CHORUS GIRL” BRIDE TAM VARSITY HER —_

Senator Aldrich’s Nephew Is Seeking Safety in Divorce.

CHOKED . HIM, HE SAYS

Renowned Football Player Too Scared to Tell Police- man About If.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 15.—The naive confession in a divorce petition filed in the local court’ ghis week by Charles B. Aldrich, hero of many a University of Chattanooga football game, an athlete of interscholastic fame, actor and favorite nephew of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode !seland, has robbed this society and matinee favorite of much of the halo settled upon him by his™many admirers. Mr. Aldrich confesses in his petition that the former chorus girl, Mona Ridgeway, of the “Fallen by the Way- side’’ Company, frightened him nearly to death by strangling him one night in their handsome apartments in this city and that she had-him so badly scared that when a policeman -hurst in their door, he was afraid to do else than sub- Stantiate her report that they were. prac- ticing a vaudeville act for the summer gardens and that no personal violence was contemplated. | ’ Since thus shedding his heroic role, Mr. Aldrich has not been in Chattanooga and it is considered doubtful if he re- turns except for the hearing of the case in October. Before the filing of this suit, it was his announced intention to Feturn and complete his law course, as he . failed to receive a diploma last Spring, owing to the interruption of his studiés by the ardent courtship of Miss Ridgeway while she wasy playing half- Week stands on the Southern circuit. |*From Stage to University. The story of young Aldrich’s career for the past four years reads like a ro- mance. He ig the nephew of an indul- gent and wealthy United States Senator who saw to it that he was never with- dut funds. For three seasons he had a leading part in a road company playing “The Land of Nod,” and In the summer he did a singing and monologue stunt on ® Vaudeville circuit. His early life had been spent in a superior Eastern pre- paratory school, and his education had been well looked after. He was of strong, athletic puild, a remarkably ffie™ look- img man, and a genera! favorite with all who knew him. ‘Last September young Aldrich entered the Law Department of the University of Chattanooga. His stage experience, polished mianners, handsome face and winning ways soon won him a firm place in: Chattanogga's younger society set. He had not been in the city two months until.hbe was the most talked of university man in the city, and was a leading member -.of the Cotillion and ther social organizations. He was one the first to answer the college foot- H coach's request for materia] for the die donned a suit but ~wimt stay with the scru’s but for a few . days. Before the season was two weeks LP old, his speed, weight and football knowledge had won him a place on the "varsity team and he was soon the most popular man on “e team. His footbal! record’ was brilliant, and more than once he was carried off the gridiron be- fore admiring crowds, the hero of the "varsity, : During this time Aldrich was mak- ing raid progress in his studies, He took an active part in class politics and durigg a campaign which at- tractec interest not only in Chatta- nooga, but throughout the ‘entire State, he was the head of one faction and was finally elected vice-president of hie class. Not only was he popular in football, social and other-circles tn college life, but in‘a shert time he hati Briped considerable stariding with the habitues of the theater and was on the front row at the Bijou, second séat from the right-hand aisle every Monday night. It was his persistency in attending this theater so regularly that caused his matrimonial adven- ture. Forgot His Studies, ‘Barly in the fall the “Fallen by the Warside’ company played a week's engagcmegt in Chattanooga, Aldrich was there as usual on Monday night. Attaches of the theater noted that he Was back at the matinee performance on Tuesday, and some little Surprise manifested when he took a front Tuesday night. By the middle of the week everyone who knew him was wondering what attracted him so Much that he could not miss.a single performance, and it was not until! fre- quentere of the night cafes saw him dining with a trim, stoutly built Woman, evidently “” lady of the gat that they Siessed’ the attrac. on, ‘The next week the com in Nashville, and Aldine. aie classes, The following Saturday he did not show up when the university Piayed the football team from a neighboring city, and it was said he was in Memphis, where the “Fatien by the Wayside” company was due Sunday, He came back to the univer. sity the following week and remained until the Christmas holidays, when he spent 1j days in Cincinnati and Columis: bus, where “Fallen by the Wayside” was being played. He returned ana remained at the university during. the month of January, but left Féb. 1. Ppre-narrangement he met Miss Ridge- Way in St. Louis and they were mar- ries.

a entirely new college romance his =e) PICH SENATOR'S NEPHEW, GRIDIRON HERO, SEEK1NG SAFETY IN DIVORCE suddenly joined him. Did Net Woo a Blonde. Mrs. Aldrich had won her husband's admiration as a brunette, but when she reached Chattanooga to begin house- keeping she was a decided blonde, and to this the law student objected. Mrs. Aldrich, it is said, was equally critical of her. husband's social conquests in the university circle. But they concluded to live together, and Senator Aldrich fitted them up a cozy little apartment on the principal residence street of the city. Everything seemed lovely until one morning about daybreak a policeman was startled to hear a man’s cries for help coming from the fashionabie apartment. He forced entrance to the Aldrich flat, but was informed by the mistress that she and her husband were practicing a new summer vaudeville skit. The policeman asked the Senator's nephew if that was true, and he replied that it was. The next dgy it was rumored around the college that the young student had arrived home after 1 a. m. in fine spir- its and was surprised when he found his wife not in such a good humor. The realness of the quarrel is told in the divorce petition. Aldrich alleges that his blonde actress bride threw him across a bed and attempted to choke him. The husband spent the night at a hotel, and next day Mrs. Aldrich left the city. |

Was Still a Favorite. Aldrich resumed his classes and was as popular as ever. Before the term ended he was editor of the University Weekly, and one of the most popular players on the baseball nine. When the term examinations were held Aldrich failed by half a point and that pre- vented his graduation. June 1 Aldrich departed from Chatta- nooga and has not been here since. His bill for divorce was filed through local attorneys, and he is not expected to return until September or October, when

the university for another term, but his | tn case will be heard. He may enter friends say this is harasy likely. It is

not known where Mona Ridgeway is spending the summer. Those who know her say she will not fight the case. 3 POS! -DISPATCH—aveust 16, 1908. MICE RAID FIELDS, KILL crops Bounty for Dead Rodents Has Lit- tle Effect on Plague. MADRID, Aug. 1..—A lague has invaded the disteiol an i ” the province of Valencia. They have raided the fields and practicaity de. stroyed the entire crops, except rice and oranges, for which they geem to have no taste. The agricultural syndicate announced that it would pay 3 cents a dozen for dead mice, and within a few days 77,676 mice were paid for. This carnage among the rodent tribe seems to have had little effect, however, and the plague is as bad ag ever. SUFFERER OF TWENTY YEARS ° MADE LIKE A NEW WOMAN Mrs. Fannie Startaman of 2133 Eu- genia street, in a sworn testimonial, is quoted as saying: “I was a sick and miserable woman for 20 years, suffering constantly with horrible pains in my back and kidneys, I also had much trouble with my stom- ach. I was iniserable all of the time, “When I came to Phenomenal Kraus’ specialists at 523 Chestnut street, they tokl me the trouble and started treat- ments. They cured me and I am now a new woman. Those dreadful pains are all gone, and I feel better than I ever did in my life.’ “It is the experience of thousands of suffering women who have taken ad- vantage of our free consultation and ex- amination offer,’’ said Phenomena! Kraus. ‘‘We have hundreds of testi- monials like that.’’ Mwm@ New Turkish Minister. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—The Turkish Government has informed the State De- partment that Hussien Kiazim Bey, who now represents Turkey at Bucharest, Roumania, has been appointed Turkish Minister to the United States in place of Mehmed Ali Bey.

SWEETHEAR magma TS YEARS AGO ARE MARRIED a i, FORTY

Youthful Lovers i. Trip Back to Home Town Reunites Pair of on Steamer Pier and Wedding Follows.

—_— LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 15. — More than forty years ago Frank Faulkner of Kingston and Sarah E. Seymour, a young belle of Saugerties, 12 miles north of Kingston, met at 4 country dance, fell in love with each other and became engaged to be married. The bride-to-be was a cousing of Gov. Horatio Seymour of New York State, and Faulkner was a member of one of the leading families of that time in Ulster County. . Faulkner and his flance quarreled and the engagement was broken. They re- fused to become reconciled and each married some one else. Faulkner and his bride went ‘‘West.”’ Sarah Seymour married a man of the same name, al- though not a kinsman, and she and her husband also went “West.” Mrs. Faulkner died and the husband of Sarah Seymour died in another frontier town. Neither Faulkner nor the af- fianeed girl of his youth knew of the other’s bereavement. Move to Same Town, Mrs. Seymour moved to Nebraska, and a few years ago; settled at Schuyler, in that State. After wandering over the West, Faulkner, too, moved to Nebraska, but to another part of the State. Two months ago he moved to Schuyler. Excursions to the East proved attract- ive to the two Schuyler residents, who

pad not visited their native Ulster County since they left it, 40 years ago. They came East the same day, but by different routes. The steamer Hendrick Hudson was pushing her prow through the Hudson River as her pilot steered for Kingston Point, and a large crowd gathered on the lower deck eager to step ashore. Foremost among the crowd was an elderly woman of commanding appear- ance, whose looks belied her years. Beside her stood a stout, well preserved man, upon whose gray hair was a broad sombrero. Meet at Steamer Pier. “Pardon me, but would you mind tell- ing me how I can reach Saugerties?" in- quired the woman of the gray-haired man. “I’m not sure,” he responded. “I used to live here, but !t’s 40 years since I went away.”’ “Forty years,”’ repeated the woman. There was a tremor in her voice that caused the gray-haired man to look sharply at her. “Sarah,” he said, as he held out his hand, and the woman looked at him and sald: “Frank,” * Fifteen minutes before closing time they visited the City Clerk's office and asked Clerk Cummings for a marriage

Seymour, a young belle of Saugerties, 12 miles north of Kingston, met at 4 country dance, fell in love with each other and became engaged to be married. The bride-to-be was a cousing of Gov. Horatio Seymour of New York State, and Faulkner was a member of one of the leading families of that time in Ulster County. Faulkner and his flance quarreled and the engagement was broken. They re- fused to become reconciled and each married some one else. Faulkner and his bride went ‘‘West.” Sarah Seymour married a man of the same name, al- though not a kinsman, and she and her husband also went “West.” Mrs. Faulkner died and the husband of Sarah Seymour died in another frontier town. Neither Faulkner nor the af- fianeed girl of his youth knew of the other’s bereavement. Move to Same Town, Mrs. Seymour moved to Nebraska, and a few years ago, settled at Schuyler, in that State. After wandering over the West, Faulkner, too, moved to Nebraska, months ago he moved to Schuyler. Excursions to the East proved attract- ive to the two Schuyler residents, who pad not visited their native Ulster but to another part of the State. Two ; County since they left it, 40 years ago. They came East the same day, but by different routes. The steamer Hendrick Hudson was pushing her prow through the Hudson River as her pilot steered for Kingston Point, and a large crowd gathered on the lower deck eager to step ashore. Foremost among the crowd was an elderly woman of commanding appear- ance, whose looks belied her years. Beside her stood a stout, well preserved man, upon whose gray hair was a broad sombrero, Meet at Steamer Pier. “Pardon me, but would you mind tell- ing me how I can reach Saugerties?” in- quired the woman of the gray-haired man. “I’m not sure,” he responded. “I used to live here, but it’s 40 years since I went away.”’ “Forty years,"’ repeated the woman. There was a tremor in her voice that caused the gray-haired man to look sharply at her. “Sarah,” he said, as he held out his hand, and the woman looked at him and said: “Frank.” Fifteen minutes before closing time they visited the City Clerk's office and asked Clerk Cummings for a marriage license. return until September or October, when rg SRLS eS er i ne OT ee ee SE ee rl friends say this is haraiy likely.

CALGARY, Northwest Territory, Aug. 15.—Refugees who have reached Calgary threugh ile fire-swept timber lands of the Nerth relate many stories of mar- velous escapes from the flames that wiped out thriving towns in a night, ruined millions of feet of timber and cost scores of lives. None, perhaps, is more thrilling than that of the successful race with death made en a special train by the women and children of the little tewn of Fernie. It is told by Mrs. George 8S. Crossman. who, with her baby and her sister, Miss Maud Holman, has just arrived here. ‘The fire that was raging in the bush had been threatening the town fer sev- eral days,” said Mrs. Crossman. ‘“Fin- ally, one evening, Mr. Crossman came running home te tell uc that we must flee. The town, he said, was practically surrounded by fire, and paris of it were already in flames. “He ordered my sister and me te hasten to a fireproof warehouse, where he thought we would be safe. Miss Hol- man hastily collected a few clothes and I grabbed the baby. Then, under Mr. Crossman’s escort, we hurried to the warehouse. Great brands of fire were fiying though the air. The smoke was stifling. At times we ceuld hear the roaring of the flames fn the brush out- side the tewn. limits. Wet Blankets Put on Roofs. “As we passed through the business section we saw frantic men rushing here and there, throwing goods into the streets. Seme were digging trenches in the gutter that they might bury their records and valuables. Others were spreading wet blankets over the roefs of buildings, threatened every minute by the flying firebrands. : “How we managed to reach the ware- house without having been sct on fire “by the ceaseless shower of sparks, I do not know. But looking back on it now, that seems te have been one of the least of the dangers that confrontéd us before the end of the awful day. “We found hundreds of others, near- ly all women and children, in the ware- house, when ‘we arrived there. A man would run in now and then with his family, see them safely under cover and then rush away to do what he could in checking the advance of the flames or to bury his valuables. “Only a short time after we entered the building we became alarmed for its safety. Great pieces of burning wood and the inoessant shower of sparks were not long in laying a bed ef embers on the roof that threatened te melt the iron and send the whole mass crashing down on our heads. The men, advised of this new danger, made hasty arrangements to escort us te the freight sheds where a train was being made up to carry us to some place of safety. Wemen Soaked With Water, “The sheds were a niass of flames when we started across the tracks. Every woman in the party had been literally drenched with water and the children were wrapped in water-soaked blankets. Thus fortified, we started at a signal and ran for the train, which by this time had been made up and pulled away from the vicinity of the burning buildings. “I never saw such an assembly of peopie as were gathered in the coaches of that train. There were men, women and children of all nationalities, packed almest to suffocation in the cars. We did not dare open the windows or tran- sems, for fear of the showers of sparks, ner could we go outside for fresh air It was stifling. “People sat three and four in a seat. sciatic,| The men were frantic, rushing about, shouting to one another, but all trying to get the train started. Hysterica) wemen, separated from children, were calling in vain fer their little ones. Some, whe had prepared for the flight, were dressed in all their finery, ever, wearing diamonds. Others, like our. selves, whe had thought the tewn safe from danger, Were scarcely wearing enough clothing to cover thelr bodies There were scores of children, hundreds of them it seemed, some of whom were with their parents and seftie of whem hed lost their fathers and: taothers tn the confusien. Greater Danger Ahead. “The train finally pulled out, white the men cheered, When we got into the country we found that we were not escaping danger. Everywhere the bruso was on fire and the heavens seemed te be raining sparks and embers. Smoky was 6o that it was almest impos- stble te see’ out of the windows, In. Side the cars hysterical women and children were running back ana forth, still attempting to find lost ones or be- moaning the fate that they feared awaited them. “We were headed for Hosmer, bur w knew long before we reached the nthe that it must be doomed. When we ar- rived the heart of the place was jn flames. Then we started for Michel, but before we had gone far we learned that the Michel bridge had been burned out. There was but one a) ative to run back toward Fernie andtake our chances of finding some spot here the fire had either burned out i where it had not yet reached, and wait there unh- til the danger was passed. , but

‘fire. All this time the women were growing nearer and nearer to imminent danger. Finally we ran directly into the flames that were sweeping tarotgh the grass along the railroad righ:-of- way. The windows of the cars became hot that it was impossible to hojd me's hand against them. The heat and smoke were stifling. We ran for a mile through this furnace, expecting every minute that the cars would take screaming and praying, running through the aisles In the greatest confusion. “But finally we escaped from the fire belt and ran into a stretch of country where the flames had licked up every- a that would burn, Here we stopped for the night while the men

aboard walked. back to Fernie for pro- visions. They obtained a few cans of condensed milk, providing food for the babies, but the women and older chil- dren went hungry. “The next morning we ran back to Fernie and found that the fire bed burned itself out during the night. Scarcely any of those aboard the train had homes to which to return, and many of them went back to the deso late town to learn of the death of Town Is in Ruins. : R. A. Howson of Calgary, who had been in Fernie for several weeks and who has just returned from there, says that the worst has not yet been told of the catastrophe. Driven by a fierce gale the flames

All that could pe done wag to get fam- ilies together and flee. The railroad companies acted with remarkable promptness jn getting people away. The Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific dia not lose a moment in rushing trains to the rescue and drawing the refugees be- yond the danger zone. The people huddled together on two clearings outside the town and were safe from the fire which threatened life as well as home, until the trains arrived. Mr. Howson says that an ab of food Was 800n brought in — sufferers, and there was no hardship

pe that score. The foreigners acted well and fortunately there was no liquor, every drop of that commod- ity going to feed the flames. He says there is not much doubt about the 60 men and the two women being burned in No, 4 lumber camp and in Fernie it was stated that wom- en were burned. Children are missing but are believed to have escaped the flames. Mr. Howson estimated the fire zone, outside of the mountain for- ests, at 20 miles. Fernie is gone and Sparwood, a lumber camp, is destroyed. When he passed through Michel, it was being kept drenched and men were hting the flames around Cranbroo He

Complaint was made to the State De- partment that there were too many dogs in the town, several of the camp- ers owning as many as three animals. The order to quarantine the town was the result. The place is filled with sum- mer campers. MAKES OWN CIGARS; ARRESTED Tobacco Grower in. Trouble Be- cause He Has No License. » KENDALVILLE, Ind., Aug. 15.—Mi- ton Wolf, an aged farmer near Rome, Gs himself invelved with the Govern- ent because he manufactured cigars ‘without a Government permit, and placed them in bexes used for cigars.

