DIVORCED WIFE} sii : Second Wife’s Signed Version of Remarkable McFarlin Bigamy Case BY ETHEL HARTSOCK. I met Mr. McFarlin two years before we were maried. I worked in the office of a shirt-waist factory on Lucas avenue. every day I received a special delivery letter from him and two or three times a week I received a bouquet. He was introduced to me as Mr. Mc- Dermont, a traveling salesman for the Thorp Upholstering Co. of New York. : He belonged to the same secret society as my father and always seemed to have the highest respect for me. In the two years before we were married he was always begging me to marry him. On Tuesday, Feb. 16, 1904, he called at Mrs. Laura Sharpe’s home, where he had ar- ranged to meet me. From there Mrs. Sharpe went with us to Clayton. After getting off the car I wanted to return to St. Louis and not be married, but he insisted that I was so near and not to back out. There was no “lark.” I couldn’t have lived at the Manhattan Hotel, because I had never heard of it until he gave out that had lived there. I lived at 3225 Mor- gan street when he met me and after that at 2928 Washington avenue, From there I moved to 72614 North Compton avenue. I lived at this address when he married me. In September of the same year the lady I lived with became ill and he bought her flat for me. It was while we lived at this house I found out that he worked for a Broadway store. He sent so many things al- ways from this store that I asked why he always bought there. He then told me he had changed and was working there and for me to call a cer- tain afternoon and to go to the third floor. He was at the elevator as I ; - ote : ae » Pap ong . , Ps nt ak oe.

Milbradt, a ,wealthy manu&&cturer of ladders who for many years lived at 2943 University street, have recently learned that he married Miss Hannan Luecke at Houghton, Wis., April 24.

causes unknown. Hickey whose home was in Chester- field, lll., was murdered while passing through Madison in a prairie wagon. His bruised body was found last Wednesday at dusk in the rear of ‘King George's'’ saloon, near Second and State streets. He was taken to the jail on the belief that he was drunk, where he died early Thursday. Two witnesses testified that ‘King George,’’ owner of the saloon back of Which the body was found, whose full name is George Facon, had threatened them if they told what they knew at the inquest. They were Matt Ottowyz and John Meinerick. Meinerick said on the stand: “'*King George came to me and said if I told the truth about Hickey he would break all my bones and have me put in the Penitentiary. ‘I am rich,’ ‘King George’ said. ‘I own two houses have much money. You have little. towyz has nothing but his hat. You had best do as I tell you.’ One Accensed Has Filed. “But we said we were going to tell the truth, whatever he did,’’ Meinerick continued. Meinerick is proprietor of a saloon near Sixth and State streets. He gave testimony not before ,developed against Tony Jerbic and Peter Zaur, the men arrested. Jerbic is a bartender for ‘‘King ge’ and Z is a laborer at the car- sh in Madison. The latter fled after Hickey’s death, but Jerbic is under ar- rest. “Wednesday night,’’ Meinerick testi- fied, “Jerbic and Zaur came into my place just as I was about to close up. Jerbic put both hands into his pants pockets and drew u up ame of bille— all the way from to His hands a stuffed with them. "vie grinned at and said, Foi pg) : * sediaiad good for one ony’ s haul, ain't “Zaur reached nis ‘hand into a pocket and drew up a lot of bills, too. He rinned as he fished them out. ‘Jerbic 1asn't got it all,’ he said. ‘Guess I got my share.’ “All the men were surprised, because ay had never seen Zaur with money ore. Mer Bought Many Drinks. “Those two bought drinks for ev- erybody in the house. They spent several] dollars each. Then I closed up the place.” David Dedrick, a former resident of Chesterfield, who was Hickey’s only friend in Madison, told how Hickey had said to him that he had more than $200 with him, and how he ad- Vise@ Hickey to put it in bank. “He asked me the way to East 8t. Luis,” Dedrick said, “and I told him. Iie left my place at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon to go to East St. Louis, with the money on him. He got no farther than ‘King George's’ saloon. He was found back of the saloon at 6 _@ clock, but I did not hear of it until 10. Then I went to his cot in the Jail, where he was dying. He whispered ' to me that he was sorry he hadn't done as I told him about putting the money in bank.” ‘Prank Probeck, a barber, testified that , was standing in front of Tom _ White's saloon at Second and State Zaur come out into the street, where a man was lying apparently drunk, and drag the man into the saloon. He said when they lifted the man he could see from the clothing and hat that it was Hicke he had met earlier in 10m lickey, he said, seemed help-

Milbradt and his young bride have returned to St. Louis and are living at 6147 Vernon avenue The former Mrs. Milbradt is 44 years old. The bride ts 22 and Milbradt is 48. After twenty years of fancied security Cupid was driven from the beautiful home of the Milbradts on University street but he has again found a lodg- ing place among equally beautiful sur- roundings at the Vernon avenue home, to which Milbradt has taken his new bride. No family is better known in North St. Louis than the Milbradts. Wealthly, well bred and with the necessary tact and inclination to make friends they were leaders in the social set in which they moved. In their stables were fine horses, carriages and automobiles and they were noted for their style. Deveted Couple for Years. So far as their friends and acquein- tances could judge from outward ap- pearances Mr. and Mrs. Milbradt were a devoted and loving couple. They had no children. One of Mrs. Milbradt’s closest friends was Mrs. Rohlfing, wife of Dr. Louis Rohlfing of 3916 Greer avenue. When Miss Hannah Luecke, the beautiful niece of Mrs. Rohlfing, came to St. Louis from Germany a little more than two years ago, Mrs. Milbradt was one of the first to entertain the young woman. After that Miss Luecke was a fre- quent visitor at the Milbradt home. She went driving and automobiling with Mr..and Mrs. Milbradt and in time came to be considered almost as a meber of the household. Jan. 5 last the Milbradts separated, and nine days later Mrs. Milbradt filed suit for divorce. She alleged desertion and indignities. and said that for seven years her husband had rendered her condition intolerable by telling her that he didn’t love her and that he would rather live in one room than remain with her Milbradt 3id not contest, and a de- eree of divorce was granted to Mrs. Milbradt, March 2 Case Perplexed Judge. After hearing the testimony the Judge summoned Mrs. Milbradt to the stand and said: “Tt is strange that you lived together 20 years and that you cant get along with your husband now. Is there a woman in the case ‘No, there is not,’ bradt. Mrs. Milbradt did not ask for alimony. The University street home belonged to her and her husband offered to per- mit her to keep it or to give her $15,0C0 in cash. A contract was made under which she took the money. Milbradt Tuesday showed to a Post- Dispatch reporter an additional agree- men wa h, he says, his former wife signe er she obtained her divorce: “Tn consideration of your paying me $2000 for the furniture in the house at 2943 University street, I hereby agree to go to St. Paul or some other city and remain away from St. Louis for one year. “BbIZZIE M. MILBRADT.”’ After the separation and _ divorce Mrs, Milbradt continued to live at the University street home until March °7, and Milbradt went to board at 2918 Sullivan avenue, a block away. Bride Is Vivacious, Then Milbradt moved from the Sul- livan avenue house and Mrs. Milbradt took the room which he vacated. She is still there. “Yes. I have married Miss Luecke.” said Milbradt to a Post-Dispatch re- porter at his office, 1438 North Eighth street. “Why shouldn't I? I was free and I don't see that it should concern anvbody. My former wife has been talking a lot about it and I'm going to have it stopped. She promised to get out of town and let me alone, but she didn't keep her word.” Milbradt’s young bride is a tall, willowy blond, pretty and vivacious. She beamed when asked about thie marriage. “We were married at Houghton, &t. Croix County. Wis., by Rev. Carl KE. Odell, on April 24." she said. ‘“‘Here is the certificate. Don't you think it’s pretty? I'm going to have it framed.’ The certificate bears these scriptural verses in large type: “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asun- r,'"—Matt. xix, 6. “Nevertheleas ‘let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as him- self, and the wife see that she rever- ence her husband."’—-Ephesians v, 33, The former Mrs. Milbradt is a blond of commanding presence. She talks quickly and with a pleasing lisp. “T heard several dave ago that my husband had married again.’ she said T had known he was going to temp ’ replied Mrs. Mil-

Caused by Father Gnielin- ski’s Departure.

ARCHBISHOP DEFENDANT

Plaintiffs Want Deeds and Notes Made by Priest Declared Void. Parishoners of St. Casimir’s Catholic Church, at Bighth and Mullanphy streets, filed a suit in the Circuit Court Tuesday, by which they hope which became involved after the dis- appearance of Father Francis Gnielin- ski last November. The plaintiffs are Ignace Kubisiak, Walter Ruthkowski, Michael Woznaik, Julius Frosky and Nicholas Wojciekow- ski. They name defendants Arch- bishop Glennon, Father Gnielinski, Wil- liam Booth, William B. Papin, John P. Leahy and the Mercantile Trust Co. Property valued at $50,000 is involved. It is alleged that Father Gnielinski held thie property as trustee for the parish- ioners, The petition sets forth 1895 there were court proceedings, a re- sult of which Gnielinski was declared to have a lien of $9000 on the parish prop- erty and was authorized to borrow §21,- 000 from William B. Papin on a deed of trust. This deed was given to William Booth for Papin and is now held by John P. Leahy. The petitioners ask that this deed be set aside and that Leahy be enjoined from foreclosing on the property un- der the terms of the deed. They ask that Gnielinski be supplanted by an- otnae trustee and allege that the priest took enough property with him to make up for his $9000 lien. fhey ask also that all of the notes signed by Gnielinski cleared void. Archbishop Glennon is made a co-de- fendant because, the petition says, he “claims some sort of interest in the par- ish property.’ rea Burglar in Justice’s Office.

Goddard sud- denly gave a faint groan, and when his wife reached his side he was un- conscious. Dr. Robinson was sent for, but Maj. Goddard was dead when he arrived.

Harry Stewart will appear Saturday before Judge Filkelnburg in United States Diatrict’ Court to hear Used Shotgun to Warn St, An- drew’s School Pupils Away. Clement Oswald of 1800 South Tenth street objects to the game of baseball as played by pupils of St. Andrew's Catholic School, on a lot adjoining his vineyard in Longwood, a suburb south of Carondelet. He regards a shotgun as the best means of impressing his ob- jection on their youthful minds. Oswald will be arraigned Friday be- fore Justice Huemmer of Longwood on a charge of assault with intent to kill. The charge is brought by Alfred Matt- ler Jr., 7 years old, who lives at 9325 South Broadway and is one of the pu- pills of the school. Alfred says that Oswald fired two charges from a shot- gun at him when he went into the vine- yard to get a stray hall, inflicting wounds in his neck and leg. Oswald says he shot into the air, and that his gun was not loaded with shot. | He says each barrel contained only a 'dram of powder held with wads of i'paper. The boys, he says, have “al- ‘most tormented the life out of him.” He is under bond of $190. Oswald is '6 years old. St. Andrew's School adjoins Oswald's biggest piece of property In the suburb of Longwood. The old man annually cultivates grapes on his lot, and says that since the school wis instituted the pupils have been guilty of depreda- tions upon his land. Knocked Ball Under Fence.

