UAGLARS GOT (0 AND JEWELS Arsenal Street Home Is Robbed of More Than $1000 in Cash and Gems.

~~ Joseph Nalik reported to the police Monday that burglars took $870 in cash and jewelry valued at $200 from his home at 2612 Arsenal street, second floor, early Sunday, while the family slept. The money and jewelry were stolen from a safe, and the loss was not discovered until a member of the family went to the safe to get some articles of jewelry for Sunday wear. The safe stood in a closet of the front room. The house was entered, it is be- lieved, with a skeleton key. The stolen articles were two diamond rings, three watches, a (iiamond stud and earrings. The first floor of the house is occupied by a pool parlor. Several youths have been arrested on suspicion by the police of the Wyoming Street Station.

The question whether it is the duty of a policeman to sample a fresh country egg when requested by a cit- izen to do so, even though the egg perchance happens to be in a glass of sherry, will be decided Friday by the Board of Police Commissioners when the case of Patrolman Samuel R. Urmey of the Magnolia Avenue District is heard. Urmey is charged with entering the Saloon at 8300 Chouteau avenue for other purposes than the discharge of police duty. Chief of Detectives Smith preferred the charge. In his report Urmey states that he was passing the saloon in question when the proprietor called him and asked him to sample some fresh coun- try eggs.

| Andrew Pflumm Passes Away Believing in “Magic” Words of J. Rossman.

DOCTOR NOT CALLED Patient Refused Medical At- tendance and Sisters Are Broken-Hearted.

The Coroner will inquire into the death of Andrew Pflumm of 1520 Mallinckrodt Street Sunday without medical care. For five months Phumm was dying of some disease, but a physician wag not Called. He was treated by J. Rossman of 2707 Cass avenue, who calls himself a “divine Healer.”’” Rossman guaranteed that he would cure Pflumm in ten weeks and Pflunim, who was only 19 years old, had such faith in him that he refused to consult a doctor, even when his sisters urged him to do so. The grief of the family is made more intense now by the belief that if a-doc- tor had been cailed in the young man’s iife might have been saved. Had “Voodoo” Treatnient. It was a sort of voodoo treatment that was given by Rossman. Pflumm’'s sisters had a shallow giass dish, like a saucer. They would dip a toothpick im honey and write with it upon the inside of the dish some words given by Ross- man. Then Pflumm would read the writing, he would pour hot water or coffee into the dish, dissolve the writing and drink it. . Cine of these ‘“‘sacred’”’ writings, in the handwriting of Rossman is in possession of the family and will be used as eyvi- dence against him. It reads: “‘Heal me, God, then I will get healed. Help me and you will get helped. Then you are mine. Rest.” This was written in honey and drunk by Pflumm three times a day. And for such treatment as this Pflumm and his sisters paid Rossmcn $3 a week for five months. The sign in front of Rossman’s house has upon it: ‘‘Prof. J. Rossman, clair- voyant, trance medium, magnetic heal- er.”’ . , Rossman admitted Monday that he had no license to practice medicine. Does Not Practice. “IT don’t practice medicine,’’ he said. “I am a divine healer. I cure by the laying. on of hands and by prayer. I did treat young Pflumm, but I did not guarantee a cure. I gave him words of divine inspiration to be written in hon- ey and drunk while hot. I have been told he died. Well, he must have lacked faith. He would not have died if his faith had been strong enough. I have cured many by the same treatment. I am treating many patients now by the same method.”’ Patient Had Faith. Pfumm’'s sisters say that their brother would not have a doctor, that he be- lieved implicitly in Rossman, and even upon his deathbed he threatened to get up and leave the house if a doctor was called in. The Coroner will hold an inquest Tues- day forenoon. Rossman will be a wit- ness and will be forced to tell about his tipatment of Pflumm. It is against the law to practice medicine in Missouri without a license and in this State men and women havé been prosecuted for permitting persons to die without med!- cal treatment when such treatment was needed.

FREE FINDS AGAINST DYER OR $297,363 Mrs. Muschaney Wins Point in Litigation Over Mc- _ Ilvane Estate.

Judgment against Charles D. Dyer for $297,368 was recommended in the Circuit Court Monday by O'Neill Ryan, court referee. Mr. Dyer is trustee under the will of Orville D. Mcllvane, who died in ...., leaving a large estate. Mrs. John D. Muschaney, a daughter of Mr. Mc- Ilvane, and her children, were benefic- iaries under the will of MclIlivane. The will directed that the estate should be put into the hands of a trustee to manage for their benefit. Mr. Dyer was appointed trustee in 1885. Some months ago Mrs. Muschaney and her children began proceedings in the Circult Court complaining of Dyer’s man- agement of the estate, and asking that judginent be rendered against him and that he be removed from the position of trustee. Judgment Is Recommended. Judge Ryan was appointed a referee the court to look into the matter in April and he made his report Monday to Judge McDonald. The finding of the referee is that Dyer ras handled the moneys of the estate as though they were his own and has mingled them with his personal accounts and with the accounts of his firm, thus swelling those accounts. The referee finds that there {s $297,368 in income from the estate which should have been paid to the heirs, but which is unpaid, and recommends that judgment for that amount be rendered against Dyer.

}jof 210 D atreet, i they OUR FAMISHED MEN DRIFT FOR HUURS IN BOAT William E. Georgia and Pariy ., Are Stranded on Levee Near Alton.

Twelve hours on the Mississippi River in a gasoline launch without food or drink, part of the time fighting their way through underbrush to get within shouting distance of a gasoline tank, and part of the time drifting helpless- ly downstream without either power or rudder, these were features of the Sun- day adventure of William E. Georgla and three companions. They had start- ed for Clifton Terrace in the ‘Ben Hur.”” The boat had behaved wel] on the Northern Lakes, but went wrong in the strong river current. Mr. Georgia and his companions were rescued sometime after midnight from a dyke on the Missouri shore opposite Alton. The rudder of the boat broke two miles north of Alton, and the boat drifted downstream. By strategy, Mr. Georgia succeeded in throwing the launch behind the dyke, and the eddy carried it to the Missouri banks. Shout Loudly for Help. As the boat floated down the river, Mr. Georgia and his three fellow sallors shouted loudly for help. A light-sleeping engineer heard their cries and he aroused Capt. W. D. Fluent, who crossed the river in his trusty boat, the Cash, and towed the disabled boat and her shivering crew into the ...ton harbor. Mr. Georgia, who is one of the most enthusiastic followers of yachting in St. Louis, started for his summer home in Clifton Terrace at noon Sunday. The Ben Hur, a boat which he bought a short time ago, had been used in White Lake and was thought to be perfectly sound. Eddie Trask, Frank Eichler and Dan Fisher, clerks in Mr. Georgia's fur- niture store, were his companions. The boat behaved so badly that all its gasoline was consumed, while Al- ton was yet two miles to the north. Mr. Georgia and one of the boys, got out on the Missouri side and made a pathway through the dense under- brush to a point opposite Alton. They were able to make the Alton- ites understand that they wanted gasoline, and procured 10 gallons and went back to the boat. It was not until after 10 o’clock when the hun- gry crowd got to Alton, but as the boat was running smoothly by that time they thought they could get to Clifton Terrace in a short time. Next the rudder broke, and the boat was helpless in midstream. It was in constant danger of being wrecked, as it floated with the current, and the entire crowd felt relieved when it drifted behind the dyke.

