We are doing e Lord's work and he will protect us. | His workers have ever been persecuted, and we would not be surprised at anything that might be undertaken against. us.” The coroner rendered a verdict Monday that the death of George Williams, aged 4 years, in the home Sunday was caused by neglect of the managers to give him proper treatment and to their refusal to allow a physician to see him. Dr. Milton J. Hopkins, who visited the child omce and diagnosed his case as pneu- monia, testified at the inquest that he was kept in a large cold room through which a heavy draft was passing constantly. Louis Diep died at the home of burns two weeks o. He was not treated for his injuries until several hours after the ac- cident, whon his mother summoned a phy- sician., A new featvre in the case of the Faith Home was®disclosed late yesterday after- noon. The disappearance of Emma, Eugenia and Maud Beeler, aged 12, 10 and 8 years, respectively, from the asylum eight days ago was not reported to the police until Wednesday. Mrs. Coker-Miller says the delay in re- questing the police to find the wanderers Was caused by her belief that they had been kidnaped by their mother or had run away to go to her.

He then returned to his car, borrowed a fountain ven froin Mr. Justice, and wrote his signature and the amount subscribed on the first line of the subscription blank. “Now, Mr. Wu, won’t you give us a Christmas sentiment? he was asked. “Something for the children to read?’ “What shall I write?” he asked. “Shall I wish them a merry Christmas or give them some good advice?” It was suggested that he wish the chil- dren a mefry Christmas, but the minister deliberated for a minute before he began to write. Then he wrote four characters in Chinese. “Do you want it in English, asked. Being answered affirmatively, Mr. Wu wrote in English, under the Chinese char- acters, the translation: “Obedient to your parents.” The minister explained that obedience to parents is one of the prime teachings of the Chinese law and religion, and that no Christmas sentiment could be wiser than this. A St. Louis young man who was intro- duced to the minister while he was writing the sentiment became the object of a rapid- fire interrogation. “Are you married?” “Why not?” “Ah! Going to be? When? *‘Do you love the woman?” ‘““‘How long have you known her’’ “A year? Where did you meet her?’ “How did she happen to be in St. Louis, if she lives in Kansas?’ ‘Whom was she visiting here?’ “How did you get acquainted with her?’ “Is she wealthy?” “How often have you seen her in the year?’”’ QUESTION FOR MR. WU. The young man managed to ask Mr. Wu if he thought a year’s acquaintance was too short, and he replied, with a wise smile: “That depends upon how many times you have seen her. How often do you call?” “Have you plenty of money to get mar- ried?’’ “What salary do you get?” ‘Why don’t you ask for a—what do they say?—a raise?” ‘“‘Are you not worth more to your em- ployers?’’ Mr. Wu, when, this young man finally es- caped without revealing his entire persona history from ‘infancy, turned his attentioi to St. Louls. “Tl want to see this station,” he said “How big is it? How many tracks? Is i. the biggest in the United States?’ “What is the population of St. Louis?” “Have you a commercial club here?’ Mr. Wu was told that the ground-break ing .exercises. of the World's Fair are ' take place Friday.

Generous citizens are suboeribiria. liberally; but to make the din- ner the success it deserves, and will be, more money is required. The dinner com- mittee is preparing to serve many more guests this than it did last Christmas. Owing to the severe weather there will be an enormous demand on the committee having in charge the distribution of din- ners in baskets to the k and infirm. As these dinners will average in cost $1 each, much money will needed to urchase supplies for them. The Post-Dispatch would *be gratified if all who have sub- scription blanks would complete them and forward them with the money to this of- fice without delay. Only five days remain until Christmas.

