Threatening Weather No
Bar to Joyous Throng,
Big Top Bound.
BY ARCH STEINEL

Desks were vacant in some school
rooms today. The itching foot-a
champing beneath Office chairs-per-
vaded early morning hours. Every
thing seemed to go smash this gray
day and wander outside. Thoughts
wandered out, too, and people with
them.
Nothing went straight because of
the years biggest natag day echoing
from lip to lip with:
Circus in town."
For early this morning as the
Sells-Floto circus pulled into the
railroad yards and unpacked for its
one days engagement at the Key
stone avenue circus grounds, the
occupants of those vacant school
desks and those of the itching feet"
flocked down on Keystone to see the
big top" uloaded and hoisted.
Earn Their Seats
Men who fed elephants for Annie
Oakleys in the past tanbark days
watched 1881 youth earn their
bleacher seats for ''the afternoons
pr-ee-fornance, ladies and gentle
men," by carrying stakes and sec
tons of canvas.
Here there, son, do you want to
go to the CIRCUS? You do? Well,
grab a hand on those poles shouted
circus roustabout.
The trek OF the wagons, the Shet-
land ponies, the ''bulls" felephants) =,
the cameIs, evoked 'ohs and abs"
and 'looky there" from the crowd
lining the curbs on keystone. 1t
was their parade, the only circus
parade nowadays, and they made
the most of it.
Up went the circuss first top"
and always the first canvas
stretched-the cooks lean-to and
the dining hall.
The Music Starts
The sing song 'wham- bam-b am-
whan" of stake drivers mingled
with the shouts of wagon~drivers
and the steam from boiling "spuds."
You can't park here, Mister.
Nope, not today. See that sign"
pointed a traffic officer to a no
parking placard," as he added,
Circus in town"
Like bees focking to a patch of
honeysuckles, soft-drink stands
raised their heads on Keystone and
proffered' the same good old pink"
lemonade, hot dogs, and puff"
candy.
The ballon man flawked his
wares. Performers stirred in sleep
ing cars several blocks away.
The "big top" rose like gray
wave from its fiat bed on the
ground. It seemed the final signal
announcing that the day, after all,
wasn't so gray for:
"Circus-in- town"

NYE'S PROBERS
ARE DEFIED BY
CANNON'S AID
Woman Refuses to Answer
Questions, Challenging
Boards Power.
CONTEMPT is CHARGED
Committee Yet May Call
Bishop to Appear for
Quizzing.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, May Efforts
Of Senator Gerald E. Nye's cam
paign expenditures committee, at
tempting to investigate activities Of
Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the
Methodist Episcopal church South
in the 1928 presidential campaign,
failed, at least temporarily, today
when Miss Ada Burroughs, an aid
to the bishop, refused to testify.
After a half hour Of parrying, the
hearing closed without overcoming
Miss Burroughs refusal to answer
questions on the ground that the
committee was without authority.
Futile efforts were made to ques-
ton Miss Burroughs as to the cir
cumstances surrounding the report
made by the Cannon committee &C
counting for $1,000 of the $4,000
contribution of E. G. Jameson, New
York financier to Cannon.
Punishment Is Hinted
Chairman Nye. irritated. at one
point reminded her that zone fact
stands out, that there has been a
violation Of the corrup practices
act. Do you accept that respon-
sibility?"
81 said in my statement" Miss
Burroughs answered, chat I did not
willingly violate the corrupt prac-
tees act"
The committee indicated by sew
eral Of its questions that it might
take other procedure to punish Miss
Burroughs, and reminded her fire.
quently that she was under oath.
Declines Flatly to Answer
Nye read to Miss Burroughs a
letter written by Cannon in Sep
TENDER, 1928, soliciting funds from
Jameson, and asked her if she could
recognize the bishops signature.
Il decline to answer" she re-
piled.
81 will hand the letter to you and
ask the question again" Nye said.
Miss Burroughs looked at the
letter and said she had nothing to
add to her previous statement.
Cannon Can Be Called
The committee did not meet i'm
mediately to decide what action to
take in regard TO Miss Burroughs,
but Senator Dill Dem, Wash)
and Wagner, dem, N. W, told
questioners the refusal to testify
would be reported to the secretary
Of the senate after which the fed
eral authorities would proceed with
contempt action.
A question was raised whether
contempt proceedings could be
started unless at the request of the
senate. Wagner said he did not
know, but believed they could be.
By permitting Miss Burroughs to
testify today instead of Cannon, the
committee apparently chose to
make its test case against her in
stead Of the bishop. Cannon, how
ever, could be summoned later and
still be made liable to contempt
proceedings.
