POST-DISPATCH EXPOSE STIRRED BEGGS TO ACTION James Campbell, North American Co. Director, Tells of a Conference He Had With Chief Relative to Change in Management; — Hartley Williams Successor. Wilfred Van Nest Powelson is slated for retirement as presi- dent of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. Mr. Powelson’s resignation is said to have been tendered the Board of Directors of the company after a conference with John I. Beggs of Milwau- kee, who represents the Western interests of the North American Co. Mr. Powelson is not now in St. Louis. James Campbell, a direc- tor of the North American Co., told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he had a talk with Mr. Beggs relative to Mr. Powelson’s retirement as head of Union Electric, but Mr. Campbell added that he was not in a position to give out an interview on the subject. c. H. American directors, city. at is said a sweeping change in the mr agement of the company will be made. Other executive officials than Mr. Powelson may retire, : Hartley Williams as Successor, Hartiey Williams of the New York Edison Co. will ‘succeed Mr. Powel- gon as president of Union Electric. Mr. Williams has been in St. Louis looking over the Union Electric plants and busi- Ness, and it is expected that he will shortly assume the duties of Mr. Pow- elson's position. Mr. Powelson is absent from St. Louis looking after some of his own business interests, and it is not expected that he will return to St. Louis in the capacity of president of Union Electric. It is said Mr. Williams will make Such choinges in the management of the eompany as may be wnecessary to “square” it: with the public. Begas “Called” Him After Expone, The rupture in the management of the company is said to be due to the fact that John I. Beggs wanted to hold Pow- eleon responsible for the troubles of the company with its consumers, as shown by the Post-Disvatch in its fight to have a public utilities commission ap- pointed to investigate the public service corporations, Seapegont for Beges. Mr. Powelson is said by his friends to have been working all the time prac- tically under the direction of Mr. Beggs. It is said ‘that he did not think he should bear all the blame for the com- pany'’s troubles, and that the friction between him and Mr. Beggs finally reached a point. where his resignation Was demanded and. ‘yen.

The schedule was prepared, according to . excellent authority, with a view of increasing the company's revenues approximately $6500, - 000 a year. Mr. Powelson was formerly assistant to John I. Beggs when he was president of Union Blectric. Beggs retired as president something more than a year ago and had Mr. Powelson elected to succeed him. Since Mr. Powelson went into office he deposed H. P. Coates as secretary of the company and elected H. C. Spoeh- rer to succeed him. An intimate friend of Mr. Powelson, who declined to have his name used, said: “Mr. Powelson was told by the of- ficials higher up in the North American Company that he had to make Union Electric produce a certain sum of money every month. “Mr. Powelson went to work in accord- when the new schedules, with che high mini- mums, went into effect, both being ap- proved by the North American authori- ties, there was a storm of protest on the part of consumers. “The officjals of the North American Company criticised Mr. Powelson for getting the company into trouble, when as a matter of fact they were to blame for it by issuirig the orders which he carried out. He resented the criticism as unfair to him. He contended that he was not respon- sible as president of the company for the numerous complaints on the part of consumers, when he was merely carry- ing out the policy of the North Amer- lean Company to get all the money it could out of them.” Mr. Powelson is a naval man and re- tired at the close of tne Spanish-Amer- ican war with the rank of commander. There has been complaint among his Superiors that he ran Union Electric ip accordance with naval rules and regu- lations, as he would a battleship, treat- ing the employes and the public as en- listed men. While Mr. Powelson was in the navy he was regarded as an expert in elec- et matters. MIDNIGHT SHOTS SCARE TRAINMEN UN TAFT S CAR ——- -@- ee Enthusiastic Republican Causes Railroad Employes to Pre- pare for Attack. HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 9.—William H. Taft and his family arrived here at 10:4 a. m. today, after a trip from Cin- cinnati, which was uneventful save for an early morning salute at Huntington, W. Va., where an over-enthusiastic Re- publican discharged fis revolver along- side the Taft car and caused the train-; men to tura out on the double quick, prepared to repel invaders, As the shots were fired in the alr, the Taft enthusiast was not rebuked, even though his celebration was pulled TRAGEDY VICTIN SUPPOSED TO BE SIUDIO SLAYER , » Clothing Buried With Bullet- Pierced Body Similar to Brogan’s. FOUND IN THE RIVER Jealous East St. Louisan Had Been Missing Since Pho- tographer’s Murder. Clothing like that worn by Givens Brogan, the jealous husband suspected of the murder of A. J. Magill in his Eas: St. Louis photographic studio, was buried with the -body taken from the river at Crystal Cityy Mo., with bullet wounds in the head. Facts learned Thursday by Post-Dispatch reporters lead to the belief, shared by the police of St. Louis and East St. Louis, that the unidentified body near Crystal City, was that of Brogan. Edward Brogan, a son, said Thurs- day that the description of the body fit- ted that of the missing man. He said Brogan wore a belt with a brass buckle. Such a belt was found on the body. Brogan had been missing since the tragic death of Magili on the afternoon of July ll. It is now believed that Bro- gan shot himself and leaped into the river, or was murdered and his body thrown in. Constable Brent of Festus, who had charge of the body after it was taken from the water, said Thursday that the body was “all humped over’ and that he was unable to straighten it com- pletely. Brogan Stoop Shouldered. Brogan was so stoop-shouldered as to appear almost a hunchback. The body was taken from the river as clad, in a good suit of blue serge and a white shirt. Brogan put on a white shirt and a new blue serge suit when he left his wife on the Saturday afternoon of the Magill murder, telling her he was going to do something she would be sorry for ali her life. Brogan was 50 years old. The body found at Crystal City was described as that of a man 45 to 55 years. The only particular in which the de- scription of Brogan does not agree with that of the body is that Brogan wa3 described as smooth shaven, while the dead man had a sandy moustache. Thijs difference may be accounted for by the more than two weeks intervening be- tween Brogan’s disappearance and the apperent time of death of the man in the river. Marder Coroner’s Verdict. Tittle attempt was made to identify the body at Festus, and it was buried “Vednesday after the formality of an injuest, held by Coroncr Hansiey of Pevely. The Coroner and. Constable Brent caine to the conclusion that thc man was murdered, They based this opin- int on the two bullet wounds, one i: front of the right ear, the other unde~ the chin, and the fact that the pockei;3 were turned inside out. ‘irs. Susan Brogan, wife of the miss- ing man, declared after the killing of Megill that she hoped Brogan would be cuptured and hanged. She «iid not hes- iiate to accuse him of tiie “iurder. Magill was a Roosevelt Rough Rider and had a magnificent physique. He was acquainted with Mra. Proran, wiro was more ihan ten years older than he. Her huscand was increasingly jeal- ous of him, and Magill had been rned against the man’s anger. Mrs. Brogan said after the murder that she was out at a phonograph par- ty the night of Friday, July 10, Magil! not being present, and remained until early Saturday. When she got home, she said, Brogan accused her of hav- Ing been in Magill’s company. Smashed the Furniture. Then, she said, he smashed several articles of furniture. put on his best clothes and departed with the threat of doing what.she would regret. He would never return home, he said. She replied that she did not care. That afternoon two men, sitting in a window which commanded a view of Magill’s photograph gallery, saw a man resembling Brogan enter the place, shake hands with Magill, then draw @ revolver and shoot him in the right arm. They looked on, in the fascination of terror, while the man clubbed Magill with the butt of the revolver, and, as the photographer fell, shot him in the top of the head. When the alarm was given, the man was not found. Investigation showed that a man looking like Brogan had purchased a revolver at a pawn shop. The weapon he bought was of 38 caliber and the bullets taken from Magill's brain were of “correg@ponding size. REFUGEE TURKS MAY 60 HOME Sultan Proclaims Amnesty for Po- litical Refugees.

It became known to- day that Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussia, second cousin to the Kaiser, and Marie Sulzer, known as the Baron- éss Liebenberg, were married on Aug. 15 of last year. That marriage was the culmination of a romance which has scandalized Eu- rope, excited the Kaiser to a state of wrath even for him, and stirred the House of Hohenzollern as it has been Prince Joachim is the second son of the late Regent of. Brunswick, Prince That distinguished nobleman was one of the most haughty, the most unbending, the most uncom- bers of the royal family. His son, a great, athletic fellow of 32, was a favorite of the Kaiser because of his soldierly qualities, his distin- guished appearance and his talent, which expressed itself in the writing of clever plays. It was that penchant for playwrighting which brought together the Prince and Marie Sulzer of the Tri- anon Theater, Berlin. Dancer Six Feet Tall. Marie Sulzer is not considered a beauty, but is of striking appearance. She is six feet tall and has the build of an amazon, with a wealth of fair hair and an exceedingly pleasant smile. So far as was known in Berlin, her character was unimpeachable, but her station, of course, was exceedingly humble. She is three years older than the Prince. When Prince Joachim met her he fell head over heels in love. The Kaiser, fearful of a mesalliance, banished him for a time to Africa, and Marie se- journed in Paris. But when the Prince returned, she, too, came back and the courtship of the pair was resumed. “If the woman only were noble, it wouldn't be so bad,” stormed the Kaiser. Prince Joachim told his sweetheart of the imperial remark and she ingeniously set out to become “noble.’’ A marriage broker was retained and he found in Vienna a small, impecunious puppet who bore the name Victor Julius An- dreas, Baron von Liebenberg. Poor as he was, however, his title was one of the oldest and proudest in Austria. Paid *®7500 for Title. For $7500 he consented to marry Mme. Sulzer and then, after she had gotten a legal right to the title baroness, to commit such acts as would warrant her obtaining a divorce. Half the fee of the husband was to be paid at the time of the marriage, half after the divorce had heen obtained. Prince Joachim, Mme. Sulzer and an elderly female companion went to Lon- don. There also went Baron von Lieb- enberg. in tow of a marriage broker. After everything had been arranged, at Brixton. The Baron and Baroness departed from the scene'in the same carriage. But around the corner the vehicle was stopped and the Baron alighted, raised his hat and strode away on foot. It was the first and last time he ever saw his wife. ' The Baroness returned to Berlin and subsequently the Baron, accompanied by the marriage broker, repaired to May- ence in France, where he carried out ais part of the contract relative to the publishes news ca Bes by the Associ- | ated commission of acts which would entitic | wie wifp to sue for divorce.

Lottie Reckford, 18 years old, of 1009 the latest victim of went Chouteau avenue, lawlessness in St. Louis County, to Clayton Thursday and swore to a warrant for the arrest of the two men and the woman who are alleged to have assaulted her. The warrants were against Nelson Knulsen of 927 Ann avenue, and Helen Bowen of 314 Quincy street, St. Louis, who are already in the custody of the police of St. Louis, and William Woerner of St. Louis, who is yet at large. His address is known to the authori- ties, but they refuse to make it public. He is said to be the son of a South St. Louis merchant. GirPs Arms Are Scratched. The scene of the crime is near Gar- densville, about. 8500 on the Gravois road. The ‘girl bears numerous scratches on her arms, which she says, she received in the struggle. Her clothes were torn and her hair pulled down. Knulson told the police that no at- tempt Was made to throw the girl out of the buggy. ‘‘We were standing near the ditch and she fell,’’ he said. The Bowen girl denied that she held her hand over Lottie’s mouth. The girl was assaulted on the Gravols road in the county about midnight Tues- day. The two young women were in a buggy with the two men. On the way to the county they stopped at Washing- ton Park on South Grand avenue and drank some beer. “The young man with whom I was sitting,” said Miss Reckeord, ‘‘made several remarks which I resented, and later, when we got out of the buggy at Miss Bowen's suggestion, he knocked me down.” Knocked Down, She Says. “He did not knock you down. You fell into a ditch,” interrupted the Bowen wirt. “You know better than that” declared Miss Reckeord, “He knocke@ me down and you placed your hand over my mouth, so that I could not make an outcry. Mr. Knulsen stood by and wit- nessed the whole thing, but hé teok no part in it. I was struggling to free myself, when the farmer rushed out with his gun. “Then I was dragged into the buggy and because I continued to scréam for help the young man who had knocked me down grabbed me by the neck and threw me into the road. Several farm- ers who had pursued the rig picked me up and gave me carfare to get home. They told me they would inform the police of what had occurred.

