TIGER CUB CAPTURED IN
TEMPLE JOINS N. Y. zoo
New Arrival Has Tourists Trou-
bIes with Customs Officers

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE latest
addition to the Central Park zoo is
brawny tiger cub, captured two
months ago by party of American
naturaIists in the ruins of a 3OOO-years-
old temple at Chichen TIA, Yucatan.
The Americans lassoed the little fel-
low and carried him in a bag on mule
back to Progresso, where he was pre-
sented to Mrs. Marie Wright of Roch-
ellie, n. Y, who was returning to the
United States after spending four
months in Mexico as a delegate to the
Centennial celebration.
The tiger had a hard time on ship
board, being attacked with sickness
and requiring constant care through
out the voyage. Nor were his troubles
over when the ship reached her dock
in Brooklyn. The red tape of the cus-
toms department held him confined to
his narrow box On the pier for more
than twelve days, because of gov
ernment rule that wild animals may
not be imported except by a licensed
dealer
Mrs. Wright finally was told that the
tiger would pass muster If brought for
a public collection. She accordingly
turned over all her rights in her cap
tive to the Central park officials and
they secured his release from detention
at the hands of the customs men.

AMERICAN AGENTS
EXPECT UPRISING
Secret Service Officers on Alert
for Trouble in Towns
Near Mexico
ASSOCIATED Press)

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Nov. H.
Federal secret service officers who have
been working here for the last seVeral
days today learned many details Of the
revolutionary plot in part uncovered
by the Mexican government.
A general rising along the porder
from Nogales, Ariz., to Brownsville
Texas, was set for Sunday, November
20. Nogales is the headquarters of the
iunta operating in Sonora. 1t has been
in existence since the raid on Las va
cas- two years ago. The brains of the
movement are in the United States and
Europe. The revolutionists are backed
by a seemingly inexhaustible supply or
money, which has been used to pur-
chase arms in this country.
Authorities in Washington were ap-
prised of these facts, but as yet the
revolutionists have committed no act
that can be constituted as overt under
the federal statutes. Consignments OF
arms are under surveillance in San An
tonic and elsewhere. When an attempt
is made to take them across the oorder
they will be seized.
According TO federal officers mere
the revolutionary propaganda is; The
release of all political prisoners the
welcoming of all political eXiles; the
establishment of a popular govern
ment; the capture of all customs
houses; removal from office OF Dlaz
and his adherents.

CRIPPEN'S FATHER
ALSO FACES DEATH
AGED Parent of Man Convicted of
Staying Wife May Not Live
Until Execution
VERDICT CAUSES BREAKDOWN
AngeIeno, Dependent on Chari-
table Neighbors, Is Threat
ened with Pneumonia

Myran Crippen, aged father of DR..
Hawley II. Crippen, who was convicted
recently of the murder of his wife and
sentenced to death in London, may not
live to hear the sad news flashed across
the Atlantic that his son has gone to
death on the scaffold. Mr. Crippen is
S3 years of age. He has been ill sew
eral days, and last night the physician
who is attending him said that he is
threatened with pneumonia.
Although confident ever since his
sons arrest that the. latter is inno
cent, Mr.. Crippen has been broken by
the sorrows heaped upon him lately.
He has been unable to work and has
been provided with room and meals
through the kindness of L. n. Frank,
who has charge of a rooming house at
224 South Flower street, and others.
DR.. Lee Burt, who is attending the
man, believes he will not recover.
1.-The old man is penniless and his
circumstances are most pitiable,' said
DR.. Burt last night. His physical
condition. linked with disease and the
worry caused by his sons impending
fate, is more than he can withstand
much longer. He should be put in
hospital"
All through the recent trial of his
son for the murder of his wife the
aged father could be seen lowering
near the newsstands awaiting the re-
ports of the hearing. Those who saw
him daily could see his step grow less
firm and his form bent. He was helped
and looked after by his sympathizing
neiehbors, but the final verdict was too
much.

MOB CLAMORS To
LYNCH JAPANESE
Oriental Throws Stone at Boys
Who Attack Him, and the
Missile Hits Woman
CROWD RESPONDS TO SCREAM
Actor Saves Restaurant Keeper
Who Is MenaCed at Sew
enth and Olive SITS.

