El James Callery, superintendent of the mines at Punxsutawney, states that the battle was the result of the drunken riot which broke out among the Italian miners yesterday afternoon shortly aft- er 1 o'clock. There Was some trouble-at the mines a couple of months ago, and the men were out on a strike, but a compromise was effected a month or more ago, and since then the mines have been working steadily. The trouble came to a climax late in he afternoon, when Sergt, Logan went o Florence to search for Leopold Scar- lat, who is’‘charged with shooting his brother-in-law, Bruno Trazzone, Friday night. Logan was in Dr. Bodenhorn's _office when Salvatore Waltzoch, who is said to be one of the most desperate Hand, started to fight with a countfyman in front of _,the house where Waltzoch boards. When Logan placed” Waltzoch under rrest the latter invited him into the arding house to prove his good char- ‘acter. ogin had scarcely passed the door when one of three — in the house made a lunge at him with a stil- 2 etto, the weapon passing between his searm and body.

He then telephoned to the barracks, and a detachment of five patrols was detailed under Lieut. — to goxgto his assistance. The de- tachment arrived at Florence at 4:30 o'clock. Private John Henry itmmedi- ately started for the house, but when about 20 feet from it was shot down. Chambers and Mullen, in attempting the rescue of their companion, were shot down before they reached him. A telephone call was sent in and 16 addi- itional troopers were hurried to the scene.

WOMEN THINK IT GREAT Take Robbery as Part of Their Trip in the “Wild West.” eae ee eee WAWONA, Cal., Sept. 3.—Three miles from Ahwahnee a Yosemite stage was halted by a bandit yesterday afternoon. It was driven by Bright Gillespie, who took President Roosevelt and his party through the park aon their visit here three years azo. The robber appeared at a bend in the road and told the driver to ‘‘come on up.”” The driver drove until he was within 2 few feet of the robber and then stopped. The robber ordered the passengers out. The driver was told to go on some fifty, feet more. The bandit then lined the ‘passengers up in the road. Wertemer Bishon of New York was the first passenger searched, and $7.59 taken from him. Mr. Bishop snapped the robber’s picture. He says the rob- ber’s voice was very calm, worked care- lessly and every chance was given the driver to shoot him had he a gun. A. F. Ormsbee, a friend of Mr. Bishop from Brooklyn, N. Y., lost $13. He took. two snapshots of the robber. Two of the passengers were women. They took the robbery as past of the trip. Soldier Wanted to Shoot, A soldier passenger was asked to get out of the stage. He had a loaded rifle, and as the bandit was rather careless in the manner of facing the passengers, the soldier took aim, but was prevented from shooting by his fellow passengers who feared his aim might not be true and that the robber might have accom- plices. The Wells-Fargo treasure box was taken out and rifled and the contenis burned. It is not known how much this box contained. The United States mail was taken out in search of another treasure box but not disturbed further. The Sheriff and a posse are gfter the bandit and the stage company has of- fered a reward for his arrest and con- viction. WOMAN STRUCK BY TROLLEY CAR Mrs. Helen Bresnahan, 65 years old, a widow living with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Kiel, at 1016 Armstrong avenue, was struck by a Chouteau avenue car last Thursday and received injuries from which she died Monday morning. She had been living for some time at 9134 Gratiot street and was moving to a new home on Armstrong avenue. She started >to the house with her little grandson, to be followed later by her daughter. At the corner of Twenty-sec- ond street a car bore down upon her and before she had time to get out of the way she was struck, knocked down and rolled for a distance of 5) feet. Mrs. Bresnahan had presence of mind to give her little grandson a strong push just as the car came upon them, but being advanced in years, she was not able to save herself. She was badly bruised about the body and head and Dr. Louis Shucap, with offices at Twenty-second§ street and Chouteau avenue, who was called to dress her injuries, pronounces her death due to a fractured skull. No report of the injury was made to the police, but the Coroner has been notified and will hold an inquest Tuesday. a ‘nee E.

