Ten-Year-Old Victim Seized at Gate as He Goes Home for Lunch. en Nearly one hundred men, women and children formed a mob which chased a man eight blocks on O'Fallon street Friday after he had, without apparent provocation, choked and shaken John @chicker, 10 years old, of 1314 Blair ave- nue. At Seventh and ‘O'Fallon streets the man ran into the arms of Policeman Andrew Dwyer, who had difficulty in preventing the crowd from laying vio- lent hands on the man. The boy, at the time he was seized by the man, was leaving the yard of Miss Helen Gregg, 4 charity worker who has interested herself in the chil- dren of the neighborhood and lives at 1820 Blair avenue. Called Home by Mother. hTe boy had been cutting the grass in Miss Gregge’s yard when his mother, @ few doors away, called him to lunch. While his mother was looking at him and as he reached the sidewalk, a man who was passing caught the boy by the throat and began shaking him as a dog does ‘a rat. Mrs. Schicker screamed and two men ran over from the oppo- tite side of the street. One of them tn the face, but the man ran toward O'Fallon |. street. A crowd composed of men, women and Children, attracted by Mrs. Schi®ker’s @creams, gave chase and ran down O’Falion street after the man. The ewifter runners were gaining on the man when Policeman Dwyer captured him. Boy’s Throat Shows Marks. Several women attempted to get their hands on the man, but Dwyer held th m off and took the man to the Carr Street Police Station. He denied having at- tacked the boy. He gave his name as Thomas Kelly, and said he resided at 121 Division street. The boy’s throat shows the marks of the man’s fingers and is red and swol- len.

Oscar Setin of 3048 avenue sat down on the steps of the old City Hall, Bieventh and Market streets, Thurs- Gay night to rest. He took off his gold- Timmed spectacles and, with a hand- kerchief, began wiping the perspiration from his forehead. ~ “The humidity is stifling, is it not,” remarked the stranger, who approached “How's that?’ asked Stein. ’ “I say it's an extremely hot evening,” explained the stranger. “I presume the heat is caused by an abnormally low barometric pressure."’ “Yes, I guess so," said Stein re-

signedly. “I perceive your eyesight is some- what impaired,” continued the stranger, pointing to the glasses in Stein’s hand. “You're & pretty good guesser,” re- plied Stein. “I am also troubled with my ocular nerve. May I try on your glasses?’ “Bure,” said Stein handing over the “Ah, these are great,” said the stran- ger adjusting them. “I can see as far as Twelfth street and the vision is un- cbstructed.

COBBLER LIVED IN GAR... ...~.4 -~ ABODE IS MOVED, TENANT FOLLOWS, LAW OUTWITTED Shoemaker Proves He. Didn’t Put Up Building, Merely Moved in After It Was Moved. JOseph Custer raised a technical point in the Dayton Street Police Court Fri- day and so nonplussed a representative of Building Commissioner Smith, who was there to prosecute Custer for erect- ing a frame dwelling within the city limits, that the case was continued to July 31. Custer’s point was that the frame dwelling was moved to its present site at 2342 Wren avenue by a Constable, and thaf he (Custer) had nothing to do with it, merely moving in afterward And, further, that the dwelling wasn’t erected at all, because it was an aban- doned street car. Custer is an old shoemaker, and has been living in the street car a long time. Formerly it stood at Thekla and Wren avenues, but the owner of that lot brought sult against Custer for rent. The petition in Justice Reishmann’s court complained that Custer hadn’t made ‘‘the ‘usual payment.”’ Custer escaped on a technical point } that time, too. He proved that he hadn’t made any rent payment at all, and therefore couldn't have missed “tke usual payment,’ But a constable was sent out to move the street-car home. Custer looked on in silence. Then he moved into it again and set to work industriously mending shoes. The Building Commissioner's suit is his latest trouble. POST-DISPATCH FINDS GIRL WIFE IN TWO HOURS Mrs. Mary B.

GROSSCUP FOR PROTECTION OF CORPORATION Federal .Judge Who Helped Reverse Standard Oil Fine Has Change of Heart. GETS WISER WITH AGE

==> Says Big Companies Should Be Made Secure to Invite Investment.

NEW YORK, July 24.—“I am not pro- voked by the President’s statement.” Judge Grosscup made this remark to- day just before his departure for an automobile tour of the Berkshires. The statement was in response to a request for a reply to Roosevelt's criticism of the reversal of the Standard Oil fine. Reminded that one time he was re- garded as a foe of corporations, Judge Grosscup said: “Well, as a@ man grows older, his mind develops. My position is this: Cor- porations should be made so secure, as a form of holding property, that the corporate domain of the country will invite investment by the people.” President Roosevelt, in a statement just given out by Secretary Loeb, has made it plain that he will keep after Standard Oil, despite the reversal of | Judge Kenesaw M. Landis’ fine against the trust of $29,240,000 by the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago, Wednesday. Matching in his defiance of the exee- utive, -every mood that Roosevelt showed, Judge Peter 8S. Grosscup of the Court of Appeals, who is here, gave his side of the case. The statement of the :’resident was issued following a@ conference witn Judge William H. Taft, who evidently feels that his campaign will be hurt by the reversal of Judge Landis’ de- cision at this time. Were it not for the well-known views of the President on Rockefeller and Standard Oil, the statement undoubtedly would be ascribed as purely an ald to the cam- paign of Taft. ! | Second Excoriation by President. This is the second time President Roosevelt has taken .udges of the Fed- eral Court to task for not siding with “my policies.”” The previous occasion was the decision of Judge J. Otis Hum- phrey of Springfield, Ill, sitting on the Beef Trust case in the United States Circuit Court in Chicago. Judge Humphrey upheld the famous ‘immunity bath’? arguments of Attor- ney John 8. Miller, counsel. for the Chi- cago packers, who, singularly enough, also was John D. Rockefeller’s counsel in the Standard Oil case, receiving for his services a retainer alone said to be $100,000. Chauncey Martyn of counsel for the Standard Oil Co. today. took issue with that part of President Roosevelt's state- ment which says there is no question of the guilt of Standard Oil. “As a matter of fact,”’ he said, “‘there are intimations in the Appellate Court’s opinion that the guilt of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana has not been estab- lished,” Fine Invalid Because: Judge Landis erred in excluding evi- dence for the Standard to show proper intent in the freight rate paid on ol! shipments. He erred in considering each car-lot 4 separate offense instead of each ship- ment. In imposing the maximum fine for @ first offense he abused the discretion vested in his court. It is a strange doctrine whereby the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, a $1,000,000 corporation, may be fined 29 times the umount of its capital stock to punish an- other corporation, the Standard Oil Co, of New Jersey, which was not under in- dictment. Fine Imposed Because: On. shipments of oil from Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, all., the Stand- ard paid only one-third the rate charged other shippers, and therefore was sub- ject to a fine under the Elkins law of from $1000, the minimum, to $20,000, the maximum penalty for each offense. The jury found the company guilty of accepting rebates from the Chicago & Alten road on 1462 counts. Judge Lan- dis inflicted the ac0,000 fine on every one of the 1462 counts. The regular rate of the Chicago & Alton for oil between the two points Was 17% cents. ‘Ine Standard was charged 6% cents, receiving the differ- ence in rebates. 3 Judge Lendis ruleu it was not nec- essary to establish that the Standard had knowledge of the lawful rate, that it was its duty te ascertain and get the lawful rate. —— A WARNING.

POISONED MAN'S. DEATH REMAIN DEEP MISTERY = Coroner’s Jury Unable to Say How John Ries Received Arsenic.

KILLED BY THE DRUG

Autopsy Showed Quantities of Poison Had Been Ad- ministered.

The mystery of John Ries’ death from arsenical poisoning was not cleared by the Coroner’s inquest, and tue question of how the poison was administered re- mains unanswered. «. Coroner’s jury returned a verdict Friday saying Ries died from arsenic, but that the time, manner and place it was administered and the person who gave it were unknown to the jury. Ries liyed at 701 South Compton ave- nue, and was taken to the City Hospi- tal June 27, after being ill a month at his home. He died the next morning. Ben Ries, a brother, insisted on an au- topsy. This revealed enough arsenic in the dead man’s stomach to have killed several men. The inquest was reopened after the autopsy, and continued July 7 until more witnesses could be summoned. It was again reopened Tuesday, and Mrs. Cora Ries, the widow, was put on the stand. Case Puzzled Doctor. . Mrs. Riés toid now her husband be- came ill, and told her he had been eat- ing sauerkraut and wienerwursts in a saloon. He thouglt that was what made him sick. During the following month Mrs. Ries called in Dr. O. L. Howard of 4213 Natural Bridge road, and two other physicians. The other two called only once or twice, and were certain they did not prescribe arsenic. Dr. Howard called several times, and says he may possibly have prescribed strychnine, but that if he gave arsenic at all it was only in sulphur tablets containing .1000 fet a” grat “of arsenic each!” These tap: lets, it is said, could not have caused Ries’s death. Dr. Howard testified that he didn’t know what killed Ries. He diagnosed the case at different times as ptomaine poisoning, smallpox, measles and ty- phoid fever. The smallpox diagnosis was due to a skin disease, which is said to have had nothing to do with Ries’ death. The reddish rash which also broke out on Ries, and which led to the meales diagnosis, is significant. Such an eruption is a symptom of slow ar- senical poisoning. The pains across the back might be symptomafic of such poisoning also. Had Talked of Suicide. William Tulver of 70 South Compton avenue, a neighbor, said he had heard Ries threaten to “‘take the short route.’”’ Mrs. Ries says, however, that he could not have obtained poison to kill him- self, as he was too weak toward the last to move. She thinks there may have been a rat poison containing arsenic in the house.

