Steal sread..-

New York.-Animals and birds In
search OF charity need not apply tc
Hattie, an elephant In the menagerie
In Central J. Park, for aid. Hattie
brought her career as philanthropist
to- an end when che killed the three
mfcs she discovered stealing a por
ton of the bread that she had intend
ed IS. Eifs them.
Hattie became known as a creature
Of fads almost from the day she ar.
rived In the menagerie. At one time
she showed fondness for playing on
the harmonica and dancing. With the
assistance OF William Snyder, head
keeper, she mastered these accom-.
plishments. She took pride In the ad-
mfration which her exhibition aroused,
but about a year ago her life as q
performer palled on her.
Her friends among the visitors to
the menagerie are inclined to believe
that she wanted to initiate women of
fashion when she began to dispense
charity to mice by giving bread
crumbs and delicacies which she did
not care to eat. She did not confine
her generosity to the mice, however,
and one Of Mr.. Snyder's dogs found it
to advantage to visit Hatties stall!
when hungry She even permitted the
robins to enter her quarters and feast.
More than dozen mice have made
1t practice to scurry into her stall!
Immediately after her feeding time
ana pick up the crumbs. HaRtie
seemed pleased by these visits and per
mitted the rodents to come and go
when they liked. Three OF the mice
the other day began nibbling at loaf
Of bread in her stall and had feastcd
for several minutes before Hattie no.
ticed them. Then the elephant house
resounded with her cries OF rage.
fhe mice tried to escape. but Hat
tie was too quick for them. While
the, rodents were squealing for mercy
she lifted foot and stamped ont
their lives. Four other mice were in
the stall and ran away when they saw
Hattie kill their companions.-New

New York, Sept. 3-Theo. Durge,
20 years old, had been an active mem.
Der of the Finnish Social and Athletic
club, Brooklyn. Three times week
the organization adjourned to it's field
on Forty-fourth street, between Eighth
and Ninth avenues, to give exhibitions
and hold contests. Durge, who was a
good athlete, never took part in the
games. He said his heart was weak.
For his holding back he was often
chided by his friends.
There was a 100-yard dash on the
program, for which the prize was q
gold medal, and Druge decided to run.
Eight toed the mark and Druge's
friends gave him cheer when they
saw he had decided to make a test Of
his running powers.
At the starting gun Druge got of
in the lead and to the half way mark
held it by slight margin. Then he
spurted and his friends yelled when
they saw he had a chance for the
prize. With final burst of speed he
crossed the finish line victor and
the cheering grew.
Suddenly he stopped, threw up his
hands and fell backward dead The

believed The Hague Court Would
Hardly Be Just to America In
Case Of Submission TO
Tribunal.

London, Sept. Sit is officially an
nounced that the British government
will make formal demand upon the
United States government for arbitra-
lion of it's claim that the Panama can
al toll act, as passed recently by the
United States congress, violates the
Hay-P auncefote treaty.
Nothing definitely is known here BE-
yond the brief official announcement
that the formal demand for arbitra-
ton would be made, but it is believed
that instructions already are en- route
to the British embassy at Washington
concerning the situation.
The British demand will be made
lnder the arbitration convention Of
1908.
President Taft Surprised.
Beverly.-The announcement that
Great Britain will appeal to the Hague
tribunal to settle it's claims of viola
ton Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by
the Panama canal bill came as q sur
prise to President Taft He had heard
reports that such an appeal was con.
templated, but was of the opinion that
the matter would be taken up in the
usual diplomatic way.
The president was not ready to
make an expression about the appeal
to The Hague. 1t was pointed out
here that Great Britain's notice of an.
peal does not mean that the matter
must go to The Hague. The United
States has as much right to refuse to
submit to arbitration as Great Brit
ain has to ask it.
State Department Silent.
Washington.-When informed of the
announcement that the British gov
eminent would make formal demand
upon the United States for the arbi-
tration of the dispute over the Pana-
ma canal, Mr.. Wilson, the acting sec
rotary of state, said he had no com.
ment to make.
That such a demand would formally
be made has been expected in the
state department ever since the sec.
ond note from the British government
The attitude of this government thus
far with relation to the dispute, the
opinion here is general that the Unit
ed States will not yield to the demand
for arbitration of it's right to relieve
Its coastwise shipping from tolls in
the Panama canal without prolonged
diplomatic struggle. In some quar-
ters the opinion is maintained that the
demand will be fatty declined.
