Elzemeyer, Y. M.C. A.Swimmer, Saw : Negroes Slain From Roof of © Springfield Hotel.

WOMEN MINGLE WITH PILLAGERS OF HOMES

Disturbance Which Cost Lives Started With Smashing ot Restaurant and Burning of Automobile and Spread Until Homes Were Sacked and Fired.

After spending the night on the roof of a high building watch- ing the scenes of riot and bloodshed at Springfield, II1., night. E. C. Elzemeyer ,the Y. M. St. Louis Saturday and told a graphic eye-witness’ story of the disorder. “The real riot started ‘shortly’ after . the crowd had surged from the jail to Loper’s restaurd@nt and smoastel it and hie automobile,” said Elzemeyer. . “The mob niimbered about 00, I should judge, at the time, and they went from laper’s to a negro shanty ciose by, where tw o men aud a woman were discovered. A policeman tried to get through the mob. ‘‘He finally succeeijed, and, yelling at the top of his voice to the. frenzied men and women about him, said: ‘Give me these niggers, and you cau burn down the entire row of houses.’ The suggestions undoubtedly made as a desperate attemp: at saving the negroes’ lives, caught on act once, and, with a rush, the crowd surrounded am inveaded the doomed shanties. Every feurth person carried a torch, and ina twinkling the entire row was ablaze. “The fire department was summone., but members of the-mob cut the hose and the firemen were helpless. When it was seen that the houses would be consumed, the mob, led by a giant statured man and a woman. with streaming hair, went down the &treet, seeking for more houses to burn. ‘Saloons, business places and houses of negroes were sacked and burned as goon as they were pointed out. Had there being any wind, the flames prob- ably would have spread and consumed most of the city. “At every saloon, the liquor would be confiscated before the torch was ap- plied, and before many hours passed the active members of the mob, to a man, were drunk, Their insensible bodies were lying about the street and lots when I caught a car this morning. “T had seen enough to give me a sinking feeling by this time, and I went to my hotel, with the intention of re- tiring for the night in an effort to forget all the horrors, but it was im- possible. . “I could hear the noises of the mob, mingled with the shrieks of the ne- \ gtoes whenever one was dragged forth, ,and in a short time while I dressed and left my room. j pires In the hotel lobby a committee of the mob were searching for negro por- ters. One was found and beaten un- conscious before he could be dragged from them. The mob crossed the street to the Ses Hotel and repeated the gcene there. “T met a traveling salesman from St. Paul in the lobby, and we decided to elimb to the roof and watch the burn- ing buildings. We did so and the mob's actions could be seen plainiy at fre- quent intervals, the bright glare of the flames illuminating the tareets wonder- fully. “The sight was disgusting and nerve- racking, but to turn away was no re- Hef, as the Imagination pictured hor- Tore even worse tha nthe ty when negroes Were heard. ® “Until daybreak and the coming of the militia we watched, and I have a @lear conception of what Nero's char- acter must have been. The destruction created by the mob seeméd equal to of the Frisco earthquake. Women d young giris remained with the van- nt day the night, taking an fe part in the burriing of houses —— — of negroes.

The mob was armed principally with clubs and torches, but shots from revolvers and shotguns were continually heard, and it is surprising to me that more fatal- ities were not caused, “I felt that I could not pass an- other night in Springfield with the impression of Friday night still vivia- ly in niy mind, so I took an early car for St. Louis.” GIRL {5 BYING, TWO MEDICAL STUDENTS HELD Girl Makes Ante-Mortem State- ment Implicating Her Sweetheart.

Miss Mabel Thompson, 21 years old, is thought to be dying at the home of Dr. A. E. Linder in Bast St. Louis, as the result of a surgical operation, physicians holding forth no hope for her. William A. Gaston, a young medical student, to whom she says she has been engaged for four years, and “Doc- tor’’ Ray L. Hild, another student, are held prisoners at the Central Police Station here, on the strength of a state- ment made by the girl to Assistant Cir- cult Attorney Rosskopf. Miss Thompson is the daughter of S. R. Thompson of Sparta, Ill. Her family has been notified of her condi- tion and her brother, Ollie Thompson, is at her bedside. Her mother is dead, and she has for four years been living at the home of Dr. Linder, at 713 st. Louis avenue. Gaston was arrested Friday after. noon at the home Dr. Linder, where he had been called by a telephone mes- sage that the girl wished to see him. Detectives from St. Louis ana Bast St. Louls were in hiding in the house, and when ‘raston appeared he was arrested. He willing accompanied the detectives to St. Louls without requi- sition. The arrest followed a statement made by Miss Thompson to Assistant Attor-. ney Rosskopf, in which she told the full story of her relations with Gas- ton. Und was arrested Friday night, at his home, 3202 Pine street. According to Miss Thompson's story, she and Gaston first became acquainted four years ago, when both were living in Baldwin, Ml. For four years they have been en- gaged, she said. Gaston is a graduate of a St. Leuls medical college, but had failed to pass the examination before the State Board of Medical Examiners and had never received authc

INS OPRED. NEGRU PASTOR TO TALK PEACt

, -~ “ Well-Known Colored Man Goes From Peoria to Ad- vise Members of Race.

