ing between the average boy and a
dog catcher was brought out last
night in the police court when
George Ignooz was a~rraigned before
Recorder Pickersgill or a charge oil
interfering with Dog Catcher Charles
Randolph as he vas attempting TO
corral q canine roaming at large IN
defiance of the city ordinance.
1t was brought out that George
observed one of the dog catcher's
lieutenants in the act of creeping up
with o~utstretched net upon an I'M
%suspecting dog. George was ac-
ouainted with the animal and said
that the beast had just escaped from
the custody of it's owner and was not
subject to seizure by the cruel sup
plier of meat to the sausage factor
les. Accordingly he interfered with
the assistant carrying the net.
Recorder Pickersgill, in comment.
ing on the case, expressed himself
as in sympathy with Georges mo-
tives in the action but said the FACT
remained that he had interfered
with a city officer performing his
duty, however obnoxious it might be
to George. The offense was n mer-
iting punishment, the recorder sta
ted, but in the absence of the cor
raller of CANNES who made the com
plant, the court was compelled TO

M'DUFFIE WANTS SHRIMP
 INCLUDED IN EXTRA CALI,

Washington. July 30.--(SpeciaI.) Representative John McDuffie of the First Alabama district thinks that Gov. Thomas E. Kilby, in his call for an extraordinary session of the legislature. should consider shrimp.
 At any rate, the representative has addressed the following letter to the governor:
 The decision of the federal court involving the shrimp and oyster in- dustries, permitting outside catchers to enter Alabama waters, will most vitally effect these industries.
 "Enterprising Alabamians have invested heavily in the shrimp and oyster business, and their factories at Bayou La Batre turn out a large volume of excellent canned sea food, and offer employment to hundreds of our citizens along the coast. If our waters are to be open to all corners without restrictions, our valuable supply of sea food, in which all citizens of Alabama are inter- ested, must inevitably be depleted.
 In the event you decide to call the legislature together in extraordi- nary session I most earnestly and re- spectfully urge you to include in your call such remedial legislation as may be necessary to properly safa- guard our shrimp and oyster indus tries.
 With high esteem, am. yours very respectfully,
 JOHN MDUFFIE."
