Old Dunk" the huge elephant at
the Washington zoo, is to be freed
from the chains that have bound him

luxury Of bath whenever he feels
like taking one.
Congress generously appropriated
$4,000 for the relief Of the big fell

bill reads:
For the construction Of an elephant

accessories, $4,000"
But for the women Of the District

would have secured new quarters. For
years they have protested against his

and no larger. There Is no pool Of

the frailness Of the building it has
been necessary to keep him tied to a

would be an easy matter for him to
butt down the sides with his ponder

Women visiting the zoo have inva-

MORE PICKETS .ENJ0lNED
WONG CHoNG GETS AN ORDER
4 Doubtful Method of Keeping
Up Boycott Is Sug-
49, gested..

Wong Chong's Chinese restaurant at
213 Nicollet avenue, known as the oregon
restaurant is to be protected from inter-
ference by the Minneapolis Cooks Benev-
client and Protective association and their
pickets. Judge Harrison this morning
signed temporary injunction to restrain
the members OF the union from lnterIer-.
ing with Wong Chong's business. 1t is
also ordered that they show cause why
the injunction should not be made per-
manent.
Way to Keep Up Boycott. I.
The members of the cooks association
believe they will still be able to picket the
restaurants and thereby render effective
their boycott. They say the injunctions
are aimed solely at the cooks union, but
that there is nothing to prevent pickets
from the carpenters union or any other
organization from distributing boycott
cards in front of the eating houses. The
cooks say they will be careful not to
solicit the aid Of any other union which
might thus act in the capacity OF en-
sployes. Reinforcements will be purely
voluntary. The Trades and Labor assem-
bly, will take no part in the program, as
it might be enjoined as a body. Under
the proposed plan, it is said, the only
redress of the restaurant proprietors
would be- to secure injunctions against
every union.
.;& Lawyers Views
Several lawyers expressed the belief
that it would be a decidedly ticklish prop
sition for any other union to at
tempt,to boycott the Chinese restaurants
in the same fashion. Having issued ar
! injunction against any such act,' said one
attorney, neither the United States no.
district court judges would tolerate an!
such attempt to dodge their ruling. 1t il
probable that some one would be jailet
if such course we're followed" Harlan
P. Roberts, attorney for the proprietor
of the restaurants, said:
"It will be easy enough, to slap on an
other injunction whenever it is neces
sary, but don't believe the courts will
\ allow any one to tamper with justice tina
way and it wouldfin all probability reac
upon the cooks union in any event"

THE WHEAT WE EAT
Varied Little in 10 Years According
to L. G. Powers.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION 6.25 Blu.
The Figure Reached q by Several
Methods, Each Affording
Check on Others.

Yin the current issue of the Cincinnati
Price Current, Rev. L. G. Powers of Min
neapolis, now chief agricultural statistt-
clan for the census bureau, has an article
dealing with the per capita consumption
of wheat in the United States. The aver
age annual consumption of wheat by the
American people is placed at 5.25 blu per
capita. In this article Mr.. Powers says:
I'm 1890 the division of manufactures
reported the production Of 80,948,797 bar
rels Of wheat -four. During the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1890, there were ex-.
ported 1921, I'll barrels, or Is per cent.
The division Of manufacturers reported
that in the census year 1856, 749,798 bushels
of wheat were converted into flour. De-
Quoting from this Is per cent, as the
amount exported as flour, we have as
the quantity Of wheat consumed by the
people in the year ending June l, 1881,
1927, 1887 900 bushels, which was 5.23 bush
els per capita The total production OF
flour reported by the mills, as shown by
the preliminary tabulation Of the division
of manufactures for the twelfth census,
was TO-, 524 ,094 barrels. There were ex-
ported in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1900, 1S,699,194 barrels, which is 10 per
cent Of the product reported by the mills
as ground. The amount ground, 4s8,9l4,-
004 bushels of wheat, less Is per cent
exported, gives substantially 400,910,000
bushels as the quantity for home con-
sumption. This. is the equivalent Of $50
bushels per capita, or the same substan-
TALLY as. is indicated by the report OF
manufactures Of ten years before.
"The figures for 1880 are not as perfect
as those for the last TWO censuses, but
they Indicate probable consumption OF
wheat by the people of the United States
at that time of SIS bushels per annum.
can analysis Of the figures of the .dl-
vision Of agrculture of the census, CIV
! ing the production in 1899 as Cos, 534 rs.
bushels, will reach the same result as
that given above for that of manufac.
| lures, or substantially 5.25 bushels pei
capita consumption.
Ten years ago, when the analysis O.
| the figures Of wheat production, as glve1
| by the division of agriculture, and O
wheat ground, as given by the division O
manufactures, showed more wheat groun(
than was possible for the wheat reported
by the other division as grown, the trade
| generally assumed that there was SOM
error in the figures Of the division
manufactures; but with the report of tn
two divisions of the twelfth census agree
| ing with that average consumption O
! wheat, it seems to me that the statistic
of 1890 of the division of manufacture
/ in the census, so far as they differ fror
those Of the division Of agriculture
that time, must be accepted, and that W
can safely assume that now, as ten year
ago, the average consumption OF Whea
i by the American people is 5.25 bushel
per CAPITA.