CHILDREN ARE BURNED Party, After Spending Night in Country, Returns to Find Homes in Ruins. ——_-

CALGARY, Northwest Territory, Aug. 15.—Refugees who have reached Calgary threugh the flre-swept timber lands of the North relate many stories of mar- velous escapes from the flames that wiped out thriving towns in a night, ruined millions of feet of timber and cost scores of lives. None, perhaps, is more thrilling than that of the successful race with death made en a special train by the women and children of the little town of Fernie. It is told by Mrs. George 8S. Crossman. who, with her baby and her sister, Miss Maud Holman, has just arrived here. ‘The fire that was raging in the bush had been threatening the town fer sev- eral days,” said Mrs. Crossman. ‘“Fin- ally, one evening, Mr. Crossman came running home te tell uc that we must flee. The town, he said, was practically surrounded by fire, and paris of it were already in flames. ‘Hie ordered my sister and me te hasten to a fireproof warehouse, where he thought we would be safe. Miss Ho)l- man hastily collected a few clothes and I grabbed the baby. Then, under Mr. Crossman’s escort, we hurried to the warehouse. Great brands of fire were fiying though the air. The smoke was pe | oo At times we could hear the rearing of the flames: fn the brush out- side the tewn limits. Wet Blankets Put on Roofs, “Ag we passed through the business section we saw frantic men rushing here and there, throwing goods into = the streets. Seme were digging trenches in the gutter that they might bury their records and valuables. Others were spreading wet blankets over the roefs of buildings, threatened every ninute by the flying firebrands. “How we managed to reach the ware- house without having been sct on fire "by the ceaseless shower of sparks, I do not know. But looking back on it now, that seems te have been one of the least of the dangers ‘that confrontéd us before the end of the awful day. “We found hundreds of others, near- ly all women and children, in the ware- heuse, when ‘we arrived there. A man would run in now and then with his family, see them safely under cover and then rush away to do what he could in checking the advance of the flames or to bury his valuables. “Only a short time after we entered the building we became alarmed for tts safety. Great pieces of burning wood ,and the inoessant shower of sparks were not long in laying a bed ef embers on the roof that threatened te melt the iron and send the whole mass crashing down on our heads. The men, advised of this new danger, made hasty arrangements to escort us te the freight sheds where a train was being made up to carry us to some place of safety. Wemen Soaked With Water, “The sheds were a niass of flames when we started across the tracks. Every woman in the party had been literally drenched with water and the children were wrapped in water-soaked blankets. Thus fortified, we started at fire, growing nearer and nearer to imminent danger. Finally we ran directly into the flames that were sweeping torough the grass along the railroad righ‘-of- way. The windows of the cars became Oo hot that it was impossible to hold me’s hand against them. The heat and smoke were stifling. We ran for a mile through this furnace, expecting every minute that the cars would take All this time the women were screaming and praying, running through the aisles In the greatest confusion. “But finally we escaped from the fire belt and ran into a stretch of country where the flames had licked up every- —< that would burn. Here we Visions. They obtained a few cans of condensed milk, providing food for the babies, but the women and older chil- dren went hungry. “The next morning we ran back to Fernie and found that the fire bad burned itself out during the night. Scarcely any of those aboard the train had homes to which to return, and many of them went back to the deso- late town to learn of the death of Town Is in Ruins. | R. A. Howson of Calgary, who had been in Fernie for several weeks and who has just returned from there, says that the worst has not yet been told of the catastrophe.

It was useless to try. All that could pe done wag to get fam- ilies together and flee. The railroad companies acted with remarkable promptness in getting people away. The Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific did not lose a moment in rushing trains to the rescue and drawing the refugees be- yond the danger zone. The people huddled together on two clearings outside the town and were safe from the fire which threatened life as well as home, until the trains arrived. Mr. Howson says that an ab of food was soon brought in oo sufferers, and there was no hardship

ond that score. The foreigners acted well and fortunately there was no liquor, every drop of that commod- ity going to feed the flames. He says there is not much doubt about the 60 men and the two women being burned in No, 4 lumber camp and in Fernie it was stated that wom- en were burned. Children are missing but are believed to have escaped the flames. Mr. Howson estimated the fire zone, outside of the mount&in for- ests, at 20 miles. Fernie is gone and Sparwood, a lumber camp, is destroyed. When he passed through Michel, it was being kept drenched and men were hting the flames around Cranbroo He

THE SPRINGFIELD RIOT. — | The violent outbreak of race antagonism Springfield, IIl., ‘draws attention once more to a most dangerous evil, which is not sectional but national in the scope of its fury. Gov. Deneen acted with commendable prompt- “tn | ness and energy and the local ‘police seem to Have exerted themselves with courage and intelligence,, but the explosion was so unexpected that the mischief was well under way before the public force could be brought into action. It was one of the worst, if not the worst, racé riots that ever disgraced the country, and the disgrace is the more humiliating in that the outrages were perpetrated under the very shadow of, Lincoln’s tomb. ; A poison of lawless hate that festers in all parts of the body politic, breaking out in the North. as in the South and in all places attended with the same incidents of ferocity, is a matter of general concern and cannot be. got rid of by any super- ficial palliative, but by a remedy which will have general application and purge the social system itself of the hateful thing. : Of course, the offenses which lead to these out- breaks should be punished, but they should be punished by process of law. The courts should be prompt and energetic to facilitate the prosecu- tion of the men, white or black, who tommit or attempt to commit the hideous.crime. But it is evident that this crime is the occasion only, not the cause, of race riot and wholesale killing. The mob goes beyond the solitary offender and makes war on all who wear a black skin, in a spirit of indiscriminate, crazy hate and revenge which confuses the innocent with the guilty and in the blindness of its passion visits cruel torture upon all alike. This spirit is a fuel always prepared and laid, ready to break out in the fire of mob- ocracy whenever the torch is applied in the act of some brutish negro who is probably the object iof as much fear and aversion among his own people as among the whites. To punish him is the duty of the police and the courts. But such punishment. does. not seem to reach the seat of the disease. which is rooted in a race antipathy, any means as yet employed. It is a difficult problem, a problem which can be solved only by the exercise of intelligence, judicial, temperate and absolutely free from pre- judice. Men of all sections, of all professions, of all ways of thinking, owe it to their country to give their best thought to the monstrous evil and help to extirpate it. once for all. It will not be easy to do, since passion and prejudice are be- yond the reach of reason, but we can at least 60 strengthen the force of public sentiment and the | Organs of public authority that the prejudiced and passionate will‘not venture to make an occasion- al crime the pretext for insane savagery. There is no politics in the question. Every citizen who cares for the health and welfare of his country ig equally interested to find acure for the evil which shall be a cure and not a mere temporary local relief. ~~ SS Mr. Bryan has learned to accept his notifications of nomination as a matter of course. To be sure, there is nothing so very sudden about them, no element of shock or surprise. But what would he say to an election? = =" wv — = THE CONSTITUTIONAL. AMENDMENTS. One of the best educational devices ever known in political canvassing is the 30-page pamphlet containing a discussion of the constitutional amendments to be voted on in November. The pamphlet is. published under the auspices of a publicity committee composed of Gov. Folk, Attorney-General Hadley, Judge W. M. Williams, F. N. Judson and other citizens well known throughout the State. Following each amendment are arguments for and against its adoption. The case on each side is presented fairly, clearly and tersely, so that the voter will have abundant information on the sub- ject when he goes to the polls. Constitutional amendments are apt to be neg- lected, unfortunately, but the voter will have no excuse for neglect with this pamphlet in his hand. Arrangements have been made to distribute it through the State, the aim being to reach every man who has a vote. It is a good work. Ln hi hi i ie The “Optimistic League” of Montclair, N.

The patent on this plan*was taken out'by the boy who whistles as he passes a graveyard at night... | he - tube. — | THE STRIKING VALUE OF PURE MILK. “Milk Pasteurization an Economic and Social Duty” is the subject of a recent address by Nathan Straus before the students of politica) economy in the University of Heidelberg. In this he presented some striking compilations of facts, accompanied by forceful generalizations. ‘Milk that favors the growth of noxious bacteria he shows to be the chief cause of the infant death rate, and he points to statistics indicating that 150,000 babies die every year in the United ‘| Btates from causes related to impure milk, which is a special breeder of tuberculosis. He quotes Von Behring: “The milk fed to infants is the chief source of -" “The fatal effects, then, are not measured by infant mortality alone. There are often more bacteria in a drop of milk than Ina drop of sewage, he declares; and, “I, for my part, look forward to a time when the whole milk supply will be. pasteurized free of charge by the town, just as at present the town undertakes the supply of gas, water, etc,” “Ryery modern economist,” says Mr. Straus, “no matter what view he might take of the pop- ulation question, would admit the obligation of society to preserve the lives of-all its members. [Once born into the world in ® clvilined state, the | wicked and, it is to be feared, uncontrollable by - | morsel of humanity has established his right to existence.” “Not to mention any higher motives, the mere desire to prevent economic waste suggests that not « life should be needlessly lost. * * ° Upon every consideration, ‘public and private, ethical as well as economic, the death of a little baby is a calamity*to be avoided at all costs.” . Saving the babies by the pasteurization of milk, which work’ was introduced in St. Louis under Mr. Straus’ direction and has been car- ried on by the public through the agency of the Pure Milk Commission and the Post-Dispatch, has been attended by the best of results. The infant death rate has been cut down by great percent- ages, and the work hag possessed the value of a wide-reaching example as well as a direct and immediate saving of life. It is demonstrated that pure milk will save the lives of infants, and the demonstration of the value of absolutely pure milk must have its effect upon the community at large, upon Government and upon commerce. An expedition is setting out from The Hague to quell Castro. Castro may never be a world- beater, but it is something of an achievement to have disturbed the peace of The Hague. i i = DOOM OF THE STAND-PATTER. The movement in the West which is retiring certain Republican United States senators Is in- spired more by honesty than by radicalism and more by true conservatism than by any other sentiment whatever. ¢ There is a Western radicalism, not obtrusive at this time, which is partial to violence in poll- tics and legislation, but the sentiment now mak- ing itself felt in the Senate @s another origin. It is in the main a protest. against that species of counterfeit conservatism which, blind and deaf so far as great public. wrongs are concerned, can only parrot the Hannaism, “Let well enongh alone.” The West is comparatively new and it is natu- rally progressive. Its interests are largely agri- cultural. Circumstances have made it Republi- can in its political affiliations, but there are Republican doctrines which it holds lightly and would be glad to reject if the opportunity pre- sented itself. While the West has voted for the stand-patters more than once, it has done so only as a choice of evils. Supporting the policy at the polls, it has marked its own too-fervent stand-patters for dis- cipline or destruction. If there had been a sound and vigorous opposition party in that section Republican senatorial heads would long ago have begun to fall. Instead of displacing one Repub- lican with another, real Democrats would have been chosen. Thus opposition would have ad- monished those in power and given eloquent ex- pression to the popular will. It is a mistake to describe the existing aver- sion to the stand-patters as radicalism. The stand-patters made a sordid plea. In effect they told Americans who had a few coins in their pockets and knew where their next dinner was to be had that they must thank God that power and privilege had spared them so much. Under that false cry wrongs.almost unimaginable were inflicted upon the people. In response to that false cry came the frenzied financiers, the insur- ance looters, the railroad exploiters, the eager plutocrats of the tariff and the hordes of jingoes and spendthrifts. Like other sections of the country the West has not relished the spectacle. It has not ap- proved of the zeal with which its own representa- tives have supported the new regime. In stand- ing pat once, or even twice, it did not intend to surrender unconditionally t} monopoly and greed. The Republican senators who willingly lent them- selves to the degrading service of selfish interests have only themselves to-blame for the disfavor which has been visited upon them. — = = Mr. Taft’s religious beliefs are up again. An Indiana man is quoted as saying that the people of the West do not approve Unitarianism. They prefer Methodism or Presbyterianism, and will be inclined to vote against the Republican on that ground. He is either a fanatic or a fool. There are not a dozen persons in the West who care what a candidate’s religious beliefs are, so long as he is a sane, honest, patriotic man. Poli- tics and religion can’t be made to mix in this country. = Mi a CONQUERING YANKEE NOTIONS. Mr. D. P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Co., who has just returned from Europe, reports a very friendly feeling in the old world for America and American ideas. “In every considerable city,” says Mr. Kings- ley, “there are handsome plants offering, suc- cessfully, American shoes, typewriters, plows, reapers and.all kinds of agricultural implements, American sewing machines and American life in- surance.” It is an interesting development. Until the close of the Civil War American ideas were the objects of aversion and animosity in Europe. They excited frank disgust among the better classes of society, who shuddered at the thought of the possible influence of such ideas upon the masses, the agricultural laborers, the city workingmen and the unprivileged classes generally. American ideas were to them what socialistic, anarchistic or Mormon ideas are today—destructive, revolution- ary, ruinous to all the fruitful ideals of humanity. It is noticeable that the American {deas which find favor among the Buropeans of the twentieth century are all economic ideas. The fright pro- duced by the growth of the great republic was due to the political ideas of Washington, Jeffer- son and Jackson. But these appear to be forgot- ten or neglected. Perhaps it is because they have already profoundly modified European insti- tutions and are found to be, on the whole, bene- ficial even *to ,the privileged classes themselves. Be that as it may, the people of Europe have discovered that American economic ideas—what used to be called Yankee notions—are useful ideas, some of them indispensable to all emg and all f them helpful to an orderly, peaceful progress, bein oet nn ideas of American political democ- racy are ever accepted by the old world or not, the ideas of our economic democracy find a warm welcome and will probably be domesticated and naturalized. It is a quite natural manifestation of human nature. Political ideas are largely speculative; they do not become convincing until they prove their worth by long trial. But an economic } ‘ 0 ea Bt eee ee: TO THE WHITE HOUSE, wee ae is another matter; it pays. And any intelligent man can see at a glance that it pays. Public interest nowadays is economic, not po- litical. The problems of political democracy are pretty well solved, the task of the twentieth cen- tury being to apply the solutions to the new eco- nomic conditions. In this task the people of Europe will have a share larger than was theirs in the political problems of the nineteenth cen- tury. — a The straw hat is passing into the sere and yel- low stage, but the straw vote is just budding and promises a heavy crop. = = = rr THE FARMERS’ STORE, Secretary .of Agriculture Wilson says that the farmers have added $53,000,000,000 to the wealth of this country during the past nine years. All the railroads in the United States are worth no more than two years’ agricultural produce. But this enormous economic interest, bigger than steel, oil or sugar, has no voice above a plaintive whisper now and then in the political policy of the National Government. it. When the farmers wake up to the power they have in their fields and bins, and know it, there will be a great searching of hearts among the politicians who, for so many years, have been busy producing privileges for monopoly seekers. Politics is most responsive to an economic inter- est which knows how to make itself heard and felt. Li Lr — ee FOLK IS STRONG IN HIS ENEMIES. From the Springfield Daily Leader. On the hst of Folk haters will be found the mea who fought the maximum freight rate bil, the two- cent-a-mile bill, the public utilities bill, the twenty or thirty other bills designed to regulate, control and check corporate privilege. It is impossible to specify any class of privileged interests the membership of which is not unanimously hostile to Folk. But his strength lies in the enemies which he has made. There is no political parasite, known or generally suspected, in the whole State of Missouri, who is not out with his hammer against the Governor, but that sort of enmity will not hurt next November. The lobbyists are against him, also former State senators and representatives controlled by the lobby in their official days. Wherever in any place in the State two or three grafters are gathered together in a community of selfish, unpatriotic interest, there you will locate an anti-Folk headquarters. The bitterest opponefits of Folk are men whose existence and im- portance is dve to their success in preying upon the community in large ways or small. There is not an interest in the State of Missour] that ig engaged in controlling legislation to the end that it shall not pro- tect the people's rights that isn’t oppoged to Folk in his race for Senator. All the vermin of boodle that Folk uncoverea when he exposed their place of shelter are still venomous against the Governor, but it would be a mistake to suppose that all the foes of Folk are ‘‘rough necks” or “low brows.” Some of the flercest Folk-phobes are nice people—even nice women, whose set in St. Louis has been smirched by some of his exposures, or whose allowance is shorter because Folk cut off some graft or profits of their lords. Every influence in the State that can be regarded ag inimical! to the public welfare is lined up against Folk, But the tens of thousands of voters who stand for the other side of the picture are for him. The anti-Folkites are not so numerous as the people who belfeve that Folk has done his duty and executed the laws. — 300,000,000,000 BEES AT WORK. From the Technical World. . Three hundred billion bees made enough honey last year to fill a train of cars long enough to reach from New York to Buffalo. At the low wholesale rate of 19 cents a pound it Was worth $25,000,000, and if the 700,000 bee keepers of the country had worked as in- dustriously and skilfully as did the bees the weight of the output would have been thre times as great and the value $75,000,000. Not only did the little workers contribute that vast supply of a pure and delicious food product to the nation, but as they made it they treated it antixep- tically with formic acid, thus preventing impurities or decay. In one year the beehives sent to market a product worth nearly as much as the barley ¢rop. three times as much as the buckwheat crop, $6,000,000 greater than the rye crop and nearly $9.000,000 greater than the rice crep. All of the rice and buckwheat grown on an aggregated area of 2.1261-3 square miles did not reach to the value of the honey by $151,289. A MONUMENT TO THE LOWLY. From the Frankfurter Zeitung. Ernesto Nathan, the Byndic of Rome, receftly had erected at his own expense a marble shaft in the potter's field of the Roman cemetery. The ituserip- tion states that the city, mindful of its obligation to | being over have fallen into nameless graves, ~ _— No man has power until he knows that he has} I could not love you, dear, so much Loved I not tenderly to dwell Upon the way that we have come With loving one another well, And making each departed day A flower blowing by the way.

