Ullmo, formerly a naval of- ficer, occurred at St. Roch Square here today, in the presence of an enormous crowd. The ceremony was the same as that to which Dreyfus was subjected in 1894. Ensign Ulimo was arrested at Toulon last October charged with being a spy. An examination of his effects showed him to be in possession of many valu- able documents. Last February he was found guilty by a courtmartial of attempting to sell na- val secrets to a foreign power and sentenced to life imprisonment in a fortress and to be degraded in rank. Thousands See. Degradation. Excursions were run into Toulon and thousands of people from the surround- ing country came in to witness the cere- mony. They packed the sidewalks and covered the adjacent roofs, walls and ramparts. The pressure of the crowds was s0 great that it threatened to sweep away the lines of soldiers and sailors drawn up around the square. After the troops had been re-inforced with two line regiments, a battery of artillery and two squadrons of cavalry, “Ulimo, wearing his uniform and sword, was led into the rectangle, where the commandant read the order that Ullmo had betrayed his country and was not worthy to wear its uniform. Two subalterns then took off his sword and stripped him of his chey- rons and buttons. One of the subalterns broke the sword across his knee and threw the broken blade at WUillmo's feet. . In Tears As He Marches, In this plight Ullmo was compelled to march at the head of a squad of soldiers around the rectangle amid the the crowd. He walked with his bare head sunk upon his breast and his eyes staring straight in front of him. Tears were stream- ing down his face. Several thousand recruits who wit- nessed Ulimo’s degradation were great- y impressed by the ceremony. Ul!mo will be deported to Devil's Island (Isle Guinea, in South Africa, where Maj. — was imprisoned from 1894 to RANEY DAZE IN POLITICS IS A PARTISAN OF BIG BILL; BIOGER THE BETTER FOR HIM THE TEMPERATURES, Midnight ....@6 8 a. m...... @ a a. m.......@ 10 — = aaa ~- .

HASH IS SCARCE SINCE HIGH WATER BEGAN TO RAISE POTATOES’ PRICE Cabbage and Green Peppers Close to Ground. Hash was a rare dish on_ the tables of St. Louis boarding houses Friday. The blessing of a hash~diet brightening as it took its flight, many boarders anxiously asked lahdladies and dining room maids the reason of its absence. “No, indeed, there’s no hash today,”’ replied more than one landlady emphat- ically. ‘“‘You all can have plenty of strawberry shortcake as long as the season lasts, ‘but don’t ask for hash with potatoes at $1.45 @ bushel and meat up 5 cents a pound.” As no way of making hash without potatoes ang meat has been discovered, the boarders had no reply to this foree- ful presentation of fact. Grocers say the price of potatoes, which has increased 40 cents In the last eight days, is likely to go up another 10 or 12 cents before it starts down. High water makes potatoes High-priced, the commission men say, as it keeps the farmer's boy from his favorite task of digging the tubers. Ham and bacon, as well as_ fresh meats, have also gone @p in the last few days, and the increase of some medium grades of beef amounts to 6 cents a pound. String beans have also increased in price by one-third, but other vegetables, the dealers say, are at reasonable prices. Cabbage is $1 a crate, hardly one-third of the price of a year ago. Green peppers are also cheap, and they go fine with a salad. GIRL WHIPPED BY MEN ACCUSES THEIR LEADER After Chastising Young Woman Mob Calls on Married Man and Warns Him. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 12.—Protesting In vain that some of those in the mob hed helped lead her astray a young girl named Craig was stripped by a crowd of men and horse whipped last night 17 miles west of Dickson, Tenn. As the leader was about to ply the lash the girl cried for mercy, saying: “You are one who helped lead me into the sins for which I am about to suf- fer. Won't you withhold your hand?” Her gray-headed parents pleaded for their daughter to no avail. The girl was finally allowed to go on the prom- ise that she would leave the country. After whipping the girl the mob called on a@ married man and threatened him with punishment if he ever misbehaved in future. Citizens of the community, which is ivolated, claim the girl was punished because she transferred her affections.

NEGRO WILL SECOND TAFT Booker T. Washington Plans It and Secretary Does Not Veto Move. By Wire from the Wasbington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, June 12.—The nomi- nation of Secretary Taft, at Chicago, is to be seconded by a negro, if the tentative plans of the Taft managers are not disarranged. Booker T. Washington had a confer- ence with Secretary Taft and informed him that this would be done unless he vetoes the proposition Secretary Taft said later that the matter was in the hands of his friends in Chicago, meaning Charlies P.

Platform. -———- FIGHT ANTI-T RUST LAW Vice-Presidential Booms Are Obscured by Talk of the Resolutions. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, CHICAGO, June 12.—Secretary Taft and the labor union Jeaders who have fought him are for the time being fight- ing shoulder to shoulder. Against them are the anti-Taft allies and the manu- facturing and corporate interests, of which James W. Van Cleave of St. Louis is a representative. The issue is the anti- injunction and the anti-trust law ex- emption amendment planks of the plat- form. The Taft managers, with the nomina- tion apparently nailed down, are now playing a conciliation game looking to the results next November. For a week they have been trying to make peace with the negroes, who threaten to bolt the Taft ticket. _By a vote of 19 to 16, the National Committee this afternoon seated the anti-Taft delegates from the Fifth Vir- ginia District. These two delegates are pledged to Foraker, and it was the first clean-cut vietory the “allies” had won before the committee since the decision in the Sixth Ohio District. It was hel@ that the convention of anti-Taft partisans in the Fifth Vir- ginia District was regular. Platform Now Paramount. Today the labor question came strongly to the front and platform talk easily is foremost, even outclassing the vice-presidential buzz. The Taft lead- ers and President Roosevelt want the labor vote as much as the negro vote. Therefore they have placed in their platforyn planks favoring relief for la- bor unions from Federal injunctions, and anti-trust law amerdments which will, to some extent, free the unions from the operatiun of the Sherman § anti-trust law. The allies and the manufacturing in- terests are opposing these two planks, and will carry their fight before the Resoluticns Committee of tlie conven- tion. Few persons believe they can carry their points against the Taft strength. Refuse Any Kird of Compromise. In order to control absolutely the Res- olutions Committee, the Taft people have refused te compromise any of the con- tests. Every time they add a con- tested State to their ranks they add one member to their strength in the Resolutions Committee. The statistics estimate that the Taft- Roosevelt wing of the party will have at least 14 majority on the Resolutions Committee, and with that strength they can put through any anti-injunction and anti-trust law amendment planks they see fit. The allies and the manufacturers are up against it. How far Taft and the labor leaders will fight together is the question that is most interesting to the politicians. Gompers to Take Up Fight. Samuel Gompers of the American Fed- eration of Labor, who is on his way here and will arrive tomorrow, wants an anti-injunction law that will abso- lutely prohibit the courts from issuing temporary injunctions until after a hearing of both sides in the case. Friends of Secretary Taft and the President never have gone that far, and are not expected to go that -far riow. They have favored merely a law pro- viding that injunctions should not be issued without a hearing, except when the Court regards immediate action as necesary to preserve property. Whole Question Up to Courts. This will leave the whole question at the discretion of the courts, and will fall far short of what the labor leaders want. The administration also has ap- proved a provision that a temporary in- junction issued without a “hearing should be effective only until a hearing of both sides was had and, that such a hearing must be given in five days. The purpose of such a provision is to prevent judges frem issuing emergency injunctions and then going away for their summer vacations before hearing the cases on their merits. The anti-Taft men, in view of these facts, are confident Taft and the labor leaders will not stand together to the end and that union labor will not get all it wants from Taft. The same condition Prevails as to the anti-trust law amend- ments. Mr. Gompers wants a prevision speci- fically excluding the labor unions from the operation of the Sherman law. “(ORE the Taft Men Offer.

Thrice has Daniel Matthews of Jer- seyville, Ill., nerved himself sufficiently to advance within sight of the marriagé altar, and thrice has his coyness im- pelled him to flight. He is trying to convince himself that on the fourth at- tempt, Sunday, June 21, he will at last conquer his timidity. Matthews is about 30 years old, and is caretaker of the Methodist Church at Jerseyville. His first matrimonial fiasco occurred two years ago, when he was engaged to marry Mrs. Mary Miller of Rosedale, Jersey County. On the day set for the wedding, the bride- groom-elect got a license. In a short time he returned out of breath, and told the clerk the instru- ment would not be used. A week later Mrs. Miller reproached him for his defection. “T think I might be- braver in Car- roliton,’’ replied he. So he and Mrs. Miller repaired to Car- rolton. Making his excuses to his flan- cee, he jumped on a passing train and returned to Jerseyville. Then Mrs. Mil- ler got mad and quit. Last New Year's eve Matthews watched the old year out in church with pretty Miss Mary Frazier, 24 years old, and took her home. A timid courtship followed, which her liking for him made easy. A cottage was rented on North Pleasant street, Jerseyville}; and furni- ture was purchased. A minister was summoned from East St. Louis last Sunday, and all arrange- ments for the wedding were made. Matthews felt his courage ebbing dis- mallya day by day as Sunday ap- proached. He slipped to his work at the church down alleys and back. streets, recon- noitering every crossing with fearful eyes. He ceaned visiting the postoffice, where a Wally letter from his fiancee awaited him. Finally, through his mother, he informed Miss Frazier of his unconquerable alarm at the thought of marriage, and asked to be released. The wedding did not occur, Mies Frazier at first was angry, and went to the furniture man and told him his goods would not be needed. He re- a tuntes the meen. at the eognee? were ped : GIVE ME}-ACHOO TRANSFER CHOOEY|.-WHER rr Sneezing Fit Strikes Tower Grove Car and It Stops Four Minutes. A street car on the Tower Grove line was stopped for four minutes Thursday afternoon to give the conductor and the passengers a chance to get over a sneez- ing fit. The car was going south and was filled. with shoppers. Conductor John Burns took a fare from a stout woman near the front. “Give me—a choo!” she said. “What's that, a choo?’’ answered the conductor. “Give me—a choo—Jefferson—choo— avenue—choo—transfer—a chooey, a chooey!”’ Conductor Follows Suit. By this time the conductor was sneez- ing so hard that he couldn't punch the transfer. Everybody else in the car was sneez- ing, too—all except a young man who sat in the rront seat. Seeing that. he would be unable to properly tend ris car while the sneezing fit was on, the conductor rang the bell for the motorman to stop. Men, women and children continued to sneeze—all but the young man in the front seat. This looked suspicious, The Rascal Escapes. Between gasps the conductor ran for- ward to nab the young man, but he was too late. The sneezéless passenger jumped from the car and ran east on Clark: avenue. When the passengers regained their composure and wiped their eyes, they reached the conclusion that the young man had scattered pepper or snuff, which was carried back through the car by the breeze. Adam: Linck, of 1062 Park avenue and his son William continued to sneeze after they reached home and they had to go to a drug store for treatment. $8,000,000,000 CROP SIGHTED WASHINGTON, June 12—The crops of 1908 will be worth nearly $8900,000,000, according to figures prepared by De-' partment of Agriculture officials.

