SENATOR SAYS CORTELYOU LOS! CASH ILLEGALL Culberson Charges New York Banks Were Aided in Speculations.

ASKS AN INVESTIGATION

Declares Wall Street Financiers Received More Than Just Share.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Senator Cul- berson of Texas, Demoeratic leader in the Senate, charged on the floor of the Senate today that Secretary of the Treasury Cartelvou had violated tlic la win six respects in his handling of the finances during the pauice. He’ demanded that the ~ecretary be called on to furnish the Senate with all correspondence between his office and the New York banks that would show whether had supplied funds to the New York banks only for relief througii them of the Western and Southern bank- ers, or for use in speculation. Secretary Cortelyou, according to Mr Culberson, violated the law by depos- iting public money in New York banks for speculative purvoses, giving them a greater share of. the funds than their combined capital permitted. With only one-sixth thé total capital of all the banks in the country the New York banks got one-third of all the pub- 4c moneys hetween August and Decenm: ber, said Mr. Culberson. They had $112,- 000,000 in December, compared with $29,- 000,000 in Southern banks. Mr. Culberson said that Secretar} Cor- telyou had also broken tite law by is- suing the Panama bonds when they were not needed for canal expenses by excluding private bidders and accept. ing only national bank bidders for the bonds by using the proceeds for the bonds for other than canal by ‘issuing 3 per cent certificates when they were not needed to meet Govern- ment expenses and by allowing banks to issue notes on these certificates in- stead of on registered bonds.

REITMAN TELLS GEN, COXEY WHAT HOBO REALLY I$ >. wr

Chicago Uplifter Enlightens Early Day Organizer of Unemployed.

TWO MEET IN PLANTERS —_—

“You Confuse ‘Tramps’ and ‘Hoboes,’” Is Charge Made to Veteran.

Gen. Jacob S. Coxey of Mount Ver- non, O., learned more about tramps in a room at the Planters Hotel Thursday morning than he did on his famous march to Washington in 1894. Dr. Ben Reitman, the hobo chieftain of Chicago, furnished the information. “The trouble with these movements of unemployed to better their condi- tion,’’ Coxey remarked, “is that the people fail to recognize that they are men honestly seeking employment and insist on regarding them as haboes.,’ Reitman Waxes Wrath. “‘Hoboes,”’ echoed Reitman with a ris- ing inflection indicative. of indignation. “Why, vou don’t seem to know what a hobo is. A hobo is a man who is tramping about looking for employ- ment.’”’ “That's derstood not the way the term is un- generally,”” retorted Coxey, warmly. ‘‘A hobo is usually classed as a gxood-for-nothing fellow who doesn’t want to work and would rather beg.’’ “Oh, you mean a tramp, not a hobo,” said Reitman disgustedly. “A tranip is a man who tramps because he likes to travel and who doesn’t want to work because it will interfere with. his tray- eling. See?’ The discussion took place in Coxey’s room at the Planters. He came to St. Louis to address a meeting of the un- employed Friday night at the invitation of a committee including Reitman, James Eads How of St. Louis and John Eilis of Boston. While waiting for How to arrive Coxey, Reitman ‘and Ptlle-dis- }- -cussed- the unemployed. Reitman only recently was savagely beaten by the Chicago police for trying to lead a pa- rade of the unemployed to the City Hall. Eills was with a party arrested in Bos- ton about a month ago for begging the Governor to help the idle. Coxey had never met either of them until Thurs- day. Coxey'’s Ideas Unchanged. The hero of the march of 1894 told Reitman and Ellis that he favored the same plan for the relief of the unem- ployed now he did when he organized his famous “petition in boots.’”’ He geeve them copies of the famous “non- interest pond biil’’ that he presented to Congress that year and Said Ne was still in favor of the Federal Government extending to all states, cities and coun- ties the same privileges it extended to national banks and that he wanted the national banks deprived of their power to issue currency. Coxey said he had no hope that the present Congress woull aid in carryiug out his plan. “Tl favor a revolution of thought that will elect a Congress that will help the people,” he said. “A favor a revoiution of the ballot,” Fills interjected, ‘‘that will establish the initiative and referendum and not make five members of the Supreme Court of the United States the bosses of the country.”’ Reitman Urges -Confiscation., ‘Revolution now on the wing” Reitman interrupted. “I do not believe in your slow methods. I am in favor of the unemployed taking work if it is not given to them. I believe that if a man sees factory and the owner won't give him @ job and let him earn enough to buy shoes, that man ‘has a right to go into that factory, make own shoes and put them on.’”’ ‘Gracious, goodness'’’ exclaimed Gen. in amazement, “J cannot sub- to any such doctrine as that. I'm I don’t want anybody to think that I would countenance for a minute such an agreement as that. That's out of the question.”’ “No, that’s wrong, Reitman, Bills. | But Rettman only laughed he still thought he was right. .. ~>— Workless March on Castile.

CORTELYOU LOS! CASH ILLEGALLY wr Culberson Charges New York Banks Were Aided in Speculations.

