Wallace Was Drenched With Burning Gasoline. SOLDER HEATER EXPLODED HE SMOTHERED -FLAMES ON CLOTHING AGAINST POLE. Free of This Peril, He Discovered Pole Was Burning, but Saved Himself by Descending, Though Severely Burned. W. H. Wallace, a lineman, was burned seriously Friday afternoon, by the ex- plosion of a gasoline solder heater while he was working on top of a telephone pole in Alton. He was directly over the heater and the blazing fluid was thrown upon his clothes. For an instant, he looked like a flaming ball on the pole. He acted quickly. Winding his legs about the pole, smothered the flames. * When the fire was extinguished, Wallace discovered that the telephone pole was burning. The platform on which he stood was be- ing consumed rapidly. Wallace was com- pelled to slip down the pole to escape. He was burned severely in the descent. He was taken to his home. he Many on the street saw Wallace in his perilous position, but were powerless to help him. TOMORROW. Tomorrow!

Hawes declared Satu: day. The team of expert revolver shots, police- men of St. Louis, that the president of the police board is willing to vouch for will be selected Monday. The shooting contest with the Chicago police team will begin within 10 days and the first match will be by telegraph. Some preliminary details of the first match have been arranged. ; Capt. Horace Rumsey will go to Chicago to look out for the interest ef the St. Louis team. The Chicago men propose to select a sporting editor of one of the St. Louls papers to care for their interests here. The gallery where the St. Louis men will shoot has not yet been designated.

In this contest Patroimen Longsworth and J. R. Shipp tied for high score, with 383 points each. Some officers who have made extra high scores in practes shoots were not the high men in Thursday's contest. Mr. Hawes Pleased With the Results. Presidént Hawes of the Police Board is delighted with the results achieved by the men in revolver practice. He said: “Revolver practice will be required of every man in the department henceforth. All must practice four days a month at the armory and under Capt. Roemer's instruc- tion At the next annual review in Octo- ver, 1902, the Po.ice Board will give a gold medal to the best revolver shot in the de- partment. “Geld medals will also be given to the officer who makes the most important ar- rest during the year. and to the man who performs the greatest act of bravery. “District captains will keep the records in each case and, from their returns, the prize-winners will be selected. „The St. Louls team will beat the Chicago | team in the coming contest. I will wager $100 on our men. The contest with Chicago will be our first match. but I hope to see the St. Louls team matched with the crack team of other cities. Capt: Schaaf tells me that our best shots are good enough to compete with any police team in the coun- try. “Révolver practice has been of great benefit to the men. It has done much to sh an esprit de corps in the uepar.- ment. It has resulted in every man arming himself with a fine revolver. “Over 200 first-class regulation revolvers have been purchased in the past two months by men in the department. The police manual now designates the kind of revolver to be used. It must be either a Smith & Wesson or a Colt's of c or larger caliber. “The men are enthusiastic over the con- tests. Some of the officers who probably never before fired their revolvers practiced zealously. and are now first rate shots. Say for me that revolver practice and skill with the weapon are now part and parcel of the police department.”’ MAKES A SHIP UNSINKABLE Novel Apparatus Closes Water Tight Compartments in Case ofa Collision.

Leary’s Commission as Rear Ad. miral Was Neglected Until After His Death. BOSTON, Mass., Jan; 4.—An oversight in the navy department at Washington robbed the late Capt. Richard P. Leary of the knowledge that he had been promoted to a rear-admiral, and he died without the re- ward his long and faithful service to his country entitled him to. It was a promotion which he had looked for, and it is said to have been the one thing which troubled him in his last mo- ments. The appointment was made the day before he died, but it was only when h.s brother-in-law, Dr. Fairfux Irwin, returned from his funeral at Annapolis io Chelsea that the appalatment was found. His sudden death recalled to navy dez artment officials of his promotion by t *resident, and his commission was at once made out, dating one day before his death.

