BUYS FIND MAN IN SLOUGH WITE BULLET IN EAD —>

The body of William Stein was found Tuesday by three boys in Gabaret Slough, a mile west of Granite City. There was a bullet wound in the right temple. Whether the wound was self- ‘inflicted has not been determined. Stein was employed in a Granite City rolling mill, and was sent to a hospital there several weeks ago to be treated for a disease of the head. He was released two weeks ago, and went home. In a few hours he disap- peared, and nothing was known of his whereabouts until the body found in the slough was identified. David Ballett, Steve Petro and John Kodack went to the slough to fish. As they approached the bank they saw a human hand sticking out of the water. Greatly frightened, they ran back to Granite City and notified Deputy Cor- oner Voorhees. Volunteers accompanied Voorhees to the siough and hel _ ors the body to shore. se .

Special to ,the Post-Dispatch. GREENWOOD, Miss., March While suffering from rabies, the result of a dog’s bite, Andrew Thompson broke the straitjacket in which physicians had confined him, and bit 10 persons, two of them women, before he was over- powered. After his recapture, he strangled hini- self to death in his struggles to twist his neck free from the chain placed about it. Some of the bites which the madmar inflicted are very serlous, and the suf- ferers will be taken to New Orleans and placed under the Pasteur treatment. Took Pasteur Treatment. ' Thompson, who was a machinist and of powerful frame, was bitten on the hand by a dog in January. One of his fingers was badly torn. The wounds were cauterized as soon as he could reach a physician, and as an added precaution, Thompson went to New Orleans and placed himself under the Pasteur treatment. On his return here, it was supposed that the wound had healed. But last Saturday the wounds began to smart and burn. He hastened to physicians, who saw that he was growing rapidly worse, but could not help him. Late in the day he began to have spasms of the throat, then convulsions of the whole body followed, and the man’s ravings became frightful. He was placed in a straitjacket and ichained toa’ bed.

They struggled in vain with him, and he ran into the street and attacked two women and three men, sinking his teeth into the flesh of them all. It was only when he was exhausted and helpless that the physicians were able io overpower him and bind him with ropes and chains. His strength socn returned, and |! yey vain struggles with his bonds he choked himself to death.

Miss Grace Babcock of 3645 Dodier street doesn’t think it ladylike to indulge in fisticuffs or to ply a whip on mashers, though this recipe for their suppression has been advocated recently and pul into successful practice by many women. “My. father always told me,” she said Tuesday in the City Hall Police Court, where Fritz Fleer, an insurance man, of 4561 Evans avenue, Was arraigned on the charge of annoying her, “that I shouldn’t create a scene on the street, if accosted by a stranger, by Striking him or stabbing him with a hat pin. He told me just to lead the masher around until I met a policeman, and have him arrested.” Followed Father's Advice. ‘This was my first thought Monday afternoon when this man spoke to me at Broadway and Locust street. I fol- lowed my father's advice, but I had a walk of nearly two miles, with my annoyer speaking to me every few steps before I finally saw a policeman.

Professional Bondsman Chris Schaw- acker in open court Tuesday was told by Judge Wilson A. Taylor of the Court of Criminal Correction that the Work- house is too good for him. The rebuke was said by taches to be the most stinging one ever delivered in the Four Courts. Miss Hattie Wunsch of 1427 South Sec- in behalf of her charged with court at- ond street, testifying brother, Albert Wunsch, carrving a concealed weapon, told how she and her mother went to Schawack- er to ask him to give bond for the boy. ‘He said he couldn't do it unless we would give him $10,"" said the witness. ‘We told him we didn't have that much and he asked us how much we had. We counted our change and found each of us had $3. Orders Bondsmen Brought In. “tte said: ‘You just give me the $é. It's not enough to pay for a bond, but I'll take it and see if I can fix the Judge.’ ”’ When Miss Wunsch said this Judge Taylor couldnot restrain himself. He rose to his feet and said: “Mr. Sheriff, bring that man Schawacker into court at once.” Schawacker was brought in from the corridor. ‘Take the stand!” Taylor. “Did you take $% from these women?’ asked the Judge. “7 did,’ replied Scha wacker. ‘‘And did you tell them you would fix the Judge?” ‘Well.’ sald Schawacker, “I just thok it as a sort of a stay bond. I believe I did tell them that if the boy was fined I would talk to the Judge and see if J] couldn't get him to stay the fire.”’ Leaning far over and almost hissing the words into Schawacker’s ear, Judge Taylor said: Calla It “Ceontemptiblie Trickery. ” “you have been gullty of the most contemptidle trickery I have ever heard of.

PARIS, March 2%.—The Government has refused the request made by the Duke of Montebello for permission to remove the remains of his grandfather, Marshal Lannes, who was ennobled by the first Napa@leon, from the Pantheon to the family vault in Montmartre Cem- etery. This request was made by the Duke because he did not wish the body of the Marshal to Me in the Pantheon with that of Emil Zola, whom he described as “the insulter of the army.’’ The Cabinet today voted to postpone the transfer of the body of M. Zola to the Pantheon from April 2 to June 4, in order to permit the completion of suit- able arrangements. The anti-Zolaites have arranged a meeting to protest against this transfer.

Mrs. Edith Adams, who keeps a lodg- ing house at Fourteenth street and Franklin avenue, says-that the homes. in the West End are houses of oppression. Mrs. Adams is a student ‘of sociology, and it was by attending to the lectures of the late Dr. W. L. Sheldon at the Ethical Soctety that she got her first insight into the work that now absorbs her attention, that is, the amelioration of the servant girl. ae For several years Mrs. Adams has been a student of social conditions. She has had communication with many 60- ciety women who interest themselves in the condition of workers and she ,has worked as a servant in the homes of some of them in order to qualify herself as to the conditions under which servant girls work in the homes of the very women who have been active in trying work in stores and factories. Helping Paper Bedroom. When she was seen Tuesday by a re- porter for the Post-Dispatch in her lodg- ing house she was perched on the. top of a tall step ladder helping her hus- band paper a bedroom. She is a comely woman of about 30 with bright eyes and a quick decisive manner of speech. She speaks with re- markable facility. ‘My sole object tn going into the homes of the rich in the West End was to find out for myself how the women who belong to the Ethical Society and other so-caued philanthropic societies for the betterment of women treated their own servants. “T was a servant girl before I was married and became interested in. the betterment of the condition of work- ing men and women and particularly the latter. “T studied and read and attended lectures on sociological questions and attended many meetings of the Ethic- al Society. About five years ago I married and this gave me more time for study and thought. “Tt became known that I had looked into the work of women more or less and Mrs. Harvey G. Mudd. who was then concerned with the Consumers’ League of women who were trving to lessen the hardships of girls who work in stores and factories wrote me and asked for inside information as to conditions. Says Care for Servants. “After she sent Miss Marie Peugnet to talk with me about it. i sent word that she would be doing a better work by investigating the lives of the slawes who worked for the families in the West, End, who were compelled to labor from 14 to 18 hours a day instead of raising Hades with the fac- tories, as the household servants in the families of the rich were much more worth the sympathy and help of truly philanthropic women than the girls in tae factories and stores who worked eight hours a day and had things comparatively easy. “About a year ago I had been in correspondence with Mrs. W. E. Fischel, and one day I saw an advertise- ment for a servant in her house. Here was my chance to demonstrate my ideas on the subject. “} went to work for Mrs. Fischel and EF can say this, that the servants in the famiifes:in the West End are over- worked until they become physical and moral degenerates. “They are worked to death, until most of them should be in the hospital. “They run up and down stairs all day long on the slightest whim of my lady, and when they go to bed at night they are wrecks. The factory and shop giris have their Sundays. The hardest day of the week for the servants is Sunday. “Onee a week they dress up and go out and gossip with other servants and {then return to their slavery. “DT worked for two very wealthy wom-

