NEW TERMINAL’S PROMOTERS SPLIT West Side Railway Co. Bill in House Will Have Com- petition.

eee ee TWO BRIDGES PROPOSED eee Clause Prohibits Consolidation, but Provides for No Penalty, The West Side Terminal Railway Co., through Delegate Simmons, has a bil} before the House of Delegates, asking for a franchise of 50 years duration, to construct and operate a steam railway terminal line from the northern Giy limits over a private right-of-way, and from Florida street, on Second street, to Convent street, thence to the south- ern city limits. A clause providing that the corpora- tion shall not lease, sell or transfer any of the privileges enjoyed from the city. to any of the existing terminal lines is centained in the measure. No penalty for violation of this clause appears. The company was incorporated several months.ago to build two bridges, carry- ing four tracks each across the Mis- sissippi at St. Louis. At that time the intention of the corporation were to con- struct a belt line around the city and to build a double track through the city itself, from a point south of the Mis- sour! River to a point north of Jeffer- s0n Barracks. In the original company ‘were J. Collins Newton, J. W. Neff and J. H. Hamilton. Since the incorporation of the concern, it is understood that, as the result of a disagreement between Hamilton on one side and Neu and Newton on the other, Hamilton will incorporate a new company, to be known as the West End Terminal Co. Hamilton is the St. Louis representative of the Pittsburg Steel Co. The interests back of the proposed cor- oration are said to represent $40,000,000. he West End company intends to have a bill introduced into the Houee. The bill already introduced in favor of the West Side Terminal Co. offers the city $25,000 a year, after the road is in operation. A promise of immediate con- struction is also included in the bill. The projected route of the West Side Railway begins 2600 feet north of the It pro- ceeds south over a private right of way, crossing Columbia Bottom road and oth- er streets until it reacher Bulwer ave- nue, along which thoroughfare it runs to Humboldt avenue. There the private right of way is resumed as far as Luth- er avenue, where it again runs on Bul- wer to a point between Grand and John avenues, Cutting across city lots to Second and ‘North Market streets, the road will run along the west side of Becond street to Mullianphy, then cutting across more lots to Florida and Second streets. It proceeds south on Second through the central part of the city, not vet de- ifined, until Convent street is reached in the southern section of St. Louis. Here the route is again defined as pro- ceeding along Merchant street as far as Rutger, where it crosses a block to Third street, and along that street as far as St. George street. The bill then goes on to state that the line cuts across other city blocks, working southwardly tn this deflection. until it reaches Koslusko street, cross- ing the interseci.on of Marine avenue and Orage street and the St. Louis, Oak Hill and Carondelet Railway, swerves to the southwest, to strike the southern city limits 600 feet west of Morganford Toad.

This plan, Lewis serious consideration. nadian second-rate is a pound instead of 1 cent, as in the United States. He said he could mail his publication into the United States even cheaper than if he had the sec- ond rate privilege here. Fulton says a regulation by the Tnited States, made under treaty with Canada would prevent this. The rule Provides that the Government can “decline to transmit through its mails exeept when duly prepaid with Stamps affixed in the country of ori- Zin at the rate applicable to miscel- laneous printed matter, such news- papers and periodicals as it would de- Cline to transmit through its mails under the statutory newspaper and periodical privileges, accorded to pub- HMehers and newsdealers if such news. papers and perlodicals were publish- ed in its own country.” Lewis is engaged with the Postoffice Department over its refusal to grant him the second- oes rate for his publications.

These are the rates that will be eliininated by the plans adopted at Fridav’s meetings. It is estimated by the members of the Bridge and Termin- als Commission that the work the or- ganization has accomplished will result | in a saving of more than $1,800,000 a year | to the business interests of the city. The rai.road men declined to make ublic the detai!s of the plan which they ave agreed upon, but it is generally understood that some of the rates to East St. Louis will be’ raised.

At 3:30 the railroad men met the commission in Mayor Wells office in the City Hall. Request for Meeting. The letter sent by the commission to each railroad Official was ag follows: The Municipal Bridge and Terminals Com- mission feels that the time has come whea the St. Louis-Eastern lines should take up the mat- ter of abolishing the remaining arbitrary dif- ferentials above the East St. Louis basis, in the rates between St. Louls and points east of the 100-mile Nmit; and that new tariffs, nam- ing the same rates between pints east and both St. Louls and East St. Louis. should become effective not later than July 1, 1907. At that time the present temporary adjust- ment of differentials, as agreed to at the meet- ing between the general committee of Eastern lines, and the Municipal Commission on May 3, 1906, will have been in effect a year. That partial adjustment was accepted by the conimission in connection with an agreement on other matters, and pending the working out of adequate terminal facilities on both sides of the river. The general nature of such develop- ment of terminals has been ugreed on between the executive officers of the railroads and the commission. And the fact that St. Louls and East St. Louls should be treated as one busi- ness district has been recognized with practical unanimity. Meantime, on July 19, at the request of East- ern lines, to help overcome for a time the last of railroad depot and other facilities, the com- mission assented to an allowance being made for the team haul between East St. Louls and St. Louis to transfer companies § properly equipped with warehouse and other facilities to do business as public carriers and to act - hona fide agents of the railroads in St. ouis, Further drayage allowances, however, have been made by three of the Eastern lines, in a manper that seems to the commission not only ont of accord with the understanding of July .19, 1906. but prejudicial to the interests of ‘Sf. Louis buedness as a whole and also to the railroad interésts as a whole. ‘In view of all these facts, the commission feels. justified in asking that the remaining annotring differentials be now removed. That will clear up the situation in such a as to cause satisfaction to the business public and to enable terminal physi- cal improvements and operating arrangements to be worked out on a really sound and per manent basis, MeKinley Bill Influence. The granting of a franchise by the Municipal Assembly to the McKinley interurban system, which will construct a bridge across the river to get into St. had a big influence in bringing conclusion Louis action way Louis, the railroad officials to the that it would be well to abolish the arbi- trary. The McKinley system promises, with- in a few years, to become a formidable rival of the steam roads. handling many thousands of tons of freight into and out of St. Louis without making any bridge or terminal charges. There will . be no 100-mile limit on the MeNRinley system. By the time. or before, the | bridge at St. Louis is completed the Mc- Kinley lines will have been extended to Chicago, also tapping the Indiana sys- | tem, which connects with other interur- ban systems reaching the more import- |! ant towns and cities and Michigan, and extending break as far north as Port Huron.

DID AULL KNOW MAYOR'S PLAN Some at City Hall Believe He and Valliant Were Given Warning.

you are right—espe- ‘cially in Aull’s case. He and Wells have (been cluse friends for 20 years, and l’m ‘sure the Mayor wouldn't leave him in ‘ignorance of what wag coming and sub- | je ct him to the humiliation of such a ‘surprise. Why, you don’t do that sort jof thing to a stranger, much less a | friend. if you were going to supersede one of the clerks in this office, you would Jet him Know 30 days in advance. so that he could make another arrange- ment, and announce to his folks and friends that he intended to leave the | position he was occupying.”’ “Weil, ther res another way of looking 1 at it.

