Blaze in Comfort Hotel Started by Excited Man Who Threw Lamp. -_- SCUERS ARE RESISTED rll is ies | og asi ws Wne of the Injured Fights Them and Returns to Burn- ing Room.

One man in a high state of nervous excitement threw a lighted lamp into a paeoom on the third floor of the Comfort @ Hotel, at Twentieth and Market streets, Webout 6 a. m., Tuesday, and caused a fire from which he and the occupant of a@ room next to his escaped by jumping from the windows. Both men’s skulls were fractured, one died within a few hours and the other is in a critical condition. The man who threw the lamp was P. 7. Hughes, 26 years old, of Lincoln, feb., who arrived in the city Saturday. He represented the United States FIi- Gelity and Casualty Co. as an agent Yor the Lincoin general office. ‘The other injured man, J. A. Court- hey, 55 years old, superintendent of con- Be@truction at the Missouri Pacific Hos- pital, died in City Hospital. His face and body were burned. The damage done by the fire is esti- mated at #2000. The flames were con- ifined to the two rooms occupied by Hughes and Courtney. _ There were 12 other guests in the ho- tel. ‘They were aroused and left the “hotel after dressing, walking through “the corridors and out the doors, ¥ “fidor, facing on Market street.

Chief Greeted Warmly by Old Friends and Holds Levee in Hallway, eee

The trial of Chief of Police Mathew Kiely on charges filed against him by the Board of Police Commissioners, is in progress in the Board roon: at Four Courts. It began this afternoon, despite the protests of Kiely, through his at- torneys, who asked for a continuance and attacked the authoricy of the Board to try the Chief. Attorney Saunders, for Chief Kiely, requested a continuance as soon as the cause was called. He said the attorneys had not had time to prepare, and be- sides there were undecided law points involved. President Stewart interposed that they were not concerned overmuch about the law points. It was facts that they wanted. Attorney Saunders said it was by no means certain that after the law points had been decided, it would be found that the board had any auihority to take evidence relatitve to the facts. ‘Well, we will put it to a vote, President Stewart. The vote was taken and the request for a continuance was unanimously re- fubed. Attorney Saunders then read the specifications one by one and made ob- jéations to’ them. Hecause of the trial members of the Pboard and witnesses began arriving at Four Courts shortly after noon. President Stewart reached Four Courts it 1 o'clock and went to the boardroom. He summoned Inspector Laliy and sug- gested that it would be well to keep the corridors clear and gave directions tha! there was to be no smoking allowed in the boardroom on account of the ill- health of Commissioner Maroney. Commissioner Fristoe came next and then Commissioner Maroney came in a carriage, accompanied by Lieut. Mc- Donald and Gus Yore, of Circuit At- torney Sager’s office, the latter carry- ing a suit case filled with papers, among which, it was conjectured, was the famous little book of Ollie Roberts. Commissioner Jones and Mayor Wells, Attorneys Saunders and Leahy, for Chief Kiely, and stenographers for both sides, came in about the saine tiie. Chief Kiely Held Reception. Acting Chief Gillaspy was dropping a letter in the box in the corridor when Chief Kiely entered. They shook hands and Kiely remarked that he was going to ask for a continuance. Kiely did not go into the end of the building where the Chief's office is, but walked back to the foot of the main Staircase. He stopped to speak to some acquaintances there and was soon sur- rounded by a crowd. He shook hands with everybody and held an informal reception. As soon as the board was called to order Inspector Lally was directed to telephone to Circuit Attorney Sager for a grand jury stenographer. icf Gillaspy detailed men to the hallway back of the board room clear. The witnesses were at the Clark avenue entrance. Comp- trolier Player and City Counselor Bates were stopped as they tried to enter the hallway. They argued. but the policemen stuck to orders.

‘TEACHER'S AGE MYSTERY

Miss Gaillard, Another Patrick Witness, Spars With the Court,

TOO MUCH FOR JEROME

Texas Schoolma’am Can't Be Induced to Tell Her Years.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Joseph Jordan, one of the Texas witnesses who have given testimony in the hearing for ua new trial for Albert T. Patrick, con- victed murderer, has confessed that he conimitted perjury on the witness stand, according to a statement made by Dis- trict Attorney Jerome today. The an- nouncement was made to Recorder Goff when the hearing was resumed. Jordan was arrested last night on the perjury charge. The District Attorney told Recorder Goff that Jordan sent for him and voluntarily made a confession in the presence of Jerome and Assistani District Attorney Garvin. The particular point on which the per- jury charge was made was Jordan's de- nial on the stand that he had served a term of imprisonment at Huntsville, Tex. In his confession the District At- torney said today Jordan admitted that he did serve a term at Huntsville. Albert T. Patrick, the condemned murderer of William Marsh Rice, whose motion for a new trial is being heard before Recorder Goff, will not waive anything. His attorneys say they will rrotect his rights at every turn, which means that Patrick will not give his consent to ‘Fred’ House, his former lawyer, taking the stand and telling of the conversation they had in the Tombs before an indictment was found against Patrick. Valet Jones swore that both he and Patrick ‘had confessed to House that rms a a ne eT Evils Resulting From Constipation ‘How This Trouble May Be Readily Corrected.

Qe they had slain the old millionaire. The Patrick hearing was greatly en- livened by a futile effort made by Mr. Jerome and Recorder Goff to learn the exact age of Miss Golliard, the Texas school teacher. She parried their ques- tions for 20 minutes and compelled them to give up. Miss Gaillard was the first witness summoned to the stand. The District Attorney at once took her in hand for # series of pointed questions. How Old Is Ann? Q. How old are you now? A. Iam in my thirties. Q. I insist on an answer. A. If you will add five years to the year 1870 you will know the date. Here the District Attorney appealed to the Court to secure an answer. The witness fenced with the Recorder. “I don't see ’what it has to do with the case,’’ she said. “I think when a lady answers the question it looks to me like it ought to be enough.”’ Finally the Recorder lost his patience. ‘You object to answering that ques- tion?’’ he asked. “{ do not.’’ she said. ‘Then answer and quit trifling,’’ said the Recorder. “I shall be obliged to commit you to prison for contempt of court.”’ “Why, “could you criminal] ?”’ “You must answer at once,’’ said the Recorder, ‘‘unless the arswer would in- criminate or degrade you.’’ “ no; it wouldn’t do that.”’ “Then answer the guestion,”’ said the Recorder firmly. 3 Judge,’’ asked the witness, do that to a lady—is that “How oid are you: “Somewhere between 39 and 30.”’ “Is that the best answer you can give?” interposed the District Attorney. ‘The very best I can do,’ said the witness. retreating behind her gloved hand and her long white veil. Q. Do you remember the Centennial Exvosition? A. Yes. Q. How old were you then? A. About 12 vears old, I think. Q. That would make you 42 years old now, wouldn't it” A. It might.

The snowstorm sent most of the 50 girl students of the university hurrying home early Monday, but a round dozen of them remained through class hours and found then that there was no way of returning to St. Louis or to the suburban towns where they lived. They congregated in Chancellor Chap- lin’s office, and were told.that they would be taken under the protection of Mrs. Chaplin and* Mrs. Gaston Douay, wife of the university professor of French. Mrs. live Chaplin and Mrs. Douay in Section B of Tower Dormitory. When | it was found that the snowbound girls must remain over night at the Univer- sity, it was determined to take them to this section. The men of Section B heard of this arrangement and gallantly volunteered to carry the girls across the 400 yards of snowdrifts intervening. Led by Murray Carleton Jr. of the sophomore class and Fred English, a junior, some 15 of the Section B men performed this task of university gallantry and hospi- tality. Faints Amid Drifts. The snowdrifts in some places were four or five feet deep and it was neces- sary for the young men, in pairs, to make chairs of their hands and thus carry the girl students through the snow. One of the latter, Miss Katherine Knight of Webster Groves, a member of the freshman class, fainted during the adventurous journey, and had to be carried to the dormitory by four young collegians, being revived after their ar- rival there. Encouraged by Mrs. Chaplin and Mrs. Douay from the windows of Section B dormitory, the university boys success- fully made the adventurous Alpine climb through the snowdrifts, carrying their young women classmates, and delivered them safely to the chaperonage of the two faculty ladies. A ringing cheer greeted the successful performance of the task. The Section B men were much elat- ed by their achievement, and sallied forth to return to the Administration But the Sec- tion A men, their traditional rivals and enemies, were jealous and had planned an ambuscade, surprising the others midway between the dormitory and the Administration Building, and opening fire on them with a_ broad- side of snowballs. Instantly the Sec- tion B men formed themselves into a hollow square to repel the attack and returned the snowball fire with greatest spirit Just as all this came to pass,

