zoo ELEPHANTS
TAKE THEIR "ANNUAL."
Central Park Animals Given Twenty
Gallon Oil Bath-Amuse Crowd
by Antics,

NEW YORK. July 26.-Twenty gallons
of neatsfoot oil were used to give the an
nual massage to the two elephants in the
Central Porl. Zoe yesterday, Jewel and
Hattie. Their hides mad become rough,
discolored and thick with surplus growth
of skin.
I'm a few days the rough kin will
scale off by the action of the oil and will
become smooth and soft" said Head
keeper Snyder.
Hattie. the trick elephant, gave the
keepers every assistance in applying the
oil by lying down, k~neellng and sitting
down with her ~forefeet raised above the
keepers heads. She trumpeted with de-
light when Keepers Snyder and Horton
began to apply the oil with brushes.
Jewel was not so docile and the oiling
had to be done in her room. When the
oil began to sink through the great folds
of outer skin and gently sting and tickle
her, she looked at the keepers in surprise,
trumpeted loudly, and, putting her trunk
around Robert Horton, lifted him TO one
side. Snyder talked to her %soothingly and
made her drop on her knees, and the work
was finished before she again became I'M
easy. Once or twice she picked up trunk
fuls of hay and tossed 1t upon the keep
ers, to the great amusement of the spec
tators. Today the animals will have a
bath of cold water.

presiding at Union County Superior
Court, formally discharged it and
stated thai he would not go into the

in 10th Union and Arson Counties in
favor of the defendants to hope for
a conviction. He urged Solicitor Rob-

.UZZLE: WHO
CONTROLS
CITY HALL
DiSputing Aldermen and
Commissioners Ask COun-
sells Opinion.

Apparently the question. regarding
the custody of the City Hall, as be-
tween the commissioners and the pub
lie buildings committee of the Common
Council, is still in doubt, for the COM
mittee last night directed Chairman
Holzner to get from City Counsel James
r. Nugent an opinion on the subject.
The lawyer viii be asked to expedite
his decision on the point.
The commission, according to a state
ment made by Mr.. Holzner last night,
maintains hal It has complete authori-
ty as to the City Hall building and at
the same time refuses 10 spend any
more money on the structure.
Trouble began after the for
NAL occupancy of the building by the
city officials On December 20, 1906. At
that time the commission refused to
recognize the right of Couneilmanic
a%ppointees to assume charge. This
year, after the Democratic majority
had put it's slate through for the new
City Hall jobs, the commission gave
way to a certain extent and dismissed
its employees to give place to the new
ly appointed men and women.
At last nights meeting a copy of a
letter sent to the City Counsel by
City Clerk Connolly was read, and fol-
lowing it the decision to urge the law
department to hurry its opinion was
reached. The letter was written at the
request of the committee and after
reviewing the action of the commission
in having the wires disconnected and
the lights cut out against the wishes
of the Aldermen and with the results
mentioned, the letter reads that the
committee, ITO avoid a clash in the
future" asks generally whether the
control of the building is now vested in
the Mayor and Common Council or in
the new City Hall Commission
Alderman Julius A. Meyer, as a MEM
Der Of the special lighting committee,
as well as the committee on public
buildings, said that it was of narticu-
lar Importance that the question of
relative authority be settled expedi-
ously because of the plans Of the for
mer committee in connection with the
electric lighting plant to be installed
He did not nention the statements
made by City Hall Commissioner
Thomas Cressey, recently, to The effect
thai if the Council installed a lignting
plant the commission would throw it
into the street.
1t is the contention of the commits
sion that it has control of all matters
pertaining to the building until It can
be said that every detail in connection
with it is complete. The management
of the structure, it is admitted. rests
with the Council. The Aldermen Point
to the handing over of the keys on De-
cember 20 as the %physical. transfer of
the property.
Mr.. Meyer wanted to have an as
sistant chief City Hall engineer agreed
upon by the public buildings commits
tee to act for Louis Ward, the chief,
when he was away, but the committee
refused. Chairman Holzner told Mr.,
Meyer to take the matter up in the
lighting committee.

BOMB FOR GAMBLER
FOLLOWS TWO OTHER LIKE
ATTEMPTS IN CHICAGO.
steel-Cased Bomb Explodes in Alley in
Rear of Home of Mont Tennes,
Operator of Gambling Houses.

