Sly Rat Who Nips Woman

Victim, Rossed From Sleep.
Complains to Health Chiefs;
to Exterm;natc House Rats

The rat that bit Mrs. Mary Mccarthy
the other night laid up lot of trouble
for his tribe. The Health Department
is after them. If the rat had been
satisfied with one bite, Mrs Mccarthy
might have been also. But it bit her
twice, and however the rat felt about
1T. Mrs. Mccarthy was not satisfied at
all.
Mrs Mccarthy lives at 100 Twelfth
Street, Long Island City. She loves
dumb animals, and when rat woke
her up the other night by biting her
right leg, she refrained from telling
the Health Department. The next
night. however the rat--or some rat
called on her again.
She heard it in the bed and was
thinking up a good way of soaring it
when the rat, which apparently had
been meditating along similar vein
concerning her, bit her in the lip. The
rat beat Mrs. Mccarthy to it in that
instance. There is no doubt about it..
Mrs. Mccarthy was scared.
She was indignant, too, and she told
the Health Department about the rat
Commissioner Copeland directed DR..
George j. Gabard to go to Mrs. Nc
Carthy's home and catch rat, not
with the idea Of indicting it for
mayhem, but just to see whether the
rats in the Mccarthy home were germy
DR.. Gabard caught one, and if it turns
out to be gernSy rat the whole tribe
is doomed. -

King George Said to Have

Plans for Setting Up a
Native Cabinet in Cairo
10 Terminate MartiaIT.aw
Protectoratc To Be Abol-
ished and independence
Granted Under Guarantees

FROM The Tribure's European Bureau
copyright. 1922, New York Tribune lnc}
LONDON, Feb. 17.-Field Marshal
Lord Alenby, hero of the Palestine
campaign. has convinced the British
Oanlnet that the British protectoratc
over Egypt must be abolished as the
first step toward setting up an Egyp-
tan Cabinet at Cairo, it was learned
authoritatively to-day. Lord Alcnby
was received by King George this after
noon, to whom he set forth the princi
pic details of his plan for revision Of
Egyptian affairs.
The Tribune CORES spondent learns
officially that the statement that Lord
Allcnby has been empowered by the
British government to terminate the
protcctorate and recognize Egyptian in
dependence under certain guarantees is
subs tantaly correct"
This sgnalizes virtua, return 10
the policy suggested more than Il year
ago BY Lord Miner and the abandon
ment Of the belief that the British
should concedc nothing until the
Egyptians set up a functioning gov
ernment.
1t is understood in wcl-informed
quarters that Abdel Khalek Sarvat
Pasha, former Egyptian Minister Of
Justice. will be called upon to form
cabinet at Cairo. He is more accept
able to the British than ABLY Pasha,
former Egyptian Premier. who headed
the Nationalist delegation to London
last November
Lord Allenby also has been en-
powered, it is understood. to terminate
the state of martial law in Egypt and
TO call a meeting of representatives of
the Egyptian Nationalists and the Brit
lsh government to consider the future
disposition of British troop garrisons
and to define the guarantees which
London wants for the military protec-
ton Of the Suez Canal. Other guaran-
ties which Great Britain wants and
which will be discussed at this meet
ing are the maintenance of the Brit
lsh right to protect foreigners in
Egypt and the prevention of interfer-
cnce in Egyptian affairs by any power
other than Great Britain.
Lord Allenby is returning to Cairo
probably next Wednesday, and is ex
pected to take immediate steps toward
the formation of an Egyptian govern
ment, including a Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and the convening of a consti-
tucnt assembly. Until this has been
done, British troops will remain in
Egypt, although it is possible that thew
will be rcdistrbuted within the ncxt
few weeks.

Vermont Abolishes Cells.
Adopts Open Dormitories
Furnishes Prisoners Who Break
Kules by Barring Them at
Pcnitcntiary Film Show

WINDSOR, VI, Feb. 17.-Cells arc
being torn out at the Vermont state
prison here. and the prisoners, eighty
eight in all, arc sleeping in open dor
mitories with two guards to watch
them. The radical change represents
the introduction of new system in
the treatment Of convicts.
The dormitories consist of two big
rooms, or halls. Each man has his
small cot and vanished wooden chair
standing close by. At the side of the
room each man has his own compart-
ment for personal belongings and his
tobacco. Smoking is permitted in the
dormitories.
A few cells will be kept, but only for
men whose offcnses are serious. For
mild infractions the prisoners lose the
privilege of attending the screen show
which is given Saturday afternoons.
The new system has been in effect a
short time and the officials declare it
is having q beneficial effect upon the
prisoners. They are much more cheer
full and responsive, those in charge de-
clare.

The commerce secretarys Office, how

reported, goes with the dictatorship

more important national problems, in

bigger jobs allotted to the Department

which will take at the very least all the
remaining time of his Administration.
Although Secretary Hoover's personal
fortune is not as great as is generally
accredited him, his finances are in a
state of security that makes it unnec-

LONDON, Feb. 17.--Tho Irish Free
State bill passed its second reading in
the House Of Commons this evening
without opposition, after the amend
mcnt offered by Captain Charles Craig
proposing dclction Of The treaty clause
establishing an Ulster boundary COM
mission had been defeated, SOP to 60.
Austen Chamberlan, government
leader in the House. winding up the
argument for the treaty. said that the

one of the most momentous decisions
IN the history OF Parliament. Ii the

On the other hand, a vote favoring the
treaty and giving it legislative effect
meant that the pact, including pro
vision for a boundary comm ssion,
would stand as written.
Denies Doubtful Meaning in Treaty
Insisting that he was stalking his
whole political life and reputation on

there was any doubt regarding the
meaning Of the language used regard

dary commission themselves would be
the sole Judges of the authority the
treaty gave them.
"How can the commission cocrcc

He pointed out that the commission
was bound to consult the wishes of the
inhabitants Of disputed territories and
hear their expressions of desire to be-