A flowered field through which we two Came hand in hand beneath such skies As never bend for mortals save They cover Love's own Paradise, And where each treasured hour became A hill with marigold aflame. I could not love you, dear; so much Loved I not tenderly to dwell Upon the way that we have come With loving one another well, And making what has been so sweet That what will be we long to meet. THE IMPOSTERS. A brisk fellow in white flannels approached the guard stationed on the main approach to Sagamore Hill. “I would Iike to see the President,’ he said. The guard sized him up. t “Got an engagement with him?” he asked. “No—not exactly an engagement, but I know hé will be glad to see me.” “On what business?” ‘‘T have hunted lions in Africa.” The guard bowed, and the visitor passed. About ten minutes later another one appeared. “Mr. Roosevelt around?’ he asked. He was. Could he see him? He could if he had an engagement; otherwise, he could not. “But I think he will want to see me,” “On what score?” ‘“T'm an authority on gorilla hunting.” The guard bowed again, and the applicant was ad- mitted. A half bour passed before a third arrival. He, too, wanted to see the President. The guard went to the meat of the matter at once. “tion hunter?” he asked. “No; my speciality is giraffes.” He got in. The fourth man knew about the hippopotamus hunting. “That goes,”” said the guard. The fifth had hunted elephants with Menelik. He passed. A party of three came up. ‘What business?” asked the keeper of the road. “One lion hunter, and two experts on springbok coursing.” The guard gave them double bows. Within the next hour he passed two authors of books on hunting fn Africa, one rhinoceros hunter, one man who had lived in Uganda 20 years, and seven others with more or less experience with big game on the Dark Continent. fie had lehted a cigarette, and was wondering how many African hunters there are, when he heard a twig crack in the near-by bushes.

Upon every hand I noted substantial evidences of the candidate's travels. Souvenirs from seemingly every corner of the world adorn the walls and mantel shelves of his home. Mr. Bryan led the way to his study, which is in a basement room at the front of the house. The trap- pings of this room eloquently exemplify Mr. Bryan's unflagging industry. In its center is a large table lit- tered with telegrams, letters, clippings and papers of eery conceivable nature. There are /two telephones upon a dsk in the corner of the study and two type- writers upon another pair of desks. Along the east wall of the room is a case filled with reference books, historical works, biographies of famous orators and governmental treatises. Adopting the hypothesis that a man’s home and his > eee reflect unerringly the man, I have gone some. . ‘=, What elaborately into these important details, and I am of the opinion that Mr. Bryan’s home and books a ets reflect Mr. Bryan.

There is real honor in victory, he believes, when a man is made to know that a lusty spear has impinged heavily upon his de- fensive shield.

Mle Suggested the Label, “HOW MANY WILL HE CARRY IN NOVEMBER?” the campaign portrait of the tenacious candidate, looks out from hearly every window in Lincoln. Beginning at the little wooden shelter, a comcrete walk runs parallel with the driveway to the summit of the hill. Here there is a tent, with camp stools, canvas couch, table, copy paper and telephone. A shingle nailed against the tent pole advertises the fact that beneath this canvas canopy none but news- paper representatives may foregather. Directly from this tent and built between the broad reaches of the famous Bryan alfalfa field is a road leading to Fairview proper. At the head of the road a bank of steps flanked by a pair of bideous, grin- ning, bronze Japanese lions gizes into the Bryan home, I had my first glimpse of Mr. Bryan standing at World’s “MAP OF BRYANISM,” for Which

neath which my name, as cartoonist, was frequently signed during the ante-convention skirmishes. Mr. Bryan was not slow to speak of a famous prairie schooner with its ‘‘Pike’s Peak or Bust’ sign, which, with many misadventures, slowly wended its way across the barren plains to its ultimate goal. ‘And now,” said the great Commoner, with a merry twinkling eye, “I want you to print me a map with all the states white that voted for me in the conven- tion; and beneath it, for a caption, print—How many will he carry in November?” So upon this page is the new ‘‘Map of Bryanism,’’ amended in accordance with Mr. Bryan’s suggestion. In reply to an inquiry’as to Mr. Bryan’s preferences in the matter of literature, he said to me that he most enjoyed constructive history, governmental treatises and biography. His multiple duties allow him but scant time for lighter reading, he told me. When he does find time to indulge himself in works of fiction, however, he turns to the immortal char- The Story of the Tower of Pisa. acter builder, Charles Dickens. is Mr. Bryan's favorite novel.

Its name is admirably chosen. It is, indeed, a fair view from the red and white house roofed with green, Verdant hills and valleys sweep away from it to the far horizon at every point of the compass. Fields of alfalfa and grain are marked out in great squares as far as the eye can reach. Itis a beautiful corner of the world that the great Commoner has chosen for the site of his home. Upén the afternoon following my visit to Fair- view I met Mr. Bryan at the Burlington station in Lincoln. I had been invited to join his party there Some of the Newspaper Correspondents.

and board a train for Chicago, where the chairman . of the National Democratic Committee was to be se- lected. I was glad of the opportunity to observe a presidential candidate in action, the first I bad ever enjoyed. At every step of the train delegates headed by the Mayor or oldest citizen were. waiting at the track’s side to greet Mr. Bryan. There would be much hand- shaking, a few words from the candidate, a rousing salvo of cheers from the populace, which could be faintly heard even after the iron wheels of the flying train had obliterated the friendly gatherings in a cloud of gray dust. In the smoking compartment of the car upon which the candidate was riding, a busy corps of newspa- per representatives were writing down his brief speeches, to be filed later at some telegraph station . along the line of travel. The tremendous power of the telegraph and the press was here most forcl- bly exemplified. Picture one of these sparse gath- erings of farmers and village shopkeepers, ac- companied in most in- stances by wives and chil- dren. Imagine a bonfire at the side of the rail- road, horses with spring wagons and buckboards made fast to the fences along the right-of-way, and a country ~ village band, with each sweating player blowing out ‘Hail to the Chief’ (in a mul- tiplicity of discordant keys). Mr. Bryan talking quietly to these simple folk, through the medium of the telegraph and the press, was thundering over the breadth of the great United States. At Omaha, where we stopped 20 minites there was 4 great crowd at the station to greet Mr. Bryan. Through a pleasant coincidence Mr. John Sharp Wil- liams of Mississippi was there to shake Mr. Bryan's hand and introduce the Democratic nominee to the citizens of Omaha. It was an enthusiastic gathering that listened attentively to the two men addressing them from. the vanage-point of a baggage truck. There was another speech at Hastings and one at Red Oak. At Creston the newspaper men announced to Mr. Bryan that they had sent despatches to their papers putting him officially to bed. The speech- making being thus ended for that night, Mr. Bryan joined us in the smoking compartment for a while, trading stories and humorous campaign experiences there with the knights of the pencil. One story of Mr. Bryan's, which he first told at the last Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, is well worth repeating here.

: os nian r , ‘Siete, tam pn, RED At the Gate of “Fairview.” “There was a hobo,” said Mr. Bryan, “who, seek a place to rest, looked with covetous eyes at @ BE liantly lighted doorway at the top of a stairway kh ing to the sidewalk. yas “Mounting the steps slowly, he rapped timidly poe the door. ‘What is it, sir?’ queried the he looked out at the tired hobo. ‘If you don’t | I'd like to come in and tarry awhile,’ quoth the hobe, “Nothing doing,’ said the doorkeeper, engnat < cally; and the door that slammed violently in His face set a large exclamation point after the ‘doing? “Bo the disappointed hobo walked wearily around Ba @ corner and took unto himself a few di inks.

Upon Mr. Bryan's assurance that he hadn't heard the tale of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, I made him acquainted with the story, _ “The tale goes like this,” I said to Mr. Bree =” “You were standing beneath the wonderful leanian — tower. Looking upward and observing the hu ° mai of the structure bending over you, you star 4 . Smilingly the guide assured you that there ves fi danger of its falling, adding the info fon .the om Americans knew this. ‘I know it, | said; ‘but, you see, I'm so accustomed te when I'm at home that it has grown to be & with me.’ ” Mr. Bryan enjoyed a hearty laugh at his own pense. | I valued the privilege of seeing Mr. Bryan et bis home, where everything smacks of a pastoral caim, i ee: + My observations led me to the conclusion that he agges - his chief characteristics appear to be % honesty and integrity of purpose. His personality is most engaging, and altogether I am very mush pleased to have had the opportunity of knowing pat~ sonally the man who for the third time. is the presi dential candidate of the Democratic party.

BOONVILLE, Ind., Aug. 15.—When Capt. Wilson H. Daniel of Jasper, Ind, now nearly % had been appointed to notify Taft and ' Bryan of their respective nominations as presidential candidates, he remarked: ‘‘Well, well, time certainly does change . everything, and yet with what tenacity do people, parties and nations hold on to their old-time customs. “Now Taft and Bryan,’ he continued, “never knew any better than they did the day after their nominations that each was the candidate of his respective party. In fact, each knew of his nomi- nation the moment it was made. Yet a committee consisting of one delegate from each State went to the home of _@ach of these candidates and there of- Gidlally notified each one of his re spective nomination. “Great speeches were made b? mem- bers of the committee and by each can- didate, and thousands of dollars were spent by members of each party on each notification day. And the event, instead , ef being truly a notification, was in ; fact the real opening o fthe campaign, : when each of the White House aspirants had an opportunity of sounding the key- j mote of his respéctive campaign. Now {it used to be that a notification meant ' just that, and nothing more.” Recalls Taylor's Nomination. The Captain then recalled his experi- ence of 1848, when he was present and . witnessed the notification of Gen. Zach- _ ary Taylor ‘ter part of -pecond day of July, 184, in partioulat,4 When we broke ¢amp und I, as pilet;} or wheelsman, o@ board the Yazoo, be | gan steering Gen.

Before landing I had been told by the captain that we would land at Taylor’s planta- tion, just below the town of Rodney, in the State of Mississippi, to take on wood.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.—Without swing a thought to her own danger, 7-year-old Adeline Delisi entered the blazing cellar of her home at 903 South Ninth street to rescue her father, Domi- nic Delisi, who had been nearly over- come by the smoke and flames. Her face scorched by the flames ag she went down the steps leading to the cellar, the girl continued on her mis- her father and succeeded in dragging him up the stairs to safety. Leaving his wife and Aaughter at the breakfast table, Delisi, who ¢éonducts an oyster restaurant, went into the cel- lar to endeavor to locate the cause of a smell of gas he had noticed during the night. Reaching the basement, he struck a match to light his way. In an instant there was an explosion and a sheet of flame filled the cellar. Delist dropped to the floor, his face and hands naeiy burned. Little Adeline saw the flames mest up the cellarway down which her fa- ther had disappeared and without hesi- tation dashed down the steps after him. Once she had found her father, who was fortunately lying near the steps, it was heavy work for the child to drag him into the current of fresh atr which came down the cellarway from above: Par- tially revived, Delisi was able to stag- ger up the stairs with his daughter's help. When she had gotten her father to safety, the child fainted from the ef- fects of the smoxe she had inhaled and the strain she had undergone. But for his daughter’s help, Delisi believes he would have been burned to death. WHISKY HURT MORE THAN ACID Smart of It Saves Man From Car- bolic Poisoning.

Having obtained a confession from Ben Bennett the detectives hurried to his heme, only to find that his mother had Gisappeared. Learning, however, that she had been seen to deposit a peckage fm a United States mail box. the police ebtained permission to have the box ed, and in it found a package con- ning the missing gems. The jewelry was stolen from Mrs. E.

Shortly after he had taken his pellet, Jem- iskéy was overtaken by cramps and a change of heart. He found his love of life outweighted his infatuation for the damsel, and rushed to the Police Station, where he announced that he was siowly dying from poison and asked that a doctor be summoned. Jemiskey speaks only broken Eng- lish at best. When it dawned upon the desk sergeant that the man be- lieved he had taken poison he tele- phoned to the office of the police sur- geon, but could not get him, Before proved that it: became apparent hts greatest suffering was from fright. Jemiskey was a victim of;a joke. He and Carl Kolowitch both loved the same girl.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 16.— John Winter McMahon of this city, who has probably faced death more than any human being in the country, is now in the local hospital and has passed the danger point in chis latest near-death | adventure. A few days ago he fell | into a vat of scalding water in a lum- ber yard. Ten times has this 35-year- old man stared death in the face—four times hope for his recovery was aban- doned by the physicians. | ACAIN—THAT CREAT $1 DOWN SALE AT THE KELLY STO -can be used on both sides. —the sale that offers you p Stoves, Ranges—for a sing ractically anything in the entire stock — — Furniture, Carpets, le dollar in cash and the balance on the easiest credit terms . ‘ offered by any house in St. Louis!

As a result of these experiences Mc- aoe Mahon’s friends have dubbed him “Cat,” but they are now looking for a new nickname to apply in a auitable fash- ion. In his own words, “I have any of the cat family beat a whole city block when it comes to this life propo- sition. The best cat that ever lived can boast of no more than nine new starts ‘n life, and I have already been on the **dead’ line 10 times, and in a month’s time I will show ’em that I am the livest ‘dead one’ they ever saw. You see, they can’t keep a good man down.”’ Considerably Disfigured. With this he sank on his pillow and allowed the nurse to rebandage his hips |where a few days before skin had been grafted to take the place of that which had been scalded away. ‘The visible results of the 11 times that McMahon has been at death’s door so far as his anatomy is concerned, are: The loss of the left eye, the loss of half of an tar, a little fi-~*tr and the right foot. An artificial .imb has re- moved the difficulty of the loss of the latter organ, and he is a firm believer in the expression that ‘“‘life is dear at any expense.”’ The life history of McMahon is truly a wonderful one. The guardian ange! which seems to have hovered so closely throughout his life, began its work very early. When a boy of 7, with two other little fellows, neither of whom could swim, he Went out to the creek for a plunge one July morning. The current swept John into deep water. “Twice he had gone down as bis little companions called for help, when he blindly grabbed at a2 floating rail.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened in the way of accidents until three years iater. In attempting to hop onto a train, Mc- Mehon, then 10 years old, missed his footing and slipped under the wheels. His right foot was cut off just above the ankle. The mishap was not observed by members of the crew. Unconscious from loss of blood, he was picked up for dead a few minutes later and car- ried into a nearby house. The aged mis- tress of the house tore a bandage from her skirt and stopped the flow of blood by drawing it taut above the knee. For several days the boy was more dead than alive dnd it seemed the old wom- an’s prompt action would be in vain. While é#till on crutches, fortune again frowned and smiled on McMahon. He was watching the construction of a stone building when the clamps slipped on a large stone being lifted by a der- rick. The huge weight fell toward his head.

BUTLER WOULD SUE RICH MAN ON S500 LOAN : Claim That He Has Been Un- able to Collect Money Stirs Newport Society.

MAKES LETTERS PUBLIC Young’ Man Admits Debt in Notes Employe Received From Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.—Fred- erick Knight, the butler of Edward C. Knight Jr., of Newport and Phila- Geiphia, who says he is about to sue George T. Newhall, a son of Charles A. Newhalb‘of the famous Phila- Geiphia family of cricketers, for $500, which he alleges he lent to young Newhall at Newport last summer, has given out.a number of letters which he says he received from Newhall and hig father. The Newport colony and society folk here have been amazed by the unusual developments in the case. | It appears from the bufler’s story , that while young Newhall was a guest @t the Knight villa in Newport last summer the butler lent him $300 with . which to pay a gambling debt. Later | young Newhall borrowed another $200 ‘ Which the butler was obliged to bor- row himself in order to give to young Newhall. Subsequently the butler made an ef- , fort to collect from the elder New- ball, but he says he was told that he was nothing but a servant, and that he had no claim. * Momey Used to Pay Auto Bill, The butler says that afterward he jearned that young Newhall did not ‘Want the money to settle a gambling debt, but that he used it to pay a bill for automobile hire, which, had it not been paid, would have led to his ar- rest. ” The first of the letters exhibited by the butler bears a date of a day in August last summer. It is from ‘young Newhall to the butler, and is as follows: '. “Frederick: I think that you un- derstand that I feel very badly at hav- fag to turn you into a.banker, but it tould not be helped, | “Have arranged everything this a. m I am leaving tomorrow for the er, and next morning for New York. Now what I want to know is if you Can get me $200 more this morning some time, and I will send you tho ll $600 Thursday morning from the er. Iam lunching with Mrs, Knight today. Send me a line by bearer and you can keep the money for me until I see you. “T cannot tell you how much I ap- ' preciate what you have done for me, and I think that you know that I am not in the habit of asking any one for @ penny, but under the circumstances “t was necessary to try to get hold of me other $200, and it will straighten ‘Te out here and you shall have the . $00. Send answer by boy who Rwaits. G. T. NEWHALL.” Creditor Gets More Promises, | Beveral days later the butler got this note, he says: — “Frederick: I have cut out the Grinking, not for a day, but for a)- _ Ways. Am leaving tonight and will #end you the money by telegraph from ~Pbiladelphia Sunday night.” _' Bubsequently the butler got these two telegrams from Philade!phia: “Will wire you full amount tomor- tow afternoon positively. Please tell Berger (the Casino man) I will wire his also then. All this trouble was _ Saused by mistake, which letter wil! _ explain. Many thafiks.” i “PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28. _ +» “fust arrived here. Will arrange at | @mce to have amount wired to you. _ _@annot tell you ~ how badly I feel . about this long delay. ar “G. T. NEWHALL.” ; Some days after this the butler says he got a letter from the law firm of Kinder & McNeal, who said that Charles A. Newhall, father of the borrower, Wished them to find out the particulars @f the alleged indebtedness. After some Months had gone by without anything - faving been done, the butler says he _@ent his wife to see the parents of you Newhall. They asked for copies @f the letters, which the butler says om gave them. = An December the butler salys his wife | se * letter from young New- fa ; came to hand, and as able to send you some- ij ~z 53 rift

HELD: IS ACCUSED OF MURDERS Companion Says Daunisek Confessed to Killing Nor- mandy Woman.

