REBUTTAL IS Railroad Association Combats Government With Docu- mentary Evidence, Albert T. Perkins, who has been em- ployed by the city at a salary of $10,000 a year, as an expert adviser to the Mu- nicipal Bridge and Terminals Commis- gion in its efforts to obtain relief from | the bridge and terminal monopoly, will be one of the star witnesses for the Ter- minal Association in its fight for exist- ence. Mr. Perkins will appear at 3 p. m. Monday as a witness for the defendant at the hearing in the Government’s suit to break up the terminal monopoly in St. Louts. The hearing, which was set for 9:30 a. m, .was postponed until the after- noon, because Mr. Perkins was absent. He ‘has been in the East and was late in getting to St. Louis. Ready to Offer Rebuttal. The Terminal Association is ready to offer testimony in rebuttal to that ta- ken by the Government. The suit ewas filed two years ago, and a mass of evi- dence, tending to show the effect of the bridge and terminals monopoly on the business interests of St. Louis, has been taken by the Government. The evidence shows that all the bridge and transfer facilities in St. Louis and Alton are owned and controlled by the Terminal Association. The Government charged, in its suit, that this monopoly constitutes a violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. The Government finish- ‘ed taking testimony last fall. On account of the sickness of M. I. Watts, counsel for the Terminal Asso- ciation, and the death of his law part- ner, Judge McKeighan, six months elapsed before the defense was ready to offer testimony. The evidence upon which the Terminal Association will rely, outside of that of Mr. Perkins and a few other witnesses, will be principally documentary. The attorneys for the Government have also offered large volumes of documentary evidepce in addition to that of several hundred witnesses, Say He Favored Terminal. Persons not in sympathy with the Mu- nicipal ridge and -Terminals Commis- sion have charged that Mr. Perkins, While employed by the city to assist in taining relief from oppressive rates and conditions, was too friendly to the Terminal Association. (| For that reason his testimony in. be- half of the monopoly will be follo v:d with unusual interest, especially by the attorneys for the Government. Mr. Per- kins has been employed by the city for more than two years, and, in the ca- pacity of an expert railroad man, ad- vised the Municipal Commission in all its ee with railroad officials. —— _—————— Hard on Taft.

Nearly everybody except Judge Allen was kissed at the Pierce divorce trial Monday. After the motion to dismiss the case lack of jurisdiction was overruled, Mrs,’ Violetta Pierce took the stand io tell why husband, Henry J. Pierce; should not have.a divorce. Then for her rich came the kissing bee. A nurse arose from the _ spectators’ benches, where the eight Pierce children sat, and walked across the room to Pierce with the 3-year-old boy, Ross. Pierce took the boy on his lap and kissed him. Pierce’s lawyers smiled and Mrs. Pierce's of eminent counsel frowned. ; “TI would like to see all of the minor children,’ said Judge Allen. Parade Before Judge; Smack! Priscilla, 15; Catherine, 12; Henry 10, and Evelyn, 7, marched up to the bar, Evelyn mounted the steps of the wit- ness stand and kissed her mamma. Mrs. Pierce drew Gertrude to her and kissed array her, Pierce caught Evelyn in his arms and kissed her. As Priscilla passed his chair he kissed her too. He threw his arms about Henry’s neck and planted a re- ounding smack on his cheek. Violetta and Mildred, two of the grown children, sitting in the back of the court- room, kissed each other. Mrs. Pierce proceeded with her testi- mony. She said she was 46 years Boy and that she became Pierce’s wife Nov. 1881, after she had been engaged to him two months and had known him only 10 weeks. She Didn’t Like His Family. Soon after the marriage, she _ said, Pierce’s relatives got into the habit of coming around and maxing themselves at home. ‘‘He had nine half-brothers and one full brother, and a father and a step- mother and a lot of uncles and aunts and cousins and one grandmother. They stayed at our house for weeks—I might say months—at a time. “One of the aunts caused a lot of trouble. She came to our house and settled. Once when we returned from a three-weeks'’ trip to California we found she had been In ‘ped continuously during our absence, though she wasn’t ill. She took up the time of the nurses so that they couldn't attend to the children.”’ PENNSYLVANIA CAR STONED AFTER EMPLOYES STRIKE 13.—The con- CHESTER, Pa., April ductors and motormen and other em- ployes of the Chester Traction Co. went on strike today because their wages had been cut 10 per cent. Shortly after the strike was called a car was sent to the City Hall for policemen. On the way the car was stoned by a crowd and every window was broken. Traffic is tied up. Sixty motormen and conductors em- ployed by the Southwestern Traction Co., operating a line over tne 13 miles between Chester and Philadelphia, also went on a strike because their wags had been cut 10 per cent.

Dr. Paquin, after examining the stains on the floor, said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter: “Mrs. Mullally was murdered some time Sunday night—possibly late in the evening. The blood was still. red when the body was found. It was coagulated, but if she had been killed Saturday night the blood would have been hard and black. Notes and Money Missing. “Some notes and that Mrs. Mullaliy drew out of the bank last week are missing. Mrs. Paquin went with her mother to the bank to have the notes renewed and to get the money. “I do not know how much money was drawn out, but I think it was a con- siderable sum. Mrs. Mullally owned the house in which she lived and in which her children were born and raised, and she was very much attached to it. She owned several pieces of valuable real estate in St. Louls and was considered wealthy for a woman in that neigh- borhood. “IT think that some one her circumstances killed purpose of robbery.’’ Upon examination at the Morgue it was found that the wound which caused Mrs. Mullally’s death was in the right side of the neck, three inches long and two inches deep. It severed the jugular vein, Detectives say that Mrs. Mullabky apparently had gone to the rear door in answer to u knock. Seeing that she had admitted a rob- ber, the police say, Mrs. Mullally prob- ably ran toward the front door to es- cape. The door is old and the lock is rusty. The detectives think she was overtaken at the door, struck in the neck with the Knife and killed. Patrick Mullally, husband of the mur- dered woman, kept a grocery store at Fifteenth and Market street for many vears. He has been dead a long time. Martin Mullally, a son, died Dec. 81 last.

Cass Gilbert, the New York architect, who is preparing the plans for the new $1,250,000 public library in St. Louls, told a Post-Dispatch reporter in New York that his detailéd drawings were not vet ‘50 per cent done.” “You.‘can’t draw plans for a million- dollar building in a few days,’”’ Mr. Gilbert said. ‘I am taking my time.” Mr: Gilbert’s announcement of the condition of the plans is of particular importance now, because the officials of the library board have repeatedly stated that no contract for the con- struction of the library wil} be awarded and no bids on this contract advertised for until the complete ‘‘working plans and specifications’ are received from New York. Block Cleared for Building. The prospective site of the library— the block bounded by Olive, St. Charles, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets—is now cleared, ready for exca- vators to begin work. The clearing and tearing down of the old Coliseum frame- work has been done, however, since the F'ost-Dispatch several months ago called attention to the dilatory tactics ef the library board in the mattcr of erecting the new library. At that time President Lehmann of the library board expressed the _ opinion that the complete working drawings would be received from Mr. Gilbert in “the spring.’”’ That gentle season has ar- rived. A few weeks ago William K. Bixby, a member of the library board, repeated President Lehmann’s statement that nothing could be done towards begin- ning work on the new library until Mr. Gilbert had completed his work. “TIT don't know when he will have them completed,’’ Mr. Bixby added. “You know how architects are. You can't hurry them.”’ Mr. Gilbert’s statement that he is tak- ing his time and that “you can’t draw the plans for a million-dollar building in a few days’’ seems to confirm Mr. Bix- by’s description of the situation. Has Been on Job Six Months. Mr. Gilbert has been working on the details of the building plans as finally revised and approved since last October. If he has completed only 50 per cent in the work in that interval it is logical to assume that, unless he devotes more time or attention to the job tn the fu- ture, summer will have come and gone and autumn be at hand before his draw- ings will be forwarded here. Meanwhile the Exposition block will remain a naked, unsightly spot and the greater part of the $1,750,000 available for its beautifying will stay in the vaults of two St. Louis trust éompanies. The Library Board has nearly $1,000,- 000 on deposit with the Mississippi Val- ley Trust Co. and the St. Louis-Union Trust Co. A few months ago the Post- Dispatch printed the exact amount the Board had on deposit with each. It was $795,741.77 then with the Mississipp! Val- ley and $126,841.77 with the St. Louis- Union. The Mississippi Valley deposit draws 8 per cent interest. A part of the St. Louis-Union deposit—about § three- fifths—draws 3 per cent, being classed as MUNYON’S PAW-PAW PILLS The best Stomach and Liver Pills known and a positive and speedy cure for Constipation, Indigestion, Jaundice, Biliousness, Sour Stom- ach, Headache, and all ailments erising from a disordered stomach or sluggish liver.

