CHICAGO, Jan. %.—“Fanny. 1 think you are entirely too yous to wear a rat in your hair,”’ declared Judge Tut- hill of the Juvenile Court today to Fan- ny Jacobson, 16 years old. “But, Mr. Judge, don’t you think that look better with one in my hair? if I go without the rat,” said the girl, “my hair hasn’t got that nice, fluffy wave in it and I don’t look nice.” The girl was taken into court by her mother, who told Judge Tuthill — her daughter “wore a rat in her hair and stayed out nights.” “Tl think,’’ said the Court, ‘“‘that you are too young to be doing as you are. I don’t believe that a girl of your age should be staying out at night and wearing your hair in such a flashy manner. If you promise me to behave and stay at home nights and wear your hair in a more modest way I might let you go this time.” Fanny said she would try. She did not object to staying at home so much as to giving up the rat, but she finally said she would try to be good. Judge Tuthill did not believe from her attitude that she would try very hard, so he sent her to the Chicago Refuge for Girls. COUNTESS GOT LARGE SUMS FOR WORK OF OTHER AUTHORS Swindling Methods Gave Woman Reputation as Leading Liter- ary Figure. DRESDEN, Jan. 2%.—Countess von Sturz, a member of the Hungarian no- bility, was arrested in this city today on the charge of having carried out a 6e- ries of literary swindles. It was her custom to sign her own name to the works of authors not known in Ger- many or Austria and then sell the man- uscripts for large sums. For some time past the Countess had been a leading literary figure in Austria and Germany and she has lived in princely style on money obtained by false pretenses from members of the nobility.

St. Louls’ army of unémployed men will get a0 wora from the Public Li- brary Board this winter, although the Board has the building of a large central library and three branch libraries on hand and more than $1,750,000 available for its projects. This is because the plans for the con- templated three new branch libraries have not yet been drawn and the contract for the erection of the central has not been awarded. The contract for building the central library will not be let before March, possibly not before May. In any event, actual work on the site will not be begun before spring has come, probably not before summer. The plans drawn by Cass Gilbert, the New York anchitect, for the new §1,260,- 000 central library, have been approved by the board and the present hiatus fn that project is announced to be due to the fact that Mr. Gilbert is at work preparing such “working plans” and ~ specifications as contractors and bulld-¢ ers demand before bidding on a cCon- tract of this magnitude. President Le: " mann of the Nbrary board says he 6x: pects these plans to be ready in March and the contract let then. From other ‘sources comes the o inion that Mr. Gt a bert will hot have his drawings until May. Branch Pians Not Draws, The board has decided that no work shall be done at all until the contfact# for the complete construction of the pullding is awarded. This determination, coupled with the fact that no plans have been drawn for the fourth néw branch libarry at Seventh and Soulard streets, although the site was purchased last. spring, means that the library board's money will not be put Into general cit- culation immediately, but will be per- mitted to remain where it is until con» ditions change. The library board’s available funds now amount to $1,777,800-4, according to . an unofficial calculation. It had exactly that amount to its credit one day this week, distributed as follows: In thecity treasury, $242,069.07; on deposit in local banking institutions, $796,741.77; remain- ing undrawn with Mr, Carnegie’s cash- ler, $740,000. The deposit with loca! banking institu- tions—$795,741.77—is distributed as fol- lows: Mississippi Valley Trust Co,, $668,900: St. Louis-Union Trust Co., 313%, - 841.77. Deposit Draws 3 Per Cent. The amount deposited with the Missis- sippi Valley is drawing 3 per cent an- nually and the toard now has to its credit interest since last August on the entire amount. The $126,841.77 deposited at the St. Louis-Union is dividea inte two parts. One part—$49,232.83—represents the balance in the amounts already drawn from the Carnegie fund. This is drawing 2 per cent interest, like other current accounts at this trust compan, . The balance—$7i,008.94—is classified ‘aa savings account and has been drawing 3 per cent interest, A library official says he expects the trust company to pay 3% or 4 per cont during the current year. The board’s money in the Cty Treas- ury and the money to its credit in the Carnegie exchequer draw no inter- est for the board. The St: Louis-Union is the Jepositery of the current funds of the library board. It haa been for many years. President Lehmann and other member Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Jan. 25.—No re- port has been received from the Arkan-

sas River steamer on which 4 convicts, in charge of two guards, left here yes- terday afternoon for State convict farm at Varner, 9% miles southeast. Supt. Pitcock of the Penitentiary fears the convicts have mutinied, killed or bound their guards, and landed, taking with them horses and mules which were on the boat. Unless a report is received before Sunday morning, the superintendent will then start down the river in a gasoline launch. He said this afternoon that the delay might mean only that the boat had stranded on a sand bar. Desperate Men on Board, John Pitcock, brother of the superin- tendent, was in charge of the convict boat. The start was made toward sun- down yesterday, and it was believed that the boat would reach the farm in time for breakfast.

BOY; 12, KILLS HIMSELF; SISTER, 9, FINDS BODY John O'Leary Goes to> Father’s Mrs. Sofrona Travis of 6816 Old Man- chester road, has become so interested in the Lonelies Club and so disinterested in her husband, Cassius, that she wants to give him up to some Miss Lonely. : Mrs. Travis has written a letter ad- dressed to ‘‘Miss Lonely, care of the Post-Dispatch,’’ in which she says that since “Miss Lonely’’ is so anxious for a man she is willing to turn Cassius over to her. In the inventory of his at- tractions she’’-mentions that Cassius weighs 230 pounds and has red hair and grey eyes. Cassius is a carpenter and when he works hard, according to his wife, he makes $5 a day. But Cassius has not been working hard lately, says his wife. Besides she is tired of trying to wake him up, she declares. She thinks some Miss Lonely might be more successful with him. Not a Joke, She Says. “No, it isn’t a joke at all,” said Mrs. Travis when a Post-Dispatch reporter called; “I, mean every word of {tr “Cas-} sius is 4 good man and if hewould work hard I ‘couldn’t, want a better man in the world.

I became very much interested in the Lonelies Liub, and when Cassius said he liked the photograph of one the girls I told him I was going to write her that she could have him. “He laughed and said that there would be so many girls out here for him that he wouldn’t know what to do with them. He thought it was a joke, but it isn’t. “I've told him several times to leave but he won't do it. He knows I will look after him and,so he keeps on hanging around.

That’s all the clerks have time to count, and so the banks have been compelled to wait their turns, like the box Office line for a Kalich perform- ance, to get rid of their bullion. “We have somewhat more silver than is convenient for us to handle,”’ C. H. hiuttig, president of the Third National Bank, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Sat- urday. “After the financial flurry, cur- rency began flowing in very freely, and silver was, somewhat out of proportion. But I belleve it is still fashionable to have plenty of it, and we are not com- plaining.”’ Ralph J. Johnson, chief cashier of the Subtreasury, said his department was only expected to redeem silver at its convenience.