The Famous Controversy Is Far From Settlement and Seems to Be but Fairly Begun. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The Schley- Bampson controversy, instead of being, set- tled by the Schley court of inquiry, is really at greater tension now than at any time in its history. The battle seems to be but just begun. The bill of exceptions to the court’s find- ings, filed by Schiey’s counsel, is a strong indictment of Admirals Benham and Ram- sey. It was carefully drawn by Attorney- General Rayner of Maryland, Schliey's chief legal adviser. Commenting upon it, Mr. Rayner said: “The objections that we have filed’ *rest upon the ground that Admiral Schley has been deprived of his rights as guaranteed to him by the law of the land and the con- stitution of his country. “We claim that the whole of the evidence in favor of the Admiral, including his own ne the testimony of all of his witnesses been rejected by the majority of the Soest and not even considered or* passed upon. “Such a method of procedure would not be orenttted to stand for a moment before any tribunal governed by any principle of common law or common justice. “The admiral was on the stand for about “four days and not a word that he uttered and not a solemn assertion that he made under the sanction of his oath has been adverted to by the majority of the court. Such a method of disposing of a case is unparalleled in the annuls of civil or of criminal law. ‘The greatest malefactor in the land un- der the constitution is entitled to have his evidence considered and passed upon. “We shall, therefore, avail ourselves of every remedy that we have to impeach this appalling verdict.” One of the Judges May Be Impeached. While Rayner would not admit, it is nevertheless believed that an effort wi!l be made to impesech one of the judges of the court of inquiry. Which one cannot be stated, but this much Mr. Rayner did say: “T will not liscuss this phase of the case until the evidence we are accumulating has crystallizcd.”’ “Then you are accumulating evidence on which to base an impeachment?” “T did not say so,’ smilingly replied Mr. Rayner. "Ts it Ramsey?” sy! | "t answer that.” “Is Benham? ‘“‘Neither can I answer that.’’ ’ “Will you deny that an Catania will be demanded? “T will not.” “You can say this,'’ continued Mr. Ray- ner. “‘There will be no quarter shown from this on. This fight is going to be to thé I have some hopes that Congress will pass a resolution nullifying the find- ns of the two majority judges, and order- the resolution to be recorded in the ie Re ¢ only This will absolutely ob- he opinion. f we fail before the secretary we wil) mo before the President and Congress.”’ Status of the Case in Congress. The Schley case is before Congress in several ways. | Representative Griffith of Indiana has -$ntroduced a resolution for an investigation | of the navy department and of the Schley case. The preamble expresses confidence in Admiral Schiey, recites the allegation of the Maclay history and refers to reports -that Capt. Crowninshield and other naval officers were furnished proofs of his his- ory. Representative Schirm of Maryland intro- duced resolutions, which it is sald to a con- siderable extent represent the views of the Maryland delegation to Congress. After re- citing the opinion of Admiral Dewey in the slog ty court of inquiry the resolutions say: hat the opinion and finding of Admiral corp Dewey be and it is hereby indorsed - t only opinion and finding justificd by the evidence adduced and pertinent facts established before the court of inquiry.”’ Representative Gaines of Tennessee in- troduced a resolution reciting the ‘‘unparal- leled achievement of Admiral Schley in de- stroying the entire Spanish squadron with ser gears skill and terrible celerity.’ , resolution makes the opinion of Ad- ‘mifal Dewey the opinion of Congress.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19,—Norman Mack of Buffalo, who is a friend of William J. Bryan, and ja the Democratic committee- man for this state, threw a whole handful of rocks today at the labor capital arbi- tration movement. Said he to a reporter: “Mark Hanna, Charles M. Schwab, J. Plerpont Morgan and the Rockefel.ers, as -he friends and well-wishers of laboring men are indeed a spectacie to make men wonder. ‘‘Men who have squeered fully two and a half billion of dollars from the necessi- ties of all and the toil of the laborer, now come here and loudly pledge their friend- shi lt means that these far-seeing phil- pe ropists are beginning to see a great ht.

Does anybody seriously believe that Mark Hana or Morgan or the Rockefellers have any friendship for the laboring man?

