The woman burglar with red hair and green-gray eyes who has foiled the po- lice and detectives of St. louis fo: months: is a prisoner in the Dayton Street Station. She was captured pb) Mrs. Anna Atkins of 3428 School stretg who intuitively recognized the intrude: in her home and chased her for more than a block into the arms of a police- man, When arrested the red-headed woman burglar gave the name of Helen Meyer, but later, at the station, she said her name was Minnie Dell. Her pal, who stood On watch outside Mrs. Atkins’ house, was not apprehended: The woman burglar went to the home of Mrs. Atkins Friday afternoon and rang the doorbell. There was no re- sponse, and she entered the house thinking no one was at home. Her pal stood on the opposite side of and kept watch to see that the woman burglar was not disturbed at her work. Mrs. Atkins, however, was at home. She was upstairs, and, hearing a sound as if someone walking, went down- stairs to investigate. Had Picked Up a Purse. Mrs. Atkins saw the intruder, who had picked up a purse that contained $3. The woman started for the door an@e@ Mrs. Atkins called out to her to stop. The woman darted out of the front door, dropping a silver dollar as she ran. Mrs. Atkins, without any hesitancy, followed her to the street, calling loud- ly for the police. Patrolman McLaugh- lin, who was in the neighborhvod, heard her cries and ran to the scene. He saw the woman fleeing and the other in pur- suit. He joined in the chase. When the woman burglar saw the of- ficer she darted into an alley and when she entered it she threw away the two paper dollars that she had taken from the purse. The policeman overtook her before she had reached the end of the alley, and placed her under arrst. She was taken to the police station where she was identified by Mrs. At- kins.

George R. Young, former cashier and chief clerk of the Postal Telegraph Co. in St. Louis, committed suicide Satur- Gay at the Washington House, Mount Holly, N. J., by swallowing prussic acid. Dispatches to the Post-Dispatch from Mount Holly state that Young was in charge of a constable, who had arrested | him on information from St. Louis, with the purpose of sending him back to this city to stand trial on a charge of em- bezzlement. 3 Young left St. Louis Jan. 19 last and has been a fugitive since. He returned to Palmyra, N. J., his home, Friday. He was recognized by the police and arrested. He was being taken to the County Jail when he requested that he be left alone in a room at the Washington House for a few moments. When he came out, he took a few breaths and fell déad. The St. Louis police were notified Saturday of Young’s arrest and prep- arations had been begun to bring him back, A requisition was drawn upon the Governor of New Jersey for the re- turn of Young, and a detective was to make the trip to New Jersey to bring him back.

That was the last heard of him until his arrest. Young was considered a gvod risk by those whom he approached for credit. Two large diamond rings, a suit and overcoat were secured by Young before his departure. The clothing was pur- chased in an Olive street store. He made a good impression on the tailor, after ordering the clothes, and he ten- dered a check for $65 in payment. The check was accepted without question. It was drawn on the Third National Bank, but was later. returned marked “No funds.”’ When the manager of the tailor shop reported the matter to the Postal Tel- egraph Co., he found that Young had heen missing since the night on which the check was issued. It also devel- eped that large amounts were due on ithe diamonds he had purchased. One of the companies with which Young dealt had requested him to re- turn a diamond ring valued at $189.

Chemist Accused cf Having Maintained Two Households for Years. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ELGIN, LiL, April 14.—Sensational de- velopments involving charges that a leading resident has long lived a double life had their denouement today in the arrest of Mrs. O. E. Enell, formerly Miss Viola Rowland. Another Mrs. O. E. Enell of Detroit caused the arrest. The Detroit woman also secured war- rants for the arrest of Eneil, who is a famed. chemist, in the enjoyment of a salary of $10.000 a year, and prominent in local affairs. After playing detective for four years, the Detroit woman asserts she at last found her suspicions verified that hers was not the only domestic establishment her husband maintained. The couple have seven children, and Mrs. Enell could not understand why her husband kept. away from the family for such long. periods. She declares in the last four years he h only spent four hours in his real home at 933 West Kirby street, Detroit. Mrs. Enell is 37 years old. The denouement took place here where Enell was found living with a handsome young woman in the Zeigler Flats on Chicago street. A lovely child, two and a half vears old, also was found. Warrants were secured by Mrs. Enell for the arrest of her husband, who man- aged to get away, leaving his second es- tablishment at the mercy of his wife. The woman who was formerly Miss Viola Rowland, is prostrated at the shock. : Einell, in the last two weeks, it is said, sent Mrs. Enell $700. This liberality only made the first Mrs. Enell more anxious to find out what kept her husband away from home and the more anxious to get him back. nsitise CRUISER'S GOOD TRIAL.

ROOSEVELT TO VELO TO KN OW RATE BILL President Said to Be Ready to, Make His Final Sur- render.

TALK WITH DEMOCRATS

Urges Simmons and Overman to Strengthen Opposiiton to Bailey,

| By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 14.—President Roosevelt is preparing to make a final Surrender on the rate bill. He is near- ing the point of accepting the Long amendment, as modified by Mr. Knox’s suggestions, that the right of appeal Shall include questions arising under the Statutes as well as under the consti- tution. With such a change the Hepburn: bill can speedily be passed by Republican votes, without any assistance from the Democrats. Secretary Taft and Attor- ney-General Moody agree that the Knox proposition would not injure the effi- ciency of the Hepburn Dill. Senators Simmons and Overman, both Democrats, went to the White House and the President strongly urged them to keep their associates from support- ing the Bailey amendment to prohibit cireult courts from granting rate in- junctions. He said he hoped the Demo- crats would not: give it such strength as to make it seem a minority sugges- tion. As a matter of fact, two-thirds of the Democrats oppose the Bailey amendment. ‘ Expect Action Monday. Senator Long again reported to the President that an agreement could be arranged on the basis of the Long amendment as modifitd by Mr. Knox. The President intimated that he would soon make up his mind on this point. It was immediately announced at the Senate that nothing need be expected in the way of rate developments. until Monday. This is construed as indicating that a final agreement between the Repub- lican factions is likely to be reached by them. Mr. Spooner has not yet delivered his reply to Senatir Bailey. It has been announced for four consecutive days that he would speak. Mr. Aldrich al- ways made the declaration, and even went so far one day as to say that the situation might be completely changed after Mr. Spooner had spoken. This daily announcement by Mr. AIl- drich is said to have greatly irritated Mr. Spooner and to have caused him to defer his speech. It is even said that after one of Mr. Aldrich’s announce- ments Mr. Spooner went down into the sub-basement.ap4_ vehemently asserted that ne man could boss him and dic-

