Caused Financial Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 1.—‘‘My entree into politics was the beginning of my downfall.”’ This is a part of a written statement left by James Van Peyma a West Side politician and formerly a wealthy hard- Ware merchant, who shot himself yes- terday afternoon in his home at Fifth street and Parallel avenue. : “I did so,’ he wrote in reference to his entrance into politics, ‘‘from the purest motives, and not from any mone- tary consideration. I knew the fascina- tion of the game, but unless a man is very rich or very poor he had best take no active part in it. During my life I have not accepted a dollar of tainted nroney nor taken advantage of the mis- fertunes of others, though [L, have had many opportunities. I will go to my grave an honest man, although I do not think I am entitled to any great credit for this. Enters Politics As Reformer. ‘‘During the year 1990, two of our good citizens were making a strenuous fight for the benefit of the people of. this city to ol.tain a better street car service and a lower fare without any expectations of reward except the applause of their fellow citizens. At that time I was financially independent and, without any solicitation on their part, I conaluded to help them ali I could. I found that Mayor Marshman and his Council did not recognize the value of.a renewal of the the Metropolitan franchise. I believed wre — Once Wealthy Merchant, Who Began as Municipal Reformer, in Dying Statement Says Fascination of Politica] Game Ruin and Suicide. & »the only way we could accomplish our object was a change of administrations and a platform on that basis. As no Republican would run on guch a pilat- form, there was nothing to do but ap- peal to the democracy, “The nomination was offered to many leading Democrats, but they — it, believing it was a hopeless task. H. Craddock, under protest, finally a accept: ed the nomination and was elected.’ Mr. Van Péyma was an active commit- teeman on the street railway war on the West Side. But the Metronolitan won out. Died for Family, Says Wlife. “He killed himself-for his family, my- self and our seven children.’ This was the statement: made yester- day afternoon hy Mrs. Van Peyma in speaking of the suicide of her husband. “He had always been kind to us and, since his financial reverses, became de- spondent because the children could not have everything he would like them. The ‘mortgage on the home will soon be due and we could’ not have met the notes. To save the home and allow us the benefit of his life-insurance money, he took his life.’’ Mr. Van lP’eyma, upon his arrival in Kansas City, formed a partnership with J. M. Gille with the firm name of Gille & Van Peyma. They conducted a larve wholesale hardware business in the West Bottoms. Later the firm was in- corporated under the name of the Gille Hardware Co, In the letter to his children, Peyma urges them to be honest, low always the advice of their and to stattd by one another. Mr. Van Peyma’'s attorney said last Mr. Van to fol- mother

night that his late elient’s life insurance left to his wife-and children would ag- gregate $30,000. _

in

MILLIONS ARE RECEIVED

Saturday Was First Day on Which Taxes Could Be eee Paid i in City. sohaal A crowd that ite no time during the day numbered less than 500 and at the noon hour rose to 3000, thronged #nd sweltered about a counter not over 50 feet long in the Collector's of- Hiee at the City Hall Saturday to save a small rebate on their city taxes of- fered by the Coilector for prompt pay- ment. Sept. 1 was the first day Which the taxes could be paid. Two uniformed policemen and two plain clothes men from the Central District were assigned to watch the crowd. Every taxpayer present had on him an unusual amount of money and many of the women kept. their money in their hands from the time they entered the office and began their long, weary fight for a stand, at the counter. It was a bargain day. Almost ons half were women. Many of them st oun for hours to save a sum of money which in few instancés exceeded 10 cents. The rebate offered was 8 per cent per annum. As the taxes are due as well as payable Jan. 1, the nébate is only for the four months ! from September to January, wr Rage per cent. This rebate is‘ allo ly on the city portion of the tax “i 0 that the percentage allowed on the total bill is about 1.5-per cent. This al- lowance On $100 taxes would be.$1.50. Not one in 100 of the bills paid amounted to $100. Some of the bills that women scrambled to pay amount- ed to no more than 60 cents, and the rebate was 1 nt or less. Corporations Sent Checks. , . The big corporations whose taxes run up into hundreds of thousands of dol- lars were not represented in the scram- ‘ble. For the past month they have been sending. in to ascertain’ the exact } amount of their bills if paid on Sept. 1.

But e question of Government ownership and carinot be considered off-hand.” “Has Missouri had any experience with railroads which might serve as a guide in formulating* an opinion State ownership?’ was asked. ‘The time may come,” replied Gov. Fola, slowly. “‘when it may be feasible. for the national Government to own and operate the railroads of the country. I doubt very much if the people of Mis- souri will ever vote to .bond the State for the sum of from $300,000,000 to $400,- 000,000 necessary to buy the railroads within the State boundaries. “ Disastrous Experience. “While other states may not be sim- flarly situated, Missouri has had a dls- astrous experience with railroads. On that line in our State we are confronted with facts, not theories. “The State of Missouri practically ewned all the railroads in the State 40 years.ago and the people have just finished paving the debt incurred. The State at that time issued bonds to aid in the construction of certain railroads, including the Wabash, the Missouri Pa- cific, the Iron Mountain, the Burling- ton and Hannibal & St. Joseph. ‘lo fortify itself against loss the State took a lien on the railroads. All of the defaulted in their payments xcept the Hannibal & St. Joseph. The irns were foreclosed and the reilposde vere botght_in for the State: ’ “+ ‘“@ommissioners were appointed and iuthorized to sell the roads. “The-re- sult of the transaction was that the State came out about $25,000,000 behind. “Tt must be said, however, that much af this loss was accomplished by shame- ful fraud and corruption. It ts charged that the commissioners were bribed to eell the roads to certain parties and members of the Legislature were bribed ti authorize the sale of the roads and to release a certain part of the debt to the State. “A renort is on file in the Staies Court in St. Louis, made by a eommittee of the directors of the Mis- sonri Pacific, in which, pleading for a r debt of the road to the lease of the t Rare they claimed that they paid the ! gislature $265,000. So Missouri's ex- petence in railroad ownership, or, rath- er. rnitroad aid, was not a happy one. “Conditions may be different today, but the possibilities of between $390,000 000 and £490,000,000 in bonds Outstanding and the efforts that would be made by cor- careful man to hesitate. The result might be that the people of Missouri would find themselves in the end with millions of bonds to pay and the railroads back where they were be-,. fore.’ Gov.

