NEGRO LOUIS TILL; MOB TRIES TQ HANG fill East Side Deputies Arrive Just as Noose Is Adjusted About Neck.

CHASED HIM TWO MILES

One Deserted Pursuing Party and Telephoned Officers for Help.

George Lewis, a negro, living at 6311 Northrup avenue, is safe in the County Jail at Belleville after having been res- cued from 21 infuriated farmers, who were about to lynch him near Kaho- kia, Ill., after chasing him two miles. Deputy Sheriffs Goetz and Putnam of East St. Louis took the negro from the mob as the noose was being adjusted. Lewis had robbed Lucien Godin's sa- loon near Kahokia while 18-year-old Miss Lillian Godin was away from the bar getting him a sandwich. Lewis admitted the robbery and told the farmers he had thrown away the money stolen from the cash register while the chase was on. Lewis had gone to Goose Lake, near Cahokia, for an afternoon's Godin saloon and bought @ bottle of beer, and asked for a sandwich. While Miss Godin was out of the room, Lewis went behind the bar and robbed the cash register of all the money it contained. He was stepping -rom be- hind the bar as Miss Godin returned. He ran and she immediately gave the nearby farmers joining in the chase. The crowd increased as the ne- gro ran down the country roads. Far- mers on horses and with guns and re volvers joined in the pursuit. The negro kept well in the lead until he reached the Wayman saloon, two miles from the Godin saloon. Wayman Saw the negro running, pursued by the rmers. He stopped him at the. point of a revolver, and turned him over to the pursuers. Immediately afeer he’ was identified the farmers demanded that he be killed. After some debate it was de- cided to ‘hang him. . While two men went to a farmer's house a mile away to get a rope, an- other farmer, who believed the negro should be turned over to the officers, raced his horse two miles to the near- est telephone and summoned Deputy Sheriffs Goetz and Putnam from East St. Louis, explaining they would have to hurry if they arrived in time to save the negro’s life. ‘ Kane and Putnam rushed into the street. ordered J. J. Kane of East St. Louis out of a buggy in which he was driving, and took possession. Driving rapidly, they reached the Godin saloon, four miles distant, just as the rope was being carried from the wagon to the negro, who was seated in front of the | saloon, surrounded by 21 farmers, armed with guns, revolvers and clubs. aS) alarm,

WASHINGTON, May ...—W. J. Bryan issued a challenge today to William H. Taft. It is an invitation to join him in urg- ing Congress to pass the bi!l providing for of campaign expenses. It came by wire from Lincoln, Neb., and publicity says: “I beg to suggest that, as leading candidates in our respective parties, we join in asking Congress to pass a bill requiring publication of campaign con- “tributions prior to election. If you think best, we can ask other candidates to unite with us in the request. “W. J. BRYAN.” Secretary Taft gave out for publica- tion his answer, as follows: “Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.— Your telegram received on April 30 last. I sent the following letter to Sen- ator Burrows, the chairman of tne Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions of the Senate: ‘“*‘My Dear Mr. Burrows: “I sincerely believe that it would greatly tend to the absence of corrup- tion in politics if the expenditures for nomination and. election of all candi- dates and all contributions received and expenditures made by political commit- tees could be made public both in re- spect to State and natiorial politics. “For that reason I am strongly in fa- vor of the passage of the bill which is now pending in the Senate and Hoy: bringing about this result, @o far: national politics are concerned.

Indiana Preacher Exchanges Shots With Constable After Discussing Beer Shipment. ——

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 26.—The Rev. George Hayes, pastor of the Bap- tist church at Shelburn, was shot in the hip last night by Constable Curtis McCoskey. The preacher shot at the Constable, or at his deputy, John Myers, first, and a number’ of shots were fired on both sides, but only one took effect. A lot of beer Was to be sent to Terre Haute breweries because Shelburn has gone dry, and Mr. Hayes believed some trick was being played by which all the beer might,not be sent out of town. There was a crowd about the place where it was stored and during the dis- cussion McCoskey and the preacher ex- changed personal remarks, . Suddenly the preacher began shooting. Several weeks ago, while Mr. Hayes was finishing his course in a theological college in Tennessee, his brother, a coal miner, was shot and instantly killed by a saloonkeeper at Jackson Hill, near Shelburn. The marksman was firing at beer bottles at the side of his saloon and Hayes was sitting on a fence. When the theological student came home for the funeral he announced that he would devote the remainder of his life to anti-saloon work and he has Shelburn.

James Cafferata, saloonkeeper at 1018 Pine, signed a new contract under the November schedule April 13. In order to get a rate of 9% cents, Cafferata guaranteed 50 cents a month on each of his 20 lamps. Cafferata's bill for January, under the old contract, was $13.76; for Febru- ary, $12.73, and for March, $12.26. His first bill for service rendered un- der the new contract was $16.16. He says he was burning more ught in Janu- ary than he was in April, a fact which seems self-evident to most consumers.

