SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 30.—The at- tempt to murder the peace delegates and destroy the treaty between Japan and Russia, which was drawn up by the‘ plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth and was being sent to the Mikado, was witnessed by officers and passengers on board the Dakota the night of her arrival! in Yokohama. Dr. BL ampere Lopp, surgeon of the Da- kota in speaking of the incident said: “The whole thing happened the night of cur arrival in Yokohama. We were lying in Mississippi Bay just outside of the breakwuter. All the torpedo boats and wer vessels which escorted the peace commission were drawn up in a4 long iines The launch containing the delegation and the treaty left the war- ship and started for the landing. ud- denly one of the torpedo boats anckhgred near the end of the line of battleships, slipped her cable ahd started for the launch. They made for her at a right- angle course. The people on the launch saw the torpedo boat leave the line of crafts and they knew what was coming. The launch was slow, but the torpedo boat rushed on like a shot from a can- non. ‘In a mirnufée she struck the launch, cutting her completely in two. She raced on ‘nto the darkness. We could see the men struggling in the water @nd clinging to the pieces of the ‘wrecked boat. Launches from the battléships were at once sent to their rescue an saved all but one.

He was recently tried by a gen- eral courtmartial at Vancouver Bar- racks and found guilty of conduct unhe- coming an officer and a gentleman. The order for his dismissal arrived yester- day. Gerry was a graduate of West Point, class of '986, and was on duty as quartermaster of the transport Buford at the time the charges were preferred against him.

Indictments Not Likely Due to! Lack of Evidence in Spe- cific Cases. The October grand jury, which has been in session for two: months. has practically completed its work and Sat- ufday morning will present its report to Judge Reynolds. No work was done Thursday, the examination of witnesses being completed Wednesday. The principal. part of the report will deal with the Police and Detective De- partments and it is expected that both will be condemned in strong terms. The grand jury has devoted much attention to charges of graft, laxity, inefficiency and politics ——- policemen and detec- tives. . It is not believed that indictments will be found against any officials of the Police cr Detective Departnfents. But it is known that the grand jury found much difficulty in getting evidence against accused policemen. Witnesses summoned testified with the greatest reluctance and manifested an unwilling- ness to talk that was regarded as im- portant. Found Much Amiss. Although evidence obtained ‘showed clearly that things are_amiss in. the departments, no direct charges in spe- cific cases could be substantiated. The murder of Fred Scheel, which oc- curred a year ago, Was apparently a mystery too deep for the police and de- tectives to solve.

She remon- Strated with him and -toid him that their engagement was at an end. “Grace,’..she said he pleaded, “will you 4.arry me if I cure myself of it?’’ She said she promised. In 1900, she said, he came back to her and said: “Grace, I am over it now, won't you marry me?’ Then Mrs. Hubbard said she renewed the engagement. Her testimony was ‘the sensatibh of Wednesday afternoon’s depositions.

It was his desire, Mrs. Hubbard said, that she.should not work pending their marriage.

DID SPENCER HOLE UP HUGH HERPEL2) Jefferson City Youth- -Tells Story of Convict Vaughn's Supposed~Accomplice> ~~ JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 30.—A young man named Hugh Herple made public this morning a story that may throw some light an the prison break last’ Friday, “and upon the movements | of Harry Spencer; the young ‘ex-con- vict who smuggled the munitions of war into the stockade. Herple’s story is that about half an hour after the break at the prison Friday he was held “up “on the St. Louis road, near the Fay brick works, a mile east of the prison. by a young man whom he says answered fairly well the description of Spencer. He piaced a pistol at Herple’s head and told him to give up what he had. Herple had on his person only a pocket knife. The fellow took that and told Herple that if he said any- nine about the hoeiduy he would kill

Herple did not say anything about the holdup until today. Then he told a friend, who told some of the officers. The theory is that Spencer was in COuCea Iman: in one of the ravines of the prison, waiting for and his comrades to join After hearing the explosion and sound of the pursuit. he con- eluded that it was time for him to de- camp, and heid up herple in the hope ithat he might secure some money. Herple says that he supposed Spen- cer disappeared in the woods in an eastward direction. This is the only evidence that Spens eer, lingered in the vicinity of the trison after delivering the arms to the stockade, in accordance with his agreement with Vuughn, Wednesday night. Farmers living in the vicinity of the Moreau Bridge, which, according to the confession of Ryan, the convicts planned to blow up, say that they no- ticed several times Friday morning a well-dressed young man examining the bridge. He spent nearly half the day there, but was not observed ‘by them after 1 p,m. They are unable to say whether his description agrees , with that of Spencer. DIED AT FUNERAL.

They lived as man and wife up to Virginia's death. The latter always dressed in wornan’s clothing and performed the housework.

