WHY GIRLS LEAVE HoME.n

The story of Why Girls Leave Home,' which comes to Poli's Thurs day afternoon and evening, is that of a young and beautiful girl whose char acter is misunderstood by her older brother, who seeks to drive instead of coaxing her. and she is induced to be- lieve that there is more in bohemian life than in that of her quiet home. She is saved by good friends and a constant lover and all ends happily with virtue triumphant and yillainy exposed and punished Messrs Vance and Sullivan are said to have spared no expense in staging the play, the scenic investiture being very elaborate, while the members of the company are people especially suited to the characters they portray. Prices are 25, 8 and 90 cents; matinee p cents. Sale of seats Wednesday.

PYGMY HIPPoPoTAMUs RARE.
Wanders in Woods Instead Of Ere
quenting Rivers and Hard to Find.

From TIT Bits.
There are two animals practically I'M
known to the outside world. These are the
pygmy, or Llberian. hippopotamus and the
Derbian Gland. The first-named is just
what it's name implies, a pygmy hippopot-
anus. differing from the larger and COM
mon variety in three respects only.
In the first place, 1t is much smaller than
the common hippopotamus amphibius, be-
ing no larger chan an ordinary or fair-sized
hog; in the second place, 1t differs some
what from the common hippo in the char
acter of it's teeth; and. In the third place.
instead of spending its time In the rivers
and lakes in large herds, 1t wanders about
through the Jungles singiy or in pairs, much
after the manner of swine in search of
mast.
Owing to the fact that it does not go In
herds and is hard to distinguish against
the dark background of jungle thickets. 1t
is an exceedingly difficult animal to hunt
or find. If anything. the legs of the dwarf
Liberian hippopotamus are a trifie longer
in proportion than are those OF the COM
mon htppopotamus
Next to the Liberian hippopotamus the
Derbian Gland of west Africa. which the
Mandingoes call "Jinke janko." is today
the least known Of all rare and strange
animals.
Even though Great Britain France and
L-.eria own practically the whole of the
northwest African coast no specimen of the
Derbian Gland has thus far reached Europe
or this country, and next to the okapi 1t is
indeed the least known Of all game animals.
There are three distinct species of Gland
In Africa, the large dun-colored cape Gland
Of south Africa, the striped Livingston's
eiand Of east Africa and the Derbian Gland
Of west Africa from Senegambia to Da-
honey. The cape Gland, once very numer-
GUS, Is today almost extinct, having shared
the fate of other South African animals
that fell victims to the merciless "roers''
or elephant guns OF the Beers.

FUSS OVER ROCKEFELLER GIFT.
Standard Oil Attorney Replies to Ger
tain Churchman'S Charges.

8. c. T. Dodd, chief solicitor of the
STANFORD Oil Company, gave out state
ment in New York yesterday with REFER
ence to the recent discussion as to the ac-
eeptance of gift of $1OOOoO oHereo Wy
John D. Rockefeller for missionary WORK.
Mr.. Dodd declares that the statement that
Mr. Rockefeller made his money dishon-
estly "is false, is vile. and being made by
ministers in the pretended interest Oh
morality is doubly vile
Mr. Dodd then says that the Standard On
Company does not own share of stock OF
any railroad company, does not control any
railroad company, and that since the en-
actment Of the interstate commerce law mas
not received lower rates than other Snip
pers by rebates, arrangements devices OF
plans of any character. The testimony OF
Howard Page, freight agent of the Stand
ard Oil Company. before the Industrial COM
mission is quoted in this connection. With
reference to gas and copper companies, MT.
Dodd says:
mo doubt many have been prejudiced
against Mr.. Rockefeller by sensational
writer's, whose articles, accompanied by
portraits and caricatures, are intended TO
create the impression tina Dir. Rockefeller
was principal in the affairs relating to the
organization of the gas and copper COM
panies, although no fact showing such con-
nection is stated. The Standard Oil Com
pany has already denied that it had any
connection or interest directly or indirectly
in the organization of these corporations,
and on the best authority the same denial
is now made for John d. Rockefeller. He
had no connection with nor interest in, di-
rectly or Indirectly. the organization OF
these corporations"
Mr.. Dodd quotes at length from the tes-
timony of Howard Page. freight agent OF
the Standard Oil Company. before the in
dustrial commission, in support of his con-
tentfons.
Mr.. Page specifically denied that the
Standard received lower freight rates than
it's competitors. He stated that mo official
of the Standard OIL Company who is con-
nected with railroads has ever made a rate
or arrangement for the Standard OIL Com
pany, nor have any of those gentlemen who
are connected and have interests with rail-
roads ever asked me to give any undue or
unreasonable. or in fact. any share OF the
Standard Oil Company's business over such
a railroad"
Mr.. Page also emphatieally denied that
shipments by the Standard OIL Company
had ever been influenced toward certain
railroad lines by the fact that officers of
the Standard were owners Of stock in these
lines.

