TRIES TO THROW GIRL
UNDER ELEPHANTS FEET
Man Thought to Be Insane Creates
Sensation at Menagerie in
Central Park

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Visitors fed
in terror from the elephant house in
the menagerie in Central Park this
afternoon. when a man named Ely, be-
heyed to be insane. battled with six
policemen and the keepers, who over
powered him after he had made an
attempt apparently to hurl little girl
under the feet of one of the pachy-
derms.
He attracted attention early IN the
afternoon when he visited the elephant
house and stood in front OF the stalls,
talking in loud tones. His remarks
were apparently addressed to the ami
mails and he continued to talk in
cOherently, when a small group gath
cred about him. Turning his atten-
ton from the animals to the visitors,
Ely frightened a little girl by trying
to hurl her under the feet of one of
the elephants. The fence in front Of
the stalls prevented him from carry
ing out his purpose.

Chicagoan Says California
Product Could Be Con-

FACTORY NAY BE BUILT
Inquirer at the Fair Tests
the Fiber and Finds 1t
Has the Desired Qualities
BY PAUL EDWARDS.

CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD
ING, ST. LOUIS. Nov. "a Chicago
manufacturer has made a discovery
that may give market value to the
tules that cover many thousand acres
of unreclaimable land from the southern
end of San Joaquin to the southern
border of Sutter County in California
He has found that the tule fiber will
make good quality of rope and twine
and that paper of commercial value
may be manufactured from its pulp.
He may establish a factory as an ex-
pertinent.
The manufacturer in question entered
the San Joaquin County pavilion in
the Palace of Agriculture last July and
asked Colvin Brown, who is in charge
of the exhibit, if he could tell him
something of the nature of the tule
that he had heard so much about as
growing along the rivers in California
He wanted to know especially whether
it had any of the qualities of the reed
from which the Egyptian papyrus was
made.
Brown described the tule as best he
could and then remembered that some
of the bottles holding exhibit wine
were incased in tule Jackets He hand
ed one of these to the Chicago man.
his request Brown sent for some Of the
full length tule. 1t was forwarded by
Fred West of Stockton to the manu-
facturer.
A few days ago the Chicago man
reappeared at the San joaquin booth.
carrying a quantity of soft fiber 1t
was the tules after going through the
decorticating process. The fiber looked
like a dark grade of fax.
There's many a fortune in these
tules If you have enough of them" he
said. Il can make rope and twine
good enough for most any purpose
from them at cost below what manu-
facturers of such grades of goods now
pay for their raw material. In the
same factory, from these tules could be
made common grades of mating. wood
pulp paper of the best quality and
covers for wine bottles. The only
question is, have you enough of the
tules?"
Brown eased the inquirer's appre-
tensions about the supply by assuring
him that taking out all the large
acreage that would be reclaimed there
would still remain something like a
million acres of rich tule producing
land yielding crop every spring.
