DEADLY PISTOL Edward Kassebaum and “Bud’ Pearce Shot to Death. POLITICAL RIOT AT A POLL. THOMAS BOWLING KILLED BY WILLIAM NEUSEL. \ Three Lives Forfeited to the Politica] Animosities Developed at the Re- publican Primary in the Nineteenth Ward. Jack Williams,a former detective on Chief Desn.ond's staff, who was dismissed from the force a little less than a year ago for neglect of duty, killed two men Thursday afternoon at the Republican primary poll- ing place for Precinct Two of the Nine- teenth Ward. Edward Kassebaum, an unmarried man, who lived with his aged parents, at 3208 Burrett st., and “Bud” Pearce, a young negro stable hand, who formerly worked at the fair grounds for the late George Grasmuck, were the victims of Williams’ revolver. Williams was not ehooting at them. They were killed, Pearce instantly and Kassebaum dying ehortly after being wounded, by stray bullets. Willlams is now under arrest. That he is in the holdover reflects no credit upon the policemen stationed at the polling eg nor upon the detectives sent out by yhief Desmond when the double murder id A er) Corte a7 ry a =i een 4 = . —- es ot ae > ES eieetatee a eras a Pp 7 viet oper a ‘ i~w"¥ ie rE) i ee ‘ Bak sew af FP) pe ee ite) led $e a a o ‘ ie oe + Vv BS oe 2 { Sak Pe : ; —* = fore Maree ae ‘ 4 ad ee, *Y Mi Be \> Bear * 7 as ts jes z 1 Fath eines aris ai Be Sot 5 Ree » gh i. fo ma; eek a; ate ate Se ™ "= * . sit" hy : t . ao yy 4 4 ?

The Williams gang are said by some of the witnesses of the shooting to have gone to the polls to stir up voting for Joshua Rothschild, the opponent of Julius Lehman for a seat in the House of Delegates. Wil- liams declares he did not go to the polls {9 vote, and that’the men with him were not “repeaters.” He says he shot in self- TIM KHLLEHER. (A Police Character Who Williams.)

Williams and his crowd then walked across the street to the saloon at Grand av. and Natural Bridge rd., which is kept by State Senator Tom Martin. As they stepped from the street to the sidewalks, it is claimed, one of the Lehman heelers addressed Williams, advising him in not overchoice language to get out of the neighborhood. The w 8S were resented by Harry Horrocks, who struck the speaker in the mouth with a pair of brass knuckles, knocking him down. Then, it appears, Ed- ward Dammann, Congr onal Committee- man for the district, added the one bit of fuel needed to make the smoldering fire blaze. He fired his pistol. He says he fired into the air to call the police. Wil- lfams says he took aim at his crowd, the ball passing through Dwyer’s hat. Which assertion is the truth is imma- terial for the moment. The effect was the same, either way, attracting, as it did, a large crowd. in which a number of re- volvers were displayed. ‘ . Maher arrested Dammann and led Grand av. and Hebert st., to call a patrol wagon. While he was gone Williams and his crowd continued on their eross to Martin’s saloon, but they did rit. They forced their way through about 100 feet suddenly turned ey turned for no that wa not en the crowd and walked further north, when the and came . What one seems to know, but some say Gastrof began jeering at them. In a second Williams had jumped to the middle of the street, while Gastrof had | taken sition behind a telegraph pole on the sidewalk. Gastrof’s revolver was in his hand. ol . i rowd gathered around him, too ex ok sealine that the men had assumed posi- tions for a duel. Gastrof was about to shoot when Williams, dropping to one knee, in order to steady his aim, pulled the trig- ger of his revolver. All at once the crowd was stricken with fear. There was a wild scattering in all directions. Some men had pistols in their hands, but were too fright- ened to use them, which is, of course, for- . The only man on the block who aid not seem to be excited was Williams himself. He shot three times, and then placing the revolver in his overcoat pocket ran west on the Natural Bridge rd. His companions were close behind him, and following on their heels was a crowd infuriated men who had witnessed the shooting, and who were yelling to Williams to stop.. In this crowd was Thomas Rich- ards, who lives on Peck st., between Batley and Kossuth avs. He had his revolver in his hand, but could not catch Williams. Midway in the block between Grand and Spring avs., Richards managed to get ead of Williams’ friends, and, pointing is we at them, command them to stop. They did so, and Williams continued on hig wa He went as far as Sports- man’s Park, where he boarded a_ west- bound Northern Central car. At Taylor av. he left the car and jumped on a downtown car of the Lindell Line. Gastrof'’s revolver was out of order. He could not discharge it at Williams, al- though he did succeed in sending a bullet after him as he ran west on Natural Bridge rd. The first shot Williams fired struck Kassebaum in the forehead. The egecond hit “Bud’’ Pearce in the back, passing through the body in the region of the heart. The colored boy did not bleed externally, and when he was seen to fal] and remain motionless it was thought he had drcovped from fright. His body was placed on the sidewalk and covered with a sheet. ‘The city undertaker’s wagon was two hours getting to the scene of death, during which time the corpee Was left on the pave- ment.

