TWO MEN LIVE DESPITE BROKEN EK AD BE — Fatal * — of Recovery. 4 * Iya Surgeons at the Deaconess and the City Hospitals are puzzled by the cases of two men, both of whom, though with injuries ordinarily fatal, and with- out proper treatment for five days in one case and nine lays in the other, are still alive with a chance of. recovery. One man has a broken neck and the other a broken back. When Robert Tidd, 68 years old, fell in the dark down a flight of 12 steps at his home, 3129 Pine street, alighted on his head and fractured the fifth cer- vical vertebra, he picked himself up, wet a bandage in hot water and tied it around his neck. He Celebrates Christmas, The following day, Christmas, he cele- brated with his family, and had no dif- ficulty in eating his usual quota of turkey. The next day, feeling consid- erable pain, he did not go to work in his blacksmith shop, but continued to apply the hot towel to his neck, He lay down once and a while, and expressed wonder that ‘that stiff neck didn’t get better.’"’ But the pain increaSed until Sunday, when it became so intolerable that he asked a policeman to take him to the City Hospital.

Order Superinter- dent Declares He Will Noi Cover Shortage. Postmaster Wyman has demanded of Peter G. Linchey, son-in-law of Col. Ed Brtler and former superintendent of the Postoffice money order division, that he pay $4129.13 to cover the shortage in postal funds caused by the embezzle- ment of Elmér Smith, clerk at the substation in store of Joseph Maserang Jr. Mr. Linchey says he will not pay the money and that he thinks Mr. Wyman’s dernand is “‘only a bluff.’’ He declares that Mr. Wyman has made a similar demand on Thomas C.

Mr, Wyman’'s letter to Mr. Linchey js dated two days before Christmas. It was sent to Mr. Linchey at Col. But- ler’s residence, 3601 Pine street. Inas- much as Mr. Linchey had resigned his position as superintendent of the money order division Jan. 28, 190, he was startled to receive the Postmaster’s let- ter. ‘Mr. Wyman’s letter recalls to Mr. Lirchey the fact that Elmer Smith was found to be short $6173.63 in his accounts as clerk at Stoddard Station and Sta- tion No. 9, Jan. 5, 19%; that Smith was tried and convicted and an effort Was made to recover the amount dune the drug ————— to. $5175.63; and t ‘farthes-realised ofremr — supposed to have been pur— chased by Smith with money stolen frdin the Government, leaving the Post- offiee’s logs at $4139.13.

Mr. Wyman then tells Mr. Linchey that while in Washington about Dec. 13, the matter of settling the account was taken up by the Assistant Attorney- General for the Postoffice Department and that that official advised Mr. Wy- man to ascertain if any employe of the Postoffice was responsible for the loss of the money or the failure of its recov- ery, through lack of faithful perform- ance of his duty. The Postmaster then notifies Mr. Linchey that he was superintendent of the money-order division at the time Smith managed to get $6173.68 of the Government's money on fraudulent mon- ey orders. It seems that his plan was to apply to the superintendent’s office for orders of small denomination and then to issue therm with largely in- creased figures and obtain money on them himself. “Ii appears that Elmer Smith,’’ Mr. Wyman writes, “in order to secure fraudulently the money of the United States, issued orders for $100 payable at St. Louis, Mo., and the record of h's station and the daily statements submit- ted to you showed the amount of the application, which, in the case of the $100 orders, would usually be for a small amount like $1.25. Inquiry Needed, He Says. “It was incumbent upon you as super- intendent, before making payment of an unusual number of money orders drawn at a station of this office on the main office in sums of $100 each, to make dili- gent inquiry as to the validity of these orders. The material at hand was on file in your office. Had you compared eny one of these fraudutently issued purders with the daily statement filed in your office from Station No. 9 (Maser. ang’s), you would have discovered this fraud immediately.” GIRL’S GOWN BURNS AS SHE LEADS THE GRAND MARCH AT CHARITY BALL ' Special to the Post-Dispatch.

With a resounding and prolonged roar, nearly half the thick east wall of the old three-s.ory brick building at 913 Pine street gave way Tuesday and slid into 4 the excavation for McTague’s Marylapd Hotel, in course of erection at the north- west corner of Ninth and Pine streets.