They Offered Their Comrades a Life of Luxury and Pay for Their Rifles if Brought to the Rebels. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The war depart- ment has received from the Philippines copies of a remarkable prociamaticn, signed with the names of nine Americans—seven of them stated as being in the United States miitary service—inviting American sol- diers to desert and join the ranks of the Filipino soldiery. The text. of the docu- ment is as follows: To Whom It May Concern: Dear Fellow Countrymen—After many months among the Filipino people, studying their customs and characters, we, the undersigned, have come to the conclusion that the time has arrived for us to break the silence and let you know the real truth so that you will see the folly of continuation of fighting these people who are defending their country against the cruel American in- vasion in the same manner in which our forefathers: did against England in those glorious days of our grand and noble liberator, Gen. 38. Washing - ton. Since the day we were led by our con- science and presented ourselves to the Philippine authorities we have received the t ot treatment and we are en- joying. a life of luxury without having to put our lives in danger as do you, who still remain in the American ranks fighting for an unjust cause, which, eooner. or later, must surely prove dis- astrous, as it did to the Spanish, not- withstanding that they knew the coun- try and cus.oms of the peopie better than the Americans do. Before we close let us tell you that near every town there are always sta- tioned forces of Filipino troops, to whom. should you so desire, you can present yeurselves with or without your rifles and, to avol danger, it is best to hide it in a secure place and, after vou have ——— yourself, inform the Filipino officer or chief of guerillas, and they will recover it and pay you some money in return. With this we conclude, wishing you the dest of fortune.

The clerk of the House was instructed to correspond with the officials of other cities n order to learn what laws are in force lsewhere for taxing this c.ass of privileges. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Three public improvement bills were re- ported from the committee as having been in their hands longer than do days, the lim- it under the amended charter, and reverted to the House for consideration.

The man who chose this way of ending his life was a stranger. He had never been seen around th barracks before Friday Levening. He had but little to say and the police declare that when he placed the name of T. Jones“ on the register it could be seen that he had been drinking heavily. He slept fitfully on one of the rude bunks, him as if he were pursued. At 4 o'clock he sprang up and looked about him. A few of the other lodgers saw him, but gave no heed. He walked rap.dly across to one of the win- dows. Then be lifted the sash, but those who saw him thought that he was only seekirg fresh air. In another moment they were disallu- of him and leaped forward. The watchers rushed to the window. Blow them on the sidewalk lay an inert mass. They rushed down stairs.

The city counselor's opinion was elicited by a question put by the board, whether it had the right to require a bond to insure the proper laying of sewers and the pump- ing of the World's Falr sewage into the Pine street sewer, and to prevent the pol- lution of River Des Peres. Members of the board hold that they have the right to raise the amount of the company’s single bond, now fixed at $100,00u, and sayethat this right may be exercised. Sewer Commissioner Hermann urged that he be given supervisory authority over the inepection fo.ce employed by the city at the Fair site. President Phillips ruled that this authority belonged to the entire board. Insane Asylum Burned.