They do not want your alris; they do not want your weak coffee and soup; they want honest work. “IT cannot say who is to blame, but the condition ought to be tak- en in hand by wise statesmen and the situation relieved, or else we will see what France saw in the dark days of the revolution.” a savings deposit. only 2 per cent, count.

The conditions of the gift were complied with by Dec. 1,-1904. The Li- brary Board has had since then to be- gin work. Sickness of Librarian Crun- den, delays in agreeing on an architect, a desire to aid the new Coliseum project and an ambition to raise $600,000 in addi- tion to the $500,000 given by Mr. Carne- gie for the new central library were given as causes of delay preliminary to the agreement upon plans. This was settled last October and Mr. Gilbert has been given as the reason since. The are F. members of the Library Board W. Lehmann, William K. Bixby, John F. Lee, O'Neill Ryan, Edward L.

STUDENT SWALLOWS A TOAD AND WINS $5; CREATURE IS RESCUED AND MADE MASCOT Youth Seeks Doctor and Spends Three Days in Bed After His Exploit. Cadet Sapp of the Western Military Academy, to win a $% bet, swallowed a hop-toad alive. He suffered more than the toad from the experience, but is recovering and is the hero of the acad- emy. The bet was made and won Iasat Wednesday. Cadet Sapp and severa] companions were walking over the ground when the toad was found, and the bet was suggested in jest. Sapp re- ceived it in earnest. “I'll bet $ I can swallow it alive,’ he said, and chased the toad. ‘“‘Taken,”’ called one of his companions, as he cajp- tured the toad. “Put up your money, it was done. After the $10 had been given to Sapp by the stakeholder he hastily sought a physician. “What ails you?’ asked the doctor in astonishment, when, he saw the youth's white face and uneasy expression. ‘‘Hop-ale,”’ Sapp groaned, his fondness for puns asserting itself despite his dis- tress. The doctor administered remedies, and the young man went to bed. He was able to be up and about Sunday.

area Powell is called “‘the most remarkable layman.”’ He is the conductor of the forward movement in churches, doctor of ailing congregations, bearing a rela- tion to churches that the doctor to sick businesses does to the commercial world. He is called Dr. Powell in the churches of 24 denominations, although he has never been ordained a pastor in any. In fact, he has refused ordination on the ground that as a plain business man he can be more useful te the church in general than if he were a clergyman of any one denomination. |. Dedicates Life to Churches, In many respects he is a most remark- able man. .en years ago he gave up business. He was director in several large wholesale concerns and the presi- dent of one. For 25 years he had been interested in church work a particu- larly in the organization of lodges in churches of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip and in lifting churches out of debt. Fvery year he dedicates 52 new churches, and each year $1,000,000 is raised on subscriptions solicited by him in the churches. Speaking of his success in this - par- ticular field Mr. Powell said of his work: “IT am successful in this work becaus2 God called me to it. I come of four generations of British soldiers. Gen- Baden-Powell is my cousin. Instead of fighting my brother man I am fighting Satan for the benefit of mankind. ‘“‘The forward movement fn churches is simply placing them on a good business basis, showing the trustees the best way to conduct the business of the church. In the same manner I would take a sick and failing business and reorganize it and put it on a paying basis. “IT show the women how to organize their aid societies. I build up Sunday schools, Christian Endeavor societies, orzanize brotherhoods, money for building purposes, and mat- ters of that sort. I am a business man and have made a study of church or- ganization and finance. Not Hide-Bound Denominationalist. ‘‘Personally, I am a Methodist, but I am called to work among all denomina- For instance, last week I dedi- cated a Lutheran chureh in Pittsburg, the week before that a Methodist church in Knoxville, Tenn., yesterday a Chris- tian church in St. Louis; next week I will dedicate a United Brethren church in Richmond, Va., and the Sunday fol- lowing a Presbyterian church in Pitts- burg. “How do I do my work? It jis by a carefully planned system. Five weeks before the dedication of a church or the reorganization of its finances I conduct a forward movement campaign in the church, a sort of preparation for the work. “I prepare the congregation to face its responsibility. I put the matter in busi- ness.shape and when the time comes for the members to face my phsgon-neee they are ready for them. “The pledges from the members are in the shape of promissory note’ made out to the trustees, which are negotiable when indorsed by them and can be dis- counted if necessary at the banks. This provides immediate funds, although some of the notes may run for a long time. Works in All Branches. “The work done in the advance movement in th Union Avenue Chris- tian Church has resulted in many things besides raising $65,000. Last Saturday I organized a Pastor's Aid Society with 350 women members: braced up the Christian Endeavor So- ciety; got 150 new scholars into the Sunday school; intersted 255 men in the brotherhood movement, and _in- creased the membership of all the church societies. “I go everywhere for men, into the saloons and gambling houses, into the workshops and foundries, anywhere there is a man to be helped, no matter what his creed may be—that is broth- erhood. I go where I might not be able to go if I were a minister, and I get men because I practice what 1 te ibe $65,000 raised by the mem- bers of the Union Avenue Christian Church Sunday a large part was in cash, and Thursday night there will be a meeting at which a great many of the pledges made will be taken up by the makers of them.