FLOOD - BOUND PLANT BURNS: TWO ARE DEAD Loss in Kansas City Fire at Morris Packing House Will Be $250,000.

WATER ON EVERY SIDE

Firemen Are Hindered in T heir Work by Waters of the Kaw River.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 12.—Two laborers lost their lives, two others were seriously injured and a propérty loss estimated at between $250,000 and $350,000 was caused by two explosions 'followed by a fire in the packing plant ‘of Morris & Co. at Riverside, in Kan- gas City, Kan., today. The force of the explosion, which was ‘felt all over both Kansas Citys, ruined the cold-storage buildtmg and the fire ‘that followed destroyed the smokehouse with its contents. An explosion of sewer gas resulted when a watchman in one of the cold- storage departments lighted a match. This was followed by another and much more serious explosion caused by the 4gnition of a quantity of gas nearby and a stubborn fire soon started. Firemen Work Five Hours, The Morris plant is near the channel of the Kaw River and, ‘being in the center of the’ flooded district, is in a ewift current of water from six to eight feet-deep. This condition made the task of fighting the fire most difficult and it required five hours te place the flames under control. For a time the entire plant seemed doomed. Fire apparata® Was transported to the scene after muci: delay by means of flat cars. There were 50 men in the plant when the explosions occurred, but all except. four escaped. Two of these were killed instantly and two others were badly mangled. Ii is impossible at this time to estimate the Joss on the meat destroyed, but that on the buildings is estimated at $200,000. Flood Blocks the Engines. Because of the flood the firemen were unable to reach nearer than within two blocks of the huge buildings with their appayatus. Aid was asked of the Mis- gouri side, but the engines frem there could not get across the flooded dis- trict. : The sausage department was the first to go. The contents of this building fur- nished much inflammable material for the flames and when the first streams could be turned upon the fire, this sec- tion of the plant was doomed. Telephone communication with the gcene was impossible, the wire service having been destroyed by the flood, and it is difficult to gain an accurate esti- mate of the damage at this time.

Mrs. Henrietta Parsons Gill, repre- senting the . Federation of Women’s Clubs, conferred with Health Commis- sioner Bond Friday to enlist his aid in the proposed city cleaning June 22, 23 and 24. Dr. Bond assured her that he will give the women every aid in his power and will. devise rules to govern the cleaning., He showed her a draft of a circular letter, which, he says, he will send to all property owners and told her that he will assign 30 men to ac- compary the club women on their round of inspection. Street Commissioner Travilla has al- ready promised Mrs. Gill and her asso- clates to have 300 teams and 1000 men ready on June 2% to’ clean away the rub- bish gathered during the two preceding days. Now'‘the women are interested in get- ting all possible assistance in making these rubbish piles as large and numer- ous’ as possible. No Trash Will Escape. It is the hope of Mrs. Gill and her associates to have every tin can, every discarded bottle, every deserted box, every outcast piece of paper, every homeless stick, picked up, from streets, alleys, lots and yards, and so placed in heaps and bundles that Mr. Travil- la‘s men can carry them away and dump them in the river. With the assistance of Supt. Blewett of the public schools and the heads of el! the private and parochial schools, Mrs. Gill hopes to enlist all the chil- dren of St. Louls in the three days’ campaign to convert St. Louls into a clean city, if not a city beautiful. An Automobile Patrol, A committee of club women proposes to tour the city in automobiles during the three days, attired in “white wings” costumes, directing the work of rub- bish collecting. Capt. McCulloch has promised that the United Railways wiif aid the campaign by carrying signs on all its street cars reading: ‘«'or a clean city June 24. Get busy.”’ Associated with Mrs. Gill on the com- mittee are Mrs. George J. Frankel, Mrs. J. T. Rogers, Mrs. W. C. Rumsey and Mrs. H. M. Cole. The committee will meet at the Planters Hotel Monday morning to make final arrangements for the clean- ing. The committee represents the art section of the St. Louis Federation of Women’s Clubs.

ALTON MEN WhO 10 PAY COSTS ~~ wr Stork Mayor Among 15 Held Responsible for. Keeping Negroes From School.

Fifteen Alton men, including Stork Mayor Beall, must pay the State of Il- linois $2508.57 as the costs of the court contest started by the refusal of the Al- ton School Board, 10 years ago, to admit the children of Scott Bibb, a negro, to the schools. The School Board was appointed by the Council, so the members of that body, with Henry Brueggeman, then Mayor, were held responsible for the costs, Bibb having won the case after the children he sought to have educated were grown. The decision holding the 15 men re- sponsible for the costs was handed down by Chief Justice Hand of the Supreme Court in Springfield. The only recourse of the defendants will be to get a relief bill passed by the present Council fer their reimbursement. The case went to the Supreme Court five times before fin- al adjudicatien. All the members of the Council of 10| years ago are living in Alton. Nearly all are prosperous and a mafority &re still prominent in public affairs. The 14 named in the Supreme Court’s execution with former Mayor Brueggeman, are George Burton, Fred Bolbracht, T. J. Bowman, George Marsn, Alex Waggen- er, H. A.

IS EFFECTIVE FROM JUNE 12 Secretary Cortelyou Announc- es the Fact in Treasury De- partment Circular.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—Secretary Cortelyou today made public a Treas- ury Department circular carrying into effect the new currency act. The Sec- retary calls attention to the fact that the act provides two methods of apply- ing for additional national bank cur- rency, Banks occupying contiguous ter- ritory may organize currency associa- tions, providing there are at least ten bank's in each association with minimum aggregate capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000, while the individual banks must have an unimpaired capital and surplus of not less than 20 per cent. Any member of such an association without standing circulating notes of not less than 40 per cent of its capital may obtain additional circulating notes under section 1 of the act. National banks of the same standing as to the capital and surplus, but not members of an association, may obtain additional circulation under section 3 of the act. In -order that all national banks entitleqd to take out additional circulation may join currency asso- ciations, the Secretary of the Treas- ury reserves right to add to, and include in, the territory of an as- sociation any contiguous territory containing national banks which would otherwise be excluded from or incon- veniently located as to a national cur- rency association. The names of the associations must be indicative of the locality, and an association may not style itself “First National Currency Association.”’ The Treasury Department will furnish blanks upon which banks may file ap- plication for joining an association and prompt py igh Adve or disapproval is prom- ised by the Treasury Department. A table is included in the circular showing-_by states_the amount of capital and surplus of national banks entitled to membership in the currency associa- tion arranged by states and sections. The table shows that the national banks within some of the states are not eligi- ble to form by themselves currency as- sociations for lack of aggregate capital and surplus, so they must be affiliated with banks in contiguous states for that purpose. The Secretary will not at this time a)- lot any territory for the formation for associations other than as indicated in his circular. It. is thought that the banks may prefer to come together of their own volition and it is preferable that State lines’ be observed as far as practicable and that banks should not apply for admission to associations not orn ne contiguous territory. The Secretary may assign to an as- sociation any qualified.national bank which did not take part in its forma- tion. A subsequent circular will define the method to be followed in obtaining additional circulation through the na- tienal bank currency associations, to- day’s circular relating entirely to their organization. he individual banks of the associa- tien, however, desiring: to obtain ad- ditional circulation must submit their applications to the officers of the as- sociation and not to the Secretary of the Treasury ahd those officers will ap- ply to the department. Applications for additional circula- tion under section 3 by individual banks not members of associations may be ad- dressed to the Comptroller of the Cur- sency, who bh advise them as to the proce es ik One. per cent per annum upon average monthly amount of public de ts “held will be paid by de- ositor a. to be computed from speek ihe 908, and to be payable July year, and thereafter on Jan. 1 Py culy l annually. Interest will be paid on = ¢ entire amount held by tem- porary fal depositories, and on the ri Mtns Fi eld by regular depositories in excess of the amount needed for the transaction of public business. Each bank will be advised by letter of the amount of ite exemption. Finally, the secretary reserves e right, upen no- tice, ‘3 increase the rate of interest to be paid by depositories. WOMEN HAVE TWO SOULS AND THEREFORE. ARE FICKLE AND ERRATIC, SAYS AN EXPERT Special to the Post-Dispatch. 7 BOSTON, June 12.-Women can have two souls, perhaps more, according to President G. Stanley Hall of Clark Uni- versity. He gave this as the explanation of the “fickleness’’ of women, of her “erratic methods of jumping at conclusions, and her intuition’ in his address on ‘‘psy- chotherapeutics’’ before the graduating class of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. ‘Woman is much more susceptible than map,” he said. “There is a good reason for this. We know that she has two or more souls. She may love and hate at the same time and the same per- on. She may sayerthink that she is sick or well when the reverse is true. It means simply that one soul is in the ascendency. These two souls may be absolute strangers to each other, but they certainly exist. We have proved it peyond the shadow of a doubt.” PAULEY, ASKING TO 60 10 PENITENTIARY, IS SENTENCED Others Indicted in Straw Bond Conspiracy Are Paroled by Judge Fisher. ‘pr.” Edward B. Pauley went into Judge Fisher’s court Friday and asked that he be sent to the Penitentiary at once. He was convicted of forgery in connection with the straw bond conspir- acy Thursday and his punishment was fixed at three years. Judge Fisher granted his request, passing sentence on him and remanding him to Jail to wait until the next de- tachment of prisoners is taken to Jef- ferson City. It Is said at the Four Courts the other 13 indictments against him will be held in abeyance. Frank J. Phillips and Charlies Young- love, who testified for the State and made Pauley’s conviction possible, were permitted to plead guilty to forgery friday. They were sentenced to serve two years and were paroled by Judge Fisher. No disposition has yet been made of

GIVES. BILLIK LEASE ON LIFE ws Allows Attorneys to Appeal to}% United States Supreme Court for Writ.

