ST. LOUIS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1907.

Southern Visitor in New York Says She Is Not Afraid of Pests. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—A very pretty and demure young woman was walking down Broadway soon after dark yester- day when, at Forty-fifth street, a man approached her. He raised his hat and said insinuatingly, but confidently: “Fine evening, isn’t it?’ ™ He got no further. The young woman whipped her hand from the big ‘muff she carried and struck him full in the face. The fellow's hat had failen, but, leaving it, he ran away. Lieut. Leigh, in charge of the uptown detective bureau, happened to be near and ran to.the young woman, who was smiling pleasantly. She showed her hand. On her left was a dainty kid glove, on her right a boxing glove, thinly padded, the sort of glove that save the knuckles from be- ing broken when a hard blow is deliv- ered. “My name Is So-and-so,”’ said the young woman, telling Leigh her name. “I board on Forty-sixth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. I came here several weeks ago from my home in th2 South, and I am eéerning my living as a stenographer, After I finish my work and have had my dinner I. must ha ch ceiges age air, #0.

John Mollman, 747 South Third street, i¢6 years old, was fined $25 and costs in the City Hall Police Court Thursday on his plea of guilty to a mashing charge. His two boy companions, about 9 years old, who annoyed Miss Hermiule Dayis, 16, were not under charges. Miss Davis testified thaf the small boys said, ‘‘Gee, ain't she a peach,” and ran when she called her brother. Mohimann was arrested Wednesday evening. She. accusés jiim of knocking her down twice, after she tried to slap him near her home at 1535 South Broad- way, because he tipped his hat to her and gaid “‘good evening.” Mohiman was driven away by Leon Davis, her brother, aged 15, who wielded a broom handle, Miss Davis says. She recognized the little boys as pupils «f the Madison school, the principal of which -made them apologize, she says, for which reason she did not ask their arrest. i SETH LOW AND MAYOR BUSSE URGE LENIENCY IN RUSSIA Premier Stolypin Asked to Be Mer- ciful to Woman and Tchaikovsky.

| No Federal Official May Sanc- tion Such Acts, Court Asserts. ———— CITICAGO, Dec. %.—Replying to the repeated statements of John 8S. Miller, “the $100,000 lawyer,”’ defending John R. Walsh, the banker, that “the national Comptroller of the Currency not only knew of the use of memorandum notes by Walsh, but had suggested them to Walsh,”’ United States Gircuit Judge An- derson sharply denounced such conduct by any comptroller as a ‘‘connivance at violation of the law in which the plain duty of the Comptrolicr was to procced against the bank.’’ “Why, your honor, every national bank in the country uscs this system of notes as a convenient means of carrying balances,” said Mr. Miller. “The Comp- troller approves of-it- and the national bank examiner has never objected to it. The silence of beth those officials gives official sanction to the practice.” Judge’s Opinion of Duty. “No officeholder can approve of viola- tions of the law, no matter how high his office;”’ retorted Judge Anderson. ‘‘It is the imperative duty of the Comptrol- Yer in the case of every bank using these notes and the other methods described here to revoke the charter of the bank,’’ ‘“‘Whenever he fails to do this he fails to perform his duty as an officer .of the Government, ‘whose prin- cipal function it is to prevent such viola- tions.’’ The Court expressed no opinion as to the truthfulness of the. charges of the defense against ‘the Government bank officia ‘During ‘arguments .by Waish’s attor- ney to sustain a, motion to dismiss the banker, Judge Anderson: ruled against them in many important points. Mr. Miller asked that the case against the banker be taken from the jury ve- cause of the alleged failure of the Gov- ernment to prove that any financial losses lrad occurred as a result of the transactions of Walsh, as president of the Chicago National Bank, and also because of the alleged failure of the prosecution to show that any of the acts had been committed with intent to defraud. Mr. Miller’s further objections’ to the Court’s interpretation of the law and evidence were that Walsh had a right to “transfer credits’ .on the “bank's books to make it appear that millions were due instead of owed; that-in all his transactions the banker was strict- ly within his legal rights; his dual éa- pacity as owner of .corporations and head of the banks left him free to act in each of them separately, in one to lend money to his corporations, and the other to sell stocks to the banks: that the Government did not properly set forth the charges. a“