Although Farrell testified that he re- ceived $31,000 in rents of Snell's prop- erty in Iowa alone, and finally sold u portion for $41,000 hetween 1900 and 190s, and also received equally large sums from rents and sales of land in Illinois, Col. Snell died cwing Central Ilinots banks a sum ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 and with nothing to show for the large sums recéived from the sources narrated. The only possible answer to the problem, according to lawyers for Richard Snell, is Mabelle Snell. A trip to Fort Dodge in 1906 by Col. Snell and Mabelle to inspect .farm land and city realty was recalled by Far- rell, Never Had Seen Valunble Land. The witnesg said Col. Snell and Ma- belle were at Fort Dodge three days. They went to Iowa to arrange the sale of property. Col. Snell never had seen the land previously, according to the statement ‘of witnesses, although he had received $32,000 in rent between 1900 and 1906 from the property. Morris Sturn, a Clinton merchrays:, told of the change in Col. Snell's dis- position toward his son, Richard. Ten years ago, Sturn testified, Snell char- acterized Richard as the best one he had and that he had made $200,000 for him. ) Called Richard a Thief. In the closing years of his life he abused his son, called him a thief and accused him of robbing him. Sturn thought Snell was insane. D. D. Leary of Bloomington told of an incident where he went to see the old man about the sale of a carriage. “You are a thief! Everybody is a thief. The country has gone to hell,” Was the unexpected greeting received ey the witness. Snell was excited, mov- g his arms and walking rapidly about the room. “The poor afe getting poorer and the rich are growing richer.

Both were dissatisfied with the fine and each took an appeal to the. Court of Criminal] Cor- rection. The trouble was on account of a suit brought by Selleck against Mrs. Louise Kastlick, mother of Wolter, who lives at 109 North Channing avenue, for an at- torney feo of $460. Selleck obtained a continuance, which rovoked the others. Wolter, accord- ng to Selleck, called him a vile name as he was leaving the courtroom.

At a) | Miller’s Landing Neighborhood in St. Charles County Being Deserted. ON HORSI: .. APPARITION No Sound of Footfall Heard ty Those Who Havé Seen Strange Phantom. —

1: A’ ghostly figure in long, white robes rides a snow-white horse along the sum- mit of the steep bluffs which overlook the Missouri River at Miller's Landing, 12 miles south of St. Charles. Never a sound of clattering hoofs is heard as the strange steed and its weird rider loom into sight, travel for half a mile along the top of the steep precipice and then disappear as quickly as they came. The apparition has stricken terror to the hearts of the negroes who make up the majority of the little settlement, ans they are deserting their farms and truck gardens and fleeing from the place. So .persistent have been their stete- ments that a ghost is abroad that a party. of prominent citizens of St. Charles is being made up to go to Mil- ler’s Landing and solve the mystery. Hate to See Them Go. This expedition is not entirely for pur- poses of psychic research: The negtoes of Miller’s Landing are prosperous, and they are good customers of St. Charles ‘|merchants, Who hope to check their ex- the, odus by convincing them that strange vision which théy see at night is not supernatural. Six of the negro families have already moved from Miller’s Landing to West Alton, They are firmly convinced that the white ‘rider on the white horse is a ghost, and that the river bluff is ‘*h’anted.’’ Can’t Be Mistaken. “‘Cain’t tell me,’’ said Samuel Brooks, one o fthe fugitives. ‘‘Ah knows a ghos’ when ah sees one, an’ suah as yo bohn dis heah one is ginooine. Hit bobs up every night ‘bout haf pas’ ‘leven er twelve. ..A ghos', why, Lawdy, Lawdy, it cain’t be’ nothin’ else. “T’se comin’ long de road fum a pro- tracted meetin’ of de Bohd of Eldahs of de’ George Washington African.

I don’t want no truck wiv gxhoses."’ Several white residents of Miller's Landing say that they, too, have seen the mysterious apparition, but none of them is preparing to move.

The following are the known dead today: Frank Edwards, former member of Dallas Fire Department, drowned in street. Mrs. Anna Montgomery, drowned from boat trying to rescue her. Unidentified woman, washed from a buggy. Two unidentified men, drowned with wrecked railroad bridge. Three children of John Roberts, Charley. Four negroes drowned near Waco. Trinity;river reached its highest point early this morning, 53 feet, which is 12 feet higher than ever before officially recorded by Government guages. Today’s reports indicate great havoc was wrought through a stretch of 70 miles long, from a point 20 miles above Dallas to 50 miles below. At places the water spread out to a width of five mites, Armed Guards Everywhere. Wearing practically the appearance of a city under martial law, with armed guards everywhere, Dallas has turned to relief and rescue work, to succor the 5000 people made. homeless in the flood of Sunday night, and to care for the bodies of the drowned. Dallas must search for its dead miles below here. Sheriff Ledbetter clings to his estimate that fully 100 persons perished and thinks the num- ber may run even higher. Famine Is Feared.

tarrhal Diseases. Testimonials could be printed by the thousands, many of them from St. Louis and nearby towns, that Hyomei is an absolute cure for all catarrhal troubles, but the best proof of its un- usual curative powers is the guarantee with every outfit, “Money back if Hy- omei does not do all that is claimed for it.” Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its formula is given freely to physicians who want to know what they use when they prescribe Hyomei. It is guaran- teed under the Pure Food and Drug Law by serial No. 1418 By breathing Hyomei, the healing medication goes directly to every nook and corner of the air passages where the catarrhal germs may lurk, and dis- infects and heals, BEST OF PROOF That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms of Ca-

ging when Hyomei is used. Its heal- ing medication is breathed through a little pocket inhaler a few times daily, and almost immediately a great im- provement is noticed and quick recov- ery follows. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00, and in most cases is suf- ficient to cure the disease, making it not only a scientific treatment, but one that is highly economical. Get an outfit today if you have any symp- toms of catarrh, and see how quickly the remedy relieves and cures. We positively guarantee Hyomei, for should you buy a complete outfit, price $1.00, and be dissatisfied with resulta your money will be refunded. Hyomei is sold by druggists everywhere.

