The sentencing of the convicted Mayor was in one respect without a parallel in the criminal annals of San Francisco. Half a dozen times Judge Dunne was in- terrupted by Schmitz, who protested in strong words against the ‘‘delivery of a lecture’ instead of the pronouncement of.judgment. .He accused the Court of unnecessarily humiliating him and giv- ing opportunity for further humiliation by the reporting of his remarks in the press. Once, replying to the prisoner, Judge Dunne said: “Such brazen effrontery was probably no more than should be expected and it was the duty of the Court to hear it in patience.”’ At another time Attorney Metson of the defense interposed a vigorous objec- tion, in support of his client, to ‘‘the Court's lecture.’’ But only curious and Lectures Schmitz’s Lawyer. Judge Dunne'’s reply was that Mr. Metson, instead of interrupting the pro- ceedings, Ought to be given a day in court to answer the charge that he had attempted to tamper with the jury which convicted Schmitz.

When Mrs. Mary Davidson was re- leased from custody by the police of the Carr Street Station Monday morning af- ter her arrest had been obtained through the trailing done by Charlie Martin, a 15-year-old boy detective, Mrs. Emma Richard ot 214 Carr street again lost trace of her 9-year-old son who she says is being wrongfully held by the other woman, Mrs. Davidson took the boy and her own daughter after ner release acrog#s the Eads Bridge, according to her for- mer neighbors at 1533 Franklin avenue, where Charlie Martin says he found Mrs. Davidson last Sunday. A writ of habeas corpus issued in Clayton, requiring Mrs. Davidson to pro- duce the boy, Ward Richard, in court, had not been served when Capt. O’ Mal- ley of the Carr Street Station ordered her release. Mrs. Richard applied for the writ after she saw her son with Mrs. Davidson at Delmar Garden on July 4. Mrs. Richard said that this was the first meeting with her son in seven years, during which period she had been searching for him. Had Fight in Garden, At the garden she tried to take Ward from his foster mother. A struggle en- sued and Mrs. Davidson carried the boy away. Mrs. Richard says that she lost trace of them from that moment. Charlie Martin of 922 North Fifteenth street read of the case in the Post-Dis- patch. He thought that he knew the missing boy from the description given by Mrs. Richard. He says that he went to Mrs. Richard and told her that he would find her son if she made it worth while. , In the lodging house where Mrs. Dav- idson resided he learned that the boy was there with Mrs. Davidson. He watched the premises, after notifying Mrs. Richard. About 7 p. m. Sunday, Charlies says, Mrs. Davidson, with her young daugh. ter, and the boy, went east on Franklin avenue.

young Martin. “I made out that she was going over the bridge into Illinois. ' 'At Seventh

I also said that I knew where the mother was.” Mrs. Richard had been advised by Capt. O'Malley to engage a lawyer and go into the courts {f she wants to con- test her right to Ward. Capt.

- LODGED IN WINDPIPE

Lad Became Unconscious from Lack of Air, but Father Restored Him.

“Feel pretty good,’ says 3-year-old Howard Gentry, who was pronounced dead five times in 10 days. Ruddy-cheeked and chipper, Howard wat on the veranda of the Mayfield San- itarum Monday looking for pictures of automobiles in the advertising pages of @ magazine. Playing on a sand pile near his home at Big Springs, Montgomery County, Mo., 100 miles from St. Louis, the little fellow found ‘a whole lot of pretty jacks,” little round stones. He put some of them in his mouth and one of them slipped down his throat. “4 Ghoked dead five times, but papa and the doctors saved me,” he said Monday. ‘If I hadn’t died the last time the doctors were going to cut me.” The part taken by Thomas Owen Gen- try; the father, in saving the boy’s life no small one. When the child for want of air, his father would the into Howard's mouth, giving the air‘in his own lungs to save his baby's life. To do this he would have to take long, deep breaths in rapid succession and the effort was so great that after a few minutes the strong, hard-muscled farmer would be exhausted. But each time he was rewarded by seeing a trace of lor return to the boy’s cheeks. Thought to Be Dead. ward swallowed the stone two yeéks ago. He ran to the house and told his mother, Mrs. Anna Belle Gen- try. While she was hurrying to him he gasped and fell to the floor unconscious. Mrs. Gentry c.li.! a neighbor, Mrs. James Sneathen. .Failing to revive the boy, they sent for Dr. Leslie, who told theth Howard was dead. While Mrs. Gentry bent over the child phen 4 a slight quivering of, the lips. By ® sign she knew that there was still hope. Dr. Hoffman was summoned. He restofed the boy to consciousness, but could not remove’ the obstruction. That night Howard ate a hearty sup- per and seemed well, except for occa- sional coughting spells. The next morn- in Tuesday of week before last, he became unconscious and was thought to be cead. Arrangements for the’ funeral were being made when he shdéwed signs of life. Friday and Saturday there were sim- flar lapses. Sunday and Monday How- _ @rd seemed ~*ry well, but Tuesday he ' @g@in sank into coma. That night his father ‘and mother hurried to St. Louis with him and took him to the Mayfield Sanitarium. ~ Alrpump Used Successfully. ‘Day and night the father sat by the boy’s bed and at intervals he breathed the breath of his own strong life into the tiny frame. Dr. Charles Wagner made four X-ray p'stures, one of which showed the stor, lodged in the windpipe near the ent~ance to the lungs.