FORGIRL'S DEATH | NOS A BANQUE Physician Caught at Train After Addressing Hiber- nian Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July £4.—The Hibernian bancuet at Tomlinson Hall ended early this: morning in the arrest of Dr. J. 8. Courtney of Portland, Ore., Wanted there in connection with the death of Stel!a Bennett, 15 years old, whom he had treated professionally. Dr. Courtney was advocating Portland for the next meeting of the A. O. H. when a messenger boy delivered a tele- gram to him in the hall. The telegram was from a_ brother, informing him that he had been in- dicted and to return at once to avoid arrest. The same messenger boy had a telegram to deliver to Captain of De- tectives Asch. -—he boy found the de- tective in another part of the hall. The telegram said: “Arrest J. S. Courtney on the charge of causing the death of Stella Bennett.”’ Asch had just heard Courtney's elo- quent speech, but started to find him. Courtney had disappeared. The Central Station was notified and detectives were sent to hotels and to the Union Sta- tion. The banquet ended in confusion. Courtney was caught at the station, where he was buying a ticket for Cal- cago. : “I didn’t know it was so serious,” he gasped. tle was prostrated when locked in a cell for the night, the police refusing bond. The banquet, up to its sensational ending, had been one of the largest ever held by the national organization. Thia message was received by Bishop Chatard from Pope Pius X and was read at the banquet: ‘The Holy Father thanks the Ancient Order of Hibernians of America for its expression of homage and congratula- iicns and blesses the members and their families. “CARDINAL MERRY DEL VAL, Secretary.” KEEPS DINNER APPOINTMENT BY BALLOON TO THE MINUTE NORTH ADAMS, Mass., July %4—N.

Watching for the girl he loves to re- gain consciousness, Martin Becker sat all night by her bedside in a hospital and was yet sitting there Friday morn- ing waiting for the verdict of the doc- tors that would tell him whether she was to live or die. The young woman, Miss Lillie Brauer, is lying between life and death, the re- sult of an automobile accident. When she was thrown out of the ma- chine Tuesday night she alighted on her head and she since. has been unconscious Thursday the doctors decided that there was a clot of blood on her brain and they performed an operation to remove it. Awatts Result of Operation, While the surgeons were at work, Martin Becker of 3126 Pennsylvania ave- nue, sat in an adjoining room hoping that, when the surgeons were through, his sweetheart would be able to recog- nize him and speak to him. But he was disappointed. When the surgeons were done they told him that she might die without re- covering consciousness, or she might get well, but even if she lived it would be some time before she would come out of thé stupor in which she had lain for two days and a half. Friday morning Miss Brauer was yet unconscious and the doctors could not say Whether she would live or die. Becker will remain at her side until he knows what the result ts to be.

ulants were. poured down Dorando’s While the crowd was watching this, cries of “That's no sport?t’’. “Don’t kill him!" and other expressions of disgust were heard in all parts of the Stadium. A moment later Hayes came into the Stadium, running like a greyhound, stronger than ever. He crossed the line a short distance ahead of Heffernan, the South African, and Joseph Forshaw of St. Louis, running in the colors of the Missouri Athletic Club. Hayes immediately lodged his protest, and a minute later Hefferan, too, made a protest’ against Hayes, on the und that Hayes had been assisted as he had entered the Stadium, Nt @ man among the dozens in the press stand, who had watched every move of the contestants, had seen Hayes assisted, and no action was atken on Hefferan’s protest. Italian Is Exhausted. Dorando was so exhausted when he was carniéd off the field on a stretcher, that the officials thought fit to issue this statement: $ “Dorando, who became very fll after leaving the track, is now out of dan- ger.”’ Lord Desbrough, chairman of the Ath- letic Committee, lost no time in calling the officials together, when James E. Sullivan, United States Commissioner to the Olympic games, had lodged his protest. It was plain to see that the Britishers were agitated, and the fact that Dorando had just been carried off the field more dead than alive made the advisability of haste imperative. Both Forshaw and Hayes were in ex- cellent condition when tney finished and walked unassisted to their dressing rooms. : The time, 2h. 54m. 36s., was close to the record for the Marathon distance of 26 miles and 38 yards.

NEW YORK, July 24.—Frank J. Gould, who is being sued for divorce by Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould, appeared at the Tombs Police Court this afternoon at the hearing of the three ‘persons charged with attempting to sécufe falsé evi- dence against him. : t was reported this afternoon that née Ha’ b léeming, one of 4he three rédfis “attested ‘in connection with an alleged attempt to manufacture evidence to be used against Gould in a divorce suit, had turned w.ate’s evidence and had given valuable information to the Inidtrict Attorney's office. ‘Assistant District Attornéy Hart told Magistrate Cérrigan, before whom the prisoners were arraigned, that Mrs. Fleming had made 4& confession.

Blair, in 1904. The police are looking Friday for a man about 28 years old, known to Mrs. List as “Logan,” but whom people in the Lucas avenue vicinity say called himself Grogan, who has been employed as a watchman by Mrs. List, to sleep on the premises. Tragedy Feared at First. He was seen by Mrs. W. S. Drake of 3621 Lucas avenue to ente. the List house at 5 o’clock Tnurtaay afternoon, He did «¢ Was at first thought by the police that Logan might have perished in the flam but a thorough search of the house failed to reveal any body and the room where Logan was said to have slept Was not burned seriously. The place had been unoccupied since the first week in June, and was bare of furniture. The fire was discovéred by a neighbor, and when firemen reached the place thé rear of the hotise about thé stairways was a mass of flame. Under the stairway, in the basement, wére found two five-gallon cans. One of them contained almost a gallon of coal oil, while the other was empty, but had been: filled so recently the odor of coal of) still could be detected in it. These two cans were found beneath the stairway, but were only scorched, not burned through. Carried Papers Under Arm, Mrs. Drake told a Post-Dispatch re- porter she saw Grogan, as she knew the man, enter the house about 5 p. m. Thursday, and did not see him leave it, nor has she seen him at any time since. He carried several newspapers under his arm, she said, when he entered. Logan, or Grogan, occupled the sec- ond-floor front room. Nothing was found in that apartment Friday but a broken rocking chair, and a _ coal-oil lamp; partly @lled, and unlighted. Mrs. List knew nothing of the fire until told of it by a Post-Dispatch re- porter. She said she vacated the house in June and hired Logan to watch the place until she could rent it. She does not know thé man’s first name, nor his place of abode. She has not seen Logan since she hired him. as she went to Chicago in June, and returned to 8t. Louis only & week ago.

Joyce, a river pilot of Pine- ville, Ark., who is stopping at 3521 Lu- cas avenue, was one of the first to gee the fire. He roused all the people in Mrs. Drake’s house and a negro turned in the alarm. When the fire was dig- covered it had spread to the second floor of the house. The blaze apparently started on or near the cellar stairs and progressed up the stairway to the second floor. The rear of the house was damaged badly, but the front portion was only scorched.

WIRES WILL 60 UNDERGROUND I THE WEST EX a ce Union Electric and Bell Com- panies Make Promise at Public Hearing. Representatives of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. and of the Bell Telephone Co. announced at a public hearing before the Board, of Public Im- provements Friday that those com- panies were willing to put underground all their wires on Union avenue and King’s highway from Forest Park to Baston avenue. The announcement was made after the Board had heard talks from property owners, représentatives of the Civic Improvement League and others, urging the removal of poles and overhead wires, which, they declared, were un- sightly and dangerous. The ptiblic hearing was granted at the request of the Civic Improvement League. §. B. Way, engineer of the light cOmpany, said his company would fieed unt!! Jan. 1, 1910, to make the change, while George H. Bowles, right- of-way engineer of the telephone com- pany, said a year would be sufficient time for his company. The Rev. Henry 8.

Personally he prefers tv .elinquish public cares for the present, yet is im- pressed with the fact that many voters want him to accept a renomination. The letters urging his acceptance are not from politicians. President Roosevelt has maintained si- lence on the subject, as has Mr. Taft. The State bosses—Woodruff, Parsons, Barnes, Aldridge, Odell and others—are either niy hostile or evasive.

OR, BOEAM CAN TELL HS STORY 10 GRAND JU

Sager Decides Not to Postpone Investigation Until After Election.

Dr. Joseph Iu. Boehm, who wants to make sure that himself and other mem- bers Of the Twenty-fifth Ward Repub- lican Club will have a chance to tell the Srand jury after the election what they know about boodling and grafting, is £0lng to have a chance to tell what he Knows before the election. ¢ At a meeting held Thursday night at Louisiana Hall, 911 North Vandeventer avenue, Dr. Boehm asked all the candi- dates for Circuit Attorney if they would let the members of the club get to the grand jury with information about pub- lic officials. He was assured by each one that nothing would be put in their way. When Circuit Attorney Sager read about it he at once had a grand jury summons icsued for Dr. Boehm. He said that if Dr. Boehm knows anything about public officials he would be given a chance to tell it right away. The grand jury will not reconvene’ antil Aug. 11, but Mr. Sager wants to talk with the doctor now and if he has any- thing to tell he will be given a chance later to ‘tell it. The suicide theory is almost uhtesebie because Ries gave no symptoms at the hospital of violent arsenical poisoning. All the symptoms point to slow poi- soning. Deputy Coroner Lloyd, who conducted the inquest, made inquiries as to wheth- er Ries was addicted to the use of ar- senic—a vice very rare, and especially so in men—but could find no evidence that he was. Mrs. Ries convinced Dr. Lloyd of her entire innocence. She received about $1200 insuranee after her husband’s death. It was taken out, however, be- fore their marriage two years ago, and Mrs. Ries’ demeanor on the stand, her action in appealing to physicians to gave her husband and her history, es- tablished her inmoncence to Dr. Lioyd’s complete satisfaction. Arsenic Not Prescribed. Considering the sutcide theory unten- able, Dr. Lloyd endeavored to learn whether any of the physicians in the case had prescribed overdoses of ar- senic, or whether overdoses had been administéred unwittingly by Mrs. Ries. He coul@ not find any evidence of this. Arsenic is a cumulative poison, re- maining permanently in the system, and it is a possibility that the poisoning of Ries began long before he exhibited any symptoms of illness. The case is considered by Dr. Lioyd one of the most puzzling he ever en- countered. Detectives worked on dt three weeks without aiding in solving the mystery it presents. Ries Was twice married, and had seven children by his first wife, four of whom lived at the Compton avenue address. There were no children by the second wife. She is 36 years old. Ries was. 64.

