PRICE ONE CENT ENDING IMPURE MILK TO CITY Shippers Who Have Added Formaldehyde and Water Must Answer Here. PRODUCT IS ANALYZED BMlinois Dairymen Will Be Heard by Government Board Friday. FORMALDEHYDE POISON, WILL CAUSE DEATH Formaldehyde is poison, the themist’s definition, and, when taken in considerable quantity, will cause death. It has been used in such small quantities in milk that it is a debatable question among chemists and physicians whether it is injurious when used that way. The majority of authorities, how- ever, declare that milk to which formaldehyde has been added is in- jurious. The principal objection to it is that it conceals filth, or pre- serves unclean milk. Physicians say that when dairymen’s methods are cleanly there is no necessity for the use of formaldehyde. in Iilinois farmers and milk shippers this week will be given a preliminary hearing in St. Louis before the United States Board of Foéod and Drug In- spection in the Federal grand jury room for having added formaldehyde and water to the milk shipped into St. Louis. For several months Government milk inspectors have heen watching Ilinois milk producers and taking samples of the product shipped to this city. _Dr. Wiley, chief of the food division et. the. Agricultural Department, has er known that St. Louis was receiv- ing ure milk from outside shippers. ate last September anu early in Octo- ber Dr. W. D. Bigelow worked out of Bt. Louls on the railroad lines over which most of the milk was shipped into~ St. Louts, with a large staff of inspectors. The roads covered by the inspectors were the Baltimore & Ohio, the Clover Leaf, the Big Four and the Southern. These roads reached most of the milk towns which supply St. Louis. Samples of Milk Taken, The inspectors took samples of milk from the cans of the shippers as they arrived at stations in various towns from the farmers or creameries, an- other sample on the cars of the milk trains, and still another when the cans ‘arrived in St. Louis just before they were carried away for distribution by the receivers. These samples were immediately taken to the laboratory of the City Chemist, which was turned over to them by City Chemist Buckland for. properly facilitating their work. About 1500 samples were taken. and examined, and reports of the analysis were sent under seal to Dr. Wiley in Washington. It is known that many samples were found to contain formal- dehyde, and that a great many more showed water had been added. It was so late in the season when the samples were taken that the percentage of sai- ves were found eer for during : i when it is known that approxi- “te three-fourths of the milk con- sumed in St. Louls Is shipped into the elty, and three-fourths of the shipped milk comes from. Illinois. The rest comes from the farming district along the Frisco and Iron Mountain railroads in Missouri. The Board of Food and Drug Inspec- tion will begin its examination in St. Louis Friday in the grand jury room tn the Federal Building. It has no trial powers, but will give the milk shippers and mers a preliminary hearing, and they will be permittea to show cause why they should not be prosecuted un- der the pure food laws of the United _ Btates.

FEAR FOR KAISER’S LIFE Wilhelm Compelled to Post- pone Auto Trip Because of Uprisings. BERLIN, Jan. 13.—There are few signs to be noticed this morning of tne violent scenes of yesterday, when demonstrations for a general suffrage in Frussia resulted in a series of encoun- ters with the police, excepting a certain effervescence in the districts of the cit) where the working ciasses live. The city ambulance stations treated more than one hundred wounded. Of these 28 persons, including three police- men, were seriously injured. The po- lice in their encounters yesterday had a difficult task in overcoming the tac- tics of the infuriated women among the demonstrants. They clung to. the bridles of the policemen’s horses in efforts to stop the charges. Dispatches received here from_ the provinces deciare that the demonstra- tions yesterday in favor of suffrage re- form were enthusiastic. Resolutions in favor of manhood suffrage were tele- graphed to Prince von Buelow. In Es- sen 10,000 people paraded the streets singing the ‘‘Marseillaise’’ and ‘‘Sons of Freedom.” The police made ineffectual attempts to bar the progress of the agi- tators. In Cologne the police dispersed various processions by barring the streets and there were a few unimportant collisions. Frankfort, however, was the scene of a street fight between. the police and the manifestants, in which a number of persons were injured. Holds Socialists Responsible. At _tedays session” 0; Landtag, Minister of the Interior Von Moltke referring to the events of yes- terday, declared that the Socialists alone would be responsible for the conse- quences in case of further demonstra- ticns. He added that the Government had decided to repress by every means in its power any attempt to disturb peace and order. Just how serious was not develop until today, known that, fearing a hostile attack would made upon him, the po- lice virtually compelled Emperor Wil- liam to call off a motor-car trip he inad planned for the day. The police record, made public today, shows that 124 persons were hurt, many of them seriously, during. the rioting. Notice has been given that in event of further disorders, the police will shoot to kill. The bold hint made by Socialist ora- tors at yesterday's meetings that vio- lence would alnjost surely follow any po- lice attempt tg end their campaign has opened ‘all eyes to the real gravity of the situation. All night heavy police patrols guard- ed the streets to prevent disorders. To- day they are still on duty, although the danger ig not regarded as so threaten- ing, because most of yesterday’s dem- onstrators are at work. 30,000 in Manifestations. Chancellor Von Buelow’s recent curt declaration that secret voting at elec- tions would not be permitted was the cause of a large popular demonstration yesterday, directed by Socialists. It ended in rioting that necessitated po- lice charges on the crowd. At least 30,000 organized Socialists, supported by nearly a8 many sympathizers, partici- pated in the manifestations of disap- proval in the streets against Chancellor Von Buelow. One of the remarkable features of the day’s uprising was the number of wom- en who engaged in the demonstrations, and they appeared even more earnest in their activities than the men. Notwithstanding the Police Commis- sioner’s warning that repressive meas- ures would be applied, many thousand Socialists gathered in the morning at the 600 local headquarters of the various districts of the capital, and thence pro- ceeded, in groups, singing revolutionary songs, toward the eight halls in the city, where mass meetings had been announced. MULVIHILL CITES DEAD MAN Excise Commissioner Issues Order for Corpse to Answer Charges. Max Miller was not running a disor- derly saloon at #1 South Second street Jan. 6 when he was cited to appear be- fore Excise Commissioner Mulvihill. One reason for this was that Miller at that time had been dead two weeks. Mulvihill did not learn this until Mil- ler’s case was called on his docket Mon- day. No report of Miller's geath had been made to him, ag the law requires. He ordered the saloon closed because. under the statutes, a saloon keeper's li- cense expires when he dies. the rioting did when it became be the | the Prussiai”" “TFCELNA, AAM LLTON ee woe Correspondence W 1th Aged Alilhonaire Contained Only Na- tural Expressions of Affection for a “Relaiive, She Dé- claves — Minister's Daughter Defends Mother. — i er wa From a Pest-Dispatch Staff Corres- pondent.

She refuses to say whether or not it was built by the money given her by her millionaire grand-uncle. There was music and the laughter of guests in this home when Mrs. McNam- ara opened the docr to a representative of the Post-Dispatch. She was smiling genially. She has a pleasant, good- natured face. She looks to be beyond thirty. But she says she is 26. She has auburn hair and blue eyes. ‘‘Now don’t say I am red-headed and freckled,’’ she said. In answer to the reporter's first ques- tion, she asked another. Denies She Wrote Letters. “My letters? Who savs they are my letters? Have any letters been shown in court yet? “Well, I didn’t write them,” she con- tinued. ‘‘Most emphatically, I did not write them. Get that in your paper good and strong.

