NATURE FAKERS HOLD A FIFLD DAY; HERE ARE THE ENTRIES—PICK THE WINNER Whale Swallows Logline, Birds Fight a Man, Snake Grabs Fish by the Tail. Washington (D. C.) Papers Please Copy. WATERBURY, Cuonn, Dec. 13.-- Charles Kench of East Litchfield, who has hunted big game in Alaska and the Northwest, was feeding his pigs yester- day when he was startled by the yelpirg of his pointer. Wheeling, he saw the dog in the clutches of a big eagle. Kench had a trowel in his hand and with this he beat the biru away froin the dog. Then the eagle attacked him furiously with beak and claws. Flying in his face and almost blindin:; him with its wings, it tore his scalp and ripped his clothing. Finally a luclyv stroke with the trowel cut its throat just as Kench dropped “exhausted. The eagle measured 9 feet 2 inches from tip to tip across its wings, and 6 feet 5 inches from its head to the tip of its tail. T hie Is on the Level; It Was Born in Illinois FREEPORT, Ill, Dec. 13.—Paul Niles, a hunter, was attacked by an enor- mous flock of crows near here yester- day and barely escaped with his ite. Niles fireu into the flock, wounding several, and the others attacked him. The man started to run, but was knocked down and pecked about the face and eyes and beaten almost insensible by the birds’ wings. With the great- est difficulty he crawled to a nearby }

way, and it was not until he was in- gide that they desisted. Niles is in a gzeeg condition. This Snake Catches Fish bv.Grabbing Their Tails BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Dec. 13.—While dragging a pond near Rodding Bridge in search of small fish for bait yes- terday, Reuben Warren saw a trout weighing about a pound motionless in a pool near the shore. He waded out toward the fish, which did not move. Bending over quickly he grabbed it close up toward the gills, and on raising it from the water 492 was astounded to find a water snake measuring 4 feet fast to the trout’s tail. Wd¢rren took the fish aud snake ashore, killed the reptile, and brought them to this city, where he has placed them on exhibition at the rooms of the Fish and Game Club. ; Whale Swallows Knot e \ Line, Can Knot Escape SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18-—The screams of a tortured whale were heard above a storm for six hours last night. as it vainly strove to vomit the knot line and rotator of the schooner J. M. Weatherwax which it had swallowed. Thé monster’s agony was frightful as it was towed along from Eureka with the Weatherwax as the knots ‘vere reeled off in its alimentary canal. The Weatherwax took 12 days to come down from Eureka to this port and part of the delay is attributed by Capt. Oster- ‘huis to the mad struggles of the whale in trying to disgorge the rotator. Death ended the suffering of the whale short- ly after the line was cut by a tender- hearted sallor.

TWO-CENT FARE CAUSES LOSSES SAT FAILADADS -

Traffic Lines Are Preparing to Fight Missouri Law After February. .

Confident that a tremendous reduction of traffic can be shown during October, November, December and January, and that widespread retrenchments have be- come necessary as the result of de- creased earnings, Missouri railroad com- panies have decided not to contest the 2-cent passenger fare law until Feb- ruary. A high official of the.Missouri Pacific Railroad, which has mileage in Missouri nearly double that of any other line, told a Post-Dispatch Friday that passenger and freight receipts had declined 30 per cent in the past 90 days. In the first week of December, he said, the net earnings of the Missouri Pacific main line and branches amounted to $717,000, a decrease of $103,00¢- compared with. the corresponding period of 1906. | Hope to Kuock ant Law, . “From this it is apparent we will have no trouble knocking out the 2-cent law,”’ said he. The injunction to prevént the enforcement of the 2-¢ent law was sus- pended by Judge McPherson of the Fed- éra. Court pending a 90 days’ trial. “At the end of that period the rail- roads found that their passenger busi- ness had not suffered in proportion to the cut in passenger rates. In fact, we carried more passengers from June to September, 1907, than in the same period last year. “When the railroads failed to have: the injunction proceedings renewed. before Judge McPherson, the statement was made that we had decided to abandon Athe contest. Such, however, is not. the case. We found that a three months’ test is quite insufficient to determine whether the law is confiscatory. “But with the return of November, Oc- tober and what is promised during Janu- ary we are certain thatthe courts will not sustain the reduced fare act. “We fully expected that Attorney- General Hadley would seek to have the law tested at the end of the 9-day period. As it is, the railroads have gained & slight advantage, being able to make a more comprehensive showing for seven months than théy have done for only three.’’ Heavy Loss in Revenue. The total loss in revenue to the Mis- sourl Pacific, Chicago & Alton, Burling- ton, Frisco and Wabash roadg during November was $2,000,000. The greater part of this reduction, however, was in freight traffic. According to a Wabash official, the Miscourl roads wiil.show an aggregate loss of $6,000,000 on passenger traffic since the 2-cent fare law went into ef- fect, June 17. Since Dec. 1 the leading Missouri roads have laid off 10,000 men. Would Bar Express Compantes. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 13. Me. forts,of the State Railroad and Ware- house Commissioners to put into ef- fect a 20 per cent reduction in ex- press rates in Missouri have been stopped for at least three years, ac- cording to T. M, Bradbury, secretary of the commission, unless in the meantime some means is found to put into effect a rate which can. not be contested in the Federal courts. The six express companies have brought injunction proceedings in the Federal Court in Kansas City to re- strain the commission from enforcing itd new rate schedule. Mr. Bradbury suggests a remedy which if made a law would have the effect of not only reducing express rates 50 per cent in Missouri, but would actually prevent the express companies from operating in the State. Mr. Bradbury favors the passage of a law taking away the right of ex- is compantes to do business in Missourt and requiring railroad compenies to carry packages on passenger trains and would limit the compensation therefor to 50 per cent of the rates now charged by the ex- press companies for that service, Quits Navy Rather Than Go to Sea.