Friend of Capt. Charles Brown Believes Gems Pawned to Buy Food. ———

The body of Capt. Charles F. Brown, “an aged mineralogist and Civil War veteran, lies unclaimed at the City Hos- pital, while mystery surrounds the dis- appearance of his $30,000 collection of minerals, which he spent 30 years gath- He had only $2.85 when taken to the hospital, and the body may be turned over to the Anatomical Board for dissection by medical students un- less the collection is found or word reaches relatives. Capt. Brown lived at 825 North Tay- lor avenue, and was found dying there Wednesday afternoon by workmen sent to wreck the building to make way for the proposed Wednesday Clubhouse. He Was sent to the City Hospital and died there of phthisis Thursday. He was 70 years old. The collection of minerals which Capt. Brown gathered in the Arkansas Moun- tains, and which is said to have been declared the finest and most complete in existence, was on exhibition at the World's Fair. The Iron Mountain Rail- road engaged Capt. Brown to show it, and he was decorated by the Exposi- tion company for it. Out of Employment. For two years past Capt. Brown, on account of his feebleness, had been al- most constantly out of employment. He had some money, which is now believed to have been obtained by pawning his precious collection, but this was ex- hausted and for several months he had been practically penniless. “O. Greenwald, a dealer in linens at 505 North Taylor avenue, told a Post- Dispatch reporter Saturday that he had loaned money to Capt. Brown, whom he has known several years, and that he has possession of papers which may solve the secret of the whereabouts of the mineral collection. “He never would tell me what had be- come of the collection,’’ Greenwald said, “except that once he remarked it was ‘Bomewhere on Cass avenue. When I questioned him further he closed ‘up like 3B clam.” Refuses to Open Papers. Greenwald refuses to open the papers, which Capt. Brown intrustéd to Him be- fore going to the hospital. He expects to turn them over to the Public Ad- ministrator. . The hespital records show that Capt. ‘Brown was 74 years old, and a native of Massachusetts. He asked that Green- wald and G A. A. Dvane of Little Rock, Ark., be notified in case he died. . The body of a pauper who dies at the hospital is held 10 days for a claimant, then is turned over to the Anatomical Board. 86-YEAR-OLD WOMAN AND HER ~ SISTER, 82, BURNED 10 DEATH ST. CLAIRSVILLBE, O., Jan. 2.—In a bettie with flames to save the life of her sister, Margaret Fulton, 8 years old, was burned to death. Jane, 82 years old, suffered the same fate.

ST. LOUIS MEN WEAR KING EDWARD CORSET

7 Prominent Merchants and First Nighters Win- ning a Waist Line With “Straight Fronts” —-Tailor Has “Snitched.” ¥

According .to Mme. Jacques, the Parisian corsetiere and maker of cor- sets, by special appointment to H. M.., Edward VII, men when they come to 40 years must take to corsets or look their age. With corsets they may be able to attain the sylphlike figure of their youth, grow a chest and better their health. She is now in New York td put the men in stays. In Europe nothing is thought of men wearing corsets, especially the military, public speakers and singers. But Mme. Jacques is introducing no novelty so far as St. Louis is con- cerned. If the fashionable tuilors are to be believed, there are several fat men in St. Louls who can now see the tips of the patent leathers they have not seen for years. “The purpose of the men's corset— only, we don’t call it that’’—said a tai- lor, “is to hold in the superabundance of fat that grows below the waist line, and throw it upward, supporting its weight and giving comfort to the wear- er. It's a Corporation at 40. “A man doesn’t begin to grow a ‘cor- poration’ until he is 40, and even at that age if he takes a certain amount of exerctse and is careful of his diet and is of a nervous’ tem- perament he will retain his waist line. It is.the lazy and inactive man who grows a big stomach as a general rule, or if it comes before 40 it is caused by a predisposition to fat. “Your lazy man, when he gets embon- point below the waist, lets it sag. His shoulders go forward, his chest ‘dishes in’ and’ his abdomen protrudes because in this way he gets the most ease. “T have a customer, I will not men- professional man, who is fat all over, but was 6 feet around the abdomen until | persuaded him to wear a fat man's corset. Pear-Shaped Above Waist. “Here are his measurements.

TRUTH ABOUT BOARDING HOUSES AND LANDLADIES TO BE TOLD IN LONELYITE Secrets of the Homes of Bachelors and Maidens to Be Bared in Club Magazine. Landladies who give boarders more philosophy than food, and ‘andladies’ husbands who look very dignified in crayon portraits on the dining room wall, and very ordinary in real life, will be described in the boarding house edi- tion of the Lonelvite, to be tssued in February. The Lonelyite, of which the boarding house edition will be Vol. 1, No. 2, is the organ of the Lonely Social Circle. George Parke of 2637 Allen avenue is editor. “Most of the members of our drele live in boarding houses,”’ said Mr. Parke Saturday to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “and a number of the best writers among us have promised to contribute articles on boarding house life. “There will naturally be a good many references to such things as tomatoes served with the jackets on, and steak that tastes of liver from being cooked in the same dish, and landladies who have figured out just how little food will sustain life. “But I hope we shall also have some good things about boarding-house keep- ers—how they have taken in young men with no assets but suspicious-looking trunks, and accepted promises longer than persons in any other business would do it, and how some have even given up their own dear daughters that lonely young men might have wives, and thereby usually lost both daughter and boarder.”’ Many members of the Lonely Ctrele will attend a special service at the Fountain Park Congregational Church, to be held probably the first Sunday. night in February. 500 POUNDS OF DYNAMITE EXPLODES AND 5 ARE HURT Fire Reaches Box Car in lowa Min- ing Town—Shock Felt Five Miles.

Five men were injured and $60,000 worth of property was de- stroyed by the explosion. The shock was felt for five miles around and at Albia, two miles distant, many windows were broken.

CITY'S WORST STORM Liner Adriatic Forced to An a chor Off Sandy Hook Dur- ing Blizzard”

NEW YORK, Jan. %.—Signs of suf- fering never eclipsed in the history of this city are following the removal of yesterday's 15 inches of snowfall from the blocked downtown sections. The army of snow shovellers has been re- crulted from the ranks of the unem- ployed and these men present a pitiable appearance. a Seventy-five per cent of the men now employed by the contractors are insuf- ficiently clothed and many of them are actually suffering for the want of bread. | Dressed in thin suminer clothing, with- out overcoats, gloves or underclothing, their shoes in many instances tiled to- gether, these men are struggling for existence. Of 800 men who marched from the Bureau of Street Cleaning at midnight to clear the crossings, fire hydrants and the larger public squares, more than half had to quit before 9 o'clock today. . Their strength was not equal to the work in the cold northwest wind, with the mercury but 15 degrees above gero. . All seemed eager to work, but the weaker ones faltered. Hot Coffee to Workers. The exhausted ones were taken to hos- pitals and cared for while charitably in- clined persons saw that great cans of steaming hot coffee were sent to relieve those who continued thelr work. There were 4000 working. For the first time in many years there are plenty of applications for positions. The cold is working great hardship in the tenement sections, where coal fs at a premium. — The usual price of 12 cents.a pall has been raised to 30 cents, with a UNmited supply on hand. The big wagons of the coal dealers cannot penetrate the mar- row strccts of the East and West sides, which are blocked high with snow and serve supply of fuel on hand are the sufferers. Men, women and children, left their homes last night and applied for lodg- ing at the municipal lodging houses and at the temporary shelters erected on the recreation piers. Eight deaths due to the storm have been reported to the police, while per- sons have suffered broken limbs and other injuries from falls on icy side: walks. Liner Anchors in Storm. With the Manhattan skyscrapers al- most in view, the passengers on the White Star liner Adriatic fumed and swore as she lay at anchor off em Hook during the storm. The 5 gale and northeaster made it impossible to ship a pilot. Four big anchors we dropped to hold the liner off shore. It was not until this morning that the big liner could come up to quaran- tine. On board. was Dr. Gauja, a French physician, who attended Harry K. Thaw in Paris, and two companions, who are — to be witnesses in the trial on Mon- — day.

