Morrison Says Commission
Never Violates Faith IN

Recent statements to the effect
that the Civil Service Commission
sometimes makes appointments from

such was the denunciation by
Martin A. Morrison, president Of the

ditorium of the Interior Department
Building. Eighteenth and e streets

dressed the gathering on the re-

No power in Christie ndom," said
Mr.. Morrison, ''can prevail upon
one of the Commissioners to ap-
point a person out of his or her
rightful turn. The appointments

mony today, it was learned that it
will undertake to prove that Tur-
ner asked for the dollar as hush
money. and that he had no intention
of robbing either Moore or the girl
when he approached the car.
1t will be contended that instead
of robbing her of the rings and
watch she practically thrust these
articles upon him as he turned to
leave the scene.

The negro's counsel, it was
learned further, will endeavor to
establish that not until after
Moore fired upon him from the rear
did he turn and fire the fatal shot
from the big Colt revolver which
was found on him when he was ar
rested several hours later. The fact
that one of the bullets from Moore's
22-caliber pistol struck Turner In
the rear part of the left thigh will
be cited as evidence that he had
his back turned when the ball was
fired. The other bullet which struck
him pierced one of his thumbs.
Harry M. Smith, jr, principal at
torney for Turner, made an ineffec-
tual effort to wiring an admission
from Jailer G. o. Kines, of Airing
ton County, that Turnag was put
through the third degree by being
suspended from a bar in his cell
by the arms, while handcuffed, and
was told he would be-. kept sus-
pended until he confessed. Kines
insisted that no third degree meth
DDS were used.
Indictments charging Turner with
assaulting Miss Clark and also with
robbing her are being held in abey-
ance. The government had not con-
cluded its testimony when adjourn
ment was. taken until tomorrow.

of each one of those elections have

Dr. Grayson asserted that the Presi- dent has so far recovered from his re- cent illness that he is physically able to make such a trip, but added, "1 have made no reconm en ndation- for 8 sea voyage and I have not heard the President make any such suggestion himself.'
 While it is understood that no trip is contemplated at this time, the May flower, which has been undergoing a complete overhauling for several months, is now ready for any voyage she might be called on to undertake and it is said that President and Mrs Wilson may shortly resume the week end trips down the Potomac River and Chesa peake Bay which were fre- quently taken before MT.

 GREAT TALES

Throughout the realm of spang1es there is none who can tell as won derful stories as Al Miaeo, dean of all the clowns in circusdom.
 During the more than 60 years that he has devoted to making young sters and grown-ups happy with his art as a pantomimist he has had many adventures. Often of an after noon, when ho and other performers matn-eent of Ringing Brothers and Barnum e Bailey Combined shewss sosnooae will ask him to tell of the
 days gone by. Miaco likes best of all to tell his stories to the younger per formers. He is especially fond of re-
 citing adventures experienced with
 the old Dan Rice show when that
 historic institution was famous uc and down the Mississippi River a half
 century ago.
 Miaco is now s1 years old. Yet
 he is as agile as any of the army
 clowns that make merry on the hip
 podrome track of the great super
 circus that is coming here next Mon
 day. He can turn a 'flip-flap" with the youngest of them. Bright of eye, erect in carriage, and quick of wit and gesture, he is indeed the daddy of them all." Supreme in the art of
 pantomime he this season plays an important part in the. great new pageant. He heads the long list of artists who have been engaged to portray the principle characters in the fairy1and and nursery-ta1e group l ings that are distributed at inter | vals in the processicnals. The big I pantomimic panorama is the opening feature of the main-tent program l It is followed by almost three hours of arenic novelties and sensations Many displays of animal actors in- cluding a quarter of million | pound" elephant act and scores of superb horses supplement the men and women stars. The gigantic pro- gram is the result of merging the | finest features of Americas two most | famous circuses and adding many l acts entirely new to this country.
