test Against "Destruc-
tion Order"

BY call of the president. Mrs. Henry
L. West, a meeting of the Washington
Cat Club will be held Monday in the
Octavia apartment house, 1869 Columbia
road. Monday morning, to protest
against the amendment to the police
regulation adopted by the Commission
ers for the destruction of stray cats.
The purpose OF the meeting will be
to impress upon the Commissioners the
wisdom and necessity of some amend
ment to the ordinance which will permit
Of the redemption of the cats by their
owners. Under the present regulation
the death penalty is inflicted on every
cat found running at large. The value
OF the animal is not taken into consid-
Grafton.
Cat owners began to appear early a,

every mail brought to the Commission
ers brought protests against the regula-
ton.
1t Is understood the Commissioners
are considering amending the ordinance
so as to permit the redemption of the
animals under certain conditions, but
this has not been officially decided. The
regulation was adopted for the preep-y
tion OF rabies, nine feline sufferers from
this disease having been discovered by

met, one headed 10y Robert Gibbons
and the other by Francis Feehan. who
was recognized by the national officers
as the district president.

NO PATIENTS FOUND FOR
NEW PNEUMONIA CURE.

NEW YORK, Jan. l6.-The Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research in
announcing a new serum cure
for pneumonia gave out the statement
that no demonstrations of the new dis
eovery have been made to the medical
men of the city for the reason that
the hospitals of New York were re-
luctant about giving up their patients
to the Rockefeller institution for eX-
periments. Therefore, the institute
made application last night to the New
York fire department for all their
pneumonia patients and the matter is
under consideration.
The anti-pneumonia serum has been
developed through experiments on
monkeys, an animal capable OF de-
veloping pneumonia similar in almost
every way to the human form.