We all spoke and I told them that everything there was on the square and there would be no trouble. Then John Barry called Williams a vile name and told him he had better leave. A man named Hartwig said something in- sulting and Harry Horracks knocked him down. Fd Damman drew a revolver and fired it repeatedly, like a crazy man. Pilly Jehman and others cried out: ‘Shoot them!’ At this time I don’t think Wil- liams or any of his companions had a re- volver. : “Some time after this Barry again ap- roached Williams and repeatedly insulted im. Williams started toward him. Then Barry drew a knife. Williams began back- ing, cyidently intent on reaching his wag- on. None of his companions were with him then. He drew his revolver, but dil not fire until Gastdorf drew his revolver, pointed it at Williams and snapped it. It would not work. Williams was then in the middle of the car tracks. The telegraph ole was between him and Martin's sa- oon, Kassebaum was south of the pole, and the negro who was killed was north of it, in the saloon door. Williams was as cool as any man I ever saw. I don't think he fired but three times. There were more shots fired by other pee le. Williams was shooting at Gastdorf behind the telegraph pole. Il saw three bullets in the pole. I do not see how he could have struck either Kassebaum or the negro.”’ William Neusel, who killed Thomas Bom- litz after a discussion of the Williams case, Was arrested soon after the shooting, through the agency of George Zilch, a small boy, living at 4027 N. Twenty-second st. The boy saw Neusel run from the sa- loon and hurry west towards Grand av. He followed on the opposite side of the Street. Just as the fleeing man reached the corner of Grand av. and Natural Bridge rd., the boy met Sert. Forgey of the Fifth District. To the officer he told the story of the killing and a moment later Neusel was under arrest. He was taken to the Fair Grounds Sub-station, and, on orders from the main station, removed to the station at Tenth and North Market sts. There he was seen shortly after his ar- rival and made a statement regardi the killing. He claimed that during the ehtire day he had had trouble with Bomlitz, a strong supporter of Lehman, Neusel, who Wasa ron eas oe of Rothschild, so he says, attempted to keep away from trouble, but during the latter part of the afternoon, claims that Bomlitz made an attempt to stab ‘him. In support of this story he ex- hibited a hole in his coat sleeve, which had evidently been made by some sharp instru- ment, and also a cut on his forehead, re- quiring eix stitches. Bormlitz was 26 years old and lived at 3006 N. Twenty-third set. Neusel lives at 319 Lee av. Williams was seen in the holdover Fri- day morning by a Post-Dispatch reporter. To him the former detective practically reiterated the interview he gave out in Chief Desmond's office after he surren- dered. “The worst feature about the affair,” eaid Williams, ‘‘is the company I was with. That gives the matter a bad look. “Coxey Holden was not with us. We met him on Grand av., near where the shooting took place. “We did not go to that neighborhood looking for trouble, nor did I intend taking any part in the election. We were simply out oe around, having a good time. The trouble that did arise was not of my mak- ing, nor of any of my companions. ‘Somebody fired a shot and the bullet went through ‘Bullet’ Dwyer’s hat. Then the police made an arrest. Then Jack Barry came toward us and said we could not vote there. He drew a big dirk knife and started toward me. I backed off and said I did not want to fight. It was then I saw a fellow I euppose is Gastdorf. I saw him go into his pocket and draw his pistol. He leveled it at me and snapped it. 8a Ww that I must either shoot him or be shot. I drew my revolver and fired at him. He sprang behind a telephone pole in front of Martin’s galoon. I do not see how I could miss both him and the pole. I saw no negro there at any time. I have not seen this waste man, Kassebaum, who was shot and killed.”’ Williams said he went on the police force in March, 189, and in less than a month he was promoted to be a patrolman. In less than a year he was doing especial duty and was made a detective. Though he was an efficient officer he was before the Board four times. TDast May he was dismissed from the force because of the fact that he associated with rsone under the ban of the police. Williams is 27 years old and single. He is a handsome fellow, with a frank, open countenance, and a magnifi- sent physique. He is as bold as a lion and is liked by everybody connected with the Police Department.

CHOATE'S SPEECH, Ambassador Choate’s speech at the Chamber of Commerce banquet Wednesday was well received. It pleased the Brit- thers immenseiy, probably because it was “so American, you > Bmow.” Anything odd or unusual or droll which can get )itaelf labeled American is sure of a hearty reception in London, Ge Gad the odd or unusual or droll without the Transatlantic ohn, ae stive would be rejected with scorn. . Choate made it very clear to his British friends that was overflowing with love for them, and he rightly Il ted them and the world on the peace assured by the ht and will of the English-speaking nations. the speech, in taste and statesmanship, was below the i fixed by Lowell, Phelps and Hay. There was plenty of i humor, but it is not necessary for the American Ambas- to gush. The two nations are on good terms, and we they will always be friends, but why protest eternal love M@ devotion whenever the wine is red? Let us have a little self-restraint. cA Telegraph Lines of the World.—There are 1500 submarine aha tAegraphs in the world, the total length being 170,000 miles. .