The commission bill has already been branded as the administration measure, although ft is not definitely known that the President gives it his unqualified approval. It is along the lines recom- mended by the President, but goes fur- ther In come respects than his sugges- tions. After the bill was shown to the Presi- dent last Monday some changes were made and this fact creates the impres- sion that the President is entirely satis- fied with its provisions. The bil goes further than the Presi- dent in that it gives the Interstate Com- merce Commission power to make min- imum as well as maximum rates, thus} preventing discriminations against local- it'es, and authorizing the commission to institute inquiries upon its own volition without previous complaints having been filed. The President asked for power to fix maximum rates and to conduct inquiries after complaints were made... The new bill covers 27 typewritten pages. It was read to the committee and will be printed for distribution. The committee members present were Senators Elkins, Foraker, Dolliver, Keane, Newlands and Foster of Louis- jana. The bill will be taken up by the com- mittee Friday afternoon. A member of the committee, who carefully examined the bill, indicates its chief features -as follows: ‘ Charges Must Be Published. Proposition 1. To define the word transportation as used in the bill so as to include all instrumentalities em- ployed by carriers, including elevators, terminals, cars, whether owned by the carrier or other parties, for refrigerat- ing, ventilating or other purposes and to require the carriers to furnish = such transportation on reasorable request from the shipper, publishing the total charges for such transportation as now required by law. 2. It makes the through or joint rate, where goods are shipped from one part of the United States to another or a for- eign country subject to the control of the interstate commerce law, and en- forces this provision by making the-mer- chandise which is handled through a foreign country from a point in «the United States and delivered within the United States subject to customs duties at the frontier, unless the through rate is filed with Interstate Commerce Com- mission and published as by iaw re- quired. 3. It authorizes ihe commission, through inspectors appointed by them, to examine the accounts of railroads so far as they relate to interstate com- merece, forbids the keeping of any other books or accounts except those pre- scribed by the commission and requires the roads to make a greater variety of reports as to their organization, busi- ness, agreements, ctc. 4. It gives to the Interstate Commerce Commission the power, where rates anid practices of railways are complained of by individuals or corporations, including other carriers or trade organizations, or municipal corporations, as unjust or un- reasonably discriminatory to determine upon fuil hearing what a juSt and reas- onable rate or practice is, which shall take the place of rate practice con- demned by the commission and-in dis- charging this duty the commission is given power— ‘a’ To fix a maximum rate. ‘D” To fix a differential and to pre- scribe beth a maximum and minimum rate to enforce the same when that may be necessary to prevent discriminations forbidden by the third section, but not otherwise, “e’’ To change the classification of any article, The biil also gives the commission power, in case it fixes a point rate and the carriers interested are not able tv agree on its apportionment, to make a Supplemental order apportioning the same. A similar power is given to establish through rates and joint rates and to fix the terms and conditions under which the routes shall be operated, if the car- riers fail or refuse to agree upon the same. It also provides that when the owner of the property transported renders any service in connection with the transport- ation or furnishes any instrumen ality used, the commission may, on com- plaint, determine what is a reasonable charge to be paid by the carrier for such service or instrumentalities, GOOD NEWS, To ihose who are sickly and run, down, or whose stomachs have gone “pack on them,” we bring the good news that they can be cured, but they must give up old methods and com- mence tak.ng —HOSTTETER’S ‘STOMACH BITTERS This is the modern and most success- of such Poor j ford } original Charter or to McCurdy. PARIS, Nov. 30.—The correspondent of the Associated Press today located An- drew Hamilton, who was confidential legislative representative of the insur- ance companies at Albany,"and had half an hour's talk with him concerning his plans and his answer to the requests of the Armstrog insurance committee that he gave orders to h's agents in New York to surrender his papers to the committee and go before the committee and testify. Mr. Hamilton arrived here a few days ago from Bad Nauheim Springs, where he had been for some time taking the cure under the care of doctors. He looks fairly well. His face is ruddy, but he still complains of the effect of his ailment and remains under the doctors treatment pend:ng their deter- mination as to whether it will be neces- sary for him to resume the springs.

Mr. Hamilton was with one of his intimate friends who is familiar with his af- fairs, and who explained some details which Mr. Hamilton did not wish to be publicly discussed at this times Mr. Hamilton did not seek to avoid the meeting. On the contrary, he Said that he had not the slightest desire to con- ceal his whereabouts, although, owing lo his continued ill-health and the at- tention required in making up his an- Swer to the Armstrong committee, he the cure at paid mot’ desire to see visitors. * He Is Formulating Reply.

By Leased Wire From the New York Burean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The Standard Oil clique in the Mutual Life company, headed by H. H. Rogers, is now working for the election of James P. Eckles, for- mer Comptroller of the Currency, to be president. In this the Standard Oil crowd has the support of George P. Faker, head of the J. P.

Franke displayed a roll of bills con- taining about $25 in the saloon where one of the men who clubbed him as he walked out had been drinking with him. He did not entirely lose conscious- ness, and clung to the money. Mrs. Irene Davenport of 10 South Twenty-second street was robbed of a diamond ring, a gold watch, earrings, a pearl brooch and other jewelry, valued in all at $350. The articles were stolen by burglars who entered the house while Mrs. Davenport was shopping down- town. Entrance was gained by forcing a rear window. White Man Robs Negress. Miss Lizzie Washington of 2019 Carr street, a teacher in Dumas School (col- ored), Fourteenth street und Lucas ave- nue, was halted Wednesday evening while returning home from the school by a white footpad, who, in spite of her resistance, tore from her hands a purse containing $1.40 and a watch valued at $50. The man sprang at Miss Washington from behind a billboard. He escaped. An envelope containing $22.24, secreted in the stand of the Union News £o. on the midway at Union Station was stolen by burglars while the stand was closed for the night. A window of the booth was pred open. Sneak thieves stole a pair of trousers and $8.6 from the home of Frank Rey- nolds, 907 Market street. Two trunks in the home of G.

Mr. Eckles has been assisted in this work by James-M. Beck, one of the counsel of the Mutual Life.

Bitter Fight for Control, The elimination of President MeCurdy does not by any means settle the strife within the company. He could have been dropped from the presidency any tine within the last two weeks, but for a conflict among the trustees as to his successor and the future control of the company. There is the bitterest kind of a fight now on for control. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BRUMO Quinine Tabiets. Druggists refund mouey if it fails to cure. K W.

