TEXANS ON THE STAND

Jordan Says It's Against His Religion to ‘Treat’ a Policeman. a, ee f By | Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Albert T. Pat- rick has again been brought from the death house in Sing Sing and today he may be in court to confront his former lawyer, Fred House. Patrick is fight- ing for a new trial on the plea that Newly discovered evidence will show that Charles Jones has confessed that he lied when: he accused Patrick of causing him to kill William Marsh Rice. The District Attorney hopes to have Lawyer House testify that the story told on the witness stand by Jones was identical with that told him by Jones and Patrick when they first employed him to defend them. House asserted his rights as a lawyer and refused to testify when the case was first on trial, and it is believed he will continue to do s0, even though Patrick may _ re- quest him to testify. _ But there is no Jet-up in the interest- ing testimony of the Texas men who have been brought here to testify that Jones told them he lied when he ac- cused Patrick. And they are “‘lickerin’- up” quite a bit, too. Joseph Jordan, the lame veteran of a coul car collision, explained away a lot of unpleasant things by telling about ‘his cousin, having the same name and being lame like him and exactly the Same age. this cousin, Jordan stated, Was the Jordan who had been sent to prison and who had been crippled by a buliet trom a warden's gun while try- ang to break jail. Jordan has his opin- jon of District Attorney Jerome, who insisted on asking him personal ques- ‘unas of the cruss-examination. “Jerome a Tough Eel.” ~ “That there Jerome,’ he said today, "I regard as a tough eel.’ Joraan used to be a fisherman and he talks ii tue vernacular of the craft. It developed that Mr. Jerome had brought here some Texans of his own, Who are eapected to contradict the wit- messes ivr the defense. Jordan was recalled by Mr. Jerome When today’s session was resumed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—The body of a man, apparently about 45 years of age, was found today in the gutter at the corner of Twenty-first street and Calu- met avenue, in the heart of one of the fashionable residence districts on the south Side of the city. There was a bullethote above the right ear and a cheap revolver lay near the corpse, but the police are unable yet to State whether it is a case of murder or of suicide. The only clews to the identity of the man are the initials ‘“‘A. F.,’’ stamped in the sweatband of a hat found near him. The hat bears the name of “B. K. & Co., Milwaukee.’’ There was a bullethole in the hat, but the police were unable to fit the hat on the head in such a manner as to bring the perfora- tion directly over the bullet wound. The hat was also very small for the man. It is the opinion of the police that the man may have been slain by footpads and his body brought from a distance, He was well dressed and had every ap- pearance of being a prosperous business man.

It is true that the Exposition company did make the proposition to the Municipal As- sembly Committee to pay $125,000 into the City Treasury, to be used by the city in the restoration of the park and the release of the bond, and that the committee deciined to agree thereto. The committee was informed that no extention of the present bond could be secured because several of the bondsmen are dead, and others have declined to agree to an-extension, and others, while willing for an extension made the condition that all of the bomdemen must agree to the extension. The Exposition company then proposed to give a new bond im the sum of $200,000 if the ex- tension should be granted. The Municipal Aseembly Committee demanded an extension of the present bond of $200,000. and an ad- ditional bond of $200,000, which the Expo- sition company iy upwilling and unable to | give. Every effort has been made by tion company to comply with the condittons of the ordinance for the restoration af the park. The bill above mentioned provides that the Art Building sirall be transferred to the city without any reservations whatever on the part of the Exposition company. This bullding cost $1,000,000. The work of restoration is proceeding as rapidly as the weather and the work of the Chicago Teens Wrecking Co. will permit. The park will be restored to a condition not only | ~ gerd as good, but better than when the use was granted by the city to the Expo- sition company. There has been no effort or part of the Exposition company to evade i'3 duty or responsibility. The report of tue Special Committee treats the Exposition com- pany as if it were a money-making under- taking which has been granted a privilege by the city, instead of a public-spirited enterprise organized by patriotic citizens and carried to a successful consummation at the expense of personal effort and great sacrifice of time and money.

rr a> > —_— ee THE QUESTION SIMPLIFIED. Secretary Rassfeld of the Manufacturers’ Railway Co. has simplified the question of dealing with the franchise extension which his company is seeking, by stating unqualifiedly that the company will ac- cept any provision guaranteeing the independence of its terminals, and any fair basis of compensation , to the city for the value of the franchise. These statements taken with the agreement to avoid grade crossings and to construct bridges over the crossings from Broadway to Grand avenue, at- ___ test the sincerity of the Busches who are promoting ' the extension and who promise to build a complete #0) system of terminals, with subsequently a bridge or ~ tunnel and a southwest railroad. The Post-Dispatch does not believe in obstructing progress or blocking investment which is needful or ¥ * beneficial to the city. We believe in encouraging - bothe under conditions which will assure benefits to at alae public. “84 The bill for the extension of the Manufacturers’ * * Railway should be carefully drawn in a form which will meet the points of sound objection to the orig- inal bill. The guarantees of independence of the ter- © minal monopoly should be binding. The compensation 4 should be adequate without being oppressive. It bra 9: should secure to the city the unearned increment of the franchise, leaving a reasonable return for the i investors. It should guard against grade crossings.

