May 5 he was standing in the barroom at the St. James Hotel when he was approached by a stranger who said his name was Specht and wiio in- vited him to dinner at Lippe'’s the next They met by appointment at the St. Jamés and while they were talking Tom McGrath entered the lobby and was introduced to Baker by Specht. The three went to dinner at -Lippe’s. Interceded for Williams. Baker quotes McGrath as saying: “Now you are a young man and a stranger in this towp and you need | friends. Be a good fellow and you'll get along all right. That’s a mighty nice boy in Jail. Treat him right and you'll never want anything.” Baker says that McGrath suggested that he change his testimony and say that he overheard Killian say that he was going to ..ill Williams. He was told to say that he heard Kil- lian say this to Harry Neison as they were entering the saloon. The testi- mony was to be that Nelson asked Hil- lian how he was going to “get” Wil- liams and Killian replied that he was going “‘to put him off watch,” and that he had his brothers, Don and Fierce, there to take care of McGrath. ' McGrath, according to Baker's stute- ment, advised him to see Gernez, who, he said, had a good job for Baker. The following day Baker went to a billiard hall at sixth and Pine streets, which he understood belonged to Gernez. He was introduced uo Mark Gumbcerts by Gernez. Gurnberts said he had a jov for Baker at the Delmar roadhouse. Ba- kor says he went.out there and got the job. Says Gumberts Was Liberal. He says that he had a good time when he was out there and he frequently bor- rowed money from Gernez. While there he was frequently warned that he might get into trouble over his connec- tion with the Williams case. He says it was urged that he go to Judge Harvey, counsel for Williams, and make a statement, ‘as told by McGrath.”’ He did this, but he did not swear to it. After making the statement he was “fired’’ by Gumberts June 1, and was advised to leave town. Gumberts told

FORGIVES MAN WHO KILLED GIRL AND SELF

Mrs. Bullock Believes a? 4 ve * Husband Was Led to Double Tragedy by Mind Unbalanced in Philippines War Service.

—_—oe When Mrs. Rhoda Bullock of 912 South Seventh street learned that her husband, George Bullock, had _ slain 18-year-old Cora Miller of Belleville and himself because of their unhappy love for each other, the natural jealousy of & woman abandoned for another availed for only a moment to repress her pity and grief. Her second thought was to find an excuse for her husband’s breach of faith with her and his tragic deed. “Georg® served his country three years in the Philippines,” she said, pitying- ly. ‘He underwent the hardships of a terrible campaign under a tropic sun, through jungles and feverish marshes, drouth and drenching rain, and I think he, like so many others, was mentally deranged by jnis acduous duty to his country. “Six months after our marriage, in January, 1905, he attempted to commit Suicide with laudamum, and ‘was saved at the City Hospital. “We were never divorced.” Bullock was 31 years old. Mrs. Bul- lock ig 38. She has two children by a previous mariiage, a girl 16 years old and a boy 14. Last Request Net Heeded. The last wish « Cora Miller that she be buried with Bullock; with whom she freely went to her death, a red: rose in her ‘hair, emblematic of the mad pas- Sion that inspired the ueed, 1.ill not be heeded. Her wrothers, whose natural Opposition to the love atiair was the ex- cuse given by the pair for the tragedy. Will bury her body at Hampton, Ill. her mother’s home, and Bullock will be buried at Ashley, Il, Their bodies, clasped in an embrace which could hardly be loosened, were found Wednesday afternoon on the shore of Triangle Lake, a mile north- east of Belleville. In the forehead of each was a bullet wound, and notes be- side them indicated they had ended their lives in turn in fullfilment of a Suicide agreement. Dressed in Scariet. Miss Miller, who was only 18 years old, had costumed herself like a great actress going to the catastrophe scene of a drama. Her dress was of the scarlet which has always symbolized bassion and tragedy, and as a finishing touch, worthy of one of Poe's ghastly romances, she had placed a glowing red rose in her auburn hair. She lay on her back, with her right arm outstretched under her sweetheart’s body. The man lay facing her, with one arm thrown about her. Between them lay a revolver, with three chambers empty. Had Been Married. _ At the inquest Mrs. Bullock, the dead Man's mother, and John and Henry ~-@r, brothers of the ‘girl, stated that the couple had been going together three pepatns, and were married in St. Louls six weeks ago under assumed names. The fact that Rullock bad an undt- wife caused the girl's brothers

ing between the families, whose homes Stand back to back in Belleville. Serious trouble had been averted by Nannie Bullock, a sister. of George, who fol- lowed him to and fro fro mhis work, believeing that no harm would be done to him in her presence. _ Miss Miller left heme, where she was housekeeper for her brother, a) month &ag0 On account of her brothers’ re- proaches of her love for a married man. Bullock was last seen alive (except by his sweetheart) by his mether. He came home Wednesday morning after having spent the evening with Miss Miller, and went to his room. Mrs. Bullock did not hear him when he left shortly after- | wards, as he must have done to reach | the lake, a mile away, by 4 a. m., the time the shots were heard by the police- man. Married a Widow. Bullock married Mrs. Rhoda Phelps, a widow, in Ashley and immediately moved to St. Leuis, where they lived at 1515 South Seventh street. It was at this address that he attempted suicide before. . , They then went te Granite,City, where they lived until their separation, when she returned to St. Leuis. * ICE GOES UP 0 CENTS A TON Polar Wave Company Says the Raise Will Not Affect the Small Consumers. The Polar Wave Ice Co. has issued a circular announcing an increase in the price at which it will sell ice by whole- sale at its factories and depots. An ad- vance from $2.50 a ton to "$2 has been made and the new schedule took ef- fect Thursday. The price of single blocks of artificial ice is increased from 4) cents to 30 cents. Officials of the company say that these prices will net affect the retail trade, and that the company’s prices to the small consumer will remain un- changed for the present at least. Most of the large hotels and restau- rants and many smaller consumers have contracts with the company for the sea- son. It is explained that in the jin- crease in prices will be felt enly by inde- pendent dealers, whose supply is not sufficient to meet the demand and who have to purchase ice at wholesale from the Polar Wave Co.

WHAT IS A BRYAN DEMOCRAT! TRIES TO TELL

But New York Wotlk. Snsists His Definition Would Apply to Roosevelt and Other Republicans.

By Leased Wire From the New York | Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 20.—The World this morning says: Mr. Bryan, tion of June 46, the World’s question, ocrat?” In respect to the external aspects of the inquiry he defines a Democrat as “one who considers himself a member of ine Democratic organization, who works with the Democratic organization, and who expects to vote the Demo- cratic ticket.’ In a broader and more philosophical sense a Democrat is one who ‘“‘believes a the rule of the people and who de- sires to make the Government the in- strument in the hands of the people to carry out their will.” Under this definition as to principle, wherein is Mr. ssoosevelt less of a Democrat than Mr. Bryan? Wherein is Secretary Taft less of a Democrat than Senator Daniel? Wherein is Gov. Hughes less of a Democrat than Mayor McClellan or Mr. Hearst? Wherein is almost any Repubi.can less of @ Demo- crat than almost any Democrat? All “Trust the People.” Mr. Bryan's dissertation on the dis- tinction between the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian theories of Government must be dismissed as not gerane to the issue. There is no party at the present time which professes to dis- trust the people and none which can be said to identify itself in a peculiar way with the people. The people are tne parties and the parties are the peo- pie. As for the popular election of United in response to our invita- undertakes to answer “What is a Dem- ... States Senators which Mr. Bryan pre- Se eh

thousand readers and most ar ee Mee ad eae wah gs sents as an important Democratic doc- trine, it involves merely a question of expediency rather than of fundamental principle. As for the initiative and ref- erendum, we observe that Mr. Bryan does not claim that it has yet attained full stature as a Democratic measure. Likewise Government ownership of rail- roads is not mentioned as a cardinal article of Democratic faith. The World is glad to throw open its columns to Mr. Bryan's letter, but we are bound to confess that we do not find his answer either clear, complete or conclusive. No man from Mars could determine from Mr. Bryan's letter the essential differences between a Demo- crat and a Republican in the year 1907, and an answer that does not define those differences is not an answer to the. World’s question. After rencins’ Mr. Bryan's letter with the utniost cme and presenting assur- ‘ances of distin,‘ulshed consideration to its eminent author, the World feels ound to renew its inquiry, ‘““What is a emocrat?” mea ee AN INVIWATION TO MR. BRYAN. ‘rom the New York World of June 6.) te If Mr. Bryan is willing to ccn- .te his theory of “WW haf, is a Demo- t?” the columns of The World are open to him. We invite him co tie plat- torm, and assure him that perfect order will be maintained while be is speaking. The World has a great many hundred of them, we think, would be glad to have Mr. Bryan give a defip:te answer to The World's question. © MR. BRYAN’S REPLY. ‘Te the Editor of the World: Accepting your kind invitation to define a Democrat, I beg to say that the subject may be considered from two standpoints; first, from a party stand- point, a Democrat may be defined as @me who is a member of the organiza- ~@ion known as the Democratic party. A man’s connection with a party is vol- untary. He is at liberty to connect him- self with any party or with no party, and he is known politically by the com- pany he keeps. If he allies with the Democratic party and votes the Dermo- _ €ratic ticket, he is entitled to be called & Democrat, in so far as that term is used as a party designation, although he May not indorse all of the party plat- form or be Demicratic in his instincts. * If in addition to voting the Democratic ticket he indorses tie piatform adopted _by the party no one can dispute his title to the appellation Democrat when the subject is viewed from the standpoint of the party. A party organization has a right to choose its own name, to write its plat- form and to nominate its own candi- dates; and employing the word Demo- crat in a party sense, the party has a ‘Tight to withhold the name Democrat from anyone who refused to accept the purty’s decision without questioning the right of a person to leave nis party or- Ganization at the command of his con- science and his judgment. It is only fair to say that he cannot take the party name with him if he dissents from the opinions and acts of the ma- jority of the party, for the rule of the *- majority is as much a part of party government as it is a part of our theory of government. Men upon the outside may claim to be more Democratic than men on the inside of the party—and under a broader definition of the wora - Democrat they may be—and yet, from _@ party standpoint, their claim cannot be allowed wiih the obliteration of party distinctions. A Party Democrat. _ “If then, by your question, “What is a Democrat?” you mean to ask for a ‘@efinition considered from a party stand- point I would say that a Democrat is _ one who considers himself a member of the Democratic organization, who works ty “who expects to vote the Teemocratic _ I do not mean to say that by taking art in the organization he would bind