REACH PALM ‘Bos Stone Is aetatial by Recep- tion Committee of One in Automobile. TEN THOUSAND THERE Gov. Folk Scheditled to Arrive Later to Talk About Senatorship.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. PALMYRA, Mo., July 24.—Practically every Democratic candidate for nomi- nation for State office and thousands of Democrats from Marion and sur- rounding counties came to Palmyra to- day for the annual Marion County Democratic pienic, which was held in a grove three-quarters of a mile north of Palmyra this afternoon. -There were perhaps 10,000 persons on the grounds when the speaking began at 1 p. m., and the weather was ideal. Marion County is a& Détnocratic stronghold and the gréat attraction was the appearance of ‘United States Sen- ator Storie and Gov. Folk. Senator Stone, accompanted by his sec- retary, William Hollister, left St. Louis last night and ‘“gumshoed” into Han- nibal. He was unattended on the train and but few of the passdngérs knew a United States Senator was aboard. His arrival in Hannibal was unnoticed and he came into Palmyra at 8:30 o'clock this morning almost as quiétly. He was met at the train by the only automobile Palmyra boasts. Charles W. Brunson, the owner, was the driver, and Frank H. Sosey, a newspaper man, was the reception committee. Senator in Automobile. The automobile drove up to the Mer- chants’ Hotel, where a crowd was gath- ered. Farmers whd had come to town during the night gazed in astonishment at the white touring car, but paid no attention to the occupants of the ma- chine until, a few minutes later, Sena- tor Stone stepped info the crowd and began shaking hands. While Senator Stone was walking into the hotel, several aged men remarked that the managers of the picnic showed bad policy by meeting the Senator with an automobile, whose only mission, in their mind, was to frighten horses. These expressions were made known to Mr. Sosey, who said: “Well, to mMght matters, we will meet Gov. Folk af the train this afternoon with the same automobdfle.” Saloons As Headquarters, Judge Wallace of Kansas City and David A. Ball of Pike County, can- didates for the gubernatorial nomina- tion, arrived this morning, and W. 8. Cowherd and H. F. St&pel, the other candidates for the office, timed their arrival for later in the day. There are three saloons In the town. One is known as the Ball headquar- ters and another is the meeting place for Cowherd workers. The third dram- shop has not decided yet Whether it will be for Wallace or Stapéel, but it fs inclined toward the latter. Palmyra boasts one soda fountain, and it is expected to spring to Wallace, as the proprietor is a Democrat. Up to; date it is noncommittal. Many Speeches Expected. The exercises at the picnic ground be- gan with a speech by Col. Ball. It was expected that Senator Stone would fol- 1low him, an hour being given to each of the more prominent candidates, Senator Stone planned to “end his speech before 3 o’clock, and it was said that he would be at the station, preparing to depart at the time Gov. Folk arrived. The man- agers of the picnic hoped to have Gov. Folk and the Sénator on the ground all day, but a debate between the two candidates for the senatorship was frowned on. Mr. Cowherd was scheduled to follow, the Governor, with Judge. Wallace and Mr. Stapel closing. Candidates for mi- nor offices also were allowed to speak. W. Christie Bryan of St. Louis, candi- date for Judge of the St.. Louls Court of Appeals, is among the offite-seekers here. In addition to the plenic there is a street fair in Palmyra and the town is decorated. J. W. Owsley, proprietor of the Merchants’ Hotel, is chairman of the picnic committee, and George A. Mahan of Hannibal is chairman of the speak- ing arrangements. Frank H. Sosey is secretary.

Coal Oil Found in Large Can After Flames Adds to the Mystery.

ENTERS BEFORE ALARM

Logan, or Grogan, Carried a Bundle of Newspapers, Neighbor Asserts.

Fire of mysterious origin, in which two five-gallon oil cans and a missing watchman figure, early Friday morn- ing damaged the two-story 10-room brick .residence at 3619 Lucas avenue, which was for many years the home of Mrs. Frank P. Blair, but which is now owned by Mrs. Louise M. List, 4247 Delmar boulevard. The house has been unoccupied since early in June, whén Mrs. List vacated it. She rented t’:e house a month ago to a Mrs. Stephens, whose present ad- dress Mrs. List does not know, but Mrs. Stephens could not move in ‘be- cause of repairs being Street and the car tracks. The late Mrs. §. P. Blair resided there and Mrs. List bought the property from Mrs. Appdline M. biair, widow of the lat; .>~ées L. Blair, in 1904. The police are looking Friday for a man about 28 years old, known to Mrs. List as “Logan,” but whom people in the Lucas avenue vicinity say called himself Grogan, who has been employed as a watchman by Mrs. List, to sleep on the premises. Tragedy Feared at First. He was seen by Mrs. W. 8S. Drake of 3621 Lucas avenue to ente. the List house at 5 o’clock Tnurtaay afternoon, He did not report the fire to Mrs. List. at was at first thought by the police that Logan might have perished in the flameS, but a thorough search of the house failed to reveal any body and the room where Logan was said to have slept Was not burned seriously. The place had been unoccupied since the first week in June, and was bare of furniture. The fire was discovered by a neighbor, and when firemen reached the place the rear of the hotise about the stairways was a mass of flame. Under the stairway, in the basement, wére found two five-gallon cans. One of them contained almost a gallon of coal oil, while the other was empty, but had been: filled s0 recently the odor of coal of! stf{ll could be detected in It. These two cans were found beneath the stairway, but were only scorched, not burned through. Carrted Papers Under Arm, Mrs. Drake told a Post-Dispatch re- porter she saw Grogan, as she knew 5 p. m. Thursday, and did not see him leave it, nor has she seen him at any time since. He carried several newspapers under his arm, she sald, when he entered. Logan, or Grogan, occupied the sec- ond-floor front room. Nothing was found in that apartment Friday but a broken rocking chair, and a coal-oll lamp; partly #lled, and unlighted. Mrs. List knew nothing of the fire until told of it by a Post-Dispatch re- porter. She said she vacated the house in June and hired Logan to watch the place until she could rent it. She does not know the man’s first name, nor his place of abode. She has not seen Logan since she hired him. as she went to Chicago in June, and returned to 8t. Louis only & week ago. Mrs. List caid she left the two five- gallon cans in the house, but is positive they were empty when she left them. She declared -he had no enémies, d kriew of no one who would have ay |P reason to set firé to her house. She bought the place for $7500, but values it at only $7000 now, and carries 34000 insurance on it. River Pilet Spreads Alarm, Ww. A. Joyce, a river pilot of Pine- ville, Ark., who is stopping at 3521 Lu- cas avenue, was one of the first to gee the fire. He roused all the people in Mrs. Drake’s house and a negro turned in the alarm. When the fire vas dig- covered it had spread to the second floor of the house. The blaze apparently started on or near the cellar stairs and progressed up the stairway to the second floor. The rear of the house was damaged badly, but the front portion was only scorched. The woodwork was burned away, but the walle are still atand- ing. MRS, GLYN IN “THREE WEEKS;” LONDON SAYS IT’S THE LIMIT Authoress Provides Thrills at the Adelphi Theater With a Tiger- , Skin Rug.

‘SOON SCRAMBLE FOR UTILITIES JOB Appointments Must Be Made Sixty Days From Date Bill Is Approved.

NAMES “MENTIONED”

“touse Not Likely to Support the Nominees of the Council.

With the utilities bill by the Municipal Assembly and assured public passed of the Mayor's approval, interest has turned to the selection of the five pub- lice service commissioners. Already the list of eligible and un- available candidates has reached a score, and every day promises to add to the tentative nominations. The men ‘mentioned’ as the Council's probable nominees are superior to those (for whom the House is likely to stand sponsor. Under the provisions of the bill, which will probably reach Mayor Wells Mon- day, the appointment of commissioners must be made within sixty days from the date of its approval. Whether the Assembly adjourns for two months or not, it is certain that the interval be- tween the Mayor's approval of the Dill and the expiration of the period allowed for the choice of the commission will be devoted to the preparation of a ‘“‘slate.’’ If the Assembly takes a recess of two months, as comtemplated in the resolu- tion adopted by the Council last Tues- day, there will be after its first meeting in September, but three days in which to make arf] confirm the appointments. Hiouse May Not Concur, There is a strong likelihood, however, that the House of Delegates will fail to concur in this plan of adjournment, so that the commission may be established and organized for work within the next six weeks, provided the delegates select men whom the Council can consistently accept. The nominations made by the House of Delegates must be approved by the Council, while the selections of the Councilmen must have the approval of the delegates. This arrangement is regarded as ful! of the possibilities of obstruction and deadlock, although advocates of imme- diate regulation hope that public senti- ment will force the two branches of the Assembly to compromise their dif- ferences in this case as in respect to the bill itself. | Three of the commissioners, two of those named by the Council and one chosen by the House of Delegates, will serve for two years. The other com- missioners, one of whom will represent the Hliouse and the other the Cox:ncil, will continue in office for four years. Fach commissioner is to receive an annual salary of $2500, payable monthly. Duties of Commissioners, No legislative power is vested in the commission. Its duties will be simply to study the rates, conditions and char- acter of service rendered the people of St. Louis by the corporations which supply light, heat, telephones, tele- graphs, transportation and other utili- ties, and to recommend such reasona- ble charges, increase in efficiency, im- provements and suggestions as are deemed necessary. In making this investigation, the com- mission will have the assistance of ex- perts. For the'salaries of these experts and a clerical force, about hadf the an- nual appropriation of $25,000 will be ex- pended. If the Municipal Assembly approves the recommendations of the commission, ordinances designed to effect better- ments in the public utilities and to fix rates for service will be passed. The Assembly, however, has the right to reject any recommendation as a whole, or to accept such as may be re- garded as reasonable. Assembly May Remove Them, The commissioners are to be sworn of- ficials and may be removed by the As- sembly at any time. The office of the commission will be in the City Hal) and its deliberations and records wi’! be pul - lic. No person connected as an employe, officer, bondholder or stockholder of any public-service corporation is eligible to membership in the commission. Before reorganization of the House of Delegates appeared to be a successful undertaking, Hiram N. Moore, former Judge of the Court of Criminal Correv- tion, and Lawrence (Lawler) Daley, a Democratic politician, were said to be the men whom the “combine” of the House of Delegates favored as con:mis- sioners, While viewed as prepesterous in some quarters, this program und.wbiedly was seriously considered by the dominant faction In the House. Since reorganization became a _ pros- pect, Henry L. (Hank) Weeke, a for- mer member of the House, saloon keeper and Republican ‘“‘boss,”’ has been “mentioned.” As another possibility, Edward J. Morrissey, once a constable, has come to notice. Some siight substantiation of the Statement that Weeke is looking for & piace on the commission te given by the fact that his brother, Frank Weeke, untii a week ago a member of the s0u8e Combine, bas deserted that fac- tion to take a hand In «ie reconstruc- tien of the ouse. Weeke Wants the Job. The story told by a member of the combir | ie that Henry Weeke attempted to fore: the majority to select him, but could ot t anv such pledge. It is enid that Weeke then opened nesotia- tione With the minority, ering to with.

