PUTS BAN ON CATS.
Councilman Holiday Requested to
Father New Ordinance.

A petition drawn by two of the prom
inent lawyers in the city who are admir-
ers of the dog kingdom is being circulated
asking Councilman Holiday to prepare
and introduce an ordinance providing for
the restraint of the cats of the city. They
contend that far more damage is done by
the cats which are permitted to run at
large than by the dogs which are to be
nance which is recommended for passage

Among the names signed to the petition
which follows are: Judge T.. T. Hazen,
R. F. Hodgins. Galen Nichols, c. A. Ma

G. - Holiday, Councilman, End Ward
Dear Sir: Will you kindly introduce and
work for the passage of ordinance which
will place the same restrictions on the
depredations committed by cats as the
winch ordnance was recommended for
passage by the walks committee of the
city council May l.
We also think that q license should be
provided for, the same as for dogs, but
that the tom cats cause the most trou-
BILE that they should bear the heavier
licenses. We are willing that the amount
of the license should be determined by you
as a recognition of your special knowl-
edge.
The following instances of their habits
might be given a proof of the fact thai
they are nuisance. to-wit: They are in
the habit of congregating in back yards
late at night and holding such loud and
prolonged meetings as to entitle them to
be labeled a nuisance.
They have a habit of crossing sidewalks
in front of women and children, thereby
frightening the superStitious with dire
happenings of the immediate future. They
destroy the flower beds by their clawing
the moist earth, much to the annoyance
of the women who take a proper pride in
their flower gardens and lawns.
We feel sure that the cats can no more
easily be broken of their habits as lawn
and flower bed destroyers than the dogs
and that they. too. should be confined. as
there are many careless owners and many
stray cats.

OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY.
No Settlement of San Francisco Labor
Troubles Is in Sight.

San Francisco, Cal, May 4.-The
outlook in the labor situation here is
not particularly bright and no chance
for an immediate settlement of any of
the questions now involved is at pres
ent apparent. The telephone strike
has crippled the service and last night
the whole system practically had
come to a standstill. The operators
are now securing support from all
directions and it is feared that the
linemen will go out in sympathy
which will still further complicate the
situation. In the case of the emer-
gency hospitals it has been found
necessary to dispatch mounted police
to act as messengers and general BUSH
ness has been seriously affected.
In the stock markets a decline fol-
lowed the suspension of the service
So far no disturbance to amount to
anything has accompanied the strike
The iron workers are still firmer in
their demands and the proposition for
settlement by arbitration has now
been abandoned owing to the negative
position taken by the trades council

Newspaper Reporter Who Soon Tired
of Oklahoma.

A good one is being told on a local
newspaper reporter, who recently de-
cided that Topeka was too tame for
one of his ability in the pipe" line,
and hunted up a job on an Oklahoma

rather strenuous in the new state, and
just a week from the time he landed,
his sister in Topeka got a telegram
which read:
wire me to come home quick,
Grandmother sick" The sister could
not make change for this. and an
swered collect: Nothing to it, Grand
ma all right In two hours she got
another which read: "Chump, 1 want
an excuse to jump this job" Then
the young lady dutifully wired her
brother to come home and see grand
ma. He came in on the next train,
and is going to forget to go back.
