ne “the Russian Giant,”’ proprietor ‘of a bathhouse on West Olive street, accuses Chris J. Brock- miller, proprietor of a cigar store at 611 Chestnut street, of giving him the ‘‘dou- ble cross’’ and ‘‘welching’’ on a. bet, the profits of which would have amounted to $7980 if Skobel had got them. Skobel and his wife have brought suit against Brockmiller to recover the amount of a check for this sum, and $1680 additional, which they say they fea ir.te Brockmiller’s handbook game in the course of two years. This, they say, is not the whole sum they squan- dered on the races with Brockmiller’: assistance. Thetr attorney, Hiram N. Moore, ha: checks in sums all the way from $10 t« $500, alleged to have been paid to Brock- miller, and indorsed by him or his em- ployes, as evidence of the amounts played on the races and for the return 02 which they gue.

He says Brockmiller ‘‘welched’’ on pay- ing the bet. Brockmiller says the check was given to Skobel under duress, and that the Russian did not bet on the unorse that won the race, but on another. ‘“Skobel asited me to come to his bathhouse, March 27, tc talk the matter over,”’ he says. “I took a friend with When we got there Skobe!l and his wife and son were there to meet us.

Hed Hatchet and Revolver. “When we got down to business he produced a hatchet and a revolver, and then asked to give him approximately $8000 which he had lost on the races. I laughed at him, but ceased laughing when he picked up the revolver and told me he would get the money or I would not leave the place alive. "That was enough for me, and I de- cided to humor him. There was a Van- deventer Trust Co. check book lying on his desk, and I filled out a check for the amount he demanded and gave it to him.

Skobel denies that he used threats or force to make Brockmiller give him the check for the amount of the bet.

The inaccessibility of country people to other banks was another prime factor.”’ Lewis then went into a detailed ex- planation of his certified check sys- tem. When Judge Riner convened court counsel for Lewis introduced in evi- dence the permit of the Postmaster- General's office, granting the second- class mail privilege to the Woman's Farm Journal and the permit grant- ing the temporary second-class priv- tlege to ‘the Woman's Magazine, the magazines in which Lewis exploited the Peoples’ Bank. Over the persistent protest of the attorneys for the Government, a copy of the Woman's Magazine for July, 1904, was handed to each member of the jury, some parts of which had been read by the attorneys for the prosecution. Judge Riner was vexed at District At- torney Blodgett’s inquiry as to whether or not a recess would be taken by the court while the members of the jury were perusing the copy of the maga- zine. os } ged bs Pie con * oe ; erate pee My a - - > é Tye 3 * . ress, z ght oe ae - ‘a . : : is . ——3 tn : ‘ oP é4 Fe bah aed Fe 4 — - e 4 : Sa a oa ~ a 7 * oad . ‘ . = — i .. eG ; * Cane « ‘ _ : " " " ne iets. sO m ID ngs te 4 : 4 a ~ te ee -% . a ian: ee ae: 7 sal es “ ae se . . hie’.

ROMANCE IN JAMAICA —— eee Millionaire’s Son Fights for Liberty Before San Fran- cisco Court,

Robert W. Fullerton of 4569 West Pine boulevard is fighting for liberty in San Francisco. His attorneys have instituted habeas corpus proceedings to release him from thé-detectives sent out by District Agtorney Jerome in New York to bring the young St. Louisan back to answer charges brought by Miss Gladys Hobart of Yonkers. Judge Seawell took Fullerton’s case un- der advisement Tuesday afternoon, press dispatciies say, and will hand down a decision Thursday. The officers who arrested him testified that they did BO in due legal course, not by kidnap- ng. . At Cernell Together. A special telegram to the Post-Dis- patch from New York savs that Fuller- ton and Miss Mobart attended Cornel] Universiy together. She is blonde and attractive and the young St. Loulsan was attentice to her in Ithaca. It is said that after their graduation the young man returned to St. Louis, but cor- responded constantly with Miss Ho- bart, and had her meet him when he went to New York on his way to Ja- maica. The young woman went on board the steamship Trent to bid Fullerton good- by, and says he proposed marriage to her in the cabin. While they were talk- ing, it is said, the steamship moved off, and Fullerton quieted the young woman by assuring her the marriage ceremony would take place as soon as they reached Jamaica. During 10 days, it is alleged, Fuller- ton and Miss Hobart lived at the same hotel, while he pretended to search for a minister. At the end of that time, the young woman cabled to friends for money and returned home. S. H. Fullerton, the young man’s millionaire father, denied to a Post- Dispatch reporter Wednesday that he had gone to New York with an offer of a money settlement after he learned that Miss Hobart had told her story to Judge Beall of Yonkers. Press dispatches say that the elder Fullerton would not let his son marry Miss Hobart, but offeréd to pay her any sum she wanted. 3 Judge Started Inquiry. Judge Beall, whose sympathy was en- listed in the young woman’s behalf, employed detectives to find young Ful- lerton, and ‘instigated a grand jury investigation. , This resulted in the young St. Louis- an’s arrest Saturday night in Seattle, where he was in a branch office of his father’s lumber company. CAR VICTIM IDENTIFIED BY PUGILIST’S PICTURE Brother of. “Kid”. Coyne Is Struck and Seriously Injured on Cherokee Line. The picture of a prizefighter, found in the pocket of William Coyne, 4930 Lor- raine avenue after he was injured crit- fcally by a street car, was the means of his identification @ednesday. Attor- ney Frank Y. Gladney, a next-door neighbor, declared the picture to be that of ‘“‘Kid’’ Coyne, brother of the injured man and winner of an amateur prize- fight at the Missouri Athletic Club last week. : Visiting the City Hospital, Gladney identified Coyne. He is 28 years old. single and a Missouri Pacific Railroad clerk. He was going to lunch Tuesday when a Cherokee car hit him as he crossed Twelfth street at Chestnut street. He suffered a-fractured skull. His recoy- ery is doubtful, physicians say.

It is worth knowing that a change in tood can cure dyspepsia. “I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts f has cured me of indigestion. “I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recom- metided Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. “The whele family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit.” The reason this lady was hel by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required fo building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in per- fect worki order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous y re- sents the steam that drives the engine. When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by smal] children as well as adults. It fs perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

Co-operative and individual electric light and power plants are becoming popular as a protestation from the high and discriminating rates of the Union Electric Light & Power Co. Merchants and manufacturers in ane of the biggest blocks on Washington avenue have combined to put in a co- operative plant, which will supply pewer and light for a dozen big establishments that are now taking service from the Union Electric Light & Power Co. The leader in this plan is the largest wholesale house of its kind in the world, ana is now using 180 are lamps and thousands cf incandescent lamps. The contraét fir the plant will be let within the next two wecks, but until final de- tails have been arranged the promoters do not wish their identity to be known. The excessive rates of the Union El tric Light and Power Co. and constamnt- ly increasing bills are given. by the Washington avenue merchants as the reason why they have been forced to put in the co-operative plant.