S, SHIPS UNDER REVIEW President Roosevelt Inspects Greatest Assemblage Amer- ican War Vessels. “FIGHTING BOB” / PROUD Rear amizal Evans Surveys Command With Admiration — "Not Large Enough.” ILLUMINATION TONIGHT Electrical Display From Aboard Mayflower. OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Sept. 3.—Under Skies that broke. brilliantly blue before a whistling westerly gale which swept down Lond Island Sound and blew out to sea the sullen clouds and tempestu- ous rain which this morning threatened to mar the spectacle, President Roose- velt today within hailing distance of his summer home reviewed the most mag- nificent naval fleet ever assembled un- der the American flag. Forty-five of the most splendid types of fighting vessels afloat lay at anchor in three long columns as the naval yacht Mayflower, which just u year ago was written into history as the meeting ground of the peace plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan passed up and down the lanes, the President, an applauding spectator on the bridge. The Mayflower’s journey was made amid a continuous boom of saluting can- nons and gun after gun spoke the navy’s honor to the Commander-in-Chief of all America’s military forces. ' President Roosevelt has as his guests on board the Mayflower the Secretary of the Navy and several other Govern- ernment officials; members of the Senate and House committees on naval affairs, and the nuaval attaches of eight of the powers of the world. There was something of an object lesson in this gathering of a represent- ative array of the American navy, about one-third of the fighting forces being in the review. When the parade of the Mayflower was over, and the President had looked with critical eye at each of the flag- dressed vessels, his yacht came to an- chor and he received on board the com- manding officers of the fleet. Then fol- lowed a gala luncheon at which the offi- cers, the Government officials, the at- taches, Senators and Congressmen were guests, together with a number of the personal friends of the President. Flanking the war vessels which glis- tened in purest white, under the direct rays of the sun and against a low sky of khlue lying back of the storm-black clouds along the horizon, was the great- est fleet of private yachts, small boats and pleasure craft probably that has ever been drawn together such a small compass. Each of these was decked with signal flags from stem to stern, and added materially in the painting of a marine spectacle unparalelled in the historv of the American people. This was the scene which greeted the President as the Mayflower steamed out from Oyster Bay shortly after 11 o’cfock. it was just 20 minutes past that hour when the reviewing yacht&S came within range of the. ‘flagship Maine, which stood at the head of the center column of the fleet. There came a flash of flame, and a pu of gray smoke from the starboard saluting cannon of the flagship which was the signal for the other vessels: to join in a unanimous salute of 21 guns. It required 20 minutes for the May- flower to run down the first lane. Then she put about and eame up on the out- er edge of the most westerly column of the ships. Reaching the head of the column again, the Mayflower’ turned once more to the west and took a tour in outside the torpedo-boat line, coming eastward to the Maine’s position once more, and then cast anchor. After luncheon the President visited several of the ships. When he returned again to the Mayflower the review was practically at an end, although Mr. Roosevelt and: most of his guests re- mained on board to witness the illumi- naation of the fleet, which occurs at 8 o'clock tonight. When the President stepped on board the Malflower the great fleet lay in three columns, each about two miles in length, with battleships and monitors in the center column, the cruisers and several other battleships in the off-shore caQlumn and a long line of torpedo de- stroyers stretched between the remain- der of the fleet and the shore. Eneircling the entire fleet was a cor- don of catters making a picket line for the exclusion of the excursion boats. Half an hour before the arrival of the President, Secretary of the Navy Bona- parte boarded the Mayflower and was received with a salute by the marine guard and the ruffies of the drums. Following him came Postmaster-General Cortelyou. who was also honored on the quarter deck. Attaches Saluted. The naval attaches representing for- elgn governments came on board the Des, Moines and were transferred to the Mayflower in launches. As they reached the gangway there was more saluting. Members of the naval committees of Congress were also taken in the May- flower as guests of the President during the review. As Rear Admiral “Fighting Bob" Evans surveyed from the bridge of his flagship the Maine the 45 vessels of his command, stretching more than three miles down the ‘sound in three columns, he looked admiration that he refused to express to the newspaper man who visited him just after the fieet, which is to be reviewed by the President today, had got information, He was enthusiastic, but not boast- While he recognized the splendor of the fleet, he declared that it was not as big as a few that some other great powers had assembled in waters of the old world, ins, er oe 175 Miners Wounded. rofusi to to th i capital. one 0 = W Ssour!

At 3228 Pine street a woman waved a handkerchief from a second-story win- dow at the marchers. A structural iron- worker saw her and waved his cap in response. The woman had bright au- burn hair, and the workman's saluta- tion was ‘Hello, red.”’ She seemed to like it.

Cars were massed at the _ sheds at Compton and Laclede avenues, and the members of the unions boarded them, bound for Forest Park Highlands, where the afternoon was spent in picnicking and speechmaking. On Pine street, near Compton avenue, crowd of white boys engaged in a scuffle with a crowd of negroes while the parade was passing. Fists and the slender canes vended along the street for th eoceasion were freely used. Be- fore anyone was seriously hurt a group of charging policemen scattered the bil- ligerents. One negro boy was busy reaching for a brickbet and was caught. The others escaped. The line of margh was disarranged by the eagerness of the men to see how the ‘“‘scrap’’ terminated. The prisoner, grinning, was greeted with laughter and shouts as he was led along the line by his captor.

BOY BUILDING Right Food Makes Fine Boys. Many people have questioned the truthfulness of the statement that the brain can be really nourished and built up from some particular kind of food. Experience is better than any kind of theory. The wife of a prominent legislator in Kentucky says: “A woman of my ac- quaintance was in a badly run down condition at the time she became a mother, and at three months of age the child was a mite of humanity pitiful to look upon, with no more brain de- velopment than a monkey. “About the time I speak of when the ehild was three months old the mother began feeding him Grape- Nuts. “In ten days it was plain that a change was taking place and in a few weeks the boy became rosy, healthy and rounded out. “He is now five years old and his food this entire time has been Grape- Nuts and cream. He seldcm ever takes any other kind of food. — “It is a splendid illustration of the fact that selected food can produce re- sults, for this boy is perfectly formed, has a beautiful body and arms and legs of a young athlete, while his head and brain development appears perfect, and he is as bright and intelligent as can be. “] cannot comprehend a better illus- tration of the truth of the claim made for Grape-Nuts, that it is a brain and body builder.” Name given by Postar Co., Battle Oreek, Mich. , ‘ FALL [N TUNNEL PIKE COUNTY MAN SHOT BY NEIGHBOF Democratic Nominee for Collec- tor Is Twice Wounded in Church Yard.

