Canine and Human Au1.us
Separated BY Wise Judge
Little Man and Big Dog Clashed With Big
Setter and Small Sized Owner Until the
Court Issued Real Peace Treaty

By official court decree Roughhouse
and Hobnail are to live each in an at
mosphere apart-that is, they are to
take their airings at different times.
Roughhouse is a large, amiable, soft
eyed, silky-eared Irish setter. Hobnail
is q tiny, vigorous, alert toy bulldog.
The official decree was issued yester-
day by Magistrate Bruce Cobb in the
west Side police court, where DR.. Will

and the owner of the setter, was ar

Cobb, ~ will place both of you under

such manner that they will not meet"
Mr.. Simpson, the six-footer, and Dr.
Hirsch, the five-footer, both live at
West Eighty-fifth Street and are ac-
customed to indulge daily in exercising
their pets.
Opposites Sure to Clash
1t was inevitable that they should
meet and it was inevitable that vibra-
tons the opposite of harmonious
should cross when the big man and
the little dog came face to face with
the little man and the big dog The
first meeting occurred some time ago
in Central Park. There was a general
hostile bristling. The humans, wear
ing spats and schooled in the re-
preston of desires, took it out in
bristling, but the dogs, spatless and
honest in. their. emotions, sprang at
one another
Hobnail got a grip on one of the
lop-ears of his soul opposite and hung
on like swapping turtle though re-
volving like pinwheel as the bowling
Roughhouse swung his head, The
owners separated Hobnail from the
ear before Hobnail had separated tha
ear from Roughhouse. 1t was a mar
row escape, and the spectators felt
recompensed by the subsequent con-
versation of DR.. Hirsch and Mr.. Simp-

of both yesterday, was loud and de-

Fogg-Veiled Ships
Crash in Harbor:
One Is Beached
West Avenal Grounds Off
Stapleton After Collision
With the Leyland Line
Freighter Lancastrian

While picking her way up the bay
from Quarantine yesterday in the fog
and rain the American freighter, West
Avenal was rammcd and badly
damaged on the port side by the
freigkter Lancastrian of the Leyland
Line, outward bound to Antwerp.
No lives were lost and no one was
injured, but the West Avenal took in
such a flood Of water that she had to
be beached off Staten Island. Both
vessels were said to be moving at
quarter speed. They were unable to
avert the collision when the outline
of each loomcd suddenly to the men
on the bridges.
The bow of the Lancastrian, which
was heavily laden, made a clean cut
deep into the midship section Of the
plates of the latter vessel crumpled,
and when the British craft withdrew
from the rent she had made torrent
poured into the forward hold Of the
West Avenal.
Believing his vessel was about to
sink in the fairway, Captain j. J. An
derson sent out wireless call for
help and ordered his crew to the life
boats. A hasty survey, however, later
convinced the skipper that he could
move into shoal water, and within
twenty minutes he had driven his craft
into the mud off Stapleton
The Lancastrian whose bow plates
were sprung, stood by prepared to
give assistance. Although she was not
taking water she went to an anchor
age and will undergo slight repairs be-
fore proceeding to Antwerp.
The West Avenal a vessel of the
United States Shipping Board, opcr-
ated by the Oriental Navigation Com

Negro Protests
ath Sentence
On Hoodoo Friday
Kelly, Slayer of Katherine
Dunn, Also Fears Date
Will Have Evil Effect on
His Motion for. Appeal

When he was sentenced yesterday
to die in the week of February 16
Frank Kelly, the negro slayer of Kath-
crime Dunn, offered only one objection
1t was Friday, he said, hoodoo day,
and might therefore have an adverse
effect on an application for an appeal
which his lawyer said would be filed
at once. After sentence had been pro-
nounced by Judge Kapper in the Brook
lyn Supreme Court the negro, who had
been mauled by a fellow prisoner in
Raymond Street Jail for making dis
paraging remarks. about white women,
left the court on the way to Sing Sing
with the remark:
II should worry. I've got a year
yet"
He was counting on the delay Of an
appeal. but District Attorney Lewis of
Kings County said every effort would
be made to have the appeal decided be-
fore the date set for execution.
Kellys objections to being sentenced
on Friday were presented by his coun-
oSi, O0V VCAC oWCPC dSluc ny JuSClCe
Kapper with the statement:
II do not want to burden the Sheriff
with this man any longer, and shall
sentence him now"
Katherine Dunn was a maid in the
home of Clarence Sperry Clark in the
Flatbush section of Brooklyn, and Kelly
murdered her on December 20, when he
entered the house to rob. He admitted
having also killed Emma Mcdonald, 8
B. R. T. ticket agent, whose body was
found a few months ago in a sandpit
and detectives yesterday expressed the
belief that Kelly was responsible fo,
the death of Elizabeth Riddell. the
young girl attacked and killed in 8
vacant lot in Richmond Hill two years
ago.
The trial of Emma Robinson, an al.
legged accomplice in the murder of Miss
Dunn, is to start Monday. Kelly de.

cised hypnotic control over him, and

Declaring for Bill Limit

Decision Shocks Friends
Mild Legislation Is Being
Framed to Gain Support
of Republican Majority

New Jersey "wets," who have been
looking forward to the Inauguration
of Edward l. Edwards a Governor as
a signal for turning the state into a.
wide open mecca for the thirsty, re-
ceiHed rude shock yesterday. Mr..
Edwards, upon his return from Wash
ington, where he attended the Jackson
Day dinner, intimated that he might
not urge the 1920 Legislature to "le-
galize" any more powerful beverage
than 3 per cent beer.
This to the hopeful ones who had
expected enactment of law au-
thorIzlng rs per cent alcoholic drinks
was a veritable bombshell. Three per
cent beer is entirely outside the New
Jersey definition of what constitutes
a drink
81 have not decided what percent
age shall favor" said the Governor
elect. 1--WE are considering per cent
| shall recommend as high a percent
age as per cent"
"Wets" Not in Harmony
Mr.. Edwards's statement served to
disclose that all is not harmony in
SON.. State Senator elect from Hudson,
Edwards's home county, had this COM
ment to make on the modified pro-
gram:
II am not in favor of a bill that
would allow brewers to make slop and
sell it for money"
Simpson had fixed upon per cent as
the minimum alcoholic content that
could be expected to satisfy the voters
who elected Edwards, a Democrat, on
a wet" platform in Republican
landslide. His personal idea was that
the proposed law should be extended to
permit the sale and manufacture of
wines up to 10 per cent alcohol. 1t
was Simpson who gave out the state
ment last Wednesday that Edwards
and his advisers had decided on 5 ner
cent as the legal maximum.
IT is the opinion of impartial polti-
cal observers across the river that
the Governor-elect and the more con-
servative of his unofficial Cabinet. in
Guiding Mayor Frank Hague of Jersev
City, have come to the realization that
they are up against a snag in fulfill
ing the campaign pledge to ''make New
Jersey as wet as the Atlantic Ocean"
