ROMEO AND JULIET FIGHT
OVER BREAD-LATTER WINS
Polar Bears in New York Zoo
Battle Until Stopped

NEW YORK, July 17.-An ordinary
cent loaf of rye bread such as can
be purchased in a any German bak-
cry, caused battle between Romeo
and Juliet the two snow white polar
bears, in their steel den at the Bronx
park zoo late this afternoon 1t was
a mighty lively fight while it lasted
and Juliet won. She is big and husky
and she thoroughly trounced Romeo.
Several keepers had to separate the
monsters, using long poles to accom-
plish the task
When the fight started the visitors,
men, women and children, came run
ming from every direction. The roars
of the enraged animals could be heard
all over the park, causing plenty of
excitement. Keeper Spicer summoned
stopping the battle, but only after the
beasts had chewed each other up con-
sideraly. The round which was fought
in the brilliant sunshine lasted about
fifteen minutes. Some $1,000 sports
went out to Reno and burned them
selves to see a prize fight, and, while
it was a good fight from the point of
a spectator, it really was no fight at all
when compared to yesterdays battle
between the big representatives of the
frozen north.
Along about o'clock Keeper Spicer
sauntered up one of the walks pushing
a little red cart which contained plenty
of chuck steak and a dozen loaves of
rye bread All the other bears behaved
as all good bears should, The table
manners proved excellent. They were
not covetous.
It was entirely different with Romeo
and Juliet When Keeper Spicer pushed
his red cart in front of their cage they
came out of the cave and stood on
their hind legs. The first loaf of bread
Spicer tossed over the steel bars landed
near the water pool. The bears made a
rush for it. Romeo placed his heavy
paw on it. This was too much for
Juliet. She nearly exploded with rage.
With a great roar she jumped at
Romeo and chewed off lot of the big
fellows white fur. Then the two rolled
all over the cage, trying to snap each
others head off. Juliet tried to crush
Romeo by wrapping her forelegs about
his huge form. 1t looked pretty serious
for some minutes. Then the keepers,
with poles, appeared and separated the
brutes. Juliet crawled away with the
cent loaf of bread the spectators
cheered and the fight was over
"The moving picture man should
have been here" remarked a teacher
of zoology.

shoulders and glances down at the
bride at his side and exhibits bit of
natural pride, which turns to a sort of
disdain when he encounters the kids
with whom but a few days ago 1t was
his part to play his part in the flying
of the kites to which they still cling
Such things are childish things to him
now and it is with a very superior air
that he passes them by, perhaps deign-
ing to notice them with condescend-
ing nod.
Neither Mr.. Farris, aged 13, nor the
wife of Mr.. Farris are taking much
care of the morrow. Frank has job
as long as tobacco planting lasts. After
that he recxons there will be other jobs
to be had. He has not given much
thought to his life's calling, but he
reckons he will make living all right
Mrs. Farris says they have not de-
clded whether they will stay in Louis
VILE all the time, but they will stay a
while, anyway. She has every conf
dence that in Mr.. Frank L. Farris she
has won a husband who will fight
lifes battles for her and win victories
for her, and that in the years to come
she will have no cause to regret that
she helped him to get an early start.

WOMAN RIDES IN AUTO
TO FACE THEFT CHARGE
Accuse Wealthy Mrs. Mellen with
Being Guilty of ShopIifting

