STRAY WOLF KILLED IN CITY
Hungry Animal Attacks Several Per

Go to the Rescue.

Kansas City, Feb. 1O.-A big hun
cry wolf was killed by a policeman
in the heart of the southeastern resi-.
Dental district here after it had at
tackled several persons and bitten two,
The animal is believed to have es-
capped from a menagerie, as a piece
of broken rope was tied to its neck,
The wolf leaped upon Miss Anna
Harrison first, grabbed her fur mum
and tore it to pieces. The young wo-
man fed screaming. A negro woman,
wearing a vivid scarf across her shout
ders, came along. The animal sprang
upon her and caught one end of the
sash. The woman caught the other
end and held on. The wolf bit her in
the leg.
Responding to a riot call, two police
men appeared in an automobile. Pa.
trolman T. w. Wright grabbed the
wolf and tried to choke II. The ami
NAL was too quick for him and tore
his hand with its teeth. Wright then
shot the strayed pet" with his pistol
An examination showed the wolf was
not suffering from rabies.

FINDS new SCANDAL IN NAVY
Secretary Daniels Believes
Perkins Was Forced Out.

Washington, Feb. S.-Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels will recommend to
congress within a few days the pass
age of a bill to reinstate in the ms.
rine corps Lieut.. Col. Constantine
Marrast Perkins, who, he has become
convinced, was forced out Of the ser.
vice by a military cabal.
The intention of the secretary has
shaken the navy department to its
foundations. To Senator Hoke Smith
and representative William Schley
Howard of Georgia, advocates OF
Lieutenant Colonel Perkins reinstate-
ment, whom he has advised OF his de-
cision, he referred to Perkins as the
American Dreyius.'
There was no racial prejudice in
this case as there was in the French
army scandal. But the retirement OF
Lieutenant Colonel Perkins, accord
ing to his friends and advocates, was
brought about by a clique Of naval Of
icers who sought to get his place for
q personal favorite. !
Mr.. Daniels decision in the Perkins
case is part Of his general program
Of sending officers to sea, and break
ing up influential military cliQues at
the national capital.

JUMPS 215 FEET TO DEATH
Elns Zimmerman, Typist, Commits
Suicide by Leapino From Top Of
sixteen-Story Building.

Kansas City, Feb. 11.-After DELHI
crate preparations and apparently in
perfect good humor, Miss Elna Zim-
norman, aged 80 years, stenographer
for an implement house, committed
suicide by jumping from the roof Of a
siXteen-story office building, in sight
of hundreds Of pedestrians shortly be-
fore noon. She died instantly. The
body was recognized several hours
afterward by a fellow employe.
The young woman paid an elevator
operator ten cents to go to the top
of the building ito see the sights"
When he reminded her she probably
would not get her moneys worth be-
cause of low-hanging smoke, Miss Zim-
norman smiled and said she guessed
she would all right.
Several persons saw her carefully
remOve her hat and replace the pins
in it, as she stood on the stone coping
215 feet above the street, and horri.
fed women screamed when she
stepped into space and sailed down,
much like a heavy rug dropped from
q height.
Every bone in the young woman's
body was broken by the fall. The
body was taken first to the genera.
hospital and later to a morgue. II
lay -unrecognized until mid-afternoon
Why Miss Zimmerman committed sui
eide Is unknown.

Road bill-a measur providing for
the distribution of $25, ZOO, 900 of gov
eminent money between the states
for road Improvements.
Only one amendment of importance
was made to the bill. Some of the
western states complained that under
the method of dividing the pot they
weren't getting enough, so 1t was
voted that each state should receive
an appropriation of $4,000 first. Then
the remainder of the money would be
divided on the basis of one-half ac'
cording to the population and the
other half according to the number OF
miles Of post roads.
Under the bill, Missouri would gel
$1,000, 900 and Kansas $75O,O0O for its
roads in the coming year-the gov
