BITTEN BY DOG, BOY
ASKS $4,000 IN SUIT
Youth Suffered Mental Anguish,
Complaint States.


1t may not be news when a dog
bites man, but it is worth $4,000
to be bitten.
This is the opinion of William
McHenry Horne Jr., 1854 North New
Jersey street, who through his
father has started action in circuit
court for damages against Russell
B. Moore, 5425 North Delaware
street.
The complaint alleges that young
Horne was bitten by Mr.. Moore'S
dog, and that because Mr.. Moore
did not have the dog examined to
determine whether it suffered from
rabies, the boy lay in fear of his life
for fourteen days by reason of his
apprehension he would die.

(Continued from Page 1.)
 Of major significance in that shift of authority was the mater- ial strengthening of the powerful, soldier like Fascist militia, the Heimwehr of Prince Ernest Rudi- ger von Starhemberg.
 The post of minister of Justice was taken from his interim holder, Minister of Eduration Kurt Schus- chnigg, and given to Egon Berger. Waldenegg. He is state comman- der ot the Heimwehr in Stypria. He is also a brother on one of Starhemberg's most important staff officers.
 Dollfuss, in addition to assum. ing special personal sway over the armed forces, retains the posts of foreign affairs, public security, Ma tional defense and agriculture for the moment.
 He assumed these last September 23, when he reoragnized his cab. inet and centralized 1t in Fascist leaders to point the country to. ward his goth century Fascist guild state."
 It was said he had invited the Heimwehr, however, to name a defense minister.
 stephen Tauschits, minister to Germany, was selected as Doll fuss's under secretary for foreign affairs. Ths move, 1t was believed, was made because he is an expert in Austrian German affairs--and also, if he desired to show disap- proval of Hitlerism, Dollfuss could forget to make Q successor as minister of Berlin.
 As a matter of technique, Doll- fuss submitted the resignation of his entire cabinent to the presi. dent, so that he could re-form 1t.

GREAT DISPLAY
 OF NAVY FORCES
70 Naval Ships and 60 Seaplares on Parade
 at Newport

Newport, R. l., July II. .(UP)-- The greatest display of America's sea strength ever seen in New Eng land waters took place here to- day when 70 naval vessels and 60 seaplanes assembled in Narragan- sett Bay.
 Led by the U. S. S. New Mexico, flagship of Admiral Joseph Mason Reeves, commander.in. chief of the fleet, the might armada presented an eight-mile.long battle array. Previously, squadrons of sea- planes from the Airplane Carrier Langley and navy bases man. euvered over the bay in fighting formations.
 Twenty thousand witnessed the display from Ocean Drive, and the city was fiag.bedecked to welcome the S6,000 enlisted men and lO,- 900 officers.
 Later Admiral Reeves was to confer with Rear.Admiral Edward Kalbsus, president of the laval war college here, presumably on the value of Newport ns naval base in time of war.
 At Provincetown, Mass, at the tip of Cape Cod, Governor Ely of Massachusetts, former Mayor James M.

Camden, N. J. (UP)-Efforts to take up the slack on the lag in living conditions are making headway here, as evidenced by housing data collected from 6,23S families by. enumerators employed by the State Housing Code.
 Enumerators have covered PAT city blocks and obtained informa- tion on population of 20,700 since the beginning of the work in June, Clarence l.. McNelly, manager of the Camden office, said. Similar work is employing 400 throughout the state.
 "This data, when analysed, said McNelly, twill substantiate the convictions of Camden citi- gems that our bad housing condi- tions should be eliminated if pos sible and replaced with livable quarters for people of the lower income bracket"

 The family dog was proving through the house when police broke in and discovered the bodies
 The Borgesons had lived at the Gidney home since their marriage about year ago. A fortnight ago Borgeson had lost his job and since had been looking in vain for work. He was seen entering the house at 8 o'clock last night. after day of fruitless job-hunting.
 Yesterday Mrs Borgeson took Es- tella to the neighborhood drug store to maye some purchases. She proudly exhibited the baby to the friends she met there and to the clerks. She seemed in high spirits. Mrs Borgeson was Gidney's only child and he had been very de, voted to her, neighbors said.
 Gidney covered his mail route as us ial yesterday and those who saw him and talked with him said there was nothing to hint at the impend- ing tragedy.

.DUCE SAVES
 CAPRI BIRDS
MussOlini Issues Decree for Sanctuary-Quail
 Permits Revoked

Rome (UP)--Mussolin has be- come protector of Italian birds. He issued a decree making the Island of Capri a bird sanctuary. Great advances have been made in protecting bird life from wanton and indiscriminate slaughter there.
 Readers who recall Axel Mun- the's book "The Life of San Michele" deploring the way birds were killed by the thousands on the island. will be glad 10 learn that it has become a verita ble birds paradise once more.
 This year for the first time the permit to shoot quails migrating from Africa has been revoked. They only may be shot as they fly back in the fall.
 These birds used to be killed by the hundreds in Capri as they flew from Africa in the spring and the markets of Paris and London ab- sorbed the catch. This year the spring quail shooting season has been cancelled to give the birds a chance to breed during their spring and summer stay.
 A "Scholars League for preserv- ing little birds' has been started in Italy and has received the ap- proval of the Ministry of Agricul- ture. The object of the league Is to encourage the school children to protect the insect-eating birds useful to agriculture and also to restrain wanton slaughter. Patron Of the league is St. Francis of As- sIsi.
