RABIES CASE
FOUND in POST

A stray dog suffering from rabies
was killed at TT. Brown Sunday
morning. The case was diagnosed
BY Captain Griffin, post veterinar-
ian, who is a canine specialist and
has had vast experience in dealing
with rabies. The animal was not
owned by anyone in the post and 1t
was ascertained that 1t had entered
the reservation by Elizabeth street
gate and had been on reservation
about three hours. The dog bore no
means OF Identification OF owner
ship. It was a black female mongrel
weighing about 80 pounds. The
head of the animal was shipped to
Corps Area laboratory. Fort Sam
Houston for confirmation OF dag
nosis. a procedure which IS required
by army regulations.
Upon discovery of the first case
this year. the commanding officer
Of Fl. Brown Immediately INITIATED
steps for prevention of spread by is
suing an order which made compul-
sorry the vaccination Of all dogs on
reservation and which were not vac
cinated and all animals not vacci-
mated will be humanely destroyed.
Captain Griffin put great stress
upon the enforcement of the vacci-
nation law and the dangers OF the
spread OF infection by stray dogs.
Rabies is fatal TO dog and human If
once contracted. Not only dogs are
susceptible but also horses, cattle,
hogs, cats and various wild animals.
1t is claimed that the skunk Is a
common source of infection, and al
so rabbits. A dog in the first stages
will travel for miles and while roam
ing may bite several dogs. Dogs that
are vaccinated have an immunity
from bites OF infected animals.
Warning is sounded that in case
a person is bitten by a dog. that
dog should not be killed immediate
~ but should be placed in a tight
enclosure for observation for a per-
iod of two weeks, the time which is
known To bring about a positive di-
agnosis. II a dog Is killed during
the first period Of the disease. II IS
very difficult TO establish in many
cases the findings Of the germ in
brain tissue. but if the animal is
kept for a period from 5 to 10 days,
if affected with rabies will die and
the germs then can be easily found
in brain tissues. The findings Of
these germs determine as 70 whether
the person bitten should take the
Pasteur treatment o. not. This
period Of observation will not him
der the person being bitten as the
incubation period is sufficiently long
to establish an observation period
as mentioned.
All dogs entering the reservation
which do not bear q vaccination
tag will immediately be impounded
and held for a period of three days
and If not claimed will be destroyed.

BY CHARLES r. SPEARE
,ecial pispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 24.-To a consid-
cradle extent the fashions in securities
in the past two years have been set by
the investment trusts and trading cor
porations. What they were buying
or selling, according to popular rumor.
has been taken as guide by the public
in its individual market operations
Lists of investment trust holdings of
securities, analyzed from time to time,
have indicated strong favoritism for
public utility and industrial stocks. A
majority of them have revealed the fact
that about q dozen issues from these
two groups could be found in practically
every portfolio. Among these were Con-
solidated Gas. Electric Bond & Share,
American Telephone & Telegraph,
United States Steel. General Electric,
Westinghouse Electric, Union Carbon &
Carbide. american Can, National Bis
cult, American Tobacco and Standard
Oil of New Jersey. The absence Of any
large holdings, widely diversified list
of railroad shares, has been a conspicu-
GUS feature in investment trust owner
ships.
This apparent discrimination against
the stocks of the carriers is further en-
phasized in an analysis made by the
Wall Street Journal of the lists of
about IS so-called trusts" whose total
portfolios amount to nearly $500, 600, 900
and in which the railroad investment
aggregates only $45,000,000. Eliminat-
ing the figures Of the Sun Life of Can
ada, whose investment in rails is less
than $4,000,000 of total portfolio of
$3.50, 100000, the other % trusts show
an ownership in railroad securities of
approximately $4,000 900, or IL per
cent of all investments.
Eight of these % trusts" have a rail-
road investment in excess of the general
average Of IL per cent. One of the
older companies apparently favored
rails quite strongly, as 1t shows nearly
80 per cent in this classification. Two
their total portfolio in the stocks of
the steam transportation lines, and an
other over 18 per cent. This would be
a fair proportion of the we'll diversified
list of securities, which would not only
include the stocks of public utilities, in
dustrialS and railroads, but also those
Of banks and insurance companies and
good proportion Of domestic and for
eign bonds.
To Offset the effort to show prejudice
on the part of creators of fashions in
securities against railroad stocks it
should be saio that majority of the
investment trusts came into being at a
time when the stocks of public util-
tiles were more popular than they had
even been before. Not a few of the
trusts followed the line of least specu-
lative resistance and bought what every
one else was buying and with not too
good Judgment as to the prices paid.
It was the competition between the
various trusts for the same class of
stocks as well as for the individual
members of groups Of stocks that had
much to do with bidding up market
values to a top-heavy level.
In the subsequent reaction, 1t was the
depreciation in public utility shares,
more than in any other group, that
brought down market values Of trust
shares below the prices which the pub
