ARTIST-MOTHER KILLS 2 YOUNG SONS AND SEL wr Examination Leads Coroner te Believe Mrs. Jacobs Used Paint Mixture. HER MIND UNBALANCED Business Man’s Wife Had Been Under Care of Physicians Before Tragedy. Dr. ¥. W. Abeken, Coroner’s. phy- sician, reported to Deputy Coroner Lloyd Thursday afternoon that he had found hyd-ocyanic acid in the system ot Mrs.\Camille Jacobs, who killed herself and her sons—Sam, 18 months old, and Edwin, 7 years old---at her home, 4142 West Pine boulevard Wednesday after: noon. Ilis investigation showed that this poison was the same as that con- tained in the two preserving jars found in a closet. at tne home. After. receiving the reports from Dr Abeken, Deputy Coroner Lloyd said that apparently the poison was prepared hy diluting cyanide of potassium with water. 44 NOTED FOR HER PAINTING. Mrs. Jacob was an artist. She was noted for the excellence of her paint- ings on metal and porcelain. Cyanide of potassium is in common use among artist for cleaning metal and porce- lain plates on which they paint their pictures, It is suggested that, with her repu- tation as a painter, Mrs. Jacobs would have had no difficulty in obtaining the poisonous chemical which she made the medium of child murder and sul- cde. Dr. H. M. Whelplev, a noted St. Louis chemist, said Thuraday that cya- uide of potassium would have a. cor- rosive effect on the skin and that pure, prussic acid would not. Burns were found on the lips of Mrs. Ja- cobs. Death from this cause is quick and practically painless. That Mrs. Jacobs made the mixture recently for the purpose of using it to kill herself and her children is not be- lieved by members of her family. Her maid servant says that the jars of strange-smelling liquid have been in # closet for many months and that Mrs Jacobs frequently told her never to touch them. Takes Every Precaution. Before taking the lives of her chil- dren and committing suicide, Mrs. Ja- cobs took every precaution to insure privacy and prevent interference. She dismissed her negro maid servant for the day and locked all of the outer doors and fastened down the windows. What took place in the house after the servant departed can only be conjec- tured, No one remained alive to tell. After 9 a. m. Mrs. Jacobs and her boys were alone in the house. Physi- cians called by the police after the bod- ies were found said that the mother and her children had been! dead at least five hours. It was then 7 p. m. This would fix the time of the tragedy at 2p. m. and would indicate that, sup- posing that Mrs. Jacobs had a sinister purpose in dismissing her servant, she must have hesitated for at least five hours before carrying out her purpose to die and take her children with her. >. — —--—-- Mabelle, ‘Belle’? and Clinton Soctety Women in [riangu- lar Battle to Sup-\= press Records 9 “Bah's’ Gallantry; Old Trunk Vretds Photos of TwoM ore Women of Mystery.

For several months prior to last June she was in St. Luke's Hospital under the care of an alienist. Until two weeks ago she was constantly attended by nurses, but she seemed to have recov- ered at that time and her husband, Leo Jacobs, manager of the Acme Cement Plaster Co., started on a long-deferred Western trip. .

The letters are in the custody of the court, but have not yet been admitted by Judge Cochran in evidence. All Letters May Be Read. The lawyers for “Dick” Snell, the disinherited son who is seeking to break the will, consider the letters the most important link in their evidence as to the old man’s mental condition and the question of “undue influence.” The real purpose of the unexpected ad- journment, according to one of the law- yers, was. to see whether other letters besides Mabelle’s might not be intro- duced without revealing the identity of the writers. Judge Cochran did not pass at once on the motion for adjourn- ment. John L. Cheney, cashier of the First National Bank of Fort Dodge, fo., was on the stand for more than an hour identifying letters, which, he said. were in Mabelle’s handwriting. His testimony proceeded slowly on account of the re- peated objections of C. W. Webster, rep- resenting Mabelle, and the other law- yers defending the will. Cheney corre- sponded with Mabe.ie about a town lot in Fort Dedge, given to her by Col. Snell, which he solid for her fer $2000. The letters submitted to him varied in length from four pages to 3.

While i ee she was escorted to the place she had in tae her hands a copy of a statement made a Yesterday by Attorney Hamill, a pencil gee and a half finished manuscript she had been writing in reply. It read as fol- lows: — “To the Press—I want to make this ‘ptatement in reply to the false one is- sued by Mr. Hamill, and in view of the misrepresentations of my case in the newspapers.

PAROLE SYSTEM FING ABUSED SAGER ASSERTS Thinks

Circuit Attorney Judges Are Releasing Too Many Workhouse Prisoners.

LENIENCY IS INCREASING

One-Fourth of Those Com- mitted in 1907 Have Sen- tences Shortened. That the power of parole of prisoners in the City Workhouse is being abused by the judges of the city courts is the opinion of Circuit Attorney Sager, who has just completed an investigation of the workings of the parole law. ‘There are entirely too many Work- house paroles frem the Circuit Court,’ said he to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “T am in favor of the parole system, but it should be used with discretion. I am in favor of having a ‘parole docket’ in these courts, in which petitions for parole may be Considered In open court, with the aid of testimony. “Tl have been good-natured enough to permit certain judges who wanted to MANY WORKMEN, IDLE MONTH AGO, BACK AGAIN / a i Ad

cent of them are idle now. It is their first idle winter in three years. Of all the union organizations the one to feel the return of good times last is the musicians. President Miller of the Central Trades and Labor Union is him- self a musician.