5000 People Gathered About Jail Cheer When Re- prieve Comes. CHICAGO, June 12—Herman Billik, the Bohemian fortune teller, who was condemned to be hanged at 11 a. m. to- day for the murder of five members of the Vrzal family, received a stay of execution unti] he has been afforded an opportunity appeal his case to the Supreme Co.. of the United States. Judge Landis of the United States Dis- trict Court, who yesterday declined to grant a writ of habeas corpus in favor of Billik, today decided that the prisoner had the right to appeal from his deci- sion denying the writ. The case will now be carried to the highest Federal trib- unal, and Billik will receive a respite until that body has passed upon the cbn- stitutional question involved. Deneéen Dismisses Petition, At 1 o’clock this afternoon Gov. Deneen and the State Board of Par- dons dismissed the petition before it for the commutation of the sentence of Billik. This action came when the Board received the confirmation over the telephone from State's Attorney Healy that: Judge Landis had granted the appeal to the Supreme Court and had made it a stay of execution. These two slender chances of saving Bilux’s life were the result of work by Billik’s friends under great difficul- ties yesterday and last night. The meeting at Gov. Deneen’s house at mid- night resulted from the serfes of mass meetings conducted in Billik’s behalf by the Rev. P. J. O'Callaghan yester- day. At one of these meetings Edna Billik, the prisener’s 10-year-old daughter, pleaded with the crowd to try to save her father’s life, and then fainted. In- stantly 10 persons, all influential, arose in the audience and volunteered to go to Springfield by the first train to plead with the Gevernor. Billik sat in his cell until 2 a. m. with Father O’Callaghan, preparing for death. When he arose at 6:15 he went ‘at once to the window of his cell. It was a beautiful morning. ‘Look at the sun,”’ he cried. it beautiful?’”’ He tried to say more, but could not, and sat on his bunk with bowed head. His Wife Visits Him, Then Billik’s wife and daughter and little son came. They were not per- mitted to see Billik. They said their farewells when they visited the doomed man yesterday. Jailer Davis declared he believed Bil- lik was innocent. At an early hour ev- erything was ready for the execution. Shortly after he arose Billik received a photograph of his mother, taken at Cleveland yesterday, and sent to Billik, at her request. The photograph showed the aged mother sitting at the telephone when she talked to her son yesterday. Statement by Landis. In granting the stay of execution to Billik, Judge Landis said: “Yesterday I was informed by the State that the United States Supreme Court had passed upon this question, but I find upon investigation that it has not. I say to you candidly, that if I was convinced that I might exercise discretion in granting this appeal, I would deny it, but I cannot find that I have any authority to deny it. I do not believe that there is any merit in the questions raised by the petitioner, but I have before me a cold legal proposition, and I have no right to con- strue the law but as I find it.” READY FOR HANGING| “Isn't i

ARTISTS SHUNNED BY TAFT _ -. », '-~ Fr

They Don’t Look as Good as Black-and-Tan Southern Delegations to Brother Charles P., Who Dodges ’Em in Annex.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, June 12.—Charlies P. Taft, who is financing his big brother's presi- dential campaign, is a newspaper pub- lisher and sas newspaper artists and photographers in his employ. But he cannot take his own medicine without | wincing. It is a dull hour when there are not half a dozen artists hiding behind pil- lars in the Annex lobby putting some- body’s facial makeup on paper. Mr. Taft naturally is a frequent subject of their attention and it makes him nerv- ous. Last night Mr. Taft was having a little talk with his brother’s Ohio man- ager, Mr. Vorys, when an artist hid behind them to sketch a man who steed behind them. Mr. Taft saw the artist scratching away ahd thought he himself was the victim. He began to dodge, playing a game of hide-and-seek around Mr. Vorys’ bulky form. The two men made three or four circles areund one an- other before they discovered that the artist didn’t seem to be a bit werried, but was looking at somebody else. Then they settled down to their talk and continued to furnish a hiding place for the artist. 7 ‘ho in Washington. s | : ' ;

RO pia > Bat, ws: aa Senator Piles of Washington is thor- oughly qualified to succeed Vice-Presi- dent Fairbanks. His boom was suggest- ed yesterday by Senator Borah of Ida- Senator Piles ap- peared in the hotel lobbies today, bun- died in a big overcoat and looking frozen to death. “Cold as an iceberg and right In the Fairbanks class,’’ commented a by- stander. The Third party, as the negro move- ment to bolt Taft 1s called, wants a presidential candidate whe won't be hurt by taking the nomination and be- ing run over. There are a few white men in the movement, notably .T. M. Blodgett and J. M, Elders ef Geor- gia. Mr. Blodgett said that a national com- mittee had been named and that it had a member from every state. “Who are some of them?’’ a: ked. “Well, I don’t know, except that Mr. Lidcrs represents Georgia. I don’t know who'll be the chairman, but we’re going to elect a Democrat if Taft is he was

nominated. We can swing Indiana, Ken- tucky, New York, Delaware, Maryland and a lot of other states, Missouri for instance, by carrying the negro vote.” When it was suggested that Mis- sourt wouldn’t need much swinging to make it Democratic, Mr. Blodgett re- plied that the Taft people were talking about carrying it anyway. The Taft cause is not without many negro supporters, and during the past few days a corps of glib negro talkers has worked constanfly among the dis- gruntied negro delegates here, trying to cenvince them to stay with the Grand Ojd Party. Their arguments have been the most heated of the, pré-convention period. One six-feot 200-pound negro preacher in freck coat and slouch hat was the center of a crowd of 580 enemies this afternoon when he preached this ser- mon: ‘You men ah makin’ of a great mis- take in dis yeah campayn. You'll re- pent when you git back home. With dis yeah currency bizness and these labor troubles in de country what do you mean by turni: the country ever to the Democrats? Don’t you know yon’'se stirrin’ up trouble when you ‘rouse up de admiration of the country for the Democrats? Why do vou want to try and help the men what's nevah helped vou Instead of helpin’ the men what's helped you a little bit any way? I tell you, you ‘ll be sorry when you git home.’ “Oh, dat’s all fairy tale,’’ shouted back an anti-Taft negro. Who owns the silk hat? That's the question agitating the Coli- seum workers who have had daily to study the throng of Southern negroes cttending the meetings of the National Committee. Each day there has been only one silk hat in the crowd, but it is not always on the same head. The man that wears it one day is in a srouch hat the next and another in the silk. And it looxs like the same silk hat. H. Clay Evans, former Pension Com- missioner and leader of the successful Tennessee delegation, stood in the Coliseum lobby crowd when John R. Malloy, the convention secretary, an- rounced the Evans victory before_the conimittee. Mr. Malloy is famous as the man with the big voicc. When he had finished the announce- n ent Peg Evans stepped forward, grasped Malloy’s hand and said: “What would I be if I had that voice ef yours?’ wevernor of Tennessee,” replied Mal loy, quick as a flash. Evans hurried away while the crowd cheered Malloy’s shot, for Evans has had ambitions in that direction.

kind of Federal supervision of the unions. ment of the Taft The present =“ forces and the allies on opposite sides of the eaahaateieation question is really the same alignment that prevailed at Washington all winter. It is the White House against Congress. President Roosevelt wanted anti-in- junction legislation. Congress, to which the allies, Cannon, Knox and Fairbanks, belonged, opposed him and in Congress they won their fight. The Taft man- agers are confident that they will lose here. _ Attorney-General Wade H. Ellis of Ohio, with the draft of the platform, has etrived. He was found last night by Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who will champion the Roosevelt ideas in the Resolutions Committee. With Gom- pers here tomorrow with the Executive Countil of the American Federation of Labor, all will begin werk for their cause. They expect to appear before the Resolutions Committee next Tues- day. On the other side, attorneys and cor- roration representatives are busy. Con- ferences are following ‘one another in rapiag succession in the various head- quarters and attorneys’ rooms. The fight promises to be the most bitter still remaining for the convention. Lowden Gets in Running. Frank O. Lowden, son-in-law of the late George M. Pullman, who was de- feated for Governor of Illinois four years ago by Gov. Deneen, is again fair- ly in the running as the result of a deal pulled off here last night. Mr. Lowden is the Illinois National Committeeman and wauts the place again as a prelimi- nary to entering the gubernatorial race against Deneen and former Gov. Rich- ard Yates. His chief opponent has been Fred W. Upham of Chicago, the Illinois Taft man, who cost Speaker Cannon two delegates from the First Illinois District. Upham had the support of the Chicago members of the Illinois delegation to the national convention and has been giving Lowden a real scare. The Lowden men appealed to the Il- linois delegation to oppose Upham, be- cause Upham had opposed Speaker Can- non’s candidacy. This was a strong argument until Senator Cullom arrived two days ago, and was not sure wheth- er he was for Lowden. Upham Runs to Cover. He thought both candidates were good men and Lowden at once put a small army of men to work to get Senator

Cullom on his side. The result became known last night, when Upham called on Lowden and told him he had decided not to make the race and would be for Lowden for committeeman. This outcome is of vital importance to the Yates gubernatorial campaign, ag Lowden will draw from the Yates’ strength, at the same time dividing the opposition to Deneen. Even Taft Wears Knox ‘Badge. The hotel lobbies took on their first real convention air Jast night when a host of Knox boomers arrived from Pennsylvania. Knox pictures and ban- ners were hung round all the lobby walls and to every pillar. Everybody wore a Knox badge, including Charles P. Taft and the other Taft boomers The Knox men themselves wore as many badges on thetfr brave breasts as a general of the Nicaraguan army. The other allies were not far behind. This morning Cannon and Fairbanks pictures began to crowd the Knox pictures in the hall lobbies. Wot a Taft picture has appeared yet but Taft badges made of aluminum, and bearing a face that looks Mke/AGeneral Grant’s, were placed on sale today. Hammond First on the Ground. John Hays Hammond was the first vice-presidential candidate to appear on the ground today. In company with John C. Montgomery of New York, who is in charge of the Hammond head- quarters, he went early to the Coliseum and mingled for a time with the mem- bers of the National Committee. When asked regarding the condition of his campaign, Mr. Hammond suid: “I can’t exactly consider myself in the lead, but I am-satisfed with the prog- ress made up to the present time.’’ Taft Men Are Seated. The first thing done by the National Committee teday was to consolidate the remaining contests in Texas and decide to hear all as one. Just before the Committee met there was a renewal of the altercation be- tween Chairman New and Arthur 8Stat- ter, a Taft proxy holder, over New’s charge that Statter had been giving out information in advance of official bulle- tins. Some rather ceo language passed. The Committee seated all the remain- ing Lyon-Taft delegates from Texas and then started on the Twenty-second Vir- ginia contests. The committee this afternoon seat- ed the Slemp-Tuaft delegates from the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth and Eighth Virginia districts. Hughes Will NOT Be Running Mate. ALBANY, N. Y., June 12.—Gov. Hughes, through his secretary, Rob- ert Fuller, made it clear today that under no circumstances would he ac- cept the nomination for Vice-Presi- dent. In résponse to a telegram re- ceived at the Executive Chamber re- questing the Governor to indicate his position on the nomination, Mr. Ful- ler sent tne following reply: “Gov. Hughes directs met to ack- nowledge receipt of your telegram. He recently stated his position in his letter to Gen. Woodford, which has been published. While he appreciates the distinction of the office and the honor which the nomination would confer, the Governor directs me to say that he cannot and will not under any circumstances, accept a nomination for the vice-presidency.” Taft to Stay in Capital. WASHINGTON, June 12.—Secretary Taft, after considering the matter of going to his nome in Cincinnati early next week and there receiving the news from the Republican Convention, an- nounced today that he would remain in Washington all of next week. CAMPAIGN BUTTONS QUTSHINE ALL ELSE The Republican Convention has reached the button and badge stage. From the appearance of the output to- day, the array will outshine all pre- vious campaigns. The first buttons noticed were those of Willlam H. Taft. The face of the smiling Secretary was done in a terra- cotta color on a tin plate the size of a saucer. The button was hung from a red, white and blue ribbon, with the word Taft in black letters across its face. The regulation Taft button is of terra cotta color the size of a dime. The Cannon button is small in size, brown in color and bears the two words, “Uncle Joe.’’ The Hughes buttons are small, of dark blue color, bearing the likeness of Gov. Hughes, and attached to. vari-colored ribbon. The Philander C. Knox buttons are about three inches in diameter with the face of Knox set inside a large keystone, representing his State—Penn- syivania. “Attached to one side of the button is a red, white and blue silk rib- bon. The word ‘‘Knox” appears on the upper pert of the keystone. he irbanks button is similar to that of the Taft button in size, color and material.

