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.

WEDSESDA Y, JI N E 5. IMlz. 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.
