GIVE DOGS A CHANCE
Police Ordered Not to Kill Animals Be
lieyed To Have Hydrophobis.

Dogs suspected of being afflicted with
hydrophobia will not be killed by the
police.
This decision was reached by Police
Chief Van Ripper pursuant to a request
from DR.. L. l.. Shropshire, city health
officer. The latter declares it is
serious mistake to kill an animal on
the assumption that it is suffering from
rabies. This action, he says, often
makes it impossible to determine
whether or not a dog is afflicted with
the disease.
There is no danger in delaying for
a time the treatment of a person bit
ten by n dog, even though the animal
may be afflicted with hydrophobia, says
the health officer.
at is because Of reports recently
reaching this department OF rsbid dogs
that l make this request" DIR. Shrop-
shire wrote in his communication to
Chief Van Ripper. IF you will instruct
your men that when dog bites an
individual. under no circumstances,
should the dog be killed. unless it is
impossible to confine the animal.
The health officer explains that in a
case where n dog attacks and bites a
person. Immediately after having de-
veloped hydrophobia and is then Killed,
it is difficult to make an examination
and the true condition may not be re-
vealed. On the other hand, he states,
a dog that has developed hydrophobia
cannot 1.-Two more than five or six days.
Should dog, after biting an individual,
die because of the rabies week later,
the communication adds, il is not then
too late for the wounded person TO
be safely treated to prevent the devel-
opment of hydrophobia.

RY STIrART p WEST

Copyright, 1923, by The San Antonio Light
New York, Feb. 6.-Trading on the
stock exchange reached the largest pro-
portion of the year. The extent of the
increase in activity was indicated be-
cause at one time the recording instru-
ment was nearly twenty minutes behind
the actual market.
There was no doubt whatever that
public interest was ON the increase anu
that nOn-prOfessionsl buying was play
ing larger part tnan at any time TINS
season. Heavy realizing sales were en-
cOuntered as prices moved forward, but
these We're offset by the bringing up OF
new leadrs.
The most consistent buying occurred
in the sugar group especially in Cuba
Cane preferred and Cuban-American.
There was no trade news TO account
for this. 1t was simply the confident
feeling that prices are on an upgrade
and tnat the advance will become more
pronounced at the close of the Cuban
grinding season.
Steel common, Baldwin Locomotive
and Studebaker moved forward another
punt ia lut lllsl lVuls Dul cNDStNutHI-
iy their advance was checked by profit
taking. Pool operations went on &C
lively in Crucible steel on talk of n
resumption of dividends later in the
year.
New highs were made in a number
of specialtieS, among them American
Can, Mack Trucks, MathiesOn Alkali
and Corn Products. Some large blocks
of Colorado Fuel had to be taken az
26, then the price promptly jumped TO
-.
Tobacco stoks were helped by the
statement made on Monday that earn
ings were the best in history of most
of these companies The improvement
in the leather trade was reflected in
higher prices for the Central feathers
and the American Hide and feathers.
Railroad shares received quite as
much attention as the iniustrials, with
Union Pacific. Canadian Pacific and
Chicago and Northwestern the leaders
among the dividend paying group and
Southern Railway. the st. Pauls. the
Missouri Pacific and Pcre Marquette
most conspicuous among the non-diyi-
deRd payers.

COMAL LIQUOR CASE
GOES TO TRIAL HERE
in FEDERAL COURT
Case Will Be Hard Fought;
Attorneys Attack Valid
ity of Search Warrant.

Taking Of testimony in the case Of
Ed PRESS and Oscar PRESS, residents
of Comal county, charged jointly with
violation of the national prohibition
laws, started shortly before the noon
recess at the federal court, Tuesday.
The case will be hard fought on both
sides.
Alleging that the search warrant
under which the officers searched the
PRESS place two miles northwest of
New Braunfels on the old San Marcos
road. did not specifically describe the
premises to be searched, and for other
reasons did not conform to legal re-
0uirements, a motion was introduced by
attorneys for the defense TO suppress
all evidence obtained under this search
warrant. The motion was overruled
by Judge West to which the attorneys
took exception.
The information against Ed and
Oscar PRESS contains four counts al
leging possession Of 225 gallons OF
wine and 80 gallons of whiskey. the
manufacture of the liquor, the posses
sion of certain property designed for
the manufacture of liquor, namely go
pounds Of sugar, 500 gallons of mash,
100 pounds of cornmeal and two stills,
and the sale of one gallon of whiskey
to Dave Wimberly, government wit
ness.
The raid was made on the PRESS
place last August by Prohibition
Agents VIII Thomson and George
Ray. Agent Thomson was called TO
the stand.
Thomas Donovan entered ap lea of
not guilty 10 the possession and sale
of liquor and demanded a trial by
jury. Two witnesses for the govern
ment testified that they had bought
liquor from Donovan. The latter took
the stand and denied having any knowl-
edge Of making a sale to the defendants.
In counsel's argument for the defendant,
the attorey alleged that the government
the law and that their testimony
should not be given any more weight
than that of the defendant. At the
time of the noon recess, the jury had
not reached a verdict.
4 plea Of guilty TO one count and
not guilty TO another count IN an m
formation charging IaSaro Alvarnuo
with violation of the national prohibit
ton laws. was entered before Judge
Duval West. The right of trial by jury
was waived and the defendant was
found guilty on the second count by
the court. A sentence of three months
in the county Jail was imposed.
Others who were sentenced by the
court were: Robert McCray. Sl0O
fine: Ramon Casanova, $50 fine: Vic
tor Morales. 500 fine; Refugees
Flores, $50; and Frank Chavaria, $50
fine.
The sentence of Louisa Lopez was
reduced from four months to one
month and the defendant was ordered
discharged By the court due TO the
extreme age and illness of the defendant
who was sentenced, January 8.