‘It should provide for reasonable charges and should limit the term of the franchise. Without unnecessary delay the Municipal Assem- bly should act carefully and wisely on the bill. *»

JEROME’S DISAPPOINTMENT. Mr. Jerome K. Jefome is painfully disappointed with the American people because they don’t take him seriously. Indeed, it is a national characteris- ae vi ra tic. They don’t take anything seriously. We are all alike. We laugh at everything at all times, in all circumstances. Such levity is out of place, thinks Mr, Jerome. It is “boyish,” out of place in a man 50 years old—as much out of place as girlish, kittenish ways in an old maid.” Well, Americans are, indeed, in no hurry to grow -® old. The man of 50 likes to laugh and he sees . nw many things which amuse him. And the bachelor girl, called, by the English,.an old maid, which is not polite, gets fun out of life because she has the te @ But are we so exclusively jolly?

Mr. Jerome seems to labor under two. capital de- fects. First, he takes himself too seriously. There- fore we don’t take him seriously. It is always so. Second, he does not know that humor is profoundly serious. This cannot be proved without a philosoph- ical analysis, but the examples of Franklin and Lincoln will help him and his fellow countrymen to see the point. Moreover, it is a melancholy error to suppose that a joke maker or jester and a humorist are one. A jester may or may not be a humorist. Mere jesting requires a superficial knack. Humor springs from tae hidden depths of character spontaneously.

It is to be hoped that the Council will treat the new bond issue bill with more sincerity and good faith than it treated the bill recently killed. The first step is to put the bill in approved legal form, so worded that there can be no question of its valid- ity nor of the purposes for which the bonds are to be voted. Then it should pass both houses of the Assembly promptly and the amendments submitted to the votes of the people. There has been too much juggling over the bond issue. —-@-@-o-— AN IDEAt TO BE REALIZED. The importance of the Civic League plan for transferring all railroad tracks and terminals from the district north of Forest Park to the unoccupied area south of the park can hardly be overestimated in its possible bearings on the future of the city. Its first result would be to’check the movement of rail- road tracks from private to public property—a movement to which the Post-Dispatch has been and is unalterably opposed. Mr. William K. Bixby is comprehensively right in defining it as one of the most far-reaching ideas of a generation. He is not less right in declaring that it ought to succeed, and to succeed now, before adverse condi- tions become permanent. It is to be hoped he is right also in predicting success for it as a result of combined and aggressive effort. Briefly stated, the result of the change would be to give the city an opening for uninterrupted growth for its residence district along its present lines of de- velopment and to open for the western manufactur- ing district, also along its present lines of extension, a territory now almost. vacant, where manufacturing industries would have room to spread for at least a generation, in connection with the increase of ter- at present there is no

minal facilities for which visible territorial limit. The question asked at once is: about the Wabash? What about the Rock Island?” It would be a grand thing to bell the cat, but how does the cat feel about it? The present | answer is that the officials of these “How roads “are fair-minded men.” This means, perhaps, that if convinced they will be better off financially on the south than on the north side of the park, they will move their tracks with a quickness which will astonish doubters and silence doubt. The proposition is rightly called a large one—large enough to include the direction of the city’s grow th for half a century to come. Mayor Wells is right in calling it an ideal settlement of existing difficulties. The question he leaves for future development is that of realizing it. In presenting it and defining it as a plan of civic improvement, the Post- -Dispatch agrees with those who think it possible to realize it. Nothing is impossible for St. Louis—that ought to he done. Getting railroad tracks out of Forest Park and railroad terminals out of the Forest Park resi- dence district is one of the things that ought to be done, and done as soon as possible. —________#--@ If the good men who are speaking 80 eloquently for matrimony could give their hearers some scheme for meeting light and fuel bills, that did not involve emigration to the Philippines, the license clerks would soon be busier.

iets o> ST. LOUIS NEEDS A SUBWAY. From the Mexico (Mo.) Intelligencer. The question of subways is beginning to interest the citizens of St. Louis. When such an improve- ment would put passengers at the city limits from the heart of the business section in from 10 to 15 minutes, while it takes 40 to 60 minutes now, the necessity can be readily understood. St. Louis has reached that size and importance which justi- fies such an improvement. She is booming and the next step should be subways. -

[Le LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE MORALS OF THE LID. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The employe of a brewery (a collector) said to me:

“The ‘lid’ don't bother us a bit. We sell a little less keg beer, but our bottle beer sales have more than doubled. People who formerly drank about 20 cents worth of keg beer on Sunday now order a case of beer (24 bottles), ana vefore Monday they generally drink every drop of it. It’s in the house, and the oppor- tunity makes them drink more than usual. Instead of spending 20 cents they spend $1 for beer. We can't fill all our orders. We work day and night and on Sunday.”’ A liquor dealer said to me: “It may seem strange, but really, now that the lid’ is on, we sell more liquor than we did before.”’ If the above Statements are true, what about a: moral blessings and im- proved temperance habits of our people since the ‘lid’ enforcement, so much lauded by the “Ex- Brewer's Son?’’ VERITAS.