Snecial to the Post-Dispatch DENVER, Colo., May 15.—Mrs. Ma- rie Fleming Everest: Brown-Eastes A St. Louis has won the first round in the legal battle for possession of the George N. Brown estate, valued at about $300,000. A jury in the District Court today decided that Mrs. Eastes did not mar- ry Oscar Elmo in St. Louis, as charged by Mrs. Sarah N. Brown, the mother of the deceased. All that now remains to make victory perfect is producing proof that she was legally married to Brown. This. will be but the mere form of producing the marriage license. The Court has set May 31 as the date for hearing proof of the marriage, at which time the motion of the plaintiff for a rehearing in the present case will also come up. Mrs. Brown-Eastes is a stepdaugh- ter of H. L. Magee, formerly a Wa- bash Railroad official. In her testimony in the Denver Cir- cuit Court, shortly before the jury pre- pared its verdict which was left sealed to be read Tuesday, Mrs. Brown-Eastes swore that for two years she carried pinned to her underclothing her written contract with Oscar Elmo, signed at the Planters Hotel, which, she declared, recorded only an agreement to marry. Mrs. Sara N. Brown-Johnston, plain- tiff in the case, charged that this pa- per was a contract of common-law marriage, and that this contract invali- dated the subsequent marriage of the young woman with Brown. For this reason she sought to prevent the young widow, now the wife of J. Clark Eastes, from inheriting the Brown estate, con- sisting of securities and Denver real estate. _In explaining her statement that she had carried the paper continuously for two years pinned to her underwear, and had read it every day, Mrs. Brown- Eastes said: “I was only a silly girl theh, and’ thought I was very much in love.”’ J. E. Ryan, a Planters Hotel cabman, taken to Denver to testify to signing the paper as a witness, became faint on the witness stand when cross-examimMa- tion began, and Mrs. Eastes made a sarcastic comment on the robustness which he had shown while giving direct testimony. The testimony of Oscar Elmo, now a St.- Louis traveling salesman, was read in the form of depositions. Thought He Loved Her. The following brought smiles to Mrs. Brown-Eastes' face: “Did vou love Marie Everest?’ “Il thought I did.’ “But were you going to marry her because you thought you loved her?” “T would have married -her.”’ “Did she love you?” “Yes: she loved every man she saw at that tlime.”’ Mrs. Brown-Eastes turned to her hus- band and smiled, and he indulged in an expression of sarcasm. Elmo stated that he was 26 years old at the time and that the girl was only 16. He also stated that he had found since he met his present wife that he did not love the present Mrs. Brown- Eastes. , Mrs. Brown-Eastes was placed on the stand by the plaintiff's lawyers under the Colorado statute by which an op~- posing party may be cross-examined before giving direct testimony. Before the examination had proceed- eq far the lawyers and the spectators were whispering to each other ‘She is the best witness I ever saw.”’ Couldn’t Confuse Her. Attorney J. R. Johnston of St. Louis, who had known her from childhood, was chosen for the task of examining the young woman as a witness. He had pro- pounded only a few questions when the Denver attorneys saw that no one at- torney could break down the young woman's position. Between every question the attorneys would hold a consultation before asking another. Mrs. Brown-Eastes watched them with a smile on her face, and would glance over at her husband with an expression of triumph. For over two hours she withstood the catch ques- tions composed by the combined oppos- counsel, and gave every answer quickly, so that it strengthened her side of the case. “T cannot answer that,”’ she would say when a question wag asked in re- gard to dates and upon which she was not certain whether or not it was proper to anewer. ‘I am sworn to tell the truth, and will not swear to a lie.”’ “But can't you approximate the eaded the attorney soothingly. sir.

La Pearl was the name, Eva adopted after \ske-left her foster-parents. Be- fore that she was known as Eva Beck- mann, but her real name was Koerber. Eva Beckmann attended the Laclede Sahool, Sixth and Poplar _ streets, when she was 11 years old, and continued. there unti! she was 12. She was known as the prettiest girl in the school, and many sly presents of ap- ples, candy and flowers were slipped to her desk by boy pupils. Eva liked that. Even at that age she loved admiration. She enjoyed talking to the boys and coquetting with them more than any- thing. She was especially proud of the undisputed title she held as prettiest girl in the school. Abandoned by Father. The way Eva happened to become a members of the Beckmann family, and a pupil at the school, was this: Frank Beckmann in 18% was keeping a room- ing house at 407 South Broadway. George Koerber, a widower, broken in health and very nearly at the end of his re- sources, came there to take rooms for himself and his pretty golden-haired child. Eva was then 10 years old. She took a great fancy to Beckmann. Late in December Koerber’s money gave out altogether, and he told Beck- mann he didn’t know what he was go- ing to do. Beckmann suggested that Koerber let him adopt the child. Koer- ber consented on the condition that he should be allowed to see her as often as he pleased. Eva seemed delighted with the transfer. So new frocks were bought for her, and she began going to school. Her father called once or twice to see her, and then disappeared. She did not re- member her mother. Eva soon tired of school. ‘I'm going to quit and work,”’ she told her foster- father. He tried to dissuade her, but her from ws v Annie Eva La Pearl Married to Avoid Working in a Department Store—Divorced After a Year She Found Way to Wear Good Clothes Without Work—Poison Ended Career she was unshaken in her decision, and She took a place in a downtown de- partment store. She seemed contented for several years. Youths in the neigh- borhood paid her much attention. She was quite the prettiest girl about Pop- lar- street. Married te Quit Work. When Eva was 17 she grew tired of work. It Coe so much of her time that might haVe been spent queening it over the susceptible youths of the neigh- borhood. “Why should I work?’ she asked Beckmann, “It makes my hands ugly.”’ “I spent a great deal on you when you went to sehool. I can’t afford to spend very much now,” he told her. “You can always have a home here. But you seem to want lots of pretty clothes. And if you are to have those I guess you must keep on working.”’ “Rather than do that, I'll marry,” Eva told him. Of all the young men who admired her extravagantly she liked best Louis Potts, a young musi- cian who played in summer gardens, and they were wedded a few months later. In a year they were divorced. Eva did not ponder long over her re- newed probiem of keeping her hands pretty and having pretty clothes, too. She drifted farther and farther from her foster parents, who loved her deep- ly, and were grieved that she would not return to live with them. But they saw her frequently and she was always showily dressed, anc she seemed happy. Not Happy After All. Last Saturday night they learned that she wasn’t happy, after all. She came to the home and was given a warm wel? come. Sitting with her foster father's hand in hers, she told him she was un- happy. “I don't want to go back to that room. It’s just four walls—it isn’t a home. It’s so lonely—and—oh, I’m afraid to go back. I don’t want to go there tonight.’ Mrs. Beckmann begged her to stay with them, and she said she would. She made no mention of having quarreled with a young man, to which some of those who roomed in the house attrib- uted her despondency. She seemed more cheerful decided to stay with the after she Beckmanns, bur later In the evening she altered her and they could not dissuade returning to her room.

Although formally invited by the Cen- tral Trades and Labor Uniow to be in- formally represented at their union's meetings, the Presbyterian Ministers’ Association has decided to drop the la- bor delegate idea, and Rev.

There was a heated debate on the question at Monday's meeting, one of the ministers declaring that the action of the union in declining to accept Mr. McClusky as a delegate was a “slap in the face.’’ Others argued that the union had a perfect right to say who should sit in their meetings. Mr. McClusky made an effort to have a permanent labor committee apointed to study labor provlems, but the proposition was de- feated. WILL J.

Tuesday Ethel Hartsock had changed her mind and she said that she would like to tell her side of the story fully through the Post-Dispatch. She wrote and signed the statement which appears elsewhere and which is her versionof the affair.

Husband's Story of Folly. Though MsFarlin has lost the posi- tion that he has held for many years, he says that he feels a relief that he ,is now free from the mental load that (he has carried for more than two years. { “! have been a fool,” he said, ‘‘and l have paid for my folly. I am deeply sorry that I have caused suffering to innocent persons, and I am sorry that Il have disappointed my friends. But I am not ashamed of the final step that I took in an effort to correct a wrong. “Il have told my story, to my attorneys and to the authorities of St. Louis County. The affair is a matter of pub- lic record and it speaks for itself. 1 do not care to discuss it further.” The story as told to Prosecuting At- torney Rowland L. Johnson and Circuit Judge McElhinney in Clayton, story of a man’s folly and repentance. McFarlin said that he had met Ethel Hartsceck and had become infatuated with her. He had known her about a year when se asked him to marry her. He said that she knew that he had a wife, but that she said that she wanted to be married to “square herself’’ with her father and that he could give an assumed name. He says the woman was then living at the Manhattan Ho- tel, Eighteenth and Locust streets. One day in February, 1904, McFarlin, while drunk, went to Clayton and the two were married. He gave the name of John H. McDermont and said that he lived in Chicago. A few hours later when he was sober he realized what a foolish thing he had done, but it was too late to retreat. He said that he never lived with the second wife, that he continued to live with his legal wife whom he deeply loved. The other woman began bother- ing him and continued to make requests for money. He did not dare refuse be- cause of her threats to begin suit for divorce or to have him arrested for fail- ure to support her—steps "which would have brought the affair to light. Ten davs ago the woman made a de- mand on MeFarlin for $500. He could not pay any such sum and he went to see Attorney Frank Carter. He told the entire story, fully and frankly, to the attorney. “Go home and tell your wife,” said the lawyer. ‘That is the first thing to be done. If she can forgive you perhaps the State of Missouri can af- ford to be lenient.” McFarlin went home and made his confession.

McFarlin was arraigned, admitted his guilt and was fined $500, the smallest fine the law al- lows that is not coupled with Imprison- ment. He might have been sent to Jail for three months and fined $100 or he might have been sent to the Peniten- tiary for five years. He paid the fine and hurried from the courtroom.

Miss., -May 15.—Taken from her home by whitecaps, who first fired into the house and wounded her father; strung up twice to a tree and left hanging until she was considered dead; dragged into the woods and de- posited in an improvised tomb of brush and leaves—such is the little adventure through which Mrs. Hattie McIntosh, a white woman, charged with complicity in the murder of her husband, passed last night, according to her own state- ment to the police. Mrs. McIntosh lives in Monroe County, about eight miles east Okolona. The headless body of her husband was found several days ago and the woman was arrested. She was held to the grand jury in bonds of $500. Last night, she says, a posse of white men surrounded her home and demand- ed that she come out. She refused. The posse fired a volley through the windows. One of the bullets, she al- leges, struck her@father in the neck, Then the whitecaps rushed the house and seized Mrs. McIntosh. “They carried me to a tree, placed a rope around my neck and threw the end over a branch, said the woman. “Then they told me that unless I told all J knew 2bout the murder of my husband they would lynch me. I replied that I knew no more about it than they knew. Several men seized the rope and drew me.from the ground. “After a while they let me down and asked me again to confess. I insisted that I had told the truth at the trial, and could add nothing to my statement. LYNCHED: THEN BURIED, LIVES They swung me from the ground a sec- ond time. I became unconscious, but when the rope was removed from my neck I heard one of my assailants pro- nounce me dead.’ Mrs. Mcintosh claims she was carried into the woods, where her body was covered with brush and leaves, After the posse, departed she made-her way to her home, and this morning she came to Oklahoma to tell her story to the police. They are investigating. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 15.— James A.

