REFORMERS AFTER SARATOGA
RACE TRACK BETTING MEN
VIII Test the Sincerity of Governor
Higgins by Demanding Extra
Session of LexfSIature.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Promoters
of the crusade against race track
gambling intend to test Governor Hig-
gins sincerity in the matter by de-
manding, as soon as he returns to this
city, that he call an extra session OF
the Legislature for the purpose of con-
sidering a bill similar to the Cassidy
Lansing anti-gambiing bill.
The only way the Governor can
possibly reach inside gamblers" said
Rev. A. S. Gregg, field secretary of the
International Reform League, today,
'is for him to call special session
of the Legislature and insist on the
passage of a bill which would enable
him to telegraph an order to the
Sheriff of Saratoga County that he
must stop gambling within the race
track as we'll as in the club houses"

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAL

TONOPAH. Aug. 12.-The meat cut
ters struck today. The men employed
IN local shops belonging to the Interna-
tional Workers of the World demanded
that the shops close at 6 every night
except Saturday, when they should re-
main open until s, and that they stay
closed all day Sunday. Four of the
FIVE shops refused the demand and told
their men to report for work this morn
ing as usual The men did not do so.
The employers say that 1T is impossi-
BILE for families without icehouses to
use meat bought on Saturday, as the
NE at is usually brought from cold stor-
age in Reno and is eight or ten days
old when it reaches Tonopah. The men
are receiving s. a day and full time for
half a day on Sundays. The employers
do not object to closing earlier in the
evenings, but declare that they must
keep open Sunday morning. The bosses

A Cat Story.

This is true cat story. A certain
cat, much petted and adored, is be-
lieved to understand language, it hav-
ing repeatedly acted upon what was
said to it, but not long since it did
far more and better. It obeyed liter
ally. The man of the house is a great
hunter. He loves to shoulder his gun
and bring down small game, and one
morning when he was setting forth
for sport, his wife called out: IF
you will bring home rabbit l will,
make a pie!' The cat sat by, but
said nothing. A few hours after, while
the wife was busy with her sewing,
the cat appeared by her side carrying
a rabbit in his mouth, and then drop
ping the game beside his mistress be-
gan to sing and purr like tin kettle
On the fire. Nothing will convince the
friends of this wonderful cat that he
doesn't understand all that is said in
his presence, and they are now
really afraid to mention want, as the
dear fellow will think he must imme-
