In the course of tje argument hefore the Governor, Senatur Hill decisréd that there wus pretise and newiy discovered scientific evidence to show that Rice was not murdered at all, and Judge Ol- cott declared that Patrick “knows he is innocent of the crime for which he is cundemnned to die.’ Patrick has devoted the last month to reading up. points of law and medical ' works appertaining to his case and pre- lawyers. Patrick's. wife writes him as often as the rules of the prison permit. ter, Mrs. John T. Milliken of. St. saw him Saturday. Mr. Milliken, Patrick's’ brother-in- law, has brought from St. Louis an af- fidavit in whieh it is stated that after Rice’s valet, Charles F. Jones, was liberated’ on the nominal bai! of $1000, he returned to Texas and told persons there that the people of. New York were “big fools to have believed his lies;’’ that he did not kill Rice; that Patrick was innecent, and that the only crime he (Jones) ever committed in New York was perjury. Dr. J. H. Gardner, whe appeared in the trials as an expert, says medical testimony which he believes would have cleared Patrick was suppressed, with or without motive, at the trial. fy. ROTA FLED Louis,

Continuing, the petition recites that in pursuance of such intent Mr. and Mrs. “began to encourage the im- proper attentions of Mr. Bibb to Rhea Williams, and in an effort to increase the infatuation, arranged and connived at clandestine meetings between them, and continued such action until final separation took place” between Mrs. Bibb and her husband.

Attorney-General Hadley, in answer | the quite natural special position which to the sworn testimony of Mr. Rogers, supplemented by the statement of Mr. Pierce, that the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. is not a constituent of the Standard (il Trust, points to the following evidence at tne Standard Oj] hearings in St. Louis and New York: Charles B. Coilins, former financial Secretary to Mr. Pierce, testified that two-thirds of the profits of the Watcrs- Pierce corporation were paid to the Standard Oil Co. These profits, Collins said, arounhted to $400,000 annually. Pierce, according to Collins, received monthly dividends amounting to from 2 to 50 per cent on 3996 shares, or all but four of the Waters-Pierce (Co. The Secretary asserted that on several oc- casions he took a check of the Waters- Pierce Co., representing two-thirds of the profits to the offices of the Stand- ard Oil Co: at 26 Broadway, New York. Coliins said he kept two sets of books. One contained President Pierce’s§ ac- count, the other the darge dividend sent to the Standard Gil Co. In Mr. Pierce's account there was no debit column, and in the book recording the Standard Oil contributions theré was no credit ac- count. Companies Transferred Employes. A. J. Jockel,. formerly a bookkeeper for the Standard Oil Co., testified that as the special agent for the Waters- Pierce Oj} Co., he has received oil Which bore the Standard Oil shipping tag. In case oi] was sent by the bar- rel the contents of Standard Oil barrels were dumped into Waters-Pierce bar- Te.8 Jockel was transferred from Standard Oil offices in New York to the Okla- homa agency of the Waters-Pierce Co. William A. Morgan, former manager of the Standard Oil Co. at Sedalia, Mo., related how he had been rebuked by his Superiors when he sold oil by mistake in Standard Oil territory. He said that Standard Oil and the Waters-Pierce competed nowhere in Missouri, Each had an agreement to keep out of the Other's territory. At times he _ could have sold oil cheaper than the Waters» Pierce agents, but was not permitted to make any sales. Other testimony in St. Louis and New York was that auditors of the Standard Oil came to St. Louis regularly to in- Spect the books of the Waters-Pierce Company. Secretary Adams of the Waters- Pierce Co. testified that prior to coming to St. Louis he was in the employ of the Stndard Oil Co. at New York. He re- fused to answer questions put by the Attorney-General about the relations between the Standard and Waters-Pierce companies. Jail Threat for Secretary. The special notary threatened to re- mand him to jail for cotempt, but he Still refused to answer. Action against Adams was deferred by Attorney-Gen- eral Hadley until the Supreme Court de- Cides whether the Waters-Pierce Co. shall be raquired to produce its books in court. This question is now pending before the Missouri tribunal and a de- Cision is expected within the next few weeks, : Attorneys for the Standard Oil, Wat- ers-Pierce and Republic Of! companies, against whom the Attorney-General’s ouster proceedings are directed, ordered their clients to ignere subpena duces said, this special interest shown toward Cuba and Panama, and at

Stabbed Wife With Spike. John Ruddy of 1 Sidney street was fined $100 by Judge Tracy in City Hall Police Court Monday for assaulting his wife with a’molder’s spike, and stabbing her in the breast and arm.

