GUARD is WOUNDED.
Shot at by Two Men Who Attempt to
Break Into Wireless Station.

Norfolk, Va, Mey 2S.-Frederick
ROUGH, guard on duty at the wire
less station at Virginia Beach, was
shot early Saturday by an unknown
person and slightly wounded in the
scalp. Captain Philip Andrews
chief Of staff to Admiral Mclean.
said that reports to him were to
the effect that the shots were fired
by two men when ordered to halt
as they attempted to break through
the wire netting that surrounded
the station.
A number of suspects have been
arrested and every train leaving
Virginia Beach since the shooting
was reported has been searched, but
it is not known that the guilty man
or men have been captured. Cap
tain Andrews stated that it is pos
sible that the men were merely
drunken tramps, but the theory that
they had designs on the wireless
station has not been dismissed.

a simnle method, which the CORES

an American.
at is giving away no secret,
the correspondent writes, "to say that
the method, which is reputed to ce
infallible, requires only little time
to come into full effort and wear the
German submarines out. 1t is mo-
del of simplicity. The press has been
liberal in it's announcement OF Mar
coni's device, but, while extending
encouragement to Marconi, it must
not be overlooked that the genius
.rhc perfected one of the most monu-
rental advances in maritime na''ga-
ton has devoted his unremitting con-
sidcration to the menace, and this
resourceful American, too, has work
ed toward the device along indepen-
dent lines"
Asserting that the British have
better submarines than the Germans,
the message continues:
."Only little time is needed Tor

outstrips the pirate professors and BY
method which is simplicity itself

ROBINSON CIRCUS
BORN 90 YEARS AGO

In 1924. Just ninety-three years ago,
John Robinson drove ont OF Utica, n
y. with the first travelling circus ever
organized in the United States. The
show was carried on five wagons.
Now il takes three trains of sixty cars
to transport the circus and the one
ring has given away to three rings,
two stages, an aerial enclaye and a
wide hippodrome racing track This
show, the Oldest and largest in the
country, is billed to visit Chickasha
"Wednesday, September 18th, and will
be under the personal direction of
John G Robinson. a grandson of the
founder
The history Of the Robinson family
is an interesting one. John, the First,
was picked out by his parents for the
ministry The young man did not like
the idea. He wanted TO be show
man and a Snowman ne became the
day he drove out Of Utica with his
five wagons He had Just been mar
ried and his wife drove one Of the
teams. 1T was her honeymoon trip
and it lasted two years. until the little
show reached Cincinnati, Ohio, then a
village, on the banks of the Ohio river.
Robinson liked the place and selected
II as permanent quarters. Land he
bought at that time for pasture for his
horses is stn In the Robinson family
and on a portion Of it is situated the
famous Robinson opera house And
III is directly across the street from
Cfncinnati's city hall
Year after year Robinson drove
away from Cincinnati with his show
and every year he increased it in size,
He possessed family Of growing sons
and they were speedily initiated into
the workings of the circus. When
war was declared the elder Robinson
enlisted In an Ohio regiment and his
sons continued the circus AT the
close Of the conflict Robinson gave a
percentage OF his daily receipts for
the rehabilitation Of southern school
houses and churches which had been
damaged during battles
The old man died In 1866 and his
place was taken by John f, Robinson,
his eldest son, who is now retired and
lives in Cincinnati. He is known in
the circus world as "The Governor.
This son discarded wagons as a means
of transportation and placed the cir
Gus on barges pulled by steamboats,
and played river towns for years. His
show was the first to use railroads for
transportation and the first to journey
to California and return the same year.
It was the first show TO use gas lights
and then electricity and the first 70

circus.
James A. Bailey, late manager and
owner of the Barnum and Bailey cir
Gus, worked as an agent. for Cover
nor Robinson The old show made
Dan Rice famous as a clown and pro
duced James Robinson, known years
ago as the champion bareback rider
OF the world
The Robinson circus has been first
in all arenlc innovations and this year
has forged ahead of all competitors
by using gas FOR cooking purposes.
The gas is generated daily in special
ly constructed machines

active service several years ago and
the directing power Of the monster
