DOGS MUST DIE
Sixty Police Differs Are Busy ExlerwiDaiIsg Tbem in New
 Yofk To-Day
HEALTH BOARDDECREE

New York, July 30.-Acting un- der orders of the. board of health 60 policemen have been busy for few days killing every dog that is found running at large without muzzle according to a statement made to- day by Walter Bensal, city sanitary superintendent
 The fact tat the dog was H. censed affords mo protection under this order. Itfesults from several cases of rabies which occurred in June.
 At that time an order was issued to kill all unn1uzzled and unleashed dogs but it's soperation was sus- pended owing to the protest of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals who contested the right of the health officers to order a general killing of dogs. A legal opinion sustained the action of the health officials and the order was put into effect without the knowl- edge of the Society for the Proven tion ofsCruelty to Animals and the police have been killing an average 'of 100 dogs per day for three days. A clash between the health officials and the dog protectors may result as the officials of the society claim that the owners of dogs have a right to redeem them when they are found running at large and the of fcials are taking legal advice to pre- vent the slaughter.

PEACE CONFERENCE
Three Bishops Attended inc Session To-Day and Made
 Addresses. z

London, July 30.-The Universal peace conference which is now in ses- sion in tEis city to-day received a deputation consisting of the bishop of Ripon, the bishop of Massachusetts and the bishop of Perth, Australia, who submitted resolution passed by the Lambeth conference as follows:
 That the Lambeth conference, while frankly acknowledging the moral gains sometimes won by war, rejoices in the growth of the higher ethical perceptions evidenced by the increasing willingness to settle diff | faculties among nations by peaceful methods. The resolution records the appreciation of the conference of the services rendered by the peace conference at The Hague, and con- cludes with these words:
 Finally, realizing the danger in- separable from national and conner cial progress it urges upon all Chris tian peoples the duty of allaying race prejudices, of reducing by peaceful arrangements the conflict of trade in- terests and the promoting among all races of brotherly love for the good of all mankind"
 The three bishops then briefly ad- dressed the conference. The bishop of Massachusetts said he believed America could be depended upon be- cause of her government and hel position to stand whatever she could stand with justice for international peace.
 After conveying its appreciation tc the three bishops the conference pass, ed a resolution thanking King Ed ward for having established prece' dent by receiving the delegates tc the conference in audience. Another resolution was passed expressing the opinion that for the moment a prac tical method to arrest the growth o ornaments would be. an agreemen, for short term of years not to ex ceed the average total expenditure fol army and navy made by each coun try during the period which haC elapsed between the holding of thu first and second Hague peace confer ence.

SKELETON FOUND
May Be That of Robert Perry Wbo Disappeared From
 Marion Years Ago
ON WOLCOTT HILLS

Wolcott, July 30.-The finding of a skeleton of man, which had long lain hidden in the bushes, discovered by berry pickers on the Wolcott mountain to-day, revives the story of what was thought to be murder by the people of Southington and Wol- colt. Four years ago Robert Perry who lived in Marion at the foot of the mountain, disappeared, after rec ceiving legacy of 1000 from Eng- land. Soon after his disappearance his wife left this place and has never been seen or heard of since. The peo- pie here were suspicious of the story told by the wife, which was to the effect that her husband had gone to England to claim more money and they searched for weeks all over the mountain for his body, but to no avail. Perry was employed by the Southington Water Co as caretaker. He is supposed to have come from c good family in England.

Inquest Into Hazel Drew's Death
 to Be Concluded.

Troy. N. Y., July 3O.-What IS expected to be the final session Of the inquest into the death of Ha- gel Drew, the young girl found in Teal pond July II, and believed to have been murdered. began at the court house here to-day. That Cor oner Strope will announce his find. ings tonight is confidently expect ed, but that anything new will be disclosed is scarcely believed. Some Is witnesses will be examined to-day by District Attorney o'Brien. One incident in connection with the trag- edy of which little has been known will receive a thorough investiga- tion. A certain camp situated near the mill pond where Hazel Drew was killed at which many peculiar en- tertainments were said to have been arranged by the owners alleged to ba prominent Albany men will be probed sharply by Mir 0'Brien. Whether or not this line of inves- tigation will shed any light on the killing of Hazel Drew is regarded as problematical.
