RICHMOND VA. IS
TERRORIZED BY
RAMPANT LION
Circus Jungle Beast Breaks Out
Of Cage And Kills Two
Horses

A terror was let loose in the streets
of Richmond, Va, on Wednesday of
this week when lion connected with
the Hagenback-Wall Circus broke
from it's cage and went on a rampage
It was finally killed by guns from the
police and circus guards.
It's first attack was upon a wagon
horse as the great jungle beast sank
his fangs and claws in the neck of
the horse dragged the animal to the
ground, released him and later attack
ed another horse, biting him through
the head.
Patrolman John Robert Paul, as the
crowd fled in terror, crawled in almost
under the hoofs of the agonied horse
and fired five times from his revolver.
The lion, apparently not seriously in
jured, leaped across the radiator of
an automobile and loped down the
street, taking refuge in the Hawkins
Johann sheet metal works.
Employees fled from the building by
several doors, closing them behind
them, One of the real heroes Of the
event was C. o. Hawkins, who in the
face of danger, rushed past the lion
into the office and carried Miss Edna
Powell, %, out into a parked auto
mobile.
Circus employees hastily erected a
runway so that the beast could not
run back into the street if he broke
open the doors and guard with a
high-powered rifle, accompanied by
policemen, carefully opened one Of
the doors. The guard took deliberate
aim and fired four times at the great
beast, whose roars could be heard in
the street. Then, accompanied by
policemen, the guard entered and one
of the officers finished the wounded
animal with pistol bullet.
The crowd was terror stricken as
the lion broke open the cage and
leaped to the street. Before men and
women and many children had an OPP
portunity to start running the great
beast sprang on the neck Of a horse
pulling one of the wagons and dragged
the animal to the ground.
The crowd cleared the street quick
ly, jamming through doors, fleeing
down side streets and across lots.
The avenue at the point is not thickly
built up, and is near the fair grounds.
After the lion had entered the sheet
metal works about 200 yards from the
scene of the escape, the more venture
some came back on the streets and
proceeded cautiously to see what
would happen, until police officers
forced them back. They could hear
the lions roars in the building.

AMERICAS CUP
THREATENED BY
INVADING BOAT
British Yacht, EndeavOr, Has
Won First Two Races Over
Defender, Rainbow

At this writing it looks as if the
old schooner "America," now lying
moored at the Naval Academy wharf,
Annapolis, will have to raise its flag
at half mast, paint its; hull back, and
drape it's rigging in funeral black.
Eighty-three years ago, this vessel
sailed to England to match it's speed
with the best the Royal Yacht Squad
ron could produce. The course was
around the Isle of Wight, and NIGH
ty concourse of people turned out to
view the contest, including Queen Vic
toria and her suite.
AS the first sail hove in sight on
the run home the Queen asked one of
her attendants:
"What boat is leading?"
america, your Majesty" was the
reply.
(Which is second?" was the next
question.
"There is no second" came the an
swer.
And so it was. Periodically at
tempts have been made to recover the
cup which the america" brought
home, and which is now in the possess
ion of the New York Yacht Club.
Over $75,O0O,000 have been spent to-
gether by challengers and defenders
in the contest for the old cup which
cost about $500. But, up till this
month all attempts of the British to
recapture the prize have proved un-
availing. The United States designers
and builders have always succeeded
in turning out faster craft and the
historic mug seemed destined to be
chained to these shores indefinitely.
Notably among the challengers was
the late Sir Thomas Upton who spent
millions in search of a boat which
could transport the cup to it's native
land. shamrock" after "Sham-
rock" crossed the sea to contest the
Yankee boats, but the old Sport died
before he could realize his ambition.
Scotland and Canada tried their luck
with no better results.
But this year, T. o. M. Sopwith has
brought over yacht "Endeavor" by
name, which has twice showed her
heels to the Yankee entry, in races
that took place on Monday and Tues
day. and the British boat looks to be
the master of Rainbow" in weather
which furnishes any sort of breeze.
On Saturday, Of last week, the boats
could not finish because of light airs,
but when the race was called off,
Rainbow was leading by three-eights
of a mile. In the first race finished
on Monday, a 15-mile out and the
same distance in, Rainbow turned the
buoy ahead but when the run-in be-
bofer the wind began, Endeavor show
ed her superiority and crossed the
line half mile to the good.
On Tuesday, sailing a triangular
course, 10 miles to the leg, Rainbow
held the lead to the first turn, round
ing the buoy IL seconds ahead. At
ter that, the challenger opened out,
and the race was over. Today, (Thurs-
day. the sloops go again and it is
hoped the Rainbow will pick up and
stop the visitor in it's mad course to
the cup. Thousands are watching the
races in boats and millions are listen
ing to the broadcasts of the sailing.
AS said in the beginning, the Gamer
ica's" prize seems destined to change
it's home and from England's coast to
beckon Yankee yachtsmen to end it's
exile.