He is fighting for a big stake, she says, and he is a shrewd lawyer of many years’ practice, and he knows the effect such letters would have upon the public. She speaks of Richard Snell as ‘“Dick.’’ Denounces Snell's Son. “Dick, an only son, has not hesitated to blacken the name of his dead father by producing these alleged letters. Is it likely that he would hesitate to blast my reputation, too, if he could?” she said to the Post-Dispatch reporter. She declares that she will go to Clin- ton and testify as soon as her lawyer sends for her and then her good name and that of her granduncle will be cleared, she declares. ‘Il am going there to clear the mem- ory of. my granduncle as much as to defend my own good name,” she ex- claimed. “And when I tell my story all will be made right.” Letters Shocked Kansas City.

That she could have written such letters seemed be- yond belief to those who had known her for years.. To her intimate friends she denied -authorship of the letters. To the public she refused, until seen by the Post-Dispatch reporter, to say a word. Mrs. McNamara and her husband, James V. McNamara, talked freely to the representative of the Post- Dispatch. It was the: first statement either had given out. They said they wished their denial of the letters to ap- pear first in the columns of the Post- Dispatch. * Mr. McNamara is about 35 years old. He is chief Deputy Sheriff of Jackson County. He and Miss Snell were mar- ried six months ago. “I know we are up against a bad legal battle,”” he said. ‘Wick Snell, who is fighting to break the will, is worth per- haps a quarter of a million. He is the nly son of Col. Snell and he is so greedy for all the estate, which I understand is worth upward of a million dollars, that ne is willing to blacken the reputation of his father. He is doing that for mon- ey. And to get it he not only ruins the good name of his father, but he is seek- ing to ruin the reputation of my wife, the favorite relative of his father. “We are going to Clinton to defend the good name of Col. Snell and the good name of my wife. Never Heard of Letters. “My wife never saw or heard of these letters until she read them in the news- papers. I don’t Know where they came from, but it does not seem impossible that a man who would assaii the char- acter of his father for money, as Dick Snell is doing, would hesitate to do other things. Dick Snell is old enough to realize what filial respect should be. He is 66. “My wife and I fee! that the papers have been very unjust to us. The let- ters published have not been introduced in evidence. They are reported to be held under guard somewhere. The pa- pers should not have printed them. I am glad the Post-Dispatch is going to give the other side and do us justice." Mr. McNamara was asked if Col Snell had bought the home in Kansas City. “Perhaps so, and perhaps not. Wa don't wish to go upon record in that matter now’ You know our case is on trial and our lawyers have told us not to talk. We simply wish at this timo to deny the letters. We believe we ought to do that. All other matters will be explained fully by my wife when she be prepared for any emer- gency. Take along loans It’s a penetrating, antiseptic remedy for Toothache, Neu- ralgia, Sprains, Bruises, Cuts, Burns, Insect Bites and Rusty Nail Scratches, goes upon the witness stand in Clin- ton. “We wish vou would state that Dick Snell was well provided for by his father in his lUfetime. Dick Snell was practicing law in Kansas City, and was not very suc- cessful, when his father sent for him and gave him the bank in Clinton. He just gave it to him outright and Dick owns it now and is independently rich.”’ “Now he seeks‘to create the impres- sion that his father cut him off with only $50 a year. Col. Snell did provide well for him in giving him the bank. “At the trial there undoubtedly will be letters read that were written by my wife to her grand uncle. And there may be a great deal of affectionate language in them, but you must remember that she was only a girl when she wrote them, and she was very fond ‘of her grand uncle, as he was of her. She had few relatives.’ Her father was dead. And she loved and respected this aged relative, who was so kind to her. The idea that there was anything improper in their relations is preposterous, and I don’t think they will ‘ever dare to try and prove it in court. “Another thing; did you notice that none of the letters produced so far bore any date? That is significant in itself.”’ Father a Blacksmith, The father of Mrs. Mabelle Snell- McNamara was a blacksmith in Em.- poria, Kan. After he died, 15 years ago, his widow and Mabelle, the only daugh- ter, moved to Kansas City. That was 10 years ago. The: lived at Thirteenth and Charlotte street and Miss Snell worked as a stenographer. They ap- peared to have plenty of money. All their associates were of good social standing. Miss Snell was vivacious and fond of society. She was a member of an afternoon card party and other so- cial clubs, and she and her mother often entertained in their own home. There was never a breath of scandal against Miss Snell until the suit to break the Snell will began. It is a peculiar thing that few of the friends of Miss Snell in Kansas City ever heard of the rich granduncle until the will suit began. To a few of her young women friends she confided that She had a rich uncle in Illinois and she told them that she disliked him. A young woman who was the Social as- Ssociate of Miss Snell said: ““Mabelle told me about the uncle and said she expected he would leave her some money when he died. She told ma COLDS CURED IN ONE DAY 'she disliked the old man.” None of the associates of Mabelle re- member seeing Col. Snell in Kansas City. Son Practi¢ed Law. Richard Snell, the only sen, who is su- ing to break the will, was for years a practicing lawyer in Kansas City and is well remembered there. He was a mem- ber of the firm of Lyon & Snell. He was quite a politician in a local way and at one time he held the office of County Accountant. James V. McNamara, the husband of Mabelle Snell-McNamara, is a nephew of the noted ‘‘‘Bishop’’ McNamara, who went about the country twelve or fifteen years ago lecturing against and denounc; ing the Catholic church. He asserted that he had been a bishop of that church and had voluntarily renounced it. On the other hand, the assertion was made that he had been unfrocked and expelled from the church. During the A. P. A. excitement of 1b years ago, ‘“‘Bishop’ McNamara was mobbed in the streets, his cab riddled with stones and bullets and he and his pretty young wife barely escaped alive. To escape a crowd he stayed in hiding in the home of James V. McNamara’s father, and was taken frem there by the police and placed in Jail for safekeep- ing. ——_——_—_@——— MINISTER’S WIFE IS DEFENDED BY DAUGHTER By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Jan. Hamilton, the 16-year-old daughter who was one of the late Mil- lionaire “‘Tom’’ Snell’s beneficiaries in his old age, declared today at the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house at the Uni- versity of Illinois that the letters from her father to Col. Snell, filed as part of the suit to break his will, do not really reflect upon her father, her mother and herself, and that in time they will be explained. Mrs. Lura Hamilton is ill with nervous prostration, having been removed from ths hotel here to a private santarium for treatment after the letters were filed. Her whereabouts and the where- abcuts of the Rev. E. A. Hamilton, her husband, are Kept secret, The letters were filed 10 days ago at Clinton, where the trial of the suit is in progress, with a deposition by the Rev. Dr. 8S. H. Whitlock of Danville, presiding elder of this district, who iden- tified the handwriting of the notes thanking the aged _ millionaire for ehecks of $100 and $200 and begging him for $1000, with invitations to visit the preacher's home and have a “good time,”” as the handwriting of Pastor Hamilton. A note on the back of one of the letters written by Mrs. Hamil- ton addressed Col. Snell as “darling.” Minister and Wife Leave Mrs. Hamiiton left Newman when she heard the Rev. Dr. Whitlock haa been summoned to Clinton to identify the let- ters, and she became ill the following day. The letters were not made public until Saturday. It was then she and the minister left the hotel here. “The wrong construction has been put on those letters,” Eelna Hamilton ex- claimed, in tears. ‘‘Father will be able to explain it all away. I do not see why they had to drag innocent persons into that dreadful suit.’’ Further than this Mfiss Hamilton re. fused to talk, saying she and her father had agreed notto discuss the letters in detail at this time. Sheisa slim, dark- eyed girl, with masses of black hair. Her friends at the sorority house are faithful to her, and declare that she is innocent of anything questionable in connection with the rich old rafiroad builder of Clinton. Diamonds Caused Wonder.