Coyne and horan quarreled at a ward meeting Wednesday night at Union and Easton avenues, and both were arrested. At the station Horan charged Coyne with disturbing the peace.

Coyne is under sentence for two years in the Penitentiary for perjury. His conviction grew out of the House of Delegates bribery transaction, which-re- sulted in the conviction of Delegate Warner and Assistant Clerk Naughton. peal bond. Clerk Thomas J. Leonard of the House of Delegates was making a speech at the meeting Wednesday night when the quarrel started. He was indorsing James A.

YOUNG BANKtH STOLE So00l OR HONEYMOON —_——@—___—- BOSTON, July 30.—According to the police, Harvey T. Wells, formerly cash- ler of the First National Bank, Keno- sha, Wis., who was arrested here last night, confessed today that he had taken about $6000 from the bank. He gave as a reason his desire to marry Miss Florence E. Winniston, the daugh- ter of a wealthy retired trader of Lon- don, whom he had met in Chicago. He stated, the police cay, that for a time he took small sums andin Sep- tember, 1907, eloped with Miss Winnis- ton to New York, where they were mar- ried. . Mrs. Wells went to England and Wells returned to Kenosha. Shortly after- wards he is said to have told the police, he took $3200 in a lump, left his home, joined his wife in England, and together they went on a tour of the British Isles Wife Gave Up Jewels. Then they came to Montreal when their money gave out. Wells confessed to his wife and they resolved to come to Boston, get work and pay back the money to the bank. They did this, buying ovt a lodging house with money obtained by selling Mra. Wells’ jewels, while Wells found a position in Cambridge. Then the 4r- rest put an end to their dreams. Mrs. Wells visited her husband In the Tombs today and gave him pathetic as- surance that she would stand by him. Wells says that he will not oppose @x- tradition, but will go back to Wisconsin and throw himself on the mercy of the court. Wells was arraigned before United States Commissioner Hayes today and was held in $6000 ball, pending his return to Wisconsin tomorrow. He appeared without counsel and was later committed to Jafi, not being able to give bail. Although only 21 years old, Wells was cashier of the First National Bank at Kenosha. He ieft Kenosha suddenly last October, and, when the examiner discovered a shortage in his accounts. detectives followed him to England. where he had joined his young wife.

The legal Gefect the Mayor has dis- covered in the bill is said to be the fact that the bill, when finally passed by ments, received only seven votes. The charter provides that a ewe-thinde- vote of each house is necessary to. a bill creating a new office. The lic utilities commission is, technically, a new office, or rather five new offices.

Robert Ferguson and Harry Ertling Learn All About Way of Transgressor.

Robert Ferguson and Harry Ertling learned all about the way of the trans- gressor when they tried to ride bare- back through city streets a young horse : which they had stolen in the country. The horse, which was not city-broke, shied atevery street car and automobile he saw on the way from Jennings, St. Louis County, to Broadway and Main Street, East St. Louis. Every time he Shied, one or both of the boys fell off. The boys made the mistake Thursday of trying to sel] the horse to Night Chief of Police Doyle, who was stand- ing at the East St. Louis corner named, and soon were in a cell at the station. “taee, but we're sore,’’ was all the boys had to say after they had confessed the theft and had been informed of war- rants sworn out against them by the horse's owner. Bay Horse a High Jumper. The boys are both 19 years old and live in Jennings. Harry Ertling used to work in Henry Wilhelm’'s grocery there. The grocer’s handsome bay buggy horse, which he valued at $250, took their fancy, and Wednesday night they enteréd the Wilhelm stable and led the an’mal away. The horse carried them patiently to Baden, then saw a Broadway car round- ing the loop at the terminus and gave such a jump that the youths were Pitched into a hedge. They ran two blocks to catch him and remounted, only to be thrown again as an automobile honked at them. Nearly Pitched in River. They led the horse until they were tired of walking. Every block or two he shied at some unfamiliar object, and ‘they were dragged at the end of the hatter after him, once bumping into a wagon in their effort to keep hold of thé horse... Then they got on his back again, were thrown, remounted and alternated in thig way to Eads Bridge. Crossing the bridge one of the boys wis nearly thrown ,into the Mississippi from the frigky animal's back. They deeided t ; couldn’t stand going any farther, and offered the horse to Doyle for $75. They did pot seem to care much when he arrested them. INSANE WIFE KEPT PRISONER BY ROCKEFELLER’S GARDENER Her Screams Cause Cleveland Neighbors to Complain After Thirty Years. CLEVEPLAND, O., July 3.—The wife of John Hottois, the aged gardener who has had charge of John D. Rockefel- ler’s downtown home at East Fortieth street and Euclid avenue, was removed to the Newburg State Insane Asylum today after she had been confined for 30 years in a little room in Hottois’ home. , Hottois obtained her release from the asylum 30 years ago, after she had been confined 10 years. Neighbors did not know the source of the unearthly screams coming from Hottois’ house, but they complained and Mrs. Hottois was found in an iron-barred and cell-like room, Qik xi “IT did what she would have done for me.

Screeton Carries Tack Driver Three Weeks So He Can Pound Nack. @Queansas

It cost Arthur Screeton of 4226 Lucky street to strike Jacob J. Nack on the head with a tack hammer when he met him coming from a lodge meeting in a hall at Vandeventer and Finney ave- nues, together with Screeton’s divorced wife, Mrs. Margaret Screeton. Screeton had separated from her because she joined the organization. Screeton said in the Dayton Street Po- lice Court Thursday that he had carried the hammer in his pocket for three weeks in order to express his displeas- ure by knocking Nack, who, he said, persuaded his wife to become a member of the ‘“‘Universal Friends of America,”’ a fraternal organization for men and women. Screeton and his wife had been mar- ried 19 years and had three children when they were divorced last Novem- ber. Until Screeton two years ago, when Mrs. joined the “Universal Friends’’ trey had lived happily, he said, but @creeton objected to the “Friends” aid Mrs. Screeton filed suit for divorce. He did not fight the case. Since then Screeton said that he had often seen his former wife with Nack, who is prominent in “Universal Friend” circles. He finally armed him- self with the tack hammer. When he saw them leave the Universal Friend meeting Wednesday night, he made use of it. Nack also was charged with disturb- ing Screeton’s peace, but Judge Pollard released him. Nack lives at 3108 North Jefferson avenue, and Mrs. Screeton at 1527 South Seventh street.

BIRD AND BEE EXPERT WILL VOTE FOR BRYAN THIS TIME Roosevelt’s Attack on Nature Fak- ers Loses Him a Friend in Indiana. HARTFORD CITY, Ind, July %.— Agitation over nature faking has made a Democrat of Isaac W. Brown, the Rochester bird and bee expert. Brown spoke on “Birds, Bees and Bryan” in the public square last night, and de- voted most of his time to Bryan. When President Roosevelt attacked the book of the Rev. W. J. Long, the naturalist, and dubbed him a nature faker he lost the support of Brown. The latter told his audience he had voted for Roosevelt twice, but when the President had crossed swords with Long over the ‘story of the snipe put- ting its broken leg in splints the speak- er came to the conclusion that Roose- velt was too dictatorial. . He is an admirer of Long. and says he is the best posted man in the coun- try on birds and bird life. MARRIAGE QUIET, NOT SECRET The statement in the Post-Dispatch Monday that Gustavus H.

Summerdon could not be found and it is supposed he left East St. Louis soon after. the fight. The trouble resulted from the divorce suit filed Monday by McCreary's wife, Annie. She alleged that her husband had treated her cruelly. Wednesday night McCreary went to the saloon of John Badmiester in Robert place on the outskirts of East St. Louis. The sa- loon is close to the homes of the prin- cipals in the affair. There McCreary met Summerdon, the brother of his wife. They sat down at a table and ordered drinks. Summerdon asked McCreary about the divorce sult. “Oh, there's nothing to that,” said McCreary. ‘‘I’ll fix that up with An- nie,’’ Special to the Post-Dispatch. LEBANON, Mo., July 30.—Because his 17-year-old bride had begun a suit to annul their marriage, Grover Willough- by went to her home and shot her through the heart after a struggle with her mother. Then he killed himself as her father, Samuel Loague, ran toward him to wrest the revolver from him. A week ago Willoughby induced Nora Loague to marry him despite the objec- tions of her parents. He swore in ob- taining the marriage license that she was 18 years old. When the couple went to the Loague home to ask forgiveness, the Bride’s fa- ther beat his new son-in-law with a hickory stick and sent him away. Wl- loughby had hig father-in-law arrested and fined for assaulting him and Loague had Willoughby arrested for swearing falsely regarding his bride’s age. Angered by Suit. Mrs. Willoughby at the instance of her parents filed suit Monday to have’ marriage annulled. Wednesday af- ernoon Willoughby bought a revolver and cartridges and started into the country toward the Loague home. Mr. Loague heard of the purchase while in town and started in pursuit of his son-in-law. Willoughby reached the house first and rushed into the sitting room where his wife and her mother | were sitting at work. Mrs. Loague grappled with him to take away the revolver he carried, but Friends of Sigmund M.

NEW YORK, July 30.—With a Roman | Catholic’s seapularastheirchief clew the New York police are trying to estab- lish the identity: of the woman whose charred body, found in a bonfire on a public dump in Brooklyn, furnishes the last New York murder mystery. One witness has been found who saw a covered wagon near the dump and a bundle thrown from it.a short.time be- fore Joseph Ruddick discovered the fire in which the body was found. According to the story of young Rud- dick he awoke in a stable loft about 4 o'clock, looked out’ over the dump and 'gaw what he took to be a big bonfire | burning briskly. He called his father, and together they went to the fire and extinguished it. No sooner had they re- turned to the stable than the fire started anew, and they retraced their steps to stamp it out. | This time they saw in the embers of | the blaze the outlines of a human form. After they had swept away the fire -and débris which was feeding it, the partially burned body of a woman, lying face downward on a mattress was dis- ' closed.

VOTERS CONNETT RIGHT MAN W. L. Igoe Declares He Is Ideal Candidate for Cir- cuit Attorney.

IS HONEST AND ABLE

Other Orators Tell of Qualifi- cations of Popular Young Lawyer.

William L. Igoe praised William C. Tonnett as an ideal lawver for the of- ike of Circuit Attorney at a meeting Wednesday evening at Grand and Ran- lolph avenues, in the Nineteenth Ward. Applause frequently interrupted the tpeaker. In the course of his address Mr. Igve wid: *“T want to say a word or two in be- ealf of a man who is a candidate for he high office of Circuit Attorney of it. Louis, Mr. William C. Connett, and ny reason for doing so is that I believe in attempt is being made to make it ppear that Mr. Connett is inexperienced tnd too young for the position. “The statutes of Missouri provide hese qualifications for the Circuit At- ' jorney: He shall be a person learned mi the law, duly licensed to practice as im attorney-at-law in this State and mrolied as such, and shall be at least years of age. é Qualified for Position. “Mr. Connett is riore than twenty-one rears old and a graduate of the law lepartment of Washington University, the law course of which is recognized is one of the best in the United States. He received his degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1901, was enrolled and licensed © practice in this State. He has prac- fced his profession in this city, and tas made a reputation among the mem- vers of his profession as an honest, able ind fearless lawyer, ever careful of the nterests of his clients. His felléw-law- fers respect him as a man and as a practitioner. “Connett possesses all the qualifica- ‘Hons for the office and will make the strongest candidate the Democratic par- y can select to give battle to his Re- publican opponent. If elected he wil! Miminister the affairs of his office with \beolute impartiality, will not use it to punish his enemies nor to benefit his iriends. He will give every one a square feal. He is under obligations to no in- Myidual or organization, but is making alg fight for the nomination, relying tpon the incividual voters for his sup- port.”’ ; Secullin Lauds Connett. At @ meeting at January avenue and Arsenal street, in the Twenty-fourth Ward, William A. Scullin also lauded -onnett. He declared that he had known the candidate in classroom and in legal practice, and knew him to be highly tualified for the position of Circuit At- torney. He declared that Connett would become the ‘protector of all classes” seeding protection from crime, and that 8@ would never misuse his power for telfish purposes. At a meeting at Union boulevard and Easton avenue, Attorney Harry E. Schroeder spoke in Connett’s behalf. He sald the city needed a Circuit Attorney who would not only accomplish the gen- ral routine of criminal prosecutions, but would “investigate and pursue with vigor the various machinations and sombinations of the wealthy public serv- corporations which have the citizens ind taxpayers of our city absolutely within their merciless grasp.” WAGES WAR ON THE RADICALS Free-Thought Lecture Starts ' Discussion Involving Church and Press.

