EACH SIDE HOPEFUL.
Speaker Clark and Republican Leader
Issue Statements.

Washington, Aug. 23.-As congress
adjourned Speaker Clark and Repre-
sentative Mann, minority leader of the
house, made statements In which each
declared that the special session had
aided his party.
Champ Clark, speaker of the house
"At this session the Democrats have
made @ record which has surprised our
friends and dumfounded u enemies
II has put heart and hope into Demo
Gratis everywhere. The extra session
was extraordinary not only in the
sense of being q special session called
by the president, but also In the
amount and quality of work lone In
the house by the combined Democrats
and insurgents and the combined Dem
ocrats and Republican insurgents In
the senate. and especially by the unan'
unity OF action developed by the houss
Democrats"
James r. Mann, Republican leader
of the house:
THE special session was called by
the president in the fulhllment of the
obligations Of his agreement with Can
ada to consider and pass upon the
Canadian reciprocity bill. The bill
passed and has become a law. The
In the house would have
been wise If they had confined the spe-
,ial session TO the consideration of the
reciprocity bill only. Instead Of that
hey set out to show how they could
1ungle legislation"

POLICE TALK ON
DOC SHOOTING
Declare They Do 1t Only as
an Accommodation.

That police officials are not COM
PEELED to shoot dogs or any other
kind of animals. but simply do so
for the accommodation of the pub
lie was the statement made today
by Sergeant Clarkson Durham, now
acting chief of the police depart
ment. Sergeant Durham said there
was nothing in the police rule book,
neither is there any ordinance that
DEGREES that policemen shall shoot
dogs or any other animals. He said
they are detailed to do such acts for
accommodation, as many persons do
not own fire arms and many would
rather not kill an animal.
If complaints result such as h
one published yesterday, the police
may refuse to extend such accom-
mediation in the future, some OF
them say. In that instance Patrol
man Tonnesen was criticised for
shooting an afflicted dog on lower
Catalpa avenue, below Lewis street.
He was accused of shooting it be-
fore a crowd of children and Of nav
ing poor aim. He denies the accu-
sations and laughs at his accusers.
He made the following statement
this morning regarding the case:
Relative to a communication
signed Interested" published in
the EVENING NEWS yesterday, /
would say that the facts therein
were vastly misquoted. To this Jo-
seph McCreery, at whose request /
shot the dog because 1t suffered
from an affliction, and his son, the
only persons near when I killed the
dog, will no doubt testify.
1.-THE dog was being kept at Mr..
McCreery's home at 1872 Catalpa
emu Because there was no
suitable place in his rear yard
on lower Catalpa avenue in a sparse
ly populated space, about 800 feet
south of ]. c. Rossi's home and
there shot. The dog, a small one,
died almost instantly after the first
shot, but for precaution, as is the
custom, ! fired two more shots. Mr.,
McCreery complimented me for my
Workmanship. He buried the car
cass of the dog.
q shot the dog at Mr.. McCreerys
request, for the benefit of him and
the neighborhood, because a veteri-
nary surgeon had pronounced 1t to
be on the verge of madness. There
Is no ordinance, as ! understand 1t,
that compels policemen to shoot
dogs"
