Agreement Proposed Binding Manufacturers’ Railway to Accept Them if Maile. Mayor Wells told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that he would gladly comply with the request of the promoters of the Manufacturers’ Ratiway Co. to recommend to the new Municipal As- sembly the passage of the Ments, suggested by the Post-Dispatch and approved by business organiza- tions and the Busch interests, but Which by accident failed of adoption by the House of Delegates. The amendments provide that the city may acquire the .railway at the expiration of the 35-year franchise at the actual! cost of the lines and equip- ment with 6 per cent interest added, and that no arbitrary bridge charge on freight shall be made in the event of the Manufacturers’ Railway Co. at es me building or. acquiring a e. After the passage of the Busch bill by the House of Delegates Wednes- day at noon, the amendments being Omitted, through an _ error, it Benjamin Schnurmacher Hawes, counsel called on Mayor told him thet August A. Busch wanted to file an agreement with the Mayor that he avould accept at any time the amendments suggested by the Post-Dispatch and that the @greement woul be accompanied by bond and a request that the Mayor nelude in his message to the new As- sembl a recommendation that the amendments be adopted as early as ble. Mayor Wells told Hawes and nurmacher that he approved the course and would do as suggested. Mayor Wells has already told friends that he would sign the Busch bill when it was laid on his table. The bill, with an amendment requiring the lway company to pay for a tunnel Convent street, will be approved by the Council Thursday attersioon, it is believed, and signed by President For- man of the Council and Speaker O’Brien, going Friday to the Mayor for his approval. i Agreement Proposed, Hawes and Schnurmacher called on City Counselor Bates Wednesday aft- ernoon and asked his opinion on a pro- ceeding to attach the amendment to the bill at the present session, but was informed that it was tmpossible to do this unless the minutes of the House could be changed Thursday to include the amendments. He said a majority of the members of the House could say that they understood that the amend- ments had been adopted during the nn Wednesday and order the clerk correct the minutes to include them. The Busch interests, fearing that this would be impossible, decided to file mM agreement with the Mayor and wait untill a new Assembly acted upon the amendments. The route of the Manufacturers’ Ratiway ©o. begins at Second street, Near Utah street, runs in a southerly direction to the city limit line, about 40h feet west of Morganford road. t gontinues through Deikalb sireet to Prefident street, and across Cherokee Sireet, Zepp, Potomac cand President streets and across private property to Kosciusko street, along Kosciusko and across private property, across Keokuk street, Marine, Wisconsin and Illinois @venues, and Osage street, into Mis- avenue and on Missouri avenue to Hickman street.

Gang Tried to Reform Him With a Brick, “Tough” Noonan, “Jim” Miller, “Ollie” Miller, ““Dago"’ Jones and ‘‘Red” Wheel- er, constituting ‘“‘de gang,.’’ decided in convention assembled that the puritan- ism of Willie Coleman, so reproachful to the practices of the “gang."’ could no longer be tolerated. None of them is more than 17 years old. “Say, fellers, dat guy a cigarette!’ éxclaimed “Tough,” in horror. “That's nothin’,” said “Ollie.” “De little stiff toined me down when I asked him to have a whisky.” “De woilst is yet to come,” said “Dago.”” “Do you know de mollyooddle Stuck his fists in his pockets and said: ‘T'li be switched if 1 do!’ when I give him an invite to shoot some craps?” The “gang voted then and there to reform Willie, and adjourned to the rear of the restaurant on North Fifteenth street, where he washes dishes for a living. This was late Wednesday night. But Willie, Who looks 12 Instead of 14 ‘ears old—has a will of his own. He re- used “de gang's” invitation to ‘‘come out and be made a man of.” So “Tough” threw a cup of water in Willie's face. Whiille replied with a bucket of water, which drenched his tempters, They withdrew, and later “Tough” went again to the back door and calied Willie out to kiss and make When the too confidfhe Willie thrust his head out of the door, he was saluted brick, Which struck him over He fell bleedin

He had said nothing, however, to indicate that he contem- plated suicide, Only yesterday he was discussing the baseball outlook with several of his fellow guests at the hotel, and during the “fanning bee he did not seem to be unusually de- pressed. He read the newspapers assiduous- ly and kept closely in touch with the training affairs of the various base- ball teams. He wrote many letters, but so far as can be ascertained he left no. line to explain why he ended hig career. The body will be held here pending word from his relatives. Stahl for- merly lived in Fort Wayne, Ind., and it is probable that the body will be sent there for burial. “Chick” Stahl was a product of tne minor leagues, but has played ball with Boston continuously for about 10 years. He went to the Hub from Buffalo. Stahl was married a few months ago and this winter was made manager Ol the Boston American team in place ol Jimmy Collins, About a week ago he resigned from the position, declaring that he was having too much trouble getting the team into shape. In a letter written just a few days ago to a friend in St. Louis, Stahl declared that he had worried over the team until it was im- possible for him to sleep at night, but that he hoped to be better off with the cares of a manager removed. “Chick” Stahl was no relation to Jake Stahl, the Washington ball player.

On Friday, however, she gave to the farm three handsome calves, each a replica of herself, and then became sO angry over it that she kicked every- thing and everybody that came near er. One of the calves was killed and then she began to feel better and yesterday was willing to allow the farmhinds to pass by her if they kept their distance. It was contemplated killing another of the trio for the sake of peace in the family, but this was abandoned before it was attempted and Buttercup will be obliged to support her offspring whether she likes it or not.

Says She Loved Him, but That He Discouraged Thought of Marriage. “Oh, why didn't they let me die?’ wailed Wilhelmina Elsie Baluka in a ceil in the observa .on ward of the City Hospital Thursda’. f/f Crazed by her seemingly hopeless love for her rich employer, Max Tamm, with whom she had kept a tryst in Benton Park, Miss Baluka, in th@ presence of Tamm, leaped into tae par« lake at 9:3 p. m. Wednesday. Tamm plunged in after her. When three young men_had helped him to drag the young woman from the water, Tamm hurried trom the park and went to his home, 4052 Forest Park boulevard. He was arrested there later and detained at the Wyoming Street Police Station un- til Thursday, when he was released. He is 56 years old, a bachelor and president of the Tamm Bros. Glue Co., at Manchester and Sarpy avenues, Miss Baluka will be 21 years old next Sunday. For two years she has been employed as bookkeeper and confiden- tial stenographer in Tamm’s office. He home is with her parents at 300 St. George street. Her leap into the lake followed a scene at the office Wednesday afternoon when, according to Tamm’s statement, he told her that she must give up all thought of love for him and must keep to her place as an employe. The girl acknowledges that she was in love with Tamm. Ta a Post-Dis- patch reporter at the City Hospital Thursday, she said: ‘lL was crazy in love with my boss. Mr. Tamm, and was foolish enough to tell him so.”’ Rebuffed When She Told Love. This avowal of her affection, as she remembers it, was made in Tamm’s of- fice Wednesday afternoon. _ Then followed Tamm’'s cool reminder that-she was nothing more to him than an employe.

POINTED OUT GANG

Witness in Foley Trial Identi- fies Men Allied With Sta-. . pleton’s Assailant. A half-dozen men among the specta- tors in Judge Sale’s court were pointed out as members of ‘‘the Bottoms gang”’ by Henry Martina, a witness for the State in the trial of Tony Foley Thurs- aay Foley is charged with assault to kill Patrolman Patrick Stapleton, who was beaten by voung men, said to be members of ‘‘the Bottoms gang.”’ The assault on Stapleton was made after he had arrested Foley, on Frank- lin avenue, near Twenty-third street, just before midnight Feb. 9. Stapleton on the stand told of the circumstances leading up to the arrest and assault. “I was at the corner of ‘bwenty-tinrd street and Franklin avenue just before midnight,’’ said he, ‘‘when Foley and about a dozen other members of his gang came out of a saloon on the cor- ner. They were using very vile lan- guage. I told them to stop it and move on. They began to curse again and I told thera J weuld arrest them if they did not get away from that corncr. “As I walked away one of them said, ‘Give it to the —— —— —.’ Before I could turn they jumped me. I was knocked down and as I rose I pulled my pistol. They saw the move and started to run east. I fired two shots at them as I ran after them. Scized, Beaten and Shot “After a chase of half a block I caught Tony Foley. I led him back to Twenty-third street and as I passed the cornr, nolding Foley with my left hand in which I had my night sticx and with my revolver in my right, one of the crowd pinioned my arms to my side. Foley reached arvund and grabbed the pistol. I was thrown to the street and one of the gang struck me with something. Tony, who had run about half way across the street, turned and fired a shot point blank at me. They then ran. ; Ss Ton At, into the saloon opposite the one from which they emerged and met Jerry, the bartender, at the door. He had heard the shooting and had a revolver in his hand which he gave me. I then called up the station (Dayton Street) and reported the matter to the Lieutenant. He sent other policemen to help me find the men and arrest them. We got most of them and locked them up.’’ On cross-examination Attorney Harry Walsh, for the defense, asked the po- liceman if it was not true that, while he was leading Foley to the patrol box he did not have the revolver pressed to Foley’s stomach, threatening to shoot him and that Foley took the Weapon away from him for self-protection. Stapleton denied this. The next witness called was Henry Martina of 2011 Franklin avenue, who during his testimony, pointed out gang members. Pickpockets Are Bold. John C. Roberts, 519A Fairmount avenue, told the police of the Deer Street District Wednesday evening that he had witnessed the operations of a pair of pickpockets on an Bighteenth street car. According to Roberts, two men boarded the car at Olive and Eighteenth streets and began jostling the other passengers. An intoxicated man boarded the car. and by falling up agninst the pickpockets proved “easy picking’’ for them. They searched every pocket In his clothes, Roberts said. A!l the while Roberts was looking for a policeman, but saw none. The pick- pockets left the car at Wash street, seven blocks from where they had boarded it. Roberts gave the police de- tailed description of the men.

