TO AID THE RAILROADS Unless They Are Prosperous, untry Cannot Be, Smith Declares. Owen Miller, president of the Musi- cians’ Mutual Benefit Association, has stirred the women of the Charity Car- nival by a caustic letter in reply for a request for a permit for a member of the Musicians to furnish free music for the Carnival. Miss Mattie’ Flesh, of 4625 Lindell boulevard, made the request. She is secretary of the committee of prominent women promoting the German village concession. Mrs. Edward A. Faust, daughter of Adolphus Busch, is chair- man of the committee. Mr. Miller indited a long letter of reply in which he criticised: society women’s methods in promoting chari- ties. | Miller’s letter to Miss Flesh was fol- lowed by another from Secretary D. K. Howell of the musicians’ local or- ganization, stating that the board of directors had formalhy--refused-her re- quest for free musicians’ services and had also endorsed the views expressed by Mr. Miller in his letter.

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 2.—A new holiday has come to town. Here are the facts abput it: Date—Sunday, May 10. Name—Mothers’ day. Object—The honoring of the best mother who ever lived—your own. Observance—The wearing of a white carnation. The idea originated in Philadelphia, whence it spread to New York; and bids fair to become as widely observed as many more pretentious holidays. Mrs. William Cummings Storey, presi- dent of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, is enthusiastic about the new holiday. Mark Twain strongly commended the idea. “This is a — and a duty we have long neglected,” he said. “No thought could be more beautiful than that which prompts every man, woman and child to pay such a tribute to those dear ones to whom we owe so much. “I do not know how many anniver- saries of ‘Mothers’ day’ I will see, but on these that I have remaining I will wear a white carnation, the emblem of purity and mother love.” CYSTER COCKTAIL VULGAR DISH, SAYS AN EPICURE Bivalve Is Ruined by Sauce Thus Applied, Hotel Man Believes. NEW YORK, May 2.—There has been much discussion of late as to the merits of an oyster cocktail. An epicure who is also a professor at Yale was over- heard to say he considered the mixture an insult to anyone who had good taste in eating. When asked his opinion of the subject, Carl Berger of the Hotel Gotham said: “An oyster cocktail is a vulgar dish, Oysters should be served alone. If one insists upon a sauce he can call for it, a good oyster is onl~ ruined that BAILEY FIGHTS FOR HONORS Texas Democrats Voting on Dele- gates-at-Large. DALLAS , Tex., May 2~—Democrats of Texas are today choosing four dele- Sates-at-large and four alternates to the ver conventicn. The chief interest ju the contest cen- ters in the campaign waged by United States Senator Bailey, who is seeking finelection as a delegate-atlarge. The Opposition ticket is headed by Cone Miller deserved a more polite reply. She wrote it, she says, at the sug- gestion of Maxwell Goldman, piano player at the Jacob Mahler dancing acadeniy. “I asked Mr. Goldman to play the piano at the German Village theater,” Miss Flesh said Saturday, ‘‘and he told me he would be glad to do so free, but he belonged to the union. He suggested that I write to Mr. Miller and get free musicians for the con- cession. “As we are trying to make as much money for charity at the concession as we can, I tock Mr. Goldman’s ad- vice. freé musicians’ services last year and would do it again. Naturally, I was very much astonished to receive Mr. Miller’s reply.” Here is Mr. Miller’s letter: “My Dear Madam: Your favor with- out date in reference to tendering the services of musicians free for a. char- ity carnival, to hand. I shall lay that request before our Board of Directors.. Permit me, however, to express my personal views upon such questions, and that is, that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, there is more money foolishly expended for vanities in the shape of dress, jewels and decorations by the people who get up these af- fairs, than is ever realized for rea} charity. “The musicians who are asked to ren- der their services free of cost on this occasion are poor men who. support themselves and their families by their profession and in many cases have diffi- culty in doing so; especially during the present financial stringency. It is hard- ly right for wealthy people who can well afford to pay for such services—if they really want to do something for charity—to ask these men to donate their services free, and thus have that much less income for those dependent on them and who need the same badly. ‘“T have no doubt that Mr. Goldman would be very glad to tender his serv- ices, because he, no doubt, is shrewd enough to realize that the probabilities are that it would act as an advertise- ment for his benefit. It is easy enough for a leader to donate the services of others, for he will be repaid by the ad- vertising obtained from it. “I will state further I am satisfied our organization would rather donate the sum these musicians would cost than to donate their services free of cost. Refers Them to Glennon. “I would respectfully refer you to the lecture delivered by Archbishop John J. Glennon in Chicago on the twenty-second inst., wherein he says a grest deal that is applicable to the usual public advertising charity. Nev- ertheless, I sincerely wish your char- itable enterprise the greatest success. “T have the honor to remain respect- fully yours, “OWEN MILLER.” NAUGHTON GETS NO CLERKSHIP Leonard Gives Temporary Position to W.