EXPLOSION OF A _ FURNACE VICTIMS ON A PLATFORM 120 FEET FROM THE GROUND. Five Workmen Blown Off the Top of the Furnace Still Alive, but So Badly Burned That They Are Likely to Die. PITTSBURG, Dee. 19.—By an explosion 0! gas in the Soho furnace of Jones & Laugh lin this city at 6:20 o'clock this morning nine men were burhed to death and proba bly twenty injured. The damage to thc plant will amount to $20,000. The explosion occurred in one of the big blast furnaces. The men were at work at the top of the furnace, over one hundred and twenty feet from the ground. The) were einployed as fillers and were just get- ting ready to quit work, being members oi the night crew, When the gas, which haa accumulated in ‘the furnace, exploded and tons of metal, cinders and slag were thrown over the unfortunate men, on the top ol the structure. The men made a rush fo the elevator, but it had gone down, and there was no escape. To jump meant death, and to remain on the platform was just as certain doom. Tons of Metal Fell on Them. The tons of molten metal and flames fel! on them and burned nine men to death. Their bodies dropped to the roof of the mill, 8 feet below. Patrols. from all sections arrived before 7 o'clock and the morgue wagon was with them. The bodies of some of the dead and many of the injured were strewn about the yard beneath the furnace, some of the dead having failen from the slippery roof to the ground. To remove the dead from the roof of the mill it was found mepeery to get hook and ladder No. 13, and the firemen carried the burned, charred and misshapen masses of humanity to the morgue wagon and placed them in. in all parts of the yard beneath the fur- nace the injured were found. How many injured there are is not known at time. The injured were hurried to the Mer- and other hospitals. The officials at the MWerey Hospital at this writing say that roe victims were received there, and it is orted that many, if not more, were ta en to the South Bide Hospital, although the latter place denied that they received any victims of the accident. All the men at work on top of the fur- nace were Slavs and Poles. Three of the five taken to Mercy Hospital are so hadly hurt that it js feared they will die. No cases were taken to the South Side Hospi- tal, as at first reported. Looked Like a Volcano. Eye-witnesses say that when the explo- sion took place there was one great loud report, and the sky was illuminated with a great sheet of flame, showing the men on top of the furnace running about, gesti- culating wildly. The flames and hot metal looked like a volcano in action. Five of the men were blown off the top of the furnace, and, strange as it may seem, these men are the ones who are sitll living. The oth- ers hung on the railing, some on the out- se. others on the inside, until their cloth- — was burned off. f the victims maneng on the out- side he d on and remained tenaciously clinging to the railing until their fingers were burned off. They then fell to the roof of the mill dead. Seven of the victims were found dead on the platform of the cupola. These were completely denuded of clothes by the flames Over two tone of the debris fell on Sec- ond avenue and a force of 50 men was put to work to clean it off the tracks. he traffic was impeded, but within half an hour the accident all the tracks were the explosion occurred the men in t became panic-stricken' and almost bed to of the place le e street.

A NEW LOCATION _> > , ae STORM OF INDIGNATION ROUSED AGAINST ANGLO COMPANY. PROF. BELL’S GENEROUS OFFER Marconi Will Use Telephone Man’s Estate in Cape Breton if Suit- able for Experiments. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 19.—The differ- ences between the Anglo-American C Co. and Signor Marconi, with the whole people of the colony, the government and the press championing the inventor, have reached a heated stage. The Angio is out today in a statement for publication from its solicitors, in which it seeks to avoid the storm aroufed bY its action in skutting of .urther experim tg in: wireless telegraphy. The effect of the*statement by the Anglo -§ to produce the impression that the ca- ole company is driven into a corner by the universal condéMnation of what ib called ‘ts policy of obstruction to progress. In what is regarded as a gratifying con- (ragt to the action of the Anglo is an un- ceasing Stream of offers of every form of assistance to the inventor from every séc- 40n, One came trom Prof. Graham Beil, che inventor of the telephone, from his vv ‘ashington home... It read: “Congratulations and best wishes. If you can make use of my estate in Cape brc- ton, near Baddeck, as a temporary sta- uon, you are welcome to it, and my man- ager, . McInnis, will be glad to take care vl you and your party and do every thiug pessible to facilitate your experiments,” ¢ Sig. Marconi Is touched with the mani- fest sincerity of these attentions. He ga ne can never amoyentety thank Gov. Boy ay Premier Bond the members of the min- istry for their qinceasing attentions, ‘she local press, too, is a unit in his behalf, and the pie are wondertully wrought up in his favor. All classes resent the Angio’s action as a national indignity. It is a fact that Mar- coni is the most popular personage that nas visited the coiony in recent times, except the Duke and Duchess of York. The same spirit apparently prevails abroad, as every day telegrams of congrat- Wialuon, ay cet ge 4g sympathy rain sn upon him from E erage and America, but owing to the pending Anglo trouble he ad- heres to his first Tetarcaination not to pub- ish them, making an exception only of that from Prof. Bell. Marconi will avail himself of Prof. Bell's offer, and will. start on Sunday night for Baddeck and inspect the site. If it is suitable he will locate there. is erwise he goes to Canso, N. 8., which is a a headlan jutting eastward, as does St. Johns, should it prove sultable for his pur- pose. If not, he will search along the Nova scotia coast, proceeding thence to ne Nova | from where he sails for England. The Anglo's people here announce that at London ‘negotiations are on between Mar- coni’s supporters and the Anglo that will ood future experiments here by Mar- con Blow Your Horn. Will furnish the horn at 5 and 10 cents each. RAWLINGS SPORTING GOODS Co., 620 Locust street. Seen and Heard. From the Philadelphia Press.