Last March 200 cars ef potatoes ‘holding 39,465 — busheis were shipped into the city; in April, 1906, 187 cars, containing 38,274 bush- els, were received.

The bill was rushed through the Senate and House in a few minutes and has gone to the Governor for signature. The bill ap- plies to tenpin alleys and other games which have heretofore been considered comparatively harmless.

German Official Spent Long Time Perfecting Mechanism. The works of a clock have a mysteri- ous fascination for the average layman, says the Horological Review. _The tire- less, independent movement imparts to the works of a clock some of the at- tributes of a living being. In the case of those having a gift for mechanics, interests in clocks results in attempts to accomplish something extraordinary in this fleld. It can be .-adily under- stood that when this tendency is not accompanied by scientific mechanical training nothing in the direction of per- fection of the time measure is to be ted. The effort in such cases is usually expended in the employment of | the clockwork, with such auxiliary | mechanism as may be required for the! purpose, for the operation of all sorts! of figures. and this has _ occasionally given birth to entirely original, unique works of art. Such a contrivance is the so-called “Twelve Aposties Clock,” the work of a frontier official, Herr Stolz of Fende- nirk (Province Brandenburg), Germany, who spent more than three years jn its construction. Under the tower there is a spring regulator movement, from which a ham- mer rod is carried to the angel figure under the tower, which strikes the hours on the large suspended bell. There are in addition a number of .ther fig- ures, which are set in motion by a spe- 1 train and spring. The clock operates as follows: After

~ WORSHIPS ELEPHANT p= = wre

Subjects, Adheres to Strange Custom of Forefathers, in HE present King of Siam, who was reared in a semi-English environ- ment and who has traveled much in Europe, recently bowed down to the old Siamese custom of doing homage to “~ @ white elephant. : He took part in the ceremonies as a concession to the people and because of his unwillingness to break too abruptly with old custom. *' To many, Siam is known only as the home of the white elephant and the ' famous twins, Yet ft is one of the most imjependent countries of Asia and, up- like Persia and China, is not under the finuncial domination of any European _. power. *- It is a prosperous little monarchy and i fhas become so up-to-date in some com- ' mercial activities that much of the pie- ii. Turesque national Hfe is being swept ~ a@way. ** ‘he King of Siam is the only Buddhist S2?sovereign and is a defender of this faith. Eliza R. Scidmore in ‘‘The World of Today’’ says that, in the Twelfth cetitury, Siam’ was called upon to re- form the corrupted Buddhism of Ceylon _ end restore it again to its original char- acter. This writer continues: * “Siamese pilgrims are always to be found at the oldest of the Buddhist ; . Shrines In India and Ceylon. “When the tomb of Buddha was found _ on the Nepal frontier of India and the Sistone coffin opened, the most precious ., | relics were sent to the King of Siam, Yn recognition of his leadership in the -* Buddhist world. bys . Modern Methods Used, “— “With the King and Queen and all of Reverencing Animal Typifying Industrial Influence. methods of locomotion, the white ele- phant is becoming an affair de luxe in the land where it has been most hon- ored. Yet the elephant is a utility that steam and electricity can not replace in the great teak industry of Siam. The huse, benevolent creatures go about their work silently and methodically, just flapping an ear and winking little eves. “They train themselves. The new ar- rival is sent into the lumber yards or mill with a trained elephant. It trudges alongside and watches for awhile and then begins to lift, and lay, and push. The Siamese elephants are captured wild. All new elephants are the prop- erty of the King, to be disposed of offi- claily whenever caught. Their present value is from $2000 to $2500 each. Giving Elephant Baths. “The elephant’s intuitive faculty is strong, and in a new environment, with food and baths, careful oiling and groom- ing, he soon becomes a useful member of the industrial body. These big vege- tarians live on hay, grain, green fodder, bananas and rice, and to keep in good condition must have frequent baths. “The keepers scrub them with the husks of kitul palm, or with brushes as coarse and stiff as street brooms; and as black toes are great points. of beauty and highly desirable, the beasts get manicure attention for their 20 nails with a stout shoe brush. Even in the teak forests an elephant without a tail is treated disresnectfully by his fel- lows. The appearance of all of the ele-

phants which have been tamed is im- preved by the application of oil to thelr skins every few days.”’ J

Qnce Had to Go to Sena- tor for Favors, : core Wire From the Washington Bureau thé Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 28.—President Roosevelt has accepted Senator Fora- ker’s challenge on behalf of Secretary Taft and has expressed himself as be- -ing glad that the senior Senator from =, has been “smoked out,’ as he "Put it. ' The President believes that a majority mot the Republicans of Ohio are with ‘Pim and wilf support any candidate We indorses for the atheldency. He ‘Télies on his own popularity to pull yBecretary Taft through and give him % majority of the delegates at the _ municipal elections in the State in No- ’ vember next. - The President has been ) that the Foraker-Dick machine not built on a-firm foundation and that it will be no hard task to over- _. throw it. - Friends of the President say that he * will be the issue and that the Re- Sg fr pie of Ohio will be called upon ‘to indorse his acts by voting for dele- of refusing an indorsement by support- Senator Foraker. nator Foraker said today that he tt would abide absolutely by the action ~~.» Of the primaries. He realizes that if he wins and defeats Roosevelt in his ~ own State it will make him the most » formidable candidate of the “‘conserva- Republicans for the presidency. In order to take this chance he is will- ing to sacrifice the senatorship, for, _. if defeated in the primaries, he cannot | for re-election to the Senate. . The confidence felt by Senator For- “ aker in the result t .shared by his ¥ friends. They point out that although ' this is the first time he has actually ?. the Republican machine with him, has repeatedly won out. The ad- nistration influence will undoubted- : be thrown to Representative Theo- _ Gore E. Burton for senatorship to succeed Senator Fo er. Senator For- aker will personally canvass the State -and will challenge Secretary Taft to int debates. The Secretary of War ng an avowed presidential candi- , his friends say, will not be able ‘tO g0 about the State electioneering nd this duty will devolve largely upon representative Burton, himseli a force- and a convinci speaker. -The three men who are to oppose er tor Foraker are really utter ob- ations to him. Secretary Taft's first blic office was a judgeship which © obtained through the influence of enator Foraker in 1888. Representative eurton, three years ago, wanted to me to the United States Senate to Becceed Senator Hanna. In the fight ' ween Burton and Dick, Senator For- tr was Burton's staunch friend and “phe vote of every Foraker man in the S2@eisiature was thrown to Burton. Sen- “Stor Foraker at that time was not a 2 of the a, te machine, which a then dominated by Senator Dick

the successor of Senator Hanna. uring the strenuous times in 1903, Soraker was Roosevelt's most conspic- “uous and strongest supporter in Ohio. _#ad it not been for him it is e than ikely that Ohio would have indorsed the candidacy of Senator Hanna. Poll- ‘ticians here expect that the campaign in Ohio this year will be the hottest ever had in the State.

TRE ORE DEVOTION. * irst St. Louis Observance at the College Church. For three hours Good Friday after- neon, from noon until 3 dclock, the oO of St. Francis Xavier Church (College) will be closed while for the time in St. Louis the devotion of Tre Ore or Three Hours’ Agony is No one will be permitted to or leave the church, in order that may be no Mestraction from the | fore the large crucifix while the choir sings an anthem. ; The discourses which will follow will be upon these words: ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, “This day thou shalt be with me _ in Paradise,”’ ‘‘Behold thy mother! Be- hold they son,” ‘““My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!’’ “I thirst, “It is consummated,”’ ‘Father, into thy | hands I commend my spirit.’’ One of the prayers said will be a lit- any which begins with the treason of Judas and ends with the death on Cal- vary. The Stabat Mater will be sung by congregation and choir after the dis- course upon the third word, the De Pro- fundis will follow the discourse upon the fourth word and a prayer composed by St. Pius V will be said after the sixth discourse. When the final prayer has been re- peated by clergy and congregation the celebrant will go to the foot of the altar and incense the relic of the cross, while the choir sings “Oh, Faithful Cross.” He will bless the congregation with the relic and the clergy will depart from the sanctuary in silence. In order that those Who wish to visit the cross, which is exposed in Catholic churches on Good Friday, may not be inconvenienced by this special devotion, the cross will be placed in the lower church, the doors of which will be open all day until 6 o'clock in the evening.

STOLE TO AID BROTHER. Girl Admits Taking $250 From Postoffice. PITTSBURG, March 28.—“I haven't got the money. I sent $250 to my brother Willie, who is in jail at Wichita, Kan.,” cried 18-year-old Nellie Smith § this morning when arraigned before United States Commissioner Lindsey, charged with embezzling $247.33 from the branch post office at Penn avenue and Twenty- eighth street. She is also alleged to have taken $110 from the cash drawer of the P. C. Schilling drug store, in which the branch post office is ocated. The girl was arrested at the Alta- mont, Hotel, Altoona, last night by Deputy Marshal He ‘nry and Post Office Inspector Craighead and at ence ad- mitted her guilt. She broke down com- pletey and declared that she had taken the money to help her brother, who is in trouble. Miss Smith was penniless when found by the officers and was suffering from hunger. After being brought here by the Fed- eral officers, tite girl was allowed to £o to the home of her brother-in-law, George Cruso, 7617 Susquehanna streei, and spent the night there. Today he procured her release in $500 bai. Miss Smith had worked at the post office for several months and it was not until a week ago that she was first suspected of extracting money from registered letters. Saturday morning she did not come to work and a few hours later the extent of her peculations were_ ecovered.