So long as people supposed the Commissione r would be reappointed, only few applied “And do you mean to say that a life- long friend is of so little consequence he is to mortified and made wretched merely to avold a little official annoy- ance? No, sir, I won't believe that of Wells.” “Relieve or not, I have talked to both Aull and Valliant, and I know tnat neither of them was given the slightest intimation that he was to be dropped.

Deal in Building COommis- sioner’s Office. The non-partisan ‘‘business’’ combine indicated in the account of the differ- @nces between the Democratic factions of the House of Delegates in Friday's Post-Dispatch developed at the evening Sefsion of that body. Nine Republicans ~roke their caucus ledge to Dwight F. Davis, the minor- ty leader, to act only as a unit, by voting with the Brennanites of the Democratic majority, in an effort to land committee plums, which the Bren- Man faction promised them. A rule of the House, cited by Speak- er O'Brien, prohibiting any change of the rules governing the body without a week's notice of such a change, blocked an attempt to take the power of ap- pointing committees out of his hands, to confer it upon the whole body. After publication,. Friday, by the Post- Dispatch of the committee slate writ- ten by the Brennan mafority of the ecmocratic caucus, on which not only one Republican name appeareu, a cer- tain Republican delegate opened nego- tlations with the controlline Democratic faction. The result was another Bren- nMan caucus, in the afternoon, at the of- fice of Building Commissioner Smith. A. new slate was composed. on which the Republicans were liberally supplied with .committeeships. This new slate was brought into the House in the evening. The attempt to force it through Over fpeaker O'Brien's head, revealed the names of the Republicans who had deserted the pledge. to Mr. Davis.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 20.—For the first ‘time in months Frank Hott- man, who helped Mrs. Aggie Myers murder her husband, was smiling this morning. He was preparing to go with 27 other prisoners to the Penitentiary for life. The trip meant action and fresh air for Hottman. Nearly three years ago he was taken to the County Jail. At that time. he was rawboned, muscular, his .face brown and his hair coarse from sun and wind. The close confinement in the Jail bleached his skin and he lost in weight. Five times he was ih the “death cell’ and five times he suffered the anguish* of doubt as to whether the Governor would save him from the gal- lows. Once he lost all hope and tried to commit suicide by stabbing himself with a knife Hottman rose early this morning and began preparations for the trip to the Penitentiary. “IT am glad to go,"’-he said. “TIT wil] get the fresh air on the way to Jeffer- son City and I think it will brace me up. When I get there I will be given a task. That will make me tired phy- sically and will occupy my mind. I fee] encouraged, During the time I have been in Jail I have given up many times and hoped to die. I feel better now. “Are you satisfied to spend the rest of your life in the Penitentiary?” he was asked. “Yes. e zosee Sapee’ no more.” “You new of Mrs. Mvers Jefferson City yesterday?" pues to “Yes, I read about it." “There is no doubt that she is guilty ?°’ “None; we killed him together.”’ ; FOOLED ’EM, DIDN’T WED.

L WILL APPOINTMENTS Chairman O’Brien Says His Committee Will ‘Discharge. Its Duty.” + ce A A DOESN’T LIKE FEW NAMES Travilla Has Fine Record and Flynn Pleases Politicians Because of Jobs.

IBAKERS TO BUILD

; ' Councilman O’Brien, chairman of the. Committee on Municipal Affairs, to which nearly all of the important ap- | pointments of the Mayor have been re- | ferred, said Saturday that his commit- tee would “discharge the duty imposed by law’’ to carefully examine the quali- fications of every candidate referred to it and report in favor of confirmation | or not, as the examinations resulted. Mr. O’Brien said he had no doubt that a large majority of the appointments on the Mayor’s slate would come, fully. up ' to the committee’s requirements, but,'| he added, any person desiring to pre- |; sent protests to the committee against | any appointee’s confirmation may do So. Protests Against Allison. Further, Mr. O’Brien state, protests | had already been made to him against the confirmation of James E. Allison as Inspector of Boilers and Elevators, and that he himself was not enthusiastic- ally in favor of the confirmation of Messrs. George E. Kingsland and W. E. Waul as members of the Board of Engineers, although his views were not based on personal grounds. In addition, Mr. O’Brien said, a great many members of the Democratic City Central Committee seem to feel ‘‘badly disappointed’’ at some of the appoint- ments. Said Mr. O’Brien: ‘“‘The- Brotherhood Association of En- and the Natioral gineers, both organizations of em- ployes, }..ve filed with me protests against the confirmation of Mr. Allison. , I do not know Mr. Allison personally, , but I understand he is a very capable , m an. “Before the Mayor made/his appoint- | ment of Mr. Allison, however, several candidates for the position were promi- nently mentioned, among them Messrs. James McGuire, Henry C. Tully, James! Sweeney, Frank Waul, John Kennet and others. Any of these gentlemen would ..ave been acceptable to the En- gineers’ Association. And I believe the Engineers’ Association is deserving of , recognition. I will certainly give their | views due consideration. “Before the slate was read in_ the’ Council, there was hardly any doubt in my mind but that Messrs. James R. | Wade and Alexander Kilpatrick would | be appointed members of the Board of | wngineers. Mr. Wade is a _ brother of Festus J. Wade and Mr. Kilpatrick is president of the Kilpatrick & Sons Foundry Co. I had submitted their names to Mayor Wells at his sugges- tion. Messrs. Kingsland and Waul were members of the last board, and I under- | stood from him that one of them was ineligible for reappointment because he had gone into the real estate business. “So our committee will look into all these matters before we report to the Council on these names.

It is proposed to raise a cap- ital of $100,000 through subscriptions among the small independent bakers of the city and to establish a bakery at a cost of about $60,000. Among the promoters of the enter- prise are Conrad Hagemeier of 4162 Russell avenue, a retired baker, John Malst of Wyoming street and Cali- fornia avenue, and Charles and Wil- liam Sausele of the Parisian Bakery, 3850 Olive street. Fifteen others have already agreed to take stock in the company and additional subscriptions are expected to be announced at the meeting Tuesday. Many of the mem- bers of the Bakers’ Benevolent and Protective Association are opposed to the plan and have insisted that the name of that organization shall not be used in connection with the vr company.

