Friday. Numerous saw- milis located in the northern and niarshy districts have been either Washed away by the terrific waves or torn to splinters by the wind. Their lumber and timbers are scattered over the city or floating down the slowly f ling river. The office of the Western Union Tele- Sraph Co. was six feet under water, its batteries were flooded with water and it will be some time before business can be resumed. The Postal Telegraph building, while not quite as low lying, also suffered se- verely. The new Cawthorne Hotel, just completed, and the Bienville Hotel, fac- ing Bienville square, are damaged to the extent of $5000 each, and the aga sor Hotel, $5000; St. Andrew’s, $3000 ; Southern, $3000. The Southern ‘supply Co. estimates its loss at $100,0« Some Heavy Losers. Among the wholesale houses have sustained the greatest damage Pollock & Bernheimer, wholesale ’ the English Manufacturing ee Co.; Jacobson, dry goods; Jor- & Young Hardware Co.; Cunning- ham Hardware Co.; Barney-Cavy anaugh Hardware Co.; Mobile Drug Co.; E. Zadek Jewelry Co.; Draper "Burns, clothing; American Supply co., mill supplies; Christian Supply Co., Cleve- lan Bros., wholesale grain: T. G. Bush & Co., grocers; James McDonnell Co., grocers: the Marshall Lyons Gro- eery Co.; Muscat & Lott produce deal- ers; the "Mobile Brewery: the Bienville Brewery: the Dixie Chair Co.: James McPhillips Grocery Co., and many others. The Merchants’ Bank, the First Na- tional Bank and the Lienkauff banking establishment were inundated. Much fear is entertained for Fort Morgan, where the Government quaran- tine station is located, and many sol- diers are quartered. In the city many persons and much live stock were res- cued only after heroic efforts. Provis- tons are almost exhausted. Restaurants feed many, but have no supplies on hand. Ham and .eggs constitute their food supply. These, too, will soon be- come exhausted. Pensacola Stricken. The destruction at Pensacola, now es- timated at $6,000,000, may be greater. The hurricane was still raging early morning after lasting three days. first blew 60 miles an hour, to 6 and then 85 and % miles an hour. The tides from the bay backed into: the city for blocks, destroying homes and making rivers out of streets. When the gale was at its highest, and | women and children were running frantically about the streets in dark- ness, an alarm of fire added to the confusion. The fire started in the Pitt Mill near the business district, and horses of the Fire Department refused to go out in the weather. With tin roofs, trees and wires falling around them, the firemen Soares their hose wagons by hand to the blaze, and after hours of work controlled it. Huge Craft Driven Ashore. Yesterday the water rose until the business districts presented an almost indescribable scene. the fifty or nang’) 4 big steamers and sailing vessels in the harbor, only five or six remain. They have been driven ashore and me 8 the Water front is a tass of age from steamers, towboats, launches and sailing craft. Thirty fishing vessels have been destroyed or damaged, and the three big fishhouses with their wharves, are gone. Muskogee wharf and the Command- ancie and Tarragona wharves of the Loulsville & Nashville Railroad are badly damaged. great iron ships of 2000 and 3000 tons have been driven not only ashore, but ve gone through houses a block from the water front. Every house along the water front for 10 miles has been de- stroyed, and the wonder is that the loss of life is not greater.

But, as is usual in such cases, the re- bellious children have fortified their po- sition by putting all the blame on poor ‘father.”’ Forty-eight young women in all were asked by the Veiled Prophet to act as his maids.

He struggled so flercely that someone in the crowd either threav or knocked him down. As he started to rise Jule J.

IHilubbard, the father of Mrs. Martin, cautioned his daughter and Martin not to talk when the police, who had been summoned, reached the scene. Littreal was talking loudly. ‘Shut your mouth,” said to him curtly. “You havent got the end of this yet.” Liftreal Says He Has “Letters.” “If you'll my office,” Litt- real shouted, show you lettere that will make change your mind.’’ “You won't do anything kind,” Hubbard retorted.

By Associated Press. HAVANA, Sept. 29.—An American provisional government assumed posses- sion of Cuba today, when War Secre- tary Taft's proclamation declaring him- self provisional Governer of the island was formally issued.

LARK ED tion concerning it. T the concern f . whan tat

The terms of the proclamation caused general satisfaction, especially on ac- count of the moderate terms in -which it is phrased, its statement that the provisional government of Cuba is un- dertaken only on account of the neces- sities of the situation and its pre@mise that the provisional government 1 be maintained purely for the purpose of restoring peace, order and public con- fidence until a permanent government is established. Secretary Taft has cabled from Hav- ana to Acting Secretary Oliver at the War Department to send the American troops to Cuba in accordance with the program already arranged. Secretary Oliver is trying to commu- nicate this dispatch to President Roose- velt off Barnstable, Mass., on tne May- flower or the Missouri of the Atlantic fleet, by wireless telegraphy, in order to secure the necessary presidential auth- orization of the movement. There are 5500 soldiers to start from Newport News, Va. First Expedition Ordered. While waiting to hear from the Presi- dent at Barnstable, Acting Secretary of War Oliver has issued orders for the firat expedition of 5500 soldiers to pre- pare to sail from Newport News as soon as possible. This is subject to approval by the President, but it is believed at the War Pepartment that as the Presi- dent and Secretary Taft probably had a thorough understanding of what should be done in the present emergency before Secretary Taft sent his message this morning calling for the _ troops, there will be no delay in securing the necessary formality of the President's approval. Therefore the entire program is being put in execution. Quartermaster-General Humphrey has been ordered to immedi- ately contract for the necessarv trans- ports to convey the troops to Cuba, and the traffic maangers of the rallroads centering at Newport News have been instructed to prepare to entrain imme- diately the troops at the various army posts, which have been selected by the general staff for Cuban service. No one appears inclined to doubt the good intentions of President Roosevelt and his representatives, and there is no apprehension of any serious trouble or resistance to the provisional govern- ment in any, part of Cuba. While Gov. Taft has _ not yet taken possession of the palace, this is only because ex-President Palma _ will rot be ready to vacate the official resi- dence until Monday and Mr. Taft de- sires to do whatever he can to suit the @x-President’s convenience. No disturbance of any kind occurred last night.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.—Damages of $10,000 at Fort St. Philip, located about Sixty miles below here on the Mississippi River, were reported today by incoming steamers. A portion of the levee erected to protect the fort against just such tides is reported to have bro- ken and allowed the magazines to flood. New quarters under process of erection were also reported swept away. Hourly the accounts of the magnitude of Thursday’s storin in Mississippi be- came more serious today as the inter- rupted telegraphic communication with that State was resumed in every direc- tion. Town after town in the interior wired here that bulldings had _ been blown down, lives endangered and crops blown flat in the fields. Simultaneously there arrived an enumeration of an almost unbroken line of wreckage of shipping on the gulf coast in direction of Mobile. However, all re-

ports of this situation ended abruptly ' ata point about fifty miles west of Mo- bile. In addition to the shipping washed ashore on the mainland, first reports came in today of vessels wrecked or stranded on the chain of isiands, out in the gulf, which form the Mississippi Sound. The littl news which arrived from the Mississippi River delta added to the property damage reported there, but although the lower end of the delta had been submerged as far as the eve could reach, and although steamers coming up the river reported that they passed floating household goods, no loss of life was reported. It may be sev- eral days before the details are learned about the fishing and oyster country in the low delta lands. which are isolated even from quarantine and pllot towns. the only places on the lower river hav- ing telegraphic communication with this city. — ee ee fee Public Hearing on White City.

The shipping facilities in Mobile are hampered for many months, as it is es- timated that the wharves and docking facilities were damaged more than 70 per cent, which will require months to repair. The loss of lives in Mobile is said to be a small percentage in comparison with the destruction to property. Ac- cording to the statements of St. Louis persons on the scene, the number of dead will not reach twenty-five in Mo- bile.

The storm is said to have been freak- ish and was not as bad as the hurricane that visited Mobile in 1898, when the wind blew at a rate of 72 miles an hour. The velocity of the wind 7 hursday was about fifty-five miles an hour, and was oO the southeast. "Chriat’s Episcopal Church, which stood the tide of the storm in 18938, was damaged by the hurricane Thursday. The top was blown off and it was other- wise damaged.

