TWO KANSAS WOMEN
CARE LOVINGLY FOR
SUFFERING ANIMALS
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Dec. 17.—
Out in the hills of Kansas, across
the Missouri River from here and
I close by that stream, two lone wo
men, Sarah H. and H. H. Jacobs,
sisters, are making a sacrifice fight
for triendless and suffering animals
that is winning them world fame.
These women, by stint and indus
try, acquired a little home in the
outlying district that is given over
unsdlishily and almbst completely
to housing discarded dogs, cats, birds
and horses, and to spreading the gos
pel for humane endeavor.
In order to carry on their chosen
work, K. H. Jacobs works as a book
keeper, going a dozen miles daily to
her desk, "while her sister, white
haired and frail, is housekeepei. in
the 20 years since they began the
r/v. .uprise, and it lias been carried

One example of appreciation is the
action of Governor P. P. Baxter, who
caused the state house flag at Aug

and faithful companion, was buried

Miss H. H. Jacobs, in speaking re
cently of their work, said: “Gover

prominent position in a semi-pub
lic room of our home. In the even
ing it has been the custom for the
boys to come in and have a look
at it. When a new boy comes, the
older ones take the attitude of pro
prietorship. ‘That’s him,’ they an
nounce expressively. ‘Chappie’ and
‘Brownie’ and ‘Pal’ come along in
also, and it has been decided that
these dog companions of the boys
all show some semblance to Garry.

ing the flag in honor of his dog,
said: ‘I did it, not because Garry
was my dog and a member of my
family, but to draw people’s atten
tion to the qualities which are so of
ten forgotten in human relationship.’
“We are far from being alone in
this work; if we were, we should
despair,” Miss Jacobs continued. “M.
K. Matthews, honorable secretary of
the National Equine Defense Lea
gue of London, England, writes:
‘We should find work for reforms
in treatment of horses almost im
possible had not the horses been
my friends and companions from ear
ly childhood.’
“C. W. Howard, formerly of Iowa,
now engaged in humane work in the
Philippines, states that it does less
good to arrest a man ten times for
beating his horse than to get just
the beginning of a thought into the
fellow’s head that all living crea
tures have rights that should be
respected.
“There is a woman who has hon
ored us with her interest in our work
here and that is Mrs. Minnie Mad
dern Fiske, the actress, widely known
for her humane efforts.
“The fight for the establishment
of justice and recognition for ani
mals is a fignt largely against ig
norance. Th5re are certainly >egal
ized cruelties that seem to have
gained a strong foothold, but public
feeling is veering, and the end is in
sight. With this vision, this guid
ing thought always before us, we
must go on. Every day brings new
needs and duties.”
borne time ago, through the efforts
of the Jacobs, a public animal ref
uge was started to care for the un
fortunates that could not be treated
at their small place. Sarah H. Ja
cobs had a large part in this project
as president of the local humane so
ciety, which she manages along with !
her other responsibilities.
“In earlier years,” said Miss Sarah ,
H. Jacobs, “if a dog was charged |
with a fault, real or pretended, it j
meant a cruel death. Now he goes !
to the refuge and is given decent
attention until his friends can come |
forward and speak for him.
“Last week my sister signed a
sworn statement as a character wit
ness for ‘Buddy,’ who had torn Mr.
S———’s trousers, and Buddy went
home exonerated. In fact, it final
ly looked as thought Mr. S
should have felt honored, by the
time the judge had dismissed the
case.
“This clean, new idea of giving
the dog the square deal appeals to
everyone.”
Miss Jacobs told of “Shep,” the
dog that wouldn’t stay away. Al
though three homes were found for
“Shep,” he returned each time. Twice
he brought other dogs home with
him. Once he brought back a “pris
oner” dog that had managed to slip
out.
“Humane work is very broad and
far-reaching. It reaches clear to the
top, and all of it is the working
out of the universal plan. Our own
animal family now numbers 42, with

PROHIBITION UNIT SHIFT
BEING ASKED BY JUDGES
WASHINGTON, D. C., rfec. 17.—
The senior circuit judges of
the country, with Chief Justice Taft
joining and the opinion of federal
district judges reflected in their po
sition, have thrown their support
behind the movement for a transfer
bodily of the prohibition unit from
the treasury department to the de
partment of justice.
Recommendation for such action
by congress has been made by the
judicial conference of senior circuit
judges in a letter from Chief Justice
Taft, as chairman of the conference,
to Attorney General Stone, transmit
ting a request that he embody the
proposal in his annual report to
congress.
With the chief justice concurring,
the senior judges, who have just met
here, declare in a statement which
they ask be laid before congress, that
such a transfer of prohibition en
forcement responsibility “would
make much for effectiveness* in en
forcing the law. Out of their abun
dant experience with prosecution
under the prohibition law and re
flecting that also of district judges,
the senior circuit judges assert that
by placing expenditures of all appro
priations for enforcement under the
attorney general prosecutions could
be directed to the end that “trivial,
futile and unimportant cases,” which
now crowd court dockets, would be
avoided.
Under such a change, with the
“ill-advised zeal and practical ignor
ance of prohibition agents” no long
er a factor in the situation, the state
ment says, there can be prosecuted
only those cases which “will really