Charles Daunisch, a quarry worker, 32 years old, is held at the Soulard Street Police Station as a suspect in two mur- der mysteries. He is accused by a for- mer companion of having confessed to the murder of Mrs. Henrietta Laumann at Normandy, Mo., in September, 1903, and on circumstantial evidence he is suspected of having killed Julius Kuhl- man, a saloon keeper at Spanish Lake, Mo. Both tragedies occurred within two weeks. Mrs. Laumann, the wife of a prominent citizen of Normandy, was robbed and then shot to death at night while she was on her way from a car on the Florisant division of the Suburban Rail- way to her home, about three-quarters of a mile away. Negro, Fearing Mob, Hanged Himael., A negro, arrested on suspicion, hanged himself when a crowd, attracted by a fire, gathered about the Jail in Clayton. No further arrests were made. Kuhiman, the saloon keeper, was shot and killed in his home at night. The mystery of his death was never cleared. Daunisch’s arrest was the result of statements made to Lieut. Singleton of the Third District by Max Bettag, who says he has no home, while he was locked up on @ charge of drunkenness. When Bettag was arrested Monday night he volunteered the information that he could clear up a murder mystery that had never been solved by the po- lice. He made a full statement the fol- lowing morning. According to Bettag’s stery he and Daunisch were together in Falling Springs, near East St. Louis, two days after Mrs. Laumann was killed. Daun- isch’s face and hands were scratched and when he was asked for an expla- nation, Bettag declares, he and a com- panion had killed Mrs. Laumann, after taking her jewelry. Henry Recker, a Spanish Lake farm- er, told Lieut. Singleton Saturday that he had been with Daunisch in Spanish Lake the night before Kuhiman was murdered. He said Kuhlman had re- fused to sell drinks to Daunisch on cred- it, a nd- declared that Daunisch had threatened to “get even.”’ He said Daunisch disappeared from Spanish Lake after the tragedy. The prisoner denies that he confessed to Bettag, and fays he never knew Recker. Henry Mueller, a nephew of the slain saloonkeeper, will endeavor to identify the suspect Monday. He was an eyewitness of the murder. Daunisch was arrested at a quarry of the Third District. They say he will be turned over to the St. Louls County au- thorities. COOK FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL Old Steamboat Employe Had Col- lection of Knives.

PWS “WONDER why IM S0 wor! “ POLICE BOARD S STILL AFTER POLLS FRAUD special Session to Be Held Tomorrow in Case Against Bluecoats.

The Police Board will hold a special meeting tomorrow to consider further charges against Patrolmen William Cullen, Thomas O'Fallon and Robert Allen, accused of allowing repeating at the recent primary election and failing to protect judges, The hearing commenced at the regular meeting Friday afternoon. John H. Dinkleman, Republican judge at the Fourth Ward polling place at 817 North Tenth street, told the Board that there were 114 votes cast there, and that he did not know more than twenty of the voters, though he had lived in the neighborhood 50 years. The officers, tn addition to being charged with allowing repeating, are Charged with neglecting to protect Re- publican Judge Manuel Reynolds. Challehiged Vote, Was Attacked. Reynolds told the Board how a man had tried to vote the name of Dr. R. D. Bartiess, 917 North .enth street, and he had challenged the vote. The man, he said, went out and came back later. For challenging thus vote and others Reynolds said he was attacked and not protected by the police. Dinkleman did not think affairs were as bad as Rey- noldg told them, but Albert W. Robin- son, 920 North Tenth street, corrobor- ated every thing Reynolds said. President Gray wanted to know if Reynolds called on the police for aid. Commissioner Bland interposed that the police were there to protect the judges and clerks and stop illegal voting, whether anyone called for help or not. LITTLE LOST GIRL GOING “BYE-BYE” WITH PENNY IN HAND I$ FOUND CRYING Wanders Hours in Dark Streets Before Mrs. Duncan Restores Her to Mother. After wandering through the streets for several hours with a penny clutch- ed tightly in her hand, a little girl was found Friday night by Mrs. J. E. Dun- can of 227 Stoddard street. The %-year-old .girl started for a grocery. When she found herself in a strange neighborhood she was not surprised, for she had gone “bye-bye” with her mother many times. But when darkness fell she began to long for her snug little bed and her mother’s kiss, and she cried with fright. Mrs. Duncan heard her crying and took her in her arms. “I want mother,” cried the weary child. Mrs. Duncan started with her to find the mether. She soon met the child's mother. The overjoyed mother rushed away

You win. Yesterday WAS the hottest day of the year. If you were born in 1908, it was the hottest day you ever saw, Up to the time the mercury in your porch thermometer crawled over the transom at 3 p. m. Saturday, there was a certain day in June that stood out proudly as the warmest proposition on the weather records. It achieved 92.2 degrees in the shade, wherever that is. That Was the day when the man who runs the weather from his office in the Chemical Building took off his collar, tied a handkerchief around his neck and telephoned the Weather Bird that June 21 would be the longest day in the year because it also was the hottest. Yesterday made June 21 look like % hours in the Artic circle when there is an eclipse of the sun. It was too hot for the Bureau to figure the fractions. In round numbers, 9% degrees was the record at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That’s four degrees hetter than the hottest day. Weather Man Really Cool, Here are the official thermometer readings as compiled in the weather bureau’s office, where it was as cool Saturday as it was hot anywhere else: Hour. Degrees. 12 (noon) Nightfall brought no relief. About 6 p. m., when the mercury knocked off the day, humidity came on the job. It proceeded to cook up a night that has had no parallel in St. Louis sum- mer. Although there were few prostrations reported to the police, St. Louisans suf- fered all night. In the congested dis- tricts hundreds found sleeping places in the parks. Mattresses were carried to porches and roofs, and every spot where there was the slightest breeze was occupied. ) Heat Sufferer Fell From Laddcr. Albert Cheeny, 39 years old, of 3630 College avenue, was one of the first victims. He was painting a trolley pole at Arsenal street and Sublette ave- nue in the afternoon, when he was overcome by the heat and fell 30 feet from a ladder. In addition to sun- stroke he received severe bruises and possibly internal injuries. He was sent to the City Hospital. Martin Gunther, 45 years old, 4257 Clay- late in the afternoon. He, too, was sent to the City Hospital. He may not re- cover, the physicians say. Cincinnati's Maximum 92 Degrees, Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 15.—In spite of the high temperature here today there were no reports of heat prostra- tion, owing to the lack of humidity. The highest temperature was reached at 3 p. m., when the Weather Bureau reported 92 degrees on the observation tower on the Federal Building. Street thermometors went as high as 102, but they are not regarded as official. The highest previous temperature this year was %, according to official figures.

ee ee ee eee ton avenue, was prostrated by the heat, NO GOOD EX FOR HOLDING UP NATURAL CASBILL House Would Pass Measure, But Chairman Brennan Delays.

NO, VOTE SINCE MAY 12

Combine Members of Com- mittee Not Disposed to Action.

Refusing to give any satisfactory rea- son for their inaction on the natural gas bill, Chairman W. J. Brennan and other members of the Pudlic Improvements Committee of the House of Delegates have withheld the measure from a vote since May 12. Only one public hearing has been granted, and on that occasion not one of the dozen representatives of mercantile and civic organizations present objected to any of the Dill’s provisions. At that time, however, a list of 22 questions which it was understood, had been prepared -y an attorney for the Laclede Gas Light Co., were asked of Attorney George V. Reynolds and James 0. Rodgers, one of the capitalists behind the new company. They were answered to the satisfaction of the business men at the hearing. Chairman Brennan of the committee and every member who helped him to conduct the hearing denied that the in- terrogations had been framed by the Lacjede company, but declined to say who had prepared them. The ques- tions, however, were almost identical with some which were read by Council- man Norvell when the bill was in his branch of the Assembly. Mr. Norvell then announced that the catechism was the work of the Laclede company. A Good Measure. At least three times Chairman W. J. Brennan of the Puwbdlic Improvements Committee has told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that he regarded the bill as a good measure. Brennan now says that he cannot obtain the consent of other members of the committee to re- port it. In the course of the bill’s delay in the House of Delegates, Brennan and his associates on the committee have re- sorted to various excuses for their fail- ure to let the bill go to a vote. These delegates announced bill ought to be amended so as to pro- vide that the new company’s bond of $250,000 should be furnished within days, instead of six months, after the granting of the franchise. Attorney Reynolds offered no objection to that change, but it has not been made. Delegate ‘Cap.’ Troll, @’member of the Public Improvement *# committee, then urged a delay of ten days in the course of which, he said, there would b2 another application for a franchise in behalf of Southwestern capitalists who wanted to pipe gas to St. Louis. Nearly two months have passed since the expiration of that lease of ten days, but no individual or company has ap- peared to verify Troll’s statement. Statement Not Facts. Chairman Brennan’s explanation that he cannot get members of the Public Improvements together is not a fact, so far as the last six weeks are con- cerned. Ever since the attempt was made to reorganize the House of Dele- gates, more than a month ago, every member of the combine, from which, with but one exception, the committee is recruited, has been at the House of Delegates at least once a week. In fact, several hearings, notably one on the bill authorizing the purchase of the Fair Grounds, have been conducted by the public improvements committee. Except for the amendment reducing the period in which the new concern shall file its bond to guarantee fulfill- ment of all its obligations under the franchise, it is not believed that there is need of any further alierations. Radical Amendments. in the City Council the bil! underwent radical amendments, which were suggested by members of the Board of Public Improvements,’ the Supervisor of City Lighting, the City Counselor, Councilmen and outsiders. Included among these new provisions were one fixing the maximum price of natural gas at 35 cents, another exact- ing a bond of $250,000, a limitation of the term of the franchise to 3% years, with an option of purchase by the city, the fixing of 60 cents as the maximum for artificial @as if that should have to be supplied through the fallure of the nat- ural gas, a requirement that 1 per cent of the company’s gross receipts be paid into the city treasury semi-annually, and a stipulation that the work of lay- ine the mains shall begin at the pools within six months after the company files its bond, that at least 100 miles of pipes must be laid within one year after permission to excavate the streets bas been granted, and that service shall be ready for consumers along the line of those pipes within two years after the excavation is undertaken. Other provisions are that no deposit greater than an average month's. bill While G {shall be required of consumers and that interest at the rate of 6 per cent shal! be paid by the company for the use of this money, that the city shall have, free of cost, whatever gas !s needed to heat or lieth municipal bulldings. that a bond of $10,000 shall be given by the company to insure the restoration of streets whic’ are excavated tn the laying of its pipe: and that all work shall be done with the approval of the Board of Public Im- “rovements. It is certain that if the committee on public improvements should report the gas bill, even without recommendation. that the House would pass It. Chairman Brennan, however, declines to take any action, favorable or adverse to the bill. Those on the committee with Bren- nan are Delegates Gallagher. Simmons. Tobin, Weeke, Schell and Troll.

Champions Pitch With Rail- road Passengers as Only Witnesses Now. 2 Upper Alton mercants found the horse- shoe game unlucky for business, So the players, some of whom think they could win world championships if the rest of the world would only play the game, have been banished from the public square. Cleve Reader, who is the Rube Wad- dell of the horseshoe game and Walter Shoemaker, who might be called its Cy Young, have been notified by the merchants that they must make some more secluded place the arena of their fame. It has got to be so that when these two got to pitching horse- shoes, everybody quits trading in the stores and goes out to watch. And there is so much noise that the mer- chants’ staying In side, can’t even figure up what : dd. Relegated to Vacant Lot. This looks to the Upper Alton trades- men much as a Roosevelt message looks to Wall Street— like an attack on business. So they told the horseshoe cham- pions that there was a nice lot near the village limits, close to the Alton railroad tracks, and that shey could get a lot more glory playing where the passengers on the trains could see them. So the players, including the two named, and Al Dixon, Charles Kauffman and Clyde Hawkins, said they’d try the awhile. Loser Must Stand Treat. The horseshoe game is played for an agreed score, generally ll. A “ringer’’ around the peg counts 6, a “‘leaner’’ against it 3, and a throw within a foot of the peg counts l. The distance is © to 9) feet, so that to put over two or three ‘“‘ringers’’ in succession, the way the Upper Alton experts frequently do, not much easier than striking out three men in one inning. There have never been any gate re- ‘elpts, but the custom has been that the .oser, or the losing team, treats the win- ner or winners. Red pop is the favorite treating beverage, as Upper Alton, un- like its sister village, East Alton, ts a temperance town.

This sad tale, duly subscribed under @ath, will be written by the eighty edd unsuccessful candidates for vari- @us political and public offices at the recent primary election. Already some of the losers have filed statements of the expensiveness of be- ing defeated. These avowals, however, cover only the financial pangs which the candidates suffered.

apparatus. The mob hung about for fifteen minutes and then moved off under apparent leadership, toward the outskirts. CAVALRY FAILS TO AID NEGRO. Half an hour after the negro had been strung up the cavalry jogged out Spring street and stopped at the corner. None but spectators remained. A horseman galloped off toward town. The rest sat in their saddles a few min- utes and then wheeled and went back the way they had come. Policemen cut down the negro and sent him away in a wagon. He was thought to be dead, but life was found in his body, and he was taken to St. Jobn’s Hospital in a dying condition. The cavalry, returning, met a company of militia leaving the arsenal on the There was a halt, and under new orders they turned north in : nat street toward a menaced locality. SIX SUSPECTS ARE ARRESTED. 2 Bix arrests were made, among the prisoners being a man whose name wis given as A. Rayner, said to have come from St. Louis and to have been a waiter at an amusement place in that city. , Coincident with the attack on Dunnigan, a less serious disturbance oc- cupred in front of the new ‘State Armory, : A crowd gathered and threatened to storm the place, wherein there were sheltered a number of negro refugees. “Two companies of the -Fourth Infantry and Troop B of the cavalry came on the double quick and charged with bayonets leveled. As in the previous incident, the mob fled precipitately at the sight of cold steel and the business-like appearance of the men in khaki. “The white families who live near the negro quarters are in dread of the mob’s violence. On many houses occupied by the whites in this section a white cloth is posted on the door, to signify the ent of the white resi- — derits. The lynching was the second which has sini 3 in the present race conflict, and came after Gov. Deneen, busy all day in direct- ing the movements of the ‘State troops, believed that order had been restored. Besides the two negroes who have been lynched, the first early today, two white men were killed. They are John Caldwell, who died today from a wound inythe stomach, inflicted by a militiaman’s rifle at the scene of the first lynch- ing, and Louis Johnson, whose body was found in Loper’s restaurant after riot- ers had wrecked the place last night. ““Others of the nearly 75 whites and negroes wounded have sunk so low that their deaths were erroneously reported today. Several of these are expected to die. by physicians in attendance at the overcrowded St. John’s Hospital. COUNTY OFFICIAL IS NEAR DEATH. “William Bowe, chief clerk in the office of the County Treasurer, who was . phot, and robbed by a band of negroes early today, has only a slender chance for erdering the ? _#& plan, probably unique in such a Jands,” and guards were put aboard, persed earlier in the evening had formed E: Werner, Gev.

