NOW LIKELY iThe Rabies Epidemic Has Broken Out Again Since the Last Quarantine Was Officially Lifted. HEALTH OFFICIALS " IN DISAGREEMENT jCounty Health Officer King Favors a Quarantine, but City Officer Davis Thinks It Is Useless. In all probability another order for th quarantine of all dogs in the city i and county, will be issued within the (next few days by the county and city health officers. Since the quarantine was lifted several persons have been bitten by dogs, supposed to have been affected with rabies and apparently the epidemic is spreading again. Two boys were bitten yesterday afternoon by dogs believed to be rabid. John, the young son of Ben Miller, 905 North Tenth stret, was attacked by a dog owned by Albert Rockhill, 925 North Tenth street. Although the youth is not confined to his home, it is feared the dog that bit him was infected with rabies and precautions are being taken to prevent the boys developing hydrophobia. The dog was quarantined immediately and it probably will be killed and its head sent to Indianapolis for examination. - . Another Boy Bitten. The small son of George Schroeder of South Twelfth street was bitten by a dog owned by John Carpenter, 924 South Ninth street, while he was walk ing on South Ninth last evening. The boy was taken to the office of a physician Immediately and his ' wounds dressed. The dog bit him twice on the right leg. The dog was quarantined and nothing wlil he" done with it unless it develops rabies. Dr, King, county health officer, has been in favor of issuing another quarantine order for the past several days but he said the city health' officer, Dr. T. Henry ' Davis, objected to a . new quarantine. Dr. King stated that Dr. Davis had told him that the people refused to obey the previous quarantine and that there is no use in issuing an other edict. : However, when questioned . on this matter today, 'Dr. Davis declared that the county health officer has the power to issue" an order which will cover the city as well as the other parts of .the county.' OA this point.. Dr. King said that he had been informed by the county attorney, John ; F. Rpbblns,; that there is a question as to whether the former's quarantine order would - affect the city. From his statement It is gathered that although Dr. Davis will not refuse to Join with the county health officer in Issuing another order, he does not believe that it will accomplish any good results. "The first quarantine has made the situation no better or no worse than it was before, the order , was .issued," said Dr. Davis. ' A dog belonging to Ed Thomas, 119 North Fifth street created a panic this, morning by trying to bite al who came near him. He was locked up in a closet and Officer Vogelsong killed the dog- this morning. He had bitten no one, IEARLHAM HAS NEW VOCAL TEACHER ' , " ' ' V Glenn Trierwood, of the faculty of the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music, has been appointed as the head of the department of voice in Earlham college, succeeding J.

The majority of the committee on itinerary has reported xhat the church should not go back to the old system of fixing a time limit on the pastorate of any church.

After the arraignment of Harris the work of selecting a jury was begun.. A special venter of 100 was drawn for jury duty, and if this is not enough to complete the jury other venires will be drawn.

All of the&ounts accuse him of unlawfully, feloniously and with premeditated malice killing and murdering his mother.

"The Victory in Ohio Settles the Contest" Jubilantly Exclaimed Col. Roosevelt Today, Who Is Very Much Pleased With the "Impulsive Judgment" of Ohio Voters. Root Is Being Groomed. . (National News Association) OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. May 22. "The victory in Ohio settles toe contest" declared Theodore Roosevelt today. "I believe we could have won without Ohio, but our opponents needed a substantially solid vote in order to give them a chance to make a contest at the Chicago convention." The Colonel was jubilant over the result in the latest state to register its belief that he should be nominated to succeed President Taft. He took the opportunity to poke a little fun at President Taft's declartlon that he would not "trust the impulsive judgment of the people," by saying. "I am very much pleased with the Impulsive Judgment of Ohio. I can only repeat what I have already said, 'that I infinitely prefer the deliberate judgment of the people to their impulsive judgment,' and In Ohio we got their deliberate judgment. And as 1 have also said. If I had to make the " choice I would choose the impulsive judgment of the people rather than the deliberate judgment of the bosses." Then in discussing the possibility of the Taft forces to oust his delegates at Chicago, he said: "The victory In Ohio means that it. will be hopeless for them to try to unseat our delegates who represent the popular will in Washington, Indiana, Kentucky and elsewhere, nor will it be pos

sible for them to try to win by seating delegates from southern states who represent nothing whatever but fraud. "I am profoundly appreciative of what the people of Ohio have done. It represents a victory not only for the plain people of the Republican party, but for every good citizen in the United States; for in this contest we have stood for the fundamental rights of good citizenship, and every honest and decent citizen, no matter what his politics, is. profoundly concerned in our victory for we are fighting his battles..

