The. fact of the engagement of Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Platt was knewn to friends cf both, but there was i knowledge of the wedding having taken place in Chicago nearly six months ago. The wedding was a quiet affair at the home of mutual friends. Its only at- tendant from St. Louis, besides the principals themselves, was. Edward W. Dustic.. byether. of the bride, . ee Living at Bride’s Mother's. Following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Thompeon returned to St. Louts and have ince that tirne resided at the home of the bride's motheér,. Mrs. F:; W. Dus- tin, 4132 West Pine boulevard. It is probable that after the affairs of the father of the groom have been settled, thev will take a journey to California. Mrs. Platt is the daughter of F. W. Dustin, an old resident of St. Louis, and is the widow of the late Elroy $8 Plait. who died about two years ago. Mrs. Platt obtained a divorce from Mr. Piatt about a year before his death&. Hic was a well-known resident of North St. Louis and prominent as an amateur vachtsiman. Mr. Thompson knew Mrs. Platt when Miss Dustin. Their acquaint- ance dated from the time when she was a schoolgirl. After the death of her first husband he again met her and, in the of time, wooed. her and won her consent to become his wife.

IOVE TO DISMISS SAM B. COOK'S SUIT 2

a a» — 9? , Judge Waller Takes Under Advisement Mo- tion of Post-Dispatch Attorneys, Sup- ported by the Contention That the Just} Criticism of Public Officials Is the Duty of the Public Press. Special to the Post-Dispatch . COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. 19.—The suit for $100,000 of former Secretary of State Sam B. Cook against the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, growing out of the fail- ure of the Salmon & Salmon Bank of Clinton, was taken up here last night before Circult Judge Waller on a de- murrer filed by the defendant. \, Briefly, this demurrer set forth that, Mr. Cook's petition failed to state a cause for legal action. It pointed out that the Post-Dispatch, in directing at- tention to the condition of the Salmon Bank and asking why it had not been closed before its confiding depositors lost ail their savings, In view of the report of a State bank examiner that it had been insolvent since 1908, was ex- ercising the lawful right of comment by a public journal in relation to a matter of vital public Importance. Judge Waller, at the conclusion of the argu- ments of Judge Williams of Boonville and Attorney Silver of Jefferson City for Mr. Cook, and ex-Attorney-General Crow and F. N. Judson, representing the Post-Dispatch requested the attor- neys to file briefs within the next two weeks. -He intimated that in view of the Breat issue involved in the case, name- ly, the question as to how far a public jeurnal might go in its criticism of pub- lic officials, he would defer his decision for probably a month. Untruth Not Alleged. Mr. Judson, in presenting the demur- rer to the Court, emphasized that the .~ petition of the plaintiff did not charge that the article that appeared in the Post-Dispatch in reference to the Sal- mon Bank failure, in which 600 families lost a total of $700,000, was false or in- accurate. ‘“*“When an article published concern- ing a person, be hea private citizen or @ public individual, is untrue, ‘and it sanding matter calculated to injure his - nding in the community, then there is a presumption of malice,”’ said Mr. Judson. ‘But no such Inference may be drawn from Mr. Cook's petition. That the Sal- mon Bank was hopelessly insolvent at the time it closed its doors is a notor!- éus fact.. This petition does not deny it. If it was insolvent, and the fact of its insolvency brought ruin to hundreds of Ynsuspecting depositors, as the Post- Dispatch charged, then why was not the failure a subject of legitimate newspaper comment? : The Right of Criticism. “What is the right of the public press in reference to a public official in com- menting upon his actions and his poli- dies, provided there is no false statement of facts?” asked Mr. Judson. ‘That is the broad proposition in- volved in this case. Shall the court say the press should be silent? How would Gur insurance scandals have come to light had it not been for the constant prodding of the newspapers demanding * an investigation of their affairs? \“There is no allegation in the petition that Mr. Cook’s-personal character has been assailed. There is no mention of his name in the article on which he bases his action. But there is mention} of the fact that Maj. Harvey W. Sal- ynon, one of the owners of the Salmon & Salmon Bank, was for some ime prominent in the Democratic councils of Missouri, and was at one/ time chair- man of the Democratic Central Commit- tee. Is the Democratic party, or the Democratic machine, as the phrase 1s ured in the article, suing for defama- tion of character? Not at all. Does Maj. Salmon ask damages? I dare say we shall never hear of him charging atiybody with libeling him in connection with the failure of the Clinton bank,” Mr. Judson cited from various de- cisions of Missouri and othef courts to show that a criticism, when privileged, even though it may do an injury to the one criticised, is not necessarily a cause for libel. In support of this he men- tioned the rivalry between the different political parties; the charge of the gold men against the silver men; of the free trader against the protectionist, and vice versa. “A pook is printed and a newspaper criticizes it harshly. That article in- ~ jures the author. It puts a damper on the sale of his book; yet it is a legiti- mate eomment and 6ne that is emi- . tl proper.” " “a Salmons Had Been Solvent. ‘Judge Waller: Suppose, Mr. Judson, the Salmon Bank was solvent? ‘Mr. Judson: If that were the case, we would have no standing in court on this demurrer. But, your honor, this on does not claim tha! it was solvent. It is well known that it was not solvent. But if the plaintiff should wish te set up the plea that it was, then we shall meet him with a mass of overwhelming evidence to dis- prove it. ‘Mr. Silver, in replying to Mr. Judson, said that Mr. Cook would have no that he believed the article in question assailed his motives. _ He is virtually charged, charged by inuendo, with neglecting his duty on account of his friendship for Maj. Har- yey W. Salmon,” said Mr. Silver, This ht held was the basis of the plain- _ Uiff's action. He denied that any news- ‘had the right to question the mo- of a public official.

— CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. Sunday afternoon at his residence, 715 Bond avenue. The prisoner said then that the last time he saw Miller was Tuesday night, when Miller was his Suest at Supper, after which he ac- companied him to a car. Miller said he was going on a run as a news butcher, Doyle testified, Mrs. Alling- ‘on said that her husband did not go to the car, but said good-by to Miller at the door. Doyle said the police learned that Miller had $130 with him when he left East St. Louis. He also curried a gold-filled watch. He told of the finding of the body with its arms folded. It had apparently been there 10 or 12 hours, , —— tee th tees satiate, No Signs of Struggle. Special Officer William R. Caudle said there was no sign of a Struggle Where the body was found. : Detectives Killian and Cabanne told of their investigations and of conflict- ing statements made by Allington and Mrs. Allington. The husband told them that he and his wife visited a family named Schindler in St. Louis last Thursday, He did‘not know where the Schindler home was. Mrs. Allington in her tes- timon said she didn’t know the Schindlers. Miss, Louisa Miller, sister of the dead man, testified that she had not seen her brother since Nov. 11. She said that she positively identified the body as that of her brother. She said another brother, Edwards told her he had seen Charles Thanksgiving eve and Charles had said he was‘about to get a job with the Pa- cific Express Co. and would have to fur- nish a bond for $1500. She was asked if she knew Allington and she said she had never Seen him. Allington, who was present, was told to stand up and after looking at him the witness re- her declaration that had never seen him before. Edward J. Miller, a brother. testified that he had seen Charles Thanksgiv- ing eve at their home near Belleville. He said that Charles had told him of the job as express messenger and had said that he got it through the influ- ence of Allington. Charles said he was going to Belleville to see Father Ha- gen and get $50 to “‘pay for the job.’ He said that the bond was singed by Allington and another man. re it? Allington Promised Another Job. The witness said that he had seen AIl- lington early in November and that Al- ‘ington had promised to get a job for him on the East St. Louis trolley sys- tem. “Allington told me that 1 would have to join the union, and that this would cost me something,’ said the witness. “An application was made out and McCarty. paid any.money to anyone in connection with it. well acquainted with the Mayor of East St. Louis, and that he also knew a man named Trautman, who was a prominent East Side pofitician.”’ Edward also said that he had iden- tified the body as that of his brother. O. J. Kenneth, proprietor of a board- ing house in East St. Louis, said that Charles A, Miller had boarded with him for some time, and that the young man bore an excellent reputa- tion; He said that he had heard Charles speak about trying to get a job, but he knew none of the details. Michael Voellinger, foster father of the Millers, told of taking the chil- dren from an orphan asylum. He had also heard that Charles was trying to get a job with an express company. Suspect’s Stories Vary. John, who prefers to be called ‘“Jack’’ Allington, held in connection with the death of Charles A. Miller, whose skull was shattered by a sandbag of a blud- geon, and the body left beside the waterworks conduit at Bircher road and Morin avenue, was ‘sweated’ for hours by Chief of Detectives Des- mond as Assistant Chief Keely, and put through all of the rigors of the ‘‘third degree.’’ Allington remains a puzzle to the police, who still believe they are justified in holding him as a witness. Around this little man has been woven a remarkable tangle of circum- stances, the strength of which he him- self acknowledges while protesting that Miller is still alive, and that the man whose body is at the Morgue has not been properly identified. Over and over he has told the story of ‘thow he, though himself unemployed and unable to obtain work, took an

Louis. For this service, he says, he exacted and expected no reward. No Two Statements Alike. His statement of his relations with Miller and his efforts in the young man’s behalf differs with every recital. He acknowledges this, but Says, with some show of frankness, that he does not mean to He, but that his constant questioning by the police for 24 hours has scattered his thoughts and clouded his memory. Though of Strong fiber, he is rapidly approaching a nervous breakdown. His apparent coolness is plainly the result of painful effort. His answers to questions are given without hesi- taney and with almost declamatory ef- fect, but recurrent answers to the same Ys ’ 2 é » yen LES ON | | signed by Allington and a man named!

