Toga
Surprise Is Sprung at a Quiet Little
Dinner Given by Anthony
Schwamm to Prominent
Democrats

With the most toothsome foods and
choicest wines spread on the table be-
fore them nearly a score of the most
prominent Democrats in the state
gathered round the banquet board at
the Casa Esmeralda on the San Fer
nando rof last night, and in the en-
thusiasm of the moment informally in
augurated a boom which, if success
full, will place Mayor A. C. Harper
in the governors chair at Sacramento
and give to Theodore A. Bell the toga
of United States senator from Cali
fornia. The party were guests of An
thony Schwamm, and Theodore A. Bel
was the guest of honor.
Mayor -rper after his name had
been loudly declaimed as that of Cali
fornia's next chief executive, respond
ed in a few words and stated that
being mayor of Los Angeles was honor
enough for one man. But his fellow
Democrats would not have it so, and
Mr.. Harper was enthusiastically greet
ed as Governor
Mr.. Bell also denied that he has as
pirations toward a seat in the upper
national house in Washington. He
gave his views at some length on the
ruling system OF politics, both local
and national, and his remarks were
greeted with cheers from the small
throng.
Schwamm Toastmaster
Anthony Schwamm acted as toast
III q
ceeding course of the excellent Span
ish dinner was served he called for a
new speaker with a few witty and
we'll chosen remarks. The party was
entirely without formality and during
the evening politics in general and the
recent scandals in this state In par
ticular were discussed.
Among the guests was State Senator
Mccartney, and his disinclination to
sneak called forth such torrent of
protests that Mr.. Mccartney was final
ly forced to his feet to defend himself
from the well meant jests hurled at
him.
Among the the guests who partici-
mated in the delightful affair were
Theodore A. Bell, Senator Mccartney,
Hon. A. C. Harper, Martin Betkouski,
Capt. George Cake, Ed German, Mr..
Blake of Whittier, S. P. Clark, d. c.
McGarvin, Judge Baker of Alturas and
Senator George w. Cartwright, author
of the antitrust bill which will go
into effect next week.
Mr.. Bell and one or two others werei
forced to leave early, but the majority
of the guests remained at the Casa
Esmeralda until a late hour and en-
loved the we'll known hospitality of
The charming restaurant. When the
party finally did break up it was with
a firm determination to put Mayor
Harper in the governors chair and
Theodore Bell as chief representative
from California to the upper house at
the national capital.

COLUMBUS MAN
INJURED AT DEPOT
While Attempting Ito Board

J. r. Richardson Has a Narrow
Escape From Being Crushed
Beneath Wheels.

Mr.. j. r. Richardson, aged 23
years, was thrown from an excursion
train at he Pennsylvania depot at 8
o'clock this morning, sustaining SER
ious injuries.
The unfortunate man was aboard
section No. of the Kilbourne and
Jacobs excursion from Columbus to
at the local depot he LETT it and en-
tered the depot hotel to purchase a
sanwich. The train was going at
,, good rate of speed when the young
man attempted TO board it. At the
moment when he gripped the car
railing, his feet slipped and hanging
on with one hand his body was
dragged along the track for several
hundred feet. He finally lost his
grip and was thrown to the ground,
narrowly escaping being crushed be-
meath the wheels of the train.
| Richardson was apparently in very
icritical condition when picked up. The
Hess ambulance was called and he
was taken to the Central Emergency
hospital. The physicians examination
disclosed that he had sustained a
, fractured rib on the right side, his
back was badly wrenched and
sprained and there were numerous
bruises and cuts over the entire body.
| The crew on the excursion train
knew nothing of the accident and the
train sped away towards Sandusky
The accident was witnessed, however,
by a score of people who were stand
ing about the station and the escape
of the young man was considered lit
tie less than miraculous.
Richardson's condition was greatly
improved this afternoon and it is
thought he will be able to return
home this evening.

CIRCUS DRAWS
SMALL CROWDS
s---r->s rNTfIF
Trouble Over Parade Hurt
Attendance.
SEVERAL BIG FEATURES
Were Very Conspicuous by
Their Absence.
Some of the Acts were New and
Novel-Next Circus will surely
Pay the License.

Friday was one of the most remark
able circus days that Marion has ev-
er experienced. The usual crowds
which throng the streets. the hurry
and skurry and general excitement at
tending the appearance of one of the
big shows we're all missing during the
day and a chance outsider dropping
into the city at any time would not
have surmised that a circus was in
town.
The fact that the customary street
parade did not take place probably
served more than anything else to
detract from the general interest man
ifested by the public. Early in the
morning people began to congregate
in the uptown section, but when
the report began to be circulated that
there would be no parade, the crowd
began to dwindle. Shortly after 10
O'Clock an employe of the circus COM
pany walked through the business
section of the city announcing that
the parade would be abandoned and
from then on there was nothing do
ing"
There is no doubt that the failure
to give a street parade affected the
size OF the crowds at the afternoon
and evening performances. The at
tendance at both shows, despite the
fact that weather conditions were al
most ideal, was the smallest seen at
any circus in Marion in years The
evening performance was attended
by only about 5000 people, while
generally at least, 10000 is a fair es-
innate of the evening attendance at a
big show when it comes to Marion.
The afternoon crowd was about the
same size.
The show itself, while IL was not
all that was advertised, was not
complete disappointment. Some OF
the big features which had been
glaringly announced, were noticeably
absent. However, there we're
OF features which were entire
ly new to local circus lovers and the
performance as a whole was entertain
ing. IL was much shorter than the
average circus performance, lasting
only about an hour and 30 minutes
IL had been advertised that there
would be four rings, and although
ther was room in the big tent for
that number, only three were used.
Among the equestrians in the show
was Mrs. James Mountain, formerly
of Marion.
at is certain that the next circus
which visits Marion will be willing
to pay the city license fee in order
TO be able to give parade" said a
prominent local official today. Con
sidering the money which big cir
Gus takes out of Marion, the amount
OF damage which is done to the
streets and the expense which is
caused by employing special police
men, II is not unreasonable to charge
N5 or 500 for a license. Mayor
scherff is TO be commended for insist
Ing that the show comply with the
ordinance"
