He called in some artists and
talked with them. He began to
hear about reproductions in paint
ings. And then he got into books
that had to do with great mas

Not only did he improve his bill
board product, but he began to get
great interest in paintings. His
fortune grew. He had money to
buy the great works Of art. He be-
came the sixth richest man in the

He could buy original art works

CITY JUDGES
BLAST AWAY
AT BONDSMEN
Demand to Be Made for
Cash Only to Stop
Practices.

Move to force professional bonds
ment to provide only cash bonds in
municipal courts was to be taken
today by Judges Clifton r. Cameron
and Paul G. Wetter.
The order was to be prepared
later in the day by the judges, fol-
lowing a series of conferences and
is interpreted as the most severe
blow administered to the profess
SIGNALS by the judges to stop I'M
ethical practices in their courts.
Persons who frequently sign
bonds for pay will be required to
put up cash bonds under the order
that Cameron and I will issue, -
Wetter announced. Under this
system the cash from fortified bonds
Immediately will be turned over to

State Has Gone to Court
cit will break up the practice
of bondsmen doing nothing for the
state but collecting feees and pay
ing little or nothing when the bonds
are forfeited"
Wetter said that under the Sys-

'has collected quite a bit of money

1t frequently has been necessary
for the state to go into court under
the forfeiture. During a campaign
on bondSmen several months ago, it
was revealed that the amount Of
bonds provided by some bondsmen
is many times the value of their
property.

wetter said the practice of per-
hitting court bailiffs to release on
their own recognizance persons
slated on misdemeanors 'has
proved highly successful"
The courts now have in force an
order that when q defendant is
slated on a series of charges, only
the highest bond on one Of the
counts is necessary, which, accord
ing to the judges, has sliced reve-

CIRCUS KING
mr.. John Likes Culture;
but BaIks at Title
of Elite

BIZ NEA Service
NEW YORK, April l0.-"Mr.
John" has come back to town from
his Florida estates to take posses
sion Of an Office in which amuse-
ment history is remade every year.
For "Nlr. John" is John Rungling,
who became John Ringing through
a typographical error committed
many years ago. All the Runglings,
harness makers from Germany who
settled in Baraboo, Wis, became
Ringlings-and Ringlings they have
stayed.
But "Mr. john" last OF the five
brothers, is a shy,-eVen timid-man
where interviews are concerned. One
would imagine that, after all the
years of trouping and ballyhoo and
press-agentry, he would be hard
boiled and expansive. Instead of
which he runs to the sanctuary of
his office at the very idea that he
may be quoted.
Which is why it becomes a bit
difficult to state, with any degree
of accuracy. what happens in this
throne-room of the white tops.
Certain it is that MIR. john
smokes one cigar after another. and
they are of a costly brand espe-
cially made to suit his tastes. And
certain it is that at this season of
year he has much to think about
and much to attend to, now that
the winter work in Sarasota, Fla,
has been cleaned up and the many
tent shows he is interested in get
ready for the road.
In his own way, ''Mr. John" Is a
huge production in at least three
rings and four stages. While the
tanbark and canvas are his chief

interests, he has made himself a
unique show-world figure by show
ing an amazing interest in art and
literature. Who ever expected
Snowman to have the largest in
dividual collection Of Rubens? Or
to read the philosophers and the
modern psycho-analysts, including
Freud?
Well, 'Mr. John" does.
Every ore has heard of his
fabulous Florida showplace, where
the marble was quarried, from the
temples Of ancient Greece and Italy.
Many a year ago, so the story
goes, Mr.. John was looking over the
color work on those flashy and al
Turing billboard posters that can
be seen about the countryside
when circus season is on. The quail
ity of the reproduction didn't suit
him. He began to make inquiries

BY BEN STERN

Continued delay Of Governor
Harry G. Leslie in either reappoint-
ing Paul c. Wetter as judge of mu-
nicipa1 court four or naming his
successor, and speculation as to
what will occur, are the most preva-
lent topics Of conversation among
indianapolis attorneys.
From the viewpoint Of the aver
age citizen of indianapolis, this ap-
pointment is much more important
than others still awaiting action by
the Governor.
Since expiration of Wetter's term
on Jan. /, George V. Coffin, Marion
county G. o. P. boss, has been ex-
erting pressure through every posi-
Bile source to obtain his reappoint-
ment.
From all indications, the Cover
nor has not forgiven the Coffin or
ganization for the woeful showing
he made in Marion county in the
1928 election and at present Is
averse to appointing a member OF
the organization to any post.
y
Three names, of the score sub
mitted, which are saidsto be re-
ceiving Leslie's consideration, are
those of William S. McMaster, for
merly superior court judge; John
F. Engelke, former probation Off
Ger and unsuccessful candidate for
the G. o. P. nomination for the
probate bench, and Floyd Mannon,
former deputy prosecutor.
McMaster, appointed to superior
court four when Byron K. Elliott
resigned in 1929, has indicated he
is averse to an appointment to the
municipal criminal bench. His
friends say, however, that if Leslie
desires to appoint him, Judge Dan
v. White of municipal court two, a
civil court, can be moved to Wetter's
place and McMaster could assume
the civil bench.