Dorsey A. Jamison, an attorney, 13 Gov. Folk’ choice to succeed A. Stewart on the Police Board. The Governor, who hopes to get rid also of a~circuit judgeship before he goes back to Jefferson City Friday eve- ning, and. who has a lot of family visit- ing to do and a wedding to attend while here, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter at the Southern Hotel Thursday that he intended to gall on Mr. Jamison dur- ing the day. He would not say that he was about to offer Mr. Jalmison the $1000-a-year police commissionership, which most of the men whom the Governor wants to appoint to it have sidestepped grace- fully. But he did say that he thought Mr. Jamison was a high-class man, and would make an excellent police com- missioner. | “I shall not appoint anyone president of the board,” said the Governor, “but merely. a member. The board will }choose its own president without help from. me,”’ Maroney and Lewis ' Favored. The .Governor’s callers. got the im- pression that the Circuit Judgeship, worth $5,500 & year, was certain to go to Andrew C. Maroney, and that the vacancy which would result in the pres- idency of the Board of Election Com- missioners, paying $3000 a year,. would be filled by the appointment’ of Edward S. Lewis. They also got the Impression that the appointment of Jamisen to the police cornmissionership depends § anly on getting his consent. “I have had more than 1090 applica- tions for the Circuit Judgeship,” said the Governor to-a reporter for the Post-Dispatch. “Most of them are from men well qualified for the po- sition. “I. shall announce an appointment to this place, and probably to the Police Commissionership, before I go back to Jefferson City.” . The Governor wore a reflective look when the senatorial contest, with the possible candidacy of Champ Clark, was mentioned, but made no reply to questions bearing on this matter. . The Governor called at the home of his brother-in-law, James A. Webb, 4414 |'West Pine boulevard, before going ‘downtown, and was greeted there by his mother. He is to be a guest Thursday niznt at the marriage of his cousin, Miss Grace Estes, to Charles Thomas Sniith, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Estes, 14 Parkland place. Concerning Mr. Jamison. “horsey A. Jamigon is head of the law firm of Jamison & Thomas, with offices in the Pierce Building. He has practiced law in St. Louis since his graduation from the St. Louis Law School in 1875. Before organizing Mhis present firm Mr. Jamison was for 2¢ years a member of the law firm of Collins & Jamison. He was born in Rutherford County, Tenn., Nov. 22, 1853, and was a stu- dent at Union University, Murfrees- boro, Tenn., befofe coming to St. Louis to attend law school. Mr. Jamison was married in 1892 to Miss Stella Sikes of Franklin, Tenn. They have one daughter. Mr. Jamison is a member of the Second Baptist Church. He is a thirty-third degree Mason and was Grand Master of Ma- sons for Missouri in 1896 and 1897. He also has been president of the Ten- nessée Society of St. Louis. Wives ‘Are Relatives. He is not only a native of the same State as Gov. Folk, but Mrs. Jamison | and Mrs. Folk are understood to be distantly related. Mr. Jamison was a friend of Joseph W.

When the present Governor was mar- red and brought his bride to St. Louis from Brownsville, Tenn., it is related that they made their home at the Jami- son residence before they started house- keeping. Mrs. Folk and Mrs. Jamison have been intimate friends ever since and Mrs. Jamison frequently has been Mrs. Folk’s' guest at the executive mansion. parteer Also Is Favored.

NEW $20 GOLD COINS BRING 33 IN ST. LOUIS They Show Liberty Apparently Trying to Kick Cff Her Pompadour.

Twenty-dollar gold pieces are selling for $31 in St. Louis. But they must be the new “high-kicking liberty” twenties or the premium will not be paid, The St. Louls Subtreasury received 70 of the coins. Their face.value fs $15,000, but the market value of the entire lot, at $31 each, is $23,200. It is all because the lady on the coin looked too much like the pert soubrette on a vaudeville poster.. A great many persons were shocked because the fair goddess had one foot in the air at an elevMion which suggested that she was trying to kick the “rat” out of her pompadour. In these reform days a thing like that doesn’t go. Moralists made trou- ble for the administration. They told the Treasury Department that they couldn't see why the motto “In God We Trust” should be taken off one. coin and a picture of a chandelier-kicking woman in the guise of Liberty shouid be put on another. Before the new coins could be distrib- uted to the local banks the news came that “because of a defect in the design” they had been called in. The few which got into circulation were eagerly gobbled up by speculators who were willing to trade 31 in bille for $20 in coins with a coryphee on them.

The rifle was in the hands of Jacob Eisele Jr.; aged 14, brother of the wouid- ed boy, when it was discharged. The weapon had been given to the older of the two boys by their [-«ther. The boys were in the back yard at ciheir home at 5 p. m., Wednesday, examining the gun... Jacob was showing. Peter how to break and load the weapon, Peter standing in front of the gun. : Neither of the boys can say what dis- charged the rifle, but as the weapon flashed Peter sank to the ground with a bullet hole in his left breast... He was carried into the house and Dr. Edyar Little Was- summoned. Bulict Penetrated Lane. Dr. Little called an ambulance “and had the boy taken to his office, where an X-ray examination showed the bul- let had penetrated the left tung and Hodged about one inch back of the heart. On account of the extreme weakness of the wounded boy, Dr. Little decided not to operate, Dr. Charles Eisele, an uncle of Peter, acquiescing to this decision. — The boy was taken to St. Mary's Hos- pitai, where his condition.

In the first place, like every line offi- cer, he believed that the subardination of any line officer, no matter how iow a staff officer on shipboard jlicy and subversive of naval discipline.

