HAS THRILLING BATTLE
WITH A WOUNDED TIGER
German Engineer in Siam, Although
Badly Hurt, Fires Six Shots
Into Beast.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star
LONDON, December 26, 1913.
The thrilling story of fierce fight be-
tween white man and tiger comes
from Siam. For SOME time past the
neighborhood of the village of Pakdah
had been terrorized by a tiger. which
would one day carry off sheep, and
another day pull down an OK, While
pigs, fowls and ducks disappeared from
the farmyards. One night the beast
sprang into the yard of the bungalow
occupied by a German engineer named
Eschenbrenner. but was driven away py
, the house boys The following night
Eschenbrenner and his friend Spittel
lay in wait for the beast. 1t made its
appearance about 2 O'Clock.
'iSpittel. who has reputation as
hunter, fired as the tiger stood out plain,
ly against the sky. 1t vanished. and
In the morning a trail of blood was found.
This was followed up by the two men,
who were accompanied by dozen ma
tives armed with spears. clubs. axes and
nets, the idea being to corral the ami
NAL when it had been located.
Trial Leads Into Jungle.
'tOn the way they were joined by a
German named Altman: he and Spittei
carried guns, while Eschenbrenner, who
is no hunter, only had a revolver. The
trail led into the jungle. and finally to
an open space in the middle of which
was heap of broken rocks Suddenly
the animal showed itself at the entrance
to cavity In these rocks. 1t was
huge tigress SpitteI fired and wounded
her. With ore mighty spring she hurled
herself into the thick of her assailants.
She only grazed Altman, but threw Es-
chenbrenner down and caught his left
foot in her jaws.
"He did not lose his presence of mind,
and snatched his revolver from his peck
ct while the brute, leaving his crushed
foot, laid hold of his left hand and
crunched it between her mighty teeth.
Tortured as he was. the engineer
nevertheless succeeded in making good
aim with his revolver and planted six
bullets one after the other in the body
of his assalant, the muzzle of the re-
volver almost touching her skin. Stimuli
taneously with the last bullet a shot
from Spittel's rifle entered the brutes
head and killed it. The wounded man
bled fearfully and tainted away, but a
good bandage prevented further loss of
blood. and it was possible to carry him
to his bungalow.

TO HELP FRISCO EXHIBIT.
Austrian Ambassador Suggests Re-
moval of Canal Tonnage Duties.

Ambassador Dumba of Australian
gary, unofficially has suggested that the
United States remove the tonnage duties
on all goods passing through the Panama
canal for exhibit at the Panama-Pacific
exposition at San Francisco. He said he
believed such action would result in larS-
or and better exhibits at the exposition.
The expense was the important item, he
said. on which a number of foreign coun-
tries were figuring before deciding how
hi= an exhibition TO make.
The ambassador also intimated that the
deliberately fitted out Austrian merchant
ship which is about to start on a visit to
all the South American countries with its
floating exhibition might wind up at

CORN SHIPPED TO U. S.
Millions of Bushels of Argentine
Product Are Con-
tracted For.

NEW YORK. January S.-Neariy 300,
no bushels of Argentine corn were being
unloaded in this port today and millions
more from the South American republic
are under contract. The importations
are the direct result of the removal of
the duty on the staple under the recent
Tariff act.
More than 1.Oo0O0o bushels have been
received in the United States since the
tariff went into effect the first from
the Argentine ever brought here. and
already the competition with American
corn has force a decline i'll cash values.
thirteen ships are either en- route
here or loading with corn from the Ar
Sentine and one American manufacturing
concern which uses corn in the manu-
facture of sirups and kindred products
has 100000 bushels from that country
under contract for delivery
Imports to Increase.
When the new Argentine corn crop is
harvested the importations will increase.
according to trade authorities. The corn
already here found the railroads UMPIRE
AIRED to handle it and the port Wlthout
adequate docking facilities
are being made by the Transportation
bureau of the produce exchange me
fact that hitherto practically no corn
has ever moved west has also CONFRONTED
the railroads with new rate probieHl'
as there is a movement on foot among
the importers to have the present noini-
nal rate for western shipment reduced
Sharp Decline in Prices.
CHICAGO, January S.-The recent
sharp decline in corn prices here went
a penny further today due to the removal
of the tariff duty from the cereal, &C
centuated by a decline in the Buenos
Aires market today Argentine corn in
New York at present is selling to .
cents under the price at which Chicago
shipments can be sold in that market
according to James A. Patten, who Tor
many years has been recognized as the
biggest corn dealer in the American mar
ket.
Mr. Patten said that in due course OF
time he looked for the appearance OF for-
eign corn in western markets, and pre-
dicted that in two or three Years the
cheaper feed would increase production
of cattle.

BELIEVES THAT CHRIST
WAS A TRADES UNI0NIsT
Secretary Morrison of the A. F. Of L.
Lectures on Labor at Meant
Rainier Church.

Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, delivered
an address last night before a gathering
of men of the congregation Of the Mt
Rainier Christian Church on the subject
of Labor" in which he declared that
he sincerely believed that Jesus Christ
was member of a trades union at
Nazareth.
Trades unionism and Christianity, Mr..
Morrison declared, went hand in hand
through the early centuries. He said he
believed there was body of carpenters
organized in a union in Jerusalem in the
days of Christ, and declared that the
principle on which 1t was founded was
the same as that on which the unions
of today are founded-the improvement
Of working conditions.
Mr.. Morrison said, in part:
There is more glory and heroism in
the men who hold out for months on a
strike than there is in men who follow
the flag and the drums into the smoke of
battle. For there's no. glory in a strike
nothing but misery and suffering to Sc
cure better conditions.

Wanted to Impeach Strong

In reporting the trials of par.
ties arrested IN Springfield dur
ing that city's recent crusade
against immoral resorts, the
Springfield Republican says that
the defense in one case asked
a continuance in order to get
witnesses to impeach the YER
acity of City Marshal Roe Strong
of Mansfield, whose name ap.
pears on nearly all the com
plants in the cases of nearly all
the persons indicted in connec.
tion with alleged disorderly
houses. This Was denied when
the prosecuting attorney de
clared that Mr.. Strong would
not testify. Mr.. Strong's repu-
tation Is we'll known here where
he has many friends who would
be willing to testify to his repu-
tation for truthfulness, if such a
thing Should be necessary. Mr..
Strong's good work has GER
tainly made some people in
Springfield sit up and take
notice.
