FORCED ORDER

International News Service

An admission that the Recon
Struction Finance Corporation
forced approval Of a railroad re-
organization plan to place it under
control Of the $4,000, 10000 Van
Sweringen empire held the atten-
ton today of Senator Wheeler
Cd Of Montana, chairman Of
the Senate's inquiry into railway
finance.
The admission was made during
the testimony of Carroll M.
Shanks, chairman Of the general
mortgage bondholders protective
committee of the Chicago & East
ern Illinois Railroad. He said, in
effect, that Jesse H. Jones, chair
man Of the RFC, had forced"
him to approve the plan although
he believed it to be of little bene-
fit to the stockholders.
The plan, now pending, would
authorize the Van Sweringen-con-
trolled Chesapeake g. Ohio to take
over 20 per cent of the voting
stock Of the c. q e. l., which
would give it operating control Of
the Illinois carrier.
Wheeler introduced letters and
documents showing that much of
the success Of the proposed re-
organization plan depended on an
other loan from the RFC. Testi-
mony revealed that at that time q
$4,000, 10000 loan was pending, in
addition to the 100000 the
agency already had loaned the

CIRCUS COMES
TO CAPITAL
MONDAY

As you may have heard, the
circus is coming Monday.
If you haven't heard, Frank
Braden viii tell you all about
it. Mr.. Braden is a press agent.
He goes about with circus tickets
in his pocket, and many yards
Of newspaper copy, illustrated
with pictures Of bareback lady
riders.
Mr.. Braden writes Of Ringing
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey
Combined Circus, which is com.
bining q lot Of circus. He puts
in all Of the statistics about the
pygmy African elephants, the
seven herds Of full-sized ele-
plants, the East Indian pongurs,
the 1000 people, the 1909 me-
nagerie animals, into long type
written pages Of thin paper, and
hands them to the city editor,
in the hope that some Of it
will get in the paper. Usually
some Of 1t does.
Opens Monday
It may be cleaned from Mr..
Braden's latest literary output
that the combined circus will
open on the regular circus lot
at Fifth st. and Florida Ave.
N. E., next Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, and that there will
be two shows a day, one in the
afternoon and the other start
ing at 8 in the evening, on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
1t seems also that the circus
will arrive some time Sunday In
four-count 'em-railroad trains,
and that Willie Carr, who tells
the boys where to stick the pins
in the ground, so that the ground
crew can pitch the poles and put
the tents where they belong with.
out getting the elephants In the
tent occupied by the daring young
men on the flying trapeze, is on
the lot today. Today'S job is to
get the house and the backyard
ready, so all the seals and other
performers can move in Sunday.
Horde of Artists
Mr.. Braden can tell you how
many meals it takes to feed the
animals and the people, and
whether the bearded lady really
has q beard, and just why you
can stick pins in the fat lady
without hurting her-if you can.
Upon reading Mr.. Braden's pro-
fessional circus publicity output,
you get something that reads like
this:
Among the scores Of out
standing new features from
abroad are Magyafs, EurOpe's
most sensational sOmerSaulting
SpringbOard acrObatic troupe;
the great Alloys, aerial flying and
diving daredevil; William Heyer.
Europe's first hOrseman and
