DOG TRUST'S
BARK LIDS
IT IN COURT
W. G. Rockefeller, August Bel*
mont and Other Millionaires
Sued by Western Breeder
"Combine" Accused of Robbing
Blue Blooded Beasts of Their
Noble Ancestry
In the firm belief that the bark of
the American kennel club is worse than
its legal bite, the National dog breed
ers' association, a rival organization
•which has been gTowling and snapping
et the other for some time past, threw
hesitancy to the winds yesterday and
vailed in for a finish fight, bringing
*uit for $1,500 damages on the strength
nf the Sherman anti-trust act in the
federal court and formally complaining
to the United States district attorney
that the American kennel club is a
trust in restrain of trade.
The suit is brought through TV. E.
Chine, k doe fancier of San Francisco,
and the complaint made by Henry B.
I-ister. ' an attorney and president of
the Marin kennel association. The lat
ter asks that warrants be issued for
the arrest of the officers, who include
August Belmont. William O. Rockefel
ler Jr.. a nephew of the oil magnate;
Howard Wiliets; K. K. Bloodgood. J.
W. Apploton. Edward Brooks, Chet
wood Smith and John H. de Mund. all
of whom are New York millionaires of
sporting proclivities.
TO TUB BOW WOWS WITH YOU
The claim of the complainants is that
the American kennel club, while nom
inally an organization formed for the
purpose of improving the breed of
dogs, has developed into a. money mak
ing concern and has arrogated to it
self powers and privileges which give
it complete monopoly of the dog trade.
And furthermore, that its officers and
directors have conspired to restrain
and limit this trade to those friendly
to the organization. Those who have
refused to obey the commands. It is
held, are politely requested to go to the
demnition bowwows.
Tributt. it is asserted, is levied tn"e
country over, and dealers who have
refused to pay have. had their animals
stricken from the rolls of the stud
book, the act taking from their dogs
all official pride of ancestry and all
hope of posterity.
A vital part of Chute's complaint
surrounds the. stud book. By an act of
congress passed recently, the American
kennel club was made the official cus
todian of the pedigrees of pups of high
degree. Blue blooded animals brought
to this country were allowed to go
through the customs free of charge if
they were registered with the club and
enrolled on the stud book. This made
the club the official medium for every
thing aristocratic in the canine line,
dogs of nobility having a greater value
than many of the foreign human nobil
ity, and the duty, at tlme6, being ex
ceedingly high. The aim of congress in
granting the privilege was to improve
the breed of dogs in the United States;
but It is the complaint of the National
dog breeders' association that It gave
the kennel club practical control of the
<!og business in that anyone who did
rot obey the dictates of the club was
rot allowed the privilege of the stud
book.
HORROR ON HORRORS
"Every dog fancier knows what that
means." said Henry B. Lister, attorney
for Chute. "Take the su^. brought by
Chute. He is a dog fancier with a
profitable business. He does not belong
to the American kennel club, nor has
tc anything to do with it. A short time
\u25a0go he acted as judge at a show in
Larkspur, given by the Marln kennel
association, and which was governed
by the rules of the National dog breed
ers' association. In this he committed
the offense of associating himself with
a.; show which was not under the
auspices of the American kennel club.
"A. short time afterwards he received
c letter from the American. kennel club
informing him that he ha<j violated the
rules ot the organization and that he
\u25a0was disbarred and disqualified from
using the stud book; also, that he
would not be allowed to exhibit a dog
In any show. He was blacklisted and
his name published throughout the
country as a breeder who did not re
ceive official sanction.
"Kow the main reason for the Ameri
fan kennel club showing this desire to
neve shows held under its auspices is
that In every such instance the pro
moters of the show have to pay $25
»nd 25 cents a head is charged for
•very dog exhibited. In' the face of
ihe numerous dog shows In this coun
try It can be readily seen what a lucra
tive business this must be. In, return
th« club gives some cheap medals to
the prize winners and officially dubs
them champions. The American ken
nel club is a New York corporation of
two years* standing. Necessarily the
dog fanciers of the west objected to
this continual drain,' for co far as we
could find out the money was being ex
pended in paying salaries to a num
ber of offlcers and in maintaining a
clubhouse in New York. There was
bo opposition, however, until a few
months ago -when objection was raised
to the judging of dogs In shows under
the ausp!ces of the American kennel
eluh. A number of us were not satis
fled with it and formed our own organi
zation and started the fight against
the trust.