operation of the utilities themselves for the direct revenue that can be made out of them—that is only secondary. The main purpose of its control is to ob- tain exclusively all of the output of the securities of its subsidiary corporations, at its own price, and to market these securities at large and quick profits. By the ownership or control which it exercises it is able to cause the issuance from time to time of increased capitalization and bonds into its own hands; and the securities, when issued, it “runs off” to the public at prices made by itself. MILLIONS OF WATERED VALUATION. By forcing its made-to-order securities out of the St. Louis utility corpora: -tions, and particularly of the Union Electric Light and Power Co., by stretching their capitalization and pushing their bonded indebtedness to the utmost limit, the North American Company has laid the corporations, and consequently the public who pays the rates and charges, under the bulk and burden of millions of watered valuation. It is a general plan of the company to let the people, who buy the bonds of a given corporation, furnish in this way the money to erect the very plants that are to stand as security for the bonds thus purchased, while the stock 1s retained or disposed of for the benefit of the.promoters. This principle of let- | ting the people put up their own properties, whieh are then forced to yield dividends on the stock retained by the promoters but representing no original investment by them, has been the principle largely followed by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. With the exception of $3,000,000 paid for the Union’s last remaining com- petitor, the Laclede Power Co., which the promoters purchased and then turned in to the Union at $4,000,000, and with the further exception of $35,000 of stock in Union which they foreed Mr. Feuerbacher to take for his (little plant in Carondelet, in lieu of the $150,000 at which he valued it, there has never been a dollar paid into the treasury of this Union Electric Light and Power Co. on - account of the issuance of its capital stock. That is to say, the Laclede Power Co. and Mr. Feuerbacher’s company are the only properties that Union Electric has ever acquired which have not been acquired either from the earnings of the company or from the proceeds of the sale of bonds to the public. PROMOTERS GOT LION’S SHARE FREE. While the people were buying bonds for themselves, they were not only creating their own security, but they were presenting stock to the promoters, who enjoyed, free of cost, the lion’s share of the benefits of the enterprise. At the direction of the North American Company, sluices of water were opened, fictitious values were let into the Union Electric Light and Power Co, at most of the many stages of its formation. After it had swallowed every other electric energy concern doing business in the city and had perfected its monopoly the Union company increased its revenue accordingly—more than doubling it in the four years from 1903 to 1907 inclusive. By a statement dated April 27, 1908, of C. W. Wetmore, president of the North American Company and vice-president of Union Electric Light and Power _~ ©0., it appears that the earnings of Union Electric in 1903 were $1,422,896, and in 1907 were $2,855,417; the latter figure including the earnings of Laclede Power Co. This statement of Mr. Wetmore further declares that “dividends at the rate of 5 per cent were paid last year and during the present year are being paid at the rate of 6 per cent on $9,885,000 outstanding capital stock.” St. Louisans Were Let In to Avoid Costly War of Competition An outside concern like the great New Jersey corporation, the’ North Amer- ican,~ when it comes into the public utility field of a city, may either enter with hostility and @ savage purpose to “hog it all,” in which event it must come prepared to fight every step of the way with the most powerful men and interests of the community as its enemies; or it may come in peace and join hands with the intérests already occupying the field, thus securing men of local prominence and power to, fight what battles have to be fought, and bear the brunt of its defenge when it requires defenders. Coming into St. Louis, in 1901, the North American company. chose the latter and peaceful course. But the principal reason manifestly why North American preferred to ac- quire its control by agreement and purchase rather than by warfare and com- petition and cutting of rates was that it was interested primarily in selling securities; some securities had already been issued on the old individual proper- ties In St. Louis; warfare would injure the standing of those securities, and indirectly of future securities which North America would issue and handle, and it did not propose in any manner to give St. Louis electric securities a black eye on the market. PROCEEDS OF STOCK SALES TO BUILD UP MONOPOLY. In fact, it was from the proceeds of such securities that they intended to: create and build up their monopoly, and did create and build up their monopoly. The North American company acting through its agent, the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., in 1901, organized and secured the co-operation of a syndicate of 20 citizens. Breckenridge Jones, president of that trust company, in his tes- ‘timony given under oath in a case now pending (Morgan Jones vs. Missouri Edison et al.), describes these men as the ‘Mississippi Valley Trust Co. syn- . dicate.” Prior to the coming of North American the field of public utilities had been mainly occupied and controlled by these same men. They may be loosely described and they were known in earlier times as the “old Kinloch telephone crowd,” or the “Suburban Railway crowd." They were strongly represented in the Terminal Association and in the aggregate of associated but separate utilities; and as early as 1896, five years before North American's advent, they # had organized themselves into a syndicate, according to the testimony of Breckenridge Jones. He further states that at the same time that they bought the telephone and telegraph franchises of St. Louis they bought up also an electric light franchise that had been held by the Citizens Electric Light and Power Co,—"“with the idea that sometime or other they might possibly g0 into the electric light business in this city.’’ . yf ST. LOUIS SYNDICATE TO SHARE IN THE MONOPOLY. By agreement with the North American company the syndicate now newly

ee ’ Heury Nicolaus, Philip k, organized were to share equally with North American in acquiring a complete monopoly of electric energy companies in St. Louis. The names of these men have been brought to light, together with many other facts of importance to the public, through the Morgan Jones suit, which was brought by certain minority stockholders in an electric company to set aside a merger which the North American company and the syndicate had forced upon them against their will and over their protest. The syndicate was composed of 20 parts and the syndicate members were about twenty in number, though the number sometimes varied through a shifting of interests among themselves, Their names as stated under oath by C, Marquard Forster, or by Eugene H. Benoist, or by Philip Stock, or by Henry Semple Ames, or by other members of the syndicate themselves who were witnesses, are: e Watiawright, Au t Gehn HM.

The syndicate remained in- dropping tact, though with a varying personne 1, some original members out, while others or new ones came into their places, throughout the entire Series of mergers and acquisitions ending with a perfect monopoly. _ James Campbell An Active Independent Factor in Deals each one of the principal transactions leading up to the final monopoly Campbell, capitalist and broker, figured as an active independent factor. Campbell had eriginally owned the Municipal Electric Light and Power , Which was an are light concern on Nineteenth and Gratiot streets, that en- a city lNghting contract between tle years 188 and 1899: he was also .a owner in Laciede ower Co. and in Laclede Gaslight Co. jJeading to the u : va 5 5 i A ad i We: ' * : LOUIS, LIGHT TRUST SPREADS

————— How Mississippi Valley Trust “Carried” the Local Syndicate The testimony of Huttig, Forster, Jones and others of the syndicate mem- bers in the equity proceeding is that the Mississipi Valley Trust Co. financed the series of deals leading to the monopoly, for the syndicate, and that in the main it exrried them, requiring them to put up only a proportion of their ob- ligations from time to time. So far as the syndicate members were concerned, the transactions in the main were paper transactions and not cash transactions. On occasions when they were “called’’ for a pro rata of cash, they reimbursed themselves as promptly as possible py the issuance and.sale of bonds of the Citizens’ Elec- tric Light and Power Co. and the Union company, which they acquired. What cash they put up they merely advanced until the bonds should be sold. NOT WORRIED BY DETAILS. The rrcrabers testify that the trust company financed the operations from berinning to end, and that they, the members, gave io particular attention to the details of the meetings and various transaciions, all of which were con- ducted at the trust company. The members merely obligated themselves to the trust company and the trust company did the rest. August Gehner de- ‘individual underwriting.” Huttig LITTLE CASH PUT UP. In general, the trust company was able to finance and did finance the operations and exchanges without calling upon the members to put up cash. They obligated themselves and the trust company held their interests subject: to and as collateral for their obligations. In this manner it held first their stock in the Citizens’ company, which it later exchanged for stock in the Un- ion company, and afterwards issued them, in exchange, stock in the consollf- dated company, which is the Union Electric Light and Power Co. now in busi- Finally the stock of most of them was exchanged for North American stock, share for share, and this was the first stock that they actually received into their own hands. CLERKS AS DUMMY DIRECTORS. Their stock held by the trust com pany was from time to time voted by a voting trust composed of Jones & W alsh, representing the syndicate, and Wetmore & Sheldon, representing the N orth American.

Benoist, a member of the syndicate and also at the time an officer of the trust company, is as follows: Q. Do you recall being present at a meeting of the directors of the Citizens’ company on March 2%, 102, at which meeting a scheme fur consolid: tion with the Imperial was submitted? A. 1 don't remember the dates, put I remember that matter. being discussed. Q. Now, by whom was this agree- ment for consolifation submitted! A. I think by Mr. White and Mr. Wetmore. I don’t remember whether there was anyone else that wes at the meeting. Q. Who was Mr. White? A. Mr. White 1s connected at present with the

a safe deposit officer, a teller and a clerk. Page 134 of the Citizens’ minutes recites. “After further discussion, it was considered best that an Executive Com- mittee, consisting of three members of the syndicate, be appointed, with full power to negotiate and carry conclusions for negotiations with the North American Co. on behalf of the ayndicate, subject to the approval of the offi- clals of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., who are party to any consolidation acheme under the agreement signed between members of the syndicate and the said Mississippi Valley Trust Co.; and that the chairman of the syndicate take the necessary steps to have said committee appointed with- out delay, and such other necessary steps as, im his judgment, may be re- quired to carry out the meaning and intent of the Executive Committee's North American Co. Q. Do you recall Mr Wales. reading at that meeting the scheme for consolli- dation submitted by the North American Co? A. I know the matter was dis- cussed. I dou’t remember who read it, or whether it was read or not. Benoist Kept No Record. Q. Did you get anything at aii for your syndicate holding?

In September, 1903, this Union company was merged with the Missouri-Edison company, a_ $4,000,000 ¢orporation, thereby forming the present trust, the Union Electric Light and Power Co., which has an authorized bond issue of $50,000,000, of which $15,- 500,000 is outsanding, and a capital stock of $15,000,000, of which $9,885,000 is out- standing and drawing 6 per cent divi- dends; the remaindér being retained in the treasury for the benefit of the com- pany.

