THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1914

MEN TURN "KIDS" WITH JCIRCUS HERE Richmond TurnstOut Early to Watch Howes' Shows Unload and See Parade Move Through Streets. There are about 24,999 Vklds" in Richmond today. Yesterday the "kids" werebusiness tnen and men in all walks ofUife, but today they are undoubtedly "kidsJ" fThey becamesso when Howes' Greater London Shows arrived in Richmond at 4:30 o'clock this morning' and they nwill remain sountil the big tents are folded away and the circus departs after 11 o'clock tonight. Circuses have ' been rare things in Richmond the past few years. Therefore, Howes' circus, which played here just a quanter of a century ago, was greeted as avi ovation. Several hundred persons were at the Twelfth street crossing at sunrise to see the raptid fire work with which circuses are unloaded. The two trains v ith forty-two .cars reached here from Columbus, InL, without mishap. After two hours of shouting, pushing, backing of wagons, prodding of elephants,

equaling of animalsand shunting abouti

of cars, the circus was unloaded and on the Nineteenth street circus grounds. Equipment SLooks Bright. Fresh from winter quarters at IMontgomeiy, Alal the circus left there three weeks ago the wagons presented a gala appearance. Most of the paraphernalia is new. The costumes looked fresh and bright, most of them having coniie from Europe, Jvhere Howes' shows completed a seven years' tour in 1912. The 600 employes did not hae the jaded look of circus followers late in the season. I The horsies are fine specimens, sleek and well groomed. The show carries about 300x horses, all of good strain. An innovation was presented in the -parade line when a big circus wagon 'drawn by two dromedaries and two !eamels passed' in the line of march.

Out of the ordinary, the circus parade left the grounds on time this morning and proceeded down North E street.

'up Fort Wayneavenue and along Main 'street. returnirtg to the grounds after approximately U5.000 persons had watched it. Works LSke Machine. There was a tlhrong of Richmond and Wayne county residents on the ; grounds today to iee the machine-like (precision with whih the show moves. 'The tent sections were hastily and or

derly unrolled overVthe big poles already laid for the main tent. The manner in which thie bulk of canvas o ouicklv became a big well sheltered

itent, was almost mystlerious. so rapidly !s?nd quietly was it accomplished. BeIfore this had been done, however, (there had been a cook tent, dining tent and four or five horse tents erected and ready for the business of carryi ing on a circus.

; Strangely, it did not rain as soon as the circus became established for the I day. but older residents predicted rain, las it is said no circus day has passed in Richmond for years without rain at tsome time in the day. Everything was I in readiness for the show and the crowds were there this afternoon from the son of the wealthiest man to the little colored boy who wanted to carry ' water for the elephant so he, too, could : see the show. The show carries about 200 acts, in

cluding the main show with three rings, where there is "something doing" all the time.

REBEL AVIATOR DROPSJ BOMBS (Continued from iPage One)

fears are entertained inadministration circles for the safety of John R. Stilliman, vice and deputy counsul at Saltillo, who disappeared ajt San Luis Potosi, and unless word is received from the missing American official within twelve hours the Mexican dictator will be ordered to produce the counsul agent, or the United States forces will rush to his rescue. This rumor is cur

rent around the state, war (and navy departments today. It still lacks official confirmation.

Continued preparations for extensive hostilities by the war and navy departments, however, give rise to the belief that the Mexican situation is approaching a freeh crisis. Carranza Gains Victory. With reports from General Carranza of sweeping victories of his forces over the Federals near San Luis Potosi and other points south ofiSaltillo, the A.. B. C. mediators today marked time in their efforts to settle -the differemces'between President Huertaand the United States. Plana for the conference at Niagara Falls were discussed, but for the most part envoys rested. Officials here see little work for the mediators' to do, should the success of the Constitutionalists continue. They believe the revolutionists will have captured or bottled up Mexico City before the mediators get down to real negotiations, and General Huerta will. have been removed. News that the Constitutionalists are sweeping everything before them in their advance on Huerta's stronghold was sent to Senor Zubaran here by General Carranza. Wants Carranza Represented. The Mediators liave determined to proceed with their1 work regardless of the course of General Carranza, but in quarters outside of the envoys, pressure is being applied to the rebel leader to bring him into-, the conference. The United States, it' is believed, de