The five desperadoes: broke into the stores of John Gordon and 8S. & M. Calvert of Russellville, and got away. with over $300 in plunder. In the Cal- vert store is also t&e village postoffice and the robbers were preparing to blow open the safe with dynamite when they were discovered. Excitement and confusion followed in the scramble of the bandits to escape. Herbert Clavert, son of, the postmas- ter, who had been hiding on the roof on account of a previous robbery, sur- prised the men while at work on the safe. He locked them in and sounded an alarm arousing almost the entire vil- lage. Smashing doors and windows in the rear of the building the thieves made a desperate effort to escape and the police and citizens started in pursuit. A number of shots were exchanged by the posse and fugitives, three of whom finally were surrounded and their escape cut off. Roy Kimms, Fields Connerd and Robert Bal, young farm- ers who heretofore have borne good reputations, were captured. RAN DOWN A BOY, FINED. Charles L. Kronmueller of 3831 Cot- tage avenue, a grocer, was fined $100 by Judge Tracy in the City Hall Police Court Tuesday for reckless driving. Kronmueller was in a spring wagon, April 22, when he knockéd down John Hubenschiot of 5620 Easton avenue in front of the boy’s home. The boy was not seriously hurt, and did not make any complaint. The policeman in the case said that that Kronmueller’s horse increased his speed after the accident. Kronmueller said there was a street ear behind him, and he couldn't stop the horse. driving too fast and that he was care- | less. Cut Out ee RS RS = . .

There were plenty of vacant lots in North §8t. Louis in those days that we could use as we pleased, and we were in our glory. If you want your boys to have clear heads and sound muscles, let them play all the baseball they want to. “If amyone will take a walk through North St. Louis this afternoon, he will see little groups of boys making a piti- ful effort to play ball in the streets. There’s no other place for them. All the time they are in dread of a policeman. They can't get healthful sport that way. Chance of a Lifetime. “If we don’t buy this place for a park now it will have been eaten up for resi- dences in another 20 years. There is no other plot of ground better adapted to the purpose. It might be made into another Central Park, such as has helped to make New York famous. It is an historic spot. It is rendered beau- tiful by nature and by art. It’s the chance of our lives. I'm for buying it.’’ Farwell Walton of 2121 North Grand avenue was the most vigorous opponent of buying the park. He said it was merely an effort to saddle a big plece of property on the taxpayers, that the land to the purchase of the park had not profited by sending Walton. as a repre- sentative. He said he had never before met a man who didn’t favor the project. Walton jumped to his feet and Presi- dent ©’ Reilly of the board rapped loudly for order. There was some confusion, and in a few minutes the meeting was adjourned. [In the corridor Walton argued loudly against buying the park. Henry Fairback also spoke against buying the property, but more moder- ately. These were the only speakers opposing the measure. Judge William C. Marshall, author of the bill on which the hearing was given, explained its terms. It is proposed for the city to pay $100,000 annually for 13 years, and then to buy outright for $467,- 000. making the total cost of the park $1,767,000. He went into details of the rea] estate valuation by which this total was reach Other apeakers in favor of the measure were George Knox, principal of the Yeatman High School, who said it would be an ideal place for the pupils; Sam Stannard, member of the House of Delegates from the Nineteenth Ward and representative of the Nineteenth Ward Improvement Association, and Statius Kehrmann, who said if the city not in a position now to make such a purchase. He said the valuation of the land at $10,000 an-acre was too high and that $7000 would be much nearer right. This, he pointed out. would cut nearly half a million dollars off the cost. DIDN'T KNOW MAIL SLOT. Chicago (Ill.) Guest Poured Water Into It. The postal authorities have exonerated a Planters Hotel guest from Chicago, 4 town in northern Illinois, of any inten- tional desire to harm mail matter by emptying water into a mail box. They have decided that, through ignorance of the mail device used by the Government he mistook the siot of the hotel mail chute for a drain and poured the water into it. The guest emptied a gallon of water in the box. Stamps were washed off let- ters and mail was otherwise damaged. This was remedied at the Postoffice.

The parents of the boy say that when he was 2 years old he fell on the floor one day, striking on the sewing ma- chine, and as he acted strangely soon afterward they concluded that he hit his head against the machine.

SUHURZ MEMORIAL SERVICE PLANNED) Former Missouri Senator Will} | Be Buried Thursday in the Tarrytown Cemetery: "| PRINCE HENRY’S MESSAGE

Brother of Emperor William Cables for News of “Rebel’s”’ Condition, Special to the Post- -Dispatch. PRINCETON, N. J.. May 15.— ae “ Ex~President Cleveland, when in- terviewed in regard to the death of Carl Schurz, gave out the fol- lowing tribute to the memory of the great philanthropist: “I look upon the death of Mr. Schurz as a national affliction. Though he had reached length of years and though his activity had waned, he was still a power and strong influence in the life and sentiment of his countrymen. To those who prized high, disin- terested patriotism, he continued to be an inspiring leader; to those who loved unflinching moral cour- age he was a constant teacher, and to those who aspired to the highest ideals in civic life he was an unfailing guide. His example and lofty career are left to us to stimulate the young to. virtuous cilulation and to encourage all in right living. Such men can ill be spared and what they leave to us should be carefully kept as a pre- Cleveland's Tribute P cious legacy.” To-Schurz’s Memory. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 15.—Carl Schurz will be buried Fhursday afternoon in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at Tarrytown, where his son Herbert is buried. There will be private and informal service for members of the family at the Schurz residence in the afternoon. The services at the grave will be sim- ple. At a date not yet fixed, probably In the next ten or twelve days, a memorial meeting will be held in Carnegie Hall. Just after the doctors announced that Schurz was dead a cablegram was re- ceived from Prince Henry of Prussia, the Emperor’s brother, asking for news of the patient. A dispatch was at once sent to the Prince announcing Schurz's death. Carl Bitter, the sculptor, took a death mask. Edward L. Preetorius received a dis- patch from St. Louis saying that meet- ings in memory of Schurz were being held in Chicago and Cincinnati. Major-General Julius Stahel, veteran not only of the American Civil War, but of Kossuth’s wars in Hungary, was one of the oldest friends and comrades otf Carl Schurz—‘‘Gen. Schurz’ to him. Stahel and Schurz had been friends be- for the Civil War, joined by the com- mon bond of their part in the European disturbances of 1848. Gen. Stahel him- self is $1 years old now, a small, erect man, white haired, but without a wrin- kle on his dark skin. For several years he has lived in the Hoffman House. Yesterday morning he went up to the Schurz house, as he has’ been going daily since Schurz’s illness, and found crepe on the door. “He was a great man,”’ said Stahet “A great soldier, too, with a courage that had nothing spectacular about it. But above all he was a good friend. I know and I have the papers to prove that.’ He went to an escritoire and drew out an old wallet. From that he took a let- ter which had dropped to pieces with age and been patched together with transparent paper. Holding it in his hand, he went on: “We were in winter quarters in Vir- ginia in 1863. One morning the Philade!l- phia papers came to us with the list of recommendations for promotion to Ma- jor-General. The name of Schurz was on it, but mine was not, although it had been understood, when he took the command of the Eleventh Corps and 1 of the cavalry reserve, that I was in line for promotion to Major-General. “"That is not right,’ said Schurz when he saw the list. The next day he came back with this letter.’ Wanted to Resign. Gen. Stahel handed over the letter. It read: “To His Excellency the President-— Dear Sir: I have just seen a Philadel- Phia Inquirer which published a list of your nominations for major-gener- alships, containing my name, but not that of Gen. Stahel. You remember the conversation we had upon that subject and my emphatic declaration that I would not be in any manner in Gen. Stahel’s way; that he yielded to me the command of the Eleventh Army Corps, Satisfied with the command of Cavalry reserve; that I accepted sacrifice if he could be made a Major- General as well as myself. You formed me kindly that this would be done. If there are circumstances pre- venting Gen. Stahel’s nomination to- gether with mine, I feel in yesterday. quiet, steel

You will pardon me for this, for it has al- | ways been my principle to be true to my friends and to Stand to a word! once given. I would much rather command the Eleventh Corps as a Brigadier-General, or not command it at all, than wear the two stars, set- ting aside a man who is worthy of preferment and deserves my friend- ship, and to whom I had the honor to carry your promise of promotion. Yours very truly, C. SCHURZ.” Gen. Stahel put back the letter in the wallet. “Gen. Schurz left the letter with me.’ he continued. “He begged me before ® left to send it to the President. I kept it for two days, and thought it all out. 'y wanted the promotion, but I could not | bring myself to accept such a sacrifice. 43 after two days I told Schurz about iit. He begged me to send it and kept begging me, and so things went untt! March, when along came my promo- tion, too, “Well, after Gen. Stoughton was cap- tured by the Confederate President Lincoln sent for me to take command before Washington. We had a talk at the time, and he spoke of Schurz. Then I brought out that letter, which I had been carrying on me, and showed it to him. The President read it through. “*“May I keep this?’ he asked when he had finished. “IT told him that I wanted it for my- seif if he did not care, but that I would give him a copy. “He said: ‘It was a noble thing to do. It was just like Schurz, too,’ and ever Since I have always carried this letter with me.’’ Gen, Stahel was fumbling through the wallet. He found presently what he was after—a piece of an old army regis- ter of 1863 bearing the heading ‘'Major- Generals." “Another one to cross off,’ he said, are bing fast."’ a i vey mee ch ce bine

KEPT NEAR SHORE Steamer Vigilanca Arrives at Havana With Cargo Badly Damaged. HAVANA, May 15.—The Ward line steamer Vigilanca, which was report- ed from Cape Lookout May 12 to be on fire, reached this port from New York today, one day late. The delay in her arrival was caused by the precaution in keeping her near the shore during the fire, which was under control on Saturday evening and which, it ap- pears, was chiefly confined to the ship’s stores in the forward part of the vessel, all of which were prac- tically consumed. Her cargo also was badly damaged by flooding the holds with water. The loss is not known and will not be ascertained until the Board of Sur- vey appointed by the American Vice- Consul is made public.

MOTHER-iN-LAN Woman Accused in Divorce Suit of Putting Hair in Pancakes,

USED PARENTAL RECIPE Mrs. Luella Robertson Says There Was No Hair, but Cakes Were Stringy. To the fact that she heeded the ad- vice of her mother-in-law respecting the preparation of pancakes, Mrs. Luella Robertson of St. Louis attributes the divorce suit brought in Chicago by her husband, Arthur Robertson. The hus- bang alleges that his wife put hair into the pancakes with which he was served on one occasion. Judge McEwen, be- fore whom the case was heard in Chi- cago, says he must consult authorities to see if this complaint constitutes ground for a decree, and has taken the case under advisement. Pancakes were the foundation of the trouble. Robertson was particularly fond of them. When his wife’s offering was placed before him he declared that they were held together with hair. As a result a divorce suit was insti- tuted in, Chicago by the husband and Judge McEwen has taken the case un- der advisement. Arthur Robertson married Miss Luel- la Hook in May, 1904, and they went to live in a flat on North Eleventh street. All went well for several months, until Robertson’s mother came down from Mount Carroll, Ill., to visit them, says Mrs. Robertson. The elder Mrs. Roberston thought the young people were living beyond their means, according to her daugnter- in-law. The mother-in-law triumphed and a cheap flat was rented. Pancakes Caused Separation. Other things happened, but with the pancake episode came the the end of wedded life for the Roberstons. The young wife says she had made the cakes from pancake flour, but the mother-in-law insisted the old-fash- ioned yeast method was the better and the younger Mrs. Roberson thereafter made them that way. When the cakes were served, the young wife even now confesses, they were hardly a success. They did not have hair on them, she declares, al- though the husband so declared at the time, but they were stringy, the wife explains. Then, Mrs. Roberston asserts, her al- lowance was cut so short that she could not buy enough food for the three. Then it was, in December, 1904, she left her flat and went back to her mother’s home at 1413 Obear avenue, St. Louis. Robertson and his mother went to their former home in Mount Carroll, and then the husband went to Chicago, where he instituted divorce proceedings. Mrs. Roberston is a bookkeeper in a downtown mercantile establishment. She is 28 years old. Her religious be- lief has always been against divorce, and, for that reason, she has not sought a decree.

