She Just Followed Him Around Crying “Arthur, Kiss Me,” Chicago Man Says. CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Charges that his not allow him time enough to earn money, and that she always is pursuing him with a ‘‘passionate, despairing cry of ‘Arthur, kiss me,’" are made by Arthur Kohr, a young violinist, who is asking a divorce from Mrs. Mary peers Kohr. Mrs. Kohr has filed a cross bill, charg- ing abandonment. In turn she charges that Kohr, aided by his mother, sought to have her placed in a sanitarfum so that they could collect the rents of the apartment building she owns. When she refused to allow this, she alleges, Kohr left her. “TI was a prisoner in my wife's bohee: She wouldn't let me go out to work. She wanted to sit .in my lap and love me and be loved all the time,’’» Kohr explained, discussing his unusual charges. ‘There was only one thing for me to do, and I did it—ran away.” WOMAN BEGS TO DIE ON GUILLOTINE IN FRONT OF MONTE CARLO CASINO Spectacular Climax to Murder Trial Is Frowned Upon by Prince of Monaco. MONTE CARLO, Dec. 17.—‘I would rather die than go to prison for life, so I refuse to appeal,” Mrs. .Vere Goold told her attorney today when the latter urged her to ask the higher courts to set aside her sentence to the guillotine ‘for. aiding her husband, Vere Goold, to {ici their guest, Mrs. Emma Luin, that Le aid not | they. tion be made as spectacular as possible ‘aud that the guillotine be set up in front of the Casino. The Prince of Monaco, who is ee unwilling to endanger ,the success of the Riviera season by -so ‘shocking an inci- dent, is generally expected to commute the woman’s sentence against her will. Goold took all the blame for the mur- der, but the Court held that his wife prompted the crime and sentenced her io death arid Goold himself only to life imprisonment. MOTHER IDENTIFIES BODY AS THAT OF HER DAUGHTER, Two Actresses of Same Name Cause Confusion and Mistaken Identity. NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Ella May Burke, better known as Mignon Worth, who achieved some little success in the musical comedy, “Buster Brown,’ was buried at Rochester, N. Y., with all the tributes of love and affection a fond mother and hundreds of sorrowing friends, could pay. Down in New Or- leans there is another Ella May Burke, and it is she who is really the daughter of the sorrowing mother in Rochester. On Oct. 25 last there died in the apart- ment of Mrs. Hall, at 101 West Fifty- eighth street, from Bright’s disease, a girl named Ella May Burke. Pictures of her were printed, and Mr. Hall positive- ly identified the girl as his cousin, Jes- sie Burke of Richester, sometimes known as Ella May Burke. Hall sent word to Mrs. Burke in Rochester. She came to New York and identified the body as that of her daughter. Soon after that came from New Or- leans a letter to a sister of Mrs. Burke, asking whether or not Mrs. Burke had forgiven the writer and {if it would be wise to write to her. The letter was signed by Jessie Burke and was un- mistakably in her handwriting. Mrs. Burke is now convinced she buried the wrong girl and is elated that she is no longer childless. A warm message has been sent to the daughter in New Or- leans begging her to return. Court Holds That Ticket Selling Made Youth “Wise.” Because Benjamin B. H. Hayhurst, though only 14 years old at the time of his marriage to Mattie Mayhurat, agec 18, had been for two years a ticket veller at Delmar Garden, Circuit Judge Shields decided Tuesday that he was “wise In knowledge of the world,” and not imposed upon in his inarriage.