ASKS AN INVESTIGATION

Declares Wall Street Financiers Received More Than Jus Share.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Senator Cul- berson of Texas, Democratic leader in the Senate, charged on the floor of the Senate toddy that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou had violated the la win six respects in his handling of the finances during the panic. He' demanded that the ~ecretary be called on to furnish the Senate with al! correspondence between his office and the New York banks that would show whether he had supplied funds to the New York banks only for relief through them of the Western and Southern bank- ers, or for use in speculation. Secretary Cortelyou, according to Mr Culberson, violated the law by depos- iting public-money in New York banks for speculative purvoses, giving them a greater share of the funds than their combined capital permitted. With only one-sixth the_total capital of all the banks in the country the New York banks got one-third of all the pub- nc moneys between August and Decen: ber, said Mr. Culberson. They had $112,- 000,000 in December, compared with $29,- 000,000 in Southern banks. Mr. Culberson said that Secretar} Cor- telyou had also broken tite law by is- suing the Panama bonds when they were not needed for canal expenses by excluding private bidders and accept. ing only national bank bidders for the |bonds by using the proceeds for the ‘ponds for other than canal by ‘issuing 3 per cent certificates when they were not né@ded to meet ‘Govern- ment expenses and by allowing banks to issue notes on these certificates in- stead of on registered bonds.

TWO MEET IN PLANTERS a

“You Confuse ‘Tramps’ and ‘Hoboes,’” Is Charge Made to Veteran.

Gen. Jacob S. Coxey of Mount Ver- non, O., learned more about tramps in a room at the Planters Hotel Thursday morning than he did on his famous march to Washington in 1894. Dr. Ben Reitman, the hobo chieftain of Chicago, furnished the information. “The trouble with these movements of the unemployed to better their condi- tion,’”’ Coxey remarked, “is that the people fail to recognize that they are men honestly seeking employment and insist on regarding them as haboes.,’ Reitman Waxes Wrath. ‘*Hoboes,”’ echoed Reitman with a ris- ing inflection indicative: of indignation. “Why, vou don’t seem to know what a hobo is. A hobo is a man who is tramping about looking for employ- ment.”’ “That’s not the way the term is un- derstood generally,’’ retorted Coxey, warmly. ‘‘A hobo ts usually classed as a gxood-for-nothing fellow who doesn’t want to work and would rather beg.”’ “Oh, you mean a tramp, not a hobo,” said Reitman disgustedly. “A tranip is a man who tramps because he likes to travel and who doesn’t want to work because it will interfere with. his tray- eling. See?’’ The discussion took place in Coxey’s room at the Planters. He came to St. Louis to address a meeting of the un- employed Friday night at the invitation | of a committee including Reitman, James Eads How of St. Louis and John Kills of Boston. While waiting for How recently was savagely beaten by the Chicago police for trying to lead a pa- rade of the unemployed to the City Hall. Eills was with a party arrested in Bos- ton about a month ago for begging the Governor to help the idle. Coxey had never met either of them until Thurs- day. Coxey's Ideas Unchanged. The hero of the march of 1894 told Reitman and Ellis that he favored the same plan for the relief of the unem- ployed now he did when he organized his famous “petition in boots.” He ge@¢ge them copies of the famous “non- interest vond biil’’ that he presented to Congress that year and said lie was stil! in favor of the Federal Government extending to all states, cities and coun- ties the same privileges it extended to national banks and that he wanted the national banks deprived of their power to issue currency. Coxey said he had no hope that the present Congress woul. aid in earrying out his plan. “IT favor a revolution of thought that will elect a Congress that will help the people,’ he said. “A favor a revolution of the ballot,” Eills interjected, “that will establish the initiative and referendum and not make five members of the Supreme Court of the United States the bosses of the country.”’ . Reitman Urges Confiscation. ‘‘Revolution now on the wing” Reitman interrupted. “I do not believe in your slow methods. I am in favor of the unemployed taking work if it is not given to them. I believe that if a man sees a shoe factory and the owner won't give him @ job and let him earn enough to buy shoes, that man ‘has a right to go into that factory, make his own shoes and put them on.”’ “Gracious, goodness!" exclaimed Gen. Coxey, in amazement, “J cannot sub- scribe to any such doctrine as that. I'm no revolutionist. I don’t’ want anybody to think that I would countenance for a minute such an agreement as that. That’s out of the question.”’ “No, that’s. wrong, Reitman,’’ Kills. But Reitman only laughed and said he still thought he was right. is added 6b — Workless March on Castile.

