Airedale Is on Trial for Catslaughter

CAN FRANCISCO.-The jury in the

discharged in the court of Judge Lille
T. Jacks.
The vote on whether DOrmie should

acquittal. The jury was composed of
eight men and four women.
II was a hard day for Dcrmie with
Mrs. Marjorie Ingals. the owner of
the late Sunbeam, positively identify
ing him as the fiend who slipped under
the hedge fence. She testified he came
into her back yard and seized Sun
beam by the back OF her sleek fat
neck. After several vigorous shakes
the cat was no more. The identifica-
tion was complete after Mrs. Ingals
passed up a Russian wOlfhound, n
spaniel and a giant mastiff as sus-
poets.
James Brennan. counsel for Dormie,
intimated that Sunbeam might have
left the premises. and come across
DOrmie's path and have aroused his
antagonism. To this Mrs. lngalS de-
cIared her pet never left the yard and
she was a perfectly good house cat
and never strayed abroad in search of

Methods of Financing.
II is pointed out in this third bull
letin that though community buildings
are financed in a number Of ways, as
individual donations, local industry,
well-eStablShed social or fraternal
organizations, by far the greatest
number are erected through the united
effort Of interested people and various
organizations of the community. When
the latter plan is employed the neces-
Sary money is obtained either by vol
untary contributions or by the sale
OF stock. Subscriptions are paid in
the form Of money. labor or mate
rialS.
Financing n building by general vol
untary contributions is suggested as
perhaps the simplest. quickest and
most elastc way, while incorporated
stock associations furnish more of the
elements Of financial permanency.
The community method of financing
has a number of advantages: ID
People are devoted to that TO which
they voluntarily subscribe; (2) this
method develops community cO-opera-
ton. promotes union, and decreases
antagonismS through the necessity of
different organizations and factions
working together i'm a financial cam

given from private funds. the people
are enabled to make experiments in

tate TO make with public funds or

Community Buildings.
In recent years there has been a
growing movement in the erection of
community buildings by the munich
pality through taxation. This method
also has its distinct advantages.
Maintenance expenses of community
buildings are met by dues. fees,
rentals and receipts from entertain
ments profits and concessions. Some
Of the best organizations maintain
their buildings entirely by annual dues.
In the case Of buildings financed by
an individual or by an industrial con
cern. a community association is gen
orally formed which guarantees the
maintenance Of the building as con-
dition of the donation.
Most community associations which
finance their buildings by issuing
stock. incorporate under the state