The position is temporary and Dowling will receive $100 for indexing the pro- ceedings of the last session. The plan was to give the place to Danny Naugh- ton, former assistant clerk, but public- J thwarted it. Dowling is a brother of John Dowling, who formerly was a page in the House.

W. H’Ronish, a theatrical man, obtained a divorce from her to- day. H'Ronish introduced as evidence two letters from his wife. Both discussed at length the advisability, of a divorce between the two and in one letter the wife advised H’Ronish to ask a decree. In both letters the wife called H’Ronish ‘“‘dear,’’ and used other endearing terms. One read: Could Not Make Up Mind. “T have tried twice to make up my mind to live with you again, but I can’t, dear. The very “thought of it makes my blood run cold. “During the time we lived together can’t you see how repulsive your caress- es were to me? On reading your let- ters to me, one would think we were the best sweethearts in the world, . but in your heart, do you think we: have even been?” ; The letter congratulates H’Ronish Op going on the stage, and continues: “I am satisfied you will make a charm- ing villain, and if I had any intention of remaining on the stage, I ain sure I would make a hit working with you. Would Be Glad If Sorry. “You say you are to carry heavy parts. Are you going to push a traiff across the heroine’s neck, or will you rush in with heavy clubs and kill some. one? 1 know you could do that gracefully.” At the close of this letter Mrs. H’Ron- ish made this remarkable statement: “If I have done anything I am sorry for, I am giad of it.” POSSE KILLS HUNTED NEGRO Those of His Own.

LAKEWOOD, N. J., May 2—-The con- dition of former President Grover Cleve- land is now admitted to be exceedingly grave. There is no official confirmation o: denial of the report that he is suffer- ing from cancer. “Mr. Cleveland is a very sick man; that’s all I can say,” was the statement made to the representative of the Post- Dispatch by Dr. sosepn D. Bryant of New York. When a card was sent to Mrs. Cleve- jand: this morning asking her the con- dition of her husband, it was returned bearing the words: “Nothing to say.” Dr. Bryant spent all last night at. the hotel, and is still there. Dr. Bryant has been the Cleveland family physician for many years. He would not affirm or deny the report that his distinguished patient was af- flicted with a cancerous growth in ‘the stomach. The secrecy with which Mr. Cleve- land’s actual condition is being guard- ed lends an air of mystery to his ‘ll- ness. No local physician has been called into © consultation. Whatever medicines he is taking are being brought from New York, with the apparent pur- pose of preventing any imforrnation from becoming public as to the nature of the remedies or the kind ef iliness the composition might indicate. All Noise Shunned. The least noise seems to disturb the former President, and a special watch- man has been stationed on the hotel grounds, who' warns all persons, and especially vehicles, to avoid passing close to the wing in which are the rooms the Cleveland party occupy. Mrs. Cleveland keeps close to the rooms, and has not once during the It is said at he hotel that the ar- rangements, under way for several days past, for the removal of Mr. Cleveland to his home at Princeton have been suspended.

Lutz, then taken to Josephine Hospital at Grand avenue and Henrietta street, where she remained unconscious for several hours. No Bones Broken, Doctors Say. The physicians in attendance say Mrs. Wetzel is not seriously injured, and thet upon recovery from the shock her heaith will be restored. No bones were broken, Dr. Lutz said, Mrs. Wetzel, with a friend, was seeed- ing south on Grand avenue in her au- tomobile. As they neared Henrietta street a funeral procession appeared in front of them. The speed of the automobile was so great that it could not be stopped be- fore striking some carriage in the pro- cession if it held its course. Pitched Over Friends Head. The chauffeur swerevd the machine to one side, attempting to pass between the carriages in the procession and a wagon driven by Herman Rosenkranz. The machine struck the wagon with such force that Mrs. Wetzel was thrown from her seat over the head of her friend who was riding in the seat with her, and struck the asphalt pavement. She was carried onto the lawn at 1626 South Grand. avenue, where Dr. Lutz was summoned. ANGLER LANDS BIG TROUT WRAPPED IK A $5 BILL Catch and Cash Prize. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

