SHARED IN PLOT ‘Judge Muench Instructs Jury in Trial of Second Ward Delegate. NOVEL PLEA OFFERED . Demurrer on Ground Bribery Was Induced by the State Is Overruled. ACCUSED MAKES DENIAL Sager Announces He Has No Rebuttal Testimony; Re- cess Is Taken. Judge Muench completed his instruc- tions to the jury which is trying Dele- gate’ Frederick W. Priesmeyer for brib- ery in the Ascher garage case at 2 p. m. Tuesday, and arguments were beguf. In his instructions, Judge Muench said that all persons were equally gullty of a crime committed jointly, and that if the defendant was showrt to have taken any part in bribery, he was as guilty as any other person implicated in it. After explaining the necessity under the city ordinances for an ordinance au- thorizing Henry Ascher’s garage, Judge Muench said that if the jury found that money had actually been paid to one or both of the accused persons as a result of a corrupt agreement, the defendant should be sentenced to not more than seven or less than two years in the Penitentiary. Source Not Material. ~ ‘It is not material, Judge Muench said, whence this money came. This point of the ruling bore on the conten- tion of Priesmeyer’s lawyers that he Renee innocent because the crime had induced by, the State. tirne and manner of causing the Chaar om ‘by ‘the Building Commis-]} sioner of Ascher for. failure to have the ordinance passed is immaterial to t case, Judge Muench said. the jury finds that any witness (this was understood tc refer to Ascher) had aided the defendant in bribery, the jury might regard him as an accomplice; and the testimony of an accomplice should be accepted with caution. House Wants Priesmeyer. The case probably will’go to the jury in time to allow Priesmeyer to attend the meeting of the House of Delegates and vote against a contemplated motion for the expulsion of Delegate Warner, jointly indicted with Priesmeyer, and now under sentence to two years in the . Penitentiary. 7 An interested spectator at the trial was Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton otf ldttle Rock, Ark., noted boodle prose- “cutor, who is here to study the methods of prosecution in St. Louis. He came to sf. Louis for this purpose and sat with Mr. Sager. A line of defense not opened in for- mer trials of the boodle cases was test- ed Tuesday by Priesmeyer'’s lawyers, without @uccess. They offered a de- murrer {6 the State’s evidence on the ground that the offense was induced by the State. This was based on the fact that the boodle trap was laid under directions from Mayor Wells and Mr. Sager, and that ‘the $500 tienry Ascher is alleged to have paid Priesmeyer was lied by Mayor Wells. udge Muench overruled the motion. and the defense began its testimony. A large part of this was offered by character witnesses, who were un- shaken in their testimony on cross-ex- ‘gmination by Mr. Sager. They said Priesmeyer’s reputation was excellent ¢ prior to the bribery charge. . a ; Pa ae rs Ree AR _ , Clerk Leonard a Wituess. The witnesses were C. C. Clark, a feed and grain merchant; M. D. Blaney, su- perintendent of a planing mill; August F. Kiausing, president of the Lowell Bank: William Spellman, a groecr; De Witt Steigers, president of a hide and tallow company; George W. Strodtman, a real estate dealer; Louls H. Waltke, president of a coal company; Dr. Wal- ter C. Lewis, a North St. Louis physi- clan; Charles F. Bergesch, an under- taker, and W. E. Bryan, a brewery employe. Clerk of the House Leonard denied that he saw Assistant Clerk Naughton in conversation with Priesmeyer. He was not asked whether Priesmeyer spuke to him (Leonard), and Mr. Sager did not cross-examine him. The only witness introduced by the prosecution Tuesday was Thomas H. Lovelace, secretary of the Jefferson Club, who was a reporter for an after- noon newspaper when the alleged brib- took place. He told of seeing War- talking to Ascher in the corridor of the House and later of hearing Presi- meyer ask Clerk Leonard a question. the stand Lovelace was not asked question was.

Brennan Expected to Succeed Convicted Delegate as Head | of Body. Delegate Ferd Warner of the First Ward, convicted of bribery a week ago, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tues- day that he does not want to serve on any committee in the coming session of the House. During the last session he served as chairman of the Public Im- provements Committee, which held up many street bills. Members of the conbine say that the place will not again be offered to him and that he probably will be succeeded by W. J. (Boots) Brennan of the Six- teenth Ward. The committees will be named os Speaker Conran at Tuesday night's meeting, following a caucus of the com- bine to be held at 7 p. ™. Delegate Davis will introduce a mo- tion to oust Warner from his seat and Delegate Fay will move that Warner be suspended. A motion to oust would re- quire a two-thirds vote, while a motion to suspend could be carried by a majori- ty vote. Two reasons for delay in settling on the committee chairmanships are said to be the unwillingness of the majorit? to act until the Priesmeyer trial is over and their anxiety to win over one or more of the minerity members to the ranks of the combine, whicl> now has only 15 members, a bare working majori- ty. “YOU MAY BUTT OUT. ” SAYS TRACY TO ‘“‘SLANGY” WITNESS Police Judge Lapses Into Argot When Annoyed by Language of the Street.

Attorney-General Hadley says Cooper act contemplates a perma- nent commission to regulate pub- lic utilities rates, Civic League lighting commit- tee reports that Unton Company's charges to the city are unreason- ably high. St. Louts Hardware Mfg. Co. adds its testimony of exorbitant charges by Union Company to the evidence already published. Getting in on the ground floor rates of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. is costing the St. Louis Hardware Manufacturing Co. of 1519 North Ejight- eenth street from 100 to 125 per cent more than it previously paid for electricity. The company moved last August from 1514 O’Fallon street to its new home, and at that. time was induced by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. to cancel a cofitract_calling for service at 5 cents a horsepower hour and sign up a new contract at 10, 8 and 6 - “cents a kilowatt hour. The new rates were called the “ground floor schedule’ by the Union. Electric Light and Power Co.'s solicitors. The company’s June and July bills had been $13.28 each for electricity, and the Au- gust bill, under the ground-floor rates, was $28.39, while the September bill was $32.60. To save itself from the exorbitant rates of the new contract, the hardware company signed up a contract with the Laclede Power company shortly before it sold out to the Union Electric Light and Power Co., and a comparison of the rates under the two contracts shows one of the principal reasons why the Union Electric wanted to get the La- clede Power Co. out of the way as a competitor. In on the Ground Floor. “I notified the Union Electric Light and Power Co. last summer that I wanted my meter moved to my new factory,’’ said F. Henry Koch, presi- dent of the St. Louis Hardware Man- ufacturing Co., to a Post-Dispatch re- porter. e “A solicitor came to see me He looked at my contract, which called for service at 5 cents a horsepower-hour. He began talking about kilowatts and other things that I didn’t understand, and told me that he would have my old contract canceled and let me in on the new ground-floor contract. He said it would be a much better contract for me. “Like everybody else, I wanted to get in on a good thing, and signed up the new contract. My bills fer power had been running from $12 to $21 a month under the old contract, when I was doing more than twice ‘as much business as I am now. . “IT signed the new contract and the first bill rendered August 20, 1907, was for $28.39 for 388.kilowatt hours. My June and July bills for 441 horse-power hours under the old contract were $13.23 each. My bills kept on increasing so rapidly that I was forced to seek relief through a contract with the Laclede Power Co. I got a contract with this company at 10 cents a ‘kilowatt hour for the first 90 hours and 2 cents an hour for all in excess. of that. The Union Electric soon afterwards bought out the Laclede Power, but it is compelled to fulfill its contracts. ‘‘My March bill shows that I used 132 kilowatts under the Laclede Power con- tract at a cost of $9.36 and 136 kilowatts under the Union Electric contract at $12.24. Less Light, More Expense. “In March I used 198 kilowatts un- der the Laclede Power contract and it cost me $10.60. I used 112 kilowatts un- der the Union Electric “contract, for which I paid my minimum, $11.50. In February I used 225.3 kilowatts from the Laclede Power branch at a cost of $14.53, while 134 kilowatts under the Union Electric contract cost me $12.08 “Although my bills for electricity are from 100 to 1% per cent higher this year than they were last year, I am doing from 2 to 50 per cent less business.” [LLINOIS POWDER MILL I$ BLOWN UP; 3 MEN KILLED i:xplosion Five Miles Away Wrecks Windows and Shakes Build- ings in Marion.

TI am in the way here,’ said 9-year-old Bertha Werner to her foster mother, Mrs. Anna Trescher of 82 Ann avenue. The threat was made at the supper ta- ble after Bertha, leaving her food un- touched, had sat musing for a long time. Before daylight Bertha was dead. At midnight she awakened her foster moth- er and asked for a drink of water. She drained the glass eagerly, and Mrs. Trescher noted that the child had a fe- ver. Her condition rapidly grew worse and shegied at 4 a. m. Attempted Suicide Before. Bertha tried to kill herself last Thurs- day. It is believed that she again got hold of poison Monday night, kept it hidden in her clothing and took it just before she asked ‘for a drink. Mrs. Trescher says that she thought the sup- per-table threat was an idle one and she paid little attention to it. Last Thursday when her sister, Mamie, 14 years old, told her to come fn from the yard and dress for supper, Bertha flew into a rage and bit Mamie’s arm. When she realized what she had done she took a bottle of horse liniment from the table and drained its contents in the presence of Mamie and Mrs. Tresch- er. She had mixed the liniment with some holy water and this was thought by her relatives to indicate temporary insan- ity. Dector Found No Poison. — She was treated ,by Dr. Charles Klenk, who used a stomacn pump, and who said he covld find no traces of poison tn the liniment. Mrs. T-escher said Bertha seemed to tave recovered end.was. in gvod spirits urtil Monday. night. Four years ago Bertha fell from a fourth-story window, alighting on her head.

