 ate Displays.

All aboard for the land of porcorn, peanuts and saWdust! The Barnum X Bailey circus will be here today. -Four trains will bring the pictur- esque invaders; through densely crowded streets the morning street parade will measure it's gaudy, gilt tering passage; performances will be ill the afternoon and evening; mid night will witness the breaking of the white encampment and the de- parture to scenes anew.
 'The Greastest Show on Earth" comes from Russellville where it's exhibitions were given yesterday to delightful audiences, which tested the ! capacity of the biggest white top' the institution has ever carried. In popularity and in patronage the Barnum & Bailey circus is this sea- son making the best record of it's long and illustrious history.
 First to come to puffing halt early this morning will be the flying squadron as the first tions is known. The volunteer reception committee of juveniles and their elders will be there to bid it vociferous welcome. Magically it will hisgorge men and six-team horses and huge, wheeled burdens hooded under tarbaulines and the process ion to the show grounds will start. At the destination, geometric pat tern of iron laying-out pins will ap- pear to spring up simultaneously, with rag pennons of red and blue flutter- ing in the tops. Soon mammoth white cloths will rise like canvas backed Aladdin's palaces. True to the promise of it's Autographed glories the circus will be in our midst, rain or shine, for this day and date only"
 The street parade will move from the show grounds. at Seventeenth avenue and Alabama street, at ten o'clock. One feature that Will c/m- mand immediate astonished attention will be a superb array of twenty-five new chariots, tableau cars and floats. They are more generous, more costly and almost twice as large as any, thing ever seen before i'll any street pagenant given by circus. They were constructed from designs sup piled by the leading artists in Amer ica and Europe and adapted from some of the greatest works in sculp- ture from the masters, old and new, of that art in the worlds history. The wood carving is easily the finest that has ever been executed in Amer ica, and as an entirety it has never been excelled, if equalled, anywhere in the world. This carving was done in mammoth atelier and required the combined efforts for more than one year of some score of the very best leaders of the wood carving craft of this country.
 AS tHc DdIHuu ~ Ddllcy GredJeSC Show on Earth has, during it's career, exhibited on all five of the continents If the world, an, allegorical repro duction of four of the largest contin- ents is made in the parade, viz, Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The remaining continent, Australia, is represented in another float call ed, "The Two. Hemispheres." In ad- dition to these there are floats rep resenting the ideal tales and, dreams

.PSEUDO PRIEST \ POSED AS COUNT Spent Much Time in White Light District of New
 York
MURDER IN GERMANY
May Be Fixed to New York Prisoner. Grand Jury Will In-
 dict Him.

Ntw York, Sept. 1S.-More light was shed today on the kaleidoscopic criminal career of Hans Schmidt. self confessed murderer of Anna Aumul- Ter and his accomplice in counterfeit ing, Doctor" Ernest A. Muret.
 It appears that the pseudo priest in spend considerable time among the white light resorts where he was known as German count. He is said to have figured at many wine parties at which there were numerous young women as guests. Schmidt. however was never known to drink or smoke at any of these parties. One young woman to whom he was especially at tentve, was Helen Green. She is now in Chicago
 It was also learned that while stay ing at the boarding house of Mrs Manzer in West Twenty-fourth street, last January, Schmidt or Wan Dyke" as he called himself then, represent ed himself as salesman and was ac- companied by five-year-old boy. the latter he introduced as his son. He said he had just brought the boy over from New Jersey, but made no refer ence as to the boys mother. He left the boarding house at the end of two weeks, apparently because of annoy ance at the attention of a wealthy Cuban widow, who had become infat- 'uated with the pleasant hammered, sad-eyed salesman, who gave the Wo- men in the house the impression that he was oppressed by some great sor- row.
 A dispatch from Aschaffanburg Germany, Schmidt's home town, de- scribes the murder of Josephine Haas, which occurred ten years ago while Schmidt was still residing in the town, as very close parallel to the murder of Anna Aumuller. The body of Josephine Haas was found on Beuchelberg Heights, dismembered and cut into twenty-five pieces. He is to be questioned regarding his knowledge of this crime.
 v Inspector Faurot today sent copies of Schmidt's finger prints to Germany as the first step towards an investlga- tion of the theory of the church au- thorities that Schmidt may have op- tained the credentials of the real Father Schmidt, the latter probably being dead It is pointed out that II would be easy for a theological sultor to palm himself off as priest Wlth his knowledge of the details or a priests duties. Such an imposter op- erating in another country ana hls own might, it is declared, easily es- cape detection for several years, Just as Schmidt appears to have done.
 Schmidt was seized with an attack of nervousness today in his cell at the Tombs. His appetite has fled and an

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Representa tive Wingo of Arkansas demanded

