DOG BITE FATAL AFTER & WEEKS, VICTIM A BABY “Joseph Harubin, Aged 2 Years, 1 Months, Dies of Hydrophohia After Three Days of Agony Joseph Harubin, aged two years and seven months, living with his .. parents at 501 North Burritt street, died in terrible agony this morning of hydrophobia while Dr. T. E. Reeks, superintendent of health, was at the Hartford hospital arranging for a special nurse and private room for the care of the little patient. This is the first death in this city from the © dreaded rabies in many years. The little Harubin boy was bitten on June 12, when a stray dog, which is presumed to have been afflicted with rabies, ran upon the front porch where the child was playing and bit him on the face. The wound was not a bad one and soon healed, the par- ents giving no further thought to the » incident. Three days ago the child "' began to develop alarming symptoms and, Jater Dr. Henry T. Bray was called in on the case. He diagnosed the ailment as hydrophobia and at once communicated with the health department. Although everything possible was done to save the child’s » life, the disease had gone too far and ! death came even while the doctors . were arranging for further treat- ment. Mrs. Harubin states that after the dog bit her little son it ran across the street and attacked a dog owned by Rev. Lucyan Bojnowskl. In view of this assertion the authorities are to make a rigid investigation and w T quarantine this animal and any oth- ers that are known to have been in contact with either dog. After the mad dog had made these two at- tacks on Burritt street neighbors chased the animal from the neighbor- hood and, it is reported in the com- munity, the animal finally ran to its home on Beaver street. On this same r date Police Officer Willlam J. Hayes shot a dog on Beaver street and the authorities believe that it was the same animal. Because there was no reason to believe at the time that the animal was affected with the rabies no test for this disease was made. POOR WELOOME HOME.

Among the arrested extremists is said to be Madame Kolontae. The executive committee of the Council of Workmen’s and Soldiers’ Delegates has adopted by an over- whelming majority a resolution cen- suring Nikolal Lenine the radical leader and his assoclate Zinovieff, and demanding the radical leaders be tried. The provisional government in view of the existing exceptional conditions, has issued a decree closing the frontlers of Russia until August 185, inclusive of that day, both for per- sons desiring to enter and those wish- ing to leave the country. According to the Gazetta, Lenine, the radical agitator is being concealed in Kronstadt, in the guise of a prisoner, by the Maximilists. Premier Kerensky, referring to the' situation in Russia says: “It is a spectre of anarchy which needs to be obliterated. Stout hearts and stern hands are required to stay the rout in the army. There is plen- ty of good material in Russia but it has been allowed to go to waste.” The Vechernee Vremya reports that in the fighting at Tarnopol Galicia, three regiments of Czechs volunteers, abandoned by Russian troops and fearing execution for treason resisted until the last, the officers blowing out their brains and the soldiers rushing where shells were bursting the thick- est.

Artillery- men Leave For Duty at Boston Forts. \ Niantic, July 28.—Niantic camp grounds, a familiar spot to thousands of Connecticut men who have seen service with the National Guard in years of peace, sprang into being as a war camp today. Advance squads of various units which had been mo- bilized came in yesterday. In the early hours today cavalrymen and transportation wagons began coming in. By early afternoon the additions to the camp will be considerable for by night it is expected that all the National Guard except coast artillery men will be here to be put in readi- ness for a federal muster-in. The camp had been prepared for troops by the adjutant general's de- partment and the scéne was not un- like that which was presented a year ago when commands were encamped awaiting orders to move to the Mex- ican border. Off From New Haven. New . Haven, July 28.—National Guard units, mobilized at their local armories on Wednesday and which embraced these commands which had not passed into federal service pre- viously, left their home stations to- day, most of them going to Niantic camp grounds and the coast artillery company to New London on the way to the southland forces. Today's movements were in accord with orders by Col. Shuttleworth, U. 8. A., in charge of federalization of the National Guard in this state and who took over the command at Ni- antic. The entire guard of the state virtually has passed to the federal government, and the only organized militia now is the Home Guard which was brought into being to fill the gap and to be made ready for any emer- and after forcing them to out down the bodies, hanged the Teéutons witia the same rope. Finns Consider Themsclves Free. Helsingfors, Finland, July 28.—The Finnish Diet has adopted a resolution for presentation to the Russian gov- ernment in which it is pointed out that while the Russlan revolution put an end to the enslavement of the Finnish people by the government the Diet is of this opinion: “The introduction in Russia of a new political regime does not give the provisional government right to administer Finland for that would be equivalent as before to the restric- tion of Finland’s constitution and would seriously compromise her political situation. “In order to maintain the internal independence of the country which its constitution guarantees to it,” continues the resolution, “it has been necessary to transfer internal govern- ing power, which must be fundamen- tally national to the Finnish nation.” The address gives assurance that the rights of Russian citizens in Fin- land, as well as those of the Jews, will not undergo any modification, and declares that to live in harmony with the Russian people has always been and will be an essential condi- tion of the prosperity of Finland.

