THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1912. OLD CAT CLUB DIES TWO LIVE TO FIGHT Smart Set Curls Up Backhand Fission Occurs "Among Feline Fanciers. MIDNIGHT SOIREE. IS HELD Husband and "Wife Now Seeking Di Torce Arrayed on Opposing Sides - and lie torts Courteous Pass. ' Rival Benefits by Coup. . Portland now has two cat clubs. "Both claim the title, "Oregon Cat Club." John E. Howard Is president of one. Paul Maloney is president of tne oiner, and A. E. Kent the treasurer ana mu in srJirit. Howard says he has 84 catowners. In his club. Malonoy's has nine lives. Such, briefly, is the story of the two rival Oregon cat clubs. And now the " original purpose of the club, the amelioration of the lot of cats, has been lost sight of. And the question is whether John E. Howard or airs, joiin E. Howard was tne injured pim " the divorce case wherein each has filed charges against the otner. Smart Set Archea Hack. The word eat is no longer men tioned in connection with the poor for lorn and forsaken four-legged animals they had met originally to cherish and to love. The question nbw is: "Whose side do you take, his or hers?" and "How can we be the real "If of cat- dom and how can be damage nts casei With the natural Tesult that those who originally went Into the club under the impression that this was a club for lovers of some particular species or genus of animal are getting tired of It all. All the same they do not intend to stand by and see their champion worsted for lack . or sup port. V .Three years ago tne Oregon Cat Club came into existence. It has since held two shows, each of which has been a success; at least so one part or the other claims. But. at the conclusion of the last show several of the smart set and the four hundred wrote to the dub stating that they would not snow again, or help the cause of the felici tous feline any further unless certain people resigned from the membership of the club. Among tnem were Mr. uio Mrs. A. E. Kent. Split Inevitable Result. Thereupon occured a split. Mr. and Mrs. Kent, each one separately and collectively, refused to resign, with the result that parties took sides. At this stage of the game the original pur pose of the club began to become some what obscured, but as yet It was still, ricrti mHvplv sne&kinr. on the horizon. There now were two factions, the . Howard Oregon Cat .Club" and the Kent Oregon Cat Club," . the former much the stronger numerically; social ly, and much the more devoted to cats; this latter assertion on their honor and n&th as fallow citizens. Foremost among the members of the Kent Oregon Cat Club was Airs, jonn v. Hiunrd So far no snllt had oc curred, but each side felt the heat of the burning volcano, and eacn tongea ardently for the eruption. It came at the general meeting. The Howardites claim that Mr. Kent was too much of an orator, and also that he would not allow the women an op portunity of speaking, in his desire, they claim, to be the "whole thing" himself. So from the outset the tem perature was somewhat torrid. Proceedings came to a climax when, in discussing the accounts, Mr. Kent accused Mr. Howard of appropriating $50 from the accounts, a charge which naturally the Howardites resented strenuously. "I can prove that he took the money," said Mr. Kent. "You cannot," the members- of the Howard Oregon Cat Club called back. . "I will," said Mr. Kent, as he de jnanded the resignation of the accused. A committee on investigation was formed, they met and at the outset the partisans declared they would stay till midnight. And -stay till midnight they did. In the end all Mr. Kent could say was: "I tell you it's somewhere in the books," but finally he admitted that he was told Mr. Howard had taken it. "Who told you?" "Mrs. Howard." (Sensation in court, as they say of those cases.) Gone were all the cats from the horizon, if cats ever hang on an hori roru At any rate they slunk away in the pale moonlight, with their lovely Persian or Russian 'tails between their legs, saying gently: "This is no place for us. Back to our mouses." Kent Faction Found Wronn-. So far, with a packed house of their partisans, which of course was always numerically the stronger, the vanguard of the Howard army had matters all their own way. In addition they did a little private sleuthing of their own. They went up to Julius Meier, of the Meier & Frank Company, who had given a handsome donation to the cat show, and found out that really there was no J50 missing, for Mr. Meier had given 150 less than Mr. Kent said he had. "and Julius Meier ought to know how much he gave, seeing what a busi ness man he is," added one of the How ard contingent. "Therefore there is no misappropriation of funds; therefore the Kent contingent are wrong, as they always have been." In their anxiety to have absolute control, however, the Howard party overreached themselves. They at tempted to annul and to reconstitute In one night a very unparliamentary proceeding. 