Grand Jury Expects His Story| to Surpass Confessions -- Wrung by Folk.

MEANS — CONVICTIONS

Delegate Expected to Supply Missing Link in Warner- Priesmeyer: Case. see The grand jury hes at last discovered a blow-hole tn the armor of the com- bine in the House of Delegates, and con- fidently expects to get, through this opening, complete revelations of the leg- isiative scandals in which the members of the inner circle have been involved. This information canie Tuesday, when one of the combine, fearing the fate of a ‘“‘scapegoat,’’ showed signs of weak- nesg*y and a readiness to tell what he knew. The disclosures which are awaited fsom this terror-stricken Detegate will cover not only the entire history of the passage of the Ascher garage bill, re- fulting in the indictment of Delegates l’erd Warner and Fred W. Priesmeyer, but, in addition, all the criminal barter- ing which has been done since the com- bine’s organization eight months. ago. Is Driven by Hints. Constant hints that members of the combine not yet in ihe toils were ready and eager to shoulder their own crimes on him and force him to silence, has at last driven this Delegate to a pass itn consequences of taking’ chances with the courts are not so much ‘to be dreaded as is the risk of standing with his former associates in the com- bine. Confronted by the certainty of an th- cisive investigation, backed by all the Mayor's machinery, the whole pewer of the Circuit Attorney's office and the in-

ors themselves, the strain on the timid became too great to bear. He saw noth ing in that quarter but the certainty of new entanglements, while on the side et the State there was at least a hope of leniency. During the grand jury’s recess there waa no cessation in the search for new @vidence against the combine. This evi- @ence touches certain “deals” which the grafters had begun to contratulate themselves were forgotten. In this cate wory is the cleaning of the House of Delegates and City Council! chambers. Enlightened and guided by the avow- als which the frightened Delegate is to meke, the grand jury will have com- Pamtively easy sailing in various dire- tions, which, because of the recent so)- idarity amcng the combine’s members. the investigation could not take. Other Offers Expected. The surrender of this one Delegate is expected at’ the Four Courts and City Hall to be a signal for offers from other delegates who would like to turn State's evidence before it is too late. Altogether irrespective of the help or obstacles which the combine may con- tribute now, it is a foregone conclusion the Indictments will come thick ana fast. The Delegate who has resolved to make a choice between fealty to his confederates, with certain conviction as his only reward and assistance to the | Brand jury and a smal! hope at least of light punishment, will supply all the information required for the indictment and conviction of his fellows. Krows Whole Boodle Story. This Delegate has been an Tabtive principal promoter and beneficiary of al! the deals which the’ combine has made. He can tell practically § the whole story of boodling in the present Tiouse. His knowledge extends from the relatively unimportant detail of what became of the money that Delegate Priesmeyer is charged with taking from Ascher to the employment of a solicitor of bribes. He knows who got the money and in what amounts: the place and time of every meeting of the ‘“‘in- her circle,” the father and backer of every corrupt measure; he knows the “influences” both: in and without the House of Delegates. The result of the tale of bribery ex- pected from this man’s lips will equal in ‘public service, it is believed, the as- sistance rendered to Gov. Folk by a former delegate when the Governor as Circuit Attorney punished the boodle gang six years ago. Mr. Allem on the Jury. 1: was announced it the Four Courts ‘ues that because of Col.

Tiffany, a stock broker, who said he had a fixed opinion, wut insisted he could render a fair verdict. It took 30 seconds for Mr. Jerome to dispose of Charles McCul- lough, a public accountant, who de- clared that evidence might ‘‘remove” but could not “change” his opinion. Me- Cullough’s was the last name in the first panel. The second panel, which reported to- day, then was drawn on. During the examination of Charies C. joss, an auditor and accountant, Dis- trict Attorney Jerome asked for the first time during this trial: “Have you any ideas of your own as to higher law or irresistable impulse, or anything of that sort?’ Goss replied in the negative and was accepted as a provisioral juror as the luncheon recess war ordered. e With nine jurors in the box, all sub- ject to peremptory challenge, and with a new panel of 10 talesmen to draw from, the trial was resumed at l0:2 i 2. The prisoner walked into the court- exchanges a few words with Attorney Peabody before taking his seat. Pea- body had been early at the Tombs and held an hour's conference with hia cii- ent, the nature of which was not re- vealed. It is believed to have been a discussion of over-night revelations in connection with the talesmen now in the box. Thaw was not called to the bar until the roll of the new panel was called, and the absentees noted and fined $20. This required nearly ® minutes. Righty mem- bers of the new pane! were present. Mra. Evelyn Thaw was not In the courtroom when the proceedings began, Josiah Thaw being the only relative in the line of chairs reserved for the defendant's family. Thaw Pale aed Uskempt.

LOUIS COUNTY ~It-Will Be Capitalized at $150,000 » a) and Is to Fight Alleged= Combine. To fight the alleged MNghting combine in St. Louis County, a petition for a franchise for an independent eompany has been filed in the Circuit Court at Clayten, te be known ‘as the Clayton FBilectric Co. R. H. Stevens, a Clayton attorney, says that a decree of incor- roration will be applied for within ten days and that the new company will be capitalized at $150,000. Though there are several lighting companies operating in the county, it is alleged that they are not really com- petitive companies, but are all under the presidency of A. C. Einstein, and are all controlled by the North Ameri- can Co., which also controls the light- ing franchises in the city of St. Louis. In an application filed Monday in the %. Louis County Circuit Court, Ein- stein asked for a division of the county territory between the King Electric Co. and the Suburban Electric Light and Poaver Co., of both of which he is pres- ident. Nothing is said in the petition regarding the rate to be charged by the two companies, neither of which has a maximum rate clause in its franchise. The rates of the King company have been raised nearly 5) per cent tn the past four years. A 2% per cent advance went into effect last July. D, W.