PEORIA, IIl., Aug. 15.—Rev. Henry W. Jameson, pastor of the African Meth- odist Episcopal Church here, left today for Springfield, where he hopes to bring about peace between the whites and the negroes there. As he boarded a train for the scene of the bloodshed Friday night and early Saturday, he denounced the actions of the rioting mobs. He said: “It is a deplorable affair. It is another blot on the good name of our fair State. {t emphasizes the fact that the undesirable citizens, both white and black, ‘ought not to be per- mitted to amalgamate. It is usually the undesirable of boii classes mixing freely with each cther both North and South that causes so much trouble. ‘As undesirable as mob law and lynchings are they are the swiftest agents of revenge. “t¢ the thinking white man and the intelligent colored man would unite along the lines of civic righteousness the classes referred to would be either in- carcerated in the Penitentiary or Work- house or be driven out of society, either of which Would be more healthful than the present state of affairs.’ Mr. Jameson is the most in- tiuential colored man in Illinois and all morning he was mixing with his race in Peoria calming them and telling all that he would do his best to settle the trouble when he reached Springfield. Mr. Jameson was the leader of the colored troops which rushed San Juan hill to the rescue of s.oosevelt’s Rough Riders and many of his old command, who are now in Peoria, wanted to go to Springfield with him, but he refused them, advising all that it was better to remain in Peoria and to keep qulet. He is going to try and calm his people and keep them free from stirring up mote strife. He is known by every col- ored man in Illinois and will probably remain in Springfie'd until the whole trouble is settled.

WHISKY POURED NTO CREEK ARI SH GET DRUNK Kentuckians Surprised When Members of Finny Family Flop on Bank.

.FRANKFORT, Ky., Aug. 15.—Thete are enough “drunks” floating down Elk- horn Creek to stock a national conven- tion. For the first time in their lives the Colonels living in the region of the town of Midway have taken to water and are obtaining their ‘“‘souses” with fishing poles. When Greenbauer’s distillery, which, for some reason or other, was situated near the creek, was destroyed by fire, 50,000 barrels of firewater were emptied into the water. This happened yester- day and this morning every fish that inhabited the creek below Midway had a “hang-over.”’ The whisky floated down stream at the rate of two miles an hour. Fisher- men along the. banks noticed that the water suddenly was assuming the color of their own bait. They Were surprised to see staid old members of the finny family that had behaved themselves de- corously for yegrs suddenly flop out on the bank and attempt to climb a tree. Turtles came staggering up the slepes, pursued by crawfishes bent on a fight. Everything below the water line seemed to have been drinking like a fish. It was a glorious day for the fishes, but a sad one for the fishermen. The former were too drunk to see the bait. Crowds have lined the creek all morning watching the antics of the fish. Several of the Colonels who are authorities on the subject say the fish will be sober tomorrow morning, when the whisky will have pessed out of Elkhorn Creek, waged presumably, out of the Ash,

Believing that she was the victim of a malady from which there was no hope of recovery, Miss Grace Jones, 22 years old, swallowed carbolic acid in. the kitchen of her home, 52% West Poepping street, at 8:15 o’clock Saturday morn- ing. She died before a physician reached the house, 0 minutes later. Her mother, Mrs. Elmira Jones, was 15 feet away when the young women drank the poison. They had been work- ing together in the kitchen, and Mrs. Jones turned to go into the yard. She heard a scream. Turning, she saw her daughter lying on the floor with an empty two-ounce vial beside her. She was still breathing when Mrs, Jones lifted her from the floor.

The situation is made acute by the presence of hundreds of homeless negroes, who came out of hiding after the troops arrived. These negroes are without shelter, money or food as the result of the burning of ten square blocks of their homes and business places by the mob, _. Hourly additions are being made to the list of wounded, whieh this morning approached 70 in number. Most of the wounded late- ly reported are negroes.

John Caldwell, one of the men shot by the troops, died at st. | 2 | John’s Hospital this morning. | William Bowe, chief clerk in the office of the County Treas- · urer, died at 10 a. m. today.

Then began the looting and burning in the “Levee” district of negro homes: and business places. In this district, extending along four biécks of Washing- ton street leading to the Wabash depot, the mob “cleaned up” aed burned every negro saloon and rooming house. Barber shops were entered, the cutlery thrown into the alley or pocketed by the rioters, and the chairs pitched through the windows. An automobile and bicycle shop was one of the first places set on fire. “We'll fix this street 80 a- white woman can walk along here without being annoyed,” cried members of the mob, Many of the negroes had fled, but some of those who remained were armed, and they fired from windows on the crowd. One of the bullets, rebounding from the sidewalk, entered the breast of G.

