SHRINE CIRCUS ONONEWHER Police Develop a New Streak of Efficiency and Cut Rest of Wheels Out The widely advertised Shrine Circus which opened in Eliz abeth City Tuesday night for a week's stand is running wobbly on one wheel. The police put sticks in the rest of the wheels Wednesday after noon And now the circus is thumping along hoping to get to the end of the week some how. ll seems that tile local policn au thorities have deveh ped a ltaw knowledge of law all of a sudden. The Shrine Cirrus lias advertised for weeks to give awnv an nuto-i mobile to the holder of .1 lucky number, eontrary to all Slate laws, and no one made a move to stop 'hem. ?>ne of the rottcnest carnival aggregations that, ever pitched its tents in I'asipiotank squatted on the '?'air ali last week and ran every kind of gambling device from crap to shell and pea. Nohody stopped them. The police walked about the grounds. sworn to keep the jieaee. but with no authority to lay holds on a gambler. I'.ut they lit In on the Shiiucrs' froiie Wednesday afternoon and In stentorian tones proclaimed. "No wheels of chance shall turn to night !" And when they cut the paddle wheels out of the Shrine (Mr ens there wasn't much of a circus left. The vaudeville show that is supposed to furnish the main amuse mints for the Shrine Circus is a sorry show, to say the least -about as tntteh of a show as one could cx pert for the price of admission, n dime. The nearest thing to it circus Wednesday night, with nil the v. lu-els shut down, was an alterca tion between Shfluer Jack Mumleii and Night Officer Winslow. Offi ecr Winslow showed up at the main entrance and started inside the tent. Mr. Mirden was on'the door and demanded to see his ticket. "We're not running a free show," said .Mr. .Mt'.ndeu. "I'm here to search your tent," said the officer. "You'll show me your search war rant before you search anything here." ? >:i<' worn iouoweu auoincr mm both nu n pur up a sort, of an imita tion of wanting to fight. Rut good natured Shriners into:uiiimI. the officer was admitted. anil Mr Mim ifen was shown a place to spit. T!ie Shriners are very laiieh em barrassed as a result of polite in terference. They went into a ileal with the eirens company to put on a show her with a lot of panics of elm nee. such as usually accompany sueli things, for I lie money they ?bought the affair woiihl releas ? for charitable purposes. It was agreed an? oiiv: other things that pari of the profits should ?n to the Woman's ?'Inh. the Shriners keeping only a part of tlie profits for their own Charity work. The Shriners didn't know they were getting Into a law Im?akiiig proposition. In faet the law has iieen hroken so freely and so often by the riff-raff that comes to town, that everyhoily thought that there wasn't a piece of 'he law left big enough to hrcak. Mcmliers of the Klizalieth City Shrine Cinh are highly ineenseil over the ad ion of the police. "It isn't like we wer running this thins for the money we get out of it; we don't owe anybody a cent and we are not asking any one for anything. We slaved tills circus for charity only, fifty per cent of I lie net proceeds to he devoted to local charity. Maybe we didn't make enough fuss about that. Itut Masons and Shriners are not in the habit of Mowing about their char ity: for instance. Shriners don't blow alioiit the faet that they put out a million dollars every year for the relief of crippled children In America. And they don't Idow ahold I lie fact that they spend thousands of dollars annually for tIn* care of orphans and for the iMliieatlon of worthy lioys and girls who might otherwise lie denied educalional op portunities. The city authorities knew what we were putting on when they first granted us permis sion to hold the Shrine Circus. It is also well known that similar at' fairs have been put on in leading towns all over Virginia and North Carolina without Shriners being branded as a lot of skins and gamb lers. A similar circus in Durham recently cleared over .0 for charitable purposes in that town. If would be interesting to know how much is being spent for charity by these opjioscd to this particular Shrine enterprises?" Don't neglect your eyes. See Hathaway. He knows. adv.

He said that only a few days previous he ami I lie other ministers had discussed conditions ioid compared notes, and all were alike discouraged: tile a million was no) confined to any one church. Nor was it confined to any particular group in the church, said Dr. Wilson. He said It existed thru and thru and from top |o bottom.
