20 Him BY an Indian
In writing Of the native dogs Of Gem
trail America, Frederick Boyle brings
forward theory as to how dogs form
the habit Of barking. He was discussing
with an old resident Of the country
some traits Of the coyote, as the ma
tivow wolf is called, but which more near
ly resembles the dog.
Dogs will never go wild so long as
they can find a master TO serve, and
more especially trained dogs Thes vote
never barks, and only gallops whei! Dur-
sued.
why don't these coyotes bark like
other dogs?'' I asked an old Indian,
pointing to one was trying to reclaim.
And why do they only howl and the
pups grunt?'
His answer was, che won't learn.
''Not learuf1 said /. "What do you
mean?"
mo, he replied, mot learn, for II
he were of an honest breed he would
bark, to try to initiate his master, or
at all events, tho other dogs, but all
barking proceeds from dogs initiating
their masters shout. The master shouts
to drive in cattle to the corral, and the
dog barks also. In fact, the dog initiates
his master when he barls; he tries to
speak, but cannot.
give this curious observation as the
only attempt ever heard to account for
the barking Of cur tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except bowling
and snarling, nor, under the best cir
cumstances, will they learn to bark un-
til the third or fourth generation.-s

HE KEPT THE CHECK.

Turrman Green Morris Was Too Ginning
For tho Banks.
With so many bank robberies all
around rs it is not surprising that there
should be some uneasiness among deposit
tors. In general, however, tho New
Yorker has q clear head. He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quite understand the
mystery Of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin because he
has seen the banks of the city stand to-
gether in support Of weakened institu-
tion. am reminded of what happened
to Green Morris, the turfman, who lived
in Brooklyn and raced horses ON all the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit. He
had big year of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end Of the sea-
son a check from the association for
e67, ,000 Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
worn.
"Why. Green, said reproachfully,
"this check Is 18 months old. What do
you mean by keeping it 80 longf It is
nearly worn out. Don't you know that
a check should be deposited at once or
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail2''
Green chuokled knowingly and wink
ed as he folded it up and put it back in
his pocletbook.
II amt been racin hosses for nothin

MUST HE PAY INCOME TAX?
The Case of the Directing New York
Broker Gil Appeal
1t Is Claimed the Lower Court Erred In
Holding the Act Under Which Tax
Is Levied Constitutional

Washington, Feb. 14.-The case of John
stituted suit against the Commissioner of
internal Revenue to test the constitution
ality of the income tax, came up on ap-
peal before the District Court OF Appeals
today. The points discussed in the hear
ing were mainly reiterations of those
raised in the Equity Court several weeks
ago. The lower court had erred, it was
claimed, in holding the act imposing the
tax was constitutional; that the double
taxation as in the case of the complain
ant was lawful and that the income tax
was an indirect tax, though not appor-
vided by law.
Ex-senator Edmunds, of Vermont, who
made the argument for Mr.. Moore,
sought to show that the tax was a direct
one, and that even if it were an indirect
tax it was not levied constitutionaly, in
that it makes an arbitrary distinction be-
tween classes of individuals and there
fore lacks uniformity. He also upheld the
legal right of the petitioner to bring the
suit in its present form.
Assistant Attorney-General Whitney
held there was no ground for the equit-
able proceedings in the case and reiter-
ated his former contentious as to the
constitutionality OF the act.
Mr.. Edmunds made a short closing
argument, and the Court took the case
under advisement

GOOD WORK AT THE FINISH
The Dogs Were Fast and Rangy at
Salinas Yesterday
Doris Won First in the Derby, Found the
Coveys and Made Twelve Points
i'm Heat

Salinas, CAL, Feb. 14.-No better work
was ever seen than the finish of the derby
this morning Doris and Nimrod were
put down in low cover at 10 o'clock;
Nimrod ranged straight away and Doris
quartered her ground well. In the morn
ing IS heat three coveys were found and
full twelve points made in one heat.
Nimrod was the best hacker, but Doris is
snappy, fast and true They were down
one hour The judges announced the
winners of the derby C. II. Hebert's
pointer Doris, first; H. G. Edward s Eng
lish setter Nimrod, second; E. F. Hughes
English setter Silver Plate, third. The
all-age started at II o'clock. The first
pair was T. J. Wattson's English
setter Sam Weller, being handled by
Haight, with A. P. Kerckhoff's English
setter Mercury, handled by Walters. Both
are exceedingly wide rangers and very
fast. They were down forty minutes, but
no birds were found. ]. NJ. Kilgariff's
English setter Sirius, handled by Allen
der, with C. A. Haight's pointer Honest
John, handled by his owner, were the
next. Sirius had the best of it, exceliing
in range and pace, and making three
points to Johns two John missed some
good opportunities. Howard Vernon's
pointer Glen Brigh handled by Allen
der, was set down with W. G. Kerckhoff's
English setter Betsy Mark, the win
ner of last years derby. He
was handled by Walters. Glen Brigh is
very fast and wide ranger working his
ground well, locating three coveys and
numerous singles, but not as good as Betsy
on scattered birds Betsy is also very
fast and under good control. Betsy point
ed several times staunchly. They were
down one hour and half. Sam Weller
and Mercury were put down again at 8
O'Clock. Mercury had the best of the
heat, Sam running over several birds.
They were down one hour. The all-age
will be finished tomorrow and the anna
teur stake run Saturday.

