JAPAN:

Japan, in the early days of her civil
ization, was isolated from the outside
world, and her dog population conse-
quently remained pure until about 60
years ago, when she opened her doors
to foreign trade.
In the Middle Ages, when she had
slight contact with Korea, China and
Holland, there was no import of dogs
and consequently Japan's three varie-
ties remained pure.
The middle provinces still retain a
few Of the pure-bred native dogs
known as the Shiba dogs, which are
used more for hunting beasts than
hunting birds. In the south Of the en-
pire, the native breed known as Shib-
ainu, has been intermingled with the
Chow, which it resembles. It is used
chiefly for fighting.
In the northern provinces the Akita
also a fighting dog, has probably beer
crossed with the Tibetan mastiff, the
most ferocious breed in existence (and
unknown in America) and resembles
somewhat the police dog.

So much for the native dogs of
Japan, which the writer has unearthed
after considerable research from old
volumes. Today, under the heading of
Japanese breeds the American Ken
mel Club recognizes only one - the
Japanese spaniel, resembling some
what the Pekingese of China. The
better specimens, however, all come
from the British Isles.

yoshi, his favorite tiger used to be fed
a dog day. One day a black and
white dog was thrown into the cage.
Against everyone's expectation, it
furiously sprang at the tigers throat
and would not let go, though torn by
the claws of the Infatuated beast, and
finally both of them died.
Hideyoshi, surprised at this unex-
pected precedent, started an investi-
cation, and found that the dog was
strongly attached to its master, man
from an inland province who had
taken the dog on hunting expeditions
every day.
The village headman, who hated the
dogs owner, had selected the animal
as food for the emperor's tiger. The
master, who had previous notice Of
his dogs fate, resented the headman's
mean scheme, and taught the dog to
kill the enemy first and then die.
In the end the headman was pun
ished and his property given to the
dogs master to console the animal,

pected to be given out remains to be
seen. There is widespread belief
among those informed OF impending
events that some mutually agreeable
face-saving phase will be put on the
affair. with little or nothing on the
surface to indicate that Mr.. McNutt,s s
retirement was anything but voluntary.
Despite the 1ndianan's appointment
to succeed Gov Murphy of Michigan
in the Philippines two years ago, he
has never really been in the affection
ate graces of the White House. Mr..
McNutt and Mr. Farley do not see eye
to eye, to put it mildly. The New Deal
political generalissimo never forgave
the Hoosier for his reluctance to get
aboard the Roosevelt bandwagon at
Chicago in 1892 When Mr.. McNutt
was in Washington last spring for his
mammoth ballyhoo reception, the
spectacular launching Of his presiden-
tial boom, the cup of Rooseyeltian
hostility toward him overflowed. It
reached flood tide in July when, to
bolster his 1910 ambitions by assuring
himself the support of Senator Van
Nuys, the Governor General and his
political neutenants gave the Roosevelt
purge program jolt which, in light
of subsequent events, seems to have
been the beginning of the end.
Had Set October l Date.
When Mr.. McNutt was last in
Washington, he impaired to Indiana
friends that he would leave Manila
not later than October l, 1898. He
said he intended to return to the
United States by way Of Europe, at the
special request Of President Roosevelt,
who had asked him to come home by
that route and give world conditions
the "once-over" for the administration
Mr.. McNutt further indicated that
he planned to spend the bulk Of next
winter and spring in Washington
to promote the progress of the Philip
pines legislative program. Assuming
this worked out satisfactorily, the
Hoosier Adonis who would be Presi-
dent, expressed the intention Of re-
signing at the end Of the current
fiscal year, June 80, 1899. Thence
forward, his friends understood, Mr.
McNutt would devote his time and
energy to furthering his hopes OF
becoming the Democratic Standard
bearer In 1910.

COMPLAINT FILED
IN SALE OF CANAL
Holder of $500 Bond Seeks
to Intervene in Transfer
to'Government.