Then he sat down be- side me and offered me a cigar. I told him I only smoked cigarettes, being a light smoker, and he offered me a ciga- rette, which I took. He asked me how I liked the play and I told him not much. Discussed Speculation. “Thaw asked me what I was doing in Wall street. I told him I was not spec- ulating any more. He told me he liked Amalgamated Copper and the Steel stocks. He considered the former a good purchase, as they were doing an enormous business, and anyone who bought them could make a lot of money. “IT told Thaw I was to sail for Europe the following Thursday. He asked me what ship I was going on and I said the Deutschland. He said he didn’t like that ship, as she broke down too much. I told him she was fast and that she suited me. “Then he asked me if I was ‘very much married.’ I asked him what he meant and he said: ‘Are you above meeting a very nice girl?’ “‘l asked him what he meant—if the girl was on the garden roof. He de- clared she was ‘a buxom brunette,’ not particularly good-looking, but a _ nice girl. Stopped Thaw’s Story. “I told him I was much obliged to him, but I was not that kind. He then asked me about the members of his party, if I had met them, and told me it was too bad I did not know Mr. Beale; that he was a very fine man. ‘“‘He started to recall a circumstance about two men and a woman, but I stopped him, declaring I was too young then to remember. When I told him I had passed my fiftieth birthday he seemed surprised, and, excusing him- self to me, left me and went back to his wife. *‘He arose again and started across the garden. “‘He walked across to a table and I lost sight of him until I heard three pistol shots. I went over and saw a man lying half on a table. I saw that it was my brother-in-law.” Smith Cross-Examined. By his cross-questioning Littleton brought out that Smith and his broth- er-in-law had never enjoyed exception- ally close relations, either business or social. Littleton forced the witness into a8 long narration of his movements on the night of the tragedy and brought out that Smith had never met Evelyn Nesbit prior to the tragedy. “You say,’’* queried Littleton, ‘‘thuat from the time the Thaw party entered the roof garden until they took their seats you kept your eyes riveted upon them ?’’ oa “How long were they in reaching thcir seats?’’ ‘“‘A minute and a half.’’ “And for 90 seconds you kept your eyes riveted on the party? Why? “Oh, they attracted my attention.” Watched Thaw Closely. “And when Thaw left his seat you continued to keep watch on him?’ “I did, because he interested me more than the play.’”’ ‘As Thaw came up to you wearing an overcoat?’ ‘‘He was not.”’ ‘‘Are you sure of that?’ ‘‘T am.”’ “Did you reduce to writing your con- versation with Thaw that night?’ “| ee... “You memorized these notes?” “Téa Littleton made slow progress and gained little from his efforts to break down Smith’s testimony. “Why did you swear that you knew Thaw was looking at the spot where White was sitting, as he looked over the audience, when you actually did not know White was preSent?’’ thundered Littleton. . ‘‘Because, sir,’ fairly shouted Smith, ‘the minute I saw the body of my mur- dered brother-in-law lying there I re- membered Thaw had kept looking di- rectly in that direction, and I knew at once that he had been watching him.’’ After the luncheon recess Mr. Littleton continued the examination by asking: ‘Didn’t it occur to you at the time, or hasn’t it ocurred since, that Thaw may have mistaken you for someone else?’ “Certainly not,’’ replied Mrs. Smith. ‘“‘He knew who I was.”’ District Attorney Jerome conducted the redirect examination. Jerome Beaten Twice. Mr. Jerome offered in evidence the memorandum made by the witnéss the night of the killing, but Mr. Littleton objected and it was withdrawn. During the redirect examination of Mr. Smith, Messrs. Jerome and Little- ton had their first clash. Mr. Littleton insisted that he should not be inter- rupted by the District Attorney when he was addressing the Court and was sus- tained in his position.

Paxson said that after Thaw was ar- rested he requested to be taken down in the elevator immediately, as he did not want to appear before any of the persons on the roof. “Going down in the lift,’”’ the witness testified, ‘““Thaw said: ‘He ruined my wife.’ Young Mrs. Thaw said: ‘Yes, Harry, but look at the fix you are in now.’ ‘* ‘Never mind, dearie,’ Thaw replied, ‘I have probably saved your life.’ Mrs. Holman May Testify Mrs. Charles J. Holman, who at the last trial was wanted as a witness by the District Attorney, may testify at the present trial—but as a witness for the defense. As the mother of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw she had ample opportunity to study Thegw and her opinion of him is said to bear out Littleton's contention that the accused has been suffering from progressive insanity for years. According to information that reached Mr. Littleton from Pittsburg, Mrs. Hol- man declares Thaw was insane long be- fore he married Evelyn: that she herself was afraid of him, so violent were his actions at times. Littleton will consider the question of calling her. Mrs. Holman, in a statement made today, accuses White of bribing her son Howard to take personal correspondence from her desk and hand it over to him. These comprised letters Thaw to her mother and correspondence with White. Howard, Mrs. Holman de- from Evelyn | clared, told her of this after the last trial ended. In explaining the matter, Mrs. Hol- man stated she did not blame White, and stated that if he had asked her for the letters she would likely have given them to him herself. France Wins Heaviter-Than-Alr Sky Race. PARIS, Jan. 13.—Henry Farnam, the French aeroraut, today won the Deut- sche-Arch Deacon prize o $10,000 by SS CASTOR OIL IN PILLS Most every one has an impression that the “oil” in Castor Oil is the gen- eral that routs the enemy of mankind, constipation. This has been proven to be erroneous; and if we stop to think this impression should never have been entertained, for if the “oil” has this property, any other oil would do as well. But lard oil, whale oil or animal oils will not act on the bowels. Ever think of that? We learn that it is the nauseous, acrid particles in Castor Oil which nourishes the bowel-nerves and thus relieves constipation, The only way to take this valuable medi- cine and get the effect without the taste is to ask your druggist for a sweet little pill called Blackburn’s Cas- tor-Oil-Pills. Mr. Blackburn controls the manufacture of this wonderful new remedy and it is sold by all leading druggists in ten and twenty-five cent packages. It is stated that this new remedy is pleasurable in its effect on the bowels, and is recommended for old and young. 3 lence of an Aero Club. HOTELS PONCE DELEON .. .