A BOY HERO. At Sellwood, near Portland, Ore., there was recently unveiled a monument to Ar- thur Venville, a lad who lies in an unknown grave in the Philippine Islands, says the Youth’s Companion. Venville was born in England, but was brought to this country at the age of 10 months. When he was only 7 years old his father died. charging the child with his last breath, almost, to take care of the mother and sisters. The little fellow promised. He was a quiet boy, of studious habits. He liked to go to school and he wanted to go to college, but he had to take a place na shop to help support the fam ». In lad: his health began to fail and he enlisted as an apprentice in th navy, st:ll g.ving his people wages. The other fellows called him. a ‘girl salior,”’ he told his mother When he came home on a furlough a year later. Venville was on the gunboat Yorktown in 199 She went to the Philupines. and in April was sent to Baler Bay to rescue some Spanish prisoners. The young apprentice was one of the party of 17 which under command of Lieut.Gillmore was sent asho.e to reconnolter. As the crawded launch aproached the si- lent shore there suddenly burst upon it a storm of bullets. Several men were killed, others were desperately wounded, and all were drenched with the blood of their com- rades. Lieut. Gilmore has since told in Mo- Clure’s Magazine of the behavior of Ven- vile, the 18-year-old apprentice, who had never before been under fire. Having no other weapon than a revolver, useless at the range,“ wrote the officer, [ obtained a rifle. dropped by one of the dead. It had been hit in the lock and the clip was jammed in. Venville. one of the apprentice boys, attempted to fix it. A bullet went through the flesh of his neck. Mr. Gilmore, I'm hit,’ he sald. But he continued working at the rifle. “A second shot plowed through the boy's breast and canfe out in his armpit. I'm hit again, Mr. Gillmore.’ “He was stil! trying to pull out the jammed clip when a ball cut a furrow in the left side of his head. Nr. Gilmore, they ve hit me again!” „He wiped the blood from his brown eyes with his coat sleeve and then returned to his task as calmly as If 't were only a mos- quito that had stung him.-It was t three minutes until a ball crasned inte his ankle, inflicting a painful hurt. There was just a slight quiver in the lad's voice as he looked up to me and said: Mr. Gilmore, Im hit once more, but I've fixed the gun, sir.“ One wishes this true tale might have ended, as stories do, with the hero's re- covery and return; but when the other sur- Vivors of Lieut. Gillmore’s party were taken Into the interior Venville. belne un- able to travel, was left behind, and some time later he was killed by the order of an insurgent general. Yet his 18 years, few though they were, had been spenz tu some purpose. The monument stands a’ fair and Stately symbol of the boy's life. The Great Pacific Liners for the Orient.

It is simply rhythm, or intensified rhythm. and I have frequently observed animais keep- ing time to music having a strong, marked rhythm, Rhythm ts the skeleton on which all music is hung and if you will strip the so-valied modern ragtime of its melodies you will have the music that has been in vogue since the beginning of time, and that atiil is the only music of many of the heathen races.

LUCAS HEIRS FORFEIT CLAIMS This Leaves St. Louis Exposition Site Free to Be Used for Carnegie Library Building. Frederick W. Lehmann, president of the li- brary board, expresses the legal opinion that the heirs of the late James H. Lucas have forfeited any claims which they might have had to the section of the St. Louis Exposition site, north of Locust street, and that, therefore, the site, is open to use as a location for the Carnegie Library, in case the Exposition building should be razed and the ground diverted to that pur- pose by the city. Me. Lehmann points out that the Lucas heli had, as a matter of fact, no title to thefground. When Missouri Park, as the site was called before the Exposition days, was deeded to the city by Mr. Lucas it was stipulated that it was to be used for park purposes. The Lucas heirs — 7 reed to walve any claim which they might have to the prop- egy when the Exposition was erected up- On it. If the Exposition is removed the ground will be restored to the city for park pur- poses. Mr. Lehmann holds that the erection of a public library on the site would not be diverting it from park purposes. He ex- presses the belief that the Missouri courts and the Federal courts would rule to this «ffect. The courts of Michigan. he says, have so ruled tn very positive terms. hi A Phenominal Achievement of an American Industry. The officer in charge of the Brewery's Revenue Department. upon expressing his New Year's congra'ulations to Mr. Adolphus Busch, president of the Anheu-| : ser-Busch Brewing Association, submitted to him a carefully compiled statement or the brewery's last year's output, showing the enormous sa'‘es of 1,006,495 barrels of beer, which netted the government an in- come of 1 801.818. Considering that in King Gambrinus, Austria and Bavaria, there are brewerfes which have been in existence for centuries and some eveTT in; this country which have Been establi hed more than 100 years, whose output does not reach 1 of the above figures, the achievement is most remarkable. especially eo since thie record was made in less than 8 years and under the sole and continu- ous 9 of its present president.