Her daughters, Victoria, 10 years old and Lulu, 3 years old. were in an adjoining room and knew nothing of the advent of their litile brother. ; “T put in overtime at a bag factory and worked until 7 o'clock last night,’’ said Mrs. Melbeck at the hospital. Monday morning a nurse who entered the maternity ward at 5 o’clock found Mrs. Mclbeck up and preparing her toilet. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the nurse. “I’ve got to go to work,” said Mrs. Melbeck. . She was indignant and hostile when told that she would have to remain at the hospital. ‘T never neard of such a thing,’’ she exclaimed. The baby is in excellent health and physicians say it is much stronger than the average child. ——s HOTEL BARTENDER HELD. Three Other Arrests for Sunday Saloon Law Violation.

“ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. Founded by JOSEPH PULITZER. Published by The Pulitzer Publishing Co., 210-212 N. Broadway.

In many cases the law’s delay is only the law- ‘yer’s delay. One strenuous gas meter has been rebuked in court; but there are others.

A municipal commission is now at work devising plans for abolishing all grade crossings of steam railways. This commission was appointed in ac- cordance with the avowed intention of the Mayor and the Street Commissioner to initiate and carry into effect as far as possible during their official terms the policy of abolishing grade crossings. If the policy is to be carried out with regard to

railroad crossings which are now in existence, it should by all means be put into effect in all street An ounce of prevention erossings of new railroads. No more railroad grade is worth a pound of cure. crossings should be permitted. The projected extension of the Railway crosses many streets in the southern part of the city. The line of extension crosses two great thoroughfares—Broadway and Grand avenue. The bill provides for grade crossings. It would be the height of folly to be trying at great expense and labor to abolish existing grade crossings and at the same time to permit new rail- roads to put in grade crossings. The best time to abolish grade crossings is when the railroads are built. No franchise should be granted the Manufac- turers or any other railway without a provision for the crossing of thoroughfares under or over the street level. Manufacturers’ For pensions next year an appropriation of $141,- 000,000 is needed. The present deficit for pensions is $3,500,000. Surely we don’t want any more un- necessary wars. soe a A PROBLEM OF GIRL TRAINING. At first sight the action of Mrs. Maude Bibb of Louisiana, Mo., in suing the parents of young Miss Williams for $20,000 for the alleged alienation of her husband’s affections by their daughter is a trifle perplexing. It must be, however, that the deserted wife holds the parents of her rival responsible on the dictum of the old adage that says: “As the twig is bent the tree’s inclined,” and is prepared to contend in court that, if Mr. and Mrs. Williams had trained Miss Williams in the way she should go, she would not thereafter have departed from it. And the way Miss Williams should go, Mrs. Bibb will doubtless argue, is emphatically not the way she has gone —to Los Angeles, Cal., with Mr. Bibb. The decision of the Circuit Court of Pike County should, therefore, be of peculiar interest consider- ing this aspect of the case. It is not at all unlikely that, if the ruling is in Mrs. Bibb’s favor the Wil- liamses may seek a refuge in the statute of limita- tions, claiming that they cannot now be punished for sins of omission committed long ago in the years of Miss Williams’ childhood. The suit at law of Bibb versus Williams has interesting possibili- ties.