E. Walters of Bowling Green, and while his condi- tion is Serious, the physicians are cer- tain he will recover. Mr. Tinsiey’s wife was ill and he went to church alone on horseback. Being in haste to return to his wife, he was the first to leave the church. As he started towards his horse Thomas came up behind and shot five times. One bullet tore off the index finger of Tinsley’s left hand, another entered his side and came out of his breast a few inches from the heart. None of the vital organs were penetrated. No satisfactory explanation action can be given unless Thomas’ mind is unbalanced. He is % years old, lives with his widowed mother half a mile away from the Tinsley home, is a successful farmer and stock trader and has made money. Mr. Tinsley is a stock trader and be- longs to one of the oldest and most prominent families in the county. He came to Pike County from Virginia. He and E. W.

Mr. Tinsley was nominated for Col- lector of Pike County tn the last Dem- ocratic primary, May 30, by a large plu- rality over six opponents. He has many friends and has lived a blameless life. Thomas always consulted Mr. Tinsley and Harry Bell about his stock deals, and it appears that .he was possessed of the idea that Tinsley and Bell were trying to get his money.

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 3.—Cuba’s only hope of an early peace lies in mediation or arbitration. Throughout Cuba the feeling is Strong that nothing can pre- vent tedious, calamitous guerilla war- fare, such as tie island was afflicted with for many years under Spanish rule, except a compromise of interests brought about by someone who has the confidence of all classes. Like Gomez, Gen. Guerra might har- ass the Government indefinitely with small loss to his own forces. causing un- told damage to the country. At the head of the Government is President Palma, who has fallen greatly in popu- lar estimation since the suspicion has | spread that he holds his position! through re-election by means of intimi- | dation and juggling with ballots. ‘The Situation of the President of Cuba is4 not unlike that of the Czar of Russia. Very few believe now that the Govern- ment can put down the rebellion. : The men who have taken up arms are going to make a schedule of demands, the principal of which will be that the present administration shall get out, and that a new one shall be obtained through a sort of arbitration. In an interview with patch correspondent last President Capote said: Intervention Not Wanted. “We are entirely able to handle the problems before us. It is a question for Cuba and Cubans to settle themselves. Under no circumstances is American in- tervention conceivable or necessary.” The Government has a report that Manuel Ridguez’s band has been dis- persed at Cuairo Caminos by the Rural Guards, who captured three prisoners and killed some. Gen. Geurra’s force of 3000 men is at Maritanas, Avalo's force of 1500 has left Guane to attack Guerra. Fighting Friday night at Arroyo Apo- lo, six miles south of Havana, lasted nearly two hours. The insurgents re- tired. Who was in command is not Known. Seven rebels paraded openly out of Jesus de Monte, irside the city limits, carrying a rebel flag, and were cheered by the residents. Secretary of the Treasury Fonts Ster- ling was called upon Tuesday by a rep- resentative of Zaldo & Co., shipping with cable dispatches showing that a consignment of war munitions has been received by the Ward Line at New York. Zaldo had contracted to supply munitions conditional on pay- ment on delivery aboard the steamship. The demand Friday was for munitions delivered aboard the Morro Castle. Carlos Zaldo, formerly Secretary of Justice and State, now one of President alma’s advisers, is enlisting Spanish immigrants, offering them $2.50 a day. Recruiting agents await steamers and hunt the quarantine station for men. Cubans are enlisting slowly, despite the high pay, and the immigrants are desirable for soldiers, having served in the military in Spain. Spanish Minister Protests. The Spanish Minister here has object- ed to such proceedings, and has noti- fied the immigrants that they. will for- fcit their Spanish citizenship if they enlist and cannot expect help from their mother country. The enlistment of Spaniards is arousing the resentment of Cubans, claim that it savors strongly of vious wars. German, English and American blems are at a premium. American stock breeders sent an order to the States Saturday for flags, which they want for their pastures. Small Ameri- can emblems sold at $6. None are on the market now. San Antonio de los Banos was entered at 9 o’clock last night by 200 mounted and well-equipped insurgents, under Col. Guas. They visited the hard- ware stores, taking considerable quantities of munitions and receipting for them. The munitions had been sent to the town by the Government.

