UPH0LDS PROPOSED LAW
TO TAX CATS AND DOGS
Commissioner Gardiner Asserts Safe
ty Of Citizens to Be Consid-
cred Above Pets.

Commissioner Gardiner said today
the bill providing for tax of SO q
year on all dogs kept in the District
and tax of 81 a year on all cats Is
to be introduced at the session Of Con-
gress to convene December 3.
The Commissioner maintains the
safety of children and grown persons
in the streets of Washington is more
to be desired than the presence of
dogs in the community.
Attacks by unmuzzled dogs on pa.
destrians, adults as well as children,
Commissioner Gardiner said, have been
SO frequent in the last few years that
radical measures must be adopted to
put an end to the menace. Statistics
Of the police department for the fiscal
year 1917 show that 5000 dogs passed
through the District pound, 1890 of
these having neither muzzles nor tags.
In the same period 1884 cats passed
through the pound.
Commissioner Gardiner believes IL a
ten-dollar tax is placed on all dogs in
the District. and, in addition, SO is
required to get a dog out of the pound.
where all unmuzzled dogs are taken
for disposal. District residents would
be more careful to muzzle their pets.
Cats as carriers of disease germs.
the Commissioner believes. should also
be taxed and required to wear collars
and tags, as in that case more care
kept under control and that they should
not be permitted to serve as vehicles
for the Transmission Of infection from
one home to others.

Peter Has a Good Look at

As Peter Rabbit sat just inside the
1ole under the big stump near the pond Of
daddy the Beaver and watched the fas-
mating stump Of tail Of Yowler the
Bob Cat twitching in the moonlight as
fowler crouched on the farther side OF
he little open space right in front Of
Peter he remembered how he had seen
he tip OF Black Pussys tail witch when
he was watching a bird or trying to
teal up on Happy Jack Squirrel or Dan
~ Meadow Mouse.
Cats are all alike" muttered Peter
They can't keep their tails still. how
.ver still they may keep the rest OF them
selves. If know anything about it Vow

hing over beyond and is watching for a
nance to catch some one. I'm glad il
.sn't me. / wonder who it is"
Just then Yowler rose to his feet and
.rotted out in the moonlight. where for
the first time Peter had a good view

ne looked big. bigger than Peter
mad expected. great deal bigger than
Black Pussy. His legs were longer and
digger. His body was much thicker
His coat wasn't black. but a beautiful
yellcwish brown spotted with dark
brown or black markings. His chin
and throat were white. Altogether he
was handsome fellow. Peter had to
admit that.
But when Peter got a good look al
Yowler's face he shivered. 1t was such
felt as il the eyes glazing out from it
bored right through him.
Yowler trotted a few steps. then turn
ed to look back. Peter noticed that
silent as the wings of Hooty the Owl.
As Yowler stared back in the direction
from which he had come Peter could
hear him growing. 1t was an ugly.
snariing growl deep down in his throat.
1t was quite plain to Peter that Yowler
was growing to himself and not for
he benefit of any one else.
isn't any one Yowler wants to CATCH"
thought Peter. In fact. don't be-
lieve it is any one Yowler cares to
meet. to judge by the way he acts. I
wonder who it can be-"
Suddenly Yowler snar1ed and spit,
then turned and ran swiftly to the foot
Of tall tree. There he paused to look
back and there was such fierce. ugly
look in his eyes that Peter shivered.
Once more he snarled and then up the
tree he went as nimbly as ever Happy
Jack Squirrel climbed tree. Half way
up he stretched out fiat on big limb
and Peter could see mis- eyes ike two
little balls of fire as he glared down
toward the edge of the little moonlit
opening.
Then peter heard a noise in that di-
rection. now and then the snap of a
twig or the rustic of dry leaves. Some
one was coming, some one who was
careless of his steps. a sure sign that
he was not hunting any Of the little
people OF the Green Forest. Peter lis
tened, trying to guess who 1t might be.
Presently he grinned. There was only
one who shuffied along like that.
ITS Buster Bear. and Yowler is
afraid of him." thought Peter. and
somehow II made him feel better to

A few minutes later sure enough Bus

Received Threatening Letters.

Since the opening Of the trial Justice
Manning has received a number of
threatening letters, ostensibly from
cranks. One OF these advised the JUS
tice to prepare to meet thy God" in
the event Of tho Jury returning a YER
dict OF guilty. It was stated. Special
omcers met Justice Manning at the
railroad station today and escorted him
to the courthouse.
Twice the number of persons the
courtroom could accommodate had
gathered by the time the trial was re-
sumed. Most of them were women.
Justice Manning at the request OF
Henry A. Uterhart consented to omit
the session of the trial. which the
court had announced would be held to-
morrow. Mr.. Uterhart said that he did
not wish to place the defendant on the
witness stand today. on account Of his
client's physical condition. and he did
not wish to have Mrs. De Saulles be-
gin her testimony unless she could tell
her whole story without Interruption.

