ELEPHANTS
ATE Up To
HIS D OWNERS

LOS ANGELES, May %. U.D -
Prince, giant rogue elephant that
gored and trampled his trainer to
death early this week, was saved
from death today when a coron-
er's jury refused to order his exc
cution.
Instead, the jury returned rou-
tine verdict that Joe Reed, 40-year-
old trainer. came to his death by
accident"
Fate of the 7000-pound bull ele-
phant had rested in the jury's
hand, the coroner's office stating
it would be governed by the jury's
recommendation Paul Eagle, rep
resentative of the AL G. Barnes
circus, owner of Prince, had said
he would oppose any verdict that
carried a death penalty.
The jury announced its verdict
after witnesses described Princes
attack on Reed. The trainer had
been working a herd of eight ele
plants when they stampeded. The
others were corralled but Prince
in a mad charge, flung Reed against
a pole, transfixed him with huge
tuSks, then trampled him under
foot. Reed died several hours later
in the Coyina hospital.

DEATH HALTS
WEDD|NG { At
Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, May 23 WP) -
Death defeated by two minutes to-
day a dramatic race of a minister
to reach the bedside of w. D. Cor
coran, 46, retired policeman, and
perform a wedding ceremony.
Corcoran died just as a police
squad approached with the Rev
Thomas Marshall who was to have
united him and Mrs. Leona Hub
bard. 46. in marriage.
The middle-aged coupe had been
engaged more than four years. The
wedding was postponed numerous
times because of Corcoran's failing
health. Early today he had a re-
lapse and physicians abandoned
hope.
Beside herself with grief, Mrs.
Hubbard appealed to L. E. Lamp
ton. deputy county clerk, who as
sured her a marriage license was
not necessary under the circum-
stances. A police squad car was
sent TO bring the Rev. Marshall to
the stricken mans bedside. The
car was within a block OF the house
when Corcoran died.
Corcoran was retired from the
police force IL years ago because Of
injuries suffered in line of duty.

Admiral Byrd's Co,os to
 Journey to Alaska for
 Exhibition at Matarluska

~
 Alaska will be given a rare treat next year when it is given the chance to view herd of rare and genuine Arctic Cows, according to communication sent by the Arc- tic Guernsey Exhibit, with headquar- ters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
 The cows all braved the perils of the South Polar regions with Ad- miral Byrd's second expedition, and now are scheduled for seasons per- formance at Matanuska, with one night stands at Seward andE way points.
 Word of the novel attraction was received in letter sent to the gov ernOr's office, and referred to M s. Whittier, secretary of the Terri torial Chamber of Commerce.
 Purpose of the Alaska junket is to prove that polar dairying is here to stay, according to the sponsors, and that the Guernseys' intrepid milk-giving performances under Ad- miral Byrd were scientific achiev- ment, and not stunt.
 The exhibitors opInion of Mat anuska climate is net very flat tering. however. for they write that "the cows will winter there under conditions similar to those found in the Antarctic at Little America!' Y
 Prima ballerina of the bovine trav- cling show is the one and only Klcn- dike Iceberg-the only bull ever born in the Antarctic. But not, as one cynic observed, the only bull brought back.
 The company will leave Milwaukee on January 1, 1886, and tour southern

CUBA FREES MANY
IN KIDNAPPING PLOT
Most of $500, 900 Ransom
Suspects Released, but
Police Press Case.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAVANA, April 11-All but S or 6
of the 20 suspects arrested in con-
nection with the kidnapping last week
of the young millionaire, Eutimio Falla
Bonet, were released today, but au-
thorities said they were convinced
the crime would be speedily solved.
Police said that among those still in
custody they believed they had the
nucleus of the gang which forced
Falla to pay 100000 ransom in
American currency after he had been
held overnight by the kidnapers.
High officials of the government,
1t was understood, are pushing the
case, with President Carlos Mendieta
assigning his palace secret police to
aid. The prisoners all were held in
communicate.
The ransom paid set a record in
Cuba. Only $4,000 of it has been
recovered.
Bill Found on Woman.
The police said one of the women
held rented the house in the Vedado
residential suburb of Havana where
Falla was held. They said the other
woman had posed as her maid.
One of them, Isolina Castro, had a
500 bill in her possession at her
arrest, according to the police report.
She declared she drew six $100 bills
from the Bank of Boston, paid five
of them on a mortgage and retained
the one which police discovered
Another of those arrested. Jose

seven S100 bills, the serial numbers
of which correSponded with those of
the ransom notes.
Besides the money taken~from the
prisoners. s4.10O was found in the
Bank of Nova Scotia and $500 in
the Banco Comercial. Bank officials
said unidentified persons exchanged
the bills for smaller ones last
Wednesday.
Seizure Occurred in Street.
Falla had told friends last week that
two automobiles blocked the path of
his machine at TWenty-third and
Paseo streets, in the heart of the fash
ionable Vedado Tuesday afternoon.
Several men jumped out, he said,
seized him, and took him and his
chauffeur to a house block away,
where they we're held until the ransom
was paid.
The young millionaire said he had
noticed strangers watching him as he
left his hotel office for several days
prior to the kidnapping.
Although it had been reported Falla
had left by plane for Miami, members
of his family indicated he sailed for
New York aboard the S. S. Santa
Paula.
Letters Received by Family.
Police said Fallas family has re-
ceived two anonymous threatening
letters. believed to be the work of
cranks. A guard has been placed at
the residence.
Falla is the son of the late Laureano
Falla Gutierrez, millionaire sugar
man, and nephew of former Senator
Viriato Gutierrez, prominent in inter-
national sugar circles and one of
former President Gerardo Machado's
leading advisers.
Under Cuban law, kidnapers who
eXtort money under threats of death
may be given the death sentence.