RHEUMATISM

that | FRIENDS EXPECT FOLK TO EXPOSE NES RECORD a ae” Governor Has Scrapbook Dealing With Senatodr’s Legislative Work.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. ‘to Jefferson City where he was leaders of the 7.—Gov. Folk today from in conference State for returned st. Louis, with politica! two days. Although the Governor maintains his noncommittal attitude in reference to an announcement of his ‘candidacy for the senatorship to succeed Senator Stone, it is genefally believed among politicians here that the announcement will come within a few days. Advised of Stone’s Work. The Governor is quoted by a friend as having said he saw little occasion to make an “‘official’’ announcement, and that it had been known by his friends for many~months that he would be a candidate against Stone. He was adviced, however, that the Stone faction was keeping fairly busy over the State, passing the word that the Governor had made no announce- ment and that there was considerable doubt that he would become a candi- date. By this means. he was told, the Stone element was attempting to line up some Democrats who were rather luke- warm in their support of Stone. This is believed to have caused the Governor to hesitate very little longer. It is known that he is making prepara- tions to begin an active campaign of the State early in the spring. His cam- paign, it is said, will be similar to that he made for Governor. He will make a whirlwind trip over the State, making as Many speeches as possible up to the very day of the election. Urged Not to Attack. Many of the Governor’s friends are known to have urged him not to make vigorous attack on Mr. Stone’s record, but, instead, to stand more on his own record. Others have advised that he fight Ytone with the latter’s record as att@rney before the Legislature in the alfm scandal and with his record as a Senator, which, they say, fails to show any marked activity or any rea- son why Stone should be returned to the Senate. It is understood that the Governor favors the latter character of the fight and that when he once gets into the campaign Stone’s record will be merci- lessly exposed. “The Governor has a carefully compiled scrapbook, contain- ing practically every detail desired on Stone’s connection with the alum scan- vom and with his entire record in public ie,

~ PAVING REPAIR IN 1906 COT CITY Sod4,dds Asphalt Reduction Means Add- ed Expense of $8.50 a 100 Square Feet.

CONTRACTORS = AIDED = —" Under Old Specifications They Would Have to Bear Such an Outlay.

The latest available reports of the Street Commissioner show that it cost the City of St. Louis $534,399.27 in 1906 to maintain and repair the streets. This was in the year that the maintenance guarantee was reduced from 10 and seven years to five years by the Board of Public Improvements. During the period covered by this report there were constructed 9.17 miles of asphalt streets and 2.40 miles of granite block streets, which are to be maintained for 10 years by the contractors; 15.64 miles of brick streets and 4.93 miles of bitulithic streets to be maintained seven years by the contractors. All asphalt, brick and bitulithic | streets constructed since April, 1906, are city $26,173.14 to maintain and to be maintained but five years by the contractors. The Street Commissioner and the contractors themse'ves say it costs the city just as much for a street under the five-year guarantee as it did under the seven and ten years’ guaran- tee. Heavy Cost for Asphalt. The 1906 report does not show what it costs the city to maintain § asphalt streets, but the report for 1905 states that the city then maintained 17,696.84 squares of asphalt streets at a cost of $29,796.86, of about $1.70a square. By cut- ting down the guarantee from ten to five years on asphalt paving the city aseumes an expense of $8.50 on every 100 square feet of asphalt paving laid under the new specifications, which, under the old specifications, was borne by the con- tractor. The same report shows that it cost the repair 67,822.26 squares of brick streets, or a lit- tle more than 59 cents a square. By the reduction of the guarantee on brick sireets from seven to five years, the Board of Public Improvements has as- sumed an expense of $1 a square on al! * avemerts constructed under the new specifications, which was borne by the contractor under the old specifications. The ajlditional cost to the city on the brick streets constructed since the speci- fications were changed, figured on the basis of the maintenance cost in 1905, would be $70,357.70, and $110,623.60 on the asphalt streets. Bitulithic Cost Heavy. There is no means of finding out what it will cost the city to maintain the bitulithic streets, as they are now all kept in repair by the contractor under the maintenance guarantee. They will cost cerainly as much, and probably more than the asphalt streets. There have been constructed 19,509.39 squares of bitulithic pavement since the specifications were changed. Estimating that it would cost $3.50 a square to main- tain this pavement for two years, it wil! be +en that the city has assumed an expense of $67,282.55 on the bitulithie streets that would have fallen upon the contractor if the specifications had not been changed. By the reduction of the maintenance guarantees on the brick, bitulithic and asphalt streets, the city has contracted an obligation of $248,263.31, which other- wise Would have been borne by the con- tractors. By the admission of the Street De- partment and the contractors them- selves, the city has not derived 1 cent of benefit in corresponding reductions im the first cost of streets by virtue of this change in the specifications. As new streets are being constructed alj the time ‘under the five-years’ main- tenance guarantees, the expense of keep- ing them in repair will necessarily in- crease. If the ratio of increase in new streets continues as it has during the last two years. the taxpayers wi!! have to put up an addiional $125,000 each year to maintain the streets, in addition to dhe already large appropria- tions made .or that purpose. Paving Company Explains. The Granite Bituminous Paving Co.. which controls the bitulithie paving busi. ness in St. Louis, today made the fol- lowing statement to je Post-Dispatch: “The Granite Bituminous Paving Co. which has laid the bitulfthic pavements in St. Louis, complains of the statements that have been published in regard to it and fts business by the Post-Dispatch, claiming that in many important re- spects the statements are untrue and - that the inference and insinuations that “~ could not. drawn if a trifle statement of the facts have been drawn from those statements and would not, have been were known. Jekeuaet the LL meres hE “All will agree that if there has been any graft or violation of the criminal law by anyone, the guilty parties, who- sver they may be, should be punished; but, inasmuch as there has been no wit- ness named, or facts stated, that In any way implicates this company, or its of- ficials, in any improper or illegal con- duct, we will not stop to discuss this feature. Suffice it to say that we court at all times the fullest investigation by the grand jury, the Circuft Attorney, or any other authorized tribunal, of any acts or conduct that this cquwesr has had with the public. No Defense for Roards. “The firet charge, that during the past . five years the Board of Pubite Improve- ments has recommended to the Munict- oft jit segue, ¢