Irwin, who were in the building, escaped unhurt, with a tailor employed in their cleaning and dyeing establishment on the first floor. They do not know the tallor’s name, and he did not return after his flight during the cave-in. Gives Alarm and - Flees. Irwin says he heard the wall crack- ing and became frightened. When the plaster fell he gave the alarm and filed with his companions. He and his son lived on the second floor of the build ing and used the third for storage. The steel “skeleton’’ for the hotel has been built to the seventh story, and 2 workmen were scattered over it when the wall gave way. It happened that none was in the basement on the west side ot the site. All those aloft hast- ened to the ground, and work was sus- pended an hour. Chief Swingley announced at 1 p. m. that he will have the building torn down Tuesday night or Wednesday merning. Ropes have been stretched about it to prevent danger to pedestrians. Ballt by L. C.

Dameron, who was publisher a quarter of a century ago of a Church of the Disciples periodical and whose wife was one of the Lindell heirs, con- structed the building 4#.years ago for a home, «nd it was in its day an im- posing residence. For a time Mr. Dam.- eron published the periodical tn the basement, then he moved out of the place. He diced 18 years ago. The place became a icdging house, where young men-about-town had apartments.

Rear Admiral Brownson, who was forced by President Roosevelt frorn the office of Chief. of the Bureau of Navi- gation a few days ago, contended that the navy sfiould have complete control of hospital ships. Surgeon-General Rixey disputed the Rear Admiral’s: po- sition and charged in a public interview that he had been too much interfered with by the Bureau of Navigation.” President Roosevelt's settlemen of that controversy is generally applauded by the surgeons meeting here. Several of them asserted that the medical corps of the army and navy has been inefficient and neglectful because of the baneful influence exercised by the commanding military officers. r—~_- Want Doctor in Cabinet. The creation.of a cabinet portfolio to. be devoted to the Interests of the medical profession is unanimously rec- ommended. Dr. G. N. Kreider, editor of the IIlli- nois Medical Journal, says the medical department of the army and navy is severely handicapped under present con- ditions. “In the Japanese army,” he said, “the doctors have a department of their own and the line officers are not permitted to interfere with them. “The Japs learned in their war with Russia that the medical men required independent authority. The result was the Japanese army and navy took far better care of thelr wounded than did the Russians, where the army officers still boss the physicians. . Doctors Nonentities Here. “In Germany and France the doctors have high political standing and ¢xer- cise considerable influence in army. cirf- cles; But under Uncle Sam we haye. been practical nonentitics so far. as military affairs are concerned.” Dr. H. lL. Nietert, former superintend- ent of the St. Louis City Hospital, said: ,certain to redound to the benefit of the ‘medical’ profession. It is the first time we have received: recognition from the ee an * BE. H. Levins, Milwaukee: No one 5 think of placing a general in control ef an army hospital. ‘What more reason is there for per- mitting a rear admiral to take charge of a hospital ship, which ‘is ode sub- ject to the attack of the enemy? The surgeon knows where the * ought to go and how to take care of the in- jured. The President is right and we take off our hats to him.’ Dr. Cc. A. L. Reed, .Cincinnati: What we need and should have is a place in the Cabinet. We are all glad that Sur- geon-General Rixey expressed himself so vigorously in reply to Rear Admiral Brownson. Comparison Is Made. Dr. J. R. Hollowbush, Rock Island: A railroad freight agent might as well Lrun the railroad’s hospital as to have rear admirals or other officers, not members of the medical profession, commanding on our hospital ships. Dr. E. A. Babler; St. Louis: There can be no doubt of the correctness of the President's position. Rear-Admiral Brownson should not have ‘butted in.’ + Dr. Je Minahan, Green Bay, Wis.: Every important interest is represented in the presidential Cabinet. hy not the medical ——— which cares for the lives and welfare of the people?

At the same time, do not wish to go on record as approving everything Presi- dent Roosevelt does.

