A telegram, delayed because of the strike of the operators, caused ‘“‘Lawler’”’ P. Daley to lose about $20,000 Monday. Daley is the new Chairman of the Dem- ocratic City Central Committee. He is & Teal sport, too,,and in placing his bets he is often influenced by superstition and omens of good and bad luck. Daley has been in many ways ofre of the luckiest men in St. Louis, and, be- lieving in himself and his luck, it was natural that he should wish to bét upon & horse named after himself. Named After Daley. Fred Cook, the horseman, owns a Missouri-bred colt named Lawrence :P. Daley. Cook and his colt were at Sheepshead Bay at the opening Saturday ready to could do. Daley believed that if the colt which bore his name ever had a chance he would win and he intrusted the colt’s trainer with $500, the condi- tion being that whenever the trainer thought the time had come to bet he Was to wire Daley and was then to fol- low Daley’s instructions.

Quelled Insurrections in His Tribe and Became Its Head. Gen. Pieusant Porter, chief of the Cheek Indian Nation, died at Vinica, I. T., Tuesday morning, following a strvKe of paralysis, according to an Associatec Press telegram to the Posit-Di.-pacch, Second Chief Mety Tiger will suc.ead Gen. Porter as the head of the nation, the dispaich etates. Gen. Porter was as we.l-known in Washington and St. Louis. He always stopped in St: Louis on his trips to the National Capital, and he frequen ly came here to look after business in.er- ests and to visit his daughters whi.e they were attending Forest Park Uni- versity. Although true to the interests of the Indians and ever zealous in behalf of the best interests of his fellow-tribes- men, Gen. Porter did not look or act the part of the Indian chief, as he is popu- larly conceived. He was a courteous, well-educated, distinguished gentleman, who not only enjoyed the highest esteem of his own people, but who had rendered valuable services to the United States Government,.and who stood exceptionally high with the offi- cials of the Interior Departme Only last. week Secretary Garfield was the guest of Gen. Porter at an Indian bar- becue dinner at Muskogee. Always Attracted Attention. At the Planters’ Hotel, St. Louis, Gen. Porter was a familiar figure. He always made his headquarters there when in St. Loujs, and he never failed to at- tract the attention of strangers as he walked about its corridors. He was six ifeet tall and broad-shouldered. His }- complexion was a perfect bronze. His rugged features were illuminated by 8 pair of bright, clear eyes and a kindly 4 amilile. His dark mustache was streaked with gray. Gen. rorter usually wore a dark Prince Albert coat and frequently a white vest. He was at home under a silk hat, although he usually * wore a dark soft hat. Gen. Porter was born in 1810. His fa- ther, Benjamin E. Porter of Norristuwn, Pa. ,was a white man of Irish extrac- tion, who went te the Indian Terri- tory in his youth. But the Genera:s mother was a full-blooded Creek wom- an, a daughter of Yartope Tustenorug- gee, a chief of the Okmulgee Creeks. Under the Creek laws a son of a Creek woman may succeed to the highest of- fice in the nation, even though his father be not a Creek. Was Not a Fullblood. So the fact that Pleasant Porter was only a half-breed Creek did not pre- vent his tribal advancement. He rep- resented his native city of Okmulgee for a number of years, both in the House of Warriors and House of Kings—the two branches of the old tribal govern- ment—before he became the principal chief of the nation in 1899. Prior to that time, however, he was a fumous man in the nation. He had been to Washington as delegate for the show Easterners what a Missouri colt bintsvon and had been chairman of the commission which negotiated the sale of Oklahoma to the United States. Out of this dale he got $2,230,000 fér the Crecks. Pleasant Porter earned his military title. He was in the Confederate army during the Civil War, entering as a private and retiring as a leutenant. Later, when he planned and introduced a general system of popular education in the Creek nation, there was an [n- gram to Daley in St. Louis, telling him that the colt was to start in the third : race, that the odds were # to 1 and; that it was a good chance to put the whole $500 to win. That telegram, filed at 11 o’clock at Sheepshead Bay, was delivered to Daley at 8 o'clock at night. Daley rushed out to see the returns from Sheepshead Bay and sure enough the Daley colt had won. Weula Be $20,000, At odds of 40 to 1 the $500 would have surrection. Martial law was declared. The Government placed Porter in com- mand of the Government forces. Ispar- hecher, then principa. chief, led the insurrectionists. There were three dis- tinct uprisings, but Porter quieted them and Isparhecher was driven to Fort Reno, His Estate About $75,000. Gen. Porter is estimated to have been worth probably $75,000. yer and had interests in various com- ' won $2,000. What Daley said about it would not be permitted to pass through printed. He carries the telegram in | his hand so that all of his friends ealn | see it, and he repeats over and over: | “Forty to one, and my $500 dead and buried. It’s too bad, too bad.” BLAMES TONGUE WAGGERS FOR HER FAMILY TROUBLES Declaring that the meddling tongues | of neighbors were responsible for her marital troubles, Mrs. D. Gotschman, 367 =6North «Ninth = street, refused to prosecute her husband Tuesday morn- ing when he was arraigned before Judge sale on the charge of beating her with a revolver. “If we hadn't both been deceived by the stories neighbors told each of us about the other,” said she, “we should have had no disagreement.” On her plea the case was dismissed. Gotschman was charged with beating own Pstpmeraginaan df Aree ane mercial enterprises. He wus married in St. Louis in 1872 to a daughter of a the United States mails, even if it were Creek. Gen. Porter married a cousin City, | of his first wife, Miss Mattie Berthoff. He is survived by several children. His home has been for’ many years at Mus- kogee. It was in Muskogee that Chief Porter gave the barbecue dinner to Secretary Garfield last week. This dinner showed that with all his familiarity with the customs of civilization Gen. Porter: jcould still be a real Indian just like @ppointed, his fellow tribesmen. No knives and forks were provided at the table, and when & huge plece of beef was placed in front of Garfield, he asked if fingers were to be used in eating it. “No knives,”’ replica Porter, taking a large hunting knife from his pocket, whereupon Garfield was forced to lift dainty pen-knife from his pocket wr abi and his fingers to dispose of the bee — The tegitimate Pparp circulation ite Suburbs ts greater than that of English Dailies COM. ry te > ” , At kale ’ padi OF looking + He was a law- | BACK IN FOLK WANTS HEDGEPETH PENITENTIARY ee Governor Sitys He Will Save Omaha Authorities Trouble of Trying Paroled Bandit of Safe Blowing Charge. — Gov. Folk said to a Post-Dispatch reporter at Jefferson City Tuesday that if Marion Hedgepeth, paroled train rob- ber, was guilty of safeblowing in Omaha, and the authorities there would sur- render him, he would have to serve the remaining 11 years of his 25-year sen- tence in the Missouri Penitentiary. Hedgepeth has been recognized in ‘the person of “James Clark,” arrested in Omaha on a safe blowing charge with a man whose name is given as W. P. Jackson of St. Louis. “His parole,’ said the Governor, “‘was conditional on good behavior. If it is ghown that he has been stealing or trying to steal since his parole, and if the Omaha authorities will surrender him to me I will put him back into the Penitentiary.’ Gov. Folk paroled Hedgepeth less than a year ago. When Hedgepeth was paroled he seemed to be meek and humble and de- sirous of leading an honest life.

