CHICAGO, May 10.—The inquiry by the Government, through the Interstate Commerce Commission, into the rela- lions between the Standard Oil Co. and Who wants to be Police Commis- sioner? The job is open and Gov. Folk Is walt-

ing for somebody to speak up. The place pays $1000 a year and for this sum a commissioner has‘ nothing to do but worry and dodge things when they are thrown at him. Commissioner Maroney, vice-president of the board, announces with character- istic terseness that he is ‘‘down and out.”’ : He notified Gov. Folk Tuesday that he wanted to be relieved: from duty as a commissioner. He stated that his pri- vate financial affairs demanded that he be free to attend to his law practice. In effect his message to the Governor said: : “Holding «his place involves a sacri- fice which I am no longer able to make. I have reached the age where I must look after the interests of my family. I have given all of my time to police busi- ness since I have been in the board and I must get back to my law office or lose all of my clients. I want you to let me out. If you don't, I am going the railroads of the country began here today. Two of the points on which it is said the investigation wil| try to throw light are the laying of the pipe lines of the Standard Oil Co. along the railroads’ right-of-way and the purchase of Galena oil by the railroads for headlight and signal purpuses. The first witness was E. M. Wilhoit of Topeka, Kan., now an independent oil Operator, but 10 vears ago an agent of the Standard Oi! Co. He testified that while in the employ of the Standard Oil Co. he had, in fol- lowing out the instructions of his su- perior officers, bribed clerks in the of- fices of railroads and employes of inde- pendent oil’concerns in order to obtain information of the details of the busi- ness done by the rivals of the Standard Oil Co.

He said that the actual tests of the products of the Biandard Ol Co., to d- termine the quality, are carefully guar%- ed, and that when it was found neces- sary to cut the price to meet the figure of a competitor, a cheaper quality of ofl wags substituted and guaranteed to be of a higher crade than it realiy was.

Several letters were read by the wit- ness in which he was Instrueted to watch shipments in his territory and re- rt the names of every customer of the ndependent concerns and the amount and quality of oil received bv him.

CASE TO SUPREME COURT

Pattison Was to Be Declared Incapaciated and Temper- ance Laws Attacked.

Special to the Post-Diepatch. COLUMBUS, O., May 10.—The care- fully hatched conspiracy of the Ohio Liquor League to oust Gov. Pattison

from officc and turn it over to Andrew Harris, the Republican Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, came to naught today, when the Board of Penitentiary Managers sated the Democrat recently appointed by Pat- tison.

The conspirators weakened after the publication of their plans this morning, and gracefully backed down when Ed- ward W. Crayton, the newly appointed Manager, appeared with his commis- Sion. The board now becomes Demo- ; cratic and Warden Gould will be oust in favor of a Democrat. Gould has ha‘: the backing of the liquor interests and | is said to be owner of two saloons at! Wellston. The plan to oust Pattison and invalidate the liquor laws passed by | wma last Legislature was simplicity it- self. The penitentiary board was to refuse to recognize the commission of Crayton | on the grounds that Gov. Pattison did ' not personaily affix his signature. The case was then to be taken to the Su- preme Court, which is Repub ican in its complexion, Pattison declared incapaci- tated by his long illness, and Harris empowered to take charge until the Governor was able to resume office. Attack Temperance Laws. After a victory in this, the liquor

Claim was to be advanced that the, Governor was deranged during the major portion of the session. Lieutenant-Governor Harris, it is! stated, refused to enter into the con-| spiracy, and it was |. ropoged to man-! damus him should he refuse to take! charge of the governorship. The suits in all the moves had been: prepared by three noted lawyers of Columbus. It is said the suits wil] never be filed.

A man believed to be George W. Neer of Decatur, Ill., dropped dead in the tollet room of Cella Commission Co.'s brokerage offices at Fourth and Pine streets about 11:30 a. m. Thursday. It is said that apoplexy caused his death. Members of that the man the Cella company say was a stfanger in their establishment and had no _ business dealings with them. So far as they know, they say, he had never visited their place before. The man was taken to the City Dis- pensary by oPliceman Tom McCormack. He had been found on the floor in the toilet room, his body doubled up as if he had suffered great pain. In his pocket was found a letter with a St. Louis postmark, which read as follows: “My Dear Mr. Neer: Believe if it will be. .as convenient for you, will ask you to call Thursday evening about 8, in- stead of Tuesday. Poor Lizzie had a bad start out tu look for a job. I rode dewntown this morning. We _ heard that they had nice rooms at the Plaza, which is in the 3200 block on Locust street.

The dead man was apparently about 60 years old, with grayish sandy hair and mustache, was tall and heavy of figure, and was well dressed in a black coat, black and white striped trousers, a plaited-bosom white shirt, and wore a black derby hat. Lived on His Money. Miss Anna Thrashtr, a stenographer : in the employ of a commercial agency, was greatly shocked when she heard of Neer's death, She saw him Wednesday night and he was in the best of health. Miss Thrasher said to a Post-Dispatch reporttr Thursday: “Mr. Neer family.

NEW YORK, May 10.-—-E. H. Harri- man, who has just returned from San Francisco, advises New York men of money to go slow on financing San Francisco ayfairs. He has conferred with several leaders in money matters and today said: “San Francisco will be restored, not in a short time, but in a reasonable time. Everybody is trying to do what he can to help the situation out there. About ! finances—you can’t discuss a financial ' plan until you know what a fellow is: going to do with -the money when he, gets it.

They are not | waiting for the construction y- | scrapers or steel-frame business houses | before they begin over again, but are putting up temporary structures of cor- rugated iron or frame and s‘arting to do business right away.

Thomas K.

One such was the Sixth Pre- cinct of the Third Ward.” The precinct referred to is that in which “Jimmy’’ Miles was most active at last spring’s election.

E members of the court made the femainder of the journey to the Winter Palace in carriages, escorted by a troop of clattering horse guards. The Em- peror’s arrival was not heralded by the customary salute of 301 guns, and for that reason the passage of the river hardly attracted the notice of the thou- sands of spectators who were waiting along the islands in the river. Without: halting at the Winter Palace the launches crossed the river, and their ties landed under the grim walls gi aul fortress, ter terrace, driving hurriedly to the im- which cathedral ains of the Roma ch r se the remains o € man- 3.

As their Majesties, after their de- yotions, returned to the terrace and re-entered the launch, the faint echo of a cheer swept up the Neva.

For the first time since the cere- mony of blessing the waters, Jan, 9, 1905, when the Emperor escaped death from the charge of grape fired from a gun of the saluting battery on the oposite bank of the river, the Em- peror and Empress were back in the Russian capital.

