e ONLY ST. LOUIS EVENING NEWSPAPER WITH ASSOCIATED PRESS D ISPA TCHES. _| VOL. 60, NO. 26. td ST, LOUIS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1907 | PRICE ONECENT | ™ JUSTICE CAMPBELL IS ARRESTED ON BRIBERY CHARGE: a — ‘St. Louis County - 7 Magistrate Taken Into Custody as Result of His Recent Indictment. Justice of the Peace Isaac W. Campbell of Clayton, indicted ‘by the late St. Louis County grand jury on the charge of having a bribe of $40 to dismiss a case, was arrested Monday and ed in the gga Court and pleaded not guilty to the indict- ment. The specific charge in the indictment fis that Campbell accepted the money from Attorney E. F. Cunningham in be- half of Arthur Ellegood, a street car conductor, and his cousin, Rolla Kyles _ of Paducah, Ky., who had been charged before Campbell with having made a deadly assault upon Joseph Ruby of ' Bt. Louis on a Creve Coeur car. Ruby was cut in an altercation with 'Willegood and Lyles. He lingered for _gome time at the City Hospital before . being able to appear to prosecute Elle- good and Lyles. They remained two days in the Clayton Jail before being released on bonds signed by eae Wiedner. Cunningham is understood to be ready to testify that he obtained the money to pay Campbell from Miss Ella Carter, half sister of Ellegood, after he had seen Justice of the Peace Campbell at -Autenreith’s saloon in Clayton. He said Campbell told him he would dis- miss the case on payment of $4. Capiases were issued at Clayton Mon- day against 16 others indicted by the late grand jury. Coincident with the opening of the September term of the St. Louis County Circuit Court in Clayton Monday the Republican County Central Committee had also a meeting. Before the meet- ing of the committee one of the mem- bers said some action would be taken regarding the recommendation of the last grand jury that a new grand jury be empaneled to continue the investiga- tion of charges of official graft. After the meeting it was said no definite de- cision on this point had been reached. It was thought that Judge McElhin- ney, on convening court, would give some expression as to whether he de- sired another grand jury. The Court was busy all morning hearing the mo- tions of attorneys. Judge McElhinney did not take up the matter of a new grand jury. —_—_ ~—-GAMELEHS LINE ~ EAST SIDE ROAD PLAYERS ROBBED SP RI a no Proprietors of Boldest ~ Games “Frisk” Pockets. .- of Customers. | of Within reading distance of some of the largest signs on South St. Louis business houses, gambling and lawless- ness reigned Sunday at Cahokia, IIl., which is reached by a 10-minutes’ ride over the Sidney street ferry.

For months Henry F. Richter had been boasting to all of his acquaintances in Alton and to his fellow workmen in the glass factory there that he was a *‘“natural-born”’ snake charmer. He de- clared over and over again that the snake didn’t live that could frighten him, because, he said, all he had to do was.to look into the snake’s eyes and, no matter .how venomous the reptile, it would quail and try to get away. When a crowd of picnickers in Riv- erside Park found a snake Sunday :ft- ernoon, they called for ‘Mr. Richter, He marched up to where the snake was hiding in a tuft of grass and stooped over and locked into its eyes. Success Seems Certain. “‘He’s got it, all right. It’s charmed,” said someone in the crowd. Then the snake acted just like any snake would under the same circum- stances. It sunk its fangs into Richter’s hand. He leaped up with a cry of pain. They filled him with whisky. His hand and arm were swelling all th» time. They took him in a swift launch to Alton and Dr. G, Taphorn attended him. The whisky and the doctor's med- icines together saved him, but he suf- fered great pain all through the night.

James I’. Labadie, 71 years old, who shot and killed a purgiar in his house at 517 South Third street. faced a Coro- ner’s jury Monday and told in a quaint way of the circumstances attending the tragedy. He was promptly exonerated. The scene of the shooting is a quaint house of two stories, which was built almost ninety years ago. It stands a short way back from the street, from which it is separated by a high picket fence. The house is newly painted a brilliant scarlet, with green blinds. Labadie was born and reared in the old house, and in the 70 years of his ex- istence has not slept away from under its roof except for two weeks. ‘I have lived almost seventy-one yoars and I never thought to kill a man,” said Labadie with trembling lips, as he be- gan his testimeny. His eyes filled with tears and he took no pains to conceal his emotion. Ever since the death of my sister three years ago, I have lived alone in the old house,”” he continued. ‘My brothers have tried to pursuade me to live elsewhere, and I tried it for two weeks and then went back. They told me if I continued to live there alone, something would happen which I would regret—and it has. Never Feared Intrusion. “T have never taken the pains to lock or even close my windows, for I never feared an attack. Saturday night I went to beg at the usual hour and left the windows open slightly, merely closing the blinds. “About 2 o’clock I woke up and saw that one of the blinds was partly open. ‘Has there been a storm?’ I asked my- self. “Then I got up on my elbow and looked more closely and saw the dark figure of a man silhouetted against the sky. At first I thought it was some of the boys in the neighborhood playing a joke on me, and that when they saw that I knew they were there and called to them they would go away. “Tl took my révolver from under the bed and shouted to him to go away, but he kept coming. When he had half of his body through the window I fired and he threw himself out, breaking the glass. I fired twice again as I saw the man run toward the fence and go over it like a cat. “Then I heard a policeman cry: snoot again, I’ve got him.’ guess that’s all. “T was going to have some of the old citizens here to testify to my “good character. My grandfather came to St. Louis in 1700, and Labadie avenue was named after the family.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 16.—Experts are still working on the books of Charles E. Letten, the aged defaulter in the office of the State Tax Collector, who stole from the State for four years to*gratify the whims of a mulatto gir! with whom he was infatuated, and it was said today that the shortage will be at least $118,000. Letten is- in Jail in default of bond. He was indicted last Friday by a spe- cial grand jury on a charge of embez- ziement. The maximum penalty in this State is seven years’ imprisonment at hard labor. The prisoner still insists that Virginia Lee, the negress for whom he stole, thought he obtained the money honest- ly. The Lee woman denies she received any very great sum from him. He says he gave her $500 a week for four years. Virginia Lee owns four houses and much valuar - jewelry, including dia- mond-studded garters worth $500. She says she earned most of her money by taking in washing. Letten has a wife and is the father of three grown children and is a grand- father. He attended church regularly before his defaleations were discovered and was well respected.

CIRL BAR BACK TO PROV SHE |S HERS Tillie Tolan, Claimed as Wife, and by Two Sets of Par- ents, Has No Mole. Special to the Post-Dtispatci.. CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—If Miss Tillie Tolan, claimed as the wife of a man She says she never met until last week, and idéntified as the daughter of two sets of parents, did meet and marry John Klimovicz more than a year ago in Milwaukee, she has by some mysteri- ous means removed from her back the mole which Kliimovicz swore in court lust Friday was the one mark by which he could identify her to others. Miss Tolan refused to bare her shoul- ders and back in Judge Cleland’s court, but at her home today, in the presence of witnesses, she convinced a reporter that there is no mole or other blemish in the place indicated by Klimovicz. She also produced documentary evidence to show that she is Tillie Tolan, who, in a short time, expects .o become the bride of Henry Hammerstrom, to whom she has been engaged fer several months. As for Klimovicz, he didn’t know what to do when seen today. He gave up all hope of convincing Tillie she was his wife He talked about getting a d- voree from her. He wanted much to es- tablish her identity as his wife, ne said. just te convince the world he had not been mistaken . Attorney Ponic, employed by Klimo- vicz, had heard of Mrs. Klimovicz in Elgin. That clew will be investigated. Here Is Her Evidence. In addition to the absence of the mole, Tillie hopes to prove her identity by the fellowing: Her baptismal certificate, showing she was born in Escanaba, Mich., in 1887, and was baptized the following June.