sufficient reasons can be given for re- ! fusal. I may add that his membership in the Democratic party cannot be thoroughly Democratic unless he considers other members equally entitled with him to a voice in the party’s deliberations and to an influence in the party’s management. No intelligent man becomes. a member of the party with the expectation that he will agree upon all subjects with every member of the party, but he ought to expect to agree with other members on the general policy of the yparty and be willing to confer on equal terms with other members as to details and methods, content that the voice of the majority shall be the voice of the party unless the majority violates some fundamental principle or demands of. him the surrender of a conviction. I think, however, that your question | calls for a broader consideration of the subject. If the Democratic party is en titled to the name, it must be true to the ideas of Democracy, and if we can for a moment lay aside party defi- nitions, I will define a Democrat as one who believes in the rule of the people. The word Democracy is derived from the Greek, and the two, words—Demos, the people, and krateo, to rule—leave no doubt that a democracy is a gov- ernment in which the people rule. A Democrat, therefore, if the meaning of the name is considered, is one who be- lieves in the rule of the people. Jefferson Democrats, This view of the subject is sustained by the writings of Jefferson. A short time before his death, in a letter to Mr. Lee, he said: ‘““Men by their consti- tutions are naturally divided into two parties; first, those who fear and dis- trust the people and wish to draw all power from them into the hands of the higher classes; second, those who iden- tify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consfder them as the most wise depository of the public interests. In every country these two parties exist, ana in every one where they are free to think, speak and write, they will declare themselves,”’ Then, speaking of the various names which have been applied in different countries to these two parties, he said: “The last appellation of aristocrats and Democrats is the true one, expressing the essence of all.” It will be seen that Jefferson used the word Democrat to distinguish those who have confidence in the people, and the word aristocrat to describe those who fear and distrust the people, and no one can torture the word Democrat into any other meaning or apply it accurately without considering the distinction which Jefferson points out. What Jefferson said was true at the time he said it, and it is as true today. These two parties are to be found in every cOuntry, and no matter by what name they are known, they represent the two elements in society. Those who trust the people are everywhere endeav- oring to bring the Government nearer the people, and to make it more respon- sive to the will of the people. Those who distrust the people are everywhere

THURSDAY_BT. LOUIS POST-DISPATOR—JUNE 2, 1907 enceavoring to obstruct each new step toward popular government. We have in this country the distinc- tion which Jefferson ‘pointed out, and from the earliest time have had among our inhabitants both the aristocrat and he democrat. Hamilton reyptesented the aristocratic idea of his duty. and pro- posed a plain of governmerit which pro- vided for a President holdite office dur- ing good behavior, for Sensitors holding office during good behavior, and for Governors appointed by the Federal Government and holding @ffice during good behavior. Hamilton distrusted the people and wanted to renaove the gov- ernment as far from the people as pos- sible. He feared the “piissions of the multitude,” the “influence of the mob,” etc., etc. We have some today whe take Hamil- ton as their ideal, and wie, like Hamil- ton, distrust the people and seek to build complicated systenidy of represen- tation between the people and their public servants. These, hawever, do not represent the mass of the voters in any party, and can only be successful when they can deceive the party as to their real position and purpose. Hamilton’s idea was repudiated at the time of the adoption of the Constitu- tion, and the ideas of Jeferson were tri- umphant. The popular inlea has contin- a

| ued to grow and the doctrines of Jeffer- son were never stronger than they are today. Our Uniteu States Senate is more Hamiltonian in its method of election than the House, and the constant growth of sentiment in favor of the popular election of United States senators is evidence that the Democratic idea is larger than the membership oi any par- ty. I can remember very well when the resolution of submitting the neces- sary constitutional amendment passed the National House for the first time. A number of Democratic senators were fearful of the effect of the change; it was a new departure, and they were very conservative; but time has either convinced them or forced them to keep silent, and the same influence is at work converting Republican leaders or silencing them. The popular election of senators by the people was indorsed by the Democratic National Convention of 1900 and by the Democratic National Convention of 1%4. While the Commit- tee on Resolutions spent 16 hours on the 1904 platform, this was one _ question upon which there was no division of sen- timent. Today a man can hardly claim to be Democratic in his ideas and yet oppose the popular election of United States senators. There is a question, mewerer, upon

ee

ge

| which is at present a division of opin- ion among Democrats, namely— the in- itiative and referendum, or, as the sys- tem is sometimes called, direct legisla- tion. These terms are used to describe the system which gives to the people a larger control over their own affairs by permitting them to vote directly on propositions submitted to them. This reform will not abolish representatives, but it will enable the voters to coerce the representatives into obedience to the popular will. As the subject is better understood, its harmony with Democ- racy will become more and more ap- parent, and I have-no doubt that the time will come when the people will understand the subject of direct legis- lation as well as they do the popular election of senators, and then it will be as difficult for a Democrat to oppose the former as it is now to oppose the latter. While. the application of the doctrine of direct legislation was naturally made to the city first and to the State after- ward, the principle applies just as well to the national Government as to the governments covering smaller areas. The question is, shall the people rule? And that question is as vital in the gov- ernment of the nation as in the govern- ment of a State, a county or a city. Of course, in the nation the equal po-

Ltn fe | sttiton of the states must be respected, and it is absurd to talk of the small states being overwhelmed by a popular vote, for those who favor the application of the initiative and referendum to na- tional questions, favor it with the un- derstanding that the people of @ ma- jority of the states, as well as a ma- jority of all the people, must concur. One who believes in the right of the people to rule and in the capacity of the people for self-government, natyr- ally accepts the fundamental Democrat- fic doctrine of local self-government— that is, that the people can govern best ‘where they best understand conditions. The Democrat believes that the individu- al should be left to choose his own course except where his action would injuriously affect others; that each com- munity should attend to its own mat- ters; that the State should have control of State affairs, and that the Federal Government should be supreme in fis sphere. Must Believe in People. If a man is really Democratic in sen- timent, that is, if he really believes in the rule of the people, this belief domi- nates him in the consideration of all questions that come before the people. He looks at questions from the stand-

point of the whole people and not from the standpoint of a few. His concep-

ee -_

‘the bottom, not from the top. While d the aristocrat pictures as. dripping down to the masses from the well-to-do, the Democrat cannot im- agine a prosperity that does not begin with the producers of wealth. ; There are those who are constantly and consistently Democratic, ana there are those who are Democratic tn Spjts, there are those who apply Democratic principles to all questions, and there are those who apply Democratic Principles to some questions. It ought to be the purpose of those who engage in educa- tional work to enlarge the number of questions to which Demucratic princi- ples are applied. It is hardly worth while to Waste time upon one who is really aristocratic in sentiment. It is impossible to make a Democrat out of him until he has a change of heart, but it is possible to show a rea! Democrat that he has failed to apply Democratic principles to a particular question,

New York ........ 15.00 ing, the burdens put on traffic. Answering the objections raised by a large coal dealer who gave a Post-Dis- patch reporter the grounds for his oppo- sition to the ieasing of the wharf in North St. Louis to the Terminal Rail- road Association, President McChesney of that company said: ‘The Terminal-Riilroad Association is not responsible for any increase in the rates made by rai!roads over their lines. But the fact is that the Terminal Rail- Associatior has reduced the charges on bituminous coal giving good service at equitable The rate of 25 cents a ton on of St. Louis te s#uast St. Louis never a permanent rate. It was course of a war berween various rail- “It was no more a criterion of re- munerative charges than were the pas- senger fares of $1 and $5 occasionally similar conditions between Louis and Chicago. “The so-called bridge and widely misunderstood. arbitrary is It is passing over the bridge. That was the least of it. “Frequently we receive cars from the Iron Mountain Railroad at Du Po, Ill, for deltvery on our inner belt in the extreme western part of St. Louis. Suca hauled 30 miles. The charge, however, is exactly the same—20 cents a ton. What is true of inbound busi- ness applies also to eastbound traffic. cars are Advantages of System. “This policy is of signal advant to the manufacturers and other ship- pers of St. Louis. It puts them on an absolute parity so far as switching charges for their fuel, their supplies and their products are concerned. In consequence, they may locate their fac- tories where ground is cheap, whether on our tracks or those of other lines. For the switching charges include de- livery even to switches located off our tracks. “If a manufacturer whose plant is sit- uated on the Missouri Pacific, for ex- ample, receives or ships a car of freight originating or destined beyond the 16". the switching charges are included in the rate. ‘If each road maintained independ. ent terminals there would be also sep- arate and distinct charges for every car delivered by one of them to ar- other. Because of the system in ef- fect here St. Louis has the most eco- nomic and efficient terminal facilities in the world. ‘In Chicago, which is constantly be- ing compared with St. Louis in respect to_ terminal charges, the cost of de- livering freight is frequently $15 a car. “a rr a ze Situation in Chicago, “A plant situated on the Chicago & Northwestern tracks, for instance, will have to pay $4 a car for coal shipped to it over the C. & E. I. from some point in Central or Southern Illinois. The railroads there absorb switching charges to the amount of $3 a car, but the consignee must pay eny cost in excess of that. The result is that consumers of coal in Chicago are constrained to buy from mines situated on the roads on which their factories are located. That gives the mine an opportunity te demand a price higher than is asked of those ‘who have the advantage of competition. In St. Louis the manufacturer in North St. Louis pays no’ more than his com- petitor in South St. Louis, and that is true because he has the same facilities and the same expenses in the way of switching. “It was in our opinion and in the be- lief 6f thousands of shippers a fair price for transporting freight to anv part of St. Louis more promptly than the railroads concerned could have done so individually anu tndependently.”’ Mileage Rate Not Cheaper. The contention of the coal merchant that a charge based on mileage would be cheaper for manufacturers than the present rate ef 20 cents a ton made by ithe Terminal Railroad Association for delivery anywhere within the switching limits of St. Louis, was called to the attention of Joseph L. Penney, traffic manager of the association. “There is no likelihood that the Ter- minal Rallroad Association will change its present system,’ said Mr. Penney, “but if the mileage basis were adopted there would be sound reasons for some of the complaint that is being voiced. “Under the Illinois laws, which, by the Way, would give us iess than these of Missouri, we could mate rates. that would be 300 per cent higher than these now in force. For instance, for switch- ing a car of bituminous coal four miles er less we could charge x cents a ton. An average carloau of coal is 35 tons. That would mean a charge of $9.45 a car. For moving a car for any distance between four and ten miles the rate could be made ») cents a ton. or $14: a car for 10 miles. between twen- ty-five apd thirty miles a charge of 53 cents a ton, or $20 a car, would be permitted. Average Haul Ten Miles, “As the Terminal Association's aver- age haul is 10 miles it will ve seen what a vast diffeernce there is between the sum it costs the shippers of St. Louis under present conditions, and what they would have to pay if we willingly or involuntarily fixed our charges accord- ing to the Tllinois statute. “Here is the service for which the charge ef 20 cents a ton on coal is asked by the Terminal Ratiroad Association: A car delivered to us by the B. & O. S-W. Ratlread in East St. Louis for de-