MOTHER UPSET, DAUGHTER WEDS WITHOUT NOTIC Young Couple Carry Out Plan to Marry if Minister Comes in Sight.

Miss Corinne Estelle Strauss, aged 19, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. «Max Strauss of 5152 Kensington avenue, Was married at noon lriday by a justice or minister near the City Hall to Arthur Landau of 5944 Vernon avenue. They were to have been married Sun- day, according to the bride’s mother, at the Strauss home. Landau called for Mics Strauss Friday morning and took her to the City Hall to obtain a marriage license. On their way downtown they determined to be married at once. They remarked in the Recorder's of- fice that they would be married by the firet minister they found. That they succeeded was evident from the fact that Mrs. Strauss, mother of the bride, received a telephone message from her daughter a half hour later announcing that she had become Mrs. Landau. “TI don’t know who married them,” Mrs. Strauss told a Post-Dispatch re- porter. ‘I’m too upset to talk about it.’’ According to the directory, Landau is a salesman.

Brakemen on the ears were yelling to the baby and waving their hands, but they made no effort to signal the engineer to stop Mra. Pangborn ran with her utmosi speed, but she was a step too late.

WOMAN LEADER ALTON HUMAN SOCIETY 1 SUED

Si. Louis Concern Wants Damages for Two Horses Killed by Mrs. Demuth.

eee 4 ’ Mrs. H. M. Schweppe, president of the Alton Humane Society, wife of one of Alton’s wealthiest citizens, and a so- ciety leader, was sued Friday with the Humane Society, as its president, for the killing of two horses belonging to the Polar Wave Ice Co. of St. Louis. The horses were killed July 5 by Mrs. Sophia Demuth, Police Matron, and agent of the Society. Neither Mrs. Schweppe nor Mrs. De- muth could be seen Friday, as they were out of the city on another horse killing expedition. The suit, which was filed in Justice Rose’s court, was for $155 damages, and grew out of the killing of two horses in the ice company’s pasture two miles from Alton. Mrs. Schweppe had _ been there were two horses in the suffering from sore shoulders and barbed-wire cuts. She sent Mrs. De- muth to investigate. Mrs. Demuth re- ported she had found one of the horses down in a ditch unable to get up and the other in such a condition that it could never get well. She shot both ant- mals. The pasture, where the horses were killed, is used by the ice company for horses which have been worn out by work in St. Louis. They are taken there to rest. The right of the Alton Humane So- clety, a branch of the Illinois State Humane Society, has never before beeen questioned, though its agents have killed many horses in the past few years. The case will be tried July 30. — informed pasture

- Poetic Production of “Pelleas and M elisande” _-- o--- Brilliant Audience Witnesses Exquisite Performance : Maeterlinck’s Play by stance Crawley and Company.

T ONE of the most beautiful mo- ments of the performance of “Pelleas and Melisande,’’ in the Bixby garden last night, three doves, escaping one by one from Melisande’s chamber in the old castle of Allemonde, flew out into th enveloping darkness beyond. It was the crowning touch of artistry in Constance Crawley’s production ‘of the Maeterlinck play—the peace and safety and happiness of Melisande’s life vanished with the vanishing of these doves in the night. Melisande hed come to love Pelleas, her husband's brother, as a wife should love no other than her husband, and already the shad- ow of a tragedy was falling across her pathway. A little cry of heart-ache and innocent foreboding came from her lips as her doves flew away from her and disappeared in the gathering gloom. An Evening of Poetic Delight. And the brilliant and fashionable audi- ence, the largest yet assembled at any performance in this series constituting the Open-Alr Dramatic Festival for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, instantly discerned the meaning of this exquisite bit of symbolism and surrendered themselves even more unreservedly to the charm of the play. It was an evening of poetic delight, surpassing anything of its nature ever before known in St Louis. And it was all so gossamer- like in its delicacy that one trembled in apprehension of some untoward mis- hap that might break the spell which it cast over those who yielded themselves to its atmosphere. But no mishap came to mar the per- formance and the spell remained un- broken to its close. From the moment when the white-haired King Arkel came on the scene at the play’s beginning, ac- companied by a big and graceful grey- hound that fitted Into the picture with fine appropriateness, to that dreadful instant when Golaud, the husband of Melisande,. lifted his little son, Yniold, upon his shoulder to neer into Meli- sande’s room and spy upon his wife and his brother, and thence to the fina! tragedy of the death of Pellers and Melisande; the movement of the story Was as nirfect as soul od its poet-author might desire. It was an evening of good fortune for the devoted little company, daring to produce a play that would be irremedi- abiv spoiled by the least misadventure in the playing. even ie The Marvelous Melisande of Craw- ley’s Pinying. The summer's night was enriched with the tonal splendor of Constance Craw- ley’s miraculous voice and the grace of her interpretative art. The elusive role of Meiisande geeins to appeal to her with a sort of temperamental kinship, and she plays it in a spirit of almost NMawless fidelity to its amazing blend- ing of idealism and realism. She makes Of Melisande in the play’s beginning a sort of baffling wood-nymph, a_ lost Sprite from some land of dreams, pro- jected haplessty into this hard and merciless worid, dismayed and bewild- ered alike by her strange environment. And then, step by step, comes the hu- man development of the strange child- woman, the dawning of the soul that Its to bring overwhelming sorrow and un- mcrited tragedy into her sweet life. It is a tremendously trying role, so haf- fling and so full of peril to any but the purest artist-mind that one marvels how a player finds courage for its attempt- ing. Miss Crawley’s achievement in the role is unforgetable—last night’s audi- ence carried away in their memories a figure of truthful beauty e@nd absolute poesy of conception that has no paral- Jel in all the vast gallery of stage crea- tions. It is, indeed; In many notable respects, the most important artistic creation of i\s age and is likely to form the enduring basis of Constance Craw- ley's fame when fits full meaning shall have become impressed upon the popu- lar. mind. Also will it be difficult to im- agine any one save Constance Crawley playing Meliieande, so absolutely does phe make the character her own. Adwirable Work by Supperting Com- pa y. The support rendered by the little company Was admirable. Mr, Luskmoor as Pelleas played with satisfying fin- ish, realizing gracefully the boyish in- nocence of the fole that accords so well with the utter purity of Melisande’s own soul. Mr. Arthur Maude made of the part of Golaud both a sinister and @ pathetic figure, touchingly appealing in its earlier contemplation of Pelleas and Melisande but as two unknowing children, suddenly terrifying in the shock of realization that Pelleas has wom Melisaude’s love from him, and Geeply pitiful in the remorse that fol- lows the slaying of Pelleas. The King Arkel of Mr. McKim was a dignified and impressive performance, Miss For- ence Lesile as Genevieve, the mother of Golaud and Pelleas, gave a worthy por. traval, and the Little Yniold of Baby Emrie was charmingly done, winning the love of the audience with its clever ingenuousness and scoring a nice little hit of its own, It was the competency of this child-player, indeed, which con- tributed much to what is, dramatically, the play's strongest scene, that where Golaud croes-questions Little Ynilold concerning the behavior of Pelleas and Melieande and then uses the child as @ epy upon the lovers, An Exquisite Secente Setting. The scenic setting of the play was very beautiful, especially the stage pic- ture presented by Pelleas and Melisande beside the mystic “spring of the blind,” @ little rock-grotto on the lawn, which brought the two players almost within arm's reach of their audience, and the scene of the wooing of Mellsande by Pelleas as the young wife leans from her chamber window, her long halr failing to her lover's lips as he stands on the grass below. Another exquisite picture was that witnessed when Pelleas nd Melisnnde stood in a dim and flick- ng light under one of the colonnade

Former Trusted Man Tells Employ- er Where He Has Gone. When. H. G. Turley, machinist, of 214 Locust street, returned from a three weeks’. vacation Thursday, he found one of his trusted employes missing. In his desk was a note from the man, which read: “I have done you wrong. You treated me kindly and I. hoped: to keep straight. But it is all my own fault. I know how much I have taken and will make it good to you if you will just give me time. Be patiént with me and I witli send back all I have taken.’’. The note mentioned a town in Iowa, where the man said he was going to visit his mother. Turley checked up his books and found several false en- tries. He also discovered a fraudulent check.

— Reasons tor seeking ‘Nine Children Are Candidates Nine Missourt Office )

Cornelius Roach of Carthage Issued Card Bearing Por- traits of Little Ones.

CARTHAGE, Mo., July \1°—His nine children are nine of the reasons given by Cornelius Roach, proprietor of the Jasper County Democrat, a Carthage * newspaper, why he should be nominated for Secretary of State by the Democrats of Missouri. He says on his unique campaign card that there are other reasons, but he evi- dently thinks them less forceful] than the Reosweltian anti-race suicide argu- ment, for he doesn’t state them. The picture, under which is an appeal from the children to vote for their fa- ther, fndicates that the candidate has not been as successful in rearing voters as in providing future homes with possi-

ble mistresses.

CRUNDEN TELLS. VOTERS NO ONE OWNS CONNET wr

Declares Young Man Would Be Circuit Attorney With- out Fear or Favor.

