KANSAS CITY T0 HULD SATURDAY AACE MEcTING Elm Ridge es Track Officials Determine to Test Anti- Race Law,

FORMER TRIAL FAILURE

Weekly Programs With Horses Stabled at Track and Stable- Boys and Jockeys. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 16.—Races will be run at the Elm Ridge racetrack next Saturday afternoon and on each Saturday thereafter for some time to come, possibly. Officials of the Kan- sas City Jockey Club have decided to give the anti-race law a real test. They are determined that they will force the Prosecuting Attorney either. to arrest them or, in failing to do so, show that they can give a real meeting in’ the fall without fear of the law. The plan is to give a series of Satur- day afternoon matinees with a program of four or five races each. These mati- nees will be mixed; that is, there will be four running races each and two harness events. Gambling will be. per- mitted, but the system to be used.by the bookmakers will be intricate. There will be no registering of bets, as the officials think that by not registering them the law can be evaded. For Saturday’s meeting thete will be | two bookmakers. Each will have a cashier. When a spectator wishes to place a bet, the number o/7 his badge will be taken. This together with ‘the amount he bets and the odds will "be telephoned or telegraphed to’ some place outside of the. State where the registra- tion of bets is not prohibited. After the ace the bets placed on.-the. winning } “will be communicated to the cashiers by telephone or telegraph and accordingly the fortunate ones ‘will be daid off. This system jis similar to that used on New York tracks. Eno es are sftabled at Elm Ridge to make up programs of not fewer than five horses to each event. They are not the fastest thoroughbreds in the country, but they are fast enough to gallop around the track and furnish a basis for betting. Stable boys can be used for jockeys The matinees will in dther respects be like a bona fide meeting. There will be the judges, a starter, trainers and the other things characteristic of race meet- ings. Several weeks ago/the Elm: Ridge of- ficials attempted to test the law by giv- ing one race. No arrests were made. The Proecuting Attorney simply ignored it. CHAUTAUQUA, IS SWEPT BY FIRE Several Buildings Destroyed at Mont Eagle, Tenn—Loss, $25,000.

He swore that he had seen and followed her and Holland as they left the Bell home together, and that they went in the direction of the home of Amanda Cole.

i Promoters of Troublesome. Or- dinance Watch Progress of the Wordy Battle. The. delaying of a bill providing for the vacation of’ certain streets in South St. Louis where the American Car and Foundry Co. wants to erect a million ‘dollar plant, in which ‘“‘Gussie’’ Busch is interested by reason of being one of the owners. of the property on whith the car company has an option, has Started a fight to the finish between the majority and minority factions of the” House of Delegates. It was the the House chamber Tuesday evening. The bill provides for the vacating of Louisa and Lynch streets. between the Iron Mountain tracks and: the river. It was passed by the Council three weeks ago. Since then it has. been in the hands of the House Committee on Pub- lic Improvements. At the last meeting of the House Fri- day evening the first. trouble over the bill took place. ‘“Gussie’’ Busch went to the House chamber and upbraided certain members of the committee for not keeping the ‘promise which he said they had made to him to report the bill out. i Minority’s Threats. At that meeting the committee was accused by members of the minority fof holding up the bill. Frank Hussey, the explbosive orator of t Twenty - second Ward, tried to ma e a motion to bring the bill out of the commit- tee’s hands. Coale and others Were with Hussey, bit beitig members of the minority they were defeated. lt was consequently expected that there would be some. sort of a fight at Tuesday night's méeting. It: was said that the committee would report the bill out with amendments. Hus- sey, Coale and other members of the minority said they were going to get the bill out of the committee's hands if they had to break up the organiza- tion of the House. They didn't get the bill out as they had boasted. They didn’t even succeed in getting the House to vote on the res- olution that the bill should be taken ou* of the .committee’s -hands. ‘Speaker O’Brien, backed up by the majority of 14 members against the 11 of the minor- ity, prevented both developments. The Committee on Public Improve- ments is perhaps the. most important committee in the House. -It is composed of Chairman Wiedner, Delegates Mo- loney, . Bentley, Zimmerman, Kollas, Hatiock and Witthoefft. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Chairman Wiedmer gave his reasons for the delay of the bill.. ‘““We have only had this bill a short time,” he said, ‘‘and there is no need to report ina hurry.

Brig.-Gen: A. A. Bingham, Polite Com- missioner of New York City, was rush- ing out of the’ Planters Hotel barber shop Wednesday’ morning when a Post- Dispatch reporter approached him. a few minutes of your the reporter asked. replied Gen. Bing- ‘“‘May I. have time, General?’ “No, you Cannot,” hum, looking at. his watch. ‘I haven't had a bite to eat yet and it’s 8:40. I’ve got an important business engagement too. What do you want to see me about?”’ “Just want to ask you about the New York police force, and——’”’ “Oh, I haven't anything to tell you about the New York police. I talked about that to reporters yesterday. If you want to, though, you may see me after I have finished with breakfast and then I'll talk to you, but you won't get much from me, for I haven't any- thing to say. If you have any other business to attend to, I'd advise you to go ahead and attend to it, for it will be a waste of your time to wait for me,”’ Forty-five minutes later Gen. Bingham emerged from the breatfast room. “Now I’ talk to you,”’ he said to the reporter. Then he excused, himself a minute while he handed ‘a bellboy the key to his room, ;with the request that it be delivered to Mrs. Bingham. “Mrs. Bingham is in her room,” said to the bellboy. The bellboy started upstairs. ‘“‘Now I'll talk to you,’ said Gen. Bing- ham, again addressing the reporter. Just then Mrs. Bingham stepped from the breakfast joom. Went After the Key. “I thought you had gone upstairs,”’ said the General, running over to meet her. “I just sent the key up by a bell- boy. I'll go and get the key from him." 6 Gen. he Bingham started after the bell- boy and met him coming down the stairs. He took the key away from him and handed it to Mrs. Bingham. After chatting with his wife for a few minutes, Gen. Bingham again joined the reporter and again remarked, ‘Now, I'll talk to you.”’ “How many policemen are there in New York?" “There are 8862, counting the cops and detectives." “How much territory do they cover?” “Let me see, that’s rather hard to estimate. -New York is about 3% miles north and south and about 25 miles east and west.’ “You have a three-platoon sy stem in New York. haye you not?” “Yes, they work in eight-hour shifts.” “Does the system work satisfactor- ily?’ , “Oh, it has its advantages and disad- vantages toe same as other systems, It

New York’s Police Commissioner Says ‘‘Cops’’ Allowed to Take Tips Now and Then, But Must Give Part to Pension Fund. in Metropolis Are never tried any other system. We've worked the New York polce in three platoons ever since I’ve been Commis- sioner.’’ “What punishment is given to a policeman charged with miboiiontinn in New York “Well, it all depends on how serious the offense may be.’ “Do you dismiss a man’ from the force for being drunk?”’ Do Not Dismiss Them. “No, I should say not. If a man gets drunk at his post, so drunk that he can- not perform his duty, we deal with him severely, but if he gets on a little jag while off duty or takes a few drinks now and then we don’t punish him.”’ “Are there any grafting policemen in New York?” “Why, certainly, just the same as there are in all large cities. Every large city has cops who do a little grafting now and then. Why shouldn't they? What is graftin anyway? The big fellows graft. Why shouldn't the ‘poor cops be allowed to pick up a few extra dollars now and then? If a cop walks @ certain. beat a long time and gets well acquainted with the people living there, he is liable to pick up a little money now and then for some special service which he might render. When- ever anybody gives a function in New York and wants a special detail of po- lice. we tell them that the service is absolutely free of charge, but if they want to slip a few dollars to the cops we have no obdjection to it. All the cop has to do is to report that he has been offered a tip by so and so, and then, when he accepts it, he must deduct a certain . percentuge for the pension fund.’ “What punishment would be imposed on a New York policeman who was caught protecting crooks? At this moment a gentleman, with whom Gen. GBingham had a business en: agement stepped up. fou’ll have to excuse me now,” said the General to the reporter, and he hurried away. KEPT ONLY HIS FEE. Attorney: Will ill Fight Mexican Policeman’s Suit. Attorney Joseph Wheless, against whom suit was filed Thursday by Reg- ulo Echeverria, the policeman of Guad- alajara, Mexico, for part of the reward which the latter earned by capturing Charles Kratz, the former councilman who was wanted in St. Louls on a charge of bribery, says that the money which he withheld was his fee. Echeverria filed suit about a year ago against Gov. irolk and Chief of Police Kiely for $800, the amount the re- ward offered for the ae of Kratz. Wheless represented Ec everria in the suit and succeeded in collecting the re- ward in two payments. The first pay- ment, which was $419, was sent to Eche- verria, but the second payment, Whe- legs ke: st. Wheless says he has,Echeverria’s re- ceipt for payment of the reward in full. and that S. had an understanding with Echeverria whereby he was to keep the $381 as his fee.

J oplin Banker Declares Work- ers Shun Banks, Fearing. Cashier’s Scorn. EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., May 16. —David R. Francis of. St: Louis, in. an address at the sixteenth annual con- vention of the Missouri Bankers’ As- sociation, on ‘‘The Banking Interests of the Southwest,’ voiced the protest of the Southwest against the inclination apparent at Washington to deny state- hood to Oklahoma, Indian Territory, New Mexico and Arizona and de- nounced tae policy as criminal. “The Southwest,’’ he said, comprehensive term, but for the purpose of this paper I sha]l construe it to mean Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, (‘Indian Territory, New Mexico and Arizona. “The material dey elopment of this sec- tion during the past decade has sur- passed that of any like area fn the United States, on the Western Hemis- phere or anywhere else on the globe. “That within the short Space of 16 years near the southwestern border of Missouri there should have grown up two. territories comprising fertile areas) populated by ‘intelligent people, aunualy ly producing hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of wealth, and each with a population of ever 750,000 Fouls, is evi. dence of? Western push and. American spirit. ‘That these te: Bs arth should be de- ‘nied admission: to the Federal Union, although they express willingness to be admitted as one State, with a populn- tion of over a miilion and a half, is ine explicable when we take into consilera- tion that such a State would have 4 population: greater than that of 26 of the i ~states of the Union and would an: nually add more to the national wealth than the entire assessed: valuation of many states whose representatives are oppayed to their admission. “Such a positibn can be accounted for in’ po other way than an opposition on the part of its advocates to giving the Southwest a proper voice in the national legislature. Policy Is Criminal. “Such a policy is not only unjust, but, if persisted in, could properly be desig- nated as criminal, and if the people of the other sections submit to it they will be neglectful of their duty and stultify themselves in not enforcing the principles of republican government which guarantee self-government to the political subdivisions of a common coun- try. “There can be no’ justification for maintaining: as colonies sé@ctions of the country having 750,000 population, well qualified for citizenship, having schools and township and municipal organiza- tions well established, occupying territ- tory granted to them by the Federal Government and in every way as well qualified for statehood as are Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. “The same can be said with limita- tions, prescribed and acknowledged, in regard to Arizona and New Mexico. | do not consider it extraneous to the ob- ject of this paper nor its subject mata ter to make this allusion to conditions existing inthe Southwest, nor would it, in my judgment, be presuming or inop- portune for this association of capital- ists and influential citizenship to give expression to its views concerning a. matter which interests every State and every citizen, and espé@g¢ially states which are proud to claim: _ membership in the imperial Southwest.’ To Increase Deposits, President T. W. Cunningham of the Bank of Joplin, in a paper on “‘How to Increase Our Deposits,’’ declared that in every community the savings kept away from banks, for some reason or other, exceeded in amount the depos- its of the strongest bank in that com- munity’. “It is for us to cultivate this stay- away class,”’ he continued. “‘Would it not be well to place lecturers in the field to visit the rural and the mining districts, the suburbs of our cities and towns, and explain the features of bank- ing to them; in a word, educate the people? Exhibit your pass books, ex- plain the debit and credit side, show them how to fill out a oheck, or draft and the purposes of each. “I do not for one moment wish to cast reflections upon the intelligence of our neople, but I do say—and that in no uncertain terms—that there are many who hold back their savings simply for the reason that they have not sufficient confidence in their ability to transact business at the cashier's window, and the fear of receiving adverse critice m for their failure, influences them to re- tain possession of their earnings, and secrete them in some hole of darkness, = to them seems a place of secur- TEXANS TO SEE HADLEY.

Nor could he have _ then made the whole statement which he now substitutes. His impulsiveness has led him into serious error upon a point of no importance in itself but only as affecting his attack upon me. I give to you a further statement, as follows: Summoncd by President, “Prior to March 31 I had not seen the resident for a long time. I did not go to the Wifite House as a representative of Senator Tillman but solely because the President summoned me there by the letter from Mr. Loeb, and I waited for him to express his object. “It was unmistakably stated to be a communication with Mr. Tillman who had the rate bill in charge, and other Democrats of the Senate ‘for the. pur- pose of securing the adoption in the railroad rate bill of a court review clause limiting the inquiry to the ques- tion whether the commission had ex- ceeded its authority or had violated the constitutional rights of the carrier. “T knew and he knew that it was im- possible for him to open conferences with Mr. Tillman unless he was fully satisfied that the President had abso- lutely given up all intention of coming to an agreement with the senators who had been making the contest for an un- limited court review, and in stating his object he said that. he had parted from them finally, naming Senators Knox, Foraker and Spooner as the senators who had maée the arguments in the Senate to sustain that view, and he used as nearly as I can recollect the language given in my statement re- peated by Mr. Tillman. “The conversation included the under- standing which he had that day re ached with Senators Long and Allison, the fact that not over one-third of the Re- publican senators could be relied on to vote for the limited court review and that it was vital that the support of nearly all the Democrats should be ob- tained. ¥ound Tillman Distrustful. 1 Mr. “Whe an hour later. 1 visitec rumamee and told him my mission from the President, I found him distrustful and suspicious. He questioned me close- ly as to what the President had said and I related to him as accurately as I could the statement made by the President to me and I convineed him that the President had ceased to hope for compromise with the senators named and the other advocates of an unlimited court review. When satisfied that this was the case, hb readily con- sented to co-operate with the President and said he would see Senator Bailey and report to me the result, which he did, saying there would be perfect ac- review if carried forward in connection ex parte Injunctions. . “The conferences thus begun were, on the 15th, at my suggestion, transferred resulted in an understanding that the effort could be made to limit to the right of court review as stated in the Long amendment and in the paper drawn up on April 16 by Mr. Moody and later perfected by Messrs.

