EX-SALOON MAN FIGHTS PRISON Only Clemency of President Can Avert Sentence. Special to The Times. HAMMOND, Ind.. Aug. 3.—Edward A. Gross, a former justice of the peace and at one time constable at Indiana Harbor, who was arrested two years ago on a charge of violating the Eeed amendment, is still at liberty and is fighting with every means possible to escape going to Jail. Although ordered imprisoned by Judge A. B. Anderson of the United States district court last week, Gross once more warded off the decree of federal court by obtaining a ten-day stay of sentence from President Wilson wnue a plea for presidential clemency is being considered. The ten-day stay penoa expires Aug. 3. Gross, who has amassed considerable wealth through his work as justice of the peace and from the proceeds of a saloon, which he openly conducted in Gary after prohibition became effective in Indiana, was arrested July 30, 1918, charged with transporting liquor into dry territory in violation of the Reed amendment. He was tried by Judge Anderson, found guilty, sentenced to six months in Jail and fined S3OO and costs. Gross then took an appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals and the higher court recently affirmed the decision of Judge Anderson. There was left only one loophole by which he could escape the Jail sentence, and that was through the intervention of President Wilson, and Washington attorneys are now working to this end. It Is said that the fear of going to jail is ruining the health of the Gary* man.

BEST IN SAWDUST WORLD WITH SHOW One Act Has Quarter Million Pounds of Elephants. Not since the beginning of tented amusements has there been any event so important to the drens patron as the announcement that the Rlngling Brothers’ and Barnnm & Bailey circuses have been combined into one mammoth show. For years the acknowledged giants of the sawdust world, these two Institutions now comprise tlie biggest traveling organization that has yet toured America. For more than two decades the shows, a separate concerns, presented the world’s foremost acrobatic artists, the two greatest menageries in existence and all else that comprised the cream of the circus world. Now the famous showmen have selected the very best of both shows and centralized It in a great, new circus known as the BlngUug Brother* anu Barnnm A Bailey shows combined. This circus opened its season at the Madison Square garden in New York City. It played there for many weeks. A million persons saw its many wonders. There, as elsewhere, It has bevn proclaimed the most gigantic undertaking in the history of amusements. When the aggregation exhibits here those who visit it will see oven more than New York’s million* saw. For, large as is Madison Square garden, it could not accommodate all the circus. It resqtiires the specially constructed tents used on tour to do that. Some idea of the immensity of the Itingling Brother* and Barnnm A Bailey shows combined may be had when it W stated that there is one trained elephant l et that comprises a "quarter of a million pounds of elephants.” The giant thespians finish their number In ensemble with a line of ponderous form* that extends along the length of one entire side of the hippodrome track. That suggests the bigness of the main tent program. A* for the menagerie it is filled with marvels. In place of two or three giraffe* such as heretofore been offered, the visitor will find eight of these elongated rarities. ranging from “youngsters” to giraffe* measuring more than twenty feet in height. The circus horses—outnumbering sll previous records as to totals—hsve been selected with the greatest care. The street parade U the best and longest ever presented. The men and women stars are the foremost In daring. There are scores of dumb actor*. No such number of clowns were ever lieforp carried by any circus. For those who love the pomp nn.l grandeur of pageantry there will be the great Introductory display. This gorgeous review opens the main tent program at all performa'hce*. It i* presented with a bigness and wealth of display In keeping with the rest of this—“the most colossal circus ever organized.” Rlngling Brothera and Barnum & Bailey combined will exhibit Lere Monday, Aug. 0.

still In Europe, heard of tha collector's suicide. He then loaned the instrument to a young woman who had been his pupil and who was then a concert violinist and she used it in tours of the United States and Europe. After using the instrument for eight years the young lady died suddenly and Prof. Merrill wrote to her brother to get the violin, but never heard from him, as he com'mitted suicide. For the next nine years he carried on a search for the missing violin, by searching collection cases and auction catalogs, but to no avail. One year ago St. Valentine’s day the professor received a letter from the mother of the violinist, In which she stated that among her son’s papers she had found the letter inquiring about the violin and pinned to tho letter she found a certificate of deposit on a southern bank. When this certificate was presented nt the bank the mother received the long-lost Panorma. Since It was the Instrument with which her daughter had won fame, the elderly lady was loath to part with It, however ah© finally sent It to a packer to be gotten ready to send to Prof. Merrill. Te packer died before he had finished his task, bnt after some further delay, the Instrument was shipped to Bloomington and is now in possession of its owner.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1920.

