The committee did not de- cide whether to hold ward mectings or a primary for the election of delegates to the next congressional convention.

ILLEGAL DEATH PENALTIES Mr. Sillers De’ends the gvhole Canine Bace. Dogs Cannot Be Killed for First Of- fense, Even When They Bite. * According to the decision of Judge Mil- ler rendered in the Police Court this morn- ing a number of death sentences have been illegally imposed and executed during the past few months. Under this decision Ernest Gerstenberg’s dog “Bismarck,” the big dog that is under a Police Court death sentence, cannot be legally cxecuted. This decision, which will result in saving the lives of many dogs, was rendered because of Lawyer Albert Sillers’ plea for the canines in the case of Mrs. Bertha Budin of No. 911 K street northwest, whose dog, it was charged, had bitten Mrs. ‘Tashop’s child on the arm. The Budins and Tashops are next-door neighbors, and when the injury had been inflicted the law was re- scrted to, and Jchn Weber, who is Mrs. Budin's ‘brother-in-law, was tried. He proved that he was not the owner of the dog and for this reason Judge Kimball dis- missed the case. When the warrant for Mrs. Budin was sworn cut her counsel, Lawyer Sillers, moved that the case be sent before Judge Miller, which was done, and the hearing took piace several days ago. Police Regulations. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, on behalf of the District, filed the charge un¢ the police regulations, section 3 of article % reading: “Any person viclating any of the pro- visions of sections 1 and 2 of this article shall, cn conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $20, and, in addition, in case of the biting of any Person (except upon the premises of tne owner of the animal so biting), the animal shall be adjudged to be killed, and on such jidgment shall be killed by any member of the police force; and in case of a second violation of any other provision of either of said sections, the animal, unless perma- nently removed from the District of Co- lumbia within twenty-four hours after such second offe all so be killed.” This section, Lawyer Sillers argued, the Commissioners had no authority to enact, for the veason thet it conflicts with the act of Congress relating to dangerous dogs. Under that act, he said, a dog cannot be killed for the first biting, and he read the section, which is as follows: Law of Congress, “If any owner or possessor of a fierce or dangerous dog permit the same to go at large, to the danger or annoyance of the inhabitants, he shall forfeit and pay for the first offense the sum of $10; for the second, $20, and upon a third cony' tion for the same offense the Commission- ers shall imme: ly cause the dog to be slain and buried Counsel also contended that the same act made a dog personal property, and its owner has the same right in the dog as he has in the watch he wears or in any other personal property. He cited the section of the act which declares: “Any dog wearing the tax tag hereinbe- fore provided for shall be permitted to run at large In the District of Columbia, and shall be regarded as personal property in all the ceurts of said District; and any person in- ivring or destroying the same Shall be lia- Me to a civil action for damages, which may be awarded in a sum equal to the value usually put upon such property by persons buying and selling the same, sub- ject to such modification as the particular circumstances of the case may make prop- er.” The Dogs Win. Counsel then argued that because of the act of Congress the Commissioners had not the right to enact the section of the regu- lations under which this charge was brought. These laws, he said, relate to lie ‘4 dogs, and the dog in this case was icensed. Mr. Pugh, for the District, argued in be- haif of the law. He eld that the Commis- sicners had the right to pass the regulation ard said that the matter had bee passed upon by Judge Kimball more than once “And for that reason,” said Lawyer Sil- lers, “I came up here as the Court of Ap- peals.”” Judge Miller read the different sections To fruits, Drawers, 17¢ morrow we will sell all 40-cent Candies, ii Inme prising tercups, Ragged Robins, and” other Wild Flowers.

He was clearly of the opinion that the Commission- ers had no right to enact this particular section, and, sustaining the point raised by Lawyer Silless, dismissed the case.

In ‘d to the paragraph published in The Star of yesterday implying that a de- cision just rendered by the United States patent office in the matter of the Fowler- Dodge :nvention affects the Mergenthaler patents, the presideat of that company, in an interview, says that the decision does not in the remotest degree affect the lino- type machine or its patents. The Mergen- thaler patents are, he says, long prior and entirely distinct, and, so far as they are coicerned, this ‘decision is of no import ance whatever. It relates only to a con- test hetwe-n two individuals about the in- vention of a detail improvement in a dif- ferent Kind of machine—a machine for aking a matrix by indenting into lead. The first decision was in Mr. Dodge's fa- vor, and he, claiming to be the real in tor, proposes to appeal. The Howard Medical Faculty.

The House yesterday, under the special order adopted last week, devoted the whole day to private pension bills. They were disposed of at the rate of about one every five minutes, fifty-eight in all being fa- vorably acted upon before adjournment. Among them were bills granting pensions to the widow of Gen. O. M. Poe, $50; the widow of Gen. Jameson, $50; the widow of Gen. John Newton, $75; the widow of ex- United States Senator George E. Spenser of Alabama, $50, and ex-Representative Smalls of South Carolina, $30. While the pension bills were being considered the committee of the whole rose informally and disagreed to the Senate amendments to the river and harbor biil, and sent it to conference. Later Hepburn (Iowa) raised the point that telephone (1092) to the Yale Laun- d business because it does the best work. ’Phone 1092. Monday is the day you should For the bath tub.