The rise of the athletic and muscular woman has simply made the contrast less striking. The sexes are becom- ing more equal in appearance as regards physical strength, It is not on record that while the young men of the Roman Empire became effeminate the women took up athletics and outdoor sports. Had they done so, legions of Amazons might have delayed the sacking of Rome by the Goths and Huns. The degeneracy of Rome seems to have been a degeneracy of both sexes. The athletic revival of modern times is a re- vival shared by both sexes. - - Mr. David B. Hill, one time Senator from New York, is not dead, nor yet dying. In a speech at the Lotos Club dinner in honor of Chauncey Depew, he observed: “One of the best reforms that this country could have would be an amendment to the Federal Constitution which would give to the people of each State the right to elect their United States Senators directly. I recollect that a year or so ago, when I was at a gathering of Ohio people, some of them said to me, ‘In our State we have elected a business man to the Senate.’ ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘and it looks to me as if the election had taken place on business principles.’" Mr. Hill has a very good under- standing of public affairs for a statesman out of a job. a = se wy IN DEFENSE OF THE CITY. At the meeting of the Bar Association in the interest of the World's Fair, Mr. James L. Blair struck a note with regard to the spring elections which should find a strong response in the breasts of the citizens of St. Louis. Mr. Blair urged the necessity of the election to the Municipal Assembly of men of capacity and integrity as a necessary con- dition to the success of the World's Fair. Citizens should bear in mind that the men elected this spring will serve four years, and hence will be a part of the World's Fair Municipal Assembly. The character of the men elected to the House of Delegates this spring ‘will determine the char- acter of the Huuse of Delegates which will deal with all meas- ures affecting the World’s Fair. The character of the men elected to the Council this spring will determine the character of the Council for two years, and will greatly modify the char- acter of the Council for the remaining two years to the open- ing of the fair. If bad men are elected to the Council this spring the redemption of the Council two years hence will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. All special Worid’s Fair measures, all public improvements, the expenditure of the city’s revenues or of funds which may be raised for public improvements will be controlled by the Assemblymen elected this spring. They will represent St. Louis for four of the most important years in the history of the city. Dishonest or incapable Assemblymen, especially Councilmen, controlled by a corrupt machine, will mean.the continuation of the policy of extravagance and plunder which has stripped the City Treasury and prevented necessary public improve- ment. Dishonesty and incapacity in continued control of the Council and House will intensify public distrust and will block all plans to secure increase of revenues for needed public im- provements or the improvements themselves for which the or- dinary revenues economically expended would provide. The World's Fair will find the city sunk in the mire, without streets, sewers, lights, and a prey to municipal plunderers. Never was.there greater need of municipal reform. Never was the necessity of it so manifest. Never were the re- sults to be gained of such tremendous import to the people. Ifthe World's Fair is to be saved and the city put in order for the visit of thousands of strangers the citizens of St. Louis must get together regardless of political opinion or party affiliations, for the interests of St. Louls. They must down corrupt machines, defeat dishonest or incapable candidates, or candidates with any taint or suspicion of machine domina- tion. The interests of St. Louis must be put above all other in- terests in the coming elections. Work and vote for St. Louis and the World’s Fair. Now is the time to begin. >= = = i a “I know that the lobby is here, and I know that it resorts to improper methods,”’ admits Mr. Barnett in complaining of the suspicion from which honest members of the Legislature may suffer. The lobby should be driven out at once and severely punished for every one of its offenses. It would not then be possible for any innocent member to be suspected. ~~. wre If the American eagle should hold his peace when the Briti#h lion roars, as Mr. Choate has just said at a London banquet, a great many Americans do not know it.

If you want to help “the young lady bookkeeper,”” who has so much trouble in getting on the cars, to say nothing of a seat after she gets on, I think you can ooryn pee, eRe the athes young — as wee as the other patrons by urging ep of Dr. Farars bill, now before the Terts- lature, prohibiting any transportation com- pany from collecting more than half fare, avhere they fail to provide seats. If this bill shall become a law, you will see at onee that the companies will put on suffi- clent cars to furnish seats to all. It is a crying shame that these com- panies, whose franchises are worth millions of dollars, and which have been a free gift he the city, should be allowed to soa run heir cars as to force about one-half of the assengers to stand up on the early trains n the moreing and late in the evening. This hardship falls heavier on young or who are employed in the stores and fac- tories and who are alteady worn out with the day’s work. The well-to-do can pick their hours, when the cars are not crowd- ed; but the working people, who must be at their places at certain hours, have no choice; it is stand up or lose their jobs.

I think if each child In every public and private school in the State should bring 5 cents to be given to the Louisiana Purchase po- sition fund, it would amount to quite a large sum, and in return each child would get a little badge, showing they were help- ers to the fund. It would be a very nice souvenir, and I know their little brothers and sisters at home would also want @ badge, and that would help increase the fund, and the badges could be left at evV- ery school with the principal or teachers to be distributed.

(Age 10, Pope School, Roem 10.) A Cynical Bachelor. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I noticed in your editorial column an article entitled “Matrimony and Length of Days,” stating that a “Chicago woman had begun a crusade against bachelors to con- vert them into husbands." I*think she would be in much better busi- ness trying to prepare members of her ow® sex to make companions for bachelors, She says “bachelors die because they are 6tu- pid, half-savage creatures, and nf hy- giene and discipline. A bachelor would be much better ‘off married than single, though he lives as a stall-fed ox.” f that is so, what does she want with a bachelor? Simply to snatch him bald-head- ed, perhaps. Now, I study books to know how things ought to be, and woman to know how things are. In fact— “I started out tn hope and youth, To find a perfect wife; But now I find, to tell the truth, She doesn't extst in tife.”’ Women are becoming entirely too bold to make good wives. When a woman ceases to blush she has lost her greatest charm. Drug store blushes are only made for #4ap- headed dudes and will neveg catch a sensi- ble bachelor. Ladies should be amiable, sensible and modest; then there would not he half so many bachelors and belated ens in the country. maid A CONTENTED BACHELOR. St. Louls rters for Judges of Appeals Court.

A little later Mr. after the had been ciosetod with Mr. Muench and the creditors for a tew mo- ments Mr. Muenoh reappeared and, looking at Mr. Tate, said: “Well Mr. Tate I you are no longer in it.

Mr. Muench, however, said: “We sold Becker just what we bought. We guar- amieed him nothing. There is no doubt in the world though that the League will recognize him just ae they would recognize any other reputable person who might have bought.’ The sale carries with it all “the stands and property now in Sportsman's Park, a leyear lease of the grounds, and the right and title to the follow!ng ball players: Pitchers—Hill, diughey, Carsey, Sudhoff, BStivetts.

