APE ESCAPES FROM PARK,
DEV0URS PET CANARIES
Animal Swings Through Windows
and Drags Birds from Cages

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Con-
sternation reigns in the homes in the
vicinity of a local amusement park
and the death rate among pet canaries
has risen by leaps and bounds since
the escape two days ago Of a big ape
named Jacquez.
The animal is haunting the roofs of
the neighborhood, stealing into win
dows at night to drag singing birds
from their cages and devour them.
Unavailing efforts to capeure him have
been made by park employees and po-
lice and the order for his execution
has now gone forth. The patrolmen
on the beats thereabout are lingering
their revolvers with thoughts of the
slaughter in mind, for the edict has
been issued that Jacquez be shot on
sight.
Half a dozen women have been driv-
en- into Mysteries by waking in the
night to discover the ugly beast to be
swinging in at their windows and yes
terday detail of police marched and
countermarched over roofs for hours
in an effort to entrap him. Because OF
their failure and the increase in the
number of pranks in which the ape has
figured, the shoot on sight order has
been given.

s. P. STICKS To FIRST
PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT
Railroad Proposes to Enter Qua
daIajara-Great Country
to Be Opened

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 22.-"The
Southern Pacific has not changed its
plans for entering Guadalajara. The
Jalisco capital is the present objective
point in the construction of the South
ern Pacific extension, and there VIII De
no avoidable delay in establishing the
Guadalajara connection. The report
that a decision was recently reached
to build, instead, from Tepic to a con-
nection with the National Railways at
Manzanillo is absolutely without foun-
dation.
1--WE now have a traffic arrangement
with the National Railways of Mexico
for the operation of Southern Paclhc
trains over the Ameca line of the Ma
tional from Orendain to GuadalaJara,
distance Of twenty-five miles. The link
of the Southern Pacific now in opera
ton in Jalisco connects with the Ma
tional at Orendain. Later we expect to
enter into an agreement for the opera
tion Of Southern Pacific trains over the
National line between GuadalaJara and
Mexico City"
The above statements were made by
Col. Epes Randolph, head of the South
ern Pacific interests in Arizona anu
Mexico, in this city yesterday.
Discussing the progress of the South
ern Pacific extension, Cal. Randolph
said:
"Grading has been completed to Jesus
Maria. a point about half way between
the Santiago river and the Tepic capt.
tai. Track has been laid for portion
of the distance. With the close or the
RAINY season construction will be
pushed. and we expect to be running
trains in to the city Of Tepic In about
four months. ,
"Our engineers have just completed
their work in the barrancas of the ST.
ezra Madre, near the Jaltsco-Teplc
boundary. -Four lines have been locat-
ed, the maximum grades being nVe-
tenths, IL and per cent. Construc-
ton estimates will be now prepared.
and when a definite decision is reached
as to the lines to be built, cal ior
bids will be issued. 1t is propaple
that the per cent line VIII De con-
structed. ~,
"The crossing OF the barrancas will
necessitate some of the heaviest CON
gtruction in the history of railroad
building in Mexico, and the cost Will
be correspondingly high. However, the
Guadalaiara connection is necessary 10
complete the West Coast line and open
the interior markets of the republic 10
the west coast products More tnan
that, the federal concession under
which we are building calls for the ope-
ration of trains in and out Of Guadala-
lara. The abandonment of the Guada-
laiara line never has been considered.
Col. Randolph says he is confident
the west coast territory-that tributary
to the West Coast route Of the Southern
Pacific-can produce foodstuffs to feed
20 .OOO, 900 of people, or twice the pres
ent population Of Mexico.

OFFER $4,000 TO AVIATOR
WHO REACHES 10000 FEET
Birdmen Prepare for Arctic Cold
of High Attitudes

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The offer of
a special prize Of $4,000 to the aviator
who will rise 10000 feet at the coming
international meet to be held here in
October is being considered by conti-
mental air men and army officers with
closest attention.
In Paris it is predicted that either
Leon Morane or Georges Chavez will
win the prize in a high powered Bile
riot machine. Chavez already holds
record of 8495 feet made in Europe.
Soundings of the upper air have
81 own that at two miles height the
air currents have an average speed of
Ga miles an hour. Going down the wind
an aeroplane with a speed of so miles
an hour would then be capable Of
travelling at the rate Of 125 miles an
hour with fuel only for 60 miles.
The aviators will rise dressed for
arctic cold. They will wear snug suit
Of leather lined with fur and a he'll
met like that of a diver with small
breathing holes over the forehead and
around the sides of the face. The
front will be closed by concaVe glass
which will allow free observation. The
ears will be left exposed to catch the
clatter of air motions.
In his last high flight Chavez said
he felt as if he were bleeding at the
nose. Morane nearly lost consciousness
from the cold. Both now insist on
better protection.

room the local armory, Eighth and

militiamen last night at 8 o'clock. The
body was cold and life had probably
departed several hours before.
Though it is possible the gun was
accidentally discharged, the police are
Of the opinion that it was a suicide.
There was no indication that he had
been cleaning the rifle. 1t is the rule
of the militia to inspect guns after
target practice and it is hardly prob
able that loaded cartridge had been
left in the gun.
From the position of the body when
discovered, Mytton, when the gun was
fired, was seated with the butt OF
the gun on the floor and the muzzle but
a short distance from where the bullet
entered about three inches below the
heart on the left side of the body. The
clothing where the bullet entered was
powder burned. The bullet took an
upward course, coming out in the small
of the back.

years in the local militia Previous to
coming to California he had a military
career in Mississippi, where he served
twelve years in the national guard and
one year in the Mississippi volunteer
infantry. In these years of military
service he attained the rank of cap

GET 4 DRINKING CANE.
It Will Enable You to Keep Sidewalk
After Round of Treats.

PARIS. December GA French in
ventor has hit upon a peculiar device for
combating the drink evil. This is the
thirsty cane" Why do men drink? Be-
cause other men insist on standing them
drinks. Many a big business deal is
done over 4 glass, nowhere more so than
in French cafes, and drummers would
lose half their custom II they refused an
appetizer offered by customer, to whom
they must OF course stand another in re-
turn. The cane makes them temperate
by drinking for them. Here is the in
ventor's description of it:
1.-THE cane is hollow. The handle is
pierced with several holes and a rubber
tube inside forms a sypl1on. The air be-
ing expelled, the liquid is sucked up. The
cane is enptied simply by turning a valve
and the liquid absorbed can be poured
into the street on leaving the saloon"
The cane is warranted to hold from six
to ten aperitifs, according to size. 1t is
simple to use, as the top need only be
put into the liquid at intervals when the
other man is not looking. The hollow
cane reminds one Of the yards of ale"
Of medieval England. The yard was q
glass measure three feet long. At one
end was q bulb holding about half pint,
at the other was a trumpet-shaped
mouthpiece. and the two were connected
by thin tube. The task, no easy one.
was to drink the vessel dry without
spilling drop and at a single draught.