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 14.—Miss Claire Hanna, niece of the late Senator Mark Hanna, and her cousin, Howard Mel- ville Hanna Jr., are stopping at the Hotel Gotham with their aunt, the Sen- ator’s widow, prior to a trip to Thom- asville, Ga., where they are going to be married at the home of the bride's fa- ther. They came from their homes in Cleveland last Monday. Only their rel- atives have known of their engage- ment. Miss Hanna is demure and 20 and the daughter of Leonard C. Hanna, a broth- er of the dead Senator. Her fiance is 29, handsome, and the son of Howard Melville Hanna, also a brother of the Senator. All their lives the cousins, who have lived within a few doors of each other in Cleveland, have been sweethearts. Their parents never took the love pro- testations of the two seriously until a few months ago, when Melville one day confided to his mother that it was “‘all fixed’’—they were to wed. Because of their relationship objections were raised. It was pointed out that the law of Ohio does not permit the marriage of cousins. “Then,” said Mr. Hanna, ‘‘we shall have to evade the law. We will get married in another State.”’ Miss Hanna's parents are expected at the Gotham today. ‘There is no longer any objection to the marriage. Mr. Hanna is associated with his fa- ther and uncle in the operation of the Hanna mines in various parts of the country. He is wealthy and has bought a house in Cleveland to which he will take his bride.

oe | | i i | LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE HAS THE COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see at a dinner given in honor of Maxim Gorky in New York, “freedom by force for Russia was pro- claimed by Mark Twain,” so my morning paper states, and that the ‘‘meeting took on the nature of .the formal launching of the American end of the revolution.”” Now I would like to know what Ameri- cans have to do with these disturbances in Russia? It is a very good‘rule for nations as well as individu- als not to meddle in matters not their own. Mark Twain is represented as saying in his speech at said dinner: “If we keep our hearts in this matter, Russia shall and will be free’’—bold words, but I would say to him as Jehoash said to Amaziah: ‘“‘Tarry at home, for why shouldst thou meddle to thy hurt?’ Don’t be too rash. If any American’s heart is so sur- charged with sympathy and desire for the freedom otf the oppressed, he should find ample exercise for it in the contemplation of our insular possessions, and need not waste his sympathies on the Socialists, anarchists, cutthroats and assassins the Russian Goyernment has been trying to stamp out. J. R. H. . MUSIC IN ST. LOUIS. To the Editor of the Post- ‘ The wonderful treats the Conried Opera Company Save us this week were greatly marred by the bad habits of the St. Louis audience. “It showed exactly that their love of music is entirely put on, or else they would not have made such barbaric noises during the overtures and the first half of the first act. Only about one-tenth of the audience was there in time, the others came in during overture and first act, chattering, noisy, greeting their friends and taking their seats with the greatest ease and leisure. The ushers were not any better; they slammed every seat down with the most possible noise, that way showing just as little sense as the audience. A person t can talk about Mr. So-and-So’s new hat and go to another person sitting two or three seats away from her, during a Lohengrin overture, is in the way of music a perfectly uneducated Indian, and ought not to appear at such occasions, where music- loving people get a recreation that will last them for months. But what can you expect from the general public if one of the leading musicians in town walks in in the middle of the first act of Faust, gayly greeting his many friends, down the full length of one aisle, finds out his is in the wrong one, returns and does that some performance in the next aisle? No wonder that opera directors in the East call St. Louis “the i

His New Tans. He bought a pair of new tan shoes. First time he put them on the ground They seemed to shine with varied hues For thirty miles or more around. Yes, everybody on the map Seemed. gazing at that pair of tans, And giving them a mental rap, As one a freak of nature scans. The noonday sun, to him, it seemed, Was not a marker to their sheen; They glared, they glistened and they gleamed, The brightest pair that e’er was seen. Four times their natural size were they— “Yea, forty times as large,”’ said he; They loomed up all the livelong day Like any lighthouse by the sea. Of course they really didn’t shine; Of course they were a decent fit: He only—as you may divine, They being new—imagined it.

Calling on Walter Williams. Walter Williams of the Columbia Mis- souri Herald rejoices that the telephone is being made to serve out in Missouri as a fire alarm. He relates that Mrs. Tabitha Sapp, living near Ashland, was called to her telephone upon a recent evening and was kindly informed by a neighbor one-half mile distant that the Sapp home was ablaze.. If Mrs. Sapp doubted it, she could call up some of her other neighbors. | The tip proved true, and the home was saved. While the erudite Columbian is upon the subject of fire alarms, is it not his opinion that they have been too long permitted to estrange the rural and met- ropolitan press of Missouri? It was one of the phenomena of the World’s Fair that a great many worthy people came in from the rural districts of Missouri and tried to mail letters iA fire-alarm boxes. Naturally, the metropolitan press took cognizance of it, doing in each case its plain duty of relating the fact and giving the name and county of the visitor. For this very innocent offense the city Paper has never been forgiven. Unfor- tunately, the country editor has always found the man who tried to mail the letter to be a representative citizen of his home community, and has never failed to resent the story as a reflection upon that community. Some of the rea! classics of country newspaper invective have been written in Missouri upon this subject. Instead of being a good fellow and meeting the representative citizen, upon his return home, with the village band and the local fire-fighting appar- atus, the country editor has chosen to Sapp | thunder against the city press. Mr. Williams might be able to effect a reconciliation. It was a Mttle thing to have divided a fraternity against itself.