a a Cuba will surely be the Gem of the Antilles now that the Missouri mule has been called in to aid in developing the island. a tp Ar rr NOT A PERSONAL MATTER. Through the whole of the investigation of the op- erations of the Standard Oil “brood” of corporations, while the investigation was being carried on in Mis- souri itself, the Attorney-General of Missouri was constantly interrupted with sneering charges that he was attempting to advertise himself in the news- papers. _In New York, as in Missouri, this same charge is made a matter of court record, as if it were or

: ™ could pe a defense when Missouri as a State is act- Neg er ing for the enforcement of its laws. PR Ey, oe | The attempt to change such a proceeding to a | personal issue between H. H. Rogers and Herbert S. + I Hadley is worse than an absurdity. Mr. Hadley may or he may not wish to have it known through the newspapers that he is doing his duty aggres- sively and fearlessly as Attorney-General of Mis- souri. It is only as Attorney-General of Missouri that he is making the public record in the case and it is on the record that the case must be decided. The issue is one between law and the claim of privileged exemption from the operations of law. The State of Missouri and the United States as _they stand for the power and dignity of law, are - not(to be driven out of court by cheap jests or cheaper sneers, intended to discredit Mr. Herbert S. Hagley. lll ll i i Barber shops are becoming known as whiskeran- iums. “Tonsorial parlor” must go.

— A MISSIONARY EXPERIMENT. After importing Missouri mules to Cuba, the man- ager of the Santa Lucia plantation found that the Missouri man must go with the Missouri mule to get such restits as we show in Pike, Galloway or any other Missouri county. Now after he has engaged a colony of “husky” Missourians to engineer the mules, he predicts that the result of the example they set will be an eco- nomic revolution. The moral force of Missouri meth- ods, shown on the spot by Missouri men behind Mis- souri mules will dominate the island and the yield of sugar cane and bananas will go up and up as the yield of wheat and corn does in Missouri. ‘Perhaps it will. But on the other hand, perhaps Missouri intelligence in both men and mules will adapt itself to its environment in Cuba. Perhaps : oc ri farmhands will see after using their brains that it will not do to drive a mule under the Cuban gun as if it were in Galloway County. Perhaps » tor we * should rather say, certainly) the Missouri we, using his well known firmness, will refuse to be so driven. ing to the tropics, “it is ill to break the bonds Gol decreed to bind.” As men and mules, we get Missouri results in Missouri. In the tropics, when we drive for the same results, we get Orient- alized despotism,” an indurated liver and final fail- ure which no amount of fair and philanthropic talk- ing can cover Up. As a missionary, setting a strenuous example to the tropics, the Missouri mule or the Missouri farm- hand behind him, may succeed for a day and days. Then the lesson of the tropics will be learned and the lesson of the tropics is “manana’”’—a siesta in- stead of a sunstroke today and strenuosity some other day. Attorney-General Hadley has succeeded in ham- mering into the neads of the oil magnates a slight recognition of the fact that there is a power superior to themselves in this country. —_-o—— “DERMISSION” TO LIVE IN ST, LOUIS. Whatever is wrong in the St. Louis police force is wrong in the beginning because this official or that, “higher up or lower down,” attempts to put law aside and supplant it with his own will. As a case in point we have the reply of the Chief of Detectives, publicly reported, when a con- vict just released from the Missouri Penitentiary, applied to him for “permission” to live in St. Louis. His published answer is a peremptory refusal. “We eannot allow ex-convicts to remain in St. Louis. You had better leave tonight,” is the ukase literally quoted from the published text. In the Hedgepeth case, a similar power of per- emptory banishment was asserted. It is notoTious that such a power is not only claimed, but used. Ex-convicts may live in St.