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright ney by the Press Pub. Co. . w York World.) RIO SANEIRO, Jan. ar ee ma- jestically into the harbor here at 3:15 p. m. Sunday, the American battleship fleet, bound to the Pacific, was vocifer- ously cheered by thousands of enthusi astic Brazilians. But the cordiality of the welcome was tempered by apprehension. News from Pernambuco told of ugly rioting on shore by 200 American sailors of the tor- pedo fleet, which arrived there the day befor: Sailors Attack Police. The trouble at Pernambuco began among the American sailors themselves. The police of that city undertook to restore order and the men from the flo- tilla attacked the police for interfer- ing. The net result of it all was that a large number of sailors were severely handled and 20 were locked up in the city prison charged with being intoxi- cated. The Braziljan squadron of three bat- tleships, one cruiser, three gunboats and some small torpedo craft, sailed at 4 Pp. m, Saturday to meet the American battleship fleet at and escort it. into the harbor. By noon 300,000 people, in holiday at- tire and mood, gathered along the Beir- amar boulevard and on the hills of Ti- juca and Corovono and wildly cheered the grandest spectacle ever witnessed in South America. Stretched out in one long line the battleships steamed slowly through the passage into the bay. Officials Visit Ships. As soon as the anchorage was made the Brazilian Minister of Marine, Ad- miral Alencar, the Captain of the Port, and American Consul G. E. Anderson, the commandants of the naval divisions and the civic authorities, went on board the Connecticut and extended a hearty welcome to Admiral Evans, his officers and men. Tater the chief officers of the fleet landed early and went gt once to Petrop- ojis, where they were guests at lunch- eon of Mr. Dudley, the American Am- bassador. This afternoon he is to pre- sent them to President Penna at the executive palace, and tonight a banquet Will be given in honor of the visiting officers. Admiral Evans is suffering so "greatly from rheumatism that he has ordered Admiral Thomas to represent him at various functions on shore. Many Fetes Planned. On Monday, Jan. 20, a banquet of 600 covers will. be offered to Admiral Evans and his men and on Tuesday a fare- well entertainment will be given aboard the flagship Connecticut. On Wednes- day, Jan. 22, the fleet is scheduled to leave the Brazilian capital, followed by 21 Brazilian ships. Flotilla Goes to Rio. PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, Jan. 13.—The American torpedo boat. flotilla left here today for Rio de Janeiro.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The War Department has not been informed as yet of the reported withholding of the contract for the construction of the fortification in Hawaii for the aHeged reason that Japanese were really the lowest bidders. Investigation here shows that only a limited amount of foundation work is now in progress there and the officials see no reason why any line should be drawn on account of the nationality of those, who are to do this work, the na- ture of which cannot be concealed, so that they would hesitate before they re- jected the lowest bid on that account. The principal work now on hand in Hawaii consists in the construction of two sets of mortar batteries for which Congress has specifically appropriated $300,000. , Work to Cost $1,100,900, One of these batteries is located .at Diamond Head, the great promontory commanding the entrance to the harbor at Honolulu, and-the other is on the point at the entrance to Pearl Harbor. In addition to these large works there are some rifle gun emplacements near Quarantine and along the water front of Honolulu... This year's’estimates con- template the expenditure of $1,110,000 to perfect the fortifications of the Sanid- wich Islands, and for that amount it is said an impregnable naval base can be obtained on the Island of Oahu. A breakwater is under construction in Hilo Bay on the Island of Hawaii, but as this is not complete Honoluiu and Pearl Harbor are the only harbors which now could be*used by naval ves- se hs, Improving.

South Compton Averme Home Destroyed and Household _. Has Close Call.

William Ehmke, his wife aged their four’ children, the youngest an infant, fied from their burning home at 4919 South Comptoneavenue in the freezing ® cold of early Monday ‘morning, clad only in their night clothes. | The Ehmke home took fire at 2:40 a m. from the explosion of a lamp which had been left burning. Ehmke and his wife were awakened by smoke and flames and the fire seemed so near them that Mrs. Ehmke took time only to pick up her bavy and the next young- est child and run through the snow tw an adjoining vacant house. Ehmke and the older children, l’réda, aged & and Robert, 6, ran after them, none taking time to slip om more than _ their shoes, ein. Father Goes for Clothes, Ebmke, leaving his shivering family in their temporary shelter, ran back to the burning house, toward which the fire engines could be heard coming ‘through a quagmire Of mud and slush. He ran in, seized all the clothing he could find and hastened back to his family. Wrapped in scanty clothing and bed clothes, the wife and children ran to the home of Ehmke’s brother, Frank Ebmke, at 4730 Michigan avenue, aroused the family there, and were gi warm clothes and beds. The home, a two-story frame, was a total loss. A north wind made it impos- sible to check the fire. {t was impossible for the fire engines to get closer to the burning building than the corner of Virginia avenue and Walsh street on account of the depth of the mud, and 800 feet of hose was laid.

MAN ATTACKED WHILE ASLEEP ACCUSES FRIEND al ‘M, J. Hoffman, Beaten and Robbed in. Bed, Names W. W. Mudd.

William W. Mudd of 2722. Pine street is under arrest on suspicion of attack- ing Michael J. Hoffman, his friend for eight years, while Hoffman slept, beat- ing him into insensibility with the bar- rel of a shotgun and robbing him of $61. Hoffman is at the City Hospital. It is said he will recover. Mudd told a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday that he had never been in Hoffman’s room at 1106 Angelrodt street, and was not guilty of the assault. His arrest was due to Hoffman, who gave Mudd’s name to the police. All Saturday, until 6 p. m., Hoffman, Mudd and three others played penuchla in a grocery at Bleventh and Angelrodt streets. ‘The other three were James Burke, Herman Witbrodt and frank Shipp. ‘There was no quarrel during the game, Mudd says, After that, he says, he went home and to bed. When Hoffman went home at 10 p. m. Saturday he noticed a cake of snow, apparently from a man’s shoe, at his door, but supposed someone had ealled’ to see him in his absence. He 10w thinks that was the footprint of his assailant, and that the man hid under a bed while waiting for him (Hoffman) to fall asleep. Braces Door With Chair.

They are numerous, they are intelligent, and they are likely to vote as they talk. ote gee The courage and It is said of his appearance in the ‘People’s Forum” at Cooper Union that he did not shed any new light on the subjects in which the public eis interested, but this evidently is a mistake. When a candidate for the presidency goes be- fore a hostile audience and for 45 minutes an- ‘swers freely and frankly all of the questions that “are propounded to him, and at the ¢lose of the ordeal receives the cordial applause of his hearers, t is plain enough that something has been gained “on both sides.

eee THE TWO-CENT RATE JUSTIFIED. Many a blessing comes in a forbidding guise, and so in numerous cases, no doubt, the two- cent passenger rate laws have helped and not afflicted the railroads. | The figures given by Attorney-General Hadley in his recent speech are understandable as well as instructive. He shows that under the old 3-cent a mile rate for some and cut rates and no rate at all for others various railroads, admittedly doing a profitable passenger business, realized per mile rates as follows: Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 1.88; Wabash, 1.77; Missouri Pacific, 1.88. In nearly every case in which the 2-cent rate has been established by law states have adminis- tered an antidote in the form of an act prohibit- ing or restricting passes. The pass evil was a8 burdensome one and it certainly operated not only to’ produce inequality and favoritism, but to obstruct the natural tendency .toward a reduction of rates. Railway practice differed in regard to this matter, but that there used to be railways which carried as many free as paying passengers Can- not be denied. The abuse was outrageous in every respect and in a sense it was corrupting. It worked generally in favor of the well-to-do and against the poor. He that had much money rode free, while he that had little paid the highest price. / It is to be hoped that Mr. Hadley, whose tem- perate statements were well received by rail- road -men, is right in his prediction that there will be no further opposition to the 2-cent laws. While it may be found that exceptions should be made to the rule, the belief is general that in most instances it has resulted in benefit rather than’ hardship. What is of even more importance than that, it has removed a popular sense of injustice which was reaching a point where it might lead to mis- chief.

