STA “FAIRs GROUNDS, Muinn., Aug. 31+-Republican extravagance in he administration of: thé. National and 3tate governments was attacked this sfternoon in @ speech here by William. J.

Scores Billion Dollar’ Congress, “The Democratic platform makes Re- oublican extravagance ono of the issues of the present campaign,” said Mr. Bryan. ‘The. Republican platform is si- lent on the subject and naturally so; to - ave promised economy would have been mockery and to have defended the ap- yropriations made by the last Congress would have been impossible. “The Fifty-first Congress was com- monly called the billion-dollar ’Congress. The appropriations made by that Con- gress covered two years, amounting for the first time to a billion dollars, or five hur.dred million dollars a year. The ex- travagance of that Congress contributed to the overwhelming victory won by the Democrats in the campaign of 1890. “The last Congress, however, has made a new record in extravagance.

S., of the London Hospital, was. right when he said that oxygen is a great accelerator, It makes athletes beat their best pre- vious records, and a person who inhales it can’t keep from hustling. Preparations for testing its efficiency are being made here. A’ wagon contain- ing three large tanks backed up to the Liggett Building Monday.

Before starting each of the Musketeers will take a swig from his tank. The oxygen, which greatly in. creases Capacity for work, will take ef- fect at once and the task will naceme easy. On arriving at the City Hall the Mus- keteers will push their way into the office of the Mayor and turn the oxy- gen hose on him. ' Under its influence he will jump right up, slap on his hat, run down to the foot of Chouteau avenue and commence work on the Free Bridge. If there is any oxygen left in the tanks it will be given President O’Reilly of the Board of Public Improvements. When Jimmy McAleer, manager of the Browns, returned from the East Monday he got busy with the city directory and the telephone books. He found the name of a big firm of mafiufacturing chemists and called it up. “Send out five cases of oxygen,’’ he said. “I want crown tops and don’t forget to send along half a dozen open- ers. Get it out to tne park in time for ‘the afternoon's game with the White Sox.’ Now, perhaps, when Criss is sent in to bat for somebody his “capacity for work”’ will be increased. The builders of the new Coliseum and of the Public Library have not yet taken the oxygen treatment. The con- signment intended for them was deliv- ered by mistake at the Mayor’s hole-in- the-ground at Broadway and Olive street and, lo, a skyscraper has al- ready sprouted there. When the use of oxygen as an ac- celerator becomes general the Sunday lid will have no terrors for St. Louis. Oxygen shops-will take the place of the lid clubs.

Why sit we here and wait?’ “If you but stopped to think, you would not ask the question,” replied Athos. “You know full well we bide the coming of the great Knight, Sir Andreas Hofer O'Reilly.” | “Ho, for v'’Reilly,’’ cried Aramis. “'Tig well: enough to ho for O’Reil- ly, but waat will he do when he comes?” asked the matter-of-fact Pro- thos. ‘Will he show us how to build the bridge?’ Not How, but Where. “Nay, but he will show us WHERE TO BUILD IT,” quoth Aramis. “And how long must we sit idly here and await his coming?’”’ “One more night we fare this place and when tomorrow’s sun lights yon- der’ beetling gas tank O’Reilly will be here.”’ After they had partaken of their fru- gal meal Porthos sat over against the soap factory and polished his sword.

Far to the north—even as far as the foot of the Rue de Salisbury—they saw men busily working on the sufface of the mighty river. These men swarmed to and fro on a great box-like hulk, driving nails, tying ropes and carrying huge timbers. Then of @ sudden all the men jumped from the hulk, which sank »ereath the current, causing thé water to splash to a great height, “By my sword,” cried Porthos. “We have been idling here in vain.