MEETING TO BE HELI) -

Indignation of Worshipers Will Be Voiced Against the Dissenters.

In the Bohemian colony clustered about the Church of St. John of Nepomuk, Eleventh and Soulard streets, a bitter religious controversy is being waged. Friday is the day set for the formal opening of a crusade by the orthodox Catholics of the district against those who are accused of attacking the faith. Dr. Pelan, a freethinker from Prague, spoke in the neighborhood a week ago. Since then those who went to hear him and those who allowed him to speak have come under the disapproval of the devout Catholics of the parish. Rev. Father Charles Bleha, pastor of the Church of St.-John of Nepomuk, has been visited by fervent members of his congregation, who have urged him to hurl anathema at the offenders. Redicals to Be Fought. n Friday morning the Hlas, the Bohemian organ of the orthodox Catho- lics, will call upon all the true de- fenders of the faith in the district to take action against the radicals. It will announce that on Monday night an in- dignation meeting will be held in the School Hall, opposite the church On Sunday morning the announcement will be made from the pulpit of the church, In the Bohemian colony for many years religion has been the cause of bitter quarrels. A few years ago & man who had spoken ill of a priest was hurled bodily out of a building and nar- rowly escaped with his life. Papers Engage in Fight. Besides the Hias there is another Bohemian paper in the’ district called the St. Lovski Listy. The Hias is the older of the two papers. At first the rivalry between them was a journalistic one only. But tecently the two papers have been hurling challenges at each other on religious topics. When Dr. Pelan, the free thinker, was on a lecture tour a clique in the parish asked him to lecture at the Bo- hemian Gymnasium Hall, at Ninth street and Allen avenue. The lecture was delivered there last Sunday night. ROOSEVELT PUTS 0 K ON PLAN TO SHELVE HUGHES Unless Popular Demand Is Strong, Governor Will Not Be Renominated. By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 30.--President Roosevelt has O K’d the scheme of the Republican machine bosses to shelve Gov. Hughes. State Chairman Woodruff went to Oys- ter Bay and informed the President that the leaders were substantially unani- mous in the opinion that Gov. Hughes would prove a weak candidate because of the opposition he has aroused among racegoers and others. The President announced emphatically that he would keep hands off. & Unless an unexpected emergency ar- rives before Sept. 14, when the conven- tion is to be held, or unless an over- whelming popular demand for the Gov- ernor’s renomination is mage, Gov. Hughes will be refused a renomination. Speaker Wadsworth is the favorite candidate, but it is to be the policy of the bosses to let matters drift and put forward no candidate before the dele- gates meet at Saratoga. ee ee ee

GIVES ST. LOUIS MAN SURPRISE Didn’t Know What Kind of Clothes He Needed in Canada.

BUILDING A RAILROAD

Superintendent of Construc- tion Company Tells Experi- ences in Far North.

After spending four months of Arctic winter in the extreme northern part of Canada, over 500 mies from the north- ern confines of civilization, where until three years ago few white men had ever penetrated, George Bedford, superin- tendent of the J. Hy. Reynolds Construc- tion Co., and a former St. Louisan, is visiting friends here before returning to spend three years more in the Arctic wilderness. Mr. Bedford is in charge of the con- struction of a portion of 150 miles of the transcontinental railroad which is being built under the direction of the Canadian Government. He and 100 work- men have been confronted by almost in- surpassable difficulties in carrying for- ward the work. “The region in which we have been working is the thickest bush country,” said Mr. Bedford to a Post-Dispatch re- porter. ‘‘We have been compelled to cut out way, step by step, through almost impenetrable undergrowth. Climate Astonishes Him. ‘The cold in that region is intense. A temperature of 50 degrees below zero is nothing unusual. When I arrived last March at McDougal! Chutes, the nearest settlement to Perry Sound, where our wrk is being done, I had made no prep- arations for the climate and was clad as I had left St. Louis. The natives gazed at me in astonishment. The first thing our foreman there did was to rush me over to the supply house and fit me out with suitabie clothing. But I was al- most frozen before I secured it. They gave me two suits of the heaviest wool- en underwear I have ever seen, three pair of heavy woolen socks and the heaviest of outer garments, and bun- dled. my feet in moccassins and what they call ‘‘shoe packs.’’ Such an outfit they considered only ordinary clothing. “The day after my arrival we started in sledges drawn by dogs from’ McDou- gall Chutes to our camp at Perry Sound, a distance of 150 miles. That night we slept on the snow. When I awoke the next morning I found my- self imbedded almost three feet. “T goon became accustomed to the strenuous life of the country, however, and am now able to walk 40 miles a day on snow shoes with a pack on my back containing my tent, bedding and’ pro- visions. Yankies*+Are Unpopular. “There is a great prejudice in the far North against Americans. We are all called Yankees and cordially hated by the Indians and the few French-Cana- dians of that district. This has hin- dered us in our work. ‘The Indians are constantly victim- ized by the few traders who venture that far north. The traders will place side valuable mink and other skins un- til the two sides balance. On this basis the exchange is made. The trader re- celves sometimes over/$300 worth of pelt in'a single exchange such as this. It is a skin game in more senses than ” . Bedford, who is stopping at 813 Mar- ket street, has been besieged “4 his friends since his arrival in St. Louls for souvenirs of the northern wilder- ness. He has given away moccasins, snow shoes and articles of Northern clothing until his supply is almost ex- hausted. He will start in a few days for his return trip to Perry Sound.

Four-Cornered Fight Over Circuit Attorneyship Is in Doubt.

MACHINE VOTE IS SPLIT

Neither Connett, Walsh, Otto or Cummings Holds Bal- ance of Power.

In the opinion of Democratic leaders, the four-cornered fight, for the circuit attorneyship nomination at the general primary election, Aug. 4, will be decided by independent Democratic voters. Careful analysis of the situation in various wards indicates that the Demo- cratic machine strength—that is, the vote credited to practical party workers —will not exceed 15,000. Two-thirds of this vote probably will be cast for Campbell Cummings and W. C. Connett. Harry Walsh will poll the greater part of the remaining one- third, while Carl Otto must look out- side the organization for material aid. Friends of Delegates Fred Warner and Fred W. Priesmeyer and all the influ- ences identified with the House of Dele- gates combine are lined up in opposition to Connett’s candidacy. Miles-Daley Crowd for Watsh. The City Committee, under the leader- ship’ of Lawler Daley and Justice of the Peace “Jimmy” Miles, dominates the Second, Third, Fifth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Twenty-sec- ond wards. These wards are Walsh strongholds. Harry B. Hawes, leading the Jeffer- son Club organization, is supporting Campbell Cummings. Connett’s organization help is confined to three or four officeholders at the City Hall and several Democratic lieu- ténants, who believe he is the strongest man that can be nominated for the po- sition. It is recalled that Connett is the man who set.the trap which led to the in- dictment of Delegates Priesmeyer and Warner on charges of bribery growing out of the passage of the Ascher garage bill. Warner Men Support Walsh, The Warner men have been powerful in the Second Ward for some time. They say they will give 600 votes to Harry Walsh. State Senator Kinney--political master of the Fourth and Fifteenth Wards— is friendly to Cummings and bitterly opposed to Walsh, who, he says, is un- fit for the office. Kinney is not making a fight against Connett, although the latter does not hope to obtain more than 200 or 300 votes in these two wards. The Fifth Ward, controlled Jargely by Speaker Conran of the House of Dele- gates, is conceded to Walsh. In the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth wards, Carl Otto will be sup- ported formidably, but indications are that Cummings will carry the machine vote of those wards by from 300 to 500 majority, Louis Kunz, former secretary of the Board of Election Commissioners and a power in South St. Louis, is urging Otto’s claims. Connett Strong in Twelfth. Connett is making good headway in the Twelfth Ward and may carry it. In the Thirteenth, William J. Fiynn, Assessor and Collector of Water Rates, has assumed personal charge of the Connett interests. Practically all the precinct committeemen in this ward are working for Connett. Cummings is their second choice. Justice of the Peace O’Hallaron is di- recting the Connett workers in the Twenty-first, where Cummings also has considerable strength. If Committeeman Clooney can control the Twenty-third Ward, Connett will lead the other candidates there. John McCarthy, an old Butler man, however, and at one time dictator of Democratic politics in the Twenty-third, is work- ing hard for Walsh. The Twenty-fourth Ward is for Cum- mings, but Connett, according to the organization estimate, should offset that result by capturing the Twenty- fifth, the home of Mayor Wells. Brennan vs. O'Callahan. “Pokey’’ Brennan of the House of Delegates combine is handling the anti- Connett workers in the Twenty-sixth. The Connett men are relying on Den- nis O'Callahan of the City Comptrol- ler’s office to make a good showing the s. Thomas J. Leonard, Clerk of the House of Delegates Combine: Tom Leahy and Bob Coyne, who was con- victed of perjury in connection with the paving scandal, have organized to down Connett in the Twenty-seventh Ward. Building Commissioner James 4A. Smith has assured Connett managers that the south end of the Twenty-sev- enth will be safe for Connett. The north end, he says, is in doubt. Cummings has several men pushing his candidacy in the Twenty-seventh and will divide the bulk of the vote there with Connett. The Twenty-eighth ca is counted for Connett by at least 000 Voters Not Considered. There are at least 40,00 Democra names oh the registration books ae the above calculation, based on the toe formation of the ward captains, leaves out of consideration Practically 25,000 "The politicians are Claimi primary election will ng that the be disappointing.

% Opponent Is Stealing His‘. {So ie Party’s Planks. * Special to the Post-Dispatch. LINCOLN, Neb., July 30.—William J. Bryan believes that William H. Taft does not like the Republican platform upon which he must run for the presi-f dency and is looking longingly at the Democratic platform upon which Mr. Bryan stands. This is the meaning which Mr. Bryan puts upon Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance. In a statement issued Wednesday, Mr. Bryan says: “The most noticeable feature of his speech is his attempt to amend the Re- publican platform by engrafting upon it’ some of fhe pianks of the Democratic platform. He is evidently not satisfied with the work of his convention and is deeply impressed by the work of the Democratic convention. “He is uncharitable, however, in not giving the Democratic party credit for having pointed out the reforms which convention repudiated, but which he, in a half-hearted way, in- dorses. The speech shows that he fears the uprising which Republican abuses have eaused’ and yet hesitates to adopt his real and substantial reforms.” critical trial.

LIKE THE ODD FELLOWS Organizer Says Surplus Should Be Sufficient to Care for ‘All Poor. The sick benefit system as applied by the Odd Fellows lodge and other se- cret organizations has been adopted by the Christian Church in the Society of Applied Christianity, with headquarters at 903 Aubert avenue. . The plan of this organization is to have members of the church join the society and pay monthly dues. Then, when one of the members becomes sick, he receives benefits in proportion to the amount of his dues. The scale of dues is based on that of the Odd Fellows and it is estimated that this will give a surplus sufficient to care for all the sick poor in each community which has one of the societies. The Rev. EB. F. Harris of Colorado is organizing the work here. He said: “The church is the agency through which God seeks.to save and serve the world. The church is founded on, and should exemplify, the principle of love. The church, therefore, to be consistent with its mission, should be actively at work serving man in his material inter- ests as well as in his sipiritna! interests. ‘ Failed in One Particular. “But little fault can be found with our work in our attempts to convert the world, but because we have not adjusted our methods of applying the principles of Christianity to the material needs of our fellows to meet present conditions we have miserably failed in this particular. “Changed conditions demand a change fn the methods through which service fis rendered the worthy poor. Present industrial conditions absolutely prevent one neighbor from caring for another in sickness and the misfortunes of life, as men did under different conditions 50 In trying to care for the worthy poor of the church and the com- munity under present conditions, the church has been forcing them to re- ceive charity or suffer. "This has tended to build up a pro- fessional beggar class on one hand and @rive the self-respecting cla&és from the church into fraternal orders on the her. © -; ‘The new movement recognizes the need of a new department in the church operate with one another in applying the principles of Christianity to the af- fairs of life.”’ Ten Societies Formed. The organization is two years old, and there are ten of its societies in Western cities. ; The Rev. Mr. Harris says that with their dues the Odd Fellows build sani- tarlums and orphanages and save a large surplus. The Society. of Applied Christianity has the same dues as the Odd Fellows and its expenses will be smaller, be- Cause it will meet in the church. It should have an enormous surplus with which to care for the sick poor of all derominations, says Mr. Harrts, ER ee eS ee Eee “OUR GIRLS Restored to Health by Lydia E.