‘eat Seller Secretes Self in Shop. and Becomes Own Detective. oana>

After Joseph Adler, a butcher at 2323 Franklin avenue, had been robbéd three times by a burglar who had a fondness for sausage and pennies, and of whom the police failed to get any trace, Adler took the matter into his own hands and captured the thief. Adler reported to the police March 16 that his shop had been robbed the pre- vious night. Some sausage and $1 in pennies had been stolen. The police told him they would find the burglar. ° Tells Police Once More. When Adler reached his shop on the morning of March 2, he discovered his burglar had been there again. Some more sausage and $2 in pennies were gone. Again Adler reported to the po- lice, and again he was told the burglar would be captured. Nothing. was heard of the burglar for three days. Monday morning, however, Adler found he had been visited the third time. More sausage and $1.50 in pennies had disappeared. “This is too much,’ Adler declared to the police of the Dayton Street Station. “You are no good. I will catch that burglar myself.”’ So, on Monday night, Adler secreted himself in his shop. About 10 o’clock he heard a noise at the rear window. He heard the window pried. open and saw a form enter the shop. The form made straight for the cash register, and was in the act of Pew more pen- nies when Adler pounced upon it. Takes Prisoner to Station. The form proved to be that of Fred Bostick; a 13-year-old negro boy, living at 1226% Wash street. Adler took the boy over his knee. and spanked him. After which he dragged him to the Day- ton Street Police Station. The boy de- hied having entered the shop the two previous times. He is held at the House of Detention.

Edna E. Brups. comedy actress, daughter of H. D. Bruns, a wealthy St. Charles manufacturer, and niece of Francis Wilson, itiraveled from § S8t. Charles to Waterbury, Conn., to horse- whip an editor. Then, in her excite- ment, she attacked the wrong man, ac- cording to press dispatches. She was angry because of an article published in the Waterbury American, relative to an alleged love affair with young Mark Hanna, who was recently married. The young woman Sunday for Bridgeport, Conn., to join Francis Wilson’s company, with which she has played most of the season. Summer Romance Story. Last summer Miss Bruns was a mem- ber of the Waterbury Stock Company, and at that time Roland F. Andrews was city editor of the American. Since then he has been made associate editor and dramatic critic, but Miss Bruns did not know of the change. She believed he, as city editor, was responsible for the article which said that, while Hanna was at the Taft In- stitute at Watertown, his attachment for Edna Bruns was so great that his mother took him away from the school. Finding Editor Andrews on his Wa- terbury watch, with one spring Miss Bruhs advanced upon him, wielding a dogwhip. She struck him a stinging blow across the face. “I’m Edna Bruns,” she said, “and I’ll teach you that you can’t blast my repu- tation.”’ Andrews wrested the whip from her hands and tried to explain. Miss Bruns attempted to regain possession of the whip, and she struggled with the editor until he threatened to call a policeman. As she left the office, Miss Bruns said: “I traveled a long way for this.’’ left St. Charles part in the -evening performance of “When Knights Were Bold.” Later she gave out a statement in which she said that she believed. she had been greatly injured by the action of a member of the American staff, who wrote the Hanna story for his own paper and also sent it to a New York paper. “In this article,’’ she said, “he wrote that Mrs. Stallo, young Hanna’s moth- er, came to Waterbury to prévent me eloping with her son Mark, and that simultaneously with Hanna's oin away after close of school, resigne and left town, which was abootatele false, and that young Hanna had pre- viously left school and fitted up sump- tuous apartments near the Elton, where I lived.

OWNED

Fatal IlIness Began While He Was With King at the Ascot Races.

March %.—Spencer Comp- ton Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire, president of the Unionist Free Trade League and leader of the opposition to tariff reform in England, who twice re- fused the office of Prime Minister, died today in Cannes, France, where he had stopped on his return from a journey to Egypt. Heart disease caused death. The Duke was nearly 75 years old, and was one of the most prominent and ac- tive men in British public life. He was chancellor of Cambridge University, Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire, and Ma- sonic provincial grand master. He owned 186,000 acres of land. His nephew, a member of Parliament, is his heir. In politics he was, until his withdraw- al from the Balfour ministry, the leader of the Liberal Unionist party. withdrawal, made because of his dis- approval of Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal policy, estranged him from a ma- jority of the party. He still had a large following in the country, and took an active part in the campaign against tariff reform. He delivered his last speech on this question just one year ago, on the occasion of the jubilee of his entrance upon a political career. Was Long in Cabinet. Few men have spent a more active po- litical life than the Duke. He had been almost continually a Cabinet member in charge of some important depart- ment, as & Liberal before the split with Gladstone, and later as leader of the Liberal-Unionists. He led the Liberals during the temporary retirement of Gladstone in 1875, and was offered, but refused, the premiership after the Mid- lothian campaign of 1880. He was again | offered this honor upon the defeat of home rule, but again he refused. The Duke was also active socially, and his entertainments at his Piccadilly residence at Chatsworth House, in Der- byshire, and his other country houses, were notable. Members of the royal family frequently were his guests, par- ticularly at Chatsworth House, where the hunting and shooting and theatri- cals in the Duke's private theater of- fered entertainment to which King Ed- ward was partial. The Duke was often the King’s guest, and it was when he was with the King at Windsor last June for the Ascot races that the first serious symptoms of heart weakness were displayed. The death of the Duke places a badge of the Order of the Garter at the dis- posal of King Edward. This, in accord- ance with custom, will be returned to the King by the successor to the title.

Morrison said he came to St. Louis to buy sewer pipe. He wore rusty clothes, and they were rustier after a day in town. He had no suitcase, and when he applied at 10 p. m. for a room at the Planters he was told none was vacant. Similar replies greeted him at the Southern, Laclede and other downtown hostelries, and he started along Market street. At the Union Station he offered a young man $25 to get him a room. The young man notified the Station Master, and the Station Master the police. Morrison was locked up, and during the night Desk Sergt. Drissell of the Central District cared for his ‘‘roll.”’ COBBLER KILLS SELF SITTING BESIDE A TABLE IN A SALOON Writes Note to “Sadie,” Saying “You Are the Cause,” Then Swallows Acid.

Suspicion of the mur- der has attached to them, and in a let- ter written a few days ago Gay’s wife, who is near death from consumption, begged him to confess his part in the crime, if he had taken:any.

LEMP WANTS COMMISSIONER TO HEAR DIVORCE EVIDENCE Husband Will Give His Deposition Before Official Judge Kinsey Is to Appoint. Application was made to Circuit Judge Kinsey Tuesday by attorneys rep- resenting William J. Lemp and his wife, Lillian Handlan Lemp, asking for the apointment of a commissioner to take depositions in the divorce case pending in Judge Kinsey's court. Attorney William B. Thompson, rep- resenting Lemp, said Mrs. Lemp’s at- torneys had suggested only the names of Catholics. Judge Dillon, representing Mrs. Lemp, disavowed any intention to bring the question of religion into the selection of the commissioner. The attorneys wanted to begin the taking of the deposition of William J. Lemp Tuesday afternoon, but Judge Kinsey will not name the commissioner until later. The depositions will be taken next Monday.

No inquest as Victim Was Procyon Lotor, Not Scipio Africanus Species. It was a natural mistake for the St. Charles police to think that a human tragedy had occurred when they were told that Theodore A. Stumberg had killed a coon in his chicken yard. So they notified the Coroner, but when he got there he found that there was no work for the undertaker. It wasn't that kind of a coon. It had a fondness for chickens, though, and it carried away some of Mr. Stum- berg’s finest pullets before he discov- ered that it belonged to the four-footed species, Procyon Lotor, and not to the two-footed species, Scipio Africanus. He lay in wait with a shotgun and killed it as it was climbing over the roof of his chicken shed.

