It states the Governor is much pleased with the response he has received from various officials and quotes at length latters received on the subject. The Governor is quoted as making this statement: ”It is gratifying to know that every State official and trustee of State Institutions from whom I have received a reply is heartily in accord with the policy to reduce expenses In conducting the business of the State. Officials agree with me that this is the time t save, and the sentiment expressed in their letter? indicates that every item which calls for an expenditure of State funda will be most carefully considered.

U. S.-GERMAN PEACE TREATY SIGNED TODAY (Continued From Page One.) Hughes go to the Capitol to appear before a meeting of the full committee of the Senate Foreign Relations body. That session proved a veritsble triumph for the Administration as Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock. Nebraska, ranking Democratic member of the committee and most stalwart champion of Woodrow Wilson's treaty policies, emerged from the committee room with the statement: “I see no reason why the treaty will not be ratified promptly.” SEE NO OPPOSITION FROM DEMOCRATS. With that comment faded any rrospects for a serious Democratic fight on the ratification of the treaty. A solid Democratic vote might block it. Mr. Hitchcock indicated the Democrats would be almost solidly for ratification. He said he recognised the necessity for restoration of peace between the United States and Germany. The Democrats appeared to be content that the submission of a treaty of peace with Germany recognized the impotence of the Knox resolution to restore the peace statue. During his testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary Hughes was asked the direct question as to the probability that the associates of the United States in the war with Germany—Great Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Belgium and the others—would feel a deep resentment over the conclusion of a separate treaty. Mr. Hughes replied that the principal allied powers had been sounded out on the matter and were in full accord witn the position of the United States, but one other possibility for trouble remained as to what would the Republican irreconeilables say as to the treaty since by Inference it recognized the existence of the treaty of Versailles, on which they ponred the vials of their hatred. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, high priest of the bitter-ender cult, said: ”7 he Administration has mnde a conscientious effort to carry out the provisions of the Knox resolution.” HARDING’S FIRST DIPLOMATIC VENTURE. He would not commit himself as to general approval of the treaty In advance of a careful reading of its provisions. Mr. Hughes did not leave a copy with the committee. It was believed, however, Mr. Borah's reluctance to give his full approval to the instrument was predicated on a maximum of caution. Any possibility of Republican opposition to ratification appeared too remote for serious consideration. Thus Is ended the first step in the Initial diplomatic undertaking of President Harding. His treaty of peafe Is received with almost unanimous acclaim, even by the Democratic supporters of Woodrow Wilson, who predicted once that failure of the treaty of Versailles would result in Senators Lodge and Knox gting to Berlin hats In hand to beg an arrogant Germany for an agreement. The treaty negotiated by Secretary Hughes is surprisingly short. Those vho heard It placed its length at about fifteen hundred words. It will be submitted to the Senate in September, the desire being to have the German Reichstag consider it at the same time. That body :a assembles Sept. 20. The treaty, for th most part, sought to write into covenant form the principles of the Knox resolution, which was a legislative declaration by the United States of the rights and interests for which this Nation contended in terminating the technical status of war between the two countries. Although the Administration has cot promulgated the formal proclamation of peace, due to legal difficulties growing out of the Knox resolution. the treaty with Germany is predicated on recognition of the efficacy of that declaration.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. lIEI.D ON TIGER CHARGE. John Wolf, 948 West Pearl street, was arrested today by Sergeant Sheridan and squad on a charge of operating a blind tiger. Three pints of ‘'white mule 4 ' whisky and three empty bottles were .found in his home, the officers say. ,

No Action on Legality of Killing Crippled Canine Court Sees No Malice on Part of Dr. McKinstray in Slaying of Dog.

Dr. H. R. McKlnstray, 3538 Carrolton avenue, who was charged with petit larceny and malicious destruction of prop-, orty as a result of the disappearance of a Pekinese dog belonging to Mrs. Skiles E. Test, Rural route K 1, was discharged by Judge Walter Pritchard in city court yesterday afternoon. Dr. McKlnstray was accused' of having had the dog killed and with keeping a harness which was on the animal. Mrs. Test testified the dog, which she rained at S7OO apd which she had possessed for seven years, disappeared the night of July 8. She said she went away from home the evening of that date and when she returned the dog was gone. She declared it had been In the charge of a colored man whose duty it was to care for the dog. She told the court the animal bad been injured and It was necessary to keep a large canvass. bag over its rear quarters, which were’ dragged on the ground. David Johnson, the negro who had charge of the dog, told the court he saw it going down a hill in front of the Test home and he ran after it. He said when he reached the road the dog was gone and an automobile had Just na BI'TIJCR ADVISED KILLING THE DOG. Dr. George W. Butler, who is connected with the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, testified Dr. McKlnstray had called him and told him a dog had been brought to his home uud that he believed it should be killed. He said li called Dr. Elizabeth Conger and told her it would be humane to kill the dog, and added Dr. Conger told him she would s:nd someone for it. “As it rule don’t you send two doctors to examine clogs?” Sidney Miller, deputy prosecutor, nsked. The defense objected an! the question was withdrawn. On cross-examination Dr. Butler said Dr. McKtnatray told him he had looked in the newspapers for advertisements for the dog and had found none. At this point Mrs Test was recalled to the stand. She testified she had placed advertisements in the newspapers and that she had a response from Dr. McKlnstray two days after the dog disappeared. Bhe said the doctor had talked to her sister. She also testified the harness was worth SB, but she made no demand for its return.

