CITIES CANNOT KILL 006S SAYS SUPREME COURT Derision In Salem Cate Holds It Unconstitutional to Slay Impounded Caninet. According -lo a decition handed down in the aupreme court at, Salem yettcrday, Albany't dog ordinance it unconttitutional and hereafter there will be no excute for killing im pounded caninet or burying dogt and have Ihem come to life again. Latt winter tbe city of Salem patt ed an ordinance regulaiing dogt run ning at large in llie city, and made it a part of the ordinance that impound ed doga thould be killed three dayt after being taken up if no owner call ed to pay the fine on their pet. Sa lem dog lovert took the matter up on a constitutional batit and carried he matter to the circuit court, where Judge Galloway rendered a decition in their favor. The city appealed the cate lo the tuprcme court, and again the dog ownert were vindicated. The court holdt that the procedure of killing dogt after three dayt, if the ownert fail to appear and claim them, violatet the fundamental principle thai no peraon thall be deprived of hit property without due procett of law. Dogt, tayt the court, are regiribl in thit itatc at being jual at impor tant a clatt of peraonal property at any other domettic animal, and equal ly entitled to the protection oi the law. Albany't ordinance ia jaimilar to the one patted by the Salem council, except that it providct that dogt may be killed after 48 bourt if they are not called for by thai time. Mayor Curl hat inttructed the local police to arrctt all dog ownert who permit their dogt to run at lar.e and become a nuitance. The recent de- cition of the tuprcme court make it unconttitutional for cities to patt bills authorizing 'be killing of .logs, but il doet not ff'ect the rett if :he lKti or dinance. There will be a li'oral in.erprctv tion of ihc ordinance, but Ihe moment that a dog gett beyonl 'he control of tS- c i i e . it will be la'-' M up and the cwiivt fn:ed. The pot':? arc firm o ; .-r..

Immediately the front porchet of her neighbors, dumb wait- crt in apartment houtes, clubroom windows and other clearinghouses of gossip are ringing with the newt that a certain gentleman it paying entirely too much attention to a certain young lady who works in hit office. All the meannett and pcttineta of human na ture is fully shown up, which of course it unpleasant and at timet tincomfort able.