There are exceptions. Louis and keep the most disreputable dives in the city. This is shown in the current news of the week. The exception, however, confirms the rule under which it is attempted to supplant law with the ar- bitrary will of an official who seeks thus to make himself irresponsible to law. Under the laws of Missouri, convicts serve their terms in the Penitentiary that they may be reformed as well as punished. When released, they are not outlaws, but have the full protection of the laws, whose penalties fhey have paid. This protection all law-abiding police officials are bound by law to give them. To usurp power to banish them is lawless- ness which breeds lawlessness. Regardless of the question of the merits or de- merits of any particular ex-convict, the evil of ir- responsibility in police officials is worse in its fined results than almost any single crime for which crim- inals are first punished in the Penitentiary and then driven out of the city by the police. If police officials do not themselves obey the laws, how can they be expected to enforce them? = ™ + O-o The Municipal Assembly will have to make an appropriation for alarm clocks for night policemen if they are all to get home in time in the morning. coe FEMININE FINERY VS. FINANCE. The eternal feminine cropped out in Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, when a woman caller sought to interest her in a business deal, The sight of a satin foulard dress caused this aged woman to forget the profit that-lay in a proposed $350.000 deal. “It’s a pretty thing,” she said; “where did you buy it, and what did it cost?” Then she spoke of the handbag her caller carried, and confided to her the fact that she always cleaned her own dresses with ammonia. Not even the cares imposed upon her by her multiplied millions could make this austere old woman forget those little touches of personal adorn- ment and of home life so dear to the heart of every woman. The eternal problem of money-making was eclipsed for the time being by the eternal feminine admiration of finery. Divorced from this by the eares of business, yet eager to talk about it, “if she were not so busy,” is it any wonder that Hetty Green is “a tired, heartsore woman, seeking sym- pathy,” as her caller declares her to be?

I own my own property, so cannot move, or I would do so at once. A lady does not care to wear clothes a person wears, especially a stranger. I do not think it is nice or ladylike to do those things. I would like to hear some other people’s opinion on this subject. A reader of your paper. MRS. K. N.

— REMOVE THE CAUSE. To the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. While I do not dispute the theory that in hun- dreds of cases it would be but an act of mercy to the suffering individual to be painlessly removed, I can not help looking behind his present condition and inquiring aS to what brought it about. In the vast majority of cases I believe investigation would show that these unfortunates are the victims of modern civilization. The wonder is that the stren- uous life, adulteration of food products, long hours of ne¢ rve-exhausting toil and the universal industrial hell in which the human family finds itself engulfed at this time do not east upon the rubbish heap, like squeezed lemons, a still greater number of wrecks of all kinds. The plan fdr eliminating the ‘“‘wrecks”’ by the chloroform or other similar route is not a new idea. But the kind-hearted people who advo- cate jit should awaken to the fact that what they propose is in no sense a remedy for the evil. It is a good rule, I believe, in the practice of medicine to treat the cause, and not merely dally with symp- toms. The presence in modern society of so many wrecks is but a symptom of something wrong at the bottom. So long as the cause continues the ef- fect will follow as naturally as water oe on R : _ ° . To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Tae most modern Western cities and the largest city in the United States (New York) stop their cars on the near side of the street. All possible objection to the front end exit can be overcome by allowing cars 10 stop on the far side of the street in the districts where the streets are unmade, but in the business section (where a greater part of the trouble arises) and on all made streets cars should stop on the near side of the crossing. It lessens the element of danger insures a uniform medium speed in cross- ing intersecting streets and allows plenty of time for warnings to be sounded. Saves slowing down time for the service, which the company should appre-. clate. Complainants to the present bill should look it over carefully and they will find that it provides for stopping on near side, only on made streets. Let's try it. Can’t be worse than our present rec- ord, D. L. D. WANTS SUGGESTIONS. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am a working girl. Lately I hurt myself. I could not do any more hard work. 1 would like to Start some smail business, where I.could continue to make my living. Some of your readers may sug-

THE. STRAPHANGERS’ UNION Reported for the Post-Dispatch By O. B. Joyful.