Pieiaveriated, She Leads Her z Nephew a Merry Dance at the Century.

BECOMES A ROUNDER

_ May Robson’s Play Is ‘Father ‘* and the Boys” in Plot ; Essentials.

LEVER May Robson, always de- pendable, is doing much more than : merely maintaining her own standard of excellence in “‘The Rejuve- nation of Aunt Mary’’ at the Century . this week. — | She's virtually carrying the whole play on her shoulders and causing it to suc- - @eed by making her audience acquaint- ed with such an amusing and lovable _ @ld maid that one forgets for the time being how impossible is the story and how wildly improbable are the things _ § which the old maid is required to do in e order that the play shall provoke laugh- ter. _ For “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary” rods the sheerest of farces rather than _ comedy, and it catches Aunt Mary up in its gusty arms and whirls her into a ery hurricane of exaggeration. You Ry ‘know how these things come about in ~~ such cases—you've hardiy drawn a long ” breath after the rise of the first curtain when suddenly a plot that promised to ' be comedy swiftly transforms itself into _ farce, and thereafter you're unreason- ~ able if you demand anything like rea- ~* gon in its incidents and situations. r rats “Father and the Boys” Fem- inixed. 3 It’s just that way in “The Rejuvena- i , pon of Aunt Mary.”’ In your own sane mind you realize that no amount of re- f gauvenation could lead a demure country “spinster of middle age, soft-hearted and - gweet-souled, into becoming ‘‘one of the “gang” with her very rapid city nephew “gnd his chums, learning to drink like a _ “rounder,’’ relish the smell of cigarette @moke blown into her nostrils by re- develop ,into an automobile ~ “georcher”’ in the “wee sma’ hours’” @nd crack questionable jokes concern- ing her plight in an urban bath tub, but you accept it all, nevertheless. The spirit of farce takes possession of you as it does of Aunt Mary herself—and after that there’s nothing incongruous until you begin to think the story over on your. way. home. In its @ssentials ““The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary” is that hilariously enter- taining bit of nonsense, ‘‘Father and the Boys,” in which we saw William H. _ Crane earlier this season, only Aunt _\ Mary takes the place of Father in the plot. If you can assimilate this substitu- tion as being within the limits of real- ity, all well and good. You Comdone Aunt Mary’s Roistering. And you do assimilate it during the existence of the play before your eyes, - because the Aunt Mary of Miss Robson compels this on your part. wherefore you enjoy the whole thing mightily "pee long as ‘it lasts. Aunt Mary is a _ potent figure of fun, ‘there’s consider- able interest in the story of how she af was inveigled to the city in the belief that hef graceless nephew had _ the | » : > ngeasies and needed her ministering care, of how thereafter he and his fei- low scamps took charge of her and led her a merry metropolitan dance, and of how a tangled romance is straight. ened out while all this is going on, to the exceeding happiness of the nephew and his sweetheart, and it's only occa- sionally that you resent the impossible things Aunt Mary's compelled to dv. Tenderness as well as broad farce is revealed in Miss Robson's work—you feel all the ‘time that Aunt Mary's a much nicer old maid than the dramatist paints her, Josephine Drake as Betty Burnett, the nephew's sweetheart, gives the star her best support. David Proctor as the nephew, is excellent, but has been seen here to detter advantage. His college chums are a bit too noisy in their ex- uberance of spirits and should be tamed down considerably. With the exception of Miss Drake, Mr. Proctor, Nina Sa. ville and Harry Crowley, the two lat- ter as domestics in Aunt Mary's house- a ‘ oe the support is mediocre. s e , z 7s -

Dr. Jacob A. Hartmann of 1228 South Broadway says a worthless check for $3, given to Frank Ralph of 1213 Market street by a man for whom the police are now looking, was not signed with his name, as at first reported. “IT have seen the check,’’ says Dr. Hartmann, “apd the signature looks like “T. Hartmann,’ although the ‘T’ is so formed that it is difficult to guess just what letter was intended. “I believe the check was written and signed by a man introduced to me Fri- day afternoon,* March 13, in the Morgue, by Mr. Provost, superinetndent. This man accompanied me to the Cor- oner’s office, and on the way asked me for one of my business ecards, which I gave him. Then, at his request, I in- troduced him to Deputy Coroner Lloyd. ‘I have since be told that he passed this worthless chéck in payment for 4 $3 mea] ticket at a restaurant, but that the ticket was not delivered to him, being held until he should call again, after having obtained two meals on it. I am also told that the man had quite a number of my business cards, which he must have had printed from the one card I gave him. ‘I do not know Frank Ralph, the man who complained at the Morgue that he had been victimized by a worthless check.’’ p WORKS OF DICKENS WILL BE PAPYRUS CLUB SUBJECT Music and General Discussion of “The Present Financial Dis- turbance” to Follow.

ino REVEALS | ~—-AGHOSTLY CREW IN WRECK AT SEA Captain and Men Cling to Hull When Gale Capsizes Schooner. —_ —_—_—_-- SPEND WEEK OF HORROR

Rescued, Nearly Starved to Death, When Steamer Crosses Path.

NEW YORK, March 24.—The Etruria brought home yesterday from Queens- town Capt. Griffis and five of the crew of the Baltimore schooner William H. Skinner, which nearly capsized, righted her self again, with her provisions near- ly all spoiled, and became a floating wreck, abandoned after a week of suf- fering, the steamship Bray Head chanc- ing along and taking the castaways to Ireland. The first piece of the William H. Skin- mer’s bad luck was when she lost her port anchor and chain on the way from Baltimore to Georgetown, S. C., where ghe arrived on Jan. 18. On Feb. 14 she sailed from Georgetown for New Haven, Conn. The next day she was wrestling with a roaring southerly gale, with thundering seas smiting deckload and gehooner every minute with a force -mothing man-made could stand. The vessel struggled so hard the the seams. Within an hour after this trouble began, with the full vent of the gale beating Gown upon her and a rush of waters, the struggling vessel was knocked over upon her port side until her deck was nearly vertical. The Captain and his men jumped for the weather gunwale, scrambling upon the groaning, slimy hull and lashing themselves with halyards and down- hauls to the starboard chain plates. “Three Hours on the Hull. In the second that the ship had gone over the remaining deckload of lumber was thrown overboard with a roar that was heard above the bellow of the gale nd the booming of the seas. .. During three hours of | aptivity on the uppermost side of the erumbling schooner, the waves dashed self-imposed over the men. She righted as abruptly as she had lain over, every man finding himself : suddenly beneath the waves. With their knives. they cut themselves free and @ewarmed over the bulwark, back on deck. Fore upper topmast and main and mizzen masts, the ship's boat, all , the fresh-water casks, much of her gear of the bulwarks—all were \ gone; ‘the vessel was water soaked, the deck Jevel with the boisterous ocean. Captain and crew now devoted them- to the desperate work of saving provisions they could find that oe were not ruined by the sea. There was — Uittle left for them. Of fresh water e was not a drop.