' Hereafter when symptoms become manifest, the dread baseball scourge may be simply obviated by trying the Dr. McCloskey! - Not only did Captain Barry cross the breach with the two winning runs, but his trusty artillery battered down the defenses of the enemy and made way for his own entry.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PEORIA, Ii!., May 13.—Pending the outcome of the collapse of the original “Kid Farmer,’ who was knocked out in ‘the tenth round of a scheduled 10- round bout before the Peoria Athletic Club last night, by Jack Morgan of In- dianapolis, the Police Department has caused the arrest of the referee, man- agers and chief seconds. farmer is at the Proctor Hospital in a serious condition, but latest reports from the physicians in attendance were there was. a chance for recovery. “Farmer,” after being knocked out by Morgan after a minute’s fighting in the tenth round, arose, shook hands with Morgan and walked to his corner, where he collapsed and fell onto the ropes. The usual restoratives were applied, but failed to act, and, after the physi- cians had worked over him for min- utes, his heart nearly ceased beating and he was taken to the hospital ap- parently in what was supposed to be a dy Lr 9s condition. s thought that the blow delivered by Morgan was not the direct cause of his condition, but it followed a general collapse from over-exertion. Those held by the police are: James Ryan of Indianapolis, Referees Fred Cole and Thomas Carroll, Indianapolis; Cal Harris and Walter Parker,. Chicago ‘‘Farmer’s’’ name is Benjamin Frie- berg and his home is in Chicago. He suffered a similar collapse some time ago at Los Angeles, where, after fight- ing 20 rounds against Frank Mayfield, he collapsed and was in a state of semi- consciousness for several] hours. His brother, Ike Frieberg, was at the ringside last night. TWO MAT “BOUTS SCHEDULED Wassem and Engelbrecht Meet in Main Event Friday.

OAKLAND, Cal, May 13.--Al Kauf- man, the California heavyweight, was last night awarded the decision at the end of the sixth round over Joe Grim of Philadelphia, known as the “‘iron man of the prize ring.”’ It was a tame and rather uninteresting exhibition through- out. Kaufman landed whkaéves and wher- ever he pleased and the contest resolved itself into a question whether Grim would stay the scheduled six rounds. On the other hand, Grim scarcely land- ed a blow. He stalled at every oppor- tunity, kept in close and fought almost entirely on the defensive. Kaufman scored repeatedly on the face and body, but never being able to force his clumsy antagonist at arms length, found it impossible to land a blow with sufficient force to score a knockout. Last night’s fight signalized the re- turn of Kaufman into the ring after several months’ retirement. HERRERA APPEARS LIKE AN AMATEUR BEFORE FITZGERALD Mexican Is Easy Victim for East- . ~erner,, Who Scores Two Knockdowns, Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, Mass., May 13.—Willie Fitzgerald won an easy victory over Aurelio Herrera, the Mexican, at ‘the Armory Athletic Club last night. ‘Herrera acted as. if he had forgotten to fight and depended altogether on the chance of getting in a slumber punch with his famous right. The “Fighting Sharp” was wise to this game and used his left almost ex- clusively, and he did his Part so well that he put the “Greaser” to the floor twice in the eighth with well-judged and hard left hooks. Herrera was slow in getting started and even if he had been able to avoid punishment he would have lost on points; but he was.a badly battered man at the finish.

Browns Tm , TAILORED TO YOUR ORDER WITH King’s Concave Shoulder King’s Close-Fitting Collar .

Crusinberry’s Comment On the Game " Bill Graham is slated to pitch one of the Washington games. Manager McAleer doesn’t think the wildness of the young left hander shown in the Detroit ‘and Chicago games will last and is willing for’ him to work again at once.

Ed Spencer was hitting the ball fiercely. He whacked out three singles during the game and scored two of the runs. The ‘other time he went to bat he fanned out. Outfielder Milan came near. laying himself out cold while he was at bat in the fifth inning. He slammed flercely at a ball and hit it down to the plate. It rebounced sharply and struck him on the head and if big Ed Syencer had not caught him in, his arms, he would fallen to the ground after staggering about in a faint. Delehanty took his place at the bat and fanned. The Senators had two men on bases in the sixth with no one out and yet didn’t score. The first two men up singled and a sacrifice moved them to third and second. Cantillon then sig- nalled for the h* and run play, and Freeman, the man at third started home with Powell's windup. But Jack had speed and twist to the ball and the batter fanned and “Freeman was run down ending the inning. Charley Jones are Ollie Pickering were both outdoing themselves. Last season Jones was ‘vith Washington and Pick with the Browns, but the two managers traded even up during the winter. Pickering slammed out a hit in the fifth inning that brought in -the tying run but he flunked badly when he let a single get past him in right field. Charley Jones did some excellent fielding but fanned three times in his batting. Joe Cantillon says his team is badly crippled at present because of the ab- gence of Clymer and Delehanty. Both are recovering from injuries. The Browns will play three more games with the Senators and then move up to Philadelphia. Manager McAleer expects to take two of the three re- maining games.

Browns and found it hard. sweeping. avalanche of base hits. But it. was a desperate battle. St. Louis licked Washington because it Stood the grind better. It was the ninth inning before the lowly Senators acknowledged defeat, up ‘to that time their fight being stubborn. Possiblye Jack Powell was hit a trifle hard, but many of the numerous swats o1 the Senators were wasted, for they brought no results. Big Jack was splen- did in tight places and crawled out of several holes with the ease and grace of a master ¢wirler. Charley Smith, one of Cantillon’s tall twirlers, was slammed without / mercy. The St. Louisans banged out 15 safe drives. Everyone got at least one hit. They were hitting the speedy curves of the Washington man squarely, and only remarkable fielding by the Sen- ators in spots prevented the St. Loulsans from running up a heavy count. Praise’ for Browns. Nearly ev eryone here said the Browns looked like the strongest club that has been here this year. This means that the Browns appeared stronger than New York, Philadelphia or Boston. Washington started off in the game briskly. A streaming double by Milan, the first batter for the locals, was wast- ed because he tried to make it a triple, and the strong arms of Charley Jones and Jimmy Williams nailed the runner at third base. But this drive was fol- lowed by another by Ganley, who sent the ball screeching over Hoffman's head for three bags. Pickering slapped one sharply to Williams, who batted it down and recovered in time to nail Pick first, but Ganley got across the rub- be?. Altizer ended the inning with a fly ball to Stone. It was the fifth inning before Aheir bats struck the winning swing. Wallace opened the game with a nice drive to left. Ferris rolled a neat sacrifice and Tom Jones biffed safely to center for a single, bringing Bobby home. When Street missed the throw to the _ plate, Tom Jones raced on to second. Spencer’s Hit Scored Run. Spencer's whack to right brought Tom home, and once more Street missed a throw to the plate and Spencer got to