COMPLETE STORY OF RIOT CAUSING DEATH AND RUIN ERE, is the complcte story of the rioting Friday night, written by a Post-Dispatch staff correspondent on the ground: SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 15.—Like a very small cloud, lazily floating across the sky, was the beginning of the demonstration which terribly avenged the killing of Clergy A. Ballard by the negro, Lee James, and the assault on Mrs. Earl Hallam by another negro, whom she identified as George Richardson. At noon Friday small groups of men stood on the street corners in the neighborhood of the city Jail at Sixth and East Madison streets. In the main they were unemployed men, whose homes were on the border- land of that section of Springfield known as the Black Belt. They were idle men with nothing to occupy their minds but idle gossip. VISITS TO SALOONS ARE NUMEROUS. They shook their heads and told each other that somthing should be done to teach the negro that he could not with impunity commit crimes like those with which the two prisoners in the Jail were charged. It was not until late in the afternoon, when there had been many visits to the saloons, that the groups began to merge with each other, each gathering becoming larger as the day wore on. At this stage there were no open threats of violence, but occasionally one of the men, lifting his voice above that of the others, would say: “They ought to be lynched.” This was overheard by deputy sheriffs, who circulated among the groups, and they told Sheriff Werner that trouble was threatened. The Sheriff, visibly nervous, surveyed the groups from the front porch of his home adjoining the Jail an@ at times paced up and down the sidewalk. The 6/o’clock whistles blew. The toilers of Springfield returned home from their work, and on their way they were told that “there was something doing” down at the Jail. They hurriedly ate their suppers and went to see what it was all about. They swelled the groups until they were groups no longer, but one large crowd of curious men. Some of them had their wives with them. 2 NO SHOW OF VIOLENCE AT 6 O’CLOCK, Even now, with a crowd blocking the streets surrounding the Jail, there was no show of violence. It is possible that if Sheriff Werner had not shown his fear of a lynching, by spiriting away the prisoners, the scenes of destruction and death which fol- lowed never would have occurred. No one had cried: “Let’s lynch them.” Only here and there had a voice been lifted: “They ought to be lynched.” The crowd had no leader. But Sheriff Werner took the expression of an opinion for a threat. He sent a messenger to Harry A, Loper, restaurant owner and former militia officer, asking him to lend his automobile to take the prisoners to Bloomington. ; LOPER DRIVES AUTO BEARING NEGROES. Loper responded in person, and was at the wheel of the big touring car as it bore the negroes away while the crowd was diverted by a run of the fire apparatus in response to a preconcerted false alarm, sent in by the Sheriff. Nearly an hour later, when the crowd learned how: it had been fooled and how Loper had aided in taking the negroes away, @ man cried: ~ “Let’s go and tell Loper, the nigger lover, what we think of him.” Man Who Shielded Negroes Enrages Mob When He Displays Rifle at Door At that time, apparently, there was little of the mob spirit. As the crowd walked the four blocks to Loper’s restaurant at Fifth and Monroe streets, there was no talk of murder. They swung into Fifth street from Adams street. In front of the restaurant stood the automobile. And in the doorway of the restaurant stood Harry T. Loper, former militia officer, WITH A RIFLE IN HIS HAND. Every eyewitness who has made a statement says that Loper took his position with his rifle when he heard that the crowd was coming and that he was there when the vanguard came around the corner. GIRL POINTS REVOLVER THROUGH WINDOW. A brick had worked loose from the street paving in front of the res- taurant. One in the crowd picked it up and hurled it at Loper. It missed him and crashed through the plate glass window. Miss Anna Atwood, cashier of the restaurant, pointed a through the break in the window. Roland Sturgis, a waiter, fired two re- volver shots from behind a coffee urn. The removal of the loosened brick made it easy to and 50 feet of the paving between the street car tracks was torn up and thrown, piece by piece, through the front of the restaurant. Revenge against Loper was still the crowd’s only thought. The angry men surged into the restaurant, forcing Loper and Miss Atwood to retreat and hide in the basement. From the center of the crowd a high-pitched voice sounded: “Tear up the place!”’ The crowd had found a leader. Its work of destructien was quick and thorough. Tables, chairs, counters, glassware were demolished. even the lath and plastering were torn from the walls. COMMAND TO BURN AUTO IS OBEYED. “Burn the automobile,” sounded the high-pitched voice. The human wave of destruction rolled back to the street. The wreckage of the restaurant was piled on the automobile. The gasoline tank was burst open with bricks and a lighted match was thrown into it. The crowd battled with the firemen te prevent them extinguishing the “bon- fire.’’ Slowly, the fire consumed itself after.the first flare of ignited gasoline. The flames died down and the embers glowed red and sullen like the waning anger of the crowd. anioepatonns 8 revolver remove others | The men had shown Loper what they thought of him. Their work was done. They were dispersing. After the restaurant had been wrecked the body of Louis Johnson, 17 years | old, was found lying at the foot of the staircase leading to the basement. It was thought at first that he had been shot, but no bullet wound was found and physicians who examined the wound reported that apparently his windpipe had been severed by a piece of glass which flew when the windows were smashed. Johnson was not employed at the restaurant. REVOLVER SHOT BREAKS THE SILENCE. And then— Just when the night air was still for the first time in two hours, there was a revolver shot. The sound seemed to come from the north, four or five blocks away. The wavering crowd heard it distinctly. What did it mean? “‘Let’s see what it is,” cried the high, shrill voice. They formed in ragged line again and swung around the corner. Infiamed Crowd Loses Reason When - Negro Youth Shoots a White Man Three blocks up East Washington street they could see a black — on the brilliantly lighted sidewalk. “There’s a crowd there. Let’s see what’s the matter,” they said to hie other as they quickened their pace. They found out all too soon for the peace of Springfield, for that which had happened was the psychological thing that turned the crowd into a mob. Scott Burton, 17-year-old negro porter in a barber shop, had shot Jim Hayes, a white man. He accused Hayes of failing to pay for having his shoes shined. They quarreled, and the negro boy pulled his revolver, fired a bullet into the white man’s leg afd flea. It was the last straw. INFLAMED CROWD LOSES ITS REASON. Another negro had committed a crime, The crowd, already inflamed, lost its reason. From its center came the high shrill voice—a man’s voice that sounded al- most like a woman’s, but fliercer: “Let’s get a nigger. Let's get a nigger.’’ The response was instantaneous. Two men ran into a side street. from a new building. They used it as a battering ram to wreck the front of the barber shop where the shooting had occurred, The crowd pushed in through the broken glass and wrecked the furnishings. Three other stores in the same block, all owned by negroes, were similarly demolished. . When the destruction here was complete the crowd, as with one impulse, started for the “Black Belt.” On the way the rioters leoted pawnshops and second-hand stores, taking revolvers, rifles and cartridges. NEGRO’S SNEER REACHES MOB’S EARS. They were looking for Scott Burton, the negro boy who sbhet a white man. j “And ‘‘Let’s get a nigger, let’s geta nigger,’’ sang the high, shrill voice as they rushed along. Some of them knew that Burton lived near Twelfth and East Madison streets, but, when they reached there, their attention was diverted from the search. On the corner was a negro saloon, brilliantly It was filled with black men. Through the open door came snatches of a song. And came also the sound of a deep, bass voice with a note of sneering laughter in it: “Wall, de Sheriff he done fooled ’em dat time.’’ The two who carried the scantling rushed forward. Using it as a battering ram, they smashed the plate glass window. The negroes fled through the rear door. i SOME DRINK WHISKY AND GIN. Then some in the crowd drank of the cheap whisky and gin in the place. When they came out they brandished bottles in their hands and rushed down the street to the next corner, where there was another negro saloon. This they wrecked—and again many drank. After they had looted a third saloon, they were ready for anything. Scat- tering over four blocks of the Black Belt, they made fire brands of sticks and the branches of trees and rushed+hither and thither, setting fire to the frame homes of negroes. Negro Boy Beaten, Dragged Fifty Feet, Then Hanged to Dead Tree They would fire a fusillade into the front of the house, As the oc- cupants fled, members of the crowd would rush in, rip open a mattress, empty the oil from a lamp on it and set fire to it. Twenty-five houses in the four blocks were aflame at once and many of them were destroyed. Again the embers were smoldering and the crowd was about to dis- perse. As it neared Twelfth and East Madison streets the front door of a brick house opened and a negro boy cautiously thrust his head out and looked up and down the street. In the light of the burning pbuilding next door, his features were clearly outlined. “It’s Scott Burton,” yelled half a dozen in the crowd. “It’s the nigger that shot Jin: Hayes.” ! One leaped forward, grabbed the trembling boy by the neck and pulled him into the yard. He piteously cried for mercy, but his veice was soon stilled. He was beat- en with rifle stocks, revolver butts and fists until he sank, uncenscious. NEGRO BOY IS DRAGGED FIFTY FEET: One in the crewd brought @ repe. They tied it around his neck and dragged him 50 feet to the corner. A Man climbed a gaunt, dead tree and threw the loose end of the rope through a fork, Those belew caught it and pulled the inert form up, se that the feet dan- gled above the sidewalk. Another of the crowd climbed the tree again. They handed him a firebrand and he set fire to the gnarled top. | ‘The body was left there. The meb had “got a nigger.” The effert to burn the tree and the body of the boy failed. The fire flick- ered and went out. Too late to prevent the lynching, militie companies arrived at the corner ynder command of Col. R. J. Shand. He drdered the crowd to disperse. The next orders were short and sharp; They returned with a heavy scantling lighted.

And when daylight came, men chopped down the tree, and men and women cut chips from it end carried them away as souvenirs. All througit the day Springfiled was outwardly quiet. By proclamation of the Mayor, the galoons were closed, but otherwise business went‘on as usual. ae a ee YOU CAN GET IT FOR LESS MONEY AT - RED, EAGLE OR GOLD STAMPS. ; Close at 7 O'Clock Bvenings; Saturday, 10:30 O'Clock Hundreds of Children Come Daily and Get What They Are Sent For -

) FANS THREATEN UMPIRES AFTER “CARDS” LOSE Amn ote?

Crowd Angered at Decisions Which McCloskey Men Say Aided (riants in 5 to 1 Victory. —_—,

By JAMES CRUSINBERRY UGGSY McGRAW and his New York troupe of baseball players gave a splendid exhibition at League Park yesterday afternoon and trailed the ‘lowly Cardinals in another defeat with considerable ease by a score of 5 to 1, thus strengthening their grasp on a chance to win the National League pennant. But the scrappy Muggsy rung in a side show with the um- pires that while extremely funny came near causing a riot at the close of the game, angered fans from the bleachers tearing across the field and threat- ening to annihilate the tavo officials. The Cardinals were gutpylayed, true enough, and the team probably would have won quite handily without the aid ot Messrs. Klem and Johnatcn, the two umpires. But it is trying for a crowd of Pome rooters to see their favorites destfoyed without a fighting chance even ff all hope has fled. oo Just as the game ended a crowd gathered around both Johnstone and Klem and said mean things to them. There were a half dozen policemen on hand who protected the officlals and even then one large and excited fan came near getting ‘at Klem just as he Klided through the gate ahead of the offwer. After they were shielded, Mr. Johnstone tukwed and spoke roughly to the crowd and one angry fan sald he even turned up Bis nose and stuck out hig tongue at the mob. Klem was unsatisfactory alone and Johnstone added to the discontent. Mr. Klem acted behind the batter. He called balls and strikes. Mr. Johnston stood out close to the base lines and gnve decisions on plays in the field. McGraw should be thanked for one decision he made during the after- noon, when he might have it had it in his favor. But histeam was three runs to the good at the time and Muggesy was a rood Samaritan and helped the Cardinals when they were down. It happened in the seventh inning. Reilly lined a hot single past Dev- lin’s shins and as the ball caromed out into foul ground, he tried to make second. Umpire Johnson trot- ted along behind him and Devlin hustled the ball to Bridwell in plenty of time to,get the man, so Johnson waved him out, turned his back to the play and started back to first. But Reilly had ‘slid into the bag so

National League Scores

PICKED FROM NATIONAL LEAGE SATURDAY GAMES The PWillies beat the Cubs with Miner Brown pitching for the champions. It took but six hits to turn the gaine into. a victory. Sparks held the Chicagoans to four dinkies. Pittsburg had to come from be- hind to beat Boston yesterday, but did it decisively, batting Ferguson from the box. Two of the Boston players, Dahlen and Kelly, were put off the grounds by Umpire Emslie. Emslie all alone seemed to have more nerve than John- stone and Klem together in St. Louls. Cincinnati raked a game right out of the fire from the Brooklyn team, but it took 10 innings to do it. Manager Chance of tKe Cubs is now batting down next to the catcher. He formerly batted in fourth place and was always up around .300. Johnny Evers, the great second basegian of the Cubs, allowed the first rmn for the Phillies when he made a wild heave in the second inning. The Cubs seemed off their stride and the Phillies played per- fectly.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 15.— Frank,B. Greer of the East Boston Boat Club, twice champion sculler of the United States, who was defeated last year by Harry 8. Bennett of the Springfield Boat Club, wrested the championship from Bennett this aft- ernoon by five lengths. Bennett was overtrained and almost collapsed at the finish, While the crowd of 430,000 that lined the river bank was cheering the winner, Greer rowed over to Ben- faett’s scull and clasped the ex-cham- pion’s hand. Durando Miller of the New York Athletic Club and Fred Shepherd of the Seawanhaka Boat Club of Brooklyn, of whom much had been “ae brought up in the rear. he men got away in beautiful style, with the exception of O'Neill. Bennett received a continuous ova- tion from the time he left the boat- house until the signal to start. Greer in the Lead, At the buoy Greer was leading, with O’Nelill second, Miller third and Bennett in fourth place. After swing- ing to the stretch Benhnett distanced O'Neill and Shepherd and was folow- ae Miller, who made second place. O’Nelll spurted and got in second po- sition. reer gradually widened the distance between himself and O'Neill. Bennett came in third, closely follow- ed by O'Neill. Without minimizing Greer’s wonderful performance, it may be stated that Ben- nett would undoubtedly have made a etter showing but for yesterday's gruel- ing experience when, in order to win the senior double sculls, he propelled the shell along at record pace for 30 yards after his partner, Alexander War- ner, had collapsed. The Centipede race was won by the Metropolitan crew of New York, the Union Boat Club of New York was sec- ond, with the Harlem Rowing Club Oe At the south end of the bridge the Union Boat Club crew led the way with the Metropolitan boat second and the Harlem boat third. The Intermediate Centipede straight- Way race was so much of a sure thing ffom the start that it lacked iaterest.

Try as he did, Sir Martin couldn't get past Persus much less Helmet, who led the bunch @ mer- ry chase to the stretch turn. As they straightened out it was thought Sir Martin must come on but he did not. Instead Fayette, which had been running with the tailenders on the early running, made up ground and threatened to come on, It was not so, however, for Notter went right along with Helmet and at the end won easily in the fast time of 1:121-6.

The Unimatics have also in that time played 51 games, winning 47 and losing 4, being win- ners of pennant in Mercantile League in 1907, which tends to show that the Unimatics must have been a good, fast team, and, in that event, park.

This would enable Sir Thomas to challenge with a boat the very counterpart of the 23-meter rater (equivalent to our 75-footers) Shamrock, which has made jthe unprecedented record of 24 oyt of 27 races sailed on the other side this year. According to the very best infor- mation, the challenge from Sir Thom- as last fall was for a race with a Class J boat of about 68 feet water line. And right here is a point which seems to have been completely over- looked in that if Sir Thomas had def- inately stated the length on the load water line of his boat he could have demanded and secured either a race or a forfieture of the cup. Could Force a Race, , HE deed of gift expressly states that having duly issued a challenge and given his load water line length, if the parties can- not mutually agree upon the terms of the match, then the series of races must be sailed, and without any time allowance whatever, this latter be- ing a very important clause in the deed. “Acceptance of a challenge indefi- nitely fixing the water line as about 68 feet would place the designer of a defending yacht at a serious dis- advantage, for the reason that the designer of the challenge might jusg- gle the length, sail area and dis- placement 80 as to get the best speed results and without any re- feet, for the cost of building would be less than half that for a 90-footer like the Reliance, and her cost and expenses were fully $250,000. In years like the present the smaller sum would be more easily raised. In 1901 all the money necessary to build a boat was raised in one night and the order to build was wired to Herres- hoff. One Course for Sir Thomas. ¥F Sir Thomas ig really desirous of @& race there is only one course for him to follow. This has been Plainly outlined as above. There are absolutely no restrictions as to the model, suil area or displacement oth- er than stated, and he has until Dec. 1 to issue his challenge. Ten months’ notice is required and no races gan be sailed between Nov. 1 and May 1, the time being generally figured from Dec. 1 The New York Yacht Club, unlike any similiar organization, was incor- porated under a special charter. Others, like the Larchmont, Atlantic, Brooklyn and New Rochelle, has a board of trustees that has practical control of all racing matters. In the New York Yacht Club all yacht own- ers are entitled to a vote, and the matter of getting 2000 men together to vote on ‘a question—which in this case is largely hypothetical—is a seri- ous one. Sir Thomas has no occasion at this time to ask that the club should vot, on whréther his challenge would be ac- cepted. If he sends over a defi couched in preper terms it must be accepted, for otherwise he could bring over his boat and lift-the mug, anyway, should there be no boat to meet him. Bankera Win Both Games.

BLOOMINGTON, lUl., Aug. 15.—George thing of ill omen among us. I mean the increasing disregard for law, which pervades the country—the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions in lieu of the sober judgments of courts, and the worse than savage mobs for the executive ministers of justice. “This disposition is awfully farful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit it, it would be a vio- lation of truth and an Insult to our intelligence to deny. r “Accounts of outrages committed by mobs form the everyday news of the times. They have pervaded the country from New England to Louisiana, they are neither peculiar to the eternal snows of the former or the burn- ing suns of the latter; they are not the creature of Climate, neither are they confined to the slaveholding or the non-slaveholding states. “Alike they spring up among the pleasure hunting masters of Southern slaves and the citizens of the land of steady habits. Whatever, then, their cause may be, it is common to the whole country.” Bo 2: | a

They filled the street for a block. For a time they contented themselves with shout- ing at Loper. They called him ‘nigger- lover,’ and. ‘nigger protector.’ “He did not reply to them. The first violence was the overturning of his au- tomobile. It was thrown bottom up on the sidewalk. Later it was thrown out into the street. Matches were cast at it until finally one ignited the gasoline. “The crowd would not let anybody put out the flames. Loper came to the door with an army gun in his hands. There were derisive shouts from the crowd, Somebody threw a piece of clod. Then they began to dig the paving bricks out of the street and the work of demolition was on in earnest. The militia did not arrive until after the damage had been done. ‘The crowd was about the place about two and a half hours, Then they dis- persed of their own notion. The crowd was composed of boys and young men, laboring men and men of family. There were few hoodlums or drunkards. At first there were no women, but later there was a sprinkling of these.’’ “There must have been a crowd of 4000 people about the Jail when the two negroes were spirited away at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,’”’ said G. A. Kikendal. “I wag in Becker’s shoe store, a block from the Jail, when the fire apparatus passed. It had been called out as a ruse to get the crowd away from the Jail. ‘*The ruse was successful. 1n the mo- mentary diversion the negroes were rustled out into the alley and down to where Loper’s automobile was stand- ing at the mouth of the alley. As quickly as the maneuver was carried out it was none too quick. “The cry was raised that the negroes were being taken away. The crowd surged back toward the Jail. There Were cries of ‘Lynch the niggers.’ “Before the crowd could do any- thing, however, the negroes and depu- ties were in the automobile. Loper drove the machine through the crowd. They fell back to the right and the left, and then closed in behind and ran after the machine, but were soon left be- hind.”’ ao 2 Taft Deplores Riot.

I honestly believe that my white neighbors would give me a good reputation. Negro Is Confident. “I do not feel uneasy over the present difficulty in which I, find myself, and I feel sure that when the frenzy of a righteously indignant populace cools off, I shall have no difficulty in re-establish- ing myself as a good citizen in the eyes of the public.