The saloons yare closed and the community is prohibition on paper, but all that is necessary now to accumulate the most ¢lassic souse the old Territory ever ptodiiced is the in- clination. The material. can ve scooped out of the guftérs or lifted out of the most conventent manhole with’a bucket. When ‘the frohibition law went into effect the New State Brewery, owned by the. Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co. of St. Louts, had 2300 barrels of beer, valued at $18, 406, stored in vats and tanks and could neither sell it nor ship it out of the State. The manager of the brewery didn’t feel equal to drinking it, so he appealed to the Infernal Reve nue Commissioner in Washington, and was told that he could ‘“‘destroy” it un- der the supervision of an internal reve- nue inspector. . The- only method of de- stroying it that the manager could think of was to dump it into the sewers. Hard on the System, The sewer system in Oklafpma City has its limitations. It tried hard to get away with 2300 barrels of beer, but it was too big a load to carry. The beer backéd up into the gutters and over- flowed the &treets. Within half an hour there was. the most comprehensive. col- lection of jags ever seen in this locaity. Everybods with a beer thirst, who wasn’t actually bedridden, turned out, carrying anything that wouldn't leak. They scooped up the beer in buckets, | tin cans, even their hats. The Fire | Department was called out to help bail out the gutters, and the members worked until they dropped from exhaus- tion or other causes. Men drove up with barréls, filled them with beer and drove away. Others sat on the walks and drank as much as they could dis- (pose of—and continued to sit there.

CROSSING DEATH TRAP FOR MAN Gates Are Lifted and Charles Pohl and Team Are ‘Killed.

Elevate the tracks and stop the grade crossing slaughter. An unguarded grade crossing was & death trap for Charles Pohi, who was instantly killed when a Missouri Pacific passenger trafm dashed into his pwagee at Sublette avenue. The presence of gates and a watch- man failed to afford safety to Pohl, who was permitted to drive to his death Mon- day evening while the railroad employe stood near, flag in. hand. Jerry Lively, the watchman, says Pohl saw the train and insisted on being al- lowed to cross ahead of it. He raised the gates, which he had lowered, and Pohl started his team across.. Hurled Far to Side. As the horses stepped over the rails, the engine of the westbound Kirkwood accommodation struck.,the wagon, be- tween the horses and the man. Man and horses were hurled far to the side of the track. : The train was stopped and’a physician got off. He picked up the body of Pohl, and told bystanders to notify the Morgue. Both the horses were dead. Pohl was an employe of Patrick Mar- tin, and lived with him at 134 Chouteau avenue. He was 50 years old. The Sublette avenue grade crossing is one of a chain of dangerous crossings fon thé Missouri Pacific and Frisco lines between Union Station and the city lim- its.

This is fulse—monstrously false. Our life in Hempstead for nine years Was an open book. We were happy. “It was not until he made the acquain- tance of Miss Whaley that I noted any change in him.

Gov. Folk Tuesday told a Post-Dis- patch reporter over the telephone that he expected to make a New Year's an- nouncement of the appointment of Au- drew C. Maroney as Circuit Judge to succeed Jesse A. McDonald, who has resigned. As chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners, the Governor says, he has selected E. 8S. Lewis, a well-known St. Louis business man. Objection Raised Before. It is learned that the legal objection to Mr. Maroney’s appointment » was ralsed at the time Mr. Maroney was transferred from the Election Board to the Police Board. Att6érney-General Hadley held that the statute providing that an Election Com- missioner can hold no other office during his term does not apply in the event the Commissioner has resigned. “I am anticipating a verification of that decision from Mr. Hadley today,” seid Gov. Folk. ’ “Just a8 soon as it is received I shal! forward commissions to Messrs. Ma- roney and Lewis. No decision has beer reached as yet regarding Mr. Stewart's successor on the Police Board.