She Has Trouble With a Conductor About Her Transfer. Written for the Post-Dispatch AND MR.— |

By Roy McCardell. bé HAD the awrfulest bers on their caps; and cabs | time this day, Mr. have numbers on them) ahd Nagg! I was Insulted policemen have numbers on by a street car conductor, grossly insulted, and there wasn’t a man on that car with the instinct of a gentle- man or the spirit of a mouse to thrash the ruffian as he deserved! “What could I do, Mr. Nagg! I am only a defense- less woman? And yet be-

/ their hats, and so have post- men, and so have firemen, and I know they are all im- pudent, and they all wear numbers on their hats and act like ruffians, and then run and borrow somebody else’s numbers, and nobody can find them out in their disguises!

cause I said a few words, just a few words, in a lady- like manner, telling that con- ductor what I thought of him, a dirty ruffian, all dressed up tike a cheap dan- dy, one of the conductor’s gang—don’t tell me they haven’t gangs—shouted ‘Shut up!’ “I want you to sit right down and complain .to the company, although I suppose if you do that boor of a con- ductor will be promoted and ‘have his salary raised! That’s what they do with them. So what’s the use to complain? But never call yourself a man, Mr. Nagg, if you do not assault that con- ductor the first time you meet him. He had on a blue uniform, worn thread- bare, and his trousers were not pressed, and his cap and overcoat were very dusty and his shoes were not polished. He was about the average height and seemed to be intimately acquainted with the motorman. No, I don’t know how he looked! I do not notice conductors, thank you! “What car was it? How do I know what car it was? I was so upset I never thought of looking at its number! But it was a large yellow car, and it bumped into a truck, and the motorman swore in the most horrible manner at the truckman and the truckman swore back at him till I had to put my hands over my ears! I know that both the motorman and the truck driver were married men, be- cause no single man has had the prarc- tice in swearing that they seemed 45 have. “Did I take the conductor’s number, you ask? What use would. there have ben in doing that? He would have traded numbers with some other con- ductor or maybe with a milkman, be- cause I notice a lot of milkmen are wearing blue uniforms and have num-

Ror ic Awpret.,

Anyway, I never can re- member unmbers unless I write them down, and when I do write them down you get me so nervous when you come home and start to quarrel that I forget what the num- bers are; whether it is the address of a friend or some one’s telephone or how many yards of carpet I need for the parlor, and I get so worked up trying to think what the numbers do mean that I just have to sit down and have a good cry! ‘Tf I get insulted by a ruffian of a conductor who won't give me a transfer because I have changed my mind and want to cross Grand avenue instead of Vandeventer, and ask him for a transfer at Garrison, do I have to be further punished by keeping & sum in mathe- matics in my head and then write them down correctly in a book? “Yes, Ido remember the number now. It was seven hundred and something— no, that Mrs. Gradley’s new address on King’s highway! Well, anyway, his num- ber had a three in it. Yes, I am sure it was a three; maybe it was a six turned upside down; I am sure I forget—but am I expected to be @ detective? “What line was it on? I think it was Olive street—no, it was 4 Broadway car; but I am not sure, because I was s0 confused! No, I do not remember what time it was! What difference does it make what time it was? A conductor ean be just as rude in the morning as late at night. I only know that he re- fused to give me & transfer at Garrison avenue. “The street railroads are just encour- | aging their conductors to rob passen- gers! It is an outrage!

Felix Boyd was not one of those gleuths who is always “looking for a white envelope,” nor did he continually “have his hand out.” He was a detective sans reproach and sans graft, and his work was ever shrewd and effective. He was no less a deducer than Sherlock Holmes, but he also had a large stock of knowledge of human na- ture to back him up. These stories have been collected in a volume under the name of “Below the Dead Line,” which was a certain district in New York, south of which no known criminal could venture without danger of instant arrest, and they make mighty interestin’ readin’.

Branch of St. Louis makes a valuable contribution to the date on record in regard to the disposal of city refuse. Mr. Branch is in favor of both reduction and incineration, unless the garbage is properly sorted before collection, for the simple reason that in such case both are necessary.. He asserts that only 23 per cent of a city’s refuse can be disposed of by reduction, which means cooking by superheated steam, the products being grease and fertilizer. The remaining 77 per cent of the refuse must be burned. In case a reduction plant is decided on it should be outside the city limits. “This because reduction creates a nuisance in a populated neigh- borhood. The incinerators, for burning up the dry refuse, may be located in the city, for convenience in hauling, as they do not produce foul odors. The House of Delegates Committee on Sanitary Affairs, which has just returned from a junket, reports that Cleveland conducts its garbage dis- posal at a profit, and recommends reduction rather than incineration. Mr. Branch describes the Cleveland method of reduction. The city paid $87,500 for the reduction plant, in 1905. Before that, the city had paid the contract- or for collecting and reducing the garbage $69,400 per annum.