Ten-year-old Joseph Meyer of 117 Lombard etreet, with presence of mind rare even in an adult, saved himself from a horrible Geath by fire Friduy evening by taking the best means possible to extinguish the flames in bis clothing. With his ga.ments all ablaze, the boy ran from the house into the yard, where there fe a water trough and a hydrant. Flinging himself full-length into the trough, Joseph reached his hand up through the blistering flames and turned the faucet. N The cooling water poüred upon him, put- ting out the flames, He lay and soaked in the trough until his mother and neighbors arrived and carried him back into the house. The boy had been upstairs lighting a lan- tern, which he had filled from a two-galion can of kerosene. Tossing the still lighted match over his shoulder, he started to go out on an errand. The can was open, and the match, as if aimed at that one point, fell into the oil. House Shaken , by Explosion. The house was shaken by the explosion, and the burning ol) was dashed all over the child. Josebh leaped down the stairway and made for the water trough, but even as he ran the flames seared and bliistered his fiesh, his face, hands and feet being badly burned. Dr. A. L. Fulton of 617 Chouteau avenue pronounced him in a serious condition, Jo- seph is a son of Edward Meyer. The interior of the room caught fire from ‘the burning oll, and an alarm was turned in. It was in responding to this alarm that the hose wagon of Engine Company No. 15 Was wrecked in eollision with a street car and Firemen Kelly, Ost and Kane were ured.

General Manager W. 8. McChesney of the Terminal Railway Association stated to the Post-Dispatch Saturday morning that the associatior has decided to enlarge sev- eral departments at Union Station, and one of the first to receive consideration will be the Bureau of Information. Plans for an additional information de- partment have been completed. It is proposed to establish the branch on the second floor, just above the present bu- reau. The increased traffic has made urgent this improvement. Rallroad representa- tives say the St. Louls passenger business has trebled in three years. During the recent holidays more than 100,000 persons passed through the gates at Union Station. ¥IFTY NEW TRAINS Within the last year 50 trains have been added to the number leaving the station daily, making the total number of incom- ing and outgoing trains over 400 per day. Supt. E. A. Chenery, who is supervising the vetails of the information brancu, seld to the Post-Dispatch: “Our plans call for an elaborate exten- sion of the present information bureau. It will be located in the main waiting hal and one of the chief features will be the establishment of a complete telephone sys- tem. so that a person ma; de able to te. e- phone to any part of the United States. We wil have eight telephone booths. They will be in charge of regular attend- Ants. “In addition there will. be set aside for the convenience of the traveling public a small waiting rcom, where papers and magazines will be furnished. The difficulty now is that at the infor- mation bureau we are trying to accommo- date thousands who call up dally for un- formation and at the frame time afford telephonic conveniences for those arriving at and leaving the station. The immense volume of business which has crowded on th's department during the last year has severely taxed our facilities. Under the new arrangement the down- siairs information bureau will be used ex- clusively as such, so that information cap more readily given over the telephone. FRAUENTHAL IN CHARGE. Both Information bureaus will be in charge of Barney Frauenthal, who, accord- ing to Terminal officers, holds the world's record for the number of questions he is 6 oon falls to answer. Plans ere also being discussed for an ex- tension of the ticket sales department There are 12 ticket sellers, who are kept busy all day. In the Christmas and New Year’s rush they were literally ‘snowed under and the complaints of passcnger agents about the adequate accommodations were vigorous. The baggage or parcel room is also un- der a strain when the station is crowded and arrangements it is said are under way to enlarge this department.