Wife, Who Weakens When She Sees Husband Pris- oner, Now Happy.

Glimpsing at one another through the pale of law, Mrs. Annie Moore and her young husband, Kenrick Moore, whose threat of suicide was the cause of his arrest and appearance before Judge Pol- ard in Dayton Street Police Court onday morning, were brought to rea- ize that the deep affection they had reviously known was a glad reality. he reunion was “just like being mar- ried again,’’ Mrs. Moore declared after she had kissed her husband in courtroom. , “When I saw my husband there a prisoner and yet he would not say one word against me, Mrs. Moore told a Post-Dispatch reporter, “I forgave him everything, and when he told the Judge that I did not love him any more, I could not stand it. I went right over to him and told him I did love him, right there in the courtroom, and I kissed him, too. “Mother Must Divide Love.” “My husband t'..nks I spoil little Har- old, our 8-months-old baby, and I guess he thinks, too, I have divided my love waich used to be all his with the baby. Well, a mother cannot give up or neg- lect her child, even for the love of her husband. the. “KISS IN COURT IS LIKE REMARRIAGE’

-_ “T think women are often too good to their husbands and the husbands be- come seifish. I have always made it a point to have everything comfortable for my husband and to give him every comfort after his hard .ay’s work. I like to have just what he wants to eat and he never has to turn his hand about the house. “The policeman who came to our house when my husband had the re- volver on the table and was writing his suicide note, talked to us so kindly and said a husband ought to help his wife about the house. ‘I scrub the kitchen floor for my wite,’ he told us. Tells Girls to Wait. “T was a working girl and earned my own living before I married and no one ever ‘bossed’ me,’’ Mrs. Moore said with her dark eyes expressive of inde- pendence, “‘and I would advise giris to stay single anyway until they are old- er than I was. There are many happy marriages, I. know, but sometimes things do not go so well. ‘“‘My husband and I were just as hap- py as we could be until little Harold was born. I think children ought to cause parents to love one another bet- ter. I would be so happy if Ken could only care for our baby. We ‘have start- ed over now, just like being — over again, and I believe that the old happy days surely wil! return.”

nee

ranted favoritism. In reply to this statement, we say that it is not for us to defend the various Boards of Public Improvements during the past five vears. We take it that they need no defense to the people in this community. “Tn 1903 the city of St. Louis was mak- ing great preparations for the World's Fair, and there was a great demand for a large amount of paving. Brick and asphalt were the only pavements avail- able and the prices on these were high. A large number of property owners on West Pine boulevard petitioned for the bituminous macadam, or bitulithic, pave- ment, which was becoming popular in many cities. Several hearings were held, and the members of the Board of Public Improvements carefully in- vestigated the merits of the pavement and granted this petition. “The bituminous macadam, or bitu lithic, pavement was invented by Fred- erick J. Warren of Boston in 1901, and is, and was, an improvement on a sim- ilar form of pavement that has been laid for nearly forty years and ante- dates both brick and asphalt pave- ments, and some of these old pavements are still giving good service after more than thirty years of daily use. Their defects consisted in not having a method of making the mixture uniform, or the coal tar cement, from which they were made, of a uniform quality and consis tency. The invention of Mr. Warren remedied these defects. “The pavement was heartily approved by the leading engineers and engineer- ing magazines of the country. The pavement took the first and only premi- um for pavementa at the World's Fair, in competition with brick, asphalt and other pavements. The pavement has been laid in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and in more than 14 cities, and is being laid in increasing areas every year with the approval of the engineering profession and the pub- lic, and in no place at a less price than it is being laid in St. Louis. Is It an Experimenttf “Under these circumstances, we ask, is it a fair statement that the pavement was a new and untried experiment, tnat it is worthless; or is it a iair inference to assume that there was favoritism by the Board in recommending it “Second, it is charged that the speci- fications for these pavements, adopted by the beard, provides that ‘War- ren’s’ c“epte shall be used in the con- strustien ef the pavements and that other cements, equally as good, can be purchased by anyone on the open mar- ket, and that, therefore, by this arhi- trary action of the board, the property owners were deprived of the benefits of competition; that by reasen «1 these va- rious statements the compam in the last five years has paved streets *‘o the amount of $2,000,000, and that seme son- tractor, name not given, has said that, mee not been