He gave a Post-Dispatch his experience and the result as saw it. The damage to Mobile cannot be vet told, as the water wes sweeping into the city when I left yesterday morning,” he said. “For four blocks north from the water front, the water stood four to six feet deep in business houses, and the damage to the con- tents will be great. The water had reached Roval street when I left Mo- bile. and was continuing to spread further into the city. The loss of life I am sure will not be great, as I only heard of four deaths. “T understand that one white man was drowned on the first floor of the Southern Hotel while trying to get out of the building. Three negroes were drowned while attempting to save livestock. A negro baby was killed by falling debris. I learned that probably ten or fifteen persons were killed o rdrowned when five boats on the bay front were wrecked and sunk. Most of the boat passen- gers were saved [I am told. “The pier of the Mobile & Ohio Rail- road is said to have blown to pieces. Christ's Episcopal Church was badly damaged by the storm. The Caw- thorn and Rienville hotels were dam- aged to a very great extent by the hurricane and water. The tops and sides of the buildings were blown oft and water soaked nearly every room in the houses, doing thousands of dollars’ damage to the furnishings. Panic resulted in the hotels, guests fleeing to various parts of the city for safety. reporter he Park Trees Uprooted. “RBienville Park was a mass of fallen trees, many of them being uprooted. The park was damaged to such an ex- tent that it looks like Lafayette Park did in St. Louis after the cyclone struck it 10 years ago. The hurricane extended all over the city, doing much damage. houses being unroofed and trees and outbuildings blown down, The rain came down in torrents and drenched everything uncovered. “Pensacola ia saia to have suffered as much. or even more, than Mobile, but we could get uo word from there before T left. Mobile, and did not learn the exact damage. “For 100 miles north of Mobile the storm did much damage, tearing off roofs and destroying cotfon and corn along the route. At Citronville, Ala., two houses were blown down and it is said that one or two persons were killed. Cotton and corn is said to have been damaged. Passengers Waded From Cars. “We had several passengers out of Mobile who had been in the hurricane at Montgomery, Ala., and they 8ay that the damage there is very large. The Pullman car that they were on was at- tached to a train on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad that was held near Montgomery for 18 hours. Everything was as dry at 6:30 a. m.. Thursday, at Montgomery, but two hours later the passengers on my train had to wade from the cars in water up to their arms, and some of them narrowly escaped drowning. “The damage to the South by the hur- rieane and tidal wave cannot be told yet, it is go great. The loss to the cotton growers will be several millions of dol- lars aside from the damage to the suger cane and corn crops.

On Deathbed, Annie Oetkin Tells Brother Where the Coins Were Kept.

MONEY PLACED WW BANK

Mystery of. Tobias Oetkin’s Fortune Is Solved After Many Years. The mystery of what became of To- bias Oetkin's hoard, which has been the subject of speculation and the object of search in the upper part of Madison County for ten years past, has been solved. ; Golden ‘treasure which he was be- lieved to have buried on the old Oetkin homestead, a mile north of Bethalto, Ill., has been found. Its -hiding place was revealed by Miss Annie Oecetkin, daughter of Tobias, on her deathbed. Five tin cans filled with shining $5, $10 and $20 gold pieces, aggregating $16,- 000, have been found in an old trunk in the garret of the homestead. Tobias Oetkin was spoken of as a miser. He always converted other money into gold, and was never known to part with any of his gold. When he died and it was found that he had not made any disposition of the gold, which was be- lieved to be a large amount, the con- clusion was reached that. he had buried it on the farm. At intervals ever since attempts have been made to unearth it. After the death of the old man his daughter Annie lived alone at the homestead. She was as ‘‘close”’ as her father had been. Her brothers were in g00d circumstances and lived accord- ingly, but she could not be induced to abandon her abstemiius mode of life. It was apparent that she received from the saie of produce and poultry products more than was | necessary for her frugal wants, but she took nobody into her confidence. When she was taken sick and was told that she could not live, she called her brother, Tobias Jr.. to her bedside, and told him that her father had told her on his deathbed where his money was hidden, in an old trunk in the garret, and had given it to her, She had found} $10,000 in gold added $eo0d in tin cans, and had to ft 1 had passed. n the ten years that The garret was searched and the money was found.

Dr. Cockrell, unable to determine the exact cause of death, had referred the case to the Coroner for a post mortem. Dr. J. C. Lebrecht, who held the au- ‘topsy, found that Anderson died of hy- dropericarditis, with tuberculosis con- tributing. The Coroner's verdict was to this effect. ‘Anderson has been frequenting th free clinics in St. Louis for years,” said Dr. Cockrell Saturday to a Post- Dispatch reporter. ‘“‘He had so compill- cated a list of symptoms, as he related them to the doctors, that none of them were able positively to diagnose his com- plaint. One thought the trouble was with his heart, another attributed it to his stomach, a third looked to his nerv- ous system for the cause. I myself thought when I saw him a short time before he died that he had uremic con- vulsions. “His room was stacked with patent medicines of all kinds. He had, besides laying his case before the doctors at the free clinics, written his symptoms to patent medicine makers in many ts of the country and had bought and taken their medicines. I was unable to say positively what ailment had caused the death and so I referred the case to the Coroner.”’ 7 FEARS TRIPLE SKIDOO.

Proprietor of Widely Known Restaurant to Be Buried Here.

INJURED FOUR YEARS AGO

Wound Received in Civil War Started Him in Successful Business, e. Anthony Edward Faust, founder of the well-known St. Louis ° restaurant bearing his name, wno died suddenly at his temporary home in Wiesbaden, Ger- many, as told in late editions of Fri- day’s Post-Dispatch, will be buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery, according to plans of his son, *“‘“Tony’’ Faust Jr. The news of Mr. Faust’s death, com- ing soon after the announcement of his purpose to return to St. Louis and re- open the old Faust home at 160 Mis- sourl avenue, was a shock to relatives and friends. ‘‘Tony’’ Faust Jr. received a cablegram at 4:30 p. m. Friday, giving the first news of Mr. Faust’s fatal ill- nese. A half hour later a second mes- sage told of his death. Death is supposed to have been caused by internal injuries, resulting from Mr. Faust’s leap from his carriage when the horses ran away in June, 1902, soon after he arrived in Germany. The ac- cident weakened his heart, and he has since traveled extensively in the hope of regaining his health. He was 71 years old. Mrs. Faust, his daughter, Miss Mollie Giennini, a granddaughter, Miss Vera Giannini, and members of the Busch family, to whom he is related by the marriage of his son to Miss Anna Louise Busch, were at his bedside. . Here Durtng World’s Fair. Mr. Faust has been abroad four years, excepting eight months during the World's Fair, when he resided in St. Louis. During this time, while not traveling. he has lived in Ger- many. He returned from a long tour of Southern France, Italy and Egypt with Mrs. Faust, his daughter and granddaughter several: months ago, and was compelled to spend a month during the summer at Wildugen, Ger- many, because of kidney trouble. He 4) at to Wiesbaden cured, it was said. Letters from Mr. Faust to membérs of his family in St. Louis told of his pleasant anticipation of his return to St. Louis, and said he and Adolphus Busch had engaged passage on the steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm, to sail Oct. 16 for home. Mr. Faust came to St. Louis when 17 years old. He worked as an orna- mental plasterer for some time, and would probably never have embarked in the business in which he achieved success had not a bullet wound in the leg compelled him to abandon his trade. He was shot when a soldier at Camp Jackson in 1861 by accidentally dropping his rifle and discharging it. « He then started a restaurant at Broadway and Russell avenue. In 1868 he established at Broadway and Elm street the restaurant whith has made “Tony” Faust’s name known throughout the country. He added a terrace, or roof garden, to his restau- rant in 1877. It is said to have been the first established in America. He also introduced the first electric light plant in St. Louls. Began in Old Frenchtown. Charlies Ehlermann, a well-known St. Louls business man, im conversation with a Post-Dispatch reporter Satur- day, recalled the early days when Tony Faust began his start in life as the pro- prietor of a saloon in Frenchtown. an historical neighborhood’ settlement of St. Louis that has now almost entirely passed out of existence. “My acquaintance with Tony dated from the early ‘60s,"’ said Mr. Eh- lermann. “He came to America some time before I did. When I arrived in St. .Louis from the old country about the first name I heard was Tony Faust. At that time he was running a small saloon on Franklin avenue. His place was the rendezvous of many young German-born citizens, many of whom have since become famous. “I remember one man especially who visited Tony's place, Abraham Anheu- ser, founder of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

Slarves Many Deople. A piece of bread that is dry, white and very light in weight seems te the thoughtful person like so much foam or other useless and non-nourishing product. If one rolls a piece of moist, light bread or the interior of a biscuit be- tween the fingers, a ball of dough is the result, with an appearance of solid- itv that makes oné question how the gastric juices of the stomach can dis- solve such a wad.

“The reporters were silent a moment and then Tony repeated the question. “If you will tell me,’ he said, ‘where you got that information perhaps I can furnish you with the details.’ “The newspaper men then divulged the source of the rumor. Instantly Tony’s face lit up with a smile. ‘I wish to confirm the story, my boys,’ he said. ‘It is true I am go.ng to buy a brewery, perhaps more than one.’ ‘But we want the details,’ insisted the reporters. “Oh, very well,’ said Tony in his fhlandest fashion, ust tell your readers I am buying the breweries a giass at a time.’ Told His Own Stories. “Tony Faust was the most genial and lovable of men. He always had a good story to tell. He never told any- body else’s story, but one of his own authorship. He was an original hu- morist. “He won everybody's friendship, and, in the 40 years I knew him, I! never heard him speak an unkind word of anybody. I often thought that if Tony Faust had run for Mayor he could easi- ly have been elected. | “But he was not a politician. He at- tended strictly to his business affairs.