IS IN POWER

“Missionaries” . Are. Preaching Certainty of Reversion to “Old Conditions.” ——

; Membership in the Jefferson Club is _tne best insurance a city employe can ‘ carry on his job, according to President ’ Raiph Coale of that famoug Democratic organizatjan. Democrats on the cify’s payroll—in- ; cluding policemen—are Jearning the truth | Of President Coale's dictum and are en. , Polling themselves in great numbers,. if » not altogether with enthusiasm. ' Leaders of fhe club deny, however, _ that city employes have received: hints that it would be to their advantage to have their names ‘on the club's roster _ and to possess receipts for their dues. | Claim Is Moral One. : : > ‘ hs s. - ¥ 7 ; A ‘President Coale told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that the Jefferson Club had “a moral claim” on city employes. “We feel that Democrats working for the city owe something to the club,” ‘he said. “The party’s success is due to »the club. Those who enjoy the fruits of f victory ought to be willing to share the expense and labor of achieving suc- ; cess.” 7 Then Mr. Coale said in substance that -@ card of membership in the Jefferson + Club was a sort of policy taken out on a "city employe’s job. _ Even the street laborers are expected ; _to get in line. ; Club Is Booming. » Secretary Lovelace and Mr. Coale have ‘been active in scouring the City Hall ‘ for recruits. Their campaign has had : the effect of largely increasing the club's » membership. Even those who are not yin sympathy with the-new powers in _the club agree that the organization is a _ bigger political force than it has been /at any time since Harry B. Hawes quit control] of it three years ago. Mr. Hawes ‘has regained his leadership and his for- “mer supreme command of the club's pol- | {feies. He is bringing back into the fold, ‘either by persuasion or by the ears, those city employes who left the club a ies Folk's followers succeeded to his ; dominion. _ Mayor Wells has givén at least tacit _ approval to the niissionary efforts of Mr. Coale and Secretary Lovelace. Not the least peculiar feature of the | gituation is the return of policemen to | eur at Smith , at ‘are to be Tto enroll the club. When Folk became Governor ‘there was an exodus of policemen from ‘the Democratic organization. Recently, | missionaries have been going among ‘members of the Police Department, ' preaching the certainty of a reversion to “old conditions” and the advisability ‘ of “getting inhto line.’’ H No Orders Ixnued. | Street Commissioner Travilla, Water “Commissioner Adkins and Sewer Com- * missioner Fardwell, who employ two- thirds of the persons working for St. ‘Louis, declare with positiveness that i) they have issued no orders for those a. fin their departments to joiu the club and that they would not tolerate any intimidation of thé sort. | “Any statement of .the kind is a lie,’ gaid Street Commissioner Travilla. .‘‘I have been asked to urge my employes themselves in the Jefferson } Club, but I have promptly replied that ‘I would do nothing of the kind. More- ‘over, i wouldn't let anyone else do such a thing. I don’t belong to the Jeffer- gon Club, and you can state that J

‘} never will become identified with it. ! '@on't belleve in any such entanglements. x Want to be free and fair.” Adkins Is Disinterested, _ Water Commissioner Adkins says any /employe in ifis department has the priv- lege of joining or refusing to: join the Jefferson Club. “And he needn't fear the consequences see either choice, so long as he performs ‘ef work efficiently,"’ added Mr. Ad- .“Not only has no man in this depart- “ment been told to join the Jefferson Club, but positive instructions have been * given that absolute freedom in that re- spect is insured every employe,” said 'Bewer Commissioner Fardwell.

N. BELL TIRES ADOSEVELT OUT IN 15-MILE HIKE a Leads President Across Coun- try on Muldoon Test of Endurance.

AVENGES ARMY MEN

Chief’s Order That Officers Ride Recalled by Exhaus- tion After “Stroll.”

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The regular army is revenged for the order of last fall, to its officers, to take the 15-mile Roosevelt horsemanship test. Yesterday Gen. J. Franklin Bell, chief of the general staff, beguiled the Presi- dent to William Muldoon’s 15-mile test ‘on foot. Both the President and Gen. Bell were guests after their hike, at a dinner given by Postmaster-General Meyer. Gen. Bell was fit as could be. The President was still fit—for the din- ner. But he admitted he had lost all appetite for Muldoon tests. The Presi- dent has exhibited great curiosity as to the Muldoon system of fitting out states- men for the Washington dinner season since Secretary Root and Gen. Bell took the course at White Plains. President Ignores Stories. Root, to be sure, is not fat. He was suffering from too much Monroe Doc- trine and a nervous agitation over the open door in China when he surrendered himself to the hands of the professor. But Bell is fat, or was, until he re-

Dr. Hoffmann Says Missouri Bible College Faculty Are Infidels.

Rockefeller’s Chicago University has captured the Bible Gollege of Missouri and turned it into a hotbed of heresy, says the Rev. Gustavus Hoffmann of Maplewood, in an amended answer filed Thursday in the suit by which the col- lege seeks to recover on a $5000 note. Dr. Hoffmann agreed to give the col- lege $5000 when it should have obtained other donations amounting to $50,000. In his new petition he says that reason for not turning over the money is. that instead of imparting knowledge of the Bible the college is teaching in- fidelity and is scouting the story of the Garden of Eden and the swallowing of Jonah by the whale. Calls Vhem Infidels. “The members of the faculty, Jefferson Lhaman, Charles Sharp and G. D. Edwards are critics, infidels and rationalists,’’ Says. ‘“‘Lhaman,’” he continues, not believe in Christ in the way a Christian should. He believes that the death of Christ was a mere natural phenomenon like the death of any other man. MI therefore suggest that the name of the college should be changed to ‘the Mis- souri Unitarian Theologica! Semi- nary.’ ”’ “Prof. Manford Sharp,” he says, ‘‘is a Chicago University man who gives lectures for the college. Now a profes- sor from Chicago University would not be permitted in any institution which believes in the atoning blood of Christ. When Sharp goes to Columbia, Mo.,. to lecture for the college his place at the Chicago University is taken by Prof. Robert Gentry.