Mary Pelton, whose death has been recorded on the books of the City Hospita', may b= alive and in a cématose state, W. R. Pelton of 1727 Wash. street Tuesday besought the Coroner to have every test known to science made ‘on the body § before helding the proposed post morten ex- arhination. — He said Mrs. Pelton ippérentiy died nine years ago, and that her body was raced’ in a coffin for burial, but that she aroused the mourners by rapping o:¢, Mother Escaped Burial. He aiso said that his mbther had a similar experience, being supposed ‘to bé dead when she was alive, and nar- 1ewly escaped being buried alive. Deputy Coroner Lloyd assured Pelton that all the tests to determine death would: be made, but said that if they showed death to have taken place, the post mortem would not be delayed. He said the tests of pulsation and breath and the electric-battery test, considered! infallible, would be used. The post mortem is_ to whether, as is believed, Mrs. Telton died from drinking wood alcohol. Her husband kept two bottles -in a. stable, and found one bottle in the house, al- most empty. — Dr. Konzelman was called, and ‘forwarded her ‘to, the .City Hospital early Monday.-morning.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17. —Discarded by the woman for whom. he had sacri- ficed family and fortune,, Moses L. Dillon; at one time a wealthy planing mill operator in Sterling, Ill., con- cealed himself in a closet in the room occupied by Mrs. Nellie Cochran, and early this morning, while the woman lay asleep, he shot her through the forehead and.then ended his own life with the same revolver at the foot of her bed. -His victim is in a critical condition, but has a chance to recov- er. The tragedy occurred in a FeNGeE, house, conducted by Mrs. Cochran’s sister, where she has been staying since she left. her husband and two children, Donald and Mildred, for love of Dillon. It was the outcome of Mrs. Cochran’s decision to renounce Dillon and to return to her husband, who is manager of the telegraph office at Sterling.

MOVEMENT IS GENERAL enews Residents of Ghetto Will Take No Part in the Usual Exercises. Twenty thousand orthodox Jewish pu- pils will be withdrawn for one day from the public schools in the Ghetto, if the movement started by the Zion Council against participation in the Christmas exercises continues to gain strength among parents. The religious significance of Christ- mas is the objection to celebration of the day by: children of parents who do not uphold the Christian belief in the festival. A card promulgated by the Zion Council reads: “To the Principal: Owing to the fact j that I desire to raise my children as Jews, I do not care for them to partic!- pate in a Christmas festival.’ The card is being signed by Jewish parents and given to their children to the various schools. The Vorsteher, the daily paper printed in’ Hebrew and having ar extensive cir- culation in the Ghetto, has been pub- lishing editorials upon the subject and has carried the card in {ts columns. ‘Note. Precipitated Discussion. This coupon is being liberally clipped ‘and used by parents. Jacob M. Wolfsohn, editor of the Vor- steher, one of whose sons is exchange editor of the Carnation, the magazine publishéd by pupils of the McKinley High School, and another of whom is a pupil in*the Carr Street School, said to a -Post-Dispatch reporter. “The discussion of the Christmas cel- ebration was induced by a note sont through. the children to their parents by teachers of the kindergarten depart- nents of the various schools. -Daidigi®: | ah original of which I will n Ow you, was taken by an influential Jewish parent to the Zion Council. “The note read: “To the Parents: Tha little children of the Carr Kindergarten are preparing for their annual Christ- mas entertainment, to be given Dec. 23. Kindly contribute 25 cents toward mak- ing it a success. Yurself and friends fre invited to attend. Respectfully yours, (Miss) M. McGrath, directress.' ”’ “The Council was asked for an ex- pression and after considering the mat- ter,” continued Mr. Wolfsohn, ‘‘the cou- pon carried in this paper was written and given out for publication. The Zion Council is made up of delegates of the eight Zion societies in St. Louis. They are Bnai, Dorshei, Daughters of Zion, Young Men and Ladies of Ziongate and four junior societies. The Zion Council is a member of the National Zion Feder- ation, with headquarters in New York, where recently objections have bee made to the celebration of Christmas in the public schools, because of its. relig- ious aspect. Will Withdraw Children, “The Jews of St. Louis do not go_so far as to ask that such a celebration be eliminated from the schools, even in the district where their children form much the' larger percentage of the en- roliment. If the minority care to have the celebration the Jewish parents will simply not let their children attend the exercises.”’ Principa! Joseph H. Foy of the Patrick Henry School at Tenth and Biddle streets, which has the heavicst Jewish enrollment in the Ghetto, said: ‘I have instructed the teachers that when they receive these printed slips or any re- quests from parents that they excuse the pupil] from attending the Christmas exercises. However, no songs or other exercises having the slightest allusion to the religious significance. of Christ- mas are used.” The principals of the Jefferson School, Ninth and Wash streets; the Carr School, Fifteenth and Carr streets; the Franklin, Lucas avenue and Seven- teenth streets: the Carr Lane, Twenty- third and Carr streets; the Divoll, Day- ton, near Garrison avenue, and the Stod- dard, Lucas and Ewing avenues, all having a heavy enrolment of Jewish pu- pils, have taken the same course. Superintendent of Schools Soldan told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the cus- tom here is to handle such questions with much more discretion that many other cities in the country seem to be doing. He said no objection would be made to parents withdrawing their chil- dren from Christmas celebration, BILL PROVIDES LONG AIRSHIP JOB Virginia Congressman Wants Con. stituent to Be Well Cared For.