Section A men being generaled by iarl Morgan, sophomore, and the Sec- tion B men by English and Carleton, with Alvin oodbar, Fred Gilster, Perry Allen and Walter P. Schuck among those engaged in the battle, Prof. Alex Chessin and Prof. Lovejoy appeared upon the scene. Professor Is Unhatted, The two professors at first thought the snowball battle great fun, but final- ly Prof. Lovejoy's hat was knocked off by one of the projectiles and Prof. Chessin was struck in the mouth by another, and then the two professors re- solved themselves in a Hague inter- national peace tribunal and called the ee to a halt, terminating the ray. After dinner the battle was renewed, this time taking on the aspect of a fight between the upper and lower class- men. The seniors, juniors and sophomores captured 27 freshmen and taking them to where they could be seen by the snowbound girls from the dormitory windows, compelled them each to dive repeatedly into the deep snowdrifts. When this had been done a sufficient number of times to satisfy the triumph- ant upper class men, the lower class chaps were permitted to retire from the scene, covered with snow and in sorry plight. But there was something of re- venge left, for on their way to their own quarters they encountered upper classmen Walter Heimbucker and Terry Allen and, overpowering them, ducked them in the snowdrifts time and again. This ended the battling for the day, Later in the evening, after all had eaten in the university ‘“‘commons,”’ the Sec- tion B men telephoned to Mrs. Chaplin and asked if the girls might not call at their quarters. Mrs. Chaplin agreed to this, and chaperoned the girls. Coffee was served, and the entertainment closed with a dance. In the meantime the young women had telephoned to their homes, and sleeping quarters were fixed up for them under Mrs. Chaplin's direc- tion. They breakfasted at the university Tuesday morning and then went to their respective classes, Among the snowbound university girls were Miss Knight and Miss Gladys Dawson of Webster Groves, the latter vice-president of the class of 1909; Misses Olna Hudler, ’09, of 342 Commonwealth avenue; Jennie Knight, °10, of Tuxedo; May Hamilton, '06, 2329 St. Louis ave- nue; Rose Pechman, ‘06, 2329 South Compton avenue; Caroline Steinbreder, ‘06, 236 South Newstead avenue; Ruth Dickinson, ’06, 5929 Cates avenue; Mabel Knoll, ‘06, Webster Groves; Harrel Ste- vens, ’06, 4043 Julietta avenue; Vida Gruner, ‘07, 3406 Hawthorne boulevard; Helen Patterson, ‘07, Stanton, Ill, and Vina Colloy, '06, 3934 Shenandoah ave- nue. The hostilities were renewed by the warring classes Tuesday morning, but were interrupted by class hours, and it is expected that a fierce battle still re- mains to be fought before the supply of snow has disappeared.

T., Feb. 27.— Assistant Attorney-General Lake be- gan taking testimony here today in the ouster case of the State of Mis- souri against the Standard and other companies. John Burrows, a whole- Sale oil dealer, said that while in the employ of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., part of his salary was paid by the Standard Oil Co. He had from time to time received instructions to cut prices to a point at which it was im- possible for independents to do busi- ness, He was instructed to. get samples of oil shipped in if he had to steal them. There had never been any competition between the Standard and the Wa- ters-Pierce companies in Oklahoma, Burrows said that all oils used by the International Harvester Co. in Oklahoma were charged to the Stand- ard Oil Co. “The Waters-Pierce people put false labels on their oils for harvesters,” said Burrows. ‘The harvester people furnished the labels.’ HANGED_ DESPITE SLASHED.

M., Feb. 27.—John Conley, sentenced to hang yesterday for the murder of James Redding and Charles Purdy a year ago, was seaffold unconscious and bleeding from severe gashes in his throat, inflicted by himself. in an attempt to commit. suicide, and _ so hanged. Conley was found yesterday morn- ing unconscious in his cell, slowly bleeding to death from wounds in his throat. inflicted upon himself. The untoward event was allowed in no way to interfere with the execution. He was dragged to the scaffold, where the guards held the limp body upright while the noose and hood were adjusted and then let the body slip through the trap. Conley slowly strangled to death. The wound at the throat stopped bleeding 10 minutes after the trap had been dropped, and five minutes later life was pronounced extinct. Conley was convicted by a jury, 11 members otf which were Spanish- speaking. and had to follow the court proceedings only through an _inter- preter. An appeal to the Territorial Supreine Court was granted, but Con- ley being too poor to furnish a tran- script of the evidence, it was not re- viewed by the Court. Later the tran- script was furnished, but Gov. Hager- man refused a reprieve of 30 days, necessary to reopen the case.

AND TOOK POISOR Joseph Eiselein Ended Suffer- ing From an Incurable Dis- ease in Hotel. HAD TRIED ONCE BEFORE ——— ee He Was 55 Years Old and Was Well Known in Vicinity of Waterloo, Ill. Kneeling as if in prayer, Joseph Eise- lein, 56 years old, of Waterloo, Ill., was found dead in his room at the Wies Hotel, East St. Louis, Tuesday morn- ing. Death was due to poison. The kind has not been determined. He is believed to have taken it to end his sufferings from an incurable disease. The discovery that Eiselein was dead was made at $:30 a. m. by Esther Hogan, employed at the hotel. She informed John Wies, the proprietor, and he called in Dr. Spannage), As Hiselein had regis- tered from Waterloo, UL, Dr. J. T. Fultz and Senator A. . Bollinger of that place, who were at the hotel, were also informed of the death of the man. Dr. Spannagel and Dr. Fultz agreed that death was due to poison, but could not tell what kind. Eiselein has been employed around Waterloo for years. He came to East St. Louis Sunday night, intending to have an operation performed before re- turning to Waterloo. Monday he came over to St. Louis and visited a hospital. It is supposed- that he was told that an operation would not help him. He returned to the hotel at 10:30 p. m. and went to his room and was not seen alive again. Four years ago he attempted to kill himself by taking rat poison. The body was taken to the Benner-Brichler morgue, where an inquest will be held. So far as is known, Eiselein had no rela- tives in this country. TRADING STAMPS GAINING PUBLIC FAVOR.

iablennaleser dba iat shop regenera TRUST AGAN * ' Supreme Court of Missouri De- cides That Testimony Must Be Given. MUST ALSO SHCW BOOKS “This Decision Paves the Way for the Actual Resumption of Inquiry, Attorney-General Hadley said to a Post-Dispatch reporter in Jefferson City Tuesday that he would immediately ask the Supreme Court to fix the time and place when he shall take the testimony of officers of the Republic Oil Co., who refused to testify several months ago. He wiil also ask Judge Gildersleeve in New York to require H. H. Rogers to answer the questions which he declined to answer ‘“‘on advice of counsel.’’. Attorney-General Hadley said: “The Court decided that the order made last September by Judge Fox, un- der the anti-trust law, requiring C. L. Nichols and W. T. McKee, the presi- dent and secretary of the Republic Oil Co., to appear before Commissioner An- thony with the stock book of that com- pany, was a proper order, overruling the motion of the respondents’ counsel to set it aside. ‘“Mhe Court also decided that the stat- wte under which this order was obtained } was constitutional. In refusing to set aside this order, the Court stated that evidence tending to show the common ownership of the stock of the Standard Oil, Waters-Pierce and Republic Oil companies was competent and material in this case under thé issues made by the pleadings. Effect Is Far-Reaching. “The general effect of the decision is to strengthen the power of the State in its right to require corporations doing business in this State to comply with the provisions of our statutes enacted for the purpose of requiring such cor- porations to disclose evidence as to whether they are or are not violatiing our laws. In this particular the decision is of general interest and marked im- portance as similar questions are before the courts of other states and the Su- preme Court of the United States for decision. . “If other courts follow the position taken by the Supreme Court of Mis- souri in this decision, many of the evils that have existed in the organization and methods of large business, enter- prises can be more easily corrected. “The logical effect. ef the decision, in reference to the questions pending be- fore Judge Gildersieeve in New York, will, in my opinion, be to secure an order that H. H. Rogers and the other witnesses examined in New York shall answer the questions which they de- clined to answer under the advice of counsel. “y will ask the Court to make a sup- plementary order, fixing the time and place at which the president and sec- ““ipetary of the Republic Oil Co, shall appear before Judge Anthony. “? will also ask Judge Gildersleeve of the Supreme Court of New York to re- quire Mr. Rogers to answer the ques- tions which he has declined to answer.”’ Inquiry on in New York. Henry Wollman, New York repre sentative of Mr. Hadley, said toa Post- Dispatch representative in New York Tuesday that he would at once apply ts Justice Gildersleeve for an order di- recting Rogers to answer. He said that there was no doubt that the order would be issued. The inquiry in New York has been going on daily, brief sessions being held each day at which subpena- servers have reported their failure to obtain service on John D. Rockefeller. Frank Hagerman, Missouri counsel for the Standard Oil Co., said Tuesday, according to dispatches from Kansas City, that an appeal was still possible, but that it would have to be made in the form of objections after questions had been asked and answered. ‘“‘But the Attorney-General has gained his point,” Mr. Hagerman remarked. Attorney-General Hadley, who, at the time of the decision, was in Kansas ty in connection with the maximum freight rate proceedings in the Federal Court, declared there that the decision gives the State all it has asked for. He gaid that the proceedings in New York would be resumed at the earliest possi- ble moment. The examination of H. Clay Pierce in St. Louis before Commissioner Anthony is set for Thursday. —e————