=] * én ee EXILED BY THE GRAND JURY. One of the grand jury’s witnesses in the graft investigation has left town for a “prolonged visit,” it is said. By reference to former experience St. Louis will interpret this as a promising sign; it means that the jury is grinding to some purpose and it marks an important stage of the proceedings when men begin to flee the jurisdiction. Whether they are ever brought back or not is unirfiportanht to the result, for when enough has been disclosed to drive men away it is patent that mthe case probably no longer depends upen any one man’s testimony, and practically his flight is an admission which draws the net closer about the others in the plot. One of the demonstrated truths of boodle his-

itude, and lasts longer. Probably also it lends, negatively, quite as much strength to the morale oi government. The enforced sojourn of a Daniel J. Kelley or a former St. Louis capitalist. in France means even more than convictions in the way of advertising an aroused municipal antagon- ism to graft. _— = * i i 4 THE J. DAVIS MYSTERY. Just what happened to Senator Jefferson Davis at Chicago the other day may never be known. The Senator was to have told the Chicagoese all about “The Dangers That Threaten the Re- public,” but he failed to appear. His own ex- planation is that he missed his train. The hotel clerk says he arrived on time. His private sec- retary explains that he took a nap and overslept. In St. Louis it is asserted that when he left for Chicago he was exceedingly tired. With sué¢h an experience as this the distin- guished Arkansas statesman should be able at some future time to tell the people something about the dangers threatening the Republic that will make their hair stand on end. yh il — ww | FIRES IN SKYSCRAPERS. Officials of the New York fire department and leading underwriters have repeatedly asserted that fires above the eighth floor could not be suc- cessfully fought. The complete destruction of a 13-story “‘fire- proof” building in Fourth avenue is regarded in some quarters as proof of this contention, but it is noteworthy that in this case the building was used throughout for printing and publishing, and that the risks in such places are always deemed hazardous. Most of the exceedingly high buildings in this country are employed exclusively for office pur- poses and their safety against fire is due to the fact that they contain little inflammable materia] and that the danger of ignition is not great. A 13-story building is hardly a sky scraper now, but evidently it is too high to be devoted to in- dustries handling large quantities of paper and oils. Except in a general conflagration the true sky scraper is protected by the character of its oc- cupants as well as by the nature of its con- struction.

The Suburban Right of Way. Bo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The disgusting condition of the private alley along Suburban railroad’ is continual cause for complaint. The offense is rank, smells to Heaven and looks like the other place. Mayor Wells-could force the owners of this alley to pave it in 30 days by enforcing one clause of Ordinance 1170: “No person shall deposit any substance whatever on any public street.’’ Dirt is carried every day from the numerous exits of this mud alley onto cross streets by wagon wheels, and in quantities after every rain and freeze or thaw. There are now about six loads of this dirt «cn city side- walk at King’s highway crossing. The garbage wag- ons are not allowed by ordinance to go on private grounds to collect, nor to collect garbage unless in proper receptacles. It would be proper and just to forbid them going through this unprepared private alley for the purpose, W. S. STUYVESANT. When the Breweries Close. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn. Mr. Humphrey asks what are the hundreds and thousands of employes who work for the breweries going to do if they are closed. Let me say that if the manufacture, sale and importation of all intoxi- cating liquors in this country is prohibited by law, thousands, yes millions, of men will have more cents in their pockets and more sense in their heads. Ac- cordingly instead of the drunkard spending his wages for liquor, he will bring it home to his wife and children, which money will be used to purchase the necessities of life and perhaps occasionally some Iit- tle extra treat, which his wife and children are now deprived of. This will create a greater demand than heretofore for foodstuffs, clothing, shoes and other household necessities, and therefore many new fac- tories of various kinds will spring up to supply this demand, and they wili give employment to as many men, if not more, as were formerly employed by the breweries. O. E. CARTER, 705 Lafayette avenue. The Landlard’s Side. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to “‘Renter,” wish to say that she only views the question from one point of view. People |who cannot afford to pay $17 a inonth for rent must move into a cheaper neighborhood. She can find plenty three-room flats on the cutskirts of the city for less than $12 per month. Destitution is caused a great deal by a lack of knowledge of how to econo- mize and manage, and many cases are the result of have plenty, spend -plenty. The landlord is up against it, too. Don’t forget that. I know a land- lord who is a perfect gentleman and whose income is about $85 a month from rent, providing his houses are ali occupied. If vacant, the landlord looks pleas- ant and the would-be tenant don’t care a cent. The expenses go on just the same. He pays $197 a year interest, $75 taxes ‘and about $90 water license to our philanthropic county water company on four meas- ly, little houses. Now, there is repairing, insurance and other incidentals. Then, you know, tenants stand the landlord off, too, occasionally. Don't miss that. EQUITY. Mr. Kern’s Complaint. To,the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Robert H. Kern is just now making a hullabaloo against Gov. Folk.

The publication in the Post-Dispatch of a matrimonial census taken in that establishment brought a flood of letters to this office, Their tone is well illustrated by the following seelctions from : Working Women Won't Wed.” the pile: The Dearest Wish. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. I have just been reading the axticle in the Post-Dispatch entitled “Why I be- ' ' Heve that St. Louis working girls are ? just like every class of girls the world over. The dearest wish of each (’ girl’s heart is a home of her own and a husband to love and be loved by. ag False pride, however, keeps this se- - ret locked in our hearts and no one 4 but the right man will ever find it out.

Dispe ich ® your query, “Do ‘love ‘in a cottage’ as a fate isl f i ; i ¥ Ps 4 pared, with the baby on her knee to kiss her lord and master. Of course the girls (as a rule) in St. Louis, may be flirty, fond of theater and have voices like lions, but excuse me from your moon- faced bachelors. I think when I am ready to be married I will go out to the country and try to win a simple rube, who owns a farm, stays at home in the evening, and I believe nearly all office girls will agree with me that this will be about the only way I will be able to realize the dream of “love in a cottage.” E. L. O. “Impossible Old Maids.” To the Bditor of the Poet-Disyatch. I notice that you have discovered a large bunch of girls that are absolutely independent and also will never marry only a man with a grand income, capa- ble of furnishing them all the luxuries of modern life. It is all very well to say that, but wait until the strain of trying to ‘fill a man’s place in commer- cial life spoils what good looks they have now. They will then find them- selves impossible old maids whom no man would dare to marry, even if he wanted to. They will then have a fu- ture of only hard werk and the lovely prospect of a loveless life. Parents are not going to live forever, and when they are gone ‘‘independent maidens” will not know where to turn for a lov- ing word or a square meal; unless she provides it for herself. Better think again, you girls. JAMES V. ‘KINDIG. A Get-Rich-Quick Scheme. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Some of the answers to the query: Why won't workingwomen wed? apply to both classes, those who work and those who do not. Both classes are averse to matrimony, unless the said matrimony means a life of perfect ease, with the luxury and independence enjoyed by the wives of millionaires. The working girls of the class inter- viewed have from their ever-increasing self-reliance and indifference to men of meager income come to look upon mat- rimony as a get-rich-quick: scheme. If the promoter can show them a certifi- cate of deposit of sufficient funds to float the aforementioneq scheme for a period of from ten to twenty-five years of domestic luxury and extravagant masculine freedom, they are ready, yes eager, to invest. But what have they to invest? Good looks, perhaps a pret- FOR THE HOME TABLE q. by ty figure, minus a cheerful disposition, and the ability to properly administer to the needs of her husband and the fitness to become the mother of his chil- dren. The man must be plentifully sup- plied with the world’s goods, otherwise there is nothing doing. As for love in a cottage, that is out of the question with any of that class of girls. It must be a “swell mansion” or nothing. But |! remember, girls, the man on matrimony bent, who strolls around with a nation- al bank under his arm is out to snnex a bunch of money equal to or greater than his own. Cc. M. O’BANNON, . 4344 Olive. “Slaves of Wealth.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your sociological studies as to why young girls do not marry are interesting. The Great Teacher said: “Life consist- eth not in the abundance of things a man possesseth,’’ and experience con- stantly justifies this saying. Life con- sists in what a man gets out of it and this largely results from what he is in himself. Riches do not give as true friends, nor children, nor longer life, nor increased happiness. Among our friends, do they become happier as they become richer? Is it not often the re- verse, and boredom at everything takes the place of simple expectancy. Lin- coln once said: “God must have loved the poor, as he has made so many of them.’’ Where these girls see drudgery, the unselfish husband and mother see only interested and loving service and joyful hopefulness for the “times yef to be.” When old age comes crowned with consciousness of duties fulfilled, sacrifices rewarded, those we have brought into the world and helped to raise and train take our places in life with increasing honor and success.