At one time Van Studdiford was con- sidered one of the richest men in 8t. Louis. He inherited a large estate which included valuable property in te heart of St. Louis. As a “‘man about town” he was a picturesque figure while his money lasted.

It was regarded as a splendid match and more than one of the singer's stage friends envied her good fortune. The name of Van Studdiford was an old and a proud one in St. Louis. It was ar “ope: sesame to the doors of the ex- clusive social set. Van Studdiford and his. bride established themselves in a beautiful home on Maryland avenue and they entertained lavishly.

VAN STUDDIFORD OLD SERVANT 0 CHURCHILL'S TH CRISIS’ |S. DEAD George Howard, Former Slave, Figured in St. Louisan’s Romance. George -Howartiwonsolts vant who was _ intimately ‘associated with the events of ‘Winston Churchill's novel, “The: Orisis,’"’ and who was born at the old Beverly. Allen home, 1410 East Grand avenue, the ‘‘Bellegaride” of ‘“The Crisis,” died of epilexy Monday after- noon, ‘after serving the same : family, generation after’ generation, for the en- tire 6 ‘years of: his life. Isaac H. Sturgeon, now 87 years old, still lives at the old ‘‘Beilegarde”’ and retained George and. his wife, Hester, as servants because of the genuine at- tachment he always felt for them, even in the days when one was master and the other two were slaves. Called Them “His White Folks.” George Howard's father and mother belonged to Beverley Allen during the days of slavery. They were old “Un- Cle Martin” and “Aunt Lucy” and were freed by Mr. ‘Allen’s will in 1845, but continued in the sérvice of the faimily. George was born and grew up with his “white folks,’ as he always called the family. .The iate Nat Yeatman, son of James E. Yeatman, was the idol of the vourg negro’s heart He hunted with the sons of the-old families who lived on the old Bellefontaine road, as North Broadway Was thet called. When Isaac H. Sturgeon married pret- ty Nannie Allen, George was the major’ domo of the occasion. Miss Angelica Yeatman (Virginia Car- vel of ‘“‘The: Crisis,’’ who lived-at Glen- coe, where the dance mentioned in the first part of the novel was held), mar- ried Alfred Carr in 1859. George was radiant with the sense of his importance on that occasion. “GLORIOUS BIRD” ON NEW DOUBLE EAGLE DOESN'T WEAR ITS “PANTALOONS” The néw $20 gold pieces, designed so as to conform better with the tastes of bankers, are now in circulation. The new design substantially cenveys St. Gauden’'s ideas, but bas been altered in detalls to such an extent that praise and admiration have supplanted the criticisrn which broke several weeks ago when the original coin left the Phila- deiphia mint. The new, double eagle can be stacked quite as easily as any other coin. The high relief to which bankers found ob- jection has beeg reduced, though both sides are artistically convex, the eagle and the goddess standing out boldly. The new design virtually is a compro- mise with regard to the “pantalooned”’ eagle. It cannot be said that the de- signer dispensed with the leg adornment of the eagle, yet those who found objec- tions to this feature have no further grievance, as the legs are obscured, The figures 1907 have displaced the Roman numerais. The sharp edge of the coin has been eliminated. Around it are stars and the phrase, “E Pluribus Unum.” Bishop Says Salcons Are Necesasary. LANSING, Mich., Dec. 1.—Bishop Charlies D.