It showec:’ Mathilda Therisa Thulin had been born in Escanaba, Mich., April 28, 1887, which makes her a little over 20 years old. She was baptized, according to this certificate. on June 12, that year, by the Rev. S. G. Larson, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran Church at Escanaba. The Rev. Larson now is at New Wind- that’s

The pas- tor, the Rev. Henry Soderholm, had written the date and her. name and an appropriate inscription on the fly- leaf. Speaks Swedish, Not Lithuantan. Miss Tolan has the skin of her race, the Swedish type. She speaks that lan- guage fluently, but apparently does not understand a word of Lithuanian. Her mother advanced that circumstence as another evidence of her daughter's iden- tity. Mrs. Klimovicz was a Lithuanian and could not speak Swedish. Then the two women showed a pic- ture on the wall of the parlor. It showed Tilly as she lookcd six years ago when she was in her confirmation class. It was easy to see the young woman with a tear-stained face and the girl in the picture were the same per- son. And to crown all there is no mole on Mis Tolan’s back. She says she has no moles and never had. Kiimoviez said to Judge Cleland Fri- day: “I will be willing to go to Jail if this woman has not sch a mole.” Judge Clelan, after hearing both sides of the case, declared he could not de- cide upon such a question.

A donkey engine stood close to the caisson, and the caisson fell across it, breaking a pipe which let all the steam escape. The hissing of the escaping steam, the sight of the big caisson lying across the engine, and the appearance of the two men scrambling frantically out with faces and hands cut, alarmed their fel- low workers. The others thought the engine might explode, and ran behind posts and piles of steel plates and lumber. The loss to the contractors by the falling of the caisson will be several hundred dollars. The concrete will have to be dug out and the caisson lifted again to an upright position. The work of sinking these bank foundations to bedrock 65 feet below has been unusually difficult, expen- sive and hazardous. A stratum of quicksand was struck in Sinking the shafts for the founda- tion pillars, and no ordinary method of tunneling could go through it. The Sand and water ran in as fast as it was pumped out.

STEALS HORSE FO MONEY TO WED OX Young Man Sells Father Animal He Took From Employer, Buys Suit.

Harry Stotzky, needing money with which to get married, stole a horse from his employer and sold it to his father, V. E. Stotzky of 4299A Kennerly avenue, a contractor. He had bought a wedding suit, and was preparing to lead Miss Mamie Windhorst to the altar when he was ar- rested. Stotzky is 23 years old. He was em- ployed as houseman at the country home of John Broemmelsiek at Jennings, St. Louis County, until two weeks ago, when he was discharged. Brings Home a Bargain. Saturday morning the young man went to his home and said to his father: “Tf you want to buy a good horse I can get you one for $70.” “Bring it around and I'll look at it,” said his father. Later in the day young Stotzky re- turned home, leading a horse. His father saw it was a bargain and bought it, deducting from the purchase price $10, which his son owed him. Deputy Sheriff Miller found Stotzky at the Wimihorst home, near Jennings. Miss Windhorst begged that he be not arrested. ‘“‘We were just going to get married,”’ she pleaded.

The fall opening at the May com- pany’s store, Sixth street and Washing- ton avenue. began Monday and will con- tinue Tuesday. Throughout the morn- ing the four floors of the company’s mercantile palace were thronged with shoppers. The third floor was especially a center of eager and enthusiastic in- terest for women. There the season’s newest hats and gowns are displayed. Beautiful hats by the hundreds are displayed, any one of which would make a woman happy. Many of the hats are imported. It is noticeable that the styles run to large shapes this year. Plumes are In fashion and clusters of them-are heaped on many of the creations. All the hats are profusely ornamented. In addition to feathers and plumes, buckles of large size and striking design are used in theftr ornamentation. Then there are pom-poms, some of great size, all of the so-called mushroom variety. In addition, there are tailored hats of somewhat severer design, but neverthe- less of very attractive cut. Browmseems to be the reigning shade. In ladies’ suits, brown is equally the favorite. Not any particular shade of brown, but, as a May company expert expressed it, all the shades of brown represented by the changing colors of the autumn leaves. Navy blue also seems a favor- ite color tn ladies’ fall suits, with a few greens also popular. The suits will be less ornate than the hats. A few will be braided with a color almost like the suit, but, the majority will be plain and of severe cut. In addition to its display of hats and tailored suits on the third floor, the May company has a complete new stock of the latest styles and designs in ally the accessories to women’s costumes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—When Miss Elizabeth A. C. White is telling Twenty- third street.that hipless women are the chly right ones, Forty-second street has another eminent artiste who is show- ing how it ig done by doing it. Mme. Irma Monti Baldini, ltaly’s most famous Carmen, who has just arrived from Paris with enough trunkfuls of clothes to make the Hotel Knicker- bocker porters’ backs ache, says she hasn’t a hippy: gown in the whole lot. “I—know—not—what is zis’ hips, but se hanches-n-e-v-a-i-r,’’ says Mme. Mon- ti Baldini. “I bring wiz me ze robes Parisian, and it is necessary—absolutely —to loose ze—what you say, hips.”’ Mme. Monti Baldini, whose last ap- pearance in New York was at the time of her sensational portrayal of Carmen, has come back with two sensations— one a tabloid version of Carmen, which she has condensed into u %#-minute yaudeville number, the other a new fig- ure, which, if we may be bold as to write it, she has condensed into the hipless form divine. While Mme. Monti Baldini carries the hipless figure with Paquin exactness off stage, she hasn’t yet modified her hectic cigarette girl into a hipkh*ss Cai men, “Ze fashions are for ze salon and for ze street,” said Mme. Baldini, showing a Paquin hipless gown of white lace em- proidered In gold and silver green thread. The straight lines of the lace dinner gown’ fell in from a high empire girdle of green satin, above which the bolero-like embroidered lace formed a novel corsage. The long skirt is accen- tuated@-by the straight line outlined iv Venetian lace. The hipless gown, a Paquin model, is death to the undulating Broadway curves of the billowy show girls, but Mme. Baldini says it is not a very dif- ficult matter to acquire the hipless type of beauty which Paris has decreed is the proper thing for the coming sea- son.

Monti Baldini. “Naturally I would not make my Carmen on the stage a thin girl with no hips. She could not be what you call seductive— ne?’’ “Then you think curves and hips are necessary to be fascinating?’’ Mme. Monti Baldini was asked. “To be the mode is always fascinat- ing,’’ said the prima donna non-com- mittedly. “It ig not necessary to be the mode to be a Spanish gypsy.”’

