and was so stunned at seeing a full
grown lion slttii.g on a purple plush
divan, gazing down at the Broadway
crowds, that he let out one yelp and
went away from: there, leaving the door
wide open. Then came a pursuit through
the corridors which ended with Zann
smacking Jim smartly .? over the chops
and leading the shamed lion back to
the piano crate in the room. ?
Zann explained that the lion was
awarded to him on a writ of attachment
three yvars ago when a circus broke up
out in Leavenworth. Jim has grown
right considerable since then, and Zann
is taking him back to Africa to turn
him loose in the jungles rather than
commit him to a zoo.
. Ji:a and Zann leave the hotel Monday

spend the rest of their sojourn here in

PORTLAND LIBRARY
SUPPLIES VESSELS
WITH MANY BOOKS
Twenty-three merchant vessels
leaving- Portland this year have been
supplied with 2170 books and 515
magazines. Three of the vessels have
been twice served by the American
Library association through the
Portland library. -:
Any merchant marine vessel leaving
Portland may obtain a set of books by
application to Central library,' which
may be returned upon the return of the
vessel and exchanged . for another set,
either in Portland or at any other city
having a branch of the American
Library association.
GO WITHOUT BOOKS
"Strange as it may seem," says Miss
Zulema Kostemlatsky, acting librarian,
"It is a little difficult to give things
away at least we have been finding it
so with these books. We have done ail
the' advertising we can by distributing
placards, personal efforts and telephone
calls, and yet boats do get away with
out books. The ones to whom we have
sent collections have been most appre
ciative and some of them are now com
ing for their second ' and third collec
tions. The captains all tell us that . if
others knew bow much easier it was for
the men and the officers when a collec
tion of books is on board they would
make decided efforts to obtain them."
The British mercantile marine is now
emulating the educational work of the
American Library association: in supply
ing libraries for the merchant crews
and plans through the proposed library
service to give merchant , seamen in
Great Britain opportunity to develop
their education along lines of their own
choosing. The program will benefit at
least 150,000 men.

live, but indications point to her early
recovery. The fact that the gun used

lieve that Mrs. BJorklund fired the shot.

Peace Resolution
Goes to Wilson for
Slaughter Today
By CniW Xrwu.)
Washington, May 24. The Knox pesce
resolution, duly signed by the speaker
of the house, will be sent to the presi
dent Monday, after the signature of Vice
President Marshall has been secured.
Only the vice president's absence from
the senate chamber at the time the
corrected and engrossed bill was sent
over from the house prevented the presi
dent receiving it Saturday.
That the president will make his veto
of the resolution the occasion also for a
stinging word-lashing of the Republican
congress is taken as a foregone conclu
sion by Democratic leaders in both
houses. It is understood that he will op
pose the resolution itself on the ground
that it seeks to usurp an executive func
tion and constitutes, unwarranted med
dling In diplomatic affairs on the part
of the congress.
The prospc?ts of re-passage of the
resolution over the president's veto are
exceedingly slim, as it was 21 votes' short
of the necessary two-thirds majority in
the senate and 62 votes shy of it In the
house.
