with his trunk. The fuckers small
eyes were red with blood lust, and
circus men, forming a line Of skir-
mishers, headed the crowds on the
lot onto the streets outside the fences.
Others, led by the elephant men,
formed a great circle about the ele-
phant in order that he might be
headed if he turned toward she towns
people. For three hours the big ele-
phant spent his time in turning over
immensely heavy pole, seat and bag
gage wagons. Once he picked up a
cage Of lions and hurled it thirty feet.
He started for 4 den Of leopards, but
the snarling cats, rearing against the
bars with their claws extended, scared
him off.
All 6ln.ing the excitement the ele-
phant needed his name. SO, as he
would start charge, the circus men
would divert him by calling to him.
Thus, the field of his activities was
restricted. Outside the menagerie was
a small tent in which the elephant
men were wont to rest between shows.
This the elephants knocked over,
stamping upon every square foot Of
the fattened canvas in the apparent
hope that some one of the men was
underneath.
Once he rushed for the great sin
pole top in which 800 of the shows
finest draft stock were stabbed. AS the
elephant approached, a quick whistle
from the boss hostler sixty drivers
and grooms with pitchforks fell in line
in front of the tent. There were men
in that line who had driven and
nursed their six and eight-horse
teams for years. They were there to
die rather than see their pets HARMED.
The sun glinted on the thin line Of
pronged steel. Snyder, charging with
long, numbering strides, saw and un-
derstood. He came to a full stop,
turned and went back to the mena-
gerie tent, where he wrecked the
candy stands.
Meanwhile the general manager
had sent for rifles. He also had pre-
pared apples with cyanide of potas-
SUM. These. We're thrown to the ele-
phant. He ate one and then tossed
the others aside. 1t is likely he de-
.tected the poison. That contained in
one apple had no effect on him. The
manager had managed to get Trilby,
Snyder's mate, chained at one side of
the show lot where people would not
.obstruct the line Of fire, ii he should
decide to shoot the mad brute. When
the poisoned apples failed to slow
uD Snyder's rushes, he gave the word.
It was then a matter Oh lullnS OF
driving the. elephant to point where
he could sec Trilby, for it was almost
certain that he would attempt to
loosen her when he sighted her. Such
proved to be the outcome. But, as
Snyder neared her the assistant man.
ager, armed with a $3.50 rifle, fired.
The bullet caught the tusker in the
hollow over the right eye, piercing the
brain. Three ex-ofticers of the army
also opened fire, but unnecessarily, for
the managers shot was fatal. Slow
ly, without sound or struggle, the
elephant sank TO his knees and
stretched out on his right side. So
ended the only elephant hunt ever
held in the heart of kansas.-Frank

TRACTION MERGER
BILL BEFORE HOUSE
COMMITTEE TODAY
Members Declare Wood
Measure Still Has Bad
Features.

Consideration of the proposed
merger of the street railway COM
panies Of the District will be the
order Of special business at the
meeting OF the House District Conn
mittee today, Chairman Focht an
nounced yesterday.
The Woods bill providing for. a
merger of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. the Capital
Traction Company and the Potomac
Electric Power Company, has been
reyamped since II was recommitted
by action of the House, and discus
sions on this bill will start today
according to the plans of the chair
man of the committee.
Oppose woods Bill.
Several members of the committee
announced yesterday their inten-
ton tc oprose the Woods bill for
the reason that IL still embodies the
principal features which brought
out objections on the floor of the
House at the time of its recommit-
ment.
\, When brought up IN the House,
Representatives Sanders. Mondell
and oliver objected to the bill be-
cause they did not believe IL would
force a merger of the-street car
companies. other members OPP
posed the bill because they objected
to its tax provisions. In discussing
the bill yesterday several members
of the committee predicted its fall
ure because 1t still contained the
features which were the object of
attack in the House.
Two Other Bills Prepared.
Representatives Hammer of North
Carolina, and Keller of Minnesota,
both have bills before the commit
tee which they will endeavor to
have reported favorably. The Ham
mer bill has previously received the
endorsement of former Commits
sioner Kutz. The Keller bill pro-
vides for municipal ownership OF
the street car companies and the
Electric Light Company.

Only $15O,OOO,000
Earned by Roads in
1920 Estimates Show

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The rail-
roads of the country earned only
about $150,O00,000 last year, or $780,
100000 less than in 1919, according
to estimates prepared by H. P. Par
melee, director of the bureau of rail-
way economics, and made public to-
day.
Mr.. Parmelee estimates that in
1920 the carriers had gross revenue
of ,2O0,000,0O0 and expenses
amounted to $5,57O,OOO,OOO, leaving a
gross income of $45O,000,000. Deduc-
ton of taxes and equipment rentals
amounted to $3OO,OOO,O0O and left the
net income at $15O,OO0,000.
This sum was far short of the
government guarantee and treasury
and other officials have estimated
that the government must pay the
roads about $600,000,000 for the six
months period Of guaranteed return
which expired on September l. New
rates became effective then and their
operation served to materially in
erase the carriers income, which for
the first ten months of the year
showed a net deficit.
During November, Mr.. Parmelee
said, the revenue of the roads was
$685., 100000 and expenses $505,OOO,-
900, leaving a gross revenue OF S6o,-
100000. Taxes and rental amounted
to $20,000,000, giving net operat-
ing income Of $59,O0O,OOO.