ESE _ et mee TC ries ity a, — we ae Ce the city appropriated but $60,000 for garbage disposal, the byproducts of the reduction works netting the city about $5000 per month. This, however, is evidently only for the disposal of garbage proper. The dry refuse must be got rid of by itself, and Cleveland compels house- holders to separate the two waste products. This dry refuse, Mr. Branch shows, enables European cities to make such zood use of their waste mat- ter as to produce heat, light and power. With the householder compelled to separate garbage from other refuse, Mr. Branch is in favor of inciheration for all kinds of city refuse, and does not agree with the House Committee that Cleveland has solved the problem He says: “There is but one municipal reduction plant in operation in this country, being the one at Cleveland, O., and as to what success this city is having, it is sufficient to say that her sister city, Columbus, O., is now hav- ing estimates prepared for an incinerating plant, after having tried.the re- duction method.” Doctors differ here. According to Mr. Branch, 187 incinerators are in successful operation in Great Britain. He asserts that the reason these British cities have succeeded in ‘making incineration pay is because they are all built by high-class en- gineers, “while not one of the hundred of failures in this country was de- Signed or installed by an engineer of more than local reputation, with the one notable exception of W. F. Morse, whose ability as a sanitary engineer is universally recognized.” But we have been told that incineration, for city refuse in bulk, was a failure in America because our people dumped so much wet matter into their dustbins and receptacles. Mr. Branch insists that if the city should “col- lect all its refuse, including its ashes and combustible waste, as can be done by ordinance, there is not the slightest doubt but incineration will be a complete success, the same as in the above-named cities (of Europe and elsewhere) and at a cost not exceeding 15 cents per ton for its disposal, provided the waste heat is utilized.” The greater part of Mr. Branch’s book is taken up in showing how val- uable an asset this waste heat may be made to a city, and he leaves no question on this score. By properly constructed furnaces and boilers, he believes St. Louis could produce sufficient heat from its waste to pay the $40,000 which it costs annually for lighting the city’s offices and institu- tions. Here is something worth considering. y= ws ~-—_ A STRIKING NEW LIFE OF JOHN WESLEY. So great a man Was John Wesléy, the founder of Methodism, that any biography of him must perforce be interesting. Many books have been written concerning him and his marvelous work, but, with a few notable exceptions, they have been written by Methodists for Methodists. Most of them deal mainly with his work as a reformer, evangelist and organizer; with his plans, movements and utterances as a public character. These bi- ographers, or many of them, have seemed to forget that John Wesley is to be remembered not as a Methodist, but as a man; that he is not for one sect, but for all sections, and that his fame, as his parish was, is world- wide. Some of them, writing as hero-worshipers, have not disclosed to us the intimate relations of this great man to his fellow men, nor have they revealed to us those weaknesses and those mistakes of judgment which, being revealed, only make him appear the more intensely human. But all this and more has been done by C. T. Winchester, professor of English lit- erature in Wesleyan University. In this connection he says: “With that great religious movement of which Wesley was the leader I have the most hearty sympathy; but I have endeavored to consider his work without narrowing denominational lines, and have employed certain important phases of his character that have received comparatively little attention.” The chapter on ‘‘Wesley’s Private Life” is of absorbing interest. One does not associate readily the names of old Dr. Samuel Johnson and John Wesley, yet Johnson once said to Boswell: “I hate to meet John Wesley. The dog enchants me with his conversation, and then breaks away to go and see some old woman.” And again: “Wesley’s conversation is good, but he is never at leisure. He is always obliged to go at a certain hour. This is very disagreeable to a man who loves to fold his legs and have his talk out, as I do.” In the words of Prof. Winchester, *The simple fact is, Wesley had no time for society, hardly for friendship. His whole life was a noble monotony of labor.” The long chapter on “His Years of Success’— a period when, for 30 years, up to the time of his death, in his 89th year, he “exerted probably a greater influence than any other man in England’’— is so splendid a record of achievement that the very perusal of it should be an inspiration to any reader, of whatever faith. (The MacMillan Co.) dase sare v“ry SHORTCOMINGS IN MUNICIPAL CONTROL. Perhaps the best and fairest exposure of the shortcomings and faults in municipal ownership and control of industries is to be found in the book written by Hugo Richard Meyer, entitled “Municipal Ownership in Great Britain.”’ published by the MacMillan Company. The author is a professor of political economy in the University of Chicago, but is at present devoting himself to practical studies in municipal and governmental operations in the industrial field. The book bristles with facts and figures, marshalled for the purpose of proving that municipal and governmental interference has checked invent- iveness in Great Britain,’ prevented the normal and necessary growth of street railways, electric lighting and power distribution, discouraged pri- vate enterprise, contributed to the out-of-work problem by preventing the employment of thousands in enterprises that might have been created, given rise to a bureaucracy, perpetuated the overcrowding of cities, put Great Britain behind the United States in industrial development, and in general has been a retarding influence on the country’s growth. In support of these contentions, the writer states that the Tramways Act of 1870, which left the control of street railways in the hands of the municipalities, paralyzed street railway building. He shows that Glasgow, with a larger population than Boston, had in May, 1904, but one mile of street railway for each 6700 people, while Boston had one mile for each 2300 of population. These figures are convincing, as to the date given. But why does Prof. Meyer cite conditions in May, 1904? What are the facts today? His figures in regard to Glasgow street railway fares, showing that the graded fare, from one to nine cents, tends to overcrowding, are more convincing. Naturally if the workman. can go to and from work for one cent instead of nine cents, he will be disposed to do. go. But the lower fare only puts him about half a mile from his work, which may be in a congested district. If he had nothing but a level fare, he would be tempted to take a longer ride and so get away from the crowded section of the city. Prof. Meyer also condemns some of the British municipalities for run- ning the municipal tramways on @ basis of profit, in the interest of the taxpayers. He shows that this policy checks growth. Manchester, Leeds. Liverpool, Glasgow and other cities, instead of using the surplus earned in extending the tracks and equipment, contribute this surplus “in relief of the rates,” that is, put it in the taxpayers’ pockets, leaving the traveling pub- lic without adequate street car service. This is a serious fault. Another fault in municipal operation is the political meddling, which makes municipal authorities very slow in initiating necessary extensions and improvements. But the general effect on the reader's mind of the facts cited under this branch of the subject is to show that, in Great Britain more classes and more interests are active in attending toxthe business all maninipal operations. Unlike the people of American cities, the British citizen appears to be constantly busying himself with what is going on pr regard to his city’s workings. This, naturally, causes more friction and tends to slowness. The authorities are compelled to harmonize the various classes and interests, instead of going ahead under a blanket franchise and ignoring the public, as is the custom with American quasi-public corpor- ations. Books such as this are of great value, as showing in what respects b lic ownership and operation may be and should be improv ire Proved. They do not prove that the new system is a failure, but that it has grave faults. - If private operation and control of public facilities had no faults, we might b seriously alarmed by Prof. Meyer's showing.

MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUNDS |) Association Ojficial Makes.a Plea for Their Establishment Socialism in America. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. WO years ago I considered the question of Socialism from the very standpoint you suggest, with the delegates Switzerland had sent to the interparliamentary peace congress dur- ing the World's Fair. I must mention that from the four del- egates of that old and strong Republic, Switzerland, three were Socialists, and the: fourth, as known, was one and is one at heart. The conclusions we reached will serve as an answer to your ques- tions. Socialists are the up-to-date leaders in all efforts for progress in public and in private life, and therefore they are just as well in place in America as in any other country. They embrace morals, ethics, sociology, economics, in short, all questions of pub- lic and private life. The ground of political action is the conviction that the present political par- ties in America are not in the position on account of obligations to their past to fulfill the demands of the new time. First, Socialism grew out of the condi- tions of the past. The American of to- day does not consent to be governed by private interests or the trusts; Social- ism gives the remedies. We know that we are born equal and have our duties and obligations towards the State. Only the new party of Socialism can establish this American principle. You ask: “What would the Socialists do if they were in control of the Gov- ernment?” The Socialist will make for progress. Americans ‘must improve their private and public character by using the State as an institution for the peo- ple at large. Socialism will compel greater respect for the laws in existence and will rid the books of obsolete laws and bring up the law to the need of the time. Under Socialism, the opin- ion of the people will count, the mind of the people will be elevated and broad- ened, corruption will be eradicated. Property will be protected, but ill-got- ten wealth cannot exist. Taxation will be just. The danger of personal in- security must disappear, and the So- Clalists will not rest until every man is assured food, clothing and shelter. War will be regarded as foolishness and foolishness is a disease. Socialists work for sanitation and place the medical profession as the true helper in _ sor- rows and suffering above’ the lawyer, who protects only personal acquisitions. A Socialist is expected to have a high moral standing, higher, in fact, than the average political parties of today are asking for. Socialists come from that class of people who are not satis- fied with present conditions and work to improve them. But-more important than work is brain. Every Socialist is a thinker. He must be a thinker. Only by this fact can we understand the enormous growth of the number of So- cialists in America in late years. The Socialists have shown qualifications on many occasions, and they have shown proficiency wherever they had the chance to do so, as in San Francisco. Socialists, who gex their recruits from} thinking people, naturally favor pure food and oppose the abuse of alcohol and other bad outgrowths of hyperciviliza- tion. They have to have a sound mind in a sound body. But you may refer to similar efforts of the other parties. I have to say that this is true, but on account of the reasons given they can- not succeed, but the Socialists will sue- ceed, because they are physically strong- er and mentally more able and sound, to realize the ideals of our new time. In fact, by Socialism man acquires new ability, new powers. He is based on strong family and honest public life. Race suicide will be unknown to Social- ists, as they have a _ high natural re- gard for the rights of life and its obliga- tions. I think with my friends in Switzerland that there is no country in the world where Socialism will win as fast as the United States after -its value as a prac- tical remedy is recognized.

