No new cases Of rabies have de-

according 10 Or. Frederick r Bald
win. assistant deputy commissioner Of
domestic animals. Or. Baldwin did
say. however, that he found dog
lust over the line in Rhode Island,
Wednesday. which IS doubtless infect
ed and Is now under observation.
Five additional dogs were killed in
Goodyear last Friday by Special Dep
uty Chauncey Genung Of Hartford.
All Of the animals were thrown into
a common grave Incidentally, Dep
uty Genung Is taking the pasteur

ling with the rabid dogs, that he had
slight scratch on his hand and IL

One Of the dogs killed in Goodyear.

This shows that IL is not safe to let
any dog loose, especially in any see

have roamed.

y h'ch can only become effective
through the cooperation Of dog own

This. according 10 DR. Baldwin Is the
safest method Of protection. While
the officials state that they are well
pleased with the way dog owners
have responded to the quarantine by
keeping their animals confined, the
vaccination method Is suggested as
the very best precautionary measure
Of protection and prevention.
II will be some time. Il Is stated, be-
fore there can be any hope Of the
quarantine being lifted. Animals hav
ing been inoculated are immune af-
ter twenty-one days and can then be
safely allowed to be about.
With continued cooperation the
situation is not alarming. II is, how

might become serious unless the quar-
antine is strictly obeyed.

expert, told the separations commits
sion today the allied reparations an
nuities proposed on Saturday ex-
ceeded Germany's capacity to pay.
Today's session opened with the
distribution Of a table Of figures
showing the creditor nations had
arrived at the proposed annuities.
This table had been requested yes
terday by DR.. Schacnt who asked
fer more light on the individual
items.
After the tables were distributed
there arose q general discussion
in which Dr.. Schacht took the lead
as to the ability Of Germany to meet
the proposed payments.
Thus began the period of real bar
gaining which will probably result
in more or less whiting down of
the proposed annuities. AS the dis
cussion went on, the atmosphere
around the lobbieS Of the Hotel

There was a general feeling in ex-

PROBLEMS ON
HOOVER'S Mind
Chief Executive Studying
Farm Aid, Administra-
ton, Enforcement
BY JAMES L. WEST
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer)

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Presi-
dent Hoover is concentrating on
three problems to the exclusion of
other matters.
This accounts to a large degree
for the lack of reaction from the
White House to suggestions for a
consideration of relations with soviet
Russia, a ley naval arms conference
and other subjects.
Foremost among the present prob
lens is the redeeming OF the party
campaign pledges for farm relief
and tariff revision. OF only slight
ly less importance is the completion
of the reorganization of the admin
iStrative machinery Of the govern
ment. Third is the setting up Of
the law enforcement commission to
conduct study into the operations
of enforcement commission to con-
duct study into the operations of
enforcement machinery in all Of its
branches and into the working of
the prohibition enabling acts in par
ticular.
Administration officials forsee lit
tie difficulty in getting through a
farm relief measure along the lines
laid down in the republican party
platform and in the campaign adj
dresses Of the president, and they
are hopeful that limited tariff re-
vision can be accomplished without
undue delay.
They also expect that within three
or four months administrative re-
organization will be completed. Sub
stantial progress has been made in
that direction and announcements
probably will be made this week
of appointments or the full person.
mel of assistants to the postmaster
general and the attorney general.
This will leave only two depart
ments-state and commerce-in
which reorganization work will be
incomplete.
President Hoover has made prog
reSS in selecting members of the law
enforcement commission, but thus
far he has kept his selections Sc
cret. The personnel of the commits
sion probably will be completed
within a week or 10 days.
When the commission reaches the
study of prohibition enforcement all
sides will be given an opportunity to
be heard and this phase of the in
quiry alone probably will consume
some weeks.