y. - — - ee F ‘Prof. Biddy McCackle Says Eggology in Prairie State Will Profit Immeasurably From Fi- nancial Uplift Sought by Poulterers. ——

(From Our. Own Enterprising Nature Faker.) Neb., Feb. 6.—Prof. Biddy McCackle, who occupies the chair of eggology at the State University, is greatly elated over the efforts of the Nebraska Poultry Association to obtain ar appropriation of $6000 to aid her in She says that the science of producing, preserving and marketing eges should be classed as one of the arts. In support of this opinion she cites the lay figures in the possession of the State Statistician. While Prof. McCackle acknowledges that she is no spring chicken, she still has an abundance of energy and is de- voting herself to the betterment of the producing class from which she sprang. Expresses Vicws on Bill, When your correspondent called on Prof. McCackle, she said: “Mercy, is my comb on straight? I’m so excited about this bill for a poultry course appropriation. Yes, indeed, 1 am for it. Why should not the university factulty have a staff of hens in addition to its present equipment of old roosters? ‘‘“o-education is the thing nowadays. The time has come for hens to assert their rights, They have lay professors in the theological seminaries and lay preachers in the churches. Why should not the same system prevail in the great agricultuarl colleges? In these days when everyone has to scramble for a living why should not the egg take its proper place as a great economfc force? Why should it not rise up in all its strength and assert itself. If it does not it surely must be crushed Ege Has a Mission. “The time: has passed when the egg {s looked upon solely as an agency for — ee LIN¢ ‘OLN, her work.

FORM FOR WAR ) ON BIULITRIC PAVING TAXES _ giClayton Avenue Property ‘Owners Wanted Brick, but Couldn’t Get It.

TO EMPLOY ATTORNEY

They Declare Reconstruction of Street Was Forced Upon Them.

Property owners,on Clayton avenue are organizing to resist the payment of special tax bills issued by the city for the reconstruction of the street with bitulithic paving. A committee consisting of Peter Schmitt of 3938 Clayton avenue, Edward Neubert of 4147 Clayton avenue, Patrick McKain of, 44642 Clayton avenue and Charles Lochbihler of 4208 Clayton ave- nue has laid the matter before the Tow- er Grove Citizens’ Association and re- quested that organization to aid in the fight. The property owners complain that the reconstruction of the street was forced upon them by the Board of Public Im- provements; that their petitions for a brick street and their against bitulithic were rejected; that the concrete foundation and the wearing sur- face of the street were not properly laid, and that portions of the wearing surface, procured during the progress of reconstruction, readily disintegrate un- der slight heat. Contractor Demands Money. The first installment on the special tax bills is already overdue and the property owners who have: refused to pay have been notified that the contractor has ex- ercised his option to declare all the re- maining installments due and payable immediately. , The property owners have not declared whether they will ~bring suit against the city to prevent the collection of the special tax bills, or whether they will simply continue to refuse to pay and let the contractors sue them. They expect to.employ an attorney. Clayton avenue was reconstructed in November. The special tax bills were issued early in December, and the first installment became due within 30 days after notice was served on the property owner. Mr. Neubert says that fully one- half of the property owners on the street have refused to pay the special tax bills. The total cost of the street was $71,044.62, of which $48,499.46 was for the concrete foundation and bitulithic wearing sur- face. Few Residents Wealthy. Few of the property owners on Clay- ton avenue are wealthy. The street parallels the Wabash tracks, and is built up principally with small homes. The property owners wanted a brick street because it was cheaper and more durable than bitulithic. The cost of a brick street would have been $7895.26 less than ‘bitulithic, about ll per cent. The property owners who are com- plaining say that Sarah street and other streets in the immedaite vicinity have been !mproved and re- constructed, and that some of the peo- ple are now threatened with confis- cation of their property because they are unable to meet all the special tax bills. “We have a good macadam pavement on the street,’ said Neubert, ‘‘and there was no demand on the part of the prop- or recently