ee Toe, “COCKTAIL TI Tht BAR TRIAL BEGINS - Every “Souse”’ Expert in the Country Must Serve on the Jury. CHERRY CO-DEFENDANT On the Verdict May Depend Fairbanks’ Chances for Presidency. Hy Leused Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The fate of the Manhattan cocktail trembles in the balance. After a sensational trial lasting nearly féur months, during which tons of evidence was adduced by both sides, it has semi-officially been found guilty of a base conspiracy against Vice-Presi- dent Fairbanks. Had the Methodist conference of Co- lumbus, Ind., on Friday been magnani- mous enough to overlook the unfortu- nate cocktail incident and send Vice- President Fairbanks to the church con- next spring the giaesman from the banks of the Wa- bash stood a chance of removing that clave at Baltimore cumbersome four letters and a hyphen from in front of the word President. Throughout the contest the battle which the Vice-President has fought against odds has been watched closely, since the opening gun was fired at the Fairbanks home in Indianapolis on Me- morial day. In the future it won’t be necessary to mark ‘“‘May 30” in red ink ‘on the Fairbanks calendar. He is not ikely to forget it. Forty cherry pits found in the Fairbanks backyard by a town gossip started the rumpus which is destined to send the second officer of the nation into retirement. Depends Upon the Number. WASHINGTON, Sept. . 3.—Whether the cocktail can longer be regarded as an exhilarant depends entirely upon how many one has had. No one even suspects that Vice-President Fairbanks has ever reached that blissful state. An olive would have made the Fair- ‘banks cocktail all right. The mere fact that Fairbanks tolerated a cherry shows that he is nota tippler. A_ tippler would have known better. Views of a Distiller. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 30.—The Fairbanks cocktail must have been ex- hilarating since it is adding to the gay- ety of nations. Had it held in sub- mergence the salubrious olive instead of the gaudy genus prunus, that fruit of the emblem of peace might have averted the clerical cataclysm of Colum- bus, Ind. If it could be definitely as- certained that cherry was an imported article, Vice-President Fairbanks might appeal his case to The Hague Confer- ence. Secretary Taft's Kentucky julep being made from the straight Bourbon of the Bluegrass and holding only mint and ice in flotation offered no such com- Plex pschological problem as the Fair- banks compound. For this reason Sec- retary Taft is on his way around the world, while Vice-President Fairbanks is still trying to get around that cock- tail. Opie Reed Blames Cherries, CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—‘I belfeve the temperance people of Indiana made a mistake in defeating Vice-President Fairbanks as delegate to their conven- tion because of the cocktail incident in Ohio,’ said Opie Read. “The cocktail is not regarded by experts as an exhil- arant. I know one who, after drinking real intoxicants got sober on cocktails. The cherry is a lure and a snare. I am convinced that whatever exhilaration comes from the cocktail is due to the cherry. If an olive had been used, the whole concoction could have been put down under the head of relishes. The fact that a bottle of Maraschino cherries ENG fontains five drunks was proved by _‘Brof. Jones of the University of Chica- go.” A Rad Lands View, COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 30.—‘‘Cocktaiis are still popular, but as morning and evening drinks, with the patrons of my place,” said “Smokey Hobbs,"’ proprie- tor of a well-known Bad Lands cafe, when asked as to the intoxicating ef- fects of the drink. “I judge from this," gaid he, “‘that its effects are desirable. _ Oh, there are cocktails and cocktails, but they are essentially the same. Whether it is a cherry or a berry that se in it is a mere matter of taste. Thisky is the essential thing.” - Southern Wit Absolwes Fairbanks. ~ ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 30.—The follow- “tug is the expression of Gordon Noel Hartel, probably the best-known hu- _morous writer in Georgia: ¥ “Down here in Georgia, where the ayer 198 looms up dry, cocktailless and @herryless, the Fairbanks incident is al- “Most too serious for anything like an wnbiased expression. _ “A cocktail has always been used as ‘B® whetter and it has never been regara- i as an exhilarant at any well-regu- dated spreads. The olive is also a whet- _ ter, but if it had been used by Mr. alrbanks instead of the other more te fruit, the President would = have been near so cheery or cheer- fu and would never have spoken so | eerily. “The olive branch is a good thing to Wave at so pugnacious a person as Ted- Gy, but when there is an anti-liquor wave on deck it is better than any cherry branch, although i should come from a presidential and historical tree. The cocktall has never been considered an intoxicant in the true sense of the THE CARNIVAL DRAMA LL St. Louis stage offerings of A Festival Week, with the ex- ception of “Martha,” which opens at the Odeon tonight, and the new bill at the Columbia, which will be put on this afternoon, began their engagements yester- day. Crowded houses prevailed. George M. Cohan musical com- edy holds the boards at the Olym- pic. Native drama, with contrast- ing touches of pathos and humor, is the Century’s attraction. Fan- tastic spectacular reigns at the Graud. The Garrick presents ad- vanced vaudeville. Melodrama has the right of way at the Imperial and Havlin’s, and burlesque and extravaganza at the Standard and Gayety. N audience that filled the Olympic A to the doors last night applauded “Forty-five Minutes From Broad- way” until this second season ovation wis almost a continuous performance of hand-clapping—laughing, also, until tears stood in its eyes. This alarmed me—for myself, I mean, because “Forty-five Minutes From Broadway’ wearies me _ inexpressi) a and yet | have always bowed my heu: to the play-going public as the critical court of last resort and have accepted its verdict as not only final, but just. It the court that decides whether or not a play shall live or die, and there is no appeal from its decision. And it is entirely without prejudice—it pays its owh good money to see the play and absolute honesty of conviction dictates its ruling. Nothing delights me more than to find myself in thorough accord with this public. I know that even Great Shaks- peare survives upon our stage only be- cause the people like his plays—not be- cause critics laud them and declare that they meet the requirements of dramatic art. All the critics that ever wrote couldn't save Shakspeare if the public didn’t like him. Nor could, they damn him effectively with the public liking him—and the conditions that prevail in this illustrious instance prevai] straight down the line to the obscurest jester that ever saw his work set upon the vaudeville boards. The voice of the people is the voice of the law—and wisely so. Yet, in telling you frankly that ‘‘For- ty-five Minutes From Broadway” bores me to my very soul, I plead that it isn’t because I am incapable of relishing nonsense. I can enjoy it as keenly as any person I ever knew, but it must impress me as being bright nonsense. If it doesn’t, why, then, I must say so, because that’s what I’m paid to do, and my service becomes absolutely without value just the moment I say I like a play when I don’t, or I don’t like it when I do. This is why I take issue now with the verdict of approval rendered by the peo- ple In favor of '“BPorty-Five Minutes rom Broadway.’ To me its fun ap- pears forced and artificial. Its star role of Just Plain Mary is flabby with fatty degeneration of the sense of humor. Its leading-comedian role of ‘‘Kid’’ Burns is that of a soubrette in breeches, de- spite its four-card bluff at being Broadway-Bowery ‘“sport’”’ and master of slang. Its other people are exag- gerated lay-figures of the most conven- tional ‘‘fun-making’’ pattern, in two instances the ravages of disease being utilized to produce ‘‘comedy’’ in phys- ical aspect. Its story is a carelessly thrown-together mingling of melodrama and musical comedy, and, in the second act, there's an amazing series of repeti- tions of one incident—the indignant flight of the mother and daughter Dean from the Tom Bennett dinner—that should really be done to the accompani- ment of “the tune the old cow died on."’ This, remember, is the way the thing strikes me—I seem to be alone in receiv- ing such an impression, judging from the popular reception of this George M. Cohan play. And T record my individual impression in humility of spirit, not with fatuous complacency that, for once, I cannot like a play the people like. The critic who sets himself above the people in judgments critical is a good deal of an ass. is a Carus doesn’t score quite as effectively in the part of Mary as did lay Templeton, who created it, but last night's house liked her very well indeed. Scott Welsh also won favor as “Kid’’ Burns, but he won't become a star from his playing of the part as has Victor Moore. The company ir in genera! is sat- Emma isfactory. The best thing in last night's performance was Emma Carus’ singing of “Mary Is a Grand Old Name.” “Mrs, Wiggs” Pleases at the Century. A new “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch’ was seen at the Century last night. This applies to the production as well as to Blanche Chapman, who had the title role, for many of the important characters were in the hands of actors new to those who had seen the play be- fore. The new ‘‘Mrs. Wiggs’’—and this applies to the actress and to the produc- tion—pleased immensely. Miss Chapman is remembered as a former popular comic opera singer heard at Uhrig’s Cave and later at Del- mar Garden. So one would be justified in assuming that she would be more ef- fective in the humorous situations than in the emotional scenes. But this did not prove to be the case. While satis- factory in delivering the quaint philoso- phy of the good-hearted Irish woman, Miss Chapman was much more satisfac- tory when the lines called for the dis- play of sentiment and emotion. The play owes its popularity largely to the characters, and, therefore, much de- pends on the a¢tors and actresses. Vivia Ogden was funny te some as Mis’ Hazy and to others she was pathetic. Charles Carter as Mr. Stubbins was excellent and J. W. Smiley got all there was in the unthankful role of Mr. Wiggs. A current magazine tells of a farmer who looked for 10 minutes at the first camel he had ever seen and then fre- marked: “‘Thunder! There ain't no sich beast.”” This idea occurred to many last night who saw Helen Raymond as Mrs. Eichorn. There never was and nev- er will be such a woman. But she was undeniably funny, especially when she turned loose her fog-horn vote. Her back was eloquent and her iil-fitting dress spoke volumes. Hanlon's “Superba” at Grand, A new edition of Hanlon’s “‘Superba’”’ began its week at the Grand with after- noon and evening performances yester- day, apparently. giving much entertain- ment to its audiences. Fresh tricks, elec- tric and scenic effects and specialty fea- tures, together with a book entirely rewritten, serve the purpose of revamp- ing the familiar old pantomimic specta- cle into attractive shape. Fred Hanlon the clown, has as many comical adventures and misad- ventures as ever, and the novelties of the Giant Candles, the Wonderful Sword, the -Scotchman and the Frisky Whisky Bottle are well up to the Han- lon standard established in past sea- Sons. newly as Coco, Garrick's New Bill. Two capacity audiences filled the CGar- rick Sunday at the opening perform- ances of the carnival week bill. Stand- ing room was all sold before the first curtain at the evening performance and a big crowd was turned away. The dill, as a whole, is well up to the standard of “advanced”’ vaudeville that has made the Garrick a prime favorite so far this season. Hardeen, the “handcuff king,’’ made his second appearance of the season and maintained the role of topliner of the bill. Thursday night he will accept the Challenge of another local department store and attempt to get out of a secure packing case, as he did at his former appearance, Daly’s Country Choir another big feature of the bill. The quartette sings admirably, its capable selections ranging from “Annie Laurie’ to a medley of popular airs. Lew Sully, s? is back in a black-face role once more, is a whole show all by his humorous self. ii | i li aN well worth while and he proved himself still a sure winner. Vinie Daly, in her ballet and toe dancing, is good, though she can’t sing very much. But she’s pretty and can surely make her feet fly. James Harrigan, the eccentric tramp juggler, is as good as he is comical. His monologue on married life is rich. The little trick dog, ‘Folly,’ probably the smartest dancing dog ever seen, keps the frost off the first act—that of the acrobatic Labakans. The Hawthorne and Burt act, the second on the bill, is anything but “advanced” vaudeville. The Glinseretti troupe of acrobats and the biograph pictures of the police dogs of Paris on the trail of a murderer com- plete the performance. hes j oung Buffalo” at the Imperial. “Young Buffalo, King of the Wild West,” again “gun-played”’ himself into local favor yesterday afternoon and evening, beginning a week's engagement at the Imperial. The Play of which Young Buffalo is the chapparero’d hero is a thrilling frontier melodrama, vivid in incident and compellingly colorful, and a ,band of real Indians success- fully do their aboriginal best to “help some.”’ These same Indians will voice a gutteral “‘How!” to the playgoing public at a reception on the stage follow- ing’ next Saturday’s matinee perform- ance, Young Buffalo being the central figure of the function. + Royal Gamblers at Havlin's. The melodramatic. stage has had queens and kings of gamblers separate- lv in the past, but now it has “The King and Queen of Gamblers” in con- junction, the play of this title beginning a week’s engagement at Havylin's with yesterday’s matinee and evening per- formances. Severin de-Deyn plays the star role of Jack Diamond with a. ro- coco effectiveness befitting his extraor- dinary name, and the production is full of exciting situations and blood-quick- ening climaxes. The supporting com- pany adequately meets the play's re- quirements. New Bill at Columbia. Ethel Levey, in new songs with novel dancing features, “and Julius Steger and company in a playlet entitled, ‘“‘The Fifth Commandment” (‘‘Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother’’), are the top- liners of the new Columbia bill, begin- ning this-afternoon. Other features are Frank and Jennie Latona,in new songs and jests; the Two Lorettos, European comic and eccentric artists; the Quaker City Quartet, Miss Alba, cannon-hall juggler; Stinson and Merton, in “A Bunch of Nonsense’; James Cullen, par- odist, and the new moving pictures. Lady Birds Burlesquers at Standard. Alf. G. Herrington’s Lady Birds Bur- lesquers began their week at the Stand- ard with Sunday’s matinee. They pre- sent a two-act musical burlesque enti- tled “The Isle of Samoa,’’ and an enter. taining vaudeville bill introducing a , er of clever people. Lid Lifters Co, at Gayety. The Lid Lifters Company opened the week at the Gayety yesterday after- noon. The entertainment comprises two laughable burlesques and an olio of much variety, introducing a good array of specialty artists in amusing and at- tractive acts. “Martha” at Odeon. The Joseph F. Sheehan Opera Com- pany will present Von Flotow’s ‘‘Mar- tha’’ at the Odeon, beginning its week His songs and jokes areance, | this evening. Mr. Sheehan Sings the role of Lionel at the opening perform- supported by a shred Rta cast. = PAISTS H AS CONCEAL IDENTITY HUM BROTHER Father Poland So Disfigured Father Sullivan Did Not Recognize Him. PINNED UNDER CAR Second Professor Offered the Injured One Solace at Prayer. abe Agqter being pinioned under the front end of a southbound Grand avenue car for 15 minutes, Rev. Father William Po- land, professor of philosophy of the St. Louis University, finally extricated him- self and crawled out. As Father Poland was crossing the street in front of the university to catch a northbound car he was struck by one going south: He was knocked down and rolled and dragged 100 feet. He will re- cover. The car was not equipped with a jack- screw or any lifting device and the in- jured priest, who was bleeding from dozens of cuts and abrasions, was so entangled in the fenders that no as- sistance could be given him. Helps Himsclif Out. While the crew of the car.was wait- ing for implements to jack it up, Father Poland recovered his strength and by a supreme effort released himself and crawled out. While Father Poland was held fast under the car Father Sullivan, a fellow professor in the university, arrived. ther Sullivan was not able to recognize his brother priest. Father Sullivan said to Father ‘“T am a Catholic priest. Is there any- thing I can do for you?’ At first there was no answer. Sullivan again spoke, ther Poland answered: ‘Ts it possible,’’ he asked, “that I am so badly disfigured you don’t know me?” Recognized by the Voice. Father Sullivan recognized the voice of his fellow teacher, and set to work with renewed energy to release him. Father Poland’s torn clothes were en- tangled in the fenders, but he summoned Father twist. The fetters broke, ond he was released. from being crushed to death under the; wheels. He fender for fully then dragged for 25 feet before the car was brought to a stop. Father Poland, who is 59 years was starting to Fourteenth and streets Sunday afternoon to deliver address.