WORK COSTS — $50,000 Congregation Also Expects to Have Regular Pastor by Winter. Plans of the congregation of the King’s Highway Presbyterian Church, King’s highway and Cabanne avenue, when consummated will involve one of the most unique architectural feats in the building history of St. Louis, A huge stone church will be carefully taken apart, stone by stone, and transported 16 blocks, where it will be restored, as nearly as possible to its original form. The united congregation of the King’s highway church, which in- cludes the former membership of the Lucas Avenue Presbyterian Church, Channing and Lucas avenues, will de- molish the Lucas avenue church, and use the materiat in the construction of an addition to the Kihg’s highway edifice. Work was begun Monday morning on the addition to the church. The structure to be erected will in reality be the main church, as the present building is only a chapel. To Spend About $50,000, On this work the congregation expects to expend about $50,000. It is planned to have the new church ready for occupan- cy by winter, when the congregation hopes to have a new pastor. e Rev. C. P. Goodson, who was pas- tor of the King’s highway church up to the time of the consolidation of that church with the Lucas avenue church, resigned and since then there has been no regular clergyman. The church members plan a number of other improvements, and will begin a campaign of institutiona wiork, when the new structure is finished, that will surpass any previous effort of the church. An 18-piece orchestra already has been organized. It is under the direction of a skilled leader, and holds frequent re- hearsals. TAFT AND BRYAN T0 BE ASKED TO THE COLISEUM CEREMONY Cornerstone of New Building Will Be Laid Aug. 26, With Speechmaking. The cornerstone of the new St. Louis Coliseum at Jefferson and Washington avenues will be laid Aug. 2. A commit- tee has been appointed to invite Wil- liam J. Bryan and William H. Taft, the two presidential candidates, to attend the ceremonies and deliver addresses. The Board of Directors of the Coli- seum company met at the Mercantile Club Wednesday afternoon and decided upon these plans. Max R. Orthwein, chairman of the Committee on Invita- tion, was instructed to take up at once with the national committeemen of the Democratic and Republican parties the question of inviting Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft to attend the ceremonies. The construction work on the Coli- geum started 90 days ago. The founda- tions are all in, and some of the floors have been laid. SOUTHERN SOCIETY LEADER DIES FROM GAS POISONING Mrs. Joseph Thompson of Atlanta Found Dead Under Peculiar Circumstances. ATLANTA, Ga., July 30.—Mrs. Joseph Thompson, for years a leader in At- lanta society, and one of the most beautiful and accomplished women in the South, was found dead under pe- culiar circumstances. Death, it is said, was due to gas poisoning. Mrs. Thomp- son's health has not been good for a llong time, and it is said she has suf- fered from melancholia. Mrs. Thompson was the daughter of Maj. Livingston Mills. At her home in Brookwood she had entertained Presi- dents Cleveland and MeckKinley, Vice- President Stevenson and Mrs. Potter Palmer. In 189% she was president of the Woman's Board of Managers of the Cotton States International Expo- sition held here. She leaves, besides her husband, one son, Livingston Mills Thompson of New York. GIRL SAVES BOY’S LIFE, BUT GRIEVES FOR SPOILED SHOES While Men Searched for Boat Brave Miss Plunges Into Stream and Rescues Drowning Lad. BURLINGTON, N. J., July 30.—"‘I'm glad I saved him, but I don’t konw what j my best shoes,’’ was the only comment Grace Farlee, 14 years old, would make when praised for her bravery in saving the life of 8-year-old Fred Schard. The boy, playing on a wharf on the Assiscunk creek, a swiftly flowing stream, stepped too near the edge and fell overboard. Several men, working on the wharf, either because they could not swim or feared the perilous current, began searching for a boat instead of jumping in. Grace Farlee saw the excitement among the men and, running to. the water's edge, plunged overboard and swam to midstream in time to snatch the blouse of the little fellow when he ‘appeared. She then floated and swam with him to the shallow water, where the mén pulled both ashore. Wright's Lee Broken in Fight.

THURSDAY—S8T. LOUIS F POST. DISPATCH—JULY 30, 1908,

AENSBOY SEEK TENN ~ NOED BY GIRLS + J. P. Crowley, Captain of Post-Dispatch Alley, Ex- pects to Win.

. St. Louls newsboys have a candidate for the State Legislature in John P. Crowley of 4277 Lee avenue. Crowley is the captain of “Post-Dispatch Alley,”’ having graduated from the _ sales- workers’ ranks about five years ago. He is making the race for the Demo- cratic nomination for Representative in the Fifth District, composed of the First and Twenty-seventh wards and pre- cincts 4, 10, 11, 13, and 14 of the Nine- teenth and precincts 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 16 of the Twenty-sixth wards. Op- posing him are Jerome Colonna, J. F. Fogerty and W. D. Griffin. To Learn Voters’ Wishes, ‘This is the first political fight I ever made and I intend to win,’’ said Crowley to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘Ir elected, I shajl try to get some good laws passed that will benefit, not only the newsboys but all of the poor classes. Before I yote on an important measure, I shall find out what the voters of my district think about it. “IT intend to hold mass meetings from time to time to learn just what the sentiments of my constituents are. By doing this, I know I shall make no mis- takes. “I want everybody « have a square deal and I don’t intend to take orders from any political boss. I would sooner follow the judgment of an honest work- ingman than all the legislative lawyers that get together in Jefferson City. Girls Assisting Hin. “T believe the people in North St. Louis, where I was born and raised and played ball and sold papers, are for me. “Three social clubs are urging. my candidacy and every girl I ever danced with at North St. Louis Turner Hall is a missionary in my cause. I don’t see how I can lose.”’

Woman's Scream Routs Burglar. Mrs. William Palante, 1313 North Eighth street, was startled from sleep at il p. m., Wednesday, by footsteps in her room. She saw a man in her room. She screamed and her husband sprang from bed toward the intruder. The lat- ter escaped.

YCUNG WOMEN SKIRTMAKERS STRIKE FOR HIGHER WAGES They Say Pay Was Cut During Panic, but Employer De- nies This. Ten young-women, employed as bast- ers in the factory of the Frelich Skirt Co. at 823 Washington avenue, went out on strike at noon Wednesday for higher wages. The girls say that when the financial depression came on last fall they received a cut in wages, with the promise that the old scale would be re- stored when business resumed normal conditions. They said they demanded the old scale Wednesday, and when it was re- fused, they walked out. The girls range from 15 to 19 years of age and are not organized. They are paid on a sliding scale, by the piece, an@ average from $5 to $7 weekly. The old scale gave them from $8 to $10 a week. Samuel Frelich, proprietor of the fac- tory, denies that there was a cut in wages. He says the girls have never received nor earned more than they are getting now. The trouble arose, he says, over enforcement of the rule-that each employe must report promptly at 7.50

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ’ LENOX, Mass., July %.—Attorney- General Bonaparte, after a conference with leading prosecuting officers of the Federal Government, and Frank B. Kel- logg of Minnesota, one of the special

counsel Tor the Government in the OCtan- dard Oil cases, has announced fhat there will be an effort made to get the Court of Appeals to review the de- cision setting aside the verdict fining the of] company $29,000,000. Failing in tHis, a rearrangement of the cases for the government will be made, and they will be tried again. Mr. Bonaparte stated that the Govern- ment would, if necessary, take the matter to the Supfeme Court. The fe- versal of the finding of the lower court, he says, does not in any way affect the merits of the Government's claim that the giving of rebates is illegal.

PLAYGOERS’ GUIDE. SLBURDAN—Henrietta Cross- man in “The Sword of the King.” Dashing romantic play, well pre- } mented by star and supporting company. DELMAR—‘Robin Hood.” Pic- turesque and melodious comic opera, excellently produced. FOREST PARK HIGHLANDS— Camille Comedy Trio heads good yaudeville bill. Dorothy Morton, soloist with Cavallo’s band. WEST END HEIGHTS—‘Thel- " ma.” with Mabel Montgomery in i title role and stock company well we east. Strong performance, y staged. MANNION’S — Entertaining vaudeville bill, headed by Her- bert and Willing. * LEMP’S—Last week of Imperial ’ Minstrels. ECLIPSE—Stanley Stock Com- pany in “For Love and Honor.’

WAMES K. HACKETT, manager-star J and owner of the American rights ” of the dramatization of Mrs. Elinor Giyn's fgrvid novel, “Three Weeks,” is @xpected to arrive in St. Louis next Sunday. “Immediately following his arrival he will begin preparations for the pro- duction of ‘“‘Three Weeks” at Suburban Tienter, under the management of the nheimer brothers. ‘This will be the first, professional pro- duction of the play on any stage. Mrse Giyn herself presented it privately in Jjondon the other day, she playing the role. of the Imperatorsky, the mysteri- ous Russian royalty who loved a hand- gome young Englishman not wisely but too well, and the performance re- ceived international attention. ‘The play's premiere production at the Biiburban will mark the beginning of its two weeks’ St. Louis engagement, and 14 a “try-out’’ preliminary to its pro- duction in New York early this coming Stason. It is said to be extremely probable that a French actress, until now un- known in this country, will play the. Imperatorsky role in the St. Loui# pro- @uction.. Arrangements to this end are Believed to have been perfected by Mr. Hackett during his recent visit to Paris. Mr. A. H. Van -uren, leading man of the Suburban Stock Company, will prob- @bly be cast as the young English hero of the story. ’ Play Fully as “Fervid” as Novel. It was announced some time ago that the dramatized version of ‘Three Weeks” would lack much of the objec- tionable element of lawless passion that characterized the novei itself, but the reviews of the private performance of _ the play given by Mrs. Glyn in London do not bear out this assertion. The drama itself is said to keep very close ito the story of the ili-starred and un- ‘lessed love of a Russian princess and a young English aristocrat and to con- tain scenes of the most passionate fer- vor. The famous tiger skin that figures in the novel is said to be similarly prom- inent inthe play, and the scene in which ft ie utilized, as in the book itself, Is the “big scene’ of the dramatized ver- sion. Mra, Glyn Also Coming to St. Louis, An elaborate production of the play is to be made, costing at least $20,000, it is saftd. Mrs. Glyn herself is coming to St. Louis to assist Mr. Hackett in di- recting the rehearsals and to see that the play is produced to her liking. She is tremendously interested in the stage fortunes of her stery and believes that “Three Weeks’ will make one of the Diewest hits scored during the season Boon to begin. It is likely that Mrs. before dudtion. the play receives its first pro- She will at once put herself into communication with the Oppen- heimers and visit Suburban Theater daily to watch the work of the players cast for the presentation of her play. It is certain that the production of “Three Weeks" in St. Louis will excite Widespread comment, and, from many quarters, be unreservediy condemned. Some little time age, through the me- Gium of the Post-Dispatch, several emi- ment. clergymen and others of St. Louis protested against the proposed Suburban production. Other St. Loulsans defend- e4 %, The Oppenheimer brothers them- selves Geciare that the play “is not as black as it is painted.” and that it will be found not nearly so offensive as *“Bapho,” “Zaza” and other plays of that character. Mr, Hackett will take quarters at the Washington Hotel during his stay in St. Louis, and it is likely that Mra. Gtyn will also be a guest of the Wash- ington, as many conferences betwee.) herself and Mr. Hackett concerning ti: ag mngo way will be necessitated. r.

On the Sun- Gay night following Miss Crosman’ s farewell performance he wil! appear as the star in “The Prisoner of Zenda.”’ Mise Ida Adair of the Suburban stock company will be his leading lady For the second week, the Hackett offering wil) be the dramatized version of Win.- ston Churchill's war-time novel of &t. Louis, “The Crisis,” and. for the third week, “The Pride of Jenniso” will be the bill, In these three plays Mr. Hackett has scored the most memorable successes of hig career.

