went operations there recovered. He
called one dog out and said:
This dog has undergone an operation
that no human being ever underwent and
you see how lively he is"
DR.. Catch, in a statement made to
Lieutenant Houston OF the police depart
ment and others, said that there were
no experiments conducted on dogs at the
surgery, but that they were used solely
for the purpose of instructing the stu
dents. The statement Of the attendant
that the dog had undergone an operation
such as no human being has ever under
gone is at variance with this statement
and tends to support a rumor Of a recent
most remarkable experiment" In which
1t was reported that q dogs stomach was
removed and replaced in an unnatural
position and the dog lived.
The disclosure that a protest was
lodged with Dean Emerson more than a
year ago against the treatment Of the
dogs is the direct result of the recent
failure of tha humane officers" whose
work appears to have fallen under the
direction of Dr. c. A. Pfafflin to take any
interest in the colleges treatment Of
dogs.
HE'S ONE AND THE
SAME DIR. PFAFFLIN.
DIR. PfaFlin, who, through some mis-
arrangement Of the affairs Of the Indian
apolis Humane Society, appears to be
able to block an investigation of cruelty
to animals by the humane officers" is
the same DR.. Pfaflin who boosted Of hav-
ing been invited by the KRissr's govern
ment to take charge of a German hos
pital at the opening Of the war.
1t is said to have been largely through
his influence that action against the col
lege by the Humane Society was blocked
more than a year ago when complaint
was made that dogs were being cruelty
treated at the college.
Persons interested in these complaints
are said to have laid them directly be-
fore Dean Emerson and TO have received
his personsl assurance that the opera
lions on dogs would be so conducted at
the college as to preclude any possibility
Of complaint from any one who under
stood their purposes.
Prior to that time It is understood
dogs were received by the college from
the city dog pound, but since then ar
rangements have been made at the pound
by which the Humane Society hnds

ACTION AT DOG POUND
REFLECTED AT COLLEGE.
The refusal OF the authorities at the
dog pound to give the college dogs for
use in the laboratory Is said to have
created a market for dogs at the college
which has apparently been met by per
sons more intent on the financial benefits
than an observanc eof law In procuring
them.
Considerable dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed when the college was obtaining
dogs from the pound because the better
class Of dogs only were desired by the
college for its use.
The peculiar circumstances surrounding
the recovery by Judge Walter Pritchard
of his airedale. Jerry have given rise
10 the suspicion that the dog was cached
some place awaiting eventual transporta-
ton to the college. Following publica
tion Of the story concerning the loss OF
Jerry" a man, who refused to reveal his
identity. phoned the Judge that he had
Jerry" and would return him. The next
morning Jerry" was. on the porch at
the judges home.