It was ciearly established tnat fights for personal in- sults were not to be investigated.’ As to the charge of using or provok- ing language toward branch, argued ihat Meriwether hud not gone iv prancns room wo provoke Nyct but merely to seek an explanation. of a cuuiit.on that became intolerable to him and which, if not obviated, would have driven him froin the academy. ‘twice,’ he said, *““Merfwether had shown the most generous spirit in refus- jing to hit Branch when the rules al- lowed him to strike, and in offering to give up the fight after having commited an unintentional foul, and had shown the possession of the very quality that made Farragut and Decatur. No motive nas been shown in this case, as the specifivat ons allege. nO te contrary, his conduct has been generous. “On the third cahrge, of disorder, in a spirit of candor we must admit that these acts were disorderly, but the ac- cused has had his punishment. The su- perintenent said that, judging from pre- cedent, dismissal was too severe a pen- alty for that offense. We ask the con- sideration of the Court.”’ Lieutenant-Commander James K. Rob- inson said he was delighted that the autopsy had been asked and performed. It has made Meriwether feel that he did not cause Branch’s death and that was better than merely being acquitted on the ground of reasonahle doubt. Lieuten- ant-Commander Robinson then read from ‘*‘Tom Brown at Rugby" about schoolboy fights and appealed to the Court to say if the principles did appear: to them to be the right ones.

LOT OF TURKEY FOR HUNGRY TOTS Bountiful Thanksgiving Din- ~ ners for City’s Poor at Many Places. PLENTY FOR THE POOR Children’s Ragamuffin Parade to Be More Varied Than Ever Before. The way the weather changed to ush- ‘er in Thanksgiving in the right way was almost a sort of surprise party. In the beginnig of the week everyone was in a bad humor because they thought it was going to be another In- dian summer day, but it started blow- ing Tuesday night, however, and howled all through the night and Wednesday in true wintry fashion and just as if.it were all arranged Thursday was as cold and crisp as anyone could wish. Business Suspended. So all good St. able, are spending the day in the most satisfying kind of thanksgiving. The greater majority of them threw work aside and with those at the services at the churches and at the Thanksgiving dinners at home and at the afternoon spent at the football games, and by the fire in the homes, the downtown streets were practically deserted. Many of the big stores and factories Glosed for the day—all of them closed , at least during the afternoon. The City : Halli and all the city and government wulldings with the exception of the hos- pitals and Jail were as grim and silent as they are on Sunday. If it were not for the fact that the | ‘Hd’ is not on ih the hotels and bars | of the business district would look something like it did on the opening day of the World’s Fair. But the fact that there is liquid refreshment to be had and all the day in which to find and par- take of it had made the downtown ho- tels and cafes the Mecca for single and collective pilgrimages from all parts of the city. Other Side of the Picture. But although almost all St. Louls was in the happiest of humors down in the slums and the districts of the city’s poor there was much that makes the black background for the main picture of the general rejoicing and happines. In the tenements where whole fami- lies are huddled together in one room the day meant little more than another day for which the support of the family receives no pay. An4 out in the western part of the city where “squatters’’ congregate, like in the little settlement of “Ragtown,” the cold, keen air that has brought such delight to more fortunate St. Louls- ans is using up their scant stock of coal and numbing’ gloveless hands and wretchedly clad feet and bodies. To soften as much as possible the suf- ferings of these many who live in the most fashionable residence quarters of the city ventured out on errands of charity. Many a West End carriage with the monogram of some well-known family was on the rounds of the voor districts with baskets piled full with good things to eat and with more sub- stantial gifts of money. Baskets Distributed. And not only these Individual chari- ties, but all the provident associations of the city were making special efforts on this day to help the poor.

FINE FOR SENATOR {CUPID MAKES 118 WHO DEFIED JUDGE Hon. Thomas Patterson Shook His Finger at Supreme Court Before Stung. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 3#.—Just before he was fined $1000 for contempt of court, Unitea States Senater Thomas M. Pat- terscn, owner of the News-Times, shook his finger at the chief justice and de- clared in the most positive terms the ar- ticles alleged to be contemptuous, were true in entirety. The room full of spec- tators were astouaded, as proprietors of other Denver papers when cited under similar circumstances years ago, apolo- zed. Chief Justice Gabbert then sentenced Senator Patterson to pay a fine of $1000 and to stand committed until paid. Sen- ator Patterson's counsel, however, took an 2"peal to the United States Supreme

iuc contempt cases grew out of the recent election decision when the Su- preme Court decided that county officers chosen at last fall’s election were not en- titled to their seats, and ordered that Hepublican candidates who had received the next highest number of votes be seated. Senator Patterson printed a car- toon showing Chief Justice Gabbert as lord high executioner beheading Sheriff Hamilton Ammstrong. Editorials in both his papers were also alleged to be con- temptuous. Commeuats of newspapers on the State election and labor disturbances are believed to have led up to the court taking action in this particular case, In the decision, Justice Steele, the only Democratic judge on the Supreme Court bench, dissented. Senator Patterson's counsel included Senator coed M. Tel- ler and seven leading Denver lawyers. In a similar case a Federal judge fined an editor of Charlotte, N. C. He ap- pealsed and Justice Pritchard of the Unit- ed Stutes Circuit Court held that criti- cism after a trial was not contempt.

