APE AND SNAKES CAVORT
Start "Roughhouse" at Animal
Store-Parrot Protests.

Waving a loudly Kissing snake by the
tail, while number OF others glidod
about the room an ape which had broken
out OF his cage IN the animal store a.
the William Bartels Company. at No. a
Cortlandt street, kept at bay Ave police
men. while an excited mob surged around
the door OF the place. To add 70 the din
a parrot which had been chased by the
ape to Il perch on gas fixture hurled
yituperstions at his pursusr.
II was not until the keeper arrived at
the store In feed the animals that the ape
could be persuaded 10 return 10 its cage
and the snakes gathered up. While tho
animal was free he had broken open sew
eral glass cases llberating the reptiles
and had also enjoyed dainty meal Of
rare Japanese goldfish
Patrolman Arras. walking through Cort-
lHndt street, was attracted to tho store
by the large crowd gathered IN front OF a
window. Inside no saw the ape roaming
around. The patrolman sent in call 10
tho Greenwich street station, TO which
Lieutenant Devery and his men respond
ed When they forced IN the door the ape
liberated the snakes.
Fearing they would get out into the
crowd the police closed the door and In
formed the owner OF the store.

FEWER UNION MEN IDLE
Work More Abundant and Less
Time Lost by Strikes.

Albany Oct 13-Monthly returns to the
bureau OF Labor Statistics from lS5 rep
reSentatlve trade unions, with a member
snip OF upward OF ll2,OOO. or e per cent
OF the total union membership in tho
state, indicate considerably less unem-
ployment during the first six months OF
1872 as compared with 1911. The percent
age Of members reported idle for any
cause was lower this year In each month,
so that the mean for the half-year was
1871. as against 24.S last year
a comparison with years preceding 1911,
however, Is not favorable TO 1912, except
in 1908 and 1909, years of exceptional idle
ness following the panic of 1907
The record of strikes and lockouts OF
the bureau of mediation and arbitration
shows for the second quarter of this year
not far from the same number of disputes
and employees involved as last year, but
only about half as much time lost. The
figures are. for this year and last, re-
spectively 50 and Y disputes, So,S9 and
So 962 employees concerned, and ST70T5 and
74l,Sl7 working days lost during the quar-
ter. The largest disputes of the quarter
this year were the strikes OF walters and
furriers IN New York City. these two
alone accounting for almost one-half OF
the employees involved I'm all disputes and
little over one-half of the quarter s
time loss. Fifty OF the eighty disputes
this year were strikes for higher wages,
Accidents during the second quarter OF
the year which were reported to tho De-
partment of Labor numbered 1887. OF
which 1919 were in factories. 20S in mines
and quarrles and 5,68 in building and en-
cheering work. This is the largest num-
Der of reported accidents for single
quarter on record, exceeding the figures
for the second quarter Of last year by
about 5000 for factory accidents and loo
for building accidents. Fatal accidents
are shown TO be much more numerous
IN the building industry than In manu-
featuring.

LION CAN'T SEE JOKE
Dewey, at Central Park, Gets
Stuck Up.

What was uproariously funny for
many spectators in the lion house in
the Central Park menRgeris yesterday
was not 10 humorous to Dewey, one OF
the lions.
Several large wads OF chewing gum
had been tossed into Dewey's cage
The lion investigated. As he did so
the gum stuck TO his nose. Then he
tried to get 1t off with his paws, and
that aggravated matters. As Dewey
got up TO walk around his cage, first
one foot and then the other would cling
to the boards. This made him furious.
and brought peals OF laughter from a
group OF persons in front Of the cage.
When the lion house was closed up
late in the afternoon Dewey was still
trying to figure out the cause Of his
troubles. and was still sticking to the
floor at every step.

NEWARK POLICEMAN SLAIN
Mortally Wounded Near Station
by Unknown Assailants.

Patrolman John ]. McGovern. of the
I'd Police Precinct of Newark, was
mysteriously shot last night in the
street little more than a block from
the police station. Four shots were
fired and two bullets took effect, one
piercing his heart and the other enter
ing his abdomen. He was dead when
the police ambulance reached the City
Hospital with him.
The only story of the shooting the po-
lice have was related by John McCon-
nell, who lives at No. 10 Crane street,
near where the murder took place. He
said he heard the policeman and others
in an argument and looked out Of his
window. He heard four shots in rapid
succession, and saw three men run
through Crane street and disappear in
different directions.
Mcconnell said he believed that Nc
Govern had one OF the trio under ar
rest and the shooting was done by one
OF the other two. 1t was discovered at
the hospital that McGovern's revolver
was missing This led the police 10 be-
lieve that the officer was attacked and
was probably shot with his own gun,
which had been taken from him.
The shooting took place in an Italian
colony. Mcconnell told the detectives
that the men he saw appeared to be
Italians.
McGovern was thirty-fve years old
and was unmarried. He lived at No
1S5 South Orange avenue, and was not
known TO have had any enemies.

MARVELS OF DICTAGRAPH
Mr.. Turner, It's Inventor, Gives
Demonstration Of Possibilities.

X n. Turner. the inventor OF the dicta-
graph. who IL exhibiting the instrument
at the electrical show at the Grand Cen
trail Palace. entertained newspaper men
and other guests yesterday afternoon with
demonstration OF the possibilities OF the
device
The dictagraph Is a small and innocent
looking bit OF mechanism, that can be
implanted In a three-inch cement wall
and yet catch the vibrations OF the human
voice and carry them a long distance 10
the detective at the other end OF the wire.
Mr. Turner had stationed the reporters
at a considerable distance from a sound
proof glass Enclosure. within which he
and his ASSISTANTS held a conversation In
low tones, which could be heard with
great distinctness by the auditors. fifteen
feet away.
Mr.. Turner urged the installation OF a
dictagraph In every public offlciars office,
referring 10 the good that had been ac-
complished by it's use In the conviction
Of Sergeant-at-Arms Diegle OF the Ohio
Senate, the confessions OF the McNa-
maras and the deposing of Lorimer.
since us employment IN tne ue'eSt'""
OF fraud and crime the inventor has so
perfected the dictagraph that CONVERSE
ton can be heard In both directions, 20
that II can be used TO replace the tele-
phone in many instances. It Is especially
adapted to use in large commercial es-
Establishments. Merely by pushing down a
key on switchboard the various depart
ments in q large firm or corporation can
all be brought into immediate communica-
ton at once. without the intermedlation
OF a central switchboard operator.