'Tother side had their look in. They tield a meeting and did likewise. And the funny part of the whole story is that each side seems to have held meetings, to have elected its own offi cers to have done all kinds of things that no self-respecting body of people would .have done, this according to the other aide, whichever that happened to be pro tern. To resume with 'tother side-, though. They held their meeting and decided to incorporate secretly. -sp as to be the tlrst to secure the name "Oregon Cat Club" for be it known that in the old peaceable days no one had thought of incorporating. ' Weil! A very bulky, lengthy con stitution, page upon page of "dope" with the addresses of the officers, their telephone numbers, and some of the private history biographies were sent to Salem.- There, such little technical lnnacuracies could not be supported or allowed for one- moment. So back it was sent. Here came the master hand of the writer of-drmma. Supposedly Mr. Olcott or his subordinates forgot the address of the sender and the name. So they locked It up In the directory and they found John F. Howard as the pres ident of the Oregon Cat Club. To him that Kentish document was returned for correction' Think of it. Truly a masterly Par thian shot. Mars now Is fighting for the camp of Howard. With their leader to think was to act Hastily a meeting was called. Hastily the articles of Incorporation were drawn up, yet not too hastily to be ware of avoiding the pitfalls that be set the other faction. Mrs. Claude L Simpson was deputized to take the ar ticles to Salem. .A train was waiting, and she sprinted to catch it, a deed she accomplished, but with dimculty. The Capitol at Salem was reached at 4:59 P. M., Greenwich time. The stenographer and the assistants had left at 5:01 (their own time), so Mrs. Simpson was. left to persuade Mr. Olcott to settle it, "The' Clnb Is Incorporated. A few minutes later residents were surprised to see a woman leaping down the steps four at a time, fleeing from the Courthouse as if for her life. -And no wonder. In her trust reposed the future of the Howard faction. She was not going to risk being callea back, forjn her hand she bore the re ceipt for filing and the receipt tor re organizing and incorporating "THE" Hrptrnn Oat Club. A delegation met her at Portlan. They heard the news, and one of them mtomnlv and with the voice of a Quaker politician remarked: "In the words of- that great colonel, itooseveii. The Lord hath delivered tne enemy into our hands!" And last night at 8 P. M. the Kent Oregon Cat Club met at 61S Chamber of Commerce at what time tne tiowara Cat Club was meeting at 232 Chamber of Commerce. ADAMSON BILL DELAYED PHYSICAL VALUATION MEASURE OXCE "YEAR VOTE. Mjann Offers Amendment Prescrib ing in Detail How Carriers- Can " Go Into Debt. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. An amend ment offered by 'Republican Leader Mann, proposing a rigid regulation of the Issuance of stocks and bonds, pre vented nassage by the House yesterday of the Adamson bill that would author ize a special commission to ascertain the physical valuation of railroads and other Interstate carriers with the view of aiding the Interstate Commerce Commission In fixing equitable freight rates. rehatn on the bill, which was fa vorably reported by the interstate and foreign commerce committee at uia last session, had been - in progress nearly five hours and a vote was about to be taken when Mr. Mann moved that the measure be sent back to the com mittee with instructions that it be re ported with his proposed section added. After an extended debate on a point of order, against the amendment, the matter went over until Thursday by unanimous consent. Mr. Mann's ' amendment would pre scribe in detail how an interstate car rier should incur indebtedness and would Drohibit the issuance of stocks, bonds or notes except in return for money or other consideration approved by the Interstate Commerce tommii sion. With a nermanent corps of experts inquiring into the value of carriers' property, the proposed law would make it possible for the Interstate Commerce Commission to fix rates on the basis of profits to be realized on actual la vestments Instead of on paper valuations. SHOW ENGINE LOOKS REAL Even if It 19 Only Canvas, It Makes Koise to Deceive -at Empress. A Portland-made . locomotive, manu factured from canvas with the excep tion of a few electrical fittings, is used in "Number 44," the railroad play let at the Empress Theater. When the same act was presented here more than two vears ago the