“The condition of the Musicians Un- ion is the barometer of social and busi- ness conditions,’’ said Mr. Miller. ‘‘Mu- sic is in the same class with jewelry and automobiles. When times are bad and money scarce, there are fewer balls and parties. People do not go to the theaters. Then the musicians are out of work. We have not regun to feel the return of prosperity. , “Our organization was hit hard when the lid went on in St. Louis. We had 1000 men in the union then. There was big demand for our services, pafticular- ly Saturday nights and Sundays. The lid cut all this off. Now we have only 700 members. Those in the theaters have regular employments, but sceres of others are not making more than $30 a month.”’ The statistics of the Missouri Free Employment Bureau throw a startling light upon the labor situation.

The St. Louis Provident heme which is the largest ofganiZed charitv in the city, reports an increase of 74 per cent in calls for help in November and December, 1907, over the same months in 1906. There were 4448 apnpéa's in the last two months. Of tnese 35951 were met at once, 799 were held for in- vestigation and 618 were turned away.

- Relatives for Failure to a a i a Naval Commander Still Unforgiven by Many Secede--Mother Wrote His Resignation to President Lincoln.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. EAR ADMIRAL EVANS probably has more relatives in and near Washington than any other offi- cer in the navy, and therefore the prog- ress of the fleet under his command is watched here with special interest. Many of these relatives have never forgiven him entirely for remaining in the navy when his only brother, Sam, and his uncles and practically every other male able to shoulder a gun in the neigh- borhood of Fairfax, Va., his home town, went with the South. So angry was his mother that when she heard of the death of one of her brothers by a Union bullet she wrote out a resignation for Robley and mailed to President Lincoln. In due time he received notice that it had been ac- cepted, and he was immediately relleved from duty. He hastened to Washington to see what it all meant. Here he was shown the resignation. Recognizing the handwriting, he choked up for a moment and then told how it happened. One of his relatives told of the inci- dent today and said that when the war was over he returned, a cripple, to his home in Fairfax. Few of the natives deigned to recognize him, but his moth- er met him with open arms and tears of joy. That evening she decreed that the brothers who had fought on oppo- site sides should sleep together. On going to their room “Bob” took from we'll pass up the war.”’ “That's a go,"’ replied *“Fighting’’ Bob. And they did. - report of the Committee on the Revision of the laws was placed before the House, a week ago, there was a wrangle yesterday between many members all trying to talk at once. The chairman rapped for order and up jumped Kusterman of Wisconsin. ‘It was his maiden effort. ‘Mr. Chairman,” he fairly the finest Swedish dialect heard in these parts in many a day, “it seems to me that the trouble is there are too many lawyers on the floor of this house. If they can’t proceed faster they ought to keep quiet and give the merchant and farmer members a chance to enact laws for the courts to declare uncon- stitutional.’’ EPRESENTATIVE WEBB of R North Carolina introduced an amendment yesterday to _ that section ‘*moonsine”’ of the penal code governing whisky, and in speaking in favor of it he toid of a man in the mountains of North Carolina who had been arrested while driving, along a lone country road and all the revenue officers found was an empty jug. “And yet, Mr. Chairman,” he said, “that man was thrown into Jail and required to put up a heavy bond to re- plevin his horse and wagon.

Jt is declared that Mr. Roosevelt's sregard of Wall street arbd the effect + the administration's antfcorporation sade underwent a complete change, d he directed Secretary Cortelyou to ‘hatist the powers of the Treasury De- r partment to restore matters to a normal level. The series of historic conferences between ‘Mr. Cortelyou, J. P. Morgan and other New York financiers and the decision to deposit every available dol- lar’ of the.-Government’s money in the natidnal« banks and to issue Panama Canal sonds and short-term Treasury certificates followed. ‘tt was declared yesterday that Presi- ent Roosevelt is anxious as ever about Knickerbocker Trust Co. Those who havejan intimate personal acquaintance with him sa¥ “he is extremely frugal in personal money matters, and that the ultimate fate of the $65,610 is causing him the keenest anxiety. Some of the dical measures adopted by Secretary elyeu at the height of the panic, Bich have since provoked criticism, dictated by the President, it is and were reluctantly put into op- tion by Mr. Cortelyou, who doubted their wisdom and legality. It is now said that President Roose- velt wishes Mr. Cortelyou to accept the offer of the presidency of the Knicker- ocker, believing that he will be able © bring the $8,000,000 of unassented de- posits into the reorganization plan.: Un- ess these depositors agree to the reor- ‘ganization scheme, and the trust cofn- pany goes into a permanent receiver- whip, the expense of winding up its af- fairs will be about $6,000,000—a oss which will fall almost. wholly upon de- positors. This would amount to a tax ef about 15 per cent and would reduce Ge $55,610 account by $8340. # Goenferred With Morgan. The President, it is caid, summoned to Washington, about two weeks ago, Mr. Morgan, who owns 600 shares of Knickerbocker Trust stock, and talked over the Knickerbocker situation with him at length. As a result of the con- ference, it is,said the offer of the presi- dency of the Knickerbocker was made to Mr. Cortelyou, not by Mr. Morgan, but by representatives of the depositors’ committee and the three trustees, H.