New York Bank Assign NEW YORK, March 27.—The gga Banking Co. today assigned for the ben- efit of creditors to George C. Austin. The two members of the company afte George 8S. Edgell and Austin Corbin. Mr. Edgell is president and Mr. Cor- bin vice-president of the Manhattan Beach Hotel and Land Co. At the office of the company the fol- lowing statement was given out: “The Corbin |Banking Co. is a firm of private bankers, consisting of George E. Edgell and Austin Corbin. The as- sets exceed the liabilitles by over $1,- 000,000. The principal assets consist of valuable real estate, which could not be sold except at a sacrifice in time to meet maturing obligations. The mem- bers of the firm deemed it best for the ereditors, therefore, that they should make an assignment. The creditors will undoubtedly be paid in full.’ The Corbin Banking Co. was estab- lished by the late Austin Corbin Sr., who was for many vears the controlling iIn- fluence in the Long Island Railroad Co.

Oll Tank Threatened. Fire in a box ear, coupled to an oil tank car under the Eighteenth street viaduct shortly before 5 a. m. Thursday, gave the Fire Department dangerous work. The flames from the burning car flared over the oil tank, threatening an explosion. A crowd of epectators which gathered on the via- duct overhead was driven back by the police. The fire in the box car was extinguished before the flames reached the oil. The damage was

ILLINOIS WANTS DOSEVELT SPEECH President Asked to Deciare Railroad Policy at Spring- field Meeting, By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 28.—A general invitation has been extended to railroad officials throughout the United States by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion to come to Washington and confer with that body with a view to deciding on a policy of legislation for more g0V- ernmental control over the roads to save them from the diverse action of the State legislatures and to restore public confidence in railread investments. _ “The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion will be glad to see railroad otffi- cials from any section of the country or from all parts of the United States, said Commissioner Lane, ‘‘for the pur- pose of discussing with them proposed governmental control of such a charac- ter that it will not be tabutious to the interests of the railroads. The whole Interstate Commerce Commission feels that way.’ The statement practically comes from President Rogsevelt, as Commissioner Lane has conferred with him every day for the last fortnight and he reflects the Presjdent’s views. The railroad sit- uation Was gone Over again last night by the President, Secretary telyou, Secretary Garfield, Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, who was called in be- cause of his knowledge of financial con- ditions in New York, having been a partner of J. P. Morgan & Co +i Ao * Kellogg and Interstate Commerce Com- missioners Kanpp, Clements, Lane Clark and Harlan, Cmmissioners Prouty and Cockrell being out of the city. Marvin Hughitt of Chicago, president of the Northwestern read, has arrived to see the President today. President Roosevelt now has under consideration a proposition to make an authentic an- nouncement of his policy with regard to the railroads so as to put a stop to the agitation which has disturbed the rail- roads and the stock market. Illinois Wants Speech. A committee representing the IIl- nois Manufacturers’ Association told the President they feared an indus- trial panic unless some assurances are given the country by President Roose- velt. They were assured that the country had nothing to fear and were advised that the President would take the matter of making a public ad- dress under advisement,

He was invited to announce his pol- address to be. dotieused at of the “linols peti. ing wil] be fixed to suit the conveni- ence of the President. He will decide within three or four days whether or not ‘he will attend the convention and make an address which will have a calming effect. President Roosevelt practically has decided to temrer the vigor of his railroad policy, and while it would not be. correct to say that Mr. Roose- velt has stopped his campaign against the railroads, these corporations will not have such a hard time in the im- mediate future. There will be a small number of prosecutions brought in the future, One reason being that the Interstate Commerce Commission is utterly swamped by work, and no new prosecutions can be inaugurated. This does not apply to the Harriman merger, as that case will be pushed. President Roosevelt has become con- vinced that unless there is a cessation of the agitation against the railroads the country will be visited by a dis- astrous industrial panic. The Presi- dent wished to avert this calamity, as he sees clearly that if a panic occurs during his administration he will be the greatest loser. For these reasons he is willing to do something to re- store confidence.

nd SMITH’S DEATH MAY SWING CONTROL OF THE MILWAUKEE ROAD

oo ae New York Capitalist, Who Died in Japan on His Honeymoon, Had Held Balance of Power in Northwestern Line—His Widow, Who Was Mrs. Rhinelander Stewart, Inherits Vast Estate. NEW YORKK, March 28.—James one of the ten richest men in the w orld. Henry Smith, who died in Japan, was He was on his honeymoon trip. On Sept. 13 last he married Mrs. Anhie M. Armstrong Stewart, who got a divorce from her husband, William Rhinelander Stewart, at Sioux Falls, 8S. .D, Aug. 24, just 20 days prior to her marriage to Mr. Smith. By the deata of her husband, Mrs. Smith, if she inherits all of the estate, mes one of the richest widows in the world. Mrs. Hetty Green and Mrs. Russeli Sage are about the on:y two who have greater wealth. Mrs. Stewart came déast immediately On obtaining her divorce, sailed for Burope and traveled north to the Scotch Highiands, where her sister, Mrs. An- thony J. Drexel, had a shooting box. There the gs00n as legally possible thereafter the wedding was celebrated. The fact that their wedding day came on thé isin of the month did not affect the bride ll bridegroom, who laughingly charac- the forebodings of the supersti- lone as absurd. Since their wedding in Scotland neither . nor Mrs. Smith had been in New York and there had been some specula- tion as to how the bride would be re- ceived by the smart set. The Rhine- lander fumily, with which her former husband is connected, is one of tne most powerful, soc! tally, in the city. Mr. Stewart's extensive family connections regarded his wife's suit for divorce with exireme disfavor and her subsequent hurried marriage to the richest buche- lor in the United States with something more than disfavor. The Stewarts hive two children, a son and daughter, both grown. Their divorce separated the chil- dren, the daughter, Miss Anita, going with the mother and the son remaining with his father. Large Diamond Collection. Mrs. James Henry Smith has one of the most valuable collections of dia- monds owned by any woman in the world. Her wedding gifts from her hus- band were a superb necklace and a cor- Sage decoration, the stones in which cost Mr. Smith $500,000. When she re- turns to America she will have to pay $300,000 duty if she brings all her jewels with her. In the collection is a dog collar sev- @ral strands deep, from which depends a drapery of strings of diamonds. More than a dozen of these strands fall c ose- ly over the shoulders at the edge of the corsage. In this combination of dog collar and necklace are 200) diamonds of karat each, their total value being One of the arm ornaments is a diamond serpent, coiled seven times around the arm from the shoulder to below the elbow. The eves of the ser-| pent are pigeon-blood rubies. The value of the stones is $250,000. There are In New York only two women whose jew- els exceed in value those of Mrs. Smith. They are Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Frederic Pearson. The latter's collection of per- acs pearls hus been appraised at $1,- Men familiar with the affairs of James : Henry Smith estimated his fortune ves- terdav at from $75,000.000 to $80.000,000. In 1899 he inherited $56,000,000 in one lump from his eccentric old uncle, George Smith; who died in London Oct. 7 of that year. Mr. Smith had between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 before his uncle ’ died. The securities in which the bulk ~ ~~ Bikes we, - Was too weak of the operation. _. the widow to this country. ~ n of “Cincinnati, father of the - Buches has arranged to go to San _ of the estate are invested have increased - tremendously in value in the past seven years, and, though Mr. Smith has spent enormous sums entertaining, his ex- nditures have been but a fraction of is income, It is supposed that following his mar- riage in September last ‘‘Silent’’ Smith drew up the will in London and made the provision he had decided upon for his wife. He leaves no other near rela- tive, except one sister, who is the wife of Sir George Alexander Cooper, Elgin, England. With Mr. and Mrs. Smith at ' Kioto. Japan, were the Duke and Duch- ess of Manchester. The news of Mr. Smith’s death was not altogether unexpected, as a cable- gram was received two days ago, say- ing he was dangerously ill and had been operated on. He had been afflicted with a malady of the heart for some time and it is supposed that the organ to withstand the effects It is proposed to bring Mr. Smith's y home on a steamer which leaves okohama April 10. The Duke and chess of Manchester will accompany Eugene Zim- neisco in his private car to meet the party and bring them across the _ country to New York, News of Mr. Smith's death was cabled freih here to his brother-in-law, Sir ree Cooper, and the Baronet and dy Cooper are expected to be here in time for the funeral services in this elty. Pending the arrival of Sir George r, no official statement concern- {ng the estate or its disposition will be made. Mr. Smith's chief representative _ here is Herman F. Leroy. Smith's Early Life. “sitient’ Smith was 53 years old. He was born in Illinois, educated in Eng- stand in King's College, and was then gent by his uncle to New York, where he went through the Columbia Law “ _ Behool and in time was admitted to the He was never a prractitioner In ‘the courts. His uncle's financial repre- pentative here was Peter Geddes. After — “Silent” Smith was admitted to the bar QR ine firm - Mr des & Smith was formed. of a x Geades attended to financial mat- ters and ‘Silent’ Smith to whatever legal way in connection cam in a os hye He was also tutored with the estate. ri ) an the art of finance by Geddes. — Leo before he died in 1899, at the 91, the elder Smith had decided , to leave nearly all of his wealth to his hew, James Henry. It is related of who was a close-fisted : Smith, man, who limited his living expenses to shillings a day, that he once said of Sh ne “James is one of the few mo y ‘ know who is fit to handle = money. He comes of the same good, old ; F stock that I do, and there is no one bet- of for getting money and holding on- This pictured James Henry Smith as Desinothing of a miser, tue very thing he ~ ‘Was not. . more In the past five years he spent money, perhaps, than any other “yich man in the country.