Dr. Pedro Ilgen of St. Louis in the Opera House at Sedalia, Mo., on the eve of the local option electton there, is given credit by both ‘‘wets’’ and “drys’’ with defeating the attempt to add that city to the arid sections of the State. After a bitterly fought battle, in which women and children elec- tioneered for prohibition, the ‘‘wets’’ carried the election by 848 votes Thurs- day. , Dr. lIlgen, whenever he appeared on the streets, was immediately besieged by women, who reproached him for his position in the fight. ‘It's unbecoming for a minister of the gospel to speak in behalf of the cause of strong drink,” several unbraided him hotly. . “T am for temperance, or internal re- form,'’ retorted he, ‘‘not for prohibition and enforced reform from the outside.” ‘We can't understand how you find it possible to take the stand you do,” said other fair workers. “I believe in liberty, not tyranny,” was his reply. Gat “Suppose Christ should attend a pro- hibition meeting,’ the minister had de- clared in an eloquent peroration. “He would stand at the doors of these mod- ern Pharisees, covering his face with his hands, and ask: Calls Prohibition Creed Narrow. ‘‘*Are ye the teachers of my Gospel, the Gwspel of love and, joy, of self- @irected morality? I gave you the Gos- pel of Christian liberty, of the noble deed, and ye teach a narrow, intolerant ‘creed, 3 ‘In place of the freedom of the, Gos- pel, ye have set up prison walls for the soul, “T told you: ‘Man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man’s sake.’ Ye have condemned the laborer who, after a strenuous week’s work and an hour spent in re- ligious worship, seeks, an afternoon's recreation and perhaps commits— the crime of drinking a glass of beer. “Tl myself took part in the pleasure of happy people; I ate and drank with them. Therefore the Pharisees called me ‘wine bibber’ and ‘debauchee.’ “Modern Hypocrites” Also. “‘¥, would prohibit your’ brethren eating and drinking that which you do not eat and drink, O ye modern hypo- crites' Have I ever prohibited the use of or condemned any gift of my Fa- ther?’ *’ This ardent plea for his cause im- pressed even the women among Dr. Il- gen’s audience, and there was much applause, though not unniinglec with hisses. The sermon erded with the as- gertion that prohibition means tyranny. “From within comes true refcrm,”’ said tne ninister, “not from without. All :he great Christian churches have laid great etress on self-restraint, not out- ward compulsion, as the true means of reform. ‘The evils of drunkenness they have sought to remedy by Christian pa- tience and helpfulness, by brotherly love A racing runabout auto that was be- ing driven at the rate of 53) miles an hour by a demonstrator to show a prospective purchaser what it could do, ran off the road in Tower Grove Park last night, crashed through the bushes and stopped within a few inches of a big tree. Spencer Morton, 4518 Washington boulevard, who was in the rumble, was thrown from the car and his right ankle was broken. Henry O'Hara, 4323 Lin- dell boulevard, who was contemplating the purchase of the car, was scratched badly by the shrubbery. The demon- strator of the car, which was a Stod- dard-Dayton, was unhurt. Starts After Red Light. The accident occurred about 200 yards from the Grand avenue entrance, The machine had turned into the park and the driver, seeing the red light of an- other machine ahead, started out in pursuit. When the first turn was reached the speed indicator had reached the 50-mile- an-hour mark. He tried to hold the turn, but as the car tilted and began running on two wheels he straightened the _ steering wheel and let the machine run off the road. Tree Torn Up by Impact. One small tree was torn out by the roots by the front of the car. The right front wheel was torn off just before the car Was brought to a stop. Thomas Dooley Jr., son of General Manager Dooley of the’ American Car and Foundry Co., was driving the car ahead, which tH® demonstrator of the runabout was endeavoring to overtake. Young Dooley has had iis car but a week, and was letting it out to keep the runabout from catching him. When Dooley heard the shou of those in the ill-fated runabout he stopped, came back and put Morton and the others in his machine and drove them rapidly to the office of Dr. Charles Shattinger, 2924 South Grand avenue. Morton then was taken home.

and St. Charle street. A prominent Eastern manufacturer of MEN’S FINE CLOTHING who was pressed for cash to meet his bills sent us his entire surplus stock of Men’s Summer Suits with this message: “SELL IT AT YOUR OWN PRICE—I MUST HAVE MONEY AT ONCE.” This is the story in a nutshell. The goods are here and to this $40,000 stock we have added another stock of the celebrated HART SCHAFFNER & MARX MEN’S FINEST SUITS, making this the largest and finest stock of Men’s Clothing ever offered in St. Louis by any store, and at prices that would be impossible to other merchants selling good clothing. All other sales pale into insig- nificance when classed with this one, and the crowds at this store Saturday ‘will attest to the ridiculously low prices which we will offer on these finest makes of Men’s Clothing. Every gar- ment is guaranteed to be this season’s make and if not satisfactory can be returned and — will be refunded. This Season’s High-Grade | en's and Young Men's Suits -

Stahl Bros. decided to discontinue carrying clothing and to confine themselves exclusively to men’s haberdasherie. For quick action they came to Famous. Sh WJ They Sold Same to Us at About Half the Cost to Them—As We Buy—So We Sell The benefit of this special purchase will go to our patrons—and to every man in St. Louis who really appreciates buying some of the best made | clothing produced in this country—at about 1 its actual value—and we want to say—be on hand tomorrow—you will be well repaid by a visit to Out Great Clothing Floor.

The stock is well assorted, and gives you a selection of the most de- | sirable styles and the newest patterns in all: sorts of materials—fancy | worsteds and nobby cassimeres—snappy effects. Stahl’s made a spe- © cialty of Young Men’s Clothes, and these garments have a tone of re- finement combined with a touch of the youthful niftyness and ele- gance—in 2-piece and 3-piece styles—Spring and Summer weights. We Propose to Close Out This Stock in Record-Breaking Time These prices will move it—you will be surprised at the wonderful values—the best—for the price of the ordinary—come tomorrow and look over this. elegant assortment of decidedly fine Suits.

= | ST. LOUIS GIRLS IDEA. WOULD SEND NEGROES a. , Miss Zoe Akins Will Carry Plan to Republican Con- | vention.

a THREE YEARS’ STUDY

Daughter of National Commit- teeman Is Enthusiastic About Her Novel Idea.

Miss Zoe Akins, daughter of Repub- fWean National Committeeman Thomas J. Akins, has a plan to provide free homes for negroes in the Philippines and she is going to the convention in Chicago, in an effort to induce the convention to incorporate her idea in its platform. Miss Akins is seriously in earnest about her plan, and talks Philippine and negro statistics in a manner show- fing she has devoted months of study to all its features. To begin with, Miss Akins accepts two theories as conclusive: One itis that the negro problem is one ef the most important of the big problems facing the people of the United States, and that it is the duty of the Government to provide the negro with an opportunity to have a country of his own. The other is that the United States has the Phil- lipines, and that it should not permit those islands to become the property of land-grabbers. Her Idea in Brief. In substance Miss Akins’ idea is this: The United States should give negroes free transportation to the Philippines and provide each negro family with 100 acres of land and a home. A tax should then be imposed on the earnings of the negro’s farm, she believes, with the re- sult that the United States would re- oeive back what it had expended for the negro. “T am going to Chicago on the Taft special Sunday,” said Miss Akins, ‘‘ac- ecompanying my father and mother. I intend to ask the delegates, and the in- fluential men inthe party, to incor- porate my idea in the platform. I have already written a letter to Secretary Taft, explaining it to him. “Do I believe they will accept it? Well, of course I can’t say as te that. I believe it is a good idea. I have talked to at least 50 negroes about it, and they all seem to think it a capital idea. I have talked to several politicians about it, too, and nobody has thrown cold water on it so far. I have not had an oppor- with my father, though he understands in a general way what it is. Deportation Not Intended. “Do not for one moment gain the im- pression that I would propose to deport all the negroes to the Philippines. I am not in favor of that. I would let them stay as long as they wanted to, and then permit them to return to the Unit- ea States. “There is a_pweed for the elevation of buildings as are needed. i - -——— + _————. ._— Tiss Zoe. 4 I do not fear any war between the whites and the blacks, and as for an amalgamation of the races, that is im- possible. “The white man took the negro from his country and planted him here. It is the duty of the white man to provide him with a*country. The Philippines are large enough and consist of valu- able farming lands and mineral lands. “I believe the Government should set aside colonies in the Philippines and ar- range for transportation. Each coleny should consist of about 1000 persons. In the center, the Government: should build a scho@ house and such Government The colony should be controlled for the first year by a negro appointed by the Govern- ment. After the first year each colony should be permitted to elect its own governing officers. “The negro in such a place could work for himself. In this country he can never be much more than.a laborer, Such a plan, as I suggest, will result in the elevation of the race, as it will per- mit the negro to own property and to absolutely control his own affairs. To Restrict Property. ‘T weuld have it so arranged that the negro could not dispose of his pro- perty except under certain restrictions. These would prevent land-grabbers from swindling the negroes and obtaining control of the land in the Philippines. “If a negro wished to return to this country and lease his property I would

AKINS STRAUSS PORTRAIT

Co sora Scr ee aad ah, “‘Have I considered the cost of this plan? Yes, to some extent. I do not believe it would cost more than it cost to care for the Indians, while the re- sults would be greatly. different. The Indians, under the plan carried out by the Government, have decreased in num- bers and their race has been killed. In a few years it will be extinct. The negro has a right to have his race perpetuated. In this country, I am told, disease makes great ravages among the color- ed people. They are naturally a people for a warm climate. That is their home. Miss Akins first conceived her plan nearly three years ago, when she read a short story telling of the negro’s love for the Philippines, and that many ne- gro soldiers remained there after being discharged from the army. Miss Akins graduated from Hosmer Hall five years ago. She was then 17 years old. She has made a study of sociological problems and has devoted much time for the past three-years, in considering the negro problem.

Have Solved ‘ Problem of Equilibrium and Hopes to Prove It. GIRARD, Kan., June .—Henry Lau- rens Call is building an airship, pat- terned after a bird, which he expects to have ready for its trial flight within thirty days. The inventor claims that he has solved the problem of equilibri- um and that he will be able to steer his ship up or down or in any. other di- rection. The airship will resemble a bird in flight, representing the head and neck, can be raised or lowered by the opera- tor.