I am visiting counties and organizing societies to fight prohibition. Sometimes I call these or. ganizations “Taxpayers’ leagues and sometimes other names. I can’t state the amount of my compensation, Does Not Hurt Union. “This does not conflict with my work as organizer of the Steamfitters’ Union. I am doing all the work required of me in that capacity and the organizing of anti-prohibition societies is just a side line. “T don’t see how they can claim this work is not being done in the cause of unionism, in view of the fact that the Central Trades and Labor Union adopt- ed a resolution against prohibition and urged all of its members to take up the fight. “I considered that to be an authoriza- tion from the union to do what I am now doing. I am sure the committee will sustain me.” A special committee of five has been appointeq to determine whether or not Sarber and James Conroy, widely known labor leaders, are entitled to their seats as delegates to the Central Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis. In the resolution presented at Sun- day's meeting of the central body, it is alleged that these men are not working at the!r trades or in thé interest of their trades, but that they have been hired by the breweries to make a canvass of the State against prohibition. Investigating Committee. The Investigating Committee appointed by President Owen Miller is composed of Lee A. Woodward, J. Goedeker, A. McCoy, E. Ruhle and T. Carson, each representing a different union. It wili meet at 8 p. m. to consider the reso- lution and will report back to the api Trades and Labor Union April John F. The resolution, introduced by Union Nonnenkamp of Brass Molders’ No. 99, follows: ‘‘Whereas, It has come to our knowl- edge that Treasurer Eugene Sarber of the Central Trades and Labor Union and Delegate James Conroy of the Station- ery Firemen have entered the employ of the breweries to canvass the State against prohibition; and, ‘‘Whereas, This is in direct violation of Sec. 9 of the constitution of the Cena- tral Trades and Labor Union, which provides that persons not working ac their trade shall not be delegates; there- fore, be it ‘Resolved, That these men be request- ed to tender their resignations, and on their failure to comply the presiding of- ficer shall declare their seats vacant and notify their locals to fill the places.” Point of Order Overruled. Delegate Sullivan of Steamfitters’ Union No. 9 was so insistent In his at- tempt to raise a point of order against the resolution that Sergeant-at-Arms Sommers threatened to force him to sub- side, but Suiiivan succeeded in stating his point, which was that the constitu- tion of the union does not authorize the appointment of a committee solely on the basis of a resolution in cases where no formal charges have been preferred. He was overruled. President Miller of the Central Trades and Labor Union said Monday that there is no specific objection against Sarber and onroy working against tg» onerae and that the only thing to e determined is whether or not they are working at their trades or for these trades. “It is alleged that they are doing entirely extraneous work,” said Mr. Miller. “It would be the same if they were making a canvass for prohibition or for any other movement. It is my personal opinion that they are now working for their trades, but, of course, that is a matter which the committee must decide.’’ Floor Dressing Machines.

Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Rosa Dawson and l4-year-old Sadie Johnson @re under arrest, charged with being.ac- cessories before the crime, as a pretense to segregate them until the preliminary examination. Quarreled Over Slayer. Mrs. Johnson’s husband left her last week and went to Grayson, Mo., after a quarrel about Bell's attentions to her. She is 49 years old, and Bell is 41. Mrs. Dawson's husband lei her a year ago, after Bridgeman became at- tentive to her. She is an attractive blonde young woman, and was visiting _ Mrs. Johnson, long her friend, when the tragedy occurred. Her husband lives in Proctor, Ark. Both Bridges and Bridgeman had sep- arated from their wives within the last year. Bridges is a son of Ambrose Bridges, one of the oldest and wealthiest residents of Dunklin County. The father is near death from pneumonia, and has not been informed of the son’s death. Bell was employed on the Bridge farm, which Johnson leased, and _ re- mained there after Johnson left his wife. Bridges ~v.ntinued there as a boarder. Bridgeman, a neighbor, went to the house to spend Saturday night. Victims Drank Freely. Bridges and Bridgeman drank freely during the evening, and angered Mrs. Johnson, who threatened to send for of- ficers. She repeated the threat Sunday morning, and Bell, who sided with her, quarreled with Bridgeman. Mrs. Daw- son, fearing trouble, persuaded Bridge- ~™an to let her have his revolver. Mrs. Johnson told Bell to hitch up a horse, and declared that she herself would go after a Deputy Sheriff. As Bell started from the voom, Bridges stopped him. Bell and Mrs. Johnson both say Bridges threatened them, and drew his revolver. Then Bell opened fire. : Five shots were fired. The first three were well directed at Bridges, two en- tering his breast and one penetrating his left arm after he sank, dying, to the floor. Bridges was in the adjoining room with Mrs. Dawson when the firing be- gan and rushed to his friend's aid. He Was unarmed. Bell fired twice at him, both bullets entering his breast near the heart and one passing through his body. Both men died almost instantly. Sadie Johnson and two of Mrs. John- son's grandchildren, who were in the room, ran forth in terror and hid in a fieki nearby, where they were found during the afternoon. Bridges died, clasping his revolver, and it was not removed from his stif- - fening right hand until after the in- quest at Campbell Sunday night. Cor- oner Rigdon instructed his jury to look at the body. Offers No Resistance. J. L. Bridges, a nephew of the slain man, who lives two miles away, rode past the farmhouse on his way to church, and learned of the double kill. ing. He reported it to Deputy Sheriff J. Darby Faughan, who went to the house. Faughn found Bell fully armed, but the man offered no resistance. He said he was armed in expectation of an ef- fort to lynch him by friends of the dead man. No demonstration was made dur- ing the ride to Campbell, but it was _ thought safest to take Bell to Kennett. Afterward, Faughn arrested the women.

YELLS FAT FAN AT GAME AS HE STEALS A WATCH Enthusiastic Rooters Get Victim Between Them and Rob Him as They Cheer. For uproarious enthusiasm, A. H. Lawrence, 1913 North Grand avenue, never did see anything to equal the con- duct of a 40-year-old fat man who sat on his right and a 20-year-old thin man who sat on his left in the grandstand at Nationa] League Park Sunday after- noon. “Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it?’ yelled the fat man, jump- ing from his seat after a good play had been made, and thumping Lawrence on the back with his fist. “Do you think I was asleep’ said Lawrence, trying to rub the pain from his spinal column. “Of course I saw it.” “Wasn't it great? Wasn't it fine? Wasn't it bully?” screamed the thin man, poking Lawrence in the ribs after each exclamation. “Tt was a peach,” groaned Lawrence, feeling his coat. Lawrence thought it was time he was going. He looked for his watch. It was gone. He looked at the ‘‘fans’”’ on either side of him. They were too engrossed in the game to pay any attention to him. Then he sought his brother, who was in another part of the grandstand. When he returned, the fat rooter and the lean whooper had disappeared. The police say several other thefts were committed at the ball park Sun- day, but they failed to get the names of the other victims.

Object Is to Improve Streets. Street betterment is the purpose of the new Fifteenth and Sixteenth Ward Improvement Association, which will hold its next meeting Wednesday even- ing at Self-Culture Hall, 1832 Carr street. The association pledges its members to he'p keep streets in that district clean ard to go before the Municipal Assembly if necessary to demand repairs and paving. i. xe a had Pa ee 4 ee tf ¥ 7 liga: > rv * BLE Mies al ‘ ay > me y * 4 » j Jectts a - . > a ¢ t tphotographic material

THEFT INVOLVES RICH MAN'S SON Man Who Sold Cameras Says They Were Stolen for Him. Following the confession of Ben Sal- kins, arrested at Nintth and Wash streets Saturday after he had offered for sale to two detectives a studio camera, Chief of Police Creecy Monday wired the Chicago police to arrest Max Scheer, member of a wealthy Chicago family. The theft of nearly $2000 worth of from Sweet & Wallace, photograph supply merchants of 74 ./abash avenue, Chicago, was re- vealed Monday when H. C. Seavers, a member of the firm, arrived here and identified property valued at $500 which was found in a room occupied by Sal- kins at Eighteenth and Wash streets. Salkins told the police he shipped the goods from Chicago to St. Louis after receiving them from Scheer, who was a trusted employe of Sweet & Wai- lace. Fich Man’s Son Arrested. Scheer was taken to police head- quarters in Chicago Sunday, according to Seavers, but, as there was not suf- ficient evidence on which to hold him he was allowed to go home with his father, who holds a high social position, Last Tuesday Detectives Cooper and Scott received information that a young man was disposing of cameras, kodaks, lenses and other photographic supplies

to Market attest jotondtiaia men at ri- diculously low prices. Obtaining a tie- scription of the man Cooper and Scott presented themselves at his apartments and representing themselves as photog- raphers negotiated with him for a studio camera. They claim that Salkins showed them an assorted stock of goods that he had packed away in boxes in his room, but as he did not have the articles they desired to “purchase,” he told them to return Friday and he would have the camera. ‘The detectives returned to Salking’ room Friday afternoon and Salkins sub- mitted a large camera for their inspec- tion. They said they were pleased with it and promised to return Saturday L pay for it. Find Letter from Scheer. Saturday the detectives arrested Salk- ins and searched his room. Among other things they found a letter from Scheer to Salkins, in which the former said he could furnish certain photograph sup- plies. Cooper and Scott say that in the inter- val between their first and second visits to Salkins’ rooms Salkins made a trip to Chicago and got the camera, along with other goods, then shipped them to himself in St. Louis. The police here communicated with Sweet and Wallach Saturday, with the result that Scheer was taken to Chicago police headquarters Sunday and Seavers came to St. Louis Monday. To Assistant Chief of Detectives Mc- Carthy, Salkins said he and Scheer had been systematically robbing Sweet & Wallach for several months. He said Scheer had been obtaining the goods on false orders, shipping them out of the house on the firm’s delivery wagon. Sal- kins says he was disposing of the goods, keeping a portion of the money and sending the rest to Scheer. —_—

