$5000 CAT MAKES HIT IN CLUB SHOW Miss Rambeau Buys Silvery Kit ten and Names Him Gungha Din TO RAFFLE WHITE ANGORA Gate Receipts of Feline Exhibi tion Net $200 a Day-Rib bon Prizes Awarded The second day of the fifth annual exhibition of the Los Angeles Cat club at Pantages theater yesterday showed cage after* cage of bored und tired look ing cats. The hundred and forty-five aristocrats of catdom are beginning to feel the weariness of cage life, to miss the attention of adoring mistresses and masters. The ivory balls and tinkling bells suspended from the tops of their boxes, tho rolling balls and other toys supplied for their amusement are commencing to pall and the spoiled darlings have curled down on their cushions with blinking eyes and refuse to show off any longer. Even the Teddy beur which is tho inseparable companion of Mischief, pet of Miss E. K. Harrison, has tailed to amuse and is left unnoticed In a corAer. Many cat* have found new owners, only the $1000 cats and the one $5000 feline proving poor sellers. Miss Marjorie Rambeau passed tho greater part of tho afternoon inspect ing tho cats, but for a long time was too torn between the many different beauties to decide which one to buy. At last at the far end of the hall she spied the one cat of the collection for her.' A small silvery kitten, nine months old, waiting for a new mis tress and a name, was pushing an in dulsltive nose through tho bars when Miss Hambeau saw it. "Oh, there is my kitten," she ex claimed, and would look at no other. '•I shall name him Uungha pin." With a rapturous smile from Miss Hambeau and a Contented purr from Cungha Din the pair left together like tho oldest of friends. HAUGHTIEST OF A LI, CATS "Herald," the cat named for this paper, was feeling particularly lively all day. He is a fine white Angora, presented to the club by Mrs. John D. Mercer. Tonight he will be raffled off ut 9 o'clock. The holder of the lucky number at the raiXle will become the possessor of a finely pedigreed cat for the price of 25 cents, the amount of a ticket. Among the haughtiest of all the cats there is Colonel Dunham, the famous "hotel" cat. The Colonel has spent his entire life at hotels and has but re cently moved from the King Edward hotel, which was built by his master and namesake, also Col. Dunham. Stirling Sensation, wholly unaware of the appropriateness of his name, is a beautiful, silky black cat, valued by Ills mistress, .Mm. A. Franklin, at $50001 which made quite a hit. Bob, the only Manx cat in the ex hibition, is proud in the unusual pos session of five toes and holds himself with an air which plainly indicates his knowledge of his own value. A tea room is run in connection with the show so that those who cannot tear themselves away from the kittens may have lunch on the spot. With this device and the gate receipts, the wom en declare that they are clearing from $150 to $200 a day. The exhibition will close this evening with the presentation of a sliver spoon to the cat which has the largest number of votes for being the most popular animal in the show. ■ ~\££f^^BoawDnr'GooDtsioitc'' 1 ■ r; • / .■'-*>-■-■ '' ■■' - ' " The January Delineator Is ready.

X, Glavis In an affidavit in which Me- Kenze was said to have informed Gla vis that the reason James R.

URGES REFORM IN CUSTOMS SERVICE Secretary of Treasury in Annual Report Advocates Many Changes - * WASHINGTON, Dec. B.—Currency reform: extension of tho scope of the national banking laws, in the event of no immediate general changes in the monetary'system; crvil service re tirements, a sustoms service free from "practical" politics; businesslike meth ods in tho daily transactions of the government and a general abolition of red tape wherever it clogs the wheels of the government business, are among the recommendations contained in the annual report of Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, presented to congress today. The expenses of government in the fiscal year 1912, for which this ses sion of congress is asked to appro priate, are estimated at $830,494,013.12. The esymated expenditures of the Panama canal are given as $56,920, --847.69, making a total of $687,414,860.81. The estimates, if carried out, rep resent net savings of about $13,000,000 In the executive departments, as com pared with the appropriations for the current fiscal year. Receipts for 1912, Secretary llao- Veagh estimates, will be $680,000,000, which would leave an ordinary surplus of a round $50,000,000. If the treasury .should continue to pay for the Panama canal out of the cash drawer aa at present, such a surplus would be turned to a deficit of $7,414,860.81. Secretary MacVeagh expresses the hope that the monetary question will come into congress detached from sec tional or political consideration. superfluous customs houses, mints and assay offices should be abolished, the report says. There is an over-supply of the latter, and the mints in Sun Francisco, Denver an Philadelphia are not fully employed. The Secretary also promises to send to congress a list of customs houses which he says, "are no use under the sun." CURRENCY REFORM NEED . DISCUSSED BY EXPERTS 1 PHILADELPHIA, Dec.

Senator Aldrich declared that in his opinion the reform at the present bank ing system was the most important work now before Vthe monetary conj missiori. The currency problem would adjust itself, he said, when the bank ing system was taken care of. LAST DONNER MEMBER DEAD SAN JOSE. Dec. B.—Riley IHoultrie, the last survivor of the Dormer relief party, died here last night. 1 He passed twenty years in Washington trying to get congress to pass an appropriation of award compensating him for his services and expenditure in the relief party.

ELECTIONS A TIE; BRITISH PUZZLED Both Sides Claim Principles In dorsed, but Standing Is Unchanged LONDON, Dec. B.—At the close of the polling today in the general elec tions tho standing of the parties is as follows: Government coalition:-Liberals, 147; Laborites, 28; Nationalists, 45: Inde pendent Nationalists. 6; total, 226. Opposition: Unionists, 193. The fifth day of the elections ended with tho parties still running neck and neck and with the prospect that they will come under the wire in almost pre cisely the same relative position they held at the start. Returns hart been received up to midnight from the voting for 419 mem bers, and the result Is i Unionist gain of two seats in that number over those held by that party in the lust parlia ment. This amazing result is as unprece dented in English history us it is em barrassing to politicians of all factions. Discussion now is concentrated upon the iiuestion of what the people's ver-I diet meant, what the course shall be followed under such unexpected cir cumstances. The Conservatives argue that Pre mier Asquith's bid for a sweeping in dorsement from the country has not j been obtained, therefore ho. cannot be justified in fastening upon the nation , sucli radical change! as liomc rule and i tho disarming of tlie house of lords.