A committee of three members of the Board of ‘Education ts in the East for the purpose of making inquiries prepara- tory to selecting a successor to the late F. Louis Soldan, Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction. The committee consists of Frank L. Magoon, president of the Board; George kK. Lockwood and Robert Moore, ap- pointed by Mr. Magoon. They left St. Leuis Saturday and are in Washington. Before their return they probably will visit New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other educational centers. No One Eligible Here. It is reported that by the.process of elimination there is no eligible candi- date for the position among the teach- ers in St. Louis, and that, after that conclusion on the part of the board, the committee was appoitned to visit other centers and choose a superintend- ent. At a recent meeting of the Board of Education $1000 was appropriated to de- fray the expense of obtaining a head for the public school system. There had been no application for the position, which pays $7000 a year, and it was thought to be the most expedient way of filling ti to investigate the abill- ty of all the men who may be able to assume the duties. Redmond §S. Colnan, vice-president of the Board, was asked if the visit of the committee to the East in search of a superintendent meant that the Board be- lieved it. necessary to look outside of St. Louis for a man to fill the position. “There is no bar against any man in St. Louis who can fill the requirements,”’ was the reply, “but neither is there any prejudice against any man in New York or any other place who happens to be the sort we mant. Calis Position Important. “The position #0 ably filled by Mr. Soldan is one of the most important among the public positions in St. Louis. It requires a big man, not only a peda- gogue, but of the caliber that are fill- ing the best positions in the country today, whether ft be in the big unl- versities, the railroads or the trusts. “I suppose a gréat many people think ; that the salary paid to the Superintend- ent of Public Instruction is a large one. I believe that it should be larger, to get the sort of man Soldan was. We want an executive of class as well as a teacher. Soldan was such a man. He ran the Board of Education when it was necessary to keep his system up to the highest degree of efficiency. “But no strings are being pulled for any man, East or West. It is the de- sire to get the very best man procur- able for the. work—a big man. But there will be no premium on him simply because he comes from outside St. Louls, if that happens. “The report will be first turned in at the regular meeting of the board the second ' Tuesday in June."’’ RAISULI I$ STILL A BANDIT Report of His Death Definitely Branded as Premature.

Only Mature Trees Should Be Cut—Banish Razor- back Hogs. &

W. T.

Most of those at the meeting were dealers in yellow pine, a lumber which comes almost exclusively from the Southern States and is shipped all over the world by St. Louis concerns.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- ‘ Dispatch. 27.— JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April Regulation of rates charged for public utilities such as gas, electricity and tele- phones may be undertaken and contin- ued indefinitely in St. Louis by means of a permanent public service commis- sion like that in New York, according to Attorney-General Hadley. When informed by a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that the general under- standing among municipal officials was that the Coeper act did not contemplate a continuous commission of the kind New York has, Mr. Hadley said St. Louis had the choice between a tem- porary and a permanent commission. Frequent Regulation Is Remedy “Regulation of rates assessed by the users of public utilities at frequent in- tervals is the surest and simplest meth- od of correcting the abuses of which St. Louis and other large cities in Missouri are complaining,’ said Mr. Hadley. “Big corporations are necessary for big undertakings like the operation of electric and gas plants, street railways and telephone systems. The courts may punish specific cases of wrong- doing on the part of these corporations, but a satisfactory solution of the ques- tion of reasonable charges and good service can only come with persistent, scientific regulation. ‘‘The Cooper law gives St.: Louis all the’ power required to fix and demand fair rates from the several big corpora- tions which are serving the people. It is at once a subject of wonder and re- gret that the Municipal Assembly of St. Louis has not avalled itself of the au- thority conferred by the Cooper law. “Whether a permanent commission should be established in St. Louis is a matter for determination by the reople. That such a continuous body may be created under the terms of the Cooper act is beyond dispute.”’ Cooper Law Gives City Power. Mr. Hadley says the Cooper law vests in municipalities the authority to fix rates. There is no Iimitation or direc- tion as to the way in which regulation shall be accomplished. The Municipal Assembly may legislate on the subject without previous investi- gation. It may make such inquiry as a basis for ordingnces, elther. through committees of its own membership or through an independent commission. If by a commission, the Assembly has the right to name all the members, dele- gate that duty to the Mayor or share with him the appointments necessary. See Merit tm Permanént Body. If a permanent commission were created, with headquarters at the City Hall, it would become, in the belief of many, a valuable adfunct to the Muni- cipal Assembly whenever the public utilities were involved. New York's commission is a sort of clearing house for complaints of poor service, discriminations and overcharges on the part of the public service cor- porations. Any citizen may lodge information or charge of any kind against an offend. ing corporation. If he sees a grade crossing unguarded, an overcrowded street car, an eVidence of any kind of disregard or violation of his rights, he notifies the commission. It is that sort of commission that some members of the Municipal Assém-

supply electricity for street lighting at «a cents a kilowatt hour, and reduce the cost for an arc lamp to $69 a year and for an incandescent lamp to $17 a year, goes on record as opposed to 4 municipal plant. The committee is also opposed to en- couraging competition to the present lighting monopoly, but believes retief can be obtained from the present excessive rates by regulation and control of prices under authority of the enabling act passed by the last Legislature. Commission Urged. The committee recommends the ap- pointment of a public utilities commis- sion of trustworthy business and tech- nical men, clothed with power to de- termine a reasonable rate for both gas and electricity, as provided by the en- abling act. The Executive Board of the Civic League met at noon Tuesday to take final action on the report of the com- mittee, which has already been approved by a sub-committee consigting of George C. Hitchcock, Joseph L. Hornsby and Edward C. Eliot. The Lighting Committee has been at work on the problem fof more than @ year. The committee is composed of L. Van Ornum, chairman, professor civil engineering Washington Univer- sity; E. L. Adreon, vice-president of the American Brake Co., and former City Comptroller; Joseph B. Bascom, frope manufacturer; Trescott F. Chaplin, at- torney; John J. Lichter, mechanical en- gineer, and A. S. Langsdorf, professor of electrical engineering, Washington Uni- versity. Thé committee engaged Attorney Lu- ther Ely Smith to examine the public utilities act of 1907 and ‘court decisions bearing upon it. Mr. Smith's opinion, ex- pressed after an exhaustive inquiry into the legal phases of the question, is that the city cannot only determine and en- force a reasonable rate for the’ public lighting, but can compel the present companies to furnish light to the city at these rates ag long as the companies enjoy their franchise privileges. The Union Electric Light and Power Co. is furnishing electricity to the city at 4% cents a kilowatt hour. The city has several smal! municipal plants in operation in public buildings and is man- ufacturing electricity for much less than that price. The present contract for street Hghting expires August 31, 1910, and it was for the purpose of acquiring information that may afford relief .ffrom the present excessive rates that the Civic League made its investigations. The committee is of the opinion that gas should still be used for lighting the residence portion of the city and elec- tricity for the business district. Three Possible Ways. The committee points out three pos- sible ways of obtaining a reduction in the price of electricity: (1) By the con- struction of a municipal plant; (2) by en- couraging competition, and (3) by reg- ulating and controlling prices. The cOmmittee states that, under economical business management, the éity can manufacture its own electricity for 2% cents a kilowatt hour, 2 cents cheaper than it is getting it from the Union Electric Light and Power Co. But on ve Tesi of the danger of partisan politics, which tends to reduce efficiency and increase cost, it is declared not to be advisable, except as a last resort, to erect a municipal plant. “Your committee is of the opinion,” says the report, “that a resort to com- petition, while {t might assist In reduc- ing exorbitant rates, temporarily, is only a makeshift. and that permanently satisfactory results and a minimum cost for lighting cannot be secured by compe- tition. “The enabling act gives the city full power and authority to fix and deter- mine a reasonable rate both for gas and electricity, 2nd to provide and enforve fines tor the violation thereof. A public utilities commission composed of trust- worthy business and _ technical men. shoulda be p-ovided immediately by or- dinance with such powers as are pre- seribed by the enabling agt.”’ Omega Oil oo) ‘“

PAL FATALLY WOUNDED He, Too, Jumps From Bridge After Emptying Pistol and Begs for Mercy.

An unidentified highwayman, who leaped 50 feet from the East St. Louis viaduct into the swirling waters of Ca- hokia Creek during a midnight pistol battle between himself and a companion on one side and half a dozen East Side police on the other, is believed to have escaped death in the water and to have crossed to St. Louis on a ferryboat, Search is being made for him here. Joseph Hutchinson, a former Unied States cavalryman, who was shot in the groin and twice in the right leg, is near death in St. Mary’s Hospital in Bast St. Louis. He refuses to divulge the name of his companion. Three hundred feet below the viaduct the East Side police found traces Tues- day of escape from the creek up the steep bank. The nightwatchman of the Big Four roundhouse, near by, says @ man dried his clothes there at 4 a. m. and begged a “jumper.’’ Cartridges of the came caliber as the bandit’s aban- doned revolver, found on the viaduct, were found hidden on the bank.

She could walk with her left leg only by dragging it, and cried with pain in that hip and her spine*almost all the time and could not sleep. She had no feeling in the limb below the knee. Doctors treated her for trouble in her ankle. “Then I took her to Phenomena! Kraus’ specialists, and they treated her hip and spine.