stage engine, wmcn nlavs an important part in tne utue drama, was "wrecked," and the entire contrivance was replaced by a Port land stage carpenter employed, in a scenic studio here. Since that time the canvas locomotive has made its stage trio fullv 300 times, and was a "good engine" until yesterday when it jumped the theater track. - 'It's like a pet and wants to snow it tov uDon returning home, explained Byron Bidweu, tne star ot in rjuiruau Off stage tne locomotive is mucn like a huge camera. In the stage scene it winds around a stretch of the Rocky Mountains and Its headlight grows larger and larger until the engine itself looms like a ' big mogui ana puns and grinds realistically as if it had been borrowed from the Southern Pa cific yards for the occasion. Several hands of .the Empress staff and. "-the whole cast of "2Number 44, : four "men and a woman, are kept busy off stage In bringing about that effect. One man handles the searchlight to give the canvas engine the appearance of wind ing its way in the mountains like a real locomotive; anotner mmas tne whistle, which is only a carboy of car bonic acid gas; Gertrude Magill, the woman in the play, manipulates several contrivances to create sounds for the make-believe engine, and several others have strings to pull or bells to ring until tne engine wim ils puns aim sparks and smoke Is stopped at the station as the climax of the thriller. Number 44 is based on a real in cident in railroad life which took place in Montana. In '-court annals it is known as the Burdette case, a train dispatcher named Burdette having been sentenced to serve ten years In the penitentiary for criminal negligence which led to a wrecK in wnicn several lives were lost.

PARENTS BREAK INTO ROOM Miss Sadie Taylor, Divorcee, Relates Tale ' of Imprisonment by Ben D. Holsman, Who Held Her Captive Three Days.' Telling of being kidnaped on the street by her ex-husband,-' when her elderly father and mother broke Into her prison room, Miss Sadie Taylor, of 331 Montgomery street. Tuesday night told a story of her three days' dlsap pearance that reads' like fiction. - A delayed divorce decree, a thrown clock, and a chewed finger also figure in the narrative. The girl is how with her parents at their fesidence, where she is denied to visitors in the fear that Ben D. Holsman,- her ex-husband, or some of his friends, may' again at tempt to take her away. . "I left the house Saturday to go downtown shopping,", said Miss Taylor, who is a daughter of J. P. Taylor, own er of a chain of clothesmaklng- shops. "On Washington street, between Fourth ana' litn, i met Mr. uoisman, from whom I had been divorced but two weeks. He wanted me to go with him, but I refused, and said that I would call a policeman. He said that if I did, 'neither of us would live to hear of It.' Frightened, and fearing that he would carry out his threat, I went with him to the. Byron Hotel, Seventh and Taylor streets, where he kept me until I was rescued by my parents. Door Locked on Outside. ' ' "When he took ne to the room he locked -the door on the outside each time he went 'but, and for more than two days I stayed there, I could not get out. Efforts I mp.de to get my mother through the hotel telephone were without avail, for Holsman was in the hotel office, and stopped my getting a line outside the hotel. I resorted to a ruse Monday after noon to go to the office of Judge Mor row in the Courthouse and I would hav fled to my parents' home if I had been successful. I said that if it were true, as he contended, that the divorce was not yet signed by the Judge, I would go with him, and I said I would go and ask the Judge if it were signed. But he refused -to let me go alone, and said if I spoke at all while with him, I would be killed. So I went without -a word to the Judge's office, and found that the de cree of divorce had been granted, as my lawyer told me, but had not yet been signed. We returned to the hotel, where he locked me In for the night. "Tuesday morning I awoke to a pounding on the door. Mr. Holsman picked me up and put me in a closet in the room. There I fainted and did not come to my sense until my mother was bending over me on the bed and bathing my forehead and crying. Scene One oC Confusion. "Mr. Holsman was picking the clock from the dresser and throwing it at my father, and when Phil Ruthfield. who was with my father and mother, interfered, Holsman grasped him and bit his thumb. Then the officer came and I went home." An additional warrant, charging as sault and battery, was sworn out yes terday by Ruthfield, Mr. Taylor's friend who discovered the whereabouts of the kidnaped girl, against Holsman, who was released last night on bonds, charged with a statutory crime. Ben D. Holsman and Miss Sadie