That is the question that has perplexed Judge Beattie -of the Orange County Court and Sherif Herman ever since the ‘‘old gentieman pris- -Oner’’ was brought here fram New burg, where he was caught stealing food from the pantry and dining room of Mr. E. C. Ross’ residence. Persistent effort on the part of the judge to get the prisoner to disclose his identity on the promise of liberty has failed. ‘Judge, it is better as it is—just let me pass On to the prison as August Burkhart and my dear children will be none the wiser.’ This was the invariable answer from the mysterious man, and when the case came up and Judge Beattie made a last appeal for his real name, the prisoner caimly _ bowed and said: “I await the sentence of the court.”’ With his accustomed politeness and cor- Giality the aged convict received a reporter In-his cell. “Your visit isa great pleasure, ndeed,’’ he said, as the turnkey opened the ponderous iron door, “but I sincerely hope that you have not come to ply me with questions which embarrass and pain me, I cannot tell you wholam. It is quite out of the question.”’ The man who calls himself August Burk- hart stood erect, rubbing his hands nerv- cusly, his eyes Sthasnink® with vivacity, in _ striking contrast to his pale, withered cheeks and wrinkled brow. “It is nobody's ault that I am here. Only fate, that’s all. am content to go to the penitentia and serve out the term of one year which has n imposed upon me.

Z ANTI-KERENS PEOPLE JUBILANT Laugh at Him for Saying He Is Pleased With Appointments of Messrs. Wenneker and Gallenkamp. Special to the Post-Dispe*-b. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—The names of Charles (F. Wenneker for collector of in- ternal revenue, First District of Missouri, and Chas. F. Gallenkamp for surveyor ’of customs, port of St. Louis, were today sent to the Senate, thus confirming, the an- nouncement of yesterday. ° The anti-Kerens faction here are today laughing at the interview given out by Mr. ‘Kerens in New York last night, in. which he says he is pleased with the appointment ef Messrs. Wenneker and Gallenkamp. They say that since this is the case, Meh President’s seltcoins are most happy in- deed, inasmuch as they are in receipt of hundreds of tel ams from Missouri re- joicing over the President’s solution of the Missouri problem. Representative Bartholdt will leave this afternoon for St. ems. DID HE O00 IT? Republicans Want to Know How the Winning Combination Was Fixed. The winning combination—Gallenkamp and Wenneker—in.the Republican race for the St. Louis plums, how the combination was fixed =? and what it means, are the pics of conversation among Republicans. he Kerens crowd claim a victory in the turning down of Boyd for Smith’s place. It is said that Boyd was actuallyslated for the appointment when Col. erens reached Washington and opened his bgtter- ies, and that the colonel and his henchmen feel that they have demonstrated strength by radically changing the slate. It is’ even said that Boyd and his friends looked for success until the announcement of the President’s decision.’ In connection with .Wenneker’s appoint- ment an amusing story is told' on Con- gressman Bartholdt. Mr. Bartholdt and a consulting newspaper man were talking over the situation with. the President when Wenneker’s name was suggested. Bar- tholdt «protested on the ground that no one with the taint of Ziegenheinism would be acceptable., and Wenneker was in the Ziegenhein administration and was on speaking terms with “the old man” and his supporters. It is also reported that when Wenneker asked Bartholdt to help him the request was turned down flat, but when the ap- pointments were made Wenneker received a congratulatory dispatch from the South St. Louis congressman, ending with & sen- tence something like this: ‘I did it.’ COST A BILLION - ROUBLES This Enormous Sum ($515,000,000) Will Be Spent on the Trans- Siberian Railway.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—‘‘Thomas Brack- ett Reed, one time czar of the House, has ust been informed that ‘he is an heir to 3/000, 000 worth of property in the heart of the city of Portland,” said Nathaniel Brackett Tracy, a lawyer at Auburn, Me., at the Grand Central Station yesterday. “The land belongs to the heirs of the original Brackett of the town of Old Fal- mouth. He owned a large farm there, and eventually leased it for a term of years. He died and his: son forgot the lease. It was for a long term and is about to expire. Recently the heirs found the origina] lease and proved it to be genuine. “Old Falmouth is now in the city of Port- land, and the original 83 acres are in the heart of the richest part of it. There are many heirs, Nindpnamtd ten or fifteen. I am one myself. The case will be begun as soon as we finish the collection of evidence, Mr, oe has not signified his intention of join- in the lawsuit..Perhaps he will not for 0 itical reasons, but if we win he will get pat share if he will take it. The people who now live on the land and who built city business blocks on it will make a fight. They think they own it, but they don't.’ Mr. Tracv is a distant relative of Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy.