~ PANAMA CANAL b doietary Appeae Before . Committee With Informa- tion and Suggestions. » .. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16,—Secretary “Taft@appeared before the Senate Com- mittee on Interoceanic Canals today and gave information conc erning the project And suggestions for legislation. © He reviewed the conu:tioné at the canal Bite and quoted information he had re- ®eived from various officials connected _“Wwith the werk. He expressed the opinion that the Panama Canal should be com- ieted within six years from next July, ‘and that its ultimate Gost would be ap- proximately $300,000,000, including the pure habe price. * » ahe proposed widening of the loc 12 was carefully explained by Secretary ‘Taft. Hie asserted that with the locks idened to 110 feet a steamer of 108-foot ‘am could easily pass through. The rgest ship this Government is planning build will have a beam of but 95 feet. Whe increased cost of the locks, Mr. aft estimated, would be about $5,000,000. Bf Points Out Difficulties. In his talkgto the committee he at arious points brought out the difficul- = that beset the commission in the administration. These range all the way from trouble with the Pacific Mail steamship line because of its failure to Tturnish enough steamers, to labor dif- ficulties. He aiso spoke of the complaints by the Panamians that there is a bad odor to ‘the water that is served to them through ae new works at xanamd, as one of the smatier annoying features of the work. In the matter of steamship transporta- tion, facilfies on the Pacific Coast, the secretary said that owing to their in- adequacy the business of the railroad had fallen off one- half since the Gov- ernment took possession and it was a “ question in his mind whether the Gov- ernment should not engage in the steam- ship business on the Pacific in order to retain the Panama route now existing ~ and keep the isthmian business from go- ing by way of Tehauntepec or some Other route. “It may be a question,” said the Sec- retary, “of saving the income for our steamers on the east coast by running considerable risk on the west.’’ _ Would Not Cut Wages. Secretary Taft urged that there be “no reduction in the wages paid to skilled. laborers in spite of the fact that, ac- -cording to his estimate, they were re- celving in cash and privileges from fifty to sixty per eent higher,,iucome than they could earn in the United States. - Byven with skilled labor wages at the _ present standard, he’#aid, there recently ‘was a strike upon the refusal of the ‘‘comamission to increase the wages. it Senator Flint put a number of ques- ' tions to the Secretary as to land contro- ‘ } -Versies on the isthmus, the cost of sani- ‘tation and the advisability of. the Gov- ernment running the Tivoli Hotel. | In connection with the last named + project the Secretary thought it quite “necessary for the Government to ope- rate the hotel. He said with a ‘smile that its bar had been removed and ' that there ought“to be no further com- -plaint from the native business people, at least in respect to that trade. The secretary said that the water : peste charged at Panama will in 650 “years pay all cost of providing the aterworks, the improvement of streets “a the construction of the sewerage Bystem.

Objects to Questions of Deals, The question to which Mr. Harriman ol.jected related to the purchase of the stock of other railroads in the interest of the Union Racific and to the Union Pacific dividends. In regard to the $2,- 0 000 of Illinois Central, purchased at $i75 a share, the questions which Mr. Harriman declined to answer are as follows: “Were the self, Mr. Rogers and Mr, pooled?” “Was the stock acquired for the pur- pose of selling it to the Union Pacifi¢?”’ “Was the stock purchased by yeu at a much lower price than $175, with the intention of turning it over to the Union Pacific?’ ‘Did you have any interest in the 16,- du! shares sold at the time by Kuhn, Ieeb & Co. to the Union Pacific?’ “Were the 105,000 shares acquired by the same pool for the purpose of selling them to the Union Paeifie?’’ Silent as to Dividends. On the subject of the Union’ Pacific dividend which was advanced from, a trate of 6 to 10 per cent per annum on Aug. 15, 1906, with a consequent rise in the price of the stock, Mr. Harriman is sustained for having declined te an- swer the following: “Were you directly or indirectly in- terested in any stocks that were bought be:ween the 19th of July and the lith of August that appreciated?’’ “Did you or any director of the Union Fucific or the Southern Pacific hold stocks in anticipation of that dividend.”’ The questions which Mr. Kuhn re- fused to answer had to do with the con- nection of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. with the in the Chicago & A:ton and the Illinois Central and what proportion of the stock s0 purchased was held for the directors of the Union Pacific. WORKMAN TURKS SWITCH TO QUIT: FLECTROCUTED Hand Hits Metal Part of Machine Instead of Wood. 40,000 shares sold by your- Stillman

J. A. Hargroder, operator of a “gang drill” at the American Car Co.’s steel plant, at the foot of St. George street, was electrocuted at 6:30 Thursday morn- ing. He worked on the “night shift’’ and was killed as he was about to quit. In trying to turn off the electric current that operated his machine, he placed his hand on the metal-portion of the ap- paratus, instead of the wooden part. Pulled From Machine. Fellow-workmen say 440 volts of elec} tricity shot through his body and held } it against the machine. Chief Nelson of the night crew pulled Hargroder’s body away from the machine and Matt Gray, another workman, carried it out- side the building. Hargroder was then still breathing, but died before reaching the City Hos- pital in an ambulance. He was 33 years old and had been at the plant only three days, going there from Madisoa, Ill, It is believed his home is in Louisi- ana. He boarded at Michael Schweig- ler’s hotel, Levee and St. George street. GAME LAW VIOLATOR HELD FOR MURDER AND ROBBERY Young Farmer Confesses Part in Killing Peddler and Impli- cates Prisoner.

COUNT BON! AND PRINCE * GAN HAVE SECOND SPIT and sn BATTLE ON PARIS STREET Noblemen Meet in Front of Anna Gould’s House and Fight as Urchins Cheer. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—-A news cable- gram from Paris says Count Boni de Castellane and his cousin, Prince Helle de Sagan, had a second rare and rich spitting duel last Saturday night in front of Mme. Gould’s home.