Curby Jr. Makes Demand for Settlement.

On account of conflicting claims for the estate of the late Joseph L. Curby Jr., “the Tallyho Kid,” growing out of ambiguity--in the will of his grandfa- ther, Joseph L. Curby, suit has been filed in the Circuit Court by the Union Trust Co. to have the will construed and the powers and duties of trustees under it defined. The Union Trust Co. is one of the trustees. Clarence E. Curby, Mrs. Mary E. Calnane and others are named as defendants. Joseph L. Curby died March §8, 1904 Among his bequests were $50,000 to each of his three grandsons, Joseph L. Cur- by Jr., Clarence E. Curby and Kennett S. Curby, which were, however, to be held in trust by the Union Trust Co., the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and the St Louis Trust Co. until the grandsons were 35 years old. Got $25,000 When 21. The will provided that if either died before reaching that age, his share should go to the residuary legatees, Mrs. Anna Curby, wife of the testa- tor; Clarence E. Curby, his son, and Joseph L. Curby Jr., his grandson. The latter was not to receive his share as a residuary legatee until he was 30 years old, but there was a bequest of $25,0u0 which he received when he was 21. It was following the receipt of this bequest that his lavishness of expendi- ture won for him the title of ‘‘Tallyho Kid.,”’ He died Nov. 1907, leaving a will. in which he bequeathed his estate to his mother, Mrs. Calnane of 1407A North Grand avenue. She made a demand on the Union Trust Co., and a demand was also made by Clarence E. Curby, son of Joseph L. Curby. 99 wey

Y LEADERS PLAN 0) ASK BRYAN 10 WITRDRAW La. a. sf Effort Being Made to Have Request Placed Before Him by Friends Today.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Renewed ef- forts are being made here with a view of substituting some more desirable can- didate for William J. Bryan. Attempts are being made to have this proposition squarely presented to Mr. Bryan when he arrives here today. It is to be put forward merely as a suggestion, or re- quest, and not with a threat that he will otherwise be defeated for the nomi- nation. Democrats Interviewed. William F. Sheehan of New York and Ex-Senator James Smith of New Jer- séy came over Friday and have been busy seeing all Democratic politicians who have been suspected of thinking that some other man would be prefer- able to Bryan. These are all -being urged to wait upon Mr. Bryan and ask him to step aside in the interest of party harmony and success. Henry Watterson performed a little missionary work in the same direction during the two days he spent here. He frankly admitted that it is now too late to prevent Mr. Bryan from ob- taining the nomination, and nothing can be accomplished except by persuasion. Plan Not Working Well. Democratic politicians here are noi taking kindly to the suggestions ad- vanced by Messrs. Sheehan and Smith. It is not believed that any of those requested to do so will see Mr. Bryan and advise him to withdraw from the race and leave a clear field for somes other candidate. A large proportion of senators and representatives who do not personally care for Mr. Bryan and be- lieve some other man would have bet- ter chances of election, represent con- stituancies friendly to Bryan and dare not do otherwise than declare them- selves favorable to him.

Maude Alene Harden Accused So- ciety Paper Editor of Cruelty. St. Louis friends of Mrs. Maude Alene Harden are writing and wiring to her their congratulations on the successfy] termination of her su® for divorce from Pergival E. Harden of New York, pub- lisher and cditor of the Club Fellow, a society paper. Interest in the suit was heightened by the fact that Mrs. Harden formerly lived in St. Louis and is the sister of Mrs. James Hannerty, wife of a well- known St. Louis -heatrical and adver- tising man. Mrs. Hannerty was the principal witness at the trial of her tention suit in New York. She told of Harden's cruelty and said that while on a boat bound for Macki- nac Island in 1906, Harden, in her pres- ence, choked his wife and struck her head against the wall. She said that Harden frequently flourished a long knife. The beauty of Mrs. Harden and Mrs. Hannerty created a sensation when they appeared in court. Dies Reading Bible to His Seon.

JAIL TERM REMITTED

Kansas City Sentence Ends One of Most Important Cases in Country.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2.—George L. Thomas, a freight broker of New York City, and L. E. Taggart, his clerk, pleaded guilty in the United States Dis- trict Court here today to the charge of conspiring to pay rebates. Judge Smith McPherson then fined Thomas $7000 and Taggart $4909, omitting the Jail sen- lence. Both defendants were in court, and, after sentence was passed, checks cov- ering the fines were tendered and ac- cepted by the Judge. ‘This ends the case against these men. It was one of the _most important rebate cases ever de- sided in this country, and the Jail sen- lence, which was remitted today, was be first sentence of imprisonment ever passed for a similar offense. Cases Were Appealed. The fines assessed against the pack- mg companies on a rebating charge were affirmed April 29 last, by the Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Paul. The Burl- ington case, which also was appealed, is still pending. When the case of Thomas and Tag- gart was called before Judge McPher- son this morning, Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, Mo., general solicitor of ‘he Burlington Railway, appeared for the defendants. Mr. Spencer entered a piea of guilty on behalf of Thomas and Taggart and addressed the Court briefly, reviewing the case. “These defendants,’ he said, ‘“‘were tried, convicted and sentenced, more than a year ago on a charge of con- spiracy to pay rebates. The cases were appealed and also reversed by the Court of Appeals, though there was lit- tle to Indicate a successful defense, and we have concluded to plead guilty and trust to the wisdom and fairness of this honorable court in the light of all the circumstances surrounding the case, to impose only such punishment as is com- mensurate with the offense committed. “The agreement on which the charge was based was inthe form of a written eontract, renewed annually, the first of these contracts being made in 1902, long prior to the existence of any law on the subject of rebates. It necessarily follows, therefore, that no conspiracy was contemplated in the beginning. ~ ff the agreement ever ripened’ into the trime of conspiracy it was because of the new law ma bates: a orime which was not so at theggtime the’ agree- ment was made. Henee, 1. Maye al-. ways felt the injustive;o# charging the defendants with the crime_of ‘conspira- cy, but in these times When it’ often seems necessary to charge in order to eonvict of any crime against the Gov- ernment, we find it best to bow to the inevitable. Jail Sentence Imposed. “It is true, Your Honor imposed a jail pentence at the first trial, and if mere restraint of liberty had been the only question involved these men would have preferred | the confinement of 4a few months in jail to the mental torture of suspense for nearly two years. If they in fact were guilty of conspiracy, they necessarily had co-conspirators. They have been made to atone for the sins of the many and the punishment al- borne by them has vindicated the w in that it has caused the universal compliance therewith.’’ Thomas, with his clerk, L. B. Tag- gart, was indictd in December, 196, charged with conspiring with Barton Bros., wholesale shoe merchants of Kansas City, to pay rebates on the lat- ter firm’s shipments. In the trial of the case it was brought out that Thomas had also agreed to secure rebates for other merchants. They were found guilty June 22, 196. Thomas, as the principal, was fined $6000 and sentenced to serve four months in jail. and Tag- gart was fined $4000 and sentenced to gerve three months in jail. The verdict was reversed on the ground that the lower Court had failed to instruct the jury on the presumption of the inno- eence of the defendant.