Taylor were married December 3, 1911, and it was on the second anniversary of her mafriage that her father and mother, both 50 years old, rescued her from the hotel. She separated from Holsman July 25 after Holsman had twice been arrested for beating her, and her decree of divorce was granted November 12, but not signed by the Judge until yesterday. Peruna Critics Say That There was Nothing Won derful in the Recovery of ' Mrs. Eberlein. DB HARTHAS REPLIES. Of course my narrative concerning Mrs. Eberlein, of. Pittsburg, who was rescued from apparent death by Pe-ru-na, has excited a good deal of dis cussion and comment. - One critic has offered the following solution. He says that the reason Pe-ru-na cured Mrs. Eberlein at such a stage of the disease is explained as follows: She was probably very weak. She became unable to expectorate. The consequence was huge accumulations of mucus and phlegm gathered in the lungs. On account of her weakness she was unable to expel It It - was slowly strangling her to death. Pe-ru-na stimulated her, enabled her tocough up and spit' out the accumulated phlegm. . This . explains wny sne - was cured. There was no miracle about It Nothing wonderful either. "To all of which I say. yes. of course. That may be the explanation. And yet it remains true that without the Pe-runa she would have died. It re mains true that I got there Just in time to save her life. The doctors had given .her up to die. She was gasping for breath, unconscious, cold, in short, dying. However, it is ex plained, the Pe-ru-na saved her life. Of course it did. - I do not believe In miracles myself. I believe there Is a natural explana tion for everything. Pe-ru-na helped Mrs. Eberlein to expel from her lungs toe accumulated expectoration, and thus saved her life. Good. I presume Mrs. Eberlein is Just as thankful that she is alive with one explanation as with another, and I am Just as thankful that I was able to cure her, whatever the explanation may he. FJRST PAPERS IN AMERICA Forerunners of Modern Press Had Many Women Printers. Kansas City Journal. The pioneer newspaper of the United States, - or what was . then the North American colonies, was the Boston News Letter, and was issued In li40, being printed by B...reen and pub lished by John Campbell, who was postmaster and - bookseller ' in Boston. In a quaint old article contained in a book of uncommon rarity called the "Printer's Book," published in 1850, and the valued possession of Professor J. M. Greenwood much droll knowledge concerning the various "firsts" of things In newspaperdom is contained. This forerunner of our modern press sometimes had one advertisement and often none. After 14 years, when 300 were sold, the - publisher announced that his weekly half-sheet being In sufficient to keep up with foreign news, he would issue an extra sheet each fortnight which expedient he an nounced after a year had enabled the News Letter to recover eight months of the 13 that it was behind in the news from Europe. By this means those who would "hold on" till the next January, which was then five months off, might expect to have all the ar rearages of intelligence from the old world ."needful to be known in these parts." After 16 years the publisher gives notice that copies of his paper would be "printed on a whole sheet of writing paper, one-half of which would be blank, on which letters might be written, etc. The first printing press in the colo nies and the only one in the country for 20 years, was established in Cam bridge in 1638, and the first paper mill In Boston in 1730 by the aid of the Legislature of Massachusetts. The first type foundry was built at German- town, Pa., several- years before the Rev olution, from which the Bible and other works were published in the German language. As late as 1810 there tvere but three type foundries in America. The press in Cambridge was procured through contributions of friends In Amsterdam and England by Rev. Jesse Glover, who died on his passage to the new world. In 1661 the New Testa ment and Baxter s Call translated by Eliot in Indian language were printed at the approximate cost of $6000. The whole Bible was printed in 1663. The nation speaking this language is now extinct It was not customary as early as the Revolutionary times to employ women In printing offices, yet a woman "mas ter printer" was not an uncommon thing. That women had a good deal to do in the printing game at that early date is proved by the fact that the original copy of the "Declaration of Independence" was printed by Mary Catherine Goddard. Thls notable woman was the sister of William Goddard. the first printer in Providence. R. I., who published the Maryland Journal in Baltimore in the early part of the Revolution. During a time when