Woman Seeks
$5,628 For
Dog Bite

If a man bites a dog, that's
news. But If a dog bites a
woman, that's worth $5,628.
At least, that is the sum
sought by Miss Mary Daven-
port, of the Park Lane Apart
mentS.
Miss Davenport filed suit for
that sum in District Supreme
Court today. She charges that
last September she went to visit
her friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
P. Archambeault, in Alexan-
dria. She was attacked by their
dog, she claims, falling and
breaking her arm and suffering
bites and other wounds.
She asks $1,000 for the
"shock, fright and humiliation"
she suffered and 1923 for medi-
cal expenses.

Buttmanff. departmental chief of the
Reich ministry of interior in charge
of church affairs, retired from that
post today. to the CONSERVATION OF
the Protestant opponents OF Reichs-
bishop Ludwig Mueller's chuch die
tatorship.
Buttmanff was regarded by the anti

and conciliatory man who tried to
bridge the chasm between the opposed
forces. They fear that his successor,
still undisclosed, will vigorously apply
the Reich cabinets decree concerning
the legality of the Mueller church.
Under that decree, litigation involv-
ing the legality of the Mueller regime
can be taken from the courts and
points at issue settled by the ministry
of the interior.
Buttmanff will become director OF
