DOG MUZZLING
Law IS EFFECTIVE

The contract which the city has entered
into with the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals for the catching
and impounding OF unmuzzled dogs, Tor
seevral years has not yet been signed
by the mayor for this summer
Some persons seem to think that be-
cause the mayor has not signd tho con-
tract that the law is ineffective but such
is not the case The law is there, whether
anybody is collecting the unmuzled dogs
or not. Any person may have another per-
son arrested for allowing his dog TO run
at large without muzle, despite the
failure Of the mayor 20 sign a contract.
The mayor was not at his office to-day
nor could lie be found TO learn what he
proposed 10 do relative to the contract.

in COLLISION
Disaster Is Narrowly Averted When Steamers
Crash Off Coast of Massachusetts, Passen-

ONE VESSEL SINKS WHILE
HURRYING TO THE RESCUE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.---A sea
disaster was narrowly averted to-
day when an unknown vessel col
lided with the White Star liner
Republic, Captain Zelby, 20 miles
south of Nantucket.
The first reports received by
wireless at the Maritime Exchange
here from the revenue cutter Bal
tic creted fear that some of the
|211 steerage passengers were
drowned, but later messages say
they and the ESQ first class pas
|sengers are safe.
The Baltic was only a short dis
lance away when the accident &C.
Cured.
First reports said that the Re-
public was sinking, but later ad-
vices are to the effect that the YES
sci has been saved. The Republic
was starting on a Mediterranean
cruise when the accident occurred.
Complete details of the collision
are lacking.