There seldom has been an easier fist fight to diagnose. or ‘dope,’ as sport- ing stylists will have it, than the Gans- Nelson affair which takes place Mon- day afternoon. Mr. Edgren covers the entire subject in very few words. In his cogent ar- ticle on this page he says that, pro- viding Gans is not weakened by reduc- ing, and the fight is on the level, Gans cannot lose. Mr. Currie, the special of the Post-Dispatch anil New York World, a man of excellent judgment along such lines, disposes of this most important question of condition. He has seen Gans and says that the negro is human eye can _ see, fit. Gans dught to win. Mr. Edgren, however, has no faith in the fight, and Mr. Edgren is closer to fights and fighters than any honest man alive. He says that Nelson has two chances to win, one on the level, the other if Gans lies down, whereas Gans has but one, and that is to fight on the level. Nelson will not, Mr. Edgren thinks, lie down. As for the talk about the pressure Nevada gun fighters will bring to make them fight honestly, it is mere wild western buncombe. I have lived long among the miners and gun-fighters of the Sierras and the Rockies. I have seen far more dangerous fighting men about Nineteenth and Chestnut streets some years ago. Gans can fake before the woolies with just as much sang froid as he did before 12,000 wild men when he laid down to McGovern in Chicago. To those who assume interest in this fight the articles of Mr. Edgren and Mr. Currie in this issue of the Post-Dispatch bear all the news and give all the in- formation that can be desired or se- cured. Personally, I believe Gans can win any time he feels like it, and that he can beat every man in the light, welter andi middleweight classes up to O’Brien and Tommy Ryan. Fit and fighting, I cannot see where Nélson has a chance en earth. But, as-Mr:. Edgren points out, he has two to Gans’ one. correspondent as far as Therefore, Beebe sure is the honey boy. Dig up your old, discarded, wildcat mining stock. You see they are taking such stuff in bets on the Gans-Nelson fizht. If Col. McGrew, playing a Red Dot ball, drove into the bunker on No. 6 hole at Glen Echo on his second shot, and if Chandler Egan, playing a Blue Dot, made a new record of 149 for 18 holes on the same course, how far would one of Sard Smith's “bombs” blow Joe Gans across the lawn tennis courts at the Triple A while Semple ame an ‘Montgomery? ?

The performance of the ve‘eran base- ball demonstrator, Sam Thompson, at Detroit on Friday, brings under our no- tice the virtue of careful and correct living. At 445 Thompson can hit as well as he could at 25. Since his withdrawal from profession- al baseball 10 years ago Thompson has pursued the simple and pleasant life of a contented man at Detroit. Not what anyone would call rich, he possesses a competence, and is satisfied with it. He enjoys himself in moderation—which is, after all, the only way to do it. The old fellow has crowned a youth of labor with what Goldsmith call ‘an age of ease."’ Thompson says that his eye is not as good in the field as it was, but there {s no lack of keenness at the bat. He demonstrated that on Friday. Ameri- cans are prone tS denominate a man Old when _ he _enters the thirties. Yet it is a fact that men should retain their athletic vigor until they are well along in the forties. The eye does fail in the average man from 38 to 45. Until that time there is no reason on earth why, with fair playing fortune, no injuries, etc., he should not be as good a base- ball player at 40 as at 25. We grow old too soon because

~NEW PHILIPPINES: GOVERNOR SLATED ——.-- @£>> ——--—- Judge Magoon of Panama Canal Zone to Succeed Gen. Smith.

ASSEMBLY NEXT SUMMER

First Step in Direction of Home Rule Makes Roosevelt Anxious, WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Judge Chas. E. Magoon, the Governor of the Panama Canal Zone and United States Minister to the Republic of Panama, will ebe given rule in the islands and the President is Filipinos and paving the way for some measure of self-government. He is siated for the Governor-Generalship of the Philippines to succeed Gen. Smith, who will retire next summer. Gov. Ma- goon has made his preparations for leav- ing Panama and Is expected to reach the United States within a few days. He will remain in this country a few weeks and then will go to the Philippines as Vice-Governor-General. When Judge Magoon becomes Govern- or-General of the Philippines he will be given a free hand, such as was granted to Secretary Taft when he was in the Philippines and Magoon will be expected, as the personal representative of the President and Secretary Taft, to make the policy of the administration in the islands satisfactory to the natives. If he succeeds he will be rewarded by a sition in the Cabinet if the Repub- fcans remain in power. Step to Home Rule. Next summer the Philippine General Asgsembly will come into existence. This ia the first step in the direction of home ruls in the islands and the President is anxious that no blunders shall be com- mitted. The lower house of the Gen- eral Assembly will be composed of na- tives elected by popular vote, while the members of the Philippine Commission ractically will constitute the upper ranch or Senate. With the reforms that are to be inaugurated, carrying with them more or less of change from present methods, the President wishes a strong man who has proved -his execu- tive ability. where he can _ institute these reforms without turning the condi- tions in the islands topsy turvy. Owing to his investigation of the Phil- ippines while attached to the War De- partment, Judge Magoon is believed to be especially qualified to carry out poli- cles that were so largely discussed when he was the law Officer of the department and under Secretary Root and later un- der Secretary Taft, he was always called in as an adviser in matters pertaining ‘to the administratioh of the islands,

