Bridget. the Rhesus monkey pur-
chased by the park last summer. be-
came SO fretful over the cold Sunday
that she gave her ancient mate, Mike,
such severe whipping that it was
ne oessary to remove him from her
c; az and place him with the ringtail
fc mily, with whom he lived before
Bridget arrived. The ringtails gave
him an enthusiastic welcome home be-
cause they have not the least use for
Miss Bridget, whom they look upon as
an entirely too fresh interloper.
Jim, the handsome Ocelot cat. has
also been giving voice to his disap-
proval of the heating system u.ed in

Supt. Ford said today that the park
had been offered young buffalo COW

board has not approved Of the pur.
chase of the animal. Ford is negotiat-

in winter quarters for park animals is
SO deficient that the mercury seldom

BERGEN FIRE !.
BRINGS DEATH
TO CHILDREN
Thirty-Three Freeze to Death
and II Men and Women
Suffer Same Fate in Blaze
in Norway.

CHRISTIANIA. Jan. 17.-On a spe-
cial train that shattered all records for
speed on Norwegian railways, King
Haakon arrived at Bergen today and
took personal charge of the relief
measures in the city that was swept
yesterday by a fire that caused 49,
100000 loss and made nearly 5000
persons homeless.
Martial law was declared in the
stricken city today. not because of
any outbreak of disorder, but to facfl-
itate the relief measures.
Though no lives were lost in the
fire. thirty-three children and seven
teen men and women were frozen to
death or died from exposure before
they could be given shelter. Supplies
for the homeless are lacking because
all the storehouses in Bergen were de-
stroyed by the fire, which swept over
the business section and the poorer
residential district surrounding It,
A regiment of Norwegian pioneers
began the erection of temporary shell
ters last night. This work was well
under way today while other troops
were clearing away the debris in the
section where the flames destroyed
banks, hotels and business houses. The
city was in darkness last night owing
to the destruction of the electric light
ing system.

per published at Greenfield, Ind, has
joined in the opposition to Represen-
tative Finly H. Gray. This weekly
newspaper, in it's current issue, has

little complaint on the part of rural
route patrons. There has been con-
siderable dissatisfaction over the SER
vice out of Fountain City and Hagers-
town.

Williamsburg citizens was held and a
resolution was adopted, addressed to

CRAY ENTERS
RACE AGAINST
JOHN L0NTz

A dispatch from Washington
this afternoon announced that
Finly H. Gray, representative
from the Sixth Indiana district,
would be a candida.e for renom-
ination subject to the Democratic
primary election, March 7. Gray,
the dispatch states, today filed his
formal declaration of candidacy.
It had been reported that Gray
might withdraw from the Demo-
ocratic congressional contest be-
cause he did not desire to COM
pete against John M. Lontz of
Richmond.
It is generally believed that
Gray will return to his district in
a short time to look over the polit-
ical situation. The strength Of
the Lontz candidacy is giving him
much worry.

Makes Recommendations.
A full description Of the changes .
will be found on Page 2.
The changes. in substance, are as
follows:
Slight reduction In the mileage Of
the present routes although the new
system will leave them all over fifty
miles in length.
Addition of one twenty-five mile
route out OF Boston to be covered with
horse and wagon.
Division Of the fifty mile routes out
OF Richmond into two parts making it
necessary for the carrier to reload at
Richmond. The advantage Of this plan
1t is said, is to make 1t possible for the
route to be carried by q substitute in
case Of bad weather.
Transfer OF thirty-eight patrons of
present Route B to the rural route out
Of Fountain City.
Transfer Of ten patrons of Route d
to the new Boston route,
Transfer of eleven patrons from the
Greensboro route to Route A. Rich
mond.
Retain Four Routes.
Retention of the four routes out OF
Richmond in the same general direc-
tions, including practically the same
roads although differently arranged.
Demand that all patrons place boxes
on right side Of road and grouped
whenever possible.
Demand that names be placed on all
boxes.
Fountain City route to take in terri
tory three-quarters Of a mile north OF
Whitewater, extending to Bethel: west
of Bethel one mile and then two miles
south.
Arlington and vicinity placed on
Route D out of Richmond.
All Routes Divided.
The chief feature of the changes II
that they have been divided into two
parts. each part ending with the Rich
mond post office. As q consequence
more miles have virtually been added
to the routes although the number of
boxes to be accommodated has been
reduced. Thirty-eight patrons have
been transferred to the Fountain City
route and ten patrons to the new Bos-
ton route. 1t is the general opinion
that these changes will not please the
