New York, April 1?The Ken tucky legislator who proposed that j ; moonshiners be compelled by law ; to equip their stills with whistles ; that could be heard for two miles has no monopoly of the bnusual in : ' proposed legislation for the solons .'who sit in legislative haHs of state j capitols ar<. prone tft sarcasm., itony ; and jokes. ?5 * * ' - Some odd bills have cropped up in the state legislative hall's now. ' drawing to a close. For example there is the bill in- j ? troduced in the New York state : assembly making hypocrisy a mis demeanor and defining it as "the i ? ' * I ; act of a person who for pay. uiit I or other valuable thing publicly j advocates and supports any legis lative measure restraining free ex ercise of personal liberty or the act of any person who solicits funds for such support." The measure is aimed at ''re form" organization workers. The Massachusetts legislature ! had before it in this year's session a bill making church-going com . pulsory for every resident ,of the state who was physically or men tally capable of attending church. Another measure proposed in Massachusetts provided that every : candidiate for public office must be examined by a justice of the su perior court to determine whether he is qualified to hold olfioe to j which he aspires. A bill in the Massachusetts Iegis '. laturc authorized the appointment ?of a special legislative committee j to make an official Fourth of .July; ? visit to the Irish free Slate at the] expense of its members. Sonn- of the unusual legislation proposed is obviously aimed at what the authors regard a sinjustices. Housewives who do no! share in joint control of the family in come found a champion in .Mis. [ Margaret Laird, of Newark, X. .1.. j who introduced a bill in tin New Jersey legislature enabling tnarri d .women to control the wages they earn in their own homes.

Cato Receives Wound in Leg From Pistol in Hands of Negro When Near ing Home Saturday I Night Mr. K Cato. who lives j in oui side of ih" city limits on Wood lawn Avenue, was shot in his leg by ; an unidentified negro man as he ? was returning to his home on Sat urday night shortly before eleven I o'clock. The wound which Mr. ? Cato received proved fortunately to have been a flesh wound in the left leg mar the high, and although it is a painful wound it is not very [serious. Mr. Cato is reported as doing very nicely and a speedy re covery is hoped for. According ;<> the statement made by Mr. Cato, tlie negro held him up to roh him. Mr. Cato was re turning to his home from his work I on Saturday night and had ridden his bicycle down Broad streel as I far as Woodlawn avenue and had gotten ?off of his wheel at this cor ner on account of the roughness ! of the street. He said that he had I noticed tin- shadow of a man on :t wheel when he was under the last electric light bin" thai he had paid j no attention to the man. The ne gro followed to his corner and had I gotten off of the bicycle that he j was riding also at the same corner ; but was on the opposite side of the street. The negro then called to Mr. Curt) inquiring where someone i lived. This question led t others and the negro while engaging Mr. Cato in conversation was jn the .meantime coming across the street I to the side upon which Mr. Cato was on. Mr. Cato slated that they had walked for a short time togeth er, both pushing their bicycles, and that then the negro pushed his bi cycle into the bicycle of Mr. Ca to's. The ngro repeated this pro cedure again and this time it seems that both Mr. Cato and the negro dropped their wheels. The negro then grabbed Mr. Cato with one hand and threw his pistol in Mr. Cato's face with the other, at the same limeJfjfeliing Mr. Cato to put his hands up and ?"Iiis money or his life." As quickly as possihle Mr. Cato knocked the hand down which was holding the pistol, but the pistol was a.t this instant dis charged wounding Mr. Cato. The negro then ran, leaving the bicycle, and managed to make his escape. Two of the sons of Mr. Cato heard the shot ir^d and the call of Mr. Cato and v ere quickly to his aid. tie was taken to the hospital im mediately and his wound cared for. Mr. Cato was removed to his home again on Sunday. HOTEL IN AIKEN IS DAMAGED Fire Destroys One Wing of Highland Park Aiken.