Committees of Two Branches Consider Measure and House Holds Whip. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD. Ill.. May 10.—A joint conference committee, consisting of five senators and five representatives. began today to reconcile the differences exiat- ing between the two branches regarding the provisions of a primary election bill. The Senate committee consists of Campbell, Gardner, Berry, Chafee and rr. The House committee includes Speak- er Shurtleff, Trautmann, Shanahan, Rin- aker and one other. It is generally predicted that the bill finally agreed upon’ will be only a slight modification of the bill that has sed the House. The weeks of fighting in the lower branch has demonstrated the fact that a bill cannot be passed in any form other than:the general lines of the Shurtleff bill.

Louis Democratic Club and the Jefferson Club will work in harmony next fall to insure the election of the Selph of the former organization said to a Post- -Dispatch reporter Thursday. . “Neither the St. Louis Democratic : Club nor any of its members,’’ said Mr. Selph, “will engage in crimindations or 5, recriminations, as a result of last Sat- : urday’s primary election. f. “That contest is now history. The whole . thing was a family fight and is ended so ” far aS we are concerned. If there is to ; be harmony in the party all discussion must cease between alleged factions. “As to who are the victors will be clearly demonstrated at the two conven- tions seon to be held at Jefferson City : and Excelsior Springs. One fact is ap- oe parent, and that is if the factional and 3 personal bickerings within the party do F: not cease the Democratic ticket will go } down in defeat in the fall. The party ; should be harmonized at once if we are : to win a victory.”’ THIEF AT FOUR COURTS. ene ee | Police Sergeant Anton Loses % Night Stick and Cigars. Police Sergeant Peter Anton has been robbed. The robbery occurred at the Four Courts,’ but a few steps from the main office and when a dozen policemen were not more than 2 feet away. As a result of the robbery the Ser-/! geant is very angry, officially and others | wise, and some sneak thief is probably | carrying his beautiful rosewood ment stick and smoking some of his bes cigars. The robber opened the locker contain- ing the missing articles with a skeleton key. The locker is in the hallway only a few feet from the main office and the department is astonished at the bold- ness of the ‘thief. The affair was promptly reported to Capt. Reynolds, but no arrests have been made. ¥ COONSKINS FOR LAND. John Scholl Saw St. Louis Realty Sold Cheap. |

t WAS A FOOTPAD Accused Man Freed by Identifi- cation That Made Judge Laugh.

WITNESS VERY CERTAIN ee eee Insisted That Examining At- torney and His Client Were “Pals.” As an identifier, Joseph Funk, prose- euting witness against Guts Schultz, charged with robbery, failed to make a hit with the jury in. Judge Kinsey’s court Wednesday. afternoon, and as a consequence Schultz was acquitted. Funk, who lives at 1847 North Broad-

way, was choked and robbed by two men on Mullanphy” street . between Tenth and. Eleventh streets on the night of April 1, the robbers obtaining two Tings, a wateh and $1.50 In cash. Hie positively identified Schultz as the man who choked him. “Would you,be able to identify the man who searched your pockets while Schultz was choking you?’ asked At- torney Samuel Kohn, representing the defendant. “Yes, 1 believe | unk. “Am I the man?’ “Yes, I think you are,” replied the witness, looking at Kohn sharply. ‘Are you positive I’m the man?”?’ “Yes, I'm positive.’ “You think I'm the man that took vour rings from your fingers, do you?” would.” answered Yes, I'm aure of it.” o “And the watch from your pocket?” “Ves, you’re the man; I’m positive.’ “And the money?” “Yes; 1 can’t be mistaken. You're the man all right.’ Judge and Jury Laugh. The Judge and jury were laughing. Kohn said in a stage whisper that he could prove an-alibi and dismissed the witness. There was hardly any evidence for the jury to consider other than Funk’s identification, and after being out a few minutes it returned a verdict of “not guilty.”’ | A few months ago Kohn by doing a stunt with his face secured the ac- quittal of a defendant charged with burglary. After a mask had _ been Jaced over the lower portion of the efendant’s face and a hat pulled down over his eyes the prosecuting witress identifiei tiim as a man who ha robbed his home. During the noon re- cess Kohn had a barbe? @have off his mustache and later in court adjusted a mask to his face and pulled a hat over his eyes and after disguising his client in the same manner called on the prose- cuting witness to pick out the burglar. The witness picked out Kohn and the jury acquitted the defendant. ee

WILD WEST SHOW IN CITY STREETS East St. Louis Woman Aids in Capturing Steer That Invaded Yard.

INSISTED ON’. DAMAGES

Policeman Called and He Made Drover Settle With Mrs. Prendergast. Residents of North Sixth street, East St. Louls, witnessed a wild West show free of charge Wednesday afternoon in which 10 wild steers, one horse, a drover and his men and Mrs. R. Pendergast, 628 North Sixth street, participated. There was fence jumping and break- ing, stampeding, lassoing and a few other features not in. most shows. The only gate receipts were those col- lected by Mrs. Pendergast, assisted by Night Chief M. Doyle of the East St. Louis police force. view the excitement. The drover's men were driving street about 2 o'clock, when one of the number felt the call the lawn about Mra. home. fence. After stamping his dusty hoofs on the lawn he started to make further investigations and started along the wooden walk that extends to the rear garden. Lassoed in Yard. One of the drover’'s men made after him with a lasso and succeeded after considerable running in getting the rope about the steer’s horns. Mrs. Prender- gast ran to the man’s side and grasped the rope, which he relinquished to her. Meanwhile the other steers had also broken ranks and were running wildly up and down the _ streets frightening children and dogs into their homes. The owner of the steers rode up to Mrs. Pendergast’s gate and said, ‘I'll take my steer.”’ *“‘Not until you've paid for the damage he has done,’’ replied Mrs. Pendergast, who had tight hold of the rope which wad about the steer’s horns. The drover refused to pay and tried to explain, but Mrs, Pendergast was in- sistent. The drover left his horse at the gate, entered the vard and jerked the rope holding the steer from Mrs. Pendergast’s hands. The rough rope caused her hands to bleed, but she did not give up the fight. As the drover led the steer to the street she followed and returned with the drover’s horse which she led into her back yard. Drover Settled With Woman. The drover, discovering the de- termination of the woman with whom he was dealing: attempted to effect a compromise. Mrs. Pendergast listened to offers that began at 50 cents and mounted to $5, and as she listened fave orders to the drover’s man to unsaddie the horse. He did so and She took the saddle into the house. Some time before neighbors had sent for a policeman, but as none came a message Was sent to Night Chief Doyle, who was asleep at his resi- dence, 620 North Sixth street. He went to the scene and served as judge of the steer-breaking contest. He or- dered the drover to leave $10 for the payment of the repairs necessary, the surplus to be returned to the drover when the work was done. The drover also agreed to pay dam- ages to a junk dealer across the street into whose premises three. of the steers had bolted. The firemen of Engine House No. 2, whose grass plat was torn up by the steers, were not present when the damages were paid, and will have to restore their lawn without §reim- bursement.