- heroically to reach Rescue the Best Christmas ‘Gift Expected by Brown, Bailey and McDonald. ENTOMBED TEN DAYS Their Wives, Always at Mine Entrance, Encourage Party Trying to Save Them. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ELY, Nev., Dec. 17.—Urged by three women who have stood at the entrance to the Alpha mine day and night, a res- cue party which has faced nearly every obstacle that couiu arise is working three imprisoned men and bring them to the surface alive before Christmas day. The three wom- en are the wives of miners Brown, Bai- ley and McDonald, who for 10 days have bedn entombed in a little pump house 110 feet down in the earth. Since a week ago last Friday these men have been able to communicate with the outside world through a_ six-inch steam pipe, fortunately preserved in the disaster which cost at least two lives. In a pool not 100 feet from the survivors float two bodies—laborers who were caught umawares when tons of earth crashed downward and caught five workmen In a trap from which there seemed no escape. . In the darkness the8e three men climbed 160 feet, reached an open “level,” used the still unbroken telephone wire to tell those above that they were still alive, and since then have been awaiting the party that has worked tirelessly to save them. : ' Rescuers Discouraged. te Through that little pipe which has @ ; meant food and air to the imprisoned } ‘miners has been sent a cheering mes- sage each day, but sometimes in the. hearts of the senders of those messages ® hope has nearly expired. Yesterday, when it seemed that it was only a ques- tion of hours until they penetrated the last inch of the 60 feet of solid rock that had stood between them and the men y are trying to rescue, there was 4 én rimble, and about their shoul- fell a shower of earth—the third t on the. to the ‘three men who, ‘their unique tomb, can hear the sound of pick and; shovel, but are. powerless to shelp the men who are trying to save them. In the shaft below them, water is rising slowly. If the danger of another ‘ eave-in and the menace of a flood can be averted, the three men will emerge alive to spend their Christmas with the } three women who palit patiently at the “mouth of the mine, now blocked with broken timbers and loose earth. In 10 days there has been no pause in the ingenuity that has been exerted to the utmost to save the three miners. “Tf it Is possible to rescue these men we will do it,”’ said the superintendent of the Alpha mine today. “We do not expect to reach them within two or three cays, but’ we will h them ulti- mately, and if they can only keep up their courage we will take them from foes shaft. We will do everything with- in the power of man to bring them to ‘tile turface alive.”’ : Co = The Bookshop.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 17.—Admiral Rojestvensky, who during the Russo- Japanese War led the ill-starred Rus- sian fleet around Africa to ultimate de- feat at*the hands of the Japanese in the Sea of Japan, is keenly interested in the cruise of the American battleship squadron. “The voyage can be made safely either in time of peace or wag,” said Ro- jestvensky. “Sheltered harbors are avail. able for coaling and there is no fear | lof interference on the part of any of | the South American governments. The | passage of the Straits of Magellan, es- pecially in summer time, presents 10 difficulty to a skilled commander. “This expedition differs from the trip of the Baltic fleet in that we were obliged to coal at sea. We were not permitted to linger for even one day in the unfrequented Bay of Annam with- out brusque orders from the French Governor and the English Admiral to move on.” 2% Hebson Fears the Yellow Peril. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—In the opin- fon of Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of the ‘Merrimac and Representa- tive from Alabama, the sailing of the battleships yesterday is the first ste} of the United States in behalf of the nations of the earth to prevent the er- croachment of the ‘‘yellow peril.’’ Addressing an audience composed largely of senators, congressmen and dc- partment officials at the University Club, Hobson detailed the military ac- tivities of Japan since the Russian war. “Japan has added five divisions to her army since the treaty of Portsmouth, increasing the number of her soldiers to one-half more than the force with whicn she foughth Russia,” he said. . “She has spent $70,000,000 in buying seven monster battleships, and it is re- ported that she has ordered two more. She has 100,000 trained soldiers in Ha- wali in the guise of laborers. “She has organized an army corps in Formosa, next door to the Philippines. She is ready in everything for war witi: the United States except a justifiable pretext. Hobson held that the only way to pre- vent a conflict with Japan would. be to obtain the mastery of the Pacific. Nothing Official From the Fleet. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Not a word has come to the Navy’ Department from the Atlantic fleet since it left the Vir- ginia capes yesterday. Wireless mes- sages, however, are. known to have passed today between some one. of. the vessels and the wireless statidn at Nor- folk, but they, were not neIeret. at Washington. y ae" Tied Herse to Tree; Fined.