JEERS AND MISSILES ANSWER WA RNING. f At Twelfth and Madison streets, the scene of the execution of Hunter, the / mob made a stand against the troops. “Disperse to your homes, or I give the order to fire!” cried Col. Shand to the throng, which numbered more than 1000. ' Jeers and missiles answered the warning. “Toad!’’ commanded Col. Shand, and as the rifles of the three companies ‘@iicked, he gave the command to fire. As the mob féll back, he ordered a sec- ond volley. When the mob had fled, five men were picked up, too seriously wounded to sit up. They were Jolin Roderick, shot through the thigh; Charles Wolfe, shot in the left leg below the knee; Louis Hanen, shot in the chest, groin and chin; John Caldwell, shot in the stomach, and a train caller named Malof, shot through the thigh. The five wounded men were taken to St. Caldwell are in a critical coriditton. The militia was then stationed at the corner and at points thféughout the “Levee” district, and the local and Decatur companies , Were reinforced by troops from Danville, Arcola, Pontiac, Bloomington, Peoria’ Taylorville, Quincy end Champaign. The gatling gun section and the three local companies of the Third Regiment also were on duty. Many miners are coming to town, and it is feared more trouble may occur as & result of their presence. Some of them are declaring they will revenge the death of William Bowe, who was a miner at one time and a member of the union. The tree at Twelfth and Madison streets from which the negro Burton was hung was cut down today. In a short while most of it had been carried away by persons who chipped o* pieces of it for souvenirs. Hundreds of homeless negroes stood calmly’ by and watched the proceedings.

Richardson had been arrested, and, on Mrs. Hallam's statement that she thought he was the man, had been placed in Jail. “Lynch him!“ cried the throng which gathered around the Jail, growing as the afternoon advancedy “And don’t forget the nigger that xilled Hosea Ballard: shouted others. Ballard was stabbed to death a month ago by a negro whom he found hiding in his daughter's room. Leé James, a negro, was found drunk in & park néar Ballard’s house the next morning, and was unable to account for tne night before. His trial was continued a few days ago, that the State might seek more evidence, and there have since been expressions of impatience with the law’s slowness. Springfleld had never had a lynching. Sheriff Werner did not ntend that one should occur. But the growing mob, which _policemen were unable to dispefse, alarmed him. He telephoned to Harry Léper, commissary ‘of the Second Brigade, Illi- nois National Guard, and proprietor of the largest restaurant im Springfield. He asked the loan of Loper’s automobile, to get the prisoners out of Springfield. Loper granted the request, and ran his machine to a corner near the Jail. Then Sheriff Werner sent a deputy to a nearby corner to turn In a false alarm of fire. As the engines clamored to the corner, the crowd for the mo- ment turned its back on the Jail. During this diversion the Sheriff and a deputy hurried the two negroes from the Jali into the machine, and the car darted up a side street. Only a few in the mob saw the ruse but. word spread quickly. There was a rush in the direction in which the autumobile had gone, then a how! of fury as the throng realized that the accused negroes were out of their reach. GROWING CROWD FILLS THE SALOONS, There was no demonstration against the Jail at the time, but the mob did not disperse. A 6-cent picture show was near by, and the crowd gathered in front of the place, jeering the ‘“‘barker.’’ Until dark, the crowd, constantly growing, filled the saloons and the streets. Prudent negroes kept out of the way: A party of young negroes who were more reckless than the rest ventured where the crowd was thickest, and, as was almost unayoldable in the crowd, collided with some white men. Instantly the air was filled with curses and threats. “Get them, they'll do,” shouted several voices. The negroes turned into an alley, and all escaped, hotly chased by the white men. “Let's go to Loper’s,” cried one of the panting and angry men. “The —— — nigger lover! If it wasn’t for him and his automobile we'd have got those niggers in the Jail.” “On to Loper’s!"” the mob yelled.

Loper, fearing to kill innocent persons by firing, retreated to the rear of @he room, and sat there, his gun. across his lap, as the mob advanced. When men éntered and began to kick chairs and tables about, he fired twice. The angry men, instead of retreating, charged him before he could fire again, and he was driven to the basement. There he found that the mob had broken in by another entrance, and was looting his stock of liquor. What they could. not drink they weré hurling recklessly through the windows. Outside stood.

