POLICE WILL sLAY DOGS.
Ordinance Passed Authorizing slaugh

Des MONIES, May 15.-Responding to
public clamor for protection from
rabid dogs, with which the city has
been infested for some time, the city
council met and passed an ordinance
empowering the marshal to order the
police department to shoot and kill
all dogs found running about the
streets without muzzles and wearing
a tag showing their owners have paid
the tax imposed upon dogs. The ordi-
nance is quite sweeping in its provis-
ions, clothing, as il does, the chief of
police with ample power TO rid the
community of a pest of rowing ours
which are at once a nuisance and a
menace. That a dog has tag at
tached to his collar showing his owner
has paid the dog tax will not suffice
TO preserve his life If found off the
premises of his master. The council
realized that mad dog with tag on
his collar was equally as dangerous
as one without tag, and provided
that hereafter all dogs running about
the streets must be provided with a
muzzle as well as the tag. Chief Brack-
EFT has issued orders instructirg the
policemen to kill all dogs running at
large in violation of the ordinance
mentioned, and the ordinance will
be obeyed to the letter.

Ames, May 1S.--At the meeting OF
the trustees of the Iowa State college
Saturday, it was decided to award the
contract for the new central building

contract price is $262,G00 This does

Constantinople. May 18.-The Turk
ish authorities are disquieted at the
recent appearance of bands of Armen-
ian revolutionists coming from Russia,
in the districts of Bayazid and Sasun,
Armenia, and are adopting rigorous
measures to guard the frontier. The
Armenians cross in small parties in
the neighborhood of Bayazid and
hence make their way to the Sasun
mountains, where they are safe
from pursuit. 1t is alleged here that
the Russian authorities of Kars,
Asiatic Russia, are aware of the move
ment of the Armenian revolutionists,
but that they do not intend to inter-
fere. 1t is believed that the appear
ance of these bahds indicates revival
of the activity on the part of the old
Armenian committee, who it is report
ed. are anxious to be in position to
take advantage of possible complica-
tions arising from the Macedonian sit
uation, in which case the Armenians
will be revived, and the same advant-
ages gained by the Macedonians from
European Intervention will be demand

ers in Decreasing Armament.

ers IN Decreasing Armament
London, May 15.-The question OF
the reduction of naval ornaments
came up again yesterday in the house
of commons during discussion of the
estimates. The speakers suggested
that the government take the first step
in proposing a reduction to Other
powers. Sir Charles Dixie, advanced
radical, said he thought this might be
possible. In view Of the improved re-
lations between Great Britain and
France, those two nations might talk
the matter over and subsequently ap-
proach Russia. Even If Germany did
not agree to a reduction the three
powers might effect something. 1t
was not necessary for Great Britain
to build against the United States. 1t
would be as great mistake to count
upon the United States as an enemy
as to count upon her as an active ally,
for the United States had always been
the great defender of the rights OF
neutrals.
Mr. Arnold-Foster, the admiralty
secretary, after having pointed out
that it was the duty of the admiralty
to deal with facts as they were and
not as they might be, said that all the
great powers were increasing their
maritime preparations, mainly Russia.
According to the available figures
France and Russia together were now
building three more battleships than
Great Britain. AS the actual force
in ships which could be atrayed
against Great Britain ought to be the
guiding principle, he denied that the
admiralty's proposals were in excess
of the requirements Of the country.
The secretary added that he would
not on that occasion express any view
with regard to the position as affected
by the United States-"that was a
grave consideration which in the fu-
ture would have to be considered"

EMPLOYERS GET

Dor Unions.
MEETING HELD IN NEW YORK
NJ IRE Than zoo Employers Hold Secret
Session to Discuss the Matter-state-
msnt Declares Walking Delegate IL
Parasite on the Body Polite.

New York, May 16.-The first steps
towards effecting general organiza
ton of employers. in the building
trades for the purpose Of offerins
united resistance to the demands OF
the labor unions were taken last night
at meetings held in Manhattan anG
Brooklyn. The meeting in Manhattan
was held at the Building Trades club
100 employers being present, and the
throng being so great that overflow
meetings were held in the various as
sembly rooms of the club.
The meeting was in private, and at
its close the following statement was
given out as the sentiment of they
rious speakers:
"The complete paralysis of the
building industry has been brought
about by irresponsible combinations
acting through a tyrannical board Oh
walking delegates, or business agents
which demand prompt and energetic
action by all good citizens who have,
the welfare of our great city at heart
at is time that the decent and order
loving mechanic asserts himself and
defies the arbitrary demagogle who

THE delegate is a parasite on the
body public to be exterminated.
cit was pointed out that this is no
question of wages or hours, but 8
question of whether the irresponsible
bodies of men are to be permitted tc
conduct the business of the employer
and in so doing make ii impossible fol
HIM to execute his contracts and te
H.. Ill
sibilities which he assumes and tG
which the courts and the law of the
land bind him.
THE extremes to which the unions
have resorted and the manner in which
they have repeatedly broken contracts
with their employers have alienated
from them the sympathy Of the public.
THE speakers also called upon the
police and the magistrates to perform
their duties unfiinchingly. They point
ed out the failure of Justice in the pass

FEAR A MASSACRE.
Turkey May Permit II to Give Moslenns
Chance to Expend Wrath.

Vienna, May 1.-THE Austro-Hun.
garian squadron has been ordered to
leave Salonica. The turret ship Wren,
however, will remain there.
The request of Prince Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria for an audience with Empers
or Francis Joseph has apparently been
refused. Prince Ferdinand has passed
through Vienna and Budapest return
ing to Sofia, where he arrived today.
While here he had no communication
with the Austrian foreign Office.
The chief danger in the Balkans ia
now thought to lie in the turbulence
of the Turkish population, whose fury
against the Christians threatens to
start conflagration. The attitude of
the Turkish government is viewed
with much distrust by diplomats here.
1t is feared that Turkey will permit
the massacre of Christians, thereby en-.
abling the Moslems to expend their
wrath.

BULGARIA CALLS POWERS.
They Must Act II Serious Complica

London, May 15.-The correspond
ent of the Times at Sofia cables as
follows:
Bulgaria has called the attention of
the powers TO the seventies practiced
by the Turkish authorities in Mace
donia, the outrages committed by the
armed Mohammedan population. and
to the secrecy of the proceedings Of
the Salonica court martial which pre-
cludes consular intervention. Nothing
is known here of the alleged Bulga-
rian note to the powers, but if serious
complications are to be avoided these
matters must receive the serious at
tention of the powers.
"A state of terror prevails in several
districts. Many villages are blockaded
by the Turkish troops and some have
been bombarded and burned. The
Bashi Bazouks are assisting in the
work of destruction. Villagers have
been arrested wholesale and others
are fleeing to the mountains"
