DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY
is PART OF BIG CIRCUS

The department of surgery and medi-
cine is the principal feature IN care OF
Barnum & Bailey's geological collec-
tion. George Conklin, with his corps
of assistant veterinary surgeons, ex-
ercises the utmost vigilance in his daily
examination of each cage. Not long
ago it was found necessary to remove
some ingrowing claws that were setting
Princess, the beautiful African lioness,
almost frantic with pain. 1t required
the combined efforts of the entire sur
gical staff to rope and hold Princess
while the operation was being per-
formed. A piece of scantling six by
three inches was thrust into the cage
to pin the animal in corner. Then
moose was dropped over her head. With
one blow of her paw Princess smashed
the stout piece of wood to splinters.
Another scantling was thrust in, only
likewise to be converted into kindling
wood.
While this was going on ropes were
slipped about Princess neck and body
She was drawn firmly against the bars,
and as her feet stuck through them
they were seized and held. In this way
the surgeon-c -chiropodist was able TO go
about his work, and in twinl1ling had
shipped off the ingrowing claws.

RAISE FUND FOR
AUBLE'S FAMILY
TO BE USED FOR ITS SUPPORT
AND EDUCATION
DAILY PAPERS AND BANK WILL
RECEIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS
Six Hundred Dollars Already Pledged
by Those Present at Meeting
Called in Late Captains
Office

A number of leading citizens of TINS
city. friends of the late Capt. Walter
H. Auble, who met his death in the dls-
charge of his duty last wednesday, as
sembled in the office formerly occupied
by the dead captain at the police sta
tion yesterday afternoon and projected
plans for raising a fund to care for his
wife and children.
The fund is to be for the education
of the children and the use of the fam
lily.
During his service in the Los Angeles
police department Capt. Auble was a
hard worker and performed his duties
in a fearless and conscientious man
ner. 1t was the consensus of opinion
at the meeting that the public could
find no better way of honoring the
memory of the dead captain than to
contribute to the fund for his family.
The meeting was brought about as
the result of requests of the friends of
Capt. Auble, who outlined the plan for
securing subscriptions.
Those in charge of the movement are
Perry w. Weidner, chairman; F. J..
Zeehandelaar, secretary, and Marco H.
Hellman, treasurer.
Persons desiring to contribute to this
fund can send their subscriptions to
any of the Los Angeles daily papers,
or to the treasurer, at the Merchants
National bank.
Before the meeting was adjourned the
following subscriptions to head the
list, were made:
Estate of H. W. Hellman, deceased. . $25C

of this character. She is alone at her
home during the daytime, her husband,
a peddler, being absent pursuing his
business of selling ice cream. She was
working about the house yesterday aft
ernoon when she swooned and fell. Her
condition was discovered by passersby
and the police were notified.
After she regained consciousness and
was able to leave the hospital she was
sent to her home. AS there was no one
there to attend to her 1t is probable
that she win be sent to the county hos
pital until arrangements can be made
to care for her at her home.
1t is said the husband is Christian
Scientist and has converted the woman
to the faith. 1t is also asserted that
she refuses the services of physicians
and relies upon the drugless treatment
as a remedy for all her ills.

Charge Made Against Her
by Sster-in-Law

Cyrus w. Dunham, against whom his
wife, Mrs. Theresa Durham, testified
several days ago in suit for divorce

ments made by him in cross complaint
in which he alleged unbecoming con-
duct on the part of his wife. Mrs
Lizzie Dunham told of number OF
escapades in which, she said, her sis
ter-in-law had acted part not at al
to her credit, the scenes being laid in
various rooming houses of Los Angeles

APPLICATION FOR LICENSE
BY BOHEMIAN GRILL REFUSED

An effort to rejuvenate the old Bo-
hemian grill met with disaster at the
hands of the police commission yester-
dav afternoon. G. Bazzini, a we'll
known restaurant man, applied to the
commission for restaurant liquor
license for the place, but the commits
sion refused to grant it.
The commission explained that it
had nothing against Mr.. Bazzini per-
sonally, and refused it without pre-
iudice to him, but said it would grant
no license for the Bohemian grill as
long as conditions were as they now
are. The license formerly held by this
restaurant was revoked August for
non payment of license fee.

