Los feroces

NADIA a pagan a varios c~entenares de
personals que ne tienen mas mission
que "decorar ell parque y los jardi-
mes del palacio imperial.
Ell Rey de Reyes, agrega ell perio-
dista, odiaba la soledad y por esta
razon hizo que constantemente Sc al
quilaran q~uinientas, ochocientas o mil
personals de ambos sexos, u no de-
berian tener otra mission que pasear
constantemente por Ell parque Y jar
dimes del palacio imperial a fin de
que a c%ualquier lado que Su Majestad
volviera la vista encontrase a varias
personals. De esta manera guerra
tambien justificar que siempre tenfa
a la vista a sus vasallos.
Los clerigos, oficiales, s~oldados, es-
clavos y esclavas y holgazanes alqui-
lados que deben permaneeer en- los
~jardines del p~alacio, dice NJ. Deven-
gres, no tenian otra diversion que los
famosos leones del Negus.
Los cuatro leones, e~stuvieron STEM
pre- en- ell mismo sitio en- donde los
coloco Menelik ell Grande. Solamen-
tie en- una OCCASION fueron cambiados
de residential, y este fue cuando a fl
mes de 1882, ell palacio imperial fue
motive de grandes Preparedness. Co
mo ell salon del trono fue totalmente
reformado, no hubo en- toao Adds
Abeba, albanil alguno que q~uisiera
TRAFALGAR teniendo a los euatro ami
males a solo unos cuantos metros de
distancia.
Pero aparte de este cambio, los
leones siempre estuvieron encadena-
dos IN ell mismo lugar hasta ell mo-
n1pnfo nua ron,piarop . loo nolapoe ~
huyeron del palacio.
Mas desde csc momento, una iris
tea infinita Sc apodero del Negus

peratriz tenia la costumbre de poner-
Sc en- pie ~diariamente a las cuatro de
la manan para vigilar la comida de
sus cuatro leones. Aunque en- reali-
dad los animales parecian muy paci-
ficos, todos los habitantes de Adds
Abeba, temian que c%ualquier dia rom
pieran las cadenas y Sc lanzaran So
bre la poblacion, debido a que no Sc
tenia ninguna ~precaucion para evil
tar y fuga.
La emperatrz, al igual que ell en-
perador, dada la docilidad de los leo
mes, hsbian llegado a Greer que Sc
trataba de an.males sagrados que, en-
efecto, habian llegado hasta las ma
nos de Menelik ell Grande, no solo
para vigilar ell palacio imperial, sino
para proteger a TODD Ell imperio.
Tai era ell carino que la empera-
triz tenia por los leones, que desa-
fiando todos los peligros, y con ell
optimismo de los d~omadores, Sc acer-
cabe a sus animales y hasta les ha-
cfa caricias.
En- cuarenta amos, los habitantes de
Adds Abeba Sc habian a~costumbrado
a conocer las horas del dia por los
rugidos de los leones del palacio i'm
perial. A las cuatro de la manana
en- punto, los animales rugian. Vol
Wan a hacerlo a las diez para pedir
sus alimentos y por la tarde a las
cuatro.
Solamente en- dos ocasiones Sc oyo
rugir a los leones a horas que no eran
de costumbre. Los credulos haitian
ties de Adds Abeba, seg1n ell perio-
dista, creian que algo anormal iba a
suceder en- ell palacio imperial, y en-
efecto, una noche que los animales
rugieron, fue debido a las numerosas
personals que habian llegado a desho-
ras al palacio imperial para asistir
a los dltimos momentos del Rey de
Reyes.
Amos mas tarde, con motive del ma
trimonio de Selassie, los leones ru-
gieron a las siete de la manana. La
tercera vez rugieron cuando va ha-
bian roto las cadenas y cuando CO.
rrian por los salones del palacio para
luego e%mprender la carrera por las
Gales de la capital del imperio.
Aparte de ser los guardianes del
salon del trono y de las habitaciones
de la e~mperatriz, los leones consti-
tuian la unica diversion de los nu-

WHITE S[AVERS"
TO Be DEPORTED
Many Aliens Found Among
RaCketeers in Drive on
Gangs.

