Charles Knoblauch, wife of a © said some unlons are badly | Pot banker, Miss Bertha Rembaugh, at- torney for Mra, Knoblauch, told Su- preme Court Justice Lehman to-day that muzzies make them snappy @nd quarrelsome, and then she asked the Court how it would feel to be muzzled! Justice Lehman was surprised at this assertion, but astonished when Miss Rembaugh mado the proposition that children ought to be mussied too. His Honor laughed, as many others:in the courtroom did, and he ventured that if the Commissioner of Health proposed mussling children he would last long enough for the evening papers to announce in one edition his new child muzzling rule and then announce in the next edition that be had lost his job. Mrs, Knoblauch was in court on a writ of habeas corpus sued out by her to test the legality of the dog mussiing law. She was convicted in ‘the Magistrates’ Court of letting Kuroki roam the streets unmussied. Kuroki was not tn court. “I wish to call your attention to the absurdity of Commissioner Gold- water’e claims, since he has taken upon himself the pets in this city,’ baugh. “Mr. Goldwater contends our failure to mussle dogs tends to apread rabies. The records of the Pasteur Institute do not confirm his assertion. ‘The statistics show that in 1914‘there were 4,400 dog bites in this city, but there were only 254 cases of alleged rabies, Even if they were real rabies, that eurely ‘was'a very amall percentage.” "We are prepared to show,” Miss Rembaugh continued, “that accord- ing to national statistica there were more cages of whooping cough and epinal meningitis in this’ city than there were ever rabies throughout the whole United States, Whooping cough and spinal meningitis are con- tagious diseases transmitted by chil- dren coughing in the streets. More children die every week from these causes than have died from alleged rabies in the last fifty years. “If we followed tne reasoning of thé Health Commissioner to its | cal conclusion, he ought to make a iy DRAGGED DOWN BY RAID ON U:S. STEEL)’ tainateiieteons Bears Keep Up Their Cam- paign and Say They Will Hit Steel Some More. NEW HAVEN ON SLIDE. Drops Four, While Reading Falls Off Three Points— Rally at the Finish. A sudden bear raid, reinforced by weakness in United States Steel and European liquidation in some interna- tional securities, sent the stock mar- ket tumbling rapidly at noon to-day. There wore enormous transaction in United States Steel all during the morning, around the. new minimum price of $40 per share that had heen fixed by the Exchange Governing Committee, Quotations bumped around that fig- ure, sometimes rising a fraction above and then settling back on the price barrier. Outside the Stock Exchange, on the New Street curb, Steel was selling at two points below the floor quotations. In the three hours fi.m 10 to 1 there Were 65,700 shares of Steel sold. The noonday slump hit hardest at Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, which are held heavily in Europe, and also took in New Haven, which had a slide all its own. The low figures touched were: Can- adian Pacific, 157; off @ points; Union Pacific, 1183-4; off 3 points. New Haven, 49; off 4 points. Reading, 146 1-3, off 8 points. There was a rally after 1 o'clock which stopped the decline and steadied things a bit. A variety of rumors were afloat about finances and war situations. The bears were predicting that the minimum of 40 for Steel was not low enough, and It would have to be put down several notches further. In the last half hour of the day’ session many stocks ran off agai some making new lows for the day. In the last hour of the session there was renewal of heavy selling, especially in Reading and Northern Pacific. Steel common passed out of the market en- tirely, as there were 1 at the minimum price of 40. New'Haven bumped against itsmini- mum of.49 and as in steel, there the trading ceasing. Transactions in Read- ing during the afternoon rivaled the morning activity in steel, and the price fell away to 1441-4, which made the net loss of 1-8 1-2 points for the day. New York Central fell away nearly three points to 88 3-4. ‘@ drop of one and one-half cents per bushel. rule muzzling all the children of this| shor, great city to prevent the spread of whopping cough spinal menin- gitis, There is nothing absurd in this idea of mussling all the chil- dren, if this rule of muzsliing dogs is to be held constitutional. “And let me tell Your Honor.

The factory was a four-story brick structure formerly occupied by the William Peddie trunk factory. The employees came to work at 7.30 o'clock. At 8 o'clock there was a loud explosion on the third floor at the thwest corner of the building and a sheet of flame swept through ali the third floor. Large quantitics of celluloid were stored there, and into this inflam- able mass the fire ate its way as if in gunpowder, With such rapidity did the fe spread that ‘within three min- | utes after.the explosion flames were ahooting from every window on the third floor of the block-long building. The employees rushed for the fire escapes, But before all of them could deacend the lower ladders were being Ncked by great tongues of fire.