An Economic Development, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Socialism is not a theory Spun out of some man’s brain; it is the economic development that will follow capitalism, which now enables a few to own and control the means of production and dis- tribution to the injury of the human family. Socialism will place all the man’s production and distribution in the hands of all the people for the benefit of all the people. : As society is now organized, from one- half to two-thirds of the American peo- ple are engaged in useless employment, doing things to make a living, but by their work they do not add one iota to the wealth of the nation. If these people were employed in use- ful production it would follow that there would be produced more than double the wealth we now have each year, or the hours of labor would be decreased more than one-half what they are today. It is estimated that the improvement of all kinds of tools and machinery in the United States has so increased the productive power of man that if every able bodied man Over the age of 16 years and under the age of 50 years were to be employed in useful pursuits and were to work only the days alloted for em- ployment, leaving out all the holidays, these men alone could produce all the wealth we now produce and much more and they could do so working but from two to three hours per day. This adjustment of the world’s work would lift from the shoulders of toiling humanity the terrible struggle for ex- istence and free the minds of men and women from this grinding, debauching and nerve-wreeking race for a living, and give free play those higher and nobler qualities contained in every hu- man soul, which cry out for a change in our civilization. L. G. POPE. Dwight F. Davis, a member of the Public Baths expense. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. OR the past seven years. children’s F playgrounds have been maintained by two organizations, which have combined forces this year under the name of the 8t. Louis Playgrounds As- sociation. The playgrounds have been a tremen- dous success and have been called “the greatest preventives of juvenile crime in the city. The officers of tne association feel that this work snould be taken over by the city, as is done in all the large cities of the country, as it is a municipal and not a private duty. Here is a plan by which the city would be fairly well supplied with playgrounds for the present by the use of parts of five of the present parks as playgrounds and by the acquirement of three new parks under the bond issue. ° St. Louls has a splendid opportunity to lay out a complete playgrounds sys- tem at very little cost, compared to New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia, to mention only a few cities, which are spending millions for this purpose. In St. Louis there already exist a few small Darks in the downtown districts, parts of which could be used as play- grounds and made to serve a far greater use than they do at present, without interfering in any way with their utility as parks. Take Carr Park, for instance. While it is of great value to the people as a breathing spot, only a small part of its area can be used. The rest is covered with ‘‘Keep off the grass” signs. What is the result? I suppose that the total attendance at Carr Park per annum, is at the outside 80,000, while at the Mul- lanphy playground, although the popu- eee ee ee 46 Established 1780 a a ee ee ee ee it most active members of the St. Louis Playgrounds following to the Post-Dispatch in support of his belief charge of the playgrounds already established and By Dwight F.

ATHLETES INJURED ON SHIPROARD Hillman and Mitchell Sustain Severe Sprains and Con- tusions at Sea.

MENACES TEAM’S CHANCE

Unless the Men Recover in Time Americans May Be Beaten at Athens. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. .« Copyright, 1906, by the Press Pub. Co, (New York World.) BY ROBERT EDGREN. GIBRAILTAR, April 14.—Two members of the American athletic team, en route to Athens to compete in the Olympian games, were seriously injured by a great wave which struck the ship on April 4, one day after leaving New York. Four others sustained lesser injuries and are now practically well. Harry Hillman, the champion quar- ter-miler, and James 8. Mitchell, weight thrower, are the two who were badly hurt. Hillman is suffering from water on the knee as a result of the accident, and Mitchell is slowly recovering from a dislocated left shoulder. The others who were hurt are: H. W. Kerrigan, high jumper; Martin P. Sheridan, dis- cus thrower and allround athlete; Har- vey Cohn, distance runner, and F. A. Bornamann swimmer. Mitchell, the biggest man in the group, was lifted like «a chip and hurled 40 feet, landing with a thud against the guard rail and _ dislocating his left shoulder. Hillman was under the wind- lass and the water churned him against it, lacerating his knee and legs. Little Harvey Cohn was washed un- der the rail, and would have gone over- board had not Bornamann, the swim- mer, seized him by the legs and held to him. Bornamann had “his legs wrapped around a capstan bar and es- caped with only a few scratches. Kerrigan and Sheridan were buffeted about by the water, but managed to hold on to solid fixtures and got off with a few bruises on the arms and face. Unless Hillman and Mitchell are able to compete in the Olympic games the American team has little chance of car- rying off the championship. Both are entered in their special events and each holds a world’s record. They were re- lied upon to bring home first honors in - the weight-throwing, hurdling and run- ning events. Hillmaneis one of the cleverest hur- dlers ever produced in this country. He won the national quarter-mile champion- ship in 1903 and last year he established the world’s record for the 300-yard hur- | dle, his time being 45 seconds. Mitchel] is-one of the most consistent performers at the weights who ever competed. He threw the 5€-pound weight 28 feet 4 inches and tossed the same “weight 15 feet 6% inches hich. Sheridan is America’s champion all- round athlete and holds the record for discus throwing. BASEBALL BEGINS AT COUNTRY CLUE Bachelors and Benedicts Will Oppose One Another at Clayton. The Country Club will open its base-