WEDS, USING STEP-FATHER’S NAME; RECORDS ARE CHANGED Clerk’s Mother’s First Husband Is Said to Be Wealthy—Son Establishes Claim. An affidavit recording the marriage of Frank C. Stockton and Lillian May James, March 17, 1902, was filed at Clayton Friday. Stockton, who for years has been known as Frank C. Rader, is the son of C. C. Stockton of St. Louls. In November, 1888, C. C. Btockton was divorced from his wife, who “afterwards married Dr. John M. Rader, 342 Lucas avenue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2%.—Great Britain demantis the body of Robert Caldwell, who testified in the Druce case in Lon- don, and was afterward indicted on a charge of perjury. Caldwell has been ill at his home on Staten Island. The counsel for the British Ambassador ap- peared before United States Commis- sioner Alexander yesterday and de- manded, under the treaty between the two countries, that Caldwell be pro- duced in court without further adjourn- ment of the application for extradition. Commissioner Alexander stated that, owing to the inclement weather, he would not insist on Caldwell’s appear- ance today, but adjourned the hearing until Tuesday, intimating that if Cald- well was not in court that day he would be brought to Manhattan in an ambulance and placed in a hospital in the custody of the Government until such time as he was able to appear for a hearing. Caldwell testified in the hearing of the Druce case in London that Druce and the Duke of Portland were one and the same and that he superintended the supposed burial of Druce, the coffin containing a roll of lead, instead of a body. The opening of the grave showed that the coffin contained a body 'which answered the description of Druce. Woman Tried for Perjury. LONDON, Jan. 2%.—Miss Mary Robin- son, daughter of an oe planter, was put on trial today on a charge of perjury, as a result of her testimony that she Knew the Duke of Portland and that Charles Dickens had told her that Thomas C. Druce was the Duke of Portiand and that Druce himself ad- mitted as much. Despite the assertion of her attorney that she was of un- sound mind, her trial was’ ordered to proceed. George Hollamby Druce, claim- ant to the Portland title, today made public correspondence in which he seeks Government aid in finding letters sent to him by Miss Mary Patterson, an American woman, which have fallen into the hands of a man calling himself Druce’s representative. The Patterson letters are said to have been written by Druce to Miss Patterson’s mother and to have admitted Druce’s dual per- sonality. AMERICAN GUNBOAT SENT TO PROTECT INTERESTS IN HAYTI Part of Object Is Also to Prevent Spread of Revolution to Santo Domingo. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The United States gunboat Paducah left New Or- leans today for St. Marc, Hayti, to pro- tect American interests and be within call in case the revolution spreads into Santo Domingo. The gunboat Eagle is now patrolling the coast from St. Marc to Gonaives. The City of Port de Paix is in the hands of revolvtionists, according to United States Minister Furniss’ dis- patches from Port au Prince, and Hay- tien government officials, terrorized, have taken refuge at the American consulate. Although the American interests in- volved are not extensive, close watch is being kept on the progress of the up- rising because if disturbances oceur across the Santo Domingan border the United Stateg.. would be,placed in an embarrassing” situations jrenfave ad- jus*ment of the fivancial affairs of the latter government with foreign credi- tors has just been cospipleted> awl the Slightest disturbance ‘would probably affect this.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2%.—Suit for divorce filed today by Prof. Willard K. Clem- ent, formerly of Northwestern Univer- sity, against Alice C. Clement, has startled Evanston and North Shore aca- demic and social circles. Mrs. Clement's desertion of her husband is declared by the professor's friends to be another case of the artistic temperament yearn- ing for.a career. Mrs. Clement, who is handsome, has Cecided musical talent; she wanted to cvltivate it, and she decided she could do better alone. Jan. 1, 1906, she left her home in Evanston, telling the pro- fessor she had no intention of return- ing. Prof. Clement’s attorney declares Clement has desired a reconciliation with his wife and that there were no specific reasons why they should not be reconciled except Mrs. Clement’s in- clination toward continuing her career.

Judge Williams of the Juvenile Court ordered Bernice Chappel, the 11-year-old daughter of Mrs. M. L. Chappel, com- mitted to the House of Good Shepherd for an indefinite period Saturday.

WILSON, A Neglected Name. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Why not name the new school in honor of Alex- ander McNair? This man should not be forgotten. He was General in the War of 1812. was the first Governor of the State of Missouri, and was a mem- ber of the first School Board. There is a scheol named in honor of every member of the first School Board except Alexander McNair, so-let us have the new school named in honor of one of our most noble men. G. W. H., Old St. Louis. All Good Americans. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to a letter in your People’s Column sug- gesting that “St. Patrick’s parade’’ be called the “Catholic parade,’’ why don’t people forget their nationalities and give a few real good ‘“‘patriotic pa- rades.’’ First, it’s an Irish parade, then a Swiss parade, then a German parade, c. What our city and country needs is no racial or sectarian parades, but a few good American parades, ‘vith plenty of American flags. J. M. DONNELL. 4503 St. Ferdinand street. Faultfinders. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Did you ever stop to think that this country wag created by faultfinders? George Washington was a faultfinder, so were all those who signed the Decla- ration of Independence. And as proof that they an- ticipated faultfinders would be coming after, they handed each and every one of us a ballot. Abraham Lincoln was a faultfinder. In fact, the best in this country was created by faultfinders, and our esteemed President today has aiscovered a few faults, and our deplorable conditions today have not been brought about by faulffinders, but by the “per- fectly content.”” “How many of you would be will- ing to go and live in an other country?” Fancy a question like this being put to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. FAULTFINDER. Medieval Methods. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to commend the timely truths contained in your editorial on the subject of that religious per- secution, better known as Sunday law legislation, which even some sensible and otherwise fair-mind- ed people favor. People cannot be made religtous by law. The thumbscrew and the rack were the methods of the medieval religious fanatics to bring people to Christ, but they were not the methods of the meek and lowly Nazarene. The entire sepa- ration of church and state is one of she fundamental principles of thise republic, and has long made it a Mecca of the religiously oppressed of all lands. BURT F. ORDWAY. Polk, Mo. Stenographers as Housekeepers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I do not think there is any stenographer who would refuse to marry the right man if she were asked, but I will admit that very few of them would be foolish enough to propose to a young man, no matter how much she loved him. Of course, they would not accept any Tom, Dick or Harry who hap- pened to ask them to spend their lives with them. As far as stenographers not knowing how to keep house, and girls who stay home making fhe best wives, would say that I know of severa] instances where girls have been employed as ‘iousegiris, or who have been ‘‘Jadies of leasure,” and when they marry and have homes of their own, their homes eould not come within a mile of cleanliness with the homes of the once-upon-a-time stenographers. EXPERIENCED. Honor for the Principals. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why all this hubbub about naming the new High School. There may be no particular objections to naming it for Robert EB. Lee or some other outside celebrity, but I believe if the School Board would appoint a committee to look over the markers of the graves in Bellefontaine and other cemeteries they would have no trouble to find names of many loyal St. Lautsans well worthy of this honor. It ‘is very proper to honer the worthy dead, but why not apply this also to the deserving living? Only recently our honorable School Board was in position to honor one of the old principals by promotion to the place made vacant by the death of Mr. Foster. Among the old principals are men who labored long and faithfully, and to whom must be attributed in part, at least, the reputed high standing of our public schools, and among them must certainly have been someone who could have filled the position with credit, But a young man who had never had any experience with primary grade work, and had been connected with out schools but five years Was made Aggistant Su- perintendent. Why did not the honor go to the more deserving ? BR. FATR.