Finding large percentage Of aliens
among racketeers recently rounded
I'D in their widespread attack on
white slave gangs, Federal Bureau of
Investigation officials are collaborat-
ing with Federal immigration authori-
ties in a movement to deport the
offenders.
Steps already are being taken by
Immigration officials to bring about
deportation OF 16 aliens arrested by
G-men and State police in q series
Of spectacular raids in Connecticut.
The deportations would become effec-
tive as soon as the prisoners have
served terms imposed upon them by
the Federal court.
Early deportation of eight aliens
who were held as material Govern
ment witnesses also is being sought,
1t was announced today by j. Edgar
Hoover, director of the F. B. I.
81 Enter Guilty Pleas.
The Connecticut raids smashed a
white slave ring which operated ex-
tensively through Connecticut and
parts of New York. A total of 81
men and women pleaded guilty at
New Haven recently and they received
terms aggregating lis years in Fed
eral prison and fines totaling $4,000.
One of the leaders, Joseph Saledonis.
stood trial and was convicted. He
received 10 years in prison and a
$1,000 fine.
Saledonis was among the members
OF the ring found to be aliens, Hoover
said.
AS a result of the Connecticut op-
erations and of raids in New York,
New Jersey, Washington and else
where, a greater amount of fines has
been imposed on white Slavers during
the past five months than during all
Of the four previous fiscal years COM
bined, F. B. I. records show.
From July to November 80 Of this
year fines for violation of the Mann
white slave act aggregated s77,800,
whereas the total from July /, 1882,
to June 80. 1886, was s73,296.
201 Convictions in Five Months.
During the five-month period there
were 20l convictions, as compared
with 298 during the whole of the fiscal
year ending June 80, and 203 during
the fiscal year before that.
A blow at the migratory white slave
trafic was struck early this month
when Paul Nahas, notorious white
slave racketeer Of Michigan City, Ind,
and Dave Marcus, his associate. were
convicted of importing women into
Miami, Fla, for immoral purposes.
They went to prison for three and
one-half years and were fined $4,000
each.
The Mann act authorizes the F. B.
I. to investigate transportation in in
terstate or foreign commerce Of
women for prostitution, debauchery
or other immoral purpose"

TULSA, Okla, June 24.-Oil men ac-
customed to taking broad view of the
industry weighed controversial indica-
tions in the business today and inclined
generally to the opinion that every
thing was going TO be all right.
Offsetting the warnings Of some au-
thorities that the present trend Of
huge crude oil production would lead
to top-heavy surpluseS, with resultant
collapse of the market, there was avail
able today the Bureau of Mines esti-
mate showing enormous increases in

Recommends Increase.
The bureaus recommended an in
crease of 78,900 barrels daily over June
to meet an estimated demand of O.
917 200 barrels daily. July demand was
estimated at per cent higher than
normal and u per cent greater than
indicated" demand.
To help brighten the prospect was
the action Of the Texas Railroad Com
mission in reducing the States allow
able 56,7l3 barrels daily. The dispo-
sition of the operators to guard closely
against production was shown
further in the recommendation OF the
Oklahoma ALLEGATION Committee, an

Oklahoma's July allowable at about 5

OUTLOOK AT STEEL

Cause Alarm.
Fy the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 24.-The cur
rent steel situation is highly salts
factory, with production holding at
II per cent of capacity, Iron Age re-
ported today
The longer term outlook, the maga-
zine said, is far from encouraging
largely because of labor unrest and
unionization efforts and "the growing
hostility of the Federal Government"
The peak of forward buying at Sec
ond-quarter prices is passed, 1t was
said. and heavy consumer buying
from number Of sources Is admit
tedly prompted by the fear Of labor
trouble as well as by higher third
quarter prices. In stressing the labor
troubles. the periodical pointed out
that one major steel plant has been
closed by a strike for full month.
Fully half of the steel tonnage
booked during June has been prompted
by price advances with the result that
a large proportion of this months
production has been borrowed from
July and August.
"The Federal Trade Commissions S
report on alleged collusive bidding by
steel sheet piling makers and its hasty
acceptance by the administration for
obvious political purposes indicate
quite clearly that the steel industry
has been singled out as the whipping
boy of the political campaign" it was
said. Proposed settlement Of the F.
T. C.'s case against the tin plate
makers" the magazine added, with
a consent decree will only add fuel to

Continued automotive activity and
increased railroad purchases are out
standing factors Buying of ma
chinery and equipment also remains
at an unusually high rate.
Heavy spot demand has stimulated
the scrap market. The magazines
composite price for scrap is unchanged
at $12.75 a gross ton. The pig iron
compilation also is holding at sl8.84 a

ished steel at 2.097 cents pound.

claimed, to pass along the savings of

Charles r. Street, Western man