Comer just before he left for St. Louis to attend the Wate:- ways Convention, at which he will be one of the leading speakers. The English of Gov. Comer is severely criticized by the Advertiser in a leading editorial. His recent letter to the mem- bers of the Legislature telling them that he will call an extra session is cited as gotten up without regard to grammar or proper constrtiction. Several other let- ters written by the Governor are dis- cussed and the paper bemoans the pos- session of an Executive who cannot write good English. When shown the criticism Gov.

Mayor Wells has expressed himself as against this policy of reprisal, but the action of Flynn, who is as close to the Mayor as is any other man in the City Hall, undoubtedly will be taken as a cue by the various appointive officials.

Removal of Railroad Cases to Federal Courts Will.Be _ Opposed. Assistant Attorney-General J. P. Lightfoot of Texas, in the principal ad- dress made at the opening session of the convention of attorneys-general at the Southern Hotel Monday morning, sub- mitted a number of recommendations as to changes in State and Federal laws designed to curb trusts and monopolies. lie recommended that every State adopt a statute providing for the impris- onment for from two to ten years of every officer, director or agent of a cor- poration convicted of having knowledge of any illegal transaction by the corpor- ation. Would Refuse Use of Malls. He recommended also legislation pro- viding that: Any trust or monopoly convicted of an unlawful act be thereafter forbidden the use of the United States mails. Any trust or monopoly dissolved by the courts be not permitted to reorgan- ize in some other form. Penalties against corporations for vio- lations of law be made from $2000 to $5000 for each day during the continu- ance of the illegal conduct. All contracts, agreements and under- standings to which a trust or monopoly is a party be null and void. Are Not Too Drastic, Mr. Lightfoot, commenting on his rec- ommendations, said he does not con- sider them too drastic. “Laws could not be made too drastic in prohibiting the doing of unlawful acts,’’ he said. Mr. Lightfoot specified a number of companies which he declared were trusts and monopolies and should be dissolved. The speaker declared that practically every industry in the country is affili- ated in some way with the trusts or monopolies, but that thousands of busi- ness men would welcome a change from their present alllances. Revolution Predicted. The Texas man further declared that the trusts are grinding down the poorer classes and that, unless they are curbed by law, this will lead to revolution. Mr. Lightfoot’s speech was liberally applauded. Attorney-General F. S. Jackson .- of Kansas was the next speaker. He agreed with Mr. Lightfoot on many points, but was not sure he could indorse a State- ment the former had made that each State should enjoin the operation of trusts and monopolies within its ter- ritory. He gaid he doubted if the Su- preme Court of Kansas co. . do this. Attorney-General Hadley of Missouri told a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday morning fhat the convention of attor- neys-general would in all probability take some action looking to a concerted defense by all the states which have adopted 2-cent fare laws against the ef- forts of the railroads to defeat these measures. Mr. Hadley further said that, In his opinion, the convention will decide to test the railroads’ right to take the case in any State, involving the the validity of a 2-cent fare law in that State, into the Federal courts by appealing at once to the United States Supreme Court.

