VJ Accused Chicago Civil Engi- neer in Jail Awaits-Grand Jury Action.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March = 2.—Proclaiming that she loved John C. Clark, a prom- inent civil engineer, who had been ar- rested because of his relations with her, Goldie May Walters, 15 years old, was ' taken from a flat at 587 Oakley avenue, where she had been in hiding since March 14, by the police last night. Eager, as she admitted, to keep from testifying against Clark, the girl said she had been kept in hiding partly through the collusion of Clark's wife, who is 20 years old, and the mother of a 83-year-old boy, and who declares she still loves her husband. He is report ed to have been living apart from h for some time because of his affection for Miss Walters. Clark is in the County Jail awaiting action by the grand jury, having been : bound over under $2000 bond, and his wife is now under arrest on a charge = of abduction. iy ___&Bpite of the fact that the Walters girl =

Council Passed Busch Bill, but | House Is Expected to Kill It,

The Manufacturers’ Railway bill, bet- ter known as the Busch bill, for a belt: railroad in the southern por- tion of the city, will probably be killed by the House of Delegates before day. The bill passed the Council after a bit- ter fight, and has been in the hands of the House Railroad Committee for more than six months. Two amendments suggested in a Post- Dispatch editorial Saturday were in- dorsed by members of the railroad com- mittees of both the Council and the House Monday, but the impression was conveyed that the bill will not be passed | at the presént session The prevailing impression at the City Hall is that it will be either reported unfavorably or will not be reported at all by the Railroad Committee of the House. A Post-Dispatch editorial published Saturday suggested that the bill might be acceptable if the following amend- ments were made: 1. A clause providing that trary charge shall ever be made _ on freight or passenger traffic transport- ed over any bridge constructed or ac- quired by or controlled by the railway. 2. A clause providing that after a rea- sonable term of years—say 25—the city shall have the right to acquire the rail- way property by paying its cost with in- terest. These suggested amendments were un- qualifiedly indorsed by five of the seven members of the House Railroad Com- mittee Monday. Two of them called attention to the fact that the grade- crossing proposition also enters into the question to such an extemt that it must be included in any améndments offered. Here are the expressions of Council and House Railroad Committee mem- bers .as given to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Monday: Cramer Indorses Amendments. F. Ernest Cramer, chairman of the Council Railroad Committee: I heartily indorse the Post-Dispatch’s suggested amendments. It seems to me that if they are adopted, the last chance for a valid objection to the bill will be removed. J] am sure that if the bill is so amended by the House this action will be approved by the Council. The sug- gestion that the city has a right to buy the franchise at the end of a stated term is very good. The only fight made on the bill in the Council was because it was thought that $10,000 a year was not enough compensation. This objection will be removed if the Post-Dispatch suggestion as to limiting the franchise is carried out. By all means the bill should contain a clause forbidding abritrary bridge tolls. George CC, Linde, Councilman: I read the amendments suggested in the Post- Dispatch. I have no objection to the ee 4 they are attached, and will vote or it, no arbi- Expects Report Tuesday. Andrew Gazzolo Jr., chairman House Railroad Committee: I think both the amendments proposed by the Post-Dis- patch are good, and would like to see them attached to the Busch bill. I can- not say whether, after they were at- tached, I would find the measure accept- able. That is a matter that would re- quire some time for consideration. The committee will meet to consider.the bill Tuesday, and will try to be ready to re- port it "to the. House at the evening session. James J. Nash, member of House Railroad Committee: I am in favor of the amendments suggested by the Post- Dispatch. I think that thew would make the bill all right. Of course, I would have to consider the measure as a whole before announcing how I would vote. Frank N. Simmons I don't see why they come in here and ask us to take up this bill at the last minute, when we are so busy with other matters. The suggestions made by the Post-Dispatch are all right. I would gladly vote for them if I had a chance. But I don't see how we can do anything with this bill now. Six months ago we asked the backerg of the bill to suggest amend- ments which might aid in its passage through the House. They did nothing. One thing is certain. The bill will not receive our approval unless it is amend- ed so as to eliminate grade crossings as far west as the city limits. At present it provides for sree crossings only as far west as Broadway. As a general proposition, the Post-Dispatch sugges- tions are excellent. I do not favor a perpetual franchise, and I think that all possibility of an arbitrary bridge eharge should be eliminated. Net Much Time Left. John J. Golden: Thre suggested amendments published by the Post-Dis- patch are all right. I am for them. There are other things about this bill, though, which may hold it up. The grade cross- ing question is important.. The House has gone on record as being « eeoee to = crossings. We cannot afford to go ek on that record now. There isn't much time left to consider this bill. Ienac Conran: The Post-Dispatch Suggestions are all right. I don't want = md nc I would vote on this bill. As P tion, IT am against a HE weg arbitrary and I do not think that the ee oo should have a perpetual franchise. are many points to be considered about this bill.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 2.—Facing a strike by 45,000 conductors and brakemen and baggagemen employed by 42 great rail- roads of the West, the strike being au- thorized by the vote of the Trainmen’s and Conductor’s Union and the count- ing of the ballots being in progress, the managers of these big railroads learned today that 3000 conductors of the North- western Railway, employed on the com- pany’s lines in allinois, Wisconsin, the Peninsula of Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska and Colorado, will refuse to join the conductors of the other Western and Northwestern lines in case a strike is ordered tomor- row by Grand chief Garretson of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors. said, will join those or the Nortnwest- Conductors on the other lines, it is ern lines in the refusal to participate in a lockout should one be issued, not- withstanding the apparently favorable vote which will be announced by the officers of the organization tomorrow morning. The Northwestern Railway conductors have opened negotiations with the officials of the road and their differences will be settled without the concerted aid of the conductors of oth- er roads. Grand Chief Garretson today admit- ted that the Northwestern conductors would not participate in furthering the fight which is yr vey made by the or- ganization, but denied that conductors of any of the other lines would desert him. The véting on the strike ballots will be made public tomorrow through the heads of both the trainmen’s and con- ductors’ organizations. They state that there is no doubt that the men have agreed to the proposal in the ballots. Chance for Railroads. A final conference will be held with the general managers by both of the two organizations tomorrow and if they relent and agree to the terms stipu- lated previously by the organizations all danger of trouble will be over and the men will go on with their work. “We believe it is only fair,” said Mr. Garretson today, ‘“‘to make the first an- nouncement of the ballot count to the general managers and give them a chance to settle if they so desire. If they don't yield we will go right on and call off our men.”’ Arbitration, the employes say, will not be accepted awa means of adjustment. The men's demands are for a 10 per cent ‘increase in the wages of the conductors and brakemen in freight service, an in- crease of $10 a month for conductors, $6 for brakemen and $5 for flagmen in the passenger service, and overtime at the rate of 15 miles an hour. This last means 35 cents an hour for conductors and 20 cents for other trainmen, overtime to be on the basis of a nine-hour day. By the terms of the referendum the union officials are authorized to call a strike if the demands are finally re- jected by the companies. Events which have come about since the conference broke up several weeks ago will make the managers, they say, more unwilling than they were before to agree to more than a 10 per cent wage increase. Many of the roads have suffered throughout the Wall street slump. Nearly all will be affected by lower rate legislation and those engaged in building new track- age have the problem of Increased’ cost in materials to deal with: COLDER TUESDA Y, RAIN PREDICTED

Managers Offer 10 Per Cent for Freight, $10 a Month for Passengers.

What itis generally conceded will be the most important conference of rail- way officials and representatives of railway labor organizations that has ever been heid, will begin in Chicago Tuesday morning. It will reveal Whether the general managers and other officials of the 49 systems of railroads running west from Chicago will’ grant an increase in wages as demanded by the men, whether the men will accept the offer of compro- mise submitted by the general man- agers, or in event of the failure to reach an agreement, whether there will be a walk-out of the conductors, brakeinen, flagmen, switchmen and other members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors. With the exception of the Wabash, which is not a party to the confer- ence, officials directly connected with the operating departments of the var- ious roads entering St. Louis were ab- sent from their offices Monday, and it was said that they were in Chicago. The General Managers’ Association, presided over by its permanent chair- man, A. B. Thomas, of‘the Western indiana Railroad, is scheduled to hold a meeting in the afternoon to outline & plan to govern the future action of the representatives of the railroads. this conference, it is expected, t \ instructions will be given to the com- mittee of general managers’ = which will meet the representatives of the Unions Tuesday morning and of which .

The representatives of the general managers will go into the conference fgrtified with data that, it is said, has Leen prepared since the adjournment and union representatives four weeks azo, after sessions which lasted for more than a month without results. The figures to be presented will set forth the present scale of wages in force on the various lines, the ton- nage carried by freight trains. the number of passengers, the approxi- mate earnings at the present! time, and, in fact, will almost bare the ledgers .of the roads to the scrutiny of the employes. “of the joint rowenta den managers u _ all kinds that i It ts however, that the roads will g0 jnto the conference prepared to re- new t ition which was rejected when the t conference adjourned in Febri 4 S was an increase in pay for pe conductors of $10 a month, Ba a and — passen- es In proportion.