MsucTION y, “ PumMpP TUBE,

T WAS a deuced hot night for “The | Dacing Girl’ or any other daughter of Eve to weave a web of tempestu- ous passion for the ensnaring of the souls of men, but Virginia Harned did it at the Suburban last night—and, appar- ently, to the high satisfaction of a crowded house. Henry Arthur Jones’ story of the Quaker maiden who pre- ferred the fleshpots of Egypt to the self- denying faith of her fathers was told in all its intensity—including the famous “Harden fall’ down a. staircase, which was one of the prime elements of the first American hit of the play. This fall, however, provoked by the denunciation of Drusilla Ives, ‘“‘the dancing girl,’’ by her stern old father in the third act, where he discovers that she is the notorious Diana Valrose of evil London life, is not by any means the most impressive: moment of the drama. There are at least two emotion- al climaxes which surpass it in legiti- mate dramatic power—those of the scene where Drusilla does her ultimate best for the tempting and ruination of John Christison, and where she casts off Val- entine Danecourt, Earl of Guisebury, upon learning of the wreck of his for- tunes. In these scenes Miss Harned was distinctly at her strongest, and in the first she led up to a hit by A. H. Van Buren, as John Christison, which was really the big hit of the night, while in the second, William Courtenay, her leading man, did his most. effective work. Miss Harned plays the role of Drusilla precisely, I imagine, as that character was conceived by its creator—an utter- ly soulless, vanity-loving, cold and cruel woman—and the result is :: portrait of exceptional strength in moral ugliness. Iiut it is also a repellant and depressing portrait, because a natur2 as balily hard and unloving as that of Drusilla cannot but impress the average mind as being monstrous, void of the faintest reason for an excusing of its sins and itself destroying all possible sympathy or regret for its final tragic fate. Nev- ertheless, it has to be played along these lines—a Camille without Camille’s natural loveliness of soul—and Miss Harned is artist enough to mect the re- quirements of the situation. She scored an undeniable success with last night’s house in so doing, repulsive though Drusilla lived in memory thereafter. The star's support was exceptionally etrong, even tor the excellent Suburban company. Both Mr. Courtenay and Mr. Van Buren pleyed with the keenest ap- preciation of the opportunities of their respective roles—Van Buren with espe- cial forcefulness—anc came ne&ér making a triple-star production of ‘““The Dancing Girl.’’ Next in importance was the work of Florence Fisher in the pretty and appealing part of Sybil Crake, Miss Fisher doing so well as to share with the star the applause and curtain calls given at the close of one of the four acts. Her sweet, true and cxzpressive voice was eard to singular advantage— if this swiftly rising young actress will just slur the terminal ‘‘r’’ a bit more in her speech, softening it and robhing it of a ‘“‘schoolmarm”’ twang that other- wise attaches to it, ner enunciation es- pecially in English reles, will be vastly improved. She was very magoetic and winning in last night's effort, and the audience made much of her. The old David Ives of Harry Fenwick was really a “big’’ piece of character work, simple, truthful and impressive. Morris McHugh made a good minor hit as Crake, the Duke of Guiseburv’s busi- ness agent, and Walter Gilbert had an- other familiar role as the feather- brained Reggie Slingsby, a friend of Guisebury’s. The Ledy Bawtry of Miss Helen Courtney deserves favorable men- tion, ard Miss Mamie Cunningham of St. Louis, who appeared in the role of Sister Beatrice, in the last act, acquitted herself very creditably indeed.

“Robert Emmet” at Heights, Robert Emmett, the great Irish pa- triot, is undoubtedly destined to turn all kinds of somesaults in his martyr grave this week if he has any way of knowing what's going on at West End Heights. With seven night and sever- al matinee exhibitions on tap for the week the result from the shakeup across the River Styx is anxiously awaited on this side of the Mississip- pi. He may discover he isn't dead after all. It isn’t any fault of Frank La Rue, leading man at the Heights, who is playing the Emmet role most accept- ably as it is laid down for him in the lines. He is at his best in the thrilling dock scene, where, con- ‘demned to die as an enemy of En- gland, he protests against the injus- tice of his fate. The escape, the farce battle and other similar scenes would set the winter gallery gods of a 10-20-80 melodrama house wild. Miss Fuller does justice to the 1 ing female role of Sarah Curran and Alice Donovan makes a typical little wild Irish rose. The general support is adequate. The exasperatingly long sions—three of them were at least 15 minutes long, and when the curtain finally did go up all the visible change was the dropping of a curtain—should be shortened. ead- intermis-

Young, of whom the Delmar audiences expect much, has little to do ‘in the role of Wun Hi, proprietor of |the Japanese tea house. In the first act ‘he was continually running on and off the stage, int'oducing the other char- ‘acters and explaining what their aims ‘and schemes were. In the second act | he had more of a chance and he de | veloped an imitation tenor voice in his | “Ching-a-Ling-a-Ling”’ song that may some day make him a rival of Frank Rushworth. Young was funny in a droll sort of way, though we like him better as a sputtering German than as a pig- : tailed Chinaman. | Edwin A.