CEDARIZED CONTAINERS DON'T STOP
 CLOTHES MOTHS.

The mere odor of cedar does not protect cloth ing from moth attack Cedarized cardboard closets and cardboard boxes offered the public for protecting winter clothing and blankets against colthes-moth damage will not themselves safeguard the articles stored in them During the past summer and fall entomoogists of the United States Department of Agriculture made tests of closets and chests inn pregnated with cedar oil cedar chips and the results indicated that many of these containers are worthless when used in accordance with the nstruc- tons issued with their sale.
 The experiments also proved that moths have no difficulty in crawling into most kinds of card board containers, unless all cracks, holes, and gaps are sealed with adhesive tape heavy gummed paper or unless the box is wrapped in outer covering of strong unbroken wrapping paper so folded under at the ends that moths get in. Otherwise, once inside the females lay many eggs and the eggs hatch into worms, which are not killed by the cedar odor, but continue to grow and much damage by feeding the wooen materials stored in the box.
 The specialists of the Department do not believe that such cardboard closets and boxes can be de- pended for moth protection unless the articles stored in them are sprnkled plentifully with flake naphthalene paradichorobenzene crystals and the cracks about the doors of the closets and lids of the boxes carefully sealed with adhesive tape.

WARNS AGAINST NATIONALIST.

Sir George Paish, the distinguished English economist, is visiting in this country one of his periodical tours calling upon the great and near great in the fields of government, business and finance It will be recalled that three years ago on similar visit here he gave voice to some predic- tons as to the future course of developments in banking and in security prices which later events proved to have been uncannily accurate.
 At a private luncheon in Boston recently he addressed gathering of some 20 bankers and business men in the of which he sounded a note of alarm in respect to the suicidal policy of nationalism now so rampant in all countries The growing tendency of nations to refrain from trading with each other, according to the noted Englishman, contains the seed of worldwide econ- omic collapse
 The burden of private, corporation and national debt, also, he says is breaking the back of every great nation and the only way out, he believes, is through intelligent leadership the part of the United States and Great Britain, working through the League of Nations to the end that all the great powers may that to persist along present nationalisc lines is to invite frightful disaster

THE M'LEOD BILL.

Blocked in the House by a parliamentary move on the part of the majority organization, sponsors of the so-called Mcleod bill to pay off deposits in closed banks have turned to the Senate where a similar measure reposes to get action started. The Administration is definitely opposed to It's passage and the weight of the President has been thrown against it.
 Secretary Morgenthau speaking for the Ad- lninistration gave to the House committee search ing and hostile analysis of the bill and brought out vvdly the fact that the cost would be far in excess of any possible benefit, and the menace of Federal guaranty, which the measure really amounts to- of all deposits, past, present and future' at the behest of a small minority of depositors
 The Morgenthau memorandum in detail brings out apart from facts and figures, all too common danger H. such neasures-the creation of too broad precedent and authority by sweeping employment of titles and descriptive second sections" which set up purposes that might lead far afield Thus the McIeod bill it is noted, declares its proposals are safety in all Federal Reserve member banks as a by-product of governmental supervision. This doc Urine might well be dangerously stretched to cover not only agricultural credit and land banks, but also any other business at all supervised by the Government-which in extremity might even reach to liquor sales radio, railroads and losses on securities under the Securities Act or under the Fletcher -Rayburn stock market regulation bill if it becomes law.
 MT. Morgenthau has rendered timely service to point out general dangers well as specific defects