LAWYER'S SMILE PILES UP COSTS —_ United Railways Co. Loses Woman’s Suit on Its Second Trial. The United Railways Co. will have to pay for the smile or Attorney George Safford, which was the cause of two Adelia Mohr- Safford rep-

man against the company. resented Mrs. Mohrman. The smile was smiled by Mr. Safford when the case was vi: trial three weeks ago in Judge Taylors court for the first time. A witness for the defense had just testified to something which seemed to be contradictory to what he had testified to a short time before. Safford looked at one of the jurors and smiled... Judge Taylor saw it and rgpri- manded the lawyer, saying that the smile was significant and amounted to a comment on the testimony of the wit- ness. He said also that the comment of the smile was not justified by a fair construction of the testimony. #afford objected to the comment of the Judge, and the Judge discharged the jury and continued the case. On the second trial of the case, con- cluded Friday, the jury gave Mrs. Mohr- man a verdict for $3000. This throws the costs of both trials on the company. Mrs. Mohrman, who lives at 2827 Gam- ble street, was hurt as she was leaving an Easton avenue car at Garrison ave- rue Aug. 1, 1906. The testimony was that she had sustained a partial loss of the sense of touch, and that she had pecome subject to Insomnia and melan- cholila in consequence of her injuries, She sued for $10,225 TREDWELL STRIKE OVER. ——e eee Agreement Is Reached On Open Shop Basis.

SENT TO HOUSE “LEASES LOBE Corporation Agents Get More Concessions From Committee Than They Asked.

COURT REVIEW PROVIDED

Lawyers Favoring Legislation

Say This Feature In- validates Act.

a Stnf Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, April 20.—There fg great rejoicing in the ranks of the $250,000,000 public-service lobby today. Aften ten days spent in hearing argu- ments on the various bills to regulate the rates of public utility companies, the House Committee on Private Cor- porations, by a vote of 56 to 2, rec- ommended a compromise measure that fe stamped with the unqualified ap- proval of the lobby. In fact, the com- mittee made even greater concessions than the corporations had demanded. The bil) introduced by Representative Cross of Clinton County, which is sitn- flar in all respects to the one defeated at the regular session, was amended to “pieces by the committeemen who voted on the side of the. corporations. Every vital feature of the Cross bill dissected until the substitute promed has*no resemblance to the orig- nal proposition to give St. Louis among other cities of the State the right to regulate the charges for gas, gtreet car service, heat, power and s on, a proposition which is one of the car- dinal planks in the Democratic State platform of 1906. It is probable that a minority report will be made, as Repre- sentatives Barry, Sosey and Emerson qe the substitute as unsatisfactory. Representative Whitecotton of Mon- roe County, who will likely become the leader on the Democratic side, is an Gutepoken advocate of a genuine en- abling act. It is evident that the public utilities lobby has abandoned the State Commission plan, contenting itself with working solid on amendments which ds of the measure say will abso- lutely nullify its provisions. John H. Lucas, general legislative agent of the $25,000,000 street railway corporation of Kansas City, and Mor- ton Jourdan, lobbyist of the North American Co., which controls all the street railways, electric light and power companies of St. Louis, with all the other corporation lawyers, large and small, joining in, managed to obtain concessions: that preclude all prospect of real regulation of public utilities. Changes Are Restricted. The first section of the substitute pro- hibits municipal assemblies from chang- ing the rates oftener than once every two years. Hence, if the Municipal As- sembly of St. Louis should adopt a max- imum rate higher than that already in effect for street car, gas and electric lighting companies, it would be impossi- From ble to obtain a change within the time ‘Mmit prescr . ‘ It is \provided in section 2 that all cities having a population of 50,000 or over must before regulating rates au- thorize the appointment of a commission of five persons to investigate the facts and conditions bearing upon the fixing of a reasonable rate for the utility to be regulated. This commission is to be appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Council, but cannot be confirmed . wntil 15 days after the announcement of ppointment. The commission must give a complete hearing to the rep- tives of the corporation to be regulated and to the public. It is to report its findings to the Assembly, and this report ane dl be adopted or rejected by the Assembly. Any Mayor of St. Louis, say legisla- tors, who has ever had trouble getting ene appeintment at a time confirmed the Council will readily see how mearly impossible it will be to get five ames confirmed together by both uses of the Assembly after the ene- es.of regulation have had at least 15 to work on the legislators. There one chance for the company in that t might take many months to get the ssion; after tbat the long hearings with frequent postponements would kill poore time. Commissions in St. Louis ve expended many months at times when there was no werful influence ting for delay. jven when both es wére agreeable to regulation as in the case of the St. Louis bridge arbi- trary, a municipal commission occupied more than a year before the faintest so- lution of the competition-throttling so- minal problem was at hand. Finally when the report is made, it must be accepted or rejected. If, for instance, the commission should report that unmeasured business telephone yates are worth $3.8 «a month, the Council could not make a rate of %. hie Council might have ideas of its own that the report would help to di- ie ~ eS but be unwiling to accept the re- a turn it into an ordinance | Pithout the right to amend. Moreover, a Council might start proceedings in e le of its term and all the de- lays possible in the bill could carry the report over to the next Council, where a question of law and the char- ter would arise whether the proceedings did not die witli the outgoing § as- sembly. Court Review Provided. Section $3 of the bill provides for a court review. Advocates of the bill, - among whom are Representatives of. St.

City la Louls and Kansas City commercia! or- ganizations and many of the leading lawyers of both cities as well as the best legal minds in the Senate and House, deciare that this clause is fata! to the proposed law. E. C. Messervey, Cty Counselor of Kansas City, told the of the House Corporatiors tee that “if you put the court review clause in the bill, you will find — you have tried to confer legisla- ve power on the judiciary an by t sem make your bill unconstitu- .