wage scale for this road was fixed last December, and, when the present con- ference was called and the Wabash in- vited to take part, the employes were asked if they insisted on the road being represented. It is said that Rhe reply was in the negative, and the Wabash has had no part in the conference. Although for the year it has no agreement with either of the labor organizations taking part in the conference. The Wabash does not recognize labor organizations as such or treat with their officers. Its dealings are with the men as employes, and each employe is supposed to con- stitute his own grievance committee. The schedule of wages on the Wabash for passenger men, which is said to be a fair average, is as follows: For a run of 3000 to 4000 miles a month, $110 a month; 4000 to 5000 miles, $122; 5000 to 6000 miles, $127; 6000 to 6500 miles, $133; 6500 to 7000 miles, 135; over 7000 miles, $140. For the same number of miles the brakemen and flagmen are paid at the rate of $55, 61, 63.50, 66.50, 69 and $72.50. The earning capacity of each man, of course, is based on the number of miles he makes during the month and not on the number of trips he may make. In the freight department the men are paid by the mile. ' 40,000 Then Voted. The 40,000 men who voted as re- ported by the general officers are not more than half of the number that are interested in the final outcome of the Chicago negotiations. There is not figured in this number the member- ship of the Switchmen’s Union of North America, which while it is not officially represented in the conference, will support the trainmen and con- ductors in any position which they take. If there should be a strike—both sides insist that they are using every effort to prevent such a _ happening—and_ the switchmen took part, engineers, firemen and other yardmen would be immedi- ately involved. If the switchmen should enter the fight it would be their first par- ticipation with other railroad organiza- tions since the disruption of the Ameri- can Federation of Railway Employes in the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago in 1890 when Eugene V. Debs, then editor of the firemen’s journal and afterward president of the American Railway Union, left the meeting because mem- bers of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen had supplanted union switch- men in the passenger yards of the Northwestern Railway. Since that date the switchmen and trainmen have gone their respective ways, but now it is said that they pro- pose to make common cause. Thus it may be that switching com- vanies in big cities, which do no other Cusiness than that of transferring cars from one road to another and which in St. Louis and East St. Louis is a big part of the railroad business, may be- come involved. Just how many lines of railroad are affected is uncertain. The original con- ference had in it the represetatives of 49 systems, but many of these have a number of lines under the direction of the same officers and known as parts of the same system.

ae te POTOMAC S$ FAULTY TRACKS MENACE T0 LI Many Accidents Occur on Cali- fornia Avenue Between Cher- okee and Potomac Streets. The reason people avoid the block on California avenue between Cherokee and Potomac streets is that the United Railways track there is faulty. It is so faulty there-is no telling when a car will jump the track and crash into the sidewalk or fences. Four accidents of

a. — this kind have happened there recently, , and the residents of the neighborhood are extremely nervous. Northbound Bellefontaine cars run along this block. Last Friday morning a crowded car jumped the track and crashed into an iron pole in front of 3450 California avenue. Two weeks ago at the same point two persons were hurt in a similar accident. One week ago a car left the track in front of 3118 California avenue, crashed into the curb and demolished a sewer covering. General Manager McCulloch admits that the track along that block is bad, and that this is the cause of the acci- dents, but he says four in one month in a single block are not many. , “Thousands of cars pass along there in a month,’ Capt. McCulloch says. The company will fix the track as soon as it can get around to it, Capt. Mc- Culloch promises. He does not say when this will be. Residents of the neighbor- hood say the street is to be repaved in the summer, and that the United Rail- ways company intends to wait until then, because it will be cheaper to do the work while the city has the street torn up. NEW BOAT LINE PROJECTED. Vessels to Ply Between Kansas City and St. Louis. As soon as the Missouri River can be cleared of snags by Government boats, which were ordered to begin operations Monday, a boat line will be established between Kansas City and St. Louis, ac- cording to information brought to St. Louis by interested parties. This line will make connections here with the new steamboat and barge line that will be incorporated Wednesday to run between St. Louls and New Orleans. Edgar B. Giles of Kansas City ar- rived in St. Louis Monday on business connected with the new river line. He is not financially interested, but is an active promoter of the plan. It will be possible, under arrange- ments which have been made for Kan- sas City business houses, as well as St. Louis firms, te ship on through bills of lading to Mexican ports, the freight go- ing the entire distance by water. The Neptune Navigation Co., which will con- nect at New Orleans with the St. Louis- to-Nenw Orleans boats. will Thursday purchase the steamship ‘‘Montezuma,”’ which has 2200 tons capacity and 80 cabins. ‘It may be possible,’’ said R. C. Wil- son, president of the Neptune company to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘for us to take the barges from St. Louis when they reach New Orleans and tow {them direct to Progreso or Vera Cruz, Mexico, where connections will be made with our smaller coast vessels. I found the Kan- saa City business men very enthusiastic and they promised plenty of freight for Mexico and points south of that coun- try. The St. Louis business men have also taken hold of the plan with much aie Wilson met with L. D. Kingsland of the new river line Monday afternoon to-discuss arrangements for connections and transfer of freight at New Orleans. “T am under promise to turn over to the new river Hne,”’ said Mr. Willson, “all the northbound freight I get in Mexico; and it amounts to @ large to tal.” omoters of the two river lines Pa aM 0 Wilson think the boats and barges should be in operation within three or four months.

The time between the ses- sion of the court today and Wednesday morning, when the trial is scheduled to be resumed, will be spent by Justice Fitzgerald in examining the affidavits and other papers in the insanity pro- ceedings as filed by opposing counsel, so that with the resumption of the trial ‘Nednesday the Justice will be ready With his decision. It is stated today that if a commis- Sion in lunacy is appointed Thaw will not take advantage of the legal ad- vices to thwart’ a thorough examina- tion by such a commission. He is said to be eager for a chance to prove that he is sane. Thaw is credited with say- ing: I will submit to all phases of an examination that is rational and rea- sonable.”’ Thaw is not convinced that Justice Fitzgerald will find it necessary to ap- point a commission in lunacy, but he resents the possibility of the general public inferring from the fact that his own counsel opposes District Attorney Jerome’s move for the appointment of a commission, that he shrinks from the ordeal of facing such a body. Thaw in High Spirits. Thaw is in high spirits over the affi- davits drawn in his hebalf and delivered to Justice Fitzgerald. He is especially pleased with the affidavit prepared by his mother. Counsel for Thaw share the prison- er’s belief that Justice Fitzgerald will not find it necessary to appoint a com- EE RE ay th eee ae On the other hand, District Attorney Jerome is confident of the appointment of a commission.and an adjournment of court on Wednesday until the com- mission to be appointed will present its revort. Mr. Jerome, it is stated, will not ada to the array of affidavits which already he has placed in Justice Fitzgerald’s hands, and unless the latter asks for further information the State’s written argument for the appointment of a commission will close with the presen- tation of Mr. Jerome's brief this morn- ing. Justice Fitzgerald has indicated that he does not wish to listen to verbal ar- guments for or against the appointment of a commission, so that the test of Thaw’s sanity at the present time wil] stand or fall on the material submitted to the court this morning. ~ one Talk of Death a “Bluff.” Oscar Schlegel, aged 43, of 2225 Frank- lin avenue said that he was only “bluff- ing’’ and did not really w: ally want to | himself, after policemen found vin with a glass of carbolic acid and had taken him to the Dayton Street Police Station Sunday.

VERDICT TUESDAY IN DETECTIVES CASE Vote Will Be Taken After Dis- cussions on Each Case and Announcement Made. In all probability the Board of Police Commissioners will render a decision Tuesday afternoon in the cases of As- sistant Chief of Detectives John J. Keely, and Detectives Gus Dooley and Michael J. McGrath. After hearing the evidence in the graft cases against the three members of the detective department the board took them under advisement, and it was stated Monday that they had not even been discussed informally by members of the board. The cases will be taken up one at a time and the result announced as a vote is taken on each case. As only four members of the board attend the meetings three votes will be necessary for either acquittal or conviction. It was pointed out by members of the police department given to deduction that even in the event of an equal di- vision of the board on the question of the innocente orp guilt of the accused men the announced intention of the three detectives to resign in the event of acquitalwould let the board out of the matter in an easy manner. Ex-Judge Hiram N. Moore, attorney for the detectives, made the statement openly during the trials that he would advise the defendants to quit the depart- ment in the event of their acquittal. ONIONS MAKE WEAK CASE. Ham and Eges Prosecution Cooked Up, He Said. Charged with stealing three fresh egges,, three slices of boiled am and six spring onions, material for three sand- wiches, Marion Griffin, a negro, won his freedom Monday by explaining to Judge Taylor of the Court of Criminal] Correc- tion how he came into possession of the ham and onions. He denied having the eggs. James J. Bowlin, a grocer of 2103 Franklin avenue, was the complaining witness. He saw the negro attempt to steal eggs March 12, and while watch- ing for a return of the thief, saw Grif- fin. He called Policemen Hutton and Blake, who arrested Griffin. ‘Yo’ Honah,” said Griffin, when ar- raigned, ‘‘Ah didn’t have no eggs. kain’t carry no eggs, ‘cause dere ain't two good pockets in mah coat.”’ ‘How about the ham and onions?’’ asked Judge Taylor. “Those onions make the case against you .- pretty strong.” “No, sah!’’ replied the negro. ‘dey strong onions. Dey wah just tiny, little spring onions. Ah picked dem up on Third street, near the mar- ket and de ham Ah bought on mah way home.”’ “How long have you been in Jail?’’ inquired the Judge. ‘Ten days,’’ said Griffin. “Ten days in Jail, and I'll give you credit for the time you have put in,” was the sentence. STOLE A POOR BOX. JiJd ohnson Fined by Judge Tay- lor After Pleading Guilty. John Johnson of 3400 Locust street, charged with stealing a poor box con- taining $2.62 from the saloon of Henry Henning at Jefferson avenue and Day- ton street, pleaded guilty in the Court of Criminal Correction Monday and Judge Taylor fined him $10. When ar- raigned Johnson said he did not re- member taking the money. “Make the sentefice as light.as you ean, Judge.’’ begged Johnson. “Give me a chance to reform. Let me out and I'll get work before night and pay back the money. If you can’t do that and don't think I am worthy of being a citizen of the city give me time to get out of it.” . Judge Tavlor did not say whether he thought him worthy or not, but as- sessed the fine. Johnson will serve it

MONDAY--8T. LOUIS POST-DISPATOH—MARCH 25, 1907 __ | ' Orleans.

AAILAOADS WIN IK TWO FEDERAL SUITS Court Denies Corn Dealer's Claim for Loss on Damaged Shipment.

