Pigmy Hippo Hauled 40 Miles
To Ship Bound for DC. Zoo
:, DR.. Mann Collecting Rare Specimens,
Due to Reach Norfolk Next Month

The natives who carried her on
their backs more than 40 long miles
through the Liberian bush we're glad
she was only pigmy hippopotamus.
Even so, the pet Of Zoo Director
William M. Mann's collecting ex-
pedition to West Africa weighs sew
eral hundred pounds on the hoof
and at least 100 pounds when in
stalled in her jungle-made crate.
The natives worked by relays
packing the miniature hippo out to
the coast, for they didn't want her
to miss her boat-the steamship
West Irmo. which DR.. Mann is now
loading at Monrovia with the
strange creatures he has collected
during four months in the field.
Rare Specimens Found.
The Smithsonian -Firestone expe-
dition, which DR.. Mann heads, has
captured, bought and bartered for
a large and colorful groups of beasts,
birds and reptiles, several of which
have never been seen in this coun-
try, it was said. The animals have
been assembled with the aid of
hundreds of native hunters and
beaters and the cooperation of Of

lopes, porcupines, hornbills, some
rare crocodiles, several crates of
monkeys, colorful birds and strange
frogs, lizards and snakes.
In addition are duikers-tiny
antelopes no larger than rabbits
and water chevrotains or mouse
deer, a spotted deer-like creature
which inhabits swampy areas.
Due in Norfolk Next Month.
The West Irmo is expected to ar
rive at Norfolk, Va, about the first
of next month, and the animals
will be brought Immediately to
Washington. Most of the collec-
ton will be placed on display at
once, although the hoofed stock will
be quarantined for several weeks as
a precaution against contagious dis
eases.
Liberia has remained almost un-
exploited by animal collectors, and
Dr.. Mann is expected to show up
with few geological surprises. An
old campaigner. he Is shy about
naming his catch in advance lest
the hardshsps of the long ocean
voyage claim a toll among his prize

The Zoo has acquired few new
specimens since DR.. Mann left last
February, and a number of empty
cages await the arrival of the West

Witnesses Favorinq
EIgen Reappointmeni
To Be Heard Today
Three Appear Against
Him, but Two Complain
Chiefly Of Power Firm

Witnesses favorable to the re-
appointment of Riley E. Elgen to a
three-year term as chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission were to
be heard at pm. today, when public
hearings were to be resumed in the
Senate District Committee room at
the Capitol
Three witnesses appeared yester-
day against Mr.. Elgen, but two of
them directed most of their COM
plants against the Potomac Electric
Power Co. The three were Mrs.
Myrtle De Months of 1346 Fairmont
street NV. John A. Savage of 1903
Fairmont street NV. and Mrs. Mar
garet Hopkins Worrell of the Co.
lumbia Heights Citizens Association.
Mrs. De Months and Mr.. Savage
said they were unable to get hear
ing from the commission in their
complaint against the power COM
pany. Mr.. Savage objected to the
company requirement of a deposit
from one with good credit standing.
he SAID tne company was wrongly
valuated by the commission and was
receiving too much money for street
lighting The District is being
charged more for street lighting than
the citizens are for commercial
lighting, he said.
Mrs. Worrell said her association
had passed "a strong resolution call
ing for abolition of the commission"
because it failed to give attention to
the public.
What would you substitute for
the commission?" asked Senator
Capper.
I'VE didn't &C into that" said Mrs.
Worrell.
Mr.. Elgen was first appointed to
the commission in 1882 and his
denomination was sent to the
Senate July l. Senator King has
predicted speedy confirmation of
Mr.. Elgen, who was present at yes
terday's session but did not testify.
Senators McCarran and Capper
comprise the subcommittee holding
the hearing.

Civil Service Status Urged
For Stadium Jobs

Jobs at the proposed national
stadium in Washington should not
be given to non-civil service en-
ployes, Harry B. Mitchell, president
of the Civil Service Commission,
told Chairman Randolph of the
House District Committee today.
Mr. Mitchell wrote to Representa-
tive Randolph opposing provision
in bill providing for construction
of the national stadium, sponsored
by Representative Nichols, Demo-
crat of Oklahoma, that would permit
its employees to be appointed with
out civil service status.
"The commission feels" said Mr..
Mitchell, that employments of this
nature should be open competitively
to the public who pay the bills; also,
that the public business should be
carried on in an efficient and eco
nomical manner"
He urged that the Nichols bill
be amended to require that all per-
sonnel appointments be subject to
the merit system established by
the Civil Service Act and rules.