When the story came ‘to us today of his death, and the in- | Sinuations that he was a slave to both drugs and liquor, I could not believe ‘it. I cannot believe it now. There was never the slightest sign of either about); him. He always was on hand, he was always neat in his~ habits, and there was never the slightest indication of anything wrong.”’ But the investigation of Aston’s sud- den death has developed a _ different \Sort of story. When he was taken sick Tuesday, | Aston went home to his small room in | the Channing avenue house, and Mrs. | Hilbert, the landlady, says he did not . go out of it again but once. That was on Wednesday, when he tried to go to | work again, but had to give up and re- turn ; until Friday afternoon, What he took was not known to the other 6ccupants of zghe house, but it was generally known there he was a user of opium in gome / Friday afternoon he was so ill/that Mrs. Hilbert called in Dr. W. H., \Car- thers of 3339 Laclede avenue. Dr. Car- réthers says he found the man suffering h severe cramps and after giving him hypodermic injection to relieve the n, suggested to the landlady that n's ‘regular physician be called. Died in the Ambulance. Dr. Carruthers declared Saturday morning that_from the brief examina- phine poisoning, but he reported to the police after Aston had died that the man was apparently suffering from the effects of some ‘‘unknown drug.” The key to this, the police thought, might be found in the fact that Aston sent Sam Varbdle, a nephew of Mrs. Hilbert, to a drug store for medicine early Friday. They are seeking to learn what this medicine was, but have not yet found out. Aston grew worse and early Friday evening it was decided that it would be An am- oe Deaconess Hospital, in West 3élle place, but he died on the way. In the course of investigation the po- lice interviewed Dr. Carruthers’ = and | when he told them that Mrs. Hilbert ‘had told him that she had given Aston two cups of coffee, they decided to hold her until the Coroner could catechise her. Accordingly, she was taken to the Manchester Avenue Station and kept there all night. In the meantime the death attracted a good deal of attention and caused much comment in the neighborhood. It was not hard to find out the truth about him after the investigation was begun. Got Drug on Prescriptions. While working at the Y. M. C. A., the retired preacher had been a constant user of drugs. Only two blocks away from the house where he had lived was the drug store where he had puchased his supplies. The store 1s at the corner of Channing avenue and QO.ive street, and is conducted by John M. Martin. Mr. Martin told a Post-Dispatch re- pores Saturday morning that he had cnown the preacher-doorman for some time, and that he Knew he used opium. “He used to get prescriptions for the stuff, and bought it here.’ said Mr. Martin. “I have sold him as much as three drams at a time. Formerly he used it in the powdered gum torm, but lately he used the liquid. I presume this habit had a good deal to do with his weak physical condition, and it may have hastened his death.”’ Mrs. Hilbert says that the former minister was hot only a drug fiend but that he used whisky as well. He not go to saloons, she says, but brought it home and drank it in his own room. Practically all his money went in this way, she says. . But at the Y¥. M. C.

Offer of $25,000. Refused by. St. Peter’s Congregation for Building. St. Louis’ Ghetto is moving west. The desire of Congregation Beth Hammedrosh Hagegpdol to purchase the building and ground of St. Peter's German Evangelical Church Society, at Fourteenth and Carr streets, has en- listed attention as the latest evidence of the westward tendency. By some of the members of Congre- gation Beth Hammedrosh Haggodol, as well as among others in the Ghet~ to, the refusal of the Board of Trus-. iees of the German Evangelical “hureh to sell their property to the, Hebrew body is commented on ag evi- dence of resentment against the spread of the Ghetto, On the other hand, members of the German Evangelical Church, includ- ing its pastor, Rev. John F. Klick of 1109 North Fourteenth street, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that their refusai was due entirely to doubt whether they should not retain possession of their present church, even after their new edifice at St. Louis and Warne avenues, is com- pleted, some months hence. The Evangelical Church people refer to the recent sale of Salem German Methodist Church, at Wash and Fif- teenth streets, to Congregation Sheerith S’Phard for $45,000 as reason why they should mot sel] their own church as‘ the price offered, $25,000. Rev. Mr. Klick Says an offer as high as $5,000 might not be accepted. Congregation B’Nia Amoona, now at Eleventh and Carr _ streets, recently bought the old Central Presbyterian Church, at Garrison and Lucas avenues, thus setting the western boundary thus far for orthodox Hebrew synagogues. Germans Sent Westward. Thirty years ago the district between Fourteenth street and the river, imme- diately north of Franklin avenue, was populated almost altogether by Ger- mans. German was talked, and German customs were Kept. Then came a change. The Ghetto rapidly grew into. prominence in the re- ligious and social character of this dis- trict, and the Germans began moving west. Rev. Mr. Klick has been pastor of the German Evangelical Church for 21 years, and has seen the time arrive when it has become necessary for his people to build a new church miles west of the present site. is the Italian population which is moving the Ghetto west. St. Louis’ Italians : oming more and’ more numerous each year, and their substan- tial settlement near the river has had the effect of starting the Hebrews in the direction their German neighbors took before them. The Germans say their own.settlement is being scattered by the westward move, as they are buying property here and there, without knowing whether they will be near their countrymen, The dedication of the new ‘chapel of St. Peter’s, at Warne and St. Louis ave- nues, will take place Sunday, Sept. 9.

That’s the purest water in Illinois—we Lave a State analysis ‘o prove it—and there is a great monument in the south» énd of-the city that testifies to the purity of our sparkiing water.’’ He gulped down the liquified Illin is soil and picked the grit out of his teeth with a toothpick borrowed from the hotel desk. | ) ae was this way,’’ and the “promi nent citizen’’ crossed his right leg over his left, “and while I tell you the stury i don’t want you to think there are any people in this town who are de- scendants of the Yankees that made and sold wooden nutmegs. But, getting back to the water—-the commonweulth of Illinois four or five years ago de- cided to build another State norma! school, and, of course, all the towns desired it. For some reason or oh-r, though prohibition is not an extra strong issue here, one of the chief re- quirements set up by the State was good, pure, clear water, and lots of it. There were certain citizens here who feared that this requirement put Charleston out of the race, but you will see how mistaken they’ were. It was decided finally that the commis- sion appointed to choose a site and build the normal would come to Charles. ton On a Sunday morning and look &t our site. Unfortunately, the Embarras River, from which the city gets its water, was very low at that time, and we were afraid that we would be short in quantity. But, on the other hand. it was fortunate that the river was low. for the water was clear. “We had an engineer at the water- works who knew his business—knew it so well, in fact, that he had not per- mitted people to sprinkle their lawns for fear the water supply would ceive out. We gave that engineer the pointer and passed the word all along the streets that we desired everybody to be sprinkling their lawns and, the streets between certain hours Sunday morning. The commissioners ¢ame and we loid- ed them into buggies ang. showe1 off the city, ie “They were pleased with the generous water display we put up.

As wé drove. those commissioners over town be the last of that supply of water and that the waterworks engineer would telephone us that the almost dry river ‘had gone wholly dry. But we got our cemmissioners landed in the hotel, where a big dinner had been prepared. Of course, there was plenty of water around the hotel. River Water Is Switched. “As had been customary, the commis- fioners had filled a test bottle with wa- ter from a hydfant for the State analy- sis, and we knew thatour chances for the Normal School depended on the showing of that water. They put it in one of their grips and went in with the Reception Committee to eat dinner and hear the music and addresses by our leading citizens. | “But the addresses’ by the leading citi. zens, the music the dinner that had been not do the work. While of intoxication was going on where the lights were burning high, other leading prnared did filled it with distilled water. “The river went dry the next day, but the commissioners had gone. The State’ analysis of the waters obtained_at the various proposed normal sites over the State shows conclusively that Charles- ton’s water is the purest, clearest and best in the State. Have a drink—you needn't be afraid of it; the river’s high, that’s all. | ‘Did we get our college—the monu- ment to the purity of our’ water? Drive out and see it—the finest in Illinois. We have 700 students here during the school term. The school’s crest of arms should be faced with a bottle of dis- tilled water.”’ The prominent citizen’s breast swelled with pride, and he took another mixed drink—mud and water. j DIES ON BIRTHDAY AS FRIENDS Morris Rosenheim’s Death Is _, Made Known When Party Gathers.

