tonish the spectators very much. Four
lions In one act will occupy the stage
and tinder the- superrlsion of a well
known trainer these "kings of the ani-
mals" will do some stunts.
The animal easiest to be trained la no
doubt the elephant as these beasts are
known to possess a considerable intelli-
gence and can be tamed-and trained to
a great extent especially- whet) caught"

FINAL DEdtEE IN CAETEE CASE
Army Officer QetT4500O Held to
Be "Without Taint."
(AueeiaUi Prtti Rttert.)
CHICAGO. March a.-Tha final decree
In the caae of Oberlln M. Carter waa en-
tered today by .Judge Kohlsaat In tha
United 8tatea circuit oourt. Practically
all the findings are In favor of tha army
officers.
While Carter does not get a large share
of the funds which have been the aub-
Ject of litigation between him and the
government the costs of this and all
other aulta agalnat him are taxed agalnat
the government. By the decree Carter la
.warded $45000 which waa held by tha
court to be "without taint."
The total amount attached by the Fed-
eral authorltiea some years ago waa
about MOO.OOO. The greater part of thle
Carter claimed to have received from hie
father-in-law. the late Robert F. Weet-
cott of New York.
In an opinion announced by Judge
Kohlsaat some weeks ago It was held
that a large part of the funds received by
Carter from Weatcott were "tainted '
and while Carter may not have known
of the secret partnership between Weat-
cott and Greene and Qaynor yetv to the
eyea of the law he waa supposed to have
knowledge that Greene and Qaynor the
contractors were reaping enormous
profits from their work.
mi hi final decree fudge Kohlsaat re-
fuaed to charge Carter with the money
spent in defending himself before the
army court martial and In other tri-
bunals. AU the expenditure of suit
against Carter in Chicago New York.
Savannah and other places to be deter-
mined later are to be paid by the gov-
ernment. Thle amount la eatlmated to
be about tlRO.000. The court holda further
that the money whloh la claimed that
Carter received from Greene and Qaynor
more than 2S6000 came from Weatcott.
Inasmuch aa the court declares these
latter funds to be "tainted" they are to
be retained by the government and the
court costs and attorneys' fee are to ba
paid from them.
Tin court also held that I. Stanton.
Carter a brother of the defendant la In-
debted to the government to the extent
of 111464 a part of the funds (or the re-
covery of which the suit waa atarted.