Postmaster William G. Kitchen of Bloomfield, Mo., in his testimony be- fore United States Commissioner Mitch- ell during his hearing on a charge of intentionally de- laying a letter, gave details of the conduct of a country posto f- fice which startled postoffice inspect- ors. Kitchen was ex- plaining that he had not willfully delayed the letter, which contaire an indorsement of Wyltle Walker tu: Kitchen’s job as Postmaster. The letter was delayed a week. ' “By mistake, it| got into the wrong Hox,’ said Kitch- en. “When J] heard that Walk- er Was expecting a letter and had accused me of holding it up, I made a search and found it.

“The first thing I did was to erase | the dating stamp on the_ envelope. Country pcstmasters always do that when a letter ig delayed, so the man who receives it -cannot tell when the letter was received. That keeps them from kicking, you know. “It’s the Satine way when we fail to deliver a letter at the window. “I ren em ber, nee, a farmer named Jones asked for his mail. I[ ran over the J letters, and did not find one for him. “‘Please look over them again,’ he said. ‘I am sure there must be a letter there for me.’ I rée@n through them again, and sure enough, there was a letter for Jones. “Did I give it to him? Well, I guess not. I told him there might be One on the next train. You see, if [ had admitted my mistake, and had giv- en him that letter, every time he came to the office, he would think I had made a mistake, and I would have to go through the letters twice.

after the next train, and I gave him the letter. -He didn’t know the differ- ence, and it saved me a lot of work aft- erwards.”’ The Government failed to show Kitch- en had intentional delayed the Walker letter, and Commissioner Mitchell dis- charged him.

Worse than that, rete, lp going to get a park watchman to Wit.on the lid.

The park Sherlock Holmes will be ‘on the job” and at the first hint of oscula- tion or the dovelike cooing of sweet nothings, it will probably be to the po- lice station for Reginald and Mayme. The Fountain Park Association has asked the Park Commissioner to appoint & Watchman to remain on duty from 3 Pp. m. to ll p. m. to prevent the spoon- ing.

In addition | DOG ATE FRIED CHICKEN, AND DRANK CUP OF TEA IN FASHIONABLE HOTEL ASTOR Bill Included $2.75 for “Breakage” Which the Waiter Performed After Meal. NEW YORK, July 30.—A man named Dickson, who said he was the attorney for a lot of corporations, strolled into the hunting room of the Hotel Astor last night. He had a French bulldog with him, and he and the dog took chairs at a table. “Bring fried chicken and a pot of tea,”’ ordered Dickson. ‘“‘My dog likes ig “Yes, sir,’ said the waiter, thinking what a facetious gentleman Mr. Dfck- son was. : When the food was brought Dickson tied a napkin about the dog’s neck and told him to go as far as he liked. “Yep, yep,’’ remarked the dog, fell to. The waiter got excited and wanted to retract the chicken and the tea. “Go ahead and take them,” said Dick- s0n. ' The waiter reached for the chicken plate when “‘Gr-r-r-r-r,”’ said the dog. Dickson's dog ate chicken, bones and all, drank his tea from the cup and when he had finished immersed his snout and paws in a finger bowl, Dickson dry- ing him off with a napkin. When Dickson got his bill there was an extra item on it—‘‘Breakage, $2.75.’ But I haven’t broken anything,” he declared. “Not yet, M’sieur, but soon,” said the grinning waiter, and he smashed the dog’s plate, cup and saucer into smith- ereens. BUGS ORGANIZE AERO CLUB 16 PURSUE AND PESTER AUTOMOBILISTS Swarms Along Country Roads Like Odor of Gasoline, but Mint Drives "Em Away. If the night riders ever come to St. Louis County they will be met by mil- lions of foes that Kentucky would Hke to have right now to act as raid-stop- pers. These are the bugs that are swarming on the county roads at night. They are of all varieties, from the little “worm stinger,’’ not much larger than a pinhead, to the monstrous dusty mil- ler. Some of them have names a yard long in the scientific books. Over in Alta Sita, where the hungry mosquitoes come from, they tried petro- leum to kill ’em last week, and it worked. But the St. Louis County bugs, next to human blood, like kerosene better than anything else. In fact, they have been swarming around autos so much that anybody who suggests an auto ride west of the Country Club at night is considered ‘“‘bugs,’’ If somebody could devise a defense from the swarms, he would oblige “Billy Miltenberger, Marion S. Fuqua, “Gussie” Busch, D. R. Calhoun and other Jehus who drive autos. Russell E. Gardner has an idea on the subject. Whenever they get too thick in the trail of his auto, he stops at the first mint bed along the road. The odor of the mint is very distaste- ful to the bugs. Thats why they do not interefere with the Kentucky night riders, it is supposed. CANAL WORKER SENDS TO ST, LOUIS FOR COOL PIPE TO PASS TORRID HOURS Alcng With Money He Transmits Broken Smoke Machinery and Asks More Like It. A pipe’s a pipe for a’ that, but some Pipes are different. The pipe of the Panama Canal does not seem to fit the canal zone taste of some fastidious American smokers who have been ac- customed to the good old cool smoke of St. Louis pipes. E. L. Rosselot, formerly of East St. Louls and a member of the County Board of Supervisors, now of the Pa- nama Canal zone, has proven himself an American by standing true blue to his American pipe. Without his pipe he couldn’t get the customary cool smoke in the hot loca- tion. He bought the pipe in East St. Louls. When it was given out he want- ed another East St. Louis pipe of the same cool caliber. He put the smoking machinery in a strong envelope and sent it to Dan Ruff in East St. Louis ac- companied by a Panama money order for $2.50, with a plea for another pipe. Ruff has obeyed orders. The cool pipe is on its way to the hot climtae. MICE STOP MUSIC OF CHOIR Women Singers Abandon Loft Un- til Intruders Are Ousted.

KILOWATTS ARE XILLED BY BOGUS METER-TESTER -

Union Electric Has a Rival in Man Who Got $2.50 From Wenneker.

STOLE ALL THE WHEELS If Lights Hadn’t Been Turned Off, Million Club Chief Would Be Ahead. Charles F. Wenneker, president of the Million Club, told Thursday how a stranger tested his residence electric light meter, stole all the brass wheels out of it and then induced Mrs. Wen- neker to pay $2.50 for the job. As Mr. Wenneker had bound himself by his contract to pay for any dam- ages that might accrue to the me- ter while it was in his residence, he will, if he has it tested a few more times, find .that. the size of his pocketbook is decreasing in an inverse ratio to the increase of the city’s population. ey stranger went to my house,”’ said Mr. Wenneker in tell- ing the story to his friends, ‘‘and told her I had sent him to test the electric light meter. “Mrs. Wenneker did not much want to let him in, but he insisted, and she finally showed him the meter and he worked with it for an hour. “Then he .told my wife that he had found the meter a little fast and he thought our billa would be smaller from now on. He then presenced a bill for $2. ) ‘Mrs. Wenneker objected to paying it, but he insisted again that I had sent him out to test the meter and had in- structed him to tell her to pay the bill. He was an oily- tongued fellow and finally persuaded her to pay it. “When I went home at night my wife asked me why I sent the man out to test the meter. When I told her that I had done no such thing she told me how she had been fleeced out of $2.50. IT thought that was the most amusing thing I ever heard of. After dinner I took down my fa- vorite copy of the City Directory to figure just how much we are still shy of a million, and turned on the electric switch. “There was no light. I thought per-, haps my membership in the ‘‘ready-to- serve club” had been canceled. I tried to call up the electric company, but could get no response. Next day I sent a call to the’ company and an in- spector was sent out. “He found that the meter tester had taken all the delicate brass wheels out of the meter and left it an empty shell. If the fake tester had only left the connections on I should soon have recov- ered the $2.50, as the meter was so dead that it wouldn't know a kilowatt hour if it met one face ‘to face.’’ GIRL DENIED EMPLOYMENT WRECKS EXCLUSIVE CLUB, PUTTING WOMEN TO FLIGHT Vases Smashed With Umbrella Until One Brave Woman Seizes Intruder by Hair. SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.—The ex- clusive Town and Country Club has not yet recovered from the stock it ex- perienced when an irate serving maid, who had been refused employment by one of the fashionable matrons of Bur- lingame, proceeded with an umbrella to clean out the premises. Mrs. Timothy Hopkins, one of the leaders of the smart set, seized the in- furiated woman by the hair and liter- ally dragged her into the. street. Suburban members of the club have reserved a room, where on their visits to town they can make appointments with prospective servants. One of these, whose qualifications for the place were lacking, deemed herself insulted and started out to clean out the club. Fash- ionably gowned women ran shrieking to cover, while the girl busied herself de-

Sounds From ‘Street| Ave Thrown Back, Maeonified Len Fotd, and Some Citizens Are Ad.- vocating Pavement of Sponges or Pneu- matic Kubber.

N-O-I-S-E !!! Noah Webster, the man who invented the dictionary, lived in a quiet age, when the noisiest thing was the tinkle of a cowbell, and all was at peace, for the English sparrow, the flat car wheel, the cannon cracker and the automobile siren had not yet been invented. Yet, Noah, who was no rum-dum at that, said that noise was a ‘‘loud, con- fused and senseless sound.’’” What he might have called it had he lived in St. Louis and tried to compile his diction- ary within sound of Broadway and Olive street’ will, of course, always re- main a mystery, but it is 100 to 1 that he would have invented a new set of adjectives to fit the occasion. The intersection of Broadway and Olive street is said to be the noisiest of its kind in St. Louis. The only thing it lacks of being the noisiest in the country is an elevated road run- ning -overhead, a boiler factory where Wells’ well now graces one of the cor- ners, and a band in a balcony. Noiseless Pavement Wanted. The property owners | along Olive street, from Fourth to Fourteenth, want the city to tear up the cobblestones and replace them with a noiseless pavement. This applies to Locust street as far as Thirteenth street. , There is some talk of creosoted wood- en block, but one of the merchants along the street would have linoleums. another would have the street paved with sponges and still another advocates pneumatic rubber pavement. Fortunate- ly, every fellow can't have what he wants. One of the merchants whose doors open along the cobbles had this to say: “The man who invented cobblestones with which to pave streets had a com- mon and sordid soul, with dead nerves and corniess feet. Cobbles may be all right on a street where nothing is haul- ed but boilers, bricks or construction iron, and where nobody lives except deaf people. “But in a district through which noth- ing rolls but carriages, automobiles and the clamorous, but useful, street cars cobbles are as out of place as they would be in a dancing pavilion. “Broadway and Olive is the noisiest corner in the town, where it might by rights be the quitest. You expect noise in a boiler shop—that’s the birthplace of noise—but where you are trying to sell a man a pair of spectacles, close a finan- cial deal or write a convincing letter noise, as pure noise without melody, is out of place.’’ Well, It’s Well’s Well, ».ith nothing on your mind except to absorb noise, a half hour on any of the corners of the two streets will fill you with enough to last a lifetime. There are more different sorts of noises there than anywehere. Owing to the peculiar conditions every noise is magnified to the n’th power. This is due to the pe- cullar vacuum caused by Well’s Well, that ends well where the building is not. Sounds from the street gather in that hollow pocket and are thrown back in- to the surrounding buildings, magnified ten fold. s Every honk, bang, crash, shriek, snort, yell, rattle, concussion, jangle, jar and bump mingles in a confusion that is as hideous as a dream of daybreak in hades. Three-cornered car wheels, pounding over a criss-cross of tracks that looks like a photograph of the canals of Mars; strident honks of auto- mobiles, the jangle of a truck full of empty milk cans; the crash of a wagon loaded with band iron; 3% newsboys yelling “‘Uxtry,”’ a man selling tin whis- ties, a fat woman in a spotted dress leading a coach dog, and some others, make pandemonium almost as quiet as a talkfest in an asylum for mutes. The president of the bank is trying to close a deal for the loan of $18,000,000,- 000 to the president of the Z. IL. P. Rall- way. They are in the private office, where everything should be as sweetly quiet as in a sanctuary. The banx pres- Went is speaking. “I will let you have the money at’’—— (Honk! Honk! Bang! Crash! Rat-t-tle! Smash!) “How was that? I didn’t catch what you said," says the railroad president, with the hollow of his hand hooked behind his ear. Deal Cloned With Frowns. “I said 1 would lend you the mon”—— (Bing! Jangie! Roar!) The deal is finished by each writing on a pad, and with. nods, gestures, grins and frowns. That's a nice way to do business in the millions. It's just as bad as when you are trying to buy a $2.80 shirt for 8 cents or a strawberry sundae marked down to two for fifteen.

