Miller was on his feet in an instant asking that the juror be further int.:rogated. This was done by Judge Anderson and again Palmer hesitatingly replied that he had said “vo. Palmer, it was learned, was the man who held out for Walsh. On the first ballot the jury stood 8 to 4, but the majority won over one man on each of the three succeeding ballots. Palmer did not give in until almost dawn to- day. , A motion for a new trial was made be- fore Judge Anderson as soon as the 12 yurors had been queried. The Court set van. 28 as the time for hearing ar- guments on the motion. It was rumored that Juror Palmer's apparent unwilling- ness to vate for “guilty’’ would be used by Mr. Miller as the basis for requesting @ new trial. : His Children in Court. Walsh, his two daughters and two sons,.were in.court when the verdict was read. Walsh hardly was moved when Clerk Buell read the word ‘“‘Guil- ty.” He stood sternly erect. His face paled a trifie and his hand fell heavily on the table, but otherwise he was the game, stoical, dominant Walsh. His children scarcely showed surprise at the verdict. Attorney Miller, the Standard Ol Co.'s $100,000 lawyer, declined to discuss the verdict. Then it was that Walsh summed up the position of his side with, “The fight has only begun.” He intends to carry the case to the Su- preme Court of the United States. The following statement was issued by counsel for Mr. Walsh: ‘The result of this trial is. of course, a disappointment to us. In our opinion no case was made on tho evidence pre- sented against’ Mr.’ Walsh and he was entitled to a verdict of not guilty. The jury was composed of intelligent men. but..they .were farmers a altogether unfamiliar with transections involvitg business of the character ght out in this trial. ‘The jury. Was ‘over- whelmed with a mass ~of cungopnected transactlOnd * * ober*d Pozen years. ee : “Under this mass efaevigence the I[s-: sues of the case*wéBesburged. We ask a suspension of pubife a pes this case. We feel sure that the public gen- erally regards Mr. V/alsh as innocent of these charges. WHll Continue Business. “Vr. Walsh, as heretofore, will con- tinue to attend to his business affairs, and that he will finally be vindicated we have no doubt.” Assistant District Attcrney Fietcher Dobyns said: “The prosecution was di- rected against Mr. Walsii‘s illegal acts and not toward the man. The Govern- Ment had no animus in the matter, but Was simply performing its duty by en- forcing the law. I do not believe there ie an error in the case and I am confi- dent that the verdict will stand. The result shows that the Government en- forces the law against the powerful and rich as well as against the poor man who violates the statutes.” Walsh was allowed to remain at lib- erty on the same bond, $50,000, which had been given after his indictment by the Federal grand jury, the prosecution being started at the instance of Presi- dent Roosevelt. The original indict- ment against the banker contained 182 counts, but demurrers to 32 counts were sustained, and 150 were left, on which the jurors were required to pass. ‘The closing of the doors of the Chicago National Bank, the Equitable Trust Co. and the Home £:vings Bank in 1905 was one of the financial upheavals of the age. Walsh was the master builder of millions. But by today’s verdict he is convicted of putting into his structure at least $7,000,000 of money entrusted to him by other persons. Wealth Put at $10,000,000, Mr. \/alsh was considered for many years the leading financier of Chicago, with wealth estimated at $40,000,000. Up to the time of the failure of his banks he was president of the Chicago Na- tional Bank pnd of the Equitable Trust Co., and a leading director in the Home Savings Bank. He was virtual owner in =6.

CHICAGO TTOHN R’oWALSH: NWATIONAL BANK BLDG. the notes tal amount obtained by reached $16,000,000. The proceeds of this manipulation, it was said, Mr. Walsh had used in specu- lation and in the promotion of rail- roads. The Southern Indiana road and associated coal mines. it was alleged, received the greater part of the sum. The Indiana line had always been re- garded as Mr. Walsh's personal proper- ty, in which he sank between $5,000,000 and $15,000,000 in futile efforts to obtain an entrance into Chicago. Mr. WIsh’s trial in the United States District Court began Nov. 12 last. A jury was completed in a single day and the trial has been in almost continuous progress since that date. Witnesses who have been closely asso- clated with 1 banker in his deals described his methods in detail. Frea- erick W. McLean, once his assistant cashier in the bank, swore that Walsh had ordered bogus signatures written to enable him tO draw more than $1,000,000 from his bank. The banker, it was brought out, had made loans to himself on railroad securi- ties which the New York Stock Ex- change had refused to list on the ground that they were worthless. Rint St. Louisan a Witness, C. M. Forman of East St. Louis testi- ‘fied that Walsh advanced $190,000 of the , ; rbank’s money to get possession of the Centralia & Chester Railway, which had two passenger traing and ne freight train.« The passenger@tpains avere -at the time in the hands of a Sheriff.