Their toy duet, after Miss Deyo had made her entrance pulling a jinriksha instead of riding in it, was charming. Miss Deyo has the best role that has been given to her at Delmar and she knew it. As the English girl she was sweet and pleasing, and, when she put on the disguise of a Geisha girl and sang the “Chon Kina’ song, she was altogether alluring and one could sym- pathize with the restlessness of William Herman West, who played the Marquis Imari and served as chief of police. He could not sit still while the boyus Geisha was. singing and dancing to show her value. Miss Caecilia Rhoda had the title role and many charming songs. She sang them well, so well in fact that her en- cores did much to make the perform- ance last fifteen minutes longer than “ “1 a

Miss Alice Hills again has @ chance to use her fine contralte voice and she should have this chance every week, even if a song has to be interpolated. She sings too well to be used only for her character comedy work. The opera has not been seen in St. Louis in several years and is seldom used by summer stock organizations. This may be due to the fact that it re- quires a large cast of capable perform- | ers. This cast is available at Delmar and the audience last night showed that “The Geisha” is popular.

Tossed among nearly six thousand hands these begs became symlLolic of the spirit of brotherhood that animated the day. Practical socialism was shown in the tremendous hampers of food upon which the socia) picnickers feasted royally. These evidences of socialism were emphasized by the bean guessing con- test, out of the profits of which the propaganda of the faith will be pro- Claimed for another year in printer’s ink and by word of mouth. Every loyal Socialist took a chance of providing his wife, daughter or sweetheart with a sewing machine and a copy of ‘“‘The : Jungle.” Again the symbolic bean of plenty took the lead, an unknown number of them swinging in a giass guessing jar over the displayed books of thinkers which reflected the discussions among neighboriy groups at tables under the trees.

That very few of these works were sold scemed to imply that most of them had been read by the 6000 Socialists who forgot their city cares in the woods. Throngs of them eyed the array of doc- trine familiarly. Energetic nods or hegative signs expressed their accord or disapproval of the utterances of these masters.

In the front rank on the gang plank were J. A. Hoehn, editor of Labor, and Mr. Brandt, who ran twice on the So- cilalist ticket for Mayor. When the crowd surged forward under impetus from those in the rear, about a dozen short yellow billvs appeared in the hands of a squad of men on the boat. No one appeared to know who they were. But the clubs were used upon those in front. Several persons were injured, among them two women who fainted from the crush. The billys were used only a few times until the crowd began stream- ing on the steamer deck. August Bader of 2336 South Ninth street and Wenzes- laus Sedlak of 5s-.

“But I Still Love Will,” She Says, of Victim in the Hospital. Mrs. Lily Lark, a half-breed Cherokee, held William Kinney against the wal: of ‘a;th her left hand while she plunged a knife into his abdomen with her right hand. For four years Mrs. Lark and Kinney had iived together. Frequently, she says, he struck her and she took his abuse ineekly. When she went to Huber’s and cemanded that he go with her to their iome, 826 Brooklyn street, he slapped her on the neck, she says. All the ‘ury of her Indian nature was aroused and she sought revenge for all past abuses vith a quick stroke of her knife. Now she is a prisoner at the North Market Street Station, awaiting the out- come of Kinney’s injuries. Physicians at the City Hospital say they are seri- 01s. Mrs. Lark is not worred about that. “Not Hurt Bad.” “He’s not hurt bad,’ she suid Mon- cay. “He turned over in bed when If he was hurt bad, he couldn’t turn over. “But whether he gets well or not, it's all off between us. He'll never strike me any more. I told him so before I stuck my iittle knife in him. ‘IT still love him,’’ she added. “He's the only man I ever loved. I never loved my husband, and often told him so.” The stabbing of Kinney is the tragic climax to the strange life story of Mrs. Lark. Her father was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. She was born on the Cherokee reservation, near Asheville, a Her father’s name was Tuscumlum. That was the only name he had among the Indians, she says, but he afterward acquired the added name of ‘Nickie’’ from the white persons in North Carv- lina, for whom he acted as interpreter. Her mother, Mrs. Lark says, was a French woman, reared in England, who came to North Carolina as an immi- grant. Mrs. Lark’s maiden name was Lillie Tuscumlum and- she went to school for a time at Carlisle, Pa. When she was about 17 years old her parents gave her $2500, she said, and she started out for herself in the world. She came to St. Louis about twelve years ago and later married Robert Lark.

Seven new indictments against E@- ward G. Lewis, president of the Peo- | Publishing Co., were made public Mon- were kept secret until Lewis and other defendants were notified to appear to give bond. In one indictment Lewis and Francis V. Putnam,-cashier of the bank, and treasurer of the publishing company, are charged with using the mails in fur- therance of a scheme to defraud the stockholders of the bank. It is charged in the indictment that

receiver, Lewis and Putnam mailed ‘“glittering’’ prospectuses to the stock- holders, asking them to send in their bank stock and receive in return for it stock of the publishing company and the personal notes of Lewis. The Gov- ernment charges that by this means the whole number of stockholders were de- frauded out of $1,500,000. Lewis and Putnam gave bond on this indictment in the sum of $3000 each, A new indictment was also returned against Lewis, Frank J. Cabot and Wil- liam M. Miller, charging a conspiracy to defraud the Government on postage rates on the mailing of the Lewis publi- cation. This indictment was made nec- essary by technical errors in One Tre- turned by a previous grand jury. Four indictments were returned against Lewis alone, charging him with a scheme to defraud through the Peo- ple’s United States Bank. On One of these indictments he gave a $3000 bond, and on the other three his personal rec- ognizance was accepted. The bonds were signed by L. B. Teb- betts, Nathan Frank, Lon V. Stephens, James F. Coyle and Jackson Johnson. Judge Trieber, after the grand jury report was made public, denied the motion filed by Lewis’ attorneys last week, asking that the Lewis cases be transferred from the District to the Cir- cuit Court.

