FOUGHT ALL OVER THE YARD. BUT HE FINALLY CAPTURED THE FIERCE NEGRO. Then He Sat on the Thief, Searched Him, Recovered His Property, Tied the Fellow and Sent for a Policeman. After a desperate, hand-to-hand battle, 8. J. Weigel of 2837 Washington avenue c2p- tured a negro burglar and tied him to the rear porch Wednesday morning at 4:30 o'clock. Having secured his man Mr. Wel- gel calmly recovered his own property and took a watch which he guessed the fellow had stolen somewhere else. It was a rough-and-tumble fight all over the back yard between Mr. Weigel and the burglar, and no weapons were used on either sidé until the negro was subdued, when Mr. Weigel held him in subjection by a free show of a big revolver. s#ut when Mr. Weigel attacked the negro he had no knowledge that he was not armed, and he appreciates now what a tremendous risk he ran. At the time he did not give it a thought. He was bent only on eapturing — ee the maraucer. The capture was so complete and so clev- erly and gallantly accomplished as to be aimost amusing in the telling. The home of the Weigels is a stone front house, the first floor of which is about 10 feet from the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Wei- A hall runs to the The kitchen windows are fully 10 feet from the brick-paved yard, and the wall under them is smooth, seem- ingly affording no chance for a burglar to climb to the sill. But this particular burg- lar was wise enough to provide himself with an accomplice. The kitchen window was down, but not locked, and there is a sliding screen. The blinds were open. It is evident.now thai he burglar climed upon the shoulders of his associate and thence through the win- dow, which he could easily open. One of the roomers in the next house saw another negro in the back yard just before the burglar was discovered in the Weigel house. At 4:30 o'clock it is almost broad daylight. About that time Mrs. Weigel was aroused. Sitting up she eew a negro just jeaving the room in’ the dtreetion "6? fic “kitehen. She was too frightened to utter words, but she managed to awakin her husband by an inarticulate cry. Mr. Weigel awWoke just in time to catch sight of the form as it passed through the door. lt was crouch- ing, and Mr. Welgel thought it was his niece, who had come downstairs for some- thing and was returning. By. this time Mrs. Weigel had found her voice and she screamed that it was a burglar. Mr. Weige! rolled out of bed and dashed after the retreating maraudcir. The burg- Jar had taken the precaution to unlock the kitchen door opening on the back porch, but had neglected to unlock the screen door. He started to run with a palrof Mr. Weigel’s trousers over his arm as soon as he heard Mrs. Weigel’s scream. He ran against the screen door and lost a moment getting’ it uniatched. As he dashed through. Mr. Weigel, barefooted and in his night clothes. was right at his heels. The negro leaped to the back yard and before he could recover himself Mr. Weigel took the jump and Janded on the negro’s buck. A desperate struggle ensued. The negro fought lke a demon, but Mr. Weigel notwithetanding his 530 years, has never go over the athietic training of his youth. They fought al! over the yard, but the negro finally jerked loose and ran for the rear fence. Mr. Weigel was too quick for him, and as the negro laid hold of the top of the fence, Mr. Weigel’s hand closed on his coat collar. Yanking the negro back. Mr. Weigel sought to throw him down, But all the fight was not out of the fellow, and another struggle ensued,more desper- ate than the first. “siee (/ rolled all over the yard, into the ash-pile, knocking over s and barrels. Finally Mr. Weigel saw an opening and promptly knocked his man down and sat on him. This took the starch cut of the burglar and he ceased resistance. In the meantime, Mrs. Welgel, expecting ‘every moment to eee the negro draw a re- 'volver or a razor and kill her husband, had | shoes in stood on the porch and ecreamed. Her cries roused everybody in the house and just about the time Mr. wy oop had the negro conquered, his nephew, M. Pierce, who is the leader of the orchestra at Forest Park Highlands, came rushing down to the scene. Mrs. Weigel got a revolver from the room and gave it to him. Under Mr. Weigel’s direction Mr. Pierce sat down on the negro’s back, revolver in hand. Mr. Weigel got a rope and tied his hands and then tied him to a post support- ing the porch, so close as to prevent any chance of escape. He then sent one of the roomers for a policeman. A patrol wagon and two officers came and took the burglar to the Fourth District Station. After he had tied the negro Mr. Weigel searched him. He recovered his wife's pocket book containing and took be- sides a ailver watch which he found in one of the negro’s pockets, and which he sur- mised had been stolen in a previous raid. Mr. Weigel was determined to make a com- plete job of it once he began. The negro was barefooted, having left his the alley. He begged to be al- lowed to put them on, but Mr. Weigel would ' not allow it until the policemen came. “] realize now that I ran a great risk.”’ said Mr. Weigel, ‘“‘but at the time I thought The Sentence Upon His Second Con-. ! viction Worse Than Before.

James M. Anderson’s Name Added to the List. LAST SEEN ON JUNE 1. HE CAME TO ST. LOUIS FROM LITTLE ROCK. Was Well Supplied With Money and Has Completely Dropped Out of Sight — His Wife Much Alarmed. Another name must be added to the start- ling list of mysterious disappearances which confronts the St. Louis police. James M Anderson, a prominent and prosperous business man of Hot Springs, Ark., came to St. Louis the morning of June 1, registered at the Terminal! Hotel, paid his bill and left in the evening. From that time to this he has not been seen or heard from. His wife is frantic with sus- pense and is convinced he has met with foul play. Nothing is known of Anderson at the Ter- minal Hotel beyond the bare fact of his having stopped there one day. His name is on the book under date of June 1, and there is a record of his having paid his bill. Clerk aaecene, who was at the hotel Wednesday, said he was not on duty on June 1, and he could give no in- formation about Anderson. He said it was not likely that the clerk who was on duty would remember him. A telegrams from Hot Springs to the Post- Dispatch says: a eS Andersce wrote his wife on Termi- nal Hote! letterhead, His wife is aimost frantic over his continued silence, believing him to be the victim of foul play. ‘“‘Anderson returned from am extended Bu- ropean tour a few months ago, having vis- ited while abroad his parents and old home in England. He has been a resident of this city for twenty-five years and for the past seven or eight years has beer: prominently connected with the Arlington Hotel. ‘When he left he etaied he intended to soon cpen in this city an auction house and had to make some purchases in St. Louis before doing it. He has a wife and two children.’’ There is no intimation from Hot Springs that Andereon wes given to dissipation or habits that might lead to his falling in with evil associates in St. Louis.

True, a driver for a laundry wagon, found a roll of bank checks amount- ing to $4360. He restored the checks to the owner and received as a reward the sum of 25 cents in silver. The name of the man who lost the checks is Melvin. True did not learn his initials nor the address. The laundry driver was at Fourth amd Chestnut streets when he saw a well-dressed man drop a roll of paper on the pavement. He picked the checks up and called after the man, who was walking rapidly away. The checks were restored to the owner and his joy at recovering posses- sion was so great that he gave True a quar- ter.

