BAD FOR ANACOST1A DOGS.
Active Crusade to Be Inaugurated a
Once.

Capt. w Fl. Mathews commanding the
fifth precinct. has caused special instruc-
lions to be transmitted to the members
of the Anacostia police force to the effect
that they will be required to prosecute a
vigorous crusade against the unmuzzled
and the unlicensed dogs In that section of
the District. In his circular of instruc-
tons to the officers doing duty there Capt
Mathews points out that the owners of
dogs have had a full month In which to
procure licenses for their animals. while
the muzzling order has been in effect for
a longer period The officers are to be
assigned to separate districts for the
work In view, and, it is set forth to
them, they will be expected to take
prompt measures in every one of these
cases coming under their notice.
The work. 1t is explained is not to be
spasmodic. but continuous and effective.
The dog catchers visited this territory
yesterday. but captured only a few dogs.
Subsequently Mr.. Riley of Poundmaster
Einstein's force complained to the local
police that a number Of citizens, whose
names he recorded had refused to give
up dogs when requested to do so. and
that some had gone so far even as to
threaten his men and had acted in a
disorderly manner. Lieut.. w. T. Ander-
sons men are going to take up these in
stances cited by Mr.. Riley at once and
learn what action can be taken against
the citizens in question.

At Glen Echo.

The interest of the general public in
aerial navigation is said to be attracting
large numbers to the Ferris wheel at
Glen Echo Park lately. But whether 1t
be that or the desire to reach up after
the cool breezes which are supposed to
circulate in the upper strata, the wheel
as a center of attraction. There are
other things than the Ferris wheel at

their patrons during these warm nights