I wonder if they will take some coffee on for their cargo.’’ “Battleships don’t: have cargoes,’’ tittered the Tall Manicure. ‘“‘No, Sarah,”’ said the New Boarder at that moment, addressing the wait- ress “I will not have coffee this evening. I did not have it last evening, the evening before that, or any evening since I have been here, and I will not have it any evening while I remain. “T hope that did not have a peevish sound,” he remarked to the other board- ers as Sarah withdrew. “Really, I am not disposed to complain of that young woman’s attempt to force coffee upon me. It is the least of my troubles with the purveyors of that cup which cheers some, but most infernally aggravates me. ‘‘But speaking of Brazil, do you reaiize that we all pay tribute to that in- teresting eountry and its coffee growers? Even I, who do not drink coffee, help the landlady to provide the rest of you with it. And there is as little place in the general scheme of things for a non-coffee drinkér as there is for a left- handed man. ‘‘When I go to a restaurant and give my order, the waiter brings perhaps two of the four things I have ordered, and a cup of coffee, which I did not order, and punches the coffee up on my check before I have time to correct him. “Or, if he does not do this, he pune tuates my meal with such oer as ‘Did you order coffee?” or ‘You said coffee, didn’t you?’ “That is not merely carelessness. It is a studied effort to push the sale of coffee on the recognized principle that there is big profit in «anything that ig made chiefly out of water. .The waiter knows that if he sells ‘coffee to every man, the boss will net care very much whether he delivered every piece of pie that was ordered or not. “The old-time waiter, who remembere! long orders for a whole table and gave every man his hat and coat as he went out, was an artist. The modern com- mon, or short order, waiter, is nothing but a coffee peddler.’’ “Yet on your own showing,” said the Head Bookkeeper, “the coffee drinkers are paying for your meal. If it wasn’t for the profit the short-order people make off the coffee they sell they couldn’t give you your ham and eggs for 10 cents—or is it 15 cents you pay for them?” “I pay all they are worth,” answered the New Boarder as he got up and edged out As he disappeared the other boarders all insisted that the Head Bookkeeper should take a second piece of cake.

i, ad City Championships to End Monday Night: Dillon and Ries Make New Mark at Doubles.

ciation, which has been in progress on 16 alleys at the De Soto tenpin resort, Seventh and Pine streets, for a week, will end Monday evening when 11 five-men, 20 two-men and 40 individuals are scheduled to roll their tournament games. “*Two high marks for the tournament were surpassed Sunday, Dr. Billy Dillon and Ries setting new counts for the doubles, both seratch competition and handicap. Their total, including handi- cap for three games, was 1274. -~Masson and Darling held the high scratch and handicap marks for the two- men competition. Dillon and Ries rolled their games in the two-men competition Sunday afternoon. They are members of the Lynch team. Dillon is a member of the Dillon fam- ily noted for its athletic ability. Billy Dillon was a star rugby and soccer foot- bail player, hockey player and was also a track athlete. He has also made a success at the tenpin game. Dillion Is the Star. Dillon was easily the star Sunday. He gathered 622 pins to Ries’ 592. The team was allowed a total handicap of 60 pins. This gave the Dillon-Ries combination & total of 1274, 2 pins better than the next best handicap mark. f Darling and Masson’s 1213 was beaten by Dillon and Ries by one pin. The high scratch mark for individuals, 607, held jointly by Schaffner and Char- ley Stokes was bettered by C. Lang, who sent over 612 pins. Schaffner still holds high handicap mark for the tourna- lent, 676 pins. Cc. Kenney and W. Kenney also dia strong work in the two-men team com- petition Sunday. C. Kenney secured 584 pins to W. Kenney’s 557. With a handi- cap of 81 pins this gave to the Planters’ double a total of 1222 pins. McAlenan, with a handicap of 54 pins, will cut in for a good slice of prize money as the result of a total of 654 pins, including a 5&@pin handicap. Bliss got a total of 624. He was allowed a total of 42 pins. | Expect No More Records. While it hardly seems probable that any of the high marks of the tourna- ment will be battered Monday night . it is possible that the 612 mark from scratch for the individual competition may be shattered. This is not such a high mark and the men bowling on five- men teams and in the two-men compe- ion have bettered it. ‘wo marks that seem almost certain °o atand are the high handicap and high ‘scratch marks for the five-men ms. _Both were established on the i ypening night of the tournament a week 850 Sunday. The De Soto Stars, the only scratch team of the tournament,

