Justice Let's Urges
Burko Jury 10 Try
To End Differences
Action in Trial of Ex-PoIice
Court Clerk Follows
so Hours Deliberution

Justice r. Dickinson Let's called
in the District Court jury in the
Burko conspiracy trial shortly be-
fore noon today and impressed on
the II men and l woman the ne
cessity of endeavoring to compose
their differences.
This came after the Jury had
been celebrating for nearly so
hours on the case of Joseph r..
Burko, former Police Court clerk.
indicted on charges of conspiracy
to split traffic fines with a former
balliff.
Gives "Allen Charge"
The jurist's remarks are known
in law as "the Allen charge" and
are the outgrowth of a Supreme
Court case of that name.
Justice Let's advised the jurors
that those holding out, either for
conviction or acquittal, should re-
examine their positions and see II
they could not go along with the
majority of their fellows.
After Justice Let's gave this
charge, which is usually preliminary
to dismissal of jury from case,
if the deadlock continues for an ex-
tended period, the jurors filed back
to their jury room for further con-
sideration.
Unevenly Divided.
In response to query by the jur-
ist, the jury said, through its fore
man, that it had taken IL or Is bal
lots and that the II members were
divided unevenly. Beyond that,
there was no indication as to the
numerical strength of majority and
minority.
The case went to the jury at
10:49 am. Tuesday. Since that
time, the jury has asked for addi-
tional information and instructions
Justice Let's refused to let the
jury have the transcript of the case,
but granted permission for it to
examine two of the so-called "in-
formations" which are court papers
of traffic cases, on which the prose-
cution charges Burko altered the
record to show suspended sentences.
James Edward Sullivan, former
Police Court bailiff, a co-defendent
with Burko on the charge of con-
spiracy to commit embezzlement,
forgery and splitting trafic fines,
has pleaded guilty, and testified
against Burko.
Burko protested he was innocent
and claimed that his dismissal and
the indictment against him were the
result of plot by two police judges.

tury, was the circus great an
achronism-Jim Pepper. Jim started
with the circus, driving work horse,
about so years ago.
Gradually, all the work horses
have been replaced by motors, save
one-the one that Jim drives. He
putters around the lot, hauling
stakes, with the old white horse.
Steam Up in the Old Calliope.
This year has seen the revival of
two other relics of the circus that
the last generation knew-the steam
calliope and the bell wagon. The
Ringing Circus abandoned the
steam calliope in 1920.
They thought that it would be a
good idea to use it in the spectacle
this year-to remind the old circus
fans of the days of their youth.
After search. they found the old
calliope, which they think is the
only one in the country outside of
museum.
But when they'd put the calliope
in shape, they couldn't find any one
who knew how to play it. Then
they remembered old Cap Carroll,
who's around 10 years old now and
who had been "at liberty" since the
steam died down in the calliope
these many years ago.
They found him, retired and
dreaming of the days when he and
the calliope had led the circus pa
rade down the street of almost every
town in America. They persuaded
him to come back. He plays for
about five minutes in the matinee
and five minutes at night. He's
the happiest man In the circus.
The bell wagon is another link to
the past. The Ringlings put it to-
gether in 1892, at which time their
baliyhoo men proclaimed that it
was made of bells imported from
the Kremlin, in far-away Roossia, at
tremendous expense"
Gorillas Big Attraction.
The big attraction of this years
show, of course, is the love match
OF Gargantua and Toto, the gorillas.
Under the able direction of the
noted press agent, Frank Braden.
these two beasties have been pull
ing crowds like a 1-cent sale in the
baby bond department of the
Treasury.
They have a tent of their own.
where they dwell in amity in air
conditioned cages. They have only
met each other in passing, so far, but
Mr.. Braden has high hopes of
wedding soon.
The show has been doing record
business in its early stops. The ad-
vance sale here has been heavy
and turn-away business in WASH
ington-which is a good circus town
lis expected.
There is red, white and blue saw
dust for the big top this year, a
patriotic touch. The performers,
many of whom have come from
abroad, are particularly conscious of
the beauties of America this year..
It's about the last country In the
world wneFs . circus can operate.

By ALFRED TOOMBS.

The dawn broke bright over the
drab lot, cluttered with ashes and
glass and old tin cans, at Twenty
first and c streets NE. today.
1t was a barren scene at daybreak
when over the hill from the direc-
ton of the railroad yards came
trudging the first two elephants,
kicking up a trail of dust behind
them.
Then came the trucks and tractors
that shook the earth and in the next
few hours the crowd that gathered
saw the drab lot transformed into
wonderland. The circus had come
The annual miracle was per-
formed, on its usual clocklike sched-
ule. Flags tapped in the breeze atop
red and blue tents. The trumpeting
of the elephants, the bark of the
seals and the roar of the lions arose
above the city's noise and off in
corner of the lot Cap Carroll was
warming up the old calliope.
THE Ringing Bros, Barnum 81
Bailey Combined Shows, the great
est show on earth, was set up and
ready for three days of business in
Washington. 1t is the most elabo-
rate layout and the biggest show
that has been put on the road. 1t
moves in four sections on the rail-
road.
Big Top Moves Overnight.
The show made an overnight
journey from Baltimore-this being
the first time this season the sweat
ing roustabouts have taken the big
top down one night and put it up
the next day.
The last section didn't leave Balti-
more until 4:30 a.m.-at almost the
same moment the first section was
reaching Washington. At daybreak,
nobody thought they'd get the big
top up in time for the matinee.
The cook tent went up first.
About am. the word went around
that ''the flag is up" The rousta-
bouts left their labors long enough
to grab light breakfast, which
consisted of 400 pounds of bacon
5.400 eggs. % hams-weighing about
20 pounds each-4, 900 hotcakes, 100
boxes of cereal, 400 pounds of pota-
toes, 60 gallons of milk and 10
pounds of coffee.
Big Top Is Ready.
Then they pitched in with some
spirit to drive the 4,238 stakes that
are sunk in the soft ground. The
gangs of canvasmen unloaded II 900
yards of colored canvas, hitched up
their ropes and began to pull.
"Heave it. heavy, shake it, store
it, came the chant of the straw
bosses. Shake it up, shake it up,
will you shake 1t, lay it down"
One after another. the big tents
rose. The animals were watered and
fed. They don't haul water in
buckets any more. A big water
wagon rumbles over the lot torserv-
ice the elephants, putting numerous
small boys in the ranks of the unem-
ployed.
The Job was complicated this
year. Norman Bell Geddes stream
lined the show, making it very
beautiful, but putting In Ill kinds
