Woodward's Statement.

Health Officer Woodward. reporting
upon the question OF unmuzzled dogs,
said:
I'm view of the prevalence of rabies
among dogs during the early part OF
the calendar year 1910 the Commits
sioners. August 4. 1910. issued a procla-
nation requiring every dog within the
District OF Columbia to be muzzled
during the period of twelve months
next ensuing after August IL. 1910.
From the time when the requirements
of the proclamation became effective
up to the end of the fiscal year the
poundmaster impounded S36 dogs. tag
ged. but going at large without muz-
zles. Moreover. the police prosecuted
number of owners of dogs for al
lowing them to run at large unmuz-
Zled.
Probably the activity of the pound
master and of the police tended to
check the spread of rabies in the Dis
trict, and certainly there was a reduc-
ton in the number Of dogs running at
large.
Handicap in Dark.
NO matter how large the pound force
is. however. it will be impossible to pre-
| vent dogs running at large unmuzzled
after dark if muzzled dogs are allowed
to run at large at that time The pound
men, while prepared to impound a dog,
cannot before taking action approach
closely enough to determine whether he
is or is not muzzled. The only remedy
for this condition, and ii seems to he a
perfectly proper one, is to forbid all
dogs from running at large after twi-
light and until daylight has returned
Such a law would be effective, because
it would enable the poundmen to i'm
pound any dog found at large after dark
whether muzZled or unmuzZled. II would
work no hardship. since a dog, IL kept
as watchdog, should be on his masters
premises after dark. and il kept as a pet
he should be kept home for his own pro-
lection. The proposed law would not
interfere with those who desire to take
their dogs out for exercise after dark
since such persons could readily do SO
by keeping their dogs on leash. The
enactment of legislation to accomplish
this end Is recommended.
Under the provisions of the law own
ers of licensed CANNES are liable in
| civil action for any damage done by
| their dogs to the full amount of the
| injury inflicted. 1t is said that several
| suits may follow cases in which per-
sons recently have been bitten.
| Persons who remove the muzzles
| from their dogs and permit them to
| roam the Streets" Maj. Sylvester said
| last night. may expect to be prose
cuted. The law will be strictly en-
| forced"

Children May Be Taken Away.

rage altar. it is held. her foreign born
children may be torn from her arms and
separated from her forever by deporta-
ton fom the country.
1t is such features of the legislation
against which the Chinese merchants
have protested. Their arguments against
the bill have been set forth in brief
filed by lawyers, including Ralston, Sid
dons & Richardson. attorneys for Ger
tain Chinese merchants; John P. Irish
representing Chinese and commercial
bodies of California, and former Repre-
sentative Samuel l. Powers, representing
Massachusetts Chinese merchants.
Setting forth some of the hardships
which the Chinese merchants believe will
be imposed upon them by the bill, the
brief says:
Let suppose, for instance. that a
merchant after having lived in this coun-
try twenty years. and after having sew
cred all relations with China, meets with
misfortune and becomes a farm superin-
tendent or laborer. Even though to all
practical intent China may be as foreign
to him as Africa, under the law he must
be deported.

Senators Yield Privilege.

announced willingness to forego MAX
ing tariff speeches which they have pre-
pared, in the interest of quick action
and speedy adjournment. Senator Hey
burn is the only senator who is not
disposed now to proceed to a vote on
the metal bill. Senator Cummins will
speak on his amendment, but will not
attempt to postpone action.
Plans of republican senators to absent
themselves when. the voting stage is
reached on the steel tariff bill practically
were completed last night, insuring pas
sage of the democratic House measure.
This. republican senators say. will give
the President an opportunity to veto a
straight democratic proposition. The