An enthusiastic audience of 10,000 straphangers assembled in Forest Park Saturday night to hear the address of Pres. Dan D. Walker of Straphangers Union No. 2 on the subject, ‘‘Has the Straphanger Any Rights Which the Man With the Seat Is Bound to Re- spect?" In a thirty-minute speech of surpris- ing cloquence Pres. Welker outlined the respective rights of the straphang- ers and the seat-warmers, and forcibl) emphasized the fact that no warmer has @ rignt to be rude to man in the aisle, or to scowl when accidentally mashes hig hat down over his ears or steps on his foot; because, he said, even the snuggest and most contented seat-warmer is Hable at any time to be nosed out of his accustomed berth by a greedy rival and forced into the ranks of the stand-uppers. Even if he has no consideration for the straphanger @s a man, it is well for him to remember that politeness pays, even if it is only superficial; and that the straphanger, though famvus for his docility, is Mkely fo get back at him in an hour when he thinketh not.

BARTSCH-WOODBURY TEAM WINS ENDURANCE TEST ON THE ALLEYS

Chicago Bowlers Down Nearly 11,000 Ten-Pins During Twenty- Four Hours of Play—Rolled Forty-Five Games and Averaged 195—Brill Took High Game With 276. Cpechi to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Amid a scene of great excitement, Frank Bartsch and David Woodbury, South Side bowlers, last night won a 24-hour tournament by a@ margin of three pins, in a total of nearly 11,000 pins. Phil Wolf, the form- er New Yorker, and J. Reilly, the stock- yards players, were second. : Thirty-eight pins behind them came ¥%. Vollmer and €. Mountain. Frank Brill, the former national champion, and R. Rolfe, who, with E. Stretch, won the two-men national championship at Mil- -waukee, were fourth. Bach pair rolled 55 games, the winners

That indefatigabie disseminator of more or less weedy bluegrass seed, Tur Correspondent McClure, is filling the unthinking sporting press, which lacks fit sense of comparison, with a lot of twaddle about Colonial Girl, a winner of the World's Fair Handicap at St. Louis, being a second Firenzi, Yo Tambien, Imp, and queen of the turf. ; Now. Colonial Girl is a very sweet lit- tle mare and is owned by Mr. Qtto Sti- fel of St. Louis, one of the best fellows and citizens in the world. But com- paring her to Firenzi and mares of the veen class is drawing it rather strong. he record shows tbat, in five years on alyzation, however, we find that $42,000 At first glance this seems a most im- posing sum and proof positive of the mare’s right to be classed with the t matrons of the turf. Upon an- tion, however. we find that $52.000 of this sum was won in one race, the Fair Handicap, when she was ipt of some 30 pounds from a , but by no means great, horse, nis, on a track which did not suit re Leaving out this $42,000, Colonial Girl has, in ier five years of camovaigning, won $30,000, good, high-class. selling-plat- ing work. In the four years other than the World's Fair season, she won $20,000 all told, or $5000 a year, nice, selling _ plating and second-class overnight han- dicap work. With 93 pounds on her back, Colonial Girl beat Hermis, who was of the same age, with 130 on his. The track was not to the liking of the son of Hermence. Had it been, experts agree that she never would have seen which way he went. It was a $50,000 stake, but be- vond the presence of this-fast and reso- wee little horse, it was in point of class of horses an average overnight event. ¥Firenzi, Miss Woodford, Imp. Yo Tam- bien and mares of the queen class could up the same weight as the best tions of their age and win from t -. Imagine Colonial Girl with 127 eee up beating Hermis, Waterboy. cChesney and other great horses of . Two weeks before she won the big handicap sha was beaten by Monsieur Beauclaire. That is her class. he sense of comparison is sadly lack- ing in turf writers. - eeoapeeii They say that the exhibit of game roosters at the recent poultry show was Seurprisingly fine.

Moun- 'tain and Volimar notched 1941-00, and Brill and Rolfe 192 30-56. The prizes were $166, $112, 355 and $4. Frank Brill took the special prize of $10 for the high game, with 276. The teams and their totals were as ollows: a Bartsch—W. Woodbury, 10,742. Wolf—J. Reilly, 10,739. Vollmar—C. Mountain, Brill—R. Rolfe, 10,692. Collier—W. Flenner, Rankhart—W. Koenig, Mahoney—A.

