DOAK ACCUSEDOF
POISONING PET DOG

W. s. Daok, the official dog killer,
fax county dogs, is in trouble. He is
under bond Of $1,000 to await the ac-
tion OF the grand jury on a charge OF
poisoning a dog owned by Charles E.
Kendrick, of $500 NJ street, George
town.
More than 600 persons gathered yes
terday at a magistrates court at Cliff
ton Station for the preliminary hear
ing.
Dogs Annoyed Sheep.
Doak, according to evidence offered
at the hearing. was driving a flock
of sheep by Hendricks country home,
on July IS, last, when two OF Ken
drick's dogs began barking at them.
The tenant in charge of the house
was asked II he did not want the
dogs killed. He replied emphatically
NO" and told how much Kendrick
thought of them.
Some time later, according to the
wife of the tenant. Doak again passed
the house, and, going up on the lawn,
gave the fox terrier that was run
ming loose and the bulldog that was
tied to his kennel, something that
appeared to be bread.
The fox terrier got sick and died.
The bulldog got sick, but was saved
by being treated with dog remedies.
, When Kendrick swore out a war
rant for Doak, Mrs. Doak, according to
the testimony, paid a call on the
tenant and asked the wife not TO
testify in the case. She refused. II
is stated that a few days later Mrs.
Doak's daughter paid a visit to the
house and said that her parents
would present the alleged witness to
the affair with fine pig IL she would
fail to show up at the trial.
Valued Dog Highly.
Asked by The Times what value he
placed on the lost dog, Mr.. Kendrick
said:
well. thought so much OF that
dog that l couldn't even put a price
on him that would appear reason
able"
When asked the breed OF the dog,
Mr.. Kendricll said:
'To me, he was just a dog. but as
far as 1 have been able to find out
he came nearer being a fox terrier
than anything else"

KILLS Nine GUNNERS
Three-Inch Shell Explodes al
Camp Near Fl. Worth, Tex.
Six Of the Men Meet Instant Death
and Three Died Shortly After
The Accident.

Fort Worth, Texas, May 10-Explo-
sion Of q three-inch shell killed nine
American gunners and injured seven
others near Benbrook, a few miles
west of Fort Worth.
One gun crew, members of head
quarters company, 141st infantry, was
wiped out and a second crew from
headquarters company, 142nd infantry
suffered heavy casualties.
Six of the men were killed instantly
and three died shortly after the ex-
plosion.
An attempt on the part Of g gunner
to force the shell which apparently
did not fit, down a trench mortar is
believed to have been responsible for
the accident. Sergeant Norman Bow,
a Canadian. assistant instructor for
the Stokes trench mortar, said to-
night he saw a soldier attempting to
force the shell and that he attempted
to warn the gunner. The explosion
came too quickly, however. The
wounded, except Sergeant Norman
Bow, of the British army we're all
from Texas, as were the dead.

pei any advance the Germans may
attempt that it has been decided not

"The position now is" said the

mined to concentrate every available
unit on enormous offensive, are
draining their country dry to force a
decision before it is too late.
"The Allies are so confident that,
having been given the choice Of a
small immediate American army for
defense, or waiting till they are re.
inforced by a complete, powerful,
self-supporting American army, they
have chosen the latter.
ITO the sledge hammer uses of

ABUSE OF CONFIDENCE

Washington, May 14.-Another let
ter to President Wilson has been
made public by Gutzon Borglum, storm
center of the aviation controversy.
Borglum begins his statement by de.
nying hat he had betrayed the Pres
ident's confidence, renewing his asser-
tiops of grave misconduct in the gov
eminent aircraft production %organiza-
ton, and insisting that the Senate
openly and thoroughly the investiga-
ton which, he says, he was prevent
ed from making "by the War depart.

designed to show that the sculptor
attempted to capitalize his friendship
with the President by secretly organ
izing a corporation to produce air.
planes, the letter says Secretary
Brandegee of Connecticut will submit
to the Senate Tuesday or Wednesday
detailed affidavits and evidence relat-;
ing to "this deliberate frameup."
at is a matter of the gravest con-
Germ to me-" the letter adds, "that
credence could be given to charges
of such nature, or that they could have
been in your possession, and I have
received no intimation of the false
hood until Mr.. Marshall intimated that
there vas some sort of a charge or
charges of disloyalty to you. This
is so unthinkable that l dismissed and
declined even to discuss them"
Mr.. Borglum repeats his published
answer to the charges and contin-
ueS:
ut is absurd to state that pro-Ger-
mans are clamoring for Investigations
while the Secretary of War is a party
to statements, untrue and unfounded,
issued to deceive the nation and serv.
ing no other possible purpose except
to warn Germany to hurry her own
airplane production, as we are for
eve and forever Just at the peak Of
production
Never, l believe, in the history of
the country, has a group of men been
given so completely a nations re-
sources, together with the Admins
tration's and the peoples confidence,
as have the aircraft group, and never
has such confidence been more wan
tonly abused.
II refer here to Major General
S%quires, Howard E. Coffin, Colonel
Deeds and Colonel Montgomery.
These division and military members
appear everywhere in the program
planned to meet our military needs
and they appear everywhere in the
deliberate and elaborate machinery
that placed and held the colossal con-
tracts among a few-they appear
everywhere in the fine network of
falsehood and camouflage, and they
include Mr.. Baker as their partner
In the common statements to the pub
lic-they deliberately lied to you and
framed up their statements, particu-
larly their failures; and misled Con-
gress before the Senate Military COM
mittee, and they directly are respon-
sible for no engines, no planes, no pro-
pellers and our vanished appropria-
lions.
