Why Not Kill the curs7

p. p Garner, state commissioner of
agriculture, wrote to Senator John
Sharp Williams asking his support
and Influence in having war tax
placed on dogs, believing that such a
tax would not only raise goodly sum
Of cash for the u. s. treasury, but
would clean outaa million or two worth
less sheep-killing CANNES. He has re-
ceived the following letter from Sen
ator Williams, dated at Washington:
Dear Sir:-I would like to see u
war tax on dogs and put an end to a
lot of sheep-killing ours, but the
Prophet Elijah. rising from the dead,
could not persuade lot of politicians
to do it. 1t would be utterly hopeless
to try It,"

MANY HURT IN EXPLOSION

Vallejo, Cal---Official investigation
ID being conducted into the cause Of
the explosion of the powder magazine
st Mare Island navy yard. which killed
six persons and injured 3S.
The majority OF the injured were
laborers employed about the yard.
The town Of Vallejo, across a mar.
row arm of San Francisco bay, was
rocked by the explosion as though BY
IN earthquake. Windows were shat
tered, chimneys fell in pieces ana
fronts OF buildings were blown in by
the force of the shock.
Among the injured were six persons
who were passengers on the bay
steamer FL Captain, plying between
Vallejo and Vallejo Junction. The port
side of the vessel was blown in.
The u. S. destroyer Caldwell, on
the ways ready to be launched. was
badly shaken, but so FAR as known. un-
damaged.
No sooner had the officers made
sure that there were no more bodies
to be recovered, and that the wound
ed had received attention. than in
quisitorial machinery began to oper-
ate to fix responsibility, If any there
be, for the tragedy.
In fact. while fires started by the
shock were still burning and the cas-
ualty list was unknown, strong arm
ed guard was thrown about the entire
naval plant and search was begun
for suspicious characters or any per
son who might be on the island with
out proper authority.
These preliminary measures were
followed by investigations along. sew
eral collateral lines. all apparently
aimed at discovering any evidence
that might exist Of plot to wreck
the navy yard. No statement of an
official nature was given out. and the
lines of communication with the, island
were closed to the press, but through
out the developments the indication
grew stronger that a human agency
was suspected behind the explosion.