OLD MAN WEDS: DOESN'T KNOW BRIDE'S. NAME 4 Rich New York Builder Puzzles Friends by His Story of Marriage. —

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the P«st-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 3.—No one seems inclined to wish Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Carey joy on their marriage. Mr. Ca- rey’s friends cannot congratulate the bride because Carey says he doesn’t know her name. Sheldon Carey, 75 years old, is a wealthy retired builder. He is feeble. His first wife died two years ago. Since "then Mr. Carey has boarded with Mrs. Whiteland, 977 Flatbush avenue, Brook- lyn. This is a fine house, owned, with much other real estate, by Mr. Carey’s brother, Spencer C. Carey. The not too old gentleman has been in the habit of ‘sunning himself daily in a rocking chair before & furniture shop opposite the boarding house. Pretty Girl His Companion, To him there daily has come a very pretty girl, a trained nurse, seating herself in another rocking chair. This girl has added her golden hair and bright blue eyes to Mr. Carey's sun- light, and there, to the great entertain- ment of the neighbors, they have sat and sat, and rocked and rocked. Sheldon Carey yesterday ordered a carriage and was driven away. Re- turning he said to Mrs. Whiteland: “I will give up my rooms in a week, I am going to be married.” Like a good tenant, Mrs. Whiteland hastened to inform Spencer Carey, who hurried to his brother, asking: “What's this about your going to be married ?’’ Brother Suggests Hallucination. “I was married this morning,” re- torted Sheldon. “I'd like to see your bride,’ sneered Spencer. “That's impossible,” said Sheldon. “I don't know w, she is or who she was. After we were married at the City Hall she went home, but I hope to see her in the rocking chair tomorrow. We have taken a flat on Avenue C and will go to live there soon.” “I could get nothing definite out of my brother,” said Spencer Carey today. “Perhaps he is not married?” “Perhaps it's an hallucination,” said Spencer Carey. ‘I hope so. s aeieneeeeee — The Post-Dispatch sw the only evening Sewepaper in st.

“HELEN OF NEW YORK” TO BE MADE AMERICAN QUEEN

Lottery King Gourdain Is in London Trying to Enlist Aid in Scheme lic and Establish Monarchy in United i, a to Overthrow Repub- States.

LONDON, July 30.—The overthrow of the American Republic and the estab- lishment of a monarchy, with “Helen of New York’’ as Queen, is the modest scheme of souls A. Gourdain, who is now stopping at the Savoy Hotel. At- tention to his scheme was first attracted by the publication in the fashionable Morning Post of the following advertise- ment: “A Royalist United States of America is organized for the purpose of securing real liberty and to crown.Helen of New York as Queen. We desire the aid of the royalists of the world, who can place our cause before their respective sovereigns and secure their practical support. LOUIS A. GOURDIAN.” Gourdain, who is dark eyed; of x rench descent and American accent, explained that he is one of a secret council of seven sent by the Supreme: Council In Chicago on a private mission to the crowned heads of the world. The secret council arrived on the Lu- cania, June 22%, and is now scattered in St. Petersburg, Madrid, Italy, Japan and London, trying to obtain converts among those influential with royalty. “The movement to overthrow the American Republic and establish a mon- archy began in Chicago in 1903," said Gourdain. “We have secret organiza- tions in every state and can control 3,000,000 votes. We know that the only way to obtain our desires and fight So- clalism ia by a great war which will be finished inside the next three years.”’ In New York is a mysterious person whose name Gourdain refuses to dis- cloge, even to the elect until an ap- pointed date. “This much,”’ he said, “I may say: She is American born, young, hand- some and rich; possesses business abil- ity, tact and common sense. She is of royal descent and is very popular in American society. She will be crowned in Washington.” Louls A. Gourdain escaped from the Government Hospital for the Insane at Washington last April. He is a million- alre who has gained the name of the “Lottery King’ and was convicted in Chicago for conducting a lottery. He demanded to be locked up and said he would build a prison for himself if his sentence was not carried out.

IF WIFE STARTS A FUSS IT'S YOUR RIGHT TO CUSS, JUDGE DETERMINES THUS In Your Home You Safely Swear; None Dare Pinch You for It There. (Police Judge Bray of Orange, N. J.. has refused to punish W. T. Wright for swearing, on his wife's complaint. and holds that. Wright had a right to swear as much as he chose, so long as he was in his own house.) If, when your wife starts fussing, you answer her by cussing, the mighty law can’t touch you, says a wise New Jersey judge; you may swear like a Hessian, nor limit your expression to such weak phrase as “Piffie!’’ “Consarn it,” or “©, Fudge!’’ Your house is still your castle, so, though profanely facile, you needn't fear the neighbors or che copper on the beat; so long as you're within It, you can devote each minute to passionate invective and objurgatory heat. And if, to you appealing to dam your tide of feeling, your ltuckless spouse should cause you more earnestly to curse, the law will not repress it, the courte will not redress it; she took you, they’li remind her, for better or for worse. But wives whose ears are language so all-firéd may make the goose’s sauce a saiad for the gander, too. They've tongues, and they can use them, and husbands who abuse them ean be talked down and out before the

That is plain. But how far does it extend beyond the limits of the union membership, and what are the instrumentalities which can be em- ployed to influence the conduct of third persons who have no substantial interest in the dispute? They must not be coerced by threat or actual violence. What, then, constitutes the persuasion that can be lawfully exerted? The “unfair list’ has been condemned, but unless it can be shown to contain a latent threat it is permissible per- suasion. Judge Taft seems not to have met these questions with sufficien* clearness.

The noisés in St. Louis by day and night grow fm volume and have acquired an edge too sharp for ordinary nerves to endure. | ) Police Commissioner Bingham of New York has issued instructions designed to reduce the uproar in that city and introduce a reasonable degree of quiet. He directs special a::ention ta horns, sirens and whistles on automot ‘les, which should be sounded to warn pedestrians, not to amuse the octupants of the car; factory ‘vhistles, flat wheels on street cars, etc. These noises are heerd in all cities. Generally speaking, they ure useless and therefore a nuisance, and should be abated. | : Tt 1s not easy to accomplish refofms of th's kind unless an economic interest is aroused. The persistence of the’ smoke nuisance shows how sluggish is progress when it is not:pushed by such ftiterest. But health and bodily - comfort have a claim upon public attention, and public authority should be exerted in their behalf. A Beginning can. be made by citizens individu- ally, and civic clubs and organizations of sim- tlar character will no doubt co-operate.

. “ ye BOSSES VS. PEOPLE. The leaders of the local Republican machine farce. They have agreed upon a slate, to the support of which all the party workers from the head boss to the precinct whipper-in are to. be rallied. The slate has been selected by a caucus of bosses and represents a possibility of boss dom!- nation under the new primary law which is sug- gestive of danger. ‘That the slate is made public is creditable to the Republican bosses. It is a frank showing of the boss’ hand which disarms suspicion to a large’ extent and enables the voters to study the list of candidates. It is an advance notice which offers opportunity for revolt against the machine man- date. Before the primaries the Post-Dispatch will indicate the character of the candidates on and off the slates for the information of voters. The slate-making of the Republican leaders em- phasizes the danger confronting the voters of the party and subsequently the people of the city un- der the primary plan. The party organization wilt be potent factors in the primary elections. A large, probably a dominating percentage of the voter, will be cast by organization voters under the direction of ward bosses. If many citizens fail as {n the past to cast their votes the nomina- tious wiil be determived by the organization yoics. There ig a manifest danger of a defeat of the best candidates and the nomination of the worst—the unfit and boss ccntrolled—candidates by a concentration of the votes of the machine elements in support of the latter. This danger is the basis of the Post-Di!spatch’s urgent counsel to the voters of both parties to concenirate their votes on the best men for each Tha best _the known hoaesty and capacity who are farthest re- moveé from mavhine influences. The circuii at- torneyshi;> is a case {In point. It is an office of first importance. The enforcement of jaw against criminals of all kinds 1s in the hands of the Cir- cuit Attorney, The protection of the people from corruption, plunder, thievery, lies in his power. For this reason the Post-Dispatch urges the con- centratién of the votes of good Demecrats on Mr. Connett. One of his opponents—Mr. Walsh—has the support of most objectionable elements and his election would not only damage the Demo- cratic ticket, but would be a menace to the pub- lic welfare. Two of his opponents ave men of good character and capacity, with some objec- tionable elements in. their support. But Mr. Con- nett has the opposition of all the bosses and of all objectionable elements. His nomination would be a distinct victory for the people. In other offices the voters should concentrate upon similar candidates—men who give the best assurance in character, capacity and association of freedom from influences which might impair their value as public servants. In the candidates for the bench the voters have the beneftt of rec- ommendations by the Bar Association, whose se- lections have been carefully made by a competent committee. They will have the benefit of the fullest possible information concerning all can- didates in the columns of the Post-Dispatch. Party voters who support the best candidates are doing a great service for their party by giv- ing it the advantage of a good ticket. They will serve the city by helping to assure honest and capable public officers in any event. rr office. fandidates are men of

i, A ~~ MRS, TAFT AND THE ETERNAL FEMININE. A reputable contemporary quotes Mrs. Taft as being perfectly delighted with the campaign, which she finds so interesting, saying: “Everything has been perfect. I love public life, for there is always something new to absorb your attention and interest. To me this is bet- ter than when Mr. Taft: was at the bar and on the bench, for things before him now and in which he takes part are live subjects, and the law is more in the abstract and harder for a woman-to understand.” The eternal feminine here so genuinely ex- pressed is the same old eternal feminine that has always been at war with “the abstract,” which it found deadly stupid. Yet Mrs. Taft's speech of | acceptance is interesting for another and ‘special reason—it supplies a curious antithesis of view- point, though perhaps not of essential character, when compared with the recent utterances of Mrs. bryan. Mrs. Bryan, it ceems, studied law and pursued abstract logic in order to keep men- tal pace with her husband. What bearing this contrast will have on the campaign and the reshit we cannot predict. We may state incidentally and irrelevantly, however, that it is not necessary for any woman to study law and become an abs t thinker and reasoner in o:aer to keep mental pace with any husband that ever lived. The eternal feminine of itself is more than a match for him at ary time. o-oo —_-_ ___-- —- The men listed as possible nominees for the public service commission by the Council are all well qualified.

SIX WORKING GIRLS. Double Danger. To the Editor of the Post-D'!spatcn. Apropos the punishment of automobile offenders against the speed law, I think the court should con- sider the fact that, in. making an arrest, the pur- suing officer, to be effective, Is obliged to go at such speed as 10 create a condition _on the streets equally as perilous as that caused by the lawbreaker. Thus in an attempt to arrest the offender for causing a perilous and dangerous condition upon the public streets, a second one equaliy as dangerous is necessi- tated in an effort to make arrest, and the offender ought to be fined accordingly. In making other ordi- nary arrests for the breaking of the city ordinances, the above conditions do net obtain. SQUARE DEAL. The Midnight Auto Scorcher. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, While. auto scorching ts at all times dangerous, the midnight auto scorgher is the most dangerous brute that modern inverftion has let loose on a suf- fering public. Mr. Karsen, a St. Louls County farm- er, with his wife, was bringing a wagon load of pro- duce to the city Tuesday morning at 12:30 a, m. In doing this he was proving himself a useful mem- ber of the community. But on his way he was over- taken by the midnight auto scorcher and himself and wife pitched headlong from the wagon, his pro- duce being scattered to the four winds. What was the auto scorcher doing out there on a country road at that time in the morning? Was he performing any service of use to the community? Surely legislatures should provide condign punishment for these reckless invaders of the public peace and destroyers of indi- vidual uesfulness. Ww. Dorando and the “Dagoes.” so tne Editor of the Post-Dispatch, ' In his letter to the Post-Dispatch describing the Marathon race, Joe Forshaw says the British crowd at the Stadium, and the newspapers, gave Dorando, the Italian, all the glory. In doing so they only showed the feeling which must have thrilled millions of those who read of the splendid race this ‘‘Dago’’ ran and of his pathetic failure at the last moment, due to his emotional nature. I was giad that an Italian had brought his nationality thus before the world, because I bave found race prejudice against Italians stronger in St. Louis than against negroes. To many 8t. Louisans an Italian is nothing but 4 “Dago,” and it is evident from the way they use this epithet that it is intended to express all that Is contemptible. Let us abandon this prejudice, which is mainly the result of ignorance. COSMOPOLITAN. He Says He'll Have No Deputies. To the Editcr of the Post-Dispatch. Your paper deserves a great deal of credit for persuading Mr. Cowherd to come out in a state- ment that in case Me is nominated and elected, Har- ry Hawes will not be Deputy Governor for &8t. Louis, but you did not go far enough in the matter. We, up in this city, want him to come out plainly and boldly that Sam B. Cook will not be his Deputy in Central Missouri. Up in Kansas Citv the people want him to repudiate Jim Reed. The same sort of a statement from Cowherd that Ex-Gov. A. M. Dock-: ery will not be his personal organ and mouthpiece up in North Missouri and Jim Orchard and Matt Con- ran in South Missourt would please the residents of these ends of the State. The charge is made up here that Cowherd, through Cook, enlisted the services of a large convict labor shop to secure for him peti- tions in South Missouri and that money was freely used by someone in getting them. We want Cow- herd to fully explain this accusation. It was made Saturday in one of our papers. If it is true then he cannot expect union labor men to support him. On this point I, as a union man, demand full light. I am a railroad man, running between this city and Kansas City. DAN J. KELLEY. Jefferson City. 4 ——" No-Seat Street Cars.