SOUGHT PLACE.
Lieut.. c. r. Elliot Has Army Com
mission Fast Now.
MANY OBSTACLES OVERCOME
Personal Antagonism the Chief-The
Story of Winning
Fight.

Lieutenant c. R. Elliott of Minneapolis,
brother of Judge c. B. Elliott of the dis
3trict court, whose final appointment was
announced yesterday in T b e Jour
n al, has had a. hard road to travel to
his commission in the regular army. The
difhcultles were such as would have dis
couraged any one of less tenacity of puT
pose than the lieutenant and his success
speaks we'll for his fighting blood. For
four long years he has persevered against
departmental red tape and the personal
antagonism of officers high in command.
His own refusal to surrender and the aid
of loyal friends in civil and legislative
ranks enabled him to win out.
Lieutenant Elliott entered the regular
army as a private soldier of the Third
cavalry in 1895. He was promoted to a
sergeancy and remained in that capacity
until the outbreak of the Spanish war. In
the regular army he belonged to the
famous crack cavalry squad which at
tracted such wide attention by its superb
drill at Madison Square Garden.
When war was declared with Spain he
joined the Fifteenth Minnesota volun-
teers as second lieutenant, and served
with that regiment on General Young's
staff until it was mustered out. In July,
1898, he was named for lieutenant in the
regular army in place of Lieutenant Rice,
who declined to take the examination.
While waiting for this examination, Ell
liott passed the age limit and was there
fore considered ineligible. He then &C
copied an appointment in the Thirty fifth
United States volunteers, and served two
years in the Philippines.
| On his return last fall he was named by
Secretary Root of the war department Tor
commissions. The recommendation

&. $. a. VETS GREET MIR. TORRANCE
of the Grand Army of the
Republic.

Atlanta papers which arrived this morn
ing contain glowing descriptions of the
enthusiastic reception of Judge Ell Tor
rance of Minneapolis, commander of the
Grand Army CT the Republic, in the south.
In Atlanta, union and confederate VET
Grams fairly outdid themselves Wednes-g
day morning Judge and Mrs. Torrance
were driven about the city, accompanied
by Judge Calhoun, president Of the Con
federate Veterans Home, and by other
prominent citizens. One of the most in
teresting places visited was the home,
filled with disabled confederate veterans.
Mrs Torrance accompanied reception
committee of women to the federal prison.
Judge Torrance reviewed the fourteenth
annual session Of the Georgia department,
G. A. r., and installed the officers. In the
evening Judge and Mrs. Torrance were
the guests Of honor at reception at the
Kimball hotel, in which confederate vet
Grams, sons of veterans and Daughters Of
the Confederacy participated.
Writing to S. Fl. fowler, his adjutant
general, Judge Torrance says particular
| significance has been given to the trip be-
cause Mrs. Torrance is the first wife of a
commando r-in-chief Of the grand army to
| visit the south with her husband. He
finds that many southern women are de-
voted members of the Daughters of the
| American Revolution. AS Mrs. Torrance
occupies a prominent position in that or
der in Minnesota, she has been much
sought after by southern women.
The visitors left Atlanta Wednesday for
Montgomery, where Judge Torrance at
tended another encampnent. He was to
visit New Orleans and Beaumont, Texas,
to attend other encampments before his
return about April 3d.
AT Montgomery they were met by Col.
Wickersham and comrades, including
Lieutenant Smith, of the First Alabama
cavalry, who knew Mortimer Flint, OF

HEINRICH IN THE RACE
YIELDS TO FRIENDS PRESSURE
He Consents to Go After the Demo-
cratic Nomination for
Mayor.

Julius j.. Heinrich has publicly avowed
his intention to go after the democratic
nomination for mayor. A few weeks ago
he declared emphatically that he would
not be candidate. His friends moved
on him in force and got promise of re-
consideration. In a letter to Robert
Reed, chairman of the committee that
waited upon him, Mr.. Heinrich now de-
clares himself to be in the race, and his
friends in the third ward and other sec
ticns Of the city, will begin Immediately
to organize in his behalf. The only dec
laration of principles thus far is con-
tanned in the following from his letter:
"And If nominated will make an ag-
gressive fight for the election to the end
that the entire democratic ticket may be
victorious and the affairs Of the city ad-