A lease which gives him control of -'' Delmar Garden, its theater and all Jauxiliary properties, an additional % , ears, has been obtained by J.C. Jan- ..}mopoulo, who has occupied the premises “ |for years. It was executed ‘by Edward A. Whit- ‘taker and George W. Baumhoff, prin- ‘stale of the holding realty corporation. | It becomes effective at the expiration of Jannopoulo’s present lease in December, ‘49, and extends to December, 1919, with ; privilege of another 10 years, giving him ‘control of the property until 1929. The terms, it was stated, provide for an annual net rental of $15,000, and give the lessee the privilege of purchasing the property, it is said, during the first term at $200,000 and the second at a price to be placed on the earning capacity of ’ the resort. The tract contains about forty acres, a portion of which is wooded, and in- ‘eludes a modern al fresco theater and a pike of polyglot theatrical attractions. The transaction with Jannopoulo’ may {thwart E. G. Lewis’ plan to have Del- ‘mar Garden and the Delmar racetracks, {adjoining on. the east, in his projected | Utopia unless the amusement man sur- - ‘renders his privileges in the garden -Sfease to the University City head for a fs thenus Jannopoulo’s Pians, It is understood that Jannopoulo con- jtemplates extending Delmar Garden to hembrace the Delmar racetracks, but -+Lewis, having an option on the latter, | may halt them, it is said, should his tay University City extension be hehecked. _ ~* Jt is Lewis’ ‘plan to have all land with- ‘ }in University regions conform in sub- ‘division and street improvement. The Delmar Garden lease is the only “obstacle in the way of this plan. Area Transformed. | The change in this area within the ‘least two years excites wonder. Wind- ing boulevards with landscape effects / and magnificent residences in process of construction are working its transform- ation. Within a short time the improvements ‘fn West Portland place, west of Park- : view and south of University City, ‘which has been launched by the Hol- ‘Drook-Blackwelder company, will be “@ompleted. Grading and installation of water, sewer and gas mains are finish- “ed. Streets and sidewalks are in pro- cess of construction. -* Delightfully situated, West Portland “place is the garden spot of medium- *. priced residential additions of the city. \ The prices fixed in this addition are low ‘In comparison with those of University i City and Parkview. Thomas G. Wade, | who is exploiting it for the Holbrook- ‘Blackwelder Real Estate Co., de- eal that its success is already as- ; ‘bured. | The standard set for August in realty eircles was well maintained during the j; week. In fact the tone was stronger, a ‘number of notworthy transactions being _*4ncluded in the week's operations. . The call for moitern business quarters was again uw feature of business. A deai soby which the Fitzsimmons Realty Com- pany is to erect an elght-story commer- "celal building at the northwest corner of « Ninth and Walnut streets, at a cost of -» $250,000, and by which it will be occupied -« by printing and book-binding concerns eeunder long leases, promoted by John B. «; Krieger, was a notable feature. =) Identity of the lessees, Mr. Krieger S@tated, could not be disclosed at this _ * @ime, the building will be adapted _ *@specialiy for printing and book-binding _ *eestabdlishments, construction being of ~ being replete with modern appliances and devices, including a sprinkling sys- ‘tem and a heating and power plant, and freight and passenger elevators. It will occupy a lot of 77 by 125 feet. ih. The operations of Mr. Kreiger in this district have been a prime factor in its evelopment. Its future as a wholesale ' and manufacturing center is assured. » ar. Krieger was a prime mover in the ' Graham Paper Co. and the Curran » Printing Co. deal. ane Hotel ‘Property Sold, Another notable transaction in the business center was the sale’ of the | Hove Mack property at the southeast corner of Market and | Streets, e four-story buliding occupying be lot 4 by 118 feet, to John G. G. Cantiepa, a saloon-keeper, for $46,000. m bs The transcation was effocted by the yrealty agency of Kollas & Brinkop, than the demand. A deal is said to be pe nding for the exchange of the Waldorf Apartments, at the southeast corner of Lindell boulevard ard Boyle avenue, for a plantation in Louisiana, on the basis of $200,000 for the former, ‘and $125,- 600 for the latter, the difference to be paid in cash. The Louisianan is said to be a wealthy planter who is going to cast the die on the realty chess board in St. Louis. It is announced that $100,000 in homes will be erected in the vicinity of Cakland Terrace by Albert Fink, at a cost of $3500 each, The speculative possibilities of auc- tion prices was shown during the week in two transactions effected through the agency of Keene & Franke. A lot 35 by 130 feet, on the north side of McPherson avenue, just east of Rosedale, was sold on behalf of ‘a client of this firm ‘to James T. Brown for $48 a front foot, the prop- erty having been purchased at the Mercantile Trust Co.’s Washington Heights auction in May at $37 a foot. The other instance was that of the sale of a lot’ on the north side of Westminster place, between Rosedale and Des Peres avenues, from John B. Phelps te James Mauran for $40 a front foot. This price also netted the grantors a substantial profit. An $2000 Purchase. Arthur R. Bardenheir, of the John Bardenheier Wine & Liquor Co., pur- chased through the Edw. A. Ganss R. E. Co., the beautiful red brick residence No. 6160 Wesminster place, just com- pleted by the’A. A, Fischer Architec- tural Building Co., containing seven rooms and reception hall, oak stairways. elegant Dutch dining room, tiled bath- room, etc., and all modern conveniences including modern heating plant. A beau- tiful feature of arrangement is the re- ception hall and parlor being thrown tegether by a wide columned opening, the woodwork being finished in white relieved by French panel water color decorations. The house is‘ situated on a lot 8 feet front by a depth of 125 feet. to an alley, and Mr. Bardenheler wil! occupy same for his home. Wanstrath Place Improvement. A $25,000 block of store buildings is to be erected in Wanstrath place. There has been over $200,000 spent in this loca- tion in little more than a year for im- proveménts in flats and _ residences. Plans and specifications are now being prepared for the northeast corner of Carter and Athlone for some modern up-to-date stores and apartments which will be built by Geo. J. Wanstrath. The corner will be arranged for a large up- to-date drug store with fine apartments upstairs. There will be four more stores which are suitable for any kind of busi- ness. Different kinds of businesses are needed on these corners as the neigh- borhood is growing very rapidly and Carter and Athlone will be the busi- ness center of this rapidly growing location. Cost of buildings, construc- tion of which will begin in the near future, will be about $26,000. Emil Gunter has been appointed agent for a large tract of land fronting on Virginia, Utah and Compton avenues, between Cherokee and Utah and has al- ready sold many lots that will be im- proved witu homes that will materially enhance the value of the property. The prices fixed are relatively low and in- volve unusual speculative advantages.

GOUNT STOPPED EXPRESS TRAIN Relative of the Man Who Married Gladys Vanderbilt Piled His Trunks on the Track. i. i Special by Cable to Pest-Pispatch. VIENNA, August 1li.—.ne Appouyls, one of the oldest families of Hungary, is closely connected with the Szenchenyts, one of whom recently married Miss Gladys Vanderbilt. They have a magnificent estate in Tolna Komitat. Close to the castle is a small‘ railway station called Kurdesibrak, at which only slow trains stop, while the express rushes through at a tremendous rate of speed. Lately a nephew of the Hungarian court marshal, young Count Alexander Appouyi stopped at Kur- desibrak for a visit. When he was about to leave he sent word to the station master to be kind enough to step the evening express to Budapest as ‘he wished to get into it. The stationmaster anxious to fulfill the local magnate’s wish, telegraphed the nearest big station, and received a refusal. They had appealed to the railway government depart- ment at Budapest and their answer was that trains must not make special stops anywhere for any- body’. Count Alexander Appouyi later drove up to the station in a dogcart followed by a country cart full of packing cases: Outside the station where he could see the train coming from a distance, he had the boxes and luggage piled up between the rails. Then when the approaching train was-seen he took a red lantern coolly stepped into the rails in front of the luggage. He swung the lantern and of course the train stopped. Count Appouyi hurried to a first class compartment, got in ahd left his servants to explain and put his luggage into the train. As some passengers complained, he afterwards was fined $20 but a surprising part of the incident is tnat the ex- press now regularly stops at Kurdesibrake.

LONDON, Aug. 6.—Lady Constance Stewart Rich- ardson, niece of the Duke of Sutherland, is cutting a big social swath this season. She has been in London all the time, most unusual for her, for she has heretofore preferred the free open-air life of the country or the yacht deck. She is greatly about with the Duchess of Sutherland, and is une of those women who improve enormoualy in looks as sho grows more mature. There is a diablierie about her that is irresistible, and she is now one of the most devoted of Maud Al- lan’s votaries, worshiping at her shrine nearly every night of the week. She has herself taken up classical dancing, but she is also adept at the more conven- tional kinds, The other night she gave a performance at Stafford House with Lina Cavalieli which created one of those sensations among the staid set in which Lady Constance takes the keenest pleasure. She cul- tivates acquaintance among the upper Bohemian set whose carryings-on are causing the King 80 much concern for the dignity of the British peerage.

She speaks many languages and has travelled extensively. Speaking of the harem women she says: “I think they are the happiest women in the whole world. “Moslem women take hardly any exercise at all, but they are free from most of the ailments which beset the women of civilized communities. The harem women are much more beautiful than the Western ones. Those who are seen by Christians are always the worst examples, so that no idea can be formed by visitors to the cities.

————ae NERVES ARE AFFECTED

St. Louis Doctors Say That Nicotine Poisoning Will Cause Many Ills.

The evils that have actually happened to cigarette smokers have been numer- ous and diversified, ranging all the way from heart failure to a bright green cuticle, but Philadelphia dispatches yesterday reported the latest cigarette trouble, a case of paralysis induced by the inhalation of cigarrette smoke. St. Louis physicians are united in agreeing that such a thing is possible, and probable, and several of them say that similar cases have come under their notice. Dr. W. C. G. Kirchner, superinten- dent of the City Hospital, said: “Cigarette smoking causes many ail- ments. I am not surprised at any deleterious physical results that follow their use. The inhalation of cigarette smoke could easily cause paralysis.» Nicotine Affects the Nerves. ‘‘When a cigarette smoker inhales the fume from the ‘coffin nail,’ as some call them, it produces nicotine poisoning, and this affects the nerve centers. All of the organs of the body, those of loco- motion as well as those of sight and hearing, are governed by the nerves, and these nerves ¢ome together in the nerve centers, located in the brain, spinal cord and elsewhere. “These nerve centers control all the organs of the human body. When they are affected, the organs are uncon- trollabie, and inactive, which condi- tion we call paralysis.’’ Dr. Gib W. Carson, of the Century building, said: “I have had cases under my own observation where paralysis has been induced by cigarette smoking and inhalation and I have heard of many more. Cigarette smoking is very dangerous, and it is not only the preach- ers’ who will tell you so. The physi- clans know it. Will Cause Paralysis. Cigarette smoke, inhaled in the lungs and thus communicated to the entire system, produces nicotine poisoning, and this causes many ailments. Paralysis may easily be one. The poison affects the nerve centers, and it is possible for it to deaden them to such an extent that they are powerless. When the nerve center refuses to act, the organs are motionless, and ineffective, and this is paralysis.’’ Dr. 8. Klein, of 1921 North Grand ave- nue, said: “Paralysis from cigarettes is rather uncemmon, but not unreasonable. It is possible for cigarette smoking to cause almost any of the physical and mental ailments of mankind. This paralysis is easily explained. The inhaled smoke permeates the lungs and the entire sys- tem producing nicotine poisoning, and this in turn affects the nerve centers and causes them to fail in their duty, which produces what we call paralysis.” Many Nerves Affected. Dr. R. T. Ehrhardt, 301 Century build- ing, said: “I have heard many times of paralysis of the optic and auric nerves from cig- motor paralysis fram this cause. How- ever I can conceive how this might be possible, as in the case of the Phila- @elphia man. The inhalation of cigar- ette emoke takes the nicotine through- out the entire system and produced nic- otine poisoning, which acts on the nerve centers with deadening effect. They be- come powerless, and paralysis follows.” The case reported in "Philadelphia is that of Alval MacGreary, a real estate broker. In June, MacCreary was strick- en with acute paralysis, while smok- ing a cigarette at his home. The stroke seized him as he was in the act of inhaling a mouthful of smoke. Stricken As He Lay in Bed. MacCreary had been an _ habitual smoker of cigarettes for many years and was in the habit of smoking the first thing in the inorning. As usual, that morning, he arose and got a Cigarette and lighted it. Returning to bed, he lay down, and ten minutes later, when he tried to rise he had no control of his arms and legs. Medical examination showed that Mac- Creary was not. paralyzed in the or- dinary sense, and his mental faculties were perfectly clear, but he was un- able to move any muscle of his body. Minute’ investigation showed that a blood clot had formed at the base of the brain. An’ operation removed the blood clot, and proved successful. MacCreary is now said to be recovering.

MAN ARRESTED ON POST CARD CHARGE BY GIRL ——

to Ad and Says She Was Insulted.

William M. Burnum, 89 years old, of 5315 Wellsmar avenue, was. arrested yesterday on complaint of Mrs. Mary Heidwig of 1512 Montgomery street, who charges he addressed improper remarks to her daughter, Clara, when she visit- ed him in response to an advertisement for a stenographer. The girl told her mother she visited Burnum in his office at Ninth and Chestnut streets, and was told by him that he had procured a stenographer but needed a housekeeper. She said she agreed to accept the position, and that when she asked+him her duties, he made remarks to which she objected. Burnum denied to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Saturday that he intended to say anything improper to the girl. “TY advertised for a stenographgr and a housegirl,”” said Burnum. “When this girl applied for a position she said she could not use a typewriter. She agreed to take the position as housegirl. “She had a melancholy appearance. I had a girl tike that once before, and did not like this characteristic. I told the girl so, and drew from my desk a package of picture postal cards. Select- ing one which was a picture of a man tickling a woman under the chin, I handed it to heft with the remark, ‘That’s the kind of a girl I like.’ “She laughed and I asked if she wanted to see the remainder of the cards. She said she did and I handed them to her. She looked at one or two and then: walked out of the office, ap- parently insulted. There was not an improper card in the lot.” REAL ESTATE eeerse FLAT wtd. —To buy la —_ Reo | In- del] pl., east of Gran y- 116, “Post-Dispatch. age | HAVE cash buyer single flat in West

WOMAN ORDERS. MEN AWAY, THER Did Not Approve of Coler Painters Used Nor Manner: of Applying Pigment. Because she did not like the color of the paint they were using, er the manner in which they applied the pigment, Mrs. Sarah Hawkins of East Alton, IIl., wife of S. M. Hawkins, assistant supervisor of Woodriver Township, ordered the painters to leave the premises, took their brushes and material, and painted the house herself. She worked all day, without stopping even for lunch, and by night she had finished the job. Mrs. Hawkins began the painting laregly a8 a lesson to the professionals who had disregarded her orders, but af- ter her indignation had been cooled by the breezes playing about the eaves of her home, she began to like the work immensely, and painted sheerly for the love of it. Sorry When Work Is Done. When she had finished the task, she cemplained, musingly, that she was sorry she hurried, as it was lots of fun and might just as well have been strung over two days. Hawkins came home about that time, however, and told her that she need not fret; that he could keep her busy. He is building a frame store building on the lot adjoining« his residence and he promised Mrs. Haw- kins that she might paint it if she would be real good. Last week Mrs: Hawkins gave orders for her house to be painted. WHarly Thursday morning two painters came to do the.work. They had barely started when Mrs. Hawkins came out to see how they were getting along. “Oh, that'll never do,” she exclaimed, ‘You're smearing the paint, and you have not mixed it right.’’ Painters, Ordered Awny. “Let me see you do it better,” one painter, and he was so surprised he almost lost his balance when Mrs. Haw- kins accepted his preposition, “Get down and leave my yard,’ Mrs. Hawkins said. “I'll de the job my- self.”" 3 The men left and she went to work. “Tl don’t care if I am a woman,” Mrs. Hawkins said to neighbors who came to look on. “TI hate te see men botch jobs, as they ’most ajways do, and I would rather do it myself than have to stand over men and watch their every movement.” Mrs. Hawkins is © years old and the mother ef a large family, but she is very active, and she declares that she would rather paint than do any other work. “I have always done my in- terior decorating, and painting the out- side is just as easy,” she said.

Twenty years Andrew Carne- gie crept stealthily to a midnight conference with competitors whenever they wished to form a com- bination of the steel output, for a hue and cry after monopolfes was abroad in the land. Since then public opin- ion, it seems, bas softened toward the octopus, until many with President Roosevelt that th ere are “some good trusts,” and others even lean to Mark Hanna's dictum, that all trusts are good trusts.

The evidence cleatly shows that . “It ia claimed by the attorneys and officers of this trust that dur- ing the last two or three years it ha:J ceased to operate in violation of the law; but it is our contention that it is still doing secretly that which, a few years ago, it did openly.

It ie a significant fact that Mr. Taft, in his speech of acceptance, declared his belief in industrial a subject to regulation, and thus pledged himself to an amendment of call.

Though h‘s fortune, it is estimated, would make Rockefeller’s look mod- erate, Weyerhaueser was unknown Outside of Wisconsin until a few years ago. “Who's Who?” thought it had exhausted the subject of this richest man in the world when it dis- missed him with 11 lines. “Frederick Weyerhaeuser!” ex- claims a recent magazine writer. “The name conveys no meaning to the average reader.

He is master of vast reaches of wonderful forests, extending from the cluttered drives of Wisconsin lakes to the Pacific Coast. His hand reaches the uttermost recesses of the wilds of the Northwest, and the high- est mountain peaks are spots from which he could unfurl his banner to the air if he desired. “His business is one of magnificent distances. His great wealth is in forests, and he seems to have ac- quired some of the impenetrability and brwoding silence which are char- acteristic of them. “There are many men rich through lumber traffic, but Weyerhaeuser is king of all of them.

So, while holding the Northwest in the palm of one nand, Weyerhaeuser has reached out the other to grasp the Southeast.

Suddenly the Angel seized the dreamer and attempted to thrust him among the condemned. He resisted and the Angel promised him 72 days in which to seek redemption. Bous- sum awoke, stil] quivering wiih ex- citement inspiréd by the dream. He began to calculate and figured that the 72 days of grace given him by the dream angel would expire on the fourth of September. He told his wife of the dream and asked her ad- vice, saying he believed his days on earth really were to be numbered in accordance with the vision. Mr. and Mrs. Boussum discussed the vision earnestly. Both were deep- ly impressed. At the suggestion of his wife Boussum called upon Rev. Edwin S. Doyle, pastor of the Bap- tist Church of Frankfort. The clergy- man was told the story of the dream and of Boussum’s belief relative to the dream. He advised that Boussum do noth- ing hastily and suggested that he go home and reflect further over the matter. Boussum did so, but in a few days returned to the minister, say- ing he was more than over convinced n a remarkable change began to manifest itself in the new con- vert’s life. His face took on a look of spiritual exaltation. His health began to mend. He grew stronger and heavier. His old difficulty in sleeping long at a time disappeared. He now sleeps quietly and for the same unbroken time that persons in perfect health do. He says he feels better than he has in years. And yet,-despite this palpable im- provement in his health, despite the new joy he has found, despite the new ease of mind and assurance with regard to his future, immortal, as well as earthly, he still clings to the conviction that he must give up the ghest on the fourth day of Sep- tember.