She grabbed that bottle and commenced drinking that milk so fast she nearly choked, and cried when it was all gone. Two hours later, when she saw me preparing the bottle, she commenced to goo, and now jumps up and down and holds out her arms whenever she sees the bottle. She certainly does love that pure, good milk, and I don’t blame her, for see how fast it is making her well and strong. I don’t see what we poor folks would do these hot days without the Pure Milk Fund. It is saving more lives every day than any other two charities put together, I am sure.” Isn’t it worth a little bit of trouble on your part, to save these helpless, inno- cent little lives? The pure milk has cured every baby to whom it has been given. Isn’t that a sweeping statement? But it is a true one, and one which ev- ery mother who has used it will verify. What would become of all these babies without the Pure Milk Fund? What did become of ‘them before its existence? They died, carried off by the hundreds, by starvation and intense heat. Is‘here any nobler, worthier work than saving the lives of the helpless, innocent little creatures, who are absolutely dependent upon our goodness of heart for their ex- istence? Can you ask any better re- ward than the contentment and freedom from the terrible pain of the babies and the thanks and gratitude of the burden- laden mothers? Send us what you can— help us save the lives of St. Louis’ fu- ture men and women. .Let us give them a fair start, build up for them a good, strong constitution, that they may grow up a generation of strong men and healthy women. i.

GEORGE WILLIAMS TRIAL 1S RESUMED Attorney Gernez Says Defense Will Prove Baker Didn’t See Lee Killian Shot.

After a delay of 30 days, caused by the disappearance of Joseph Baker, one of the State’s important witnesses, the trial of former Detective George Williams for the murder of Lé&e Kil- lian, also a former detective, was re- sumed before Judge Sale Monday morning. The impaneling of a jury will prob- ably not be complete@ before Tuesday. Former Judge Orrick Bishep appeared for the first time as one of the de- fendant’s attorneys. Attorney Gernez, also representing Williams, says the defense will be able to show that Ba- ker was not an eye-witness to the shooting. When he returned: to St. Louis, after being arrested in Detroit, Baker de- clared that he had been induced to go away by Attorney Gernez. As a result Mr. Gernez was cited to appest before Judge Sale on the charge of contempt, which is still pending. Killian was killed by Williams itn Mc- Grath & McMahon’s saloon, Feb. 27 last.

MEMORY RETURNS TO DYING MAN Mind of Alton Man Blank During

CALLED ON WIDOW TO END HIS Litt At the home of his former sweetheart in East St. Louis, Louis Hawkins, an actor in the Chester Comedy Company, swallowed carbolic acid Sunday night and died within an hour. His mother at Ashley, Mo., has been notified. Hawkins was 23 years old and one year ago returned from three years’ service in the army. When he left Ash- ley for the army he was engaged to be married to Miss Grace Etschman, his childhood companion and sweetheart. During his army service Miss Etsch- man was married to a man of the name of Robinson, and is now a widow of one month. Mrs. Robinson is now 22 years old and lives with her mother, Mrs. 8. Btsch- man, at 704 North Twenty-sixth street, East St. Louis. After her husband's death Mrs. Robinson visited Hawkins’ mother at Ashley two weeks ago and there met Louis Hawkins for the first time since he left for the army. The old love was rekindled and after a week's visit Mrs. Robinson returned to her mother’s home in East St. Louis. Hawkins joined a theatrical company ‘and started on his circuit. Sunday his company passed through Bast St. Louis and he stopped for a visit with Mrs, Robinson. When he arrived at Mrs. Etschman’s home he was in a jovial mood, but mem.- bers of the family say it was plain that

But this year these same excursionists bit- terly denounced the boat management, and hundreds of mothers of families vowed that it would be their last river excursion. What caused this sudden revulsion? They were, as usuel, the same class of people, working pce ple. including all classes of artisans and @ sprinkling of business and professional men. The cominittee did its routine work as usual. This is Hmited to the ticket sales, the boat retaining all other privileges, including gamb- ing. Wy then this bitterness of the formerly con- tented and happy excursionists? My answer to this is the recent acquisition by the boat of gambling facilities with their retinue of those who follow that occupation. It was by people of this character that the assault was made at the foot of Olive street. Two men, one of them a giant of brute atrength, began their fight in among tle women and children and Igocked eight or ten men down with chairs and fists. The arrest of one was effected. while the other was spirited away. To my surprise I found, after assuring myself that one had escaped, that the one in custody of the officer had been set . So the friends of the boat got away. Repeated rushes were made at the writer, who was known to have considerable money and who was some distance away from where the attack began.