MINISTER GRAY is DEAD
Was Governor, Senator and Minister
to Mexico
Struggled With Poverty In His Youth
and Rose by His Own
Exertions

City of Mexico, via Laredo, Tex, Feb.
4.-Minister Isaac P. Gray A4ed ~ as
p. m. this evening without regaining con-
sciousness.
Isaac Pusey Gray was born in Chester
county, Pennsylvania, October 1S, 1928.
He was the son of John and Hannah
Gray. His ancestors all belonged to the
Society of Friends, his great grandfather
having emigrated from England with
William Penn and settled in Chester
county. Mr.. Gray received a common
school education. He was ambitions and
of studious habits, and early entered
upon the study of law. His poverty,
however, compelled him to accept a
clerkship in mercantile house at New
Madison. In few years he became sole
proprietor of the establishment.
In 1855 he removed his family to Union
City, Indiana, and soon thereafter entered
upon the practice of law. Mr.. Gray was
Colonel of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry in
the Civil War. He made good record
and remained until discharged on account
of ill health. He returned home and re-
gained his wasted energy and recruited
the One Hundred and Forty-seventh In
gress against the Honorable George W.
Julien, who had long represented that
district He was defeated by about three
hundred votes. Two years later he was
elected to the State Senate.
As young man he was a member Of
the Whg party, but acted with the Re-
publicans during the war. Since 1871 he
has been an active member of the Demo-
cratic party, serving as a member of the
Indiana delegation to the ''liberal Repub-
lcan'' convention in 1872. He was
elected Lieutenant-Gove in 1873, and
was reelected in 1880. In 1884 Mr.. Gray
was elected Governor on the Democratic
ticket. After retiring from that Office he
followed the practice of his profession in
this city until he was called to the Mexi-
can mission, about two years ago.

THE UNITED MINE WORKERS
Wild, the A. r. U. Leader, Makes Speech at

Columbus, o., Feb. 14.-In the meeting

today, Mark Wild, district organizer of
the American Railway Union, under Mr..
Debs, being granted the floor, stated that
when the A. r. U. last summer were at
tempting to stop the running of trains on
the Hooking Valley road, John Mcbride,
then president of the United Mine Work
ers, gave him $50 to induce settlement of
the strike of the railroad men on that
road. Mcbride replied that he did give
Wild the money but it was a charitable
donation from some coal operators, the
strike having been previously overcome
by the railroad company. Mcbride said
None OF the money came from the rail
road company" A committee was ar-
pointed to investigate and report on the
subject in controversy between Wild and
Mcbride.

HAS REACHED washington
Herald's San Pedro Memorial
in the Senate
TO STRENGTHEN THE CAUSE
Senator White to Present the Big
Petition Today
Its Arrival at the Capital Awakens
Renewed Interest In the Harbor
for Southern California.


Special to the HERALD.
Washington, Feb. :14.-The Herald's
San Pedro memorial arrived here last
night and was received by Senator Stephen
NJ. White, who will present it tomorrow
to the Senate. 1t is generally thought
here that tho arrival CT the great mem
orial, compiled as it is of twenty
thousand names that were signed in less
than one week, will greatly strengthen
Senator Whites position on the San Pc
dro harbor appropriation bill. The COM
ing of the big petition has awakened new
interest in the matter here, especially
among the members of the Southern Cali
fornia delegation, and the friends in both
Houses of the bill now in the committee
that promises to give Southern California
deep sea harbor. The box containing
the memorial rolls was brought into the
Senate Chamber this afternoon. Senator
White had it put away safely in
an ante-room and left orders for
it to be brought into the Senate
tomorrow morning. There is no special
order for the matter, but Senator White
will doubtless have the privilege accorded
him of presenting the memorial some
time early in tomorrow's session.

he to reporter for morning paper.
"and to consult with Mr.. Mackay."
'How is the feeling out West regarding
the bond issue?" was asked.
"Well, you can imagine how we feel. /
think the treatment the West has received
is shameful. 1t is the worst blow ever
administered by the hands of any Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is a scheme,
the benefits of which-and they amount
to billions of dollars-will go into the
pockets of few favored individuals. l
think the whole scheme direct slap at
our industries"
''Why is it that SO many of the young
men who go West come back disgusted?'
"They are not made of the right stuff.
The possibilities of California alone are
unlimited. Its resources are unbounded.
l might answer your question by asking
you one: Why is it you have Philadel-
phia so near New York? The West is all
right. The trouble lies with the people.
We have not enough people to develop
our resources. We are by no means as
slow out there as your disgruntled young
men would lead you to suppose. Why,
they are Lexowing San Francisco and
political upheaval such as you had last
November will be the natural result.
