able business for the railroad panies
to handle the large circuses is disputed
by number of men in the railroad pro-
fession who are able to make correct
estimate of the danger in which com

The danger lies in the large number
of wrecks that are reported every sea

attractions carried by the circuses OF
today. A single wreck reported several

A circus has the right of way over all
trains with the exception Of the passen

is often retarded in harding the circus
trains and this one point leaGs to the
high rates charged by the railroad com
panies for their services.
An example of the rates charged may
be taken from the Santa Fe railroad

total Of $13,950 in freight from Septem-