WAS THERE GRAFT IN PAVING NG CONTRACTS? Does the gross favoritism laid bare in the city’s deals with paving/combines spell graft? Thé rec- ord ‘which the Post-Dispatch has spread before the people chdllenges the grand jury with this question, by a showing of facts of a nature to compel searching investigation. - The case of the bitulithic concern especially presents indications which intelligence cannot ignore. Here was a brand-new pavement hardly tested which the city authorities appeared eager tc take on faith. About two millions’ worth of bitulithic contracts were let, in many instances despite the lawful petitions of a majority of resi- dents designating other material. In the ordi- nances drawn by the Board of Public Improve- _ ments special and protected materials were speci- - fied which were exclusively controlled by the bitu- lithic concern. A barren pretence of competitive ‘bidding was made for the work. ~ That the undemonstrated pavement cost vastly more than other pavements did not appear to weigh against it. On thé contrary it received e marked preference-and official favor. For sev- _ eral years it “aad e call.” ‘Furthermore, thée<ten-year guarantee which had _ been required of other contractors was reduced to seven yéars by the Board of Public Improvements, seeniingly in the interest. of bitulithic, though asphalt came within the rule also. Later, in 1906, the rule was reduced to five years—and this notwithstanding that bitulithic had by that time amply demonstrated itself, requiring complete re- surfacing in some instances and expensive patch- ing in others. _It is estimated that the reduction of the main-_ tenance guaranty will cost the taxpayers many thousands of dollars for repairs on bitulithic _pavements alone, which should have been done - by the contractors if the city’s attitude towards _ them had not been unduly lenient. - Can this record be explaincd by the charitable hypothesis of mere bad business, mere loose _methods, mere innogent favoritism, by city offi- cials? Were the officials simply incompetents who were imposed upon? These explanations do mot age altogether reasonable. ' A plain recital of the facts seems to carry a different meaning. It certainly raises the ques- ‘tion, if not the presumption, of graft. Was there _ graft somewhere, and if so where was it? Who wero the guilty? These inquiries must be answer- ved —— by the grand jury. — = MISSOURI’S HUNGRY REPUBLICANS. They used to say that the Democratic machine in Vermont wanted to keep the party in that State as small as possible so that in the event of a national Democratic victory there would be Iccal offices enough to go around. ß Judging by its call for the election of delegates to the State Convention, the Republican machine a= Missouri is controlled by the same purpose. ) By ignoring the Republican City organization in — Louls and’ undertaking to secure the election ates here without its participation the f ) Committee enters upon an important na- tional campaign with a schism of the first magni- tude. ' -f ‘When political organizations become so greedy for the spoils that they fight over ‘their division _ & advance of their possession they are not likely te prove very formidable at the polls. Missouri Republicans ought not to be so des- _ perately hungry as to be unable to behave them- while the dinner is being prepared and the | table spread.

So Grovet Cleveland, ‘“‘the last of the Democrats,” as he has been called; is not alone in his stultification, If Mr. Cleveland were in want his advocity of pensions for ex-Presidents would be excused on ‘srounds of necessity, for privation imminent or actual is not to be reasoned with, but, as he ad- mits, he is beyond the need of assistance from the public. He thus speaks fer others and a8 one wedded to a principle. . The principle is that which is involved in civil If Presidents are to be Sensioned so also must be Senators and Representatives, Cabi- 1.et officers and Ambassadors, clerks and account- ants. There is nothing to. be said in favor of the one which will not apply with equa] force to the other. Democratic doctrine has resisted this proposi- tion from the first. Jefferson himself, the first ot the ex-Presidents to come to want, refused proffered assistance from the State but gratefull) accepted a public lottery scheme which was not far removed from charity. For a hundred years nothing stirred Democrats more profoundly than the suggestion of a civil pension. Now Mr. Cleveland not only advocates a rich pension for former Presidents but he couples with his recommendation the assertion, quite as of- fensive to Democratic sensibilities, that there are many kinds of work which are “undignif and that the Presidents hold in trust for their fel- low citizens a certain dignity which they are {| bcund to protect against loss or deterioration. ~ There may be passages in the writings of Alex- ander Hamilton or Gouverneur Morris which emphasize the class idea as strongly as this, but it will be difficult to find them. They believed ir superior orders and estates. They plainly avowed their contempt for the people. They would have had only * well-born and the well- to-do in office. Most Americans, on the contrary, have taken pride in the humble occupations which some of the Presidents followed in their early lives. Since the days of John Quincy Adams nearly al] o* them have come up from poverty and toil, the present incumbent being the ¢ one conspicuous ex- ception. Nothing appeals with greater fascination to most people than the fact that the occupant of the White House was once experienced in the gospel of hard knocks like themselves and that whether as farmer or canal boy, tailor or tanner, clerk in a store or schoolmaster, mechanic or ccuntry lawyer, he was accustomed to work and familiar with deprivation. If we deliberately choose men with these ante- cedents for President and glory in it, what oc- cupation that a former executive is likely to hit upon in case of necessity need be regarded as un- dignified? If the Jeffersonian philosophy cannot carry a man safely beyond these breakers he has been leaning upon a broken reed. In his prime Mr. Cleveland’s democracy had some false notes but none more discordant than this. In his vigor he was the scourge of the poli- ticians. What he now advocates would do more to establish professional place-seekers and place- holders as a class than anything that he ever did te destroy them. Civil pensions based upon the idea that officenolding conferred merit and made labor degrading would lead straight to a classism as objectionable as that of England. The problem of what to do with ex-Presidents i: not an important one. It has solved itself thus far very agreeably. No doubt it will do the same in the future. The spectacle of a former President actually. working: for a living would neither degrade him in public estimation nor militate against the true democratic spirit of the people. This is the glory of the Republic. The hum- blest may be called for a season to the seats of the mighty. Their service ended, their power ard emoluments fall from them automatically, leaving no’trace: They are not set apart forever. They came from the people and it is to the people, honored and beloved, that, with duty well done, they return. | When the last of the Democrats preaches aris- tocracy, privilege and flummery, what may we not expect from the full-fledged Hamiltonians who are now everywhere in the saddle? 5 AA i — LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. A Job for for Stone. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Recently L saw that Daniel J. Kelley, the much- wanted alum) baking powder briber, was in France sufferiis from, remorse, loneliness, a stricken con- science and other ills which his crime in Missouri has brought down on him, willing to give anything to be able to return to this country without fear of prosecution. I also see that Senator William J. Stone, who made the Missouri Health Society famous by being its first and only President, ts preparing to open his campaign for re-election. Senator Stone al- ways claimed that the only way he figured in the historic baking powder scandal was as attorney for the company which Kelley represented and that all he did was to plainly and to the best of his ability discharge his duty as a paid legal adviser. As one of the two senators from Missouri it is now the p'ain duty of Stone to discharge this trust to his utmost. He can begin by taking steps to bring Kelley back to this State t6 face the music. As Senator from Missouri hé ig attorney for this State and for its people. That’is what he draws his salary for, not for merely going to Washington, looking wise, do’ng nothing and then returning to Missouri to live a life of ease until Congress once more meets. B. P. MULA.

