CAT ORDER MUST STAND
FOR FEW DAYS, AT LEAST.
Commissioners viii Take No
Action Until John
ston Returns.

Although the Washington Cat Club.
through its president, Mrs. Henry i.
West, has addressed a letter to the Com
missioners requesting them to modify the
regulation recently adopted requiring the
impounding and determination of all stray
cats. the regulation has not been altered.
and. until the return of Commissioner
Johnston, next week. il is not likely
that the matter will be given attention
by the District heads.
The following letter has been sent to
Commissioner Johnston by Mrs. West:
1.-THE Washington Cat Club at spe-
cial meeting held today unanimously vot-
ed to urge the commissioners to rescind
the order that all cats running at large
be impounded and Immediately put to
death. Should the order go into effect
the tame, well-cared-for pet cats will be
the ones to suffer. the tramp cats being
able to elude the catchers.
Many Valuable Cats.
MANY of the pet cats possess more
than a sentimental value. a number of
them in this city being worth from $50 to
500.
IF. through inadvertence, one of these
escaped into the street and ia captured
and killed without an opportunity be-
ing afforded the owner to redeem It, the
penalty thus imposed is out of all pro-
portions Of the offense. 1t is also mani
testify unjust. in that the actual penalty
for similar offenses differs with the
value Of the animal, and the owner Of
the animal possesses something of none
tary value, and suffers greater loss than
does the person owning a cat of no value.
Another and a vastly important rea-
son why the order should be rescinded
is that when the cats are exterminated
we then will find ourselves burdened with
a plague Of destructive. disease-carrying
rats. There Is no comparison between
the small danger OF rabies among cats
and the known propensity of rats for de-
struction and spreading disease.
I'VE also ask that the Commissioners.
in preparing their estimates for the COM
ing year provide for the collection of
sick. diseased. wounded and starved cats.
We believe this to be the best solution
of the situation
In the absence of Commissioner john
ston. who has supervision over the health
department and the operation OF the
pound as an adjunct of that office, Com
missioners Rudolph and Judson have not
officially considered the scores of COM
plants that have been received concern
ing the cat ordinance.
On Johnson's Recommendation.
The egislation was enacted on recon-
mendation of Commissioner tombstone.
following a report made to him by the
health office to the effect that rabies
among cats in the District is on the in
crease.
1t is by no means certain that the COM
plants charging the regulation with
being unduly severe will influence the
commissioners in favor OF modifying the
law 1t is probable that the Cat club
will consider the regulation at another
meeting after it has received reply TO
it's letter.

What Wilson Men Want.

The Wilson people say that they would
be glad to have either Clark or Harmon
on the ticket with Wilson because either
Of them would represent and consequently
attract the more conservative wing OF the
democratic party. Clark particularly,
they say. would also add strength to the
ticket because of his record in the House.
Were it not for the fact that Under
wood is too close geographically to Clark.
1t is said, he would be the first choice or
the Clark people as the vice presidential
nominee on a Clark ticket. The Clark
people think that the combination OF clark
and Underwood with their tariff records
would make a strong ticket, but feel that
they live too close together.