More proof that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound saves woman from surgical operations. Mrs. S. A. Williams, diner, Maine, writes: “T was a great sufferer from or- ganic trouble, and Lydia K. Pink- ham'’s Vegetable Compound restored me to health in three months after my physician declared that an oper- ation was absolutely necessary. Mrs. Alvina Sperling, of 154 Cleybourne, Ay., Chicago, IIL, writes : ‘I suffered from a tumor and much inflammation. Two of the best doctors in Chicago decided that an operation was necessary to save my life. Lydia KE. Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compound entirely cured me without an operation.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positiveiy cured thousands of women wav have been troubled with tumors, backache, headache, flatulency, indigestion, hot flashes, dizzi- ness, or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick agp en to write her for advice. of Gar-

remonstrance*

AE Pe erty owner for the improvement. The | Board of Public Improvements, of its own volition, took up the matter and decided to pave Clayton avenue. When the property owners found that the street was to be made over their pro tests, they petitioned for a brick street. We. got the signatures of more than two-thirds of the property owners for brick. These people are poor, and want- ed the cheapest street that could be made. “When we took our petition to the City Hall we were tolfi that we would get granite bituminous or nothing. We told the gentlemen who seemed to be clothed with so much authority that Wwe would very much prefer nothing. We then got up a remonstrance against bitulithic, but the board paid no atten- tion to that. It forced us to take bitu- lithic. Went to O'Reilly. “Il went several times to President O'Reilly of the Board of Public Im- provements and reminded . him that when he was running for office he had promised to serve the people. I called his attention to the fact that the people on Clayton avenue had de- manded one kind of a street, and that he was forcing another, and more ex- pensive, street on them. He promised to se@ what could be done, but nothing Was done. We had to take the street, and now the special tax bills have been issued against the property owners. “T consider that I was treated insolent- ly when I went to the City Hall to de- mand my.rights. We expect to employ a lawyer to fight the special tax bills. “Tl watched the construction of. the street closelv. In making the founda- tion 19 wheelbarrows of crushed stone and sand were used to one bag of ce- ment. The concrete was so soft that I could dig it up’ with my cane. I got some of the wearing surface, and when this is warmed a little I can tear it all to pieces with my hands. The properiyv owners on a street certainly have some rights that the Board of Public provements has got to respect, and we are going to see whether we have to pay these bills.”’ Grand Jury’s Comment. The December grand jury in its report Stated that the Board of Public Im- provements. has disregarded the pcti- tions of property owners for a certain material when. it desired to retain the continuity of a street. In the case of Clayton avenue there was no part of it constructed of bitulithic. Street Com- missioner Travilla says the board de- sired to have a sheet paving on the street, as it runs out to Forest Park, and carries considerable light traffic. The special tax district of which Clay- ton avenue is the center is very irregu- larly laid out, and some of the property owners in the district are threatening to contest the special tax bills on the ground that the district is improperly laid out. The Supreme Court has de- cided that special tax bills for bitulithic streets, even when the street is laid over the protests of property owners and under conditions which prohibit Im-.

Wife Thinks Him Dead, Mrs. Wheeler's belief :that her hus- band ended his life soon after he disap- peared from his home at 1449 Mississippi avenue, arises from the fact that she re- ceived a letier from him in which he said he was “walking toward the river, awfully tired and going to rest,” “Ten years ago we enjoyed the in- come from $150,000 and lived comfort- ably,” Mrs. Wheeler told a Pgst-Dis- patch reporter Thursday. ‘Then a four- year illness, following an opefation, gave my husband's trusted friend an opportunity to rob him.

Dinners and dancing and excur- sions and receptions follow one another. It was originally planned to have the fleet leave here last evening, but the aeparture was delayed until tomorrow in order to give the Americans more time in which to return hospitalities. The health of Rear-Admiral Evans, who, at Rio Janeiro, was suffering from rheuumatism, is improving steadily. Society Attends Dance. Tuesday afternoon there was a dance on board the Chacabuco at which the society of Punta Arenas was well rep- resented. Four hundred guests danced until 6 o’clock in the evening. Among those present were Minister Hicks, Ad- mirals Thomas, Emory and Sperry of John T.

THE CARS ON THE SIDBTRACKS. Nearly all human activity was long ago de- scribed as moving things from one place to an- other. If that be true, a country having 225,000 miles of railway may find in the transportation tusiness the surest indications of real industrial and commercial conditions. One year ago there was comr'aint in almost every State of the shortage of freight cars. Shippers ‘were everywhere clamorous. Railroad managers were larshly criticised in some quar- ters on the theory that they were to blame for the situation and in various states laws were passed inflicting penalties upon them for failure to provide adequate equipment. |