That means the conven- tions will be made up largely of ‘prox- jes.’ “Men with more money than political sense will be able to control delegations and any number of proxies. “T don’t think our conventions were ever influenced By the fact that the railroads furnished transportation to the delegates. ay a “In one sence it may have been a good thing to divorce the conventions and the railroads, but I hardly think the railroads did right in taking snap judgment on us at this time. 7 “Tf there is a large attendance of delegates.at either the State or Judicial Convention I will be very much sur- prised.”’ 3 “The decision of the railroads.not to issue free transportation is causing great anxiety among St. Louis politi- cians. It is pointed out that neither the Jef- ferson nor the St. Louis Democratic Club will be able to come to the relief of the St. Louis contingent, owing to the depleted condition of their finances. “Tt is certainly a hard blow to the gang—that new-fangled rule the rail- roads have adopted,”’ said Harry Walsh, one of the leading lights of the St. Louis Democratic Club and a practical polit- fclan of long standing~to a Post-Dis- patch reporter Wednesday. “Personally, I don’t care whether the railroads charge or not, because I am not a delegate to any of the conventions. “But some of the boys who didn’t count on putting up railroad fare will have to take ‘shank’s mare’ to Excelsior Springs and Jefferson City.

of a ‘gent’ with money lying idle will ry to the relief of those who nved aid,’”’ Says Republicans Caused It, Secretary McCoy of the Republican State Committee claims the Republicans are largely responsible for the new anti- pass rule. “As the Post-Dispatch pointed out yesterday,’’ said Secretary MeCoy, ‘‘we adopted a resolution declaring against the issuance of passes for political con- ventions more than two months ago. Chairman Niedringhaus personally pre- sented the resolution, and it was adopted without dissent. “I don’t think either party will lose anything by the action of the railroad companies. What we most sincerely de- i is the strict enforcement of this rule. “If any politician rides to the Repub- lican conventions on a pass this year, we would like to know it. “When a party is permitted to name its candidaees independent of corporate influences, the day of reform is certain- ly at hand.”’ State Senator Thomas E. Kinney, who with Contsable “Jimmy” Miles of the Third Ward, will control the St. Louis delegations to both the State and ju- dicial conventions, said: “I never rode on @ railroad pass, so the railroads are not walking on ‘my corns. Nor do I ever permit any of my delegates to receive pasteboards any more than I would consent to them tak- ing a free lunch from one of my rivals. “We always pay our way to the con- ventions. But I don’t have to throw a ‘stoné many miles to hit some people _who may regret the economy of the railroad companies. “I really pity poor Bill Phelps. It looks very much to me as if this would put him out of a job. He is usually so busy around convention times that he has to hire one or more assistants to deal out blocks of transportation. At the same time I have a sneaking idew that Bill himself is back of this reform wave. ‘You know Bill Phelps is a pretty sly old fellow. He can give the best of therg cards and spades.

DENVER, Colo., May 16.—City elec- tion returns were still incomplete early today, but show that the Mu- nicipal Ownership city ticket was de- teated yesterday with the possible ex- ception of two Election Commission- ers and three of the 16 aldermen, The Republicans elected one Elec- tion Commissioner, three supervisors and seven aldermen, and the Demo- crats six aldermen. The Denver City Tramway and the Denver Gas and Electric Co. 20-year franchises appear to have carried by small majorities, but the Municipal Ownership League will contest these on the ground that the ballots of non- taxpaying voters for them were ac- cepted by the judges. The Northwestern Terminal Rail- road (Moffatt road) franchise was carried by several thousand majority. The Denver Municipal Traction, Den- ver Terminal Railroad and Union Pa- ed. The number of votes cast for the city ticket was about 30,000 out of a total registration of 52,000 and about 15,000 votes on the franchises were cast.

Millions Spent to Make Clean Beer Cleanest Manufacturing Process Known Is That of the Leading Ameri- can Brewery. We vegard beer as a food and the business of brewing beer one of our most important industries. When we tell our readers that without exception there is no other brewery in the world so absolutely clean in its process of manufacture as Pabst, we speak from exact knowledge of conditions. The monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee represents an outlay of millions of dol- lars and many of those millions have been expended to make the Pabst ex- clusive process absolutely clean. Pabst Beer stands alone today, the only food product that from the beginning to the end of its manufacture is absolutely beyond reach of even the contamina- ting germs of the air. Doctors boil their instruments in water to sterilize them. Pabst boils brew in closed kettles, and thus steril- izes it. From there it passes through sterilized pipes to sterilized, hermet- ically sealed storage tanks, and when bottled it is pasteurized. Throughout the entire process it never is touched by human hands and comes in contact only with sterilized air. No other food product known can show such a rec- ord of positive cleanliness. This process of manufacture is the exclusive Pabst method. It is one reason for the “always the same, al- _— the best” reputation of Pabst r.

The cleanest beer and the richest beer, Pabst Beer, has no equal as a mild, refreshing, healthful .

SAME HANDWRITING ON MANY BALLOTS Collector Hagerman Has 100 Fourth Ward Scratched Votes Photographed.

NO DECISION FOR YEAR

Recount Clerks Have Not Com- \. pleted Investigation of Fourth Ward. Photographic copies of more than one hundred ballots in the Fourth Ward, said to show that the name of City Collector Hagerman was scratched and that of his Republican opponent, Louis P. Aloe, written in, apparently by the same person, were made at the instance of Mr. Hager- mann’s attorneys at the office of the Board of Election Commissioners Wednesday morning. In the recount of the ballots, grow- ing Out of the contests of the mu- nicipal election in April, 1905, gross irregularities are alleged to have been discovered in various precincts of the Fourth Ward. . Hagerman’'s friends contend that in every instance where his name was erased and that of his Republican op- ponent inserted the handwriting wag similar. The original count of the ballots gave Hagerman a plurality of 155 over Aloe. The recount, however, is progressing so Slowly that it will probably not be completed for a year. It was begun more than two months ago and the clerks have thus far reached only the Sixth Precinct of the Fourth Ward. Scores of fraudulent ballots gre said to have been found in various precincts of the Fourth Ward, and the Circuit Court will be called upon to pass on the question of their invalidity. It is thought the courts cannot settle the contests in a year. Meanwhile, the officials, including Mayor Wells, whose right to hold office is being contested, have already served 138 months. As matters now appear, they will have served at least three out of the four years of the terms for which they were elected before the result of the contests is finaily determined.

Speaker,” yelled Hussey, “and I'll be eternally film-flammed if I ever do.’’ Here half a dozen delegates in dif- ferent parts of the House jumped to their feet in great excitement, each clamoring for the floor. Little Mr. Weeke, who is about half the size of Hussey, ran from his seat to the foot of the Speaker's dias, shook his fist at the Speaker and yelled: “Why wasn't that resolution “The gentleman is out of order,’’ O’Brien. “T don’t care if I am out or order,”’ yelled Weeke, raising his voice to a scream, “‘why wasn’t that resolution read? Do vou think ‘you are a Czar?’’ “The gentleman is out of order,’’ re- peated O’Brien. ‘‘He will please take his seat.’’ Weeke louxed as if he were going to burst out in a terrific tirade. But he contented himself with a look of disgust and*turning back to his seat said over his shoulder to the speaker, ‘“‘Oh, go to —, will you?” “The sergeant-at-arms will please see that the gentleman takes his_ seat,” said O’Brien in a louder voice and rap- ping on the marble desk before him with his vel. “Jere” McGrath, the sergeant-at-arms, rushed up and taking Weeke by the arm led him back to his seat. On the way Weeke kept hurling imprecations of a more or less violent nature on the speaker's head. Meanwhile ‘‘Gussie’’ Busch, who, with others had been requested to leave the floor of the House chamber earlier in the evening, were watching the scene from the gallery above the speaker's head. Mr. Busch leaned over the rail- ing and watched the proceedings anx- lously. The members of the majority were getting about as much fun out of the row as those in the gallery who had no interest, in the bill. They knew they had sufficlent votes to down any move- ment of the minority. So they did not join in the debate, but leaned back in their seats and contented themselves with ridiculing those who rose to speak. Meanwhile Iph Coale of the Twen- ty-eighth Ward had rushed up to the clerk's desk, grabbed Hussey’s resolu- tion which had not been read, re- turned to his seat, and a moment later made his voice heard above the oth- ers clamoring for the floor. “Mr. Speaker,’’ he yelled, resolution.”’ A minute later the minority members were laughing as Hussey’s resolution was read. It asked that the bill be taken out of the hands of the Commit- tee. Immediately Coale moved that the resolution be adopted and half a dozen seconded the motion. Resolution Ruled Out, “The resolution ig out of order,” said the Speaker, refusing to recog- nize the motion. “The committee has not yet reported the bill, either fa- vorably or unfavorably. And, conse- quently, I won't recognize the mo- tion.” Here Weeke got violent again and rushed forward to the Speaker's stand. He was finally dragged back to his seat by his fellow delegates.

to pour oll on the troubled waters with a soothing solo. Everything was in confusion for sev- eral minutes. Up in the galiery Busch was evidently more worried than he had been before. O’Brien was smiling but looked nervous. Coale finally got the floor again. “I move an appeal from your decision, Mr. Speaker,’ he said. The motion was seconded and the; first opportunity to find out where the members of the House stood on the cause of the whole. disturbance was iven. eThe roll call was taken and there were 14 noes and 11 eyes, three being ab- sent. se Hussey Grows Sarcastic. Here Hussey got into the conversation, Since his first futile effort to deliver his great speech he had been polling over with incoherent expletives to which no one seemed to pay very much attention. “Say,”’ he observed with an infinity of sarcasm in his voice, ‘‘Are you the only one with a thought coming to you? I guess you do the thinking for the 2 of us. You—aw, —’ Here Hussey’s feelings, which he says are sometimes a great nuisance to him, overcame him and he sat down see ceand further ado. But Coale had not finished yet. “I move you, Mr. Speaker,” he said, “that you appoint a committee to confer with the City Counselor on your action anent my resolution.’”’ Speaker O’Brien gave a sigh of relief. For ten minutes he had been fighting hard to keep his mastery over the del- egates as u driver of a dog team strug- gles to keep his many charges in con- trol. “The majority has sustained my rul- ing,’’ he said rising to his feet. “The House will now go on with its reguiar order of business.”’ But the minority didn’t seem to think they were whipped yet. Coale said he wanted to know why his resolution was not put on a vote. O'Brien answered that he thought it out of order. Then Coale was declared out of order and the fight was over. The regular order of business was taken up and ten minutes later the meeting was ad- journed, The members of the minority left the chamber almost immediately. They hinted that they will be the majority soon and that ‘‘what they won't do to Speaker O'Brien,’’ as they expressed it, ‘“‘wouldn’t be worth speaking about.’’ The majority members remained in the House chamber discussing the mreeting for an hour or so. Speaker O'Brien said that he was acting according to parliia- mentary rules and that there was no other motive behind his action than the desire to run the House in regular way.

Mrs. Hanlenbeck that her son frequently smoked as many as 100 cigarettes in the course of a day. He became nervous, ir- ritable, discontented, and~- finally, a short time ago, lost his position through the habit it had engendered i im. At night Hanlenbeck frequently left his bed and wandered away, and his family would know nothing of his whereabouts until he was taken in charge by the police and sent to the hospital. On siich occasions it was their hahjt to search the hospitals until they found him. Frequently he was unable to give his name after reachine them. ; John Hanlenbeck, a brother, accom- panied Mrs. Hanlenbeck to the hos- pital and took a supply of chewing tobacco. -He does‘not believe this form of gratifying the appetite is so injurious to his brother as cigarettes, MARIE. EASTES MOTHER REJOICE She Predicted Victory in Con- test for $800,000 Brown Estate. Mrs. Henry L. Magee of 4715 Page boulevard was jubilant over the victory of her daughter, Marie Fleming Ever» est Brown Eastes, in the contest for the $300,000 estate of her late husband, Henry George Htrown, decided by a jury in Denver day. The . verdict involved the de- cision i. Mrs. Eastes was never the common-iaw wife of Oscar Elmo a St. Louls salesman, and that the contract which he and she signed at the Plant- ers Hotel when she was less than 16 years old was only an agreement to wed, at some future time. “I always said that Marie would win,”’ she said to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “but I was glad when the telegram eay- ing, ‘Everything is all right,’ cane. ‘She need have no further worry about the motion for a new trial. I do not think the Court will grant that, and even if they do she has nothing to fear from further hearing of the vase.” The verdict which meant so much to Mrs. Eastes was rendered after a trial lasting several days. She separated more than two ars ago from Brown, whom she ma af- ter an elopement In California, and she had instituted proceedings for a divorce when Brown died. She became his heir. Within a few months after his death she was married to J. Clark Eastes. Stepmeother’s Charge Fails. Mrs. Sarah N. Brown-Johnston, step- mother of Henry George Brown, sought to prove that Mrs. Eastes had no right to the property because of a common- law marriage which she said took place at the Planters Hotel in 1899 between Oscar Elmo, a St. Louisan, and Eastes, who was then Marie Fleming Everest. She therefore held the mar- riage to Brown illegal. The issue of the trial was whether a common-law marriage actually took place. Had that been proven the step- mother would -have been the hefress. Depositions and personal testimony of St. Louis witnesses to the Planters Ho- tel incident were taken failed to con- vince the jury that there had been a common-law marriage. Mrs. Johnston, the defeated plaintiff, gave notice of appeal Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. tes have been livi in Denver for some time, and probably remain there.

The story of the brothers’ feud came to light when George asked Justice Mc- Laughlin to make David move his desk out of his shop. ‘“‘My lawyer served him with an order to move May 1,”’ said George, indignant- ly, “and he won’t budge. He says he has a verbal lease On the deskroom.,”’ Justice McLaughlin asked them ‘why they could not talk it over_and come to some agreement. “Talk to him!’’ exclaimed George in dismay. ‘‘Why, I would not speak a word to him for all the money in the would.

I had a big appetite and they used to eat most of the victuals before I got to the table and then laugh at me. I was the oldest boy, and they seemed to be jealous of me. ‘When my father died, five years ago, I paid my mother $300 for this shop and because I had it David got mad. He said he'd come around with a desk and do business for himself. We had a quarrel one day, and I lost my tem- per and threw a cup of tea at him, It hit him on the head. It was not long after that that we stopped talking, but I’m not sure whether it was throw- ing the teacup that brought it about. “David got to telling a lot of stories about me to the girl I was going with, and that soured me on him worse than ever. But she did not believe him and married me just the same. After Dave and I stopped talking Daniel took David's part. That riled me up against Daniel, and I have not said much to him for nearly twelve years. “T'll admit I’ve got a bad temper, but David has a worse one than I have. I wouldn’t, by gum, give him a durned cent if he was starving, and when he dies I won't go to his fu- neral.’’ Crowbar or Teacup? David says he distinctly remembers being hit on the head with something George threw, but his recollection is that it was a crowbar and not @ tea- cup. “I've got a more forgiving nature than he has,” said. David, ‘‘and Id make up, but he is too stubborn, George is not really a bad one, at heart, but he can’t forget our quar- rels. I'm going to. move out of the place some day, but not until I find another office I like.” Whatever communication the two brothers have had with each other since the feud began has been through friends or lawyers. When David pays his rent he has one of his men leave a check for $12 on George’s desk and George sends a receipt by his clerk. The two men pretend never to see each other.