‘Ddall season Saturday afternoon with a fame between the Bachelors and the Benedicts. This is one of the most im- portant games of the St. Louis County club's schedule and probably more in- terest is taken in the contest than any other game of the season, with tne pos- sible exception of the University Club game. Joe Wear, the former Yale play- er is responsible for the organization of both teams this year and he has includ- ed the best baseball players among the club’s mrembers in the line-ups. For the Benedicts, Harry Wallace, a member of the famous Yale team of ‘98, will twirl, with Harry Kauffman to rv- celve him. Tom Maffitt of handball fame will assume charge of the initial bag. Perry Francis, one of the fastest amateurs of the days of the old Vande- venter Places will line up at second; the redoubtable Joe Wear will be at short; Bert Walker, a skilled player will have a chance to show his speed at third: while, Dave Francis, Holliday Wear™-and Eugene Cuendet will take care of the garden. The Bachelors do not appear to be as strong as the Benedicts, although they will present a good battery in Charlie Gamble and Blackwell. The balance of the team will line-up as follows: Allen West, 2b; John Holliday, 1b; Jim Wear, ss; Arthur Wear, 3b; Griff MoRee, If; Hugh Jones, cf, and George Reynolds, rf.

Speaking of Jeffries, can the reader picture a 240-pound man entirely sSOV- erned by ‘a little woman? Mrs. Jeffries would rather have the big ex-champion broke and at home than for him to get hold of another big chunk of easy money and wander out into the world once more. Since the big fellow retired he has become as docile 4s @ donkey. He will come at the call and is tame enough to eat out of the hand when his better half chooses to call. That’s the way it should be, according to Mrs. Jim's way of thinking. Jeffries has been doing a little thinking ws vv that he will soon take the bit in his teeth and run out. He begins to tingle at the talk of fight and has his ear to ground for the battle call. One of the most strenuous points that the wife of the retired champion makes or rather seeks to impress upon him is _ that should he fight again that certain per- sons will attach the purse, and thereby hangs a tale. When the big fellow refereed the Hart-Root contest at Carson City, Nev., last summer he left the town with markers amounting to something like $6000 in the hands of certain gamblers. He had lost heavily at play and has never made good. He clajmed and his wife has insisted that he: was against

History tells of Roman and Spartan judges who sentenced their own sons to death, but North Alton has furnished the first man in history who had the moral courage to prevent an increase in his own salary. This hitherto untenanted niche in the hall of fame is now occupied by Mayor John Davis of North Alton. He doesn't covet riches; frenzied finance has no charms for him: if he can go down in history in the simple annals of the poor, he will be satisfied. Mayor Davis draws the princely sal- ary of $ a month. The City Councll thought it would be a compliment to him to increase the amount, and a bill was pp making the salary of the Mayor a month. But the Mayor vetoed the bill, saying that he did not believe his services were worth 80 much, and begged the Council not to pass the meas- ure Over his veto. The bill raising the pay, Of the five Councilmen from to $% a month, passed at the same time, the Mayor signed, saying he thought a Council- man ought to be worth at least $3 a month, especially if he had no other Visible means of support.

SUTTON JAKE >. -_ SCHAEFER Great American Billiard Ex- perts Will Cross Cues at New York This Afternoon. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 14.—Louis Cure, the French billiardist, last night went into his game with George Sutton, in the international championship tourna- ment at Madison Square Garden Con- cert Hall, with do-or-die determination. He did. After the most remarkable exhibition of skiH seen since the contest began, the big Frenchman defeated Sutton by a score of 500 points to 427, and did it in spite of the fact that Sutton made 168 in one session, which is the record run for the tournament. Willie Hoppe had beaten Ora Morning- star in the afternoon by 6500 points to 207, and the games seemingly were get- ting one-sided, but the play last night gave the tourney a firmer grip on life. in the first inning he made only one point, while Sutton made three. The fifth time up he ran 8% and followed it

|

three innings later with 100 more. At the end of the eleventh inning Cure had 371 points to Sutton’s 76, the largest ad- vantage attained by any of the players. The tide changed then and ranAinithe American's favor until, with a wonder- ful display of skill and patience, Sutton made the record run of the tourney, 168. This decreased Cure’s lead to 70 Sutton appeared to be trying to sce how many zeros he could make the spectators place on their scorecards. However, he suddenly changed his tac- tics and ran up 60 points. This placed him above the 400 mark and only il points behind Cure, but the latter set his teeth and secured 59 himself. Sut- ton made a desperate effort to run out on his next attempt, but could not make more than 19. Cure then had 22 to go, and, shrugging his shoulders, stepped up to the table and rolled them off like clockwork. There are few who have seen _ the games who do not believe that Cure first showed his real ability last night. He had shown spasmodic skill alJl along, but last night he commanded his best efforts. Hoppe’s defeat afternoon came of Morningstar in the in the bem i ga in- heir game. t was an easy om * oe hae young champion, and was little more than a hard practice for his game with George Slosson to- 4; ee watched last night’s game. He is anxious to wipe out his defeat at the hands of Hoppe in their recent match, and their game tonight should be the best of the tournament. This afternoon Sutton will play against Jacob Schaefer.

“TREASURY T0 GOTHAM BANK

- Allows It to Draw Gold Pend- ing Receipt of London Shipment, Gees WITHOUT A PRECEDENT Secretary Says $12,000,000 Has Been Distributed Under New Rule.