. were been laid for one-third less, and that, therefore, $800,000 had been extracted il- legally and illegitimately from the tax- payers of St. Louis. “In 1903, when the Board of Public Improvements sent the ordinance and specifications for West Pine to the Mu- nicipal Assembly for passage on the petition of the property owners, they adopted specifications which were prac- tically the same as those adopted by all other cities of the céuntry that had been laying and were laying that pave- ment. The asphalt trust had had a complete monapoly of all the smooth pavements in St. Louis and had been geting more than $2.50 per square yard from the people. “This trust brought a suit of injunc- tion, through W. H. Swift, against the city of St. Louis, before Judge Woods, to have the specifications and ordi- nance for the paving of West Pine d-e- clared vold, charging among. other things, practically all the things that the Post-Dispatch has recently been charg- ing, and, especially, the charge that by specifying ‘‘Warren’s’’ compositions, the land owners were deprived of competi- tion, and that the same materials could be purchased by anyone on the open market, ; ‘Asphalt Trust’s Case. “A week was consumed in the trial of that case. The newspapers at the time full of it. The Asphalt Trust brought witnesses from all over the United States to prove the allegations. Practically all the charges now _ fre- vamped were there thrashed out before an impartial court, where witnesses faced each other and each side was rep- resented by counsel. Members of the Board of Public Improvements . were examined. Judge Woods rendered 4 written opinion, which is easily ob- tained, in which every contention there made by the Asphalt Trust against the city and its officials and against the specifications were found untenable or wntrue, and the injunction was dissolved. The Asphalt Trust appealed that case to the Supreme Court, and that court, after a careful hearing and full exam- ination, sustained the decision of Judge Woods at every point. “Since that time similar cases have been brought by the Asphalt Trust in other states, making the same or sim- llar charges. Judge Byington of Iowa, Judge McMasters of Indiana and other judges in other states have passed upon the same allegations. Their decisions were along the same line as that of Judge Woods, holding that the specifica- tions were proper and valid, and ones that the board had a right to make, and that there Were no cements of the same qualities and character that could be purchased on the open market. “During the past five years this com- pany has received from the city of 8t. Louls for public work $1,750,000 in spe-

celal tax bills. ieee matinee was for the pavement, including foun- dations. When it is considered that the ta bills are only worth 9% cents on the dollar it will be seen that the company has received altogether for all the pave- ments that it has ever laid under con- tract with the city of St. Louis, $1,273.,- 477. This included the concrete founda- tion as well as the pavement proper. }The concrete foundation is the same for this pavement as for brick and asphalt, and at the ordinary prices bid in cases of brick and asphalt, as well as bitu- lithic, would amount in the neighbor- hood of $400,000. This would leave a total of $873,477 which the company has re- ceived for supplying all the materials, labor and, equipment and doing all the bitulithic work it has done under con- tract with thd city of 8t. Louis in the past five vears. Statement “Absurd.” “Another charge is that there $800,000 improper profits on this work caused by the favoritism of the board, or of the character of the specifications, or a sum nearly as great as all of the money that the company received for the work. This is so palpably absurd that no comment is necessary. Not 4 single witness was produced at any of the trials, nor can one reputable con- tractor be found who would make 2 statement that the pavement could be laid at one-third less, and we say, with- out fear of successful contradiction, that the pavement Cannot be laid, under pres- ent conditions, at present prices, at a fair profit. “The prices on was asphalt in St. Louis, after the introduction of the bitulithic pavement, were forced down more thap 50 cents a yard and have remained that way ever since. If the bitulithic pave- ment is driven out of St. Louis, the citi- zens can readily Vhat would happen again. “The third charge is made that the substitution by the Board of Public Im- provements of limestone in the place of granite in the specifications, ans the reduction of the, maintenance guarantee from seven to five years wiihout reduc- tion of price, is evidence of something wrong. They say that the price of granite per ton was $3 and that of limc- stone was 90 cents. “The specifications do not provide spe- cifically for limestone, but provide for hard stone of a certain test recommend- ed by the United States Government, and certain kinds of high-grade lime- stone will fill this test, but the ordi- nary Iimestons in St. Louis will not. “The cost of crushed granite called for by the specifications, instead of be- ing $3 per ton, is $2 per ton, and of the limestone suited for the purpose, instead of 90 cents per ton, is $1.45 per ton. This is a comparatively small difference, but when it is considered that the use of limestone requires an increased amount of cement, the small difference in the cost of the stone is fully made up in the extra amount of cement used. En- gineers and experts in various: cities recommend the change from granite to limestone, or dolamite, as being of finer grain and less friable than the Missour! granite, and the change was in the line of bettering the pavement without a material change in the cost thereof. Reduction of Guarantee. “The reduction of the guarantee from seven years to five years was a matter with which this company had‘ nothing to do and the reduction applied to brick, asphalt and other pavements. Suffice it to say that the reduction is in the line of progress. European cities have abo)® ished their long-time gua’antees and r> duced them to very short time. usuall: a year and one-half. Nearly every en- gineering society in the United States has recommended the reduction of the maintenance guarantee contracts and most cities of the country have reduced them accordingly; and, in a large ma- jority of the cities, the maintenance? guarantee is five years or less. and surmise [many lawyers are of the opinion that the validity of a longer guarantee is seriously in doubt. There is no ques tion but what long-time guarantees in- crease the cost of the improvement to the abutting property owner when the law requires that cost of matntenance and repairs be paid out of a general fund. There is no pavement known that. under the rough usage of heavy traffic, will not need repairs. ‘‘Another charge is made that by rea- son of the reduction of the period of guarantec and the change from granite to limestone, there has been no reduc- tion in the price of the pavement. “Since the time that these changes were made, prices of most materials and labor have increased from 2 to 100 per cent, without a corresponding in- crease by the Poard of Public Improve- ments in the estimate for the cost of the pavements, so that a reduction by the contractor in his bid in this regard would not show under such conditions, when the estimate was so low that the contractor could not get. a reasonable price on the work under any conditions, case at present. The Cost, “Fourth, lit is charged that the pave- ment costs vastly more than any other pavement and that in a short span of months proved wholly worthless, so that miles of it had to be entirely resur- faced, which is simply and unqualifiedly untrue. ‘The cost of the pavement has been a few cents a yard in excess of brick and asphalt, in spite of the fact that the materials used in its construc- tion cost more; stone being used in place of sand and the equipment required be- ing heavier, while the price’of granite, creosoted hock and other forms of pave- ment has been, and is, much in excess of the cost of bitulithic. ‘“‘As to the charge that it is ‘wholly worthiess,’ to those who will examine the 2% \miles of these pavemerts that are in very excellent condition today in the city of St. Louis, and inquire about the more than five hundred miles in va- rious cities all over the country that is in excellent cordition, no other an- swer igs necessary. ‘“‘We submit that no inference can be drawn from the fact that one company has got the work, when it is remembered that it is the only company that has on hand the necessary equipment, which is costiy, to do the work with, and when it is further remembered that the prices have been so low that no incentive ex- isted for oather contractors to go into the business and spend the necessary money to erect suitable plants; but we submit that this is in the interest of the taxpayers and the public, instead of being against its interest. § “Now, looking at the pfonosiiion broadly, over 140 cities in this country are laying the pbitulithic pavement, un- der practically the same specifications, in increasing areas vear after year. The pavement is meeting the approval of the engineer, or this would not nappen. This means that over 140 engineers and over 140 sets of city officials, and that the people of more than 140 cities, have ap- proved, and are approving, the pave- ment. as is the “Not a Pi Sep GE AD.

