lunge for Raw Beef Carried by
-' Hotel Employe Is Too Much;
Patron Asked to Leave. .
NEW YORK, May 24. A 900-pound
full-grown, buehy-haired lion Sunday
caused much excitement and some la
bor unrest in the Hotel Belleclaire,
where he is sharing a first-floor suite
with his owner. Thomas R. Zann, a
retired lumber merchant of Leaven
worth, Wash., arrived at the hotel
yesterday afternoon with the lion in
a large canvass-covered wooden case,
which was hoisted through a window.
The management thought the case
contained a piano. Mr. Zann called up
the clerk on the telephone yesterday
morning and asked that 15 pounds
of raw beef, the best in the house,"
be sent to his room. The astonished
clerk notified Albert Flather, the
manager, who asked Mr. Zann to
repeat tho order. When it was done
Flather inquired: Fifteen pounds of
beef? AVhat do you want it for?"
"What do I want it for? To eat,"
came the reply.
Lion Lfap for Raw Beef.
The beef was obtained by a waiter
and when he entered Mr. Zaan's room
Jim was on a window seat, but the
sight of raw beef was too much. Jim
made one lunge and in a few seconds
was sole owner of the beef. His
knees knocking together, the waiter
ran to Flather and told him, "The
thing that came in the piano box was
a ferocious lion.
The manager informed the patron
that he and 'his pet must leave at
once. Then he went to the- police
station and asked that men be sent to
put the lion back in his cage. Patrol
men entered the room lafr with
drawn revolvers and found Mr. Zann
stroking his pet's head. At the in
sistence or Mr. Flather, Zann put Jim
back in the cage and the door was
locked with a huge padlock.
Mr. Zann says he has had Jim since
the lion was a cub. . Manager Flather
took the key to the padlock.
Zoo Bear Uoes Wandering:.
The police scarcely had finished
their mission when word was received
that Black Prince, a 650-pound black
bear, had escaped Saturday night aij
was being hunted by a squad of armed
police in the Bronx.
The bear climbed the bars of his
cage in the zoo and later was seen
making his way along the Boston
post road. Keepers and police be
gan following his tracks. The search
lasted for more than 12 hours, when
the animal was killed by Chief For
ester Merkle just as it was about to
climb a tree on Gun Hill road. Black
Prince had been a pet but became
vicious and was kept in a cage by
himself. Jean Lefwich, a negro keep
er, saw the bear climbing the pickets
surrounding nis cage ana sounded an
alarm, but when the night keepers
arrived Black Prince was gone.

Change in Policy.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON, May 24. (Special Cable.)
It is generally conceded that the
Brisish cabinet is taking: a step in the
right direction in that, as announced
in the ministerial press, it has decid
ed to abandon the policy "of indis
criminate arrest in Ireland; raiding of
private houses and imprisonment
without trial solely at police or mili
tary discretion without evidence ca
pable of be ins produced in court.
It Is, of course, taken as a confes-
lon that the policy has failed, but,.
worse than that, by the destruction
f the national constitutional party
has thrown the country into the
hands of the extremists, with their
ival policy of retaliatory violence.
The inference is inevitable that the
work of these extremists, not the
wakened sense of justice orr the part
f Dublin Castle, has produced the
hange now foreshadowed..
Following the unbroken precedent in
Great Britain's perennial oscillations
betwech coercion and conciliation, the
atter move, to save the face of Dub-
in Castle, is to be accompanied by an
ncreased show of military force and
II except the favored Orange section
will be subjected to military .law in
ffect, although not in name. Whether
his will placate the extremists re
mains to be seen, especially as a
eemingly drumhead court marial is
the form of trial to be allotted any
one suspended under Chief Secretary
Hamar Greenwoods reformed admin
istration.

Success of Measure in Pres
ent Form Is Doubted.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 24. (Spe
cial.) A 7-cent fare on the munic
ipal street railway is provided In
the ordinance which was presented to
the city council as an emergency
measure this afternoon by Councilman
Thomson.
Passage of the ordinance would re
quire seven favorable votes. The
measure would be effective as soon
as it Is signed by the mayor. In the
ordinary course of events ordinances

Indications at the city hall are that
the bill cannot pass in its present
form.
Councilmen Carroll and Tindall are
expected to lend the. movement for a
cent rate. Oliver T. Krickson is
strongly opposed to an increase of
any sort. R. B. Hesketh and A. T.
Drake are out of the city on leaves of
absence.
Councilman Thomson is the only
councilman to date who has definitely
announced his intention to fight for
the 7-cent fare, although it is be
lieved likeiy that he will be supported
by President Haas and William Hick
man Moore
The plan urged by 'Mayor Caldwell
would place the fare at 6 cents.

who arrived home yesterday from
California where he was elected

"From conversations I had it ap

all want to come and it looks like
the majority of those who want to
come are coming. It is the talk of

is going to put on with her electrical
parade and the other features
planned by the Shrine will prove one
of the greatest of advertisements for
the city."
The Shrine auto sight-seeing head

pany yesterday erected a building for

We are anxious to be settled as
soon as possible and get everything

aunng rnrine week ana the way
things are looking we will be able to
show the visitors the time of their
lives. It is not now a Shrine show
so much as a Portland and Oregon
show and as we have boasted so ex
tensively of our scenery, it is up to
us to prove good our boasts. We will
be near a gasoline station where air