| bulk of this tonnage is carried by lines

coal shipped from a point within 50 miles of St. Louis was. 5 cents is in- correct. The through rate was 70 cents, except during short intervals when the railroads were at war. Since March 1, 1906, it has been 62 cents—a reduction of eight cents. The Terminal Railroad Association has nothing to do with the rates from the mines to East St. Louis. True, some of the roads exercising pro- prietorship in the Terminal Association haul coal to East St. Louis, but the that are not in the Treminal Association. That fact is either forgotten or ignored by the critics of the association. Switching Charges Companerd. “Independent terminals in St. would demoralize conditions. Investi- gation shows that switching charges here are far less than those which have? to be met in other cities. This differ- ence varies from $1: to $13 a car on the minimum rate and from $3.50 to $9 on the maximum rate. In Baltimore the maxi- mum rate is $25. ' “Not long since we consfgned three ears by mistake to the Pennsylvania in Baltimore, when they should. have gone to the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. The vards of these roads are but half a mile apart. We had pay $77 for switching the three cars that distance. These cars were shipped by a local con- cern whose traffic manager is of the loudest advocates of indépendent terminals. ‘Beginning Sept. 1, Louis and points limit will be Louis to one the rates between beyond the 100- further reduced. On of grain, for example, the p.esent rate to New York is $118 for 40,000 pounds. From East St. Louts it is $116. After the new tariff becomes ef- fective there will be no difference in the rate, whether the car is shipped from St. mile a carload

4163 Morgan of New York. St. Louis or East St. Louis. The rates | will include the terminal and West Side railroad switching charges, which now constitute the difference in favor of East St. Louis.”’ Reform in Chicago. Agitation for a reduction of switch- ing charges in Chicago has provoked action by the Illinois Board of Railroau and Warehouse Commissioners, and 2 large measure of relief is expected to follow amendments of the board’s reg- ulations on the subject.

70 DEATH ~ WARNED BY WI Third Contact With 4 With: Live Wire in a Year Killed Lineman on High Pole. ~

Twice in 12 months John Hallett, a lineman, has _ escaped electrocution while at work by a hair’s breadth. The third time that he touched a live Wire at the top of a pole the current killed him. That was Wednesday afternoon, and since then, as his body lies in the little home at 3813 Kennerly avenue, his widow has said over and over again: “The last time he was shocked, just two weeks ago, I begged him to be very careful for I was afraid that he would meet his death at work some day.” Hallett was with a Union Electric Light and’ Power Co. wire stringing crew at King’s highway and Laclede avenue. He touched one of the live wires fastened to the pole. The current swept through his body and death was almost instantaneous. His fellow from. the top of the pole to the ground and in- JOSEPHINE LUDWIG SENDS — WORD OF HER ENGAGEMENT sss m=

of Mrs. Ferguson’s Commit- tee After Lively Session. The proposed electric railway through Forest Park to the Art Museum failed of indorsement at the meeting of the executive board of the Eighth District, Federation of Women’s Clubs, Wednes- day. The three members of the Art Committee, of which Mrs. Thomas E. Ferguson, who launched the proposi- tion, is chairman, voted in favor of it. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, chairman of the Legislative Committee, was unalterably opposed to the idea and with a map pointed out her objections to the dif- ferent proposed routes. She said she thought Washington University, which pa"s no taxes,to the city, had the greatest claim on the museum, and had

already been given enough of Forest Park for its use. When it was suggested that a peti- tion be presented to the Council asking that some means of transportation to the museum be provided, Mrs. Ferguson claimed the right to present the peti- tion, but Mrs. Ingalis, as chairman of the Legislative Committee, said such action came within her jurisdiction. ' Mrs. Ferguson intends to broach the subject again at the fall meeting of the federation.

CHILD SAVED BY CAR FENDER Little Girl Knocked Down and Dragged, but Is Not Hurt. When Policeman Dempsey saw a 5- year-old girl knocked down and dragged by a street car at Thirteenth and Mar- ket streets Wednesday night -he gath- ered her up in his arms and rushed with her to the City Dispensary.

SIDENT CLEVELAND PASSES

— Former President Now Recovering From Serious Attack of Sick- néss at Princeton.

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) ident Grover Cleveland last night passed the danger point of another serious at- tack of sickness. He had been perilous- ly ill for some days with internal trou- ble and several physicians have been in constant attendance. Mr. Cleveland was stricken just after the beginning of the commencement at He had planned Hampshire on the day following the exercises. While preparing to get away he was stricken and his physician, Dr. was called. Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of New York City, one of Mr. Cleveland's most Intimate friends, was sent for the next aay. So alarming did his condition become last Saturday that Drs. Carnochan and Dryant summoned Drs. Edwatd G. Janeway and Andrew J. McCosh, New York specialists. On Sunday the dis- tinguished patient's condition remained the same. Fearing a desperate siege, plaris were made by the physicians to have the spacious Cleveland grounds roped off and privately policed to pre- vent the intrusion of strangers and to prevent unnecessary noise. 4 Until yesterday, it is stated, Mr. Cleveland's condition remained serious. Then he.took a turn for the better. Last night his physicians anno need, the crisis had been passed and there seemed nothing to prevent a speedy recovery. Mr. Cleveland, it is eéxpected, will have to spend his entire summer in se- clusion. BAIL IS DENIED TO WILLIAMS Slayer of Lee Killian Must Remain in Jail Pending Trial.

ND. BRYCE IN THE PIT DODGES CORN TRAPS AND GETS AWAY WHOLE Dial in the Exchange Puzzles the Ambassador as His Hosts Explain. British Ambassador James’ Bryce, who visited the Merchant’s Exchange Wednesday and who is to be the guest of the Washington University Friday, experienced considerable difficulty in understanding some of the fine points of trading as it is done in the pit. When the Ambassa‘ror entered the ex- change he was attracted by the dials on the wall which record the latest quotations of current options. Before making his speech the Ambassador had President Plant explain all the details of the “July Wheat" dial. “Now ji observe,’ he said, that a short hand is pointing to the figure 2, and a long one to % Surely the price of corn can’t be 2% cents.’’ “No,” answered Mr. Plant, “it is 52% cents. You see the left hand numeral is not shown on the dial.”’ “But how are people to tell what the price is?” asked the Ambassador, seratching his head. “All the traders know what the lead- ing price is,"’ answered Mr. Plant. Just then he saw the pit, which had been vacated, and told ex-Governor Francis that he would like for him to explain that. Mr. Francis took Mr. Bryce down into the pit and tried to ex- plain it to him by offering to sell him some July wheat—at least the other traders accused Mr. Francis of trying to make a deal with the British diplomat, but he admitted that he didn’t succeed. When Mr. Lryce left the exchange floor his eves were -still turned toward that puzzling dial of prices.

This fund sustains the Pure Milk commission which is formed by devoted men and women to provide sterilized milk of

Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co., which is in control of all the surface transpor- tation of this city, will come up for action*in the Council's meeting today. It empowers the c:tv to make a con- tract with the traction monopoly, re- leasing all municipal rights and turning over the streets for 50 years for what- ever surface, elevated and subway routes and structures the P. R. T. may elect to build. In reality the ordinance is a ghostly reminder of the master spirit of the Widener-Elkins syndicate of traction magnates. William L. Elkins has been dead two years. He left an estate valned at $4v,- 000,000, more than one-half of which is still tied up in the stock of the United Traction Co.,. the Philadelphia Rapid Co. and the 40 railroads which these two holding companies’ swal- lowed. The present ordinance, which-has been in the Council since May 2 last, when Mavor Reyburn had it introduced, is known and has been under frenzied dis- cussion for months as ‘“‘the retail mer- chants’’’ plan for the solution of the rapid transit problem. It was designed to problem of settling tate. If the city can into the proposed contract, the Elkins stock can be marketed. If not, the stock. amounting to $20,000,000 or more, may have to be kept on standing assess- ments of $5 on each $50 per share. Thirty civic associatioas, erganizations of business men, residents of neighbor- poods,. merchants. .ane trades, have been conducting for months a campaign of education against the proposed ordi- nance, which, under the name of a rapid transit relief plan,’” was made The “retail merchants” consist of eight men, representing six large dry goods houses, who are anxious for the com- pletion of a supway through Market street. Their motives are not impugned, hut the bill which they indorse has been opposed bitterly in mass meetings, ward gatherings; pamphlets and on platforms. But the opponents or the plan have not been fortunate in obtaining pub- licity through the press and they com- plain bitterly. A ecard circular was sent out by 100,000 voicing their complaint and calling for a free press.

County ‘Clerk Ruhl of St. Louis Coun- ty thinks property should be assessed at one-fifth its actual yalue for State taxation, so as to enable a higher #mie for county taxation and créafs & fund to be handled by the County Court.‘He expressed this view Wednesday afler- noon to a committee from Eureka, dele- gated to learn the tax rate for the High School at Clayton. Eureka wants a high and wants to know what it will cost. In conversing with the committe, Ruhl said the property in St. Louis County was worth $100,000,000, and is assessed at $50,000,000, and added that he favored reducing the basis for State purposes to $20,000,000. He said he thought the State ought to get as little money as possible from the counties. The committee which heard the state- ment was composed of H. H. Barnes, T. J.