PASSENGER OTHER LOSER eT Volunteer Offered His Fare, but Conductor Put Him Off Nevertheless. The United States Circuit Court — of Appeals Monday affirmed the decision of the United States Circuit Court in the suit by which Grant G. Sutherland of 6057 Cates avenue, a St. Louis commis- sion merchant, sought to collect $1371.83 damages from the Illinois Central Rail- road Co. His claim was for damaged shipments of corn, and was denied. In the winter of 1903-4 Sutherland shipped 1200 carloads of corn to New When the corn reached _ its destination it had to be cleaned before it was turned over to the purchasers. The purchasers had to pay the railroad company for their expense in cleaning and drying the corn, and Sutherland reimbursed the purchasers. Sutherland sued the railroad company for $1371.88, but lost the suit. In the opinion handed down Monday Judge Hook, in refusing to allow Sutherland to recover, holds that Sutherland for- feited his right to recover when he paid the purchasers the amounts they had paid the railroad company. Among the six other opinions handed down Monday by = Court of Appeals is one in which udge Van Deventer holds that a railroad company does not have to accept the payment of fare from a volunteer Good Samaritan when the man who is about to be put off the train for failure to pay his fare is ‘‘broke.”’ Ww. H. Smith of Indian sued the M., K. & T. R. damages. Smith took the trainat Chouteau, I. T., for Adair. He had no fare and at Pryor Creek the conduct- or was about to put him off. A passenger volunteered to pay Smith's fare to Adair, but the con- ductor said Smith had played the trick before and wouldn't take the money from the volunteer. Smith got judgment in the Indian Territory courts, and the railroad appealed. Judge Van Deventer reversed the de- cision of the lower court and remanded the case for a new trial, holding that Smith could not recover if an attempt to defraud the railroad was shown and that when a passenger once refused to pay hts fare the company need not ac- cept a later payment.

For selling another man ea ring for °5 cents, James Maher of 1144 Pen- dleton avenue was fined; $100 and costs by Judge Tracy Monday. The charge was peddling without a li- cense. . Maher accosted George Brown, a milkman;. at Pifteenth and Market streets, Saturday night, and after tell- ing him-a hard luck story, confided to him that he was’ at last reduced to selling his wife’s wedding ring, which he could not force himself to part from for less than a quarter. The milkman brought the ring. Policeman Olrich saw the transac- action and arrested Maher. After be- ing searched he was found to have 16 other rings just like the ‘“‘wedding ring’ he had just sold. He also had six union cards, each in a different eraft. which the police think he finds useful in making sales to working- men.

Police Court Evidence Disap- pears in Mysterious Manner. Judge Tracy waxed facetious and then angry Monday morning over the sudden and unexplained disappearance from Sergt. Gilmore's desk of a pair of loaded dice, which were being held as evidence in a crap-game case. “It is most peculiar,” said the Judge, “that those loaded dice should vanish from a place to which o policemen have access. I do not like to entertain the obvious inference." Henry Johnson, a negro coachman, claimed that he had lost $82 in six minutes to Tom Reed and Welton Col- lier, two other negro coachmen, whose “rabbit foot’ was a pair of doctored dice. They first played for $10 a throw, said Johnson, and then kept doubling the wager until all his money was gone. hg arrested Collier had $140 and Reed The police found four pairs of dice on Reed and Collier, one pair of which was loaded. They were all left with Sergeant Gilmore for safekeeping. When crn | were wanted in the trial, the mnioade dice were still there, but the more use- ful pair had vanished. The game was played, Johnson testi- fied, Friday night in a stable at 9% Hortense place, where Collier was em- ployed. Judge Tracy fined Reed and Collier

Tice Ellis, a Negro, Charged With the Offense. Tice Ellis, a negro 21 years old, 1s under arrest. charged with robbing newsboys. Ellis was arrested Sunday morning at Vandeventer and Finney avenues on complaint of William F. Shuttleworth, who conducts a Post-Dis- patch branch at 3914 Finney avenue, Shuttleworth captured the negro aft- er John Hurley, a newsboy, living at 3814 Cozens avenue, had pointed him out as the man who first knocked him down and then took his Sunday papers and 75 cents from him. Shuttleworth turned him over to the police. Anderson Williams, 3130 Pine street, and John Wyatt of 22447A Walnut street, newsboys, say Ellis robbed them on March 10. Willlams says he took $1.76 from him and Wyatt says he took his 10 Sunday papers. MUSICIAN WANTS $15,000. Pittsburg Orchestra Leader De- mands Large Salary. PITTSBURG, March 2%.—Emil Paur, ‘conductor of the Pittsburg Orchestra for the last three years, has startled the Music Committee of the Seay Art Society by ig new a salary of $1

a year to si ‘® new contract in case one is offered to him. During the three years he hag been here Mr. Paur has received fan-annual stipend of $10,00, which is' more than was paid Victor Herbert, the famous composer, the most opular conductor the orchestra ever ad. In addition to the $15,000 a year, Mr. Paur requires an enlarged orchestra, al- though his musicians: already number 65. It is scarcely likely that Paur’s de- mands will be met. Reports have been in circulation for some time that Victor Herbert might be induced to return to Pittsburg. WOMAN’S SMILE HIS REWARD Conductor Returned $5869 He Found in Car. Special to the Post-Dispateh. BOSTON, March 2%.—Charles Martin, street car conductor, who found a roll of $5869 in bills kicking about the floor of his car. received as a reward for his honesty a single smile from a woman. Martin almost suffered nervous pros- tration when he picked up the roll of bills and saw tens, twenties and yellow fifties in multitudinous confusion, and he shaded his eyes for a time before he counted them. A Mrs. Robinson of Lowell put in a claim and proved own- ership of the wealth. She was told young Martin was the finder, and turn- ing she smiled upon him, and as she left the office remarked to the superin-

tendent: ‘‘Wasn't it good of the con- ductor?”

The trial began in the Circuit Court “here last Thursday morning. The case was given to the jury at 4 p. m. Satur- day. For nearly twenty-four hours the jury stood ten to two for acquittal. Then the two remaining jurors were won over. Mrs. Sanderson testified Friday.

BONILLA'S DEFEA ‘MAY END THE WAR wr

Nicaraguan Consul in New York Predicts Close of Hostilities. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, March 25.—ihe news that the forces of President Zelaya of Nicaragua had defeated the Honduran army at Choluteca and that President Bonilla was in flight was not cheering news to the Central American colony in, this city. The Central Americans sus- pect Zelaya of cherishing the hope thut some day he may be able to establish a powerful Central American union, over which he will be the head, with the oth- er states subsidiary. Amapala Threatened. The opinion was expressed that Pres- ident Bonilla, who was in command of the Honduran forces, has fled to San Lorenzo, which is on the mainland, and thence by boat to Ampala, an island on the Pacific. The captured from Ampala, town is only 15 miles the principal Hon- duran seaport on the Pacific, which is said to be unfortified. It is probable that the Nicaraguans will now attack Ampala, where it is believed little or no resistance will be made. In case Presi- dent Bonilla is pursued, he can reach La Ufion, Salvador, in four hours. Choiuteca has been the objective point of the Nicaraguan forces under Gen. Aurelia Estrada and Gen. Ortiz since the beginning of hostilities. Portilos de Namasique, where the allied Honduran and Salvadorean forces were defeated a few days ago, is on the frontier 30 miles from Choluteca. The latter town is 75 miles from Tegucigalpa, the Hon- duran capital. The distance between the two towns makes it seem unlikely that the Nicaraguan expectation to cap- ture Tegucigalpa today will be realized. When informed of the news from Man- agua last night, Pio Bolanos, Consul- General of Nicaragua in this city, sald: “Tl am sure that it means the end of the war. with another victory for our country.” Ralph McKittrick Arrested. Ralph McKittrick of 4166 Washington boulevard was arraigned in the City Hall Police Court Monday on a charge of exceeding the speed limit in his au- tomobile.

Until a bucket of garbage came be- tween them, Leonard Luly, a tinner, liv- ing at 3646 Nebraska avenue, and Hen- ry Goeddel, an ironworker of 2853 Win- nebago street, were as friendly as two neighbors could possibly be.

A well-known authority states that Backache is only too often the danger signal which notifies the prtient that something is wrong with the Kidneys, and warns every one to be careful, particularly at this period of the year, when the skin pores are closed, forcing the Kidneys to do double their work of filtering the Impurities and poisons from the blood and system. At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kid- neys, or weakness and Urinary trouble, the following simple prescription should be used: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.

