Rabbits GiUen NelV
Rntina: Livestock

FAIR FAX, Va, July 8.
Whether or not rabbit is live
stock was the weighty problem
which vexed the brows of the
special board appointed to con
slider claims presented by tax
7ayers for damage done by stray
dogs. The law provides that
losses incurred from rowing
CANNES shall be paid by the
county only in the case of live
stock.
The decision finally reached
was that rabbits kept for profit
are livestock and a claim for
$42 for Belgian hares killed by
dogs was consequently honored.
other claims paid from the dog
tax fund were $3.50 for So sheep
killed; $40 for one calf; $50 for
oogs killed: So for a goat: 5000 fol
urkeys and 1852 for poultry.

JOB TO
K|NSLEY IS
DENIED
Vermont Man lntimated That
He Had Been Sounded Out.
White House Spikes Report

What political Washington now
humorously terms 'the strange
case of Claudius Huston" became
even more complicated today
when the White House was i'm
PEELED to issue an official denial
that the Craftsmanship of the r !
publican National Committee had
been offered to Earl S. Kinsley,
committeeman from Vermont.
Kinsley was represented in his
Vermont home as having been
offered the Craftsmanship by
President Hoover, but the White
House issued a pithy little state
ment of 10 words. as follows:
"The President has had no
communication with Mr.. Kins-
ley whatsoever"
Thus the situation rested today,
with the executive members OF
tho committee scrfduled to meet
here tomorrow Az the call OF
chairman Huston.
In most quarters the expecta-
ton prevails that Huston will an
nounce his retirement after coz
siderable persuasion by his col
leagues. Huston himself refuses
to deny or affirm that he will
resign. He answers to all ques-
tionS:
Pressure for the removal of
Huston has been acute among
party leaders since the Senate
lobby committee turned up his
lobbying activities in behalf Of
the Union Carbide Company,
which sought control of Muscle
Shoals, and the revelation that
Huston temporarily diverted funds
he received in this work to his
private brokerage account in
New York.
It increased today.
There was a steady stream OF
political callers pouring through
Mr.. Hoover's office today urging
him to take some action to pre-
vent further party embarrassment
in the coming campaign.
Representative Will r. Wood
CRO, of Indiana, chairman of
the House Appropriations Cons
mittee. and also chairman of the
congressional campaign commit
tee, upon emerging from the
White House, said:

caller. He denied he had made
statements attributed to him, and

Selection Committee Hopes to

Newport, R. I, Aug. o7 CP) - With the rulers of the clements ap-
 parently arrayed against the New
 York Yacht club in it's selection of
 q defender for the Americas cup,
 the selection committee hoped to- day to be able to get the four de-
 fense candidates over the 30milc ocean course before sundown.
 Starting time was set for 11.40 a. m. (E.S.TD for the first pair and the other two were to cross the line
 a few minutes later The pairings were not to be announced until the boats reached the starting line.
 The past week has seen only two days of successful sailing in which the Yankee twice led Whlrlwind home and Enterprise gave Weeta- moe two bcatings. Heavy weather
 last Friday and Saturday caused the l committee to postpone the trials and
 on Monday, with little air and fog so thick it could be cut with knife, another postponement was neces- sary. Yesterday there was not
 enough breeze to permit of racing and another halt was ordered.
 While light air held the four
 American sloops from competition, the Shamrock 5th. Sir Thomas Lip tons challenger for the America s cup, has been gliding like a water sprite all around Narragansett Bay dispelling all previous reports that
 the trim sloop could not travel in

 throat. Any comparison of her per formance with that of the four
 American boats would be of ques-
 tionable fairness. She was outward
 bound on a long reach from hel mooring in Benton's cove, with every sail properly trimmed, while tho others were making but short hitch ! cs. threading in and around the biz l spectator fleet and trying to remair . close to the committee boat.