If plans now under consideration are con- summated the Planters’ Hotel will occupy in addition to its present quarters the en- tire block on the east side of Broadway between Pine and Chestnut streets. This would give the Planters’ an entire square, making it practically the largest hote outside of New York City. At present the site referred to is occupled by six brick bulldings, each five stories hizh, A large portion of the property is owned by the Churchill estate. One of the great drawbacks to the nego- tlations is said to have come from the declination of the Western Union Telegraph. Co., whose quarters are at di Pine street, to agree to the proposition of the other property holders, to lease the site to the Planters’ Hotel Co. The fact that.the Western Union has de- cided to remove its offices is taken to in- dicate that this objection has been over- come, What Manager Weaver Says. Manager Henry Weaver of the Planters’ made this statement to the Post-Dispatch: “We have discussed the question of en- larging our facilities for some time. “Propositions have been submitted to the parties owning-the property back of us to erect a large office building which we would use as an annex until the close of the World's Fair. We would not care to lease it perma- nently, although perhaps we might secure an option to do so in case we found busi- ness justified such a large structure. It the new building were erected we would have twice the room we have now. ‘Whether it will be or not is someihing I can't say. The matter has never Oijficiai- iy been b ht to the attention of the board of directors or trustees of the Plant ers’ Hotel. “There has always been a hitch among one or anocher of the property owners, 80 chat the propesition has been materiaily discouraged.” The Flanters' Hotel was built in 1894. The money was gathered practically by popuia: ~uvscriptuon, and SI. O, 00 is said to have been invested in the enterprise. It is lv stories high, and contains 4w rooms. With ihe anne contemplated it would have a wtal- of lov rooms.

Opposition to Mayor Wells’ proposal for the revision of laws relating to street car service was manifested in the House ot Delegates Friday night by Delegates Cro- nin, Sweeney and Troll. Speaker Kelly introduced a bill providing for the employment of special counsel to assist the city law department in compiling a new code of street car laws. Such a measure has been recommended by the mayor in his message, which had just been read to the House. The Kelly bill provided that the new counsel should be employed for a year, not exceed $1,000. Ubjecuon to the expenditure proposed — once raised by Cronin, Sweeney and Troll. sweeney asked whether the comptroller had certified that the amount named was in the city treasury. He criticised the mayor tor proposing such an expenditure “after having reduced the salaries of jani- tors, and when money for street cleaning was lacking. Cronin and Troll seconded Sweeney's thrusts at the mayor and at Speaker Kelly. Troll moved to kill the bill without per- mitting it to go to a second reading. His motion was lost by a vote of 24 to 3, Cronin and sweeney supporting him. Speaker elly and Delegate Geraghty spoke in favor of the measure, and Kelly sald that if he were to be obliged to de- pend on the transit company for support as speaker he would prefer to relinquish the ottice. Delegate Reiss also spoke in favor of the proposed action. The 2 to his bill is considered by Speaker Kelly as an outcropping of a scheme to again reorganize the House.