His face is large and pink, and his mouth is a Cupid's bow. In repose he is positively in- fantile. It is a shock when the infantile mouth opens and there issues forth erup- tions of the Jeffdavis brand of profan- ity which all Arkansas knows so ywgll. A Jeff Davis interview is not an inter- view at all. It is a monologue. The way to obtain it is te ask a question on some subject that happens to be objec- tlonaLle to the Senator; then stand by and see the fur fly. Refore ihe interview began in the Sen- ator’s room in the Jefferson Hotel he shed his coat, touched off a big black cigar, and, turning to the interviewer, bent his brows and said in a voice that cause? tiie ice in the water pitcher to jingle: “WELL?” “liow does the social life of Washing- ton compare with that of Little Rock?

By Leased Wire From the, New York Buresu of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—The effect of the financial situation on the sale of luxuries is shown in the confession of four of the largest diamond dealing firms on Fifth avenue in acknowledg- ing their inability to realize enough on their stock to meet their obliga- tions. With assets conservatively esti- mated to be worth $6,250,000, and li- abilities of $4,500,000, Joseph Frank- el’s Sons Co., a million dollar corpora- tion; Joseph Frankel’s Sons and Gat- tle, Ettinger & Hammel, and E.

On behalf of the Frankels, Moses Strook of their counsel said that the famous Hope diamond was in part re- sponsible for the present financial condition of his clients. “The Frankels imported the dia- mond which had such’ an eventful his- tory.” said he, “several years ago at a cost of about $250,000, and they have never been able to dispose of it.” The liquidating trustees of the four houses made today an encouraging} re- port relative to the future. Not enly do they think a balance of $1,750,090 will remain after the payment of the houses’ joint indebtedness, but they certain it will be possible to realize on the stocks with comparative- little delay. 41° oe WOULDN'T PLAY “PEEK-A-B00” HUSBAND GETS FINE OF $50 Mrs. May Bradt Says She Was Struck on Chin When She Refused.

WIFE SAID TO. BE MAS. EDDY'S NIECE 1S SLAIN Mob Threatens Man Who Killed Mrs. Haskett in Ne- vada Town. en eee RHYOLITE, Nev., Jan. 7.—Mrs. Isabel Heskett, who was murdered here by Fred Skinner, alias Fred Davis, was, it is said, a niece of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the Christian Science leader. The statement is made on the author- ity of her husband, C. C. Heskett, who has just arrived from Fallon, Nev., to take charge of the body. Mrs. Heskett is a daughter of Mrs. C. E. Peterman of Ballard, Wash., and was married to Heskett at Shadron, Neb., about two years ago. From there the couple moved to Arrow Head, Colo. Last July Mrs. Heskett eloped with Skinner. Was Shot Four ‘Times, Mrs. Heskett was shot four times in the back about 3 o'clock Friday morning by Skinner and instantly killed. Skin- ner then shot himself, inflicting a couple of flesh wounds in his left side. There is strong talk of lynching Skin- ner. A band of determined citizens was organized and ready to move on the jail when it was learned that the offi- cers, fearing something of the kind, had removed the prisoner. Relationship Is Questioned, James A. Logwood, chairman of the Publication Committee of the Christian Science Church in St. Louls, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday that he did not believe Mrs. Heskett could be Mrs. Eddy’s niece. “Mrs. Eddy has no near relatives,”’ he said, ‘“‘except those whose names ap- peared in recent litigation. She had no sisters and her brothers were named Baker. I know of no Mrs. Peterman among the connections of the family.’ eerste tat ttt a Pastor at 80 Accepts Call.