THE ST. LOUIS COUNTY COCKTAIL. The worst booze is that sold in defi- ance of law. Where you have to get it by express, it is a good substitute for Bordeaux Mixture.

You can get it any place across the county line. Just because the first house you see looks like the private dwelling of some respectable family is no sign it isn’t a saloon. Homes occur off the roads—roadhouses on them, Nobody knows how a St. Louis County cocktail is mixed; but the grand jury is trying to find out. The roadhouseman never mixes it after you enter; he sees you coming. Sometimes he hears you panting. At any rate, it is all mixed when you get there, and you lay down a quarter. Nobody who has been out there recalls whether you get any ‘ruching off your shirtwaist box, change or not. Other things absorb your attention. For one thing, you want @ mouthful of ice. Of course, you don’t get it. »o you take what you can get— a tin of green pondwater with a tadpole in it. After that smoke exudes from your mouth, and your , stomach feels like the ruins of Pompeii.

They can call on me to serve as referee, time- keeper, bottleholder or announcer. I'll take a day or night off any time to help out that way. But first I'd want to have a flash at a sheath skirt In action. Can it be fixed? Where d’ye have to go to get a peek? I've read 817 columns in the papers about this sheath skirt thing, and seen enough pictures of sheath skirts to pa- per the Chemical Building, but I haven't hed so much as a smoked-glass look at one of them working yet. Where do you go binocularing to see a sheath gown being worn by somebody? In the pictures the wearers of sheath skirts are two or three French millinery dolis that are out on bunts when it comes to being lookers. They’re trudg- ing around a French racetrack, or @ maybe racetrack, with a lot of grinners piping them off. The pictures look as if they were taken in a postal-photo gallery at that. And the sheath things the dolls wear in the pictures didn’t get me groggy. I guess I’m blind, but, to me they looked like just skirts that needed pressing. I couldn't find the sheaths anywhere, and I came near losing a lamp looking for ’em. Then I’ve seen a picture of a tall, bony bunch of show girl queen wearing

I've cut the trail of plenty of peek- a-boo waists that strained my eyes a lot, but I'm waiting yet to be directed to the Directoirie skirt. Maybe there are some of them in the telephone di- rectory, but I don’t know their num- bers.

But the naughty-naughties wear those plaid taffeta clingy bathing suits that we see pictures of in the papers, don’t they? Of course they don’t get ’em wet. But if they’d take a chance on the sheath gowns they could keep out of the rain and out of the way of the sprinkling carts, too, couldn’t they? It's a shame to haul a hot one like this sheath gown thing on us and then never make good.

HOW TO COOK MEN.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. N answer to the question would you marry your husband again?’ I reply yes. At the age of 16 I met the man who is now my husband. I loved him with all the ardor of a young maiden’s heart, for he was handsome, strong and sensible, and now after six years of married life I find in him more fine virtues than I have space here to describe. i would like to add, he also has some faults, but so have I, in the first years I was fond of spending money, each week my husband would give me his entire earnings, the bargain counters would find me in line the fol- lowing day, our babies came, two of them, we had or rather I had spent all our reserve fund, my husband would gently remonstrate, urging the necessity of a little economy, we were young and he could not always work at his trade. Welt I awoke to my shortcomings, I resolved to consult with my husband on all matters, we have a little nest egg “and take delight in making plans for the future, and more, my husband has al- ways been kind and patient with my blunders and foolish mistakes in keep- ing house and cooking and baking, al- wgys gently encouraging me. Before in housework. I owe it to my husband's kindness that I can now cook a meal, “ft for a King,” as he fondly remarks. My husband has not forgotten the words of appreciation for little favors rendered or the pretty compliments he knows I cherish so well and I hope that other wives who are dissatisfied and bemoaning the fate that gave them husbands who are not their ideals, will search into their own pathways and of *t. does not lie with her. Wives make geur husband your ideal, make yourself an {deal wife and happiness will surely follow. AGNES. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Would I marry my husband again? Yes, a thousand times, yes. He may have faults, most ef us have. I am not at &ll blind, for I have never had to wear glasses, but I cOuld never see any fauite in him. We have been married 18 yeats. He has never given me a single cross word, never speaks ugly to me, and I know many a time I deserved & £004 scolding and felt better if I had got it. I have quite a temper and show it sometimes. He is not one of your meek little men either. He is 6 feet 2 inches and broad shouldered, always has a pleasant word and smile for everyone but for all that he has a mind of his own and generally knows what he A q wants. When we were first married we - bad « good talk together and made up I. had no experience whatever consulted each other in all things. We have four children, and have had hard work sometimes to make both ends meet but love did not go out at the window. Now I will tell you my idea of the whole affair. Before marriage girls al- ways look for all the good points in the one they intend to marry, turn him over and over, around and around to see if they can’t see another good point some- where and that is perfectly right, but why don’t they keep on doing that after they are married for five, six or a dozen years or fifty years if they both live that long. The greatest trouble is they don’t make up their minds in the first Place to “live happy ever after,’ and the result is they continually pick flaws fn each other and even then are not strong enough to say nothing about each other’s faults. If we would each try our best to think good of each other, even away in the night when you wake up, just pick out all the good things In him and think-—compel yourself to think—how good he is, and think how much you love him and thank God that you have some one that you can love, and think with all his faults I love him still. My greatest fault has been that I have loved my husband too well, but he deserves it all and more too. Now I knew that some of you will think that I don’t know, don’t realize what you have to suffer, but I really do, and I know this hard old warld too well not to ap- preciate the good things in life that ceme my way—my heart aches for some of my lady friends, for circumstances alter cases and all is not gold that glit- ters—we will all get our reward in the end VIOLET. “Weal T7380 weband’ again? Well! I should say, yes! Not that he is perfection. No, he’s no angel. An- gels don’t exist down here. He has the tobacco habit. He smokes fn the parlor, and in fact all over the heuse, wherever it suits him best. I would little rather he would not perfume up the house so. Still, I make the best of it. It is better than having him sitting on the curb- stones taking in the latest street scan- dal, etc. Well, I would marry my hus- band again, first, because he has treat- ed me with due respect as a wife. The -Diepa swear. Third, because he allows me fre same privilege he takes himeeif. And that ts to think for myself, individual rights which so many women are de- prived of. They must think just as their husbands do in regard to all mat- ters, political, religious and all. And another good reason is. because he has made a confidante of me in his busi- ness. I have the privilege of knowing whether the luck is coming our way or ether it is on the downward road.

achieve cooks; some have cooking thrust upon them. We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends, we may live without books, But civilized men cannot live without cooks. In the cooking of man, most women are so intuitive that they need no ad- vice. Others like to have advice in order that they may ignore it, and thus prove their superiority to their adviser. And as a feeling of superiority is very comforting, you may have it and wel- come. Nevertheless, I place the ,following unpretentious recipes at youy service: This dish is often called a gold cake and the best kind has a ring in it. The fire need not be steady, as too much sameness is bad for it. Sugar and all kinds of sweets are plentifully added in the mixing. But if too much is ac- cidéntally used and you see that it is unduly puffed up, season with thyme, which, though bitter, is useful. This cake should be rich and spicy to prove mutually satisfactory. Too much attention should not be paid to it during the cooking. For this rea- son some advise you to have several in the oven at once, Other cooks con- sider that this involves more risk than igs necessary, although the cooking of this dish is proverbially uncertain. If it shows unmistakable signs of per- fection, garnish with kisses and serve without capers. Sen women are born ‘cooks; some 7 In all climates, except Sioux Falls, this dish, when properly cooked, will last a long time. Do not roast; nor is it good when in a stew; but cook with gentleness. Have a good, even fire of love, un- selfishness and much patience. Be sure there is no jealousy nor suspicion, as this invariably causes the fire to flare up and scorch.your dish. Do not skewer nor pinion in any way, as it is so tender when properly cooked as to render this unnecessary, as well as dangerous both to the dish and the cook. Keep it gently stirred all the time. Do not put in all the sweetening to begin with, but use it with-discretion until it is done. This dish is not apt to boil over un- less you watch it too closely. The fash- ion of using wine and nicotine in the home cooking of a husband, and then adding cloves to keep the fumes from spreading, cannot be too strongly dis- couraged, and the neighbors say it can- not be done. If it parches easily, use plenty of water and soft drinks. Do not try with a fork to see if it is done. You can tell whether it is tender in better ways than this. Serve according to the Golden Rule and without sauce.

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN?

Classical

Post-Dispatch Readers Are Invited to Solve a Riddle Which Has Involved New Yorkers in Much Display of Quotation.

HAT is a gentleman?” is a ques- W tion raised by a writer in the New York Times, which that paper undertakes to answer as follows: One says, “He is a gentleman,” and each hearer, thinking of an imperfec- tion, intimates a doubt. If one says; “He is not a gentleman,” each bristles to the defense; one departs leaving a little blot, that of the slanderer, on his own repute. So uncertain and 830 multiform are the definitions of gentle- manliness. What is a gentleman? The choice can be made among an array of ei.quent answers. We think of the admiration laid by Burke at the shrine of the oid regime: ‘‘That generoues loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obe- dience, that subordination of the heart, which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted freedom. That sensitility of principle, that chastity of honor, which felt a stain. like a wound, which inspired courage, whilst it mitigated ferocity, which ennobled whatever it touched.’’ Panegyric of character, idealization of conduct, could not mount higher, the questioner might decree, after reading Burke; but there is another ideal por- trait, painted in love of another type of manhood, which would better satisfy certain strong minds: ‘‘The upright soul that bowed to God alone, The clean hand that upheld her equal laws, The cold demeanor and warm heart beneath, The simple grandeur of thy life and death.”’ One is the ideal of the Cavalier and the other that of the Puritan. Then there is the softer outline, sketched by a woman poet, which shades into the more worldly, more human, less heroic, less expansive conception. ‘Never to turn his back upon a friend, Never to lie but for a woman's sake; To take the sweets that came within his way, And pay the price, if there were price to pay.”’ Or this, from one of the fluent writers of the Washingtonian period, who ex- pressed about the average sentiment of that time: ‘‘With him who quaffs his pot of ale, Who holds to all an even scale, Who hates a knave in each disguise, And fears him pot, whate'er his size.” There are readers who know Burns’ “A mon’s a mon for a’ that,” and Charles Maakay'’s less celebrated re- joinder, and yet think that the real language to describe the gentleman of democracy is to be found in “The Vil- lage Bidcksmith” : ‘His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns what’er he can. ' And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man.” Dean Swift, himself not a gentleman according to any accepted definition, though his “‘saeva indignatio” reminds us that he was a man, judged that “Who ever makes the fewest persons uneasy is the best bred in the com- pany,” and another critic of life de- cides that gentlemanhood consits of “the art of avoiding that which gives pain to others,” and another simplifies Burke's gorgeous passage into this, “A gentieman is aman of family whose conduct is guided by the motto, ‘no- biesse oblige.’ This last definition keeps before us the thought which was once general, but is now losing ground, even in the old monarchies, that &

Whistiing mazurkas and smoking cigars? What is a gentleman? Say, is it one Boasting of conquests and deeds he has done One who unblushingly glories to speak Things which should call up a flush to his cheek? One who, while railing at tens unjust, Robs some young heart of ite pureneag and trust; Scorns to steal money, or jewels, or wealth, Thinks it no wrong to take Honor by stealth? What is a gentleman? Is it not one Knowing instinctively what he should shun. Speaking no word that could injure or pain, Spreading no scandal and deep’ning no stain One who knows ease, . Striving successfully always to please? One who can tell by a glance at your cheek When to be silent and when he should speak? how to put each at his What is a gentleman Is it not one Honestly eating the bread he has won, Walking in uprightness, fearing his God, Leaving no stain on the path he has trod? Caring not whether his coat may bé old, Prizing sincerity far above gold, Recking not whether his hand may be hard. Stretching it boldly to grasp its reward? What is a gentleman: Say, is it birth Makes a man noble or adds to his worth? Is there a family tree to be had Shady enough to conceal what is bad? Seek out the man who has God for his guide. Nothing to tremble at, nothing to hide, Be he a noble or the poorest in trade, He is the gentleman nature has made.

