Pole Cat Disrupts
 Georgia Court

Dalton, Ga. May 8. - There are cats and cats. Some make good household pets and some do not The one that put monkey wrench in the machinery of Superior Court here a few days ago would not be se- lected by housewives to keep the premises clear of rats.
 Persons passing the courthouse several days ago thought the build ing was on fire. Huge clouds of smoke were issuing from the win dows. Those Investigating had their fears turned into amazement.
 Entrance into the courtroom dis closed jurors, witnesses and spec tators enveloped in a maze of smoke that would have done credit to the Chicago fire, while Judge Tarver sat on the bench without uttering a pro- test. Thereby hangs a tale.
 A short time before, according to those who would stop smoking long enough to talk, some small boys in- vaded the courthouse yard accom- panied by a small black and white striped cat, which took up a position just under the window at the back of the judges bench.
 Although his arrival was un- healded his presence was soon known when jurors began gaspins for breath, and one of them had to be carried out. After the judge had battled between dignit and comfort for some time dignit was worsted. He broke his ironclad rule against smoking by persons in the court room during sessions of court. Gen tlemen,' he announced, rapping for order, You who have tobacco to smoke prepare to smoke it now!"
 A bailiff dispatched the cause of ehe disturbance with a pole. a proper weapon, considering the species of the victim.

TO CURB CRIME
AND FIN Al cIAL
GROUPS TAKE PLEDGE TO BACK
UPHOLDERS OF LAW-cATHO-
Lies LEAD MOVEMENT.

Catholic laymen are taking a con-
spicuous part in the efforts of repre-
sentative citizens to curb crime in Chi
cago and educate the public to a per-
sonal responsibility for the observance
and enforcement Of the law. This
group of Catholics attended the big
gathering last Monday when about
200 leaders in the industrial, financial
and commercial, life of the city met
to hear reports Of conditions and de-
wise remedies.
Five Catholics who occupy high po-
sitions in public life stirred the audi
ence to fervor OF zeal when they
pictured the situation as one of the
gravest menace to the safety Of the
city They are:
Charles c.. Fitzmorris, the young
chief of police; Robert E. Grove,
states attorney; George E. German,
former congressman and first assistant
states attorney; Judge Kichkham
Seaman, chief justice of the Criminal
Courts, and James G. Condor, attor-
ney for the Crime Commission, under
whose auspices the meeting was held
The suggestion for the special as
signment OF the judges came after
Judge Seaman had described the meth
dds by which criminals and their
abettors had undone the work of the
police and escaped punishment. Judg7
Seaman challenged the people of Chi
cago with this statement:
"Our fathers built city on quag
mire; they built it bigger and better
after the fire of 1871; they arose and
crushed anarchy when it showed its
head Have we become a race o.
yellow men, that we let handful Of
criminals terrify and defeat u.s."

Miss Mary Gockel of Milwaukee. en-
couraged by the Rev. P. Hagspiel, S.

with phenomenal success in Europe
The society rapidly spread to other
dioceses and soon sent large sums of
money and quantities of vestments.

TAX ON RELIGION
OBNOXIOUS LAW is PROPOSED IN
JUGO-SLAViA.

There is much discussion in liberal
political circles concerning the pro-
posed tax on religion in Jugo-Slavia.
Paragraph IL of the Constitution
clearly states that '.The State recog-
nizes freedom of religion and freedom
of conscience. and that no one can be
forced to give expression to his reli-
Sious convictions"
Nevertheless, the so-called political
liberals propose that every member
of every religious denomination should
pay tax to the state to be used for
religious purposes.
According to DR.. Janko Simrak, the
result of this tax would be to make
the people hate the clergy and reli,
gion in general. to promote irreligion
and place the Church entirely in the
hands Of the state