EAST WARSHIPS 10 BE BUILT argueri ite Martyn Scores the Herrick - Writers for Half Truths About Women YoU HAVE N’T CAUGHT “UP WIT KER YET, NTR. MERRIER. No one has been heard to cry for mer- cy. One is a little anxious, though, to know why these authors with their pas- sions for realism do not tell the whole truth. One of the most forcible argu- ments they use is that of comparing the present generation with the past. In- deed, there-isn’t one of these authors, no matter how lacking in chivalry, who will admit that the women of his moth- er’s age were anything but virtuous, J flect upon their purity of mind or soul or purpose. So they may have been perfect. Little has been re- corded because in “the good old days,” where those writers never miss an op- portunity to refer to, there were no newspapers with hourly editions, nor penny magazines nor popular novels every week to be filled with ordinary occurrences. And therein is the safety of this argument. Of course there are grandmothers to- day whom we might ask, but memory grows faulty with old age. If it were possible to pierce the gla- morous veil which lends enchantment to all distant times and drag forth a maid or a young matron of yesterday, there’s no telling but that she might have as racy a story to tell as these new au- thors are at such pains to invent. One of the Herrick reasons for the heedlessness of the woman of today is that she lives too rapidly. Admittedly she is very busy. Never since the hal- cyon days of Greece have athletic sports been so fashionable. Never have wom- en generally been so inclined toward cul- tivating intellect. Never before have ‘we even tried to keep pace with the men in activity. ITTLE is recorded which would re- * the proverbial ‘“‘mischief for idle hands’ has the less chance. Some of Mr. Herrick’s fiercest derision is directed at the narrow hips of the women of now. Would he have us re- turn to knitting and spinning, the only recreation possible with the squeezed- in waist which accompanied the voiu- minous hips of the old-fashioned won- an? Unfortunately, there are women today who sit about supping tea and growinz stout—and, strange coincidence, there are women who find no amusement more refreshing than lionizing a new and dashing artist er literary man. But aren’t these rocking chair habitues the very ones who pride themselves upon the fact that aged are not “new wom- en?” Ao the prove We are very busy. Then shoulders, is moving so rapidiy that Mr. Herrick hasn’t in the least caught up with her. And if her shoulders are broader physically there is no reason why she shouldn't be broad. er, stronger, finer in the metaphorical application. The reputation of this genération of women may suffer at the hands of these Gross-grained critics, bu® no more than mankind has Suffered at the hands of women in the past, .shall the future suffer from the real character of the ‘ee modern girl, she of the broad If this isn’t true, let us at least hear some of the truth about the women who have been producing this faulty generation. One grows weary of the constant refefence to the “geod, old days” and the scorn with which the “modern tendency” Is observed.

Tyson kept right on after running | dow Gunderson, put up his machine | at the Park avenue garage and then went to the flat of Virginia Laurence, a chorus -irl, in Ninety-second street. There, according to the story she told afterward, he told her all about waat had happened, but pledged her to se- crecy. The members of the Columbia Yacht Club employed detective Charles F. Berry to find out who had run over and killed their steward. Berry found the Laurence girl and later, with her aid, managed to get LIlenry T. Fox, who was in the car with Tyson at the time of the accident, to tell wh:. he knew about it. Fox, who lives in Stamford, said yes- terday that Tyson had introduced him to the chorus girl last February and that later she had talked to him about the automobile accident and had told him that Tyson had confessed all about it to her. “But she went to Chicago last April,’ said Fox, “and up to that time had kept the secret for Tyson. Later the detect- ives got her to make a clean breast of what Tyson had confessed to her, but she probably would never had said any- thing if Tyson had not married Miss Grace Ethel Starr in May. That the girl was angry and jealous I have no doubt. A short time ago I got a letter from her. Here it is.” Fox produced the letter and the follow- ing is a copy of it: “Dear Henry—I have just returned from Chicago, where I have been work- ing in a show all summer, and I am now busy rehearsing with Cohan’s new show at the Gaiety Theater. I am awfully anxious to see you, dear. I never said much about it, but I always liked my Henry boy pretty well. I'm awfully sorry I was so mean to John, and I’m sure I never would have done as I did, only I cared for him and was‘ sagry at the time.

