HUMANE SOCIETY MEETING.
Review Of Work Done the Past Year
REPORTS Read.

The Humane Society held a meeting last
evening and was well attended. Miss
Harriet B. Loring, on behalf of the commit
tee on fountains, reported that during the
past month two additional drinking foun-
tains for animals had been erected, one on
the Bladensburg road and one near Nc
Pherson Circle. These were two of the
twelve fountains donated by Mrs. William
E. Chandler last year.
A review of the work done during the
month of January shows that the record Of
the society for efficient work established
last year is being maintained. During the
month OF January 2,4s6 animals were ex-
amined by the agents and 1919 cases Of
cruelty prosecuted in the Police Court. OF
these four were for allowing horses that
had been clipped to stand in the streets ex-
posed to the cold and snow without blan-
keting, and one was for neglecting to
properly feed and bed couple Of horses.
This was a.case of exceptional cruelty, the
owner allowing the horses to stand in the
stable from Friday until discovered by the
agent on Monday, without feed, bedding or
water, during which time they had eaten
every thing and were gnawfng at the
woodwork Of their stalls.
The hour of meeting of the committee
was changed from 4:4b pm. to IL Noon the
first Monday in each month.

TWO MILES FROM A HOUSE.
on the Roaming of Sheep
in Idaho.

The owners Of sheep in Idaho cannot let
them run within two miles of a human habi-
tation according to a decision rendered in
the Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday. The opinion was by Justice
McKenna, and was handed down in the
case of Ormsby & Bown VS.. Enos c. Wall
ing, all of Idaho The suit was instituted
by Walllng, who complained that, contrary
to the state law compelling sheep herders
to keep their stock away from private resi-
dences, Ormsby & Bown had allowed a
herd of 5000 owned by them TO come within
the protected area, much to the injury of
the range He asked FEY damages, and the
state courts awarded them.
The case is a recent one. but it aroused
recollections of a time when the feeling be-
tween the cattle and sheep men was in
tense. When the trial was in progress in
Idaho some apprehension was expressed
that it might cause a revival of the old
time enmities. and the member of the state
supreme court who prepared the court s
opinion in the case said that even If his
judgment was favorable to the sheep men
he would not take the chances on reopen
ing the controversy by declaring in their
favor. Justice Mckenna's opinion affirmed
the state courts decision, thus upholding
the constitutionality of the law. Justices
Brewer and Peckham dissented.-

Alleged Confusion Of Lights.

Those who navigate steamers on the Po-
tomae at night, particularly in the early
part. are commenting on the fact that two
lights are now apparently being shown
from the lighthouse on Jones Point, below
Alexandria, to vessels approaching it from
this city. The usual red light in the Ian
tern of the light station is seen. and a foot
or two below II, in a direct line down from
the red light, a brilliant white light ap-
pears. 1t is supposed that the white light
comes from window of room in the
lighthouse on the north side, but this is the
frst time the white light has ever shown.
though the lighthouse has been used as a
dwelling by the keeper for many years
past The light is confusing to vessel mas
tiers making them think that there is a YES
sci between them and the light and ii is
stated that the attention of the lighthouse
authorities will be called to the matter.

A CURRENCY CONFERENCE
Senators Crane and Aldrioh Called
to the White House.
The President Was Advised That Great
Caution Was Essential In Dealing
With Financial Situation.

Washington, Dec. A conference
was held at the White house Tues
day evening between the president and
Senators Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and
Crane, of Massachusetts, on the sub
ject of currency legislation. The presi
dent called In these two leading sen
ators In order that he might have
their views concerning the many pro
positions that have been made to him
during the last several weeks in favor
Of plans for relieving the currency
stringency under such circumstances
as has occurred recently. Senator AL
drich stated at the conclusion of the
conference that nothing definite had
been decided upon.
The president has been In receipt
of many communications from all
parts of the country urging him to
recommend special plans for reliev-
ing the money stringency and his chief
purpose in the conference Tuesday
night seemed to be to discuss the
principal suggestions that have been
made to him. He outlined many OF
these suggestions and Senator Aldrich
gave his views freely on all of them.
He explained to the president OBJ
stacles to various proposed measures,
and particularly impressed upon him
the necessity for careful consider
alton of the subject. He showed that
II an emergency arises 1t will be
necessary to carefully guard the Sc
curity that should be given for such
currency as may be issued. He ex-
planned that If 1t is left to the bankers
in various communities to decide when
to put out emergency circulation,
there will be difficulties ahead Of
very serious nature. 1t would also
be necessary to provide conditions un-
der which such emergency circulation
should be called In. Without such
precautions, question would arise
whether the treasury department or
the bankers or both had the power to
put out and withdraw emergency cir
culation.
An interesting phase Of the confer
ence was that the president himself
had no particular plan to urge

Commercial Failures.

New York, Dec. 4.-Commercial
failures in the United States during
the month of November, according to
statistics compiled by R. G. Dun & Co.
were 1880 in number and $17,6S7 oil
in amount OF defaulted indebtedness
This is a decrease of about $1O,OOO,0OO
In liabilities as compared with the
failures in October and slightly small
er than the figures for September, in
dicating that the situation is improv-

crease as compared with the 1856 fall
ures in November, 1906, when liabili'
ties amounted to $11,9SO,7S2.
