PANTHER ESCAPES
 AND SCARES CITY
IN NEW YORK A WILD ANIMAL GNAWS OUT OF ITS CAGE AND CEASES cHILDREN-sENsATloN IS CREATED.

New York, July 2S.-After gnawing it's way out of wooden box in the zoologi- cal garden in Bronx Park, young pan ther, just arrived from Mexico walked up to a picnic party of women and chill dren and astonished by their panic jump ed over their heads into a tree and has since led keepers and other hunters a weary chase through Bronx Park jungle.
 The panther is a fine specimen IS inches high at the shoulders, feet long and he weighs 45 pounds. He was shipped from Mexico in a pine box, with slats. To render the possibility of it's escape more difficult the panther chained to the inside of the crate, heavy collar being fastened about his neck, to which the end of the chain was tied. When the crate arrived at the Geological park. it was deposited near the reptile house. pending the establishment of it's occupant in reg ular quarters.
 The keeper having removed one of the slats and unfastened the animals collar left the crate unguarded for a time The panther lost no time in attacking, with teeth and claws, the soft slats which stood between him and liberty. The park was well filled with sight-seers when the animal escaped. Cunningly avoiding the open walks by keeping close to the bush wood. which, in places, is very dense, he succeeded in escaping from the zoologi- cal reservation and passed into a densely wooded portion of the park. Then the escape was discovered. Six Keepers with shotguns and nets started out to capture the fugitive. with directions to shoot only If 1t appeared necessary. Through the heavy brush the little posse made it's way northward, but four hours passed before any trace was found.
 About a mile north of the museum party of thirty children out picnicking saw the panther emerge from thicket- It ran toward them and they fled.
 On one occasion he wandered up to table cloth upon which a lunceon had been spread and quickly devoured the meal.
 Sight-seers made their way from the park, but only feeting glimpses of the animal were obtained. though the hunt was kept up until night.
 The park authorities say the panther is not vicious and that 1t will probably be shot by some one living near the zoo.

Leading Paper Discusses His Reported
 Illness In Grave Terms.

Vienna, July 2s.-The Allgemeine Zeit- ing in an editorial article. on the indispo- sition of Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation. de- scribes him as possibly the most perfect type of modern American and expresses admiration al the ceaseless activity per- meating such life, which, 1t says. ''of- fers one explanation of America's enor- nous success, but sees in Mir Schwabs indisposition grave perils. The giant trusts, says the paper, which form the basis of Americas economic system, rest upon the capacity to accomplish and the working vigor of a single individual. If one of these great leaders who today govern industrial America were removed. says the Allgemeine Zeitung, this serious question would force itself not only upon America, but upon Europe.