Like oné dazed he looked at the body of the man found dead and in a mon- otone repeated, “That doesn't look like Miller to me.’ He touched the body, not hesitatingly, but firmly. Allington is 36 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall, has dark brown hair and eyes and an aquiline nose. He says he was born in Liverpool and he would re- quire no make up to act the part of an English cockney. A black mustache does not conceal the fact that his mouth is weak, that the upper lip overhangs the lower and that the chin, though well rounded, is re- ceding. Allington Has Wife and Baby. His eyes are bright, but without ex- pression. He makes no gestures. His coat and trousers are of brownish Worst- ed and shiny from constant wear. His double breated fancy vest of tan is in shreds. Having no overcoat, he wears an extra sack coat to take its place. He has a wife and a 10-months-old girl at his East St. Louis home, and he speaks of them without any show of sentiment, referring to his baby as iis ean ig round, apparently without bumps, and the forehead is moderately rounded. His ears are small and set close to his_ head He smokes cigars and chews tobacco, but says he does not smoke cigarettes and does not drink. Allington was formerly employed as a car checker for the Illinois Central Rail- way. He says he was dismissed from the ‘service on a charge that he had given an employe’s pass to a man who had no right to use if. and that since hen he has been unable to obtain em- ployment in railroad service. “About a month ago,’ said he to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “I was at work on the platform at the Relay Depot. A young man had been hanging around the platform every day. He asked me how the air brakes were applied to the engine and‘said he was anxious to get a job railroading. He theught he would like to be a locomotive fireman. _ told him he was too light. He asked me if I cold get him a job and I said f thought I could. It was then that he introduced himself. T liked his looks and took an interest in him. I got him a job checking cars for the Louisville & Nashville, but he didn’t like the work iy ae to his subsequent relations with Miller his stories vary. Ignorant of Miller’s Whereabouts, He at first said that he obtained for Miller a position with the Pacific Ex- press Co., but later said it was the Adams Express Co. He told of frequent visits to St. Louis with Miller, but could not give the dates or even ap- proximate them. At first he maintained that Miller was still working for an express company, but to Chief Desmond he said that Miller through a labor agency had obtained a place as fruit and news vender on a train. Though stoutly maintaining that Miller is alive. he says he does not know where he is. That he was the last person with whom Miller was seen alive has been established. He at first said that he met Miller on the street in St. Louis, in front of a 10-cent store, last Tuesday. Telling again of his visit to the 10-cent store to buy a wagon for h's baby he said he did not see Miller thet day. Again he said that on Tuesday he crossed from East St. Louis with Miller, but left hin at the St. Louis end of Bads Bridge. Confronted by E.

Clothing Co., man who ac- store last for the Globe Shoe and who identified him as the Miller to the or Thursday, Allington denied that had been to store. Later he acknowledged that he had. He was sure it was Tuesday. Pressed as to the date he said it may not have been Tuesday, but he was posi- tive it was the 13th. When his atten- tion was called to the fact that the 13th was Wednesday, he said it must have been Wednesday. Asked how he knew the date he said he had looked at a calendar at the 10-cent store, which he previously said he visited Tuesday. Replaced Cap With Derby. A cap which he is said to have re- placed by a derby hat a few days ago is missing. Taken to his home by Special Officer Caudle of Angelica Street District, Al- lington hunted the cap, finally saying that it must have been lost or mislaid. To a Post-Dispatch reporter later he said: ‘I gave the cap to my cousin, R. Mack Allington of Peru, Ind., when he was visiting me three weeks ago.”’ “Why didn't you say that when we asked you about it?” said Caudle. Om: forgot all about giving it away,” replied Allington.

It is freely predicted in Jefferson City that the decision of the Supreme Court, which will be handed down Saturday in the proceedings begun some time ago by officers of the Delmar Jockey Club to prevent the St. Louis Police Depart- ment from invading St. Louis County to prevent violations of the anti-pool- selling law and the illegal sale of li- quor, will sustain the attitude of Gov. Folk and the Police Commissioners. The action grows out of the stopping of bookmaking at the Delmar track last Summer. St. Louis policemen forced their way into the track inclosure and remained there while the races were run, and one day arrested a number of bookmakers and their employes, taking them in patrol wagons to Four Qourts. Managers of the racetrack applied to Judge Marshall for a writ of prohibition to prevent interference with the oper- ation of the track. In Oétober Judge Marshall overruled the application, and in that decision practically decided that the St. Louis police shad authority to go into-the county to make arrests. This right is based. according to Judge Marshall, on the scheme of separation of the city of St. Louis from the county, which was adopted in 1879. chiffon taffetas, white and colors.

HARMON. REPLIES VO ROOSEVELT Says President Evidently Glad

Senta Fe Won Rebate Case.

WEY COUNSEL RESIGNED

Asserts Plan to Officials Met Executive's Disapproval, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW’ YORK, Dec. 19.—Former Attor- ney-General Judson Harmon, who was one of the special counsel for the Gov- ernment in the rebate case against the Santa Fe Railroad, last night gave out the following statement in connection with letters yesterday made public in Washington: “The President and the Attorney-Gen- eral seem to be congratulating each other that the Government lost its case against the Santa Fe Railroad Co. If they were always so certain there was nothing in the case, I do not understand why they turned it over to Mr. Judson and myself, “The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion found and reported that the com- pany had for years flagrantly broke the law against rebates. We refused to be- lleve that the corporation had slipped out of nights and handed over the re- bates while the officers in charge were abed. We proposed to proceed against them accordingly. This course was dis- approved and we thereupon resigned. “The President then proceeded him- self to hold’ a ‘bed of justice’ and have a trial by leiter. He announced what was a cross between a judgment of not guilty and a pardon, in which the Attor- ney-Genera] concurred. If, after that, anybody expected anything from the further prosecution of the case, that person is now disappointed. “ft do not know whether Mr. Judson and myself would have fared better or not, but I do know that it is not a good ay to win a case to proclaim that one knows himself there is nothing in It, and then place it in charge of an advo- cate who is naturally supposed to hold the same view.”’ — Later Departure New Orleans Special.

