Two posses, one led by a Sheriff and the other composed of farmers, are beal- ing through the wild and densely wood- ed country around Pleasant Cove, Ill, 46 miles north of Jerseyville, in searc: ‘of a man who attacked Miss Gertrude Healey, a pretty school teacher and church worker. It is believed the man is surrounded tn the thick forest along the Lilinois river bluffs and cannot escape the posscs which are gradually closing in. The attack on Miss Healey caused ex- citement in the thinly settled district and every able-bodied man and boy for miles around has joined in the ma hunt. Walks Two Miles Daily. Miss Healey is teacher at the Pleasani Cove Public School and boards with the family of William Groppel. Each day after dismissing her classes she walks the two miles from her school to her boarding place. The road is rough and lonesome and in many places it passes between high bluffs and rocky defiles Over the telephone Saturday Miss Healey told a Post- Dispatch reporter how she was attacked and how she fought off the man. “tf remained unusually late at the school,” she said, ‘“‘and it was after. 5 o'clock when 1 left there for home.

In making the flop and proving that an old adage is no nature fake, this worm was aided by 4 most just Judge, a Daniel come to judgz- ment in the person of Magistrate O’ Reilly. With tears in his eyes, William Davis told the Court that his Wife made him put on an apron, get down on his knees ‘And I’m tired of doing it,’’ he added plaintively. Then came the judgment. “Young man,’ sald the Magistratc. ‘Don’t you scrub floors for your wife. “Don’t you give her all your money. And here’s another good tip: If yo: can’t live peaceably in the same house with vour mother-in-law, throw her out of the house.”’ “I will,” said Davis, reaching for his hat and hurriedly starting. for home.

Culture and careful training made the dog valuable and Brandt has spent $40 trying to get the dog back, but he can’t. Gray saw possibilities in the anitual. He christened it Pete and sent it up the Illinois River to Kampsville to be trained as a coon hunter. It didn’t take Pete any time to learn the trick and soon he was famous as the best coon dog in that neck of the woods. That made Brandt feel. so put out that he tiled suit to recover Pete from Gray.

It. was announced at the White House Saturday, according to a disputch to the Post-Dispatch from Washington, that the President has. decided to reappoint Frank Wyman as Postmaster at St. Louis and thus end the long fight for the office. The dispateh further stated that the President announced he woula send the name of Mr. Wyman tor confirmation Monday. Confirmation was obtained from Post- master-General Meyer, -who said: “This is merely in line with the pol- icy introduced two years ago of retain- ing in. office postmasters of presiden- tial as well as fourth-class offices who are now performing their duties satis- factorily.”’ Mr. Wyman Its at present in Washing- ton, having been summoned there by the officials of the Postoffice Depart- ment to answer charges brought against him by the St. Louis congressional dcle- gation in Washington. The charges, boiled down, merely ac- cuse the Postmaster of refusir.g to per- mit Republican politicai leaders In St Louis to dictate the conduct of his of- fice. Won't Concede Defeat. Republican politicians here will not concede that Mr. Wyman is to be re- appointed until his name is actually sent to the Senate. When Mr. Wyman is reappointed and confirmed he will have the unusual sat- isfaction of having been reappointed to a Federal office that pays $6000 a year over the combined protests of all three Repnblican congressmen from St. Louis. of the only Republican United States Senator from Missouri and of the city and State Republican committees. Mr. Wyman.was appointed Postmas- ter four years ago because the Presi- lent desired a business mian to succeed Fred. W. Baumhbhoff. His name was tuggested by his brother, Surgeon-Gen- eral Walter Wyman of the United States Marine Corps in Washington. At this enc he was triorsed hy Chaties Nagel, Franklin Ferriss and other influ- ential Republicans. It was Mr. Wyman's first experi- ence in politica.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14—Testimony that John R. Walsh's violations of the law were knéwn [to the Comptroller of the Currengy for three years and that he was given every opportunity to repair the bank before it Was forced into liquidation was drawn from Bank Ex- aminer Charles H. Bosworth today by Government attorneys. Bosworth read correspondence between Walsh and Federal officials. In a number of letters wag the state- ment that. the examiner wag aware Walsh had exceeded the legal maxi- mum he was privileged to lend any officer of the banhk. In several communications the threat was made that unless Walsh reduced loans to the legal amount, the Comp- troller would™be forced to take action. These warnings were given in 1903, 1904 and 1906, As no improvement was shown in the latter year the banks ‘Were closed and Walsh's indictment fol- lowed. The communications also revealed that the officials at Washington were aware of the use of the ‘“‘memorand- um - notes” by which Walsh is said to have operated. Walsh's attorneys in- terjected the aSsertion that such notes are used jin a majority of the banks and are permitted without any ques- tion as to their legality. The notes were described as a convenient means for “striking balances.” Besides loans aggregating $3,000,- 000, the examiner knew of the 17 notes for $92,000 each, the letters showed. The maximum amount Walsh could have loaned legally to any of- ficer of the bank was $100,000 Before and after Bosworth left the stand Walsh greeted him cordially.