Ee enn HEAR ROOSEVELT HY CONGRESS ON WATERWAYS: If They Don’t - .Perpetuate Commission, He Says He Will Do It.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, May §$ 13.—Standing in the East Room of the White House, with his Cabinet sitting on his right and Vice-President Fairbanks and the Su- preme Court Justices on his left, Pres- ident Roosevelt today issued public de- fiance to Congress to thwart his inter- nal waterways plan. If Congress would not do what he asked, he said he would do it anyway without Congress. Before him sat 100 senators and rep- resentatives, 40 governors and several hundred leading business men. The congressmen received the defiance in si- lence, but the others present greeted it with handclapping and cheers last- ing three minutes. The defiance came as an interlude in the Presideht’s address openinjy the conference of governors on conservation of national resources. Plain Talk for Congress, He was talking about the work of the Inland Waterways Commission. “There are many mempers of the co-ordinate branch present, and I want to say right here;’’ he said, ‘that I have asked Congress to pass some simple bill appropriating a small sum of money to perpetuate this commis- sion. ‘“T hope Congress will perpetuate the commission, but if it does not, I want to tell you that I shall perpetuate it anyway, without Congress.”’ The President started to go on, but cheets stopped him. Y*Shen they ceased, he said: “The commission shall be much more effective if Congress perpetuates it, but I ‘shall perpetuate it anyway, and it will do the best it can.” He followed this with a declaration that Gifford Pinchet, the Chief Forest- er, had made the conference of gover- nors possible, and that the country was deeply indebted to nim. Pinchot Won Conflict. This was another shot at Congress, and particularly the Senate, where for & week past Western senators have been scoring Mr. Pinchot “in a vain at- tempt to cut down the appropriations for his*work, this opposition being led by Senator Dixon of Montana. Pinchot’s supporters won a doubled appropriation for $14,000,000, instead of cutting it under $500,000, as the op- position attempted. “There were a lot of angry sentters and representatives tnat left the White House after the address,’ said a Sena- ter friendly to the President. ‘They did not like that defiance a bit.” Jests With Bryan. President Roosevelt had his joke with William J. Bryan at the banquet to the governors, preceding today’s open- ST.LOUIS, MO,, CONVALESCENTS NEED VINOL It Hastens Recovery by Creating Strength.

ing of the conservation conference, and Mr. Bryan joined in the laugh. As the President greeted Mr. Bryan before the guests sat down to the table, he said: “I am delighted to welcome you to the White House, Mr. Bryan. Look around and see how you like it.’’ “Thank you, I'll do that,’’ replied Mr. Bryan. After the banquet, some of the gov- ernors took the opportunity to express their sentiments on the decision in the Minnesota rajlroad rate case, which was considered a severe blow to State rail- road legislation. Justice Harlan, who wrote a strong dissenting opinion; was present, and several governors congrat- ulated him on his opinion. Leaders Walk Together. After the banquet Gov. Folk, . Gov. Johnson of Minnesota and Mr. Bryan walked together from the White House to the New Willard. At the New Willard Hotel, after the banquet, Gov. Hughes was being con- gratulated on his victory in the race. track gambling election of the aay. An- drew Carnegie shook the Governor's hand and said: ‘I'm greatly pleased. I shall not sleep so well tonight for the pleasure of your victory. I'd invite the crowd down to take a drink, but of course, none of you would go.”’ “You'd be surprised how many of us would join you,”’ replied Gov. Hughes. Mr. Carnegie shook hands hurriedly, dodged into an elevator and went to his | rooms. Public Men There, The conference of governors and noted public men, called to consider the con- servation of the nation’s resources and other important national topics, met in the East Room of the White House to- day. Representing the Federal Government were President Roosevelt, Vice-Presi- dent Fairbanks, the Cabinet, justices of the United States Supreme Court. Members of both houses of Congress |- were represented by their governors and conferees appointed by them. The industries were represented by Andrew Carnegie, the ironmaster; James J. Hill, the genius of railway expan- sion, John Mitchell, the labor leader and Dr. I. C. White, State geologist of West Virginia and perhaps the lead- ing expert on coal in the United States. Bryan and Gray There. The guests included three possible Democratic presidential candidates— William Jennings Bryan, Judge George Gray of Delaware and Gov. John A. Johnsen of Minnesota. The subjects to be considered include the use'and conservation of mineral re- sources, resources of the land and re- sources of the waters. The conference is the outgrowth of the recommendation of the interna- tional and waterways conventions te the President. The conference was opened by the President with an address on ‘“Con- servation as a National Duty.” The program for the day included addresses by Andrew Carnegie on ‘Ore and Relat- ed Minerals,’’ and by Geologist White, on “‘Mineral Fuels.’’ John Mitchell led the general discussion on coal mining. Big Map Displayed. Along the east wall of the East Room was placed a combined framework and platform 52 feet long and 19 feet high. This was artistically covered with green velvet, trimmed with gold rope. This framework afforded a setting for two giant maps of the United States, each colored to show the resources of the country. The governors occupied the seats of honor just in front of the platform. The other conferees and delegates were seat- ed in the order of their arrival at the meeting. Other Subjects Up. Friday afternoon subjects not con- nected with conservation will be dis- cussed. These include a plan for a universal divorce law, classification of offenses for which a decree may be granted, and the sim- plication of methods of procedure; a plan for extradition of criminals from one State to another upon telegraphic demands by governors; a plan for a universal agreement regarding treat- ment of tuberculosis in cattle; a plan for the care and segregation of con- sumptives, and a plan for the better Supervision and observance of quar- antine regulations. From now until May 15 the White House will be closed - the public. Only seven governors were absent when this morning's session was called to order—those of California, —" on, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tex- ennessee and Florida.

