Dogs Fifty Cents Each.

All visions of a vivisectiOn story were
inspired by the letter to the District Com
miSsioners from Prof. A. d. Melvin, chief
of the bureau of animal industry, which
obviously referred to prior correspondence
in the same matter, as it read, in part, as
follows:
"Gentlemen-I beg to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 9Th instant,
informing me that the Commissioners
had passed an order, authorizing the
poundmaster to sell to the bureau dogs
at not less than so cents each, for use
in research work.
ALSO between July 1, 1903, and May
IS, 1910, seventy-seven examinations
were made of the brains of dogs wEich
of being affected with rabies. These
examinations, when made at private
laboratories, usually cost SO each.
Minimum Price Quoted.
Following this was a letter to DR.. Mel
vim written by DR.. William Tindall. Sec
rotary of the board of Commissioners,
carrying out a recommendation of Com
missioner Johnston. DR.. Tindalrs letter
read as follows:
Dear Sir: The Commissioners of the
District of Columbia have the honor to
state, in further response to your letter
OF the 10Th luStauIs WIN reference u
the order authorizing the poundmaster
to sell dogs to the bureau of animal
industry that they fully appreciate the
bureaus work, but as, under the law, i'm
pounded dogs must be sold or destroyed
by the poundmaster the Commissioners
placed at minimum the price on dogs
to be sold to it,
If the bureau of animal industry is
to obtain live dogs from the District
pound. probably it will be Tor the pur-
pose of making Investigations along
the line of animal pathology, particu-
larly rabies,'' said Charles c. Carroll
chief clerk of the bureau, this after
noon.
Il have heard nothing official in re-
gard to the matter howe fer" contin-
ued Mr.. Carroll. Il saw report pub
lished to the effect that the District
Commissioners would allow the dogs to
be sold to the bureau at 80 cents a
head, but that is all I know Of the
matter
'I do not believe that any of the dogs
will be vivisected. II the bureau takes
them. Germs will probably be injected into
them, however, and experiments made to
obtain cures for animal diseases"
Poundmaster Einstein said that, so far.
he has received no orders to send live
dogs to the bureau of animal industry.
1.-The only dogs I send to the bureau
now are dead animals which have been
suspected Of having hydrophobia," said
the poundmaster.
He said that he had heard the report
that the bureau was to buy dogs from
the pound at 80 cents head. however.

The mere mention of the word dogs"
at the District building yesterday
was sufficient to send shivers of fright
along the spinal columns of seventy
seven subordinate officials within diff
ferent departments of the big marble
/ pile.
In the health office. for example,
where immediate jurisdiction is held
over the doings at the pound. whole
file of correspondence in the case was
dragged before the gaze of the news
paper persons, only to be as hurriedly
dragged back again. The only glimpse
permitted was one which brought to
light a bright red-ink line, which read:
Not for publication
That ended the investigation at the
health office. There was strictly moth
ing more doing
Paper Taken Away.
Subsequently in the executive Office
there were repeated declarations that the
original paper could not have been seen
by any one In said executive office, be-
cause the negro messenger, who is in
charge of papers in transit, had declared
that he left the document exposed for not
one single instant. 1t happened that the
messenger in question was mistaken, be-
cause the whole muss was started when
one inquisitive newspaper person happen
ed to stumble over the papers in the case
on one of the desks where news matter
is usually sought.
1t happened also that the reporter turn
ed away for a moment. Upon his return
the paper had disappeared.
The pursuit of the documents began
in earnest this morning. 1t was not until
the consent of Commissioner Johnston
had been secured by telephone that the
letters desired were brought out of the
files.