A resolution. along those lines will ba reported next week, The foreign relations vommittes will oppose the resolution by Sena- tor' Chamberlain, approved by the senate military committes, proposing to draft subjects of the European al- lies unless it provides for treaty changes.

It is expected that the bill, which now totals about $1,670;- 670,000 will raised be about $330,000,- 000 chiefly through imposition of in- creased excess profits and possibly to- bacco taxes. This would leave a bal- ance of about $5,000,000,000 of new expense to be raised by bonds. There is much sentiment in the senate to have the new bonds in serial form and at four per cent. interest.

Interviewed the women said it was reported that of the 200 of the com- mand who reached the front ‘only 50 returned. Twenty. were killed, eight were taken prisoner and all the rest were wounded. “‘Several times,” said one wounded | girl, “we attacked the Germans. Espe- cially memorable was our attack at Novos Passky wood near Smorgon, where the enemy, hearing the voices of girls, lost their nerve. The result was that many of them were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. Among the prisoners were a few women from whom we learned for the first time ing. “We did not feel the slightest fear for our personal safety. Onur passion was to serve the fatherland. We ad- vanced gaily against the foe with laughter and song, our only unpleas- ant gentiments being when we first came to the corpses. Once. when re- plying to the enemy’s severe rifle and | machine gun fire we discovered to our amazement that all our men com- rades in the neixhboring trenches had treacherously fled, leaving us, a hand- ful of women—to face the enemy alone.” EX-CZAR BREAKS LEG Nicholas Romanoff Falls to Ground ; Shipments CHICAGO SWITCHMFN GO UT ON STRIKE of Perishable Goods, Including Foods, Under Embargo. July 28.—The strike of | switchmen, belonging to the brother- hood of railway trainmen ,which was called yesterday, became effective at 6 a. m. today on 19 railroads enter- ing the Chicago district. At that hour it was impossible to say, representatives both of the | switchmen and rallroads declared, Chicago, ‘ whether all of the 2,500 men belong- | ing to the order would go out, as the | men repqrt for work in shifts. The first report came from the Van Buren street yards of the Chicago and Aton, where about 200 men failed to report for work. > Of the 6.500 switchmen employed in the Chicago switching district, accord- ing to the general managers’ commit- | tee, 2,600 belang to the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, 2,600 to the 1,500 are either non-union or belong to other labor organizations. James Murdock, vice president of the Brotherhood, in stating the grievances of the men said they de- cided to strike after certain rules long contended for had been denied. The wailroad managers assert that to agree to the demands of the Brother- hood would establish a closed shap, which would cause a strike of mem- bers of the Switchmen’s Union of America. The ganeral managers’ conference committee, representing all the rail- roads affected, as soon as the strike w called declared an embarga on all shipments of perishable goods and livestock until the strike is settled. Although the strike technically is local it will have national scsope to the extent that it may delay traffic on all trans-continental roads passing through Chicago. After receiving the strike notice, the general managers’ committee appealed to Gearge W. Hanger, member of the federal bureau of mediation and con- ciliation, who is here-attenpting to settle differences between the Rock | Island roadroad and its telegraphers, to use his efforts to avert a strike.