MEN ARE

Assert They Will Not Postpone Action After Next Monday.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, July 8.— The strike sched- uled to take place today in the offices of the Postal and Western Union Tele- graph here has been postponed for one week at the request of National Presj- dent S. J. Small, who wired from Gan Francisco asking for such action by the local union. When E. M. Moore, chairman of the local executive board, asked that the strike be postponed for one week, the wildest demonstration took place. Rad- ical members almoist§ succeeded in stampeding the meeting wilth cat calls of “cold feet,’’ cowards” and “weak ones,’ but when the action was ex- plained to the rank and file postpone- ment carried. There was not a member of the national executive board present who would admit he had _ courage enough to appear before the next meet- ing and ask that a further postpone- ment be granted. To Apprise Commissioner. understood Deputy President Konenkamp has signed a document guaranteeing that no strike will be called until Commissioner Neill has full knowledge of it. On the other hand President Clowry has guaranteed the comissioner that no discrimination will be made against any man until he has been apprised of such discrimination. Commissioner Neill will push his medi- ation efforts, beginning today. Meet- ings have been arranged between the commissioner and T. P. Cook, represent- ing the Western Union and W. I. Capen, representing the Postal com- pany, and with the three members of the international executive board and General Secretary Welsey Russell, G. Dal Jones, chief telegrapher of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, said the action of Sunday's meeting could not be duplicated. “There will be no use in trying to drag a settiement through a number of weeks,’ declared Mr. Jones. ‘‘Settle- ment must be reached this werk if at all, and it is my belief Commissioner Neill will be successful. Concessions will have to be granted by both sides, but any settlement that does not allow exercise of union principles had better not be made.”’ Thinks Union Will Win. Deputy President Konenkamp said he was hopeful of final victory for the union, *‘We have had some disagreeable ques- tions to deal with,’ he declared, ‘‘and we have met them with mor. or less success. The companies do not like the idea of re-employing an operator whom they have discharged, even though the dismissal was solely on the grounds of too much unionism. It is hard to ask chief operators who have § dis- charged a man to reinstate that man and by doing so acknowledge unon power over their action, but it has to be done and when we get through with the present controversy I believe union men will be let alone as long as they do their work according to office ru'es. When they do not they can exyrect no help from the union, for we do not pro- pose to allow the union to become the means through which men can violate their obligations to their employers.” Regarding the mediation that will continue this week, neither Secretary Russell nor members of the board would say that will take place. Much will de- pend on the outcome of the meeting in San Francisco today. Should failure re- sult in President Small’s efforts to set- tle the strikeonthe coast,it is within his power to direct a strike in Chicago or in any other city without further de- lay. It is

As the creator of the modern “blood and iron’ method of control in what would otherwise be- come high civilization, Bismarck was capable of greater candor than any one of his successors in that business. He defined its method in one of his great War-speeches in the Reichstag, and its method is simplicity itself. It is simply that of letting loose the “Furor Teutonicus,” or “‘Berserkerwuth,”’ ata political crisis. With the Berserkerwuth let loose as an epidemic, no other crisis can exist ex- ._ cept the one it creates. Nothing‘can be seen except red. All the other colors and shades of color disappear. When the principal warships of the American Navy are massed in the Pacific this year, with no crisis actually in sight except that which may be created by the attempt to stop this Government at home, the Berserkerwuth and the Furor Teu- _ tofifeus are still held ready to be let loose when it may seem advisable to “start en. for next year. The little Bismarcks of the present are not - ikely to learn anything their master in the art of _ supplanting civilization with the “Teutonic fury” and the “Berserker craze,’ did not know before _ them.

T. He was viding toward Mexico when he was overtaken - some miles from the fort. - Such an attempt at his age—he is anywhere from 80 to 125—is characteristic of Geronimo. _ The old fellow has been bad, but can’t has never _ been in his lexicon.- Some time ago there was _ published a book in which the chief told, through an interpreter, the simple story of his life.