NEW YORK, July 17.-Under the be-
lief that she was held for further ex-
animation before Magistrate Breen in
the Jefferson Market court, Mrs. Abner
Mellen, aged 6S and living in a hand
some home at 81 Riverside drive, ar
rived with her daughter Evelyn and
two men at the magistrates private en-
trance to court shortly after 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, only to be told that
she was not wanted and that her case
would come up before the court of spe-
cial sessions.
Without leaving the automobile, she
was whirled away to a train for the
country where she win take long
rest.
The case of Mrs. Mellen is remark
able. She is reputed to be worth
quarter of a million dollars. Articles
amounting in value to about a dollar
were found in her bag when she was
arrested by Mrs. Brew, special de-
tectiVe in a department store.
1.-The intense heat acting on the nat
uraIlv nervous temperament of this
woman made her forgetful, and she put
the articles into her bag" explained
one of the men who accompanied hey
to court. He said he was Mr.. Warren,
an ex-judge from upstate.
He told a reporter that Mrs. Mellen
would go away in the hope that the in
cident would be forgotten and that she
would regain her lost health.
After her arrest Mrs. Mellen gave her
name as Mrs. Smith of Monticello. But
this was proved false by the woman de-
tective, who said the prisoner was
regular customer at the store and that
she had a deposit account there in
which she carried more than $500 under
the name of Mellen.
Magistrate Breen held her in $500
bail which she was allowed to draw
from her account in the department
store. Mrs. Mellen said at that time
that she would not appear again, but
would forfeit the money given as bail

49 SOCIALISTS NOW IN
REICHSTAG OF GERMANY
Party Scores Fresh Victory in
Hessian Constituency by
Large Majority

BERLIN, July IA fresh Socialist
victory in the Hessian constituency
of Friedberg Budingen by a large ma
jority over the agrarian candidate is
another painful surprise for the gov
ernment and the Black and Blue bloc
of Conservatives and Clericals. This
makes forty-ninS Socialists in the
Reichstag-an increase of six since the
general election.
In three of the newly conquered
seats a Socialist has been returned for
the first time, and in four constituent
ctes there is strong agricultural ele-
ment, which would appear to have sup
ported the Socialist candidates for the
first time. 1t would even appear that
National Liberals hitherto stout sup
porters of the government are waver-
ing in their allegiance. 1t seems pretty
certain that many of them voted for
the Socialist in Friedberg- Budingen,
who was supported also by the entire
strength of Progressive Liberalism.
For the support given to Socialist
candidates at by-elections advanced
Liberals are called traitors to the
kaiser and the fatherland. The So
cialists are undoubtedly conducting
this fight with remarkable force. Their
organization is perfect and they are
avoiding those gross errors of taste
and tact which were so largely re-
sponsible for their defeat in 1906 They
flourish, moreover, as Bebel once said.
by the mistakes of their enemies, and
these mistakes lately have been numer-
Gus and fatal.
Eduard Bernstein, the Socialist
leader, reckons that at the general
election over 100 members of his party
would be returned and that entire
provinces would be swept which had
hitherto shown themselves lukewarm
or actively hostile. The empire, he
said, will not tolerate government in
the spirit of the Blue Black Bloc"

ganized or served by more brilliant

KNEE-WAlSTED GOWNS
START CHATTER IN PARIS
Some Artists Say New Style Ridi-
CuIous-Others Think 1t Fine

PARIS, July 17-Artists are almost
unanimous in expressing their horror
at the latest caprice of fashion as re-
yealed by the knee-waisted dresses
even at the Grand PriX. In series
of interviews 81 Opinion" has taken a
census of the leading French painters
of women on the question.
M. Cheret denounces the knee
WASTED frock, the "robes entraVees, -
as they are called here. "They are
ridiculous" he declares but they will
not last, for a Parisienne will soon
see how wrong she is to cut the lower
part of her outline in two. 1t forces
the wearer to walk without the har-
mony of movement"
NJ. Francois Flameng is even more
emphatic. 'It is simply abominable," "
is his verdict zone would think our
beautiful women were seeking to make
themselves ugly. The style is Outland-
ish and vulgar The moment one di-
minishes the lines of beauty, harmony
and beauty disappear. Still women con-
trive to be beautiful all the same"

Vandara, frankly confesses he always
loves the existing fashion. II loved

least" The journal incidentally mem
tions that M. de Vandara is a great
devotee of fashion. When woman
comes for her portrait he takes her to
a dressmaker's and chooses a costume
that will best suit the style Of beauty
of his model.
Another famous painter of women,
M. Beldini says: "With the 'shackled'
frock am quite content because it is
a fashion. Fashions are always right
in France, but elsewhere 1t is never
quite the same thing"