T HE annual handicap tournament of the City Ten Pin Asso- Their scratch total was 1214. The De Soto No. 1 team came right back with a total of 2814, including handicap. The Stars’ mark has never been in danger since. Several teams came near the De Soto No. 1 team’s mark? but when it came to the finish would weaken and miss out. None of fhe five-men teams that will bowl this evening seem to have a chance to break either mark with ‘the possible exception of the Froelichs. The Froelichs are a fairly strong league team, ang if the men should happen to get going with their big handicap they have a chance to lower the No. 1 team’s handicap total. % Stats Likely to Stand. The Stars’ mark seems certain to stand, however, all of the strong teams of the city having already bowled with- out touching it. Dillon and Ries’ mark for the two-men teams should also stand as the high totals. Lockwood, Wilder and Barker of the Cabannes will shoot in the doubles this vening. All of the men are good bowl- Sen and may ma&ke some big counts. Dennis Sweeney and Holland will shoot their two-men games this evening also. Sweeney has for the past couple of years done the unexpected in the dou- bles, and the hard-working secretary of the Tenpin Association may possibly repeat tonight. Blickhahn of the West End League, who has rolled two perfect games of tenpins so far this season, is doubled up with Froelich. If “Blick’’ could only get in 12 strikes in a row this evening it would certainly help. But perfect games of tenpins are almost impossi- ble things to wish for in a championship tournament. ‘ Has Been great Success. One hundred and sixteen five-men teams were entered for the tournament. In every way the competition has been a success, although, as to the expected, some of the bowlers have complained because of the handicaps allowed some teams. These nandicaps were figured on the averages of the bowlers for the season and the handicapping committee is not to blame. Sunday night a packed house watched the bowlers. Every night standing room has been at a premium. Another big crowd expected to witness the wind- up of the tournament this evening. The tournament is the largest ever held in this city, with the exception of the American Bowling Congress competition last spring. As a result of the enthusi- asm worked up by the City Tournament local bowling men are confident that at least twenty-five five-men teams wil! make the trip to Cincinnati next month to compete in the American Bowling Congress competition.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13—No matter what happens at Albany this winter, whether the Percy-Gray Racing law re- Wiains on the statutes or is swept out of the archives, there will be racing in And if the yord of*a prominent member of the i ey Club is to be credited, “it wit! be tinued until the crack of doom.” °There is no law agaifSt a contest of @peed between horses,” said the turf- Mian, “It Is the gambling feature of the ort that is objectionable. As the turf authorities haye divorced betting from - yacing—they have made this statement many times—there is no reason why g cannot be maintained without it. “Anyhow, it will be attempted. With without the Percy-Gray law, racing fll be held at the various racetracks hich for years have been the battle ine a_of the the--vehbreds. All the “classics’’—such as the Suburban, okiyn and Brighton handicaps, the ‘Trial, Realization, Century, Fu- ir "and Jockey Club stakes—will be horsemen voice the same opinion. The overnight sweepstakes and handi- caps will begin with $700 and _ $1000 added money at Aqueduct, but in the event that the patronage fails to war- rant such big expenditures, the money will be cut down to $400 and $500. Attendance Is Everything. Of course, everything depends upon the attendance. It is from the ‘‘gate’”’ that the racing associations now receive their revenues. For two years the rac- ing associations have not received a cent, directly or indirectly, from the betting ring. The old claim that each bookmaker, when he paid $57 to the representative of the clubs, bought so many “badges’ was pure fiction and merely a subterfuge. No one realized this better than the racing magnates, dnd, when the rum- bdings of the threatened crusade against the tracks were first heard, they were the first to abolish the tion. For two years the racetracks have relied upon the gate receipts. The pool- room privilege, which amounted to $1200 a day, was cut out voluntarily. This meant a big loss, but as the clubs had determified upon a warfare against the poolrooms they did not consider it con- sistent to accept the money from out- of-town’ poolmen and at the same time fight the local roébms.

ent indications, the Central League will be greatly strengthened for the coming season. Players are being signed now, many from other organizations, and some of them are men of strong repu- tation on the diamond. One of the latest acquisitions is Rodg- ers, a pitcher, who has signed a Wheel- ing contract after being drafted from the Texas League. He was recom- mended to Wheeling by President Car- son of the Central League. Wheeling has also purchased Catcher Harry Rutson from the Pittsburg ina- tional League Club, and he will replace Philbin, who was lost by draft. Jack Hendricks, Guy Dickey and Mul- downey have signed contracts with Fort Wayne. ‘ It now appears that Richmond, in- stead of being a member of the Indiana- Ohio Laseball League, as was the case last season, will belong to a new and more pretentious organization, to include four of the cities of the Ohio-Pennsyl- vania circuit, which has disrupted. The Western cities in the O. P. League— Newark, Marion, Mansfield and Lan- caster—withdrew and will form a new circut, having in mind for the other cities Richmond, in Indiana, and Ham- iiton, Findlay, Sandusky, Lima and Springfield, in Ohio. ST. LOUIS U. TRACK MEN BEGIN The St. Louis University track squad will start training in.the St.. Louls Uni- versity Gymnasium at once for dual meets with the Central Y. Meee . and other local institutions. The meet with the Y. M. C. A. will be held in the auditorium, Cook. and Channing ave- nues, the latter part of this month. It is hardly probable that Washington U. will be represented by a team this sea- son, because of the differences between

George Abeln and John ‘‘Red”’ Layton will meet this evening at the Broadway in what is expected to be the feature match of the State championship pool tournament. Layton is pronounced by professional billiard and pool players to be the most promising pool player in the country. He has won two games and lost two in the tournament. Abeln is in the lead in the tourna- ment with a record of three games won aud none lost. Abeln is a strong player also. Layton’s friends are willing to back him against Abeln and quite 2a sum of money should change hands on the result of the game which will start at 8 p. m.

eS wre VF St. Leos Win Exciting Game From Kinlochs; Innisfails Held Down by Thistles,

eS Although every one of the local fie!ds was in miserable condition from the rain and snow, the soccer contests Sun- day were witnessed by fairly large crowds and two of the games proved exciting. Both of the leading teams in the big leagues were winners, the 8t. Leos defeating the Kinlochs at Kulage Park 2 to 1, while the Innisfails trimmed the Thistlies at Athletic Park by the same score. At Kulage Park the contest between the St. Lieos and Kinlochs was intense. The Kinhlochs were leading the St. Leos Then the St. Leos, by a wonderful rally, tied the score, Joe Mason shooting the ball through. Jim Flynn shortly after- wards again sent the leather through the Kinlochs’ goal for the winning count. Stars Are Absent. The Kinlochs Were weakened because Connie Reed failed to get in the game and Bobby Byrnes also failed to line up, although ..e was on the side lines. Little was also absent. Phil Kavanaugh scored for the Kinlochs by shooting the ball through the St. Leos goal early in the game. The Shamrocks finally came to life and won their first game of the season, defeating the North Ends, 2 to 0, in the opening contest of the afternoon at Ku- lage Park. The Thistles gave to the Innisfails a mueh harder game than was expected in the feature contest at Athletic Park. The St. Teresas ‘scored first, but the In- nisfails tied the score on a penalty kick. Pegg scored the second and what proved to be the winning goal for the Innisfails. Teams in a Tie In the first contest the St. Teresas and St. Mathews battled to a tile, 1 to 1. Smith and Haggerty scored the goals. Neither team was able to score during the first half. In the second half the play was fast, in spite of the mud. Both teams scored once, but neither was able to again place the ball between the uprights. The C. B. C. team fairly smothered the St. Marks in the second game of the Amateur League double header on the C. B. C. campus... The C. B. C. team won, 4 to 1. The St. Marks have been leading, but as a result of the loss of the game drop into third place. The Fischers won from the St. Anns, 2 to 0, and the Fischers are second in the league standing. C. B. C. has 12 points, the Fischers 1: and St. Marks 10. Cc B. C. Team Lively. The C. B. C. forwards proved too fast, in spite of the mud, for the St. Marks. Sheehan, Burns, Larson and Coad kept the ball in St. Marks territory most of the time and Mooney, in goal for the St. Marks, was kept busy throughout the game, as the four goals that got by him were only a small proportion of the hard shots that tne wearers of the purple and gold sent at him. ; The opening -ame between the St. Anns and Fischers was loosely played. Neither team was able to play at any- thing like its regular speed because of the heavy going. ST.

OLSEN TO APPEAR ON CLEVELAND MAT St. Louis Wrestler Will Give Exhi- bitions for a Week in Forest City.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 13.—Charles Olsen of St. Louis, a well-known wres- tler who has never been seen in Cleve- land, will appear at the Star .neater in the near future, meeting all comers for Olsen writes that by ‘‘all comers’’ he the best men in town taken on. who have come to Cleveland in the\ past have sought to fill most of: thei dates by taking on some easy marks,\merely meeting only one or two men réally worthy of their prowess. This is really te their dis- advantage, as the better men they meet the better it is for the house. Olsen, however, will not bar Jenkins, Beuldin, Yeager, Gehring or, in fact, anyone. He also announces that upon his arrival here he will offer to wrestle any man in America, barring Frank Gotch, for $1000 a side. ‘And I will have my own money to post,”’ he says. “If Beell, Bouldin or Jenkins think they can defeat me, now is their chance to get $1000 of my money.”’ Olsen is not as heavy as «totch, but is said to possess a wonderful pair of arms, they being extremely long.