Official Hears Shot Was Not Fired in Barney Home as Claimed.

' By teased Wire From the New York Bureau ef the Post-Dispatch. ' NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Coroner Har- | Barwer has been investigating the ru- mors that Charies T. Barney, president ef the Knickerbocker Trust Co. and brether-in-law of the late William C. , Whitney, was shot by an enemy an: | did not commit suicide in his home at '@ Hprk avenue, Nov. 14. + Coroner’s physician, Dr. Philip IP. O'Hanlon, immediately after viewing the body of the banker, announced that , he could not have inflicted the wound which caused his death. At the in- ‘guest Dr. O’Hanlon testified under oath: “It would be impossible for a man ‘contemplating suicide to hold a piste] "in his right hand and turn the point s0 the bullet would strike himself on a level with the navel and take an up- ward course. In an experience cover- ‘ing 14 years in the Coroner’s office and the performance of over six thousand autopsies, I have never seen any such wound as that made with suicidal in- tent, and I will say now, I don't be- lieve it was such a wound.” Club Gossip of Scandal, ; Thirty minutes after his examination. ,of the wound Dr. O'Hanlon made a diagram of the course of the bullet, which has convimced surgeons who have had experience with gunshot weunds that Mr. Barney was murdered. It has been gossip in many clubs for weeks that Mr. Barney was shot in a house in Fifty-seventh street and was taken to his own home in the effort to cover up a scandal. The Coroner sum- moned one prominent man who had re- peated this story to his office a day or two ago and put him under eath. This gentleman said he had heard the story several times in the New York Athletic Club. He could not recall any _@ne man who had spoken of it, but said there were several who had discussed it in his hearing. Coroner Harburger has never been satisfied with the attitude of the law- yers, physicians and members of Mr. Barney's household whom he inter- viewed in the heuse after being notified of Mr. Barney’s death. Stenographer’s Transcript Disputed. Coroner Harburger has ordered Fred Baker, the official stenographer of the Corener’s court, to furnish a full trans- -eript of the testimony taken at the in- quest Nov. 26. Mr. Baker furnished a cendensation in which appear statements at variance with the recollection of those whe heard Dr. Vixon and Dr. Stimson on the stand. an the stenegrapher’s transcript of the evidence filed with the inquisition pa- pers Dr. Dixon is made to say under eath: “The nightshirt and undershirt had been perferated by the bullet because they were leoked at very carefully by Dr. Stimson and myself.” Dr. Stimson’s testimony, as reported Stenographer Baker, reads: examined the shirt carefully and I find no hole in it at all.

FUNERAL COST HIGHER ALL BUT -O0T-WARMER — East Side Undertakers Say Labor’s Demands Have Forced Advance.

Alas, poor Yorick! The cost of dying has so greatly increased in East St. Louis that it is almost impossible for any but the wealthy to have nice, comfortable funerals like those which their forefathers enjoyed. An East St. Louis man can’t even come to St. Louis to have his funeral without paying the bridge arbitrary. Prices for everything connected with funeral services have advanced, with the single exception of footwarmers for the mourners. ; Under the new schedule of prices, put inte effect by the East Side under- takers Saturday, the price of carriages is advanced from $5 to $6 and the price of hearses from $10 to $12. , Material Costing More. Members of the East St. Louis Livery- men, and Undertakers’ Association say that the demands of labor and the price of materials has forced this raise upon them. A week ago the Carriage Drivers’ Unien asked for and received an ad- vance in salary from $12.50 to $13.50 a4 week. They teok in the hostlers, harness cleaners and buggy washers at the same scale. The ‘“‘bosses’’ held a meeting and de- cided that the enly way to offset .the wage increase would be to charge more for carriages and hearses. “And that wasn’t the enly reason, either,” said one of the undertakers Saturday. “Everything is se high now that it is almost impessible to make a geod living out of funerals. Caskets, coffin hardware and trimmings haye advanced about 25 per cent in the last year. , “Lumber is up 20 per cent, so that it costs about $2 more than it fermerly did to make a plain pine box to put a cas- ket in. We used to buy feed much cheaper. The price of oats has ad- vanced from 32 cents to 58 cents a bushel and the price of corn from 4 cents to 60 cents. We can’t feed our horses on breakfast food. “Labor in our stables is at least 10 per cent higher than it used te be.