THINKS CHARTER NEEDS. RENISIO

| Secretary of the Civic League Reviews the History of the Document. —_ FRAMERS NON-PARTISAN

Seventy - Three Amendments Have Been Proposed to Char- ter Since 1876, “A number of inquiries have come to this office asking how the body Of 13 freeholders were appointed in 1876 to draft the present city char- ter,” said Secretary Fesler of the Civic League, to a Post-Dispatch re- porter yesterday. “I have looked up the question in the daily papers for that period and the history of the matter is this: “Following the adoption of the Con- stitution, which provided for the elec- tion of 13 freeholders, to draft a scheme for the separation of the city and county, and a charter for the City of St. Louis, a joint session of the City Council and the County Court was held Jan. 4, 1876, to agree upon a date) the date was for the election. April 5, of the regular spring election, agreed upon. “Between the time of this agree- ment and the day for the election, a number of prominent citizens of St. Louis organized a nonpartisan move- ment, composed of delegates from the various business and civic organiza- tions, the Merchants’ Exchange, the Manufacturers’ Association, the Me- chanics’ Exchange, the Board of Trade, the Citizens’ Committee and the Tax Payers’ League. These rep- resentatives met and determined upon a nonpartisan ticket and published an address to the voters of St. Louis. The following named gentlemen composed the ticket: James O. Broadhead, M. Dwight Collier, August Krieckhaus, Silas Bent, Frank H. Lutkewitte, George Penn, David H. Armstrong, Michael Phelan, Samuel Reber, Geo. W. Parker, Albert Todd, Henry T. Mudd and George H. Shields. Ticket Was Nonpartisan, “In their address the committee stated that these gentlemen represent- ed no one party or interest in the com- munity, but that they had been selected because of their high character and per- sonal merit to represent the widely di- vergent interests in the city. They urged that no vote be cast for any member of the board on _ political grounds, that election to the board of freeholders should be based entirely upon merit and should at, the same time embrace and give expression to th? various shades of opinion in the eet aad The address was signed y: “LL. 8. Metcalf, P. McGrath, Henry Feurbach, E. C. Sterling, James Duross, John R. "Shepley, Henry Hitchcock, John H. Fisse, H. E. Hauessler, Chas. Speck, Wm. Bosbyshell, Wm. M. Mce- Pheeters, Walter C.

Samuel, Nathan Cole, John M. Booth and Henry J. Spaunhorst. Following the nomination of this People’s Charter ticket,’ the two politi- cal parties appointed committees which held a number of executive Sessions, and March 20 agreed to indorse the People’s Charter ticket.’ The same evening the Executive Committee of the different organizations met, planned their campaign and resolved to raise $5000 to insure the success of the ticket. One thousand dollars was subscribed on the spot. The result of the vote April was an overwhelming victory for the eople’s Party ticket.

Minister Rockhill tells a different story. idis cablegrams have led the President to suspect the Emperor’s Government of duplicity, a policy similar to that fol- lowed by China just previous to the Boxer outrages. Minister Rockhill’s last cablegram, un- der yesterdays date, was not given to the press, but was clusely followed by the cable announcing the destruction of the American missions at Nanchang and the reported massacre of eight Jesuits and the English family, the Kinghams, supposed*to number father, mother and two children. A request for military information was sent to Adjutant-General James A. De Armond of Missouri a few days ago. It is stated that Missouri now has four regiments ready for immediate duty, subject to the call of the Government, besides an unattached battalion. There is also one artillery battery in St. Louis and another is now being organized ix Kansas City. In round numbers, the State has 5000 troops, which could be put into the field at once. —_~o-- — U. 8. BATTLESHIP OHIO TO BE SENT TO CHINA.

24 PASSENGERS IN CAR

Snow Plow Derailed and Trouble Encountered—Suffered From Hunger. Tf it takes one trolley car, with 24 Passengers, 20 hours to go three miles, * how deep is the snow? ‘Women marooned “This question puzzled 19 men and five in a Clayton car at Skinker road, a mile west of De Bali- viere avenue, from noon Monday until early Tuesday morning. Most of these passengers were bound for Price, in St. Louis County, five miles west of the city limits, and two miles beyond Clayton. The car left De Baliviere and Delmar avenues at 11 a. m. Monday and reached the Clayton public square at 7 a, m. Tuesday. ? One of the passengers had a basket of eggs and two lo. es of bread, but ‘there was no way to « 9k the eggs, and those who were overcome by hunger were taken back to De Baliviere ave- mue on a relief car to get a lunch. Twelve of the passengers stuck it out on the blocked car and the others re- turned to it as soon us they consumed their sandwiches and coffee. The car’ reached Skinker road a mile west of the St. Louis terminus at 1 p. m. There the road was impassable be- cause of drifts, and the car was re- versed, reaching De Baliviere avenue at 3 o'clock. A sweeper was then sent on in front of the car. Three times the sweeper left the rails. When it was found that the road could not be opened in this way the car again ran back to the ter- minus and a wrecker was sent to re- move the obstructing sweeper. The car made a third start and this time reached Skinker road and poked its nose into the drift. There it re- mained for the night. ._Early Tuesday morning a force of men Went to work shoveling the snow from the track, and at 5 a. m. the car was under way. The remaining two miles to Clayton was covered in two hours. Those of the passengers who remained on the car spent the night in telling stories and cracking jokes. Among the marooned passengers whose destination was Price were: A. G. Goodenough, G. H. Sellenrieth, Harry Strattmann, Harry Seibert, John Balron, William Balron, Henry .White, Mrs. H. N.

A physician first healed himself with oy Then he healed others, and tells ais story in a straightforward, busi- ness-like way: * “For a long time,” he writes, “I was unable to assimilate comfortably any ordinary or prepared breakfast foods. Nearly everything disagreed with me, in on heavy headaches, a bad taste in the mouth, and a dullness of mind that was not only unpleasant

Since beginning the use of Grape-Nuts food some months ago, however, these troubles have vanished and breakfast is relished and enjoyed as it ought to be. “I find, too, that a small quantity of Grape-Nuts and cream eaten just be- fore starting out to visit patients at night prevents the feeling of depres- Le gion that used to result from this extra exertion and loss of sleep. _ “My wife suffered for several months from recurring attacks of indigestion with fermentation—she would be very * miserable for days at a time and al- _—. any kind of food added to the She found by experiment that ; ; by. wing Grape-Nuts relief would be ned in a very short time, even _ when ordinary remedies for indigestion patient of mine, suffered with sympathetic heart trou- proved at once acceptable to her recovery to per- ily followed. rape-Nuts an excel- a Ss ent food for patients convalesci from oe evers, as typhoid oa pne . and a ‘pneumonia lways recommend its use by such.

TOTALED FIVE MILLIONS

Also Loaned $500,000 to Sena- tor Clark Without Any Collateral.

By Leased Wire From the New York ___Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Astounding disclosures are contained in a report of the joint examination of the New York Life Insurance Co., made by the Insur- ance Commissioners of Tennessee, Ken- tucky, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minne- sota. An affidavit made by Edmund D. Randolph, treasurer of the New York Life, on Feb. 19, which was Monday of last week, contains an amazing admis- sion. The following question was put to Mr. Randolph: “Has tne company at any time in the past loaned uny of its nontaxable se- curities to any bank, corporation or person for the purpose of enabling the borrower to avoid taxation or for any other purpose?’’ Mr. Randolph made this answer: “The First National Bank of New York, from Oct. 13, 1902, to June 2, 1904, borrowed from the company New York City bonds and bonds of the State of Massachusetts, aggregating $5,100,000, and, as security for their return, de- posited with the company satisfactory collateral which it at all times keeps good. T'hese bonds under a special rul- ing made by the Secretary of the Treas- ury of the United States, were lodged with the Treasurer of the United States in trust for the First National Bank of New York, to enable the bank to re- celve additional Government deposits. The transaction was finally closed on June 2, 1904, all of said bonds having been returned to the company. ‘“‘As consideration for the loan of said bonds, the bank paid the company, $70,- 742.23, the company itself also meantime collecting directly and retaining as its own, all the interest the bonds by their terms bore, as the interest accrued, the bonds having continued meanwhile to ‘stand registered in the name of this company.”’ Officer’s Name Withheld. In other words, to get deposits of United States Government money, the First National Bank borrowed property belonging to the New York Life and put it into pawn with the Treasurer of the United States to secure money ad- vanced. The affidavit made by Treas- urer Randolph does not disclose the identity of the officer of the New York Life who permitted this extraordinary arrangement to be made. The First National Bank is known in Wall street as J. Pierpont Morgan’s bank. Geo. W. Perkins, the partner of Mr. Morgan, at the time of this trans- action, was vice-president of the New York Life and chief director of all its financial operations. Geo. F. Baker is the presigent of the First National Bank and has intimate financial deal- ings with Mr. Morgan's firm. No hint of this First National Bank transaction was allowed to come out during the in- vestigation made by the Armstrong committee. The affidavit made by Mr. Randolph also deals with the loan to the Central National Bank of $700,000 of New York City bonds, owned by the New York Life. These bonds were loaned on Jan. 5, 1900, and returned four days later. Mr. Randolph says that when this transaction was made he was not treas- wd gh Fn York Life and that concerning its purpose was obtained from Officers of the bank. He declared that the bank did not taxation, but dove ynable it to avoid no the specific purpose — Ka Aone The Harriman Loan. Under divisional heads the report deals with the various Dhases of the life insurance company. In the section entitled ‘Interest and Rent Due and pete 0 pent @ curious disclosure i ; & the loan E. H.