OLD POLICE HORSE MAY
DIE OF BROKEN HEART

NEW YORK, July 17.-Hesper. the
famous police horse of Westchester
station, once a popular hero at Rock
away, because of the number of res
cues from the surf he helped in, is
dying. His admirers declare 1t is be-
cause of broken heart.
For the last six years down to June
Hesper was ridden by Sergeant Ed
ward West. June / West became a
lieutenant. The horse was transferred
to Sergeant Theodore Hilgeman, who,
at Lieutenant Vests request, was
chosen by Captain McCauley on ac-
count of his being a man of light
weight 1t was noticed at once that
Hesper was no longer his bright old
self. He was brooding, the men said.
Three days ago he fell in front of the
station house. The veterinary surgeons
have since been trying to do all they
know for him. 1t is only when Lieu
tenant West goes into the stable hos
pital the old horse brightens up.

ARIZONA OPENS GOOD ORE
 ON 8OO FEET
Large Force of Men Taking Out Rock and Shipping
 to Ell Paso

A continuation of the man shaft on the s00,foot level of the Arizona Colo rado mine, located about three miles north of Globe, has opened part of the ledge, at that depth, containing high grade copper ore, with a large content of sulphur and iron. The copper occurs in the form of ehalcopyrite, and some excellent specimens of the "peacock p variety were brought to town yesterday by President Homer Crumrine, of the arizona Colorado Copper Belt & Gold Mining & Milling company. Although assays of this ore have not yet been completed, there is lite doubt that much of it will run as high as 25 per cent copper. The point at which this encouraging development was made in the Arizona Colorado mine is at a dis tance of about 105 feet from the cross cut leading south from the shaft on the S00-foot level. There is every req son to believe that the ore body recent ly opened will prove to be extensive and of the same high grade as exists in the present breast of the drift.
 Since the completion of the ore bins at the shaft on the Arizona Coloraao q ipltS VI Hltii HuS Dtfu dt work extracting ore from the 800. foot level and making up a shipment wh&ch will be sent to the Fl Paso shelter. An. other shipment will soon be sent for test treatment to the Old Dominion re. duction works
 The recent developments in the Ari- 2Ona Colorado mine afford ample ground for the belief that Tn the course of the next few months this property will as sume very important position in the mining industry of the Globe district. President Homer crumrine. who is making prolonged stay in Globe and Is visiting the mine almost daily. is very much gratified at the recent favorable turn w.nch developments have taken, and considers it by no means improba- ble that, before long, an addition may be made to the working force for the purpose of advancing the development work as rapidly as possible. and placing the mine on sound, operative basis.

OLD DOMINION WILL SOON RUN FULL

Although the force at the Old Do mnion mine is considerably smaller now than 1t was before the accident at the ''A' shaft one week ago. it will probably be only few days until the regular ,oree of underground employees will be back at work.
 The management expects to have the hoIstng machinery from tho ''"'' sLae. installed in the place of the wrecked hoist within the next ten days, and then the production of the mine will he raised again to the regular tonnages The hoist being installed is smaller one than the one formerly used, but it is sufficiently large to 0o the work tenn porarily. The supply O. ore in the bins at the shelter is sufficient to keep the smelter tonnages up to the regular amount for several days longer, and with the ore urnished by the remain ing hoist, no difficulty will be expert enced in maintaining the snielter output until the smaller one can be put in com. mission. With the exception of the wrecking of the hoist, very little dam age to the machinery and engine house was done. The shaft timbers wer, hardly damaged at all,

GEORGE THAYER |S ARRESTED FOR
 ISLANDER
Admits Authorship of Letter to Girl Couched iii Most
 Vile Language