SERVANT IS QUESTIONED Positive Her Employer Was Murdered, but Can Fur- nish No Clew.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Mady 16.—Sensational stories are afloat that Charles L. Spier, confidential man of H. H. Rogers, was not a suicide, after all, but was shot and killed in his Staten Island home by an intruder who was not a _ burglar. Furthermore, it is said that the District Attorney suspects a man well known in Staten Island, ahd that an arrest may be made atany time. It is claimed that he can be connected with an al- leged plot to kill Spier. A servant’s positive assertion that Spier was murdered is said to be re- GIRL DIES ON A TRAIN. | She Was Hurrying to Be With Relatives in Indiana. Hurrying to reach her home in Ross- ville, Ind., because she did not wish to ’ die among strangers, Miss Lillie Craw- ford, a victim of tuberculosis, died on the sleeping car Cerah, near Boonville, Mo., at 1 a. m. Wednesday. Her home- ward flight began at San Antonio, Tex., whither she had gone some months ago in the hope of regaining health. The young woman's body was brought to St. Louis at 8 a. m. and was taken to the Hetlage undertaking rooms. On

the train her condition had aroused the profoundest sympathy. The young woman‘s relatives have been notified and the body will be held for instructions. Lost Voice in Earthquake. Unable to speak above a whisper be- cfuse of thé nervous shock she suffered in the San Francisco earthquake, Miss Josephine Dirksmeyer is at the Ter- minal Hotel. Miss Dirksmeyer pro- tested in a very faint voice against be- ing assigned to a room on an upper floor. She said she had been unable to compose herself to sleep high above the ground since the earthquake.

—~ iShe is a puzzle to the District Attor- ney. Again and again, she said, in the manner of one who knew something: “Mr. Spier was murdered by a bur- glar,”’ and yet, when asked upon what she based her conviction, she was un- able, apparently, to add anything of moment to what is already known. She described how she had heard Mr. Spier in the hall, told of his cry to the dog, “Sic ’em, Buster,’”’ and of the clash below stairs. She told again, with a few new details, about the suspicious looking, roughly clad man she had seen lurking about the garden hedges two days before the tragedy. ‘‘Are you sure you have told me all?” District Attorney Kenney asked when she had finished her narrative. ‘‘Yes,”’ she answered, without hesita- tion. “And upon this you are positive that Mr. Spier did not take his own life?’ “T am. A burglar killed him.”’ Tt was an experience that gave the District Attorney a new mystery upon which to set his wits. Why, he asks himself, is the woman so positive of murder if this is really all the informa- tion she possesses? H. H. Rogers will testify in a few days.

Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, chronic kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treat- ment is applied, the weary patient sel- dom survives. Being fully aware of this, Lydia E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave ex- haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman’s ills — Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that it contained the correct com- bination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman’s kidney troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women, and thousands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derange- ments quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, ache, scalding or burning sensations or de- posits in the urine, unusual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back, running through the groin, she may infer that her kidneys are affect- ed and should lose no time in combat- ing the diseasé with Lydia E.

The play'concerns the work of Patricius as Apostle of Ireland, in which he expels an evil spirit from Ethna and frees her from a Hfelong imprison- ment to which she had been doomed. _ NEW AMERICAN CO.

NEW termined vesterday that $100,000,000 shall be the cupitalization of the new mort- gage loan corporation which is to be or- ganized here to advance money for the rebuliding of San Francisco, The pro- moters of the enterprise at first argued that $10,000,000 capitalization would pro- vide an ample vehicle for handling hun- dreds of millions of investments, but it was found that San Francisco favors a much larger capitalization, giving op- portunity for investment on the Pacific Goast. Hence it is now considered best to capitalize for $100,000,000, paid-in sub- scriptions reaching $10,000,000 cash. - H. Warriman, president of the Southern Pacific; Frank A. Vanderlip, vice-president of the National. City Bank: Senator Newlands of Nevada, and H. 8S. Blake, president of the Unit- ed States Realty and Improvement Co., will today confer with Franklin K. ITane and Thomas Magee, both of San Francisco, and members of the Relfef Committee, upon means to be employed to remove from the minds of investors in the Tast the fear that the complicat- .ed mortgage laws of California will in- flict double taxation upon owners of mortgages in San Francisc. Plans for the perfecting of the huge mortgage loan corporation will also be adopted, and it is now expected that all of the preliminaries will be completed this week and the work of advancing $100,000,000 and more for the reconstruc- tion of the destroyed city will begin within 30 days.

OF INTOXICATION. ne

me CHARLES W. 0 POLICEMAN HIT BOY ON BICYCLE Patrolman Curran of Deer Street Station Suspended for Intoxication.

WOMAN UPBRAIDED HIM

Charles O’Brien Says Curran Knocked Him From Wheel Into Ditch. Policeman Patrick Curran of the Deer Street Station is under suspen- sion on charges of intoxication while on duty, and Charles W. O’Brien of 2918 North Newstead avenue, 15 years old, has a wrecked bicycle to offer as evidence against the policeman. Charles says that Curran knocked him off the wheel, clubbed him and beat spokes out of the machine. He will prefer charges against the pa- trolman or appear as a_i witness against him. Charles is a bright-faced, brown- eyed boy of somewhat delicate ap- pearance. He said Wednesday to a Post-Dispateh reporter: “I rode up‘to the merry-go-round on St. Louis avenue, near Newstead, beside the Simmons School, a little after 9 o’clock last night. Before I had stopped the policeman broke out of the crowd and started after me. I asked what he wanted. I had a light and a license and couldn’t imagine why he was following me. “He overtook me and gave me a shove that sent me into the gutter. The fall dazed me a little, and I lay still. The policeman leaned over and hit me on the back with his club. Then he picked up the wheel and hit that two or three times. He knocked out a number of spokes and bent some. He twisted the front bar so that I’m afraid it can’t be miended at all. It was a new machine, and I mind the damage to it more than the hurt to me. Wemen Upbraided Policeman. “A big crowd was on the lot around the merry-go-round, and everybody ran to where I was lying with the policeman standing over me. As I got on my knees I saw two or three omen rush up, and one of them alled the policeman a 0brute. I picked up the wheel and started off with it. The policeman followed. I Saw he was staggering. “A sergeant of police was coming and I tried to get to him to tell him what had happened to me, but the policeman headed me off. So I went over to the Deer Street Station and told Lieut. Stack.” Sergt. Quinlan saw at a glance that something was wrong, and told Cur- ran to go with him to the station. At the station Quinlan and Lieut. Stack questioned the patrolman and the re- sult was that Curran’s star, revolver and club were taken from him, Quin- lan’s report says that Curran was act- ing boisterously. Two shots were fired, Charles O’Brien says, while he lay on the ground. He thinks Curran fired them, but as he lay face downward he is not sure.

Postoffice and Federal Building is to receive its much-needed cleaning and renovating. The grime and smoke of six long years, with their sultry and smoky summer days and their wintry, blasts of dust, has streaked the building from dome to basement, making the necessity of a cleaning evident even to the casual observer. The outside of the building was last cleaned in 1900 at a cost of $5775. The match strokes of a vast throng of smokers have cut queer capers on the big ee at the score of en- trances, leaving grotesque figures to confront the passerby. The Federal Building, a landmark of the Phy West, and occupying the entire block bounded by Locust, Olive, Eighth and Ninth streets, is visited by great throngs daily, the Postoffice department taking up only a small portion of the building. Scores of Government offices are located in the building besides the United States Cir- cuit and Distriet courts and the Court of Appeals. When the subject was mentioned to an official at the building Wednesday he expressed the thought of many others when he said: “It’s a useless task to clean the outside of a building like this in such a‘place as St. Louts.

Speciai to the Post-Dispatch. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 16.—Now that the Attell-Herman contest is over, interest turns to the Nelson-Herrera contest to be held in this city on May 25. Both men have started regular training at their camps and they are crowds of interested Spectators when they go through their afternoon boxing work. Herrera has quarters in the southern Outskirts of the city where the air is pure. Aurelio announces his intention of going into the ring in perfect condition. Everybody knows that the Bakersville lad’s fault has been lack of thorough preparation for his battles, but this time he appreciates the fact that he has a hard proposition before him, if he is tpg Be down the Battling Dane, and his friends feel confident that he will make every effort to get himself per- fectly fit for the contest of his life. Neilson has pitched his camp at Bald- win's Ranch, about ten miles from here and he has chosen an ideal spot for training quarters. The country is open and elevated sufficiently to be above the morning fogs that come up from _ the ocean in May. There is excellent car service to this city which may be reached in a little over half an hour.

The game consists of a special punching bag, shaped like a pear, suspended from a frame so as to hang about one foot from the ground. The play- ers range themselves on either side of the bag and endeavor, by swing- ing it, to make it hit and ring a bell suspended back of the players on the opposite side.

The alumni committee yes- terday received notice that the fresh- man rule would be observed in sending athletes from that school. Coe of Michigan and Parsons of Wis- consin are yet in doubt, and in all prob- ability will not be gontestants. The committee decided yesterday that it would award shields or plaques in- stead of banners for the relay race and the championship of the meet. The pre- liminaries in the quarter-mile run and the pole vault will be begun June 1 at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The drawing for places in the finals will be made that evening at a banquet in the Hamilton Club. given by the alumni committee in honor of the coaches, trainers and managers of the compet- ing teams. -NOTBE DAME TO PLAY AT SOUTH BEND. NOTRE DAME, Ind., May 16.—Notre Dame, which has lost $5000 or $6000 on its athletic teams last year, begins to see a way to make ends meet by hold- ing its games in South Bend. The great impediment in the way of developing athletics here has been a lack of finan- cial support, a condition due to the fact that games were not played in South Bend and the student support was in- sufficient. An experiment was made Saturday when Notre Dame and Beloit played in South Bend, and the result was highly gratifying to those concerned in the promotion of athletics here. Dr. Hall is one of the hardest hitters in the Normandy Club. He also plays a steady game with his irons and acts like a real golfer.

NEW YORK, wre 4 16,.—Louis Cure, the great French billiardist is leading World's pion Willie Hoppe, after the first day’s play in their 3600-point 18.2-inch balk line match, by the score of 1200 to 1027. Hoppe won the afternoon game by the score of 800 to 78, but in the evening Cure clicked off 420, while Hoppe was counting 227. McKinley College Collations The members of the Washington Uni- versity baseball team expect to win all of their ball games on their tour which begins Friday at Fayetteville, Ark. Close contests are expected from Arkan- sas and Warrensburg Normal, the lat- ter institution’s baseball nine having de- feated Haskell last week. Washington’s chances to take the dual meet next Saturday from Missouri de2- pends on the showing of Robinson in the long distance events, aS present lorm indicates that Missouri will take the meet by five or six points. The absence of a good distance runner at Washing- ton insures the long distance events for the Tigers unless Robinson, who is a comparative newcomer, should repeat his sensational performance of Wash- ington’s fleld day, when he defeated Johnstone, the crack miler of the Pike- way institution. Darling of Oklahoma, Hendrix of Tex- as, and Grover of Washington lay claim to the Southwestern sprint champion- ship, and Washington students are re- gretting that Grover will be unable to try his fleetness of foot against Darling and Hendrix next Saturday at Okla- homa City on account of the Missouri- Washington dual games, Unless Fullerton, Washington's crack hurdler, gets down to serious work the Myrtle and Maroon are in danger of losing points in this event, as it is doubtful if Mackey will be able to com- pete on account of conditions in his studies. Monday night, between the hours of ll p. m. and 1a. m., Section B of Wash- ington University was the scene of a unique initiation, the details of which have convulsed the students ever since. The initiate was John Biggers of Web- ster Groves. Biggers has been attending Washington all year, but had just moved into the dormitories. One of the rules of the occupants of Section B, un- fortunately for Biggers, was a require- ment that each new member should be proved by a trial and his courage test- ed. That Biggers underwent the ordeal was proved when he appeared the next morning well striped up and his hair Streaked with white. The Christian Brothers’ College team has accepted the challenge of the Coun- try Club nine for a return game of baseball to be played Decoration Day on the club men’s grounds in St. Louis County. Thursday, the college players will journey to Alton, Ill, to oppose the strong Western Military Academy ag- gregation. * Many interesting and hard fought col- lege baseball games were played last week, but the situation in so far as the Eastern college championship is con- cerned was not changed to any extent and is still hopelessly tangled up. Princeton has the best record to date, and the team is playing a good qual- ity of ball. Princeton beat Cornell on Saturday, but the Ithacans did not suf- fer in comparison. Byram struck out 12 men and held Cornell to three hits, but Umstad also pitched a good game for Cornell, and the outcome was un- certain to the last inning. Yale beat Holy Cross by a narrow margin on Saturday, but suffered defeat earlier in the week at the hands of Brown. Har- vard managed to beat Pennsylvania on Saturday after losing to Holy Cross on Wednesday. Inexcusable and costly er- rors by the Quakers made it possible for Harvard to win on Saturday. Brown is making an enviable record and at this time must be rated second to Princeton, with Yale, Cornell, Dart- ee oe = oe a a 4 A young maa who neglects to avail himself of the wisdom of good clothes neglects to utilize a means of providing himself with opportunity to get forward in the world.