Now the Bruegels and the Oldendorfs Are Airing Their Disagreement Before Hanley, J. P., in a Suit for Damages. Justice Hanley set to work Wednesday to get to the bottom of the troubles that have set one family against another at 2002 Caroline. street, and resulted in a guit for damages. The case has humorous aS- pects but there are grave features to it also, one of which points to a revival of a practice that brought the old system of justice courts into disrepute. Mrs. Margaret Bruegel, a widow, owns the two-story house 2602 Caroline street, and iives there with her two daughters, Ida and Polly. Her son Gus lives with his wife, Dr. &. Bruegel, at 2051 Easton avenue. As Mrs. Bruegei's family was too smal! to occupy aj! of the house she rented the first floor to John Oldendorf, who has a wife, a daughter dnd a son. Both the gon and the daughter are students of the piano as an instrument calcuiated to shed glad- ness and light through a household. Miss Ida Bruegei is a pianist of great skill and she teaches others how to bring out the giadness and light. Thus, it would seem the Oldendorfs and the Bruegels were happily joined under one roof. Miss Oldenhorf, whose first name is Sa- loma, is a stenographer, employed by the Sanders Engraving Co. She earns her own money. She left at liberty to take music lessons, and naturally she took them from Miss Ida Bruegel. Her brother Irwin didn’t take lessons, but he pegged away on his piano industriously, beginning usually at 6 o’clock in the morning. In Jariuary last there. was friction be- tween the two families. Miss Saloma Old- endorf quit taking lessons from Miss Ida Bruegel and engaged a professor to teach her how to make music. Shortly thereaf- ter Mrs. Bruegel developed a distaste for piano music as purveyed by her tenants and she complained that early morning practice disturbed her and deprived her of her rest to an extent not to be endured. There were various bickerings and finally on May 11 the Oldendorfs were given notice to move. Mane pecelss it, rented another house and he @n who moves furniture to call. Then the Brnegetwpat in a claim for back rent and wouldn't let the moving man take anything out of the house. It is claimed that they said they had an eens on the goods which they did not ave. There was a sharp controversy. The Old- endorfs claim that there were threats of violence from the Bruegels, particularly Miss Ida Bruegel, who, they say, said the Oldendorfs’ furniture shouldn’t leave that house except over her dead body, and Gus Bruegel, who had come over to see that his mother had her rights. - The Oldendorfs hunted up Lawyer Be Reinberger and he brought suit for them against Mrs. Bruegel for $500 damages. The Oldendorfs are still living at 2602 Car- oline street, and meanwhile the rent on the other house is running on. The most serious features of the case is the claim that a man who represented him- self to be a constable called on the Olden- dorfs and stated that he had an attach- ment on the furniture. No such attachment was ever issued, and it is claimed that the statement that it had been was a ruse to frighten the Oldendorfs into paying what Mrs. Bruegel charged that they owed ner. This trick was frequently played in the old days before Denny Devoy’s Justice of the Peace law went into effect. Constables or pretended constables forced many a ten- ant to pay rent with only a bare pretense of legal form, This is the first case of the sort that has come into public notice since the Devoy law went into force. Another serigqus feature is that of unlaw- fu] detainer. ut the serious features were overshad- owed at the trial by others that sometimes made Judge Hanley hold his fan in front of his face to hide a smile. Mr. Oldendorf was the first witness. He told how he rented part of Mrs. Bruegel’s house about a@ year ago and how his wife was notified to leave on May 11, and how they were not permitted to leave and how he thought he had been sued, but wasn’t. Mrs. Oldendorf was the next witness. She is a brown-eyed firm-chinned woman of #0 or possibly 45 years, and a perfect willing- ness to tell all about the troubles of the two families. Mr. Stuttemeyer, attorney for Mrs. Brue- gel, had a hard time with her all along. She said the sole cause of the controversy was the fact that her daughter quit taking music lessons from Miss Ida Bruegel. “Why, until Saloma engaged the profes- sor,”” said Mrs. Oldendorf, ‘“‘she couldn't practice enough to suit Mrs. Bruegel. After that Mrs. Bruegel gaid she cowWdn’t have music in the house in the morning; it dis- turbed her. But Miss Ida plays and sings every morning at 6 o'clock.” “Sings, too, does she?” said the Judge. ‘‘Yes. sir; I should say she does sing.” “She's a bird?’ said the court. “Yes, an early bird,’ responded Mrs, O!d- endorf. . Miss Ida Bruegel, who is large and has a plump white vantage above the band of a low-cut or gandie dress, leaned forward and whispered to Lawyer Stuttemeyer, who was cross-ex- amining the witness. “What about your son playing?’ said Mr. Stuttemeyer. ' “He quit playing because Mrs. Bruegel objecteg,”” sa:d Mrs. Oldendorf, sharply. After the matter of piano playing had been discussed exhaustively, the subject of certain flowers that Mrs. Oldendorf was allewed to bave damaged was gone into. The families both reised plants in their com- mon yard The defense tried to a out that Mrs. Oldendorf trampled on Mrs, Brue- gel’s flowers while taking up her own. “T didn’t do ‘t,.”’ she said. “Il am too fond of flowers for that. I dearly love flowers.”’ “Were the flowers planted separately?’ said Attorney Stuttemeyer. “You don’t suppose they grew om top of each other, do you?’ retorted the witness tartly. Then Mr. Stuttemeyer got angry and abandoned the yo into the floral department of the Oldendorf-Bruege! feud. He went into the matter of the expense Mrs. Oldendorf had gone to in cleaning the new house, preparatory to leaving the old, After this there was a long colloquy about bath tubs and gas stoves and the difference between a water cock and the faucet of a hydrant. Mrs. Oldendorf cume out of it all with flying colors, for when she anewered all questions in her own Way and occasion- ally shot one back ai the lawyer. She per- sistently referred to Miss Ida Bruegel as “that girl over there.” The lawyers got into a controversy just as Mre. Oldendor?f left the stand and the court was moved to say: ; “Gentiemen, | wish you would try the .

Miss Saloma Oldendorf, who has big, dark eyes and an ongee little mamner of speech, repeated the history of the piano lessons. R. Schatz, a friend of Miss Saloma, testl- fied that the Bruegels had told thhim that they had an attachment on the furniture. The witnesses for the defense testified in the afternoon. Justice Hanley awarded the plaintif® a verdict of $150. HAVE HO WORD ABOUT SILVER ‘ Pennsylvania Democrats Also Ignore} the Expansion Ques- tion. HARRISBURG, Pa., June 14.—For the first time in many years the Democracy enters upon a State campaign assured of the success of at least a portion of its ticket. This is due to the condition gov- erning the election of two Supreme Court judges next November to fill the vacancies caused by the death of Judge Williams and the retirement of Chief Justice Sterrett next January. No elector is entitled to vote for more than one candidate for this office, and as there will be two elected, each of the great parties will get one. Gov. Stone will probably appoint the Democratic nominee as soon as his nomination is cer- tified to the State Department, in which event he would rank the nominee of the Republican State convention, which will not meet until August or September. Ex-Congressman Simon P,. Wolverton and Superior Court Judge Smith of Scranton, are leading candidates. Representative Wm. T. Creasey of Columbia is almost certain of the nomination of State Treas- urer. ‘All indications point to a two days’ convention. According to pla the silver question and expansion are t0 be ignored,the conven- tion pledging faith to the platforme of the st. the appointment of M. 8.

PARIS, June 14.—President Loubet re- ceived M. Poincare this morning for the purpose of intrusting him with the task of forming a new Cabinet. The interview between M. Loubet and Poincare lasted half an hour. In reply to the President’s request that he form a Cabinct, M. Poincare declared that for several years he had kept aloof from poll- tics and party strife and was wholly un- prepared to accept under the present cir- cumstances the responeibilities of the premiership. M. Loubet, however, insisted on pointing out that just for these reasons all factions of Republicans would accept his leadership more readily, adding that both the President of the Senate, M.

The trial of Mrs. Myrtle Degnap of 2838 Chestnut street, this city, at Sedalia on the charge of attempting to abduct Annie Rogers, the 16-year-old daughter of Engin- eer George F. Rogers, resulted in the dis- charge of the defendant. W. A. Wright and John Heyman, travel- ing salesmen for the 8S. H. Wright Cloth- ing Manufacturing Co., who also figured as principals in the episode, pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and were released on the payment of court costs It appears there were na grounds for Rogers’ accusation beyond the suspicion created by Mrs. Degnan, who was regis- tered at the Hotel Sicher as Mrs. John Heyman, inviting his daughter to call on her. Mrs. Degnan returned to S8t. Louits Wednesday morning greatly chagrined oyer the incident at Sedalia. The statement of the unpleasant Incidents attending her visit throws an entirely new light on the case. “I went to Sedalia Sunday to meet Mr. John Heyman and W. H.

