sentatives of the French laundries of
San Francisco to the number of thirty.

the purpose of cooperating with the
anti-Japanese league in combating the
large increase In Japanese competition
in the laundry business. which has
been encountered recently.
President McMann Of the league. adj
dressed the laundry owners, and
among other things said that during
the last two years the Japanese laun-
drymen in San Francisco have in
creased their business fully 100 per
cent at the expense of the French
laundries principally.
The method of combating the new
competition is to employ agents to
discover the people who are employ
ing Japanese and go to them and make
an appeal to their national pride and
to point out the danger that Is alleged
to lurk in Japanese work.
The Japanese, it is said, lower the
prices until the other laundrymen
would have to descend to their meth
DDS in manners of living If they would
compete in figures.
An organization was effected and
committee appointed to attend a meet
ing of the league and proceed to

EXPECT MUCH FROM
RIFLE TOURNAMENT I
state Association Has Laid Out Highly
Attractive Program for Forth
coming Meeting on Sea
GIrt Range
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SEA GIRT RANGE. N. J., Aug. 23.-
OF scarcely less Importance to the mill
tary world than the great national
matches now in progress at Camp FER
ry, o., are those which will take place
at Sea Girt, N. j., from September
to 12 inclusive. The Sea Girt range
has always been Mecca for ambitious
marksmen, and this year a program
has been arranged which for at
tractiveness compares favorably with
any ever shot. During the eighteen
years of it's existence the New Jersey
State Rifle association has accumu-
lated a number of cups and trophies,
and it's strong financial backing en-
ables it to give the largest number
of cash prizes offered by any state
association.
Its tournament will be this year, as
for many years past under the per-
sonal supervision of General Bird w.
Spencer, so long president of The Ma
tional Rifle association, who VIII be
executive officer of the meeting. In
addition to the New Jersey matches
those of the New York State Rifle as
sociation and the United States Re-
volver association will be held at the
same time The range at Sea Girt has
been extended and improved, reduced
railroad rates have been secured and
q large attendance is guaranteed.
The most important match will be for
the Dryden trophy, a magnificent piece
of bronze, presented by former Senator
Dryden, to be competed for by teams
of eight from the same branches of the
military service eligible to the national
trophy match. 1t is shot at 200, 600
and 1000 yards. The trophy carries
with it cash prizes of from $50 to $780,
The interstate regimental match for
the Briggs trophy, presented by Sena-
tor Briggs of New Jersey, will be shot
at the same distance by teams Of six.
With the trophy goes a medal to each
man on the winning team with cash
prizes to the second, third and fourth
teams.
AS a general proposition the sea girt
matches for individuals are open to
civilians as we'll as military men, thus
providing for larger field and more
interesting competition than would
otherwise be the case. Prominent
among these is the Sea Girt champion
ship match for a medal presented by
Governor Fort of New Jersey, accom-
panied by line of cash prizes. AM
other is the Individual rapid fire match
at 300 yards in which the competitors
are permitted to fire as many shots as
possible in one minute. This will pro-
vide an interesting test for the new
Springfield rifle.

BIG POLICEMEN HAVE
HOT FIGHT WITH DOG
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-Five
burly policemen fought ror half an
hour today with a cur dog that had
taken refuge in the second story OF a
building on Turk street, occupied by
former City Treasurer Charles H.
Bantel.
The dog was presumed to be suffer-
ing from hydrophobia, and before tax
ing to the stairway of the Bantel place
had caused several persons to flee for
their lives in great terror.
The policemen, armed with revolvers,
clubs and gunnysacks, chased the dog
to the second story of the building, af-
ter the proprietor of the bakery be-
low had taken refuge in his bake oven
and the others in the place had fed
screaming to places of safety
After the policemen arrived on the
scene, in answer to a riot CALL and
sized up the situation parley was
held to decide which should have the
honor of entering the room where the
dog was. All five declined the honor
in turn, and finally Sergeant Christian-
sen climbed to the roof and lowered
rope through the skylight and lasooed
the dog. He was dragged out into the
open and shot. There is some question
yet whether the dog was really mad or
not. but there is no doubt regarding
the proprietor of the bakery.
