ORDNANCE TO
REGULATE DOGS TO Be
UP BEFORE COUNCIL
Proposed Measure Complies
With Opinion Of State
Supreme Court

The proposed dog ordinance which
has weathered a rather stormy career
through the courts will be presented at
the meeting of the city council tonight
divested of the Objectionable features
pointed out by the supreme court The
ordinance was passed by the council
about year ago and by petition Of
dog owners was referred to vote OF
the people, The people voted for the
ordinance by two to one majority
and then the officials of the Humane
society of this city attacked the con
stitutionality Of the ordinance and
were granted an injunction by Judge
Galloway restraining the city from
carrying out the provisions Of the ord
nance. After hearing the judge
granted permanent injunction against
the ordinance and the case was carried
up to the supreme court. The supreme
court upheld the decision Of Judge Gal
loway in the circuit court.
Justice Benson, stated in his decision
that the city had Il right to pass ord
inances regulating the running at large
of dogs but that the city had no right
to kill dogs until legal efforts had
been made to locate the owner Of such
animals as might be taken up. Accord
ingly the trainers Of the ordinance have
inserted a provision in compliance with
the opinion Of the supreme court which
will require that all dogs must be
advertised in the papers, whore the own
ers are not known, before they can be
killed by the poundmoster.
The revised ordinance will come NJ
for first reading tonight at the regular
meeting Of the city council along Will
some other matters Of regular routine
The proposed gravel plant for the city
will also probably be reported upor
by the special committee consisting Of
Councilmen Cook Iluddeson, Hoover
Patterson and McCracken.

Cross agent in the Mexican capital.
O'Connor made an urgent request that

Although the situation in Mexico

General Carranza, it is believed, will
move his headquarters from Vera Cruz

The state department is making every
effort to learn the fate Of Paul Hudson,
editor of the Mexican Herald, his fam.

were arrested by the Zapatistas. 1t is

Russia Appeals to Allies
for DiUersion on West Front

compel them to act, Russia has decided
to try publicity. The situation is un-
pleasant for France and England. Not
only are they made uncomfortable by
Russia officially and openly advising
them what to do, but there exists the
possibility of a rupture from the allies ,
persistent refusal to take the offensive.
That they are unable to assume the
offensive because of shortage of mu-
nitions, Petrograd apparently does not
believe. The necessity of outstanding
ammunition to withstand possible
German effort to reach Calais does not
impress Petrograd as much as London
and Paris. If the allies remain mac.
tive despite Russia s appeal there is
certain to be resentment in Petrograd
The evacuation Of Poland will be asso
ciated in the Russian mind with the
absence Of an effort by the allies on
the west. Had Turkey not entered the
war and if there was no possibility OF
Russia securing Comstantinople, the
basis for a possible separate peace un
questionably now exists in Petrograd.
