GIFT OF PRESIDENT
DELAY IN DELIVERY OF ANIMALS
LAT THE zoo.
Steps Taken to Have Them Forwarded
Frpm New York at
eag4 Once Once. s,,..

The. wild animals which w. H Ellis
brought to this country as gift to Presi-
dent Roosevelt from King Menelik Of Abys-
sI.ia and which the President, on account
of the existence of the law forbidding him
to receive such gifts, has directed to be
sent to the National Geological Park in the
District of Columbia, have not arrived
here. in spite of the fact that they have
been In this country since the 9th Of this
month.
SO long have they been in getting here
that the local authorities have begun to
wonder why. and. indeed, 1t is understood
the President has directed that steps be
taken to bring them to the National Zoo at
once.
1t appears that Mr.. Ellis. who had the
animals consigned to himself arrived with
them at New York at very announcement
time for delivery. since all of the officials
who might have received them, including
the President. We're either away from their
places of business to vote, or else so taken
up with election matters that they could
not bother withwild animals. At least this
is the story. -ss.5st.
The royal gifts We're left for time IN
the New York custom house. it is said,
until the embarrassment of the custom
house officials was removed by an offer of
the New York Zoo to Keep the pets" 1t
is in the latter place that they are at he
present time. 1t is said that the New York
Zoo officials have taken a great liking to
the beasts and have asked permission to
keep some of them Of Mr.. Ellis, who said,
however. that the President had the only
SAY in the matter and had given them 10
the National Geological Park
According to the report Arthur Flynn a
custom house broker in behalf of William
Bartels of New York. who represents the
National Zoo, called yesterday at the GUS
tom house to get the animals released to
the Zoo in Washington, since the Treasury
Department had decided they could come
duty free But Mr.. Finn did not have the
bill of lading and the custom house official
refused the request.
1t is said Mr.. Finn was given to under
stand that Mr.. Ellis had the bills and would
not give them up until he was paid $500 in
freight charges.
1t is now expected, however, that since
the President himself has given instruc-
tions that the animals be brought here
without more delay, the whole mix-up will
resolve Itself into thin air. and the beasts
arrive some time this week.

Marquise des Monsters Said
to Expect Reimbursement.
INFLUENCE SUSPECTED
PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME OF
DIVINITY HALL.
Early History of the Caldwells Given
by Correspondent-An
of the Marquise.

Leading Catholics of Washington were
interested today In cable message from
Rome which stated that action of the
Marquise des Monsters in remuneration of
the Catholic faith is only preliminary to
an action for the return to her of at least
part of the funds which she bestowed
on the Catholic University. and that 'some
one very close to the marquise is the prime
mover in the scheme"
The cablegram. after describing the
shock In ecclesiastical circles at Rome

ritaries of the Catholic Church there say
that the name of Caldwell. which was
given to divinity hall at the university,

cable states, have gained a point toward
the recovery of some of the money which
she openly claims to have been influenced
INTO bestowing upon the university
1t Is said an investigation has been
started at Rome by high officials of the
Catholic Church to discover if any min

ton. by sighting her in any manner 1t

Antecedents of Marquise.
"A correspondent of The Star, in referring
to the published statement that the father
of the Marquise des Monsters was an Eng
lish actor, states that the party referred to
was her grandfather. who married a lady
In Richmond. Va, but soon separated from
her.
His son, William Shakespeare" says the
correspondent, grew up in Richmond, and
there the romance of his life occurred-his
love for Anne Carmichael. She died and
Caldwell was broken hearted. He went to
Cincinnati, where his father had established
gas company. He, too. grew rich After
some years he married Miss Eliza Brock
inrdge of Kentucky. In case of no heir
her futune was to go to some relatives.
it was only after they became Roman Cath
Olcs and special prayers were offered up
that child was born to them.
Shakespeare Caldwell was an Episco-
palian, and a very devout one. He pro-
fessed the utmost contempt for what he

grand ceremonies at Easter in ST. Peters s.
Like most converts to Rome, he went to ex-
tremes and became a fanatic. Mrs. Cald-
well and two daughters died in New York.
Alienated From His Sister.
1.-The most natural person to take charge
of the two little girls would have been his
sister, lovely woman. All efforts to
make his sister leave the Episcopal Church
having failed, he would not permit his sister
to have anything to do with the children.
Shakespeare Caldwell was considered the
handsomest man of his day. He was fair,
with light hair and blue eyes. The daugh-
tiers were very unlike their father"