Two-Piece Suits, - $12.50 to $30 mouth, Holy Cross, Harvard, Pennsy]- vania, Amherst and Columbia following in about the order named. ‘The final struggle will probably be between Princeton and Yale, however, as near as can be judged from the games played. In Oliver D. Filley, Harvard has a real English rowing captain. Last year Filley accomplished considerable, and he has hopes of being a greater factor in intercollegiate boat racing this sea- son. The ro Englishman has intro- duced distinctly British ideas, so that when the Crimson and Yale crews meet at New London it Will be a battle be- tween the American type and the Eng- lish in eight-oared racing. The Pennsylvania relay’ carnival, while it was responsible for some extra good athletic performances, displayed a tendency this season to show a falling off in interest of the thing for which the games were made—the relay races. It was not so mach among the school- boys or the runners of the smaller col- leges that this was noticeable as in the case of the big universities. Michigan comes next on the Chicago University track program. The Wolver- ines will be seen in action next Satur- day afternoon at Marshall Field, and the Maroon camp will be a busy place the entire week preparing for their rer ception. The Ann Arbor athletes are conceded the inners by the Midway adherents, but Coach Stagg believes the Maroons can make a good showing in the event. With the result cut dried as far as Michigan’s victory is concerned, the meet will call forth all the interest of both schools as an exhibition of the probable 1906 conference cham ions. Barring some startling reversals of form or accidents, the Wolverines should take the meet by a margin of between 20 and 30 points. Cornell and Chicago will meet in foot- ball this fall. Arrangements for the date were completed Tuesday night when Coach Stagg, in answer to an in- vitation received last week, telegraphed his acceptance to the Ithaca officials. The Cornell game will be played Nov. 10 at Marshall Field. Stagg announced the date after a meeting of the university senate, in which the matter of an Eastern game was discussed. The Midway professors debated whether or not Chicago would be allowed to ‘play any ‘big games. Several members of the senate believed the Cornell game should not be ar- ranged. The action of the body in per- mitting the game settled the * big game question, and Stagg will now be at lib- erty to negotiate for another Bastern date. === RIPPLES —— of the Roing Maurice Sayers, the lightweight, who abandoned Milwaukee last Sunday for Philadelphia, has been matched to meet Eddie Hanlon of San Francisco in the Quaker town on May 22. They will go six rounds before Jack McGuigan’s Na- tional Sporting Club and will weigh in at 133 pounds at 3 o'clock. “My last fight if I don’t beat him!” That is the way Tommy Mowatt talks of his coming match with “Fighting Dick” Hyland of California, which is to take place before a club in Ogden, Utah, on May 25. ar Joe Choyinski; who retired from the ring over a year ago, was stricken with the fighting fever several days ago and thinks his only hope for recovering is to get a whack at Jack Root. Jack Dougherty is considering an of- fer to fight before the Lincoln Athletic Club of Chelsea, Mass., about June 16. Billy Pierce, matchmaker of that club, wants him to meet either Joe Walcott, Mike Sullivan or Gardner. If he accepts the offer he will prob- ably meet Gardner. Sullivan has out- grown the welter-weight limit and could not possibly fight at 140 pounds at 38 o’clook, the weight which Dougherty in- sists upon, and Walcott, since he shot himself in the hand, is an unknown quantity. Dougherty is anxious to meet Gardner in a 15-round battle, as he thinks that he has an excellent chande of wearing the shifty Easterner down In that space of time. Barney Cinnamon will meet Fred Gii- more of Chicago in Green Bay, Wis., on May 30, at a show held by the Eagles of that city. According to the past rec- ords of both men it should be a good fight. Gi&more has a decision over Char- lie Edenberg to his credit, while Cinna- mon was given a draw with the sama fighter, although it looked to many as if he had a shade the better of it. They will fight at 180 pounds at 3 o'clock. Oliver Kirk, the Western Amateur Athletic Union 125-pound champion, who went to Frisco to represent the M. A. ¢. in the national boxing pamplonshipes, returned to the city Tuesday. Kirk says heat the reports received in St. Louis to the effect that he contemplated en- tering the professional ranks were faise, Kirk speaks very highly of Hock Keyes, whom he met in Frisco. Keyes is the Australian lightweight arater who is to meet Amby McGarry | ednesday night before Tom O'Rourke's Tuxedo Club at ington, Pediar Palmer is still a name to con- jure with. His recent display against Driver Himpfen in London stamps him as ore of the most marvelous boxers of any decade. The “Box of Tricks” showed a vast amount of his old-time cleverness, using his head with excellent judgment, and displaying the general- ship of the ring usually associated with his performances. For a boxer who has been at the game for such a number of years, Pediar can still be aptly described as a veritable marvel, and is stil) a dan- gerous and tricky opponent for some of the best lads who have made their mark * . ip more recent years. : ————————eE CHARLES FENWICK. om, Baseball Babble| Patsy Donovan's Superba’s open a se- ries of four games at gue Park Wednesday. Pastorious and Ritter and Egan and Grady will probably be the batteries. The Ravens are occupying third place in the race for the American League pennant as the result of their sensa- tional victory over Boston Tuesday, and the defeat of Detroit by Washington. Manager McCloskey has secured. Out-. fielder Marshall of the Vancouver team of the Northwestern League. Marshall formerly played with San Francisco and is said to be a hard and timely hitter. He has been notified to report at once. Otto Williams is covering the second sack for the Nationals in the absence of Schlafly, who was injured last week, The St. Louis boy is playing the field in excellent shape and has already made a hit with the Washington enthusiasts. Wagner batted in three of Pittsburg’s runs Tuesday and scored one himself. Jimmy Barrett has still to make a hit for Cincinnati. However he has not for- gotten his old trick of beating his way to first on walks. The collapse of the Boston Americans is real calamity. Thirteen extra inning games have been played by National League clubs to date. Hans Lobert has been sold by Cincin- nee to the Baltimore Bastern League club. On June 12 the world’s championship pennant will be awarded to the Giants at New York, and a gala day is to mark the event. There will be a rade of amateur and semi-professional clubs. The greatest improvement in Detroit's work this spring has been on the base paths. The team is stealing bases. and running extra bases on hits in a most gratifying manner. Already Matty Mc- Intyre, for instance, has stolen nearly as many bases this spring as he got all of last year. Al Selbach, the Boston left fielder, is reported to have given up bowling. He was an expert and two winters ago played in exhibition and match games in many cities, from Columbus to the Pacific Coast and return. As a result his arm “tightened,” and he was un- able to throw well from the outfield afterward until this spring. A course of treatment has brought his throwing wing into form again. Livingston is catching especially well for the Reds and Hanlon is very well pleased with the young man. And still the East is getting bumped in the Western series. They have fine and dandy press agents in the East, but the West has the goods. It seems a pity to think of Danny Green deteriorating, but that appears to be the fact. He is not hitting very well for the Brewers. and his weak arm is a handicap to him. Turner, the Naps’ clever little short- aton. is coiling some of late and rapidly coming to the front as one of the best lads in his position in the business. Detroit has the rirht spirit. The men plav ball and olay it for al’ they know until the last man fis shot down. that is the reason they are making | sood these days of ours. Danny Fitzmrerald, the Giants’ new catcher, is making rood to the extent of having several minor Jearue teams bidding for his services. It is possible McGraw vill ceive him a season’s hard- ening, and. Utica looks like the lucky team to get him. It is reported that the Boston fans are sore at the American League team that represents it. They want more victo- ries, but it looks right now as though the bunch would stick in the second division the season through. © Colling’ men have lost 12 straight. 8. J. Harbaugh of Glen Echo has achieved quite a sartorial triumph with hia knickerbocker golf suit. Bete a slender man, the short trousers become him immensely. The coat is something to dream about.

DOVY ELL FOR HAC ‘MADRALI VERY EASY KENSCHMIDT te, The great wrestling match for the championship of the world between Hackenschmidt and Madrali was de- cided at Olympia, London, on May 2, when Hackenschmidt beat his opponent by winning the first two bouts. The match was for the best of three falls, in the catch-as-catch-can style, no time limit, for a stake of £200, a share of the tee and the championship of the world. A very little preliminary sparring: took place before ackenschmidt got his man down, but in.the struggle they got off the mat, and the referee interfered. Madrali apparently grumbling. In a sec- ond or two he was up again, and trying — down for Hackenschmidt. Madrali as always wrestled in the catch-as- catch-can style, and he tried to employ his usual tactics, but Hackenschmidt never gave him the slightest chance to do so. To all intents and purposes the wrestlin was in the Graeco-Roman style, of which Hackenschmidt was a master before he learned to wrestle by the catch-as-catch-can methods. Twice Madrali tried for a leg hold and twice he failed. Hackenschmidt was as nimble as a kitten. Half-Nelson Wins First Fall. At Madrali’s second failure Hacken- schmidt went for him before he had time to recover his sition, and got him down with a half-Nelson. ‘‘He’s done! He's done!”’ shouted the crowds, but for a second or two, at any rate, the crowds were wrong. Madrali was en his back, but his shoulders were not touch- ing the mat. With one last tremendous effort he had tried the “‘bridge,’’ that is to say, he was arching his back to pre- vent his shoulders coming down fiat, and Hackenschmidt was, to all intents and purposes, on the top of him. Perhaps the people who grumbled af- terwards that,Madrali had been beaten too easily did not notice that splendid attempt of his to get free. Of course, there was never the slightest chance of its succeeding, and Madrali himself must have known that better than anybody else, but still he tried it. Hackenschmidt made the counter-move in a second. | re | Bo-Called Terrible Turk, Proved Inapt in the Science and. Art » Of Wrestling and Was the Easiest Sort of a Victim For the Russian Lion. Getting his arm across the Turk’s chest, he applied the “‘body press,"’ and so won the first bout. The people yelled with delight as the wrestlers separated. The bout had lasted only 1 minute 34 seconds. Madrali a Trifle Faster. When time was called again, how- ever, Madrali appeared to have learned a lesson. His movements were quicker than they had been before, and he roused the multitude to the wildest en- thusiasm when he succeeded with his favorite leg-hold, and brought Hacken- schmidt to the mat. Hackenschmidt was then on all-fours, and in a flash Madrali’s arms went round his waist. He had got a fair body hold, and it looked as if he might win. hen he tried to lift Hackenschmidt, but could not move him a hair’s breadth. His superior height was a disadvan- tage to Madrali; he seemed to have dif- ficulty in getting low down to his man. He bent over, ang made sqme move- ment to which the referee” objected. Hackenschmidt, still on all-fours, looked up, and appeared to be appealing against something. The referee interfered, amid shouts of ‘‘Let ‘em alone,” “Not two to one,’’ and so on; but the refereé was perfectly right, and Madrali altered his tactics at once. Then Madrali, putting all his strength in his grip, tried to wrench Hacken- schmidt from the mat. He failed. He tried again, and again, and again, and each time his Pp was less severe. He was wearing himself out to no purpose. Then Madrali made a fatal mistake. Having failed at the body hold, he let his hands go slowly up Hackenschmidt's waist towards his chest. The move was precisely the one for which Hacken- schmidt had been waiting. In a frac- tion of a second he gripped Madrali b the right wrist, pul him over an under, and then rolling over himself, pinned his man down. From the mo- ment that Hackenschmidt grip rali’s wrist the end was not indeed, many people foresaw the move before it was made, and shout that Hackenschmidt had won. Once Madrali was on his back Hackenschmidt's supe- rior strength soon finished matters, and the bout was all over in four minutes. GOSSIP == of the Golfers Gen. McGrew, who is willing to make large sacrifices in the cause of golf, of- fers Glen Echo for the Missouri State championship. Without being entirely? familiar with the circumstances govern- ing the allotment of this event, I will hazard the statement that if there is anything like a decent links at Joplin, Harnibal, Moberly, Sedalia or St. Jo- seph, the State championship would bet- ter be played at one of these places. Se- dalia, being central, would be an ideal location, always provided that the links are near championship variety. I would lay a liberal construction on the term, too. With the Western and local champion- ship, St. Louts will have enough of big golf events this year. Then, local play- ers should be glad of a trip away now and then. Those little up-State towns make very pleasant places to visit. Such events as golf championships are always affairs of moment to them and visitors are invariably treated with more con- sideration than in large cities. Even Kansas City, which is quite a golf town, would be better than St. Louis, even if it is at the other end of the State. St. Louis golfers are stay-at-home folks. It is to be desired that they acnieve the habit of travel. If they do there may be some of them in the national championships. If Gen. McGrew, who is a man of original ideas and who is imbued with a potential paternal prejudice in favor of the fair children of his own active brain, will accept a suggestion, I wouid urge him to promote a scotch and mixed foursomes tournament in 8t. Louis. Goif as played in this vicinage is largely a game of skittles. It is a biff, bang, bust all the time, no cogitation, no time, no self-sacrifice. 1 doubt that there is a man in St. Louls who would not rather play three balls in a four- some than do anything else. They do not have the golf fever. They are mere- ly actuated by a desire to hack at balls. Mr. C. W. Mansur of Gien Echo hits one of the best brassies in his club, even if he is no boy in years and weighs 240 pounds. His swing is good and resuits achieved always excellent.

Not only the game itself made vast strides, but the very men who were stars W years ago are the improved players of today. In the 80s Schaefer and Slosson were the best men playing caroms. Cham- onship oe were then played at 14 noah balkline. The players were aver- aging ten ints to an inning. ow with the game play at 18-inch baikline, quite a handicap against scor- ing In itself, these same fellows, Schae- fer and Biosson, are averaging from to 100 points to an inning. Ten years ago they barred the anchor nurse ause Ives ran 250 at it. Now they are running over 300 at open-table ithal tools, that is cues, tables, balls, etc., have been improved but very little. The conditions of play, 18 inches in balk to the 14 inches of yore, makes mga a matter of much greawe difficulty. But by #heer virtue of practice and experi- ence, the men who averaged 10 when in the flower of their manhood are now averaging 5B. Recently I called attention to the improvement in sprinting, jumping. trot- ting, weight throwing, football, golf and other outdoor games and the relative lack of it in baseball. Training, practice and methods of baseball y are the Same today ds they were vears ago. Bavé perhaps more neral indulgence in certain methods of run-getting, such as bunting to sacrifice, hitting and run- ning, the infrequent and dangerous and difficult squeeze play baseball is ag it was in the days of Anson and Kelly. The system of preparing, training, de- veloping and handling ball players is capable of endless improvement. Men who understand the methods used to perfect men for playing sports and games and who have also. understood baseball and the practices indulged in to prepare men for the demonstration of baseball say the methods are antique and away behind the times.:« This is a great reproach to the club owners and managers of professional baseball.

FREIGHT STEAMER ON REEF NEAR CHICAGO, CHICAGO, May 16.—The freight steamer Lewiston, bound from Buffalo to Chicago, which stranded last night on a reef about ten miles north of the Chicago harbor, is still in a perilous position today. Life-saving crews from Chicago and Evanston worked several hours dur- ing the early morning in an unsuc- cessful attempt to float the vessel: Later reinforcements were sent and it is thought the freighter will be re- leased today. The boat was loaded with hard coal and it is expected that a part of the cargo will have to be unloaded. A heavy fog caused the vessel to run out af its course. TWO YEARS FOR PERJURY. Former Policeman Dineen Said He Tied Shoestring. While other witnesses in a ice court case, with their hands uplifted, were being sworn, Policeman John Dineen was fumbling with his shoestring. He offered this as his defense in his trial for -perjury in Judge Reynolds’ court, but it did not impress the jury, and he was sentenced to a two-years’ term in the Penitentiary. Dineen said that it was a common practice of policemen to bend Over as though tying a shoe when they wished to keep from being sworn. As all the witnesses in a case are sworn together, Dineen said it was ad to escape ac- knowledging the oath. Dineen and former Patrolman William J. Coleman were dismissed from the force for assaulting May 16.—The

William Altherr, who had a pony and dog show on Jeffer- son avenue, and refused to admit some of the patrolmen’s friends free of charge. Altherr was brought into police court, and in his trial Dineen was said to have testified falsely. This is his second trial for the offense, the former trial result- ing in a hung jury. He has been dis- missed from the force. Coleman is now serving 4 year in the Workhouse for assault on Altherr. FIVE SEEK NOMINATION, Eleventh District Primary Set for June 13.

AMEND Special Session of - Assembly Asked to Enable High- way Improvement. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., May 15.—The spe- cial good roads convention, which con- vened in Columbia yesterday to discuss the question of securing a road tax in Missouri, voted this morning that the delegates should start in a body for: Jef- ferson City at 11:40 a. m. to present the resolutions to Gov. Folk. The object is to get the Governor to to obtain an amendment to the Const!- CON STITUTION

tution by which a road tax may be made possiblé. Such tax is not now in force, owing to the recent action of the Supreme Court in making it unconstitn- tional. The convention was in response to a call for a meeting of the county judges of the State to obtain means for road improvement. The resolutions call: for such amend- ment. to the Constitution ag. will .give to the County’ Courts of the various counties, upon a:majority. vote, the pow- er to issue bonds for, road. purposes to an amount within the limits now pro- vided by the Constitution for the issue of bonds. , In addition. ‘to "axes authorized for county purposes, the County. Courts may in their discretion. levy and collect a special tax not exceeding 3 cents on each .$100 valuation to be’ used for road and bridge purposes, under: the proposed amendment. State aid for road improvement and a constitutional amendment providing for a State road tax of 10 cents on. the $100 valuation are indorsed. An appropria- tion by the next General Assembly from the State revenue fund of $500,000 to be appropriated to the various counties of the State upon an equitable plan for road improvement.is asked. e Celebrates. 86th Birthday.

“SURE, ART IS THE BUM", FOR POSTMASTER On It Always Is, ialnies Sadaki- chi Hartman, Japanese- German- Yankee.