UN FROM HOME AND KILLS SELF Missourian Grieved Over thé Death of His Wife Two - Months Ago. ay be 2

William Hart, grieving over the death of his wife two months ago, sent his 88-year-old son away from his home at Mencke, Mo., two miles east of Eureka, then shot himself Monday. He put the muzzle of the revolver fn his mouth to make sure of his aim and died instantly. Since Mrs. Hart’s death her husband has been ill much of the time, and he often told Harry, their only child, that life was not worth living with no wife and mother. Neighbors who heard of these remarks did not construe them to mean that Hart would end his life. dart did not go monday to the lime kiln where he is employed. At 10 a. m. he called Harry and gave him an en- velope containing $100. ‘Take that down to the kiln and tell Mr. Duke to keep it for me,” he told the boy. The boy set out, whistling, to the lime kiln. George Duke, the foreman, per- turbed at the unvésual message, return- ed with the boy, and found Hart dead. He had shot himself standing in front of a mirror.

The question of beans is important. For beans are Nature’s choicest food when they are right. They are 23% nitrogenous—S¢% nutriment. They supply a food value equal to meat, yet they cost but.a fraction as much. They are appetizing and hearty; all people like them. They should be a daily dish—not an occasional. But the trouble is this: and hard to digest, for lack of sufficient heat. Home-baked beans are heavy, Your ovens atoms so the digestive juices can get to them. The result is, the beans ferment and form gas.

Another trouble is this: because they are broken. Home-baked beans are mushy People prefer beans whole. They are baked in dry heat, so the top beans are crisped. The middle beans are not even half baked. That’s why you serve beans so rarely. Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees, and we bake for ninety minutes. Every atom is made digestible. We bake in live steam, so no beans are browned, none are broken. They are baked unti] they are mealy, yet they are nutty because they are whole. Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all together, and get a delicious blend. That is why Van Camp's are so different. We have spent 47 years in léarning how to prepare them. You will eat more beans when you learn how good they can be. One Ten-Cent Can is Free Van Camp’s Pork and Beans Baked with Tomato Sauce Please don’t neglect this offer, for it will not appear again.

We have them picked over by hand so we get only All others are For our sauce, we use only whole tomatoes, ripened on the vines. They are picked when the juice fairly sparkles. Much sauce is made from tomatoes picked green and ripened in shipment. Much is made of scraps from a canning factory. We could buy such sauce, ready-made, for exactly one-fifth that we spend to make ours. But it would lack our richness, our savor, our sparkling zest which Nature alone cao give. That is why baked beans differ so, and why some brands sell for less. But the best beans are cheap enough. The better your people like beans the more they will eat.

WASHINGTON, April 13.—Contempiia- mon reise te is a source of joy in of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, wher@ there is confidence that the next House of Representatives will be Dem- ocratic. The figures, according to the Demo- cratic managers, assure Democratic vic- tory, and leading Republicans have pri- vately admitted that they can see no other outcome with the labor and the negro vote against them, as it is ex- pected to be if Secretary Taft is nomi- nated. The present House has 223 Republicans, 167 Democrats and one vacancy. A change of 30 districts from the Repub- lican to the Democratic column will give the Democrats a bare majority. Most of these districts the Democrats expect to win from the Middle West. Ohio, with its Foraker-Taft factional fight, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mich- igan and Missouri, with large negro and labor vote, are expected to furnish the chief additions to the Democratic ranks. Congressman Lloyd of Missouri, the Democratic congressional chairman, will have his main headquarters in Chicago, but has begun active work now from an office in Washington. Ohio a Battleground. In Ohio the Democrats forsee the greatest gains and the anti-Taft Repub- licans agree with them. One of the antl- Taft managers declared this week that eight or ten districts now Republican in Ohio were certain to become Demo- cratic in November. Factional fights too bitter to be patched up are the cause, he said. They all center around Taft and Foraker. As reason for his belief he pointed to the election returns of two years ago. At that time Gen. Keifer from the Seventh District, one of the strong- est Republican districts, won by 2600 votes, and the opposition was spfit, 1500 votes being cast for the Socialist and Prohibition candidates. Mr. Brannon of the Tenth District, it is reported, will not fun for re-election, because he expecta the Democrats to carry the district. Mr. Brannon’s plu- rality was 3298. Mr. Mouser of the Thirteenth District has ‘formerly announced that he will not be a candidate for the Republican BLUEBIRD NEST ON HAT SPOILS FINE.

Sensation in Church When the Bird Hovered About Woman’s Head.

There was an old man with a _ beard, Who said, ‘‘It is just as I feared; Four lerks and a wren, Three owvls 3nd a hen Have all built their saete in my beard.’”’ —Tonsario - Ornithological Sonnet. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SWINFIELD, N. J., April 13.—This ve- racious tale, which would have interest- ed .Audobon greatly, describes another nesting. Mrs. Simon Harrison, pretty and demure, entered the Methodist church Sunday, wearing a brand-new and very becom- ing hat which she bought in New York. Over the mass of flowers, feathers, lace and jigamarees that adorned the hat a bluebird circled, and at once en- gaged the atten- tion of the 200 tru- ly good persons in the church.

Instead of listen- ing to the Rev. Abner H. Strong’s eloquent sermon on the everlasting fact that pride leadeth to a fall, everybody kept staring at Mrs. Har- rison. At first she was pleased, but when the women began to giggle and the men to whisper to each other and grin, Mrs. Harrison, indignant, left the pew. As she walked down the aisle the blue- bird, emitting distressed little cries, arose from her hat and flew around her, almost brushing her fair face with its wings. A suspicion of the _ truth through Mrs.. Harrison’s mind. Quickly she drew out her hatpins, took off her hat and thrust her hand into its mass of decorations. There was hidden a dainty little nest with four eggs in it. Mrs. Harrison, carefully placed the hat on a pew seat and then carefully fainted.

Mr. Howland of the Twentieth, which is one of the Cleveland Districts, won two years ago by 2400 votes. With idle workingmen and labor questions fore- most in the city, his re-election is con- sidered doubtful. ‘ Michigan is the scene of a hot fight between the Taft forces on the one hand and the Cannon and Knox men on the other. The result is expected to be additions to the Democratic ranks. In Indiana the Republicans admit that the Democrats have named an excep- tionally strong ticket, which will make the race very close unless Mr. Fair- banks should be nominated for the presidency, which is not likely. With- vut him leading there will be, they say, no one to really stir up the Republi- cans. In Missouri the Democratic campaign managers count on regaining the Elev- enth and Twelfth districts in St. Louis, which went Republican two years ago by less than 1000 votes each. St. Louis Outlook. The only complication they foresee is in the Eleventh District, where it is said George Neville, who was defeated by Mr. Caulfield two years ago, Patrick Cili and former Congressman Hunt are all out for the nomination, with much bitterness, particularly between Neville and Gill, because of Neville’s charges that Gill traded him out of the election two years ago. The leaders favor Mr. Hunt, in the belief that he can carry the labor vote. «The negro vote in the Fifth District, which is the Kansas City District, is expected to return that to the Demo- cratic column and defeat the present representative, E. C. Ellis.