DOG POUNCES ON BABY. Aunt, Aged 15, Rescues Bitten Girl of 3. | Baby Helen, 3-year-old daughtér of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Demser of 152% East De Soto avenue, is in a serious con- dition at her home from the attack of a dog owned by William Behring of 1904 East De Soto avenue. The child's in- juries are a lacerated ear, a gash near

| the left eye and deep bites in the right r shoulder and left arm. That her injuries are not more serious is due to the courage of her 15-year-old aunt, Bessie Dumser, who fearlessly beat off the dog and rescued the child. The two had gone to the Behring home to play with a woolly lamb, While they were watching the antics of the animal, Baby Helen wandered over to the dog, which was tied near the gate. The dog immediately sprang on her. Motorcycle Caused Runaway. John Schneeberger of Houser Springs, Jefferson County, will probably die of injuries he suffered in a fal] from his buggy, which was overturned by the frightened horse when a motorcycle passed.

Ives, director of the School of Fine Arts, at a meeting of the Twentieth Century Art Club, held at the Washington Hotel in celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the museum. The establishment of a $25,000

‘endowment was announced by Mr. Ives, and the income from this is to be used to purchase works of American artists, whether executed at home or abroad. The announcement of the establish- ment of the endowment came as a sur- rice, and was greeted with applause y the banqueters. It will yield a yearly income between $5000 and $10,000. The endowment will be known as the New American Picture Endowment Fund. Three important works added to the col- lection within the last few days are by Horatio Walker, Dwight W. Tryon and Thomas W.

Must Go Unless He Proves He Believes Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. DENIED THE DIVINITY

Declared Jesus Was Joseph's Son and Deplored Belief to Contrary. ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 15.—The verdict in the heresy trial of Rev. Dr. Algernon 8. Crapsey, pastor of St. An- drew’'s Protestant, Episcopal Church at Rochester, N. Y., was delivered to the accused minister today. Four of the five jurors sign the following finding: “That the respondent shall be sus- pended from exercising the functions of the church until such time as he shall satisfy the ecclesiastical authorities of the diocese that his belief and teach- ing conform to the doctfines of the Apostie’s Creed und the Nicene Creed as this church hath received the same. ‘However, we express the earnest hope and desire that the respondent may see his way clear, during the thirty days that under the canons of the church must intervene before sentence can be pronounced, to establish to the full satisfaction of the ecclesiastical au- thorities of such conformity on his part. “W. C. Roberts, C. H. Boynton, G. 8S. Burroughs and John Mills Gilbert. Life emplary. The charges against the minister con- cerned only his teachings. His morals and his private life were admitted by the prosecution to be exemplary. “This fact,"’ they declared, ‘‘makes his false teaching more dangerous than if his life were evil.’’ The charges of false teachings against Dr. Crapsey were based on sermons he haa delivered, in which he declared the following dicta: Said Jesus Was Joseph's Son. 1. “Jesus was born of parents belong- ing to the middle class.”’ ? He was born of a simple father and mother.”’ 3%. “He was the son of a carpenter.’’ 4. “The fact that the early Christians predicted a miraculous birth to Christ was to be regarded as one of the great- est misfortunes that had ever befallen mankind.”’ The trial began April 26 and many prominent lawyers figured for prosecu- tion and defense.

HALF-RATE

A. G. Cochran of Missouri Pa- cific Says “It’s Best for All Concerned.”

IS LIKELY

St. Louis Delegates Are Worry- ing About the Sources of Cash, “Pay fare or stay at home” is the ultimatum issued by the managers of all railroads in. Missouri to politicians who desire free transportation to the Democratic and Republican conventions soon to be held at Excelsior Springs and Jefferson City. The announcement that the railroads have decided to “pass up the _ politi- cians'’ on the pass proposition this year means a saving to those corporations, according to one official, of $76,000. A. G. Cochran, vice-president and gen- eral solicitor of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain railroads, said to a Post- Dispatch reporter that the _ railroads would probably make a low rate for the various conventions, “We have concluded, however.”’ said Mr. Cochran, with qujet emphasis, ‘‘not to give any free transportation this year. “That is not only our understanding, but that of all the railroad companies. I think the rule is the best for all con- cerned, both the railroads and the poli- ticians. “As to the reasons impelling the rail- roads to take this action, I hardly think they need be stated. Low Rate the Solution, “The passenger department will take up at once, if it has not already done so, the question of a low rate to the con- vention cities. This we consider the cor- rect solution of the so-called pass evil.’’ Mr. Payne, assistant general passen- ger agent of the Missouri Pacific, re- ferred the reporter to the Wabash of- fices, where it was stated by Mr, Tay- lor of the passenger department that the Wabash had decided to put tin a half rate to the Democratic judicial convention ut Excelsior Springs, May 22. That means that every one of the 1160 delegates who will sit in that con-’ vention will have to buy his own rail- road ticket or get someone else to buv it for him. The question as to who will put up the cash is causing consid- erable worry among the St. Louis dele- gates. There wil be i61 delegates from St. Louis at the Excelsior Springs conven- tion. ‘The half-fare rate per person is $8. The cost, therefore, of sending the entire St. Louis delegation to Excelsior Springs, counting railroad fare alone, will be $1300. Heretofore the railroads have almost invariably paid the freight. Neither the St. Louis Democratic Club ! nor the Jefferson Club has a fat treas- ury at the present time. Since many delegates insist they are not going to the conventions if they have to pay tare, it is considered probable that a number of proxies will be used. At a recent meeting of the Republican the railroads not to furnish free trans- poriation to delegates was unanimously adopted. But few of the politicians took the resolution seriously. They had heard such resolutions be- ' fore and they figured that the rail- roads would not dare to abolish its deadhead political list. W. 8S. Anthony, former Assistant United States District Attorney at Sst. Louis, now living in Farmington. who is one of the prominent Folk leaders in Missourl, discussing the new order of the railroad companies, said: “it is a good thing but I don’t think it will prove popular with all the boys. i know of no reason why delegates to political conventions shouldn't be quired to pay railroad fare. “It is refreshing to note that at last the railroads are waking up to the fact that the people want them to get out of politics and stuy out. “To delegates from interior districts the item of transportation will be con- siderable. The new rule means a saving of thousands of dollars to the railroad re- companies.”’

HIS BOND FORFEITED. Substitute Mail Carrier Accused of Rifling Letter. James R. Boquett, former substitute mail carrier over the rural delivery route from Weliston to Pattonville, failed to answer when the case against him was called in the United States District Court Tuesday, and District At- torriey Dyer asked that his bond be for- feited, and that the Court issue a ca- pias for him. Col. Dyer said he understood that Ro- quett wished to plead guilty and would withdraw his request for bond forfeit- ure if it were ascertained that Boquett had not understood what morning he was to appear. It is charged that Boquett rifled a let- ter addressed to Mrs. Margaret Ives of Red Croft, Wellston, Postoffice, May 27, 1906 RESOLUTION TABLED. No Censure for Mulvihill for Political Activity, Resolutions censuring Excise Commis- sioner Mulvihill for participating in the recent Democratic primary election as member of a delegation in the Twenty- eighth Ward and asking for his resig- nation as chairman of the Ward Or- ganization Committee of the Jefferson Club, were defeated last night at a meeting of the Democratic City Central Committee. The resolutions were intro- duced by John J. (Stlver) Burke of the Sixteenth Ward. The resolutions caused a prolonged de- bate, in which nearly all the members of the committee joined, It was the sense of the meeting that the City Committee had no rieht meddling with the affairs of the Jefferson Club. hence the tabling of Burke's resolutions.

Senator Gorman a Liar, Said Roosevelt. Perhaps the most stinging at- tack President Roosevelt ever aimed at any man's veracity was made during a speech at Balti- more, when Mr. Roosevelt had this to say about Senator Arthur Pue Gorman of Maryland: “Tf caught Senator Gorman in an ugly falsehood. A falsehood that could be best described in the Auglo-Saxon word of three letters.’’ In addition to Senator Gorman and ex-Senator Chandler, President Roosevelt has accused the following men of false statements: Senator Thomas C. Platt, Judge Alton B. Parker, Herbert W. Bowen, ex- Minister to Vénezuela; Henry M. Whitney of Boston; John F. Wal- lace, formerly chief engineer of the Panama Canal Commission, and George O. Shields, president of the LAL, © By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 15.—After 48 lhours of cogitation, conference, consul- ‘tation and of presidential mountain la- ‘bor in the Chandler-Tillman-Bailey ‘charges of breaking faith, the White | House brought forth a mouse. } President Rooseelt issueg a statement

lgiving his version of the various meet- |ings ex-Senator Chandler had with him ‘in reference to making a combination with the Democrats for the support of a limited court review in the Hepburn Lrailway rate bill. In that statement, which is pronounced by official Wash- ington to be the weakest public docu- ment the President has ever written, or for him, the President lraises a new question of veracity be- tween himself, Chandler and Tillman. He asserts that Chandler came to him of his own volition as Senator Tillman's agent, instead of going to Tillman as the President's agent. The President also implies that Tillman lies when he says Chandler came to him as_ the President's go-between. Most remarkable of all, the President absolutely ignores the fact that there have been any changes or additions to the original Allison amendment, which gold brick he bought at the offering: of Senator Aldrich, although his own fol- lowers in the rate fight added five new propositions to that amendment. Furthermore, the President makes no reference to the statement made by Chandler that he said Knox, Spooner and Foraker were delaying and trying to defeat. the bill by ingenious consti- tutional arguments. This was the para- graph in the Tillman statement which brought out the statement from the President. transmitted to Senator Lodge by telephone on Saturday, that ex-Sen- ator Chandler was a deliberate and un- qualified falsifier—in concise English, a

going on until late in the afternoon of that day, when he was told by Tillman and Bailey what the President had done —that he had thrown over the Demo- crats and made null all the negotiations between Moody and the Democrats, to which Moody had committed himselt and his principal, the President, in writ- ing. Moody “Flabbergasted.” “T am flabbergasted,’’ Moody said, when Tillman and Baiiey told him how the President had shifted. Then he left town, feeling the need of a change of scene, and he did not return until Mon- day, when he came on telegraphic sum- mons to add his testimony to the Presi- dent's statement to help in getting the President out of the hole. Moody wrote what he was told to write. His part in it and his purposes are plainly indicated in the draft of an amendment Tillman and Bailey have, written on Department of Jus- tice paper. That writing of Moody's is nothing like the Allison gold brick amendment which the President took, and Moody is left in the unenviable position of being a willing servant who has been overruled and discarded by his master and forced to say publicly that he likes it. After a conference at Senator Bali- ley’s heene, lasting almost an hour, in which Senators Tillman and Bailey and ex-Senator William E. Chandler participated, it was decided that no statement or interview of any sort should be made public until events were developed today. Senator Tillman said regarding the insinuation of -the President that he (Tillman) had sent Chandler to see the President: “That I sent Senator Chandler to See the President cannot be denied too eniphatically. -I did not send him nor even suggest to him that he see the President as my intermediary.” At the conference at Senator Bai- ley’s home, the President's statement, together with Attorney-General Moody's letter, were gone over in all their phases. It was declared that the President's statement, so far as his charge against Senator Chandler is concerned, is a plea of confession and avoidance, and that his explanation of his position on the rate bill is suffi- cient in itself to show that he had been guilty of double dealing with the Democrats. Senator Tillman read the President's statement from a copy furnished him by the Post-Dispatch correspondent. He read it over carefully without comment, until, at its conclusion, he said: “J should be willing to submit the case to the public on these ex- hibits. I cannot see what the Presi- dent is driving at. Further than this Senator Tillman de- clined to make any statement. He was joined by Senator Chandler, who had also read the President's statement. They greeted each other jocularly, Mr. Chandler insisted that Mr. Til!- man make no statement until after Sen- ator Bailey had been consulted in the matter. Both went to Bailey's home. Chandler to Explain. Senator Tillman admitted that he had been urging Senator Chandler to pre- pare and issue a statement of his con- nection with the whole affair and to dea] particularly with the statement of the President to Senator Lodge on Saturday afternoon that he, Chandier. was a ‘‘de- liberate and unquatitied falsifier.”” Sen- ator Chandler wili probably have this statement ready before night. Chandier’s statement of the various conferences between himself and the President, Attorney-General Moody and Senator Tillman is still in the possession of Senator Tillman, who sald after read- ing the President s statement that he did not believe it would be necessary to issue any more of it. Senator Tillman feels that the charges ne made in the Senate on Saturday have been fully sub- stantiated by that portion of Senator Chandler's statement printed yesterday, particularly as the President did not un- dertake to reiterate his charge of lying made against Senator Chandler. Senators Tillman and Bailey, as wel} as Senator Chandler, are astonished at the mildnéess of the President's state. ment. They expected that he would try to justify his charge of Saturday, in- stead of ignoring It.