DROPS SU Wife Abandons Annulment Proceedings, but Will Seek Control of Property. 4 MOTHER TO CONTEST Mrs. William Thaw Wants Authority Over Fortune of Her Son. _—— By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 2%.—Harry Thaw and his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, have become reconciled. She has con- sented to drop the action, which she began last March, to have their mar- riage annulled on the ground of Thaw’'s insanity. When the hearing in the annulment action was called in Referee Robert BE. Deyo’s office, Daniel O'Reilly, repre- senting Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, moved to discontinue the suit. Very little testi- mony had been taken by Referee Deyo ‘and the action had not progressed much beyond the preliminary stages. There had been four postpouements in the>case, equally divided between the parties to the suit, and at no time did there seem to be an overwhelm- ing desire on the part of either side to have a decision rendered. Wants Control of Property. The discontinuance of the annulment action leaves young Mrs. Thaw in the position of being the wife of an insane man; and, as such, it is un- derstood that she will immediately make application to have herself ap- pointed a committee of his person and property. In support of his application she will have the decision of Justice Morschauser that her husband is still insane and the testimony of the ex- perts called at her husband’s trial that he was insane on the day he made his ee Pree Cétters Introduced by Wife Held tol Be Insufficient: Evidence. Judge Moyers has dismissed the bill for divorce, in the case of Courtland Cook against Grace Cook, and denied | the crogs-bill of Mrs. Cook in the East St. Louis City Court. Cook was ordered to pay the costs, Cook filed the original. bill alleging eryelty and desertion. Mrs. Cook dented these allegations in her. cross-bill and Mentioned twe women with whom she claimed her husband was too friendly. Letters fond in Cook’s pockets by his wife were introduced as evidence but Judge Moyers held that without other evidence the letters were not sufficient to sustain Mrs. Cook's allegations.

NORFOLK, Va., May %.—Everything is in readiness for the gunnery tests to which the monitor Florida is fo be sub- jected in lower Chesapeake Bay tomor- row, when she will become a target for heavy firing from the turrets of her sig- ter ship, the monitor Arkansas, and for torpedoes, to be shot at her under water by the torpedo boat Morris. All the vessels that are to participate In the experiment are in Hampton Roads, having left the Norfolk Navy Yard yesterday. Commander Quimby and his men have full faith in the ability of their ship to withstand serious damage from the guna of the Arkansas, and they have no doubt of the repelling by the ‘‘torpedo’”’ net about the Florida below. water line of the torpedoes that will be shot at her by the Morris. It will be a testing of the armor plate of the Fiorida and the ability of that class of veaséls to withstand heavy firing from modern guns, as we!!l as the marksmanship of those doing the firing. Practically all these who will occupy hagardeus positions 6n the Florida are volunteers who offered their services when the call went out from the Navy Department: The tests are being and makes the subdivision actually a health resort.

Fearing just such a move on Evelyn Thaw’s part, it is understood, Mrs. William Thaw is on her way to this city, and will endeavor to circumvent the plans of her son’s wife by having herself named as the committee of her son’s estate. Several things have contributed to the new turn in Thaw’s domestic af- fairs. Of these none has done more to bring the young couple together again than the prisoner's strong love for the woman who bears his name. It now transpires that, despite the action be- gun by Evelyn Thaw to gain her free- dom, she hag been corresponding reg- ularly with her husband and that they have at all times been the best of friends. Thaw has never lost faith in her, and to all stories that she had forgotten him since his incarcerat- tion he has turned a deaf ear. Will Resume Her Visits. It was thought best that Evelyn Thaw should not visit her husband at Matteawan and Poughkeepsie while the habeas corpus proceedings for his release were in preparation and on trial, but now that the court has ruled against him she will resume her vis- its’ to him. Thaw will remain in the Poughkeepsie Jail while his counsel tries to persuade District Attorney Jerome to allow the prisoner to be returned to some other State institu- tion for the insane. It is expected | that Mrs. Thaw will visit him there, for the first time in more than two months, District Attorney Jerome will ex- haust every resource at his command to prevent Thaw from being returned to any other institution than Mattea- wan. It is said that he will not listen to the proposition of Thaw being sent to Poughkeepste, as it is from that institution that one of the experts who testified in Thaw’ s behalf came. Thaw Sane, , Says Littieton. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May %.—“I am not any longer in the case, and don’t know whether I did best when I won it or + hae I got out,” was the comment of Martin Littleton on the Thaw ver- dict. r.. Littleton is now returning to New Fork. “IT am fot surprised in the least; the proceedings were ill-advised and prema- ture in the extreme,” he added. ‘I am sorry the boy has blundered, Justice orschauser has rendered his decision or the sake of public polloy; it was for tawas at redson that Thaw was sent to Mat- aw killing, but ii is not now. He is not any more dangerous than many other peo- le outside. He will always be just like e is now.”’ MAN HAD SPENT MUCH TIME AND MONEY WITH PHYSICIANS Bernard Sansan of 1535 Weil place was a cleatinghousé for the payment of physicians, it is claimed, Tn a sworn statement he is quoted as saying that he worked only to get money to pay doctor bills and much of doctors. “For eight years I suffered with pa- ralysis,” he is quoted as saying. “Phy- sicians were unable to do anything for me. I devoted my earnings to seeking @ cure and paying the doctors. Some induced me to call on Phenomenal ‘Kraus’ specialists at 528 Chestnut stteet for free consuitetion and examinatioh. | “Brom the first I began to improve, ‘after six months I am able to walk with but little trouble.