A coupon will appear in next Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. Each coupon will be good, at your grocery store, for a ten-cent can of the Milk. We will pay the grocer ourselves for it. We want you to know how much you ) “re losing —you who use milkman’s milk, We want you to know what pure milk means. So we shall let two hundred thousand women try it at our expense. Use it for cooking; use it in coffee ; let your children drink it. Learn, for your own sake, the rich- ness of this milk. Then decide for yourself about going back to the milkman. From Inspected Cows We have dairies in five states now— each in a dairying section. We milk 20,000 Holstein cows, Each cow is inspected. So are the men who milk them. No chance is left for infection. Our dairies are sanitary. We make a business of cleanliness. Our factories, where the milk is evap- orated, are built without wood. They are cleaner than any kitchen. Then the milk is sterilized, so that not a germ of any kind can remain in it. The sealed can keeps for years.

What do you know of your milkman’s “milk? Dr. Morse says that two-thirds the mortality of children is due to germ-in- fected milk. . So he supplies Van Camp’s Milk to immigrant babies landing in New York. Don’t you wish to be as careful of your children, and of yourself? Don’t let mistaken ideas interfere— this means much to you in the future. Use the coupon in next Sunday’s Dis-— patch and let us prove what we say. Not Condensed Milk Van Camp’s is not like condensed milk, which is half sugar. You can’t use condensed milk for cooking. Van Camp’s is nothing but milk— rich Holstein milk—with two-thirds the water evaporated. Nothing is altered, nothing is added ; no sugar, no starch, no preservative. We simply evaporate two-thirds of the water. And you, when you use it, put the water back. As this milk enters into interstate commerce, the Federal Pure Food Laws protect you. And Uncle Sam’s Laws are strict. A Cow in Your Kitchen - Van Camp’s means a cow in your - kitchen. Rich milk or cream—little or much—as you want it. No waiting for the milkman—no short- age, no waste. You open a can when you want it, and it keeps till you use it up. Please think what that means. How often do you go without a milk dish because you haven’t the milk? How often do you throw some milk away, or let it sour, because you have too much? You will never again depend on your milkman, after you know Van Camp’s. If this was just advertising talk we would not dare put it to the proof by buying you a can to try at our expense. Van Camp’s Is Economical It’s as thick as thick cream. So thick that you add one part water for coffee. Yet it costs but half what you pay your milkman for cream. bd se Add two parts water and you have rich milk. The cost per quart is about what — your milkman charges. The cost per week is far less, | For you have no waste. The saving in a year is enormous. , For Cooking Watch for the coupon next Sunday and let us prove what we say, by an actual test of our milk. é Use Van Camp’s once in milk dish. Or use it in Note the delicious flavor Bergen Ns “a That flavor will be a surprise to you, — You will wonder what we have added to ts 4 i make it so good. But we add nothing at all. Van Camp’s is the whole, rich just as it comes from the cow. All of the butter fat, all of the solids are in it, Your milkman’s milk is not. The butter fat rises, the solids f Sometimes you get the mile! the can, sometimes the mine times the bottom.. And it’s all d Then what butter fat potas skimmed off before the goes i cooking.

A well-managed public service corporation, @ven though a greedy one, would be wise enough Discrimination in such matters is both illegal and dangerous. The Post-Dispatch has submitted an abundance of evidence showing that the Union Electric Light and Power Co.’s policy in dealing with the pub- lic by whose favor it exists is capricious and arbi- trary. It is a law unto itself. It selects one con- sumer for favor and it designates another for oppression. Some of its business is done at or near cost and a great deal of it is done at prices yielding an exorbitant profit. Monopoly in itself is an offense, but these dis- criminations, the fruits of monopoly, are equally offensive and unlawful. A public service com- pany which feared tHe laws against monopoly in restraint of trade would not so boldly adopt the ‘policies that make monopolies hateful and soon 161, 477 252,459

.. Or late lead to their downfall. Tie Post-Dispatch has shown, amcng other things, that the-Union company makes rates for electricity ranging from 12-3 cents to 12 cents These rates are not based upon consumption in all cases, but upon other _eonsiderations, such as a threat to install a private plant or plain favoritishh. No argument should be required anywhere to establish the fact that this system is oppressive and illegal. There are two indictments against the Union It is a participant in a trust. It does not maintain reasonable and uniform rates. It violates the law in respect of eombinations and it boldly conducts its business ‘th defiance of the well-sustained principle that public service corporations must deal equitably with their customers.