ALDRICH, Mo., Dee: 13.—Armed posses are searching today, after a fruitless hunt al! night, for three rob- bers who, in daylight, drove to the Bank of Aldrich, forced the cashier to dump $3000 in gold and currency into their buggy and marched him, with the vice- president of the bank, under threat of revolver and Winchester rifle, to the edge of town before whipping their norse to a gallop and escaping. _ Residents who saw the bank offi- clals, followed by the armed, unmasked robbers, and the buggy, with its armed driver, knew something was wrong, but were afraid to interfere unarmed. the time they obtained arms and organ- ized a crowd for attack the men were gone. D. C. Toalson, vice-president of the bank, and James Viles, cashier, were at their desks, when, at 4p. m. yesteraay, just at the hour for closing, a buggy containing three men drove up. One robber remained in the buggy while the other two leaped out. Both Intruders Armed. One of the men carried a revolver, the other a rifle. They entered the bank, located in a two-story brick building on the main street of the town, and ‘‘cov- ered” the officials while the. nian out- side dropped the reins and maintained The tone of the wien was bustness- like as ‘they told -Viles to- get all the money from the vaults and pyt it into the biggy. He obeyed, making several trips to earry out the bulging sacks of silver and gold and the packages of bank notes. During the three or four minutes re- quired to do this, Toalson remained at his desk with the other robber leveling the Winchester at him, - After the last trip the men ordered Toalson out from the cage,: and the four started down the street .behind the bank offictals, while the driver of the buggy set his horse into a trot ahead of them.

At the edge of the village, after a five- minute walk, the robbers jumped into the buggy, which had been stopped to awaft them, and, with a final oath and warhing against pursuit, drove away.

KANKAKEE, IIl., Dec! 13.—Suffering from cold, exposure ak hunger, 8-year-old Lillian Wulff, kidnaped last Saturday from her Chicago home, was recovered today near Momence, 10 miles east ot here in a raid by deputy sheriffs on the camp of a band of- gypsies: Two members of the band, in whose custody she was found, are under arrest. Physicians say the child is seriously ill from bad treat- ment and exposure, but that she will recover. She is at the home of © Sheriff Riley in jvlomence, awaiting the arrival of ‘her father and den i a tectives already on the way from Chicago.

They give the names of Mr. and Mrs. William Jones, which the officers think are assumed, and say they were on their way to St. Louis. They refuse to discuss their possession of the child. Lilian ‘was: at’ play on the lawn in front of heft home last Saturday when two gypsy women went in to tell Mrs. Wulft's fortune. They predicted that a great misfortyne would befall the Wulff household. A short time later Lilllam dieappeared. Search of Chicago failed to reveal any trace of her, and a reward of $1000 was offered for the capture of the kidnapers. Several clews, based on reports that a girl answering Lillian’s description had been seen, were run down in vain, Detectives and special olficers scattered in every direction, and in New Buffalo, Mich., a house-to-house canvas was fia: stituted yesterday on a rumor that the ehild was there. Thomas Abbott, a farmer living sout!: of- Momence, saw a little girl trailing wearily behind a covered gypsy wagon when it passed his place yester- day. His suspicion was uroused, and last evening he took a can of milk to the thicket whither he had seen the wagon driven. The camp was hidden frora the road, and the place of conceal- ment was secure from casual observa- tion, Man Questions Child. When Abbott appeared with the milk the gypsy woman took it eagerly, and while she drank it he questioned the child. She said her name was Lillliam Wulff. The woman overheard her. “That’s a lie,” she cried in fury. ‘Tell the man your name is Jones.”’ Cringing, the girl obeyed. But Abbott Was not satisfied. He noted that the girl had on neither shoes nor stockings, although the night was bitterly cold in the sand hills, and that the ill-fitting clothes she wore were thin and torn. He did not believe that if she were the sypsy’s daughter, as the woman said, she would be so poorly clad. Abbott notified Sheriff Riley, and ac- companied him when, with several deputies, he raded.the camp. The gypsies offered no resistance. The man and woman were arraigned before Magistrate Brassard and waived preliminary trial. They Were bound over to the grand jury here.

The notion that meat is necessary for real strenth and the foundation of solid flesh is now no longer as preva- ient as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested” portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system. “7 was a heavy meat eater,” writes an Ills. man, “and up to two years ago, was in very poor health. ‘I suf- fered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds. “Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. My wife laughed at me at first but: when I gained to 125 pounds and felt so fine, she thought she would eat Grape- Rute, too. “Now she is fat-and well and has gained 40 pounds. We never have in-, digestion any more and seldom seth l ce the desire for meat.

WHERE’S MICHAEL BUTLER? CITY HAS $9 FOR HIM AND IS ANXIQUS TO PAY IT There is $9 for Michael Butler. a Ches- ley Island laborer, at tiie City Treas- urer’s office. Mr. Butler will oblige

“Treasurer Franciscus by calling for the money. Qvestions will pe asked, especi- ully the question why Butler, after drawing $266.50 from the city, quit work Nov. 22; on the very day when Henry J. Paulus was discharged ag issue clerk by President O'Reilly of the Board: of Public Improvements. If Butler doesn’t appear and claim his money before the Christmas shopring rush is over, some city officials will con- u.ude that, like Mrs. Sairey Gamp’s friend, Mrs. Harris, “‘there ain’t no such person.”’ Simon Suss, successor of Paulus as isgue clerk, has been trying in vain to find Butler. When he made his first visit to Chesley Island,» Dec. 1, with the men’s pay, he paid off all except ltutler. No one seemed to know about Lutler, and, although he was crédited with four and one-half days’ work, he was not there to get his money. Suss took the money back to the City Hall and turned it over to the Treasurer, Butler’s name first appeared on the payroll June 7 last, and he since has been credited with $215.50 worth of serv- ice at $2 a day. All but the last $9 has been collected. Paulus was dismissed from his posi- tion in President O’Reilly’s office after the disclosure of the purchase of some $70 worth of expensive linen for the garbage tug Saturn, which plies between the city and Chesley Island. It was

also shown that stock in the tug was owned by his wife. The last grand jury inquired into these matters.