_ omental AN OLD ADACE: SAYS_—<[- «A light purse is a heavy curse’’ Sickness makes a light purse. The LIVER is the seat of nine tenths of all disease. proper food value to the babies. Where the parents are able to pay the milk is supplied at itg first cost price, which is as cheap as the price of bad, grocery milk. If the parents are unable to pay that little charge the milk is supplied free. The money you contribute goes toward paying for free milk and ice to keep it cool and to defray the cost of stegril- izing and distributing it. Read what follows and then decide upon the size «f your contribution. Mortality Reduced. OT RS ‘“Refore the inauguration of the Free Milk and Ice Fund,” said Dr. Albert Merrell, president of the Pure Milk Com- mission, ‘babies died by the thousands in the summer. Their greatest enemy was inanition. Since the organization of the commission, in 1904, this dsease is no longer formidable. The mortality rate among the babies of St. Louis has been reduced tod nearly nothing, as compared to what it was before. There has ‘been only one death among the users? of the pure milk, and in that case the baby was dying before the milk was pro- cured.”’ Dr. 3: C. Harris said: ‘‘Before the es- tablishment of the EF'ure Milk Comrnis- sion, the doctors were practically pow- erless in ecmbating with inanition and kindred diseases of babies, especially in the more densely populated districts of the city. They were swept down before them like flowers before the scythe, and all the medicires the. coc- tors could give were counteracted by the lack of proper nourishment, and by the disastrous effects of impure milk. Since the existence of the Pure Mtik Association, the cases of inanition are few and far between, and are in:me- diately overcome by the substitution of the pure milk. Death is a stranger to the families whose babies are fed the pure milk.” The inception of the work of the Pure Milk Commission dates back to the spring of 1903, when Walter Bernays, at that time city chemist, paid a visit to Mr. Nathan Strauss of New York, who had for many years been furnishing modified milk to the poor‘of that city. Mr. bBernays learned that Mr. Strauss was willing to furnish the equipment for the establishment of a milk labor- atory in this city, provided the neces- Sary support would be givén by the philanthropic citizens of St. Louis. Beginning of the Work. Later the matter was laid before the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Provident Association With a request that the association undertake the work, and in November of 1903 Drs. Saunders and Scherck read papers at the annual meeting of the Provident Association and urged not only the desirability but the necessity of Mmaugurating the work in our city. At a meeting of the St. Louis School of Philanthropy, held in January, 1904, the whole subject was laid before 150 of the philanthropic workers of the city

and ae resolution was uranimously adopted authorizing the appointment of a committee of zi to become the first board of directors and to arrange for the incorporation of the commission. This committee of 27, representing the leading departments of philanthropic ef- fort of the city, filed, on Feb. 26, 1904, the papers for the incorporation of the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission. Immediately upon the receipt of the charter the organization of the board was completed and the various com- mittees for active work created. The laboratory was opened and fully equipped in a building tendered by the Provident Association, at a cost ‘of $2,459.50, and was formally dedicated on June 28, 1904. On that occasion invitations were sent to the general public and the practical operation of the laboratory was called to the attention of the’ many visitors present. The milk is distributed to stations lo- cated in various congested districts of the city, and where the applicant is able to pay it ég sold at 1 cent per bot- tle for the smA4il size and 2 cents for the larger size. The milk is modified, then pasteurized and cooled to the proper temperature, after which it is packed in cases hold- ing 48 bottles, and thoroughly covered with cracked ice, and in these cases is distributed to the stations where it is delivered on application to those hav- ing regular prescriptions from’ physi- cians, indicating what modification is needed for the particular case. Where to Get Milk. Milk will be distributed this year from City Dispensaries Nos. 1 and 2; King- dion House Mission, 803 Hickory; Memo- rial Tabernacle, Fifteenth and Carr streets; Niedringhaus Mission, Seventh and Cass; Provident Association; St. Louis Children’s Hospital, 400 South Jef- ferson; St. Louis College of Physicians and Surgeons; Jefferson and Gamble; Markham Memorial Mission, Julia and Menard; and the United Jewish Chari- ties Mission, Ninth and Carr streets. The milk is procured either by those who can pay or by those who cannot, in the following manner: The baby for whom it is desired must be taken to a physician, who will examine it and give a prescription calling for milk modified to suit its requirements. The parent will take this prescription to the distributing station nearest home and there secure the milk every day. Any reputable physician will examine a baby and give the milk prescription without charge if the parents are too poor to pay. The physicians at the City Dis- pensaries also co-operate in this work without charge to any one. CHURCHMEN EVADE THEIR JUST TAXES, SAYS MAYOR Now Baptists Are Talking of Not Holding Next Meeting in Hot Springs. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., June 20. — Be- cause Mayor Jodd is alleged to have ac-

cused the Baptists of harboring a num- ber of members who cry out for law enforcement and refuse to pay their ve- hicle taxes, a vote will be taken by the congregation on the question of with- drawing an invitation which Was ac- cepted by the Southern VDaptist .conven- tion at Norfolk last month to meet next year in Hot Springs, according to a statement made by Rev. A. T. Amis, pastor of the church and a reformer of state-wide prominence. ™~ The Baptists of the city, especially. the First Church, are up in arms over the Mayor’s published assertion. An influ- ential member of the official board says that as the Mayor was the city’s rep- resentative and had publicly insulted the Baptists of the city, he didn’t believe Hot Springs the proper place for 6000 of them to meet in the Southern convention {in 1907.

COUNT. ITAGAKI. Count Taisuk Itagaki, the found- er of the Liberal party in Japan, and one of the most powerful lead- of public opinion, cabled the foregoing dispatch in answer to be ers the Post-Dispatch’s cabled inquify if he had been correctly quoted as declaring that: ‘Hundreds of warships should be assembled in Tokio Bay and Ja- pan should confront America in the attitude of being ready to meet the Americans in battle forthwith if they reject the just and legiti- mate demands of Japan. These ut- terances are extreme, but I am compelled to make them by the present state of relations between Japan and the United States.”’

ANGRY FATHER HVS POLICEMAN IMPRESSED AUTO —_—-— &--- George M. Wright to Make Charge Against Patrolman stinger.

George M. Wright, president of the William Barr Dry Goods Co., said Thursday that he will prefer charges against Automobile Policeman Stinger, who, he says, seized his automobile and took his daughters, Jessie, 18 years old, and Margarét, 16. in a wild chase after a speeder. Mr. Wright is not so much concerned because of the impressing of his ma- chine as because, in his opinion, the lives of his children were endangered. Driven by Chauffeur Henry Begler, the Wright sisters left their home short- ly after 9 a. m., Tuésday. They were riding north en Grand avenue, near Washington avenue, when the police machine drew up to them. In front of them was'a swiftly moving machine, owned by Stacey Bray of 4330 Westmin- ster place and driven by his chauffeur, Claude Mery of 4283 Olive street. Girls Deny Permission. Stinger, jumping from the police ma- Chine, climbed into the Wright car, tak- ing a seat beside the driver. He Says that he asked permission to use the Wright automobile in chasing Mery. The Wright sisters say he did not Through the crowded streets sped Mery, the pursued, and Stinger, the pursuer and the speed became so gfcat that Jessie and Margaret Wright cling te the sides of the tonneau to keep ftom being jolted inte the street. The chase continued nearly three miles to Vandeventer avenue and Nattral Bridge road, where Mery was over- hauled. The police machine, which had been limping along behind, came up a4 few minutes later and conveyed Mery to a police station. Mr. Wright said that according to the account given to him by his daughters and his chauffeur, Stinger jumped from the police machine tnfto the Wright au- temobile and said to the chauffeur: “Catch that fellow.’’ Stinger stood be- side the chauffeur, hat in hand, and urged him to go faster, despite the pro- tests of the girls, Mr. Wright says Fruits and vegetables which the youn women had bought at market wefe ceat- tered about the tonneau. Once, Mr. Wright says, when Jessie proteste about the speed at which they were going, Stinger turned and waved _ )}.is hand at her and told her to Keep sft). Marearet, the younger of the Wright girla, said Thursday that Stinger did not ask permission to use the machine in which she and her sister were rid- ing. She said that he commanded the chauffeur to follow the speeder and that he did not speak to hef or her sister. Alarmed by Great Sper’. toe eslenttes Ea Stn Narell | vecame | | policeman,

alarmed when she saw that the ma- chine was going so fast that the back- ward rush of air made it impossible to use the horn. At first she thought it was a great lark to travel at top speed under the protection of an automobile but when she saw pedes- trians scurrying to go out of the way she felt that the ride was extremely dangerous. Acting Chief Gillaspy says that he will take no action against Stinger until }Mr.. Wright lodges a formal complaint at the Four Courts. Stinger said Thursday: “After I had chased Mery’s machine until my automobile gave out I took Mr. Wright's car. I knew the chauffeur as Henry. I asked him if he could catch the speeder and he said he could, and he invited me to get: into the ma- chine. After I had taken a place be- side him I turned to the young women in the tonneau and I asked the older if she had any ebjection to my using the machine. Shé said she had not, but she told Henry to ‘be careful.’ The young women did not show any signs of fear during the chase. They Were smiling most ef the time. I would not use any person’s machihe without asking for per- mission.’’ FLIRTED WITH ONE WIFE; OTHER CAUGHT HIM AT IT Now Peter Updegrove Is Trying to Escapé Arrest on Charge of Bigamy. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, June 2.—Den’t wife flirt with you, street car. If Peter Updegrove, a conductor on the Calumet electric line, had observed this principlé, he would have been happy today in the possession of two wives. Anyway, he would not be a fugitive on a charge of bigamy. Mrs. Peter Updegrove and Mrs. her Updegrove, both claiming the gallant conductor as husband, met on his car. One of them. flashed a six-inch smile in his direction. The other wife saw it, sult was seandalous. treated to a pleasant awhile. Then the two women stumbled off the car, weeping and lamenting.