Prosecute | that it ' CONGRESSMAN ACCUSED 0 THEFT OF I — Ames Asserts Landis a Plagiar- ist in Insurance Bill, —_—-- IN HOUSE —

INTRODUCED Original Bill, He Says, Repre- sented Roosevelt's Attitude. SAYS “THUNDER” STOLEN Would Provide Federal Control Without Direct Legis- lation.

By Wire from the Washinaton Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—President Roosevelt and Attorney-General Moody believe they have solved the insurance problem, according to a statement made to the House of Representatives by Butler Ames of Massachusetts. Inci- dentally, too, Mr. Ames charged that Mr. Landis of Indiana ‘‘stole his thun- der’ and all but got away with the swag. n Mr. Ames admitted that he intrusted with the task of drawing up the administration measure, and said he hoped to have it ready immediately Congress met after the holiday recess. The solution of the problem is sim- ple. Mr. Ames is drawing up a bill which will provide that all insurance companies doing business in the Dts- trict of Columbia, the territories and the insular possessions must first se- a certiffeate from a superintend- ent of insurance, who is to be made an official of the Bureau of Insurance of the Department of Commerce. The in- surance companies, before such a tificate be issued to them, must comply with all the requirements of the superintendent as to detailed reports. The superintendent is also to fix upon a seale of ethics. had been cure cer- Can There is no question of the power of legislate for the District the territories and insular possessions. By this method the troublesome _§ state’s rights argu- ments will be done away with. Should insurance companies re- fuse to do business in the District of Columbia, the territories or the insular possessions, the administration and Mr. Ames believe it will be regarded as a confession of dishonesty by the public. Under such restrictions insurance com- panies would be as much under Fed- eral control though they were rectly placed so by a law. ) Congress to of Columbia, the the as di- Amen’ Ire Aroused. Mr, Ames’ speech regarding the meas- ure was brief. He said, with some feel- ing. that his ideas were along the lines which the previous Speaker, Mr. Lan- dis of Indiana, had discussed at great length. The Massachusetts member is not backward in ‘charging that Mr. Lan- dis “‘stole his thunder.’” Mr. Ames has been at work on a solution of the insur- ance problems since hefore Congress met. He has not only given it his own time, but had emploved several lawyers and two or three clerks. He fs draw- ing up a code compiled from the best laws of Massachuetts, Connecticut, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. This code will be of at least 10 pages length. During the early days of the session Mr. Aimes and Mr. Landis met the Congressiona) Library. “Hello, Ames, what here?’ Mr. to him. “I’m looking up some matters for a bill in which I am greatly interested,’ Mr. Ames answered. “What is it?’’ Mr. have asked. Mr. Ames,

In at are you doing Ames sald Mr. Landis said Landis is said to who was enthusiastic on the subject, went into a long discussion of how he proposed to put insurance under Federal control without direct legislation on the subject. According to Mr. Ames, Landis, after listening, and before he left, told him that he, too, had been studying up the insurance situation and that he had a remedy along the same lines. Shortly after this interview Mr. Landis his bill in. [t was introduced Dee. ll, and is entitled ‘“‘A bill to amend an aet entitled ‘An act to establish the Department of Commerce and Labor.’ approved Feb. 14, 1903."’ From the title of bill nothing which would cause the belief related to insurance and Mr. Ames knew nothing about it until a dav or two ago, when he was told that Mr. Landis intended making a speech on the subject Before he was aware of the Landis bill Mr. Ames had been ta At- torney-General Moody and the President with a draft of the measure he was go- ing to propose. After examining it they both gave it their approval, and he now occupies the position of being at work on a hill having the administration's indersement, while there is a similar bil! already introduced. Mr. Ames said he intended calling the matter to the attention of the House at some later period. Mr. Landis was greatly surprised when he heard that Mr. Ames had any feeling on the subject. He said he had his bil! prepared as long ago as last September. Mr. Ames is going to continue at work on the bill and code, and- wilh urge it as the perfect measure. es FOUND BURGLAR IN ROOM.

12 months at hard labor in Iron County | Jail at Ironton, Mo., for sending improp- er postal cards through the mail to Charles Arnoid of 4067 Morgan street. Lobknecher was defended by Theodric R. Bland, once his classmate. Mr. Bland and District Attorney Dyer represented to the Court that Lobknecher was a victim of the cigarette habit. In asking clemency in his behalf, requested also that the sentence be so framed that he. could later be removed to some institu- tion for treatment for the cure of this habit. This provision was made by the DUEL IS STOPPED SHORT. Policeman Checks Revolver En- counter With Weapon. Three revolvers were flourished and two shots were fired before an encoun- ter between Jacob Weiss of 1016 North Eleventh street and Henry Clark, a ne- gro, of 1006 Carr street was terminated in the arrest of both by Patrolman Weinman of Carr Street Station, who held the third weapon. In Dayton Street Police Court Tues- day Weiss testified that he saw Milton Clark, the 9-year-old son of Henfy Clark, running through the alley in the rear of his home with some tron, which he thought he recogniezd as his own. He pursued and captured the boy, when the father appeared and commanded him to free his son. Weiss said he drew his revolver and told Clark to stand off. As he did so,

appeared with a revolver, which he fired twice, both shots flying wild. Attracted by the sound of the shots, the officer ran to the scene and drew his own revolver, commanding the bel- ligerents, who were holding one another at b ney with drawn weapons, to sur- render.