Leads to Arrest of New York Jewelers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 10.—As a result oi that the arrests will result Loot. The man of 2589 Monroe street and Barnett Koenigsperg of 17 West One Hundred and Twelfth street, who are partners In a large jewelry store at 616 Second av- enue. made Detective O'Farrell went to the store in Second avenue and applied for a position. He was successful in secur- ing the place and went regularly to his work for several days, during which time he says he located. $70,000 worth of stolen property. Twenty-one owners have come forward and_ identified articles as having been taken from their homes by burglars. Among those identifying stolen prop- erty was W. W. Rossiter, brother of a Brooklyn railroad magnate. He tively identified a large amoung of jew- elry and bric-a-brac as having been taken from his home by burglars last fall. The two men were charged with being receivers of stolen goods, and with the testimony of the Masonic burglar, the detectives expect to be able to uncover the most extensive operations of any ‘fence’ that has been discovered by the police in many years. HEAVY WEIGHTS IN COURTHOUSE FlGH| signe Husband and Man Interested in Divorce Suit Pummel Each Other. Rudolph Harris, proprietor of «a hotel in St. Louis, and John. Winklemeier of Granite City are patching up the in- juries they infticted on each other when they fought a heavyweight contest in the corridors of the Edwardsville Court- house during an interval in Winkle- meier’s divorce trial. Each man weighs 225 pounds, and the fight had become very exciting when it was stopped by Deputy Sheriff Daech. The contested trial of Winklemeier for divorce had been on for two days. Har- ris, who is said to be a friend of Mrs. Winklemeier, has been deeply interested in the case. He seemed to sympathize with Mrs. Winklemeier, and when he met the husband in the corridor Wednes- day afternoon the fight followed.

Charles C. James of St. Louis. son of Cnarles Balfour -lames, a well-known scientist of. Memphis, Tenn., is in Chi- cago to arrange for his father to treat iseveral typical cases of drug, alcoholic and tobaeco addictions, In a prominent hospital of that city under the super- | vision of physicians and medical socie- | ties of Chicago. The claim Dr. James makes for his ' discovery is that ten (10) drops of the | solution which he uses, given at inter-

lapses into a profound slumber until the effect of the drug wears off, which requires several hours. The drug im- mediately strengthens and vitalizes the entire physical economy and normal functional activity is restored. Desire for Stimulants Disappears. When the patient awakens he feels refreshed, and after a good meal is normal and strong. The drug being antidotal, eliminative and supportive, his ‘desire for his accustomed stimulant has disappeared, and in its place there is the most intense aversion for drugs of all kind including Mandragorine. The patient becomes a healtiny normal individual and is entirely free from the demon which formerly had its grip on his vitality. Cultivates Ravenous Appetite. The patient awakes with a raven- OUsS appetite, but owing to his long slumber he sleeps very little the first After that. however. his sleep becomes normal, functional activity js resumed and the patient rapidly gains health and strength, After the first few doses of the drug his accustomed stimulant jis with. drawn. and in spite of that the pa- tient sinks imto a peaceful slumber. An examination of the pulse shows that the heart's action is full and regu lar, even more so than when the man was taking the drug. In cases of drunkenness, it is not ne. cessaryv to put the patient in a coma tose condition. He walks the streets LGYPTIAI ROOT AND FLOWER.

drinks of whisky a day. He gave him a dose of the Mandragorine and told him to go out and drink if he so desire, but | told him to come back at the proper | time for another dose of the drug. The | wan went out and returned without having taken a drink. My _ father asked him if he had drunk any, whisky and ne said he had no desire for it. Kills Desire for Liquor. The drug had supplied the stimulat- | ing effect which. he had been accus- | tomed to seek in the liquor. The sub- ; sequent tonic treatment has built him up and repaired the damage done the nervous system by the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants. The man has felt no further.desire for liquor since the conclusion of the treatment. | The Mandragorine gave him a more | delightful and satisfying stimulant | than the whisky at first, but in a few days it nauseated him and he would not touch the Mandragorine, and de- elared that he had an equal aversion to the thought of whisky. | Although tne Mandragorine stimu-! lates the patient, it ic also a tonic in: its nature. It repairs the damage} done the nervous system, the sgecdid liver and kidneys by the excessive use of drugs or alcoholic stimulants, and | the patient being normally stimulated, !

hegins to leave off his accustomed . doses voluntarily and recovers his | health and strength. According to Mr. James, his father extensive chemical research has an r laboratory at his country place, which is situated about twelve miles from Memphis, Tenn, He first began to use Mandragorine about twelve years ago in treating patients for nervous de- bility. 3 Mandragora, or Mandragorine, has heen known to the. medical profession for many years. but Dr. James was the first to discover its application and value in the treatment and cure of drug and aleoholic addictions.