We would not think of sending men into court to tes- tify whose slightest word could not be relied uvon.’’, Ryan pleaded guilty to the charge, which specified that he had had a fight with George A. Kaiser in a saloon on Meramec street. “What was the fight about?” asi Mr. Stewart. “Politics,”’ replied Ryan. “Who got the worst of it?’ “I did,’’ said Ryan pointing to bruises + and cuts on his face. “I am-sorry to hear that an officer got the worst of a fight with a citizen,” said Mr. Stewart. ‘I'd rather you had come out on top, even if you had been in the wrong.” | Policeman Michael McNamara, who last week killed his wife and James J.

HREAT T SCHOCL PARENTS

Causes Fear for Benton ‘Pupils. A boycott of Benton public school, King’s Highway and St. Louis ave- nues, to open next Ttesday, is threatened by parents incensed at the use of Norwood pond as a public dump. ‘ ; , The threatened boycott and other meas- ures were discussed at a meeting in the home of G. W. Pipe, 039 Maffitt avenue, called to protest against the dump. It was decided by property owners at this gathering to have a petition drafted against allowing the use of the pond for a dump,:and to send copies of the petition to the Board of Health and Street. Commissioner. Impure water is declared to have re- sulted from the depositing of refuse, and the immediate draining of the pond |; is demanded. Former efforts of proper- ty owners to have the matter righted have proved futile, and Norwood pond has been a continual menace. “Chesley Island No. 2” gested as a name for the pond, because of its odor. State Representative Bickley presided over the meeting in Mr. Pipe’s home Thursday night, and the secretary was W. E. Woerheide. Edward H. Bickley, Mr. Woerheide and Henry §S. Caulfield were the committee chosen to draw up the petition. Mr. Bickley said he be- lieved if the health authorities were properly approached, the matter would be righted. He declared the danger of an epidemic of typhoid to be very great. QDGEMEN'S GIFTS. CAUSE HIS. ARREST Frank Markwell Denies Charge That He Begged on Sta- tion Midway.

MANY DEATHS AT THIS “BABY FARM Heat and Malnutrition Blamed by Sanitary Inspector for Infant Mortality. The St. Louis Sanitary Office has just completed the examination of a “baby farm’ at 1423 Cass avenue, to which at- tention was directed by Mortuary Clerk Edmunds because of the large number of infant deaths which occurred there during the heated term. The list of deaths which caused the in- vestigation was as foilows: Aug. 7, George Smith,.inanition and malnutrition, aged 7 days. Aug. 8, Allie Smith, gastro-enteritis and talnutrition, aged 14 days. _ Aug. 8 Joseph Williams, gastro-enter- ius and malnutrition, aged 15 days. Aug. 10, Catherine H. Tobin, gastro- enteritis and malnutrition, aged 3¥°days. Aug ll, Edith Kingsbury, gastro-enter- itis and malnutrition, aged 21 days. Aug. -12, Marie Randall, gastro-enter- itis and malnutrition, aged 12 days. Aug. 15, Grace Lamott®, gastro-enter- itis and malnutrition, aged 41 days. Aug. 23, Mary—Brown, gastro-enterities and matnutrition, aged 45 days. All the death certificates are signed by Dr. W. A. Smith, a physician whom thee health officers assert is in good Standing. His office is at 94 North Twenty-second street. The investigation resulted tn a clean bill of ‘health for the “baby farm.,”’ “Imspector O'Neill of the Sanitary Di- vision conducted the investigation,”’ said Acting Health Commissioner Francis. “Tie found that the cause of the large number of deaths ‘was the hot weather and the fact that the infants were dis- carded by their parents and turned over to the ‘baby farm’ to be cared for. The infants when received are always poor- ly nourished by their mothers and for other reasons are poorly fitted to take up the’battle for life.”’ ‘“‘The ‘baby farm’. is operated by a woman named Mrs. Weber,’’ said In- spector O’Neill.. “‘She has only a small place of three rooms but these rooms are scrupulously clean. J] went over the premises thoroughly and found no cause for Condemnation. The large number of deaths was entirely due to the poor nu- trition of -the infants. before they reached Mrs. Weber and to the hot weather at the time. I reported that the Healfh Department had no reason .to interfere.” STORES TO CLOSE. Many Big Firms Will Observe Labor Day.

= = * . — KING’S HIGHWAY BOULEVARD, ‘The plans for the construction of King’s Highway bouleyard, in pursuance of the bond igsue of $500,000 authorized June 12, should be of the broadest and most Jiberal character. If the plans submitted by the King’s Highway Commission are adopted, and it is understood that they ‘have been in the main, all work should be undertaken witli reference to the complete sys: tem. The danger in all public work which depends upon insufficient appropriation is that the accom- lishment of work from year to year is performed in a fragmentary, haphazard fashion. It is hoped this will not be the case with King’s highway. The’ boulevard from Chain of Rocks to Jefferson Bar- racks will be one of the longest and most magnifi- cent inthe world if every section is built with that ds.

end in view. * The lineg of urban growth are pretty well known and ‘we should endeayor to fill up the details from jime to time according to a complete plan for the: St. Louis of the future. Jt is better to go slowly than violate this rule. Improvement which is a thing of shreds and patches is little better than no improvement at all. And the money spent is practically lost. By adhering to a comprthensive plan in carrying out the details we shall gradually build up a boulevard system which shall be a pride to every St. Louisan and a mode] for ambitious cities during the twentieth century.