Mr. Walsh has been a resident of Chi- cago since he came here 12 years of ago with his fami.y, immigrants from Ire- and. He grew up and méate himself the foremost financier of the city. When 18 years old he was salesman for a newsdealer. Failing to impress his ideas upon his employer, he borrowed capital and in 1861 bought him out. From this store as a nucleus, he de- veloped a service whica supplied scores of towns in the Cnicago district with newspapers and periodicals. He crowded the American News Co. so hard that in 1866 there was.a merger and the West- ern News C>. was formed with Walsh as manager. Soon he went into politics, then ob- tained control of a newspaper, and, be- coming master cf these, turned his at- tention to banking. His master pas- sion was the possession of money for the power it gave him. He founded the Chicago National Bank in 1880. Wes Park Commisaioner. Meantime he financed Xe Nationa Baseball League and also held&the office of Park Commissioner. His national bank and later his sav- ings banks and tri t company made a special effort to get public funds. Al- though a Democrat, ie formed an al- Hance with Republicans, taking Repub- lican leaders into his banks. Thus he obtained control of the Chicago park funds. Illinois State funds, Coo County funds and Chicago municipal funds fol- lowed into the coffers of the Walsh banks. Desperate political fights were necessary to accomplish these ends and in them Walsh made many of the ene- mies who contributed to his downfall. His first big deal in public service corporations was the formation of the Chicago gas monopoly in_ spite of charges and investigation. Then he went into railroad and coal speculation. Here, as in politics, he fought his rivals bit- terly and his determination to defeat them finally brought his ruin. Are in the nerves—all feeling is.

The way some persons cling to coffee even after they know it is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead. A girl writes: “Mother has been suf- fering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinkiag coffee. “One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give up. “Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish, I asked for a taste. “That started me on Postum and | now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now. “A girl friend of mine one day saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her it was Postum and gave her some to take home, but forgot to tell her how to make it. “The next day she said ashe did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So I told her how to make it ht and gave her a cupful I made, after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is ban- ished from both our homes.” Name tee by Postum Co., Battle Creek, gan.