In dividing the booty he would cheat the men who had helped him. He would betray: the warmest friend to help his own case. This was why he was despised by his fellows. Betrayed Arch Murderer. While awaiting trial in the St. Louis Jail he won the friendship of Desmond | by betraying into his hands H. H. Holmes, the Philadelphia insurance arch-murderer.

Plowright of 2734 Olive street is sure he wounded a burglar whom he encountered at the back door of his home at 1 a. m. Tuesday. Plow- right’s conclusion is based on the fact that he heard the burglar utter two distinct yells after as many bullets had been fired at him as he was fleeing. Plowright was awakened by a noise at the door. He jumped out of bed, grabbed his pistol, stole softly down- stairs and throwing open tiie door sent a shiver of surprise through the bur- glar. “Throw up your hands and surren- der,” said Plowright, sticking the bar- rel of his pistol to the burglar’s chest. The burglar made no reply, but fled down the steps and through the back yard. Plowright, when he saw the burglar climbing the back fence, opened fire. Plowright told the police that he took deliberate cim and is sure that both bullets struck their mark. At any rate, he heard the burglar yell.

The poor man, who pays only $10 or $1 taxes will not be put at a disadvantage because of the two holidays following each other. The $10 taxpayer gets 27 cents discount and the $1 man 3 cents. The discount for all is allowed only on the city’s portion of the tax bill. The whole rate this*year is $2.17 on $100 valuation, of which amount 17 cents to ‘the Payment Large Sums Paid.

ALL ON SCHOOL en, STEP Reports Let Him to Believe Elopement to Kansas Was Planned. By Long iDstance Telephone to the Ost-Dispatch. POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., Sept. 3.—Be- lieving that his two sisters were about to elope with AJexander Moore and Al- fred Townsend, Jesse, Clark shot both men. Both are seriously wounded, and Moore’s life is in danger. Moore is married, and has one child. The shooting occurred on the steps of a school in West Poplar Bluff, where Clark found his sisters, Bessie,, aged 19, and Margaret, 16, with the men. “TI do not fear the law,’’ said Clark to a Post-Dispatch correspondent Tuesday, after his release on $1000 bond from the Poplar Bluff Jail. ‘If Moore dies, I firmly believe the 12 men who are se- lected to try me will acquit me. I would do the same thing again under the same circumstances. The honor of my sis- ters is dearer to me than my own life. ‘My only regret is for the innocent wife and child of Moore.” Clark’s preliminary hearing will be held tomorrow. He has engaged Col. Phillips as his counsel. Threatened to Shoot Them, According to Clark, the two men have paid attentions to the girls for several He warned them to keep away, but the warning had no effect. It is said that Clark threatened to shoot them on sight, and that for this reason Moore and Townsend planned to leave town with the Clark girls and go to Leslie, Kan. The girls left their home Saturday morning and when/they .did not return home at night their brother began a search. He learned of their reported plans te elope and finally he located them at the school shortly after mid- night. He*confronted the girls with the story of their intended departure, and not receiving a satisfactory answer, started after Townsend, who had left at his approach. Moore and Townsend appeared on the steps of the school.and the shooting be- gan. Clark says the two fired four shots at him, but he was not hit. His aim was better, for the fighting had lasted hardly a minute when his oppo- nents fell wounded. C'ark did not attempt to escape after the shooting, but went to the home of a friend, where he was arrested by Sheriff McCowan an hour later. He sur- rendered and said he did not fear the consequences of his act. Moore was taken to his home on Alice street, and it was found that a bullet had lodged in his breast, near his heart. Townsend was shot in the chest, near the shoulder. His chances for recovery are favorab'e. “They were afraid of me,” said Clark. “That’s why they tried to leave town with the girls. No man can rob me of my loved ones and not suffer for it.’’ Moore is 25 and Townsend is 28 years old. Clark is 30. GAMBLING CRARGE AGAINST. SHARPERS Chief Creecy Finds No Proof That Policemen Protected Games in Restaurant. The Circuit Attorney’s office issued an information Tuesday against Nathan Shapiro of 919 Wash street, charging him with setting up and maintaining a gambling device on his premises. The information was ssued upon the com- plant of Bernard Gordon of New York, who stated that he lost $20 in a game of stud poker in Gordon's place. Gordon says that he met Shapiro in a restaurant on Seventh street, an‘ went with him to his restaurant at 919 Wash street, and played Russian games Claude Kilpatrick, trustee, $34,913.39; Daniel Catlin, $25,170.87: William Booth $23,628.56; German Savings Insti- tution, $21,585.57; Collier estate, Wabash Railway Co., $17,946.69; Steifel ,trustee, $13,084.85; Southern Hote) Co., $13,049.53; trustees of Gerard D.

So infectious is the wedded happiness of Senore and Annie Willhite, aged ‘7 and 15 respectivety, that two pairs of their friends have followed them into the fold of matrimony. The tribulations of the boy husband and girl bride, who were arrested on complaint of her fa- ther, Philip Rosecan, and held at the Carr Street Station until Monday after- noon, did not discourage their lovelorn friends. The friends found troubles of their own before they were finally mar- ried Monday night at St. Charles. Esca Willhite, aged 2%, was inspired by the example of his. younger brother to hasten his marriage to Miss Myrtle Sul- livan, aged 19, and Harry Bule, with the same example before his eyes, de- clined to lengthen farther his engage- ment to Miss Kate Nolan, aged 18. So, taking the young newlyweds as guides, and accompanied by several merry friends, the four sweethearts set out for Clayton, where they hoped to be made two by the poetic offices of Justice Werremeyer. Miss Nolan, unfortunately, had so girl- ish an appearance, with slight figure and youthful face, that Deputy Record- er Schaedler refused to issue a license for her and her fiance. In vain Mrs. Nellie Henerson, sister of the girl, pro- tested that she was over 18 years old. Schaedler refused to disbelieve the evi- dence of his eyes. “She might be over 18 if she had the number 18 chalked on the sole of her shoes,’ said he, “but she looks less than 16 to me.”’ He was willing to issue a license to Esca Willhite and Miss Sullivan; but they disdainfully refused to be married in such a “cheap” town as Clayton, of which the action of the Deputy Re- corder in the other case had given them a very unfavorable opinion, Their Car Cupid Special, The party decided to go to St. Charles, a town of good omen, they velieved, because Senore Willhite and his child bride were married there two weeks ago. County Clerk Sand- fort hemmed and hawed when he viewed Miss Nolan, but after her sis- ter swore to an affidavit that Kate was of age, he consented to issue the license, They were married by a Justice of the Peace. Returning on the 11 p, m,. car from St. Charles, the party Kept everyone in smibes by constant merriment and unconcealed happiness. Mr an“. Mrs. Buie went to their rooms at 929 North Nineteenth street, and Mr. and Mra. Escea Wilhite to 2016 Wash street. Their first duty Tuesday was to go to the Dayton Street Police Court, where Senore Willhite had a case against Harry Rosecan, brother of his bride, for disturbing his peace. Will- hite charged that while he was un- der arrest Sunday, young Rosecan pushed through the crowd around the police box and struck him in the face. “You can just say for me,” said Willhite to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “that I shall ask that the case against Rosecan be dismissed, I don’t want to prosecute him. If it wasn’t for my wife I'd get even for that blow, but my happiness makes it impossible for me to hold a grudge against anybody especially a member of her family.’ The elder Rosecan has dismissed his PHYSICIANS NOW IN REVOLT Organize to Oppose American Medical Association Methods.