This examination would not reveal § fraudulent voting of names legitimately on the poll- books, nor fraudulent registra. tion,eif such frauds existed. os % An immediate recount of the ballots | east in the municipal election of last April will follow the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant a writ to prevent Cir- cuit Judge Warwick M. Hough from en- tertaining jurisdiction and from making further orders in the contests brought by Judge John A. Talty and seven other Republican candidates of the April, 1905, election, against their successful Democratic opponents. The effect of the Supreme Court's de- cision, it is indicated. is to leave Judge Hough’s order standing, so that the| Board of Election Commissioners, to | which he was directed, may begin at! any time the recount and comparison of the returns. The costs of the pro- ccedings in the Supreme Court to obtain a writ of prohibition must be borne by Mayor Wells, who instituted them. The Court's opinion, written by Judge Gantt, came as a surprise to both sides to the contest, but all par- ties claim that they wil! be the bene- ficiaries of the ruling. .

KEEP QUEEN AWA Margherita of Italy May Post- pone Visit to United States. ACTIVE IN TWO CITIES

Secret Service Men Watch Pat- erson, N. J., and Spring- field, Ill. NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—The proposed Visit of the Queen Dowager Marghe- rita of Italy on an automobile trip to this country may possibly be deferred on account of certain anarchist meet- ings held recently in this and neigh- boring cities. It was learned from a man who is in touch with diplomatic circles in this country and in Europe, that as soon as the news of Queen Margherita’s proposed visit was published, activity was noticed in anarchistic societies in Paterson, N, J., and Springfield, 111. Information regarding the meetings held by these anarchists had been communicated to the Italian Consul in New York. So far as can ‘be learned the anarchists did not advo- cate any harsh measures against the Queen Dowager, but it was thought that a great quantity of offensive pamphlets might be scattered all over the country. The only grievance against Queen Margherita that the anarchists could nave is that she is the widow of King Humbert, who was not particularly loved by the anarchists. It may be said On authority that if the Queen Dowager should come to New York some of the best officers in the secret service of Italy will be sent here to assist the detectives in the pay of the Italian Consulate of New York. The Queen Dowager will come to New York incognito, if she comes this | spring, and her name on the passen- | Ser list will be Countess of Monca- _lieri. Moncalieri is a reyal castle | ‘near Turin, the birthplace of the ‘Jueen Dowager.

An anativus man the soldier is, An anxious man today; So much is under way. He doesn’t know which side to turn,

Joe Folk may want his service in The County soon, he thinks, While Uncle Sam may summon him To lick the savage Chinks,.

te MILITIA ATTENTION! — PREPARE FOR CHINA!

The blood of St. Louis militiamen is a-tingle because of a routine request from the War Department at Washing- ton that the commanders of all volun- teer organizations in Missouri send to Washington a report setting forth the fighting strength of the citizen soldiery. Privates in the ranks of local and State military organizations see in this request possible war, and they say that they are ready and eager to sail away for China to fight the Boxers. Adjutant-General De Armond has noti- fied the War Department that the militia now has the following strength: First regiment, St. Louis, 525; Second, |

Total, 2587. Few of the companies have more than 50 men, the number required in the regular army in times of peace. In case the militia should be called into service the companies would be recruited to 10 men each. The companies are fully equipped the same as companies in the regular army. The State now has full equipment for 3000 men. The last report made to the War De- partment aside from the report to be made on the recent request was made Dec. 31. Reports are requested and made seven or eight times a year.

SIX-SHOOTERS STOP WEDDING ——— eB Sons of Bride-Elect, Aged 70, Interfere at Texas Altar. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOUSTON, Tex., Feb. 27.—Eight six- shooters in the hands of the four sons of Mollie Bailey were effective today in stopping at the altar her marriage to Harmon Groves. The blushing bride-elect is 70 years old. and her sons say that the prospec- tive bridegroom, no older than they are, has long been attempting to marry her from mercenary motives. The sons have had their mother under constant sur- veillance, but today Groves outwitted them and succeeded in getting her away to a minister. The sons pursued, and before their display of arms the minister fled. Groves held his ground in the face of the guns, but he had to give up his promised bride. CITY PRIMARIES MAY 5.

Got A dyspepsia veteran who writes from one of England’s charming rural homes to tell how she won victory in her 20 years’ fight, naturally exults in her triumph over the coffee habit. “I feel it a duty to tell you,” she says, “how much good Postum Food Coffee has done me. I am not only grateful, but also desire to let others who may be suffering as I did. know of the delightful method by which I was relieved. “I had suffered for 20 years from dyspepsia, and the -giddiness that us- ually accompanies that painful ail- ment, and which frequently prostrated me. [I never drank much coffee, and cocoa and even milk were too strong for my impaired digestion, so 1 used tea, exclusively, till about a year ago, when I found in a package of Grape- Nuts the little book, ‘The Road to Wellville.’ | “After a careful reading of the book- let I was curious to try Postum Food Coffee, and sent to 66 Shoe Lane, Lon- don, for a package. I enjoyed it from the first, and at once gave up tea in its favor. “I began to feel better very soon. My giddiness left me after the first few days’ use of Postum, and my stomach became stronger so rapidly that it was not long till 1 was able (as I still am) to take milk and many other articles of food of which I wag formerly compelled to deny myself, ] have proved the truth of your state- ment that Postum ‘makes good, red blood.’ . “T have become very enthusiastic over the merits of your new table bey- erage, and during the past few months have conducted a Postum propaganda among my neighbors which has brought benefit to many, and I shall continue to tell my friends of the ‘better way’ in which I rejoice.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

He asserted that as had joined them, “let no man put them asunder.”’ “{ would rather spend my fortune teaching my children the principles of the gospel than leave it for them to quarrel over after my death. “God has put in my heart more love of father and mother than he has in the hearts of common man or men of the world.

AAILWAYS. FINED UNDER TRUST LAW Texas Penalizes Roads and Ex- press Companies for Stifling Competition. Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 27.—According to a decision of the Supreme Court, the Pa- cific. United States, the American and Weils-Fargo Express companies, and 30 of the principal railroads of the State will have to pay to this State $5,260,000 of penalty for alleged violations of ‘the anti-trust iaw, which forbids agreements or contracts in restraint of trade to stifle competition. It is laid down in this decision that the contract which the American Express Co. had with the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad to operate over its lines in Texas excluded all other express com- panies from operating over that road, and that the express company and rail- road company are both gullty of violat- ing the Texas anti-trust act and each shall pay to the State penalties at the rate of %0 a day from March 31, 13, and up to the time of the fiyal termina- tion of the suit. There are 48 other similar suits pend- ing in the court here and penalties are running against all of the defeniants. The case wili be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. it is expected that the effect cf this decision will be to drive all of the ex- press companies out of business in Tex- as. Ex-Gov. Hogg is already organizing an independent express company to take their places.

The second suit was assigned to Judge Douglas’ court, and transferred to Judge With- row’s court by consent of the two lat- ter judges. The agreement, exhibited at the first trial, was not mentioued at the second, as Hendel was not repre- sented.

HE LAXATIVE oF’ KNOWN QUALITY au There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual- ” ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting functions unnecessarily. ~ “=, \" 4 gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist- ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo- rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural One of the most exceptional of ) the remedies of known quality and exeellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti- pation and the many ills resulting thercfrom. Its active princi- ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for, what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known arsicle; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not kaow, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. : To the eredit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good wil) of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine—Syrup of Fi manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package. Price, b0¢. per bottle. One size only.

