Jungle Beasts, Accustomed
To Booze, Come to Dry America

A South American tapir, who sips
intoxicants with his meals and fire.
quently gets drunk in his jungle
home along the Amazon, has been
brought to dry America from Para.
Brazil. He was one of several hun
dred odd creatures Of the Brazilian
wilds which were captured alone by
Fred Bartels, animal dealer and hun
ter, who passed nearly six months
below the equator in pursuit of game.
Mr.. Bartels was in the ships hos
pital when the Byron locked in
Brooklyn, nursing wounds of the
hands, face and ankles, all reminders
Of vicious attacks by his animal cap
tlVes when he sought to care for
them during the voyage from Para.
While men from his menagerie were
listening to his advice on how to
handle the animals, Mr.. BarteIs told
about the tapir that likes booze.
"He is called water tapir," he
said, because he swims in the
streams and gets his food from ex-
posed roots in marshy places, but

Brazilian forests this tapir finds
plenty of mushy roots that have fer
mented, and the liquor he gets from
this root beer has the kick of New
England hard cider.

and is full of fight if cornered If
he has a moderate jag he can run
well, but if well soused lies down
and doesn't seem to care who takes
him. L have a quantity of these jag

OFFICERS BREAK
Up BOLD PLOT TO
RESCUE CONV|CTS

What appears to have been q clear
Iy-laid plot to rescue at least four
convicts from the Oakland camp was
broken up by the discovery of the
plan by Warden A. A. Clarke, Jr. !;
and a deputy, G. o. Gates, last Sat-
urday, as result Of which the con-
victs-Dick Jester, Joe Webb, J. c..
Matthews and Clyde Thomas-re-
main at the camp, heavily guarded,
and the rescue party-Willie ColSon,
Oscar Terrell and Rudolph Presnell
are held in Jail under $4,000 bond
each, charged with automobile theft
and burglary.
The plot, as now disclosed, reads
like a chapter from one of boyhood's
faVorite paperback novels.
Jester is serving a term of five
years for various automobile thefts.
Webb Is in for murder. Thomas was
convicted Of burglary and imperson-
ating a military policeman, and Mat
thews was serving q term for theft.
The four-and possibly others-had
established communication wi t h
friends outside and had obtained a
supply of arms and ammunition.
After the discovery of the plot, Jes-
ter was searched and it is said two
revolvers and ammunition were
found, with a stick of dynamite, caps
and fuse. A hacksaw is said to have
been found in Matthews bed, and
Thomas is said to have had a revol-
yer and cartridges. A wagon driver
was found with a revolver, which,
it is alleged, he was trying to SNUG
gle to Webb.
The game was no new one for
Jester and Webb, who were two OF
the principals in the recent escape
from the same camp come weeks
ego, when they took an automobile
from a man, his wife and two chill
6ren, and were at liberty for various
Periods, ranging from a few hours
to two days.
The plan appears to have been
complete in all It's details, most Of
which are said by the police and the
camp officials to be admitted by the
principals. Prompt action enabled
the warden to hold all his own pris-
oners and to add to the prison popu-
lation three more members-at least
until the charges Of automobile theft
and burglary shall have been tried.
The wagon driver also is held on /
charge Of carrying concealed weap-

Politics Interfering
With Jury Selection
For Deportation Trials

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Feb. 1.-THE
political significance of the Bisbee
deportation cases is playing big
part in making difficult the selection
of jury.
Because of an election held over
year ago in which the question of
prosecution in this case was the is
sue, the great majority Of talesmen
have fixed opinions as to the guilt
or innocence of the defendants.
A total of 267 veniremen were
brought into court from the third
panel of 500. OF these 33 were ex-
cused for statutory causes, such as
old age and connections with the
case, while 1873 were excused by
between attorneys. This
leaves Ill remaining for examina-
ton.
County Attorney French believed
u jury could be completed from
those remaining, but ]. A. Curley,
for the defense, thought possibly
fourth venire would be necessary.

This salvation was accomplished,

LEAGUE DEBATE To
BE DELAYED UNTIL
EARLY NEXT WEEK

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The peace
treaty, referred to the senate foreign
relations committee to technically
rid it of cloture, was reported back
by the committee without debate and
without a record vote. Republican
and Democratic leaders agreed, how
ever, not to take it up in the senate
until next week.
The committees action was entire
ly perfunctory, the senate having
given instructions that the treaty be
reported out Immediately together
with the Republican reservations
adopted at the last session of COM
gress. The parliamentary result is
to bring the treaty and the reserva-
tions again into q status where
amendment to either can be offered
and discussed without any limitation
on debate.
The reason for delay given is that
the conference report on the rail-
road bill is due this week AMI
that the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill should be
acted on at once. Senator Lodge
wants to clear away pending
legislation beGorG -lng up the
t.caty. the meanwhile inteAse ac-
tivity is likely in an effort to frame
a modificat' Of ~.ge's
reservation on article X which will
get 81 senator's votes (the two
thirds necessary for ratificationy,
and at the same time be acceptable
to President Wilson.
Senators realized, they said, that
they will be wasting time if they
ratify the treaty with reservations
that Mr.. Wilson will not accept. There
appears IL be a sincere desire t.
make the ratification effective. The
remainder of this week is to be spent
in trying to work out an agreement
which will result in shortening de-
bate, and quickly disposing of the
treaty after it actually is taken up.

HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make } Remedy for Gray Fair

Mr.. Frank Harbaugh, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, who has been a barber
for more than forty years, recently
made the following statement:
anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken gray hair, and make it
soft and glossy. To a half-pint of
water add 1 ounce bay rum, small
box of Barbo Compound and IA
ounce glycerine. These ingredients
can be bought at any drug store at
very little cost. Apply to the hair
twice a week until the desired shade
Is obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. 1t is easy to use, does not
color the most delicate scalp, is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub
off."-(Advt.)