IN THE SPRING. In the spring a fellow’s fancy Lightly turns toward the fields, And his heart gets sort o’' dancy, And his nature kind o' yields To the thought o’ going back again And living with the countrymen. In the spring it strikes a fellow That the city’s sort o’ bleak, And his heart grows kind o' mellow, And his soul begins to squeak. His inner nature sort o’ bawls For country life and overhauls. In the spring a fellow as was born Upon the outer dells Sort o’ hears the mellow horn And clanging dinner bells; And in his ears, far off, the strain Of old ‘‘Pig-oo-ey!’’ sounds again. A VOLCANO. The chance that Mount Sutton, near Denver, would become an active vol- cano was prohibited in the beginning by the mountain’s remoteness from the sea. Volcanos stick close to salt water. Still, the momentary thrill which the country enjoyed served to emphasize our acute need of a first-class volcano. We are becoming a shrewd people, and are not blind to the heavy exports of money made every year from the United States to Kilauea, Vesuvius, Chimborazo and the other’ volcanos which draw crowds. There is only one way of keeping this money at home, and that is to have a domestic vol- cano. A good active burner—a willing worker not afraid to pop off now and then—would save us in a year enough money to build a couple of battleships of the Dreadnaught type. When we annexed the Sandwich Islands we got Kilauea. the finest volcano in the world, a strictly non-union mountain inde- pendent of all natural laws, and a horse for work, with a disposition so nearly like that of President Castro of Vene- zuela that tourists could reasonably depend upon its misbehavior; but the Sandwich Islands, for all they are of us, are not with us, and the money we gend to Kilauea mostly falls into the hands of the sugar kings, to be spent in Europe. The interest taken in the puff of smoke on Mount Sutton sug- gests the possibility of making 4 vol- cano of our own. Science could take one of the old cones down in Arizona, clean it out and fit it up with the proper sort of a gas plant, and we could have an active volcano that would not only entertain us, but doubtless would at- tract tourists from Europe.

WOMEN AND TERRAPIN, A PASTIME OF FOOLS Quaint Comments for the Post-Dispatch By Nixola Greeley-Smith. ~

Have you ever heard a They talk of love, but love, dear comrades, is Sissy ? but pastime for fools.—The President of the Bachelors’ Amusement Society. HERE is a time before a and after all our love affairs when we agree with this. very wise and therefore exceedingly young man. . But while Love may be the pastime of fools it is preciselv those persons who have never felt its divine foolishness who alone form the brother- hood or sisterhood of ‘‘sissies.”’ When we think about love, when we argue about it, we are pretty apt to reach the conclusion that it is an injus- tice to the guinea pig to be numbered among the least intelligent animals, while we are allowed on the same sphere. But when we are in love we know that Solomon was a prattling infant compared with us, to whom the wisdom of the ages has been imparted in a hand clasp or given, capsule fashion, in a kiss. There is a certain pride in being in love, but compared with the pride of loving it is shrinking and modest as the first snowdrop. The fairy ‘“‘Tinker Bell,’’ who, told that she is an abandoned little creature because she shows her love so much. answers, ‘Yes, and like a true woman I'm proud of it,’’ voices the sentiments of our entire sex. There is a certain Diana fearlessness, yet withal a hardness about the wom- an who has not loved, a fine, wonderful pride in her immunity. But the woman who loves has a finer, more wonderful humility that enables her to take honor that may come to her lightly, knowing it, compared with her love, to be of such little worth, to wear dishonor as a coronet, to smile at death. Even in the somber tragedies of pas- sion, those of Clytemnestra, of Fran- cesca da Rimini, of Hester Prynne, the women took probably an unalloyed pride in their forbidden love, as if they had been ingenuous maidens flashing the bethrothal diamond in the sun. Love in its intense form does not even feel the whiplash of scorn, and I have always questioned if the sinful wearer of the “Scarlet Letter’ felt half the anguish Hawthorne attributes to her. She might always have solaced herself with the thought that she wore Arthur Dimmesdale’s initial, like the insignia of some royal order on her breast. For when we love, rightly or otherwise, we are just as crazy as that. Love may be the pastime of fools, but it is the deeper wisdom of angela— of bright spirits, who know only its se- rene peace, its illumined tenderness, of lost souls who drink linge of its despair. . iebie not when NIXOLA GRPELEY- ” STUTH Maryland protects its terrapin, but not its women, — Mary Bentley Thomas. ga HUS, before the Sen- ate, did a delegation of women, the most expensive bipeds in crea- tion, argue for equal rights with the most expensive che- lonian—which, as anybody who hag just looked it up in the dictionary knows, is the terrapin’s full name, or, as they say down South, its intitle. The noble sentiment anent women and terrapin was uttered in the course of the annual argument in favor of granting woman the ballot, which the suffragikts think it necessary to present. I would just as soon think of attack- ing a burly burglar with syllogisms in an effort to make him return hig loot as trying to argue men into granting a right they are not compelled to. But if women have to waste time and breath in this manner it seems to me they might find a more suitable com- parison than the terrapin one. Men certainly do protect terrapin, care for them, fatten them, preserve them from contamination, that they may tickle their palates the more delight- fully. And that is precisely what they have been doing to us, molding us sim- ilarly to their tastes for thousands of years, and what the women suffragists are kicking about. If I objected to being classed with children and lunatics—the veteran war. ery of emancipated dames—I certainly wouldn't clamor for equal rights with the terrapin. I'd rather be compared to a child or lunatié any day in the year. Of course, the mutual item of expen- siveness makes the likeness palpable, apparent. But canvasback duck woulda fill that bill just as well—and the duck, it seems to me, is a nobler animal than the tortoise, and not so uncompliment- ary. § The inevitable ancient jest anent a)}- ways being in a stew carries the wo- man terrapin resemblance further. It is impossible to deny the likeness. but it seems strange It should have been pointed out by our advance guard of emancipation. Probably every woman with a brain big enough for an idea to turn around in is a suffragist in theory. She knows she ought to have a vote, though she isn’t sure that she wants it. The wolf with its tail cut off ev entually convinces himself and his brothers that tatis were very unwise. But sufffagists do we do not, want to be called terrapin,