On Feb. 6, 1907, the American Railway Asso- ciation reported a shortage of cars aggregating 104,226. On Feb. 4 of this year, it is stated on the same authority that there were $75,000 freight cars standing idle on sidetracks throughout the country. So great is the eongestion in’ some places that special arrangements have had to be made to care for the property, and old rules and regulations, made to prevent the unnecessary de- tention of cars; have been abrogated. With so vast a number of cars in disuse, a cor- responding reduction has been made in the de- mand for locomotives, and of these it is reported that no less than, 12,000 are now out of commis- sion. In corroboration of these staggering figures the monthly reports of railway earnings general- ly indicate serious reductions, and in an effort to minimize expenses train service is being material- ly curtailed and working forces in most places have been greatly lessened. It is possible that to some extent the chill which has fallen upon the railway interest is psychological, but it is to be remembered that transportation feels quickly the imaginary as well as the real hardships which afflict every. é6ther line of industry. Business depression, whether deep-seated and lasting or only sentimental and_ temporary, cannot fail to reduce the volume of railway traffic, and so the figures here © given show perhaps more completely than anything else the violence of thé shock which the country |_ received at the time of the recent panic. In this, the physical aspect of the railway busi- hess, accepting it as a barometer of industrial conditions generally, there is nothing which any American can contemplate with gatisfaction. Wisely or unwisely managed, honestly or dishon- estly financed, the railways are not only the greatest of our industries; they are also the in- dispensable servants of every other legitimate in- terest. | Under the impetus of abounding prosperity too many of them, in thé hands of reckless men, have contributed to the disaster which has now befallen them. Loaded: with debt, robbed of valu- able rights, involved in lawbreaking and face to face with the penalties therefor, some of the more important:of these corporations, once best pre- pared to withstand the consequences of a few lean years, are now least able to carry. the burdens that avarice and crime have heaped upon them. Contemplating the effects of the wicked poli- cles properly chargeable to vicious railway man- agement and exploitation, the thought must oc- cur to honest and prudent men in the business that a duty devolves upon them as well-as upon those who legislate and govern. If the sagacidus financiers and skillful practical men attached to the railway interest. would unite in warfare upon the buccaneers of their class they could soon rid the land of beasts of prey more to be dreaded than any that ever ranged the primeval forests. Responsibility, accountability, common honesty and ordinary decency in corporate management are to be found in many places, intent upon their own, but they are chargeable also with a certain oversight of others which thus far has not been witnessed conspicuously in high railway circles. Railway men, like bankers, are their brothers’ keepers in a sense. When train robbers appear they work in harmony for their destruction. Why should they not take arms at once against the in- finitely more desperate marauders who operate through the stock market? The thousands of idle cars and locomotives are evidences of great crimes and great misfdrtunes. The crimes canbe prevented. Every honestly managed railway corporation in the land can lend a hand. | | hi hi ae ~~ S =~ OUR INVESTMENT IN CUBA. The feeling in Congresg that the cost of Amer- ican intervention and administration in Cuba should be borne by the taxpayers of the island is one which the friends of that Republic would do well to respect. ‘ Nothing will do more to promote annexation sentiment in this country than the frequent pre- sentation of bills for $5,000,000, such as the one now in hand, for preserving the peace among a people whose independence and liberty were won by our arms.

Who will subscribe with his ballot to stock in the Bonanza Bill at next fall’s primaries? SHALL IT DIE? New York World Editorial Today. Mr. Bryan’s opinion of the World is always inter- esting. The columns of the world are always open to him for thé expression of his views on any sub- ject, whether it be the management of a newspaper, or ‘‘The Map of Bryanism,’’ or any of the issues of a presidential contest. But in the midst of a campaign, involving a ques- tion of Democratic life or death, we cannot stop to bandy personalities with even so eminent and distin- guished an opponent as he. In the eloquent words of Mr. Bryan’s speech at Chicago in 1896, which won him the Democratic nomination for President: ‘We object to bringing this question down to the level of persons. The individual is but an atom; he is born, he acts, he dies; but principles are eternal and this has been a contést over a principle.” The World therefore repeats the questions which it presented to Mr. Bryan Tuésday morning which are still unanswered: 1. What states did you lose in 1896 that you could carry in 1908? 2. What electoral votes did you lose in 1900 that you could win in 19087 8. What elements of dissatisfaction and discontent did you fail to arouse then which you could success- fully appeal to now? Thanks to Mr. Bryan's peerless leadership the Dem- ocratic party is more of a sectional party than it was during the Civil War. It is in complete control of only 13 of 46 states and these are all in the South. The Republicans have the greatest numerical major- ity in the United States Senate that they have had since 1877. There are fewer Democrats in the House of Representatives than there were in 1875. There are only two anti-Republican United States senators. north of the line of the Missouri Compromise. There are 18 more states which are not represented in the House of Representatives by a single Democrat. Out- side of New York City there are only 38 Democrats in both houses’ of Congress from all the Northern and Western states. What answer has Mr. Bryan to make to this rec- ord? What will be the condition of the. Democratic party with four years more of his leadership? _ Mr. Bryan may be gravely displeased with the World's pamphlet, “The Map of Bryanism,’’ but he cannot escape from the record presented or from its conclusions. Nor can the Democratic Party escape from the consequences of Mr. Bryan's further leader- ship if it nominates him at Denver. Mr. Bryan cannot possibly be elected. Another de- feat under his Populistic leadersuip will leave the party even more demoralized and disorganized than it is today. The World again presents this vital question to the consideration of Mr. Bryan, of Mr. Bryan's friends and of all true Democrats: Shall the Democratic party die? LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Children in Factories. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to indorse the remarks of the lady signing H. L. T. in the communication in your today’s is- sue, concerning the conditions existing in many places of employment where girls and boys and men work together. She describes those conditions and refers to the fanguage used ina mild way. My business takes me into numerous places where such conditions exist, and I have often wondered how men holding the position as foremen in such places can so far forget their own families, their chiidren and their manhood as to allow such language and such actions as may any day be met with in factories where the sexes mingle during their work. This subject, which our manufacturers associations and similar business organizations should investigate and deal with, and not in a half-hearted manner, either. OBSERVER.