ie SIX BLOCKS nd —_-__——_—— Seventh St. Location Offers Similar Obstacle to Pur- chase by City, a twist Louis has a Klondike, The gold fever has struck men in the neighborhood of the free bridge termi- nus at the foot of Chouteau avenue. Speculation is rife and it was stated to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday that several real estate agents have closed deals -for temporary quarters near Broadway and Chouteau avenue. Own- ers Of property in the vicinity of the point where the bridge will enter the citv are greatly excited over the pros- pects of big returns for their holdings. If Chouteau avenue ran straight west from the river there would be little chance for a gamble on the free bridge prospect. But it doesn’t. There is an angle of 30 degrees between the street east of Fourth street and its course west of Fourth street. Between the straight line and the di- gression lies the wedge of speculation. The exact point at which the western approach of the bridge will end has not been determined. One of the engineers consulted by the Joint Committee of th Municipal Assembly guggested the corner of Fourth street“and Chouteau avenue as the terminus. Question of Location. A large majority—ot-the residents and property holders in the neighborhood think that the bridge will end at Chou- teau avenue and Seventh street. Chouteau avenue from the river to Fourth street was laid out in the early davs of St. Louis when there was noth- ing west of Fourth street except a tan- gle of hazel brush. The surveyors, fol- lowing the custom of that time, went down to the river and turned their in- struments west along the line of a cow- path or wagon road until thev sighted the top of the nearest hill in line with the established right of ‘way. That was nearly 100 vears ago. The original projectors of the street couldn't have done the work better if they had been inspired. The thorough- fare as they laid it out points straight towards the railroad yards used by all of the roads running into and out of St. Louts. Most St. Louisans have no knowledge of Chouteau avenue except west of Fourth street, a right of way estab- lished many years after the original survey. Thousands who ride to busi- ness every day over the Fourth street and Broadway lines do not know that there is an offset in the street. A line drawn directly east from Sev- enth street and Chouteau avenue would strike the levee three blocks north of the foot of Chouteau avenue as shown on the city map. Therefore the accepted bridge site at the foot of Chouteau ave- nue is in no sense on the line of Chou- teau avenue west of Fourth street. The point in controversy between property holders in the Chouteau ave- nue district is whether the old or the new line of Chouteau avenue will be followed in building the approach to the bridge. Even if the approach ends at Fourth street and Chouteau avenue, the west- ern end of the street as originally laid out, it offers a rich chance for specu- lators. Where the approach stops the terminals must begin, and Fourth and Chovteau is five blocks from the gen- eral railroad yards: This would mean that practically all the property bound- ed by Fourth street on the east, Sev- enth street on the west, Chouteau ave- nue on the south and Gratiot street on the north must be condemned and bought by the city for terminal pur- poses. Property Worth $1,000,000. The property in this Wtdge-shaped tract comprises at least six square blocks and its value is nearly $1,000,000. If the end of the approach is at Sev- entn street and Chouteau avenue, one of two things will be necessary. Either there must be a sharp curve in the ap- proach or most of the property on the north side of Chouteau avenue from Fourth street to Seventh street must be condemned and bought by the city. From the end of the approach at Sey- enth street the railroad would have to cut acros to the present railroad yards, and this would necessitate the condem- nation of much property on Eighth and Ninth street, between Chouteau avenue and Gratiot street, one block north. The total value of the property to be condemned under these conditions is said to be nearly $1,000,000. Meanwhile, there is the old line of Chouteau avenue, the ancient cow path, with runs straight as a die into the great Mill Creek Valley sytem of estab- lished railroad yards. Investigation indicates that if this route is followed itwill not be necessary to condemn more than $200,000 worth of property, if the bridge follow the old line of Chouteau avenue to Eighth and Gratiot streets, where there is now an unobstructed entrance to the yards. The approach could not be so built, ex- perts say, that the lower roadway would reach the surface at this point, or a few hundred feet west. Double Terminus Suggested. Under this arrangement this railroad yard terminal would be inconvenient for wagon and foot traffic. To offset this a suggestion has been made that there be a double terminus in the form of a Y. According to this plan the upper roadway, instead of following the low- er roadway into the yards, would be turned west into Gratiot street at or near Ninth street and would have its terminus near the southern end of the Twelfth street bridge. At this point wagons and foot passengers would find easy outiet into Twelfth street. They could go north over the briige or south to Chouteau avenue, which, when the new free bridge is completed, will be one of the main traffic arteries of the city. Another argument advanced tn favor of this plan is that the establishment of the terminals at either Fourth street or Seventh street on Chouteau avenue will interfere with street railway traffic at this point. If the bridge approaches can be car- ried over Broadway and into the yards over the imaginary extended line of Chouteau avenue, the «Fourth treet, Broadway, Seventh street and Cass ave- nue lines can continue to run over their present routes, merely passing urder he superstructure of the bridge ap- proaches. The property just north of Chouteau avenue, between Fourth and Eighth streets, is not rated at more than one- third the Because of in a street St.

WEDDED YEAR, KEPT SECRET Well-Known Missourians Sur- prise Their Friends. Special te the Post-Dispatch. PRINCETON, Mo., March 25.—That a woman can keep a secret was shown in Princeton today, when the announce- ment was made that Mr. Louis’V Alley and Miss Erdie Hayes, two of Prince- ton’s prominent young people, have been married over a year. The fact only be- came known when Miss Hayes drove with a load of household goods to the Lindsey farm, six miles south of this city, and joined Mr. Alley, who has been there for the past week. The news spread rapidly and was the source of much surprise. Mr. Alley has been prominent in Mer- cer County politics for several years. His bride is prominent in church and social circles. They were married at Eagle Grove, Io., Feb. 17, 1906. Miss Hayes went there for a visit with rela- tives. Mr. Alley followed. He returned to this city the next day after the mar- riage, and she remained several days. The secret was well kept, not even thir most intimate friends knowing of rt. The farm on which the couple will reside is the property of Mr. Allev’s sister. Some time ago the house on the place was remodeled, Mr. Alley superin- tending the work. It was later sup- plied with a complete new housekeeping outfit. This caused wonder, but the event was looked for at some future date. Mr. Alley is the eldest son of James M. Alley, deceased, for many years a prominent county official here. The tride is a daughter of J. M. Hayes, gen- eral manager of the T. W. Ballew lum- ern Iowa. ANNOUNCE NOBLE WEDDING. Well-Known Realty Man Mar- ried Two Weeks Ago. Philip S. Noble, a young real estate man well known about town, was mar- ried two weeks ago in Chicago to Miss Frances Teale. of Benton. They did not tell their friends when they returned, and the announcement of the wedding Monday created surprise. Mr. Noble is a member of the firm of Hildenbrandt & Noble. His father, F. A. Noble, is a minister in Chicago, and the young man says that the reason for the trip was that the elder Noble might perform the marriage ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Noble are making their home in Benton. Stabbed in Saloon Fight. Romano Cicutti, laborer, aged 30, of 2741 Clark avenue, is at the City Hos- ital with a stab wound in the back. e was cut Saturday night in a free- for-all fight in a saloon at 1416 Frank- lin avenue after an altercation as to who should pay for the drinks. Joseph Onsti, Elisio Regalia and a third man were arrested and are being held pend- ing the outcome of Cicutti’s wound. a Says Panel Game Was Played. A man giving his name as Anton Wa- gel an dhis address as 617 Park ave- nue complained to the police Sunday night that he had been robbed by means of the panel game in the house at 2114 Lucas avenue. Jagel claimed he lost $41. The police arrested Lilly Richards. She denied knewldege of the theft. Fireman Dies of Injury. John Esenbach, aged 63, a bakery fire- man of 295 Hebert street, died at the City Hospital early Sunday morning from a fracture of the skull received when he fell off a street car late Sat- urday night.

—— — ——— A QUESTION © When Eating an Orange Why Do You Throw the Skin Away? You immediately answer, because the skin is indigestible, unpalatable, use- less : This delicious and nutritious fruit has a parallel in cod liver oil. Over fifty medicinal alkaloids or curative elements are to be found in the cod’s liver, and for centuries people have been swallowing the greasy, indiges- tible, nauseating oil, either in its raw form or in an emulsion, to get the benefit of these medicinal elements. Now it has been proven by two cele- brated French chemists that the oil which envelopes the curative properties found in the cod’s liver is just as use- less as the skin of an orange, and have discovered a way to separate all of these medicinal elements from the oil, retaining all that is good and elimin- ating the bad and thus make Vinol. This will explain what a valuable medicine Vinol is, and why it is super- seding old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, and why it has been so suec- cesful in curing stomach troubles, giv- ing strength and renewed vitality to the weak, run-down and aged, and curing chronic coughs, colds, and building up the convalescent.

Cy Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 25.—An interna- tlonal trust, covering the price anq dis- tribution of Bibles and marked by many of the methods already familiar to the public through the Standard Oil and Sugar Trust exposures, has its American headquarters in the Bible House, opposite Cooper Unton. The American Bible Society, founded §1 years ago, is the American branch of the combination... Though it disclaims, with the other members of the pooling agre@€ment—the British and Foreign Bi- ble Society of Scotland—any intent of commercialism, the combination, since its formation, has resulted in the ex- tinction of hundreds of local Bible so- Cieties, the absorption of hundreds of thers as auxiliaries of the American ible Society and an increase of the price of Bibles to American purchasers, 4 _.

But if a local society does not consent to become an “auxiliary"’ it pays an additional 10 per cent more for its Bibles than if it buys from the American Bible Society. Since the Bible Trust began to absorb local societies under threat of dropping them from its list of favored customers ~those allowed to purchase at cost— one nearly 1000 of these societies have been driven out of existence.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, March 25.—In an effort, it is sald, to persuade his wife, Emma Eeames Story, to reconsider her action for divorce against him, or to begin it in a State other than New York, where it can be brought on less serious grounds, Jullan Story went to New York today. Mr. Story took break- fast at the Philadelphia Club and seemed distraught. “Madame has the artistic tempera- ment hugely,” he said, ‘‘but I can’t un- derstand it. There must be some mis- tuke. J am entirely innecent of the things Mme. Eames brings against me, I dont’ know even whom she can name as co-respondents. Of course, 1 have known of the action for some days. My lawyer made answer for me. it seemed as though the manner in which the proceedings has been brought was what annoyed him. The breach between the two came as an absolute surprise to Philadelphia society, whose maids and matrons Story has been painting all winter. It was recalled that at the ball given by Mr. Story last winter Mime. Kames acted as hostess, her husband being ill. That was her last appearance socially in this city. It is stated that the complaint in the suit for divorce was filed by Mrs. Story in the + nda Court in West- chester County, New York, several weeks ago and is returnable in the first week in April. It is not mentioned in the complaint whether there are any co-respondents, but the only ground for absolute divorce in that State is adult- ery. There is said to be no feeling of great anger between them and that this is a deliberate step on the part of Mrs. Story. They were married in London in 1891, after the close of Mme. Eames’ engage- ment at Covent Garden. She was born in Shanghal, China, in 1869, of American parents and came to this country when very young. She _ studied singing in Paris and made her first appearance In | the Paris grand opera, singing Juliette at the suggestion of the composer, Gounod. Her husband is a son of W. W. Story and is a well-known artist. He studied abroad at Eton and Oxford and was in Paris from 1882 to 1891.

From the first, her appetite kept right on improving, until now she eats a hearty meal three times a day, besides a lunch between. Nervousness has entirely left her.

I am still giving the medicine to her, to be sure to cure her lungs if there is really any trouble left, although she does not cough now. “I have given her almost three bot- tles of Father John’s Medicine in small doses and am very grateful for the good it has done her, and think if mothers would try that instead of doctors’ medicine, their little ones would be sick less.” (Signed), Mrs. G.