Merry Widow Hat Saves Dog. A merry widow hat saved a puppy’s life near Port Jervis, N. Y., says a correspondent of the New York World. Miss Gillette of Newark. guest of friends at Sparrowbush, N. Y., a west- ern suburb, dropped the pup into the Delaware River. The current carried jt downstream to a rock, upon which tite dog crawled. Miss Gillette took her hat off, removed its trimmings, and tying a strong string to the brim, let it float down to the rock. Then she coaxed the puppy into the hat and towed it to shore. This morning she appeared on the street with the het repressed and trimmed as good as ever.

were believed to have started across the bridge. A few minutes later they received word that W. L. Kell, a medical stu- dent of Kell, Ill, crossing the bridge on his way to St. Louis, had been robbed near the east tower of Eads Bridge. Kell reported that two men took $1.50, all the money he had, and his watch. He begged them to return the watch, a gift from his mother. ‘Well, we've not forgot our mothers,’’ replied the man who had the watch, and he handed it back to the young stu- dent, with 10 cents for car fare. Met’ on “Bloody Island.” Detectives Florence and Hess of the East St. Louis force set out together .for the scene. They had first to cross the viaduct which spans the creek and railroad tracks. West of the viaduct is a stretch of level road across what is known, from its unsavory reputation, as “Bloody Island,” and after two blocks the approach to Eads Bridge begins. Near Cicardi’s saloon, at the west end of the viaduct, Hess and Flor- ence met two men. “Hold up your hands,” yelled the men, drawing their. revolvers. The detectives shouted a similar com- mand in almost the same voice, and their revolvers flashed. All four began firing. One of the first of the bullets went through Hesse’ stiff felt hat. The two men separated, Hutchinson turning back toward the bridge and St. Louis, with Florence in pursuit. The other man made a desperate dash past Hess, who emptied his revolver at him in the dim light. Patrolmen Hansen and Jones, who had heard the first’ shots, were crogs- ing the viaduct at a quickstep when they met the fugitive. They called to him to halt, and he replied with a bullet. It struck the sole of Hansen's shoe, and went through it. The fugi- tive took advantage of this to speed by the pelicemen, continuing his flight eastward. At Bay on Bridge. Near the east end of the viaduct the man met Sergt. Brennan. Apparently he aid not want to take the chance of running the third gauntlet, and he turn- ed back, hunted and desperate. Lumber, to be used in repairs, had been piled along the north side of the viaduct at that point. The man climbed upon it, swung over, and,after clinging a moment with his hands to the top rail, let go. As he did so, Brennan, leaning over the side of the viaduct, fired aga'n at him. Meanwhile, Florence had an exciting chase and battle before he captured Hutchinson. The fugitive, after sepa- rating from his companion, ran west un- der a hail of bullets, which he tried to return over his shoulder, to “Jack’’ Keefe’s saloon at the east approach of ‘the bridge. To reach this he had to coy- er the two blocks of level road across “Bloody Island,” and he emptied his re- volver as he ran, at the pursuing de- tective. In a narrow hallway leading to @ rear room of Keefe’s saloon, Hutchinson turned, at bay, reloading his revolver. Florence found shelter behind a pole, and opened fire. One of his shots went home, and the man, staggering out of the doorway, fell or jumped off the bridge approach to a pile of sawdust, sweepings from the saloon, ® feet be- low. As he fell he lost his revolver. Florence jumped over after the man, recovered himself _quickly and advanced with his weapon ready for use. The man pleaded for mercy. When Florence found that the man had no Weapon, he called an ambulance. The man said at first that he was John Ryan. He was identified by an honorable discharge slip from the army. This showed he had been @ member of Troop K, Sixth Cavalry. He said he came to St. Louls from Cairo, and that

Show Better Form Than in 1907.

The games put up last urday by the school teams in the créwded dis- tricts of the city in the Post-Dispatch Public School Baseball] League make it evident that the fight for the pennant this year is going to be an interesting one. Last year these teams, lacking good grounds, found it difficult to get inte form. But this season their games have been placed in the parks, where there is space and good fresh air. As @ result the games played by these teams have been the best so far played fn the league. There are several teams now in the River and Centra) sub-leagues that are putting up a very fine game. And the scores of the games played by these teams have been lower than those of the other sub-leagues. As a result the fight for the pennant between the win- ners of the five sub-leagues is expected to be very close for the 1908 season. The Madison school team in the River League is one of the strongest in the city. It has come out on top in the three games that it has played. The teachers and other pupils of the school are taking a great interest in the team and are urging the players to steady practice every afternoon after school hours.

PETER SCAIBANTE. PASTOR GIVES IDLE MEN 500 HALF-DAYS OF WORK IN REPAIRING HIS CHURCH The Rev. C. F. Blaisdell Recom- mends Other Ministers Fol- low His Plan. The Rev. Charles F. Blaisdell, rector of the Church of the Holy Communion, has demonsthated in the last’ three months that it is feasible for a church to give work to the unemployed. With a fund placed in his hands by his peo- ple for the purpose, he has given an ag- gregate of 600 half-days of work to men. Married men who applied to him for aid were put to work painting and var- nishing and making repairs about the church. They were paid $1 a day. for three days’ work and the rest.of the week were worked only half days, to enable them to look for work. Unmar- ried men were given work for only half of each day. Some meals were served. On the cold- est days coffee was served at 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. Six or seven men were given sleeping accommodations each night. The Rev. Mr. Blaisdell says he is well pleased with the experiment, as there Was practically no imposition. In an address at Wellfare Hall Sunday afternoon he recommended that the ministers of the city be asked to give work to the unemployed along similar lines. ——

~ MITE HOUSE IS TOO SMALL FOR ROUSEILT 20 Broken-Winged Stork Seems to Demand Addition to Building. —_— ee TAPIR IS LATEST PET Rhinoceros and White Mice Among Plagues of Presi- dent’s Callers.

By Wire from the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 28.— If broken-winged stork offered to Presi- dent Roosevelt by James Hallock of Mount Carmel cannot be headed off, it will be necessary to enlarge the White House. The stork alone would not take up much room, but the White House is so crowded with the zoological gifts of an admiring populace that the addition of even a mosquito would render it nec- essary to take out a partition at least, and maybe to build an annex. The latest arrival was the tapir, pre- sented by Ornithologist Gooch of Paw- tucket. At that time it became nec- essary to take out a sofa and pull down a part of the wall to make a place for the tapir back of the East Room. When Waddy Hickford of Peoria sent a mallard duck and a baby rhinocerps, about a month before Mr. Gooch’s gift, the quarters allotted to the pets were al- ready so crowded that the President was reluctantly forced to give away’ an an- telope that had been sent him by Jack Abernathy of Oklahoma, and a zebra sent by the Negus of Abyssinia. He would not have done so but for the strong desire of all the Roosevelt fam- ily to have a rhinoceros of their own. The President’s own quarters have been somewhat cramped by the necessi- ty of erecting just back of his bedroom a swimming pool for the sperm whale presented by Capt. Angus Cutler of New Bedford, Mass., and the shark given by Admiral Beresford of the British navy. One of the reasons given by Secretary Garfield for the infrequency of his calls at the White House is that the white mice presented by Miss Abigail Doram of Painted Post are allowed the freedom of the reception room and like to crawl up his legs. The President says he is sorry, but cannot give the mice any other quarters, as the only room avail- able for their use has been turned over to the Belgian hares sent here by Ig- natius Mix of Los Angeles. Many women visitors have left the White House abruptly without mention- ing the reason for their departure, in consequence of the latitude allowed to Miss Doram’s mice. At the White House this morning it was said there was no truth in the re- port that a man named J. Henry Pic- kle, living in Sodus, has offered the President a newly caught and only par tially tamed Welsh rabbit.

HEARS SHARP THUD, NOT DULL ONE, CALLS POLICE, FINDS ONLY A WAYFARER Jury’s Presence in Four Courts Building Makes Night Watch- man Nervous. “Captain” John Cahill, hero of many hard-fought battles during the Civil and Indian wars—he says so himself —and now night custodian of the old Four Courts Building, which spooks and hobgoblins and all that sort of thing are said to inhabit, Was aroused from a dréam of shot and shel! early Tuesday by a sound of crashing giase, followed by a sharp thud: As Cahill was accustomed to dull thuds, this was especially terrifying. There was no doubt in Cahill’s mind, as he hurried to the nearest telephone, that somebody was trying to get at the Priesmeyer jury, which was housed beneath the leaky roof of the cobwebby dormitory on the third floor. Night Chief Gillaspy, on getting Ca- hill’s message, rushed all his available men to the watchman’s assistance. “Big Ed” Fox, the terror of Market street prowlers, was the first to reach the scene. The searching party found the crouching form of a man in the little office that once was occupied by the Chief of Detectives. Fox was about to draw his revolver “Cap” Cahill had drawn his—when the crouching form straightened up. “Can’t you let a poor old fellow have a little sleep,” said the squatter, rubbing his eyes and blinking. “I ain’t hurtin’ nobody.” The man was taken to the Central District Station, where he gave his name as John E. McElfatrick, his agé as 63, and his occupation as a knight of the road. He explained that he was looking for a piace to spend the night away from the cold, and had just “stumbled” into the building. He was given a holdover cell.

GEORGIA HOPES 10 SEE RACE FOR VANDERBILT CUP Officials of Board Think It Will Not Be Run at St. Louis This Fall.

WAODED ATI, WOMAN WANTS DIVORCE NOW Plaintiff Tells Court She Be- lieves Axley Married Her for Her Money.

Mfrs. Marie Axley of 1612 Carr. street failed to fiud happiness when she mar- ried two years ago at the age of 81 and is now suing her husband, William Ax- ley, 56 years old, for a divorce. Mrs. Axley said Tuesday in Judge Bhield’s division of the Circuit Court that she had come to the conclusion that Axley married her for her money. Mrs. Axley was married Nov.’ 22, 1905, and charges that her husband left her after eight months. After they had been married three weeks, she testified, he refused to remain in the same room with her, and lived in a room. on the second floor of her house while she lived on the ground floor. This caused her great inconvenience, she said, because she was unable to leave her bed with- out ‘assistance on account of rheuma- tism. Her husban@ refused to assist her after he removed to the upper floor and she said she was obliged to attach a sinall hoisting machine to the ceiling to At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Shields inquired of Axley if he would be willing to return to Mrs. Ax- ley. He replied that he would. Mrs. Axiey, interrogated by the Judge, re- plied emphatic ally that she would not take Axiey back. ‘‘He only married me for my money,” she added.