PAGES 13—24 FORMA LEAD 30 DAYS BOND CAMPAIGN — Citizens’ Committee Says Everybody Must Be Missionary. HE PLEADS FOR HARMONY President McPheeters Says Civic League Is for the Free Bridge. NO SPECIAL INDORSEMENT Meeting Puts All Improvements Provided for on Equal Footing. President Forman of the City Council who has been selected as chairman of the citizens committee organized at the Merchants Exchange. to conduct. the campaign in behalf of the $11,200,000 bond issue, providing for a free municipal bridge and other improvements, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Thursday that an immediate effort will be madae to in- terest every political, religious, civic, commercial ang social organization in St. Louis in the special bond issue elec- tion to be held June 12. Thirty days remaian for the campaign. “I have not yet been officially noti- fied of my election,” said Mr. Forman, “but I can say now that I shall prob- ably accept the responsibility imposed On me by the gentlemen who attended yesterday’s meeting. I ought to have been there myself. The fact is that I Was at the ball game. “But from now on I shall attend no more amusements. If St. Louis is to carry this election every man must make himself a missionary in tne cause. “We neeq unity and harmony. There is no reason why we shouldn't have oil. “Victory in the bond issue election means much to St, Louis. Defeat will simply humiliate our ciyfe pride. Just ae s00n as I can meet Mr, McPheeters who presided at yesterfay’s meetine | shall begin the selection of an executive committee of 15 to assist 1n the work.” No Special Endorsements. There was some difference of opinion at Wednesday's ‘meeting as to the ad- visability of emphasizing the impor- tance of the free bridge project in the proposed bond issue: But even the free bridge advocates, with the exception of Sheridan Webster and one or two othurs, who came as individuals and not as representatives of organizations, declared against such action. Considerable discussion was aroused by the tntroduction of a resolution by Sheridan Webster pledging support to the bond issue and concluding with a specific indorsement of the free bridge proposition, ‘Former Attorney-General Crow moved an amendment to this resolution by striking out the reference to the free bridge. ‘ Untted Action Pian by Crow. ~ Se “T have been as anxious as anyone to secure a free bridge,’’ said Mr. Crow. “But we are.now face to face with a proposition, which includes other needed improvements as well. “We want all the bond issue proposi- tions to go through. We are not seek- ing an advantage in the coming election. If we are to win we must stand shoulder to shoulder and give one proposition as much support as the other.” Victor Sarber, representing the Inter- national Machinists Union, and F. H. Gerhart of the Joint Free Bridge Com- mittee said they thought the committee should make a specific declaration on the free bridge question. Attorney Crow's motion was then put Ss and carried by. a vote of 16 to 12. As thus amended the Sheridan resolution read as follows: “Resolved, That this meeting. as con- stituted by the rolicall, declare {ts pur- pose to be to adyocate effectively the adoption by the voters of each of the Separate propositions submitted In the bond ordinance.” Friction also develoned in the selec- tion of permanent officers. Richmond Declines Office. Manufacturers’ Association, and others, - guggested Manley G. Richmond, presi- dent of the Merchants’ Exchange, to ' manage the campaign of the Citizens’ Fe Committee. Mr. Richmond declined the ~ honor, but his friends refused to listen. '-* Finally Mr. Crow, who js closely !den- tified with the Joint Free Bridge Com- Rr mittee, s sated that since Mr. Rich- | mond did not desire to accept, Mr. For- Fe , who bad worked industriously in if Municipal Assembly for the bond ee Inance and was familiar with every ie of the work, be chosen for the HM The question then arose as to the Nae Sent of the committee to select for of- ane @ person not a member of the or- igation. a jon.

OVERWORK CAUSED ‘STROKE ! NEW. YORK, CHUNDEN em I mm Public Librarian’ in New York Sanitarium Suffering From Paralysis. The condition of Frederick M. Crun- cen, Public Librarian, stricken with paralysis in New York, is causing his friends and relatives in St. Louis alarm. His brother, F. P. Crunden, prepared to return East at a moment’s notice. The proposed tour to Italy of Librarian Crunden and his wife has been entirely abandoned. Mr. Crunden has been failing in health for more than a year. His in- timates and relatives say that he has worked for about four years with lit- tle or no vacation. and that he overworked. He left St. Louis with the intention of visiting Italy and re- cuperating there befuvre a tour of Switzerland. He was to have sailed from New York April ill before that time. the ; aralytic stroke. He was removed to a sanitarium at 26 West Sixty-first street, where he is being cared for by egual chance for recovery. . Louis Public Library as the brary ranked among the great public libraries of the country. It was through his tireless and persevering effort that-the free public library was finally established in St. Louis. Mr. Crunden for several years has been president of the American Li- brary Association, and is widely known for his advanced ideas on economical, political and sociological subjects. Before his appointment as librarian he was a teacher in the High School. In his earlier years he was interested in amateur theatricals. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Crunden that the city obtained Andrew Carnegie’'s gift of $1,000,000 for ua public library system. He planned the system and did much to- ward obtaining the site for the main library at Thirtéenth and Olive streets. —_—_———-—_ position of the Civic League on~ the bond issue in its entirety had been mis- understood. League Favors Whole Pian. ‘The league is in favor of all the prop- >asitions involved in the bond ordi- nance,”’ said Mr. McPheeters. “The only reason the organization did not indorse the free bridge was that we thought this mater outside of the proy- ince of the league. Pussibly we made a mistake. At any rate, we are going to fight for the bond issue. If we do not fight harmoniously tor all the propos - tions, a free bridge as weil as municipal improvements, we wiil simply be snv..e./ under. We cannot afford to have fac- tional differences.”’ After Mr. McPheeters had taken the chair he emphasized the necessity cf harmony and was applauded when he declared that although s.ight differences might exist among those present, he knew that all were heartily in favor of the bond issue.