“The marriage of Miss Elise Von Ende and Henry Kaiser Lackland was solemnized at noon Monday In the Roy- al Chapel at Dresden. The bride was Given away by her father, General- Maitor Von Ende, in the presence of relatives and friends, who filled the chapel. After the service a reception followed at the Von Ende villa, one of the most beautiful country places in the suburbs of Dresden. The bridal dress of unusual beauty was of white satin with garniture of old family lace, used in panels, cuimp and slieevern on the gown, which was fashioned princess. The veil was caught by an epaulet of myrtle, which is used by brides in the Fatherland in lieu of orange blossoms. The myrtie used as the bridal crown is planted by the parents of the bride and carefully nurtured by the ecct. This is in accordance with a pret- ty story of old German folk lore, to the effect that much of the happiness ef the bride during her wedded life is foretold by the perfect growth, strength and beauty of the myrtie used on that day of all days for German maidens. The ceremony of Polterabend was observed Saturday evening at the Ven Ende home. This is the occasion of resenting to the bride her bridal veil, y her mother or sister, whose wed- ding it has previously served and in whose possession it has remained. The Von Ende veil has done service for generations and is of point lace of deli- cate design of flowers and insignia of the hovse of Von Ende. One of the pretty features of the Polteeabend cer- emony is the crcwning of the bride with her myrtle wreath by her most intimate girl friend, who has woven the decoration of honor. Mr. Lackland and - Miss Von Ende were married by the burgomaster at a civil service Sunday. Mr. Lackland was ac- companied by his father, Mr. Edward (, Lackland. Qne of the many mag- nificent bridal gifts to the bride was a complete dinner service of royal Dres- den china, designed and presented by her uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Lackland will leave im- mediately for this country and will ar-

bride — rive early in April. They will take pos- session of their home in Berlin avenue, which Mr. Lackland has secured from Mr. Edward Paramore. Several prom- inent functions will be given in honor

RR ae a ne Woman's titties Al Leet wee nee Watch word Is Modesty

Whatever threatens woman’s d. her. ‘lieate sense of modesty, frightens For this reason many a woman permits disease of the delicate womanly organs to become aggravated because she cannot bring loca) treatments, which most physicians think necessary. Doubt- less thousands of the women who have taken advantage of Dr. Pierce’s offer of free consultation by letter have been led to do so by the escape thus offered from a treatment repugnant to modesty. Any sick woman may write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., in perfect confidence, all letters of consultation being treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential, and all answers being sent in plain envelopes with no advertising or other printing upon them. Such consultation you nothing whether you take treatment from Dr. Pierce or not. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite has been long hailed as a “God-send to women.” It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It en- ables women suffering from weakness and other complaints of the organs distinctly feminine, to cure themselves right in the privacy of their homes. Internal ‘eatarrhal drains, backache, frequent headaches, weak nerves, gnawing sensation in stomach, dizzi- costs Prescription ‘ness or faint spells, and kindred con- ditions and symptoms are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is not a secret or patent medicine, against the use of which most people of intelligence naturally object, but is, “Favorite Prescription” and experi- enced physician in the treatment of woman's peculiar ailments and who 8 not afraid to publish all its” in- gredients, as he does, on its bottle- wrapper attesting the correctness of the same under oath. “Favorite Prescription” is the one medicine tor woman’s delicate ailments aleohol nor in fact, the

which contains neither harmful. habit-forming drugs, being a pure glycerin extract of curative prin- ciples found in our most valuable na- tive, medicinal roots, as attested by many of the most eminent medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physi- a and adapted to woman’s delicate system. It is made of native Ameri- can medicinal roots and is perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the female system. As a powerful invigorating tonic, “Favorite Prescription” imparts strength to the whole system and to the organs distinctly feminine in par- ticular. For over-worked, “worn-out,” “run-down,” debilitated teachers, milli- ners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled

as an appetizing cordial and restorat- ive tonie. As a soothing and strengthening nervina, “Favorite. Prescription” is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, ir- ritability, nervous exhaustion, nerv- ous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, St, Vitus’ dance, and other distressing, nervous symptoms com- monly attendant upon functional and organic disease. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. You can’t afford to accept a secret nostrum as a_ substitute for this PROVEN REMEDY OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. “The Bloed Is The Life.”’ Science has never gone beyond the above simple statement of , scripture. But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowl- edge. When the blood is “bad” or im- pure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgment are effected. Foul, impure blood can be made pure by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It enviches and purifies the blood, thereby curing, we tee blotches, eruptions and other cutaneous affections, as ecz°ma, tetter, or salt-rheum, hives and other mani- festations of impure blood. In the cure of scrofulous swellings, enlarged glands, open eating ulcers, or old sores, the “Golden Medical Discov- ery” has performed the most marvelous cures. In cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers, it is well to apply to the open sores Dr. Pierce’s All-Healing Salve, which possesses wonderful heal- ing potency when used as an applica- tion to the sores in conjunction with the use of “Golden Medical Discovery” as a blood cleansing constitutional treatment. If your druggist don’t hap- pen to have the “All-Healing Salve” in stock, you can easily procure it by in- closing fifty-four cents in postage stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, 663 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Most druggists keep it as well as the “Golden Medical Discovery.” You can’t afford to accept any medi- me “sltnawn composition as a sub- « for “Golden Medical Discovery,” which is a medicine or KNOWN COM- ‘tion, having a complete list of is in plain English on its hottle-wrapper, the same being attested as correct under oath. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets invigor- ate the stomach, liver and bowels. One to three;a dose, Easy to take as candy.

wrens» FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS Don’t Use hee Dienty That Keeps Its Formula a Secret. People who are troubled with stom- ach weakness cannot afford to use any remedy unless they know what it con- tains. Mi-o-na is not qa mere digestive giv- ing only temporary relief, but a spe- cific for all disorders of the digestive organs, and so effects a parmanent cure for stomach troubles. Your physician will tel you that nothing is better than a combination of chemically pure bismuth subgal- late to allay any inflammation of the stomach and bowels; cerium oxalate to strengthen the stomach nerves; so- dium bicarbonate, which neutralizes the poisonous acids that are presnt in stomach troubles; and nux vomica, which will restore — to the diges- tive organs and tone the whole nervous system. This combination is found only in Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and it so rarely fails to strengthen the digestive system and cure all forms of stomach disorders that the remedy is sold under a guarntee to refund the money un- less it cures, If you suffer from indigestion, dis- tres after eating, specks before the eyes, headaches, pains in the back and side, emaciation, bloating, nervous- ness, sleeplessness, or any of the other symptoms of stomach troubles, begin the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets at once.

It may be produced by dyspepsia, malaria or hemorrhage; but the most common cause is insufficient nutrition.

Giants Turn the Tables on the Browns Through the Young Twirler Jacobson--- Brown Colts: Win at Austin. AUSTIN, Tex., March 23. Hilf Browns, reunited, are doing + their last day’s work bue one in Texas. Tomorrow night the team will start for home in the best of con- dition and the best of spirits. Today the boys are working as hard as if they had just begun training and they will keep at it until late tomorrow afternoon, NIE'S¢

Yesterday over in San Antonio the squad representing the ‘‘Regulars’’ went down to defeat, as was expected, before the New York Giants. The score was 12 to 2 and the game was just as one- sided as the figures would indicate. But— and a great big but it is, too—it was not the Browns that were beaten. It was one Mr. Jacobson, a pitcher. “Jacke” established the world’s record for bad pitching. In the three innings in which he officiated he only gave the Giants three hits, but let them score seven runs. This is what he did: Gave seven men bases on balls: hit three men; made or three {ynings, eh? After that Farris went nga Mil te ate to do anything then. “riss, the Texas hitting wonder, er will, and what is more never

three wild pitches. After Saturday's wae oe that ps ; rst baseman. ceo chance: p _ the positic. He did everything at first except cover the position, and a the one in -« that he stood up behind the bat to catch Jacobson made a fitting backstop for the poor twirler. At the bat, though, he looked pretty good, getting two hits and scoring one of the Browns’ two runs. ND, paradoxical as it may seem, J acobson showed better than he has done A for two years in the spring. He had more speed and better curves than ever before, and simply lacked control. With all his bad showing he looks like he would bé a first rate pitcher this season. The Giarits were just as happy over winning the game as if they had really outplayed the Browns, but McGraw was not to be fooled by the way things went, and after it was over said that St. Louis had in McAleer’s bunch one of the fastest looking teams he had ever gone up against. This is how the game was played: NEW YORK. ‘ H. PO. Shannon If J latte nite 8T. LOUIS, — DO ee hD ee O oo ~_ “oO ~oneo Mae orOorKor ws e #88 Delehanty Criss c and 1b ......

HERE was consolation for McAleer, however, when he got back to Aus- tin last night and found out what the second team had done to the Austin nine.

CARDINALS STILL HIPTING, HOUSTON, Tex., March 3%. : \ey ‘ H® St. Louis Cardinals stung the Washington team of the American League again yesterday, making three games out of four the Natonal Louls Leaguers have won. The game wound up 6 to 2, with the St. people predominating. The improvement of the playing of theCardinals since the game of the week before was great. They hit the shoots of Falkenburg, the long-distance slab artist of the Senators, all over the lot. They reached him for nine succulent safe raps, and one of them was a wallop for two sacks by Doc. Marshall. P Was a large array of fans at the ball yard to witness the melee. expected to see a good game and the St. Lous team to win and t @ good run for their coin.