Your Past, Present and Future Often May Be Betrayed by a Few Words. BY MARGUERITE MARTYN, HY does the couple who sit just behind me in the street car per- sist in telling one almost every- thing there is to know about themselves? It isn't that one is fond of overhearing their private conversation, for some- times they are most objectionable. It is true enough that the dullest of us possesses a history which would fill a 300-page book, and just as it is easy to read a chapter of a book in the course of a 30-minute ride on a trolley car, and just as the chapter, selected at random, will give one an impression of the char- acter of a book, so it is possible from their conversation, manner and appear/ ance to form an opinion of the person

If not, I am sure that a glance at the elaborately gowned, bejeweled and be- feathered matron, in stone, comfortable complacency, protecting her daughter in fond selfishness, and the wise, exper!i- enced-looking chiid, wonderfully gotten up and perfectly aware of her smart appearance, wouid complete the story.

That’s all you need to tell these Racquet Club people. “Hello, here’s the St. Louis Club,” as we passed 3600 west. “I thought you al- ways stopped off here on your way home, for an appetizer.”’ Doesn’t Always Stop. \ “Not always,” said his friend, who up to this point had maintained an ab- solute silence which I thought as sig- nificant as the other’s volubility. And there was a complete lack of conversa- tion between the two thereafter’ until I reached my destination. Another day a dear little old lady told me so plainly, almost without speaking, how she is the cosy, comfortable grand- moter, in a modern home, to which her son-in-law had brought her daughter, from a village not many years ago. She was all of a flutter «xs she perched there beside me and I felt that my slightest turn toward her would release her tongue. and I'll make it right e death?” she said, smiling» As I hap- pened to remember having read the no- tice containing this sad news, some days before, s0, been until then unfamt{llar to me, I was able to answer intelligently: “Yes, she was quite young, she?’’ *“O, yes,”’ she went on, “that was the trouble. She was so young and thought- less.”’ Then followed a complete description of the deceased ladys symptoms and ailments, and their outcome. “In Hillsboro,’’ she continued, ‘‘we never had any of these hospitals where people go and die—but then, we didn’t have any of these new-fashioned dis- eases either, and I guess if one of Fan- ny’s children Was to get sick, I wouldn’t khow what to do for it. Will you tell me when we come to Grand avenue?” Her Thoughts Are Brd. And then there was the lady with whom I got pretty well acquainted without the necessity of either of us ut- tering a word. It was one of those scorching days of last week. I did not blame her for forecjng me to- climb over her into the sunny side of the seat. .But when the conductor came and she paid her fare I couldn’t: un- derstand why she straightened up so rigidly. and fixed a disapproving stare upon me, until I remembered that I had the nickel the conductor had given me in change, as I entered the car, still in my hand.

NEWEST GIBSON GIRL |S A DEEP DARK MYSTERY — Famous Artist Just Back From Paris Won’t Discuss Pros- pective Work.

RAPS. “MERRY WIDOWS”

<< says Women’s Lines Should Go Up and Down, Not Crosswise.

| BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. NEW YORK, May 2.—‘‘Mr. Gibson, this is an indictment. Why have you never drawn any little girls, any busi- ness giris or any professional girls?’ “But, by goily, I have!”’ hastily inter- pose. the defendant. our greatest artist in black and white. There had been rumors that now that Charles Dana Gibson has at last re- turned to America to live permanently, tie famous Gibson Girl was about to be revived, and I had sought Mr. Gibson at the Waldorf-Astoria to confirm that. “It is nonsehse to say I’m going back to black and white,’’ said the artist. ‘‘It Was nonsense to say I had given it up, 35 the newspapers persisted in saving I had. I simply went to’Paris for a few years to put in some new machinery.” “And tne new machinery is in?’’ I questioned. He’s Here to Stay. “Yes,"” acquiesced the creator of the sibson Girl. “if ‘you want to put it that way. I am back in America to say now, though I may return to. Paris for a month next winter. I have kept my studio there. One gets them: for almost nothing,’’ he added deprecatingly. I noticed that Mr. Gibson is deprecat- ink in almost everything. Tall. and bread-shoul g ed as one of, his. own heroes, but sith that greater strength that a creator must alwdys have’ over hie creations, his manner has a. shy- Tnéess and a modesty most astonishing in a man who has taken Fame by the hand and found her to be Fortune as well. When I asked Mr. Gibson about. the little girls—I had always intended to present a brief for them if I ever met him—he grew quite perturbed. Stnnding on Books, ‘But I’ve drawn a great many little girls,’’ he protested, ‘‘only, for the sake of the picture, I’ve made them appéar taller. If a little girl goes to a photogra- pher to be photographed, he makes her stand on a book or two and arranges her skirts in a Certain way about the feet to give her long lines. He has to. Not that she isn’t charming as she is; but because she wou!d otherwise look shorter than she is, in the picture.’’ “So, for the consolation of the little girl, she may imagine that some of the Gibson goddesses are merely standing on a book or two?’ I suggested. And then the majestic shadow of the Gib- son Girl loomed before me. “I think it would have to be a 1l-volume set,” I added. ’ Mr. Gibson smiled his assent. “It’s all a matter of big heads,’ he elucidated. ‘‘A little woman with a smail head looks taller tnan the woman of the same size with a large head. The ancients drew their figures about eight times the height of the head. But the heads have got bigger, and we have to draw figures taller.”’ “Yours are at least 10 heads?’’ I sug- gested. : Definition of Aristocrat. “Ten or twelve,’ asserted the artist. “But you said a while ago I had never drawn a busincss or professiona] woman. You accused me of preferring what you termed the aristocratic type. What do you call an aristocrat?” “There are probably more aristocrats among the girls who work for a living than in any other class. People con- found aristocracy with money. Families that have had money for two or three generations expect to equal those that have had education and gentle training for centuries. It’s impossible. A family that’s had time to decay financially, s0 that its women have to work for a liv- ing, is certainly older than one in the flower of financial prosperity. : Mr. Gibson, who because of his diffi- dence, and perhaps, too, because of a wariness born of much pursuit by inter- viewers, had been difficult to draw into conversation. Now, just as he swung into an easy conversational gait, the sudden fear of the interviewers came upon him, Afraid of Interviewers. “By golly, here I am talking like 4 Baptist preacher!” he exclaimed. “You know, I make it a point never to be interviewed,” he added, “‘because I'm apt to get started and talk too much. And then [ read things that I've never, said that make me blush up to the roots of my hair.” —_————— ee —* ome Co ae nag e Evening Paper in St. Louis with both Associated Press and United Press Service — see nono nop ame ‘OOO, 60606 eemeeeme eee 0 _ a oma — se Oe nt Oe 8 ene ee

A COMMISSION DEMANDED. In considering plans for the creation of a pub- lic utilities commission it should be borne in mind that the sole object of a commission {s to obtain information upon which to base a just Ya |}measure regulating the charges and conditions of service of the public utility corporations. The commission will not determine the rates and reg- ulations. This is the duty of the Municipal As- sembly. The power to fix tates and formulate regulations having the force of law is vested in the Municipal Assembly. Any commission created would be merely the agent of the As- all the facts relating to public utilities and their service, to report the facts with such recommenda- ‘fons as the commission, in the light of informa- tion obtained, may think necessary for the pro- The Municipal Assembly can empower the com- mission to summon witnesses, to send for the books of the corporations and to employ legal and expert assistants. Although the Cooper enabling act was pri- marily designed to give municipal legislatures the power to protect the people of the cities from un- reasonable charges and oppressive conditions of service, the clause providing for the creation of commissions was intended as a measure of pro- tection for public utility corporations against hasty, unreasonable and ill-advised legislation. It was designed to supply the municipal legislators with the full information necessary to the intelli-. gent devising of reasonable rates and regulations. It is a measure of justice to the corporations. It signalizes the fairness of the law. The function of a commission being that of in- vestigation, no wrangles or differences between the Mayor and the House of Delegates or the House and the Council should be permitted to defeat the wise and just purpose of the act. A well-selected joint committee of the Council and | House, if it would employ honest and capable pro- fessional aids to do the practical work, would serve the ends desired. There should be a rea- sonable adjustment of differences, between the House and Council. The two branches should agree upon a measure which will accomplish the object of laying the foundation for an effective and sound ordinance. Ample facts proving exorbitant charges ayd oppressive conditions of service on the part of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. have been published by the Post-Dispatch. The facts show the need of a thorotigh investigation ahd of wise regulation. But if none of thesé facts had been brought out, the demand for action by the Municipal Assembly would be well-grounded. No monopoly should be intrusted with power to fix its own charges and determine the conditions of its service. Monopoly power is invariably ebused for purposes of greed. The people are helpless to resist its overcharges and hard exactions, unless the power of law is invoked and put into effect for their protection. fhe Municipal Assembly cannot longer ig- | nore the overwhelming public demand for action under the Cooper law. To fail to give law would be a gross neglect of duty, a shameful betrayal of public interest to pri- vate monopoly interest. Lect us have a satis- factory commission at the earliest possible date. ii i, a el According to the antenuptial agreement, poor Mme. Gould will have no chance to share in Prince Helie’s wealth.

Ape, & Ar i THE WIDOW’S MIGHT. Qne lone little woman, and a widow woman at that, successfully regulated the Laclede Gas Co. last week. She bought a two-burner gas stove and applied to the company for a meter for it. The company said that her little old stove was too small to bother with, or words to that effect, and refused her accordingly. But it made a great mistake.

I have read one or two letters lately ‘in your col- ums referring to little courtesies on the part of one or two street car conductors, and I want to say, in justice to al) that I have found, and I find it ex- pressed genefally, especially by the older ladies, that the street car conductors of St. Loufs/as a whole are a very courteous set of gentlemen. To that this has been more apparent’ since the new administration of the company, and I hope it will be continued as it is a credit to the company as well as the men, and un- doubtedly an advertisement for the city.