The first of these foreign celébrations will be that of the Greeks and Russians and a few other nationalities which adhere to old style dates. They will havé New Year on Jan, 14, 13 days later than the New Year of the ne style. Next in order comes the Chi- nese New Year, on Feb, 13, and, but a day later, Feb. 14, comes the Mo- hammedan first day of the year. The Jewish New Year falls nearly nine months later, about the middle of September, on the first day of the month of “Tishri.” The celebrations will vary both in accordance with the religions of the varioum people and their climatic, ra- cial *and national characteristics. With the Greeks, Russians, Servians, Bulgarians and Macedonians, all of whom adhere to the Greek Catholic Church, New Year is one of the most pleasant if not the pleasantest fes- tival of the year. With the Jews, on the contrary, the New Year, Rosh Hashana, as it is called, is far from being a pleasant affair. It is a day of retribution of judgment. It is pre- ceded by weeks of prayer, fasting and pentience, and is followed by ten days known as the days of repent- ance, which wind up with Yom Kip- pur, the day of atonement, a most grewsome and weird day, dreaded by every orthodox Jew.

Jack London's “White Fang’ and Conan Doyle's “Sir Nigel,” while in thé Het, were a long distance below the leaders. In February Ralph Connor's “The Dector’” came with a rush, and led ‘‘Jane Cable,’’ the second book, by 106 points. “Coniston’ was third, but was closely pressed by Mr. MacGrath’s newly published ‘Half a Rogue.” “The Doctor” led again in March, but had no great margin, of super- tority over ;“Halt a Rogue.” Two new books, Mr. Oppenheim’s “The Male- ctor’ and Lucas Malet’s ‘The Far Horizon,” were in third @nd fourth posi- tons, -whila the wavering “Jage Cable” had only five points advantage over The Mystery.” “The Port 9f Missing Men” led in April with 282 points, hereas nearest competitors, “Half a Rogue” and ‘The Doctor,” had but 6. and points respectively. “The Malefactor’ was fourth, “The Far Horizon” fth, and “‘The Second Generation” sixth.

