Mrs. Cake, who disagreed with the officials of the league on the method of executing large dogs, expressed her views on the alleged mismanagement of the league in a letter to the director of the Chest. In other letters, published by The Star, she expressed dissatisfac- tion with the league’s method of chloro- forming large dogs instead of killing “In view of the continued attack upon \G\& " ‘ the administration of the Washington 3 F Animal Rescue League by Mrs. Marion Stuart Cake, an erstwhile director and | co-worker, with Mrs. M. R. Blumenberg, the former vice president, who was re- moved from the membership rolls of the league by vote at the January meet- ing of the board of directors, the house committee has decided to refute Mrs. Cake’s statements for the benefit of that part of the public who may find it impossible to make a personal in- spection of the league, though they are cordially invited to do so. Says Officer Made no Report. “When Mrs. Cake commenced visiting the Washington Animal Rescue League premises frequently and in a highly excited state, some 10 days ago, she was treated with every courtesy. When she summoned a police officer as a witness to our cruelty he made no report of the incident on the blotter at the pre- cinct station, but said, in answer to our query, that as far as he could see every- thing was all right; that it seemed to be only a difference of opinion as to whether chloroform or electricity were the most humane method of putting the animals away. “The statement that animals are closed in_ chloroform boxes and slowly suffocated to death is without founda- tion in fact. The boxes are charged slowly and the animal goes to sleep quietly and easily. “To quote Mrs. Cake: “This work of destruction has been going on now for more than two weeks, as I was told last Saturday by two of the present officers of the league. It is going on notwithstanding there is still installed, as there has been for years, an electric lethal chamber, which the official in- spection reporfs show is in perfect working order.” “Neither of the two officers made the statement that anything but small ani- mals were chloroformed. It would have been untrue and ridiculous, since the most skillful veterinarian service of the city has been employed to put away the large animals and the emergency cases where the injured animal was too large for the chloroform box. Feel no Fear of Criticism. “In the letter which Mrs. Cake in- dited to the Chest in an effort to have our funds withheld from us she makes the statement and charges mismanage- ment and insanitation. We feel that the Chest is competent to satisfy itself and the public with the present admin- istration of the funds allotted. And the District health office having given us a clean bill of health this week, we feel no fear of just criticism along that line. She says: ‘The place reeks with distemper.” It would not be strange if a harbor such as this for the derelicts of dogdom did reek, but that such is not the case can be vouched for by at least three leading veterinarians. “The house committee is responsible for the discontinuance of the use of the electric cage. Not having the funds necessary for the constant attendance of a skilled veterinarian and trained help in the use of the cage, we have had grave doubts of the painiessness of the death meted out by it, and for this reason have discontinued its use while we are investigating to find and obtain the latest. most approved.method of elimination, and when we have found it the pubiic may rest assured it will De installed. Investigation Declined. “The house committee joins Mrs. Cake in the request and have even finally demanded to have our methods investi- gated by the Humane Society, but up 10 this time have been refused by both the president, Mrs. Elmore, and the secretary, Mrs. Heap. “The “house committee is spreading its names upon the record here, know- ing that as each and every woman so named is known so well and_ favorably for her work among animals that it cannot fail to convinee the public that they would be the first to condemn any but the kindest treatment for the poor derelicts in our charge. “MRS.