Africa, According to letters received by Dr. WJ McGee, director of the St. Louis Public Museum, Rev. H. Edmiston, the colored minister trom Alabama, whe Was taken over to Africa by Dr. S. P. Verner, the missionary, as a hostage for the African pygmies which Dr. Verner brought to the World’s Fair, fell in love with the niece of the King of Southern Congv, married her, and now retuses to accompany Dr. Verner back to this country. When Dr. Verner was selected by the Worlds Fair peuple to get the pygmies he said that it would be necessary to have a companion who would be left as a surety for the safety of the diminu- tive Atricans, Accordingly, Rev. H. Edmiston, who, goo90969 e-« "e+e quality Mohair Worsteds, bought at a large discount from . * . ’ Remy, Schmidt & Pleissner, one of America's larg- est importing concerns—permits this splendid bar- gain—every piece is of sterling quality and has that $1, the most expensive silks.

kaloosa, Ala., was askeu to make the trip. Mr. kdmiston accepied gladly, saying he aiways did have missionary inclinations. Dr. Verner got the pygmies and left the minister, who looked exceedingly worried. Several times during the World’s Fair Dr. Verner wondered how the poor Mr. Edmiston wag standing his exile. As soon as possible after the close of the Fair Dr. Verner bundled up the pysgmies and started for Africa to liberate the hostage. When Dr. Verner arrived in Congo, however, he found Mr. Kdmiston had aimost completely Africanized. He hardly recognized his former companion who sauntered out of a hut with the customary absence of unnecessary clothing. He was even more Surprised to see following Mr. Edmiston a dusky belle whose elaborate bracelets and earring acquainted Dr. Varner with the fact that she belonged to the royal family. Dr. Verner learned that Mr. Ed- miston had so well persuaded King Ndombe, who is the head of the Afri- cans of Southern Congo, of his worth that the King had given his niece to him in marriage and had welcomed him to the family- fold. -. .. es Bea That was a year ago. At that time Dr. Verner thought that the arrange- ment was simply the method used by Mr. Edmiston to pass the time of his exile. So he said nothing about it in his letters home, thinking that it wouid be rather embarrassing for Mr. Edmis- ton on his return to Alabama. Meantime Dr. Verner’s funds ran out and there followed letters to the Expo- sition company in which he asked for money. After several months of prep- aration for kis homeward journey and of vain persuasion of Mr. Edmiston to | give up the ways of the Africans, Dr. Verner has written home that he is} coming back without Mr. Edmiston, and | tells the story.

WHO LIGHTED FAI Henry Rustin, Designer of Mag- nificent St. Louis [lumina- tion, Passes Away.

End Comes at Florence, Neb.— Stricken Before Exposition ' Opened. Henry Rustin, who conceived and de- signed the general electric illumination of the World's Fair, is dead. Informa- tion was received Tuesday in St. Louis that he died Monday at Omaha from lung trouble. The diseases which caused his death developed before the pageant of light which he had planned had been com- pleted. He worked so hard as chief electrical and mechanical engineer of the Exposition that he broke down and was compelled to surrender his task other hands. The work was, however, carried out along the lines that he had planned. His physicians ordered him away from St. Louis. He went to Colorado and from there to Saranac Lake. N. Y.. to try the open-air cure. Then he went to his home in Omaha and later tried Arizona. It was not thought that he would be World's Fair illumination. his greatest achievement, but his health improved somewhat and his longing ito see the lights of the Exposition became _ so strong that he came back toward the close of the Fair and feasted his eye on the spectacle he had created. Teok Cold Dedication Day. The decline of Rustin’s health dated from dedication day. He contracted a severe cold. He was in an impaired physical condition, due to overwork. In spite of his cold he continued to work is hours out of 24, sleeping in a dormi- tory on the Fair grounds and exerting himself with might and main in the creation of the greatest electrical dis- play the world had seen. He had de- Signed the illumination of the Omaha und Buffalo expositions, and wanted the St. Louis illumination to be the crown- ing achievement of his life. Although de was only 35 the work done by him at three great ex- positions gave him a foremost place among American electrical and engi- neering experts. Ile not only designed the general illumiation fatures of the Fair, but had charge of the arrange- ments for the illumination of the build- ings and designed many of the effects for the Pike. He also @irected the in- stallation of the power planis, whied generated the’ electricity needed for lightin purposes. Che idea of having the tens of thou- sands of electric lights outline the dif- ferent buildings and appear to be a part of the architectural plan was his age manner in which it wes car out was a test , genius and skill. imony to his er his Sort visit to the r ar its close, he returned to gta Omaha, where his death occurred.

Through her devotion to three of her smaller schoolmates, Mamie Blackwell, % year-old daughter of Henry Blackwell of Market avenue, East St. Louis, came near losing her life in the blinding Snowstorm. After she had escorted the other children home from lost her own way. Floundering about in an immense snow drift, so numb from cold that she could not tell her name or where she lived, and so exhausted that she about to drop in the road, she was found three hours after she had started from Alta Sita School to go to her heme, five blocks away. YQ >) eI06 school - Tuesday she was still suffering from the effects of exposure and was under the care of a physician. On account of the storm Monday pu- nils were dismissed earlier than usual, at 2:15. All of the streets surrounding the school were almost impassable and in some places the drifts were 10 feet high. Voluntecered as Guide. There were not boys enough to look after all the children and three little girls had no escort, “I'l go with them,”’ said Mamie. With her three tiny charges she set out through the snow. At times she had to carry them one after another through the drifts. When she had seen the last of the three safe at home she had lost her own bearings. Her feet and hands were numb with cold and her strength was fast leaving her. The north wind cut the tender skin of her fact and a thousand needles pricked her ears. She had stopped, bewildered and ex- hausted, when a man came pushing his way through the snow. She could not tell him where she lived. Taking her in his arms he carried her three blocks to the home of Wal- ter Droit’ at 3300 Market avenue, where he left her and went on. his way, an unknown hero. his was just three hours after the child had left the school. When she did not arrive at home at the usual time searching parties were organ- ized to explore all of the drifts in the neighborhood of the school. It was nearly 7 p. m. when Mrs. Blackwell learned that a little lost girl was at the Droit home. After throwing her arms around her mother’s neck and kissing her, Ma- mie said wearily: J though I was going to die there, mamma. but I got the girls home, didn’t 1?” AS TO FRAUD ORDER.

Folk will take no action in St. Louis County at present, as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision that the St. Louis police have no authority to make arrests outside the city limits, This decision was handed down Mon- day. The court refused to issue an injunction asked by the Police Board to prevent Justice Stobie and Constable Fred Lenz of the county from prosecut- ing Capt. McNamee of the Mounted Po- lice District and other St. Louis police- men, who, under the Governor's orders, suppressed gambling at Delmar race- track, in the county, and also enforced the Sunday-closing law there. Several warrants were issued for Capt. McNa- mee, but he refused to submit to arrest pending the Supreme Court's decision. Gov. Folk declined to discuss the Su- preme Court's decision. He said to Post-Dispatch reporter at Jefferson City: “I shall do everything in my power to enforce the laws. It is of course al- ways easier for an executive offieer to find excuse for not suppressing outlawry than it is to find a way to do it. “I do not propose to have outlaws op- —— in this State without interference ; if I can help it, and shall, when occa- sion demands, use every power at my command to put a stop to it. Pardon for McNamee.

“For the present | shail assume that the officials of St. Louis County will do their duty. If they do not, then I shail do the best I can to uphold the dignity of the laws of the State. If there be doubts I should prefer to resolve them in favor of putting thugs and gamblers out of business than doing nothing through a timid fear. I have not much reverence for the Sacredness of the rights of those engaged in lawlessness.’’ In regard to Capt. McNamee and ‘other police officers under arrest in St. ‘Touis County, it is known that if they ‘are convicted they will be pardoned by ‘telegraph by the Governor immediately. Judge Marshall of 'the Supreme Court ‘has handed down a minority opinion on i ® ‘behalf of Judge Valliant and himself. | Five Judges concurred in the minority lopinion denying an injunction. In the opinion of the majority of the ‘Court, as told in late editions of Mon- ‘day's Post-Dispatch, the metropolitan police force was created for the city of St. Louis, and is, in fact, as well as in naine, a municipal police department, having the right to act only within the city limits of St. Louis. Judge Fox delivered this opinion, which is concurred in by Judges Gantt, Purgess, Brace and Lamm. Justice Stonie said Tuesday that he would summon Capt. McNamee for trial on the charges of unlawfully in- terferine with the authorities of St. outs County—charges which nreferred against the Mounted trict Captain last summer. Says He Will Keep Order. Prosecuting Attorney R. L. Johnston said to a Post-Dispatch reporter at Clayton Tuesday: ‘‘We have always resented the send- ing of the metropolitan police to patrol the county. The people will see that law and order are better preserved un- der the control of the county authori- ties,”’ Asked if racing in the county would be permitted this spring and summer, i Mr. Johnston said: ‘‘Races can be run, | but books on the races will not be made 'so long as I am Prosecuting Attorney , and a law is on the statute books for- ' bidding bookmaking.’’ FIGHT FOR FORTUNE.

POLICEMAN IM GIRL SLAVE'S PLOT TO KILL? Members of Vice Squad Under | Fire in Bertha Slaiche’s Trial, OFFICER ON THE STAND A

Swears He and Morton Held Gerderon While Gir] Shot Him, By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, — NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—In Part I of the Supreme Court, before Judge Ver- non M. Davis, Bertha Claiche is on irial for the killing of Emile Gerderon vn the evening of July 8, 1905. A greater part of the day was spent in showing. by the testimony of phyasi- | clans, that the French roue was really Killed; that he was taken to the Morgue; that an autopsy was pes-. formed, that three bullets fired by Bep- tha Claiche were taken from his body, and that one of them caused his death, But fur transcending these things in general import is the shocking position occupied by various members of the killing, which was brought out on the cross exarnination of a plain-clothes man, Clarence Martineau, by ex-Judge Rosalsky and Abraham Levy, counsel for the defense, In his testimony Martineau tmplicat- ed his fellow officer, Harry Morton. tle intimated that Morton was on terms of intimate friendship with the Claiche girl. He said that he had heard, after the killing of Gerderon, that it had been planned by Morton. He learned that no warrant had been issued for Gtrderon’s arrest. Morton had merely stated that Gerderon was to be arrested for assault and vagrancy.