YORK PAPERS CONDEMN ROOSEVELT FOR CRYING “LIAR”

res Political Friends and ,Foes Unite in Declaring His Attack on Chandler’s Veracity Ill-Advised—Republican Organ Says He Has Been Convicted of Bad Faith. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 15.—All the papers here give much space to the controversy between President Roosevelt and ex- Senator Chandler at Washington. Only two papers fail to have editorials on the subject. Not one of consequences comes to the President's defense editoriaily. Whether or not their experiences with Mr. Roose- velt when he was Police Commissioner and Governor has anything to do with their attitude now is problematic, but Mr. Roosevelt often denied alleged in- terviews flat-footedly. Among their com- ments are: From the World: Branding statements people as deliberate and falsehoods become easy with Mr. Roosevelt. * * * conversation Mr. Rooseve't Senators so freely that it must be dif- ficult for him to remember what he said at any particular time about any parti- cular person. aah A President of the United States is ex-officio a person of unimpeachable veracity.

A President of the United also above political trickery. would seem that he had deliberately be- trayed certain of his followers the pre- that they took is it States W hen sumption must always be too much for granted. If anybody but Mr. Roosevelt had dealt the cards we might agree that the pres- ence of six aces in the deck Was a sus- picious circumstance, but, aS we have already said, a President of the United States is incapable of political thimble- rigging. It must have been “a square deal.’ even if the eards came from the bottom of the pack. As for the Demo- crats, they must have 4 new appre- ciation of the ancient admonition about the Greeks bearing gifts The Evening Post: | It is painful to every aes ae the President involved in A Nery on a personal veracity. ° But the om wonder is that such an unhappy _ has not ere this befallen the yrvenige - leas taiker that ever !!v ed in the hite House.’ as an old piece has charac- ooseveit. One aoe page is depressing. At best it shows that the President talks 80 much that he forgets what he has said, and that what he forgets no longer ex- ists for him. As one of his close friends explains it, matters too often “his mind slips a repudiating what tho with him think he 8a lentiy, uses no shade 3 language, but roundly accuses them of gross lying.

Arnd and Joseph J. : ; ; Vantage is to be gained is in the fore- ground. It is not the President of the U'nited States who will be on trial this week, but rather a politician, who, from the vantage of the White House, has traded with this side and with that, us- ing members and ex-members of the Cabinet as messenger boys, dealing with Democrats and with both factions of the Republican party and finally caught in the trap af rs, pan and caged there or the regretful gaze of a mortified na- tion. The Press (Republican): For the honor of the country and the dignity of the presidential office we hope very deeply that Senator Lodge, acting as messenger boy in conveying the President's accusation against Mr. Chan- dier, misunderstood what was said to him over the telephone. Otherwise Mr. Roasevelt will be left in a position which in any public man, and most of all the President of the United States, is dis- tressingly humiliating. His predicament is bad enough as it is. for a case of bad faith has been proved against him by Messrs. Tillman, Chandler and Bailey. Brooklyn Eagle: There its no court or jury that. in these circumstances, would not accept the testimony of the President’s con- fidential and chosen intermediary, Mr. Chandler, against the President him- Self. especially as Mr. Chandler. an appointee of the President, may be re- moved from office by the President for sustaining the Democratic Sena- tors in their statements. The Presi- dent should re-examine the data in order to refresh his memory, for two men as intelligent as he and Mr. Chandler cannot really differ on a question of recent facts. New York Times: We do not think the country will follow very keenly the difference that has arisen between the President and Mr. Chandler. * * * It ig a matter as to which the memory of either may easily be defective, and as to which, in the absence of a stenographer’s notes, neither ia likely to convince or convict the other. * * * The iInei- dent, in whatever light we consider it, is unfortunate. Neither the men who thought them- selves betrayed in the first instance, nor those who find themselves be- trayed at the close of this remarkable chapter of politics, can be expected to regard the President with Increased confidence or admiration * * *& It is not what he got, but how he got it that matters. He may as- severate that he won a signal tri- umph; he may even believe it: he may insist that he “always comes dowa- Stairs that way,” but the essential point which bids fair to linger in many minds Is the accusation brought against the President by those he had invited to trust him-—that he has he- trayed them and been tricked by his eld party friends.

atent leather shoes, who stood at his eft shoulder: “Now sing out, please, young lady— I want to know just what goods you've got to offer us.” Whereupon the young woman opened a very pretty pair of lips and ran the scales in a manner really de- lightful to hear—and thus did _ the summer season at Delmar open Mon- day, although “The Isle of Cham- pagne” ian't billed for its formal pro- duction until Sunday, May 27. But the chorus was being engaged—and that’s a big part of the work. Darling was tremendously tickled with the voice of the first applicant, nodding his head enthusiastically when she had finished, and jotting down on a memorandum slip opposite her name the fact that she was 5 feet 8% inches in height, blond and good- looking. Then he glanced up again at the 40 or more young women walting their turns, ‘‘Next, please,’ he said, reading a name from the list, and, as its owner stepped forward, again striking the scale-notes on the piano at which he sat. The second young woman let out a squawk like a frightened crow. “Ah—ah—er-r-r-—that’ll do!” ex- claimed Mr. Darling, hurriedly. ‘Step — please, and I may call you again ater.” Tall, Short, Fat and Lean. And thus it went from that time forward—good voices and bad, indif- ferent and worse, ageous girls, a ning the scgles and the gauntlet of Musical Diréctor Darling at the piano in rapid succession, The rafters away up above the big Delmar stage fairly rang with the echoing of feminine voices, until at last the sparrows got used to it all and came back to their nests. For there were 24 chorus girls to be engaged—also 12 chorus men, but they were not so interesting— constituting the biggest summer gar- den chorus in America, and this meant a busy day for Mr. Darling. But he took on all comers as pluck- lly as a champion prizefighter. Two pretty girls of the ‘‘Coming Thro’ the Rye” company that was at the Century last week, another from the “Sho Gun” company that had just shed its sea- son in the t, a thir nee been with May Irwon in "Mrs. lack is Back,’ a fourth who had sung in the chorus of ‘‘Mexicana’’.-~all these and more filed along past the piano, stop- ping to sing a few notes, answer a few questions and then pass on, And there were some very young and utterly un- tried novices in the lot, and some sea- soned veterans as well—one of the latter the mother of two children, both of whom had done infant ‘“‘stunte’’ with the “Touisiana”’ production of World's Fair times, and one of the novices a sweet young thing barely out of the nursery herself—so scared that she sang in a pitiful whisper. “Oh, come now!” said Mr. Darling, re- assuredly, ‘‘You’ve got a good voice if you give it a chance—let it out!’ Needed a Pacemaker. But the panic-stricken novice couldn't let it out before all those other giggling ris and horrid men—and then what you suppose Mr. Darling did? Why, he simply called out to two other giris who had sung at Delmar last season: “Flere, Clara—and you, Nellie! Come and sing with this young lady, please!’ Upon which the two unfrightened ones came and did as they were bid—and lo! The first thing you knew the novice was singing like a thrush, her voice a sweét and pure soprano. “Just look at that. now!’ cried Musi- eal Director Darling. ‘‘Don't you ever tell me again that you can't sing! Pretty soon Mr. Darling had certatn marks inst 2% certain names of the long list in his possession, and he called thefr owners out in blocks of eight. “You tall girls, now—stand up = line here at the front of the stage—and you medium-size girls. come along next— and here, you small girls, get in line there to the left.

a TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1906. A eee Goa a 4 ¥ > a en ~-a> _— ae THE ONLY CLARK. In a letter published elsewhere in this issue the Hon. Champ Clark takes the Post-Dispatch to task for starting on its newspaper rounds a paragraph referring to a gabfest on the floor of the House between himself and Gen. Grosvenor. Mr. Clark denies that he was guilty of bandying words with

Gen. Grosvenor and suggests that his name was er- | roneously substituted for that of Clark of Florida. | Indulging in painful reflections on the penalty of | greatness which suffers from careless or malicious | representation, Mr. Clark wonders how the mistake | could have Leen made. He reminds the -Post-Dis- patch that there are five Clarks in the House and Senate and he ought not be held accountable for the sins of all of them. Mr. Clark should bear in mind that prominent newspapers, like prominent public men, are frequent- ly credited with utterances which they have not uttered. We do not plead guilty to having misrep- resented Mr. Clark, but if the guilt was ours we can p'ead with a clear conscience that the error was one of accident and not design, and should be charged to enthusiastic admiration, not malice. If the Post-Dispatch actually credited any deed, speech, row, word-bandying of another Clark to Champ Clark, it would not be a cause for wonder. Mr. Clark underestimates his prominence and popu- larity in Missouri when he wonders that a mistake of this kind should be made. Missourians ..know only one Clark in Congress. They never think of another Clark doing anything in Congress worth mentioning in a newspaper. Whenever the name Clark appears in connection with Congressional pro- ceedings, whenever anything happens to.a Clark or is said or done by a Clark in Congress, whenever Clark and statesmanship are linked together in public print, only one form rises in the mind’s eye of the Missourian; that is the portly form of Mis- souri’s famous wit, humorist, writer, orator and statesman, our own Clark—Champ Clark of Pike County. in }-O——

By Thomas Healey, a Success jis an ignorant thing in its mentality and can be studied in its exact prototype in men and women. Success can never be coaxed to do what you want it to do—it must be bullied. There are many persons who will have nothing whatever to — do with those who speak softly to them. They can- not by nature understand that anyone who will speak gently can have dny strength, and there is a feeling of distrust that prevents them from being sympathetic. The same character will answer at once to a nature that speaks roughly or imperatively. A good bully always has a bigger folowing than a § man who is gentle and considerate to people, unless # as in the case of great scholars they are able to appeal to a large audience of liberal minds or a fol- lowing that thinks along the same Iines; ordinarily the bully has the best of it. Tne bully I mean isn’t |

I don’t care whether its in the lines of trade or professions. If anyone takes : any exception to this, I will ask them to run over ee in their minds the people they know personally who _ are successful and figure whether it came from gentle e : actions or by bullying.