The saloong remained closed today and every pos- sible precaution is being taken to pre- vent a repetition of the disturbaneg. In addition to Loper’s Cafe, 3% places of business occupied by negroes on Washington street, between Seventh and Tenth streets, were literally torn to pieces. Violent explosions and winds could not have accomplished more -de- struction. The negro quarters over these places were emptied and every window was shot out. All the open liquor in these saloons was poured out. The sealed packages were carried awa, by the mob. The burning began one block north of the business houses that had been wrecked on Washington street. Taking in a long rectangular section of the city, extending from Jefferson on the south, Mason on the north and from Ninth to Twelfth, the mob burned every house in which negro women resided. From Twelfth street east the more respectable colony reside, and the mob had just commenced on it when the soldiers rushed in. For a minute the rioters gave way and then turned to resist. Two of the volleys were fired into the air by the soldiers, but the third was aimed low. Governor Cares for Negroes, Plans were made early today by Gov. Deneen for caring for the negroes whose homes were destroyed. The State Arsenal will be thrown tents will be pitched at Camp Lincoln for the accommodation of the homeless. Guards will be placed at both the Arsenal and Camp Lincoln and the State will care for all those who were burned out.

To avoid the possibility of pursuit from Springfield it was announced that the men had been transferred to Peoria, and the officials here still persist in the story.” There has been no excitement here. — — ¢- -—- — MOB LAYS SIEGE TO JAIL IN HOPE OF LYNCHING NEGROES NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 15.—A mob of 300 men attacked the Portsmouth Jail at 2 a. m. today, bent on lynching | Those who remalined THREE SPRINGFIELDS IN A 4 Three cities named Springfield have been the scenes of race riots within the pagt three years.

To end the disorder it was necessary to call out the State militia and declare the city under martial law. At Springfield, Mo., in 1906, a white woman was assaulted by a negro. Several suspects were Ar- rested, but none was identified defi- nitely. A mob stormed the Jail, took three negrues held on various ' charges and hanged them in the public square, destroying the bod- ies in a bonfire.

The timely appearance of Mr. Craft and his neighbor, J. M. Fuller, while the negro was choking Mrs. Peterson, prevented her from being seriously hurt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 15..—When Judge William H. Wallace, recent can- didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, was asked today regard- ing the report that he would get into the race for the senatorship and op- pose Folk and Stone, he said: “T have not authorizéd anyone,” he said, ‘‘to announce me as a candidate for any office. At this time I am not a candidate for Senator or any other of- fice; haven’t thought of it, haven't talked about it, and nobody has au- thority from me to say anything about it. I am goihg to my farm in a few days to take a good long rest. “A map is foolish to say what he will or will not do itn the future, but at present I am not a candidate for the Senate or anything else.

A resolution was introduced by Frank Gerhart, representing the St. Louls Real Estate Exchange, declaring President O’Reilly’s plan would place the rall- roads desiring to. usé the bridge at the mercy of the Terminal! Association, and would be 10 times fas costly as other plans, which were preferable. The Gerhart resolution followed the ublicity given @ part of the report by J. C. Van Ornum of Washing- versity, a member. of the com- inted by Mayor Wells to in- vestigate O’Rellly’s conduct of the free bridge preliminary work, Prof. Van Ornum commented upon the delay of the work, declaring it to be “slow and extravagant,’~and the fact that great attention had heen paid to the railroad approaches, work which, he said, should be left the railroads desir- ing to use the bridgé. O'Reilly Explains. : In an interview with the Post-Dis- patch, President O'Reilly explained his reasons for his long approach extending over the svveral rallroads tracks on the East Side, saying: “I don’t want to be responsibie for a bridge which lands in a swamp on the east side and reaches neither railroad connection or the commercial center of East St. Louis. The approach I plan will be about 6900 feet long. It will cross the Conlogue tracks, the Mobile & Ohfo, the Southern and the lines of the Illinois Central. “Under the Illinols law there muat be a clearance of 22 feet over the tracks. If I should attempt to let the approach down between any of these railroad lines, the approach would then be too steep for any real use.

A resolution, introduced by Charles F. Ziebold, president fo the West End Busi- ness Men's Association, scored the “Big Cinch,” President O'Reilly of the Board of Public Improvements and Comptrol- ler Player. The resolution declares Player and O'Reilly have delayed the beginning of the work on the structure by “‘state- ments grossly untrue ahd incorrect.” The use of the tcrm “Big Cinch” brough forth an objection from Owen Miller, president of the Central Trades and Labor Union, who declared it to be too indefinite. f Wants “Big Cinch” Named, “Those composing the ‘Big Cinch’, should be named," dielared Miller. “They are such men as Mayor Wells, D. ſe Francis, James Campbell and Ed But- ier, though Butler is now old and pretty well out of the running.” Sheridan Webster, secretary of tho committee, voiced the same sentiments as did Miller. “We recognize the ‘Big Cinch’ as the. power behind Mayor Wells, President O'Reilly and the other officials who are interfering with the will of the. people.