THE NEW EAST LYNNE, by Americ a’s Greatest Emotional Actress, Written Expressty for the Post-Dispatch and lllustrated by Penrhyn Stanlaws.

CHAPTER VI. Relden Returns. NE morning as the family sat at Q breakfast the doctor glanced hur- riedly over the headlines of his paper and while Daphne poured a sec- ond cup of coffee for him, “Young Mr. Kelth,” as the professor invariably called the new baby, tied securely in his high chair, seized that moment of freedom from a mother’s restraining and guiding hand, and clutching his spoon like a club, with gurgles of de- light he first beat the empty air with it, then. made vague, unsuccessful passes at his open mouth, and finally plunged ‘the’ spoon aimlessly into the milky contents of his small porringer. “Here, you, professor, ‘‘You need to be.sent away for a good lot of target practice before you are turned loose at the table again!’’ And Olive laughingly interrupted with, “I don’t know about that, pro- fessor. It seems that baby’s aim at your shirt front was entirely success- ful,” Daphne-May, smali peacemaker, laid a hand on the old man’s arm, saying: “Please, grandad, he's so little! When he cemes big like me he _ will know right: where his own mouf is and will put all his breakfast in it and not spoil anybody’s shirt front any more.”’ ““W—well,”’ replied the old man, doubt- ingly, “if you réally believe he will eventually know where to find his mouth, perhaps we had better not send him away for target practice without giving him a fair chance.” At which the loving little maid ran around to kiss her small brother and tell him “Not to be afraid; he wasn't goin’ to be sent away.” Suddenly the doctor, who had break- fasted In the absent-minded silence now habitual with him, paused in the very act of rising to say: “Ob, by the way, Daphne, at the club last night I made an engagement for you today at 4 o'clock. I came near forgetting it al- together.”’ “An engagement?’ she repeated sur- prisedly. ‘‘An efigagement with whom?” “With Belden. I told him you would @ajoy a drive behind his really spiendid ‘four.’ " “Oh, oh!" gasped Olive, ‘‘how heaven- ly delightful!”’ “Huh! You need not rejoice,”” frowned the doctor. “You are not included In the invitation.” “Bul!” she cried petulanily, clasping and unclasping her hands, © “Daphne can't go without someone to play pro- priety 7” “Ath! perhaps you will be surprised then to learn that Mr. Belden himself supplies the necessary chaperone in the person of his aunt, Mre. Hartley Dun- hat..—the small party being completed, I believe he said, by the presence of Mr. Wyatt.” A slow color stained the warm white- ness of Daphne's ‘ace as she said: ‘It ia, I think, Philip. both unwise and in- considerate to make a positive engage- ment for another person without ascer- taining whether it is agreeable or even possibile. if you by chance had pledged me for tomorrow instead of today the -, position would have been very em- _ barrassing te us all. as I could not have fulfilled your promise.” “And why not, pray?’ he inquired. “Because Friday is my reading day for my poor people, who expect me as as the day dawns,” | t, those old things that you all your pocket money on?’ th Olfve, “A lttle tobacco or anuf!, a little tea now and then,” amiled Dephne. “You «are MOL Complimeniing Philip's gener: sity when you think my allowance Mr. Keith!’’ yoared the |

“Well, if you'd sacrifice a ride on the top of a fine private coach for the sake of a few grumpy, complaining old peo- ple’s wishes, you’re a greater fool than I took - ou for!” “Olive!”’ sharply interrupted the pro- fessor. “If you cannot respect my granddaughter’s wifehood and mother- hood, try at least to remember that she is your hostess!’’ Daphne bent over baby Philip, while the waitress, rattling in starch, helped untie him. The doctor stared at the professor, then shrugged his shoulders slightly. and turned to take his hat and Nagy from Page. But little Daphne- ay cried, “Oh, let me, Page—please let me!"’ took the articles from his trem- bling old hands and herself presented them to her father, who said: “Thank you, Page!” and passed into the hall; while the child cried distressfully, “You didn’t kiss me, papa!”’ “Oh!” he answered, surprigedy: “Why, I thought you were aaa very seldom kiss,h Ore ies bit a | nonseree thtat. Sex -- ap *May a-gurgle with la Oe, ad th 5 Her father Kissed “her tenderly and started for the door, when fthe little voice again rose distressfully. ‘‘Papa! oh, papa! you're forgettin’..Daphne- May’s pretty mamma and baby bruff- r;”" er: At which he turned toward his wife, standing now at the foot of the stairs, with baby Phil in her arms, and pass- ing his arm about her shoulders he kissed the baby, then, catching the watchful eye of Daphne-May, he brushed his wife’s cheek with his lips, and said, “I hope you'll enjoy your ride. It’s a mighty fine turnout.” “T would more enjoy a ride with you in the one-horse regular professional turnout.”’ she answered him, honestly. He replied, hurried, “Ah, but I have no time to drive about’ with women—too many calis to make,’ and --s off and into his waiting buggy. Daphne's face was calm enough, but that asked for kiss. so carelessly given, had set a hard tightness in her throat that made speaking to Tena and Clutterbuck and Mattie, the waitress, a difficult task. To her own room Olive had followed her, saying, “‘The professor thinks I owe you an apology.’’ “That is quite unnecessary,’’ answered Daphne, a bit wearlly. “That’s what I told him, was only using a common, every-day figure of speech. One often says. ‘I'm not such a fool as I look,’ or. ‘He’s a bigger fool than I thought him.’ It is a habit of speech, that’s all. I had no intention of calling you a fool. Say, little one,” she cried to Daphne-May, “we'll have a big game of romps while mamma’s out, giving the afternoon promenaders a treat?’’ “Oh, will it be Robinson Crusoe?’ in- ouired the child. “Please aay yes. Greatdad has got a big round run by his bed that'll make a lovely island, and if vou don’t wart to play Man Friday, baby bruffer will do, ‘cause he can't talk, anyway.