SUICIDE THEORY STRONG Fatal Bullet Fits Pistol He Car- ried—Was Heavily Insured. 2 ee ee By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. May 10.—Charles lL. Spier, who was shot mysteriously in his home Monday morning, is alleged to have died an embezzler. H. H. Rogers is said to have been caught for an enor- mous sum through the fraudulent trans-' actions of his personal friend and con- fidential agent. : ’ Mr. Rogers was averse to discussing the matter when scen by a reporter. “It is tco early to talk of the condi- tion in which Spier left his affairs,”’ said “It is true expert accountants are ‘going over his books and papers, and untjl they have completed their work it is impossible to exactly determine What results they will reach. They have thus far examined the stock books, and, while it is true suspicious condi- tions have been found, it will be neces- sary to go over the check and bank booka and other papers before any au- thoritative statement can be made.”’ Mr. Rogers expressed deep sympathy with the widow and implied that there was little to be gained by publicity, even irregularities were found, 1 which he seemed to believe unlikely. Henry H. Rogers Jr. was equally His position, as a was onc of dead man's aftairs. palibearer at the funeral yesterday. When told that it was public knowl- edge that the accounts were involved, he contented himself with the. state- ment that the superficial examination made thus far seemed to show that such information was accurate, Mr. Spier lived in a modest home on Staten Island with his wife, to whom he was devoted. Sunday night he awakened her, saying he thought bur- glars were in the house. Getting his pistol and dog, he started down. the steps. One pistol shot rang out and Spier lay dead at the foot of the stairs. No Trace of Burglar. It was assumed that a burglar had shot him, but the police could get hv trace of an intruder. All the windows were still locked when they reached the house and the doors, too, had to be un- locked to admit the neighbors who rushed to the residence. Recently life insurance pulicies for more than $100,- 000 had been taken out by the man or lapsed policies were renewed. Still, the doctors said suicide was im- possible, as no man could have shot himseif as he was shot. With this mys- tery unraveled the widow insisted that an autopsy be not held. However, late yesterday afternoon, after the funeral services, the autopsy wag held and a bullet was found tnmat exactly fitted the one empty sheli in the Spier pistol. Then the theory was evolved that Mr. Sper might have accidentally shot him- seif. Spier enjoyed the full confidence of H. H. Rogers of the Standard Oil Co., and up to the moment of his death he Was in a position to trade upon Mr, Rogers’ name. Spier could have bor- rowed any reasonable sum from the | weaithy man with whom he was in inti- mate contact. It would have been comparatively easy for him to obtain $100,000 in cash to meet any emergency. He asked for no money and, s0 far us is known, he told nobody that he was involved in financial difficulties. On the lother hand, he had never appeared more prosperous than recently. He dis- ‘cussed prospective inyestments and led j many business acquaintances to sup- ‘| pose he was in comfortable circumstanc- es Those who had seen him within a week were the first to deny the possi- bility that he had killed himself and to insist that he must have been shot by & burglar. Securities Hypothecated, It is alleged by the Herald that se- curities belonging to Mr. Rogers were discovered to have been surreptitiously transferred to the name of Mrs. Spier. A tracer brought to light the fact that these securities, which were in the cus- tody of Spier as a representative of Mr. Rogers, were first placed in the name of Mrs. Spier, and later hypothecated. Efforts are now being made to obtain these securities, and it is understood negotiations have already been opened by attorneys of Mr. Rogers to recover them. There is nothing to show that Mrs. Spier had knowledge of the efforts her husband was making to keep his head above water. She probably diq not know he had met enormous losses in his stock market speculation. It was a subject of comment that when secur- ities belonging to Mr. Rogers were transferred to her name her suspicions Were not aroused, particularly as an indorsement ts required on hypothecat- ing these securities. Tt is not believed the Indorsement was made knowingly. Assurances were giy- yen that the mativr will simply rest fli] where it now does. It is understood CICERO WAS NEVER N HUSSEY WARD Heavy Statesman of Twenty- Second Says Oratory Has Him “Stopped.” ee ee WOULD EAT ’EM ALIVE That Is His Feeling Toward Colleagues Who Offer “Sympathy.” What kind of man is Frank Hussey. member of the House of Delegates from the Twenty-second Ward? He is in the public cye just now, because he has de- clared oratory to be on the decline. Is he the Demosthenes of his time? Is he the man whose flowery oratory, dramatic expression and flery utier- ances mnignt lead an ensiaved people to freedom? No, Frank Hussey, saloon keeper- statesman. will not free the people by his oratory. He will not spellbind his colleagues on the floor of the House. He admits that ‘“‘that oratory business has got me stopped.”’ Hussey is a powerfully built feliow, the type of ward politician who 7 ght rule by inspiring fear when persuasive methods failed. His dark eyes are kindly when in re- pose, but might readily signal the dan- ger that is in the man when he 1s aroused. He is heavy jowled, and has every attribute of the iron-handed ward ruler. Such minor events as oratorical tourneys are taken lightly by him. Hussey is tall without being too tall, and is built like Adonis—if the !atter ancient gentleman had been fat. There is a rotundity about the waist line that changes the Adonis mou!d into one that Gambrinus would be proud of. He looks to be equally at home on either side of the bar. “That oratory business has got me stopped,”” he said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter at his saloon, 2318 Ulve street. “If it was anything else, I'd be all right. I ain't a public speaker—wish I was. Sympathy Begins at Home, “Symj;jathy” quoth the big fellow as he read Delegate Coale’s resolution providfng for a holiday upon which Hussey could declaim freely from the House floor. “Sympathy, eh? Well, Coale had better keep his sympathy— he needs it for that delegation he lost in the Twenty-eighth Ward. “Sympathy’s like charity—it begins at home. He’d better keep what he’s got—-he needs it. ‘“Sympathy’s cheap stuff anyway. You can't buy a round of drinks with it, can you George?’ he said, turning to the barkeep. “That reference to Demosthenes isn’t worrying you, then?” he was asked. “No, them big words never bothers me—I haven't looked that word up in the dictionary.” “You know what Plato said about public speaking?” he was asked. “Plato,” he re,eated. “What ward is he tr—why, he ain't in the House of Delegates.” “He's dead now,” interposed the bar- tender. “They say they scared me away Tuesday night, do they? Well, they’re crazy if they think that they can scare Frank Hussey away. I had something else on Tuesday night that kept Me away. kept me away. “Til eat ’em alive on any voting proposition that comes up in the ses- sions, but I admit this public speakin’ business has got me runnin’ way out- side the money! Seen His Duty, Done It. “I'm the kind of fellow that does | Si his duty. Every time so far I seen my duty, why, I done it. ‘This whole business dates back to when Jimmy Nash put Speaker O'Brien in nomination. He was sayin’ what a good feliow OBrien was and sald he treated everybody alike and gave every- body a square deal. “Tl up and says to Nash: ‘Just speak for yourself; don't speak. for all of us. O’Brien fiever treated me all right.’ “Somebody said maybe O'Brien was waiting for me to treat first. There was a lot of kidding about it, and it has been kept up ever since. “I ain’t a going to do any speech- makin’ in the proper .sense, but when I got anything to say, I'm goin’ to say it. Any proposition that comes up and | see fit to t..ik on, I'm going to talk, “Why, suy, some of those delegates would make you sick, the way they fol- low the leader.

That ain't me. I have to see my duty first. All their oratory won't influence me, either. “Not long ago they killed my resolu- tion to regulate the speed of autos, It came up just after the Health Commis- sioner’s auto killed the daughter of a photographer in my ward. They knew it was a good one, but they voted it down. “They've only got.me on one commit- tee—education and labor. I call it the century plant committee. It meets once every hundred years. I don't expect to be alive the next time it blooms.”’ Hussey does not seem to care much whether he is a power in the House or not. He knows he is a power in the ward. He and his brother, who is Cen- tral Committeeman of the same ward, are appealed to many times during the ‘winter months from the poorer pre- cincts of the ward. and more than one person in need of coal or provisions has obtained them without the red tape j of organizations.

Faulkner, General Manager of Police Properties. Pians were practically agreed upon for the new Central Police Station that wiil be built immediately on Twelfth street, near Clark avenue.

There will be no separate rooms for the detectives. The main office of the Chief of Detec- tives and his assistant will be in one large room.

These men will ee casled upon tw siand eXaminations some time next week. Tivere are five vacancies to be filled in the rank of sergeant and the Board has determined to make a sort of a housecleaning in filling them. ‘ne ex- amination is compulsory, and it will be far more rigid than was the ex- amination Monday at the Four Courts, When 32 prooationary patrolusen were promoted to the rank of patroimen. Thursday the examination of emer- Bency specials at the Newstead Avenue Station to fill the vacancies caused in the ranks of the probationaries. This examination of the patrolmen, who are declared by their captains to be eligible for the rank of sergeant, will be the first really severe test the individual members of the department have been put to since the houseclean- ing began. The captains wete notified last week of the vacancies in the rank of sergeant. They were told to regrade their patrol- men. They were instructed to make se- lections of such patrolmen who would make first-class sergeants, and to grade the other patrolmen accordin~'-’. The captains may not have @ own ft, but their efficiency was in a m. .sure De- ing investigated w..en they gvere asked t> make the recommendations. One of the things required of a captain is to rec- ognize the qualifications of the men of his command. He is not supposed to have any favorites. If the captain has marked any patrdiman for advance- ment who, on examination proves to be not up to the standard, the recommen- dation of an inferior officer will he credited against the captain making such recommendation. The sergeants will be put through just as rigid an examination when the board is called upon to promote one of their number to the first vacancy in the rank of Heutenant. and in tur: tne Heutenants will be closely inspected when a vacaricy occurs fn the rank of captain.

