FRANKS OF A LOOSE BEAR
scares ST. Louis Folk, Hugs a colored
Woman and Climbs a Pole Be-
fore He Is Caught

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, June IA 4OO-pound
bear, two and half years old, escaped
from his owner, Mike Kanter, saloon
keeper. at 141 Franklin avenue, at mid
night last night.
Bob, the bear is well known. He has
been petted and spoiled till he feels
that he is the real ruler of the district.
His home up to few days ago was In
the back end of the saloon, and when
he was removed from there to a shed in
the rear by order Of Excise Commits
sioner Mulvihill, Bob resented the order
bitterly and began 20 show his first
symptoms of temper. Last night the
longing for company became too strong
for him. He broke his chain smashed
open the door of his shack and fled up
the street.
Through the throngs on the sidewalk
he dashed, head down, paws waving,
eyes staring. Screams, shrieks and
oaths filled the air. Policemen came
running from all sides, but none cared
to get in the way of bruin. Finally a
stout colored woman blocked his way,
though not intentionally; she did not
see Bob coming. He grabbed and
Rugged her, and her startled shrleks
curdled the blood of all who heard
them. No one volunteered to go to her
assistance.
At this juncture Bob's owner came

OVER FENCES
THE CHASE LED
DOZEN SPEEDY JAPANESE
LAND ONE MEXICAN
Enters a Boarding House on Bur-
glary Bent, and When Caught
Is Bound With Ropes
and Straps

T. Moreano, Mexican, was the cause
of lively chase early yesterday which
finally ended in his capture by a dozen
excited Japanese.
Moreano entered Japanese boarding
house before daylight with the purpose
of burglary, according to his captors,
and had succeeded in getting some
trities when the occupants of the room
became aroused.
Immediately a general alarm was
given and a dozen Japanese started
in pursuit of the fleeing man.
The chase led through dark alleys,
over boxes and barrels and back yard
fences and to the river bed.
The wiry little Japanese had more
endurance than the Mexican and finally
overlook him.
They sent a call to the police station
and two Officers were sent to take the
man to the central station. When the
patrolmen arrived they found that the
Japanese had bound the man with
enough ropes and straps to hold wild
Texas steer.
Moreano is in the city Jail booked on
a charge of burglary.

breaches ON RELATION OF
CHARACTER AND ACHIEVEMENT

here the mani CESSATION Of Gods
presence with him. Prof Drummond
said that his religion was only a bore
to him till he began to work for
Christ. There are men whose religion
is a constant nuisance to them.
Jesus shows Nioodemus the superior
greatness Of character. II Is more in
nuentia in the world an achievement.
The man is greater than his MESA ge.
Behind the gospel stands the gentle
Nazarene, more influential than the
Caesars. Greater than the sermon was
the preacher; greater than the cure was
the physician; greater than the great
salvation stands the great Savior.
Across every deed of your life falls the
shadow Of your character.
Character is greater than achieve
ment because It is the spring of achieve
ment. Great deeds are not pumped UP;
they are thrown off, like perfume, or
windfall apples The source of good
deeds is above.
Character is possible TO all the sons
of men, great deeds to but few. 1t is
onward in patience, inward In purity
upward IN purpose. Some flowers are
born to blush unseen, but their perfume
is sweet to the Almighty. Not ambi-
lion, even in its ost refined form, said
President Hadley in recent address to
his students, but self-abnegation, the
quiet acceptance of your trust, does
most to uplift the world.
Even failure may be ladder to the
throne of God. Deeds demand sue
cess; character grows great by disap-
pointments'

BARRED ON FOURTH
Police Officials Set Right a Misap-
prehension-in Business District
Dangerous Explosives Are
Prohibited

Los Angeles boys need not worry
about police prohibition of fireworks
on the Fourth.
Through misrepresentation a sensa-
tional story was printed to the effect
there would be no fireworks this wear.
The telephones were kept busye at the
police station Saturday and Sunday
denying the report.
Captain Broadhead said that no TOW
cannon or dangerous toy pistols would
be allowed, NOE would other dangerous
explosives prohibited by city .ordi-
rance. But fireworks will be sold as
usual and the boys will celebrate the
glorious Fourth as in the past.
The ordnance forbids the use of
blank cartridges, firecrackers and
bomb torpedoes in the business dis
trict.
The police will prohibit the use of
cannon crackers, gas pipe cannon, re-
Volvers, shotguns and dangerous ex-
plosives.

BRISTOL, Conn.,, June TL-Witch-
craft has come back after lapse of 250
years, or else there are 400 badly mis-
taken residents of this city. They con-
stitute the Italian colony. In the last
two years not q single baby has come
to bless their homes, and the blame for
it is all credited to wtchcraft. They
insist some spell has been cast over
them and they loudly demand redress.
Carmencita Minetto, a pretty Sicilian
woman, who came here two years
ago, has been branded as the witch.
The Italians harked back recently TO
the date of her arrival here and re-
called that since that day not baby

a committee went to the police and de-
manded the woman'S arrest as witch.
But the police declined to make an ar

grew to such intensity today that the
Italians attacked her on her way TO
mass. The police protected her then,
but when she Ventured out again to-
night she was set upon by mob and
badly stabbed. She knows her assailant,
but refuses to give his name or make
a complaint. The woman has used herbs

The arrival in this city of Harry Gil

New York city, and his bride, the beau
ttlful daughter of Mayor Beach of Cow
lngton KY, is being looked for daily by
local hotel clerks.
recently Mr.. and Mrs. Gillian were
secretly married in st. Louis much to
the discomfort of Mayor Beach. The
news of his daughters marriage was
the greatest surprise to Mayor Beach.
The couple left Covington, telling
Mayor Beach that they were going to
visit girl friend in Rosedale, a suburb
of Cincinnati.

fathers scorn. But, through a letter
from her sister it has been learned the

NO. he did not know we were going

you see we left ostensibly to visit

went to st. Louis and got married.
oh, of course I'm glad. Papa will
not stay angry. He will enter into the
spirit Of the thing and enjoy it-when l
tell him about our elopement."
II is limited that Mayor Beach's objec-
uoh Is due wholly to the young brides
age. The charming Kentucky belle

to prevent her being married. Incl

Kanter started up the pole after him.
Bob's fear now became so great that

GOATS AS BOON FOR POOR
Wealthy Chicago Woman Has Unique
Plan to Furnish Milk to the
INDECENT

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, June Ito develop an
American milk goat that will be to
lar animals are to the people of Swift
zerland and Spain, is the fad which
Mrs. Edward Roby of South Chicago is
pursuing. So far her work in this pio-
neer industry has been recognized by
the agricultural department of the
United States, and federal agents have
visited her goat farm
She was prompted to embark in this
unusual work by desire to see the
infants of poor people we'll nourished.
II is her idea to develop an American
goat that will give a superior quality
of milk and then to sell it at the cost
of production.
Mrs Roby's work goes even further.
She has experimental In caring for
the little animals, and she hopes to
give directions for sanitary housing
that will prevent contamination of the
milk.
1t is held by some authorities that
goats are immune from tuberculosis,
and there is no evidence in the hands
of the agricultural department to COM
bat this theory. This, in Mrs Roby's
opinion, makes it more important than
ever that the goat be developed here as
1t is abroad, and become the poor mans
COW.
She hopes in time to see the goat as
common in America as 1t is in some
foreign lands, where rs per cent of the
families are said to use goats milk.
Goats never have been bred in this
country as milk producers-the extent
of pasture lands encouraging the own
ership of COWS, and the goat having
become a Joke With the growth of
population and the limitation of pas
lures the goat is receiving more atten-
ton.