BILL SATISFIES MANY VETERANS General Feeling Is Assembly Might Have Done Worse. With the special session of the legislature three days In the past, members of the American legion had sufficiently regained their sense of perspective today to formulate and express opinions on the action cf the assembly on the state war memorial project. In general they were not displeased with the 52.000,000 appropriation, but In madiy instances veterans were more or less disgusted because they had been forced to battle with secret forces which, while openly endorsing tho project, secretly worked against It. Specifically some Legionalres bore the feeling that they had not only failed to receive the whole-hearted support which the Goodrich administration and the Warren T. McCray forces publicly confessed, but that they had actually met with blocking tactics from these men behind the scenes. Some leaders in the movement for the war memorial recalled the fact that a legislator favorably disposed toward the memorial, when sent as a test to a Goodrich administration follower, who bad been publicly praising the movement, was secretly advlßed to vote against It. There also was much displeasure expressed over the failure of Representatives Traub and McMasters of Marion county to appear at the night session when the vete was taken to suspend the rules for the purpose of placing the Marion county and the city of Indianapolis war memorial bills on their passage. Failure of those bills to be passed will delay, but not wholly deter, the movement, legion leaders believed. It Is felt, some legion members state, that, on the whole, the $2,000,000 appropriation will be sufficient to get the memorial well under way and that before this Is exhausted a future legislature will make it possible for the city and county to do their share, if a means to this end is not discovered meanwhile. Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby will survey the Situation shortly with a view to discovering some legal way for the city and county to appropriate money to assist the state depite the failure of the legislature to specifically proride for the legality of such a move. A meeting of the state executive committee of the American legion may be called to discus the memorial situation. It is said.

GRAIN MEN WANT TO STOP CAR LOSS Suit May Be Filed Against Interstate Commission. The Interstate commerce commission may become the defendant in a suit which may be instituted by the Indiana Grain Dealers' association, to prevent the loss of sixty cars per day from transportation of Indiana grain This Is indicated by a statement given members of the public service commission yesterday by officials of the grain dealers' organization. The grain dealer* appealed to the service commission to fake rteps to prevent the loss of these cars, which Is made possible by the order of the Interstate commerce commission by which grain shipped from Indiana to the seaboard is sent through Indiana after being unloaded to western states. Acting on the appeal, John W. McCardle, vice chairman of the commission, has sent the Interstate commerce commission the following telegram. “The Indiana market is forwarding on an average sixty cars of wheat a day to the seaboard. “Tour order furnishing equipment for the went to load grain would take these cars, after being unloaded, and transport them through our state w#t. "Our commission feels that the movement of grain in this stato is s important as any other state. "Shippers are demanding that a part of the cars in Indiana be returned for this movement. “Please give us relief In some war, “Shipper* contemplate radical action which this commission does not look on with favor.” REPORT SOON ON AUDIT FINDINGS Board of Accounts Almost Through County Books Probe. Findings of the field examiners of the state board of accounts, who, for the last three or four months have conducted an examination of the books of County Auditor Leo K. Foster and County Treasurer Halph Lcmcke, will be made public some time during the present week, according to board members. According to them, the report was filed with the board the latter part of last week. A* boon as the chief examiner goes over the report. It will be made public, they say. The extra work entailed upon tho board by the special session of the legislature has made necessary a delay In the study of the reports, members of the bbnrd assert. No further delay in making public the examiner's finding will bo made, other than the checking over of the reports, members of the board declare.