Aceording to this cable, Count Boni spent last Saturday afternoon in watch- ing the Gould mansion in the Avenue Malakoff, aware that Prince Helie was passing the day there. When His High- Mess issued the Count strode angrily forward toward him from his five-hour hiding place in the dark hallway across the avenue. They met in the fniddle of the street. “You'll insult me again, will you?” hissed Prince Helie. “Yes, and more,” cried boni, .who raised his cane and brought it down upon ‘the tall hat of his adversary. At the same moment he spat in Prince He- lie’s face. For the next five minutes a crowd of 200 swarming street urchins were treat- ed to a well-maatched duel of walking sticks. When a diminutive policeman interfered the warring noblemen fought on above his head, varying the spectacle o¢easionally by spitting at each other like angry cats: They were finally sep- ed. NURSE GIRLS’ UNION MADE TO PROMISE TO BE GOOD AND NOT CALL ANY NAMES Employer on Blacklist Tells Court “Walking Delegate” Told Him to Get a Cow. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The Nursegiris’ Union got into court today, charged with combination in restraint of the proper care of babies. Magistrate Herr- man heard the case, ands the infant daughter of Ferdinand H. Cook, 249 West “End avenue, a real estate bro- ker, was presented as,a victim of crim- inal discrimination. West End avenue is a congested center of baby-carriage traffic. It is one of the wealthiest sections of the city, and has more private houses to the block than any other part of New York. Commissioner Bingham forbade nursegiris to travel two abreast. Mr. Cook complained to Commissioner Bingham and the complaint had effect. Five nursegirls in the employ of West End families were summoned to court. The magistrate asked Mr. Cook to state rievances. me Ani began Mr. Cook, “when I start to work the five barricade the sidewalk with their baby carriages, so I have to go around the block. The walking delegate of the Nursegirls’ Union put me on the unfair list and called out my nursegirl. I don’t know what to do. They told me I needed a cow for my famfly.” Magistrate Herrman delivered a lec- ture on the rules of the road as applied to baby carriages and the respect due a man who is the father of a large family. He cautioned the nursegirls that further looseness of tongue would

bring them to prison. They filed. out,- promising to be good. Mr. Cook is a trustee of the New York College of Dentistrv.

Five Thousand Persons Cheer Highest-Priced Voice New York Ever Heard. OVERCOME BY TRIUMPH Maude Adams Also Scores,| Though Her Play Is De- clared Very Weak. ie —-|

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.--Five thousand opera patrons paid nearly $138,000 to be present last night to hear Tetrazzin! make her American debut in ‘“‘La Travi- ata.’ Their v°rdict was that she not omy fulfilled all that had been said of her by European critics, but had ex- ceeded the hopes of her admirers in New York. Many who entered Oscar Hammer- stein’'s opera house loyal in their fealty to Patti and Jenny Lind declared after listening to the Tetrazzini that she ex- celled the peerless songbirds of other days. When the doors were closed for lack of space the audience was massed from the ‘‘A’’ row to the back ‘walis of the foyers. It was a triumph for the Tet- razzini. And .how did she take it! New York was kindly disposed toward her from the first. She appeared early in the first act, a fair-haired woman, slightly inclined to stoutness, but with a well-set-up figure. She was attire in a modern gown and a smile of con- fidence was on her face. There was “ faint sound of handclapping, a few sti- fled “‘Ohs”’ and then silence. The diva advanced rapidly toward the foottlights, inclining her head slightly. She evident- ly read aright that the faint applause which greeted her entree wag not intend ed as a measure of the audiegce’s wel- come. The ‘house awaited opportunity to know what degree of welcome should honestly be given. Happy as a Child Tetrazzini began ,with artistic re- straint. Tenderly and with irMesistible appeal the notes increased in volume. Here and there in the audience sounded applause. Sharp protests against in- terruption silenced it. At the close of the first act the house announced from pit to gallery that it was won. Up went the curtain and as Tetrazzini appeared a bouquet of violets' was thrown to her from one of the boxes. The diva did not see it, at least she made no sign of rec- ognition. She seemingly was testing the. sincerity of her welcome. She stood in the center of the stage and bowed to right and left. Instantly, women stripped violets and orchids from their corsages and tossed the blooms enthusiastically over the footlights. The shouts of favor were redoubled. There was no mistak- ing their import. *, Tetrazzini brought Poth hands to her lips and tossed kisses to the parquet, flung them toward the boxes and raised her eyes toward the galleries. Those occupying seats nearest the stage heard Ther rippling laughter. She was happy as a child. She caught up the flowers which lay around her. She snatched her handkerchief from her bodice and waved a response which would have done credit to a Chautauqua miss. EQUAL OF ONE OF HER NOTES NEVER HEARD BY DE KOVEN BY REGINALD DE KOVEN. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The first thing that strikes out about Tetrazzini’s voice is its freshness and vitality. How old she is I do not know’ or care, for she possesses the yeuth and enthusiasm of the great art which she shows in the use of her great natural gifts. How shall one describe or picture a voice! And yet I may say of hers that it has the crystalline quality of Melba’s, with an added warmth and color, which gives to it more of emotional expres- sion. It is in this power of varied and appropriate vocai color in her singing that Tetrazzini's distinctive qualities as an artist most appear. She does, Inaeed, “convey the dram- atic feeling of scenes, situations and emotions by her intonation or the way she turns a phrase. She sings wholly naturally and without effort; her voice is under perfect control to do what she pleases with; her mezzo voice is de- lightful and her fioriture runs, trills and the like as facile and unconstrained as if she were a urd. Some notes in the lower medium register were, as was told, somewhat dull and lusteriess, but her high notes are marvelous in power, sweetness and intensity of force. The final E flat at the curtain of the first act was held with amazing facil- ity. I have never heard its like. A wonderful “Patti.’’ An Excellent Actress. As an actress, Tetrazzini is excellent. Her entire naturalness of action, ges- ture and appropriate by-play strikes one at once. She certainly, as she told me, forgets herself, her audiences and everything but her voice in her im- personation, and succeeds in convey- ing to her audiences most convincingly her conception ‘of the character she portrays. In this respect she greatly excels any one of her predecessors in the role that I have seen. When the curtain fell the unusual enthusiasm of the audience told the story of her success. Again and again was she called before the curtain, while flowers and ‘“‘bravos’’ were thrown at her from the house and boxes. MAUDE ADAMS SCORES AGAIN,

