CRCUS FINDS BIG JOVENLE WELCOME Wonders, Including Ubangi Savages, Favored by . ldeal Weather. Good luck favored Washington's luvenlle population today and also the t show on THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO N, D. C, CIRCUS. GIRAFFES CAN EAT ONIONS th ideal circus weather prevailing | and new wonders awaiting them at the old Camp Meigs site, small boys and girls were in no mood to accept parental excuses to keep away from the sawdust trail which this ernoon and tomor- row leads to the “big top” of Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey, where two big circuses are combined into one. Deprived of the opportunity of seeing @ circus parade, hundreds of youngsters made tracks for Camp Meigs yesterday to see the 16 tents arise under the sweating efforts of great gangs of roust- abouts. Four trains that carry the cir- cus on its joy-spreading route through the country pulled into the nearby rail- road siding and within a few hours the elephants were munching hay and the black-skinned Ubangi savages, with lips a8 “long as a crocodile’s” were inspect- ing their new quarters. Small City on Wheels. Compered with the old tent shows that used to thrill youngsters of a gen- eration ago the modern circus is & small city on wheels. There are 1,600 hands and performers with the present combined shows, and while the day of the circus parade was banished with the advent of modern traffic problems the thrill of raising the big tents re- mains. From the hurried preparations going , on early today in Washington homes, it was apparent that mothers and fathers were just as eager as their youngsters to hit the sawdust trail again. Long before the main gate was opened to admit the crowds to the big tent, the circus site was thronged. Each after- noon and evening. the side shows and the big menagerie tent will open an hour before the 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock performances. This is usually “feeding” time for most of the animals and the thrill of throwing peanuts at the elephants comes only once a year for most youngsters. Curious Savage Exhibit. The Ubangi savages, which would have made the old time circus man green with envy, are said to be among the most curious attractions ever seen &t a circus. Their long lips, grown by artificial means, are a mark of special beauty in the wilds of the French| Kongo, whence these unusual savages come. ‘The “midway” with its scores of odd attractions, will hold forth both before and after the main performance, and there are more strange “freaks” gathered under its various tents than ‘were ever assembled before in a single show. For new beasts this year, the circus management has scoured the Jungles and zoos throughout the world, and it would take an expert to enumerate them all. ‘Today’s opening performance will be" Tepeated three times before the . city of llut:nu moves on to its next desti- pation.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., June 2.—F. W. Davis, 60, farmer, who decided early in May to starve himself to death be- cause he had grown too old to work and because he had no relatives, is in an emaciated condition in his home, at Mountain Hill, near Danville, Va. He he had resisted the efforts of neigh- bors, who have tried to change his mental attitude toward himself, and has eaten no food since May 13, though he drinks water daily. Dr. S. E. Hughes, called by neighbors to Davis' home, reported that he had been unable to prevail on Davis to eat and that he seemed determined to dle by starvation. Davis, the doctor said, was somewhat resentful over his visit and told him that he had made his will disposing of money he accumu- lated and had also made his own funeral arrangements. Davis, who is unmarried, was born in ‘Wisconsin and came to Virginia 26 years ago, having been a tobacco planter.

Fights Bad Weather—Plans Flight to New York This Year. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, June 2.—The world's non-re- | fueling flight endurance record was brought to Italy this morning by M Umberto Maddalena, who in 1928 first | sighted Gen. Umberto Nobile and the Italia survivors on the ice north of Spitzbergen. Landing at Montecelio aerodrome at 14 minutes before 1 a.m., he and his companion fiyer, Lieut. Fausto Cecconl, exceeded by 1 hour and 49 minutes the | previous record of the Germans, Johann Risticz and Hans Zimmerman, who in 1928 remained aloft for 65 hours and 26 minutes. ‘The new record is 67 hours and 15 minutes, the flight having begun at 5:31 a.m. Friday morning at Monte- celio. It was the culmination of long efforts for the two airmen, and repre- sented their fourth attempt at the world { record, three other attempts having been made in the latter two months of 1929. ‘The aviators flew over a course in which Montecelio, Ostia, Ladispoli and | Anzio were the corners. It was be- THE\'Ed that they also established a rec- | ord for distance travel in a non-refueled | plane over a given course, although their estimated distance was not made publie. The flight commenced Friday and was beset almost from the start by poor Ivh!bult) bad weather and unfavorable atmospheric conditions. The tenacity of the two aviators in the face of hard- ship, however, brought them the success with Maj. Maddalena regards as essen- tial preparation for a flight to New York later this year. ‘The machine used by the two pilots was an S64BIS Savola Macchetti plane equipped with an A-22 Fiat motor. It was a plane similar to that used by the viators Ferrarin and Delprete in fly- lm to Brazil in 1928, and the estab- iment of & non-stop distance record keni from a year later by Coste and lBellome on thelr fiight from France to { Manchuria. ‘The air ministry announced definitely that the two aviators had broken the closed course distance record of the French aviators Coste and Codos—that is, 8,029.4 kilometers—but said that the jexact distance had not been calculated yet. The take-off was attended by the greatest secrecy. Fishermen at Ladis- poli and Anzio noticed the same plane fiying about over them and spread the ‘word. Today aviation circles awaited Mad- dalena’s plans for his American flight in the same plane. It was belleved he would vell his moves in secrecy. His confidantes probably are United States Military _ Attache for Aviation Maj. George E. Lovell, jr., and Comdr. Pat- rick Bellinger, assistant to Lovell. ITALIANS SEEK BALLOON MARK.

By the Assoclated Press. CHICKASHA, Okla, June 2.—In- vestigation into mob activity which Saturday resulted in the fatal stabbing and shooting of Henry Argo, colored, today brought a statement from At- torney General J. Berry -King that he expected a number of arrests to follow an_inquest set for Wednesday. More than 100 witnesses have been summoned for the hearing into Argo’s death, who was charged with attacking a white woman. The attorney general was directed by Gov. W. J. Holloway to aid B. F. Holding, Grady County at- torney, in making an investigation. Meanwhile, a report was expected to reach the desk of Adjt. Gen. Charles F. Barrett today from Capt. E. R. Smith, in charge of a group of 30 National Guardsmen who, with tear bombs and machine guns, attempted to hold back the mob. ‘The report, containing detailed statements of the activity of the Guardsmen, was said by Smith to bear upon the manner in which the situa- tion was handled by local peace officers. Sheriff Matt Sankey of Grady County, commenting on the report, sald he had not been offered a guard for the jail after the mob dispersed Saturday. Argo was stabbed, admittedly by G. ‘W. Skinner, the woman’s husband, after the mob had dispersed and the public was admitted to the jail. Following the mailing of Capt. Smith's report, a group of Chickasl citizens met at the City Hall and pro- posed, a member of the meeting said, an informal court of inquiry to deter- mine where the sheriff had been during the time the mob was seething about the jall.