ST, JOE JP'S TI MANY KNOTS NOW Their Stock Goes Up With Refusal of Ministers to Marry Divorcees. Spéetial to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June ®.—The local ministerial alliance, comprising pastors of all thé principal Protestant congte- gations, some time ago declared against solemnizing the marriage of a divorced person in the life time of the former husband or wife. The rule is being re- adhered to and as a result there is a decided inerease in the num- ber of marriages performed by the mag- istrates at the County Courthouse. A couple which came here from To- peka today ran the gauntlet of the local preachers and after a delay of several heurs, resulting in their missing their train, were unftéd by Justice of the Peace Lemmon. The series of refusals began with the Rev. Edward Henry Eckel, rector of Christ Church. Mr. Eckel had been summoned by telephone t6 One of the hotels to marry the couple and was obliged, by the rules of the Episcopal Church, to decline to officiate. Rev. W. R. Dobyns, of the First Pres- byterian Church, Rev. B. F. Crissman of- the First Methodist Episcopal Chutch, were successively appealed to, but.{n vain. Each had the same answer—the rules of His church Were against such mar- Yiage@a, Two other clergymen were called @or, but they were not at home. ligiously the waiting groom thoughtfully when all the clergymen in turn had made the

BEGINS $162,000,000 WORK FOR NEW YORK AQUEDUCT | Mayor McClellan Turns Sod for Excavation of Vast Reservoir to Be Dug Two Miles Back of Peeksville, N. Y. te a (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, June 20.—With a small silver trowel; Mayor McClellan today ‘turned a sod of earth among the hills ‘two miles back of Peekskill, .on the ‘Hudson River. By this act he began ithe great undertaking which wiil cost *$162,000,000 and eventually furnish Great- er New York with 800,000,000 gallons of ‘water daily, besides the amount avail- ‘able from the present sources of sup- ply. From the simple beginning by the Mayor the Catskill aqueduct, 150 miles long, will be constructed. It will con- neet the Ashokon reservoir in the Eso- pus Valley with every borough of this city, including even Staten Island. The preliminary work of surveying for the gigantic excavation has reached such a stage the construction of the reser- voir itself and a second or storage reservoir can be pushed with speed. The aqueduct will have a_ channel height of 17 feet. It will wind among hills and across gorges jn the heart of the region immortalized by Wash- ington Irving and will pass under sev- eral creeks. At Storm King Mountain, wes = above West Point, it will descend more than a thousand feet to cross under- neath the bed of the Tludson. The line it will follow upon reaching the Bronx at Yonkers will be under the upper East River, under Brook- lyn, and finally under the Nurrows to Staten Island. . The Ashokon reservoir will consist of the impounded waters of the Esopus, Schoharie and Catskill creeks and the Rondout River and some smaller streams. Primarily the. reservoir will be constructed by a dam 220 feet high over the Esopus Creek, which will form a sheet of water 12 miles long and two miles wide along the creek itself. The maximum impounding capacity of this huge receptacle will be 120,000,- 000,000 gallons. The engineering problems involved in building the aqueduct under the Hud- son will be the mos: difficult the engi- neers will have to face. , Estimates vary as to when the sys- tem will be completed. is generally fixed upon as the date, but it is probable some part of the supply will be available t before.

When opportunity offered it was agreed ge that its assets were to be sold to rail- *foads or other corporations at a profit and that on the terminafion of the f@greement, Feb. 1, 1905, the proceeds gwere to be distributed among the sub- gcribers pro rata, provided the purposes -of the syndicate had been fully accom- plished at that date. If not, the man- ‘ager was to extend the term of the agreement as long as was necessary. ‘Planned $8,000,000 Fund. . Under the agreement the total sub- scriptions were not to exceed $8,000,000. Of this amount $6,000,000 was to be raised at once. George J. Gould, Joseph Ram- -gey Jr. and William E. Guy were ap- ‘pointed trustees of the funds. Jenes says he paid $70,000 in cash on/ @ subscription of $100,000, but that the managers did not produce that much of theif subscriptions. Some of them, he alleges, paid only 50 per cent. The - @mounts which the various defendants “sig? Thomas West, Adolphus Busch and are said to have pledged themselves to put mto° the syndicate, according to Jones, are: Gould, $3,000,000; Ramsey, $300,000; Guy, $300,000; Blair, $100,000; Ead- ‘ward D.

Ea- wards are made defendants because they have bought and now hold cer- _tificates issued ‘by the syndicate. The - total amount subscribed is put’ at. $7,- Jones alleges that the money was _“recklessly’’ spent on enterprises, and railroads afterwards abandoned because “their construction might have proved vas aha & disadvantageous to other railroad sys- * tems, in which Gould, Guy and Ramsey - were largely interested. ” +.

About $800,000 was wast- ed in this venture, it is alleged.

TEAM SERVICE CUT DOWN Many Contractors. Said to Have Supplied Wagons for City Under Other Names. Frank Storer, former Street Depart- ment District Superintendent, who re- cently was reduced to an inspector by Commissioner Travilla, has been sub- penaed to appear before the grand jury, which is hunting for graft in the City Hall. Daniel J. Corcoran, former Super- intendént of Street Cleaning, who was retained by Commissioner Travilla as an inspector, has been quéstioned by Cir- cult Attorney Sager and Assistant Cir- Commissioner Travilla told a Post-Dis- patch reporter Thursday that he was satisfied. that Corcoran and Storer had clean records. Corcoran has been suc- aut work reorganizing the department. Team Cost Cut Down. Since Commissioner Travilla went into office he has cut down the number of teams furnished the city by William Katican, a well-known contractor, from over 40 to 20.: Some of the teams sp- plied to the city by Michael Haley, a saloon keeper, have been discontinued. E. B. Alexander, who was formerly superintendent of the block cleaning system, was dismissed by Com nissioner Travilla and his place filled by Clinton boogher. Commissioner Travilla said that he did not know whether there had been any grafting in the department. Sfnce he went into office the records have been carefully examined, with the result that about 60 men have been discharged. Jury Hints Collusion. The Grand Jury has been trying to as- certain whether certain teams for which their owners were paid rendered any service to the city. The Street Depurt- raent, on an average, employs 140 teams a day. The pay is #4 a day, for the team, driver and wagon. It is suspected that some persons who | had many teams to hire to the city had some of them listed in their own | names, and many others in the names of other persons. It is said to be almost imipossible under the conditions that how many team’ some coniractors were hiring to the city. The Grand Jury investigation is based upon the theory that there was col- lusion between employes of the Street Department and certain contractors by which teams were hired and paid for but rendered no service. This could not have been done unless inspectors, over- seers and superintendents were in the deal with the contractor. Accused of “Hoisting” Ring. “Holster” is the classification. given by the police to James Porter, 61 years old, arrested in East St. Louis Wednes- day night and later identified as the man who was in the jewelry store of August Hoffman, 3808 South Broadway, the afternoon of June 6, pricing pins, when m $100 diamond ring disappeared. A “holster” is a combination of shop lifter and confidence man. Porter has served three terms for ‘hoisting.’ Former Street Department Super- *. ghey fii ey w 7 EDWARD JMILLE * RECEIVER NAMED OR WATERS PIERCE Federal Court in Texas {Grants Petition of Stockholder, Backed by Defendant. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SHERMAN, Tex., June 20.—Alleging that action directed against the Waters- Pierce Oil Co. by Texas officials has ruined the business of the concern in that State, bradley W. Palmer, a stock- holder, filed application yesterday in the United States District Court here for the appointment of a receiver. Tite prayer was granted. F Palmer declares a his petition that such anti-trust measures were passed by the last Legislature that the oil company wants to quit the State, but judgments against it n Travis County recently render the sale of the property almost an impossibility. He asserts these judgments have clouded the title. It is alleged that it has a bona fide offer of $42,000,000 for its tangible proper- ty and contracts and that it really wants to get out of Texas. It is further al- leged that the stringent anti-trust laws which become effective July 12 will make it a felony for any employe to work for a trust; that all employes of the company will quit on that date, and that in order to conserve the business it will be necessary for some authority to arrange to carry it on. The company voluntarily appeared, waived service and prayed for the same relief asked by the stockholder filing the bill. Judge Bryant granted the petition and named C. B. Dorchester, cashier of the Merchants’ and Planters’ Bank of Sher- man, as receiver, fixing his bond at $100,- 000. I nmaking this order Judge Bry- ant notified the attorneys for the pro- ponent that he wanted it understood that the property and proceeds aris- ing from the sale of the assets of the concern would be held in his court for the payment of the State’s judgment of $1,500,000 should that judgment be made final. Gasoline Launch Stolen. A gasoline iaunch, valued at $500, be- lénging to Robert Graf.of 1903 Sullivan avenue, was stolen from its moorings at the foot of Wright street, Wednesday afternoon. “Champion” Lost Backer’s Cash. Adam Harris of Akron, O., is the latest victim of pool sharks near Four- teenth street and Chouteau avenue. He Was fleeced of $48 Wednesday.

It isn’t legal.’’ The attorney for Mills urged that Mrs. Mills had consented to go to the asylum for treatment. ‘ yee told be “and she didn’t go she taken by force and her would sue for a divorce.”’ Mrs. Mills testified that Rev. William ‘Court, her pastor, went to her home | Wtth her husband and entered her room land told her that if she would not go to ‘the asylum quietly her husband would ‘sue her for a divorce and cause her a |lot of trouble. She told of her husband’s familiarity with servants on two occasions. Spooks Talked to Wife. Spirits told tales on Mills, according to his testimony. His wife‘told him, he testified, that they awakened her in tho night to tell on him. She wanted to know the names of women with whom, according to the said the Judge, that if was would husband she write names of women of her acquaint- ance, and the spirits would confirm the correct ones by raps. She made up a list of about fifteen names in that way. Her husband destroyed it. One of the grounds on which Mr. Mills asks a divorce is that his wife consulted spiritualists and fortune’ tellers. Be- cause of her conversation about the spirits he had her placed in St. Vin- cent’s Asylum. She cites this in her eross-bill as one of the reasons why she should have a divorce from him. Written agreements providing for the division of the property and the custody of the children were introduced in evi- dence. He admitted. making them, but denied that there was any attempt to get a divorce by coijlusron. He expected all the time, he said, that she would fight the case, ‘‘because,she is a natural born fighter.” Dr. Frank R. Fry. Dr. Warren G. Priest and Dr. Kuhn told of visits made to them by Mr. and Mrs. Mills. They formed the conclusion that Mrs. Mills was at least insanely jealous. Mr. Mills said that Mrs. Mills was under the im- pression when these calls were made that she was taking him to the doctors for treatment. for his misconduct, whereas he was.taking her to have her nervous condition inquired into. Clairvoyant Witness. William E. Ruhl of 3109 Olive street, a clairvoyant, told of Mrs. Mills having visited him three times. It was his duty, he said, to forget what she con- sulted him about and he had according- ly done so. Rev. William Court, pastor of the Grand Avenue Methodist Church, told of an attempt to reconcile Mr. and Mrs. Mills. She told him, he said, that whis- ky and women had been the ruination of Mr. Mills. Asked to tell the grounds for the statement she said the spirits had told her. She explained her pursuit of her hus- band through Tower Grove Park by saying that a spirit had shown her a picture of her husband going toward a ditch and in that ditch was a woman and she had rushed after him to save him from the ditch. Rev. Mr. Court told her that the spirit that told her that was evidently an evil spirit. —— Negro Shot In a Fight. Jeorge Gray, a negro, was shot in the right leg above the ankle by George Tuckeet, another negro, during a fight in an alley at Jefferson and ashing- ton avenues at. 12:30 p. m. Thursday.