Society’s most interesting surprise on the matrimonial calendar is the engage- men of Miss Mildred Hoyle, daughter of Mrs. Charles F. Hoyle of Forest Park boulevard, to Mr. Karl William Core of Pittsburg, Pa. This bit of news has just been tele- graphed to St. Louis friends by Mrs. | Hoyle and her @aughter who are at present at Lookout Hill, Gloucester, Mass., the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond, aunt and, uncle of the bride-elect, and where the wedding will take place Tuesday, Sept. , 17. ‘ Miss Hoyle has been visiting her aunt all summer, and late last week the en-| tire Hoyle family in St. Louis went East to be present at this wedding and also that of Miss Mimi Carr and Mr. Richardson next month. Miss Hoyle has been one of the most attractive figures in St. Louis society since she returned from Wellesiey Col- lege two years ago. She has great dra- matic talent which has been utilized in several society plays that have proven splendid successes. Her personality is perhaps more interesting than that of any other girl in her set, and her: beauty is unquestioned. Mr. Core comes from an exceedingly good Pittsburg family, members of which are to be present on the 1li7th at | Lookout Hill. The young people met a vear ago in the East at the Hammond hoine. The wedding will be a morning affair, and every member of Miss Hoyle’s Dana Hall class expects to be present to as- sist in the ceremony.

Miss Hyman is a pretty blonde of the West End and is popular with the younger. set. She has been out one Sea- son and with her brunette sister, Miss Pearl, has occupied an important social position. ay This wedding will be preceded by much entertaining, as the young fiancee belongs to a set of young girls who are constant hostesses. Miss Anna Lou Caldwell and Mr. Will Moody have selected Oct. 6 as their wedding date. As Miss Caldwell’s fam- ily is in mourning, the ceremony will be very quiet. On. Oct. 16 Miss Marguerite Christian and Mr. James Campbell will be mar- ried, this also to be a home wedding and quietly” arranged. Miss Christian is a niece of Mrs. B. L. Slack of West Morgan street. ; Miss Helen Block, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Whittlesey o Pittsfield, Moss., have chosen Oct. 10 as | their marriage date, and so have Miss Mimi Carr of Washington, D.

Nearly All Henry Sieben’s Guests Desert One by One Along: the Route. The good ship Chester, seven days out from Kansas City, is in port. If she had had a good set of low, heavy- set rollers under her keel, she would have been here sooner. She had plenty ef-high rollers on board. There was a passenger list of 72 when the boat left Kansas City. There were seven survivors when the boat tied up here. The rest had mutinied and de- serted, wading to shore at different points along the way. Most of the passengers were guests of Henry Sieben, emeritus wharfmaster of Kansas City. He wanted to show them that the river is navigable. He proved to their satisfaction that the river is navigable wherever it is deep enough. Started Last Wednesday. The start was made Wednesday mern- ing, with the band playing, banners and badges fluttering and the populace of Jackson City cheering and getting its feet wet. Everything went swimmingly, includ- ing the boat. The troubles began Thurs- day morning. The total progress, as shown by the speedometer at sundown, was five miles, the result of a series of fiying leaps from bar to bar. The third day the guests of Sieben began to desert. Every time the boat reared up on a sandbar some of them rolle dup their trousers and started to wade back home. Every evening the guests were enter- tained by the boiler-room quartet on the poop deck with that pathetic piece, “Picking Currents on the Missouri.”’ “Life on an Ocean Wave.” The second mate took personal charge of the soundings and worked at it 12 hours a day. When he sang out ‘“‘Mark Twain,’’ the passengers joined hands and chanted, ‘‘Yo, heave, ho.” and “A Life on the Ocean Wave,” and other naughty nautical dities, but when he got down to 4 feet they quit singing and braced themselves for the shock. “Three and a half’’ was always the sig- nal for a landing in the middle of the river. The longest stay was on a submerged island near Arrow Rock. The trouble was that it was not submerged enough. The trip convinced Sieben that there is enough water in the Missouri River for navigation, even at low tide, but that it is not well distributed. He say that where it is most needed, ever t bars, there is the, least. Sieben’s guests say that their next wa- ter voyage will not be made on the stream which, according t6é Mark Twain, the wind blows dust out ef, and which John J. Ingalls termed ‘too thick for a beverage and too thin for culti- vatien.’’ Frank H. Ellis of Kansas City, sen of Cengressman E. C. Ellis, was keeper ef the log on the trip.

CHASED CHIEF SWINGLEY AS A MOTOR CAR SCORCHER Policeman Borden of the police auto has decided to buy a pair of field glasses so that the next time he chases a scorcher he will not make a mistake. He thought he was on the trail of a law violator, but when he overtook his prey he found he was trying to arrest Chief Swingley of the Fire Depart- ment. Borden was riding leisurely aiong Grand avenue, and just before he got to Olive street a machine flashed west. Borden chased the fire machine to Vandeventer avenue, but did not arres: Swingley, who has a right to scorch. During the chase down Olive street, pedestrians homeward bound from the Labor Day parade stood open-mouthed as the machines passed.

'-Chief Dispensary ARMY OF SCHOOL CHILDREN US! FOR BACK EATS With Various Emotions, 65,- ooo Youths Enter on “Nine Months’ Sentence.”

