VAN DYKE Field of Entries For Police Board Places Is Grow ing Very Fast. [EROCIOUS HENS CHASE BRADLEY STREET FOLK; HAD REAL HYDROPHOBIA Chickens Drink Blood and Develop Case of Rabies. After yean, perhaps centuries, of siting, Polceman Alfred D. Luck brings to thi world the answer to the famous tiue^t "Why does a chicken cross the rad?” Because ! has the hydrophobia," Is the correct tnd copyrighted reply. If you c3l tip a physician familiar 1th the tefchlngs of Pasteur he will mile dlscretly at the other end of the phone andiay he would like to see a hicken tvpt rabies. If you talk with who Its not made a study of the urk of th great French scientist and disciple, he Is likely to laugh out- ght. If la knows you well enough. But who It comes to facts, see Po- icemnn Lck. Last wek he was called to kill a dog hat had bitten a negro woman who lives at 10 Bradley street. He cor- tfreel th animal after a chase and hot It. A couple of hours later he >ked 1 to aee If tho body had been inivpt It was still In the yard, ing Ina pool of Its own blood, and a numbefOf chickens from tho neigh- it were drinking at this scarlet fount. At tht time he gave this no further thnugl. But a day or two later he notice/, that the chickens were acting ttanily. They would run down the eef often staggering like drunken a,peeking at every tree or animal thlr-way. Wen they saw a puddle of water on heddewalk they would turn and dee a opposite direction. Sometimes would do even more erratic things, e he saw a chicken, or' somebody aw It, deliberately put Its head in front of the wheel of a slow moving dray. They would chase spec tators down the street, making them take refuge In a tree. Remedies for ordinary chicken dls^ eases were unavailing. The hens and loosters. died in fearful spasms and sometimes, so Officer Luck has been told, they seemed to froth at the bill. When he heard that he knew the the ory to which ho had been clinging war a true one, and that those chickens had hydrophobia. If somebody will only testify now that the chickens were heard to bark, he will be wholly sat lsfled. "There's only that one explanation of what happened." said Policeman Luck. "Now that the chickens that drank the blood of that mad dog, and those they bit, or pecked, are dead, there will be nofurther trouble, I reckon. They gob bled up some microbes and It was catching, just the same as In a human being. If you’d seen the way they acted, you'd got out of their way Just as quick as you would jump from a mad dog." Unfortunately Officer Luck did not announce his discovery until all the queer acting fowls were dead and bur led. and therefore there can bo no scientific test of his theory. But wbal't a pathological demonstration compared to tho testimony of the policeman .and the residents of Bradley street? MILLER ACCEPTED AS ARBITRATOR Hon. Roland Ellis, arbitrator for .Southern In the tax return case of that corporation, notified Railroad Commissioner Ntevena Tuesday that ho would accept Judge A. L. Miller, of Macon, ns umpire In the arbitration. G.

The proposition of about 150 DeKalb county citizens to bring what It Is .aid will amount to about one-fourth of that county Into Fulton has stirred up comment and opposition In Atlanta. A formal petition signed by 150 De- Kalb citizens asking that all that por tion lying north of Peachtree creek be taken Into Fulton county has been filed In the ordinary's office and will be taken up by the Fulton and DeKalb grand Juries at their meetings In Sep tember. If favorably reported. It will go to the legislature for Anal action next year. The tract In question embraces three militia districts, Cross Keys, Doravllle, and Shallow Ford. It, Is In the shape of a triangle, with a base of about six miles and sides of ten miles. No towns of any size are Included. 'It Is probably a scheme to get good roads through a part of country where all the taxes paid In fifty years would not maintain one good rood,” said a former Fulton county commissioner Tuesday. "As it Is, the northern part of Fulton county Is a drain upon the rest, the land being much poorer, and the part of DeKalb which tt la pro posed to take Into Fulton Is of the same character. The people of DeKnlb Inter ested In the project are scarcely to be blamed for wanting to get the benefits of Fulton county, but we hardly want them." Two Propositions. Much confusion has arisen from the fact that sometime ago there was an' other movement on foot which was to take Into Fulton only a few thousand acres. This, It Is stated, has been abandoned, but the Impression seems to prevail that the petition filed In the ordinary’s office U of the same char' acter. one statement was that the petition was merely to straighten the dividing line. That quite a large section of Do Kalb Is meant is shown by the petition Itself, which names three militia dlS' trlcts. The petition In the ordinary's office Is In three parts, two of which read To the General Assembly of Georgia tVe, the undersigned citizens of De Kalb country, residing north of Peach tree creek, hereby petition y<jur bon orablo body to change the county line so as to throw all that portion of Do- Kalb county north of Peachtree creek Into Fulton county. The third section Is addressed to the grand Jury and describes ths pro' posed new county line as follows: Said line to proceed from the south end of said line regularly north along the present line to the point where Peachtree creek Intersects the present county line, and thence east and north erly along the line of said creek to the point where said creek Intersects the line of Gwinnett county, and thence westwardly along the line of Gwinnett county and Milton county to the point where Milton county reaches Fulton county. Said change to bring from DeKalb county into Fulton county tho following militia districts: District No. 686, commonly known as Cross Keys district; No. 1416, commonly known as Doravllle district; district No. 524, commonly known as shallow Ford dls trict. $12.95 for $20.00 Suits On sale tomorrow—a line of Summer Suits at $12.95 that vere mighty good values at twenty dollars.

He declared that If the Increased tax was put on that the farmer would have It to pay. Mr. Hule, of Clayton, spoke In oppo. sltlon to the passage of the bill. "There Is no question about who will have this Increased tax to pay," he said. "Are you a farmer?" asked Mr. Price, of Oconee. "Yes, sir; I am a farmer," sold Mr. Hule.