Lively Prognostication. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Did you take notice that Bryan, several weeks ago, called on Roosevelt at the White Headquarters at Washington? Roosev elt read his speech to Congress and Senate to Bryan. Bryan, the day following, in- dorsed. Roosevelt’s principles to the public. Bryan later advised the Democratic congressmen and Sen- ators to cheer when Roosevelt's message wag read. They fell in his trap. Davis of Arkansas lost his voice by overwork. Roosevelt is to run for the pres- idency and Bryan is. to be Vice on the ticket for the consolidation of Roosevelt and Bryan for 1908, unit- ing the Republican and Democratic parties as one. In 1912 a “king” is to be elected to take over all par- ties is what they are driving at. ‘‘Note the hand: writing on the wall.” I am-a .German-Swede, but san see through the clouds of darkness.

ANTWINE ON FAREBANKS. BALD KNUWB, mo. Dear sur: I sec Indanny has instructéd hur dellygation to vote fur Fafehranks till the cows cum homé, which restores him to the race. . A good many peopul don’t understand the Farebankxs boom. It is not politi- cal; it is educationul. While pollytics is necessarily the modus operandy, the underlying motive is far noblur ‘and purer, than,,that. If we should elect Mr. Farebanks he would give us a litter- ary adminietrashun. In a wurd, ne would make the whole country like In- danny. Mr. Rusefeldt has only scratched the sirface. He is a half-baked litteratur at best. He is not in the same class with the Indanny crowd. Them is 13. karit litteraturs, and there is as much diffurnce betteeen their best séllurs and nature books, as there is between wild crabapples and cultivated wine- saps. Zhe Farebanks rein would te the Gold- un Age of American litterture. The President’s messages would be litterture. The Guvvermint publications would be litterture. All offiShul proclamations would be litterture. In fact, evrything put on papur in Washington would be litterture except the Congressnul Record and the newspapur correspondence, the unavoidable consequents of illiterate Pep- resentation. Under Farebanks, insted of bear hunt- ers, despradoes, wild men and bronko busters infesting the White House, we would have poets, novulists, and expurts fin bells letturs. We would exchange Jim Riley fur Bat Masterson, Booth Tark- ington fur Catches-em-Alive Abernathy, Meredith Nicholson fur Viking Ben Dan- iels, and other culture fur other vild- ness. — We have at diffurnt times give the trusts, the pollytishuns, muney, and the Wild West crowd, the run of things. Why not let the litterary fellers in once?

JUST A MINUTE FOR VERSE “AND HUMOR. Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams. Farebanks would probably make Mark Twain Secrtary of War. War is al- reddy purty ridiculus, but when Mark got dun making fun of it frum the in- side, even the Peace Confrefice would see the folly of it. Purmit me to add in closing that I am no relation. to Farebanks. Yorg, — ANTWINE. REFRAIN.

Hailing a New Firm. Rumor has it that a new enterprise In the way of a swell duds making establishment is to soon be opened in Modena. The parties back of the new business are Jim Tuttle and Bud Bryant, which is an assurance to the success of the business. Mr. Tuttle has long held a top record as an artist with a needle and singer machine. Some of his fancy work took first premium in London, Paris, Pekin and other European and Asiatic cities. Mr. Tuttle, some time last spring, made a fancy night gown for Perry Curtis, which was later exhibited at the Jamestown Bx- postion and took the gold medal from start to finish. Mr. Bryant has just returned from an. institution in New York City where he finished @ post-graduate course in taking measurements and cutting dresa goods, Mr Tuttle will do the sewing and fitting, while Mr. Bryant will do the cutting and take measures with no little modesty. The writer predicts a brilliant future for these gentle- men in their new undertaking.—-Modena Cor- respondence in_ Princeton (Mo.) Post. f

Missouri Town. ~ H. W. Denker, Mayor of St. Charlies, Md, states that the boxing show which John Walirap planned to hold in the St. Charles Opera House on Feb. ii will not be allowed to take place. Waill- rap thought that he had fixed up every- thing so that he could hol contests, but he evidently slipped a cog in laying his wires. ei Jack Tippetts and George Block were to have furnished the n event. With the boxing game closed in all of the counties across the river, the game for- bidden in St. Louis and St. Charles closed to the mitt wielders, it seems as though St. Louisans will have to go without boxing bouts.

wr we Soot and Dirt, He Explains, Weaken Mem- branes of Lungs Which Are Unable to Throw Off Disease When It Comes.