DRAWBACKS OF AN EMPTY: HEAD. The substance of a létter written to a close friend by Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry Thaw, has been given out in Pittsburg. It is a vivid reminder that wealth is no protection against the worst sor- row that can befall a family, | Mrs. Thaw saws: “The trouble with young men nowadays seems to be that they think they can do as they please if they have money and an influen- tial family. So many think money is all- powerful and they can violate. the laws of ‘society and government at will, believing they are not in the least danger 8f being made to pay the penalty of justice.” * ; Harry Thaw was well provided with ancestors. His father was a robust character, a man of force and intellect; his mother a gentle woman, sane and sen- sible. Had he been thrown upon his owm resources of inherited character, probably he would not have ‘gone the primrose path to destruction. se But he put his trust in his riches and not in him- self. He thought it was not necessary to cultivate bis own character because he could get along with- out sugh support. As Mrs. ‘Thaw expresses it, he thought he could do as he pleased since he had “wealth and an influengial family.” As years passed the passions of manhood grew, but in will and in- | tellect he continue’ a child. Is it wonderful that “he is now awaiting trial for a capital offense? ; ‘Wealth has its disadvantages which can be over- come only by a rigorous training of the mind. Noth- ing can take the place of character, and the young- ster who imagines that he can get along with an empty head if- only his pocket is well filled, is pretty sure to discover when it is too late that money is a poor substitute for manhood, r Dishonest mortar ruined” Sin Francisco. Even earthquakes ‘are not so bad‘ws they are painted. ° >, > ——- a AMERICAN INTERESTS IN CUBA. The true inwardness of the rebellion in Cuba’ is laid bare by the dempnd for protection addressed to the American Government by the Constantia Sugar Plantation Co, | It will be time enough for pur Government to interfere when it is demonstrated that the Palma Government cannot or will not protect the lives ahd property of American citizeus. And even if ~ Americans do suffer from the rebel raids, if the “uban republic grants redress promptly by paying 4 wmages to the losers, there can be no excuse for -) aetervention. © Riots and insurrections are apt to occur in any - @vtvtry, but such disturbances are not held to. jus- _ tify intervention. In New Orleans a few years ago her of Italians were shot down by an angry b, ruts our Government made-apologies to the liam {Ar hassador and suitable reparation. — It teicen asx sensible for the Italian Govern-. pdA fleet and’an army to keep order in Stites as it would be for the Wash-

* ington Government to sehd an army corps to Cuba to keep order in the island. , | Net until the confusion is, so pronounced that the Cubans are unable to protect the life and prop- erty of the foreign resident and cannot - discharge the imperative international obligations assumed by every independent nation will intervention be jus- tifiable. The American Government should not be used as an asset by commercial enterprises in other tuban Government-for protection. When that fails them it will be time enough to seek it in Washington. > a i i Mr. Bryan has reached first base, but can he get to the home plate?

>> Li i HIT THE BRIDGE ARBITRARY. The railroad rate regulation bill having gone into effect, the business men of St. Louis should take up for action as soon as it is practicable the sug- gestion that an appeal be made to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the abolition of the bridge arbitrary and any other discriminations which may exist in the present rates ‘of the Ter- minal Railways. The new law forbids. discrimination in rates and empowers the Interstate Commerce Cominission to make reasonable rates. ‘That discrimination does exist against St. Louis has been demonstrated thor- oughly by the Municipal Terminal Commission, and is‘ admitted by the railroad men. The concessions in the present schedule are based upon the admis- sion of discriminations and are accompanied with the promise of the final abolition of the bridge dit- ferentials. It can easily be proved that St’ Louis is the only city which suffers from a special bridge arbitrary. It can be shown that some of the rail- roads using the St. Louis bridges absorb: this arbi« trary—it appears nowhere in their rates. ‘These facts ought to make the abolition of all existing discriminations an easy matter if they are properly presented to the commission. But before a step is taken, the plans of the busi- ness men should be well laid. They should ascertain all the facts and have the discriminations so clearly and convincingly set forth that the commission can- not refuse the relief sought. As the Post-Dispatch has frequently said, it is vain to wait for voluntary action on the part of the railroads. It is vain to look for the kind of campaign which will insure success in the immediate future from the Municipal Terminal Commission as at present organized. This is properly its work, but in view of its methods of dealing with the railroads, it would be well. for the business men to take up this matter through their own organization. Let the demand for jus- tice come ‘from the active business men of St. Louis. With the right sort of representation before the Interstate: Commerce Commission, coupled with. the suit under the anti-trust act now pending in the Federal courts, and with the authorization of the free bridge, St. Louis should realize her aspirations for commercial freedom from the oppressive bridge monopoly. oo¢-—~—--— -

A correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, who seems in doubt when anid how’ often children’ ought: to be whipped, is still convinced on the evidence that the parent who whips is more to blame than the jchild that needs the whipping. This may be taken into consideration as a rea- sonably safe conclusion. It may apply, no doubt, to animals and to grown-up evildoers who need punishment as fully as it does to children. - The most intelligent people among those who use horses have the best horses,.and the best horses are those which are beaten least. A horse that has been often beaten is a spoiled horse. | This is equally true of a horse that is often scolded. The loud and threatening tones of the human voice alarm animals and finally make them uncontrollable except by blows. The person who trainer for horses. He will make the best horse possible out of the material he has to begin with. The questicn of whether animals must be beaten to train. them leads directly up to the question of whether childrén must be beaten’ to educate them and of whether criminals must be beaten to reform them. | | | Perhaps «there are several answers for several states of mind. But one final answer for intelli- gence ant civilization is that the beating must go on-as the fault of the beaters until they learn bet- ter ways of déaling with those who, as a result of worse ways, may deserve all the beating they get. ooo : Illinois now has an opportunity to eleet a woman to the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

As the complete story of the wrecking of the Real Estate Trust Co. of Philadelphia has now been given to the public, it is a virtual repetition of the migerable story of the wrecking of the Salmon Ban: in Missouri and of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank in

Chicago. os . : Banking methods were not at fault. The methods the wreckers of these banks pretended to be fol- lowing would have made sure the stability of the banks and fully protected the public against loss. For the-protection both of the public and of hon- est bankers, Missouri,‘ Illinois and Pennsylvania have inspection laws and support at public ex- ‘pense a system of inspection, which, if lawfully en-_ forced, would make bank-wrecking impossible. In each of these cases of -wholesale disaster in Missouri, Illinois and Pennsylvania, State inspec- tion was a mere form. The inspector took every- thing for granted the bank wrecker showed him and made no investigation calculated to / protect either the public or honest banking.. His methods created the opportunity the law was intended to prevent, ! ee Against such conditions, when they become politi- eal as they invariably do, the public has only one hope of protection.

[ want my Shakspeare spelled e-a, — | NEW YORK PRESS COMMENT ON BRYAN’S’ SPEECH.

