SEASON'S FIRST CIRCUS ARRIVES IN INDIANAPOLIS Youngsters Crowd Old Ball Park to Watch Show Pitch Tents. (Continued From Page One) the show, with its three long red and silver coated trains, arrived | here from Muncie on the Big Four Railroad, the elephants were the first animals rousted out. Tug Heavy Wagons For three hours they tugged heavy wagons over the old W. Washington-st ball diamond. Then hooked together trunk to tail, they led a parade through downtown streets. At 2 this afternoon and 8 to-; night and the same show tomor- | row afternoon and night, they will ! take part in the "big show.” When 1 the circus pulls stakes, the elephants will be the last animals to get on the trains. They will have to grunt and push until all the wagons are aboard. They do this Just for a couple of balefc of hay a day. Jumbo the Second, an African plephant, is the aristocrat of the five "bull” herds. He doesn’t have a high forehead or the intelligence of his Indian cousins, but he does have tusks with gilded tips. They’re All Showmen Circus people know how to play on people s imaginations. Even the canvassmen and laborers are showmen. Six Negro stake drivers, working together as a team, circled the stakes and drove them in with rhythm. Each man got his sledge hammer out of the way before the man to his right hit his lick. When they had an audience, the rhythm sounded like a burst of machine gun fire. The big bosses rode horses. Their assistants, who talked and acted like second mates on windjammers, were on foot. As soon as the train stopped, they began rounding up dirty-faced, bright-eyed little boys to help. These lads toted stakes longer than themselves to get passes to the show. Old Circus Phrase As the boys began to spread the canvas on the ground, the old circus cry, "Shake it, boy, shake it,” was heard. Soon everyone picked it up and began to chant the phrase. When it was spread out. and up, the loud-mouthed boss bellowed, "Tie ’er on. bullies, tie 'er on.” As they “tied ’er on” the Negroes hummed a strange melody. The unloading was over then, and the parade was formed. Clyde Beatty Is Star Clyde Beatty, who can make restless lions say something that doesn’t sound like "uncle,” is the star of the show. His wife, Mrs. Harrison Beatty, who is making her first appearance in the steel ring this year, presents a display in which an elephant, tiger and lion are featured. Then there is the Zoeppe family of equilibrists from Spain, the Gretona troupe of highwire stars, Harold Barnes, juvenile tightwire performer; Mile. Cyse Odell, aerial gymnast, and Esma Wilson, "pinwheel” girl. From the flying trapezes the Flying Harolds and the Peerless 11lingtons perform. A1 Powell, the "human comet,” and the Ernestos and Clarkonians, bare back riding stars, are in the show. But the little boys go to see the elephants.

An underground cable replaces the wires which formerly were strung on the old traffic bridge, now replaced by a tunnel, on the north turn. A pole line carrying open wires 1 in front of Grandstands C, G and F has been replaced by a cable ! which runs beneath the stands.

NAMING TRAMMEL SUCCESSOR DELAYED Florida Governor to Wait Until After Funeral. By United Press WASHINGTON. May 9.—Gov. Dave Sholtz of Florida today delayed consideration of a successor of Senator Park Trammell (D„ Fla.), who died last night, until after the funeral early next week. Trammell was serving his fourth term in the Senate when he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at his home. He had been absent from the Senate for six weeks, but had been seriously ill for only two weeks. His term would have expired in 1941. Funeral arrangements have not been made, but Gov. Sholtz said he believed Trammell’s body would be taken to his Lakeland, Fla., home for burial. He expects to accompany the body to Florida. Trammell, who was 60, was known best in Congress as an advocate of American preparedness. He was chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee and co-author of the Vinson-Trammell “Big Navy” bill enacted last session. He died a few hours after the Senate passed the record peacetime $529,000,000 navy bill. PARLEY BEGUN BY SCHOOLMEN'S CLUB Prof. Bartlett of De Pauw Addresses Group.