"TO PAY EXPENSE OF EXHIBIT Legislature May Be Called in Extra Session to Legalize Issuance of Bonds. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 19.—Sam Cohen, secretary and treasurer of the Ar- | kansas Commission of the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition, and Thos. W. Milan,: manager of the Arkansas exhibit, will in- &ugurate a movement next week to raise fest, by popular subscription to defray he expenses of a state exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Mr. Cohen says that ore money than this will be raised in Ar- neas. In addition to the popular sab- seription plan, Mr. Cohen says Gov Davis | of convening the legisiature in extra ses- | has under contemplation the advisability sion, with a view of urg.ng the passage of | @ measure to raise $150,000 by the issuance | -of bonds. His proposition is to have the) bond issue so arranged that each peda} will pay its pro rata, according to r ee gentation tn the legislature. His sch @e is | for each county that has one represcnta- / tive each to obligate itself to provide for} the payment of $1000 of these bonds, as @ach of the counties with one representa- tive is expected to do, and $700 for each ad- ditional representative. Mr. Cohen leaves tonight for St. Louis to participate tomorrow in the celebra- tion of the centennial anniversay of the transfer of the Louisiana Territory to the United States and to assist in the selec- tion of a site for the Arkansas building. He says tlrat if he has any say in the} the site for the Arkansas exhibit orld’s Fair will be as near as pos- that of the Missouri building. “IT am not afraid of any comparison that will be made between the Arkansas and Missouri exhibits,”’ he says. “We want our building and what it will contain to be where it will be seen. The Mi issourt building will attract the attention of every- body, and Arkansas should have its build- ing where the crowd is thickest. At the next meeting of the cnommission we ex- pect to invite bids for the construction of | the Arkansas building, the cost of which will be about $35,000. I would suggest that the cost shall not exceed that amount.” Cash Not Required. During the Christmas holidays fat pocket- bocks grow slim and sl.m pock tbooks grow Slimmer.

Detectives in the service of the city and of the United States government are en- deavoring to find the owner of the horse and buggy which was used by the three men who Tuesday evening snatched a bag of registered mail from Oscar Koelling, a driver, in front of the old postoffice. Postoffice Inspector Dice has learned that the three highwaymen ran down Olive street to Main street, where they jumped into a storm buggy which was in waiting for them. A bay horse was attached to the buggy. The officers believe that the rig was hired. and are trying to learn from what livery stable it came. Mr. Dice and other officers who are work- ing on the case believe that the robbers were former postal employes.

LOUISAN rST TO FIRE AT MANILA ROBERT BRUCE TELLS OF PHILIP- FINED FOR NOT STUPPING CARD -— PINE AND CHINESE CAM- PAIGNS. Robert Bruce, a veteran of the Philippine and Chinese campaigns, has returned to his home in St. Louls with his palate partially shot away, and is telling his friends here of the exciting incidents of the engagements in which he figured. Bruce says that, as gun captain on the Raleigh in Dewey's fleet, he fired the first gun against the Spaniards at the battle of Manila Bay. Bruce returned to New York in 1899, after 1° years of naval service. Later he enlisted in the Nimrth Regular. Infantry and went to - Pekin. While taking part in an attack Bruce was “wounded in the head, the right hand and the left leg. The bullet which struck his face tore away a part of his palate, per- manentiy impairing his speech. The former sailor and soldier says that he has had enough of fighting, and that he will work at his former trade, that of a * machinist, if he can get employment. He ’ lives at 129 South Ewing avenue. He ex- _ pects to receive a pension anda ee of naval prize money. | THE HYGIENE ( OF OLD AGE. — We look upon the aged with good rea- /gon as having a slender hold upon life, one that may be loosened by a slight: shock of injury or disease which, in the’ young or middte-aged, would serve only as a stimulus to the reparative vital pow- ers. This is a conservative belie, for it warns us to shield our loved ones, who; have fought the fight, from all influences which might shorten their stay with us. _ But we must not go too far in our so- ~ jicitude, for injury may be inflicted and _- life shortened by coddling thé old, al- most as surely as by coddling the young.

