D. C. COURT ERRED
IN CAT SHOW ROW
U. S. Court of Appeals Rules Suit
Should Have Been Tried,
Not Dismissed.

The United States Court Of Appeals
held today that the District Court
should have given serious considera-
ton to the dispute between two fac
tions Of the Columbia Cat Fanciers,
Inc, instead Of telling them to go home
and try to compose their differences
out Of court.
The corporation had charged that
"a wicked conspiracy" existed in the
ranks OF its members to prevent a
cat show scheduled for December 6,
1895, and to take over control of the
organization.
After brief hearing. however, Chief
Justice Alfred A. Wheat counseled the
litigants to seek a peaceful solution of
their troubles and dismissed the bill
Of complaints.

Justice Harold NJ Stephens, the Court
OF Appeals today decided that the
clubs suit averred sufficient facts to
support an injunction and that the
case shuld have been tried.

what was destined to become one of
the leading industrial concerns in the
country.
The rubber tire business grew apace
with the rapid growth of the auto
mobile industry and the Firestone
plant was expanded periodically until
in the boom years Of the World War
it employed more than 10000 persons.
Established Plantations.
With the tremendous expansion Of
the tire business, Firestone realized the
necessity Of constant supply Of raw
materials. He acquired for his COM
pany cotton mills in Massachusetts,
and established buying centers for raw
rubber in Malay. Next he acquired
land in Liberia. where he established
his own rubber plantations
The last move was an important
factor in the campaign he inaugurated
against Great Britain's rubber monop-
oily. That country had passed a law
restricting the annual output.
AS president of the Rubber Asso-
citation of America from 1916 to 1918,
Firestone interested himself in or
ganizing the associate activities
into war work.
He was president Of subsidiary
company in Canada and director Of
another in England. He also was pres
ident OF the Ffrestone Steel Prod
ucts Co.
For several years Mr.. Firestone and
his intimate friends, Henry Ford and
the late Thomas A. Edison, spent part
OF their vacations together in camping
parties and trips. They were accom-
panied on some occasions by the late
President Harding.

BABY B0ND'SALES
FELL HERE IN 1887
Total Drops From $24,712,000 in

in contrast to the steady gain shown
throughout the Nation.
Sales of the securities amounted to

ords for sales throughout the country,
with maturity value of $4,000, 900,
the largest amount sold in any month
since these bonds were first offered
on March !, 1885.
The maturity value of the sales ex-
ceeded that Of January, 1887, by ap-
proximately $3,0O0,000. The increased
sales noted at the beginning of each
have been due to the fact that
many investors buy savings bonds on
an annual basis, and generally make
their purchases in January.

RECTOR |SS[A|N,
FEWCLEWSFOUND
Dr.. Charles H. Lee Murdered
in Home on st. Simons
Island.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga, Fch. -
Rain-washed footprints and two .3s-
caliber bullets gave slender clues todav
to the nocturnal slayer Of DR.. Charles
H. Lee, vice-fighting rector Of historic
Christ Church.
A midnight sniper, aiming from 4
corner Of the rectory garage, shot the
72-year-old rector Saturday night as
ne worked over a sermon in his home
on this vacationist haunt OF the coast
Of Georgia.
The footprints trailed an eighth Of
mile through moss-hung, tangled
woodland toward the island recreation
pier, then faded out in a growth Of
goose-grass.
Coroner J. o. Baldwin, recessing the
inquest until Tuesday, said the prints
were made by sharp-toed dude va
riety" shoes Of size 9 or 10, and the
depressed toes indicated the wearer
was hurrying.
One Of the two bullets, an ordinary
lead slug, was found embedded in a.
wall with its line Of flight indicating it
had passed within inches of the rector's
head. The other, copper -jacketed
missile, had crashed through his brain
and ranged past the walls Of two
rooms.
The weapon from which the bullets
were discharged, Police Chief L. O.
Goodwin said, apparently was q re-
volver because we found no elected
shells"
A friend Of the rector, G. C..
Durand, headmaster of Sea Island
School, said DR.. Lee had been dis.
turbed over what he described as vice
conditions in the region. He said
Mrs. Lee quoted her husband as saying
"Some great tragedy will have to oc-
cur before Glynn County will have
law and order"
This" said the school master, "looks
like the tragedy. There are many
dives being operated on the island
which DR.. Lee, myself and others
have been moving to clean out"
Christ Church has numbered among
its congregation during DR.. Lees IL
year tenure such notables as former
President Calvin Coolidge, Mrs. Her
bert Hoover and Industrialist Henry
Ford. 1t was founded at Fort Fred
erica after colonizing Gen. James Ed

Appeal Made to Senator King by
Direction Of Chevy Chase

An appeal to Senator King, of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District Com
mittee, to prevent our people from
starving" by favoring an increased re-
lief appropriation in the Senate, was
made yesterday by members of the
Board Of Directors of the Chevy Chase
Presbyterian Church.
The message was contained in q let
ter. which, said in part:
THE situation is nothing less than
tragic. Unfortunately. the House Of
Representatives turned q deaf ear to
the pleas of local churches, social
agencies and civic organizations, with
the result that literally thousands of
our citizens are now in dire need
This condition had its reflection in
crime and other unwholesome condi-
tions'
Commenting on the letter, the Rev.
Joseph Hillman Hollister. minister of
the church, said today that the $780,
600 allotment to the Board of Public
Welfare passed by the House was
utterly inadequate when the need is
so much greater than ever before"

HOLDING COMPANY
BRIEF IS FLED
Utilities Contend Govern
ment Evades Issue in Su-
preme Court Case.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Electric Bond & Share Co.
and rs subsidiaries told the Supreme
Court today thai q brief filed by the
Government in defense of the 1885
act regulating public utility holding
companies was evasive and misleading.
Preparatory to arguments late
today or tomorrow on validity of the
legislation, the utility companies filed
brief in reply to the Governments Is
contentious that the legislation was
constitutional.
Issue Declared Evaded.
"The Governments BRIEF" the utili-
ties contended. "evades, or miscon-
ceives the fundamental issue in this
case; misrepresents the position OF
the defendants in general and in de-
tail, and defects attention from the
real issues by arguing in extenso for
propositions that are not challenged
and against contentious that are not
made"
Referring to another document filed
by the Government discussing the set
up of the bond and share system, the
utilities asserted:
THE factual brief is entirely super
fluous to the issues here. It can
have no possible purpose or function
except to endeavor, by elliptical ref
erences, innuendo and misinterpreta-
ton, with which it is replete, to Gre
ate an atmosphere of prejudice against
the defendants"
Enforcement Held Main Issue.
The utilities said that the "funda-
mental issue" in the main case was
whether section (A) can be en-
forced. This section prohibits hold
ing companies from engaging in in
terstate commerce unless they reg
lister with the Securities Commission.
ANY fair valuation of the achieve
ments Of the defendants in the public
service and in the development of the
electric and gas industries" the brief
said, with due regard to their obli-
cations to both security holders and
the consumers served by their sub
sidiary companies, must concede that,
on balance, they have served and not
betrayed the public interest OF invest
ors and consumers"
