DOGS PER MITTED
TO RUN AT LARGE
This Is in Violation of Statutes
Says District Health
Officer.

Although canine conditions in Wash
!ngton are considered at present TO be
much better than those in other large
cities throughout the country. DR..
William c. Woodward, District Health
Officer. is OF the opinion that there are
numerous violations of the law with re-
spect TO the care OF dogs While the
Health Officer would not go so far as to
term the police lax in their enforcement
Of the regulations. he said he was con-
WINGED that many dog owners were liable
10 prosecution.
There are not very many stray dogs
in Washington" said DR.. Woodward yes
terday afternoon. Conditions here are
very good. So far there have been but
few cases OF rabies this summer. But
doubtless there are numerous violations
Of the law with respect to the care OF
CANNES.
The law provides that owners OF dogs
shall not permit them TO run at large
without being properly muzzled. The
penalty for violation OF the regulation Is
a fine OF not less than s., nor more than
$50 ! realize that the law is rather diff
cult to enforce because OF the fact that
il is usually a perpIexing problem to dis
cover the owners Of unmuzzled dogs
found wandering about the streets
The Health Department has pointed
out TO Congress through the annual re-
mort Of the Commissioners the need Of
legislation making II an offense punish
able by fine for any dog owners to per-
nit his animal to run at large between
the hours OF sunset and sunrise. but 20
action has yet been taken. There Is still
need for such legislation

Leading the World.

All glory to the men who have hon.
ored the United States in the great
Olympic games
Splendid fellows are these Ameri-
can athletes, strong, courageous, skillful,
and enduring. They have met the best
men in the world and have 'outpointed
them in practically every contest. The
one fly in the ointment is that an Amer
lean did not win the Marathon, the
climax of the contests When so many
other honors were won, however, this
defeat can be pardoned. The time will
come when even in long distance no
other nation will be able to compete
with US.
Great is the United States in its
financial resources, its business enter
prises, its capacity for self-government
And now we have shown the world that
we are developing race of hardy men,
whose muscle and nerve are typical Of
the American race. 1t is demonstra-
ton of the fact that in Drawn as well
as brain the United States leads the
world.

Majority and Minority
Reports.

Majority and minority reports, identi-
cal In recommending the dissolution OF
the United States Steel Corporation and
in indorsing the governments suit
against that corporation. but differing
over the proposals for remedial legisla-

Of the Steel Trust" by the Stanley spe-

New York to see Representative Martin

which has been signed by all other Dem

That there will be two reports from
the committee was assured yesterday at
an executive session. The differences
between che Democrats and Republicans
on the committee have to do with some
OF the findings OF fact in the majority
report as well as with some of the rems-
dial legislation proposed. The Republi-
cans. besides concurring in the opinion
OF the majority that The Steel Corpora
ton Is in violation of the Sherman anti

TWO EXCURSION BOATS
CRASH IN ROCKAWAY
INLET; ONE SINKS

New York. July l6.-The steamboat
Nassau. crowded with excursionists from
Newark. crashed into the excursion boat
Rosendale in Rockaway Inlet this after
noon. cutting a large hole in her port
bow
The Rosendale was beached in fifteen
feet OF water In Sheepshead Bay Inlet.
and her passengers were taken ashore by
smaller boats which went to her assist
ance.
The Nassau escaped with slight dam
age. and was able to proceed to Rocka-
way. She will have to go into dry dock
for repairs.
The accident was due 10 the fact that
both boats were passing in a narrow
channel and neither one dared to give the
other a wide berth.
The Nassau had nearly 200 persons
aboard, but the Rosendale had not much
of a crowd because II was one Of her
early trips.

The Light of Dawn.