APPLES FOR “TEACHER” Five New Schools Opened, Two of Them Replacing Old Ones,

An army of schoolchildren, officiaily estimated at noon at 65,000, listened for the first toll of the schoolbell Tuesday morning with various emotions as they entered on their ‘‘nine-months sentence”’ at their books. This thought was all that placed a cloud over the excitement and novelty of the ‘‘first day.”’ Going early to get ‘‘back seats’ was the principal incentive to some to be at school as soon as the door was opened. Some remembered the good times of last year, the hardships forgotten with the healing lapse of time. Some wanted to renew old acquaintances with the com- panions of last year. Some wanted to be the first to hand the ‘‘new teacher” a bouquet of flowers. An Apple for “Teacher.” Remembering ‘‘teacher’s’’ g@§endness for apples, we carry a shiny specimen of the fruit to see the same kindly smile which we remember from way last spring. We may forget most everything in our books, but we néver in all our lives forget the teacher we always liked well enough to favor with red apples. The first day of school is the biggest day of the year In the calendar of many little folks. ’ The Willlam Clark School, a new 24- room structure on Union and Fairmount avenues, has been completed and will take the place of the “portable’’ Ken- jsington avenue schools. J. W. Hall is the principal. The Rose Fanning School will take the place of the Grace Avenue School, with F. M. Underwood as principal. Three New Schools, Three new schools have been founded: The Alabaina Avenue, at the corner of Alabama avenue and Bates street, with Miss Mai Martin, as principal; the Duncan Avenue, at the corner of Duncan and Euclid avenues, with Miss Henrietta Frohard as principal, and the Hempstead Avenue School, at the cor- ger of Minera and Hamilton avenues, with William C. Goodlett principal. Prof. F. Louis Soldan addressed the principals and teachers in a final meet- ing of instruction at the Central High School Monday afternoon. The enrollment on the opening day of school i 1906 was 64,391. In 1905 there were only 63,813 pupils enrolled on the first day, and in 1900 only 61,685. The enrollment at the close of last year was 86,450. Muat Be Vaccinated. The children will be vaccinated by’ Physician Scott and his assistants, as soon as a canvass of the classes has been made. Last year 6,436 children were treated with the virus. A new manual of physical exercises, by A. E. Kindervater, superintendent of physical training, will be introduced. Miss Lil.ie R. Ernst, formerly assist- ant at the Central High School, has been appointed principal of the Cote Brilliante School, Kennerly avenue. Miss Madeline Lasar, who was to have taken charge of the school exhibit at Jamestown, has not recovered from the injuries she received in a wreck, enroute, and is not able to resume her regular work. Kindergartens will be features of all the new schools. FJ WADE BACK SEES PROSPERITY Banker Says Foreigners Are Anx- ious to Furnish Us Money,

Festus J. Wade, president of the Mer- eantile Trust Co., has returned to St Louis after &® month’s absence, one week of which he spent in Europe. In that time he visited London, Paris and Berlin, and completed important finan- cial arrangements. Discussing his trip, Tuesday: “T pring nothing but good cheer from the financial centers of Europe. All the talk about tight money and depreciation in values is confined entirely to Wall street stock operations, “uropean bankers thoroughly under- stand the commercial and industrial prosperity of the nation, and are not only willing but very anxious to furnish all the money necessary for the exporta- tion of our agricultural products, cotton and manufactured articles required by the European markets at a rate of in- terest of from 5 to 6 per cent. ‘My mission abroad was to consult with our correspondents in Yondon, Paris and Berlin. I spent a day in Berlin, two days in Paris and two days in London, during My absence, and have consummated arrangements for the pur- pose of handling, through our foreign exchange department, cotton and wheat bills to an unlimited amount. “Londos bankers thoroughly under- stand the difference between our indus- trial and commercial affairs and our stock jobbing Operations, and they thor- oughly understand no matter how low or how high stocks may go, agricul- products 8nd cotton will continue Mr. Wade sai.

BOOTHS EARN MONEY

Great Concourse of People Cather for Fete on Labor Day.

A crowd that more than filled the Kingdom House Playground, Wighth and Hickory streets, attended the. car- hival given Labor day for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. They were all residents of the neighborhood and enjoyed spending What they could to aid those who are less fortunate than themselves. In the afternoon Dr. Albert Merrell gave a talk on “The Work of the Pure Milk Commission,” and the Kingdom Fiouse and the Industrial School brass - bands furnished music. A baby show was held from 2 to 4. Votes cost a cent apiece, and about $20 was realized from the one _ feature. Siella Eyerman, 1138 Rutger street, won first prize, a go-cart, donated by W. H. McClain; Blanche F ofest of 13236 Hick- ory street won second prize, a set of gold beauty pins given by Mrs. George Duff, and Frank Kasehowitz of 1302 Bouth Second street won third, a gold ring given by Mrs. Habberrand. Bach of the different organizations allied with Kingdom House had a re- freshment booth. Sandwiches, coffee, lemonade and ice cream were sold at prices ranging from 1 to 5 cents. Those who donated the refreshments were: Grafeman Dairy Co., Wilker Ice Co., Kelson Morris Packing Co., Ralston ‘Breakfast Food Co., F.

—-———— nival, given at the residence of their arents, at 4292 Page boulevard, was whe result. It took but a few minutes conversation with their little play- mates to arouse the greatest interest, and all as one body put their shoulders to the wheel and worked most earnest- ly for a week. The little folks went about among the merchants of the neighborhood and s0- licited aid in the form of donations of chewing gum, candy, cakes, peanuts, soda and many little trinkets which were given most freely. Indeed, the lawn was @ most brilliant spectacle, lighted by many electric lights and Japanese lanterns with hundreds of pe-ple moving about ‘from booth to booth, patronizing them most freely, all seeming to have the interest of the children at heart. But this was not ull that the little folks undertook, for they entertained their hundreds of friends during the evening with a bril- liant little program, which consisted of illustrated songs and recitations. Too much cannot be said of the first num- ber on the program, an illustrated song by Edith and Grace Ardell, which called forth much applause. Then followed a song by Clarence M. Weil, which was followed by bright little Helen Bloch, in comic Chinese and darky dialect songs. Then songs by Lester L. Weil, followed by his wee little sisters sweet- ly singing their dollies to sleep, and a brilliant little recitation by little Lor- raine Hirt. Again and again Edith and Grace, Lester and Clarence, Helen and Lorraine, ..0rence and Johanna _ ap- peared before the audience and truly entertained them. A most striking fea- ture of the program was a violin solo by little Helen Korngold and a most fitting closing to the evening’s program was the grouping of all the performers on the stage and singing our own dear song. “‘America,’’ in which the audi- ence was asked to join. The young ladies of the neighborhood finding how hard: the children were laboring came in just before the open- ing of the program and votunteered to assist them at the booths, among them being the Misses L. Hirt, A. and D. Nicholson, M. Burke, A. Absolom and our good friend, Mrs. Edwards, who went so far as to contribute a booth of her own in order to swell the funds. We heartily thank the originators of this plan together with their friends, Grace and Edith Cordell, Helen Bloch, “vrence May and Johanna Lucille Weil, Lorraine Hirt, Victor Teiser, Algernon Furey and Helen Korngold and all who assisted them. We hope that many lit- tle folks in the city will follow this ex- ample and try to exceed the handsome sum of $20.27. LESTER L. WEIL.

