Court Upholds Boys
Defense Against
Ferocious Dog
Collies become ferocious at

Collies become ferocious at
the age of six months.
This decision for the class
in advanced biology was hand
ed down by Judge Robert
Hardison in Police Court to-
day, when he dismissed a
charge of cruelty against Will
liam Nelson, colored.
Willie had been in the ash
collecting profession for the
city for thirteen years and
dogs had never meant a thing
to him. But last Friday he
made a business call at the
home of Mrs. Catherine Car
nault, of 1915 S street north
west.
Estar, the six-month-old
canine pet of thee household,
hailed Willie with vivacious
banks. Willie threw an ash
can at Estar with startling eff
feet. The collie landed in the
basement and did a Carpenter
on the floor.
Mrs. Carnault preferred the
cruelty charge against Willie.
Willie said that the dog was
"fee-roshus," and Judge Hardi-
son concurred.

KELLER IS
BEHIND
RIGID
ACT
Difference Over an Article
Brings Action by Board
curtaiIing Writers.

The District Commissioners to-
day haAed back to war days"
and clamped into force a drastic
gag rule with the view of clip
ping the wings of newspaper men
who "cover" the District build
ing and police headquarters, two
most important news sources for
the Washington public. -
While none Of the Commission
ers would reveal the reason TO-
issuing the order it is known that
the issue has been agitated by
Engineer Commissioner Keller a
a result of differences he had
with two newspapermen who,
about two weeks ago, wrote arti-
cles against his wishes"
Hardship to Writers.
AS a result the matter was acted
upon at the board meeting Of the
Commissioners. yesterday. Today
whenever a newspaper man appeared
in the quest Of news a copy OF the
official ultimatum was flashed, and
polite suggestion made for his exit.
Knowing that they are being
watched as a result of the new
order, employees of the District
building are taking care to shun
newspaper men.
II the order is carried into effect
as thoroughly as Is promised, II
will work a particular hardship on
news writers who cover" the
police department as they often
have to interview from six to eigh,
policemen and detectives before they
can obtain the facts necessary to
write a single article.
I'm general" the order also
states, the representatives OF the
press should not be permitted to
enter the rooms occupied by the
clerical and working forces. The
only exception to this rule are the
three Commissioners and the Sec
rotary of the Board OF Commis-
sioners."
The Commissioners call attention
in the ruling to similar order
issued September IA, 1920.
Text Of the Order.
The. new official ruling follows:
"I am directed by the Commits.
sioners to invite your attention to
paragraph % of the order of the
commissioners Oh september IL,
1920, which reads as follows:
Information relating to official
business must not be communicated
to those not officially entitled there
to; but the newspapers may be
furnished with such as relates to
current business by those members
of the office force who shall have
received special authority from the
Commissioners to do So
THE Commissioners direct that
no information shall be furnished
10 press representatives except by
heads Of departments, or by such
of their subordinates as they may
specially authorize to DO so. In
general the representatives of the
press should not be permitted to
enter the rooms occupied by the
clerical and working forces. The
only exceptions to this rule are the
three Commissioners and the secre-
tary to the Board OF Commits
sioners."

Physicians Explain II.

Washington physicians declare
that in some people the healing"
quality is far lower than in others,
trivial wounds bleeding for long
time before they can be staunched,
and then only by artificial means.
1t Is said that cases are on record
where man has bled to death
from a cut which in the average
person would close naturally within
one hour. II is thought that this
is the cause for young McFarland's
death. the fact that the wounds
were in the mouth, making II prac-
tically impossible to apply artificial
methods before the danger point
was passed.

But Extent of Trade Boom Is
to Be Measured by Ability

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-For
.bo first time since April 1, five
ana one-half months ago. President
Harding met with his cabinet today
Without the menacing shadow OF a
great national strike and impending
economic disaster overhanging the
conference table.
The atmosphere Of gloom and

business outlook for the country.
A canvass OF opinion revealed the
coucensus TO be that the nation Is

that will affect every major line OF

Some Industries Picking Up.
The "key" industries, such as
rails. coal and steel and textiles are
already showing signs OF picking
up. The railstrike is virtually set
lied. coal production is again in fun
swing in both bituminous and an
thracite fields, textile mills are get
ting under way, and the booming
OF the steel industry and allied lines
OF working men and increased prices
for basic products.
The extent to which the business
revival will go will be measured
by the ability Of the roads to handle
the business that will be thrown in
their laps for the next six months,
IN the opinion of Secretary of the
ATreasury Mellon.
"A Cabinet members frankly admitted
today the railroads are not in good
shape to handle the burdens that