‘no one will be | performance between Gen. Grosvenor and myself in the House. No such thing ever happened. There is not a syllable of truth in it. You substituted my name for that of Hon. Frank Clark of Florida. Most likely the substitution was accidental, for I can con- ceive of no reason why the Post-wispatch would desire to give me a dig; but, if accidental, it was a queer accident. I had no personal controversy with Gen. Grosvenor or anybody else. I have heard that he and Mr. Frank Clark of Florida had a verbal racas; but at the time I happened to be at the Navy Department looking after business of some import- ance. I do not know what they said to each other. and I do not care. All I know is that I had nothing to do with it. There are five Clarks in Congress— two in the House and three in the Senate. I am entirely willing to assume my full share of ‘the white man’s burden,’ but am not willing to load up with the shares of the four others. No doubt they feel the same way. I might not mind making vicarious atonement for the sins of Senator William A. Clark of Montana, if my check or sight draft could be cashed for as much as his. I am not writing this under tle illusion that even if you print it, the evil which you have done will be thereby undone. I know better. Scores of papers which printed your canard will never reprint the correction, simply because a great many persons delight in those things and those things only which are calculated and intended to besmirch a public man or to bring reproach upon him. That ts one of the most unpleasat features of public life and one of the most discou ng. To do right, to discharge one's duties faitMfully, courageously and with capacity and then to be misrepresented intentionally or uninten- tionally is enough to aggravate a man of even an- gelic sweetess of temper.

THE EVIL OF SECRET-RAILROAD RATES From the Railroad Gazette. Commissioner Garfield's report to the President on railroad rate discrimina- tion in favor of the Standard Oil Co. should be taken Seriously. Although it contains errors of fact, although it has been used hysterically to influence leg- islation not strictly germane, neverthe- less it officially calls attention to evil practices long known and not at al! confined to the Standard company or to the railroads named. Upon receipt of this report, the President transmitted it to Congress with a message favoring an enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It would seem to be the proper course for the President on receiving this some- what detailed report of specific viola- tions of the interstate commerce law to at once urge with all his accustomed vigor upon the Department of Justice the enforcement of that law. For 19 years it has been the duty of the ex- ecutive officers of the United States to prosecute and punish every railroad for discrimination; for charging one more or less than another for a like service. For more than three years it has been unlawful for any shipper to solicit or receive any concession. It is a statu- tory crime, a misdemeanor, punishabie by a fine of from $1000 to $20,000 for each offense. The law has already been enforced and fines imposed, which proves that it is workable. It would be much more easy of enforcement if the proper Government officers were 4uU- thorized to go without notice at any time and examine a railroad company’s records for the purpose of finding ev!- dence of violations of this anti-rebate

law. For another purpose the form of examination of national banks has worked well for many years. The anti- rebate law is designed for the protec- tion of the railroads and the smaller shippers. The railroads have found that they cannot, without the enforce- ment of this law, avoid discrimination and at the same time do justice to their stockholders, and the bill which became the law was initiated by one of the trunk lines and prepared by its own law department. When pooling was made unlawful, a law of this nature was the only one to which the railroads could turn for their own protection and the protection of their independent cus- tomers. The President undoubtedly re- fers to the anti-pooling clause when he says: “In the effort to prevent the railroads from uniting for improper purposes we have very unwisely pro- hibited them from uniting for proper purposes; that is, for purposes of pro- tection to themselves and to the gen- eral public as against the power of the great corporations. They should cer- tainly be given power thus to unite on conditions laid down by Congress, such conditions to include the specific ap- proval of the Interstate Commerce Commission of any agreement to which the railroads may come.” But there is no reasonable present hope of this anti- pocling clause being repealed. We need, and railroad officials will welcome for their own protection, a strict enforce- ment of the law against discrimination. Secret rates and rebates in any of their many forms are immoral and of im- than high measurably greater harm rates.

lay it on the table.’’ “TI will explain this to the Senator from South Carolina (Tillman),”’ said Senator Aldrich, “‘although it is Very difficult to, explain anything to fit his comprehension.”’ . Senator Gallinger introduced an amendment to the rate bill. It referred to bookkeeping by the Interstate Com- merce Commission, and was entirely pro forma. Senator Foraker came in. He had not heard anything. “‘Mr. President,” he said, ‘I don't know what this amend- ment is or who introduced it. but it ¢hould not go in the bill.”’ Kissing and Politics. From Harper's Weekly.

Give a dog a bad name and ‘hang him! Circulate a kissing story about a public man @ad finish him! The gentle intention that seems to be back of the kissing stories is to destroy the repu- tation and prospects of the man they are pinned to. A thousand newspapers printed the lies about the Hobson kiss- ing episodes and joked about them. Once those stories got well started on their course of defamation, it was im- possible to stop ‘them or refute them. Nobody knows now but Hobson himself what kernel of fact there was behind that avalanche of lies. On anything like a kissing story the new seem to seize as a hungry dog sei a bone. Such a tale told the other day of Mr. Carnegie swept the country within 48 hours. The predicament in which such stories leave their victim is that if he makes vigorous denial he seems ungallant and seems also to mag- rhify a trifle. Public opinion that frowns on men who kiss and tell inclines to deride men who are accused of kissing Their denials are easily attributed to a blushing reluctance to make ungallant admission of favors and deny it. received. It is a bad case all around for the male victim.

novelist of distinction and widow of Robert Barr—is not, in the re- motest degree, related to that Robert Barr whose novel, “A Rock in the Bal- ‘tic,”” is being published Serially in the Sunday Post- Dispatch. She is a daughter of Rev. William Huddleston and was born in Ulverston, Lancashire, England. She was married in 1850 and she came to America, lived some years in Texas and in 1869 re- moved to New York, where she has con- tinued to reside. e Robert Barr who wrote “A Rock in the Baltic’’ was born in Canada, near the United States line, and after a successful career in De- troit and New York went to London. where he now lives. Thus America and England exchanged novelists of great power. After the death of her husband Mrs. Barr wrote a novel, “Romance and Reality,”’ an apprentice work which had small vogue notwithstanding its excel- lence. This was published in 1872, but it was not until the publication of ‘“‘Jan Vedder’s Wife,’’ in 1885, that Mrs. Barr achieved fame. Then followed a series of books which successively raised her in the estimation of literary folk and enhanced her popularity. These were “A Daughter of Fife’ (1886), “A Bow o Orange Ribbon’ (1886), ‘“‘A Border Shepherdess’’ (1887), “Friend Olivia’ (1891), “Birds of a Feather’ (1893), “The Lone House’ (1894), “‘Bernicia’’ (1895), “Master of His Fate.”’ ; ‘Remember the Alamo,” “A Knight of the Nets’ (1896), “Trinity Bells’’ (1899), ‘“‘The Maid of Maiden Lane” (1900), “Souls of Pas- sage” (1901), and “The Lion's Whelp”’ (1902).

souls of their time, it is nevertheless only through expression of individual Opinion that progress is made toward a sound public opinion. Intelligent criticism of the Socialist movement cannot but lead the open mind to a clearer conception of the real distinction between what is in- dividual or private and what is so- cial or public, confusion in regard to which is by no means peculiar to So- cialists. thing as social or public, even by act of Legislature, does not make it so. Whether a mat- ter, value or function be individual and private or social and public de- pends upon whether it naturally re- lates or belongs to only one or more and not to all the individuals compos- ing the public, or to all of them. ANl men evidently sustain the same natural relation to the earth, no one having any closer relationship or Sreater claim to it than another. As it belongs, then, as much to one as to another, so must its values, which are therefore public or social. They are annually measured and paid in rent out of the total annual production of wealth and constitute the natural public revenue A man’s labor power, on the other hand, is clearly his own—an individual, private asset. When he exchanges it for the wealth it produces that wealth is no less clearly his. Nor does it mat- ter whether he makes the exchange di- rectly with nature or mediately through other men, the wealth for which he vol- untarily exchanges his labor or its product is as truly his as was the labor. Nor does this relation of individual own- ership depend at all upon the use to which he may put his wealth. He may consume it, store it, lend it to another, or use it for the production of other wealth, and yet it is still the offspring of his own will and effort and belongs to him, any law or custom to the con- trary notwithstanding. Private appropriation of the social value known as rent, ground rent, is the chief cause of the phenomenon which Marx called “surplus profit.” This same misappropriation of the nat- ural public revenue renders it necessary for the public to appropriate individual! Designating a ‘revenues or private wealth, which it does through taxation, imposed, how- ever, not with a view to recovering its own proper revenue, but to collecting. an approximately equal amount for the most part from those who have already paid the rent so misappropriated. This legalized robbery In which even the unwilling are compelled to partici- pate results in a most unnatural and jn- equitable distribution not only = of wealth, but also of natural opportunitie. for producing it, which by reason of their rental values are falsely termed wealth. This pseudo wealth constitutes perhaps the greater part of those tunes which by reason of their enor- mity are causing men to question for the moment the natural, inalienable right of private property in the prod- ucts of labor. But is an equitable distribution of wealth to be brought about by substitut- ing for the present legalized robbery of the many by the few the proposed legalized robbery of everybody for the supposed benefit of all? No man can be really benefited by being deprived of the enjoyment of any or any part of his natural rights, among which is the right to control the product of his industry. Little wealth could he ever accumulate were he denied the right to use it in the production of more—that is, capital. An equal distribution of wealth wi)! never be equitable until all men are able and willing to produce equally, a condition of humanity which it is with- in neither the province nor the power of government to bring adott. When the public shall have assumed possession and control of values and functions naturally belonging to it, sup- posed mecessity for interfering with

those belonging to individuals may no Nonger appear. When ground rent shall be appropriated to public uses and in- dustry thereby relieved from the burdens of taxation; when railways telegraphs and all other naturally mo- nopolistic utilittes shall be controlled and operated by the public, the pri- vate use of individual wealth for the production of more may no longer seem inimical to the public welfare, If there- after any private enterprise shall con- tinue to be injuriously monopolistic it will be so through the privilege of corporate power, which the public will some day cease to grant—the sooner the better.

The Peacock Feather. All the miliiners in a metropolis couldn't get some women to wear pea- cock feathers on their hats this spring, despite the fact that the plumage of the ugly footed bird is most fashionable. Beautiful as it is in itself, it has been varied by the dyers until there are some peacocks that would not know their own tails. Some of them have been made white, others all green and others given a variegation other than their own. In many cases the scissors are used to take off some of the fringiness or to make outs that will give the beautiful ‘eye’’ more prominence than ever. Women that are ordinarily most sus- ceptible to novelties are among those that spurn the peacock feathers and try to have their more daring friends take them off their hats. The reason is an old superstition, which marks peacock feathers as un- lucky. Some women will not even have peacock screens in their homes for fear of ill-luck. Different kinds of ill-luck are said to be attracted by the “eye”’ feather, one of the most common being that there will be no marriage in the home where apnea feathers are kept.

