DIRE DAYS IN SIGHT
FOR DOGS OF VIRGINIA.

According to City Clerk Bickford
only 80 dog licenses have been TAX
en- out at the city hall since the
first of May when the annual dog
tax became due. The number is
somewhat below that of last year
and owners of dogs who do not
give the matter attention are apt
TO find their animals mysteriously
missing in short time. Last year,
It is said, more than 200 dogs went
to feed the flames at the inciner-
ater plant. The number this year
will be greater if no more auen-
ton is paid to the payment of the
dog tax than at present. The po-
lice department will begin its an
nual dog census in q short time
and animals found straying about
town, who do not bear the dog tax
check will be dispatch ed in short
order.

Dermott. He insisted that before an
swering any questions Of this nature he
be permitted to refresh his memory from
the 1000 odd documents and letters which
he has submitted.
"StoIen'' Amdavits Found.
Mulhan believed that McDermott had
given him information concerning four
different measures favorable to labor, but
he could not tell when, how, or why this
information had been given.
Mulhall continued to prove a trial to
his personal attorney, who has been try
ing to keep his client within reasonable
bonds during the cross-examination.
Easby-Smith produced, Just before the
cross-examination concluded, the affi-
davits charging Burns detectives with
perjury which Mulhall claimed McDer-
mott had stolen from him. The affida-
Wits seem to have no direct bearing on
the case.
Today L H. McMichaeI will be on the
stand before the House committee, to
give Mr.. Easby-Smith an opportunity to
conclude his cross-examination. 1t is
hoped to put McDermott on the stand
before the end OF the week.
James A. Emery, general counsel for
the n. A. NJ, was on the stand before
the Senate committee at morning and
afternoon sessions. The Senate commit
tee hopes to conclude the MulhaIl part
of the lobby probe this week and then
adjourn over until after the tariff bill is
enacted.
McMicAaeI Wns Hired.
An interesting feature OF expense ac-
counts which Emery identified as his was
the classification under lump sums ex-
penditures ranging as high as $50 ''cleri-
cal services while other expenses were
itemized to the penny.
Emery reiterated his denial that he had
known of the employment for $50 a
month of /. H. McMichael. though he
said he authorized for a few months the
payment of a salary Of Sl5 or $40 month
to a friend OF Mulhall for getting and
mailing documents. He afterwards
learned. he said, that this friend was
NcMichael. He denied that Parker and
Neale ever were on the N. A. NJ. pay
roll, saying that these and other House
messengers were tipped irregularly for
their services