Griffith’s Tip on Kind of Ball Stone Can’t Hit. Clarke Griffith once thought he discovered George Stone's batting weakness. One day Walter Clark- son worked against the Browns at New York and he had the great Stone on his staff, striking him out three times. Griffith was watching the proceedings closely and noticed that Clarkson used a low curve ball with telling effect on the St. Louis swatter. The best he did during the day was to make three or four good hard fouls. The following day Hogg was se- lected to work for New York, and Griffith’s parting instruction to the big fellow was to give |Stone nothing but a low curve ball at about the knee. Hogg followed in- structions and the result was that Stene secured five clean hits in as many times at the bat, hit- ting the ball that mystified him on the day preceding to all cor- ners of the lot. Of course, no one questioned Griffith's judgment. Al Orth worked the third game of the series, and as he left the bench he turned around to Grif- fith and with a half smile on his cxpansive countenance asked Griff if he would give Stone a low curve ball. Griff failed to reply, nor did he smile, but every other member of the New York team é laughed outright. o i _ HORSE.

ILLINOIS CRACKS DEFEAT ST. LEOS, CITY CHAMPIONS The Benld Il.) Association football team defeated the St. Leos team, which claims the local championship in a game played at Kulage Park yesterday after- noon by a score of 2 to 0. The Benld team early in the season scored a vic- tory over the best team in the Kulage Park League, but were later defeated by a picked team from the League. Yesterday the St. Leos were badly

j handicapped by the absence of Abstein from the lineup. Abstein was suffering from @ sore toe, and slight as the in- jury may seem, it meant considerable to a football player. Manager and Cap- tain Fullback Billy Klosterman played in the game, but was far from being at his best. The Scotchman, however, Played sterling football.

while the Missouri Pacific is entirely & Missouri line. Competition would de- mand that the interstate tickets be sold at the same rate as intra-state. This would apply also to passengers going from East St. Louis to Topeka, Kan., because the Interstate Commerce Com- mission has ruled that a railroad can- not make a higher through rate be- tween any two points than the sum of the two or more local rates. “Such conditions necessarily require careful investigation to determine the effect of the law. “A reply to the Inquiry as to what effect the reduced rates will have on service is difficult. The Frisco runs through the most sparsely settled sec- tion of Missour!. Aside from St. Louis and Kansas City. there are only two cities in the State on its line of more than 15.000 inhahitants, these excep- tions being Joplin and Springfield. At the same time. the service on the main lines of the Frisco is frequent and thor- oughly modern, and ample to take care of not only local, but interstate busi- ness, Question of Territory Traversed. ‘It fs a well-known fact and capable of proof by actual figures, that in a ter- ritory such as is traversed b-- the Fris- co, the passenger earnings do not pay expenses, consequently the question of service would really result from the con- sideration of just how much of its freight earnings the road can afford to divert to make up the losses of the passenger busineas. There seems to be a mistaken idea that railroads do not consider public ne- cessities. There is not a large railroad in Missouri or any other part of the United States which has not planned better and more convenient accommo- dations for the public. This can be con- sidered as a selfish motive, because they know that prosperity will result according to their good treatment and care of the public. Their limitations in tiis direction are only those of their earning capacity. Naturally, what af- fects one will affect the other. ‘Tt is difficult to locate any economies which can be brought about to offset the reduction in rates. The earnings on this line are being put back into the property in the way of additional power and equipment, heavier rail, stronger bridges, etc. Even in these prosperous years, dividends are not being paid in order that earnings can be spent to im- prove the property, and the resumption of dividends in the future is indefinite. With the continually Eevee’ prices for materia] and supplies and increase in wages of all classes of labor, it would not seem possible to even consider that any economy can be conceived which will in the slightest degree counteract the effect of lower rates. “Lacking full information on the subject, it is impossible to foretell whether legal action would be deemed advisable, as no railroad would want to enter into a controversy over a law without a full sense of justice in its position. Will Prevent Extensions. “It is safe to predict. however, that the recent laws which have been passed affecting the earning power of railroads wiil stop all contemplated action toward the extension of lines. The result will preseey be that com- petition will become closer in popu- lous districts where they are already well served and where large earnings are in prospect. There will be noth- ing attractive to the pioneer line to develop new territory. “The passenger rate will have no ef- fect on the freight business one way or the other, further than that future development will not be as broad with the falling off of ratiroad construc- tion into new territory. Investors naturally fieure that with such an arbitrary reduction in passenger rates, - is only a step naan qually arbi- ; reductions

Accuses President's Cousin of Libel, Special to the Post-Dispateh. NEW YORK, March developments are promised 25.—Sensational by counsel on each side in the controversies which have been taken into open court by the families of John E. Roosevelt, a cousin of President Roosevelt, and Constant A.

five months ago. Andrews, president of the United States Savings Bank. The latter’s lawyer made plain the inference that the litigation now under way may reveal secrets which will illuminate what at present appears to be an unfortunate tangle of money disputes and alleged love-making. An unexpected development was the filing of papers in the Supreme Court in a suit brought against Mrs. Roosevelt for $100,000 damages by Mrs. Hannah M. Klemme. Mrs. Klemme was employed formerly as housekeener and nurse in the Andrews home. Her husband is su- ing her for divorce. Justice Newburger to frame issues in the divorce suit so that the case may be tried before a jury. Constant A. Andrews is co- respondent. Mr. Andrews declares the al- legations of Klemme are false, and that Mrs. Klemme was his housekeeper. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Andrews mar- ried sisters, the Vance girls. Hannah Klemme charges Mrs. Roosevelt with libel in the $100,000 damage suit. Mr. Roosevelt's answer is a general denial of all the allegations made. The complaint sets forth that after Klemme brought the suit for divorce a reporter called on Mrs. Roosevelt to in- vestigate the truth of the charge against her brother-in-law, Mr. Andrews. It is alleged in the action that Mrs. Roosevelt told the reporter Mrs. Klemme ‘had been guilty of misconduct, and had given good grounds for divorce for that reason.’’ The complaint further alleges that “the defendant (Mrs. Roosevelt) made the false and libellous statement that she had known for some time of the alleged relations existing between the said Andrews and the plaintiff.”’ John E. Roosevelt, clubman and law- yer, {s indignant at the charge that he made love to his wife’s sister, Mrs. An- drews, who is now a patient in Dr. Flavius Packer's sanitarium. The letters which he wrote to Mrs. An- drews. he says, were perfectly proper. Mrs. Roosevelt indorsed her husband’s opinion of the letters. WENT TO FATHERLAND.

Policemen Wound Craps Shoot- * er Surprised Under a Box Car, Three policemen, who, according to their own statements, fired “straight up in the air,’”’ managed to wound a man who was crawling under a box car William Timke, thef wounded man, 18 at the City Hospital,’ his thigh fractured by a bullet. The policemen are Evans, Donaghue and Stephens of the Mag- nolia Avenue Station. Timke says he does not know who shot him. He was playing craps, he says, under a box car on the Missouri Pacific tracks near Talmage avenue with six men, when one of them whis- pered: “Cheese it; the cops!” He looked up and saw two policemen peep- ing under one side of the car, he says, and started to crawl Out at the other side, when there were shots, and he felt the sting of a bullet in his leg. The other men escaped. The policemen said they fired, but that they all pointed their weapons toward the sky. Three witnesses say that Evans was the only policeman who fired into the air, and that the other two stooped down and fired under the car. They are Mattie Kohl of 1439 Kentucky ave- nue and Andrew Todd and Rebecca Latham of 1441 Kentucky avenue, Four craps games in various parts of the city were raided Sunday night and several arrests made. Among. those taken were five boys, from 13 to 18 years old, who were found shooting craps at Van Buren and Marceau streets. TOO PRETTY TO RESIST. Mrs. Mary Israel’s Excuse for Taking Ring. Mrs. Mary Israel, aged 43, South Jefferson avenue, was charged Monday morning in an information is- sued by Assistant Circuit Attorney Ross- kopf, with the larceny last October of a $50 diamond ring from Mrs. Mary Hol- thaus of 2%2 Park avenue. Mrs. Israel was arrested last Satur- day, after two jewelers had reported to the police that she had tried to sell them an unset diamond. To officers who went to her home she showed the ring, from which the stone had been taken, and it was found to bear a mark which Mrs. Hokhaus had placed upon it for identification. Mrs. Isreal first said she had found the ring while digging in her garden, but finally admitted h@ving taken it be- cause, she said, it had such a/pretty stone she could not resist the fempta- tion. Mrs. Holthaus says that when the ring was stolen Mrs. Israel was the first one she told of the theft. Mrs. Israel informed her that she had seen a washerwoman leaving Mrs. Holthaus’ apartments, but the latter cleared her- self to Mrs. Holthaus’ satisfaction, and she had given the ring up for lost.

DEWEY AND WIFE TO MOVE. Latter Dissatisfied With House Presented With People. Snecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March %.—Admiral George Dewey and his wife are leaving the home in Rhode Island avenue, pre- sented to them by the contributions of the American people, to live in future at 1601 K street, the home of Mrs. Dewey before her marriage. Since her marriage to Admiral Dewey the K street house has been leased to former Senator Alger and later to the former Secretary E. A. Hitchcock, who has recently given up the place. It is | understood that none of the furnishings |of the Rhode Island ayenue house will be moved. Mrs. Dewey's home in K street is magnificently furnished and it is said that the Rhode Island avenue place will be leased furnished. Mrs. Dewey is said to be responsibie for the abandonment of the Rhode Isiand avenue house as their home. Her K street house is much nearer the resi- dence of her mother, and she likes that location better than the house presented hy the American people to her husband. The title to the Rhode Island avenue house stands in Mrs. Dewey's name,

The Municipal Assembly, before its final adjourn- ment, has an opportunity to round out its work by the adoption of two measures of prime importance

and great benefit to the city of St. Louis. One act , Pen % os te wg is the amending of the Manufacturers’ Railway bill in accordance with the suggestion of the Post-Dis- pateh, by inserting a provision prohibiting ° the charging of an arbitrary or toll on any bridge that _ may be built, acquired or controlled by the railroad and a provision for the reserving to the city of the privilege of purchasing the railroad at cost, with interest, at the end of a reasonable term of years— not longer than 35. The embodying of these amendments in the Manu- facturers’ Railway franchise would remove the ob- jectionable points in the present bill, which pro- for an arbitrary charge and for a perpetual charter, without any limitation whatsvever. The adoption of the proposed amendment would mark a Ogressive and beneficial departure from the usual form of franchise. While no time limit is to % “placed on the charter, the city is given the privi- lege of purchasing at any time after a term of years. , ae “The company will have a reasonable period in which 3 t tial headway, * 5 - to earn a profit on the investment and is guaran- _ teed the cost, with interest. The titimate control of the terminals projected by the company is as- ' sured the city. ‘The prohibition of an arbitrary in the event of _ the construction, purchase or control of the bridge places a ban on any arbitrary, avoids the incon- sistency of legalizing a new arbitrary while we are w vve old one and assures the abolition of all : should the bridge be built. These ! ents ‘would make the bill a measure of sound and of the greatest benefit to the city. z The bill ought to be amended and passed. In addition to passing the amended Manufac- turers’ Railway bill, the McKinley system’s fran- chise railway Dill should be ‘passed, opening to St. Louis a new, rich territo; » Both of these bills can be passed before the close of the session.

