 Beyond the steel fence is another smaller fence, to keep visitohs back. Roger can throw his trunk over It. He did this yesterday and a large crowd gathered to watch him. Among them were small boys. They had peanuts, which they are not supposed to bring into the park. and also pebbles. They were not allowed under the park rules to feed the elephant but no keepers were about and they fed him.
 But they alternated their pebbles and A pebbles in his trunk, Khartum began to get angry. He got worse and worse as the boys threw pebbles at him Finally he began to stamp and snort and pull up tufts of grass and throw them high into the air His sense of injury kept expressing him and pres entity he ripped away sections of the steel fence that stood between him and his tormentors.
 The crowd began to scatter as soon as Khartum wrapped his trunk about the fence and began tugging. As fast as Roger ripped away a section of the fence he threw 1t into the air to- ward the crowd. Several chunks fell among the spectators without hurt ing any one, but one section hit Mrs. Josephine Geigrich of 4o10 Third avenue, the Bronx, on the hip and in the abdomen, She had two little children with her and was so busy getting them out of the way that she did not have time to escape.

ARCHBISHOP CURLEY BACK FROM IRELAND
Tells of Conditions There e-Peace
 Is Wanted He Says

New York, Sept. 1s.-Archbishop Michael Joseph Curey Of Baltimore successor in his archdiocese to the
 late Cardinal Gibbons, returned yes terday by the White Star liner Celtic from a visit to his native land and the home in Athlone of his aged mother, declaring that he could not find words strong enough to express his opinion of the handful of de- luded 1rishmen inspired by De Va lera to bring about chaos in Ireland and wreck the country" The arch bishop is tall, finely built, big eyed and eloquent and talks like a native American.
 In the steerage of the Celtic came 26 young 1rishmen who had advocat- ed the De Valera viewpoint and with whom the big archbishop had talked. He described them as fine fellows who talked wild and did snot know what they were doing"
 That was his estimate of most of the youngsters trying to ruin their country" The 26 aboard the liner apparently had become weary of a fight in which they realized that they were numerically an insignificant factor.
 85 Per Cent Had Fought.
 The archbishop said: There is nothing more evident in Ireland to- day than that the Irish people want the peace treaty and the Free State status. More than s5 per cent of the men who fought the Black and Tans' are with the people for the Free State and are being guided by the will of the people: in other words, Ireland is thoroughly democratic. At the head of the Irish government are men like Cosgrave, O'Neil, Hogan and oth- CTS with whom have talked. among the most brilliant souls Ireland ever has produced.
 "Only very small proportion of the Irish people stand with De Valera and his irregulars, bent on destruc tion, killing, burning and otherwise wrecking. They are without con- structive program, which is impossi ble in so small a minority, perhaps not much more than 1 per cent of the people. Destruction is their only argument. The people, being over whelmingly for the Free State, greet the peoples army as their saviers, and wherever that army appears the ir regulars fly before them.
 Aid From America.
 Behind De Valera, who seems to have completely lost his head, are the Englishman Childers the ex-English officer Barton and the Polish countess known in socialistic circles as Com rade Markievicz. It is an anomalous situation, unintelligible and unnatural The worst feature about it is that De Valera and his wreckers are re- ceiving help from supposed friends of Ireland in the United States. No Am erican true to American principles should give one moments countenance to the present armed attack on the Irish people now being made by a dkgruntled, disaffected set of men.
 The archbishop has been abroad since July 6, visiting France, England and Italy. He was accompanied by Mgr. L. R. Stickney, rector of the at Baltimore, and the Rev. Dr. Patrick Healy professor of his tory in the Catholic university. He will stop here several days as the guest of Mgr. L. J. Evers of St. An drews church.