George Meyer, a saloon keeper at 2601 South Broadway, was fined $10 and his bartender, Henry Yung, of 175 Sidney street was fined $25 in the City Hall Po- lice Court by Judge Tracy Saturday upon charges of disturbance of the peace preferred by George Vierheilig of 2605 South Broadway, who was himself a defendant in the same case on two like charges made by Meyer and Yung. Both charges against Vierheilig were dismissed. | The case grew out of a saloon quarrel which ended in a fight. The testimony showed that both Meyer and his bar- _ tender had sold drinks to Vierheilig when he was intoxicated. When imposing the fine Judge Tracy said: “Cases of this nature should be dealt with by the Excise Commissioner and when it is shown that liquor has been sold to an intoxicated man, that should be deemed sufficient reason for revoking a saloon license.” FROM ASYLUM TO JAIL. | Wn. Jennings Held on Charge of Slaying Fillman. William Jennings of East St. Louis, who fatally stabbed William Fillman at the National Stockyards two months ago, was brought from the Insane Asy- lum at Anna Saturday and arraigned before Justice Brady to answer to the charge of assault with intent to kill. The warrant was dismissed by Justice Brady and Jennings was rearrested on the charge of murder and was committed to Jail. @ After Jennings had stabbed Fillman at the stockyards he fled and was chas‘4d by cowboys from the yards on horse- back. Jennings escaped and wen: to the home of his brother at Mcé.eansboro, Il. A warrant was then issued against Jen- nings charging him with essault with intent to kill. Fillman was then living. He died later. Meantime Jennings had been released on a bond of $1000, signed by his brother. After returning to his brother's home, Jennings began to aet strangely and a jury decided he was in- sane and sent him to the Insane Asy- lum at Anna.

KNEW CAMPAIGN SECRETS | A Under Assumed Name Moved Among Well-Known Men While Fugitive, Eugene C. Bagwell, otherwise knawn as J. Brown, formerly a clerk in the offices of the Frisco Railroad in 8st. Louis, and more recently a confidential employe of Judge Alton B. Parker, is a prisoner in St. Vincent's Hospital, New York City, charged with bigamy. The charge on which the warrant for his arrest was issued was made in La- bette County, Kan., where he is alleged to have married Miss Byrd Ironsides, having at the Ume a wife living in Conway. Ark. Hundreds of letters were found in his room, written by numerous young wom- en. He was engaged to a young woman in Brooklyn, and another living on Staten Island makes claims on him. Bagwell jumped from a street car while being taken to prison, and was injured so that he had to be removed to the hospital. He may not recover. He was arrested while crouching te- hind his employer’s desk in a New York skyscraper. In the past three years Bagwell has been in the private councils of Demo cratic National Committee, and has had access to the sanctum of Tom Taggart, chairman of that committee. In his hands rested papers of national impor- tance. He knew the inwardness of the political game. All the time he worked for these great interests he bore an assumed name and was a fugitive from justice.

Father a Minister. Bagwell comes of excellent Southern stock. His father is Rev. John L. Bag- well, noWw living at Ardmore, I. T. -Eleven years ago, when Bagwell was 19, he married Miss Nenah Adams of Con- way County. Arkansas. They lived in apparent harmony until 1903. Then the wander-lust seized him, and he left home and wife. In January, 1903. he was in Vinita, I. T., engaged in the land business. He lived there until May. During his stay in Vinita he met Miss’ Byrd Ironsides. He courted her and finally married her at Parsons, Kan., early in November, 1903. They spent their honeymoon at Eureka Springs and there met Mrs. James Harrison of Maffitt avenue. The young married people and Mrs. Harrison’s daughters became quite friendly. In the same month Bagwell came to St. Louis and asked Mrs. Harrison if he and his wife could board at her home. Mrs. Harrison had no room in the house and sent them to the home of Stewart B. Muckenfuss, secretary of the National League Baseball team. The Muckenfusses have since moved to Dallas, Tex. Worked in Frisco Office. Durinz December, 1903, Bagwell worked in the office of L. F. Parker, general solicitor of the Frisco Sys- tem. He was an intelligent young man and has been spoken of as one of the best stenographers ever employed in the office. While he and his wife were living on Maffitt avenue, Robert Ironsides, his wife's father, wired for her to come home. He had learned that Bag- well had another wife, and insisted upon her leaving him. Bagwell defended his position by say- ing he thought he was divorced from his former wife when he married Byrd Ironsides, Finally, in December, his wife left him and returned to her father. A warrant charging bigamy was sworn out in Indian Terirtory by the father of the Arkansas wife. A green depty sheriff, to whom the papers were

intrusted here, went to the Frisco of- fices, and when he found Bagwell was out at lunch, told the clerks he had come to arrest Bagwell for bigamy and said he would be back again. Father-in-Law Paid. When Bagwell came in from lunc : was given the tip. He fled ace even taking his clothing from his house When he he owned Muckenfuss and Harrison. Hierison has since been paid by Mr. Ironsides; Muckenfuss was paid through an attomMey, after Which he gave up Bagwell’s wothing. | : Bagwell went § fro St. Princeton, Ind., and from there to Louisville. Several persons who knew him well learned that he had taken the name of J. J. Brown. Thev lost all trace of him early in 1904, about the time he became confidential man to Judge Parker. Louis to

After Bagwell left he sent a letter to Harrison, in which he attempted to ex- plain his entanglements. The letter had SHOT BY FRIEND - AFTER A QUARREL. OPNELIUS HATCH

evidently been written from aother city, and was remailed to Harrison through a St. Louis friend, as it bore a St. Louis postmark. In it he said: “I am taking advantage of the very first opportunity to write you In regard to my conduct in getting away without settling my account. When I explain all the circumstaces I feel you won't feel unkind to me. The trouble came about in this way: “Years ago, when I was a boy 18 years old, I foolishly and against my wil] and judgment—and through no fault of mine—married the woman who has caused the trouble. She has relatives who engineered the whole scheme, but, child as I was at that time, I could not see that they were putting up a job on me. Afterward, however, I saw it. ‘She erushed my bright prospects, and I hated her the more for it. Save up every prospect I had in Ar- kansas and went to Indian Territory, and she followed me there,,urged on by her. scheming relatives. We agreed to separate after a plain talk and she said she would procure a divorce. Heard He Had Divorce. “Time passed, and I was informed that proceedings had been instituted, and that in a certain term of court a decree would be rendered. After- ward I was informed that the decree was rendered. “All this o6ccurred before I ever met Byrd, or ever even heard of her. My information al] came from a good source, and there seemed to be no doubt about it. “But then I met Byrd, and loved her with all the ardor of my nature. The very first time I ever saw her in her home I told both her and her mother everything, and gave Mrs. Ironsides the names of persons she knew who could verify my statements, so that Byrd and her mother knew the whole matter in every detail “I courted Byrd openly. We went wherever and whenever we wanted vo £0 together. We married openly at her home. The papers all over Indian Ter- ritory reported the marriage, and there was no effort made to keep it secret. I met people from Arkansas and Indian Territory every day. I had done what 1 had a right to do, and was happy, as you know. “The day the officer came to the of- fice in St. Louis for me, Mr. Parker,

‘knowing he-was theré and what he was there for, sent for me and told me that e, of course, knew all about my ca- reer through a son living in Vinita. “I eame from one of the very best families in North Carolina, as Mr. Sam- uel B. McPheeters, my attorney, himself from North Carolina, can tell you.”’ Then follows an explanation about the money he owes the Harrisons. He explained his inability to pay it on ac- count of his hurried’ flight, but made promises to pay it soon. He never did pay it “IT was determined,’ he continued, “they should not disgrace me by ‘ar- resting me. Now I am advised the mat- ter has been dropped. “T am not at all bowed to the earth. I am heartii: sor- ry it all happened, of course, but the wanton cruelty of a woman cannot ruin me, and I shall yet triumph. “Think as kindly of me as you can, and I assure you that as soon as I can make the necessary arrangements, [ shall pay you all I owe you. Sincerely “EUGENE C. BAGWELL.” ‘‘He told me there was no doubt of my getting out of it all right, yet the thing to do right then was to get away so I would not be arrested and placed in Jail. He told me he would do. what- ever he could for me, but that I must avoid arrest, and get to work and have the whole matter straightened out. So 1 quietly left the office. “IT had no time to think, prepare for anything. It came like a flash of lightning, and I was stunned. They said I was charged with bigamy. Subsequent investigation developed tihe fact. unknown to me, that the other woman, when the decree. was granted divorcing us, had the matter held up in some way, and the decree, while it was rendered, was, at her instance, not made final at the time. She must have known I was to mar- ry Byrd, yet never breathed a word about having the decree held up until after my second marriage. L. F. Parker, when asked Saturday about the reference to him in the let- ter, said: ‘I did not advise him to flee from the officers. I did not know he was in trouble until after he had fled. I was then told he was wanted on a charge of bigamy. He was here two months and was a good stenographer.”’ Mr. McPheeters said: ‘‘Bagwell en- gaged me as attorney when he was here. His father sent on some money, which I forwarded just after he left. I heard nothing of him, except very soon after he left and did not know he had become allied with Alton B. Par- ker.

Hatch tried to disarm Harkins when he saw Harkins had come to kill him. They had moved a few steps when Har- kins fired four shots. After Hatch fell, Harkins aimed the revolver at him as he lay upon the floor and tried to shoot again. but the cartridge missed fire. Harkins ran out, threw the revolver away and went home. Policeman Ward arreeted him at the house. He was in- toxicated and admitted doing the shoot- shuffling noise ng.

