A M|SCREANT
CUT HANDSOME
SHOW WINDOWS
SEVERAL PALAFox STREET
MERCHANTS FOUND YEsTER-
DAY MORNING THAT SOME
PARTY HAD BEEN PRAcTIcING
WITH GLASS CUTTER AT THEIR
PLACES OF BUSINESS.

When a number Of Palafox street
merchants reached their places of
business yesterday morning they
found that during the night some mis-
creant had been practicing on their
expensive plate glass windows with a
glass cutter. supposed to have been a
diamond cutter, from the smooth cuts
made on the windows.
The perpetrator of this mischief,
evidently, just walked along the street
cutting the show windows as he pass
ed. as all Of them were on the same
side of the street, the west side. 1t
is not thought that the person who
cut the glasses had any intention of
burglary, as none of them were cut
clear through, but were simply CASH
ed, as though the work were done for
meanness.
The police department was notified
yesterday morning, but, although the
police were on the lookout all day for
some clue as to the identity Of the
perpetrator, no trace of him had been
found at a late hour last night.

UTAH DEFEATS
!. NJ. c. A. TEAM
IN BASKETBALL
FAST AND sNAPPY CONTEST
WITNESSED BY A MEDIUM
SIZED AUDIENCE AT THE Asso.
CATION BUILDING.

Before a medium sized crowd, due to
the inclement weather, the bluejackets
took the Y. NJ. G. A. team on board
last night to the tune oof % to %. It
was fast and snappy contest, and
kept the audience on edge from start
to finish.
At the end of the first half, the locals
had the big end of a 13 to score, and
were somewhat pleased and confident.
The lineup of the home team was
changed somewhat. Phillips and Fickas
taking forwards.
The visitors began the second half
with some fresh men, and a rush. AL
though a little tougher than the locals
were accustomed to, they showed bet
ter team work and passing ability
than in the first half. Their persistent
fast playing disorganized the hitherto
good team work Of the Y. NJ. C. A.
team, and in the last few minutes OF
play, the bluejackets tossed enough
baskets to win the game.
In this half, Huston, forward of the
visitors, made seven field goals for
fourteen points. His work at basket
shooting was excellent. though he did
not get goal in the first half.
Olsen did good work for the locals
The team needs more practice together
and will give a good account of them
selves later on.

1000. 900 TONS OF COAL
 SAVED BY FALLING WATER
Without Damage to the Scenic Beauty of Niagara, Electrical Power is Developed for Surrounding
 Country

Niagara Falls, N. Y., Nov. 22.-In view of the widespread movement for the conservation of natural resources some figures given out by the Com merce Commission of this city, about power development along the Niagara River, are significant.
 By the use of only the excess flow of water-without damage to the ap- pearance of the Fal's-power equival- ent to that produced by 6,700,000 tons of coal is turned out every year on the Niagara river. As 6,700. 900 tons would cost about $18,959, 1000, the utiliza ton by the water for power represents an annual saving of that amount of money.
 The quantity of water that can be used for power is limited by law and international treaty, so that there is no danger of damage to the scenic beauty of Niagara. The restrictions are such that only very small pro- portion of the total flow can be used. The power concerns are also CO., operating with the Canadian and New York State Governments to make and keepfthe shore lines beautiful
 Of course it is out of question that the nation will ever permit Niagara s waters to be converted into electricity grandeur of the Falls would be af- fected. But calculation of the potential energy of this great cataract is Illuminating as to the vast water power wealth now going to waste in this country. Figured in the cost of coal that could be saved, the total amount of water running over thu Falls represents an annual flood of S203,1 5000 and yearly consump- tion of 71,2S0,000 tons of coal. In a period of ten years the total power of Niagara would be worth $2,O31.- 4S0,000.

NEW LEGISLATION REGARDING DOCS
Trespass and Tort Are Good De.
 lenses in Lawsuits

Because of the liability that had heretofore attached to all dog owners, many had refrained from keeping dogs as under the law there was no way by which owners could free themselves of liability for the damage that the dog might do, especially when the damage by the dog was to the person or the property of another. The last Legis- iature has materially changed that.
 Section 10 of the dog law of 1907 fixed it so that there was not much chance of an owner evading liability. The section read: When any dog shall do any, damage, either to the body or property of any person, the owner or keeper. or. if the owner or keeper be minor, the parent or guardian of such minor, shall be liable for such damages" 2
 Heretofore when a dog owner had been sued because of damage which lawyer, he would be advised to settle, and if settlement could not be reach ed on what was considered satisfac- tory terms, the effort, if the case ever got to trial, would be to keep down the amount of damages which were sure to be awarded. but now the dog owner has fighting chance of sue cess in defending a dog case. In the dog law passed by the Legislature of 1911, the law makers took section 10 from the law of 1907, embodied 1t In it's entirety in the law of 1911, but amend ed it by adding the following words except where such damage shall have been occasioned to the body or proper ty of a person who at the time such damage was sustained, was commit ting a trespass or other tort.'' "A trespass" in the law, may be taken to mean when the person damaged in his property or person is on the land of another, but the words t'other tort" have a different meaning. Under this interpretation the dog owner on the trial may claim that the person was abusive in language not only to the owner personally. but to the dog, and the interpretation which some lawyers have given to the statute is that the "tort" need not necessarily be on the property of the owner of the dog to enable the owner to set up the "tort" as a defense to the action. This amendment to the dog law is expect ed to make a material change in the defense of all litigation over dogs in the future.