The evidence that as Secretary of Agriculture, : Wilson is developing the nature- bit, does not consist merely of his offi- bd of accounting for the high price of poet by the mathematics of rat production. lay be considered as circumstantial, but the evidence is more recent and more convin- ee 4 his “Year Book” just issued and prefaced by ; long paper addressed over his signature “To s President,” he drops the subject of rats for he time being and takes up birds, his object forced against unofficial nature-fakers who at-| tribute human habits to the lower animals, Secre- tary Wilson begins circulating officially this story that foreign weaver-birds as soon as imported into the United States, may begim to manufacture Dingley woolens, which he represents as “neat and compact.” Perhaps they are. Perhaps, how- ever, they are like other Dingley woolens, pro- tected by a tax of from fifty cents on the dollar up. Perhaps after they are wet even by a drizzling rain, they show what “neatness and compactness”’ mean from the Dingley standpoint. Regardless of that point, Hon. James Wilson is certainly attributing human habits to the lower animals in this case. If this is not nature-faking, what is? The Kaiser says that Europeans are foolish in allowing the Japanese to copy their methods and learn their secrets. Let’s see; wasn’t there a story of German officers instructing the Japanese in military tactics? oe THE RIGHT SORT OF ‘ PARTISANSHIP. of Acting on the theory that “the party in pow- er is bound to cleanse itself,” partisans in Stone County, Missouri, has let in the light on the “Courthouse ring” and given political grafting a setback from which it is not lkely soon to re- cover in Stone County. As a beginning and an example, this publicity, with its result in the restoration of law, is worth at least as much to the future of the country as any work of the same kind which has been done in any large city of the United States. Dur- ing the period of lobby control of politics, with corporation lobbyists as county “bosses,” the “Courthouse ring” became an established insti- tution, working corruption not only for politics, but for business and social life. Few counties in Missouri, or any other State, wholly escaped this demoralizing influence. The embezziement of county funds shown to have been systematic in Stone County, is a compara- tively trivial detail of the general system of grafting and dishonesty which corporation boss- ism and lobby control made habitual in whatever party it found dominant and ready for its corrupt influences. The reform which begins at the County Court- house can do more for the United States and for civilization than any reform which begins at Washington. When the party in power actually begins to “cleanse itself’ at the County Court- house, it will cleanse the State capitals and the national capital also. : This sort of partisanship, this sense of parti- san responsibility has no other limit to its power for usefulness than its own earnestness in effort to show that honest partisanship means inde- pendent American manhood, controlled not by party bosses, but by the cohscience of self-gov- erning citizenship. Ae, Le. A»... i i Judge Marion Harland declares that it should be contrary to law everywhere for a gir] of 16 anil a boy of 19 to marry. The Judge is right. How can the children pay their way at present prices of living? a ae “THE ELKINS LAW.” As a promoter of irresponsibility, Stephen B. Elkins began in the Southwest when it was being exploited by land rings, star-route rings and rings of all kinds. His training and his associa- tions with others educated in the same school made him a reputed millionaire, a United States Senator and t4«: author of the “Elkins law,” the operation of which is objected to by the Presi- dent of Princeton University on the ground that it is framed to protect dishonesty from the ordi- nary operation of law under which the penalty for fraud is imprisonment. He thinks that the operation of every ‘such law is to shield fraud- ulency from accountability. When such men as President Woodrow Wil- son of Princeton, thus recognize their own re sponsibility and meet it squarely, they insure a just, peaceable and progressive solution of what- ever problems the country was to solve. It is not merely the fraudulency of the country, but its honesty that must come to account for results. When honesty and intelligence do actually show themselves controlled by a full sense of responsi- bility, man by man for results, there will be small trouble in dealing with fraudulency. 7 The final question of accountability is of the account honesty is to give of itself and of the method most effective in compelling it to feel that it is accountable and bound to account. i A Me eae ae Why can’t this grafted country get some immi- gration from Iceland, where there have been but two thefts in 1000 years? But is there anything in Iceland worth stealing? — Se THAT INTERSTATE CONCESSION. It begins to appear that the railroads linked to- gether in the Western Passenger Association are not prompted by purely benevolent motives in their sudden concession which makes the 2-cent- fare laws operative in interstate travel. For a time this seemed to be a case of broad-minded public spirit. But no When the 2-cent-fare law went into effect in Nebraska, two or three months ago, the railroad | folk up there said, as they have said more re- cently in Missouri, that they would delay legal proceedings until time and experience might give ‘some actual results upon which to base contest- ing litigation. But the waiting promised to be disastrous. The people were quick to learn that, while they could not get the benefit of the 2-cent rate on inter- state travel, they could still beat the game in part by buying transportation to the State's boundaries at the low fare, and there buying another ticket to their destination. Well and good. But the effect of this was to in- crease the showing of local travel enormously, out of right proportion to the facts. The Nebraska roads were threatened to be hoist with their own petard. Barnings within the State were “boom- ing,”’ and it was evident that, on the face of these returns, there would be no grounds for a contention of “confiscation.” What was true in Nebraska was true also i nevery Western State in like case.

It is true, of course, that a soul alive to sentiment might prompt the railroad man to look with leniency upon the pranks of bridal parties. But the brides and bridegrooms are such an old story to him that it is natural he should come to regard them as merely a source of trouble and refuse to allow them to add to his working hours.

They would rather, of course, have the pict.ire show them in the act of killing, but, as it is difficult to get good, clear negatives under such circumstances, they stand as the young hunter making their best pose.

With but few exceptions the gifts of millionaires are to some city, in the form of a public Hbrary, which does not reach the poor and needy at all. People who are in destitute circum- stances do not read books; only the rich reap any of the benefit of a donation of this kind. If a million or half-mil- lion were given to the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Ice Fund, then it would reach those who need it. SA AM NOWLIN, 816 South Sixth street. Condition of Hamilton Avente. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Permit me to call attention to the awful condition of Hamilton avenue at the crossing of the Suburban tracks, The pavement is now in a condition where it is not only a nuisance to the whole neighborhood and the cause of numerous daily accidents, but it en- dangers the lives of hundreds of peo- ple. The street car tracks are loose and have sunk down in the ground. When they cross the Suburban tracks they are one to four inches below the level of the street. These tracks are loose, and as water in them it squirts on all passing cars and on the passengers and pedestrians. The noise made by cars at the crossing is like pandemonium. Walls in the neigh- boring houses have been cracked by the constant jolting. Horses get their feet caught in the tracks and their shoes are torn off. In addition to all of this the water main has purst and the Wa- er floods Hamilton avenue. Is the Street Commissioner aware oF asleep? URPHY accumulates An Aftcrthought. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The one day of horror is past, thank heaven! and we may bring our nervous sick up out of the damp, dark cellars, where they were carried to escape the horrible din, back fmto the light and sunshine of the upper rooms. What does it matter if thele pulse runs high and their night a delirious one? It Is the glorious Fourth! The alley strewn with broken bottles, with dead and wounded dogs and cats and song birds attest to the fact that the boy hood- lums of the neighborhood “had a royal good time’ and were at liberty to tn- dulge their thirst for cruelty to the limit, with nobody to say “nay” to them.