“Mrs. Josephine G. Meehring, alias Meyer, alias Floerchinger, alias Maul- hardt,’’ is named in this manner as de- fendant in a divorce suit filed in the Circuit Court Saturday by Joseph The suit brings again ~be- fore the public a woman whe-has had complicated matrimonial expericnces. Most of-these are set forth in the pe- tition. Moehring says he and Mrs. Moehring were married June 24, 1896, and that they lived together until May, 1898. Nev. ly, 1904, he says, she sued him for di- vorce. Jan. 29, 1905, they talked over their troubles and she promised to dis- miss her suit. A few days later he read in the newspapers that his wife had ebtained a divorce. He asked her about it and she denied that she had been in ceurt and said that if a decree had been granted it was by an error. Under the circumstances, he Says, they agreed to live together, as if no diverce had been granted.. To ap- pease possible adverse public sentiment they went to St. Charles and obtained a marriage license, but were not remar- ried. This was Feb. 6, 1905. Maulhardt Marriage. Moehring says they lived together un- til March 25, 1905, when he learned that his wife had, during three days that she was absent from home, from March 12 to 15, gone to Unien, Mo., with Emil W. Maulhardt, and he says a marriage li- cense was issued to them there. He says that en March 25 she told him te ge away until she got her rela- tions with anether man straightened out. He did se, he avers, and she toek her furniture te the heme of Maulhardat. The allegation is made in the pe- tition that Mrs. Moehring-Meyer- Floerchinger-Maulthardt has gone through another pretended marriage with Henry C. Meyer at Granite City, where she is now living. One child was born of the Moehring marriage—Helen Agnes, now 8 years old. He asks that the divorce ob- tained by Mrs. Moehring In 1905 be annulled and that a divorce be given to him with the custody of the child. The defendant has figured in many suits. She twice sued Maulhardt for abandonment and he sued her twice for divorce. His first suit was dis- missed. He obtained a divorce from her the second time on the ground that she had another husband, Moehr- ing, living. A baby of which she claiméd Maul- hardt was the father has figured in the cases at different intervals. .He denied that the child was his and al- leged that she borrowed it for the purpose of getting larger alimony from him when the divorcee case was pending.

Friday, almost directly in front of the Acme Garage, 3944 Olive street. Dr. Case was driving his runabout west on the north side of the street, but turned south into the north car track to pass a wagon. After passing the wagon, he started to turn off the cer track, but his engine became disabled and the machine would not move. Mrs. Case, who is in delicate health, was in the ma- chine, wrapped in two. large blankets. Dr. Case saw a car a half block be- hind and ran back to flag it. But the car ran into the automobile, The machine was knocked 20 feet for- ward and Mrs. Case was thrown about six feet into the air. She had arisen on seeing the car, but was not able to shake off her heavy wraps and jump. Boy Slips, Falls to Death. Hugh B. Harren, 17, whose _ foot slipped on the snowy pavement when he tried to board a trolley car at the front platform, died at the City Hos- pital Saturday. He was on his way to night school when the accident occurred at Leffing- well avenue and Olive street. As he fell his head struck the side of the car and he sank unconscious to the street. His skull was fractured and there was a cut on his forehead. Snow Falls All Night. Snow fell steadily all night. The storm struck St. Louis at dark Friday and had spent its force by 8 a. m.

Mr. Cramer, however, voted with his colleagues to accept the report.

And the lives that are intruded upon are not for the public probe, for the un- fortunates seem to take their poverty and their suffering as a matter of course and not a thing to be bettered by publicity.