STORIES TOLD IN WASHINGTON To a Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch,

a

“Will Miss Roosevelt wear high or low necked gown?’ telegraphed a frantic Cincinnati managing editor to his wom- an reporter here a few days ago. “She will wear high neck and demi- Sleeves,’’ the reporter telegraphed in reply. Shortly afterwards this message came, which fell into the hands of the regular correspondent: “Understand high neck all right, but what are demi-. sleeves ?’’ “The same as demi-tasse, only sleeves instead of coffee,” was the answer. Representative John Sharp Williams, before he came to Congress, was a member of the Board of Visitors to the state prisons of Mississippi. He with others was making a tour of the peni- tentiaries and saw a dejected looking convict sitting in his cell, “What's the matter, my man?” asked Mr. Williams. ‘Nothin’ much,” the “only I'm a victim.” ‘Victim of what?” ‘I'm a victim of the figure 13—a judge and 12 jurymen.”’ convict said; Porter was the name of a witness appearing in the Wood con- tested election case from St. Louis, ac- cording to the story told by Col. ‘*Bill’ Zevelly of Indian Territory. ‘What is your nationality?’ Chatrman Olmsted. “Half black and half swered Porter. ‘What do you do for a living?” “Tt jes’ jog around St. Louis.”’ “Were any of your friends present when you made this affidavit?’ asked Mr. Olmsted. ‘*’Deed, Mr. Committee, I ain't got a single frien’ in St. Louis; and I’s deaa sure I ain’t got none here.,”’ *Mose”’ asked white,” an- Members of the House who were in the Taft party visiting the Philippines were telling of a visit to Subig Bay. “We were within a mile of the place and saw everything,” Gen. Grosvenor said. “I saw the whole myself,” Repre- sentative Hill of Connecticut said. “We were not closer than five miles and a rainstorm was on, and we could not see anything,” declared Representa- tive Cooner of Wisconsin. “Well, what I would like to know is what the gentlemen were drinking— whether foreign or domestic—that {t could so affect thelr eyesight,” said Representative Tawney. “I went to dinner with some friends out in Missouri one night,” said Col, Bill Zeveley of the Indian Territory ‘and the man of the house was a bit

William M. Cochran dodged the issue. Chef Ratz finally consented to think it over a little longer, but the resignation of the chef is in the air, and he talks about taking his whole kitchen crew with him. It all happened hecause Madame Sarah Bernhardt is coming to town. Her en- Sagement is for March 1, 2 and 3 at the Garrick, in five of her plays. Usually she remains in her-car, which is a Httle hotel on its own account, but because of the length of the local. engagement she will go to a hotel. Chef Ratz heard that it was the Planters. Then he went up in the air for further orders. Madame Bernhardt carries her own chef, her own steward, her two maids and two men servants, her kitchen out- fit, her commissary. When she goes to a hotel she takes the whole outfit with | her, and her own chef, Anton, prepares all her food and serves her personally, tor she never eats from a ‘hotel kitchen. Ratz is not a French cook, but he cooks French. In 1883 he was chef ar the Restaurant du Plat ’Etan, in Par- is, and twice a day he personalty pre- pared Madame Bernhardt’s meals and sent them to her at-the Theater Saint- Martin. He made a cup custard that she liked so well that she would eat no other custard, nor be tempted to taste of any other custardy creation. “And now she will bring her own chef into my kitchen to upset my pots and pans?” interrogatively demanded Chef Ratz, straight from the shoulder. ‘“Ne- vaire! Par. bleu! Donnerwetter!"’ That’s why Ratz wants t@tTesign, but Acting Manager Cochran diplomat- ically holding him off. Now there fs great curiosity in the Planters kitchen to observe subsequent events when Anr- “Is it really? Well, ton, Madame Bernhardt’s personal chef, | something else.” walks in with his apron on and ready “What's that?” “Why, that Welsh rabbit I last night tasted so queer.” + Mme, Bernhardt Explains. Heaven and angels was under discus- sion. Some one remarked that he had never seen a picture of an angel with whiskers or mustache. ‘“‘] guess men never go to heaven,’ he said. “Oh, 1 think they some times go there,’ said Mme. Sara Bernhardt (see her at the Garrick soon), “but they get in only by a close shave.”’ it,

Let him play all the scrub ball at college he wants and take all due exercise for his But there is no reason on earth why he should be allowed to play «n_ the university nine, which is supposed to be composed of amateur players. Denying him this is no infringement on the rights or liberties of the athlete or the citizen. By all means let the worthy young man work his way through college in any honest way and playing ball 2s a professional is an honest method. But why is it desirable that he should be played as an amateur on the college feaih! Now, why?

This is the week the Sons and Stroms congregate at Ishpeming, Mich., to decide who is the best ski jumper in America.

Spectators who went out to see Clancy, Brady, Shannon, Cook and O’Brien play football Sunday after- noon complain that they got a fight as well as a game for their money. Did tiey think when they read the list of the guests of honor it was to be a pink tea? Miles J.