ings, was thrown upon the market, Smith became the purchaser, paying about $2,000,000 for the house and all it contained. Gave Many Entertainments. Then he gave a series of splendid en- tertainments. Mrs. William Rhineland- er Stewart was conspicuous at all of these affairs. Mr. Stewart is a scrious, Studious man, who had little liking for ‘smart set,”’ while his wife was fond of society. Mrs. Stewart aided Mr. Smith in devising unique functions for the amusement of his friends, and, whenevefhe took a large party ona jaunt through the coun- try, she was always one of his guests. Frequently her daughter, Miss Anita, was a metniber of the party. More than a year before Mrs. Stewart obtained her divorce it was frequently rumored both in this country and abroad that she would some day marry “‘Silent’’ Smith. Several times he had to deny teports of his engagement to various women. When news of his marriage to Mrs. Stewart was finally cabled to this country, it occasioned no surprise. Wall street was chiefly interested yes- terday in guessing what would become of “‘Silent’’ Smith’s stock in the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. His holdings have for years been the balance of ,power in control of ‘the road, and more to him than to anybody else was due the fact that it remained ar. independent property. Six years ago James J. Hill tried to get control of it, but Mr. refused to part with his holdings price and blocked the scheme. Later E. H. Harriman tried to get control, but he was blocked in the same way. H. H. Rogers and William Rockefeller had bougnt heavily into the property and were willing to swing their shares into a pool which would have given Harriman control, but when Mr. Smith refused to sell, the whole plan fell through. Whether the St. Paul stock will go upon the market will depend/on the heirs named by Mr. Smith in Ais will. It is not regarded as improbable that the document will be found to contain a provision request- ing that the St. Paul stock be held in- ac This block of St. Paul stock was the dearest possession of the old uncle, George Smith, who was called ‘‘Chica- gx0"’ Smithe He was one of the original stockholders of the road and had helped to finance it in his early days. Mr. Smith was a queer cnaracter. He came to this country in 1834, and going West, bought a lot of land where Mii- waukee now stands. He sold out ata tremendous profit and went to Chicago where he started the first banking house there under the firm name of George Smith & Co. The Northwestern Nation- al Bank was the outgrowth of that firm. He bouht real estate in Chicago and made millions. He bought immense blocks of bonds of Southern states and of South American countries at a frac- tion of their par value and sold them at par. He was almost a magician in money- making ventures and the next thing to a miser when it came to spend- ing anything.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, RICHMOND, Va., March 28.—Mrs. C. P. Lewis of North Twenty-seventh street is in a critical condition at the Virginia Hospital as the result of a very peculiar accident. She was in her own yard and in the act of plac- ing some clothes on a line to dry, when, instead of using the ordinary ‘clothes pins to fasten them on the line, she used the common brass household ar- ticles. WZhese she carried in her mouth. She sneezed suddenly, and in doing so swallowed at least half a dozen of the pins. A physician was immediately called and the woman sent to the hosottal. where she is suffering intense agony. It was stated at the nospital that no operation had yet been performed. It was acknowledged, however, that the condition of the woman was critical. The X-ray will be used in an endeavor to locate the foreign articles. Smith at any

eee Tp GIVE PARIS FUEL i. - Over 45,000 Acres Annually Stripped of Trees for . Firewood.

COAL IS TOO EXPENSIVE

ve Systematic Control of Water- ways Aids Marketing the Aznual Supply. Despite al’ modern improvements Paris still meats its offices and its houses to a large extent with wood. Its bakers and confectioners use hardly ara else for fuel. It burns up whole forests of timber every year, and extensive forests in several regions of France are reserved for supplying it with fuel. Coal is scarce in France and dear, and not of very good quality. Besides, the Parisians are conservative in home Matters. The cheery appearance of the Fowing log on the hearth appeals to hem, and most likely generations will before they give up burning wood Itogether. Although the consumption has de- tlined materially in the last quarter ] a century, the official figures how that 280,000 cubic meters of hard ood, or nearly nine million cubic feet year, was the oe burning for he first four years of the present cen- a: This was for heating purposes ne. Strip 40,000 Acres Annually. To furnish this supply about 60,000 hectares, or nearly 125,000 acres, of woodland were cleared in the four years. The rate of consumption was even eater in the past. It is not expected hat it will diminish. The trees cut range in age from 24 to 36 years. The average is about 30 years. From this an estimate may be made of the enormous tracts of land that are given up to forestation in irance for this purpose alone. Some of the logs are cut near Paris. A good deal comes from woods in the departments of l'Oise and |’Aisne to ihe - forth and some from Loiret to the ite uth. The Landes, on the southern part cf ve coast of the Bay of Biscay, turnish pine, which is chiefly in demand “among the bakers on account of its ick, hot flare. But the great source of E ly for domestic and heating pur- - poses the forests, or, rather, the woods, of the Morvan, which covers erie of the departments of Zonne at evre. v This country is famous for its wild beauty. When seen from one of the lofty hills that are a feature of the region, the woods spread in all directions to the limits of sight. In their billowy surface and variety green they are often compared to a sea heaving and rolling in tidal waves. But there are no great forest trees. ‘The beeches, oaks, chestnuts and elms which cover the land are never allowed to grow old.

“Six weeks ahead of your season, are man, Samuel and Blodgett Priest, a you?’’ writes Miss Alice Crosby of Chi- cago to St. Louis friends. “Well, we can beat that up here and not half try. We are in the middle of July,; so far as temperature is con- cerned. Mr. William Lemp Jr., whose auto car will be a part of the coming parade next Monday morning; will have some novel decorations on his big car, if my information be correct. kschewing flowers and vine wreaths aud the convenient but not at al — and the convenient but: not at all nev Southern smilax, he has decided to rifle Union Market and decorate entirely with vegetables. Bouquets of orange carrots, clusters of snow-white cauliflower, garlands of tny red radishes varied by shallots § and spring onions in .their.green and white, with an occasienal dark claret-colored cabbage or else a pale whitey-green one, ought to make a novelty worth seeing. Vegetables promise much in the way of decorative effects, and it is safe to pre- dict a huge success for Mr. Lemp and his automobile. He will not drive him- self, but will take a party of friends with his mechanician., Another handsOme new auto. which will be a ‘part of the parade belongs to Mrs. William Dunean, She has just become its proud possessor. It is a large car suitable for. country trips, which Dr. and Mrs. Duncan propose to enjoy extensively this coming summer. With the increasing number of ma- chines in St. Louis this year, comes a general spreading out, and a desire to explore new roads. That long popular as well as long suffering Clayton road will divide honors this year. Except for the disagreeable features of reach- ing the De Soto road—the approach through Carondelet and the usually very bad conditions of streets and’‘roads in that section of the city, being inclined to make auto drivers wary—the fine old Telegraph road leading straight down 70 or 80 miles past De Soto can- not be equaled. But it won't do for cars of small power. Those long hills of two or three miles of gradual ap- proach, which old bicyclists remember with some pride anc some distr®ss, need a 50 or preferably a 70-horsepower ma- chine to do them without fear of acci- dent. Another new and excellent route is by way of Belleville to Smithton, where I am told is a nexcellent old-fashioned German inn where toothsome Dutch dainties will be served at your pleas- ure. Miss Marie Schlange's two fine Boston terriers—Brownie and Mike—are to have n important position at the coming tennel Club’s entertainment the first week of May. Miss Schlange is now in Eureka Springs, but is expected home in a fort- night. Which reminds me that the newest tint this spring for dog. overcats, of a light-weight variety, useful on merely chilly days, is old apricot. Beechnut is another preferred color, the latter said to harmonize extremely well with the dark brown and black and_ brindle of the Boston. These tints are designed to match exactly those Master Terrier's mistress’ spring costumes. The remarkably early spring and the consequent necessity for wearing gar- ments of not only newer materials, Dut of much lighter weight, ought te make next Sunday’s Easter parade a @ay one, Many society woman have not only pur- chased their spring Wardrobe some weeks ago, but have given it several airings at card parties, concerts and on the street. Spring hats of gorgeous hues and fanciful flower decorations have prevailed for at least three weeks. As a matter of fact, milady of fashion observes no set and 7 time for wearing her new trapping. If she did she would find herself most inappropri- ately clothed, when living tn St. Louis’ vagarious climate. Some Easters we have a cold raw wind and a downpour of sieet or snow that would not only give the wearer of a light blue taffeta chiffon gown, accontpanied by a rose- trimmed hat, the look of niuch folly, but introduce heft to'& ‘first-Yass case of pneumonia or erippe.

Charles Authorities Will Oust Fred Kemper. After 14 years of conflict with the city authorities of St. Charles, Fred Kemper, a 70-year-old hermit, who has been liv- ing in a quarry hole at Main street and the city limits, will, upon order of his brother Henry, who owns the property and now lives in Iowa, have to give up the surroundings that seems to have such peculiar charm for him. Kemper lives alone, and raises chick- ens, hogs and some cattle. All of his cattle have been impoynded and sold

St. iby the city authorities of St. Charles. For many years they have been trying to dislodge Kemper, to whom serious ob- jection was made by neighbors, whose gardens were scratched up by his chickens. As long as his brother was willing for Kemper to occupy the prop- erty the efforts of the people to get rid of him were fruitless. Kemper formerly owned several houses at Fifteenth street and Cass avenue, in St. Louis, but says he lost his prop- erty by litigation. He has been soured on the world for many years, and had no associates or confidents. He spent much of his time reading the Bible. Several years ago an effort was made to have him adjudged insane, but it failed. He is a man of undersize, with shaggy hair and unkempt clothes. He says he will write to his brother to get him to withdraw the order compelling him to. move. If he fails he says he doesn’t know what will become of him. His abode is little more than a hole under the quarry wall, which he has fitted up to afford a few rude comforts.