If you add all the fieures in the first vertical row the sum will be 1908. Add the other vertical rows and you will get the same result; then add each hori- zontal and each diagonal, 1908. But that does not extract all the magic. Take the numbers at each cor- ner, 210, 648, 306 and 744; the sum is 1908. Then take the four cells in the upper left hand corner of the square, 210, 452, 680 and 6566; the sum is 1908. Now take such combinations as the first cell in the upper left (210), the second cell below it (712), the second cell in the last column (242) and the last cell ih the last column (744); there you have a vertica) row taken alternately from two sides of the square and the gum is 1908. Or, 210, 4.v, 584, 744, which are alternate cells on diagonal lines, and the result is the same. A. H. Bell of Litchfield, U. who sent this magic square to the Post-Dis- patch, savs there are 48 combinations, giving 1908 as the sum and he divides them thus: Ten suma from each horizontal, verti- cal and diagonal rows. Ten sums in a square, as 210, G48, 306, 744." 210, 462, 680, 566: 210, 598, 712, 388. Ten sums in rectangular form as 210, 4., 712, 534: 462, 598, 366, 602. Eighteen sums of two numbers symmetric to two others opposite, from center line of the magic square, as 210, 712, 242, 744; 210, 420, 534, 744; 452, 680, #74, 802! 210, 242, 712, 744; eto.

The steam be- hind his arms began to die, and then Papke carried the fight to him. Papke was using that weird upper cut of his and straight lefts. Toward the end of each round Kelly would appear to be just about “all in,”’ but after each rest he would come back with renewed pewer to stand off the terrific milling. They were fighting almost together in the clinches and this helped him to save himself.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 31.—A Uttle after ten rounds of hurricane fighting before the Arena Athletic Club, Young Britt of this city was given the deal- sion over Patsy Kline of Newark in a contest scheduled for 15 rounds. The blow which Kline was disqualified for landed far below the belt, and although not a hard one, Referee Swigert, the ex- pugilist, thought it a deliberate one and promptly disqualified the Newark boy. The decision was not well received by the spectators, as both contestants put up one of the fastest and fiercest bat- tles that ever took place in this city. Up to the time that Kline was disquali- fied, Britt had a shade the best of the contest and would have won in all probability. It was Kline's really long fight, and while he was game to the core he was in a much weaker condition than the Southern champion. Britt was the ag- sressor throughout, but feund Kline willing to give and take. Kline depend- ed entirely on his left hand, using his right but rarely. ~ In the third Britt's right eye was closed, while Kline's left was partially so and he was bleeding from nose and mouth. After this Britt kept on the ag- gressive, gradually wearing his oppo- nent down. Kline landed often with his left, but his blows lacked steam.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.—With the odds at 10 to 7 against him and the expressed opinion, to back up the spec- ulative figures, of prominent fight ex- perts, Owen Moran, the English fea- therweight, does not seem to have the least fear that Abe Attell will beat him when they meet on Wednesday in this city to battle for the championship. The English boy has shown his game- ness on more than one occasion. He figures on wearing down Attell and beating him with a whirlwind finish. Those who saw him beat Frankie Neil, with the defeated San Francisco boxer at their head, have been’ playing the Moran end since Saturday, feeling con- fident he will beat Attell. This has not been sufficient to offset the weight of money Attell and his friends umped into the . poolrooms and the odds dropped from 10 to 8 to 10 to 7. Easy to Make Weight. Attell. is well within the limit, so that it will be éasy for him to make weight, 120 pounds, three hours before the fight. Moran has had harder work than At- tell to make the weight. Sunday he was severai pounds overweight, but states he will have no trouble in getting to weight. Three days ago he was down to 121 pounds and feeling that he could easily get down to weight by Wednesday morning, cut down some of his hard work. 9 Referee Jim Jeffries came to town yesterday and visited the fighters at their camps. Moran requested Jeffries not to step in between the fighters when he orders them to break. The little Englishman wants the advantage he will have from hitting in the break- away. Attell is apparently willing to leave the entire matter of enforcing the rules to Jeff. He sticks to his statement of last week that he can beat Moran at any “style of fighting and will stop him in 10 rounds. Have Faith in Attell. Fight dopesters figure Attell as the natural winner because he has beaten every featherweight of prominence witb ease, and has also defeated a goodly number of 130-pounders. Moran only re- cently graduated from the bantam- weight class to the feather. It is fig- ured that if he is as good a feather as he was a bantam, Attell will have his hands full to beat him in 20 rounds. OLSEN THROWS CHAMPION PARR St. Louis Wrestler Defeats English Title Holder in Chicago. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—Jim Parr, the English champion, was defeated last night by Charles Olsen, the St. Louis wrestier, in a catch-as-catch-can bout at the Waverly Rink. Olsen took the second and third falls after he had been pinned to the mat in the first in 13m. flat.