PITY O\ DOGS
;'Our main contention is that while
the American kennel club may do what
it pleases with its own members it
certainly has no right to dictate to
those outsidf its ranks as It did to
Chute. The act of congress which gave'
It control of the stud book did not
mean that It had the power to state
what dogs ehould be enrolled. , Chute
has contracted to import three dogs
from England, and because he acted
as a Judge in a show not sanctioned
by this eastern organization he Is told
he can not use the stud book and there
fore must pay duty. Such tactics are
bo high handed that they are ridicu
lous."
Lister's statements are, in effect, the
came as those contained in the suit
for damages and also form the basis
of the complaint to the United States
district attorney In which he asks for
the arrest of the officers of the kennel
club. Named as defendants in the
damage suit are members of the Pa
cific advisory board of the American
kennel club: W. W. Stettbelmer. Nat.
T. Messer. Norman J. Stewart and J. p.
Norman. •
"I Was requested," said Lister, ,**to
aak« a formal complaint which is to be
forwarded to the attorney general of
the United States. If the facts war
rant the claim, the United States will
begin suit to restrict ' the powers of
the American kennel club to the state
of New York and to enjoin It from pre r
venting any bona fide importer" from
registering dogs under the privilege
granted by congress."
Speedy Boat Will Inaugurate
New Era in River Traffic
STEAMER READY
FOR LAUNCHING
Splendidly Equipped Vessel,
"Capital City," Is to Be
Launched Next Saturday
The California transportation com
pany's new steamer Capital City will
be launched at 4:30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon from the shipyards of
Schultze, Robertson and Schultze,
South San Francisco. The vessel, built
for service between here and Sacra
mento, will set a new mark in river
transportation.
Roomy and fast, the Capital City
will be provided with all the comforts
of a great ocean liner or first class
hotel. Every stateroom will be ser%-ed
with hot and cold running water and
there will be a number of private
suites with private bathroom adjoin
ing.
The keel was laid in December, 1909.
The vessel's length, over all, is 258
feet; beam, over guards. -51 feet •!>
inches, and depth of hold. 9 feet 6
inches. The hull is divided into' nine
watertight compartments, these com
partments being separated by cross
steel bulkheads. An elaborate fire
sprinkling system has been installed.
This all means that the Capital "City
will be practically unsinkable and fire
proof.
The interior woodwork is all ma
hogany. There are wide stretches of
promenade decks and on the top side
is a large observation room protected
on all sides from inclement weather by
large plateglass windows.
The new steamer will be in operation
before the end of the year.

BIRDS WERE TWITTERING
TOO EARLY IN THE MORN
Native Student Policeman Was
Not to Be Deceived
"It struck me as peculiar," said Po
liceman Bormuth whlre testifying be
fore Judge Conlan yesterday in the
cases of George Brown and Joseph Pe
terson charged with grand larceny,"
that birds could be whistling so early
in the morning. It was about 2 o'clock
and the whistling sounds " came from
the direction of Larkin r street near Mc-
Allister. I made up my mind to inves
tigate and as I approached a- box sur
rounding one of the monumental lamp
posts on the site of the old city hall
it struck me that the noise 'came from
inside the box. - \u25a0
"I looked inside and saw the two de
fendants sawing off the bronze work
on the lamp post. They -had sawed off
about 180 pounds."
Brown and Peterson were held for
trial for stealing city property. . "

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
New. river steamer Capital City, which will be launched Saturday.
SAN DIEGANS FAVOR
EXPOSITION BONDS
Representatives of the Southern
City Will Support San Fran*
cisco in Legislature
Members of the Panama -Pacific ex
position company who will appear be
fore the state legislature September 6
to explain why it is necessary to sub
mit to the people constitutional amend
ments providing fora state tax and a
municipal bond issue will be backed up
by representatives of the San Diego
exposition. -j ~'i, ;.? :.v?
The necessity of the state tax and
the San Francisco bond issue is prob
ably understood by state senators and
assemblymen, but should they require
any enlightenment there will be plenty
present to give it. The San Diegans
will appear at Sacramento solely as
friends of San Francisco. They will
apply to the next legislature for aid for
themselves. \
ATTITUDK OF COXGRESSHIBX
With San Francisco assured of the
cash needed to Impress congress at its
December session, the' attitude of the
congressmen and senators is becoming
again the most important feature of
the situation. Both houses will have to
agree upon the exposition city.