The only St. Louis em- ployer of wigmakers says his men are contented, and that he does not believe either of them has ever thought of strik- ing. sae: New York dispatches state that the newly organized Human Hair Workers’ Union is planning a strike for better pay and shorter hours, and will appeal to wig wearers to provide them with a strike fund, It is hinted that the men Louis pay what is needed than take any chance of having their secret become known. : “If they count on help from the cus- tomers of their employers, the men will de disappointed,’ predicted Andrew Fueger to a }b’ost-Dispatch reporter believe the wig wearers would rather’ naturally sympathize with the employ- ers, who make the designs for their re- lief from baldness. “My two wigmakers are kept busy, and they are satisfied [ do not be- lieve they know the names of most: of my customers—those are kept secret by me, tor many of these customers are very sé@nsitive about having it: known that they wear toupets. I can mention only one cf my customers, who himself made the fact public—Dr. Helise Marks. He made a bet, while in the Council, with President Forman, that he would be wearing a full head of hair in two weeks, and won the wager by appearing witn the wig I had made him. ‘WWig wearing is on the. increase. Physicians have recommended it as a cure for neuralgia, which is often caused by lack of scalp protection.

MILLBURY, Mass., Dec. 26.—Many in- teresting sidelights are thrown on the Taft family in the history which the Secretary of War’s mother compiled during the years just preceding her death. This record, just published as a part of the genealogical history of Wor- cester County, contains eulogies of Mrs. Taft's husband, father and mother and references to her distinguished son. which show the pride she took In him. Of her husband, Alphonso, she. says that his fearlessness as a Judge prob- ably prevented him from being Gover- nor of Ohio. Judge Taft presented a dissenting opinion in which he held that the Cincinnati School Board had a right to stop the reading of the Bible in pub- lic schools. “‘When the case went to the Supreme Court of Ohio,” she writes, “this opin- ion was sustained by the unanimous court of five judges and has sifce been the law throughout the United States. Prevented His Nomination. “The Bible in the public school case arose in his path several times later and probably prevented him being Gov- ernor of Ohio. When, however, the storm of prejudice and bigotry had sub- sided and the people had time to con- sider the matter, Judge Taft’s reputa- tion as a Judge who knew neither fear nor favor was inevitably conceded.” On his mother’s side,|this story shows, Secretary Taft is descended ‘from Wil- lam Torrey, who came from. Somerset, England, to Weymouth, Mass., in 164, There have been some big men in the family beside the presidential possibil- ity. The fifth William in the line of descent, Secretary Taft's grandfather, is reported to have stood six feet seven | inches. Thief Gets Jewels Worth $100.

The “boy” applied early in ‘the morn- ing and said he wanted to enlist as a soldier for service in the Philippines. - “All right, take a seat,” sald the biuff Sergeant, hardly noticing the slender figure in the chair. “Peel off your coat,” continued the officer from his inner room. “You may as well strip so we can get your measurements.” Hesitates at First Order. A smothered “Oh” came from the chair. “T_I—don’t believe I—had—better—” quivered the voice as it ‘trailed off brokenly. “T.I—didn’t know you had to do this,” continued the plaint. And then the Sergeant, coming into the room suddenly, found the “soldier’’ in the chair in tears. “Wel, well, what's this?’ he queried, and when the boyish girl looked up at him with a tear-stained face he saw what he had not noticed before—a face roughened by the weather, but delicate and a and olive, with long-lashed eyes and a trembling, diminutive mouth —the features of a girl, in fact. “Come, come, now, tell us all about it,” said the Sergeant In a kindly voice. “You know we can’t enlist women.” On the Road Two Weeks. Checking her sobs as she wiped her eyes with the sleeve of a ragged coat, she begged the Sergeant not to reveal her story. “I left home over two weeks ago.” she began. “Mother didn’t want me to go away, and I told her I was going to visit relatives in Denver. Then I thought it would be a great lark to dress as a boy and steal my way on the trains. It was great fun. Nobody seemed te pay any attention to me at all, and the only trouble I had was in Ran fal faith several boys who were on their way to Sioux Falls to en- list in the army.

Justice and Former Senator. Are Congratulated for Refusing to Run From Youths Who Gave Them Beating.

Justice Jimmy Miles and former Sen- ator William J. Schoenlaub have been recéiving the compliments of friends and admirers on thelr prowess as fighters and congratulations on the good fortune which brought them in contact only with beardiess youths and not mature, muscle-hardened men, who might hav> hart them. The fight in which the jurist and statesmen would have distinguishei themselves if the other fellows had not sat on them, occurred Monday evening when Schoenlaub collided with a couple of youths on South Broadway and knocked a package of candy from the hands of one of the young men. Schoenlaub, who is at the City Hos- pital, suffering from a broken leg and bruises and cuts about the head, has ‘been dubbed “the confectionery boy.’ Miles was able to go home, but his face was badly addled. _In honor of the drubbing, which he took so heroltally he has been breveted “the candy kid.”’ “We are proud of Justice Miles and Senator Schoenlaub,” said one friend of hoth men. “They bear upon their per- 80ns the marks of honorable combat, which ever since war was invented have been regarded with pride by virile men. “They did not flee when the enemy charged. They remained on the scene. In fact, they rémained unusually close to the scene, lying down on-it and clinging to it. Thus they. held posses- sion of the battlefield while the enemy merely sat on them and pounded them. Tt is a glorious thing to hold the field in a great battle.’ _» They Both Resemble Candy. It has been reported that the youths who beat Miles and Schoenlaub would not have been so pugnacious had they known what distingyished persons they