‘The Governor will have to kill ducks and bears as well as delude fish, if he is to make any presiden- ~ be i i _ SPRING SUITS AND THE LAW. ‘Thanks to a recent decision in the courts of Mis- ‘souri, we are permitt@d unusual latitude this year in the acquisition of spring clothes. A local clubman and his lawyer, after two years of unselfish fighting for a point which would ad- Vantage the mayy, have secured a ruling that mere-

ly to wear a new suit once or twice does not con- Mitute acceptance. The value of this decision is | . We can try the clothes on our friends. they find them conducive to wit and humor of bromide sort, we can return the clothes to the with the simple but sufficient explanation t our friends will not have them. This, of es will be interpreted by the courts as mean- , tha t the suit does not fit, or is not in the Courts have absolute confidence in the 1 capacity of one’s friends in such things. hey understand, too, that no man buys his spring t according to his own taste or desire, but that he selects it well aware that his friends will sit in final judgment upon it. Our wives may pass upon our ties, and our children may speak the last word eto the pattern of the paternal whiskers, if any, only our friends judge the new spring suit. If arbitrarily cast it into those utter recesses the wardrobe where the saber-toothed moth against the contingency of it coming, there nothing to do but resign it to that unhappy ‘Unless one knows about this new decision, is ‘The ‘aged inhabitatnt who says that the climate %* changing has a new start.

THE BUSINESS BASIS. The new “Phipps houses,” a sample of which has t been opened in one of the most crowded quar- of New York City, may or may not suit the nce of the tenants to whose ideas of con- enience they are intended to appeal. In that nt the tenants can move out after giving the é sui ! " notice. “It fs in this that the plan of the “Phipps houses” s superior to other plans for building houses in- 25a to elevate people who are supposed to need pe ‘¢ mitch worse than some other people. If this br} aT: a ve re the only point of superiority, it would still "he houses are built for business, on business | to yield a business income. When this come is in hand, it is to be used in building other vans of the same kind, or of some other kind hich will suit the taste and needs of the people has for its controlling idea the consideration for others which, are actually under stress of the nardest conditions, have tastes, feelings and wishes which are to ve considered at all times, not from the standpoint of lofty and condescending superiority, but of actual and genuine business equality. There will be no pretense of merely “sparing their feelings as ob- jects of charity,” for if they do not pay the rent, they expect to have to get out, and this they will have to do. What are called the “slums” of St. Louis, New York, Chicago and every other great American city might be made architecturally beautiful on this plan finally. From the start they might be made architecturally decent and attractive, with results shown in business percentages of rational profit on the investment. The great majority of people in what are called the “slums” are no more worthy to be treated as “objects of charity” than the great majority of people outside of the slums. Some are helpless, but not many. In and out of the “slums,” all people who are still normal and natural, need help from all other people, in the way of opportunity and respect- ful consideration. And when this comes through the “business basis,” it begins at once to change the worst possible into the best possible. __ = * weer If the present Legislature is the best the State ever had, much will be expected from its extra ses- sion.

renee OOO THE MUNICIPAL BRIDGE. The reasgps given by the Free Bridge Commission for the location of the municipal bridge at Chouteau convincing. The decision will. com- generally to the of St. Louis as excellent. The fact that the bridge can he built at Chouteau avenue ffor the amount of money provided in the bond issue is in itself determinative. And the other reasons—the convenience to Mill Creek Valley and the extension of the bridge system south, where there are no bridges—strengthen the conclusion. It is wise to have this preliminary work con- cluded in anticipation of a favorable decision by the Supreme Court on the question of the validity of the bonds. Nothing can be done except preparatory work until this question is settled. If the decis- ion is against the validity of the bonds, of course, the present ordinance providing for bonds for bridge purposes is void, and it will be necessary, if the bridge is to be built, to put through another bridge proposition amended in accordance with the court’s decision. -- If the decision shall be favorable, work on the bridge should be commenced at once. If not, a sound proposition should be drawn up and submitted to the people. We do not believe the people of St. Louis will consent now to give up their cherished project of a municipal bridge, no matter what ob- stacles may be in the way. No English woman suffrage, no deceased-wife’s- sister marriage and no tunnel under the English Channel. Surely England is fast asleep. avenue are mend _ itself people

AT THE FRONT OF PROGRESS. The very latest developments in the march of progress show that when St. Louis touches the but- ton for the start in the international aero races, we will be At the Front, not only as usual, but further than ever before. On behalf of officers of the Aero Club, who spent several hours last week cruising along the bottom of the Atlantic in a Government submarine boat, the “scientific secretary” of the club has issued an ex- planation showing how they expect to benefit the world by combining their activities at both top and bottom. It seems that at a certain elevation, what is going on below the surface, at the bottom or near it, be- comes clear as it is nowhere else. Hence, according to the scientific secretary of the Aero Club, when in the future of the progress of higher civilization, a great fleet of foreign submarine boats comes plow- ing to our coasts to uproot the Monroe Doctrine, or something else we wish to keep growing on its own roots for our own purposes, we will have a great fleet of aeromobiles, pterodactodynamiteabiles and other flying craft, poised in the air along the coast to show them what’s what at both top haa bottom of our side of this planet. This look into the future of higher civilization ought to fill even the gloomiest soul with cheer. In the glorious hereafter, we can select either the upper air and solar walk or the deep sea bottom and get such glorious thrills of the strenuous life as the highest strenuosity which now elevates and civilizes the lower races only suggests. In the meantime, it is almost corn-planting time in Missouri and there is a good deal of spring plow- ing to be done on the surface, with no more stren- uosity in it than a normal and steady Missouri mule is willing to indorse. Sanne od oh The utility of public utilities depends upon their ownership.

If the case of Peppers vs. Gudermuth goes to the higher or the highest courts of the State and the country, each one of them successively should up- hold the common, statute and higher law which has heen declared and vindicated by the trial court and jury in behalf of Peppers and versus Gudermuth, When the plaintiff was left standing at or near the altar, with her bridal veil and everything else in keeping with the occasion, all in order for the oc- casion, the recreant plaintiff disappeared. But in- stead of fading away, of dying of a broken heart or hiding her head in shame like a blighted flower, she went home, put on her everyday clothes and went about her everyday affairs as usual until the laggard-in-love was located by a court process. Then she appeared to collect from his visible property the expense she had been at in getting ready her trous- seau, with such actual and punitive damages as are ealeulated to impress respect both for statute and higher law. In Massachusetts, the plaintiff might have bought a pair of spectacles and spent the rest of her life in lecturing on psychology, leaving the defendant

to his own devices. In’ Kentucky she might have gone home and cried softly into the corner of her handkerchief, while her brothers, brothers-in-law and first and second cousins were strung out along the pike in pursuit of the defendant, who, in that OUR GREAT POLICE CHASE In Which a Post-Dispatch Artist Records His Impression of Everyone After the Next Man Ahead.

JUST A MINUTE With the Post-Dispatch ~ Poets and Humorssts.

THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS Written for the Post Dispatch By WALDO PONDRAY WARREN.

SPRING ON THE RIVER. There is music on the river Blowing far away and sweet, And the darkies are a-singing And a-shuffling with their feet— For the dismal winter's ended And the red light’s on the stack Of the packet in the night-time— And the boats are coming back. There are mellow bells resounding Where the running water sings, And the darkies are a-dancing And a-cutting pigeon-wings— For the pilot’s in the wheelhouse And the steamer’s on the tack Where the far shore light is gleaming, And the boats are coming back. There are flying paddles beating On the water far away, And the roustabout is singing His ecstatic roundelay— For the Captain’s on the texas And the green Hght’s on the stack Of the packet in the night-time— And the boats are coming back.

There is an odd combination of words in the name of the Square Deal Milk Company, an East St. Louls institution just incorporated in Ilinots. Bullfighting is the most popular sport in the world. It has more followers than baseball, exchanges more money than poker, and kills more people than automobiling. Will the President please investigate the price of Easter hats? A thing of beauty is a joy while it lasts. _— ——— ANSWERS. HOUSEWIFE—We do not know of any hair renewer that will restore the former glory of a hair brush.

ACK of success is largely the fruit of wasted opportunity. The men who .. will be most actively engaged in business affairs a few years hence are today going to school. ‘Khe average’ joung man in school does not in any practical degree appreciate what the. business world will require of him. For lack of that knowledge many young men now in‘school are wasting opportunities as recklessly as the man of sudden wealth who lights a cigaP with a twenty dollar bill. Opportunities that in a few years money cannot buy are daily and hourly thrown away by young men with a prodigality that saddens every business man who has come to realize what such opportunities would have meant to himself and others. A million unsuccessful men in business life call out in admonition to the young man who is not making the most of his opportunities today. A million “homes of want and vain regret cry out to the teachers in schools and colleges, beseeching them to labor assiduously to imbue their pupils with right ideas of work, education and purpose. But louder still is the cry that goes out to parents, whose children are to enter the arena of the world’s activity, im- ploring them to labor systematically and patiently to teach their boys and girls to love work for work’s sake, and to love knowledge for the good it can bring—and to use every opportunity to the utmost.