A Too Jovial Mood. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. | I sat just behind a young man in a conductor’s uni- form who appeared to be in a jovial mood, friendly with all the newsboys and others employed about the car, perhaps going home after a hard day’s work. After a spell of quiet, while passing a wagon drawn by two horses, then patiently waiting in front of a store, this fellow leaned from the window and de- liberately ejected a mouthful of tobacco juice square Into the face of one of the horses, striking it just below the eye, fortunately. The. poor animal tried to shake it off and I said: “Shame!’’ in an audible voice, but do not know. that he heard, as he gave no sign. What do you thibie of that? EYE- WITN ESS.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reply to “Student” in regard to the difference between Socialists and anarchists, I wish to give him the views of the Religious Telescope, Dayton, O.: “The anarchist is against present laws because he is against all laws. . The. Socialist:is against present laws because he wants better laws. The anarchist would have freedom from restraint for all. The So- clalist would have freedom through restraint for all. The anafchist says: Every man for himself. The So- cialist says: Every man for his fellow-man. Both are dissatisfied with what we have; but the anarchist seeks a cure for the ills of our present order in un- limited individualism, the Socialist in a perfected fel- lowship. One would diserganize to save, the other would organize; oné would disband, the other unité. To call them the same is either stupid or dishonest.”’ The Socialists are not in sympathy with or have any- thing to do with anarchy, bécause our program is en- tirely different. True, the Socialists carry the red flag, because it is the eriblem of liberty, and the flag of international Socialism that we would have wave Over the entire world. But when we get Social- ism in the United States, and it comes in 1912, it will be for the people to say whether they will retain the beloved Stars and Stripes or adopt the red flag. GOLDEN RULE,

' EXPERT OPINION VS. ACTUAL BILLS. From the St. Louis Globe-Demoérat. Comparing the check he draws in payment of the price of any. commodity, for any month in any year, with the check drawn for the same thing in the same month of the year preceding, and finding it larger, will convince the ordinary man that the price of the given cotnmodity is advancing. Such a man will be actually prejudiced in favor of the opinion that when a thing costs more than it did it has advanced in price. An expert opinion may be set against this prejudiced opinion in the effort to show how, although he seems to be paying more, he is really paying less. The only expert opinion he will accept as authorita- tive is that of his banker, who tells him that, what- ever the check calls for, and’not a penny less, is the amount the bank will use against him in balancing his account. An expert's charts and terminologies do not weigh much with such a man against the banker's figures. The expert may be able pa make out a strong tech- nical case showing that a reduction actually has been effected through. increase in both quantity and quality of service. In dealing with a man technically, or on.ah expert basis, it is necessary to have his complete confidence. Nobody can ever show the man whose prejudice is so strong that he doesn’t want to be shown, that any increase in any price charged against him is only apparent and not real. The same man, predisposed by fair and decent treatment in the past, in favor of the individual or corporation he is ‘dealing with, will hold an open and a willing mind even toward an expert who comes around to prove to him that one added to two does not increase it ab- solutely to three, but reducés it relatively to one and eleven-sixteenths * Corporations which do not regard confidence as an asset until they get into difficulties cannot demon- strate the truth that what seems an increase may which have always regarded confidence as ething worth having, and have sought it, not dnlg in their prices, but in their manner of dealing with the public.

JUST A “MINUTE FOR VERSE AND HUMOR. Written for the Post-Dispatca by Clark McAdams _ be ; THE FICTION OUTLOOK. You probably know when best sellers Are so dead that no one ever buys them, They call in a dramatist, scissors andi paste, — And have the young man dramatize them. In this way a book that has perished | And passed from the plaudits of men Revives as a drama and touches us all For a dollar and fifty again. For if we have‘read it and liked It, Why nothing it seems will suffice But seeing the dramiatist’s version And thus getting stung by it twice. And what has been true of our fiction, Will be true of our plays, we're ap- prised, For the books of the summer will be but the plays Of the winter, we're told, novelized. Perhaps they’ve concluded of plays That they, like the best selling fiction, May. perish as plays, but as books may achieve Another and second affliction. At any rate, that’s what we're prom- ised This summer, when some shady nook shelter our hammock—the last winter plays Done over—one-fifty per bcok. IN DOUBT. The American press humoristse had planned to hold a convention at Den- ver late in the summer, but since af- fairs have taken their present turn, the humoristsa are inclined to belfeve that they might as well join forces with Mr, Bryan in July and make it one big laugh. | The spectacle of Mr. Bryan furnish- ing the platform, nominating himself, and then picking out a man he wouldn't mind having succeed him in case he per- ished tn the Waite House, will be a lit- tle more laughable than anything with which the press humorists could hope to amuse the people of Denver later on in the summer. Correspondence looking to a union of forces and a joint convention has been exchanging for several weeks. The Alfred Vanderbilts are happily di- vorced. |