Mrs. Elizabeth G. Grmwell. who
holds $500 bond of the Chesapeake

ton in District Court to intervene in
the scheduled sale Of the old c. A O.
Canal to the United States and certain
real estate to the Baltimore g. Ohio

Final ratification OF the sale of tho
canal to the Government for $4,000, 900
and real estate to the B. g. o. Railroad
Tor 100000 is slated to come up for
approval in District Court Monday.
Mrs. Grunwell filed her petition as
distributee of the estate OF Horatio
Allen, holder and owner of bond No.

September /. 1848.
Through Attorney Robert F. Coes.
we'll she asked the court to direct the
co-receiver of the canal company
properties. G. L. Nicolson, to file a
statement OF complete income and
disbursements. The court also was
asked to direct the receivers to advise
on what basis they fixed a value of
S2,0O0,000 as fair and reasonable"
for the properties to be acquired BY
the United States, and the value Of
100000 for the property to be sold
to the B. & o.
Mrs. Grunwell said no account Of
the management of the canal company
has been filed in District Court for a
number OF years, and that until this is
done, the value of her bond cannot be
estimated. She asserted the bond is
not worthless, as claimed by the
receivers.
Whether today's action will havs
any vital bearing on the final ratifl-
cation Of the sales remains to be de-
termined, court attaches said.

BLOODY TROUSERS
IN BROOKE TRIAL
CoIored Witness Tells How
Strips of Garment
Were Found.
F1 the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS. Ga, Sept. 1O.-Two
pieces Of q pair Of khaki slacks, the
type worn by soldiers. were introduced
today in the Federal Court trial of
Maj. John R. Brooke. jr., charged with
the murder of his wife Elizabeth, who
was beaten to death in her quarters at
Fort Benning June 8.
The trousers, bearing blood stains,
were found on the morning of June Q
by Calvin Gardner, colored, living on
the Army reservation.
He said he found one piece in q
ditch and another on the side of the
ditch bank about 20 feet away.
Hattie Gardner, the Negro's wife,
said Gardner gave her the pants to
sew together for him, but she found
blood on them and did not repair them.
The Government contends that when
Brooke left home on the day of the
tragedy he was dressed in slacks and
shirt and was in breeches and boots
when he returned after his wife's body
| was found.
The prosecution had witnesses ex-
anime and identify crumpled khaki
shirt placed in evidence yesterday.
Finding of the shirt was described
by Sergt. Ed Hudson, who testified it
was wadded up under fig tree near
Ochilee road, byway leading of one
of the main roads on the reservation.
The shirt, Hudson said, was wet and
laundry marks had been removed.
Pinholes Of what apparently was a
field officers insignia were visible in
the shoulder straps.

chief umpire Of infantry school
maneuvers, told the jury he saw Mai.

8. the day his wife was killed, but that
Brooke failed to speak to him although
they were 80 feet apart. Later. Brooke
arrived at the maneuvers camp by a
route which Robinson said avoided the

Wahl Less Experienced.
Mr.. Boston testified that former
Assistant District Attorney Harold
Hastings supplanted Mr.. Wahl in the
grand jury room only because he had
more technical experience as head OF
the indictment bureau.
He said that Mr.. Dodge himself di-
rected an action in 1885 to have Dixie
Davis disbarred as lawyer.
The famous 1885 runaway" grand
jury, Mr.. Boston said. bolted over the
desire OF certain jurors to indict Tam
many District Leader James j. Hines
The witness disclosed that the jury
baked at continuing its investigation
under District Attorney Dodge when
Mr.. Dodge's assistants advised them
there was mo valid evidence against
Hines at that time
The runaway jury's protest led to
the appointment of Mr.. Dewey as
a special racket-busting prosecutor at
the virtual insistence of Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman.
James D. c. Murray. noted criminal
lawyer, had previously testified that
Hines agreed to ''see' about blocking
the appointment of Mr.. Dewey because
the youthful rackets crusader was too
tough" and would ruin" the $40, ,O0O,-

him whether he did not believe suf-
fcient evidence existed to indict Hines