AT BROOELYN THE ROBBERS BROKE THE SEAL. Two of the Plunderers Escaped, But Frank Miller of St. Louis Is in Custody at the East Side Station. A series of wholesale robberies that have been puzzling the Big Four Railway off- cials on the East Side for several months, owing to the fact that the company’s em- ployes were unable to fix the identity of the robbers, were at least partially explained by the clever capture of Frank Miller, one of the robbers, in the act of looting a car at Brooklyn at 9 o’clock Tuesday night. ‘Miller was caught by Chief of Police Hauss and Sergts. Tom Walsh and Jim Cooney, who were locked in a car of mer- chandise in East St. Louis and under the gwulse of ‘‘hoboes,”’ = before the train left the yards on the Levee. It was the custom of the robbers to “epot’ a particular car of merchandise while loading in the East St. Louis yards jand note the leaving time of the train in which the car was “made up” and then watch its movements until the train ar- rived in Brookiyn. If the hour was after nightfall and the train stopped in Brook- lyn for orders, the thieves at once broke the seal of the car-door and usually un- loaded about half of the contents before the train -pulled out of Brooklyn. The stolen merchandise was undoubtedly dis- posed of in St. Louis. This much was ascertained by Chief Hauss after a careful summing up of the situation. Tuesday the Chief was ready for action and unfolded his scheme to Ser- feants Walsh and Cooney. The officers enlisted the aid of the Big Four night yard crew and secured permiss:on to be locked in the “‘spotted”’ car of merchandise due to leave the Bast Side at 9 o’clock. The officers stationed themselves in the car and the ‘“‘sealer’’ fastened them in. The engineer was given instructions to stop at Brooklyn for orders, the Chief and his assistants assuring the trainmen that they were not particularly desirous of ‘“‘hoboing”’ further than that point in a closed freight car, with the mercury in the 9a. Accordingly the train came to a dead stop in Brooklyn. Before it had slacked up entirely, however, Chief Hauss, Walsh and Cooney heard a peculiar noise at the west door of the car. It was somebody at- tempting to break the seal. The attempt just then was a failure, but the thieves— there were three of them—climbed. over the car and renewed their efforts at the east door. By the time the train stopped the seal of that door was broken. Then the door was opened and suddenly a pair of hands were observed in the starlight searching for a hold and the. next instant Miller was in the car. The policeman was ready for the emerg- ency. The officers made a rush for the robber in the car and he whipped out a revolver. It was levelled at the chief, but Sergt. Miller was pinioned by Walsh and Cooney. Chief Hauss was aware that only one Man would climb into the car and that the train could stop only five minutes. had to act quickly. Jumping from the car he seized one of the two men on the ground, but the prisons gave a lurch and the chief secured only his hat. The other one in the meantime darted under the car and was followed by the man whose hat the chief had secured. By this time the train was moving away and Chief Hauss clambered back into the car and the three officers rode to Granite City and left the train with their prisoner. Miller is being ‘‘sweated’’ by the authori- the robbers who escaped. Miller is 27 years old and says his home is in Bloomington... He says he married a Bloomington girl five years ago, but they separated and he drifted to St. Joseph, Mo., and thence to St. where he secured employment in St. Louis wire mills. It is gaid the Brooklyn band has robbed Big Four cars of at least $%.000 worth of merchandise in the last six months, MRS. LAMBERT WILT ILL Wife of the Absconding Bohemian Bank Cashier. A letter from Kartsuz, Bohemia, received in St. Louis Wednesday, states that Mrs. Lambert Wilt is very ill with tuberculosis and cannot recover. Wilt was an absconding bank cashier and was arrested in the. dinin room of Hotel Rozier, this city, on Oct. 31, 1898, by St. Louls and Chicago detectives. While in St. Louis Wilt spent his money freely and the couple made many acquaint- ances among their countrymen, Wilt was extradited on a requisition from Austro-Hungary. He confessed and was sentenced to six years imprisonment in the Kartsuz Penitentiary. .

The ruing rise on 'all sides from splintered boards and broken trees to a great heaped-up pile, in the cen- ter of which once stood a row of store buildings. All about are the wrecks of other business blocks, with thelr wares scat- tered everywhere. . The tornado utterly wiped cut four solid blocks of stores and business bulldings. The Main street bridge lies a twisted maés _on the bank of the river. It was caught up from its pinions without leaving a trace of how it was torn-eaway.

Dead horses are ecatiered all through the busi- ness portion, Where they were Killed by fly- ing timbers as they ran, frightened, from a livery stable. Splintered buggies, parts of the stocks of dry goods and other merchants’ light wares, limbe of trees, stove legs, wires and every conceivable object, is littered about with timbers, biicks and mortar, whicn once | formed buildings. Almost every person who was here has at ' least one scratch as a memento of the tor- ‘nado, and scores with heads bandaged and arms in slings are to be seen climbing over ruins, disputing as to what buildings stood over this and that mass of ruins.

At the time the tornado struck the oown was filled with citizens and country people and the streets were thronged. About 6:40 o'clock a heavy thunder storm came up from the southwest. It rained heavily, witn severe lightning. The result was to drive every one indoors. The storekeepers threw their doors wide open and the people flocked into them. Following the rain came the tornado. It was observed far off in the southwest by the people on the streets and in doorways.

Trcuble Is Due to the Refusal of the Smelting Combine to Obey the New Law for an Eight-Hou: Work Day. WASHINGTON, June 14.—Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the American Su- gar Refining Co., was examined by the In- dustrial Commission to-day in connection with its investigation of trusts. His testi- mony related almost wholly to the sugar industry and he opened with a vigorous at- tack upon the customs tariff, which he de- clared was the “mother of all trusts.”’ be- coming such by providing “inordinate pro- ) y tection. to manufactured articles. This at- tack was made in a written statemept, which he read. Mr. Havemeyer eeserted that a tariff of 10 per ce it Was as high as any tariff should be. He contended that sugar is discrimi- nated against im the tariff in the interest of the Louisiana cane growers, the beet sugar makers and the sugar growers of the Ha- waiian Ielands. To these interests, he con- tended, the United States contributed $24,- W,000, which was taken cut of the pockets uf the people. ‘The protection on sugar amounted to only one-eighth of a cent a pound, or about 3 per cent ad valorem. li ought to be twice as much. “What the su- gar refining business thas paid or is paying represents nothing more than an adequate return on the capital invested,’ he said. What Congress shovid have done was to have put an internal revenue tax om the American’ production of sugar. The repre- sentations made in Congress concerning thie trust, he declared, were untrue; if it were a fact that the people suffered from trusts they must blame the proiective tariff sys- tem beyond the one-eighth of a cent given.’ DENVER, Colo., June 14.—The — three thousand employes of the trust smelters in Denver, Pueblo and Leadville, walked out at noon to-day after having extinguished the fires in the big furnaces and put everything in perfect order for a season of idleness. Within 48 hours, it is predicted, most of the mines in Leadville, Aspen, Creede, Ouray and the other mining camps of the State, with the exception of Cripple Creek, will be closed, throwing thousannds of miners out of employment. The low grade metalliferous mines of San Juan County already have been forced to cease operations by the strike at the Du- rango Smelter. All shipments of ore and fuel to the smel- ters have been ordered stopped. As a re- sult many coal mines are preparing to re- duce thelr production and some will close. Almost every industry in the State will be affected. The strike is due to the refusal of the American Smelting and Refining Company to pay the same wages for eight hours as it has paid heretofore for ten or 12 hours, or in fact, to negotiate with the smeltermen's union concerning a scale to be paid under the eight hour law which becomes effective June 15. The smelter employes rejected the offer of the smelter owners to continue to work at the present rate of wages until the con- Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, June 14.—Just what const!- , tutes a ependthrift is the question the jury in the Benedict will case will have to de- cide. The action is brought by Frank T. W. Palmer to have set aside the will of his mother, Mrs Anna Benedict, which left an estate of between $500,000 and $600,000 to be held in trust for him by Fordyce G. Bradley during the beneficiary's lifetime. Mrs. Ben- edict) whose home was at No. 1385 Michi- Gan avenue, traveled for her health and Pleasure She died in Paris about three years ago. She left a will providing that her son, by a former marriage, Frank T. W. Paimer, should receive the income of the estate, about $20,000 a year, and that the estate jtself was to be held in trust and managed by Bradley until the death of the beneficiary, when it was to be distributed to Mrs. Benedict's other heirs. ,, Palmer will introduce evidence to the ef- fect that his mother was improperly infiu- enced by Bradley and a Parisian physician named Dupuy, who led her to believe that the complainant was a spendthrift and did | mot possess sufficient ability to manage so large an estate himself, It is alleged by the | defense that the complainant spent $10.- | 00 left to him In three years, and the ques- ) ton Which the jury will have to decide ~ whether a man who spent that amount Jo money in the time alleged is a spend- thrift or not.