It is believed that the action of the
senate will have strong influence upon
the house of representatives and should
there be a difference of opinion it is
thought that the voice of the senate
choice would prevail.
There are 22 western -senators, of
whom two are democrats. All are un
alterably in favor of San Francisco.
The south has 28 democratic. senators
out of 31.' This leaves San Francisco
with two democratic votes and possibly
three, including the democratic senator
from Indiana. San Francisco and the
west have 20 republican votes out of
the 59 republicans in the senate. Many
of the others are favorable.
PROSPECT OF VICTORY
The fact that this city has so large. a
percentage of practically pledged re
publican votes is believed to be an as
surance that San Francisco will be the
choice of the senate. Should New Or
leans put up any fight at all, it sis
thought that it will be only on the
floor of the house. With $17,500,000
capital and strong support in the house
of representatives the local boosters
expect to be victorious there also with
little trouble. .;/^; \u25a0 : /_/..;-'y:
The attitude 'of congressmen from
the middle west' will be an important
factor In the house of representatives.
The local exposition company is doing
effective missionary work among the
inhabitants of the middle west, and
within the last' two months great ben
efit has been , derived from the wide
spread campaign of publicity.
LECTURER FOR CINCINNATI
Francis Hope, representing the Cali
fornia development board and the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition company, . left
for -Cincinnati Tuesday on the first
eastbound Western Pacific passenger
train. During the Ohio V alley exposi
tion in that city Hope will .give '52 lec
tures. He will. deliver two lectures a
day during the month' that the exposi
tion Is open to the public. He. went
east armed' with about 500 slides of
California and San Francisco scenes
and quantities of literature, which will
be used in converting \u25a0* the people of
that section, to the cause of San Fran
cisco.

George Washington Wise a Piti
able Object When Taken
Into Court by Officers
Weeping and trembling, George
Washington: Wisei accused of being a
principal in the murder of Captain E.
B. Wood on the steamer Buckman, was
supported in court yesterday morning
by United States Marshal C.T . Elliott
and Deputy Marshal Paul Arnerich to
hear the complaint read charging him
with the crime.
The "pirate" collapsed in the most
abject manner as soon as he reached
the courtroom, and his answers to the
usual questions asked by the court
were choked with sobs. Tears trickled
down, his cheeks' continually, and his
whole demeanor expressed the grip
ping fear of death that has taken hold
of him since It has been brought home
to him how close he stands to the gal-
ASKS YOR ATTORNEY ,
"I, haven't any attorney, judge," he
blubbered out, wiping his eyes with the
back of his hand. "I haven't any at
torney."
"We'll see that you receive proper
counsel," Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Benjamin McKinley
said, when United States Commissioner
H. M. Wright, before whom the hearing
was held, pointed out that he had no
authority to appoint counsel.
The complaint was read to Wise," and
the matter put over to Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, when the hearing will be
•held and the case sent up to the United
States circuit court for. trial. Witnesses
in the case will be present Monday.
Wise was taken to the Alameda
county jail late yesterday afternoon,
after he had secured an . attorney,
Frank A. Duryea, and had a consulta
tion with him. The expense ofj the
pirate's " defense, he said yesterday,
would be borne* by his uncle, Joseph
.Philborn.'saloonman of Roxbury, Mass.
Wise has a sister, Mrs. James Dearbon,
in Somerville, Mass.
IN ABJECT TERROR
The desperado had. recovered from
his weeping by the time he was re
moved to the Alameda county jail, but
nevertheless he was as unstrung as in
the morning. His feet dragged heavily
as he shuffled away between two-dep
uty marshals and he seemed to be in a
pitiable state of fright.
Wise was lodged in ' a cell by him
self, and all access to him has been
prohibited at the osder of the federal
authorities. \u0084;>;>'
Inspector of Hulls and Boilers John
Bulger intended to have a further hear

IT ; IS wonderful How muclv satisfaction can be
obtained from a talk over the Bell Telephone.
"A letter J carries words, but the Bell Service has been
broughtiup to such apoint of perfection that the modula-
t ions of the voice are . clearly heard. .
The cheery .tones show that the ; talker is well and'
in good ; spirits. The call may come from a suburban
l^^ljj^f^r-a^st^^ityi but\vithin the limits of the
carrying /power of the voice ; the Bell Service, carries the
tone as well. You get a personal interview with a friend
of miles away. ;