Twelve vear-old Joe Linn of Edwards- ville has a variegated black and blue bruise on his right shoulder of which he is exceedingly proud. It was made by the “‘kick’’ of his father’s shotgun when he let fly both barrels at a thief who was raiding the chicken coop whilo Joe was in charge of the household. What makes Joe specially proud is the fact that drops of blood show the bullets went home. Joe is the tow-headed oldest son of John P. Linn. The father is advertis- ing in Edwardsville newspapers, asking any physician who has recently picked birdshot out of a man to communicate with him. He hopes in this way identity of the thief. Mr. and Mrs. Linn live in Metcalfe place. When they went downtown shop- ping Saturday evening they left Joe with strict instructions to care for the younger children and the house. Swell- ing with pride, Joe said he would. It was about 10 p. m. when noises from the chicken coops in the rear yard indi- cated that an intruder was among them. Joe knew where the shotgun was. He had often gone hunting with his father, and, although he had never been allowed to carry the gun nor touch It, he knew just how to load it and hold it. He slipped out of the house, waited a few minutes, and let go both barrels at once at a dark figure emerging from the chicken house to an accompaniment of cacklings. When Joe recovered an upright pos- ture he could see no one, but the blood- stains were there. The only. person prouder than Joe of the achievement is his father. WILL TIE MAN TO MACHINE TO DEMONSTRATE EFFECT OF MUSIC ON HUMAN BEINGS Experimenters Plan Marvelous Ex- hibition to Accompany Lecture Before Gotham Audience. NEW YORK, March 24.—Just how much joy or sorrow may be produced in the human system by various kinds of music will, it is confidently an- nounced, be shown with mathematical certainty by a new instrument which will be exhibited in Carnegie Hall to- morrow night. This mechanism will “be shown in all its phases by James E. Homans before the members of the National Society of Musical Therapeutics. As melody rises from piano, from the instrument of seven strings and from the psalter, the subject will be secured to the machine and his blood circulation and the vibra- tion of his nerves accurately measured. Mr. Homans will lecture on ‘‘The Na- ture of Sound Waves,’ and Mr. and Mrs. Karl Feininger will help soothe the, clinical material with piano and violin. The society, which was estab- lished last year, is devoted to the theory that many ills can be cured o1 mitigat- ed by music. GLD BANK OFFICIALS ADMIT STEALING TO PLAY MARKET Teller and Auditor Sent to Jail on Charge of Embezzling $85,000. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 2#4.—Henry Heiber, paying teller, and John Young, auditor of the Farmers’ Reposit Na- tional Bank of Pittsburg, were arrested today charged with embezzling and mis- applying the funds of the banx. The arrests were made by the United States authorities and on information furnished by W. L. Folds, bank exam- iner. United States Commissioner W. T. Lindsay committed them to Jail in default of bail. Officials of the bank say the men are $85,000 short in their accounts. That they had worked in collusion for some time is admitted by both, who have con- fessed their guilt. Both prisoners admit having specu- lated in stocks with money which they systematically took from the bank. For a long time the pair managed to conceal their shortcomings by manipulating amounts of cash on hand in the bank here and the amounts of cash on de- posit in New York banks. Rieber and Young were among the absent employes of the bank. ROOSEVELT ASKS HOW HE CAN PUNISH ANARCHIST EDITOR Orders Fiery Publication Barred From Mails and Would Recom- mend Criminal Prosecution. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 2%4.—President Roosevelt has ordered the Postoffice Department to stop the distribution of “La Questione Sociale,’””’ an inflamma- tory anarchist newspaper published in Paterson, N. J. He has asked the de- partment of justice to show him a way to prosecute the editors criminally. The sudden action of the President is the outgrowth of the publication in La Questione Sociale of an article urg-

jing its friends to sieze the rifies in the Paterson armory, shoot down the police and soldiers in the city, burn dwellings and take over the government of the town. Ludiaguil Caminita, chief editor of La Questione Sociale, when told of the he gaan move against his paper, “We defy the President, the mayor, the police and all the rest.”

ITALY VS, ELKINS 1S CAUSING ALL FUROPE WORRI Possibility of an American Girl on Throne Makes Rulers Uneasy.

MORGANATIC? NEVER!

Daughter of U. S. Senator Will Be King’s “‘Cousin” or Outt.

Copyright. 1908, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) LONDON, March 24.—A correspondent of the Post-Dispatch and New York World has learned from an authoritative source that the possible engagement of Miss Elkins of Washington to the Duke of the Abruzzi, a member of the Italian royal family, is occupying the serious attention of practically every foreign ministry in Europe and is viewed with alarm by even the least conservative monarchists. If King of Italy gives his formal con- sent it will be in the face of delicate and tactful, but none the less strong and pointed, protests from every brother monarch in Europe. Victor Emanuel is sentimental and his own marriage is about as non-royal as it could possibly have been, his fa- ther-in-law, the old Prince of Monte- negro, never having been considered as a real monarch and certainly nét royal. But the consequences of an American marriage in his family and the precedent it would set in Europe are things of no ight weight, grave enough indeed to occupy serious attention of the whole Cabinet. Morganatic Union Impossible. It is known that Miss Elkins would never accept a morganatic union; that could be easily arranged without any fuss. She demands a real out-and-out royal marriage, and would expect to be accepted as “cousin” by the King, Queen Eleana, the Dowager Queen Margherita and, not the least important, by the haughty Orleans Princess, who is the Duchess of Aosta, wife of the elder brother of the Duke of Abruzzi. This could never, never be. But, as- suming that it might, what would hap- pen next? The American girl, with her millions, her Saratoga trunks filled with ravishing gowns, her sprightly vivacity, her extraordinary adaptability, which have carried everything before her in Europe for a generation, has so far been contented with the pick of the old nobility, with the privilege of going to court with the strawberry leaves of the non-royal Duchess on her brow. Too Close to the Throne. But can she stand next to the throne? Can any chance be taken which might seat her on the throne, on any throne? In Italy the wife of the Duke of the Abruzzi would have a very good chance of becoming Queen—the gamble would almost be with the odds in her favor, as such things often go. And what complications would then arise. “Ye gods!’’ the old diplomats exclaim, ‘Where would Italy be with a possible American papa-in-law to dictate the state policy from Washington, and with no conception of the rules and regula- tions of the game?’ The possibility of a marriage between Gladys Deacon and the German Crown Prince was never as exciting as this between Miss Elkins and the Duke of the Abruzzi, but society—which here in- cludes diplomacy—says unanimously that this will meet the same fate as the other. Its effect would be too stupendous, not alone in the serious complications that might arise in the marriage itself, but from the precedent. Where would the American girl stop if once allowed a Prince of the royal blood in an equal- status marriage? “TAFT AND BRYAN NOMINEES” “Bat’ Masterson and Norman Mack Agree Thus Far, Then— Special to the Post-Dispatch. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 24.—Nor- man E. Mack, Democratic national com- mitteeman, and “Bat” Masterson, Roose- velt appointee, a Deputy Marshal! in New York, discussed candidates here to- day. They agreed Taft and Bryan would be the nominees, “Taft is the only one that has a chance,” said ‘‘Bat.”’ “For the nomination?” asked Mack. “Both that and election,” answered Masterso: . “Weil, we will agree that both will be nominated, and then we will wait for results.”’ DUCHESS’ DOG IS DISINTERRED Her Grace of Manchester Had Ca- nine Cemetery.

PIs nated Tielman | Woman Still Hopes Negro Will Buy Home and Give Her Rebenge in Cabanne Feu Mrs. Anna Keough Relates Her Troubles With Cates Ave- nue Neighbors. TENEMENT IS PLANNED Prospective Purchasers Think Property Well Fitted for Blacks’ Lodging House.

