When the board Of police commits
sioners met last night, Policeman Will
liam Schoeni was allowed to appear be-
fore the board and tell his reasons for
resigning, which, according to his own
statement. was principally due to the
actions Of Acting Lieut. Roberts to-
ward him. The board also received a
letter from Oscar F. Carter. in which
Mr.. Carter complained that the police
failed to investigate a robbery at his
place last month until twenty-four
hours after he had reported it.
The meeting was attended by Mayor
Pan, who presided, and Commissioners
Fisher, Bryan and Oehlert. The board,
after hearing Mr.. Sehoenis statement.
accepted his resignation. but took no
action on his charge against Acting

him ii he wanted bottle of beer fol-
lowing a raid August q last on an al

zoo SPOTTED HYENA
EATING HIMSELF UP
Aged Beast Is Committing
Slow Suicide by Chewing
His Hind Leg.

An unusual spectacle Of progressive
suicide is afforded in the lion house OF
the National Geological garden.
The spotted hyena, bent on self
slaughter. is slowly drinking it's own
blood. A few days ago the animal, a
gift of Adam Forepaugh in 1895, began
to gnaw it's left hind leg. From the
paw to the middle joint the member
now is raw. The hyena, weakened by
loss Of blood and the drain on its vi
tality, is able to move only with ex-
treme difficulty.
IF it doesn't stop gnawing itself
pretty soon," said a keeper, ut will
have to be shot, for it will be in such
a state of physical exhaustion that
this will be the only merciful course.
That the animal is demented is the
belief Of the caretakers. Several years
ago another hyena similarly attacked
itself, chewing at its side until several
ribs were exposed. 1t was shot to re-
lieve it of its sufferings.
The leg-eating hyena developed an odd
trait several years ago. At intervals it
ping at it's hind leg. The act was con-
sidered freakish. but as the leg always
escaped injury the habit was not given
serious thought. 1t was only a. few days
ago that the fangs began to reach home
and draw blood.
Lying quietly. with an uncanny, baleful
glare, suggestive of jungle dementia, the
hyena suddenly turns upon himself and
with mutterings of rage and pain chews
the offending leg. Becoming calm, he
laps his self-imposed decorations during
indefinite intervals.

.DULANEY ACQUITTED
ON BRIBERY CHARGE
A Partisan Jury Assisted by Partissn
Judge Set Dulaney Free But the
People Have Not Changed
Their Minds

/ A partisan jury Saturday morning,
after being out twenty-six minutes. re-
turned verdict that L. C. Dulaney
was not guilty Of having given State
Senator 7. G. Bilbo bribe for chang
ing his vote from Vardaman to Percy
for United States Senator.
The result has been almost confident
/ ly expected ever since Sheriff Harris,
anti -Vardaman officials, summoned the
venire and great anti-vardaman ma
jority was obtained on the panel.
| The element of doubt was almost re-
moved when Judge Henry, in every
possible way favored the contention
Of the defense and ruled out some Of
the most important testimony that the
District Attorney had gathered.
Judge Henry, for instance ruled, that
no proof would be permitted to show
there had been a criminal conspiracy.
Further he permitted Bilbo's character
to be attacked without allowing the
state to introduce character witnesses
in behalf of the states main witness.
| The instructions favored the defense
in every possible manner, and some Of
the important testimony submitted by
the state was ruled out.
Judge Henry is a Noel appointee.
Before the trial he was heard to say
that he would not believe Bilbo under
use l. \

CLOSING SESSION OF

Large Audience Present to Witness
Closing Session of Republican
Power-Champ Clark Given
Big Ovation

The closing session of the ;ixty-frst
congress opened at noon Monday. No
business was transacted, both branches
meeting merely to appoint joint COM
mittee to formally apprise the president
that the legislative branch of the gov
ernment was ready to proceed, to call
the roll of members and to adjourn af-
ter adopting resolutions to the memory
of those members who had joined the
vast majority since congress last met.
Thensual animation marked the open
ing in both senate and house, but the
reunion of old legislative friends was
tinged with sadness because of the
heavy toll death had taken among their
number in the last lew months. In
consequence, the senate was in session
only quarter of an hour, while the
house occupied fifty minutes before
Speaker Cannon declared it adjourned
until tomorrow. The members, like
schoolboys released from school room,
then poured from the capitol to face
