The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-09-30

From the time the quarter of
million pound" elephant act is pre-
scented along the length of the great
hippodrome track, until the wonder
full riding dog, Toque, performs his
equestrian feats, there is scarcely a
moment when the great new Ring
ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
combined circus program is not en-
livened by remarkable animal ex-
hibition.
The elephant numbers are the most
unusual ever attempted in a circus
There are six distinct herds Of pom
derous actors. These are exhibited
as individual groups at first, but, at
the conclusion of the number, are
combined in one mammoth company
SO numerous that the entire length
of the hippodrome is required to
stage their gigantic Performance. Pic
ture a pyramid" made up of six
times as many elephants AS were
ever before used in a single group
ing and you will have some idea of
the immensely of the latest achieve
ment in animal subjugation. The in
creased size of the pachyderm acts
may, it is said, be taken as an index
by which to measure all numbers in
which dumb actors participate. In
place Of the usual two troupes of
seals, five will be exhibited. These
ride horses, play upon fourteen differ
ent musical instruments, engage in
basket ball contests and perform
feats of juggling which surpass hui
man attainments. There are fifteen
troupes of beautiful horses and know
ing ponies that perform without
brides or riders. There are others
that participate in remarkable statue
numbers.
Added to these are trick monkeys.

Famous Sheldon
Business School

The Sheldon school, world
known institution for the instruction
in business science. has under con-
sideration plans for moving its gem
eral headquarters from Chicago to
Memphis The school has branches
in about fifteen cities in the United
States and Canada, with more than
100000 students, located in almost
every country where the English Ian
guage is spoken.
The Business Philosopher" a
magazine published by the school at
Chicago for seventeen years, has been
transferred to Memphis, together
with the book department of the
school. The business and editorial
offices of the magazine will here
after be maintained here.

/ newspaper and magazine fields of
FIthis city, has been appointed man
aging editor of the Business Philos-
opher," and is in general charge of
the magazine and book, department.

In connection with the school work
there was established, several years
ago, the international Business Sci
ence Society" composed of students
OF the various courses and of men
and women interested in the science
of service. The Memphis chapter has
about 400 members. It was the en-
thusiastic reception given the work of
the school at Memphis and in the
South, it1is said, that induced DIR.
Sheldon to separate the magazine and
book department from the school, and
establish them here.

will be required soon. Progress is
reported in the, negotiations for the
removal of the Sheldon school to

LODGE ATTACKS
WILSON DEFENSE
OF ARTICLE TEN
Says Presidents References to
France and Italy Were Not
Justified.

WASHINGTON, March o.-Disous-
sion % President Wilson's letter to
Senator Hitchcock refusing a COM
prpmtse on the peace treaty broke
out in the Senate to-day soon after
it met. Senator Lodge opened the
debate.
At the same time, efforts to agree
on a compromise on the Article X
reservation continued. A new res
eryahon was agreed upon by Repub-
lican leaders, inOluding Lodge, and
was accepted by some Democrats
Whether enough Democrats win agree
10 1t Is not yet apparent. 1t will be
offered by the Republicans whether
they are assured of enough Demo-
cratic votes for Its adopiOn or not.
Elihu Root is credited with having
given impetus to this latest oOmpro-
mise move. He advised Senator Lodge
and other Republican leaders this
veeaS to do their utmost, by changing
phraseology of reservations, to win
over enough Democrats TO bring about
ratification.
Senator Lodge declared he thought
What the President said about
France was most unfortunate" He
quoted the portion of the letter in
Which President Wilson said THAI I'M
perialists and mllitarists are in con-
troll OF the French Government.
Il do not think that ought to be
said about France" continued Lodge.
Il think 1t unfounded:
'TFo condemn Italy or any other
countrY for a demand for a point that
Will add to her safety is unheard OF.
"Fhe issue can be veiled no longer.
The Presidents position iustifies the
stand we have taken that there must
be no obligation on the United States
70 carry out the provisions Of Article
X"
Senator Owen. a Democrat, who
has voted for many reservations, said
he refused to be party to the de-
feat of the treaty or to IT'S delay.
ITO keep the United States out OF
the league because Of the very small
differences between the President and
Senator Lodge, would be defeating a
very great end for very small one,'

instance he has gone altogether too
far in his defiance and insult Of the

ment He has become desperate for
very little reason and is exempllfylng
in his conduct the truth Of the old
pagan Rdage, "that whom the Gods

The Catholic Church has not and

SOCIALISTS FOES
SAY FINAL WORD
IN ALBANY TRIAL
Elon Brown Calls "People of
State" the Prosecution-Ac-
cused Ask Expenses.

