauncey Belknap. an attorney with
offices In the Woolworth Building, and
member of the post. said that the
county committee expressed some dis
pleasure last spring against action of the
post in endeavoring to obtain the adop-
ton Of resolutions favoring free speech.
A statement issued yesterday by the
post declared that Major-Gen. John r.
Organ. Col. Charles w. Whittlesey and
others have declared opposition to the
veterans preference bill.
The Civic Club Post Of the American
Legion at a meeting last night declared
opposition to the veterans preference
bill, declaring it ''strikes at the heart
of the civil service law"