were hunimering. With a view to pre- vent-a repetition of similar mistakes friends of the two politicians are con- sidering making p ic a description of the men, so that they will be known when met hereafter. Former Senator Schoenlaub is sald to resemble a large bonbon and Justice Miles a stick of peppermint candy since the fight.

ARMED CROWD AT CLAYTON FAILS IN-HUNT FOR THIEF Score of Residents Abandon Chase After the Fugitive Is Fired Upon. A score of Clayton residents, armed, left their homes at midnight Wednes- @ay to look for a burglar. J. G, Bain, who lives over John G. Weber's hardware store on the public square, thought he heard a burglar in the store, and a shot fired by E. Bain, his brother, gave the alarm. The brother said he saw a man run- ning from the store and fired at him, put did not think he hit him. Weber was aroused, and found that the tin- shop in his store looked as though someone had broken into it, but noth- ing was missing. No other trace of the intruder could be found, and the men went back to ‘bed, apparently disappointed that they had been unable to finish off the Christmas festivities with a burglar- chase. . ~

NEW YORKERS RUSH TO MARRY BEFORE NEW LAW COMES IN License Measure Will Cause Elope- ments, Objectors to the Bill Say. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—Cupid is hav- ing an inning in New York just now. Beginning Jan. 1, a new law requiring licenses to wed will be In force, and hundreds of couples are rushing’ to the ministers to escape the publicity which will follow the recording of all mar- riages. There are usually about 20 marriages a day in the city, but for the last week this number has been increased three-fold and next week promises the biggest matrimonial rush the city has ever seen. One minister announces that he ‘mar- ried 25 couples last Week and has en- gagements to unite twice that number in the days between how and Jan. 1, There are many objections to the new law voiced by ministers and oth- ers. The objectors say that the law makes marriage more difficult, while they believe that all difficulties in the way of matrimony should be smoothed away. They believe that the new law [will induce elopements.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—In an editorial pointing the way by which New’ York City can regain and maintain its pres- tige—business and otherwise—the World today says: “The Erie Railroad cuts the wages of its clerical employes. The splendid work of the-United Hebrew Charities is ham- pered by unusual needs and by lack of fundss The State Board of Charities re- ports four times as much destitution as usual at this season. Factories are closed or running on short time. Freight ship- ments decrease. ‘Retail trade, chameleon- like, takes color from its sad surround- ings. The exchanges have no heart for holiday jollity. “The woes of the Stock Exchange matter little. New York is under no ob- ligation to insure a value of from $40,000 to $60,000 each to 1100 memberships of a close corporation, 97 per cent of whose transactions are merely gambling with marked cards. “Causes better understood in Wall street than elsewhere may keep business in that region dull, but the kind of ‘pros- perity’ that is gained by gambling and spent along the great White Way in buying heart disease does not help the city. “Short-sighted is the business man who says he has no time to ‘bother with holidays.’ Every business problem is at the bottom a political problem. What hie York needs—and the need is ur- nt, is critical—is better government, an awakened public opinion, more po-

Bryan is a prominent young attorney, 31 years old, and now holds the position of County Solicitor for thig (Duval) county. He was born in Orange Coun- ty, Fla., Oct. 10, 1876. He is the son of John M. Bryan, who served 4 years as State Senator and afterwards as 4 member of the State Railroad Commis- sion. Bryan was reared in the vicinity of his birthplace and attended the local schools. Later he attended Embry Col- lege, where he graduated with the de- gree of Bachelor of Arts in 1896. Three years later he graduated professionally at Washington and Lee University and at once began to practice law in Jack- sonville. In 1902 he was nominated for County Solicitor of the Criminal Ccurt of Rec- ,| ord of Duval County and still holds that office. Bryan is a member of the law firm of Bryan & Bryan, his partner being Nathan P. Bryan, chairman of the State Educational Board of Control. He has been active in politics, and at pres- ent ig a member of the Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee, of which Duncan U. Fletcher is chairman.