No hunt clubs, no polo clubs, no racquet clubs, few golf clubs, fewer ainietic clubs, but plenty of ‘‘iid’’ clubs. It is meet and proper that there should be a big kennel club in St. Louis. The records of the city registrar show that there are some 25,000 licensed dogs within the corporate limits. Of these at least one-third are of high breeding. For few men who do not know enough about a dog to appreciate breeding will pay license for one. Scaroo half of the dogs in the city are registered. With probably 7000 well-bred dogs in its confines and a large number outside of the city limits, St. Louls certainly must possess the material whence a fine dog show can be produced. Two thousand dogs makes a record bench for any show. Several hundred animals will come to St. Louis with the circuit. Indeed a bench show held in this city in April should bring 1500 dogs to the Coliseum. No stock display attracts so much at- tention, per se, as a kennel show. Clothes help horse shows. Dogs have more close personal friends than horses. To be sure most dogs are pets and be- loved in a manner more or less frantic. He or she is indeed a poor proprietor who is not quite certain that his or her dog can win first prize in his class on any bench. Though a trifle late it is good news to St. Louis that there will be a dog show. Breeding, rearing and training fine dogs is a high art and it is proper that we should give it fullest expression. CAMPBELL-GRAY AT BILLIARD TABLE. Argument over the balk line billiard match between Dr. Will O. Campbell and George Gray, schedule for Wednesday night at the Royal, is fur- nishing material for keen discussion. The match is quite the most import- ant one of the year, and will be de- cisive, as on it will depend to whom is to go the silver loving cup offered for supremacy in the balk line tour- nament, for the possession of which Campbell and Gray are now tied. With Gamrbell one game in the lead the two men met last week at Hau- ser’s with Charles C. Peterson, the lo- cal champion, refereeing. Near the close of the match Peter- son turned to score on the string, and as he did so Gray shot. Peterson had called the balls “in,” and turned as Gray was shooting. Campbell claimed it was the third shot in balk and Pe- terson said “no.” Spectators in the crowd took sides, some with Camp-

bell, others with Peterson.

Cardinals arrived in St. Louis from his home in Cleveland Wednesday morning. Mr. ltobison had much news to com- municate. For instance, he announced that Manager McCloskey had signed three new men for the club, all of his own selection, fellows he had seen play in the Northwestern leagues. The moss promising one of the lot is P. C. James, who played first base for the Seattle club of the Pacific Coast League last year. James is built on the lines of Bransfield and is said to be a hitter of exceptional power. He has al- Ways rated among the best fielders of the coast league and a clever knowledge of inside work is said to have been what first attracted the attention of the Cardinals’ manager. H. C. Hausen, who played last year with one of the Montana olubs, has also been signed and will be tried out at that station. John J. Burns, second baseman, who made his mark with Seattle in the Pa- cific Coast League by his great work around that sack, is the third new- comer that McCloskey has corralled. Mr. Robison also ennounced that he had signed O. IJ. Stange, a catcher of the Stockton club, upon the recommen- dation of Danny Shay, who says that the lad was the best receiver in North- ern California.

ARRESTS ARE PROMISED

John Stinson of San Francisco, Rich Victim, Buried in Potter's Field. PORTLAND, Me., Feb. 21.—A _ start- ling .story of murder, followed by a $1,000,000 robbery, the latter a mystery for eight years, the former unknown until wkhin a week, was given out last night, when it became known that Rob- ert C. Foster, a young attorney of this city, had solved the mysterious disap- pearance of John Stinson, the San Francisco millionaire who has been missing for eight years. Foster, at the same time, discovered that the safety deposit vault which Mr. Stinson owned in the Union Trust Co. of San Francisco had been opened and papers, stocks, bonds, etc., representing upward of $1,000,000, had been removed. Mr. Foster, acting in the interests of Mrs. Sarah Connor of this city, a sis- ter of Mr. Stinson, went to California & month ago to try to unravel the mys- tery surrounding the disappearance of her brother, which has baffled all inves- tigation during the past eight years. By clever detective work he found that a man answering the description of John Stinson had been murdered in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, in September, 1898, at just the date that Stinson had disappeared. The body was unidentified and was buried in the potter's field. Pictures of Body Shown. Photographs taken of the corpse at that time were produced, and a short time ago, in the San Francisco S8u- perior Court, were identified by friends of Stinson. Mrs. Connor's tel- egraphed description of her brother also tallied with a description of the body, even to a ring on his finger. Attorney Foster then appealed to the Court for an administrator of the estate. W. J. Hynes was appointed on the strength of the murder testimony, and he requested the Union Trust Co. to give him access to the safety de- posit box owned hy Stinson, and un- opened for eight years. They refused on the ground that murder had not been established, but the Court or- dered them to comply. To the consternation of the adminis- trator and the attorneys, the box was found empty. Yet, just prior to Mr. Stinson's last visit to the box in Au- gust, 1898, three weeks before his dis- appearance, it was known to contain title deeds -to mining’ property in Arizona and British Columbia repre- senting hundreds of thousands of dol- lars, a $100,000 draft on the Bank of England and $80,000 in Government bonds, Mr. Foster says his detectives ex- pect to make arrests in a short time.