HE UNDERSTANDS SLANG

Says Time and Distance Usually. Ends Jealousy Among Artists. Sadakichi Hartmann, poet, painter and art critic; is in St. Louis. Son of a German Consul and his Japanese wife, born in Japan,.brought up in Germany and an American by choice, he is a strange mixture of the Oriental and the European, with’more than a veneering of Yankee. He is the guest of J. C. Strauss, who will entertain in his honor at the Growler this evening. Hartmann thinks nothing of the fact that he can write verse and less of his ability to paint. Everybody paints in Japan, he says, and the artistic ability is inborn. His life in America since his four- teenth year, when he began as an office cleaner and progressed to a pressfeeder and other hard labors has caused him to understand slang better than Prof. Halsey Ives does. Prof. Ives no later than Saturday morning demanded the meaning of ‘‘that vulgar expression, ‘“‘Art is on the bum.’ The tall, dark-haired, long-jawed art critic whose home is New York’s Bo- hemia, needed no such explanation. He said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: ‘Sure Artis on the bum. It always was and probably always will be. Artists are not wideawake men like photographers. The latter must struggle for place. the artists need not. Artists Are Jealous. “The artists make feputations for each other even when they are jealous. They know good work and they ac- knowledge it at some time. Their slow- ness in America in giving due credit usually lasts as long as the artist re- mains a contemporary.

It was so in American literature. There’ are no men now like Emerson, Long- fellow and men of their school.” Mr. Hartmann has been commis- sioned by the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg to make a collection ,of American and Japanese art. His view upon the difference between the art of the Occidént and the Orient is pro- nounced, “In the East materialism is idealism, and more attention. is to comforts,’ he said. “The homes are simpler and more artistic.

The old saying that there is plenty of room at the top applies to it as well as to any other. The ladders in the Government offices are too short in all cases. “Along the lines of an easy job, keep in mind that the world owes you a living, and while you are collecting it vou might as well see to it that it fs good one. If you do not keep on de- manding what is owed to you, however, the world will let you starve to death.

= = |= i id THE NO PASS RULE. If the railroads of this State adhere to their new rule not to give passes to the delegates to the State - conventions, there will be something of a revolution ., in the polities of the State. The hangers-on and - tools of the political bosses and candidates who have infested the State conventions heretofore will be conspicuous by their absence, and their absence will . be far more welcome to the people of the State than . their presence. ; Possibly the first effect of the rule may not be . salutary, unless the citizens who represent some- _ thing besides the special interests make the sacrilice necessary to attend the conventions and pay their way. The corporations and special interests who have selfish ends to serve in the party conventions will doubtless see that théir delegates get to the conventions. ‘The special interests are willing to put up their money to control the parties. * But the rule is right and will work out to the ad- vantage of the public if the railroads enforce it hon- estly, that is, if they cut off their own lobbyists and tools. Their honesty will be tested by the action of the convention, and the people can act accord- ingly. Having made this good start, the railroads would do well to pull out of politics altogether. They would _ be wise to abolish their professional lobbies and po- liticalwire pullers and go before the people asking : justice and doing justice. ‘This course will pay in the Jong run. :

+ -~vT YS Robert Barr, who irivested Dorothy Amhurst, hero- ine of “A Rock :in the Baltic,” with $15,000,000 and propounded the query: What will she do with it? solves the problem to his own satisfaction in that portion of his novel which forms the third Sunday - Post-Dispatch Fiction Library Section. Readers who have followed this thrilling romance will, on next : Sunday, have the opportunity of comparing their _ plans for the use of so great a fortune with the novelist’s ideal.

_— THE JAMESTOWN IDEA. When the Missouri Commissioner to the James- ' town Exposition reports that Missouri has been al- _ lotted one of the most prominent sites fronting on - Hampton Roads, we may take it for granted as a - recognition of what Missouri has done to “make _ good” for the original Jamestown idea. _* We once condensed this original Jamestown idea _ for our greater convenience into “Pike’s Peak or _ bust.” As elaborated by Capt. John Smith in his Be explanation of the reasons for founding Jamestown, t it meant really the same thing. ~~ "What so truly sutes with honour and honestie,” he asks, “as the discovering of thingés unknowne, erecting townes, peopling countries, informing the _ ignorant, reforming thinges unjust, teaching virtue “and finding employment for them that are idle be- 4 @ause they knowe not what to doe?” , _ This is the business Missouri has been in on this “side the Mississippi since the beginning. It has _filready done enough to entitle it to full recognition ow any exposition which represents honest John * Smith’s ideas and methods, But it has not nearly done all or even its best as yet.

He may not accomplish all he desires through party organi- zation, but experience proves that once in high office he can accomplish little or nothing except in co- operation with his polit-eal friends.

+e ->- -~V The anti-park arguments urged against the pur- chase by the city of the Fair Grounds for park pur- poses are not worth considering. The only question is that of price. What isa fair price? The estimates placed upon this property by those .who ought to know its value are below the price asked by the owners, who would probably accept a less sum. There ought to. be am agreement upon a fair sum which will compensate the owners for their invest- ment in the ground and the improvements, without putting too heavy a burden on the city. & — ee RUDE PRESIDENTIAL MANNERS The convenient theory that the President of the United States cannot lie carries with it an obliga- tion not to use his advantage over common citizens in a brutal or inconsiderate manner. If the high dignity of the office requires that the oecupant be protected from the petty controversies, annoyances and humiliations ineident to misi¢$es and unfortu- ‘nate disclosures, that dignity requires that the President refrain from using his advantage to the disadvantage of those in an inferior position. It is easy for the President, when a remark is in- convenientiy repeated, or when his conduct or con- versation in private is improperly made public, cour- teously to-hide behind the suggestion of a misunder- standing or a faulty memory or to use any one of twenty available excuses to avoid the direct issue of veracity or the brutal insult. But Mr. Roosevelt does not seem to recognize the obligation of superiority. He does not seem to re- alize the cowardice of. striking one who cannot strike back or of assaulting with vulgar epithets from the bulwark of superior position the humbler person who offends him. His pathway is strewn with the victims of his direct assaults. Mr. Roosevelt also seems to have overlooked the fact that it is difficult to maintain the dignity of a high office when the occupant descends to tricky strategy and petty dickering and brawling to accom- plish his ends. It is pity that the good intentions of President Roosevelt are so marred by conspicuous His manners are impossibie. +o -_________ In April, 1905, permits were issued for St. Louis buildings whose estimated was $2,983,178.

An English traveler declares that the purest Eng- lish in the world is spoken in the State of Kentucky. Moreover, he says that slang is not heard “in Ken- tucky and the neighboring regions along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.” Persons living in Boston and Dublin will, of course, want to be shown, just as if they were Missourians. but it is highly improbable that this Englishman’s judgment will be upset. But to Kentuckians and Missourians there is noth- ing astonishing in this. We have long known that blameless English is to be found only in the blue- grass region and those states which have,been vital- ized by Kentucky blood. And as for slang, what Missourian cannot say “search me” when asked if he has any of it in his héad? The ‘truth is the best English is found where the genius of the English blooded race is most robust and alive. We of the Middle West may not care for the English of Meredith and James, but we love that of Shakspeare, Addison, Tennyson, Arnold and Ruskin. We are not effete. We are not in decay. We are all here with the goods of English speech, pure, clear, direct, sincere. Boston may kick, Dublin may look superior.

LET IT NOT BE TOO DISTANT. To the Editor of the Pest-Dispatch. It is encouraging to note the prompt appreciation shown by your paper of the efforts being made by the First Ward Improvement Association to estab- lish an innovation in municipal art devotion. As you say, we are creating an era, new to municipal en- deavor, in striving to replace a plaster effigy with a more substantial bronze figure. Even Prof. Ives has seen fit to amend his first statement that art in St. Louis is on the “bum” by altering it to read “hum. It is on the hum, and if the First Ward Improvement Association succeeds in nothing better than inspiring your Machiavellian editorials, it will still be able to claim credit for having done a great public service in getting art and its value _ talked about so profusely.

A powerful cor- poration, already a home institution, proposes to buy a large tract of unproductive city property and erect thereon a plant which will cost a large sum of money, adding just s0 much money to the revenue- producing assets of the city and contributing thou- sands of men and their families to the coveted oe jon. The streets sought to be vacated, understand, lie almost entirely within the land which it is pro- posed to acquire, and @re of practically little use or value to the general public, and I think it is not claimed that the city ever paid anything for the land.

Hereafter the barbers at Alton will not hone a razor for less than 50 cents. The universal charge is 25 cents, but home shaving has increased to such an alarming extent at Alton that the bar- bers have found the prohibitive price necessary to their own defense. In New Jersey the barbers adopted an expedient which seem¢s fairer. They forbade any member of the State or- ganization to talk to a customer except briefly to answer questions. It is said that since the adoption of this rule home shaving nas fallen off in New Jersey with the precipitancy of H. Dumpty. To barber by coercion, as proposed at Alton, is imposing a hardship. Of course, when a man’s razor gets good and serrated, he will come in, but he will feel that he isn’t getting a square deal, and the beard on the back of his neck will bristle. Home shaving, now rendered impos- sible in Alton, is a great privilege and convenience to many. It is to it, un- doubtedly, that we owe the present era of smooth-facedness, for most men of limited means, if deprived of the privi- lege of self-shaving, would have to wear Dowies. eee MISCOUNT. “Loeb!

WEEPING PHILOSOPHERS Written for the Post-Dispatch By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

YOUNG man has written me a letter inter- A scpersed with Biblical quotations, expressing his disapproval of what he declares to be my pessimistic view of men, declaring that what the pub-- lic wants nowadays is optimism, and asking if I am not, by chance, the original of Mr. McCardell’s “Mrs. Nagg.”’ The last query, of course, I will have to refer to Mr. McCardell, and possibly if a stamped and addressed en- velope be sent him, he will reply to it. But it is not Of sufficiently general interest to warrant the use of the paper's space. The remark about the public’s love for optimism is, however, worth considering. There was a play called “The Optimist” ._produced in the East last week, that ran from Monday to Saturday night. The dramatic critics were not very kind to ie. But then dramatic critics are rank pessi- mists, anyway. The public generally that from this youthful censor'’s point of view is pining for cheerfulness did not slake its parched throats in this pool of optimism, but I hope this individual lover of optimism did not miss it. Editors and publishers spend their lives pondering what the public warts. And invariably they reach the conclusion that every new bid for | public favor is a leap in the dark and that nobody can foresee what the end shall be. Sounds like a hymn, doesn’t it? It is quite interesting to find any very positive view on the subject, and if I were really sure the young man is right I might be tempted to become an optimist. Optimism is very easy to write. But some one—Byron perhaps — re- marked that easy writing makes very hard reading. It saves one a great deal of trouble to assure people that to be noble they have only to wish to be so, and that if they will only believe hard enough that the moon is made of green cheese, some day they will be able to bite holes in it—the biggest, roundest holes that ever were. ’ It’s easy, but is it fair? The weeping philosopher is at heart happier than the languishing one. Pessimists are the only really cheerful people. They look at lHfe as a wise feminine philosopher did at matrimony, of which she said: “Expect much, wie be disappointed. Expect nothing, and you'll be agreeably sur- prised.”’ The optimist lives,in a perpetually miserable state of baffled expect- ancy. The optimistic young bride, for instance, who starts her married life with the idea that Sir Galahad wasn’t one, two, eight with her husband. hovers between committing suicide or sending out a general police alarm every time he stays downtown for dinner. But she of properly pessimistic outlook expects almost to be deserted at the altar and is apt to be grateful instead of exacting when she isn’t. ‘ Pessimism pays if one doesn’t take it too seriously. I am afraid one psy has done so. For his edification let us all cheer up. One—Two— ree! , i: hte NIKOLA GREEBLE ‘Solita

| STORIES TOLD IN WASHINGTON Te a Correspondent ef the Pest- Dispateh.

— WASHINGTON, May 16.—enator Tillmar fussed around for three hours in the Senate yesterday waiting for a »chance to make his further statement about the Tillman-Chandler-Roosevelt row. Senator Allison sat with his letter from the President in his pocket and gave no sign that he intended to say a word about it. “Shall yu do anything today, Sena- tor?” somebody asked Tillman. “Certainly,”’ Tillman replied, “if I can get amatch to ight my firecracker.” Demosthenes Dolliver of Iowa ap- peared in the Senate in a new spring suit today. “What color is it?’ asked a man to whom the news had been imparted. “O, brown or gray, or something like that, I guess.” “I didn’t know,” said the inquirer, “but it might be a cavalry uniform. Those suits are lavishly embellished with yellow, you know.” “T saw the newspaper men twice in a mass,’’ wrote the President in his let- ter to Senator Allison. “I saw the newspaper men twice in a mess,’’ ‘read the reading clerk of the Senate when he was reading the letter. Whereupon there were loud cries, for everybody knew the newspaper men have not had such a mess as the rate bill affair to deal with in a long time. A 2-year-oli watch and a dentist caused Speaker Cannon to be late in ar- riving at the Capitol today, the second time this session. The hands of the big clocks in the chamber of the House pointed to 12:6 o'clock and the Speaker had not appeared when Clerk McDowell wrapped the House to order. “I move that Mr. Dalzell be elected Speaker pro tempore,” said Represénta- tive Payne, the floor leader of the Re- publicans. The Democrats did not op- pose the motion and Mr. Dalzell was declared the unanimous choice of the House. He ascended the rostrum and calling the House to order gave the chaplain a chance to deliver his prayer. The chaplain had hardly said “Amen” when the Speaker pushed his way through the swinging doors, look as- tonished and then pulled out his watch. “Well, I'll be ——," the Speaker said, “T’m late again.”” The House applauded and as Mr. Dal- zell turned the gavel over to Mr. Can- non, Representative Williams said: ‘During the temporary absence of the: titular Speaker Mr. Dalzell was elected Speaker. My inquiry ie whether he was elected for the day or for the period of the temporary absence of the Speaker?” “Probably it will take both of us to run the House,” suggested Speaker Cannon. “With that response I wil] not at- tempt to drive the inquiry further,” Mr. Williams said. “I am inclined to think it will.” .

Fisherman Rescues Them From River After Series of Thrill- ing Adventures.

DRAGGED OVER A OLIFF

Balloon Caught on Rocky Pali- sades and the Anchor Rope Snapped.