POINT BANN ER SEEMS TO BELONG TOM.A. C., yp. =

Unless All Apparent Indications Are Odiously Deceptive Missouri Athletic Club Will Win Western : Championships. BY MYLES J. BURKE. In spite of the innumerable “bombs” we have been informed would be ex- ploded, in order to keep the Missouri A. C. track team from winning the Western A. A. U. track and “(field championship at League Park this af- ternoon, the Cherry Diamond wearers seem to have the banner won hands down. . A team from the Central Y. M. C. A. is the only real contender for the honor, although a small but select team of Kansas City will also com- pete. Martin Delaney, athletic direc- tor of the Kansas City A. C., in or- der to spike the guns of Mr. Bassett, athjetic director of the Missouri A. C., consented to release his men_that they might wear the Cherry Circle of the St. Louis Y. M. C. A._ The Registration Committee of the W. A. A. U. put a damper on this nice lit- tle scheme by notifying Mr. Delaney and his men that if his men competed for the Y. M. Cc. A. that Y. M. C. A. property they would be for one year afterward. This changed the aspect of the matter entirely and they prob- aly will run unattached. Bassett's round and rubicund face will be wreathed in smiles as the meet proceeds this afternoon. Pro- moter Sard Smith has worked over- time to try to make the M. A. C. men hustle to win the meet, but it appears as though Sardius has fallen short and the Washington avenue club men will regain the championship _ title which they lost to Kansas City_in the annual meet held at Kansas City last year. Branham or Lord in Hundred. There should be some fine contests Mon- day, however, although the fact that the events will be decided on the grass may possibly -upset form. The fact that the park is well drained is a blessing, 4s, while the track may be slow, it would be almost next to impossible to run off the meet on an ordinary grounds, owing to the heavy rain yesterday and this morning. ' The :tirst event, the 100-yard dash, will be started at 2:30 p. m. and the other 14 events that compose the cham- piunship program will be run off as rapidly as possible. turting with the even-distunce dash, it seems that the Cherry Diamond should be the first emblem to touch the tape. Eob Branham, the former Missouri University sprinter, who ‘1s creaited with being a 10-second man, and Archie Loud, the ‘McKinley High, School youngster, seem to be the real contenders for the gold medal. Bran- ham is a ruggedly built boy, who has shown a world of apeed for about W yards. Up to date in local meets, that is as far as he has been able to show his real ability. On the contrary, Loud runs the first es fast as he can and on the last 50 when he grits his teeth and boos his head with every stride, there has been few that have been able to withstand his rugh to the finish. Condi- tion will d e the event. Nig Warner, the former Blees footbalt, baseball and track man; Charles Dreh-

main, the big blond turner develo b Bassett, cua meenehend the loan, i M. A. C. men, seem to have the best of the 220. Drehmann has been out every evening for weeks training. He runs like a steam engine for the 220 and it is about a toss up as to whether he or Warner will win, although Drehmann really looks the best. Bushyhead is a new man on the M. A. C. team, but the little Indian will have to go some to get in the money today. Tidd Hot Staff in Quarter. If the quarter-mile run is not won in close to :530 this afternoon in spite of the slow-going local athletic men will be badly mistaken. Henry Tidd, who caused such an awful rumpus in A. A. U. circles not long ago, over the fact that he won a 440 in such fast time slowed up to a walk, will have Burr Douglass of the K. G. A. C. and Johnson, the McKinley High School boy, to draw out his best speed. It will be a pretty race, as if Johnson is in form he has a fine chance also. John- son ‘is the boy that won the interscho- lastic 440 yards championship. Jenkins, another Missouri UU. man running forthe M.A. C., is really a fine half miler. In all of the handicap ath- letio meets his closely cropped head could be seen gradually moving up through large fields from scratch, and he generally landed the first prize, too. He has form, endurance and speed, and Bassett counts him a sure winner. Jackson, Jenkins’ running mate, has it on Millhouse of the Central Y. M. C. A. and Jock Cannon of the Kansas City A. C. is the mile. Jackson is a little fellow with but ordinary speed, but he can run a fast race, and most of all has nerves of iron. He will drop rather than slow up or quit. Jackson, Mill- house and then Cannon is the way the finish should be recorded. Forshaw to the Front, Joe Forshaw of the M. A. C.,. who finished the Marathon race at Athens, looks a certain winner of the five-mile race. Five miles is Joe's forte. Busl- ness starts for Joe from now until spring, and he is going out to try to land the candy today and thn Tretire for some months. lf Emil Freymark had not oeen ovit of the game for some time he would have a fine chance in the high junin. Emil has been ill, but last week cleared 5 feet 10 tnches. MecElrov. Delanevy's “grasshopper,” looks the winner. Tal- bot, the ansas iCtvy A. C. school boy, winner of ‘he hammer throw at Chica- go in the big school-boy meet in that city, will take the hammer to a cer- tainty. Anderson and Hans Wulff will gather the points in that order in the shot nut for the M. A. C. The discus and weight events 4fe open, as they are always unreliunbie events to try to pick. In the 12% hich hurdles. Dr. Seth Smith, minus his Van Dyke beard, will once ‘more don his seniked shoes. Crouch, a former M. U. man, it«# really the onlv moan Smith fears. LitUle Frank Mason and Smith sheuld battle to the tape in the low-hurdle event. Frank can f over the low sticks Hike a scared rabbit. His form ws perfect. If he lays low and competes in the low hurdles &lone he should ‘“con.”’ Nelson vs. Gans returns. Only direct wire in cafe of the fight. Heidelberg

Thirty-six holes was the number nominated in the articles, but a tie at that point and in succeeding holes to the fortieth made it necessary for the play- ers to pu in four extra holes. Mr. Fair- banks was runier-up to Warren Dick- inson in the Transmississippi champion- ship at Glen Echo last fall. He put Ralph McKittrick and Harry Allen out in ene day. His games is not very long, but deadly in its steadiness, and nan thinks he is off his putting when he fails to hole 12-footers. Dick Kimball. the long driver, who has caiiatedte arene to Glen Echo from Boston, is regarded as a man liable io cause trouble in this championship. Mr. Kimball walks, acts and plays like a golfer. He wears what Jock Young, the club maker, calls a “cowt (coat) while playing and is most workmanlike in action. W. C.