St. Patrick’s Handicap, for three-year- olds and upwards, at a mile and a six- teenth, will be the féature of Friday’s card at the Crescent City track. Sexty-two horses were nominated an4d weighted for this stake, but only five ac- cepted the imposts assigned them, a poor compliment to the ability of the handi- capper. The five horses left -. ae Handsel 121, Forbush 100, Al Fresco , Joe Sheiby 94 and Brighton 90 pounds, Of these, Al Fresco has been gradually edging for a race, and the St. Patrick may be the one he is intended to win. The racing situation at Ingleside justifies the opinion expressed in this column that the end of the police interference was not yet in seght. Four races were run off Tnursdavy in a perfunctory way, Dut the bookies and groundlings who ignored the prohibition to bet were speedily scooped by the police dragnet, taken before a mas: - trate and placed under bonds for fut good behavio or and appearance. On Thu dav afternoon the Ingleside, authorities an- nounced a tponement of the Californ:a Derby unti some day during the next meeting at gees which opens April 3. The Derby will probably be decided on the Oakland track. The postponement of the Derby is in the nature of a calamity to the owners who had “prep’d’”’ their horses in thé expectation that It would be run off on echeduled time. Postponements hurt races, boxin OF bouts and all kindred apertins fixtures alike, and the California Derby, ich promised to be the most interesting classic ever decided on the Coast, wiil now probably dwindle down to a four- horse contest. Friday’s card at Ingleside is proof posi- tive that horse owners and trainers have but little hope that it will be run off in its entirety. There are but five entries in the third event and four in the fifth. Cor- rigan will again attempt a double main with Sardonic in the third and Tyro in the Guallala, a pretty piece of racing bric-a- brac, should carry off the concluding event of the card, if the police do not peremptorily close down the sport, hurdle race Winnie O’Connor captured this century winning mount at the present New Orleans meeting Thursday when he piloted Jim Conway home to victory. O’Connor ts so hopelessly in the lead that it is weary work keeping tab on his rivals. Burns and Troxler rank second and third in the list of Crescent City winning jockeys, but both are absentees from the track. urns is at Memphis exercising the Schorr string and Troxler has been ruled off for life. The most promising youngster in the list is Odom, who appears to be the coming light- weight of the younger division of the New Orleans riding talent. 'VARSITYS AND HIGH SCHOOL. They Played a Tie Game at the Ice Pal- ace Thursday Night. Washington University and the High) School played a tie game of hockey Thurs- | day night at the Ice Palace, which, for in- dividual moves and general sla ap-bang, rip- roaring vigorousness, excelled any other game of the season. Sterling, Captain of the Washington team, was ill, and unable to play, so Dickson “substituted” for him. Clarence Gamble another ‘‘forward’’ man, was also iil, and John Menoun played in his place. Dickson's regular place on the team was taken by Bob Kaime, and naturally, with the seven pate mixed, the team work was decidedly o08e. Both High School and the University were out for bear and after five minutes hard playing in the first half, blood was up all round, and each man playing for all there was in it. Billy Dillen. who always does the best: individual work on the Washington seven, carried things all his own way when he got the puck—which was as seldom as the High School could manage. The little chaps from the Grand av. school really put up @ remarkably stiff! game and showed euch decided improvement in thelr team work that sympathy was with them from the first. Their rooters were out in full force and each brilliant play was applauded vigor- ously, while the opposing teasn from the Law school] seemed to get the “hot end’’ of it. The only accident of any moment oc- curred when Erskine of the High School stopees the puck with his face, as one of the Washington University heavyweights lifted it for a long distance goal. Sample and Forshaw did some fine things for the “Hi as did Menoun, Blodgett and Paul Dillon for the Washington Uni- versity. Paul Dillon says Thursday's game was the “cleanest” he ever played.

So" (ame 4 _ =e. - a . at = = ms. ee Electricity Cures. - Most of the fearful ailments of life ‘ean be traced to a derangement of the me 18 system, generally originating in “ Ky : of the genitive organs. Every ‘gut r wants a cure that will effect a mS in the easiest, quickest and least : a manner; therefore, I do not enter wpon a lengthy discussion and long ae winded treatise as | to the cause of your trouble, resort- ed to by quacks, who only do so to confound and fright- en you. You are probably well aware of the cause of your present weakness. Drugs and the ordi- nary courses of treatment will not cure you — probably you are aware of this fact to your sorrow. Electricity will speedily, safely and surely cure you sound and well again, and it is posi- tive if you will ap- ply this important element of life through the agency of Dr. Beanett’s Electric Belt. Wiectricity is the Nerve and Vital Force of every man and woman, and without it, you could not live a moment. When there is a lack of this Electricity or Nerve Force in the system, you can never be well and strong again until it is again supplied. Nature will not sup- ply it, for Nature has been imposed ypon and refuses to act. I will forfeit $1000 if my Electric Belt does not gene- rate a genuine current of Electricity that you can immediately feel—is four times stronger than any other belt on earth.