It was one summer day that she first met the handsome and soldierly Duke Henry of Mecklenburg- Schwerin in the Thuringian Forest, and the moment she set eyes on him she knew that her conqueror had come at last. It was the prelude to many happy days of later meetings, when the Prince would steal away from his military du- ties to ramble through the forest glades in blissful companionship with the fair young sovereign who had so quickly es- tablished her sovereignty over his heart: and when, a little later, Wilhelmina, with her mother, paid a visit to Hochst, in the Odenwald, the lover Was quick to follow in their steps, and his loyalty was “soon crowned by sweet conssent.”’ “I have never known two young peo- ple so absurdly happy,” wrote one of the court ladies. ‘‘When they drive to- gether at Het Loo, as they do every day, they take turn and turn about at the reins like children, and generally conduct themselves in a way which would be quite shocking if judged by hormal standards of decorum.”’ In allowing her heart to dictate the choice of her husband, Queen Victoria set an example which all her children have followed with the happiest results. It was in the Cathedral of Worms, to which he had gone with his tutor and equerry to examine the frescoes, that King Edward first saw the lovely Danish Princess who was destined to share his throne. To the susceptible young Prince this vision of sweet giri- hood was a revelation. “I had never realized till then,’’ he has since con- fessed, ‘‘the full possibilities of female loveliness.” And when, a little lator, His Royal Highness met the Princcss Alexandra at Heidelberg, he so quickly found that she was as charming as she appeared that the Prince Consort was able to record in his dairy. ‘“‘The young . | people seem to have taken a warm lik- ing for each other.”’ The climax to the romance came at K heim, where the Princess was Staying with some relatives. One day she arrived at the palace looking flushed and happy, after a meeting with the Prince. “Her cousins were most anxious to hear all about it," Says Mr. Kinloch Cooke, “and great excitement followed when Princess producing a~- photograph exciaified, By Diane de Morgny. WO new styles of hairdressing f3 have been launched in different parts of the world in the same week. This is really an event of national impertance, since the coiffure of the women points an age and goes Cown to history. Mme. Agnes Sorel, one of the most beautiful actresses in Paris, at the Comedie Francaise, has adopted the first of the new styles, and the Genee coiffure originated over here in honor of the popular dancer, Mlle. Adeline Genee. Mme. Sorel’s headdress is unusual be- cause it brings back the bang—the much reviled friz. But in this picture it has such a delightful and softening effect that it cannot help but attract at- tention and serve as substitute for the pomapdour. The high pompadour will be out of fashion by the fall, because smaller hats will come in and exagger- ated hairdresses will be entirely out of place. The Sorel coiffure recalls the chignons of the early 70's. The hair is all combed back except the small soft bang, a band of black velvet ribbon is tied immediate- ly above it, and then the rest of the hair is cciffed loosely over a pad on the crown of the head, twisted in a big coil, which comes down almost into the nape of the neck and ends at the sido in a curl which falls over the shoul- der. The curl, of course, is not a real one, not grown on the premises. Why should we ever bother with real curls when $500, 000 TO, KILL RATS Everybody Must t Aid in Work of Extermination.

However, the club is much more mature and accurate in its work than it was a month ago and the three victories over New York and the recent close games with Phila- delphia show that McCloskey’s team is not to be despised simply because it is in last place. McCloskey will probably stagger along through the season without getting an- other shortstop.

DOZEN FIGHTS Terry Meets Robson in New York Tonight in Try to Regain Fame. COMMENT BY EDGREN Fistic Authority’ Believes That Englishman Should Be Easy. Special to the Post-Dispaich. BY ROBERT EDGREN. _ NEW YORK, May 26.—Tonight at the plush-lined National Club, Terry Mc- Govern will make his bid for another clfmb to fame and fortune. “Spike”’ Robson, once of England, will be either the stepping stone for Terry’s climb or the stone that blocks the way. Terry is improving. He will have to get a dozen fights under his belt before anyone can know definitely whether he is still a championship possibility. There is a chance for him still, for McGovern is only 28. Robson ought to be an easy one to start with. Two years ago he made Tommy Murphy extend himself, but he is going back. He has been fighting often. He is fast and clever. He can use a left jab neatly. But he can’t hurt. If Robson should chance to stop McGov- ern in six rounds, Terry might as well go to driving a team, for it will be a sure sign that his old class has de- parted. eeu: Slap on wri t Knock Out. Robson’s last fight of note was a Joe Gans in Philadelphia. Gans played with him for a while and then knocked him: out, very neatly and scientifically, with @ rap on the wrist. That was a funny finish. Gans tapped Robson until he covered up. Robson refused to drop his guard, and Gans, seeing that the Finglishman’s hands were too close to his face, shot a right over against the back of Robson's open glove, driv- ing it against his jaw and dropping him for the count. Gans made Robson look like an ama- teur. Robson claimed that a badly twisted knee spoiled his footwork. It may have handicapped him, but the spectaters were satisfied that the light- weight champion would have made quick work of him in any case. And that’s what Terry McGovern will do, if he is right. If he is still a lit- tle slow, Robson will jab him for six rounds and get away with it. JACKSON AND CROWLEY WILL RUN FOR M. A.

Jackson will try for the five-mile event, while Crow- ley ig entered in several contests. Crow- ley is an allround star and will doubt- lesd land first in some one event. Jackson is one of the best distance runners the West has produced in a long time, and five miles is just his forte. Jackson was beaten in the M. A. C. Marathon race recently, by Hatch, Forshaw, and Thibeau, after coming into East St. Louis in second place. He had set his heart on going to the Olym- pic games and was downcast over his defeat in the distance run. Friends per- suaded him not to carry out his inten- tion of quitting athletics and induced him to try for the five-mile event at Chicago. Jackson should come close to winning this event. He leaves for Chi- cago tonight. REDS NOW APPEALING TO BROOKLYN FOR TWIRLERS Failure of Lobert Deal Keeps Gan- zel on Hunt for Curve Makers. Special to the.