NEW YORK, April 14.—Announcement that Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has permitted the National City Bank to draw gold from the United States Treas- ury Department, pending the arrival here of gold engaged by this bank for import from London, was made today. The bank was allowed the use of this Government gold on depositing bonds sufficient tou cover the amount of the {m- port. ' Gold engaged by the National City Bank for importation from London “mounts to ever $10,000,000. The gold advanced by the Treasury Department, is to be returned by the bank immediately on receipt of the Eu- ropean gold. Shaw’s Explanation. Secretary Shaw. speaking of the ground for this action, which is a new move on the part of the Treasury De- partment, made the following statement in this city today: “The price of exchange having reached «a point where gold ought to have been imported, and believing the reason why it was not engaged to be the loss on its use during transit, the Sub-Treasury at New York was authorized on Thursday afternoon -to accept bonds available as security to savings banks and to in- erease the deposit of any national bank desiring to import gold to any amount not exceeding $5.000,000 to any one bank, the same to be returned immediately on the arrival of the gold.”’ On Friday the limit was removed, au- thorizing the acceptance of security and to increase the deposit to any amount when assured that the money would be immediately used in the engagement ot gold for shipment to the United States. Twelve million dollars have been thus distributed. In this way the banks will be able to iniport gold without losing its use dur- ing shipment. Formerly the banks were permitted to count in their reserve gold in transit. This rule has been changed and the new rule is now adopted of ad- vancing the money on proper security. to be returned immediately on the ar- rival of the gold.” An engagement of $5,000,000 gold in london for importation to the United States was announced today by the Na- tional City Bank. IMPORT $2,500,000

~~~ FROM LONDON BANK. LONDON, April 14.—Bullion to the amount of $2,540,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England today for shipment to the United States.

FRISCO FINED FOR “CLOSING A STREET Judge Tracy Assesses $50 on Each of Two Charges Against Railroad. The St. Louls & San Francisco Haiil- road Co. was fined $50 in each of two cases decided Saturday by Judge Tracy in. the City Hall Police Court. Judge Tracy handed down lengthy Written opinions itn both cases, In each instance counsel for the railway compa- ny gave notice of intention to appeal. If e higher courts sustain Judge Tracy's decision the railroad company will be subject to a fine in like amount for each day that it-has permitted such eonditions to exist since the filing of the suit last January. If the mefe assess- ment of a fine of $50 ended the matter, thé company could easily afford to pay the fine. Counsel who represented the city’s in- terests state that now that a precedent has been established the company bas laid itself liable to a fine of $100 per Gay for each and every day that it al- lows the depression to exist and permits freight cars to remain standing on the tracks in excess of five minutes. The Street Commissioner thinks the higher courte will uphold Judge Tracy, and the com be compelled to restore the grade of the street. ases were based on the obstruc- tion of Fyler avenue just west of Mc- Causiand avenue by the railroad.

Mark the perfect man.—Psalms 37, 37. The Police Board proposes to obey the above Biblical command and has made it more definite by ordering that captains shall mark all perfect police- men 100. Chief Kiely thought that 75 per cent represented the eearee™ ap- proach to perfection that any patrolman could make, and ag ag yore been made accordingly in the past. The eyes of the Police Commissioners were opened to the Kiely system oe Capt. O'Malley of the Deer Street “7 tion explained at Friday's meeting ate. Patrolman Thomas McCaffery's intel. gence, loyalty, deportment_and physica ability were rated each at 75 per cent. ‘ “If this patrolman deserves 4 ratin e only 75 per cent,” said .Vice-Presi en Maroney, ‘then some _ others who have been before this board should be rated at 0. McCaffery impresses this board as one of the most intelligent members of the force. ’ “Hiow Is his deportment?” “Excellent,” replied Capt. O Malley. “His record in that respect is also rat- ed at only 7 per cent,” said Mr. Ma- roney. ‘How is his loyalty? “As good as it can be.” a “That, too, is rated at 19 Iiow is his physical ability? Perfect.” Three-Fourths Good Enough. “Well, why is it, Captain, that if this officer is perfect, that he is rated at only 75 per cent; why is he not rated at 100?"’ per cent, “Some time ago the former Chief (meaning Kiely) called all the captains before him and told us never to rate a man above 75. He said that was enough for any policeman.” cee “Well, for goodness’ sake, Captain, said Mr. Maroney, ‘“‘in future please use your own judgment in such a matter. That system is ridiculous. If a man is entitled to a rating of 100, he snould be given it.’’ Mr. Maroney then instructed Acting Chief Gillaspy to rescind the 7d-per-cent order. McCaffery was charged with entering the saloon of John Gleason, Newstead and St. Louis avenues, March 26, and

assaulting Robert Redding of New- stead and Maffitt avenues. When the evidence was in the charges were dismissed without preince and Mr. Maroney then asked Capt. O’ Malley the questions which developed the statement that McCaffery was a per- fect policeman. Ex-Chief Kiely was questioned by a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday in regard to Capt. O'Malley's statement. “T have nothing to say,” replied the Chief. “I know nothing about it.” An hour later he called up the Four Courts pressroom over the. police tele- phone, and said: “The statement of Capt. O'Malley was foolish. I am the author of. the standard of classifidation which is now in vogue in the, Police Depart- ment, a printed copy of which you will find in the possession of Inspector Lally. That form provides for a 100 per cent average, which denoted per- fect; a 75 per cent average, which de- notes good, and a 50 per cent average, denoting bad. The qualifications are courage and efficiency, physical abil- ity, intelligence, sobriety. attentive- ness to duty, obedience and civility, morality, truthfulness, loyalty to swu- periors and neatness in dress. I nev- ér made the order Capt. O'Malley re- ferred to.” Capt. O'Malley was then questioned. “It was not a general order that the Chief gave,” said he. ‘Chief Kiely told the captains that he thought a 75 per cent average was good enough for any patrolman. That was the rea- 4 I rated McCaffery at 75 instead of 00.” Advice for “Leat’’ Policeman. Patrolman Herman Schrewe of the North Market Street Station, who was reported ‘“‘lost’’ last Monday while he was in a Turkish bath, was found guilty of absenting himself from duty, appearing in public without his uniform and failing to make a report when or- dered to do so. His punishment was fixed at a reprimand, which was ad- ministered by President Stewart in a fatherly manner. Policeman James J. McCarty of the Deer Street District, charged with fail- ing to patrol his beat. summoned three Saloon keepers as witnesses. The sa- loon keepers testified that McCarty had visited their places of ‘business, which are located on his beat, during the hour nel was charged with neglecting his uty. McCarty explained that he was at the relief corner a half hour ahead of time, as charged by Sergt. Quinlivan, by say- ing. that his watch was a half hour fast. McCarty was fined $25 and lectured by Preident Stewart. “You are being paid a salary of $90 & month to walk a beat, not to stand at the corner. When you discovered that you were a half hour ahead of time you should have made a round instead of remaining there,’ said Mr. Stewart. Former Patrolman James C. Maguire, who was dismissed from the force Feb. § for intoxication, gained nothing by having his case reopened. After hearing several witnesses whom he brought the board affirmed its former décision.