Per- kins and Moore, the Commission’s traffic expert and engineer, embrace large additions to the team trackage facilities and warehouse capacity at cen- ters convenient to the business and manufacturing districts, It is understood that the plans of the Terminal Association in the main follow these rec- ommendations. The estimated cost of the better- ments will be about $6,000,000. There ought not to be any hesitation on the part of the railroads to supply this sum or a larger sum, if necessary, to equip their terminal system with adequate facilities and thus not only do away with the hampering delays and ob&tacles in the handling of the present traffic, but open the way to an in- crease of traffic. But in order that these additions and improve- ments may be utilized it will be necessary for the city to grant track privileges to the Terminal Rail- way Association, and this sharply revives the issue of monopoly which exists between the city and the association. The question naturally arises, shall new privileges be granted for the purpose of extending and strengthening a combination of railroads which possesses and uses monopoly terminal advantages to the detriment of St. Louis? Aithough the monop- Oly charges have been reduced and the terminal conditions incident thereto have been improved yet the monopoly power and a remnant of its arbitrary charges remain. A suit against the monopoly in- voking the Sherman anti-trust law is now pending 1 the United States Court. This issue can be eliminated so far as the people of St. Louis are concerned by the railroads in the combine. If they will treat the terminals grouped under the management of the ‘Terminal Railway Association as their common terminals, to be used as such, and, eliminating all monopoly charges, will give guarantees of fair conduct and fair chargés in the future on the basis of common, efficient termi- nal service and not on the basis of a monopoly, pub- lie confidence and generous co-operation will sup- plant public distrust and opposition. The common terminals of the St. Louis railroads are the cheap- est in the world and might be made the most effi- cient, If St. Louisans were assured that they would be used to the common advantage of the railroads and the people and not to the special advantage of the former and the disadvantage of the latter, no reasonable grant of privileges would be denied. Now is the time for the railroads to demonstrate their fair intentions and assure the co-operation of St. Louis,in the building up of the best possible ter- minal system. This policy would be far more profi- table than the policy of “squeeze” and “grab.” — The Sunday Post-Dispatch of Oct. 7 will contain the first installment of Gertrude Atherton’s great novel, entitled “Rezanoy.” Following chapters will be published on each Sunday thereafter, until the whole is complete.

A beginning has already been made in St. Louis along the lines recommended in these columns. An informal commission on insanity is employed to ex- amine prisoners who appear abnormal and report to the Criminal Court, It is noteworthy that in every case the jury has accepted the opinion df this quasi body of experts. thes : The gentlemen composing the commission yolun- r their services, and Dr. Scherck remarks: “It | without saying that this body serves without eg A legally constituted commission, however, which 7 s the end sought, is an organ of the State and of “ourse the members must not serve without pay. hey will perform an important duty and are sub- ject to every call from the courts, Such public ervants should be paid what their services are ft doped that bench and tar and the medica iesion w erent 1 Eromme the Gitalien. ment of a commission of experts which shall have legal standing.

Late intelligence goes to show that early reports fell short of the truth and that the loss of life and property is unprecedented on that coast. Pensacola seems to have suffered not less heavily. The distress of the two cities cries out for sympathy and help which should be promptly offered. While there is no reason to believe that the ton several years ago, the plight of Mobile and Pensacola appeals to every sympathetic heart. ooo THE REGULATING COMMISSION PLAN The platform adopted ty the New York State Re- nominated Charles FE. the following publian Convention, which Hughes by aeclamation, contains clause: “We approve the legislation granting a sub- stantial reduction in the price of gas to the peo- ple of New York City and providing for a com- mission to prevent the over-capitalization and excessive charges of public lighting corporations, and we favor the extension of this policy to the regulation of all public utility corporations.” The idea of the public utility regulating commis- sion which Gov, Folk suggested for Missouri is marching on. It offers a plan to regulate charges and rates for public services and to take the plunder out of the capitalization of public utility corporations in municipalities without the necessity of resorting to the doubtful and difficult experiment of municipal ownership and its possibilities for the strengthening of political bossism. The reduction of the price of gas in New York City through the legislation re-. ferred to is now in the courts for final decision. : ooo the business part of St. electric current to ring a bell, as experts have proved, it is evident that the waste electric current in and under St. Louis is enormous. An amazing plan for utilizing this waste power is explained in the coming Sunday Post- Dispatch. It is a plan proposed by electrical experts of the first rank, and reads like a fairy tale of science. Even Faraday or Franklin would not have dared to predict the development in electricity that this St. Louis proposition, based upon experiments that appear conclusive, promises. Tesla and other inventors have proposed to tap the earth's magnetic and electric forces. Up to this time their ideas have been looked upon as impracticable. St. Louis may be the first to show the world the way to this new source of power. ooo TAFT AS A “DIPLOMAT,” As a colonial Governor-General, outside the Con- stitution and the laws of the United States, Secre- tary of War Taft was more diplomatic at least in his choice of words than Gen. “Jake” Smith. Al- though he asserted authority to “kill and burn” as a means of pacification, he did not use Gen. Smith’s monosyllables. To this extent he came back from the Philippines diplowacy he is now in and permanently in with a reputation for danger of losing completely “pacifving’ Cuba. Since his arrival in the island, against the Cubans Cen. we have had daily the same menace Smith so clearly defined to the understanding of the Phil- ippines in his words of one syllable. The Cubans of all factions have been made to understand that the presence of the Secretary in the island means the threat of overwelcoming force against them. They differ from the Filipinos in not _ being addicted to’ words of one in diplomacy. They have inherited the Castilian talent for con- struing documents, including such documents as the Platt amendment and the Constitution, treaties and statutes of the United States. They know that in none of these tary of War of the United States given a shadow of authority to establish at home or in Cuba a revolutionary government under guise of a con- mission, a provisional military government or under any other guise.

The Platt amendment authorizes this country to do in the island, but nothing more than an opportunity for police duty police duty. As a volunteer policeman and as.a_ professional diplomat, Secretary Taft is allowing himself to be placed before the world openly in the attitude towards the Cubans he assumed towards the Fili- pinos. He is met by Cuban diplomatic skill which is forcing hig to define himself as transgressing the now limits of law. : The first lesson he has to learn in dealing with Cuban lawlessness is that the Platt amendment does not authorize his own or prevent the Constitution and laws of the United States from following the flag. a erate ee It is EP tha!

To the Fditoc, of the Post-Digpatch. Your timely and comprehensive edi- torial on the ‘“‘Awakening of the Water- ways” serves to justify the claim of the Post-Dispatch to be ‘First in Every- thing’ that affects the people’s inter- ests. St. Louis has too long neg- lected, in fact, ignored, the splendid ad- vantages afforded by her unrivaled po- sition as the great central mart of the Mississippi Valley. Our business men seem to have forgotten that they could largely increase their trade w#with the Southern, Southeastern and Southwest- ern states by aiding the establishment of lines of modern steamers: to ply be- tween St. Louis and the intermediate large cities to New Orleans and beyond the gulf. There has not been a line of steamers between St. Louis and the Crescent City for many years. The re- sult of this want of through water transportation has cost St. Louis mil- lions in railway freight charges and more millions in loss of trade. It is now pretty clearly demonstrated that (cean-going steamers of profitable size can be bullt to navigate the Mississippi to St. Louis during eight or nine mouths of the year with the water we now have tn the river. With a line of such vessels, St. Louis could success- fully compete for the gulf trade and secure a commanding position in Latin gulf ship canal can be bullt. The opening of the interoceanic railway across the Tehu- antepec Isthnrus, in Mexico, affords a golden oportunity to secure a large share of this trade, and also send sup- plie# to the Panama Canal.

If our friends think there is such a tremendous profit in renting houses, why don't they get into active competition, and either organize a com- pany or invest and realize that 15 and 20 per cent profit. Or. better yet, go in the West End on Lindell, Pine, McPher- sou, Olive and other streets that have been mentioned in comparison with rents in other cities, buy a piece of va- cant, worth anywhere from 20 to 50 per cent higher than it was Say six years azo for this Is a fact, and every good citizen should be proud of it), then get a first-class contractor or architect to build a modern house, with first-class material throughout, and ‘all modern building restrictions obeyed, and he will find this will run from 15 to 20 per cent increase in material and labor (and ja- bor and everyone should be glad of this).