Youn Drew s. in the “Dave” Has “Dave IAN 1 FEF JOANN S$ Tory AS DAVE CIA PP, E Eminent Missourian Dramatized in Thomas’ Comedy at Olympic Next Week. David R. Francis of Missouri, drama- be seen on the Uiyuipic week, beginning Monuay the rootlignt figure of Col. of Missouri in iiSsOurl, wil sSlage next eveilling, in ‘Dave’” Marpie “De Lancey.’ Playwright Thomas confesses that; “Dave” b rancis was his original for the cnaracter of ‘‘Dave’’ Marple, and Play-' er Menitee Jonnstone was seleeted tor the ruie because of his general personal resemblance to Gov. Francis, waich he increases by means of a make-up trank- ly intended to effect a cvuunterteit pre- sentment of the character's Original. Not only tnis, but Mr. Johnstone is also said to imitate Gov. Francis’ walk, car- riage of body and gestures in order to intensify the likeness. The result is described as, in effect, that of placing Gov. Francis veritably before the play-going public as if in his proper person. “Gus'’ Thomas knew Gav. Francis well in St. Louis, has met him frequently Since success as a. playwright seni Thomas himself to New York, and be- lieves that he has drawn a faithful pio- ture of ‘‘Dave’’ Franclse in “Dave” Mar- pile. He makes Marple ‘a prominent man from St. Louis, calculating as a Yankee and hospitable as a Texan, a man who insists on a square deal at all stages of the game.” At one moment play of “De Lancey,” where Dave’ Marple mentiqns the St. Louis World's Fair, ‘‘Gus’’ Thomas makes him speak of it as “my Fair,” thus identi- fying the stage Marple with the real- life Francis more strorgly than ever. Again, in an exciting scene, in which Gov. Francis’ stage domble “calls down’”’ John Drew as De Lancey for what he believes to be a trifling with the af- fections of his (Marple’s) daughter, the “Dave” Francis of the stage is made to declare himself as follows: ‘I come from Missouri, where people expect ghe ~ in every deal to grade up to Sample. Whenever we are con- vinced: that the cards are stacked we stop the deal.’’ The scene in which this Missouri dec- laration is voiced by the Gramatized Da- vid R. Francis is laid in a greenhouse to which De Lancey has been brought with a broken collar-bone, the result of a fall from his horse while riding to hounds. His injumes are being at- tended to by ‘‘Dave’’ Marple’s beautiful daughter, and Marple himself, not knowing of De Lancey’s hurt, thinks the two are together dn a clandestine meeting. He talks to De Lancey straight from the shoulder, and, at one time, it seams that the two will come to blows, “Vinol builds you up

NAMES TWO OFFICIALS :

Raymond & Oo. Had Big In- come at Policyholders’ Expense.

Former President, His Son and Son-in-Law Threaten Expose.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The McCurdys, father, son and son-in-law, have decid- ed to fight their former associates among the officers and hustlers of the Mutual Life Insurance Co. The whole truth about the management of the Mu- tua] may now come out. The McCurdys have grown weary of being the ‘‘goats’’ in the Mutual Life scandal. They have so far had to bear the blame of everything that has come to the surface, and up to today they kept silent, though all along they have seen others who shared in the profits of every financial scheme posing as earnest and diligent reformers of the evils within the company. That Rich- ard A. McCurdy, as president of the Mutua), provided means for the enrich- ment of his son and son-in-law on a vast scale is not disputed by his de- fenders. It is admitted that C. H. Raymond & Co. made stupendous sums by get- ting a collection fee on a large propor- tion of the premiums paid into the com- pany. This was in addition to the firm's excessive commissions on every dollar of insurance written by the com- pany in New York and Long Island. The collection fee was 2 per cent. This commission was paid on millions upon millions of premiums, which, in the ordinary course of things, would have come into the company’s treasury in any event. For the last three years the total premium income of the com- pany has.,averaged between $60,000,000 and $65,000,000 a year. In 1908 the total Was $60,151,020; in 1904, $62,032,097, and in 1905 slightly more. Big Collection Rake-Off. =~. Raymond & Co. did not get its 2 per os ~ * the company his clients they cent collection fee on the total of the premiums, but it was given the sinecure of handling the collections in many im- ortant districts in the United States. A group of officers, made up of some of the members of the Finance Committee, took upon themselves the authority to direct Raymond Co. to make oollec- tions in this section or that section of the country. No regular rule in giving the orders was followed, except that of giving the firm every possible chance to make im- mense sums at the expense of the policy holders. ~~ he contention made by a large num- ber of the Mutual trustees, since the Armstrong committee's investigation, that they were in complete ignorance of the arrangements which exf®ted be- tween Raymond & Co. and the Mutual Life is pronounced as absolutely false. A man speaking for the McCurdy family declared emphatically that they not only knew of the arrangements, but used the knowledge to personally profit by them. He asserted without equivo- cation, declaring that it would be proved at the proper time that a number of the trustees received rebates on the s paid to the companies on pol- cles on their own lives, and that they these rebates through Charles H. ad & Co. en asked to name any of the trus- ‘who t rebates in this way, he eric oP gr va sea of tual Life and former acting pres- ak also named Julien T.

YOUNG BAR SLAIN IN EUROPE New York Detective Reports Death of Former Califor- nia Senator’s Nephew.