LOSSES BLAMED FOR CASHIER'S § SUICIDE IN BANK AT NIGHT Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANKAKEE, TIih., Dec. 13—R. B.: Easton, cashier of the State Bank of Herscher, who went into the bank at night and killed himself with a revolver, is believed to have been prompted by heavy losses in speculation on the Board of Trade. The Coroner's inquest was held today, but it failed to throw any light on the suicide. An investigation of the bank books has been ordered and experts have been summoned, although the directora are confident that all ts correct. At a meet- ing last Tuesday all accounts were found to be accurate, but it is “pald that Easton became alarmed as the re- sult of this meeting. Easton had lived in Herscher 20 years and always was respected. He is survived by @ wife and two children. One son has ticen assist- ant cashier under his father: since the bank was organized five years ago.

SHE BROKEDOWN DOOR Answering Charge in Cross Bill, Plaintiff Asserts She Is Business Woman. The charge that she was hugged by a man in front of her boarding place, 4622 West Belle place, last Sunday night, is indignantly denied by Mrs. Edith M. Zucker. This charge was embodied in the crossbill filed by David I. Zucker to her petition for divorce. Mrs. Zucker is an attractive brunette, mot yet 23 years old. She says she is 13 years younger than her husband and his third w'fe. “Last Sunday evening,’’ she sald to a Péset-Dispatch reporter Friday, ‘I called ~ on some friends in the neighborhood and when I started home these friends re- quested a visitor in “the house—a Chi- cago business man whom I never had seen alone—to escort me home.

But he did recognize me and ®@aid, ‘Edith, I want to speak to you.’ “There was no intimation or sugges- tion from him that I had been hugged. But he asked the gentleman with me to explain his presence, which was done. They left together for the Planters Ho- tel, I understand, and my escort told my husband just how he happened to be with me. My husband did remark that he would ‘beat the man up,” but he said nothing about my arrest. “The gentleman with me did not give his right name to Mr. Zucker. He was perfectly innocent and did not want to be mixed up in something that was not his fault.

IRE INSURANCE COMPANIES AGAIK ARE UNDER FIRE -_

Attorney-General Hadley Is Looking for Compine to Fix Rates.

Leiters from agents to himeelf stat- ing that his companies had lost business kecatse other companies, not members of “the Western Union,” had cut under the rates adopted by the union were read by W. H. Hemenway of St. Louis, a member of the insurance Agency, be- tore Special Commissioner George F. Longan, who is hearing testimeny in At- torney-General Hadley’s ster suit against 67 fire insurance companies. The nearing is at the Southern Hotel. The insurance agency is composed of four St. Louis insurance firms. The Attorney-General alleges that the defendant companies have entered into a combination to fix the price of fire insurance in this State and is taking testimony to determine wheiher a suit should be brought. The penalty on con- viction is a revocation of license and a fine of from $100 to $1000. Similar suits were filed against about fifty companies by Attorney-General Crow in 1898 and fines aggregating $115,- 000 were assessed by the Supreme Court. Use One Man’s Kestimates. The alleged unlawfu! combination to fix prices is known as the Western wnion. It is charged that this organ- ization fellgws the rates compiled an- nuany by James A. Waterworth, an insurancé expert, his rates being known as ‘the Waterworth estimate.”’ Hemenway, the only witness examined Friday morning, brought with him on a subpena decues tecum a number. of letters which had passed between him and agents of the companies he repre- sents, and between him and other com- panies. About 45 of the 67 defendant com- panies were represented at the hear- ing Friday. The examination was conducted for the prosecution by As- sistant Attorneys-General F. G. Fer- ris and Rush C. Lake. John F. Lee of St. Louis is chief counsel] for the companies. Commissioner Longan probably will hold the hearing for two or three days, but it will be unable to com- plete his work at this time.

BROWN PROTESTS AGAINST CHAUFFEUR’S ARREST George Warren Brown, millionaire shoe manufacturer, protested. in Chief of Police Creecy's office Friday against the arrest of his chauffeur for speeding at eBaumont and Locust streets. Brown said his wife was in the car, and that, as she is a nervous woman, he was sure the chaufleur hadn’t exceeded the legal limit. He said Patrolman Long, who made the arrest, was overzealous. Chief Creecy sent for Long, who con- tented himsel fwith saying that the chauffeur was driving more than eight miles an hour. This ended the matter so far as Chief Creecy’s office was con- cerned, Long arrested Bernard Murphy and Preston Myree, a negro, both chauffeurs, at Beaumont and Locust streets, while they were driving their cars side by side Thureday afternoon.

ND DEAD MAN'S HAMOND OR PA Deputy Administrator Holds Patrolman Kane “Person- ally Responsible.”