Free—Handsome THE LOBBY. HAS ‘LOST GROUND, Farmer Legislators Are Ar- rayed Against It. SKIRMISHES IN THE HOUSE. STRENGTH OF LOBBY THROWN AGAINST STOCK YARDS BILL. Another Test Was Made on the Ins»r- ance Anti-Trust Measure, and in Both Cases th» ‘‘Influence’”’ Was Routed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JPFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 17.—The lobby was more than usually active yester- day, but it made one false move and lo-t ground thereby. It showed its hand, which is always a bad thing for a lobby to do. Members who have always heretofore pro- ceeded on the theory that no lobby existed, are now fully aware of its presnce at the capital and are aroused against it. The farmers are particularly indignant at the lobby and are determined to down it. The falze move was made in connecticn with the bill fix®mg rates to be charged by stock yards. This is peculiarly a tsriier measure, although many members who are not strictly farmers favor ‘it. The lobby made up its mind ‘o kill the bill yesterday, as it was on the cal- endar for passage. Early in the afternoon agents of the organized sou began opera- tions. They got members who are frien:i'y to the bill out of the House on any pre- text that could be used successftily. he friends of the bill allowed themselves to be led into the trap unwittingly. When enottgh of them were scattered in the hails and committee rooms to insure the defeat of the bill if it were brought up, George T. Lee of Carter County moved that the House proceed to the third reading of House bills. The stock yards bill was the first bill in this class. The motion was adopted. Bohart of Clinton and Fitzgerald of Gen- try were in a committee room figuring on their list of supporters for the bill, when Prather of Atchison, the author of the bill in great excitement, came rushing out an informed them of what was going on. They hurried into the House and were as- tounded to find that the enemies of the Dill had rushed it to-third reading and were about to vote on it without debate. Bohart got the floor and moved to lay the Dill over informally. By this time the friends of the bill had hustled their supporters back to the House, and Bohart’s motion carried, The friends of the bill had expected to take up the bill during the day, but when they counted noses they found that, ownig to a disaffection pmone Southeast Missouri farmers, who expect lobby support for a bill establishing an insane asylum in thelr section, they hadn't enough votes to carry the bill through, and would require time to get their people back in line. The effect of this dodge of 'the lobby and the enemies of the bill was to create a sen- timent of deep resentment among the friends of the bill, who are now more than ever determined to pass it. It has shown them what the lobby can and will do when it is pushed hard. ‘And those members who professed to doubt the existence of a lobby are now thoroughly convinced of its pres- ence at the capital. “There is no doubt,” said Mr. Bohart after the skirmish was over, “that the lobby deliberately planned to take snap udgment on us and it nearly sticcecded. am one of those who used to contend that there was no organized lobby here, but I know different now. But this trick to-day has only made me more determined to do all I can to secure the passage of the bill.’’ The friends of the bil) declare they will repay the members from Southeast Mis- sourl who deserted them in order to get votes for their insane — bill, y voting down that measure. Ina conference of Southeast Missouri members called to consider the deal with the stock yards peo- ple, Dr. Dalzell of Webster County toid them that they would make a bad !:iunder if they took such action. He warned thein that they would lose more friends than they would gain. The second proomeanee of the lobby was as unsuccessfu the first. Late in the afternoon, just fore adjournment when more than half of the members wer away from the House, the Farris bill, extending the provisions of the anti-insur- ance trust law to the St. Louis and Kan- sas City Boards of Underwriters, which has passed the Senate, came up in the House for second readi and reference to a committee. A similar bill introduced in the House was referred to the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence where the lobby has succeeded in keeping it. The friends of the Farris bill were therefore very anxious to have it referred to another comumiiitee and in fact the Chairman of the Commit- tee on Criminal Jurisprudence, Mr. Hamil- ton of Daviess County was ready to move that it be sent to another committee. When the bill was read, Mr. Hall of Sa- line asked that it be referred to the Com- mittee on Judiciary, which will report on itina hurry. The Speaker so referred it. At that’ moment Mr. Mann of Kansas City the special friend of the insurance trusts entered the House and learned what was going on. He arose and moved that the bill be referred to the Committee on Fire Insurance, of which he is a member. He was unsuccessful. Mann made a bad impression by his move, as he hag been se closely identified with the trusts, that his appeal for the reference to a com- mittee of which he is a member was taken by many members as an exposure of his de- sire to get the bill where he would have an increased chance of throttling it. On motion of Mr. Hall of Saline the bill was then laid over informally. The farmers are teaching the lobby some tricks. When the railroad lobby thought it had the 2-cent fare bill out o27 the wa i: began taking a hand against the stock vards bill, as was shown by its ill-advised move yesterday. There are many farmers and other members who du not want a 2?- cent fare bill, who do favor the stock yards bill. The action of the House this morn- ing in reviving the 2-cent fare bill and put- ting it on the calendar is mere'y the inno- cent farmer's method of gerv'ng notice on the railroad lobby that !t must keep its fingers out of legislation chat does not af- fect its employers. THAT $40,000 APPROPRIATION. To Be Available the Bill Must Be Amended. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 17.—The appropriation of $40,000 for the St. Louis Insane Asyium wrung from the House by Representative Tom Walsh, will not be effective unless its friends secure an amend- ment when the bill reaches the Senate. The Supreme Court has decided in a sim- llar case than a bill appropriat.ng money for the St. Louis Iinsane Asylum to be constitutional must specific@lly state that the appropriation is for the maintenance of “State patients’ in the in- stitution. The item as at present contained in the bill does not so rg f This came about through a mistake of Dr. Wilson of St. Lous. om Walsh's amendment was correct in phraseology, but it asked for only $30,000. This was in keeping with an Agreement made by Walsh with the ex- (onfederates and the friends of other insti- tutions who wanted support for their in- terests, Dr. Wilson was not satisfied with this amount, and offered a substitute ask- ing for $40,000. But he failed to specify that the money was for the support of State patients in the St. Louis Asylum. Tom Walsh went to St. Louls last night to consult w.th Health Commissioner Starkiof’ and other city officials about the appropriation, He has been informed that unless 8t is can show that it is a fact that patients confined in the St. Louis Asylum, and produce to all callers to-day and to- | are list of them, the appropria [ill stand very ttle Ghance of adoption ‘5 .