POLL RETURNS PLEASEM'NUTT Democratic Triumph in Fall Indicated, Belief of Governor. Jubilant over returns from the congressional races in Tuesday's primary, Gov. McNutt today said he is confident that Indiana will be in the Democratic column this fall. Comparing the congressional vote in the seven districts where there wei-e contests in both parties with the primary vote in the same districts in 1934, the Governor pointed out that the Democratic majority was approximately 10,000 more than it was two years ago. "The result of the primary vote Tuesday indicates definitely that Indiana will be safely in the Democratic column in the fall election,” the Governor said. "Despite the fact that the primary vote was lighter in comparison to the 1934 primary, it is gratifying to note that the Democratic majority over the Republican vote showed a considerable increase. “In the seven districts where there were contests in both parties for Congress, a comparison of the vote with that of the 1934 primary shows an approximate loss in the Republican vote of 22 per cent. “In these districts —the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth—the Democratic majority showed an increase of approximately 10,000 votes over the 1934 majority in these districts, running the total Democratic majority near the 87,000 mark. "These increased Democratic majorities point to a healthy condition within the party and show the effects of a unity party organization. The signs point now, as they did two years ago, to a complete victory in the fall election.” HUNT FOR JEWELRY IS GIVENNEW TURN Brady Tells Officers Loot Was Hijacked. Search for jewelry valued at $35.000, stolen from the Partner Jewelry store in Dayton, 0., last month, spread to new channels today after the testimony of Alfred Brady, held for the murder of Police Sergt. Richard Rivers, that the loot was taken from Brady and his gang by 12 Chicago bandits. In a statement to Dayton police who were in Indianapolis yesterday to question Brady, he told of the Dayton robbery and how his gang in turn was robbed of the jewelry in Chicago the day after the holdup. According to the statement, Brady and his companions went to the Chicago apartment to meet the man who tipped them off to the robbery in Dayton, While arranging to split the loot, 12 men entered the apartment armed with revolvers and escaped with the jewelry. Brady was to be questioned further today. Bank Robbers Ask Leniency Thurman Howard and Lester Church, serving 10-year terms for robbery of a Petersburg bank in 1931, will be among 41 inmates of state institutions whose leniency pleas will be considered next week by the Clemency Commission.

URGES DRIVERS TO SLOW DOWN Stoops Says More Leisurely Pace Will Save Lives and Money. Slowing down will save human lives and dollars for the motorist, officials of the Hoosier Motor Club declared today. "United States Bureau of Standards tests indicate that the 30-mile-an-hour driver is the wise driver from a pocketbook, as well as a humane point of view,” Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the club asserted. "As compensation for his consideration of others, this careful driver gets 18 miles to the gallon at 30 miles an hour,” Mr. Stoops pointed out. "But at 60 miles an hour, the motorist gets only 12.6 miles to the gallon, and at 80 miles only 8.6.” Oil bills are also materially lowered by lesser speed, Mr. Stoops said. Oil consumption tests made by the contest board of the American Automobile Association at the Indianapolis Speedway showed that 6.9 times as much oil was consumed at 55 miles an hour as was used at 30 miles an hour, he pointed out. "Haste makes waste nowhere as fast as it dees on the highway,” Mr. Stoops declared. "Try slowing down this year. Enjoy your car while you save money and human life,” MEMORIAL POST NO. 3 TO HONOR MEMBERS Newcomers to Ranks to Be Guests at Ritual Ceremonies.

SMALL POWERS HAVE HOPES OF SAVINGLEAGUE Delegates of ‘Conscience’ Nations Meet on Crisis in Geneva. By United Press GENEVA, May 9.—Foreign ministers, representing the five nations called the "conscience of th® League” met today in a small hotel suite to plan a means of saving the League of Nations from th® consequences of its failure to prevent one of its members (Italy) from swallowing another (Ethiopia). Representing small nations for whom the League covenant —intended to protect the weak from the strong—is a living doctrine, they hoped that something might yet be done to save the League from such a loss of authority and prestige as would impair its effectiveness as an instrument of international co-operation and peace. Spanish Envoy Summoned Solemn, concerned, they assembled in the suite of Foreign Minister P. R. Munch, of Denmark, who, since Denmark is a member of the League Council, acts as their spokesman before the high governing body. The others were tall, scholarly A. C. D. Degraeff of the Netherlands and R. J. Sandler of Sweden. The other two nations of the League's "conscience”—Norway and Finland —also were represented. These five nations called in Salvador de Madariaga of Spain. Giuseppe Motta of Sweden as representatives of nations that have maintained a united front with them in previous League crises. Meanwhile, from Rome cam® word that Premier Mussolini tonight would proclaim annexation of Ethiopia which still is a member in good standing. From Paris came word that France and England had agreed to again postpone the attempt of the Council to end the Italo-Ehiopian crisis. Annexation Expected _ By United Press ROME, May 9.—Benito Mussolini will formally announce the annexation of Ethiopia to Fascist Italy tonight, it was reported. At 10 p. m. the Fascist Grand Council meets in the Palazzo Venezzia to formally approve annexation of the once proud and independent African empire. Italy Seizes Diredawa By United Press ROME, May 9. The Italian southern army, under the command of Gen. Rodolfo Graziani, has reached Diredawa, mid-control point of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railroad and objective for months of the drive from Italian Somaliland, it was reported today. This means that Italy has reached her two military goals in Ethiopia—Diredawa and Addis Ababa.