Mr. Doyle x of the unwritten stories of Ok- lahoma -politics is that Mr. Bryan for a time seriously. considered moving to Oklahoma to lead the fight for state- hood, with the assurance that in re- turn therefor he should be one of the first United States senators. It was in 1902, when the cause of statehood looked the darkest and when the state- hood advocates were convinced that the only chance to secure the right of seif- government in this generation lay in inducing a leader of ‘national promi- rence to lead the fight. “Following a conference of Demo- cratic workers who were interested in single statehood, I was commissioned to see Mr. Bryan and lay the proposition before him. I joined him on a train us he was passing through Oklahoma en route to Texas, and broached the sub- ject. Mr. Bryan gave me to understaud then that he would much nrather be) United States Senator from a great State than President, and promised te take the proposal of the Oklahoma Dem- ocrats under consideration. “Several days later, as he was re- turnime to his home in Nebraska, he told me that, as alluring as the offer looked to him in a way, he could not see how he could afford to ‘take the step; that he had his newspaper plant established in Lincoln and other inter- ests there that could net be transferred inent New York manufactu A vecibelivela overproduction at the ‘time of a tight money market nia rers a violent struggle to sell their extremely fins rai der to realize on them.

Seventh and St. Charles Streets Just a Word of Comment About This New Business and Its Location ‘The Heart of the New-Shopping District’’ A BOUT a year and a half ago we started this business in the Dolph Building, corner of Seventh and Locust, occupying the second floor. Last March we moved into our present quar- ters, the “Mills Building,” which occupies the half-block on Seventh street between St. Charles and Washington avenue, where our business has steadily grown from day to day. HEN this building was being erected for us by the ‘‘ Mills Building Company,’’ it was thought by many to be too far from the then retail district, and that trade would not come t9 Seventh street for many years. But subsequent developments have proven to the contrary, and have shown the wisdom of our selecting this location; for in less than one year the various changes which have been made, and the many contemplated s00n to be made; establishes this location as “The Heart of the New Shopping District.” WF. propose celebrating this confirmation of our good business judgment with a-real up-to-date, price- cutting clearing sale that will long be remembered.

‘ HOTEL BEAT Romer, Who Had Secretary -Cited, Once Had Photo in Rogue’s Gallery. AUSTIN IS MYSTERIOUS : Lawyer Says He Kaows Little of His Other Client’s Identity.

By Leased Wire From the New York | _ Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YO-...., Dec. 24.—There has been much spéculation in financial circles as to the identity of George W. Austin and George A. Romer, whose names figure in the’ injunction proceedings brought against Secretary Cortelyou to restrain him from completing the delivery of the Panama bonds recently allotted banks. _ Justice Gould, of the District Supreme Court in Washington, has cited Secre- ' tary Cortelyou to show cause on Jan- uary 3, why the injunction should not be ‘granted. The men assert that their bid was higher and better than that of the banks. | Henry M.

WASHINGUsUN, Dec. 26.—Senator Dol- liver of Iowa, who is to take the stump} in hig home state early in January to urge the re-election of his colleague, Senator Allison, has started a little Ana- nias Club of his own and has e Gov. A. B, Cummins charter member. Gov. Cummins {fs a candidate for the Senate against Allison, and the an- nouncement of his candidacy, according to Dolliver, was his initiation into the fraternity founded by Preekient Roose- velt. Some time ago Ricates Dolliver showed letters from Gov. Cummins which were taken to mean that the executive would not make the race for the Senate @zainst Allison. In addition, Dolliver as- serts, the Governor gave a verbal pledge not to enter the ring. Cummins denied it, and issued an announcement to the effect that he was a candidate for the Senate, the Governorship, the presidency, or any other little office that might. come his way. So Dolliver and Cummins have signed articles for the preliminary, and when they take the platform to fight out the question of veracity, at least one of them will qual- ify for the Big Show in Washington, provided he can get the President’s ap- proval. RANCHMAN BRYAN BOOMER PICTURED, DINED AND JAILED Buffalo Editor Gives Nebraskan Start and Police Bring About Finish. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 26.—Norman BE. Mack, Demccratic committeeman and editor of the Buffalo Evening Times, is wondering who Johnson E. Fitzstin- mons of Omaha is. Mr. Fitzsimmons came to town two weeks ago and an- nounced himself as a ranchman from Nebraska and unqualifiedly for Bryan, which pleased Mr. Mack, a. Bryan boormier. He printed Fitzsimmons’ pic: ture on the front page, with an inter- view to match. And now Fitz is in Jail on a charge of petit larceny aris- ing out of a transaction involving an $18 overcoat.

When he arrived Fitzsimmons went to the City Hall, where he met Mayor Adam, Sheriff Smith, City Clerk Swee- ney, Alderman Fuhrmann and other of- ficials. Meantime the City Hotel, where he was registered, threw him out for nonpayment of his bill. It is rumored that Fitzsimmons borrowed from a larze number of new acquaintances. but how much nene of them will admit. Saturday afternoon he called on an East Side clothier, and, showing him his picture in the Times, obtained an $18 overcoat, giving a check. The clothier became suspicious and had him arrested.

