Outlaw Climlbedi Own Tail, Bit "tBenefactor," Committed Sui c-ide, Judge Is Informed. NEW YORK, Sept. 2. (Special.) Michael Zistorei was sentenced In Morrisania police court to serve two days in the workhouse for throwing Minnie out of a fifth-story window of an apartment house of which he is superintendent. Minnie was a cat and! the episode closed her career. Zistonl went to prison cheerfully, although he was of the opinion pri vately that honors should have been conferred upon him instead. In any event, he was rid of Minnie, and he would have gone to the workhouse with a light heart at any time since her advent to accomplish that result. Nevertheless, he told Magistrate Marsh earnestly he had not sought Minnie's life. In his opinion Minnie committed suicide. There was prac tically no other desperate deed pos sible to an unscrupulous cat that Minnie had left undone, he said, and Minnie was thorough; she would not have it said that what a cat could d'o she had left undone. Tenants had complained; a lot about Minnie, whose owner, Mrs. Julia Bau ' ernfriun, also lived in the house, Zis toni said, and he was forever chasing Minnie out of somebody's apartment or out of his own quarters. The day that Minnie met her fate Zistoni had chased her to the roof, and1 then Minnie had clambored down to the fifth floor and into the apart ment of a tenant who did not like cats and disliked Minnie above all -other cats. v Zistoni followed- Minnie attacked him, he said, exhibiting scratches on his hands and face, and he seized her by the tail. He did not do this out of cruelty, he said, nor with the purpose of injuring Minnie. He merely though that it might calm her to be suspended by the tail in such a manner that she could do no harm, and when Minnie had been suf ficiently soothed Zistoni intended to look up the proper municipal author itv and take Minnie to him. Minnie, however, climbed up her own tail, Zistoni averred, jumped on his back and thence to the window sill. Fearing she contemplated self destruction, s&id Zistoni, he tried to seize her again for the purpose of calming her, but Minnie jumped1 off into space. Two witnesses who saw Minnie navigating space testified that she did not look like a cat that was go ing somewhere voluntarily, but like a cat that had been sent. third garage would be built safely. Both Anderson and Arnett came in for a censuring by members of the council, and Commissioner Bigeiow urged that a warrant be sworn out for Arnett on grounds of false repre sentation, the council voting to refer the matter to City Attorney Grant for further investigation. , WALTER LYNN CLEARED Building' Inspector Exonerated of Violating- Regulations. Walter G. Lynn, inspector in the city bureau of buildings, who was brought before the city council yes terday on a charge that he had "fixed things- so that A. N.

Arnett, con tractor who was building the garage, declared that Lynn had granted the permit to do the work with the un derstanding that the third building was to be utilized as a repair shop. ' Anderson said that he had given Arnett the job with the understanding that Arnett could "fix it" so that the HUBBY HELP IMPOSSIBLE Curt, Rongh, Surly, Sforose, Sullen, Gloomy, Wife Avers.

The Western Pine Manufacturers' association In a second public notice attacks the proposed duty on shingles carried in the Fordney bill. The new statement says: "The American shingle congress has voted down a resolution request ing a tariff on imports of shingles. The resolution was predicated upon the erroneous assumption that Can ada maintained a tariff against United States shingles, which is not a fact. The great majority of shingle manufacturers are requesting that there be no tariff provision in the Fordney bill, which now pro vides a duty of SO cents a 1000 on shingles. "It is generally recognized that wasteful and unscientific methods of marketing and manufacturing, to gether with the increased competi tion of patent roofings, rather thaJi foreign cedar shingles, are entirely, responsible for the decreased produc tion of shingles In Washington and Oregon. "Because both labor costs and living costs are higher in Canada than in the United States, and the relative costs of production are higher in Canada, opponents of a duty on shingles fed that there is no sound reason why the request for a tariff should be granted."