Councilman Frank P. Crunden warmly indorsed the candidacy of William C. Connett for Circuit Attor- ney in a gspeeeh delivered Thursday night at a meeting .of Eighteenth Ward Democrats at Thirteenth and Wright streets. Mr. Crunden said: “I am not at all well acquainted with the other candidates for Circuit Attorney, but I am well acquainted with Billy Connett, and I deem it my duty, as well as my pleasure, to ap- pear before you tonight in his behalf. “Some few years ago, having served as foreman of the grand jury for four months, I realized thoroughly the im- portance and absolute necessity of having a man of integrity, ability, and, above all, fearless fairness, to occupy this position. “The grand juries are utterly help- less to take the initiative in the prosecution of any criminal misdeeds. Their time can be filled. up with the vast amount of miserable petty crimes, and the large matters and wholesale offenders, through in- fluence, fear, or neglect, can be pass- ed up without the knowledge of either the grand jury or the people at large. Believes in Ability. “The reason that I am here to per- sonally recommend and vouch for Mr. Connett, is that I thoroughly believe, from the long and intimate acquaint- ance that I have had with him, that the office would be run by him without fear or favor; that even the large and in- fiuential corporation would receive no more censideration than the helpless and ignorant minor criminal; and when you come to think about it, why should aN “They know right and wrong better they have not the excuse of squalid conditions, and the worst kinds of en- vironments and constant bad example before them. “The theery that this office needs a criminal lawyer, to my mind, is not at all the case. rom the experience I have had I should say the office has been run too much on the line of the criminal side, and when I say ‘criminal’ [ mean the poor, low, ignorant and un- fortunate criminal. “What it needs is a man who looks at these people with a certain amount of sympathy, and studies the question deeper to know why these people are criminals, what influence or what neg- lect, either on the part of their parents or the public, has forced them frequent- ly into this class. “This office ahould be run on a higher scale, and should not be run for prose- cution of petty criminals, as much as to see that the public receives their just dues, and that anybody who tries to defraud or curtail the public rights should be brought to justice just as promptly as petty criminals. “Owned by No Clique.” “TO do this it takes a man with no political entanglements. It takes & young, aggressive, fearless, clean fight- er, and that is what Mr. Connett is. The man is owned by no clique, and, in fact, there seems to be a distinct desire on the part of certain interests to choke off this candidate, and this is one of the many reasons which I have for ap- pearing here tonight to advocate this young man on the basis that I have as above and which I knew and will guarantee to you, and to every other voter in the city ef St. Louis, personal. ly, will be carried out and will be his Pierhere into the nice- “There is no use ing into tiles of his intellectual! attainments, h's legal experience, or any of the minor) qualifications for the office. The main qualification, and ewhich ,after all, is the most important thing, end @ thing which we all want, is the man’s charac- ter, his willingness to fight fer the rat. and his ability to do it, and, for his reason, I trust that in the coming yng Your ballot will be cast for | iiliam C, Connett” EIGHT WEST POINT CADETS SENT HOME IN HAZING CASE Proof of Participation in “Disciplin- ing” Fourth Class Men May Mean Dismissal. NEW YORK, July 2#.—Ejight West Point cadets were sent home from the United States Military Academy to await the action of the Secretary of War in a case of hazing. This action caused the greatest sensation the academy has had since the dismissal of five cadets and the suspension of o.me_s seven years ago, and the congressional investiga- tion which followed the exposure of hazing brutalities. Nothing was given out either at West Point or in Washington concerning the offense for which the cadets have

SIX CANDIDATES SEEKING _ APPELLATE BENCH PLA CE Sh cid Judge Bland Wants to Be Re- tained in Seat He Has Held Twelve Years. ee PAYS $5500 PER YEAR

Three Aspirants for Nomina- tion From Each of the Leading Parties.

IITREE Democrats and three ‘Repub- T licans, including Judge Cc. C. Bland, the Democratic incumbent, are seeking nomination for Judge of the St. Louis Court of Appeals at the gen- eral primary election Aug. 4. The other Democrats are W. Christy Bryan and Alexander H. Robbins. The Republicans are Charlies A. Houts, George D. Reynolds and Nelson A. Moreley. The term of the office is 12 years and the salary is $5500 a year, or a total of $66,000. There are three appellate judges in the St. Louts district, .which comprises all that part of Missouri east of Spring- field. The terns expire in rotation, a new member of the court being elected every four years. The Kansas City Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over the Western mane of the State. These tribunals are clothed with su- preme authority in all civil cases in- volving an amount not exceeding $4500, Handles Civil Cases The great bulk of civil litigation is passed on finally by this body, but no cases are handled by the appellate courts, wherein questions are raised concerning violation of the State Con- stitution: All causes relating to constitutiona! issues are referred to the State Su- preme Court at Jefferson City. An important function of the Appel- late Court is the naturalization of for- eian-born citizens. It is recalled in this connection how the Appellate Court was deceived six years ago through the connivance of its Marshal, Thomas E. Barrett. Barrett and two of his political hench- mer, Long John Delan and former Po- liceman Garrett, were convicted on charges of fraud and forgery in the naturalization of alien residents of St.

It was shown at the trial of their cases that during the excitement of a campaign as many as 200. persons were granted citizenship papers in one night by the appellate judges. Barrett and his associates are now serving Penitentiary terms of five years each. Has Served One Term. , i'DGE BLAND, who has sat on the J Court of Appeals bench for the full term of 12 years, ts being op- posed for the Democratic nomination by W. Christy Bryan and Alexander NH. Robbins of St. Louis. Judge Bland had served two terms as judge of a circuit in Southeast Mis- souri. His home is in Lebanon, Laclede County. He ts a brother of the late Congressman Richard P. Bland, who won fame as an apostle of the free sil- ver cause. Judge Bland is 70 years old. His principal support comes from the coun- try, although he has many warm friends among St. Louis lawyers. In an address to the voetrs a few weeks azo, Judge Bland’s candidacy was indorsed by the following well-known’ S.. Louis lawyers: John F. Lee, John M. Wood, Edward C. Crow, O'Neil Ryan, W. C. Marshall, Charles P. Johnson, J. T. Jones, Edward C. Kehr, A. L. Abbott, Dorsey A. Jami- son, J. F. Hornsby, John A. Harrison, Lee Sale, John A. Blevins, A. C. Stew- art, Hilton Atkinson, John W.

Mr. Bryant has made an vass in the .various counties of the St Louis appellate district and is receivin: the encouragement of many well-knowr members of the bar outside of St. Louis. His candidacy is being promoted by a committee of the St. Louis Bar Associa- tion, consisting of Jesse A. McDonald, James A. Seddon, Theodore Rassieur, Frank M. Estes, John M. Holmes, Rob- ert H.

Editor and Lawyer. LEXANDER H. ROBBINS, the A third Democratic aspirant, is edit- or of the Central Law Journal. He is credited by his firends with a re- markably successful record as a lawyer- journalist. His practice in the courts, however, has not been very extensive.

Startling ballot frands were revealed in this contest and Wagner was seated by the Republican Congress. Subhse- quently Mr. Reynolds contested But- ler’s election for the long term and sought to use the evidence that had been adduced by Wagner in his contest.

Police Forced to Quell | English Demonstration | Against the Yankees a i A -— CONTROVERSY BRINGS

SEVERE CRITICISM FROM

>

Crowds Try to Balk Pole Vaulters and Shout Derision at Athletes.

eed LONDON, July 24.—The resentment shown by the English spectators against the American athletes spread today to the rep- resentatives of other nations and the demonstrations of ill-feeling became so great at times that the police had to be called upon to quell the disturbances. Even the large force detailed to preserve order were far from successful. The demonstration against the Americans, French and Swedish ath- letes reached its heighth during the pole vaulting events, when Gilbert of Yale, and holder of the world’s rec- ord, made a vault of 12 feet. The crowd “booed” each attempt of the athletes and became so boisterous and unruly that several open attempts were made to balk the athletes. One of the best programs since the opening of the Olympic games, coup- led with brilliantly fine weather, brought a big crowd to the Stadium early today. The first event was the pole vault event. The refusal of the officials to allow the American vaulters to dig a hole for their pole was strongly ob- + fected to, but the officials adhered to their decision and the Americans went in handicapped by having to jump with a spiked pole, an instrument to which they are not used. In the finals, Cook and Gilbert, both Americans, tied at 12 ft. 2 in., beating the Olympic record. The first section was won by A. C. Gilbert, Yale University, who cleared 12 feet. Archibald, Canada, was sec- ond, with 11 feet 9 inches. Clark 8. Jacobs, University of Chicago, cleared 11 feet 6 inches. Cook Alse Qualifies. Cook of Cornell won the next sec- tion with a vault of 12 feet 2 inches. ‘ Gray, the American, who holds a record of 12 feet 6% inches. was pres- ent, but though eligible, declined to vault on account of the iron-spike poles used. He declared them danger- ous. England and America broke even on two team events. England beat the Yankees in the team swimming con- test, but she was downed by the American team in the third heat of the 1600-meter relay race.

creased surveillance in order to give color to their scheme. That “Plot” Accusation, The judges say that they got wind of. the plan of the Yankees to foul Hals- welle. This is considered ridiculous, for if there were such a plan on foot no one Save the three Yankee entrants would have known of it. In addition to this, the three Yankees have reputations for being clean in athletic matters. It looks very much like a case of England determining to go to any ex- treme to save the reputation of Hals- welle, her only remaining athlete who stood a show of bringing honor to the British team. This was the one event that England had counted strongest on winning and Halswelle was the one ath- lete -whose defeat would have given English — a fatal crimp. Halswelle is saved, all right for tomor- row he will have the race handed to him tied with blue ribbon—-baby blue—as one of the Yankees expressed it. Soon to Be Over. The United States athletes are happy over the fact that there are but two more days of the mismanaged rumpus- producing meet and the athletes of other nations join them in their ae The net result probably will that athletic relations between Great Britain and the United States will be severed for years to come. Certain it is that a Yankee athletic team will not think of invading England until the last memory of the present Olympiad has vanished. It ig doubtful if even the college crews of the United States will consider future challenges. The concensus of opinion is tnat Great Britain has given herself the blackest eye in athletics that John Bull was ever called upon to wear. For a time the athletes from the Unit- ed States discussed the advisability. of withdrawing from the Marathon race, to be run this afternoon, and the remain- ing events on the program, bui it was finally decided to go ahead, as euch ac- tion would only have given the British- ers a further opportunity of whining. The English Views, The Standard quotes “a prominent athlete,” who is unnamed, as saying: “I should be sorry to say that Car- penter knew precisely what he was doing, but he so impedéd HMalswelle as to make it impossible for him to win. To have allowed the race to stand would have been a scandal. ls- welle was crossed more th ,once. The best runner in the world could mot have succeeded against such tac- cs. The Daily Telegraph goes far to- ward accusing the Americans of de- liberately planning to hamper Hals- welle. It says: “With three runners the Americans had a strong hand to play. They knew none of them wag equal to Hals- welle, so they were to help one an- other on their journey. It is the writer's view that all had a separate mission, although Taylor was no party to the plan laid down. He had no need to have it divulged to him.” “Deep Pilot” Seen, The Telegraph's reporter goes on in this strain to describe in detail his idea as to how the plan was carried out and asserted that the track aft- erwards showed nothing else could, how Halswelle had been made to run anything from 10 to 15 yards out of his reasonably proper course. Con- tinuliag, he says: ais suestoons and their trainer and manager hold to the extraordinary idea that none but a runner in the rear of another can foul or infringe the rules of path. If they do so seriously, then tn a measure the tactical operation of keeping Halswelle covered first by one man and then by another to give the vther members of the same team a clear and straight road for the winning post is to be accounted for, but it can never be condoned on the score of good sports- manship. “The suggestion was made because in Athens in 1906 was made the victim of almost identical methods.’ The Times Olympic reporter says: “It certainly seemed as if the Amert- cans had run the race on a definite and carefully thought out plan, it was not as if Carpenter, who forced Hals- welle to run wide and elbowed him se- verely as he tried to pass him had him- Self taken a wide curve at the band and then run straight on. He appeared to run diagonally, crossing in front of the Englishman, so that he was obliged to lose several yards and finally could only run on the extreme outside edge of the track. : “Fair and Impartial.” “That is a fair and impartial account of what happened so far as it could be judged to see how the council could have de- cided otherwise than as they did.