She said she bought the hat three weeks ago and had kept it on a bureau in her spare room, which she keeps aired by always leaving a window in it partly open. Audubon would have been glad to hear, too, that Mrs. Harrison will let the mother bluebird hatch the young on her hat. “That she built her nest there proves how natural these flowers are,’’ said Mrs. Harrison with a certain gratifica- tion. “T fear you did not hear my sermon,”’ said Preacher Strong, sighing.

Butcher Is Enriched by Oil. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., April Ferguson, who has been known as “King of hard-luck operators’ in the West Virginia o:] field, has struck it rich. The Standard Oil Co. has offered him $1,500,000 for ints holdings, but he holds out for double that amount. Ferguson is a butcher and all his life he has been trying to find oil. Every cent he made in his meat market at McDonald, Pa., he would sink in “dry holes.” Six months ago he ventured over into the Follansbes field. Bert Lee, a bank clerk, loaned him $262. Two weeks ago Ferguson bought out Lee’s share:for $60,000. Ferguson is estimated to be worth several millions of dollars. OLD PEOPLE OF ST. LOUIS, MO., NEED VINOL | It Strengthens and Vitalizes.

' “It is to be a great work. Aristocracy, the great crime, is as rank among the poor as among the rich.

Charity as a Fad. ‘But the most inconsistent of all is the society woman who takes up charity as a fad. She will leave her one general servant at home to mind the children, do the washing, answer the door bell, cook the dinner and a list of tasks al- most too long for her to remember, to be done while she is out for an after- noon at the Neighborhood House, the aid society, or working for the Charity Carnival. She will go to the Ethical So- clety on Sunday, leaving the woman in the kitchen, who really needs ethical culture, and she will say that her kind heart yearns to help someone if she only knew how.” ‘And you think you can systematize bousework so that you can get things on a busines basis?” “We don't want a_i business basis.

Two women and a man lost their lives, and fifty or more persons were seriously injured in the fire, which started from a bonfire built by rag- pickers at a city dump to dry wet rags. Blackened and mark the sites of public buildings, his- toric churches, factories and business structures, and thousands of homes. Liquor licenses have been canceled in East Boston and Charlestown, which ad- join Chelsea. Governor Acts Proniptly. Acting Gov. Draper will at once ask the Legislature for an appropriation. He notified: Mayor Beck of Chelsea to draw upon the State Treasury for any amount up to $10,000. He also called a meeting of Boston business men at the State House. More than fifty unidentified babies, picked up by policemen, firemen and citizens, were taken to the police sta- tions. They ranged in age from 2 months to 5 years. smoking ruins now A boy brought in a baby less than 6 months old that he had picked up in the gutter. A woman brought a pair of boy twins, not more than a year old. She said a frantic mother had thrust the babies into her arms as 8:2 stood on the street, say- ing: ‘“‘Here, hold these. others.”’ As the dawn broke, parents roamed the streets searching for their chil- dren. The schoolhouses and those of neighboring cities and towns were filled with lost children, and svores of par- ents went from one to another grow- ing more alarmed as each was visited with no tidings of missing children. More Bodies Are Sought. It is feared that today’s search of the ruins will disclose more victims. The bodies of the three dead are at the Morgue, and are burned beyond rec- ognition. All met death apparently while fleeing from thé flames, and the bodies were found in the streets, where they had fallen. ‘ Sparks blown across the creek set fire to several houses and to the plant of the Standard Oli Co. The oil plant was practically destroyed. Nine buildings were burned, including the pump house, store house, copper shop, office and tank rooms, the latter containing about 300) barrels of oil, The loss on the Standard aa property was meneint at me i I've got to get the

It is his inten- tion, if his health will permit, to take up the fight in the Senate for the adop- tion of his railroad valuation bill now pending in the Senate Committee on In- terstate Commerce.

Women Who Think If you are a thinking woman, and you no doubt think you are, the following will make you think:

Just between you and me, is it not a significant fact that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the only medi- cine for woman’s peculiar ailments, the makers of which print a full list of its ingredients, on its bottle-wrappers? attested under oath, Does this not mean something to you if you are a sufferer? It means that you absolutely _know what you are taking when you make use of this world-famed medicine. It means that you absolutely know that you are not ki $6} 99 taking *‘booze’’ when using Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription, but a adapted to woman’s good, honest, delicate organization by .an edu- Ssquare-deal medicine cated, trained and experienced specialist in woman’s peculiar organic disorders and ailments. Are the above facts not of some importance to yout Many thousands of America’s most famous physi- clans prescribe Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preseription be- cause they know just what its composition is—which cannot be said of any other medicine advertised for the cure of woman’s special ailments. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It has done this for many hundreds of thousands. What it has done for others it will no doubt do for vou . ‘. . ° , . ee ae if you but give it a fair trial. Don’t be put off with some inferior substitute with no record of cures to recommend it.

THOUGHTFUL, INTELLIGENT WOMEN use Dr. Pierce’s Fay orite Prescription for many good rea- sons.

GOV. FOLK AT DENVER. The report that Senator Stone has declined election as one of the four Missouri delegates-at- lerge to the Denver convention on the ground that, as he is a candidate for office this year, such service would not be appropriate, will have to be. explained. ‘It is customary for political parties to send their United States senators and governors to tational conventions, and the ract that some of them may be candidates for re-election does not militate against them. Mr. Stone might reason- ably expect to go to Denver, not because he is Mr, Stone, but because he is a Democratic United States Senator. Is it possible that Mr. Stone is inclined to keep ‘Joseph W. Folk away from the Denver conven- tion, and if so, what is his object? Mr. Folk is a candidate, also, and if etiquette demands Mr. Stone’s retirement it must be equally imperative fn the case of Mr. Folk. The Governor of Missouri is entitled to the election as a delegate-at-large, and, no matter what Mr. Stone’s views may be, he should have the honor. Mr. Folk would be an object of much interest in Denver as one of the few Democrats cars who were able to carry their own states in 1904, ghd -cloger acquaintance with him by the Dem- ocrats of the country at large might lead to something. —s _™ CONFISCATING A GREAT PROPERTY. The protest against prohibition which is re- ceiving the signatures of many of the foremost _ Inhabitants of St. Louis makes a sharp distinc- i tion between the regulation of saloons and the destruction of the liquor industry. While no for- | midable prohibition movement has been inau- ' gurated as yet in this State, it is evident that ae with public opinion as it now is, a campaign ' tu that interest may be inaugurated at any time. ' Throughout the Southern half of the United _ §States;*there has been a disposition’ of late to go to extremes in dealing with the liquor ques- ticn, and Missouri is closely enough identified with this section to feel the influence percept-

at & * tbly. ms ft: Louis business and professional men who have added the weight of their names to the protest referred to properly call attention to the ecopciic side of prohibition, to the wrong in- Hlved in the practical confiscation of great = properties and to the well-known evils which _ have attended prohibitory legislation elsewhere. ' f all of these respects there is an appeal to "reason, to self interest and to fair play. - Unfortunately, emotionalism usually furnishes _ the energy which carries prohibitory movements _ to success. Nothifig but excitement working upon _ the feelings rather than the judgment of men ay would lead them to adopt.a policy so revaly- . tionaty and at the same time so futile as to ae _ the end ostensibly sought.. Only a business hav- - ng no element of good in it, dealing in an ar- _ ticle wholly unnecessary and always harmful, _ ‘would merit destruction in this fashion. _ Those who from interest or sentiment are op- _ posed to prohibition should do what they can, _ therefore, to mitigate the evils of the traffic and '* thus remove from sight and mind the things that give Offense. Every disorderly saloon and every _ drunkard makes votes for prohibition, although "= prohibition also has its lawless saloons and its _ wretched drunkards. > ft the brewing interest had as much intelli- Rg _ ence as its volunteer defenders display, it would _ not now be in such a predicament. fe MR.

