KNIGHTS E. ROOT
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Charles E.
Hughes last night elevated Elihu Root
to the “nobility,” placing him “in our
hall of illustrious men who hold the
only patent of true nobility in this
republic, that of worth, character, dis
tinction and preeminent in service to
his country.
“This,” said Mr. Hughes, “is the
nearest approach we can make in this
country to the gift of an earldom.” The
occasion of the eulogy was the eigh
tieth birthday of Justice Root, which
falls on Sunday. The Post in refer
ence to Root’s services in New York,
said: “You will find in his reports
the application of principles he appli
ed to Porto Rico, the Philippines, and
the foundation for whatever success
ful administraiton exists in those isl
ands.”
Mr. Root has the dynamic personal
ity of Roosevelt, and Roosevelt need
ed Root, whom he admired and trust
ed.
The speaker told of Mr. Root’s serv
ices in connection with the negotia
tions with Japan, and considered his
crowning achievement “his skill in
cutting the entanglements which stood
in the way of an establishment of a
court of justice.
South American Ant-Bear
Crushes Hunter to Death
BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 14— How a
hunter fought a fierce body-to-body
battle with a South American ant
bear, reputed to be an innofensive
animal, and was fatally injured, is
told in a report from the village of
Avia Teria, in the Argentine Chaco.
The tragedy took place in a dense
' forest surrounding the village, the
victim, Candido Martinez, 50 years
old, having encountered the bear as
he was hunting and separated from
his companions. The latter he&rd
his cries for help, the barking of his
dogs and several shots, and making
their way through the forest as fast
as they could, found Martinez on the
ground, his flesh terribly torn in sev
eral places and his ribs crushed. He
had only time to tell that he had been
attacked by an ant-bear before he
(lied.
Instances of an ant-bear attacking
a man are very rare. Ant-bears are
known to kill the jaguar when attack
ed by it, by crushing it between its
powerful forelegs and chest, but its
main interest in life is eating ants, de
stroying their hills with its long fox
like snout. For this reason it is re
garded by settlers as a useful ani
mal. It is thought that in this in
stance the bear was attacked by the
dogs and turned at bay, attacking the
man when he tried to save the dogs.
