Must Oppose American Arrogance

BERLIN, Dec. 2-Prince Bismarck,
in the Hamburg "Nachriten," COM
menting upon alleged intention of the
United States to interfere in Hayti

BULLET PROOF CLOTH
PROTECTS A YELLOW DOG FROM
INJURY
Several South American Presidents
Anxious to Obtain Suits Made
From the New Material

CHICAGO, July 3-Bullet proof cloth
saved the life of dog. The dog was
taken to the Chicago College Of Dental
Surgery to be shot at The cloth in
vented by Casimer Zeglen, the monk,
shielded the dog from the bullets and the
away as friskily as he came, notwith-
standing the fact that two bullets Of
forty-four calibre were fired at him at
distance of 20 feet from long barreled
actly in place to break his backbone.
He covered from the shot but when un-
tied wagged his tail and did not seem in
the least degree sore. At the second shot
the dog yelped once but was uninjured.
Casimir Zeglen witnessed the shots,
which were fired by Lieut. Stanislaus
De Kowin Sarnecki, the Austrian SOL
der, who is collaborating with him in
the perfection of the invention. This
was the first living object on which the
bullet proof cloth had been tested and
Lieut. Sarnecki was so much slated that
he hugged the dog with joy. Then he
announced that as soon as another piece
of cloth which was being made was COM
pleted, it would be tied over the breast
of living man and bullets fired at it.
The living human target will be shot
at in the dissecting room of the Chicago
College of Dental Surgery in two weeks.
He is a German resident in the vicinity
Of St. Stanislaus Church, to which
Brother Zeglen is attached. His name
has not been revealed. He does not want
to die, Lieut.. Sarnecki says, but he be-
Iieves the cloth will prevent the bullets
from injuring him and he is willing to
make the test. Already two Presidents
of South American republics have writ
ten for samples of the bullet proof cloth
and lf-measurement blanks.

LUX LITIGATION
Another Round Fought, but No Decis-
ion Given

BAKERSFIELD, July 3.-Another
round was fought out today in the tax
case of Miller G. Lux, but the referee
has not decided the case yet. Ten days
ago an injunction was sued out In the
superior court to prevent Tax Collector
Day from selling certain canals for de-
linquent taxes Subsequently the case
was argued and the injunction dissolved.
Today was the day of sale, and this
morning Sheriff Borgward received an
other writ issued by Judge Sewell on a
complaint said to be identical with the
one used in the case that was heard
and determined some days ago, but dur
ing the forenoon Tax Collector Day ap-
pointed William Tyler deputy and
then left the court house. The sheriff
and the attorney for Miller & Lux
haunted the corridors of the court house,
waiting until the injunction could be
served. Promptly at noon Tyler walked
out to the court house door, and before
the sheriff knew what was going on the
whole list of delinquent property, in
cluding the canals in controverys, had
been declared sold to the state. The
point was raised that the sale must take
place in the office of the tax collector in
stead Of at the court house door, and on
this distinction hangs the controversy
at present for before Tyler could re-
treat to his Office and make the sale a
second time an enjoining writ had been
served
