NEW ALMSHOUSE MAY BE BUILT
 BY DIRECT TAX
Board of Charities Plans Confer ence With Board of Ap-
 pOrtiOnment

The Board of Charities has de- finiteIy dropped the project of secur- ings funds from a. bond tssue for the construction of a new a1mshouse, and convinced by the defeat at the last election of the proposition to bond the city that the voters are unAlter- ably hostile to the scheme, have now decided to take up the matter of building the proposed new a1mshouse through funds obtained by direct on the present property of the city instead of on PaIfsade avenue, as has been contemplated.
 With this end in view, the board voted to leave to the president, F. w.. Behrens, arrangements for a joint meeting with the board of apportion- ment to discuss ways and means of getting the necessary funds. At the meeting of yesterday, A. s. Meloy, architect. showed plans for the build ing which he made for a special al- dermanic committee.
 3 A communication from City Attor- ney John s. Pullman showed that the recent vote as well as another vote which had been contemplated, order ed by the common council or the mayor. has merely moral effect, nothing legal, because of lack of au- thority from the charter. in such matters
 The board authorized the expendi- recommended by Superintendent, Johnson tos prevent duplication by private and public charities of the same cases. This plan is contingent upon securing expected cooperation from the Associated charities.

REAL DYNAMITE EXPLOSIONS ARE
 EXPECTED SOON

Indianapolis, Oct 22-Testimony re- Iatingsto real dynamite explosions was expected during the day and in conse- quence when the dynamite conspiracy trial was resumed. there was more of g. crowd in the spectators section than at any time since the district attors ney'e opening speech. It was believed that Miss Mary Dey would finish her important but mon otonous testimony, today, and then the explosion evidence will begin.
 Miss Dey, continuing her testimony, showed more of the alleged juggling of funds. Figures read and compared by Miss Dey showed that a lot of the money was disposed of by checks made payable to Frank C.. Webb, business agent of the New York City locaA and Herbert s. Hockin. now secretary treasurer of the union Miss Dey's tes- tinaony did not show that these men actually got the money.
 For the 1e0S-o9 fiscal year, Miss Dey's s books showed that Hockin was credited by check for nearly $5,000 while of ficia1 reports, published in the month ly magazine, showed only $2,oo0 paid to hockin. In the same period, cheeks for nearly s4,0o0 were made out to Webb while the official reports credit ed him with little more than s1,ooo-

REMARKABLE MOTION PICTURES OF WILDEST

 lures shown at Park Theatre 4 Are Educational Treat.

There is no more famous big game sportsman in America today than Paul J. Rafney, young man of wealth, who conquered the animals of the Far North before venturing into the Afri- can jungle. MT. Raineys equipped the costly expedition, and with J. C. Hem had previously accompanied on trip to the Arctic, and two big hunters, country-the widest in all Africa-for the purpose of photographing the wild beasts in their native haunts. The thrilling and educational pictures talk theatre for the firet time yesterday and will again be seen tonight and tomorrow with daily natineee. Prof. Edmund Heller of the Smithsonian In- stitute, accompanied the expedition to preserve specimens, and to direct the trap setting when it was found desir- and pr. M. E. Johnstone, Of Lexington, Ky. was also of the party.
 In physique. Paul Rainey is the ideal hunter. Lithe and agile he stands six feet, without a superfIuoue ounce of flesh upon him. His muscles are solid and glance into his cool, gray eye, ever under control Pre-eminently, he is a man to be depended upon in a cris- is. and on many occasions, when the life of the photographer was in danger, his coolness and nerve proved inva1- ua.bIe.
 Next to lion hunting" said MT. Rainey. in speaking of the results of his expedition, 'fbagging the cheetah. or hunting leopard, was the best sport, here our Mississippi hounds were siv- en their full chance. In one morning the pack brought down three of these splendid creatures. and were prevented from tearing them, so that their skins were perfect for the specimen case.
 We got quite number of these leopards, and in every instance we let the dogs finish the job. They never failed, and the lighters of the pack would have torn the beasts to pieces had we let them: The leopard puts up a game fight for time. and cuts and tears with tooth and nail. but our dogs went into them without hesi- tancy, and never failed to come out victorS.''
 The film pertraya1s shown here are the finest specimens of their kind in the world An audience that filled the theatre to its capacity last evening marveled at them. In educational value the pictures are beyond value. Seats are now selling for the remain der. of the en -agenent. pr. Divers remarks in explaining the pictures are very interesting.
