1t is hopeless to try to tell it all
the glories of the Barnum & Bailey
circus. The gathering advance repre-
sentatives confessed their inability

In literally re-creating the famous in

familiar catch line, Greatest Show
on Earth" will be lived up to far and
away more generously than in any
year the circus has made appearance
here.
Novelty will be the keynote of the
entertainment, the best elements of
the dear, old-time circus mingling
with the newest things in gorgeous
spectacles. Monotony and repetition
have been eliminated. Old-timers will
rub their eyes in establishment.
Eighty-five double length railroad
cars are required to transport the
Barnum & Bailey circus. They are
operated in four train sections and
the Rock Island railroad gives assur
ance that it will have them all here
early tomorrow morning. The first
section, known in the language of the
circus as the flying squadron" was
scheduled to leave La Sale, where
the show played to packed tents TO
day, before midnight. The dining
tents which it conveys will inauguratt
the 20-acre encampment and fooc

minutes to completely unnerve the here

her eyes, Mrs. Tingley sprang to her
feet. faced the judge and jury, and
said: Il want to say to the judge and

lying and falsifying."
Before she could proceed further her
attorneys had literally dragged her to
her seat. Mrs. Dixon had testified to a
conversation Mrs. Tingley is alleged to
have had with Mrs. Ethelind Dunn, In
which Mrs Tingley is alleged to have
said, Come here, Ethelind, dear, want

MEYER ARRAIGNS
FOES OF Big navy
Says Democrats Better Abolish
Useless Yards Than to
Cut Program

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-Abandon-
ment of the program for two battle
ships this year brought out a state
ment from Secretary of the Navy Meyer
today He arraigned the action of the
democratic caucus as giving another
illustration of government by snap
Judgment"
Meyer asserted that the Monroe doc
trine is as big as the navy and no big
ger" and that the United States. guar
anteeing the neutrality of the Panama
canal. must be prepared TO make good
its pledge.
Even with continuous program of
two battIeships year." said Secretary
Never. the United States viii fall a
little behind its present effective
strength for the reason that IN another
year four of our battIeships built dur
ing the same period will become nom
effective.
The dreadnought type is the war
ship of the present day. One dread
nought built by a foreign power in
excess of the number built by our
selves is equivalent to wiping off our
list at one stroke the Indiana, Massa-
chusetts. Oregon, Iowa, Kearsarge and
Kentucky.
England, the statement declares, has
authorized for the coming year FIVE
dreadnoughts and Germany three and
one armored cruiser. Japan is said to
have authorized five ships of the latest
dreadnought type and 79,000.00e for
new construction between 1911 and
1917. The secretary asserts that the
democrats might have brought about
economy if they had had the courage
to abolish needless navy yards, which
are costing the government several
million dollars a year for maintenance
alone
"A navy for the nation and not for
local interests is what should be
sought" the statement concludes.

MARTINEZ, Jan. 30.-In a quarrel
between two brothers. Salvatore Co.'S

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.--The New YorF
Evening Post has sought. for the sake
of justice to all concerned. to secure the
publication of the correspondence be-
tween Governor Wilson and Colone
Harvey In that sense 1t applied te
them both. Neither wished to be put ir
the position of giving out private let
ters, but both have assented to the pub
lication with the distinct understanding
that the initiative came from the Even
ing Post.
The first letter addressed to colane
Harvey by Governor Wilson is:
University Club.
Fifth av. and Fifty-fourth ST.,
December 81. 1911.
Personal.
Ny Dear Colonel: Every day /
ON confirmed in the Judgment that
my mind is a one track road and
can run only one train of thought
at a time. A long time after that
interview with you and Marse
Henry at the Manhattan club it
came over me that when CA the
me that question about the Weekly,
answered it simply as a matter of
fact and of business, and said never
word of my sincere gratitude to
you for all your generous support
or of my hope that it might be con-
tinued Forgive me and forget my
manners. Faithfully yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
HARvEY'S ANSWER
In answer, Colonel Harvey wrote tc
Wilson:
MY dear Governor Wilson: Re-
plying to your note from the Uni
versity club, I think 1t should go
without saying that no purely per-
sonal issue could arise between
you and me- Whatever anybody
also may surmise, you surely must
know that in trying to arouse and
further your political aspirations
during the last few years T have
beens actuated solely by the belief
that | was rendering distinct pub
lie service.
The real point at the time of our
interview was. as you aptly put It,
one simply "of fact and of busi
ness" and when you stated the
fact to be that my support was
hurting your candidacy and that
you were experiencing difficulty in
finding a way to counteract It's
harmful effect, the only thing pos
sible for me to do, in simple fair
ness to you. no less than in consid-
Grafton of my own self-respect, was
to.relieve you Of your embarrass-
ment, so far as 1T lay within my
power to do so, by ceasing to adj
voeate your nomination.
That. I think, was fully under
stood between us at the time and,
acting accordingly, took down
your name from the head of the
Weekly's editorial page some days
before your letter was written.
That seems to be all that there is
to It,
Whatever little hurt I may have
felt as a consequence of the unex-
pected peremptoriness of your at
titude toward me is. of course,
wholly eliminated by your gracious
words. Very truly yours,