A newspaper poet has contributed &c
the sporadic literature of journalism a
poem in which he euiogizes the light OF
dawn. The subject is worthy of the
poets Tyre. There is no other light
in the world so beautiful as that which
precedes the rising of the sun.
The MONDAY glare is anything but
picturesque. Moonlight is merely ro-
mantle, and starlight, while mysterious
and awe-compelling, is vague and in
sufficient. Twilight is marred by an
atmosphere heavy with the dust of
travel and is welcome only as an invi-
taGon to repose The most exquisite
moment of the day or night is when
the eastern sky becomes suffused with
pale glow, faint suggestion of gray
upon the black robe of night. The
world silently awaits the dawn. 1t is
moment of perfect peace, when the
stars gradually fade away and when
the sky, growing more and more lumi-
nous, takes on the glory of the coming
day.
Such is the hour of dawn. 1t is a
miracle every day repeated, and yet few
know its joys. To witness it is an in
spiration, and the life into which this
wonderful combination of gray and gold
has come is better fitted for the strug-
giles which confront each one of us
throughout the weary day.

PROMPT HEARINGS
IN RAILWAY CASES
Assistant Corporation Counsel
to Ask for Hearing
Thursday.

Assistant Corporation Counsel schuldt
stated yesterday that he would insist
on prompt hearing Of cases involvinf
complaints Of defective car service.
Thursday may be the date for beginning.
The District Electric Railway Commits
sion has several more complaints ready
for filing. besides the fifteen complaints
already in the hands Of Counsel schuldt
One OF these complaints deals with nom
fulhllment of schedule on one Of the
most important lines In the District.
The decision of the Appellate Court
setting the Jurisdiction of such cases In
the Police Court, II Is believed. will
greatly expedite the enforcement or regu-
lations regarding street car service. BY
the same decision the prosecution Is in
the hands OF the Corporation Counsel.
While the cases were supposed to be
prosecuted by the United States Attor-
ney's ONCE. II was complained that no
results were obtained. In Its annual re-
port to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, January i. tho District Electric

ton on the ground that @he was certain

we have reason to be pleased with the
new selection.
At the same time no one will deny
that there always was and still is a
strong undercurrent in Panama against
this country, which only recently
was shown through the wounding and
killing of several of our marines sent
there to uphold order at the polls. 1t
seems to US that Mr.. Roosevelt has got
us in enough trouble down there. Why
not keep our hands off and step in only

MISS BROMLEY TO

ALLEGED MURDERER

Philadelphia. July 8-Miss Florence
Bromley will take the stand at Newark

in an effort to free the man who is &C
cused OF taking the life OF his wife, It
was learned to-day.
At the first trial Miss Bromley was
prevented from appearing as a witness
by her family. Now that she has been
assured that there really is a chance for
mcfarland to be freed on the ground
that the letters which she wrote TO him
will not be allowed in evidence, she has
promised Frank NJ. McDermott. his coun-
sci, TO appear when wanted, and testify
as to the relationship between them.

La Toilette on the War Path.

A talk with the progressive Repub-
licans in Congress reveals the fact that
they do not believe the third party
movement is making much Roadway.
One by one the influential progressives
are dropping away from Mr.. Roosevelt.
The announcement from Minnesota
the latest thus far-that Gov. Eberhardt
had decided not TO participate in the
new party movement has attracted a
good deal of attention among Con-
gressmen II leaves Senator Clapp as
the only Minnesotan of any size who is
still inclined to stick to the third term
idea And even he, it is said around the
Capitol, is not as strong in the new
faith as he has been.
Almost every one of the seven Gov
errors who signed the document which
resulted in the declaration from the
former President that "his hat was in
the ring" has deserted him. While
some of them may not be favorable to
Mr.. Taft, they are, one and all, deeply
interested in the preservation of the
Republican party. Gov Johnson, who
is still with Mr.. Roosevelt, was not one
of the original seven signers.
The insurgent Republicans in Con-
gress seem to realize at last that the
third term has brought peril to them
and their cause They confess privately
that they had been weak when they
permitted themselves to be enticed to
support Roosevelt.
Senator La Toilette insists that he
could have won the national fight he
was making for principle within the
Republican party, just as he had done
in Wisconsin. II the programme to Or
ganize Bull Moose party is carried
out, Senator La Toilette says, he will
devote the entire campaign to exposing
the Roosevelt fraud" He intends to go
to the farmers of the great North and
Northwest and convince them that
Roosevelt is the candidate of the Har-
vester Trust, and also tell the laboring
men that the Steel Trust is backing
him.

THE CASE OF THAW.
Fiction that Saved His Life Taken
as Truth.