Neither the Post-Dispatch nor the people of St. Louis care one straw by what name the Board of Education in its wisdom and in its pique calls the new fire escapes which it is to erect in com- phance with law on all of the public school buildings of the city. If for any reason or for no reason the gentle- men of the Board or their agents prefer to call these contrivances “enclosed stairways” let them be so designated. They are fire escapes just the same, and they meet every requirment of hu- manity as well as of law. Now that the Building Committee has acted in a matter of so much importance there will be no disposition arywhere to criticise the Board for past errors of judgment or neglect of duty, but its members and the public generally should be warned against the line of reasoning which let gentlemen of good character and approved ability to assume so strange an attitude on the subject of fire escapes. The Post-Dispatch performed a painful but what seemed to it to be an imperative duty in characterizing these mistakes with some se- verity. “It had plainly written law on its side. It had the experience and the judgment of the civilized world on its side. The theory, the whim, the caprice or whatever it was that had so Iong persuaded the Board to oppose fire escapes had nothing behind it but ignorance and bump- ticusness. It is to be regretted that in providing necessary protection for the lives of our school children anyone having authority to speak for the Board should so far forget himself as to boast that nobody outside of that organization can claim credit for what has been and is to be done, That is a manifestation of self-sufficiency which can well be dismissed with pity if not with contempt. The truth is, of course, that the members of the Board of Education or their agents first refused to do their duty in this matter and then acted grudgingly and stickled at the mere names of things. ae The Board and its agents are welcome to all the comfort that they can derive from these ‘‘cnclosed stairways.’’ Enclosed §stair- ways will be known in this town for many a year, nevertheless, as ‘‘Post-Dispatch fire escapes.”’ sa wr GOV. JOHNSON’S SHILOH SPEECH. Gov. Johnson’s Shiloh speech was not an ar- gument against national control of interstate com- merce, which is plainly provided for in the Con- stitution. It was a complaint that inferior Fed- eral courts interfere with states which attempt te control interstate commerce. ~ The only difficulty presented by this question lies in the standpoint from which one starts to examine into it. If it be conceded that most of our railroad business is interstate in character it will appear clearly enough that a good deal of the State legislation on the subject has been tco far-reaching. When states invade the do- main of national authority they are certain to be rebuffed. A state which undertook to legislate on the subject of the postal service, the national banks, the army, the navy or foreign consuls would not be surprised at interference by inferior Federal judges. The Supreme Court intimated plainly in the Minnesota decision that the entire railroad business of the country was interstate in charac- ter and that it would sustain national laws so declaring’ it. With that fact established there would be no confusion and no occasion for complaint about Federal interference.

LET US HAVE A GREAT ORCHESTRA. Undoubtedly the musical proclivities of St. Louis warrant a permanent orchestra such as is proposed by the league of organizations. St. Louis can support it, and beyond its appeal to the tastes and desires of music patrons and the recognized music audience the proposition to es- tablish it is addressed broadly to public pride. St. Louis has the well-defined aspiration and it has every encouragement to become a recog- nized forum and center of music, of which a grand orchestra is the highest developed form cf expression. Nothing tempers the renown of a metropolis with a finer quality of attraction than the distinctive possession of such an institution es the Boston Symphony or the Thomas Or- chestra. Orchestral perfection is of gradual development through a process of selection, substitution and drill, but St: Louis may confidently hope to rival those organizations if it will proceed to th: task with intelligence and genuine purpose. Th» nu- cleus and elements of orchestral greatness are resent and available to St. Louis. a». A

MR. HADLEY’S ADVISER. Mrs. Hadley is said to oppose any plan to keep her husband in the campaign, and one determined lady is more than a match for the combined Re- publican bosses of Missouri. Moreover, Mr. Hadley himself may have been wholly persuaded to trust the intuitions of his estimable lady. Statesmen’s wives sometimes have a keen prehension, amounting almost to clairvoyancy, of how things are going to happen. For that matter, it does not require any par- ticular clairvoyancy, in view of recent Missouri election returns, to see that the Democrats are a force to be reckoned with this year. Whether Mrs. Hadley’s political instinct goes further and foresecs overwhelming Democratic victory all along the line is impossible to say. However we trust that her advice is sound, and that in any event Mr. Hadley will wholly recover his health, which is the main thing, after all. The transparency of the “inclosed stairways” something very sraiitying to the peamle

as & > oro LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Lives to Eat. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have a wife and three smal! children. I make from $80 to $90 per month and my eating expenses are from $35 to $40 per month. It is an old saying, hcwever, that some people eat to live, but we belong to the ones that live to eat, G. J.

Five Live on $30. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There is something wrong with the management of a household where it takes $42.60 for the table for two people. Half that amount would be plenty. There is no use of one being a hog just because he has the price. I'll wager there is more real happi- ness in the home of E. W. than there is in the home of YY-4-Me. I’ve kept house for 15 years and I find with the present high prices $30 per month is plenty for our family of five. And we do not starve our- selves, as our grocery list will show. My husband leaves the management to me and is satisfied. SO AM I, _—_———_— See Owners and Board of Health. To the Zditor of the Post-Dispatch. Is it permissible to dump tin cans and rubbish of all kinds on vacant lots in the residence part of the city? For instance, in the vicinity of King’s high- way, Chouteau avenue and one or two other streets in that locality, several vacant lots seem to be the dumping ground for tin cans of every description and other rubbish, and persons coming to that neigh- borhood from different parts of the city are often surprised to see some of the lots in that locality cov- ered with all kinds of rubbish, and wonder if this is a part of the “New St. Louis’’ recently so much talked about. OBSERVER.

Ashes in Mullanphy Street. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “Equal rights to all, special privileges to none.” How many municipalities practice that beautiful mot- to? Surely this “burg’’ don’t. For example, if sonte small property owner told his tenants to dump all their ashes in the gutter in front of their house, what would happen? They would dump one pan, and some brave officer would dump them in Jalil. There's a corporation, owned by a councilman, that has at all times as high as fifty loads of ashes on Mullanphy street. This pile takes up one-third of the street in width and one-half block in length. Does any brave officer arrest the councilman? Don't make me laugh, my lips are chapped. WALTER A. CLIFFORD, 2011 North Fourteenth street.

Intemperance in Language. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The “St. Louis Democratic Club’ has declared in a long string of resolutions war to the hilt against the dry campaign in Missouri, calling it ‘a wide- spread barbaric, fanatical movement of so-called re- formers, Pharisees and Philistines, a menace to capl- tal, labor and industrial, commercial and financial in- stitutions,’’ etc. This is rather a grave charge to bring against a movement that is backed up by a large majority of the good people of the State of Mis- souri. I would suggest to the president of this club that he is doing the liquor cause an irreparable in- jury by such violent outbursts as this. There are large numbers of Democrats in this State that are striving to hold down this temperance crusade to a local option movement, and if the St. Louis Demo- cratic Club does not want to join in with this con- servative element, then let them get ready for the deluge. For so sure as fate, if the question of State- wide prohibition is submitted to the people of this State it will carry all before it. DEMOCRAT.