During the hearing. of the facts in court Miss Nelson was compelled to make public the fact that both she and Bambrick were intoxicated and that the only thing she remembered of the cere- mony was that something unusual had happened, which did not impress her as being important. When Judge ‘McEIhinnev announced that the marriage was annulled in court Friday the newly made miss clapped her hands and exclaimed joyfully, for now she was freed of a hateful alliance and would return to her home with her maiden name restored and win bae'c the love of her sweetheart In Kentucky. Said love had received a*shock that would have to be tenderly nursed. ’ Father, Too, Agninat Her. But when she got to her home she found the door closed against her by her father, John Nelson, whose tndigna- tion broke bounds at the exposition of his daughter's conduct. . “I do. not know where she went or what ashe expects to do.'’ exclaimed the heart-broken mother. “Her father will not let her come back." Before leaving her home Miss Nelson told neighbors that she was going to Oregon to live. 4

Doctor Shows How Broken Leg Looks, Jurors Do the Rest.

An X-ray picture of the broken bones In his right leg won a lawsuit for Dr. Daniel G. Hochdoerfer and got him a verdict of $5000 against the United Rail- ways Co. at the trial Friday in the Circuit Court. Zachritz and Bass, at- torneys for the physician, handed ,the picture to the 12 — and they exam- ined it closely. . The ‘X-ray negative -was on glass, When it was held up to the Nght and looked through it was exactly as if the juror was looking strafght through the leg of Dr. Hochdoerfer. The bones | were plainly seen and where they had -been fractured and, had’ knit together egain there Were two lumps, one on each bone, After the jurors tad seen the picture they retired and were out only 15 min- utes when they returned into court with a verdict for $5000. | Dr. Hochdoerfer had sued for $20,000. He alleged that, as he was alighting from a car near his home at 3410 Calt- fornia avenue, Rhe car gave a sudden jerk and he was thrown down. He al- leged that the fracture caused one leg to be shorter than the other. There was considerable discussion and expert testimony before the jury as toa why a broken limb was nearly always shorter than the other after the bones had knit together. a It was contended by Judge Zachritz and 8. S. Bass,. Dr. Hochdoerfer’s counsel, that the knitting together pro- cess caused a lump, and when the at- torneys on the other side undertook to cast some doubt on this Judge Zachritz brought forth the X-ray picture.