MAN FROM MINNEAPOLIS Pronounces Army’s Statistics Untrustworthy and Its Ac- counts Poorly Kept. PHILADELPHIA, May 10.—At tie first business session of the Thirty-third national conference of charities and corrections today in Horticultural Hall a paper on “Relief Work of the Salva- tion Army’’ was read by Edwin D. Sol- enberger, general manager of the Asso- ciated Charities, Minneapolis. He declared that the social relief work of the Salvation Army as carried on through its homes, lodging houses and other agencies was pvorly organized and poorly administered. Continuing, te speaker said: Declares Statistics Faulty. “One.of the chief difficulties in try- ing to arrive at definite conclusions con- cerning the army's work is the un- trustworthiness .of their statistics, prob- ably due largely to lack of uniformity in recording and summarizing data. about 44,508, while the ]%o report says that outside employment was found for about: 4,508, while the 1905 report says that 14,907 found outside. employment and an undated leaflet says that 56000 found outside employment during the year. “I find that somehow most people have patner the impression that the army as a large number of farm colonies, and that thousands of poor people from the slums have been transferred to them. There are at present but three colonies, one each in Ohio, Colorado and Cali- fornia, having a total of but 630 ple. These colonists have become self-sup- porting, but it would be interesting to know what percentage of them, while living in the city, have ben recipients of ¢ither public or private relief, or even dwellers in what the Salvation Army calls the slums, ‘ Censureg the Lodgings. “The Salvation Army maintains at present about seventy-four lodging houses in our various cities, furnishing beds at the rate of 10 and 15 cents a night. In its appeals for funds the army speaks of loiging thousands of homeless, and most péople gain the impression that such lodgings are, in fact, at least, a charity, and that the accommodatians furnished are much superior to those or the ordinary cheap lodging house. run for private profit. “Reliable information from a large number of typical American cities in- dicates that the system of cheap lodg- ing houses conducted by the Army have all the. defects of the po t of the privately owned lodging ousés and few, if any, advantages over them. Re- cently, in an Eastern city, a Salvation Army lodging house was closed when the local Hoard of Health began to en- force the sanitary ordinances. while from widely separated cities come ac- counts of specific glaring evils. Declares Accounts Bad. “Tt is exceedingly difficult,” said Sol- enberger, ‘‘to secure satisfactory in- formation about the financial affairs of the Salvation Army. “The balance sheet and statement of the accounts at national headquarters in New York City are gone over ean year by a certified publi: accountant, but this only guarantees that the foot- ings and the balances are correct. “The business affairs of the Salvation Army are rapidly attaining large pro- portions, and those who give financial support to the organization § certeinly have a right to expect clear financial statements.’’ Former Policemar Fined, Joseph Hosty was fined $50 and costs Thursday in t St. Louis on a an of carrying concealed weapons. Hosty was formerly on the East 8t. Louis police force, but was dismissed two months ago, having been accused of borrowing money from a married wom- an. Two weeks later he was arrested by Policeman Lehman for firing his re- volver in the vicinity of this woman's house. His defense was that he was at. tacked by a highwayman and fired in the air to summon help. eee PRGERS HEAR OF CRUELTY U. §.

ont MORE COPPER IN SENATE. Senator Clark of Montana will not be a candidate for re-election to the Senate. It is asserted that Augustus Heinze will succeed him, a toga being part of the bargain by which peace was made among the copper kings of the State. . If such a bargain was really made it can probably be consummated. The millionaires of copper and Standard Oil have “run things” in the State for years and they haven’t declined any in power or greed. But what of the people of Montana? And the Legislature? As a money getter, Clark is a wonder. So is Heinze. As a Senator, Clark is worthless and Heinze has never exhibited any signs of talent for anything but money and fighting. Do the people of the State want to be represented by such men? _ The Senate will have to receive Heinze if he makes the investment. But what will men like Bailey, Tillman, Cullom, Spooner, Lodge, Morgan, Bacon and Rayner do? They are men of honor, and it is conceivable that the appearance of another adven- turer of the Clark species will considerably depress their spirits for a quarter of an hour. = SS "wT

What a terrific, even though casual, indictment of the mighty magnates who cater to the tastes of the amusement-seeking public! And ‘how almost in- credible, remembering their resounding praises of the women whom they happen to be starring—*the peerless,” “the unapproachable,” “the unparalleled,” “the greatest emotional’’—and recalling the astound- ing sums which they are said so gladly to pay these twinkling female stars.! Is it all a bluff? Is poor woman, boomed in public, bunkoed in private by her boomers? Is it but another phase of the war of sex against sex, with the gentler getting the worst of it, as usual? Miss Nielsen’s arraignment seems to call for searching in- vestigation. The chivalry of the most vital of arts is assailed in its very citadel. a

the substitute resolution of ex-Attorney-General Crow declaring the purpose of the meeting to be to effectively advocate the adoption by the voters of each of the separate propositions submitted in the bond ordinance. The only differences which dis- turbed the harmony of the meeting were between those. who stand for the free bridge proposition, which perhaps needs harmonious advocacy less than any of the other propositions. And all of the free bridge advocates agreed to support all of the bond propositions—a point of great value in the campaign work to be done before the June election. Having accomplished the preliminary step of agree- ing upon the general officers of the Citizens’ Com- mittee, the next important step is the organization of a strong, influential, representative Executive Committee to conduct the campaign. This work is in the hands of the general chairman, Mr. H. A. Forman, and his action will in a large rfeasure de- termine the success of the co-operative plan which the meeting inaugurated. If Mr. Forman will select his Executive Committee on broad lines, so that it will include the strongest available men representing all of the elements of citizenship, the campaign will be a success. The committee should be organized on a platform of the advocacy of and harmonious work for the bond issue, and not as a special organi- zation designed to work for any one or two or three specific propositions. We believe the citizens can be united upon this platform and for this purpose, and that effective work can be done to bring the voters to a clear un- derstanding of the issue presented in the June elec- tion and the very great importance of a full vote and a favorable vote for progress, The Fifty-ninth Congress will pass into history as having neither sweated nor grunted for the common benefit.

i i Ap eo THE OGLANDER CASE. The case of Henry Oglander, whom the Governor has pardoned from the Missouri Penitentiary after he had served 13 months of a three-year sentence, had in it one of the worst injustices of the prison system as it exists in every State in the Union. The evidence of guilt in the case does not ap- pear conclusive, but it may be taken for granted that by receiving stolen goods or in some other way, the man had done the community injury to a money value of a hundred or a thousand times the value of a few dollars actually involved. When he was shut up in prison, however, his wife and six children were thrown dependent on the com- munity, while his earnings in prison, instead of being devoted to their support after the cost of his own had been paid, were confiscated by the State. This punished the community and the convict’s family much more than it did the convict. Under the contract system in the Missouri Penitentiary, no convict who becomes a good workman is severely punished unless he has a wife and children by the thought of whose sufferings he is tortured. The system is criminal, if the word “criminal” means what necessarily forces increase of crime in the community. It is absurd as well as criminal. dt | LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE | WHO IS THE TYRANT?