Done for the Pest-Dispatch. BY CLARENCE L. CULLEN. this: Every time they pull one of these moss-littered maxims oo) me that’s been wearing the fringe ever since the Black Hawk War, I'm going to the floor with it, even if they do accuse m¢ of picking on the old. You're Jeremiah to it, I suppose, that the women folks are ladling out upper- cuts and pivot swings on the old Metch- nikiffer who nudged through the other day with the sting that bad bread causes more divorces than booze. The women's way of countering is to haul out and dust off that aged oné, ‘’The way to a man’s heart lies through his stomach.” When you first hear it, that noises like a bull’s-eye. But I'll have to have the Demonstrators’ Union sh w me. The women all believe it, because their mothers before them believed it. When they see it heaped up in type they get | ly and gloaty and show it to their * and say: “Here it is right in the paper, so there, now!” and that’s sup- posed to cancel all bets, and no time for a new book. Well, I've been nibbling on these Ter- hune “Love Stories of History’’ lately, an. now I'né tne big asker about that “way to the heart through his stomach” dab. I suppose the reason Romeo became such a nut over Juliet that the squirrels chased him was because she had every- body on her biock chained to the cap- stan when it came to making a veal potpte. I guess it was Cleopatra's way of dish- i: - up pigs’ knuckles for Antony that made him flag his job in Rome and stick around in the hot sun of Egypt, spatting the Nile mosquitoes, just to be near her. Paris picked up Helen of Troy and beat it with her to: the steep cactus, because she'd hypnotized him with her brand of Irish stew, hey? J* Pig Head No. 1, maybe, but get but I guess these few will induce that maxim to exit limping. To take a little veer around; women, I suppose, don’t care for that eat thing. When you've got it pretty bad, and want to line out a little hit for your- self, I suppose you tell her that her voice makes you think of little, tingling, crystal rills, and that her wicks remind you of the saphire sea off Seagate at sunrise, and all like that? If you did she’d ring a cow bell on you. Instead of tugging anything like that on her, you ask her how a little mound of lobster in accordance with the Newburg platform would do. And when you spin her that, I guess maybe she doesn't pick up her moccasins and tippytoes along with you, and perhaps she doesn’t drop a hint, over the feed, that you're hitting something over 40 and still going easy on the chinstrap? When the married one feels a little velvety, does he win five points for a first with his wife by taking her to the Museum of Natural History for a little afternoon’s outing? Not so that you could lamp it with the help of a man-o-war searchlight. He tells her over the phone to pin on her tent and came on down to the of- fice and pick him up and they’ll go to that little rathskellar place they know about and have about fourteen dollars’ worth of cooxning that won’t remind "em of the flat. , Or if late at night he sort of warms up toward the spouse for not having let on thet she smelt his breath when he came home from the office, and he wants to reward her, does he take down a copy of ‘‘Thanatopsis"’ and read it aloud to her? Not if he’s properly tuned up at his job. Instead of that, he buttons his coat around his neck, kicks on his slippers and siinks around the corner for an armful of Swiss cheese sand- wiches and a wash boiler of malt, and when he comes back she stakes him to the gazelle gaze and wades through his purchases, and after a while she tells him, gurgly like, that she just doesn’t know what she'd do if anything were to happen to him, ‘deed she doesn’t and he’s a sure knockout with her. Yes, I'm a pig head, I guess, but they don’t unweave it at my little red schoolhouse that the alimentary canal belonged exclusively to the shav- over Aspasia just because she knew ing sex, and that’s why I’m grunting how to fuss up the kind of pot roast|¢or the diagram and exhibit A on the * proputition that the only way to get a ® lot more that I might] scissor’s hold on the sentimental string Terhune had only finished] of the half of the sketch is to feed series, so's I'd know their names,/ the skate.

There fs a genuine tonic in the laughter that comes from a happy heart. Disease and death abide in solemnity and morbidity. There are no doxology tunes in the cheery musio of nature.

According to all accounts, the arrival of the Cameron Highlanders in Pekin fo replace the Middlesex Regiment as legation guards, has created something of a sensation among the inhabitants.

It is safe to say that none of them were boys who were compelled to eat corn bread three times a day. The old-fashioned boy also had mush and milk for supper. Mush and milk is very filling, but however full you may stuff yourself with it you are soon hungry again. Indeed, the old-fashioned children were compelled to eat all the mush and milk they could and then hurry to bea and go to sleep, to keep from starving to death. Occasionally the older folks in. the famifly . had wheat bread, and the children Would look longingly at it and wonder if they would ever be able to eat it. In the More polite famises wheat bread was passed around when there was company at the house, but the children were instructed to say, “No, thank you, Ma’am; I prefer corn bread.”” We used to know a boy who always took wheat bread under such circumstances and would even call on his mother to pass it the second time; he cheerfully stood the whipping he got afterward for the privilege of eating wheat bréad.— Atchison Globe. — — — eee CASTORIA For Infants and The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of 3 — — SABA.