he was engaged irt public affairs his sister ably conducted the concerns of the printing house and every paper and every work issued by the firm appeared In her name. She kept the postoffice and continued the newspaper until her brother re sumed It in 1784. Mrs. Sarah Goddard of the same family, was a printer in Providence In 1776. She had the man agement of a newspaper and conducted it with much ability for two years. when the association of John Carter In the business gave the firm the name of Sarah Goddard & Company. A woman was the publisher of the Boston news Letter for some time when Margaret Draper, the widow ot Richard Draper, succeeded him In 1774. When the British arm evacuated Bos ton Mrs. Draper left with the army and went to England, where she received a pension from the Government. The first newspaper printed in Rhode Island was at Newport in 1732. The publisher was James Franklin. After his death Anne Franklin - continued the business several years. Other women who tooTc up the pub lishing of papers after the death of their husbands are Mrs. Mary Holt, of the New York Journal in 1793. Mrs. Nicholas Hassebotch, who took up her Husband s business alter his death in Baltimore, Mrs. Clemintlne Bird, of the Virginia Gazette, in 1772; Mrs. Eliza beth Tlmothee, of the Charleston Ga zette, and also Anne Timothee, widow of the son of - Elizabeth, who revived the Gazette after the Revolutionary war; Mary Crouch, whose husband had established a paper in opposition to the stamp act In Charleston and later re moved the press and type with her to Salem, Mass.; Penelope Russell, of the Boston Censor, and Mrs. Ebenezar Wat son, of the Hartford Courant. The Courant is still published. An argument in favor of the 'Inroads of women in the business world is evi denced in the testimony of an English author, John Dunton, who visited Bos ton in 1866. and admired Mrs. Samuel Green, who with her husband, was a printer in that city, not only as a good printer, but the best of wives", as well. One woman who "came a cropper" In her Journalistic ambitions was Mrs. H. Boyle, who published a paper In WI1 llamsburg. Va., favoring the crown in 1774, and which lived but a short time. A Mrs. John P. Zenger, whose husband handled a newspaper in New York on too liberal principles and served prison terms for his seal, took the publication In hand after his death and for years conducted it soberly and commendably Timt the newspaper business thrived under the management of women is evidenced by the number who retired with a sufficiency of "creature com forts" after a term of ownership in the days when the country was young and the press, as 'well as being powerful was extremely expensive to publisher and patron. . PARIS URGES SPEED LAWS Fifteen-Mile' Limit and Licensed Chauffeurs Proposed. PARIS. Dec, ..-Special.) M. Am brose Rendu will shortly lay before the Municipal Council of Fans a ser ies of measures intended to diminish the dangers of the streets. Several of these measures have already been can vassed, but not a few are both drastic and novel. The following are examples: "Every motor vehicle shall be pro vided with a speedometer of a type to be approved by the Prefect of Police. In case of accident the chauffeur will be held fully responsible if his speed ometer registers a speed of over lo miles an hour." "3tny chauffeur who has been held responsible for -an accident shall have his license withdrawn for a period of two years. The same penalty shall apply to the chauffeur who takes flight after any accident whatsoever. KILBAXE DEFEATS ATTELL Decision Given After One Minute of Fighting in Eighth Konnd. CLEVELAND, C Dec. 4. Spurred by the demands of his friends that he demonstrate his utmost ability, Johijny Kilbane, featherweight champion, last night decisively defeated Monte Attell, of San Francisco, brother of the - ex featherweight champion in a 12-round bout Attell was receiving such punishment that 4n the eighth round the police de manded that the bout be stopped and the referee gave Kilbane the decision after one minute of fighting in the eighth round. . " Attell never had a chance to display his ability. Kilbane started off with a' rush and knocked Attell down in the first round. Attell was groggy after that and stayed only on his nerve. Half a dozen times after that Kilbane knocked down Attell, the champion's rapid succession of blows to the face bewildering Attell. Kilbane kept following his. man around the ring, landing six blows to every one he received. Attell's blows lacked power and he could not stay the champion's rushes. Attell's face was bleeding and he could hardly stand when he was led from the ring after the fight was stopped. BILLIARD PLAY COXTEfUES Multnomah Club Handicap Tourney Well Under Way.