naheen the rate and then providing for an appeal. Representative Cross, author of the original bill, says that giving any party aggrieved the right to bring ao suit means that any stock- holder may sue to stop the enforce- ment of the ordinance. The very things the House commit- tee adopted were turned down by the Senate committee Thursday night. There was this difference, however: the Senate committee that adopted the Cooper bill was composed of some of the best lawyers in Missouri. It includes Senators McAllister, Hum- phrey, Major McDavid . and Cooper. Gardner and Prendergast and Curry, who are not lawyers, were absent. The others are all successful lawyers. They sat down and discussed the le- gal features of the bill carefully with l.. C. Messervey, W. P. Borland, Sen- ator Fields, Senator Gilmore. G. B. M. Sebree and Morton Jourdan, all lawyers, the last two being lawyers for the public utilities corporation. It was because of the legal difficulties involved that the amendments were turned down in the Senate. Of the House committce members favoring the substitute the chairman, Houston of Cass County, is a lawyer at Rel- ton, not familiar with municipal law, as it affacts large cities. Crandall is a dentist. Chilton is a young lawyer in a small town in Madison County. McDermott is a solicitor for a brew- erv and Wilson is a doctor. Sosey, Barry and Emerson were the opponents of the substitute. The ab- sentees, Whitecotton, McConkey, Kies and Kiefner, may divide with the chances in favor of the majority fa- voring the original Cross bill. The fight will then come on the question of which bill shall be engrossed. Question on Folk’s Call. There is a new question raised to- day and that !Is whether the Govern- or’s call for the extra session and his subsequent messages are sufficiently specific to authorize the delegation of power to the cities. Senator Ely, one of the Governor's best friends, is pos- itive that it is not, and Senator Fields is inclined to take the same view. It nay make another message necessary before the Cooper or Cross bill can be passed without amendments, while it is practically certain that it does not cov- er the proceedure laid down in the sub- stitute for the Cross bill reported to the House. When Marmaduke was Gov- ernor he called an extra session to legislate on the subject of railroads. At that time, there was some agitation because several brakemen had been killed by reason of catching their heels in open switch frogs. The Legislature passed a bill requiring railroads to “block"’ these switches and provided that it should be presumed that the companies were negligent in case of accidents where switch frogs were not “blocked.”" The courts held that the latter provision was not covered by the Governor's call, but was an amend- ment to the law of proceedure by courts and consequently the whole act was un- eonstitutional. Cross, Atkinson and oth- ers, are disposed to regard the proceed- ing provided for in the substitute as a parallel case. Altogether, the substitute has more friends in the lobby than it has among the lawyérs outside of the lobby. When read hastily it sounds fair enough, and that is why It is dangerous. A farmer member from a county where a loca! mutual telephone company is the only public utility, might readily think this st a good way to regulate all uti}- es.

NEW YORK, April 20.—Dr. E. Simon Fliener of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, who has been search- ing for a remedy for cerebro spinal meningitis, ‘‘spotted fever,’’ believes he is near the goal. In tracing the virulence of the disease and to dis- cover a check he has used innumerable mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and mon- keys.

The beginning of Dr. Flexner’s work was after the cerebro spinal meziingitis epidemic during the winter of 194 and the spring orf 1905. In the period of the epidemic there were about 4000 cases. The deaths numbered 3429. The _ per- centage of deaths was 73.5. This tre- mendous fatility caused scientists all over the world to take up the subject of finding a remedy. The germ bears the name of diplococ- evs intracellularis. Every experiment seemed to show that its life was short. It was also shown that the germ was to be found in the nose and the pharynx and hence easily communicable. It is found later, however, that although ihe germ in itself without attention, might be of short life, under certain condl- tions its period of existence was not 2 “ay by a few months.

FORMER ILLINOIS JUDGE CONVICT Found Guilty of Cheating and Defranding Stockholders of Bank of America. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, April 20.—-Abner Smith, for 10 years a judge on the Circuit bench of Cook County, was found guilty last evening in the Criminal Court of entering into a conspiracy to cheat and defraud the stockholders and depositors of the Bank of Amer- ica, the institution of which he was president during its career of months. The penalty fixed by the jury is im- prisonment in the penitentiary for a term not exceeding five years and the payment of a fine of $1000. The jury also found Gustav F. Sorrow, vice- president of the wrecked bank, guilty on the same indictment and he was Ziven the same penalty. Jerome V. Pierce was found guilty fined $500. the lumberman, the , E. Creelman, fourth defendant, who was a stock- was declared not holder in the bank, guilty and was discharged by =the Court. None of the defendants appeared to be greatly moved. Mr. Smith's ex- pression did not change during the en- tire time the clerk was speaking. He stared stolidly at the ceiling, just above the clerk’s head; the only sign of nerv- ousness was the restless movement of the finger of his left hand. After a moment he stood up and walked brisk- ly across the courtroom to where de- fendant Pierce was sitting. “Well,” he was heard to say, ‘that's the penalty of getting into bad com- pany.” When asked if he had anything to say in regard to the decision Mr. Smith shook his head silently again and again, his eyes taking on a vacant expression, as if he aid not understand the ques- tion. He seemed to be on the point of mental collapse.

Friend T TESTINON SCORED BY SAGE dence Given by Insanity Specialists Is Worthless. MADE TRIALS RIDICULOUS Lawyer Reads Paper Before Medical Society of City Hospital Alumni. Expert medical testimony was tacked in caustic terms by Circuit At- torney Sager in a paper read Thursday evening before the Medical Society of the City Hospital Alumni. He said such testimony coritributed “little of respect or confidence to the profession, and he cited the Thaw case, among. others, in defense of his position. Prefacing his remarks with the as- sertion that “our system of criminal jurisprudence is shockingly deficient,’ Sager said medical experts helped demonstrate the ‘‘inconsistencies and weaknesses’ of the systein. “The rece.t. Thaw case,,”” Mr. Sager said. ‘affords the most notable of all illustrations of the condit-ong and the disadvantages of insanity as a defense and the testimony of expert witnesses. The result, which was to a large ex- tent saved by the sanity of seven sore- l-- tried and long-suffering jurors, left us in a mood for self-condemnation and made us a target for the merciless criti- cism of the foreign press. The weakness of our legal course of procedure in in- sanity cases was in this instance com- batted by wealth, arrogance and un- sorupulousness, and made indeed a sorry spectacle.”’ Commission Solves Difficulty. Sager further detailed cases in which he had been concerned in the St. Louis courts. in which the testimony of medi- cal experts, he said, prevented justice. He then set forth what he believes to be a successful remedy, saying it was first suggested to him by Chief Dis- penSary Physician Scherk, and had been in operation several months. The courts and Jail physician ap- pointed three experts, specialists on nervous and mental diseases, and the Jail physician was the fourth member of the commission. Whenever the Cir- cuit Attorney suspected a prisoner was mentally unsound he was examined by one or all the members of the commis- sion, to determine whether he was sane and what should be done with him if declared insane. This decision was sub- mitted in writing to the trial Judge. Each member of the commission serves without compensation, and the vail phy- sician or the Court may add new mem- bers if desired. Sager believes such a commission has solved the difficulties presented by ex- pert medical testimony, since it made it difficult to impose on the State by concealing until the last moment the nature of the defense, thus taking the prosecution off its guard and unpre- pared to meet the sanity issue. at- eR —

More than forty cases have been tried involving this commission, Sager said, | and in every instance his office accept- ed the finding of the commission. | Among these was the case of John| Straub, who killed his brother in a | downtown cafe, and who was declared | insane, and Edward Croissant, who murdered his brother and partner in business, also found insane by the com- mission. Sager expressed the wish that such a commission could be given perma- nency- and legal form. It is not at this time provided for under the statutes. = ee

The reappointment of Chief Swingley is an important and valuable recognition of nonpartisan policy in retaining heads of departments who have proved their fit- ness. So far as a hasty examination can deter- mine the question, the nominees appear to have been selected with careful regard to character and competence.