Driven to desperation by what she terms the heartless persecution of her neighbors, Mrs. Anna Keough has de- cided that the beautiful mansion at 5601 Cates avenue is no longer ‘‘Home, Sweet Home” to her. Surrounded with beautiful shrubbery, every bunch of ,which its mistress has planted and tended with her own ands during the last eight years, the othe?f- wise perfect property is disfigured by a glaring sign, which bears the words: “For Sale.”’ Not only is the nome for sale, but through advertisements, it is offered, negroes in particular, and if such aie is effected, Mrs. Keough, as she sa in her own words, ‘‘will go out the back door as they enter the front’’ and there- after she will seek to forget the unhap- py months and years in which she has been at strife with some of her neigh- bors while trouble was constantly cast- ing its ominous shadow over her daily path, leaving the lines and seams in her middle-aged face which should be- long properly to old age. Mrs. Keough told a Post-Dispatch re- porter her version of the story of the neighborhood feud which has resulted in long months of heart-burnings, bitter words flung across a backyard fence, scathing telephone messages, petitions, lawsuits, expenditures of various sums of money, a fire thought to be in- cendiary origin and, finally, in the like- lihood that colored persons will invade the hertofore exclusive Cabanne dis trict. Is Not Seeking Revenge. “IT am not seeking revenge by offering my house for sale to negroes,’’ Mrs. Keough said, ‘“‘but life has been made so miserable for me and I have endured so long the sight of the grinning, mock- ing glances which have been directed toward me, that I am willing to leave something behind when 1 depart from my old home which will remind the neighbors that they did not appreciate the pride and care I always took to have my house and yard a credit to the locality. Everything on my lot has been in good repair and well painted. Tne small building on the rear of my let which has caused so much of this contention has always been sightly, and the neighbors have shown need of this little store by their liberal patronage. After the trouble came up, the servants of the worst complainers were slyly sent for supplies because the little place was so handy. I have known of some of them running $15 and $20 a menth on credit. “Well, I am a hard-working woman and the rental I have had from my five- room building, which faces Belt avenue, Was very necessary for the family liv- ing. My husband has not done very well in business and all of this expense, loss of rental and trouble has worried him no less than me. You see me now, a broken woman, in middle life, on the verge of nervous breakdown, scourged from the home I have worked so hard to beautify and live In peaceably in my declining years, and now I am driven te get away if I would retain my health and reason. ‘This little house of contention, which now stands burned and damaged until it would cost $1000 to put it in repair again, was on the lot when I bought this place eight years ago. I did not in- crease the size of it one foot, but at the time of the World's Fair I went to the ‘Building Commissioner and explained that I wanted to fix the building in good repair for renting. I found I would have to get the permission of the ma- jority of the neighbors before I could do this. “TJ, personally, took the petition to several of the neighbors and my lawyer sent a man to others. We got the sig- natures of the majority of persons liv- ing in the vicinity. I went ahead with the work and spent $2000 fixing the place up nicely. “pifficulties about the survey line be- tween my yard and the lot adjoining caused some controversy. Over the tele- phone we disagreed about the boundary until I had a survey made and recov- ered the foot of ground which had been encroached upon. “T tried to make allowances for children, but my life has been made miserable for these long months. I acted on the advice of a lawyer I had retained to advise me and was cited for contempt of court, then my house of contention was nearly burned down. If I can find any person, it doesn't matter about their color, I will sacrifice my home, which I am attached to in spite of all the hard ships I have undergone here. “I had an offer of $9000, but when the time come to parting with the place my heart failed me and I de- clined the offer. Now, however, I have determined to sell. Apartments are being erected all around and this place can be used for the same pur- pose. The day of the neighborhood has passed and colored people may buy if they choose. I have had sevy- eral colored gentlemen here to jook at the place and it is their intention to make my ‘home a rooming

a dollar or more have gone about the neighborhood soliciting money to pay the attorney fees for the prosecution I have been under.” Negroes Are Well Received. The ‘‘colored gentlemen,” as Mrs. Keough refers to the prospective pur- chasers of dusky complexion, ring the front door bell and are ushered by a bright-faced maid into the elegantly furnished drawing room with its bard- wood floors, thick rugs, piano and at- mosphere of refinement, where they talk over the possible purchase of the property. Mrs. Keough herself shows them through the spacious rooms, her only object being to dispose of the proper- ty as best she may, so as to get away from the scene. Mrs. Keough has not definitely planned what she will do after she closes a sale on her house. It is possible she may move to an- other part of the city and begin life anew in the afternoon of her life. MAN KILLED BY TUMBLE FROM WINDOW; TWO HELD Roeslin and Mrs. Clark Say Michael Casey Accidentally Fell Out. Mrs. Annie Clark of 1119 North Fif- teenth street is being neld for the Cor- oner during investigation of the death of Michael Casey. He fell from a win- dow of her home 22 feet to the stone paved alley, and died Monday evening at the City Hospital from a skull frac- ture. Harry Roeslin of 1588 Biddle street, who was in the room, was also ar rested. Both he and Mrs. Clark say Casey lost his balance while leaning from the window. Casey was 38 years old. He lived at 1124 North Eighteenth street. SON FINED AS FATHER DIES; PAROLED FOR THE FUNERAL Sisters Had Him Arrested, Charg- ing He Disturbed Peace of Their Sick Parent. A few minutes after Judge Kleiber had fined Alois Arnold $10 in the Wyoming Street Police Court Tuesday, a telephone message reached the Court that Martin Arnold of 3547 South Second street, fa- ther of Alois, was dead, and the fine was stayed in order that he might at- tend the funeral. Arnold was arraigned on cemplaint of his married sisters, Mrs. Amanda En- gelman and Mrs. Albertina Harke, who said he went home intoxicated Monday and disturbed their father, who was suf- fering from pneumonia. The father was 73 years old. MOTHER ASKS POLICE TO FIND SON SHE THINKS IS NEWSBOY Searches for 15-Year-Old Boy Who Escaped From Illinois Indus- trial School. Believing that he is selling newspapers on one of the street corners of St. Louis, Mre. Mary Madison of 7900 Alli- son avenue, St. Louis County, has asked the police to look for her 15-year-old son, Frank Johnson, who on Feb. 11 ran away from the Industrial School at St. Charles, Il. Two years ago Mrs. Madison, who was then living in East St. Louis, sent her son to the Tllinois institution be- cause he was continually running away from school. Despite the fact that he was carefully watched by the guards he made his escape from the school last month. His mother, who has been conducting a quiet search for him ever since, was recently informed that he had come to St. Loule and was selling papers here. He is .5 feet tall, has red hair and a freckled face.

vaagie nda seacesinine Venice | i STRIKES RABBI AND THEA GETS WARRANT a. _— She First Talked It Over, Finally “Punched His Face,” Witnesses Say.

————ome When Mrs. Sarah Kovlovski, a bride of four months, was told that Rabbi Benard Abramovitz had been “talking about her, she first went to his home and punched his face,’’ as a mermber of the rabbi’s household expressed it. Then She obtained a warrant charging him with slander. He will answer the charge in the Court of Criminal Correc- tion. Rabbi Abramovitz is in charge of three Synagogues in the Ghetto. Mrs. Kov- lovski and her husband atend one of them. Rabbi Abramovitz knew her in Russia, where she was first married. She obtained a divorce and came to America and married Kovlovski. She was a happy bride until the rabbi learned of her second marriage. He sent for her, she says, and threatened to denounce her from the pulpit. Denounced in Pulpit... Mrs. Kovlovski says the rabbi then vis- ited the homes of her relatives and told them her second marriage was improper, and that she hed never been regularly divorced frem ner first husband. The same statements were made from the pulpits of his synagogues, Mrs. Kovlov- ski says. When Mrs. Kovloveki was in formed of the rabbi’s alleged utterances she hur- r'ed to his home at 1415 Carr street and upbraided him in Russian for his con- duct, declaring she had.a right to mar- ry again. She denounced him with all the z’s in the Russian language, and struck him. Satisfied With Arrest. Mrs. Kovlovski and her young hus- band, Morris, discussed the matter long and earnestly in their home at 928 North Tenth street. Morris for a time con- sidered visiting the rabbi in person and doing a little “punching” on his own account, but finally decided he would cause the arrest of the rabbi. ' Rabbi Abramovitz said Tuesday he be- lieved the couple should live apart until their matrimonial troubles are settled and that this provoked the trouble. BLIND PREACHER STARVES SELF Builder of 26 Churches Refuses to Live Without Sight. SANTA MONICA, Cal., March 4.—The Rev. Cephas M. Baird, a retired Lu- theran clergyman, who has organized and built 26 churches since 18, fell asleep two months ago near an open fireplace. A live coal ignited a newspa- per Mr. Baird had placed over his face and he was terribly scorched. His sight was destroyed. After weeks of treatment, during which the patient improved, Mr. Baird asked the physician if he would ever see again. The doctor told him no. Then Mr. Baird refused food and de- clared he did not wish to live without sight... He died last night from exhaus- tion and lack of nourishment. Lecal Option Vete Agreed On.

