BABY HlPPOPOTAMUS
LEARNS HOW TO SWIM
caIiph n Does Not Know How, but
His Mother Takes Great De-
light In Teaching
Him

NEW YORK, June 27.-Caliph II.
the baby hippopotamus in the Central
park zoo, came near drowning before
he learned how to swim a day or so
ago. He was saved partly by his own
presence of mind and partly by his
mother, Mrs. Bridget Murphy.
Caliph and his mother had been pris-
oners ever since Caliph was born in
the tank cage of the hippopotamus
house. Last week, the weather being
warm, they were driven over to the
open air corral In the middle of the zoo
There is big tank five feet deep in
this corral. The tank in the hippopota-
mus house is only three feet deep, and
it was there that little Caliph did his
padding about until last week. The
water there was too shallow for him to
swim without touching bottom, so Ca
liph II was no swimmer when he and
his mother entered the corral and
looked down at the miniature lake in
front of them. They stood looking at
the water minute or two. Then Ca
liph, who is frisky little chap in spite
of his 400 pounds, took running start
and plunged head foremost into the
tank. His mother did not follow. When
Caliph struck the water he Owed, and
his head did not appear until he had
gone nearly the entire length of the
tank, about twenty feet.
Then Caliph felt for bottom with his
feet. But there was no bottom within
reach. He sank beneath the surface
until his feet struck the asphalt.
UP again he bobbed, and this time he
blew a mighty squirt of water from his
nostrils. Keeper Snyder, who was
watching the performance, realized the
danger, for he knew that young Caliph
had never learned to swim. He thought
that the natural instinct of the beast,
however, might prompt it to work its

legs In the water. But cal,ph ap-

legs In the water. But Caliph ap-
parently forgot all about working his
feet. All he did was to bob up and
down, sometimes completely hidden,
and then again struggling into. fun
view. He had gone down f1ve times,
and was blowing loudly when Mrs. Mur-
ply plunged in with a mighty splash.
She swan over to where her son was
struggling. Keeper Snyder says ne be-
lieves she whispered something to her
son. At any rate. the little fellow let
his hind feet sink until they touched
bottom. then stood there, nose In air,
breathing. while he got his wind. sew
eral minutes passed thus. Then Mrs.
Murphy began to push young Caliph
toward the inclined slide which leads
from the water to the platform. she
pushed until Caliph's body struck the
incline and the youngster scrambled up
and fell painting on the floor or the
corral.
Caliph did not venture into the water
again until yesterday. Early yesterday
morning he gingerly picked his way
down the incline and padded rev
feet out into the tank, then wheeled
and returned. Several times he did
this while his mother watched. BY
noon, when the crowds began to ar
rive, the little chap had learned the art
of swimming, and all afternoon he
showed off to the hundreds OF men,
women and children who hung on the
top rail of the corral and looked on
enviously.

COOKING MEAL FOR DOGS,
POLICEMAN BURNS HOUSE
Pet CANNES Lose Lives Through Mas.
ter's Efforts to Provide Them
Home and Prepare
Repast

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-Cooking
a meal on a gas stove for his two pet
dogs proved a costly experiment for
Police Sergeant John Shaffer Of the
Tenth and Thompson streets station.
His efforts in the culinary line result
ed in a fire that caused the death of
his dogs and did damage to the ex-
tent of $500.
Shaffer's family left the city about
a week ago for their summer home at
Shawmont. There are eight little
ones in the shaffer family and It was
principally due to this fact that Mrs.
Shaffer insisted that the two costly
dogs, Tom and Nell, be left IN the
city during the absence of the family.
She was afraid that some of the chill
dren might be bitten.
Strangely enough the dogs, both
killed in the fire, We're the innocent
and indirect cause of the whole affair.
The sergeant has been in the habit
of going to a restaurant close to his
home end getting food there for his
pets. But yesterday ne had few
minutes to spare and decided to cook
some fresh meat for the CANNES.
He bought the meat, took 1t home
and put it in a pan. This he put ON
the gas stove and lit the fire. Then he
went out, forgetting all about the gas
stove. Two hours later he was called
home.
The wild cries Of the imprisoned
dogs. together with the escaping smoke,
attracted the attention of neighbor,
who turned in an alarm. The dogs
were both dead when the firemen
broke into the room where they had
been locked.
It is supposed the fire started from
the contents in the pan becoming ig-

business streets are filled with un-
licensed and homeless CANNES.
Pets that belong to little children;
dogs that generally are kept indoors or
locked up in back yards but which
manage to get out on the street per-
haps for the first time in many
months; dogs whose baby owners love
them almost as IL they we're human,
ana which have been theif companions
and playmates-these are the dogs
which the pound pirate loves to make
his victim.
IF he can't get them any other way
he is willing to resort to the bastard
ly decoy method--or break its back
with the net, or tear up flower gar
dens In chasing 1t, or do other un-
necessary acts which characterize the
present system.
1--WE are determined that some fea-
lures of this system shall be reformed,
If the system itself is not completely
changed. 1t is marked by many in
human cruelties and the S. p. c. A.
will do all in its power to put a stop
to them. But the first thing we will
tackle will be. the decoy. 1t has got
to be ended.
1.-THE men who were In charge of the
wagon in which the decoy was used
were John Burns, Peter Mcneil and
William Christy. Mcneil, I am told,
stated that he was the owner of the
decoy, but refused to go out on the
wagon again with his decoy. We will
see that all parties are arrested, II
they do go out and we hear of it.

WOMAN PRAISES HERALD
AND COUNCILMAN PEASE

Editor Herald: I want to express
my gratitude to you, and also to Coun-
Gilman Pease. for the manner in which
you are attacking the brutal Los An
geles dog law.
or all places In the United States.
none can be more inhuman than our
present system existing here in Los
Angeles. Beautiful Los Angeles, what
q disgrace to so fair city, and how
unfortunate to be in possession of such
municipal lawmakers as the men who
look more to the city revenue than to
making humane laws for the protec-
ton of the faithful dumb animals
whose loyalty to man exceeds his own
oftentimes. We read of incidents and
have noted them in our experiences,
where faithful dog has died of grief
over the separation from his master,
who perhaps has been heartless enough
to dispose Of him for a good price, and
we have known them to mourn over
the death Of human comrade. and in
their various ways prove their love
and faithfulness to man, and we would
like to ask why mans appreciation is
so small and his selfishness SO ex-
treme as to make his best and most
loyal dumb friends subject to tyranni-
cal laws that would put to shame the
chief rulers of some of the tribes of
Africa.
A Christian nation. America, the
home of the free and the brave--what
misnomer! Who and what are the
free and who are the brave? II 1t IL
a brave act to create inhuman laws
and then enforce them to keep up q
city revenue. then I am ashamed to
be an American and subject to such
lawmakers. ia not stand a ghost OF
chance If suffering cruelty and sought
protection.
1t is a matter of rank selfshness on
the part of some of our city officials,
while it may be an act of policy OF
cowardice on the part OF others. And
II am glad that there are sufficient
number of men and women in Los
Angeles who are brave enough to take
up the warfare for justice in behalf OF
our dogs. MRS. G. M. MORRIS.
