SHRINE CIRCUS EXCELS LAST YEAR EXHIBITION

Famous Showman Opens Performance Last Night At Orak Temple's Evenin Show. Something new in circus history was written last night when Hammond's second Shrine circus was going through Its opening performance. A circus performer received such persistant applause that he was forced to give an encore. It was never done before. The performer Is Joe Hodginl. international somersault bareback rider. Joe went through his stunts and beat it for the dressing room, but the crowd ' wouldn't stand for it. The acclaim continued. The applause was continuous. It grew in volume and Joe tarried back stage. At last the management chased him out again. He did his regular part over and added every other trick he knew. He rode the horse in every imaginable pose from its ears to the tip of its tail. There never was a prouder circus star than Joe Hodginl last night. He'll always remember Hammond. Last night's opening performance broke last year's record. There were fully half as many more In the Shrine auditorium than were at the first night last year. The school kids nearly carried away the place In the afternoon and it seemed as though every one of them sent the rest of the family back in the evening. ROBINSON IX PERSON John Robinson himself came all the way from Cincinnati to Hammond to give the signal which started Orak's second big Indoor circus. That's how much other people think of the stunt which Hammond Shriners are pulling off. Robinson is head of the John Robinson shows. He is a grandson of the original John Robinson who started America's first traveling circus in 1824. He appeared before the crowd of children first yesterday afternoon and was given a rousing reception when he was introduced by Dr. Sharrer. Last evening he was again warmly applauded by the crowded house which greeted the circus. THE BEST EVER Showmen declare that Hammond Is putting on the biggest and best indoor circus ever attempted in the country. Its fame has spread. Among yesterday's visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Harry McKay of Chicago. McKay is president of the JITNEY VS. STREET CAR LAST NIGHT Rubbing a furrowed and feverish brow, a disinterested observer present last night at a meeting of the Calumet Aveniue Improvement Association, comprising some 150 property owners of the street, called to discuss the question of street car service for Calumet avenue, might have concluded from the result of a rising vote that the property owners welcomed extension of street car service In the thoroughfare but were apposed to placing restrictions on Jitneys anywhere in the city. In other words they wanted iboth Jitneys and street cars. Frank Kockler. Calumet avenue barber, presided as chairman. Others on the .platform were Fred Crumpacker, attorney for the street railways, C. E. Lawrence, head of the street car company; Milo M. Bruce, attorney for the Hammond Motor Transportation Association, comprising some 150 Jitney operators, and E. L. Plain, se-.retaiy of the jit association. The meeting beran with a hubhub when the uninvited Jitneurs put in an appearance. The session progressed in hectic fashion. Lines were sharply drawn. One was either for or against. As a result nothing very satisfactory was consummated for either side. It is pretty certain that the Calumet avenue property owners are in favor of "loop service" over the street. The vote slsnitted that. But it's certain too that they aren't altogether against the Jitney. The Calumet Avenue Improvement Association went on record as favoring an extension of the street railways through the avenue. The Jitney men agreed that If It were merely a matter of service to south elders, they would julokly settle the transportation question by sending jitneys through those streets. This morning, according to E. J. Plain. Jitneys began leaving the Lyndora Hotel over the new route. This will extend from Columbia and Highland, thence in Columbia to Becker, thence to Calumet, from there to Fayette, thence to Oakley, to State, to--"e Four Corners. The return trip 111 be made over the same route. The jitney men say they have petitions bearing the signatures of 500 householders in the Eleventh Ward favoring the jitneys. Many of the signers, they say, expressed disapproval of street car service in Calumet avenue.