SPANKING BLOCK LATEST AID TU JERSEY JUSTICE Laying on of Hands by Husky Bailiffs Cures Boys of Shooting Craps,

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 24.—‘Shooting craps, eh?’ angrily said Recorder James Kelley, frowning down on ten small boys ranged before him in the Kearny (N. J.) Police Court “Shooting craps, eh? Well, I have come to the conclu- sion that it does no good to fine you young gamblers. Fines punish not you, but your parents, who pay them. I shall try to make you feel the sting of punishment.”’ The Recorder immediately informed the parents that he proposed to spank the culprits, adding: “If you wish to in- flict the punishment, very well; if not, I will have it attended to."’ Three mothers and two fathers hast- ened to a room back of the police court; the parents of the other boys sent word to the Recorder to go as far as he liked. The Recorder and two big policemen, who have large, calloused palms, joined the party in the room back of the court; the prisoners were led in one by one. The boys’ shrieks could be heard a block away, and they emerged weep- ing bitterly. But they soon dried their tears. “I got only seven whacks,” said the smallest boy. “It came 11 for mine,” biggest.

At an open-air banquet last Saturday at which Horn was a guest he refused to make room at the table for Dr. Blue and his assistants. “I am the British Consul-General,” he said, “and I move for nobody.” The incident has caused a great stir in San Francisco. Horn refuses to dis- cise the matter. Dr. Bive is waiting for an apology. remarked the

Warner and Priesmeyer are types of all that is objectionable in metropolitan life.” They are accused of crime. The crime in which it is al- Ikeged that they were the principals has already public enemies.

BREWERS TO THE RESCUE. — Among the men who presented affidavits yes- terday to the effect t Delegates Warner and Priesmeye> could not have a fair trial in St. Louis were two brewers, both of them supposably in- terested with them in their “business,” so far as trey have any. The Court will decide whether these: men are so rctorious and the popular prejudice against them ix. so strong that they cannot hope. for a fair trial here, but it is worthy of note that conspicu- cus among those who raise the issue are men engaged in an industry which is just now under scrutiny and under fire in many places. Warner and Priesmeyer are types of all that is objectionable in metropolitan life.” They are accused of crime. The crime in which it is al- leged that they were the principals has already been established by the conviction of an acces- sory. At their best in politics, they are public nuisances. Considered at their worst, they are public enemies. | One of the most formidable indictments brought against brewers here and elsewhere is that they ‘are not content to carry on their business cir- cumspectly, but must in the nature of things undertake to dominate politics and interfere with the administration of Justice. The brewery in polities, or the brewery in the vestibule of the courts, is an affront to decency. When brewers hasten to the defense of men like Warner and Priesmeyer it will have to be admitted that the accusation often brought against them that they are as defic’:nt in common sense as they are in political matiagement is ob- viously true. In this case as in many others they have gone out of their way to affront public sen- timent. 3 . Under all the circumstances it would appear that the brewers had enough troubles on their hands at this time without making common cause with the wretches in the St. Louis House of Dele- gates, who have made representative government in this town so contemptible that the name itself las become hateful to a majority of the people. Most of these troubles have been brought upon themselves by their arrogance, greed and ambi- tion and a .pestiferous dispcsition on their part te project their beer-selling interests into the limelight of politics on all occasions. With 75 or more counties: in Missouri “dry,” largely because of the pernicious brewery and sa- loon influence upon public affairs, how much more impressive must be th2 popular warning before our brewers will be content to let politics alone, to leave lawbreakers to their fate, to re- sist the temptation to rescue every saloon-keep- irg scoundrel who gets into trouble and to cease their insolent efforts to subject the community and the State to the base feudalism of beer? Many a man has surrendered personal liberty ‘n some things to chastise this presumption. How much farther do the brewers want that spirit to g0?

a wea ee WHEN ELKINS ASSUMES THE PURPLE. Roman history is not all made yet by a long shot. If Duke Steve Elkins, formerly of Missouri, should have in due course a grandson through an &'liance of the Royal House of Elkins with the Royal House of Savoy, the aforesaid bouncing youngster would be in line for the throne of Rome, and gran’pap himself would have what sports call a look-in. He would be on tho waiting list, in any event. For, as envious and impatient nobility has a hab- it of putting it, “if the right peoPle should die,” ke might have to become Regent or Lord Protec- tor of the Realm as Somerset was of England. We judge that Steve would fill up an interreg- num completely and with considerable eclat. He never let anything else get away from him. We fency he would on assuming the purple revive «x good many of the more ancient traditions oi that doughty Empire, and unquestionably teach the ancient Senate a few new wrinkles. Augustus found Rome a collection of bricks and left it a city of marble. Wait and see what hap- pens when Augustus Antoninus Stephanus Ben- ton Elkins dons the purple and the imperial gar- lands. It would be a great thing also for his brother Sam of Columbia, Mo., who has been Postmaster of that Boone County metropolis lo these many years in anticipation of greater things. Sem, of course, would be made Postmas- ter of Rome or Prefect of the Praetorian Guards, or both. With Sam hoiding down these jobs, and with everything going Steve's way in the Senate, it would be no more irouble for Steve to perpetuate his rule in Rome than it is to keep everything nailed down tight in West Virginia and Wash- ington. | | Success, then, to the Elkins-Abruzzi alliance. oe BELLING THE ROOSEVELT CAT. Many conferences between distinguished repre- sentatives of Western business interes and ‘the President of the United States were held last week, and, according to all accounts, two import- ant results were reached. One of these was a polite invitation on the part of the Western gentlemen to the public function- ary before mentioned to deal gently and conserva- tively with business interests in any com- munications which may be sent to Congress hereafter. The other was a document signed by all the visitors testifying to the President's good intentions and placing all the blame for the panic upon the San Francisco earthquake.

+>» vv’ LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Rear-End Signal. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. With the permission of the Post-Dispatch, we will continue to call attention to the necessity in our city of rear-end signals On our street cars, until the city authorities will see the necessity of com- pelling the United Railways to provide suitable pro- tection to the public. The recent accident from which Miss Clara Kobusch received such severe injuries from being struck by O. L. Halse’s auto emphasizes the liability and great danger that exists and that has been created by our street car lines and from which they should be compelled by law to protect the public, or must it be that our women and chil- dren must suffer to save this company the small ex- pense of a signal that would notify those who want to pass behind their cars that there is a car or an auto approaching, and thus warned of the danger the accident would be avoided. kK. P. TRYING. The Colored High Schocl!. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Since there !{s such strong opposition to locating the Sumner High School for colored pupils in the neigh- borhood over which there is so much controversy, why not locate it in the district between Garrison and Jefferson, Washington and Olive? This central district of the city is already densely populated with the colored people, their most influential churches are there, with a possibility of more to come; the streets, to a large extent, are occupied by them for business purposes; Market, Laclede, Lawton, Pine, Morgan, Franklin, Wash are almost given over to them as residence districts; Locust and Washington are soon bound to follow. To me it is wonderful what these people have done for themselves in a little more than forty years, starting out into the world with empty pockets, helpless as children, op- posed at every turn. A SYMPATHIZER.