You simply could not escape it, your sensibilities responded to every cadence of her voice. , It is the presence of Miss Adams in the délicate wed of romantic fancy which Miguel Zarnacois has spun in ‘“‘The Jes- ters’’ that will lend her new play its chief attraction for, though it has been acted in Paris by Sarah Bernhardt and is now translated into excellent metrica) English by John Raphael, it proved at its fjrst representation here to lack any very decided invention or dramatic force.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Mrs. Robert Fox of New Rochelle is at the point of death after meeting a girl. poisoner in a Broadway theater box turday aft- ernoon. The poison was given to Mrs. Fox in candy ‘which ‘the new acquaintance of- fered her. Mrs. Fox became ill with- in a few minutes. The poisoner assist- ed Mrs. Fox from the box and appar- ently was solicitous for her welfare. A few minutes later she disappeared with Mrs. Fox's silver me8hebag, containing 370, a pair of pearl earrings, several pins and other small pieces of jewelry and 4 valuable bracelet. Mects Girl at Theater. Mrs. Fox is the wife of a New York fur buver. When she entered her thea- ter box a young girl was sitting there, handsomely dressed and giving every outwurd evidence of refinement. After a few minutes the two women, who were alone in the box, entered into conversation. The young woman ex- pressed ner admiration for a valuable bracelet which Mrs. Fox wads wedging, afd asked to be ‘allowed to éxau'ine it. “Mrs. Fox handed it to her new ac- quaintance. The girl took it and at the same time passed Mrs. Fox a box of candy.’ Mrs. Fox took two or.three pieces and ate thenry Her seizure and the robbery followed almost instantly.

ON THE ROAD TO SIBERIA. In the United States, where a beneficent sys- tem of local self-government was long ag0 ©8- tablished, the complaint is that home rule means no rule, and relief is sought at the seat of Federal power. In Russia, where there is a well-developed sys- tem of self-government in the villages, the com- plaint is that the central authority invades the rights of the people and sets at.naught buman- ity and justice in the enforcement of its de- crees. In America the rapidly augmentity the nation is everywhere either defended or ig- nored. Such as do not wholly approve of it have nothing to say. The centralizing tendency is supported by men who would wipe out the states and it finds favor also with men who pretend to uphold the states. There is vigor and there is aggression at Washington. There is inertia and there is indifference in the states. In the great empire of the Old World the ravening power of the throne and the bureau- cracy is resisted by men who value such liber- ties as they enjoy and who, left to themselves, would perform all-their public duties most zeal- ously. The democrats of Russia are not op- presged because they have neglected to employ every measure of freedom that they possess. They are dragoonéd because they have insisted upon this very thing in the teeth of the agents of the Czar at St. Petersburg. _ oe On the tragic road to Siberia, traversed daily by hundreds and sometimes by thousands of wretch- ed exiles; cruelties unspeakable are practiced in the,name of a power that is remote and almost inaccessible to most Russians. Beaten withthe knout, ithe clubbed rifle, the revolver and the fist; frungry, half frozen and in rags; with no protec- tion of law and with no appeal, these self-gov- erning Russians go painfully to their years of convict labor for deeds which in other lands are made the themes of patriotfe gong and story. ~~ ower of Are we throwing away as—valueless rights and privileges which the Russians have striven for in vain? Are we holding lightly or perhaps in contempt constitutional guaranties which by sufferings indescribable and by deaths that come in most cases as a blessed relief Russians are ' struggling to obtain? This is not Russia, and it is not likely to be, but we may observe in that unhappy land at its worst the wystem that our forefathers out- grew and safeguarded us against. There is no barbaric outrage in Muscovy today that is not inherent in irresponsible and centralized power. There is no better or surer way to prevent even pan approach to such conditions than to pre- serve in all their vitality every right of self- government and-home rule that we now enjoy. Every argument favoring the assumption at Washington ‘of the responsibilities belonging te the people themselves is based either upon false- hood or upon sheer insolence. There are always men at hand even in a republic who will govern a people who refuse to govern themselves. We shall find our upstart monarchs at Washington +if we make way for them as gurely as the Rus- sians find their pale-faced Czars and cut-throat. Grand Dukes at St. Petersburg. ‘There was a time in this country when the enforcement of laudable national laws by Federal agencies in self-governing communities inflamed the people to the point of violence.. Local aym- pathy was generally with those who were accused, and the strange officers from a distance were re- garded with an aversion that was full of hate and menace. | Now we are not quite sure that a law is a law until it bears the Washington hall mark and we are almost certain that nothing effective can be accomplished unless the authority invoked is We are geverning: ourselves less and less and we are looking to strangers for government more and more. The best and practically the only assurance that we have of the perpetuity of republican freedom. lies in the jealous preservation of home rule in the states. With that secure every desir- able thing is possible at Washington. With that taken away or feebly surrendered every conceivable evil at Washington is possible. RATS.

Me, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch,, There is alcohol enough in the garbage of St. Louis to light the entire city, including treets, dwellings and business places. There being 125 tons of gar- bage taken from the streets daily (at a large ex- pense) during the summer season and as as each ton will produce about forty gallons of alcohol, making a total of about 5000 gallons per day. The alcohol could be used for heating purposes and automobi'e power, as well as for lighting purposes. In this way the garbage would be a revenue producer to the city instead of a large: expense to ihe public. A CITIZEN.