re Schweitzer Bats in Pinch and Fans, and Browns Drop First to Athletics. a=

BY v. = Sporting Editor of A en to 2. FTER communing with himself all night, Manager Browns has about arrived at the conclusion that he lost the opening ‘ ment of this momentous campaign of the Browns in the East, gy against the Athletics here yesterday and won by Connie Mack’s men, WRAY, the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15. MeAleer of the To arrive at this conclusion it was necessary to sift down 14 “ifs” and dispel the baleful influence of several “howevers, standings.” After due consideration, he decided that defeat did. not result from Rube J Waddell’s only two bases on balls, each of which netted a run in the end; nor on Hobe Ferris’ misjudgment of Harry Davis’ puny bounder in the fifth epoch, which contributed the other necessary Pare, hiladelphia tally; nor did he consider 3 . th —* be ‘y the defeat due to a letdewn in pitching 4» by the Rube, nor to a batting defi- ciency on the part of the Browns. He simply remembered that eighth inning, when the Browns were at bat, tagged himself and said ‘I’m it.” Like all interesting innings, two men were out, The score was 3 to 2 against Instead of Calling ” interposing a few “notwith- the Browns, and every run on both ‘sides had resulted from an error or a base on balls. Wallace jumped into the breach with a double. Chief pinch-hit- ter Ferris was purposely passed, and then the batting order read “‘C. Jones.”’ But C. Jones had fanned twice, and with a man on first and second one run tie and two to win, the command- er-in-chief of the Browns hesitated. He swapped his cud into the other cheek, while he tried to hurry the operation of the thought foundry. Then he straight- ened up on the firing line and waved C. Jones back to tne first aid of the minor leaguers—the bencn. Criss

He Draws on Hospital Corps The devoted band of St. Louis rooters hugged themselves with delight, ex- pecting the astute leader to uniimber his heavy artillery, Dode Criss. But in- ~ stead, he called upon the hospital corps end sent Schweitzer to the front to bat or C. Jones. Schweitzer, who is on /the eve of. an operation, and who had not been in action for many days. One swing of the Criss weapon and the fame would have been tied or won; but the hospital department landed heavily on salt-laden zephyrs and sat down with the Browns: virtually beaten. So Gen. James recognized his tact- ical blunder, after pondering, and promised never again to lead a 10 spot “when he had jacks or better in his hand. Despite defeat there was nothing in the game to discourage followers of the Browns. Waddell pitched excellently. He had speed, fair control and all he usually has against the Athletics. His defeat was the first this year by this team, and can be laid at the door of no one weakness. He struck out six men to Plank’s seven. He gave two bases on balls to Plank’s three. Each was hit safely seven times—rather even for opposing twirlers. Both clubs had five opportunities to score; Philadelphia had the luckier breaks and accepted three of them to the Browns two. Officially .he Browns played an errorless game and the Philadelphia team had one error—rather close work as between teams.

Twice he lined out hits and twice runners scored. The third time he came up Plank took no chance and passed him. For the other chances, Williams, Wal- lace and Schweitzer failed. In the third only one was down, with men on second and third, when Wallace came up. He, and Williams after him, both failed. Schweitzer fanned, his only effort. The Browns, at the outset, seemed to have something on the Athletics in the second and third innings, and they worked the hit-and-run play until it seemed Plank must weaken. But that great left-hander stiffened up and the

Browns’ hitters could do little there- after.

a ¢ Baseball rules permit a pitcher to throw wide of the plate at will.and pass a batter. It Is argued that the penalty which follows—a base on balis—suffi- ciently recompenses the batsman for the loss of his opportunity to hit. The batter, however, is not at liberty to step from his box to bat ‘at such wide balls. The rules place him at the mercy of any pitcher who wants to sac- rifice a base rather than risk a run, or worse. Thus all the efficiency of a good bat- ter can made to count for naught, and just at a time when it is most needed. Today the pitcher is the strongest unit in a baseball team. He is hedged about and protected until the poor batsman has so few privileges that his average is rapidly becoming a mere suspicion of its former greatness. Why not safe- guard the batter a trifle since it is he who wins games and is just as im- portant a factor as the box artist who saves them? N adding “Violet’’ Heidrick to the Browns’ staff of outfielders Mc- Aleer’s club today takes prece- dence of probably any club in the coun- try in the quality and quantity of its defensive reserves. If today the entire outfield of the regular Browns were to gO wrong it could be replaced with men almost the equals of the present incum- bents.. Schweitzer, now getting well, Heidrick and Hoffman, will with Stone, Jones and Hartzell, favorably. compare and Infield Strong Also. Or if, at one time, three infielders were put. out of commission, Smith, Hartzell and Yaeger could do acceptably, pending the recovery of T. Jones, Wil- liams or Wallace and Ferris, although they would hardly compare with the yon infield for any extended period. Behind the bat, Stephens, Spencer and Smith are a sufficient protection against calamity. Only in the pitcher's’ box does misfortune promise serious trouble, and apparently the fates have finished playing tag with the twirling staff. When Heidrick rejoins the club in Washington that outfield is likely to un- dergo a change. It is late to experi- ment, but McAleer feels he will be safe in trying a combination in which Schweitzer and Heidrick will both figure in the regular line-up. Stone is a tired