LYMPIC CAUSES ALARM Tremendous Noises at 4 A. M. Arouse Residents of the Neighborhood. ALL A PART OF PLAY Blowing Up of Mine Is Part cf Hall Caine’s “The Bondman.” FPEHEARSAL AT NIGHT Manager Brady Insisted That RSP Sraes > pe se The one-act musical farce, “College Days,” in which Fredegick V. Bowers) ® stars and sings three new songs of his compasing, supported by a company of a hoif-dozen or more members, is done with a strenuous rush of physical ac- tion, but lacks real-fun and leaves an impression of somewhat exaggerated ex- ertion without a corresponding deyel- opment of humor. Mme. Herrmahn’s tricks of magic are of the antiquated order and devoid of any new element of mystification. An especially entertaining act, how- ever, is that of Ray L. Royce, who de- picts a group of village law-court char- acters appearing in the course of trial of a breach-of-promise suit, and closes with a recitation of Sam W. Foss’ home- ly poem of helpful fellowship entitled “Say ‘Hello!’”’ Delmore and Lee give an almost startling exhibition of aerial athletics in their original novelty, “A Study in Black and White,’ in which they’ use apparatus built and patented by themselves. Canfield and Carleton, prime local favorites, highly amused the house with their little farce, ‘‘The Hoodoo Man,”’ and other features were Mills and Morris, blackface minstrel girls; Harry C. Stanley, assisted by Sarah L. Coggswell, in a musical com- edy sketch entitled “‘Der Kapellmeister,”’ and new motion pictures. “The College Widow” at Century. “The College Widow,’’ George Ade’s great football play, returned to the Century Theater Sunday night and, in | spite of the warm weather that smacked r -jof summer gardens and cooling street ear rides, drew a big, enthusiastic audience. The play is as we have seen and liked it so many times in St. Low!s. Gertrude Quinlan, who created the role of Flora Wiggins, the crude and com!- cal waitress, and who played the part so successfully in the East whén the play was first put on, is with the com- pany for the first time in St. Louis and is the comedy hit of the show. Robert Kelly as the handsome Billy Bolton, the star halfback of the Atwater College team, and Marguerite Snow, the pretty “widow,” who captures the great Bol- ton for the team, play their parts ad- mirably and are well supported by George Trimble, Billy’s adoring father, and others. The play is still a prime favorite, and the supporting company capable. Rich- ard Taber’s work as “Stub” Talmadge, the busy under-graduate, is worthy of more than passing notice. The great Thanksgiving day game and its viciory for Atwater is realistic and pleasing. “Arizona” at Grand. “Arizona,’’ one of the best plays writ- ten by Augustus Thomas, returned to St. Louis yesterday, opening a week's engagement at the Grand. It is well produced by Hollis E. Cooley, especial attention being paid to its scenic oppor- tunities. The presenting company is capable, the leading characters of the picturesque story being in competent hands, and the interest is well main- tained from start to finish. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” at Imperial. wittle Eva and the bloodhounds and Lawyer Marks and Topsy and cruel 5!- mon Legree were all in evidence at the Imperial yesterday afternoon and even- ing, “Uncle Tom’s Cabfw” then begin- ning its week's engagement. It’s a re written version of the famous old play and seemed greatly to delight its two opening audiences. On Friday night there'll be an amateur buck-and-wing dancing competition for handsome prizes offered by Manager Russell. “The Mysterious Burglar” at Havlin’s. Havlin’s was full of excitement yes- terday afternoon and last nght, “The Mysterious Burglar,”’ a new melodrama, supplying the thrills. Its scenes are laid in the Klondike gold camps and its story is rich in pulse-quickening situa- tions. Columbia's New Bill. For the week beginning this afternoon the Columbia offers a bright vaudeville bill. It includes McMahon's Pullman Porter Maids, singing and dancing; Bert Leslie, in ‘Hogan’s Visit;’’ Tom Nawn and company, in “Pat and the Genili;” Elsie Fay and Bissett and Miller, sing- ing and dancing; the Christie Duo of dancers from St. Petersburg; Daist Du- mont, vocalist; Ed Lavine, eccentric juggler, and new motion pictures. Champagne Girls at Standard. The Champagne Girls began a week's engagement at the Standard with yes- terday’s matinee. They present a clev- er entertainment, and the company of # is headed by Potter and Hartwell, Farland and Murray, the Coltons and Lyons, the juggler. Boston Belles at Ga y. The Boston "Belles came to the Gayety yesterday, beginning a week's engage- ment with matinee and evening per- formances. The bill includes a clever few musical comedy,’ well presented, and a bright olio of entertaining acts. “The Bondman” at Olympic Tonight. The first American production of Hall Caine’s dramatization of his own novel, “The Bondman,’’ will be made at the Olympic tonight, beginninz a week's engagement. William A. Brady {fs star- ring Wilton Lackaye in the role of Ja- son, and the engagement promises to be one of the most memorable of the sea- son. WIFE AWAY, HE DRINKS POISON Mother Finds Body of Clerk, Bottle Under Pillow. The dead body of H. S. Draper was found in his bed Monday morning by his mother when she went to call him to breakfast. He had committed sul- cide by drinking carbolic acid. The empty bottle was under his pillow. He left no note, but it is known that he bad worried much about his domestic affairs. He lived apart from his wife. Draper was a clerk for the Brewer- Clark Co., 704 North Taylor avenue, and lived with his parents at 1124A Madison street. He was 33 years old. His wife and an 8-year-old daughter lived in the East. His 10-year-old son, Harold, Mc- lived with him.

A complaint that Rothmeler was shaving a man on Sunday, in violation of the closing law, was made to the officer by Carles Spreugpfeil, a barber, of 2724 Chariton street. Seven negroes were arrested in a raid on @ house at 203 South Sixteenth street, early Sunday ern charged with violating the Sundav-closing law.” Two men informed ise poiice that they had bought beer in the place. Lucian Smith and Sa:nuvel Miller. col- ored, were arrested at their home, John street, at noon Sunday, on infor- mation furnished by John B. Hanson of 1418 Locust street, who said he had bought beer and whisky In the place. Three cases of beer and a bottle of whisky were found on the premises. Fred Viehman, 22 years old, of 1304 North Market street, was arrested in a raid on the Monroe Club, at 1202 North Market street, and charged with selling beer without a license. Six cases gt beer, a gallon of whisky and a bottl® of wine were confiscated, and nine negroes were arrested in a raid at 20 Johnson street Sunday night.

Announcements have been received in St. Louis of the marriage in Chicago of Mrs. Harriet McAuley Carpenter, dl- vorced wife of Clarkson Carpenter, son of a rich St. Louis real estate dealer, to Charles T. Morse, a Chicago attor- ney. Mr. Morse lives at Kenilworth, a sub- urb of Chicago. His bride’s parents, Mr. Mrs. John T. McAuley, also live there. The ceremony was performed Saturday afternoon by Rev. Mr. Hors- well of the Kenilworth Union Church. Both Previously Married. Like his wride, dispatches say, Mr. Morse has been married before.

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 16—That President Roosevelt himself asked for the cocktails served at Vice-President Fairbanks’ dinner at Indianapolis, is asserted by Bishop Joseph F.

Shore of West Bay City, Mich., and Solomon Endel of Lake Charlies, la., about a week ago. Shore's nose was broken and he recieved other injuries. He has been in the hospital until this morning, when he was restored to duty. Both are members of the same class, the second, so that the affair had noth- ing to do with hazing or class feeling. The fight was said to have been be- cause of some taunt directed against Endel, who is a Jew. Shore was badly beaten and his friends were very anx- jous about him for awhile. As the fight was of a personal nature the authorities are not likely to deal severely with the participants.