The State Supreme Court announced: four inter- esting decisions Monday. The most important was the decision that wit- nesses in the Standard Oil case must answer ques- tions concerning the ownership of stock. As the New York Court intimated that it would follow the decision of the Missouri Court in determining wheth- er or not Hl. H. Rogers would be compelled to answer Attorney-General Hadley’s questions, this will enable the Attorney-General to get the information he wants about the ownership of stock in oil compa- nies alleged to be controlled by Standard Oil men. It removes the last subterfuge of the Standard Oil monopolists and is a signal victory for law. The decision that the police of the city cannot be used in the county will probably result in emphasiz- ing the Sunday law farce. With the lid on in St. Louis because the Governor controls the police, and off across the boundary line in the county, where the overwhelming sentiment of the people against Sun- day closing controls the county officers, we shall have a conspicuous example of the futility of trying to regulate the personal conduct of the people in matters not in themselves criminal. The situation

in the State With the Sunday closing laws enforced in one locality ard neglected in another, should con- vince the Legislature of the wisdom of letting the people of each city or county decide whether or not they want Sunday closing. The Legislature should at least Jegalize local option. . There will be general approval of the bidtion that Col. Kiely must be permitted to have counsel in his trial before the Police Board. To give the sus- pended Chief of Police every possible opportunity to meet any charge brought against him makes for justice. In sustaining Cirenit Judge Hough’s order for the opening of the ballot boxes in the municipal elec- tion the Supreme Court has at least assured a re- count of the ballots in contests where there is reason to believe fraud was committed. Whether this will lead to a thorough revision which will uncover frauds of all kinds remains to be seen. > >a rT! Now that King Edward has a “lift” for his “lug-

This is, of course, due to the fact that in America there is no class of leisured men.” Lady Violet has divined the cause of more than Women are thrown on their own re- and have learned the lesson of self-reliance. And - because of this they are becoming more alert, more apt. more at one with themselves.

And if she lacks man’s good sense to solve her problems, she ‘muddiles through them with her own wits. _ All of which goes to prove that the sum of the world’s practical wisdom has been increased by the conditions which have compelled women to support “+- themselves, materially, intellectually, socially and am | aes By ita a P ef = i aed 7 $ . ney a ir “4 a 4 OLD FAIR GROUNDS AS A PARK In a letter to the Post-Dispatch Mr. Robert H. McMath says that the proposed sale of the old Fair Grounds on Grand avenue “is a tunity for the city to secure another park.” This suggestion, which, by the way, was advanced

splendid oppor- in these columns several years ago, should be con- sidered, and if it is possible, the opportunity should be improved. : The Fair Grounds is, in fact, a park half made, with many features already provided. The cost of improving it would not be so great as if the entire work were to be done from the beginning. We can’t have too many parks if we are to realize the ideal of a model city. The Fair Grounds are situated favorably with reference to the needs of the population. The project should be crystallized at once. oo Meanwhile, the trusts continue to drive out com- petition.

THE CITY UNIVERSITY. It is true, as Mr. Robert S. Brookings said in his address to the Washington Univ ersity alumni, that a university in a great city does a work which can- not be done by the university located in a .small town. It has advantages for its schools of law and medicine which a small town cannot offer, and it offers opportunities for education to the poor young men of the great city which they would otherwise It is gratifying to know that a wise

not have. | provision for relieving poor young men of expenses which would prevent them’ from getting an~educa-» tion elsewhere enables such young men to the num- ber of one-third of the total enrollment to get a The city a’ apf brie Pr plements ‘the public schools. #. Mr: Brookings also directed attention to Rt ad- vantages of the increase of wealth and to the gTow- ing sense of its obligations. It is true that there is an increase in luxury in college life on the part of wealthy young men, but the great endowments which have been given the universities afford educa- tional opportunities for poor young men. It can be said with truth that no young man in this coun- try need be deprived of a college education on ac- count of his poverty. The scholarships and the many ways by which a student can make his ex- penses enable the young man of ambition to get the fullest possible educational advantages. It is. gratifying to know that the future of Wash- ington University is assured. It is an institution of great value to the city. St. Louisans of means should see that it lacks nothing in educational equipment and in endowments which will increase ‘ts usefulness to the youth of the city and its sur- rounding territory. university education.

— $e AN UNWISE PROPOSITION. From today’s New York World. Some native of Missouri has coerced Represenla- tive Lloyd into hurling at Congress a bill to limit in- dividual wealth to $10,000,000. And this foe of the commion--does he come out into the open and face the wrath of the multitude? Not he. Full well he renlizes that Pittsburg’s horde of open-handed mil- liouaires consider his proposition an outrage. Should the bill pass actresses would decide that the game is not worth the candle. and the entertainment of the masves would suffer. Ten millions! The Schwabs and Clarkes, with their palace-building vaudeville, could do little amusing on that amount. Are the people to submit to such cur- tailment of their gayety? Never! Down with the Missourian and his deep-laid plot! Why, he would scarcely leave us the healthful exer- cise of dodging a 60-mile-an-hour automobile. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE | DURING RUSH HOURS. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The soluticn of the street-car problem can he brought about in this manner: Why not do as the management of the Buffalo lines did during the Ex- position in that city? Their cars are equipped with four 72-horsepower motors. At times they had five trailers to a motor. St. Louis motors are equippel with four 50-horsepower motors. Why not, during the rush morning and evening, add at least. one trailer to every thira motor, in order to facilitate the movement of passengers? This can be done now without the least trouble, owing to the geet loop system in this city. As a railroad man, I know the company is dcing all it can for the pap so dese of the service, but I — ana * see the wi dom oi my suggestion. PERIENCE. OLD FAIR GROUNDS FOR A PARK. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. >t have noticed through the medium of your paper that the Olc Fair Grounds on Grand avenue are to be cut up and sold in bullding lots. It seems to me, and also to those to whom I have spoken about this metter, that this is a splendid opportunity. for the bape to secure another park. and that it would be shame to permit this preetaias spot to be de- a grand opportunity for before the public secure an everia monument to your devo- te the welfare

CHIVALRY AND WOMEN CRIMINALS Crisp Comment Written for the Post-Dispatch

By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

STORY is told of a

A man who murdered his father and mother and when tried appealed to court for mercy on the plea that he was an orphan. This is supposed to be humor of a grotesque sort But a year ago the spectacle was presented to us of a de- graded woman on trial fo: her life making capital out of the daily presence i court of a white-haired fath- er bowed to earth by he shame. And today another wilted lily exploits similarly a mother’s love that the blind eyes of justice may drop ab- solving tears into the black ooze of the underworld. That one of these women is free, that the other will be, doesn’t matter. More good would be accomplished probably by letting them go absolutely unpun- ished than by the public contamination that must result from the general dis- cussion of their offenses and their lives. It is the masculine acceptance of femi- nine unaccountability for crime that is the disheartening feature of these trials of women with their sordid details, their gallery plays, their inevitable, slushy acquittal. Instead of being a triumph for wom- ankind that the only woman ever exe- cuted in New York was old and ugly and perfectly respectable and probably crazy, it is a sad commentary on the minds and motives of jurymen. Justice, according to settled symbolism, is a woman with calm, pale forehead and blind, patient eyes. But New York jus- tice, where women are con- cerned, is a little, round, red-faced man with one good eye for a ‘‘gow-goo"”’ and the other aripping tears of maudin sentiment on the Soiled linen of the bedraggled sisterhood. It is not the fact of ac- quittal, but the motive, the reason, in these cases that women quarrel with. We would probably acquit them ourselves. But why make them heroines of romance? Why have the fungi of- moral sub-cel- lars offered up in the guise of the tend- er buds of family affection to jurymen as boutonpnieres? When Nan Patterson -was on trial I like a great many other foolish wom- en, was wrought up to a state of hys- terical sympathy with her. I went ‘up to the court one day and recognized in onc of the jurymen a middle-ageqd man I had «ften seen dining with his wife in an uptown restaurant and who was noticeably impressed by any pretty woman that came in the room. Ags soon as I saw him I knew that “Nan.” with her round, white throat and baby-blue eyes, was perfectly safe. I never doubt. ed her ultimate freedom an instant. And, sure enough, he was one of the six who voted for her acquittal. It seems rather ungracious for women to clamor for justice when they are ac- corded chivalrous mercy. But chivalrv is so humiliating, and I believe I’a rath- er be hanged at the State's expense than acquitted at my own.