Dillion Street Vaudeville. A vaudeville given by the little girls of 1100 Dillon street block Thursday night netted $3.05, which was turned over to the Post-Dispatch for the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. One dozen girls averaging 12 years took part in the play. The smallest girl was Almeda Hay, 7 years old. Although she was the smallest in the cast, she did her part as well as the older girls. The show was given in the back yard of Alada Stortzum, 1110 Dillon street. The show began at 8 o'clock and the audience were entertained with 13 acts. Those who took part in the show were Alada Stortzum, Marcella Gibbons, Amelia Baebler, Adele Colonna, Katie Beck, Angeline Beyer, Grace Spinks, Almeda Hay, Della Spinks, Al Nestlehaus, Artie Leonhardt, Allyn Spinks. Refreshments wert served after the show. Cosmos Club Aids. The Cosmos Club, a popular dancing club, has contributed $5 to the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. This sum is augmented to the extent of $4 by the contributions of Messrs. Oliver and Lester Heitmgn, making a total of Tennessee Avenue Bazar. To the Editor of the Post.Dispatch. We hand herewith er net the fruit of our labors resulting from a bazar given by the undersigned arganization for the most worthy cause on -the evening of Aug. 20, on the lawn of 2616 Tennesee avenue. The fancy work disposed of on this 0oc- easion was the handiwork of all the lit- tle ladies, and the six gallons of ice cream disposed of was donated by kind neighbors. We sincerely hope this is not the least contribution you have or will receive and surely not the last. in your judgment, it will do the most good. Sincerely, LHONA BS Neen MILDRED KERNAN, HIL DA hg trav MEL BA GAISLER, DOROTHY DIETZ, Manager. Moving Picture Show. Misses Margaret -Purdy, Marcella Pamplin, Martha Reed, Vincent New- man and Blair Pitsworth gave an enter- tainment Friday night for the benefit of the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. Mr. Lilly of 4515 Easton avenue furnishe? the hall and incidental expenses and gave the girls 6 cents on each 10-cent ticket. The show consisted of moving pictures, songs by Master Walter Feb! and selection by Mr. Ed Harfis, the comedian. The young folks realized $16.75 &s their share of the box office re- ceipts, and turned that amount over to the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fung. The same young people, with the exception of Miss Pamplain, whose place was taken by Avis Berry, made $11.60 for the fund last year.

An Dregshe back, headaclte, dizzy spells, urinary troubles, rheumatic pains, gravel, dropsy swellings, nervousness, languor, sciatica, and all other symptoms of kidney troubles. Fifty thousand ple have testified to the worth of Foaa’s Kidney Pills. Here’s a home case: St. Louis Proof. Mrs. D. P. Farrell, 2337 Clark ayv., St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have been a great sufferer from or trouble and severe pains in the small of my back and loins. The kidney secretions were greatly disordered. I consulted a dov- tor, who treated me, but received very little benefit from his medicine. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised in the paper and got a box. It greatly helped me, and a further use of the remedy | resulted in a cure.”—(From a state- ment made in 1901.) TESTED AND PROVEN. On Sept. 27, 1906, Mrs. D. P. Far- rell was interviewed and said: “T just as heartily recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills at this time as I did in the year 1901. The cure has been @ permanent one, as I have had no return of the trouble during an elapse of five years.”

— d “OF TIP-SWERS Swede’s Liberality to Hotel Em- ployes Beats Even Gen. Ku- roki’s Record.

By Lensed Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispate. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Prince Wil- helm of Sweden has broken all records for tipping at tne Hotel Astor when packed up last night and started for Boston. He and his aides topped by a couple of hundred dollars the high-water mark of liberality set by Baron General Ku- roki and hig entourage when they were at the Astor two months ago. And the servants of the hotel voted the distin- guished Japanese soldier and those in his party ‘‘the best ever.” The day Baron Kuroki left he divided $500 in tips among the hotel employes who had served him in any capacity, and $500 more was given by his chief of staff from the traveling fund allowed the Baron by the Japanese Government. Perhaps Prince Wilhelm was told when he went to the Astor of the Ku- roki record and resoived then and tiere to heat it, Wilhelm bade New York farewell last night with a wave of his straw som- brero to a crowd of. a thousand persons, gathered in the Grand Central Station to see him board a train for Boston. a ee —_—-—-

“FIRST IN EVERYTHING.” —_"* MR. FOLK‘S IDEA OF A DEMOCRAT. When men like Mr. Folk and Mr. Bryan can- not or will not give a satisfactory answer to the question “What is a Democrat?” it. must be that there are some things in Democratic doctrine which even Democrats do not care to avow. Mr. Bryan recently said that a Democrat was @ man who co-operated with the Democratic party and ‘expected to vote the Democratic ticket. Mr. Folk says that a Democrat is one who believes in Democratic ideas, and by Demo- cratic ideas he says that he means the principles embraced in the Jeffersonian axiom, “Equal rights to all; special privileges for none.” We will not do Mr. Folk the injustice of as- suming or asserting that he has no other con- ception of a Democrat than that expressed by this utterance, but for some reason he did not gO much beyond the generalization. As there is not a Republican in the land who 4 not pretend to subscribe to Jefferson’s Maxim quite as cordially as the Democrats~ do, it is plain enough that a Democrat must have some other equipment than that. , When the Democratic party was a power in this country it held articles of political faith by which its action in a given situation could be predicted with certainty, and by knowing them and understanding them every Democrat knew why he was a Democrat. The old Democratic party believed in the ca- pacity of the people to rule and in their right to rule, in local self-government, in the representa- tive principle, in all the rights of the States, in religious freedom, in public education, in fre- quent elections, in official. accountability to the people, in the scrupulous. preservation of the _ checks and balances of the constitution, in the ‘maintenance of the public credit, in the largest possible freedom for the individual; in the equal- ity of all before the law and in safeguarding the rights of property as well as the rights of labor. | So believing, the Democratic party antagonized eS the aristocratic no less than the mobocratic class ‘Bpirit; it fought centralization at Washington; it upheld the dignity and the power of the States; it condemned perseéution for religion’s sake; it resisted all sumptuary laws; it saw no profit in attempting to make men xighteous by law; it - fought the idea that one man should be taxed _ fot the benefit of another, and it held that most errors now under treatment by new and doubt- l’methods were the results of unwise and un-

e ‘democratic departures from the early American idea of government. ; » Gov. Folk is well acquainted with the things - Which have been imperfectly stated here and it - Would be a pleasure to have him give expression to them in a manner worthy of himself, of his great office and of the promise of his future. = = = se ae 2 4 Attorney-General Bonaparte always has an ex- - @ellent reason for not putting the great malefac- tors of wealth in prison.

It is not for them to get the utmost out of their patrons, but, while reaping a fair return upon their investment, to give the public the best possible service. _* This particular instance of greed, opportunity for which has been found in the strike of the telegraphers, shows very forcibly how widely ex- tended is the field of necessary and desirable regulation of corporations. We have only touched the edges of it thus far. = = = rT _ Not a man was drowned in the swim. Would it have been so in the Meramec? > = " — THE USURIOUS GAS RATE IN ST. LOUIS.

The best service at the least reasonable cost is the demand of intelligent communities. On the _ other hand, the corporation is entitled to a reas- nable profit for its service. But there is only one way of determining what A u rensonable profit In anything and that is by _ B reforence to cost and selling price.