DIAMOND’S VALUE $180 It Disappearéd After the Own- er, Capt. Finley, Was Found Dying. en

Deputy Public Administrator Bohn no- tified the Coroner Friday that he will hold Patrolmam Kane personally respon- sible for the loss of a diamond stud valued at $180 which disappeared from the trousers pocket of Capt. A. D. Fin- ley, a riverman, after he was found dying in his room at 1817 Franklin ave- nue. Calling at the office of the Coroner to take charge of Finley's effects, Bohn said: “‘IXane will have to make good this joss. He must find the diamond or pay the Administrator its value in money.” After Kane, at the Coroner’s inquest Friday, hed given testimony which did not agree with his written police report, Chief Creecy announced that he would at once begin a thorough investigation to fix responsibility for the loss of the gem. Kane’s Explanation. “After Capt. Finley had been taken to the City Dispensary Wednesday night I searched his pockets and found the dia- mond,”’ said Kane at the inquest. ‘‘It was in a setting, but I don’t think there was a pin or a stud screw on it. I took it out of its tissue-paper wrapper and examined it and laid it on a table. ‘‘In the Dispensary at the time were Patrolman Murphy, Patrolman Anthony, Ambulance Driver Joseph Gallagher, a night clerk, whose name I don't know. ana Dr. Meyerdieck, the physician in charge. All except Dr. Meyerdileck picked up the diamond and looked at it. “Before we started to the Morgue with Capt. Finley’s body someone wrapped up the stone. Patrolman Mur- phy held open Finley’s leather purse and I dropped the stone into it. . At least IT think it was the stone. It felt like it through the tissue paper, but I wasn’t looking“when it was wrapped up. On the way over to the Morgue |! could feel it in the purse. “At the Morgue I laid the purse on a table. Murphy and Anthony and a nesr> attendant was there, “I took the purse to the Central Dis- trict Station, but when I opened the purse the stone and its tissue paper wrapper were gone. | “T investigated at the Morgue. couldn't find out anything.” “Iiave you investigated at the Dis- pensary?"’ usked-Deputy Coroner Fath. “No,” sai. Kane. “Well, you'd better do it right away,”’ answered Fath. His Written Report, ; In his report to the Chief of Police the night of Finley’s death, Kane does not mention Policeman Anthony as having been at the Dispensary. “Officer Murphy and myself, assisted hy an ambulance driver, searched Fin- ley’s pockets,” he wrote. ‘“‘We found a stud and other articles. The ambulance driver put all of the articles in a pock- etbook and handed it to me. I accom- panied the body to the morgue and when I returned to the station and searched the purse the diamond was missing. I think I must have lost it on the way from the dispensary to the station via the morgue.”’ Patrolman Murphy made a report in which he said that he saw the contents of Finley’s pockets, but that he did not see a diamond. The records of the City Dispensary contain a report made by Dr. Meyer- dieck in which a list of the articles found on Capt. Finley is given. It in- cludes “fone, diamond stud.”’ Attached to this report is a receipt signed by Kane acknowledging that all of the articles in the list were turned over to him by Dr. Meyerdieck. “I will investigate this case,” said Dr. Scott, Chief Dispensary physician. “It seems from our records that the diamond was turned over to Kane by Dr. Meyerdieck and that it left the Dis- pensary when Kane departed for the morgue. On Dr. Meyerdieck’s report Kane’s name appears as the only wit- ness to the searching of the body. Un- der the rules of this department this search could have been made only by Dr. Meyerdieck, who was responsible for the property until he obtained the policeman’s receipt for it.”’ aan New Theater to Open.

Gamest of All — When in Prime Sag inaw Fighter Barred No Weight or * CE ELE “Champions I Have Known’ the Saginaw boy who whipped them all, lightweights and welterweights, until old John Barleycorn put him away at last? Lavigne was a fighting wonder in his day. Built sturdily from his head to his heels, with wide shoulders and a good neck and ehin, with gameness. unrivalled, Lavigne was invincible until his own foolishness destroyed his fighting ability and sent him down to the first defeat. | If Lavigne had never taken a drink he might have been light- weight champion of the world to this day. The ‘“‘Saginaw Kid”’ “was one of the gamest men that ever stepped into a ring. Nothing in the shape of punishment could affect his nerve. The fearful fight in which he made Joe Walcott quit at Maspeth will rever be forgotten, and his 12-round victory over the ‘‘Giant-Killer’’ in San Francisco is a part of ring history that will endure until new champions have wiped out all memory of the ancients and the present generation of sporting men has gone over the range. N that Mauspcth fight Walcott beat | Lavigne until the spectators sick- . cred and ealled for the sponge. La- “tgne’s ear was hanging to his head by a shred. Plis face was smashed flat; his eyes were closed. Walcott, fighting like the “Black Demon” he Wie, kept up @ paee that would have allled of any other lightweight in the Ting in a round or two. But there was no stopping Lavigne. The more he was pattered the more furiously he came Time and again, reeling away under the terrible impact of Walcott's firts, he charged in again, throwing his whole Weight into the attack. And at last “Walcott gave up hope of beating this a white man. The oternal dif- erence between the white and the black faces was illustrated again. ‘he black, mnhurt, ledked at the waite man, terri- bly battered and disfigured; but stil! fighting absolutely without fear, and his heart began to recognize the mas- ‘tery that has obtained since the an- ‘@ient forerunners of the Caucasian race -Arst took the negro into bondage. ' Walcott began to flag in his efforts.

Dick Burge was the reatest lightweight ever produced in Smgiand, and the Englishinen went down hook, line aad sinker on thei: champion. ' Lavigne’s manager had a funny expe-’ Fience in ‘that fight.

He recovered presence of mind enough to collect the rest of his wagers in pounds, but he fhad the fan-tods for a week afterward thinking what that crowd would have done to him had Lavigne lost. L he would drink whisky. He ‘thought it would never hurt him. He thought he had an iron head and a zinc-lined stomach. Lots of young fighters have that idea, and when they AVIGNPE’S only trouble was that come back. Lavigne learned that by hard experi- ence. An invincible HNghtweight chain- ion, he was finally matched against ysterious Billy Smith to fight for the welterweight title. The fight came off in San Francisco. Lavigne trained for that fight at the Ingleside roadhouse, a few miles out- side of the city. Reports came into the newspaper offices that the Kid was do- ing a tremendous amount of road work over the hills, but that he was at ihe same time consuming enough whisky to sink a battleship. Only a few days before the fight he got full of “red- eye’’ and thrashed a Sheriff or some local) officer who tried to restrain him. That nearly got Lavigne into trouble, but it was squared in some way, and on the night of the fight he was on déck. ..at Was one of the most exciting ring battles I ever went to ‘see. La- vigne, apparently in magnificent condi- tion, stood a head shorter than Smith. But he was all there with the fighting idea. Never taking a back step, he tore into the Mysterious One like a wildcat. He forced the fighting round after round, while Smith fought steadily with a skill rarely seen in the ring now- adays. Once, I femember, as they broke from a clinch, Smith threw everv pounce of his strength into a vicious up- percut. It barely grazed Lavigne’s jaw, and the Saginaw Kid stepped back. smiling, while the crowd yelped tn sur- prise and appreciation. But in the thirteenth round. white Lavigne was tearing in, Smith's right crossed him squarely on the tip of the chin. Lavigne didn’t go down. But he was stunned and practically out on his feet for a moment. Staggering away, he tried to bring his hands up to cover his jaw, while Billy Smith, following fast, grinned in derision, smashed viciously at Lavigne’s head and threw out side remarks to the crowd. I never saw a more vicious fighter in the ring than Smith was that night. | Layigne recovered enough to las the round out.