It is an economic idea. The only questions involved are whether a ‘State has a right to make such a law and whether railroads can operate under its provisions without losing money. { Thinks Ralireads Bold. “I think it is a pretty bold thing for the railroads to attempt to op- pose the sentiments of the legisia- tures and people of 15 sovereign states who have declared in favor of the 2-cent fare plan.” The 2-cent fare law is, in a way, already in the Federal court in the Western District of Missourl.

The hearing in the case will be re- sumed Thursday. Meantime, the Gov- ernment representatives are going over such books as the Standard has placed at their disposal and otherwise pre- paring for a resumption of the case. The statement was made today that some new evidence regarding the Gov- ernment’s contention that the present company is really a reorganization of the old trust has been discovered. It had been believed that it would be nec- essary to call to the stand Henry M. Flagler, secretary of the oid Board of Liquidation trustees, to clear up the point, but it is said that such a course, in view of the new evidence, will not be pursued. Ferriss to Have Assistant, Another examiner, it is announced, will be appointed in a few days by the Missouri court to sit -with Examiner Ferriss in the taking of testimony against the New Jersey corporation. The duties ef this additional examiner will be to listen to testimony relating only to railroad rates on oil and re- hates, which are alleged to have been granted to the Standard during its fight against independent oii corporations. Two ‘examiners will sit together at every session of the hearings after the question of rates and rebates is taken up, as much of the testimony will nec- be fragmentary and evidence both the rate and trust questions will be placed upon the record the same PRESS.) day. To Last Several Weeks. The hearings here will probably last at two, and ‘possibly three, more weeks. Testimony will also be taken in Washington, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis. This shifting of base for the hearings is made necessary by the fact that the Government subpenas can only compel witnesses to travel one hundred miles to attend the hearings.

BURIAL OF GIRL SLAIN IN YARU Prosecutor ARES He Has Stari- ling Evidence in Case of Miss May Sapp. a,

—_— Coroner Takes Body From Kansas Undertaker for Examination.

CRIES FOR AID HEARD

Razor Found Near Body to Be -__ Used as Evidence in Inquiry.

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) MORAN, Kan., Sept. 30.—Burial serv- fees of Miss Caroline May Sapp, who was found with her throat cut in the yard of her own nome last Friday night, were peremptorily stopped yesterday by the County Prosecutor, who announced that he had received “startling inforima- tion.”’ A great throng had gathered for the funera!, und the attorney’s order Caused a sensation:* The Sheriff, Coro- ner and Prosecutor tooh charge of the girl's body, certain organs of which were removed by the Ceroner for inves- tigation. The girls father and the people of the community insist that the girl was mur- dered and that the razor found near by was left by the murderer. Marks of a man’s hand were found on her breast, it ia said. Miss Sapp was the daughter of a of Col. William Sapp, ex-Chairman of the Dem- In Good Spirits at Dinner. .At dinner the night of the tragedy the young woman chatted with her fa- ther and mother and appeared to be in the best of spirits. Later the father went down to the Postoffice for the mail and the mother busied herself about the house. The daughter stepped out in the back yard. It was about 7:50 o'clock. Bhe had been gone scarcely two min- utes, when her mother heard a scream of ‘Mother! Mother!” The mother rushed into the yard ani found her daughter lying in a pool of blood. Later in the night about ten feet from where the body lay was found a razor. blade. This puzzled the Coroner, who had arrived from Iola, and the theorists began to speculate upon the possibility of the murderer having had two ra- Murder Theory Strengthened. The Coroner says if the cuts had been have left blood upon the blade, but where the entire throat was cut, sever- ing all the veins, stains. would remain tapon the blade or the handle. The niur- der theory is given its greatest weight from the fact that the clothes of the young woman were torn and she had peen cut upon the hends, as if a strug- ‘gle had ensued. “ Until the Coroner arrived from Tola, the body lay in the yard, guarded by ‘friends of the family. With the Coro- ‘mer came the County Attorney. Blood- bounds were at once ordered and at 4 o’clock Saturday -morning. But there had been many were released they followed a trail in- to the house. This was not regarded as throwing any light upon the subject. Miss May was the only child who was lHving at home. She had two married sisters, but no brothers. The family ‘lived: in a large frame house of 12 rooms, the first house in the town. Mr. Sapp moved to Moran from his farm, three miles from here, about two years ago.

Head Coverings Exceed Other Articles in Size, Trimmings and Cost. The increasing cost of wearing ap- parel in the fall of this year, 1907, is the subject of deep concern to the women of St. Louis, who declare that the ad- vance in the cost of materials and the radical causes for the high-water price condi- | tion which exists and which adds 20 per | cent to a last year’s purchase price. changes in fashions are the From a spool of threau, with its l-cent advance to the price of an elaborate hat or gown, maintained.

Inferior in Quality. A suit which last year would have been $21 can be seen in any shop window marked $24 to $26, and then the mate- rial used in the making is inferior to thé grade formerly used. “Style,’’ the saleswomen say; ‘“‘you get so much better style this year than last; too.’”’ suits are trimmed so much more, The season has been called a “fussy” one on account of the varieties 9@f mate- rials, colors, trimmings and decora- tions which are utilized in the construc- tion of a single gown. styles are also raising a storm of “‘fuss’”’ from the women who have to part with The ‘“fussy’”’ their dollars as a consequence. Women’s salaries have nut increased in the proportion that the cost of dressing has increased and they are sufferers in consequence. With the additional) diffi- cilty in the cost of other living expenses, the problem of clothes is one which comes in for serious consideration. The complaint is, not confined clothes alone. “I bought some hemstitched linen tow- els for a dollar, a year ago,”’ a woman said, ‘“‘and last week I went to the Same store to buy some more of the Same kind and they are now $1.50.” “I have been buying some table nap- kins for $1.00," another woman who keeps house said, ‘and when I went to find the same grade of linen this fall, { made the discovery that the price has advanced to $1.25.”’ Calicoes which have sold for 5 cents a yard for years and years have as- to only at 7c a yard. Muslins at 10 cents have been advanced to 124¢c. On a bolt of 3 yards the increase would be the aifference between $5.50 and $6.50. Glove Prices Booming. One of the most distressing items of increased cost in buying a woman's out fit is the striking difference in the price ol gloves at the present time. The wom- an who pays only $1 for her gloves is in the minority. Short sleeves made long gloves a ne- cessity. The demand was se great that the supply was inadequate, with the re- sult that the prices have advanced and added a considerable item to the total of the sum a woman reqnires to provide the necessities of her costume. There is only a little change left for car-fare out of @ $5 bill after the in- dispensable long gloves are purchased. In articles of small value sometimes the price is maintained at the cost of the quantity or ‘quality. Fewer hair- pins in a box, two or three less rows of pins to the paper, poorer buttons than one could formerly buy for a certain price which the housewife considere'] as about her standard for these staple notions. These advances appear in- significant in themselves, but they in- exorably adhere to that same 20 per cent advance. Corset Wearers Feel Change. “I thought I was paying enough for a corset when I parted with $7,"" a busi- ness woman said, “but I am told that the model I have been accustomed to has been ‘improved’ and that it will cost me $10 now.” To add to the troubles which as- sail the woman of limited purse, shoes have advanced in price until it is almost impossible to get a suitable pair for less than $5, when formerly $3.50 was a sufficient outlay for shoes of good style and quality. “I still pay $3.50 for my shoes,” a young woman who Is particular about how her feet are shod said, ‘‘but I buy five pairs now where I used to only buy three pairs. “I have paid $17.50 for footwear against $10.50 in the past when the advance in prices was not the absorb- ing topic of conversation.” Hosiery Is