COUPLES THANKFUL Ministers Kept Busy Pronounc- ing Vows for Happy Pairs. :

ONE LICENSED TO HUNT

Returning Later, He Got Docu- ment Permitting Him to Wed. St. Louis ministers and justices of

the peace arose early Thursday and prepared for the expected visit of those wishing to be married. One hundred and eighteen licenses were issued Wednesday, and as most of the 236 happy persons had decided to be married on Thanksgiving day, there was Dienty of business ahead for those entitled to say the words of the | marriage ceremony and receive the fee therefor. This year’s record falls below that established last year, when 146 li- censes were issued the day before Thanksgiving. But tast year was World's Fair time. Cupid has a right | to feel proud of Wednesday's work, ' His devotees ranged from minors, who! poe their Eonte along, to octo- | enarians ,reparing to surprise their grandchildren’ ° . Justice Carroll established tem- porary headquarters Wednesday in the private office of Recorder of Deeds Young, and was there all day to give first aid to the lovelorn. Sev- en couples availed themselves of his. services during the day. Rev. W. H. Pierce, a negro Baptist | minister, also stayed at the marriage license office al] day, but he might as well have stayed at home. . Licenses were issued to five colored couples, but they said that they had already made arrangements for ceremonies and Rev. Mr. Pierce left at the close of the day, remarking that he saw no Thanksgiving gurkey in prospect. Got Hunter’s License. Louis Bell of 2833 Franklin avenue was flustered when he entered City Hall and found the clerk. who was' issuing hunting licenses. He stood in} line for a time and then said, “I want one of them, too.” An hour later he returned and said} he wanted to marry Miss Mary Beck- er, and that the license he had was all wrong. It was canceled and he was directed to the proper office. Eleven marriage licenses were sued in Clayton Wednesday. «¢r — . ‘ wi Pr a & ‘A oa — io Suase Our mam- moth Doll Depart- ment is the most complete in St. Louis.

Th AATION ~ OFFERS | THANKS Celebrate 250th Sh: Auniversery of Race’s Admission to Equality.

IN AMERICA

Unite With Gentiles With Double Cause for Observ- ing the Day. ‘For the Jews of America Thursday Was a day of double ‘Thanksgiving. Besides uniting with all Christians in the customary services of the univer- sally recognized day of Thanksgiving they celebrated the 25% # anniver- sary of the settlement of their race in the first country to admit the Hebrew to equai rights enjoyed by his fellow mon. Me ‘The celébration was the most ambi- tious yet attempted by any race outside of its native country. ‘In every city, Yown and hamlet between New York and an Francisco wherever there are sons and daughters of the Semitic race there were signal celebrations. * The most elaborate preparations were made for the celebration in New York. ‘It is under the direction of a committee of men well known throughout the vountry. But in the other great cities of the TU'nited States the ceremonies were hardly less impressive. The St. Louls celebration was heid at the Shaare Emeth Temple, at the corner of Lindeil boulevard and Vande- vyenter avenue, which is one of the fin- est Jewish synagogues in the country. The services began at 10:30 a. .m., and will continue during the greater part of the day. On the program are addresses by prominent members of the Jewish. Church and by laymen, both Jewish and Gentile. The sorvices were cpened with a ' prayer by Rabbi M. Spitz. editor of the Jewish Voice, followed ‘by Rabbi Henry Mess ne, reading what are known as the reeponsive psalms.,Rabbi Leon Harrison “mess a disease of the’ nervous sys- ”* can heal ranes ‘which tem.

delivered an address and was fol- lowed by Judge Leo Rassieur, who also delivered an address. Rabbi Sale, pastef éf the Shaare Emeth Temple; saié the Benediction and the sermon. The services were interspersed with mus'- cal numbers af rare. excellence. by 4 choir which was selected from all the Jewish congregations in the. city. The great celebration throughout the country besides being unique in the his- tory of the Semitic people is of especial interest to Americans, both because of the part America has played in freedon: to the nation that has been without a country since the Christian era, and be- cause of the greet sympathy that has been aroused for them by the Muscovite ‘massacres. It also recalls the interest- ing history of the gradual migration of | the Jews to this country until their ; number has swelled to a million and a quarter. Jewish tmmigration to the United States began in the year 1644. The great colony of Hebrews who had drifted to Brazil vl i, F the reign of the inquisi- tion found little betterment of = their condition in the Spanish po on. and, led by Jacob Barsimon, they landed at New Amste

They at first met violent opposition. Old Peter Stuyvesant stormed around on

his wooden leg and swore and threat- ened until the condition of the refugees became pitiable. The persistence of the race, however, resulted in better cofditions, and a short time afterwards the Dutch West India Co. prevailed upon the Governor to grant the Jews a sort of qualified char- ter of political rights, the principal ob- ject of which was to derive a profit which would result from the trade with the Hebrews still in Brazil and those in Holland. Although the Jews were still ham- pered, both fn their business and their worship, by the aly ge existing against them, they at last estab- lished -a foothold, -and in the troubled times of the revolutionary period the Jews, left comparatively alone, scattered to different cities, the greater majovity going to. New York and Philadelphia. Settlement at Newport. Next to New York, the earliest Jewish settiement in the Unitd Stats was at Nwport, R.

In 1763 a synagogue was dedicated, there being then about 65 fam- ilies in | the “g England colony, among them Aaron Lopez, a rich ship owner, an Jacob Rodérigues Rivera, who intro- duced the ttle age hel of spermaceti into America.