Demagogues. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I cannot let the opportunity pass of compliment- ing you on the spirit and tone of the principal editori- al in your issue ef today, “Two Men and Two Speeches.’’ It matters not whether we are Demo- erats or Republicans, but it does matter that we be Americans. Demagogues should be repudiated irre- spective of party. I am a Republican, but always give ear to all public men and parties, until I be- come convinced that they are demagogues or frauds; then that endsit.

A Deceived Immigrant. fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am writing these few lines in regard to misrep- resentations of the press concerning this country. I am a Russian. While in my native country I had ac- cess to American newspapers. I could hardly read one of these without finding that crops are spoiling for want of labor, works closed on account of scarcity of labor, jobs going begging -nd so on. This was last October, 1907. I could not resist this. So 1 packed my bag and and baggage and sailed. Upou my arrival at New York City I did not find crops spoiling for want-of labor; I did not see factories idle on account of scareity of labor; I dia not find jobs begging. No, indeed. Instead, I found men beg- ging for jobs. I also was told that the crops did not spoil for want of laborers. Why this falsity? Why these lies? Why not put things forth as they exist? I have found other corditions which are ex- actly the reverse from what is published, but space will not allow any comments. INO. BOLASKI. \

wu The Temperance Wave. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There seems to be quite a movement at the pres- ent time all over the country among temperance so- cleties to do away with all liquor business and the general impression prevails that. such .socleties are composed of religious-minded people. The Scrip- ture clearly teaches: ‘‘Let no man judge you in meat or drink.”’. Yet they ignore the Bible and judge people for what they drink. Because one person has a disgust for limburger cheese and sauerkraut, would it be right, therefore, to prohibit the manufacture ‘and. sale of such edibles? Some men enjoy their giass of beer, others prefer a kaffee klatsch or 6 o’clock tea. There is more poison in coffee and tea than in beer and it would be more consistent to pro- hibit the sale of such teverages than to deprive an- other class of people: of their beer. Because one man is that sufficient cause to deprive 99 others from using it moderately? Why, it would be just as sane to argue that because so many people are killed and injured on railroads, the only solu- tion would be to do away entirely with all rail- roads. Oo. H.

7 Browns’ New Third Saeker Holds His League's Record for Last Season— Tim Jordan at Least Equals It on National's Behalf.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY N Hobe Ferris the St. Louis Browns will receive the champion distance slugger of the American League for the season of 1907. Hobe, who played last year with the Boston Club, and who has now signed a contract to bat them out for the Browns in 1908, is credited with the longest hit of the league the past season. The notable swat was made on the New York grounds on the att- ernoon of Labor Day, Sept. 2, and New York critics declare it was the hardest-hit ball ever made in the Highlanders’ yard, and so far no one has disputed its being the longest drive of the American League hitters last year. Tt was one of those long lifts to left field and cleared the fence and score board and dropped down in the street outside the grounds, possibly to roll down into the Hudson. ‘There were 1 many long drives in the league and sev- ’ eral that won games, but to Hobe is yen the palm for lining one out for greatest distance of them all. ’ Al Orth was pitching for New York / that day and, it being a holiday, a big - erowd was out. The Boston club had the game won easily, the final score being 12 to 1. Ferris’ great home run drive came in the third inning and ored three runs. ERRIS has always been one of those long hitters and the St. J Louis fans may have a chance. _, to be proud of him for some of the fa-., mous drives he is likely to execute next “summer in helping to elevate. the rowns. He is a powerful player and has as keen a batting eye and is as “Well informed on the tricks of all the Pvhe te as any man in the League. one over the same fence the previous day, but his was forgotten when the fans gazed upon Jordan’s swat. Y COBB, the youthful slugger of T the Detroit team, who led the American League in batting last year, made the most sensational home run of the season. It was in that memorable 17-inning game between De- troit and Philadelphia on the last day of September, and it was Cobb’s boost over the right-field fence in the. ninth inning that tied up the score, and, as many believe, won the pennant for De- troit. The right field on the Athletics grounds is short, but.there is a high screen on top to knock many of the drives down to two or three baggers. But Cobb’s hit cleared the fence and drove Sam Crawford home ahead of po eng two runs tying the count at to 9. Crawford lammed out a homer in Chicago against the White Sox that was the longest on the Chicago grounds and won the game for Detroit. His was a slam over Eddie Hahn’s head clear into the right-field bleachers. Hahn made a start with the crack of the bat and then stopped, as he knew it was no use to go after that one. DDIE KARGER, the popular pitch- F er on the Cardinal team, sur prised all New York on July 8 and won a game against the Giants by a line drive into the left-field bleach- ers for a home run. New York critics have declared it the longest hit made on the Polo Grounds last season. That day Karger shut out the heavy-hitting Giants, 2 to 0. The New Yorks Americans were bumped out of a victory over the Browns in this city on July 20 by a timely swat by George Stone.

ILLINOIS FIVE IN HARD HOME GAME Basket Ball Team Plays Wisconsin Saturday; Swimmers Also at Work. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHAMPAIGN, Ifl., Jan.

16.—The Illinois is working hard for the con- test with Wisconsin in the Illinois gymnasium Saturday night. The home schedule has been completed and is as follows: Wisconsin—Jan. 18. Indiana—Jan. 25. Chicago—Feb, 8, Purdue—Feb. 24. Minnesota—March 13. _. The squad for water sports was never larger nor more enthusiastic than at present and it is confidently expected that Chicago will be badly beaten in the meet next February. The new rule which places water sports on the list of minor athletics makes available several crackerjack freshmen swim- mers, including Quayle, the young swim- mer who won several important events for the Chicago athletic Association in the Chicago Y. M. C. A. meet during the holidays. REGAN IN DRAW WITH LYNCH St. Louis Boxer Goes Ten Fast Rounds at New Orleans. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.—Johnny Regan of St. Louis and John Lynch of Boston fought a fast 10-round draw in the feature event on the boxing card at the midwinter show of the Young Men’s Gymnastic Club in this city last night. Regan had the better of the bout on points, but the decision pléased the crowd. Tommy Devlin knocked out Ralph Kelley in the sixth round of a 10-round fight. James Lewis and Young Terry fought six rounds to a draw.