| Pittsburg attorneys, who represented thei ¢ | first Mrs. McKee, admit that they as- | sisted the French lawyer, but they re- | fuse to go into details. , The first Mrs. A. Hart McKee wasi | Miss Eliza Sutton, daughter of the late Dr. Sutton, a wealthy physician, and was acknowledged to be the most beau- ; tifil woman in Pittsburg. She was mar- | ried to McKee Nov. 21, 18/2, and the wéfiding was a great social event. On} Feb. 18, 1903, Mrs. McKee left Aer hus- band, and on July 1, 1904, she entered ; suit for divorce. On January 5, 190, the decree was granted, a full bench of three judges concurring. Mrs. McKee was awarded the cus- tody of her two children, the McKee summer home at Long Branch, worti $65,000, and $300,000 alimony. Immediate- ly after the decree was granted a: mes- senger employed by McKee paid the nec- essary charges which should have been paid by Mrs. Mchee, but which mad2 the divorce final. This messenger hur- ried to New York with a copy of the decree, and next day McKee married the beautiful Mrs. TeVis, who also now is about to sue for divorce. Evidence in Former Sulit. The testimony in the first Mrs. Mc- Kee’s divorce suit was taken before a master, but the following evidence of Mrs. McKee is transcribed on the court records, a copy of which has been pro- cured by the French attorneys: “After our wedding we went abroad, and my husband's neglect began soo: after we reached Europe, while we were on our honeymoon. Once, in Monte Carlo, in January, 1903, I became ill at the Hotel Metropole. A servant final- ly summoned a physician, and Mr Mc- Kee was not found until midnight. Dur- ing our trip abroad I saw Mr McKee but a few minutes each day. “When my second child was born Feb. 2, 1902, my husband had the doors between the room occupled by myself? and the nurse and his own room fre- moved. Then he placed mirrors in such a position that he could watch every movement made by the nurse as she attended myself and the baby. ‘Mr. McKee continually threatened to take my children away from me. He declared he would spend a million dol- lars to do so, by fair means or foul. When I begged him to be tolerant he said he would do as he —— pleased and that no man on God's earth could con- trol him. Once when I met him on the street and bowed he refused to recog- nize me. Once, too, he struck me on the arm, knocking a cup and saucer from my hand. He Called Her a Viper. ‘Mr. McKee did everything possible to humiliate me. He abused me in the pregence of other people and called me a cur, ‘swipe’ and a viper. He said his mother would break my neck. He threatened to make me cringe and shook his finger under my nose. He said he would make the house too hot for me and would make the place ring with re- ports of me. He kept two loaded re- volvers under his pillow all the time and once threw one of them across my body while I was lying in bed. Once, when I was in the‘bathroom and refused to unlock the door when he demanded that I should do so, he picked up a rocking chair and battered the door down. “Frequently he. breught other women to our home. When I remonstrated with him for doling such a terrible thing he told me that if I did not like it J could get out, and that the women would come and go as they wished. Frequently he threatened to take my jewels from me, and a few months be- fore our separation he cut off my per- allowance and household allow-

sonal ance.”’ Were Poorly Clothed. The only other witnesses were Dr. Sutton, her father, and Elizabeth Foster, Mrs. McKee’s maid. The maid told of having heard McKee declare that any man could keep Mrs. McKee for all he cared. Dr. Sutton testified that when his daughter returned home after her final separation from McKee neither she nor her children were properly clothed, and that they looked as though they had been starved. “If ane had not left McKce.”" Dr. Sut- ton testified, “It would have heen either the lunatic asylum or suicide for her.’ Dr. Sutton was In his daughter's house but once. The first Mra. McKee and her two

daughters—Virginia and Harriet, both In their teens—live quietly at Long Branch. from a dozen little gypsy throats.

Employes of the City Hospital and other city institutions will have to work Wednesday, Roosevelt day, just the | Same as any other day, and will have ino chance to see the President. They could stand all this, but what does net- tle them is that the holiday which the rest of the city gets will delay the monthly payday for the institutions from , Wednesday to Friday. The second day of the month is payday for the city in- stitutions, but as the City Treasurer's

‘office will observe Wednesday as a holi- day, it has been announced that pay- | ment will be deferred two days. Stretcher carriers, scrubwomen, watch- men and attendants at the hospital, of whom there are more than one hun- dred, heard the announcement Monday with dismay. One of the Hospital employes | com- posed this plaintive verse: ‘While everybody else goes out To see our President Teddy. We stay right here and do our work And then go broke already.’ j The song has been taken up generally. WEST END GYPSIES ADOPT A NEAR-HARRIMAN METHOD Wise Ones From the City Are Le- gitimate Prey for Children of Nature. A dozen young gypsy girls belonging to a camp near West End Heights did a lively business telling fortunes Sun- day along the highways, their custom- ers being city visitors. The girls seized men and women and begged permission to look at their hands. If this was granted the request was made that a coin he put in the hand. One man put a dime in his hand. The young gypsy blew on the hand, asked the man to do the same, then opened it and took possession of the dime. She made a few remarks about good luck and then asked that more silver be put in the hand, a dollar be- ing frequently mentioned in the incanta- tion. ‘TI do not want it,”” she persisted, “just put it in your hand for luck.” The man put a quarter in his hand and it followed the fate of the dime. The gypsy twisted his ears, held the quarter against his forehead and mut- tered ‘‘good luck and mooch good busi- ness” a dozen times. Then she said “Good-by” and started away. “Give me that quarter!’ yelled the man. There wae a storm of protest The man was obdurate, and finally an older gypsy girl who had been warning his wife to beware of a blonde woman who was a friend to her face but an enemy to her back, came up and ordered the custodian of the quarter to return It.

OUR GREATEST CARNIVAL. * St. Louis’ Carnival this week possesses the in- terest of a national event, associated as it is with an important national project, and, commanding the presence of the President and the Governors of many of the states. Aside from its special character this year, the Cctober' celebration which now reaches larger proportions and importance than ever before, is a distinctive institution and a time-keeper of local progress, compelling wide attention on its own - gecount. As a mere occasion of festivity the carnival has come to be nearly as well identified with St. Louis as with Venice or Rome. With its parades, illumination, music and the great ball, it outdoes for brilliance and bigness the New Orleans Mardi Gras or any other like event in this country. Though dating back hardly more than a genera- tion, it has become famous and it may be regard- ed as fixed to endure. - As an institution it has had an interesting growth. Carnival week now means what old The curious may trace its jeginnings to trading-post times and the first fetes of early French settlers. The small county fair grew into the momentous annual “meets” and exhibitions which developed the now defunct old domicile on North Grand - avenue, with its grand prize competitions and its “Big Thursday,” when a hundred thousand proud residents and country kinfolks surged about the - amphitheater. Out of the brave old “Fair” spirit and enterprise “were born bigger things. Full armed and ac- _ outered, as from the head of Jove, sprang the. _ Veiled Prephet, came his miraculous and mighty pageant, and his profound social mystery. Later developed the trade parade, his commercial ac-’ companiment. Then for a decade or so the Ex- position, with its great Gilmore, contributed a fuller meaning and sotind to the October celebra- tion. The World’s Fair gave it special emphasis, and by all these things it has grown to greatness. This year a great international event, the bal- loon races, just escapes becoming one of the features of the carnival proper. To compensate for the postponement, however, the attendance of President and*-Governors .and the waterway Occasion are ample, , The carnival at its present height of impor- tance appeals to the pride of every true St. Louis- ' an, and demands his individual participation. Let ' the holiday and the gala events be celebrated as befits an appreciative public. —___—__—___-—_#4- A float bearing the House of Delegates would be an interesting-and appropriate feature of the parade of St. Louis commercial organizations. ha, he die. — a THE WRECK OF MR. FAIRBANKS. They are dealing very severely with Charles W. Fairbanks in Indiana. It has been proved that when he. entertained President Roosevelt at dinner last spring he was in ignorance of the fact that a cocktail was lurk- ing about the premises, and the caterer has as- sumed full responsibility for the presence of that beverage. Is there, then, to be no forgiveness for & man who suffers only from the appearance of things? Mr. Fairbanks. was elected to the vice-presi- dency in November, 1904. He immediately opened a campaign for the presidential nomination ir - 1908. We suppose that he has covered more miles of railway track in the last three years than any commercial traveler living and that he has made more set speeches than any professional orator in the world. He has shaken harids by the hundreds of thousands and he has kissed babies in every American State. . What a misfortune is this that such a man, in _ the midst of his labors, with success almost within - each and his ears ringing with the plaudits of his fellow citizens, should trip over a pale and sickly cocktail and upset all the carefully laid plans and all the garnered fruits of years of toil! ____ No matter what the Indiana brethren may say ™of-him or do to him, we hold Mr. Fairbanks guilt- a and we trust that if worst comes to worst he ; move to Missouri and begin life all over