It might get . fall or .an injury of some sort, and we would never forgive ourselves—one for the lending. the other for the bor- rowing.’ Prompt to the moment the four-jn- hand. with rattle and roll and prance, wae brought up sharply before the old house in the square. Mr. Belden had “ome for Daphne frst, that he might have a few precious moments alone with her before he picked up his aunt and Willie Wyatt for the drive. With the men standing at the leaders’ heads. he descended and, ca ng some white- napered — mounted the old stone steps and rang the bell. As Page bowed him into the drawing room Mrs. Kelth descended the stairs Belden's eyes swert over her costume swift approbation. He had » and perfect taste for costum- ing. for all the chiffons. fulpettes and fewnals heloved of women, and pro one CASTORIA For Infante and Children.

Lap itzeu|ie | occas was more contemptuous than he of thai fallacious old assertion, ‘‘Beauty wun- adorned is adorned the most.’ And no one knew better than: he what aids mich backgrounds and delicate acces- sories are to great natural charms. His swift, appraising eyes estimated the cost of her entire outfit as less than a rare-handed sunshade of one of the women of his own set, and yet the effect as a whole on this imperially lovely woman satisfied even his exact- ing taste and flattered his pride. As he held her two gloved hands a delicious moment he caught his lip be- neath sharp teeth to check the quiver he knew was there. then turned and opened one box, taking out a _ lovels knot of yellow roses. Pleasure began to send into hér black-lashed sapphire eyes. “Oh!"" she smiled, “how did chance to choose yellow roses?’ “As you suggest—by mere chance, of course,’ he answered with gentle Sa- tire. Then, waving his’ hand at the pre- vailing Colors @f the room and touch- ing a fold of her yellow gown, he added: “When a lady shows her preference for a color no more plainly than this it would indeed be surprising that a friend should observe that preference and act upon it. Mistress Keith, you Jook like a pale pink flower in a field of ripe wheat.” He drew a couple of crystal headed pins from the flower box and offered them for her use, watching her arch her haughty throat after the manner of a proud young horse, in her effort to place properly the flowers without the aid of a glass. Swathed in soft corn color, the draped bodice of her favor gave to all her gracious curves a suggestion of the statuesque. There were touches of pink in the crushed rose crown of picture hat, a lining of soft coral pink in the fluffy sunshade of corn- colored net and a long handle of pale coral—that if only an imitation was at least perfect¢in tint—and all color received that final chic accent of black beloved by the French, in a few. pert knots of velvet ribbon. . He was sudderly aware that the sight of that imitation coral handle hurt him, as the sight of a child with- out shoes might hurt another with a more tender heart. He looked curi- ously at the lovely creature before him, wondered what a life of refined pleasure would mean to her? A swift, passionate longing came upon him to lift her high in the public eye; to sur- round her with all the princely ac- cessories that wealth and art and adoring love would command. He thought of her midnight triumphal passage through foreign opera houses; saw her at fetes champetres in palace gardens, proving beneath the white light of open day her claim to a world-moving beauty. He longed to sive—to serve! And suddenly real- ized, with amazement, that in all this imagining there had actually been no thought of self—and he reddened at the discovery. Daphne had opened the other pack- age and found {ft contained a box, of bonbons for Miss Marr, and a small one, gay with tiny ribbon-tied china dolls, for Daphne-May. She shook her head, and he started up, alert again, to say: “Only pure rock marrons laces Nothing colored, I assure you. let her have them.” : She summoned Page and sent the boxes to Miss Marr and Miss Daphne May, with Mr. Belden’s compliments. Then, turning to him, and noticing a Slight abstraction, as she picked up her sunshade, she lightly asked: ‘Were you then sleeping with your eyes open?" . “Pardon me," he answered. not sleep- Ing: but, well, dreaming with my eyes ‘one LOU indulge in the habit, per- lints of light ph you candy and a few for the little one, Please - She said, sharply. “I dream no more—I have lost the power!"" She swept to the door, catching up_ her dust cloak in passing through the hall. As Belden gathered up and drew the lines over the backs of his powerful black wheelers and mannerly bright bay leaders, he remarked: “We are a trifle late for the intended run over the Long Island roads. so we must content ourselves with a little jog through the park and out to Claremont. and if you have a Christian-like desire to be very good and kind you will make the tea for me out on the plaza overlooking the Hudson.” She smiled doubtfully. “Your other cane may not share your yearning for “On the contrary, wild horses could not hold Mr. Wyatt back from your brew. and Aunt Dunham. who thinks imitation the sincerest flattery, would joyfully repeat my order were it for Sage Or Sassafras. So, Mistress Keith. you will head my table for once at There was a tone of triumph in his

j voice, and she raised proud eyes to his face, half expecting to find the ex- pression she had so often seen there in the first months after his return from Europe—an expression partly sensual, partly sinister, that had the power to half attract her, even while it repelled, but there was only admiring courtesy in his slow-dark eyes. At the moment of checking tha rhyth- mic beat of 16 iron-shod hoofs before his own great house, where Mrs. Dun- ham and Mr. Wyatt awaited him, he looked down upon the proud beauty of the woman at his side and thought with what gracious dignity she could reign in a home like that. And a swift de- sire came to him to see the woman for whom his longing was intensified by the Knowledge that she was the last passion of his life—ro see her moving through the great rooms of his splendid home., To see the white hands touch- ing the yellowish kéys of-the noble old grand piano, looked down upon by the life-size portrait of his mother, with the fixed smile upon her Ips, that was so flatly contradicted by the infinite sadness of her eyes. A new desire was a thing to welcome. “By Jove, it would give him something to plan for!’’ He was at his statelv, courteous best as he entertained his small party, white Mrs. Dunham, splendid in olive green, polka-dotted silk and much ecru lace, a girlish hat o. straw with pink roses crowning her snowy water waves, ex- changed looks of amazement and in- quiry with Willie Wyatt, wondering who the lovely stranger really was and where she came from. But Wyatt, who was quick at puiting this and that to- gether looked long at the intense sap- phire blue of Daphne’s eyes, and re- called that strange, curt, cabled order anent the making up of that yachting party, “‘For God’s sake, no blue eyes!”’ And he began to understand. To the woman of secure position in the highest social circle of her time and place there are few things more ob- noxious than the necessity of extending a courtesy to an outsider whose beauty, charm and breeding pass for naught s0 long as she moves outside the magic circle drawn about that set. Stanley Belden’s will was his aunt’s law, it is true, but many of us obey the law with- out loving it, and Mrs. Hartley Dun- ham had yfelded with a distinctly chill- ins grace to her nephew's strange whim for entertaining some mere doctor's wife. But the distinction of Mrs. Keith’s bearing, more even than her unusual beauty, had somewhat reduced the frostiness of Mrs. Dunham's wel- come, and on the piazza at Claremont, when, at the arrival of the tea equip- age Daphne had made a little depre- cating gesture toward the elder woman she had graciously announced: “My hands have lost some of their steadiness and my nephew,’ Belden, can’t endure the rattling of the cups, so, pray, Mrs. Keith, make our tea for us.”’ Belden seemed wrapt in dreamy rap- ture, to his very finger tips he was con- scious of Daplhne’s nearness. Her usual manner was one of proud melancholy, today glints of light were rising in her eyes from sheer pleasure. A new vivac- ity in her expression was like a new charm to his adormg eyes. Wyatt, watching him, saw and read even his claiming smile, and a little sneer of comprehension came upon his mouth, a sneer that slowly faded, as in turn he studied Daphne, and, suddenly shaking his monocle from his eye, he muttered beneath his mustache, “Belden’s Water- loo, bv Jove!’ The chat, feather light, had turned upon colors, and Mrs. Dunham was say- ing, “I can’t understand how Princess Alexandra can s0 successfully wear mauve. She is @ blue-eyed woman, too, and the color kills all the heajthy pink tints of one’s flesh, leaving most people as yellow as saffron.”’ ‘“‘Mauve, mauve?” said Belden. “Why should not the Princess wear it suc- cessfully? I am sure it is a most deli- cate and lovely tint!’’ “Ah! cried Daphne, “you are caught