TRANSFERS ON STRIKE
QUIT IN SYMPATHY WITH GAR
MENT WORKERS.
Feared It is Beginning of Great Strug-
gle - Vicious Work Of
Union Pickets.

CHICAGO. April Two hundred team
sters employed by the mail-order firm OF
Montgomery Ward & Co. here, struck to-
day in sympathy with garment workers,
who have been in struggle with employ
ers for four months In the belief of many
labor leaders. today's strike is the begin
ming of a great contest that may involve
90 600 drivers.
The move against Montgomery Ward &c
Co. is an opening wedge by which the
teamsters hope to bring success to the
garment workers In an effort to esta blish
closed shop. There are twenty-eight en-
ploying clothing makers in the city. and 1t
is the purpose to extend the transfers
twenty-eight firms.
Indications are that the strike will not
stop even then, but will involve many other
branches Of the teaming industry.
Strike pickets of the Transfers Union
surrounded the building of Montgomery,
Ward & Co. here today, drivers with con-
signments of goods for that firm being
stopped and turned back by the strikers.
Drivers of express wagons were ordered
by the labor officials not to unload pack
ages at the companys freight platform.
The same order applied to drivers of other
unions. the chief ones involved being the
coal. truck and baggage and package de-
lfveries.
Action of Railroad Express Men.
A resolution of the Railroad Express AS
ISOLATION to carry out orders for Montgom-
cry. Ward & Co., and to discharge any
driver who refused to deliver freight to
that firm. was put to test when A. D. Rey-
ers, driver for Wells, Fargo g. Co., was
about TO turn and drive away at the COM
mand of the union men in the streets.
superintendent Reed of the express COM
pany nailed the wagon and ordered Meyers
to make the delivery. Meyers said he was
afraid of the pickets. He was immediate
ly discharged. Mr.. Reed himself unloaded
the wagon
Business Agent J. B. Barry of the Ex-
press Drivers Union has declared that he
will order a strike of all express drivers.
1t is reported that the association of gen.
Chicago are holding non-union men in
readiness for such an emergency.
Two Employees Attacked.
Following by only a few hours a vicious
attack by union pickets on two employees
of the Art Bedstead Company. the plant of
that concern at 37th place and Rockwell
street, has been ravaged by fire. The flames
wrecked the entire south half of the plant
and caused a loss estimated at 100000. A
score Of families living in cottages along
the two streets were driven out though
their homes were not damaged.
For four weeks a strike has been on at
the plant, and non-union workmen fire.
quently have been harrassed by pickets.
The blaze started with series Of explo-
sions In the shelac department The first
blast hurled Watchmen George Hardy and
Matthew Grinalk across room adjoining

plant attacked Peter and Probius An

constitution also recites said state regent

regent of Arizona, and her nomination was
confirmed by the Continental Congress. she

at any time claimed to have residence IN
Arizona and proves conclusively that under