The disappearance of a diamond ring and the presence of a scar on the fore- head of “Brownie” Sawyer have caused relatives of the young woman to ques- tion the Coroner’s jury’s verdict of sul- cide by carbolic acid poisoning. Mrs. Cc. L. Currier of Beatrice, Neb., and J. G. Sawyer of Omaha, who came to the city Saturday for the inquest, ex- press a determination to press the in- vestigation further. An explanation of these two points, they say, will go far toward solving the mystery surrounding the death of the elegantly gowned young woman in Forest Park Thursday morn- ing. Frances Sawyer owned two almost identical diamond rings, each set with three diamonds. She wore both these rings when she visited Mrs. Currier last June. One was among the effects when the body was taken in charge by the Coroner. By testimony in connection with the cese, which substantiated the fact that Frances Sawyer usually wore both rings, it is thought that the motive for her suicide may be explained if the ring can be found. One theory is that the girl may have returned it to a wealthy broker whom her friends say jilted her. Disowned After Marriage. “IT cannot believe that Pearl, who was my baby, could have committed suicide,” Mrs. Currier said to a Post- Dispatch reporter Saturday. “She never in her life, to my knowledge, suggested such a thing. When my mother died years ago she left Pearl, then a tiny girl, to my care and I cared ror her and sent her to school until she was married. My father, who now lives in Chicago, disowned her for that marriage and four years ago she divorced William Ostrander, her husband. “One reason why I am not convinced that Pearl committed suicide is be- cause she confided to my sister, Mrs. W.

The direction of traffic cannot be controlled be- yond certain physical limitations. It cannot be forced and held in unnatural channels, but, like water, will find its way around a dam or burst a passage elsewhere. Traffic from the interior and the West—where

29wn weight and motion force other outlets than the inadequate and choked transportation arteries to New York, whose chief claim, according to James J. Hill, is that it is “the dearest place to Jo business.” Mr. Hill powerfully emphasizes the fact that Atlantic seaboard have not expanded propor- tionately with the volume of freight demanding sutlet, but that only the profits of transportation have swelled in response to the pressure. “To many parts of the West,’ observes the master of railroading, “St. Louis is as convenient From there to New Orleans is the Mississippi. * * * Can you imagine the effect of fleets of modern steel barges carrying thousands of bushels of grain, running down a 14-foot channel in the Missis- sippi?” His graphic summing up of conditions and his orophecy of revolutionary changes in the traffic system serve to mark the conflict of interest be- ing to the Lakes-to-Gulf propaganda: Through will exert all of its power and influence to main- tain the existing profitable status quo of trans- portation involving opposition to the Mississippi movement from first to last. It is by no means necessary or proper to look upon the conflict of interests as a sectional divis- ion or to view it with the bitter opposition to Kastern enterprises which tinctures Mr. Hill’s observations. But it should be regarded in the light of the great facts which are plain to any eye and which tell the story of themselves. A deepened Mississippi will come only after a tug of war between contending motives of in- terest. It will not come to the West as a gratuity, 4 voluntary presentation from the East. ° It will not come through suasion or mere elo- quence, and this is what its friends should have in mind at the outset, as well as the fact that the movement is susceptible of stbtle betrayal veteran foes. To co-ordinate and successfully wield all of the cure a deepened Mississippi will require states- manship and fighting generalship every step of the way. a /}., >. — The suggestion of John Temple Graves that Mr. Bryan follow Mr. Roosevelt’s example in

