TIMBER WOLF KING
 CAUGHT BY POSSE
Leader Of Fierce Tennessee Pack
 Sentenced to Zoo

Memphis. Tenn, March 2S LP - Old Two Toes" king of the timber wolves, must spend the remainder of his life behind bars at the Mem- phis Zoo as penalty for the ruth less crimes he committed when he led his pack through the forests of Arkansas.
 After 10 years of freedom and mastery the gaunt, willy beast was outsmarted by men and dogs in Cross Country, Ark, yesterday and brought here.
 Two Toes" so named because he lost all his toes on his right hind paw except two in traps, is famous in song and story in eastern Arkan- sas. His pack killed sheep and goats by the hundreds and often cows and even bulls were pulled down. Always by the carcasses would be wolf prints and the mark of Two Toes"
 Skilled trappers sought him. Gov ernment hunters trailed him for days, but always he would lead his pack to safety.
 Big Kill ArOuses Law
 Last week his pack slaughtered 4 goats in one day. It was murder, said Sheriff E. l.. Cooper, so the law look a hand. Cooper and James Robertson, deputy prosecuting attor- ney, organized a hunt for the crim- inal. The best dogs in eastern Ar kansas were ordered. Twenty-Five hounds and their owners met the sheriff and Robertson in Wynne, Ark, yesterday and set out to cap- ture Two Toes" The hounds found Aim at dawn and followed him and his pack across the ridges. He tried many of his old tricks, doubled back, and even went into the swamps, But the hounds kept their noses to the dirt.
 Before a. m.. Two Toes" pack had scattered and the king was sore- ly pressed. Three hours later the hounds found him, exhausted and conquered, in a hollow log. The hunters spread a net around one end Of the log and captured him.
 He weighed 9S pounds. Govern ment trappers said he was the larg- est wolf they had ever seen.

VENDORS GIVEN
MORE REIN

The Merchants and Manu-
facturerS Association, after two
years of war, has lost its first
major battle, in its attempt to
abolish street vending Of Ice
cream.
Strict enforcement of an old
police regulation, by which street
vendors were required to stand in
fixed localities and, outside these
localities, were permitted to stop
only long enough TO make a sale,
was advocated by the association.
The regulation also provided that
street vending cease after 10 p. m.
Following complaints Of police
persecution by the street vendors,
the. District Commissioners con-
Quoted hearing into the matter
and agreed upon an amendment
to the regulation.
The new regulation prohibits
the vendors from the contested
area" and from arterial highways
and boulevards, but are permitted
to stand on other streets for half
an hour, and are allowed to con-
tinue business until midnight.

for trial before the committee on
episopacy Of the general con-
ference, II he is tried at all.
Church officials explained to-
day the procedure as follows:
Bishop AinSworth, with whom
the charges were filed, must de-
eide when to appoint q committee
Of IL elders from the church at
large. This ecclesiastical grand
jury" must then determine If
Bishop Cannon shall stand trial.
May be Suspended
Cannon's rights win be fully
protected, and II probable cause"
is found, he may be suspended
pending trial before the general
church conference, which does
not meet until 1884.
A general conference might
be called before that time, but
churctmen declare such o pro-
cedure would be most unusual
and highly improbable" Such
a conference, called especially to
pass on Cannon'S guilt or inno-
cence, would be an expensive one,
1t was explained.
The impression prevailed that
present charges against the dry
leader go far beyond those result
ing from his stock dealings, on
which he was tried and "ac-
quilted" at the last general con-
ference at Dallas.
Political Activities
The committee of elders Sc
lected by Bishop Ainsworth to
sift the charges would have a1-
thprity to go into all matters
related to Cannon's activities,
some Of which, churchmen be-
lieve, so beyond proper church
activities.
Notable among these are said
to be his political activities dur
ing the last Presidential cam
paign.
It was recalled today that dur
ing the Dallas trial. Cannon ap-
peared before the committee on
Episcopacy with q letter Of re-
pentence.
Acceptance Of this brought the
trial to sudden close. In the
opinion Of some church leaders
1t was actually mo trial It. al" I"
but the conference merely passed
on his character i1nder the
church law.
