 CIRCUS PHOT0P[Ay
Strand Offers Unusual Film Bill, Fatty Arbuckle Be-
 ing Included

The Strand Theatre announces big
 photoplay attraction for today in the
 thrilling story of circus life, Under the Top acclaimed a masterpiece of its
 kind It is freely predicted that the thea tre will not be nearly large enough to allow all the eager ones to see this pro- duction.
 In speaking of the famous acrobat in the picture the New York Herald said; "To see him pursued across circus lot while a performance is going on was funnier than any of his feats. He was clown, trapeze performer, bareback rider and pole climber and his escape up the center pole onto the big top and down I from such dizzy heights was accom- plshed at aviation speed Later he was ! run over by an automobile, but recov- l cred soon after reaching the hospital He astonished the other patients by using | the mattresses on the cots as spring l board and leaping across the ward from l bed to bed, finally diving out of the i To- story window from the last bed.

INVESTIGATION OF WRECK IS ENDED
By Associated Press

Syracuse. N Y, January 15.-With the exception of a careful inspection of the automatic signal system at South Byron tomorrow by officials of the interstate commerce commission, the inquiry by federal, state and rail- road administration representatives into the disaster there on Sunday morning when 22 persons were killed ended today without decision as to the responsibility for the wreck.
 John Friedley engineman on the Southwestern Limited, which crashed into the stopped second section of the Wolverine, reiterated today that the block signals as he approached South Byron were green. indicating that the track was clear.
 Corroboration of the statements of Friedley was given by David Brill his fireman. who declared that Friedley called the signals as "clear," and that they were "clear."
 Although several railroad men who were at the scene of the disaster stated they had seen Thomas F.. Groves. flagman on the Wolverine, start back with his lanterns, none of them remembered having seen fusee burning before the Southwestern hit the Wolverine Clarence G. Babcock, flagman on the Southwestern, told of finding a five-minute fusee, half burned out some 15 or 20 car lengths back from the rear of his train.
 Frank J. Sprage, signal engineer, or New York, permitted by. the officials of interstate commerce commission to make a statement. declared the acci- dent emhasized what experts of the di- vision of safety of the commission have long advocated in their reports of accidents, that the wayside signal, no matter how good. does not give suf ficient protection to railroad opera ton. He advocated an automatic train control.