_ Umpire William G.

He said he thought Duesenberg wa over enthusias- tie over the game and had not thrown the bottle with the intentien of harm- ing him.

ee ee ee WOMEN SUFFER Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, know- ing well that they ought to have immediate assistance. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, flatulency, nervousness and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and un- less heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The best remedy for all the symptoms is Vegetable Compound No other medicine in the country has lified endorsement. No other medi- cine has such a record of cures of female ills. Miss J. F.

Schoppe said that all persons caught throwing bottles at th® ball games will be prosecuted. The police have no power to stop the sale of soda water in the stands while the owners of the park have license to do that kind of business. Though rowdyism of this kind has manfested itself several times this year, President R. L. Hedges, who owns the park, says the sale of pop will not be stopped. He say~ the players are usual- ly too far away to be hurt by such mis- siles. Twenty thousand people were in the erand «and, pavilion, bleachers and the rope-inclosed field when Harry Howell, who was pitching for ths Browns, went to bat for the first time. Howell caught one of Pitcher Killian’s curves on the end of his bat and drove it on a line into the oleachers. The spectators stood up an. shouted themselves hoarse as the pitcher made the circuit of the bases and tied the score, Detroit having made one run in the first inning. Duesenberg, 17 years old, a clerk in the office of the German Consulate, 408 Olive street, was among the crowd of wildly enthusiastic ‘‘rooters’’ in the left- field bleachers. As the umpire and players walked along the foul line they stopped for a moment in front of the bleachers. Some one threw a bottle and it fell near the players. Bottle Was Filled. In a delirium of, joy Duesenburg arose in his seat and threw a bottle, filled with a soft drink. Straight as an ar- row it flew toward Umpire Evans. It struck him at the bas Jf the skull and he fell as if he had been shot. The bot- tle was broken into a. “*ouvsand rieces and bits of it sprinkled the players who were standing near. It weighed, with its contents, 23 ounces. Pandemonium broke loose. The play- ers, thinking Umpire Evans had been killed, gathered-around him and car- ried him quickly to the clubhouse, where he was attended by half a dozen physi- cians. The crowd, gered by the incident, began making threats against the bot- tle thrower. The police crowded into the bleachers to search for the bottle thrower. Duesenberg was pointed out by two other occupants of the stands, and he was arresteu. He admitted that he threw the bottle. He said that he was excited over the fact that Pitcher Howell's home run had tied the score, and threw the bot- tle aimlessly toward the field. He de- clared that he did not intend to hit the umpire. Police Restrain Crowd. So enraged were the people in the stands that they began shouting, “Lynch him." Several women fainted. The men in the stands made a _ rush for the exits to get on the ficid, evi- dently intending to administer sum- mary punishment to the bottle throw- er. The police kept the greater part of the crowds back, but several th usand angry men followed the captors of Duesenburg and threatened him. Capt. Schoppe of the Dayton Street Police Station, Patrolmen Quigley, Collier, Reeves and Hollingsworth finally got the prisoner out of the park in safety, Some of the crowd followed the police- men and the prisoner to the old Fair Grounds Station, determined to punish Duesenburg.

MONOPOLY GRAFT IN ST. LOUIS GAS. er We pay a dollar, or $1.10, per thousand feet an * for gas in St. Louis. Fifty cents more than cov- eo i ters the cost, and the rest represents reasonable | profit, plus monopoly graft. That we yield near- 4 ly as much for graft as we ought to pay for gas | is proved by conditions elsewhere. Indianapolis, where the manufacture and Stribution are on a smaller and consequently more expensive scale, the people are demanding -cent gas, with the prospect of getting it. In _ # Cikcinnati, with a 75-cent rate, and Cleveland, with ;a 70-cent rate, the companies pay 61-2 per cent f, of their gross earnings into the city treasuries and still make a handsome profit. It has been demonstrated in Chicago, Detroit and elsewhere that gas can be made and distributed at a cost of 40 to 45 cents to the company. a In England numerous flourishing companies are * making and selling gas at prices little above a oh half-dollar and paying good dividends on the Pactual capital invested. There is not enough a ference in conditions in the two countries to plain the discrepancy between the English rates un¢ ours. fy s premise is well established for a fight for - Feauced rates in St. Louis, the worst gas-swindled 4 4 ak in the United States. And not only the facts the argument, but the legal means as well, provided by which St. Louis consumers may 3 Sipe! the reduction.

Joplin has long needed a first-class cleaning up, and nobody is better qualified for the job than the editor of the News-Herald. ss A a A The Louisiana official who is now in jail did not~ hesitate to steal $500 a week for a negress, but when it came to drowning himself, as he might have done with some. propriety, he could not make the plunge. There are several differ- ent kinds of nerve in the world. i, A Lip ~~ THE WISDOM OF POPULAR LOANS. A popular loan is not necessarily one which is fully subscribed for in small amounts. New York publicly offered $40,000,000 of city bonds last week and the bids therefor ranged from a few dollars to hundreds of thousands in amount. . A public bond sale is open to everybody and the small buyer is as welcome as the larger one. When bonds are disposed of to syndfcates at pri- vate sale a small number of capitalists merely act as middlemen. Sooner or later the securities are widely distributed. It may be doubted if a city whose credit is good should ever dispose of bonds at private sale. Every such issue should contemplate the largest possible market and the conditions should be such as to invite the co-operation of all persons having surplus funds to invest. One reason why the public debts of Great Britain and France have been called a public blessing is to be found in the fact that consols and rentes are largely in the hands of the masges. If the rich may be attached to government by interest, so may the poor, for human nature in the cottage does not differ from human nature in the palace. It would be a good and a wise thing for this country if its financiers, statesmen and captains of industry would so arrange their legitimate stock and bond issues as to popularize them. The mass of the people are left too much to the tender mercies of wildcatters and swindlers, who are at least smart, enough to recognize the demand for securities of small denominations. The whole machinery of issuing, floating and transferring meritorious stock and bonds is in the hands of a limited class, which has done what it could to discourage small investors. After a few more popular bond sales shall have been carried to suecess, it is to be hoped that they will become habitual rather than exceptional. ==. rr Messila Valley, New Mexico, is boasting the largest dam in the world, bigger than the Nile dam, but in reality Danville, Ill., has the edge on either of them when Speaker Cannon is speak- ing emphatically.

a Le , i i MAYOR WELLS’-SHOOFLY MAY BE GADFLY. “Please don’t disturb my equanimity,” said the Mayor when asked about the free bridge, or in other words, “Shoo, fly; don’t bother me!” Shoo flies, albeit, have been known to develop long, lacerating, lancinating stingers, and here is one that refuses to be waved away by a light, yawning indifference. Popular persistence, if thwarted -by Mayor Wells, will become an angry gadfly about the size of a devil’s doctor, and when it applies its business end to the region of his equanimity there will be something doing in the seat of municipal govern- ment sufficient to set his faculties in a riot. = = ie Sg The amiable young St. Louis woman who cap- tured a.burglar and turned him over to the po- lice, explains that her muscle was acquired through exercise with a broom handle. Has the golf stick ever done as much as that for any of its devotees?

a, A. ee. rr THE WORLD’S MILLION. How important a public service a great news- paper renders was strikingly illustrated on Sat- urday, when the New York World celebrated in appropriate fashion™the receipt of the one mil- lionth advertisement since Jan. 1 last. This is a case in which figures do not convey at once the magnitude of the fact stated. One million separate advertisements in a little over eight months mean that during t.sat period there was at least one announcement for every adult in the metropolis. There is no more important clearing house than a popular newspaper, and the World is the most popular journalistic institution that New York has ever known.