He’s a breezy young Texan of means, the son of a cattle king, with a wide knowledge of horses and ranch life and a limited social experience, also quite deter- mined in his wooing—but not at all on that ‘cheeky’ order which would justify his being called ‘brazen.’ In fact, he deserves the title no more than does the fiction hero of whom he's a sort of copy—Owen Wister’s ‘Virginian.’ ”’ “T quite agree with you,’’ broke in The Girl. “I like Mr. Richard Williams very much indeed, and I think that description of how he saved Harriet Ren- wyck's life when she became entangled in the ‘mill’ of stampeding cattle is just fine, and I approve of his looking her up in New York when he went there to further his father’s big battle with her multi-millionaire father, but I should never dream of cajling him shameless or brazen or anything of that sort."’ “Well,” said the former Congreseman, “he had his nerve with him in suf- ficient quantities at critical moments—both with ordinary cattle and that other ‘kittle cattle’ known as women—so I suppose this is what led his authors to designate him as they did. I enjoyed the story of which he's the hero—it’s full of color and action and good comedy.” “I’m a trifle tired of Cyrus Townsend Brady,” confessed the Old Playgoer, ‘but this young fellow associated with him in the writing of ‘Richard the Brazen'—Edwin Peple—is well worth while. T saw his play. “The Prince Chap,’ last season and relished it immensely for clear-cut, delicate, effective stage writing, and I'm looking forward to seeing his new play, ‘The Tove Route,’ at the Garrick next week with much pleasure. He ought to write a good novel —and he seems to have done it in the one we're now talking about.’ “The trail of the playwright is on the book, however,” complained the Artist. “It would be all right, in a farce comedy or musical play, for Dick Williams to masquerade as Lord Croyland tn New York society, but asking us to believe in such a masquerade in what is presumably a story of real life of today is almost too much. I never could quite regard young Williams seriously while he was twirling his monocle and doing his imitation - English vaudeville stunt out at the Renwyck’s country place.” “Nor I! laughed the Kindergarten Director. ‘Such a situation is simply impossible in real life, so why use it in a novel? Of course, it’s funny, but along purely farcical lines, and weap farce and fictional literature are two vastiy different things.’’ “His being there with the den diveks gave opportunity for scenes, though,” said the Literary Grain Broker. ‘That was a smashing good chapter where he rode and conquered that terrible man-killer of a horse be- longing to old "Renwyck’'s stables!’’ “And how like its original in ‘Richard Carvel!’’’ mocked the former Con- gressman. ‘“‘Don't you remember, where young Carvel, over in England, rides and conquers on a Wéiger a similar horse belonging to Lord What’s-his- name, I kept thinking of Winston Churchill's first big hit all the time I was reading that chapter.”’ “Oh, come, come!" protested the Old Playgoer. ‘‘How often must I remind you people that there are no longer any new plots or new incidents or new situations under the sun?—we're simply compelled to keep on working the old ones over and over again. Give novelists and playwrights a chance to earn their daily bread without holding them to account for what ‘is really tbeir misfortune instead of their fault.”’ “I'm not surprised to hear you standing up for the story,’ retorted the High School Teacher. ‘‘You're a melodrama fiend, you know—and that introduction of the midnight burglars into the Renwyck home and their stealing of the Renwyck diamonds and the fixing of suspicion on Dick Williams is rank melo- drama.” “It's nothing of the sort!’ chuckled the Old Playgoer. “It's genuine farce- comedythe dark room, with several doors opening into it—the burglars coming in the windows—the two girls entering by one door—Dick Williams by another— and old Renwyck popping up at the head of the stairs—and everybody in a terrible muddle and mix-up! Great Scott, I've seen that situation in more farces than I can count!”’ “Anyway, it's a sprightly little story,’ said The Girl, heroine, Harriet Renwyck, is very sweet and charming. It was perfectly natur- al, the way she fell in love with Dick Williams at first sight because he saved her so splendidly from the herd of wild cattle-—and the only reason she cared at all for the supposed Lord Croyland was because he reminded her of Dick. Then, too, the finish of the story was just too lovely—old Renwyck’s sudden discovery that it was Dick Williams who had saved his daughter's life down in Texas, the consequent ending of the feud between him and old Mr. Williams, and the sudden and happy culmipation of Dick's and Harriet’s romance—it was lovely !”’ a “and I think its “But we've seen it all before,’ ‘many a time!’’ objected the High School Teacher; “Of course,” agreed the Old Playgoecr. ‘‘And you'll see it all again, many a time—and if you don't like it, you’ve got to quit reading novels or going to the play. That's the only alternative.”’ Pine FASS,” The name of Edward Stewart White stands for the outdoors, the silent places, the mountains, the great forests and the wilds which many of our souls traverse while we, perforce, remain at home. His appeal to lovers of the sort of thing he loves is such that he can satisfy his following with a mere story of travel in some picturesque corner of the world, telling what he saw, what they did and how they did it. He has written some rattling good stories, notably “The Blazed Trail,"" and ‘The Silent Places,”’ but ‘“‘The Mountaing”’ was another sort of book, and so is ‘“‘The Pass,"’ which the Outing Publish- ing Co. of New York has just printed. It recounts a glorious trip through the mountains of California, and is illustrated with Mr. White's own photo- graphs. / , “THE FIGHTING CHANCE.” Tf Robert Chambers hoped with “The Fighting Chance’ to give the idle rich a deserved or undeserved notoriety that is unholy enough to reconcile the most of his readers to poverty, he succeeded admirably. If he hoped to add anything to his prestige as a writer by writing such a story, he has failed. It is a smart book, but wine drips from its leaves, and the malodor of rotten morais offends the reader’s nose. The mood in which one reads it is a gambler’s mood -everish and excited. The picture remaining in the mind's eye is not the fair Sy1- via Landis, who walked where women with a less liberal code of virtue fear to tread, but the bloated face of the detestable Mortimer, who fouls the whole some good.

They are the work of Frederick Ober, whose work upon this series has been much commended. A. B. Barnes & Co. of New York are continuing the publication of books in ‘The Trail Makers” series, and have recently issued two volumes upon “The Voyages of Champlain.’””’ They were written by Edward Gaylord Bourse, professor of history at Yale.

JAPANESE CHILDHOOD. Now that Japanese writers have begun to write in English, readers, we shall learn a great deal about Nippon and its people. Shioya, an educated Japanese, tells us in “When I Was a Boy in Japan, great deal about his own childhood. His narrative is in excellent English, so simply and cheerfully told, that it will prove interesting to children every- where. Of course, Intelligent adults will read such a book with interest, be- cause an understanding of the Japanese child must help greatly to an under- standing of the men and women of Japan. In many things the life of the Japanese boy is like that of the American boy. Wonder stories, toys, games, even feasting on watermelons, are not unlike our own childhood pleasures. But there is a revelation of precocity which is not familiar, but which we are not surprised to find. Sakae Shioya was sent to school at the age of six. Instead of waiting for the teacher to begin his edu- cation, the young Japanese insisted on beginning it at home, so that he would be something of a scholar upon entering school. He studied for weeks pre- vidus, learning the numerals, the 48 letters of the Japanese alphabet, and prac- ticing entering school in a dignified manner. All this on his own initiative. It is a revelation of character which helps to explain the extraordinary ad- vancement of this people in all intellectual fields. The book is illustrated from photographs, with a portrait of the author for frontispiece. (Boston, Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co.) THE GLORY OF COURAGE Ralph D. Paine, in ‘“‘The Praying Skipper and other stories,’ glory of human courage, manifested in the face of utmost tragedy. these stories has for hero a human being who does something admirable in a simple, natural manner, facing defeat or death for others without hope of reward, impelled by the inherent greatness of soul which finds in Peril its opportunity. The praying skipper saveg his ship, in spite of his age, weakness and the distrust of his passengers, WDo cannot believe that a religious captain can be a manly and capable officer. But Mr. Paine evidently does not believe {n mere prayer, without that action Which is the duty of the moment. Capt. Arendt, the hero of another story, unCeéremoniously breaks up the prayer of- fered while the ship is sinking by a féar-sick wretch whose supplications in- terfere with the duty of saving life. The hero of one of these stories is a Chinese boy, who does his best to‘save the life of an American deserter in China. One of the best of the stories turns upon the failure of a young man to qualify for the final work in a boat race between Yale and Harvard. It is a capital story, proving that unselfish devotion may turn apparent defeat into victory for the individual whose character is so well in hand that he loses sight of personal advantage for the good of the cause he has at heart. (New York: The Outing Publishing Co.) PHILOSOPHY OF GOOD CHEER. Orison Swett Marden, editor of “Success Magazine,’ is one of the most thorough-guing of our modern optimists. His new book, ‘‘Every Man a King,” is intended to prove the mastery of the mind over the body and over environ- ment, and the wisdom of self-faith 4Nd cheerful thinking. Like other New Thought teachers, Mr. Marden wastes no time on the psy- chological problem of free-will, but asSumes that every individual has the pow- er of choice, or of “steering thought,” as he puts it. He would eliminate the word ‘‘can’t,’’ and insist that al] moods can be mastered, all undesir- able emotions destroyed, deficient faculties strengthened, and utmost self-con- fidence attained. In one of his chapters Mr. Marden makes an admission which is suggestive, namely, that it is very difficult for the scholar to maintain this optimistic, affirmative thought-condition, He says jie has seen young men enter college ‘with unbounded confidence in what they could accomplish, with strong pow- ers of self-assertion, who have been graduated with those qualities almost elininated. They have been replaced by the gradual development of timidity, and a shrinking from positive statement of fact which seriously crippled the men’s executive faculties.”’ As a man learns more of life, he Sees both sides of most questions. This makes him cautious, and the cautious man is not a blatant optimist. He knows, for example, that optimistic assertion cannot make the black skin white nor even increase the power of hearing Or vision. Some are born with physical or mental deficiencies which all the volumes that could be filled with New Thought could not remove, Admitting this, however, for American Sakae 7. and exhibits the Kach of the optimistic, self-confident man has an advan- tage net to be overestimated. If you are simply discouraged, read Marden’s book. It will act as a powerful mental] tonic. (New York: Thomas Y. Crows ell & Co.)