POLICE CHIEF TOLER DEAD. THE FIGHT WAS LED BY TOLER AND SHERIFF WILLIAMS. 6 Culmination of a Bitter Political Feud Growing Out the Mayoralty Con- ‘test Between Democratic and Citizens’ Candidates. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 17.—Five men dead and one dying is the result of a battle in which 50 shots were exchanged on the main thoroughfare of Hot Springs at 6 o'clock last night, between oppos.ng polit- ical factions, one side headed by the sheriff of the county and the other led by the City Chief of Police. The names of the dead follow: T. C. DOLER;, Chief of Police. J. E. HART, city detective. THOMAS F. GOSLEE, city patrolman. LOUIS HINKLE, brewery wagon driver. JOHN O. WILLIAMS, son of Sneriff Wil- liams. Four of these men were lying dead on the street wnen the firing ceased, and the fifth —jonn O. Williams—died at ¥ o'clock.

John Will- jams, it is said, firing three shots into his body. Goslee fired as he fell and d.ed be- lieving he had killed Williams. Wilill.ams did not die, however, until 9 o’clock to- night. He was shot through the head, the ball entering above the ear and lodging in the train. Hinkle was «hot tarough the head and body. These bullets are supposed to have come from Ed Spear, who was shooting at H:nkle. When the news of the terrible tragedy was conveyed to the homes of the dead men the shrieks of anguish from their wives, mothers and sisters were heartrend- ing. Besides his father, John Williams leaves a mother and three grown sisters. Goslee leaves a widow and children, the youngest being an infant. Toler had no relatives here. Hart leaves a widow and’ children, and young Hinkle, the innocent victim, leaves relatives here. As to the origin of the first difficulty, in which the Sheriff, his son and Sergeant Goslee, were concerned, Goslee made this Statement. His story was told before the second fight took place. He was shot dead in that engagement. “I walked over to where Bob and Dave Young were standing, talking,”’ said Goslee. “Bob (Williams) produced a piece of paper. On it were some names, amo them mine. Pointing to these, Williams said: * "These are the people who held a caucus in the office of the Chief of Police this morning against Belding, and I want to know what you mean by working against “I replied that I was not unfriendly to Belding and had taken no active part in the campaign. Williams called me a liar, a coward and other opprobious names. I told him that I wanted no trouble with him; that he was the Sheriff of the county and that I would respect his authority, etc He then made a movement as if to draw a pistol, and I placed my hand on mine. I again told him that I wanted no trouble with him, but that if forced to I would defend myself. At this juncture Dave Young stepped between us, saying: ‘**Boys, this will not do.’ “I walked away, and when I reached Judge Kirk’s office I noticed Williams and Dave Young struggling in the street. Some one cried, ‘Look out!’ and I saw Williams raise his pisto] and shoot. He fired four times before | fired at him. I shot twice at him. Then John Williams, the Sheriff's son, ran across the street and emptied his pistol at me. I retreated into the alley- way. Sheriff Williams declares that when he met Goslee, the latter accused him of be- ing an enemy of Chief Toler. ‘He says that Goslee drew his pistol and would have killed him had not Dave Young interfered. “I was unarmed, said Williams, “and so informed Goslee. When Goslee left me I went up to the City Hall corner, where I met John, my son. About this time Goslee appeared on the street. I hear that he fired two shots and ran. John handed me a pistol and procured another from a friend, and we both opened fire on Goslee as he ran up the sidewalk. The shots went wild.’’ The nomination of a Citizens’ ticket to oppose the one named by the regular Dem. ocraits was the beginning of factional dif- ferences that culminated in the tragedy, Excitement has been running at fever hea ever since the Independents decided to put a ticket in the field, and charges and counter charges of political treachery have been freely made. George fRelding. Jr., is the Democratic candidate for Mayor. Opposing him, on the Citizens’ ticket, is Capt. C. W. Frey. R. L. Williams, the County Sheriff, was an ardent advocate of the candidacy of Beld- ing, for whom he worked day and night. Chief of Police Thomas C. Toler was just as strong a Frey man. It is said that he was not specially opposed to Belding until he learned that Belding was opposed to him. and then he joined the ranks of Beld. ing’s bitterest opponents. Williams and Toler naturally were an- tagonistic toward one another, though no open rupture occurred between them. Still, but little was needed to Kindle the fire of their enmity into the deadly conflict that marked the culminatien of the feud. —_——_—- > TROUBLE MAY BE RENEWED.

One feature of the show that is gratify- ing to persons who like a clean, hardy dog, not too large for house pet and not too small for service, is the exhfbition of black and tan terriers. Fifteen years ago the black and tan was as popular as the fox terrier is to-day—not the toy black and tan, with pop eyes and a hoarse voice —but the reai biack and tan. He is a saucy, active brute, intelligent as a collie and as game as a bull terrier and very strong: an ideal ratter and capable of be- ing taught to bunt squirrels and rabbits. This dog seems to be coming into fashion again. He ‘'s well represented at the show. Chicago Knockout got the nue pecee in this class for dogs. but Dr. H. T. Foote’s Per- fecto—winner of second prize—seems his su- perior in several respects. The Irish water spaniels are attracting 4 | good deal of attention because they look so much lke a Houdan chicken. are admirable retrievers and powerful swimmers. Better duck dogs are not bred.