The placing of the property in trust ‘for the use of Mr. Palmer, said Attomey Herrick, was outlined in several wills whicn Mra. Benedict had drawn in part before the making of the laet will. The life led by F. T. W. Palmer for a number of years Was aleo referred to by the counsel, who Geciafed that he should prove that on nu- merous occasions Mr. Palmer indulged. so freely in intoxicants that he was placed un- der medical care. These escapades, Attor- ney Herrick declared, were known to Mrs. Benedict, who, he eaid, for years attempted to devise some plam where by she could rotect her son from himself, and was dnali forced, by the realization of the opeless nature of the task, to place the fortune, which should have gone to her gon, beyond his reach.

ONE WAY 10 FIGHT TRUSTS. St. Louis Convention Will Be Asked to Agree to a Bar Against New Jersey Corporations. AUSTIN, Tex., June 14.—One of the ques- tions to be brought up during the anti-trust convention in St. Louis, called by Gov. Sayers, will be that of New Jersey charters, and it will be proposed that an agreement be entered into between the States repre- sented to refuse admission to all corpora- tions phe. under articles of incorpora- tion obtained in New Jersey, or in any oth- er State, which, like this, makes a practice of granting franchises to all sorts of asso- clations without regard to their purposes or tendencies. It is futther understood, also, that a movement is being inaugurated to put the Democracy of Texas on record as being op- poses to the granting of charters to none out Lapel ges corporations, ard an effort will be made at the next State Convention to pledge the party to a repeal of the pri- vate corporation act.

NEW YORK, June 14.—The dismembered body, portions of which were’ found float- ing off Rayriage and along the Brooklyn ahore, has been identified by Thomas Clark, a life-saver at a Coney Island bathing es- tablishment as that of one of a party of three sallors whom he had seen at the beach on Friday. They had spent the after- noon in the water and on the beach with three women. Two sailors of the ship Othello, which ar- rived here from Newcastle, New South Wales, May 9, identified the body of the man as John Johneon, sometimes known as Mdward Johnson. one of the Othello’s crew Jcehnson was paid off, they say, and went ashore with $14 in his pockets. He admitted freely that the company all possible to advance its own busi interests. He did not think the corporativus were under obligations to the different States, but that the reverse was true. Capital and labor, he stated, would all adjust themselves if let alene. Tne only way to prevent competition, Mr. Havemeyer testified, was to keep prices at a mjinimum— not necessarily im the irterest of the con- sumer, but as a matter of business. He re- ferred to the trust laws of some of the States as premiums on dishonesty, speci- fying the Missouri law. There were always two classes of people in a community—tne industrious and those who wanted to live off them. e Replying to a question by Prof. Jenks after he had concluded the reading of hie paper, (Mr. (Havemeyer said the American company was capitalizing for much less than it was worth. ‘But for the clamor against truets,”"’ he said, ‘it could be sold for three times its capitalization.’’ Yet he thought the refineries could be duplicated for $35,000,000 or $40,000,000. ‘‘The present ca- pacity of the trust is,” he said, ‘'45,000 barrels a day, and the output 390,000."" He thought the trust was refining about 90 per cent of the sugar refined in the United States. The witness spoke freely of the method¢ of the company in preserving and extending its business. Of the earlier history of the enterprise he said he did not fight the Harrison Refinery at Philadelphia. ‘But we had to fight Spreckels when he came into the field with his enonmous plant. We We had to or suspend our dividends. We went into the fight and we kept it up until we got the refinery.’’ The late drop in the price of sugar had been caused by the starting of new refin- eries which had threatened to take § per cent of the business. “It was a part of our policy to put prices down and let the Soper take the result whatever it may re. Mr. Havemeyer then went on to say that what the company did it did not do for mo- tives of philanthropy—that it had its own shareholders to protect. “‘Anybody can Buy our stock,”’ he continued, “and as a conse- quence the public owns the stock. But I doubt whether any one would want any of the stock of the independent refineries.”’ “How many stockholders have you?’ asked Prof. Jenks. ‘A bout 11,000,"" he replied, “enough to take Case pee they would take it if they could.” The latter remark was made in a light vein. He stated as his opinion that the Cuban eugar should be brought in free of duty and that this course would bring refined sugar down to 3 cents a vound. Speaking of the coffee business, Mr. Have- meyer said he was in the business, and in it to stay. M'LEAN WOULD BE GOVERNOR. Announcement Made by the Ohio Dem- ocratic State Ohairman.

We say the old way, but really it is a very common one at the present time and many dyspeptics and physicians as wel] consider the first step to take in attempt- ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecing certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity usually taken, in other words the starva- tion plan is supposed by many to be the first essential. The almost certain failure of the starva- tion cure has been proven time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes its appearance a course of dieting is at once advised. All this is radically wrong. It is fool- ish and unscientific to recommend diet- ing to a man suffering trom dyspepsia, because indigestion itself starves every organ, every nerve and every fibre in the body. What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome well cooked tood, and some- thing to assist the weak stomach to digest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patient eats plenty of whole- some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets digests it for him. In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, be- cause the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat or eggs. Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Tablets is the purest and safest ge for stomach troubles and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent preparation.

He gave a s&s ry of the results ob- tained from experiment upon a man in the respiration calorimeter. These experiments were conducted by a committee of fifty for the investigation of the drink problem. The progress of the experiment is offi- cially described as follows: ‘Pure alcohol was administered with wa- ter or coffee. The alcohol was taken with an ordinary diet of meat, breed, butter, milk, sugar and the like.

Too often moderate use leads to exces, and that excess resuits in physical, mental and moral ruin. The apparatus used in the experiment kind commonly employ was of the same ein imenta on human b 5%. in food exper surprised to find Prof. Atwater was not that the moderate use of alcohol, tn the form of whisky, wine, beer, or in any palatable shape was hbeneficial—that it pro- duced energy and prevented waste. A “Food has two chief uses,” said Prof. At- water. “One is to bulld up the body and keep it In repair, the other is to supply it with energy for warmth and work. Al- cohol is similar to the fats, starch and sugar. in that it cannot form tiseue, but it does yield energy. It cannot be used to build the Bodily machine or to repair it, as it is worn out by cons can and does serve for Cuei. Prof. Atwater startied his meeting when he declared that alcohol in moderation was a food and not a oleon. He asserted positively that the 9 talk against strong drink was only the ault of erroneous experiments. Special tf tne Post. Diapatch.

