Albany. April ~.
Gov Miller will put In ten hours Q

the hundreds Of bills left on his desk by
the Legislature giving hearings on i'm.
portant measures: making appointments
to new posts. and getting ready for the
hard summers work laid down for the
executive and his staff.
These are unprecedented days in the
State Capitol. The annual loaflng spell
which is due to follow the strain Of the
legislative windup has not come this
year. The employees on the second floor
have to catch their breath as they keeT
pace with the Executive. Mr.. Miller Is
shooting through the bills on which he
rust act within the thirty day period al
tic rate of fifty or more n day. Albany
Is growing accustomed to seeing the bis
windows in the executive offices lighted
until late at night, which means the
Governor is at his desk.
Two OF the most important public
hearings scheduled for this week before
the Governor will be held on Tuesday
when the motion picture interests viii
make their last stand against the meas
ure creating a State commission to CEN
sor all films, and teachers will protest
against the Lusk bills. requiring loyalty

both measures.
Ninety bills before the Governor dea

There are fifty charter amendments
mostly unimportant. and fifty specia
bills are general. providing for reinstatc'
ment OF policemen or fremen and
making changes in county offices. The
Governor will pass on sixty-one claims
against the State. There are still more
than 500 bills before the Governor.
AS soon as the legislative business IL
out of the way the Governor will turn
his attention to his reorganization pro-
grammc. now only half completed. He
has stated repeatedly that the cut in the
number OF State employees and the re-
duction in running expenses so far made
are only beginning.
Before the next session OF the Iegis-
laturc begins and the work OF preparing
the 1922 budget Is started the Governor
will have completed the most exhaustive
and thorough survey Of the State gov
ernment made In a decade. He Is goins
through the administration from top e
bottom. lie is going TO find out where
and why there is waste. Real business
principles will be applied to every office
with the confident expectation that the
next budget will show rcductionssmany
times larger than those already made.
The new Board OF Estimate and Con.
troll will be functioning within a month
This body is going TO undertake the task
OF getting up a scientific budget and will
spend the summer months reviewing the
expenses and operations OF bureaus and
departments. Consolidation OF many bu-
reaus, eliminating the duplication OF
work, will be tho probable result

The chairman pointed out that pres

mand Of 100000 a day upon the Gov

vantage. His plan, he asserted, would

cific common stock and II would then
amount to about sS0.000,000.
While he admitted that this would be
little improvement on present conditions.
re pointed out that II tne average opeT-
sting cost OF the combined system could
be brought TO the Canadian Pacific level
IL would represent a saving Of s56.O00.-
900. The remaining deficit. he declared.
could be brought down to eleven or
.welve million. and this. with lowering
operating costs and with immigration,
development and settlement, would
gradually be caught up with.

CATS TRAINED TO UPSET
LAMPS AND CAUSE FIRES
Investigator for National Association of Credit Men
Explains Scheme Used by Storekeepers to Collect
Insurance-Each Pussy Costs $3.50.

How cats are taught to upset lamps
and set fire to buildings was told yes
terday by C. ID. West. manager of the
investigation and prosecution depart
ment of the National Association of
Credit Men. in explaining schemes used
by storekeepers to collect insurance.
He declared that the scheme was used
for several years before his department
saw anything significant in the fact
that a great number of fires occurred
in which a cat was always either res
cued or was killed; at any rate. there
was always a cat around.
Mr.. West and his agents became
convinced that the cats had something
to do with the fires, but for some time
they were unable to establish the con-
neCtion. The first real clue was found
in Paterson. N. j.. where Mr.. West
went to investigate a suspicious fire
in clothing store. He learned that
several satchels belonging to a man
In the neighborhood had disappeared,
and he had a feeling that the satchels
and the cats and the fires had some
thing to do with each other. He traced
the missing satchels to Chester, Pa
and the trail led him to the home of a

WashlnRton, ID. c.. April 2f.


James NJ Cox the Democratic candi-
GATE for President in the last cam
paign. IL being urged. IL developed TO-
day. 10 become a candidate for Governor
Of Ohio next year as the initial step In
making n fresh start for the White
House. Gov Cox already has held the
post for three terms and those OF his
friends who want him to run again
believe he might win again. thereby
putting him directly In line Tor the
Democratic nomination in 1924
The possibility OF Gov. Cox doing this
is the basis Just now OF good deal or
talk among politicians The informa-
ton Is that some of the Cox leaders
here have talked the matter over with
the Democratic leaders.
Gov. Cox lost Ohio IN the last cleo
ton by 100000 votes after three victo-
ries in the state. His friends say con-
dltions were unusual In November and
that such an Overwhelming vote did not
truly represent the consideration the
State holds for him. They believe he
might be able 10 redeem himself IN an
OF year with campaign based on his
past record as Goernor. particularly II
iissa tisfacti0H ~houid arise against the
present Republican State administra-
tion.
III Gov. Cox then should succeed In re-
deeming the state for the Democrats in
a Gubernatorial election, his friends de-
clare. they would have an unbeatable
argument FOR him at the next national
Democratic convention They could
show what lie had done IN Ohio. while
at the same time pleading his case from
the standpoint that having borne tho
brunt OF tsc candidacy IN certain
Republican year. he should be entitled 70
another chance.
on the other hand. some OF Gov. Cox's
friends believe that 10 put him mp as
candidate FOR Governor again would be
taking a needless chance. At this stage
OF the situation II would be 10 no means
certain he could win the election. and
II he failed Il would dispose ~ him for
ever as n Presidential possibility They
would prefer 10 wait until political can
dldates become more crystalized, and
there were indications OF swing back
from the Republicans.
Gov. Cox. 20 far az can be learned.
has been silent on the matter, even 70
his closest friends. lie has said mercy
that he il not n candidate for anything
and that he does not intend TO brew
trouble In advance.

man whom he found to be apparently
fond Of cats
There was nothing particularly
strange about this. of course but Mr..
West thought it was unusual for the
cats owned by this man to have so
many burned paws. He saw several
in the vicinity OF the mans home. and
all Of them were in the same condi-
ton. His suspicion was confirmed
when he saw one of the cats jump at
lighted match with which the man
was lighting a cigarette. Mr.. West
questioned the neighbors of the man
and found that they considered him
slightly eccentric; they said he was
always doing queer things with his
cats and lighted lamps. training the
animals to fight fire
Then l found that the cats were
being trained to upset lamps" said Mr..
West, "and when their training was
completed they were sold for $3.50
each. So when a man wanted a fire
in his store all that was necessary
was to purchase a trained cat and
leave II in his store with a lighted
lamp. The owner could go home and
sleep soundly. or establish his alibi.
assured that meanwhile the cat would
find the lamp. overturn. 1t and thus
destroy the store"