NBW YORK, Dec. 19.—Abraham H. Hummel, the lawyer who for several days has been on trial in the Supreme Court on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the Dodge-Morse di- vorce litigation, today elected to allow his case to go to the jury solely on the evidence submitted by his accusers. The prosecution finished its case yes- terday and when the trial was resumed today, counsel for Hummel announced that they were prepared to rest their case. They did not care to offer any evidence in defense. Hummel'’s coun- sel contended that the jury should not believe the testimony of Charies F. Dodge, building their argument for the defendant around this point. Dodge was the first husband of Mrs. C. V. Morse. He testified yesterday that Hummel gave him several hun- dred dollars and that he perjured him- self in giving testimony to prove his original divorce from Mrs, Morse. “There is but one point in this case for the jury to decide,’’ said John B. Stanchfield of Hummel’s counsel, “and that is do they believe that Dodge, in the privacy of a law office, told Hum- mel that he had been served with the summons in his wife's divorce case. Dodge has admitted that he is a per- jurer and I don't think the jury can believe a liar who becomes a witness for the prosecution so as to escape go- ing to prison for perjury.”’ Charles F. Dodge freely admitced every 30 seconds or so during cross-ex- amination that he had perjured him- self in the divorce proceedings, the re- sult of whith is the trial of Lawyer Hummel for using that perjured affida- vit to annul Mrs. Dodge’s divorce. He told of his perjuries, of his de- mands for money and of receiving %6000 from Hummel, as placidly as if he were jl describing the weather. He impressed those who listened to him as a person who does not know how to feel ill at tie liga.

I sup- pose detectives get hard up the same is other people. “So far as I know there has been no stolen property pawned here by detectives. We never ask them where they get their property.

NO ENGAGEMENT ANG FOR ALIC Wears Longworth Heirloom Where Solitaire Ought to Be. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Miss Alice Roosevelt, in answer to the request of her friends to see her engagement ring. has surprised everyone by replying that she has dispensed with that usual for- mality, and does not purpose having any CHARGE OFFICIAL ACCEPTED “FEES ee ee ee Moody Recommends Dismissal of Territorial Federal Attorney. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.--Attorney- General Moody has recommended the dismissal of United States District At- torney Johnson, for the Southern Dis- trict of Indian Territory, Dut President ' |

son, and then immediately changed his mind and had canceled the order of dis- missal. This was not the case, as no action had been taken by the President, but’ the Attorney-General was unde the impression that his recommendation has been carried out at the time he made his announcement. Johnson is charged with having ac- cepted fees from Chickasaw Indians while serving as United States District Attorney, and with having secured, without justification, an indictment against the Governor of the Indian Ter- ritory for alleged irregularities. The Department of Justice took the unusual course of ordering the case against the Governor dismissed without bringing it to trial. It also strongly disapproved the action of Johnson.

come to such financial strdiis that a} meeting was held last night in the Pierrepont Street Assembly Rooms to devise ways and means to increase the revenues, which have so dwindled as to have disappeared through death or re- moval. This was in part the explana- tion made by Deacon S. V. White, who presided over the meeting. It was not known probably to those in the assembly rooms until they heard it from Deacon White, that more money flowed into the church coffers while its most famous pastor was defending himself against charges than it had re- ceived before or since. Beecher’s sal- ary was reduced subsequently to §$20,- 000 and Deacon White told how part of this was returned secretly to meet a deficit following Beecher’s support of Grover Cleveland in 1884. Dr. Hillis said his salary was $8000. ——_—

1 THE MILLION CLUB. “The question of what, if anything, is the matter with the Million Club, has now been answered from all possible standpoints. Its defenders and its critics have presented their several views and theories to the readers of the Post-Dispatch and nothing seems lacking but the conclusion. On the evidence, the conclusion seeins to be that the Million Club is a great institution, with unlim- ited opportunities it is fully capable of realizing as soon as it begins to “develop more initiative.” -A little more “initiative” is all that the Million Club needs. All seem to agree on this point. According to popular ideas, the way to “develop initiative” is to “get busy.” Thus, by general con- sent, all the Million Club has to do to realize its great object of raising the population of St. Louis ta million is to “get busy.” And that, let us hope, is what the Million Club will proceed to do in the immediate future.

If we are to stand pat on the high tariff and continue to pay high tariff prices we shall need all the currency elasticity that isto be had, r a re IL a a = RIP VAN WINKLE’S MODERN WIFE. ‘Mre-Dudley Lowder of Alton, whose complaint ‘4d to her husband being fined $100 for laziness, ‘factorily solves the Rip Van Winkle problem ) practical modern lines, but at the same time _«roys the.picturesqueness of a character that has farmed the world for at least two generations. a i$ plain that Alton possessed a veritable Rip in person of the delectable Mr. Lowder. “My hus- d is good to me,” says Mrs. Lowder, “but he won't work. He is so good-natured that I can’t get angry at him, but when he isn’t downtown loafing he’s at home cracking jokes while I take in wash- ing.” So she had Mr. Lowder arrested, and now he must worl: to pay his fine, and after that he must continue working to avoid being fined again. ‘Which, of course, is right from the utilitarian standpoint—but what would have become of Wash- ington Irving’s delightful hero and Jo. Jefferson’s greatest stage creation if Dame Van Winkle had been of Mrs. Lowder’s resourceful fiber in dealing with her happy-go-lucky spouse? Alton may yet hawe reason to deplore the elimination of Mr. Lowder from the realm of the picturesque. Routine men who work as a matter of habit are born every sec- a but a sunny soul like Mr. Lowder, which toils wt, neither does it spin, yet sheds sweetness and light upon all within its sphere of influence, is rare mgood. pi». die» — Swe "The State needs two more asylums—one for the inebriate and one for the man who supposes that ory coin with an old date is at a premium.

