Ringing Bros. at GAINESVILLE July 3Oth

The people of Edgerton will have an
opportunity on Thursday, July Both, of
visiting Ringing Brothers Worlds
Greatest Shows, the point of exhibition
being Evansville.
This season marks the twenty fifth
anniversary of this great circus, and the
Ringling Brothers are celebrating the
year by presenting the greatest Euro
pean program ever offered, parade that
surpasses all those of the past, a new
and complete menagerie, another bril-
liant spectacle, and the most astonish-
ing and sensational thriller" in all his
tory.
The thriller" is nothing less than a
double somersault in mid air made by
heavy automobile with Mile. La Belle
Roche, young French woman, at the
wheel. The car dashes down a steep in
cline from the dome of the tent. An alb
rupt up-curved terminal hurls the car
high above the heads of the audience,
where it accomplishes two complete rev.
olutions and then lands with crash on
a narrow speedway, exhausting its ter
rife momentum on the hippodrome
track.
The world wide character of this
years remarkable company can be seen

does the famous automobile double
somersault
From Italy have come the great Be-
dini family of riders and the Marnello-
Marnitz quartet of acrobatic bellringers.

grea zebra rider; Marguerite and Han
ley, the gymnasts, and the Prosit trio
and Horton and Linden, burlesque bar
performers, Riccobono the worlds great
est trainer of animals, and his marvellous

the Mira Golefn acrobats are from the
court of the Shah of Persia.
Norwood and his trained bears; the
buttons and the Clark Brothers, riders;
the great aerial Clatkonians and the fa-
nous Jordan family are from England;

FORAKER .UNYIELDING
REPORTED HE WILL KEEP UP
FIGHT TO. THE FINISH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. February 12.-News
from Washington bringing the informa-
ton that Senator Foraker proposes to con-
tinue the fight against Secretary Taft In
spite Of the result Of yesterdays primary
election has deprived the Taft leaders Of
much OF the enjoyment Of their victory Of
yesterday. That Senator Foraker would
take this position and keep the situation
in Ohio confused up to the meeting of the
national convention was suspected, and
that suspicion is now confirmed.
Mr. Vorys declined to discuss the matter
this morning, intimating that republicans
who would not recognise direct express
sion Of their party ought not to receive
consideration. From local Foraker men
1t is learned that Foraker's plan II to have
the six members Of the state central COM
mittee who stand by Foraker Issue a
call for republican mass conventions in
every county, setting forth their reasons
for regarding the state primaries just
held as illegal.
A state convention of delegates chosen
at these mass conventions, to be held In
April, is to select delegates at large to
the national convention, among whom
will, Of course, be Senators Foraker and
Dick. and they will thus have an oppor-
tunity to be present at the national con-
vention. What attitude the senator's will
take toward the state candidates seems
yet uncertain. If the primaries held are H.
legal the nominations for state officers
made as their result can hardly be reg
ular.

ANOTHER CONVENTION.
No Confirmation of Rumor of One i
Ohio.

No Confirmation of Rumor of One in
Ohio.
Politicians at the Capitol were very
much interested today, when the public
report that Senator Foraker intends to
call a rival convention Of republicans in
Ohio to select delegates to the national
convention was given out One New York
newspaper quoted the senator as saying:
When 1ley have had their convention
(referring to the Taft people) we will
hold ours
Efforts during the early part of the day
to find Senator Foraker were unavailing.
He was not at the Capitol, and inquiries
at mis- house were met with the reply
that he was engaged and could not be
disturbed. The report was current about
a week ago that Senator Foraker might
decide to ask his followers to meet in
boiting convention. At that time Senator
Foraker repudiated the idea, and declared
he had no such intentions. 1t was SAID
today that the renewal of the rumor was
due TO the return to the city yesterday
afternoon OF Senator Dick, who was AL
legged 20 have brought the information
that the republican primaries IN ONO
were not we'll attended by the voters.
Senator Dick was at the Capitol today.
but declined to talk for publication on
the subject Of another convention. Some
of his friends have said that Senator Dick
was of the opinion that the contest be-
tween the Foraker and Taft factions will
be carried into the conventions to be held
in the several congressional districts. but
they did rot think that there would be a
ru,np state convention. A number of dis
trict conventions will be held during this
month and in March. and it is thought
that the Foraker forces will .direct their
-effcrts toward trying to pick of district
delegates.

BRYAN AT BUFFALO TODAY.
Will Deliver Five Addresses on as
MANY Different Subjects.

BUFFALO, February 12.-Will.am j.
Bryan arrived here today from his Cana
dian tour. At Niagara Falls he delivered
an address under the auspices of the DEM
ocratic committee. Beginning this after
noon Mr.. Bryan will deliver five addresses
here on as many different subjects-a gem
eral address to women. religious address
to the clergy, a political address to the
general public. a patriotic address al a
private club and q fraternal address to a
fraternal organization of which he is a
member.
In addition to the above program he will
receive visit from the democratic lead
ers at his hotel at O'clock. and between
and will attend reception by the
democratic county committee.
In statement given to newspapers he
discussed the money situation as 1t pre-
sents itself today. and himself declared
that his statement covered the entire Sit
uation. The statement was as follows: Il
was disappointed the other night in New
York to find that several OF the prominent
financiers were in favor of turning the
currency question over to a commission to
report after election. believe they
should legislate right away There ard
two phases Of the currency question it
appears now. The first relates to emer-
gency currency and the second to the
regulation OF banks.
II believe that the demand for emer-
gency currency should be met by a law
authorizing the government to issue
United States notes and loan them to the
banks on adequate securities until proper
restrictions at rate of interest that
would compel them to return the notes
when the emergency is over. But more
important even than emergency currency
is the guarantee o. banks so thar money
now In hiding would be brought into the
banks. so that the banks would have
money to loan for the carrying on of
business.
THE Oklahoma plan is. / think. a good
one. 1t authorizes the banking board to
collect tax on banks in proportion TO
their deposits and then aut horizes the COL
lection of such other assessments as may
be necessary to restore the fund when
ever it is reduced by the payment of the
deposits Of failed banks.
1T puts all the banks behind each bank
When all the banks become liable for
each bank they will consent to reguIa-
tions which have long been needed
Three of the ways in which regulations
should be made more strict are:
First. Compel the banks to keep a
larger percentage of the reserve i'm their
own vaults.
Second. A law making it a criminal
offenSe for a bank officer to loan or for
any one connected with bank to borrow
more than 10 per cent Of the capital and
surplus.
Third. A law making it a criminal Of
fense for a bank official 10 gamble in the
stock or grain market.
These three laws would very much re-
duce the number of failures. and thus
tighten the tax the banks would have TO
pay under the guarantee system.
THAT covers the money question as it
presents itself at this time"