Why We Don’t Marry More. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. On my way home from downe car I had the pleasure to see and hear five pretty girle. They had been shoping and carried suit cases laden with fineries (I suppose). The dis- cussion hinged on hats. Said one: “Oh,I thought that $18 hat was quite pretty.” I was stunned—to think of a bevy of pretty girls—anyone of whom would suit me for a wife, and yet their expensive and lofty ideals in headgear prohibits young men from making their acquaintance, for a man earning $20 a week cannot buy $18 hats or $8 hose. For their own good, I hope they come down a peg—this girl in blue, the one in black, the other in lavendar, the $18 girl in brown, and ithe fifth also in black. A whole week’s wages for a hat—oh Lord! -X. CUSEME.

Advice From a Domestic. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I notice in your valuable paper some few evenings ago a letter, “Why can’t people get girls,” telling about the young girl who worked in the Clifton Heights family and was cheated out of $4.75, or two weeks’ wages, which would make $ by right, be- cause she broke a cheap 25c vase. Now, I wish to say that I have been a servant girl in St. Louis for 20 years, but in all my. experience as a servant I have never heard of deducting $4.75 for a cheap glass vase. That girl must have been an easy mark to accept it. I think such people get a girl every few weeks to clean their house up, and when she breaks something, deduct a couple of weeks’ wages, and by doing that get their house cleaned for nothing. Ex- cellent idea! But if that girl were wise she would sue for her wages. GOLDEN RULE. “The Fiske Idealists.” To the Editor of the Post-Disy:‘~, Idealist Werner pleads guilty under the impeach- ment, in so far as desiring the unattainable consists in wanting a delivery of that which you pay your money for—which ideal, by the way, is the one that is gained perhaps less than one-third of the time, whether it be food, clothing, knowledge, amusement or love. I have come to an appreciation of the fact that a new ideal has been thrust upon me, whose fulfillment, however, will never be attained until my mental capacity rises to the point of being able to understand actionless plays and wordless dia- logues. And when I ‘get that far along, ‘my idealis- tic soul, not remaining sati*tied pantomime, may long for dramatic presentations, a la Mrs. Fiske, of ‘Wilhelm Meister’? and ‘‘Sartor Resartus.’’ Of course,I am somewhat backward men- tally in these days of horseless carriages, wireless telegraph, “‘songs without words,”’ etc., and must admit that my idealism is still perched low, some- what like that of the Italians’ in New York who brought tuning forks aiong with them to the opera to test Caruso, and wanted their money back, be- cause, instead of reaching high C, as advertised, he only reached B flat. N. J. WERNER.

Obstacles to Propinquity. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We have had quite a lot of discussion on the sub- ject of matrimony. Many are deploring the fact of so many women becoming old maids. They seem to think there is criminal negligence on the part of some men becauge they have allowed these women to become old maids. Many and divers have been the reasons assigned for the seeming indifference to the martimonial.state. As a man of 45, who has so far been of that. class who profit by the experience’ of others and become happy. I think I can tell some. reasons why men don’t care to enter the marriage state.

HOW OLD IS CLARA? “HERE are five girls in the T fiat. Rose says: ‘“‘Our com- bined ages are 132 years. I am 28. Clara is one-half as old as I am plus one-fourth Bella’s age. How old is Clara?’’ “She’s two years younger than me,’’ says Vern. “and I’m_ two years younger than Anna.” Ou another occasion Rose adds this statement: “Anna is four years older than Clara, who is two years younger than Vera, who is eight years younger than Bella. I am 28. Clara is half my age, plus one- fourth Bella’s age. All our ages total 132.” Problem: How old is Clara? The Post-Dispatch offers a prize of FIVE DOLLARS for the correct solution. A typographical error in the first installmert of this story changed the problem. A large number of persons attempted to solve it on the basis of that statement and several succeeded, although Ivan Whin thought so- lution was impossible. He had in mind the complete story which the proper ages affect. The best of the solutions on the basis of the statement in the first instal- ment was by Margie Leonard of 1537 Hogan, to whom a check for $5 will be sent. THE PRIZE OF FIVE DOLLARS IS STILL OPEN and will be paid to the person sending to the Post-Dispatch the best solution of the problem as printed in the second instalment, and above.

“His name does not sound like a swear word. It is a beautiful name. ‘ It is Henry Lampton. So there, now.”’ “All right,’’ said Bella, wearily. ‘I guess I'll have to marry Bunce. When are you going to be married, Rose?’ “Never!’’ cried Rose, seizing her de- jected friend in her arms. “I'll never desert you.” They cried over each other through sheer nervousness and fatigue. Clara smiled on them callously. “Why, Rose,”’ she cried, “look at vour placket. I hope you haven't been g0- ing around all evening that way. You really ought to learn how to dress your- self.”’ Rose stormed at her angrily. “You let me alone. I’m as wel! dressed as you are if I don’t wear immodest cor- sets and waste half my life on my hair.”’ “Stop quarreling, girls, and go to bed,”” Bella commanded, and very si- lently each went to her room, Rose and Bella sadly reflecting on the broken partnership and Clara full of rosy dreams for the future. Lampton was plainly smitten, but he took a long time to reach the point of proposal. Vera demanded her share of the flat property and Bella settled with her and with Anna out of her own purse. Clara was not willing to contribute and Rose could not afford to pay her share in ®& lump sum. The season of theaters passed and summer gardens set in, but Lampton did not propose.

This preparation has the tremendous ad- vantage over hair-dyes of containing no ail- ver, sulphur, lead or other poisons which in- variably cause hair-falling. It has no o¢or, no ofl, no sediment and no grease, and does not rub off on the clothing. It makes the balr grow out fluffy and luxuriant.

What on earth! Why the idea! Oh, you horrid thing!” “Peace my child.” Bella magnani- mously said no more but went to bed. Clara was married tn October. It was a church wedding, with much music and abundant flowers. Clara's aunt paid the bill. She had given little heed to her niece during the girl's period of self support, but now that she was to marry a “*reasonable amount of riches the aunt felt the stirrings of duty.

These are to be seen in all colors, black silk being, however, specially popular in this con- nection, while the shoes are decorated with large cut-crystal buckles in quaint Louis XVI _ settings, which provide a very effective relief to the tint of the silk. All extra decoration is strictly ta- booed, the shoes in question being inno- cent of beading and cut very long over the toes after the fashion which is more than popular nowadays. Periwinkles represent a very” favorite millinerial flower just now, especiaily where hats for children are concerned, the blossoms being arranged in wreaths round the dome-shaped crowns of tne hats, and mingled with quantities of natural-colored follake and long ten- drils.

ne tain his job as the regular first base- man for the Browns. The veteran first sacker is going nicely this spring. He has lost none of his Speed or hitting ability and those good qualities are likely to carry him through another Season as a regular. . It is too early yet to say what Arthur Brdwn will show. So far he has not come up to expectations and is pretty far from major league standing, but he is a young fellow and has plenty of room and time to expand. Manager McAleer has been keeping him at the first bag working with the regulars every day, as he wants the youngster to have every chance in the world to make good. Tom Jones, in the meantime, has been cavorting about the first corner for the second team and has been more like a youngster than the young Eastern er who comes with such favorable recommendations. But when the time comes for the championship games to begin, Tom Jones will be back on first base as the regular man unless some- thing extraordinary takes place in,the next two weeks. Brown will have to strike a pace that he has not yet even suggested in order to beat Old Tom out of the job. Manager McAleer is tempted to try Bert Blue out as a first baseman ev- ery time he looks at the young and tall catcher. Blue has the build for the position and so far has shown that he is fast enough to fill the require- ments for a man of today at first base. He is a young fellow not more than 23, but he is smart on al] thing's per- taining to baseball and capable of léarning still more. Blue has never played the position regularly and it might be impossible to prepare him for the coming season, but McAleer believes that he would make a wonder at the place and if he is not badly needed behind the bat, he will get a trial at first base before they let him go to any other club.

