mission from the Building Department to

cnntiscation of property without compen-
sation

tention. He holds that it was clearly un-
constitutional for the Legislature to pro-
vide benefits, without compensation, for the

 Washington, Sept 17.-Miss Grace Johnson of Boston has just been re- instated as an employe of the govern menf printing office, after having join ed the.

THEATER MONKEYS LOOSE

Two of Them Lombard Windows in
 Cincinnati and Have Lots of Fun.
 Cincinnati, Sept 17-Pedestrians near Robinson's opera house narrowly escaped a shower of broken tiles thrown by two mischievous monkeys from the top of the theater yesterday. The monkeys are a part of a monkey, dog and pony exhibit now showing there. They escaped from their cages and, climbing the fire escape, found loose materials on the roof left by workmen recently.
 A great crowd from the city hall and vicinity soon assembled on the other side of the street, but as soon as any one attempted to get under the theater shed the monkeys began to defend their castle One of them, known as Mrs Murphy. threw a piece of tiling through a ,sky1ight in the adjoining residence of Dr J. A. Haerr. They then began to lombard pr Haerr's windows and put a brick through the skvIight of the playhouse.
 The escape of the monkeys was first reported by Dr Haerr. who rushed breathlessly to the theater office and said:
 For heavens S sake come and call OH your monkeys. They got into my house and ravaged the contents of my sisters workbasket and hurled a flow erpot through the skylight of my officeo
 The monkeys were finally captured with difficulty after being chased over the theater roof and the roofs of sev- eral adjoining houses while a great crowd on the street gave vent to their merriment. The monkeys. all during these antics seemed to enjoy them as much as the crowd of spectators on the street .sa
 Dr Haerr was inclined to laugh about it after + was all over. and took i+ as joke. The show people imme- diately made full payment for all losses caused by the little runaways.