DSH) UP BY ThE RINGLINGS Automobile in Double Somer- sault Tries to Make It a Triple.

CAUGHT JUST IN TIME

Equestrian Features of Circus Excellent and Menagerie Better Than Ever.

The chief business of a circus owner fin these days of sensation is to provide something a trifle more daring than that which jolted the jaded appetite of the seasoned circus goer’ of the year before. Contrary to the belief that the circus is a show for children it is framed distinctly for men and women who have seen all the daring and clever things that acrobats can devise and ac- eomplish. The performer with a new and skillful variation of an old feat be- comes the headliner. So it is ‘that the double-somersault au-, tomobile tops the bill of dangerous feats in the Ringling circus, playing this week at Handlan Park, Grand and Laclede avenues. The show opened Monday with the usual parade, and played to filled seats at both perform- ances despite the wintry weather. Mile. La Belle Roche, who is the pas- genger in the automobile that defies the laws of gravity, is the most imperturb- able person beneath the canvas during her turn, which ends the program. Monday night the machine rushed down the incline, turned twice in the air and wanted -to go over again. A half foot more of pitch would have sent it over with the young woman underneath it, but it was caught and held in time. This was the thrilling part of the. perform- ance and the vast audience gasped as it struck on its front wheels on the mat, and was caught. There was great joy at the circus Tuesday afternoon when 429 children of the Industrial School attended in a body, the guests of Ringling Brothers. They occupied two or three sections especially reserved for them, and a special program of fun was arranged by the clowns for their benefit. The children were taken from the home to the show grounds in five special ears by the courtesy of Capt. McCul- Jough, general manager of the United Railways. ‘They were accompanied by A. P. Rich- ‘ardson, superintendent of the school, nd Misses Zott, Weber, Leguary, y, Lachmann, Gernhart and Mrs. Miller, teachers. Notable Equestrian Acts. F As usual the Ringling horses were the feature of the ring shows, surpassing’ even the.great acrobatic turns. There are at least four equestrian turns that have never been excelled in the circus business. Daisy Hodgini and Emma Stickney were the premiers in bareback - riding. One of the new features was the head walking of the Patty brothers, and an- other the slack wire walk of Rob Dello, a young Cuban, who is uncannily at home on the wire. Forty clowns contrived to keep the audience in roars with their absurdities, some of which were more than clever. ‘The Ringling menagerie this year is one of the best that ever went on the road with a circus. It is in charge of Charles Smith, probably the youngest “boss ‘animal man’’ in the show busi- ness. Smith's success lies largely in his personal control of his beasts, and his _ deep knowledge of wild animal life. ‘The menagerie this year is attract- ing unusual attention on account not only of the number of animals it con- tains, but the excellence of their coz:- dition and their beauty. Animals Dred in Captivity. The average visitdr to the menagerie thinks that these animals were captured _ tn the wilds cf Asia or Africa. Ac- cording to Smith, they were all bred in a | Captivity, with the exception of ‘Dar- . win,” the man monkey, who was ' Bought from a gailor on a tramp steam- ’ @r arrived in New York from Madagas- far. Darwin came from the jungles of __ Africa and lives in a steam-heated house - On wheels. : Ourang-outangs rarely live ' longer than six weeks in captivity in this climate, but Darwin has stood it a month so far and eats well, and Smith believes he will be able to make him a _ permanent institution. In the past year 22 wiid animals have _ been born in the circus, many of them on the trains en route between stands. They represent an added value to the shew of $14,000. What the Brutes Are Worth. Bmith has a cage of young lionesses _which he has raised. These are worth 1, $400 each. Three young tigers born 7 with the show are worth $1000 each.

DULL AND. INEFFECTIVE

Florence Roberts and Her Company Struggle Vainlv Against Its Blight.

T. LOUIS playgoers have, perhaps, S Structed as “Sham,” in which Florence Roberts is appearing during the early half of this week at the Cen- tury, but none worse. Miss Roberts, Who is an effective actress when she, has opportunity, struggles in vain against its blight. The offering purports to be a sa- tirical society comedy with an epigram- matic turn to its lines, but its satire is heavily done and its epigrams are of mock brilliancy, so ‘forced in their sparkle that the flash fades from them even in the utterance. One feels the ar- tificiality of the Work at every moment. it’s all very much like the pearls that the star, as Katherine Van _ Riper, the heroine, essays to sell during the Progress of the story—sheer imitation Of the real thing. Wherefore “Sham” is a good title for the play—the only gpod point to be dis- cerned in it, indeed. Occasional Oases in the Desert. Once or twice during the evening Miss Roberts has a chance to reveal her undeniable gifts as an emotional actress, and at these moments she @cores according to her merits, but they @re mere oases in a desert of dull- ness. At all other times the play moves haltingly, sometimes with pauses MOTHER'S

so ghastly’ as to be dismaying in their significance of inexpert play-building. One feels profoundly grateful when, at the close, Katherine Van Riper an- nounces that she intends to give up all “shams’’—for surely this must mean that “Sham”’ itself is to be given up. The: réason why this determination is reached jis that Miss Van Riper grown tired of the “make-believe” of society, in which she has been a sort of a “‘trailer,’’ because of having to keep up with the procession on a measly little i&come of only $300 per month. She gets all tangled up in debts, she finds that even her heirloom pearls are “‘phony,’”’ her father having sold the originals and substituted bogus gems in their place, and her aunts have to come to her rescue and buy the worth- less things in, order to save the family honor. Hence Katherine’s big disgust with “shams,” both lapidary and social —but, happily, she finds a real treasure in a mining engineer from Idaho, and her wedding bells are ringing, figura- tively, when the last curtain falls. Clever Work, but It Is All Wasted. As has been said, Miss Roberts does her best to make “Sham” something more than its name, and she is capably supported by a clever company, the best work being done by Thurlow Bergen as Tom Jaffray, the young mining engi- eer, and Misses Georgia Woodthrope and Kate Jepson as the two scheming aunts. But it’s a hopeless task—even the best .of players must have a real play in which to exercise their talents if*success is to be achieved, Beginning «Thutsday evening, Miss Roberts will be seen in ‘“‘Zira,’’ a strong- ly emotional drama that should give her excellent opportunity for effective work.

WHITE oALS ATTEND BANQUE]

Speakers Favor Amalgamation and Insist on Immediate Social Equality.

SOCIETY WOMAN TALKS —_—_—eE———— ——- — Cheered When She Tells Mem- bers of Races to “Get Cfeser.”. ‘ —_—————e sl By Lensed Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 28.—Social equal- ity and intermarriage between the races were advocated last night at a banquet of the Cosmopolitan Society of Great- er New York, where 20 white girls and women dined with negro. men a women. Whether by accident or design, all of the white women save. three found, when they reached the tables at Peck’s Restaurant, at 140 Fulton street, that the seats beside them were to be oc- cupled by negro men. Many of the men were as black as coal. The Rev. Madison C. Peters, who had intended to speak to the society, Premained only long enough to view this startling seating arrangement. As the first course of the dinner was served he called Andre Tridon, the treasurer of the society, aside, and, pleading as an excuse another speech which must be delivered uptown, hurried from the room. In spite of promises that he wouki return and speak, Dr. Peters failed to come back and the speech was not delivered. : Society Woman at Spenker’s Table. , Miss Mary White Ovington, a Brook- _ Jyn society girl, who has been prominent in settlement work, and whose father is proprietor of the Hotel St. George, was the only white woman who occupied a geat at the speakers’ table. Negroes were clustered all about her. On her right hand sat William H. Ferris, a negro graduate of Harvard, who told later of his effort to implant his ‘‘Bos- ton education’ in the South. At this table also sat Hamilton Holt, intro- duced: as ‘Editor-in-Chief of the Inde- pendent,’’ and whose subsequent utter- ances on intermarriage stirred his audi- tors to enthusiastic lause, At the Jeft of Miss Ovington was seated Edi- tor Villard of the New York Evening Post, and his plea for “equality and abolition of caste spirit’ a few minutes later drew forth another wild outburst. But the one table in particular which attracted attention was that at which half a dozen women were seated, and where the young negro, army caytain, H. uf ev

with loud outbursts. Groans greeted the nhames of Roosevelt, Taft and Bryan, and wild applause followed every men- tion of Socialism. But the greatest dem- onstration was drawn out by direct or indirect allusions to intermarriage, whether through the gentle discussion of ‘‘social equality,’”’ as spoken by Miss Ovington, or the broad, bald advocacy of the direct intermarriage. Hamilton Holt, editor of the Inde- pendent, struck the keynote of the feel- ings of the negroes when he said: ‘“In- termarriage, if continued long enough, would solve the race problem. I do not believe that the white man would be so anxious to marry the negro wom- an, as would the negro man to wéd the but this would continue, the negro man marrying the white woman, until the dark race would gradually bieach."’ Miss Ovington did not touch upen race equality as bluntly as Mr. Holt had done. Still she grew enthusiastic when she got to speaking, and said: “‘Move your chairs nearer together and get up closer.” That invitation was generally accepted by the colored dinner partners of the white girls, and a great noise of chair crowding continued for some minutes. Force Is Advocat About this time Dr. Ferris, the colored collegian, was called upon. He was de- lighted to speak and said: “Ig it too ston to admit the negro into the bro- therhood of equality in the human fam- ily? This meeting means more to the negro of the black belt of the South than to the negro of the North. It marks an epoch for the down South negro. It is a question of recognizing him as @ man and as an equal. There is only one way to sucteed—demand your equality. “We “*ve two leaders, Booker Wash- ington advocating peaceful resistance. and then there is Dubois saying, ‘Rxer- cise your rights.’ Now, which shall it be?” “Exercise our rights!" shouted a voice, followed by great applause, which was joined in by white and black alike.

mT SLE ON DENUNCIATION OF lS RAILWAY Frisco Chairman, Here, De- clines to Discuss Com-. mission’s Report.