Her one object seems to be to add to the comfort and happiness of him she loves so devotedly and yet fears to loge so soon.

HE night of my vision I retired early, feeling no worse than Suddenly, in my sleep, there appeared a sight of- won- derful beauty, filling me with admiration and terror. whole world in tumult, the mountains and hills trembling, and angels Over all these was a great flood of light. As the vis'on became more clear I saw the Lord upon His throne and nearby sat Satan. There was a great multitude of people before the throne and the Death Angel was separating them, putting the good on the side of the Lord and the evil on the side of Satan. Finally, as I beheld the scene in fear and bewilderment, the Death Angel came toward me, beckoning with a fiendish grin, and started to lead me to the side of Satan. Angel of Death apparently showed compassion on me and informed me that I would have 72 more days in which to make my peace with God and make a place for myself at His side. to do and the glory of heaven, with its streets throngs of angels and God on His throne was so vividly impressed on my mind that I awoke with a start. that I had not really been to that strange land of the hereafter.

Dr. Doyle briefly informed the congregation of the circum- stances which had led Boussum to seek membership in the chu:ch, but added that he did not wish to fur- ther any ideas whicu might prove to He be morbid. He suggested from the pulpit than Boussum wait yet a few days more before yielding utterly to the conviction that he was to die on the day named by the dream angel. um, however, at the next church service said he did not want any further postponement. He felt he said, a desire to become a Chris. tian, a longing to seek divine for- giveness for his sins and a determ/.- nation to prepare himself for the denouement to which he |. now ng forward. Dr. Doyle yielded to his desires, performed the sacrament of baptism and admitted have been impressed with the fact that some strange, dark cloud hangs Over their home.

The parents endeavor, as much as pos- sible, to remove the depression of the children, but the spell of the dream holds the household fast, and the children no more than their eld- ere can escape it. The news of Boussum’s dream and his faith in it has been discussed far and wide. He has received a num- ber of letters inquiring about it. Many have been written by religious persons, whose interest is solely spir- itual. Others have come from psy- chologists, whose interest is that of the scientific student.

I kept speaking to her in this way until her respiration became norma! and she opened her eyes. “As the normal was reached, Mrs. McNulty opened her eyes in a tired way and tears ran down her cheeks. ‘Oh,’ she said, ‘I have been on a long journey, so long.’ ”’ “You are positive, doctor, that Mrs. McNulty, was the first to speak?” he was as’ed, “This suggestion as to a journey or a long journey did not come from you or somebody else in the room?” “Mrs. MeNulty was the first to sneak,” answered Dr. Mulligan, test- ily, and continued: “Nobody sug- ges‘ed anything to her. “‘and did you meet anybody you knew?” I as*ed her. ““Oh, yes,’ she said. ‘I met my mother and Tom there,’ “Mrs. MeNulty’s mother died twelve of fifteen years ago.

Not much attention would be paid to such an act far out in the residence distric’s, but the law is en- forced 'n the busiress sections. In China, on the contrary, the wheelbarrow is one of the important methods of locomotion and transpor- tation, and is used in all parts of the empire, cities as well as country. Passengers are carried sometimes long distances in wheelbarrows, and goods and merchandise are transport- ed by the same method.

This is Dr. Ilgen’s way of explain- ing the unanimity with which many divines take several months off each summer. Their congregations, un- protected, are, nevertheless, in no danger, he says, because the Old Ser- pent is “off the job.” As to just how the Devil amuses his leisure, and where he spends his vacation, Dr. Ilgen is rather uncer- tain. He confesses to the same state of mind as-to why a personage so seetatigable should need an annual He _ thinks, however, that the Prince of Darkness, with all cares for the undoing of man thrown to the winds, may be disporting himself on some other planet, as gleeful as a schoolboy playing hooky.

as the Newport of all fashionable fiends. On the other hand, says Dr. Ilgen, the Devil may solace himself with all the comforts of hell, which, consider- ing his industry on earth, he can rarely find time to visit. He may consume a portion of the summer, theorizes Dr. Ilgen, in delicious doz- ing on a bed of burning asphaltum, canopied by flames; while servile gnomes, armed with blazing fans, di- rect upon his face refreshing blasts from the Brimstone Lake. Or he might gratify his pride bv a reunion of all the devils, and fulfill the sublime vision of Milton, when millions of fiends, obeying the scepter of their King, soared upon the lurid air, or covered the flaming billows of the infernal sea and the scorching marl, as thick as autumn leaves. Devil in History. In addition, says Dr. Ilgen, there is Biblical as well as literary warrant for saying that the Devil may spend his vacation in—Heaven! According to Hebrew mythology, it was by no means uncommon for Satan to adven- ture into the realms of the blessed, and freely mingle, a sinister and scof- fing figure, with the shining ones about the Throne. On such occasions he usually escaped with a rebuke of good-natured contempt from the Lord, who sometimes condescended to give him an errand to execute on earth. The Satan of the Hebrews was far remote from the malignant enemy of mankind into which he evolved in the gloomy imagination of the Middle Ages. His power was slight, as the Jews were jealous of the omnipo- tence of Jehovah. Satan could not

commit the least evil without pe, mission from the Ruler of All, whom the monotheistic Israelites preferred to make the author of both good and bad, rather than divide his reign with an opposing power. The early Satan was cynical and mischievous, and thought it a good joke to lead a virtuous man astray, not in order to doom him fo everlast- ing torments, but to corroborate his Own opinion that man, created next below the angels, was ‘really a sorry creature. Such a Satan, while proba- bly not warmly welcomed by the saints, was treated civilly and per- mitted to range about the golden streets rather much as he liked. At all events he was not thrown out, like a member of the “Bottoms Gang” from the Jefferson Club. The Book of Job states, as an oc- currence not at all out of the ordi- nary, that “Ncw there was a day when the sons of God came to pre- sent themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.” His appearance was greeted by the Lord, according to the sacred chron- icle, with the polite question of, “Whence comest thou?” Whereupon Satan replied, with some. ennui: “From going to and fro in the earth, — from walking up and down in “Hast thou considered my servant Job,” said the Lord, “that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth and escheweth evil?” But Satan only shrugged his shoul- ders wearily. “Doth Job fear God for nought?” was his cynical retort. “Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about SUNDAY ae: LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 16, © Pas aaee: oe ay a se ae. aye , a, ae f Kes Pe Pe ST ee op eee % ; oo ee Oe eS : eh i aS ee ie ig i ge A a ae Bey Sage ee ae Se

Years & convicted of any of the other six al- * Most Notable BY A LAWYER. S the greatest murder mystery of modern times to be cleared up at the coming trial of Ray Lam- phere? .Or will his trial leave the disappearance of Mrs. Gunness still ore of an enigma than it has been deer since that gray dawn last April when her house went up in smoke? Is there sufficient evidence to con- vince 12 unprejudiced jurors that Mrs. Gunness is dead and that- Lamphere killed her, or will the evidence sub- mitted by the State’s prosecutor sim- ply becloud the minds of the jury and the public and leave the vanishment of the woman slayer a more inexpli- cable puzzle than it is now? There are seven indictments against Lamphere. Four of these charge him -with the murder of Mrs. Gunness and her three children. One charges him with the murder of Andrew Helgelein, one charges that he was an ‘accessory with Mrs. Gunness in the murder of Helgelein and the seventh charges leged crimes.

The prosecution must first prove | what is known in law as the “corpus delicti,” which means “The body, substance or foundation of the of- fense,”’ which in this case is the dead body of Mrs. Gunness. Before the case against Lamphere can have any standing in court the prosecution must first prove that Mrs. Gunness is dead, and it must estab- lish this as a fact beyond doubt. If the prosecution should fail to prove this the defense would, at the end of the State’s case, file a demurrer ask- ing that the case be thrown out oi court and the prisoner discharged fo1 want of proof of the “corpus delicti.”’ The State undoubtedly has enougk evidence of the death of Mrs. Gunness to warrant the judge ir allowing the case to go to the jury.

Lamphere had a strong motive for killing Mrs. Gun- ness, her children, and the destruction of her house and al] incriminating evidence against him which it contained. 2. He had threatened to burn her house because she him for another and would give him no more money. 3.

Lamphere: was seen to follow Mrs. Gunness into a grocery the night before the murder and saw her buy the coal oil and matches. He knew where she kept them on a porch 10. There is proof that the body in the ruins was that of gold teeth identified by the dentist who put it in. jilted came

5. Lizzie Smith’s alibi testimony, that he arose at 4:30 a: m:, too late for the murder, is weakened by the fact that her alarm clock was set for 3 a. m., which would have given 6. He was seen hurrying from a grove near the Gunness home shortly before the fire broke out. said he left the Lizzie Smith the fingers and the bridge of

him with arson in the burning of the Gunness home. But an indictment is not an evi- dence of guilt. The law expressly says so. indictments are often re- turned on the merest suspicion of guilt and often simply as a means to hold a prisoner in the hope that more evidence against him may be ob- tained. The jury which goes into the box to try Ray Lamphere for his life will be instructed by the Court that the in- dictment is no evidence of guilt and that he is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reason- able bt and that this presumption of innocence accompanies the accused throughout the trial or until it is re- |) ‘moved by evidence of guilt which the . Jurors cannot in reason doubt. upon the with the testify that the bridge work found near the body in the cellar is the same. The rings found upon the hand of the dead woman will be introduced in evidence and the State will try to prove that they were hers by the en- graved initials “P. S. to J. 8.” and “P. G. to J. 8.” She went once by the name of Jennie Sorensen. Before it can prove its case the State must also show that Lamphere had a motive for the death of Mrs. Gunness.. The State will try to prove that he was very jealous of her and that she had discarded him and that he thought she kept a large sum of money in her home and wished to rob her. But the strangest theory of the State will be that Lamphere as- sisted her in the murder of Helgelein that he knew this death was to be in. vestigated, he knew the body would be found buried on the murder farm and that he would be jointly accused with Mrs. Gunness for the that if he killed her and her children ry, Y LAMPHERE

The State will attempt to prove that he said he would burn her house to “get even with her,” that he came to town the night before without good reason, and _ that he followed Mrs. Gunness into a grocery when she bought coal oil and that he knew whére she kept the oil on a porch where he could reach it easily. The State will attempt to prove that Lamphere might have slept at the home of Lizzie Smith, and yet have time to get to the Gunness house and kill them and get away. It will at- tempt to show that he was near the Gunness home soon after the fire burst forth and that he did not keep to the road in going away, but cut across fields and that he ran part of the way, going 10° miles without breakfast, a suspicious circumstance the Siate will show that Mrs. Gun- ness loved her children and will ar- gue the improbability of her — ing them and of committing suicide simply to escape prosecution for mur- der. the turn of the de- Then will come the death irst dispute or tara p Boi fg introducing numer- ous witnesses who knew her = — who viewed the dead body : “ee woman found in the ruins and who will tent hy every. way. itl ed gros upon the rings being ae admit that while the rings

and the gold bridge work might have been her’s she might have placed the body of another woman there to de- ceive the public and, in that case, she would naturally have put the rings on its finger and she might easily have taken the bridge work from her mouth and placed it there, too. The fact that the head of the woman’s body was gone will be strong evidence for the defense in casting doubt upon the identity of the body. The defense will show her motive for disappearing either by suicide or by substituting a body for her’s and then escaping in the darkness. It will prove that the day before her death she received a letter from Helgelein saying he was coming to investigate the disappearance of his brother. She had murdered that brother, his body was buried in her dooryard, she knew discovery was at hand. If she fled she could not take three children with her, that meant detec- tion, and they knew something of her crimes and might be strong’ witnesses against her. Her love for them would not keep her from killing them. She loved Jennie Olsen with equal fervor and she did not hesitate to kill her when the girl showed that she knew too much about murders in the Gun- ness house. The defense will show that the dow before’ the murders Mrs. Gunness made her will, leaving her real estate to charity, evidence that she intended to kill her children. ‘It will prove that she told that she feared Lam- phere would kill her, thus preparing the way for suspicion to be directed against him when the bodies were found, and making it easier for her to

A eee ne ee HARLES SAVAGE, the most extraordinary of negro crooks, is now enduring confinement and the prospect of a long Peniten- tiary term with such cheerful com- placency that the Kansas City au- thorities believe he is buoyed up by a subtle resolution. He is accused cf stealing a mail pouch, containing a fortune of $50,- (00, from a car standing in the Kan- sas City Union Station. After a search of three months, the Postoffice inspectors confess, with unwilling ad- miration for the cunning of their prisoner, that they have little hope of ever recovering the money. Sav- age himself, with a mocking smile, Geclares he did not steal it and has ne idea where it is hidden. He has been observed reading in his cell, with many chuckies, a clip- ping from a Denver paper, containing a story of a man who stole a quarter = & million dollars in gold from the United States assay offics in Seattle, and succeeded in hiding the loot be- fore he was captured and sent to the Penitentiary for four years.

The clerks were buried in their work. A stealthy, swift ap- proach, the flash of a tawny hand into the car, and a leather pouch for registered mail was noiselessly sepa- rated from its fellows. Opposite the mail car, a passenger train was announcing by the clamor of its bell and the shouts of its crew, that it was about to leave. The thief sprang upon the “blind baggage’’ be- hind the ‘ender, and dragged the heavily laden’ pouch with him. On the narrow platform he was dis- concerted to find two white youths, prcparing to “beat their way” to a neighboring town. But they took him for one of their tribe and helped him hold the bag in place as the trein clanked out of the yards. Abdout a mile southeast of the Rock | Island junction in Kansas City the train stopped to pick up a Pullman. SAVAGE, THE his) - Re Gm (Tr ) ; whistling benind the bars, ac is cal- culating that his sentence will not be more than five years, and that he will make $10,000 a year by going to prison. Bach Saturday night in the prison foundry he could count him- self $200 richer. Each night, as he would lie on his bunk, he could con- sole himself with the reflection that he had earned $30 since the night be- fore. It is his plan, the inspectors say, to serve cheerily any sentence he may incur, bide his time after his release in the hope of wearying out the sur- veillance he would certainly be sub- jected to, dig 1p his plunder, escape to some other country and live in ease and comfort the rest of his Hfe. The Government secret service op- eratives easily credit Savage with a resolution so ingenious and looking so far into the future, because they pronounce him the most intelligent and the wariest negro they ever ccped with. Though subjected to stern and prolonged inquisitions, he maintained his coolness and good humor unruffled. He talked voluminously, but his captors, after leaving him and cast- ing up results, found to their surprise that he had really said nothing. He avoided all traps with the greatest security, and has not permitted him- self to be surprised out of a word which would give a clew to the al- lofted hiding place of his rich booty. On the night of June 10, a mail car in which clerks route tire numerous pouches of mail, stood on a spur near the Kansas City Union Sta- tion. Several men were working within, absorbed in an unusual press : >, —N P ¥-) MSO, WER peared, Two wees iater the stolen pouch was found in the woods at this spot, It had been ripped open and ‘several regisiered packages opened, The empty bag which had con- tained, $50,000 in\currency, sent by the Farmers and Merchants’ National Bank of Los Angeles to their cor- respondent in New York, showed the unexpected luck which had fallen io the thief. After finding this treasure, he had disdained to open any other packages, and abandoned with con- tempt several thousands dollars’ worth of jewelry. Gave Away $20 Gold Pieces. By a strange trick of fate, Savage was arrested in Kansas City four hours after the: robbery, and while the inspectors were raising a hue and cry after the thief, he was coolly freeing himself in the Police Court of the charge of idling. A member of the police force sight- ed Savage strolling down the street, and observed with suspicion that he wore a $29 gold piece as a watch charm. This display of wealth seemed to the policeman to warrant an arrest, and Savage found himself held, as the stereotyped phrase is, “for investigation.” The $50,000 seemed to have been al- ready secreted, for only $257 was found in the negro’s effects. He ex- plained that he had sav i part of this from his “tips’’ as a Pullman porter, and won the rest “shooting, craps” with other porters. Held for Police Court on the charge of vagrancy, the negro sent for an at- torney to defend him. The latter said his fee would be $100, whether he cleared the client or failed. Savage objected. “I'll pay you $200 to save me from the Workhouse and nothing if you lose the case.” The lawyer agreed. Judge Kyle heard the case and dis- The negro, uneasy in the presence of his companions, started to clamber to the roof of the baggage car. As his head and shoulders peered above the eaves, the cngineer spied him and called to him to get down. The negro threw the bag to the ground and took a long leap after it, picking himself up unhurt. As he ran into the darkness the engineer shied a lump of coal at him which Struck him on the head, with disas- trous results to the coal only, for the negro merely ran the faster. A missed Savage for want of sufficient evidence to convict him, with a warn- ing to leave town as fagt as he could. The negro paid the $200 fee as if such a sum were a bagatelle to him, and bestowed his $20 watch charm With a careless wave of the hand uyon a desk sergeant «ho had ex- pressed admiration for it. He caught the first train for Denver. The cha- grin of the police at having let such a prize slip through their hands can be imagined, as the Postoffice Depart- It was the reputation of Savage as &@ mail pouch robber that lead to his capture seven weeks later. When he was a janitor in the Postoffice at Salt Lake City, he rifled a mail bag and served a term in the Peniten- tiary. Soon after h‘s release he com- mitted a similar robbery at Seattié and served three years on McNeill’s Island. He was arrested in Kansas City just a year after his discharge. Bo*h of.these robberies were of small amounts, not enough to tempt aim to iry to secret them. The Chief United States Postoffice Inspector at Kansas City, W. J. Vick- ery, @8 800m as he was convinced that the missing mail bag had not been inisrouted, but stolen, took to the police his rogues’ gallery of mail pouch robbers, to learn whether any of them had been seen recently in Kansas City. If the police recognised Savage as their recent guest, mortifi- cation prevented them from _ say- ing so. But Judge Kyle had a more service- able memory, and quickly picked out the picture of Savage as that of the negro whom he hed given “hours” to leave the city. A day or so later, one of the young tremps who rode with the robber on the “blind Daggage,’’ learned of the robbery and wrote to the police from S* Louis what he and his companion had witnessed on the night it oc- curred. His description of the mys- terious negro perfectly fitted Savage, whom the youth has since identified in Jail. ’ Spent Money in St. Louis. Vickery was now certain of the icentity of the culprit. But Savage ted fled from Kansas City, and tre country ‘s full of cities in which 2 negro with his pockets full of spend- able money could find refuge. A week later the police of Denver notified Vickery that Savage was in that city, spending money lavishly, and inquired if he were wanted for any recent robbery. Before Vickers could reply the wary negro had van- ished. As he flitted about from one part of the*country to another, St. Louis received two visits from him. His $50 suits, his diamonds, his silk shirts and fleshy “roll” made him the lion o° a certain negro element in the city. Between visits here, he so- journed briefly in Washington, D. C., New York, Boston and Chicago. He was having the time of his life. His tongue learned the tang of cham- pagne and the opulence of pate de fol gras. He had an expensive suit of clothes for every day in the week. "cor some reason they were not gaudy in pattern, but were made of the fiayst cloth by skillful tailors, He rode again in Pullman cars, but this time not as a porter. Only silk- en underwear would his skin endure. Fine hotels in New York, some of “hich do not draw. the color line, knew him as a proéfgy—a negro with a bank roll of real money. For seven weeks the heyday of his life continued undisturbed, and then. ‘hough he knew a price was on his Lead, he allowed himself to be drawn back to Kansas City, the scene of the robbery, by his fondness for a dusky girl. He was arrested _ in her house the morning after he arrived. It is calculated that he spent $2000 in the seven weeks he was at large He had $25 when arrested. (jInaccounted for there remains nearly $48,000. The most minute search of all the houses and places which Savage is known to or might have visited since -the robbery, has not revealed oe buried treasure. To all questions on the sub- ject he responds with his mocking smile, and quizzically remarks: “I don’t know anything about it.” Several women and men, his friends, have been arrested in differ- ent cities, but have convinced the authorities that they, too. were pre- vented by the suspicions of the negro from participating in his secret. All they knew was that whenever his money ran low he knew where to find pienty more. His baggage, consisting of several now trunks and a dozen suit cases, was seized and searched. Nothing was found, but several dozens of un- worn suits, a few silver toilet sets and some diamonds. ~~ ** . ‘ * an | Other prisoners in the Jall com- plain that sometimes, in the dead of night, they are awakened by chuckles and guffaws of laughter proceeding from the negro’s cell. At such times, according to the inspectors, he is en- joying the big joke he intends play- ing on society five or six years hence. Gave a $50 Tip. When he was arraigned before John M. Nuckols, United States Comm's- sioner and charged with the crime, his bond was set at $6000. The negro preferred? confinement while awaiting trial to intrusting to any friend and jeopardizing his undivided possession of the fortune with which it is claimed he is planning to gild his way through life after serving his sentence, if one is imposed. When asked where he got the mon- ey to finanfce his recent splurge in the East, the negro replied, with a laugh, that he made it “shooting craps.” It was learned that Savage, on- once entering a Boston hotel, compelled a white porter to carry his multitudl- nous luggage. The sensation of hav- ing a white man working for him so affected the negro that he tipped the porter $50. On another occasion he tipped. bellboy $5 for preparing him a bath Many of his women friends reestved diamonds as gifts from nim. “After questioning Savage,” says Mr. Vickery, “and observing his wary evasions and adroit answers, I be-’ lieve that he is either one of the most remarkable negroes I ever saw, or that he had instructions from some crafty lawyer. It may be that in an- ticipation of arrest, he sought legal advice. He couldn't be trapped in any of his answers. “He will not admit the theft, and we have lost hope that he will tell us where the money is. If we prove un- able to find it ourselves, we shell have to wait several years until he finishes the term he will inevitably get, and then shadow him so closely that when he goes to dig it up we shall be right at his heels.” The Negro’s Ready Wit. From Savage's confident demeanor, he has no doubt as to the issue of this duel of the future. It would be his delight, the inspectors say, to deceive them with a multitude of false clews aud slip off with the money while they were digging for it some place far away. Savege is 33 years old and was born in Colorado. His mother still lives in Denver. He is nearly 6 feet tall and massively buiflt.

