It's The Some
Language, But:

Adds ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is
Ethiopia's second language and is
being taught in all the country's
schools, but foreign teachers CT
English here are not uniform in
their use of the English language.
Besides, some schools use English
textbooks from England and others
textbooks from America.
There are school teachers from
England, the United States, Can
ada and India. Britishers are in
clined to teach and use the Kings
English Americans, of course,
teach and use American speech and
usage. The Canadians, while their
speech is closer to American than
British, tend to use British spell
ing and usage. The Indians, with
rare exceptions, have an unmis-
taxable foreign accent. Their spell
ing and usage are wholly British.
One of the largest schools here
was for many years stated by
Swedes. and manv of the students
speak English with a Swedish ac-
cent.

CHICAGO'-(P)- Brookfeld Zoo
night keeper Otto Holdik is used to
answering strange questions, but
this one topped them all.
Making his rounds at A. NJ,
he discovered an automobile park
ed inside the zoo grounds. Soon
three young men dressed in tOppers
and frOck coats showed up. They
were fraternity pledges on a mis-

"HOW many bars are there in the
lion house?" one of them asked.
There are 600, and this is no
time to be asking" HOldik replied
gruffly.
After the pledges left, HOldik
counted the bars. There are 618
bars in the Zoos lion house.

The Fox Who Came
To Dinner

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calf. -
H)-A sleek gray fox from the
nearby Verdug0 Hills has made
quite a social climb-from thief to
regular dinner guest at the home
Of John P. Hatteberg. Mr.. Fox and
Mr.. Hatteberg first met over a
plate of table scraps. 1t has been
Hatteberg's nightly habit to set
some scraps outdoors for his cat.
When he noticed that the food was
disappearing before the cat got it,
he set a watch
He surprised the fox and scared
it away. But next night the animal
was back again. Hatteberg, who
likes foxes, figured the polite thing
to do was make the thief welcome.
Now he sets a special plate out
nightly. And promptly at 9:3O-
apparently the fashionable hour for
foxes to dine-the beast trots up
and polishes off his evening meal.

Non Existent House
Costs Money

DIES MOINES-P)-Here's the
sad story of a man who was taxed
for a house that didn't exist and
now can't recover the money.
The county board of supervisors
has turned down the petition of
Leonard c. Hudson. Jr., of Des
mOines for a refund. The county
assessor in 1949 incorrectly listed
Hudson's vacant lot as having a
house on it. Hudson said he didn't
discover the error until after he
paid $118.71 in taxes on the prop
erty last year.
Board members held that Hudson
is not entitled to a refund because
he failed tn file a protest before
the May, 1949, deadline.

Gen. Jacob S. Coxey, Leader
OF JobIess March, Dies at 81
Brought Army Here
To Plead Cause Of
Eosy-Money PIon
By the Asseeioted Press

MASSILLON. Ohio. May 19.-
General" Jacob s. Coxey died
last night. 81 years after his
ragged army Of unemployed
marched into Washington and into
the Nations history.
He was 81. and he spent more
than two-thirds Of that long life
lighting for a losing cause-print-
ling press money the Government
could use without paying interest
to banks.
"Coxey's Army" set out from
here in the spring Of 1894 on a
35-day march to Washington. The
objective was to get Congress to
use the easy-money method for a
giant road-building program to
ease the hardship brought on by
the panic of 1893. The march
failed.
Belief Never Wavered.
But Mr.. Coxey's belief in the
ideas inspiring that march never
wavered. Only five weeks ago on
his birthday he voiced once more
his enthusiasm for money reform
as the answer to the country's eco
nomic troubles.
At his death. he had been in
poor health for several years. But
he was active until a few months
ago. and his mind never lost its
sharpness.
Only three of his eight children
survive him-Jacob of YoungS-
town. David of Cleveland and
Mrs. Ruth Wilson of Darien, Conn.
Funeral services will be held
here Monday.
While his march to Washington
failed. Mr.. Coxey insisted to the
end that the primary object-the
issuance Of interest bonds for
financing ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
inspiration of the good-roads
movement in the Nation. He also
derived satisfaction from the fact
that the initiative and referen-
dunn, for which he was a pioneer
advocate, had been adopted by
some States.
He conceived his idea of road
building as a means of employing
idle men during daily trips by
horse and buggy from his home
and a quarry S miles distant,
which he was then operating. The
actual plan of seeking Govern
ment aid, he often recalled. came
to him in a dream. e.
A friend. Carl Browne. who
came from California. shared his
views and became his chief lieu
tenant. The two gradually evolved
the idea Of a great march of the
unemployed to Washington to
demand that the jobless be put to
work on the roads at the rate of
$3.50 a day for eight hours.
Concerned Over Violence.
The press gave considerable
prominence to the plan. Many
were amused and many more
were concerned over the posi-
bility Of violence. Some of Mr..
Coxey's friends asked him to give
up the idea, but he refused.
But late in March the COM
monweal" army started out from
Massillon. Gen" Coxey rode in
a carriage. his lieutenants were
on horses. the rest of his
nucleus of rs men on foot. The
Evening star., 1951-05-19

press of that time described the
"privates" in the army as mostly
tramps or hoboes. They were un-
shaved. badly clad and sorry
looking. ....-
It began to snow as the army
started its trek. The people of
Massillon were attracted by the
semimilitary atmosphere of the
marcherS. A crowd of q thousand
persons followed the procession
for a time. hooting and laughing.
When the army reached Canton
a crowd of 10000 persons greeted
lit.
Recruits were gradually picked
up at various towns. Order was
maintained and no acts of vio-
lence were committed. In some
towns they were welcomed. fed
and housed for the night. Other
villages closed their doors and the
police hurried the marchers out
of town. At no time did the army
reach 500 persons and desertions
were frequent.
Finally, Washington was
reached on April 80, with the
police on the alert. The strange
procession met a mixed reception,
Ihalf-hearted cheers mingling with
hoots and taunts.
His ragged "army" numbered
only 1856. When Mr.. Coxey at
tempted to speak from the steps
of the Capitol Building, he was
arrested. charged with trespass-
ing.
He paid a fine of S. and started
"a 20-day term in Jail. When he
got out. his followers had disap-
|peared.
Twenty years later a congress
sional committee listened to his
views and he was allowed to speak
from the Capitol steps.
The affair gave him notoriety
that served as a background for
long-continued advocacy of un-
orthodox economic views. Final
ly. after years OF agitation and
running for public Office, he won
the mayorality of Massillon in 1881,
when unemployment again was
pressing national problem.