Seven Cases Charged Violation of Ordi- nance in Not Posting Stopping Order in the Cars. Ten cases in which the St. Louts Transit Co. was interested were tried in the First District Police Court Thursday and all were decided against the company. Motormen were defendants in three of the cases, being charged with failing to stop at crossings for passengers. The other seven cases were against the company, which was charged wit, not posting the street car stopping ordinance in its cars. A. D. Price, motorman on. the Market street line, was accused by Charles H. Hol- land of having failed to stop for a passen- \ger at Twenty-first street and Clark ave- nue. Morton Jourdan appeared as the at- torney for thedefendant. Justice F. A. Cline, who occupied the ‘bench in the absence of Judge George B. | Sidener, fined Price % | George Barlow, motorman of the Laclede avenue line, was fined $5 In each of two icases against him. Perry Post. Taylor, city iattorney, testified that Barlow had failed to | stop for him at Seventh and Chestnut ‘streets, and John A. Sieppard sald Barlow's ‘car passed.him at Tenth and Chestnut streets. Charies C, Dow, stenographer for the city counselor, testified that the company had failed to post stopping ordinances in seven cars, the numbers of which he specified. Although Mr. Jourdan was still in court when these cases were called, he did not ner an appearance for the company and a fine of $ was assessed in each case. Attorney Jourdan immediately gave no- tice that all the cases would be appealed. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing syrup is he best of all remedies for children teething. 25c.

Miss Lucille Goldsmith, an art student, who sued the Holland Bullding Co. on ac- count of an elevator accident whereby she was maimed for life, was awarded a ver- dict of $7500 damages by a jury in Judge Ryan's court Wednesday atternoétn, The principal feature of the trial was the measurement made in the courtroom of the width of Miss Goldsmith’s akirt, upon which depended to a material extent her cause of action against the defendant cor- poration. In April last Miss Goldsmith ‘was descend- ing in an elevator at the Holland building, when her dress caught on a projection in | the shaft and threw her to the floor. Her fot was caught between the door and the wall and severely crushed. In her petition Miss Goldsmith alleged that the accident would not have occurred if the elevator door had been kept closed.

Miss Goldsmith has been a cripple ever since. The attorney for Miss Goldsmith proceed- ed to show by a measurement of her skirt that she could not possibiy, as the defense claimed, have. been standing within six inches of the shaft. The skirt from the hem to the ankle was just 14 inches, and this distance, the lawyer asserted, Miss Goldsmith was stand- ing from the elevator door when hurt. ther testimony as to Miss Goldsmith's injuries was given by Dr. Wiley 0O.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Judging from the femarks of Frank de Haas Robison of the St. Louls Ciub, professional baseball will he tangled up in the courts for some time to come and even the playing season may be interfered with.: Robison says the legal Mroceedings before Justice Scott today to .determine the legality of A. G. Spalding’s election to the presidency of the National League would begin a long fight of this nature, involving damage suits on the ground of conspiracy. The case in court today presumably wil! turn on the parliamentary ruling of the chairman that a member present physica- ly and not voting can be counted to make @ quorum. A quorum of members of the League obtained under such circumstances elected Spalding president, and Andrew Freedman of the New York Club secured an injunction to prevent him from serv- i as such, paiding repeatedly said that Freedman must get out of baseball and reiterated it after his so-called election. It is said that grounds have already been secured for a new club here, presumably to take the lace of .the League club if the New York lub will not bounce Freedman. ‘It is a pretty broad statement to make,” gaid De Yisas Robison, “‘when a man de- clares publicly that he intends to drive soinebedy out of business and follows it up with a plan to carry the threat into elect The laws will protect anybouy against a conspiracy of this kind. “Whatever moves are made by the ene- my the public can rest assured that the ourts will decide everything. There will . a tangle that may tie up the game it- gelf. Spalding evidently showed his cards those clubs that are standing by him, r they would not have struck under other circumstances. I wish it to be understood that the New York, Boston, Cincinnati and St. Louis clubs have done nothing to in- re the dear old National League. They ave been doing their best to perpetuate t. They did not advocate a trust. The outline of our scheme as given to the pub- Rie by the Spalding faction was not in accordance with the facts.’’ TO MANAGE THE KING’S STABLE.

