CATS SHOW OFF IN LUXUHIQUSBQUDDIR On Cushions of Silks and Satin, Embanked With Roses, Fe lines Are Exhibited. STRAY ONE PURRS IN STRAW Exposition at Meier & Frank Store Greatest In History of Oregon Club Judging of 110 Con testants Pnt Tnder Way. From early morning until late last night the fifth floor of the Meier 4 Frank store was crowded with the throngs who had come to view the third annual show staged by the Ore gon Cat Club. In every respect It was a record one, not only from the numerical strength of the entries which were far In ex cess of previous years, but also from the quality of the animals entered, the number -of handsome cups and other prizes, and the Interest taken In the show by the public. Every conceivable ftlnd of cat, from the aristocratic Persian down to the humblest stray tabby had a clean white cage, stuffed with fresh straw, and there were 170 representatives of their race gathered together, for in addition to those listed on the programme SO cats came in yesterday morning before the show opened. Under the rating of the American Cat Association the show will rank as a two-point one. four olnts being t'.ie highest, awarded to those where over 200 cats are In evi dence. Sir Ko Ko Notable. Among the most notable long-haired cats shown were Sir Ko Ko, a beauti ful blue: Flying Fox, a noted champion sliver, and two blacks. Donna and Ony. of Avonlea. The first Us owned by Mrs. O. F. H'lllel. Flying Fox of course is the representative of the famous stud of that name owned by Mrs. Paul Janney. of Medford. last year's Judge, while the Avonlea cats are owned by Mrs. F. D. Clark. Another promising kitten Is Geneva Cream Puff, who honored her mother. Geneva Princess, by carrying off all three firsts for cream female cats. Though not Judged as yet Mrs. C. M. Le Valley's silver cats are sure to carry off honors, for there Is real qual ity about them. Short-haired and the long and short neuters and all the spe cials will be Judged today. Efficient Judge la Charse. Two striking features of the show are the efriclent Judging of Mrs. Elbert U Besse. secretary of the National body, and the decoration of many of the pens or cages. Though not starting In until 1 o'clock Mrs. Besse got through a won derful amount of Judging in a remark ably short space of time, and yet there was no question of her thoroughness. It was simply a case of real knowl edge of all the points of the animal, on which she Is one of the foremost Judges it not the best Judge In the country. One kitten brought up which had been placed In the long-haired class provided a striking example. One sweep of the hand against the fur and she said, "Take that cat away. It Is only half Persian." Yet to the ordinary ob server and to many of the local cat experts it would have been Impossible to tell that it was not a pure long haired kitten. Luxurious Boudoirs Shown. Mrs. Besse said yesterday that local fanciers had made wonderful progress considering the short time the club had been In existence. In contradistinction to most Eastern shows greater Interest was shown In short-haired cats, while in numerous cases they had been en tered wrongly through insufficient knowledge of colors. There were no outstanding "smokes." while the silvers were not well represented except for one cat. which would have been re markable but for a blemish. The decorations of many of the pens were wonderful. One cat had a boudoir of pale blue satin and silk, with couch, pillow and basins all of the same color; another. Bob De Lacy, a stray cat which had found a luxurious home, re clined at ease in a bower of yellow roses and a black and yellow basket while a lovely tawny animal was seated on an O. A. C. pillow which formed an excellent background. Pink, purple and gold and black velvet formed many of the decoration color schemes, Nina Keata. a short-haired tabby with seven V it tens, owned by Mrs. H. L. Clark, attracted much, attention. One cat. Beauty Mittens, a double pawed animal, had boxing gloves in Ms cage, with a challenge to any other Tom, some gold fish Bwlmmlng about unmolested, and a photograph of him self, while In another cage Jack John son stalked about disdainfully refusing the challenge hurled at him.

Response of the people of Portland to the call of the Associated Charities for assistance In handling the cases of destitution that arose during the recent snowstorm were generous, according to Secretary Manning. Pood fuel, clothlntr and money were sent in from a variety of sources, be sides individual assistance from many persons in handling emergency cases of need that arose in several places. "We have been sending out messen gers to bring In the donations of clothing, for days," said Mr. Manning. "Our plea for shoes for distribution has been answered well and we have been able to fit out many children In HtttiitA famllffis who would have suf fered severely otherwise.

GIRL'S LEGS STRAIGHTENED Good Samaritan Patient Undergoes Operation for Deformity. .For the first time In many months, Leila, the dusky maid who has capti vated all visitors to the Good Samari tan Hospital. Is able to walk, though still wearing a plaster cast In a few days that will be removed, and then Leila will find she has a perfectly stralght pair of legs, in j-lace of the crooked and twisted ones she had when she entered the hospital. Her recovery has been remarkable and she has shown rare patience. First her legs were broken below the knee, and placed In casts. Then they were broken above the knefe and the same treatment undergone. This time, however, one of the legs did not sef as It should nave done. and another break was necessary. But the day after the operation, Leila was Just as unconcerned as ever, sitting In her bed or chair, always happy, always contented and always precocious and captivating. And yesterday every one In the hos pltal was astonished to see a real, live ebony Leila walking about, gingerly, of, course, but reallywalklng. Leila herself was so surprised she didn't know what to do. except shriek out, time after time "watch me walking. watch me, do.' 1 Even- druggist in Portland should have ' Plummer s Cough Stop."

York Refused to Leave Oregon Penitentiary and Authorities Cannot Force Him Out. "I know my legal rights and I ab solutely refuse ,to accept that pardon." was the statement made "Wednesday afternoon by T. E. York at the Oregon p-nitentiarv. when the warden read him a pardon granted by Governor West, which was conamoneu ma be turned over to the Federal authori ties, by whom he was to be taken to Chicago to answer a charge of per jury in connection with the issuance ot some passports. The prisoner had been convicted of swindling a Klamath Falls bank and had been sentenced to serve from two to 20 years in the pen itentiary. , The two years had expired and, as the Chicago authorities were anxious to get possession of the man. United States Marshal Scott took the matter up with Governor West and the condi tional pardon was issued. Deputy United States Marshal Fuller went to Salem after the man and when he was brought out into the warden's otrice and the pardon read to him, he posi tively refused to accept it, also refus ing to leave the penitentiary unless fcrclWy thrown out. This was a precedent for the officials, and beins unable to find any authority to forcibly make the man. accept pardon against his will, he was locked un in his cell again and Deputy Mar shal Fuller returned without his pris oner. York refused to talk to either the warden cr Deputy Marshal Fuller as to the rrounds for his refusal, except to say tnat the Klamath County offi cials had made him promises, when be pleaded guuty mere, iubi. iucj kept, and his refusal to accept the par don was the result of legal advice. Having been pardoned, even condi tionally, he cannot be carried on the books of The penitentiary as a prisoner and can only be considered as a guest until such time as he consents to go to Chicago, and this may continue indefi nitely, without reference to the length of his original sentence.
