Referring to large investments of
American capital. QueZon said that
while there was ample opportunity for
investment, capital should not be in
duced to come except with the clear
understanding that the Philippines
would be independent within a very
short time.
Quezoh contended that 1t was fair
neither to F'ilipinos nor to American
capitalists to have the latter come
before the question of independence
had been settled. Capital, he said,
would feel insecure and the Filipino
people rightly would fear that every
American dollar invested in the coun-
try would be opposed to relinquish-
ment of American sovereignty.

KELLOGG EN- ROUTE

Guarding Americans in
Mexico.

Property and personal rights of
Americans in Mexico will continue to
be protected. emissaries of the
knights of Columbus learned yester-
day when they called on Secretary
Kellogg in regard to the religious tur-
moil south of the Rio Grande.
The delegation received a definite
impression that the hands-off policy
of the Government in connection with
the religious difficulties is to stand
unchanged.
Mr.. Kellogg conferred for more than
an hour with J. A. Flaherty, supreme
knight, and D. J. Callahan of this city,
treasurer of the national organization.
The resolution adopted at the Phila-
delphia meeting of the Knights of Co
lumbus demanding that the Washing
ton Government take some unSpecified
action in the religious controversy
formed the basis of the conference.
Statement Not Expected.
y few hours later Mr.. Kellogg was
en- route to his conference with PreSi-
dent Coolidge at the White Pine
Camp, which he expects to reach late
today.
In view OF the secretary silence
here. it is not expected that any
formal statement Of policy as to the
religious situation in Mexico will be
forthcoming from any official quarter,
at least until after his discussion of
foreign affairs with the President.
Other aspects of the problem of safe
guarding the legitimate enterprises as
we'll as the personal rights of Amer
icons in Mexico will enter into their
talks hut for the moment the religious

due 10 the feeling it has aroused in

WORLDS ONLY FIVE
RING CIRCUS COMING
RumOr Now Confirmed. Biggest Cir
Gus, Ringing Bros. and Barnum
g. Bailey Headed This Way

Yoo-hoo! Skinny! Lookit, lookit!
Worlds first and only five ring
circus coming this way! A hundred
double-length railroad cars loaded
with the ten thousand wonders of
the Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Combined Shows that will
give performances at Wilmington on
May IA.
Never has there been more than
three rings in the past. Now the fa-
nous brother shOwmen have fixed it
so folks at the ends of the tent can
see just as much as those who sit
near the middle. Imagine five big
circus rings in a row with stages set
in between. That means that five
companies of performing horses,
twenty-four in a group, are present
ed at one time. The same is true with
the elephant actOrs-fiVe herds all
performing stunts at one time.
Big acts are the rule in the great
new circus of 1926. Aside from the
five troupes of liberty horses, two
hundred others, each ridden by an
expert in costume execute drills and
splendid maneuvers on the NAM
moth hippodrome track. Thirty ad-
ditiOnal ones are of the high-school
type, while a score of superb thor
Oughbreds leap hurdles. and Larriers
of record height. The number of
trained horses alone carried for this
seasons program, reaches the as
founding total of three hundred and
fifty.
The eQuines that share honOrs in
the twenty-five displays. In addition
to them are the eight hundred aerial
lists, bareback champions, gymnasts
and high-wire artists. These embrace
the worlds foremost men and wom-
en- stars including host of recently
imported foreign features. Some of
these number families of nine, elev-
en- and fifteen in an act. A hundred
of the worlds funniest clowns enliv-
en- the more than two hours of cir
Gus program. The tournament is the
most dazzling yet devised. The men
agerie has been increased to more
than a thousand rare animals. The
tent which houses them is almost as
large as the big-top of other seasons.
The 1925 main-tent seats over $4,000

CHESAPEAKE CITY BRIDGE
OVER CANAL is OPENEI

The new bridge over the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal at Ches-
apeake City was opened to public
traffic for the first time Saturday.
The bridge is the largest of four new
structures being built by the War
Department across the canal, clear
ing the channel at point about 240
feet wide. The cost of the new bridge
is more than $461,000.
The bridge connects George street
on the south with Lock street on the
north, in Chesapeake City, and is
some distance from the old bridge
which will soon be torn down. The
bridge has a roadway "a feet wide
between the curbs and two side
walks outside the trusses.
The next bridge to be completed is
at Summit, located about 40 feet
west of the old bridge there. AS
there is more excavation to be made
at Summit than at st. Georges and
Chesapeake City expectations are
that the bridge will not be completed
before the first of June.
