DESTROYED "DIGNIFIED'
BUST OF ROOSEVELT.
Sculptor Frazer Tells Why He
Made Him Look Strenuous"

NEW YORK, May10.-A bust of former
President Roosevelt, which, against his
n desire, makes him appear
strenuous instead of dignified, has been
finished by James e. Fraser in his
macdougal alley studio. just before
leaving for Africa, and while President
Mr.. Roosevelt posed at the White
House for Fraser in an attitude that
might be called characteristic of the
head of a nation. This bust, as pro-
duced. satisfied Mr.. Roosevelt; but it
did not please the sculptor, who there
fore destroyed it.
Il attempted many times to get him
to let me depict him in this most ma
turar of his attitudes said the sculp-
tor. But he would have none of it.
He seemed to want to go down to pos
terity as a dignified and conservative
Official. Try as he would, however, he
never successfully remained in the de-
sired pose enough consecutive minutes
to permit me to get a permanent inn
preston. However / completed the
BUST and he liked it. But l was not
satisfied and destroyed it, making this
one from memory.H

HAS A MAN
STRONGER THAN SAMSON.
Giant to Appear in Cir
. Gus Here.

From Berlin, Germany, comes a man,
Arthur Saxon by name, who declares
he is stronger than Samson, Saxon
admits he never pulled a temple down,
but he can lie on his back and with
his feet support a plank upon which
stand twelve men while with his hands
anu arms he supports two other men
and a pair OF 5~J0-pound dumbbells.
Saxon is one OF a trio OF brothers
who amazed all Europe last winter by
a series of exhibitions they gave in
the various capitals. Two of them
form the pillars of a bridge over which
passes an automobile with eight pass
engers. An agent Of Ringing Broth
ers Circus who saw the act in Berlin
season one of the sensational numbers
with the big circus which is to exhibit
here on Friday, May q.
Another of the big features is Robli-
dello, the Mexican wire wizard. The
most difficult feat ever performed by a
wire walker in America in the past is
too trivial for Roblidello to bother with.
He actually falls down on the wire,
dances, stands on his head and stag
gers oyer the slender cord in imitation
of a belated clubman who has dined
too well.
The wonderful Schumann stations
are another of Ringing Brothers inn
portations. These animals walk on
rolling barrels, actually drink out Of
glasses, lifting them without any as
sistance. 1t may be said after seeing
this wonderful act that never before
were trained horses seen in America. as
nothing in this line has ver been done
that can approach this act.
For a climax the Ringing Brothers
this season end their program with a
double s-omersaulting automobile, which
breaks the record of all death-inviting
thrillers. The act consists of a double
somersault turned in mid-air by an
automobile which plunges from a steep
incline into space. The act Is per-
formed by a young French girl.
Ringing Brothers Circus supports it's
own postofice and has it's own post
master in the person of "a clown who
speaks seven languages. A 1inguist is
required for the place, as over twenty
nations are represented in the make
up of this years body Of performers.