There has been plenty of demand for the products of the convicts’ labor. Prison superintendents report that the convicts even take pleasure in their labor. Besides this, the system removes thé opportunity for a great deal of corruption connected with the contract system, and at the same time satisfies the demands of free labor. The success of New York's experiment in managing convict labor hes caused Pennsylvania and Massachusetts to adopt similar laws. Why should not Missouri follow so excellent a precedent ? = = Presidents and Generals have accepted the gift of a home, but Admiral Dewey is not influenced by such precedents. His idea that the home intended for himself should be made a retreat for sailors will not create surprise. It is characteristic of the man. i i A SHAMEFUL SITUATION. After overrunning a large section of the Island of Luzon, the American army finds itself back in Manila fighting desper- ately tu hold the defenses of that city. Commander John D. Ford, fleet engineer of the Asiatic squadron, who has just returned to this country, says: “When I left Manila May 9 we held not quite as much ground as was ours during the first part of August last year, and our lines were restricted to the suburbs of Manila.”’ That the situation has become still worse since Commander Ford left will be seen by reference to the map printed in the Post-Dispatch, showing the battleground where Lawton is surrounded by Filipinos. A few months ago all the territory along Manila Bay, from Cavite to the city of Manila, was in American possession. Aguinaldo’s army is intrenched there now and Lawton is having a hard fight to dislodge them. Is the political blunder of criminal aggression to be followed by a military paralysis? The island can be conquered if men enough are employed. But there seems to be no energetic in- telligence at Washington ready to take the responsibility of acknowledging that the war is hopeless with a small army. Military men insist that an army of 75,000 or 100,000 must be sent out, but the President seems to be afraid to face the difficulty he himself has created. Gen. Miles might put some life into the nerveless gang, but he is “in political disgrace,”’ and therefore his talents are not available. The situation is shameful. We are sinking into a morass of syndicate politics in which decency and honor, to say nothing of material welfare are completely lost sight of. Who will pull us out? The President of Guatemala is trying to buy arms from the United States Government to put down an impending revolu.~ tion. To be consistent with our expansion policy we should seize Guatemala and all the other little American republics that have revolutions. They do not know how to govern themselves and it is our duty to teach them, though it is only 34 years since we had a great civil war of our own, _—j >i i i OPPRESSION OR FRAUD. In organizing a trust the first act of the promoters is to vastly increase the capitalization of the combined plants. In order to pay returns on this increased capitalization it is necessary that the earning capacity of the combined plants be greatly increased. The expense of production must be reduced or the price of the trust article increased. As most of the trusts have at least doubled their capitalization, there must be a corresponding reduction in force or wages, or both, or a cor- responding increase in prices; that is the producers, con- summers or workingmen, or all of them, must be oppressed. If the earning capacity of the combined plants is not or cannot be increased to give fair returns on the increased cap- italization, then the capitalization is a fraud and the pur- chasers of certificates are swindled. Let those who have honest doubts as to the ethical character of the trust as now organized and conducted, study this dilemma. The small boy is ‘full of determination to join the navy. He will have to keep in mind, however, that if he is ever to be accepted eas a fighting seaman he must have the health and etrength that.come with good habits. Any boy can fight Indians, but a battleship sailor must be an able-bodied person. =! ~~ wa There are thousands of Mr. McKinley’s party who woulé have started the “judicious modification” of the civil service two years earlier than he has undertaken it. To a man out ofa job such deliberation appears inexcusable. What other states- man would not have known at once what to do? Should the Spanish prisoners in the Philippines have to be ransoimned before we can release them from the Filipinos, it will be quite clear that we have not made any such progress in the war as has been claimed for us by the manufacturers of Administration news. = = From the first the proceedings of the Peace Conference should have been given in full to the newspapers. Suppression of news belongs rather to war than to peace. It is an old Euro- pean Labit, however, and itis not to be shaken off all at once. > — aS The Suburban loop tangle strongly suggests underground roads for downtown streets. Constant vigilance is now the price of life on a number of corners, and the danger is every year increasing. ooo Swe The Postoffice clerks are calling for more pay, and the Federal kids who every day congest in the small space al- lotted to the newspaper delivery may presently be heard in a similar way. It seems to be much easier to get the truth about the Philippines from a retiring officer than from one who is hop- ing for advancement. - = = = i i 4 POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. A law is wanted that will give the gum trust lockjaw. St. Louis ia to be Western headquarters for the manufacture and distribution of tobacco. And that is no pipe story. The St. Louls boarders will have to take a turn about at watch- ing all night for burglars if they expect to find their trousers in the nmeurning. It is to be hoped that the Humane Society will not have to be chloroformed before there is peace in the matter of the disposal of cats and dogs. Mr. McKinley's officeholders can find more expansion sentiment among the people than could a brigade of the mest hustlesome newsvaper reporters. The lion is evidently aroused in the bosom of the Pennsylvania husband who has brought suit asking for $7.50 damages for the alienation of his wife's affection.

It ix reported that the Shah of Persia is mentally and physically incapacitated and spends his time playing with telephones. Mental and physical incapacity is usually the fate of persons who fool much with telephones. - With the approach of the terrible Fourth it is well to search the emall boy who may have on his person torpedoes which he hopes to explode in the echool room. A great deal of corporal punish- ment, which is opposed by all schoolboys, may be prevented by such a precaution. The Chicago man who acquired lockjaw by dancing on the por- trait of hi@ wife's first husband confirms the opinion of the elder Weller, who constantly warned his son Samuel to beware of the widows. There is no law compelling the discarding of portraits of fret husbands, and the matter of the retention should be fully considered in any matrimonial matter in which a wihiow is the chief figure. - - |S ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. ot and my husband always troubled i [paabeeece ceo 7 =] Ee Sion ’ : . ae T noe He .

