DEPRIVED Of DRINK,
CAT TRIES SUICIDE

NEW YORK, July 2s.--'"That cat
will como to bad end" prophesied
the disappearing lawyers of the
Yorkville Police court many a time in
the last four years as they watched
Mike. the big black and white pet of
Michael Durkin, go up to Durkin' g
bartender and loudly demand his
"marnin's marnin." No mere milk
ever could do Mike. He had to have
a "stack" in it.
Durkin's place is just door or two
from the Yorkviile Police court. Mike
was great friend with those who had
to drop into Durkin's after case had
been heard. Mike had to have his
milk punch four times a day. There
was good strong one when Durkin
closed up.
A week ago Durkin's place was
closed. Mike could not find another
place with a bartender who could mix
as good milk punch or any one chart
table enough to invite him to have a
drink. Today he determined TO end
II all. He climbed to the roof of the
building where Durkin had his place.
With a despairing meow" he flung
himself of. About six feet from the
sidewalk he was stopped by the head
and shoulders Of Policeman O'Neill.
ONeill picked him up and recognized
him. He ran across to the nearest life
saving station" poured a glass of whis :
key into a bowl of milk and laid Mike
before 1t. Mikes nostrils twitched and
he came to life.

LONDON. Juiy 23.-The registra-
ton at Somerset house today OF the
World Tobacco company with a cap
ital of sz,5o0.oo0 shows that George
]. whelan and others of the United
Products company are determined to
invade the European tobacco field. II
IL impossible at the present time to
learn how the company is to be con-
stituted or what its objects are, as
the papers are not available, but your
correspondent understands that the
formation Of the company is the re-
servations by Mr.. Whelan and some of
his associates.
Two years ago Mr.. Whelan told your
correspondent that he had an idea of
invading the retail tobacco trade OF
England, as he believed there were
tremendous possibilities Of repeating
the success Of the United Cigar Stores
company. Since that time Mr.. Whe-
Ian, during his recent trips to Eu-
rope. has been observing the ground
carefully. but II was not until the
last six months that the systematic in
vestigation which characterized the
starting OF the United Cigar Stores
company was put in operation.
The retail tobacco trade Of Eng
land Is principally In the hands of the
Imperial Tobacco company. Of which
the British American Tobacco COM
pany, which Is a subsidiary OF the
American Tobacco trust, Is one of
the principal owners. There are in
dependent retailers. but the bulk of
the trade is controlled by the I'm
perial company.
The full papers will be available in
a few days when. after they have been
put through tho formalities of stamp
ing and taxing they Will be placed
on the records Of Somerset house.

sulzer After Murnhv.

ALBANY, n. Y. July Ex-Governor
Sulzer attributes the Binghamton
fire to the demoralzed conditions of
the State labor department, which
for some time past has been without
real head. in a statement issued to-
night, and earlier in the day he said !:
The people understand the ques-
ton and will hold Charles F. Murphy
responsible"
In his earlier interview, Governor
Sulzer said
1T is a sad commentary on the
presen. condition of the State labor
department, which is tied up so that
1t cannot execute the laws on the
statute books to prevent these TRACE
dies. the fact is that Mr. Murphy
will not permit his State senate to
confirm the nomination OF Mr..
Mitchell. nor Mr. Lynch, as State
labor commissioner. because he can't
make me name his man for this po-
sition."
In his statement tonight Governor
Sulzer said;
1T is one of the prime objects OF
the State labor department to es-
tablish and ma:ntain conditions that
Will make impossible such a heart
rending tragedy as that which oc-
seems incredible that the Triangle
Shirtwaist company fire of 1911 has
been almost duplicated in all it's most
horrible features. and yet it was this
Triangle Shirtwaist company fire
which directly led to the appointment
OF the Wagner investigating commit

vestigating the cause of that fire, and
of recommending legislation calculated
to prevent such tragedies in the flu

ter protection of the lives OF fac
employees. and in pursuance of these
recommendations. laws were passed
last year, and additional laws this
year, providing for a more rigid In
spection OF factories and more -ade-
quate fire escape. But labor legisla-
ton Is valueless without an efficient

saying that had the nomination OF
Mr.. John Mitchell. as labor commits

ditions might have been established
which would have prevented the
Binghamton horror.
I'm a message to the senate today

Immediately confirmed to the end
that the demoraiized condition of the
labor department might cease. Every
humanitarian instinct. and every SEN
timent of social justice is outraged
by the ignominous servility of the