Attacked by three youths at Seventh
and Olive streets at o'clock last
night. John Ishiwata, a Japanese res
taurant proprietor of 510la West
Seventh street, hurled a large stone at
his assailants. 1t missed them and
struck Mrs. F. H. Case, wife of a
Santa Ana sugar factory official, who
was walking on the opposite side OF
the street with ]. f. Carroll, a guest OF
the Adams hotel, S32 South Grand ave
nue.. The missile, thrown with great
force, struck the young woman on the
chest inf1icting an ugly wound.
A crowd of seventy-five men and
boys quickly gathered, and before the
woman was taken into corner drug
store they were chasing the Japanese
with cries Of Lynch him!" xiii him!'
String him up!"
Harry Hanlon, a vaudeville performer,
whisked the japanese into the offices
of the Home Telephone exchange and
saved him from rough handling. He
was taken to the police station and
booked on suspicion of assault and will
be held by the police until the woman's
husband arrives from Santa Ana and
decides whether he desires to prose-
cute him.
Mrs. Case was removed to her apart
ments in the Adams hotel. 1t is
thought she has received broken
collar bone and possible internal in
juries.
The Japanese was walking along the
street when three boys, who have not
been found by the police, pounced upon
him. One of them seized him by the
coat collar and rushed" him for sew
eral PAGES while his comrades pelted
him with stones.
Suddenly the youth who was holding
Ishiwata, who is of small stature and
was helpless in the boys grasp, threw
him forward on his face in the street.
No sooner had the Japanese fallen than
the youngsters kicked and beat him.
The Japanese regained his feet, and
fighting fiercely picked up stone and
threw it at his nearest asailane.
The rock narrowly grazed the boys
head and struck Mrs. Case. Her
scream as she sank to the pavement
drew a crowd. Quickly the Word
spread that a japanese had struck a
woman, and with one accord they
closed about Ishiwata. Menaced by
the mob, he ran down the street and
into Hanlons arms. Hanlon placed
the Japanese before him, and facing
the pursuers motioned as though he
would draw a gun They halted for
moment, but still continued their
threats. Taking advantage of the situ-
alton. the actor ran with his prisoner
into the Home Telephone exchange,
with the crowd in close pursuit, and
barring the doors awaited the arrival
of the police. The patrolmen drove off
the mob, and the Japanese was taken
in the patrol wagon to the central
police station.
Ishiwata, who speaks little English,
dramatically went through a panto-
mine illustration of the accident be
fore Acting Lieut.. Long in his private
office The officer ordered him held,
pending a further investigation and to
give Mr.. Case an opportunity, if he so
desired, of filing complaint against
the prisoner.

TO GIVE STUDENTS CREDIT
FOR WORK OUTSIDE CLASS

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Columbia
university is preparing a plan for Civ
ing academic credit for student activ-
ity outside of the classroom, such as
work on the college newspaper and
magazine, debating membership in lit
erary societies. Athletics will not
count.
A year ago President Butler recon-
mended such a course for students not
in athletics. Students who will profit
by the new arrangements are the mem
bers of the editorial board of the
Spectator, the college daily newspaper,
and the editors of the literary MONTH
ly. When the plan is fully worked out
it is probable that students who take
part in college plays will get credit
for their work.

SAYS PARTY
POLITICS UNPATRIOTIC
College President Asserts Ameri-
cans Divided in Factions
Fighting Each Other

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-There is no pat
riotism in party politics and there will
be no real tariff revision until it is
done by an impartial commission, ac-
cording to DR.. Cyrus Northrup, presi-
dent of the University of Minnesota,
who addressed the National Founders
association at it's annual banquet here
last night.
THE great trouble with the American
people," he said, lis that they divide
into two great parties and then fight
each other. When a good measure is
proposed by a good party the other
party does not frankly approve the
measure, and help pass the laws neces-
sary for the adoption of the measure.
on the contrary, it tries to sidetrack
on some technicality, admitting it is
good in intent but not correct in form
all because they are afraid the party
proposing the measure will get too
much credit for it if the law is adopt
ed. That is politics, but not patriot
ism
Take the tariff for example. Unlike
a majority of college officials, especial
ly college political economists, l al
ways have been in favor of protection
and opposed to free trade l always
have believed. and believe now, that
our country has done well to protect
its infant industries.
But when our industrial enterprises
become as strong as many of them now
are, it is absurd to talk any longer
about the protection of infant indus
tries so far as these are concerned,
We all know perfectly well that the
duties on a good many things might be
reduced without any danger to Ameri-
can industrial prosperity; but we are
not in a position to say so frankly,
and get the duties reduced, because
somebody else is working as hard as
possible to keep the duties that affect
his interest as high as they are now.
We cannot afford to have protection
taken from us and let it remain on
other people.
"And so the fight goes on, everybody
resisting q lowering of the tariff as
far as it would affect their own bust
ness"