The polar balloon, now North, should steer for St. REVOLUTION BY REFERENDUM. The Post-Dispatch’s esteemed correspondent, Mr. B. G. Hanna, of St. Louis, is in error when he assumes that our constitutional provisions for amendments are the same thing as the initiative and referendum. Americans, as he truly says, have always legis- lated en masse on many important subjects such as constitutions and amendments thereto, bond issues, some extensive public works, prohibitory laws, etc., Dut the initiative and referendum go far beyond these things. Under that system our representative Govern- ment, would be superseded by a pure democracy in which an attempt would be made to have every detail of legislation passed upon by the people in a body. \ This has worked fairly well in limited areas and among small populations dealing with local matters only, but it has always failed on a larger scale and never was even attempted in a conti- nental republic such as our own. In fact, it was to guard against this most ob- vious danger to the stability and energy of gov- ernment that the men who founded the American republic adopted the representative system as one of its distinguishing principles. Our referendumers have a right peaceably to revolutionize the Government if they can, but they ought to know what they are doing. = = - Carnegie is about three years behind with his taxes: and still refuses to pay them.

Will you kindly allow me a little space in your let- ter column? I should like to ask if anyone can tell me of a restaurant or hotel] in St. Louis where they do not serve scraps in the forms of cutlets, stews, dressing, pudding, corned beef hash, minced ham on toast, mince pie, etc.? I like to get what I pay for, and not scraps left by some other individual. DISGUSTED.

Girls Are Indiscreet. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I think some girls are as much to blame for mash- ing as men. While riding in a Cass car last Friday evening a middle-aged man offered a seat to a young woman and they began a conversation. When she got off the car he again offered it to a young girl, who also conversed with him until she left the car. Then a third one, who seemed to think it wise to talk to a strange man. He left her when the car reached the 4200 block of St. Louis avenue, and she, seemingly, looked for another victim. This tempts a man, and gives a woman a bad reputation. ( A BRIDE. The Fight for Cheaper Gas. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish there was some way of calling particular attention to one stage of the fight for cheaper gas which you have bravely started. It will be interest- ing to watch the “also ran’’ newspapers get in the game when they are driven to it by the force of the public sentiment aroused by the Post-Dispatch. Al- ready the old Globe seems to be taking notice, Pret- ty soon the organ of the Big Cinch will give off some editorial maunderings defending high gas, after the fashion of those with which it attempted to defend the Terminal Association in the campaign for a free bridge. Outside of the Post-Dispatch, Billy Reedy’s Mirror is the only brave thing in St. Louis journal- ism. Billy, by the way, is right on this gas ques- tion. He will do his best to help skin the monopoly that has been skinning the public so long. As for the others, they will only come in like wards. JUNIUS CONSUMER. The Rare Masher. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch I want to say my word of appreciation of the very clever article by Miss Stoughton in a recent number of the Post-Dispatch on the subject of the masher and what might be called the “‘masher-ee.’’ I think you stated the case most fairly and most clearly, and I was glad that you did so. tended experience—reportorially, I hasten to say- with such cases, I have found almost invariably that the lady invited the advances in much the manner and while I have never found the man in the case to be much of a man—he is usually an egotistical idler with bargain-counter intelligence— I do not recall that I have ever believed that he act- ed without some sort of invitation. Frequently, also, the sudden appearance of a husband or some ac- quaintance causes the ‘ady to change her mind and transform a flirtation into a case of ‘“‘mashing.” [ really think the public should worry very little about the ‘‘masher,’’ male and female.’ The few genuine cases are pretty well attended to by big brothers and husky husbands—and they get enough innocent vic- tims to make amends for any guilty ones they over- look. HARRISON CLARK. + San Antonio, Tex. Street Car Accidents, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The article in your paper about street car condcuc- tors stafting cars too soon is certainly the truth if the truth ever was told, and, as you say, there ought to be a stop put to it. If you notice the kind of men the United Railways Co. employ you will find that nine out of ten of them are farmer boys. Boys whose age ranges from 18 to 4 years, some of whom have never been in a city like this until they came to go to work for this company. Many. may have never had the chance to see a city if it had not been for this company, with their enticing offers of easy work, short hours and good pay. Many people may not believe this, but such is the method employed by this company to secure help. Now, in the first place they can secure the services of these farmer boys for much less than that of a man raised in the city, in the second place they figure that they are more honest than the city man. They may be, but they cost the company more in the long run with damage suits, the amount of accidents they are to blame for, the amount of deaths they cause and the amount of serious and sometimes life-long injuries that they are invariably the direct cause of. Now, the motor- men are as bad as the conductors. I actually saw a motorman the other day that was 07 or 68 years old if he was a day. A man like him can’t see two feet ahead of him. Nice man to have on the front end of a car, eh? Why, in some cases they are half asleep, some having been on the same car for fifteen or sixteen hours, with the exception of a few hours off in the afternoon, Now you have the cause. Here is the remedy. F6rce this company to hire men whose ages range from 28 to 37 years, and those that have been brought up in the city. Make their runs short- er, pay bigger and see that their eyesight, hearing, etc., is good (something they never do is examine 4 man), and you will notice the accidents that they are to blame for decrease.

There are so many diseases that it might spread The fly, on the other hand, Its special- ver and malaria. but doesn't. has no specialty in disease. ty is filth, and filth covers a multitude of troubles. Typhoid germs, tubercu- losis germs and any and every other kind of germs are all the same to it. It is a scavenger that drops its load of refuse in the butter or the milk. More- over, it is a busybody in the early morn- ing hours, keeping honest folk awake in their beds, weakening their vitality thereby and making them all the more certain victims to the very germs that elsewhere 1t purveys to their palates. Nor is this the worst count against the fly. There is insult added to injury when the fly, germs and all, goes under the surface of the milk or coffee. If the fly would drown in the milk or coffee that would be some reparation for a, evil life. But it won't. Even after pro-' longed submersion it goes back to busi- ness as soon as it gets its wings dry. Both its industry and its vitality count against it In the reckoning, to the defl- ance of moralist and physical culturist alike. ‘tne fly evidently must go. We Want Cheaper Gas, From the Boston Herald. Gas engines as large as 3000 horse- power now under construction in Ger- many have been noted by a party of American scientific men and manufac- turers, who are now touring the old weeld in search of information regard- ing Europe's industrial growth. These observers, one. of whom is Prof. Ray- nor Allen, of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, report that, while gas engines with us are yet in the ex- perimental stage, in Germany, as well as generally throughout Europe, they have become subject to practical use. Restrict Saloons to Business Center. From the Washington (Ind.) Herald. There is but one side to the argument that saloons should be restricted to the business parts of cities. There is where they belong, and it is perfectly safe to predict that a few years will see them all driven from the residence districts in all cities. Deadly Gas Heaters. From the Chicago Journal. In the burning of any flame, Iike that of a common gas burner, oxygen from the air unites with the carbon and forms carbon dioxide, a gas. A person in a closed room filled with carbon dioxide will suffocate slowly. If a light con- tinues to burn in a room filled with car- bon dioxide the fame will give off car- bon monoxide, another gas, which is a quick working, death dealing poison. The other day Coroner Hoffman and physicians from his office performed an experiment in a small bathroom in which a young man had been found dead, the postmortem examination in- dicating that he died of poisoning. In the bathroom, at the time of the young] man’s death and at the time of the ex- re was a small gas heater, such is commonly used in houses warming water.