MISSING TWO MONTHS

Drew $1000 From Bank in Brussels, but Failed to Sail. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—That Alfred M. Bard, nephew of former Senator Bard of California, met his death in Europe by foul play was the statement made by Detective-Sergeant John J. Fogarty, who returned to New York today on the Steamer Zeeland, from Brussels, Bel- gium. Forgarty went to Europe six weeks ago to look for the man, who had been missing for nearly two months. He brought back part of Bard's effects, including two valuable violins, one said to be worth $1000. Young Bard went to Brussels in Aug- ust last to study the violin. He intended to return to New York on a steamer leaving Antwerp on Oct. 20, last. His uncle, Senator Bard, was at the pier to meet him when the ship arrived, but he did not appear among the passengers. Senator Bard then applied to the New York police, who cabled to the Brussels authorities and the search for the young man has been steadily pressed. When the officials failed to find the young man, Senator Bard asked that’ Fogarty be permitted to go abroad to prosecute the search, and he was granted six weeks’ leave of absence without pay. This leave later was extended to March 1. In his capacity as a private detective Fo- garty was not obliged to report today to the local headquarters the _ result of his investigation. and none of the details of the search, therefore, were At this point Fogarty declined to make an extended statement. He said, however, that when he reached Brussels he learned _ that young Bard had made all arrange- ments to leave the Belgian city in October, according to his original plans. He withdrew $1000 which he had on deposit in a bank there, but at the last moment decided to post- pone his departure for one week. A French girl, with whom the young man had become acquainted with in Brussels, was responsible for the postponement, the detective said. At this point Fofarty declined to talk further about the case except to say that young Bard was dead and probably murdered. TO SEE FOLK AGAIN, A subcommittee appointed by the joint committee of the Municipal As- sembly on home rule will go to Jeffer- son City at the end of the week to make another effort to persuade the Governor to come to St. Louis to con- fer with the Home Rule Committee instead of the committee being com- pelled to go to the State Capitol to confer with him. At a meeting Tuesday afternoon of the committee, Councilmen Rolfes and Marks and Delegate Gazzolo were appointed ag members of the special committee. After the

meeting there was some dissatisfaction expressed by several members of the committee. They said that they didn't see the necessity for all the discussion about where the conference should be held. The main point was that it should be held. They said further that it was only proper that the committee should go to Jef- ferson ‘“4ty, because of the official standing of the Governor. et se er ee HADLEY AIDS NEW JERSEY Sends Standard Oil Information to Legislators.

Bowman, one of the wealthiest men in East St. Louis, and Miss Mabel Reese, a pretty waitress, were married Tuesday morning despite strenuous ovjections on the part of the eider Bowman and John J. McLean, an uncle of the groom. Me- Lean even tore up the ma e license, which had been obtained after much trouble, in an attempt to prevent the wedding. Walter Bowman and his bride called at the residence of Marriage License Clerk Caughlin about 8 p. m., Tuesda and- asked for a license. Caughlin aid not believe that the father of young Bowman knew of his contemplated step so he called the father up by telephone and explained the situation. “I will not issue the license unless you say it is all rignt, said Caughlin. Bowman said that he knew nothing of his son's intention to marry, that he had not been consulted and that he did not want the license issued. So P#ughlin told the young man and the giri that he would not issue the license. In vain the couple pleaded with him. The young man said he was 22 and the girl said she was 19. Caughlin did not dispute the ages, but he would not issue the license. Then young Bowman called his ¢ather up on the telephone and they had a heated argument. Fiancee in Angry Talk. The son begged and finally called Miss Reese to the telephone. She had @ brief talk over the wire with her prospective father-in-law which she ended by de claring: “I don’t have to marry your son. I have a home in which I am welcome.” And she hung up the receiver. After further argument with Caughlin, young Bowman again called up his fath- er and had a further talk. Then he called Caughlin to the telephone and the father told the license clerk to issue the license. This was done and the happy couple went awey. : Bowman took his bride to her boarding house at 216 Missouri avenue, where he left her while he went out to get a minister or Justice to perform the cere- mony.

An official envelope wag protruding from the young man’s pocket. The uncle seized it, saw wat it was and tore the license into bits and threw the scraps into the gutter. Bowman called Caughiin up on the telephone and reported the matter. Caughlin said he had no more blanks at his home, but promised to issue a dupli- cate license Wednesday morning. The tearing up of the license prevented a marriage Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Bowman and Miss Reese were at the license clerk’s office early and a duplicate license was issued. Justice McKane performed the cere- mony. After the ceremony the groom called his mother up by telephone and told her of his marriage. He explained that he was amply able to take care of a wife and asked for her forgiveness. After some talk he agreed to have a second ceremony performed and he then made arrangements to be married aguin by Rev. F. Hanson of First M. B. Church, Fast St. Louis. The second ceremony was set for Wednesday night. Father Says Protest Vain, Frank B.

The verdict breaking the wili of the late Adam Bauchens of East St. Louis was set aside and a new trial! grant- ed by Judge Moyers in City Court. The suit was brought by Louis Bauchens, representing the holes of Adam Bau- chens, against illie B. Davis, to! whom he willed a house and lot val- ued at $5060. Adam Bauchens, who owned consid- erable property in East St. Louis, died) March 22, 1905, and by his will, ex- ecuted Dec, 19, 1904, left a part of his roperty to his children, and left a nousée and lot on North Eighth street to Mrs. Lillle B. Davis, with whom he boarded at the time of his death, hav- ing been divorced from his wife. A deed to this property was also made by Bauchens to Mrs. Davis and placed in the hands of F. J. Steger, a real es- tate man, to be delivered to Mrs. Da- vis at his death, provided Mrs. Davis took care of him until he died. On the day after his death Mrs. Davis se- cured the deed from Steger and had it recorded in the Recorder's office at Belleville. A suit ig now pending to set aside thie deed. This suit was brought by Bauchens’ heirs to set aside the will on -the grounds that Bauchens was feeble and not in his right mind when he made the will, and that Mrs. Davis had exercised undue influence over him. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the heirs, setting the will aside, but Judge Moyers’ order sets this verdict aside and makes a new trial necessary. The case will be re- docketed for the March term. “Paddy” Brennan Left $352. An inventory of the cstate of Patrick Brennan, known in ward politica as “Paddy” Brennan, and made famous by the speeches attributed to him. In which he declared that he, when in the House of Delegates, gave poor men ‘‘work to do on the streets when there was no work,'’ was filed Wednesday in Probate Court. The estate amounted to $352.85. The items were: Accounts, $141: cash, $133.21; goods and chattels, $73.55. He lived at 1350 Glasgow avenue.

