Highland Falls, n. Y, Nov S0.-There
will be nice legal point for justice of
the village to decide II the warning given
by Mr.. Gump, a lawyer. to Mrs. Boiling
er yesterday morning, is not needed. 1t
involves the right of person to talk to
cat. Mr.. Gump went TO Mrs. Bollinger's
house and told her that if she did not
stop talking to her pet Maltese he would
apply for an Injunction to restrain her
from doing so. Mrs. Bollinger is promi-
nent socially. So is Mrs. Delger, who
lives next door to her.
They We're once warm friends, but now
there is n marked coolness between them.
DR.. Edsall, the village health officer,
called nj Mrs. Bolinger's a week ago TO
investigate a complaint that she threw
soap suds on Mrs. Delger's sidewalks.
This Mrs. Bollinger denied. 80
Since then, Mrs. Delger says, whenever
she went outside her house Mrs. Boiinger
would make biting remarks IN her hear
ing. Then she gave up going outside. But
Mrs. Bollinger. she says, devised a new
scheme TO annoy her. Mrs Boilinger, she
says would carry a big Maltese cat in her
arms, back ana forth In front of the Del
ger home, all the time talking to the
cat in tones which Mrs. Delger could not
avoid hearing.
She would inquire the eats general
opinion Of Mrs. Delger. The animals re-
plies are not recorded, but apparently
Mrs. Boliinger heard them, for she would
say, according to Mrs. Delger: ~
Yes, puss, l agree with you. She is
not IA fit person for us TO associate with"
or No, ! don't think she is lady-like,
either"
This so annoyed Mrs. Delger that she

Republican Leaders Detect Stub-
born Pose in the Attitude of
Colonel RaOscyeIf

New York. Nov. 3O.-That Gov.-elect
Roosevelt has made up his mind to oppose
everything in the shape of retaliatory
legislation was indicated more than a
week ago. Ii became evident yesterday
that his determination is more than likely
to get him into trouble with the Repubd-
can organization even before he has ac-
tually become governor.
There are several measures which the
machine is anxious to put on the statute
books for the purpose of Furnishing the
Democrats and their allies and increasing
their own power. The proposed pure beer
bill and the metropolitan police bill are
types of these.
Every effort has been made to induce
Col. Roosevelt to give his approval to
these measures, but he has refused 10 do
so on the ground that they conflict with
the anti-retaliatory principle which he
has laid down. The knowledge of his at
totude has made the machine leaders
ready to quarrel with him, and there was
much talk among them yesterday to the
II he thought he could ignore the legis-
lature. and that il was mis- business to act
on legislation when IT reached him without
anticipation.
No formal demand has been made upon
Col Roosevelt to sanction any legislation
in advance. and none will be made until
the appointments are out of the way.
When the machine attempts to put the
screws on, il was said last night, there is
certain TO be trouble.