The deadly toy pistel caused the death of Henry Heeley, aged 12, the son of Ww. S. Heeley of 24 South Chestnut, Belle- ville, Monday night. Young Heeley, with three companions, received small pistols for Christmas presents, and the day after went along the railroad to test them. The other three were Oscar Grant, aged 11 years, and William Grade and Frank Tyas. Grants pistol shot a small B. B. blank cartridge. But the mere noise did not suit bim and he jammed some shot into the barrel. Turning to Grade, he said, “I'll shoot you.” But Grade protested, and, wheeling suddenly, he fired at Heeley, who stood behind him; it is said. One of the shot entered the boy's leg between the thigh and the knee, and the wound became so badly inflamed that he was sent to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for treatment, where he died ef biood- poisoning. Grant, Grade and Tyas were arrested the police after Heeley’s death and the manner of the by questioned as to shoeting. Se ae en EE 5 Ee MOUNT ROYAL LIMPS INTO QUEENSTOWN WITH ALL SAFE Long by

J. Allen Stevens has been expelled from: Washington University because of an editorial he wrote in the ‘varsity publication calling the faculty a “bunch of asses.’" Stevens’ fellow-students are so indignant that they have called = meeting for Tuesday afternoon to decidé whether they will “walk out.” 4 The relations between the student body and the faculty have been strained since the expulsion of Stratford Morten,.a popular student, because, as the faculty elleged, he threw a chemical compound on Edwin Nipher, another student and son of a university professor, during. a class fight. The students demanded Morten’s re instatement, but their demand was rex. jected. Now they are going to demané Stevens’ reinstatement with more vigs or, they say.

MINING MURDER IN.AMERICA. - It must shock the reader of the Marsteller re- part to learn that coal mining in the United States kills, relatively, nearly twice as many men as are killed in the mines of cruel Russia; that the United States kills nearly three times as many as Great Britain; nearly four times as many as Belgium and over four times as many as France. From the compilation of the Secretary of the Missouri State Bureau of Mines and Mining it appears that in 1906 in France the number of coal miners killed in eacn thousand averaged less than one, the percentage being .84; in Belguim .94; in Great Britain 1.29; in Russia 1.80; while in the United States the average was 3.40 to the thou- sand. In 1907 in this country the average leaped vastly higher, the close of the year witnessing a group of great fatalities, among the ghastliest in the history of the industry, while at this moment the wails of hundreds of widows and orphans at the smoking pit mouths echo throughout Chris- tjendom. * For these contrasts which stigmatize the bar- dDarities of American mining, the explanation is lain. Laws govern mining abroad. Laws are dgnored, evaded or defied in this country by a nonopoly wholly immune from attack. * With beaver-like haste, immunized and pro- tected greed has been gutting the ground, care- less of the cost in human lives. Contract labor thas been crowded into rickety and ramshackle excavations inviting disaster not only by their opel but by the accumulation of dirt and | ust that are the condition and occasion of ex- *plosions.

= The wails of the derelict and destitute at the Spit mouths are a cry for law—most of which is on ‘the books and sufficient if enforced as such law ‘should be in a civilized land. Let the states but enforce them as they are enforced even in Rus- sia, and the dark scroll of murder will be short- ‘ened, the shame of the nation spared. * Laws are profuse and voluminous in the stat- ‘utes to regulate construction and operation and ‘ecpecially for the safety and inspection of mines. Fut in the important centers they are dead let- ters to the monopolists who, asserting divine wright, ignore the laws of God and man alike. - Tt is for the states independently to say how Jong an unrestrained greed thriving on murder shall make America in this respect the scorn of rations. 3 ~~ = i BULLYING BROWNSON. - Once more, in the case of Rear Admiral Brown- bon, the big stick is pushed savagely under the nose of a gentleman who cannot respond in kind. The big stick aforesaid is never so terrible as avhen it is belaboring a cripple. . Officers of the army and navy cannot defend themselves against their superiors and remain in @ service. The reason why they have never placed in exactly this position before is to te found in the fact that never until now was ere a commander-in-chief who was not cour- eous enough to appreciate the obligations that Tested upon him. : It is good to have a big stick, but it is tyran- ous and anything but the act of a brave man to Muse it in beating up an officer whose hands and tongue are tied.