Children and Dogs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I agree with ‘‘The Young Man.” I think it is a shame for a woman to make a dog or anything else take the place of a child in the home. If they don't want the care and trouble of a child, why not take what they spend so foolishly and place it at the dis- posal of some good, respectable couple to take a child and rear. Just a short time ago I read of a woman in Chicago who has a doll for which she gives re- ceptions and teas and sends to Paris for its costumes. How much better it would be if she would take some homeless, motherless child and do those things for it instead of a doll. I only wish I had that amount to take me through life. I would go to some good in- stitution and get a child, maybe two, and give them a mother’s love and care and try and fit them for a good life. As I am only a poor workingman’s wife, it is impossible for me to take one now, but just as soon as we get our home and get it paid for I fully intend to take a little child and raise it to the best of my ability. CHILDLESS.

The Trimming of Trees. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch No doubt the people of this city are aware of the fact that we have at the City Hall what is known as a City Forester. Will someone please explain to me this man’s duty. As far as I can see he only is- sues permits to anyone who wants them. A few weeks ago a man came around apd presented me with a card with his name, stating that he was a gardener, and that be was operating in the neighbor- hood, and of course wanted to trim the trees. Well, judging from his card, I took him for a gardener, and told him that he might. He produced an applli- cation for a permit, which I promptly signed au- thorizing him to get a permit and trim the tr¢ He got the permit and he certainly trimmed the He had one trimmed when I arrived and stopped him. The next day I went to the City Forester and asked him if this man was a gardener and he said he did not know, that it was not his business and that he only issued permits, and that it is up to the owners to find out if he was a gardener or not. This is where the wrong is, Trimming trees is an art’‘and should be kept out of the reach of impostors. One having a few nice trebs about 40 years old

NE must amuse one’s self, and leap year dances and dinners offer an 0) agreeable variety from the usualroutine. Such entertainments, perhaps, may afford a woman the opportunity to encourage a timid suitor; yet it must not be forgotten that such opportunity must be delicately used, since it is the unwritten law that no girl ata leap year party shall show marked attention to the man for whom she cares most, and he to whom she is de- voted is expected to regard her civilities as discouraging rather than other- wise. It is bad form to follow her inclination in the bestowal of her favor, just as at a dinner of the usual sort, no man must be seated at table next to his wife. Indeed, so far does custom carry this idea that it is taken for granted that the man to whom a leap year proposal is made will decline it in order to carry out the jest. He must do so with great show of surprise and distress, protest- ing that he never expected anything of the kind, and, following the feminine tra- dition, declaring his esteem and undying friendship: for his suitor, must promise to be a brother to her. It would be egregious vanity for a man to assume that such an offer could or would be made in sober earnest. Nor would he, even though he believed in the sincerity of the offer, at all value the compliment paid him. Many sins may be forgiven to a woman, provided she is pretty and attractive, but not that of asking a man to marry her. As the traditional old woman said: ‘‘Menfolks are contrairy creeters,”’ and there is sound wisdom and understanding of the heart of man in Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s couplet: “The fruit that will fall without shaking Indeed is too mellow for me!”’ —Chicago Tribune.

NOT IN THE SCHOOL HISTORIES.

S a young man Alexander the Great escaped death in a curious manner. As great banquet was being held at Pelle, the capital of Macedonia, at which were present the future conqueror of the world, and his father, Philip. During the feast one of the guests proposed a toast and prayer offensive to Alexander, who hurled a goblet at him. King Philip, angry at the outrage, started up, drew his sword, and rushed furiously upon his son, but he had drunk so deeply that before he reached him he fell prostrate among the terrified merry- makers. Not a whit perturbed at this extraordinary escape from death, Alexander re- marked: ‘‘Here is a man preparing to cross from Europe to Asia, who yet cannot step surely from one couch to another.” Boar, and there took place an incident which entirely changed England's his- tory: As twilight was falling in October, 1848, a very tired post-boy, mounted on a sweating horse, pulled up outside the old fnn. The lad knew nothing of the im- portance of the letters which lay in his post bag. His orders were to convey them to a point on the Great North road, where he would be met by other messengers. While he slept Cromwell's men took the bag and found in it a letter from King Charles I. to the Scottish generals, arranging for a rescue, an immediate advance on London, and the arrest and execution of Cromwell and his friends. The ee evening Cromwell had the fatal letter, and determined on Charles’ death.

Five games and those of spring variety, are all too few to give a correct line on a team’s ability. But it furnishes the premises for some conclu- sions that cannot be avoided. The general deduction from = an analysis of the Browns’ 3-to-2 victory in the St. Louis ante-season series is that the clan of McAleer is vastly improved ever that of last season. This, taken in conjunction with the fact that no other club in the league seems to have strengthened in anything like the same proportion, and the prevailing opinion that Detroit overplayed itself sadly last year, justifies a belief some of last year’s first-division bunch will have to get out of the road of the Browns or be tun over.

On the bases, aside ‘“frem the sleepy-headed work of Heff- man and Howell in getting caught nap- ping, they were daring and fast.

~-— BROWNS, SPRING VICTORS, DEPART ---—- McAleer’s Team Defeats Cardinals by Taking the Three Last Games.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. Experience won the spring series for the Browns. Because McAleer’s husky team was not timid before big crowds and played a desperate game while the Cardinals showeed a slight tendency of fright, the Browns were able to come from behind and win three straight, thus capturing the city championship by three games to two. Sunday’s battle ended it all. when the American Leaguers won most decidedly by a a 6+ to-0 count. It was the’grandest series of games ever played in St. Louis. The enthusi- asm was keener than ever. The biggest ent. In the five games, something like 95,000 fans were present and the Sunday crowd for the final gare eclipsed all records for the city if not for the en- tire country, when close = 30,000 persons were present. It was a great victory for the Browns, because they came to the front after losing the first two and then scraped out the next three. But although beaten, the good fans of St. Louls were con- vinced that the Cardinals are a much improved team and will make a fight in the National League. They are sure that the Browns are 50 per cent strong- er and today are declaring that Mc- Aleer has a grand chance for the Amer- ican League flag. Luck Switched to Browns. At the start, luck was with the Car- dinals, but after the first two games it switched and favored the American League team. Because of the wet weather only five games were permitted while the plan was for seven. The Browns were able to handle the five games in a period of nine days by using but two pitchers, the only two who were fit for championship baseball. The Cardinals had enough twirlers ready to have played every day, and for that reason might have beaten the veterans had the sekies gone the full seven games But it is all over now and we must hail the Browns and the champions. They deserve every bit of the credit given them, for they played every point th the finish in every game. Charley Jones, Jimmy Williams, Hobe Ferris, Danny Hoffman and Rube Waddell seem to have supplied St. Louis with the kind of playing that it has so long needed to win a championship.

Browns’ Eccentric Mistakes Departing Time of McAleer’s Tribe.

Rube Waddell missed the train this morning that carried the Browns off for Cleveland. The big southpaw had been told the train left at 8:30 a. m. and at 8:15 he walked leisurely into the station decked out in new clothes only to find that the train had depart- ed. Then to make matters worse, Owner Hedges told him to go on the 9 o'clock train this evening. The train leaves at 8 o’clock and now Hedges has a squad of detectives hunting the city over for the Rube to inform him of the proper leaving hour. If he can not be reached some time during the day he will again miss the train and will then be unable to get to Cleve- land for the opening game tomorrow afternoon. Manager McAleer was anxious to have the big twirler thére too, for al- though he expects to pitch Barney Pelty in the game, he fears Barney will not be ready and in that case he was counting on Waddell. Owner Hedges will go over to Cleve- land himself for the we sapien 3 game and will leave on the 8 o’clock train. This will reach Cleveland shortly aft- er noun, too Jate for the morning baseball parade but in plenty of time for the game WHITE SOX AX FALLS TODAY CHICAGO, April 13.—The White Sox regulars reached Chicago from Fort Wayne at an early hour this morning and were ordered to report at the South Side grounds this forenoon for the first of two polishing-off sessions planned to give them before the opening of the championship season tomorrow.