man, willing, but in need of a rest. If “Violet” is the same speedy base run-any PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug! 15. OLONS of the baseball world have still a few points to take up before all the injustices of the national pastime have been rectified. Watch- ing the clever, even great left-hander Plank deliberately throw four balls wids of the plate because he feared the batsman, little Hobe Ferris, might: come to the rescue of the Browns with a third timely hit, calls to mind one weakness that seems to need bolstering, ner, hard hitter and great thrower he formerly was, Stone may be given a let- up pending the time the club attacks the Tigers in that 1ll-game encounter which may decide the pennant. It is to this series that McAleer is looking with greatest anxiety and his purchase of Heidrick at this time is un- doubtedly to offset that formidable De- troit trio, Cobb, Crawford and MclIn- tyre with equally hard hitters and fast base runners. Schweitzer, Heidrick, Stone! That might spell pennant yet. HILADELPHIA fans are down on x that astute and wise. manager, Connie Mack, for trading s0o promising a young catcher as Sid Smith for Bert Blue, who had proved to the satisfaction of Manager McAleer that he was too timid to hold down the post of catcher on a big league team. The prevailing opinion here is that Connie Mack traded the young catcher more to help McAleer than any expectation of getting a winner in Blue. In fact, Mack is openly accused of favoring McAleer and the Browns in the pennant race and it is hinted his favoritism is shown in the case of Smith. MeAleer Himself Puzzled, “I can’t understand the deal myself,” said Manager McAleer this morning. “Connie Mack is certainly a smart judge of baseball men. We fixed up the trade in St. Louis by a sort of accident, he expressing dissatisfaction with Smith. I offered him Blue and he accepted. I know Smith is a coming catcher. I have seen him at work. But Mack must have something against him or he would not have traded him. Mack is not let- ting any good things slip, especially a catcher, something he stands in need of. “Myself, I wanted Smith for a substi- tute first baseman as well as a receiver. I have remained awake nights trying to figure what I would do if Tom Jones were injured. I would have been forced to send Spencer to urst base, and ‘Hack,’ while the willingest worker in the world, bt pa not be fast enough to Tom’s work. *°.amith has played first base and played it acceptably. I feel easier about this one problem as a result of Mack's e. —e nothing to the report that Mack is playing favorites in the race. The Athletics have next year to think about and could not afford to overlook bets through sheer charity.” —_

McGRAW 1S HERE WITH 28 MEN Giants Have Big Party on Trip; Mabel Hite Along as Rooter.

For pomp and display, Muggsy Mc- Graw, Mike Donlin and company, known as the New York Giants, have just a bit more class than any other baseball club in the world. This band of New Yorkers arrived in St. Louis last even- ing 37 strong, 28 of the party being play- ers. It is doubtful if any club ever carried such a crowd before. If numbers will win the pennant the Giants will walk in. Chief among the extra members was Mabel Hite, wife of the illustrious cap- tain, Mike Donlin, and the popular little actress of Broadway, as well as Chi- cago and the entire vaudeville circuit. She will be present at every game to root for the Giants. She is a baseball enthusiast and, next to Mike, loves the game best of all. A string of newspaper men and sev- eral Broadway rooters are in the par- ty and they are organizing their roat- ing forces with the Chicago games in view. However, they are not expecting a snap in St. Louis, because of the strong left-handed twirlers on McClos- key’s team, and St. Louis fans will have a chance to see the best the Giants have in every game. Only one player was left behind, that being Davy Brain, who is on the sick list. Jack Barry, until recently the cap- tain of the Cardinals, will play in left field in the series here. The team arrived a little before 11 o’clock last night and took possession of the Planters Hotel. oe. — EMPIRE MEETING TO BEGIN TODAY Yonkers Track Has Been Improved and Big Attendance Is Expected at the Opening.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The racing Campaign in the metropolitan district opens again today at the Empire City track, onkers, where a two weeks’ meeting is scheduled. The general admission fee has been reduced to $2. Stable room has been increased to accommodate 600 horses. An improvement appreciated by turfmen is the use of the new chute, constructed at the far end of the first bend, for races to be run at three-quarters of a mile. Heretofore these races were started on the turn of the track, which Was dangerous and unsatisfactory. The track yesterday was very fast. With continued fair weather the Yon- kers Handicap, which is the feature of the card today, should produce a fast race. Many Saratoga visitors arrived last hight. President James Butler has instructed @ special policemen at the track to force all iaws, especially those re- lating to the prohibition of betting. Today's racing will be the oniy con- flict with the Saratoga track, which closes its season this afternoon.