Skirts are becoming much more se- vere than those of last year; the full- ness does not hang toward the front. but is decidedly more toward the sides and back, while just around the hips there is no fullness at all; and yet un- der no circumstances must the skirts be strained back too tightly.

i ad Just How the Sox, Yankees and Blues Are Faring and Will Fare in Their Heart-Breaking Fight for the Championship of the American League. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—The sudden and) complete reversal of the American League situation has had few parallels, and it all goes to show the wondrous intricacies and uncertainties of the only game. Sunday night Clark Griffith looked like Robert Mantell in ‘‘Mon- bars.” Today he looks like the straw man in “The Gizzard of Was."" New York, hitting hard, fielding fast, march- ing to victory, massacred the Sox three out of four, took the lead away and departed with the pennant seemingly safely gathered. They went to Detroit to win three more with ease, leaving 4 crushed and shattered bunch behind them. | And then came the blowoff. And then came one of the most remarkable series ever played in the American League. The Detroits, supposed to be far infe- rior to the Sox, rose up and made a front against New York such as the Sox hadn’t even tried to show. Three times they met the Highlanders, and three times they mowed the pride of Griffith down. When the last man went out last night an utterly crushed pro- cession hit the trail for Cleveland— where they are going to get some more of the same kind. Talk about form reversals and #ur- prises! When New York left here Sun- day night it was easily a 100 to 1 shot against Detroit's winning even two in three, and it was 1900 to 1 that Chicag) wouldn't be on top again by Wednes- day evening. P ss Now York wil! have to take an aw u spurt to get the lead again and the 5ox at the same time will have to slump. Next week the Yanks will have it a bit easier than the Sox, for they will aga ton and Philadelphia in the East, eile the South Siders will sae battle the Cleveland nine and the fe * St. Louis men, a a closing single . with Detroit. at the greater part of the fear is now vanished. Chicago is billed for —_ pennants and not a single fan in oe city can now be convinced that one 6 them is going to fail. It is the —. esi seasoy Chicago has ever had — baseball was begun here, back in Mae times when Capt. Anson was 4 y. Every one is neglecting his bus ness now to go to the game and if he can not leave his office he is hanging ov* j a ticker or a telephone to learn the re sult of each inning of the game. | i Just what will happen when the Cu ¥ and Sox come together for the gone seuson games to decide which team Ww! be the champion nine of the world is hard to predict.

There will be one grieved town when that series fs on and it wiil be dear old Gotham. Think of the New York Giants and Clark Griffith's Yankees walking up Broadway and thinking what might have been. It is possible that*they will de- cide to play a series for the champion- ship of Greater New York and also for a ifttle spending money that would nat- urally float into the pockets of the play- ers in such a series. But it will be tame sport to what will be happening in Chi- cago g°. e Sox have 19 games yet to play. ities two are with Washington. four with St. Louis, three with Cleveland and one with Detroit. How many of them ill the Sox win? It is hard to see how they are going to drop any to Jake Stanl's men, although they have done guch things before. Suppose they win three, however, and then go down to St. Louis Sunday for four games in three Gays, Monday, Tuesday and two on Wednesday. Give them an even split there if you like. Then bring them home to mect Cleveland in three. Suppose they take two out of the trio and then eapture the final ame from Detroit. According to this dope they _will win eight out of the 11 games. New York will probably be fable ta play but nine mes more. If the Yahks should win of these nine games and the Sox lose the Yanks would win 2 points. ga all the threé above, the pennant by Yankees Have Slight Chance. will the Yanks win nine games? =a they drop one and the Sox do what has been doped. Then the Sox will have the pennant. However, the Yanks are likely to Jose more than one game out of their nine remaining games and it is quite possible that the Sox will lose me than three out of eleven.

The Sox are tne strong favorites all over the country and wit. such nerve and ability as Jones has on his team, it is going to take an awful power to get tnem out of first place before the season closes, a week irom Sunday. No Fear of Highlanders. Fear of the New York Highlanders 1s growing leas and less as the days 89 by, while Clevelands stock is rising sicudily.

In Cleveland's even dozen of games with the East the Naps have scored a total of 61 runs and registered 126 base hits, while their opponents 21+ > aga only 25 tallies and 84 base ts. Chicago, against three Eastern teams, has run up 35 runs and made 64 safe hits, while the opponents of the White Stockings have pushed 23 runs over the counting station and have hit safely 71 times, getting more base hits than the South Siders. Cleveland, in third place, Is only four games behind Comiskey’s men, and two games behind the New York Highlanders, who open in Cleveland this afternoon. That series will prob- ably settle the chances of one or the other of those clubs. Two games remain to be played be- tween the Naps and Highlanders, but it is not likely that more than one will be played. because the other was postponed in New York and the con- Sent of three-fourths of the League must be secured'to transfer it. Neither club, probably, is very anxious to ask for the transfer. With that game eliminated these three battling clubs will be on even terms. Figuring on possibilities, not probabili- ties by any means, should New York Win every one of its remaining games the White Stockings must win seven of their ten to carry off the flag. On the other hand, should Cleveland be destined to make the final fight with Comsikey’s men for the bunting and take four straight from the Gothamites. the South Siders would need to win only six of their ten, even though that game with New York is transferred. Chicago hopes tu increase its ‘ead in the race right here, for, with \‘. ashing- ton as opponents, the South Siders look for nothing less than a clean sweep. When here in Chicago the Senators have been pretty easy picking this year, but when on their own grounds Stahl's men have been “‘tartars’’ and have dealt harshly with Comiskey's pennant chasers. It was the lowly Senators who broke thai great winning streak of 19 Straight games. Fear the Ravens. After this series with Washington is over the White Stockings will be up against the hardest kind of a proposi- tion, for they leave here Sunday night for four games with St. Louis in the Mound City, a- double-header being scheduled down there Wedrpsday. The Ravens are ‘‘going some”’ these days and may give the South Siders no end of trouble. When Jones comes home Thursday he will be up against the Cleveland team for three games. There again will be a big battle, and those games will rival the recent New York series, in ali prob- ability, in local interest. The final struggle of the season will be with the Detroit Tigers, who were g00d enough to beat the Highlanders three straight and make possible Chi- cago’s present lead of two games. It's going to be a strenuous finish for the White Steckings, but every man is full of confidence and believes the team roreordained to win the flag and mee. the Cubs in the world’s championship series, Stahl] Likes Blues, “Chick” Stahl, niaanager of the Boston club, which finished its season with the White Stockings, says he can’t see New York in the flag race, but that, to his mind, it’s all Chicago and Cleveland. “That ‘dark horse’ looks pretty good to me,” said Stahl yesterday, “and | believe Lajoie's team is going to give the White Stockings such a rub for the flag as they have not dreamed of. La- joie’s men are playing the greatest ball in the League right now, hitting, field- ing, baserunning and pitching all com- bined, and it takes some great work to beat them. I look to see the Naps step to the front, or mighty close to it, when they meet the South Siders here next week. That ought to be a great series.”

A game between a big Eastern and Western eleven has been wished for by followers of the sport for some time, as it will give a line on the comparative strength of the big Eastern and Western college elevens which has been a much-discussed ques tion for years, As to the form of the elevens or the probable strength, little can be told un- til after Wednesday's, or’ really, Satur- day's, games. A college may have a ponderous eleven composed of giants, but lack of speed may make the team a pour one under the new rules. Also. the master hand of the coaches in plan- ning out an offensive and defensive is going to court for considerable, so that it is practically useless to try to fore- cust the comparative strength of the big elevens for a couple of weeks at- least.

The Fighting Richard Demon- strates That. the California _ Featherweight Is Not at All in His Class. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.—In the first fight of any consequence decided in Friscuy since the earthquake and fire, Fighting Dick Hyland defeated Eddie Hanlon Friday night. Hanlon, a local boy, was the favorite to win, but Eddie showed that he is no longer the fighter that gave Battling Nelson Such a hard fight and also held his own with Young Corbett, Willie Fitzgerald, Aurelio Herrera, Benny Yanger and other topnotchers., Hanlon lacked speed and cleverness. Then, too, in Hyland he met a young, Strong, rugged. slashing fighter with a terrific punch, who has been com- ing right to the front of late. Hyland waded right in from the start to fin- ish. Hanlon tried to keep away from Iiyland, but was unable to do so. His punches seemed to lack the steam necessary to keep the Denver boy away. In the third round Hanlon was al- most knocked out. but gamely came back and took. his medicine. After receiving a severe beating, and when Hanlon was almost helpless, Referee Jack Welsh stopped the contest in the thirteenth round and gave the de- cision to Hyland. There is now talk of matching Hyland with either Britt or Battling Nelson. If he can put up the same style of fight he-did against either that he did Friday night, he has more than a chance.

BRAITON DIFFERS WITH SHOW JUDGES!

From the St. Joseph Gazette. John 8S. Bratton of St. Louis in a live- ly controversy at the horse show last night, ordered Dr. M. W. Steiner, vice- president of the association, to withdraw his entries and declared he would take all his horses home. He refused to show in the first two events, but later recon- sidered his determination and entered the four-in-hand class. Crow and Mur- ray, who also had horses entered in the first event of the evening, refused to come into the ring until the difficulties could be settled. As a result only two horses entered in the first event at the horse show last night. The quarrel between’ Bratton and James Murray on the one side and the management of the show on the other began early in the evening. The disagreement waxed bitter when the ladies’ saddle horses appeared as the next event. Mrs. Bratton was scheduled to ride one of Bratton’s horses. She refused to come in because Mrs. J. H. Parker Jr. was riding Glendale, a horse a La » rr oO East St. Louis Horseman Enters Into Very Lively Controversy With Officials at St. Joseph—Mrs. Bratton Refuses to Ride in Ladies’ Saddle Class. that had been loaned by George Pepper aS a substitute for Stadow, the one she had entered. _At this juncture Mr. Bratton strode into the ring and addressed Dr. Steiner. “IT was at the gate just on the minute and my horse was shut out,’ he de- clared. ‘‘I am entitled to show in this class and I demand that I be admitted. This class Was started ahead of the time scheduled and |L was on time.”’ “You were not here, but you can bring your-horses in if you wish, They wi. not be considered by the judges, though,” answered Dr. Steiner. “This is an outrage,’’ shouted Bratton. ‘Withdraw all my entries and I will go home. You may be all right in a dent- ist’s office, but you ought not to try to run a horse show,’ was his parting shot. Later he came back and reconsidered his order for the withdrawal. Presently it was announced that Glen- dale, ridden by Mrs. Parker, had gone lame on entering the ring and could not be judged among the saddlers, Bratton was partly pacified after this. It will be remembered that Mr. Bratton had a somewhat. similiar © controversy with the officials of the St. Louts Horse Stiow Society last vear. He wil! not be among the exhibitors at the St. Louis show this season.