John J. Murphy, a Water Department employe, Sorsnerty. a liceman, was hursday. They sep- arated June 9, her petition states, after being married for nearly nine years. The wife alleges indignities, that he droye her from the house one night in her night dress and that she had to take refuge in a cellar. Shoe Manufacturer Weds. A. S. McFarlane, a shoe manufacturer ef Boston, and Miss Ethel Martin, daughter of E. T. Martin of Maplewood, were married at noon Thursday at the /Martin house. The ceremony ys -per- formed by Rev. L. L. Nash of Maple- wood. i “Happy,” spirits,-he was associating. A medium {had told her-to sit down to a table and young women spilled from a buggy runaway in that city. Harry Robinson, familiarly known as residing at 1716 C streét Gran- ite City, who was with young Garner, has told Mrs. Beatrice Garner, mother of the missing youth, that after the runaway in which the buggy was broken, her son left for St. Louis on a midnight train. Ill., a two-horse of Madison, were in A Book-Loving Boy. Inquiries by his parents on this side of the river, among young Gerner’s friends, have given no trace of him. Mrs. Garner is greatly worried about the’ disappearance because of ‘“‘Bow- man’s’’ sensitive disposition. He was a book-loving, house-caring, boy, who knew nothing about driving horses, ac- cording to his mother. She adds to these circumstances the fact that he had quit his employment at the Commonwealth Steel Co. in Granite City last Friday night, "ae the result of a strike by) himself attd é¢ight companions. They were all “paid off and Bowman had over $30 in his; pockets when he left his .home. Bowman, Walter. Whalley, Joseph Maserine, Harry Robinson of Granite City, with Joseplt' Lallumandier of 2909 McNair avenue, St: Louis, engaged a two-horse light road wagon from the Vorhees Livery at Granite City and set off for a lark at Madison. Quarreled with Companions, Arthur Whalley, the brother of Wal- ter, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the boys all set off together in the rig, but thus Walter had told him that they had a quarrel in Madison, which regult- ed in Bowman Garner taking the rig and leaving his companions. Robinson climbed into the buggy later and was with Bowma.. and the three girls when the runaway took place. Rob- inson says that young Garncr might be found with a girl named Lé- Gary, living somewhere on. North Eighteenth street, but inquiries here failed to reveal any such person. PLANTERS DEAL LIKELY TO FAIL Refusal of Directors to Extend Hotel Lease in the Way. Negotiations on the part of Capt. James L. Lawlor of Houston, Tex., for the purchase of the Planters Hotel prob- ably will be declared ‘off as a result of the refusal of several directors of the Commonwealth Investment Co., con- trolling the hotel building, to grant an additional lease of 10 years to Lawlor when the present lease expires, 18 months hence. Moses C. Wetmore is among those vigorously opposing Capt. Lawlor. Capt. Lawlor is being backed by John H. Kirby, millionaire lumberman of Houston, Tex. ' Thomas L. Landrum-owns a majority of stock in the hotel company and Capt. Lawlor has secured an option on this which expires Friday. Capt. Lawlor agreed to buy Landrum’s stock for $200,000 with the expressed condition, however, that the-building company would allow him a 10-year lease.

MARRIAGE WAS A SECRET Ceremony Consisted Merely of His Placing Ring Upon Her Finger. ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—In the contest for possession of valuable real estate here disposed of by the late Dr. Galen E. Bishop to John S. Brittain, a wealthy wholesale dry goods merchant, there have been sensational developments. The plaintiff is Catherine T. Cochrane, or Bishop, as she styles herself, who alleges that she was the common-law wife of Dr. Bishop. Dr. Bishop was one of the most wide- ly known physicians in Northwest Mis- souri during the years following the Civil War. He lived at New Market during the war and when peace was declared he moved to St. Joseph. He was very eccentric and had no confi- dants. The woman’s testimony brought out the fact that she and Dr. Bishop were sweethearts as early as 1865, and that they were engaged to be married, but the doctor, she testified, neglected her, and finally married another. Disappointed Her. This was a bitter disappointment to Miss Cochrane. Years passed and in 1883 she permitted Dr. Bishop to obtain the impression that she was about to sue him for breach of promise. Immediately, according to her testi- mony, the doctor made overtures to compromise. In consideration of an interest-bearing note for $5000, she dropped the prosecution, The first Mrs. Bishop died Dec. 17, 1992. Feb. 23 or the following year Miss ‘‘ochrane entered the establishment of ner old sweetheart as housekeeper. She continued as housekeeper for nearly a year. . . Declares Her Marriage. In January, 1894, she says, she was married to the doctor. It was a secret mariiage wit'.cut benefit of clergy. The doctor simply promised to be faithful to her 28 her husband and closed the simple rite by placing upon her finger a plain gold ring. — . “rom that time,” testified the plain- tiff, “I was his wife in every sense of the word. I had charge of the house; i bought the clothes for the children; I had everything my own way.” This situation continued, she said, up to the time of Dr. Bishop’s death in 1896. SALOON MEN JOIN FIGHT TO KEEP DOWN COUNTY LID Liquor Dealers’ Association Pro- poses to Expel Members Who Sell on Sunday. st. Louis County’s officers of the law having failed to keep the Sunday “lid’’ down, the County Liquor Dealers’ Asso- ciation has undertaken the task. John Ruhl, clerk of the County Court, was informed Thursday by leading members of the association that a resolution will! be introduced at next Monday’s meeting of the association in Clayton, requiring all members to obey the Sunday clos- ing law under pain of expulsion. Meas- ures to compel those not in the orgzni- zation to observe the law will also be croposed. A majority of the members are said to favor suéh action. The members of the association say that the asloon keepers who have given the county authorities the most trouble are not membcrs of the body. In Ciay- ton, where the saloon keepers belong to the association, thé Sunday law has been observed more generally than at the South Broadway and Luxemburg resorts, whose proprietors are not af- filiated. There has been “back door’’ selling in Clayton, but no conspicuous siations of the law as elsewhere. The Sunday Post-Dispatch has over ONE-HALF MILLION more readers than any other newspaper west of the Mississippi. a “First in Everything.” BY SPOKANE MAN Tells Admiting Crowds at Home of the Wonders He Saw on His Eastern Trip. “On my trip I saw many strange sights, met many distinguished people, viewed many nuble edifices and was thrilled and astonished until I could be amazed no longer; but there was one thing that impressed me above ail else, and that had to do with the fame of a spokane man,” said Contractor Johr. T. Huetter, just returned from a trip to St. Louis and other Eastern cities. Commissioner William R. Roy, Com- missioner John T. O’Brien and other town hall nabobs crowded around Mr. Iluetter and urged that he disclose what had impressed him the mosi. Big, Office Buildings, “In St. Louis I visited the parks big office buildings, the navtehe. the Bene ter works and other buildings that have made St. Louis’ famous,’ Mr. Huetter continued, “and on all sides I was asked if I knew Wiiliam Roy, president of the Spokane Board of Pulic Works. fhen the men of St. Louis would Say, ‘Seest yon noble edifice?

While he did not admit that he had built all the big buildings Mr. Huetter saw in St. uis, it was al- ready Known he had been in the con- tri.cting business in that city. Not Like St. Louis Gardens. From the City Hall Mr. Huetter strolled across the street to see his friend ‘“‘Dutch Jake,’’ most recent re- cruit to the reform forces of this city, and who is now putting in the biggest .|palm garden in the Northwest. ‘This garden is fairly good,’ said Mr. Huetter depreciatingly. ‘It’s too bad, though, that you are not sufficiently up to date to have one of the new art glass ceilings like they have in all the palm gardens in St. Louts.”’ “Vat it tis?” said “Jake,” somewhat excited. ‘“‘I vill haf idt.”’ ‘Tttis a ceiling of glass,’’ Mr. Huetter explained. ‘“‘The glass casts a prism ef- fect in colors over the room when dif- ferent numbers of electric lights..are turned on. You can have a rich moon effect in an instant, or you can have a cloud effect, the audience looking up at the art glass and imagining they are finating in the sky.” “By chimminey,’ shouted “Jake,” “eef idose ceilings vill do all dat I shall haf ii at vunst. Ve vill haf der ardt ceil- ing, no difference vat she costs. I shall order dose ardt ceiling immediately, initout delay.” More St. Louls Wonders, Mr. Huetter, who had his second wind by this time, began to tell “‘Jake’’ «t having seen Hale’s tour of the world in St. Jouts, a wonderful railroad car in which a person could enter and in tive minutes see all parts of imerica. ‘“Huetter, you vere pehind time,’ said ‘Jake’ seriously. “Tt haf dose same car at Natatorium Park, und in less than five ininutes 1 can dake you all ofer der voridt. You hadt better stay py home on some of your chourneyings.’ At last reports Mr. lluetter had fled from ‘Jake’ and was looking for oth- er men to tell about his trip to the East. ~Spekane Spokesman-Keview. & DR, EALES SERVES FOND, BUT CONTINUES TO FAST Belleville Physician Has Lost 21 Pounds in Twenty Days Without Food.

i A hi — a PUT THE MUSEUM ON ROLLERS? “Retter move the Art Museum,” says Park Commissioner Scanlan, “than cut up the Park with electric lines.” This remark is creditable to Mr. Scanlan.’ !t shows that he has a broad, far-seeing view of the proper uses of the park and of the part it ought to play in the lite of the people of the city. it is the view which the Post-Dispatch insisted upon whenever any proposition to cut up and mar Forest Park with railroad tracks has come before the public. We. have persistently fought the many plans to put tracks in the park. The great body of the park should be a recreation ground, free from the noise and dangers of cartracks, where grown people, weary of the noises of the city and thirsting for country, can rest and amuse themselves. It ought to be free from dangers to children. If the policy announced by Mr. Scan- Jan is not carried into effect, the park will soun be gridironed with street cars. The Art Museum is a great and useful insti- tution, which will become greater and more use- ful as the city grows. The people have just voted it a handsome income and it ought to be utilized to the fullest extent. It is located in the wrong place for the best possible use under any circum- stances. It sheuld be on the edge of the part, convenient to the street cars. The problem of getting throngs of people to the Museum by some sort of conveyance is difficult. The line sug- gested by Prof. Ives, running from Skinker road to. Tamm avenue, skirting the rear of the Museum, 43 as little objectionable as any line would be. It runs through glades and avoids the highways; but it is objectionable. Moreover, there is doubt whether it would meet the demand of the public. a * It would have to be operated by the United Rail- - - word” with the President. - é ; % = ways line, and we would probably soon be met with a demand for be.ter facilities. If the United Railways wanted to emphasize that demand, it could easily prove the woful insufficiency of that single line with its out-of-the-way connections. All, sorts of buildings are moved nowadays, and -w& could probably put the Art Museum on rollers and trundle it to a convenient place. The plan is novel and needs consideratton before being ‘adopted. But in the long run, rolling the Museum to the people would be far better for both the Art Museum and the Park than trying to carry the people to the Museum. lll... i id The Austrian scheme of compelling every voter to vote might be a loss of liberty in this country, but it might save us from a total loss.