The two blocks selected west of the present City Hall are covered for the most part with “rattletraps,” and from the mere standpoint of improvement the placing of the building on that ground will be a very great ad- vantage to the city. But the choice of this site is significant of bene- fit because it marks a step toward the carrying out of the plans of the Municipal Commission to form a civic center, eventually connecting the new Carnegie Library with the City Hall block, and forming a large municipal park contaifiing the new municipal buildings. When this plan is ear- ried out we will have a beautiful civic center where all the municipal buildings are grouped, ex- tending )/from Twelfth to Fourteenth street and from Clark avenue to Locust. The property between Market and Olive which the city must acaguire when this plan is carried out ought to be purchased as soon as possible. It is cheaper now than it ever will be and every dollar put into it by the city will represent a good investment.

Huff and Edward Den- nis, all well- known members of the Southern Tlinois. Fruit Growers’ Association, engaged in a terrible three-cornered fight on the square this morning, McAllister said apples were worst hurt, Huff insisted that plums got the worst of it, and Dennison maintained that the heaviest sufferers were cherries. Mr. Huff, who is 7, was the worst injured. One of his ears is so swol- len as-to resemble a Bartlett pear. Or if this does not relieve our anxiety, per- haps the latest from Bald Knob, Mo., in the heart of the red apple district, is sufficiently conserva- tive: There was a farmers’ riot on the main of Bald knob today. A great many fruit grow- ers were in town, and an open forum as to the damage done to fruit was conducted around the town pump. Various opinions were ventured, and disagreement led to recrimination, and finally to blows, Finally, everybody was fight- ing, and the town was in a tremendous uproar. The town marshal telephoned to Jefferson City for militia, but later notified the Governor that assistance would not be needed.

The bucket-shops of St. Louis are lawless. They take something and end by giving nothing after promising to give everything for nothing. If the laws were enforced, they would be sup- pressed within a month. So would be the dives which are worse than the bucket-shops. But neither bucket-shops nor dives are the worst. The very worst, the worst possible, are the penny-in-the-slot machines and the five-cent “liv- ing picture shows,” which make a specialty of get- ting together actual photographs of the worst that can be suggested in the life of the. world in gen- eral, to entice boys into knowledge at the very beginning which men in old age are fortunate in having escaped. What could be worse than procuring the worst from both hemispheres to corrupt the young peo- ple of an American city for the sake of pennies in the slot? street

THE BROWN THRUSH. There's a gifted brown thrush singing Where the apple blossoms blow, And his madriga) is ringing Through the April even-glow— His notes are pure and thrilling, Through the hush of eve distilling, And the other birds with trilling And with lesser caroling Are done and taking pointers While they hear the master sing. His pretty head is lifted To the glory-tinted skies, And his song is zephyr-drifted Where the day, departing, dies-— Across the orchard blooming To the western sky assuming, With the sinking sun's illuming, All the hues of Paradise, Where the angels bend and listen With approval in their eyes.

As for the many fine cars destroyed, it was much better, after all, that they should burn together in town than that they should have gone the usual way of automobiles and burned separately somewhere out on a country road where they would leave a black scar upon the landscape. Moreover, a very few of the lost cars, perhaps, were 1907 models, and the fire solves the problem how to get rid of the old machine and get in the game with the late improvements. Usually this shedding the old car is a matter which gives the autoist an uneasy con- acience. The guaranteed life of all ma- chines is one year, and it requires a pretty thick skin to turn one over sec- ond-handed when one can see the pur- chaser’s finish without the aid of gog- gies.

Unprotected Crossing. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to call attention to the fact that there is one very busy grade cross- ing in the city that has weitnen day or pight flagman and has not had for a long time. That is De Baliviere avenue Yat Forsythe Junction of Wabash Rock Island railroads. JOHN BROWN, Scattering Paper, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There are a large number of small merchants, grocers and others, who ad- vertise by distributing circulars. They hire boys, who throw these papers on one’s front porches and litter the place up so that it looks most untidy. Is not this scattering of circulars contrary to the city ordinances? Certainly it is a nuisance. HOvVSEMAID. Only the Bad Condemned. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Ever since I have béen in St. Loulg I have believed the Post-Dispatch to be a paper, honest and upright in every detail, and I am astonished at the edi-’ torial of the 17th inst. Surely you have been misinformed as to the character of the so-called “6-cent theaters,” or some of them at least, which are owned and managed by gentlemen of the high- est respectability. If you will ex ne the lists of films of the leading houses you will find them composed of such things as Cinderella, innocent comedies, industrial pictures—as for example, the manufacture of bottles—scenic pic- tures such as are displayed by Burton Holmes, Ermendorf and other lectur- ers of internationa! prominence, as “Quaint Holland, 7 Se Wonders of Canada,” “A Tri to Borneo,” and “Climbing the Dolomites.”” Taking the films in the list that are most open to criticism on account of their sensation- alism, they form but a small percent- age of the total, as, for instance, ““The Girl From Montana,’ “The Spy,” “The Double Life,”” and “Cheating Justice.” These are on a par with the melodrama ordinarily shown in the cheaper class of regular theaters. There are larger cities, Chicago, for Instance, that aver- age daily in their 5-cent theaters 100,000 people, and these include many fathers, mothers and respectable people, who Surely would not take — children to immoral performance WALTER W. GRELLE,

Teachers and Supervisors. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. One explanation for teachers leaving the ranks and seeking other vocations is that teachers are worked too hard; “supervised to death.” Although years have been spent preparing to the teacher strives to meet the require- ments of each supervisor. What other vocation has so many supervisors? what teacher is through her work at. 3:30? Many go home tired out, but sta up late preparing or correcting Ww for the next day.

There is such a thing as carrying conspicuousness to the point of discomfort; and if 1 should appear on Fifth avenue on a Sunday morning, at church time, clothed as I would like to be clothed, the churches would be vacant, and I should have all the congregations tagging after me, to look, and — secretly envy, and publicly scoff. It is the way human beings are made; they are always keeping their real feelings shut up inside, and mr exploiting their fictitious ones. Next after fine colors, I like plain white. One of my sorrows, when the summer ends, is that I must put off my cheery and comfortable white — clothes and enter for the winter into the depress- __ ing captivity of the shapeless and degrading black ones. It is mid-October now, and the weather is — growing cold up here in the New Hampshire hilis, of Dress. white garments, for here the neighbors are few, and it is only of crowds that I am afraid. I made a brave experiment, the other night, to see how it would feel to shock a crowd with these unseason- . able clothes, and also to see how long it might take the crowd to reconcile itself to them and stop | in the village, clothed like a ghost, and as conspicuously, all solitary and alone on platform, as any ghost could have looked found, to my gratification, that it took less than ten minutes to forget about and give its attention to the tidings I had brought. I am nearly 71, and I recognize that my age has given me a good many privileges; valuable priv- ileges; privileges which are not granted to young- er persons. Little by little I hope to get together courage enough to wear white clothes all through: the winter, in New York., It will be a great sat- isfaction to me to show off in this way; and per-_— haps the largest of all the satisfactions will be ig the knowledge that every scoffer, of my sex, will secretly envy me and wish he dared to follow my ; lead. i i, ANSWERS TO POST-DISPATCH READERS edition for answers

LOMAS BE | REAL WONDER Indian Runner Now Likely to Come to St. Louis to Com- pete in Marathon.

