ELEPHANT ATTACKS KEEPER.
Beast Apparently Thought Man Meant
to Rob It Of a Cent.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Otto Hoffman was
appointed a keeper in the Bronx Park zoo
a week ago and was assigned to the ante
lope house to act as valet to Gunda, the
frugal elephant Hoffman was selected for
this job because he had worked for Frank
Bostock for fifteen years
Gunda amuses the crowds by ringing a
bell and by picking up pennies that are
thrown to him and putting them away
carefully on a shelf for a rainy day. He
was engaged yesterday when a penny
rolled beyond his reach Valet Hoffman
went after the coin for Gunda. The latter
msconstrued his intentions, grabbed him
and dragged him into the cage.
Hoffman did some fancy acrobatic stunts,
using the elephants tusks for parallel bars,
and managed to keep himself out from un-
der the beasts feet. Other keepers came
with pitchforks and prodded until Hoffman
got away. Hoffman was badly used up and
tainted when he got out Of the cage.
DR.. Van der 6miasen found that he was
badly bruised about the body and had q
crushed rib and a bruised liver. HOFFMAN
was sent home in a cab. and last night he

sible for the unwilingness or inability Of
American cities to secure higher type of
public service. This charge we believe 10
be true. However, there seems to be an
idea with many people that the mere tax
ing by the city of all its public utilities Tor
municipal operation will at once result in
ideal municipal government through the
very necessity of putting honest and C,qn-
petent citizens in charge. While in
crease in the number and Importance OF
municipal functions may have tendc- cy
to induce men of higher type to become
publc officials, We do not believe that this

I'm many cases In the United States the
people have heedlessly given away their
rights and reserved no Sufficient power OF
control or regulation and We believe that
corruption of public servants has spru *
in large measure, from this condition Of
things. With the regulations that We have
advised, with the publication OF accounts
and records and systematic control. the
danger of the corruption of public officials
Is very much reduced"

MILLIONS STARVING.
Pitiful Tales From Hunger-Stricken
China in Letters

NEW YORK. July 29.-Pitiful tales of the
famine In China, where Is, 900 900 natives
In the hunser-stricken provinces along the
fangtse kiang river have undergone the
raNages of slow starvation until death or
the relief expeditions delivered them from
their suferings, are told in letters which
have Just been received at the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions here from DR..
William II. Gleysteen. who headed relief
expedition from Picking.
Mr. Gleysteen spent some time in the
famine zone. where he SAYS thousands of
Chinese reduced to abject want existed for
months on the bark Of trees and weeds
There were reports In the cities that in
their dire distress some Chinese practiced
cannloallsm So great was the task of
aI1Ihs the Starving millions that sometimes
only the able-bodied starving were helped
Tor thousands were wrecked with starva-
tlon that they were marked to die and
temporary relief would have only prolonged
their misery and have awaited nothing
Food and funds recently hurried into China
from Europe and America have aided Won
defully in alternating the distress.
describing the scenes as he viewed them
from launch on the Grand canal, Mr.
Gleysteen states in his advices that at
stops along the canal swarms Of women
and children surrounded the boat and
begged for food. Mothers held up
shriveled breasts. evidence of their
great needs. Thousands OF emigrants crowd
ed at the landing places waiting to be
taken to the cities. Reaching the center
Of the famine district at Chinkang Mr.
Gleysteen states that he found the streets
lined with men, women and children all
begging, and many dying.
Mr. Gleysteen said that the Chinese had
sold all they had that they might keep
from starving. Beams were torn from huts
and sold, and in one pawnshop. which he
visited, he found over 10000 guns and
thousands of hoes in pawn.

pawned." writes Mr.. Gleysteen. People

and banks of trees. which were ground

bit OF bark them. The poor people at
first mixed handful of flour or rice with
the leaves. but later multitudes had
nothing but leaves to live on. AS a result,
men began TO migrate. A man would put

troit With the Don Juan de Austria.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, July 29,-The
Michigan Naval Brigade had its first taste
of sailing on salt water yesterday. when II
sailed from the navy yard for Boston on
the former Spanish cruiser Don Juan de
Austria, j.. which has been loaned to the
state for the use of the Naval Brigade.
From Boston the ship, after taking on
ammunition, will sail for Detroit via the
st. Lawrence river and the great lakes.
1t is estimated that 1t will take about two
weeks to make the trip.
The cruiser left the yard with a detail
o. twenty men from the United States
Navy, who will assist the Naval Brigade on
the trip.
The principal reason for their presence
is the fear of seasickness among the brigade
men on the voyage to the mouth Of the ST
Lawrence
At Boston the ship will take on the am
muniton and she will then sail Monday
for the ST. Lawrence river and through
the various canals to the lakes and Detroit,
where the ship will hereafter be stationed.
She will be the first modern warship that
has been placed on the lakes.

.bou1d have the right to purchase the
nronerty for operation, lease or SALE pay
ing its fair value.
ITO carry out these Recommendations ei-
faot,vely and to protect the rights Of the
naonle we recommend that the various
states should give to their municipalities
the authority, upon popular vote under rea-
sonalble regulations. to build and operate
n1lblic utilities, or to build and lease the
same or to take over works already con-
etructed In no other way can the people
be nut upon a fair trading basis and obtain
from the individual companies such rights
"a they ought to have. We believe that this
provision will tend to make 1t to the en-
lightened self-interest OF the public utility
companies to furnish adequate service upon
fair terms, and to this extent will tend to
render It unnecessary for the public to take
over the existing utilities or to acquire new
ones.
Furthermore, we recommend that pro-
vision be made for competent public au-
thority with power to require for all pubic
utilities uniform system of records and
accounts. giving all financial data and all
information concerning the quality or serI,
ice and the cost thereof, which data shall

I'm case the management of public utili-
ties is left with private companies. the
public should retain in all cases an interest
in the growth and profits of the future,
either by share of the profits a reduc-
ton of the charges the latter being prefer
able, as 1t inu-es to the benefit of those who
use the utilities, while share of the profits

Our investigations teach us that no mll-
nicipal operation is likely to be highly sue
cessful that does not provide for:
'First-An executive manager with full
responsibility. holding the position during
good behavior.
"Second-Exclusion of political influence
and personal favoritism from the manage
ment of the undertaking.
''Third-Separation of the finances of the
undertaking from those of the rest or 'he

'Fourth-Exemption from the debt limit

I'VE wish to bring to your consideration
the danger here in the United States OF
turning over these public utilities to the
present government of some Of our cities.
Some, we know, are we'll governed and the
situation on the whole seems to be improv-
ing, but they are not up to the government
Of British cities. We found in England
and Scotland a high type of municipal
government. which is the result of many
years Of struggle and Improvement Busi-