Boston and Philadeiphia of the National tice ue are practically wrecked and St. s is little better off. ew York has recently lost its manager, and is almost without a player of real merit, save Christy Matthewson. Should the National bring about a reor- ganization, the disaffection in its ranks 1s sure to militate against its success. What with internal strife and weak teams, the oor old National is in poor condition to ace the situation. Spring is still. distant, however, and the iuterval may be encugh to give it time to stagger to its feet and make a bold if not successful showing. For the sake of Aul Lang Syne it is hoped it will. In the meantime Spalding and Freedman enter the arena. The gong sounds. HART PREDICTS PEACE.

The matter, National Body. NEW YORK, Dec, 19.—The Herald prints the following: “Discussion is general among atomobilists as regards the possibility of a national as- sociation of automobile clubs being formed to control racing and the moéor vehicle sport in opposition to the jurisdiction as- sumed by the Automobile Club of America. [t is clafmed by opponents of the.affilla- tion scheme of the Automobile Club of America that the Bridgeport, Syracuse and New Jersey Clubs alone had approved of that project.’’ Mr. Albert R. Shattuck, president of the Automobile Club of America, said: “We maintain that we are the nationa! organization, and as such should control racing. We are recognized as such by the foreign clubs and we are empowered to pas# upon the eligibility of all American eniries to international! contests. Outside of this we are the pioneer organization and we have exercised national functions by securing the passage of laws for the good of automobiling such as the ‘gasoline-on- ferryboat’ act. “We promoted the great endurance run to Buffalo, and the race meets of the coun- try have been run under our auspices. We are not willing to enter uny association of clubs. We do not think a club of I5 mem- bers should have a vote equal in power to that of a club of our membership and standing. We do not believe that racing and the sport generally could be as well controlled by an association as by a metro- politan body like ours. ‘he British and French Automobile clubs have a much larger membership than ours, but London and Paris are the centers of those countries. We are perfectly will- ing to give foreign racing credentials to all members of the clubs deserving of them. A majority of the clubs invited to join in our affiliation scheme has already ae- cepted. Mr. A. R. Pardington, a governor and leading spirit in the Long Island Automo- bile Club, said his club had taken action {in favor of an association as o sed to an affiliation with the Automobile Club of America. “It is unfair,”’ said he, ‘‘to the Long Island and Chicago Clubs to say that the opposition to the affiliation scheme is led by them. They are only two of a good many, and have not sought to pose as leaders of the opposition. ‘ Our club be- leves that the entire sport of automobiling should be controlled by a national federa- tion of clubs.”’ Mr. L. R. Adams, a governor and former president of the Long Island Club, Iso thought the claim of the New York Club as a national organization should be dis- DOLMANS DEFEATED.

The wimners bowled consistently through- out the contest. The Dolmans were in fine fettle. and with a greater number of cocked ping has fewer misses. The work of Du- 9 was exceptional, and he was ably acked up by Reiner. Dugan would have had a still better aver- age than his 62 but for the last gamc, when he dropped to 41, all his previous marks having been over 10 pins better than that.

Y., Dec. 19.—The Fort Erie Athletic Club was the scene of a fierce encounter on Wednesday night between “Rube”’ Ferns, the welter-weight, and Joe Walcott, the Barbadoes black. The bout was scheduled for 20 rounds, but Referee McBride stopped it in the fifth in order to save Ferns from being complete- ly knocked out. t was the fastest fight that ever took Place in the Fort Erie Club. The men met at 142 pounds, but Walcott seemed to be in the better condition as he seemingly did not feel Fern’s sledgehammer blows on his stomach. Ry the last round Waleott sent Ferns to the canvass twice and the latter took the count each time. pirenicott administered some terrific body- Ows to Ferns and smashed him on the head with right and left swings. At the end of the fignt the victor issucd a challenge to fight any man in the world, Temmy Ryan preferred. YANGER-BERNSTEIN BOUT. CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—The mtch-talked-or fight between Benny Yanger and Joe Bern- stein took place at the West Side Armory here Wednesday night before a crowd of 3000 people. It was a six-round contest, and Yanger got the decision. For the frst four rounds ernstein had the better of the contest. In the last two rounds, however, the su- perior strength and stamina of the ‘Tipton Slasher’ told, and he wore down the Ghetto champion by hard stomach punches.