POVERTY AND CHILDHOOD. Until a time easily within the memory of men BOW living, Christmas gifts were bestowet chiefly upon children and the poor. Thére is no dahger that this feature of the great celebration will be altogether overlooked, but sometimes, in the tremendous commercjal activity which universal gift-making causes, there seems to be special need of an insistent reminder that the needy, and particularly the children of the needy, shall not be overlooked. Throuzh the. generous and self-sacrificing la- bors and contributions of thousands of its read- ers, the Post-Dispatch is able to report this year the greatest of all Christmas Festivals ‘in’ St. Louis—one which fed and cheered the hungry and forlorn, which carried. surprise and delight to neglected childhood and which, better than all, perhaps, moistened the eyes of human sym- pathy in every section of this great and busy city. It was an. extensive and a noble work, splen- didly planned and thoroughly accomplished, It Was an educator and a civilizer. It has benefited | those who gave as well as those who received. The Post-Dispatch congratulates both, and be- ‘eves that ‘only.good will flow from it.

Of course, with the leisure assured to women in fam- ilies of wealth, there is little left for them to do, and they are responsible for. all this mad rush after social en- tertainment, which evidently is about to rula our college@.

OVE,” said Mrs. Elinor Glyn, talking at the Pen - gnd Brush Club in New York, ‘is a trinity. It is body and soul and the hasrechy to reproduce love's image” Dk choke he denteick aabidag Sadaiedly € te 6 Ont et ample of Mrs. Glyn’s style and point of view. It might have been taken bodily from her book, which has re- cently disputed popularity with the other epidemic of grippe now raging in the East. Apparently there is a widespread demand for pru- rient platitudes like the one I have quoted, and . think that if Mrs. Glyn really wants to make money—and I have a strong suspicion to that effect—she should aban- don playwriting and establish a Correspondence School of Fascination in New York, “How to Be a Siren in Six Lessons for $5, Success Guaranteed or Your Money Back”’ ‘would, I 2m sure, meet a new need created among the adinitors of Mrs. Glyn’s lurid heroine, the Imperatorskdéye. “Teaching Men to Live, Even Though They Would Rather Die,” would make an interesting and instructive course, though the militant methods of the Glyn siren might have to be modified to be of any practical use in America. For the process of “hanging” insane patients recently uncoverea at Ward's Island has a precedent among Mrs. Glyn's heroines, who have the pleasing habit of winding their raven tresses around a man’s neck and similarly chok- ing him into submission. How to accomplish this feat mie+t mark the first lesson in allurement which would in many cases entail a complementary course in hair culture or else the use of a wig. For comparatively few women are endowed with uair enough to strangle a man with, unles4 to be sure, he happens to swallow one. “And in that event a fishbone would be more efficacious. “How to be a Tigress, Demonstrations with apother instructive topic. “The Right Inflection of Pet Names,with Particular Attention to ‘‘ Saby’ as an Endearing Diminutive” should follow, to be succeeded in turn by a course iu touching farewells (with variations.on the inspired action of the Imperator- skoye who, “having loved accordiug to Mrs. Glyn’s definition of love as a trinity Live Model,” might furnish wrote an inspired farewell to the man she had uplifted and left him 4s ze. last love token a collar for his dog!

Game Is a Comedy. to 1600 persons witnessed the and all agreed that the contest t least the greatest comedy that be staged. The same may be e where cage elle equally “ee bad as letic Park. the score at Athietic Park was lained of fosling ill and would not vinto the contest. Finnegan's ab- from game hurt. iliie Fo- Ls Pad ' The main cause for the poor playing of the picked team was the utter lack ~4 team work exhibited by the~forward ne. be back of the halfbacks. When ‘they did get the bail they would fool along with it, not being able to pass to their partner until a icago man would step in and take the leather right off their toes. Donald and Chew Shine. All that saved the Athletic Park team from an overwhelming defeat was the good work of Fullback. Donald and Goalkeeper Chew. Fullback Murphy did od work at times also. Eddie ‘‘Red’ Ryan was the star of the game until he became too water-soaked and mud-encrusted to get up any speed. / For awhile Peltier’ at center forward did some great work for the cked team. He carried the ball the ength of the fleld on several occasions, but later either tired and came to the con- Clusion that it was no use. for his play- ing .slumped considerably. Mike Devaney was the one player on the St. Louis team who could handle the ball in the mud. Mike is short, stocky and as strong as a bull. He would catch the ball nicely with his feet and pass rapidly, but half the time there was nobody to receive the leather. That was not Devaney’s fault, as they should have been in their positions. Evans Star of Visitors. For Chicago Jack Evans was the star. In the first hulf it was amusing to see the way Evans would start down the edge of the field with the ball, carry- ing the ball past first one St. Louis man and then the other. He swung the ball for goal perfectly. Geale at full- back also did some good work. Haggerty scored for St. Lou's shortly: after the game opened. A. Watt shot the ball through and tied the: score shortly afterwards. Fullback Murphy oe the picked team kicked the ball cy gy his own goal while trying to boot t out before the half ended, giving the Blues a 2-1 lead at the end of the first 45 minutes of play. In the second half A. Watt-scored again for the Blues. Near the end of the game Pete Rati- can, on a ss from McNIff,. sent the ball : through the. Blues’ goal. McNiff was badly off in his playing all through the ‘game. Coal Cities Lead Easily. Because the forward line did not have any team work the Coal City players ‘were able to keep the bal) in St. Louls serestoey nearly all the time at Kulage Park nce in a while Jimmy Donohue or “Butch” Ammons would pick the ball out of a bunch and start down the ‘field. When attacked by the Chicago backs they would leok about for their teammates to to, but there would be nothing doing in the passing iine for the reason “hat the other stars would be playing out of their positions. As a result, the man with the ball Koay make a. lon ng pass and a Coal ty forward would step in and boot the ball to one of his own forwards. But for the excellent work of Tully in goal and Boucher and Graham, fullbacks, there is no telling what the score would have n. The trio did their best, out with the ball being shot for goal every couple, of minutes some of the shots were bound to be good. Tallman Stars on Field. Henry Tallman was the bright star of the Chicago team. He scored three of the four goals credited to Chicago. The only time that the St. Louls eleven showed a flash of class w at tne start of the second half, when, getting the ball on the kick-off, the forwards managed to rush it.to the vicinity of the Chicago goal. The local men were unable to score after several efforts and the Coal City players then settled down to business and kept the ball in St. Louis territory for the rest of the game.