Mansfield’s personality was the prime source of Interest to them, and every super of the mob—courtiers and Gascon cadets—was wildly anxious to gain a personal recognition from the great Cyrano, but he appeared entirely oblivious of the presence of each and all of them. But one night toward the end of the week a student-super who had strayed away for a few moments rejoined his comrades.

After many years of riotous expenditure the magnates both big leagues show a disposition to come together and trim down the spring fining expenses, says the Chicago Tribune. The idea is to dispose of the “@xcess baggage during the winter instead of Waiting until] spring. By ex- ec igs tggage we mean the scores of promising youngsters drafted from the nor leagues at the close of the playing season. Of what use are _ these junmsters beyond a burden of expense to their new proprietors? The staff jotogs in our leading cities get a flash at them, and for about six weeks wepring the cream of the minor leagues’ stars are pulling for top the in the sleeping cars. Boon after the regular season opens they drift back to the bushes, and : thé, scouts go sleuthing for more of the same kind. Three or four clubs in | the?American League have drafted all of thirty men each, and are blowing Bt about it. The same condition obtains in the National, and several back E, Pe counties have yet to be heard from. When the snow departs these promis- 3 : ing young bloods will tour the cotton: belt in top berths, and be heard of no | more... Thousands of dollars are expended on the junket and millions of Re photdsraphic plates that might. have been put to good use are wasted snap- ' ping characteristic poses of the said young bloods. The old stagers do the _ totton belt as usual in the lower berths, and return to the same old jobs as in seasons past. a é Still each club must have a scout, and what he digs up in the way of - phepems must be exploited—in other words, given a run for the magnates’ | onpy. The question of what to do with the promising new material | Came-up at the Cincinnati field day last week, and, as usual, that wide- » © ®waké sportsman, Garry Herrmann, had a suggestion to offer. It is worthy ' ©f Serious consideration. Mr. Herrmann’s idea is to hold a winter carnival, s devoting an entire week to trying out bush league phenoms at indoor base- B! ball. As few of them play outdoor ball after joining the big league, the | praposition seems fair enough. An admission fee would help pay the sal- ¥ arte: gf the scouts who exhumed the phenoms, and Mr. Herrmann would | Bee that the discarded phenoms found their way back home. He paid the | SxXpenses of all athletes who participated in the field events, and it would be ~ @asy t6 work him on the indoor angle. ~The more we think of the winter indoor carnival the better we like it. Of course, the entire phenom evil could be obviated by abolishing, or can- ing. the scout, but he is a good fellow and must live. Therefore, let the of the State Albany. It is less than a month since was occasioned by the annouhcement — that two judgments, aggregating had been entered against the onée Fith turfman and speculator.

It has haprened several times this season, but never beforo with auy disastrous resu:ts. There is no punisiiment severe enough for a man or boy who, under the protéction of a crowd, will assault a defenseless man. It haus been customury for botile-threw- ing to be laughed at and encouraged by people in the bleachers, and the mian- agement of parks everywhere have nev- er considered it worth while stopping— until someone got hurt, as was the case yesterday. It would be a comparatively casy mMat- ter to arrest every person seen throwing a bottle or anything else onto the dia- mond. A few arrests and heavy fines, while they might keep a few quarters from finding their way into the till, would soon put a stop to the trouble. A man arrested and fined would prob- abiy swear never to spend another cent in. seeing a ball game, and baseball would be very much better off if he kept his word. Referring to the rumor, Says that “Missouri and Woodlands will always suit me.”

Schreiber’s farm in the Sacramento Valley will not be used as the nucleus for a thoroughbred breeding estab- lishment. Its chiéf purpose will be to shelter any of Barney’s racers that may hhave broken down or that may haye become incapacitated, either from excessive racing or some other cause. Mr. Schreiber also gives the infor- mation that-a new race track for Los Angeles is assured. This probably refers to the pro- posed plant at Arcadia, which is lo- cated at “Lucky” Baldwin’s Santa Anita ranch, and which’ has been in course of construction for some time. The Arcadia track will be under the joint control of Baldwin, Schreiber and George Rose. Rose Is Well Known. Rose has been the chief figure at Ascot Park, and is well and favorably known in all the important racing points in the country. One of the peculiar features of Woodlands is that although it pro- duces, annually, between § fifty and one hundred thoroughbreds, there is ho sale of them. Schreiber breeds and develops his racers, exclusively for his own us7-. Coi. Matt Winn is now taking a kind- ly look-in at the Lexington meeting. That is a part of the job.

NEW YORK, Sept: 16.—Joe Rogers and his manager, Tom O'Rourke, sailed for England Saturday, and as soon as they leave the boat they will strike the trail for George’ hackensthmidt’s scalp. ‘“Hack’’ is tne champion wrest- ier of the world, but O'Rourke and Rogers are very confident that the lat- ter is the better wrestler, and they are determined to make a desperate ef- fort to bring the championship back with them. \ Rogers is a bigger man than Hack- enschmidt. The American weighs 260 pounds when in condition for a wrest- ling match, and Hackenschmidt 220. But it is doubtful if Rogers as strong as “The Russian Lion.” Both men know pretty much about each other's style, for it was while training Hack- enschmidt at Brown’s gymnasium that Rogers became imbued with the idea of being a wrestler - _—— > — A new record was constituted yester- Cay at Ida Grove, Io., but owing to the {telegraph difficulties we are not pre-

John- is NEW YORK, 16.—Davy son, owner of the mighty Roseben, anxious to match his sprinter against James R: Keene’s peerless Colin for a six-furiong sprint, at the Belmont Park track this fall. Mr. Johnson declared that he is ‘willing to bet $5000 or $10,000 that his horse can defeat Colin in a weight-for-age race at that distance. Under the conditions Roseben would have to carry 130 pounds, while Colin would have to pack only 163 pounds. Roseben likes the Belmont Park track, ond it. was was there that he made his sprint record. If those two great sprinters were to come together in a match race li would excite much interest among horsemen. Both horses have a host of admirers, and a match race would settle once and for all the question of supremacy be- tween then, ‘ Sept.

EASTERN COLLEGE FOOTBALL — BEGINS ON NEXT SATURDAY

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—With the foot- ball candidates of Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania ordered tv report for practice and two games scheduled for Saturday, the pigskin wil! be booted good and plenty from now on until it is covered with snow. Capt Bigelow will size up his squad on Yale Ficid this afternoon.and the ball on the gand at Cape May Point, return to Fraak'in Field tomorrow, and perhaps in better condition to start than any others. there will be a run around the field for the whole squad. The Indians are further along in their work. In fact, Glen Warner has planned a scrimmage for every day this week, and’ Saturday’s will be a real one witt. Albright at Carlisle, Bucknell will face Mansfield at Lewisburg there; WI!liston will go to Williamstown to play .Wil- Hams and Baltimore will Journey to Get- tysburg.