The Street Railway Consolidation bill which the Governor is etudying so hard Is @ masterpiece of cunning and impudence. It egitenct Apetreccncregornentiphar §, tbplisaginn t quire every street railroad in St. Louis, issue. stock without limit, and tax the peo- ple to pay dividends thereon. Competition is destroyed and the people of St. Louis are made to depend upon an absolute monopoly for transportation, a monopoly with. d the power of the city to regulate or control. out restriction and virtually beyon The Governor says he can’t make up his mind tare this bill creates a trust or not. He is opposed to monopoly but isn’t sure that this bill contemplates a se sone. of the bill is in sections 14 and 16. The iniquitous character of the measure is there stated in terms which cannot be misunderstood even by those who wish to misunderstand. The seventh clause of the 14th section provides that the corporation formed by authority 6f this act shall have power “to purchase, lease or acquire by other lawful contract, which shall include the right to purchase the capital stock and bonds of other street railroad companies, and to hold and dispose of the same, and to hold, use and operate any street railyoad or roads, with all and eingular, its or their franchises and properties of every description belonging to any other street railroad corporation or corporations.’’ This is the consummation of years of effort on the part of franchise grabbers to impose their iniquitous rule upon the City of St. Louis. But the Governor isn’t sure. Section 16 provides that “any company formed under this act, or accepting the provisions thereof, may increase its capital stock or bonded Indebtedness from time to time by the authority of the vote of a majority of the stockholders of such com- Dany ’’ What this means is clear in the light of announcements of expected issues of stocks and bonds which will bring the capitalization to about $75,000,000, or three times what the properties are worth, and that is only a beginning. Nobody expects the gentlemen interested in the precious scheme to stop short at any such issue of stock. The capi- talization of a monepoly is not limited save by the ability of the people who are com- belled to use it, to meet its exactions. But Judge Priest magnanimously procured an amendment expressly designed to pre- tect the people from the exactions of his monopoly. At the end of the section authoriz- ing consolidation this proviso appears: ‘“‘And provided further, such roads connect with or intersect each other, so as to allow eingle passage one Way over éach road for a@ single fare.’’ This, we are told, provides for transfers so that a continuous passage over ail the roads one way may be had for one fare. But in the first place it is not mandatory but permissive. Single passages for single faresare ‘“‘allowed’’ but not obl‘gatory.. The com- pany may issue transfers or not, as it pleases. However that may be, it will be ob- served that the armmendment does not provide for a single fare one way.over all roads. A single fare may procure a single passage over “each road’’ but not over all. It is not a comprehensive system of transfers that js contemplated but a very iimited systetn, and that is not obligatory under this provision. The Governor cannot find any “protection” for the public in this clumsy juggle. Not even the marines would be deceived by it. But it 18 the only compensation offered to the people of St. Louis in return for a privilege worth millions, The effect of this con- solidation section is to give away public property the value of which may be meas- ured by the amount of capitalization over and above the value of the actual plant. If the capitalization is $75,000,000 this franchise or public value is probably not less than $50,000,000. And as business increases without additional expense the value will grow. The wealth of the people is given to the corporation and then the people are compelled to pay interest on this wealth to the samé corporation. It might be useful to study the fourth and fifth clauses of the léth section of this act. As originally proposed the fourth clause empowered the corporation “to acquire by grant or condemnation a right of way not to exceed 3 feet in width over private prop- erty, and to construct or maintain and operate its road thereon.” As amended by Judge Priest and finally passed the words ‘‘or condemnation” are omitted. The fifth clause, as originally proposed, read: ‘To exercise the power of.emineni domain to the same extent and in the sammé manner as steam railroad companies, whenever and wherever necessary to extend or complete its route of acquire depvuts, power house sites or terminals.”’ , As amended and passed, this reads: house sites or terminals. Just what and how much is surrendered by these amendments? Does the corpora- tion expect to rely upon legislation already in existence for the powers not granted in these two amended clauses? Condemnation proceedings are not provided for, but may they not be instituted by authority found elsewhere? The exercise of the power of eminent domain is not autborized, but neither is it expressly forbidden. May it not be derived from some other statutory provisien? But the one grand iniquity from which all others flow is the consolidation which shuts out con»petiticn and gives the corporation sole possession of all the transporta- tion facilities in the city.

Mr. Higgins is a bachelor, living with his brother and two sisters at 239 South Jef- ferson avenue. The firm of Higgins & Co., mapmakers, of which he is the head, has an office on Fourth street. So no cares of a family have diverted MTF. | Higgins’ mind from his beloved figures and maps. For several years, and until all the em- ALSO / B oly » .

The Suburban’s track on Fourth street, from Elm street, is east of the two ca- ble tracks of the People’s Railway. At Locust street the Suburban turns. crossing the cable tracks and utilizing the National tracks to Sixth street, where its own tracks begin. The north track on Locust street is also used by the cars of the Northern Central and Union divisions of the National. Their termini is at Fourth and Locust and cars are transferred for return by means of the switches shown in the illustration. The Suburban is delayed most when the other lines use trailers in the morning and evening. Before the motor car crosses from the south to the north track, the trailer is uncoupled. When the car is switched, the trailer is pushed down on the north track,to the end. The motor car then backs over the other switch to the south track and pulls the trailer over to the north track, ready for the trip uptown. It is during this switching that the delay occurs.

A pad Lesueur in their stand of a year >. % 7. pan Pas Trouble continues at Fourth and Locust streets between the National lines and the Suburban Railway Co. One collision was the result of Wednesday morning’s maneuvers. The Union and Northern Central lines utilized both switches on Locust street in transferring motor cars and trailers from the south to the north track. This work consumes some minutes and compels the Suburban cars entering Locust street across the two cable tracks from Fourth street, to wait until it is accomplished. Suburban officials claim that the National people waste time on the switches, thus disarranging their schedufe. The congestion of cars at that point Wednesday morning was as great as it has been at any time since the Suburban utilized its loop. At one time Subur- ban cars were blocked to Pine street. When such delay occurs the Fourth street cable suffers. The close proximity of the Suburban’s track to the cable’s north-bound track along Fourth street pre- vents the latter's cars from passing the electric.’ At Locust street the Suburban motormen run their cars across the south-bound cable tracks to take advantage of any momentary clearness of the National track. This stops the south-bound cable cars, and this road suffers in the war between the other two. At 8 o’clock Wednesday morning such a situation existed. Cable and electric cars stood on Fourth street from Washington avenue to Pine street. Motor car No. 217 of the Union line was switching ts trailer. Benton car No. 346 of the Suburban road was at the head of a long string of cars waiting to enter Locust street. The motorman had been instructed to follow the Union car so closely that the Northern Central train could not get into the switch before the Fourth street congestion had been relieved. When the Union car started out from the south to the north track, the Sub- urban motorman threw on his current. The Union car was partly on the main track, when it suddenly stopped. The Benton car side-wiped it. The frail wood gave way and a series of holes, extending nearly the length of the car, was jagged into the side. The sign board above the windows’ was crushed, and the whole car knocked awry. The crowd that had for half an hour been watching the growth of the conges- tion, cheered lustily. There was a hasty conference between the starters of the different lines, but the Suburban people had no explanations to offer. Their car was uninjured. This was the second car on the Union line to be badly damaged and the fact greatly incensed the National officials. Each company claims it is doing all in its power to relieve the situation and the National people deny that they are consuming unnecessary time ,on_ the switches. : . So far there has been no exhibition of temper or remissness by employes, but the situation is acute. C SITU SIREE WEDDINGS WEDNESDAY MISS MARION RUMSBY TO DB. DELAVAN OF NEW YORE, J Who will supervise the taking of the Cen- Phe sus for St. Louis. ployes were discharged, Mr. Higgins sup- plemented his mapmaking business by working as a cierk for the Board of Elec- tion Commissioners, where his talent for Statistics and his skill in making maps served a good purpose. If Mr. Higgins is appointed census super- visor he will assume a most burdensome responsibility. As he views it, the census taker will have no easy position. Every- body in St. Louis expects this census to show an enormous growth, and if it does not, there is sure to be a protest against the man who supervises the count, whether he deserves it or not. Census taking in the past has not been very satisfactory to St. Louis. Twenty fears ago the census showed over 350,000. en years later it showed 460,000, a very small growth. There was much talk at that time over the disappointing showing. But Mr. Higgins thinks the small showing ten years ago will make the big showing that he believes will result from this census all the more satisfactory. “The census,’ said Mr. Higgins, “really should be taken by city blocks, to be ac- curate. Under that system there would be no difficulty about knowing exactly the population of various political divisions and é6ubdivisions. Heretofore, when ward lines were followed, the population of litical districts could be arrived at only by esti- mates, and were not at all accurate, be- cause, in many cases, the boundary lines ran through houses and jots and alleys. “In the growth of population, St. Louis labors under a os disadvantage in com- | ry peo particularly with Chicago, because t. Louis is separated from the county and is absolutely barred from any further rowth in area. Chicago, being a part of ook County, spreads:-herself as often as she pleases. Whenever a suburban town grows up to respectable proportions Chicago throws her boundary line around it and adds its population to hers. St. Louls can- not do tihis. She is responsible for the growth of all suburban towns around he, yet can reap no benefit from their increases in a That is the reason why, in giving the population of St. Louis, the sub- BISHOP TUTTLE OFFICIATED.