9 BROKE BOSTON RECORD.

Clipped Over Five Minutes Off the Mark for Twenty- five-Mile Event, Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, April 20.—Thomas Longboat, the famous Canadian Indian, lived up to his reputation as one of the great- est distance runners in the world here When he won the Marathén race in record time on yesterday. He says now that he will go to St. Louis to compete in the Marathon race there. He de- feated 114 of the fastest runners on this @ide of the Atlantic, finishing more a third of a mile in front of Rob- @rt Fowler of Cambridgepoint, who fin- - ished second. John Hayes of the St, Bartholomew Athletic Club of New York finished third, a furling behind Fowler. The Indian ran the 2% miles in 2h. 24m. \4-68., beating the record made by J. J. Caffrey six years ago by 5m. Xs. As the famous runner, covered with mud and dirt, entered Boston he was cheered by 50,000 persons, who, despite a drizzling rain, had waited in the reets to get a eee of the winner. ngboat showed no sign of fatigue after the race. The race was the most remarkable ever held in this country. The fastest and strongest hearted runners from all lections of the country and Canada re in it. G. F. Meeks of New York Was the first man to take the lead. He shot ahead at the start as though he Were running in a 25-yard race instead of a quarter of a century run. Longboat made no attempt to take the He swung along in the rear with his long, easy, mechanical stride, and séemed to care nothing as to what po- sition he was in. But no matter how much sprinting was done by the other runners, the Indian's stride carried him along fast enough to keep him always within striking distance of the leaders.

Zaza, a character that fell to that dis- tinguished romantic actor, Claude Mar- tin, is introduced merely for comedy re- lief. Although he has many lines to de- liver, they are really in the nature of a monologue, and in no sense are to be construed ag important. When the curtain rises on the eighth act the spectator beholds a magnificent panorama of gents on high bleachers, bar signs, millinery and red noses. The beautiful strains of Gus Edwards’ ‘‘Pop- ular Hits’’ strike upon the ear. So also does a cigar butt, hurled by a man who has lost money in the previous scene. The attention to detail in vesterday’s performance was wonderful. In nearly every instance the currency used was the genuine article, and when that usu- ally painstaking actor, Councilman Connell endeavored in a moment of ab- sentmindedness to purchase six bits’ worth of? Reds with cigarette coupons, a rough man appeared to be real cross. One or two specialties were introduced right here to relieve the suspense. Jessamine Senalskin executed a novel musical act which attracted the atten- tion of the entire audience. By a smart contrivance there was suspended from her wrist in the form of a chatelaine a number of tiny gold instruments which played lively jigs and two-steps when- ever she raised her arm. During the progress of the race scene proper the authors were daring enough to omit dialogue almost altogether. It was effective stagecraft and is to be recommended. A similar system might have made ‘The Lilac Room” a tri- umph. S tailed description of the scene. Suffice it that there is a thrill to every foot of the nine furlongs that in a magnificent eighth-act finish the Cardinals won by a narrow margin and Simeon Turnstile calls for his smelling salts. Bosco—and what a _ performance did Jim Hardy give—says ‘‘Curses on the ecards!” ‘Foiled again!” and “Ten thousand devils!"’ and then, in order to wreak a blood-curdling revenge on Planters and at the same time put him- self out of misery, steals a half pint of gasoline from Planters motor car and drinks it to the very dregs. In brief, to again use the Rs, realism ran rampant, and the production may be regarded as one of the rousing suc- cesses of the season. The acting on the whole was superb. Ned Hanlon’s exhi- bition of grief when the Reds finished out of the money is the equal of any- thing Mrs. Leslie Carter has ever done. To show the finesse and the expert- ness of stagecraft, it is enough to call attention to a characterization devel- oped without a spoken line by Claude Martin. By a clever trick he was made to appear to lose weight as the Browns, in Chicago, dropped further and fur- ther in the rear, so that at the finish he had shriveled to 247 pounds. A rather tedious curtain-raiser and afterpiece were other features of the performance. Both were entitled ‘‘Bumpty Bumps.’’ The leading charac- ters were played impressively by a mo- torman and conductor of the United Railways. BASEBALL NOTES, THE COMMISSION merchants’ of North Third street certainly had their fun Friday out of that band and its funny leader. Several times during the game the umpires with tears in their eyes, begged the enthusiastic musicians to desist, but it didn't go.

Yesterday's game was practically de- elded in the first inning, when Wash- ington, with little consideration, as- saulted Capp and drove him m the rubber. When the excitement died down it was found Washington had collected four runs and with this lead to en- courage them they took the field, and, playing a neat game on defense, held issour! safe the whole of the after- neon. By some timely hitting of their own and some excusable errors on the part of the Pikeway men, Missouri col- lected three runs in the nine innings. The same procedure was responsible for Washington al up three more. Gill pitched a beautiful game and was virtually unhittable with men on bases.

THE BASEBALL CAREER OF HANLON, WHO IS IN ST. LOUIS a ws & v=.

Manager of the Reds Admits That He Has Been in the Game for at Least 30 Years, bot Is Far From Being a ‘‘Has-Been.”” There was only one Hanlon ever en- } gaged in baseball who amounted to anything, Sir Edward, who hails from Baltimore. Mr. Hanlon is here today directing the fortunes of the Cincinnati Reds, our rivals for many years. Han- lon took hold of the Reds a@ year ago last month succeeding Joe Kelly, ‘who had made a bloomer as a manager in Rhineland. Kelly, perfect gentleman that he was and as finished a fielder as ever wore a spike and a slugging demond as well, was a rank failure as a team leader. Hanlon was manager of the Brooklyn Club year before last and when Garry Hermann asked him to come to Redland and pull his tail-end- ers out of the mire a mighty kick went up from the little town close to the two big bridges out East. Hanlon, how- game and moved out of Brooklyn, though he still has interest there in the club. He signed a three- year contract with Hermann calling for $12,000 per annum. It was a beaut of a baseball nine that the old fox had to be introduced to a year ago. The old Kelly, Corcoran, Dele- Fraser, Steinfeldt and

