Having heard of the length and te-
nacity of an elephants memory, and
rememb ering a trick he had played or
one years before. Private Don o.
Davis, of the United States Marine
Corps, begged to be excused from
anticipating in the elephant maneuvers
recently held by Marines on the expo
sition grounds at San Diego, Calf.
81 remember, when a kid. of slip.
ping fine large chaw' of plug to-
bacco into the throttle of pachyderm
that strangely resembles that big fell
low over there" he told his COM
manding fficer.
But Marines never fiinch-no matter
what the danger-and Davis was or
dertd to take his place by the side of
the elephant he feared.
And then nothing at all happened.
The elephant by Davis side was
not reIated-not even by marriage-to
the elephant he had wronged in his
youth.

LITTLE HANDS ACROSS THE SEA
Help the Collections On "Children's
Day."


An appeal has been issued to the
children in the churches of the United
States to make the Children's Day coll
lections on June IL gift to help save
from starvation, disease and death the
babies and young people of school and
kindergarten age in the warning coun-
tries.
The appeal was issued by the Fund
for the Starving Children of Europe,
30 Fifth Avenue. New York City, an
enterprise started by the christian
Work" 1t is attempting in this way
TO interest the children of the United
States. as we'll as their elders, in the
fate of those in the lands tormented
by war, and to induce them to extend
their hands across the sea in a way
that will not be forgottensby their own
generation.
This movement emphasizes the action
OF the Federal Council of the Churc
of Christ in America which has al
ready announced that many churches
have recently signified their intention
of devoting their ChiIdren's Day offer
ing to this object, and has urged other
churches to take similar action so far
as this does not conflict with previous
arrangements. The Fund which issues
this appeal is unique among war re-
lief organizations in that it is interest
ed in children alone, not only of Europe
but also of the suffering Asiatic ma
tions.

CITY WINS BRIDGE TOLLS
Entitled to s25o,OOo More Yearly from
Transit Companies.

Under a decision Of the Appellate
Division yesterday the City of New
York Will be entitled to about s25O,OOO
more year from the railway COM
panies operating on the Brooklyn and
Williamsburg bridges. Also. if way
is found, the city under this ruling
may begin proceedings TO recover
S2,773,000, which was withheld from
the city from 1904 TO 1915.
The decision marks the success OF
Bridge Commissioner Kracke in his
contention, aided and abetted by Cor
poration Counsel Hardy and Addison
b. Scovilie, Assistant Corporation
Counsel, that the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company and New York Railways
Company were not justified in deduct
ing from their special franchise the
amount of bridge tolls collected By the
city. The case OF the New York Rail
ways Company was a test case, in which
the decision of the court will hold
good in other similar cases.
The Appellate Division held that the
money paid by the company for the
right TO run cars over the bridge
should not be considered as an Offset
against the amount of the special
franchise tax which the company has
to pay.

Washington, April Demonstra-

and that they can control the National
Convention, was the chief significance
seen here IN the selection to-day Of

insisting for year arc practically

Those which the Progressives here

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt caught o
young woman in waitress's costume
about the waist at the Flower Show in
Grand Central Palace yesterday. She
did not resist as ne planted Kiss on
her lips.
Mr.. Roosevelt" exclaimed horri-
fed feminine observer. "Of all people!
Gracious met"
The Colonel chuckled.
Ethel" he said to the young woman
he had kissed, you are beautiful to-
day | couldn't resist"
"Do you think so" said Mrs Richard
Derby, FOR il was his daughter he had
kissed.
1t was all part Of the Coloneps visit
TO the fairyland Of flowers. Thanked by
Police Commissioner Woods and Ma or
General Leonard Wood, he rushed from
flower booth to tea room and back
again. No medieval knigh. vas forced
TO run the gantlet Of smiles and cheers
from fair admirers as the man from
Oyster Bay.
The Colonel was besieged by crowd
as soon as he stepped out OF his ma
chine, at 4:30. Waving his soft fslt
nat, he mounted the marble steps that
led up to the fairy garden of Adolph
Lewisohn. A decidedly pretty girl
planted herself right in front Of nim
and pinned a red, white ard blue bOu-
tonEiere on his coat lapel. The Colo

TO capture the state committee from the
Whitman camp.
Governor Whitman and his friends
did not believe that Barnes could do
II. and late yesterday afternoon de-
clared that Mr. Tanner would be re-
elected, although they were willing to
stand for the reelection of Mr.. Gleason,
who is an out-and-out Barnes man, for
secretary.
Senator Wicks and his chief sup
porter, MIR. Brayton. are friends OF
Governor Whitman, but strong "organ-
ization" men. and Barnes and Wads-
worth have played clever coup on
the Governor by stealing them away
from him. II was declared last night
that Barnes had never met Senator
Wicks and that Senator Wadsworth
had a speaking acquaintance with him
only. Their purpose IN getting behind
him, it was said, was TO select a man
who had not been affiliated with any
faction and who would be able to con-
duet an aggressive campaign.
National politics rs not mixed up in
the endeavor to make Senator Wicks
the new state chairman. A story was
circulated by the Tanner men yester-
day that the fight against his reelec-
ton was d fight against the nomns-
ton Of Justice Hughes for President.
Rarnes men in u position TO know de-
clared that there was absolutely no
truth IN the story, that they were not
fighting the nomination OF Mr. Hughes,
and that II ii came TO a choice between
Roosevelt Snd Hughes the Barnes men
would be found on tho side of Hughes.
The programme Of last nights con-
ference, however, has the eject of d.
vidlng the Republican Big Four" to
the national convention. IN that the
lineup Will show Senator Wadswortn
and Senator Brown on one side and
Governor Whitman and Chairman Tan
ner on the other. The Governor al
ready has declared for Hughes, and Mr.
Tanner has leanings tot way.
The Tanner men are not csing to give
up the fight without battle however
Governor Whitman is in he city, and
hurry calls have been cent 20 all the
Whitman leaders throughout the state
TO hasten here for to-day's fray. Francis
/ Hendricks, the Republican boss OF
Syracuse, and William Ward, of West
chester, already are on the ground, and
preparations have been made to carry
f George W. Aldridge, the Republicsr
boss Of Rochester. here from his sick
bed
/ Chairman Tanner was plainly worIied
! last night. but he declared that h,

I asserted that he welcomed "A fight with

West Virginia may not be repre-
