CIRCUS PERFORMER
SLIGHTLY INJURED
Stepped on BY One Of the Elephants
But Later Appears in Other

An incident happened at the circus
last night that goes to show how the
sympathy Of an audience of people
goes out to a person when some mis-
| fortune happens to that person, even
though they have never seen them be-
fore and are likely never to see them
again.
During the elephant acts woman
was stepped on by one of the elephants.
She was lying PROSTATE on the ground,
and the huge monster in maneuvering
his awkward body about, suddenly
placed his foot on her body. Seeing
her predicament she screamed and
tainted away. The other acts went
on, but the sympathetic audience sat
in utter silence as one Of the assist
ants took the girl in his arms and
carried her from the ring. Another of
the ringmen took the place and finished
the act. The crowd anxiously awaited
for an announcement. but none came
We write OF this incident to let you
know the girl was not injured She
was revived Immediately after being
carried into the dressing room and
later appeared in another act during
the performance.

Austen Chamberlain, Britain chan

retary Kelly Of the treasury, in
charge Of foreign loans, a statement
that embassy officials had obtained
$200, 900 early in 1920 ION the un-
derstanding that these funds would
be replaced from other sources"
On motion, of Senator Kellogg
Republican, Minnesota, the COM
mittee closed the doors to decide
whether detailed Investigation Of
Russian loan status should be
pressed. -
Mr.. Kelly said the Russians had
received $751; 100000 between July
and November, 1917, "and nothing
since then" with the exception ol
the $200, 900 item. He described the
sO-called Russian liquidation
which followed the fall Of the ,Ker'
ensky government, when the EN-
bassy had about $56.000.0 900 on de-
posit and owed $102, 10000 t.

claims were liquidated, leaving 9
