CIRCUS WILL
SHOW TODAY
Frank A. Robbins Tents al
Wonderland Beach.

Frank A. Robbins "greatest show
on earth'' appears here this afternoon
and night on the Wonderland Beach
c%ompany's property, foot of First
street. The afternoon show starts at
.2:30 and the evening performance at
eight o'clock.
This is the show s thirty-frst annual
tour and as usual gives Perth Amboy
the benefit of an exhibition. 1t has APP
peared here, regularly, since 1889.
Quality, not quantity is the slogan
and those who have seen the exhibi-
tion in years gone by will agree that
the management has lived up tc its
maxim.
This year several new features have
been added. Hillary Long, the world s
greatest head balancer, will walk down
a flight of stairs on his head, for the
benefit of all. Another startling fea-
ture is the four Hoeums, a family of
high wire artists unusually clever.
Jimmy Burns is another wire walker Of
ability, but he does his tricks on stills
and a bicycle, making the turn one
Of the hardest known. The menagerie
is good.
This noon, the big parade, led by
three bands and forty mounted people,
passed through the principal streets of
the city, between banks Of school chill
dren and men and women-it must be
admitted. Several funny clowns were
seen in the parade.
1t is easy to get out to the grounds.
They are south of Paterson street and
west of the Central railroad station.

ing providing for an inspector Of build
ings. 1t is provided that the incum-
bent must be an architect, carpenter
mason OF some other such mechanic. His
duties shall be to enforce the city
building ordinances. He viii keep a
record of all applications for permits to
build and will also keep plans of the
proposed structures on file.
Part Of the building inspectors du-

NOT MRS. TURNER'S SLAYER.
Negro Held by Lakewood Prosecutor
Believed to Be Innocent.

Negro Held by Lakewood Prosecutor
Believed to Be Innocent.
Lakewood, N. j., May 2.-~Prosecutor
T.. J. r. Brown and his detectives,
who are working on the mystery sur
rounding the murder of Mrs. Charles
Turner here last week, have been fol
lowing up clews with little success.
They have questioned Henry Graham,
the negro suspect who was arrested
Saturday, but 1t Is said that Graham,
aside from telling a few more conflict
ING stories, has made no admissions
that are Of value to tie officials.
The belief Is growing that Graham
is no longer thought to have had any
part In the crime. Because of his not
being bright and having been under
the influence Of liquor on Wednesday,
when 1t is thought the crime Is COM
mitted, the theory Is now that he fol-
loYed Mrs, Turner through the path
in the woods and either came upon the
person or persons who murdered her
In the act or Just after 1t had been
committed. The impression is that he
has been frightened by threats not to
tell all that he knows.
Two men are still under ~surveil-
lance, and 1t Is possible that an arrest
will be made late today.
