BY JAMES WATSON.

I Although the Boston terrier is an Amerl-
can-made dog. the material from which the
breed was evolved was very low-eiass Eng
lish, mongrel pit fighting dogs of small
size, but we have nevertheless breed
which is a pure American production 50 far
as any record goes or there is any possi-
bility of tracing probabilities beyond the
limits of fairly well-supported assumptions
This is the Chesapeake bay dog. a dog that
for just hundred years has been fos
tered along the duck-shoottng grounds of
the Chesapeake and gradually further afield
his merits became known and transport
tation easier, until we now find it firmly es-
tablished as far away as Puget sound,
where tie breeders of that section. starting
with selected stock. now in possession
of far higher average of type and good
looks than can be seen at the old breeding
grounds where good work has always taken
the place of good looks when a choice had
to be made.
Various statements have Keen made re-
garding the origin OF the Chesapeake. some
of which might be possible And now for
the only correct history of the origin of the
breed, full particulars of which recently
came into my possession.
The first evidence is a letter dated jan
uary :, 1915. written by the late George Law
of Baltimore, and Is as follows: I'm the fall
longing TO my uncle. the late Hugh Thomp-
son of Baltimore. when we fell in, at sea,
near the termination of a very heavy equi-
noctial gale, with an English brig in sink
ing condition and took off the crew. The
brig was loaded with Goldfish and was bound
to Poole, in England, from Newfoundland.
| boarded her in command of the boat from
the Canton, which was sent to take off the
English crew, the briggs boats having been
swept away and her crew in state of in
toxication. L found on her two Newfound-
land pups, male and female, which | saved.
and subsequently on our landing the Eng
lish crew at Norfolk. our destination being
Baltimore, | purchased these two pups from
the English captain for a guinea apiece.
Being bound for sea again | gave the dog
pup, which was called Sailor, to Mr.. John
Mercer of West River, and the slut pup,
which was called Canton, to Dr. James
Stewart of Sparrow's Point.
The history which the English captain
gave me of these pups was that the owner
of the brig was extensively engaged in the
Newfoundland trade and had directed his
correspondent TO select and send him pair
of puppies of the most approved Newfound-
land breed, but Of different families and the
pair / purchased were selected under this
order. The dog was of a dingy red color
and the slut black. They We're not large
their hair was short but very thick-coated
| they had dew claws. Both attained great
regulations as water dogs. They were most
sagacious i'll everything, particularly so ii
| all duties pertaining TO duck shooting.

It Is far cry to st. Louis, but that will
not stop a good many from entering for the
Mississippi Valley Kennel Club show, from
among Eastern owners. The premium list
is an attractive one and the $50 plums for
the best dog In various breeds are very
attractive as expense providers. OF the

Apropos of these dogs of the briny the
prospects for the show by the bright sea
waves of Atlantic City on April II and fol-
lowing days are that this years entry Will
be a very large one. Secretary T. H. Ter
ry, writing on Wednesday. said that up to
date they had twice as many entries as
last year. My experience is that both my
premium lists were asked for by friends
who had not received one; one had To be
replevined to accommodate a request by
mail on Friday morning. and ere that was
sent away a telephone for information and
a premiun list was replied to by giving the

THE GARFIELD REPORT
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Rochester alone was $115,000.
"(3) The Standard OH Company has
maintained absolute control of almost
the whole section of the country south
of the Ohio river and east of the Mis-
sissippi by means Of secret rates and
open determinations in rates from
Whiting, Ind.
For example. the published tariff
rate from whiting. Ind. the great
western refinery of the Standard, to
Birmingham. Ala. was "A cents per 100
pounds For at least ten years the
STANDARD, by means of secret COM
bination of rates by way of Grand
Junction. Tenn, over the lines of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois. the Illinois
Central and the Southern Railway, has
shipped oil to Birmingham for 29h
cents The Toledo competitor, no
farther distant, had to pay 471a cents.
"A great area in the south has been
reached by this same secret combina-
ton at rates averaging one-foufth less
than the published rates. The total
saving to the Standard on these rates
has. been about $4,000 per year"
The above are only a few instances
cited by Garfield's report. They serve
to show the tremendous advantage en-
joyed by the great trust.
Some Good Done.
After calling attention to good which
already has resulted from investiga-
ton, Garfield says changes effected
have pat independents upon fairer
footing and make competition possible
In territories heretofore inaccessible.
The report concludes; 'Neverthe-
less, the widespread determinations in
open rates still In force leave the In
dependents at serious disadvantage.
Investigation has shown very clearly
law, viz: The method of filing and
publishing tariffs.
"Altho a tariff or a rate has been
filed with the commission In compile
ance with the terms of the law, none
but the favored shipper may know of
its existence Tariffs may be made and
rates may be combined in such manner
as to make it practically impossible
for the ordinary shipper to find them.
AS long as the state rates are not re-
quired to be made public, and shippers
use such rates in combination with In
terstate rates, all manner Of devices to
evade the purpose of the law are pos
sible. All state rates used in connec-
ton with interstate shipments should
be filed with the Interstate commerce
commission, and radical change
should be made In the direction of sim
plifying tariffs and in methods of post
ing and filing them.
Every Respectfully.

has strong symptoms of hydrophobia
He was comparatively quiet during

was awaiting the arrival of rig to
take him to the insane hospital, he was
seized with wild frenzy and began
barking like dog. 1t was a wild
wierd bark. and so loud that he could
be heard block away from the deten.
ton ward of the Jail.
From barking he turned to biting
and snapped viciously at those around
him.
He was thrown upon a bed and his
arms and legs We're securely pinioned
out he managed to get portion of the
pillow into his mouth and chewed ii
vciously, snaring exactly like an en-
ragged dog.
Wher the pillow was taken from
him he chewed his tongue until the
blood poured from his mouth. Two
physicians were hastily summoned and
he was finally quieted His relatives
do not know of his having been bitten
by a dog, but there have been reports
Of sllydrophobia turnout this sector
of the state from time to time.

LUCKY TWINS BORN At SEA.
Destitute Parents Get a Nice Little
sum From Fellow Passengers.

New York, May 4.--The steamship
Coamo when she arrived at her pier az
the foot of Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn,
had two more passengers than when
she left San Juan. Porto Rico, a few
DAVIS previously. The additional voy-
ayers had been brought aboard by the
stork and were Raymond Hadley Nor
,rison, 8 days old, and his twin sister
lCoamo Dalton Morrison. With their
mother. Mrs Herbert Morrison. the
sea born twins were taken to hospi-
tai.
Three years ago, Mr.. Morrison, with
his wife and family, left Brooklyn for
the Bermudas where he raised beans.
His attempts to popularize Boston's
delicacy in the English colony were
fruitless and he moved to Porto Rico,
There too, he failed and friends filed a
purse to pay the passage Of the family
back to Brooklyn.
When he left Porto Rico Mr.. Morri-
SON had FIVE children and no prospects.
After he found himself. with seven
children the Coamo's passengers,
among whom were Judge McKenna,
formerly district judge of Porto Rico,
and Judge Pettigill, United States dis
.trict attorney, presented the parents
with 5000.