Leaving all technical terms out of the ques- tion, there is reason to believe that electricity is actually measured in this town, not so much by any scientific process as by a monopolistic esti- mate of what the traffic will bear. Revelations made daily in the Post-Dispatch show that there ig no uniformity in rates and that many of the charges made are unreasonable. The people can correct these inequalities and put something like ordinary intelligibility into the bills rendered if they will co-operate with vigor. ENTERTAINING A WHELESS UNAW If Democracy had ever been aware of the Hon. Joseph Wheless’. presence in its midst it would now be torn with pangs at the desertion of this distinguished atriot who proclaims himself henceforward a Republican. - Even so, Demoeracy is duly and politely pained at its loss, though only now apprised of its former fortune and distinc- tion. To have entertained a Wheless unawares is a sore reflection, indeed, on the party's perspicacity. There is really a serious lesson to be drawn, a warning to be had, of this costly experience. No party can afford to let its great statesmen and born leaders get away from it. It hag been the Democratic party’s chief fault in-late years that it contented itself with too few leaders. Along with Cleveland and Bryan it ‘ ghould have discovered and developed Wheless. He was opposed to both wings of the party as represented by them, but both wings, recognizing ' his unique position as a Democrat, might have united upon him and followed him to a glorious and enduring destiny. i i i One or two other ” gubernatorial candidates 0. — — THMHE VERY LATEST IN TRUSTS. It is reported ‘from Washington that the great pine lumber combine recently: projected in St. Louis meets the approval of the President and } answers all of the requirements of a ‘‘good trust.” The proposed new conspiracy in restraint of trade contemplates the limitation of production, the creation of a big fund for purposes of admin- istration-and for the conservation of forests and —of course—the regulation of sales and the main- tenance of prices. In all of these respects save one the good new trust looks like and acts like any old bad trust:. The one exception is that it has enlisted in the movement for “the conserva- tion of the natural resources of the country.” If this great discovery had been made earlier what a lot of trouble would have been avoided! Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Armour and Mr. Baer have | not been oppressifig anybody. They have been “conserving” our gesgurces. If it had not been for their prudence, we would have consumed oil, beef and coal witha recklessness that would have bankrupted the cowntry. They have kept us also from the impairment of our eyesight, from the evils of gluttony and from the debilitating ef- fects of excessive heat. It makes all the difterence in the world how one looks at these matters. Organized to restrict production, to corner markets, to increase prices and to bully competitors, a trust is all bad. There is ‘no health in it. It is a flabby malefactor and it is undesirable. Its oldest son is a fool and its most beautiful daughter is a foreign princess. Created primarily to conserve the natural re- sources of the country, giving due attention to the skinning of consumers incidentally, it is good and the man who assails it is a socialist who is full of class consciousness and other intoxicants. The Post-Dispatch has had occasion more than once of late to refer to the stimulating ef- fect of St. Louis climate upon the mental facul- ties. It was St. Louis business men who per- ceived that the President’s violent messages were injuring business and they persuaded him to write in a lower key: It was St. Louis financiers who pictured the Aldrich currency bill in such hid+ eous colors that Congress turned upon- it in wrath. Now the. lumbermen of the South and Southwest, after a few days’ session here, not only solve the trust problem but they.come pretty near proving that there is no such problem. What wretched times we have had under pro- tection, government regulation, constructive jurisprudence, trust busting, class prejudice, rail- road rebating, bimetallism, monometallism, ex- pansion, benevolent assimilation. and naval growth, to be sure, when the only thing that we needed was a vigorous course in conservation. Conservation is-the word., Standard Oil does not monopolize, it conserves, petroleum. Harriman conserves railway systems. Schwab and Corey and Gary conserve steel. The huckster who throws a brick at a rival conserves the sidewalk where’ he holds forth. In the adaptation of means to ends St. Louis has gained a world-wide fame, and it is a fair inference that nowhere else on earthwould it have entered into the mind of man to marry the dilapidated trust principle to Old Conservation. The people of the United States are making a great mistake in continuing the seat of govern- ment at Washington. ae &.+. — ae ' HEARST’S NEW NATIONAL PARTY. appears on the Democratic horizon in the person of Mr. Hearst, whose National Independence par- ty (incorporated) is now ready for the presiden- tial campaign. That this organization will appear at the polls is practically certain, for Mr. Hearst, who owns it, accepts its nominations and writes its plat- forms, has already committed it against the Dem- ocrats and Republicans and all of their candi- dates. It is probable, therefore, that the opposi- tion to the Republicans this year will be divided among Democrats of two or three varieties, So- cialists, Independence Leaguers, Populists and Prohibitionists—a prospect that ought to be high- fices. - It was true for many years that,.in spite of the Republican party’s almost continuous success at the polls, it was actually in a minority. If all these personally conducted parties continue to grow, the same thing will be true for many years more. A minority party which can hold together has a good many advantages over a majority par- ty which goes to pieces. MAYOR BROWN OF LINCOLN, The Mayor of Lincoln, Neb.; Dr. Brown, has been in St. Louis expatiating upon the well known virtues of Mr. Bryan and, incidentally, saying a good word or two for Dr. Brown himself. It appears that there are 7000 voters in Lin- eoln, of whom, on the most liberal estimate, only 1300 can be classed &s Democrats. Notwithstand- ing the fact that Mr. Bryan is so highly esteemed in his home town, he never has been able to car- ry it at an election, whereas Dr. Brown has been twice victorious there as a candidate for Mayor. Perhaps it is tod late now to do anything worth while, but if we are to take Dr. Brown's word for it there is one Democrat in Lincoln who can be elected and he ought to have a vogue.at Denver. a i re The frightful predicament of an Ohioan, as relat- ed in a Columbus dispatch, will appeal to all int- tiated Missourians. The Ohioan’s wagon being rit dewn by a train, he grasped and hung to the tail of one of the mules he was driving, as a drowning man clutches at a straw. The mule, freed from the.wagon by the shock of the collis- ion, dragged the driver to safety. A true Missouri mule would have made a hole in the empyrean with him and then let go and kicked the locomo- tive back a — — 3— — Cannon will go before the Chicago con- vention not on a record of things done, but with % long list of things which he would not permit Congress to do. Democrats and Republicans alike are gathered in by Sexton Joseph.