WAR IN OREGON. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Very few people east of the Rockies seem to know that there is a revolution brewing in Oregon. A revolution without dynamite, bloodshed or fist fights. A revolution of men and women against men and women. Nevertheless, some black eyes are dealt out by the Oregon press to both sexes, The Lincoln County Leader says: “The corporal’s guards of Port- land women who do not want to vote, and who do not want other women to vote, are now offering a prize to the young, ignorant and inexperienced wom- an who will write the best essay against equal suf- frage. This causes suspicion that none of the ‘antis’ are able to write an article which the people could comprehend or appreciate. Perhaps they wouldn't even know how to vote if given the privilege.” The Port Oxford Tribune says: ‘‘The women of Ore- gon are counting upon the votes of all fair, good, educated, long-headed, chivalrous, generous men, They are counting right. They are not counting prejudiced, ignorant, short-sighted, conceited, selfish men. And they are again right. For a man to assert that he is smarter, better or has more rights than a wo requires an amount of cheek and conceit im ble to comprehend.” e revolution for justice is on, and almost the last sentence Susan B.

Just about a year ago a jury heard the evidence in a case, and when the lawyers squared off for their argu- ments the foreman arose and said: “If it pleases the Court, the jury would like to dispense with the argu- ments by the attorneys. The facts in this case have all been set forth under oath. The jury understands them per- fectly. If the Court will protect us from these Svengalis and deny them the privilege of scrambling the whole matter up into an ambiguous omelet, we shall be able to do justice.” The Court acquiesced, and the defend- ant was hanged.

i STORIES TOLD IN- WASHINGTON Te a Correspondent of the Pest- Dispatch. |

’

——— WASHINGTON, May 10.—A _ states- man, well known but nameless so far as this story is concerned, went to Un- cle Joe Cannon’s party on Monday night. He found many thirsty friends there and he had somewhat of a parched feeling in his throat himself. When he went home he was ‘“‘soused,”’ but he was very dignified. He-had worn for the first time one of a new batch of Shirts his wife had bought for him. It was a catshirt, that opened all the way down the front. He got into the house without too much noise and congratulated himself that Mrs, Statesman would know noth- ing about his condition. He found much difficulty in getting off his shirt. He tried nany ways, but could make no headway. He struggled for half an hour and then called to his wife, who was sleeping in an adjoining room: “My dear, I am sorry to disturb you, but I wish you would come here and tell me how to get off this shirt.” Mrs. Statesman came in and looked him over. ‘‘What is the trouble?” she asked, suspiciously. “I cannot get off this new fangled shirt you bought for me. I do not ap- prove of it, anyhow. Now, I demand of you that you tell me how to get it off.'’ “I would suggest,’ replied Mrs. States- man, coldly, ‘‘that a most essential pre- liminary to taking off your shirt is to first take off your coat and waistcoat.”

Senator Crane of Massachusetts was talking of the delights of a senatorship. “They told me up in Massachusetts, when they asked me to come to the Senate,” he said, plaintively, ‘‘that it was a fine, easy job. They said I could get home a couple of days each week and would only be obliged to be here the first four days of the week.”’ ‘Haven't you found it so?’ he was asked. “Found it so!” [said Senator Crane, “I ghould say I haven't. I have been able to get home only once in the last three months, and I have been work- ing 18 hours every day of the week and sometimes 24." A Gentleman, Anyway. John Marshall day has brought out a flood of anecdotes about the great C Justice of the United States. W ‘s Work relates that once, as the Judge was traveling toward Raleigh, N.

Fanciful Socialism

pire,’ David M. Parry carries out to the very last term the leveling tendencies of Socialism. His characters live on the island of Atlantis under the sea, where a thoroughgoing social Dem- ocracy is in active operation. The State regulates everything—just how much it regulates will be indicated by the fol- lowing summary of the laws: A citizen shall be given a State number instead of a name. He shall receive from the State kitchen three-quarters of a pound of food per day. No citizen shall weigh over one hun- dred and ten pounds or exceed five feet in height. Male and female Citizens shall wear as raiment the common scarlet garment provided by the State. All citizens shall rise each morning at the ringing of the State bell. All citizens shall pray for 6 seconds each morning at the ringing of the State prayer bell. The speech of each citizen is limited to 1000 words per day. The step of each citizen is limited to 10 inches. Each citizen shall laugh aloud once every half-hour. No citizen sball snore in the public dormitories. | All food eaten _by citizens in the public dining rooms shall be chewed nine times on the right side of the jaw and nine times on the left, that perfect equality in mastication shall be preserved. The finger nails of citizens shall be cut a uniform length. All children of citizens shall be placed in the State public nurseries until the age of 7 years. All children of 7 years shall be placed in the disciplinary asylums and taught the State code of rules, until the age of 14. All citizens over the age of 14 shall be placed in the State public dormitories and made to contribute their share of labor in State factories. All citizens shall be officially notified by an inspector of marriage when the State has appointed either wife or hus- band. State inspectors shall be present at the first meeting of contracting parties, and see that the law is obeyed. One tracting parties. At the end of three years the State will grant a divorce at the request of either one or both parties, and new per- sons shall be appointed in marriage to each one. Any social cititzen who is unsocialistic shall be thrown to the kraken. T° his recent novel. “The Scarlet Em-

He Knew. From Harper's Weekly. The first witness called in a recent petty lawsuit in Cincinnati .was an Irishman, of whose competence as a witness opposing counsel entertained a doubt. At their instance there was put to him, before being -sworn, the usual interrogatory, “‘Do you know the na- ture of an oath?’ A broad grin spread over the face of the Irishman as he replied: “Indade, Your Honor, I may say that it is second nature with me.” Explained. From Lite. “Tell me,” requests the young person, entering the study of the gray-bearded philosopher, “what is the difference be- tween friendship and love?’ The gray-bearded philosopher studies the table thoughtfully for a moment or two, then replies: “Friendship, my son, is a mutual un- dérstanding; love is a mutual misunder- standing.”