The village, which had only 700 inhabitants when female suffrage came to pass in the State, has taken on a new lease of life through the public-spirited activity of its women. Not content with individual voting at the polls, they have now organized 80 as to mass their strength. They have formed themselves into an as- scciation unique in the West—a Woman's Commercial Club, which is responsible for almost every improve- ‘Ment that has been made in Lander since it was organized, two years aro. Women Defeat a Mayor. - The ballot is the weapon with bors which they fight their battles. If a city officer to comply with their recommendations they band to- gether and see to it, at the next elec- tion, that he is retired to private life, and his place filled by some one pledged to be more amenable. Recently jhey attacked the saloon rroblem in Lander. There were grog feas, at which gossip was neglected for politics; church festivals wers turned into indignation meetings against the hapless official, a petti- coat campaign was waged, husbands and sweethearts were wheedled, and at the end, the Mayor found himself buried under such a snow of ballots that he has not been able to dig him- self out since into the open air of public life. Last winter the women, who al- Ways have a keen eye for esthetic needs, decided that a future metropo- lis like Lander was stale, flat and unprofitable without a public park, with lots of trees, flowers and cozy nooks. They appealed to the Town Council to purchase a tract near the edge of the village. “The city’s too poor,” was the re- ply. “We haven’t the :noney and can’t get it.” Refused to Pay Liquor Bills. “But we can,” retorted the spirited women, and they did. They raised $100, which they paid in cash as earnest money for the tract. The re- mainder, $3100, they have collected almost to the last cent, and have do- »ated the park to the town to havo and to hold forever. It is felt that a town is not a town until it can boast a red brick office building of three or four stories in which to house thé bank, the Post- office and all lawyets and physicians who practice in its limits. Lander was without this evidence of prog- ress, and its women were heartbrok- en over the superiority in that re- spect of some of their rival neigh- “It’s just too mean for anything that we can’t have an office bufld- ing,” sighed some of the fair citizens. “We can have one if we want hg replied others, More resolute. As a result a campaign is now on to raise funds for a building of four stories, with offices and stores below and a home for the club itself on the third shops on nearly every corner, but floor the town's revenue from them all was orly $800, which was applied to the school fund.

With all the instincts and natura! enthusiasms for right in 50,000 wom- en, organized by politics into a fly- ing wedge, and hurled against the “Big Cinch,” the House combine, the Lighting Trust and the saloons, what chance would these St. Louis evils have? Struck with strange terrors, they would probably capitulate to woman, as man has always done. The Hon. Francis Xavier Hussey, whose gladiatorial endowments have made him king in a ward overrun by the “Bottoms Gang,” wouldg never gurvive another election, if the wom- en in his bailiwick had their say, and his pugilistic figure would be con- spicuous in the House of Delegates by its absence. The decent men in bis ward have tolerance enough to believe they dis- cern beneath the avoirdupoise of the big Delegate a certain rude ability and wit. “If he were defeated a worse might easily come into his place,” they soothe their consciences by saying. “Besides, he never goes back on a friend.” nis last praise, to man, offsets nearly every fault. But in how different a light would the leader of the combine appear to the women! “He’s been arrested 44 times for fighting in saloons,” they would shrill, all their teachings in gentle- ness and respectability up in arms. “He is the most familiar figure in the \" oN NY) YO police courts of St. Louis. He cp- erates a saloon one a loups- ing place for politicians. end City Father! Swamp him at the” polls!”’ ie arguments would spell the political demise of the Hon, Franx Hussey. In time, it is considered possible that the majority of the House of Delegates would be women. If one of the lady delegates were convicted of bribery—perish the ungallant thought —ghe would not dare attend every meeting, as Delegate Warner {6 now doing, and cast her vote on meagsures importantly affecting the city. Wom- en, severe upon the faults of men, are ruthless toward the failings of each other. The erring Delegate would be shrieked out of the chamber on her first appearance there. Women and the ‘‘Big Cinch." The only combine, say advocates of female suffrage, would be @ combine for civic decency and honesty, against corruption and bribery; 4 combine in gealousness for the public good, not for the spoliation of the public. If the women decided to take @ tilt at the “Big Cinch,” which, it is claimed, holds the public utilities of St. Louis in its clutch, what would become of it? Women act in flery haste in reform, not being indolent and eas ing like men. tn egg indignation at the extor- tions practiced by the Lighting Trust, the Gas Trust and the Terminal Trust, the feminine voters would, it ia claimed, rally spontaneously to the si lig \\ SOUS Such a men - polls and forever incapacitate the monopolies for harm to the public. Indeed, the trusts would be fortunate if the women, in the heat of their zeal, did not exterminate them by voting for public ownership of pub- lic utilit‘es. Passing a mere public utilities bill would require about five minutes of the stateswomen’s time. St. Louls saloon keepers are “groaning” under what they call the “Czardom” of Excise Commissioner Mulvihill, who can close any saloon he feels like descending upon, and from whose judgments there is no appeal but to the Governor, who ap- pointed him. But what if a woman were Excise Commissioner? Would not the fair antagonist of the liquor evil find some means of closing every saloon and expelling the “Demon Rum” boots and baggage from the city ? Not satisfied with purifying the Augean stables of city politics, would not the women enter with fervor upon the creation of a City Beau- tiful? They would, it is believed, enact or- dinances to raze the loathsome dens which infest the Levee and now give all visitors from the river a con- temptuous opinion of the city. In ec onow.

Mrs. Phoebe Townsend of Dodge, Neb., is the woman. She has been married 14 times within the span of her 60 years of life. This is believed to be the record from the time when marriage records were ever kept—at least in this country. And just now marriage No. 14 is on the verge of being broken. Anthony W. Townsend, this much-married matron’s latest spouse, has brought suit for divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. Several weeks ago he left his home in Dodge, declaring that never again could he be a husband to Mrs. Townsend, even should the courts fail to give him his decree. But that is only a drop in the sea of Mrs. Townsend's matrimony. She has nine husbands alive, five under the sod. Of the nine, eight were divorced by her; the nintn, in his turn, geeks divorce. The other five—like lucky Jim of the comic song—died before anything happened except the call of the Reaper. . Wife, mother, widow—all before she was 14— was Mrs. Townsend’s first lot in life. But, of eourse, she wasn’t Mrs. Townsend then, but Mrs. Joseph Zoover, wifé of a Colorado miner. As ‘Phoebe Mills she married him soon after she had turned 13. Zoover died and a child was born all before she was 14. . Then came other husbands, and. more and more and more, until when, as Mrs. Charles Hen- shy, this much-married and remarkable woman became Mrs. Townsend seven months ago she had rolled up a store of 14 in all, some in their graves, but the other nine now scattered all over the United States, from Massachusetts to California. During this period so frequently did she change her name that Mrs. Townsend herself frankly admits that her memory is a little shaky offhand now as to names and dates. Fortunately, she has kept everything in order in a notebook for ready reference. This is the list of husbands in the order in which she was married to them: Joseph Zoover, Charles E. Ewing, John J. Suits, C. H: Scott, Philip Moomaw, Charles Hitchcock, D. C. Bigford, George W. W. Smith, Henry Straw, Jesse Luman, Thomas Birchell, ¥F THERE is any woman in all these broad

BY IRVIN 5S. COBB HERE was a long piece in the paper about the meteoric rise of a famous cotton spec- ulator who had come to the city without a cent and after a few years had been able to fail in such a manner as to owe nearly everybody he knew large sums of money. The Hotel Clerk read the account through carefully. “Say, Larry,” he remarked at length to the House Detective of the St. Reckless, ‘‘d’ye re- member that nursery yarn they used to tell us in childhood’s happy hour about the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse?” “Come to think about it, I believe I do,” said the House Detective, “that is if it’s the one about the Town Mouse goin’ to see the Country Mouse and knockin’ the place on account of it bein’ so dull and dead, but when the Country Mouse went to visit the other one in the city he seen so many traps, and plain clothes cats and things like that layin’ ’round waitin’ for him that he was blamed glad to beat it back to squash jungles.” “The same pleasing selection,” affirmed the Hotel Clerk. “And it just goes to show what I was saying the other day: The late Aesop and those other literary parties who wrote the fables may have had the correct formula at the time, but they are certainly singing off the key for present use.” “As to how?” asked the House Detective. “Well, take this Town Mouse and City Mouse classic for example,” said the Hotel Clerk. “Larry, | since I came to this large burg I’ve met more * than eleven million of these Town Mice, and I fee] that I’m in a position to give you the cor- rect facts in regards to the case. We'll assume that our particular Town Mouse was born here, because then the symptoms of the disease are apt to be more typical than if he moved in and caught it. From his Knickerbocker ancestry he inherits a middle name like a downtown street and enough cash reserve to enable him to live without prolonged mental strain. So he goes to Harvard, graduating eighty-fourth in a class of 85, and after that nothing particular happens until his death, when the Sun gives him one if its native New Yorker two-line obituaries stating that deceased was born in 1862, joined the Union League Club and will be buried tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 from the family residence, on Fifth avenue. Palm Beach and Newport papers please copy. P “As long as he stays at home and takes on age and flesh in the regular way, which is main- ly done by sitting in a club window of afternoons in a row along with a troupe of other trained Pomeranian clubmen, all with the little tufts under their ears neatly trimmed and their paws up, he doesn’t attract any considerable attention.

It’s when he invades the bosky dells of the in- terior United States that he begins to sort of fluff out and get weighty below the Plimsoll’s. The woods are full of these human snowballs from New York that get bigger the further they roll from the place where they started.’ “The town where he goes to give the peasantry a taste of pleasure is often one of those places that got shoved up a siding in its early youth and never found its way back to the main line. But even at that it’s doing pretty well, consider- ing the climate and the difficulty which the suburbs have trying to keep from looking like farm land. It has in its midst at least one lead- ing citizen who went to a banquet at Fort Wayne once, where they had a watermelon with real champagne wine at $2 a bottle poured in through the plug and served the coffee after they got through eating instead of along with. There are several others of social standing who are wise to the fact that a dinner coat*is not necessarily one that can be taken off easily just before sit- ting down to the table. The wealthier. citizens are often seen to smoke a noble 10-cent cigar called the Andy Jackson brand on account of being full of old hickory, with a gilt band around it just the same as if it came from Havana, Cuba. There has been a debut party where a regular city caterer furnished the brick ice cream and fully $18 worth of imported mustard greens was wrapped around the chandelier. “To be sure, the annual engagement of the Bes- sie Hopkins Stock Company, with a change of bill. every night and a get of plush furniture and a silver card receiver given away on Saturday night to the lady and gentleman holding the winning coupons, is reckoned, as a gay week, and one teplete with box parties and theater suppers. Also boiled custard and chocolate layer cake have more or less of a lead on Camembert and yel- low Chartreuse for finishing off the heavy meal of the day, but, as I say, they still manage to do quite well in their simple urban way. Eight blocks of main street has been paved with brick and there is talk of one family going abroad next fall. “But not for:a holy second would it do for the Town Mouse to seem. to be pleased with any- thing. If he was ever caught looking satisfied the, By-Hecks might not know he was a regular New Yorker. So he calls the snuff-colored sec- ond waiter at ‘he Palace Hotel garcon’ and then wears a look of real pain on his face when in- formed that the latter answers only to the name of Roscoe. After eating his way through a line of food that would keep a poor family two dhys, he pushes his chair back and regrets in an audi- ble tone of voice that outside of Sherry’s and

It is a waltz, slow and langurous as music can be made, its measures striking, as it were, incandescent sparkles in the currents of the blood. “Up to this time, the dancers’ choice of partners has been haphaz- a‘ ard.

All the lights go out except one. It doesn’t give much light, amd you can’t see your partner's face. The fellows all ‘spoon’ during the dance, because, unless you get in the light, no one can tell whether they Kiss you or not.” Another dance which has fallen “On either side the shadows are into disfavor, though it was the

Among those received was the following: “Wanted—Young man in jail wants t) get out; suggestions solicited that might result in immediate release; wants poet's address who wrote: bet oy = do not a pha make, ron 8 a cage.

It was performed by men and women as partners. First they glide towards each other. Then the girl recedes coquettishly and the beau eagerly follows, in rep- resentation of man’s eternal pursuit. At last they clasp. All their motions are instinct with tremulous, lux- urious grace. One of the most sensational dances was seen in New York a few days ago, when an actress appeared in a measure which she called “The Re- morse of Salome,’ though her gyra- tions expressed anything but contri- tion. She wore a yard of spangled tulle as a skirt, and several yards of strin ris for sole covering above The serpentine cadences which she coiled and wove her supple limbs and body held the audi in a state of as to whether she was not about to slough her skin of pearls. e Members of the clergy have asked the police to investigate “La Sylphe,” as she calls herself. The Devil Dance of Hayti. A dance that was first brought io this country during the World's Fair in Ch was the “Dance Du Ven- tre,” or “Couchee couchee” as it was popularily called. It achieved its greatest notoriety when “Little Egypt,” an actress, danced it upon a table at the famous Seeley dinner in ‘ New York. This dance has been preached against and denounced innumerable times ahd was suppressed and driven from the stages. The “Can Can” is a famous Paril- sian dance but little known in this country.

wa seg i ERB HAT the beauty of St. Louis women, for which the city has long enjoyed fame, is not an idle boast, is again proved by the accempanying portraits of entrants in the Sun- day Post-Dispatch Business Women’s Beauty Contest.