tripping once, Mr. Belden. You have in mind the faint pinkish lavender color We call mauve. The Princess wears the royal purple that the English justly, I believe, name mauve, and she must pos- sess an exquisite complexion to dare “Well,’’ inquired Wyatt mournfully, “T’d like to "buen how a fellow tells lavender and mauve apart?" “Very easily,’”’ laughed Daphne. “A gentleman might be induced to wear lavender. trousers, but no power on earth or in heaven above could force him to accept mauve ones. In ‘that way we mayalways tell one from the other,”’ “Well,” said Mrs. Dunham, “any color fs green in every possible shade; sage, or olive, or emerald, or willow. When I was young I was devoted to Nile or. water green. How one does cling to the favorite color.’’ “‘Alas,"”” smiled Daphne, “I can’t cling to my best loved color, because I be- lieve it to be as much a lost secret as is the famous Bleu-de-Roi of Se- vres. I’ve possessed no gown of it myself, but in my mother’s and grand- mother’s time, peaeh-blossom pink, in satin and silk, was Sr to be the acme of fashion; and thé Cuylens and the Lawtons, who ruffled it at Savannah then with the test, trailed their peach- blossgm pink satins right royally.”’ “Savannah! Savannah?’ exclaimed Mrs. Dunham. ‘“‘Lawtons — Cuylers? Why, I was first bridemaid to Daphne and when she married a Cuyler. You can't possibly be’’——~— But Daphne, with voice, broke in: “Oh, then, you are Antoinette, grand- aunt’s Northern school chum, and handsomest bridemaid! I know you now. Grandaunt loved you so! She had a little miniature of you in a locket, and your hair was braided in broad, basket braids quite wonderfully, and all your own!”’ Belden smiled a bit maliciously, for he knew too well his aunt’s white wa- ter velvet rested alternate davs o° a blue and velvet covered headblock. But Mrs. Dunham had taken no heed, only asked in bewildered tones: “And vou my dear, you are?” sig “T am Daphne Cuvler Keith, born tn Savannah,”” she made smiling answer.

real excitement, laid her hand on Dapn ne’s, exclaiming: ‘“‘My chum, Daphne. Baird's niece! Oh, my dear, my dear!” Suddenly a memory came to Belden The picture of his mother was painted in a gown of that very peach blosson color Daphne had spoken of. He saw ee and in rising from the table said: “Aunt Dunham, we must coax Mrs. Keith to come to luncheon some day soon to see if mother’s painted gowr is not of the true peach-blossom pink.” And Aunt Dunham saved herself ¢ very bad quarter of an hour by he hearty approval of the suggestion—for her nephew had been well aware of that chilly first greeting of his guest. As they rolled impressively homeward Daphne turned grateful eyes on Belden, saying: “You have given me a delightful aft- ernoon! Yet I was ungrateful enough to be vexed with the doctor because he had made the engagement without my knowledge or consent.’’ “Yet. it was a bit autocratic, but I could not quarrel with my own g£00d luck. I invited him, but he declined Said the driver would -cover his after- noon office hours, or something.”’ Daphne smiled a slow smile. *““No,"’ she said, ‘‘his afternoon office hours are not so long as that, but he many be preparing some contribution to medical literature. It took me a long time to realize how completely Dr. Keith was absorbed in his own life. For a long time I hoped to prevail on him to take some siight interest in social life, but he can’t be detached even tem- porarily from the scientifie interests that enter into his very nature. It is a bit hard on a wife socially inclined, yet there is nothing so nobly becoming to a man as work,” she added, loyally. Ever: as she spoke they came wheel- ing about a@ curve in the park drive- way straight in the face of a doctor’s buggy, and in it, sitting well back in a corner, sat Dr. Keith, with laughter on his face. while Olive Marr sat at his side, talking fourteen to the dozen and gesticulating, as was her. manner. Belden saluted with his whip. A shrill “Oh!” escaped Olive Marr’s lips— but Daphne, with haughty head held high, stared straight forward. ‘“I~—er—I said that we would drive tg on Long Island,” murmured Bel- en. “So I perceive.” answered Daphne dryly, and spoke no more. : She saw but one thing, her husband's face. She heard but one thing, her husband's voice, saying, with a touch of sharpness, “‘I have no time to drive about with women—too many calls to make!” And yet e he was, full of gaiety and laughter, loitering through the park with Olive Marr at his side. Yes, he had been told the coaching party was for the Long Island trip, hence this unexpected meeting with the “slave of science’’ and his young ward —for whose sake he could find time for driving in spite of his crowding profes- sional calls. Thinking of the petty treachery, a cold contempt came upon her face. On ar- riving at the house, she murmured a few conventional words of courteous leave-taking. As Belden stood at her side, waiting for the opening of the door, he looked down with tormented eyes and breathed: grand been killed!’’ A little fantastically she answered: “Then I may expect a train of mourn- ing days to follow it. Poor, dead day! It would have been better not to have known it all!’’ FE iden, with a sort of choke in his voice, exclaimed: ‘‘Don’t—don’t!"’ Then lifted his hat, and saw her pass into the hallway. As he drove away rage, swift, blind- ing as_a black squall came down upon him. When he had first returned and fo:nd Daphne’s beauty as he had pre- dicted it, fully ected, flawless, in her moving pares we he had somewhat lost his head, and more than once he had betrayed too plainiy @ passion that possessed him. Yet it had always come to this: Had he been reduced to humiliati silence by her cold, sur- prised disdain, or wounded to the sou! by_her blank indifference.

BILL PAPKE IS E APOLLO OF HE PRIZE RING A.

i 4 Illinois Thunderbolt a Physical Model That Seulptors Would Not Even Change.