ORES SE Ba Fyfe ses ot hae Tt : z Se ees Se eT ee eae tnt ae Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, May 15.—All New England is talking of O'Brien, Rickey, Smith, Hartzell and Niles, the young players McAleer picked up for the Ravens this season. Keen judges of baseball in this district, in which perhaps there are more old baseball men of standing than anywhere else in the country, hold that when these young fellows have a year or two's experience they will be as great as the famous Keeler-Kelly-Jen- nings-McGraw combination which won #0 many pennants for Baltimore. Jimmie Collins said yesterday that he does not see how catchers are going to hold Niles on the bases when he learns to run them. The young fellow is the fastest runner ever seen here. The @enera! feeling is that he can give Harry Bay four feet between any two bases and beat him. As he is a much larger man than Bay he should be a better and more effective slider. He is green yet and cannot play the fine points of the game, but he covers a lot of ground in the field and hits right well. | -y, OBrien Doing Great Work. O’Brien is playing like a great man here. His fielding is fully equal to that of Waliace and that is talking some. And he has been hitting them to the fence, singles, doubles and triples, as he pleases. He seems to be the life of the in- field and a grand inside ballplayer, full of snap, ginger and rare judgment. But if the town thinks well of O’Brien Hartzell Smith and Niles it is in love with Rickey. His praises are in the mouth of every man who sees the games. Hitting like a fiend, fast as an ouafield- er, throwing like or Martin Bergen, noisy as old Tom Tucker behind the bat and a fellow who is always fit and in condition to catch, he has made the hit of years in Boston. His work in this series has been grand. That a young fellow from a fifth class league should jump into the breach when the old eatchers, O'Connor and §$pencer were unfit for play, catch game after game against the best teams in America and teams he never saw before is regarded as one of the wonders of baseball. Hartzell is not hitting much, but is fiélding beautifully and doing well when he gets to base. Hemphill is hitting well and covering his field but is not as keen a player as Stone, who is hitting like a fiend and playing the game to further orders. Smith Held in High Regard. Smith’s work made a great hit here. He had everything that a pitcher should have and the way he fielded his position was a lesson to the vet- erans., McAleer tells a story about Smith which demonstrates the manhood there is in the young fellow. “T got Smith through drafting John Ganzel,” said Jim. “John did not want to leave Grand Rapids, and aft- er a long talk I agreed to waive draft. But I demanded that in re- turn he tell me the best pitcher in his league. ““Smith of Dayton,’ he said. ‘! drafted Smith. When we sent him a contract in the spring he wrote us the shortest, sharpest, yet politest and most complete letter I ever read. He said, in effect, that he did not like the salary offered, but that he was a good pitcher, but recognized the fact that we did not know it, that he would have to prove it, that he would do so and that when he did he expect- ed a commensurate increase in salary. He told all this in half a dozen words. A Sensible Ball Player. “te worked hard in the spring sea- son, but did not show much. He was the only man who lost to the other St. Louis club in the seven games we played it. He was hit hard, too. I was sorry that he did not do better as I liked him and his hard working ways very much, yet it did seem like all he had was energy and ambition. I feared it was all up with him when he said to me: “Mr. McAleer, I know I have not shown up well this spring. I have pitched poor ball, but I assure you I am a good pitcher. I know you are think- ing of letting me go. Very well. I know it will come right in time and I will turn up all right, but you will make a mistake if you release me. I will come around soon. ‘‘What could I do after a straight, manl ytalk like that? I put him in to finish a game Glade had lost against Chicago and he turned up curves and speed and a spitball that I never thought he had. He held the Sox down to a hit or two and we batted out enough runs to overcome the big lead they gained off Glade. Then I worked him regularly since and he has not lost a game of the five he has pitched in the championship race. Best of all, he is a man in every way, appearance, sense

and conduct.”’

Now, as St. Charles won two games out of three from St. Louis U., and the local boys defeated Cape Girardeau’ three straight, which is the best team of the three? Lon Fitzporter, besides being a hand- ball and baseball player. prides himself on gentler accomplishments. One of these is the fine art of elocutionary ex- ressicn. On Monday night at the St. #uis University Fitzporter captured second prize by his rendition of Inger- soll’s ‘“‘At the Tomb of Napoleon.”’ In the rear of Library Hall, where the contest was held, were several of the erack athletes of the university who came to cheer on Fitzporter. When it Was announced that he had won second rize saad clapping drowned out that of otners. The annual field day of the Christian Brothers’ College will be held next Saturday on the Cote Brilliante campus. Monday the Brown football men in- augurated the first spring practice in their history. The practice consisted of light work, and was chiefly for the pur- of study of the new football rules. ew formations made possible by the new order of things were tried. Yale defeated Holy Cross Saturday, 10 to 9, in the scrappiest game of inter- Collegiate baseball ever played in Wor- oester, Mass. Capt. O’Brien took his team off the field in the third inning, owing to a decision made at the plate by Umpire Kelech of Holy,Cross, but was uaded to play again after half an : r’'s argument. Umpire Beecher of ale was mobbed by the crowd in the ninth inning after giving a close de- cision in Yale's favor at second base Both sides kept up a continuous wrang- ling throughout the game. Yale's marksmen won the _ intercol- legiate shoot against University of ee, Princeton and Harvard Mondayby @ margin which was almost a. walkover. The final scores stood: Yale, 212; University of Pennsylvania, 191; Princeton, 187; Harvard, 179. Chicago-and Northwestern universities met-in a two board team match Satur- day at the rooms of the Chicago Chess and Checker Club. In the afternoon games Edmund Jacobson (N. W. de- feated Max B. Leviton (C.), and Allie Lee Pendergrass (C.) defeated M. B. Grossman (N. W.). In the evening games Mr. Pendergrass repeated his performance and Mr. Leviton also won, thus giving the victory to Chicago by 3 tol. Both universities intend to have a larger team at the next match. eee Only. the most.optimistic figuring can lay claim to victory for Yale in the dual track meet with Harvard next Saturday. Harvard has an advantage of a few points on a prediction based purely on form shown by her athletes this year, and when the fact is taken into ac- count that the games are to be held at Cambridge, the Harvard advantage shoulda be boosted several points more. A forecast regarded as liberal to Yale gives her only 50 points to 54 for the Crimson. The Harvard team is bigger and more formidable all along the line this year than for years, although a college generation has come and gone without seeing Harvard wrest a dual meet from Yale. Yale has won the cup offered in the dual competition four times and needs only another victory to hold it permanently. Harvard has only two victories toward the cup and will noth clinch it if she wins this sea- son. At the trials for the track team at Amherst, H. O. Smith of Holyoke broke the college record in the hammer throw by making 123 feet 61% inches. James A. Ten Eyck Jr., son of the Syracuse rowing coach, will be a starter in the single sculls in the American Henley, at Philadelphia, May 28.

Swimming Instructor Meffert of the Missourl Athletic Club is somewhat miffed by the action of the Athletic Board of the Missouri Athletic Com- mittee in appointing John C. Meyers to the position of swimming instructor of the club during his (Leffert's) absence in New York, from May 16 to Sept. 1. Meffert thinks that he should have been consulted about the appointment and he is not backward in declaring tnat he would not have advised that it be given Mr. Meyers, who is well known from affiliations with the Turner bodies of the city and for the promotion of wrestling. | Mr. Meffert seemed to believe that the appointment was a permanent one and that Meyers was to supersede him entirely, and Tuesday he sought Presi- dent J. H. Guyett of the Missouri Ath- letic Club and asked for an explanation of the action of the Athletic Board in appointing “Meyers. Mr. Guyett is said to have assured Meffert that he was to have charge of the swimming depart- ment of the club on his return to St. Louis in September and that Meyers’ appointment was only a temporary one. “ft do not feel that I have been treated courteously by the club in this matter,” said Mr. Meffert. .‘I have a swim- ming school in New York that nets me $2000 for three months’ work. The M. A. C. has never before rais any ob- jection to my going to New York dur- initiating precedents and new customs something should be said *2 me about the changes in my own department. fhe first I knew of the appointment of Meyers was when I was told that he had come into the bathroom and declared that he had been appointed swimming instructor of the club. He then pointed out to my _ informant what hanges he was going to make. He was going to have swing doors put in for the assurance of more quiet to the Turkish room bathers, and he was going to discharge one of tne rubbers and: engage a-porter in his place, claiming that three masseurs were too many. He had other changes in view, he said, that included swims on the river, launch trips, etc. “Naturally I was amazed, as noth- ing had been said to me about Mey- ers succeeding me.- As he had always been an acquaintance of mine, I sup- posed, too, that he would have told me that he was an applicant for the position,” Meyers says that he did not know of his appointment until he read of it in the Post-Dispatch Sunday morning. Now that I am appointed I am going to make things hum at the M. A. C. You will find me in the swimming pool from early in the morning until late at night. No special hours for me. I am going to work with and for all the members and for ny special class. “he job is a hard one the way I propose io fill it, but I believe it will be a starter for me to higher things: I cannot help what Meffert did or did not do, I have ideas of my own.” THIEVES BREAK INTO DOWNTOWN STORE Front Transom of Washington Avenue Tailoring Estab- ushment Forced.

s00DS WORTH $400 GONE Robbers Overhauled Stock, Re- jecting the Less Expen- sive Fabrics. Burglars, operating in the most care- fully policed district of St. Louis, forced a front transom of the establishment of Mills, Schneck & Dunkle, merchant tailors at 610 Washington avenue, and, selecting their booty carefully, took away bolt after bolt of silk linings and +S gas goods, estimated in all at about The robbery was discovered Monday by Henry Schneck, president of the firm, when he opened the establishment. Counters were in disarray. Bolts of cloth were scattered in different direc- tions about the floor. It was clear that the thieves had overhauled the stock on the first floor in search of the finest, and had rejected less expensive fabrics. The police theory is that the robbery was committed Sunday night, when that part of Washington avenue is compara- tively deserted. The rear windows and doors of the building were barred, and entrance through them would have been difficult. The front doors are secureti by heavy locks. But the transom, which swings on a horizontal hinge, fastens with a small latch, easy to force by an experienced burglar with proper tools. Danger of Detection. The proprietors of the concern had never considered it worth while to put a more complicated lock on the transom, because the danger of detection in open- ing it was thought to be so great as to act as the surest protection. Apparently, one of the robbers stood on another's shoulders while he pried open the transom, climbed through and opened the doors from the inside. There were no scratches on the woodwork as of a ladder. It is believed by the police that more than two took part in the theft. Tho work showed evidence of experience and forethought. The bulky booty may have been carried away in & wagon or buggy. as it would have been almost impossible for the men to carry the big bolts of cloth through the deserted streets without attracting at- tention. Detectives from Chief Desmond's staff have been detailed to the case. FORTUNE TELLER FINED. Woman Had No License Be- cause Times Were Hard.

The Cardinals and Bostons play the last game of the present series Tues- day afternoon at League Park. Mc- Closkey can make it three out of four by annexing the game. McFarland and Grady and Cy Young and Need- ham are the probable batteries. Jimmy Burke is a favorite at Kan- sas City, for he is recognized as a real live ball player who is a fighter. He is @ great man on the coaching line, and is also a terror when on the bases. Six out of the eight clubs of the East- ern League have new men playing first base this season. There are three Bannon brothers play- ing ball at present. Jimmy and George are with the Montreal club of the Eastern League and Tom is captain of the Lynn club of New England League. Danny Hoffman played a nice game on his first appearance with the New York Highlanders. “Tacks’’ Parrott, who has been play- ing ball so long that he has forgotten when he started, is with the San An- tonio club this season. Are good batsmen nervous at the plate? The instances are rare, if any at all can be mentioned. Seymour, the National League leader of last season; Lajoie, the leader of the ters’’ nearly all stand motionless at the plate and permit the pitcher to do the nervous act. It’s not because they are motionless that they are great batters, but because they show by this that they are cool and ready to let the pitcher do the worrying. Just watch now and see if the nervous one ever is a real star. A new record for put-outs was made by Tom Jones in Friday’s Ravens-Bos- ton battle. Jones made 22 put-outs. Any close observer will agree that no team in any league has so certain and absolute a cinch on last position as the Brooklyn club, which comes to St. Louis Wednesday. Every time Patsy Donovan's men win a game Brooklyn adherents nearly drop dead from heart disease. They have played at the game for nearly a month now and in that time have demonstrated that they are the jokes of the na- tional] pastime. Some one has compiled a list of oc- cupations that Waddell has adopted since becoming a professional ball player. Here they are: Left-hand pitcher, regular fireman, life-saver, machinist, actor, property man, bar- tender, billposter, applicant for di- vorce and acute angler. I'd like to gather together the baseball players Cincinnati has let. go,” said President Murphy, talking of the acqui- sition of Jack Harper, ‘‘and I'd go back to that town and beat the team repre- senting it right now.