NEW BILLS FOR FREE BRIDGE President Forman Introduces Measure Proposing Bond Is- sue of $12,000,000.

ONE FOR BRIDGE ALONE

Joint Committee Would Elimi- nate Other Points From Their Bill. Close on the heels of the summary killing by the City Council of the free bridge bond issue bill two new free bridge bond issue bills are now pending in beth branches of the Municipal As- seinbly. President Forman introduced a bill Tuesday afternoon which appropriates $12,000,000 for eight specified public im- provements, one being $4,500,000 for a municipal free bridge, to be voted upon July &. Councilman Cramer, on behalf of the Joint Free Bridge and Bond Issue Committee, introduced ‘gg bill which appropriates $3,500,000 for a free bridge only, to be voted on July 9. Mr. Kollas introduced in the House a bill similar to President Forman’s, and Mr. Coale introduced the Joint Com- inittee’s bill in the lower branch of the Municipal. Assembly.

City Counselor Bates said that ac- cording to the free bridge clause in the old bill the city would be powerless tw , collect toll from anybody or even 4] maintenance fee. President Forman's bill says that the bridge shall be free in the sense that no railroads, street cars, or other mode of transportation using the bridge shall collect any charge above the mileage basis.

BARDENHETER, ELECTION,

Wine and Liquor Company Opens New Year in Fine Shape. The annual meeting of the stockhold- 210 to 214 Market street, was were elected: Charles W. Bardenheler, president; John H. Bardenheier, vice- and Joseph A. Bardenheler, conditions of the business are excellent, and the officers reported that large increases were made in 196 A very successful year is expected for 196. John Bardenheier was the founder of the company. He was born in 184, at Oberlahnstein, Germany, and after The senheim, celebrated for its vineyards, where he stayed three years, learn- ing culture, treatment and handling of wine. Desiring broader fields for his activity he came to St. Louis in 1866 and became connected with the firm of Charles Wezler, who was the most prominent wholesale liquor dealer in the city. He was with this company for eight years, and gained an intimate knowledge of the details of the business. In 1873 he es- tablished the buSiness which now bears his name, on Market street. He conducted the business personally for 20 years and won the esteem and confidence of his customers by correct principles and fair dealing. His business gained from year to year, and the home of the company had to be en- larged and rebuilt severa] times. One store and cellar at 220 Market street was sufficient room at the be- ginning, but after a few years the store adjoining was added: The _ continued growth made !{t necessary to provide still larger quarters, and this led to the purchase of three houses, 210-i2-14 Market street, the present site of the business, where a new building was erected in 1893, especially adapted for a business of this character. Under these buildings are three large -wine cellars, filled with wines of the finest vintages from all parts of the world... Sons Become Partners. The present name, John Bardenheler Wine and Liquor Co., was adopted and incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri in 1895, when Mr. Bar- denheier took into partnership his sons, Charles, John and Joseph. Mr. Gardenheier remained at the head of the business until 1905, when he re- tired on account of ill health. He went abroad, but upon reaching Europe he grew gradually worse and died at Neu- enahr, Germany. The remains were brought to St. Louis for burial. Charles Bardenheier assumed the head of the business at the death of his fa- ther. For over twenty years he was is father’s associate and is thoroughly familiar: with every detail. In accord- ance with the wish of his father, he went abroad in 1888 and became con- nected with the firm of C. F. Eccardt, Kreuznach, Germany. who is one of the most prominent wine dealers in that country. He rematned there two years, acquir- ing a thorough knowledge of the wine business. John H. Bardenheier had been with his father 15 vears. He acted as the company’s traveling representative, and now stands at the head of the sales- men and travelers in Illinois, lowa and Missouri. He has gained hundreds of customers for the house, his territory hecoming more and more extended and his sales have been on a steady in- Crease. In 1896 he went to California to learn the details of the making of wines and pbrandies, becoming connected with the Italian-Swiss agricultural colony, among the most famous wine growers in that State. He returned after two years with the highest testimonials as to his thorougn knowledge of the wine and dy business. gion A. Bardenheler, like all of his brothers, a college graduate, be- came connected with the ‘boukenia when quite young, starting at the bottom and working in every department. He is the head of the office force and is well adapted for the work. He is ably assisted by his younger brother, Arthur, who has charge of the shipping and billing department; also George P. Deibel, who has held the po- sition of bookkeeper and credit man for 12 years, during whi« *h time he has ren- dered steady and untiring service. Henry Sierk , has been traveling for the company li years and has a large territory, embracing Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma. He is a stock- holder in the company. Henry Waelter has been with the company lo years, starting at the bot- tom. He is now the leading city rep- resentative, which position he has ooc- cupied 12 years. He aiso is a stock- ee Bardenheier Wine and Li- quor Co. enjoys an enviable reputation wherever it is known, a _ reputation based upon the sterling qualities of its founder, Mr. John Bardenheler, who, bv his activity, energy, integrity and long experience, built up one of the most prominent business houses of the West, which is the result of his untir- ing labor, strict adherence to honest business princi inles and fairness in al] tra - Sac tions, All of the sons conformed to their fa-