B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Exe- cutive Board of the Frisco-Rock Island System, was interrogated by a Post-Dis- patch reported at the Hotel Jefferson Tuesday in reference to the recent re- port of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission denouncing the merger of the Frisco and Rock Island companies. Mr. Yoakum declined to comment on the Gommission’s declaration that the ‘Rock Island holding company is a de- vice of high finance.’’ “IT do not care to discuss any railroad matters at all,’’ said Mr. Yoakum. “In fact, I have nothing of interest for the public at this time.’ “Is the general railroad situation im- ’ Mr. Yoakum was asked. proving?’ answered ‘“T don’t know, I can't say,”’ Mr. Yoakum.

UMAN SHUNS BRIDE FATHER WON BY MA Daughter Moves Furniture Away Before Dentist Re- turns from Wedding Tour. ——— ee A WANT AD ROMANCE

Letter to Jefferson City Paper Describes 60-Year-Old Bridegroom’s Bliss.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, April 28.—Dr. Wil- liam D. Morris, 60 years old, for many years one of the leading dentists of Jef- ferson City, has returned from a journey through the East with. .a bride, won through a newspaper advertisement, to find that his daughter, Miss Edna Mor- ris, has moved out many articles of furniture and refused to return home. Dr. Morris is very reticent about the details of his courtship through a mat- rimonial agency and the mails, and de- clined today to speak of that phase of his romance. Before his departure for the East three weeks ago, Dr. Morris told of his advertisement for a wife, and even exhibited a few letters from the woman who had answered his adver- tisement. Married Almost at Sight. The courtship through the mails con- tinued a few weeks, then Dr. Morris went to Delaney Valley, Md., where his bride-to-be resided. A few hours after hig arrival they were married. In advance of his return home, Dr. Morris wrote a letter to a Jefferson City paper, telling of his happiness, and everybody was waiting with inter- est When the dentist and his bride reached the city. Upon going to his home, Dr. Morris found his daughter, who had opposed the marriage, had moved many articles of furniture away. She is residing in another part of the city. Mrs. Morris is several years younger than her husband, and has six grown daughters. It was at the home of one of them that she married Dr. Mor- ris. Writes of His Bliss. In his letter to a Jefferson City news- paper, Dr. Morris wrote: “When I left Jefferson City some 10 days ago, I little thought of all the hap- piness that was in store for me. “After reaching Baltimore I went. to Delaney Valley, where I was married to the present Mrs. William D. Morris. It would be entirely out of place to Bay I now consider myself the ‘Darling of the Gods,’ and ever will think of the beautiful valley with a heart full of gratitude. “T bave often heard of the beautiful women of Baltimore, but, my dear friends, the charming grace and ele- gance of manner, combined with the far-famed Southern hospitality, quite lifted me into the seventh Heaven.” FARMERS MUST PUT UP WITH EITHER RAT OR RATTLESNAKE One Pest Is Destroyed, but Kanga- roo Rodent Then Appears to Eat Grapevines. SANTA CRUZ, Cal., April 2.—One of the most destructive pests with which vineyardists have to contend, known as the Kangaroo rat, has made its appearance in the vineyards around and on the summit of Ben Lomond Mountain. They are appearing by the hundreds and are feeding on the buds of the grapevines and if some effective means of killing them is not hit upon, they will destroy the crop. The cause of their appearance in such numbers is attributed to recent wholesale slaugh- ter of rattlesnakes, which live on the rat.

VEN TAS NU PRESENT CHARMS FOR CARNEGIE Laird of Skibo Tells ‘‘Vaga- bonds‘‘ He Would Lin- ger on Earth.

ENVIES YOUNG ARTIST

Scotch Croesus Says He Is No Bigot, but Encourages Temperate Habits. NEW YORK, -April 28.—Andrew Car- negie beamed through his halo of white hair and whiskers as he stood at the luncheon table of the Vagabonds in the Dutch Tavern grillroom of the Na- tional Arts Club yesterday noon and gazed into a glass of ice water. He had been informally introduced as one of the principal speakers. He said: Would Be a Bohemian. “The Bohemian side of life always appealed to me strongly, though clir- cumstances have prevented me from fol- lowing out my tastes in that direction. True, I had hobnobbed with Mark Twain and Joe Jefferson and only the other day the staff of the Outlook invited me to lunch with them. Oh, you see, I have been in some good society in my time. Still, for the most part, I am committed to a life of order and respectability, which, I assure you, is a great strain. But here I feel quite at home. This is where I enjoy myself. Ah, you don’t need any advice from me on how to be happy—you boys with youth and am- bition and the world before you. “I wish I could trade positions with you,’ continued Mr. Carnegie, address- ing the vagabond who sat nearest him. “You have youth and good looks—no, 1 don’t mean you, Mr. President, but’ the young man on your left—and you ve cleverness, or you would not be here. Now, if you could trade with me, how many millions would you want to boot? You see, gentlemen, he don't take up. Idkes This Earth. “Shall I tell you my dearest wish? Something past praying for, I kiow— but if I were to think of the thing I should most desire if I could have any wish I wanted, it would be this: That I might have an option on remaining here on this green earth until I should care to leave it. I don’t want any sud- den change from this life and this world, as I know it to be, at its best, from my own friends around me. I’m not hankering after heaven. “I can sympathize with the old negro servant of a friend of mine—an old fel- low who was always complaining, but who liked his perquisites in the way of the scraps and leavings of the banquets which his master gave. ‘I’m ‘feared I's gwine-to leave you, marster, very soon,’ he would say. ‘Dis pooh ole niggah am booked for de golden shoah, dat’s shuah.’ “Then, after the feast, this same darkey would be hopping about, merri- ly, singing ‘I bet mah money on a bob- talled nag, ho-de-doo-dah-da.’ “His master would surprise him in this mood, and say: ‘You're not feeling so poorly as you were—eh, Sam” “ ‘Oh, yes, sah! I's pow'ful bad, ‘deed I is. I is bound for dat golden shore, all right—only, thank God, de excursion am postponed.’ ”’ “Temperance Man, but Ne Bigot.” After Mr. Carnegie’s health and long earthly lease had been coplously drunk he got his second wind, and continued, pushing aside the ice water: “One good thing about vagabonds is that they won't stand for being lectured. They are impatient of good advice and believe they have brains enough to find out things for thems@ives. So I'll merely state that my attitude on thé temper- ance question is somewhat like that of a man whom I once reproached for wearing the blue ribbon on his lapel, while he staggered from bar to bar, depleting the entire avaliable supply of Scotch whisky. “I’m a temperance mon,’ says he, ‘but I'm nae bigot.’ Though not a bigot myself, 1 Itke to encourage temperate habits among those in my service, es pecially the sallors and engineers who run my yacht. 8So I give a 10 per cent benus over and above their regular wages to all who promise te abstain

LAW INADEQUATE NOW

Regulation of Corporations Left to ‘“One-Sided Fed- eral Judiciary.”

By Wire from the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 28.—Congress to- day listened to the reading of the Presi- for the extension of the Federal Gov- ernment’s power to limit corporations. It was sent to both houses yesterday afternoon, but it was not officially re- ceived in the House owing to the new rules, and the Senate postponed its read- ing until today. For the second time this session, the Senate gave a presidential message a discourteous reception. There was much confusion when the reading began; and the members did not attempt to stop the disorder. The clerk had read about three lines, when Senator Foraker moved to adjourn, and the motion was carried. In the opinion of the President it is absolutely necessary that somebody, ‘“‘whether a commission or a bureau un- der the Department of Commerce and Labor, should be given this power.’’ It must always be borne in mind, the President adds, ‘‘that as regards the great and wealthy through which most of the interstate business of today is done, the burden of proof should be on them to show that they have a right to exist.”’ Congress’ failure to clothe the Feder- al Government with power to regulate these commercial combinations leaves them to be regulated by “the occasional and necessarily inadequate and one- sided action of the Federal judiciary.” No matter how upright a court may be, Mr. Roosevelt argues, it can only act “negatively, or destructively, as an agent of Government.” Other Recommendations. The President begins by recommend- ing further employers’ liability iaws; a child labor law for the District of Co- lumbia; sufficient financial support for the Waterways Commission; the ap- pointment of a committee to investigate tariff conditions; legisiatien providing temporary measures to meet any further financial trouble, and the preservation of the Apalachian forests. On the subject of “government by in- junction,”’ the President reiterates the arguments he used in previous messages to support his contention that the pres- ent procedure works a grave injustice to the great body of American citizens, especially in labor disputes. He urges Congress to enact legisiation which would minimize the “reckless use’ of the injunction, which “tends to make honest men desire so to hamper its ex- recution as to destroy its usefulness.” The strengthening of the anti-trust law is demanded upon both moral and economic grounds, the President de- clares. He reviews the industrial revo- lution of the past 3) years, which was accompanied by the development of vast commercial combinations whose power must be limited for the public safety. Not a Leap ta the Dark. He argues that regulations by the in- dividual states, which could be exer- cised only over intrastate and not Inter- state commerce, would be inadequate; and then follows his plea that more supervisory power be vesteu in the Na- tional Government. It would not be a leap in the dark, he assures Congress; on the other hand, it would be merely an extension of the theory of control of corporations which led to the establish- ment ef the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, which, the President says, has been of immense benefit to the public. On the question as whether labor or- gauizations should or should not be ex- empt from the operations of the anti- trust laws, the President says:

dent's latest message, containing a plea combinations {| and sale-of the products of labor, as by certain forms of the boycott, it has left the field of production, and its action may plainly be in restraint of the in- erstate trade, and must necessarily be subject to inquiry, exactly as in the case of any other combination for the same Purpose, so as to determine whether such action is contrary to sound public policy. The heartiest encouragement should be given to the -wageworkers to form labor unions and their right to strike, so long as they act peaceably must be preserved. But we should sanc- tion neither a boycott nor a blicklist which would be illegal at ane law.”’ The “Boston Agreeme It is sometimes argued he Ape is ro necessity for laws looking to the con-