The Evening Post: One really feels like calling in Monsieur Distingo, or bet- ter. perhaps, Touchstone, to comment upon Mr. Bryan’s speech last night. It has such a multiplicity of aspects, it invites too many distinctions and quali- fications, that a summary opinion of it is almost certain to be wrong. To adopt the ‘Touchstone ihen, we would say that “In manner, respect i that it is a speech against the Republi- can party, it Is a good speech.’ “In respect that the speech is a par- tisan Democratic speech,’’ Touchstone would continue, “I like it very well.” Falling upon existing political condi- tions, Mr. LBrvyan’s appeal is shrewdly timed. It will doubtless aid the Demo- crats in the congressional elections. All told. and looking purely at the party ef- fect of. Mr. Bryan's home-coming speech, it will have to be pronounced shrewd and forcible. But honest Touchstone Would be com- pelled to proceed: ‘In respect that it is a speech of a sober and constructive statesman, it is a very vile speech.” The new Bryan has the chief fault of the old. He is provocatory, not to say inflammatory, but wholly vague. He rouses passions without directing them. He puts forth a_ tremendous scheme, without showing any sign of having thought it through, and without indicat- ing a single detail. He is in a great stute of excitement about plutocracy, but just how he is to put a hook in its snout, one reads his speech in vain to find out. Roosevelt himself could not be more indefinite on that subject. And as for his plan of Governnfent owner- ship of all the trunk Iines, with the states to own the railroads wholly with- in thefr. own borders, he jauntily pro- jects it before the crowd without ‘giv- ing 2 hint how the immensely difficult problems of mahagement and financing are to be solved. In all this new Bryan shows himself as sadly lacking as the old. Hence, he still falls far short of our great politi- cal philosopher's definition of a state:- man. Mr. Bryan is, indeed, Burke's “Man full of warm, speculative benevo- lence,’ who wishes “his society other- wise corstituted than he finds it,’ but is he not open to the charge of “‘con- sidering his country as nothing but ble. whatever he pleases,”’ and of neg- lecting the ‘“‘existing materials of his country?” If he is, then our judgment of his vague proposals can scarcely be other than that they are ‘‘vulgar in the conception, perilous in the execution.”’ Evening Sun: Mr. Bryan dentes with fervent protests that he is a Socialist, but it can be said to him as was said }to a gsreater man who once denied his Master with vigorous asseveration, “Thy speech betrayeth thee.’’ Brooklyn .Kagle: Well, the thunder- volt has been forged. The country now knows what Bryan meant by wiring from London that so far from having become conservative, he was more radi- cal than ever. It will take the party a day or two to recover its breath. At this point, it is only fair to acknowl- edge that there is a difference between the Brvan Of the present and the fever- heated orator, the declaimer of a few years ago. Obviously, the Nebraskan has been thinking about things. . Take

him on labor, for instante. His is the language of neither a demagogue nor a radical. Had this been typical of all the other planks he constructed Thurs- day night, even Republicans might have turned to him for relief as safe and sane and conservative by contrast, but it ‘was not to be.”’ Roosevelt has set a fast pace. He will probably go. faster That he will be strenuous to the end o€ his presi- dential term is altogether likely. So, Bryan had to) make a choice. He has elected to go faster. And, of his power to carry the party with him, he seems to entertain no doubt. He is mistaken. He is flourishing a whip to the crack of which the party will not resvond. He has served an ultimatum the «answer to vet. é

which will be sufficiently emnhatic. An hour ago, so to speak, it Bryan first. the rest nowhere. out for a grand transformation with Brvan almost invisible as a prob- abilitv,. scarcely visible as a possibility.

| LETERS FROM THE POPE This column is onem for discussion of pa

werds. Some “Reasons.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A morning paper says: ‘Saloon to open in mansigp near six big churches.’’ Why so? Simply because there are enough men, women and children in that immediate nelghborhood to sup- port said salooh. Why is this so in the very face of the aforesaid ‘‘big sixes?’ It must be that the churches, the preachers and members were not alive io their ‘‘mission.’’ They simply neg- lected the people thereabouts. If any of these people ventured in they were not “spoken to” or welcom The writer not long since went regularly to one of the six big churches six weeks before a member spoke to him, He sat at the same place within five seats of the front. ‘The preacher, of course, noticed him and might have unbended—gone over before or after the service and showed a welcome, but it was his cus- tom to expect strangers to come to him, So it is in city churches. Again, much preaching of the fatherhood of God and little or no ‘the brotherhood of man.” The helping hand is held out only spir- itually, but as to temporal needs and “‘tiding over the rough places of life is barren, because the sweet mission of succor and warm-heartedness is frozen; it is delegated to provident as- sociations and others. Not that wealthy church members do not give much. but they do it in an unpersonal way. Bucn benefactions are not so weartng and annoying. This thing of getting next to people is antiquated. It interferes with business and “busy hours’’ and also with “leisure hours.” ‘These stric- tures are not carping, but “‘reasons.” J. JAY. Attacks on Women. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. You did well to eal] attention to the farcical character of the trial of the young men who were accused of attack- ing two young women in &South S8t. Louis. “Since the verdict two other women have been attacked by so-called huggers. If men who attack women in St. Louis are to go scot free because the victims are supposed to be immoral. no woman will be free, because it is well known that the usual defense in such cases is an accusation of immoral- ity against the woman. And even if a woman is not of blameless character. is that to be an excuse for men to brutally attack her? I hope the Prosecuting At- torney will bring the South st. Louis case before the grand jury. A MAN, Do You Own Real Estate? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. May 1 ask the Million Club “movers” a few questions? Do these gentlemen own any tate besides their own homes? Would they rent a house or flat for less money than they could get for it? Do the real estate owners of this city spend their receipts for repairs, ma- terials, repair and improvement wages in this city? Does a real esta‘te owner escane any taxes (which the city gets, of courle)? Is the Million Club created only for merchants? Does a ‘certain class’ of people re- frain and detest owning real estate? St. Louis boasts of no ‘foreign capil- tal,’ consequently ajl moneys received for “high rents’. remain in the city. Do these agitations against the real estate owners bring on a friendly feei- ing among our citizens? Do the Million Club movers know what per cent of the city’s revenue comes from real estate” Does Mr. L. own any rental real es- tate for living purposes?

Funny Blunders. From the Chicago News. Some amusing blunders have been made by speakers in the British House of Lords this month. The Marauis of Londonderry, alluding to the forces in the Cabinet, said: ‘‘It is a case of the tail wagging the dog, instead of the The Earl of Carrington, complimenting the bishop of Canterbury on a speech the latter had made, said: “‘It rose and fell like the motif in ‘Lohengrin,’ and, like a great Australian fiver, it rose and shal- lowly flowed over the surface into the great unknown sea.” A recent examination brought out some queer information regarding live- etock: ‘The pig is a very useful anima! to a woman.” “A young cow is some- times called an ox.’ ‘“‘One of the stom- achs of a cow is shaped like the leaves of the Bible.’ “The cow’s father is called a bullock.” “‘Everything’ that lives on a farm are called cattle.” “When a cow is alive it is used for to get milk, but when it is dead it is used for to get mutton.” “Some cows have horns and are called bulls; the male bulls are called heifers.”” ‘‘The flesh of the lamb is called veal.”’ A Hungarian theatrical manager has printed the following poster: “By Divine Permission in the year 1906, on the 2d July, will be represented for the first time, ROMEO AND JULIET, A sensational tragedy, universally re- nowned, in five acts, with songs, dances and Bengal Fire.

Nolan s2!4 to me today that Gans would have it all his own way at. the start, but that Nelson would win in the end. As a matter of fact, ix .con- vinced that his man will be beaten, ant he has taken advantage of every opportunity to help to soften the de- feat.