ever, was gang of vets., hanty, Harper,

goodness knows how many more were in full control, chasing Kelly, Hermann and friendly Frank Bancroft up and) down the field and then back the other | way. Hanlon contented himself with |! sailing along as best he could last year. | He was powerless then to chase the old, invaders off, but as the season _ pro- gressed the disturbers disappeared one! by one. This winter he cleaned up en-|! tirely. He went out onto the highways and byways, where bush leagues grow, and picked the best he could find. He's a shrewd dealer in baseball players. He grabs young hustling men. Her- mann has invested close to a. half million dollars in his baseball plant in Cincinnati. When Hanlon decided to can such great baseball stars as Kelly, Corcoran, Delehanty, Wicker, Weimer and Steinfeldt there was an eruption in fandom. Hermann even kicked, but Foxy Ned was obdurate. He said to Hermann, ‘‘Garry you. got me into this mixup with your big offers and now you must stand for my work. I have never tailed with a loser and | will not depart from this busy town of yours until I have handed you a winner. aS Well said the smart Hermann, “Tn stand or fall by you Mr. Hanlen. Then the famous hero of Baltimore and Brooklyn got busy. His team arrived in St. Louis the other day and when his line-up was given out to the press al! the wise ones laughed three successive times. Davis, Kans, Krueger, (not Otto Kruger, mind you) Mitchell, Mowery, McLean and Mason. The natural question was, “what league did this bush tribe ever play in? How did this mob get into

the National League?’ d The Post-Dispatch man asked Ned Hanion the same question. Here's his reply. “Well, just ask Frank Chance and John McCloskey about that. Aft- er we play a few games here you won't have to continue your researches. Of course, the majority of the band outside of big Johnny Ganzel, Lefty Davis, Ewing and Miller Huggins, are “busting into the re - league without heralds or bunting, but I think they will go a route and finish close to some good clubs.” “Then the wonderful old fellow who started baseball in 1877, before the ma- otf of us enthusiastic fellows ever of beseball walked away to or- band to dress.

pacer a brand of salve up walked Frank Ban- croft, the most ancient thing in base- ball toggery today. Bancroft is now the secretary and general utility man of the Reds club. He has held this sition for a dozen years. ‘‘Now, say, ed,”” said Banny, ‘‘you might hand some cub this brand of conversation, but your auditor here is almost as old in the game as vou are, so be careful —awfuliy careful.’’ Hanlon flushed a bit and said: ‘‘Well, you tell my story then, Frank. He | did and here it is: a ‘“‘Hanlon,”’ said Bancroft. ‘was He farmhand in Rhode Island in (876. was called a dandy hay pitcher. He was small, quick of thought and a Sassy sort of a fellow. He had made a name about Providence as a wonder- ful tosser and a pretty clever third baseman. In those days there were no organized ball clubs. The citizens of each town would get together and frame up an association. Then they would call a meeting and sign up a nine. I was conducting a hotel in Fall River then. I was elected president of the baseball association. On Satur- day, May 15, we arranged to have a game played in town. -We had an as- sociation all right, but no ball club. I wrote to Providence and New Bedford and succeeded in fixing up a match between their teams. The game was ‘played and Fall River beat Providence Hanlon, old Tom :surns, Jimmy Keenan, George Thomas and Dick Pierce, as great a shortstop as ever danced in the field, played with Provi- dence. Hanlon lost the game, a fast, Sharp hit ball which he tried to chase in on striking him under the chin and glancing off a mile. He bunted thre balls that day and scored two of Provi- dence’s runs. “The ‘kid’ was very nervous and it was only his scientific bunting and Sreat baserunning that kept him in the game after that. The Providence club later sent him to the outfield and made an instantaneous hit Hanlon later moved over to Cleveland, where he was one of the fielding sensations of the time. Perhaps many of the old- er generation will remember his exhil- bitions at that time. “When the famous Comiskey Browns of the American Association won the flag in their league in 1887 there was quite a bundle of fun in the old Na- tional League. Detroit won the flag in the old league, defeating Philadelphia and Chicago after quite an uphill bat- tle. The. Comiskey Browns had can- tered for three years previous in their league and President Stearns of the Tigers decided to stop them on their mad march to victory this year. Ned Hanlon had been grabbed off the Cleve- land club by Stearns’ business mana- ger, Frank Bancroft. There were four wonderful players lined up with the noted Providence Club in the National this year and Bancroft asked Hanlon if he would make a hurried trip to his old town and endeavor if possible to nail Brouthers, White, Richardson and Rowe. Little Neddie took a train to Providence and had in his pocket $10,- bonus money with which to bribe. the only and origina! big four. Besides he had contracts calling for $4000 each for the following year in his jeans. Hanion, who was friendly with the quartet, convinced them that it. would be an excellent idea for them to juntp Providence and join the champion De- troit club. The band agreed with Han- lon and he signed them up 4n brought them back to Detroit to play against Comiskey and his great Browns. It is needless to relate just what the Detroit sluggers did to our own world- ters that year. They wiped them almost completely off the ma Hanlon is modest 4 to 3. mulated broke in

STIRS ATHLETES Question of Cross Country Is Now Up to the Local Authorities. It is questionable if anytling has as greatly stirred amateur athietic circles as the now famous “Sull.van letter,” which was printed exclusively in the Post-Dispatch yesterday. Its import is so fraught with meaning and interest to the local clubs that it is causing univer- Sal speculation among track devotees and it is the consensus of opinion that it will do much to clear the murkiness of the local situation. Just what effect it will have on Jack- son, the bone of the whole contention, dépends entirely on how strict the !ocal authorities will be in the enforcement of the ruling. Technically there igs no doubt but that he laid himself open to suspension when he competed unat- tached at Kansas City, and accordingly had no right to compete for the Mis- souri A. C. in the cross-country cham- pionships. But it is patent from the Missouri U. man's actions that he had no intent to evade the rule, but. on the contrary, went out of his way in an en- deavor:-to comply with it, and for this reason he should be dealt with lenient- ly by the A. A. U. autnorities. Whether the M. A. C. will be deprived of the cross-country championship re- mains to be seen. Of course, they can be, but. being the question was really undecided, when they allowed tne con- tested men to compete it looks like any such punishment would be out of all proportion to the offense. The action of Frank Millhovse in go- ing to the trouble and inconvenience of writing directly to the highest A. A. U. authority to have the question decided is certainly to be commended and shows a fine, clean Interest in amateur ath- letics. The decision is bound to result in a world of good and will place the weaker financed organizations on a more equal plane with the stronger and wealthier societies, and will relieve in a large degree the temptat.on of the pow- erful clubs at the last minute to pick

he ! up outside college athletes, pay their expenses and have them run in the c!ub colors, It will be a more healthy. sports- manjike condition of affairs that is cer- tain to arise from the decision. Director Bassett of the M. \. «. an-

