Dear Editor:
This dog and cat story happened
,,,,te a ways from Kennewick, but
thought it unusual enough that
a might interest your readers:
An English setter belonging to
howard Coppock, a farmer living
eight miles north of Pullman, had
a litter of eleven pups last Wednes-
day. This family was augmented by
a black cat and her seven kittens
two mornings later.
We entered the woodshed to find
the canine and feline families shar-
ing the same gunnysack in corner
of the woodshed. Two pups were
sucking the cat, yelping an occa-
s;onal sentiment of disgust at the
inadequate supply of milk and three
Kittens were nearly smothered be-
meath crawling pups.
We moved the cat to the opposite
side of board partition, but the
bewildered creature, dissatisfied
with her reduced family, fastened
to the dog, rubbed persuasively
against the dogs nose, snatched a
puppy by the back of its neck, and
carried the yelping prize to her new
home. She stole four pups in this
fashion before her family had in
creased to satisfactory proportions.
When we returned the pups, the
cat promptly took two others. After
these were restored to their proper
mother, the distressed cat paced a
frenzied path between the two filters
for half an hour before deciding in
favor of her kin.
All this while the setter remain
ed unperturbed. She seemed to be
saying to the over-zealous cat:
"Take a few; I have more than I
can feed, anyhow!"
Sincerely, MERIT LAMPSON

TOPUTIN NEW
PUMP AT WELLS
Consumption Demand Forces Addi-
tions; Further Drilling Planned
for Near Future

Anticipating an increased de-
mand for gas service this fall, the
Northwestern Natural Gas Corpor-
alton is planning the installation of
an additional 160-H. P. pumping
unit to it's present battery of COM
pressors at it's Rattlesnake Hills dis
tributing plant near Benton City,
says recent dispatch in the North
western Oil & Gas news.
An increase of between 20 and Is
percent in consumers during 1884
was made by the company, and it is
expected that a proportionate in
crease will be had during the cur
rent year.
The gas is being obtained from
fifteen wells on the Rattlesnake
Hills structure in Benton county
and is being served thru some 100
miles of pipe line to the towns of
Granger, zillah, Mabton, Grand
view, Prosser, Sunnyside and Top
penish. 49,.
According to r. B. Newborn, pres
ident of Northwestern Natural, the
company expects to commence a
drilling campaign soon to develop
additional supplies of gas for con-
templated extension of the pipe
lines. The company also expects to
continue the deep test well, now
down 1872 feet, to explore the un-
DERIVING sedimentary formations
with a view to determining the
source pool of gas and prospects for
oil believed present.

be the only means Of conquering her

Through Attorney Raymond Neu-

Moore charges that on another oc-

from going to work, and fought SO
valiantly that he finally was forced
to bind her hands and feet and tie
her to q radiator before he could don
his uniform and leave for the police

used any physical violence toward his
wife except when forced to do so In

Moore then concluded by asking the

DIVISION Of COURT
ON GOLD ACT SEEN
Further Conflicting Views
Are Presented as Final
Arguments Near.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Moving toward a judgment on a
paramount New Deal policy, the Su-
preme Court received more conflicting
views today on the legality of the
abrogation of gold payments.
While the tribunal prepared to hear
final arguments in five cases chal-
Ienging the act. observers gained the
impression there was sharp division
of opinion among the nine justices.
Opponents of the legislation are dis
putting the right of Congress to nullify
the "gold clause" in bonds and other
securities. This clause provided for
payment in gold or its equivalent"
and the i've complainants demand to
be reimbursed on that basis.
Cumminss Sees "Chaos."
Attorney General Cummings, having
in mind the existence Of some 100
billion dollars worth of such securi-
ties, told the court yesterday that
chaos" would result If it invalidated
the gold payment suspension act.
He asked the court not to handicap
the Government in future moves for
international currency stabilizatlon,
declaring "the time will come when
the United States will be in conference
with the other nations Of the earth
with a view to stabilizing the currency
and fixing standards"
At the White House, however, the
President indicated later that this
country was planning no immediate
step in that direction.
Still later it was stated fatty by
Government fiscal officials, who would
not be quoted, that the United States
participation in any such conference
was not being considered now, though
at some date in the indefinite future,
they indicated. a conference might be
reasonable and logical"
The Attorney General contended
that since the gold content Of the dol
lar has been reduced, an adverse de-
cision would result in the payment Of
$1.69 for every dollar affected by gold
clause contracts.
Counsel for holders of bonds Of the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railroad said that If the law is upheld
the Government would repudiate its
obligation.
Questions Of Court.
Indications that the Supreme Court
might possibly be not all Of one mind
was seen in frequent questions, prin-
cipally by some justices often called
more conservative" than their col
leagues.
Conceding the authority of Congress
to regulate the value of currency, JUS
tice Sutherland wondered If 1t had not
instead sought to regulate the value of
contracts. In that case. he observed.
it lacked the authority.
After completion Of arguments in
the two cases involving the st. Louis
& Iron Mountain bonds, the court was
expected to take up the last two con-
tests. One involves q demand by F.
Eugene Nortz of New York for full
payment equivalent to gold on gold
certificates which he surrendered
when the President called them in.
The other is q claim by John M. Perry
Of New York for the difference in the
amount Of currency he realized on
liberty bonds and their gold redemp-
ton value,

