animal dragged the child from bed.
The baby is covered with scratches
from head to foot.
The cat also attacked Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller when they attempted to protect
the child, The animal finally drove the
family out of doors, Fearing hydro
phobia the cat will be wtached for a

Mr. and Mrs. Miller were awakened
about 80 O'Clock in the morning by
the baby's screams The child was on
the floor by the bed, where II was be-
ing clawed Numerically by the cat.
Mrs Miller attempted TO rescue her
baby. when the cat turned on her and
scratched her badly. Mr.. Miller tried
to catch the animal and was attacked.

the cat having bitten the child or the
mother. and declared hSdrophobia

from the cats claws. Mr.. Miller was
bitten on the hand by the animal.
DR. Dougherty could not explain the
cats attack. The animal has two small
kittens and might have been particu-
larly cross on that account He said
he had heard reports OF similar cases,
but never had been brought into con
tact with one before.

Washington. Aug. 10. - Secretary
Wilson is looking for bedbugs in his
official and not his private capicity
Mr. Wilson wants all the bedbugs ne
can get and Furthermore he is willing
to pay. a fair price for them.
This Is not hobby with Tama Jim
In fact, he has no intention of ever
coming in personal contact. with the
unpipular bipeds or quadrupeds or
centipedes. whichever class they hap
pen to belong to. Mr.. Wilson wants
as many Of this speceis Of the bug
family as he can buy at nicked apiece
for purely experimental purposes.
On the old Lewis farm. near Vienna,
a few miles from Washington, the de-
partment Of agriculture maintains an
experimental farm. Every class of
bugs that has any part whatsoever in
farm life is being studied by the de-
partments scientists.
In the railroad station at Vienna this
sign was posted:
Observation-Disclosures. Five cents will
be paid for each <bedbug delivered at
the office Of the experimental farm OF
the department Of agriculture"
The city fathers Of Vienna intend to
call at the farm and make sure that
accommodations have been made for
the safekeeping of the bugs before the
expected shipments arrive. The peo-
pie of Vienna do not like the idea OF
giving any inducements to outsiders to
bring bedbugs near their village.

BANKS TO AID PARTIES.
Will Act a. Relay Agents for Campaign
Contributions.

New York. Aug. ia new plan for
raising money for campaign purposes
has been inaugurated by the demo-
cratic national committee. Popular
subscriptions are to be asked and every
bank and trust company in the United
States has been requested to help In
the work. The scheme will apply to the
democratic, progressive and republi-
can parties alike.
Acting Chairman McAdoo. OF the
democratic committee said today he
had sent to every bank and trust COM
pany in the country asking them to
agree to receive and transmit subscrip-
tions to headquarters OF each OF the
three national parties.
He accompanied his letter to the
banks with q letter. from Governor
Woodrow Wilson endorsing the plan.
In his letter Mr.. McAdoo expressed
the idea that the popular subscription
movement was directly in the line Of
freeing presidential compaigns from
the suspicion Of sinister influences"
and declared that the democratic party
favored the financing OF presidential
campaigns by the people themselves"
He urged the need of convenient and
responsible agencies for the receipt OF
subscriptions and asked the banks and
trust companies to perform "the same
patriotic service" that the newspapers
already had undertaken.
'Will you agree to receive and trans
NIT subscriptions to the democratic ma
tional. the republican national. and
progressive national committees? the
letter continued. Speaking for the
democratic national committee. would
not ask you to act for one unless for
all. This must be a patriotic service to
the public, and not to any one party.
Each day a list OF the banks agreeing
to act will be given to the press.
I'm order that you may know the at
titude of Governor Wilson in regard to
popular subscriptions enclose a copy
OF 4 letter from him on the subject.
just, received"

dressed to Mr.. McAdoo, reads:
ITO bring about the election OF q

tinct and gratifying triumph. 1t would

macy OF our government from those

II am in hearty sympathy with every
effort that may contribute TO such

your associates will push 1t and make
1t an effective instrument for the at

favorable canal legislation which wiz

Tai VIII Sim aiil.