M'ALEER SEES FIRST DIVISION TEAM IN BROWNS|

; a ie i Acqiiisition of Charlie Jones and Arthur’ Brown, Added to Present Team, Satisfies Manager —American League Session Ends.

Browns would cut an important season. The trade that gave Charley their associates. Earlier in the day they had purchased A. G. Brown from Detroit, a young first baseman cerrying a glorious repu- ration. When Charley Jones was added to the St. Louis Club the other mag- i1ates sat up and took notice, and Wedges and McAleer departed for their homes with the broadest smiles of con- tentment. Charley Jones is as good an outfielder as there is in the American League to- day. He has the best throwing arm of any outfielder in the business, and he is stil a man young in years, and should have «a brilliant future ahead of him, 4It-.pleased McAleer to get this man-> bound to the St. louis squad, as he has wanted him for tWo seasons, Joe Cantillon, the manager of the Washington Club, kncws as well as McAleer the worth of Jones. The only renson he ever consented to the trade was because he and Jones do not agree on several little personal affairs, the latter having; even declared he would not play ball next season if he was under Joe Cantillon. Undoubtedly Jones will welcome the trade as much as the fans of St. Louis. Before he left for his home in Youngs- town, Maneser McAleer swilingly talked of his new p!layers. “T was especially glad to get Charley Jones,”’ he sald, “fas I consider him the greatest outfielder in the league today. Me will withcut doubt play in center field, and -I belleve he will be the making of our trio of outflelders. He ‘s a heady player as well as being a grind. fielder, and as a batstnan he fs equal to Pickering. On the bases he is a wonder, being one of the fastest men in the business. With Ferris, Williams and Hoffman, all star players and weil seasoned in fast company, I see no reason why we should be kept down In the second di- vision any longer.

The firm of Hedges & McAleer did as much business at the an- nual American League meeting up in Chicago as all the rest of the baseball magnates combined. When the session closed and the club owners separated there was generally remarked that the St. Louis figure in the pennant race next Jones to the Browns in place of It took place ing it nine games was not well taken because it would require too much time and travel should the series be between a Western and an Eastern® tea. President Johnson drew up a new rule to offer to the committee it its next session. It pertained to refusing to waive claim on players in order to secure them, and immediately after- ward farming them out. It was a di- rect slap at the practicc of Manager Canrillon, who grabbed off a few young stars from other major clubs and then asked waivers on the players at once, after which he farmed them out to his Minneanslis or some other club, to his advantage. The new rule will demand that if a club refuses to waive claim to a player and then asks waivers on that player within $0 days, the player shal) revert to the club which originally owned him upon the return of the purchase price, and the club then will have 10 days to dispose of the player dn any way he may choose. There was a little surprise shown in the selection of the board of directors for the coming vear, as the Washington elub was ignored and Boston was asked to serve again. Asa rule the four clubs that serve on the board one season give place to the other four for the following vear. but beeause of trouble between Owner Noyes of Washington and Presi- dent Johnson of the League the former was ignored this time and John I. Tay- ‘or, Johnson's stanch supporter, was named for another year. The Enmity of Noyes toward Johnson was plainly visible during the meeting, when the Washington owner refnsed to take an active interest in the businéss session, both he and Comiskey absenting themselves during a large part of the time on Wednesday. However, neither ene said a word against the Chief Ex- ‘utive. “rhe other members of the: league were algo quieter in their enthusiasm for Johnson this year, there being no reso- lutions offered to thank the leader for his work of the year, and nothing said of another raise fn salary.

PULLIAM GIVEN FURTHER POWER Can Do Everything but Suspen¢ Ball Players in National League.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—What has been known as the Fleishman resolution to preserve order on the ball field was made a section of the constitution of the National League, after a long de- bate in which President John T. Brush of the New York Club stood alone in opposition to the measure. The rule gives the president of the league absolute wer to fine and sus- pend players. e can inflict any pen- alty short of expulsion. Only the Board of Directors has power to expel a player. The vote on the passage of the amendment was 7 to 1 in favor, the New York Club casting the minor- ity vote. Deals Hang Fire. While there was much talk of possi- ble deals, nothing was done. McGraw and the Cincinnati officials were in con- ference for an hour, but the Cincinnati men, -would not accept McGraw’s offer to trade Roger Bresnahan, Bill Dahlen and Géorge Browne for George Schlei and Hans Lobert. One reason Cincin- nati will not take Bresnahan is that President Garry Herrmann has decided to make John Ganzel manager of the Reds next season. Since Joe Kelley has signed to man- age the Boston Club for two years, Fred Tenney is in the market for a trade or a sale. It is more than likely that he will succeed Dan McGann as the Giants’ first baseman next year. It is known that Kelley would like to have McGann and McGraw wants Tenney. The two managers will meet today to talk the matter over. Pirates Also Want Him, Pittsburg offered Catcher Phelps fer Tenney, but the offer was refused. The ballplayers who are attending the zession held an impromptn meeting in ‘‘Peacockialley.”” They gave their opin- fons of the new section of the constitu- tion, whieh, they claim, places them in the absolute power of the league presi- dent, without the privilege of appeal. It was suggested that a test case be made in the courts next suinmer if a player thinks he has been unjustly treated. SANDY FERGUSON-IS GIVEN BAD BEATING BY HARRIS Caught Out of Condition and Has Hard Work Lasting. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.—Sandy Ferguson of Boston was caught out of condition in the Broadway Athletic Club last night by Morris Harris, and had the bout gone a round or two longer than the six-round limit the Yankee would have been put to sleep. As it was, Ferguson assimilated so much pun- ighment that at the end of-the bout he had to take a rest of several minutes before leaving the ring. Jack O’Rrien and Bili Heveron, who will fight here tomorrow night, were in- troduced and Q’Brien was given a re- markable reception. BILLY GRUPP AGAIN A WINNER Receives Six-Round Decision Over Dick.