The Olympians were lead- ing with 22 games won and 13 lost, while the Spartans and Hercuies were tied for second with 20 games won and 15 lost. As a result of their defeat the Olym- pians drop down to third position in the standing, the Spartans winning the odd game in their match with the Trojans. With the exception of the Meteors, none of the teams were rolling in any- thing like the form they have been dis- playing. The Meteors averaged 53 6-25. The Trojans were the only other team to go over the 50 marx. The Meteors were tn good form and won every game easily from the Olym- pians. Schall was high man, with an average of 57 1-5. The Olympians had considerable hard luck, as the team bumped into 68 cock pins. Sixty-nine misses are charged against the five. Schmitt and Bernard also did good work for the Meteors. In the Palace Tenpin League, the Un- ion Sodas did the unexpected by taking the measure of the Fern Glens in three games. The Sodas rotied a_ strong match. The team averaged 920, easily the best tenpin mark of the evening. Baune was the star, with a 211 1-3 average, Jerry Ameling averaged 167 2-3. The latter is not getting the pins these days as formerly, although ‘“‘gecretary’’ is always trying. Grebe did the most effective work for the Fern Glens, av- eraging 19% 2-3. ST, LOUIS HOMES Charlie Peterson Acquires Social Reputation as a Demonstra- tor Thereby. Private billiard rooms for residences and billiard parties are the vogue this winter, Charles Peterson, manager of two local billiard halls and one of the best all-around billiard players in the country; states that at least 150 homes in St. Louis have private billiard rooms. According to Peterson, the fair sex is taking great interest in billiards. Wom⸗ en should make better billiard players than men, especially at the balkline game, as they naturally have a finer sense of touch and a delicate, but firm, stroke, the whole secret of balkline bil- liards.

Sheble won the recent balk-line_bil- liard tournament at the Hauser and his friends were so anxious to see him play that an invitation billiard party will be iven after the holidays, in which Sheble will play Will Harrington.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 31.~Coach Cochems of the St. Louis football team is determined to prove to the people. of the far Northwest that the defeat of his team in the game at Spokane was a mistake. He is sure his Missouri Val- ley champions will trounce the Multno- mah Athletic Club efeven here Neéw Year’s afternoon, and by so doing con- vince the Western public of their worth. Because of their defeat at Spokane, the local club is a hot favorite and every one wants to get down a bet that Portland will win. Some have even offered 2 to 1 on the coast heavy- weights. But such things do not in the least bother Cochems, who has been driving his men through terrific prac- tice for the past two days, and shaped them up so they should be able to show to the Portland people something of speed and cleverness in the new style of football. Much depends on the weather condi- tions, and the St. Louis boys are hop- ing and praying for clear skies and a dry field. Indications are that an enor- mous crowd will attend. Cochems will give his men only about an hour of speed work this afternoon. t6 put on the final touches for the game.

Lyell, who now resides at 4318 Vir- ginia avenue, and who is in a chem- ical business in this city, was also a reat football player in his day, be- ng a star on the Colorado team some years back. He is a man well over so pounds in weight and his broth- ers are also big, powerful men. Ralph was the star of the game Christmas day and it was through his terrific playing that Washington de- feated the great St. Louis team. The detailed story of the. game shows where he made great gains through the St. Louis line. Paul Rader is a minister in Port- land, and still keeps up his athletic work as a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club.

- TUESDAY—ST. LOUK POST-DISPATCH—DECEMBER 31. 1907 “HUSBAND PROBLEM | Letters to Post-Disatch Reveal Varying Opinions. of Marriage.

FRENCHMAN _ ADVISER —— Young Clerk Declares Ameri- cans Pay Too Much Atten- tion to Flirting.

Gage advice, cynicism, optimism, de- spair, hope, faith, satire, all reveal’ themselves in the letters which have come to the Post-Dispatch in regard to the $20-a-week-husband problem While the opinions expressed are as numerous as the writers, one fact is pat- ent, namely: There is a host of young men and women in St. Louis who sit up nights pendering the problem of how to marry wisely and happily. The chill night of hopelessness has closed in on some. Others are content to wait till the whirligig of fate shall bring to them a husband or a wife. Letter From a Frenchman. Among the letters received is one from a young Frenchman, representa- tive of a nation whom the comic opera writers have depicted as the archtype éf ficklenessi He has been in the United States two years.

Yes, but for what a length of time? “When that unfortunate wife will speak of philosophy and her husband will answer bowling; when he will ask for mince ple and she will say: How do you make that?