We hope Mr. Lambert may run into another streak of that deadly putting which made it possible for him to give to Stuart Stickney such an elegant trim- ne in the city championship compe- tion. William Duffy, the professional at the Country Club, thinks mighty well of the chances of George Ormiston, the Chicago player in the W. G. A. tour- ney. William also told us that Ralph McKittrick had a good chance for the title, cneangene H.

or LOYALTY TO AMERICAN SYSTEM. The almost sensational interest excited by the recent speeches of Justice David J. Brewer of the United States Supreme Court has an explanation as simple as it is important. Reduced to its lowest terms, all Judge Brewer said was that we can settle every problem in the United States, no matter how grave, by enforcing the principles of the Constitution, as it provides for an indestructible Union of indestructible States and provides a sufficent defense of justice against the arbitrary power of absolutism in all its forms. The American people as they have absorbed the American tradition will always thrill to such a declaration. They are loyal to that idea above all others. they will give it an overwhelming support, numer- ically and by states in the Electoral College. Judge Brewer left no doubt in the minds of those, who read these speeches attentively that, in his judgment, the Republican party in its colonial and imperialistic policies is violating the Constitution by using arbitrary powers which belong to revolution, rather than to evolution under the Amercan sys- tem. There is no room, in fact, for doubt of this. Nor is there room for doubt that methods now proposed for adoption by the Democratic party as a means of remedying Kepublican abuses in domestic af- fairs are more revolutionary in their departures from American governmental principles than the arbitrary acts of the Republican party itself. No matter from whom the proposition comes to abandon fundamental ideas of the American sys- tem, the popularity of the leader who forces an issue for his own personal departure from the Amer- jean idea will be broken and dissipated by the strength of the American faith in a system whose sole purpose is to secure justice, not to make the people “wards of the nation,”. subject to such ar- bitrary benevolence as “settled the Indian problem” in North America before transferring the problem of paternal assimilation to the Philippines. hp >i =

TELEPHONE EHRENBELEIDIGUNG The law of the telephone is still in a rudimentary condition in all countries, but in Austria the courts decide that the wires mnay give rise to ehrenbelei- digung, which, being interpreted, is, slander cases. Speaking into the phone, a man called another “an impudent person.” He was haled before the court for ehrenbeleidi- gung and fined. And the Court of Appeals sustained the decision on the ground that the words might have been overheard by the telephone operator or other person; so that, speaking over the telephone is speaking in public, and is subject to the law as such. If telephone users are exposed to anything so formidable as ehrenbeleidigung they should _be- ware. The word is itself a caution, a warning, a at. But if it does nothing but induce ill-hu- mored people to mend their telephonic manners and cease pouring abuse ana cheap taunts into the funnel, it will be a most useful monster. It may be hoped that ehrenbeleidigung will find a place in this country’s lav. An old-home week for Missourians is just the thing. The program should be so made that every son of the State will be irresistibly tempted to re- turn and join the racket. -2~ a ae WHIZ WAGONS AND PROSPERITY. Chairman M. E. Ingalls of the Big Four Railroad said the other day that $00,000,000 had been spent on automobiles in this country within the past three or four years. : Whereupon we are informed by various newspa- per authorities that this is‘a sign of “abounding prosperity,” “wealth overflowing,” a “superfluity of riches,” etc., ete. But it has been discovered in Chicago that there are many auto-crazed people who have actually mortgaged their homes to become the owner of a whiz wagon. In Ohio even farms have been pledged. And in Springfield, Mass., the banks report that they hold thousands of dollars in notes made for the same

——o

If this is prosperity, let the autoists and the coun- try make the most of it. But it is not clear to the eautious how an auto which produces pleasure and an expense account is a good foundation of pros- perity, as compared with a farm which produces food for a family of five. And the mystery is deep- ened when it appears that the farm was mortgaged for the price of the machine. _ In the Central District there was not one arrest from midnight Saturday to 10 o’clock Sunday night. This is a record breaker. Has the moral wave rolled over Central! OO DANGERS.OF HIGH PRESSURE. The St. Louis Police Board sat up all night, Fri- day of last week, trying to orm the force and make it a model, It may sit up as much as two nights this week and three next for the same purpose. : The purpose is praiseworthy and so is the zeal shown in carrying it out. The members of the Police Board are very much in earnest, and per- haps President Stewart is as much in earnest as any two-of the rest combined. This is suggested by reports which come over from the all-night session-last week. They indicate

