When | hear little children pleading
for permission to go out on the sidewalk
these warm evenings to enjoy outdoor fresh
air and play, my heart is filled with grief
to hear their mothers say, "My little dears,
mamma is afraid to let you go out on the
sidewalk for fear some little pet Fido may
bite you."
What a shame that so many of our
little children are deprived of the freedom
of our sidewalks on account of SO many
useless dogs that infest the great city Of
Chicago! Human safety and life should
be held far above dogs of all sorts.

New York, June 24.-After a day Of
conflicting statements, the district at-
torney's Office, acting under instructions
from Mr. Jerome and the police depart

Bingham, refused last night to discuss
further what progress has been made
In the search for Leon Ling, the China

reports Of clues from an parts Of the
country, but none Of them. on close ex-
animation, brings the authorities any
nearer the murderer.
What progress has been made with
Chung Sin, who underwent Yesterday
afternoon another four hours cross.ex-
animation at the hands Of Captain Cary
and his men of the homicide bureau
and Mr.. Ward Of the district attorneys
Office, is due as much as anything to the
Offices of Quon Yick Nam Chinese
merchant who volunteered a. an inter-

Chung Sin, with an earnestuess that
carried conviction, that RIO Chinese so