BULLETIN. COLUMBUS, O., May 22. Taft headquarters this afternoon conceded Roosevelt one delegate In the seventh and one In the seventeenth districts, increasing his total to thirty-two.' REJECTS "NATIVE SON." COLUMBUS. O.. May 22. Theodore Roosevelt has defeated President Taft by 25000 to 35,000 votes and has captured thirty of the fortywo Ohio district delegatesTi"' Latest returns indicate that Harmon delegates were elected in the first second, fifth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and eighteenth districts, giving him twenty delegates exclusive of the six delegates at large. Wilson appears to be the winner In the third, fourth, eighth, ninth, tenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first districts, giving him a total of eighteen delegates. Both sides were claiming the sixth and seventh. The returns from these districts were very slow in coming in on account of the large number of local candidates for office in the counties. These facts stood out prominently today as the returns from the Republican and Democratic presidential preference primaries came in. The returns were complete enough to show that Ohio, "the mother of presidents' had rejected her native son, William Howard Taft, and had decided to support his predecessor for the Republican nomination. Tail Goes' With' Hide. The Taft people wearer -stljl fighting today and State Manager Lewis C. Laylin claimed 'that the six delegates-at-large to be chosen by the state convention will be for the president. In reply to this the Roosevelt manager, Walter F. Brown, saldtL- ...... "The tall will go with the hide." Brown was apparently confident that the state convention will abide with the will of the voters as expressed In the primaries. ' - Delegates to the state convention were elected from only about onethird of the counties, the remainder to be elected at county conventions. Roosevelt has a large majority of those elected. Wilson's best showing was made in the cities while Harmon swept the rural districts. Harmon managed to carry Cincinnati by only a small margin. Wilson captured Cleveland and Tole do. When the city returns, the first toH be reported, came in the "Wilson people were jubilant but when the rural districts came along the victory of Harmon was soon made clear. Bryan Still Popular. The ballots showed that 'William Jennings Bryan has numerous adherents in Ohio, his name being written in by admiring voters in all parts of the state. The vote cast for Senator La Follette was a negligible Quantity in the state, though his strength in the 20th and 21st districts, comprising Cleveland, was one of the surprises of the primaries. In the former he forced Taft into third place and In the latter he ran a close third. Roosevelt's vote In Cleveland more than doubled that of Taft. The victory of the ex-president la the districts which he carried was overhelming, and . his , popularity was

shown particularly in the rural districts. In numerous places the vote, recorded in his favor being as high as 8 to 1 and 10 to 1. " Taft was victor in his home city. Cincinnati,, winning both the first and second districts (Hamilton county." The vote was close In the third and thirteenth districts bat both went to Taft. It will take' the official count to determine the result In. the seventh disM - - - - The fifth and fifteenth districts gave one each, to Taft and JRooseve4t.. .This -was undoubtedly due to confusion among the Republican voters over the form of the ballot. The names' of the delegates were printed in alphabetical order 'with no Indication of whom they represented.

GRAB AT STRAWS. CHICAGO, May 22.1 Gossip suggesting the name of Ellhu Root.-senator from New York and temporary chair-, man of the national convention as a ' possible "dark horse" candidate for the presidential nomination emanated from the headquarters of the Republican national committee today. The gossip was seized upon by politicians gathered at the committee headquarters and spread as the results from Ohio indicated that Taft had been hopelessly beateh in his own state. It was indicated that the Taft managers finding bis losses greater than' they had expected, had turned to Root as the most available man to combat the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt.