The persecution of the Jews in Ger- many, between 1830 and 1840, drove large numbers of them to the United States, but most of them remained in the East- ern cities. Gradually they drifted to the Ohio Valiey and from there to Chicago. The heaviest immigration, however, has been from 1880 to the. present time, during which the anti-Semitic persecu~- tions in Russia and. Roumania saw an increase of about a million Jews in the population of the United States. With the Jewish population about 2 per cent of the total in the United States, It is a question whether any single element in the population has ac- complished as. much toward the devel- opment of the wealth and power of the States as this one during the 20 years since the Hebrews first settled in the land.

Counse] for the Terminal Association, allowed 30 days to answer the petition filed by United States District’ Attorney Dyer Wednesday, is preparing to resist the Government proceedings on the ground that “while the Terminal Rail- road Association is composed of 14 rail- road companies it is not a part of any of these companies, but is in every re- spect an independent organization.’’ The Government charges the Terminal Association with operating in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890 in that the 14 roads ewmposing the associa- tion are thus in an “unlawful agree- ment” to restrain trade. Terminal Denies The Terminal management say the railroads are merely stockholders in the association and there is no agree- ment among them. The independence of the individual lines it will be asserted in the Termi- nal’s answer has been maintained at all railroad meetings; even at the sessions of the Eastern railroads when the mat- ter of abolishing the bridge arbitrary was under discussion. The combine -will also contend that ogg Terminal Association does not own ads Bridge or the Wiggins Ferry. It will be argued that the Terminal] is independent of the railroads and vice versa. ‘he reply wil also emphasize the point that the Terminal Association does not own the Merchants’ Bridge, but merely‘leases it under an arrange- ment to pay the bonds of the. bridge company. Former Attorney-General Crow, who has been retained a's special counse] to assist the Government in the prosecu- tion of the Terminai monopoly, has an entirely. opposite view of the matters at issue. Question One of Control. “The question,’’ said he, “is not so much one of ownership as of control. Does the Terminal Association operate ths Wiggins Ferry, Merchants’ and “ads and Alton Bridges and controj the rates charged by each? That is the Vital point. “If the injunction is granted all the raiiroad companies in the Association would be required to operate indepen- dently of the association. “ They could not continue any agreement to control rates between. St. l.culs and East 86. Louis. “All of the component parts of the Terminal Combine, including the Mer- chants’ Bridge, would revert to the original .owners and all questions = of eyuity arising from the transfer would be settled by the Court. If a temporary injunction is granted all the: railroads wn the association must act independent- .y and keep sepuraie accounts of their vusiness between St. Louis and Basc 3st. Louis, ay themselves open ceedings. “The Sherman anti-trust law, on which the proceeding is based, provides .or criminal as wel as civil action against the officers, directors and agents of an association fornjed in restraint o1 rade. it is provided that on coftyiction fine cf %Ow or imprisonment not to exeeed one year may be imposed, “So far as i know couUuses for the soverniment has not yet aeemed it ad- -iaable te institute criminal proceed- gs.” St. Lous has - more Post-Dispatch “Agreement.” to conieémpt pro-

The filing of the injunction suit against the St. Louis Terminal Railways Association by Federal District Attorney Dyer, at the instance of the Attor- General, and under the instruction of the Presi- dent, is a tremendous stride toward the solution of the bridge and terminal problem. The suit goes beyond the abolition of the bridge ar- bitrary and strikes at the existence of the . monopoly by virtue of which the bridge tolls have been imposed upon St. Louis commerce. It strikes at the monopoly as a combination devised for the purpose of controlling all the railway exits and entrances to St. Louis and thus acquiring the power to impose monopoly charges on the commerce using these exits and entrances. The monopoly is assailed as an essential menace to the interests of all the people dependent upon the commerce passing over the bridges of St. Louis. The suit is the culmination of the legal side of the Post-Dispatch’s campaign against the bridge and ter- minal monopoly. In addition to the work of arous- ee the citizens of St. Louis to a realization of the “Warden and menace of a bridge monopoly and of the necessity of taking steps to combat it, the Post-Dis- has persistently directed its efforts to the task of obtaining for St. Louis freedom from both the Oppression and the menace of monopoly through the enforcement of law. The suit instituted before the State Supreme Court by Attorney-General Crow *-diled. The effort to get former Secretary of War t to confiscate the Merchants’ Bridge under the tter forbidding consolidation failed. The hope of citizens for legal relief now centers in this suit brought under the Sherman anti-trust law of 1890, Which forbids combinations in restraint of interstate merce. The case parallels that of the Northern urities -merger. ‘The Post-Dispatch does not share the opinion of who hold that common bridges and terminals a good thing for St. Louis, regardless of wheth- ‘these common means of transportation are con- ‘tolled by & monopoly. We not only oppose monop- charges and monopoly oppression, but the men- Hy Age of monopoly power, We do not regard any set- “« flemen rminat’ pi of the te final so long as her y exists in a combination of railroads the pow- ‘to impose monopoly charges upon the commerce of the city.. The fact that this power may ot. be ex- a *_ exvized at one time is not a guarantee that it will be exercised at all. So long as the power ts, it may be exercised at any time and consti- a menace to public interests. If the conclusion & this’ suit is a dissolution’ of the bridge and ter- inal combination, at which it ‘aims, there may be ships in the adjustment of the new conditions | “Rg independent bridges, terminals and railrdads. But) i the final settlement the city will at least be free from both the grasp of monopoly and the danger in- %}/ volved in the existence of the power of monopoly. »» While this suit is in progress, it is idle to talk of Gompromines or agreements with the St. ‘Louis Ter- | vA ininal Railways Association with reference to grants Sesshould enter into agreements with do not believe that St. Louis a monopoly . formed to control its traffic. We do not believe that it can afford to grant fresh privileges to a monopoly and concessions. We oe at any time may exercise its power to oppress . at great import to St. Louis. a commerce. It would be foolish, even if h grants and agreements were allowable under mary circumstances, to have any dealings of that i with a monopoly which may be dissolved into | constituent parts by the Federal Court. ie legal questions involved in the suit must, of Ss », be decided “by the court. The decision will It will determine her there is relief in the law, or whether the } and terminal combine is to be perps rpetuated. determine largely whether St. Louis must take radical and effective action to free the city’s | traffic by insuring competition which will at least make it impossible for the monopoly to perpetuate igh ou of St. Louis commerce. ee _ President Roosevelt has told in his virile hunting | 8 of his friend Abernathy, the Texan who catches ves with his hands.