BY ROBERT EDGREN. ILLIE PAPKE is the Apollo of the fighters. Physically he is a model. He is built toes to the top of his head. There isn’t a weak spot in his anatomy or a line of his make-up that the most critical of sculp- tors would care to have changed. For a 21-year-old lad his devel- opment is remarkable. Papke weighs today just 156 pounds stripped. He is not ‘*fine,’’ for he did not have to Boston a few days ago. Papke stands 5 feet 834 inches. His reach is 71 inches. This is only an inch less than the reach of Jim Corbett, former heavy- weight champion, who is just king of the middleweights. The “Iilinols Thunderbolt’ has arms and hands that are perfectly adapted to the fighting game. He has great forearms, and fists as big and strong as John L. Sullivan's. Much of his truly remarkable hitting power comes from these fists. And he can hit harder than any other middleweight in the world. He usually wins his fights with a clean knockout in the first, second or third round. ] to become a fighter: “I’ve been fighting less than two years,’ he said. ‘I fought my first main event a year ago last November. I knew Jim Barry a couple of years ago. That was before he ever thought of fighting men like Langford. He was boxing and training in my town and he liked to ride around with me and hel- me unload coal. I began boxing with him «@ little and helping him train. I used to box and then give him a rub- down. One day another friend of mine had to draw out of a match down in He asked me if I'd like to ere and fight for him. I or fun, and knocked my man out in 30 seconds with only a couple of punches. I thought that was pret- ty easy, and so I changed my profes- sion. It’s come pretty easy ever t (Ger ASKED Papke how he happened Papke was born in Illinois, of Ger- man parents. “‘They say German scrap- for the fighting game from his train down to meet Stanton in five inches taller than the new pers don't like the gaff,’’ he told me, “‘but I seem to like it. The harder a fight I get thé more fun it is.”’ APKE’S description of the blow he Pp has made famous is interesting. “I noticed a lot of fighters using a ‘loop’ punch,”’ nothing more than a slap. he says, “but it was I thought there ought to be some way of making it a dangerous punch, so I went to work and studied it out. I began to kriock fighters down with it, and now it is often good for a knockout. I twist around and get a free uppercut with my right and at the same timé punch the other fellow’s head over into the punch with my left. That’s my best blow. I beat Kelly to a pulp with it. He couldn’t get away from it to save his life.’’ B of Terry McGovern at his best. He is just as great a fighter among the middleweights as Terry was years ago among the little men. He fights like a fury, baring h'‘s teeth ina grin of actual pleasure. He likes the game—no doubt of that. His sturdy head hardly feels the effect of the hard- est blow. Papke is going back to Illinois. He intended taking on a match here, but decided not to risk wasting time by waiting for a bout that might be inter- fered with by the authorities. In the West Mr. Papke can keep very busy as long as the middleweights hold out. ‘He intends to fight Hugo Kelly again and settle the question of superiority for all time.

FORWARD PASS UP 4 i} “FOR DISCUSSION) HAVE AN ANSWER Football Rules Committee to De-|National League President Declares

cide on Any Changes in College Game. NEW YORK, Jan. 2%.—No/, radical changes in the rules, with the possible exception of the forward pass _ rule, have been decided upon, it is learned by the Football Rules Committee, which met here in annual session to- day. It was stated yesterday that no an- nouncement concerning changes in the rules would be made until the final ad- journment of the committee. The present officers were re-elected as foliows: Chairman, Prof. L. ‘ Dennis, Cornell; secretary, E. K. Hall, Dartmouth; editor of rules, Walter Camp, Yale. In executive session yesterday after- noon the committee took up considera- tion of the forward pass rule. Sec. Hall Suggested that the committee compro- mise on last year’s rule, which provides a distance penalty on failure of the pass on the first and second downs. He ap- oved a distance penalty for only the rst down. There were other sugges- ns, and it was decided to appoint a spr oemmittce of three to fraft a propo- sition. WANT WOMEN GOLFERS HERE Effort Made to Secure Western Tourney for St. Louis. Miss Grace Semple, woman golf cham- pion of St. Louis, has filed a formal application with the Western Golf As- Geciation at Chicago asking the Woman Western championship tournament for the 8t. Louis Country Club thts coming summer. The Western open champion- ship tourney has already been granted to the Normandie Golf Club of this city and a atrong effort will now be exerted to bring the women golfers here also. The woman's event has never been held in any other city than Chicago and it seems doubtful if they will want to move it away this season, but Miss Semple has guaranteed # St. Louis players for the event should it be given to this city.

PULLIAM MUST

He Will Retire Feb. 24 Unless Supported.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2%.—Harry Pulliam, president of the National League, is still firm in his stand against President Powers and the minor leagues’ organization, and declares that he must be supported in his.actions or he will absolutely quit baseball. He even went so far as to set the date of his retirement should he not be upheld. He we | believes the other members of the ational Commission should stand by him in the controversy which arose about a month ago at the Cincin- nati meeting when Pulliam so forcibly denounced the National Association of Minor Leagues for blacklisting 22 play- ers and was then told that no suc blacklisting had been done. . Pulliam still believes there was some underhand work done by the minor leaguers and will demand the support of Herrmann and Johnson, the two other members of the National Commis- sion to ferret out the cause. If they refuse he will step down and out of baseball. Last night Pulliam said: ‘“T will attend the Monte Cross din- ner in this city on Feb. 24, and by that time I will know just where I stand. If I am defeated in my fight I will deliver my valedictory address at that event, which will be my last public ap- earance as,an officer of the National gue.”’ foe Millionaire’s Son a Messenger.

INCREASE MILLIONS

Total Surplus Reserves Now Amounts to $37,000,000, Which Is Largest for This Month Since 1899.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2%5.—The Evening Post in its financial issue says: “The New York banks once more re- ported an extraordinarily large gain in cash holdings. Of the $23,600,000 increase for the week, something not far from $10,000,000 must have come from what Loans also increased rather heavily, despite the week's decline on the Stock Exchange, but surplus reserves nevertheless scored ah increase of $14,400,000.

A few running to more than 4 point on one or two stocks, were is- olated instances and did not appear to reflect any general tendency, one way or the other. Taking the week's mar- ket as a whole, the five to ten point decline in the more active stocks may easily have resulted from two influ- ences—profit taking sales by specu- lators who bought during the con- fusion and hesitation of December, and realizing by pecple or institutions | Se who were hurt in the crash of last October, but who managed to cling to their holdings and await a better chance to turn them into money. ‘The distinct improvement which has been going on in the market for sound investment bonds is one of the best signs of the times. It.shows, to begin with, that the financial markets have been brought by the recent crash of speculative values into something of a situation. “What has been happening, during the past two years, was @ diversion of capital from legitimate investment into speculation.

Interest rates are at an abnormally iow figure, and still the seems to have increased in the last few weeks. Saturday’s session of the Exchange was a rather unsatisfactory one. The market was narrow, and trading was of a dull and listless character. Pricd movements were slow, with the result there was little drifting away from the opening quotations. Notwithstanding the exceptionally strong bank statement, the tone of the miarket at the close was decidedly weak. Some of the prominent issues were lift- ed sharply in the early forenoon, and this invited realizing, and many of the @ains were wiped out. A reaction in Delaware & Hudson to below Friday's close started prices downwards, but a two-point rise in Northern Pacific halted the decline. The result of the day's trading in the rails division was about a standoff as to gains and ilosses.. All the industrials higher, closed ‘Smelting making the largest gain.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The market opened steady, with prices 8 to 13 points above last night's close, inflmenced by the higher Liverpool cables and confirmation of jast night's report that the strike had been set- tled. Some prominent interests were fe ees buyers early with the South, tradin ng on th sides. Commission houses generaily . were buyers, but the demand wag not ag ve and after a slight further advance the mar- ket became quieter and although sentiment seems to favor the bull side, the bull clique is not buying and some operators express the opinion that the very fact that the em- ployers took stch a determined stand and were ‘willing to let the men go out rather than settle on their terms is an indication of less favorable trade conditions abroad, There were also some reports to the effect that the situation in» Germany is not as bright as it was early in the season.