Washington. Sept 1S-Representa- tive Wingo of Arkansas demanded a record vote on the so-called gold standard amendment to the currency bill. On a division I65 Democrats and Republicans voted for it and forty-five Democrats voted against it. The roll call, however, changed the vote to 29S in favor of the amendment to sixty nine against it. All those voting mo were Democrats The Progressives offered motion to recOmmit the bill to the committee with instructions to incorporate provision to prohibit in- terlocking directorates in national banks. It was defeated-206 to n.
 At End of First Stage.
 Washington, Sept 18.-The admin istration currency bill today reached the end of the first stage of it's exc cutive career in the House. The meas ure completed after efforts to amend will reach a final vote in the House today practically unchanged in it's es- sential provisions. Some House Democrats were inclined to look with disfavor at an amendment incorporat- ed in the measure last night at the suggestion of the banking committee. The amendment prepared by Repre- sentative Floss of Ohio included a statement that none of its provisions was calculated to repeal the law of 1900 prescribing the gold money standard or to disturb the parity of money.
 Few Minor Changes Made.
 Chairman Glass however, declared that the amendment only made clear the meaning of the bill as originally framed. A few minor amendments changing phrascology or designed to make clear possible antiquities in the bill were the only changes made in the consideration of hundreds of amendments offered by Republicans and Progressives.
 When passed by the House the bill will go to the Senate, where a lengthy consideration before the banking com. mittee awaits it. It will probably be some weeks before the measure is re- ported to the Stnate, where further debate is expected to delay it's final passage.
 William M. Berry of Philadelphia urged the Senate banking committed today not to empower the proposed federal reserve banking board to fix an arbitrary discount rate in the ad- ministration currency bill. Such g provision of law would give financial cliques practical control of the mo- ney market, he said.
 There must be actual competition | on both sides of the bank counter, said MT. Berry.

Una ole to Find One Instance Where Man Like Thaw
 Was Extradited
HARRY IS HOPEFUL
Says He Would Prefer Favorable De. cisiOn By Gov. Felker Than
 An Appeal.

Concord, N. H., Sept. 18.-Harry K. Thaw sat behind a great heap of newspapers at the breakfast table this morning reading Washington dis patches saying that if his case went to the United States supreme court years might pass before decision was handed down.
 We can wait" he said. "but hope Governor Felker will decide against my extradition at once, so that it will not be necessary to press our habeas corpus writ in the federal courts"
 Ten law clerks, retained by Thaw's counsel. were busy today looking up state and federal court rulings in the matter of extraditing person charg- ed with crime. yet held to be legally insane.
 "So far we have been unable to find any case where a person in Thaw's position was ever extradited," said one of the lawyers.
 The same statement in substance, was made by Federal Judge Aldrich at Littleton Tuesday in a discussion with William T. Jerome.
 Canadian End of the Case.
 Montreal, Sept. 1S.-Representative6 of the Dominion Immigration depart- ment responsible for the movement by which Canada got rid of Harry Thaw, appeared in court today to explain why they had disobeyed the court or der to produce the fugitive here last Monday The hearing resolved itself into discussion of the constitutions ality of the immigration act under which C. J. Doherty, minister of jus tice, acted when he ordered Thaw's summary deportation.
 Attorney M. K. Leflamme, repre- senting the Thaw family, questioned the right of the Canadian Parliament to pass a law suspending fundamen- tai feature of British law, namely, the Isador J. Kresel and Hiram c. Todd.
 Attorneys for the defense included D. Cady Herrick; Irving c. Vann, former judge of the Court of Appeals; Austin G. Fox, Harvey O. Hinman. Louis Marshall. and Roger P. Clark.
 Sulxer Was Not Present.
 The court had been in session one hour before the last member took his oath. The clerk then called the name of William Sulzer. He did not an- swer. Judge Herrick rose and an- nounced that in accordance with . notice filed when the court convened, Governor Sulzer desired to appear through counsel. This request wal granted by the presiding judge, who then appointed committee of three to draw up rules and methods of pro. cedure for the court.
 The court on motion of Senator Wagner adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow morning. All spectators re- mained in their seats while members of the court filed solemnly out of the chamber.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 1S.-Theo. E. Burton of Ohio opened today's session of the American Institute of Bank CTS, in}convention here. with speech on Currency Legislation" in which he attacked the Democratic currency bill pending in Congress. The sena- tor condemned the regional reserve banks proposed in the bill, but his criticism was aimed chiefly at the provision authorizing the federal re- serve board to control the issuance ot currency.

story will find their imaginations re-
spending TO the concrete expression
OF its atmosphere of RIGHTEOUSNESS

scenes of the Christian devotions.
and those who have not will have
much to learn and interest them in
the clear. elaborate and at times mag.
nincent scenes and the splendidly
acted. absorbing story set forth.
The scenes showing the burning OF
Rome are spectacular and magnii-
cent. while those OF the famous ban
quet, somewhat restricted. depict
with much conviction the wild. aban-
doned revels of the wine and passion
swept guests. But the greatest ef.
fects are shown in the amphitheatrs
scenes. which are marvels OF motion

tons being fed to the beast being
most moving in their realism.