Annie Robinson, alias Smith, aliag Mel- vin, a mulatto, was arrested on the third floor of the residence of Mrs. Mary Mc- Garra, of 30 Convent street, Tuesday after- noon. @he had in her possession a bundle of clothing belonging to Mrs. McGarra.

St. Louls is the only independent ofty in the country and is at an enormous disadvantage im a census because of her in- dependence. For instance, west of De Ho- diamont, just’ outside the city limits, there is a very considerable town. It is there only because of St.. Louis, yet its ulation swells that of St. Louls County Instead of the city. Although I don’t know positively, I un- derstand there will be as many canvassers under the supervisors as there are pre- cincts, about 42%. The work must be done in 16 days, and each one will receive about 45 for his services. Many misstatements ave been made about the compensation of the supervisor. He receives $125. and in thickly populated sections $1 a thousand. That would make the salary of the super- visor in St. Louis say about $825. But there is a provision fixing a minimum of $1000, so that he cannot receive less than that amount, and it is certain he will not re- ceive more, as to give him more than that the population would have to be at least ,000. A census should, of course, be honestly taken. And it should be carefully taken. The pressure on the census official to pad his returns is necessarily great, because of local pride, but he should pay no attention to it.

Judge Marshall, in an opinion in Division No. 1 of the Supreme Court Wednesday morning, transferred the case of Nicholas J. Cox vs. John R. Barker et al. to the St. Louts Court of Appeals. This cage was cefti- fied to the Supreme Court by the St. Louis Court of Appeals, on the ground that a conatitutional question was involved. It is an action of trespass on land, the parties being cwners of adjoining parcels of land in the city of St. Louis. The plain- tiff put up a fence on what proved to be, by a survey, the defendant's land, and the de- fendant tore the fence away. The plaintiff then brought suit against the defendant to recover the fence and for damages for the treapass. . Judge Marshall holds that the title of the land will not be affected by any jud ent that could be rendered in the case. Hence he sent it back to the St. Louis Court of Appeals.

MULLANPHY BANK CASE. ————_—— — ee PROTESTING CREDITORS GIVEN UNTIL JUNE 24. _ Receiver Declares He Is Indifferent, But Thinks a Majority of the Creditors May Want the Compromise. iN The creditors of the defunct Mullanphy Savings Bank,who are opposed to the plan to compromise for $15,000 Receiver Stone's sult against the directors to recover $%0.- 000 will be given until June % to file pro- tests with Judge Wood against the pro- ceeding. Judge Wood voluntarily caused an order to this effect to be made Wednesday im- mediately after Receiver William J. Stone had filed his report of the compromiee. Receiver Stone reported in favor of the compromise, saying that, in accordance with the authcrity given him by an order of the court made last Friday, he had agreed with the directors to dismiss his Suit against them upon the payment of 15,000 and al] the costs of the proceedings. e then launched into a lenathy explana- tion of his attitude on the compromise. He said be had never favored a compro- miee on a Daasis of $15,000 and had once re- fused to accept it with the full concurrence of the court, “A compromise of a necessit meane concession and I was not pre oar to mak any concession in this suit,”’ said he. “1 would never have begun this procserin I had not been convinced that fe g00d catse of action.

How the signatures to this peti- tion have been secured I do not know. don't know who circulated the petition. am in absolute ignorance of the whole pro- ceeding. I am convinced that the petition does not express the wishes of all the creditors, for some of them have come to me and protested againat it. They have charged that fraudulent representations have been made to them to induce them to sign. Others deciare they have _ signed under a misapprehension of the character of the compromise. “However, I desire to let the majority rule. I have not been convinced that a majority of the creditors did not want this The few protests I ave te. e ceived have been vague and informal ' charges of fraud have been indifinite and there ia, at present, no clear guide to de- liberation. I have concluded, therefore, to report favorably on the compromise, as the court has authorized, and leave the credit- ore to such relief as they may get from the court. It is immaterial to me whether or not the compromise is approved. Filing it is simply a formal proceeding. If the court thinks that an injustice may be done by the compromise, then the case ought to be thoroughly investigated before a fina! step is taken. «~The filing of this report will enable the creditors to make wuch protests as they desire and will open a way for a just adjudication of the pro- ceeding.” Judge Wood said he wae entirely satisfied with the conduct of the receiver and had no desire to criticise him. He sald, however, that he would not approve the compromis« until he was convinced that a majority of the creditors Gesire it. “I want the protesting creditors to have their day in court,” said Judge Wood. “I will give them sufficient time to prepare protests and to introduce evidemce to eup- por them. I will not allow any Injustice be done and I will never a eos a com- promise unless it js thorough regular. I will give the objecting creditors until June % to file written protests against this pro- ceeding and to show how it may wrong ony one.”’ he courtroom was crowded with protest- ing creditors when the case was called and ‘they watched the proceedings with great , interest. They said they were satisfied with , the consideration which Judge Wood had own them and would be prepared by the Gay for the final hearing to show that they not proceeding on imaginary grounds. e cre keditore of the bank held a meetin rt hilip uff's Hotel Swegeay night iscussed the compromise.

Hogan claimed they represented legitimate charges for board and medical attendance, The referee finds for the plaintiff and or- ders the confessions of judgment set aside, bet awards the defendant $1090 for his services. Brown claimed that he went to board with the defendant for medical treatment, He charged that the defendant used mort phine to such excess in treating that h contracted the morphine habit.