ALBANY, March s.-"There should
be no one sitting in this Assembly
who is in hostility to the institutions
Of his country, who desires to occupy
a seat here for the purpose of under
mining and destroying constitutional
government" Elon r. Brown, former
Republican Leader of the State Sem
ate. declared to-day before tho As
semibly Judiciary Committee. Mr..
Brown was the last OF the prosecution
attorneys to sum up tho ease
against the Ave Socialist Assembly
men who have been ION trial" on
charges of disloyalty.
"The conduct Of this trial is itself
significant of the importance Of the
issues involved" said Mr.. Brown. ut
is a trial, but the parties to it are not
the parties Of the record. 1t is not a
trial Of the Ave AssemblymeR and the
Assembly. 1t is a trial between the
five Assemblymen and the people OF
the State as TO their right to repre-
sent the people in this sovereign
body"
To s1bstantiate the declaration that
there were presidents upon this sub
iect, former Senator Brown cited the
cases of Roberts, stark, Whltmore
and Berger in Congress, and the Aids
case in the New York Senate.
Before Mr.. Brown began hts address
Gilbert Z. Roe, of defense counsel
asked the committee to recommend in
its report to the Assembly allow
ance for the expenses OF the su-
spended members. Attorney General
Newton, for the prosecution, said that
was a matter for the consideration Ot
the Assembly proper.

for their expulsion Is that they vio-
lated the Constitution Of the slate by
plndging in writing before they came
n the LEGISLATURE to vote a certain
way on bills carrying appropriations
icr the militia and on other meas
ures.
II Anderson has compelled legis-
laiors to give written pledges Of their
purpose to support his Prohibition
measures. the Legislature Is epiitled
90 know IT,"
Cuyillier said that once Anderson is
obliged to appear before the Judiciary
Committee and submit himself to a
cateohizing the record Of his activities
IN other States as well as in New
York will be made a subject for In
auiry. Cuviiiier remarked:
1--WE are very anxious to know just
why Anderson left the state Of Mary
land"
Although he IL withholding for the
present the names Of clergymen who,
be says. have offered TO testify against
the Aqti-saloon League, Cuvillier to-
, day gave copies OF a letter received
from the Rev. w. N. wsbber, pastor
Of the Emmanuel Church of Great
River, L. l.
The Rev. Mr.. Webber suggests that
the Judiciary Committee look into
the matter Of the circulation Of the
American Issue and the Reform Bull
letinr to ascertain II they fare Oon-
Quoted In accordance with the United
states Postal Regulations.
"The American Issue is published
by the Anti saloon League and the
Reform Bulletin by the New York
Civic League, a reform organization
which works at the Capitol for Pro-
hibition but does not approve Of An
deTsop's 'meataxe methods
Mr.. Webber said both publications
we're sent to him regularly, though II
never did and never will subscribe for
;hem." incidentally he says he is q
Republican and 2 temperance advo-
cate.
Mr.. Cuvillier will ask Chairman
Martin OF the Judiciary Committee
to subpoena the books Of the Anti-
saloon League.
"They will show not only where
The money came FROM he says 'but
how it was spent and prove the or
ganiEation a polltical one"

their stand with Senator Lodge end
the Republican party. with the pros
poct that their number, added TO the
irreoonoilables In the Republican
ranks. will be enough to accomplish
what Senators Borah. Knox. johnson
and the rest Of the out-apd7out OPP
ponents of the treaty have sought for
months to accomplish. II doesn't make
either Democrats or Republicans COM
Portable.
The awkward and regrettabls part
OF the dilemma Is that at heart the
Senate Of the United States doesn't
want to repudiate the obligations
moral or physical, imposed upon this
country by the war. The very group
which is most opposed to the treaty
favored the famous paragraph five Of
Senator Knox's resolutions to the
general effect that whenever it be
came necessary to preserve peace in
tho world, the United States will
even consider seriously putting the
strength Of her army and navy into
the balance TO prevent a recurrence
Of such a condition as brought on the
European war.
So It looks as II the issua will 60
to the people after all. Mr.. Wilson,
fighting proudly for his conception Of
AmeTicanism, wants The American
people-not bare majority Of the
Senate-to pass upon American for
eign policy. II he Is TO be repudiated
he wants to take his medicine IN en-
election, which, unlike 1918, would Be
fought out primarily on matters Of
foreign policy.
All Of which sounds good to several
Senators who are equally confident
Of what tho American people would
say in an election. But all OF which
hardly helps the chaos in Europe dur
ing the next year, or assures the
American people an opportunity to
say what they think, for instance, OF
the Post Office Department, and eK-
press themselves at the same time
In favor Of policy OF iRternat tional
cooperation.