There are two large rudders over the center of the main body of the ship and near the base on each side are two smaller rudders. Tie rudders are all controlled by a windlass near the front of the body of the ship and are used for guides. On each side of the main structure above the side rudders

TEIN SAYS SHE IS DAUGHTER O 0.4. P BELMONT Natica Rives Burden Was Adopted After She Disap- peared, She Declares.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. GALVESTON, Tex., June 12.—A young woman, who says she is the only daugh- ter of the late Oliver H. P. Belmont,: will depart Saturday for New York to file her claim to her father’s estate. The press reports that Belmont’s only daughter, Mrs. William P. Burden, known in society prior to her marriage as Natica Rives, she having adopted the name of her stepfather, brought a statement from the claimant to the ef- fect that Mrs. Burden was an adopted Belmonts two years after the disappear- ance of the real daughter. As evidence of this claim, she has in her possession a letter presumed to be from her alleged father to a detective agency, in which he says his daughter is lost to him forever, and that her place hes been filled in the family circle, so far as the outside world is concerned. Promises to Prove It. “Flow I came into possession of this letter,”’ said the young woman, who as- serts that her name is Sarah Whiting Belmont Clarke, “concerns me alone, ‘put I will prove its authenticity at the proper time. If you will examine the New York World’s Almanac in the fam- ily records of ‘Anferican multi-millton- aires’ you will notice after O. H. P. Bel- mont’s name the record of ‘a daughter’ born to him. “There is no date of birth or of mar- riage or of death of his daughter record- ed there, as is the case with all the other family records. “According to the press dispatches, this daughter is reported to have been married and to have died. Why this blank record? I merely refer to this to show that there has been an officiai report published annually for many years, showing that my father had a daughter, but this recoru ends there.”’ Shows Two Portraits. . The young woman says she was born March 4, 1884, and she exhibits a gold

says, is the likeness of her mother, Sarah Whiting Belmont, and the other the picture of herself when she was 2 or 4 years old. She declares she had documentary evidence to prove her identity. “Once in New York,” she said. “I. wifi find many that knew me and know that I was living at least up to five or six years ago. I have not led an en- viable life, and I have seen reverses, and I am to blame, but I can easily prove that I am the only daughter of O. H. P. Belmont.” . MRS. AMY J, COGGSWELL WEDS OR. CHARLES J, DIGGES The friends of Mrs. Amy Josephine Coggswell, widow of W.-H. Coggswell, a prominent commission merchant, have just learned that she was married Wednesday night to Dr. Charles J. F. Digges at the home of Dr, Robert J. O’ Reilly, 27 Washington Terrace. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. ‘Charles F. Blaisdell of the Holy Com- munion Church. Dr. and Mrs. Digges are living at 3654 Page boulevard. They will live there until they depart in two weeks for an extended tour of Europe and the Continent. Dr. Digges had been a wid- ower for a number of years.

THE END OF HORSE RACING. The favorable action of the Senate of New York on the anti-racing bill is taken as the doom of racing in that State. In Louisiana the House of Representatives has passed an anti-racing bill by -an overwhelming majority and it is believed the bill. will become a law. With the abolition of racetrack gambling in these two states the “sport of kings” will probably be wiped out of this country. The abolition of American racetracks can only ‘be charged to the racetrack gamblers, into whose ‘hands many of the tracks fell and whose methods ‘made the tracks a nuisance and a menace in every ‘community in which they were maintained. Fall- ‘ing from its high estate as an honorable sport of ‘gentlemen, racing became a mere device for gam- ‘ ‘bling. The racing became an instrument of the gambling business, out of which enormous profits The greed of the gamblers killed The abolition of the kind of racing with its at- ‘tendant gambling evils, which disgraced many American tracks, marks a distinct advance in ‘public decency and morality. It means a diminu- tion of follies and crimes which accompany easy ‘gambling .opportunities and dishonest gambling “methods. , ‘pacetrack gambling, the abolition of the tracks In Missouri, which led the fight against ‘Bas been attended by such marked good effects ‘That 'no ene would dare suggest the revival of the hin i

He is blind, and “the doctors are working on his eyes with some ‘slight hope of restoring their sight, but Senator Gore Will pot send forth a wail of hopeless dis- . content in the event of their failure. | “I don’t want sympathy,” he says, sturdily. “I have never asked any man any odds, and I’ve taken all the hard knocks coming my way, just + as other people do.

Other blind men have done much more ) than I have, and still others will doubtless far ; outstrip me in the future. Sight is not the great- ' @st thing in the world, after all.” And the Senator is right. A greater thing than sight is his possession—a plucky soul that re- fuses to despair or even to repine under Fate’s bludgeoning. But precisely here is where most of us are far blinder than the Senator from Okla- _boma. We refuse to see that which he sees with his sightless eyes—the virtue and the duty of mak- - ing the best of life under whatever conditions we “must needs confront.

CIRCULATION GAINS | thinking of it all? The President of the National Brewers’ Assd- . Clation, assembled in Milwaukee, says for the _ Brewers that they “agree with all decent men” temperance. The charge that the Brewers are fighting for their own interest does not weaken the force of the vital truths expressed in their platform. But action speaks louder than words. The powerful influence of the brewers arrayed against the vicious saloon elements will do much to eliminate the basis of the strongest appeal for prohibition. Eliminate the abuses of the liquor business and the argument for prohibition falls. oo a 4 LET US HAVE ACTION. Continuing publications of the complaints of electricity consumers of exorbitant charges and hard conditions of service imposed upon them by the Union Blectric Light and Power Co. merely

lemphasize the ove ‘whelming proof of the necessity of just regulations. They give additional force to the unanswered and unanswerable arguments in favor of regulations and to the popular demand for a public utility commission to prepare the way for fair regulating ordinances. The practical approval by a majority in. both branches of the compromise plan of selecting a commission removes all obstacles to speedy and satisfactory action. Any member of either branch of the Assembly who opposes a fair measure o who attempts to juggle with the legislative ma- chinery in order to obstruct legislation will brand himself with the sign of subservience to monopoly and will demonstrate his hostility to the right- eous movement for the protection of the public from monopoly oppression. No excuse can be offered for opposition to a fair measure, nor will any excuse be accepted by the public. The demand is not only for action, but for prompt action. Today’s session of the Munio- ipal Assembly should mark a substantial ad- vance towards satisafctory legislation. An ac- ceptable bill should be perfected, introduced and put upon tts passage. The completion of the work before the summer vacation should be assured.

a A stampede is not a stampede unless it is spontaneous and on the spur of the moment. The allies who are said to be “arranging” the movement Should keep this in mind. THE COLORED VOTE. What is the negro vote worth? The colored population of Illinois in 1900 was 85,078. Using the census proportion of one voter to every 4.3 of the population, it appears there are about 20,000 black voters in that State. On this basis we must reckon with 14,000 black votes in Indiana, 23,000 in Ohio, 25,000 in New York, 3500 in Connecticut and 17,000 in New Jersey. Maryland has 50,000 colored votes, but probably they are not all cast. But there is enough to count in a close election. Nothing has been done by the Republican party to secure this vote since the fifteenth amend- ment was adopted. It has been cast, as a matter of course, for Republican candidates, and the party leaders appear to think ‘t will continue to be cast in the same way,’ automatically. But is it certain the black man will always be an automaton on election day? He has heard of Brownsville and he will hear how he was treat- ed at the Chicago Republican Convention in 1908 before election day comes around. What is he What will he do?

If Eugene Field were alive and in Chicago now he would probably give an amused and grateful world a revised version_of “The goblins’ll ketch you ef you don’t look out.*——____ The humorous provocation is there all right. It is found in the wild stampede of more or less prominent Republicans from the peril \of being “‘ketched” by their party’s nomination to the vice- presidency of these United States. For some years now this feature of national convention develop- ments has furnished the “comedy element” of such gatherings. “Who'll be the goat?”’—that's the game. Unhappily, however, Hugene Field is dead. It is also a hapless truth that the big American joke of suddenly seizing, binding and gagging some un- suspecting politician and forcing the vice-presi- dential nomination upon him whether he will or not promises to be funnier than ever. That is, it may seem so to the thoughtless—in reality, it isn’t at all funny, because it reveals a degraded conception of the second highest office within the gift of the American people. But near-presidential-size candidates refuse to regard the vice-presidency of the United States as anything more than a belittling jest, so there’s nothing to te done, perhaps, save to find and name the “goat.”

CHIEF CREECY’S INDIFFERENCE. Chief of Police Creecy doesn’t seem to care for his reputation as a modest man. Anthony Com- stock declares that he won’t allow any New York woman to wear the Directoire gown. But Col. Creecy says he doesn’t care a single blush what the women wear in St. Louis. . He is not a modest man; neither has he any civic pride, else he wouldn't let the early spring violet of New York be more particular than he is. This matter of womens raiment is one which every chief of police. should vigilantly watch. And it is most singular that our Chief confesses indifference. But perhaps he is not so singular.

It is frequently stated—once, recently, in the Sun- day Post-Dispatch—that cremation will no doubt be- come the future mode of disposal of dead bodies, be- cause of its cheapness, the cost being only $35. But people who are disposed to favor cremation ought to know that this $35 is over and above all the usual charges of the undertaker. For persons who cannot afford a lot, the cost of a grave is usually $10. This is $25 cheaper than cremation, without counting the undertaker’s charges. ECONOMY. Origin of Bottoms Gangsters. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Bottoms Gang of Fourth Police District beer canners has protean power due to the imagination of policemen. Most of the old gang is in Jail. The few members remaining outside are furtively quiet, But there are other young toughs who got their first taste of lawlessness in oelnarion and elections. Hard work by the police at such times will straighten them out and make sober citizens of material that, when a wild deed is committed might be loosely attributed to the extinguished gang. POLITICUSB. Speed Idiots. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch, I can't discriminate between a robber and a care- less, brainless idiot driving a machine. There is even an excuse for the robber. Hunger may drive him to do so, and the money he takes can be replaced. But the idiot who drives his machine at high speed in dan- gerous places, around schools where children are, simply for pleasure, knowing that at any time he may kill someone, is worse than any robber, because life cannot be restored.

In view of the many accidents occurring of late on our street railway system, is it not time that our city fathers were doing something in the way of safety legislation for the people? We have boiler inspectors, plumbing inspectors, plastering inspectors, licensed engineers, etc., but we have no protection from the overworked and nervous motorman and conductor, who man the cars of the United Railways Co.