: E that President Stewart's zeal is risking too much pressure at all-night reform sessions. For example, when an officer who is charged with a double murder is convicted of a breach of police rules, it is reported that he was fined $10 ; ith the official] explanation that the fine was made light “because of his other troubles”—that is, the charge of having killed a man and a woman o + apart from his police duties. — When there is an issue forced against it, fighting in a saloon over polities and “getting the worst of it,” the President of the board is re- ported to have cautioned him against letting it occur again. “I am sorry to hear that an officer got the worst of it in a fight with a citizen,” the Presi- | dent of the board is reported as saying. “I’d rather you had come out on top, even if you had been in the wrong.” i This indicates that all-night sessions do not give time enough for reflection. They tend,to exhaust the mind and they may result in such brain fag as moved former Police Commissioners to regret that the policemen under them had not “slugged” more citizens and “slugged” them harder in set- tling the politics of the city. The all-night session should be uséd only as a last resort. The board should proceed to sleep off the effects of these. all-night ideas as soon as possible. he LL. ii se

The Kaiser is pleased with his proposed invita- tion to visit St. Louis. The German press is pleased with the compliment to the Emperor and the Ger- man nation conveyed in the suggestion, universally indorsed, of an invitation. Both the Kaiser and the German press say that the royal recipient of the invitation is too busy at home to take the trip. But the incident is a pleasant one, which cements friendship. Let the invitation be sent. The ob- stacles to the journey may disappear.

NOT BRYAN’S FAULT. In reply to press criticism of his proposal of Fed- eral and State ownership of railroads and to Dem- ocratic protests against its adoption as a party policy, Mr. Bryan gives a dignified and admirable answer. He says that in’ his proposal he does not assume to speak for the Democratic party but for himself and regardless of his candidacy for the presidency. He realizes that he must convince the majority of the people, which is not always right, of the wisdom of his convictions, or stand aside. “Whatever I shall do;” he said to a Post-Dispatch correspondent, “I must have the approval of my conscience,” and paraphrasing Clay’s famous utter- ance, he sald: “I prefer to have the honor of my conscience tqa..having the support of all the people of the United States.” The sentiment is creditable to Mr. Bryan as a citizen, as a gifted orator and publicist. Advocacy of any principle, theory or policy of government is within his rights. He is justified in trying to con- vert the people to his own convictions, to try to bring an old party to their support or to organize a new party for the purpose of putting them into operation. A campaign of this kind is wholly hon- orable and commendable. It is not Mr. Bryan’s fault that his first utterance upon his return to this country was taken as the outline of the Democratic party’s platform and was criticised as such. It was th® fault of the foolish politicians who, without sagacity or fore- thought, were led by their eagerness to find some means of breaking into office to commit the Demo- cratic party to Mr. Bryan without any definite understanding of his intentions, or of the conditions to be confronted in the next presidential campaign. These men did not even heed the warning of Mr. Bryan’s past utterances, which practically com-. zation and socialism. If the Democratic party now finds itself forced to defend socialistic and centralizing policies abhor- rent to sound Democratic principles; if it is threat- ened with wholesale desertions, or if it must stultify itself by repudiating its chosen leadership, it is the fault of the fool leaders whose hypocrisy in prema- turely turning over the party to one man solely on account of his supposed “availability” is only ex- ceeded by their stupidity in risking its commitment to strange doctrine and fatal embarrassment. +++ The beer tax collected in August is the largest ever paid in Missouri in a month, the record beat- ing even that of the World’s Fair August. As. all this was done with the lid on, it may be inferred that the brewery interest has not been so much damaged by the Sunday law as has been sup- posed. f

hip >>. — a BUILD UP THE SUBURBS. Mr. Leo Landau, who induced the Million Club to “resolute” against high rents, has seen a light—the light the Post-Dispatch shed on the question when it suggested that the solution of the rent ques- tion lay in fapid transit at cheap rates to the suburbs. He now proposes an elevated road. If rents are too high in St. Louis—and we doubt if in the main tRey bring too large return for the investment—-they cannot be reduced by popular outcry. They indicate that the population has out- grown the houseroom. The surplus of population may be provided for in two ways, either by mul- tiplying the apartment houses and extending them upward or by extending the homes into the sub- urbs. The latter is the preferable method. But to carry it out there must be rapid transit at cheap rates. It would be well to plan now for means of trans- porting the larger population of a few years hence through subways or elevated roads. They must come in time and should come in the right way, through carefully laid plans for the efficient serv- ice of the public on conditions which will protect. the public interests. But much can be done by im- proving the present facilities and service. If all the steam roads running into St. Louis would put on first-class suburban schedules a vast population could be provided with homes in the suburbs. The beautiful country around St. Louis offers practi- cally unlimited space for attractive homes for the people. The Million Club and other organizations could do good practical work in the way of get- ting better suburban transportation services by in- sisting upon the utilizing and improving of present facilities.

