NO LAW FOR MUzzl|NG DOCS.
The Number of Persons Bitten Is
Greater Than Usual.
Latest Case Reported Is that OF an
East Broadway Girl.

The question has been asked many
times during the last week or two. why 1t
is that the dogs running about the streets
of the city are no longer muzz!ed.
The reason Is that the new law. which
went into effect last April placing the
licensing of dogs in New York city
under the supervision of the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
mails. d 1es away entirely with the muz-
ZlinG provision of the old law.
This has been decided by Corporation
Counsel Clark in an opinion which he
submitted to the Mayor at the special
request of the latter.
The old law was very stringent in its
provisions with regard to the muzzling
of dogs when running loose in the
streets. and this was done because of
the dread of hydrophobia. The Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, however. holds that muzzling a
lation of hydrophobia unless the ami
mails mouth Is closed tight by the muz-
gle. and such practice is In Itself pro-
ductive of the disease.
II Is for this reason that the Society
has decided to do away with muzzles en-.
| ttrely, and II more people than uaua
! have been bitten by dogs of late IL Is
the result OF the new order of things.
The argument which the advocates of
the reform use is this: They say that
| II the muzZle were II necessity. II
would be right to use II even at the
| cost of Inconvenience and suffering IL
| tue dogs. But since II Is not necessary
| the use of muZzle is In most cases a
| superfiuous and -ratuitous cruelty.
| They say the muEzle Is useless unless
| II keeps the dogs mouth shut. But II i
| does that IL cruelty intcrferes with tn
! perspira ton Of the animal. which ex
/ udes wholly from the mouth. and thus
! causes fever, with intense nervousness
| sometimes extending even to hts nnC
! other alarming symptoms, which Otter
enormously create the apprehension tina
| the dog Is suffering from hydr3phobia
| when. In fact, 1t is only tortured by TN
| muZZle.
There are many nervous people, how
| ever. VINO do not believe in giving thu
dogs all the liberty which the society
| sees ut to allow them, especially durint
| these hot Summer days. Reports OF mad
| dog shootings and of people being bitter
by SUSPICIOUS animals are alarminglN
! frequent and not few would be II
| favor Of going back to the old custom o
| keeping the animals tightly muzZled dur
| ing the dog days. II they are 10 be al
! lowed 20 roam the streets In undisturoet
| freedom.
The latest report OF this kind vas
made by the police this morning. Th'
| victim was Mary Cregan, an eight-Year
| old child. who lives at III East Broad
way. Sh" was playing last evening II
front OF % East Broadway, when {
vicious dog ran up and bounced np3I

| escaped The child was taken home
and is now good subject for the Pas