HEN the Working Girl’s Lierature Class came to study Thomas Ot-" W way’s poems they discovered that it was he who wrote: “Oh, woman, lovely woman, nature made thee To temper man—we had been brutes without thee.” oe But the teacher pointed out another bit, in which the same author rails et ‘“Woman—destructive, damnable, deceitful woman.” e As we walked home from the xlass one of the girls remarked: “It seems that that gay Mr. Thomas Otway knew all kinds of women!” “Most men do said another. “And they generally like the destructive, damnable, deceitful kind best. They don't care’-much for the kind that tries to temper man.” — is “Well, no wonder,” said my friend Edna. “Plenty of women are strong en : the temper business, Very few are fit to tame the savage beast of man, but — a that don’t keep them from trying to keep in leading strings. Nine cases out ; of ten the man won't be led. He just breaks away to play with the de- structive, damnable, deceitful, but friendly, woman, who don't try to act him.

They all stopped at my house for a cup of tea, and the discussion grew z quite serious. a ‘The first thing for lovely woman to do,”’ Edna insisted, “ie te break loose from man's leading strings.

She was always trying to yank him inte the upper air. So he left home, After that he made the acquaintance of sev- : ant, like his sister, and the damnable but friendly variety that Mr. Otway tells. about. Then one evening he met a girl that was friendly, but not damna-* ble. He chose her. She wasn't going his way on life’s path, so he go hers. She didn’t care much which way he went. These things about him she didn't like. She didn’t try to reform plain didn’t like him. She never thought of leading him to the higher life. just refused to go down and meet him in the lower one. So he proceeded climb up her path, and that’s all there was to it.” “As I reflected upon this discussion of the girls, after they gone, it seemed to me they had covered the ground completely, and that : my friend Edna had, as usual, shown wise discretion in choosing for her heroine not the girl who without exploring the way would set herself up as a leader in the higher life, not the girl who to gain popularity basely,. stoops to be all things to all men, but rather the rare girl who by being true— e to her best self unconsciously tempers the man “who had been brute without a her.”’ + This same.Perski was once the cook of Count Rheingaum, years ago, when the Emperor of Austria was dining with the was struck with the way a certain boar’s head was cooked, and the chef should be complimented.

But Waddell’s career has but served to lower his cash value in the eyes of map, so np and to aeep down a salary that he might name himself, could be depended upon each day he was called upon to deliver the goods his employer had the right to expect.

At the end of the fifth inning many would have wagered at odds that Phila- delphia wouldn’t score a run off Rube.

Then his troubles started and Umpire Tom Connolly did all he could to make them bad for Rube. oe may mean well enough, but any umpire that carries a chip on his shoulder usually gets it knocked off. Possibly Rube’s curves were too sharp for Little Tom. Standing behind Big Ed Spencer, Connolly looks like a midget. He has to peek around or under Big Hack’s arms to see the ball coming and it did seem to every one that he missed two or three strikes.

The other run for the Athletics came in the seventh Inning. Schreck opened with a three-pase drive to left center. He stood meekly on third while Wad- dell fanned both Vickers and Hart- sel.

Bugs Raymond even pitched a no-hit game and lost it, through the inability of the club be- hind him to rally at bat. Fromme, Beebe, McGlynn, Lush, Karger—all have tasted the bitter dish. Yesterday it was Sallee’s turn.. Man- ager McCloskey sent in the attenuated one to do duty, regardless of the fact that Mathewson was the op ing twirl- er. McGraw figured that Sallee would prove easy, and-that he would make the game certain by sending in his trump card. But Sallee threw a big scare into McGraw by pitching wonderful base- ball. He was hit safely but four times and passed but two men. It was a game that, with any hitting at all, he would have won, but the weak-armed Cardinals swung with even more futil- ity at Matty’s curves and three safe- ties was the sum of the team’s batting efforts. In fact, but for an error in the field and a battery error, there would have been a 0—0 score at the end of the ninth inning. New York had the timely hit ready however, when the opportunity offered through misplays. Of course, Mike Don- lin was the manufacturer. It was in the fourth inning, with one out, that the lone tally developed. Charles dab- bled too long over Bresnahan’s ground- er and the runner was safe. Donlin singled and Bresnahan went to third. Bliss missed a strike, with Seymour up, and before the ball could be re- covered Bresnahan scored. That was all there was to the scoring. McGraw is*figuring now on having to fight hard for all his games with St. Louis, owing to the strength of the club’s pitching staff. The team has been a bugbear for the Giants all sea- son. 23 RUNNERS IN LONG RACE TODAY Start Was From Ferry Land ing at Venice, Ill., at Noon.

Moreover, the contract between the Old Fox and President Stanl.y Robison of the St. Louis Na- tional League Club is to be signed in this city this week. “Griff still lingers in New York, though he severed his connection with the Highlanders six weeks ago, and after ve @ranges things with President Robison will go out and scout for new players for the Cardinals. “From McCloskey, Griffith will + get a rattling good pitching staff and little else. To build up the St. Louis team the Old Fox will ; : have to go out and hustle for at least one high-grade infielder and one Class A outfielder, besides adding two good catchers to the organization. Griffith’s stipend will not be as large as he received from Frank Farrell, but it will be &@ good one nevertheless.” KETCHELL 2 10 J OVER KELLY NOW California Fight Rush_ to Buy Seats for Bout Fri- day Night.

Ketchel, through his manager, is reported to have placed a heavy wager on himself. BATTLING NELSON LIKES KELLY’S CHANCES TO WIN CHICAGO, July 30.—‘‘I wouldn’t make a bet against Ketchel until I know whether a man of his weight.can knock him out. But . like Kelly’s chances to win the fight Friday night. It all depends on his arm.” his is the way rat ore Nelson sized up the bout of July 31 at San Francisco. Although he admits Ketchel is a great boxer, he says that the Chicago man’s sturdy qualities are such that he does not believe Ketchel can put him away if Hugo’s arm holds out. Kelly has never been knocked out, FORTY ST. LOUIS. WOMEN ENTERED Local Pride Shown in Golf Cham- pionship Tourney to Be Held Here. Determined that St. Louis shall make a success of the Western women’s golf championship, which has been awarded to the Country Club of this city and which will take place next fall, Miss Grace Semple, through whose efforts St. Louis was awarded the event, has already secured the entry of 40 women from St. Louis clubs. Their names have been forwarded to the secretary of the Western Golf Asso- ciation already, much to the astonish- ment of that official The number is a record in the history of the tournament, no one city ever having contributed a like number. At a meeting held at Chicago- yester- day the entries were officially accepted. It is expeeted that even this total from St. Louis will not conclude the number of St. Louls women who will take part in the event. Before the closing time of the entries probably ten more are ex- pected from the Mound City. With this excellent start it is anticipated that the St. Louis tourney will be better attended than any other Western women’s event, as Chicago will send a big delegation, Peek Age Meagher tee country clubs 0 e ndy y, to take pa Mound City event. ee Miss Semple, Mrs. W.

ATTACK ON JAIL: NEGRO LYNCHED a i Jailer Shoots Into Mob Which Returns Fire—Many Are Wounded, Three Fatally.

PENSACOLA, Fla., July 30.—Three men dead and a sccre wounded, three probably fatally, is the record of an at- tempt last night by a mob to storm the County Jail and take out the negro. Leander Shaw, who yesterday assaulted Mrs. Lillian Davis near here. The mob was repulsed at first, but later returned, got the negro and hanged him. The mob numbered probably a thou- sand persons. aA railroad iron was brought into play by a dozen men upon the iron gate of the Jail yard. At the’ same moment the entire mob dashed for the Jail entrance. Some climbed over the tall iron fence while others ham- mered upon the gate. The Sheriff, with half a dozen depu- ties, stood in windows upstairs with drawn revolvers and riot rifles. The Sheriff pleaded with the mob vainly and the moment the first blow was struck on the gate, a volley of shots flashed from the upper windows of the Jail. This was answered by the crowd, which poured volley after volley into the Jail windows, wounding two deputies. The mob was driven back with many wounded and two dead. At midnight the mob, which had been reinforced by many residents of the sur- rounding country, made another attack on the Jail. The Sheriff and officers were over- powered by men who had crept over the rear wall and covered them with rifles and revolvers. Others broke down the cell door and took Shaw out. The negro was carried to the center of the plaza and hanged to an_ electric light pole, after which fully oP a were fired into his dangling In the attack on the Jail Hr. C. Kellum, a street-car conductor, and Bird Nich- ols were killed, while Jailor Eaton, A. tl’.

I know that she collected considerable ‘money and that she turned it over to Grimshaw, who put the amount down opposite her name in a book. “She got her letter from Grimshaw in March, and I understand a number of other young women who belong to Grimshaw's chutch had similar letters.

Variations Between Closing’ and Opening Are Confined to Small Fractions. —_—™

NEW -YORK, July 20.—16 a. m.—The stock market opened irregular this morning: ‘Advances were somewhat more numerous than losses; but in every instance the divergence from the close was confined to a very small fraction. Most of the industrials were slightly higher and there wWeré no declines in this section. National Lead, Great Northern, souri Pacific and Southern Pacific re- mained unchanged. Eric comrmcn opened % higher, and all the other rc’! stocks were either 4% or % off thetr closing quotations. The early trading indicated that the trend of the market was downward, most of the prominent issues recording losses. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Read- ing and Great Northern receded \% each, Northern Pacific, St. Paul and B. & O. % each and Missouri Pacific % point. Amalgamated Copper was the only stock among the industrials to show any activity, all the rest being marked- ly: dull. Outside of Union Pacific trading in the rails division was also very slow, and price movements were of no conse- quence. The early trading had the same characteristic as on Wednesday. American ‘securities in London were irregular and mostly about parity. NEW YORK, July 30, 12:30 p. m.— Trading was exceedingly dull during thé forenoon hours. This is shown by the fact that, fro-v the opening to noon only 216,00) siu..s were sold. Price moveme.its were also insignificant, ex- |cept in a few instances. ‘I'he tendency of the market seemed to be upward, although many of tie prominent issues recorded no changes. Anaconda, B.:& O., St. Paul, Great: Northern, Northern Pacific, Reading and Union Pacific were at parity at noon. . Erie comm ceded % and Pennsyvania %. Lead, Steel preferred and Southern Pacific also slightly weaker. Missouri Pacific gain, advancing 1 Mis- made tne greatest point above its opening.

Through passehger trains from Chicago will be running into Butte, it is said, not later tnan September.

Business men throughout the country are hopeful, and are extending their operations by degrees, believing that the de- pression is now -becoming a, thing of the ~~. The feeling generally is good, and treighis ty increasing slowly, but steadily in’ volum The jameny went on to say that it did not intend to reduce wages, but there was a general feeling among the railroads that there should be a slight increase in freight rates to prevent a a le wage cut.