- ASSOCIATION

Dissatisfaction Shown by a ‘Few Teams May Lead to , MARTIN MALEY MAK AS A TAMER OF CHAMPIONS Split of Organization. oie ES BOW

“Tamer of Champions” and the “hig re- Efforts are being made by a few South Side bowlers to cause a split in the St. Louis Tenpin Association. Last Saturday night the South Siders started some leud talking when they failed to finish inside the money. In- stead of going to the handicap or ex- ecutive committee of the association, they singled out Al “Pudgy” Bell of the De Soto No. 1 team as the man to whom they poured their tale of woe. Bell toJd them at the time to make their protest to the Executive Com- mittee of the St. Louis Tenpin Asso- ciation and it would be taken up and given fair judgment. They preferred to talk instead and are now spreading reports of how they will “bust” the City Tenpin Association tournament next year. ‘i It is thought there is nothing to the talk. If the South Side Clubs that are objecting should settle down to busi- ness they might at the most keep 10 clubs out of next year’s tournament. This is a generous estimate made by fair-minded bowling men. With 116 five-men teams in this year’s tourna- ment, which was a great success, and the great boom being enjoyed by the game, it seems that at least twenty more five-méen teams will enter next year than this. The handicaps proved a success, But one protest has been filed and that against the Bunch No. 2 team. The five was allotted 95 pins handicap per game on their average for the season furnished to the Handicapping Committee. The Handicapping Com- mittee has the power to pass on the averages submitted. But in nearly every case the handicaps were allotted on the figures turnished. The league teams must furnish averages from the secretary of their league. The av- erages of the bowlers on the social clubs were left to their own honora- ble judgment. The Bunch No. 2 team did remarka- bly well tor a team with such a big handicap. The team secured 2785 pins the third best mark of the tourna- ment. The Bunch No. 2 team’s aver- ages will be corsidered by the Handi- capping Committee again at a meet- ing to he hejd Friday. If the Com- mittee has any doubt as to their cor- rectness the Bunch No. 2 team will be disquaiified. The prize list -for the five-men- com- petition has been announced. The De Soto teams did remarkably well. That stick” are ths titles now applied spectively to Martin Maley and his billiard cue by local enthusiasts, as tne result of a meeting between Maley and Harry Cline, three-cushion champion of the world, Tuesday afternoon, at the Pine Billiard Academy. Cline attempted to give Maley ne point in five, and the latter won-ll con- secutive games and Cline slamnied down his cue, threw up his hands and quit, and Maley almost fainted with oy. ; Maley is a former local amateur pool player. He was aiso employed at lo- cal academies as referee and book- keeper. He was far from a _ shining light either as an amateur pool player or referee. During the recent three- cushion championship billiard tourna- ment Maley acted as scorekeepcr. watched all the stars perform and criticised their work. “I’m going to get me a cue and beat those fellows myself; watch if I don’t,’ said Maley toward the end of the tour- nament. Maley admits that during the past vear he has played a bit at three-cush- ions when the professionals were not using the academy table. Maley is quiet, thrifty, tall and thin individual, and with his curly black hair and al- ways immaculate white vest he looks more like a representative of the _ lton- sorial profession than a _ star billiard tlaver. Nevertheless Maley -can play billiards. When he bought his cue Ma- ley selected a stick that was nicely painted, but looked more like a clothes pole than a billiara stick. Maley was going to play three cushions. A heavy clothes pole would not be a bad in- strument to use to knock off some around-the-table three-cushion shots. About the time Maley purchased his stick a newcomer, Dupree, a profes- sional billiardist, landed in St. Louis from Chicago. Maley has been clamor- ing to get into the academy games and the management picked Dupree as his opponent. Afternoon and evening Maley, greatly to the surprise of all, played sensational three cushions. Du- pree tried and tried hard, and still plays against Maley every afiernoon and evening, but to get wagers on the Chi-

cagoan Maley has to give him one point Oa the first shot and a few other odds, It became so hard to get money on Dupree that the management decided to Sive to the aspiring Maley a citrus. Harry Cline, three-cushion champion, was sent out to “get’’ Maley on Tues- day. Just to let Maley down hard so that the crack could be heard o::tside, he was presented with one point in five and the opening shot. Maley ran four from the spot and the game was his. I‘our more times he repeated, giving him five games without Cline even get- ting a chance to shoot. This grew tire- some, so Cline was given a chance at the opening shot. Maley won six more games when Cline, as before related, chucked his cue into a corner and told the man- agement to send for arother “tamer,” as he could not do the job. Cline after the match declared that nobody ever played better billiards than Maley. Cline was in good form, but he simply had no chance against the local man. ‘“‘Tamer of Champions’’ was the proud title bestowed on the smiling Martin when he appeared for work Wednesday and Dupree was sent against him. Maley won five straight: games when he decided that he ought to pull Dupree on a bit and conse- quently let him win a game or two. Maley is now a big favorite and his future as a three-cushion expert will be watched with interest. Meanwhile Cline is watching for an opportunity to capture Maley’s “big stick,” in which event he thinks he Would have a pos- sible chance to beat him in a. return match, JACK GOODMAN IN LIVELY BOUT New Yorker OQOutclasses Rouse O’Brien in Six-Round Fight. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Jack Goodman of this city outfought, outboxed, out- punched and did everything but out- gamed Rouse O’Brien of Boston in their six-round fight at the Sharkey Athletic Club last night. Goodman was by far the better boxer ind the more accurate hitter of the two, and after the first round O’Brien was completely out- classed.