SOCIALISM IN AMERICA What It Means.

Another Name for Discontent. Socialism is merely another name for discontent. It is a vague theorv of un- certain future idealistic conditions to be attained only by an enforced uniform State of mediocrity to which every pes- simist gives a different meaning accord- ing to his civil and social condition and intellectual standards, and in which the selfishness of the most capable shall be gratified and all envy shall be appeased by a process of reducing the eagle to the plumage and habits of the kite. It is a condition in which glory will be wholly extinguished and groveling will, universally prevail, where the teacher of truth and the common thief shall be equally eminent, and no per- former of heroic acts shall be a hero unless he shall first go home and sweep a stréet crossing to reduce him to the common level, lest he be more respect- ed than his fellows. Under its benefi- cent operation men must live alike and do the same class of work, lest one have an easier task than another and rise higher in public esteem than his neighbor. It is a condition in which the in- scrutable forces of nature must be con- trolled and forced to form the features and intellects of men more alike in order that one may have no advantages over the other, and although this may not tend to vary the prospect accord- ing to the requirements of the present crude standards of beauty, it will ef- fectually repress egotism by imaking ‘the best like the worst.” When Almighty God created invidious distinctions by making one.man black and another white and some bright and others dull, he clearly did not un- derstand his business. That leads to inequalities which Socialism is pri- marily des‘ened to correct. Socialism also has other objects less altruistic. ARTHUR NAVARRE. New York, April 19. “A.

NM RS. HUMPHRY WARD sstands with Thomas Hardy and George Meredith in the front rank of living writers of fiction. Her novels are not among the books to be put aside after reading—they are books which demand a permanent place in the library. Mrs. Ward’s new novel is a story of a man dominated by ambition—a story of two women of strikingly contrasting types. It is the record: of a struggle both material and moral—and it those rare stories whose ending is not only happy and right, but logical and true to life. is one of

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 10.—William B. Hornblower, the lawyer who was char- actertized by ‘“‘Judge’’ Andrew Hamilton in his sensational speech before the Legislature as ‘“‘the Pecksniff’’ of one administration of the New York Life In- surance Co. and as “the Talleyrand” of another, has resigned from the Board of Trustees. Since the Hamiltony attack Mr. Horn- blower’s position in the company has not been comfortable. He was regarded by some as the enemy of the late Jonn A. McCall and as responsible for -the severe criticisms of his administration by the Fowler Investigating Committee just be- fore Mr. McCall's death. The Fowler Committee directed that suits for the recovery of hundreds of thousands of dollars be brought against Mr. McCall, and, on his death, against the McCall estate. Several of the trus- tees declared, however, that the suits whould never be brought: that it would be hounding and persecuting the mem- ; bers of the dead man's family bevond tne bounds of decency. The controversy in the company over the matter was very distasteful to Mr. Hornblower. and, it is said, was instrumental in leading him to resign as trustee. ARMSTRONG INSURANCE PROBE COST $100,000. Special to the Post-IMspatch. ALBANY, N. Y.. May 10.—The cost of the investigation made to the Arm- strong Insurance Committee has been fixed at $100,000. The appropriation was put in the annual supply bill just print- ed. It is understood that Inquisitor Hughes’ share of this sum is $15,000. The bill states that the appropriation is made to cover counsel fees, witness fees, services of stenographers,. clerks and other employes and for the printing of 17,059 copies of the report. UNION WIPED UT STRIKES ENDED Longshoremen Return to Work After Mates’ Organization Is Defeated. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., May 10.—The strike of the longshoremen and their allied in- terests on the great lakeS Yas come to an-end. Work was resumed this morn- ing on all docks and on the lakes. Twen- tv thousand men will be given employ- ment. This means the wiping out of the mates’ union, which caused the struggle. The dock managers’ refuseal to recog- nize the mates’ organization led the leungshoremen, with whom they had be- come affiliated, to strike in sympathy with them and call out all other inter- ests. The longshoremen had demanded a 10- hour day and also the recognition of the mates’ union. The dock wiived aside the question of hours and insisted on eliminating the recognition of the mates. The longshoremen insisf- ed on the recognition of the mates and the conference ended. The strike did not come until the termination of the contract between the dock managers and the longshoremen on May l. The question of recognition of the mates was eliminated from the discus- sion at the outset in last night’s confer- ence and an agreement was. easily reached. A few minor details are yet to be worked out between the longshore- men and the dock managers, between the firemen and oilers and the Lake Car- riers’ Association and between the firemen and the officers of the Lakes Towing Co. will meet the longshoremen afternoon. The Lake Carriers’ Confer- ence will be held Monday. No date has been set for the meeting between tug firemen and the officers of the Great Lakes Towing Co. Sree. AGED NL Y HH) HF QUIS NEW TEETH | Nature Brings Uncle William Sposede Unexpected Birth- day Present. * WINDHAM CENTER, Me., May 10.— William Sposede, the oldest resident of Windham, observed his ninety-fifth birthday today and surprised his friends by announcing that he was cutting a new set of teeth. Uncle William lost his grinders many inington will years ago and since that time has been compelled to ‘‘gum’’ his food. A few weeks ago Uncle William says his gums began to feel sore, and from the white spots that appeared he is sure that he will soon have a new set of teeth. He has consulted a physician about sprouting teeth and wants, if possible, to hurry their growth. Every Reason to Believe That spring is here, is about self-evident to us.

Special to tae Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, May 10.—A hitch in the proposed compromise plan.for manag- ing Zion City’s assets developed yes- terday, when John Alexander Dowie re- fused the offer of peace from Wilbur Gienn Voliva. The plan for three men to be named io manage affairs, pending the final court decree—one to be “named by Dowie, one by Voliva and one by the court—was not viewed with enthusiasm by the “First Apostle” He thought it had a string tied to it, and promptly trampled the olive branch under his feet. Dewie's advisers wanted a com- mittee of seven, which is resisted by the “‘vebels,”’ Attorney Emil C. Wetten held a long conference with the “First. Apostle’’ in Zion City yesterday afternoon, but was unable, it is reported, to securé from Dr. Dowie his approval to the plan sug- gested in Beividere. When. the case was called hefore Judges Donnelly and Wright of the Lake County Cirevit Court in. the Monadnock Building yesterday, Attor- ney Jacob Newman, representing Vo- liva, presented an ultimatum to the Dowie forces. It was in the nature ef a threat to ask an increase in "s bond from $20,000 to $200,000 unless he consented to the naming of the commit- tee at. once. Attorney Newman scoffed at the pro- posal to appoint a committee of seven. “It is simply a scheme on the part of Dowie to get a job for several of his friends,’ said he. ‘‘The idea its ridicu- lous and will never meet with our ap- probation.”’ COFFEE!!!