por that me and John D. ought to meet up with each other and ‘around together for a while. I've got a hunch that we could teach § @ach other some things. Yes, indeedy, we've both got plenty to learn— game as all wise men. Fi ; : / What? No, I don’t want to know nothing about how he made his wad. I - Wouldn't squander my time tryin’ to find out. It wouldn’t interest me a 5 I'm travelin’ light on the Long Trail, and I don’t want to be both- I don’t want no more than just what I can bunch John D., he’s the one of us that needs to ries ae 4 ered with a pack train. up and tuck away in my belt. _ now for it to do him any good. No, it ain’t that. What I want him to teach me is that way he’s got 4 of makin’ his face mind what he tells it, and lookin’ tickled to death when ® aij he’s got in his hand is a busted flush. I can’t do it, not to save my sin- ful soul. He can. | Oh, sure, I’ve tried it. I've spent years and years tryin’ it. But it’s no good. Sure as I start to push out my chips on a bobtail, my eyes ‘ll commence to ) = Water, or my mouth "Il curl up at the edges, or somethin’, and then it’s all off.

There was the time up at Douglas, last spring, when I started in to drink it all up fdster than the man could pour it out, and got pincned. And the next mornin’ the marshal told the judge about me ropin’ him and tyin’ him up to a telegraph post, and trimmin’ his whiskers with my jack-knife and a few other playful little things like that, before he could get anybody coaxed to help him. “What about it, Billy?” says the Judge to me. Well, of course, I couldn’t remember nothin’ about it. Most likely it was all true. But a man has to make some kind of a bluff, them times. What I ought to done was to hire a lawyer and let him tell the judge, like John D.’s done up yonder In Chicago: “Now, Judge, just keep your shirt on, and mebbee me and Mr. Fortune will be willin’ to make you a proposition to settle this thing.” _ But I didn’t. I just started to bull it through. ‘‘He was insultin’ my mother, Judge,’ I says. “Why, I uidn’. know your mother was in Wyoming,” says the Judge. “Bhe ain't,’ says .. “I ain't got any mother. I’m a poor, lone orphan, Judge." And then . had to dig up two months’ pay to square it. But not John D. Notice what John D.’s a-sayin’? “why, my land!” he gays, “it's a plumd eight years since I stole the money, and I ain’t been mear the place since. How can I be guilty?’’ And he’s makin’ lots of ‘em think he's most horrible abused. And did you notice how he acted when the policeman nabbed him, on the sly? “Oh!” says he, “come right on up and set down. Have somethin’? Why; yes, I seen you chasin’ me, but I didn’t have no idea you was tryin’

i $ to catch me. How’s all your folks? Dear, dear! I’m sure terrible sorry you had to run yourself so all out of breath. Lay down here in the hammock _@nd let me fan you.” And the policeman went away believin’ every word of i Wis. when that old lad gets Down Below, he'll walk straight up to Nick with his hand out and his good, kind eyes a-shinin’. “Well, well!’’—that’s what he'll say—‘‘Well, well! If here ain’t my old pal! I been lookin’ for you all over. Where you been keepin’ yourself? How’s tricks? Anything doin’ in hell?” And then, before you know it, ne’ll own the whole place. Gee whiz, but don't I wish I knew how he does it!

—— “LAYING DOWN’ UNDER WRONGS Reflections on Some Working Girls’ Conditions Written for the Post-Dispatch BY GERTRUDE BARNUM.

“Tt takes the zeal out of my work, The pleasure from my play, To think that I must wash my face And dress myself each day.”’ ONCE knew a girl who always looked as though she felt that way. Her I name was Mabel, and she worked in a cotton mill as a ‘“‘drawer-in,”’ draw- ing in the myriad fine threads of the weft through the myriad fine threads of the woof of cotton cloth, ll hours a day, week after week, month after month, year after year. Mabel’s parents had been dwarfed in England by the moist, suffocating, lint-laden air, the shrieking noise and the strain of tending speed-up machines in the Lancashire cotton mills; so their daughter had not much of:an inheritance and was a tiny girl for her age. She sat hunched up on a high stool, deftly catching up threads with a sort of crochet needlé, never lifting her eyes, which constantly strained at her work through huge eyeglasses. Mabei’s diet was mainly bread and tea; she slept with three sisters in a small back room, with one window opening into a tenement house airshaft: and next to this room was that of the father, a drunkard, and the mother, who had tuberculosis. When I met Mabel she always said she was ‘‘feeling quite well,”’ but she is dead now. Like many, many other working girls, though sending out the thought of feeling quite well, Mabel failed to “demonstrate health.” Too many working girls enjoy poor health, and choose to commit suicide by means of dangerous factory and home conditions. In crowdeed workshops, where dusty panes of _ glass shut out air and sunshine, they are imprisoned ty day, breathing potson- ous fumes or running tremendous risks with unguarded machines. In crowded tenements at night they are imprisoned. Baths, far from being considered necessities, are rare luxuries. Daily fare consists of unlimited tea and coffee; canned goods, preserved with God knows Boe, what ingredients; overripe fruit and vegetables, feather dusted for cleanliness; co 4 : » * * 4 = Bee ie

fi such @ dear. He's #0 very careful sh ae and green pickles. These girls seem to know little and care less about factory laws, which en- . title them to healthful work places; about tenement and street-cleaning laws, Which entitle them to space and fres}. air; pure food laws, apparently, are not for them. . , If all girls were as stupid as this we should soon change into a Malay or yellow race; but fortunately some girls have waked up to the privilege of stay- img upon the earth as sturdy Caucasians and enjoying themselves chrough their full three-score-years-and-ten.. Some know that the best way to ‘demonstrate heaith’” is to dwell and work in environments and conditions which conserve ealth. in

