Millionaire Very! Preston's liberal use of his checkbook has effectually sl- lenced the authorittes of St. John's Hospital, Yonkers, and the names of hie two fatr compantons in the automo- bile accident of Saturday night are a deep mystery, No hint of thelr identit allowed to escape and tt has been In- umated to the hospital employees that any {nformation would be tantamount to a dismissal, This same alr of fdentity of the Mr. 2»; Building ments at Preston is division of t y has been tery as to the is shown at Mr. steel hoop avenue, of the poration, At his off] tion « was th desk to-morrow m The injuries whict ve Jafd Mr Premon a t we nknown women were night, The party Ansley Club, York.

When they returned Preston was con- sctous, but dazed. His frst remark to the chauffeur was: “Keep etill about this."" Then one of the women, less hurt than her compantons, called to Mr. Preston: “Don't let our names get out—we must not get Into the papers.” They were ali taken to Mr. Taylor's house, with the exception of the chauffeur, who disappeared to return early Sunday morning in another auto. He righted the wrecked machine and towed It back to New York. From Mr. Taylor's house Mr, Preston and his modest women friends, who are averse to having thelr names In print, wero taken to St. John's Riverside Hospital, ‘There they were made com- fortable and a guard established about the place to prevent police and re- porters from learning who's who, The hospital authorities say thelr reason for the withholding all infor- mation ts that the women are private Patients and have forbidden thelr names to be given out.

(Special to The Evening World.) TOSTON, Dec. 4.—There was a thrill- ing half hour yesterday at the Bostick ‘Animal Arena. Captain Bonavita took from thelr cages his twenty-seven huge’ lions for the purpose of teaching them a new feat. He had placed In the centre of the arena a large plank, supported in the centre of a pedestal about four’ fect high. He endeavored to make the huge Ions Sampson, Schley and Baltl- 2|more, see-saw on this plank, with the -four Hons grouped around ft as spectators to thelr play, The act was a new one and !t was necessary to drill and redri!l the animals. ‘At last he got the animals all on the plank together, ‘Then the see-saw mo- tion began, Capt. Bonavita was 80 pleased with the doelilty of the animals that he turned from them, and, address- ing Dana McCann, of the antmal arena, who was witnessing the rehearsal sald: other twen “That Is ea “Look out,” shouted McCann, Sampson leaped at the trainer, his} claws just grazing his cap and tearing tt from his head.

He drew his Iver and fir at the lon, but the shot flash and report had a subduing effect on the animals, who suddenly crawled away. ———=_—_ MADE LOVE TO STEAL? ‘That's What the Police Say About Frank Amen, Frank Ames, tall, well dressed and good looking, was arrested In Jersey City to-day ona charge of stealing den- Ustw’ supplies valued at $115, According to the police he got an 9p-| portunity to steal by making love to a daughter of the man with whom he noarded, It ix sald he went to Red Bank last August and ined. board t daughter of ndlord was f dentists’ jention to nd. accomp: night to the place of her employment, she hay- ing been ordered to work at night.