This Afternoon at Handlan’s Park; Regulars Report.

St. Louis U. is the first university of this sectou to get down to actual foot- ball work. This afternoon Cochems will have a squad of over twenty men at Handlan’s Park answering to the first call of the season. All of last year’s regulars with the exception of Irwin and French, who will not be in the game this year, and Howe, Clancy and Kenny, the three Milwaukee boys who have not arrived in town as yet, will be on hand for the opening practice and Cochems could actually run through signal practice the first day without a bit of trouble. The work for the first week or more will be very light and consist for the greater part in the handling of the ball. Throwing, catching and picking up the ball from different positions wil] be drilled into the men continuously. ‘“‘For- merly,’’ said Cochems, ‘“‘the one cry when a fumble was made was ‘Drop on the ball,’ but with the new game this has given way to ‘Pick up the ball.’ Of course, in a scrimmage or when sur- rounded by a score of men, the play is to cover and retain the ball at all ex- pense. But when more or less in the open and with a fair chance for a gain it is best, I think, for the man to pick up the ball and attempt to advance it.”’ The field at Handlan’s Park is not all that could be desired for a team to work on, but at that, is not so very bad, and should answer the purpose of an early training ground measurably well. Commercially considered, it is better to be a runner up at the 4ail end of the season and then lose than it is to win the pennant in June.

Inaugural Practice of the Season — Trainer Wellman informs us that he has thrown his airship out of training, but expects to have it ready for the Suburban. Make a note of it and nail the opening quotation in the future books. There is a hitch in the arrangements for a match race between Salvator and The Bear, winner of the Kansas Derby. The Topeka sports, than whom there are no wider awake in the world, think that Salvator is a ringer. an has concluded to make the pole a heat race. Mr. We his dash t It cost $600 to demonstrate that there is a difference of 3 cents between 15 cents’ worth and 18 cents worth of gas- oline. And yet they call it an economy test. ' If Sir Thomas Lipton keeps en coming, his Shamrock will yet attain as many petals as a cauliflower. Richard Croker has made a few nom- inations to the Derby to be run three years hence, but we are afraid they will be framed up for him by that time. Mr. Corrigan does not figure in the jurisprudence of the New Orleans lay- out, but that is merely because he hag grown tired of seeing his name in the papers. Not gloating or anything, but our British cousins seem to have got to that stage where they ,have to stand and take It. The lady jockey at Wheaton on Fri- day was credited with making “a reg- ular Tod Sloan finish." Just about that time the real Tod Sloan was in the Police Court in New York trying to square his friend and patron, Wilson Mizner—you remember Mizgner—who had any given subject for any length of time. ; eer

ERS WW AN EAST SIDE. NET'y Forty-Four Went Over the River to Celebrate and Had $3.63 Between Them,

Most of the forty-four lid-lifters whose total cash bank-roll amounted to §$3.63, and who were arrested Sunday in East St. Louls as a result of Chief Purdy’s “clean-up order, were fined various amounts Monday. Most of the victims of the drag-net Were residents of St. Louis and said ‘they had come to East St. Louis to spend Sunday. When arrested they were found singly and in bunches in alleys, rear yards of saloons, and a large crowd had collected under the Broadway viaduct. The seating capac- ity of the ground and woodwork of the viaduct was all occupied, and lid-lift- ing by the back door route was in full sway when the police surrounded the place and took possession. At a saloon at Third street and Broad- way She visitors have congregated and annoyed pevestrians, the police say. This place is a favorite haunt of negroes and whites who are tempted by the sale of a large glass of whiskey for a nickel. At this corner 24 were arrested during the day. TWO HUNDRED WOMEN 10 BE EJECTED FROM THE VALLEY Mayor Cook Orders East St. Louis Police Chief to Close Ob- jectionable Houses. “ Two hundred women in 30 houses in what is known as ‘The Valley” in East St. Louis were warned by the Chief of Police Monday to move out of the city before Tuesday morning or they would be locked up. This was the result of an order issued to the Chief at noon by Mayor Cook. The Chief at once called in his special officers and ordered them to notify every Woman in that district to go away be- fore. morning. Hight months ago the authorities of East St. Louis tried the experiment of segregating these places in one district near Second and Third streets and St. Louis avenue. This has caused a great row and Mayor Cook decided to rid the city of the objectionable places.

~ WHEAT NERVOUS, CLOSED GER Values Sagged From Full Advances Late in the Day— Cables Higher. BAD WEATHER NORTHWEST Coarse Grains Easier—Cash De- mand for Wheat Firm—World’s Shipments Small. Local wheat was active and nervous Monday, sensitive to any large orlers on either side, and at the close prices were %c to %c higher for the day. Liverpool cables closed unchanged to %d higher on spot wheat and %d to %d higher on the futures. Paris closed %c to %c lower on wheat and 6c lower to lc higher on flour. wccriin wheat %c higher, and Budapest wheat %c higher. World's shipments of wheat were 808,- 000 bu, against 11,...,000 bu last week, and 10,352,000 bu last year. The amount of wheat and flour on ocean passage is reported at 28,616,a0 bu, against 30,- 132,000 bu last week, and 29,432,000 bu a year ago. Advances at Minneapolis basel on the wet and cold wezther in our North- western States and the Canarian North- west and strength in Chicago caused by the large cash business there, small world’s shipments, foreign strength and indications of a sharp decrease in the visible supply, though the complete re- ports are not yet in, combined to strengthen the local market at the start, and a sharp advance was scored. The news from the Canadian North- west was very radical, cold, wet weath- er, and in many places snow, being re- ported, and a large quantity of wheat in Manitoba districts is still uncut, with very poor prospects of threshing in the near future. This is also doing great damage to the quality of the plant, which is already late, and the wet weather is also expected to seriously delay fall ploughing. Early offerings were light, and prices advanced about 1%c over Saturday's close, resting easy at the higher levels for awhile. There were many export bids, but they were out of line, though the enor- mous amount of American wheat re- cently sold to the Continent is expect- ed to swell the clearances for several months. Many traders took advantage of today’s advance to realize profits on long wheat, and many of the traders were of the opinion that while the day’s news was undoubtedly very bullish, a larger trade was needed to produce any radical advance, as the morning's buy- ings consisted mainly of short cover- ing. Shorts had covered pretty freely early in the session, and when the late selling met with a scant demand prices sagged steadily. Trading throughout the session was fairly active, but was almost entirely professional. The close was higher for the day. December wheat opened %c higher at 9%5%c, ad- vanced steadily to 94@%c, sagged to %lec, fluctuated nervously between %i%c and %%c, sagged to %%c, and closed at 95%c. May wheat opened %c higher at 102%c, advanced to 103%c, sold as high as 103%c, was offered down to 102%c, and closed at 102%c bid. There was a good cash demand for wheat, the market active, and prices firm. Total receipts of wheat at all Western primary markets were 1,200,000 bu, against 1,295,885 bu last year, and shipments were 778,000 bu, against 1,040,- 000 last year. Local receipts were 145,- 067 bu, against 119,575 bu last year, and shipments were 61,910 bu. jevhts8-uf-irouisee,ffLsfshrdlu oin There was some fair buving of corn at times, but the tone, the improved crop prospects being the feature, was easier. Advices from Iowa state that the plant is in good condition and that, berring the possibility of early frost, the Fanta will not show as large a decrease rom last year as was expected, and that the present weather does not indi- vate frost in the near future. There were reports of soft, inferior corn be- irg received from several sections, how- ever. Cables on corn closed ‘4d ‘lower. World's shipments of corn were 3,534,000 bu, against 3,145,000 bu last week and 3,086,000 bu a year ago. Prices opened easier, recovered to Saturday’s closing figures and again sagged, closing %@%%¢c lower for the day. Cash corn was in slow demand and prices were easier. Primary receipts a corn were 1,079,000 bu, against 682,760 bu last year, and shipments were 496,000 Lu, against 50,800 bu last yeur. Local receipts were 192,515 bu, against 105,600 a last year and shipments were 85,915 u. Oats were dull, Few sales were made, the interest in the market being light and the tone, due to some scattered liquidation, was easier. There were practically no features and the close was %c to Xe lower for the day. The cash demand for oats was slow and prices easier. Primary receipts of oats were 1,411,000 bu, against 798,980 bu last year and shipments were 519,000 bu, ngainst 437,000 bu last year. Local re- ceipts of oats were 275,170 bu, against 182,400 bu last year and shipments were 81,996 bu Minneapolis stocks decreased 325,000 bu for two days.

