CIRCUS GOMES TO TOWN AND KIDSJEJOICE John Robinson’s ‘Big Top’ Is -Raised for Two Per- > formances Here. Today is the day that the humble peanut comes into its own. Today is the day that the lowly hot dog holds high rank! Today is the day when the toy balloon market is at its zenith and Little Willie or Mary or Joe are allowed to have sticky fingers and devour numerous ice cream cones.. Because today is Circus day, and ! the "big top” as well as the many | “little tops” cover the neighborhood 1 of Sugar Grove Ave. and Eighteenth Sts. John Robinsons Circus, for many a years an Indiana institution, came to early this morning. In the vicinity'of Belmont Ave. and the Big Four tracks the wagons, cages and dens rolled from the lengthy flat cars, while the horses, elephants and camels, as well as the other hay-eating animals stepped from their side-door Pullman’s ready for the day’s festivities. Tepts Go Up Fast Four hours were required to erect the mammoth canvas city on the Sugar Grove Ave. grounds. Cookhouses, horse and dressing tents went into the air with rapidity, while after the breakfast hour the several hundred “razorbacks” struggled successfully with the task of putting up the big, show, menagerie and side show tents. **• The circus comes with many new features and an entirely different performance than when it exhibited here three years ago. Trained wild animal groups still occupy the center arena, but they have been curtailed in time, if not in thrills and sensationalism. Miss lone Carle, Theodore Schrfteder, Bert Noyes and Margaret Thompson are the principal subjugators. Long Array of Stars Featured performers include the Riding Rudynoffs of Austria and the Johnny Correna Family of American riders, the Eugene Troupe of Aerialists from Australia; the Eddy Duo, Tetu Harriman and Elizabeth Rooney, wire artistes; the Aerial Kelleys, the McKeon Family, the Lorette Girls, the Barron Sisters, the Monroe Trio, the Hassan and Mohamids. Sliyers Johnson, Joe Wilde, Percy Smith, Doc Stoddard and .George Harmon are but five of the Ifunny clowns. & Two performances are scheduled lor Indianapolis, an afternoon show Ind the night exhibition at 8 o’clock. IThe Robinson Circus brings the local rwhite top” season to an end, as nothing in the way of big shows is scheduled to exhibit here again until liext spring.

FRENCH FIGHT POTASH SUIT U. S. Seeking to Dissolve Alleged Trust. Bu Times fiver ini _ _ .... WASHINGTON, June 30.—What is regarded by government officials as one of the most important law suits ever filed will be argued in Federal Court at New York July 11 when the famous potash case comes up. The suit was brought by the government against French and German interests alleged to be violating the Sherman an-trust and Wilson tariff laws by establishing a sales agency to fix prices of this important product in the United States. Although denying the truth of the allegations, the French defendants have entered the plea that even if correct the United States has no authority, because part of the business belongs to the French government. Ambassador Claudel declares France’s interests in the business are protected by the doctrine of “sovereign immunity.” Government officials say if this contention is sustained the United States will be powerless to deal with similar conditions in the future. Upwards of one million tons of potash are imported annually and more than 90 per cent of it is mined by the French and German companies involved. A British surgeon declares that fair-haired persons are more able to ward off disease than dark-haired ones.

DRUG ANALYSIS ENTERS EFFORT TO BREAK WILL Lawyer Demands Handkerchief of Witness Be Examined. Analysis of a stained white handkerchief obtained from Charles C. Faiman, whose deposition is being taken here before Commissioner Walter N. Carpenter, may prove to be a deciding factor in the fight of Isabelle Pope and contesting heirs to break the young Chicago millionaire’s will which named William D. Shpeherd as the legatee. Throughout the hearing here, which has been in progress for several days, accusations have been made openly by Charles F. Rathburn, attorney for Shephard, that Faiman is a drug addict. Turns State Witness Faiman was co-dtfendent with Shephard for the murder of McClintock. Charges against him were not pressed when he turned state’s witness. v Faiman has denied the drug

Followirtg his denial of drug addict charges, a conference was held between attorneys for Shephard and Dr. James Whitney Hall, alienist who testified during the Loeb-Leopold trial in Chicago, and who hasj had Faiman under observation.

Upon receiving two paper cups full, Faiman sipped one and elaborately wiped his lips several times with a handkerchief. Dr. Hall hurriedly conferred with Rathburn. who had resumed questioning of Faiman. Upon resumption of questioning, Faiman reached for the second cup of water and repeated with his handkerchief. Rathburn stopped questioning and shouted: “Give me that handkerchief!” Faiman complied.

Will Make Analysis “I demand that Dr. Hall make a chemical analysis of this handkerchief, for narcotics.’’ Rathburn said. Attorney Francis X. Busch agreed providing the handkerchief be held until the Chicago court, with jurisdiction in the trial, ordered Its disposal.

HEIRS BATTLE OYER ’WIGWAM’ Croker’s Children Involved in Estate Fight. Bu Times Sperinl NEW YORK. June 30.—Litigation between the children of the late Richard Croker, for sixteen years the dictator of Tammany Hall, and their stepmother, Mrs. Beulah E. Croker, has been resumed, the legal fight over the Palm Beach estate of the Tammany chieftain being brought to New York. While the dispute has been conducted in the Federal Court in Jacksonville, Fla., value of the estate, which Includes the famous “Wigwam” erected by Croker for his retirement, has declined more than half, it developed yesterday. Estimated to be worth $100,000,000 during the boom at the beginning of the suit in January, 1925, the property was said now to have a value of $3,000,000. When Croker acquired the land between 1910 and 1917 he is supposed to have paid only SBO,OOO for it. The property is just south of Palm Beach, lying between tha ocean and Lake Worth.
