Citizens Unit InsfaIIs
In Metropolis View

The newly elected officers of the
Metropolis View Citizens Associa-
ton were installed last night by
Clifford Newell, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
in their last meeting of the season
Those elected were:
Mrs. F. G. Sartwell, reelected
president: Martin A. De Broske, new
vice president; Mrs. John A. Tond-
ra, recording secretary; I. B. Goad,
corresponding secretary, and Savior
Sidotti, treasurer.
Mr.. Newell told the newly elected
officers there would be many new
problems for them and their asso-
citation to solve in the coming year
Those Senators up on the Hill try
to tell us we're lucky we can't vote
that we miss all the dirty poll
tics at election time" he declared
Mr.. Newell pointed out members
of Congress have compared the
citizens organizations here with the
town meetings elsewhere in the
country. They're right, I guess
as far as that goes, except that we
have to work harder because We
can only make resolutions asking
for things" Mr. Newell said.
A. J. Driscoll, president of the
Mid City Citizens Association, con-
graduated the members of the as
ISOLATION on their 10th anniversary
and recalled, with 1t. John Norris
of No. II police precinct the be-
ginnings of citizens associations in
the District.
The meeting was held in the Noyes

No matter who bosses the "big
show" John Ringing North seems
confident he will continue to book
the acts, and. apparently, he is
satisfied with that.
Mr.. North's. name appears on the
program of "the greatest show on
earth" as producer and rs first vice
president of the operating company,
Ringing Bros. and Barnum IL Bailey
Combined Shows, Inc.
The Delaware Supreme Court,
however, listed him yesterday as one
OF three executives it held to have
been elected Illegally at the last
stockholders meeting in April, 1916.
In addition to declaring he was not
a vice president, the court ousted
James A. Haley as president and
reinstated Robert E. Ringing, a
cousin of Mr.. North, who was voted
out of office at the 1915 meeting.
Further, it ruled the position of
secretary treasurer belonged to w.
P. Dunn, jr., instead of to James r.
Griffin.
North States Views.
The three ousted officers were
enjoined from interfering Sin any
manner" with management of the
circus.
A reporter found Mr.. North yes
terday in his extra-length private
railroad car, the Jomar, parked on
a siding not far from the show
grounds.
Mr.. North described the courts
action as merely an elaboration of
q decision it made awhile ago up
holding a Chancery Courts finding.
The lower court had decided Mr.
Haley voted stock illegally at the
stockholders session, when he gained
the top executive spot.
Did he have any comment on the
proceedings, Mr.: North was asked?
mo, don't think So" he replied.
Will Respect Court Order.
Would the court order be re-
spected?
why, certainly
Would Mr.. Ringing take over d.
rection of the show at once?
! II don't know. I haven't heard
anything about it,
Was any further action planned
by his side?
mo, not right away, as far as
know. The vice chancellor (of the
Chancery Court probably will have
some instructions. And Wen nave

pare refreshments appropriate II

As RinqIinq Wins Circus Rule

Did the North net come up with
any former collaborationists?
well, there were some acts I
didn't bring back. They were still
being checked. 1 have options for
next year"
All of the importations are here
on fixed-term permits, and Mr..
North has guaranteed to see that
they return to Europe.
If he has favorite turn among
the newcomers 1t may be the AL
zanas, an aerial troupe.
They're unbelievable" he COM
mented. I've seen them time after
time and I still don't believe they
do what they do"
Studies to mysteries"
After attempting to solve the
mysteries of a new toy sent him by
a Philadelphia friend, Mr. North
left his car for dinner. The execu-
tive changes in show apparently
| were far removed from his mind.
| The court-designated president OF
| the corporation is an opera and
concert singer who became head OF
the show in 1914, succeeding Mr.
North. Now so, Mr.. Ringing is the
only living son of any of the five
brothers who founded the Ringing
show.
The 1916 election of officers, which
removed him, was contested by his
mother, Mrs. Charles Ringing. She
charged violation of a stock-votine
agreement entered into by her and
Mrs. Haley, widow of Richard Ring
ling, who married Mr.. Haley In 1913
d. C. Attorney Arbiter.
The compact was to vote theil
stock in block and, in event Of
disagreement, to place the issue in
the hands of an arbiter.- Karl Loos
Washington attorney, acted as
arbiter, and issued voting instrue-
tons which were not followed at the
meeting, according to the conten-
tons of the group ousted then.
The Delaware courts held the
stock voting agreement valid ano
the Delaware Supreme Court sale
yesterday only the elections of Mrs
Haley and Mrs. Charles Ringing a.
vice presidencies were legal.
Stock of show Is divided approx
mately in thirds among Mrs. Haley