Everybody will sympathize with “Stork Mayor” Beall, whose earnest effort to establish the city of Alton in the favor of President Roosevelt has just been set at naught by the unfortunate molly- coddleism of one Alton man horsewhipping an- other. i After this, of course, Alton will be a “fight When he sees it in the ‘papers, he will. expect to read that two Alton men have fought a terrible duel with hatpins: that Alton men have had a hair pulling, or that the head of'some Alton family has had the awful experience of finding a woman under his bed.

When John Pierson Titcomb, the “sole surviv- ing naval officer of the Republie of Texas,”’ dies this June, it is not in Texas, but in Denver, Colo. And he was born in New Hampshire. When Texas was founded, the organization for its first American colony was made in Missow i, and as an American republic, tt got its start from St. Louis. But Moses Austin, who conceived the idea, and his son, Stephen F. Austin, who carried it out and became “the Father of Texas,” were both born in Connecticut, while Samuel Houston, who gave up citizenship and the governorship in

Under the law which went into effect June 15, a reduction of labor time to nine hours a day has been made for Missouri child workers. It is said that 70,000 children are affected, nearly half of them employed in St. Louis, and that “they are overjoyed at the change.” The extent of their over-enjoyment of ::ine hours as a day’s working time is still the extent of the city’s reproach. Some of the most important bones in the bodies of child workers are still only part- ly formed. They have in them still cartilage not yet fully developed into bone. The demands of natural growth are heavier on all the organs of their bodies, including heart, brain and lungs, than on the organs of grown men and women for whom nine hours’ work a day, six days in the week, is hard labor. We need more active philanthropy in fighting consumption and other diseases of overstraining when St. Louis children are overjoyed at the charge to nine hours’ work a day. We also need more active education for those who make profits on this labor, until they realize more fully the meaning of the moral cost of money.

Spencer of St. Louis, voiced through the medium ofan inter- view at Omaha, thet President Roosevelt will ac- cept a renomination next year, “if the peopl insist.” Emphatic declarations of unalterable convic- tions are all well enough in their way. But sober Be- sides, there is Teddy’s own oft-repeated working principle to be considered: ‘‘Insist upon what you want and then compromise upon the best you can get.” Accordingly, if the American people refuse to grant his higl.est and best desire, then he must be willing to compromise with them upon a third term. He’s a thoroughly consistent man, is Ted- dy, always eager to practice the doctrines he preaches. Well, then! Now that this point is clearly un- derstood, will Judge Spencer enlighten us upon another point? Must the people do their insisting wholly volun- tarily and of their own free will? Or is the Presi- dent, in his own understanding of the case, free to stimulate their insistence a bit, now and then? That is to say, is this to be a “mollycoddle” boom, or one full of the strenuous fire of his own person- ality? It isn’t like him to “start something” in which he takes a lively interest, and then go away and leave it to look after itself. Now that he has yielded this gracious compromise, is he at liberty to make the compromise binding and effective, to the full extent of all the power that’s in him? Speak up, Judge Spencer! In fairness to all, these points ought to be made clear.

—_— —_ 7 SAVE THE COLISEUM. The Coliseum project needs another strong pull to assure its success. Mr. James A. Smith, presi- dent of the Business Men’s League, who is at the head of the Finance Committee, reports a short- age of about $25,000 of the sum needéd to build the Coliseum. The Finance Committee has done faithful work. It has organized the project on a sound basis and has thoroughly canvassed the city. Its efforts should be seconded by all those who are inter- ested in the success of this plan to equip St. Louis with a great -convention and amusement audi- torium. The failure of the Coliseum project would be a calamity to the city. Every citizen who engages in public work fully realizes the need of a build- ing of the kind designed for erection at Jefferson and Washington avenues. Several plans for the benefit of the ‘city now hang in the balance await- ing the- outcome of the Coliseum movement. A failure at this point, when only a small sum is needed to complete the fund, would be a refiectio on St. Louis. / Many subscribers, realizing the value of the Coliseum to St. Louis, have done more than their share—have doubled their subscriptions. If the interests—many of them _ representing great wealth—which have not subscribed would do their share, the work would be finished. The time is short. There should be prompt action on the part of the men to whom appeals have been sent to make up the balance. s&s -~ In a logging camp a poor chopper is called a woodpecker.

MORAL TEACHING IN SCHOOLS. The problem of getting hold of the boy and im- planting a conscience in him before he gets under the influence of bad companions is ote of the most vital problems of the age. A page in the coming Sunday Post-Dispatch, showing the alarming in- crease of crimcs of violence among boys and young men, proves that new efforts must be made in behalf of the boy, in the way of giving him a moral start in life. a That 16 boys, in and near St. Louis, have either taken life or attempted murder within six months makes it evident. that the methods or the extent of moral training, or both, are insufficient for the effect sought. Parents and teachers should see that chil- dren become thoroughly interested in what ts good and worth while. It is the idle brain and | hand which create the so-called degenerate .

This is a just Judge, giving the railroads strict and even-handed justice, Just as if, by fair-dealing with us, they deserved fair-dealing by them. (Angry murmur and cries of Remember the railroads!) Now, friends, we want this 2-cent trangportation: ' We want Springfield some twe dollars and forty cents nearer, And Kansas City, by the great Kaw, accessible for five fifty. We want to sit by the window in the somewhat expensive Pullman And make a cent every time we pass a mile post, without turning a hand over. We want to go for two dollars where we used to go for three— We need the other dollar, friends, don’t we? (Cries of Yes! Yes! We do!) We don’t know if the railroads can afford to carry us for two cents: We would bet that they can; but we de know we can’t afford to pay three. (Applause, and cry of Why doesn’t the court investigate and find out if we can afford to pay three?) The point is well made, but my friend does not understand the function of a court: Courts are to protect the cerporations frem us. Legislatures are to protect us from them. (Laughter and cries of They do it! They do it!) Moreover, railroads are no judges of what they can or cannot afford: They couldn’t afford to go as far aa they did, but they thought they could, Which shows how much a railroad knows about what it can afford. The beautiful stew they’ve gotten it into proves how much the railroads know about the railroad business, You all know only too well this deadly typographical form (holding up a list ef killed and wounded): Can the rallroads afford that?

WHY WOMAN WINs.

ee : tm ae Helen Oldfield Believes Kipling Found the True Explanation. MAN unconsciously will learn @ great deal from a clever woman, provid- A ed she is clever enough to conceal her knowledge of her own cleverness, and to exalt his. The moment he suspects that a pill is hidden in the sweetmeats which she offers him, or imagines that she is trying to instruct or to manage him, presto! he will depart from her a her gates. , It is the woman who !s pretty and bright ana merry, and good or not g00d,’ as the case might be, who winds 4 man around her little finger. Such a woman is too wise to set up her own opinion in opposition to that of the man whom she wishes to please, but sits at his feet @nd learns of him. Rudyard Kipling makes his favorite, Mrs. Hauksbee, past mistress in the are of manipulation of men, say: ‘The first proof a man gives of his interest in.a woman is by talking to her of his own sweet self. 1I¢ she listens without yawning, he begins to like her; if she flatters his vanity, he ends by adoring her. Often men live and die not knowing that all their lives they unconscious- ly have adored brains in women; never suspecting that those whom they have loved as dear little simpletons were In truth clever women, who have known how to wear the mask of folly so admirably as to flatter by contrast their own nd be seen no more within

Roosevelt and Natural History. To the Editor of the Post-Dianatch. Your editorial on “A President’s Nat- ural History,” was interesting, and the testimony given as to his prolific rea4d- ing and scholarship afford an oppor- tunity to judge of his qualifications as a critic. Evidently Roosevelt is 2 man of wide reading, but of limited knowl- edge, hence his silly criticism of au- thors who have “knowledge” of things of which they write. President Roose- velt is undoubtedly great, but he is paunchy, rather than brainy, as % man of lettrs. Size, around the belt, may at- tract and overawe the weak, unthinking bookworms, but his lack of the brainy knowledge provokes the pity of thuse who know, as well as read, and who are willing rather to enjoy their knowl- edge than to pose as authorities on all) animal life. JOHN WILLIAMS. What Shall We Do With Our Boys? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It has been a question with parents during vacation seasons in gerat cities like St. Louis to know what is best to do with boys between the ages of 10 and 14. Little girls can be kept in the house and given work under their moth- er’s directions, but what shall be done with the boys? Heretofore work could be secured for thousands of boys dur- ing vacation months, but the new law which went inte effect June 14 posi- tively forbids under heavy penalty the employment of any boy whomsoever, in any business whatsoever, under the age of 14 years. I have had my boy deliver packages for a large talilorin company on Saturdays during the schoo months just to keep him off the streets and allies, and away from the evils that row eut of idleness. Now that school s over the same company offers him employment for the summer. His work is to deliver from 6 to 8 suits each day to pe mage se hoe i. the Radin ome I was greatly delighted to have him us em- ployed, and the little fellow is pleased to do the work. He is not quite 2 years of age. He was a messenger boy all last summer for the Postal Tele- graph Co., who gave him a fine rec- ommendation when he quit to enter school in the fall. Shall stout, healthy boys be deprived of such delightful out- door employment because a few are overworked in ill-ventilated factories: Cannot these evils be corrected without injuring more boys than are benefited ? © only hope of thousands of busy fathers and mothers in rearing their boys for useful and intelligent man- hood is to keep them employed in the right direction while young.

Etta’s brother, Will, made gaso'ine engines., Jimmie told him how to im- prove the sparker, on which improve- ment the Lauter engine became a big seller. When the quarrets between Etta and Jimmie culminated in his app’ica- tion for divorce Will paid the bill and took Etta home with him. She dressed expensively and lived luxuriously, even more luxurious than Hilda. ; By this time Jimmie’s pay had been reduced. There were more men being taught the things that made iim valu- able and pay was consequently be'ng reduced as rapidly as the supply over- topped the demand. And then, what?

I'll fix up a shop for-you and when you've done the job we'll treat you_handsome.”’ Jimmie was fraterinizing just at that moment with I. M. Sorry and R. E. Morse. He closed with Kramer instant- ly. He remained sober for a week and worked hard in the little shop. “He's got the right idea,”’ Kramer told Hilda, “‘and if we can keep him sober he’ll work it cut.’’ She was eager to rear all about Jim- mie, and Kramer told her the truth abeut the origin of the Gruen patent. “Then all I have ought to belong to.

