into his own once again. After sew
eral years of retirement, tle odds and
ends of human life are again a fea-
ture attraction of the Barnum & Bailey
curcus this season, and one of the
greatest gatherings of human curiosi-
ties ever assembled will come to Sa-
lem with the circus on Saturday, Sep
tember o.
Since the passing of the "dime mu-
seums' and the retirement of the
freaks from circus life. these strange
people have mostly gathered in little
colonies of their own, in the suburbs
of Philadelphia and New York, and
lived secluded lives. Most of the old
timers are wealthy and own their own
homes, but, like all other members of
the sawdust world, they long for the
free, happy life of the circus, and they
are prone to be extremely sensitive to
their misfortunes, wnen left to their
own resources. Seldom, if ever, is a
freak to be seen in public when not
on exhibition, and this explains the
secluded little colonies where most of
them have lived during the past few
years.
So many demands have been made ON
the management of the Barnum 4 Bal
lay circus by the public for the return
of the freaks tnat an effort has been
made this season TO revive the old time
freak congress that was once a stellar
attraction with the big shows. OF
course, even of late years, there have
always been few curiosities of this
nature in the side shows, but this sea
son all the good old timers will be on
the job, as well as host of new ones
that nave sprung up.
The giants, the human skeletons, the
missing links, the bearded women, the
fat women, the midgets, the albinos,
the tattooed wonders, the wild men,
the strong men, the smileless men, the
three legged youths, in fact all tle
strange and curious population of hui
man whatnOts in America and abroad
will appear in the forum of freaks with
the Barnum 4 Bailey circus this season.
Many of the old timers, who amazed
our grandfathers, will once more be ON
exhibition.
The Barnum & Bailey circus will
come here on 80 ears, carrying more
than l,400 people in its various de-

AUSTRIA WILL NOT
QUIT PENNSYLVANIA
Have Abandoned Some Points
to Straighten and Strength
en- Lines

By Carl w. Ackerman.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Berlin, Sept. despite statements
appearing in the Austrian press, the
Teutonic forces have no intention of
evacuating the largest part of Transyl-
vania, the United Press was informed
this afternoon.
The plan of campaign contemplates
the evacuation of only q few places.
From several of these the Austrians al
ready have retired. The withdrawal in
each instance was part of a plan
agreed upon many months ago and was
simply for the purpose of Strengthening
and shortening the line.
Vienna dispatches regarding the char
acter of the early fighting in Transyl-
vania have increased the public conf
dence in the ultimate success of the
Austro-Germans in this new war thea
tire. 1t is stated that whenever the
Austrians made stand they repelled
superior Rumanian forces with compar.
ative ease.
Similarly on the Greek front the Bull
gars have had little trouble repelling
Serbian advances. The war office today
announced that Serbian attacks in the
region of Ceganska Planina and Mog
lena broke down.

Gas Pressure Low
and Company Asks
/. Users to Economic

Due to the combination of sudden
failure of one of the gas generators at
the Salem gas plant and an unusually
large quantity OF gas being used for
canning fruit, the consumption of gas
has exceeded the amount generated dur
ing the past 4S hours. AS result, the
supply on hand in the storage tanks
or holders is very low and this natural
ly causes the pressure TO be low.
The gas company hopes to be able to
make enough gas to at least equal the
demand until the heavy demand for gas
is passed and the generators brought
back to normal
1t is possible that this cannot be done
and as a result the pressure will drop
almost to zero. Therefore, if the gas
users who can use other means for heat
ing will do so for a few days, those
who have no other means will be able to
get enough gas to get along with until
the crisis is passed.
The gas company requests that those
who can, do not use gas in this emerg-
ency. The gas company will announce
through the columns of this paper when
conditions are normal again.
The company ordered an additional
generator several months ago that will
increase the capacity at least one.half
but it has been delayed in shipment
due to congested freight conditions. Ii
is in transit and one car load of the
machinery has already been received.

Refused to Comment.

A. B. Garretson, spokesman for the
brotherhoods, refused to comemnt upon
this amendment.
Garretson and other leaders confer
red with congress leaders this after
noon. President Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor was making
feverish efforts to get in touch with
Garretson and the other brotherhood
men. One group of the railroad men
locked themselves in the house ways
and means committee room and the door
keeper, brotherhood man, denied that
any one was present.
Later it was learned that the broth
erhood chiefs had informed their con-
fidants in congress that they were op-
posed to the amendment, but would ac-
cept it if forced to DO so.
One paragraph in the senate bill
which labor advocates fear will be Bit
terly opposed by the brotherhoods says:
"Any person who shall willfully de-
lay, obstruct or hinder operation of
trains shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and punished by a fine not exceeding
$4,000 and Imprisonment not exceeding
one year, or both"

During spirited argument between
Chairman Adamson and Representative
Denhison, Illinois, the latter urged
amendment to the bill to provide an
eight hour law for all employees en-

senate will put through will be the
same as the Adamson (house) bill.
When the latter measure comes up in
the senate late today it may be sub

event, senate leaders said, the com
pleted bill should reach the president
before tomorrow afternoon.
"The bill will get through the senate
tonight, " said Senator Newlands,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, in charge of it.
The statement of senate republican
leaders this afternoon that they will
not seek to obstruct the legislation in
creased confidence of the administers
ton men in the senate that the strike
crisis is as good as ended.
Following adjournment of the re-
publican senate conference, it was an

a substitute resolution to include pro-
vision for compulsory arbitration.
Some of the members who attended
said there would be no attempt to fill
buster against the committee s bill
but that strong effort would be made
to get the arbitration provision in.
However, they said, they did not
think it would be prevented from COM
ing to vote on schedule time.
Report Bill Favorably.
The interstate commerce committee
reported the senate bill favorably at
2:3O and unanimous consent to proceed
with it was granted.
The senate bill, like that of the
house sets January for the proposed

tric interurban railways from its pro-

Daniels, q negro, arrested and accused
of attacking Mrs. John Baber, age "a,
wife of a farmer living three miles
from here, dispersed today when news
was received here that their quarry had

Crime Most Atrocious.


Lima, Ohio, Aug 31.-A dozen posses
of enraged farmers continued to search
the countryside here today bent on Sc
curing and lynehing Charles Daniels,
a negro, who brutally attacked Mrs.
John Baber, aged "a, white woman,
when she refused him food.
The negro has been jailed "some-
where in northwestern Ohio" but at
an early hour today the frenzied mob
had not discovered his location.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Sherman Eley, of
Allen county, lies in an Ottawa hospital
with two broken ribs, broken arm
and q dozen cuts. He was manhandled
by the mob when he refused at first
to reveal the hiding place of the negro.
Only after being threatened with lynch
ing did he tell the frantic farmers the
negro was in the Putnam county Jail at
Ottawa.
Despite his injuries, the bruised and
bleeding sheriff was dragged into an
automobile and rushed to Ottawa where
it was learned the hunted negro had
again been spirited away.
Shortly before the lynching party ar
rived at the Ottawa Jail closed auto
mobile whzzed from the rear of the
building. 1t is believed the negro was
one of the two huddled figures in the
machine and that he was taken to an
other jail in nearby county.
Mrs. Baber who expects visit from
the stork soon, was attacked by the
negro in the kitchen of her home while
she was alone yesterday morning. When
she refused the negro 3 demand for
something to eat he slashed her throat
with razor and beat her over the head.
One of her eyes was gouged out. 1t is