The Church 1 Problem, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I ‘sge a great deal in the papers about why_people don’t go to church. Now, my opinion is that the people are tired of hearing these old sermons about the hereafter, when it is a positive fact that we don’t know anything whatever about the hereafter. When they are not talking about this they are talking about what happened thousands of years ago, and we know mighty little about that, too” If they would tell us how to live right under present conditions and convince a man that he is a fool if he don’t live right, and confine his remarks to reason and com- mon sense, I think the people would get interested and go to churenh. STA HOME. Soldan’s Successor, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The populace of St. Louis should protest at being ignored in the selection of a successor to the late Superintendent Soldan. Was it. not St. Louis that produced this eminent educator? Then why cannot it produce another? It was through the efforts of St. Loulg men that the present, superlative system 6f education was devised and. perfected, and St. Louis principals and ‘teachers should: receive‘ their share of eredit for one of the best: 86hool ‘Systems in the country. The late Superintendent Soldan was unsuccessful in his efforts to secure an assistant in the East, then wity go there or elsewhere for a su- perintendent? 3 8. LOUIS. To Aid a People’s Church, To the Editor ofthe Post-Dispatch: A hero by the name of ‘‘A: Pastor”. hag offered not only to carry a message to Garcia, but to continue to carry them for a term of years. Being a working man and living in the slum district, I cannot refrain (in behalf of the dwellers of. ‘‘Darkest St. Louis’’), from tendering him our grateful thanks and admira- tion. His must be vastly more than a talking faith, Knowing that money is needed for this- work and that every little helps, I offer this proposition: I will be one of one thousand to give $10 each (cash or installments) in order to show in a practical way our appreciation of his effort in our behalf. A. M. DAVIS, 306 Marion street. Rank Outsiders Get Big Places. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your short yet timely article in today’s issue re- garding™ Prof. Soldan’s successor is most excel- lent: I have spoken to several péople on this sub- ject, and the feeling is strong against even the idea of a committee to go hunting for a man outside of| St. Louis. This city has an abundance of brain and talent to draw from for a successor. If not, then the educational position we are supposed to hold ig ex- tremely false, and upon poor foundations. This hunt- tre for and bringing’ into prominent positions per- sons from the East is, however, no new scheme. Com- mercial houses have often done this, and it generally results in just this fact—later they find among their old help men vastly superior in every way to the man secured away from home. This is one thing strange and hag often been wondered at, when there is a good position of trust or responsibility to be filléd, a rank outsider néarly always gets it. A PUBLIC SCHOOL PATRON. Busido and International Marriage. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am positively an opponent to the international marriage. My opposition to the international mar- riage has no relation with either religions or races, but bases upon the importance of preserving the spirit of each nation. The spirit of a nation, “Bu- sido’’ in Japan, has not grown within a brief period; its birth was in the remote age of tens of hundreds. Since then it has been the shield for Japan, ruling the hearts’ of her subjects generation after génera- tion. “Busido” cannot be transmitted by the med- ium of written or spoken language, but it has been transferred in blood from the ancient to the present people. In the Japanese history from the establish- ment of the empire down to the coronation of the present Mikado, a long period extended Over 2513 years, it cannot be traeed that any of their fore- fathers ever married to a foreign woman, even to a Chinese or Corean who belonged to the same race, though relations among all the Mongolians were con- stantly close for religious, scientific and commercial matters. Contemplating the fact that a mother who was a foreigner by birth could never foster “Bu- sido” which had been born in the neart of her child, they positively tejected the matrimony with women of different race or nationality, leaving a precept for their posterity. We can.observe the same ex- ample with ancient Hindoos. During the past forty years, since the coronation of the present Mikado, many changes have been made in the customs -and manners in Japan, of which the matrimony with foreign women is the most striking one, it being the violation of the precept left by their forefathers. A number of the Japanese have already become the hnsbands of European or American women. I often é notice some loyal, patriotic and thoughtful subjects of Japan deeply lament upon such undesirable af- fairs, which may probably result in exterminating ‘‘Busido” from the country. But it should be re- membered that such a modernist as to marry a foreign woman has never been found in any of re- spectable, loyal families. I wish to say that no in- ternational marriage should be carried out unless there is no more spousal match found In his or her native land. Months ago the Rev. Dr. Robert Stuart McArthur of New York city delivered an address on “American Women and Foreign Titles,"’ in which he said: “That some of these marriages are true love matches is quite certain. Unfortunately there are other types of international matches. American girlg have sold their womanhood, their country, their language and their religion for husbands who are peculiarly contemptible cads and altogether worth- less.” This is a netrating opinion, I believe, and I should say that: e of the Japanese that marry to foreign women are sacrificing the glory of their country and the happiness of their posterity for their curiosity.

