Police Dogs.

New York has added a corps of dogs to
it's police department that they may aid
the biped sleuths in dogging the footsteps
of criminals 1t is thought that dogs have
4 keener scent in some cases than police
men. and there is no doubt that the ordi-
nary dog can run faster than fat po-
Iiceman. In fact a very ordinary dog can
do this. In jumping fences or other OBJ
structions dog will handle four feet
with "A higher degree of grace and deX-
terity than policeman-a New York po-
liceman-with two feet The dog is much
inclined to taking maps mot cat naps). but
he is more easily reused from his slumber
than polio oman is. Some dogs will sleep
" til one eye open and both ears advanced
When dog becomes filled with the idea
that man is criminal that man will
have trouble in converting the dog. When
a dog starts out To make trouble for a
man he is usually very serious about il
and has firm belief III the rectitude OF
his course. If he is the average sort of

Profitable DELAY.

BY refusing TO pass a temporary tracks
bill TO afford immediate relief to the pa
irons of the new Union station. the House
of Representatives yesterday administered
a rebuke to the District committee which
in all the circumstances, was amply de-
served The temporary tracks bill should
never have been drawn as separate
measure. An emergency existed, to be
sure. even as it continues today. But ii
was not such serious emergency as to
warrant the passage of bill authorizing
the construction of overhead trolley lines
on the plaza without in the same enact
ment specifically requiring their replace
mcnt at the earliest possible moment by
permanent conduit tracks.
There can be no doubt of the temper
OF the House .on this question. 1t is highly
gratifying to note that the lower branch
of Congress has so great a fear of the
nsidiouS overhead trolley. 1t is also graft
flying to note a disposition to require the
District committee to deal promptly with
such questions and to present results in
season for speedy work. Now If the
House on it's side should reinforce the
vigorous efforts of the District committee
when they are in evidence, by equally
brisk and business-iike ratification the
District will get results making for prog
ress and public convenience.
Regardless of the merits of yesterday $
debate and the importance of the mega
tite action recorded it is TO be deplored
that the first District day was shortened
by the interposing of a general speech on
the currency, apropos of nothing then
pnpdjnp no fore bp HauSp Il true that
probably there could have been no prac-
teal action on the trackage bill in ac-
cordance with the plainly indicated will OF
the House if there had been no such in
terruption. but the fact remains that the
District was cut short on the first day OF
the session set apart for the consideration
of its own business.
Two weeks must now elapse before ac-
ton can be had upon any measure for the
relief of the public. In these two weeks
it is earnestly To be hoped that the Dis
trict committee will find its way clear to
the Endorsement of the Gallnger bill, now
pending before it. Whether amended by
the addition of general legislation affect
ing fares or transfers. routes other
than those relating to the Union station
service. this measure affords the most
direct possible means of solving the prob
lem that past congressional dalliance witt
the subject has created. The loss of tive
weeks will not have been in vain If the
House on the 10th OF February passes
the Gallinger bill unamended, or will
changes which can be promptly adjusted
in conference. and avoids the serious
error of putting through temporary
tracl,c measure to be followed in the in
definite future by permanent bill.