Former Gov. Stephen~’ complaint against the _, St; Louis lighting combiaation is just, so far as it _ “pertains to inciviMty, but the real grievance of the people against this trust does not rest upon fits rules and regulations for the collection of the gums that may be due to it. The public wrong involved has two intolerable features. One of them is the ownership and con- trol of the one St. Louis electric light company and the one St. Louls gas company by the North American Trust. This trust is a holding company which has monopolized the lighting business in a great city contrary to law. The other is the prac- tice of. at least one of the subsidiary companies of making prices which are unreasonable and dis- "_ Sriminating. - Principles of law now pretty well settled in The action as to the “trial on Saturday. It goes to the very foundation ” wt the monopoly. If it succeeds.-the North Amer- . #4dn Trust will be dissolved and the managers ‘« thereof will no longer be in a position to capital- > dae extortion and favoritism in St. Louis.

we 2*es ie THE PRESIDENT’S FINAL APPEAL. The President’s special message is an urgent and probably a final appeal to Congress to enact ¢ Fd : IP nto Jaw the various suggestions which he has re- tédly made heretofore. As Congress is to adjourn in about three weeks there is no possiblity of favorable action upon the President’s recommendations, even if many or most of its members were in sympathy with theny, The fact. that his own party, having a large majority in both houses. does not look with - favor upon his policies has been denfonstrated re- peatedly. Some of the President’s proposals in regard to the control of business affairs at Washington i fadical, andthe country is not ready for as yet, byt others are reasonable and praise- worthy. The probability is that if he had ad- ‘dressed Congress as temperately in the early days of its session as he has of late ‘his influence in that quarter would have been much greater. As a campaign document the message can hard- ly help a 5 cand whose representatives ignore it. Aas Ae. rT Fre IN DEFENSE OF MR. THOMPSON. Surprise and indignation were expressed by some Democrats at Chillicothe, Mo., because an enthusiastic speaker in a moment of exuberance suggested the idea tha: Joseph W. Folk might be the party nominee for President this year and that, if so, he would be acceptable. ; _ Mr, Folk is one of the two Democratic candi- dates who distinguished themselves in 1904. He earried Missouri, which voted for Roosevelt and elected most of the Republican State candidates. He has made a record as Governor Which ought » give him distinction wherever Democrats as- ble to discuss party plans arrd policies. _ The Post-Dispatch does not look for Gov.

IN THE SHADOW QF AUTOCRACY. Mr. Roosevelt's. solémn' belief that there -are good trusts as well as baa trusts bas led him to insist upon the amendment of thé antitrust law go that an officer or officers appointed by the | President will have the power to say to the ex- cellent trusts: “Go in peace,” and to reserve the reprobate trusts for punishment or destruction. Few American statesmen would ,care to have their names coupled with an idea of this sort, but Mr. Roosevelt is nothing if hot original and dar- ing. He has advocated this plan Qn many occa- sions and, though he finds no support, he per- sists. If we had a bureau at Washington, in charge of a few political grand dukes clothed with the pow- er here described a new and highly injeresting feature would be added to our party contests. The bad trusts and the good trusts would be pret- ty well known to ‘the people at large in advance of any official judgment at the capital. Men who chanced to be in disfavor among the bureauerats, whether they were conducting particularly bad trusts or not, might as well be doing business on top of Vesuvius. Under the present law, which is entorns and equal in its terms and: application, treating all trusts as offenders, the President and hig subordi- nates have found it comparatively easy: to pro- tect what he calls the good trusts. The §Steél Trust, for example, which maintains intimate re- lations with Republican headquarters, has. es- caped accusation, and the Coal Trust, a twin brother, has not been seriousy menaced. If the time ever comes when, in order to deal with the evils which assail them, the people shall find it necessary to lodge ina bureau at Washing- ton the power to suspend laws in behalf of fa- vored interests they may as well say farewell to the Constitution, close the courts and make a generous appropriation for crown jewels. ee ~-Oo4e— -—-- DISCOURAGING COMPETITION IN GAS. The bill providing for competition in the mat- ter of gas supply for St. Louis which is to be in- troduced in the Council today is so severe in its terms that even the existing monopoly cannot re- gard it with much disfavor. It is excellent policy to learn by experience and to profit to the utmost from past errors, but, if we are ever to have competition. in the gas busi- ness here, we must be careful not to learn tco much. The trust itself could not have drawn a stiffer ordinance than that jhich goes to the Council today.

a ODD ST. LOUIS’ GIFT TO THE ST. LOUIS. It shall.not long be said that, of all the com- munities for which battleships have been named, St. Louis alone has failed to respond to the com- pliment, : Now that public attention has been called to the omission there will’ be quick response to re- pair it handsomely.” Perhaps the gift will be the more generous because of the oversight. The gift to the magnificent cruiser should be worthy of the city whose name it bears, and citi- zens should be proud to avail themselves of the opportunity to subseribe gracefully to the fund for that purpose. he, A ab www RAISULI—MAY HE REST IN PEACE. If it were not possible and proper on occasion to vary the rule of speaking only good of the dead it would not be possible to mention the late lamented Raisuli at all. A good many prayers have gone up for the dis- solution of this genial bandit who has been black- mailing international society and sticking in the craw of civflization for several years, and the news of his demise is almost too good to be true. If true, there will be good people in the neigh- borhood of Tangier who will now breathe a deep breath for the first time in years... It is not too much to say that with his knack of robbing natives, his habit of abducting foreign- ers and his penchant for parading his band about with bloody heads on their spears and pikestaves Raisuli has made life a nightmare for Morocco, whose hope will be that his ghost dies with him. Yet it might be said, withal, that Raisuli ad- vanced civilization. In his.own way he put Mo- rocco on the map and invited the world to clean it up.

Some Day There Will Be Another. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Between two cities of the size of St. Louis and East St. Louis the ordinary traffic depends upon one narrow bridge, built before trolley cars were thought of. By the placing of tracks for cars the apace available for wagons is so reduced that two large .drays cannot pass each other without encroach- ing on the car tracks, with the neressarily attendant blockades and delays. \Anyone who is compelled as I am to cross the bridge daily appreciates this. For many weeks past repairs have been in progress—and awfully slow progress—on the viaduct, leaving but one car track available. This has still further inter- fered with traffic. and made the crossing of the bridge something to be dreaded.

NEW YORK IS TEA MAD

geet | She Got the Habit From London by Way of Paris and Rooms | Dot the Shopping District. By DIANE de MORIGNY

EW YORK has the tea habit and has it bad. Between 4 and 6 o’clook the tearooms of every big hotel in the city are crowded with handsomely gowned women, who sit chatting for hours over cups of the fragrant brew and exchange unlimited confidences while nibbling sandwiches or scones. Every hotel has its specialty in the way of cakes and sandwiches for 6 o’clock tea. The hostelry that is the most popular at present presents you with small sandwiches made of bread as thin as paper and chicken as narrow sliced as a mean thought, the whole tied up nicely with pink or biue ribbons. “Little boy and little girl sandwiches,” said the mother of twins. “‘I’ll take these ribbons home to the children.”’ Indeed, these ribbon sandwiches are one of the hits of the season. Not to have eaten them and carried off the ribbons as trophies argues you not up to date, and when the tea hour is over you frequently see girls going‘out with a large bunch of multi-colored ribbons pinned on their frocks as if they were nosegays. New York got the fea habit from Paris, which got it from London, that’s why it’s fashionable and the fad of the moment. Everybody knows that English people drink tea at 5 o’clock and always have and always will. They drink it in that nice, calm, placid manner which distinguishes them, and it is such an institution and taken s0 soberly that they would never think of making a fad out of it or originating anything as daring as ice cream sandwiches or scones en frisette to go with It. But when the tea fad reached Paris it went right to the heart of the Paris- ienne. It gave her opportunities which no other meal and no other occasion had afforded, and she made the most of it. She planned costumes which com- bined the elegance of a tailor suit with the cloth, cut and ornament of a dinner gown. She affected particularly expensive simplicity for the “Five o'clock,” as she called it. For winter, say, a white tailored costume trimmed with sable, and for spring a. very tight-fit-ting, trailing walking dress, in which, of course, she couldn’t possibly walk a block, made of some dainty material that could never stand any rougher usage than trailing over the velvet carpet of the tea room. English tea rooms—so called—sprang up in the Place Vendome, in the Rue de la Paix and in all the most delightful and expensive quarters of Paris. There you could get tea, chocolate, brioche and all kinds of delightful patis- serie, and as everybody who was anybody went all the rest came, too. New York has copied Paris—and will soon leave it far behind in the tea pro- cession. As said, in one block in the center of town—one of the short blocks —there are seven tea rooms, all doing - flourishing business. The woman who has capital enough to open a tea room in the shopping and center of New York can be sure after six months of making a success of it. Usually the owner of the tea room sends out cards to all her friends who have the price, and if her circle of acquaintance is not large she can com- Line the sale of antiques with the dispensing of the fragrant cup and chari- tably include in her mailing list the complete new social register, which is the telephone book. 7 .; +

FAT PATIENT LOSES THREE POUNDS

First Week of Mrs. Martin’s Treatment Is Trying, but She Has Made a Distinct Advance. Written for the Post-Dispatch BY MARGARET HUBBARD AYER.