In the presence of the writer and four other witnesses he weighed 132 pounds and § ounces stripped, Of course a secret is being made of the weight of the fighting clothes Gans will don on the day of the battle, but it is pretty certain that they will not -weigh more than seven ounces. As the negro seems stronger than when he began to train down, there is no dan- ger of harm from the taking off of a few pounds. Billy Nolan is about as popular in this gold- plastered dip of the Nevada des- ert as a plugged double eagle. In play irlance and in the office of the miné omers you hear it sneeringly won- dered at that Nolan did not insist on Gana entering the ring with one arm in a sling and his ankle hobbled to a stake. Nolan Still Carping. Nolan has developed a brand new squeal. He informed George Siler, the referee, that. he would not stand for his breaking the men when they clinched. Siler asked him if he was developing resis and advised that he better sleep ft off for if he consented to any such ar- rangement it would be possible for Nel- son to hold ten minutes if he desired to. There is very little prospect, however, that Nolan will insist on any such ob- ection, and when questioned about it a said that he had not had an_ op- portunity to go over the, matter thor- He has simply had things so much his own way that he cannot give up his efforts to be dic- tatorial. 4 A San. Francisco broker, who is fond. of hearing his voice roll in high -tones, offered to bet 1 to 3 in the Palace gam- bling hal! that there will be no fight on Labor Day, and that if there was a fight it will be a fake. He was immedi- ately surrounded bf a throng of mem- bers of the Miners’ Union, who deserted their stacks at the roulette wheels and faro boards and informed him that if there was_no fight or !f the fight re- sulted in a fake there will be a murder —rather Golflfield people say there will be a justifiable homicide. This was merely one incident express- ing the sentiment in this community where every man is more or less a law unto himself. 7 Square Fight or Murder. Larry Sullivan, the rmegro’s manager. declared to the writer that there would either be a fight and a square fight or murder. A few nights ago when Nolan rang up his technicality over the weigh- ing-in, 590 miners assembled about the the discussion was being discussed the advisability of Nolan held and pleasure by unlHmbering d shooting up things in his immedia vicinity. In order to appease these men, Tex Rick- ard was compelled to address them and he declared that while the Goldfield Club would not permit Gans to weigh in at the ringside in his fighting togs. the ne- gro had yielded the point himself. The miners are trying to figure out why Nelson should get all the best of it in the purse and in the technicalities of ring rules. . fle thoroughly familiar with gun fighting. ring battles, their complica- tions and endless bickerings are puz- giing hundreds of them, who have trav- eled many leagues over the sun-baked desert of Nevada to see a fight and they are going to see one, or else some more strenuous excitement.

CURRIE. Nelson to fight, and spent $15,000 on the building of the arena. There are few clubs if any in America that would open up -s0 handsomely,

or dig u few graves on the hillside and | fill them. Nolan made an elaborate explanation | in regard to the weigh- today, calling at- tention to the tact that the schedulea | encounter will be the first finish cham- pionship fight in America’ since the Fitzsimmons-Corbett episude in Carson Cc ity. ‘The Marquis of Queensberry rules,’ said Nolan, “‘make no _ provision ie weighing in finish championship “fights. They state clearly, however, that what- ever provisions are overlooked are to be supplied in the London prize ring rules, and in the rules it is stated clearly of his attitude men must, if they agree toe weigh in at the ringside, be weighed in fighting togs, including even their gloves. “When Fitzsimmons: fought Dempsey for the middle-weight championship both men weighed in in their fighting logs, shoes, trunks and gloves. Of course, this was not done in the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight, as there is no sculing in heavy-weight contests. “If Gans, as he says, is not only down to weight, but under weight, why should he not consent to fighting according to the rules. I do not consider that I am making any extravagant demands, for the rules of the ring support throughout. Then the articles of agree- ment for this fight state clearly that any technical provisions that have been overlooked cun bé supplied. A lot has been made of this small thing by sore heads, but when I make up my mind to a th ing i will stick to it in spite of h—-1 and all the miners in Nevada. Nolan Praises Nelson. “All this talk about a fake fight, or of efforts on my part to prevent the con- test is rot. There will be a fight and it will be on the square; it will be one of the greatest fights ever seen in a ring. Furthermore, Nelson will win. He never was in such fine condition before in his life; he is twice as-good a man as when he fougkt Britt and knocked him out. He will win if he has to fight from the tap of the gong at 3% o'clock in the afternoon until midnight. Everybody who Knows the Battler understands that he could not fake a fight. He has not got it in him. He has fought over 10 battles, every one of them on the square. Then it would not ‘be very healthy for anybody ‘to pull off a fake in this country. Somebody would have to get Out of town quick. There is only one train a day and the walking across 400 miles of desert would not appeal even toa prize fighter.’’ Mhere was no bluff in this talk of No- lan’s about the unadvisability of faking in Soutnern Nevada. Later, Sullivan put it even stronger when he said: “The man that attempts to fake this fight will be murdered.’ As he is the manager of the Ethiopian wonder and as the black fighter has been known to lay down, Suliivan knows that a few dots of lead would travel his way if his man faked. ‘All this trouble over rules regula- tions and concessions to Nelson,’ ex- plained the hanker manager, “‘is due to the inexperience of the fight promoters. They may be very wise to the ways of the whee! and iaro box, but they don't know any more about prize fighting than a ceyote.

He has got to weigh in three times on Monday, and& that is all the weighing he will do.”’ . Women Visit the Fighters. There were fully one hundred and fifty woinen present at Nelsun’s train- ing quarters yesterday. They applauded vigorously as the Dane bored into Bob- ion Lundy and handed him horsepower shortarm jabs. The term “gentier sex’ was not meant to include the wumen folk of Goidtield. Some of them carry } uns wiiere the Eastern women are wont to carry money. what you might cai women soldiers of fortune. Not a tew among them have prospecied for gold and staked out claims. Many were born in mining camps, and have wandered ac ross Colo- rudo, Utah and Nevada in the course of their strenuous careers. A thousand women are expected to wifhess the fight. They are coming here from Dia- mond Field, from Rhyolite, from Won- der, from Fairview, from Belmont, from Stray Dog, from Yellow Horse, from Little Gray, Jumping Jack and Sand- storm, and where the mining camps Sprang into existence in a day.

wer2 shocked to know that he is to steer a new car of great power. Considerable rivalry exists Webb and Dingley. Several years ago, before either were as well known to the racing game as they are today, they were introduced in a factory in Ohio. After the introduc- tion, Webb said to Dingiley, ‘‘I don't like you.”’ ‘“‘What’s the trouble?” sur- orisedly inquired Dingley. “Well, a riend of mine told me that you said | couldn't push a wheelbarrow, not to eg of an automobile, and I don't like t” between ome ae eae Dingley tried to assure Webb that he had heard little or nothing of him on the Pacific Coast at that time, much less saying mean or even good things of him. Since then the two have seldom met and their meeting.on the track Monday will be the first time that they have ever tried for the other’s scalp in a ma- chine. , Kreeberg is expected from Toledo to- night, while Good is looked for from aoe at any Their cars ar- rived last nignt.