FRANCES GOoDWORTH Adam Nagel of 2123 South Jefferson avenue, is bringing home from Chicago his 16-vear-old daughter, Ruby, and her companions, Frances Goodworth, aged 15, of 2301 Hickory street, and Ida Schrick of 1209 Armstrong avenue—the trio of girls who ran away to Chicago to go on the stage, leaving St. Louls Tuesday night and being arrested as they stepped from the train in Chicago Wednesday. a For indulging in_ this « experience Frances will be sent to boarding school, says her father, who is a grocer. The other parents: are hoping that their daughters have been taught a benefi- cial lesson and will be willing to remain at home now. Ruby Nagel had great hopes of be- ing an actress, she told her girl friends frequently, and Frances had given some thought to the subject. It was not known that Ida Schrick had any ambi- tions for a stage career. *The three girls went to see a melodrama at a matinee Tuesday, Frances and Ida remaining away from school in: order to do so. The three girls had dinner together at the Nagel home that night, and there was some talk about them going to church in the evening. : “IT told my daughter she should be punished and said to the other girls that I would tell their parents that I thought they needed whippings instead of church meetings,” stated Mr. Nagel to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “My daughter went out after asking me for 50 cents to buy a postage stamp and some things for the house. That was the last we saw of the girls until noti- fied by the Post-Dispatch that they were being held by the police in Chi- cago.”’ How the girls secured the necessary money to pay their fares the parents could not say, GREAT NORTHERN IS UPHELD Supreme Court Sustains $60,- 000,000 Stock Issue. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 28.—The State Supreme Court today upheld the Great Northern Railroad in its conten- tion that it had the right to issue the $60,000,000 of stock authorized by the Board of Directors some months ago, and which was enjoined by Attorney- General Young, who said that the com- pany suouid first come bat. Railroad and Warehouse Commission and submit to an examination to show the necessity and the purpose of the issue. This contention of the State was up- held by Judge Hallam in the Ramsey County District Court, who ordered an injunction to issue. The Supreme vourt today reverses that decision.

The party met at the office of J. B. Thompson, the village expressman. The contralto is Mr. Thompson's bookkétp- er. Two of Mr. Rockefeller’s automo- biles.. awaited them there. The village photographer was on hand and the choir posed for him before entering the automobiles. It was 4 o'clock before they got started. They drove out to the Rockefeller country place, here Mr. Rockefeller joined the party\ and then they continued to Point Pleasant, 10 miles from Lakewood. The village drug store was the first stop at, Point Pleasant and there Mr. Rockef@ller treated the party, including both chauffeurs, to ice cream soda. Mr. Rockefeller took the same. The picnic party was réady for anything after the ice cream soda treat and nothing would do but they must go down to the sea- shore and pick up’ sea shells for souve- nirs. They didn’t linger there very long, for a biting raw wind from the east made it a bit shivery for picnicking, and besides it was supper time. So the Standard’ Oil magnate and his guests piled into the automobiles and were whizzed back to the Rockefeller home. Mrs. Rockefeller had supper waiting and there weré no formalities about this ppt of the entertainment. Mrs. Rockefeller is noted for her charming hospitality. After supper the choir sang some of Mr. Rockefeller’s favorite songs. COAL VEIN IS FOUND AFTER MUCH EXPENSE. English Fuel ‘Strata Is Twenty Feet Thick. A brilllant. scientific prognostication, in the domain of. geology, has pu been confirmed in South Staffordshire, Eng- land. It appears that for centuries a famous 10-yard seam of coal has :been worked, but is now almost exhausted, and the vein lost at what is known as the great Western boundary fault, and unheaval of some previous geologic age. Prof. Charles Lapworth of Birmingham University was convinced from a study of the strain on both sides of the fault that coal should exist to the West. Ex- perimental boring to locate the seam that has just been discovered has been carried on for a number of years, and at great expense, as it was located at a depth of 1586 feet. he coal, which occurs in a bed 20 feet thick, is of exceptional quality, and, as its extent has been demonstrated by the sinking of two shafts, it is now proposed to exploit the deposit with the most La proved machinery, on the basis of tons per day. The discovery of the coal seam, which is believed to have an extent of 10 square miles, is of national importance, and its development igs expected to lead to an active Industrial development [in South Staffordshire. St. Louis’ has more Post-Dispatch readers every day than it has homes. “First in Everything.”’

AWFUL PLIGHT OF .. PARTY: IN ARCTICS, Narrowly Escape Starvation by Killing Seal. Some idea of the hardship which at- tends life in the Arctic Circle is given by A. Borissoff, writing in the London Express, as follows: “(ne of my most terrible adventures occurred in 1900, when I, with two sci- entists anJ a Samoyede, made an expe- dition to Nova Zembla d the unex- plored country round a t there. We were carried out to sea on a block of ice, and when we attempted to reach the shore in our canoe we found it im- possible, and were obliged to return i% our iceberg. “We were nearly dead with cold and thirst. One of our party cried out: ‘My God! If I could only have a little warm witer I should die in peace!’ ‘In the early dawn the Samoyede sighted a seal and shot it. We drank its warm blood as though it were the elixir of life, and ate its liver and lungs, raw as they were. When our appetites was slightly satisfied we stayed to cook the rest of the seal by dipping bits of it into petroleum and then setting them alight. Then for days we crept along over the broken ice-fields and the bergs until we reached the coast.”’ NEW ENGINE HELPS DEFECTS IN BRAKES. Position of Drawbar Corrected in New Design. An old engineer points out that cer- tain trains which had a habit of leaving the track on a downhill curve were braked mostly by the engine, causing the cars to bump against it. and, as the drawbar between engine and tender was lower than the axle of the trucks the rear end of the engine was depressed and the forward end raised, The conditions are now reversed. With emergency brakes, the braking is mostly done by the train, but as the drawbar is now higher than the axle of the trucks the forward end of the engine is raised by the pulling back of the cars. A new locomotive design is the sug- ested remedy. In this the weight must ee readjusted and enough must be placed on the forward trucks to make sure that they can guide the engine at all times.

Largest Number to Reach Gotham in One Day, Special to the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, March 28.—A total of 16,063 immigrants and 1806 cabin travel- ers arrived in this port on a dozen steamships yesterday. It was probably the record immigration day of the rush season Only a few more than 5000 were han- dled on Ellis Island. The remainder were held aboard ship. There were not enough deputy collectors, inspectors, appraisers and immigration boarding officers to finish the work properly and hundreds of cabin passengers were held weary, hungry and disconsolate on piers for a long time.

JOHN’S, Newfoundland, March 28.—Gloomy tidings from the seal-fish- ing fleet off the Newfoundland coast were brought here yesterday by the sealing steamer Grand Lake. Capt. Knee of the steamer declared that this is the worst season for seals in his 40 vears' experience. The steamer Greenland, with 183 men aboard, broke her main shaft during heavy weather on Saturday last. Dur- ing a severe blizzard on Sunday the Greenland was driven seaward and had not since been seen by the other ves- sels to the time the Grand Lake carted for this port. It is feared that the Greenland has met with further trouble. The antispitting law is NOT enforced! Therefore consmption and many other diseases revage St. Louis. Wouldn’t Smoke, Attacked. William Coleman, 16 vears old, 1527 Washington avenue, is at the City Hospital suffering from a fracture of the skull, said to have been caused by a brick thrown by William Noonan, 17 years old, of 1432 Dodier street. Noonan ts under arrest and admits throwing the brick, but says he did it in fun, with no intention of hurting Coleman. J. A. Coleman, his father, Says the missile was thrown because his son refused to smoke, drink and shoot craps with other boys. his. statement that the delegates to be selected at a primary election to the State convention shall express their preference not alone for the senator- ship, but for the presidency as _ well. If this is done, and that it will be there are few who doubt, because Senator Foraker and Senator Dick control the Republican State Central Committee by a vote of 2 to 1, it will mean that but one name will be presented by Ohio to the next national Republican conven- tion. If Senator Foraker wins his will be the name, and if Secretary Taft ets a majority of the delegates Senator “oraker will retire. Urged to Declare Self. While Senator Foraker'’s statement was unexpected by the general public, it is known that his friends have been urging him to make a declaration. The statement was precipitated by the in- terview given out in Columbus, O., by thur I. Voryis, in which he declared his intention of supporting Secretary Taft for the Republican presidential nomination. The State Central Committee of Ohio consists of 21 members, one from each congressional district in the State. It is controlled absolutely by the Foraker- Dick combination. It is expected that, at the request of Senator Foraker, this committee will issue the call during the latter part of April or early in May. The questions at issue will then be discussed from the stump until the elec- tions in November, when Senator For- aker’s friends plan to have the dele- gates to the next Republican conven- tion elected. There are about nine hun- dred of these delegates. Senator Foraker himself will take the stump and it is his intention to chal- lenge Secretary Taft to joint debate throughout the State. Foraker is an experienced campaigner and a popular one in Ohio. Friends of Senator For- aker here who heard of his statement sav it is eharacteristic of him. They think. it is typical of his political meth- ods, and that his daring will win. Secretary Taft is now en route to Pan- ama with Representative Burton of Ohio, chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, who has open- ly espoused the Secretary’s cause. It is expected that Representative Burton will at the first opportunity announce his candidacy for the United States Sen- ate to succeed Foraker. Just before he left he intimated that if it became nec- essary he would do s0. Senator For- aker’s statement was shown President Roosevelt, who declared he had nothing to say. The primary election is a new thing in Ohio. Here is Foraker's state- ment: I have been go busily ooeupied that I have had neither time nor disposition to even think about polities, either State or national, espe- Clally polities that belonged to next year, It seems to me premature to be now dis- cusssing What is go far ahead. However. in view of the Interviews and announcements of one kind or another that are appearing the newspapers, I feel that I may with pro- bid say that I do not want any political ionors from the Republicans of Ohlo without their hearty esproval.