sires the Constitutionalists to take part in the conference so that the whole Mexican situation might be considered. Nearly all of the 1,100 Mexicans in Monterey, Mex., left that town after its recent evacuation by the Federals, fearing that they would be murdered by the latter if they should recapture the place, according to A. L. Stevens, a lumberman, who reached here today from the Mexican town. He declared that the Huertaists threatened to hang the Americans in the consulate if arms were discovered there. "All of the Federals subjected Consul General Hanna to the greatest humiliation before they left," he said. "After taking him to the penitentiary they transferred him to the state house where he was confined at the tme the rebels . took the city. The Federals apparently got cold feet, for they had as many men as the rebels and had field guns, of which the rebels had none. General Jesus Carranza, brother of the Constitutional chief, is in command in Monterey. He appears anxious to be friendly with the Americans and has treated them ' most courteously."

POST C DIVIDES AT PROSPECTJF FIGHT (Continued from Page One.)

STARR ASKS $2,000

With Richard Brown in the Michigan City penitentiary for a term of two to fourteen years for assault with intent to kill, Howard Starr, of Webster, the victim, brought a damage suit demanding $2,000 from Borwn. The suit was brought by the prosecuting attorney, who also handled the case against Brown for the state when he was on criminal trial. The shooting occurred at Webster, September 17, 1913. Brown was sent to the penitentiary about three months ago. Brown in a heat of rage shot Starr, who was expected to do, but recovered after three months' suffering. He claims that as a result of the shots through his breast, iungs and back he is not physically as strong as before. Both men were employes of the C. and O. railroad, Starr as section boss and Brown as ticket agent at Webster.

in the banquet program they would be conspicuous by their absence. 1 1 iff Considers Case. This morning Edgar Iliff, president of the Richmond Humane society, was appealed to to use his influence to

prevent the proposed battle. He said he would make an investigation of the matter and if warranted in taking such action would make every effort to prevent the contest. Chief Goodwin was asked to detail a squad of officers to stop the fight, if it is attempted, and to arrest the men who take part in it. Yesterday Chief Goodwin emphatically declared he would not allow the fight to be held under any consideration, but today he assumed a different attitude. He said that he had beeu assured by P. J. Freeman, A. Gordon, J. P. Highley, E. E. Lebo, W. H. Quigg, J. B. Hegger, I). S. Coe and other members of Post C that the fight would not be a brutal exhibition in any sense of the word, and that if the fight was not as represented by its promoters he would stop it. Lebo Ought to Know. "Some members of Post C are unduly agitated over this badger fight," said E. E. Lebo, a prominent member of the post. "1 have seen one or two of them and they are not one-half as bad as a boxing match. I can speak authoritively on this matter for I once acted as referee of a badger fight. The owners of the dog and the badger allow them to 'mix it' for a second or two, and then separate the animals be

fore either has done damage to the other. Hundreds of T. P. A. men who are coming to the city to attend the convention are looking forward eagerly to this badger fight and they will be greatly disappointed if it is not held, and it would be a shame to disappoint them." Asked his opinion of Governor Ralston's announcement that if the chief of police of Richmond and the sheriff of Wayne county did not stop the contest he would take a hand in the matter, Mr. Lebo said he thought that misrepresentations had been made to the governor by those who had protested to him. "I will take no action in this affair

unless I am appealed to by the police," Sheriff Bayer said today. He would make no other comment.

Mrs. Jones and family wishes to extend thanks to those that befriended her during her husband's illness and death, the G. A. R., W. R. C. and, Mt. Moriah Baptist church and friends and the railroad boys. 7-lt

i Don't stay gray! Try it! No one i tan possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally i and evenly.
