Persons desiring information on this
subject are advised to address Emil
Kuhn. All that Mr.. Kuhn has to do Is
to arrive at the pound at b:30 a. M,
direct his assistants in getting the
pound wagon into operation, drive over
fifteen or twenty miles of territory. and
collect a hundred or SO cats, not to
mention a few stray dogs without tag
or muzzle. At Z p. m he returns to the
pound. superintends the execution Of the
felines, and answers a dozen telephone
calls concerning lost. strayed, or stolen
pets. After that he has nothing to
do till tomorrow"
Mr. Kuhn, however, declares himself
to be bsy and much harassed man.
Acting as feline executioner of the Dis
trict, he says is wearing on the nerves.
The poundmaster is looking forward
to a vacation but announced positively
that 1t will not be spent In the Cat
skills.
Although all fellnes on promenade un-
attended are liable to seizure, Mr.. Kuhn
has had no time to seek the capture
of the unwary. All of his energies are
devoted to the collection of cats upon
the sugg estion Of the Commissioners
that the stray cats be delivered inlo
the hands of the pOundmaster, and
scores of requests to have the pound
wagon call are received each day and
answered as far as the limited facIli-
ties of the pound service will permit.

parted to their several homes In Hyatts-
Vile none of them the worse for the
treatment and thoroughly over the no.
ton that they have rabies.
The twenty-one days treatment re-
quired have been completed and either
the patients are now immune or they
did not have the germ or rabies in their
blood to start with. 1t is possible that
both of these conditions exist.
their only chance to be infected was
through drinking milk from an infected
COW, a source of infection presumably
negative in danger, the thirteen persons
who took treatment, in the opinion Of
physicians in the hygienic laboratory,
were never infected. This opinion was
expressed when the scare was at its
height and the physicians who then
held this view adhere to II.
In the last year and a half only one
genuine case of rabies has been reported
In the District of Columbia and that
case resulted in death.

PROVE PUZZLE TO
DEPARTMENT HEADS
No Warrant for Deporting
Five Japanese Sailors in
California.

The case Of five Japanese sailors who
sailed in a little junk, the Sumiyosi
Maru, from the coast of Japan. and
were blown clear across the Pacific
ocean to the coast of California, is to-
day worrying officials of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
The Japs were shipwrecked when
within thirty miles of San Diego, and
came ashore at Delmar, Cal. by means
OF RATS. They were put under arrest
and a telegram sent to Washington ask
ing the officials here to authorize a war
rant for their detention on a charge of
having entered the country without in
spection.
The immigration officials in California
were notified to hold them under arrest,
but It is not certain that the charge
OF entering without inspection will
stand, as the sailors were evidently ship
wrecked. They may be able to stay In
the United States without any danger
of being deported. 1t was said to be
their intention to come here when they
set sail from Japan.

weeks is excellent substantiation of the
management's claim Amusement for
all" Children as we'll as the older folk
are daily visiting the park by hun
dreds and afternoon and evening the
resort is crowded.
Last night was no exception to the
rule and possibly the largest Monday
nights crowd in the history of the
park thronged the grounds. watched the
free motion pictures, lined up at the
entrances Of the different amusement
devices and enjoyed several hours of
varied and wholesome enjoyment.
In the dancing pavilion the spotlight
numbers were prime favorites and each
of them was encored by the dancers and
the spectators. Close application of
the rule that proper dancing only is
allowed seems to have met with unani-
nous approval and the big pavilion Is
usually the most popular spot on the
grounds.
Thursday night there will be another
fireworks display and as always admis-
sion to the park will be free.

COMMISSION GETS
CAR TRAGEDY FACTS
|NDETA|LEDREPORT
Secretary Eddy Submits
Statement of Evidence Ad-
duced at Inquest.

The causes of the street car acci-
dent last Friday which resulted in the
death Of John Caspar were laid
before the District electric commit-
sion shortly after 8 o'clock this
afternoon by Secretary II. c. Eddy.
The report which is written and may
be published in full after submission
to the commission, was completed by
Mr.. Eddy last night.
It was stated that the report contain
ed nothing Of great Importance beyond
the fact that It will place before the
commission in detailed and ordered
paragraphs the facts Of the accident as
shown by the coroner's inquest.
Secretary Eddy would not say this
morning that the report recommended
changes In the regulations regarding
street car traffic, but II Is stated that
some suggestions for altered rules are
To Be Told About Cars.
The commission was informed IN a
degree Of the mechanical control of
the cars In the accident. So far nothing
has been determined to show that the
cars were not In good condition, and
that the fault. as stated by the coro-
ner's jury, lay In the motorman, Arthur
Utterback, rather than with the me-
chanical control OF the car and the
condition Of the brakes.
IL was anticipated that the report would
involve the question Of length Of serv-
Ice. The motorman on wnom the cor
oner's jury laid the blame for the ac-
cldent was green operator. Men old
In the service meet with accidents but
they are not so likely to do SO as young
er men. This fact will be laid before The
commission for Its consideration,
The meeting held this afternoon
was called more than a week ago, and
is not a special meeting occasioned by
the accident. However, that accident
together with the secretary's report
will be the major theme of discussion.
Increased Service Ordered.
Traffic matters arising from CON-
plants were disposed of this morning in
large measure by four orders for in.
creased service.
There is nothing in the anticipated
action Of the commission that will ma
terially affect the principals in the
tragedy OF last Friday. The violation
of the rule prohibiting passengers riding
on the running board alone gives the
commission direct Jurisdiction over a
few phases OF the case. and added regtI-
lations will be the only result of the
commissions action. II II goes even thai
far.
The meeting of the commission was
executive. Much interest is mani.
tested in what the commission secretary
reported. but this report, typewritten
was submitted to the commission
privately before the public was directly
Informed OF its contents.

WHAT IS A PLACE?
QUESTION PUZZLES
TREASURY EXPERTS
Banking Law, as Interpret
ed, Permits Several of
Them in Big Cities.

What is a place" and what is a
"city?" This question. because of the
ambiguous language OF the statute COW
ering the organization of national
banks, has been brought to the atten-
ton of the Treasury Department sew
eral times recently.
The law states that in any place"
not having a population exceeding 1900,
a national bank may be organized with
capital of S25.OOO. but that in cities
having a population of more than $4,000
the minimum capital of a national bank
shall be 5000, 900.
An application was made for the es-
adjustment of bank in Jefferson Park.
Chicago. with a capital of less than
500, ,000 The directors asserted that JET
ferson Park was place" and the
fact that 1t was in Chicago had nothing
to do with the amount of capital re-
quired.
The Solicitor Of the Treasury wrote an
opinion last week agreeing to this con-
tention and the Jefferson Park National
Bank was established with a small
capital.
Apparently, each case is considered on
its merits, but the decisions of the de-
partment indicate that there may be
several places" in a "city."
