HAPPY CHILDREN Cheer
CLOWNS and ELEPHANTS
Madison Square Garden Full
Of 'em

New York, April 81 would ra-
Their have been the man who did all
this for a lot of little children than
anybody who ever became a second
term president of the United States"
This was the remark of a man with
gray beard and high silk hat as
he walked out of Madison Square
Garden yesterday, where the owners
of the Barnum & Bailey circus were
entertaining nearly five thousand lit
tie children, many of them orphans,
and all from institutions.
In response to an invitation from the
Ringing Bros, owners of the Bar
mum & Bailey show, about thirty in
situations sent their little children
to the garden They came by sub
way, big sightseeing automobiles,
buses and som eby their own convey
ances.
At the door the children were met
by the managers of the circus and 20
each detachment was assigned a man
to take them around the menagerie
before they went to their seats in the
arena. Never before did elephants
get such a feeding, and the mann
moths must have thought the whole
of Lilliput was out.
Among the first to arrive upon the
hippodrome track were the boys from
the New York Catholic Protectory
They were headed by their own band
under the direction of Bandmaster J.,
NJ. Ryan, and they came into the
garden with martial air. A little
later the drum and fife corps of the
Mission of the Immaculate Virgin
came in, followed by the inmates, and
they were seated near the Protectory
band.
With all the little people present it
was especially elephant and clown
afternoon. Harry Booney had his big
bulls" do more stunts than ever,
and the way they entertained down
in the basement as the avalanche of
youngsters passed by was more than
Jungle like. In the clown room a lot
of new and particularly "kiddie" stuff
was arranged and when it came of
the garden could never have echoed
with more gleeful laughter.
Police reserves were front and back
of the garden to look after the safety
of all the little folks who went home
feeling that after seeing the circus it
was better to be like Peter Pan and
never grow up. land there were some
older folk that thought the same.

DEMOCRATIC VOICES
NOT STRONG enough
No Clerk Out of Seventeen
Applicants

Washington, April 15.-The house
employs two reading clerks at $4,000
year each. Seventeen democrats
have applied for the places, which
require unusual physical endowments
and a knowledge of parliamentary
custom. All of the voices tested 50
far lack strength, carrying quality and
clearness.
Five new men were tried out today
during the regular proceedings of the
house, but all failed to come up to
the standard of E j. Lampson, CT
Ohio, and Dennis E. Award, republic
cans, who have held the places more
than fifteen years.
Minority Leader Mann, who occu-
pies a seat about the middle of the
house, complained of not being able 10
hear what one aspirant said, and 50
confused him that he could not re-
gain his composure or voice and had
to retire in disorder.

BROOKLYN WOMAN AT
HOME In CHOIR
Filled Speakers Seat With
Dignity

Washington, April 15-'@The house
will now come to order!" said a per-
emptory voice from the speaker
chair this morning, as Speaker Champ
Clark passed through the corridor to
his room this morning The command
for order was accompanied by the
fall of the gavel.
That's funny" said Mr.. Clark, the
pages must be having a mock session.
I'll just peep in"
The speaker was struck speechless
when ON entering a side door he saw
about one hundred and fifty women oc-
cupying seats of members.
The house came to order at the COM
mand of Miss Anna Williams, a
Brooklyn school teacher, who seemed
as much at ease as she would have
been in her own classroom The wo-
men were Brooklyn excursionists who
have been here two or three days see
ing Washington.
Miss Williams held the place Of
honor for a few moments only. Her
sister pedagogues were anxious to
replace her, and she gave way in their
favor. About half dozen teachers
swung the gayel in quick succession.
On passing out Mr.. Clark remarked:
ut looks to me as if We are overtak-
en- by suffragettes."

.TEOJPS BURN A TOWN.
Massacre All the Inhabitants Unable
to Escape.

Cape Haitien, Haiti. Feb. 2O.-Gov-
Ouanaminth from the rebels, got out
of control of their officers, pillaged. and
burned the town and maSsacred those
of the inhabitants who were unable to
escape.
Jean Prospect, citizen of France,
was assaulted, his 1S-year-old son
killed and their home burned.
The insurgents had captured Fort
Liberty and Ouanaminth. President
Simon set out for the disaffected ter
ritory at the head of five columns of
troops. He was accompanied by his
daughter, Celestina. The army occu-
pied Fort Liberty without a shot hav-
ing been fred Nevertheless the large
number of arrests of those suspected
of treachery to the government were
made and the suspects shot to death.
The army then moved on to Ouana-
ninth. The rebels, in possession of
the town offered resistance and SAN
culinary fighting followed. The re-
bells were soon beaten back but the Of
ficers could not stop the advance of
their men. The soldiers got out of
hand and the massacre that followed
was horrible. The inhabitants who
had not fed were killed and the town
burned.
Meantime another force under min
lister of the interior, Jeremie, captured
the town of Valerie to the south of
Ouanaminth and it is expected this
will be burned.
The killing of a Frenchman by the
soldiers may result in complications
with France.