LOSE COSTLY MACHINE

Stevens and Tisdell Were Try- ing to Take Moving Pictures.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May = 16.—Nothing so thrilling in the ballooning annals of this county has happened recently as the flight of Leo Stevens and Tracey A. Tisdell, professional acronauts, yester- day afternoon. Their balloon, on a moving-picture er- rand, was torn open on the sharp edge of the Palisades, opposite Hastings; fell like a wounded bird down the sheer 300 foot cliff, smashed the picture appa- ratus, tore loose from its anchor, near- ly brained its two occupants a dozen times in a field of rocks at the foot of the cliff, ap finally dragged them into the river; where they were nearly drowned. Neither man was hurt. The balloon was badly torn and the balloonists lost pill the ballast they. carried with them, waluable and otherwise. Two extreme- ly costly instruments for registering al- titude, the country, were ruined. Tisdell turned the crank of his picture gachine up to the very moment when, fn trying to toss it out on a ledge half way down the cliff, he only succeeded n dashing it to pieces on the rocks be- ow. This was the first time that any attempt has been made‘to take moving pictures from a balloon. The balloon sailed from the Bronx in iptop shape and everything went. until t collided with the rocky side of the alisades. Armchor Rope Snapped. Stevens threw out his anchor and it eld in a crevice of rock so firmly that hen the balloon yanked hard the an- hor rope snapped and the balloon ged along the rocks and over brush or a distance of about 300 yards,, finally ding the two men in the river. They ell in the water at a point just off ore. The gas which still remained in the balloon kept it afloat, and the tide, Which was running closely in toward the shore, impelled the balloon along at » lively pace. Stevens and Tisdell had, during all this time, maintained their itions in the basket and were still tt when they landed in the water. Hanging to the basket, they were dragged through the water across doz- ens of small but dangerously projecting rocks for a distance of 2000 feet. Final- ly, exhausted, half. drowned and half dead with cold and exposure, they were mencyer by Samuel Quinn, a fisherman oO of Alpine N. J. ern] SiGK HEADACHE

Lorimer Urges Perfect Organ- ization to Get Big Ap- propriation. Congressmen Randell of Louisiana, Rainey of Illinois and other members of the Executive Committee of the Na- tional Rivers and Harbors Congress, which will hold its annual convention in St. Louis, Nov. 15 and 16, departed for their homes Wednesday. The two days’ visit of the executive committee was concluded Tuesday night with a dinner at the St. Louis Club under the auspices of the Business Men's League. Addresses were made by Congressmen Rainey, Davidson and Lorimer. President Smith of the Business Men's League acted as toastmaster. Congressman Rainey referred indirect- iv to the Tillman-Roosevelt-Baliley con- troversy by remarking that after three vears no progress had been made with railroad rate legislation and that ‘the affair has finally ended in a dispute as to the veracity of certain distinguished gentlemen over a matter of no import- ance.”’ Solution in Waterways. “This problem,” said Mr. Rainey, ‘‘can only be solved by improving our rivers. The country has been asleep on water- way development. We have been hunt- ing rapid transportation to settle up our country and have built the greatest railway systems. ‘“‘Now the country is settled and we must turn out attention to cheap, trans- portation. \ “The abandonment of the Missouri River is one of the greatest commercial crimes of the century. “The freight rates to the Northwest have since been on the elim- ination of that stream as a factor in cheap transportation.” ‘ a similar argument.

DECORATION DAY Topeka City Conntil Refuses License, Declaring It Would Be Sacrilege. TOPEKA, Kan., May 16.—The . City Council of Topeka has decided that-a circus performance in this city on Decoration Day would be nothing short of sacrilege, and by a unani- mous vote has ordered the City Clerk to refuse a license for a show that has been advertised to take place here on that day. P. H. Conra, Department Command- er of the G. A. R., appeared before the Council to protest against the is- guance of the license. SUSINESs NOTICE.

wife lived in apartments over the Bell store and another store on the public square. Holland had a way of looking after the heating of the building and was often down in the store. Holland and Bell became very good friends. So far as any body had ever noticed, the relations between Holland and Mrs. Bell were extremely conven- tional. She seemed to maintain toward him the attitude of semi-reserve which she maintained toward everybody. He was a conservative, self-contained: man of affairs, 56 years old, a dozen years older than Mrs. Bell. More sympathy was expressed for Mrs. Holland than for Mrs. Bell. The banker’s wife occupied a position among the women of Marion in keeping with that occupied by her husband among the men. She was a leader in every- thing the women of Marion undertook. an attractive, intellectual, and forceful woman. She let it be known at once that her confidence in her husband was eomplete. The women talked to thefr husbands and found that they were in- clined to stand by Holland. That was the beginning of, the sentiment which resulted in the presence of the jury of women at the trial. Mrs. Bell came to share in the sym- pathy felt for Mrs. Holland and the confider.ce reposed in Mr. Holland. Mr. Holland was tried over the teacups and found not guilty. If he was not guilty, Mrs. Bell wasn’t, of course. And when somebody suggested that they go to the trial and show forth to the world what they thought about it, the women of Marion were ripe for it. After they had listened five days and five nights tc testimony strong enough to convince 12 men that both Mr. Bell and Mrs. Bell had offended, the convic- tions they had formed before they heard any evidence were unshaken. Son Watched the House. * Bell, Delbert Bell, oldest son of the couple, and Amanda Cole gave the strongest evidence against Mrs. Bell. Mr. Bell testified that he had seen Hol- nd leavin the Bell home on East ea wr eg Delbert told of having watched the house at his father's di- rection. He said he saw a man leave the house. Following the man, he claimed to ce recognized him as hannon Holland. Ours. Cole swore that both Mrs. Bell and Holland had come to her house. Mrs. Bell told of outbreaks of her hus- band’s jealous suspicion, for which she declared there was no excuse. She de- scribed afdramatic scene, which 0oc- curred in October. Her husband had gone to Carbondale, saying he would be gone all night. He returned late at night, and, on entering the house, called his wife downstairs. Pointing two re- volvers at her breast, he demanded that she sign a paper acknowledging that she had not been faithful to him and naming Shannon Holland. “I am innocent. I will not sign. Kill me if a will,” Mrs. Bell] testified that she said. He wavered and she ran from the house in her night clothes and sought shelter at the home of a neighbor. Lloyd Bell, the 16-year-old son of the couple, who has been loyal to his moth- er, testified to the incident also, . Shannan Holland was a witness. In slow, measured terms, he unequivocal- ly denied that there had ever béen anything improper between himself and Mrs. Bell. Mrs. Bell Wept Once. Mrs. Bell sat in a_ rocking chair close to her attorneys throughout the trial. She had been under a nervous strain and it was feared that she would break down, but she stood the Ordeal very well and made an excel- lent witness for herself. The only time she gave way to her emotions was when her 18-year-old son, Del- bert, was testifying against her. She broke down and wept then. Two women testified to conduct on the part of Bell. One was Mrs. Fannie Hester of Marion, who said that she had called at the Bell store. The other was Mattie Smith, a negress, formerly employed as a serv- ant at the Bell home. Mrs. Bell, since her separation from her husband, has been iiving at the West Side Hotel. She declined Wednes- day afternoon to be seen. Mr... Bell, seen at his store, smiled deprecatingly when the case was mentioned and de- clined to discuss it. He is a smooth- faced man of 48, with the affable habit which comes from business a Mr. Holland was not at the bank. It was said there he had gone to his farm.

came to St. Louis, leaving his wife there alone. Mrs. Peugnet says that her husband has circulated the most humiliating, scandaluus and degrading statements about her and has employed private de- tectives to spy upon her movements. Says Husband Ordered Her Away: In rsp | what happened on Feb. 7 last, the day of the final separation, she does not mention the Leonard ave- nue house. She says that Capt. Peug- net reviled and cursed her in the pres- ence of strangers and ordered her to leave his home forever. Since then, she says, he has refused to permit her to return to him. So that she may not get her share of his estate, she says, he is now making an effort to dispose of his property by giving it to his children. She estimates the value of the property to be $150,000. She asks for an absolute divorce and judamest for a sufficient amount for er support. She desires that the Court shall order Capt, Peugnet to put up se- curity for whatever amount may be al- lowed to her for maintenance. Peuguet of Proud Family. Captain Peugnet is a Frenchman of the old school with the bluest of blue St. Louis blood in his veins, proud of his ancestry, reserved and aloof with strangers, yet withal hot-blooded ands quick to resent an affront. That he will fight his divorce case few of his friends doubt. The woman from whom he seeks a legal separation is his second wife. At the age of. 31 she retains much of the charm which made her irresistibie to many prominent St. Louisans in the days of her early youth. She first dawned on St. Louis in 1895 when, as Alexina Louise Green- leaf, she came from Kansas City and found employment as a stenographer at the Boatmén’s Bank. Her services were highly prized by William H. Thomson, cashier of the bank, and for a time she was received by the wife and daughters of Mr. Thomson at their home on terms of equality. The young woman came in contact with many rich men who visited the bank, and she had no difficulty in at- tracting to herself powerful friends. Peugnet Quickly Won. In this way her social connections came to be different from those of many young women in her station in life. In the winter of 1900 Alexina Louise, stenographer, engaged apartments at the West End Hotel, she bearded the lion of aristocracy in its den and won a fortune. Captain Peugnet, a wealthy widower, lived there. A friend, one of her good and powerful friends, introduced her to the rich insurance man. One night he took her down to dinner, the next night to the theater and sooy ulck eyes about the hotel noticed that Peumnet had been selected as the pret- ty stenographer’s steady escort. It was a short courtship. The formal announcement of the en- agement was made by Peugnet Feb. , 1901, and the wedding was celebrated at St. George’s Episcopal Church, March 14, 1901, Rev..Dr. R. A. Holland offici- . Many prominent and wealthy St. T cuane were present. It was planned for Father? Kielty of Holy Angels’ Church to:*perform the cere- mony, but the bride was not a Catholic and she would not sign the required ante-nuptial agreement pledging the in- dissolubility of the marriage. For a time they tived at the hotel, then for a short season they boarded near,Grand avenue and Olive streets. And after that? Well, Alexina own as the mistress of boulevard home. a pretty house, which her husband bought and fitted up for her at the expense of a fair-sized fortune. Alexina Louise was on top now. She would do things right. First of all she must entertain. That was where the trouble com- menced. In her stenographer days Alex- ina Louise had learned to look at the world through Bohemian glasses. A theatrical man had been one of her good friends. He had often taken_ her behind the scenes where she met many members of the “profession.”’ Actresses at Her Home. Now that she was in the social swim she remembered what she had read of the triumphs of social leaders at New- port and other nice places who had scored success through the use of stage talent to amuse their friends. That is how it came about that Cap- tain Peugnet, when entering is Lindell boulevard home at any time was apt to stub his toe against a “famous mono- logue artist’ or a “little dancing sun- tiaam’’ from the vaudeville. ‘“‘Who are these persons?” he Loulse came into her the Lindell would “O,” replied Alexina Louise pertly, “they are some of the talent for my efitertainment tonight.”’ In vain Peugnet would protest that he didn’t want the house all cluttered up with actors and things. But Alexina Louise had been accus- tomed to have her own way and she continued to entertain her playhouse friends. Her husband says that her eccentricity went even further and that she was so careless of the conventional-

had ever been. Three times within a short period, Peugnet alleges, she visit- ed her Maryland avenwe friend at his home. ities that she openly visited a very weal- thy man at his apartments on Mary- land avenue. Phere, the husband says, she dined, and on more than one oc- casion remained at the house from 7 Pp. m. until 11 p. m. When Peugnet learned of these visits he became suspicious. It is said that through friends he learned of her close relations not only with the capitalist on.Maryland avenue, but with a bank- er, a young manufacturer and two the- atrical men. : ‘ Say Marriage Was a Plot. Some friends of Peugnet say that be- fore his investigation had proceeded far | he was told that his marriage to Alex- ina Louise was the result of a delib- erate plot, The plot, it was said, began in the form of a proposition to Alexina Louise that if she would cease to worry cer- tain of her influential friends they would see that she captured a rich hus- band. In pursuance of this plot, Peugnhet’'s friends Say, she was installed at the West End Hotel. After hearing these reports the hus- band quietly went to work to.obtain ev- idence which would establish any state- ments he might make ina petition for a divorce. He learned, he says. that during three years following their marriage she as- sociated with mén, that she visited im- proper houses and that she dined with men in their private rooms, in some cas- es remaining there for hours. Private detectives took a part in the investigation. They reported to Petg- net that in the summer of 199% Alexina Louige went to Put-In-Bgy, O., with her Maryland avenue friend. and that while there she traveled with him on side trips to various resorts, was away from her hotel with him at night fre- quently and was Suilty of “great and improper familiarity” with him, After her return from Put-In-Bay last Accuses Her Stepson. The last time Peugnet was waiting for her when she returned. There was a quarrel in which Alexina Louise, desper- ate and with her back against the wall, said something that brought the affairs of the Peugnet family to a tragic cli- max. She told her husband that among the ‘‘friends"’ with whom her relations had been close was his own son, Ernest

Jr. The husband staggered as from a blow. He could not believe whaf he had heard, but he began an investiga- tion of the charge. A few days later the wife of Ernest Peugnet Jr. left her home at Carthage and went to Texas. A week after that Ernest Peug- net Jr. went into the bathroom at the home of his father-in-law at Carthas@ -_ shot himself, dying almost instant- y. It was said at the time that the do- mestic life of Ernest Peugnet Jr. and his wife had not been happy for some time and that he had beén drinking heavily at Joplin for several days be- fore he killed himself. Louis’ Peugnet, after his brother's death, came to St. Louts from Nicar- agua and aided his father in gathering evidence against Alexina Louise. Peugnet’s friends says that the aveng- ing brother on the night of Jan. 1¢ caused the woman to be followed from a theater which she left in company’ with a famous minstrel, that she was tracked to a house, and that later he saw her leave Union Station for Chi- cago with the minstrel, The husband says that he attempted to commounicate with her while she was in Chicago, but that she gave him a wrong address.

ard avenue. There, the husband says, he found Alexina Louise the@enter of a crowd of merrymakers. He con- fronted her and begged her to return home with him. She scorned his ap- peal and told him she would remain where she was. One of the influential friends of her old days is said to have stood at her elbow when she threw defiance at her husband. That was the last straw. Twelve days later Peugnet filed his suit for divorce. His first petition merely alleged that she had rendered his life intolerable by associating with persons of objection- able character. Alexina Louise asked for alimony and was allowed $50 a month, but she has asked that this be increased to $300 a month. On May 1 Peugnet filed an amended petition, in which, without naming men or places, he sets forth the dates on which he says his wife was indiscreet. He alleges also that since the filing of the suit she has circulated the state- ments which she had previously* made regarding her relations with his son, Ernest Jr. Immediately after the incident of the night of Feb. 7, the doors of the Lin- dell boulevard home were closed to Alexina Louise. It is said that she tel- ephoned to her husband several times asking a chance to explain, but that she was notified that her effects had been sent to the home of her parents in Kan- sas City . Capt. Peugnet is said to have written a new will and to have gone to Cuba with his son, remaining there nearly two months. a, Yardmaster Is Beaten.

Conductor Said Boy's Feet Were Muddy and He Pushed Him Off. W. O. Lively, a conductor on a Broad- way street car, was sentenced to 30 days in the Workhouse Wednesday for kick- ing Henry Tiefenbrunn, a newsboy, off his car. Judge Moore of the Court of.

An attorney for the United Railways Co. urged in plead- ap ng leniency that the man had a amily. “That makes his offense all the more inexcusable,’’ said Judge Moore sternly. “If he has children of his own he sure ought to know how to treat the children of others.

He handed Flucks a roll, and when the jew- eler counted it, he declared:-it was $10 short. The stranger said there could scarce- ly be a mistake, and as he reached for the money to recount it, the woman, who is believed to be a confederate, and said she was ina great hurry. Would he not let her look at some ear- rings at once? As Flucks turned to wait on the young and handsome wom- an, the man, who had been carefully recounting the bills, handed them across with the remark that he had been in error.

