CHASE MONKEY
IN BUILDING
i
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. 28.—
Emmeline, a monkey, upset the work -
ings of one of the big express offices
here yesterday by refusing to be
captured. At night as employes left !
the office the animal was seen blink- j
Ing “going down” from the elevator |
shaft on the third floor and descend- j
ing rapidly hand over hand on he |
elevator cable.
EmmeTne entered the office ! .si ,
Saturday in a crate with a sister and |
a broth'*!'. The monkeys were con j
signed to the city park zoo. A- it j
was too late for delivery they we’v i
left cooped up at ’he office.
Tho monkeys escaped Saturday !
night and found themselves in it
four-story building. There they found
chandeliers to swing from, and desks
covered with paper that made tine
sport, to tear up and scatter. When
they found the elevator shaft and
long, dangling cables, their fun was ;
complete.
The office force captured two of
the monkeys, but Emmeline could not :
be induced to enter the large box !
containing food, to which the other '•
monkeys were lured.
Dance 4,300 Years Old.
PARIS.—A real successor to the |
tango has at last been found and of j
ficially approved. It hails from a |
most unexpected quarter. The Paris j
Academy of Dancing Masters announ |
ces that the new dance is already j
being taught and prophesies for it a
great success. The new dance is the j
"tatao,” which has been popular in ,
China since the year 2450 B. C.
“Tatao” is a Chinese word which j
means' “sweetness” and “harmony." '
The dance is a slow, graceful meas-;
ure, full of quaint steps and lan
guorous, dipping movements. M. Le- 1
fort, of the Paris Academy of Dane- j
ing Masters, who is introducing it.
says:
“It is quite easy to dance and to
learn. It is an essentially harmon
ious and dignlfie dmeasure. The feet
move in one and two measure, and
many of the ^graceful steps are seen
in the tango. Balancing on the foot,
the slide, and the dip, with one knee
almost touching the ground, are in
cluded in this old Chinese measure.”
Wednesday Dance.
The second dance of the Wednes
day Night Club will take place this
evening at Eagle hall. The last dance
was such p success that a big crowd
is expected to be on hand. Modern
dances of modern - times allowed.
Four-piece orchestra will furnish the
music. Good time assured all. Tick

EX-BANDIT SEEKS
TO BE GOVERNOR
JU Jennings Tells Why He
Wants to Rule Oklahoma.
WOULD REFORM PRISOHS.
Man Who Was a Train Robber Sym
pathizes With First Offenders—Ex
plains Why He Quit Life of Crime
and Scores Respected Rogues Less
Crude Than He Was.
Al J. Jennings, ex-train robber aud
federal prisoner, who won the Demo
cratic nomination for county attorney
of Oklahoma county, Okla., in 1912, is
about to announce his candidacy for
I the governorship of the state of Okla
homa.
"1 am entering the ruce.” said Mr.
Jeuniugs in New York recently, "as a
Democrat. Many of my friends,have
urged me to seek an independent nom
ination, but 1 have always been a
Democrat. M,v object is to clean up
the party In Oklahoma. I intend to
fight double dealing, political thieves,
with whom no self respecting outlaw
of former years can associate.
"All I want Is to see absolutely hon
est men at the head of the government,
and after I have announced my eandi
dat'y if some man whose integrity and
uprightness are unquestioned becomes
a candidate I shall withdraw and sup
port him with all of my ability
Why Jennings Reformed.
"Some people do not seem to be able
to understand how an outlaw, an ex
train robber and federal prisoner can
become sincerely law abiding and a re
former in politics, but the explanation
is simple. 1 made a mistake and de
fied the law. I was caught and pun
ished—kept five years in prison—and
then saw how 1 had been wrong to be
come an enemy of society. I decided
to reclaim my place in society and set
about doing it. As soon as J became a
free man. living in a free community.
I began to appreciate flic differences
in lawbreaking and the consequences
thereof, ami that made me a political
reformer
"I had been a train robber, a crude,
open defier of society, and I had been
caught and punished. I saw all about
me men who wore Ihe best clothes and
stood high in society robbing the peo
pie right and left and not getting
caught or being punished. They were
not as primitive as 1 had been in the
method they chose. They did tilings
in tlie dark and only appeared in the
open when they had on their Sunday
clothes, so to speak.”
Mr. Jennings says be will carry on
the same kind of aggressive, personal
campaign for the gubernatorial nom
ination as lie carried on for the conn
tv attorneyship lie claims lie has
no money behind him and will not lie
al ii- to establish headquarters
"I will slump the state.' lie said,
"and speak from the street corners
and ■ in I Is wherever I can."
Mr. Jennings said that if he is elect
ed governor he will make it his chief
object to enforce the law without re
st'd t to persons, lint that from lessons
derived during his own prison experi
ence lie will also apply himself to pris
on reform In Oklahoma
Pledges Aid to First Offenders.
"I favor the adoption of a reforma
tory parole system." lie said, “by tvlitch
first offenders ean be given a chance
to redeem themselves. I think that a
.voting man who is convicted for the
first time should he allowed to stay
at home and work under the watchful
eye of the state instead of being locked
up In a prison where. In all probability,
lie will lie made a confirmed criminal
There will he no wholesale release of
prisoners If 1 become governor, lint 1
will exercise the power of pardon and
parole with the view of reclaiming for
society every man I can As long ns
Uteri* is a chance of making a good
citizen of a man we should try to do
so "
Jennings was a train I'oPbci in Oh
Inhouia and the southwest for several
years before his final capture in ISiVi
and subsequent conviction in a federal
court lie served, a few years in the
prison at Columbus. O.. before being
pardoned by President McKinley. His
citizenship was later restored by Pres
ident Roosevelt, and be began the prac
lice of law in Oklahoma City In 1!H
he ran for the Democratic nomination
as county attorney of Oklahoma conn
ty against six other candidates Be
fore the primaries five of the eandi
dates withdrew to concentrate the vote
against him, but In spite of tills he ob
tained the nomination. At the general
election lie was defeated by a narrow
margin by a Republican who was sup
ported by both the Republican and
Democratic organizations