ST. LOUIS Lavohe WIth THE PRESIDENT. St. Louis bankers have fad so much success at the White House that the mercantile interest now enlisted in the prosperity movement naturally concentrated its efforts in that quarter also. When the bankers-appeared before the Presi- dent in March to urge moderation in the tone of his messages, they said many fine things to him, but at the end of their address they inserted this stinger: No great good has been accompliahéd in any times without some suffering: in conseqtience, but we now urge you to consider with extreme patience the unusual conditions that prevail, and, while abandoning no expressed principle, to ad- just your éxecutive actions to the requirements of this period of business timidity. The adjustment followed presently in the form of a message from which were omitted the scin- tillations that had given Business a great pain. Now the St. Lotiis Prosperity Association appears upon the scene and, after addressing the Presi- dent in language at once appreciative and court- ly, gains his approval of the sunshine movement and his most cordial indorsement of its objects. The St. Louis advance agents of Prosperity summed up their wishes in the modest expression that the time had arrived to call a halt upon radical, hasty and. experimental legislation. de- signed to regulate industry. What they got in reply was a statement to the effect that neces- sary reforms in progress and in prospect were no excuse for agitation, excitement, demagogy or alarm and that the President was as much in fa- vor of Prosperity as anybody else. It is possible, of course, that Mr. Roosevelt may be heard from again in a violent way, but if St. Louis cannot hold him nobody can. Its substantial business men have now made three notable journeys to Washington and thereby have set an example which should be emulated else- where. If they have addressed themselves chiefly to the President, the explanation is to be found in the fact that the President of late has been the functionary who has been oe things and do- ing things. Washington is left too much to the politicians and schemers. The St. Louis idea fs that men of affairs, with no axes to grind and with the good of the country at heart, should not hesitate: to go there and speak their minds. Much good: has come of it. More good will come of it. The wisest and best of men cannot help prof- iting by the counsel of worthy representatives of the business interests of a land so extensive as this, but if finance, commerce and industry raise no voice against the self-seeker and the demagogue, how shall they be heard? There is no reason to doubt the Presidetit’s good intentions. If honest business would, as in the case of St. Louis, be at greater pains to let him know its needs and not leave him wholly. to the sinister influences-of theorists and politicians, it would have less occasion to complain of his somewhat sensational practices. ———— ign¢-4-——. —-- Liat FOLE’S CHANCES AT DENVER. They are talking at Chicago of Gov. Folk as a compromise candidate at Denver. From the standpoint of practical paercs that is.a good way to talk. If Mr. Bryan should fail to secure a two-thirds vote and thus lose the nomination, ought his friends bolt and nominate him anrway, or should they go into council with his opponents to see if they could not agree upon another man? As to Mr. Bryan and Gov. Johnson themselves, both failing of the nomination in regular form; should they promote faction or should they exert their influence in behalf of harmony? Among reasona- ble Democrats these questions will answer them- selves. If in its wisdom the convention should turn to a third man, it could not do better than to nomi- nate Gov. Folk. He has many of the qualifica- tions which have been noted in Gov. Johnson and he has one distinction which the Minnesota aspirant does not have. Gov. Folk {s a Southern man, born and bred, who has made a name for himself in the greatest of the transmississipoi states. It is possible that Mr. Bryan would prefer him to any other. They are close personal friends and there has not been any suspicion of rivalry between them, The unhappy experience of 1904 shows the futility of nominating a man who is not personally agreeable to Mr. Bryan. There can be no doubt that if Mr. Bryan cannot secure the honor’ for himself he will look with much favor upon the distinguished Governor of Mis- souri. Gov. Jobipeon has said‘all along that he had no ambitions that conflicted with his party’s wel- fare. Great things may be accomplished at Den- ver if all candidates and delegates regulate their words and deeds by the same admirable spirit. 1. = * . 4 VAN CLEAVE AND SIMMONS. When Mr. Van Cleave of St. Louis talks about the President as “a man who would jar a brass monkey,” he uses unparliamentary lan- guage which will be repudiated here. Mr. Roose- velt will, kindly bear in mind the fact that the true St. Louisan is a diplomatic person who does not go at things with a meat ax but uses language with circumspection and precision. If the President gains the idea that Mr. Van Cleave voices a ‘considerable public sentiment in

Untidy Tidiness in Shops. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is so extremely objectionable to so many women to have gum-chewing, fingernail-cleaning women wait upon them in the shops that I am surprised a protest has not come to you long before this. The bad habits have crept into our best placés of laté, and a friend of the writer of this communication saw a girl at a candy department use the scissors for manicuring purposes. The columns of newspapers have been the means of other reforms. Perhaps the suggestion from you will correct this indignity to which women of re- finement are now subjected. G. C. M.

Ward Ccntro!. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I noticed an article in one of our daily p: irers that Mr. Miles and Mr. Howe controlled certain wards in our city. Is it possible that in the present age of en- lightenment that any politician can control the votes of any ward? It is to be hoped that party politics, either Democratic or Républican, will not influence the thinking people to be led by professional politi- clans. Ward politicians have been a menace to good government, and I believe, with the aid of the Post- Dispatch in the péoplée’s behalf, much good can be done in our eity in the way of eliminating the influence of this evil element.

The Hobo. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The hobo is the man who handles the pick, shovel and scraper on thé construction work for the railroad and Government ¢ontractors who build the new lines of railroad and public levees which protect the rich bottom lands from everfiew, as well as the work of protecting the banks of our great rivers from being washed away by the swift and ever-changing cur- rents, and is a very important factor in all that class of improvements. When out of funds he applies to the labor agent, who furnishes him transportation out to a contractor who ig in need of laborers, where he works one, two or three weeks (seldom longer), gets his pay, jumps onto a freight train and returns to town to spend his hard-earned money and enjoy the fruits of his labor, usually in patronizing the barrel heusés, after which he returns to the labor agent and applies for another job. Contractors universally re- port that they can very seldom keep them more than two or three weeks at a time, and are constantly looking for new men, These are the men who form Mr. James E. How's “Welfare Association,’’ which passes voluminous resolutions asking the Government to appropriate millions of dollars to provide work for them. How much sympathy are they entitled to? A. B. NORTON. ee ee eee A Good Wife and Mother. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While the Goulds and Vanderbilts are disentegrat- ing and the heiresses are seeking counts and princes, and the Sensibles and Broadway Gays are expecting connublal bliss, perhaps a view of a West Kentucky union on the basic principle might aid them. Here is a copy of a letter recently received by me which explaingitself: ‘“Your letter came, much to my gratifi- ag the sunshine from total darkness. The light and joy of my house have gone out. The reigning queen of the home, the pride of my life, the comfort of my earthly pilgrimage, has been taken from me and my heart is left desolate. No man ever had a truer or more devoted wife. Never for one hour had I ever been made unhappy by domestic troubles, but our path- way had been a continuous sunshine of domestic felicity. She made home so attractive to me it has always been the .sweetegt place on earth, for here I could find comfort and composure when I could find it nowhere else. My children have lost the most valued friend earth can give and those delicate and sensitive chords in their nature so essential to be cultivated can never be reached by any but the gentle and kind spirit of a good mother. She knew ighe possessed the warmest affection of my nature and I delighted to love and cherish her. I have thought I loved her too much, but when I remember that Christ commands us to love eur wives as he loved the church, I conclude not.” Mayfield, Ky. READER. An Editorial Mystery, To the Editor of the Pogt-Dispatch. Were it not for the Post-Dispatch we would never increase in knowledge, though I know that the ed- itor must be baldheaded from the strain of impart- ing valuable information-upon every subject under the canopy of heaven! Now I want to join the rocession and ask what is the meaning of hat brain-splitting, nerve-racking, Alood-curdling and diabolical word “unavailable? You write a story for a magazine that “wants stories of human interest.” A story founded on reality, a story perhaps of @ brave and noble character that, ‘under trials and adversity, still reaches upward and conquers at last; a story that teaches a lesson of untiring patience and Spartan courage. Your heart beats in sympathy as you write it, and you take your last nickel for postage stamps and send it off with a thrill of pride. Lil@ the vagrant cat, it ‘‘comes back’ with “unavailable” glaring at you from the stereo- typed rejection slip which you thrust in the fire un- read.

a ANOTHER COLONIZATION SCHEME. | The effort to get all the people of one kind into one place has been re- sumed with the founding of Bromide, Ok. Bromide is for the bromides. It is the intention to attract all persons who never say an origina) thing. The city has been carefully laid out. Bryan and Beveridge boulevards are egch a mile long and 100 yards from curb to curb. Platitude Place has been designed with a view to an ornate exclusiveness. Fair- banks Field has been set apart for athletes. Howells Hollow is reserved for park uses. Hobson Hill is a fine resiaence height. Cortelyou Court is a plaza in the center of the town. Taft Terrace is a residence street protected by severe restrictions. Hitherto the colonization scheme has invariably: failed. This has probably been due to the rarity of persons of the kind it was sought to assemble. Bro- mide has a great advantage in this respect. It should succeed. There are plenty of bromides. FORDWARNED. If it is true that all the frult Was killed about the first, The summer boarder may as well Resign him to the worst.