A i UNIMATICS SM

MAR \F OR Li *— - we Average 1037 in Victorious Series With the Grands—O’Fallon Turn on Fern Glens and Take Two Out of Three.

—_-— A searzon record was broken on the Grand alleys Thursday night when the Unimatics of the Sst. Levis Tenpin League averaged 1037. It is aA'%s8o Claimed that the mark is a city rec- ord. The Hyde Parks of the Palace League a short time ago averaged 1036, which has stood as the seagon’s mark. The Unimatics took three games from the Grands. The team came back into its own in great fashion. After @ fine showing in the first part of the first se- ries for the St. Louis League title the Unimatics backed up badly and were beaten out by the Burkes and tied by the Bankers for ‘second. Starting off the second series, the Unimatics dropped three games to the Ermantingers. The great work of the Unimatics Thursday night gives their friends hope that tey are again due to get into their stride. But for Coffman being unable to cxtcb the record breakine fever there

is no telling what aserage the team would have registered. Coffman's aver- cee} . Se was 174 1-2. The Grands were al- iowed 3% pimS handicap in each game, but were simply snowed wnder, the Uni- matics winning the first by 402 piis. Every man on the tears went over the 200 mark with’ the exception of Coft- man, who got a 169, hlen swung a 257 into the first game for the Uni- mities, and then quieted down to steady bowling in the :ext two games. Foth }feibert and Rothwell went over the 200 mark in all three games, Heibert aver- aging 223 and Rothwell 219 1-3. On the Palace alleys there was an- other surprise when the 0O’Fallons came out of their trance and won two games from the Fern Glens. Up to Thursday night the O’Fallons had won one game and lost 32. The ‘“‘joke’’ team got going with Tion.er Sanders in tlhe line-up. He averaged 217 and Kaiser and Meyer averaged 200. It was only hard luck that the Fern Glens won the middle game, the O’Fallons letting down for a few minutes and being nosed out by seven pins. The O’Fallons averaged

940 1-3, to 863 for the Fern Glens.

MONTE DALE GETS. DRAKE THOUGH ILL But Is Nearly Put Out in Fifth Round by Everett Gray.

Although Monte Dale was ill for al- most a week and refused to box a sche'l- uled exhibition Wednesday night, he met Everett Gray in a six-roun bout at Col- linsville, Ill., Thursday night, conceded his opponent at least six pounds in weight and but for one careless momen‘ near the end of the fifth round would have won. Harry Sharpe gave a draw deci- sion at the end of the sixth round, which was fair to'both men and pleased the majority of the crowd. Tommy Sullivan, Marshall Eaton and other friends of Dale wished him to call off the fight with Gray when he deciared that he was too ill to box an uxhilition three reunds with Cooney Kelly a* East St. Louis Wednesday. Dale had a $2 forfeit up and refused to give up the bout. The contest was not-much. Gray is a strong fighter whose only method is to walk in and try to batter his oppon- ent down. Dale made Gray miss time after time, but was also short with his lefts, and Gray has been carefully coached to avoid his rights. Dale had a lead on points in the latter part of the fifth round, when he forgot himself in a clinch for an instant. Gray cut loose with a short right that landed on Dale’s eye, and followed it up with a short left to the jaw. Dale dropped to the floor, but was up at the count of three. His eye was badly swelléd, but he managed to stay out the round. In the sixth Dale was weak, but a couple of lefts that Gray ran Into Kept the Collinsville boy from damaging his opponent to any extent. Dale also ex- hibited a nice knowledge of ring gener- alship in the final round. Tony Hatches put Sailor Walsh's shoulders to the mat in five minutes and again in 16 minutes in a wrest! ng match. Hatches weighed 220 poun's and Walsh 150. William Osborne anj Bob Blake boxed four rounds to a draw. BANS WILL NOT BACK PACKEY Colored Boy Draws Down $500 Forfeit for Nelson Match. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Joe Gans, the colored champion has withdrawn the $500 he deposited some time ago to back Packey McFarland in a match with Battling. Nelson. The time limit that Gans names has expired and the colored fighter has wired a local rep- resentative to get the money and for- ward it to him in Toronto, where he is now giving exhibitions in boxing. Harry Gilmore, McFarland’s manag- er, put up another $500, however, for the same purpose. Gans posted the money to match McFarland against Nelson at a weight of 133 pounds stripped, which the col- ored fighter insists is the true light- weight limit. This was the dist*nct stipulation that covered the $500. Battling Nelson, as soon as he heard of the challenge, covered the forfeit in a way, by having Jim May of Reno, Nev., post $500 with Jack Welch in San Francisco. Nelson immediately stated that the weight should be 131 pounds at 6 o’elock, or four hours be- fore fighting time. LOSING ELEVEN MUST GO.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—An offer of $100 as a bonus to any rider who would gain a lap on his fellows, made by an individual at the trackside suf- fering from an over-accumulation of wine and beer, may cost the life of Urban McDonald of this city.