STANFORD WAIT | AAT TREASURES AT PUBLIC SAL

EVERY PIECE A CURIO me mc Admission Will Be Charged to Keep Idle Crowd From Rooms. NEW YORK, March 30.—Stanford White's collections of artistic treasures, with which he filled his home at 121 Kast Twenty-first str: st, are soon to be sold at auction. With the exception of cervain mantelpleces every object of art in the house is to go. ‘the sale will be held at the Stanford White house it- self. Thus woul.-be purchusers or tnose attsacted merely by curiosity will S¢e NOt only the collections themselves, but the manner of their arrangement, the coljections, placed and arranged by Stanford White himself, with the un- erring eye of the art connoisseur for which he was no noted. It is owlng to this that the interest of the sale. will be very considerably neightened, for the chance these collections, from the smallest vase or jar to schemes of decoration involv- | ing entire rooms, exactly as their artis-- tic owner disposed them to obtain the Sreatest opssible artistic effect, is ijself a feature of wiiich few auction sales can boast. Made Purchasers for Others. Staniord Whites reputation as connoisseur in art was 4audqd unquestioned. Muany a returned from Europe laden with Z Surts of treasures which his friends lad commissioned him to purchase in such purchases they allowed him full ireedom of choice; that he thought the things beautiful was quite enough for them. There is many a mansion in New sork filled with ariistic treasures which Were singled out avroad by Stanford White. He was a man who traveled extensive- ly, with his eyes ever open for paintings aad vuses and tapestries and all the otn- or things that charm the artist. Hol- land, luey, France, Spain and other countries rich in relics of old times, were rejeatediy yisited by him in his own inteyest or in that of those among his friends who valued what such coun- tries have to offer to the artist. What White bought abroad he bought with an eye to a certain effect which might be obtained in his Gramercy Park home; what he arranged there he ar- ranged with artistic instinct, untram- meled by the views or the interference of anybody. Thus everything in the hatse forms one harmonious whole. Bach Article Has Place. However varied the countless. ob- ects of art that go to make up the col- ns, they are so disposed about the house by their owner that they blend with all the rest, forming a scheme of artistic interior decoration such as it would be difficult to duplicate in this city or anywhere else in the United tates. Stanford White gained his position as a connoisseur by the most practical means. Educated for an architect, he showed at an early stage the-most re- markable taste in designing interiors. As aside issue and from the pleasure he took in it, he composed book cov- ers and drew designs for picture frames, the covers of The Century Mag- azine in its early years and of the Cen- tury Dictionary being due to his taste. He was an intimate friend of Augus- tus Saint-Gaudens, who intrusted to him the difficult and delicate problem of preparing the pedestal for his (Saint- Gaudens’s) monuments. Thus the stone bench and pedestal for the Farragut in son Square was designed by White. Saint-Gaudens made for him the Diana which serves as weathercock on the tip top of the tower of Madison Square Garden. Among the monuments de- signed by White alone is the shaft with ‘the crowning eagle at West Point. Began Own Collection. It was as an architect as well as de- signer that Stanford White naturally turned to beautiful things—furniture and wall decorations of many kinds. as well as paintings—but his firm was so rosperous that he found from time to me the means to pick up bric-a-brac and articles of virtu for himself. While buying for others. it was not to eliminate himself, for he had the wherewithal: a mantel piece or ® wooden or marble coffer anciently sores which might not fit the needs a cilent for whom McKim, Mead & had built a town or country ght exactly suit Stanford then it would eo to time he all reason that the narrow stripe of grass on the park and on Lexington avenue were set within big jars and jardinieres and classic agi, to the great amazement of the passer, who did not know what ten- try that handsome house contained. often thought it must be some kind of a hietorical society. ‘Thus in time the home became a mu- seum of objects of the arts, ancient, nalssance, Roccoco and Emoire, but especially Renaissance, be- cause both from his favorite style of ere and his collections it was plain that Stanford White had been early enchanted by the masters wh» wed the outburst of learning in taly. subsequent to the invention of movable for the press.

Mound City Brand of Smoke Blamed by Chicago Oculist for Headaches and Frowns Which Threaten to Destroy Our Reputation for Having Prettiest Girls in World. but Dr. Bourque says they their beauty unless something to suppress the smoke. The young men of St. knewn all along that the eves of St. Louis girls will bear looking into. But their observations in this direction have not been scientific. Now comes Chicago scientist to tell them that these fascinating and bewildering feminine orbs would be even more beautiful if tiie squint were taken out of them, : : Spring Puts Squint at Worst.

The girls would be so irresistible they would all find husbands. Here is a poser for Smoke I. Now will he get busy? Careful observations have veen made by Dr. Bourque during his stay in Bt. Louis. He has had an eye Single to the squint and he has looked for it so hard that he now has it himself. “There is no doubt about this liarity of St. Louis eves,’ he said to Post-Dispatch reporter. “‘The squint everywhere. It comes from the smoky condition which causes so many cloudy days in St. Louis. The worst of it is that of the eye, the most beautiful of human organs, but it causes headaches. In time the constant strain may weaken the St. Louis brain. “There is so much smoke in St. Louis, especially during the winter seuson, that the eye becomes accustomed seeing things through a haze. As soon lose done will cause they have the ‘St. Louis squint.” is That is what causes the awful pains which many of them have in back of their pretty heads and across their classic brows. ae D. F. Bourque (pronounced Burke), a Chicago oculist, now visiting in St. Louis, says so. He is the dis- coverer of the ‘‘squint,’’ which he says is caused by St. Louis’ famous brand of smoke, inspected and passed by Charles H. Jones. St. Louis girls have headaches | Louis have -——- - wre eee the renowned Colonna family will recall to the visitor the this was the instrument on which zart and Handel first played classic gems that still delight us. Another feature in this music room is a lute, very similar perhaps to those the troubadors used. And here, also, is one of Stanford White's treasure troves, a piece of old Gobelin, of the kind that every artist delights to have. As he enters the drawing room the roving eye of the visitor is attracted, as it is in the dining room, to the ceil- ing. For this ceiling, too, is a splendid iece of carved woodwork, with paint- ngs of the birth of Christ on the pan- els. such as the artists of old loved to depict. A superb Florentine doorway, dating from the sixteenth century, resplendent in gilt. wood and wrought tronwork, leads to the picture gallery. There are) hung paintings, ancient and modc-r old masters and otherwise, examples of many styles and many schools. All these canvases have been catalogued in preparation for a separate sale. Harmony in Things. Interspersed with all the larger and more striking parts of the decoration 1s an immense variety of artistic ‘‘odds and ends.” scattered about all over the house, all beautiful, all harmonizing, owing to the manner of their arrange- ment with the general scheme of dec- oration, all picked up by Mr. White personally abroad, or, perchance, in this country, where his eye was as quick to recomnize artistic merit as it was when scrutinizing the treasure houses of oti- er lands. , Newildering in their variety are the artistic odds and ends that fill the White residence. Tapestries, run to earth in picturesque and secluded Franch chateaux and led captive to this Gramercy Park castle of art, fu- nereal urns, such as the old Greeks used: marble fireplaces; Italian foun- tains: water jars of the kind used in Spain to this day great Portuguese walding coffers of the sixteenth cen- tury; Orieatal tiles from the lands where the Arabian Nights were told; ancient piliars; delicate vases, carved columns, curiovs old church lamps, inantelpieces, groups of statuary, busts, all these and many more gems of which even the names are unknown to thage outside the circle of the connoisseur, surprise the eye at every turn, and de- licht the artistic soul not alone by their intrinsic beauty, but by the un errinely tasteful way in which they are ved. ac.

This action causes a sudden strain on the muscles just above the eye, giving the brow a frowning aspect. All Muscular Action. “The action which causes the frown, accompanying the squint, 1s muscular. Beneath the muscles which extend above the eyes and across the forehead there is a network of nerves, called the super-orbital nerves. These term- inate in the brain near the top of the forehead. They are extremely sensi- | tive to any action of the muscles above ‘them. When excessive light causes a frown the muscles rub and trrritate these nerves. That is where one species of headache caused by the = squint comes from. ‘In @ime the cilliary muscles which control the action of the eyelids be- come weakened and the upper lid falls lower over the eycball than it should. This gives the eye the expression of a perpetual squint and makes it look abnormally small. “By far the worst of the headaches caused by the St. Louis squint is that caused by the irritation of the optic nerves, those which control the ex- pansion of the pupil. “These nerves cross each other and pass from the eye to the base of the brain, one on either side. Accompany- ing each nerve are tiny blood vessels. In the normal eve just enough blood is supplied to keep the eye healthy and in working order. “The St. Louls squint causes these delicate vessels to work overtime and they become fatigued.

She has kept it for a rainy day, and the rainy day has come. gecret was in three words: “‘Never Lose Courage.” HEN a long-acknowledged beauty begins to show signs of wear and tear, the magic secret which her fa'ry godmother whispered in her ear at her birth and which has apparently been useless all these years, is now The All this while the power cf her beauty was so great that she needed no courage to make the world see how great it really Was; but now, with the fading of her charms, out comes the precious amulet—belief in herself. And this is the secret a girl should learn whose fairy godmother forgot to whisper in her ear—the giri who grows - -egaamam and hopeless about her ap- pearance. Once having implanted the seed of linia her thoughts should trun to her health, which is the foundation of all true beauty. Then most ordinary and sensible caretaking is usually all that is needed to preserve good health; plain, simple food, plenty of sleep, exercise in the fresh air, or deep breathing before an open window, scrupulous cleanliness—that is, a good scrub all over every day.