lighter than she was a week ago. But she has had a week of sacrifice. M RS. MARTIN, the Post-Dispatch’s fat patient, is three pounds By rights, all this should have happened before Lent instead of aft- er. table, as she has had to do. Her breakfast, which used to consist of a debauch of coffee, cereals, batter cakes and syrup, now is reduced to one cup of weak tea, two slices of toasted bread, with salt instead of butter, an Orange and a soft-boiled egg. During the week she has varied the latter part of her breakfast menu by substituting chipped beef for the boiled egg, and on Thursday a small mutton chop without fat. For luncheon she has had (twice) a couple of slices of cold mutton, lettuce salad and toasted gluten bread, with salt instead of butter. Her dinner consisted again of fruit, stewed wjthout sugar, prunes or apri- cots, toasted bread, a salad or a green vegetable and meat. She felt it neces-' sary to have edt three times a day as she had given up so many things to which she was accustomed. For instance, all kinds of potatoes, rolls, pas- tries, sweets, sugar in any form, candy and beer. Before breakfast every morning she takes three glasses of cold water in gmall sips and the same at night before going to bed, and has been able to give up the cathartics to which she has been addicted for many years. This she considers a great gain. Mrs. Martin is trying to learn to masticate her food very thoroughly—in fact, to Fletcherize it, she is instructed to chew each mouthful 37 times. By masticating until every part of the nutriment is extracted from the morsel in the mouth, the food taken into the stomach really nourishes and the appetite js soon satisfied. One of the greatest aids to the accumulation of flesh is sleep, which is a bit, and becomes a fixed habit with many stout people. The nerves are so eévered with.a padding of fat that the result in many people is one of almost torpor. During her treatment Mrs. Martin has promised not to sleep more than seven hours during the 24, and not to take any naps during the day. __Next_ week I shall expect _a larger decrease in weight.

Then it wouldn’t have seemed so hard to give up the good things of the.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR GIRL. By HELEN ROWLAND.

A sacrifice. Both are right. j It takes six men, all of them very much in love, to \ rite as many letters as one girl who is just a little bit in love. Allowing for the difference in perspective, after all, husbands are. just like other men. When two people wake up from love’s young dream the woman's first thought is “‘How can I patch it up?’’ the man’s, ‘‘How can I break it off?"’ A man’s anxiety to talk about his latest love affair is only equalled by his reticence in regard to all those that have gone before. Matrimony to a bachelor is like a salad, a bandbox or a newspaper; it looks interesting, but he feels suspicious of what's in it. : Infatuation is like a rose, saccharine and ephemeral; love is like an immor- telle, crisp and everlasting. Most of the cases in the divorce courts could be traced to a man’s deception before marriage and a woman's attempt at his reformation after marriage. It isn’t conscience, but the fear of consequences that keeps a man from trifling with a pretty woman. There are three moments in a man’s life when he thinks seriously of bolting to Canada or the antipodes: When he first discovers that he is in love; when he has made up his mind to propose, and when he wakes up on the morning of his wedding day. is Poverty is a love charm; you never know how great a thing love is unti) you haven't an: ‘thing else in 2 world.

THE HOUSE ano tHe BRAIN

This Has Been Called “the Greatest Ghost Story in Al English | Literature.” By BULWER LYTTON. _ Permission of George Munro's Sons.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. The writer, an. Englishman, hears of a haunted house in London and obtains Pe. mission from the owner to spend a night there. Thither he gooes one evening with_his brave man servant and his bull terrier. Sus- pecting human agency in the ghostly visita- ions, he is heavily armed and prepares to expose any trick the supposed ‘‘ghosts’” may seek to play. He hears strange sounds and seen in the dust before him the print of a child’s bare foot. A _ closed door resists his efforts, then opens of its own accord. In a bureau the writer finds a packet of old letters. His dog is now observed to be in an agony of fear from some unknown cause. The servant. rushing past from an inner room, yells: ‘‘Run! t is after me!”’ and bolts out of the house. The master, left alune in the haunted. house braces his nerves against terror, but presently becomes aware of a dim shape in the room. Then in succession arpear several ghostly figures, which this same terrible, shadowy shape at length bolts from view. The onlooker feels that if he vields to the terror that assails him he will be killed by this weird presence. e resists and at dawyn leaves the house. is 4 lies dead, its back broken by some mysterious agency. The writer goes to the hc use’srowner to discuss the affair. He tries to explain his theory of it, and suggests to the owner that a small room which he be- lieves to be the ghostly headquarters be demolished. CHAPTER VI. Investigation.

A ceived a letter from Mr. J—-, telling me that he had visited the “house since I had seen him; that he had found the two letters I had de- scribed, replaced in the drawer from which I had taken them; that he had read them with misgivings like my own; that he had instituted a cautious in- quiry about the woman to whom I right- ly conjectured they had been written. It seemed that thirty-six years ago (a year before the date of the letters) she had married against the wishes of her relations, an American of very sus- picious character; in fact, he was gen- erally believed to have been a pirate. She herself was the daughter of very respectable tradespeople, and had served in the capacity of a nursery governess before her marriage. She had a brotlfer, a widower, who was considered wealthy and who had one child about 6 years old. A month after the marriage the body of this brother was found in te Thames, near London Bridge; there seemed some marks of violence about his throat, but they were not deemed sufficient to warrant the inquest in any qther vedict than that of ‘found drowned.”

BOUT ten days afterward I re- The American and his wife took charge of the little boy, the deceased brother having by his will left his sis- ter guardian of his only child—and in event of the child’s death, the sister inherited The child died about six months afterward—it was supposed to have been neglected and _ill-treated. The neighbors deposed to have heard it shriek at night. The surgeon’ who had examined it after death said that it was emaciated as if from the want of nourishment, and the body was cov- ered with livid bruises. It seemed that one winter night the child had sought to escape—crept out into the back yard—tried to scale the wall—fallen back exhausted, and been found at morning on the stones in a dying state: But though there was some evidence of cruelty, there was none of murder; and the aunt and her husband had sought to palliate cruelty by alleging the exceeding stubbornness and perversity of the child, who was declared to be half-witted. Be that as it may, at the orphan’s death the aunt inherited her brother’s fortune. Before the first wedded year was out, the American had quitted England abruptly and never returned to it. He obtained a cruising vessel, which was lost in the Atlantic two years afterward. The widow was left in affluence, but reverses of various kinds had befallen her; a bank broke—an investment failed —she went into a.small business and be- came insolvent—then she entered into service, sinking lower and lower, from housekeeping down to maid-of-all work —never long retaining a place, though nothing decided against her char- acter was ever alleged. She was considered sober, honest and pecullarly quiet in her ways; still nothing pros- pered with her. And so she had dropped into the workhouse,, from which Mr. Se Te

Something Cool for \ en in Hot Weather Two and Three Piece Suits made from J—— had taken her, to be placed in charge of the very house which she had rented as mistress in the first year of her wedded life. ‘ Mr. J—— added that he had passed an hour alone in the unfurnished room which I had urged him to destroy, and that his impressions of dread while there were so great, though he had neither heard nor seen anything, that he was eager to have the walis bared and the floors removed as I had suggested. He had engaged persons for the work and woul@ commence any day I would name. The day was accordingly fixed. I re- paired to the haunted house—we went into the blind, dreary room, took up the skirting and then the floors. Un- der the rafters, cevered with rubbish, was found a trap door, quite large enough to admit a man. It was closely nailed down with clamps and rivets of iron. On removing tgese we descended into a room below, the existence of which had never been suspected. In this room there nad been a Window and a flue, but they had been bricked over, evidently for many years. By the help of candles we examined this place. It still retained some moldering furniture— three chairs, an oak settee, a table—all of the fashion of about eighty years ago. There was a chest of drawers against the wall, in which we found, half rotted away, ola-fashioned articles of a man’s dress, such as might have been worn eighty or a hundred years ago by a gen- tleman of some rank—costly steel buckles and buttons like those yet worn in court dresses—a handsome court sword—in a waistcoat which had once been rich with gold lace, but which was now blackened and foul with damp, we found five guineas. a few silver coins and an ivory ticket, probably for some place of entertainment long since passed away. But our main discoverey was in a kind of iron safe fixed to the wall, the lock of which it cost us much trouble to get picked. In the safe were three shelves and two small drawers. Ranged on the shelves were several small bottles of crystal hermetically stopped. They con- tained colorless volatile essences, of the nature of which I shall only say that they were not poisons—phosphor and ammonia entered into some of them. There were also some very cur- lous glass tubes, and a small pointed rod of iron, with a large lump of rock- crystal, and another of amber—also a loadstone of great power. In one of the drawers we found a miniature portrait set in gold, and re- taining the freshness of its colors most remarkably, considering the length of time it had probably been there. The portrait was that of a man who might be somewhat advanced in middle lIffe, perhaps 47 or 48. Mechanically I turned round the min- lature to examine the back of it, and on e back was engraved a pentacle: In the middle of the pentacle a ladder and the third step of the ladder was formed by the date of 176. Examining still more minutely I detected a spring: this on being pressed opened the back of the miniature as a lid. Inside the lid was engraved, “Mariana, to thee; be faithful in life ang In death te’—— Here follows a name that I will not mention, but it was not unfamiliar to me. I had heard it spoken of by old men in my childhood as the name borne by a dazzling charlatan who had made a great sensation in London for a year or so, and had fled the country on the charge of a double murder within his own house—that of his wife and his ri- val. I said nothing of this to Mr. J—., to whom reluctantly I resigned the min- lature. We had found no difficulty in opening the first drawer within the iron safe; we found great difficulty in opening. the locked, but it re- | snook to and fro, as if a giant had

swayed and rocked them. The two workmen werc so frightencd that they ran up'the ladder by which we had descended from the trapdoor; but seeing that nothing more happened, they were easily induced to return. - Meanwhile, I had opened the tablet; it was bound in platn red leather, with a silver clasp; it contained but one sheet of thick vellum, and on that sheet were inscribed, within a double pentacle, words in old monkish Latin, which are literally to be translated thus: “On —sentient or inanimate, living or dead— as moves the needle, so work my will! Accursed be the house, and restless be the dwellers therein.” We found no more. Mr. J—— burnt the tablet and its anathema. He razed to the foundations the part of the building containing the secret room with the chamber over it. He had then the courage to inhabit the house him- self for a month, and a quieter, better- conditioned house courd not be found in all London. Su tly he let it to advantage, and i made no complaints.