The Chicago says that, in mood most Heston, jobless, declared that he would have likea to coach one more year, buf tinder the circumstances it 4vas to prac- fice the law with him. What? Has it “came’’ to this? Have we seen the day when a great college athlete must go to work? The recent sale of the famous ‘race- horse Merman in Engiand brings to mind that he was the gift of the late Squire Abingdon to Mrs. Langtry. The inipelling circumstance of this present was that the Sauire wished to make amends for having blackened the lady’s eye. Shakspeare advises us about the folly of attempting to gild the lily. The Squire was a “hodd blowke hand would ‘ave ‘is hown w'y.”’ Mike Donlin is conducting a saloon in New York. Donlin ought to be a goud man behind the bar. He was a star in froiut of it. Jack Powell likes chromatic sympho- nies and the sunny South. He says he will go South with Hedges’ Brown boys next training season.

) MONEY PRIZE OR JOHNNY WISE -_——— Schaefer Will Make the Ama- teurs Take Junk for Theirs in Class A Tourney. Johnny Wise Schaefer, manager of the Grand billiard hall, announces that he will inaugurate his annual Class A billiard tournament at the Grand Mon- day night. This pronunciamento is not near as startling a one as the notice given by Mr. Schaefer that no money prizes will be awarded this year. Mr. Schaefer has hitherto given mon- ey prizes for his tournaments and this fact has led many to .interpret that it was permissible for a billiardist to re- tain his amateur status and still play for money provided he did not make his actual living by billiards. Mr. Schaefer’s departure is a step in the right direction and will undoubted- ly result in billiards being placed on a higher plane in his hall. is to to be a scratch and Hutchings play The tournament affair.

A report was recently sent out from Cleveland to the effect that Napoleon Lajoie hal signed a contract for next season at a salary Known to exceed anything that any player in either the National or American League will re- ceive. This started a discussion of the salary question. It is known that the best are paid like bank presidents. President Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg club, who scouts any ment emanating from an American League source, when he heard of the Cleveland report about Lajoie, at announced that he ‘‘would like to bet a few yeliow ones that Fred Clarke re- ceives a bigger salary than that called for in Larry’s new contract. And at that,’ said Drevfuss, *“‘Clarke is not the best paid man in the National League. The friends of John J. MeGraw also decline to concede the highest. salary honor to Laiole.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 15.—Bob Fitzsimmons and his wife left last night for New York, via Chicago. They ar- ranged for a joint appearance ina new play not yet named. The engagement may not be prolonged, as Fitzsimmons is considering other propositions which he hopes will insure him a permanent income. His great embition is to be- come a hotel proprietor and if he can find the right house and partner he will fettle down to that. “I have abandoned the ring forever.” he said. “I am now 44 years of age and have been a prize fighter for 29 years, during which time I was whipped only three times, after having 365 battles, ame fy am willing to retire on my rec- ord.”’ GRUPPE MAKES PLAY AT LYDON Wily William Tries Verbal Pass at Joseph to Sound Him on the Weight Question. Dr. Scott, athletic director of the South Broadway Athletic Club, an- nounced Monday morning that after an examination of William Gruppe, the Western Amateur Athletic Union cham- pion 135-pound boxer, he had advised the latter not to enter the Missouri Athletic Club’s boxing tournament, Jan. 27. Dr. Seott says Gruppe’s ailment is a complaint of the stomach that would result in permanent injury to the boxer if he would attempt to reduce his weight to the 135-pound notch. When seen Gruppe said that he had been advised by Dr. Scott not to enter the tournament on account of the con- dition of his stomach, but, nevertheless, he. expressed a desire to meet Joe Ly- den and made the following suggestion: “If Athletic Director Bassett of the M. A. C. will make a special match for me with Joe Lydon and allow me to weigh 137 pounds, give or take one pound, I will box Lydon, rather than have some people argue that I am un- willing to meet him. “My inability to make 13 pounds is but temporary, and whether Mr. Bassett makes the special match or not, I will be willing to defend my title at the pen boxing championships in pril.