LOCAL STOCKS FRM DULL Line of Inquiry Is Good, but Trans- actions Are Very Light. Aside from a fair line of inquiry put out by the brokers, which Zairly covered the list, the Monday forenoon session of the stock exchange was without spe- cial feature. The extreme dullness in transaction is taken to indicate a purpose on the part ef both the investing and speculative elements to await the recovery of the low and unsatisfactory stock market prices now ruling in New York. The generally active stocks in the St. T.ouls market were fairly firm in the 1n- quiry made for them, there being no changes in the bank «st and very slight fluctuation in the bond quotations.

Any-. CLEVELAND MAY EAT 100 MUCh Otherwise He Says the -Ex- President Is in No Dan- ger of Dying.

HAS ACUTE. DYSPEPSIA :

Famous Statesman Is 70 Years Old; He Walks. and Drives Daily.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. 16.—Grover Cleveland, the only living ex-President of the United States, is a sick man, but he is not as near unto death’s door 4s reports have pictured him. He walks and drives every fair day, and looks forward to the winter season when he may go to the Carolinas to shoot ducks. When a reporter for the Post-Dispatch went to see him in his home this morn- ing, he was taking a drive through the college grounds and out east of the town, accompanied by a trained nurse. When he returned he stepped from the carriage without any undue effort, ap- parently, and walked up the steps to the front veranda as briskly as would a man 10 years his junior. “Mr. Cleveland, it. has been reported that your health is net good, and I have been sent to ask you how you are feeling,” said the reporter. “Here Iam. You can sée how I feel,” he replied, a faint smile coming over his face. “Is it true, Mr. Cleveland, that you have decided to give up your duties with the insurance companies and not return to your New York offices?’ Not to Give Up His Work. “It is not.” This was with emphasis and without a smile. To one who had not seen the famous statesman for several years he seemed to have aged greatly. His hair and mus- tache are grayer, he is not so heavy by twenty or thirty pounds, his face is much thinner, and the flesh on his un- der jaw and throat, once so full and firm, now hangs in folds and is some- what shrunken. But Grover Cleveland is 70 years old and his physician has declared that, even with his perfect health, he might be expected to show signs of advancing age. He has led an active life and be- lieves in satisfying a usually hearty appetite. Dr. John Carnochan of Princeton keeps close watch on his distinguished patient. When seen today the physi- cian refused to discuss Mr. Cleveland's condition. The Post-Dispatch reporter learned, however, on the very highest authority that it is this tendency to be hearty in his eating which most alarms Dr. Carnochan, the nurse and Mrs. Cleveland. The ex-President has suffered at in- tervals from acute dyspepsia and it is known that a majority of these attacks have been caused by his disregarding his physician’s directions as to diet. A discouraging feature of the trouble is that each succeeding attack is more violent than the one preceding it and the effect on the system of a man 70 years old is severe. Feared He Will Eat Teo Much. Indeed, it is generally accepted that = Carnochan fears Mr. Cleveland, who s just now said to be a most obedient ahaa will make bold to eat some- thing indigestible some day when neith- ec he nor his traineu nurse is at hand to prescribe, and thereby bring on an- other sudden attack, which may prove the last. But the head nurse declared emphat- ically to the reporter that acute dys- pepsia is Mr. Cleveland’s only serious complaint and that, with it under con- trol, there is no reason why he should not live many years yet. She says there is no kidney complaint or other or- ganic trouble. Mr. Cleveland has been a sufferer for many years from gout in one foot, but this does not impair his general health, and the nurse sald it was not to be considered in estimating his physical condition. *“‘How do you regard the health of Mr. Cleveland today as compared with what it was a year ago?’ asked the reporter. “I consider it much better. But, of course, he is 70 years old.” his summer home at Tamworth is “elghi miles from civilization.” as a friend = it yesterday, and it would have n difficult to summon proper medical attention on short notice. His Children at Tamworth, The Cleveland children are at Tam- worth, and Mrs. Cleveland has visited them three times within the past nent. She went to Tamworth two weeks ag to be with her eldest daughter Miss Esther, on her birthday, Sept $ and will return with all the’ children next week.

| GIRL STENOGRAPHER RUNS AWAY

Mrs. Mary Moser of. 3859 Kosciusko street, who reported to the police the disappearance of her 18-year-o!d daugh- ter, Clara Schorner, says that she has received a letter from the girl saying that she had “‘run away with the man she loves” and that she would return this week. Mrs. Moser refuses to tell where the girl is. Miss Schorner has been em- ployed by the Simmons Hardware Co. as a stenographer.

Copying the Anderson Way in New York. . Walter A. Flansburg, treasurer of the Killip Laundering Co. of Albany, N. Y., bas written to J. Arthur Anéerson for printed matter and an illustration of his way of sending out shirts in sealed packages. As Albany has always been noted for its fine laundries, this is quite a feather in Mr. Anderson’s cap. Some of Mr. kiansburg’s Albany friends were in St. Louis not. long ago and had their laundering done at the Anderson laun- dry. They have talked about it ever since and caused the inquiries to be made. Wealthy St. Louis men who for years sent their shirts to New York to be laundered because they were afraid to trust garments costing from $6 to $10 to home laundries are now advised by the firms that make them to have them laundered by Mr. Anderson. MOTOR BOATS 10 RACE TO PRESIDENT AS a feature, of the President's visit to St. Louis in October the St. Louis Power Boat Association is planning to have a letter carried by relay on swift- speed boats from Mayor Busse of Chica- go to the President at St. Louis. The plan was made by the backers of the Deep Waterway. It is expected that the 300-mile trip will be made in 20 hours. Three clubs will have charge of the carrying of the letter. They are the IIli- nois Athletic Club of Chicago, the IIli- nois Valley Yacht Club of Peoria and the St. Louis Power Boat Association. The last lap of the relay will be run by the “Kitty,” owned by C. F. Sparks of Alton. Mr. Sparks will deliver the letter to the President at St. Louis. The “Kitty” has qualified as the fast- est boat in the association. She can run 20 miles an hour in still water. The trip will be run in the night be- cause of the necessity of delivering the letter to President Roosevelt early in the morning.