MESSAGE ; BILLS RESEMBLING IT INTRO- DUCED IN BOTH HOUSES. REMEDIES ARE SUGGESTED nances Be Amended So as to Per- mit Improving the Service. Mayor Wells’ message relating to street car service was read before the Council Friday afternoon, and a bill conforming to some of the mayor’s suggest tons was intro- duced by Councilman Charles Gibson. In his official communication to the Council, the mayor declared that the pres- ent street railway service is inadequat® and unsatisfactory, and said that the gen- eral public desired to bring agaiu. the time when St. Louis would have the best stree: railway system in the United States. Conservative action was considered by the mayor best suiled to present neces- sities. e suggested six specific measures. To prepare the necessary laws, the mayvr suggested that special counsel ve employed by the city. An emergency exists, he said, but care should be taken to keep oficial action free from taint of malice or vin- dictiveness, In his bill, submitted to the Council after the mayor’s message had been read, Mr. Gibson proposed to divide the.city into two districts, with East Grand avenue, Taylor avenue and Meramec street as the prin- cipal streets forming the dividing line. East of this line cars would oe .imited to a speed of eight miles an hour, and west of the line 12 miles would be the maximum. In the central district, cars would be e- quired to run from 6 to 9 in the morning and from 5 to 7 in the evening, at intervals of two and one-half minutes. At other the outer districts five minutes is the smallest interval required. The penalty for violation of the ordinances would be a fine from. $100 to $500 for each offense. After 30 days’: failure to comply with the law. the franchise could re- pealed at the ju ent of the mayor. Councilman Hoffman submitted petitions and memorials from citizens, asking speedy action for the improvement of the service. The Council adjourned until next Tuesday at 5 o'clock. introduced in the House by Speaker. Kelly. he Mayor’s. message was as foliows: THE. MESSAGE. Executive Department, Mayor’s Office, At. Louis, Jan. 3, 1902.—To the Honorable Municipal Assembly: Gentlemen—The street car sci vice now experienced in our city is inadequate and unsatisfactory. Cars are being operated in violation of the ordin- ances under which franchises have been granted authorizing their operation. The irregular manner in which a number of the lines are being operated is a menace to the value of property located along the same, and, if allowed to continue, will, I fear, in the near future, by. bringing about a reduc- tion of assessments, ser.ously affect the rev- enue of the city, which we can so ill afford to spare. ihcre have been a number of ordinances enacteu uncer which the St. Louis Transit Co. and the St. Louis and Suburban Rall- road Co. are now operaung. These ordin- ances are many in number, incongruous in to comprehend, ven after much study, and some are abso.utely conflicting. Taken as a Whole they are utterly inharmontous. That the reople of this city may. be en- avieu clearly to. understand their‘ rights, and city and police officials be laced in pvellicn to more clearly and intelligently enfurce the ordinances, I recommend to your nonorable body that immediate action Le taken, leoking to the amendment of all Street railway ordinances which may be found to req ire it, so that, by new legisla- tion regulating street car traffic, the same may be uniform in its character, and, there- fure, Lrougit witnin the ready comprehen- sion oi ull. I suggest that the following regulations be cousidered by vour body: I. That the city be subdivided into disiricts, and that the rate of speed in each Cistrict be regu.ated in accordance with the character of the district as to population, traffic, etc. 2. That the interval of space. or time, on which cars shall run be clearly defined and reguiated with a view to ples agi ac- commodating traffic at the ours when needed, and to bring about greater uniform- ity on the different lines or divisions op- — in the same districts or subdivi- sions. . 3. That In order to lessen the HMability to accidents, operatives be-required to bring the cars to a standstill at all crossings of intersecting tracks, and that this be done in such a manner as not to obstruct the intersecting street or crosswalk; and, wher- ever a street is paved, quired to stop for the purpose of taking on or letting off passengers, at the near cross- ing instead of at the far crossing, as is now required by ordinance. 4. That all cars be required-to.run from one terminal point of each line or division to the other terminal point ‘thereof, with- out requiring passengers to transfer be- tween such provided with suitable signs to clearly in- dicate, by day and night, their destination. d. That be properly ventilated and tary reasons. 6. Since many of the duties of these pub- lic carriers are now merely of a contrac- tual character, no penalties at present be- ing attached for ronobservance, I also rec- ommend that stringent fines be provided for failure to “ee with. existing reguia- tions, regarding which no such result now follows, and for noncompliance with the proposed regulations. The accommodations’ now offered people of this city in street car service are of such an unsatisfactory character that I feel an emergency exists, and in. conse- quence 1 would further suggest to your honorable body, in order that a plan of ac- tion and a remedy may be arrived at as speedily as possible, of such a nature as will be most thorough and complete, both from a legal and practical standpoint, that an ap- propriation be made for the purpose of em- ploying the best available egal talent to assist the law department of the city and your respective railway committees in for- mulating a bill. having for its ob‘ect the amendment of. existing street railway ordi- nances, and the prosecution of violations thereof. At the same time, gentlemen, I recom- mend and trust that all legislation upon the various topies thus touched on will con- servative and on careful reflection and with due deliberation. Nothing should be done ~~ mee * the eae ern ae or passion. am sure @ pd of St. Louis have no prejudice or —— — 4 ill will toward our street railway. companies— they have merely become justly impatient.