MeLeod asks: “Have you not felt, my friends, that the noblest form of govern- ment would be government by one strong man, if you could find him?” The question scarcely needs an answer for the future in St. Louis or any other great American have found that “one strong man” often enough in the past, and we did not like him. We called him a “boss,” because he was in fact a boss and showed it by bossing us. s “benevolent despots,” our bosses have been as nevolent as despots are ever likely to be. Still, did not like them and their Big Stick methods of owing their benevolence. From coast to coast this country is now in revolt ainst bossism and all the benevolence that goes ith it.

If the Department of Commerce and Labor makes a thorough investigation of the condition of Amer- ican women engaged in gainful occupations, as sug- gested by President Roosevelt, the volume of data and figures will simply prove that woman's main advat.tage in the field of industr> is the difference between their salaries. The remedy: Place men and women on an equal footing on the. payroll. Then will the marriages multiply and the birth rate ‘hit the high-water mark.” And if the women still per- sist on being introduced to industry—why, “‘‘let the women do the work.” HUBBY.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. erthern cities the shops and stores stay open Pea are: on and after Dec. 15 until Christmas, in order to give those employed through the day opportunity to choose their gifts. There are thou- sands in St. Louis today so situated that it is an im- possibility to shop during working hours, and yet no opportunity is given them until the night before Chiirstmas, when the crowds are 80 dense it is im- possible to buy anything, while gifts are to be sent to foreign countries, in many instances, and to re- mote parts of this country in others, . necessitating their ing mailed several days in’ advance of the 2th.

M low fever move in epidemics. Quite recently the ranks of my maseuline friends and acquaintances have been fairly decimated by the for- mer compelling scourge Having met all their brides and found most of them te be less pretty, less intelligent and less well-bred than half a dozen other women friends of the bridegroom, it occurred to me to ‘wonder, for the hundredth time, what men mur- ry for, anyhow. I don’t mean to ques- tion why they marry, leaving that to the Shawvian schools. The reason for the irrational knot does not interest me sO much as the strange groupings that result from it. Why is it that men sneer at beautiful and clever women for years and then turn around and marry some little per- Son that to the casual eye is absolutely devoid of either charm or beauty? The only way I can account for it is that the mood matrimonial hits a par- ticular man at a particular moment and has nothing to do with the individual woman who becomes his wife. She just happens to be the nearest thing to pro- pose to. Propinquity itself does in not neces-

cesses, “Pro-what-quity?"” gasped the stage lover. ‘“Propinquity,’’ repeated ss girl who came of the Brahmin caste and had not realized the possible educa- tional limits of a masculine star. For a moment he looked extremely puzzled. Then he said, with vague but convincing enthusiasm, ‘Propinquity! Propinquity! And that’s a darned good word!” And so it is if it occurs at that tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to matrimony. Men don’t marry beauty. There are too many plain married women and fine looking spinsters to admit that. They certainly don't marry brains. Not all of them marry for money. Therefore, it must be that the mood matrimonial Is absolutely independent of the woman who inspires it and is as irrational and deadly as bolts of lightning.

A FEW CHOICE STORIES Gathered From Many Sources for the Post-Dispatch.

Asked Him to Pause. An old clergyman named Goodwin was a tall, broad-shouldered man, and was said to have the largest hands of any man for miles arodgnd. One noon a@ young man named Allen was taking dinner at the elder’s house. It was the elder’'s custom to ask a blessing at the table, and Allen had evi- dently not been used to this sort of thing, for instead of waiting he began to eat. The elder raised his hands with @ restraining gesture and said: “Pause, young man.” “Paws,” was the reply, “I should think to the Lord they was paws.”

But’ Fido went in, spite of caution and Alert as His Son. The following story will illustrate the readiness of the vanished William A. Rockefeller to protect himself when he was far advanced in years, according to the Chicago Tribune. On a Far Western trip with a fellow- wayfarer he stopped at an inn no- torious for strange disappearances. Be- fore going to bed the landlord proposed shooting at a lighted candle in the shed of the tavern. Urged by the innkeeper. William A. Rockefeller shot off the wick of the candle three or four times in as many attempts, using a big revolver. When the travelers went to their reom they noticed that the door had no lock. While Rockefeller was on guard, sitting in a chair tilted against the footboard of the bed, the door was cautiously pushed partly’ open and the light of 4 dark lantern slowly stole about the bed, It showed the crack shot of the evening with two revolvers covering vital parts of the landlord’s murderous person. “Hold on!” cried that cutthroat, made a mistake.”’ “T’ve