Delegate Faulkner Consulted an At- torney as to the Pending Duty of the House of Delegates. ? Mr. H. A. Faulkner, member of the House of Delegates from the Twenty-third Ward, presented to the Assembly Tuesday night an opinion by Attorney Frederick N. Jud- son on the police bill which will become @ law on Aug. B®. The opinion was fur- nished in response to a request from Mr. Faulkner, who desired to know whether the Assembly should now take cognizance of the coming law. Mr. Judson’s opinion follows: “You ask my opinion upon the following State of facts: The General Assembly of Missouri! has enacted a law repealing the act of March 27, 1861, organizing the St. Louis Police Board and acts amendatory thereof, and organizing the police force of St. Louis on a new basis, fixing the num- ber and compensation of the officers and members of the force, and making the maintenance upon that basis mandatory upon the municipal authorities. Under the Constitution this act takes effect and goes into force 9 days after the adjournment of the General Assembly, to-wit, on Aug. 20, 1889. The number of the force and the scale of salaries fixed in this act call for an increased expenditure over that required by the present force. “The Municipal Assembly, through its committees, with the assistance of the Comptroller, is now engaged in preparing the usual annual appropriation bill, ap- propriating and setting aside the city reve- nues to be collected during the present fis- cal year ending in April next, to the dif- ferent objects of municipal expenditure. The Board of Police Commissioners have advised the City Comptroller that it will be their duty on and after Aug. 20 to main- tain the police force in accordance with the law of the State then taking effect, and requests that provision be made in the annua] appropriation bill for the mainte- nance of the force after Aug. DW on the a required by the law then to take ef- ect. “Upon this state of facts, you ask my opinion whether the members of the Muni- cipal Aseembly are now bound to take notice of this act which has not yet taken effect, in their annual appropriation, and whether, if they do not make such pro- vision for the force in their appropriations, on the basis required by the new act for that part of the fiscal year subsequent to August 2th, the duty of making such pro- vision can be enforced against the Muni- cipal Assembly and the other municipal au- thorities when the act.does take effect, despite the fact that the entire revenues of the city for the fiscal year have been ap- propriated to other purposes, including the ~igeenes of the police force on the old asia. “It Is true that until] August 2th, when the act takes effect under the Constitution, no action can be enforced thereunder. Al- though the members of the Municipal As- sembly are bound to take notice, as are all citizens, that such will be the law on and after August 20th, and this delay of ninety days fixed by the Constitutfon is for the very purpose of enabling citizens to conform thelr action to the coming change in the law by an needful preparation, this is a duty which rests only upon con- science and cannot be judicially enforced before the law actually takes effect. There is no power, therefore, which can prevent the members of the Municipal Assembly from appropriating all the city revenues for the entire year, regardless of the law taking effect August 20th requiring another and different expenditure of municipal revenues but such ignoring of the coming change in the law will be at their peril. Thus the Supreme Court of Minnesota gaid in Stein vs. Hennett, 13 Minn. 153, where a law was not to take effect until some time after its enactment: As a public law, although part of ite provisious ake immediate effect, all persons are re- sees from its approval, or at least from its pub- lication (there being a statute in Minnesota re- quiring publication) to take notice of its existence and terms, and that at the time appointed its pro- visions would be operative for all purposes. While, therefore, there is no method prior to August 20th, of enforcing this duty, it is olear that when the act does take effect on August 20th it will be enforceaole upon the municipal authorities, including the mem- bers of the Municipal Assembly, despite any prior appropriation in the oneral appro- priation act of the muntelpal revenues for the present fiscal year. hua, under Sec- tion 13 of the act in question, the Municipal) Assembly, when the amount necessary for the maintenance of the force for the fiscal year ts certified, is required to set apart the amount so certified as a primary charge upon the revenues of the city, after cdleduct- ing the amounts required for interest, the sinking fund, the City Hospital, the Healtn Department, and the amount required for lighting the city. All other city expendi- tures are made subject to this paramount charge for maintaining of the public peace. It is also provided that the certificates of the Board of their pay-rolls and other ex- penese shall be duly paid by the proper dis- ursing officer or officers of the city within five days after being audited out of any moneys in the city treasury not appropri- ated to the epecific purposes above enume- rated, that is to say, to the interest, — fund, Hospital an Health Department an city -—y This provision of the statute fs almost identical tn language with the resent law, which has been In force eince 861, and harmonizes with the city charter, which provides, Article XVI., Section 16: All claims against the Board of Police Commis- sioners, including ealaries, shall be paid out of the Olty Treasury in the same manner as other claims against the ay are paid, and said claims shall be certified to by the President and Se-- retary of said board and audited as provided in this charter for the claims against the city: and all acts or parts of acts inconsistent with or in conflict with this section are hereby repealed. “Thus the maintenance of the public peace through the police force, on the basie and with the compeusation specifical! prescribed by the State will be, on pare | after August 2th, a primary charge upon the revenues of the en subject only to the exceptions stated. he duty of main- taining the force under the act is made enforceable by summary proceedings by mandamus, and by the further penalties denounced in Section 14 of the act, including Giaqualification of any city official failing or or neglecting to perform the duties imposed upon him by the act. The appropriation or setting apart now of the City’s entire estimat revenue, before the act takes ef- fect, amounts to nothing more than the au- thorigzation by the es assembly, as the legislative authority of the city, to the executive officers to apply the sums named out of the estimated revenues for the year to the apecified objects of expenditure. But no vested rights are created by the act of appropriation. Until the money is actual) expended, or contracted to be expended, the appropriations remain under the con- trol of the legislative power. As is well known, the bulk of the city revenues for the fiscal year are not collected until long after August 20th, eo that on that date it is clear that the prior authorization of the municipal assembly to the executive offi- Clalg of the city can constitute no defense to the performance of the duty imposed by the public law of the State. “This principle was clearly established for all time in this State in the case of the State ex rel. Police Commissioners vs. St. Louls County Court, % Mo. 346, decided in 184. The Genera! Assembly by the act of Feb. 6, 1864, required the county of St. Louls to pay one-fourth or the whole expenses of the St. Louis police force for the year 1864 and for each year thereafter, and required the County Court of the county toe from time to time appropriate money out of the FOR BABY’S SKIN.

The Board of Police Com- missioners made such requisition on the i8th of February, 1844, only 18 days after the approval of the act, for the one-fourth of the police expenses for the months of Jan- uary and February, 1844. The County Court refused to pay, claiming that there was no money in the County Treasury that could be legally appropriated for that purpose, the money having been raised by taxes for cer- tain specific purposes, and could not be dl- verted. But the Supreme Court held that this was immaterial, that the county was an agency of the State Government and that its control of the county revenues was subject to the paramount iegislative wiil. That the act as the later expression of the legislative will controlled the public moneys heretofore collected, and peremptory n:an- damus was ordered, This case has been repeatédly cited and approved, and it was said in the City of St. Louis vs. Shields, 52 Mo. 35, referring to this case, that it was established that the Legislature could di- rect the mode in which the countys rev- enues could be used or applied to revenues already possessed, it was certainly a much stronger case when appiied to a case where nothing had been reduced to possession and only existed in the future. “I answer your questions therefore, that prior to August 7%, when the act takes effect, the duty devolving upon the Municipal Assembly of recognizing the com- ing change in the law cannot be judicta enforced, but that such duty resting up them, as upon al! citizens, will be disre- garded at their peril, and that such ap- propriation will be wholly nugatory on and after the act takes effect in qefeating the legislative will. The act can ‘then be en- forced as a paramount charge upon the city revenues thereafter to be collected dur- ing the present fiscal year, subject only to the payments provided for in the act, not- withstanding a prior declaration by the city to its officers for a different appropria- tion. In the maintenance of the public peace, the municipal government is but an agency of the State government, and the will of the sovereign must prevail. “T need not say that the wisdom or un- wisdom of the legislative action cannot now be discussed. Whether in the judgment of the city officials the basis for the number and pay of the force is unreasonable, or that an undue burden is placed upon the city in view of its other demands—all such questions bear only upon the policy of the law, and can have no bearing upon the duty of obeying and enforcing the law. The remedy for any mistake must be found in the Legislature. If the act was a valid exercise of the legislative power, whether wise or not, the willLof the sovereign must be obeyed, and it cannot be defeated by any action or non-action of the municipal authorities. “FREDERICK N. JUDSON.” RETURNED FROM A BIG FISH. — St. Louisans Had Fine Sport at the Lewiston Reservoir. Harry McGuire, the pulchritudinous city passenger agent of the Big Four Railroad, has a fine crop of sunburn which he accum- ulated at Lewiston Reservoir, whcre he Ccon- ducted a party of fishermen last week.

NOT MUCH OF A JOKE, EITHER. Troublesome and Expensive Effort to Be Funny. ‘* Dick Burke, treasurer of the Standard Theater has received notice that there is & money order for him ih the postoffice that calls for one cent. When C. G. Ball, advance agent for Mia- cos City Club was in St. Louis he bor- rowed % from Burke. I'll send it to you from New York,” said Ball. “That's all right. Any old time, and any old way,” said Burke. When the notice of that one cent mone order came Burke knew what was up. Ball had decided to remit the $% in homeopathic doses. Manager Butler of the Standard is in New York and Burke thinks he helped Ball gn the joke. “I'M fool ’em though,” said Burke. ‘“‘I’ll let the money orders accumulate until they are all in, then I’ll cash ‘em l at once. It will cost Ball $2 to send me that $5 in instalments of one cent each.” If the joke ig carried out Ball will not only be at some —— and expense but the money order cler will be put to a lot of trouble. A notice will have to be sent to Burke every two weeks for each order re- minding him that he hasn’t called for the money, and the cashier will have to carry all those one cent orders on his books.
