Odds Far Too Strong;
 Pole Cat Killed Dick

Palm Beach. Feb. 3.--John R.. Bradley's we'll known tomcat Dick got into a fight with a skunk last night and was killed. He was buried on the Beach club property where he had stood watch ten years. MT. Bradley says he would like sugges- tions from some of Dicks friends and he, is believed to have had more friends in society than any other cat in America-for a fitting inscription for his tombstone.
 Hundreds of newspaper stories and photographs of Dick have been pub lished since his owner made bet eight years ago that no dog could whip him in fair fight. Among the dogs he cleaned up soon after was a $5,000 prize bulldog belonging to Ed ward R. Mclean and Newport Nip per, belonging to the late Hamilton Cary.
 Dick had never lost a fight before, and that he should have been killed by a polecat, his owner believes, must have been because he lost his breath before he got started.

 The petition said. in part:
 Many of the citizens of Springfield remember that this same Irish presi- dent was a notorious German spy and traitor to the Allies cause during the war; that both himself and the Sim Fein party worked day and night for German victory His mission to this city, as elsewhere, has for it's purpose the stirring up of trouble between the United States and a former ally and friendly power"

 House provisions which include permissivo consolidation by the roads will be retained, Senator Cummins an nounced- In addition, the provisions of the Esch bill will be strengthe ened so that the interstate commerce com mission will be authorized to work out a general consolidation plan in which all consultations must fit.
 The conferees also reached 4n agreement whereby carriers can chai- lenge intra state rates provided by state comm issions, but before doing so they must submit their proposed substitute rates to the commerce commission for it's approval.