He was too tired to keep it straight, and crashed into the trailing and was thrown three feet into the air and landed heavily on a epectator. In his flight he carried with him ten feet of the railing. “oth McDonald and the spectator were unconscious when picked up. Dr. Cramer quickly revived the spectator, who was only slightly shaken up, but the rider was hurried to the hospital. Doctors suy his case is serious. * At 10 o'clock today, the score was: Fogler.and Moran, Rutt and Stol had reeled off 1698 miles and eight laps.

PSB SIEEDPRED LLL LOLI LLP BA Ae RIEL AGN NR INTC ASH TENPIN LOCAL SEASON “BOOTS” DURNELL é AGAIN UNDER BAN Jockey Club Stewards to Refuse Entries Hereafter—Gates / May Rescue Him. Spec:al to the Post-Dispatch. * NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The Jockey Club stewards have. voted to refuse en- tries of horses owned by C. E. (Bocts) Durnell, the .moted young turfman, who was a part owner of Nealon when that horse won the Suburban Handicap last summer. This means that Durnell is now de- barred from racing in the . As there is a reciprocal understanding be- tween the Eastern racing authorities and the California Jockey Club, the Western Jockey Club and the American Racing Association, the three turf or- ganizations that contro! the eport in the West, it is probable that an order to the same effect will be issued against Purnell at all meetings where thorough- breds race. Just why the stewards decided to re- fuse in the future the entries of the Durnell horses could not be learned to- day. The Jocxey Club officials refuse to discuss the matter. But men well up in turf affairs said it was the outcome of ‘deveral features of PDurnell’s racing season, which was not satisfactory. His name was connected with the defeat of a horse at Sheepshead Bay last fall. Just what action, if any, Gates will take in the matter, is a matter of keen confecture in racing circles. Many who know Gates say that he would again go to the front and fight for Durnell. Gates has the utmost confidence in the voung turfman’s integrity. Speaking of Durnell, he ence said: “T have such faith tn his integrity that I would entrust him with the key io my private vault.” KETCHELL HAILED ON COAST AS BEST OF MIBDLEWEIGHTS Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. LOS ANGBELES, Cal., Dec. 13.—Billy (Young) Ketchell today is conceded to be the king-pin middleweight of the coast. He gained the decision over Joe Thomas in rounds of a grueling bat- tle last night. Withering blows, many of them de- livered as the two stood toe-to-toe, fin- ally wore down the spirit of Thomas, and after the fifteenth round it was only a question of whether he would be able to stay the limit. He did, but he was all in when the referee gave the decision to Ketchell. The men were bitter rivals and their personal enmity made them spring at each other like tigers when the gong sent them off. In the first round Ketch- ell floored Thomas; then sent him reel- ing to the ropes with body blows, but Thomas came back. Ketchell had Thomas bleeding badly in the second, but in the third’ Thomas gained new life and met Ketchel’s rushes with well-aimed body blows. sae got under the swings and gave back as good as he received. In the seventh he even had things his way for a while and drew claret. He boxed beautifully and landed time after time. But the terrific milling had wasted his strength, and when a terrific right to the jaw sent him to the canvas in the fifteenth he didn’t stand a ghost of a show. In the sixteenth he took a wonderful amount of punishment without flinching and through the other four rounds hung on purely through bulldog grit. — meee mend SPAGHETTI—ITALIAN STYLE.

As to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery it has a very large range of application, yet it is by no means rec- ommended as a “Cure-All.” It pos- sesses marvelous alterative, or blood properties and is at the same cleansing time a most invigorating tonic, or strength giver. It exerts a specific, seerneing. ‘soothing and healing aifact all the lining mucous membranes the system; hence its great curative va in’ all catarrhal affections, vo matter where located. In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is well to cleanse the pestages two or three — a day with Dr. Sage’s Catarch edy fluid, while persisting in the use of the “Golden Medical Discovery”

for its blood cleansing and specific cura- tive effects upon the diseased mucous membranes. it will cure a very large per cent of all cases, even after they uave reached the ulcerative, or chronic stage, and no matter of how many years’ standing they may be. It is equally efficacious in affections of the mucous lining of the larynx, bronchial and respiratory organs in general, thus curing bronchitis, laryngitis and other affections giving rise to obstinate, acute coughs following sudden colds, as hang-on coughs. It is not good in in the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor must the “Golden Medical Discovery” be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption in its advanced stazes—no medicine will Jo that, but jor all obstinate hang-on coughs due to laryngial or bronchial irritation and kindred affections of the throat, which, if neglected or badly treated, are likely | to lead up to consumption, the “Dis- covery” can be relied upon to produce the best curative results. The “Golden Medical Discovery” is, from its tonic and specific curative con- trol over mucous surfaces, especially efficacious in curing indigestion, dys- pepsia, weak stomach and “Liver Com- plaint.” or biliousness. Even ulcera- tion of the stomach and bowels has in thousands of cases been cured by it; also cbstinate chronic diarrhea, In addition to all the foregoing, not the least valuable of the marvelously efficacious properties possessed by the “Discovery” is the unequaled regulat- ing and strengthening effect exerted by it over the heart’s action. It has made some wonderful cures of very pro- nounced valvular and other affections of that organ. : The reason why “Golden Medical Discovery” cures so wide a range of diseases is made plain in a booklet sent free on request mailed to Dr. R. VY. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. send for it. The powerful alterative or blood purifying properties possessed by the “Discovery” will naturally suggest its use for the cure of blotches, pimples, eruptions; as eczema, salt-rheum and other skin affections, in al] of which it has made remarkable cures; also in scrofulous sores and old, open ulcers, or ge sores. To heal the latter, use Dr. Pierce’s All-Healing Salve as a lo- cal Serta while taking the “Gold- en Medical Diseovery” to correct the blood and cleanse the system. A box will be mailed to any address on re- ceipt of fifty-four cents in stamps. If your druggist don’t have it in stock, address Dr. Pierce, as above.

