FORCED TO FIGHT
SAYS B. T. COUNCIL

The building Trades Council had an I'm
portant meeting yesterday. at which the
present strike situation was considered in
all It's phases.
The cause Of the trouble was placed up
on the shoulders OF Superintendent Evans.
whose attitude toward union labor, II was
said, has been hostile for years. He Is
credited with making the statement that
he had money enough to live on and he
would not be dictated to by the Building
Trades Council.
Labor men claim that Superintendent
Evans 10 the cause OF the whole trouble
and that he should be made TO answer
for his acts. They say he has placed the
contractors In bad situation and now
seeks to make them pay for his openly
expressed dislike of union labor.
The Building Trades Council membe %
say they are in the right in this matter.

PERFORMING ELEPHANTS
ATTRACTING CROWDS

Eph Thompson's educated herd Of ele-
plants is attracting unusual crowds to
Crescent Park. where II gives two inter-
esting performances daily. Both afternoon
and evening the four elephants are on
view. and the exhibition is peculiar for
the excellence OF tho training shown and
the ease with which the ponderous and
mails go through the tricks requiring con-
siderable dexterty.
The elephants yesterday delighted over
1000 at each performances, Mary's somer-
soult stunt proving tho most popular fea-

"Eph," who Is colored. Is as unusual as

just what they are. Elephants are just
like human beings; some are smart and
others know nothing. I have had ele-
plants understand what wanted OF them
In six months, ana they would turn right
in and work with me, and then others
would be so stupid after years OF training
would have to sell them"
Thompson originated many OF the popu-
lar tricks I'm vogue today.

as smart as stories they tell Of them, .
