Big Circus and Wild West Comma

Characteristic Of the Howe's Great
London Big three ring circus and
Wild West which is to exhibit here
Thursday, July 8, is the RELOCATING to
oblivion as far as this show is con-
cerned of any and all attractions that
had been with the show previous sea-
sons.
Not only has this show been recon-
structed. but it has also been enlarged
not by the addition of one or two
ordinary circus acts-but by the
actual increase in size of every de-
partment until at present it enjoys the
distinction of being classed with the
most pretentious in America
The circus program this season Is
so much bigger. better and grander
than heretofore. 1t has been neces-
sary to provide three rings to properly
display the many extraordinary arenic
features promised. Each Of these
rings is filled during the performance
with a bewildering. grand and impos
ing coterie Of human marvels and
physical prodigies who mystify and
overwhelm the mind. Every known
circus act is here represented by the
very best artists possible to obtain
in their respective lines.
A menagerie is prominent and ed
ucational feature which leaves prac-
tically nothing to be desired. Rare
wild beasts from far away countries
are here exhibited and are a source
OF enlightenment to all. MANY of
the dens containing these beasts will
be open on parade. which grand spec
tacle will be the first important fea-
ture OF the day and occurs at 1890
A. M. and is free to all.-Adv.

SECRETARY DANIELS WILL
SIFT HAITIAN "kilLINGS'
information at Hand Shows Many
Captive Bandits Were Put to Death
by Yankee Troops.

Washington, ID. c. Secretary Dan
iels announced that he had appointed
a board OF inquiry to make Il thorough
Investigation OF all wrongs alleged TO
have been committed by United States
marines in Haiti and particularly the
reference to 'indiscriminate killings
in Brig. Gen. Barnett's confidential
letter OF a year ago to Col. j. III. Rus
sell, marine commander in Haiti.
Gen. Barnett, former commandant
Of the marine corps, has been recalled
to Washington, Secretary Daniels said,
to appear before the board as a wit
ness,
The board, which is composed Of
Rear Admirals Henry T. Mayo and
j. II. Oliver. and Brig. Gen. j. III. Pen
dleton, Of the marine corps, has been
directed to "sift every bit Of evi-
dence,' Mr.. Daniels said, to the end
that ANY man in American uniform
guilty of wrongdoing shall be brought
to trial and punished
Secretary Daniels at the same time
made public Col. Russell's report on
the Investigation ordered by Gen. Bar
nett. Although directed to the de-
partment under date of March Is, 1920,
the report never reached there, the
secretary said, until brought back by
Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, command
ant OF the corps, on his recent re
turn from Haiti. IA joint report OF
Gen. Lejeune and Brig. Gen. S. D
Butler, who accompanied the marine
corps commandant to Haiti, giving
the result OF a supplementary inves.
tigation made by them during their
visit to Haiti, also was given out.
Col. Russell's report of last March
giving the result of the Investigation
ordered by Gen. Barnett as a result
OF evidence adduced at the trial of two
marine corps privates which showed,
tn general said, tire had been "prac-
tically indiscriminate killing Of cap
tive banits, placed the responsibility
for conditions" in northern Haiti on
Maj. Clarke II. Wells, who had pre-.
viously been in command in that dis
trict.
Expressing doubt as to whether evi-
dence secured in the investigation was
sufficient to warrant trial by gen.
eral courtmartial on charges OF such
a serious nature" Col. Russell rec.
commended that tn evidence be placed
before the judge advocate general Of
h navy for determination as to
whether the officer should be tried.
While agreeing with Col. Russell as
to Maj. Wells responsibility for con.
ditions, the report OF Gems. Lejeune
and Butler recommended courtmartial
proceedings as we'll against ''all per
sons implicated who can be brought
within tn jurisdiction of the court"