Undoubtedly the meeting has been a success and never since Demosthenes reeled off that famous 100 kilowatt argument at Athens has such high- Class lingual athletics been developed. The track and field games, judictous- ly provided by he committee in charge of the Gabfest and designed to furnish a medium of argument and debate, have been a complete success in the object for which chav were in- tended. Almost every event has fur- nished subjects for controversy. Up to the 400-meter debate of yes- terday, the two countries, Great Brit- ain and the United States, were about on even terms. America started out well, yrening the 1500-meter talk- fest by prov ng conclusively that Sheppard and Halstead had been done & grave injustice when they were drawn together in the same heat. The English had a walkover in the tug-of- war, when they demonstrated beyond peradventure that the British were not wearing the sort of shoes recog- nized in the best tug-of-war circles. The British won the actual athletic event, but that point was lost sight of in the more momentous struggle for the debating title. Those Awful Yankees! Great Britain evened up matters in the fish pond event when America was shown to have deliberately fouled the lines of no less than ten British con- testantg. The «great Marathon werd-throwing contest’ begun Thursday, is proving a complete success although the Amer- icans seem faltering about four folios from home. The race which furnished the topic for this truly classical con- test was the 400-meter event. At the cae vag time, despite a tendency to esitate from mere breathlessness on the part of the Americans, the argu- ment is so involved that no one is able to understand just exactly what is the matter—truly an ideal condi- tion from a Gabfest standpoint. With Saturday the close of the de- bate, the contestants have so far ex- hausted the Webster, Worcetter, Uni- versal, Standard and Century diction- aries, Appleton’s, Chambers’ and Brit- tannica encyclopedias and will hence- forth have to draw upon folk lore, Bunyan’'s Pilgrim’s Progress and such idiomatic phrases as are commonly employed by first-class mates on river steamboats while directing the ef- forts of stevedores. The Americans were somewhat sur- prised that they were left behind in the sprint arguments, but bY winning the Marathon talk, will go home sat- isfied. The meeting will adjourn Saturday until four years later, in order to give the contestants time to regain their wind. | We'll have to look to the Swede for hints in our future Olympics.

Browns In Giod Shape for Long Stay At Home McAleer’s Men on Road to St. Louis After Winning Last Game From Boston, 9 Vic- ‘tories and 8 Defeats In All.

BOSTON, July 24.—After homeward today. had expected. trip. lost five. lost. But the team is in the best of spirits and to a man believes it will climb back to the top in the race while playing the League series of games on the home grounds, which begin tomor- row. The team is im fine condition, in spite of the hardships of travel. With the Browns playing to form and getting an even break in luck, Boston proved to be no match for them. They handed the Bean team the first two games of the series here, then went out and won the last two by good and clean baseball. It was a sultry day and the heat is never conducive to the best results when Harry Howell is in the pitcher’s box. Keep Enemy Safe. But Harry weathered through nicely yesterday, showing a bit of wildness at times, but always keeping the enemy at a safe distance. hey did gathe eight hits off him, though many came at times when no one was on the bases, so but two rtins came over. He was using the “spitball’’ but little and depended upon his curve most of the time. Manager McGuire of the Boston team lanted a youngster on the mound. teele, who was tried by Boston last year, and then farmed out to a minor league club for expertence. Mr. Steele handled himself so gallantly under the fire of the heavy St. Louis that he is not likely to get back to the minor league for many years. But the Browns took advantage of his inexperience and lammed out 10 safe hits during the battle and the four runs came in easily. Crowd Bids Farewell. Boston turned out another big crowd of its select fans to give the boys a parting farewell. The Boston team started for Cleveland on the same train with the Browns. The crowd lauds the efforts of the Boston players as though they were right up with the leaders. Probably 6000 fans were present, and all were loud in their applause for both teams. Realizing that they must win yester- day’s game to cop a majority of the bat- tles of the trip, the Browns flew at the Red Sox with just a bit more dash and spirit than ever before. They opened the eyes of the opponents at the start of the game and made them know that they were outclassed. Then, when- ever the Red Sox would pein into line for a rally, the Browns would pull off some startling piece of fielding that would drown all of Boston’s hopes. CRUSINBERRY’S COMMENT. That’s three out of eleven from the Boston team. The Browns will have to win every one from Boston for the bal- ance of the season to break even on the year.

Boston is an easy club to beat when their goat is tied. It has an inexperi- enced infield and outfield and mistakes are vent. It has speed, but that is about all. It’s a long ju: p from Boston to &t.

Although the violent antipathy of thugs and grafters to “Bill” Connett is one of the highest recommendations that a candidate for Circuit At- torney could possess, and although Connett de- serves their hatred by his past and present atti- tude toward them, nevertheless it is worth noting that he is indulging in no fuss or pretensions as a “reformer.” Connett is not a theatric self-exploiter. He is not a “solar walker.” There is nothing of the ‘holier than thou” spirit in him. Modesty and simplicity are keynotes of his character. He is a plain-spoken, hard-working, everyday sort of fellow; and even his energy is of the quiet or silent kind—the kind, by the way, that gets re- sults. Executive capacity is marked in his ac- tions. As to purely legal capacity, he has had ample training and an active experience somewhat wider, _ for instance, than Folk’s was at the time he undertook the office. Lawyers themselves rezard Connett as a competent lawyer. Honest, fearless, keen, strong and capatile, he is easily the choice among the candidates for this office of pivotal importance, from the standpoint of those who would have a clean and progressive ' city administration. The President’s enthusiasm for a great navy may be explained by the fact that two warships are at his disposal and he has “a perfectly bully time” with them. ih te. onkias, - wre MR.

The most remarkable purely accidental meet- ing of celebrated St. Louisans happened at the Plaza Hotel in New York -the other evening. _ According to an esteemed morning contempo- _ Wary, it happened like this: | ‘Gov. Francis walked down the corridor, and whom should he meet but H. Ciay Pierce, h “Well,”’ was Mr. Pierce's greeting, “I certainly did + MOt expect to see you here!" Just at that moment Festus J. Wade strolled into the hotel. 5 “Why, here comes Wade!" exclaimed the former © Governor of Missouri. “Strange, isn't it, that we “should meet like this? And look who's here! As by Jove, here is John Scullin with him?’ Sure enough, it was. Jim Campbell and John Boullin joined the group and then everybody ex- “pressed surprise that so many men from 8t. Louts should meet in the same hotel by accident. And there the story breaks off—in the best part, like a thrilling detective story.

Referring to the popular belief that William S. Cowherd’s relations with Harry B. Hawes are such that, if Mr. Cowherd were Governor, Mr. Hawes might expect to gain control of the Police Department and the election machinery of St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch asked if, in the event of Mr. Cowherd’s election, Mr Hawes would be Deputy Governor 80 far as this city is concerned, In the course of a speech at Savannah on Wednesday Mr. Cowherd said: “If I become Governor of this State, I will’ ac- cept the advice of any g00d Democrat, but I want it understood that there will be n@ députy ~gover- nors. No truthful man can say I have promised any person in this State appointment to any po- sition within the gift of the Governor's office. I want to say further that not a single friend of mine in this State has ever suggested or talked to me about appointments in the event I am elected.” This is excellent as fa~ “s it goes, but it does not go very far. air. Cowherd is well acquaint- ed wiih the situation in St. Louis, and he needs no instruction in the history of Missouri poli- tics’ and politicians. He is familiar with the abuses that existed here under the old gang. He knows all about the Folk reforms. It ought not to be necessary to inform him that most St. Louisans contemplate with alarm a ‘possible return to the conditions which these reforms cured. Because he is in possession of all the facts, Mr. Cowherd’s reply in general terms to the Post-Dispatch’s inquiry must. be accepted as wholly inadequate. It does not meet the case. There is a perfectly reasonable desire in this community for further light on the subject. Mr. Cowherd must meet the issue frankl¥ or pre- pare himself for the consequences. He may defeat Ball at the primaries. Can he defeat Hadley in November? A man of ability and of gubernatorial stature ought not to blight his own chances of suc- cess by equivocation. If he takes no higher ground than that of expediency, Mr. Cowherd may be assured that the Missouri reform move- ment is stronger in St. Louis than the defeated and discredited old gang ever will be again. a A Ap, i i A Tt R. will revise Mr. Taft’s speech, but it is a »solemn fact that nobody ever revised T.

Political campaigns call some men to the hustings, some to the, writing desk,.some to council, some to the torchlight, the horn or the drum, some to the checkbook and all to the ballot box. In war many a patriot shoulders a gun and en- ters the ranks, but there are others equally de- voted who find plenty to do at the rear. If every- body entered the field armies would soon per- ish under the assaults of hunger, nakedness and disease. The plan devised at Lincoln, Neb., for raising a great campaign fund through the agency of Democratic newspapers has the fault of placing an additional burden upon the shoulders of an element which is already doing its utmost to ad- vance the cause. It is like asking soldiers in war to grow the crops and rear the cattle on which they are to subsist. Owing to complications not now necessary to dwell upon, thick and thin Democratic newspa- pers have not of late been able to collect more money than they needed for themselves. To ask them to fight the fight and pay the expenses also would seem to be unreasonable. e¢eo@e Let the Colonel take , heed lest he be known as Bawl. = = —- /S. DANCING MASTERS IN COUNCIL. The first international congress of dancing masters, now in session in Berlin, proposes, es- pecially “to choose a commission to encourage uniformity in two or three dances, such as the waltz and lancers, in every part of the civilized world. So that the resident of one country may be able to dance at least a few figures in any ballroom.” If there is any one thing needed more than an- other in this round world it is a commission which shall not only encourage terpsichorean uniformity, but establish and maintain harmony, and so synchronize the waltz and two-step that anybody can go on the floor, assured that he knows how to dance and will not merely skip about like a calf at large. Dancing is often jumping. Dancers are jump- ers—not holy jumpers, but plain obnoxious jump- ers. Margaret Fuller once said that real dancing was art, but Emerson opined that it was religion, and probably such a notion can be derived from the Pythagorean doctrine of measured, rhythmic motion as the essence of life. However that may be, dancing is a pleasant recreation and ought to be protected against the jumping habit of clum- sy men who have no sense of time, measure or proportion. A commission's the thing—an international commission sitting as a high court of grace and beauty, composed of the dapperest dancing mas- ters of all nations. We need a constituted au- thority to make plain to us the difference between ——" kicking and rhythmic motion. a Lp Lp. a a. ae andi’ Oil and some of the other wicked cor- porations have been pretty heavily punished on paper, anyhow, in more senses than-one.

