Dogs on leashes may go unmuzzled.
This is taken as a matter Of course at
the District building. Any dog which
walks out with it's master or mistress
and which is securely leashed need
have no muzzle-but should it by any
means gain it's liberty. both dog and
owner stand in danger of the penalty
Of the law.
The Washington Humane Society has
decided not to fight the muzzle order,
but will confine it's efforts to seeing
that muzzles are Of the proper kind.
Board to Pass on Muzzles.
Dealers. in dog muzzles will be OFFER
ed the opportunity Of placing their
wares before DR.. Woodward, to see
whether the muzzles are satisfactory
or not. and a board of experts has been
appointed to pass on the various points
The board consists of DR.. John p.
Turner Dr. r. r. Ashworth. veterina-
rians: Samuel Einstein, poundmaster.
and a representative Of the Washing
ton Humane Society, to be designated
later.
The muzzes submitted to the health
officer will be turned over to this board.
The idea of creating this board Is to
give every man who wants to do bust
ness in muzzles an opportunity to get
supply which will comply with the regu-
lations. Dealers who wish to get their
customers exactly what the law calls
for have been offered the services of TINS
board Of experts, and it is expected that
by this means there will be few :nisun-
derstandings.
Case of Rabies Established.
- The health officer has received re-
port on positive case of rabies from
the bureau Of animal industry that will
result in the quarantine or destruction

Killed by Policeman.
There was great excitement in South
west washington that afternoon, and,
after many calls, the desk sergeant OF the
fourth precinct sent Policeman Edward
T. Harvey in pursuit. The yellow dog
was overhauled near 1911 Az street and
shot The bureau of animal industry
has examined its brain and decides that
the animal was mad. At the health ONCE
IL was said today that all the ANIMALS
bitten would have to be quarantined for
year or destroyed.
The proclamation for muzzltng issued
two years ago was taken out and busted
this morning, and will be used intact for
the present situation. except that SIX