+ * | bo BROADWAY OLICEMAN JERRY was looking for a boy known as Hus- P tler. While standing on the corner of Fourth and Pine streets Jerry was told that Hustler was on the corner of Broadway and Olive street. and immediately set out to capture him. At the same instant that Jerry moved west on Pine street Hustler moved east on Olive street, bound for the corner of Fourth and Pine streets, where he expected to meet Nosey, his chum. When Jerry reached Broadway and Olive street he was told by Dutch Pete of Hustler’s departure. the direction he had taken and his announced destination. Jerry hurried east, hoping to overtake Hustler at Fourth and Pine streets. When Hustler reached Fourth and Pine he saw no trace of Nosey, and so continued his walk, going west on Pine street, in- tending to rejoin Dutch Pete at Broadway and Olive. He did not know that he was being pursued, and Dutch Pete did not warn him, but told him if he would go back to Fourth and Pine he would find Nosey. Now, listen closely: Each side of the block is 300 feet. Jerry is € very shrewd policeman and also aA fast walker, his gait being faster by one-third than Hustler’s gait.

Kittrick Holds Honors on the Tennis Courts.

The triumph of Arthur Stickney in ‘he city golt chan.pionships and the victory of Ralph McKittrick in the State ien- nis tournament would seem to indicate that the St. Louis Country Club pos- sesses the most expert and versatile ath- letes of the city. The reason of this supremacy may partly lie in the fact that tne great majority of the Country Club memter3 ure able to give more time to outdoor sports than are the members of other organizations. There is more or less of truth in this, but it scarcely af‘ords the real explanaticn. As a matter of fact, the larger part of the Country Club members are not ‘ighly proficient in athletics and care little for expert excellency, desiring simply tne exhilaration of outdoor exer- cise, and accordingly the general av- erage of the club tin athletics or sport would not be as high as some other as- pociations. Some Good Athletes. The real solution is that the elab pos- fesses six or seven splendid individual athletes, capable in all branches of sport, who uphold by their efforts the grand reputation of the club. The Wear boys, the Stickneys, the Potters, Ralph McKittrick, and a few more represent the entire competitive strength of the ciub, but so exceptionable is their abil- } ity tha: event after event is won by them. This coterie of athletes who go to make up the club’s athletic strength are tor the great part men who have pre- viously distinguished themselves at col- lege in some of the more energetic and exacting branches of sport and hence tring to their after-athletic endeavors developed physiques, clear understand- ings of cause and effect, and all the enthusiasm cf a university athlete. This strikes the keynote of the Club's ath- letic success. Triple A Shares. With Gleeson playing McKittrick in the challenge round and Connett and Anderson successfully defending their title in the doubles, it would appear that the Triple A is entitied to share honors with the Country Club in tennis. The Forest Park club, though smaj! in num- ver and hendicapped by limited means, in the most active force for the promo- tion of the city’s amateur Sports, and hence it is gratifying to see its efforts crowned with some club Successes,

{ « Catarrh is not inerely a disease of the mucous membranes and innet s of the body as some of the symptoms would seem to indicate ; it is a deep-seated blodd disease, in which the entire circulation and the part of the system are involved. Like all other blood diseases, h comes from poisons and impurities accumulating in the circu- on which irritate and-inflame the tissues and mucous surfaces, and the unpleasant symptoms e disease are manifested. There is finging noise in the ears, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, filthy matter drops back into the throat, t reath has an offensive odor, _ and many other annoying and unpleasant symptoms are chances * of the trouble. Sprays, washes, inhalations,\etc., cannot reach : e blood, and are therefore valuable only for the\temporary relief t ey afford, To cure Catarrh the blood must be purified, Nothing equals $. S.

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) CHICAGO, July 8.—John Maloney, the motorman, who averted disaster on @ Chicago & Oak Park elevated train May 15 by sticking to his post in the midst of flames with his clothing ablaze until a station was reacned, underwent the operation of skin-grafting at St. Ann's Hospital | Twenty of his friends surrendered sec- tions of their skin for the benefit of their suffering comrade and the opera- tion was said by surgeons to be one of the largest of the kind ever performed. About seven square inches of epider- mis was taken from each man. The operation required two hours and at the end of that time over 4 square foot, or about one hundred and fifty square inches of skin, had been grafted on the burned sections of the patient. A gang headed by James Collins, bet- ter known as “Jimmy, the rat,” at- tacked Policemen Austerman and Den- der of the Carr Street District, Sunday afternoon, when they attempted to ar- rest Thomas Heaney, a bartender in the saloon conducted by Thomas Owens at 1031 North Broadway. The officers put up @ game fight, but were outnum- bered and in danger of being worsted when Officers Thornhill and Lardner went to their rescue. Heaney and Col- lins were taken to the Carr Street Sta- tion, the former charged with selling beer on Sunday and the latter with in- terfering with the police. Capt. O'Malley Sunday detailed Au- sterman and Dender, both new police- men and unknown in the neighborhood, to go to the saloon and see if the ‘“‘lid’’ was being lifted. The officers experli- enced no difficulty in pur asing two bottles of beer. When th 'yY arrested Heaney they were set upon by a half- dozen men.