A FEW CHOICE STORIES

The Patriot’s Retort. Corporal James Tanner, commander- in-chief of the G. A. R., was condemn- ing those who appear to regard the na- tional uniform as a disgrace-—those who object to seeing non-commissioned sol- diers or sailors in the parquet of a theater or the restaurant of a fashion- able hotel, “Such people,” said the veteran, “make me think of a Recruiting Ser- geant whom I used to know in Rich- mondville—a true patriot. “This Sergeant, at the beginning of the Civil War, urged a rich man’s son to enlist. “ “Come on, Hank,’ he said earnestly. ‘Come on and join the —— New Yorks.’ “The rich man's son sneered. “Join the —— New Yorks?’ he cried. ‘Not I! I'd rather enter a lunatic asy- lum than the —— New Yorks.’ “*Well,’ said the Sergeant, ‘no doubt you'd feel more at home there.’ "’ Troubles of an Artist.

POST-DISPATCH GIRL WON $10 PRIZE OVER OTHER CHARACTERS

Miss Ida Welsh, 2231 Keokuk street, costumed most lavishly as a Post-Dis- patch girl, was awarded the Post-Dis- patch Funnyside prize 310 Monday night at the grand masquerade ball giv- en in Anchor Hall, Jefferson and Park avenues, by Cypress Grove No. 51, Ter- minal Camp, W. O. W. Competition for the prize was keen. It seemed as if every masked patron og the dance had figured that he or she would be the only one to brave the weather, and that the awarding of the prize would only be a matter of form. Consequently the hall was actually packed with Post-Dispatch characters. much to their individual dismay and tua the great delight of the Reception Com.- mittee. Anchor Hall was astily decorated with streamers of ‘green and crimson hearts, the music and floor were excel- lent, the refreshments toothsome and despite the snowdrifts encountered com- ing and going, the ball was a most grat- ifying success. or Among the contestants few attracted more general approval than Vincent Jablon of 1439 North Twenty-first street, who had been quick to grasp the possi- bilities of the Funnyside’s Father. Jabe lon’s gect-up would have been a delight to the artist that created the character. Mrs. F. M. Frederick, Miss Lilly Clark and Mrs. Lauretta Le Boeuf gave Miss Welsh a close race as Post-Dispvaich girls for first place. The latter was ac- companied by her 65-year-old daughter, who was dressed as a Post-Dispatch newsboy. Among the other contestants whose garb attracted marked attention were the following Post-Dispatch girls: Miss Ida Fitzenreider, Mrs. Blanch Profit, Miss Florence Murphy, Miss Anna Mey- ers and Miss Bessie Hoffman. Phyllis and her famous “‘Marriage Is a Fizzle’’ found favor with Miss Nertie Pourcellie, Mrs. Marie Niehaus, Lillian K. Ayers, Mrs. L. W. Dragon, H. Ly- man, Miss Leona Reed and Miss Leona Hawk. Joe Singer and his goat made a noise like Panhandle Pete. Other Prises Awarded. The prizes that were awarded by press Camp, open to all, were capiured by Mrs. Henry Deitz, aus the best dressed lady, and Charles Burnett, as the best Cy- ‘dressed gentleman, Charlies Saar, as Snoozer, took down a box of cigars, as the west comic gen- tleman, and Lillian Ayres, as Phyllis, Phyllis, Fanhaudle Pete and Siidian Were Also Represented— Five Balls Tonight Close the Season of Masquerades.

Lawson says that the petty crimes of the big insurance companies have been revealed and will be stopped: but that the larger stealing—by mil- lions and millions—has been made safer for the grafters than ever. The only remedy is “to place the company in the hands of men at the comin annual election who will find out how many dollars have been looted, and have them make complete restitution and punishment and after that, an honest organization.’’ If this is not done, he pre- dicts the insolvency of the “big three” within five years.

It would be hard to find a more ex- citing story in any novel of war times that this story by Carl Schurz. He has just left the university and {is on the eve of his flight from Germany to America. At the surrender of the Pala- tinate forces of the fortress of Rastatt, the Prussians, Schurz among them, who had joined the revolutionists, yielded themselves to the thought of death at the hands of their countrymen as in- evitable. No promise of immunity could be had from the conquerors and most of these men on the day of the occupa- tion gave themselves up unconditional- ly. As a matter of fact they were tried and put to death or else imprisoned. But Schurz, with all his life before him, was unwililing to sacrifice himself in this way. He had noticed, during the siege, the entrance to a sewer, under a With his serv- the tube, and bending over, walked for miles to the entrance, where they found their escape cut off by a Prussian picket. What they did in this emergen- cy, how they remained within hand- grasp of the enemy, and fought off Starvation until finally they got away from the town and across the Rhine, makes a stirring story, which one isn't likely to put down unfinished.

ithe Songsmith By Ottilie A. Liijencraniz. The old tower at Newport, be- heved to have been built by the Vikings, and commemorated in Longfellow’s poem ‘‘The Skele- ton in Armor,’’ has furnished the cue for this romance of the Norse occupation of America. The tale is flushed with pas- sion and great deeds, and pre- sents a new atmosphere where stirring fact and mystie legend meet. The author, whose ‘‘ Thrall of Lief the Lucky’’ is widely known, has again shown her skill in recreating the life and times of the Norsemen during their | years of daring adventure and world-famed exploits. The werewolf myth, in all its strange fascination, is_ inter- woven with the story with tell- ing dramatic effect. Altogether it is a spirited romance, with real novelty of interest.

Bernhardt’s Hard-to-Follow Advice on Studying fer the Stage. | WROTE, some time back, that there is no end to the work of studying for the stage, and it Is so,’ says Sara Bernhardt in the March Success. “There :s much to learn, and many, many books must be read. The student Should read first, of course, the dra- matists of his own language, then those of other countries. Always he should read with understanding and with the object of learning something. Super- ficial reading of anything that is not in itself superficial is a waste of time. A dramatic student must study as she reads, must learn the history of every country in order to be abie to portray historical characters with accuracy, and must be conversant with the great literature of all lands in order fully to understand the thoughts and feel- ings of those she impersonates, “The wider the knowledge of the wom- an, the greater the ability of the ac- tress. If one has an aptitude for one of the arts or aciences, by all means she should study that art or science, To learn as much as possible of every- thing should be the chief aim of a dra- matic scholar, for all arts, all profes- sions, all trades, and all conditions of life have their bearing on the art ot

acting. There is no limit to the number and variety of the subjects th may be studied with advantage, and one never reaches a point where constant study ceases to be a necessity. “Purposely, I have avoided until now mentioning one thing that is extremely important. It is not a thing that can be studied; it i# not even something that can be defined. In the dramatic profession, however, it counts, possi- bly, more than in any other occupation. I have refrained from mentioning It until the last because I-desire to im- press it on my readers. “IT will put it in this way: “The microbe of success is personal

WERT STRIKE WRITES LETTER Another Convention of Mine Workers to Be Called for March 15. PLACE NOT YET CHOSEN

President, Writing to John Mitchell, Expresses Great Concern at Situation.

URGES FURTHER EFFORT Miners Will Meet Again and Operators Express Approval of the Plan.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—-As8 a result of the intervention for the second time in history, of President Roosevelt to bring about an agreement between coal min- ers and operators, another convention ‘of the United Mine Workers will be held March 15 in an effort to prevent the strike, which without another con- vention must take place April l. Pres- ident Reosevelt has written a letter to President John Mitchell of the Mine Werkers, on the situation. The letter is as ‘follows: The President's Letter. “White House, Washington, Feb. Sir: I note with very great concern the failure of your late convention on the joint interstate agreement to come to a basis of settlement on the bituminous mining scale of wages. You, in this business, have enjoyed a _e great in- dustrial peace for many years, thanks to the joint-trade agreement’ that has resulted in the action of your successive conventicns. “A strike such as is threatened on April 1 is a menace to the peace and general welfare of the country. I urge you to make a further effort to avojd such a calamity. “You and Mr. Robbins are joint chair- men of the Trade Agreement Committee of the National Civic Federation, and it seems to me that this imposes additional duty upon you both, and gives an ad- ditienal reason why each of you should join in making a further effort. Very respectfully . “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” This letter was made public by Mitch- ell after a long conference with Francis L. Robbins, president of the Pittsburg Coal Co., and chairman of the bitumin- cus operators, who came to New York this morning. Alse present at the conference were W. Cc. Perry of the Southwestern Coal Association and B. F. Bush, represent- ing the soft-coal interests allied with the Gould railroads. The conference did not adjourn until nearly 8 o'clock tonight, when Mr. 24.— of President Roosevelt’s letter it both by himself and the op- that the National Convention aheaa be called. . The miners were in session recently at Indianapolis, but failed to reach an ‘agreement. with the operators. Presi- -dent Mitchell himself has been quoted ‘as saying that so far as he knew there strike in the bi- ngs Details Vet Undetermined. Mitchell has not announced any de- tails of today’s conference, nor did he say just when the call for the conven- ‘tion, which will fix the place of meet- ing, will be sent out, March 15, he believes, is the earliest pante the convention can be summoned, end. ne. eaieves that if there is to be ee ee

