Another collecting trip to a distant
quarter of the world lies ahead Of
Malcolm Davis, chief keeper of the
birdhouse at the Zoo, who will sail
from New York for Calcutta, India,
on February IL to bring back an
Indian rhinoceroS.
Mr.. Davis, who accompanied the
recent Smithsonian-N National Geo.
graphic Society expedition to Su-
matra, and who has spent many
vacations in Cuba and Central
America collecting birds for the Zoo,
Is expected to return with number
of birds, reptiles and animals In
addition to the rhino.
The young Indian rhino, one OF
the most valuable exhibition ami
mails in the world. was captured
for the local Zoo last fall in the
1ungles of Assam by the forest
service maintained by the British
government.
1t now is at the Calcutta ZOO.
Mr.. Davis will take along a model
of a crate to be built in India for
the rhino after design worked
out by Head Keeper w. H. Black
burne. who learned how to handle
heavy animals in transit while help
ing to care for the elephant Jumbo,
of circus fame.
The crate will have to be large
enough to provide comfortable

quarters during voyage OF more
than a month for heavy animal
whose life is insured for several
thousand dollars.
1t will have to be strong enough
to withstand the stress OF a storm
at sea and light enough to keep the
freight bill down.
Mr.. Davis will spend several weeks
in India buying birds, cobras and
various animals along instructions
given him by DR.. William M. Mann,
Zoo director.
The principal keeper will have
plenty of time on his hands turing
the outward journey, so he plans to
take along lot of books-about
birds. On the return he knows from
past experience how busy he'll be
caring for one-man menagerie.
Returning with the Sumatra ex-
pedition Mr.. Davis was in the
ships hold catering to his live
cargo while the ship passed such
interesting places as India, the
Suez Canal, Gibraltar, etc.
The work, however, failed to
dampen his enthusiasm for Sec
ond trip. He probably will return
in May, when the North Atlantic
is not too cold for the tropical ami
mails.

BruIatour Shooting

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The real
life riddle of who shot Cock
Robin?"-in the financially we'll
feathered person of Jules E. Brula-
tour, 68. Aim magnate husband Of
pretty blond Hope Hampton, actress
-deepened tonight as a reported
heart attack barred further ques-
tioning of the wounded millionaire.
The elderly Manhattan man
about-toWn is under arrest in his
suite at a hospital, on a charge OF
Sullivan gun law violation, in con-
nection with the mysterious shoot
ing at his Park avenue home last
Sunday which left him with bull
let in his neck.
IT did it accidentally while clean
ing a gun" Mr. Brulatour told de-
tectives when the tragedy was
finally reported after a 36-hour
delay.
Wonder "Who Shot Him."
But District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey's investigators wondered how
he could have shot himself so that
the bullet graZed the side of his
head, plunged downward and lodged
in his neck.
eve are still wondering who shot
him." said Dewey spokesman.
Under arrest for possession of an
unlicensed revolver, Mr.. Brulatour
blandly and with mild twinkle in
his eye pulled the weapon from
under his hospital bed pillow and
surrendered it only after detectives
had started ranSacking his luxurious
Park avenue house for clues.
Previously, he had said he "de-
stroyed' both the revolver and the
leaden pellet which was extracted
from his neck.
Then, too, there was the enigma
of second revolver which Brula-
tours physician, DR.. Carl Theobald,
said he saw.
And to complete the Frenchlike
farce in which the gendarmes are
humorouSly stalemated, there was
the piquant reticence of Brulatours
dazzling and popular young wife.
Makes WOrdless Exit.
Miss Hampton was hailed by sub
poena before the grand jury, but
Mr.. Dewey's aides had to let her
make majestic, wordless exit with
her three chaperoning maids and
liveried chauffeur when she refused
to waive immunity.
She wouldn't talk.
Attempts to elicit the inside
story" of the shooting from Brula-
tour himself were stymied, tenn
porarily at least, when DR.. Franz
Groedel, Park avenue cardiac spe-
cialist, was hurriedly summoned to
Brulatour's bedside and emerged to
announce:
Il have ordered a complete rest
and no visitors whatever except the
immediate family for an indefinite
period"
The whatever" presumably ap-
piled to the aforementioned frus-
trated gendarmes.
Mr.. Dewey's Office said tonight
that if Mr.. Brulatour had recovered
sufficiently over the week end, he
would probably be arraigned on the
gun-law charge Monday or Tuesday.

Dewey Seeks 10 Link
Hines With Racket
In |son Testimony
Witness Describes Inner
Workings Of Pennies
From Harlem
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Through the
testimony of Joe big Spasm" Ison
48. one-time Harlem policy banker
District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey
today attempted to link James j
Hines with $4,000 ,000-a-year
gambling racket.
Mr.. Dewey has accused hines OF
exerting his influence as Tammany
district leader to protect the gigantic
numbers-game syndicate organized
by the late gang leader, Dutch
Schultz.
Testifying as prosecution witness
In Hines second trial-The first
ended in a mistrial last Fall-Ison
injected the veteran political chief
tains name when he described inner
working of the so-called pennies
from Harlem" conspiracy.
The witness, who derived his pic
turesque nickname from facial con-
tortions when he held good hand
in poker games, said his first intima-
ton that Hines was allegedly in
volved in the racket came in April
or May, 1882.
Asked About Item.
At that time, he said, he asked
George Weinberg, Schultz business
manager, and J. Richard c'Dlxie')
Davis, the mob's kid mouthplece,
to explain a s125 item on the policy
banks books.
II was informed" Ison said, "that
the item was contribution going
to Jimmy Hines club"
The item, he added, thereafter
appeared on the books every week
Mr.. Dewey charged in the first
trial that the four banks in the
gambling combine were assessed
$125 each to make up $500 weekly
which Mr.. Dewey contended went
to Hines.
Later in December, 1882, Ison tes-
tilted, police raided his policy bank
and arrested 26 employees who were
subsequently discharged by the late
City Magistrate Francis j. Erwin.
Three Officials Named.
In this connection, Mr.. Dewey
charged in the first trial that Mag
istrate Erwin was one of three city
officials, including Magistrate HUI
Ion J. Capshaw and former District
Attorney William Copeland Dodge,
whom Hines allegedly influenced,
tntimated or bribed" on behalf of
the Schultz mob.
Mr.. Dewey asked Judge Charles
c. Mott, jr, to instruct the jury
that Magistrate Erwin improperly
discharged the 26 policy prisoners.
Amid vigorous objections by chief
of the defense counsel. Lloyd Paul
Stryker, Judge Mott said if he de-
cided later that the discharges
were improper he would SO instruct
the jury.
The trial was adjourned until
Monday.

When oxygen is administered dur

this reason it is practical to have
an oxygen apparatus placed IN the

In some patients the use OF oxy-

Gus, nor do l believe that the bro
mide steps up or increases the toxic
effects of the acetanilid.
Acetanilid poisoning usually ap-
pears in individuals who do not
know that they are taking acetani-
lid. They get into the habit of TAX
ing a pick-me-up in the morning.
The symptoms of acetanilid poi
soning consist in a change in the
complexion. constipation and men,
tai depression. The complexion
assumes peculiar muddy appear
ance. the lips get blue. The color of
the skin is hard to describe, but
friends usually say something to
the effect that "John doesn't look
very well; he must have anemia."
Or more frequently they tell him,
"You look constipated," which
makes him take some more of a
cathartic, usually the very mixture
that has the acetanilid in it. The
muddy complexion is due to the
formation of a new and unnatural
compound in the blood-a sulphur
compound, so the syndrome is called
"sulphanemia."
The condition clears up rapidly
upon withdrawal of the use of the
