BANS UNMUzzLED
DOGS AS NUISANCE
Police Captain Compares Them
to Dodo Buds and Drink
In Proclamation.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Poliee Capt
John Kelly, OF the Flushing district,
proposes TO see that all dogs are muz-
Ezled according 20 law. Captain Kelly
has Issued a proclamation to the resi-
dents OF Flushing. College Point,
Whitestone, Bsyside. DouElaston, and
Little Neck. 1t reads;
at must be plain to every one that
something must be done to abate the
unmuzzled dog nuisance.
"If dogs are permitted to increase
and run at large for few more years
we will have Constantinople beaten
forty ways.
"I don't believe that you would
really desire TO rob the poor Turk or
the honors that are still his.
ain the Stone Age the dog was
man's most useful companion. He as
sisted In the chase. fought by the side
OF his master in the village wars,
knowing who and when TO bite.
"At that time mans intellectual
superiority over the four-footed mem
bers of his household was not as
noticeable as at present
"Some people seem to think that the
ordinance requiring all dogs to be
muzzied is an infringement on the
dogs natural rights.
Moderate drinkers. men who are
satisfied with five or six whiskey
sours before breakfast, feel the same
way about the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
'sOf course, you will understand that
the Stone Age and the Eighteenth
Amendment have nothing to do with
the dog problem"
The idea is to take some OF the
sting Cor bite) out OF what Is to fol
low. In spite OF some past disap-
pointments the author still persists In
believing that the best way to govern
an orderly. decent people Is to get
their help and good will.
"Few OF you have seen the interior
of a magistrates court 1t Is our very
earnest wish that you will preserve
an unblemished reputation to the end
OF your lives and we want to help you
to do. it.
"But the unmuzzlcd dog must go
the way Of the dinosaur and the dodo
bird. II you happen to have one Ia
dog, not a dinosaur OF a dodo bird.
procure a muzzle for him without un-
necessary delay.
"You have until April to comply
with the ordinance. After that time.
II your dog Is found at large with
out a muzzle. neither your wealth.
poverty, social, or political connec-
tions or any earthly influence will
save you from appearing in court"
Copies of the proclamation were
posted in every postoffice and rail-
road station in the Flushing precinct.