LINCOLN ROOSEVELT MANS
ENEMIES ACCUSED
---------
ELECTION OFFICERS NOT REcu-
LARLY APPOINTED
Precinct Committeeman Declared to
Have Usarped Prerogatives
of Board Of Super
vIsors

While the law provides that the
board of Supervisors must appoint OF
ficers of election boards, apportioned
between the two political parties cast
ing the highest and the nextehighest
number of votes for governor in the
preceding election, 1T developed yes
terday in the examination of Robert
itchell, charged with voting twice in
precinct 27 at the, primary election
August IL, that this provision had not
been carried out and that Precinct
Committeeman Murphy had apparently
usurped the prerogatives of the county
body and placed men more to his lik-
ing in charge of the election in that
precinct.
Mitchell's examination took place be-
fore Justice Stephens and occupied the
entire day. 1t was continued until lO
o'clock this morning, when other I'M
portant witnesses besides those who
titled yesterday are expected to be
present.
clinton w. Hatch. 126 West First
street, the complaining witness, was
the first person TO take the stand. de
acted as Judge of election on August
=, he said, being appointed by Pre-
cinct Committeeman Murphy, and fiil-
ing the vacancy caused by the ao-
sence of Mr.. Splain, appointed by the
Supervisors. Mitchell, he said, ap-
peared at the polls when they opened
and demanded that the vacancies on
the board be filed through the choice
of the electors then present.
Mitchell Excited
"He was greatly excited and was
ANNOYING us very much" said Hatch.
"We had to put him out several times"
1t was while laboring under this ex-
citement that Mitchell cast his first
vote. being the fourteenth man to de-
posit q ballot in the precinct. Four
hours later he voted again, forgetting,
he says, the fact that he had already
voted. It was but few moments
later and while looking over the roster
that Mitchell discovered his double
vote and called attention to the fact
to several persons These, he said, as
sured him it was all right, and that
he could have the ballot taken out
when the polls closed. Hatch admit
ted that Mitchell said he had made a
mistake and wanted his name scratched
off the list. Other witnesses testified
substantially as did Hatch.
It is believed the attorneys repre-
senting Mitchell viii ask for a dis
missal of the complaint on the ground
that the election board was not con-
stituted in accordance with the law.
The law provides for two inspectors,
two Judges and two clerks, apportioned
between the two parties casting the
highest votes at the preceding cleo
zion, and in case of vacancies the elec-
tors present may appoint these Off
GERS. There was but one judge and
one inspector at the precinct polling
place on the day of the election, and
all officers were members of the same
party, with the exception of one clerk,
| a Democrat.

AMENDMENT NO. 10.

Those of you wio have not given attention to Amendemnt No. 10 should do so at the first opportunity. The Graphic has called attention to this matter before. but it is one of so much importance that We may be pardoned for reiteration.
 The great difficulty in securing tae passage Of an amendment to the con- stimton is to be found in the fact that such documents are of necessity dry reading to the average man, for it is the intention of those who draft them {, put the desired meaning in the shortest and most explicit form, with Ino regard for literary excellence or btauties of composition. For this req son such productions are not tempt ing, and the average man prefers to ge, his knowledge of them al second hand Or Not at all.
 Amendment No 10 is in no wise more readable than other legal docu- nonts, but within its few lines are compressed propositions which, if en- Gorsed by the people will aid greatly II. the development of Arkansas. IL provides for road improvement and for Improvements of like nature in our cities and towns.
 It is important that certain im- provements should be made in cities and towns, and it is equally important that We improve ou, roads for with out good roads development of rura, localities will be greatly hindered.
 Therefore, it is the duty of every voter to look into the merits ot 1 Amendment No. 10 so that he may vote upon il intellignetly. It has al,

OUR SORE SPOT.

The Panama canal will be of but little service to the United States eX cept for warships and the coasting trade, if the American merchant ma fine is to be continued in the decrepid state that Republican policies have cies prevailed the United States had the finest merchant ships afioat and our Baltimore clippers were seen on every sea. But persistent tariff pro- lection for infant industries and es- pecially for the shipbuilding trust, has driven our flag from the oceans by making it unprotitable for Americans to build and own ships for foreign trade. It costs 30 per cent. or more, !, build a ship in the United States than it does in England, but the law vii. not allow prospective ship ownsr to buy his ship where he can buy 1tcheapest. so he cannot compete With tn. cheaper built foreign ships.
 The Republican policy is to over
 
 by paying subsidies to American ships either as dire>t ship subsidy or as an extra subsidy for carrying the mails to foreign DOTS.
 Under such policie. our taxpayers are doubly taxed. They pay the tariff tax on all they buy, einer to the government on imported guods or to the trusts and manufacturers who can demand high prices for their products because they are protected by the tar if from competition from abroad Then the taxpayers would also have t0 pay the ship subsidy as well as the freight. so that both these expenses would make the freight rate by an American ship much higher than the rate charged by foreign ships.
 How can the American merchant marine prosper under such condi- tions? Instead of paying subsidies, why not try free trade in ships, so Ehat anyone can buy ship and sail It under the American flag?
 ''The United States will never have a profitable merchant marine until the tariff is revised so that it would not weigh heavily on that industry. With free ships and tariff for revenue only, American pluck and ingenuity would successfully compete on the sea with all nations.-Hot Springs Daily News.