Miss w.osephine Virden of 4330 McPher- son avenue and Miss Margaret Swift of 4835 West Pine boulevard, who were in an electric coupe which was struck by a swiftly moving touring car at Boyle avenue and Lindell byuuvlevard had re- covered Saturday from the nervous shock and it was said at their homes that their physical injuries consisted only of a few slight bruises. The driver of the touring car, after his macbine had taken a wheel off the coupe Friday night, continued to speed west on Lindell boulevard and got away, despite the efforts of other auto- mobilists to track him my means of a trail of water which was leaking from the engine of his car. The machine tin which the young women rode was the prorerty of Mrs. Irene Vidren Lemp, widow of Frederick Lemp. The young women were just turning in toward the curb on the east side of Boyle avenue when the touring car going in the same direction struck their machine. Coupe Runs Backward. The impact caused some disarrange- ment of the electric motors, the effect being that the coupe was suddenly re- versed and ran backwards on three wheels, describing a half-circle before it struck the curbstone with great force. Policemen, attracted by the noise of the collision and the screams of the young women, took them from the coupe. Miss Virden was stunned but she soon revived and was taken home.\ In the collision a lamp was knocked off the touring car. The police are holding this as a possible clew to the machine's ownership. 2 ) SUFFERS LAPSE OF MEMORY; ROAMS DAZED IN STREETS Mail Collector Telephones Postof- fice He Fears Iliness—Wanders Without Coat or Hat. Frederick W. Berg, a mail collector, lost his memory while at work Satur- day. He felt the attack coming on, telephoned to the Postoffice to be re- lieved from duty and wandered about the streets hatless and coatless until he partially recovered and made his way home. He says he expects to go to work again in a day or two. Berg reported by telephone at 8 a. m. that he was ill. A short time later his hat, coat: and empty mail pouch were found in a washroom at the City Hall, which is included in his route. Formerly Berg was a mail carrier, but after an attack he suffered a year ago he was made a collector. He is a widower 55 years old, and has been in the service 20 years. No Baas’ Ale Pipe Line. LONDON, Jan. 18.—Regarding the rumors about Bass’ Ale pipe lines which have been current for some time, a high official of the immense Bass corporation made the following statement: “There is absolutely no truth in the rumor that Bass & Co. contemplate laying down a pipe line from their brewery at Burton-on-Trent, England, und supplying their ale direct to their customers in the United States by meter. “Such a project might be all right in the ‘piping times of peace,’ but the possibility of the pip» being mali- clously damaged by an enemy in time of war and the supply of Bass’ Ale thereby cut off at the very time when it is most needed, is too awfy) to con- template.” WIRELESS MESSAGE STOPS MAN ABOUT TO KILL SELF Ship’s Crew Hears Warning and Find Youth Preparing to Swal- low Fatal Acid. FALL RIVER, Mass., Jan. 18.—A wire- less warning saved a passenger from suicide on the steamer Plymouth, far out in the Sound. The Ship operator was about to transmit a message when an interruption came flying through the air from ‘ilson’s Point at head of the Sound. “Stop all and listen,” gaia the wire- less. “You have a young man aboard named George H. Alden of Binghamton, N. Y., who is about to kill himself. He left a letter for a friend in New York saying he would take poison or jump overboard. Hurry.’’ - Capt. Williamson and Steward Sul- iivan were notified. All the bow hands began the search. The wireless had given a brief description of Alden. He was found in one of the staterooms, Where he was attempting to pry the cork out of a bottle of muriatic acid. TWO THOUSAND DEMOCRATS URGE CROW FOR GOVERNOR Former Attorney-General Edward C. Crow is urged for the Democratic nomi- nation for Governor by 2000 St. Louis voters who filed 91 petitions with Secre- tary of State Swanger at Jefferson City Saturday. There were no inscriptions on the package received by Mr. Swanger to indicate who had forwarded the pe- wu0ns., Mr. Crow said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter that the petitions were not au- thorized by him nor has he any fjéa who sent them to Jefferson City. é “T have reached no decision with ref- erence to the gubernatorial contest,”’ added Mr. Crow. “In fact, I have been too busy to give the matter any atten- tion,” BANKS HAVE SO MUCH SILVER THEY CAN'T GET RID OF IT If someone doesn’t come and take the surplus of silver coin away it will be necessary to put hoops around the St. Louis bank buildings to pre- vent the walls from bulging out- ward. There’s no need for Jolfn Smith checks, local financiers say. The trouble {is they have so much silver money that there is no room left in their vaults. They are trying to induce the sub- treasury officials to give them paper for their silver, but Mr. Akins says they will have to wait a few days, as he himself has more silver than he can handle just now. The flood of silver is coming in from the farmers of the great South- west. riday the receipts of currency at one bank were $135,000 more than ithe amount paid out.

Of the latest disturbance it may be said in truth that if they had not heard abou ir or been slightly inconvenienced by the tem- porary withholding bank facilities, most Americans, even of the employing class, would not have been disturbed by it in the least.

She was introduced at the b g just long enough to give the jury a good look at her. If the jury are human, her withdrawal must have whetted their curiosity. It must have raised the question in their minds whether she would testi- fy at all; it must have aroused apprehensions of possible disappointment and caused them to won- der dll aurfige’ the interim. Evelyn out of sight was a bigger presence in mind than she could have been if sitting before them. There was no chance for Evelyn to become a stale vision. And when she re-enters she does so as the great star in the third act, who has not been seen dur- ing the second, but for whose delayed entrance the playwright has built up an immense psycho- logical interest and tense eagerness. Evelyn comes upon a waiting stage to an audi- ence in keen suspense. All the values of contrast and emphasis have been secured by her absence that made the days dull and the case drag; and as she comes at last to the stand it is by no means remarkable if she sweeps all the rest of the case from the jury’s mind. From the fact that Mr. Littleton and his, col- leagues so easily consented to her absence when they need not have done so, they may fairly. be credited with shrewdness and some notion of hu- man motives—-which are, after all, rather simple when they involve man’s at'itude towards beauty in distress. |

Alas, these hopes are dashed. : ; It proves to be a feast of the Barmecide variety, and henceforth the gay dons and decorated func- tionaries who pay visits aboard may as well boot- leg their own refreshments along with them. Our niggard Navy Department appropriated only a measly little $3000 for “entertainment” and that is all gone already, with but two ports touched. To be sure there is one way out of our officers’ embarrassment hinted by the example of the common sailors who have “‘blown in” $100,000 of their own wages since the cruise began. Unless the jean larders are replenished by per- sonal contributions we see nothing for the officers to do but offer their callers the regulation marsh- mallows and fudge. © = = ~~ STAGE DRIVERS AS POLICEMEN.