JACOBSON 1S GREAT CONDITION Brown’s Southpaw, Though Beaten, Makes Splendid Showing in Chicago, Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, April 20.—It will be Pelty against ‘‘Doc’’ White today and while McAleer is confident that the Farming- ton boy will triumph over the despen- ser of pills his optimism is not at all shared by the local fans, and aa the weather has shown some incipient de- sire to take a turn for the better a huge crowd will be out to back their opinion against the worried Mac. The cause of the Browns’ defeat is very apparent. The men are simply not hitting and apart from Pickering and Wallace the team has been lament- ably weak at the bat. The pitchera have done well in their invasion of the Windy City here and with any kind of Sticking behind them would have cap- tured their games. Yesterday Jacobson was in magnifi- cent form, holding the Sox to three puny hits, and yet he lost his game, as the Browns were unable to do any better with Walsh. In fact the Irish boy had a little the best of it, as ne'er a Brownie saw second base the whole afterosoon. which is a record the American Leagpe pitchers will have a hard time dupii- cating. But at that apart from the first inning his performance was not a jot better than that of the Brown twirler, and the only consolation Mc- Aleer is able to drain from the game is that Jacobson, his lone southpaw, Is in grand form for the race and will be of wonderful assistance to the Browns when they strike their batting stride. The first inning sounded the knell to all the hopes of victofy the St. Louisans had, though at the time a one-run lead did not look so formidable. But ag in-

ning followed inning with its contribu- ‘tion of goose eggs, it Was apparent that lthe lone tally was to be amply suffi- 'clent to win the game. It came in this way. Jacobson gave the first two men to face him bases on balls—the only free passes he issued in the afternoon. Isbell sacrificed the man along, but on Hahn's out at the eee on Donchue’s rap to Yeager, the situa- tion cleared some and it looked like ‘‘Jake’’ would pull out of the hole. But on the very next ball Jiggs and Jones pulled off a double steal and as Buelow’'s throw to second was a trifie low, Fielder scampered in with the only run of the day. The Browns were never close to scoring and it was apparent Walsh and his spitball had them at his mercy. | This morning it looks like it will be the best day for ball playing Chicago has had in a fortnigh:, and with the higher temperature the weather-tossed Browns are counting on a victory. — — ——

‘ SATURDAY— 8T. LOUIZ POST-DISPATOH — APRIL 20, 1907

Everything of Interest About Concerts and Recitals of the Week and Those to Come—News From Studios. D CQ Alfred Robyn, St. Louis’ most pop- lar composer, contributed greatly to the pleasure of the Central High School on Friday afternoon. The large audi- forium was filled with pupils and friends to listen to Robyn music, some of it played by the composer, for an hour. Mr. Robyn’s operas and some of his most recent work was briefly de- geribed in short sketches on the pro- @rams, this materially contributing to the interest of the afternoon. Those rticipating were Mrs. An- drews and.Mr. Cruttwell, who sang sev- eral of tbe Robyn religious cuompo- sitions; Miss Fritsch, who gave the Holab song from the Yankee Consul; Miss Scott and Glenn Lee, who sang the Only One duet from The Princess Beggar, received several encores, and ihe Misses Chistiansen and Plant, who fang in trio with Miss Scott, from the new Kobyn opera not yet produced, Fortune Land. Mr. Robyn was the accompanist, play- ing for the solos and duets in his in- itimable style, and with many delight- fu] improwisations. In this last accomp- lishment there is perhaps no other ac- companist Un the country, certainly not in the West, who can so wonderfully augment ally “atren of the singer and

#0 material strengthen the song as Alfred Roby. Apropos of this remarkable ability to accompany sitgers, I am reminded of a little informe] afternoon of music sev- eral years ego, when Alfred Robyn, Dean George «. Vieh, who is now in Chambersburg, Pa., and several other musicians were present and all in their most congenial mood. The program was entirely fnformal, musicians play- ing when they felt inclined and without “being coaxed."’ Miss Virginia Lee, since removed to Chicago, was one of the songsters, being asked to give a soprano solo. r. Robyn volurteered to play her accompanaiment, much to Miss Lee’s delight. Sitting dowm to the piano, Mr. "Robyn spied org Vieh engaged in a ™usic discussion with Mrs. Emory, then @ resident of St. Kouis. “Come here rge and help me out with this ac- companiament,”’ said Prof. Robyn. Mr. Vieh responded. The two men sat down and took one glance at the sheet of music which Miss Lee had placed on the plano rack befare them. T never even glanced began the most del } —, ys “+ 45 The we = n duet, play Over the no. Miss Lee s at frist a trifle Peimid about starting her s , but when she did begin the splendid support and her beauty of the whole arrangement could ged fail we she ‘as ne ore: ring » with lenty of opportunity for wor and the: three musicians rose to the ocrasion. t was its success that the av- ingisted upon a tepetition, which ebligingly gave. And then er treat, for the piano play- or else forgvt their former orts, and played an entirely new ac- co

the three bore off all honors of the lit- tle musicale. Miss Clara Wueliner is a young gir! of unusual talent and ability. She is a pupil of Mr. Alfred We sman.: Miss Wuellner will give two recitais at Mu- sical Art Building. The first will take place Tuesday evening and the second on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Le Mas- ter, baritone, will assist. Miss Wuell- ner’s program includes the Mendelssohn Concerta in G minor, a group of Chopin pleces and two groups of modern com- positions. The St. Louis Choral-Symphony Soci- ety have departed from their usual plan and in announcing the annual meeting, which is set for Thursday, April %, at 3:30 p. m., at 1120 Olive street, and have sent a general and widespread invita- tion to all musicians, music lovers and public-spirited citizens to attend this meeting, and take part in the delibera- tions and in the conclusiens as to what is best for the society in the future. It is the desire of the management that a majority of voices of the sub- seribers of this meeting, together with } the ald and suggestions of those who are not subscribers but who it is hoped will express their opinion, shall deter- mine the nature and conduct of the pro- gram of the concerts and the person- nel of the conductor for the coming sea- son. It is without segs rt the most important event in the_ history of the seciety for 27 years, and should attract » attendance. iin sais MARY MANNERS. Mra. Malcolm Robb’s Recital. Mrs. Malcolm Robb, assisted by Mrs. Cc. Allen Cale and Miss Belle R. Young- blood, will give a recital at Lecture Hall, Y. M. C. A. building, Tuesday af- ternoon, April 30, 3 o’clock, under the auspices of the Young Ladies’ Mission- ary Society of the Grand Avenue Pres- byterian Church. Mrs. Robb’s delightful impersonations have made her deservedly popular dur- ing the season as an entertainer. The recital will be a musical as well as a literary treat, Mrs. Robb’s selec- tions being supplemented by vocal and instrumental numbers by Mrs. C. Allen Cale, Miss Youngblood and others. The patronesses will be Mmes. Can- non, Wear, McPheeters, Semple Kotany Spencer, H. G. Walker and E. E. Ma- gill. —— - Ernest Prang Stamm’s Recital.
