Lively Discussion by Directors Of

Convention Getting.
RESENTS GUIDES REMARKS

William Guides objection to 'junket
ing trips voiced in opposition to the
proposition to appropriate $500 for ex-
penses of two members Of the Cham
Der of Commerce to attend the conven-
ton Of the International Association of
Machinists at Davenport, Iowa. excited
the resentment of Granville Hunt,
chairman of the conventions commit
tee. which had fathered the plan. at
| meeting of the board of directors of
The chamber last night. Mr. Hunts
Indignation took the form Of declara-
ton that his resignation as chairman OF
the committee was available.
Previously Mr.. Hunts request for an
appropriation of s170 for glad hand
buttons had been the occasion of
clash between him and Mr.. Guide.
Charles W. Darr's suggestion that it
was warm night and that adjourn
ment might be in order was hint
accepted by Mr. Hunt, who stopped in
| the midst Of a prolonged argument.

assurance to visitors that the wearers
were interested in seeing that they had
| a pleasant and satisfactory time in

In supporting his resolution Mr.. Hunt
| intimated that Washington people are
| cold as ice toward strangers. and that
Unborn hospitality does not exist
1.-The meanest statement l ever heard
a Washington man make about his own
city, commented Mr.. GUIDE.
Mr. Hunt repeated and emphasized
his utterances, and started In to cite
/ n1,<>~o inst in
support of his conclusions. Mr.. Darrs
reminder induced him to close the dis
cussion.
The sum of $500 was finally appropri-
ated for efforts to bring the machinists
convention to Washington in 1912. after
the proposed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ap-
preparation was voted down. D. j. Cal
| lahan was the first objector to the
larger appropriation. regarding 1T as
too much to expend for the purpose.
This view generally prevailed.
Mr.. Guide got up to say that he be-
| lieved in bringing conventions to
| Washington. but that he was opposed
| to bribing them to come. He suggest
| ed that the local unit of the labor
organization should take the initiative
| in bringing the machinists here. and
declared his opposition to 'junketing."
Hunt Offers to Resign.
Mr. Hunt was Immediately on his feet
to offer to resign. Capt. Oyster tried to
say that that course was not necessary.
but Mr.. Hunt would not submit. He was
ready to let some one else chase around
the country after conventions. he said.
and he had no more time to give to the
business. and again he proposed to resign.
Mr.. Oyster told Mr.. Hunt that he didn't
mean what he said. Mr.. Hunt said no
more.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. approximation

stituted on reconsideration Of the mo-
ton, was approved.

Cat dentistry is the latest development.
Special instruments and brushes have
been arranged for cleaning the teeth and
various mouth washes are provided. A
cat that developed a badly liberated
tooth was recently placed under an anes-

the OFFENDING member 1t is claimed that
cats would have no trouble with their
teeth II their food We're right For this
reason feeding cats on ground meat or
hamburg steak: continuously. is being
discouraged. They should have an occa-
sional bone to pick and gnaw as it is
known that the wild members of the
family who feed upon animals crush the
bones themselves and have perfectly pre-
served teeth even at exertme age.
Notwithstanding all these evidences of
popularity on the part of society folk,
there is a strong feeling against cats in
the minds of many people and more than
one physician has denounced them to his
patients. A Lakewood physician lately
has come out publicly with the statement
that cats breed tuberculosis. Z. H.
Richards. secretary of the Chicago board
of health, recently said: They all should
go-the backyard sloper. the spinster' $
tabby and the blue ribbon winner who
feasts on sirloin and lies on silk cushions
They are worst. worse and bad, and
there is no health in any. AS disease
disseminators they are as great a menace
as the rat and we are extermina ting the
rat because it is known to spread the
bubonic plague"
In opposition to this statement how
ever. must be given the fact that the
Japanese government is shipping in
thousands of cats because 1t is found
that they kill the rats which carry the
plague. Whether in this Way the cats
become affected and thus spread the
disease has not as yet been ascertained
by the japanese scientists.

If the cat is not locked up inside the

which have been accustomed TO nome

forth to provide for themselves. Dur
ing the month of June nearly 5000 cats
were found dead on the streets or New

either by the heat or by lack OF proper

The Cat Fanciers' Association now Is
sues a stud book certified by the De-
partment of Agriculture, and the stand
ards of requirement are quite as high as
those for finely bred horses or other
stock. In fact. many complaints have
been made during the past three years
that the ruling for registration through
the Cat Fanciers' Association under the
requirements of the department of Agri-
culture is altogether too stringent.
Each year the popularity Of the pedi-
greed cat increases. While the Persian
cat is. generally speaking. the one most
admired, there are number of other
breeds quite worthy Of attention. A new
cat lately introduced comes from Aus
tralia. It has unusually long hind legs
and in that particular resembles the
kangaroo in its anatomy, but it shows
no inclination to jump. In fact, it seems
less fond of jumping than the ordinary
cat and is unusually. digniied in its walk.

AMERICAN CAT FANCIERS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The Connecticut cat show, which opens
today at Charter Oak Park in Hartford.
is an event of interest to cat lovers
throughout the country, for this show
will include feline beauties from almost
every state. 1t divides interest. however,
with the cat show forming a part of the
Canadian national exposition now on in
Montreal. At this show over $1,000 in
cash prizes. besides numerous pieces of
plate and many blue ribbons, will be
awarded the happy owners of the finest
kings and queens of catdom Many Amer
lean breeders have sent exhibits to this
Canadian cat show. and special provisions
have been made with the custom officers
for the admission of these valuable ami
mails into Canada.
Breeding fine cats is rapidly developing
as business and it is one in which
women are especially successful. 1t re-
qures but small outlay in the beginning
and to a woman who is fond of pets
raising beautiful cats is congenial oc
cupation.
The animals themselves are clearly and
ractive, and with ordinary care re-
gardng their feeding and quarters there
is comparatively little difficulty. The fine
cats of course, are sensitive in some par
ticulars and require the best conditions,
but there is much less real work at
tached to rearing a brood of pedigreed
cats than in raising enough poultry to
bring in the same amount of money. So
cat raising Is becoming channel by
means of which many women. especially
those with more social position than
money, are enabled to help themselves
without leaving the privacy of their
homes.

cared for they should be healthy and
harmless. If they are permitted to run
into an infected district and eat improper
food they necessarily become menace
to the community. Last month consid-
cradle excitement was caused in Chicago
by a number of cats that managed to
break into the municipal laboratories.
They ate number of guinea pigs, which,
for experimental purposes. had been in
oculated with typhoid, diphtheria,
cholera and other malignant germs
Every effort was made to capture these
animals. and as result several hundred
stray cats were painlessly put to death
during the next week.
Many people who own cats Of which
they are really fond seem to have no
conjunction against going away for the
summer without making any provision
for their feline pets. Often house is
locked up with live cat in It, and poor
pussy will drive all the neighbors to dis
traction by her appeals for aid. Perhaps
some person will come to her rescue, but
often her feline ingenuity helps her to
escape. Frequently q dead cat lies in