Judith read this last, then sat up and called, "Delphy. want to go to Houston with me tomorrow"
 What you say?"
 "I've got to leave for Houston on the morning train, don't you want to come along? I'll have to stay there about month"
 Delphy came in, her voluminous white cotton night dress half GOV cred with a skimpy, hand-me-down kimono of Mrs. Dale, senior.
 Twill you brung me back when you come?" she asked dubiously.
 "Of course" answered Judith, then added, providing come back"

 JUDITH was back in Houston. The J peace of the Bayou City, after the months she had spent on the plains, was gradually relieving the tension of the journey. Mrs. Cunard had met her at the station, installed her in a guest room, and put Delphy in a room in the servants quarters.
 "Lige sent your trunks over this morning." she said, "so Delphy can unpack for you. have to go to a luncheon and a board meeting of my pet charity. I would have made arrangements for you to go with me, but thought you'd rather rest.

 Delphy appeared at one o'clock with a lunch tray, the morning newspapers and a wordy explana tion of her absence due to the yard man being Lige's new wife's step mothers uncle by marriage. and fl Miss Judy wasn't needin' her that night he'd drive Delphy out to meet the bride, Rosa Williams-Grant.
 "Go, by all means" said Judith and turned to the newspapers. She gleaned little things from the society columns, important among them being that Mrs. J. Anthony Dale would remain in New York until the holidays, as she was mak ing an intensive study of the science of bridge, with the intention

 She parked her car on the dirt road, climbed over the padlocked gate and shuffled through the oak leaves to the barbecue pit. She loo. ed towards the low white ser wants house. Someone had come out, slamming the door little. The man was white =. she could see that much before he jammed bat tered straw hat over his head.
 He was planting something. un- occasionally winter stock in the bed 5he had planned to use for that purpose. She was positive she had mentioned it to no one but Norman.
 Deliberately she turned away. Must she think every man she saw was her husband? She looked back. the straw hat had been removed. Dark curls were revealed. Without looking again towards Hillendale, she backed into the road and went rushing along to the high way.
 Tha house was astir, laughter came from the kitchen, singing from the garage. Judith caught a glimpse of Mrs. Cunard's silvery white head beyond hedge which protected the rose garden. Delphy, talking to her daughter-in-law's stepmother's uncle by marriage, caught sight of her mistress and came trundling across the paved driveway to meet her.
 "Mo'nin', Mig Dale, how you-all this mo'nin'?" Delphy was in high fettle. Judith looked at her sus- piciously.
 "Delphy," she said, staring up di- rectly into the dark eyes, lis Mister Norman at Hillendale?"

 Judith felt relieved. Norman's mother was staying out of town dur ing the embarrassing hours ot the will contest.
 Clia's newspaper carried a fea- ture story which Judith read with low chuckles, then laid aside to telephone her friend.
 "I'm hoping you won't have to an- nounce my arrival" she told her. after exchanging greetings. "Pd like day or two to look around be- fore your fellow-scribes are at my heels"
 Clia agreed and Judith spent the rest of the afternoon drowsily browsing through the books Mrs. Cunard had left available. CHE was awake at dawn next U morning. Cautiously she tiptoed out to the garage. Mrs. Cunard had said she might use the small blue roadster and had given her the key the night before. Delphy's escort was awake, pottering about the gar den, and unlocked the garage doors and then she was away, the silver tip of the cars nose headed towards Hillendale.
 She would go in by the lower road, the one they had built to ac- commodate crowds going to their barbecue pit, and she would slip

 HURRIED SUMMONS

IUDITH stood in the doorway and o watched the Scoggins family go down the hill. She shivered d little in the slightly chill air, and turned back to find Delphy regarding her with awe.
 Told you. didn't I, that it were Pig Tom who threw that lightnin'." And then as an afterthought, This here mail comed in w..ile the Scog- gins man was a talking, they brought it in the back door,"
 Judith undressed and had her chocolate and massage. Then, Oelphy satisfied, she slid under the covers, the mail in her lap.
 A letter from Clia, filled with rambling gossip-one from Cunard at Washington saying he was en route home-a letter from Mrs. Cunard asking her to be her guest, during the trial, and then letter from Judge Morgan.
