TO CURB POWERS
OF HUMANE SOCIETY
Horse Owners Protest
Cause of Recommendation
by Committee.

The full committee on law and leg
islauon of the Washington Chamber
Of Commerce viii meet at O'Clock
Friday afternoon to hear the report
Of its subcommittee, appointed some
time ago to draft a bill providing for
the prevention and punishment OF
cruelty 10 animals in the District
The subcommittee will meet at the
rooms of the chamber at $3.50 o'clock
and its recommendation will be ready
when the fun committee meets.
Police To Prosecute.
1t is understood that the subcom-
mittee will recommend that super
vision of all prosecutions for cruelty
10 animals be given to the Superin-
tendent of Police, Instead of to the
Washington Humane Society, as at
present. and that the present law be
amended so that no medal or prize
shall be given to any member of the
police force for activity in enforcing
the law. Another recommendation
VIII probably be that the fines accru-
ing from convictions for cruelty TO
animals, instead OF going into the
treasury Of the Humane Society shall
so 70 the courts as IN the case OF
other misdemeanors.
Action Follows Protest.
The question involved is one Of greatest
Importance to horse owners in the Dis
trict, and # was taken up BY the Cham
Der Of Commerce after vigorous pro-
test had been raised by them against
the methods pursued by the Humane
Society.