PAPERS FILE ANSWERS.
Globe and Times Didn't Intend to
Injure Mrs. Thomas.

Ed Howe, former editor of the
Atchison Globe and the Globe Pub
fishing company of Atchfson. has filed
in the United States circuit court
through Clerk Sharit an answer to
the $4,000 libel suit of Agnes Boss
Thomas of Kansas City. who claimed
that Editor Howe had ruined her
reputation through his paper.
Agnes Boss Thomas was alluded to
in the newspapers as Checkers,
given her because it was claimed that
she wore black and white checkered
stockings and exhibited them to the
gaze of a number of men and women
al a little party in Kansas City.
The Atchison Globe and LeaVen-
worth Times both commented on the
event after it had been made public
through the court records As re-
suit Mrs. Thomas sued them for 500
900 each.
In his answer today Ed Howe says
he was giving an item of news to the
people and had no intention of de-
stroying the character or questioning
the chastity of Mrs. Thomas. He says
he got his information from court
records and he quoted from these rec
ords. evidence that told If Mrs

SHE KEPT THE MONEY.
Mrs. Cropsy- Wouldn't Divide With
Husband and Is Beaten.

The Sunday comic supplement of
the police record shows a woman bad
ly beaten up and bloody, another
woman in the consolation role and an
ing man down the street and into a
blue house.
The principals were Gerry Cropsy,
James Cropsy and Nora Olson. The
plot as revealed in the police court
this morning: 1t seems that Jim
Cropsy, who lives with the two women
at 1906 East Eighth avenue, woke up
some time after noon and asked
"Gerty" what time she had gotten in
the night before. She didn't low that
was much of his business SO long as he
had sent her out. Then the converse
ton drifted, it seems, to money mat
tiers. He wanted some money to carry
up town and she would not disgorge.
Then war broke out. and beer bot
ties, both full and empty. were rushed
into action. There seems to have been
little regard as to how much was
spilled. After a reasonable length of
time neighbors were attracted to the
small house. Fleeing forms passed in
review before the windows and reap
peared. Articles of furniture and bed
clothing were whirling around inside
the house and an occasional beer bot
tie crashed through a window and
pumped into the snow.
Then: just like the motion picture
machine men would have it. Jim
Cropsy dived out the front door. A
blood besmeared women ran out onto
the walk while the crowd took up the
chase of the man.
Judge Urmy fined Mrs. Cropsy $50,
Cropsy $25 and the Olson girl $25 this
morning. A four-year-old daughter of
the pair was confiscated and sent to
the orphans home So r. sa&

A new CLUB HOME
TOpeka's Commercial OrganiZa-
tiOn Nay Erect One.
Members Think Building Is
Question OF Near Future.

II the ideas of some of the members
of the organization are carried out
Topeka will have an up-tO-date COM
mercial club building at some date not
far distant. No official action has
been taken by the club regarding
such a club home. and in fact it has
not as vet come before the club as a
whole. Some of the enthusiastic MEM
bers, however, are of the opinion that
the Topeka Commercial club should
have spacious and well equipped quar-
tiers, and it is probable that the prop
osition will be presented for the con-
sideration of the club at the next reg
ular meeting.
As suggested the building would
have a spacious parlor where the men
could gather at the noon hour, and
where meetings of the club, affiliated
associations, and other organizations
could be held. Then there would be
a number of rooms where committee
and private meetings could be held,
aside from a large cafe room. Ar
rangements for pool and billiards
would not be left out in making the
plans, and it is possible that bowling
would be included.
The club at the present time is pay
ing rent for the quarters in the Com
merce building which eats up no small
per cent of the money at the disposal
of the institution. 1t is pointed out
that were the organization to win
out in a campaign for a new home this
item of expenditure would be done
away with.
Then another argument in favor OF
the plan is the advertisement that 1t
would be to the city to possess such a
building. It would certainly be an in
dication that Topeka has a live COM
m orciaI Orga OiZafiOQ.