M155 FLORPENCEAVERELL BENEFIT AT OLYMPIC FOR GERMAN ORPHANS’ HOME Entire Proceeds of “The Spring Chicken” Performance Go to Institution.

the German General Protest Orphans’ Home are to receive the entire receipts of the performance to be givn this even- ing at the Olympic Theater, by Richard Carle and company in “The Spring Chicken.” This attraction was select- ed because the management of the in- stitution which has purelased the house outright for the night, wanted to offer something in which the comedy would be light ana the musi¢ of the popular, catchy variety. They have found that serious productions only ap- peal to a limited number and are not appreciated by many others. Although this Orphans’ Home has been In existence for more than twenty- five years, it has very seldom called upon the public in general for contribu- tions in any form. It is under the man- agement of well-known Germans but accepts children of other nationalities. All of the unfortunate little inmates are sent to the Ashland Public Schoel for in contact with children who have par- ents and homes and will be made to feel as little as possible their own sad condition. — Two of the officers of the institution— J. H. Cenrades, the president, and J. H. W. Krenning, treasurer—have occupied these respective positions with the home ever since its foundation. The Board of Directors ts composed of the most representative German citizens of St. Louis.

If it is true that Norman will not tolerate a negro after sundown it is conspicuously true, also, that the negroes theniselves have a town, not many miles away, of which their traditional is that no white man has ever been allowed to stay there over night. ‘Naturally, the boast is offensive.