It had better rain pretty soon if there is to be any grass on St. Louis golf links about St. Louis this season. The fair greens of all the inks which lie in the county adjacent to the city are turn- ing white with burned grass and dust from the roads. The ground is iron bound and opening in huge cracks. The putting greens are kept in good condi- tion by the hose, but after all nothing ig so good for grass as natural moisture. Glen Echo, where the svil is rich, grass strong and ground low, is suf- fering very much. The surface of the links is handled better at this club than at any other. Yet the grass is white on the high places and the ground hard as adamant. At Normandy Park, where they rolled the links hard with a big ma- chine, the earth is as hard as a baked brick, The Country Club, which is not blessed with friable soll, is in even worse condition. The same applies tv the dis- tant Field Club away up at Bissell’s Point. Things are a bit better at the Algon- quin, near Webster. Bart Adams laid the greens there according to an idea of his own. He soiled them with rub- ble, then laid clay on top of it. Water ig introduced from the bottom through the rubble. instead being sprinkled on top. This trick brings the roots of the grass down to the water and it thrives very hugely.

The writer has been for ten years a great lover and admirer. of golf. What time he could spare from the exploitation of more popular and gen- erally practiced sports has been giv- en to the Scotch game purely from love and admiration of it. He must Say that the inconsideration and uncom- municativeness of golfers, outside of Glen Echo, has proven a very great difficulty in the way of securing news for publication, The first chairman of a Greens Com- mittee in St. Louis was much opposed to the play of members of his golf club being given publicity. In fact, at the first golf club in 8t. Louis the writer believes that he is well within the limits of the facts when he says that the first order of the first chair- man of the first Greens Committee in St. Louis was that no news of golf af- fairs should be given to the press. The gentleman put it in briefer and more ex- pressive itanguage, but that was the sense of his order. Subsequent officials at that and oth- er clubs have been Somewhat less op- posed to publicity, yet the feeling that it is infra dig to seek pub- licity seems to largely pervade golf clubs outside of Glen Echo, Indeed the writer knows of one club which through its members sought some publicity. When in obedience to these expressed wishes and his own inclina- tion, duty and interest the writer visit- ed that golf club he found it a labor of Augean proportions to ob- tain news, Even the men who prayed poserty in private seemed to be fear- ul of being seen talking with a writer in public lest their fellows might ac- cuse them of seeking exploitation of their own performances. Another great ‘ifficulty experienced was that St. Louis golfers seem to be too much in- terest in playing to spare time to talk with a writer about it. They fail to appreciate the fine points of the ame in the writing about it and talk- ng about it, and want to go whack, crack, whack, from morning until night. To talk of golf requires a keen appre- ciation of the beauties of the game, and this appreciation seems tc be lack- ing in St. Louls. At least three of the local golf clubs the best friends of the reporter pass by with a curt nod and keep on ham- mering the ball. A great deal of the success of Glen Echo must be attributed to the courte- ous manner in which President Mc- Grew and his treat golf reporters. The writer visited three of the leading clubs last week. At two of them he spent the afternoon in the company of the will- ing and eager but uninformed person- age reposing in his own clothes. On Sunday morning he visited Gien Echo. In one-half hour’s time he was heartily greeted by 20 players, asked to have #4 drinks, for which he had no In- clination, but appreciated the good will which was responsible for the offers.,and secured roti sound matter to keep him writing for a month. Two years ago a share of stock in Glen Echo was worth $100. That share has a market value and Instant sale of $750 today. Three years ago One of the clubs which feared publicity had a mar- ket value of $1000 a share. That same share is not worth $40 now. It may not be that beneficent publici- ty enhanced the value of membership in Glen Echo 700 r cent and de- preciated that of t other club @ per cent, but it is none the less a strange coincidence and certainly proves that proper poneny is not deleterious to a golf club.

PECK ATTORNEY SUES. Julian Laughlin Says He Got Estate for Heir. Suit was filed by Julian Laughlin, attorney, in the Circuit Court Tues- day for attorney's fees in suits in- Volving the estate, trustees and bene-

ticiaries of the late Charles H. Peck, also in behalf of one heir. One of the suits is against a grand- son, William J. Peck: the other is for another’ grandson, Roderick A. Peck, against the trustees and beneficiaries of the estate. Attorney Laughlin alleges in his pe- tition that a complete settlement of the estate was effected by means of his services, and that $75,000 was re- ceived by William J, Peck. He says that the 10 per cent of the amount which was promised him has not been received, and for that reason files suit. Roderick A. Peck’s suit asks that the trustees be removed, that an ac- counting be ordered, and that restitu- tion be made to him from the funds of his grandfather's estate.

ADMIT GUILT AND TAKE THE PLEDGE Two Younes Women Sent to Workhouse for Stealing to Buy Beer, Thirst for beer was responsible for the crime committed by Mamie Menken and Lena Loretto that led to their incar- ceration, and to their plea of guilty in Judge Reynolds’ division of the Criminal Court, Tuesday, and to their sentence of three months in the Workhouse. When the women were arrested a few days ago each denied having robbed the: home of John Haederlein at 1207 South Seventh street. Lena Loretto de- clared that Mamie Menken had taken the clothes, which were later sold to “Sheeny Sam” for 50 cents, and the pro- ceeds invested in beer. Mamie Menken at that time declared that she had not taken anything and did not know anything about it. “We lied to Chief Desmond,” said Mamie Menken, after she had entered her plea. “‘That is, I lled to him. And so did Lena. For we were both in the job. We would not have done it if we had not both been half drunk, and we wanted more beer. We only got 30 cents for the clothes we took and we spent that for more beer. But we both have taken the pledge, and when we get out of the Workhouse, no more beer and no more stealing for either of us.’’ Both girls have been wedded and parted, and neither is quite 20 years old. Lena Loretto lives with her parents at 1212 South Third street and Mamie Men- ken with her mother at 1421 South Sec- ond street. FIRST MUNICIPAL LAUNDRY OPENED Cleveland Celebrates Event in New Bath House With Washing Contests. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., May 15.—The new municipal laundry, the first in the Unit- ed States, was thrown open to the pub- lic with ceremonies amusing, if not im- pressive. A program arranged by Chief of the. Park Police-Goldsell_ was carried out, the auditors and spectators being the city officers. There were contests in plain and fancy washing. There was a blueing contest. Three scrub teams gave washboard drills. ‘‘When the Sheets Are in the Breeze, Sweet Genevieve,”’ a song com- posed for the occasion, was sung by the Washing Powder Quartet, composed of male employes of the city , bathhouse. “Everybody Works’ was rendered by the quartet as the encore. The municipal laundry is in the new Broadway bathhouse. The city won't operate it in opposition to regular steam The laundry end of the bath- house was designed for washing towels used in the city bathhouses. The public end of the laundry is fitted up with eight modern wagsbtrays, connected with hot and cold water. Any woman who. wishes to do her laundry there may have the use of the municipal mangles and big drying room. If the demand justifies it, more washtrays will be put in at once.

They appreciate the work and time it saves them. They know from experience what little chance they had for a day off when they cooked on a coal range. | A Gas Range not only pleases the servant, but actually is a great comfort to everyone else in the house.

WORST ECZEMA.

DOCTORS EVER SAW Spread Rapidly Over Body— Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged and Scalp Looked -Dreadful — Suffered Untold Misery for Three Years—Better in Two Months | Ce el ee MARVELOUS CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES e —_ we

“My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began.to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us and some from larger places, but no one helped him a particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. I used many kinds of patent medicines before trying the Cuticura Remedies, — all to no avail. “A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I consented, when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczemia all that time, and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies; the Cuticura Soap helped as well as the Ointment. He was better in two months; in six months he was well; but I gave him the Cuticura Resolvent one year,— using twelve bottles, I think, — and always used the Cuticura Soap for bathing, and do now a good deal. He was four years old before he was well, and his skin became per- fectly fair when cured, I give you per- mission to publish this letter for I am always clad to do good whenI can. I think I have told you all there is neces- sary to tell.” Mrs. R. L. Risley,

The worst cases of catarrh are quickiy cured, simply by breathing the remedy through the pock- et inhaler that comes with every outfit. Used in this way for a few minutes four times a day, every particle of air that reaches the nose, throat and lungs is laden with germ-killing and health- giving Hyomei. The sale of the old-fashioned stomach remedies for catarrh has been reduced to almost nothing since the introdue- ‘tion of Hyomei. Druggists will tell you that their sales on this out-of-date line have fallen off at least two-thirds in the last few years, while the de- mand for Hyomei has increased as its curative powers became more widely known. The eomplete outfit, consisting of a neat pocket inhaler, a medicine drop- per and a bottle of Hyomei, costs pa one dollar, while extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents, making Hyomei the most economical, as well as the most reliable method for curing ca- tarrh.

One that ie @ success has now heen completed. An order has already been placed for 15.000 of these burners and at least (0.000 of them will be Inetalled in that many Kansas homes by early fall. This burner feeds the oll so as to nerate a gas and burnhe the gas eo that 100 gallons of oj) is equal to one ton of the best coal. It looks very much like this burner would revolutionize the fuel business in Kansas and adjoining states and will open ap in time a market for 200.000 barrels of oll daily for domestic purposes in the Missouri Valley. it makes Kansas and In- dian Territory crude too valuable to feed great 1 time will break the grip of the oppressive ou Trust. aa it wil open a larger market for erude oil than can be secured from all the oll fields vet discovered in the United States. Uncle Sam. with its score of large distribnt- ing stations already completed, can build large cisterns at once for storage and supply the enrrounding territory. There are some happy aurprises ahead for the owners of Unele Sam stock on this burner deal alone. The Oil Trust for years has offered large bonuses for a domestic fuel burner—not to place in the homes of the nation to give the people the henefit of nature’s best fuel. but have alwars cornered and emothered the same. _However, as was to be expected, this great Uncle Sam enterprise that was forced into existence on account of certain large icing companies in the Cherryvale oll district being black- listed by the oppressing trust. has secured eontrol of an invention that may advance Un- ele Sam atock to a far greater price than the most enthusiastic ever hoped for. Means Reasonable Domestic Fuel for fhe Missouri Valley. A cook stove burner will consume about fifty gallons of oil during the summer months and about seventy-five gallons during the win- ter, while 125 gallons will supply an ordinary heater during the coldest winter months. There ate over 450.000 homes In Kansas alone. Every one, excepting a few that are now ee- curing cheap gas, will want from one to three burners. Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, North and South Dakota. Minnesota, lowa. Missouri, rkansas and Jilinols will rank right up with on an average for fuel burners. e will revolutionize the domestic fuel Come down to Cherryvale and see one of them at work and we think you will agree that this burner may pot Uncle Sam stock away up. Ae before stated Uncle Sam ix Aoine things. Our manegers are working nearly day and night to make Uncle Sam furracea and wiil force the large manufactur- er to return to buying of coal and will hence help the poor coal miners who are struggling supreme in the oj! fields regardless of the ditty millions of the trust and the trust’s per- jured hirelings. who continuously attempt to Work Progressing on Uncle Sam Re- finery No. 3.
