firms should have the privilege of ex-
hibiting the silver service which the
state will present to the battleship Ne

His action has aroused considerable
commotion in the ranks of the Meth

prominent. and anxious queries are be-

whether or not he has abandoned his
crusade against resort to chance.
He called in his private secretary, A.
B. Allen, and his Assistant Attorney

HOSPITAL FOR zoo BABIES
Lyine-in Institution In a New YORK
Park for Newcomers From
Warmer Chimes

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-An expert
ment with what Is practically ly-
ing-in hospital for animals is being
tried at the New York Geological
park in the Bronx, and if the first
test proves successful the system will
be extended and generally adopted
whenever the stork is about to visit
the animal headquarters in the park.
This improvised hospital was at first
more a matter of necessity than ex-
pertinent. During the last two days
five tropical deer have been born in
the park, and. as these chilly days are
action had to be taken.
Keeper John Quinn asked permis-
sion to turn the building formerly oc-
cupied by the red deer into what he
said would be lying-in hospital Con-
sent of the officers was readily grant
ed and soon Quinn had arranged
things comfortably for the deer moth
ers and saw that both they and their
young were protected from the autumn
blasts.
Among the baby deer which were
the first to occupy the new quarters
are representatives of the samber,
horse-tail and Timor species, all of
which come from the East Indies.
When one of the young animals yes
terday showed much life and a desire
to run around, Keeper Quinn. fearing
that 1t might catch cold. quickly made
a warm blanket and covered 1t care
fully
Keeper Quinn is now referred to by
his fellow-keepers as "chief nurse of
the lying-in hospital" He does not
mind that, but takes great delight in
all new arrivals at the park. The lat
est newcomers show no bad effects
thus far from the climate.

The Herald yesterday, it's request is
only authoritative utterance regarding the question:
it merits close consideration. Mr.. Mueller distinctly dis

Probably one in Los Angeles has given closer