TRUTH ABOUT MAUD MULLER Incidents in the Life of a-Famous Woman in Make-Believe History Set Forth for the Post-Dispatch

By Margaret Rohe.

Sent 66 Wc was that old party I saw you with at the

foot of the hill?” asked Ma Muller, fixing Maud with a steely eye. “Oh, a cousin of mine—just a cousin of mine,” said Maud airily. “If you’d pay less attention to them penny arcades, with their low comic songs, and more to your household duties, you’d be a whole lot more popular with me,”’ said Ma Muller rebukingly. ) ete ‘Don't you sass your ma, miss,”’ said Pappy Muller fiercely. ‘‘Answer her proper when she asks you a ques- tion. Who was that old dub you was talking with?’’ “His first name’s Judge,”’ said Maud sulkily. “I was going ‘to tell you all about it if you’d given me half a chance. He’s a summer boarder, staying over to the’ ¢ Culpepper's. He's awful easy to get acquainted with.” “How did it happen?” asked Ma Muller. “Well,” said Maud, “I was walking along, attending to my own affairs, and all I did was to ask him if he could tel me the time, and with that the man spoke right out to me. He told me a lot of things besides the time. He asked me how it was I couldn’t make my eyes behave. and I told him to go away and roll his hoop. Then he satd he could get me in a Broadway mu- sical show if I would go to New York.” “IT hope yol called him down," said Pappy Muller. “Did 1?" said Maud. ‘Well, you ought to have heard me. In a Broadway show! The idea! I told him it was me at the head of my own musical comedy nothing.” : “That was right,” said Ma Muller. “He was too fresh.” “He got real mushy as we walked along,” said Maud. ‘‘He tried to squeeze my hand and he kept repeating a lot of poetry and soft stuff like that. He said he'd like to wander always down the lane of life with me, and I promised to remember it. He asked whether Pappy was a Democrat or a Republican, and he wanted to know what church Ma attended. He's coming over tonight to pay us a visit. I think I'll be out. I don’t love these old men.” “You'll be nothing of the sort,” said Pappy Muller, who didn’t have a bit more sense than a fox. “When Judge comes over you pin a rose on him and tell him he doesn't look a day over 35." “What's the idea?’ asked Maud. “Well.” said Pappy thoughfully, ‘it looks like Judge could be a heap sight more comfortable in this cottage than he is over to the Culpepper’s. We might as well get connected with that $8-a- week board money.” And so Judge came to board with Maud's folks and hung around all mer. Any other version of the affair is false and misleading and entitled consideration at the hands of intelligent readers.

The other night I was standing at the corner of Sixth and Olive, waiting for the car. In the doorway of a shoe store I saw a lot of boys playing craps. I suppose these Boys stay out and sleep in door- ways all night. One little boy came up to me, crying: “Mister, won’t you please give me a nickel? A fellow just took my carfare away from me.”’ I said, ‘“‘Where do you live?’’ He said **3200 Olive street.’’ I gave him a nickel. He had not gone 15 steps when I heard him call to another boy: ‘Here’s your nickel. Now don’t say I didn’t pay you.” M. W. G. no gestions and cri Post-Dispatch are

Filthy Cars. To the Editor of the Post-Dinpatch. I am a traveling saleswoman: have been inthe city two weeks, this being my first visit here. I was surprised to see the condition of the cars of this large city, compared to those of cities of less importance. I refer especially to the Spring avenue line, of which I am & patron. The seats are dusty, which ruin your apparel and gives you an un- sightly appearance. The windows are unclean, in fact the cars on this line are positively filthy, and if St. Lotis Wishes to reach the million mark she will have to wake up, get better service and clean cars. MEREDITH TROY. Wisconsin Mollycoddles. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The isconsin Legislature was con- sidering the appropriation of money for the Jamestown Exposition. But a mol- lycoddle named Thompson,’ a Socialist member, learning that Jamestown was to be “a glorification of war,’ made such an earnest appeal aganst the ap- propriation for such a purpose, that it was defeated. He said that war in this enlightened age is a relic of barbarism, utterly unnecessary, legalized murder, ete. That the glorification of war was a monstrous deception upon the people, and quoted Chauncey Depew to the ef- fect that wars are now waged merely to expand commercial markets. He pointed out that the $25,000 asked for could be used to better advantage to build schools, or create a park on the lake shore for the benefit of the slum children. What a shocking mollycoddle! And the other members were converted to mollycoddelsm by su fi fle, Wisconsin! Fares and Transfers, To the Editor of the Post-Disnatch. While all this talk about 3-cent fares Is going on let me say this: The public don't want to pay more for riding on the cars than they are now paying. The Street car company says it is wel- coming %-cent fares and that it will discontinue the transfer system. We ought to put a clause in our demand for é-cent fares—say 3 cents to ride without transfer or if a transfer is wanted pay 5 cents and get the transfer. I ride on the cars every day and wil say that if the 3-cent fare goes into effect I might have to pay 6 cents for the ride I pay 5 cents for now unless the company would issue a transfer on payment of 5 cents as above stated. TAX-PAYER. Prohibition Results. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch Allow me to express my just satisfac- tion at the stand you have taken In the Prohibition and excise law propositions. I know that I am voicing the sentiment of thousands of sensible citizens who have the welfare and prosperity of the city and State at heart. Prohibition would indeed be a disaster to this city and the State in general. While it has not improved morality in the States In which it exists, it has depreciated the value of property and decreased, or at least deterred the increase of popula- tion. Leavenworth, for instance, before rohibition was adopted by the State of Kansas, was a flourishing city. Whén LDOZER. uments.

the seg gy were aroused. “Good luck to a rave soul!’ I cried to myself. And then Lillian Russell, as the tiful and saucy young widow, Killigrew, came on tie stage, Waited to see if Blanciic Bates’ thumbs Were to point upward or downward in the final verdict. It was an interesting Blituation—no doubt about that. There wasn't the teast bid for pity or charity in the bright smile of recvog- Nition whieh the Widow Killigrew on the stage flashed at the Gir] of the en West In the box. It was a Very contident simiie, instead, almost a challenging, and the wonder of wonders Was that the Widow was really and truly just as the story requires her to be—beautiful and saucy and young. I gon't know how Miss Russel! does it; it’s none of my business, and I suppose it's distinctly rude to even so much as intimate that she is no longer young, but it is my bounden duty to chronicte the truth that she achieves youthfrul- mess. Audacity, too, the priceless and enerally exclusive possession of youth, s hers—bless your life, she laughs in old Father ‘Time's face as fearlessly as if she had him whipped to a standsiill, as indeed she seems to have. Just about that moment in the first act When we discover that the Eari of Dexminster and ‘Teddy Bacon and Jas- per Mailory and Pitney Killigrew and Augustus Tutwiler are each and all in love with the charming Betsy on the first day that she comes out of mourn- ing for the late Multimillionaire Killi- Brew-—and the gorgeous manner of her coming out justifics her nickname of ‘The Butte rfiy’—] heard Blanche Bates clapping her hands in the most spon- taneous and enthusiastic fashion. Look- ing more closely tney, I saw that she was achieving the applause with her thumbs up—and up tiey remained for the rest or the evening, It was victory for Lillian Russell—even the tallyho lourigh of trumpets from the top of 1er four-in-hand awaiting her in the Street outside toid us that. It would ever have sounded so blithely if there 1ad been a wrinkle on Lillian's face or in her comedy art. | It's true that “ihe Butterfly’ of Kel- lett Chambers’ writing is really more of a farce than a comedy, light and ortive of touch and frankly impossi- ble in spots, with exaggerated incidents and characters, and that no more is reauitred of the Widow Betsy than to look bewitching and bubble over with buovancy of spirit—but these are all things relished by the playgoing mullti- tudes, for which reason rhe Butter- fiv’’ fulfils its mission. At the same time. too, Miss Russell justifies her ad- venture into songiess comedy by mak- ing an undeniable hit with her audi- ences. She plays the Widow Betsy neatly, with preitw feather strokes of feminine fun, gleaming with mischief, finally falling in love with her second husband in the most captivating man- ner—and never once do we miss the music that formerly enveloved her, or wonder why the chorus and the funny man don't come on to give the prima donna a breathing spell. This is be- cause the erstwrile prima donna _ is now honestly a quite creditable come- dienne, making good her claim that she can -succeed without the aid of a li- brettist and win with the spoken line almost, {f not quite, as completely as in those of comic opera's trilling. It was a very interesting expe@sition § in- Geed. that made by Lillian Russell at the Olwmpic last nigwht—and I feel con- trained to join with Blanche Sates in ts applauding. The support extended to the star in this story of the young widow who sought to nnullify her deceased hus- hbahd'’s will by making what ‘change brokers would call a ‘wash’ wedding ani who suddenly found herself in love with the second husband whose originally in- tended use was merely to serve as a stepping stone to a third, is bright and capable in the main. Eugene Ormonde makes a likable and convincing Jasper Mallory. the Young second husband. The ever-relinble John Flood is pleasingly competent as Teddy Bacon, the ‘“‘gnod fellow’ chum and hopeless suitor pe the “dow Betsy. Fred IL. Tiden plays the role of the Karl of Dexminster quite neceptably in the play's first half, but hurlesques it a bit toward the close. The Pitney Killicrew of Grant Mitchell is a clever bit of character work. Miss Kate Griffith ae Mary O'Leary and Miss Isa- hel Richards as her prima donna daugh- ter, Madame Abaloni, do fairly well with the faree-comedy roles to which they are assigned, and Fred Tvler makes a conventional old legal = adviser, with farce trimmings, of the part of Augustus Tutwitler. Rut the refreshing wonder and novelty of the offering ts Lillian Russell herself —fiilian Russell. comedienne, if vou se, who can sing and won't sing just cause she took it into her head to prove that she can act as well as sing PLEY D.
