DR.. Allen, who says he expects to stay

What do you think OF the sauerkraut

mend an exclusive diet OF sauerkraut for
such delicate stomachs as cannot main
tain an exclusively peanut diet without
signs of hypernutriuon?
The bean man said: The only thing /

tanner, MANcLED
BY CAGED LION,
NOW A CR|PPLE

Pittsburg, Nov. Al. F. Briggs a lion
tanner. whose home is In New York city,
was niangled on the stage OF a Pittsburg
theatre Friday night by a lion OF the Eb-
erling animal show. The facts were con-
cealed from the public in order to allow
the owners of the show time TO leave the
city and escape prosecution. A woman
was killed here last summer by a lion in
a park and since then the feeling against
trained animal shows has been bitter.
Briggs had charge OF the animals. In
the early part of the week Fftz, one OF
the largest of the lions. became i'll.
Briggs treated the animal, but IL grew
no better. The lion appeared to be so Ill
that Friday night Briggs thought IL safe
to enter his cage to administer treat
ment.
No sooner was Briggs inside the cage
than the lion sprang upon him. and as he
lay PROSTATE in the bottom OF the cage,
stripped the flesh from his right leg with
his teeth. Other attaches hurried TO the
rescue and one of them shot the lion
through the eye. The wounded animal at
tempted to turn on the new enemy, and
Briggs was dragged from the cage In an
unconscious condition
At the East End hospital 1t was stated
that he will recover. but will be a cripple
for life. The lion will also recover with
the loss of an eye. Four weeks ago in
Cleveland Briggs was attacked by the
same lion and so badly injured that he
Law I'm a Cleveland hospital for three
weeks. He had just rejoined the show In
Pittsburg on the Monday preceding the
second attack.

ASKS RECEIVER
FOR EXPOSITION
At JAMESTOWN

Norfolk. Va. Nov. The National
Meter company OF New York has brought
a chancery suit against ths jamestown
Exposition company in which "A receiver
ship is asked for. A decree of reference
has been entered in the case and ON the
report of the master tho issue of the re-
ceivership hangs. According 10 well in
formed opinion the report will call for
the appointment of receiver.
Not the least of the expositions finan-
cial troubles is the direct result of the
action of a minority OF the board of
directors In practically forcing James NJ.
Barr out of the director-generalship and
electing Alvah II. Martin in his stead.
In a time OF sore need the railroads with
terminals here. and some steamship lines,
pooled interests and raised a sum eSti-
mated at between 10000 and $4,000 To
aid the exposition. Exposition bonds
were TO be taken for the money and a
condition was that Barr should serve as
director-general. supervise the expendi-
ture OF the money and have absolute con-
troll of the management OF the exposition.
The exposition stockholders and direct
ors enacted the necessary amendments 10
the bylaws OF the corporation In agree
ment with the demands OF the transporta-
ton lines. and Barr was elected and took
charge. Friction was not long In COM
ing. chiefly over social affairs. and Barr
twice resigned, saying he could not re-
main under existing conditions" which
was In effect an allegation that the expos-
ton was not living up 10 its contract with
him. The railroads took the same view.
So did George B. CortelyolR secretary OF
the treasury. who is In the position OF
government agent for the collection of ths
million-dollar loan made TO tho exposition
by the government. only small fraction
of which has been paid
Martins friends then got together a
minority OF the directorate and accepted
Barr's resignation and elected Martin.
The railroads had put up their money as
agreed, but except as 90 one line, the
Chesapeake and Ohio. II had not yet been
turned over to the exposition. The money
was withdrawn. This was a hard blow TO
the creditors. The railroads were not sat
ished with Martin. They claimed that the