With the armory assured and the naval militia lacking only a new warship, we are nearly in shape for the next great unnecessary war. A+ & > a A A RAINBOWS FOR THE POCKETBOOK, A King of England who had to consider the question of tainted wealth said that all money smelled the same to him. To most people in the United States all bank and treasury notes look alike, for, with the ex- ception of gold notes, they are green of back and highly ornamental and full of figures as to their faces. It appears that some bankers are in favor of making $1 bills of slate color, twos of brown, fives of green, tens of blue, twenties of yellow, fifties of pink and one hundreds of white. ‘A resolution to this effect is pending before the American Bankers’ Association. Interposing at once the objection that varie- gated bills of this description would instantly de- stroy the American colloquialism, “long green,” a more important criticism is to be found in the fact that under such a system there is no telling what complications may grow out of the demands of fashion and taste. There are women who will not use 2-cent pos- tuge stamps because their color does not har- monize with their stationery. With a choice of money of varying hues similar to that which is provided by the several colors in use on postage stamps, women are likely to make trouble for themselves and other people also by becoming al- together too particular as to the tint of the bills which they will carry. ‘ Green is a very satisfactory color for trees, for grass and for money. If we are to have pink money and blue money, it will not be long before there will be lilac money and purple money and scarlet money. Under such circumstances a bank will look like a flower garden and a man with a comfortable roll will have a rainbow in his pocket.

I do not approve of “The Happy Ex-Wife’s’’ advice, as it is entirely too dangerous; and I think, reading between the lines, she is a very unhappy woman, and is greatly to be pitied. The deepest sorrow—a disappointed wife—was my lot. l have lived up to my part faithfully, and although I have not secured happiness, I am contented with the inevitable, and have a clear and quiet conscience. I have the satisfaction to know no other takes my place. In sickness or trouble, he knows where to seek rest or Sympathy. I have his confidence, J] enter into his thoughts and his pleasures; he tells me all, no matter what, where he has been. whether he lost or won. I rejoice or sorrow with him, and although I do not—cannot—approve, his confidence gives me a chance in qa kind and loving way to drop a few seeds that some time—some day, I know.--will. bear fruit. I never ask questions; what he tells, he does of his own accord, Some time, with a little strategem, I keep him home a whwle week. I get from the public library some author I know he likes. then I get him interested in the story and leave off knows the most interesting part. So the first thing he knows he. is home reading.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The Post-Dispatch is making a courageous fight for the reduction of the price of gas consumed in St. Louis and ought to win. The true remedy, it seems to me. is to secure the admission of natural gas into St. Louis. With the admission of that portion of the new State of Oklahoma, Known as the Indian Territory, into the Union as a part of that State, it would seem a remedy would be at hand affording some relief from the merciless exactions of the La- clede Gas Co. There will then be a bountiful supply within reach to draw from. Of course the relief will be entirely dependent upon the will of the majority of each branch of, the Municipal Assembly and the Mayor of the city. Without permission from the properly constituted authorities of the city to lay pipes and convey natural gas under the streets, intv the city, no company could do so. The northern part of the Indian Territory, lying immediately south of Montgomery County, Kan., and-in the vicinity of Caney, is an immense natural gas field. So long as the general Government contrdls the situation in the Indian Territory, natural gas Cannot be piped into and consumed in another State, but with the admis- sion of Oklahoma into the Union, as a sovereign State, that condition of affairs will cease to exist. The writer visited two wells in the section referred to recently, capable of producing 164,000,000 cubic per day! They were capped, but ready to be turned loose when the law permits. Kansas City, Joplin and a number of smaller towns in the western side of Missouri have an abundance of natural gas for il- luminating and heating purposes, costing the people, I believe, not more than 3 cents per thousand cubic feet. Not very much natural gas has as yet been found in or near the oil fields of Illinois, as might reasonably be expected, as the two products are usually closely associated. It is, however, entirely within the Hmits of probability, in the opinion of the best-informed experts, who have visited Jackson, Perry and other Illinois counties, southeast of St. Louis and north of that part of the Ozark uplift ex- tending across the State, from near Grand Tower to Shawneetown, that a great gas field may be opened up down there in the near future, Should this proph- ecy prove true it would revolutionize the fuel ques- tion for Southern Illinois, and St. Louis as well, pro- yided St. Louis chose to secure a Share in the result- ing benefits. Whether 4 natural gas company using Indian Territory or [liinois gas could secure a fran- ehise for St. Louis I do not express an opinion. The Laclede Gas Co. could acquire natural gas wells if it chose to do so and I presume under its charter would have the right to substitute its poor artificially made gas for the far better natural gas if it saw fit. I think the only feasible hope St. Louis has for partia! freedom lies in the development and use of the natu- ral gas fields near her borders, if such there be; and if there be none, then on those in the Indian Terri- more remote &Nd necessarily a trifle: more ¢x- pensive. At 3% cents per thousand everybody wouid use natural was. YOu would have a clean, smoke- jess city, and if the Laclede Gas Co, would furnish it, unless entirely siven Over to avarice, could make satisfactory profit®. At Caney, Kan., the factoric: can get all the natural gas they want delivered under their boilers for 2 cents per thousand cubic feet, tory,

JUST A MINUTE. ——— ee THE THIN RATTAN, | (The St. Louis Board of Education says that only corporal punishment row inflicted on pupils is administered by a thin rattan on the fleshy part of the back.) “With a thin rattan beat a rataplan On the fleshy part of the back’’— Among the rules of St. Louis schools This is still in order—whack! And this we know, for the board says so, But it adds, O, joyful word! That the brisk rataplan of the thin rat- tan Is now but seldom heard— So gentle are the teachers and so good are the kids That it’s now but seldom heard! Forbidden is a slap, or a knuckle-rap, Or boxing ears, or a shake, And a kind, firm mien, it seen For discipline doth make. But if this won't do, then it’s up to you, O, teacher, woman or man, To indulge in a whack on the flesh of the back With a ticklesome thin rattan— For nothing is so good, where gentle- ness fails, As the tickle of the thin rattan! is oftenest children, beware, here’s a warning fair, The rule of the rod’s not past; Old Solomon knew what’ its use would do, And he held to its practice fast. You'd better be good when teacher says vou should, ° Or elsm alas and alack! You'll feel the rataplan of a thin rattan On the fleshy part of your back— And it’s very hot stuff, this thin rs tan, On the fleshy part of your back! So, + LL- WO “NEW WOMAN” HIGHWAYMEN! When girls of sweet sixteen, like Mamie Kreiter of St. Louis, turn highwaymen, so to speak, and begin doing the Dick Turpin and Jack Shepperd act, it is surely time to call a hait on the modern fad for “man- nishness” in maidens. It's all very well for up-to-date damsels to cultivate their biceps, col- lect sunburn, live in the open and be strong and healthy, but, land save. us, don't let's encourage ‘em to become so strong that they “strong-arm” the rest of us! That's really running a fad in the ground, you know. Besides, people who embark. in the adventurous business of highway rob- bery have to make at least a show of deadly weapons—and what is more dangerous than a woman with a pis- tol? She’s liable to shoot it off any old time, whether you're dotng as she bids you or not, excitable is she whenever she touches a firearm, 80 that, really, there's no safety for her victims. Swiftly though you obey the grim command “Hands up?’ you're likely to be plugged by a bul- let if a woman's uoing the highway robbery stunt. Away with the girl highwayman! The woman who acts like a man has now reached the limit! sO HER DISTINCTION, “Am I the only girl you ever said you loved?" “Well, you are the only girl who ever belleved me.” NATURALLY, “He has a biased view of many things."’ “Certaluly. He is cross-eyed.” A MEAVY LOAP. “What is the burden of his song?” “The fact that he is a tenor.” A STRIKE THAT IS NEEDED. What has become of that threatened Strike of insurance agents? That was a movement that had many commendable features and could be heartily indorsed by Labor and Capital. Who cares if the iusurance agents never work? Echo an- swers-——no one but the owners of iaear| ance companies, and, happily, they form but a small proportion of the popula- tion, The strike should be encouraged and abetted. And other agents should be in- duced to join. Book agents could add to the sum total of human happiness if they would go on a durable strike—one that would hang on like they do or like a summer cold about this time of the year. There would be no serious efforts to effect arbitration and the book agents would be encouraged to stay off the job until they got all their demands and a few more. | There is a crying need for a Society for the Encouragement and Propagation of Strikes Among Insurance and Book Agents. 1 ANSWERS, questions you FRIVOLOUS (Don’t ask us any couldn't answer yourself.

