Dog Which Aided h Winning War Is
 Victim of Poisoner

Selma. August 5.-tSpecial. )- Memories of the war, when everyone did his bit, were brought back today. when 1t was learned that Jack" a bird dog belonging to D. c. Russell in Ire mont street. was the fifth victim of wholesale poisoning of an- inamsl In the vicinity of Dallas and Mabry streets.
 Jack" was prize dog, and because he held this recognition. he was the means of Increasing the funds with which the Red Cross carried on It's war work.
 During the great drive the dog was auetioned off, and Mir. Russel became the possessor of the an- imal, and the money that he paid went perhaps to buy bandages for some wounded soldier here or in France
 But Jacks" days of usefulness were ended when he died after eating some of the poison be- lieved to be strychnine, that killed four other dogs in the neighborhood Wednesday night.
 Every effort was made to save the dogs life. and even oxygen was Administered, but the deadly poison had gotten It's hold.
 A great deal of feeling still exists in the particular neigh borhocd, and over the city in general over the poisoning of the dogs. Several clues have been followed but 1t has not been def initely established who was the perpetrator of the poisonings.

Machine Plan to Eliminate Pri-

BY FRED T. DUBOIS,
Former United States Senator From
Idaho.

(rhe only man who ever sat in the United
states Senate once as Republican
and once as Democrat)
fCopyriRht, 1922 by Cosmopolitan News
Service.)
Although Senator Borah's present
term in the Senate does not expire
for two years more, Borah Is fighting
for his political life right now. l
have just returned from Idaho, and
l know what the situation Is in the
State.
Senator Borah has the whole Re-
publican State machine against him.
Senator Borah is ultraprogresslFe
and about every other politician
in the State il ultraconservatiVe'
Through the efforts Of the Repub-
lican machine, the direct primary
was abandoned in Idaho, and the
convention system holds sway.
At the Republican convention this
wear, where candidates were named
for all State offices and for the
House and Senate, a plank was put
in the platform in opposition to
restoring the direct primary. Sena-
tor Borah was told, when he got
out to his homo State, that he must
not oppose this and must not CAM
paign against 1t.
Senator Borah told the machine
men Of his party in Idaho that he
would campaign against 1t. And he
is doing that now.
The people of Idaho are strongly
for Senator Borah, while the poll.
ticians Of his party are strongly
against him. Borah knows that II
the convention system Of nominating
Is in force two years from now,
when he comes up again for election,
there is no chance of the Idaho Re
publican machine naming him as Its
candidate. He knows that he has
two years in which to organize the
sentiment among the people OF the
State and overturn the plans OF his
party to knife him. And he Is max
ing the most of his knowledge. ]
think he will win out.
The situation In Idaho puts Sena-
tor Borah into the position of fight
ing his own party. As have said,
I expect he will win. In my recent
trip, / scanned the political situa-
tion closely In other Western States,
and find that Senator Borah Is re-
garded by the people Of the progress
sive West as about the biggest man
on the political horizon.

increase In the offerings OF tho

as demand from buyers was suffi-
cient to absorb most OF these offer.
ings at current levels. The bulls
are always hoping against hope
that each successive shakeout VIII
be the last In the series. and that
substantial basis for another ad-
vance will soon be established. But
traders as a whole are wary of the
market. and commission houses are
not disposed to permit the pyramid.
ing of paper profits. In view OF the
sudden swings that have been the
rule rather than the exception In
recent weeks.
Price changes during the first
hour We're about equally divided be.
tween advances and declines. The
steel stocks showed the most reac-
tionary trend. while the rails oils
and industrials sold into higher terri.
tory. United States Steel. after Its
three point rise. was the logical
target for the bears, and. under
quite heavy liquidation 1t declined
more than a point from yesterdays
close, recovering most Of this by
noon. General Asphalt continued
under pressure and lost about two
points more, breaking through 81
for new low price for the year.
The independent steels did better,
continuing the advance which feat
ured their previous close.
May Department Stores sold up
5 points more at 1853. National Bis.
cult was up seven at $50, new high
about IA. at 54h. Kelly Spring
field. IN. at 44x. The Market Street
stocks all sold higher, the common
up 2, at IL; preferred, up IN. at
4lh; second preferred, up 3, at 2S,
and the prior preferred up 2h. at
1871.
The so-called independent Oil
stocks led a forward movement just
before the noon period on reports
that all Of these companies would
command higher prices on their
contracts for 1923 deliveries.
This is due both to the increas-
ing demand for oil products for
domestic consumption and to the
probable falling off in Mexican pro.
duction. Cosden, Sinclair, Pro-
ducers and Ref.ners, Royal Dutch
and California Petroleum were the
leaders in this rally.
Railroad shares were only mod
erately active and prices fraction
ally higher on the better grade OF
dividend stocks. Only scattering
sales of Mexican Petroleum were
reported, pending the decision Of
the stock exchange authorities as
to the statue Of the outstanding
stock. Call money rates ruled at
5h per cent.

In regard to ''impounded funds