They are put on the cars without any examination as to their mental qualifications or vision and are totally ignorant as to the, location of streets and public places. JOHN P. MARNELL. In Defense of Creve Coeur Yacht Club. To the Baiter of the Post-Dispatch. 2 Through your valuable paper it is the desire of the members of the Creve Coeur Yacht Club to acquaint the public with the true facts concerning the drown- ing of the unfortunate couple in Creve Coeur Lake Sunday, June 7. A Monday morning newspaper stated that members of the Creve Coeur Yacht Club wit- negesed this drowning and failed to attempt a rescue, prosuming that the couple was in shallow water. The only member of the club on the lake at that hour was Ex-Commodore W. F. Stewart, who was cruising about in a motor boat and was at least one- half a mile away when the accident happened. The accident happened about 6:30 p. m, When Mr. Stewart returned at 7 p. m. he was informed by yicnickers what had happened. He im- mediately manned a boat and recovered both bodies, then took them to the clubhouse, where he worked over them four hours in a vain attempt to restore life. That the members of the club are always on the alert for accidents of this character was fllus- trated on Sunday, May 31, when Commodore VY. H. Carter and Hecretary W. Gore rescued two fishermen who had capsized. The morning newspaper was giv- en an opportunity to correct its statement, but has failed to do so, hence our appeal to the Post-Dis- patoh, W. GORD, Secretary. A Pure Water Expert. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. | Please let me te]l you that I came from Bochun, Prussia. Am in this country about four years and my grandfather, who is now’9 years old, fs still liv- ing in Bochun. He has often told me, and it is also recorded in our family Boble, that his defunct great- grandfather, Johann Anton Machmueller, night watch- man of Bochun, cleaned the water of the town pond. Once in the summer in 1750 it was covered with a green and white scum and the Burgomaster ordered Johann Anton to remove it. He had read tn a book that like cures like, and so he thought he would try and take the green scum away with something green, and the white scum with something white. So he put in grass and white sand and when that did not work he tried many other green and white things. At last he put in gome green copperas and lime and then the water got as clear as crystal. My grandfather said the water was not fit for drinking and that even horses would not touch it. I think that Johann An- ton did not want to make it good enough for drink- ing, because there was lots of well water. After he had made this t invention, any old chemist who knew how could have found out in five minutes how many parts by weight of copperas and how many parts by weight of lime to take to make the water fit for Grinking. I hope that if St. Louls wants to pay a rewerd for clearing the river water I and the other heirs of Johann Anton Machmueller will not be forgotten.

From the St. Louis Mirror. Once again the Mirror would say that the Union Electric company should show one or two reduced gas bille.to justify its.claim that the new rate-making system is a good thing for others than itself. The readiness-to-serve theory is a “beaut.” The Mirror is ready to go into every heme in St. Louis. On the theory of readiness-to-serve, the Mirror therefore might send a bill for $2 to every home in the ¢ity. the light company charges every customer a ready- to-serve rate on the assumption that the people have a duty- to help pay the company’s fixed charges, whether they use the company's product or not. “If no one took our product,’ says the company, ‘we would lose money. Therefore, we charge everyone something just because we are here to serve him and if he didn’t want out service it wouldn't be out fault.”

“No,” gaid the Colonel, “the Indian custom of taking scalps has never been understood by the whites. No great significance has ever been attributed to it. It has been regarded as mere sav- agery with no better motive than sheer deviltry. “Now, that ts all wrong,”’ the Colo- nel continued. “Scalping had a specific significance, Barbarian though he was, the Indian was a very good student of human phenomena. He knew very well that no bald-headed man has any fight in him. Therefore, he realized that if he were to become a great warrior in the eyes of his people, he would have to bring home some evidence of having slain men with hair on their heads— in short, fighting men who were hard to handle. If he returned from war with no scalps, and merely reported twenty or thirty war-whoops slain by his hand, a good deal of suspicion at- tached to the probable age, prowess and size of his victims; but if hé brought home twenty or thirty male scalps that had never been ravaged by dandruff or thinned out by some hair renewer, there was no gainsaying his valor. “©, yes, there are bald-headed In- dians, but the race is in the main more courageous than our own, and baldness is comparatively rare.” The bugle blew, and the Colonel rode into the arena to shoot a few glass

The man was riding up a valley, and the bear was at an elk carcass near a clump of firs. As soon as it became aware of the approach of the horseman, while he was yet over a hundred yards. distant, it jumped on the carcass, looked at him a@ mement and then ran straight for him. There was no particular reason why it should have charged, for it was fat and in good trim, though when killed its head showed scars made by the teeth of rival grisiies. Apparently it had been living so well, principally on flesh, that it had become yquarrelseme, and perhaps its not over-sweet Aisposition had been soured by combats with others of its own kind. In yet another case a grisly charged with even less excuse. An old trapper, from whom I occasionally bought fur, was tolling up a mountain pass when he spied a big bear sitting on his haunches on the hillside above. The trapper shouted and waved his cap, whereupon, to his amazement, the bear uttered a loud “wough’’ and charged straizht down on him—only to fal! a vVietim to. misplaced bo.dness. I am even inclined to think that there have been wholly exceptional occasions when a grisly has attacked a man with the deliberate purpose of making a meal of him—when, in other words, it has etarted on the career of a man eater. At ieast, on any other theory I find it difficult to account for an attack which oluce came to my knowledge. I was at Sand Point, on Pend’ Oreille Lake, and met some French and Meti trappers, then in town with their bales of beaver, otter and sable. One of them, who gave his name as Batiste Lamoche, had his head twisted over to one side, the result of the bite of a bear. When the accident occurred he was out on a trapping trip with two companions. They had pitched camp right on the shore of a cove in a little lake and his comrades were off fishing in a dugout or pirogue. | »«-Seized by Bruin. .* He himself was sitting near the soore *by a little lean-to, watching some beaver ~ Meat which was sizzling over the dying * ‘embers.

A Cowboy Adventure In the other case the cowboy, a Texan, was mounted on a good cutting pony. * * * On rounding the corner of a small washout he almost ran over a bear which was feeding on the carcass of a steer that had died in an alkali Lole. After a moment of stunned sur- prise the bear hurled himself at the in- truder with furious impetuosity; while the cowboy, wheeling his horse on its haunches and dashing in the spurs, car- ried it just clear of his assailant’s head- long rush. After a few springs he reined in and once more wheeled half round, having drawn his revolver, only

to find the bear again charging and almost on him. This time he fired into it, near the joining of the neck and shoulder, the bullet going downward into the chest hollow; and again by a quick dash to one side he just avoided the rush of the beast and the sweep of its mighty fore- paw. The bear then halted for a min- ute, and he rode close by it at a run, firing a couple of shots, which brought on another resolute charge. The ground was somewhat rugged and broken, but his pony was as quick on its feet as a cat, and never stumbled, even when going at full speed to avoid the bear's first. mad rushes. It speedily became so excited, however, as to render it al- most impossible for the rider to take aim.

An inclination to be consti- pated is a common symptom of the American people. This is due to indigestion, and indigestion comes from indiscretion of diet. Let foods be daily eaten like © ‘df a party of cowboys meet a bear in the open the struggle between the rough riders and their shaggy quarry is full of wild excitement.’’ Sometimes he would®come up close to the bear and wait for it to charge, which it would do, first at a trot, or, rather, gallop; and he would fire one or two shots before being forced to run. At other times, if the bear stood still in a good place, he would run by it, fir- ing as he rode. He spent many car- tridges and though most of them were wasted, occasionally a bullet went home. The bear fought with the most savage courage, Champing its bloody jaws, roar- ing with rage, and looking the very in- carnation of evil fury. For some minutes it made no effort to flee, either charging or standing at bay. Then it began to move slowly to-

of them meets a bear in the open they have great fun, and the struggle be- tween the shouting, galloping rough- riders and their shaggy quarry is full of. wild excitement and not unaccom- panied Sy danger. The bear often throws the noose from his head so rap- idly that it is difficult matter to catch him; and his frequent charges scatter his tormentors in every direction, while the horses become wild with fright over the roaring, bristling beast—for horses seem to dread a bear more than any other animal. If the bear cannot reach cover, however, his fate is sealed. Sooner or later the noose tightens over one leg, or, perchance, over the neck and forepaw, and as the rope straightens with a “‘pluck,’’ the horse braces itseif desperately and the wear tumbles over. Whether he regains his feet or not the cowboy keeps the rope taut; soon -an- other noose tightens over a leg, and the bear is speedily rendered helpless. My friend, Gen. ‘Red’ Jackson of Beliemeade, in the pleasant midcountry of Tennessee, once did a feat which casts into the sliade even the feats of the men of the lariat. * * * The troops in their march roused a large grizziy, which sped off across the plain in front of them.: Strict orders had been issued against firing at frame, because of the nearness of the Indians. Young Jackson was a man of great strength, a keen swordsman, who al- ways kept the finest edge on iis blade, end he was on a swift and mettled Ken- tueky horse, which Juckily had but one eye. Riding at full speed, he soon over- took the quarry. As the horse hoxfs sounded nearer, the grim bear ceased its fight, and whirling around, stood at bay, raising itself or its hind legs and threatening its pursuer with bared fangs and spread claws. Carefully riding his horse so that its blind side should be toward the monster the cavalryman swept by at a run, handling his steed with such daring skill that he just cleared the blow of the dreaded forepaw, while with one mighty saber stroke he cleft the bear's skull, slaying the grinning beast as it stood upright.

country after poultry. Look- ing over Mrs. Haphazard’s of- ferings, he agrees to take 20 of them at the rate of three for a dollar, or $10 in all. Nearby lives .Mrs. Bird, whose chickens prove so much better he agrees to take 30 at the rate of two for a dol- lar, or $15 in all. Sixty chickens thus contracted for would, therefore, cost him $25. But, when he comes to settle, he makes this offer: ‘For every five chickens I will give $2... This seemed fair and they agreed. Yet when Mr. Byer got his 60 chickens he had ob- tained them for $24, since five is con- tained in 60 12 times. Query: What be- came of the other dollar?’ Send your answer to the Post-Dispatch and tell how you found it. M R. CHICK N. BYER goes into the Puzzle Editor Post-Dispatch. Mr. Chick N. Byer bought 60 chickens for $25. He should have paid an aver- age cost of 412-3 cents per chicken, where, if he only paid $2 for five chick- ens, he bought them for 40 cents each, a difference of 12-3 cents per chicken, for 60 chickens—100 cents, or the miss- ing dollar—1 2-3 multiplied by 60 equals 100. G. J. G., 3436 N. Ninth st. Puzzle Editor Post-Dispatch. When Mr. Chick N. Byer agreed to take 30 chickens at the rate of 2 for $1, this makes the average price of each chicken 412-3:cents. But when he set- tled, paying $2 for each five the seller loses 12-3 cents on each chicken, and on the 60 chickens loses $1. Therefore, Mr. Chick N. Byer, by changing his con- tract, made the extra dollar. ADDIE GRAHAM, 44344A Easton av. Puzzle Editor Post-Dispatch. On applying the final agreement be- tween Mrs. Haphazard and Mrs. Bird to Mrs. Haphagard’s account, Mr. Byer would have lost $2, for by original agree- ment cost of Mrs. H.'s chicken was $10, second, 30 chickens would cost $12.