LAW FOR THE POSTOFFICE. Judge McPherson’s ruling that the Postoffice Department has no warrant in law for withhold- ing mail on exparte information that the person to whom it is addressed is conducting a fraudu- lent business will be likely to have a sobering effect upon the postal authorities. So many swindlers have been reached in this way that there has not been a disposition to com- plain very seriously of the department’s methods, but it is easily to be seen that the power which it exercises may be frightfully abused. One thing that distinguishes a free country from a satrapy is the fact that its mails are in- violate. A systém under which the service may be arbitrarily denied is apt to be as oppressive as one which subjects every letter to the scrutiny of a malicious spy. Judge McPherson appears to hold that a busi- ness man’s mail is not to be sequestrated on the mere suspicion of Tom, Dick or Harry, and that he is entitled to all the facilities of the service until a fraud order has actually issued. This is good law and good sense. Representa- tives of the American Postoffice do not need to be clothed with the power which has made their contemporaries in Russia more than odious. They can catch swindlers without it. = = - - - White and black union men were in Monday’s Labor parade in Montgomery, Ala., the first cap- ital of the Southern Confederacy.

IMPUDENCE OF MR. BAER’S TRUST. The answer of Mr. Baer’s anthracite coal com- bine to the Government’s bill of complaint is as colossal a piece of impudence as Mr. Baer’s own theory that some men are divinely appointed to wealth and grace, just as others are foreordained to become vessels of wrath and poverty. It is no doubt true that Mark Hanha and other Republican leaders exerted their influence with the. managers of the Coal Trust to bring the strike of 1900 to an end, so that the labor vote would not be alienated from McKinley and Roose- velt as it was in 1892 from Benjamin Harrison, but to say that this pressure caused the trust agreements, the high prices and the restricted output is ridiculous.y false. Anthracite coal in this country was cornered long before Mr. McKinley was thought of for President and long before the plethoric Mark Hanna appeared in the role of party boss and fat fryer. The increases in wages which the trust reluc- tantly granted in 1900 were a bagatelle in com- parison with the advance which was made in the price of coal to consumers. Anthracite coal is monopolized as nothing else is in this country today. There is not a dealer in America who fixes his own selling price. Mr. Baer and a few autocratic associates regulate the supply and its distribution and prepare price schedules which govern absolutely in every mar- ket which their product ‘enters. The trust tells the truth about Mark Hanna, but it does so merely for the purpose of em- barrassing the President. Like many another offender of the same stripe, it thought that by its cohcessions and its lavish contributions to Mr. Hanna’s bag'‘of boodle, it was purchasing immunity. It is to be hoped that the Government’s case will be pushed with such vigor as to prove beyond question that.it was mistaken. a, Ae & i i New Orleans speaks for a great World's Fair in 1915, to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. That is about the time when St. Louis will be celebrating the completion of the deep waterways. ——_—____—__#+- RECKLESSNESS OF THE TROLLEYS. Instead of arresting the two motormen immedi- ately responsible for the Illinois trolley collision, the Charleston authorities should have arrested every official of the traction company, from the president down. They are the men who were responsible for the loose regulations which permitted the running of cars at great speed without a dispatcher and with- out written orders on a single track winding sharp curves among cornfields. | The bare statement of these conditions is a powerful indictment against all concerned in the management. The employment of incompetent men is a minor fact of guilt. If the steam railways, with which these lines compete for passenger traffic, were operated on a similar plan and in like irresponsible fashion, the result would be thousands killed every day. Lack of official regulation of the erection, equip- ment and operation of interurban trolley lines is at the bottom of the danger so grewsomely instanced in the Illinois disaster. The same safeguards should be thrown around this branch of transportation that are provided for the protection of steam travel. oe 2

Inaccurate News. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. _ It appears to be be impossible for any of the St. Louis morning newspapers to report a drowning in the Meramec River with any degree of accuracy. Two of the Monday morning papers contained items about Owen Kender, or Oren M. Kendricks—evidently the same person. One stated that he lost his life be- cause he had pretended to be sinking several times, and his friends thought he was still joking when he really sank. The other paper said nothing about this. If it was not true, it was a cruel thing to in- sert in the report. Ome paper said that the drowned man went to the river with “two other young men.”’ The other paper said that he drowned “in sight of a pienic party of 30 men and women of which he was a member.’’ Which is true? In my own case, having lost a near relative from drowning in the Meramec, I am not surprised at this inaccuracy, for not one of the morning papers got anything aceurate about that happening. I write this because it aggra- vates such a grief to have it reported carelessly, H. M. W. Railway Mismarnagement. To the Editor of thé Post-Dispatch. The belief is general that our railroads are built and operated by very able and efficient business men. ‘This is simply false, and we have only to look over any year's records, to learn its falsity. An efficient business man would not build single track railways, notwithstanding the double track {is a little more costly, for the reason that In the long run they are nothing but death traps, and as such cost more to maintain than the double track, as well as acting as a hindrance to increase of business commensurate with the possibilities of the territory through which they pass. * * * The material loss of the several recent railroad disasters may be over- come, but the sorrows of widows and orphans, who shall compensate them? And yet, without protest, the men who maange railways simply employ an army of agents to go in and out among the people to declare such accidents are unavoidable in a coun- try like ours, whose railroad system is so immensé, Mr. Editor, is it not time that, “for profit only’’ be eliminated from our public railway maangement and the “public safety” be made paramount. JOHN WILLIAMS. Danger to Young Girls. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the August number of the Woman’s Home Jour- nal is an interesting article relative to the prac- tice in vogue in small towns all over the country of young girls hanging around the depots at train time, and that they flirt with the trainmen and strangers. It claims that many girls are led astray in this man- ner, and if not this, it does not improve their Manners | or morals, that it was becoming a dangerous practice | and something should be done to put a stop to it. | There are other practices in vogue, not only in small ' towns, but. in cities, that should be broken up in) some manner. It is a common sight to see little girls whose skirts are just below their knees, alone in the parks and gardens with boys 18, 20 and more. These same children are allowed to go buggy and automobile riding to suit themselves. A young gir! with “boys on the brain’ cannot do justice to her studies, nor does she want to be of much assist- ance to her mother. She prefers to spend as Much of her time in drug stores telephoning or in placcs where she can attract as much attention as she Can possibly contrive. It is not a mother's place to trust her girls and boys, but to protect them. If she does her duty as a protector and asserts her authority as a mother should, there would be fewer girls So wrong.

