CIRCUS
Continued From Page ~


orally call seam-squirrels. The whale
was conspicuous by its absence. There
was no grand free parade at noon
either.
As expected, when we called Major
Smiths attention to the many short
comlngs which was so apparent be-
fore they had set up their tents, he
passed the buck" by blaming this all
on the advance agent. informing us
that they were unable to make the
circus pay and had sent most of it
home again, and so on with a long
string of excuses, which was mostly
misrepresentation. They took the
people up here on the branch line for
a bunch of suckers and sent only a
small part of the circus outfit, as we
took the trouble to call up Bainville
where we found that Christy Brothers
were also showing that day. The day
before they had shown the whole cir
Gus, for the same price, at another
city just a short distance away, and
two days later the whole collection ap-
peared under one canvas at HavTe, but
they played Wolf Point and Glasgow
with a split show the day after they
were here.
Not only did they fail to show the
things they advertised but there were
followers of the circus that pulled in
the farmers hat happened to have
a little stray change. by showing them
the old "pea and thimble" trick. One
farmer who lost a cool hundred dol
lars complained to the County attor-
ney and so it is reported that Chris
ty Brothers circus manager settled
with this farmer by giving him back
seventy dollars.
We believe that the truth in adj
vertising'' law should be enforced
against such travelling concerns, and
that the next legislature should pass
a law requiring such tramp outfits to
post a cash bond with the State
Treasurer Of Montana, guaranteeing
the truth Of their advertising, so that
in the future they will have more re-
gard for the truth when seeking the
patronage of people who want to see
the circus. This law should not only
apply to circuses but also to any 9TH
er kind of a travelling show troupe,
even including such fake debates as
that put on at the Farmer-Labor tenn
pie recently by Townley and his van
deville partner.
If we cannot get anything but ia
kers to come here with their c%ircuses
and street carnivals, it is about time
that we keep them out of here until
we get adequate state laws to forever
put a stop to such public nuisance.

SCHEME
ACCEPTED BY
D. c. HEADS
Dealers Must Make Certain
That Supplies Come From
Dairymen With Permits

The smuggling into Washing
ton of unauthorized milk and
cream was aimed at by the Dis
trict Commissioners today when
thtey recommended an amend
ment to the present health regula-
tions providing for pure milk in
the District.
Two proposed amendments were
up before the Commissioners. one
presented by DR.. William c.
Fowler, District Health Officer.
and the other by Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride. The
Commissioner accepted the lat
ter as the more practical to en-
force.
Brides regulation provides that
no person holding a permit to
bring in or ship milk or cream
into the District for sale, shall re-
ceive any milk or cream from
any source until he shall have
first aScertained from the health
department that the 'erSonS from
whom such milk or cream is to
be obtained holds a license from
the health officer of the District
of Columbia to send milk or
cream into the said District.
Such action was taken following
the complaint of the representa-
tives of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association. They
alleged that certain so-called milk
receiving stations were receiving
milk and cream from dairy farms
not authorized by permit from the
health officer and relaying them
i1to the District. No actual evi-
dence of such violations has been
! found by District authorities, but
the legislation is aimed at the pre-
vention of such a possibility.
The new regulation provides a
penalty of not more than $40 for
the first offense, $50 for a second
offenSe or for a third within q
year a fine not to exceed $500 or
80 days in Jail or both.

Nellie and her landlord, Angus
Fairley, today related at length,
To Judge Isaac r. Hit, this and
5other alleged offenses which they
said no diplomatic husband would
commit. Eugene was very near
impossible, they claimed.
4 His wife and the landlord were

CRANT0N HI IS
HANSON As
LOBBYIST
Major SomervelI Opinion
Not Supported by Facts,
Author of Measure Says

Renewal of his charge that
power interests" are fighting
his Washington Memorial High
way and Potomac Park develop
ment bill. which project includes
the Great Falls, was made in
the House late yesterday by Rep,
rese,1tative Louis c. Cramton (R.>
Michigan. The Cramton bill is
now pending in the Senate.
During the Senate hearings.
Cramton said, the opposition had
openly cropped out.
Opposition Open
Both in these hearings and in
the press of Washington" said
Cramton, there have been state
ments hostile to the passage Of
the bill that have come from two
persons, from one Elisha Hanson,
the lobbyist or legal representa-
tive of the company that is seek
ing a private power permit and
from Major Somervell, the Dis.
trict engineer of the Corps Of
Engineers of the Potomac area"
Representative Cramton said
the one statement of Major Som
ervell before the Senate commit
tee which had attracted most at
tention was his claim that "the
passage of H. r. 26 involves
waste ; 100000. 900 in resources.
That is at best only an opinion
and an opinion not supported oy
facts"
Cites Opinions
Cramton obtained consent to IN
sert in the record several news
paper articles and editorials con
cerning the controversy over
Great Falls and the conflicting
views, as revealed by correspond
ence between Major Brenon Somer-
veil and Col. U. S. Grant. 3rd, ex
ecutive officer of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. He also included a
statement by Miss Harlean James.
the secretary of the American
Civic Association.
These statements" concluded
Cramton, by Colonel Grant and
Miss James, as well as newspaper
expressions, are directly in point
and demonstrate that the opinion
of Major Somervell as to great
economic waste are not supported
by the facts"