When a man starts out to set him -ea; wife, he finds: that tle factories, trusts, railroads, banks ang department stores have been scouring the country for able-bodied, good- looking and good-natured girls'to hire in their places of business, and the man Vno wants'a wife must take second choice, scraps, culls, cripples, out-of-date, hack numbers and old maids. Now, that is one reason, and another is some nun are so stingy and growly they won’n! give their wives a nickel to buy chewing gum or any other necessities at life, and when they do give them uny money they want to know what they co with every cent of it. There was oice @ Man who gave his wife $10 to buy some groceries. That night he want- ei to know what she bought. Said she: “I bought one hair curler (15c), face powder (lic), chewing gum ‘10c), collar fer dear Httle Fido ($1.50), new game cc1ds for Lucy's children (50c), one ositich feather to go on my new hat ($1), went to the matinee (50c), luncheon (6(c;, patent garters for myself (55c), Fread (20c), birthday present for Sue’s biby ($1.2), tooth powder (25¢e), two doz- en calling cards (75c). bathing suit for myself (80), toothpicks (5c). That is $8.45, an} now, John, don't scold me, but I did spend the other $1.55 foolishly.’’ John !ad bread and cnions for supper—breacd 2c, onions i0c—total for groceries, Se. A woman can make money go furti:er and faster than a man. Give a woman $2 and a basket and she will go downtown and come back with a bas- ket full. You give a man $2 and a basket and he will come back full without nny basket. Now, I guess that is the way with the twenty-dollar-a-week men. They are afraid they will get one of tlLcse new~{women, and she would not go out to get the groceries, but would send him and he: might get full, then they wouldn’t have any basket. He remembers the Lord told Adam that man sheuld rule over woman, but he knows he would have a hard time ruling ever a woman after she has been making her own living for three or four years. Woman was created for a helpreet for man, to help him up out of the r‘udholes and keep him from getting don on an equality with a hog, There are some Women who think they know hew to prune an orchard better than man and run the farm, vote and hold office, but it takes a man made in the nage of God to do that, and woman, whe was made in the image of the angels, sheuld be singing around the house, cooking, washing disnes, sewing buttons on her old man’s pants, if she has any and, if she hasn't, she ought to get on and make her own clothes, take care of the children. Then the snakes veuldn’t be half as apt to get her as titcy will if she be out in the orchard or uorking downtown with a ‘ot of men. I cun speak for myself and say that I luve been keeping company with a working girl of age somewhere between 16 and 33 for over a year and she tells me she had rather make her own liv- ing than to be bothered with a man, and I guess that is the way with a good many more, so that is why there are sO many unmarried men and women in zood old St. Louis.

HAVE been reading the different opinions regarding the working girls’ de- sire to marry, as expressed in your letters from the people, and I cannot refrain from giving my personal experience fer the benefit of those who are interested. Your 36 of one mind are sufficient to prove the real sentiment of the majority of the working girls. I feel sure of that. I am a widower. One of the persevering class who, having once tasted the sweets of pure wed- ded love and delightful home life, is very anxious to live again. In the past two years I have courted three splendid young women, spent my money equally free, but not extravagantly on all. I Was accepted by two of these women and in turn discarded by each. And for the same reason, viz.: My in- come Was not so large as she had expected, although it Is very nearly double the questionable $20 per week. They ate working girls, both aver 24 years of age, and have both known me and my people for years, and had visited my former home. Yet they were not acquainted with éach other. The third young lady rejected my suit. She lived with parents and had a comfortable share of the world’s goods. She was by, far the most sweet-tempered and most modest in wants and in dress. She never once suggested a way to get rid of my money, and was not at all spoiled or puffed up with her own importance. She never imagined she was going to marry the “chief clerk," who would soon be “general manager,’’ nor the “junior ; partner,”” who would later be “senior partner” by death or dissolution of the firm. Whrt her reason was for not accepting is not known and of no consequence. The fact is well estab- lished in my mind that working girls can suggest more ways to spend your money, are the hardest to please and are undoubtedly the most dissatisfied- with-their-lot bunch that you can find on this earth at the present day. They desire no change. I think the sooner we leave tnem to t heir ueserved fate the sooner they will come to their normal

