BEARS IN A CATHEDRAL
Soldiers Routed by Three Hungry
Animals Which Invade Sacred
Precincts They Occupy

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, April S.-Three hungry black
bears successfully held the Cathedral
Ariege, against the government inspec-
tor who wished to take an official in
ventory.
A. committee of townspeople pur-
chased the bears from a travelling
Snowman last week after the cathedral
authorities had been notified Of the
Forthcoming visitation.
The Snowman agreed to return half
the purchase money If the bears sur
vived the Siege and were afterwards
delivered to him in good condition.
The animals were locked in a coal
cellar adjoining the cathedral, and for
two days before the expected visitation
were deprived of food. AS the inspec-
tor Unexpectedly delayed his visit a
day, they were ravenously hungry, as
we'll as angry when he finally arrived
before the west door of the cathedral
with his papers and a military escort.
To the surprise of the inspector his
demand for admittance to the cathedral
was instantly complied with. But no
sooner had he stepped inside with his
escort than the great door was shut
and bolted.
A moment later the startled inspector
discovered the bears. They had been
shifting hungrily around the choir, but
the noise of the closing door attracted
their attention and they trotted down
the central aisle of the nave to in
Vestigate the newcomers.
The inspector and the soldiers made
frantic efforts to reopen the door. This
caused derisive laughter on the out
side. Then the frightened official
vaulted over some chairs and climbed
on top of confessional, while his ter
ror-stricken companions ran down the
side aisles shrieking wildly for help.
The soldiers finally managed TO Sc
crete themselves in side chapel. Then
a townsman, representing the bears,
opened negotiations with the inspector.
"Will you go away if we open the
door," he called.
"At once" replied the inspector.
The door was opened little way and
the inspector, sliding down from his
confessional, made dash and squeezed
through just in time. A second later
one of the bears was clawing the closed
door.
Eventually the Snowman was induced
to recapture the bears and they were
fed afterwards being locked up again
in the coal cellar to await further
government attacks

WIN OPEN SHOP FOR CUPID
Girls Sweethearts May Wait for Them
Now at fremont Silk Mills,
Gate
Snecial to The Herald.


NEW YORK, April S.--The strike of
the fremont silk mills, which had
lasted for three months, was declared
off yesterday, and hereafter that fac
tory will be an "open shop" for Cupid.
The two hundred young women en-
ployed there are crying victory, for,
in the future their sweethearts may
wait for them at the gate-even in
side the yard. 1t was not so before
the strike, and that was one reason
why the girls put on their hats and
walked out.
The trouble began just before the
holidays. The affair of the waiting
sweethearts was mixed with the oppo-
sition of the company to certain de-
mands made by the girls who had
ioined the International Workers of
the World. The main grievance, how
ever. was that the manager issued an
order saying that the factory was
strictly a place for work, and not only
must love-making be put off until
after the whistle had blown, but no
beaux should wait around the gate OF
inside the building.
The girls held an Indignation meet
ing and appointed committee who
told Julius Jasper, the manager, that
unless their beauX were permitted to
wait for them In the yard or at the
gate they would quit work.
what shall we do on rainy days?
one of them argued. "Walk a block or
two before we can get under so-and-
SOS umbrella"
Mr.. Jasper was firm, and the strike
followed. Many of the girls returned
to work in few days, but forty stuck
it out for three months. The victory
obtained yesterday was compromise
The demands growing out of the strik-
ers' membership in the international
Workers of the World were not grant
ed, but on the question OF waiting
sWeethearts the girls came out of the
fight with flying colors.

For airs that steal too lightly by;
But wise men trace them as they fly
Sing no, yeo ho!

Where mischief breezes come and go!

Yet little glances up and down
A sigh, smile, a touch, a frown-
The very fashion of her gown

Sing no, yeo no!

Europeans, in whose minds anarchisuc
doctrines have been instilled.
The coal barons are primarily respon-
slble for the anarchistic attitude of
miners, as reported from the coal fields
of Pennsylvania. The greed for cheap
labor led to the importation Of that
class. The lesson thus taught should
cause measures to be instituted for the
effectual stoppage of all such imml-
grants at American port gateways.

USE HEAVY SWITCH ENGINES
Lake Shore Orders Largest Locomo
tives Of Kind Ever Built

The Lake Shore was the first road
to use heavy locomotives for switching
purposes and its experiments have
been so successful that it has now or
dered five of the heaviest switching
locomotives ever built.
Other lines have been watching the
use of these heavy engines and it is
probable that most of the roads over
the country will adopt similar locomo-
tives for switching.
The engines ordered exceed all others
in weight by $4,000 pounds without the
tender. They have five pairs of drive
wheels. The locomotives will weigh
$4,000 pounds each with the tender,
and will have tank capacity of 5000
gallons.

The railroads brought 5000 colonists
to Los Angeles Saturday and have 5000
more headed this way. These people are

tales of this beautiful land and they

lation. That's the kind of traffic Los
Angeles likes to see.

in disguise, they belong in prison. In
either case rid the streets of them.
