Brothers Carrying Meat
Home Victims Of Animals
In New York Street.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Andrew Flood
ten, and his six-year-old brother, Rich
ard, were walking through East lSoth
street last night, hurrying TO their home
at 303, when two big dogs began snarl-
ing at their heels.
The boys had been to the butcher s
and were taking meat home. Ihe
younger boy carried the meat. SUD
denly one Of the dogs. which seemed
to be a cross between a st. bernard
and a mastifr. leaped at the boy. AS
he was hurled to the pavement tne
meat fell from his arm. The dog seized
It and was off.
The second dog. big cur, leaped on n
the fallen child. The boy kicked at II
and the dog buried its fangs in his arm:
The little chap continued to fight, but
as he kicked and hit out with his free
hand the dog tore the flesh Of the arm.
A crowd gathered. but none dared go
to the rescue Of the child. The dog
seemed to tire of tearing the arm, and
unfastening his grip he dug his teeth
into the boys stomach and was drag
gtng him about the sidewalk, shaking
him and growing.

GLEN ECHO'S NEW
POLICE DEPARTMENT
IS FACING ARREST
Constable Shaw Not To Let
Marshal Darling Take
His Place.

Trouble exists in Glen Echo's police
department" Constable Walter Shaw
asserts he is the department-chief OF
police, captain, lieutenant, sergeant,
traffic squad, and pavement FOUNDER;
in fact the whole thing. But Mayor
Louis J. Witkowski has seen fit to
create a new police department by
swearing in Philip Darling, of Wash
ington, as marshal. And the new de
partment" has waved the red flag in
the face of the old department" by
announcing that its policy would be
to wipe out the "mashers" in Glen
Echo Park.
Now, Shaw" said Shaw, calling q
meeting of his department" you
have preserved the morals of this
municipality, you have seen 1t
through a war for water when there
was no water, and you are capable Of
handling the situation at present.
Arrest Is Ordered.
Therefore, you shall proceed to ar
rest the new police department. as
soon as it attempts to exercise the
authority vested in it by the mayor,
which has been not approved by the
council"
The entire Shaw department"
agreed with the Shaw policy.
Constable Shaw asserts that "the
would-be deputy marshal will be ar
rested the instant he represents him
self as an officer" He says he is able
to handle the Glen Echo situation
alone
Mr.. Darling was at the park last
night" said Mr.. Shaw, "and l followed
him around to see whether he would
attempt to show any authority. l was
at Rockville yesterday for a conference
with States Attorney Waters, and l
am satisfied that Darling'S commission
as given by the mayor is invalid. The
mayor has the right 10 appoint a mar
shall, but the appointment must have
Gil will never approve the mayors ap-
pointment, and l will arrest Darling.
regardless Of the fact he is a cowboy,
If he attempts to make any arrests"
Water Situation Same.
The water situation IN Glen Echo re-
mains unchanged. Councilman Daniel
opening up springs close to the reser-
vcir, but the ground is SO dry that the
water seeps away before II reaches the
supply basin. A good rain, 1t is be-
lieved. would materially remedy this
condition Mayor Witkowski and his
family have moved to Washington un-
til they can get relief from the present
situation.
1t is apparent that there will be
enough officers to make arrests in case
the management of Glen Echo Park
carries out its threat to open next Sum-
day in defiance of the blue laws. Il
will arrest every proprietor and every
employe on the grounds" assured
Constable Shaw this morning.

| The building industry committee or
the Chamber of Commerce, within Few
days, will call upon the District Com
missioners and request that thirty days
| notice hereafter be given of any pro-
posed change in the building rules Of
the District. If the Commissioners do
not see fit to comply with the commit
tees request, the appeal will then be
| taken to the District Committees Of the

Authority for such action was granted

already refused the personal request Of
Mr.. Daniel, he told the directors, to
change their method Of promulgating

present method as unjust and dangerous
to the property interests of the District,
explaining that one Commissioner had
practically the law-making power SO far
as the building laws of the District were
concerned. He pointed out that without
moments notice, without any oppor-

change in the building regulations he

over buildings, and that such board be

The directors then voted unanimously to

A new suggestion for a memorial to
Lincoln was brought before the direc-

that the Chamber indorse to President

Galliher being the only one who did
consultation of minutes of previous