‘fm an alleged St. Louis news- : fer oe ) effect that Admiral Evans' first for- omm and 2 phen ama was “shove off!" -ed was “wholly religious, it is plain enough that Sunday laws iaborend in various eneten in such manner as to interfere with decorous amuse- ment, the operation’ of street cars, the purchase f necessaries and the perforthance ‘of labor not conveniently interrupted emphasize the fact. that these enactments are religious In effect and in in- spiration. : If they were not religious laws they would not apply to Sunday only. They are religious laws because they aim to compel the religious observ- ance of a particular day. If they were not re- ligious laws—if they were, in fact, such sanitary, social and police regulations as the courts hold them to be—they would not specify one day in the week as holy; they would prohibit seven days of work. When we consider that there is no unanimity among Christians as to the merits of Sabbatari- anism and that even among those who profess to find something sacred in the day itself it is commonly seen that many people suspend their principles on slight occasion, the gravity of these invasions of popular rights must be apparent to all. The high importance of a day of rest is denied by nobody. It is absolutely essential to the wel- fare of mankind. ‘No one is more vitally inter- ésted in its preservation than the tofling millions. They, cannot afford to be deprived of it. But their profoundest concern in the matter is social and physiological, and not religious, With free- dom they can order their wholesome leisure as they please. Without freedom they might as well be. at work. | There is danger to this element in the drastic enforcement of religious laws on Sunday, for there is certain to be a reaction which will be mischievous. The American people will not be put in a strait-jacket on any day of the week, t is tg be feareti that when they destroy these religious laws they will not in all cases have the wisdom to put something better in their places. Taking into account only the secular features of a day of rest, it is probable that the labor ing than any religious law has done. They pro- hibit six consecutive days of work in most cases and in some instances they do not permit more than five. These regulations are enforced. Sun- day laws are effective only in spots and spas- modically. Since the purpose of Sunday laws when adopt- they have failed of their object. They do not com- pel men to go to’ church. They do not even promote piety. They do more harm ‘than good, for, so far as they are enforced, they. interfere in establishing one day, any day, of rest. A day of rest on which the wofm*and weary can have no diversion, on which a mossbacked tyranny has laid its shackles and from which fa- naticism would if it could remove the sunlight, is a mockery. The churches promoting this sort of thing may properly be reminded that an awak- ened sense of liberty and justice in this country may not hesitate at reprisals. Religion owes much to the toleration and favor o* millions who do not attend upon its services. Religion will do well, therefore, to content itself with conquests. spiritual, surrendering wholly the idea that the Kingdom of God is to be ushered in by a be-it-enacted. ¢ » » » — Under no circumstances Will the State of Mis-|

—— $3 nn Ss DICKEY TRYING. TO THRUST TAFT UN CUMMITTEE =a -

Boom Expected to Get Frosty Reception at Meeting in . St. Louis. Members of the Missouri Republican Central Committee, who came to St. Louis Tuesday to complete arrange- ments for the State convention and to select four delegates at large and four alternates to the national convention, in addition to the nomination of 36 presi- dential electors, will be urged by Chair- man Dickey to favor Secretary of War Taft for the presidential nomination. Mr. Dickey’s decision to- boom ‘Taft instead of his old friend. Vice-President Fairbanks, has not inspired enthusiasm among his committee associates. Taft is the choice of Chairman Howe and his semoeta tes on the City Com- mittee. McCoy Works Against Taft. Mr. Dickey’s chief supporter, Thomas K. Niedringhaus, being bitterly opposed by the Howe men for national commit- teemen,. is naturaily averse to the Taft candidacy: Besides, the Niedfinghaus men iike Fairbanks better. Joe Mc- Coy, secretary under Niedringhatts when he was chairman of the State Commit- tee, was busy Tuesday morning trying to suppress the Taft movement. It will be recalled that the State Committee two years ago indorsed President Roosevelt for a third term provided he would accept. The Taft promoters held aloof from Missouri until the President indicat- ed positively that he would not ac- cept renomination. Several leaders consider it unwise on the part of the State Committee to pledge itself at this time to any particular candidate. Congressman Pat Murphy of the Sixteenth District and Jim Moore of Lebanon, who hasn’t missed a State Committee meeting in 30 years, do not hesitate to express their disapproval of the plan. Rough Passage for Taft Men. Two or three members favor Gov. Hughes cof New York for presidential honors. With the conflict of opinion now prevailing, it appears to the pol- iticians that Mr. Dickey’s resolution to put Missouri on record for the War Secretary will die a’borning. There is a possibility that at the committee session Tuesday afternoon a resolution. will be introduced declaring against the influance of brewers in State politics. Committeeman Stifel of the Twe'fth district, who always has run a brewery and enjoys a 10-years’ membership in the councils of the Missouri Republican organization, says if this is done he will present a counter resolution to the ef- fect that the brewers are minding their own bus'ness and should be let alone. Not more than one-third of the com- mittee is in St. Louis, but this number helds proxies for the remainder. ‘The early arrivals at State headquarters in- cluded N. A. Mozley, W. H.