neace, the two weeks between the date fixed for the miners’ assembly and April . when the present agreement with the Bio expires, is sufficient time to bring about the desired result. Mitchell would not indicate what new propositions will be placed before the miners, but significance is attached to his statement that the operators at to- day’s conference agreed that the con- vention should be called. Concessions, maybe, on both sides will be offeerd, and President Roosevelt’s interest in the situation will be held as an additional reason for bringing about a new agreement. OPERATORS DENY THEY OFFER WAGE INCREASE. Randolph Smith, president of the Il- linois Coal Operators’ Association, de- nies the assertion made by Vice-Presi- dent Lewis of the United Mine Work- ers that the operators have consented to grant an advance of 5.5 per cent in miners’ wages as a compromise from the 12.5 per cent asked by the miners. “As president of the Illinois Coal Qperators’ Association,’’ he says, “T can state positively that neither our asso- ciation and executive board, nor its of- ficers have made any overtures to the miners’ organiation. No proposition can be submitted unless it comes from the association. The statement made by Mr. Lewis is evidently a shrewd and diplomatic trick, and is intended to prevent large consumers from laying in a supply of coal, believing that there- by a scearcity of coal will be created on April 1, and thus compelling the opera- tors to settle. “The statement of Mr. Lewis is at variance with that made by Mr. John Mitchell, president of the National United Mine Workers; Mr. Frank L. Robbins of Pittsburg and Mr. Colsen of Indiana, president of the Coal Operators’ Association of that State, have denied emphatically the statement made by Mr. Lewis, that the operators have made any overtures to the miners. ‘*T can verify the statements of these gentlemen so far as Illinois is con- cerned.”’ WEATHER INDICATIONS.

ARES! BIG MEN FOR MILLING DEER Game Warden, Disguised Hunter, Got Evidence in New Madrid. as

KILL DEER IN _ DRIVE

‘Venison Served at Hotels and Does Shot Contrary to Law. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW MADRID, Mo., Feb. 26.—Dis- guised as a hunter and mingling with the hunters in their camps, Deputy Game Warden E. C. Higgins of War- 1rensburg has gathered evidence of vio- lation of the Walmsley game law against a number of prominent citizens of New Madrid County. Information was filed today by Prosecuting Attor- ney.I.. S. Rutledge against 14 prominent citizens for killing deer out of season, on the evidence gathered by Higgins. Higgins spent two weeks in the swamps of New Madrid County in and around Parma, Gideon and Clarkton. At Paw Paw, Deputy Higgins found a party of five which had made a drive, cra eight does. The law pro- hibits the killing of does at any season o{ the year. The deer were hemmed in in the swamp on the ice and were killed uninercifully, as they were heipless. At Parma a prominent citizen was found with live deer in his possession, which were confiscated and turned loose in the swamps, as provided by law. Venison Alias Young Veal. In cold storage a quantity of dressed deer meat was found on sale and being served in the hotels as young veal. This is the first arrest in this county under the Walmsley game law, and it has caused considerable excitement. New Madrid County has always been: considered the hunters’ paradise, as, hunters would come here from all. over the State, as well as from Illinois, kill- ing and slaughtering the game unmerci- fully. Old hunters who have hunted in the swamps for a quarter of a century are loud in their praise of the enforcement | of the law as to killing deer out of, season. |

MILLIONAIRE’ SOK LEARNING POLITCS Theron Catlin of Vandeventer Place Becomes Ward Lead- er’s Pupil.

NOT AFTER HIGH HONORS

Candidacy for Congress His Tutor’s Joke, He Mod- estly Says. Theron Catlin of 19 Vandeventer place, son of a niillionaire father, is going to learn the game of politics. H. C. Gren- ner, committeeman from the Twenty- first Ward, and workers under him, are to be Mr. Catlin’s teachers. him, are to be Mr. Catlin’s teachers. At the first political meeting Mr. Cat- lin ever attended, three weeks ago, he was chosen a precinct committeeman, and on the heels of that honor was ‘‘mentioned’’ as a candidate for Con- gress in the Eleventh District. Mr. Grenner—in fun, Mr. Catlin says—made the announcement of his candidacy, but Mr. Catlin is taking the trouble to deny any intention of running for the office. The welfare of the Republican party, Mr. Catlin believes, can be left to his older neighbors in Vandeyenter place— R. C. Kereus and Thomas K. Niedring- haus. He is willing, he says, to do what he can for the Republican inter- ests, short of running for Congress. “Tt want to learn politics, and I have takon some part in the preliminaries of the campaign.” he said to a Post-Dis- putch ‘reporter, “‘but I am not vain enough to attempt the big step from private life to congressional honors. I want to start at the bottom. Member- ship in the House of Delegates or City Council would be more than my experi- ence or my services now would war- rant. 1 am just a precinct committee- mat. with a wish to learn the game of olitics—in a good sense—and do what i ean for the success of my party. ‘“T have told Mr. Grenner of my wish, and he made the announcement of my candidacy for Congress just to intro- duce me, as it were. “YT am sure Mr. Grenner was not se- rious when he told the public of my probable selection as the nominee in the Eleventh District, and I am sure ] didn't father that idea. ‘All my friends have been joking about that story. They have been ask ing me why I didn’t take a few of the intermediate places between private life and a seat in Congress. That's a nat- ural query. I’ have asked myself the same, and I have answered that I don't believe it would be good form for me to ask any thing now. ‘? haven’t even made a speech at a meeting yet, and Congressmen are ex- pected to be orators. Really, don’t you know, this talk of Congress for me or me for Congress is a joke. That is, just at this time. When I have learned more of politics, maybe I might take or seek a nomination. And, then, again, perhaps when I krow more of the game 1 shouldn't want a nomination.’ Mr. Catlin is a graduate of Harvard University and Harvard Law School. He took his law degree in 1899, and has been practicing his profession at inter- vals since. He is an athlete of some reputation, and has taken large part in the most exclusive social life of St. Louis since returi.ing from coilege. Mr. Catlin was Mrs. Longworth’s es- cort when, as Miss Alice Roosevelt, she visited his sister, Miss Irene Catlin, in St. Louis during the World’s Fair. ROCKEFELLER 13 BURNED IN tFFIGY > 4

Cleveland Germans Consign Standard Magnates to Burn- ing Oil Vats. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 27.—John R. Rockefeller and other Standard Oil magnates were thrown into a burning vat of oil and later consigned to the fires of Hades last night at Germania Hall. This occurred. during the present- ation of Dante’s ‘Inferno’ by the Ger- mania Turnverein Society. Bald and walking infirmly, E. Doerschner, who impersonated Rocke- feller, was cast into the vat by Satan, represented by C. F. Wetzel. The mag- nates were then thrown into a seeth- ing furnace. The Darktown fire brigade entered with seltzer siphons and extin- guished the flames after the magnates had been burned to a crisp. Six hun- dred .persons witnessed the play. In the play there were 100 members of the Turnverein. John D. Rockefeller | and the Standard Oil magnates were led forth by demons. Satan himself consigned them to the vats with little ceremony. At this the audience and inips laughed gleefully and much ap- plause followed. ‘After sufficient broil- ing Rockefeller was taken out and car- | ried to the furnace. When he _ was thrown into the furnace the Darktown Fire Brigade emptied 10 siphons of seltzer on his body. The curtain rolled down while the orchestra played “Near- er, My God, to Thee.”’ Phyllis Wins at. Waterloo. Phyllis. fired again, proved a winner at the annual mask ball given Satur- day night at Waterloo, Ill., by Monroe Lodge, Knights and Ladies of Honor. Mrs. Jacob Knapp was awarded the jadies’ comic prize. The sign on her back bore the legend ‘Marriage Is a Fizzle. Phyllis Looking for a Job.’ Several others represented the same popular Post-Dispatch character. The large number of maskers included many St. Louisans. No Sleep When This Goes By. If tirere’s a fire near your house and the Salvage Corps wagon comes, you’)) know it. The new alarm bells of the corps, cast in St. Louis, have a different tone from others, and are guaranteed to wake the soundest sleeper. At nigh’ they can ‘be heard a mile, and during the day they penetrate the roar of traf- fic on the busiest downtown streets for’ five or six blocks. They sound more like church bells than like the bells of the Fire Department.

Charles Hackenschmidt, the pleasant young man who was thrown so very easily by Frank Gotch in their wrestling match at the Crescent Rink Friday night,. was somewhat annoyed becausé the sporting editor of the Post-Dispatch could not take his effort against Gotch seriously. Hackenschmidt is a very de- cent fellow and a good wrestler in his class. Unfortunately for his ambitions, Gotch outclassed him in two most essential wrestling particulars, size and strength. Gotch is so much stronger than Hackenschmidt that he can ~—~ | Swede to secure any hold he wants and then break it by sheer strength. the other hand, when Gotch secures a vital hold on Hackenschmidt it is all over with him. I fully apprehend that it means a good deal to Hackenschmidt to classed with Gotch and a great loss of prestige and earning power to be de- clared without the champion's grade.
