CAT OBJECTED TO
LEAVING ITS HOME
Whether cats are averse to crossing
water or whether they have have an
aversion to eavtng neighborhoods in
which they make ffieir homes, and the
names of which may sound particular
ly attractive to them, is a question
which is puzzling Joseph Chappelle, a
driver for one of the ocal express
companies.
Yesterday afternoon Chappetle was
»»lied upon to convey a valuable
Maltese cat frofli a residence in Mous'
ley's Row, beyond the Brandywine to
the depot, where it was to be shipped
by express to a point in Colorado. Tho
Maltese was confined in a frail box
and Chfippelle remarked to the 'ship
per that he did not believe thwt the
"cage" was strong enough to hold the
feline.
He was assured, however, that the
cat was gentle and would not attempt
to escape. While crossing Eleventh
street bridge the cat, with a deperate
effort, forced apart tho strips that
were holding it a prisoner and sprang
from the wagon. Chapelle chased the
animal for several blocks but was un
able to overtake It. Ho returned to
the house of the shipper and notified
her of the cat's escape.

NEW YORK, July 25.—From all
parts of the country President Roose
velt has during the last few days re
ceived postal cards urging him to re
consider his declaration of 1904 and
accept another nomination for the
Presidency. They are rather elabor
ately printed, containing a picture of
the White House, under which is the
inscription "Uncle 8am Will Renew
Lease" and bearing the printed para
graph;—
"I desire to express my entire satis
faction with your administration as
President of 'our country.' and. believ
ing that the groat works inaugurated
during that time would best be com
pleted were you again President. I
would urge you to reconsider your
declaration of 1904 and accept another
nomination."
Printed in Philadelphia, the cards
have come from many States, and the
growing flood of them indicates that
some one has started a vigorous cam
paign to induce the President to
change his mind.

Friction Between Massachu

Coming State Convention
By THE JOURNAL'S Special Wire.
BOSTON, July, 25—There Is appar
ently real friction between Senator
Crane and the administration at
Washington represented In New Eng
land by the President's personal
friend. Senator Lodge. Two recent
events add color to this assertion.
One is the announcement that Sen
ator Crane will have charge of the
Knox presidential boom In New Eng
land. the other -is the Senator's re
fusal to accept the chairmanship of
the committee on resolutions which
will draft the platform for the com
ing Republican Slate convention.
Crane's decision to so far as possible
hold aloof from the convention is ex
plained by the fact that it is dominat
ed by Lodge, who will drive it in
whichever direction ho wishes to serve
the ends of tho presidential national
candidate. It Is understood here that
Senator Crane Is opposed not only to
the candidacy of Secretary Taft, but
of Governor, Hughes of New York.

them to keep up the tight "for their