Curtain Rises on “Brown of Harvard,” cies by Henry Woodruff and Cempany, at the Garrick; “The Wizard of Oz,” at the Olympic, and “Monte Cristo,’ at the Century, the Initial Offerings of 1906-07 at These Houses—“Behind the Mask,” at the Grand “The Phantom Detective,” at the Imperial, and Oth- er Changes of Bills—Every St. Louis Playhouse Now Open, With Gardens Nearing Their Finish. opened the season at the Garrick last night, isn’t Tom Brown, at all. It's Gerald Thorne, stroke oar of the ‘varsity eight, ‘grind’ of a tutor who hated his rich young fellow-collegians with hatred born of penury and humiliation, who loved his pretty rustic worthless stripling of Harvard loved to her threatened pas sionate, jealousy protective love that comes near touching a new chord of heart interest on the stage, and who, after his mountain-bred muscles had made hiin the fighting mainstay of the Harvard crew, failed Harvard at the last moment because things had gone wrong with his sister and he cared more for her lit- tle finger than he did for all Harvard's athletic prestige. It’s a big, fine, earnest character, this of Gerald Thorne, and Albert Perry plays it so sincerely that he dominates the stage whenever he's within the audi- ence's view and hearing, despite the lighter cleverness of Henry Woodruff in the title role. Mrs. Rida Johnson Young, who wrote “‘Brown of Harvard,’ con- ceived a rattling good college atory—but she took hold of it wrong end foremost, so to speak. She ought to have made Gerald Thorne the really and truly hero of her plot, building up every situation to fit around him, and his pathetic wisp of @ sister, and then she ought to have called her play ‘“‘The Harvard Stroke,’ and made the university atmosphere a merely secondary and incidental thing in its relation to the story as a whole. If she had done this, then, instead of producing a play that inevitably and not to Its own advantage sounds a reminis- cent echo of “The College Widow’ and “Strongneart,"’ she would have given to us the best and strongest drama of American college life on the stage of today. ’ Then, too, the singulerly appealing Lolita Robertson, ‘‘the girl with the tom- in the role of Marian Thorne, the sister. would so admirably fit inte the new play. She's a wistful character, this sister of the most virile chap in all the “Brown of Harvard’ cast, a pretty, dark-eyed, shrinking with almost infinite possibilities of pathos, and, even with the it now stands, she reaches out across the footlights and draws her audience to her with that sure and certain grip born of those two strange but all potent possessions, temperament and vivid personal magnetism. The two characters together, Gerald and Marian Thorne; are the backbone of “Brown of Harvard’’—and it’s Gerald Thorne, whom the audience remembers when it comes trooping out of the Garrick.) discussing Tc real hero of “Brown of Harvard,’ which the grim young an almost morbid whom with an also a intens», sister disaster- limited opportunities of the story as the play. 4 Judged on its present merits, Mrs. Young's comedy isn’t as good as either “The College Widow’ or ‘‘Strongheart.” It’s bright and amusing, and it sounds again the insistent note of Joyaqus youth, but the note is an echo of that already struck by the two plays just named. The varsity types .in- troduced lack the crispness and sharp-cut etching of ‘‘The College Widow’’ types. The, great scene, that of the Pace between the Harvard and an Eng- lish eight, doesn’t hold the audience breathless during the indicated course of its struggle, as does the football game in “Strongheart,” similarly indi- cated without being actually witnessed. The story of “Brown of Harvard,”’ however, is better than that of elther ‘'The College Widow’ or ‘Strong- heart,” in that it makes @ surer appeal] to the emotions than the former and is simpler and more convincing than the latter. _ Henry Woodruff makes an attractive juvenile role of the leading part. He plays it with muoh vivacity and youthful abandon, at times being strongly suggestive of Thomas W. Ross In “Checkers” and “A Fair Exchange,”’ and he’s a handsome young fellow, fair-haired and clean cut and light on hie feet. But he’s not very convincing as the substitute stroke of the varsity eight, the man who saves the day for Harvard, because he hasn't the phy- Bique necessary to save the day in an’ eight-oar racing shell. The genera! support is good and the performance goes with a sparkling ‘‘rush’’ from start to finish. ee “THE WIZARD OF OZ” AT THE OLYMPIC. ~ “The Wizard of Oz,’ the hodge podge of scenery, pretty girls, clever char- acters and tunes that some enthusiastic press agent has dubbed “The Uncle ‘Tom's Cabin’ of musical comedies, is bick,at the Olympic, and the season was opened Sunday night with a production that St. Louis has seen many Louis would probably be willing to see it many more times if the Same capable company that previously ovresented it could be seen. When “The Wizard" was at the Century last winter for a week it played to capac- My.- But Montgomery’ and Stone were with the’show then. At the Olympic this week George Stone plays the part of the Scarecrow, made famous by Fred Stone. George and Fred are not related to each other. Fred Nice is the Tin Woodman, David Montgomery's old part. George Stone’s makeup as the Scarecrow is satisfactory, and in the first scene, where he came to life in response to the wish of Dorothy Gale, he was excellent. When he was lifted down from his post and ‘took steps to learn to walk” he had as many joints in his body as Fred Stone ever had and he soon showed that he was clever at acrobatic stunts and at dancing. Rut he did not apenk his lines intelligently and his singing was bad. If he purposely gives a nasal twang to his voice he should drop it, for it is not funn d if the twang is natural, he should strive to eradicate it. Fred Nice’'s makeup as the Tin Woodman was not so good as Montgomery's. iis face is smaller and therefore offers less scope for the. use of grease paint. He can sing better than Montgomery, so far as mere singing goes, Montgom- renner