BELLS. The Wednesday rush of applicants for marriage li- censes who thus hastened because they wished to make sure of wedding on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, indicates a proper appreciation of the true | spirit of that great American festival. All good Americans want to return thanks fervent- ly and sincerely on Thanksgiving Day, and they know in their American souls that there’s nothing for which a man can be more truly grateful than for a good wife, and nothing that should so lead a wom- an to Thanksgiving as a good husband. The happy home is the foundation stone of the structure of | American national greatness, and the happy home is. possible only as the inevitable result of the happy marriage. Thus it is that the chiming of bells which ushers in Thanksgiving Day is largely a chiming of wedding bells. May its music never grow fainter or fall on unappreciative ears in this land of freedom and hap- py homes! It is the proper accompaniment for turkey and cranberry sauce and the thankful spirit. = = Ss i ii With the opportunity to contribute to the hospital fund any sum from one penny to a million dollars, we should be thankful on Saturday and Sunday also. > i, ip AN ASIATIC AWAKENING. The demonstration of the powers to compel the Sultan to give decent government to Macedonia may result in a general conflagration, but will proba- bly lead to nothing more serious than another in- terchange of diplomatic notes. The powers dre not afraid of the Sultan. They are afraid of each other. And Abdul Hamid, who is not a fool, takes advantage of the divisions among the nations which would chastise him. The Sultan feels especially cocky just now because he has of late years gained great prestige as head of the Mohammedan world. Moreover, the Asiatics are becoming self-conscious since Japan’s victory and are beginning to ask themselves if they must al- ways submit to European domination or bullying. They remember when Europe was on the defensive and Asiatic guns were heard at the gates of Vi- enna. With Asia preparing to crystallize its power into a vital self-conscious spirit, and Europe divided by commercial rivalries and weakened by class jeal- ousies there is reason to fear the outcome of any disturbance. And while this demonstration is not likely to be the signal, it is evident that something * brewing. ) >>>. rer The hazers who bound a student to a railroad track have been released with a reprimand. Have the Indiana courts gone foolish? LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE BOXING BOUTS AND BETTING. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. in your Issue of the 26th, report was made of raid on an amateur boxing tournament in the Burlington Building, on Eighth and Olive streets. Like the man- agers of the’ now defunct racetrack business, who claimed their exhibits tended to improve the race- horse, so, the managers say, boxing tournaments make better men physically. it is a common belief that the best horse did not always win because of bets, and it is also common as- ertion that the best men in bouts sometimes lose, to win bets. Again, there is another I'keness to the racecourse evil. 1. e.. the temptation to men of small means to attend and take chances to win money, or serve the State at Jefferson City as defaulters. Athletics may be good, but gambling and prize fights are bad. JOS. BARNETT. A GONG ON THE REAR. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would suggest an electric gong on rear of or un- der rear vestibule, to be controlled by motorman by means of a push button conveniently placed. He whose first duty is to note that track is clear, could sound a warning of any approaching car from oppo- site direction, and the public would be quick to ap- preciate the danger signal. The veteran car patron as well as stranger always take note of any car gong while at crossing and would doubly so if same was sounded from rear of car one is about to pass. Under the present system the motorman has no means to warn the absent-minded pedestrian of ap- proachinge danger, while the motorman’s gong on the approaching car is sounded, {ts effect is partially lost | by being ou the far side of standing car, and is often mistaken for signals on stationary car. Then a sig- nal or danger gong on rear end of car would cause one to hesitate before crossing. This system has been employed quite successfully in varfous manufacturing plants where machinery is often shut down and started again, to warn all per- sons who might be within the danger zone. Cc. A. SMYTHE. A SCOTCH ‘CH VERDICT. To the Evitor of the Post-Dispatch. Tt is with feelings of disgust that I read of the crusade against the money sharks, not against said sharks, but against the poor fools who patronize them. How in the name of common sense these railroad and telegraph employes, men of good. posi- tions and supposedly sound intelligence, will go to them when they know what they are, just beats me. A year ago I, a foreigner, arrived in St. Louis without a friend in the city. Six months ago I was married when I had less than $6 to my mame and no job. Now I have a house full of furniture, do not owe a cent, $(0 In the bank, and only earn $50 per month, and never was guilty of going to a money lender. The suffering wrought in eaid clerks’ homes: is simply the result of thriftlessness and carelessness so characteristic of the American young man.