Atlantic City Board Walk Co. Then there were Mr .and Mrs. Charles Rooney of Baraboo, Wis. They are famous bareback riders with Ringling Bros, circus. Buck Reeger, producing clown of the Sclls-Floto cir. cus, dropped into look things over. Clay Womack, representing Loyalty Blue Lodge of Detroit, was another interested spectator. His lodge is planning to duplicate Hammond's circus, if vos3lble. the week of December 4. THEATRICAL PEOPLE HERE Representatives of the Western Vaudeville Managers Assn., and the Schubert vaudeville circuit, are in Hammond tod"ay getting pointers. A committee is expected to arrive this evening from Jackson, Mich. They represent the Conopus Club, a busin e s s men's organization which wants to put on a circus soon to boost Jackson. The committee is headed by a minister. That gives an idea of the opinion of outsiders and also gives an inkling of the "crowds which will be swarming to Hammond from now until the ten days' engagement ends. Think of a circus performance with twenty-four different acts, everyone of them a headliner. Description of any one would be useless. The only way to get an idea of the show is to see it. The style show of "Palace of Progress" on the third floor was late In getting started. Several of the booths were not fitted out completely last night, but ail are now in readiness. Interesting and Instructive exhibits of household appliances and different lines of business will draw much attention from visitors. Expert demonstrators are in charge of the booths. Harry Morgeiu, who is head of this department, urges all visitors to register at each booth as the exhibitors are all giving prizes in addition to the ones which are giving each day by the circus. Last night's prize, the percolator set, was won by George Kane, Hickory St.. Hammond. Exhibitors In the Palace of Progress are as follows: American Automobile Underwriters, Inc.; Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.; Carl E. Nelson, druggist; H. J. Postlewaite, stationer; Bodie, photographer; J. E. Howe; J. F. Blum & Son, clothiers; A F. Kllborn. bakery; Colonial Sporting Goods Store; Calumet Pickle Works; General Electric Co.; Standard Elec"trlc Co.; Trl-Clty Electric Service Co.; Siraube Piano Co.; Hammond Clearing House Association; Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co.; Calumet Baking Co.; Joseph A. Lemere, plumbing; Wolff Manufacturing Co.. plumbing supplies.

Friends of the- street railways at last night's meeting rolnted out that completion of the Calumet avenue "loop service" would solve Hammond's transportation problem so far as the southeast Mde goes. They feel highly encouraged at the stand taken by the Calumet avenue property owners. FEDERAL -GRAND JURY The federal grand Jury convened today and will be in session for at least two weeks. Homer Elliott, United States district attorney, said he hoped to have the work of the Jury completed in time to permit the court to complete the trials of criminal cases before Christmas. No cases of outstanding importance are to be presented to the Jury, Mr. Elliott said, except one Involving persons charged with liquor violations In Lake county. Other liquor cases of minor Importance have been prepared for the consideration of the Jury, as well as the general run cf violations of other laws. The cases have been in course of preparation for several weeks by Mr. Elliott, Alexander G. Cavins and Dixon II. Bynum, assistant district attorneys. DENY HERU T MARION, ILL., Nov. 9 Judge D. T. Hartwell today denied a motion of defense attorneys to quash the indictments against the men charged with murder for their alleged connection with the Lester mine riots of last June. Simultaneously with the judge's refusal to quash the indictments. Frank Farrington. president of the Illinois United Mine Workers issued a statement declaring that in Tuesday's election in Williamson county the voters had .elected every candidate supported by the "union," despite the fact that Attorney-General Brundage, himself a republican urged the citizens of Williamson to repudiate at the polls every republican who could be pu.'pected of union sympathies."

Pomerene of Ohio and Hitchcock of Nebraska, went down to defeat on Tuesday and on top of that Senator Oscar Underwood of Alabama has renounced hi. titular leadership of the minority !n the present senate. Underwood has tried to chuck the Job before, but so disorganised and factlonally embittered have the Democrats been 'that they could agree on no one to take his place. The wounds of 1920 and the League of Nations would not heal at a touch. READY TO ORGANIZE "Now we've got to organise." said a Democratic senator today, and he voiced the feelings of his colleagues.

It la not Improbable that either Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas or Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi will be selected to serve the Sixtyseventh congress out as leader until plans can be laid for the Sixtyeighth and 1924. Robinson Is a two-fisted, rough and ready debater. He was permanent chairman of the San Francisco convention and his exhibition of riding that fractious horse gave general satisfaction. Moreover, he is not aligned with any of the num. erous bitter factions in the party Conx.nueii on page Ave.) W.