PASSING JUDGMENT ON THE SALOON. | “Prohibition is threatened in the State and will become an accomplished fact,” said the late grand jury in its report, “if the liquor interests are not divorced from politics. They are too largely rep- resented and it will be safer for them as well as best for the public if there shall be a decided decrease in their political activities.” This is something like holding a pistol close to a man’s head -and threatening to shoot if he makes a move to save himself, but there are truth and reason and justice in the grand jury’s statement. The saloon and the saloon keeper have long oc- eupied a conspicuous place in politics, partly be- cause they have profited by it and partly be- cause many of the people have found it con- venient to make use of them. In the country the tavern is political headquarters and if the keeper have elements of popularity, as is usually the case, and an ambition in that direction, he may easily aspire to minor office. In large sections of a city the saloon is the only public house, and ic naturally becomes a rallying point. Probably there would be no great outcry against the saloonkeeper in politics if he did not happen in too many cases to be of a low type, immoral, sordid, ignorant and corrupt. Not all of our politicians who come under this classi- fication are saloon keepers by any means, but when to all these is added a hateful occupation the indictment seems to be complete. Back of the saloon keeper are powerful inter- ests possessing wealth and respectability which should be able to exert a wholesome influence upon him and his kind. In most places these in- terests seem to have preferred to find represen- tatives in public life in the persons of saloon- keepers and so the combination between financial strength and moral weakness has been close and frequently scandalous. Brewers and distillers cannot be driven out of politics any more than lawyers or farmers can be, and to threaten them with destruction is most certainly to send them into politics more fiercely than ever, but they can be persuaded to mend their ways. They enjoy vast privileges and they owe much to their fellow men. Some of them have recently shown a proper appreciation of their responsibilities as well as their perils. If all would do so they would save themselves and the people a great deal of trouble. There is not much doubt that the present pro- hibition movement in the South and West is aimed more particularly at the saloon than it is at the use of liquor. Saloons are voted out in many places where liquor still is consumed in the usual quantities. If the wise men at the head of the liquor business would be honest with themselves and others, they would willingly ad- mit that there is a reason for this condition of affairs. The conviction is growing that the tough sa- loon, the degraded saloon keeper and the vicious saloon politician and office holder are directly traceable to the support and sympathy which they receive from liquor interests higher up. It is dif- ficult to reach these evils through popular action. A brewery or distillery, or a combination of the two might put many of them out of business in short order. The liquor interests have trified with public opinion for a long time. They have put forward their worst instead of their best. If they do not relish the judgment which is being visited upon them they should ¢all in their plug uglies and crooks and put forward as their representatives men of a superior grade. They have plenty of them. ~~ » » * rw LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Christmas Holidays. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

American liberty I have ever read in any St. Louis newspaper. You are right, we must be freed from the thralidom of all ecclesiastical laws or our republic will become an empty, cruel hoax. Religious bigots are sapping the foundations of our national life, as they have already half-strangled liberty as it is. We talk glibly of American patriotism and praise the founders of our republic, Seemingly not realizing that every enactment having the slightest taint of re- ligious intolerance is a deadly thrust to nullify the freedom they established. EB. #& &. Jim Crow Laws. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have read your editorial on the “Jim Crow’ law of Oklahoma; also a letter signed ‘‘W. A. Chesterton,” condemning it. I must confess to some prejudice against negroes, which I try to overcome, but Mr. Chesterton's letter is unreasonable to the point of fanaticism. He asks how the man who wrote the editorial would like to have his family on a sleeper “with a nigger in the same car with the thermometer about 106 in the shade.” Yet, on all sleeping cars I have seen, colored porters are employed, and no white passenger objects to them. The reason is obvious. The porter or conductor is Supposed to be clean and well. behaved. This is the point to be observed. A dirty, ill-behaved white person would be as obnoxious on a sleeping car as a dirty, ill-behaved negro. And the clean, polite colored porter would be perfectly justified in refusing admittance to the dirty, ill-man- nered white person, WHtid MAN, te Organ Newspapers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

THE TRUTH ABOUT NEW BOOKS. What Reviewers for the Post-Dispatch Have to Say About Recent Publications.

aE APOLEON BONAPARTE said that an army marched on its stomach. It N is well known that war is made on money; yet so great is the pageant- ry of military strife that the man or the men who provide the resources are rarely heard of. Robert Morris, the financier of the American Revolution, passed many of his later years in Jail as a debtor. He is almost unknown to- day, but in his time he was of more importance to the patriot cause than any of the unfformed heroes, excepting only George Washington. ‘The same forgetfulness has attached itself to Jay Cooke, the chief finan- cier of the Civil War period. A remarkable man in many ways, he was pre- eminent as a banker. He had ideas. He had enthusiasm. He had energy. ‘He had faith. He had loyalty. He was worth an army corps to the Union ecausé more than once. He had a long, a varied and an honorable career. He died two years ago, an old man, reduced in fortune, and almost forgotten by his countrymen. In two solid volumes, which are none too large to recount the story of a strong and useful man's life, Dr. Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer gives a detailed and graphic biography of Mr. Cooke which cannot fail to take a high place in American literature The story is forceable, eloquent and ansorbingly inter- esting, and, moreover, it is true. No one knowing the history of the Civil War only in ite military and political aspects can be said to be familiar with the real struggle until] he has made himself acquairied with Jay Cooke's career. The work is equally iluminating in its treatment of the spectacular uperations » ot this financier in his later and more unfortunate years. (George W. Jacobs &

Were ii not for the disrespectful tone in which Plechanoff speaks of men like Proudon, Kropotkin, Stirner, etc., one could be “persuaded to think the booklet a valuable addition to the library of social and eet * evonomic literature.