President Taft probably will sign tho
Panama canal bill, altho he dislikes
the form OF the provision exemptinE
American ships in the coastwise trade
from the payment OF tolls. Informal an
nouncement to this effect was made IN
administration circles following n cab-
met luncheon at the White House.
With the adoption OF the conferences
committee report by the house Satur-
day night the measures fate rests ems
tirely with the president. and II was
for the purpose OF discussing the sttua-
ton that the latter requested the mem-
bers OF the cabinet to meet him today.
Disinclinsd 20 Veto.
II Is understood that the president'o
di.inclination to crowd his veto rec
ord was the impelling influence IN arr
riviny at a tentative decision not tn
disapproye OF the canal bill. He do<S
not want to teopardlze the Legislation,
as he feels he might at the time by
arousing additional resentment In con-
press to that already worked UP over
other vetoes
At the same time he hopes. II 10
stated that by letting the blu become
law In its present form congress VIII
see the advisabilty OF the recom~
mendation he had made thru letters TO
committee chairmen and adopt a joint
resolution declaring that nothing In tha
canal act just passed shall be con-
strued as an intention to abrogate any
existing treaty.
Up to Supreme Court.
Bv this means 1t would be left for
the supreme court to determine wheth-
er the toless provision is in violation
OF the Hays Pauncefote treaty and, IL
so, to displace II by It's decision.
Some of the congress leaders doubt-
less have given the president TO UNDER
stand a resolution such as he proposes
will be adopted; but there Is strong
feeling among certain members OF ths
senate and house in favor OF having
American ships pass thru the canal
free OF toll regardless of the treaty or
any Interpretation OF It.
Some OF these members may make n
fight against any action that involves
the possibility OF eliminating the tola
provision by reason Of its being In vio-
Iation or treaty obligations.

Washington, Aug. 19.-After spir-
tied debate the senate today repassed
the vetoed legislative, executive anc
judicial appropriation bill. still carry
ing a provision for the abolition OF the
commerce court. A majority OF the
bill with provision for the retention
Of the court. and when this was elimin :
ated Mr.. Taft's friends predicted that
the bill again would be vetoed.
Important Work Unfinished.
Important legislation that must be
acted on before congress adjourns
stands as follows:
Panama canal bill, before the presi-
dent
Legislative. executive and judicial
appropriation BILL approved by the
house and senate with provision abol-
ishing the commerce court.
Naval, sundry civil and army appro-
priation bills in conference between
the two houses.
General deficiency appropriation bill.
before the senate committee on appro-
priations.
Indian appropriation bill. conference
report pending in the senate.
While adjournment is expected this
week, the date Is generally conceded
to depend upon the presidents attitude
toward tn Panama canal bill and the
legislative executive judicial appropria- :
alton bill
His veto Of the latter measure last
week was based upon it's provisions for
the abolishment OF the commerce
court and the establishment of a seven
year tenure in the civil service: and
congress has again risked the veto
by passing the measure with the COM
merce court provision In It.
Work Nearly Done.
Leaders OF both houses are confident
that the remaining work on the over
due appropriation bills coud be disposed
OF in three days were the contingencies
Of the presidential veto removed. The
president has made 1t clear to mem
bers Of both houses that he does not
favor the free toll provision OF the
Panama canal bill. but he has not as
yet asserted purpose TO veto that
measure.
Thus far congress has not succeeded
In overriding any of the presidents
vetoes, and it is not considered likely
that either the legislative appropria :
ton bill or the Panama canal bill could
be repassed by a two-thirds vote II
vetoed this week. Those tariff and ap-
preparation measures which the house
has repassed over the veto have failed
in the senate. and the single bill which
the senate repassed. that affecting

s116.O00.0O0 bill upon which the two
houses disagreed. all but about fifty
have been settled. and an agreement on
