CAT HALTS INDUSTRY
Leading SILK Men of Paterson Aid In
the Rescue of a Stranded
Cat From Race
BY Associated Press

By Associated Press
PATERSON, N. j., March 10.-For
seven days many of the hands in sew
eral silk mills at this place thought
that caterwauling spook haunted the
mill race.
1t was not until late yesterday morn
ing that a weaver noticed, through a
crack in the floor, cat perched on
the wall skirting the race beneath the
Phoenix mill.
Gen. j. w. Congdon, president Of the
company and head of the Silk Associa-
ton of America, was informed, and
he sent for Col. Spelby of the Paterson
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, to assist in rescing the
stranded feline. The colonel, general,
mill superintendent and several manu-
facturers held council. 1t was decid-
ed to get that cat If every mill along
the race had to be shut down.
Finally Mike Burns, a 12-year-old
boy, volunteered to lie down on q
fiimsy raft and grab the cat as he shot
under the mill in the race. He tried,
but failed. Then "Red" Sweeney, a
10-year-old lad flung himself upon the
raft. 1t flew like a shot out of a gun,
but when 1t emerged ON the lower side
of the mill Red had the cat in his
arms.

peeped from the stage at the Grand

She was presenting Camille in

of Youngstown stupid and declared
them utterly lacking in appreciation.
Few in the audience understood French
apparently, for the applause that

From that time on the audience be-