MAGIC MIRRORS. OW and then mirrors of a curious N ous kind are seen in Europe. They are called ‘‘magic mirrors,’’ and are of Japanese origin, made, not of glass silvered, but of cast bronze, pol- ished on the face, and bearing on the back raised patterns, inscriptions, sym- bolical designs, crests or pictures. When exposed to a bright beam of light from the sun or from an electric lamp they reflect in the light from their polished face the image of the pattern on their backs. This is a purely optical property, and haa, of course, nothing in common with the fortune-telling magic crystals of the astologer or the alleged magic mir- rors of necromancy, yet it long puzzled the scientific optician and even now is little known or believed. The researches of various scientific men have estab- lished the fact that the phenomenon is due to very minute differences of curv- ature in the polished face, differences so minute that they do not affect the ordinary use of the mirror as a looking- glass, and that can be detected only by delicate optical tests. The only remaining mystery has been as to how these delicate differences of curvature were produced in exact cor- respondence to the pattern on the back. The makers themselves are Often in ig- norance of the magic property and do not know which of their mirrors pos- sese it and which do not, —_ The Small Boy’s Lament.

It is the time of renewed activities. The males have put on their bravest dress, their mates; in order to attract their motions have become more alluring, their song is at its rich- est and fullest. In happy pairs, for no “incompatibility of temper’ do they know, they fly hither and thither, the world being theirs to choose from, to see where they will build their nests and rear their young. The high winds of spring helped their flight hither, and they obeyed the law of navigation, when necessary, by taking the gale on the slant. Insect life is awake and the winged helpers of the agriculturist are arriving in hosts on our shores. Much has been written and spoken about the cruelty of eaging birds, but the fact that they suffer even more from the crossing of the hereditary instinct of mi- gration, when flight time comes round, than from any other privation, or from loneliness, is not borne in mind or rec- ognized as it should be. ny Me Cinched It. From the Denver Post. “My boy, I like you, and I want you to marry my daughter. But have you spoken to her mother about it?’ “Ne, wit.” “Then, to cinch it for you, I'll oppose the match.”

The interests ef the house are his—he is the business, and he 2 fi separates himself from the concern, swabbing the greased chute, by ‘kin; on the place or management. A top-notcher never says inwardly or outwardly, “I wasnt hired to that,” nor does he figure to work exactly eight hours and wear the face the clock. He works until the work is done and does not leave his deck looking a map of San Francisco after the shake-up. As a general proposition I would say that top-notchers and clqurettiahad different persons. A top-notcher prizes his health more than a good time, » he has a good time all the time. Sore heads and bellyachers are usually fering from overeating, lack of oxygen and loss of sleep. If you want to be a top-notcher beware of the poker proclivity and poolroom habit—otherwise destiny has you on the list.

J * HE Browns are home, hurrah! .. A ragged newsboy shouted it down by the Union Station at 10 pes _ o'clock this morning and immediately there was a grand rush for the lepo' platform below on the part of the several hundred fans who had assem- fled to welcome McAleer and his men. _ “There they come,” shouted an excited fan and a hundred cheers echoed nc re-echoed through the depot, while strangers newly arrived in St. Louis jaz : _wonderingly at the reception being tendered the group of athletic young wen only just filing through the gates. «Yon, there they come, single file and in pairs, luggage banging against ithe knee, for ballplayers seldom entrust their precious bats, gloves and uni- © mis’ to the none too tender mercies of baggage smashers and grip carriers. { i sometimes hard work for the ballplayer to jostle and elbow his way pugh the depot throngs with several odd pounds of weight, but those an- leht-and worn gripsacks and suitcases are sacred. a.

Zimmer- man, superintendent of a Brown shoe factory. Wed y after- noon, at Cass avenue and Twenty-first street. The car was driven by Pete Swen- grosh, and Mr. rman’s mother and a woman friend were in the ma- chine. The chauffeur says that the boy darted out from the sidewalk in front of the machine so suddenly that, al- though it was being driven slowly, he could not stop in time. Several men who saw the accident greatly alarmed the ladies by threat- ening the chauffeur. After the had beon quieted, Swengrosh placed the uncon- scious boy in the automobile and carried him to the office of a physician and thence to the hospital. The chauffuer was placed under ar- rest and taken to the North Market Police Station. He was aft re- leased on bond given bw his employer. Fought for Cat and Dog.

Mo., March 2.—The Demo- crats of this city met in mass conven- tion at the Forresters’ Theater Builld- ing Tuesday night and nominated the following ticket to be voted upon on Tuesday, April 2: RD SRE ere ce ; tumed WASHINGTON, March 28.—Many of the householders along fashionable Six- teenth street have lately taken to styl- ing it “The Avenue of the President”’ and the fad has gone so far that they are putting it on their note paper. They refer to it by that name in their pri- vate conversation, and strangers are likely to be somewhat bewildered. A while ago many of the househ@ders tried to get the name of the street changed to “The Avenue of the Presi- dent.’’ The District Commissioners con- sidered the subject and finally vetoed the proposition. There is no appeal from their decision, and so all the innovators can do is to call it by that name among themselves. The beginning of Sixteenth street di- rectly faces the White House, and If there were not a small park or ‘‘square”’ in the way it would begin directly in front of it. Standing on Scott Circle, at the head of the hill, one can look di- rectly down Sixteenth street to the holy of nolies. One sad thing about the situation which somewhat jars the fashionables on “The Avenue of the President’”’ is that the President never uses it. When he goes out he goes along either Penn- sylvania avenue or the far less fash- ionable Seventeenth street. ECONOMICAL BUYERS Muessemeyer, known to his acquaint- ances as ‘‘Mussy,”’ is 21 years old and is the youngest of a gang of young men and boys, for the most part huck- sters, who congragate at Twenty-first street and Bremen avenue. Members of the gang say he is too timid to take any part in a crime. Up to the time of his first arrest the morning after the murder, he had no police record. DROVE HORSES, DISOWNED. Parents Object to Girl’s Posi- tion With Vanderbilt. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NORFILK, Va... March 28.—-Dr. Pow- haton Schenck and Mrs. Schenck an- nounce that they have disowned their daughter, Florence Schenck, who has been engaged by Alfred G. Vanderbilt to show his carriage horses and wom- en’s saddle horses at the International Horse Show in London in June. Florence Schenck is a noted whip in the South and when the Vanderbilt String of show horses was exhibited at the Norfolk Horse Show recently the young womant was engaged by Mr. Vanderbilt to drive and ride for him. As she is passionately fond of this sort of thing she sought perma- nent employment with the Vander- bilts and went away with them when they left Norfolk without asking her parents consent. Her parents, who consider such public performance a violation of precedent and an improp- er employment for a woman, were furious. Mrs. Schenck arraigned her Severely, saying: “So far as we are concerned, she is absolutely dead to us. We have done all we could to make something of her. Our efforts have been futile.” FIREMEN RESCUE HORSES. 98 Animals Rescued From Flames in Stable. Ninety-eight horses in the stable of the St. Louis Dairy Co., 2008 Pine Street, were rescued by firemen about 4:30 a. m. Thursday while the feed compartments were burning. The horses were panic stricken, rearing and plunging in their narrow stalls, and their rescue from the smoke-filled stable was a task of great difficulty 4 for the firemen. The fire was discovered at 4:15 by Charles Maddox, an employe of the dairy company, who sent in an alarm. The fire, had gained ' considerable headway in the dry feed when the department arrived, and the fright- ened animals in the stable, which is in the basement of' the company’s building, were in a state of panic. SODAS WILL COST MORE. Ice Cream Prices to Be Materi- ally Increased. The price of ice cream sodas, owing to the new pure food law formulated by government experts, will be higher during the coming summer. The new law fixes the per centage of butter fat— the substance that constitutes the rich- ness of cream—at 16 in cream to be used for ice cream. City Chemist Buckland said Thursday that heretofore the average ice cream Was made from cream containing about 7 per cent of butter fat. The change means that ice cream which has been selling for 75 cents a gallon—the qual- itv in general use at West End foun- tains, will cost during the summer $1 or $1.10, and that sodas which sold for 5 cents will cost 10 cents, those which sold for 16 cents being advanced to 15 cents. The difference in price was chief- ly due to the varying amount of creain used. For Mayor, Dr. G. ¥. Brewington. For Marshal, John Donnelly. NCTAL ¢ For Police Judge, Ed Hart. eS.