Miss Breed, formerly connected with the University of Indiana, now dean of the women’s department of the Uni- versity of Missouri, is quoted as saying that all girls should marry.and should keep away from business and profes- sional careers, She considers that the higher education does not unfit them for domestic life, but holds that while they are getting this they should also consider marriage in a serious way as the career to which they will thereafter be de- voted. Nor is Miss Breed right in saying that all girls should marry. Everybody knows women who ought never to marry—wom- en who make nelther good wives nor good mothers, neurotic women, selfish. self-indulgent, idle women, wemen of inferior physique and inherited or ac- quired tendencies to disease. Commonly such women do marry and give evi- dence of their deficiencies to all who observe. Their number’ should prevent a leader and teacher of girls from mak- ing the sweeping statement ascribed ta the dean of the Missouri college. On the whole, it would seem to be wiser to in- culeate sensible and sane ideas of mar- riage among girls and then leave ther. to follow what career they prefer, rather than to give support to the Bernard Shaw theory that Woman pursues man into matrimony by encouraging such pursuit.

The Trust in Texas. From the Waco Times-Herald. The more we think about our anti- trust laws, and the more we study their workings, the more puzzling do they appear. Here is our Judge Scott advising the McLennan County grand jury to make investigation into the conduct of the oil mill owners, saying he had no doubt there was an understanding between them as to purchases and prices. Judge Scott, of course, in thus ad- vising is tracking the law, But the law, it seems to us, is un- just in that it discriminates. Here is the Farmers’ Union, for in- stance, under a solemn resolution not to take less than $20 per ton for cot- ton seed, and we all throw hats and shout, “Bully boys; may you win out!” But here comes the owners of the cotton mills and say they will pay only $15 per ton for cotton seed, and we say that is a criminal conspiracy against trade. Is it equal and exact justice to per- mit one body of men to combine as to prices and deny that same privilege to another body of men? We ask for information.

DON'T LOVE TOO SOON, AN love of the true and lasting type develop In a couple of weeks? If you Be are a girl of the impressionable age and think love at first sight an idenl- istic thing of the story book variety, you will quickly disagree with older, wiser heads who condemn a three weeks’ romance as an irrationa) affair. When love is young and youth ts impulsive a fortnight seems ample time to court a life partner, and in the joy of loving and being loved the stern realities of the future are completely forgotten. The couple who marry In haste are sure to re- pent at leisure, for matrimony is too serious a proposition to be frivolously con- templated. No girl blinded with infatuation can see with eyes of reason, and @ man in love is said to be as ‘‘cragzy as a loon."” So if you have discovered affinity after a two or three weeks’ @tquaintance. do not immediately the matrimonial yoke. Instead, look upon your lover as a substantial lifelong helpmate, diseover his faults, ideals and habits, and if after a reasonable lengyh of time your lo®e still endures, you are then safe to take the matrimonial ~ plunge. Do not succumb to the requests of your impetuous. hasty lover, for in real life true love at first sight is a rare thing. Be sensible, girls, and in the end you will find out that matrimony based on cool judgment, thorough knowledge ~ of each other's characters and long-standing affection is the safest, most en- during kind. — HAT is the strongest human passion? Love, say the sentimentalists in chorus. But they are wrong. There is a passion stronger than love—much stronger—since, when it is mortally wounded, love also dies. This passion is Vanity. The latest manifestation of the strongest feeling is that of Mrs. Klimovicz of Chi- cago. When another woman had Kimlovicz arrested for pursuing her, and to prove that she was not his wife, as he claimed, said that she could get both her feet in one of the real Mrs. Klimovicz’s shoes, the latter lady, who had been hiding from her husband for years, came out of concealment in another city and proclaimed her identity that the aspersion on her feet might be removed. When it was established to the statisfaction of every one that she wore only a No. 4, Mrs. Klimovicz went triumph- antly back to her retirement, leaving her husband and ' ether woman to “right it out. Had this incident happened in any other city than Chicago it might be re- garded as contributing to the general evidence of woman’s strongly developed personal vanity. But such is the Western city’s comic supplement reputation in the matter of feet that I think the weakest and least vain of Chicago women would be perfectly justified in any measures she might take to establish the emaliness of her peripatetic extermities once they were aspersed. The admiration and striving for very small feet is, however, one that I have never been able to understand. It seems to me the possession of feet no- ticeably too small is just a little bit better than having them visibly large. Why should we want our feet to be out of proportion any more than our heads or shoulders? But we do. We often find that even hard-headed business man is vain ef his feet if they happen to be small and shapely. And there are even fool- ish men who from their vanity wear shoes too small for them. . Women have grown more sensible in the matter of shoes and sizes every year, but this season's reviva! of the shapely, pointed toe may prove that the strong passion of vanity has'again gotten the better of them Even naturally tiny feet give a woman of any size a ludicrous walk that ap- peals to no man out of Chinatown. But a woman like Mrs. Klimovicz, with feet of moderate size, is entirely justified in vindicating them from the terri- ble charge of being twice as big as another woman's. “KOLA GREELEY SMiTw Lovecy!

I am informed that a considerable quantity of this “cattle food” ts. 23 ported from Great Britain to the United States.

In fact, to the majority of womankind it is the most important ques- tion of the wardrobe, for, as every one knows, the hat either makes or mars the entire toilet.

While it impossible to lay down any hard and fast rules in regard to selection of a hat, a few general ones may be observed. A tall woman may wear a large all-black hat, whether ‘hin: a_short woman under the same conditions should flee for such a hat tempts her. The slender woman of medium height will need no guide, but a stout wom- an of the same number of inches should choose her hat of medium pruportions, neither too large nor too small, and preferably trimmed high.

STAGG FURTHERS OCHEMS (DEA OF DESIGNATION Goes Local Coach One Better in Marking Football Players, ee QUARTER MBN ABSENT r

Failure of Regulars to Report Necessitates Tack Schneider Filling in for S. L. U.

T SEEMS as if Eddie Cochems has al- | lowed one Alonzo Stagg of Chicago University to steal his fire. Co- chems for the last number of months has been advocating a system of num- bering the men on the football field so that the spectators can place the play- ers. But Stagg has gone him one step bet- ter, and not content with merely num- bering the players, he is to allot to each man a certain color, and accord- ingly the «olor effect of the Chicago eleven should very closely resemble these oll crazy-quilts grandmothers were wont to inake. As is apparent, Cochems' idea of mere numbers pales into insignificance before this masterly conception of the Chicago man, and St. Louls for once must take off its hat the Windy City. But Apart from all delicate attemp{s at ridicule it does seem as if Cochems and Stage have hit upon a sensible in- ovation in football and one that wil! fause it to become more popular with the people who attend the ganies. Un- less one is an ardent_rooter, it is next to impossible in the quickness of play ana the piling «up of scrimmage to tell With any degree of certainty whom the players aro that are taking purt in a certain play or formation. Now, if the men were decorated with something or other which would tally with the means of description given them on the pro- gram the spectator would have no diffi- @ulty in picking out the men and un- erstanding what they had done in the play that has ensued. There is no doubt but, this would advance the pop- blarity of ‘the gridiron game immensely. r St. Louts U.'s Predicament. _At present St. Louis U. 1s in an odd predicament.

me o According to Long Distance Spectators, Eng- lishman Made the President Look Like a Counterfeit.

