Upon to Decide Owner
ship of Feline.

New York. Feb. 19.-The appellate di-
vision of the supreme court has been
called upon to decide the ownership of
a cat. 1t seems that the cat originally
belonged to an actress who when she
left town, turned the animal over TO
the restaurant where she WIS in the
habit of taking her meals. The restau-
rant belonged to Paul Mortimer Brown
and in his. employ was Miss Louise
Mall, who was friendly with the wOm-
an who owned the cat Some time aft
er the cat arrived at the restaurant
Miss Mall married Max DOring. They
went to Germany on a wedding trip
and when they returned the former
cashier remembered the cat and de-
cided that it would be an adornment
to her home So Doring went to the
restaurant and carried the dat away.
Brown promptly had DOring arrested,
but he was discharged, and the next
day brought suit against Brown for
$4,000 for false arrest. A jury award
ed him 500 and the case goes to the
appellate division on an appeal by
Brown. Brown says he will carry the
case through all the courts in the land
before he will pay the $500 In the
meantime the cat has disappeared

DEPOSITS NOT TAXABLE

Washington, Feb Ex-senator Knox
introduced bill to establish a system
of postal savings banks today. The
bill embodies the plan outlined by Post
master General Meyer in his annual re-
port, and in which he advocated in u
public address as being calculated to
encourage economy and thrift, and To
afford a place of deposit free from any
possibility of doubt for vast sums Of
money which otherwise would be
boarded and kept out of circulation
through ignorance or lack of conf
dence The bill authorizes the post
master general to establish a system of
postal savings banks comprised of such
money order offices as he may desig-
nate for that purpose.
Children Could Open Accounts.
Accounts may be opened and depos-
it's made in any postal savings bank
established under this act by any per-
son of the age of 10~years or over in
his own name, by a married woman in
her own name and free from any con-
troll or interference by her husband, by
a trustee as such on behalf of another
person, by a parent, guardian or other
person for the benefit of a child under
10 years old, or by any charitable or
benevolent society or association, pro-
vided that no person or organization
shall have more than one postal saw
inSs account, except that a trustee,
parent, guardian or other person may
have an individual account and an ac-
count in his representative capacity
for each person or child for whom he
may be entitled to open an account
The bill further provides that such
postal banks shall receive deposits OF
money in even dollars, with one dollar
as a minimum, and postmasters are re-
quired to make daily reports to the
postmaster general, who will forward
to the depositOr a written acknowledge
ment of it's receipt Deposits are not

legal processes against the depOsitOr,
and such funds are exempt from tax
alton. Interest at the rate of per cent
per annum is allowed depositOrs, and
the postmaster general is authorized to
place the money deposited in postal
savings banks in national banks at a
rate of interest satisfactory to the sec
rotary of the treasury.
These national repositories are to be
in the immediate vicinity of postal
banks from which the money is drawn
as a safeguard against Capitalization
of currency, and as a means of facili-
tating the return of money to the
channels of trade. National banks are
prohibited from receiving any COM
pensatiOn for caShing or collecting any
checks or any other service in connec-
ton with postal banks. Withdrawals
of deposits may be made at any time
subject to certain rules. The bill car
ries an appropriation of 100000 to give
lit effect.