AONAUT ESCAPES DEATH ON TRACK Nearly Falls in Air and Descends hy Side of Speed- ing Train.

Special to the Post-Dispatch TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 29.—Twice, in daring balloon ascensions, Vincent Morris, an aeronaut of Woodmont, |! Conn., faced death. The crowd was) thoroughly thrilled. When the aero-| naut was ready to cut loose from the, balloon high tn the air, the parachute: failed to work properly, turned up-} side down. .and opened. It looked as | though Morris wus in fearful peril. | His feat is to descend in three eer | !

chutes, one opening inside the other. The aeronaut abandoned the _ up- turned parachute, and by letting out the gas in the balloon, which had gone up until it was a mere speck in the sky, lowered himself nearer to the earth and came down calmly in the second parachute. As he was slowly dropping the roar and rumble of an approaching train was heard. Then, to the crowd's hor- | ror, it was seen that Morris was de- scending in the train’s path. By a frantic manipulation of the parachute he managed to guide it alongside the track, but the suction of the Pennsyl- vania fiver dragwed it in and tore uway a part of the parachute. Morris just escaped death, Western Texas, “The Land of Opportunities.” Write E. p. Turner, G. P. A., T. & P. Railway, Dallas, Tex., for descriptive lterature.

Chicagoan Has $100 to Wager That Many Things Dane’s Manager Said Cannot Be Proved, Special to the Post-Dispatch, CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—Stung by repeat- ed criticisms of Billy Nolan, George Si- ler, who refereed the Nelson-Gans fight, issued the following sta.ement iast night: in San Francisco the pictures are advertised: see ‘Batling Buti Gans, Neison., the Fuui, etc. Nolan is advertising the pic.uies at my expense. ‘that is a bit vt ciever busi- ness, so 1 will iet it go at that. re makes, however, false statements, and to show that he is 1 am compelied to ask him to make guod. 1 will make the fohowing bets: When he arrived in town he posed for a piciure showing that my back -was turned to Gans when the foul blow was delivered. I will bet him $100 that it Was not. He and Nelson stated the blow for which he was disqualified landed on the liver and that Nelson jumped back im- mediately after the blow was delivered. One hundred dollars that he did not. Nolan stated I repeatedly separated the men. One hundred dollars I did not, and that I did not separate them at any time during the fight. Nolan states that one clause in the articles of agreement reads: ‘The ref- eree is not permitted to place his hands on either of the contestants. One hun- dred dollars the original articles do not so read. : Nolan says I repeatedly pulled Nel- son’s hair. One hundred dollars that I did not. He says he jumped into the ring and pleaded with me to get a doctor; also that he requested me to get a doctor before I had rendered a decision. One hundred dollars on each proposition. He says after the ninth round the ting wy rn BS ge me gg favor. i ‘ed dillars it not. rye 1 did not render a decisidh until 50 seconds after the foul blow was delivered. One hundred dollars he is wrong. I wil bet $100 I can convince expert a jury of press rep- hotographers and regentatives that I saw the foul blow ee art sha sali of these s ; ai I request is a private view of the pictures before representative newspa- per men and expert photographers, with the proviso that the pictures are run off slowly to be stopped at any time the jury demands for explanation. I will meet Nolan at the Saratoga Ho- tel at 1 p. m. today and post my money, Test to take place at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. As to the expert testimony of the five reputable local referees, who stated that Gans vomited in the fifteenth and in the forty-first rounds, $100 that he did not. I am willing to bet on my memory of what happened against Nolan's memory and his constant view of the pictures. Regarding the foul blow and the justice of my decision, will say at least 100 of the best pugilistic writers in the country chronicled the fight and fully 7500 persons saw it, and of these Nolan and Nelson are the only persons who say I was wrong. If Nolan does not accept all of these bets, the contro- versy, so far as I am concerned, is end- ed. ; IT WAS A SIN HOW THEY CLOUTED HIM Giants Make Six Hits and Score Six Runs Off Beebe in the Seventh Inning, NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Pitcher Beebe o: the Cardinals suffered a temporary attack of nervousness in the seventh inning of the game ogainst New York Fiiday, and before he had _ steadied down Mr. McGraw's men had scored six runs, which gave to them the game. 8 tu 2.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—Yost, crestfalien, bearish and chief kicker on the new football rules, may smile again his fa- mous “hurry-up’’ smile, so conspicuous last year, if for a few days only.

BIG BETTING Oh TROLLEY FINISH Followers of White Seals and Wagners Willing to Wager Heavily on Their Favorites in Sunday’s Games. Tiere is a great deal of interest be- ing manifested and quite an amount of money wugered on the result of the trolley League game between the Wuite Seals and Wagners to be played at Granite City, Ui., Sunday afternoon. rhe Wagners team has won 14 games Without a defeat and are at present leading the league by one game, with the Millers second. There are but two more sc uled games for each team to play, so that if the Wagners win Suuday, the best the Millers can do Is to tie for the pennant; and if the MH- lers luse and the Wagners win, the lat- ter team: gains the pennant. jienry Kulage, manager of the White Seals, and his friends have spared no expense to defeat the Wagners Sunday. Kulage has gathered practically the Suine team that won eight games atraigut in the earlier part of the sea- sou. Gus Heiting, who has been draft- ed by St. Paul, for next season, will play second base. Maddox and Bartliff, who have been playing regular league baii since leaving the White Seals, will be back in the outfield with Cudmore. Kulage has also captured a new pitcher for the game. sit any rate, Kulage and his friends are going to Granite City Igqaded for bear. The Granite City men, after see- ing their team win 14 games, have an ideu that the club is about the equal of auy playing baseball and they will ac- cept all the wagers Kulage and the 8t. Luulsans wish to make. If the Wag- hers lose, there is likely to be a grand wail because the Seals were especially strengthened fur the game. If Granite City wins—well, Kulage, the players aud a big crowd of §8t. Louisans will have to swim the Mississippi River to get home, as it Is doubtful if they will have bridge or ferry fare left. Dispute Over Race. The Canadian 100-yard championsbip resulted in another finish mix-up this year. It will be remembered that it was in this race last year that Seitz the New York A. C. sprinter, was robbed of a decision over Morton, the English champion. This year the dis- ute was between two New York ath- etes, Young and Robertson, both of the Irish-American A. C. The judges called it a dead heat, whereas all the spectators and a large part of the of- ficials said that Robertson won by at least a foot. James E. Sullivan of the A. A. U. was right at the tape and says Robertson breasted the worsted a foot ahead. The most charitable way to look at the repeated misplacings in Montreal is to consider that the Cana- dians have only one big meet a year

i Mad Norfolk & Watlies Makes New High Record at 97—Great In- terest Felt in Railway Circles in St. Paul Meeting Being Held Today at Milwaukee. Special tu the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Despite the general low openthg and trend of the early hours, the close of the market Saturday was better. In the West Mis- sguri Pacific and Rock Island both re- covered a point and the Harriman Pa- cifies lost but fractionally under their opening. In the coalers Norfolk & West- ern made a new high record over 95% reached a few weeks ago. The close of Norfolk & Western Saturday was 97, a clear gain of 1% points over the opening and a guin of 1% points over any previ- ous higher: record of the road. Reading gained over three points over its opening and Pennsylvania 1 point high at the close. B. & O. scored a gain of 1% points. Canadian Pacific maintained its high price, gaining 1% on the day. Great interest centereé about St. Paul today on account of the annual meeting being held in Milwaukee. Reports have been persistent that some important news as to St. Paul, Pacific Coast ex- tension plans will come from the meet- ing. Evidence that the meeting is an im- portant one lies in the fact that Chair- man Roswell Miller of the St. Paul board is present, along with William Rockefeller and Samuel Spencer, presi- dent of the Morgan roads in the South. There was osme talk foreshadowing an alliance between the Morgan roads at Chicago with St. Paul, including Erie, to act as the Atlantic seaboard connection for St. Paul now and after St. Paul is built to the Pacific Coast. However, Mr. Spencer has been a di- rector in St. Paul many years and his presence at the meeting may not fore- shadow any such an alliance. 29.—Saturday'’s opening points clos- the NEW YORK.

They are constructed, with a view t9 ast for geverations, with 18-inch rock founda- tions, 13-inch brick walls, granitoid basements; all arrangements for second story have been provided, including joists for second floor: at a small additional cost another atory can he added, which will give the owner enongherent to clear his own; two sireet fronta with eac!; nouse, sewer, water, gas, all connected and paid.

SATURDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH— SEPTEMBER

- POLICE DEFI GENTLE ART ——“BAWLING Teosident Stewart's Inquiries Bring Addition to Lexi- con of Terms. Ut

NEEDN’T SPEAK LOUDLY

Accusation of Drunkenness or Meddling Fulfils the Requirement. ew QUEER REPORT IS READ Stable Afire, Fight in Buggy, Runaway, but “Officer Was Sober.” BRAWL OUT—Verb, active: (1) To speak in a lewd voice to. (2) To accuse of being meddle- Some. (3) To accuse of drunkenness. This valuable addition to the lexicon of"Police terms has been made through the Inquiries of President Stewart and the answers of three witnesses who used the term in testimony before the Poltce Board at Friday afternoon's meeting. When Patrolman Patrick J. Sullivan Was asked why he had arrested Miss Nellie Murphy of 1503 Franklin avenue, after allowing a prisoner she had com- plained against to walk away from the patrol box, Sullivan replied: “She was bawhng the man out.’ “How's that?’ asked Mr. Stewart, placing his hand behind his ear so he could catch the words. “IT say she was bawling him out.” “What do you mean by bawling him eut?”’ “Why, she was talking in a loud voice to him.” The board decided that Sullivan had grossly neglected his duty in permit- ting a prisoner to walk away from him while waiting for the arrival of the pa- trol wagun. Miss Murphy and her mother, Mrs, Mary Murphy, who had caused the arrest of the man, alleging that he had made offensive remarks to them, were placed in the patrol wagon by Sullivan and charged with disturbing the peace. Lieut. Walsh investigated the arrest of the two women, and found, he re- poretd, that Sullivan had been drinking. Sullivan was dismissed from the force. Another Shade of Meaning. Patrolman Thomas G. Trahey of the Central District, who was found drunk in a buggy at Newstead avenue and Westminster place by Private Watch- testified that the watch- man would not have reported him if he caeeney) , had not “bawied the watch- man out “Were you talking ik a loud tone of voice to him?” asked President Stewart. I just bawled him out,” replied “Well, don’t you mean by that that you were talking loudly to him” “No, I just told him that as he was a private watchman he ought to be at- tending to his business of watching Ses, instead of meddling in my af- rs. I told him [I was a police officer. hat’s how I bawled him out, and he got wr President Stewart looked puzzled. Higgins testified that Traney was “erazy drunk.” “He was hanging over the side of the buggy and driving the horse at a gallop. Just as I caught up with him. he fell out of the rig. I took him to the New- atead Avenue Police Station and he Made out a report.” The report, which Trahey admitted making out, read something like this: “The stable was on fire, there was a fight in the buggy, the horse ran away, but the officer was sober.’ “Were you intoxicated when you made out that report?” asked President Stew- art. Trahey made no reply. He was found gulity and dismissed from the force. James McGovern, charged with being intoxicated, said Lieut. Nolte “‘bawled”’ him out. “Did the Lieutenant talk to vou in a loud tone of voice?” asked Mr. Stewart. “No,” replied McGovern. “Did he tell you to attend to your own _ and not meddle in his anno.” “Well, what do you mean when you Saw he bawled you out?” “He accused me of being drunk?” “Were you drunk?” “No, sir, [I was weak from kidney trouble.” “Had you had anything to drink?” had two glasses of gin, which had been prescribed for me by the Lat cer the physician was called. He testified that he had advised McGov-

SCHOOLBOY MAKES y MONEY AFTER HOURS.

CHARLES MORGAN. This is Charles Morgan, 16 years old, and a student at the Yeatman High. During his spare moments le earns money selling the Post-Dispatch, which he buys at Haven’s Branch, 3112 North Nineteenth street. Charles has a big list of regular cus- tomers, which is always a ‘“‘bird in the hand.”” The work does not interfere with his school duties and he finds the employment lucrative. Any school boy who wants to help out at home, if he is industrious, cannot dO better than by selling the Post-Dis- putch. If assistance at home 1s not needed, perhaps some Christmas pres- ents will have to be purchased and now ix the time to think of saving. The branch offices, of which there are many (a list of them is printed else- where), are always ready and willing to credit a real hustler, who has his puirents’ consent. No boy has to jump cars to succeed. A list of regular customers is the de- sirable thing, and it will not take long for a gentlemaniy little fellow to get 4 good siart. CARRIER STOLE [0 EP IS FAMILY Robbed Letters When He Found His Expenses Exceeded Salary. Trapped by a decoy letter, William F. Buckman, a letter carrier, of 2725 North Spring avenue, was arrested at the Postoffice Friday afternoon by United States Deputy Marshal Will- iams. It is alleged that he removed marked money which had been sent in the letter, addressed to an Olive street furniture house. The arrest is the result of a number of complaints filed by time-payment concerns along Buckman’s route. To a Postotfice inspector Buckman said that his wife had been reared in good circumstances, and that _ their household expenses had exceeded his earnings. His only worry, he said, was on ac- count of his wife and i-year-old daugh- ter. He is 34 years old, and has been married six years. Miss Emma E. Kel- ly signed his bond of $1000. He has been in the Postoffice service five years. Wm. H. Hahn's 1530 Olive sat.. for carpenters’ tools: largest assortment in the city (all warranted).

Arrested at Courtroom Door. Upon a telegraphic request from Chief Creecy, William Carney, wanted in St. Louis on a charge of grand larceny, was arrested in Rochester, N. Y., just as he left a courtroom there, after being ac- quitted of a charge of highway robbery.

Found Negro in Chains. Policeman Frank Nally was exoner- ated of the charge of neglect of duty in failing to thoroughly investigate a prac- tical joke. Nally/ found a negro chained to a bar in the Saloon at 2200 Walnut street. He learned that the negro had been chained there by some friends and had taken part himself in the affair. The negro did not want to prosécute, and Nally allowed the incident to be closed after reprimanding the saloon keeper for permitting such conduct in his place. Later the jokers got into a shooting affray and were arrested. Nally was sent before the board on the theory that he might have prevented the shooting had he properly investigated the chain- ing of the negro. Nally proved that the negro refused to tell him who the jokers were and the charges against him were dismissed.

WOULONT CARRY COAL, ASHES, BABY Husband’s Refusal to Assist Her Caused Mrs, Haas to Leave Him.

Attended Spiritualist meetings. Would not let him look at other women. Deserted him and ture, e* tia ee Testimony the Clayton let him kiss their knife under sold furni- was resumed Saturday in Circuit Court in the case In which Mrs. Barbara Haas is seeking a divorce. John Haas is bitterly con- testing the suit, and is himself seeking a divorce in one of the longest cross- bills ever filed in Clayton. Haas took the stand Saturday morn- ing and several times during his story of their domestic quarrels there was a general laugh in the courtroom. Haas said that his wife was so jeal- ous of him that she would start a fight if he looked at another woman. He told of an incident on a street car. He said he was carrying the baby and two girls standing in the car began admir- ing the child. “What did the girls look like?’ asked the Court. “I couldn’t tell Your Honor. I was vfraid even to look at them. I looked at the floor during the entire trip.’’ Has to Look Right Up. “Why, if I looked to one side, my wife accuses me of looking at women there, and if I stare straight ahead she will always find someone there who she thinks I am interested in. The only thing I can ever sately do when I go out with her is to look straight up in ir or down on the ground. one of these two girls said that the child was very pretty, and the other said, ‘But look at the father,’ and at that my wife became so mad that she came over and grabbed the child away from me. My life wasn’t worth living for the rest of the day.” Haas told how one night he came home late and when he got into bed, felt something hard under his pillow. He investigated and pulled out a butch- er knife. “Then I told her,’’ said Haas, “that she might as well go and get my pistol and shoot me. I don’t mind confessing to the Court that. when I said this, T knew the pistol was only loaded with blank cartridges. “She went and got my pistol and then came back to shoot me. But told her that I had instructed my broth- er to investigate my death, and she lost her nerve and put the pistol away.” Threw Baby's Bottle. his wife had one thrown a pair of scissors at him, and that when these missed she threw the baby bottle at him, which struck him in the foot, bruising him painfully and cutting his shoe. The case was begun Friday, and the entire day was taken up with testimony for the plaintiff. The courtroom was crowded all day, many of the specta- tors being women. Mrs. Haas testified that she met John Haas in 1902. when she was working for a wholesale firm. He was then a clerk for the Polar Wave Ice and Fuel Co. They were married Feb. 26, 1903. Everything went well, she said, until their daughter, Engie, was born in the summer of 1904. Then he began staying out late nights. He would ‘‘talk cross” when he came home, she _ said, and would refuse to carry in the coal or to carry out the ashes. She could have endured this and might have continued to split the’ kindling even to the present day, she said, had he not repeatedly talked of the other girls with whom he spent his evenings. Among these was one whom his wif had known before her marriage and a4 friend of the Haas family. They were both in court Friday. finally Haas said day Found Home Deserted. Toec. 1, 1904. the last day of the World's Fair, there was a quarrel between then, Haas went to the Fair and left his wife and the baby at home. When he returned to their home at 3715 Cehio avenue, St. Louis, the wife and baby and a part of the furniture were gone. He found them at the home of her parents in Luxembourg. After two months a reconciliation was af- fected. Aug. 7, 1905, after a quarrel, the final separation took place. Since that time, Mrs. Haas has lived with her parents in Luxembourg. Her husband on one or two occasions spoke to her about re- turning to him, she said, but she re- minded him of his shortcomings in the way of coal and ashes and his refusal to carry ‘he baby, and remained with her parents. Her determination never to return be- came fixed when she saw Haas go to the home of a young woman in South St. Louis, and afterwards met him with her on South Broadway, near Robert avenue. Lillie Singer testified that she received five letters from Haas in which he sought to make engagements with her. She gave two of these letters to Mrs. Haas, who showed them to her hus- band. He became angry, Mrs. Haas said, and threw the letters in the stove. BUSINESS NOTICE. Satin skin Onlv Ze.
