Cats are Trained
to Upset Lamps
and Cause Fires

New York. April .4.-Stories OF how
cats are taught to upset lamps thus
setting fire to buildings were related
hero today by c. D. West, manager of
tho investigating and prosecuting de-
partment of the National association
of Credit Men in detailing exposures
OF schemes used by storekeepers to
gain insurance.
While investigating in Paterson. N.
j., recently Mr.. West said .he became
interested in the disappearance of
several satchels used for transport
ing animals. He traced the case to
Chester. Penn. and the trail led him
to n man whom he found to be appar-
emily fond of cats.
II soon found out tho reason" he ad-
ded. The cats were being trained to
fight lamps 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
purchase a trained cat and leave it in
his store with a lighted lamp. The
owner could go home and sleep sound
ly-assured that while he slept the cat
would knock over the lamp, and his
store would be destroyed