MORE CHANGES
SEEN IN Gas
COMPANY
Resignation Of Preston Put
In Month Ago; New Head to
Run offices From Chicago

There will be further changes in
the personnel of the Washington
Gas Light Company when George
Wood, Chicago utilities expert, as
sumes the office of the presidency,
vacated by the resignation Of Ord
Preston.
This was learned today on good
authority. Woods, who has been
intimately connected with the
Central Public Service Corpora
ton of Illinois, probably will be
officially elected at a meeting Of
the board Of directors next Tues
day.
Quit Month Ago
The resignation of Preston did
not come as a surprise to those
who were converSant with the
activities of the interests which
now control the District gas utili-
ties. Preston submitted his reSig-
nation a month ago. he said, to
become effective at the will of the
directors.
Albert E. Pierce, president of
the Central Public Service Cor.
poration, it is believed. will act
in the capacity of a president
extraordinary. advising and super
viSing the activities of the Wash.
ington Gas Light Company from
his office in Chicago.
Details of the new organization
are being worked out in New
York at a conference attended
by Wilton J. Lambert. attorney
for the Washington Gas Light
Company, who is also one of the
directors, and F. S. Burrough, Of
Harris, Forbes and Company. Bur
rough is the president of the Pub
lie Utilities Holding Corporation,
owning the controlling interest in
the Central Public Service Cor
poration, which tried to buy the
Washington Gas Light Company
about two years ago.
Wish to Expand.
At present 10000 of the 130,-
900 shares of the local companies
are owned by the Seaboard In
vestment Trust, which is con-
nected with Harris, Forbes and
Company.
The Seaboard Investment Trust
bought out the former owners at
a price of '$125 per share. A bill
is expected to be passed by Con-
gress which will permit the new
owners to refinance and expand
the company on a much larger
scale.
Preston, when interviewed to-
day as to his plans for the future,
laughed and said: II hear there's
good fishing in Florida"

DALE OPPOSES
ADDITI IONS
IN HOUSE
-LehlbacEl Is Not Optimistic
Over Prospects; Declares
It Is Now Up to Senate

Uncertainty as to the ultimate
Tate Of the civil service retirement
fbill., known as the Dale-Lehlbach
measure, existed at the Capitol to-
day, following an initial meeting
or the Senate and House confer
ices.
Advocates of the legislation
have not abandoned hope and ex-
pectation Of conference commit
tee agreement and final approval
OF the bill, but the situation today
admittedly is beclouded.
1t has been assumed that only
one meeting Of the confereeS would
be necessary and that Senator
Porter H.. Dale of Vermont and his
Senate associates would accept the
House amendments to the bill.
Senator Dale had been reported as
reacting favorably toward the
House changes, which were under
stood to be satisfactory to PreSi-
dent Hoover.
However, the first conference
brought no such agreement and
progress on an agreement was
matted after a rather heated ;es
sion OF the conferees. After the
conference Representative Lehl,
bach Of New Jersey, chairman Of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee, asserted: II am not at all Op.
timiStic over the prospects of an
agreement and as for another
meeting, that is up to the Senate
confereeS entirely"
It is believed that the Senate
ConfereeS may move for another
conference early next week, but
the developments at the first
meeting forecast rather pro-
tracted battle. Senator Dale pre-
ferred his original bill and had
little. taste for the House amend
mentS.
Representative Lehlbach came
4 to defense of the House bill, al
though 1t was modification of
u the Lehlbach substitute first Of
tered ip committee. He is said
Y to have insisted that the House
I measure was more scientific than
I the Dale, or Senate, bill and there
the argument began and con
tinued throughout the entire ses-
sion.
The conferees did not get down
TO the details of the measure
after the Senate Spokesmen are
said to have labeled the House
bill as almost a complete rewrite
Of the Senate bill which had
Z passed the upper body early IN
January and been subjected TO
considerable delay in the House.

Tommy had learned in infancy the technique which made h!r the tyrart of lhe household At fva he sj.l used It effectively,
 Whenever he was frustrated O. re- quired to do something against his wishes he would begin g peculiar heaving, spasrlodic crying which his family had lonS learned to recog- nize as q prelude to his spells
 Usually the sound Of that partlc- ular cry vas enough 10 bring them to terms If they held out against him he would nutter between his crying, On I'm going 10 be sick, I'm going to be sick
