DOGS AND MEAT

Prof. Russell II. Chittenden head Of the
Sheffield Scientific School, at Yale Univer-
sity, has proved that meat is not neces-
sary to the life Of "A dog. He has just con-
oluded a years experiment on canine nu-
triton, dcprlving the dogs Of all meat or
protled food, and feeding them on vege.
table on starchy food
Tho dogs showed no los of energy
strength or vitality at the end OF their
dieting. The experiments are believed TO
have demonstrated that the dog is by no
means exclusively a carnivorous animal.
Professor Chittenden two years ago kept
squad Of 20 United States soldiers on
starchy food for 10 months to prove that
they were better off with no meat foi
food.

KILLS "AFFINlTY'
MARRIED MAN. SuSPEcTlNG A
RIVAL, STAYS GIRL.
I'M PREVENTS SUICIDE
VICTIM
100000 Under the Will of
Her Father.

New York, \. Y Draga oiegel,
ter of a colonel of the Austrian army,
now dead, was fatally shot Wednes-
day night by julius Hoffman, Il mar
ried man and formerly a lieutenant OF
Col. Seigel's regiment. The tragedy
was the outcome of jealousy on the
part of Hoffman, who, after shooting
Miss Seigel, tried to shoot himself,
but was prevented by the dying girl.
Hoffman and his wife came to
America in January, 1906, and the lat
ter worked as a dressmaker in this
city. Soon afterwards Miss Seigel,
who had lived with the Hoffmans in
Austria after her fathers death, came
to New York.
The wife three months ago began
divorce proceedings and instituted a
snit against Miss Seigel for SIS, 600
damages for alternating the affections
of her husband.
Recently Hoffman suspected that he
had a rival in the young woman's af-
fections and Wednesday went to her
apartment, demanding that she tell
him the name of the man who had
supplanted him in her life. Miss
Seigel protested that she lovesl only
Hoffman. After threatening her with a
pistol for half an hour, Hoffman shot
Miss Seigel twice and as he told the
police, placed the muzzle of the pis-
tol in his mouth. intending to kill
himself. Before he could pull the
trigger, he says Miss Seigel sprang
upon him to stop him and in the strug-
gle that ensued the pistol was dis
charged and the bullet lodged in Miss
Seigel's head, infiicting a mortal
wound.
Miss Seigel was taken to a hospital
still declaring her love for Hoffman.
She would have come into an inheri-
lance of 500, 900 a year hence.
