were minors, to be paid to them until
they became of age

1t has been said that the United

that he will face the charges of his vile

Gould is equally emphatic in asserting
that she will conceal nothing and that
she will accept no settlement before the

THIS TEST A SUCCESS.
Humane Society Demonstrates That
Gas Is a Dog-KiIIer.

Another denonstra tfOn of the ef-
fciency of natural gas as method Of
destroying ownerless dogs was made
at the Myers planning mill this morn
ing under the direction OF Humane
Officer K W. King. The test was
made in the presence OF J. .. Young
a graduate veterinarian, Benjamin
Judkius, a representative Of the city
police force, and a number OF invited
spectators
The test was satisfactory in every
way and demonstrated the fact that
dogs may be disposed of in this way at
the minimum of cost TO the city and
without suffering to the victim. 1t
took Just a minute and one-half to dis
pose of the dog selected this morning
for the purpose of proving that his
fellows may escape from this world
without suffering.
The death chamber consisted of
box constructed for the purpose by
the planning mill company and was
80 inches long by 20 inches in depth
and 19 inches in width A portion OF
the top was of glass 50 that the actions
of the dog could be plainly observed
while the gas was allowed to flow into
the box through a three-quarter inch
pipe
The interior of the box was lined
with tar paper and was as nearly air
tight as it was possible to make it ur-
der the circumstances The victim
was placed in the box at % minutes
after 10 O'Clock and before the hands
had passed the fateful number the cur
was dead.

Committee Named to Promote Welfare
OF Government Employees.

New York, May 31--For the pur-
pose of improving the working con-
dftions of federal. state, and munich
pal employees. a national committee on
welfare work for government en-
ployes has been appointed by the Wei
fare Department of the National Civic
federation. Secretary of War William
H Taft is chairman of the committee,
of which Governor John w. B. Beck
ham of Kentucky. Mayor George w.
Guthrie of Pittsburg and William R.
WILCOX. postmaster of this city. are
chairmen.
OF the many improvements, the
need of which is Indicated by COM
plants of public employees, the We'll
fare department has paid consider
able attention to the establishing of
emergency hospitals in government
buildings
Many of the unfavorable conditions,
as has been shown repeatedly are due
to the fact that the business of the
government has doubled in some de-
partments within the last few years