The dear little, soft eyed, gentle faced Cockers seem to be the favorites with the children and those of the women who have no fad about dogs. They are ideal pets, docile anda intelligent and good to look at. If you want an ugly dog for a pet, and one that looks wiser than Solomon ever was, the long-eared Scottish terr‘ers will sult you, down to the ground. There are some at the dog show that apparently know everything that ever happened or ever will and are disgusted with it all. Jim, the mascot of Battery A, Is as genial as ever, but he doesn’t like being chained, There is another bull terrier Just over the way that he wants, to debate a personal t with. mThere was a great crowd at the show Thursday night and another is expected this evening. PART OF A DIABOLICAL PLOT. Toulon Conspirators Meant to Blow Up Two Magazines in Two Nations. VIENNA, March 17.—It is de :lared here that proofs have been found that the re- cent disaster at La Goupran, near Toulon, where a magazine was Dluwn up, causing the loss of 60 lives, was purt of a diabolical scheme which originally included the de- struction of a mugazine at St. Petersvurg. Early in the morning of the day on which the La Goubran explosion occurred Gen. Kouropatkin, ths Russian Minister of Wer, received a cipher iclegram informing him that both mad iZides would be 3190Wn up within 24 hours. Jen. Kuuropatkin imme. diately drove to the maz -tine, rousea the guards and had the workmen make & ciose | examination of the magazaire thus averting | a disaster similar to that #hichn -ccurred in France a few hours later.

Only One Section of the Terminal Bill Attached to a Petition Signed by ‘Many Property Owners. A delegation of property-owners in city block 2651 wae present at the meeting of the Railroad Committee of the Council Friday afternoon to protest against the passage of a certain bill drawn in favor of the Terminal Railroad Association, and in- cidentally to expose a trick, which alleged agents of the association had employed to secure signatures to a petition urging the passage of the bill, The bill was introduced at Tuesday's meeting of the Council. It consists of two sections, the first giving the association permission to lay tracks through Atlantic st., and the second providing for the va- cation of Atlantie st. and all: the alleys in block 2581. Last Monday a man made the rounds of the shippers in and about Cup- ples Station with a petition to be present- éd with the bill at its introduction before the Council, urging that the Terminal Asso- ciation be granted its request. Nearly all the sh.ppers signed it, They have just discovered that they didn’t know what om 4 were signing. The copy of the bill, which accompanied the petition, was restricted to the firs section only. Nothing was said about the vacation of Atlantic st. and the alleys, The property- owners have bestirred themselves and have received letters from the Mansur-Tibbetts Implement Co., the Simmons Hardware Co. and Jacob Furth, who signed the pe- tition. Mr. Simmons says frankly that he was duped into signing the paper. The property-o omar who would be af- fected by the passage of the bill say they were not consulted by the agents of the association. They claim that is the sixth time, within nine years, an attempt has been made to sneak the same bill through the Council. CITY HALL MACHINE VICTORY.

THE ARNOLDS’ LOSS IS $2000. DIAMONDS AND OTHER JEWELRY STOLEN. me ee ee Two Other Houses Entered—In One of Them Two Society Young Men Mistook Each Other for the Burglar. ‘As smooth a cane of “porch-climbers”’ las ever operated in St. Louis are engaged Mn plying their vocation in the West End, land the residents of that portion of the ty whose houses are built with protruding veatibules are particularly careful to lock the windows accessible to that class of Sitar Three homes enjoyed visitations of this rt Thursday evening and from the simi- farity of methods used in each case it would seem the perpretators were identi- cal. Mre. A. Arnold, 3933 Westminster pl., Mr. lao. H. Mead, 3417 Franklin av. and Mr, Sam Rayburn, 535 Vernon av., were the unfor- tunates. and the amount of plunder ob- ned by the burglars varied from nearly 62000 worth of jewelry in the first place to two overcoats in the second, and nothing in the third. While Mrs. Arnold, her son Fred, and her @aughters, Mies mma and Mrs. Rohr, of Baliimore, Md., who is here on a visit, were dining at about 7 o'clock in the evening, a ‘thief effected an entrance to the upper ‘portion of the house by climBing up a large ipillar of the veranda and forcing a window. Once in he was undisturbed, the entire \family. in addition to the servants, being on the first floor. The room entered was Mia. Arnold's bed- room. from whence the burglar passed inio ore wveed as a living rooimn by the family. The door of this he locked, to guard | against surprise, and then procceeded to woik at his ieisure. He was interrupted by the approach of some member Oo the jhousehold, where at he made a hasty exit sin the same manner he had cone. In the Timiied time the burziar had heen in the heuse he had thoroughly rersacked the drawers of a secretaire in the living ro~m, irom whech he secured cthite a handsome amount of plunder. So far as known, five diamond rings, a gold necklace and four expensive bracelets, the property of Miss Hmma Arnold, and four shirt studs, be- longing to her brothers, im addition to sev eral pieces of Mrs. Arnold's jewelry, were taken. The rapidity of the man’s depar- ture is shown by articles which he dropped in his flight. Mr. Arnold estimates that the loss will approximate nearly $2000. The police have @ccurate descriptions of the stolen goods, and expect to vary the monotony in this Mestance by the capture of the criminal. The recipient of the second visit, Mr. FE. . Mead of 3417 Franklin av., is of the opin- on that his particular caller came also while his family were at dinnen and find- ing the front door leading to the porch entered and helped himself to two fine overcoats, the property of Mr. Mead rack. The Meads cons‘der themselves for- ftunate to have gotten off so lightlv. since st wouki have been a comparatively easy wnetmer for the thief to have gone over the entire house with but slight fear of detec- tion. This case was not reported to the police, Mr. Mead being disinclined to enlist the aid of that department. At Mrs, Rayburn's home the burglar suc- ceeded ‘n wetting away only with himself, land he had a close call at that, for he nar- rowly escaped capture at the hands of two young men. Mrs. Suridge, Mrs. Rayburn'’s daughter. had occasion to go down to the kitchen about 9:30 o'clock, when, to her horror and Surprise she saw the figure of a man crouching by the door of the pantry. Mrs. Surridge didn't stop to play Editha to the Man's Burglar, but, screaming at the top of her voice, turned about and ran up Stairs where, after managing to gasp out that there was a man on the first floor, she promptly fainted. In the room at the time were the Mesars. neh Rayburn and Harry Niemeyer, and th were moved by s'milarthougchts.

