Gas Belt Circus License Tightened In Anderson
In Anderson the city council, prompted by the Eagles lodge, passed an ordinance raising the circus license to 2500 dollars and restricting operations for a year. The measure blocks a carnival at the fair grounds during the week of June 30 through July 4, conflicting with the Forepaugh Sells show. Authorities note circuses struggle to enter the gas belt before late season as promoters form leagues to bar fairs until after carnival season. Also in Indianapolis the state board of health declares a smallpox epidemic and Kentucky quarantine is briefly suspended. Buck Wheeler’s death sentence remains set as the Supreme Court refuses a hearing or stay.