Illinois has adopted the scheme of the Chicago’s of having a football profes- sor instead of a coach. Director Huff is to be‘at the head of the football team next fall and will have assistants, as Stagg does at the Midway institution. The Santa Anita racecourse on the coast, which, was thought to be short because of the fast time made by many of the horses there this winter, has been remeasured and found a trifle over the distance at every pole. There has been some talk of putting the walking race back in college ath- letics. It was discontinued about five years ago, as it was thought too stren- vous and damaging to the athletes. But the revival of the sport has set the ath- letes to work on it once more. If Michigan announces her intention of coming back into the Western col- lege conference once more there wiil be a mad scramble among the Western fall. Nearly all of the big schools are saving a date for the Wolverines. Vanderbilt University has booked a football game with Ohio State for next season, and the authotNities down there now say that there is little chance for St. Louis getting a game with MceGu- gan’s eleven in the fall. New York bowling clubs have ex- pressed a desire to enter the contests at Cincinnati this season. The American bowling Congress has been after the Eastern teams for several years now and some of them have announced they wi'l take part in the February tourna- ment. There is more interest displayed in billiards and pool in the city of St. Louls than any other place in the country, It is about the only city where one may see more than half the players in any hall playing three-cushions instead of

schools to book football games for next straight rail billiards. BLOOD FILLED WITH URIC ACID Rheumatism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood.

Protests against direct primaries in the Bleventh and Twelfth Congressional! .districts for the selection of delegates ‘to the Republican National Convention were filed ‘vith the Board of Election Commissioners Monday by the minority members of the district committees. The protest in the Twelfth District was signed by Committeemen Dyer, Eb- erhart and Brown. The Eleventh Dis- _ triet protest was signed by Committee- “men Land, Starwitz and Otto. A pro- test against a primary in the Tenffi Dis- _ trict will be filed as soon as the call ‘is issued. The objections are based upon the the- ory that primaries for the election of * delegates to a national convention are ‘illegal, both under the call of the na- } tional committee and the State laws of _ Missour! and that the committees have " arranged 80 that the majority factions _ will have the appointment of judges and ’ . clerks of election, thereby shutting the , minority out without representation in. the matter of selecting election officials. « Gorsed Taft for President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The Senate agreed today to postpone detailed dis- cussion of the financial question until a complete statement can be received from the Secretary of the Treasury in before the holidays. Before this result was reached there was some discussion of the financial situation, in which Sen- ator Tillman charged that the Treasury Department had refused bids for Pan- ama bonds which were at a much high- er figure than some of those accepted. Mr. Tillman agreed to allow his resolu- tion to be referred to the Committee on Finance.

TREASURY WILL “G0 BROKE” PAYING BONUSES Unless Scheduled Games Are Played Striking Students Will Be Taxed for Guarantees. The treasury of the Athletic Associa- tion of Washington University is threat- ened with depletion on account of the refusal ‘of the students to participate in any athletic events. The Advisory Board of the association has decided that it will have to pay out $400 in guarantees to visiting basket ball teams whether the games scheduled are played or not. The Advisory Board had’ pledged it- self to pay $150 to the Kansas University for two games, $100 to the Missouri Universiti, team for two games and $150 to Vanderbilt for one game. As these basket ball teams are on the road and could not play out their schedules without the money to be derived from the St. Louis games, the Advisory Board decided that the bonuses would have to be paid. The Advisory Board is composed of members of the faculty and managers of the departments of athletics. It gets the receipts from all atheltic events. There is said to be enough money in the treasury to pay the guarantees to the three visiting teams, but if the board takes such action on the baseball games some assessments may be levied on the striking students to pay the guarantees.

Philanthropist Defends His Found- ing of Technical Schools Against Criticism of Chicago. Man. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 13.—In a let- tet made public here today Andrew Car- negie replies to Richard P. Crane, the Chicago multi-millionaire, who, in a re- cent speech at the railroad men’s ban- quet in Chicago, said that Mr. Carnegie might have as well thrown int@ the lake $12,000,000 with which he built and endowed the Carnegie Technicul Schools in this city, for all the good that will come of them. In his letter to Mr. Crane ‘Mr. Carnegie says... “When I started in business I did not know of one technically educated me- echanic, but several families in Pitts- burg were sending their young men to Troy, and especially to Boston. One of them happened to be a relative, and he has made a great success and is a part- ner now in one of the leading firms for special steels. I do not believe that he would have achieved this so rapidly had it not been for his superior educa- tion.

-. _ All Issues Make Small Frac- tional Gains at the Opening.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 10 a. m.—The market opened this morning with gains in almost all issues. Except in two or three instances the advances were in- significant. The exceptions were Louis- ville & Nashville 2 points gain, Northern Pacific 1 point, Smelting 1 point and New York Central and American Sugar % of a point each. Northern Pacific Opened at 123%, but this was ex-dlivi- dend of 1% per cent. Coppers were fairly strong, with An- aconda in the lead. The steels were rather inactive and may be said to be at parity. St. Paul and Reading failed to show their activity of Saturday, but they opened a smal fraction higher. Trading in the first half hour of the session was narrow and prices kept clese to their opening quotations. Earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the first two weeks of this month are reported to be the small- est in the history of the company for any similar period, but this did not af- fect the stocks, as prices were about the same as Saturday. American securities in London were irregular at about parity. It would seem from the action of the market that the good bank statement Was generally anticipated and that its effer’ is already discounted. N& YORK, Jan. 13, 12:30 p. m.— Duritiy the early forenoon hours the tone of the market continued to im- prove and prices were generally ad- vanced. There fwas a sharp. buying movement in Atchison which sent its price up 1% points. Towards noon, however, the market began to weaken and the early gains were nearly all lost. Reading, which opened at 107%, went to 108% on ac- tive trading, but by noon it had re- ceded % below its opening. St. Paul, Great Northern and Louisville and Nashville held their early positions fairly well. New York Central, Pennsylvania, Northern Pacific and the Harriman stocks suffered small losses by noon. The industrials were also weak, Smelting and Amalgamated being es- pecially saggy. i Trading in many of the more promi- nent stocks was duller than usual. New York Stock Quotations.

Speculation in local wheat was again at low ebb Monday and the market ruled rather dull at sharply lower levels, the bulk of the decline being made at the start. The close was %c to le lower for the dav. The general storms, especially in the vi- cinity of Chicago, have very seriously im- paired the wire service. This defective com- munication with outside points not only contributed to the depression in the local future market, but also prevented the arrival of some important features, the visible supply statement, the primary movement and the seaboard clearances being delayed. World's shipments of wheat were 8,848,009 bu, against 7.936.000 bu last week and &8,- 672,000 bu a year ago. eat and flour on ocean passa amounts to %1.688,000 bu. agatnet 29,680.000 bu last week and 27,072,- 00 bu a year ago.

The distant options in all markets, how- ever, made sharp recoveries late in the day.

The cash y Bed for wheat was very low, and prices were weak. Local receipts of oo were 100,000 bu, and shipments 39,870 Receipts of corn, especially at Chicago, were much larger than expected, this being the chief influence in causing a slightly low- er opening.
