BABY LIONS ATTRACT
THOUSANDS TO PARK
Cubs Are In Splendid Condition, but
Lloness Apparently Does Not
Relish the Existing Ar.
engagements

The two baby lions born at Eastlake
park zoo two weeks ago and exhibited
to the public for the first time yester-
day proved a great attraction. AMI
NAL Keeper e. b. Rice estimated that
between 5000 and 5000 persons visited
the park for the purpose of seeing
them.
The foster mother proved as great
an attraction as did the cubs, and the
large crowd had the rare opportunity
of watching dog feed and protect the
little lions with as much maternal care
as though they were her own puppies
The lions, which were born two
weeks ago yesterday, have been in the
care of the dog since a few hours after
their birth, and they evidently do not
know the difference. Their claws have
been closely cut so that they cannot
injure their protector.
THE cubs have grown rapidly, weigh
a little over six pounds and are as
lively and playful as two kittens. They
frolicked about yesterday afternoon as
though they were well accustomed to
the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes,
The watchfulness of the mother dog
was amazing, and so Jealous was she
in her care of the adopted cubs that
an angry growl greeted any person
who took too much freedom with them.
While the crowd was watching the
cubs, Kitty, the handsome lioness who
is their mother, strutted about her
cage, emitting threatening roars, as
though realizing that she was being
cheated out of what rightfully be-
longed to her.
The crowd was the largest that has
visited the park this season, and the
cubs were exposed in a small cage in
the center of the grounds outside the
animal cages in full view of ALL 1t
required the services of three police
men to keep the spectators on the
move.
Keeper Rice stated that the cubs
would be kept with the dog for six
weeks longer, unless they should be-
come unruiy. BY that time they will
be able to feed themselves and will
have grown to such an extent and de-
veloped such appetites that the dog
would be unable to provide sufficient
nourishment.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
HAVING DRAWN REVOLVER
Quarrel with Negro Over Care of
Automobile Lands White Man
in Custody

HOLLYWOOD, March 2S-Fred Tay-
lor, brother of T. w. Taylor, proprie-
tor of the Hollywood garage, was ar
rested here this morning on two diff
ferent charges. He gave bail for his
appearance tomorrow morning, when
his preliminary hearing will be held.
1t seems that the Hollywood has two
automobiles, both of which are kept at
the Hollywood garage. WILDER Wilson,
a negro, who works at the hotel, was
sent over to the garage to get one of
the machines. A dispute arose be-
tween him and young Taylor over the
care of the machine, and Taylor drew
a revolver on the negro.
About that time Stanley Anderson
manager of the hotel, stepped in and
attempted to arrest Taylor. The latter
resisted, it is claimed, and a scuffle
took place, in which Anderson tried to
get hold of the gun. Young Taylor
broke loose, and. it is said, turned the
weapon on Anderson. Marshal Lingo
was then called and placed Taylor
under arrest.
The accused was taken before Judge
Herndon on two complaints, one of at
tempting to use a deadly weapon and
the other of resisting an officer, as An
dersOn claims he is deputy marshal.

RECOVER CORPSE OF
YOUTHFUL AERONAUT

Ocean Yields Up Remains of Lester
EIkins, Drowned March 8, When
He Fell Into Water with
Parachute
Correspondent Home STe.
Circulation 1875 bth st.

SAN PEDRO, March 2S.-The body of
Lester Elkins, the 21-year-old aeronaut
who was drowned here March 8, having
made a spectacular balloon ascension
and parachute jump into the ocean a
quarter of a mile east of Deadman' S
island, was recovered this morning by
two fishermen off the trestle of the
Pacific Wharf and Storage company
on the east side of the harbor.
The safety belt had to be cut to re-
lease the body from the parachute, with
which is was entangeld.
Frank Day of 632 South Los Angeles
street and. Josh Parks of Lake Shore
avenue, Los Angeles espied the body
while fishing off the trestle, and with
the help of Fred Nelson, in the launch
Buster b, the body after some trouble
was released from the rocks which held
the ropes of the parachute. An at
tempt was made to drag both the body
and the parachute into the landing, but
the parachute filled with water and had
to be cut loose.
The body was taken to C. A. Lucas
undertaking parlors, where an inquest
will be held. Mayor Walton imme-
diately telegraphed to Mrs. Elkins at
San Antonio, Tex, notifying her the
body of her son had been recovered ana
asking for instructions as to its dis
position.
Much criticism was directed at Man
ager HILL who allowed Elkins. a
stranger to him. to make the ascension
and then provided no boat to look out
for him should he descend into the
harbor The safety belt was forced
on the youthful aeronaut by Hill, and
for some reason it was not taken off
before Elkins hit the water, else he
would in all probability have saved
himself from drowning. as he was sup
posed to be professional swimmer and
high diver.

LONG BEACH, March ga narrow
escape from death by fire was that of
C. II. Martin this afternoon at the
Pacific Electric car barn, where he is
employed. For a few seconds Martin
was a mass of flames. His life was
saved by the prompt action of other
employees, who shed their own coats
and seized cloths and sacks with which
to smother the flames.
Martin was using gasoline to wash
grease off his hands. He stood about
three feet from some blazing torches.
The gasoline on his hands was ignited
by one of them. The man in agony
threshed his arms about, slapping his
hands against his coat and sticking Gis
fingers under his armpits. In this way
the flames spread to his clothing.
Other men, working near. saw the
fiery spectacle and heard the mans
cries of distress Martin was COM
pletely enveloped in the coats and
cloths with which they swathed him,
and he was rolled over and over on the
floor. His face was not burned seri-
ously and besides the injuries to his
lands he escaped with slight injuries.

formed that Austria had accepted Sir

administration at Vienna. but 1t was
fully expected that Austria would ac-

the result.

realized that Austria and Germany
have scored a great diplomatic victory
over the members of the triple entente.

ton agreed upon Servia will announce
that she has no rights with regard to
Bosnia and Herzegovina; that she Is
ready to live on friendly terms with
Austria, and will demobolize at once.
