SCIENCE TO DECIDE.
Wolf Under Examination to Determine
Whether It Had Hydrophobia,

The young gray wolf whose escape from
the Zoo last October caused considerable
CONSERVATION among the residents Of Cleve-
land Park and vicinity, was killed recently
and the remains Of the little creature have
been submitted to the investigation Of the
scientists at the bureau of animal industry
in order that 1t may be determined whether
1t was good or bad wolf. At the time
Of Its escape from the animal quarters, the
wolf was only few months old, and, ac-
cording to the keepers at the Zoo, 1t was q
bashful and retiring little animal. appar-
emily innocent Of wrong-doing; but under
the magnifying process Of excited magma
tion Influenced doubtless by thrilling stories
Of the ravages Of hungry packs in the
northwest, the escaped animal became a
terrible monster. wandering through the
peaceful lanes and byways Of the locality
seeking whom 1t might devOur. The dread
of the animal was increased when It was
heard that two little colored children named
Jackson had been bitten by an animal
AS coincidence to the escape Of the wolf
Admiral Dewey's scotch collie, Prince, dis
appeared from his kennel, and on the same
day the Jackson children were bitten Prince
made an unwise attack on a colored farm
hand about one mile distant from the jack
son home, when his earthly career was end
ed by means Of a load Of buckshot. From
this circumstance it was generally thought
that the dog was guilty of the attacks on
the children, but still some persons were
inclined to ascribe the crime to the wolf.
The wolf was captured shortly after its
escape. It had been shot in the spine. It
was carefully nursed back to health at the
Zoo and became entirely well, excepting
that a portion Of its body was paralyzed
because Of the wound and 1t was never
afterward the risky little creature it had
been before its journey out into the world,
evidently never recovering from the stigma
cast upon 1t by the residents Of the locality
regarding its alleged participation in the
mysterious assaults.
By order Of DIR. Frank Baker superinten-
dent of the Zoo, the clouded life Of the wolf
was ended last Wednesday night. 1t had
been suggested at the time of the escape
that it was afflicted with rabies. and the
scientists at the bureau Of animal industry
are examining the remains to determine
whether or not such is the case. The result
of the investigation has not been announced.
DR.. Baker. in speaking Of the matter to
a reporter for The Star today. said: There
is not the slightest proba bility that the wolf
was afflicted with rabies. but the animal
was killed and it's body was submitted to in
vestigation as a matter Of precaution. so
that we may be absolutely certain about 1t.
/ am sure the wolf did not have hydro
phobia. AS to the matter of the attack on
the Jackson children, they were bitten about
$50 o'clock in the morning, and the wolf
was in the enclosure of the Zoo until after
II O'clock so the animal could not have
been the cause Of the attack on the chill
dren."'

WHAT FIGURES SHOW
STATEMENT REGARDING DECEM-
BER RECEIPTS OF ANTHRACITE.
One-Half Believed to Be From Phila-
delphia and Reading Company
Prevailing Prices.

From an authoritative source 1t was
learned today that fully one-haif Of the an
thracite coal shipped to Washington over
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad during
December was from the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company. Fully
one-half Of the shipments that are received
daily are from the Philadelphia and Read
ing Company and the balance from the So
called Independent operators.
A reasonable approximate OF the relative
amount Of anthracite coal from the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's mines and
from Independent operators brought to this
city by the Pennsylvania railroad cannot
be given. but 1t is believed that fully one
third. II not one-half. is from the Penn
sylvania company's mines.
A peculiar phase Gf the coal famine Is
that one is practically unable to find any
Of the anthracite coal that Is shipped to
Washington by the Philadelphia and Read
Ing Coal and Iron Company and the min
ing companies controlled by the Pennsyi-
vania railroad. the retail price of which
coal Is restricted by agreement to $7.25 and
$3.50 a ton. respectively.
Inquiries of local dealers invariably
bring the reply that the only. hard coal
they have for sale is that purchased from
the Independent dealers, the minimum
price of which is SIP a ton.