eee MINNESOTA’S GREAT DEMOCRAT. A feature of Gov. Johnson's statement of prin- ciples which should appeal strongly to the sober sense of the American people is his showing that the injustice in our laws and business practices can be corrected without violating the true rights of property. Demagogues and other agitators in their hunger for applause and their haste to gain power have defeated their own ends as well as provoked dis- content and menace by urging policies as danger- out to the honest man of smal] mcans as they ere to the dishonest man of gr2n* possessions. Unless the principle involved in assaults upon rested wrongs be clearly expressed even vested rights are also at stake, and when rights are at- tacked the poor suffer in company with the rich. Justice harms no worthy man. Injustice wrongs 411, the innocent and the guilty alike. If we had not ignored and violated the demo- cratic principles on which the Republic was founded we would not now be confronted by so many abuses of power and of wealth. We delib- erately turned our backs upon our boasted equal- ity when we conferred privilege upon favored classes. The history of our tariffs, our subsidies, our land grants, out tax laws and our slovenly deal- ings with corporations has been a shameful record ot betrayal and surrender of popular rights. No- body enslaved us. We forged our own fetters by complacency, our folly and our greed. nfronting this situation, the radical urges revolutionary and destructive remedies certain to atflict every element of the population and so dis- tasteful to most Americans that they prefer known wrongs to the perils which, though fore- shadowed, are hidden. Frenzied finance, monopo- ly, discrimination and oppression have gained more than one new lease of life by these means. Gov. Johnson of Minnesota perceives the evils that have attached themselves to our system, but he does not lose sight of' the value of the system itself, nor of the sacrifices that were made to give it a commanding position in the world. He knows that property rights are intimately associ- ated not only with personal rights, but with human liberty. Men who are deprived of earnings or of property unjustly or capriciously are not in all respects free. Great as may be the resentment with which our piunderers, licensed and unlicensed, are regarded, and strong as the temptation to violence may be a‘ times, it is practically certain that we shall not be able to effect genuine reforms except as we go about them calmly, lawfully, deliberately, with f 4%

WHAT TO DO WITH IT. Cabanne people denied the pursuit of happiness by the abandonment of the through Wellston cars, have made an important discovery: They have learned that the company was violating an ordinance when it took the service off without having gained the consent of the Municipal Assembly, and that any citizen affected by the fine inflicted not in excess of $00. A number of injured gentlemen have done this, and the company is now fined two or three times a week. Yesterday, for instance, Messrs. Anson B. Hartwell and William FE. Van Pelt appeared be- fore Judge Tracy and secured fines against the company aggregating $100. In other words, anyone in a vengeful mood because of the abandonment of tne Wellston cars, can go into court and achieve vengeance in the sum of $60. But vengeance of itself is always in- adequate. It eases one’s pain for a time, but the cawise remains undimin- ished. We have a suggestion to make: It is agreed that Cabanne people do not want to ride on the Suburban cars, though they are quite as convenient to most of them as the old Wellston cars’ were. Their reason is highly creditable: They do not like the scenery on the Suburban. The tin can and the goat, the alley and the ash heap, and the mess and mid- den, do not comport with the landscapes usual to the Cabanne eye. But the scenery along the Suburban cceuld be rendered presentable with the fines which the company is suffering as a result of the withdrawal of the Wellston cars. The $100 achieved by Messrs. Hartwell and Van Pelt yester- of the Suburban right of way. Many peop'e live in the district affected by the change. If all of them can get revenge to the extent of $50, a vast sum would be available for making the Suburban line a3 agreeable as the Olive and Delmar. We do not know how this could be done. We simply suggest it, leaving the wavs and means to Mr. Tom Anderson and other lawyers who are in the essen- tial humor and neighborhood. is but us reward enough, everything, most of Righteousness in this, as in want a bargain. change can go into court and have a] day would terrace and sod about 50 feet.

rc oachibeumainenaisingmanenstanaipieameanitianannaae —=—a LAURA JEAN OUTPUT. From the Chicago Inter Ocean. The arrival of Laura Jean Libbey in Washington on Friday with the manu- scripts of 8) original plays, for which she is seeking all the protection that can be thrown around them by our copyright laws, marks what might be called the beginning of a new era in the movement to elevate the stage. All previous attempts in this direc- tion sink into’ insignificance by the side of the achievement of Laura Jean Lib- bey. Some of our dramatists have sent a single elevating drama, by mail, reg- istered, to the librarian of Congress, and have asked him to hurry the formalities, as the public was becoming impatient; some have sent» two, or perhaps three, manuscripts by ordinary post; some have expressed packages containing half a dozen, or may be a full dozen, but this is, we believe, the first time that any playwright has undertaken to deal with the copyright office in car- load lots. Indeed, have been able to produce as Laura Jean Libbey produces, even if they had tried. The average Indiana author writes one book, one play, and one poem, and then goes back to the farm or the store. We have not a single writer of celebrity today who can write against Laura Jean Libbey. 5 She is one of the fastest typewriters in America. It is practically no trou- ble for her to turn out a novel or a play. Two years ago she passed the record of Augusta J. Evans, then within three months she skipped ahead of Mary J. Holmes, and now, as regards the num- ber of her published works and the weight of paper and quantity of ink consumed by her publishers, leaving out of the account her 8 plays, she is far ahead of even Mrs. E.