a Surprising Ignoranee Already Has American League Pennant Nailed to. Highlanders’ Pole.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY I N New York and other cities as well, dozens of baseball scribes and hundreds of fans are getting excited over the prospects of Clark Griffith and his Highlanders for the season of 1908. Each day the situation to them has taken a brighter hue until now they actually write and talk as if the pennant was clinched. They have heralded the coming of Niles, Glade ahd Hemphill as if they were the three greatest players that the game has seen since ’86. Jikewise, they have rejoiced at the departure of Wil- liams and Hoffman. They hav Griffith in making changes and possibly the ‘‘foxy’’ leader may the fall. Griffith will have a tougher time win- ning games in the American League next season than last and he was great- ly overworked in 1907 trying to land his share. Last year he was weak on pitchers and catchers. This year he will be weak in the same places and in the infie:d and outfield besides. G on his staff. He is sadly in need of a first-class catcher, and with Willie Keeler failing, his outfield is in need of much greater repair than Hemphill can give it. His team is one of the possibilities only. Size it up beside Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or the St. Louis Browns and it doesn't appear an attractive betting proposition. The St. Louis club is a better aggre- gation of baliplayers today by several points, and it is a dandy bet the Browns will finish ahead of New York. RIFF hasn’t a dependanble pitcher Broadway this week when it was announced that Fred Glade, the former St. Louis player rad signed his contract to play with the Highlanders. One has to get accustomed to Glade to dislike him and the New . Yorkers have not seen so much of him as St. ‘Loulisans. Admitting Glade has wonder- ful days and can pitch speedy ball, he has never yet been a favorite with the fans, from his youth up. At one time Fred pitched for Des Seo ts delight and ecstasy on e praised every act of Manager very few have even hinted that have little but lemons to pick 1 Harry -Howell, in abcut 35 full games. had 42 put-outs and 125 assists. That shows the difference. Some day, when Glade stands idly in the box and lets the ball roll past within a few feet of him, or fails to cover first when the baseman goes after a grounder, Griffith will throw a fit and the Gotham fans are likely to throw something else. McAleer was clever enough to trade him before all the shine was worn off. Last June he _ could have secured a couple of ball clubs for this one man. Niles banged the ball around at a .400 clip for the first half of the year and then a .200 clip for the last half. It’s a guess what he will do this year. As a fielder he never was strong. He had 280 putouts, 352 assists and 34 errors last season. Ferris, who may take his place on the Browns this season, got 424 putouts, 450 assists and made 30 errors and played in but a few more games. Williams, the other man in the trade, who is more likely to play second for the Browns, had 357 putouts, 393 assists and 26 errors for the year. It looks as if Niles wasn’t a very busy man in the field. EMPHILL, who is to replace Hoffman on the New York team, : was a few points better In batting. He is almost as good on catching fly balls, but does not compare with Hoff- man in base running or throwing. Hoff- man’s weak point is batting left-handed pitchers. Against right-handers he is easily a .300 hitter, but he is like a child against some of the good south- ws of the league. But Danny is N Niles, New York thinks it has a iewei” , , pa ~~——--Moines-in-the Western League and his} credited with come intellect. grand work, together with that of Jake Weimer, won the champicnship;”' but Glade was the most unpopular man on the team. If he would'only get up and yell a bit on the coaching lines and act as he had a spark of enthusiasm in the game aside from the money it brings him, there would be some hope of his being One of the idols of the fans. _ Glade has a fast ball and that is about all. On the days that he has a good break in it he usually has the batters buffaloed. When the break -{gsn't there he usually lasts about three innings. He has never yet been able to develop a slow ball, and these days a piteher must have a whole lot and be able to mix them up in every game to make much of a success in the ma- jor leagues. | Glade was the Jeading pitcher for the Browns last season, but only worked in 24 games In all that time he had but three put-outs and 45 assists. It is a F course New York has Hal Chase 0 for first base ard he is excellent. Then “Grif’’ has grabbed off Jake Stahl, the former manager and first baseman of the Washington club. Jake will help out, no matter what position he plays. Kid Elberfeld, the “scrapping kid,”’ will again be at shortstop to juggle ground balls and umpires. Mori- arity will likely play third, although he has expressed a feeling of dissatis- faction with New Yor«a, according to reports. It looks as if Kleinow will be the mainstay behind the bat again, as Thomas has been traded to Detroit. Conroy, Keeler, Be]jl and Laporte, in addition to some possible new stuff, will complete the outfield and utility men. Doyle, the slow man, is the most promising pitche’. Al Orth seems to have lost his cunning, as well as Ches- bro. Hogg may have a good year, although he has never been a sensation as a twirler. Newton, a left-hander, was never up in the race last season, and Keefe and Kitson showed nothing in the way of pitching. But still Broadway rs glad and boast- ful of what it will do. If Grif can get

safe bet that he didn’t travel more than six feet to get vara of these assists. in touch with some supernatural power that will revive his bunch of perform- ers he may yet cause a stir.