And all you think and all you know; "Twill be the best for you.” “Shall I tell wifie everything?’ I asked another chap, Who had been married seven times And still was on the map. He turned and flashed upon me & | Commiseriting glance, As if to say,. “I pity you In your dull igaorance’ “Tell wifle nothing!” he exclaimed without @ pause, The Unintelligible Is Great. It was in Detroit, and the play was one of those innumerable pieces, where the wife, discovering the husband un- faithful, protests in a stormy scene that she will go forth and do likewise. A man sat in the pit, paying little atten- tion to what was occurring on the stage, when suddenly his ear caught an unfamiliar sentence in Bernhardt’s ti] rade. He sat up and listened. To his astonishment the actress, while weeping and scolding and storming at her hus- band quite as she should, was deliver- ing herself in choice French of an in- vective against Detroit hotels in gen- ¢ral, and the hotel where she was reg- istered in particular. The food was bad, the service was worse, and if ever she came to that house again might she hope to die and dwell forever in America. So she spoke, and fell weeping at her stage husband’s knees. The au- dience, thrilled by her ‘“‘eonsummate art, burst into rapturous applause. The man in the pit gazed around for some sign of appreciation in a fellow listener, but in vain. Nobody near him under- stood French. ‘Well.’ said one of the men to whom the story was told, “I’m free to admit that all actors seem great to me who speak a language I cannot understand.”’ There is more than a grain of truth in that remark. After the Funeral. P. F. Rothermel, counsel for the Lake Superior corporation, as the reorganized Consolidated Lake Superior fs called, was coinplimented the other day on the excellent year that the concern has had. Mr. Rotherme! smiled and answered: “Yes, the company has gotten ; on its feet. It has recovered quickly. It ‘was not badly hurt, after all. And thus | it resembles a widow of whom I heard recently. “This lady's husband died, ‘}or two after the funeral cman ished at so quick a recovery, the visitor Saeed: “ ‘Well, well, I expected to see you in the deepest distress.’ ‘Ah,’ said the widow pathetically, ‘you should have seen me yesterday.’ ”’ Unfortunate. A certain merchant of Baltimore, who is well known for his philanthropic spir- it, was approached one day by an Irish- inen, formerly in his employ, who made a touching appeal for financial assist- ance. Said he: ° “l trust, sor, that ye’ll find it conven- lent to help a poor man whose house an’ everything in it burned down last week, sor.’’ The merchant, although~he gives with a free hand, exercises considerable cau- tion in his philanthropy, so he asked: “Have you any papers or certificates to show that you have lost everything by fire, as ‘you say?’ The Irishman scratched his head as if bewildered. Finally he replied: “I did have u certificate to that effect, sor, signed before a notary; but unfor- tunately,.sor, it was burned up with the rest of me elects!’’ e —_ Hifalutin. The late Alpheus D. Du Bois, the New York school teacher, who, though his salary never exceeded $3000, managed to accumulate a fortune of $750,000, was a man of thrift and of system. “Mr. Du Boia,"’ sald a school teacher, “was systematic in everything.

What shall we do?’ “Send breathed, need of medical assistance—though I fear it will be in vain.” A servant soon brought the family physician and also a tra:ned nurse. Long and arduous were their labors on behalf of the dying man, the dootor himself remaining at the house until late on the morning following the nght of storm and horrer. When he took his leave he said to Iris and her mother: “He cannot live beyond midnight, to- night. He is now unconscious and will probably remain so until just before the end comes.

He kissed her reverently and left her. But for Iris there was no sleep that night.. Pallid as a lily, with shadowy blue eyes, she knelt in prayer through the long, lonely hours as they trailed along towards midnight. A quarter to 12—the pretty cathedral mellow chimes—then—a wild shrek echoed through the house and Miss Wilkes, ashen white, came rushing from the room which had been allotted to Ar- chibald Faring. “Miss Lindsay—Miss Lindsay,” she screamed, frantically, to Iris, ‘“‘Heaven preserve us—something frightful is hap- pening or I am losing my mind! Keep away from that room—oh, keep away if you value your reason! I am strong and not naturally nervous, but I would not go back to the room where that man is for all the gold it would hold.” Without a@ moment's hesitation, Iris arose and went straight to Faring’s room, while shaking like a breeze-blown grass plume the nurse cowered in a corner, her hands over her ashen-hued face. Archibald was sitting in his bed, with wildly rolling eyes. Iris saw this by a single long ray of vivid, baleful green light—for the night lamp, which had been left burning, was extinguished, and all the room, but for that slender, brilliant, baffling gleam, was in dark- ness. “Iris,” he said, taking her hand ten-' | q clock upon the mantel annéunced it in }.