CALL SUFFRAG|STS
ENEMIES Of nation
Ants Declare Proposed Fed
eraI Amendments Violates
Constitution of U. S.
WILL FIGHT SOCIALISM

Tho national board Of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
at its meeting in this city yesterday. plac-
cd on record its opinion that the proposed
federal woman suffrage amendment is
against which all government onicials
pledge to defend, according to tho Con-
stitution Of the United States.
In q resolution passed by the board.
which reviews its opinion that tho pro-
posed federal suffrage amendment is an
encouragement to pacifsts. socialists
and pro-Germans. the organization de-
clares itself Of the following:
That the oath administered to all
members Of Congress and officers OF
the United States government to
uphold and defend the Constitution
of the United States against all for
eign and domestic enemies" morally
and truly applies to the present Con-
stitution and to this proposed
amendment
In other words. the board believes
that all officers Of tho government are
already bound by the nature of their
oath to do everything to prevent the
federal amendment
This meeting was the first since the
recent New York election, the results
Of which have reused members all over
the country to constructive campaign
against pro-Germanism. socialism and
paciflsm.
Mrs. James W. Wadsworth. jr.. the
president. presented to the board q
new platform. ono Of the seven
planks therein for the first time officially
proclaiming the association as fighting
socialism.
It is the intention to unite all anti-so-
cialist and anti-suffrage forces in Amer
lea In aggressive, nation wide opposition
to the federal suffrage amendment and
to tho referendum on the war, which
"antf' leaders think would follow the
passage Of the former. Suggestions and
promises OF support have come from all
over the country. say leaders, and are
being considered by the national board In
perfecting its campaign plans.
Answers Suffragettes.
Mrs Wadsworth has made public a
statement in reply to published attacks
made by the suffrage forces on her re-
cent analysis Of the New York vote,
wherein she pointed out that suffrage
was victorious in that state through
the votes Of pro-Germans and pacifists
In these statements suffrage leaders
characterized Mrs. Wadsworth's anal
ysis as unfair to Americas political
leaders, including President Wilson
himself, Secretary McAdoo and Chair
man Glynn of the New York re-
publican state committee, all of whom
asked the men of New York to vote for
suffrage. Her statement in rebuttal is
as follows:

Answers Suffragettes.
Gave Election Figures.

TN my statement published Monday
I asked the people to consider facts In
proof Of which I gave election figures.
The suHragists have replied with a per-
sonal attack. but do not refute the fact
that the number of new socialist votes
won by the socialist candidate on a
pacifst platform was similar to the
number Of German-born voters and to
the increased vote for woman suffrage
in New York city. A camouflage Of
personal abuse cannot conceal the truth.

FOOD RIOTS IN HOLLAND
Serious Demonstration Reported In
The Hague.

THE HAGUE. Feb. 16-Serious riot
ing. in which the crowds were only dis
persed after repeated charges by police
and Hussars hurriedly called upon for
re-enforcements. occurred here last
night.
The rioters. mostly workmen, staked
their demonstration as a protest against
the high cost OF food. They occupied the
space in front OF the Queens palace and
the ministerial buildings.
The food situation was regarded today
as having reached an acute stage in
Holland. Small-salaried workers find 1t
almost impossible to obtain coal and po-
tatoes. Discomfort has been growing
and authorities today did not disguise
their fear Of further outbreaks OF prob
ably an even more serious nature than
that OF last night. unless the government
takes some radical measures at once.
Primarily the shortage in food has
been due to the fact that Holland of all
neutrals is most affected by the block
ades which the belligerent nations of
Europe have established about her.

7SD. c. MILITTAMEN
AREOUT OF WORK
Mustered Out, Majority of Men
in Battery B Will Need
Employment.

Seventy-three men will be without
means Of support following the mus
ter out of Battery B, District national
guard, at Fort Myer this afternoon.
These men have just returned from
q six months stay on the border as
members of the artillery organization
from the District.
Some held Government positions,
while the remaining members gave
up for the most part good paying
positions.
Trying To Find Jobs.
Col. r. d. Simms, who is directing
the work of the Military Service
Legion in securing positions for sol
diers who have been mustered out
OF the service, stated today that his
organization. cooperating with the
Department Of Labor, is doing every
thing possible to find jobs for the
ex-soldiers.
Application blanks have been sent
to Fort Myer. Up to this time. how
ever. the battery members have been
unable to consider the important
question OF finding jobs, such has
been the strain and hard work incl
dental to the mastering out Of the
Battery.
Must Fill Out Blanks.
Following the muster out at 5
o'clock this afternoon. however, the
men viii be set to work filling out
the blanks, on which they are re-
quired to state the experience they
have had and the kind of work they
desire.
Colonel Simms stated today that he
would hurry up the work of finding
positions for these men. Though the
card system used in finding the rrfli-
tiamen positions is efficient. It Is
necessarily slow work, and the prob
lem now is to find temporary posi-
tions.
On file at the department are ap-
plications for men who are mechan-
les. chauffeurs, and carpenters from
all over the country, and as soon as
the right man IL found he will be
given a chance to accept the position.