Stanford University has received a challenge from tne New Zealand rugby football team. now touring England, for a@ match to be played the latter part of February when the Antipodeans are crossing America en route home. With the sport of kings in bad odor in s} many sections of the country, even where permitted at present, Mexico is being looked upon as an outlet for the cheaper horses. The men connected with the Western turf and particularly those racing at Oakland and Los An- geles, and the Rocky Mountain circuit, including ver and Butte, are now booming the Diaz republic as a new ground. The business men of the City of Mexico are said to be behind the ven- ture and profits are not being consid- ered—as yet. A quarter of a million dollar plant is talked of. Willie Hoppe's challenges for both the 18.1 and 18.2 billiard championships may necessitate that young man playing for ‘both titles within four days, some- ae of a strain when the distinctive- of the two games is considered.

Hoppe's phallenges are, a course, ef- fective the day following’ each game.

Under the conditions governing the tro- phies the challenger has ten days in which to accept, and 60 days in which to play or forfeit. pRnougn not — able, it can be seen that oppe ay th be called upon to play immediately lowing the settlement of the coming matches.

ENTRIES CONTINUE TO COME FOR EAST ST, LOUIS DOG SHOW Indications Point to Great Exhibit of Canine Aristocrats. Secretary E. S. McIntyre of the East St. Louis Kennel Club, whose first an- nual dog show will take place at the Rex Rink, Jan. 28, 29 and 30, stated this morning that the owners and devotees of canine aristocrats of St. Louis are coming to the front fast with their en- tries, and that the public will see a fine aggregation of highly pedigreed dogs .in the show. From the present rate of the receipts of entries by the club the coming show will be a big winner as a two-point exhibition, and the competition for the blue ribbons and handsome list of specials will be of a keen character. John Matt of East St. Louis is the proud owner of a tiny toy terrier that will be a big card as the smallest dog in the show. It weighs about three pounds and is the cutest and “‘littlest thing,”’ to quote actor Bob Hilliard, imaginable. r. Matt has made entries of other dogs in his kennel. Chairman J. B. Able of the Bench Show Committee has advices that there will be entries at the show of a kennel from Central wisconsin and that Bill Bailey, who owns Bellows Brighteyes, will ship his pet from Seattle, Wash., Monday next, so as to get rested up -after the long trip for the show. The entries will close tonight at Treasurer Clarence E. Pope's office at midnight, and all mail bearing post- mark up to midnight will be accepted as within the official time pe closing.

The most promising set of matches up to date are scheduled for the Individual City Ten Pin championship tournament competition on the Palace alleys Satur- day. The games scheduled for last Sun- day were postponed and will be rolled iater in the season. The postponement was because of the City Handicap tournament games on the De Soto al- leys. Billy Barron and Jules Schmitt will meet in a match at 3 p. m. These men are the two best bowlers in St. Louis on their averages for the season. Barron is a member of the De Sote Stars and Schmitt is captain of the Palace team. Schmitt was scratch man for the re- cent City Handicap tournament indi- vidual competition, in which practically every bowler in St. Louis of any conse- quence competed. Barron’s average was so close to Schmitt’s that there was only 1-3 pin difference per game between their averages. It was decided to place Barron on scratch with Schmitt, but to handicap the other bowlers from Schmitt’s average, his being the high- est. The men will bowl seven games. Al Jellison and Homer Sanders will also clash. These men are also of the De Soto Stars, City Champions, and the match should result in some high scores. L. W. Waldecker, leader of the tourna- ment, will have a hard match this after- noon when he meets Charley Stokes. Stokes is the favorite to win the match and topple Waldecker from his lofty position. Martin Kern and Jerry Amel- ing will furnish the fourth match of the afternoon. FARMERS BESEECH HUNTSMEN

SATURDAY— 8T. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JANUARY 18, 1908. | BEATS ROBBER ) WITH HIS FST Scorns to Use Revolver, but Rescues. Stranger and Captures Thief. IS AMATEUR FIGHTER Second Thug Goes to Friends’ Home and Is Made Prisoner. John Dale, athletic young watchman of the Terminal Railroad Association, who saw two highwaymen beat and rob James ©. Leslie of Rich Hill, Mo., in the Sixteenth street yaras of the Ter- minal association at 0:30 o'clock Fri- day night, routed the highwaymen and. without having to use his revolver, cap- tured one of them after a desperate struggle. The other robber went to the Olive street home of the man Dale captured to inform his wife what had happened. The second man’s faithfulness to his confederate cost him his liberty, as the police were awaiting him at the latters home. The robber captured by Dale said i> was Charles G.