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 10.-France, under
British and italian pressure, was re-
ported today to be considering legal
izing" German rearmament.
This proposed abandonment Of the
strong" polic- of former Premier
CASTOR Doumergue and the late Louis
Barthou, the foreign minister who
was assassinated with King Alexander,
was discussed at today's cabinet
session.
Laval Makes Report.
Pierre Laval, foreign minister who
has just returned from Rome where
he signed Franco-Italian agreement
with Premier Mussolini, reported to
the cabinet on the negotiations.
An abandonment of the strong"
policy, it was said, would be done as
the only means of knowing what
Reichsfuehrer Hitler is doing and with
the hope of achieving the limitation of
ornaments.
Government opposition sharply
criticized such a step as certain to
tie the hands of the French army
while whitewashing Germany and
giving the Reichswehr a free rein.
Sir John Simon, British foreign
secretary. was reported last month
to have half convinced Premier Flan-
din and Laval that they might as
well legalize the German army which
the French believe much larger than
the limitations set by the treaty of
Versailles and which they think will
soon equal Frances.
Opposes Outlaw Treatment.
It was said Sir John told them that
limitation of the Reichswehr might
be possible, but that nothing toward
limitation can be done while Germany
is treated as an outlaw.
Premier Mussolini, getting Laval
alone, is said to have added his
weight of argument to that of Sir
John and to have squelched Frances
remaining hesitancy toward "approv-
ing" Germany's rearmament.
Opposition deputies said they be-
lieve that when Flandin and Laval
go to London shortly, the two cabinet
ministers will be ready to accept the
British and Italian view.

DETAILS ARE SOUGHT
ON MANY PHASES
All Light on 81, 1000, 900, 900 Lump
Sum Desired, Speaker Indi.
Gates to Press.

President Roosevelt discussed today
with congressional leaders the $4,000.
100000 work relief bill which Is
scheduled to be taken UP in Congress
soon. Those who went to the White
House to confer with the Chief
Executive included Speaker Byrns and
Chairman Buchanan of the House
Appropriations Committee, Senator
Robinson Of Arkansas, Democratic
leader of the Senate, and Vice Presi.
dent Garner.
Before the conference met at 1890
pm. Speaker ByrnS made it clear
at press conference that the House
Appropriations Committee would ex.
pect to obtain complete information
about the proposed expenditure Of
this money during hearings ON the
bill.
Details Are Desired.
Many members of Congress, It was
pointed, are interested in where the
money is to be expended, what it Is
to be expended for and who is to
spend 1t.
The lump sum appropriation will be
made in a separate bill in all proba-
bility, it was said. Whether this meas
ure will state what agency is to ad.
minister it is to be determined.
Apparently it is the intention Of
members of the House to obtain all
the light they can on the expenditure
Of this four billion dollars before the
bill appropriating the money is passed.
Liberty League Opposition.
The American Liberty League pro-
posed a 10-point program. including
q declaration that the designation
of the manner" in which funds are to
be spent is exclusively the function Of
Congress.
This contrasts with President Roose.
velt's request that Congress grant $4,-
600, 100000 for work relief, leaving it
| to the Executive to determine just
how the money shall be expended.
Purpose Of League.
The league, which numbers many
prominent and wealthy persons among
its membership, has declared 1t was
formed to uphold liberty and the Con.
stitution. It has said it is not anti
Roosevelt, though high administration
oficials have shown no marked en-
thusiasm about it.
Among the 10 points cited in its
platform were: To preserve American
institutions and ITO combat the growth
of bureaucracy, the spread Of monop-
oily, the socialization Of industry and
the regimentation Of American life;
to provide for those unable to care for
themselves; to further the restoration
of employment and rehabilitation OF
agriculture, business and industry; to
oppose threats to invested savings; to
uphold the principle Of lawmaking by
Congress and law Interpretation by
the courts alone.
Statement Expected.
The league was expected to file to-
day a statement of contributions 1t
has received. Today is the deadline,
under the law, for political organiza.
tions to send reports on 1884 contribu-
tions and expenditures to the clerk Of
the House. Jouett Shouse, president,
had said the league figures would be