Admitting the authorship of letter so vile that no essential part of it can be reproduced, George E. Thayer Miss Lupe $. Vasquez, a young Span ish woman to whom he sent the missive
 Thayer was arrested yesterday on another charge, that of striking another Spanish woman, known as opedI Gal- lego. He had hardly been brought before Judge Hinson Thomas on this charge when he was informed of the second charge which had been filed against him.
 He gave bond in the sum of $500, with Mrs. Perry Morgan and w. C. Sheftall as sureties, to insure his ap- Pearance in court early this week tor trial.
 From the contents of the letter, Thayer and Miss Vasquez, who bears a very good reputation, had been friendly for some time, but had apparently quar- reled. In the letter Thayer asked for the return of some letters, post cards and other articles which Miss Vasquez had received from him. The remainder of the letter was made up mainly of vilifications of the character of Miss Vasquez and the Gallego woman, who are apparently acquainted.
 When questioned by Judge Thomas, Thayer admitted that he wrote the let ter. He claimed, however, that he had not sent it through the mails. Ques- toned further, he admitted that he had throwu the letter upon the porch of house occupied by Miss Vasquez.
 He seemed to be very much surprised when informed by the court that he faced felony charge which might lead to fine of several thousand dollars or several years imprisonment in the pen itentiary.
 Thayer also admitted that he struck the Galiego woman. He claimed, how ever, that she had insulted him in the presence of two women with whom he was talking. He has not been arraigned on this charge as yet.

BOSTON MIAMI HAS GOOD LUCK WITH
 CHURN DRILL

The churn drills are making good headway on the property of the Boston Miami Development company, located in the southwestern part of the Miami detriet. The fOrty-twO claims which this company has options on are being prospeeted by means of two Star eburn drills which will explore the most prom. ising portions of the ground before any definite plan is made as to the fu- ture work. About thirty-fve men are employed, most of whom are doing the necessary assessment work.
 If the results of the present work warrant the further development of the property, it is likely that the com pany will begIB work on an extensive scale. The time, however, when the prospecting work will have been suf- feiently advanceG to permit of any def jnjte plans being made, will probably rot be in the near future, as the drills VII explore the property pretty thor ough'Y before the plan of procedure for the underground work is decided upon.
 The five holes drilled so far were started in the granite porpbyry and en- tered the schist vt varying depths. The drills have giveIt satisfactory results thus far, drilling at the rate of from forty to sixty feet daIi5v. All assays are made on the ground ant the returns are said to be favorable to ne future of the property.

OUQyESNE TUNNELS INTO GOOD GOLD
 FORMATION

X fierce of men is employed in driy. ing Ne lower tunnel on the property of the Duquesne Mining company. This tunnel is in gold ore of good commercial grade. and up to date has been driven several hundred feet into the hillside. Work in the upper tunnel is not being pushed at the present time, as the man agemeut desires to make all possible haste in doing the grading necessary for road which will lead from the mine camp to the site of the new yer tical shaft to be put down on the Du- quesne property in the near future. The hill on top of which this shaft will be located makes a very sharp ascent from Gold Gulch. where the company's camp is situated, so that the amount of grad ing to be done before the supplies neees- sary for shaft sinking can be brought on the ground. will be considerable.
 Tine management of the Duquesne Mining company has secured hoist, which will be put in position for sink ing as soon as the road work is com pleted. The vertical shaft will have two compartments, and may be expect. ed to develop an excellent grade of gold ore almost from the beginning of opera, tionS.
 President John F. Shaw of the Du. ouesne Mining company has now prac. ticaIlv perfected plans for advancing the development work on the property in the immediate future, and is planning to take business trip to Pennsylvania January 15.

 The correct name for your trouble is Food Fermentation-foo souring; the Digestive organs become weak, there IS lack of gastric juice; your food is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure and full ness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleep lessness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nervousness, dizziness or many other similar symptoms
 If your appetite is fickle, and nothing tempts you, or you belch gas or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like lump of lead on your stom- ach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one use-fermentation of undigested food.
