Hudson, Moses A. Stevens and Herbert Patten, as well as the clerk, Frank L. be requested to resign forthwith, and If the4r resignations are not recorded by Mayor Page within a reasonable time that they be removed in acordance with the statute law. The resolution recites that while not enough was found at the hearing last week on which to base criminal action against the overseers enough was developed to show that there was discord and lack of harmctny In the board to such an extent that the Interests suffered. Another resolution was adopted reciting that the removal of Mr.

and Mrs. Andrew Noble from the position of superintendent and matron of the city farm was not for the best Interests of the city, but was gratify the personal spite of one of the members of the boafd who had airogantly assumed the entire direction of the department's affairs.

CATS OFNEW ENGLANDI II II m.

NO. HINDENBURG, THE CAT. In a series of Famous Cats of New England, it Is eminently fitting that Von name should lead all the rest. Is undoubtedly the best-known cat In New England today, because of the Immense amount of publicity he has received during the past two years or more in the columns of the Post. He is known by name to millions, while hundreds every week recognize him on the street as the famous Post cat.

He receives mail regularly from admirers and detractors. Von Hlndenbuig is a New England in- stitvition. Were he human, would probably nearly own the Post today, through the medium of judgments rendered In libel suits. He has been slandered something awful in these columns. Unscrupulous reporters have written the most maligning and damaging articles about him, and careful editors have allowed the libels to pass.

His escutcheon has been smirehed by those whom he regards as his best friends. He has been pictured as a rowdy, and bully who is always looking for trouble and as a generally undesirable citizen. Apologies are due for them cruel words of the past. In this article we shall endeavor to tell the truth about him for a change. is a magnificent, big, yellow cat who makes the Post his headquarters.

He isn't very regular about coming home nights In the summer time, but when the weather becomes cool he can be depended upon to be somewhere about the He sleeps any place his fancy dictates. Sometimes his couch is the managing desk, sometimes the composing room attracts him, and often he peacefully slumbers close to one of the gigantic presses down cellar. He is likely to be ardund any time during the day or pight, but he has no fixed hours. He comes swaggering in, waves his tall at his friends, submits to some petting and then gracefully retires to a favorite nook and goes to sleep. He will wait a little while to pass through some of the entrances to the Post building, but not too long, as he has his own entrance, consists of climbing up to the composing room floor at the rear and tapping on a window to attract attention.

This window is three stories up frbm the street. He gets out by the least he has never been seen leaving via a window. eat in the Post building. He scorns the food that l.s offered him here. He picks restaurants.

underneath the Post editorial room, is a favorite place, while Wyman's, across Washington street In Spring lane, is another. His late dinners are often taken at Hotel, while It is suspected that the Parker House is often visited by him. Now and then he will cross Tremont street and call at the Press Club In the Houghton Dutton building. He Is always sure of a meal at any of these places, where he Is as highly regarded as he Is at the Post. He is at home in the entire district.

He loafs around shoe shining establishments a lot, where a lazy wave of the tall is his answer to scores of greetings. He roams City Hall at will, and is no more awed by his Honor the Mayor than he Is by the Post office FREE!

A Week boy. He la always sleek and well fed and, for one of his habits, a remarkably well-groomed cat. Is as Independent as the famous Declaration itself. He Is absolutely without fear. He walks majestically through the busy thoroughfares with his tall straight up.

There Is no slinking clo.se to buildings for the middle of the sidewalk for him; and when he crosses the street he does It In a calm, deliberate way that should shame frenzied jay-walkers. No dog can make retreat; nor any cat, either. He looking for trouble, but he never dodges it. If It comes his way he Is ready, is a real gentleman cat. His only weakness Is a fondness for catnip, which Is one of the failings of his kind.

He will become quite gloriously illuminated on catnip, and while under the infiuence his native dignity is lost as he tries to become kittenish. However, he soon goes to sleep when on one of these carouses, and when he awakes Is the real, old genuine, courtly Hindenburg again. He is some cat.

BEER BILL AGAIN TO BJEJSSUE Special Session Is to Take Up Pay Also Discussion of the propriety of including the 2.75 per cent beer bill in the revision and consolidation of the general laws of the State offers the only prospect of real trouble in the special session of the Legislature which will convene on Beacon Hill today. The special session, called for the purpose of passing on the report of the special committee on revision and consolidation of the general laws, will probably also pass upon a proposal for an increase in salaries for Boston school teachers and on an amendment to the State Constitution to permit towns of less than 12,000 inhabitants to adopt a limited town meeting form of government.

MAKE WOMEN ELIGIBLE The special session will undoubtedly see the passage of an emergency measure which will make women candidates for office in cities and towns eligible to hold such offices if elected. The special revision committee yesterday voted to recommend the passage of such an emergency act at the special session, leaving the broader question of eligibility to state and national offices and their liability to jury duty to be passed on at the regular session of the legislature of 1921. The expected fight over the whole liquor law situation was largely eliminated yesterday when the special committee voted to recommend the adoption of a new Chapter 138, to take tpe place of the old chapter 100, of the revised laws. Under the new chapter the Uquor laws as formerly In force were revised and amended io bring them into conformity with the 18th amendment to the federal constitution, the Volstead act and the decisions of the courts thereunder. At the same time the committee merged Into the new chapter 138 the 2.75 per cent beer act, adopted by the people at the last state election under the Inla- tlve and referendum.

Conflicts With Volstead Act The Inclusion of this law, which Is generally admitted to be Inoperative because it confilcts with the Volstead act. Is the one point which appears at the opening the special session to offer an excuse for lengthy discussion. Rome of the forces contend that the special recess committee Is Incon- s'stent In wiping out the provisions of the old liquor law which conflicts with the Volstead act and allowing the 2.75 per cent bill to stand. The point of view Is that the old liquor that section which provides for local option on the sale of Intoxicating In direct conflict with the 18th amendment Itself; while the 2.75 per cent beer bill is not in Itself directly in conflict with the federal although it Is In conflict with a federal statute, which may at some time be amended by act of Congress, so that the 2.75 beer hill would then become operative and the provisions of the new chapter 138 would then apply with reference to all beverages containing between of one per cent and 2.75 per cent of alcohol. Make Fight in January and on the recess committee yesterday agreed to the new chapter on liquor law and Orville S.

Poland, attorney for the Anti- Saloon League last night said that on all the Information at hand up to that time he could see no reason for making a fight over the matter at the special session. He announced, however, that at the regular session in January, the prohibition will make a strenuous effort to repeal the 2.75 act. The action of the in agreeing to the amendment of the law to strike out the provision for an annual vote on question of granting liquor licenses In cities and towns does not, however, entirely dispose of the local option feature, for the 2.75 per cent beer bill Itself calls for a vote annually on the question: "Shall licenses be granted for tha sale of certain non-lntoxicatlng beverages in this city (or Doth on the Ballot As a matter of fact, at the city elections to be held this month In Massachusetts, two with relation to the licenses for the sale of Intoxicating liqpors and that contained in the 2,75 be on the ballot. In view of the progress they believe they have made towards removing a fight on the liquor law, although they admit there is still a strong possibility that a contest may be precipitated, leaders in the Legislature look for a closing up of the work of the special session in two weeks. There are 282 chapters iirthe general laws as revised and consolidated by the special committee.

It is proposed that a certain number of these chapters will be sent direct to the Senate and the balance to the House at the opening session today and that each branch will be able to get at work immediately upon Its consideration of them. Every chapter will have to go through both branches, of course, and then the whole of them will be assembled and enacted as one bill.