FRIENDS ARE IN CHARGE Career of Fighter Was Bril- liant and Only Drink Cut Him Down Early, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—George Dixon, once the greatest fighter of his t and inches in the world, dled r- day afternoon in Bellevue tal of ‘heart disease.’’ The body of the ex- champion pugilist was rescued from the morgue by Mike Newman, manager of the Long Acre Athletic Club, accom- panied by Mike Harris and several oth- er sporting men. Tom O'Rourke, who managed Dixon when the latter was champion, and who always helped him, is in Europe, otherwise Dixon's body would never have gone to the morgue. Dixon arrived at the hospital at about ll o’clock Saturday night. He came tn a cab and was accompanied by two men. He was apparently suffering from alco- holism and was assigned to the alco- holic ward. There it was discove that he was also the victim of an acut attack of inflammatory rheumatism. Public Views Body. In the back room of the Long Aer Club the coffin rested, under the light which weekly shine on boxing botits held for the amusement of those who a few years ago cheered to the ech the every appearance of the figur whose dead face the lights illumined. Colored men by the score, men wh have for years been proud of Dixon be cause he was of their race, and not few colored women, gathered in the clu to look at all that remained of Georg Dixon. And many of them left thei little tribute of flowers for the fighte whose friends and.-followers had de serted him when his great defeat cam whose charity now will give him a grav outside the potter's field, Body Given to Brooklya. The body wiil remain in the Lon Acre Club until relatives said to b in Boston are heard from. The mort remaing of the plucky little fighter wi be buried in a Brooklyn cemetery. A of the boxing clubs in New York wi make collections from their patrons t defray the expenses of thé funeral. During his career as a fighter Dixo fought nearly IS ring battles, and fo 12 years he held the title of world’ featherweight champion. He made an spent more than $200,000, and for th poet two years was practically penni- ess. George Dixon was one of the generous fighters that ever wore a He could not say “‘no”’ to a frien his money went as easily as it came. Whisky and dissipation were responsi- ble for his downfall. New Champion Appears. Curiously enough, as Dixon lay dying in Bellevue Hospital on Sunday, Packy McFarland, a 18-year-old Westerner, ar- rived in this city from Chicago. Mce- Farland is styled by fight experts as a “comer,” and critics predict that he will seme day be champion in his class. He is in the same class that Dixon fought in, and is rugged and strong. He never smoked nor chewed tobacco. and he has never tasted whisky er any other intoxicat drink. A few days before his death Dixen said: ; “Terry McGevern whipped me some years ago, I forget how many, but I know that it wasn’t Terry’s punches that laid me low. It was old John Bar- leycorn, and if I had kept away from drink I believe that I weuld still be most

the champion fighter at my weight.” TS

It Was a soul-moving finish to a play that stirred souls to tneir depths—a play masterfully built up to that fine cul- mination hy Angel Guimera, Spain’s _ poet-dramattist, who can aliord two rest nis high claim for jus* renown upon this one surpassing work. Luring the ecurse of the piteous story in which) Marta had until then been the he.pless victim of iil-starred fortune, there tad been at feusi TWO moments When the hearts of the Garrick audience fairly ache nd with rit: for the play’s heroine. The first of these moments was when Marta, in a Lopeiess monotone. told tho Story of her mendieznt childhood with a blind mother, whose hand, even in sicep, and later in death, was.held out in the fixed gesture of a beggar of "lms, and of how, from that poor con- ion, she fell into the power of the cruel Sebastian, master of the lew- lands, who bought her body and her foul, and forced her, unknowing and innocent, to the sin that Stained all her life, The second of these moments came when Marta, grown to love the shep- herd whom she had been compelled to Wed in order that Sebastian might re- coup his imperiled fortunes by marry- ing an heiress of the Catalans, tells’ brokenly of the strange, great pride that came to her when She heard the priest of her little lowlands parish pro- nounce her Manelich’s wife and Mane- lich her husband. ““Mine,”” she says, na wonderful smile of the tenderest womanliness sudde “niy coming to her sad ips—‘‘My own, be- longing to me alone—ihe first thing | had ever had that I might love and call my own—and [I love Manelich—I fove Manelich!” Women Sob Under Kalich's Spell, ~Women in the audience. sobbed at the heartbreaking appeal of these moments, @nder the supreme emotionalism of Ka- lith’s voice and face, and more than a few men wiped unwilling tears from their eyes. There was no false note to mar the perfect naturalness of speech and feeling—just as there was no false note sounded when, in the ultimate death-grip between Maneligh and Se- bastian for possession of Marta. the woman's mask df stolidly hopeless re pression fell away trom her -soul and she cried aloud, tremendously and in @readful shrieks, wordlessly imploring high Heaven for the succor of the man Whose triumph meant rescue and re- Gemption and righteous love and her heart's desire of wifely purity for her. It was Nature's voice at all times—Na thre, speaking through the lips of a player supremely gifted to sound her ul- timate emotional utterances. And it was with this recognition of the compelling truth that last night's Gar- Fick audience acclaimed Kalich’s por- trayal of Marta, in many respects the greatest character interpretation pre. sented here within the recollection of _ this generation. It was great alike in fis reserve and in its flinging of reserve to the winds in certain crises when re- serve would have been monstrous {fn its grotesque unlikeness to life—the two ex. tFemes of justified artistic method being dfamatically emphasized by Marta’s first wordless entrance and mute pass- ake across the stage to her room in the mill and by her final absolute surrender te the paesion of love and fear that made her inarticulate and dreadful cries the inevitable and inexorable expression of her soul, Between-.this opening and this closing contrast, Kulich created a ebaracter that cannot die from the mem- ories of those who saw her work—as certain as is the rarity of her dramatic genius itself, all Europe, following our own American lead, will yet ring with the praises of this woman who inherits the mantle of Rachel and Bernhardt in the drama's highest walks. - Pime Support—With One Blemish.