From the 81. Louis Republic
In the South the husband who has done
his duty would be declared not guilty
by a Jury which regards the unwritten
lawn some States It Is necessary to
set up a legal fiction TO protect the hus-
hand who guards the bond that holds
society together In accordance with an
abvious necessity. Thaw was declared
insane and sent TO an asylum Since his
sentence he has been working as ear
nestly to prove his sanity as he once
labored to demonstrate his mental
responsibility.
But the fiction which saved his life
Is considered so vital to the interests OF
the public that the courts and the law
insist that It is true; It is as difficult
for Thaw to get out OF the asylum as
It was for him to get in. Now what Is
the moral OF this2 Thaw deserved a
lot Of punishment and he is getting it
We are giving him no sympathy. But
We would be pleased to see a more ear
nest effort to get some good for the
general public out OF this exhibition of
legal incapacity. legal lack OF frankness
and legal refusal to learn a lesson when
all the facts had been collected. How
many Thaws must be sacrificed before
the moral has been digested?

PHILADELPHIA
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old siwash."

Philadelphia Is the largest village In
the world. 1t Is situated in Pennsyl-
vania on the Delaware River. and con-
sists Of 10000 red brick dwelling house.
with marble steps. which are scrubbed
every day by Philadelphia women. and
sat upon every summer evening by Phil
adelphia men. When a family gets sc
large that the steps cannot accommo-
date them, the eldest son marries and
starts TO fiji a set of steps OF his own.
Philadelphia is noted as a city OF
homes and regards New York with
scorn as a city OF clif-dwellers.
Philadelphia is two stories high. except
in the center, where II bulges teraflcal-
ly for a few blocks. 1t contains the tall
est city hall in the world. the greatest
locomotive works in the world. the great
est magazine publishing house. the larg-
est park. and the best baseball team.
Philadelphia is supposed to be a sleepy
town. but II II should ever wake up
heaven help the rest OF the world. 1t
is one or the most versatile and ener-
gCtlc somnambulists in existence.
Philadelphia was founded in 1851 by
William Penn, and many Of the original
buildings are still actively in business
down in the Wholesale section. In 11I6.

rested quietly.

There is no question that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty has superseded the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850. for the
very first article in the former states so
explicitly. The latter having completely
lapsed, Britain's rights, equities. privi-
leges, and immunities have likewise
gone out of existence. But even IL not,
Article VIII OF the Clayton-Bulwer in
strument, which established the great
principle OF naturalization" specifically
places the Tehuantepec Railroad in pre-
cisely the same category as the Panama
Canal, and gives to the United States
the same equities in and control Of that
British enterprise as Britain would like
to claim over the American canal at
Panama.

ORDER OF THE ovERALLS.
Name Has n Pfck-and-shove1 Sound
that Inspires Confidence.

From the ST. Louis Republic
An organization called the order OF
the Overalls has been formed. There's
action in that name. 1t suggests resolve.
1t has the real pick-and-shovel atmos-
phere. II inspires confidence.
The Mayors of a number OF cities In
Southwest Missouri are its charter MEM
bers. At West Plains the other day
they met and organized.
Their purpose is to beautify the towns.
Frequently city beautiful messages
are delivered in choicest diction by speak
ers exquisitely gowned or impressively
CARRIED. That's all right, too. but the
city beautiful proposition is strong
mans work. However prettily or elo-
quently It be advocated its doing calls
for strength physically as well as moral.
The Order of the Overalls" seemingly
has brought that qualification to the
task In that regalia the mayors OF those
cities will Identify themselves with the
work of Identification in a convincing,
conclusive manner.

MUFFLER LAW HERE.

Few Observe Ordinance to Put
"Quietcr" on Motor Cars.
The enactment yesterday in New York
OF an automobile ordinance requiring the
operators OF motor-propelled vehicles to
use a muffier at all times recalls the
fact that there is such a regulation in
effect in Washington. However. there
are few persons who know of its exis-
tence. and those who do little heed It.
The local law requires that motor We
hicles shall be equipped with mufflers
which shall not be cut out in any park
or public grounds, in any built-up sec
ton of the city. in the presence OF
horses, or to warn others OF the ap-
proach of the vehicle. The penalty for
violation is a fine Of not less than S
