BELGIUM ORDERS RIOTS CRUSHED Socialists Causing Disturbance When They Lose Election Viewed as Plotters. BRUSSELS, June F>. 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 govern ment. 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 civic guard, the militia of the king dom. refused to take arms against the rioters, but these were few and scat tered. The situation at Venders Is the most serious in the kingdom At least Bn 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 Are department became so exhausted answering Are alarms soldiers had to be substituted. Thousands of women are up In arms In the anti-clerical 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.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5. LMlz. Beppo, the shaggy monk of the Grant park zoo. attempted suicide this morn, ing A skipping rops had been left in his cage by- a child, and with one end of ft 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 kinsmen of Beppo rushed in and about the cage with hysterical chatters. The Hon tn a distant cage roared his loudest, and the jackals whipped about In their cells, uttering strange, plaintive cries. There was one of the monkey contin gent. however, that refused to cotne 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, he hud shot a glance 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 Silence. 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 acting strangely of late, of 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. But of late it hail been differ ent When the chimpanzee was first placed in the cage 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 Africa. Even a Mirror Fails to Win Her. One day he found a mirror and gave it to her. When she caught sight ol herself she laughed, and Beppo was mightily pleased. He was sure then that the mirror was a piece de resis tance. He was sure that she would open her eyes to him. But the mirror's novelty soon wore off. She cast it from her and scampered once more to the limb of the dead tree and began busy ing herself with a series of knick knacks she had collected. Beppo worried about her for a while, but. failing to get her attention, he departed in sorrow. There was 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 care to set- that no weap 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.

June Taga lie, a British horse, owned by Walter Raphael, a millionaire English stock broker, won the classic English derby at Epsom Downs today, in the presence of King Geotge. Queen Mary and many other notables. All calculations on form were smash ed, as Sweeper 11. an American horse, which had showed up in the betting as a strong favorite, was unplaced. Jae ger was second and Tracery third. Twenty horses ran. Though the Americans lost $300,000 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 it 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 betting 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 th- race was 1 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 which he had to travel in the derby today. The Englishmen were jubilant over the victory of a British entry, although this rejoicing was tempered by the fact that King George's 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 J. 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" Sullivtin, of New York, who came over from Paris with $75.- 000 to be placed on Sweeper 11. was an early arrival with a party of American and English sporting men. He had a satisfied smile, indicating that he had placed his money to good advantage. ONE DEAD,3 WOUNDED IN LATEST OUTBREAK OF N. Y. GANG FEUDS NEW YORK.
