Be MOTORIZED

PERU, Ind, Jan. lowing to re-
cent developments In connection with
government control OF the railroads,
the proprietors of the John Robinson
shows, of this city, and other big cir
cuses of the country, are uneasy over
the probability Of not being able to
take the road the coming season.
When the various big shows closed for
the season last fall, and also since
that time, the circus managers have
been officially advised by the railway
transportation department that they
could not guarantee transportation for
the coming season.
Among the big shows affected are
the John Robinson, the Hagenbeck
Wallace, the Ringing Bros. and the
Barnum & Bailey, in particular, on &C
count of their size, while the smaller
railroad shows will be affected in pro
portion. but it may be that they will
resort to the wagon route.
The managers of the Robinson
shows say that If the big circuses are
unable to take the road in the spring
it will result in losses of many thou
sands of dollars to the owners. They
are expanding now large sums of
money wintering their stock and
otherwise making preparations for the
coming season. AS a last resort it is
said it would be deemed adviable to
