R 0 B BED A CIRCU s
TWO YOUNG MEN STEAL WILD
ANIMALS.

Special Dispatch to The Star
OMAHA, Neb., October 25.-With a lurid
idea of becoming the proprietors of small
sized circus, c. j. Larose and Ed Warren,
two Omaha young men, last night broke
into circus train which was lying over in
Omaha for a day and stole cages of lions,
tigers and leopards. The young thieves got
away with the plumber and made second
trip to the cars with the intention Of steal
ing an elephant to complete their collection
They were detected and captured later.
The animals which they had stolen were
found in a livery barn where the young
thieves had left them temporarily.
Barnes circus was lying in the Union
Pacific yards during the night when Larose
and Warren, aged about twenty, who had
been reading novels and had decided to 20
into the show business, determined to be-
gin their collection of animals They hired
a dray from livery stable, drove into the
| freight yards and broke into car contain
! ing cages of animals. Three cages con.
| tanning two lions. one tiger and three leop
ards were loaded into the dray without
arousing the Waterman. These cages were
taken to McDonald's livery stable and un-
| loaded. Then the boys returned and while
trying to break into car containing four
elephants, were detected by the Waterman
and captured. -
The first the circus people knew of the
| theft of the animals was when the boys
| at the police station told the captain he
| had better send word to McDonads barn
| to have the workmen keep away from
| certain section where there were some wild
animals stored

CHAUFFEURS ON STRIKE
THREE HUNDRED OF THEM
WANT AN INCREASE.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Three hun
dred chauffeurs employed by the New
York Transportation Company, which ope-
rates $50 public electric cabs, went on
strike today for an increase in wages. AS
a result nearly all the cabs remained in
the big garage at 5Oth street and sth
avenue today.
The men declare that they are compelled
to report for work at the garage every
morning at o'clock and some days they
are not given any work at all. They are
paid at the rate of 16 % cents an hour
for what time they work.
They demand for the chauffeurs of the
ordinary electric machines uniform wage
Of 81 for a twelve-hour day. Another OF
the grievances is the cost of the uniform
they are compelled to wear.
For the drivers of vehicles hired to pri-
vate families the men demand $3.50 per
day instead OF 1921, the amount they are
now receiving.
A non-unlon man who attempted to take
one of the electric vehicles from the garage
was set upon by a crowd of strikers and
dragged from his seat. He was being
roughly handled when he drew a revolver
and fired into the crowd. No one was hit.
A big force of policemen who had been
summoned when the trouble began arrived
just after the shot was fired. They charged
the crowd and made two arrests
President Mead of the transportation
company said the company regards the
demands Of the men as unjust and that
Trey cannot be granted at present. He de-
clared he had known nothing of the de-
mands Of the men until yesterday and even
when the demands were made the men did
not enumerate their grievances.
After the trouble encountered by the non
union chauffeur it was not attempted to
send out any more machines without police
protection.

HartJe in August Hartte's application for

after the negro coachmans arrest in Ohio
Ray said Hooe confessed that he had been
promised $4,000 for the statement, and had
never received but $500. Hooes confess
sion, according to Ray, was most sensa-
tional
In cross-examination Ray detailed
Hooe's arrest and second confession. deny
ing that he had told the prisoner that a
mob was waiting in Allegheny to lynch
him, and that he had promised to protect
him if he said his first statement was

NEWFOUNDLAND SHORE.
Question Raised in the British Parlia-
ment

LONDON, October 25.-The parliamentary
secretary for the colonial office, Winston
Spencer Churchill when questioned in the
house of commons today on the subject
of the recent AngloAmerican agreement
in regard to the New Foundland fisheries,
said that the government of New Found
land had. naturally, been consulted before
any negotiations were begun, and was fully
informed of their progress at each stage.
The British government, however, was not
so fortunate as to obtain the concurrence
of New Foundland in the provisional agree
ment, which the circumstances rendered
necessary.
Pressed for information as to whether
1t was not usual in matters OF this kind
to cooperate with the colonial governments
concerned, Mr.. Churchill said that the ques-
ton ought to be put to the foreign secre-
tary, as an Interpretation of imperial treat
les was involved