BRITONS FINALLY MAKE A DEFENSE Olympic Officials Try to Justify Themselves by Pointing Out Rules Were English.

Copyright, 1908. by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) LONDON, Aug. 15.—In reply to Amer- ican criticisms the British Olympic of- ficials, after an interval of over three weeks, have issued a statement setting forth the evidence on which the decision to disqualify Carpenter was based. The frame of mind in which the offi- cials approached the contest is plainly seen from the statement of Starter H. Coble. He said he was instructed by the referee to caution competitors against wilfull jostling and to inform them that in such a case the race would be declared void, the offender disquali- fied, and the race run over without him. This he told them. Furthermore, he added, the officials posted every few yards a warning note against any such jostiings. Witnesses Discredit London Papers. The principal witnesses as to the jostling incident were Dr. A. R. Badger, vice-president of the English Athletic Association, and David Basan, who was stationed at the spot where the inci- dent occurred. Both assert that Car- penter ran wide until within 18 inches of the outer edge of the track. Curious to state, however, their description of the positions of the three men at the bend and on entering the straight dif- fers from that given by every London paper the morning after the race, but corroborates that given by the Post-Dis- patch. The London papers said Carpen- ter was leading at this point, whereas in reality it was Robbins, whom Carpen- ter and Halswelle were trying to get by. The statement also shows that the referee of the race was David Scott Duncan, secretary of the Scottish Ath- letic Union. Halsweile, it should mentioned, is a Scottish champion. Deoesn’t Like American Rules. Theodore Cook, a member of the Olympic council, who is responsible for the publication of the statement, says: “phe Americans obviously were dis- satisfied because we did not use their rules. As to the facts, there is no ques- tion here, either from the American side or any other side. The only question is whether the Olympie games should have been run under American rules or un- der the English code. As to this, all I can say is that after our experience of what the American code appears to permit, no English athlete is likely to accept it as a fair basis for interna- tional competition.” SARATOGA ASSOCIATION IS OUT $70,000 ON MEETING Attendance Increased in Last Eight Days, but Was Light at Start. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 15.—The race meeting here this season has lost $70,- 00. This statement is made on the authority of an official of the Saratoga Racing Association. During the earl~ part of the meeting the attendance was very light, but tn the last eight days it improved consid- erably. If the association had cut out most of the $10,000 stakes it could have made a few thousand dollars’ profit. The meeting ends today with the Hopeful stakes, which is worth nearly $20,000, the North American steeplechase and the Merchants’ and Citizens’ handi- cap. The Association has figured upon a good attendance, but if it should rain the loss today will exceed $30,000.

SATURDAY—8ST. LOUIS POST.DISPATOH—AUGUST 15, 1908, ALL METHODISTS GIVEN IMPETUS 33 Four Administrative Sections With Independent Confer- ences Proposed. ’ 60,000 ARE TO PARADE All Catholics in City Will 4, March When Cathedral : Is Dedicated. A union of all American Methodist bodies is the ideal which a number of Methodist leaders have set before them- . gélyes, and the movement has received @onsiderable impetus because of the promptness with which the Methodist Protestant Church turned from the Con- gregationalists when union overtures Were received from the Methodist Epis- copal General Conference. Previously there have been efforts to bring together the Methodist Episcopal and the Southern Methodist churches, and they are being continued, for lead- era say that nothing like Methodist union can be claimed as long as the two principal denominations—the North- ern and the Southern Methodist—remain Another proposition is that all the ne- gro Methodists of the country be en- couraged to form a denomination of themselves. _ Another plan is for the entire Meth- odist Church to unite in one organiza- tion, divided into four administrative gections, each section to have. a gen- eral conference independent of the oth- ers, but the whole church to be united under one discipline. Nearly all Methodist bodies now have Committees charged with the considera- tion of union plans, but it is likely that many years will pass before their find- tings, if in favor of union, can be put into operation. 60,000 Catholics to Parade. At the laying of the corner stone of the new Catholic Cathe al on Oct. 18, * there will be a parade "Teja 60,000, repre- senting all the parishe: and Catholic societies in the tity and county.

Who Gave Fete For Post-Dispatch Fund. * T was a great day around Taylor and Labadie avenues when the Cave children gave their lawn fete for the Pest- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. The rain Wednesday afternoon, although it out down the attendance and the receipts, did not for a moment dampen the enthusiasm of the young entertainers nor check the amusement of The fete was distinctly a success, despite the rain. It netted $14.05 for the fund. The lawn was decorated with Jap- anese lanterns in profusion, and there were refreshments and many ways of am using those who attended. The fun took place on W. H.
