TWO BITTEN
BY Mad DOG
Mrs. Haley and Child
Await Serum; Con-
fined to Home

Two persons, Mrs. Fannis c. Hal
ley and her 14-year-old daughter,
Anna, living on the highway beyond
the Country Club, are confined TO
their home under medical treatment
as a result OF being bitten by a dog
believed TO have rabies. Anti-rabies
serum is being rushed here by train
from q laboratory in Fort Worth, but
il is not to arrive until Friday
night
Mother and daughter were bitten
by the family pet, a small fox ter
rier, while attempting to administer
medicine for what they believed was
a minor ailment. The girl was hurt
Wednesday, sustaining several las
cerations on her right hand, but no
attention was paid her injuries un-
til the dog viciously attacked the
mother Thursday. Mrs. HALEY was
bitten on the lower left forearm
and hand.
DR.. William N. Spohn was called,
and gave his opinion that the dog
had rabies, an opinion that was con-
firmed by DR.. A. B. Niven, veteri-
marian.
There is small probability OF any
thing Of a serious nature develop
ing, DR.. Spohn said. in the event Of
the arrival Of the serum. And even
should this not get here, there is
still plenty Of time for the victims
TO reach Austin for treatment be-
fore any serious effects would mani
fest themselves.
Following DR.. Niven's examination
the dog was shot by Albert Ham
lick. Mrs. Hailey's grandson, who
also killed two Of his own dogs, be-
lieved TO have been bitten by the
least. Two weeks ago he killed an
other dog for Mrs. HALEY that had
been acting strangely.

Given in Fire And
Dynamite

HONG KONG, Sept. 2.-CRl-Fire
and dynamite laid waste to homes
Of Chinese pirates in their Bias Bay
lair when a British expedition struck
back yesterday in reprisal for at
tacks on British shipping.
Last March another expedition
visited havoc on the pirate strong
hold, airplanes dropping bombs.
Hope was expressed at that time
that the band had been dispersed
but renewed activity led to yester-
days action.
Pick Out Houses
The British craft anchored at Bias
Bay with their objectives two pirate
villages, Cheungpai and Fanlokong.
Bent on destruction Of individual
houses in which pirates were known
TO make their residence when not on
their buccaneering expeditions, the
British landed $50 men. They were
met at Moichau by a village elder
who volunteered to conduct them to
Chengpai and point out houses OF
pirates.
Forty houses on the outskirts Of
the village were destroyed when VIII
lagers refused to give information
and later five pirate houses were
destroyed by dynamite.
The punative expedition proceeded
to Fanlokong where five other hous-
es were destroyed. Residents of the
village offered no opposition when
they learned that haunts Of pirates
were the only detectives of the at
tacking forces. Ten junks in Foko-
long inlet were destroyed.

DENNIS RECALLED
FROM NICARAGUA
U. S. Envoy to Be Replaced
March | by John H.
Macveagh.

Lawrence Dennis, who served as
American charge in Managua during
the period Immediately preceding
recognition by the United States of
the Diaz government, has been re-
called to Washington and will be
replaced on the legation staff at
Managua by John III. MacVeagh, now
in charge of Central American affairs
in the Latin American division OF
the State Department.
The change will be effective about
March / and Dennis will take over
the Central American desk in the
Latin American division.
Transfer Routine Matter.
state Department officials said to:
day that the transfer was Of a routine
nature, Dennis having served more
than two years at his present post.
He became charge at Managua when
Minister Charles c.. Eberhardt was
called home, due to the decision of the
Washington Government not to ex-
tend recognition to the government
set up by Gen. Chamorro. Minister
Eberhardt returned to his post after
the Diaz government had been ac-
IcCOB IllLlOIi'
1t is understood that the recall OF
Mr.. Dennis in no way reflects upon
the conduct of his duties last Sum
mer while stationed at Managua, de-
spite the criticism he incurred from
the Sacasa faction. State Department
officials point out that. his record as
it's representative has been excellent.
At the same time the transfer of Mr..
Dennis from his present post may in
dictate a desire by the State Depart
ment to facilitate a rapprochement be-
tween the opposing Nicaraguan po-
litical parties.
Career of Mr.. Dennis.
Mr. Dennis entered the State De-
partment in 1921 and was sent to
Bucharest as third secretary of lega-
ton, where he remained until 1924,
when he was transferred to Teguci-
gaIpa as second secretary. He was
assigned to duty at Managua the
same year, serving as charge d'affaires
from May to December, 1926, during
the absence OF Minister Eberhardt.
Upon the minister's return he became
first secretary to Nicaragua.
Mr.. MacVeagh also entered the