The discovery thatthe tariff imposes a 40 per cent ad valorem duty upon im- ported mushrooms emphasizes the folly of suspecting the purity of all fortunes of unknown origin. We have a habit of going through a beautiful’ residence district asking: “Where did they get it?’ There are always so many families we never heard of, or the source of whose wealth is what, with a shrug of the shoulders, we call ‘‘mysterious.”’ Some years ago we were deservedly re- buked by sofme of these people. They made a showdown. They made it in squabs. Not a cent of it was tainted. The worst there was on any of it was the musty smell of the crowded loft. After that rout We were for a time very cautious. But time emboldened us, and it was only last Sunday that we went past the mansions of the rich ask- ing, as of old, and with all its insiduous implications, “Where did they get it?” Let us look sharp. They probably made it in mushrooms. We didn’t know about the 4 per cent duty when wea laughed at the story of the man who paid for his farm in six months with mushrooms. We didn’t know to what

THE SHOW BOAT. A SEA-PORT has its shipping, and its sea-dogs quaint and brown, And it has the thrill and flavor of the sea; But it’s nowhere for excitement like a little river town With a show boat and a steam caliope. That’s the daisy place for thrills, when the music floods the hills, And the fancy steam pianist does a few left-handed trills On the wheezing, sneezing spinnet, with a pressure fit to drown Either Soysa or Caruso, when the show boat comes to town. There’s a painted anaconda twisted all around a tree, And a lion shaking desert with his roar; , And the hooting and the tootihg of the old — Make it very realistic on the shore. That’s the proper sort of noise to bring women, men and boys From the kitchen, and the furrow, and the fun of children’s toys, All a-quiver to the river, O, that shrill and blessed sound! In a scurry and a hurry, when the show boat comes to town. There are echoes ricocheting from the everlasting rocks, And the merchant dashes wildly from his store; There are lazy loafers flying from the whittled cracker box, And the housewife comes a-sailing from her door. That’s the way to stir a town up—Hoot-toot-toot! Hoot-toot-toot! With the man behind the keyboard hitting each note on the snoot, And the steaming organ screaming till the boys jump up and down All delighted and excited, when the show boat comes to town. You can talk of Paderewski as a man to box the keys, And he may be just as good as he can be; But he likely lacks the genius of the fellow who can tease The key-board_of a steam caliope. There’s a born musician for you—Hoot-toot-toot! Hoot -toot-toot! Blowing 90 pounds of pressure through a rusty iron flute, And the screeching thing beseeching all the hearing world around To come flying and a-sighing, when the show boat tomes to town.

exorbitant lengths the Repuplican iets has gone to nourish truffle culture and encourage toadstool farms when we pooh-poohed the tale of what one boy did to the mortgage on the old home- stead raising fungi in a cave. The truth is that there is an infinite variety of ways to “get it."" Many of these we no more wot of now than a a few years ago we wotted of squab fortunes, or even yesterday we wotted of mushroom millions. Suppose we re- member this, and quit asking, “Where did they get !t?’’ in that tone which im- plies that they stole it.

Today's Fads for the Post-Dispatch BY DIANE DE MORIGNY. HY is a woman? W Never since the good old Garden of Eden days was there a better time to ask this question. Why—why—oh, why is she? Why is she circus-hatted? Why is she wasp-walisted? Why is she peg-footed? Why has she a rope-walk of hair? Why does she wear her head on a lot of whalebone spiles? : And why is she and does she all these things at once? } Was there ever a more miscellaneous- looking freak, a more mixed-up, slam- in-the-face for everything comfortingly hygienic, a richer ragout of lovely and gorgeous contradictions? Big hats and little feet! Fourteen yards of hair puffs and 14 inches of waist! Monster exag- geration in one place and tiny infinitesf- malization in the other! That's the fash- fonable, frivolous, fol-de-rol dame of 1908. Take a guess at her as she stands and tell us the answer if you can. There isn’t a sane man—or woman for that matter—this side of Zululand, who wouldn't sooner eat a whole Merry Widow hat with hollandaise sauce on it than try to explain why the sex does such outlandish things for fashion’s sake as it is doing now.

Some women will have to peel In Paris they say fashion- able women are going without undergarments to gain the effect of clinging drapery in their costumes. It is strange that woman has to make so many sided a hyperbole of herself to be attractive. And the question keeps on ringing in our eaps—Why does she do it? The craze for slim figures was started by a young actress called Polaire, who is the momentary sensation of Paris, as she is able by some unknown means to squeeze her waist down to the circumference of her dog’s collar.

But she has an extraordinary Her enormous turned-up hats, her short hair, tied with a bow at the side, her rather long feet in pointed shoes and very high heels, always attract attention. And presumably that is what the women want to do who follow her lead in matters of fashion. The fashians of today are curious. Sometimes they are more or less _ridicu- lous, and the anxiety, confusion and embarrassment caused by the big hats have begun to furnish a regular topic of conversation, like the bad weather. The woman who tries to jam through one of the new car doors with a 40- finch hat surmounted by a spreading aigrette never forgets the occurrence, nor the picture that she presented when she caught a glimpse of herself in the glass with her hat and all her hair on one side. +. hfair goes, too.

Besides that, with the modern high collar, held up with feather bones as rigid almost as steel traps, the faghion- able girl looks as if she were prepar- ing by slow stages for the gallows. But the logic of fashion is here plainly shown. How could she hold up that hat un- less she had something to hold up her neck? And being perfectly uncomfortable in the upper regions, why not suffer cor. respondingly in the waist and in the toes, thereby making a harmonious whale? With all this discomfort she has added one more ill or rather a long list of ills to her much tried frame. For she is dressing now as if it were the height of Summer, at least as far as under- garments go, and as if she lived in a nice tropical country, inhabited by pleas- ant Botticelli pagans in diaphanous lingerie and not in a chilly and change- able place, where every other advertise- ment sign points to all-wool and all-kxit underclothing* Not that she does this from choice, but it Is so necessary to be thin, and it's so much easier to take off jAclothes than flesh, that she does with- out the superfiuous petticoat instead of going without the superfluous lob- ster salad.

