Dog owners who have escaped the payment of taxes in the past and who had counted on being able to escape this year are very much worked up today. It has suddenly developed that the city council is very much in earnest in its efforts to enforce the ordinance and clean up the town with the result that there is more excite ment among delinquent owners of canines than there has ever been siirje the ordinance went Into effect. Harry Hart, the famous dog catch er, is not only here but he is catch ing dogs and arousing the ire of those who have not paid licenses. Among the latter is George O'Daniel, who this afternoon went before District Attorney Phelps, and swore to a com plaint charging Hart with having pointed a gun at him and also charg ing him with carrying concealed wea pons. Hart is out after dogs and could not be found after the complaint was filed but O'Diir.;.-! claims the gun was pointed at him without any provoca tion. Hart has been sworn in as a special police officer and as such has a right to carry concealed weapons. He will also probably claim that he only drew the gun in self defense, after having seized O'Danlels dog up on which no license has been paid, though it has been delinquent since the first of thia month. Though Hart has been in the city for the past few days he did not start operations until last evening. A few hours work on his part 'placed 23 un tagged canines in the pound and the telephone in the office of the police court has beea kept busy since early morning by anxious owners. An ad ditional charge of one dollar is being made for every dog caught and this is adding to the flames of wrath. CTIIXESE FETE NAVAL MEN'. Festivities in Honor of American Sail ors Continue at Amoy.

E SUIT T REST OF WEEK WILL PROBABLY BE CONSUMED Kearney's Witnesses Being Severely Cross-examined by O. R. & N. At torney Brother of Injured Man on Witness Stand. The trial of the big damage suit of Clarence Kearney against the O. R. & NT. is proceeding slowly and it Is probable that the greater part of the week will be consumed. The plain tiff is still introducing witnesses and it Is certain that the defense will not have Its inning before tomorrow. The case is being stubbornly contested on each side. Ira Hughes, who was the first wit ness called for Kearney, was kept on the stand nearly all of yesterday af ternoon by Arthur Spencer of counsel for the defense. He was put through an extended and severe cross-examination but could not be shaken very much on the material points of his story, which were to the effect that the vestibule door had been left open between Echo and Pendleton. Hughes was corroborated in his ac count of the events of the night of the accident by H. C. Gard, who was also a member of the party. J. D. Mattheson. who was train master for the O. R. & N., was plac ed on the stand to show that the rules of the company which were In effect at that time provided that the mem bers of the train should keep the ves tibule doors closed. Mrs. C. M. Kearney, wife of the plaintiff, was on the stand this morn ing testifying to the illness of her husband following the fall and the condition he has been In since that time. Charles Johnson, the Pilot Rock sheepman, who came up from Port land on the train from which Kearney fell was also one of the witnesses of the day. He corroborated to a certain extent the testimony of Hughes and Gard. John Kearney, night police officer and brother of the plaintiff Is now on the stand. He Is telling of the find ing of the unconscious form of his brother, lying beside the railroad track about 700 feet west of Main street, on the morning that he fell from the train and also about the condition of his brother since that time.

POPE HAS NOT CUT OFF AMERICANS FROM HONORS Rome. The Report that the pope had eliminated the names of Ameri can candidates from the list of can didates for the cardlnalate has, upon Investigation, been found to be er roneously. It has been authoritatively denied and the idea such a step had been taken because Theodore Roose velt did not visit the pope was char acterized as ridiculous. It is pointed out by one of the Vatican officials that no list of can didates for the American cardinal ever existed. For more than two years, said the official, the pope had not held a consistory although there are many vacancies In the sacred college; but notwithstanding this, nothing has been arranged with reference to the next consistory, which, it is almost certain, will not be held until next winter, if then. All references to American candi dates, therefore, he said, was prema ture. The general opinion here Is that the pope does not Intend to ap point another American cardinal while Cardinal Gibbons Uvea. Paris, April 14. A dispatch receiv ed here from Rome says it Is stated In ecclesiastical circles the nomina tion of Cardinals which was expected to take place In May or June has been postponed until the end of the year. FORTUNES IN SMALL FURS. MI ST PAY DUTY ON STRAW COVERINGS TO BOTTLES Washington Chlantl and other fa mous Italian and French wines and cordials, made or bottled In this country, will probabty cost more as a result of a decision Just made pub lic by the treasury department. Bottles containing these and similar other kinds of goods are' usually cov ered with a straw plaiting, which was formerly considered sure proof of for fign origin. But It seems of late that there has been quite a trade In the Importation of empty bottles with straw coverings. Heretofore the treas ury department has allowed these to come in without additional duty, on the ground that they were used in good faith to protect the bottles from breakage. Recently, however, the depnrtment Investigated the matter and reached the conclusion that the straw cover ings or Jackets were not usual cov erings for empty bottles Imported In to this country. It appears that other varieties of empty bottles Imported at Boston and Philadelphia are Invariably packed in loose straw; at Baltimore the major ity came In bales of straw covered with burlap, and at New York only about 20 per cent are Imported In straw coven. Instructions have therefore been sent out by the department directing coliectors of customs to hereafter treat straw coverings on empty bot tles as if they were separately Import ed. This means that they will come In as "manufactures of straw" and pay a duty of 50 per cent ad valorem. Delaware Trapper Richer by Thou sands of Dollars This Year. Mllford, Del.