Although the team will be playing on foreign grounds, it is the general opinion of the fans here as well as the private opinion of Manager Mc- Aleer that the Browns will lose no ground in the race while on the East- ern trip. In that time they will meet York, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington. New York and Philadel- phia may be hard teams. for them to beat. One can hardly rate the East- ern teams until they have been put to the test against the strong clubs of 6 West; but it is the general opin- nm that New York will tumble when Cleveland, Detroit and _ St. — Louis turn their rapid-fire guns on ' that city. ’ At present New York is at the top, tearing off championship baseball day an day.

And when the Browns hit New York, the warfare will be deadly. Jimmy Wil- liams/ Danny Hoffman and Rube Wad- dell are going to make trouble for the Highlanders or kill themselves in the attempt. On the other hand, Griffith will have Niles, Hemphill and Glade, the three former Browns, who will go the limit to crush St. Louis. : | Crusinberry’s Comment on the Game | George Stone was practicing batting wp at Quincy, according to the re- ports of the battle.

That is where he lives, and just at present he _. $s not in shape to pitch, and has gone home for a few days of rest. Bill Dimneen is expected to do con- - giderable of the pitching for the Bruwns on the first Eastern trip. Before the year began McAleer had hardly expect- ed to carry Dinneen on this coming trip at all, not believing the big twirler “would be in condition for work before the return of the team about June 1 _ But Bill seems ready for work right pow, and of course will not remain idle, for there is plenty of work to be done. Rube Waddell announces that he “will be :eady to pitch the Sunday game — egainst the Champion Tigers if asked to do so. Rube always did have some- — thing baffiing to those slutgers from ‘> = ae a bik. a Detroit, and it seems quite certain that i Ooh win about four out of five from this summer. Bert Biue satisfied Manager Mce- “ith his catching of the exhibi- ton game up at Quincy, and the’ fans are likely to see this tall young man behind the bat out at Sportsman's most any day now. He would been in the game before this, but unfortunate in getting a sore arm on the training trip, and it has being in shape to help the Browns out any on the first Eastern trip that is to start a week from Sunday night. The absence of this strong utility man will, of course, injure the team a bit, not only if he is needed to play in the game, but because he is the best man McAleer has to put on the coaching lines during a game. et Dode Crias played first base in the ex- exhibition game up at Quincy and Man ager McAleer said today that he was convinced the big Texan was going to develop into a star at that position. He is a bit crude yet, having been a pitch- er all his life. His batting ability is sure to land him some place on the team. Ty Cobb, the great Detroit batter, was benched by Umpire O’Laugblin in the game there yesterday between De- troit and Chicago. Cobb seldom of- fends the umpires, but he seems to bave been strenuous in hie’protests this time. He tried to stretch a three-base hit into a home run and was nipped at the plate, the decision being a close one, George McBride, the former St. Louis boy, but now playing shortstop for Washington, was responsible for the beating of the Senators ty New York yesterday according to the re- ports. McBride is a grand fielder and this news is a little surprising. He has always been a trifle weak as a hitter, but could hold his own with many of them in the fielding end of the game. ~ — Sutton Wins Uphill Game. CHICAGO, May 2.—George Sutton of Chicago defeated Willie Hoppe, 500 to 368 tonight in the first block of .500 points at 18.2 billiards. Sutton'’s average was % 10-14, and Hoppe’s % 4-14.