NGBUAT SURE OF LONDON ENTRY}

Will Be Reinstated by Canadians Despite A. A. U. Adverse Action. meaninits &

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—American athletes are discussing the peculiar position in which they are likely to be}. placed by an expected action of the Canadian Athletic Association. It is said on good authority that the Ca- nadian will reinstate Longboat, the Indian runner who was suspended by both the Canadian Association and the Amateur Athletic Union on charges of professionalism. The reason given for this action is the Cunadians’ desire to enter a team at the Olympic. games in London next summer. Longbgat will doubtless rove a winning card at the meet in hawt It is not likely, however, that the Amateur Athletic Union will remove the suspension against the Indian, in which case no American athlete could enter the race against him in London.

COCHEMS' STARS DOWNCAST OVER DEFEAT AT SPOKANE ABN, di Las ee

“-_— Mae St. Louis U. Players, Bruised and Battered Prepare to Defeat Portland Eleven.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 26.—Battered, scratched and bruised, the whole concern of the St. Louis University football eleven to- day is centered on the question as to what their friends back home will think of their defeat by the Washington State College team in this city Christmas afternoon, A defeat is a defeat. ond time in two years Christmas day. 11 to 0. St. Louis U. was defeated for the sec- Luck, the condition of the field, the cold weather and a biting snowstorm must be taken into 2onsideration. The field was covered with ice. It is in a natural ampitheater, with the sides sloping. The water ran down and cov- ered the field and then froze and made & glare of ice. In spots there was a thin sheet of water with ice over the top. When a player would be thrown on one of the small ponds he would crack the ice and the sharp pieces gashed several of Cochems’ men. The St. Louis players were less ac- customed to the cold weather than their opponents. The blizzard from _ the mountains numbed and stiffened up the Southwestern champions. The men asked Cochems to have the game called several times. In the second half the game was called with 5 minutes yet to play of the 35-minute halfs. Jack Kenney is today suffering from a sprained ankle that will keep him out of the game with the Multnomah A. C. at Portland, Ore., New Year's after- noon. Most of the men are bruised and sore. Murphy and Schneider afe suf- fering from slightly frost-bitten ears. All of&the men are more concerned that the St. Louis public learn the conditions under which they were defeated than the defeat. At that, the St. Louls University team put up a great game. ‘Two fumbles cost “ochems’ men the game. Fuinbles, when @ man’s hands and arms are en- crusted. with ice, are not such awfy] blunders Unfortunately both happened near St. Lou's U.’s goal and resulted in touchdowns. In the first half St. Louis U. held: Washington to a 0—0 score. In the second peried of play Acker fumbled on his own 20-yard line. Rader of Washington fell on the ball. Wexler went around Capt. Clarence Kenney at right end for a touchdown. Kenney or none of the other members of the St. Louis team attempted to stop Wexler, as they thought that the referee had ead his whistle; declaring the ball ead. There was a long wrangle over the play, but Washington was allowed the touchdown. Shortly afterwards Wash- ington punted. The ball was fumbled by Robinson on his own five-yard line, and Rader, by a dive, grabbed the pig- skin and slid the five cards on the ice across the goal line. The Washington team is withoat doubt an excellent eleven. The men out- weighed St. Louis U. The Washington Players are coached by Bender of braska. He told his men to stick to straight football, as they had ‘the weight, and on the slippery field they should make use of their. advantage. They did. whirling tandem at center, which the St. Louis U. men were unable to stop, and it was their most useful play. St. Louis U. tried the’ forward pass, tut because of the wet, slippery ball and the unsteady footing, it was a failure. After the game. one of. the admirers of the St. Leuis team weighed the suit worn by Jack Kenney in the dress- ing reom. It tipped the beam at exactly 38 pounds, including the ice, mud and water. but Klobey was the-stronger and

