Manager Browns Youngest Is His
Tanner, and He Goes Around
on Wheels.

Speaking OF zoos-Atlanta' menag-
erie at Grant Park has a compefi-
tor at the Kimball House, where Mas
ter Edward Brown, Jr.. son of the
manager, entertains the hotel guests
with exhibitions OF perhaps the
strangest alligator ever in captivity.
While Master Browns specimen has
eyes that look pretty much like any
alligator's optics, and teeth which are,
at least, as sharp and altogeth ,r
as ferocious looking as the molars OF
the most dangerous OF the Florida
saurians, it has something else which
absolutely no other alligator ever
captured could boast of-and that Is
wheels.
In fact, the Kimball House masco;
moves about the lobby on these ve-y
wheels. two Of which are attached 70
the sides of the body and the other
underneath.
As a result of the perfect adjus.-
ment Of this ball bearing portion OF
the alligators anatomy il is only nee
essary for the proud owner to pull the
string which is tied to the animals
nose to start him off on his tour .:
the lobby.
And this, as the guests testify Mas
ter Edward doesn't fail to Go to his
own hearts content, as well as to the
amusement Of the lobbyists.
The Kimball ALLIGATOR has the add,d
distinction Of having been imported
to his country from Japan. where. it
is said. there are lots of others just
like him. -
Japlike. the species is very tough
and hardy, 5 amply proved by the
fact that Master Edward. who is just
IS months old has had him in cap
tivity now since last Christmas.

RECIPROCITY IS
NOW FAVORED
IN CANADA
Toronto World in Editorial Urges
Removal of Duty on Wheat
and Flour,

TORONTO. ONT, Oct 6.-The
Toronto World. in lis Sunday issue
had front page editorial urging the
Canadian Government to suspend tn.
duty on wheat and flour imported
from the United States The duty
can be suspended by order in coun-
Gil, but the tariff can only be changed
permanently by act of Parliament.
The attitude taken by The World
will be of greater significance be-
cause that paper bitterly fought the
reciprocity arrangement of 1911. as
did its editor and proprietor, w. F.
MacLean. NJ p, who has been in
Parliament since 1892.
The World said:
In the interest of the Canadian
Western farmer the Borden Govern
ment should forthwith suspend the
duty on wheat anu flour and by that
act secure free entry of Canadian
wheat and flour into the States. There
are several reasons why it should be
done
FIRST, the farmers want it. With
the new tariff in the States and our
withdrawal of the du,y on wheat and
flour there vii. be a realization of
the alleged benefits of reciprocity
free trade in foods and some natural
products) without the alleged po-
itical dangers annexation or fiscal
Gictation from Washington. Both
sides on the reciprocity fight ough:
now to be satisfied
Second, il may compel Canadian
buyers and Canadian mills, If they
want Canadian wheat, to compete
with the buyers of the United States.
Third, it may force the Canadian
Pacific Railway 10 reduce its freight
rates in order to hold the business
for Canadian rails and steamship
lines"

Ruling Of Supreme Court on Re-
shipping Case to Decide
Feud With Nashville.

Decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court in the famous reship-
ping privilege case which has precipi-
tated a bitter contest between At
lanta and Nashville is expected on
October 20. Other rate cases of far
reaching Importance are expected also
on this day.
The cases involving the reshipping
privilege has been the cause of bad
feeling for several years.
The Nashville shippers, it is al
legged. have been allowed to unload
grain from the Northwest, keeping it
in Nashville six months, and then re-
ship 1t on a through rate. while such
a privilege has not been allowed in
other Southern cities The Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, the road in
volved, defended its action on the
grounds that it was necessary to meet
competition on the Cumberland River
Should the case be decided adverse
ly to the railroad it probably will
mean the investment of several thou
sand dollars in granaries in Atlanta.
Another important case which prob
ably will be disposed of on October 20
is the Kentucky rate case. involving
rates on distillery supplies.
Among other cases which are about
ready for disposition is the case of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, in
vOlving the Georgia law requiring
headlights.