‘Come in here; I want to see you. You may have made a mistake, but don't do it again. One of us Will be ready for such mistakes all night. It’s dangerous.”’ Proved by Pat. Among the hills of Sligo there is a small lake renowned in that region for its fabulous depth, says the Liverpool Post. A well-known professor, who was in that part of Ireland this summer. started one day for a mountain, accom- panied by a native guide. As they | climbed Pat asked him if he would like the lake, sor.’ to see “for it’s no bottom at all, ‘How do you know that, the professor. “Well, sor, I'll tell ye. Me own cousin was showin’ the pond to a gentleman one day, sorr, and he looked incredulous like, just as you do, and me cousin couldn't stand it for him to doubt his word, sorr, and so he said: ‘I'l prove the truth of me words,’ he said, and off went his clothes and into the water he jumped.- Pat?” asked One Proof of Marriage. Rabbi Isaac Meyer Yesselson gave extraordinary evidence in Dublin the other day in a case in which a pawn- broker named Max Rubenstein. was charged with having failed to support his wife, says the London Daily Majj. “They argued and argued,” said the rabbi, “from the afternoon until 2 o'clock next morning without avail.” The magistrate asked the rabbi what ground he had for believing that the woman was the accused's wife, and. he replied; “Because she grasped him by the coat and ‘he didn’t move. He stood like a stone.”

MARRIAGE From Rev. Madison CC, Peters’ Book, “Will the Coming Man Marry ft” A that his friend had gone blind, said: ‘‘Let him marry, and if that does not open his eyes, nothing else will.’ Better to enter the marriage state in the frame of mind of that company of American settlers who, in naming their town, called it Dictionary, ‘‘because,’ as they said, “‘that’s the only place where prosperity and happiness can al- ways be found."’ Any women of fair looks and ordinary sense Can marry some sort of a man. Marrying for a home is a most tire- some way of getting a living. If money is your real object, the older and ugiler the man is the better, for nothing should come between you and his golden calf. Better have a fortune in your husband than one with your husband. Marry aman nearly your age. A father said to his daughter: “I don't want you to throw yourself away on a foolish young fellow: how would a nice, sober, settled man of 50 suit you?” The daughter very sensibly replied: ‘‘Father, { would rather have two at 3.” The Bible says: “It is not good for man to be alone.” It does not say it is not good for women to be alone, for God knew many women would be better off alone. The frogs in Aesop's fable were ex- tremely wise. They had a great mind to some water, but they would not leap into the well because they could not leap out again. Sisters, look before you leap! There are some people so busy mind- ing other people’s business that I would riot be a bit surprised in the Resurrec- tlon Day to see some of these everlast- ing snoops getting out of the wrong grave! Busy men become weary of the dull prose of the life and thirst for poetry. tHappy is the man who can find that poetry at home. Most of our self-made men are really marriage made. I know coachmen, for instance, who, in point of intelligence, moral and even social worth, are the equals and even the superiors of the men who employ them. But when you find such a man he won't elope with his employer's daughter. An intellectual man married a bril- liant woman. Immediately after they were married he said to her: “Madam, I love you. That is the beginning, mid- dle and end of my experience. I shall never repeat it again. You have my idea.”” After enduring her solitary lot for six years she remarked to him: “I am not a metaphysician, but I have come to the conclusion that there is a difference between ideas and feelings. You can get rid of an idea by uttering it, and I want you to say that you love me often enough to convince me that no change has taken place in your tn- ward experience.” Remember, man, it is of little avail to bring flowers to your wife's coffin, when you failed to strew them on her path while weary feet were painfully walking over it. Lord Bolingbrooke said: “If I was making up a plan of consequence I should like first to consult with a sen- sible women,” Elbert Hubbard says cigarette smok- ers are degenerates, but he refrains from giving his opinion of blond gentile- men who wear long hair and wide hats

I desire to call the attention of sports- men who like to participate in and to assist true sport, to the association football games of the Saturday After- noon League, plaved at the Triple A grounds in Forest Park and at the Christian Brothers’ campus. I would not bespeak these games pat- ronage and praise were they not, from a standpoint of skill, entirely merito- rious and worthy of both. The games are well played. The spirit of their sportsmanship is high. There is not any admission fee charged at Forest Park, nominal one at “. B. or gate cuts no fhg- ure in the pastime. The boys play a good, clean game, and if any sport is worthy the support of ladies and gen- tlemen. boys and girls, this is. I do heartily commend these contests to everybody who believes in clean, manly, amateur sport for the sport's sake alone. and only a very is, Hence, money So the Athletic Association of St. Tauis University, having exhausted its energy and money in producing a third- rate Rugby football team, is either un- able, or unwilling, or both, to. uniform and handle association football team. Without being the full facts in the entirely familiar with the case, I venture to say that these step-children of their alma mater will do their school much more honor than the pampered pets of the rugby spuad. The meinbers of the association team provide their own uni- forms, shoes, transportation, etc. They are young sportsmen of whom any col- lege might well be proud. We have seen both the rugby and association foot- ball teams of St. Louls University per- form. We are free to say that the socker boys look more like the real §t. Louis University article, as we have known it, than the rugby men. They are as nice-looking, clean-cut a lot of athletes as any college in the world ever turned out, They are a credit to their parents, themselves, their coj- leagues and irue sportsmanship.