Hayti after missing the connection to Hornersville. Among the travelers who killed time between trains at Hayti was mene? Boynton of 209 Security Building. Mr. Boynton says his attention was 4at- tracted to his fellow passenger on the way down to Pemiscot country by the display of sidearms and a pair of pale green high-laced boots. He noticed him again at the hotel when the stranger sallied forth to pass the time by playing ovl. Laer Boynton heard that the Town Marshal had been “sizing up’ the ‘*heeled’’ stranger and had arrested him in the poolroom. Mr. Boynton joined the crowd at the hearing before the Mayor of the town, pnuzzied over the reason for the arrest, because he had not noticed any attempt to conceal the formidable shooting trons. His surprise was ‘intensified by the excoriation heaped by the Mayor upon the inoffensive looking passenger from St. Louis. Kennett was asked what he meant by ‘“‘coming into a law-abiding community armed like a bandit.’’ The lecture lasted for some time and the spectators gathered that the heavily armed appearance of Kennett was taken as a reflection upon that section of the State. The man upon the bench wound up by announcing that the pris- oner would be given the Iimit. The limit was $0 and Boynton says the prisoner was placed in the custody of the Marshal until he could telegraph to his father in St. Louis for money to settle the fine. He did so, got the money and also an order to ship the big pistol home by express. After the ordeal was over Mr. Kennett, indignant, threatened to sue the officials and the town corporation, but in the end paid the fine and shook the dust of Hayti from his feet. When asked whether he mtended to bring suit, Mr. Kennett said to a Post- Dispatch reporter: ‘‘No, I have decided to drop the whole matter. The expense of such litigation would not be worth the result. I paid the fine and left the piace. I do not understand the laws down in that part of the State, so I am at a loss to know why I was arrested. Those people down in the country have a sort of grudge against city folks.”’ In response to a question concerning the display of arms, Mr. Kennett hesi- tated before saying: ‘Well, I took it along to shoot snakes.’’ AGENCY ISSUES BOOK. Hampton Advertising Co, Has Made Splendid Progress in Few Years of Existence. The Hampton Advertising Co. of New York, Known as the Ben B. Hampton Co. until Aug. 22, 1906, has issued a beautifully illustrated book concerning the splendid progress of the company made during its five years of existence and, to use the expression in the intro- duction of the book, “‘it sets before you Sonie of the work of an advertising agency that is content to call itself un- usual,”’ The book is a work of art, handsome- ly covered, well made up and carefully illustrated. It is printed on fancy glazed paper and the half-tones show a good print. The fore part of the boolg is de- voted to a terse introduction and half- tones of the departments of the Hamp- ton plant, including offices, depart- ments, filing rooms and workshops. Most of the book is devoted to an ex- hibition of the series of numerous ads of firms of whose advertising they have charge, citing the beginning of each business and the progress made in each case, The company does not claim to be the biggest company of its character busi- ness, but insists it is ome of the biggest, though only five years old. it has never leaned toward specialties in advertising methods and mediums, and it hasn’t any sort of hobby, because since the day it was established every effort has been bent toward covering the whole field of advertising. The service of a good advertising agency means the management of a cli- ent's advertising along lines of greatest efficiency, through the use of any’ me- dium that will help swell its results— advertising that is without prejudice— advertising based on the most exact knowledge that can be obtained on con- ditions to.be met. These requirements the Hampton company make claim of and it includes also a great deal of professional activity and priceless co- operation that is not usually considered @ part of an advertising campaign. MORE HAGUE CONFEREES. Roosevelt Decidos to Enlarge American Delegation. WASHINGTON, March 28.—President Roosevelt has concluded to increase the number of American delegates at the second Hague conference, a proceeding which will not have any effect, however, upon the dispo:vtion of the various pro- jects that will be considered at that gathering, because each nation repre- sented is entitled to but one vote. But because of the complexity and impor- tance of the program, it Is felt by the President that the American delegation should ge enlarged to permit of a sub- division. into committees if need be. When the announcement was made last June of the intention to hold a second conference, it was also stated that America would be represented by Gen. Horace Porter, formerly Ambassa- der to France: Joseph H. Choate, form- erly Ambassador to Engiand, and Judge U. M. Rose of Little Rock, Ark., form- erly President of the American Bar As- sociation. The President and Secretary Root have already selected the addi- tional Gwegates, but it is not deemed proper to announce their names in ad- vance of forma) notice that the seco nd conference is actually to be held. wit Panama Canal. re .

They must not have any interest in any'common carrier doing business in the State. They must not engage in any business allied to or in- consistent with the business of the com- mission.

No person shall be secretary of the commission who shall not be able to qualify as a commissioner. The com- mission must organize as soon as the bill is signed. The sum of $6000 is al- lowed for office expense and clerical hire. A secretary shall not receive more than $2500 and two clerks may be en- gaged at not more than $1200 per an- num. The Railway Commission has general charge of the railway companies, ¢x- ress companies, car companies, sleep- ng car companies, freight companies, telegraph companies, street railway companies or any other common car- riers. The commission must divide all freight into general and special classes and fix a reasonable rate for each class. The rates may vary as is deemed just to the various railways of the State.

He de- clared that he had seen a carbon copy of the report of the findings of the ex- aminers sent out by Thifd Assistant Postmaster General Madden, which stated the Farm Journal's sitescription list on the same date as 186,555, in ap- proximate agreement with his own count. Mr. Stevens said that when he ber” work on the count he told Lewis that he had no prejudice against him, but that neither must he understand that the report would necessarily be favor- able. He and Lewis had no discussion, the witness s:.id, concerning the indict- ments the publisher was then under, charging him with conspiracy to defraud in connection with second-class mail privileges It is stated on good authority, accord- ing to Washington dispatches, that President Roosevelt refused to grant Lewis a rehearing or to receive the memorial sent by business and civic or- ganizations of St. Louis in his behalf, because of a letter which Lewis sent to Congressman Bartholdt, charging that jovernment officials had been traffic- ing in fraud for their person! profit, with the knowledge and connivance of the Postmaster-General. Origin of Word | Check. Persia’s ruler is the “Shah,”’ which word entered the English language long ago by way of the Arabic and old French, arriving in the form of “check.” “Chess” is really ‘‘checks,’’ kings: and the cry of “Check!” means one king is in danger. Hence the verb and substantive ‘‘check’’ in all their English meanings; ‘“‘check,’’ or “cheque,” which was originally the counterfoil of a _ bill that served to “check” fraud; ‘‘checkered,’’ from the aspect of the chessboard, and ‘‘exche- quer from the checkered pattern of the tablecloth on which the king’s ac- tions were kept with counters.

THUN, Switgerland, March 28.—Mlle. Tatiana Leontieff, the Russian woma who murdered a Frenchman nam Muller at Interlaken in September last, mistaking him for M. Durnovo, ¢x-Min- ister of the Intertor of Russia, was to- day sentenced to four years’ solitary eonfinement and to 20 years’ expulsion from the country. The prisoner complained that she had been subjected to the utmost brutality by the examining Magistrate and the prison wardens, who, when called to the witness stand, were unable to deny the charges. Mile. Leontieff is a daughter of Gen, Leontieff, who took an active part in the Russian campaign tn Manechuri and who afterwards was Governor oO one of the Russian provinces, and is @ niece of the late Gen. Trepoff. She is said to huve been concerned in an ufi- successful attempt upon the life of Tre- poff in 1905, for which she was confined for some time in an asylum for the in- sane. She was released on her prom- ise to leave Russia forever, and seemed then to have joined the revolutionary group in Switzerland. When M. Durnovo went abroad last year Mile. Leontieff volunteered to exe- cute upon him the sentence of the “fly- ing group’ of revolutionists, of whith she was a member. While several huft- dred persons were at a dinner in the Hotel Jungfrau Sept. 1 last, Mile. Leon- tieff rose from her seat at a table, drew a revolver from her eetloble and delib- erately fired at Charles Muller, a Frenchman, who was seated at @ near- by table. The first shot inflicted a fatal wound, the woman advanced toward the prostrate body afid fired four more shots. After her arrest it came out that Mile. Leontleff had mistaken Mul- ler for M. Durnovo.

HOME TAXES TOO HEAVY Most Valuable Property Does Not Pay Fair Share of Revenue. Frank P. Crunden, Democratic candi- date for membership in the City Coun- cil, is a ‘‘single-taxer.’’ “I don’t want to pose as a reformer, because I am no such thing,” said Mr. Cruden to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “but I have studied the principles of single tax and believe the Ssys- tem would, if it were possible tomorrow to put it in operation, correct many of the injustices and abuses that can be traced to present methods of raising revenues. “With all my faith in the necessity and efficacy of single tax, 1 am yet con- vinced that its adoption must wait many years. But it is certain to come when the people have learned the in- equalities which the present system be- gets. “Just now I am content to indicate some of the unfairness that is mani- fest in the taxation of property in St. Louis. Tie first step towards a better- ment of conditions is an educational cumpaign that will show the injustice of present conditions. Burden Borne by Few. “I was a member of the grand jury which some months ago investigated the subject of taxation in St. Louis. I was surprised to learn by how few the burdens are borne. Those few, moreover, are the very persons who should have the benefit of any reduc- tion that may be affected in the load. “The valuable property in the mer- cantile sections of the city is not pay- ing its share of the revenues. The homes of the people in North St. Louis and South St. Louis—and even in West St. Louis—are paying more than a reasonable proportion of the rates. “The Assessor’s books will show that some of the most valuable properties on Broadway, for instance, are as- sessed at figures that are not more than a tithe of the prices at which they are held by their owners. “I think the rate of taxation should be based on the selling price of the land and the improvements. That is the only fair plan. But it is not the practice in St. Louis. Theownerof any ofthe strategic corners in St. Louis of- fers his property for sale at a very large sum and gets that sum, if he sells, but pays taxes on quite another and lower valuation. The owners of homes don’t do that. I suppose they can’t do it. “I hold a lot of immensely valuable real estate. I am not talking for my benefit. I am not anxious that there: should be any reform, unless the peo- ple as a whole demand it. § I only pledge myself to work with the rest oly change, and to accept the re- sults. ; Pledged to Public Ownership. “The value of land in St. Louis has its being and foundation in the fact that a great many people live here. The improvements that are reared every- where about us add to the value of the land. The;vacant lot that stands in the center of a prosperous district gets its worth from the lapor and money that are represented in the adjacent property. The people should have some benefits from the values which they create. Single tax promises that., and in my belief is the 6nly system of taxa- tion that can give it. “Whatever my influence may be. in |public office, if I am elected to any, ‘will be directed to an equalization of [the burdens of taxation the extension of public ownership and the adoption of some system that will give the office to the man who is most capable of fill- ing it. “In our private affairs we seek to get men who are capable of doing our | work in the best possible manner. We ; don’t ask about their political opinions. When the city has work to be done, we put in charge of it a man who has demonstrated no ability beyond that of serving his party. “IT don't hesitate to say that munici- pal servants should be chosen without regard to their partisan connections— sometimes in spite of them. That is what is done in England and Germany. There is no reason why public affairs should not be put into the hands of men who are as conscientious, capable and trustworthy as are those whom we se- lect to manage our private business. Not Trying to Be Reformer. “I don't like the idea of posing as a reformer. Somehow the people don't take reformers seriously. All I hope to be is the advocate of progress. “To find and correct abuses, to im- prove thje conditions under which we have to live is, to my mind, a purely commercial proposition—not a crusade or an interference with political par- ties or private rights.”’ Mr. Crunden is president of the Crun- den-Martin Woodenware Co., which, by establishing plants of its own to manu- facture paper bags. galvanized ware, gas and other articles, has escaped the clutches of several combinations that attempted to control prices. Employes of the company are among its stock- holders.
