tackled by Animal and Has
Marrow Escape.

New York-Old Smiles, the two
horned rhinoceros In the Central Park
ZOO. was not in the best OF humor the
other day. Hattie, the elephant next
door, had given long talk on WON,
ans suffrage, and Jewel, her brother
had backed her up with trunkful OF
arguments.
When Billy Snyder, the head keeper,
went to give Old Smiles his annual
smear, the rhino was ready for war,
He did not feel any more kindly when
he was roped and trussed to one OF
the bars.
The only entrance to the cage is q
door in the back, which never has
been unlocked since the rhiuoceros
was put behind the bars. Snyder
reached the top of the cage by means
OF long ladder. then lowered another
ladder into the cage.
Old Smiles tugged at his esountil
he got free. The keeper jumped
around the cage He made the ladder
and scampered for the top. Rhino was
not to be fooled SO easily. He rushed
for the ladder and threw Snyder into
the air, but the keeper, much to his
and Old Smiles surprise, landed on
the back of the rhino.
Snyder made Jump for the ladder,
and his assistant, Bob Hurton, stuck
a pitchfork into Old Smiles. The AMI
NAL was kept at bay until the keeper
escaped. Then Old Smiles was trussed
up again and his annual toilet was
made, despite his protestations. He's
new for another year.

which he happens to be. He will not
leave the bridge day or night during
fog so long as the fog whistle is kept
sounding. He is also just as fussy about
not leaving the bridge during the passage
in and out of port, and he always keeps
close to the captain during these trying
times.
He was the mascot of the Indravelli
and the Indrasamba before going to the
lndTani. His experiences have been
many, varied and trying. The champion
dog ocean traveller once fell forty feet
into the hold of the Indravelli and it was
feared he was killed, but within a few
days he was up and running about the
deck again.

with sensational circumstances. Miss
Dorothy Bamberger, who had just arrived
from New York, where she attended
school, received letter telling her to meet
the sender at a local hotel, where she
should give $1,000 in cash in order to
avoid danger to herself. The letter was
crudely written on a typewriter and many
words were misspelled. At the bottom Of
the letter was drawing of a suitcase
hlled with dynamite, with notations show
ing that certain diagrams were meant to
be batteries, a spark coil and contact
wires. Cummings has admitted that he
made the drawings on the letter.
Miss Bamberger turned the letter over
to detectives, who instituted trap which
resulted in the capture of Cummings.
Cummings was caught as the result of
telephone conversations. Miss Ram
berger was called by telephone at her
apartments in the Hotel Utah nv one
who said he was "Mr. Mccormick" The
threatening letter was signed Games Nc
Cormick." She was told to keep the man
on the line as long as possible, and the
detectives traced the location of the
telephone used by the supposed ''McCor-
mick" and in that way Cummings was
captured.
He at first denied all connection with
the Black Hand letter. He later admitted
that he made the drawings on the letter.
but declared that he had been the cats
paw of another. He said the prevaili=g
mind in the affair had been man named

effort was made to locate Burge The
effort proved fruitless.
Miss Bamberger is an ardent lover of
dogs. She recently exhibited her prize

very little of that, and said he was a
confirmed smoker Of cigarettes. While