Dr. Conger was called to the stand and when asked her connection with the dog pound said it had to do with "friendly supervision.” She declnred she had talked with Dr. Butler about the dog and that he had aftked her to send someone to kill it. She also stated she hrd been told the dog was killed at once, a! though it is customary to hold them from five to seveu days. DOG POUND EMPLOYE TESTIFIES. Otto L. Holderraan, an employe of the dog pound, told the court he went after the dog and had obtained it from a woman at Dr. McKlnstray’* house. He said he did not see Dr. McKlnstray and that he immediately took the dog to the pound and killed it. He ssid he knew it was a valuable animal, but that he did not examine it closely. Holderraan stated the dog had no harness on it and that If it had lie would have investigated Its ownership. He thought it was Dr. MrKlnstray's dog. he testified. The dog was not valuable in the condition in which he found it, he stated on crossexamination. At this point the State rested and Dr. McKlnstray was culled to the stand. The doctor said the dog was brought to his house aboqt o’clock July 8. He described the dog as being deformed and as wearing a canvass bag over its rear quarters. .He stated tbe bag hail a large hole in it an dtbut (he skin was worn off the dog's legs. Ho saw no advertisement until two days after the dog was killed and lie then Immediately railed on the Tests, Dr. McKlnstray stated. In answer to a question as to whether any one had communicated with him later about the dog he said Joseph J Ryan, an attorney employed to assist the State, called on him and asked him who gave him the dog. He told Mr. Ryan he had nothing to say. Ivater, he said, Mr. Ryan i ailed him by telephone and told him he would tell him where he got the dog. but the doctor replied he did not wigh the charges dismissed. On cross examination. Mr. Ryan asked him who brought him the dog and he

replied it was brought to his house by Dr. B. H. Moon. He said Dr. Moon told him he had found the dog in the road and had brought it to town to see what was the matter with it. Dr. McKlnstray in closing his -testimony, exhibited the harness and the bag. Mr. Ryan told the court he believed Dr. Mclvinstray acted maliciously in the manner in which he had the dog killed. Tbe court replied he could see no malice in it. Mr. Ryan said Dr. McKlnstray certainly knew the dog belonged to some one and that he had directed it killed. The court held the doctor legally was poworless to order the dog killed at which Mr. Ryan rtmarked “nine of the persons Involved followed the law.” Nothing more was said concerning the legality of the manner In which the dog was killed. TO COMPROMISE CONTROVERSY? Receivers Seek Return of Street Guarantee Bonds. Compromise of a controversy of several years' standing between the city and receivers for the German Investment and Securities Company over the refusal of the city to release from $5,008 to $6,000 worth of street guarantee bonds the receivers claim la due the defunct compan> was suggested today by J. W. Thompson, representing the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company and the Union Trust Company, the receivers. The proposal was made to John L. Elliott, as slstant city civil" engineer, and Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby. It was taken under advisement. The German Investment and Securities Company, a* part of the regular business, bought Barret law bonds from e’reet contractors. In this way it became the assignee of contractors' claim* against the city upon dozens of street improvements. During the last year of the previous city administration, it is said, city officials permitted the company to collect the entire amount due upon forty-two street improvement projects, failing to retain the 10 per cent guarantee the law provides for each. It was understood. It is said, the com pany would put up bonds for tbe guarantees later. The present administration claims the company never put up the guarantee and meanw'hlie went Into the hands of the receiver. However, prior to the time the company became assignee on the forty two afreets for which gurantees are said not to have been provided, the city had retained guarantees on other projects for which the company was assignee, such guarantees totaling the $5,000 or $6,000 the receivers now seek to collect. The guarantee periods on these streets have expired from time to time during the past three yean, but the city, on advice of Mr. Ashby, has refused to release them to the receivers, holding them as securities for the keeping in repair of the fortytwo streets upon which there areno guarantees. Attorneys for the receiver, it is understood have threatened to bring suit if the city does not release tho bonds soon. The city, !t Is said, would like to hold the bonds until the guarantee periods of the forty two unguaranteed streets expire next year but does not like to face the threaten**! suits. Mr. Thompson suggested the city engineering department inspect the fortytwo unguaranteed streets and tell the receivers what repairs aro necessary, wnereupon the receivers would put them in good shape If the city would release the disputed bonds.

PASTOR DEFINES CHRISTIANITY ‘Succession of Duties to Which God Judged Us Equal.’ “Christianity,” as defined by Dr. Paul S. Leinbach in his talk before the pastor’s class today held in connection with the Ninth Annual Missionary Conference of the Reformed Church being held at the Y. W. C. A. this week,” “is a succession of duties to which God has Judged us equal.” The theme of his talk was “Inverted Egotism," particular stress being laid on the refusal of pasture to do the tasks laid out for them giving as their excuses inability and their admission that they are too Insignificant to accomplish such a big Job. In speaking of various kinds of pastors he stated tbe difference between a poor minister and a good one was th, poor pastor has to say something and the good one has something to say. The most common excuse or evasion he said is "send somebody else,” which is the easiest way out of doing a thing. “The easy way,” he said, "is the path of least resistance and that path of least resistance leads to hell.” Following Dr. Leinbach’s remarks a general discussion was conducted. This afternoon a picnic, with stunts, contests and games, was held under the direction of the reoreation committee, with the Rev. Gebhardt as chairman.