It seemed safe for women and children and literatteurs and college professors. There was nothing more bois- terous about it than @ lot of revolutionary his- tory, and its acute repose breathed a considerable suggestion of the classic and the quiet shades of Academe, commingled with the wafted odors of the gentle and pacific bean -baking. But it becomes necessary to revise our notion. From repeated news of late we gather that un- less a man is agile enough to keep dodging con- stantly behind the spreading elms of Boston he is likely to get hit with the stray bullets whiz- zing through the streets if he ventures outside of his classic boarding house.

Cars on Delmar Avenue. fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the Post-Dispatch of Monday, in the column of “Notes and Queries,’’ I find this erroneous reply given to “J. E."’: “There was never a street railway on Delmar boulevard between Grand and Vandeven- ter.’’ The Washington avenue division of the old Lindell Railway, in the horse-car days, ran both two- horse cars and “bobtails,’’ drawn by one horse. The larger cars followed.the route now traveled by the Page cars, out Washington and Lucas avenues to Grand, which was as far west as they went. The ‘“‘bobtails,’’ however, turned west on Delmar to Van- deventer, north on Vandeventer to Finney, east to Grand, and south on Grand. The stables of this “bobtail’’ \line were on the southeast corner of Van- deventer and Finney. I cannot tell just when this line was built, nor in what year it was abandoned. I know it was there in 1883, and I think it remained until about 1887. ARTHUR GARRISON, 2940 Pine street. Cowherd and Hawes. zo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Speaking of Mr. Cowherd, among other things, you say: “It is known that he is favored here by the local representatives of the old gang. If elected, is he to be their particular friend and servant? Are his relations with them so cordial that on his as- sumption of office we may find Harry B. Hawes in control of the police establishment and the election machinery of this city?’’ This is answered by Mr. Cowherd’s own speech when he addressed the Jef- ferson Club, stating that he approved of such or- ganizations and that if he was elected .he would stand by the friends who are supporting him. You know what Mr. Hawes and the ringleaders of- the Jefferson Club stood for and how the nucleus of that political organization carried elections. Do you think that a politician like Mr. Hawes is supporting Mr. Cowherd for Governor without knoWing what to expect? You also have an idea of what Mr. Hawes and his political associates would do if again restored to power in this city. CHAS. J. MAURER. Dissolution of the Bones. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, . A current issue states that a man was taken to the City Hospital with dissolution of the bones. There is nothing surprising in this when taken into consideration the great privation now prevalent. It is impossible for people to get the necessary vegeta- bles for their systems. Vegetables contain the min- erals that promote proper chemical actions. Fruit keeps the blood pure. With the abundance of vege- tables and fruit produced it is a crying shame people should suffer for them. It is a fact that persons who take alcohol in their systems, retarding the re- production of cells, which also weakens the system. The hardship of getting the proper nutrition to give force to the cells, making up for thin waste, is the cause of a great deai of the sickness. Persons who refuse to regard rules of health should be locked up and fed on oper food; then perhaps they can be impressed With the knowledge that self-indul- gence not only injures themselves but affects all others, as hospitals, poorhouses, insane asylums all have to be kept up out of production, which should be distributed for the good of all people in a natural way.

Photographers say that the camera can't lie. But ask-any woman who has had a snapshot taken of her when she wasn't expecting it and she'll say un- printable things. If the camera doesn’t Me, why doj blondes come out brunettes, and why does sweet sixteen’s face look as lined as an Indian chief's? No more snapshots for the belle of the beach! By very reason of denying herself to the camera she will reign as belle in the heart of its owner for many a long day to come. Even the most faithful swain is disillusioned when he develops the kodak pictures of his fair one and traces in her face relation- ship to the ladies of Endor, and in win- ter, when he turns over the pages of his album, those frightful snapshots of her in instantaneous end ungraceful poses

By the way, that greatest of artists, Sarah Bernhardt, who, at the age of 64, played Prince Charming last winter, never allows a snapshot of herself to be published without seeing it first and adding a few careful touches with her deft paint brush to the print.

KING JAMES I AND J JOAN BEAUFORT.

How a Queen Avenged the Murder of Her Lord. “Retold for the Post-Dispatch By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE.

tured in 1405 by English officials at he was on his way to France to be educated. The boy was James, only living son of King Robert LI of Scotiand. England and Scotland were forever quarreling with each other. So the capture of the latter country’s little crown prince was looked on as a master stroke of diplomacy. Robert Ill died the next year, after trying in vain to persuade the English King to set his son free. The lad at 18 became James I of Scotland, and remained 18 years longer as a prisoner ih Ergland. The English treated the boy kindly. The best tutors were provided for him. He was also taught warlike accomplish- ments, without which no thirteenth cen- tury youth's education was complete. The prisoner king as he grew to man- hoed won fame as an athlete and as a poet. Once gs he stood looking down from the window of his castle prison he saw a tall, beautiful girl wandering among the roses and lilies In the gar- den below. At first sight the lonely man was attracted by her loveliness, and he became henceforth her devoted piave. So eloquently did he plead his suit that the maiden soon returned his love. She was Lady Joan Beaufort, daughter of the Barl of Somerset and kinswom- an to the English King Henry IV. In her honor James wrote a poem entitled | N li-year-old Scotch boy was cap- “Ye Kingis Quhair"’ (‘The King’s Book- let"), and he consecrated his life to her service. Now a match between thes- two was just what England most de- sired. It would form a bond between the two rival countries and would, make English influence strong n Scotland. So James and Joan were permitted to marry. Their wedding was celebrated in February, M424. Then En- giand allowed the tch to ransom their captive King, for $290,000, and the young couple, rejoicing In their freedom, north to reign + a Scot- land. Their descendant, Jafnes VI of Scotland, was destined to become James I of Bngiand, and thus unite the two kingdoms. The newly released monarch found his kingdom in a terrible condition. The country was ruder and more lawless than England. It was overrun with corrupt politics. The powerful nobles oppressed the poor and took to them- selves almost royal privileges. Laws were ill-enferced, Everywhere the hand of @ master was urgently needed. James had a tremendously difficult task be- fore him. Those who looked on bim only as a dreamy, love-sick poet thought he would be content to let matters rest as they were. But they were mistaken. With an tron hand he subdued the haughty nobdies, crushed misrule, put traitors to death, made wise laws and in countless ways Dullt up the country and reformed its ment. For 12 years he and Joan Under their rule the land pros- But the nobles hated the King, eieeeees a et tat conspired against him. The leader of the conspiracy was Sir Robert Graham. With a band of assassins Graham planned to seize and murder the King at the first safe opportunity. James and Joan with their children and a small party of attendants rode to Perth to spend Christmas at the monastery there. On the road thither a wild-eyed old Highland’ woman who had the name of being a prophetess 4Ahrew herself in front of the King and implored him to. turn back, declaring that he rode to his death. James, again his wife’s advice, paid no heed to the strange warning. Late that night Graham and his accomplices, with 300 Highland clansmen, surrounded the monastery and broke down its doors. There was a cellar under James’ cham- ber. In this vault the King and Joan were thrust By their faithful servants. The bar on his bedchamber door had been stolen. So Catherine Dougias; one of Joan's maids of honor, passed. her arm through the fron hoops that had held the bars. She heroically kept her arm there until it was broken by the pressure of the assassins’ shoulders from the outside. Then Graham and his men burst into the room, They found the trapdoor leading to the vault and sprang upon the doomed monarch. Joan threw herself between her husband and his foes and was wounded by a sword thrust. The King fought gallant- ly and slew two of his assailants be- fore he was overcome and murdered. Joan amply avenged his death. She had the country scoured for the assassins, and as each Was caught and put to death by horrible torture she whispered the captured man’s name in the ear of her dead husband.

THE HUSBAND WHO NEVER GROWS UP. This Charming Child Is Among the Twenty Undesirable Mates De- scribed for the Post-Dispatch. By NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH.

HEN you first marry him he seems utterly charm- W ing. You have always pretended to be grown up yourself because, being 20 or more years old, the world expects it of you. Then you meet him. Anda suddenly;~"without warning, he calls your bluff. He dis- covers that your real age is about 8, and he would have you believe that his is 10, although you have a well-de- fined suspicion that it is not really more than “going on seven.’’ The most absorbing game that children ever play is that they are grown up. The most delightful game that grown-up peOple ever play is that they are chil- dren. The man you profer to play it with is the man you love. You marry him. Then after a year or so, when tidying the apartment, cooking the dinner, washing the dishes, etc., have ceased to be the intensely interesting and romantic occupa- tions that they seemed when you were really 8 and took important charge of dolly's dishes and dolly's clothes and dolly s house, something happens that makes you grow up. It may be a critical financial crisis, it may be illness, it may be anything, indeed, which spells the fateful word Responsibility. But in whatever guise it presents itself, it brings with it an appaling realiz- ation, that to whatever seriousness it has sobered you, your husband has re- fused to grow up under it, and, after two or three such experiences, you look into the eyes you love so well, you study the smile about that mouth from which, it seems to you, the wisdom of the ages should be uttered, and it comes to you that you have married a Husband Who Never Grows Up. You begin to resent the very qualities that seemed to you so rare and Wwon- derful, the boyishness that had come up smiling and untarnished from the years of sordid lovelessness or light loving before he met you. If you have children and your little boy says, when you remind him of some behest you have. given him, ‘‘Mamma, I forg.t,’’ you kiss him and never think about it till the next time. When “Mamma, I forgot,” strikes on your eéar sweetly as ever, it's atonement none the less for repetition. But his father’s “Why, my dear, I never thought of it,”’ has not the sameé perennial power. After you have heard it fifty or a hundred times you ask yourself fretfully—perhaps you ask him—why he didn’t think about it. You assure him that he should, that any man with any decency or consideration would, etc. Perhaps he walks in some morning from a journey after wiring you to ex- pect him the night before. Meantime you have mourned a thousand times his death in the raffroad accident which you know is the only thing which could have prevented your hearing the reason for the delay. You have not slept all night, but you are lying down from sheer exhaustion. For hours you have been on the thin edge of self-control. ‘Hello, dear! What's the matter?” he calls brightly at the door. “Oh, you're not dead! You're not dead! Why @4idn't you telegraph me?” you sob hysterically. He gazes at you with a bland smile, tolerant pity that the phlegmatic man always feels for the highly-strung woman. “Why, my dear, I never thought of it,” he says amiably. And though you revile his thoughtlessness for hours—as, of course, it’s perfectly futile to do— it's all he can say, alt he can see. ‘ Perhaps The Husband Who Never Grows Up has made you older before your time. You may carry the burden of years for two, but it is your lot. You chose him above all others for the very thing that constitutes his handicap. All you can do is to amuse him—spin his tops, roll his hoops, love him if you can for the charming child he 1s, and take up the white man’s burden yourself. Cengeettes MIKOLA ; GREELEY SAITH

