RINGING SHOW
AT KANSAS CITY
City Passes an Ordinance but
This Does Not Prevent the Ex-
hibtion on Labor Day

I
Two items in the Kansas City Star
are self-explanatory. The one of
August 81 says:
The Ringing Brothers and Balmun
& Bailey's circus will give the two
performances Monday as advertised,
according to John NJ Kelley. attor-
ney for the circus, who is stopping AZ
the Hotel Baltimore The circus also
will give performance tonight.
There will be no parades, because the
management dislikes to interfere
with the Labor day celebration, Mr..
Kelley said.
'sThe ordinance recently passed by
the council prohibiting circus per-
formances on Labor day is very I'M
fair" Mr.. Kelley said ut singles out
nothing but circuses and places no
restrictions on baseball, theaters,
motion picture shows, aquatic sports
or any other form of public enter
tainment. Not only that but
it conflicts with contracts already en-
tered into between the management
of the circus and the city contracts
made before the ordinance was pass
ed The circus has alreday made its
advance contracts for the Kansas
City show has done all its advertis-
ing and it is obligated to the geera1
public to give the performances adj
vertised, and they will be given"
The ordinance passed by the city
council week ago Monday night pro-
hibits circuses ann menageries from
giving performances or parades in
the city on Christmas, Labor Day
and the Fourth of July.
Col E. M. Harder, city counselor,
yesterday told a delegation of labor
men that the new ordinance would be
enforced. A license to show Monday
was refused the circus
Show Is Given
Law books and briefs were piled
high and everything was in readiness
in the South Side court today for the
trial of M. J. Keefee, manager of
Ringlling Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey's circus, charged with exhibit
ing on Labor Day in violation of
city ordinance.
The bailiff called Mr.. Keefe loud
ly, but there was no response 1t
was suggested Mr. Keefe probably
was in ST. Joseph, where the circus
was exhibiting.
Gentlemen" Judge Edward j.
Fleming addressed policemen and re-
representatives. Of the city counselor's
office, "Mr. Keefe's bond is forfeited.
The circus manager had deposited
$202 for his appearance for trial fol
lowing his arrest on two charges, one
for exhibiting in the afternoon and
the other at night, in violation of the
ordinances. The city had made every
preparation to test the validity of the
ordinance.
The circus paid $500 for license
to exhibit Sunday, but was denied a
licenses for Monday Labor day, be
cause of the ordinance. A license
for the second days exhibition would
have cost only 500 additional had it
been issued.
The ordinance provides fine of
from 81 to $500. If Keefe had been
present and found guilty on two
counts, the maximum fine of $1,000
could have been assessed.
John M. Kelley, attorney for the
circus, said he was present at the
time the case was called but did not
enter an appearance for his client,
stating he did not desire to test the
validity of the measure for a number
Of reasons, principal among them he
