Thousand for the
Champion

ming, meowing section of the world
yesterday afternoon, when the fifth
annual bench show of the Southern
California National Cat club was for
mally opened by Mayor Alexander. IN
his opening address the city's chief ex-
ecutive said he was glad to see such
an interest displayed in animals, and
wished the directors of the affair un-
bounded success.
over two hundred splendid types of
the cat family-all of them domes-
ticated, of course-graced the various
silk-lined booths in which they reposed.
Many of them were there solely for
exhibition purposes, having won too
many prizes to care longer for the
vanities of successful competition, but
the majority were placed in the lists
by their owners with the hope that
the judges would think favorably of
them when it came to awarding the
ribbons.
cats of all descriptions were on hand
to try for the streamers. The cheap
est in the show, of lowly parentage
and obscure pedigree, was valued at
q paltry $40, and from there up to tho
$500 valuation placed on a champion
the scale of prices showed the relative
esteem in which their owners hold the
animals. Imported cats were every
where in evidence, their sleek coats and
lofty contempt for surroundings giving
much testimony to voyages across the
water and acquaintance with notable
i'm other climes.
One of the cages which attracted
much attention was that occupied by
the Siamese mother cat and six kit
tens. The kittens are six months old
and were bred in Siam and born on
the ocean. Theye are the property of
Mrs. B. b. McLain.
Persian Wins Honors
Mrs. c. II. Williams black Persian
carried off the honors in the black
class. The tawny animal owned by
Mrs. c. A. Miller won first place in

White Prints" owned by Mrs. George
E. Smith, won first prize in the or
ange-eyed novice class. Mrs. j. c.
Girton's Prince Blue Eyes received

as large balls of cotton.

Pacific coast, and the property of Mrs.
j. G. GirtOn, was the SUBJECT Oh hhucN
admiration from those who were pre-
sent at the show yesterday afternoon
and evening. This cat has won blue
ribbons all over the country He is
not a contender for honors in this
show.

DisIikes Publicity

When interviewed last night New
man talked freely, but expressed the
hope that no publicity be given the
affair. He stated that his only reason
for surrendering himself to the police
was to prevent a possible accusation
that he was fugitive from justice.
He also insisted that his wife's arrest
was an outrage, and that even If she
did contract bills in his absence it was
a civil and not criminal case, and that
he would return to San Francisco at
once to fight the case.
Newman strenuously denied the
printed stories that he had left San
Francisco suddenly and that his wife
did not know of his whereabouts.
He insisted that he learned from his
wife's sister, who lives in Los Angeles
but whose name he refused to divulge,
that his wife was in trouble and under
arrest.
AS he waited in the police Jail for in
formation from San Francisco, Newman
denied that he had deserted his wife,
and said that he had been in Los An
geles on a business deal which he eX-
pected to finish today. He added that
the story of his wife's trouble would
doubtless cause a cancellation of the
deal.
He admitted that his wife had been
eXtraVaSant and enjoyed automoDlle
Joy" rides, many of which he had par
ticipated in, and that when he left San
Francisco he owed considerable money
for automobile hire. He said that the
debts should have been charged to him,
that his wifes arrest and Incarceration
was an outrage and that on first
knowledge of her Imprisonment he ap-
peared at police headquarters, and he
was willing to stand Imprisonment and
did not wish his wife to make martyr
of herself, as had been reported.

YOURSELF BEFORE USING

food. The wonderful sale on this pre-
paration since first introduced in VIII
mington and the remarkable results
following its use has made n. B. Dan
forth such an enthusiastic believer in
the great value of Samose that he gives
his personal guarantee to refund the
money If Samose will not make thin
people fat and restore strength and
health to those who use it.
This is a strong guarantee, but N.
B. Danforth has seen so many of his
customers who a few weeks ago look
ed like walking skeletons become
plump and well, solely through the
use of Samose that he feels he can
not say too much to induce people TO
try it.

Weather Bureau authorities have

years to find a November that COM

November of 1909 will stand out con-
spiouously in these annals of the

4.3 degrees warmer than the average

temperature Of 46 degrees.
On November II the mercury reached

In regard to drought the month was
also conspicuous. The total rainfall
