THAW REFUSES TO
ACCEPT SERVICE

NEW YORK, March 12.-Refusing to
accept service of summons in the suit
begun against him in the Supreme
Court by Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw for
of their marriage, Harry
Thaw at the State Asylum for the
Criminal Insane at Matteawan last
night declared he would do nothing to
facilitate the progress OF the action
which has been initiated against him
against his will
Thaw's refusal to accept service was
based upon the fact that a process
server from the Office Of Daniel
O'Reilly. Mrs. Thaw's attorney. took to
Matteawan only one act Of papers in
stead OF the two required by the law
governing the service Of process upon
inmates Of State Institutions Under
the law the superintendent OF the in
stitution must be served as well as the
inmate.
Mr. OReilly's representative served
his set of papers on DR.. Robert B.
Lamb, superintendent of the hospital.
He had no papers left TO serve on
Thaw. The prisoner, who said he un-
derstood his rights In the premises,
insisted the service Of DR.. Lamb had
no effect upon his own case. He de-
clared that TO serve him legally an
other set Of papers must be taken to
NIatteawan. This will be done to-day.

KILL THE CATS"
WRITES LAWYER
President MacIean Receives a
Communication From Gin
Cinnati on the Subject

That the story that the Board of
Trade is to begin a crusade against
cats is going the rounds of the coun-
try, is evident from a communication
received by r. j. Maclean, president of
the board. AS a matter of fact the
board has given no thought 10 nor
does not propose TO begin the extermi-
nation Of cats, the reference to cats
carrying disease germs having been
made incidentally by Dr. ]. r. Mahaffy
during a discussion Of the pure food
law requirements. One man. a lawyer
in Cincinnati, takes the subject seri-
ously, however, for he writes to Presi-
detn Maclean;
Il hope the statement in print is
true. Kill the cats. Cats kill very few
rats and mice. but thousands Of birls
every year. We need the birds and
not the cats"
The lawyer sends along some ntera-
ture of the Audubon Society and plea
to save the birds and kill the cats.
Mr.. Maclean also receives a postal
card to-day containing a picture of two
cats, with a revolver beneath, and the
plea, you are not going to kill us,
are you?"
Mr.. Maolean says the Board Of Trade
has no idea of considering the killing
Of cats. and so far as that body is con-
cerned. cats may come and cats may
go without danger Of slaughter.

CHINA CALLS THE
JAPANESE BLUFF ?

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PEKIN, March 12.-It looks as II
Chinese has called the Japanese bluff
in the Tatsu Maru case and caused the
Mikado 10 lay down. And Japan is to-
day negotiating for a compromise and
acts If 1t would be glad to get the
best terms 20 save its face" No one
doubts that Japan plans ultimate trou-
BILE for the Chinese. 1t is also unques-
tionably strong enough If left alone
by other powers TO deal with the celes-
tial kingdom. A brilliant campaign
abroad would also serve 10 take the
peoples attention from their financial
difficulties at home. Gentle hints from
England that arbitration wnuld be bet
ter than warfare, for a time at least
probably had much 10 do with changes
in the plans. Furthermore, several OF
the ministers did not conceal the fact
that they considered the Tatsu incident
too trivial and the justice OF the Japan
ese claims toe doubtful 10 win the
worlds sympathy for the Mikado in
the event of an armed clash.

FAME MAY ENTER
COMBINATION"
"Anti-COmbine" Company
Will Decide Matter at a
Special Meeting

With the object in view Of making
application to enter the ranks Of the
Combination" fre companies. the
Fame Fire Company will hold a special
meeting tomorrow night. That COM
pany recently appointed a committee
Of three members to lake up the mat
ter with the Combination" companies.
and a meeting Of the latter was held
at the Washington engine house on
last Tuesday night, but what was done
could not be learned. The Fame COM
mittee was present at this meeting and
will make report at the special meet
ing tomorrow night.
1t Is said that the Combination" COM
panies look with favor or the applica-
ton Of the. Fame Company. and from
present indications IL looks as II this
company will be admitted. Should
such action be taken. II will mean a
stir in the Fire Department particular
ly among those companies who COM
posed what is known as the anti
Combine" These companies beside
the Fame, include Reliance, Delaware
and Water Witch The independence
is also on the outside Of the "Combina-
tion." but being a new company, has
not to be rated one way or the other.
Many members of tho Combination
companies look with favor on the appli
cation Of the Fame Company. Thoy
point out that by admitting the Fame
the present bad feeling existing, be-
cause Of the cornering of the officers
Of the Fire Department by the Com
bination," viii go far toward bridging
the gap which has kept the two fac
tions OF the department apart for SC
many years. They also express the
opinion that IL the Fame Companys
application is successful the other
"Anti-Combination" companies will
also probably make an effort TO gel
into the Combination" and when this
is accomplished, all the companies will
be on par as far as rotating the Of
ficers Of the department is concerned
and peace will once more reign.
The Combination companies viii
hold another meeting on next Tuesday
night and it is probable that the ques-
tion Of admitting the Fame to theii
ranks Will be definitely decided.
