CRUSADE PLANNED
BY "DOGGONE CLUB"
Citizens of Southeast VIII
Rescue Homeless CANNES
From the Pound Pen.

Make way fer the "Doggone Club"
Citizens Of the southea section OF
the city propose to come to the rescue
of all the bow-wows gobbled up by the
dog wagon officers and tossed into the
pound.
There will be an indignation meeting
at the drug store Of Guy NJ. Medley,
PAS Eleventh street southeast, at 1880
o'clock tomorrow night, when the sit
uation will be talked over and the
"Doggone Club" formally launched.
The object of the CLUB is to get after
the persons who framed up the recent
muzzle and tax law with a big stick,
and, II possible. bring what the mem
bers consider the unlawful capture Of
dogs to the attention Of the courts.
According to Mr.. Neeley the real bone
of contention lies in the fact that south
east section dogs have been the victims
Of circumstances. For instance: a dog
walking out on the street not accom-
panied by his owner is liable to lose
his muzzle or his license tag, and if
the pound man spots him in this cOndi-
ton, it's a free ride in the wagon.
The owner may discover his loss that
night, visit the pound, prove beyond
reasonable doubt his property, show
receipt for the license tag and talk
until he gets black in the face, but there
Will be nothing doing.
The dog catchers acting within their
rights cannot permit untagged or un-
mUZzled dogs that have been captured
TO leave the pound The dog owner may
claim that when he saw the dog Iast
the animal was sealed and tagged
according 10 law, that some miscreant
took the tag or muZZle, and that IL
was not his fault. Just what action
can or viii be done IS prOblematiCal.
and the meeting tomorrow night prom
Uses to be lively.
Already Mr.. Neeley has a petition
signed by eighty-tive citizens of the
southeast section, all OF whom have
promised 20 be on hand and tell their
troubles. Besides Mr.. Neeley those
most prominent are O. 9. Ryan, 3l4
First street southeast; 4. l.. Lucas, 20
lice station No. ;; 7. o. Crown, 1913 b

against it thus the majority lacked
one vote of the necessary two-thirds
The result was a hard blow to the
prohibitionists and what step viii now
be taken is question. The resolu
ton passed by the house is in the sen
ate judiciary committee. that commit
tee having reported the measure vot
ed upon yesterday in its stead and
many are of the opinion that It is the
end of the matter SO far as this ses
sion is concerned
Governor Dawson favors the enact
ment of a stringent local option Law
and he stated that he was seriously
considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF calling
an extraordinary session Immediately
upon the adjournment of the special
session for the purpose of enactine
local -eption Legislation. The govern
or, however, has not fully determined
upon his course in this matter. 1t Il
understood to be the program with
the leaders in both houses for the
present session to be brought to q
close not later than the last OF next
week, and every effort is being exert
ed to rush matters with that end In
view.

MARS AND ITS CLIMATE.

III ms recent leCture IN LONDON SIT
David Gill presented certain facts
which bear on theperenmal question
of the habitability of Mars. II the
planet has inhabitants In whom we
could feel interest, 1t would seem that
they must require conditions OF at
mosphere. moisture and temperature
not wholly unlike those OF the earth.
As respects atmosphere, Sir David
finds that Mars has very little. If one
may Judge by the suddenness with
which stars disappear when occulted
by it. Traces of aqueous vapor have
been detected. as also triaing
amount Of cloud. It follows that the
climate OF Mars - much colder than
ours. Our atmosphere helps to keep
us warm. Mars on the other hand,
not only has a much rarer atmos-
phere, but also receives less heat fros.

earth An evidence OF the cold Isl
seen in the snowcaps AT the poles OF

frozen carbonic acid As this eonsfi
tuent of our atmosphere requires for
freezing a temperature far below zero
its solid condition in a.ars seems to
indicate a climate when makes life
as we know it. impossible there. As
for the canals Of Mars. first de-
scribed by SchfapareIli lin 1870, It is
pointed out that the word canal =
used by schiaparelli, means not
canals, but channels or ho'lows The
translation of the word canal by
canals naturally Led people to assume
the existence OF inhabitants TO make
them As the best telescope would
not show a camel less than 20 mics
wide, it is evident that the people OF
Mars, il they exist and dig canals,
like these waterways abnormally
large The Panama canal, which con-
sumes the resources OF a nation OF
S6,000,000 people is nothing in com
parison with the alleged system of the
Martians. The doubling if hines seen
by Schiarapareld and Lowell. Sir
David believes to be merely the doub
lie image seen by the eye when strain
ed to see something invisible. Dis
proof of the existence of canals
would not prove the nonexistence Of
living creatures of some sort in Mars
however. improbable their existence
may be.
Excepting Mercury. Mars is the
smallest of the primary planets. and
its mean distance from the sun is
l41 100000 miles. 1t rotates on It's
axis in little over "a hours and cir

Al IL days. In 1877 its two moons
were discovered, and it is remarkable
that Swift, in "Gulliver's Travels,
credited their discovery to the people
of I.aputa and gave their periods of
revolution-30 and 7 ID hours, re-
