BUFFALO, N. Y. May 23.-
Thousands watching a circus per
formance here last night were
terrified when a big lion escaped
from its cage. The lion ran out

three blocks before it was finally
cornered. !

Several hundred people followed
the lion out Of the tent, and when ne
was cornored and roped down there
was a great crowd enCircling the
spot. There was another panic when
the beast broke loose from the ropes
and charged directly into the crowd.
The mob was too dense for the lion
to penetrate, however, and II halted,
snarling.
The lion. a male and one of the
biggest with the circus, was being un-
loaded from its menagerie cage into
steel cage in the arena in which a
trained animal act was to be given.
The mechanism by WHICH the gates
are operated failed to work properly
and the animal dropped to the
ground in the center of the arena.

started to run. In great bounds he
crossed the main tent and disappear.
ed through the door leading to the
horse tent.
The lion emerged from the horse
tent and ran down the street, scatter
ing a crowd of late-Comers on their
way to the circus. Two women re-
ported later that they had been
struck by a paw in one of the lions
bounds and her shoulder bruised and
cut. The other said she was knocked
down.
Crowds Pursue.
BY this time a crowd OF several
hundred, headed by circus employees,
was in pursuit. and, after chase Of
three blocks, he was cornored. He
ran into a narrow space between a
garage and a wire fence. Wedged
there, he was helpless, and while
ropes were made fast to his legs. his
cage was drawn to the scene by an
elephant. Then a horse was hitch ed
10 the ropes attached to the lion TO
drag him out When the horse pull
ed the lion leaped out and, slipping
loose from the ropes dashed into
the crowd.
A circus cook leaped on the lions
back and tried to hold him away
from the crowd. He was dragged
for several yards. but was uninjured.
COWBOYS from the show then las
sooed the lion. He was hoisted into
the cage and taken back to the
menagerie tent.

SAC0 MQulDERS +
stage Strike, ASK
Higher WAGE SCALE.

Biddeford, Nc, Oct. 30.-Two hun
bred moulders employed by the Ssco-
Lowell shops here struck this morn
ing for restoration of the wage
scale Of two years ago. Other work
men of the 1900 employees of the
plant have as yet taken no action.
The moulders about a month ago
asked for an increase from $500 to
S. a day. At that time officials .x-
planned that business was dull. es-
pecially in view of the big slump
in foreign demand. and that, while
they had been Oh full time, they were
just beginning to feel the effects that
had caused shors in other states to
curtail to two days week. They
promised that as soon as business
conditions were favorable, wages
would be advanced.
1t was understood that other en-
p'oyes were not organized and that
the shops would continue in opera
ton as long as castings could be
obtained from other places.

Coolidge RecOunts
Benefits to Farmer
Under Harding Regime

Cincinnati, oct. 3O.-V1ce President
Calvin Coolidge. speaking at a Repub
lican rally here tonight, dwelt upon
the accomplishments of the Harding
administration, and urged the voters to
stand by the President"
A considerable portion of Mr.. Cool
idges address was devoted to what the
Harding administration had done for
the farmers. He called attention to
the emergency tart ffbill which he said
was to protect American agriculture
products from ruinous competition
with foreign staples at a time OF
severe decline in agricultural price.
He mentioned also that the admins
tration had granted in the new tariff
nearly the same rates as in the emer-
gency act and this, he declared, con-
stituted larger benefits for farmers
than ever before given by a tariff law
Mr.. Coolidge told his hearers, a Re
publican Congress would stand as a
necessary guaranty against interrupt
ton of the constructive program of
the Harding administration. would
stand for uninterrupted Republican
saving and reduction of taxes as
against the enormous burden of debt
and waste inherited from the Wilson
administration; would stand for Amer
lea kept solvent and prosperous alone
among nations Of the world and would
stand for the par value of the Ame,i-
can dollar and Of liberty bonds while
other nations are floundering in gov
ernren' deficits, increasing debts and
inflated currencics.

Boston, Oct. 80 Manufacturing
activity in New England is better
than at any time since last Novem-
Der and retail trade has been very
much better this fall than it We a
year age, says the monthly review of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Bos-
ton. made public tonight.
Taken all in ALL" the review SAYS,
conditions in the textile industry are
distinctly encouraging. and in view
of the fact that this industry is the
largest in New England and is recu-
liarly sensitive to changes in general
business conditions. it tends to make
the general outlook for the im,ncd-
late future in New England"
The metal trades also are impl ov-
ing. the review continues. and there
is already a scarcity of skilled work.
ers for the metal trades in several
New England centres.
THE volume of contracts awarded
for new construction in New Eng
land this fall, while considerably less
than the record amounts placed in
the late spring and early summer. is
still large enough to indicate that
building activity probably will not
decline as much this winter as US
ual
Referring to retail trade, tho re-
view says:
merchants report that a better
grade of merchandise is being bought
now than last fall. The public has
apparently become encouraged by the
prospects for general business i'm
provement and is spending it's money
more freely"
The transportation situation, the
review says, lis fraught with pos
slbilities Of both good and harm. If
MERCHANTS and others learned the les
sons Of 1920 thoroughly and have
the courage to profit by that ex-
perience now, this period of made
quate transportation may tend to
keep manufacturing from expanding
faster and farther than fundamental
| conditions warrant, and thus, in turn,
tend to postpone that period which
usually comes in an era of prosperity,
when stocks of merchandise are
larger than are warranted by the
actual demands. The freight car
shortage, in other words, may make
for fairly long period of moderately
good business.
If, on the other hand, an apparent
shortage Of goods develops because
merchants cannot get shipments and
they forget the lessons of 1920 and
! begin duplicating their orders in the
hope that they will get at least a
part of the merchandise they wish,
then it is easily possible that prices
| will respond to the large increase in
the number of untitled orders due
to this duplication, and business will
appear to be much better than it
really is.
1T. is impossible to foresee at the
present time which one of the Two
courses will be followed. The test
Of the situation will come a little
later as business expands as result
of the holiday trade"

