The Dog Question.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Apropos of the dog question and in an
swer to the letter signed Lawyer in
Thursdays issue Of The Star, allow me to
state that If the Commissioners would exer-
else their rights within reason they would
have the assistance and support of all
dog owners in the District. instead of being
assailed by them. Admitting that the law
is mandatory and order muzzling all
dogs ia necessary and imperative, 1t GER
tainly does not. require six months to exter-
inmate the tramp dogs running at large.
No dog owner would object to keeping his
pet housed for a month, or perhaps two,
while the aforesaid ours were being caught
and put out Of the way, but to extend this
order away into midsummer is unjust and
ridiculous. Both the fault and remedy are
with the poundmaster and his men. Make
1t penalty chargeable to them for every
stray and unlicensed dog at large. More
than once have l seen these dog catchers
pass several cur dogs playing in the parks
and pursue pet dog following his master
or mistress, simply because they knew the
latter would go to the pound and pay 81 to
recover the pet, and there would be no
money in catching the others. l would sug-
gest to the men who have these meetings in
charge to give us more than one days no.
tice. 1, for one, have not attended the
meetings on account Of short notice.

THREE POLICE ORDERS.
Directed Against Rubbish ThrOwers,
immoral Pictures and Badge Chains.

Directed Against Rubbish Throwers.
Immoral Pictures and Badge Chains.
Maj. Sylvester issued an order today di-
recting the police officers to enforce the
law against throwing rubbish In the streets
and alleys. At this season Of the year,
when spring cleaning is being done, the
police find that a considerable amount of
such stuff is thrown. out. 1t is for the pur-
pose of preventing this practice that the
order was issued.
An order was also issued directing the Of
ficers to notify holders of slot machines
that they must remove aIl!immoral pictures
from them. In many bar rooms, the police
say, such pictures are in the machines.