There is also a possibility that he will haul out Big Bill Dinneen this after- noon, though the weather is a bit too chilly to start off his big twirler, on whom he is placing his hopes for a vic- torious year. If Manager Jones,wants this game very much, he will put in Frank Smith, the twirler who’saved the day for him yesterday.

HACK SIGNS TO WRESTLE GOTCH Second Match Will Be in England or France. for Purse of $10,000.

Epeciil to the Post-Dicpatch. LONDON, April 28.—Managers Mor- gan and Morley, respectively for ‘‘Rus- sian Lion’? Hackenschmidt and Frank Gotch, met representatives today of the syndicate offering $10,000 for a match between the two wrestlers and closed a tentative agreement for a meeting either in England or France on a date yet to be fixed. Articles were drawn up, signed by Hackenschmidt and mailed to Gotch, who has. expressed his willingness for a match. It is not known how the purse is to be divided, but the general impression is that each wrestler will take half. M’GOVERN, NOW LIGHTWEIGHT. RE-ENTERS THE RING TONIGHT Terry Will Meet Englishman Sum- mers in 10-Round Bout in New York. NEW YORK, April 2%.—Terry Mce- Govern will meet Johnny Summers of England in a 10-round fight in this city tonight. McGovern is stronger and heavier than ever. In his work outs his punch seems to have lost none of its force. McGovern is really a_ light’ weight. Summers is not a world beater by any means but nevertheless he has beaten some good men. : McGevern is 28 years of age and has been beaten but twice. Not long ago Mc- Govern was confined in an asylum be- cause his mind was affected. A bene- fit was tendered him and shortly after- ward McGovern was taken South with the New York Giants. Playing baseball and other outdoor exercise put McGov- ern back on his feet again. McGovern now states that he intends to go after the lightweight championship. DOMINICK BACK IN SADDLE FOR OLD EMPLOYER, COOK St. Louis Rider Departs for Lexing- ton to Again Take Up Riding. Eddie Dominick, a St. Louis boy, who was credited in many quarters with be- ing the champion jockey of America four years ago, departed last night for Lexington, Ky., to again take up the racing game as a jockey. Dominick will ride for his former em- ployer, Fred Cook. Dominick at pres- ent weighs about 112 pounds. He ex- pects to be able to make 105 pounds. Dominick has been granted a license to ride, but will put in about a week of hard work exercising horses in order to work himself to take off weight and to get into condition. If Dominick makes good at Louisville he will be taken East by Cook to ride his best horses. LEWIS KNOCKS OUT CONLEY Third Round Clinch Ends With One Fighter on Floor. Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUGUSTA, Ga., April 28,—Harry Lewis of Philadelphia knocked out Jerry Conley of South Boston before the Augusta A. A. last night. In the third round they swapped body blows and clinched. Lewis swung a short-arm right to Conley’s jaw. Conley toppled over,

striking on his left side and face. At the count of nine Conley made a con- vulsive effort to rise, but could not do so and was counted out. MATINEE AT DRIVING CLUB The officers of the North 8t.

PARIS WANTS THE BOUT PARIS, April 28.—A syndicate of sporting men is being formed here to try and pull off a match between “Tommy” Burns and the negro, ‘“‘Jack’’ Johnson. Johnson and his manager are now in England and are trying to get Burns to meet the férmer. Burns has expressed his willingness to meet the negro provided the money inducements are sufficiently large enough.

Rerolle has held the Euro- pean title five times and only lost it just before sailing for this country. J. Ferdinand Poggenburg of this city, who meets the Frenchman in the first game, has held the national title. His best practice at 18.2 has produced an average of 21.64, with a high run of 12).

‘LONDON, April 28.—Tommy Burns, heavyweight champion fighter, has been cornered by Jack Johnson, the big negro heavyweight, who arrived from the United States yesterday, and Burns, in the opinion of the sporting men of this country, must fight Johnson either in this country or in America. Johnson’s baggage was not off the steamer on which he arrived yesterday

* HE battle waa over. The shades of night had perate strife. Even the war correspondents had caravanserai in the North Grand gagement were gone over again.. The battle was’not the only thing gone over, There was Mr. George Stone —they not only went over him care- fully, but they smoothed him out with crushing arguments and ground his al- most-champion reputation to powder. Nearly all proposed to make reports to headquarters on “The Co-efficient of Salary Increase, As Related to Striking Out With Men on Bases,” “How to Avoid Defeat in a Pinch,” ‘Whether It Is Better to Substitute a Pitcher for the Champion Batsman if the Lat- ter Comes Up With Men on Bases,” and kindred topics. : In short, the reputation of Stone as a champion was just a mere fringe of its former self. One who didn’t know thought it Pather hard on the poor fel- low. Of course it was true that he hadn't won that particular battle; but then there were over 140 more to be played in which, if past, reputation be valuable fighter. This was evidently the idea of Duf- fey, the Free Lance, small, but dan- gerous when he unloosed his artillery of statistics. The cracking of caustic remarks had about died away. Now and then one sputtered like the dying pops of a Fourth of July pack of Chinese squibs. It was oné of these that roused the adder-like Duffy to let loose his vénom. Such Carel Language. “And,” continued the speaker, ‘‘not only did Stone fail today, but, despite on bases. He can no more bit in a pinch than Red Donohue, if you remember that worthy. He is one of thé poorest in the League to drive in runs.” to those trying to convince them- selves that the Browns have not {mproved over last year, that the St. Louis tear, although having played but seven out of 22 games scheduled with the White Sox, have already won with- in one of as many victories over that team as they did dufing the entire 1907 season. |" is a pecullar fact, or must seem so HE remark was duly indorsed by the brother correspondents until & \ittle Duffy spoke up. “What makes you say that?’ he in-/ quired mildly. “Facts are facts,”” was the reply. “Look at his record and see if I am right.’’ “That igs exactly what you have not done, evidently,’’ returned the small Mr. Duffy. “I had occasion to compile pre- cisely those statistics last year—that is to say, the ability to bat In runs of the various players of the Browns. Wallace, I found, ranked first of the team and Stone second. Now, you see how much your casual information amounts to. Stone’s hitting, it is true, does not score the same amount of runs in proportion to his average as doés that of several others. That, however, is because he so frequently uses his speed to get to first base with none on the bag. He is so fast he can beat out a slow tap. If you eliminate this class of safeties, you will nue.

He also offered to let Burns take two-thirds of the purse, win, lose or draw. Burns Posts Money, Too. Burns did not meet Johnson yesterday When he heard of Johnson's arrival he also visited a newspaper and posted $5000 to bind a match with the big hegro heavyweight. Burns insists that his share of the purse must be $30,000. He is not particu- lar about the side wager. There is hard- ly a chance that any club in England will guarantee Burns that amount. There is a possibility that a Paris syndicate may take a chance and offer Burns that amount, but Burns is of the opinion that the best offer will come from some club in the United States. Burns declared that it was almost certain that he would fight Johnson, es- pecially as the negro has crossed the Altiantic in order to challenge him.

. L CLEVELAND, O., April 28.—In cele- bration of the settlement of the traction % war, all Cleveland is today riding free. - At midnight the fare registers on all cars were Aiscennected and every man, ‘woman and child in Cleveland can ride free until the clocks again sound the ~ hour of midnight. '. The Municipal Traction Co., which me will hereafter operate all street cars, announces that “‘traction day’’ will be celebrated yearly in the same manner. Hereafter it will be April 27, for on that day traction peace was legally pro- claimed. ° : The Municipal company took over the £ competing lines at midnight. A. B. Du- pont, formerly of St. Louis and later of ~ Detroit, will have executive charge of * the operation of all lines. : Fare to Be Three Cents. Within 10 days 3-cent fares will be y put into effect. Within 90 days 3-cent * ares, with universal transfers, will be in effect on all lines inside the city lmits. + + #£hree-cent fares became a possibility a tonight at the regular meeting of the ' City Council, when a “security grant’ | Was passed under’ suspensior of the _ rules to the Cleveland Railway Co., a ' new corporation which took’ over the -. eonsolidated properties of the eld com- >> panies. » At the conclusion of the Council meet- * ing, that body, as a committee of the © whole, met the officials of the Cleve- ™ jJand Railway Co., the Cleveland Elec- * tric Railway Co., the Forest City Rail- ' way Co. and the Low Fare Railway _. Co. in the Chamber of Commerce, where © the final papers were signed and passed, ‘leasing the property of the °-eveland ’ Railway Co. to the Municipal Traction ; '€o., the holding company for 60 years. Seven Years’ War. > *) Thus ended the seven-year contest >) Se which has been waged here for low : P street railway fare. ™ To bring about the settlement today, according to previous agreement, the | Forest wity Railway Co. absorbed the = Low Fare Railway Co. The two com- eB “panies then were merged with the li i i i i ~ Cleveland Railway Co. ) OLD-TIME PREJUDICE AGAINST TALKING MACHINE IS DYING © Operatic Stars Sing for Disc Rec- ' ords and Make Converts for | “Canned _ Music.” : The old-time prejudice against the “talking machine has practically disap- “peared, and in late years the jeering ‘of the skeptics has been changed to "® admiration.