HEN Hosuijoshi, a pretty maid W of Japan, wanted a “husband the. other day, she did mot let concealment feed on her damask ckeek. That would be such a foolish thing to do, for it would qnly spoil her charms withotit advancing her desires toward their goal. So she boldly proclaimed her ambition in the local newspapers, thus: “I am a beautiful womap, with cloud- like hair, flowery face, willow-like waist and crescent eyebrows. I have enough property to walk through life hand in hand, gazing at flowers in the day, and the moon at night. If there is a gentleman who is clever, learned, handsome and of good taste, I will join with him for life, and share the pleas- ure of being buried in the same grave.” Less sentimental was the matrimonal method of one Signor Tasino, a wealthy And eccentric old gentleman of a Naples suburb. The signor had one weakness, a passion for macaroni; and as he was unable to find a cook sufficiently skilled to prepare this delicacy to his taste, he decided to take the bold step of offering his hand and fortune as a prize to the lady who, in a competitian, should prove herself the cleverest artist in macaront. The novel contest with such a substantial reward for the win- ner, attracted no fewer than 120 fair competitors; the most successful of whom Signor Tasino led in triumph to the altar a few days later. Many a bride has been won in pay- ment of a gambling debt; but none un- der such singular and romantic condi- tions as Lady Sarah Cadogan, daugh- ter of that Lord Cadogan who fought so gallantly in the Duke of Marlbor- ough’s wars. Lady Sarah was a mere child when her hand was bartered over & game of cards to the father of the youthful Earl of March. When the Earl was summoned, from school and confronted with the girl whom he was told he must marry forthwith, be ex- claimed with boyish frankness: “What! Marry that dowdy! Never!” Probably Sarah’s opinion of her hus- band-to-be would have been equally uncomplimentary if she had. given can- did expression to it, but neither brjde nor bridegroom was consulted in the matter, and the two children were made man and wife on the spot, the young Lord being packed off to make the grand tour with his tutor, while the Lady Sarah was sent back to the Yeafs passed before they met again. Lord March returned to England, a handsome young man whose happiness was only clouded by the prospect of having to spend the rest of his days with ‘*that dowdy.” At any rate, he vowed he would havé his fligg in Lon- don before settling down to guch an odious future. One day he chanced to be in the opera house, when he saw in a box opposite the most beaytiful girl on whom he had set eyes. Ah!‘if he were only single, what a prize she would be to win.and to wear! “Who is that lovely girl ih the stage box?” he asked a gentleman beside him. “My dear sir,” was the answer> “you must be a stranger in London if you do not know the toast of the town— the lovely Lady March!” Lady March! Why, the fairy vision was then his own wife, the ugly duck- ling of a few years before! So happy did their union prove that when he died his beautiful Countess quickly drooped and faded away. ‘He predeceased her; she for a little tried To. live without him; liked it not, and a Few young ladies, however, desperate- ly in need of a husband have tke cour- age, like Miss Elizabeth Magtie of Wash- ington, to advertise themselves for auc- IF YOUR HEART STOPS— Well What*fat person can tell when? You know, of course what it means when your heart stops. It is all oven About ninety per cent of deaths from heart disease are caused by fatty degeneration of the heart.

These are words in which Miss Magie, who was a typist earning $10 a week, proclaimed her qualities and defects: “Young, intelligent, educated, refined, honest, just, poetical, philosophical, broad-minded, big-souled and womanly above all things. Brunette, with large gray-green eyes, full passionate lips and splendid teeth. Hardly beautiful, but with very attractive features, full of character and strength. Graceful, upple, warm, generous-hearted, at times bubbling with merriment and vivacity, then dignified, sedate and _ studious. Deeply and truly religious, without be- ing prudish or pious.

This liquid stops the spreading of the rash, takes out all the itching and quickly heals the flesh. TAKING NO CHANCES. “Oh, the sorrow Of it!” sobbed the fair maid. “Last night I refused Mr. Blank and this morning his body was found in the river.”* “Poor. fellow!” murmured her girl friend. “Il suppose he wastafraid you might change your: mind.” ’ s THE FACT THAT THE BULK OF THE WHISKEY SOLD THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES IS BLENDED PROVES THE POPULARITY OF THIS FORM OF WHISKEY a Baltimore IS A BLEND OF MARY- LAND’S PUREST STRAIGHT YE WHISKIES OF UNI- M EXCELLENCE AND IS THE PERFECTION OF QUALITY AND FLAVOR ‘ plerahts fact that in this age of greed there are thousands whose souls are yearning for opportunities of expres- sion, but whose bodies “are bound by galling chains to the rock of mechanical! toil.’’ Miss Miriam Edwina, a “handsome blonde of nineteen, with blue eyes, a sweet mouth, and an _ exceptionally graceful figure,” conceived the novel idea of raffiing herself in order to raise the money necessary to train her voice for the operatic stage. The tickets for the raffie, which she herself sold, bore the following agreement: ‘‘For the pur- pose of assisting the completion of the musical education of Miss Edwina, I agree to pay the sum of (so many) dol- lars. If this number be the lucky one, all interests being mutual, matrimony may be considered:”’ A short time ago the Mayor of Kol- ked, in Hungary, acted as arbitrator in a singular dispute. In this district it is customary for the bridegraom to pay a sum of money,.to the’ bride’s parents; and as, in this case, the parties were unable *to agree on the amount payable, it was decided to refer the dispute to the Mayor. His Worship, who is a cat- tle dealer, solved the difficulty in a highly ingenious manner. After inspect- ing the lady, he declared that she was wor half a crown a pound; scales were produced; the bridegroom handed ents, and the wedding ceremony was at once proceeded with. Equally novel: was the project of a certain tea company to provide a hus- band as prize to the lad# canvassers for orders. The terms of the offer were as foliows: “The young lady who pro- dnees the best results, compared with the amount of salary received, for not less than six months’ service, will re- ceive £500, and be allowed to marry any single young gentleman in the firm. Should the young gentleman refuse to marry her, we will pay her breach of promise damages, £100 extra, and dis- miss the yqing gentleman from the firm.”” And glthough wives are not either actually or metaphorically, given away with a pound: of tea, they have in very recent years been the reward of a lucky toss, and the winning of a foot race, a game of billiards andi a prize at Bisley. Some time ago a New York néwspa- per published the offer, by Mr. Dwight, a Washington franch owner, of his daughter's hand, the sum of £2000, a comfortable house and a reversion of the ranch, to the most eligible young man desirous of becoming his son-in- law. The response to this tempting jn- vitation was so overwhelming that with- in a week Mr. Dwight received nearly six thousand applications frem meg of alfnost all ages and conditions. The candidates included 183 doctors. sy undergraduates, @ ‘‘soclety and club men,”’ 22 ministers of religion, drap- ers’ assistants, 1100 clerks, 146 mechan- ics, 295 “business men," 1452 men of po occupation agd—one tramp—each of whom was eloquent tin the discription of his own preferential claims.