The other man, who ran ‘when Dale jumped in to stop the at- tack and robbery. of Leslie, was arrested later and said he was* Frank Wilson, 64 years old, living at 1512 Olive street. Watchman is Athlete. Dale, whois a structural iron worker for the Terminal Association and is doing the duties of a watchman only temporarily, until work can be given him in his line, is only 23 years old. He lives at 2228 Kandolph street with his bride of three months. He former- ly played football and baseball in Peo- ria, I)l., his former home, and in ama- teur circles in St. Louis. He has also done some amateur boxing and is always fh excellent physical condition. Dale Was standing behind an oil tank in the Sixteenth street yards when he saw three men walking up Clar. ave- nue, They turned over Sixteenth street and walked towards him. The two high- waymen were on either side of Leslie, their victim, Dale says. The three came into the yards and walked a little distance up the tracks, Dale, fearing that something was wrong, watched them. Soon he saw both men strike their victim. He says Wilson, who is known to the police es Maddox, struck Leslie first. The men_had Leslie down. son was sitting on Leslie's Fowler had straddled Leslie’s head and grabbed Leslie's watch. The highwayman put tle victim's watch in his trousers’ pocket. Dale ran out from behind the car toward the three men. Fowler was nearest him. He grabbed Fowler just as Wilson ran, crawling under several freight cars and getting away while Dale and Fowler struggled. Dale struck the robber one telling blow after another and finally subdued him. : Victim Offers Prayer. Leslie, the victim, did not move for several minutes. When he finally saw Dale had come to'‘his rescue, he got up on his knees and prayed his thanks, Dale says. Dale then marched Fowler down Clark avenue to Twelfth street. On his way to police headquarters with Fowler he met a policeman and all went to ' headquarters.

ANSER START SECRET PROBE OF ROUND TABL Investigation of Reported Im- moralities of Knights Stirs Up Trouble. BERLIN, Jan. 138.—Kaiser Wilhelm has begun a secret investigation into charges against high army officers of immoralities similar to those imputed by Editor Maximilian Harden of Die Zukunft to Gen. Count von Moltke and others of the now notorious Knights of the Round Table. Though the inquiry has been going on for several days, it has been conducted with so much secrecy that it was not even suspected until today that it was in progress. What officers are on the grill is unknown, but they are said to be nationally prominent. General House Cleaning. s Except that Harden’s attack on the Knights of the Round Table began a general housecleaning, which is stirring up trouble in all kinds of unexpected corners, it is not known just how the present investigation was started. Though the Kaiser is determined to complete the purification of his court, army and civil service, he is exceeding- ly anxious to prevent the world from knowing what is going on, so it is hard to tell how many heads will fall before the shakeup is over. ‘ School Board to Bulld Warehouse.

