DEATH STEALS GRANDPA AFTER REPAIRING TOY Aged Man Succumbs as Nephews Played With •Fixed’ Wagon. Three little boys are playing with a wagon today that "Grandpa" Peter Mohr fixed for them. But "Grandpa” Mohr lies quietly, apparently sleeping. Death came to the 74-year-old man In the back yard of his home. 450 South Gale street, shortly after he had finished repairing the toy wagon. The little boys are Walter, Wilbur and Larry Edwards, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Edwards, who are tenants at the Gale street address. Late Monday afternoon, they came to their mother with the news that their favorite toy. the wagon, was broken. They were told that their father would fix it for them. Puts Bolts in Place This morning. "Grandpa” Mohr took the wagon to his tool chest in the backvard. and put the missing bolt in place. A few minutes later he was discovered by his wife. Mrs. Mary Mohr, dying of a heart attack in the ytrd. The tool chest still was open; the hammer lay on the ground beside the wagon. But the wagon was repaired. Mr. Mohr had suffered from heart attacks for some time. He was born in Vernon, Ind., and came to Indianapolis twenty years ago. Works in Garden In addition to his widow* he is survived by a son, Fred Mohr of Terre Haute, two daughters, Mrs. Stella Parker of Terre Haute, and Mrs. Carrie Culver of Washington, D. C.; a stepson. Irvin Haag of Indianapolis, and ten grandchildren. None of the grandchildren live in Indianapolis, and the three Edvards children have filled the longing in the old mans heart for them, ; according to their mother. "He always was doing things for ; them,” she said. "He repaired their toys, painted sighs for them, and talked to them while he was at work in his little garden.” WITHHOLD -JUDGMENT IN RELIGIOUS JOB CASE Man Who Refused Work Because of Belief Given Freedom.

Geckler also withheld judgment Monday after telling Ashley that the legal Sabbath—Sunday—took precedence over the Sabbath of religious sects, and Ashley must support his children, even if to do so forces him to work cn Saturday, the Sabbath designated by his church.

The Elephants and Many Clowns on the Way Here BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE elephants are coming to town in the largest number that they ever have visited the city. And the clowns are coming to town in the greatest mirth program they have ever given the city. Believe it or not but that is the bold, flat statement of Will L. Wilken. Who is Wilken? You probably have guessed it because he is the advance press agent for Ringkng Brothers. Barnum and Bailey circus, which has been booked for two showings in Indianapolis on Tuesday. Aug. 15. I really like to see Wilken and the others of this Ringling show

come to town, such as Dexter W. Fellows, Roland Butler. Frank W. Braden and Ora O Parks. Can t say that I am so enthusiastic over some of the other press agents for some other circuses that have visited Indianapolis. But this Ringling outfit of press men tell the truth and stand back of their word. And one thing -this Ringling show every - time I have seen it. and I never miss an opportunity, has given box office value and more. That’s a record. No wonder we on this work in newspaper offices all feel that way. Well, I will let Wilken tell you the story in his own saw-dust sprinkled vocabulary as follows: Th No. 1 advertizing car ts the bis show anrved todav and ’hirty billnos'ar*. benr.errr.en and lithographer* ..re heralding the event throughout this territory. Outstanding among the almost countless new features of the Golden Jubilee gala performance* U the most magnificent opening spectacle ever produced by this colossus among amusement enterprises It is an au'henttc and dazzling reproduction of The Durbar, the world famous coronation ceremonial at Delhi. India. The Ringling Brothers and Batnum A Bailey pageantrv. opulent and staggering in its immenstlv. employs over 2 000 people and animals, including fifty tlephan’f in gem-studded coronation robes and lasish headdresses. East Indian Marimto and British Imperial foot guard bands, scores of festival tongas, bearing rajahs and ranees, will be in the van of the pageant. A golden temple, designed bv Gandt Moodi of Delhi, ornate ceremonial cars and gorgeous royal howdahs add immeasurably to the splendor of The Durbar. Vying with the resplendent impressiveness of ’’’he Durbar is the most unusual and wel.d importation that even The Greatest 3how on Earth ever brought out of the Orient—the Roval Padaung Gualienee k women from Burma. These strange Oriental women, with their ir.-rediblv long necks encircled with brass and copper rings, ca-rvlng stxtv pounds of copper ornaments on their arms and legs, are unbelievably aloof Ircm all mankind. They are like no other ram! group In all the teeming East The rints. soldered upon their necks, are constantly superimposed from infancy until maturity, until these sloe-eyed Oriental beauties resemble nothing so much as the gtrßfle Never was so sensational a feature exhibited In the main performance of the Ringling Brother* and Barnum A Bailey Combined Circus The Golden Jubilee five-ring, four-stage program feature displays in units of fiftv. with the stars of all lands competing in the atr. rings and hippodrome track sr.d on the stages.
