Expectations in ReSenting
Sub-Cellar Interview.

A kind leopard went on a tear az the
Hotel Majestic yesterday and caused a
perfectly tame press agent story 10
overleap itself and become a real one.
There would have been riot calls for
policemen and hurry calls for ambu-
lances had matters not stopped just
where they did. AS b.; was. the only
damages were one badly scratched
keeper, fairly well smashed camera
and the complete humiliation Of a
shelf full Of bar glasses.
Shricks Of two women mingled with
the noise OF crashing glass Scam
pering footsteps Of several men unmin-
glei with :he noise. The ru.verlziag Of
the glassware came as the climax o. a
struggle in which the brave keeper had
grappled with the kind leopard in an
heroic effort 10 keep the story within
decent bounds.
But when he felt the big cats claws
he decided the animal wasn't so kind as
reported and let go. Like bolt from a
catapult the big feline shot through
the air for forty feet, according to the
most frightened estimates. and landed
in the hotel reserve glass supply
Tri-Lingual Guarantee Fails.
tn until this moment the kindness
OF the leopard had been guaranteed in
three languages by his owner Miss
Ethel steward Forster. an English
woman by birth. German By residence
and chiefly French by language. Her

Copeland Townsend. owner Of the hotel,
against his better judgment, 20 allow
her TO bring the leopard there with her.

up" many times in the last few weeks,
so that the suffragists will not be sure
that the amendment Is out of commit
tee until il is actually reported on the
floor Of the Senate.
There is little doubt that the oppo-
nents Of the amendment in the commit

excuse TO hold up the amendment, but
the opinion is general that the time
has now arrived for a showdown as 10
the real sentiment prevailing in the
committee. II was said last week that
one reason for the inaction Of the com
mittee was personal one on the part
OF Senator Brown. This cannot again
be urged this week, members Of the
committee say.
Senator Walters will probably prove