Another baseball league is likely to be organized this winter. It will not be an outlaw organization and it will not try to cut into the profits of the other leagues. The league is to be known as the Col- cred National League and will be com- posec of colored teamm from several of the principal cities of the country. A meeting has been ca'led in India- napolis on Dee. 18, when representa- tives from many of the leading cities will be present. Among the cities which have been named as probable members of the circuit are: Cleveland, Cincin- nati, Chicago, 8t. Louis, Pittsburg, »Louisville, Nashville, Detroit, Indianap- olis and Columbus.

AMERICAN LEAGUE MEN TO - MEET IN NEW YORK NEXT a A

— Frank: Farrell Declares T hey Must Flutter in Gotham or Take a Back Seat. — ieeeeenaane ee |

It is quite likely that the American League will hold its next annual winter meeting in New York instead of Chi- cago. The point was brought up and discussed thoroughly by the magnates at the session just closed in Chicago and the general opinion was that New York will get the next meeting. President Farrell of the New York club was the instigator of the plan. He declared that the American League should hold its sessions or at least a part of them in the East, because the general public down there were getting the idea that the American League was more of a Western organization than a representative American body. Need More Prominence. The National League, holding its meetings in New York, of course was Lrought mere prominently bifore the public in the press, and Farrell con- iended that it was damaging to the American League to not bring itself be- fore the people of the Ea3t as well as those of the West. There has been much talk. of moving the Americen League headquarters from Chicago to New York, but that is not likely tc take place. However, if the league holds one sessio: there and the succeeding year should meet in Chi- eago, the public would then be brought to realize the importanec of the league as aitruly national body. Club Owners Favor It, Many of the club owners agreed with arrell on the point and it is quite cer- igin that next December will see the magnates gathered in Gotham with all the pride and flutter that the National League has shown this winter at its session in the big Fifth avente hotel. As was announced in the sporting edl- BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY- tion of the Post-Dispatch of Friday, Owner Hedges of the Browns and Man- ager McAleer have finally agreed on the spring training plans, and the team will make the trip South to Shreveport. Before this trip, however, all of the old men and some of the younger ones will be assigned to drink the pluto of West Baden for a week or ten days. McAleer believes like Frank Chance of the Cubs, that there {ts nothing quite so good for a starter in training as the water of West Baden, and he will take all those who show themselves. over- weight to the popular Indiana revert. Will Arrange Games, Hedges is going to begin at once to arrange some spring exhibition ganies with teams of the Southern League. Shreveport now is a member of the Texas League and, of course, severa) exhibition contests will be played with that club, just to get the fellows start- ed at the game. After ten days or more of practice at the Northern Louisiana town, the Browns are quite likely to break into the New Orleans club. However, the games that are of the most interest on the trip are to be with Memphis, as the Browns are always a big drawing card in that city, and as the team will have had probably three weeks of training before it strikes Mem- phis it will be in some sort of shape to play summer ball. No exact dates have been made for the trip as yet, but the boys will doubt- less start for West Baden about March 1. Then with the work down in the South they should be in pretty fair }shape for the anti-season games with

the Cardinals in this city.

Pegged on the Bases

Brown, the new first baseman of the Browns, is hailed as a wonder by men who have seen him pla* in the Eastern League. . Frank Farrell of the New York Americans says he has been in- formed that Brown is far ahead of any of the first basemen of the Eastern or- ganization. Hughey Jennings has signed a fat con- tract with Detroit for the next two years. He believes that Thomas, the new catcher for New York, will be the only addition to his champions for the coming season. Jake Stahl declared during the Aieri- can League meeting that he was giad to get the chence to play with New York next season. He will dispose of his in- terests in the South Chicago ball club. The National and American leagues are likely to conflict in the matter of changing the world’s series from seven to nine games.

