Two barber shops will be set up in
circusland when the Ringing Brothers
and Barnum & Bailey Combined
Shows pitch their tents here Friday
September %.
Except for the fact that its top and
walls are OF canvas, one of these
shops is not unlike that which is to
be found in most any town. It ana
its five BARRIERS cater to the human
side of the circus. But the second
tonsorial parlor is probably the
strangest in America. 1t is on wheels
and is enclosed with polished brass
bars 1t is the shop patronized by the
trained lions and tigers that are this
season the feature of the big wild
animal acts. Frank Rowland is the
boss barber. Rowland was formerly
connected with a number of African
exploration parties and was selected
for the position partly because he un-
derstands the beasts and more par
ticularly because he is intimately ac-
quainted with the most modish styles
of jungle haircuts.
Rowland will tell you that the lions
are quite like children when it comes
to visiting the barber shop. Most of
them resent the attention, and it
sometimes happens that Rowland is
obliged to stand outside his shop and
perform his work thru the bars On
the other hand. there is Sultan, biggest
of all the lions, who actually enjoys
having his name trimmed in fash
ionab1e style. Indeed, the big fellow
will oftentimes sink into sound
snooze as the scissors snip and click
around his ears.
In addition to the lions and tigers,
the more ferocious trained animals
number ten Ieopards and a dozen polar
bears. All must receive more or less
attention from the circus barber.

TARIFF BILL FOLLY
Secretary of Treasury Declares
Act Can't Help Farmers.
Wheat Price Fixed by World
Demand, Not Dealers.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 17.-Former
Secretary of the Treasury David F
Houston, speaking at dinner in his
honor last night. declared that the
tariff bill now before congress is
'.stupendous folly" He said that
claims that the bin would help farm
ers Was all nonsense.
THE tariff bill now before congress,
in my opinion, and of practically every
business man I have talked to, is the
most stupendous folly that could be
conceived of. s ~4- eE.
1T is claimed that it will benefit
the farmer: that it will benefit the
manufacturer and in turn benefit the
people. Nothing could be further
from the fact. Europe is unable to
pay in gold for her exports. Lack of
markets is the matter with business
conditions. @s.4ss4
THAT this tariff bill will help the
farmers is nonsense. The world
market makes the price, and tariff
cannot affect it locally except to the
local consumer"

NEW SENSATION IN BOTTOMS
Ford Truck Decides To Go Into Rail-

Ford Truck Decides To Go Into Rail-
road Business.
A Ford motor truck has furnished
the latest sensation for Mayor Ander-
sons district in the north bottoms"
Left by its driver parked in front
of the office of Whiteker Brothers,
Thursday afternoon, the truck sudden
ly took a notion to follow its mEnu-
facturer into, the railroad busin ess.
A passing Santa Fe switch engine
with, string of cars furnished the OPP
portunity. The cars engine had been
left running and the jar of the train
threw the truck into gear.
Starting out the truck turned around
and hooked itself on the rear end of
down the track with the train until
it came to a switch where it couldn't
make the rifle Peeved because It
was sidetracked, the truck turned
over and died against the switch post,
about halfway between Kansas avenue
and Quincy street.
The train went merrily on and was
down near Jefferson street before the
crew was informed of what had hap
pened. Backing UP to the spot they
were surprised to find that the driver
had righted his car and disappeared.
From several sources it was re-
ported that the truck belonged to the
Stone Produce company, but if any
of their cars have been cutting up
such capers, officials of that company
declare they know nothing about 1t.

Dabs of Ldsses

Lots of Cash

st. Paul, Sept. 17.-LittIe dabs Of
cheap iIlolasses on plain pine sticks in
the hands OF 81 oil inspectors in Min
nesota have saved users OF gasoline
thousands OF dollars the past year. ac-
cording to Hjalmar Nilsson, state oil
Inspector. Incidentally this simple
test for discovering water in gasoline
has gone out from Minnesota to a
dozen other states.
On the theory that water is heavier

simple test year ago. A stick dipped
in cheap molasses glidesi thru gasoline
without showing any effect on the
moIasses. But when water is encbun-

When the stick is withdrawn the exact
amount of water in the bottom of the
tank Is clearly revealed

FACES COURT FOR MURDER
MayfieId, Kan, Woman Says Ptomaine,
Not Arsenic, Cause.

wellington, Kan, Sept. 16.-With
the defense indicating its contention
would be that death came from uremic
and ptomaine poisoning instead of ar
senic, Mrs. Martha Freeman Burson,
As, went on trial here today, charged
with the murder of her husband, near
Mayfield, April ~. o..
According to the prosecution .ex-
animation of the viscerA after the
body was exhumed showed traces of
arsenic. Evidence is largely circum-
stantial. Opal Freeman, daughter-in-
law of the defendant, testified today
that Burson complained of illness
after a fishing trip of two weeks be-
fore his death.
The state contends, however, that
Mrs. Burson administered small doses
of arsenic over a period of several
weeks. before the death. Several ply
sicians have been summoned as wit
nesses.

The administration plans to have
the forthcoming conference deal en-
tirely with the task of bringing the
jobiess in immediate contact with the

more ambitious undertaking of finding
a permanent cure for sporadic unem-

Great care will be exercised, it
was said, to keep the conference har-
monious and to exclude from its pro-

tween capital and labor, the open shop

similar matters. In this respect, adj