CHICAGO, July 26.-An attempt to
blow up the residence of Mont Tennes.
an alleged professional operator of
gambling houses. was made last night
by some person unknown to the police.
The miscreant was armed with a steel
cased bomb.
Five days ago a similar attempt was
made to dynamite the saloon operated
by ex-State Senator John +. O,Malley.
This case had been kept secret.
Both attacks. barren of serious re-
suits, were in other respects similar to
that recently made upon the residence
of Blind John" Condor, gambler and
turfman, an associate of Tennes. At
tina time the front Of Condon's library
was torn cut, and the lives of the oc-
cupants of the rouse were saved only
by the fact that they were in the back
rooms at the time.
The whole series of incidents is said
to grow out of jealousy between war
ring factions of gamblers and of efforts
on the part of partisans of the opposi-
ton TO brighten the men thu attacked.
In the attack last night on Tennes's
place the bomb exploded in a stone
paved alley in the rear of the Tennes
garage, which contained n new $1,000
automobile. but it did no particular
damage other than tearing a hole eight
inches deep in the alley, breaking four
windows in the Tennes house, and
splitting a plank eight inches thick in
two. The conclusion shook the entire
neighborhood, and pieces of steel from
the casing of the bomb were scattered
over the premises.
The police searched the neighborhood
for traces of the bomb thrower, but
did not find him.

ALDERMEN IN
SQUABBLE
OVER GIRL
Hard Words Exchanged Over
Appointment Of City Hall
Phone Operator.

When an orphan gets a city job
should she lose it or not? This was
the thrilling question that was brought
up for solution at the meeting of the
public buildings committee of the Com
mon Council last night, and before it
was settled the wise ones in the hall,
after listening to the uproar that came
from the city clerks Office, shook their
heads sadly and murmured, THE
schoolhouse committee of the Board of
Education is meeting again."
When the meeting was called to order
by Chairman Holzner the members be-
came involved in a controversy over
the selection of the additional girl
operator for the City Hall switchboard,
and after the ball had started. rolling
the talkfest on this important matter
was kept up for the better part of two
hours.
The principal figures in the contro-
versy were Chairman Holzner, who
acted as knight errant in the cause of
the temporary operator, Miss Lena NJ.
Shepard, while Alderman Michael
Leveen tilted manfully for the girl of
his choice-that is, his choice for the
position-Miss Mamie Connorton; and
for fear the fight would lag for the
want of candidates, Alderman George
w, Frey entered the lists with the
name of Miss May Hogan, who. he
stated, would be in the running il
there vas a scramble for the job.

statement with the committee stating
that he had. in accordance with the
city ordinance, selected Miss Shepard

approval of the committee. and the
knights Immediately entered the lists
and the scrap was on.
There was a determined effort to nave
the matter dropped. The chairman de-
clared that the discussion was out of
place. and that If any member of the COM
mittee desired a change he should take
the matter up in the Council, not in COM
mittee.
Alderman Leveen announced that he
wouldn't stand for such treatment, and
the chairman said he wouldn't hear any
motions.
You won'tY' from Alderman Meyer.
mo, I won't!" averred the angry chair
man.
Chairman Holzner insisted that the mat
ter had heen tabled and explained that If
the members of the committee wanted to
take 1t up at any time they should bring
it up at a future meeting or prepare a reso-
luton for the Council.
The chairman of this committee is not
playing fair" insisted Mr.. Leveen. HE is
not doing his duty
Mr.. Leveen wanted a committee appoint
Ell to confer with the law department. The
chairman turned a deaf ear to the motion.
Messrs. Leveen aud Meyer held a confer
enoe, and then made a last strenuous eff
fort to have the matter taken up, but
without success.
Alderman Hozeer SAID that it would b.
necessary to purchase more splttoons for
the Board Of Education"
We've had two fires . said Mr.. Holzner.

THINK THEY HAVE
FOUND HOLY GRAIL.
Is the Cup from Which Christ Drank
at Last Supper, According to
Arthurian Legend.

LONDON, July 26.-The Express
prints a story of the discovery near
Glastonbury Abbey of a glass vessel of
beautiful workmanship and apparently
of great antiquity which one, at least,
of the discoveries believes is the Holy
Grail of the Arthurian legend. The
Holy Grail is the cup from which
Christ is reputed to have drunk at the
Last Supper, and, according to ancient
British tradition, it was brought to
England by Joseph Of Arimathea after
the crucifiXion.
The vessel is of blush green glass of
some kind, cunningly inlaid with silver
leaf. A number of eminent persons,
including Ambassador Reid, Prof. Will
lam Crookes and the Rev. r. j. Camp
bell, have examined 1t. 1t is now in
the possession of Prof. Crookes, who has
undertaken to solve its history.