Which Is Here Presented. ci foe, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I have beén in St. Louis a year. I am a Southern girl and I take pleasure in) helping girls to become popular. Some girls when introduced to young men bow their heads, look at tke n in blank amazement, or turn away and converse with other giris, leaving the fellow in an awkward position. Some giris are too old maidish by becoming shocked at little things. To be sensible and have scores of admirers you should treat every one according to tgs disposition. A, kind word and a smile makes all who come in contact with you feel happy and at ease. I have more boy friends than the average girl. Nine fellows out of every ten have proposed marriage. You do not have to be pretiy, but you must be sweet and sympathetic. I al- ways hold a boy’s friendship and re- spect, even if they make mistakes. Then I just tell the young man to look me square in the eyes five minutes and listen. After that he behaves properly. The noy of today wants to meet more girls of winning ways—not the old maid- ish sort who sit back and look at one, but one who can laugh and jolly and still be refined and virtuous. Men are not so bad after all. FROM A POPULAR GIRL. To the Editor of the st-Dispatch. ease permit an fnterested girl read- er to aid some views of her own con- erning the sensible girl question. I wish to say that I agree with ss Too Sensible in all she says except hey self- styled title. She does herself an injus- tice if she means she has more sense than necessary. She is no doubt a sweet home girl and I should be pleased to add her, as such, to the list of my friends. Owing to my long stay at a girls’ college qt of the city, I am on intimate terms with loads of girls; and I have not yet found a girl who was really, truly too sensible. There were some who had fofheads like Bartlett pears and moped at recreation while we were animated damsels indulging in baseball or handball for the,exercise of it. Alas, my forehead doeg not dis- play any. bumps of learning and my eyes are blue and not spectacled either, and my hair is brown. I was laid out a home girl, as I just love to cogk ai keep house. I am not one to back out of any adventures for the sake of being contradictory or stubborn, and I always have a good time, but I just won't ma a fool of myself for or with any il man, to regret it in the years to come I hate “mollycoddles’ ahd wouldn't go with a “bully.” Some men think be cause a girl is stunning in looks am vivacious that she lacks good se. I ig not always so. I am not @ t girl nor a working girl, though I wor ia be the latter if it were necessary to help _ the family. I am just like loads o others—a normal “home girl,” with ; nl such ambitions as the home-loving gir possesses, and one who holds+it taste te assert herself too plainty, t dress in a “loud” manner or to “work men for her seitush pieasure. alee “A HOME GIRL.” | STOPURKICKEN | Quit yer cussin’ "bout the weather, — Stopurkicken!” at Take the fair and foul together, Stopurkicken! #434 When the clouds look black and bleary, Say, ‘‘Tomorrow’ll sure be cheery,” — Don't make all the neighbors weary, Stopupkicken!

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 13.—The three prosperity boomers from St. Louis, E. C. Simmons, Festus J. Wade and Ed- ward Devoy, who are here to enlist New Yorkers in their campaign for a general revival of business, are busy as the proverbial bee. Already they have visited two centers of metropoll- tan business life. They had luncheon in the Chamber of Commerce with the Executive Committee of that organi- zation, and then visited the Wortd building and plant. They expressed regret at not having been in time to participate in the celebration of the World’s twenty-fifth anniversity. “We know The World in St. Leuis,”’ Said Mr. Simmons, “for it was there that Mr. Pulitzer started his journal- istic career. Many years ago, when he retired from the office of Police Cemmissioner in St. Louis, I was his successor. It was a pleasure to note the success he has achieved and the power for good exerted by his news- paper.”’ Support Is Promised. At the Chamber of Commerce, after outlining the general plan of the Na- tional Prosperity Association and dis- cussing its objects at length, Mr. Sim- mons asked the Chamber’s Executive Committee to promise its co-operation. A. B. Hepburn, president of the Chase National Bank, sald that while the committee was in sympathy with them, it had no power to act for the Chamber of Commerce, but would submit the matter to that bedy for action in the near future. This would mean nearly a month’s delay, and Mr. Simmons made such a strong argument for haste that the Executive Committee agreed to meet today to decide whether a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce shall be called. While those present agreed with the visitors as to the desirability of co- operative action on the part of the commercial bodies of the entire coun- try, it was the general opinion of the New York business men that the move- ment should take a good hold in the West first, as the people there are more in sympathy with the adminis- tration than are people in the East. To Hasten Restoration. Mr. Simmons told the Chamber’s Ex- ecutive Committee that it was the in- By PROMPTLY ce «FILLED.

After the meeting Mr. Simmons said: “TI am very much pleased with our re- ception in New York. The members of the Chamber of Commerce whom we met today, and with whom we discussed our plans, were all in perfect sympathy with our association, and agreed with all our views. We came to New York to win approval for our endeavors, and go away very much pleased with the re- sult.’’ Mr. Simmons compared the country to a sick child, saying: “The illness has passed, and the country would naturally return to normal conditions of financial strength within a certain period, but]: lour object is to hasten the return‘ of complete strength and confidenoce."’ ' Orops Will Be Good, When asked after the meeting if he thought the natural conditions of the ceuntry favored a speedy return of “good times,"’ .President Hepburn re- plied: “I certainly do. All prosperity cemes from the sil, and the crops this Sold in St. Louis only by year promise to be remarkably prolific. Let these crops reach the market, and HE ESTEY co. let the people understand that there is 1116 OLIVE ST.: no longer any occasion for financial worry, and the country will enter upon an unprecedented period of prosperity.” Regarding the steps that will be taken by the Chamber of Commerce in the “Prosperity Movement,”’” Mr. Hepburn said: “I am only one member of that body and cannot state what aetion it ks will take. However, I am personally in faver of any movement to improve the general condition of the country.”’ The St. Louisans will leave for home today.