Of DR.. Colella, superintendent Of
antiquities in Cirtinio. He has
just examined one of a group of
tombs in an ancient metropolis,
which a local farmer, Mario De
Marks, accidentally discovered
while ploughing his fields.
The doctor explains:
"The tomb contains the re-
mains of a man called QuintO
AvellO Frisco, who died two
and a half centuries back. He
was the equivalent to mayor
for five years. He gave his fel-
low citizens several gladiatOrial
games in the circus; gave free
theatrical performances in .

gave . sports competition every
year in honor Of the goddess

set against him. Col Tilson, backed by
the House Republicans in the last Con-
gress, upset the apple cart for the Pro-
grcsS:ve- Democratic coalition of the
Senate time and again and made it pos
sible for President Hoover to triumph
over the nti-administration Senate.
The Progressives in the Senate love him
not at all. However. the majority leader
of the House has given Progressive Re-
pub leans in the House a square deal
and they are not as antagonistic to Col
Tilson as are the members of the group
in the Senate.
Smell Of New York, Ramseyer Of Iowa,
Wood of indiana, Michener of Michi-
San. Mapes of Michigan, French CT
Idaho. Purnell of Indiana, Hoch of
Ka"sas and Hawley of Oregon are some
OF those mentioned for the Speakership
nomination. The Office is a big plum
an honor that any member of the House
would gladly welcome if it came his
way. 1t will probably be fought for
vigorously. The Progressive group will
demand concessions from the candi-
dates, particularly with regard to a
liberalization CT the House rules of pro-
cedure. The late Speaker Longworth
had indicated that in all probabilit
some revision of the rules might be
permitted.
There is cult among the Repub-
licans which takes the view that it
would be wiser to allow the Democrats
to organize the House and the Senate,
because it is sevident that the regular
Republicans in both houses will be in
a minority in the coming Congress and.
therefore, Will not have what is termed

Memory does strange tricks, especial
ly in Spring. We were going along by
| certain block the other day when
suddenly there flashed in our mind, fcr
| no particular reason, a picture of our
self going that way many years ago.
We had a phonograph record under
our arm, because in those days phono-
graphs and records were as popular as
radio is today. We recalled the very
name of. the record. We saw again a
girl in a gray dress; her luminous eyes
shone again.
The whole vision was mirage, a

Memory is a strange thing, indeed!'

Similarly, the Sight of a white bull
terrier brought back memories of go1d
old Jinks, gone these many years.
Jinks was born in fire engine house,
in a Midwestern city.
His mother was a fighting dog. He
had no pedigree, and he needed none.
His particular breed is sometimes
known as pit bull, but probably more
properly called bull terrier.
1t is a heavily built, whip-t3 dog,
with keen, intelligent eyes and upstand-
ing ears. In the old days it was fash
Unable to crop both ears and tail.
In those days it was whispered that
the tails, in particular, were bitten off,
but whether this was true We never
knew
Certainly Jinks had all the advan-
tages of proper surgery for his unneces-
sary mutilation. Since that era the
feeling against cropping has grown,
with the result that it is no longer
INDUCED in widely.
In Jinks day, however, cropping was
the style, and no one could have said
it did not become his alert look and
his bright brown eyes.

What a fine specimen Of a deg he
was!
Weighing 20 pounds, his neck was %
inches around. No store in Washington
had a collar big enough for him, so it
was necessary to get one made.
He was a nobby- looking creature
when he came down the street, pulling
heavily on his harness, black leather,
studded with brass.
His pull could have been translated
only into horse power, not canine
power.
One veterinarian who handled him
said afterward that he had rather

His speed. in running, was beyond
that cf smaller dogs, and there were
few fences, even those topped with
spikes, which he could not sail over in
a graceful curve.
Jinks' speciality was chasing cats.
Black cats, in particular, aroused his
mighty ire.
Black, generically. seemed to go
against his grain. Innocent old colored
men, going down the alley with bags
over their shoulders, calling "Old bones.
any old bones today?" irked him to
frenzy.
But it was the cat which set Jinks
wild.
No sooner would he see one than he
would give lunge, hitched or ur-
hitched.
Stout did his leash have to be, and
sturdy the post, If he was not to break
loose, when a cat came prowling his
way.