shellac by the kasbier- Chat:ield
Company.
a hasty search of the building by
firemen at midnight failed to reveal
any of the bodies of the fifteen ,Ills
reported to have been trapped in
the structure.
Contradictory statements as to the
number of persons in the building at
the time of the fire were made to
the authorities. Employers who l"as-
cd the top floors as shirt factories
said that all the girls had left before
the fire started.
A girl who escaped said the ONLY

her employer and two statesmen, all
or whom were rescued
The dead man is Eugene Kerstein,
of Bellmore, n. Y. Four of the in :
jured are said to be in a critical con-
dition.
Authorities, after an exhaustive ex-
! animation of witnesses. established
late tonight to their apparent salts
faction that all of those who were in
the building when the fire started,
had been accounted for.
A series of fire alarms called en-
gines from all parts of the greater
city to fight the blaze. Nearby hnspi-

forces a. a the injured were rushed
there by police and firemen.
The burning building was occupied
by the Kasbier Chatfield Company,

of a manufacturing district of South
Brooklyn. The structure was hem

workers.
Three firemen were injured when

the building collapsed. They went
up to the roof of the building on
scaling ladders, and were making an
attempt to reach the girls reported
to be trapped in the shirt shop when
the fire escapes fell.
All three of the men were left
dangling in the air. holding on to the
coping of the building, with smoke

They were finally rescued by their

AMERICAS DUTY TO
ARMENIA IS PLAIN
GERARD P;)INTS0 out

New York, Oct. 30-James w. &C.
rard, former ambassador to Germany,
and Chairman of the American COM
mission for the independence Of Ar
menia, tonight issued a statement
calling upon the United States gov
eminent to accept tits plain respon-
sibility to Armenia" at the forth
coming near east peace conference.
1.-THE government of the United
States" he declared, cannot shirk
it's plain responsibility to Armenia,
without stultifying itself.
''Since the delay in effecting peace
with Turkey has been due to the
commissions and omissions Of the
United States government and since
this delay had eliminated in the pre-
sent state of affairs, the conclusion
must therefore be that the govern
ment of the United States is respon-
siblc for the consequences of that
delay in so far as Armenia is con-
cerned."
While America has been respon-
sible for the delay. Mr.. Gerard said,
two of the Allies" aided the Turks
to resist the enforcement of the Sew
res treaty, thus taking upon them
selves blame for the failure of the
treaty.
I'VE should remind the powers"
Mr.. Gerard concluded, that, at their
request, the president of the United
States defined the boundaries of Ar
mcnia: that following our rejection
Of the Armenian mandate, they con-
cluded the Sevres treaty, in which
they provided for the setting up of
an independent and united Armenian
state. and that the responsibility for
the failure to conslmmate the Sevres
treaty belongs wholly to them.
"Our government. by notes to the
powers, should insist that they carry
out the provisions of the Sevres
treaty relating to Armenia

LAWS IN PRACTICE
CH!R0p0Dy IN MAINE

Maine is practically The only State
in New England that does not have
laws regulating the practice of chiro-
pody," said Mrs. Mary B Small be-
fore the Maine Chiropodist Associa-
ton at their annual meeting at the
Senate Chamber, Augusta, Monday
! morning. I'm our State, men and
women are practicing chiropody who
have been obliged to leave their own
, State because they could not pass
the medical boards examination and
HAD not been in their own state long

are now nine states anxious to pass
chilopodist laws this year in their
respective territory. Is Maine to be
among them? If she is, we must
not delay until our legislature meets.
but must bet busy today. No other
branch of medicine has progressed
as rapidly as chiropody. Today the
National Society has over 1900 mem
bcrs. Many of our States have laws
providing that no person can practice
chiropody without a license. The

year course before issuing a diplo-
ma"

morning, Miss Gertrude L. Moore of
Augusta was unanimously elected
president of the Maine Association,
W. Q. McNaughton Of Bangor. vice.
president. and Alfred Peal of Port

The meeting opened at 10 o'clock
with the annual business session and
election of officers. Resolutions of
sympathy were adopted on the re-
cent death of Norbert Krutzy of Wa
| terville, member of the association.
The meeting went unanimously on
record as favoring a board Of regis
tration in Maine to regulate the prac-
ticc Of Chiropody in this state.
In the afternoon the association
was privileged in hearing a most
scholarly talk by DR.. Charles Howard
Bangs of Boston, president of the
board of trustees Of the University
OF Massachusetts School of Podia-
try-the only school for chirOpodists
in New England. DIR. Bangs took as
his subject Skin Diseases in their

he held the close attention of his au-