P the Vor der Ahe benefit. days -the tidy stockingful of $5000. The central figure in the incident is M. Stanley Robison, president of the Cardinals, and the affair dates back to the purchase of the St. Louis National League franchise and assets by the Cleveland magnate. At that time, as part of the assets of the club, Mr. Rob- ison acquired notes given by Von Der Ahe to Mr. Edward C. Becker, the value of which today, with interest, is over $21,000. This was the most im- portant item in the petition for bank- ruptcy filed recently by Chris, and will be an utter loss to the Cardinal owners. Yet, in the face of all this, Mr. Rob- ison, with no flourish of trumpets or seeking after publicity, quietly came to the front with half of the gate of the Thursday spring game, to help put the one-time magnate of Grand avenue on his way to a comfortable living. Twenty-three’ thousand dollars. is something of a donation in these hard- boiled times and M. Stanley deserves the rbended knee and the doffed top-piece.

Most persons would have found the possibilities of English entirely inadequate for the situ- ation. First Baseman Jones of the Browns got up this morhing and thought over the initial-sack problem. He pulled out his scorebook, studied it carefully and then quietly went to his trunk and be- gan to pack it.

HUGHES PLANS BETTING RAID Governor to Take Action Against Ring at Aqueduct Opening Wednesday.

NEW YORK, April 13.—Gov. Hughes, according to information received from Albany, is preparing for a coup at the opening of the racing season in this State, which takes place at Aqueduct on Wednesday. Angered at the refusal of the Legislature to kill racetrack gam- bling, the Governor is reported to be bent on repressive measures of the sternest kind. This would involve as a last resort, it is pointed out, the calling out of the militia, a step which Gov. Folk of Mis- sourl threatened to take to stop betling at the racetracks in that State. Gov. Hughes is said to contcnd that the Percy-Gray law is openly violated on the racetracks by the manner in which the bookmakers register the bets, and that by og rig | strict and abso- lute compliance with the law, gambling at the tracks can be and shall be ended by the authorities over whom the chief executive holds the power of command, ANSON AGAIN PLAYS BASEBALL “Cap” Dons Catcher’s Mit for Two Innings in a Chicago Game. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, April 13—Capt. Adrian Constantine Anson broke into the base- ball game Sunday after an absence of ll years, catching the last inning of the game between his colts and Rogers Park team. “Cap."”" made a hit the only time he was up and had two put-outs.

11 16,000 persons, at 40 cents, $6400; Sun- day, April 12, 26,000 persons, at 4#c, $10,- 400. Total attendance, 85,000; receipts, $34,000. That’s as much as some teams pay in annual salaries—and all in four days. Ban Johnson should turn his eyes to St. Louls and begin to till a so fruitful baseball soil with a pennant spade. Ban is supposed to have an energizing influ- ence on flelds to which he turns atten- tion, and surely St. Louls is worthy of his $15,000 brain. The spring series could not have been surpassed by a world’s championship in attendance, because of the limitations of the local parks. As it was, the largest crowd, that of yester- day at League Park, probably exceeded that of the best previous attendance rec- ord—namely that at the world’s cham- Pionship contest played at the Polo grounds Oct. 10, 195. The figures on this occasion reached 4,902. According to an unofficial report, there were over 26,000 fans at Sunday’s game here. Pres- ident Hedges stated that the attendance was about 3000 greater than on the previous Sunday, when it was esti- mated than 235,..v saw the game.

MODERATION — URGED

Women, According to Belle- ville Clergyman, Should Castigate Judiciously.

The Rev. J. Y. Reid of the First Methodist Church at Belleville told his congregation Sunday night that there are times ' when women ought to beat their husbands. “I have known of instances,” he said, “where women have been tied to brutal husbands, and where a stout club in the hands of the wife would have been a means of grace. A little of the club now and then would be a good thing, but I would not advise its habitual use.”’ Dr. Reid’s “sermon to wives” is one of a series in which he wil discuss the blessings and burdens of matrimony. He believes that the benefits derived from married life far outweigh the cares which accompany it. Any Soft of Wife Desirable. “Any sort of a wife is better than no wife and celibacy is a great evil,’’ he said. ‘“‘The Scripture says that ‘who so findeth a wife findeth a gocd thing,’ and that is Hterally true. “A woman has a great responsibility in selecting a husband. If she is disap- pointed she should not talk about it, but should bury her sorrow. ‘“‘Matrimony is all right, but it some- times jumps the track at‘a curve and the husband and wife mustd both be good engineers. ‘“Every wife makes her husband bet- ter or worse and without mutual affec- tion marriage is an empty husk and a hollow mockery. ‘‘Don’t ‘Go to Mother’s’ Too Often.” “Wives, don’t be silly. After you have been married_10. years don’t act like the ceremony had been performed only an hour ago. But a little silliness now and then is a good thing, a much better thing than the suppression of all nat- ural show of affectidOn. “Don’t get the habit of ‘going. to mother’s’ too often. I have here a let- ter from a man who writes that in\the first year he was married his wife went to visit her mother 365 days. He worried along on cold dinners till he couldn't stand it any more and then he got to going to a saloon to’ get a warm lunch and his wife left him. She went to mother’s and he went to the dogs.’’ JOHNSON MEN SMILE AT CHARGE FROM BRYAN BUREAU Governor’s. Friends Point to His Two Great Victories in Minnesota. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, April 13.—An attack on Gov. Johnson emanating from the Bry- an Bureau in Washington, characteriz- ing the Minnesota Governor as ‘‘a nice but negative man,’’ has provoked only good-natured smiles at the Johnson headquarters. The charge that he can- not carry his own State as presidential nominee, is answered by the claim that he can carry. Minnesota by 100,000 and that North Dakota will give him its electoral votes. They point to his .rec- ord. In 1904, when President Roosevelt was on the crest of “high popularity, Gov. Johnson turned a 57,000 normal Repub- lican plurality into an 8000 Democratic victory. Thén followed two years of such successful administration of the office of Governor that Johnson, re- nominated in 1906, carried the State by a plurality of nearly 73,000, and this in the face of the fact that the metropoll- tan press of Minnesota, being Repub- lican, with two exceptions, opposed him as fiercely and bitterly as was possible in view of his splendid administration of his office and his evident popularity. _Gov. Johnson's speech at the Chicago Press Club luncheon tomorrow will be semi-political, and he will take the opportunity to thank the newspaper men of the country for their kindness to him. He was editor of the St. Peter Herald for many years and will give his views on the conduct of newspapers and tell anecdotes of his experiences as printer and editor. BUSINESS NOTICKE.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASnINGTON, April 13.—Miss Cor- rey Scheffer, the young Dutch violinist, who appeared for the second time in a year before the President ~aturday night in a recital, gave the old patriotic songs of Holland. At Mr. Roosevelt's request, Miss Scheffer, with great difficulty, ob- tained the music of war songs of the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. She appeared in a native peasant costume, which greatly pleased Mr. Roosevelt. “The President," said Miss Scheffer, “seems to be very fond of the Dutch songs of his ancestors, and quite famil- lar with them, too. When I was at the White House he; surprised me by recit: ing an old Dutch song himself. He also quoted the motto of the Dutch House of Orange, ‘Oranje Boven.’"’ Boven means above all.