CAPTURE TWO OF WICKLIFFE. BAND United States Deputy Marshals Trailed Cherokee Outlaws With Bloodhounds. Special to the Post-Dispatch. VINITA, I. T., May 17.—Ben Hungry and Ned Carselute, alleged members of the Wickliffe gang of Indian outlaws, were brought in last night by United States Marshal W. H. Darrough and his posse from the Spavinow Hills where they were captured: The Wickliffes, full-blood Cherokee Indians, have been in the hills over a month, since they fled after killing Deputy Marshal I.

in the murder of the deputies. Carse- lute harbored the Wickliffe brothers and Hungry the night before the battle, John Smith and his full-blood Night Hawks who worked under Marshal Dar- rough on the trail of Hungry and Carse- lue, effected their capture by means of bloodhounds. They went on after the Wickliffes, and up to this time have not been able to forces a battle with them. Hungry, Confesses. Hungry made a compiete confession to Marshal Darrough, admitting that he was with the Wickliffes when they killed Deputy Gilstrap and had been scouting with, the Wickliffes since Gil- strap was killed. Hungry had been pur- sued so closely by the Night Hawk of- ficers that he left the Wickliffes and in- tended leaving the country when he was captured. The confession was taken by Commissioner Farrar. Hungry says he joined the Kickliffes a week before the fight with Deputy Gilstrap. He claims he was present but took no part in the fight. He says John Wickliffe, the leader of the outlaws. shot Gilstrap and robbed the body. Hun- gry claims the Wickliffes forced him to stay with them after the fight and threatened to kill him if he left them. World’s Fair Wrecked Home. Mrs. Susan Stobie has been granted a divorce in the Clayton Circuit Court from her husband, Frank L. Stobie, Jus- tice of the Peace at Wellston. The couple had been married 22 years.

Principal W ws 8. Bryan, after watch- ing the futile efforts of a corps of work- men to remove the paint, said that the escapade was a piece of vandalism. Several of the girl members of the Class said those who did the painting showed Mang | had a lot of class spirit and a class which wouldn't do such a ar.

He said he thought it “a shame.’ The heaviest painting was done on the outside of the building. The north Steps were covered with what resem- bled Egyptian hieroglyphics. Inside the door there is a line of irregular daubs on the winding stairs, and then on the second corridor floors and on aay stairs leading to the south en- nce, “Boozer” and “oper.” In one of the corridors appear the two words, “boozer” and “doper,” painted in bold characters.

After attaching this pennant to the flagpole rope, the mischief-makers tied a stone to the rope. Then they Pulled the stone and pennant to the top of the pole and cut the rope. The stone pulled up the end of the rope. “This cannot construed,” said Prof. Bryan, to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “to be anything but plain vandalism, If I can discover the perpetrators I will cer- tainly expel them from the school if a are students here. encourage class spirit that is con- structive—that will build up the class.

WASHINGTON, May 17.—A sea level | canal across the Isthmus of Panama | has been formally indorsed by the Sen- | ate Committee on Interoceanic Canals | and Senator Kiltreadge will present his, bill at an early date. It will be opposed in the Senate by all the influence of the President, and he will exert all his pow- er to prevent legislation on this feature. Tt is not considered that any bill for a _ fea level type can be enacted. If the ‘Senate should. support the measure i “will fail in the House. In the absence of specific legtslation the President will construct a lock canal, in accordance with the recommendations | @ submitted by the advisory board of con- sulting engineers. He has full authority to adopt this course under the Spooner act, authorizing the building of a water- way. It is estimated that a sea level canal will cost $100,000,000 more than a lock canal. The sea level is estimated to cost 000,008, while the lock is placed at 125,000,000. It is estimated that 12 years would be required to complete a sea level canal, while the lock may be fin- ished eight years. Experts admit that as the sea level canal is merely a question of diggin the time estimated for its Seaatruction might be reduced below the estimate. The great dam at Gatun, which some engineers hold to be impossible, would not be necessary in a sea level canal. A dam at Gataboa would then be _ con- structed. There is a firm rock founda- tion at that point and no question of practicability has been raised. The advantages of a sea level canal are that the time required for the pas- gage of vessels is greatly reduced; de- lays in lockage are avoided; all the - usual dangers which attend the passage of large vessels through locks would be entirely avoided; there would be no ne- cessity for great masonry work; it would be more ‘durable and require less in the way of repairs.

PHELPS HAS GOOD LAUGH

All Agree That-Only 30 Per Cent of Democrats Will Travel.

Circuit Judge Samuel Davis of Mar- shall, Mo., a candidate for the Demo- eFatic nomination for Supreme Judge, in conversation with friends at the La- clede Hotel Thursday spoke with dis- favor of the action of the railroads in refusing to. grant free transportation to the delegates to the Democratic State Judicial Convention at Excelsior Springs May 3. “IT have been attending political con- ventions in Missouri for a good many years and I have yet to learn of a sin- le delegate whose vote was controlled by a railroad pass,’ said Judge Davis. ‘The first convention I attended was in 1876. At that time I recall very dis- tinctly that the delegates were furnished free transportation, and this courtesy, to my certain knowledge, has been ex- tended by the railroads to both parties ever since. Passes Allay Prejudices. “In what way are the railroads obli- gated to either party that they should furnish railroad tickets valued at thous- arids of dollars free of charge?’ Judge Dayis wus asked. ‘There is no particular reason that I know of why they should do so,” he re- pled. “{ presume they desired to get closer to the ple—to cultivate the friend- ship of the public and jus allay harm- ful prejudices that might exist against “Indirectly they would receive a bene- fit from the courtesy of granting free , but that such a practice smacks of bribery is to my mind a ridiculous charge. “Now what will be the result of the ti-pass rule. Hundreds of. delegates who had intended to go to the conven- tions will remain at home and their votes will be cast by others. . “Tf a candidate for Supreme Judge should attempt to defray the expenses of a delegate to the convention in or- ‘der to get his vote he would be guilty r bribery. “Surely, no candidate couldbe expect- ed to pay a delegate’s transportation without exacting from him a pledge of ar ao, “T doubt if one-third the delegates will personally attend the Excelsior Springs convention. If the convention is made up of proxies, then my chances of suc- | are ruined.”’ Judge Davis refused to estimate the number of votes already pledged to his sa eae F “My -friends ow J he remarked, “that 1 will get half of the Kansas City dele- gation, which a number of vetes in St. Louis. “But I am not making any claims. J see some of the clairvoyants at Jef- -ferson City are claiming everything fer my opponent. Well, that is all ob nape I suppose, but I won't assert ynership of a delegation until I get it, nor will make an unseemly scramble for this position.” Graves Claims 364 Delegates. Judge W. W. Graves of Butler, who Was appointed to the Supreme Bench by Gov. Folk, following the resigna- _ tion of Judge Marshall, is making the He claims ged delegates. It Friends of Judge Graves say that Judge Davis Bas thus far captured only six coun- ‘with a total of 31 delegates. e Graves is in St. Louis and e and Judge Davis are said to to line the St. Louis delegation, which has votes. reference to the anti-pass rule Sust ulgated a railroads, Chairman of the Tace against Judge Davis. of the Demo- In an interview published in editions of the ‘ost-Dispatch Wednesday, — Evans accused the gene ge a, ng snap judgment gn tt all the delegates to the convention.

It is such an exertion for him to take exercise. “TIT hope none of them will be so anx- ious to participate In the nomination of a supreme judge that he,will consider it worth while to pedal fr St. Louis to Excelsior Springs. Phelps Blames Demagogues. “Seriously, I do not believe that as many delegates will attend the conven- tions when they are required to pay transportation, as otherwise. Q “Quite a number have already told me that they would not attend the conven- tions if they have to pay fare. “‘I think the criticism of the railroads for granting free transportation was occa sioned by demagogues rather than by anything the delegates themselves said or did. “T know that many who are opposed to. the issuance of transportation to dele- gates have been very insistent in their demands for transportation for them- ‘selwes, their families and their friends. “They think the management of all political matters should be left in their hands. If those who oppose the railroad companies’ giving passes will pay fare themselves and will not ask for it for chair warmers who sit around head-

quarters waiting for countrymen to come to town to receive from them a4 great deal of misinformation concern- ing the political situation and expect in return to be asked out for a drink or a free lunch, it will no doubt be gratify- ing to the railroad companies.” DARING’S MOTHER DIES. Frank N. Darling, musical director at Delmar Garden, has been called to New York by a telegram announcing the death of his mother. He will return aft- er the funeral, which takes place this week, and resume rehearsals of the musical features of the “Isle of Cham- pagne,’’ with which the Delmar Garden Theater egins its season Sunday, May 27. It is a remarkable coincidence that Mr. Darling was called away from Del- mar just before last season's opening by news of his father’s death, the announce- ment. coming while rehearsals were under way. John E. Young, leading comedian of the Delmar company, and Pearl Re- vare, the second soubrette, arrived Thursday and at once reported at Del-

mar Garden, taking part in the forenoon rehearsal. Frank Stammers. produce™ for Lew Fields and stage director for Delmar Garden, is also in the city and has assumed direction of rehearsals. MADMAN CAPTURES DREXEL'S YACHT = Seaman Attacked With Reli- gious Mania While Ves- sel-Is in Berth. NEW YORK ,May 17.—Standing at the companionway of the yacht Atreus, owned by George W. Childs Drexel of Philadelphia, tied up at South Brook- yn, John Neilsen, a seaman, suffering from religious mania, with revolver in hand, compelled the crew of five men to remain below deck from Tuesday. evening until yesterday. For eight hours Neilsen, by the light of a lantern, read passage from the Bible. The terrified men, unarmed, jlocked themselves in the cabfn. John Larsen, boatswain’'s mate, man- jaged to make his escape from the yacht

FATHER TO GIVE ALIBI. . ’ . Patrick O’Donnell Denies Rob- bing a Fruit Stand. The police will apply for a warrant against Patrick O'Donnell, who says he is the son of a@ contractor living at 4356 Cook avenue, and who was arrested Thursday by Detectives McQuellen and McGrath on suspicion of being one of the men who robbed John Makrigan in his fruit store at 2335 Franklin avenue Saturday night. O'Donnell denied the offense, but was identified by Makrigan as one of the men who held a chair over his head while the other took $7.50 from the cash drawer. Makrigan Says the men filled their pockets with nuts and fruit after procuring the money. O'Donnell was arrested as ‘he was leav- ing the Court of Criminal Correetion. where he had been a witness in the case of Maggie Keekie, charged with assault En es- and battery. He “ his father im.

May 17.—Jerry Hayes was arrested in Bingham yes- terday afternoon charged with the mur- der of Mabel Pageiat Weston, Mass., March 31, 19064, for which crime Charles L.. Tucker is awaiting electrocution on June 10. The arrest of Hayes came _ about through a peculiar’ clain of circum- Stances. He has been in Bingham off and on for the past two years. He , boarded in .Bingham village with Mrs. ‘Maria Brown. One day last February he entered the house with a newspaper in his pocket. Hi’ landlady asked him to let her see {t, as she wanted to Know what had be- ' come of Tucker. ~ “0, he’s got the chair,’’ Hayes re- plied, “‘and it is a Incky thing for me he has, as I might be in his place.” “What do you mean?’ asked Mrs. Brown. “Why, I was in the Weston house a few moments before the murder oc- curred and just got out in time to es- ‘cape the hubbub caused by finding the murdered girl.”’ Man in Bine Overutte.

E. Todd, a_ well own lawyer and politician of Noko- is, Ill., 84 miles from St. Louis, ended hhis life by cutting his throat while his Wife was absent from home. fAt the recent Montgomery County emocratic primary, Todd was defeat- for nomination for the office of dge of the County Court. He had en defeated in 1898 for nomination for e same office, and in 1891 had ob- ined the nomination, only to be de- ated at the polls. His latest defeat came with crushing ree. He had counted on the support of certain politicians, but the returns from the districts where these men Were supposed to control votes con- Vinced him that the promises had not been kept. iMrs. Todd, who returned from a visit her sister at Lincoln on learning of rr husband’s suicide, said Thursday at he had been deeply chargrined at failure to obtain the nomination, t that he had given no intimation of purpose to end his life. note which he left asked that his fe and his three children be not al- wed to see his body. Another note ked his brother to care for the widow md children, and a third bore the sen- nee, “It was the curse of drink. is friends say he had not been di k- g to excess. Rev. D. V.

Maroney and an Astonishing Skule Committee of Six Solemn. Citizens — Novel Entertain- | ment at Odeon Friday Eve- ning, There'll]: be a mighty big attendance at the “‘Deéstrick Skule’ at the Odeon Fri- day evening, judging from the advance sale of reserved seats which opened at Barr’s on Wednesday morning and is now under full headway. This isn’t merely because the entertainment is un- der the auspices of the auxiliary society of the Baptist Orphans’ Home, nor sole- ly because Mr. Andrew C. Maroney, the terror of evil-doers, will be the strict and inflexible ‘‘skulemaster,’’ nor yet simply because many of the leading so- ciety women of St. Louis are among the natronesses of the event—no, indeed! The vital reason is that one of the most astonishingly amusing entertainments every given in St. Louis will then and there be offered, the cast of the produc- ing company being brilliant with the. names of ordinarily grave and dignified St. Loulsans who, for the time being, assume the mask of comedy and woo laughter from the lips of the multi- tude. Funny ?—that isn’t the name for it! There'll be a discovery of hitherto un- suspected humor calculated to make pro- fessionals green with envy. For it’s on the bills that all this shall come to pass—and there are 50 ‘“‘skol- lars’’ under contract to make it come to pass, not counting Mr. Maroney himself, who appears as Pedagogue Nathaniel Chuzzlewit, nor yet Mr. William Taylor as Buddy Honeysuckle, a 4-year-old; nor Mrs. Frances Reed as Sissy Honey- suckle, who looks after Buddy; nor Mrs. W. A. McCandless as Mrs. Honeysuckle, Buddy and Sissy’s mamma; nor Frof. Arthur Lieber as the most amazing mu- sic master you ever saw in your life. And they’re crackerjacks themselves— the Big Five of musical comedy Neither is that all, for there’s a Skule Committee which is said to be the fun- niest ever, each especial and particular member being premier comedian in his own peculiar line. Who are they—these topliner stars on the Skule Committee of the ‘‘Deestrick Skule?’’ Why, no less distinguished a_ sextet of St. Louis vaudevillains than Gov. E. O. §Stanard and ‘‘Deacon’’ Alphonso C. Stewart and “Judge” F. J. McMaster and ‘“Prof.”’ Sim T. Price, and Judge Shepard Bar- clay and “Squire” Thomas W. Crouch. It'll be the strangest thing in the world if these Six Sidesplitters, beginning right with Gov. Stanard, aren’t besieged with golden offers from theatrical managers = we “THE Trg” Y (IRS.

And not only will there be comedy every minute during the per- formance, but it'll be accompanied by music—and nat all music of the topical and evanescent class, either. Mrs. David Bauer will sing two delightful solos, one of her numbers being an especially tune- ful Robyn song, and Mrs. Nora Hughes Morse will also be heard in a beautiful solo of truly soul-satisfying quality. While, as for the incidental music—well, the Glen Echo orchestra, under Director John A. Eggert, will furnish this, and when that’s said there’s no need to say more. The program of the entertainment is in itself full of golden promise empha- sized in poesy. It starts off with a quo- tation from “The Deserted Village,”’ which gives one an impressionist picture of the ‘“Deestrick Skule’ with Mr. Ma- roney at its head, such as couldn’ t have been conveyed in any other manner. (Here it is: Beside Phy straggling fence that skirts the straight With hiceinen? d furze unprofitably gay, There. ir his noisy mansion, skill’d to rule, The village Master taught his little school. Can't you see the ‘‘Deestrick Skule’’ in those lines—and especially Mr. Ma- roney, its Master? But’ Mr. Maroney doesn’t get off that easily, however, for right under his name on the cast ap- ars the following pen portrait, graph- ape its terseness—and no doubt shiver- ingly subscribed to by a member of the St. Louis Police Force: ‘ A man severe he was, and stern to view; I knew him well, and every truant knew.

