MOUSE AND CAT TOO
MUCH FOR THIS SCHOOL
Chase Sets Girls to Screaming and Boys
to Throwing Things.


NEW YORK, March 5.-The janitor's
cat in the wake of mouse seriously
disturbed the solemnity Of the assembly
exercises at public school No. 6, Eigh-
ty-fifth street and Madison avenue,
yesterday morning. The cat and mouse
gave their first exhibition In the girls
assembly room, on the first floor, where
Miss Blake, the principal, was con-
Quoting the opening exercises. One Of
the little girls In Miss Bates class spied
the mouse first, and her scream dis
rupted the reading. Then the cat ap-
peared.
"a mouse! a mousei" screamed the
little girl. The several hundred girls
of all ages and sizes Immediately forgot
the exercises and became interested.
Some Of them jumped upon the desks
with their skirts tucked close. Others
merely laughed, and when pussy, with
the mouse still in the lead, disappeared
In the hall, fifteen minutes Of giggling
followed.
The mouse managed to get to the
second floor above, with the cat at its
heels. It dashed across the floor Of the
boys assembly room in full view. The
effect was different there.
The boys roared, and as the pair
raced down the aisle, the lads fired a
volley Of school books at pussy. Pussy
lodged them all, and some scouts
who snealed out In pursuit reported
at recess that the cat was still looking
for the mouse among the roof tiles.

ton Lake Cutoff.


The grading work on the Northern Pa
cifc's Lake Washington CUTOFF from
Woodinville Junction to Renton, where 1t
will join the Black River branch of the
same road, is completed. AS soon as the
weather will permit the contractor will
have steel gangs put on and track laying
will advance with the utmost speed.
The new track will follow along the
east shore Of Lake Washington and will
be twenty-five miles in length. 1t was
started last May.
There is almost five miles of track now
in place from Renton north. On this is
operated a steam shovel which is taking
out dirt at a rapid rate and placing it
aboard cars, when it is hauled to Seat
tie and used to fill in the South side
terminals in that city. The grade work
on the new line has been very heavy in
many places. There are several cuts
from which the contractor has taken from
10000 to $4,000 yards of earth.
1t will probably be some time late this
summer when the line is finished and
turned over to the railroad company.
It is the intention to. divert ali the lum-
Der and other eaSt-bound shipments from
the Seattle branch of the Northern Pacific
around Seattle by the cutoff, which
will relieve the Seattle yards at the busy
seasons of the year of upwards OF zoo
cars per day.
The new cutoff, when it is completed,
will be a stretch of modern track. Every
care has been taken in the making OF the
grade and a first-class roadbed has been

ers Fail to Agree.

The strike of the garment workers in
Robitshek, Frank & Heller's shirt and
overall factory continues, and although a
conference was held yesterday between
committee from the Trades and Labor
council and the members of the firm it
came to naught and nos arbiters were
named.
An effort was made Friday to bring
about conference between the strikers
and their former employers, and the mem
bers of the firm agreed to discuss the
situation again and, if possible, to name
persons to arbitrate the disputed points.
The firm is. however, firm in its stand
to maintain an open shop and refuses to
pay union wages, although 1t agrees to
pay as high as any other non-union fac
tory in the Twin Cities, with which
Messrs. Robitshek, Frank e Heller say
they have to compete.
From the outset the garment workers
have declared that they will not go back
to work at the wages and under the. cir
cumstances proposed by Robitshek, Frank
& Heller. They say that, as the firm
forced them into the union, it should not
go back on them, even If dissatisfied with
the new order of things.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Staring with
sightless eyes from a window on the

seemed to them that the eyes of the
motioHless figure on the opposite side
Of the street were fixed upon them.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the two

mand an explanation. At No. 40 he
found Janitor William A. Collins and
made vigorous complaint.

RIeAMIsT ASKS FOR NEW TRIAL.
Hazards Attorneys Attack the Trial Rec
ord and the Indictment.

Hazards Attorneys Attack the Trial Rec
ord and the Indictment.
Yesterday morning Samuel C. Hazard
the dashing West Pointer recently SEN
fenced to two years for bigamy, appeared
before Judge Brooks and listened to the
extended arguments of counsel upon
motion for new trial. No decision was
rendered. and the hearing was continued
for one week. Attorneys George Leonard
George. Stiles and Henry s. Mead, for
the defendant, attacked the trial record
and the indictment.
If the motion is granted Hazzard will
probably go free. Viva kirkpatrick Haz-
Zard, the wronged wife, has been recon-
ciled and will probably not appear against
the defendant second time-., Without
her there can be no second trial.
The point upon which the defense places
the most reliance is that the state failed
to prove Viva Fitchpatrick had been d.
vorced from her two former husbands.
The defense attacked the Indictment on
the ground that 1t does not comply with
the constitutional provision giving the de-
PENDANT the right to be informed of the
nature and causesof the accusation against
him.
1t is commended that error was COM
mitted in permitting the defendants wife
to testify against him, also that the evil
dence did not warrant the finding that
there was marriage between Viva Fitch
patrick and the defendant.

TERRIER EATS HIS
WAY OUT OF CRATE
Express Company's Answer to
Dog Fancier's Claim for the
Lost Jacko.

NEW YORK, March Through his
attorney, Robert O'Byrne, of No. ITO
Broadway, George Chipchase, a well
known dog fancier, Of No. 202 West
Fifty eighth street, Is suing the Amer
lean Express company for the loss of
his prize bull terrier, JACKIE, which, as
the complaint alleges, he shipped from
Manchester, Mass, Dec. % last.
1t is not stated in the complaint, but
1t is strongly intimated, that Jacko had
a previously arranged date with an
other dog of his weight and style at
well known Long Island resort, and
that owing to the carelessness of the
company the pleasure of the dogs
company and prowess was denied the
owner.
However, that Rs not the reason for
the suit. Mr.. Chipchase sues to re-
cover SPA, Of which 5000 is set down as
the value of the dog. The balance is the
cost of a specially constructed crate,
in which the animal was shipped. The
company offered delivery of the crate,
but Mr.. Chipchase would not accept
without his beloved Jacko. Now the
crate is to be offered as evidence by the
company to prove that it is not re-
sponsible. The company sets up the
claim that the dog actually ate it's way
out Of the crate.
Mr.. Chipchase refuses to believe that
JACKIE did any such thing, and init
mates that even an expressman might
also be fancier of and know a good
dog when he saw one, and that this is
the real reason why the dog was not
delivered.
The answer Of the company, which
was prepared by CRATER, Ledyard &
Milburn, sets up three separate and
distinct defenses, the chief one being
that the company had done its best to
carry out its agreement with Chip
chase, but that the dog would not per-
nit it to do so. 1t sets forth that while
awaiting loading at Manchester JACKIE
gnawed a large hole in one end of the
box and made its escape. 1t also goes
on to say that after great difficulty the
employees of the company managed to
secure the brute and ship him as di-
rected, but that while awaiting trans
fer at Boston he repeated the perform
ance and again escaped.
This time, says the company, some of
the Boston dog lovers managed to
charm the liberty-loving Jacko and it
has not been able to locate him.
