Famous Snowman Opens
Performance Last Night
At Orak Temples Even
ing Show.

Something new In circus history
was written last night when Ham
mond's second Shrine circus was
going through Its opening perform
ance.
A circus performer received such
persistent applause that he was
forced to give an encore 1t was
never done before.
The performer Is Joe Hodgfni
International somersault bareback
rider.
Joe went through his stunts and
beat It for the dressing room. but
the crowd wouldn't stand for It.
The acclaim continued. The applause
was continuous. It grew in volume
and Joe tarried back stage At last
the management chased him out
again. He did his regular part over
and added every other trick he
knew. He rode the horse in every
imaginable pose from its ears to
the tip of It's tail. There never was
a prouder circus star than Joe
Hodgini last night He'll always
remember Hammond.
Last nights opening performance
broke last years record. There
were fully half as many more In
the Shrine auditorium than were at
the first night last year.
The school kids nearly carried
away the place in the afternoon and
IL seemed as though every one of
them sent the rest OF the family
back In tho evening.
ROBINSON IN PERSON
John Robinson himself came all
the way from Cincinnati to Ham
mond to give the signal which
started Orak's second big indoor
circus
That's how much other people
think of the stunt which Hammond
Shriners are pulling of.
Robinson Is head OF the John
Robinson shows He is a grandson
of the original John Robinson who
started Americas hrst travelling
circus In 1924.
He appeared before the crowd Of
children hrst yesterday afternoon
and was given a rousing reception
when he was introduced by DR..
Sharrer. Last evening he was
again warmly appiauded by the
crowded house which greeted the
circus.

Is putting on the biggest and best
indoor circus ever attempted in the
country. Its fame has spread.

LONG, BITTER
TARIFF FIGHT
NEARING END
Senate Votes at 4 p.
NJ; Passage Is
Certain.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The long
est and bitterest tariff fight in the
history of the American congress
was to end at 4 p. m. today under
a unanimous consent agreement
for a vote by the senate at that
hour on the adoption of the con-
ference report of the administra-
ton bill. Favorable action was re-
garded as a foregone conclusion,
as was the approval of the measure
by President Harding.
The tariff, the first Republican
protective measure in nearly ten
years, has been 20 months and more
in the making. The house ways
and means committee began hear
ings on Jan. 6, 1891, and the bill
WAS passed by the house on July
zI OF the same year. It then went
to the senate, where it remained
with the finance committee until
last April IL. Eight days later the
senate consideration began and it
continued for four months, with
only one or two Interruptions.
Debate Was Tedious.
For the first time in American
tariff making the senate considered
the bill item by item with pro-
longed debate ON some of the sep
arate rates. Heretofore the prac-
tice had been to discuss entire
schedules or only the high spots in
each schedule. Under the new
plan the bill was rewritten gradu-
ally on the senate floor, but most
of the changes we're voted on rec
ommendation of the finance coa-
mittee majority.
