RINGLING BROS SHOW.
The Big Circus Will Be Seen Here on
June 20.

Ringing Brothers big combined circus
menagerie and hippodrome will exhibit here
Wednesday, June 20. Since the last visit
of the show it has grown considerably in
size, but this is not surprising, for each
engagement of the show in Indianapolis
has been the occasion of some notable evil
dences of expansion.
Six or seven years ago, when Ringing
Brothers circus exhibited here the first
time. 1t was not remarkable for SIZE but
there was something about the show that
attracted attention and stamped it as a
show of individuality. The performance
was new. 1t was clean. 1t was up to date.
Confirmed circus devotees declared that the
show had given the best arenic perform
ance ever seen in Indianapolis. This opin-
ion has been sustained by each recurring
visit, while each year has created renewed
interest by the fact that it revealed big
ger and more complete exhibition. The
show this year Is said to be the largest
and best-equipped circus now before the
public. This is easily demonstrated by the
fact that the show owns and operates
Sixty-fve -double-length railroad cars. No
other circus in America has anywhere near
so many The show next in size 10 Ring
ling Brothers has only fifty-four, while no
other tent show has more than forty. An
other indication of the vast size of Ringing
Brothers circus is the amount of ground
required to properly erect the canvas city
daily used by the exhibition. The largest OF
the contemporary shows uses less than six
acres. Ringing Brothers circus uses
twelve acres. Probably no better illustra-
ton of the immensely of the show could be
given. The performance is given in three
rings, on two stages, in midair and upon a
huge quarter-mile racing course, under
what is declared to be the largest canvas
pavilion ever constructed. There ore fully
a thousand men, women and children, in
Guiding three hundred high-salaried per-
formers, five hundred horses and an i'm
mense menagerie, which embraces twenty
five elephants, twenty camels and a mag
nificent collection Of rare wild animals.
Ringing Brothers geological display has
recently been augmented by almost an en-
tire shipload of rare animals. and is a
distinctly novel and attractive display. The
show Is especially strong In trained-animai
numbers this year. These include O'Brien's
famous sixty-oEe-horse act, Souder's ele-
plant brass band. German importation,
and Lockhart's new troupe OF comedy ele-
plants. A new patriotic Introductory mill
tary spectacle and a new free street pa
rade add interest to the exhibition. The
show is now on its way west after very
successful Eastern tour. and Indianapolis
is one of the few cities in this section that
will be visited this year.

REPORT IN ROTH'S CASE.
Committee Found that He Sold Non.
union-Made Cigars.

The committee of the Cigar Makers Union
which considered the case Of c. c. Roth,
made the following report yesterday
Your special committee to whom was
given the work OF investigating rumors re-
lating to c. c. Roth selling nonunion cigars
and using his political office Tor business
gain in promoting the sale or same, beg
leave to make the following report:
After making a thorough investigation
and running down supposed cleWs,We round
that said c. c. Roth did sell some nonunion
cigars, one lot of three thousand to John
Lux at $l2 per thousand, and another OF
five hundred to z. Mantel at the rate of
$50 per thousand. These were sold in job
lots. The firm he represents, Schnull IL Co,
wholesale grocers, handle almost exclusive
ly union made cigars. They assured your
committee that IL would continue to be
their policy to give union-made goods the
preference. They treated your committee
ccurteously and gave us assistance in max
ing the investigation thorough.
I'm regard to the charge that Mr.. Roth
used his political position for business gain,
we find no tangible evidence to substantiate
il, and believe 1t to be the result of rumors
only. Your committee desires to add that
in making this investigation We visited
large number of places where cigars are
sold and at the saloon of William Flynn,
city sprinkling inspector, which is located
on West Ray street, not a single union
made cigar was found on sale; everything
nonunion.
'At the Norwood saloon, located at the
corner of Madison avenue and Norwood
street, we found that only three brands OF
cigars out of fifteen handled bore the union
label. This saloon is operated by Bowman
a. zimmerman. Bowman is now and has
been for several years employed in the city
engineers office. We believe the union
should take steps that would improve the
conditions in both these places. We be-
lieve that city officials who draw salaries
out of money paid in as taxes
by the thousands of union men
In Indianapolis should give pref
erence TO home products and union
made articles II they engage in private
business on the side"
The report was signed by John l.. Felt
man, II. c. Bland NJ. @. Farnaham, o. c.
Miner. Clarence Gaumer and A. Brinkman.

IN LEsCARBo's BEHALF.
An Effort Being Made 10 Secure q
Pardon for Him.

A sequel to a mysterious case tried some
time ago in the Federal Court was received
yesterday by the federal officers in this
city in the shape of an application for
warded from the Department of Justice at
Washington for the pardon of Thomas
Lescarbo, of Vevay, Ind, who was SEN
fenced to serve a year and day in the
Ohio Penitentiary for falsely representing
himself to be Thomas O'Brien, a soldier Of
the civil war, and drawing a pension on
the Misrepresentation.
The real Thomas O'Brien was an inmate
of the Soldiers Home at Tagus, Me-, and
IL was only after he had appeared as a
witness in the case and had recognized the
defendant old comrade who had been
In the same regiment with him, that the
bogus Thomas OBrien confessed that his
real name was Thomas Lescarbo. Just
why Lescarbo had assumed the name or
OBrien was never found out. His soldier
record was good as that of O'Brien' 5,
and he would have had little difficulty IN
obtaining a pension on his own record.
The federal officers decline to say what
action they propose taking with regard TO
recommending the pardon, but IL is ex-
tremely probable that they will do all they
can to secure his release.

William Reese, OF Martinsville. had an
escape from death yesterday morning
which has caused much talk among rail-
way men. He was waiting at the Massa-
chusetts-avenue depot for a train. Becom-
ing restless. he went out and was walk
ing upon the tracks, when he was struck
by an incoming train. He was knocked
down and held between the pilot of the en-
CINE and the rail, in which position he was
pushed along the rail for about l5c feet.
When the train stopped he arose. brushed
his clothes and walked back to the smok-
ing car of his train and calmly took a
seat. His coat was torn where ii had come
in contact with the rail-. Had II caught on
any projection there would have been no
escape from death. Spectators were horri-
fed TO see his perilous position and as
founded when he got up and walked back
to the coach with so little concern.