CHICAGO, Iil., May 2:—During the idleness of the St. Louis and Chicago ball clubs yesterday because of the Jasty and chilly weather, Manager Mc- Closkey of the Cardinals made one final effort to land an infielder from the world’s champions. This time he went directly to President Murphy, but the “chubby owner’’ waived him off to Manager Chance. Then Manager Mac visited Chance and plead, but it was of no use. Chance informed him once and for all that not a single man from the Chicago club would be sold, traded or released. A double-header is now talked of for tomorrow to make up for the postpofe- ment of yesterday’s game. It will not be announced until this afternoon, but both Murphy and Robison think it will prove an added attraction for the Sun- day entertainment, and as Cleveland is booked to play over at Comiskey’s park, the West Side will need an added attraction to get its share of the pa- tronage. Ed Karger is —— to pitch the game today for St. Louis and Orvie Overall is slated for the Cubs. WEE WILLIE SUDHOFF DROPS BASEBALL, RETURNS HOME Former Star Pitcher Doesn’t Know Where He Belongs. Wee Willie Sudhoff, who of recent years has been bandied about the base- ball world until he is sick and tired of the game, is back in St. Louis, instead of with°*the Washington club, to which place he was supposed to have gone following his good showing for Louis- ville. Sudhoff not only is not with the Washington club, but after telegraph- ing to find out where he stood, Wee Willie has not even received a reply. It is believed that Washington will do nothing with Sudhoff until the National Commission passes upon a case of Sud- hoff's now before it. Sudhoff was fined $100 for “failing to report to the Kansas City club, follow- ing his retirement from the big league. This fine has never been paid... When Sudhoff signed with Louisville without having been released from his fine, at- tention was brought to the commission which is supposed to have the matter under. advisement as to Sudhoff’, fu- ture. Wee Willie started out in good form this year and his first game for Louls- ville gave promise that he would twirl at major league speed. QUINCY POUNDS BAILEY AND BROWNS ARE BEATEN The Browns returned from Quincy last night after taking a beating from the littie minor leaguers by a score of § to 8. Manager McAleer announced that a few bad mistakés by the Browns in the fatter part of the game threw it away. However the Quincy boys were hitting Bailey hard after the seventh inning. The game drew a big crowd, and it. was needless to say that the spectators were delighted. Quincy will have some- thing to talk about all summer and the Browns will eh ce ti the beating today. ree ea etal as oo May —— | — — He NEVER “won” ANY MEDALS. FoR Base RUNNING | a 5 NE has to die to be appreciated. that recognition. genius opening line of this bit of comment. Today the papers carry the story of an ‘innovation” ‘tried out by the Cubs in their’ practice work—a machine to polish up the players’ batting eyes and increase their averages in games. This machine is pneumatic. It can throw speed, curve and drop balls and the rapidity of delivery as well as the breadth of the ‘“‘break’’ can be gov- erned. The ball, with a little practice on the part of the artilleryman behind the “gun,’’ can be accurately placed at the batter’s weak spot. It's Ted Kennedy’s machine to the eyelash. It’s the invention with which he used to harry the busy moments of vain he argued, demonstrated and begged for a trial, the crystallized ideas of baseball entertained by managers of major league clubs today would admit of the introduction of no such new fan- gled schemes of training and practice and could conceive of nothing’as hav- ing a practical value except the hand- made article that comes from constant work, and progress that comes from experience. The Good Lives After Us. ERHAPS the managers were right, perhaps Ted; but in any case they all waited until Ted was dead before they stealthily try it out to find if, perhaps, there be some.merit in it after all. Perhaps it was the old prejudice of the hand workers against the machine-made that balked Kennedy's schemes. If it is merely that, then Kennedy is assured fame, though it be after death, for his whole system was a cut and dried ane for turning out first-class baseball play- ers by mechanics. At every possible stage of the game instruments for the special development of the players in special positions had been devised by him and the pneumatic batting practice gun was merely one of many. Kennedy’s theory in regard to the util- ity of this instrument was at least plausible. He based its main efficiency on the ability of the handler of this gun to contro! its speed. Thus, he sald, the batsman in practice could be educated to strike at balls hurled faster than any living pitcher could possibly fling them. The batsman’s eye, therefore, would be keyed up to the fastest delivery of any human pitcher; and the best speed would soon seem easy compared to what he had been hitting at in prac- meaning that the room of most of us is preferable to our company; but is usually a lifetime long, Thus, if the shade of Ted Kennedy, teammate of A. G. Spalding and other great baseball players on the old Forest City team, and himself a pitcher of renown, could read the morning papers, it would probably sigh ‘‘Amen’”’ to the Tteriof bets was brought up again when Robison, Hedges and other owners. In This remark is not to be construed as and then some, in earning constant trying, learn to hit it. All of which is theory, as yet. It re- mains for the Cubs to revise Kennedy's hobby and his pneumatic gun. The ex- periment of its utility in practice will be watched with interest. Having beaten the Browns, why does not Quincy apply to replace Washington in the American League? T About the Referee. HAT oft discussed and never set- tled question as to the province of the prizefight referee in the mat- the referee in the Attell-Sullivan fight on the coast declared all bets off be- cause, three days before the fight, At- telli;had agreed to let his opponent weigh in three pounds heavier than the arti- cles) of agreement called for. In this particular case the referee's | action, in the light of mere common | sense, was ridiculous. Doubtless the bets made on the fight were mostly ar- ranged after the weight had been chainged; and as this was no secret, but a matter of news that had been spread. broadcast, there could be no assump- tiom on the part of anybody that any- one was trying to cheat. Furthermore, the switch in weights affected the loser and had not the remotest bearing on the affair. Here in St. Louis, where Sullivan has many friends, the action of the referee in. declaring bets off caused consider- able embarrassment. However, most of the losers paid off regardless of the referee’s action, they being satisfied that if there was any “break’’ it had been in their faver instead of against them. In general the referee has no right whatever to interfere with the betting. His function relates merely to the pasas ing of his official verdict as to the win- ner or loser of the fight. The only rules governing the game today, the Marquis of Queensbury, cover the case exactly. These themselves do not take up the betting angle; but in connection they say: “All other points not herein con- sidered shall be as set forth in the Lon- don prize ring rules.” Referring te these we find an article which states: he “All wagers shall ge as the stake} + O a oa Yy’ S the percentages of the _leagues as they are and as they will be after vic- tory or defeat today.

