Pleads Special Authority.

Postoffice Inspector Mayer Is the only
witness up to the present time. IEspec-
tor Mayer introduced vouchers. con-
tuTe Of Stern, as evidence Of the rela-
lions Stern had had with the Postohice
Department
To this the defendants counsel object
ed as Mr.. Mayer had never seen Stern
sign his name, and because the wit
nesses of the contracts were not in
court. This was overruled by Judge
Scott. and the entire batch was admitted
as evidence.
1t was stated in the examination Of
Mayer that while the carriers bags fur
nished by Stern contained straps. these
straps were furnished to Stern by
another employee in the department. and
were paid for by the Government. 1t
was also stated by Mayer that another
manufacturer had been favored i'm the
same way before Stern made his con-
tract.
Stern has alleged that he had the per-
mission of two officials I'm the Postoffice
Department TO furnish the bags with
out the shoulder strap, but no record
and the officials indicated are said 70
be dead. After this agreement Stern
says the Postoffice Department fur
nished him with straps known as the
Lamb strap" and he IN turn attached
them 70 the satchels and filed his con-
tracts.

TREASURY SURPRISES
THE STORY OF A CAT
Officials Tell Other Tales,
But Not Right One.
FOREIGNER CONFlSCATED
Owner in Tears-UndeTestim Value
of Imported Pet-TrOuble in Local
Custom House.

While the new censors at the Treasury
Department were off guard this morn
ing, a sensational rumor got through
the picket lines that the custom house
out in Georgetown was mixed up in u
cat scandal. The startling report caused
great excitement among reporters, and
they Immediately began scratching for
real facts to support the rumor
In it's stunted growth, the report re-
vealed that a beautiful foreign pussy
cat had been imported from Europe by
a woman residing I'm Washington. The
value was declared at $15. Custom off,
cials. however. thought this sum was
too small. and the cat was conhscated.
Owner in Tears.
All day long the poor little foreigner
was cooped up in box at the customs
depot But it was no unhappier than
the mistress, for tbs whispered she
burst into tears when the cruel officials
told her of the trouble over the pet.
And that's not the only way she will
figure In the matter. The Treasury De
partment may do something to her for
the alleged attempt to get pussy here
on a cut-rate ticket.
Treasury officials have suppressed the
facts in the case for the good of the
Government Were the news to get out
back-fence-war-by night might be de-
clared by catdom against the United
States.
Tale 0ne-Mr. Taylor.
Speaking of cats" said Acting Secre.
tary Taylor. of the Treasury, to a repor-
ter of The Times. reminds me Of an
experience had last summer. A neigh
Dor left q cat with me to care for dur
ing the dog days here-that's summer
and l kept It at my own home.
That was a nice cat. 1 like cats. any
way. But this cat got sick. and l had
to send him 10 the Cattery.
My gracious. that's a peculiar place
that Cattery. Ever see q caJtery? No?
Well. a cattery is place where they
take care OF cats. They also chloroform
them there. Charge so cents for that
think
Incidentally, MIR Taylor told the re
porter he didn't know anything about
cat I'm the custom house. and was not
enough interested TO make inquiries.
Mr.. McNabb. private secretary to Sec
rotary Shaw's Assistant Secretary Arm
strong, was anxious to learn from the
reporter the details of the mystery.

Cats" he said. That's an interest
ing subject" Then he quoted an APP
propriate verse about cats from Pima
fore"
Guess you're too young yet TO APP

tom house.
So were all others who knew any
