meeting at Wade Park, which was ad
dressed this afternoon by Samul Oom
pers, president of tho American Federation
of Labor, grew a movement which Is ex
pected to crystallize Into a union of all
public school teachers In Ohio.
T) e work oi forming a Stato union
will start to-day. Its purpose Is to sup
port the grade school teachers of Cleve
land In their light against the board of
education.
After Gompors and other labor leaders
hud arraigned tho board of education
for ltn action In threatening with dis
missal any teacher who Joins a union, tho
G.000 persons nt tho meeting adopted
unanimously a resolution denouncing tho
board and pledging aid to tho teachers.
Qompers likened the situation of tho
grade school teachers to that of the early
colonists Just before tho ltcvolutlonary
War. Ho declared that tho board of edu
cation 1ms not learned tho lessons of his
tory, and said that any attempt of n con
stitutional body toward recession must
end In protest.
'I hope tho teachers will bo awe to es
tablish their right to an organization,
said Gompors, "and to exercise their con
stitutional, legal and moral rights. But
whether they succeed or fall In tho courts,
there Is a higher tribunal In the cltlsen-
shlp of tho city of Cleveland.
"I wonder, by the way, If tno ooaru oi
education would have aeniea me rigm
of these to organlzo If we had woman
suffrage."
(Jompers referred to the members or
the board as "Imperial magnates" as
"CsFsars" and "those new Imperators." At
every such reference there wns wild applause.

Persons who stoppod In front of tho

Sultan. He would walk a few feot from
his mate, turn nervously nnd go padding
back. A big soft paw reached tendorly

was as softly withdrawn. His head
twitched restlessly and tho eyes would
move from side to side nnd then turn and
gaze off Into the woods.
It was nearly dusk when the keepers
learned that Sultnnn was dead. Then they
tried to coax Sultan away. Ho would
not pay any attention to food, and when

cage and reach tho body Sultan turned
on him with a snarl and drove him back.
Finally Sultan lay down beside the
body, the only thing to remind him of
