The August Sale of LIFETIME FU Humboldt’s Saki Monkey, Rarest Type In World, Received Here From Amazon The rarest monkey in the world, Humboldt’s Saki monkey, has been obtained for the Washington Zoo by Dr. Willam M. Mann, superintendant. It is a small, active monkey which, inhabits the jungles at the upper reaches of the Amazon. It almost never comes near civiliza- tion, is very shy and seldom has been captured alive. Once cap- tured, it is very delicate and sel- dom lives more than a few days. Even in Prazil it cannot be kept in captivity. One was brought to Washington before, but died about 18 hours after reaching the Zoo. Dr. Mann hopes, however, that this little creature can be kept alive several vears. It appears in excellent health and is becoming accustomed to captivity. The Saki monkey is unusually intelligent, although it is not a high type of the species. It is about a foot high, has a small head with a beard which is some- what like that of other monkey: MRS. GRACIE DEFERS VISIT TO GRAND JURY Awaits Arrival of Allegedly Forged Check Before Asking Indictment of Chilean Husband. Mrs. Constance Schack Gracie of 1527 Sixteenth street northwest will tell the District grand jury next Mon- story of her marriage to Humberto Aguirre de Ur- bana from Chile, and of his recent departure from their home here and | his return to Chile, where he is said to be now under survelllance on charges of forgery of the name of his wife and larceny from her. Mrs. Gracle had expected to go be- fore the grand jury today, but be- cause a check in question is in New York, Assistant United States Attor- neys’ Rover and Collins, who heard her complaint, will defer presenting the charges to the grand jury until Monday, by which time, it is expected, the check will reach here. A witness from New York 1s also expected. According to the story told by Mrs. Gracie, it is understood that the young Chilean won her consent to the marriage after a whirlwind courtship, and came here to reside at her Six teenth street home. June 3, last, the wife complains, her husband signed her name to a check for $2,000 and took with him certain diamond jew- elry belonging to the wife, as well as a valuable embroidered Japanese coat. Should the grand jury indict the husband extradition papers would be sought for his return from Chile. 450-Gallon Shortcake. Prisoners at the Federal prison in Leavenworth, Kans., were recently served with a_shortcake that con- tained 450 gallons of strawberries. The berries were grown on the prison farm, and it took a squad of prisoners three days to pick them. Of every thousand marriages cele- brated in London fifteen are between cousins. and has hair like a sloth. It is known in Brazil as the sloth monkey. The new arrival, Dr. Mann says, Is much more valuable as a sclentific object than for pop- ular interest and he expects that many monkey specialists will visit the cage. Another new arrival is the woolly monkey, also from the upper Amazon regions. This creature also is delicate, but can be kept alive well in captivity if given suf- ficient care. It is fond of human society, never becomes viclous and is considered the best of all the monkey family as a pet. It is in- telligent and can learn to do almost human tricks. These two monkeys have been placed in the same cage with the saered Hindoo monkey, which ar- rived early last week, and the three seem to be getting along well together, There have been no fights in the cage, but the three are teaching each other the differ- ent ways of monkey pla VETERANS TO UNITE TO GET PREFERENCE Plan Militant Fight for Ex-Serv- ive Men Threatened With Loss of Federal Jobs.
