BELGIUM ORDERS
RIOTS CRUSHED
Socialists Causing Disturbance
When They Lose Election
Viewed as Plotters.
BRUSSELS, June ft—At an extraor
dinary session of the Belgium cabinet,
held today. It was decided to take the
sternest measures against the Social
ists who have precipitated rioting be
cause the clerical party won In the
■ recent general elections
Rioters will he treated virtually as
| plotters against the stability of the
government.
The premier Issued a statement In
which he said the government Is able
to handle the situation. Orders for
reservists to rally to the colors had
been Issued on election today before
any demonstration had been made.
There are cases where members of
the clvl< guard, the militia of the king
dom. refused to take arms against the
rioters, hut these were few snd scat
tered.
The situation at Verviers Is the most
serious in the kingdom. At least 50
rioters have been either killed or
wounded in street fighting there. More
than a dozen gendarmes were shot.
The Socialists wrecked a large part of
the city and burned a number of build
ings.
Women Fight With Rioters.
Fifteen efforts were made to fire pub
lic buildings and Roman Catholic
churches in this city last night. Mem
bers of the municipal fire department
became so exhausted answering fire
alarms soldiers had to be substituted.
Thousands of women are up in arms
in the antl-clerieal movement Re
ports from scenes of disorders say that
many women have been killed and
wounded In fighting
One of the chief issues at stake was
the demand of the Socialists and trade
unionists that the plural franchise be
abolished. This gives an educated and
wealthy man three votes, whereas a
citizen too poor to own property has
only one vote

Beppo. the shaggy monk of the Grant
park zoo. attempted suicide this morn
ing A skipping tone had been left
In his <age by a child, and with one
end of it around his neck and another
tied to a beam. Beppo leaped twenty
feet to the ground.
Fortunately, he had neglected to tie
the knot securely and the rope slipped.
Immediately the whole place was in
an uproar The several kin«men of
Beppo rushed in and about the cage
with hysterical chatters. The lion tn a
distant < age roared his loudest, and the
Jackals whipped about in their cells,
uttering strange, plaintive cries.
There was one of the monkey contin
gent. how'ever, that refused to come
near the fallen Beppo. In the Slight
moment he was hurtling through the
air holding the belief that the rope's
end would bring him death, be had shot
a glapce at her. Though slight, there
was pathos crowded into it. When he
struck the ground, she paid no atten
tion, but continued to scamper about in
her corner
Beppo in Gloomy Silenee,
After the excitement had quieted,
friends of Beppo began making inqui
ries into the cause of his hasty at
tempt at self-destruction Beppo would
make no response, but crowded into a
corner and sat in gloomy silence all the
morning
But they all got together and com
pared notes on Beppo He had been
seeing strangely of late. Os course, he
was always a philosopher. He was the
kind of monkey who would regard a bag
of peanuts critically before laying hold
of it, because he knew that such an
action would bring a second gift.
But philosophy was not responsible—
could not have been responsible—for
the dull disquiet which had hedged him
about since the slender chimpanzee had
been brought to the zoo direct from
some African shore.
Beppo had been a monk untouched
by sentiment. None of the feminine
of his tribe could lure him from the
placid indifference which he wore all
the time. Rut <>f late it had been differ
ent
When the chimpanzee was first
placed In the < age he had approached
her bearing gifts. He carried her flow
ers—carnations that a springtime wooer
had thrown through the grating, and
peanuts and bits of candy. She scorned
them all
The first rebuff made no particular
difference to Beppo. He felt she was
playing a game. He persisted. He
would follow her from limb to limb,
swinging by other than his hands. He
would gain a position where she could
see him and then make hazardous leaps
through the air such as no other monk
would try. But nothing he could do
seemed to penetrate that calm Indif
ference of the girl chimpanzee from
A fries.
Evan a Mrrror Fail* to Win Her.
One day he found a mirror and gave
it (<> her When she caught sight of
herself she laughed, and Beppo was
mightily pleased He xvas sure then
that the mirror xvas a piece de resis
tance. He was sure that she would
open her eyes to him. But the mirror's
novelty soon note off. She east it from
her and scampered once more to the
limb of the dead tree and began busy
ing herself xvith a series of knick
knacks she had collected.
Beppo worried about her for a while,
but, failing to get Iter attention, he
departed in sorrow. There xx as no more
Joy in Zooland for Beppo. For this
reason he caught readily at the rope
which was flung into the cage.
Choosing a time when no one was
looking, he flung the rope over a high
beam and tied it. There was already a
noose In the end. and this he slipped
over his head. After mounting to the
beam, he uttered one farewell screech
and made the leap. But the rope did
not hold.
The occupants of Beppo's cage have
taken good cate to see that no xveap
ons of destruction are left near him
Meanwhile a committee will wait upon
the girl chimpanzee from Africa and
beseech her to have a little pity.

OUTSIDER WINS
ENGLISH DERBY
EPSOM. ENGLAND. June 5. —Taga-
lie, a British horse, owned by Waiter
Raphael, a millionaire English stock
broker, won the classic English derby
at Epsom Downs today, in the presence
of King George, Queen Mary and many
other notables.
All calculations on form were smash
ed, as Sxveeper 11. an American horse,
which had showed up in the betting as
a strong favorite, was unplaced. Jae
ger was second and Tracery third.
Txventy horses ran
Though the Americans lost 1300.000
with which they had backed Sweeper
11. owned by H. B. Duryea and ridden
by Danny Maher, an American Jockey,
they gained some consolation from the
fact that ,t was another American jock
ey. Johnny Reiff, who piloted Tagalie
to victory. Reiff In 1907 rode Richard
Croker’s Orby when that speedy horse
captured the great turf classic.
Bookies Made Record Clean-up.
The morning belting on Tagalie was
100 to 2. It is estimated that more than
a half million persons saw the race.
Bookmakers made the biggest clean-up
they ever had made on the derby, every
one of the favorites falling by the way
side.
The distance of the race was*l mile.
4 furlongs and 29 yards.
The defeat of Sweeper 11, which had
won the 2,000 guinea stake, was attrib
uted to the extra half mile xvhieh he
had to travel In the derby today.
The Englishmen xvere jubilant over
the victory of a British entry, although
this rejoicing was tempered by the fact
that King Georges horse, Pintadeau,
failed to get In the money. The king
took his loss good-naturedly, and joined
in the applause for the winner.
Mr. Duryea had as his guests .1. P
Morgan and H. K. Knapp. This was
Mr. Morgan's first derby, and Mr. Dur
yea said that the financier .backed
Sweeper II to win.
"Big Tim” Sullivan, of New York,
who came over from Paris with $75.-
t)Oh t<> he placed on Sxveeper 11. was an
early arrival with a party of American
and English spot ting men. He had a I