oo Rube Is Ringmaster That Jumps in With Famous Whip and Makes Senators Behave.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. Rube Waddell stopped a stampede of the Washington club yesterday after- noon. When Joe Cantillon’s game against the St. Louis paw into service to save the game. layers became riotous at the start of the third rowns, Col. McAleer waved his ‘Consequently the Browns igantic south- agged another victory coming from behind and beating the Senators by the count ry 6 to 3. It was W'addell who saved the day. The game seemed lost when the vis- itors darted off with a lead of three runs, hitting Jack Powell hard. Bill Graham jumped in and relieved Pow- ell and then the Browns went on a Tampage in the fourth inning and Scored five runs. Then ft was that! Rube was hustled into service to save the gaine and in the last five innings -of the battle he downed the Senators as though they were children. Waddell has only begun. At his resent form he seems unbeatable. is old speed is back. He has con- rol and what is more, he is using his ead. His last three mes have been Marvelous and it would not be sur- oh to see the great eccentric Wirler leading them all in old-time fashion for the next two months. Rube in Happy Mood, Rube was jovial yesterday after he had pitched but one inning. When ever he gets jovial you can depend upon it, he is right. That is when he knows his own powers. He never even grins when he feels in danger, but as he is confident that he has his opponents at his mercy, he waxes into bold comedy and actually tantalizes the other team. When he took the reins yesterday and quieted the ravings of the Sen- ators he had everyone eughing. His team mates jokingly asked him at the start of each inning not to/fan every ga as the infielders wanted prac- Tn the five innings that he pitched he scarcely became warmed up. Yet ‘he fanned six of the visiting players and once he tried just to see what he could do and struck out four of them in succession. One little scratch hit in the five innings was the best the Senators could do although ener were banging them out with regularity and recision while Big Jack Powell was. nm the box. Powell Had No Control. Powell's fault was control. Possibly “he would have gained that in another inning, but it was dangerous to leave couldn’t put his curve over the plate. He was constantly tn the hole and | forced to lob over straight ones, with the usual result cf seeing the ball lined out for safe hits. When in the third inning he was still wild and the Browns were but two runs behind, for they had pushed one over in the second, McAleer couldn’t stand it any longer and relieved Jack by sending in Bill Graham. Young Bill appeared in form and re- tired the side and in the next frame put them out without a run. But when the Browns rallied in their half of the fourth and drove over five runs, putting them well in the lead, McAleer would not even take a chance on Graham. lieving that it was wise to put in Rube and feel sure of keeping in the lead. Walter Johnson, the young pitcher who broke into the big league last summer with such prominence, ae his first ..ppearancs of the season terday as the Washington twirler. Sohn son was forced to submit to an opera- tion early in the spring and only joined the Seraitors last week in Chicago. He started off well vesterday and feem to have his speed that baffled the big League batters last fall, but after three innings he was all through. Browns Like Offerings. The Browns hit him with freedom and he was yanked to the bench in a hurt» while Fred Falkenberg, the ex- Illinois collegian, took his place. The latter was none too strong, in spite of his 6 feet 4 inches in st:iture, and so Cantilion made another switch, putting in Little Bert Keeley, the midget pitcher of the American League Keeley is but 5 feet 6 feaneas. in het but fights like a terrier and is as ac a as a cat on his feet. He doubled him- self up in knife fashion and shot over the most deceiving curves and he hurlel e spitball at the heavy hitters on the Browns in a surprising manner. There no more scoring after the boy fairies took the box and Cantillon re- gretted that he had not put this one in at the start. —— BOUGH i.

NEW BATTERS _ APPEAR FIRST IN AMERICAN ars i id Sullivan of Boston Has Made Big Gain in Week---Murray Leads Cardinals,

Jé ‘ ome startling batting was done in the American League during the past “week. The figures of George Moreland, the reliable and accurate statistician ‘of Pittsburg, show that Dinny Sullivan, the outfielder of Boston, rose nearly "100 points in batting in a single week. Dode Criss of the Browns is still the leader of the League, but, of course, has not been a regular in the game. Sullivan is the rightful leader this week with a mark of .362, coming up from 262 of the week before. Shortstop Ball of the New York club stands second, with a percentage of .348, he, too, making a big rise during the week. McCon- nell of Boston is third, while Ty Cobb, the champion of last season, js fourth. George Stone still leads the Browns, with the exception of Criss. Stone’s mark is now .304, and he has been as steady as any batter in the League this season. Another Philadelphia batter is in the lead of the National League this week. Outflelder Titus is next to Del Howard, the Chicago utility man, the latter having the highest percentage, but not being a regular he can hardly be de- clared the rightful leader. Titus has a mark of .325. Tommy Leach of Pitts- burg is second with .323, while Dooin of the Phillies is third at .316. Mike Donlin, the captain of the New York Giants, has come to the front the last week, rising from .289 to .313. Hans Wagner or off a bit, and now stands at .306. Jack Murray still leads them all in stol@ bases, the young Cardinal out- fielder having 17 to his credit this year. He is leading the Cardinals in stick work with a mark of .23%5, having dropped 11 points.in the past week.

HAT American League baseball penant race is exasperating. Worse than that, it’s out tied. team outfit lacks ¢ A third, or nearly chat fraction, of the season has been concluded and yet, aside from New York’s tenure of first place early in the scramble, not a club has shown ability to cling to the lead- er’s post for longer than a few days. Almost each succeeding 24 hours, of late, has seen a new club in first posi- tion, and still the kaleidoscope keeps changing. Six teams, today, have al- most an equal chance to finish first or sixth, and the outlook is that at the end the leader will scratch out a nose victory .over five others. That is no race, at least none worthy of a champion’s laurels. There is no class to a@ team or an individual or to a horse that can not consistently defeat rivals, granting the usual mishaps that occur In all sports. According to the View. From the stardpoint of those fans who like to root and cheer for a chance to see a world’s baseball played partly in their home city, or who detect losing baseball, the race is certainly ideal. Even Boston and Wash- ington are not hopelessly distanced. But from .an abstract baseball standard it seems evident that deterioration, rather than improvement, has brought the clubs together. The Browns seemed to have bettered—that lets the League out as regards 1908 and 1907 clubs. Six cities have a chance to see world’s championship baseball, and all clubs in the League will make money—those are the happy features to a see-saw race that will become wearisome, if one club does not show class enough to remain on top for a noticable time, however scant ‘ts margin may be. and that such a race can last seems incredible. The Sox have. shewn signs of life, and it is to them and to Cleveland that fans will have to look 400 lif anything like a .600 average for the season is to be made by the winner. With Turner and- Flick back in the game, the Blues might have a chance to take a substantial spurt. As for our own dear Browns, they are playing good, snappy baseball and de- vouring up the easy marks from the East. They will suffer when they meet their foes from the West, and, unless the pitching staff bolsters, it is not to Hedges’ men that we can look for a .000 per cent champion. Their pitchers do not figure or class to do that well, 66 }although the team’s defense surely can take care of its end otherwise. Right now it seems that .575 wfll win a champion’s laurels in this League, and it looks like St. Louis is about that good, with Turner and Flick out for Cleveland, ang Chicago yet to show its old speed. Caesar’s famous “I came, I saw, I 283 | conquered” hasn't anything in the way of conciseness on “Stone fanned, Hoff- man died, Williams whiffed.” But we'd rather read Caesar. England will surely have to take water in the Olympic games—our Ow- goost will swim there. Score two firsts, in the back and breast strokes. Really, Goessling seems the class of all the world in these events at various dis- tances, and if he fails to get two firsts M. A. C. and St. Louis will surely be disappointed. championship

Anna Gould and Prince Helie de Sagan has jist been signed. The contract es- tablishes the separation of the property of the parties, each to retain control of their own property. While the contract is a mere formal- fty under the French law, it ts the cus- tom for the wedding to follow within two weeks of the contract, which would make the marriage come before the end of the month. On the highest authority it is learned that the wedding will net take place in France. Although the Prince is a Catholic, it is said that the marriage will take place in a Protestant church. Muench sentenced her to two years in the industrial school. As the girl stood before the bar, weep- ing, Clerk Doerr reminded Judge} Muench that it was her first offense a ad) that other persons less culpable we being paroled. Judge Muench then ques- tioned Miss Roth and granted her a parole. Court attaches furnished her money to pay her fare to the home of her cousin. | HIS STINGINESS COSTS $50 “This Ain’t No Free Lunch,” Huck- ster Told Woman. When a woman customer, who did not impress Sam Pearlman, a huck- ster, as likely to buy anything, bit one of a sample box of peaches which she was inspecting, Pearlman cried: “Say, you, this ain’t no free lunch?’ For this remark, and some more vigorous language which followed, Pearlman was fined $50 Friday by Judge Tracy.

Letters from Prominent Druggists addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Regarded as an Eyesore. The unfinished building is regarded as an eyesore and the obstructions on the sidewalk south of it and in the al- ley norih of it are a serious barrier to traffic. This condition has prevailed for a year. Since work on the structure was stopped last June the owners. have made ne effort to clear away the ob- structions. Merchants in the neighborhood say that their business has been greatly in- jured because of the impassability of the street. H. C.

We have nothing but good to say about it.” Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., of St. Louis, Mo., says: “Of the thousands of patent medicines for which we have demand there are a very few of them that we can conscientiously recommend and your Castoria is in- cluded in this few.” D.

Two years ago a Milwaukee architect named Kirsch appeared in the neighbor- hood and announced that he was going to “improve’’ the cerner by putting up a three-story combination residence and business building.

Bakula, whose husband has a dry goods store at 1115 Park avenue, im- mediately west. of the unfinished build- ing. ‘“We have complained to the police nearly every day and each time they have told us that they have notified the Health Department and the Street De- partment.

That cost nearly 3400, Henry Kersting of 1509A South Elev- enth street. an attorney, has been the leader of the neighborhood movement to abate the nuisance. “It is an outrage that such a condi- tion should be permitted to exist,” he said. ‘“T!nder the ordinances, the Street Department has a right to clear away the obstructiors.”’ “We have just about lost patience,” said Adam Linck of 102 Park avenue. “IT think we would be justified in haul- ing away that rubbish ourselves. “A dog died down in the cellar.

When the young couple returned to the bride’s home after their elopment, instead of the expected blessing from the Governor, the bridegroom recived a short-arm jab in the face and a boost from the Governor, which sent him off the verandah.

BED BEFORE HE ITS OL Well) Prospector, After Years of Mis- fortune, Brings in Rich Gusher, - BUTLER, Pa.,June 12.—Carrying away article after article to be pawned un- til nothing remained of his wife’s fur- niture except a rickety old bedstead, the efforts of Harry N. Hoffman were final- ly rewarded, and now he is the owner of an of] well that will make the famous gusher of “Spotty’’ McBride look small. Heffman has just drilled in the gusher on the Mary B. Dedd’s let at McBride, within a stone’s throw of the place where “Spotty” McBride made his for- tune. Had Hoffman been compelled to raise another $10 he would have failed. The well is spouting oil half-way up the derrick, and it is believed that when it is confined it will be goed for 600 bar- rels, or about $800 a day. For years Hoffman has been “wild- catting”’ in the Butler field, without any success. He has been so unlucky in all his ventures that the time came when it was impossible for him to sink a hole for himself, and finally his friends re- fused to advance him any money. Recently, for a song, he secured a lease on the Dodd’s tet and Began a struggle to raise necessary funds to sink « well, But at the last moment the fer- mer friends of Hoffman refused to as- sist him further. Undaunted, Hoffman began to pawn his wife’s furniture, until nothing re- mained in the house but the old bed. Hoffman's loyal wife declared that she was willing to sacrifice that, too, but just when it seemec that it would be necessary to do so the gusher came in.