=~ By Wire From the Washington Bu- ureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—There longer remains a shadow of doubt that President Roosevelt and London’s Bish- op met upon thé White House tennis court on Friday and fought it out—man to man-—to a finish. Mr. Loeb himself admits the truth of this, and the 24 hours habitually taken by the President to cecide whether such admissions shall stand or Loeb recant and call himself names have passed in silence. Slowly a few facts are escaping. Three sets of tennis were played and in each set the Lord Bishop had a differ- ent partner. First he played with Secretary Gar- field, next with Assistant Attorney-Gen- eral Cooley and at last with the Presi- dent. Silas McBee, editor of the Churchman, was advanced to a high perch in the ladc- Ger of fame by being the only living close-range spectator of the struggle. Half a dozen newspaper men On the roof of a building just across the, street from the White House tennis courts en- joyed a long-distance view. It enabicd them, however, to corral these facts. The President looked high in flesh and rather loggy in action. His handling of the racquet was strenuous and skill- ful. no Bishop Outplayed Him. All the opera glass critics agree that the Lord Bishop—lean as a greyhound and as active as a kitten—clearly out- Played the distinguished antagonist. He was full of wiles that one would hardly expect in so noted a churchman and puzzled the President with 57 varieties of drives and cuts. All this is emphatically denied, how- ever, by the administration rooters, who insist that the Lord Bishop was pie for the President. As viewed from the roof across the street this version is misleading. The Lerd Bishop arrayed in light flannel trousers, soft shirt, with turndown col- lar and dark brown tennis shoes, played fast and furious. He grips his racquet near the top of the handle while the President clutches his near fre base The Lord Bishop's favorite stroke is an under-hand downward cut which sends the ball curving to the teft when it hits the court and rebounds with'a curve to the right. It was a puzzler for the President, who swatted vainly time and time again at the elusive ball. The Bishop was likewise strong in long drives from the back of the court. Both of the champions were Chester- fieldian as to manners. When the Pres- ident scored, the Bishop would shout: “Jolly good.” When the Bishop turned a trick the President would yell: “That's bul'y."’ Other Players “Kasy.” Measrs. Garficld and Cooley, the part- ners of the President and the Bishop, were ‘overshadowed and almost forgot- ten. They were not even invited to the luncheon that followed the great match. Saturday, however, they were both guests at the White House dinner in

honor of the Bishop. The others pres- ent were Silas McBee of the Church- man and the Rev. Dr. Brent. Before the dinner the Bishop demon- strated his skill in still another depart- ment of athletics. Accompanied by Fresident Roosevelt he .was_ driven through a heavy downpour of rain to the Chevy Chase Club, seven miles out of Washington, for a game of golf. Then, with Mr. McBee for a partner, the Bishop played hole after hole against Secretary Garfield and Assistant Attorney-General Cooley. Thorougnly soaked, they at last abandoned the game. But still in doubt is the vital ques- tion: Did President Roosevelt wailop the Lord Bishop, or did England’s pre- late trounce our hitherto’ invincible Chief Executive? Countless rumors have been proved worthless by careful investigation. For example, the widely circulated report that one of the presidential suspender buttons, torn from its fastening by the strain of combat, smote the Lord Bishop under the left ear, raising a painful lump, is without foundation. Equally unworthy of credence is the current ru- mor that at one stage of the game ven- turesome listeners at knotholes in the White House fence heard the startling words: ‘““My word! Hi wonder who told ‘im ‘e could ply.” Yet to be discovered is the result—the score, the tally—made by each of the distinguished athletes. It is not mere- ly that pardonable public curlosity must be satisfied. Full publicity is demand- ed by weighty considerations of high finance. What are the the wagers plz e*akeholders to do with @ in their keeping” It is said tha vuhn W.

BLANCHARD TO RECEIVE GRADUATE MEN TODAY . . 07 HES eg gangs Schneider Is Banished by Cochems From Lake Beulah and Blue and White Team Squad. This afternoon when the graduate de- partments of the university send their quota of football candidates out to the Sadium, Coach Blanchard of Washing- on University will commence his actual work of the vear. With only a month in which to whip his squad into form for the St. Louis I’. game, he has short time to give to the usual preliminary early season work, but will get his men down to hard driving practice as soon as their phy- sical condition warrants it. Spencer Thomas, captain in ‘06, and who was counted upon strongly this yeur to strengthen the Myrtle and Ma- roon back field, says that the press of student work will .-keep him off the gridiron this year. If he sticks to his determination to retire his loss will be a severe blow to Washington and lessen their chances of capturing the St. Louis and Missouri games. Word comes from Lake Beulah, Wis., where St. Louis is holding its early practice, that all is not as sweetly se- rene in camp as it should be, and phat Jack Schneider, the big fullback of the team, has been summarily .sent home for ‘acting up.’’ Cochems is not the man to stand any infringement of train- ing rules or his commands and his ac- tion in disciplining Schneider is in line with his general policy of exacting strict obedience to his orders. pe Sane TRAINS IN A STONE QUARRY Minnesota Football Captain Adopts Novel System of Work. WATERLOO, Sept. 30. — John Schuknecht, captain of the Minnesota is hardening bis muscles in a stone quarry near his home in Bre- mer County. He won the plaudits of football enthusiasts all over the country last year, and is confident that the com- ing season will see his star further fn the ascendancy. After college closed last June he went home for a long rest, and then he resolved to undergo a strenuous campaign to harden his mus- cles. So he resolved upon wielding the ick, and finds himself in fine fettle. Besides. he has been doing al! sorts of other hard work. He has shoveled coal with the ease of a steam shovel, and worked where he found diversion in lifting the heavy machinery. But the stone quarry put the finishing touches on his muscles and made them like chilled steel. —.——

So great is the clamor to know th. results of the game when the Tigers are away that the newspapers have ceased giving out the score over the telephone. Twentr girls on each newspaper coulda’t satisfy the demand for hasecball news. It !s almost impossible to get a cafe by telephone where the returns are be- Ing received over the wire. If Ty Cobb hurts his finger the fans ate ready to weep. If he smashes out a screaming three-bagger the fans raise a shout of joy.

BIG GLOBE STORE ENTERTAINS Music, Souvenirs and Flowers, Mark Firm’s Twenty-Eighth' An- niversary. Amazed at the greatness of the Big Globe Store, hundreds of strangers in the city thronged that wonderful es- tablishment today, and shared in the souvenirs that were given away, lis- tened to the music and partook gen- erously of the special bargains of- fered for the occasion, The Globe's monster clothing floor, covering more than 20,000 square feet, was a revela- tion to the men, while the women in- spected the bewildering costumes and the bewitching millinery on the third floor. Every counter and shelf in the store exhibits the newest fall fash- ions. Novelties from all the world over are in evidence. From the im- mense crowds that are availing them- selves of the special low prices that are being made for this week, some very big bargains are bein offered. It seemed to be the general impres- sion among the shoppers that never before had any St. Louis store sold high-grade goods at such rare low prices. The Globe. rea gement an-

nounces that the great:.outdoor illu- mination, the most remarkable. dis- play of electricity west of New York City, will burn every night of this week. The Globe’s central location at Seventh and Franklin avenue, to which all car Tines transfer, makes it a favorite shopping place for visitors. The big clock in the Globe tower is a landmark that cannot be mistaken. The Globe’s Anniversary Souvenir cel- ebration is an event that no visitor to the city, or resident, either, for that matter, can afford to miss.

(AISER'S AERONAUTS AFTER NEW RECORDS The Three German Entrants Most Formidable for the St. Louis Races.

Germany’s delegation of three entrants in the balloon and airship races to be held in St. Louis the week of Oct. 21 will be, apparently, the most formid- able offered by any of the nations pre- sented. Each of the three is an ex- perienced air-sailor. ¥ The delegation set sail from Bremen nearly a week ago, and will reach Si. Louis in time for several trial flights before the races. It is compose?’ of Baron Hugo von Abercron, a captain in the German army; Oscar Erbsloch and Paul Meckel. Capt. von Abereron will pilot the Dus- seldorf, in which he won a race May 19 from ‘Mannheim, defeating a large field. He won another race Aug. 1. Hans Heldemann will accompany him. The Captain is president of the Lower Rhine Aeronautic Society and a member of the Sport Committee of the German Aeronautic Union. Erbsloeh won the international race from Brussels, Sept. 15.. He traveled 620 miles, which is 218 miles further than Lieut. Lahm satied.when he won the international Lahm cup. Erbsloch’s bal- loon is the Pommern. Meckel will pilot the Posen. Col. H. W. L. Moedebeck and Capt. A. Hilde- brandt will accompany the trio as coaches. All have been closely identi- fied with German aeronautics, and they are confident of establishing some ree- ords from St. Louis. SERVES NOTICE HE IS ALIVE Jules Ouvey Worried by Sympa- thy for His Family. Jules Oulvey of. French Village went to Belleville Monday to give notice that he wasn't dead. A man killed by a Suburban car at Mantle’s saloon, three miles west of Belleville, Sunday night, had been identified as Oulvey, and he wanted to put a stop to the messages of sympathy that poured into his home. The undertaker who has charge of the body is waiting for identification. The man is about 45 years old, has a brown mustache and brown hair. In general appearance he is ae like Oulvey. In stepping aside to avoid an east- bound car the man slipped and fell across the rails. He died an hour later --* St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belle- ville.