Former Carlisle Man, Who Last Last Year Lead Wabash, Enters | Local Football Field. ‘Frank M. Cayou, the clever Carlisle man who last year made such a hit with his “Little’’ Giants from Wabash College—the only club that defeated Eddie Cochems’ team during the regular Season of 1907, has been engaged to coach the Washington University eleven next fall, according to information from the Pikeway school. Coach Blanchard feels that he was not properly supported during his tenure of office ag head coach at Washington and announced last fall that he would resign. Washington’s authorities, meantime, have been casting about for a director and hit upon Cayou. it is stated that no contract has yet been signed, but that Cayou has agreed to terms. Cayou, as a player, was one of the best in the West. That he has a knack of coaching was shown by his phenome- nal success with a team from little Wa- bash College. It took Michigan 48 min- utes to score against the Little Giants and the Ann Arbot team only won out through sheer advantage in weight. ‘ Last year Wabash played the St. Louis U. team and beat it,-11 to 10. Cochems’ men ran up and down the field in the first half, bewildering the Wabash men men by their variety of attack. In the second half, however, Cayou’s superbly conditioned ‘athletes solved something of St. Louis’ style of play and held the big fellows of the Blue and White to no tally for the half, themselves rolling up Jl. They were all the result of acci- dents, however. The game sufficed to show that Cayou is a first-class coach; and his advent to St. Louis may mean that Cochems and his eleven will not dominate the field so much as it has for the past two years.

Over 100 athletes will take part to- day in the préliminary heats of the In- terschelastic League championship races which will be run off this afternoon at the Stadium. The finals and important contests for the championships will take place May 30. Every school of the league, except the Western Military Academy, will be represented by a téam. The. cadets, owing to participation in the decora- tion day parade, will be unable to send a single representative. This afternoon the trials in the 100- yard dash, 2%-yard dash and the 12 and 220-yard hurdles will be held.

LOUIS secs WIFE: JOINS IN BRITON’S LAMENT — rr Mrs. Miles Tries to Explain Why Gould Won the Tennis Matches. LONDON, May 2%.—Comments of English sporting people to day show that they are in a both amuzed and bored frame of mind over the action of Mrs. Eustace Miles in coming to the defense of her husband for the defeat he re- ceived at the hands of young Jay Gould, court tennis champion. They are amused at the novelty of Mrs. Miles’ action, but they are bored for the fear that her lament will tend to strengthen Americans in the belief that they are poor losers. When Miles was defeated by Gould, two weeks ago, the English champion came out with an apology for his de- feat that was wonderfully amusing. It was to the effect that he did not hit the ball quite accurately. Then Gould turned in and defeated Miles again more decisively than in the former contest. Having exhausted his excuses in his first statement, Miles had to turn the job over to his wife, who has hastened into print with the declar- ation that her husband should be re- spected for his past performance; thaf he is just as good a player as ever, but that business cares prevented his practice, while Gould has a private court of his own to practice on at home and is a natural-born player.

That the game was at all close was due to misplays at critical times by the academy team. Central made but five safeties off Brewster and, coupled with three errors by the academy team, the Red and Black players looked like winners in the fourth inning, when they rolled up a total of three runs. A score, previously made in the first, made the total tally 4 to 0 against Smith. Then the academy playcrs began to find Rowan and, in the eighth, a homc run drive by Morse, with Moriarity on base, brought in the runs that tied the score. In the ninth Smith put the winning run across. Rozier singled and atole second. Wait was walked and Delano then hammered out the hit that scored Rozier. Smith’s victory assures McKinley High a hard game Saturday. Smith has played but two games, one of which she lost through the absence from the game of some-of the best "nen. A victory Sat- urday will make it possible for Smith to earn a tie in the race, although a de- feat of McKinley, after that institu- tion's nine has beaten every other club in the race, will mean a virtual cham- pionship for Smith. 8 oriarity 3b ...+ rewster p. | mOmoOnmmmom NTRAL, CE AB.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS IN BRIEF CHICAGO, May 26.—Multiplying Hs- Sian fiy reports from Kansas and un- easiness over the winter wheat pros- pects in other directions have shaped a higher course for prices. Leading longs in corn and oats have covered shorts in whea¢t. Thé corn market had a stiff all-around advance today. Oats scored another advafice and were ae- tively traded in. July wheat closed 1%c higher, at 92%c; July corn, Se to 2%c higher, at 684% @OS%c. and May corn, 4%c higher, at T8%c. Oats clesed about ic higher.

Scared into covering their recent sales by a bullish turn to some of the routine news of the grain market, shorts In wheat were large and ‘continual buyers throughout Tués- day’s session, and. with the liberal buying incidental to a quite sensational bull cam- paign, assisted by this demand, prices ad- vanced in a very excited manner, All grains shared in the upward mvvement and the ¢lose showed gains of 1% @2%c for wheat, Ic to 2¢ for corm and %c to %e for oats.