PATRICK. BANQUET OF THE KNIGHTS. People of All Nations Wearing the Green—Arrangements Complete for the Big Parade Sunday. This is the 1505th anniversary of the birth of St. Patrick, the patron gaint of the Emerald Isie. The day is being generally observed by the sons of Erin throughout St. Louls. To many it is a glorious holi- day because of the memories that surround it. From early morning the wearing of the green was in evidence everywhere. Not only Irishmen but hundreds of men, wo- men and children of all nationalities wore a bit of the color emblematic of old Erin. In the various Catholic Churches masses were said in honor of St. Patrick and prayer offered for the future well being of lreland’a loyal people. Solemn high mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, commencing at 10 o'clock Friday morning. The services were elab- orate and impressive, but withal simple and devoid of undue osteristation. The mass Was sung by Rev. Father E4d- ward lL. Fenton, pastor of the Visitation Church, assisted by Father J. T. Foley rector of St. Cronin’'s Church, while Rev. P. J. Byrne of St. Theresa's, acted as sub- Michaei’s and Father Thomas Mullen of St. Michaels and Father Sullivan were masters of ceremonies, Rev. P. W. Tallon of the Holy Name and Rev. E. A. Casey of 8t. James were the deacons of honor. The panegyric was preached by Rev. John Lyons of St. Leo's Chureh. It was an eloquent address and commanded the utmost attention. Father Lyons referred in giowine terms to the nobie Wife of St. Patrick, his herolo work in converting a heathen naton to Christianity, without shedding « drop of martyr’s blood. The seed of Cirisvanity had grown to a gigan- tic tree, ita branches spreading over the entire worid.

That it will be a great success is a foregone conclusion. On Sunday will occur the big parade. Father T. Dempsey, who is grand marshal, saye ‘everything is in readiness for it.

Most of us have seen the play many times with divers women in the role of Marguerite Gauthier, but none of us except those whose mem- ories run back to the fifties ever_ before saw the characters clothed as they are in ‘Miss Nethersole’s production of the piece. Acting on the suggestion of Mme. ern- hardt she has made it a costume play. The men wear the pegtop trousers, ruffled shirts and the women the poke bonnets and crinoline of 3 years or 6o ago. The inno- vation is pare’. @ matter of taste and in- tended to gratify the public’s craving for novelty, for *“‘Camille” is a play of the al- Ways present. It must be said, however, that Miss Nethersole has two strong argu- ments that justify her in costuming ‘“Ca- mille” in the garments worn at the time the play was written. The first is that that period was a sartorial epoch. Powder and patches and small swords and knee breeches had gone out, but crinoline and ruffles and snuff boxes lingered, and shield bosom shirts and lain cu and scanty skirts had not come n. It is good and inetructive to see the kind ofgarments that were worn when our randfathers were dashing young bucks. he second reason for giving the play ‘“‘in costume’ is that the people like it that way. Miss Nethersole’s Marguerite Gauthier is, in the estimation of the writer, greater than that of any living woman not excepting Bernhardt. The most admirable feature of the Nethersole art ig her accurate differen- tian of character. Her Camille is as dif- ferent from her Carmen as a camelia is from a tiger lily, and Doth differ from her Mrs. Tanqueray and her Beatrix as those two differ from each other. Her Carmen is a dusky beast-eyed reveling in sin for sin's sake, her Camilie is a blue-eyed Magdalen who loves one man well enough to sacrifice her own love and his in order to spare the heart of his pure sister. Miss Nethersole draws her character lines with a firm, true hand. She impresses on you that Camille is an unchaste woman who is rified by the fire of a grand passion; at she is doomed to die and knows it and yet has no fear, and she sends you away full of ad- miri pity for the woman who loved 60 well she could reject love. It was a great piece of acting. No detall was omitted that could tend to form the idea that it was Marguerite Gauthier on the stage and not an imitation. There were real tears. real nose blowing, real coughing and a real red nose. Mr. Revelle payed Armand. He seemed nervous at times but Was very strong in the third act when he denounces Camille and flings money at her. The other mem- bers of the caat Gid acceptable work. ‘“4- mille’ will be the Dill the remainder of the engagement. ——— of | VOSS TSSESSSSSSESSSSES SESS SESS SSSSSVSSSSVSSS VSS SSSSsSossssssssses VEssssesete The Young Man’s Fancy HE young man’s fancy is supposed to sprout especially well in the spring. It is said to turn to thoughts of love, but why not love of clothing? At any rate, we have some things here that appeal to young men at this particular time. Nothing is dressier than a spring overcoat—and, besides that, you need one at this season. These coats are not as costly as one would think to look at them. They are very handsomely finished, but the prices are quite as low as one could expect, and, in fact, a good deal less than similarly good garments can be had for elsewhere.