New York and Boston Make Trade Involving Eight Different Players. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.)

The exchange was effected by John J. McGraw, manager of the New York club, and Joseph Kelly, the new man- ager of the Boston Club, who were in conference for nearly an hour. Several other deals for exchange of players were under consideration, but none was consummated. Several of the magnates left for their homes to- night. Business Is Completed. The business transacted at the league meeting included the adoption of an amendment to the constitution providing that waivers of players once requested cannot be withdrawn. The magnates agreed that the maxi- minum price at which a player might be purchased should be $1600 instead of $1000, the previous amount. ‘ The new Board of Directors mei after the adjournment of the league, and increased President Pulliam’s sal- ary $2000.

The decreased deticit of $6,100,000 vas about the same as last week's, and would undoubtedly have been very much larger but for the surrender of reserve money te the treasury in subscription for the new Government securities. Here, then, is visible and acknowl- edged operation of this government plan in the direction of hindrance to the bank recovery. Next week, when part of the cash thus subscribed returns in the form of public deposits with the banks far greater reduction of the deficit should be witnessed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 10 a. m.—Weak- ness was again apparent at the opening of the market this morning. With only two exceptions the standard rail stocks sold slightly off their close. These ex- ceptions were St. Paul and Reading, the former gaining % and the latter % of a point. he recessions, however, were emalil, averaging about 4%. Sugar was again the weak spot in the industrials, and made another new low record since 1900 in the first ‘half dozen sales. It opened at 98%, % of a point lo ver than its close, and in the fourth quotation was at 92%. The liquidation in sugar was, of course, reflected in the other industrials, and they, too, sold down in the first half hour. Narrowness and irregularity marked the early course of the market, and the indications pointed to still lower prices. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—12:30 "the market closed with few change~ from the opening quotations. The limi: of gains and recessions did not reach % in any one gnourity Towards the close the trading elerrent started closing its short contracts. This covering mov.ment carried prices in some cases fractionally above Friday’s close, but there were enough declines to make the result of the day irregulat, vend the tone was dull.

General Banking News. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—As to New York, we find from the statement Just compiled by the clearing house that the total cash on hand is decreased by about $43,000,000, When we consider, however, how great have been the receipts of cash at that point within the period, from abroad from the United States Treasury, this loss fs a striking testi- mony to the liberality of the banks In meet- ing demands. ana CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Caah reserves at Chi- cago appear to be somewhat better on the whole than at New York or St. Louis. There are several causes for this better position, The use of the clearing house check at Chi- cago has enabled the banks to keep consider- able money in reserve, while on the other hand they have imported an unusual amount of gold. That they paid out liberally on in- terior requirementts must be assumed from the comparative absence of critictam. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1i4.—Directors of the Girard Trust Co., Philadelphia, have de- clared the regular semi-annual dividend of 12 per cent, payable Jan. 2, as registered Dec. 14. Books remain open.

AVAL OFF CRS DANCE AND TELL PALS GOOD-t Farewell Ball Given by the Army Men About to Be- gin Cruise. JACK TARS CELEBRATE

Several Saloons in Norfolk Close When Supplies Are Exhausted. Special Dispatch from a Staff Corre- spondent of the Post-Dispatch. OLT PCINT COMFORT, Va., Dec. I4. ~The colored citizens of Old Point Com- fort, Hampton, Newport News and Nor- folk, are in a sort of a trance today Such goings on they haven't looked upcn since the Civil war. Last night the; peeped through the spacious windows of the Chamberlain Hotel and saw morc gallant young men in full dress uniforri and charming youcg women in undress uniform than they ever saw oiitside illustrated portrayals of an iraugural ball at Washrington or the coronation * of a Crar of Russia. This is not a bad description of the “good-by and God bless you” bell which the Army people gave to send off their naval relatives last night. It was « mest brilliatt function. Five hundred aqrare-jawec, srroctl-shaven offiecrs, with cheeks tanned to a pink leather, showed off as fine a combination of gold lace and sleek dress clothes as. was ever placed on view in this democratic country. - Saloons Put Out ef Business. The dancing, which was only a smal!, if necessary, adjunct to the s-«nd-off, broke out at intervals in the grand ball- room of the hotel, but there was a great dea! more doing in various ways. The boatswain of the Connecticut is authority for the statemeni that ‘‘about half the liquor saloons of Norfolk have been put out of business.’”’ He doesnt mean that the sailormen'rough-housed them, but bought them out. If you could see some of the cargoes being in- ternally conveyed aboard the war flee’ every night of late vou would know what he meant. One sailorman who un- #teadily worxed his way from the Nor- folk boat across the Government pier last night had bovght a bolt of green silk dress goods. Silent About Destination. ‘The officers of the battleships are dis- creetly silent on the subject of the ex- act destination of the war boats which will steam southward on Monday when the ent gives the word. But pri- va they express doubt as to the pub- lished plans of the Government. They base their skepticism upon the amount and character of the ammunition placed aboard the war ships “for target prac- tice’’ in Magdelena Bay, on the barren coast of lower California.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP SANTA2 HERE'S A CHANCE Philanthropic

