! SOCIETY
CIRCUS"

The Roswell Elks, always solici-
tious as to the entertainment of the
people of the Pecos Valley, have de-
cided to give them another run for
their money this fall in the shape of
what is to be called Society Cir

fiesta. And if everybody doesn't have
a good time, it will I5e his own fault.
1t will extend over a period CT three
OF four days. and will be put on at
Amusement Park along the latter part
of next month, September.
The society circus will be some
thing new in this section of the coun-

great success where tried elsewhere
II will be "A circus complete in every
detail and the program will be put on
by well known local people. The us

produced by the people we know and
therefore will be of more interest
than usual The musical part of the
show will be success, for IL will be
under the direction of the new musi-
cal Instructor. Mr.. Chase.
Roswell will probably have no reg
ular circus this summer and fall and
the production of the Elks will take
the place or II. The fiesta or carni-
val feature will add interest to the oc
casion. The Elks have already receiv
ed many offers from various concerns

novel free attractions, and some OF
them will DE secured. A band will be
hired to furnish music for the entire
period. If possible the annual horse
show, Instituted two years ago by the
Elks. will be pulled off at this time.
II will be a regular fall festival for
the people of the entire valley and ev-

and meet their friends and have
good time.
c. G. Tannehill. Ross l.. Malone and

Amos +. Baker, of Matteawan State
asylum, was recalled to the stand to-
day in the rhaw hearing and under
the questioning of Morschauser. ad-
mitted that had il not been for the
Stanford White episode. he would
have had hesitancy in committing
Thaw TO the asylum. Although the i'm
preston was given yesterday ,by DIR.
Baker that 4 haw showed no signs of
paranoi during the first three months
in Matteawan, he declared he could
not remember making such a state
ment but admitted that he might have
done 50. After detailing Thaw's life
at Mattcawan, Baker was asked; Did
you ever tell Thaw there was moth
ing the matter with his BRAIN
No. sir"
Did you ever say to him you did
not believe in souls?''
Il cannot remember"
Mr.. Morschauser tried to show that
Baker testified TO only such state
Enents and acts as tended to show
Thaw to be insane. Baker admitted
that at the former hearing that the
diagnosis of mania Oppressive insani-
" had never been established.
Asked whether or not he would GER
tify from his personal observation
outside the White episode that he
would say Thaw was insane. he said
that Thaw had shown bad judg-
ment, but he admitted that ne might
hesitate TO commit a prisoner to the
insane asylum.
MorSchauser was constantly baffled
by such answers as Il don't know :"
Il can't remember" etc. The witness
told Jerome that he had seen no
change in Thaw's mental condition
since the decision of he Pa:ghkeep-
sic hearing declaring him insane.