N ATIONAL LEAGUE, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—For a prize of $50,000 16 2-year-old colts and fillies will Struggle this afternoon at the Sheeps- head Bay Racetrack. These young horses, with two or three exceptions, are the fastest of their age, and they ' will put forth their best efforts to win ‘the Futurity Stakes, the richest turf /event in America. The race will be started at 4 o'clock. The field «that will go to the post, though marred by the absence of three of the mightiest colts of the year—Salvi- | dere, Water Pearl and Fountainblue—is

time. meet is one. James R. Keene’s three starters— Peter Pan, Zambesi and Pope Joan— while not considered to be in Salvidere’s ‘class, are nevertheless of a very high iclass, and with this one exception are regarded as the best racehorses of their age in the country. Because Mr. Keene’s 3-year-olds have shown such great speed and’ Peter Pan won races in fast ttme with big weight up, they are the favorites for today’s event at 6 to 56. The tnree, of course,

This fav- oritism is due to the overwhelming be- lief among horsemen, bookmakers and r@cegoers that one of the three will win. Turfmen seem unable to decide which is the best. It is known that the stable is divided on the subject. Mr. Keane fancies Zambesi's chance, while James Rowe, the trainer, prefers Peter Pan. The latter has so steadily improved under his handling that he considers him the most reliable.

He is a colt. of 'great courage and resolution, but has ‘two drawbacks,- either- one of which ‘may prove a hindrance to his success. 'They are lack of early speed and lame- ness.

Rival Bidders Boost Wages in Washington. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PULLMAN, Wash.. Aug. 27.—There has seldom been as much work in this section as at present, and the demand for labor is unprecedented. In addition to the harvest, there is much raiifoad work, the Spokane & In- land Electric Line, the Washington, Ida- ho & Montana, and the Lewiston exten- sion of the O. R. & N. There is the street paving in Pullman, which gives employment to many men and is run- ning short handed, and the power line from Moscow to-Pullman and the in- stalling of the new system here, requir- ing many men. Yesterday this outfit*had but one man digging holes for poles. Several men who quit this work, which was paying $2.25 a day: to work in the harvest fields, were re-employed at $3.50 a day. Nelson.

Typhoonic tempest is invariably fol- lowed by deadly calm. Things will be i stupid after Labor -Day, when Gans and Nelson. Nolan and Sullivan, Rick- ard and Siler, Sard Smith, Bassett and Delaney fade from our sight. Oh, good- night, good-night! Judging from the extraordinary num- ber of ‘“‘bombs"’ which the athletic re- porters insist Sard Smith has thrown into “local athletic circles’’ during the nast week. we marvel that there can be a figment of said circles left. We have always been puzzled to know just what Sard did look like. Now we have it. He resembles an anarchist.

Will Peter Pan “‘pan out” or “peter out’’ in the hustle for that $50,000 racing stake this Saturday afternoon? Mr. Edwin Gould of St. Louis said the other day that there was not a first- class golfer in St. Louis. The assevera- tion, made in the lounging room _ at Glen Echo, was roundly and accrimoni- ously combated. The performances of Messrs. W. C. Fownes and George Ormiston very gscod, but not wonderfully so, golfers of Pittsburg who have been playing at Glen Echo for the past two days, would lend fair color to the accuracy of Mr. Gould’s contention. So far the Pennsylvanians have beaten every St. Louls golfer they have met. They have defeated the Stickney broth- ers, two of the best three golfers in St. Louis. 7 Ralph McKittrick, champion of the city, throws away his tennis racquet every spring and wins the local golf championship with most consummate eare, ~ It may ‘be that St. Louis Is a bit too far South to be a great golf town. It may be that the young men of the city do not take to the Scotch game. May- hap the warm weather of the summer, which drives” ‘the golfers thither, does not serve the cause of the sport. Yet it would seeni that summer-goers could play it abroad if they wanted to. In any event the weight of evidence favors the unpopular contention of Mr. Gould. As evidence « it one might with safety bet that St. Louls will not have a man in the semi-finals of the championship of the Western Golf As- — which — at Glen Bcho on

JOKE ON HIS FAT CAPTOR

Lad Agilely Climbed Fire Es- cape and Patrolman Toiled After Him. Climbing tire escapes and playing hide and seek on top. of seven-story buildings are not to the liking of Policeman Ber- berich of Central District, who weigls niore than two. hundred pounds, so, naturally, when he was called upon to do these stunts saturday morning -he exbibited a great deal of reluctance and afterward complained of the strenuous life of a voliceman. At 4 o’clock Saturday morning, Ber- berich, who was investigating the thett of copper wire, went to the home of John Diament, 15 vears old, of 140% Papin street and routed the boy out ol bed, “Where's the rest of your asked Berberick, after Johnny had dressed himself and i4 accom- pany the officer to the statiou. “They're up on top of the biscuit fac- tory,”” said Johnny. He was referring to the roof of the Columbia Biscuit Co. s seven-story structure at Fourteenth anc Papin streets. “What are you trying do, ‘kid’ me?’ asked Berberick. “No, that’s straight goods, They sleep up there every night. We've got a reg- ar den up there.” Berberich studied a moment. He was standing in front of the biscuit buila- ing. If the other boys were up there they would probably see him and if he started for the Four Courts with John- ny they might make their “get away.”, “You lead the way up that fire es- eape,’’ said Berberich after he had pro- cured a ladder and placed it against the building, so he could reach the lower end of the escape, which extends down only to the secgnd floor, “il you ty to get away from ime I'll shoot you.” Johnny went up the fire escape like a monkey. Berberich had all he could do to keep from falling. He was out of breath when he finally reached the roof. “Where's that gang?’ asked the po- liceman as he hunted high and low in every nook and corner of the roof. Ber- berich struck match after‘match as he hunted behind smokestacks and under akylights. He was covered with dirt from head to feet. “Where's that gang you were telling me about?’’ he repeated in tones of dis- appointment. “Oh, 1 guess they ain’t up here to- night,” said Johnny. ‘‘They always do come up here. This is. our den.’’ Back down the fire escape went Ber- berich, with Johnny after him. Later the policeman rounded up the other boys, all’sleeping snugly at their homes. Then asked why they had not spent the night as usual, on top of the -bis- cuit building, the boys professed the greatest surprise. “Why. we never was up there in our life,’ they said in chorus... ‘Johnny Diament was only playing a joke on you.” Later Johnny admitted that he had fooled Berberich, and explained that he - wanted to see if the ‘big, fat ‘copper’ could get up the fire escape. “If you were only a man,” said Ber- berich as he shook his fist*at Johnny. The other boys arrested are: Tom Hoffman, 13, of 1410 La Salle street; Harry Sullivan. 17, of 820 Lafayette ave- nue; Marion Orman, 6, of 411 South Fifteenth street: Clarence O'Brien, 14, of 1225 North Fifteenth street, and Har- ry Dawes, 13. of 832 South Tenth street. blag deny that they had a hand in stealing the wire.