Persons May Have Letters Addressed to Mr. Claus. UNCLE SAM ORDERS IT Postmasters Are Instructed to Respect Claims of Char- ity Societies.

WASHING.CN, Dec. 14.—In past years many communications have been received hy the Postoffice Department requesting delivery of so-called ‘Santa Claus” letters to philanthropic societies and others in various parts of the coun- try, but the requests have always been denied, the Department taking the stand that letters of importance would be classed. with ‘Santa Claus’’ letters through error; that it would be exposing to private parties confidential corre- spondence; that the letters might con- tain valuable enclosures, and that such a practice would not be in keeping with the principle of the sanctity of the mails. Now; however, Postmaster-General Meyer has adopted a more liberal atti- tude toward the children, as indicated by his action of today in issuing an or- der to Postmasters all over the country (to whom letters full of trust and plead- ing are coming in such numbers from the little ones), to let the people of their cities know through the newspapers that mail addressed to Santa Claus will be Gelivered to any responsible persons who will undertake to act as Santa Claus’ agents in the matter. Letters to Be Divided. The order follows: Ordered that here- after and until the close of the first day of January, 1908, postmasters are di- rected to deliver all letters arriving at their respective postoffices addressed plainly and unmistakably to ‘Santa Claus)’ without any other terms of ex- pressions identifying the person ~ for whom such letters are intended. to any regularly organized charitable society in the city or town of address, to be used exclusively, for philanthropic , pur- poses. In the event that claim should be made by more than one such society for letters so addressed, such lettcrs will be equally divided according to number between or among the societies making such claim. As it was found that the name “Kris Kringle’ appears in various city di- rectories, it was decided, in order to avoid confusion and loss of letters in- tended for persons of that name, that the new regulation should apply oniv to Santa Claus, who appears to have no namesake. COREY'S PASTOR RISKS LIFE BUT WOMAN DIES Minister Weeps When He Tells Congregation of Un- successful Operation.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 14—In a _ voice broken with emotion, Rev. Dr. John Lewis Clark, at the close of the prayer meeting in the Bushwick Avenue Con- gregational Church, Brvoklyn, last night announced to the congregatior that his eacrifice to save the life of Mrs. Julia Ladson had been in vain and tbat the woman had died during the afternoon in the Bushwick Huspival. On Nov. 27, at the risk of contfacting blood-poisoning from Mrs. Ladson, the pastor allowed the surgeons of the hos- pital to connect the arteries of his right wrist with similar arteries of the pa- tient; then for two hours he lay per- fectly quiet as his healthy blood surged into the body of the woman while sur- geons amputated her leg. Dr. Clark agreed to submit to the transfusion of blood after a relative of Mrs. Ladson had failed at the critical moment. Doesn’t Fear Infection, When seen today by a Post-Dispatch reporter, Dr. Clark said he was feel- ing perfectly well and had no fear that the disease which caused Mrs. Ladson’s death had communicated itself to his own veins. “I shall never regret what I 4id,” said ue; “and if I had not done it I could never have uttered another word to my) congregation on courage in the per ormance,of Christian duty. I woulc have been false to myself and false tc God had I not shown that poor woma) -hat my religion was more than men empty words, I did only my Christia: duty, and I deserve absolutely no credi for it. My great regret is that it fatiec to a a life of Mrs. Ladson.” v. Clark is the clergyman who married William Ellis Corey and “es belle Gilman and afterwards retu he wedding fee. eens
