STAMPEDED
 AND WOMAN IS KILLED

Riverside, Cal April 16-As a result of fire which started today at the Standard Oil companys storage tanks, herd of elephants was stampeded, L. J. Worsley lies at the city hospital fatally burned and Miss Ella Gibbs, church deaconess, is dead
 Worsley was a driver of the delivery wagon from which the fire was com- municated to the tanks which exploded, and he was hurled many yards from the spot. The flames spread to the tanks which instantly became a mass of flames.
 A circus three blocks distant was absut to open for the afternoon performance. The explosion and the fire caused the showm6n to lower the tents after dis perslng the crowd which had assembled. The herd of elephants became uncontroil- able and they dashed to the east side of the town, knocking down fences, out houses and despoiing orchards that lay in the path Many persons narrowly. es- capped the infuriated animals. All but the largest of the elephants was soon round- ed up. The leader of the herd then changed his course toward the city. one

Government To Find Work.

The greatest employment agency in the world has been recently established at Washington. So writes Rene Cache in the Technical World magazine for May. It is conducted by the government, and it's business will be to find work for every body. Jobs for over 100000 immigrants from foreign lands have to be obtained somehow every year. and Uncle Sam pro- poses to take general charge of this enor- nous task. But, in addition, great num- bers of native-born American citizens are in want of suitable or permanent occu- patton, and in their behalf the federal organization intends to make use of all it's vast facilities, with view to enabling bread and butter
 It is very desira ble to find something for the foreigner to do-to get him away from the large centers of population, where he has tendency to stagnate and form col onies with others of his kind and to ship him off to some place where his labor is really wanted, and where he will have chance to live and to bring up his chil- dren under favorable conditions In big city he dwells in slum and is liable to be d nuisance, if not menace.

mile distant, and entered the court of the famous Glenwood hotel. Miss Gibbs was in the yard in front of the house. The elephant pinned her against the house with his tusks, threw her to the ground and trampled on her, crushing her chest so that she died at 10 o'clock tonight. The animal then proceeded to the doorway, the guests running panic-stricken n- doors. D. P. Chapman, a guest of the house, attempted to swerve the animal from the court. He was knocked down and had several ribs broken and other wise injured.
 The beast crashed through the door, walked through the barber shop and out on the main street, crossed the street and crashed through the heavy plate glass window in store. Before being rounded up at a downtown public stable the ami nal trampled on another man and se- riously gored him with his tusks.
 One of the keepers attempted to subdue the animal, but was hurled over a high fence, sustaining painful injuries.
 The fire at the oil tanks continued through the afternoon and 60,0O0 gallons of oil was consumed The loss op oil was s7OOO and the loss on the buildings $4000.

EXTRAORDINARY TALE 0F SICK
 CHILD AND BURIAL AT SEA

New York, April 18-An extraordinary tale of the burial at sea of child which may have been alive when thrown over board was told by the officers of the steamer Statendam when that vessel ar rived today from Rotterdam. The child is said to have been thrown overheard by her own mother, Mrs. Bertha Lzibik, of Poland. She was coming to this country with two children, the youngest of which is Elsa, about year old.
 On the way over the child was taken i'll with convulsions, and in about an hour was apparently dead. The other passen- gers of the steerage objected to the pres ence of the body on board. and informed the mother that unless the child was thrown overheard a storm would ovef- whelm the steamer. About midnight the body of the child was thrown into tine Sea.
 Officers of the steamer soon discovered what had happened, and the ships sur geon who made inquiries is said to have expressed the fear that the child was merely in a comatose condition, and might have been revived under medical treat ment. MT. Lzibik was taken to Ellis Island.

A. Porteous, local manager of the Postal Telegraph com pany, and T. P. Cummings, manager of the Western Union here. Both had told Congressman Broussard, who conducted the New Orleans investigation. that they could not comply with his request to pro- duce telegrams sent or received here re- gently by J. c.

to help native-born Americans. The south ern states, for example, need labor, and there has been a strong movement in favor of turning the stream of aliens in that direction. But a more mature consideration of the subject has brought conviction that it would be much more desirable to send to that part of the coun- try the Americans who are to be found at the present time in multitudes elsewhere looking for job.
 With this introduction MT. Bache tells of the most important experiment now actually in progress at Washington. It is something new under the Armament for a government to undertake to find work for citizens, and the enterprise is world wonder, which is making the anti-social- ists gasp.