That there would not be 80 mahy casés ‘of pneumonia in St, Louis if there were less coal smoke in the city’s atmos- phere is the opinion of Health Commié- sioner Bond and of Dr. WJ McGee, the noted anthropologist. Dr. McGee said to the Post-Dispatch’s Washington cor- respondent Wednesday: “Pneumonia as a fatal disease is es- sentially a disease of the cities. There is probably no place in thé country where deaths from it aré more frequent than in St. Louis. In rural districts it is not dreaded. : Lungs Slowly Weakened. ‘The reason for this is simple. Resi- dents of St. Louis take the smoke into their lungs every day, year in and year out. It is absorbed by the delicate tis- sues lining the bronchial passages and weakens them. AS a Fresult, these mém- branes lose their power of resistance neumonia and are w ed. When t off and eaken sets in they cannot throw death results “Pneumonia germs are among. the most common known to science. Where the Hat is dense, as in cities, they are found in the walks, in the floors of butidings and, in fact, every- -where. Any movement stirs them up and then they are takén into the lungs. Smoke Is an Irritant. “It cannot be doubted that smoke in the atmosphere of St. Louis may be a Contributory cause in the development of “pneumonia,” said Health Commis- sioner Bond. “It is an irritant and where there is a predisposition to pneu- monia, smoke, by increasing the inflam- mation of the membranes, aggravates the. disease. ‘Smoke itself cannot cause pneumonia, but it can complicate it and make tlie disease less susceptible to treatment. Conditions here are not worse than

other large cities where soft coal Is burned.”’ .

Miles secured an injunction against the Com- mission in the United States Circuit Court. The suits grow out of complaints al- leging discrimination in furnishing coal cars to the Western Coal and Mining Co. The roed’s attorneys say if suits urged by the Commission are filed by the prosecutors there would be 330 cases, with 3990,000 as a maximum amount of penalties and $165,000 as a minimum. Miles alleges that the laws of Arkan- sas, under which the suiis are brought. are unconstitutional, inasmuch as they are in direct violation of the United States laws. Continuing the attorney states that if the law inust be enforced to the letter, it would require the raijroad company to keep at all times a large number of cars in Arkansas, to the detriment of the mining interests of other States, as many of the Arkansas cars would not be in use and the mines at other places idle for want of cars. This At- ing to Shoot.” CHANUTE, Kan., Feb. 6.—John Me- Gowan was shot and almost instantly killed at a dance In Shaw, 8 miles south- east of here. The shooting was done by Ww. F. Walker, at whose house the dance was given. Walker, while intoxi- cated, got a shotgun and said: ‘I’m going to shoot somebody.” “All right,”” McGowan remarked jest; “shoot me.” Walker took him at his word, the charge entcring McGowan’s mouth. Walker was arrested about an hour after the shooting, and taken to Eric, where he was placed in the County Jail. MeGewan had lived In this county all his life. He was about 3% years old and leaves a widow and two children. Walker has lived in Shaw about two months, where he was a juck dealer.

-Y, STOCK = ABOUT PARITY AT OPENING Differences Between Opening and Closing Prices Limited to Small Fractions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 10 a. m.—Only a very small fraction separated Wednes- day’s closing and this mornihg’s opening prices on the Stock Exchange. Except in one or two cases the difference was 80 small that the market may be said to be at parity. The weakness and uncertainty that was in evidence in Wednesday’s was apparent in the in- itial trading today. American Smelting and Northern Pacific were the heaviest losers in the opening sales, each stock dropping half a point. Steel preferred, Atchison and Pennsylvania were at par- ity. The market developed weakness in the first half hour, prices of all the promi- nent issues saggicrg fractionally. As has been the case during the last few days, trading was dull and of the pre- fessional order. Wiaatever liitle activity there was in the market was confined to Readirg and Union Pacific, and even they were slower than usual. American securities in London heavy and generally below parity. NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 12:30 p. m.— Chicago-Great ‘Western made another new iow record for the last seven years when it slumped ie 4% in the forenoon. Prices generally continued to move downward, with Delaware & Hudson the heaviest loser. B. & O. was especially saggy, los- ing 1% points, while other rail is- sues were from % to % off their opening. Several of the issues made no changes during the forenoon. Among the stocks that were at parity at noon were Smelting, Steel common and preferred, Great North- ern, Northern Pacific, New York Cen- tral and Pennsylvania. New York Stock Quotations.

CHICAGO STOCK MARKET. (Francis, Bro. & Co., 214 %-Foeurth st.’

for December showed a loss in gross earn- ings amounting to $2,488,000. this falling off in bh, ag income was considerably less than gen- erally was anticipated a few weeks ago, when ye on the loss in gross earnings reached $4,000,000. In view of the fact that the road's gross earnings for several recent vears have heen on the basis of $300,000 a year, this small diminution in its income wis not thought of sufficient consequence to affect the stock un- favorably. CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—Stuyvesant Fish has pre- pored a statement of the earnings and expenses of the Illinois Central and Chicago & Alton railronds between the years 1898 and 1906, the former road being at that time under bis man- agement and the latter road under Hurriman ecntrol, According to his figures, there was an in- crease of 95.32 r cent in the operating ex- penses of the Illinois Central, while the in- crease on the Alton was 111.20 per cent: (iinois Central net receipts increased 75.46 per eént, while the Alton increase was 41.292 per cent. and the net income on the Illinois Central increased 69.54 per cent. while it in- Creased 37.89 per cent on the Alton.