-WHENCE CAME THE OCTOPUS An Explanation of the Speckled Trout Shower and Other Phe- nonrena From a Post-Dispatch Scientist. By A. B. Mac Donald.

wasl hist a 3K or two ago there wasa rain of speckled trout in Indepen ng storm and were borne upon the wind until dropped with a great downpour, f water into Independence. And now comes the discovery of a real ocean octopus clinging by its ten- acles to a picket fence in St. Louis. It was found there after a heavy rain storm. Scientists, it is quite likely, will assert that this young octopus was lifted from the Gulf of Mexico by one of the waterspouts common there and was carried with the clouds until it descended in St. Louis. Such freaks of nature are not uncommon. Showers of young frogs, of fish. and of earth worms have occurred so often fn different parts of the earth that well-informed persons have ceased to wonder at them. Darwin, in his “Origin of Species,’”’ tells of many such happenings, and thus explains how arate: lakes became stocked with fish and other forms of aquatic life. It is yet a mystery how such heavy substances as fish six inches in Aone and frogs which weigh an ounce or more, and pebbles, can be held in the * per strata of the air and wafted for many miles.

THAT HAS TO MANY PITCHERS Chicago Cubs Suffering From ~ Over-Supply of Good Box Artists.

CANNOT WORK OFTEN

Both St. Louis Teams Come Home on the Bit Easily.

- NLIKE most baseball managers, U) who afre continuously in a quan- dary because of the possession of an insufficient number of good pitchers, Manager Chance of the Chicago Cubs has the perplexity of choosing one of his eight good box artists each day and procure the best results. So large is his staff of good men that it is impossible to work all of them as often as it is needed for them to re- tain control and greatest effectiveness, and this cannot help but militate @gainst the success of the team from a pitching standpoint. On the staff of-the Cubs are eight men—Overall, Lundgren, Taylor, Brown, Reulbach, Pfeister, Fraser and Durbin, A good pitcher needs plenty of work to remain a good pitcher, and with such a galaxy of stars as these, the best in the National League, without exception, and probably in the country, Chance's perplexity is indeed great as to which man should be used, unless one has been especially picked and groomed for a certain game and series, as was Mordecai Brown for the New York Giants’ series, when he pitched the first and last game and won both against Mathewson and Ames. The morning practice all ball clubs “ndulge in does a great deal for them, ‘but there is nothing at stake and no pitcher gets the work he does when fac- ing an enemy, and every ball he puts over the plate counts. Lack of sufficient work in games is ‘tbownd to injure Chance’s staff, as the pitehers will lose control and effect- iveness. Picks Out a Few. Manager. Chance has thought it best at times to pick out four or five of his best men and work them regularly, keeping the balance tn reserve and ready to jump in at any moment that one of the regular men begins to falter. But certain pitchers are more effective gainst certain teams, and even should yYance adopt such a rule he would be atinually breaking it, because he 11d wamt to choose a certain pitcher a ee Same against a certain owh is the only member of the staff is used more frequently than the ners.

——_——-—— last game against the New York Giants, nine days intervening. Fans often wonder why Chance does not announce 24 hours ahead of time which of his numerous pitchers will work in the game of the next day. The reason is that the manager has no more idea than the rooter who wants to know. Everything depends upon cir- cumstances and conditions. In the afternoon game at Pittsburg on May 30 Chance had announced that he expected to use Pfiester. While the teams were practicing Fraser got to warming up with one or the catchers and Chance happened to see him at work. He looked so good to the mana- ger that after a little he asked Fraser how he felt. Fraser said he was fine and Chance told him to work. The or- | der for Fraser to pitch was given just as the umpire was getting the batteries from the managers, two minutes before the game began. This is why announce- ment of pitchers is not always correct. St. Louis Teams Wen. Again did both St. Louis teams win on the same day, something which has hap- pened seldom this season. The Browns downed the Highlanders, score 9 to 0, and the Cardinals walloped the Brook- lynites by a score of 12 to 4. It was Pelty’s fourth straight victory, three of which have been _ shut-outs. Pelty is in condition now and he may be expected to win in nearly every game he works. The Browns gathered i4 safe raps off Hogg and Kitson, while the Highlanders were able to register only five off Barney. Rickey caught his first full game of the season for Griffith, and barring a sore arm, he put up & good exhibition. Hartzell was sent to third and Butler covered second and the switch worked fine. Butler again did nobly with the stick. He knocked out four out of four, all nretty singles. The Cardinals hit the ball so hard and sent it so far that before they were re- tired in the fifth anu seventh innings the Brooklyn outfielders were ready to drop Noonan, Hostetter and Burch were credited with doubles, Byrne, Murray and Noonan with triples and Karger got a home run. In the field the Car- dinals made only one error, which didn’t count for much. GOOD SPORT ON A JAMESTOWN Best Men in the Country Entered for Contests at Fair in Virginia.

HAS BAT NELSON DRUPPED BACK Abe Attell Says That the Little Fighter Is a Candidate for Boneyard.

Abe Attell, who is to wrestle here in St. Louis July 4, is responsible for the Statement that Battling Nelson is a candidate for the boneyard. The clever Californian put the gloves on with the Dane-a short while ago in Chicago and esserts very positively that the Hege- wisch nonpareil is far from being the rugged punishment-eater he was before he met his first defeat at the hands of Joe Gans. There is probably more truth than fic- tein in this discovery of Attell's. The punishment that Gans administered to the Dane in the first 30 rounds of their fight at Goldfield was severe enough to undermine the constitution of a cari- bou.

The cheek bones didn't stand out so sharply. But his skin was sun- browned as in the old days. His eyes were clear. His chest stood out six inches in advance of his waist line. He looked not a pound heavier nor a day older than the Jeff who trained Corbett with me at Carsen 10 years ago. Jeff extended his great paw and we shook hands. We pushed through the crowd to a quiet corner. Jim took out a hand- kerchief and mopped up a little cut over his cheek bone. “Shaved so fast trying to get down here in a hurry that I cut myself,”’ he explained with a grin. en ally. “That's what they're all asking ™e, Bob.

Yale men in St. Louis, home for the summer, bring the word that Charles who fought under the of Rogers be- fore the National Sporting Club in New York City Monday night and was de- feated, is generally known as a grad- uate of the academic department of Yale, son of Charles Fox, a prominent business man and extensive property owner of Bridgeport, Conn. Fox's entrance in the ring for pugi- listic honors created a sensation. He is prominent in Bridgeport polities. He ran for County Sheriff on the Demo- cratic ticket last fall and was defeated by a small margin. He sits in the councils of his party on all important matters and has been a very liberal contributor to every campaign for the past six years. Fox is the sole heir to his father’s estate, which is valued at about $250, - 000. His friends say tHat he has ambition to be the champion heavy- weight pugilist of the world. For his fight he secretly trained for four months and only a very few of his closest friends knew of his plans. Fox has been an athlete since his col- lege days and is the proud possessor of the Yale “Y. He is 31 years old, is married and has a family and lives in a fine residence in Fairfiela. His de- feat was a surprise to his Bridgeport and New Haven friends, who had wagered that he would put Rogers out before the termination of the 10- bout. Fox says he will try again and is not dismayed at his defeat. lie weighs 220 pom when in fighting trim. | Fox, name ‘Jack Kelly” against Joe an round Bic ENTAY FOF GULF TOURNEY Nearly Two Hundred Enthusiasts Will Compete Saturday on the Normandie Links.

A PICTURESQUE PARADE Pyramids, Bazars and the Donkey Boys All Interest the Traveler. ee a ee men For some reason the last year or 80 has marked an unprecedented rush of Americans to Egypt. More. from the United States have visited the valley of the Nile this season than ever before, and the hotels are well booked up for next winter’s invasion. For the last 30 years Egypt, from Cairo to Assuan, has been the favorite rendezvous of the English, and they, too, were seen there in increased numbers this year. But the ‘American invasion is just beginn!ng. It is amusing to hear Cairo alluded to as.“a modern city,” as it often is. The only modern features in it are the elec- tric street cars, of which there are a few, and the hotels, if they can be ca‘a- logued among the features. From the moment one steps from the Mamburg finer at Alexandria the picture becoines less and less modern, and by the time one has reached Cairo, three hours hence by express from Alexandria, he is carried back thousands of years. To the American accustomed to counting his years in decades, Cairo is certainly any- thing but modern. True enough, the electric bus meets one at the station, and the interpreter in native costume sm § somewhat of the St. Leuis Fair; ut after you are on your way to the hotel, St. Louis is lost, and everything becomes Egyptian. Many Blind People. The first thing that impresses the stranger in Cairo is the number of blind—men, women and children—tc be found everywhere in the shops and on the streets. Ophthalmia is very prev- alent throughout Egypt. Because of Superstition concerning ‘‘the evil eve," the native mothers of the middle or the lower class do not wash the eyes of their babies at all. Watching the flies buzzing unheeded around and upon these blind children, a stranger hastens to buy a fly whisk. These are for sale everywhere, and are quite attractive with their ornaments of fancy beads and palm-leaf fibre. Blind beggars greet one at every corner. Even in the high- class Egyptian families there are many blind. The goods displayed to tourists in greatest quantity in Cairo are those em- broidered with gold threads on grass cloth, showing exquisite needlework, and also the white-and-silver and black-and- ver scarfs, so popular with the tour- t, and which cost a goodly price in Europe and America, but are fair- ly. rea@Ponable in Cairo, considering the material and the work they represent. Oranges are the chief winter fruit of Egypt, and they are delicious, thin- skinned, juicy and sweet, and are sold for four or five cents each in American money. Pyramids and Bazars. There are two places which attract the teurist first of all, and it depends entirely on whether the traveler is a Man or a woman which is visited first. They are the pyramids and the bazars. It is somewhat surprising to learn that the electric tram runs out to the pyra- mids, and that itis by far the easiest _ although one may drive out from Cairo to the pyramids befcre their massiveness and quickest method of reaching them, in an hour’s time. It takes several visits is realized or appreciated, and even dur- fee a ing the third visit the wonderfu] organi- thousand men for thirty years in piling 3M. r . gation of labor which controlled thirty Focks upon rocks appealed more to the ‘writer than did the result of that labor. The majority of the donkey boys in #airo speak a smattering of English, _ and they are only too willing to prac- aS > _* ttlee on anybody and everybody. They : have a deal of native shrewdness in dis- whether the tourist be Eng- : “Nish, ‘German or American, and their > ponversation is guided thereby.