SLOAN CALLS COLIN THE WISEST HORSE ON TURF

ee Former Jockey Declares Keene Colt Can Race by Himself— Wearing of Spurs and Abusing Horses Condemned.

I sensitiveness of the thoroughbred. No man can know the horse or fully realize his remarkable instinct and sa- gacity unless he has been brought up with horses. I say this out of the full- ness of my experience, for I started as a stau.e boy. I have seen many ex- ceptional demonstrations of the work- ings of a horse’s brain. First of the list of celebrated horses 1 have known I place Hamburg. He belonged to William! C. Whitney, and, with the exception of James R. Keenes Sysonby, and perhaps Colin, he was, in my opinion, the greatest horse this country ever produced. I say ‘per- haps Colin,’ for Colin was the greatest 2-year-old I ever saw, and there is no telling what he will develop into. Not even in England did I ever see a 2-vyear-old like him. He does his own racing, and, as the saying goes, “could race without a rider.”” He stands at the post as gentile as a cow and knows more about getting away at the start than half the jockeys. Hamburg was one of the sweetest dispositioned horses that ever raced. In a race you could place him anywhere vou liked and he would always do his best. He loved to race, as any good thoroughbred does, only he would do his level best under all conditions, and had none of the vagaries you meet with in some of the greatest racers. I was never beaten on him, and he was one of the few horses I know of who would always try, no matter what the condi- tions. Belmar a Wise Race. The horse that it gave me the great- est pleasure to ride was Belmar, owned by “Pittsburg Phil.”” I won with him in five or six straight handicaps, and when I say that this horse possessed intelli- gence to such a remarkable degree that he knew the winning post anc the con- ditions of racing as well as I did, I am not exaggerating one bit. I got a great deal of credit for winnirg races on Bel- mar that I did not deserve, for I just had sense enough to realize the worth and the intelligence of the animal under me and to let him alone. He deserved the credit and I am pleas- ed to give it to him here. I have won many a race on him by a head, where if the race had been run a second faster or if he had carried ten pounds more weight, I am sure the result would have been the same. I early learned his pe-

culiarities and his splendidly developed Copyright, 1908, by the Press Pubhshing Co. (New York World.) By TOD SLOAN N concluding this series of articles on recipg Post-Dispatch, I feel that, in addition to t the sport, I should say something about the horses—about the whims, peculiarities, characteristics and, above all, for the Evening World and e men who are prominent in the wonderful intelligence and instinct. The horse naturally loved to race. He would line up with the other horses at the start as docile as a lamb, would break away and take his position and would invariably make hits move the three-eighths pole on the turn—nearly always at the same place. I am sure he actually took a delight in racing. Did Not Waste Energy. As soon as he reached the winning — his ears would change, and if there S any expression about a horse it is in his ears. No matter how keen or hotly contested the finish had been, the minute he passed the winning post he would entirely relax and would make no further effort. Belmar would play in his stall all day and loved to have company around. He would lick your face like ag dog and was never known to kick or bite. He couldn’t run on a cuppy track or in muddy go- ing, and it is my opinion that his feel- ings were hurt every time he was start- ed under these conditions. I enjoyed something of a reputation for doing more with horses who were ill-tempered and sulky than other jock- eys, but I take little credit for this. I realize it was simply because I knew 'that horses don't like to be bullied. Af- ter I found out a horse’s peculiarities I would play to him accordingly. I attribute my success with horses largely to the fact I did not wear spurs. I have not words severe enough to ex- press my condemnation of the practice of wearing spurs. I found out early in my career that 99 horses out of 100 will do from kindness what they would not dream of doing under the spurring and kicking they so often receive. According to my observation, nine times out of ten, when a horse falls, it is the fault,of the rider. I know this because it happened with me. When jockeys get in jams and tight places they go to pulling their horse's head about from sheer fright until the horse loses control of his actions. Then if he strikes on another horse’s hind legs he goes down. If he is allowed to fight out his own battles under the circumstances he is most apt to win out. Only in a few instances have I known a _ thorough- bred to step on a jockey who had fall- en in a race. Ifa y will He right still when he is thrown the chances are that

Wright’s Defeat by Conklin Ties Up National Billiard Tour- ney Lead.

etl Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 24.—As the result of the defeat of H. A. Wright of San Francisco by Charles F. Conklin of Chi- cago in the final game of the national] amateur championship billiard tourna- ment at 14.2 balkline at the Chicago A. A., Calvin Demarest, for the past two years amateur champion, Wright and Conklin are tied for the title. he men will play off for the championship to- day and tomorrow. Each man won four games and lost one. When Demarest lost a game last week it seemed as though the young Chicago expert would lose out on the champion- ship this year. Now his friends are happy. With a three-cornered tie for the championship it is figured that he will display the class of billiards that early last week made it possible for him to smash three world’s records for the 14.2 game. The game between Conklin and Wright last night was. disappointing, so far as the class of bill'ards was con- cerned. Wright seemed nervous. While Conklin played a steady game he seemed unable to handle the ivories as well as he might. once he got them to- gether. Time after time he would have the three balls line up, only to let one get away from him in playing for po- sition. Wright was out in front in the third inning, 21 to 19, as the result of a run of 20 in the third inning. From then on Conklin pulled away from his op- ponent, a run of 58 in the sixth inning helping greatly. The only time that it appeared Wright had a chance was in the seventeenth inning, when he clicked off 64 points before he missed on an easy single-cushion shot. The remain- der of the game was sicv’. Conklin av- eraged 12 16-32 to 8331 for Wright. On the official averages for the tour- nament Demarest has done the. best work and figures to win the champion- ship in the play-off. The young Chica- | goan has a grand average of 21 18-88 for his five tournament games. Wright, with an average of 16 16-115, is next best. Demarest’s 170 was easily the best run of the tournament. In the afternoon games yesterday for fourth prize, W. . Gardner of Pas- saic, N. Y., defeated J. F. Poggen- burg of New York, 400 to 358.

WHEAT OPENED — EASIER

Cash Demand for Afl Grains Strong and Conditions Generally Improved. —

There were occasional spurts of fair ac- tivity cn°the local wheat market Tuesday, but the trade on the whcle was again small and inostly technical, and prices did not get very far from the previous day’s closing levels, ranging fractionaily above them dur- ing the latter part of the session. The close was %@lc higher for the day 25 bradstreet reports a decrease of 1,125,000 bu in wheat east of the Rocky Mountains,’ a decrease cf 118,000 bu in wneat in Can- ada, an increase o° 400,000 bu in wheat in Europe and afloat and a total decrease f 44,000 ‘bu in the world’s visible supply of wheat, the latter comparing with a de- crease of 283,000 bu at the same time last year. The visible supply in Bu-. rope is 94,912,000 bu. he tone at the siart was somewhat easier, scattered seliing being caused by the ted decline at Liverpool, which followed our fair advance of yesterday, and by the continued reports from the winter belt stating that the weather for wheat.is very good and that the green bugs are far outnumbered by their natural enemies, parasites which devour the bugs. Prices moved slowly, but offerings it soon became evident were small and some nervousness at’ slightly lower levels soon de- veloped. Minneapolis early showed decide] strength and this and the Chicago market trailed alorg in the upward movement, tne chief causes of the buying being a falling off in receipts in the Northwest and with authoritative predictions of further decreases and an advance in the premiums on cash wheat. at Minneapolis. Receipts at most winter markets were quite good in volume, but cash houses in Chicago renorted tnat offerings from the country were the smallest for some time. The foreign crop summary was again construed’ as rather bullish and the good decrease in the world’s visible and the strength in corn also being main- stays of the market, shorts covered rather generally and about noon prices ruled — though quiet, at advances of *%c to “May w heat opened 1-ltc lower at {its @ ye, declined to 95%c, fluctuated between U5tac and t%c, and ‘advanced to 96'gc.