The Mexican King. To the Editor of une Post-Dispatch. I want to say a few words in regard to the let- ter signed “Mexican” in your issue of the Mth ult. fle states that in his country men are the kings of all live beings, including women. I do not Know whether his statement is a fact or not, as I cannot say whether the women consider them kings Or not, but I do know that I have observed the Mexican and his half-brother across the sea (the Spaniard) in their own countries, and I know it is their am- bition to be kings of all. You will note their lofty air whenever you see them, mustaches curled or twisted and sticking straight out, pointed shoes, tight-fitting clothes, chest about a mile in front of the rest of their anatomy and anything else conspicu- ous that can be gotten up. They are without a doubt the most pretentious race I have ever met, and I have seen most all of them in their “hum” climes. T would like to see the American woman thet a man of “‘Mexican’s” stripe could be king of. It is the man who thinks he is king of all, women in- cluded, whom we are trying to get rid of, Let “Mex- ican” go back where he can be king.

| DENATURED STORIES. A Missouri lady, who withholds her name rather than suffer the notoriety of a quarrel with the President, sends in this one: ‘“‘Last year we had a pair of turkeys, which disappeared early in the spring. We supposed they had gone into the woods, but when we saw nothing of } them for weeks, we concluded that they | had been stolen. Autumn came, and when “Thanksgiving hove in sight, we much regretted the turkeyless stav of affairs on the farm, and longed for our missing pair. You may imagine our joy when, just a few days before Thanks- giving our missing turkeys and a fine, full-grown brood of young came out of the woods and took up their residence in the barnyard.’’ The question is, did the turkeys know the date, or is it instinctive with them to come in when they are wanted? * . * J. D. of St. Louls writes: “It is pretty hard to brand Arthur Heming a nature faker. There is in his new book “Spirit Lake’’ so much that reflects familiarly with the Canadian wilds, that one is inclined to belleve him implicitly from cover to cover. “However, there is one story there which will make it necessary for Ar- thur to wait outside until the President shall advise us whether he should be invited into our confidence. This anec- dote relates how an Indian boy was outwitted by a wolverine. The boy laid his gun beside him while he slept, and the wolverine dragged it off across the snow. When the boy recovered the weapon, he found the trigger guard wrenched aside and the trigger bent, rendering the gun useless. What do you think of it?” ° We don’t think much of it.

REVOLT IN INDIA. From Harper’s Weekly. . India is in the throes of revolution. ‘The press dispatches that have found their way into American newspapers fail to give a mprehensive idea of the real situation in Hindostan. Lord Cur- zon, on the eve of his assumption of the viceroyalty, declared India to be “the pivot of the British Empire.” “If this Empire,”” he emphatically declared, “lost any other part of its dominions, we could survive, but if we lost India the sun of the Empire would set.” To- day this “pivot of the British Empire” is wobbling. Britain is apprehensive lest this “Sun, of the Empire” is losing its potency. Already bloody demonstrations have taken place in different parts of India. The Punjab, at one end of the coun- try, is rent with riots. The two Ben- i gals, at the other extremity, are pro- claimed hotbeds of sedition. The presi- dencies of Bombay and Madras are dis- affected. The unrest in Calcutta, the uprisings in Rawalpindi, the riots in Lahore, and the agitation in Bombay and Maf@ras, separated from on another by hun- dreds of miles, indicate that community of interest is binding the races, nation- alities,.and castes of Hindostan togeth- er, inspiring them to act in concert. A subtle cord of sympathy appears to run through the length and breadth of the land. This is a new development for India. The country, notorious for its antag- onisms of castes, creed, color, custom, climate and language, now seems to puleate at its vital centers with the same heart-throbs. The native press and leaders in In- dia are pulling together and presenting a@ bold front. Hindus, Mohammedans, Sikhs, Brahmins, or Pariahs, they have the regeneration of India at heart—au- tonomy for India is their aim, their en- deavor—and they are resolutely work- ing singly and jointly in the face of ee persecution, and convic- =," India’s awakening has not been sudden nor spasmodic. Gradually English edu- cation has been instilling into the minds of the people love of liberty. Imper- ceptibly English education has been fus- ing together the different castes and races of India, making them more tol- erant toward ene another. What Whisky Is. From the Cartersville (lo.)

HE depressing*effect of dissent and disapproval, and its marked .con- T trast, the exhilarating and heaithy effect of approval and appreciation, ought to lead us to conclude that the form@r trends toward death and the latter possibly toward eternal life in the flesh. Or, in other words, to conclude that unhappiness is unnatural, abnormal and deadly; while happiness is natural, normal! and life-giving. Who has. not. noted the interior ecstasy accompanying “That's just what I think!” from Yriendly lips? Or the opposite effect of the more or less un- stimulating utter.nce: “I don’t agree with you?” We annot but admit that the dissenting voice plays a certain part in the education process, but we cannot give him space here. Let us consider the most accentuated phase of admiration known, that which accompanies sweethearts and the happily married. Engaged or married lovers, entirely past the apprehensive stage, will all attest to improved health and improved looks. The most potent “beauty culture’’ known to man is that of continuous'y administered love and admiration. The plain face becomes charm- ing and the beautiful face more beautiful under their benign influence. Ali the world not oniy loves a lover, but it approves and pronounces its benediction everywhere on all those of the illumined countenance. Kings and queens are they, indeed, who have been crowned with true love. Admiration, anpreviation and approbation, not to mention adoration, have a marvellously good effect upon normal human beings. Of course the person with over-grown self-esteem needs the action occasionally reversed to modulate him to the pitch of human endurance, while the over-modest, underestimating one needs extra approbation—pressure to stimulate him out of his worm-of-the-dust attitude; for he that humbleth himself too much injures his heath and must be exalted somehow, lest he perish with the abnormal and unfit. } *“May I not approve of n:yself?’’ some one joquires. Yes, indeed, if no one else will; or, 1 had better say, OR NO ONE. ELSE WILL; for recognition of merit must have a nuclgus somewhere. “Start an ancestry,”’ like Cromwell, if you must, Others aré bound, ia time,-to recognize your real merits. That we ure usually taken at our own. estimates, will bear repeating. A properly self-respecting person is always more highly regarded by lis fellows. The Uriah Heep type igs no more in tne land. He has gone on a permanent vacation with the ‘‘Worm-of-the-Dust."’ That we think well of our- selves, is very important. A proper degree of self-approval is necessary to health, but we inust stop short of self-deception. We must be our own ivst judges, and pronounce our own verdicts. An in- telligent, discriminating approval of self makes it possible to survive without a single grain of appreciation from any one else. But this is a stage of mental dis- cipline possible only to the very elect. Falling this point of self-sufficiency, low and potent, as well as necessary, are thoughts and appreciation trom others. In such an atroory-here the heart and soul of man expands like a bud in the morning light. ‘There is no doubt that admiration improves the health and pro- longs the life. sweet, how vital, how life-giving and words of kindness, approval é lake Celery Food is the rn important K: = the Cereal Foods, as it contains all a:

Every launch and row boat on the river helped take the exhausted swim- mers out of the water except the large launch Quarantine, which carried a Government flag at the stern and was filled with a gay party of men and women. Although repeatedly called upon to give some aid this boat steamed around in the river, the occupants enjoying the finish immensely and not offering aid to anyone. More than one threat went up from men on the Spread Eagle as to what they would do to the commander of the Quarantine if they had him with- in reach. A large boat, manned by members of the Naval Reserves, put out from the shore and did great work in res- cuing swimmers. When Handy of the Chicago Athletic Club won the swim, the happiest man on the river was Dute Cabanne. Cabanne piloted the Chicago man to victory over the M. A. C. swimmers. Cabanne has lately been deposed as captain of the M. A. C. swimming team and expelled from the club, and the fact that the man he coached won the race came almost as a great victory. Handy knew little or nothing about the current in the river or where to find the best water. Cabanne and Trainer Sullivan of the Chicago Athletic Club, in a rowboat, led the way for the long- distance champion, and as Cabanne knows every inch of the Mississippi from Alton to Carondelet, he planed a _—_ that Handy followed ‘without ques- on.