E NIN CHEN TANGLA. }

HE most important discovery we made in thus traversing diagonul- ly the whole of Tibet was the gi- r gantic chain of motntains we crossed by the Sela Pass, which is over 19,000 feet high, says Sven Hedin, tn Harper's Magazine. How little this chain of mountains had hitherto been dreamed of is evident from, amongst othe things, the supposition indulged in by Sir Thomas Holdrich in his book. “Tibet the Mysterious,” that the great central lakes (Dangra Yum Tso, Nganzi Tso, etc.) were the sources of the Brahmaputra's northern tributarles— that is to say, that there was a stretch of relatively flat coufitry where in real- ity we found there was one of the high- est ranges of mountains in the whole ‘world, a chain which can be compared only with the Himalayas and their kind. Capt. O'Connor suspected their exist- ence by hearsay. The chain known as Nin Chen Tangla, which is situated south of the Tengri Nor, was wel! known and had been crossed by Little- dale and several others, but no one knew that this chain stretched for close upon 1200 miles to the wast- -northwest, as I now discovered. It is a certainty that it also stretches to the east, and has a total length of about 2090 miles. The average height of the passes is some few hundred meters higher than in the Himalayas and about the same as in the Kara-korum and Arkataugh. Mighty as is this excrescence on ihe earth’s surface, the Tibetans have no name for its s«xhole length. Countless local names are given to the various parts of it. As the range will In future have to be included not only in a knowi- edge of the world, but also tn the school books, fit becomes necessary for it to have a name, and so far as I can see it would be best to keep to the name by which its highest point is already known, viz, Nin Chen ,Tangla. It sounds strange, when one considers how thoroughly the world hes been explored, that In the year 1907 it should be vouch.- safed to any one practically to discover a range of mountains 2000 miles long, and the surprise of the discovery 1s Ia- tensified rather than diminished by the fact that here and there the country traversed was already known. And let us remember that such a diseovery can- not be made again, for there is no blank | space big enough on the map of the ‘world to contain such a range of moun- tains. Many have used the following as a cure for tired, aching feet and found it very beneficial: Place the feet in warm water for about 5 minutes. Dry with soft cloth and then, while the — are open, hathe with X-Zalia, 4 iquid that can be had at drug stores. This treatment not only rests the feet for the time being but if persisted in brings permanent relief. WE PROMISED NOT TO TELL.

TAFT 10 GET A MEMENTO FROM SF, LOUIS. O. P , -— Resolution, First to Indorse Him, to Be Presented in Cincinnati.

A copy of the resolution of the Re- publican City Committee indorsing Wi)- liam H. Taft for President, adopted in October, 4/07, is being embossed on parchment to be presented to the presi- dential candidate immediately after Senator Warner's notification speech in Cincinnati next Tuesday. The resolution is historic, as it was the first indorsement of Secretary Taft by any Republican organization in the United States. It also precipitated a bitter fight between the Republican State and City committees. The State Committee had refused to indorse Mr. Taft as a presidential can- didate at a meeting in September. The indorsement of the City Committee was followed by a campaign which finally resulted in Taft's getting the entire deelgation from the State. The em- bossed resolution will be rolled in a handsome leather case. Will Depart Menday Noon. About 100 St. .wuis Republicans are making arrangements to depart at noon Monday for Cincinnati to attend the Taft notification ceremonies. Senator Warner of Kansas City is chairman of the Notification Committee, and Jeptha D. Howe, chairman of the City Com- mittee, is the Missouri representative on the committee. Word was received from Cincinnati Friday that the Republican Glee Club of St. Louis will be afforded an oppor- tunity to appear at all of the notifica- tion ceremonies. The Glee Club will hold its final rehearsal at Concordia Club Hall, M41 Chouteau avenue, at 3 p. m. Sunday. The members of the City Commiéit- tee, Repubiican candidates, officiais and others have been Invited to attend the rehearsal, The 37 members of the gsiee club, with its ten directors and its musical directors, will go to Cin- cinnat! with the delegation, Song to Rap Demoecrata, Henry W. Kiel is president of ‘the giee club and E. J. Troy is secretary. The glee club has several up-to-date songs which will be sung at the noti- fication meeting. One of the songs is an adaptation of “Waltz Me Around Again Willie.” In its present form it contains many shafts aimed at Bryan and the Dem- ocratic party. Alfred G. Robyn, the composer, is head of the glee club and A. E. Hab- berton is the musical director, The Republicans of the Twelfth Ward will hold an open air mass meeting at McNair and Ann avenues at $ p. m. Friday. All of the Re-

publican city candidates have been invited to speak. | ~ + ~ ‘ + . ‘ pre ae a. Re 3 e . 3 2 B93 Sisk ae : “. 2 " “a » - Te oe ae — bs.

GIRL IN LOVE, HE SAYS: Frisoner’s Story of Killing Astounds the Police Investigators. NEW YORK, July %4.—Policeman Da- vid E. Shellard of Brcoklyn is held @ prisoner after an amazing confession that he was present when Barbara Reig was killed in the shelter house of Irving Square Park, Brooklyn, two nights ago. The man has not been formally charged with murder, because he insists that the woman either committed sul- cide with his pistol or accidentally shot herself witn it. | The police say that the giri was drugged and assaulted before killed. Shellard and a fellow policeman named Rudolph Koehler were tae men who dis- covered the woman's dead body in the toolroom of the little shelter house. From that moment until evening yester- day, when the pressure of accumulating evidence overpowered him, Shnellard tn- sisted that he had never seen or spoken to Barbara Reig. When the body was identified in the morning by the dead woman's mother, Shellard looked on with a pretense of indifference, as if the body or the name meant Hterally nothing to him. It was only when an’ BHaster postcard was found among Barbara Reig's effects, signed “Dave,” in the undisguised hand- writing of Shellard, that he broke down and made what ne called “a clean breast of it.”’ Shellard’s story is that the woman, madly in love with him, caused him to give her a rendezvous in the shelter house, wept bitterly when he repuised her pleadings, and finally shot herseif with his revolver. Up to the moment of the confession Inspector Hussey and other police of- ficlals were finding it hard to credit the evidence against Shellard. He is married and lives with his pretty and devoted wife and child. His habits, so far as known, had been beyond criticism, and In the 13 months of his service on the police force no black mark had been made against him. He had reiterated his former denials and had bécome sulle ‘giient) His face had grown ghastly white and his lips were twitching. : Suddenly he straightened up fn bis chair, turned to Inspector Hussey, and sald: , “Well, I'l make a Clean breast of it. I did know the woman and was with her when she killed herself with my revolver. “On the night of the shooting. My post covered Irving Square Park, at Hamburg avenue and Wherfleld street, and I was attending strictly to busil- ness. It had been raining bard and I wore my long storm coat over my uniform. As near as I can remember, it was 1 o'clock In the morning when I was accosted by a woman. She was Barbara Reig. bareheaded and seeming- ly much excited. “I took her to the little shelter house in the park. After entering the tool room I struck a match and iit the gas. Then I took off my rubber storm ‘coat and my blouse and hung them on the nall in the wall, directly over a long wooden bench. My next move was to lay my night stick and my revolver on the bench and got out my pipe, which I filed and lit. “At Barbara's request I put out the lizht, as she sald it might attract the attention of anyone who might happen to pass. “In the meantime Barbara had taken off her skirt and hung it on a nail beside my two coats. The skirt was | wet and made her uncomfortable, she said. “She talked rapidly in a low votce of her love. I explained to Barbara that the interview must end and she must go home at once. I was deeply sorry for her, but my conscience was clear, because I had never given her any en- couragement. I had never wronged her in any way. Throughout the hour we passed.together in the dark room I had done or sald nothing improper. “Tl stepped to the wall and reached for my coat. As I did this IT could feel the girl's shoulder against mine. She, well as I could make out ip the ness, was reaching for her skirt. | as a matter of fact she had pick had taken my uniform blouse from nail and was thrusting my right the sleeve when there came @ report and a blinding flash. “When I managed to gather I struck a match and lit the woman lay on the cover of a beside the bench on which we had been sitting. Blood was streaming from wound on the right temple pistol lay close to her side. “I picked up my gum tore coat and rushed out of the house.

Some time after the wife returned to her husband, Sletten was taken into the home as a roomer against the wishes of the hus- band. Branitzky heard Sletten quarreling with his wife in the kitchen. Mrs. Bra- nitzky cried for help and rushed into the. room where her husband was con- fined in bed with a plaster of paris cast about his body. Sletten followed and tried to drag her from the room, when Branitzky reached under his pil- low for his revolver, kept there for just such an emergency. He fired at the man without taking good aim. There was a second shot and Sletten, with two bullets in his body, reeled from the room. When he fell at the front steps Mrs. Branitzky rushed out and fell prostrate over the body, imploring him to speak to her. She was kept in the house with difficulty when the body was away. After the shooting Branitzky made a statement to inspector Hunt. “You don’t blame me for what I did, do you?’ he asked. ‘‘He snould have been killed by me years ago.
