HAVING TROUBLE
WITH SQUEEDUNKS
ELEPHANTS GIVEN A BATH IN
THE Y. M. c. A. SWIMMING
POOL LAST NIGHT.

Considerable excitement was caused
last night about 10 o'clock when the
elephants which have been brought to
the city for the Squeedunk parade We're
taken to the Y. NJ C. A. swimming tank
and given bath AS the result of this
immersion, 73 tons of mud were taken
from the tank this morning. The elc-
plants are so large that they simply
flooded all the water out of the tank
except that which went into solution
with the mud, and an alarm all along
the banks OF Mill creek was sounded
when the water went tearing down the
bangs of that classic stream.
General Bauldy Saurers, who was left
alone with the animals by Jacques
Lancaster, their trainer. was consid-
erably exercised last night when the
female lion gave birth to 81 of the
cutest little kittens ever seen. Bauldy
arose to the occasion and was feeding
them milk from a SQueedunk hat when
the trainer came back and relieved the
situation
The Squeedunks have been kept in
the Orpheum theater and the excite
ment was terrible when last night it
was learned that they had eaten all the
fruit from the scenery belonging to the
Streeter- Bryan company and had
picked all the flowers and pinned them
on their motley coats. They had also
built fire in one of the scenery stoves
and were trying to snare the birds in
the painted trees when the timely ar
rival Of General Sauers from the lion
kittens put them back to their quar-
tiers. 1t is estimated that several
pounds of paint will be required to
repair the damage. although liberal
amount of painted seed were sown this
morning in hopes that the flowers
would be replaced before the theatri-
cal company returns. One good thing
was learned from the experience. how
ever, and that is that the Squeedunks
can be watered from the pond on the
drop curtain. Three were drowned YES
terday sailing in the boat on this cur
tain but all are now furnished with life
preservers
Several of the Squeedunks have lately
obtained divorces and their merry wild
oWs will be in the parade looking for
new spouses. Here will be chance for
everyone, as there are some so of
these beautiful creatures who are ach-
ing to enter again the bonds of we'd
lock. One merry widow, a winsome lass
of sweet sixteen. will be one of WalIa
Walla's most popular young ladies and
a box of candy is offered to the young
lady spectator who guesses her identity

Of 10000 people. 1t has every up-to-
Date convenience and reflects credit on
the designer. the people, contractor and

REDMOND WARNS
BRITISH PREMIER
Irish Nationalist Chief Points to tho
Fate of Lord Rosebery and Says
He Will Force the Issue.

Dublin, April 17.-Speaking at a
meeting Of the United Irish league.
John E. Redmond, the Irish parlia-
mentary leader, said the changes in
the ministry resulting from the as
sumption of the premiership by Mr.
Asquith had involved an alteration
of the attitude of Ireland toward the
Liberal party.
Mr. Redmond said he did not think
that Irish voters could support Win
ston Churchill in the approaching bye
election at Manchester. Mr. Churchill
has been elevated to a cabinet posi-
ton as president of the board Of trade
and his reelection is necessary.
Mr.. Redmond declared that the at
titude Of Premier Asquith and Secre-
tary for Ireland BirreIl toward home
rule was a direct challenge to the peo-
pie of Ireland. He warned Mr.. AS
quith to remember the fate or Lord
Rosebery. Ireland herself would have
to force the home rule question to the
front at the next general election, but
there was nothing to be gained by
withdrawing the Natonalists from
Westminster.
