DOG OFFICER TO SUE
WOMEN FOR SANDER
MRS. GEESE TO BE DEFENDANT
IN 100000 CASE
Former Poundmaster Alleges Leader
of Reform Crusade Has Libeled
Him-Charge of Misrepre-
sentation Filed

-Four suits for damages aggregating
5000, 900 will be filed against Mrs. l..
e. Gfese by George Vacher and his
son Tom as soon as the papers can
be Drepared. according to statement
made by Wallace W. Wideman, at
torney for the Vachers. The suits Will
allege libel and SANDER and are based
on documents presented to the city
council and the police commission.
When the crusade against the old
pernicious system of dog catching was
at its height last summer Mrs. Glese
was one of the foremost leaders in
the demand for change in the sys-
tenn. With her demand for change
in the system Mrs. Giese also made
complaints against the Vachers, who
were then conducting the dog pound.
In a complaint filed with the council
she charged that George Vacher, who
was poundmaster. and his son, Tom,
had profted illegally by catching dogs
at Santa Ana and turning the scalps
into the city, collecting the dollar bouu-
ty She also alleged that the Nachers
were habitual drunkards.
Several petitions of this nature We're
found. One of them bore the signature
of F. J. Purdy and others. When Mr..
Wideman looked for this petition in
the archives yesterday he declared that
it had been removed. He found the
cover of the petition, but the petition
itself could not be found. He is at a
loss to account for this disappearance.
Saturday Mrs. Giese filed a complaint
with the police commission asking that
the commission of special policeman
held by Tom Vacher be revoked on the
ground that it was secured by fraud
and misrepresentation. Mrs. Giese al
legged that Tom Vacher had not been
appointed deputy poundmaster by
George L. Lawson, although he had
made such a representation to the
city clerk and had been sworn in on
this representation. An affidavit made
by Lawson accompanies this complaint,
in which Mrs Giese's statement is sup
ported Mr. Wideman claims he can
prove Tom Vacher was appointed dep
uty poundmaster by Lawson.

JAPANESE RESTAURANTS
SELL LIQUOR ILLEGALLY
None of the Places Ralded Sunday
Have Licenses to Serve
Drinks

Not one of the Japanese restaurants
raided by the police Sunday night for
selling liquor illegally had a restau-
rant liquor license and under the law
had no right to sell liquor either with
or without meals.
No restaurant liquor license is held
by any japanese restaurant, accord
ing to the record of such permits on
file with the police commission. Three
Chinese restaurants have this privilege
and pay the city the regular fee of
SIS a month for the license.
AS the raided places hold no con-
cession from the police commission,
that body has no jurisdiction and there
is nothing for the commission to do in
connection with the cases.
