BERKELEY DOGS STIR
GERMAN SAVANT'S IRE
Judge O. Cless Appeals to
Police to Suppress.
Noisy Canines
HIS SLEEP IS BROKEN
Distinguished SojournerSays
Warnings to Neighbors
Are Ignored
BERKELEY. May 27. — Spurred by an-
ger which Berkeley dogs had inspired.
Judge O. Cless, a distinguished savant
from Europe, who Is temporarily so
journing In Berkeley, has appealed to
the police. department to rtd the town
of the animals which hay© disturbed
his sleep, spoiled his peace of mind
and finally hava moved aim to ; epistol
ary, efforts calculated to work tha da
struction of the offending canines.
Judge Clesa la a jurist whose career
in Germany was marked by noteworthy
achievements. Ha la now compiling 1
various literary works and is using the
treasures of the university library for
his : purposes. His picturesque flcuYe
often 'attracts the attention of visitors,
and he is ranked as one of the town's
claims to distinction. ,'
Great ". trials or unusual misfortunes
do not greatly disturb Judge Cless, but
the howl of tha "bowwow" offends him
mightily and moves him to wrath. Inci
dentally inducing him to take his pen
in hand and plead with the polfca to
execute vengeance upon tho pups and
other impedimenta to his peace. Judgs
Cless is a German scholar, but pretends
to •no especial skill in threading the
maze of English idiom and parts of
speech. His complaints and appeals to
theroliee are in part as follows:' .
I am much obliged to 700 that once 70a bad
the kindness to stop the , mischief of a lady
nHgbbor, as proprietor of a dogr. wbo was-ned
to walk and bark on the streets . at niffht. I
bad written to 70a that. there are f«w of this
kind. Already, . about . two weeks ago I fonod
the second who la even mad. ' He belongs to a
Mrs. Powerly, 1958 Delaware. Powerly feed
him and :he la lrrtns? ' 00 - the atre«t walkinz

lion and \u25a0 nse this roice altrays. with intertQ?
tfons. dallr and night. It U terrlbl* or«r de
scription. He la a red, brows, large, old dog.
a little lame.
Judge Cless* latest complaint to the
police concerns a dog in Grant street.
an animal which completely- falls to
gain any part of his approval or es
teem. Concerning the situation in
Grant street Judge Cless -writes to
Chief Vollmer as follows:
I lire la Grant street. Sir. ' (or Mrs.) role?
corner of Grant and Bancroft keep two n;ty
dors which (eapeclauy one) disturb the neigh
bors at night In an awfol manner. Once. I wrote
him asking him to do hla dntr to his cltlxea
fellows. Afterward It was all right for a short
while. I beg respeetfnll7 to canae the people
yet - this erenlng to keep his dogs, v» soon as
the daylight Is past, la a barn or la their honse
If they not wanted to be arreated Immediately
after ay next complaint.
