NEED THE WH|SKEY
Monkeys Can't Endure Gil
mate without a Daily Sip.

Monkeys must have whisky in cold
weather to keep them alive. Ed Hollarn
superintendent of Glen Miller park
has given the subject considerable
study. He has the opinion of many
keepers of animals in the big zoologi
cal gardens, and they all say that it is
the only diet that will preserve mon
keys health in winter
The monkeys in the zoo are not
confirmed tipplers, but they do relish
a little liquor daily. 1t is held that the
whisky warns them. 1t is given them
for it's medicinal virtues.
The superintendent has had several
conversations with temperance work
ers since it first became known that
whisky was fed the monkeys, and he
has explained at length why he adds
the booze to the daily diet of mon
keys.

A REPORT ON PARKS
.s513.o8 Expended on Up
keep of Recreation Places.

Ed Hollarn, superintendent of the
city parks, in his report to the board
of public works, asked for an appropri-
alton of $50 necessary to repair a
house belonging to the city in Starr
park. He also reported that he found
the city parks in good condition.
His report showed the expenditure
of 1913 IS on the city parks in Novem-
Der. OF the amount s325.20 was spent
for labor Meat for the animals cost
$10s5. The balance was spent on re-
pairs and for the upkeep of the amuse-
ment and recreation places.
Three large gold fish seen in the
receding water of the lake at Glen
Miller park evaded the efforts of the
keepers to capture them and place
them in a small aquarium. The park
keepers were surprised at the pres
ence of the fish and say they are of
large size. ID

Tenth-That it has not only used

How the Work Is Done.
The House delegated to the Commit
tee on Banking and Finance the duty
of making this investigation. This
committee appointed a subcommittee
consisting of nine members to carry on
the actual work.
This committee was composed of
congressman, Pugo (chairman), of
louisiana; Brown, of West Virginia !;
Nelly, of Kansas; Byrnes, of South
Carolina; Dougherty, of Missouri;
Hayes, of California and Head, of
Delaware.
The subcommittee began at once to
gather data on which to base it's in
quiries, and to prepare list of wit
nesses. On April "a, 1912, the scope of
the investigation was greatly widened
by the adoption of second resolu-
tion which empowered the committee
to compel the attendance of witnesses
and to compel the officers Of financial
institutions to divulge the secrets of
their business organizations. In the
latter part of April Samuel Untermyer,
a New York lawyer, and Judge Edgar
H. Farrar, of New Orleans, were ap.
pointed by the committee as special
councillors to direct the investigation
and the examination of witnesses.
A long list of the latter was prepar.
ed and on June 9th the committee be.
gan to take testimony in New York
The first witness called was William
Sherer, president of the New York
Clearing House. Sherer was quizzed
as to the duties of his organization

that would show that the clearing
house is an integral part of the money
trust.
