Dog
Continued From First page.)

they found Monk with forepaws plant
ed upon the body Of his master, de-
Tending it with bare fangs from his
old enemies.
Turk Wallace had been arrested
score of times in the past. His record
dated back to 1902. There were at
least eight arrests on charges Of assault
with various weapons, and as many
for disorderly conduct. He had served
two terms for assault with intent to
kill.
Dog Blamed Police.
Monk the alley dwellers said, blamed
the separations from his master upon
the police. He was distrustful of all
white men, and particularly hated
policemen.
The dog drew back his head and
snarled over Wallace's body.
The policemen sent for Lieut. c. j.
Weber of No. 2 precinct. and mean
while locked up the Stitt woman for
investigation. The lieutenant. a lover
of dogs, tried to reason with Monk,
but the big German shepard only
growled deep in his throat.
The police resorted to tear gas
Monk covered in the singing fumes,
but stuck to his post.
A colored man who raised dogs and
knew Monk was found. The man put
on heavy leather gloves, grabbed the
dog and dragged him away while
Monk howled and struggled.
Wallace had been dead for some
time. Police sent for homicide squad
detectives and the coroner. Mean
while, Monk suddenly returned. He
had been tied by rope in an ad-
joining alley but had chewed the
rope in two. A fragment still hung
about his neck.
While the investigation into his
masters's death went forward, Monk
was removed seven times from the
body and as many times returned.
The last time he had been inclosed in
q shed and had broken through q
door.
Monk arrived for the seventh time
as the police photographer from
headquarters was setting up his
camera. He climbed upon the body,
barred his fangs and the photographer
withdrew to . safe distance before
swapping his pictures.
Monk was again restrained as the
Morgue wagon drew up and Wallace's
body was loaded inside.
AS the vehicle pulled out of the
alley, Monk broke free and raced
after it. He lost the wagon in traffic,
however, and returned to the scene
of his masters death and refused to
bulge.
There the dog was found by the
dead mans relatives and returned
to Wallace's shack in Reeves court,
near Second and r streets. This
morning a photographer went to the
house to take Monks picture.
The dog, however, was wild with
grief. A member of Wallace's family
went to the door of q room in which
Monk was confined and tried to calm
him. The dog raved and tried to get
at the colored man.
Mister" said the man, there's
only one man who can do anything
with that dog. and he amt comm
here no more!"

NEW SEA M|SHAPS
REPORT SENT OUT
Also Unauthorized Despite
Discharge Of Two NaV-
cation Heads.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tho As8ociateo PresS.
Another apparently unauthorized"
report on sea mishaps was forwarded
to the press last night after Secretary
Roper had defended the dismissal of
two officials for alleged "insubordina-
ton" IN connection with q previous in
cident.
The usually soft-spoken cabinet
member banged table at his press
conference yesterday while discussing
the ousting. effective Saturday. Of
Comdr H. Mccoy Jones and Frederick
l.. Adams from the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton and Steamboat Inspection.
Roper said the dismissals were oc-
casioned by characterization" His
assistant, Col. John Munroe johnson.
added that the characterization" was
violent and explosive" The dis
charged pair had declined to answer
questions relative to the "unauthor-
lied" release few weeks ago Of re.
port criticizing sea safety requirements.
In Bureau Envelope.
But even as Harry Daniel, chief of
Commerce Department publicity, as
serted to newsmen the intention of
department officials to supervise"
what reports should and should not
be released on the basis Of accuracy
and completeness" press associations
received copies Of new report from
the Inspection Bureau
q It was mailed in bureau envelope
and listed maritime casualties" for
January, including 43 deaths. Accu-
racy OF its statistics was confirmed by
Joseph B. Weaver, director of the bu-
reau, to whom the report was attrib-
uted, but both Weaver and Daniel said
they knew nothing Of its release.
Weaver added that he regretted" its
publication "in this manner"
Feeling obviously was running high
in official department circles over the
entire affair. At the press conference,
Col. Johnson, who sat beside Roper,
was asked if one Of the men dismissed
told him to go to hell" Clenching
his fist, he replied:
mo. He would not have been dis
missed II he had done that"
Won't Resign Now.
Weaver sat quietly during the con-
ference. AS the immediate superior
Of Jones and Adams, he had recon-
mended dismissal of charges against
the former and transfer of the latter
to another department. He said he
would not resign until after sea safety
legislation now before Congress is en-
acted.
Jones said at the conference there
had been many immature and mac
curate" news leaks, both before and
after the inquiry involving Jones and
Adams, and that he was trying to find
solution OF the problem.
| Adams has charged johnson and
Malcolm Kerlin, executive assistant
to Roper, with trying to block passage
Of the sea safety legislation.
Roper, without saying at whom he
was hitting, asserted he was the first
to recommend that shipping admins
tration be removed from the depart
ment and centralized in a maritime
commission. and added:
For anybody to say that we are
trying to prevent enactment of that
legislation in order to hold patronage
| in this department Is to make a
SANDER upon the fact.
For it to be said we were sending
men out of town to keep them from
supporting this program We have been
so welded to continuously Is another
SANDER"

said the present situation in Georgia
"was deliberately brought about by

campaigning against Roosevelt in the

The Governors statement came on
the heels Of move by State Senator

cause of the Governors efforts to
operate the State this year without an
appropriations bill.

backing up q suspended treasurer"
Talmadge said, "in taking over $40
100000 worth of bonds out OF the
vaults of the State.
Misuse Of Mails Charged.
'They have gone to the length OF
having the United States mail to
take letters containing checks away
from the legal controller general and
the legal State treasurer of Georgia.