PLANS TO MAKE Inner and Outer Park Systoms Suggested by Civic League Committee. Plans calling tor a colossal inner and outer park system for St. Louis, involv- ing an immense outlay of money, have been completed by the City Beautiful Committee and have been referred to the Civic League for approval. The plans contemplate the purchase of new grounds for park purposes in the down- town district, and also in the outskirts of the city, and even in the suburbs. it is also planned to connect the in- ner chain of parks with a great boule- vard, having King’s highway as the western border, extending from the Ar- senal, in South St. Leuis, which the committee proposes to acquire, running west and skirting the northern side of Carondeiet Park, turning north into King’s highway, touching the western édge of Tower Grove Park and Shaw’s Garden and the eastern edge of Forest Park. In North St. Louis the boule- vard is to be given a curve that will carry it along the western side of ‘Falion Park and let it terminate on Kossuth avenue in the center of the old Fair Grounds, which the committee favors acquiring by purchase. Boulevard Downtown. The inner park system will have one boulevard that pierces the center of the business district of the city. This contemplates the use of West Pine and Lindell boulevards from King’s highway to Grand avenue, and Law- ton avenue and Chestnut street from Grand avenue to Twelfth street, and the City Hall Park. In the outer park system the plans are equally as attractive. It is pro- posed to buy Jefferson Barracks, south of the city limits, and let the boule- vard connecting the outer chain of parks begin at the northwestern cor- ner of the reservation. This boule- vard will practically follow the pres- ent city Imits, crossing and recross- ing the River des Peres in the south- west, passing the western boundary of Forest Park on Skinker road, and Washington University grounds on the west. The boulevard is to reach out in the county in the~ northwest, and turn northeasterly and connect with the boulevard for the inner park system on the Columbia Bottoms road and extend north to the present park at the Chain of Rocks. In addition to these extensive improve- ménts the City Beautiful Committee fa- vors reaching still further westward, and acquiring by purchase the famous Creve Coeur take resort and also Mera- mec Highlands. The boulevard system for the present is not intended to take in these resorts, but the committ2e fa- vors their purchase and wants them beautified and. improved, so ‘that the citizens may reach them by ‘the trolley cars.

When a marriage license was refused Saturday to Charles Granham, 26 years old, and pretty Pearl Bright, 15, both of Madison, Ill., Mrs. Panny Bright, the girl's mother, who had accompanied the couple to signify her consent to the match, expressed indignation. “I have had two daughters to obtain licenses in this office when they were under 16 years old,” she told License Clerk Caughlin of Bast St. Louis. “One of them has been married two years how, and the other three, and they are as happy as they can be. If I am will- ing for Pearl to marry, I can’t see why anyone else should interfere,” Clerk Caughlan carefully explainéd that the last Illinois Legislature passed a law prohibiting marriage in that State under 16 years of age. “It’s mighty queer,’ said Mrs. Bright, eyeing the clerk with suspicion. It isn’t queer at all,’ said Caughlan, beginning to lose his temper. “The Legislature doesn’t believe in robbing the cradle for the altar, that’s all.”’ “Don t get funny, young man,” said Mrs. Bright, and walked from the of- fice. Pearl wore a white dress which reach- ed just below her kness, and waited ouc- side in the corridor until after the license was refused. Then she entered and subjected the unhappy clerk to a fusillade of indignant glances from big blue eyes. She has yellow hair and is of slender figure.

“TOWNE Lins BRYAN: FLAYS TE PRESIDEN ‘ere oe

Close of Sisidoektin Editors’ Banquet Marked With Demonstration.

CENSURE FOR ROOSEVELT |

New Yorker Declared Executive Was Greatest Promiser Since Judas Iscariot.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 14.~Repre- sentative Charles A. Towne of New York, responding to a toast last night at the Jefferson Day banquet under the auspices of the Missouri Democratic editors, went outside his set speech to eulogize William J. Bryan and to bit- terly attack President Roosevelt. Both sentiments aroused the most intense en- thusiasm, reference to the Nebraskan ending in a demonstration that amount- ed to an uproar. Towne did not refer to Bryan by name. “Your toastmaster has put on me the duty of referring. to eur great standard bearer of 1896,’’ he said. ‘I feel almost ‘that he hin self in far-away India must be catching the enthusiasm of your homage tonight.”’ Towne then read from an editorial in which sympathy was offered to a Demo- cratic editor who was wont to write col- umns on imperialism and free silver. Why Panic Failed to Come. “I am as thankful as anyone that the money question has worked itself out so Satisfactorily,”” resumed Towne. “But I cannot accept in silence the popular version of why thé predicted panic that was to follow the adoption of the gold standard did not materialize... The pan- ic did not occur because since 1896 the country has produced enough gold to supply the money market without ma- terial increase in the silver output. We owe our prosperity to our advance, not to a policy: When men refused to open the mint God opened the mines.’’ a Towne attacked President Roose- velt. “I'm going to take you into my con- fidence this much,’’ said the. speaker, “by telling you that I am going back to Washington with the avowed purpose of exposing. President Rooseveit. He is the greatest promiser and the smallest performer since the days of Judas Isca- riot. He filched his rate legislation pro- gram from a national Democratic plat- form and has now laid down on his own bill; he sends for legislators and lec- tures them like boys. “Speaker Roosevelt’s Tool.” ‘*‘And his tools--consider them for a minute. They are a Speaker and a de- generate House. Nowadays there are three steps in national legislation—get- ting the permission of ‘Uncle Joe’ to in- troduce a bill and then securing its pas- sage in the House and the Senate. I get no show in the House. I might as well make a power of attorney io the Speaker and go back home and get to work. I wouldn’t stay in Congress or in the Democratic party if I did not be- lieve that Democracy will eventually triumph in national affairs.’’ It was far after midnight before the specchmaking was finished, and Mr. owne’s response was to one of the last toasts on the program.

MARKED MONEY BAIT FOR GUEST Theft of Diamond Ring Con- fessed After Scratched Quarters Are Taken. Marked money and invitation to din- ner were the principal elements in the arrest of Floyd E. Macluskey of 2934 Lawton avenue, who is a prisoner at the Manchester Avenue Station, charged with the theft of a diamond ring from the home of J. B. Sproot. . Macluskey admits his guilt and has told the police where he pawned the ring. Two weeks ago Mrs. Sproot missed her ring, and her husband blamed Ma- lusky. It was decided to test his hon- Several scratched quarters were left in conspicuous places through the house, and Macluskey was invited to dine. When he had eaten he stepped out to buy a cigar. In his absence it tran- spired that the marked money had gone. His arrest and confession fol- lowed. He is 20 years old. Belle of Nelson Whiskey, Bottled in and out of bond for sale at

Then I call- ed another physi- cian. Still he grew worse.