Oh, lose no time—consult it quickly—the ring brought from afar through the deadly peril! Iris, I implore you, consult the ring and tell me before I go if—if—there—is—pardon!” Iris sped into the hall, where the electric lights | were burning clearly, and glanced at : her hand; then her eyes grew wide with , fright and wonder. The ring—the mysterious ring given whose soul seemed _trembling between the ebon hands, i whose clutch meant despair and the ‘ily hands which held forth hope—was / gone! It had vanished completely, leav- ) Brighter, ing but a slight. rosy mark around the finger which it had lately encircled. Iris ran back to the room and was transfixed by the scene which met her view. Every object in the ap. rmment was outlined in flame that burned now gold, then blue, then red; while upon the bed where lay the dying man was a pall of darkest night. Downwards came the hands of black- ness clutching at the sufferer, who beat them with a gesture of flerce defiance. more creiiy trumphant gleamed that Eye of horror; nearer and ' nearer came those ghostly hands. A ‘low muttering—a dull moaning sound filled the room. Suddenly a clear voice called, “Come, beloved, come!”’ Faring sprang erect and rushed past the approaching hands, while a great white light flooded the room. ‘Nome Nome! I come!’ he cried. Hie outstretched hands were caught by the ones of his dead love and he ‘was drawn into the center of the won- derful light. In a moment the brilliant light disappeared and, looking up, Iris saw the myst¢rious Eye had van'shed from above the couch. Woman’s love and pity had baffled its evil power. _ The End. A BOY SCULPTOR. Frederick MacMolnes as a sculptor be- gan when a boy of 5 years, scarcely tall enough to reach up to the to p of the kitchen table, he modeled little fig- witness—a pate and slender woman wit- ness: “ ‘Now, tell the Court, please, what you did on the morning in question be- tween the hours of 8 and 9 o’ciock?” “‘Well,’ that slender and pale lady began, ‘I first dressed the three chil- dren and saw that their breakfast was properly served. Then I darned two pairs of stockings, mended a hole in my husband's pocket, made the five beds, bathed and dressed the baby, curled its hair, and heated its biscuit and milk. After that I dusted the par- lor and dining-room, watered the plants and picked fresh flowers for the parlor vases.

The principal clauses n the protest filed against Erman were that he was incompetent and that his eyesight was poor. In the absence of Capt. Reuter the charges were filed by Downs, one of the } players of the team. Much antagonism was shown toward Erman by the Hiber- nians ard a discussion of the charges proved that the Hibernians’ attitude was ones wholly due to Erman’s ac- tion in removing one of their players from the field for rowdyism. As one of the officials of the league said: ‘The charge that Erman’'s eye- sight is bad is ridiculous. I think Erman cun see as well as the best of them. At least I know he can see a dollar from A vote taken on the charges to remove Erman resulted in a verdict of 3 to 1 to retain him. A cummittee was ong rtges to confer with Dr. Murray of the St. Louis Foot- ball Association to arrange for a mutual- ly agreeable daté around the holidays for a game with an outside team. The members of the committee are J. L. Tate and T. W. Cahill.

HALFBACK ROBINSON. CAPT. CAMPBELL.

FOUR GREAT FOOTBALL GAMES WILL TAKE PLACE IN ST LOUIS THANKSGIVING St. Louis High School and Smith Academy Will Settle Their Annual Rugby Debate in the Morning—St. Louis University Will Struggle for Supremacy With Iowa, Washington Will Meet Knox and Chris- tian Brothers St. Charles During the Afternoon. Following the action taken by Colum- bia University in stopping rugby foot- ball at the biggest institution of learn- ing in the United States, the Phliaiethic Debating Club of the St. Louls Univer- sity arranged an impromptu’ debate Wednesday night and announced that it would be open to any member of the student body or of the alumni. As a result College Hall was crowded with students, members of the football squad and several graduates of the university. After one of the hottest, and bitterest debates ever held in the university it was reSolved that football, as played to- day, should be abolished at American educational institutions. As the resolutionrefiects the opinion of the major portion of the student body it is expected that the faculty of the university will take action upon the matter. To a Post-Dispatch reporter several of the students expressed them- selves as confidont that the game would be either 2bolished at the univercity or that it would be moderated until it could once more be called a sane and sufe sport. L. Curtis Tiernan, a member of tie football squad, was the chief defender of the great. American college game. He said that the accidents in the game were far less in proportion to the number of men playing the game than the acci- dents in other branches of sport. He cited horseback riding as one of the pastimes many times more dangerous. “Of course,” he said, ‘“‘football is not a ladylike game. We don't play it with kid gloves on. But it isn’t brutal—it is a Manly game played by manly fellows. At thie assertion several of the aboli- tionists rose to their feet at once clamor- irg cor recognition by the chair. Finally T.ouls Desloge was given the floo or. “You say it is not brutal?’ he. said. “Well, I would like to know what you call brutal. Wy, it is a well-known fact that in times ot emergency football play- ers wilfully will injure a man in order to get him cut of the road. You say they are good fellows. So they are—oft the gridiron. But cence in the game their code of ethics is wonderfully changei. With them all is fair in love and war—and football.”’ Tiernan took Desloge's rejoinder as personal affront, and as he was backed up by several other members or the foot- ball squad a riot seemed imminent, ‘Tbe _ sant-at-arms took summary action threatened to cject the oratorical Sailigerents if order was not restored ami the rest .e ~ the debate was con- ducted niore quiet! The members of the abolitionist party, besidea holding that football was brutal, took the ground that the game was a selfish one. In a college of 400 students, they said, perhaps 20 are able or are al- lowed to pley football. The rest have to stand on the sidelines and cheer and pay the traveling expenses of the team. They also said that though the game was formerly played in the right way a new and ugly spirit ei sprung up in American college sport that had reduced os ame to a test of brute strength and minated-the sport feature entirely.

For the first time in the history of St. Louis football, a local eleven seems likely to prove itself worthy of a place among the big elevens of the confer- ence colleges. When St. Louis University meets Iowa this afternoon at Sports- man’s Park, it will have the champign- ship of two states almost within its grasp. It will be the best teams of Iowa and Missouri against each other. And if the Tigers should defeat the y Jayhawkers at Kansas City at the same time, there will be no one to deny Bt. Louis’ claims to a tri-state champion- ship. The wearers of the blue and white have proven their class this year. With the exeeption of the early Illinois game, which was lost by the narrewest of mar- gins, the eleven has decisively beaten all opponents. Today it will be put to the final and hardest test. . Mm.