TICKETS, OLIVE AND SIXTH. iW | e ss 3 4 | Commissioner Smith. vs. The Standard Oil Go.~ From the Ratlway World, January 3, 1908 Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the cause of economic reform has been in no wise abated by the panic which he and his kind did so much to bring on, is out with an answer to President Moffett of ‘the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana. The publication of this answer, it is officially given out, was delayed several weeks, “for business reasons,” because it was not deemed advisable to further excite the public mind, which was profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Now that the storm clouds have rolled by, however, the Commissioner rushes again into the fray. _ Our readers remember that the chief points in the defense of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were (1) that the rate of 6 cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis has been issued to the Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that the 18-cent rate on file with the Interstate Commerce Commission w2s a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended to apply to oil, (3) that oi] was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and East St. Louis over the Chicago and East- ern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hundred pounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the law- ful rate, and (4) that the 18-cent rate on oil Was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between these points of a similar character, and of greater value, such» lor example, as linseed oil, the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffett also Stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers. between these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defense of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exert- ed a powerful influence upon the public mind. Naturally the administration, which has staked the success of its campaign against the “trusts” upon the result of its attack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and — the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his re- butta) argument is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the _ circumstances would warrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The Standard Oil Company had a traffic department, and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no answer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Iilinois rate was a secret rate because it read, not from Whit- ing, but from Dolton, which is described as “a village of about 1500 population just outside of Chicago. Its only claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin for this and similar secret rates.” The ‘Commis- sioner admits in describing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. The press has quite generally hailed this statement of the Commissioner of Corporations as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal argument advanced by the Standard. In fact, it is as weak and inconclusive as the remainder of his argument. The lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois do not run into Chicago. They terminate at Dolton, from which point entrance is made over the Belt Line. Whiting, where the oil freight originates, is not on the lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, which receives its Whiting freight from the Belt Line at Dolton. The former practice, now discontinued, in filing tariffs was to make them read from a point on the line of the filing road, and it was also general to state on the sdime sheet, that the tariff would apply to other points, e. g., Whiting. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Dolton, and making a note on the sheet that it applied to Whiting. This was in 1895 when this method of filing tariffs was in com- mon use. Now let us see in what way the intending shipper of oi] could ‘be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago & Eastern Illinois had not filed a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that “conceal- ment is the only motive for such a circuitous arrangement,” i. e., that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead intending competitors of the Standard Oil Company. Sup- pose such a prospective oi! refinér had applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to East St. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Tilinois, he would have been informed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was 64% cents from Dolton, and he would have been further informed, if indeed he did not know this al- ready, that this rate applied throughout Chi- cago territory. So that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whiting, or anywhere else about Chicago, under an arrangement of long standing, and which applies to all of the indus- tria] towns in the neighborhood of Chicago, he could have his freight delivered cver the Belt Line to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported to Fast St. Louis at a rate of 6% cents. Where then is the concealment which the Commissioner of eorporations makes so much of? Any rate—from- Dolton on the Eastern Illinois or Chappell on the Alton, or Harvey on the Illinois Centra), or Blue Island on the Rock Island, applies throughout Chicago territory to shipments from Whiting, a8 to shipn ents from any other point in the district. So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate from Doltop in order to deceive the shipper, it is the Com- missioner of Corporations who either betrays his gross ignorance of transportation customs in Uhicago territory er on the public ignorance of these customs to deceive the pub- lic too apt to aceept unquestioningly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although, as in the present instance, a careful examination shows these statements to be false. The final point made by President Moffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents, the Commissioner of Co tions dis- cusses only with the remark that “the ‘reason- ableness’ of this rate is not in question. The question is whether this rate constituted a dis- crimination as against other sh of oil,” and he also makes much of the failure of Presi- dent Moffett to produce before the _— jury evidence of the alleged Mlegal acts of which the Standard Oil official said that other large ship- pers in the territory had been guilty, Consider- ing the fact that these ship Tochuded the packers and elevator men = icago the action of the nd jury in calling upon Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong- reted as a demand rth an 4 ela rate-book containing the other shippers was offere the trial and ruled out by Judge Landis, was kept out of sight. President Moffett would oan of course, accept the invitation of the gi jury, although he might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official inv gations by the Interstate Commerce sion and other departments of the Government, We come back, therefore, to the conclusion . of the whole matter, which is that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was fined an amount equal to seven or eight tithes the valde of its entire property, because its traffie department did not verify the statement of the Alton rate clerk, that the six-cent commodity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. There is no evidence, and none was introduced at the trial, that any shipper of oil from Chicago territory had interfered with by the eighteen-cent rate nor that the failure of the Alton to file its six-cent rate had resulted in any discrimination against any independent shipper,—we must take this on the word of the Commissioner of Corpora- tions and of Judge Landis. Neither is it denied even by Mr. Smith that the “independent” shipper of oil, whom he pictures as driven out of business by this diserimination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago and Eastern Dlinois to East St, Louis. In short, President Moffett’s defence is stil! good, and we predict will be so declared by the higher court. The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and misdemeanors, Beginning with the a of Marietta, ssing down to that apostie o r liber- ten, * Hewat Demarest Peed, with bie Wealth Against the Commonwealth, descending by stages to Miss Tarbell’s offensive we finally reach the nether depths of unfair baseless misrepresentation in the report of the Commissioner of Co tions. The has been charged with every form of commer- cial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After jong uous attack, under the leadership of the Presi- dent of the United States, the corporation is to the bar of justice to answer for