The ownership of a fee in the down- town business district, bringing in a revenue from a 99-year lease, is the best investment that one can make, accord- ing to James E. Fogg. What St. Louis most needs to enhance its commercial importance is a@ deep waterway to the Gulf, is the opinion of Paul Jones. And what the business men of St. Louis most need to assure the success of their en- terprises are integrity, industry and knowledge of commercial conditions ac- cording to Rev. Father P. F. O’Reilly. These opinions were advanced Thurs- day night at the second of the five win- ter banquets to be given at the Planters Hotel under the auspices of the St. Louls Real Estate Exchange. The speeches followed a musicale and vaude- ville performance by ‘“‘the Royal Ger- man Band,’’ composed of Exchange members. Other speakers were Henry Korn, J. P. Farrington,.

Mrs. Charles Van Dyke, aged 16, who was until Monday Miss Grace Greear, 231 South Kansas street, Edwardsville, and who displeased her parents by mar- rying on a week's acquaintance a man they had refused to let her receive at their home, is trying unsuccessfully to win parental pardon. — Van Dyke and Miss Greear became ac- qainted 10 days ago, and it was a whirl- wind courtship. The girl disappeared last Monday, and made an unsuccessfu!] attempt with Van Dyke to obtain a mar- riage license in East St. Louis. At Belle- ville better luck attended their efforts. Mrs. Greear received a letter from her daughter Thursday asking if she might come home for her clothes. “If she will give me her address, I will send the clothes,’’ Mrs. Greear told a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘but she can- not come home on any pretext.” The letter was written from Spring- field, 111. : The Best Christmas Gift.

NEW \YORK, Dec. 18.—Prof. Vladimir Sviatowsky, who occupies the chair of Sociology in the University of St. Pe- tersburg, arrived in New York yester- day. Within a few hours after his ar- rival he Was “‘buncoed” out of §750. He was escorted about the city by a young Englishman whose acquaintance the professor made on shipboard. The Englishman stopped at the office of a diamond broker. Returning in a mo- ment the Englishman said excitedly that he had an. opportunity to purchase a fine diamond for less than it was worth, but was short $750. The professor gave him the money and held the box supposed to contain the diamond while the Englishman went back to pay the money to the dealer.

ERKER’S Opera Removal Sale, What About [hose Sweet Little Castor-Oil-Pills? —-... TAm Going to Tell You! I Am “The Man Behind the Pills,” and You, Every One of You, Should Know.

4 To begin, my own family, my friends and acquaintances, and I, myself, used these Sweet Little Castor-Oil Pills long before they were placed on sale to the public. Without exception, in a single instance of hundreds they proved their absulute merit, worth, and above all, pleasant effectiveness. I believe this fact is a guarantee, that is more convincing than a bond, and I sincerely recommend these sweet little pills to all who are afflicted with ‘‘slow moving,’’ inactive or constipated bowels and all attendant iils, such as biliousness, nausea, loss of ap- petite, foul breath, nervous headache, drowsiness, languor, malaria, gout, rheu- matism, boils, pimples, carbuncles, ulcers, salt rheum, fever and ague, Kidney and Liver disorders, tired feeling in spite of the will, heavy feeling in stomach, belching and heartburn, mental sluggishness, sleeplessness, nervousness, thinness and womanly derangements due to constipation. Any or all of these symptoms may be present if one is afflicted with cor- stipation and a consequent impure condition of the blood. I have witnessed many remarkable restorations to health—and health is a boon, I think—from the use of my Castor-Oil-Pills, as they remove the cause, which is, nine times out of ten, constipation. If you have none of these symptoms, and I sincerely hope you have not, you probably need a good physic—a pleasurable physic, that acts as a tonic and puri- fier. Cathartics, Purges, Salts, Calomel and the like always weaken other parts of the system to flush the bowels. I wouldn’t use them again for gold or pre- cious stones—since I’ve found a formula of Castor Oil, Sulphur, Wild Lemon, Black Cherry Root, Ginger and the like of which cannot be obtained except un- der the registered name of ‘‘Blackburn’s Castor-Oil-Pills.’’ I want you to call at any drug store’and get a 10-cent or 25-cent package. Remember the name, and get what you ask for, and oblige “a

WALL ST. COMMENT The directors of the Westinghouse Air Brake Co, have declared the regular quarterly divi- dend of 9% per cent and an extra dividend of 2% per cent, both payable Jan. 31, 1008. The directors also acted on the resolution of the stockholders passed Dec. 3, increasing the capital stock from $11,000,000 to $14,000,000. Out of the inereaze a 2 per cent stock divi- dend was declared. , A Stock Ex #eat was sold Thursday for $63,000, The Jast: previous sale made was at $60,000, The conttonea selling of American stocks by ‘London, which in the lest week has in- velved approximately’100,000 shares, gave the market its first push down the toboggan slide. . Disappointment over the delay in the elimination of the currency premium and the return of ban&ing conditions to normal chan- nels helped if the downward movement, but the fact that the market’s recovery was ac- complished within two hours proved conclusively that confidence in the situation is _ Stowing stronger. Western *unton’s scrip dividend of 114 per cent wes regarded in the same light as an openly declared reduction in a cash dividend as the scrip was not selable at par. In censideration of the high rates on call and time money, many of the leading stock commission houses encouraged their customers to sell oh every bulge rat re than to borrow money ahd increase ~ operations on the long side of the mar The sale at public auction of an account for $5000 in the Knickerbocker Trust Co., at @& cents on the dollar reflected merely the pressing need of a denositor who could not afford to wait for a final settlement of that institution's business.