AUSH BUSCH BLL Members of House of Delegates Say They Know of No Such Plan, A rumor, current in railroad circles, that the House of Delegates is prepar- ing at its first regular meeting to pass the Busch Manufacturers’ Railway ordi- nance, for the extension of the road southwardly, is denied by the members of the Railroad Committee of the House of Delegates, which has the measure in charge. “The Railroad Committee has had no meeting during the vacation of the As- scmbly,”’ says Delegate Gazzola, chair- men ot the committee. “I have ho present intention of calling the commit- tee together in advan.e of the first reg- ular meeting Friday, Sept..7. Ll uo not say positively that the: bill will not be reported at the first meeting, because a inceting might be held immediately be- fore the Hovse goes into session. have no intention at present of calling such a meeting, but it would: not be im- porsible. I do not know how the mem- bers of the House, or even the members of the committee stand on the meas- ure.:’’ Speaker Pro. Tem. Nash, another mem- ber of the Railroad Committee, declared he had heard no rumor that the bill was to be given a swift enactment at the first mesting of the House after the recess. “The Railroad Committee has posses- sion of the bill and it can come betore the House only on the report of tifat committee,” says Delegate Nash. “No meeting of the committee has yet been held on the b'!ll and none has been announced as in prospect.” — The Busch Manufacturers’ Railway bill has passed the Council. The meas- ure grants the railway franchises across city streets and alleys, se that it may run frem Utah street to a point about 400 feet. west of Morgansford road. As compensation for this franchise the road is-to pay the city $5000 a year, the first payment to be five years after the ac- ceptande of the ordinance .by the rail- way company. The obligation ts also assumed by the railway of alteting the {| grade of its tracks from the grade of the street and of building all the viaducts across the streets“which it crosses.

TRAIN CREWS FIGHT FIRE

Hysterical and Swooning Per- sons Carried Bodily From Cars to Platform. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—There were ex- citing. scenes in the subway last night as the result of a fire on a southbound express train at the Fourteenth street station. Traffic was ticd up for 35 minutes.and condition became so intolerable on many of the trains that passengers threat- ened to attack the conductors and wreck the cars if they were not allowed to dis- embark and make their way along the trucks tuo the stations. Some of the conductors refused to open doors or move the trains so that the passengers could get off, and it was only after women had fainted that .they gave in and the trains groped slowly through the smoke that filled the tube to the stations. Many trains were stalled until traffic was resumed and hundreds of passeigers had to swelter in the cars, Stifling smoke filled the subway from about Twenty-third street to the Brook- lyn Bridge station. Trains were stalled all along the line and thousands of people sweltered and fumed and choked in the oars. — The fire was caused at the Fourteenth street station by a short circuit in the motor box of the sixth Car of the train. There was a sharp report, followed by a Sheet of bluc tame, which shot from underneath the car and enveloped the rear platform. The motorman heard the report and brought the train to a stand- still before the first cur had passed the nlatform. The blue flame, which lighted up the Subway, scared the passengers; women screamed and fainted, while men made au bee line for the doors and fought their Way out to the platform. The guards and stationmen had. to look after the women and get them out of the burning car. Those who had fainted and the hysterical ones had to be carried out bodily. The current on the third rail was quickly turned off. and the train crew fought the fire with sand for 20 min- utes before it was under control. The train was then started down town. Be-= fore it reached the Brooklyn Bridge it got afire twice, at the Astor Place and the Spring Street Station. No passen- gers were aboard it then, but a num- ber of people -who were waiting for trains fled to the street. BUSINESS NOTICE, Peauty bringers, are Satin skin cream and Satin skin complexion powder.

TREES SHADE ARC LIGHTS This May, Cause Residence Dis- tricts to Have Incandes- cent Lamps.. Information just supplied by Thomas’ Carter, Supervisor of City Lighting, to | the Board of Public Improvements shows that the present method of lighting the city will be materially changed if an electrical municipal lighting piant is ob- tained. Less than one-fourth of the city is now lighted by electricity. The money spent annually for gas in light- ing the sireets is $438,951.53. Only $109,- 987.70 is now spext for electric lights. All plans hitnerto discussed for a municipal lighting plant have contem- plated electric lighting only. Experts point out thatthe are light is entirely unavailable in the residence’ districts where trees abound, becaus? a single tree will shade a large area from a sin- gle light. For this reason it is possi- ble that the estimates for the munici- pal lighting plant will contemplate light- ing the residence sections of the city with incandescent lights. mae The feasibility of installing a munici- pal gas plant is being discussed also by the city officials. They, however, point gut that such a plant would be so ex- pensive that gas would have to be sup-; plied to private consumers to justify the outlay. Lights and Costs, The information supplied by Lighting Supervisor Carter shows how the city is lighted’ at present in all parts and the cost of the lighting. The statistics are as follows: Are lamps on streets east of Jeffer- son avenue in the business. district: Number of miles of street, 75.8; num- ber of lamps, 1020; price per 1000 hours, $23.77: cost per year, $95,612.29. ; Incandescent lamps in alleys east ot: Jefferson avenue, in business district: Number of miles of alleys, 43.70; number of lamps, 750; price per thousand hours, $4.79: cost per year, $14,375.41. Mantle gas lamps north of Keokuk street, in residence district: Number 0! miies of streets, 461.76; number of Jamps, 14,566: price per thousand hours, $6.81; cost per year, $394,277.28. Mantle gas lamps south of Keokuk street, in residence district: Number ol nilles of streets, 55.€9: number of lamps, 1909; cost per thousand hours, $5.95; cost per year, $44,674.25. “ -_— -— e+ New Fast Train to Texas. Officials of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad will meet soon, it is an- nounced, to arrange for a new fast train between St. Louis and Kansas City and Oklahoma and Texas cities.

ee GOOD AND HARD Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking.

It is remarkable what suffering some persons put up with just to satisfy an appetite for something. ue A Michigan woman says; “I had been using coffee since I was old enough to have a cup of iny own at the table, and from it [ have suffered agony hundreds of times in the years ast. “My troubles first began in the form of bilious colic, coming on every few weeks and almost ending my life. At every attack for 8 years [ suffered in this way. I used to pray for death to relieve me from my suffeMng. | had also attacks of sick headache, and began to suffer from catarrh of the stomach, and of course awful dyspep- sia. “For about a year I lived on crack- ers and water. Believing that coffee was the cause of all this suffering, 1 finally quit it and began to use Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with my stom- ach, my troubles have left me and I am fast gaining my health under its use. “No wonder “I conden coffee and tea. No one could be in a much more criti- cal condition than I was from the use of coffee. Some doctors pronounced it cancer, others ulceration, but none gave me any relief. But since I stopped coffee and began Postum I am getting ¢ o ‘ ~ ; «o \e*e & ‘ ) *% ‘ian ai . ~ 3 “> > — . | . , -_ ; ’ ’ * a ‘\ } ae , ” - ye ‘ . . fy -? ra ‘ : 7 - 4 . ail PS - es , i ¥ _~ f t gt =f . : , om *- “> * “~ : . ; £3 ; ¥ —,.