PEANUT § will GROW HAIR GOOBER CHAMPION ASSERTS AURORA, Ill, Dec. 17.—Prof. Thomas J. Allen LL. D., the Au- rora goober ‘specialist, said at the end of his test: ‘Peanuts will. grow bald head. ‘“‘Peanute are the greatest cos- metic in the. world; fine for the complexion. “Peanuts are not an ideal food, but are the richest single article of diet. ‘Peanuts are an effective narcot- ic; a aviarter pound a day will cure ™insemnia."’ Here’s -what happens. to Allen while eatitic peniixts for 6 days: Allén’s weight: Start>’1*0.nounds; finish, 148 pcunds; loss in @ days, 12 pounds. : : Allen’s girth: Start, 26 inches; fin- ish 34 inches. Allien’s chest: finish, 37 inches., hair on a Start, 38 inches;

YOU NEEDN'T STARVE; FOR 15 CENTS A DAY DOCTOR THRIVES ON PEANUT DIET Aurora Man Is Certain That With _Bananas Added to Menu He Could Grow Fat. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dee. 17.—Dr: T. J. Allen of Aurora, Ill., yesterday finished a food test extending over 60 days, during which time he lived upon peanuts and ‘opmonade,’ nothing cise The Aurora savant says that he has solved practically the whole scheme of material life; the thing is simple— peanuts and bananas. Eat ‘em and thrive., Don’t bother with working too hard, for you can live on 15 cents a day and wax fat. If you love to work, go ahead, as on peanuts and bananas twice one’s usual work may be done twice as easily. Dr. Allen was in fine physical condi- tion when he ended his novel 60-day test. He will now start.on a 60 days’ test of bananas. “If people lived Gn peanuts and ba- nanas,”’ he said, “it would cost them not more than 15 cents a day, and they would be saved all the trouble of cook- ing, all the expense of servants. It takes an hour to eat a meal of peanuts, but you can eat the goobers at your desk or bench—while you are at work, anywhere.’’ CLOSED KANSAS CITY BANK TO REOPEN WITH BIG CAPITAL

ization—Will Wire Comp- troller. . The National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City will be reopened in Janu- ary with its capital stock increased from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, if plans agreed upon at a meeting here are ap- proved by the Comptroller of the Cur- rency. Messrs. David R. Francis and J. W. Parry of St. Louis, R. A. Long and J. J. Swofford of Kansas City and W. 8. Powell of Sedalia, Mo., constitute a com- mittee appointed at that meeting to communicate with the Comptroller and obtain his approval .if possible. They wil] telegraph him today. “Nearly one-third the bank’s 10,000 shares of stock is held by St. Louisans, and it was for this reason that four of the bank’s directors—Messrs. Long, Swofford, J. J. Heim and W. T. Kem- per—came to St. Louis to arrange for the reorganization. The meeting was attended by nearly all the St. Loulsans interested. Mr. Heim said after the meeting that if the reorganization plan is approved another meeting of stockholders will be called to arrange details. George T. Cutts, National Bank Ex- aminer of New York, has been appoint- ed permanent receiver of the failed Na- tional Bank of Commerce of Kansas City, according to press dispatches.

NANCIAL ITEMS As a sign of the times, disbursements are either being passed, deferred or reduced fol- lowing the recassion in business since the first of September. Thirty corporations have reduced their dividends since announcements were made on Aug. 28. and present indica- tions point to further radical changes dur- ing the next three months. So far the loss of income to stockholders amounts to over $11,000.000. Bank exchanges last week at all leading cities in the United States were $2,029,209. - 293. a decrease of 33.4 per cent, compared with the corresponding week of last year. The loss is still heavy at nearly every city. but is especially large at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Louisville and San Francisco. In the West there is some little relaxation from previously existing con- ditions and losses are smaller at some points, Minneapolis reporting a small increase in exchanges compared with a year ago. At Baltimore, also, the decrease is not as large as at some other points. Average daily bank exchanges for the year to date are compared below for three years:
