"ALLEN C. McDONALD. Mayor." HUMANE SOCIETY TO BE CONSULTED ABOUT REGULATION OF DOGS City Commissioners to Confer With Members of Montgomery County Group. Before further action is taken on a proposed ordinance to regulate the conduct of dogs in Dayton, city cimmissioners will confer with representatives of the Montgomery County Humane society. This procedure was agreed upon Wednesday when several persons appeared before the and two letters were read, urging some such action to keep vicious dogs off the streets.

-The letters were from Mrs. Maude Deever, 1935 Malvern avenue, and Mrs. B. M. Shipley, 2021 Catalpa drive.

Commissioners at the same time introduced an ordinance assessing property owners from four to eight cents a front foot for street flushing last year. The total assessments reach $7,366. A final vote is due next week. An ordinance, also introduced for a final vote next week, provides that the Pennsylvania railroad put brighter lights along its tracks where they intersect with city streets. This action is taken because the city recently had to reduce the size of its street lights for economic reasons.

An ordinance to compel civil service employes of the city to reside within Dayton's corporate limits was given final reading and passed, as was another measure to pay a total of $1,980 to eight contractors on jobs 18 to 20 years old. The money due them was held up to pay for repairs in case any defects later were found in the work they did, but wasn't paid out as scheduled after five years had elapsed.

Present economic conditions furnish the main reason why the disarmament conference is bound to succeed, in the opinion of Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, of New York, who spoke Wednesday noon before several hundred Dayton women in the Miami hotel ballroom under the auspices of the Montgomery Council of Peace, Mr. Libby, guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Winters, said that statesmen at the conference dare not go home and confess failure because unless Europe settles down to peace there can be no recovery of world stability.

First, stability; second, confidence and then prosperity, Mr. Libby said is the economic law that must be followed. WEAK SPOTS. "The Shanghai incident, far from discrediting world organizations for reace, proves the necessity of remedying weak spots in the peace program," said Mr. Libby, "If Japan and China had been signatories of the so-called optional clause of the world court GARDEN SCHOOL TO BE HELD AT Y.

MAN ARRESTED FOR SELLING BAY RUM Judge Will Determine Status of Evidence in List of Intoxicating Liquors. An attempt will be made Thursday morning in the common pleas court of Judge Mason Douglass to determine whether or not bay rum can be classed as an intoxicating liquor. As a test case, John May, of Germantown pike, is under arrest on the technical charge of possession of liquor. Five pints of bay rum said to have an alcoholic content of 61. per cent are held by Sheriff Fred Wolf as evidence.

Deputies who made the arrest, charge that May has been selling bay rum and that such purchases are being made to use the tonic as a drink rather than for the obvious purpose for which it is manufactured. The case is expected to be an interesting one, there being no known precedent in law as to the status of bay rum in the list of intoxicating liquors.

Those whose names will appear on the ballot Thursday for president are Robert Landis, Bill Hall and Jack O'Brien, for secretary, Maxine Lohnes, Helen Rounds, Anne Baker; and for treasurer, Robert Pool, John Young and J. D. Fouts.

It's not a case of the early bird getting the worm--but of an early rooster disturbing the slumbers of residents living in the 800 block of Carlisle avenue that was causing worry for Police Chief R. F. Wurstner, Wednesday. Receipts of a letter describing the early morning activities of a rooster with a lusty voice, sent the chief into a huddle with himself as he searched for a course of action. As there is no law against the crowing of roosters, or any ordinance governing the time they shall express themselves, the police head found himself in a quandry.

He still is searching for a solution to the difficulty.

"She denies she has violated the Kellogg pact and the nine-power treaty but under this clause she would have had to defend her case 111 court. "On the other hand, instead of attacking China for alleged violation of the treaties of 1915, she could have summoned China before the court and this whole miserable business could have been avoided.

"The change wrought in the world's psychology by this infant Lusty Crow of Rooster Cause Of Complaints Municipal Dayton's funds for relief purposes probably will be exhausted by the latter part of May, the city commission was told Wednesday by Manager F. O. Eichelberger. The welfare department expended $52,000 in January and had disbursed $45,000 up to February he said. "At this rate, the $200,000 or so we will receive from the one-mil relief levy won't even carry us into June," Eichelberger declared.

Commissioners received the report without comment. Objects of interest in the Dayton public museum will be taken on tour of the public schools of the city auring the remainder of the school year, C. V. Courter, superintendent of schools, announced Wednesday morning. A committee headed by Frank C.

Stanton was named by the superintendent to meet with Sigmund Metzler, director of the museum, to arrange a plan for this tour. Others on this committee are Elizabeth R. Kemper, Bessie A. Weaver.

America ought to be sitting there with the rest of the world.

"Our absence is one of the great factors in the hesitancy shown by the league council. Tomorrow the combined forces of world opinion will be focused on Japan. It is the first time in history that world opinion could be formed in an emer- gency. STIMSON PLAN. "Stresemann, the German statesman, has declared repeatedly that if the league had been in existence in 1914 the World war would have been averted.

"I personally believe that Stimson's program is better than an economic boycott would be for the world to work on. If the league tomorrow adopts the Stimson plan of refusing to accept any decisions reached in the Orient that are contrary to international law as expressed in the Kellogg pact, the nine-power treaty and the league covenant, Japan will be forced to get out of Manchuria as well as Shanghai and find this war even more unprofitable than most wars have been." MUSEUM OBJECTS TO BE SHOWN STUDENTS Frank C. Stanton' Will Meet With Metzler to Make Plans for Tour. The Gospel Tabernacle of the Christian Missionary Alliance, 64 Burns avenue, is conducting a series of revival meetings every evening except Saturday until Sunday, March 20. The meetings are in charge of Evangelist "Irish" Keegan.

City commissioners are to confer with representatives of the Dayton Power and Light company next week to determine what terms shall be agreed to in a new franchise to be given the company to furnish steam and hot water in downtown Dayton. The old 25-year which expired last March, provided that the city get one per cent of gross revenue from the company's business on1 these two commodities. This reached $6,800 in 1930 and dropped to $5,400 in 1931. Commissioners, at their Tuesday conference, were undecided as to what percentage to ask in the new franchise.

They can set the rate for only five years, but can give a franchise for as much as 25 years. Property values, anticipated business and other statistics, as presented by the power company at the proposed conference, probably will be the determining factor in deciding the new rate and the length of the new franchise. Commissioners likewise decided that City Manager F. O. Eichelberger and Law Directon.

MONEY IN CLOSED BANKS EXEMPTED Tax Returns to Be Made by Officers in Charge of Liquidation Matters.

Persons having deposits or owning stock in banks which were taken over by the state banking department prior to November 24, 1931, need not return such interest in those institutions in returning intangible property for taxation. This ruling was received Wednesday at the office of County Auditor Joseph A. Lutz and applies to all depositors and stockholders in the Union Trust company. Under the ruling, made by the state tax department, such returns will be made by the liquidating agent of the bank. Returns are being made exceptionally slow and a warning was issued Wednesday by the auditor's office in charge of the returns, that such persons who fail to make returns on personal property taxable under the new laws, are subject to prosecution.

Blanks have not been mailed to every taxpayer in the city and county and must be filed out in duplicate.

SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLATURE URGED Asking That Street Fund Money May Be Used to Relieve Unemployed. sessions. Dayton's demand for immediate action on the part of the state legislature to relieve the unemployed here and in other Ohio cities will be reiterated Thurday. City manager F. O.

Eichelberger is to attend a conference in Mayor Henry. Worley's office in Columbus at that time to consider the situation. Mayors or city managers of Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown and Cleveland also will participate. PURPOSE OF MEETING. The purpose of the meeting, according to Mayor Worley's telegram Wednesday to Manager Eichelberger, follows: "We will outline a relief policy to be presented to Governor White and the joint taxation committee, in an united effort of larger cit.es to persuade the governor to call a special session of the legislature of Ohio." Manager Eichelberger believes the best plan to follow would be for the state legislature to enact special legislation allowing funds derived from gasoline taxes and auto license sales be used for more than street and road repair work.

$300,000 IN FUNDS. "We'll have $300,000 in our street fund here this year from those two sources. "If we could use that to help the needy and put the rest in the general fund, which will be short because of tax delinquencies, would be in much better shape, Eichelberger said. TWO BARNS BURNED WITH $10,000 LOSS Worker Injured in Attempt to Save 24 Hogs Destroyed in Liberty Road Fire. Fire of undetermined origin destroyed two large barns on the farm of Edwin Shively, Liberty road, with a loss of $10,000 late Tuesday afternoon and in an attempt to save 24 hogs destroyed in the flames, Fred Stupp, employed on the farm, received severe burns on his right arm and shoulder.

The alarm was answered by the. Lakeside fire department, and when firemen arrived they found the two buildings enveloped in flames. Attention of the fighters was directed to saving the house and other buildings, none of which were damaged. The two barns burned to the ground. Besides the livestock, the loss included 60 tons of hay, straw and fodder; a number of farm implements, including new tractor, a truck and hand mill.

The loss is partially covered by insurance. Neighbors formed a bucket brigade and managed to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings while the fire truck was on the way to the scene. Stupp was burned when his coat sleeve caught fire while he was trying to unfasten the door to the barn where the hogs were penned up.