LUSH SHOULD HELP 10 | BE GREAT HE CARDINALS

Now that the fall series between the Browns and the Cardinals is a certain- ty, although many believed the games would not be played this year, the local fans will get out their books and begin to reason who will be the victors. Without a doubt the Cardinals have just as streng supporters who are will- ing and anxious to back them as have the Browns, a team which many base- ball experts claim one of the best in the country, individually, yet there are some conditions, particularly one, which cannot be overlooked to be in favor of the Cardinals. The condition in particular was dem- onstrated yesterday, when the Cardi- nals easily triumphed over the National League pennant winners. Johnny Lush is again in form for the first time this season, and being a left-hander, he will | add great strength to the Cardinals’ pitching staff. With Karger pitching as he has been throughout the season, and Lush working as he did yesterday | and last week when he won from the hard-hitting Phillies, the Browns will | have to face two left-handers almost equal to any two in the American League The ‘Browns’ main strength with the bat are the men who bat left-handed. Niles, Stone, Pickering and Hemphill are particularly weak against left-hand- ers, and the only men who can success- | fully hit Karger and Lush, if they are mee ee ee ee Gopticeeetngindne = ee a eee

was put up to Mr. Horace Rumsey,” said Arthur Senior, director of swim- ming at the Y. M. A. “Mr. Rumsey said that no one need bother about the

; boats; that he had secured fifty or sixty, ‘and that they would be on hand sure. When the Spread Eagle started she of the 60 promised.” Mr. Rumsey explained to the officials after the race that he had contracted for enough rowboats to give every swimmer one, but at the last minute the people who agreed to furnish them did not do so, and he was unable to get any others. Judges Decision, The judges placed the first ten men in the following order: H. J. WUandy, unattached, Chicago, 1:40:04: A. M. Goessling, M. A. C., 1:41:57 4-5: Gwynne Evans, M., A. C. 1:43:56 2-5; Chas. E. Schrimpf Jr., Y. C. A., 1:44:29 2-5; Tom Martin, M. A. C., 1:45:28: George Hall, M. A. C., 1:46:22; Hugh Siegel, M. A. C., 1:46:45; E. P. Swatek, Illinois A. C., 1:46:45; Walter Thursby, C. Y¥. M. C: A., 1:47:49 2-6: Charles Grimes, Third National, 1:48:17 3-5. This placing !s undoubtedly incorrect in many instances, and the picking of who had been picked up. Often two or three men were picked up together, and at times the men in the boats did not know whom they had saved and made no reply at all. Russell EB. Gardner had originally in- tended to be in charge of the swim and had offered a $2000 row boat as a first prize. Through some squahble be- tween other members of the Missouri Athletic Club and Mr. Gardner he ‘quit the leadership of the contest, and it was given into the hands of others and the prize boat withdrawn. Gardner in Good Place At the finish point Mr. Gardner, #11 alone in his steam yacht Annie Russell, had taken wp an excellent position where every man could have been judged. The Anni¢é Russell is a smaller boat than the big excursion steamers and could have been easily navigated and would have made a splendid place for the judges to have picked the win- ners, William Orthwein, whe apparently had charge of the swim on the Spread Eagle,

In the series this spring Karger. won both his games from the Browns, and there is no doubt that Eddie.is pitching much better ball this fall than he did then. And now that Lush hag been added to the staff'since then and his arm is in a sound condition it wourd seem probable that they might be apie to win four Games between them. Nor are Karger and Lush the only men that the Cardinals can rely on, Eddie and Johnny ‘have been mentioned in particular because they are left- handed men, against who the Browns’ is en strength will be weak, but there

is Beebe, McGlynn and Fromme, who pitched great ball agarnst the Browns } this spring. It will be a long time be- fore the local fans will forget the long extra inning fight between Fromme and | Powell, which Powell finally won by a iscore of 1 to 0. Fred Beebe won his two ig games against the Browns with ease. | McGlynn had a bad inning in the first game, otherwise he held the Browns | safe. : Powell and Howell were the _ only | Mtchers who seemed to keep the Cardi- nal batters guessing in the spring, and they are probably the men who will be i;most effective against the Cardinals | this fall. | Jt may be argued that the Browns’ 'new left-handed pitchers can be worked ‘against the Cardinals this fall. The new men will come from the minors fresh and sound. But the condition which ‘prevails in the Browns’ ranks is not to ‘be found in the Cardinals. Yesterday | when the Cardinals facea the Cubs they ‘had only one left-handed batter—Hop- {kins—in the line-up. Hopkins was very weak against Pfeister, striking out twice, but as soon as Taylor was sub- stituted for Pfeister, Hopkins smashed out a double that scored two runs. The smash was a great drive and nearly fell into the right-field bleachers. So the Cardinals will not only have an improved pitching staff this fall, but they will have a much stronger team in the field at the bat, as they showed yesterday by beating the Cubs twice. The Browns broke even in Cleveland. LUG 10 FINISH IN 320 ROUND

| Ketchell Beats Down Thomas in Grueling Battle at Colma. Long,

END IN RAIN OF BLOWS

Loser Goes Down in the Sixteenth, but Comes Back Gamely.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1—Young Ketchell, the middleweight fighter who came here from Montana a short time ago, battled Joe Thomas to defeat in the thirty-second round of their fight at Colma. Thomas weakened and was knocked out under a terrific shower of blows. He was floored in the sixteenth round and fought back gamely, but Ketchell proved his master almost from the first. With memories of the battle at Gold- field, in which Joe Gans defeated Bat- tling Nelson a year ago .esh in the minds of Western pugilistic followers, a great crowd gathered to see the mill. The fact that Ketchell and Thomas had drawn in their 20-round bout before, when Ketchell floored Thomas twice, added to the general interest, and a great fight was expected. Ketchell had “Spider’ Kelly as his chief adviser. Kelly was assisted by Jack Leroy, Joe Richardson and Johnny Frayne. In Thomas’ corner were Har- ry Foley, Tom O’Leary and Ed Carter. Thomas was favorite at odds of 10 to 6, when the men entered the ring. Both decalred themselves fit to go the sched- uled 45 rounds. The instant they faced each other Ketchell took the aggressive, but Thom- AS Was equally as willing to fight. They hammered each other for 13 rounds with Ketchell having: a slight advantage.

CRESCENT WINS. GARDNER TROPHY The second annual 25-mile boat race, held under the auspices of’ the 8t. Louls Power Boat Association in the Mississippi River yesterday, was won by the Crescent, owned by Commadore Dwight Babcock, with the Geraldine, steered by Vice-Commodore E. lL. Bart- lett, second. The Kitty Sparks Il easily won the time prize. In the morning the handicap trial of one lap was held and the boats were allotted time allowances on their show- ing in this trial lap. The Neptune actually won the race in the afternoon with its given handicap, but It ex- ceeded in the race by more than 5 per cent the time it had made in its trial, and accerdingly was disqualified, The Claranell and Neptune for the same reason were debarred out of FSCe.