Galligan was: knocked out in the fifth round at the National Athletic Club Christmas afternoon by Young Erne of this city. Erne had the better of Galligan at every stage, drew blood from his nose and mouth, knocked him down in. the third round and simply bided his time to land the fatal punc Galligan proved game and aggressive and got to Erne’s body with hard left swings, but his iack of defense proved his undoing before Erne, who in addition to his cleverness and speed, is just now beginning te develop a very hard punch in both hands.

In the conflict between dolis and Ted- dy bears for supremacy in popularity, opinion of prominent women who give 2=ny presents is divided.” That the doll has been neglected and left un- sold on the shop shelves, and that the Teddy bear has been sold in surpris- ing quantities, is the report of St. Louis shopkeepers. But the Teddy bear crazs has died out in New York, where the doll is re-established in the affections of the children. Thinks They Will Stay. Mrs, John ©. Roberts of Partridge ave- nue believes the Teddy bears will sur- vive on their own merits regardless of popularity refiected from President Roosevelt. Mrs. Roberts said: “S. think children like Teddy beara better than dolls because they are more Ufelike. I cannot see why a child should prefer an inanimate object like a doll, My children have never had TO COAL FLEET

. — Work at Port of Spain Will Be Rushed for Sailing on Saturday.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Dec. 26.— Coaling of Admiral Evans’ armada was resumed today and is being rushed rapidly. It is expected that there will be no difficulty in filling every bunker by the time set for the fleet's departure. It is the intention to turn the vessels’ prows southward again Saturday. There were not so many shore leaves today as on Christmas eve and Christ- day. It was unticipated that the fleet's working force would be needed aboard ship directly after the holiday, and, so far'as possible, it was arranged to let the men take a turn on dry land before the task of coaling began in earnest. Part of the time yesterday between 6000 and 7000 American blue jackets roamed the streets of Port of Spain. There never was a more orderly crowd and the local authorities are speaking in high praise of the excellence of the visitors’ behavior. The crews declare the Christmas cele-, bration a success. It was a ‘green Christmas,” for there never is much sleightng at Port of Spain, but it was royally observed. No one at home could have had a finer dinner; gifts were liberally distributed—the fleet brought great quantities of them from Hamp- ton Roads to be opened Christmas day— and athletic contests which occupied the forenoon were a success. The men were rather sorry repairs were .completed on the damaged craft in the torpedo boat flotilla so soon that the little fleet left while the cele- bration was at its height. The flotilla will be well on its way down the South American coast by the time the main fleet sails.

NY. STOCKS CONTINUE WEAR; SMALL TRADING bk Losses Are General, but for Most Part Confined to Small Fraction.

————————— NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 10 a. m.—The stock market this morntng continued in the course that it followed in the clos- ing hours of Tuesday’s session. With only a few unimportant excéptions, the prices of stocks continued to recede, al- though only in a small fractional way. Several stocks opened at parity, in- cluding Steel preferred, Northern Pa- cific, Great Northern and” Reading. In the first 15 minutes of trading there Wag a downward tendency jn almost all the issues, which suggests lower prices later on in the session. Great Northern and New York Cen- tral were two standard rail stocks that evidenced early weakness, the former losing % point in 14s than half a dozen sales. Reading, on the other hand, was a emall fraction higher at the end of the first half hour and was fairly active. American Sugar, which opened 4% point higher, had sagged 1% points in the early trading. Other industrials were also weak, but trading in them was much restricted. The London Stock Exchange was close, it being a ay 3 in Ps chy NEW YORK, Dec The forenoon hours of tne on a yo veloped no particular features. Prices continued to move down, though in one or two instances were the recessions of any importance. On a rather active market American Sugar lost almost 32 points from its opening.

cents. FLEET’S VOYAGE NOT ONE OF PEACE, DECLARES ARCHBISHOP In his sermon at the o]d Cathedral Christmas morning Archbishop John J. Glennon declared that it was hypocrisy to call the sailing of the American fleet a mission of peace. The Archbishop had been making a plea for peace be- tween man and man, caste and class, nation and nation. He said he regretted very much that The Hague conference was largely a failure because it made very little progress in the cause of pqace or the disarmament of nations. ‘It does not accord very well with the Christmas time that our Aeet should go around the world ready for a fight,’’ said the Archbishop. - “It is only hy- pocrisy to eall it a mission of peace, when the vessels are prepared for war. "It wor'd accord better with the policy of the GoVernment to call a spade a spade.”’ « > > 7 APPLICATIONS TO ORGANIZE. Cincinnati, lo.—First National Bank. capi- tal $25,000; N. A. Robertson.