Thomas Kennedy, a negro, who was fined $10 for disturbance of the peace in Judge O’Halleron’s court Wednes- day, lays all his trouble to the fact that he has been allowing a porter named Johnson, employed at Nolan’s drug store at Goodfellow avenue and Suburban tracks, to break bottles over his head. He says that breaking the bottles became so common that Johnson grew tired of the sport and insisted on breaking a large stick on Kennedy’s skull. On the occasion when Kennedy’s ac- tion resulted in his being arrested he entered the drug store with a club and threatened to clean out the place, Robert Johnson, a clerk in the store, notified a policeman, who arrested Kennedy after a chase. On’the witness stand Kennedy said that his mind had become affected by the continual breaking of bottles on his head. He said the club he was carrying at the time of his arrest was the one the porter wanted to test on his skull. He thought the porter was only trying to amuse himself at his expense. The thought made him an- gry and he took the club and began looking for a fight. Fast Service to Michigan Via Illinois Central Railroad. Daily, be- ginning June 24.

His skuH was ‘fractured and it was said at Roosevelt Hospital that he may not live but a short time. A news- boy who saw Mr. Arthur fall says he slipped on the top step. His body turned over several times before it land- ed on the cement floor at the bottom.

NOTE FROM MAN WHO SHOT SELF Emil Weber Returned to Miss Charles Letter Written About Lawsuit. The envelope addressed to Miss Helen M. Charles of 5060 Maple avenue, which was left by Emil Weber, a former Sub- urban mottorman who shot and killed himself in the Glendale station house Tuesday, reached Miss Charles through the mails Wednesday. It was sent to her by the St. Louis County Coroner. It contained a note from Weber, asking that she testify in Webers suit for al- leged damages from an operation at the Centenary hospital while Miss Charles was studying to be a trained nurse. In the note Miss Charles simply Stated that she knew nothing of the case and therefore could not testify According to the custom of Nurses she wrote this benediction at the end. “May the Lord bless: you and keep you and give you peace.’ When the note was returned there was scrawled across it, “The Lord would have blessed me if you and others had testified to what you knew of the operation that caused me to lose a limb and to drive me to this.”’ Rev. Dr. B. H. Charles, retired pastor of the Brank Mémorial church, said that his niece and her relatives were much relieved when the note was re- ceived and read.

Rosenheim at the Hotel Jefferson, and while the guest slept to rob him of near- ly $2000 in diamonds and money. Mennick climbed over an outside win- dow and up a fire escape to the, fif® floor, where, he declares, he saw a win- dow left invitingly open. He saw the guest asleep on his bed, and he went through his pockets and escaped with- out detection. After telling how he had entered the guest's room, Mennick said to a Post- eepatch ze orter: conciuded to take a loo t th stuff I had stolen, There wok a cash.

Is UP TO WHITE HOUSE Attack on Bailey’s Integrity ~, Puts. President in a Bad Light. : + | NOTE TO LOEB MISUSED Chandler Will Publicly Deny ~ He Made Statements At- tributed to Him. . * “Man Who Inspired Attack on Me Is a Liar,’”’ Says Bailey. The Chicago Tribune, recog- nized as practically a personal . organ of President Roosevelt’s, published a story attacking , Senator Bailey’s integrity. It camé from the Washington cor- » respondent, and stated, in effect, that Mr. Bailey was regarded as a traitor by men high in his - own party. When his attention was called } to the publication, Senator Bai- ley, evidently believing that the \ item was inspired and had its origin at the White House, if Roosevelt éhe not from President . direct, arose in _ chamber and said: » “I denounce the publication as - am unqualified, deliberate and - malicious lie. I denounce the > correspondent ag an unqualified, _ deliberate and malicious liar. I denounce the man. who inspired » the statement as an unqualified, . deliberate and malicious liar, _ whoever he may be and how- _ ever high thé office he holds.” When he first spoke, he did ' not have knowledge of a sim- - ilar publication in the New } York Tribune. His attention |. being called to it, he rose @gain ; and’ applied the same 0 afin _ to the New York story. Senate ly Wire From the: Washington Bureau of the t-Dispatch. — IWASHINGTON,. May 17.—Ex-Senator mandier will go on record today in- Gignantly repudiating the Chicago Trib- e story that he notified the White fouse that Senator Bailey was re- rded with grave suspicion by the | pm, c PLATT Some Prominent Men Whose Veracity Has Been Questioned by the President Fhoie Cerr-rsght Ax Dopand Democrats during the rate bill discus- sion. It was this story that brought out Baliley’s terrific denunciation yesterday, in which he placed the inspiration of the story right up to the White House. This note from Chandler to Mr. Roosevelt is on file at the White House and presumably only Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb have access to it. How the Chicago Tribune's correspondent learned of it is a matter of surmise, , but as the Tribune ‘is to all intents and purposes an organ of the President, wide-awake Washington has its ideas well developed. Bailey sent to ex-Senator Chandler and asked for a copy of the memorandum as soon as the Chicago story arrived here: He obtained it and will put it in the Congressional Record, together with a jetter from Mr. Chandler. Chandler left his memorandum or note with Secretary Loeb on April ii.

I do not know what their game is, except that it is to defeat him (meaning the President). Senator Tillman will continue to co- operate with the President. Please hand this to the President.’ This note was left for Loeb by Chandler on April 11, the day before Senator Bailey had made his great speech in favor of his amendment. Between April 11 and 14 Senator Bailey says he received word from two Democratic Senators, whom he does not namie, that the President had said to them that he would insist on the Bailey anti-injunction amendment if Attorney-General Moody would say it was constitutional. Acting on this information, Bailey accepted the invitation he _ received from Chandler on April 14 to confer with Moody, and he went to see Moody on Sunday, April 15, or four days after Chandler left the note with Loeb for the President, in which, it is charged, he called Bailey a traitor, Senator Bailey intends to make all these facts clear today, both by the submission of the exact text of the Chandler memorandum and the letter from Mr. Chandler in which these facts are recited. -He declares that this chronological history of the af- fair clears both Mr. Chandler and him- self and leaves the President in a still more embarassing position, VW, as he intimates, and as is generally charged, he inspired the publication of the dispatches which were de- nounced by Bailey and Tillman. After Senator Balley learned the substance of the Chandler memoran- dum and before he had the exact text, he saw Mr. Chandler and said to him: “Why did you, in .this memo- randum, exclude me from co-operation with Senator Tillman?” “Because,” replied Mr. Chandler, “I had never talked with you about the rate bill. I knew nothing of your position at the time I wrote it, and, therefore, was not authorized to say anything in regard to it. I did know Senator Tillman’s position and was warranted in explaining it to the President.” “That explanation,’’ Senator Bailey said, ‘is perfectly satisfactory to me.” There is great curiosity in the Senate to learn the language of Mr. Chandler's communication to Loeb. When Sena- tors heard what it was and also heard the recital of facts connected with it, they were amazed that the. President, if he thought that Senator Bailey was working against the limited review amendment in common with the railroad Senators, should have asked Bailey te confer with Attorney-General Moody, and should have allowed the negotia- tions to continue until he broke them himself by embracing the Aldrich gold brick in the shape of the Allison amend-' ment. : They think another explanation is due from the White House, provided, of course, the White House had anything to do with pene the articles Sena- tors Bailey and Tillman denounced. They asked who could have inspired them but the White House, for nobody knew what was in the memorandum but the President and Loeb, and Tillman and Chandler evidently did not think aBiley a traitor, for they continued working with him and are working withy him yet. A stenificent thing about this whole controversy, involving, as it now “does; the veracity of so many men of prom- inence, is that since Senator dge arose last Saturday and delivered to the Senate the President's telephone mes- sage that ex-Senator Chandler was a “deliberate and unqualifid’ liar, not a Republican Senator has raised his voice in defense of the President, and the only utterance upholding the President OLD EMPLOVE ENDS HIS LIFE IN STORE Charles Brown, in Ill Health, Shot Self in Simmons Establishment, LITTLE WORD USED BY ROOSEVELT HAS ENDED MANY LIVES a a WASHINGTON, May 17.—The epithet “liar’’ does not mean a fight or a foot-’ race in Washington, as it does in the South and West. Liar has three meanings in Washing- ton: Executive, legislative and com- mon or garden. The executive meaning is that some- body has told the truth about you. The legislative meaning is that some- body has told something uncomfort- able about you. The common or garden meaning is that somebody has lied, but that coarse interpretation is rapidly. falfing into disuse. It is being crowded out by. the executive and legislative meanings, so to speak. IT MEANS DEATH OR A DRINK IN KENTUCKY. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 17.—The le in Kentucky means death or the drinks. Generally speakirg, it means a fight; and for any man to swallow the He means that his streak of yellow is so broad and long as to make him con- temptible in the eyes of his fellow men. Years ago in a famous Republican State Convention at Music Hall in Louisville two factions were headed by scions of the bluest-blooded families in all Kentucky. They were the Goodloe and Swope families. One faction was led by Cassius M. Goodloe, and Armi- sted M. Swope led the other. Dirty pol- litics was dragged in, and then came ersonalities, personalities too sacred or expression. The lie was passed, Goodloe giving it to Swope. Everybody that afternoon looked for a killing, but with the persuasiveness and argument attendant upon all State conventions, especially in Kentucky, the men were kept apart, but those who best knew A. M. Swope and Cas- sius Goodloe knew for certain that the lie which had been passed meant a death. It meant two deaths. For months the men were kept apart. But each went armed and each was ready for a fight to the death. Both Goodloe and Swope had letter boxes In the Lexington Postoffice. One afternoon Swope went after his mail. He was leaning over, locking his box after taking out his mail, when Goodloe camé in. As Swope looked up and saw Good- loe, two lives were doomed. Swope drew his revolver and Goodloe his’ knife. Three bullets went all the way through Goodloe’s body, and with fearful effect Goodloe plunged his long knife into Swope’s body. Nelther said word then. They meant to kill. Goodloe died in the Postoffice lobby and his last -s Comparatively Safe to Call a Man a Liar in Washington, but in Some Other Places It Means a Fight or a Footrace —Some Famous Duels. words were: “He bellowed like a calf,” Swope was taken to his home and died that night. That is where the lie in Kentucky means death. Here is where it means the drinks. A few years: after the Goodloe-Swope tragedy, Jack Chinn and Bob Tucker, both famous in, the turf world, had the most prominent stables at Latonia race tracks. Tucker was handling the string of Capt. Sam §. Brown, and Jack Chinn had his own stable, headed by the mighty Lissak. Something had gone wrong and some- body went to Tucker and recited how Jack Chinn had called him numerous kinds of and un——- liars. Tucker is nothing if not game, and straight to Jack Chinn he went. The genial Jack laughed at the wrathy Rob- ert and said: “Say, Bob, if you listen to all the — liars in this world -you will have dyspepsia. Let’s have a drink.” They had a drink and there the inci- dent ended. LIAR MEANS FIGHT OR FOOTRACE IN TEXAS, Special to the Post-Dispatch, HOUSTON, Tex., May 17.—In Texas the epithet ‘“‘liar’’ is an invitation for trouble. When used by one Southern gentleman to another deliberately it is with the understanding that it calls for violent resentment. It is a direct thrust at his manhood and means a fight or a footrace. Ho overlook the epithet iIndi- cates either guilt or cowardice, and, with a silent acceptance of either, all right to be called a gentleman is for- feited. An immediate apology is de- manded, otherwise the resort is to pis- tols, either upon the spot, if both per- sons happen to be armed, or afterward. Frequently apologies are forced at the revolver point. So general is the understanding and so positive is the sentiment that the epithet is seldom used except with the deliberate purpose of provoking trouble or in return for a positive and a ma- liciously uttered false statement. As a matter of course, such episodes are sel- om made public, more especially when ey occur between prominent men. The exception in instances proves the rule. No story of public life in Texas is more widely known than is the event in which President Sam Houston figured. To. this day men speak of it with won- —_—— er. During the days when Houston was the chief executive of the Republic of Texas, politics were at a white heat. Every man was interested and every man was prepared to back up his as- sertions by force of arms. One day while on his way to the executive mansion President Houston was accosted by a bitter enemy. Abuse was heaped upon him. In the course of the argument the President was called a “malicious lar.”’ “Your saying so does not prove it,’ ——_—nme DOORKEEPER LONG TIME He Had Recently Bought New Home on Itaska Street— Left a Note. Charles W. Brown, for many years doorkeeper for the Simmons Hardware Co., Ninth and Spruce streets, was missing from his Thursday. Six hurdred employes of the establishment missed his nod as they passed through the doors, and many customers during the day inquired about him. They were told that Brown had ended. his life. Brown left his post at 5 p. m. Wednes- day and went to a lavatory on the sec- ond floor. He took off his hat and coat, a bullet through his brain. He had been a bullet through his brin. He had been in {ll health for several months. Those on the second floor heard the report of a revolver. but thought it came from a box falling on the floor and paid no attention. A boy on the floor named Cullen, however, had keen- er ears and went to investigate. He dis- covered the lifeless body on the floor and fled in terror to the manager of the house. Not wishing to frighten the employes, mostly women and girls, the officers of the company kept news of the suicide from becoming current and obtained permission from the Coroner to leave the body in the lavatory until the store was closed. Had Bought New Home. Brown lived at 3568 Itaska street with his wife and 10-year-old son. He had recently moved from 3629 Missouri ave- nue and had paid $200 on the home, which he was buying on the installment plan. Brown had recently returned from a trip to Colorado for his health. He formerly had been a hotel clerk. On the body a note addressed to Wal. lace D. Simmons was found. It will be given to Mr. Simmons at the inquest, Which was begun Thursday. It presumably contains explanation of his reason for committing suicide. Two promissory notes, each for $300, were also found. One was marked paid, but the other had gone to protest March 2%. They were indorsed by W. D. Simmons. A dfamond ring, a diamond stud, gold watch and $7.50 in money were found on the body. Brown was 45 years old. He wag of a cheerful disposition and was well liked in the establishment. He recently told Al Nert, from whom he was buy- ing his home on Itaska street, that he did not mind living so far from the car line, as he would not have to walk long. In the presence of Nert, Brown told his 10-year-old son that he would leave him enough money to pay for the home and to educate himself, as he had $5000 life insurance.

The episode has been handed down in Texas history as a remarkable event. The innocence of Sam Houston in the charge preferred is said to have been proven and now that the greatness of the liberator of Texas is again nized in the country he once pollen. § the event is accepted as indicating his strength of mind, his self-control and his s riority over, not alone his ac- cuser, but over the eral run of men. In Texas Senator alley is not placed upon the plane of the man who accused President Houston. He is accepted as a man of honor, and when he applies the epithet of “liar’’ those who Ow m believe that he does so with deliberation and forethought, with the know! e in mind that it a mortal insult, its silent acceptance indicating the guilt of the man he accuses, FREQUENTLY FOLLOWED BY DUEL IN GEORGIA.
