One hundred and twenty cash girls,
bundle wrappers. cash boys, and stock
boys from GOldenberg's dry goods store
had the time of their lives at Barnum
Bailey's circus.
They arrived at the circus grounds In
three big automobiles before there were
a dozen persons in the main tent. and
remained until after most of the vast
crowd had dispersed. The girls and
boys ranging from twelve 10 eighteen
years OF age. had everything their hearts
could wisA. anc did the circus thor
oughly- They had everything from
soup 10 nuts and back TO soup again.
All the side shows were taken in by
the little ones. and they consumed
bushels of peanuts and popcorn and
made the red lemonade and candy kiss

Luncheon Served at Store.
Yesterday morning the girls and boys
appeared at the store in their best bibs
and fuckers. Everything was hurry and
hustle around the store all day. and
anxious eyes watched the clocks.
At $50 O'Clock Mr. Goldenberg started
serving lunch 70 the cash boys and
girls, bundle wrappers. and stock boys.
In relays they were relieved from duty
In the store and sent 20 the cafe on
the top floor OF the store. There they
were given soup. sandwiches, cake, pea
nuts, and all the pink lemonade they
could drink As each dozen finished they
left the table and went back 20 their
counters.
Promptly at s o'clock three large See
ing Washington automobiles drew up on
the Seventh street side OF the store
and there was a great ringing Of bells
and sounding OF horns. In less time

The Allison Amendment
About this time 1 was Informed by
various Democratic Senators that they
could not come TO an agreement upon
any amendment. and that the best
chance for success lay in passing the
Hepburn bill substantially unchanged.
was Informed and believed that this
was Senator BaIley's view. and a num-
Der Of the Republican Senator'S who
favored the bill expressed the same
opinion
Shortly after this you, in company
with Senator Cullom. called upon me
with the amendment which is now com
monty known as the Allison amendment.
1 told you that while I should prefer the
Long and Overman amendments, yet
that your amendment was entirely sat
isfactory. Your amendment does not in
the slightest degree weaken or in1urs
the Hepburn bill 1t merely expresses
what the friends Of the bill have always
asserted was. implied by the terms or
the bill
/ may add that my own opinion. that
your amendment IS no way changed
whether by diminishing or enlarging the
scope Of the court review as provided in
the original Hepburn bill, IS also the
opinion of the Attorney General, Of Mr.
Root. and Of Mr.. Taft Their Judgment
IS that the amendment merely avoids
the criticism that the Hepburn bill
would be constitutionally invalid in not
expressly providing the court review
which its supporters have always con-
tended was plainly implied In the orig
inal language.
The original Hepburn bill stated that
the venue for certain actions was in
certain courts: the amendment states
tnat these courts shall have Jurisdic-
ton 10 consider such actions. To nv
mind II seems difficult 10 assert that
this works any change whatever in the
principle of the bill Yours sincerely