I will beg enough of my readers’ val-

vable time to bring to their notice this young man, Hetherington, director of athletics at Missouri State University. Dr. Hetherington stands forth pre-eml- nent among his fellows as a stickler fer honor in all dealings and true pur- ity In athletics. He does not draw $7000 per annum and “pickin’'’’ of anyone's tainted money. Hence he is not known in the public prints. He wiii not have an athlete in issourt State University who is not a bona fide student in every sense of the word. He says this. What is better than saying, he sees that what he says goes. Dr. Hetherington has been roundly censured by the coaches he has em- ployed because he will not. “draft” players for them.

Athletic Club Saturday night Dowd bases his provest upon the ac- tion of Euaaie Lee, one of the judges, and a mémnover of the Governing bvuyuard of the athietic club, who, he alleges, interfered with Mariin McMorrow, tne university representative, during the progress of the race. MeMorrow was jeading Stevens and Drechmann at the time, and Lee, in an attempt to keep the runners on the track, jostled MeMorrow, throwing him out of his stride, dropping the Blue and White runner back to third place. Mr. Lee said after the mee: that Me- Morrow was running between the hur- dles on the floor. When he insisted upon McMorrow leading the way on the track, the latter ran into him, rather than follow the instructions that had been issued, to govern all the events. Take Belcher Turkish Baths.

Bie GR wa i PURE ATHLETICS AT C. 8. COLLEGE Brother Justin Takes Steps to Insure Undergraduate Sys- tem at Cote Brilliante. Brother Justin, president of Christian

Brothers’ College, is taking certain st®ps to insure that nothing but the very pur- est kind of amateur athletics shall be part of the curriculum at the Cote Bril- liante college. Some days ago Brothér | Gideon, good, easy man, who has been prefect of athletics, found that scholast- ic duties demanded so much of him that he could not give field sports the .at- _ tention they required. He asked to be relieved of athletic supervision. When | this was done Brother Justin appointed Brother Liguori to the position. Brother Liguori, be it known, has what some people denominate rather Quixotic ideas of athletic propriety. e ip a. graduate athletics. His appointment to - the prefecture of athletics may be taken as a bond that no boy, not a bona fide undergraduate, will wear the blue and. gold in any athletic contest at C. B. C. It is whispered about the coll that Brother Justin, who is a man of more than average ability, is ruggedly op-. to rugby. Indeed, the boys say that he is much in favor of its total abolition. The fact that rugby mes. fostered and bred a lot of ill feeling be- tween C. B. C. and the other great Catholic college, St. Louls University, feeling which the socker games played by the teams of both institutions have done much to assuage and obliterate, is said to have affirmed Brother Justin in, his opposition to rugby. : He, however, refuses to say that he) wil] abolish rugby at C. B.C. Evidently. like a man of wisdom, he le waiting to, see what the amended rules will do the game. Brother Justin is with the good feelin tween the colleges by games. When, boys beat St. Louis University on Satur- day, he said that he regretted that St. Louis had not won, as he fear d defeat might dscourage the Grand avenue boys. s immensely pleased brought about be-’ the association y Brother Justin need have no fears on this score. With a little — and prac- tice St. Louis University will be taking Brother Justin into camp in socker as thoroughly as it has in rugby. COONEY

INVITE YOU = TUNNEL CHEN IMPRISONS TW Workmen Face Death in Tomb Forty Feet Under Earth’s Surface, Qt ARE MENACED BY FLOOD

Rescuers Use Dynamite in Frantic Effort to Reach Them, NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Two buried 40 feet deep in a tunnel, facing | oe in three different forms — by Stavation, suffocation or drowning—and about two hundred of their comrades, } a few feet above them, digging against | time to save their lives, Was the situ- men,

ation today at the Pennsylvania Rail- road tunnél in Long Island City. For more than thirty hours these two workmen have been entombed in this tunnel by the cave-in of its mouth, and it is by no means certain that there are only two men buried. The police of Long Island City say there are six. The tunnel] is being built under the East River to Manhattan Isiand, but the entombed men are not under the river bed. They are sealed up in the approach under Long Island City, and it is reported that the water from the river, which now fills the part of the tunnel directly under the river bed, is kept back from them by the force of compressed air continually pumped in- to their prison chamber. The workers assert that the water must have flowed into the part of the tunnel where their comrades are buried, and that they have saved themselves from its rise by climbing upon a ledge of rock near the roof of the tunnel. Danger in Rescue. The rescuers are sinking a _ 40-foot shaft straight toward the roof of the tun- nel as near the place where the work- men are supposed to be as is possibie to estimate. If this shaft is not very close to the men there is danger when it at last pierces the cement roof that the compressed air which will be re- leased will allow the water to enguif the men before their comrades can take them out. The life shaft was 30 feet deep, but

This was the work of several hours, involving the dynamite. The imprisoned men S8sig- nalled incessantly by rapping on the iron pipes through which the air is be- ing pumped to them. Watching every move of the diggers from the mouth of the life shaft last night was Mrs. Frank Cale, the wife of one of the men believed to be in the tunnel. Today she was joined by her four children to watch the final pierc- ing of the tunnel. What will be done at the moment when the tunnel roof is opened has caused the workers much worry. It has been planned to have the divers ready to enter the hole if the water rises too high, and at least be prepared to drop a boat through the opening in case the men are not near enough to be reached by any cther means. use of
