The greater portion of the clubs at
tention last night was given to drawing
up criticism Of and lodging protests
against new code OF rules. recently
published in the pet stock papers. for
the purpose OF governing aH future
cat shows held in the United States
These rules were drawn up by the com

Club, and at least six other cat clubs

The Washington Cat Club. like our
iorctathers. protests against taxation
without representation, and objects to
being forced TO adopt rules in the
preparation Of which ali cat clubs have
not an equal voice. These rules. It
argues, are not formulated to At the
peCuiiaTtties Of the cat case, but are
only the old rules (which the cat fra
ternity have never been able 20 enforce
aad which they admit to be inadequate)

from foreign regulations and a rehashed
version Of the generally accepted rules
governing dog, horse and chicken shows.
Rather than submit to anything of this
kind the Washington Cat Club proposes
to hoist the sign no trusts to promul-
gate and enforce its own rules. TO con
duct its own independent shows. to draw
only its own local prizes. to designate
the standard Of its judging and to re-
claim its own champ mpionships and OFF,

MRS. JOHNSOp'S LAND
WASHING INTO ALLEY
Complaint of j. D. Cotter
Against Alleged Nuisance.
Important Law Covering Such Cases
Omitted From Recent Edition of
Police Regulations.

The District Commissioners recently
received i communication from Mr. J. D.
Cotter. Of 17G6 Thirtfeth Street north
west, requesting that Mrs Johnson, the
owner Of abutting property be notified
to take steps to prevent earth from
falling into the alley in square 1892. It
appears that this alley runs east and
west, just north Of Mr.. Cotter's premi-
ses. and that the condition Of the same
mas been rendered more or less obiec-
ticnabIe from the washing down Of dirt
from the property of Mrs. Johnson which
IS above the grade OF the alley
The matter was referred to the Police
Department for the protection Of the
alley under article s, section 3 Of the
police regulations Lieutenant John
SwiBdeils, Of the Seventh Precinct. re-
ported back to headquarters that section
% Of the old police regulations had been
eliminated from the new edition re-
Gently issued. and that no action could
be taken IN the premises except under
the provisions of sections 2 and 2 Of
The snow law.
l. 4 BRADSHAW, chief clerk Of the En-
glneer Department, reporting upon the
matter, stated that section p OF the old
regulations was omitted because it was
thought that 1t was superseded By the
snow act Mr.. Bradshaw, however.
takes the view that such is not the
case, rs appears from an opinion upon
the powers Of the Commissioners from
the Corporation Counsel. dated May II.
1901 Mr. Bradshaw held that the old
regulation is properly enforceable un-
der the general police powers Of the
Commissioners.
Capt. II. c. Newcomer has forwarded
the papers in the case to his colleagues,
with the recommendation that the old
section . OF the police regulations be
Te-enactsd. as he believes that a great
deal Of good was accomplished by its
enforcement before its recent omission
from the new edition Of the regulations.
It is understood that the Board will
adopt the recommendation OF the Act
