PHIFIFIT AND PHUMF.
Two Rare Specimens of Animals i
Sought at the Zoo.
If you happened to be out at the
New York zoological park yesterday, .
maybe you noticed a little chap with i
thick eye glasses and a look of de- 1
spair on his countenance peering at :
the labels on the cages. <
He was Police Lieut. Joseph Con- i
ners oHhe west One Hundred and
Fifty-second street station, and he >
was looking for the Australian phififit <

and phumfs?" and the lieutenant,,
with an angry gesture, went into the
reserves' room and played checkers
with himself. 1
Yesterday being his off day, he ]
went out to seek the phumf and the t
phi^fifit. He has not returned with ]
his'report.?New York Herald. j

nouncement.
_________ C
Washington, July 23.?Opening of i
the Panama canal to the world's com- i
merce on August 15 next was an- ,

ing event, all ceremonies being left ^
for the official opening, when the in- j
ternational fleet passes' through the r

Mr. Garrison's announcement follows
:
"The Panama canal will be open j
for commerce to vessels not needing f
more than thirty feet ef water on and
after August 15, 1914.
"The official opening of the canal,
as heretofore announced, will be in
the month of March, 1915. An appro- '
priate announcement will be made ]
when a greater depth of water than )
thirty feet has been secured.
"On the 15th of August Col. Goe- '
thals will inaugurate the commercial '
service by sending a government boat 5
through the canal. There will be no 1
ceremonies incident to the occasion, 1
but American newspapers who may 1
desire to have representatives pres- (
ent may do so. The others who will 1
be present on the boat will be deter- 1
mined between now and the time 1
mentioned."

Lieut. Conners was for several
years attached to the Bronx park station,
and during that period his great- i
est recreation was wandering about
getting acquainted with the animals.
Recently he was transferred to the
west One Hundred Fifty-second street ;
station, and during the long nights it
has been his custom to tell delightful
yarns abo^t the habits of the animals .
in the zoological park.
A week ago Lieut. Conners was interrupted
in a hair raising recital by
Detective '"Eddie" Galvin, one of the
best humorists on the force,
t "Lieutenant," said "Eddie" Galvin, ;
"tell me, have you ever seen any of
those interesting little creatures, the
Australian phififits up at the Bronx 1
park?" 1
^ "Phifv?what's that?" asked the
puzzled police authority. !
''Phififits?phififits," said "Eddie."
impatiently." "You must have seen (
* them. They are a cross between a
white mouse and a kangaroo, and are
very, very rare."
"Fiddlesticks and nonsense," the
lieutenant jeered. "You talk like that ;
fellow who draws funny pictures for '
the Sunday Herald. Those things
you're talking about are seen by the 1
drinkers. Cut it out, 'Eddie,' you're '
a young man and have a bright future
before you."
"Eddie" lighted a stogie and stalked
to the station house door. 1
"Lieutenant," he said, "I see that 1
your vaunted knowledge is bunk. I (
know the phumf, too, a cunning lit- 1
tie creature with a leathered body,
flat feet like a monkey, and the head 1
of a chipmunk. It's up in the anthro- 1
poid house, and anybody who's been 1
there has seen it."
Lieut. Conners went to work on :
the "blotter" with a pained expression.
Later in the night he began
another yarn about animals, but some
one asked:

ROOSEVELT IN* LIBEL SUIT.
Colonel Called Upon to Defend Himself
in Court.
Oyster Bay, X. Y., July 23.?The
obligation to appear in court and defend
himself against a $50,000 libel
suit begun by William Barnes, Jr..
hairman of the republican State committee,
was imposed on Ex-President
Roosevelt tonight with the serving
of the papers in the case. A copy
of the complaint was handed to him
L?v Jas. S. Ivins. of the law firm which
is acting for Mr. Barnes. According
to Mr. Ivins it rests with Col. Roosecelt
whether the suit shall be tried
before election, or delayed, perhaps,
two years. Col. Roosevelt had learned
that the lawyer was on his way.
Without awaiting Mr. Ivins' explanation
he held out his hand and
greeted him cordially.
"I'm very sorry." Mr. Ivins began,
"to disturb you in a matter of this 1
kind." But Col. Roosevelt would
listen to no explanation of regret.
Col. Roosevelt declined to say what
:ourse he would pursue i nthe case,
preserving silence until he had consulted
his lawyer.
Earlier tonight he indicated that he
was ready to meet the issue and was
confident of proving in court his
statements concerning Mr. Barnes.
vvnen ine prupuseu suit was mention
at that time the Colonel's face
grew stern for an instant. Then he
laughed.
"Let Mr. Barnes go on," he said
slowly, choosing his words with care.
"I have never said anything that I f
could not prove."
Allegation of Complaint.
New York, July 23.?The complaint,
which-was served upon Col.
Roosevelt tonight asks damages of
$">0,000 on the ground that the statement
issued by the former president
last night contained references to Mr.
Barnes that were "libelous, false and
untrue."
No specific statements of th"e Colonel
are instanced in the complaint,
the entire statement being reproduced
with the allegation that the defendant
published it "maliciously and
with intent thereby to injure the
plaintiff, and without cause and for
the purpose of defaming and injuring
the legitimate political influence and
activity of the plaintiff in the performance
of his duty of citizenship."

FAMOUS SHARK KILLED.
[>1(1 Tom was Well Known Around
Port Royal, Jamaica.
Old Tom, a shark that has lived in
:he waters of Port Royal harbor, Jamaica,
for 20 years and is known to
:housands of travelers and seagoing
men. was put to death by the island
authorities several weeks ago, according
to officers of the schooner.
Martin, arrived here yesterday, with
cocoanuts from Kingston.
The famous fish was one of the
sights of the West Indies. He was
IHstrusted at Home. 11
Mr. John A. Hennessy, who has had J
some experience in looking into offi-i
cial corruption in New York, tells
the Washington Star this story of a
certain politician whose reputation
was no better than his deserts:
"He used to farm, you know. Well.
I met an old farmer neighbor of his
last month.
" 'Si.' I said, "would you call him
an honest man?'
"Si scratched his whiskers, and
smiled, but he made no answer.
" 'Well, Si,' I went on 'Would you
call him a liar then?'
"'Si scratched his whiskers again,
and then he said: B
" Now. Mr. Hennessy, I dunno's ti
I'd go so far as to call him a liar. ?
but them as knew him hereabouts ^
do say that when he wanted his pigs
to come to their feed, he had to git s;
somebody else to call 'em." ' I g