} Bill’ “WILD BILL” NEEDS BAT TO REFEREE Terry McGovern Wallops Detroit Pitcher Who Acts as Official in Sparring Match.

Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 16.—‘‘Wild Bill’’ Donovan, star pitcher of the De- troit Tigers and of the American League in 1907, got half a thrashing from Terry McGovern, once lightweight champion of the world, Wednesday aft- ernoon., McGovern and Young Corbett are giv- ing sparring matches in a theater here this week. Donovan consented to make an honest dollar or two acting as ref- eree. In the third round the boxers came to a clinch and Donovan took the customary means to make them break. This seemed to anger Terry, who turned upon the baseball siar with a flash of his old-time form and landed a coupic of lightning punches. one on Dono- van’s stomach and the other , jaw. onovan, being utterly unpre- pared, could neither dodge nor protect himself and was almost knocked out. By the time Donovan recovered his wits McGovern was apologizing, but Donovan could not see the joke. “‘Wild will not referee any more bouts

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—If you’re a society ‘climber’ and expect to get to the top, you might as well cease culti- vating the descendants of the Mayflow- ers passenger list. Instead, you should hit the trail westward and strike up an acquaintance with the race the original Four Hundred found when they landed. Charies A. Bates, an official of the In- dian Bureau, says so. “We will soon see the day when the pure-blood Indians are the most aristo- cratic element in the country,’’ Mr. Bates warns us... “The red race is in- creasing faster than is the Plymouth Rock stock. They are learning faster, too. Their pale-face society sisters still paint their faces; the Indian wom@n don’t. They're more civilized.’’ So, if Philadelphia is sleeping as soundly as she is supposed to be, she snored pretty toudiy when she gave that Indian. war dance at a recent society ball. Unless the condition which is alarming A. Bates abates, items like the following may be found in the society columns: ‘Mrs. Stuyvertnt Whoere-the-Cnicken-got- the-Ax, who, it will be remembered, narrow- ly escaped a serious illness by not venturing out in the recent snowstorm, will give a pow-wow at her handsome tepee in West Apache street tomorrow evening. She leaves the next day for an extended visit with her husband’ s near-uncle, Geronimo, “Miss Gladys Certatn!y-ls-a-Peach, the popular debutante, has been forced to cancel the invitations for the sun dance she was She is confined to have given this evening.

Capt. O'Malley of the Carr Street District is investigating the case. Timlin fell unconscious in a North Sixth street saloon. Patrolman George Loucks took him to the Morgue in an ambulance. Timlin appeared to be iife- less, and even the Morgue keeper was ignorant of the fact that he was still alive until after he had undressed Tim- lir when the latter sat up and looked about him. Timlin was then hurriedly removed to the City Dispensary, but died on the way, and after being offi- cially pronounced dead was returned to the Morgue. The manual requires that policemen in such cases should take the victim to the Dispensary, even if a physician has already pronounced the man dead.

VANDERBILT WEDDING TO BE =. RICHEST COSTUMED EVENT Gowns of Attendants of Miss Gla- dys to Be of Pure White, Meh in Uniforms. NeW YORK, Jan. 16.—Miss Gladys Vanderbilt is eagerly awaiting the ar- rival from Paris of her wedding gown, which, according to reports, is to be one of the richest ever seen in New York. The costumes of the attendants of the bride to be, except for cream colored lace trimmings, together with the red, blue and gold uni- forms of the attendants of Count Szechenyi, will make the event a cos- tumed affair unprecedented here. While the gowns of the women and even the dress to be worn by little Miss Flora Whitney, who is to be the flower girl, are made simply, they are rich in design and texture. They are of the modified empire fashion. The wedding is causing so much com- ment that great crowds are seen daily in front of the Vanderbilt home, 1 West Fifty-seventh street. Even the children gather on the sidewalk in front of .the house for their frolics. Atiend High Schools.

relatives of Monday night's theater fire, }» when one-fifth of Boyertown's popula- tion was wiped out, Coroner Strausser is today facing a critical situation. In a half n instances charred bodies of victims of the fire have been claimed by two or more peusons. In an effort to prevent complications Coroner Strausser last night gave orders that no bodies should be taken from the temporary morgue without his permission. A grief-stricken people, with nerves wrought to the highest tension, revolted, and serious trouble was threatened unti! Burgess Kohler effected a compromise which permitted that bodies that have been identified positively by a single family be tuken away. With the list of dead now numbering 173 bedies, not including a sack of charred bones and skulls beyond al! hope of count or identification, less than One-third of the victims have been iden- tified, and the probabilities are that at least half of the dead will] fill unidenti- fied graves. The work of digging sraves and pre- paring the dead for bi ‘ial was pushed rapidly from dawn today. The slowness with which the identification of bodies fs being made has resulted in the re- scinding of Burugess Kohler’s first order that all dead must be buried by Friday and the time limit has been extended to _Monday. On that day all unidentified bodies will be interred in a special lot at.the Union Cemetery, and, after the orphaned children have been cared for, @ day will be decided on for a general memorial service in memory of the un- identified dead. Following an order from the State Board of Education, Coroner Strausser is today removing all bodies from the High School assembly room to tempo- rary morgues in business houses. This morning the Deputy Coroner had fgsued 60 death certificates, indicating that that numberof bodies had been identified. Most of the burials wil] be made without funeral services, owing to the fact that not a clergyman in town is able to uct services, either on @ccount of a. injuries or personal losses in the di ter,