OS — LOCAL PLAYHOUSES ‘The week before Christmas is always a bad week for the theaters, as the purchase ‘ot Christmas presents makes a heavy drain upon the purses of theater-goers. The pres- ent week is no éxception to the rule, and as @ result, none of the theaters are do- ing a heavy business. At the Olympic, Marguerita Sylva, in “The Princess Chic,” is doing fairly weil, but nothing like she ought, for the. opera de one of the most musical and best pro- duced that has visited St. Louis in many a day.

In ad- dition to this, Mr. Whiteside is a new- comer, and it will take several seasons for St. Louisans to get acquainted with him. But if he will keep coming, he will win out in the e The po ular-priced houses, the Columbia and the Standard, are none of them doing the Business that. the same attractions would do any other w The attraction at the Grand O ra House next week will be “A Wise Guy.” The company is an exceptionally clever one, headed by Edmond Hayes as the Wise Guy. The chorus is the best that has been seen in farce for a long time.

PRICES GO MUCH HIGHER ie’ Tous is threatened with @ coal fam- ne. The supply is altogether unequal to the demand and only a cessation of the snow and cold weather will enable the local coal dealers to come anywhere near filling the orders of their patrons. Many St. Louisans were unable to secure coal Thursday at any price. Others who did secure coal paid, in some instances, as high as 2 cents per bushel for soft coal. The large dealers endeavored to take care of their regular customers at once and no- tified all other would-be buyers that they bing re Beg be compelled to wait until next week Those persons who did receive Thursday, in most. cases, received enough to tide them over for a being informed forthcoming next week. @ most disagreeable feature of the sit- uation ig that there is no imm te pros- coal few days, ' CAUSES FOR senaeaaiile J. HL Hornstein, secretary of the Barth- Rose Coal] Co., said to the Post-Dispatch: inpranchenstlbiynecti cesteny for the present only that the rest” would be! ntidwa: a higher price the same afternoon.”’ dward Devoy of the Devoy & Feuerborn Coal Co takes a conservative view of the situation. While he admits that there is a shortage, he says there is plenty of coal available at reasonable prices in East St. Lou if it can only be brought over the river. EFFECT ON PRIVATE FAMILIZs. Mr. Devoy said that the effects of the shortage would be felt ge -~ ed by pri- vate families who ae delayed seouring their winter coal sup He said some of ther large dealers had de- cided‘to first protect the steam trade, that is the factories and office buildings heated by steam, where large numbers of persons were employed. If this were not done, he eaid, “pe unmber of employes would be snakes work and earn their salaries. Mr. Devoy told the Post- Dispatch that at present St. Louls was consuming about 800 car loads of coal a day. He da car contains about 2 tons ordinarily, St. Lou- is spertaraaaen about half that amount, he said. Hard coal is not as scarce as the bitu- minous coal], and may be purchased at from $7.50 to $7.75 a ton Local dealers are experiencing some dif- ficulty, incidentally, in securing sufficient teams to do their hauling. The snow and oe nes” Sage the work of their teams doubly difficult. Celebrated ‘German Artist Had an American Colored “Oake Walk Lady” for His Model Special to the Post-Dispatch. BERLIN, Deo. 19—Ernst Hellmann, one of ,Germany’s foremost portrait artists, has finished a life-size painting of Dora Dean, a handsome young Indianapolis col- ored woman, p in a cakewalk attitude. The picture will be hun hibition of the German Academy. “Miss Dean” is the first colored woman to be honored with a sitting by a European artist. She and her husband, Charles E. Johnson, fulfilled a month's engagement in Berlin'a: leading vaudeville theater during the Es autumn and initiated the German as into the pecullar , poetry and motion of the American “coon” song.