HE sun seems about to set on one T of the most remarkable careers known to the world of sport—that of Jacob Schaefer, ‘‘wizard’’ of the cue for 35 years. Jake is suffering from stomach trouble and while not in any- thing like a moribund condition, his ability to run with the hunt for cham- pionships has been sadly impaired. So much so that George Sutton again gets the 18.1 balk-line title by default. This is the second time that Schaefer de- faulted this honor to Sutton, the other occasion being in Paris when he ar- rived with his money 24 hours after the time limit had expired. Sutton has now held the title thrice, without winning it once, forfeits covering his acquisi- tion of it in each instance. But Jake, the little marvel of the cue, has won his honors by hard work... Not only that but he blazed the trail that others now follow. It was Jake who brought the game up from a mere straight rai’ contest to ite present diffi- cult one of 18-inch balk, one shot in. Rail nurse, anchor nurse, balk-line nurse, all the finesse of the game Schaefer developed; and from time to time he astonished the world with his marvelous wizardry. We have our }Hoppes and other little lights of today who are doing well by following the footsteps of Jake; but even sickly as he hag for several years been, they have never been able to quite master then, but he has so far come back the old fellow. They beat him, now and often enough to show that the honors they We ere net empty end must be fought for. . Now it seems that this old guardian is about to lose his grip on the SHELTON WILL BOX KIRK AGAIN| Clever Missouri A. C. Fighters Wil: Renew Fistic Argunfent at Club Tonight.

DECLARED VOU Both He and She Have Mar- ried Again—Fight Over Child. — —— and EMINENT PHYSICIANS its situa ie « ACCEPTANCE WELL- -INFORMED, Though he has married a second time and his divorced wife has another hus- band, Claude D. Evans, charged with attempting to kidnap his 17-year-old daughter, Pearl, testified at his prelim- inary hearing in Madison that he has employed attorneys to bring about the annulment of the divorce so that he may regain possession of the child. If he wins the annulment suit there will be strange complications, as the subsequent marriages of both Evans and his former wife will be declared void and illegal. Evans would then have two wives and Carl Jones of Venice would have none. Held With Second Wife. Evans and his wife, Mollie, have been in Jail since Apri: 21, on a charge of trying to forcibly carry away Evans’ daughter, Pearl, f-om the Venice Pub- lic School. Pearl lives with her moth- er, Mrs. Carl Jones, who obtained a di- vorce from Evans in 1906, At their prelimifary hearing Thurs- day Evans and his wife were held for the grand jury, the husband's bond be- ing fixed at $500 and the wife's at $300. For attacking Miss Adeline Barnett, Pearl’s teacner, at the time the alleged attempt at kidnaping was made, Evans was fined $25 and he was fined the same amount for disturbing the peace of the school. Pearl testified against her father at the preliminary hearing. ‘‘He wanted me to go back to Oklahoma with him, but I wouldn't. And I wouldn’t kiss him, either,’’ she said. She told how her father and her step- mother drove to the school in a closed carriage and how her father picked her up and tried to carry her away after he had slipped a gold bracelet on her arm. BECAUSE ITS — — Nothing but Madan, the flavor thatVan Camp's gives to milk dishes comes solely from milk. Thousands of women ask this: | “Why does Van Camp’s, when used in my cooking, seem so much richer than milk?” — “What has been added? Why so delicious a flavor?” We add nothing at all Van Camp’s is nothing but milk —rich Holstein milk—with two- thirds the water evaporated. _ The results surprise you when you first cook with it. You never knew milk was so rich. But the trouble has been that you did not get the whole milk. Milk that. stands awhile sep- arates. Then from the top you get} one part, from the balance another. Sometimes you get the top milk, sometimes the middle, sometimes the bottom. And it’s all different. In Van Camp’s, for the first time, you get the whole milk as it comes from the cow. You get all of the butter fat, alf of the solids. When you learn what that means, you will never again use, milkman’s milk in your cooking. And you even save money by using Van Camp’s. It’s as thick as thick cream. So thick that you add one part water for for coffee.