BURCLARS IN MEYER HOME Postmiaster-General and His Wife Lose Jewelry Worth Many Thousand Dollars. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HAMILTON, Mass., Aug. 31.—Jewels valued at several thousand dollars, the property of Postmaster-General and ure/ George von L. Meyer were stolen from their palatial summer home in this town last evening \ hile the family was at dinner. The robbery was discovered by Mr. Meyer, who immediately started a secret investigation in the hope of re- covering the jewels, some of which were collected by him and Mrs. Meyer while he was Ambassador at the Italian and Russian courts. Among the articles stolen are a set of rare and valua dle black pearls the size of a pea, a large diamond set in a pin, a diamond necklace and a box con- taining Mrs. yer’s personal jewels, which are priceless on account of their associations. So much was t ken that it was impossible last night for Mr. Meyer to make up a complete list, and airs. Meyer was so overcome that she could not enumerate and describe her missing jewels It is thought that the thieves gained entrance through a :econd-story window at the back of the house and so quickly and noiselessly did they work that none of the family or the servants on the floor below noticed the slightest un- usual sound. It is the theory of Mr. Meyer that the burglars used an automobile, for while the members of‘the family were at dinner they heard one on the road- way below the hor which sets back a corsiderable distance from the main for Shirt MALI Mya falta Hy 1 2 oC fe AAA Double Gold Stamps Tomorrow 04 Prices for One Day Only They're Revular 5,00 Value !

The demand from those cities where Van Camp’s is known often exceeds our sup- ply. This demand begins slowly in each new city. People are hard to convince. Then a few people try it; then those Nothing But Milk. Van Camp’s is simply rich, Holstein milk with two-thirds the water a rated. It is not like condensed milk, which is half sugar.

But when you do buy it you will work harder than we to see that your friends don’t go longer without it. And you'll be sorry you waited so long. Make Your + Milk Dishes With Whole Milk. You don’t get the whole milk when you buy from the milkman. The reason is this: Milk that stands awhile separates. The butter fat rises and the solids fall. So you get all the butter. fat only when served from the top of the can. Thus you are surprised, when you first cook with Van Camp’s, at the delicious flavor it gives to a milk dish. You won- der what we have added—what we have done—to make the milk seem so good. We have added nothing at all. Van Camp’s is simply the whole, rich milk, just as it comes from the,cow. You get all of-the butter fat, all of the solids. You never get them all in raw milk. That flavor: belongs to your cooking. You will get it every time in milk dishes made with Vab Camp’s. We issue a Cook Book—free: “Ft télls how to make all‘ sorts of milk, dishes, and gives the whole cost of each. Ask us to send it to you. . It’s Economical. » Van Camp’s—with all of its ness—is cheaper than milkman’s milk, It’s as thick as thick cream, ‘So thick that you add one part water for coffee. Yet it doesn’t cost half what you pay your milkman for cream. _Add two parts water and you haye rich milk. The cost of such milk, when you buy Van Camp’s by the case, runs about six cents per quart. Then you have no waste—no milk left over. That saving in a year is enormous. And Van Camp’s means a. cow in your kitchen. Rich milk or cream alw:ys on tap. And always fresh—always the same. Yet such milk, in such shape, costs you actually less than raw milk bought as you want it, No Germs—No Danger. _ But the great fact about Van Camp’s is the fact that it’s germless milk.

A breach of promise suit is likely to be the outcome of the bashfulness which caused bashful 38-year-old Elmer Haw- kins of West Alton to desert 18-year- old Bilen Hauff, almost in the shadow of the marriage altar at St. Charles Friday.

~~ es By Leaved Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Jack Lonfion, who has been put in the nature-faker class by President Roosevelt, has writ- ten an article for this week’s issue of Collier’s Weekly, in which he says: “President Roosevelt tried and con- demned me on two counts. (1) I was guilty of having a big, fighting bulldog whip a wolf dog. (2) I was guilty of allowing a lynx to kill a wolf dog in a pitched battle. “Regarding the second count, Presi- dent Roosevelt was wrong in his field observations. He must have read my story hastily, for in my story I had the wolf dog kill the lynx. Not only did I have my wolf dog kill the lynx, but I ;

BASHFUL BACHELOR AND GIRL WHO MADE LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL

A breach of promise suit is likely to be the outcefne of the bashfulness which caused bashful 38-year-old Elmer Haw- kins of West Alton to desert 18-year- old Bilen Hauff, almost in the shadow of the marriage altar at St. Charles Friday. ; Oakley elin of West Alton, a cousin of "Miss.Havuff, visited Alton Monday; He said he was in search of a lawyer to file suit against Hawkins in the name of Miss Hauff. “The family is cf the opinion,’ said Mdelin, “that bashfulness and timidity is no reason for Mr. Hawkine’ backing out of his promise to marry my cousin. So we want him sued. I don't know what damages will be asked. I can't say until I have discussed the matter with an attorney.” Got a Leap Year Proposal. Hawkins promised to wed Miss Hauff as the result of a Leap-Year proposal made by the young woman twc wees ago, He thought he wanted to marry her at first, he said, but after.she had arranged for the wedding and taken him to St. Charles with her his coprage failed. He was asked if he ever woulc marry her. ‘Maybe I will and maybe I won't,” he ‘marriage is a very, very seri- replied. I, expect it will be a long LLllER HAWHINS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—The mother of Capt. Peter C. Hains and T. Jenkins Hains is willing to take the stand in an effort to save her boys. She is particu- larly anxious to do something for Capt. Hains, who is her favorite son and who, she believes, has been mentally af- fected for some time. The captain is said to have endeared himself to his mother by saving his father’s life during the Porto Rican campaign. Gen. Hains was on Gen. Miles’ staff during the invasion of Porto Rico and it was there that his son saved his life according te a story told today by Joseph Shay, one of the at- torneys for the Hains brothers. Mrs. Hains, who is quite feeble, was sc overcome by the tragedy that she has not seen her sons since the killing of Annis. But she has arranged to go to the Long Island City Jail this week for an interview. She has told her friends that she has long feared that her son would kill- Annis as she be- lieved his mind had been weakened by brooding on his troubles. Brother Denies’ Responsibility. T.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Jack London, who has been put in the nature-faker class by President Roosevelt, has writ- ten an article for this week’s issue of Collier's Weekly, in which he says: “President Roosevelt tried and con- demned me on two counts.

The latest instance comes out ' of Justice Martin Moore’s court from which a notice was sent to a debtor so worded as to give the impression that the only way to evade judg- ment and its troublesome consequences is to pay the bill. Ths wording with the signature of the justice ‘s calculated to ‘deceive and frighten the ignorant and thus force them to pay Dills re- gardiess of the justice of the charge. The im- propriety of this method of attempting to force the payment of bills right or wrong by fright- ening the persons against whom claims are held with the threat of judicial power, is manifest and a way skould be found to stop it. ' — Oe a — HISTORY MADE IN CHICAGO. The Chicage School Board ,has settled a ques- tion which has puzzled historians, lawyers and churchmen for 375 years. 4 Had Pope Clement power to grant King VIII a divorce from Catherine of Aragon? In Cheney’s short history of England there is a paragraph which seems to countenance the theory that Pope Clement had the power but wouldn't exercise it for political reasons. The Board abjected and the book has been revised. The Pope had no such power in the Board's opin- ion and the children of Chicago will not be taught any such false history. It ie gratifying to know that one of the great moot questions of ecclesiastical law and history is finally and authoritatively settled. The great lawyers, canonists and historians haven’t been able to agree. But the Chicago School Board ktiows. And what the Chicago School Board knows must be written into history. Clud ladies who are interested in Henry ‘and Catherine, Blizabeth and Mary. Qucen of Scots, ‘88 Josephine and other eminent ladies will! be especially pleased to know the real truth of _ this matter.

As a supervisor of Iowa art, Mr. Legoe is firm adgainst ‘ne classical. Mises - Bheets is equally firnr in supporting it.

It emphasizes the in- teresting contrast in the temperaments, gifts and personalities of the two leading candidates. Mr. Taft is a practical man of affairs, cool, diplomatic, good-humored but without’ much initiative, Imagination or magnetism. His ser- vice on the bench and in administrative affairs has debarred him from the practice of oratory. His speeches are discursive and savor ‘more of the lawyer’s brief and the judicial opinion than the tribune’s appeal. On the other hand, Mr. Bryan has imagina- tion, fervor, magnetism. Richly endowed with the natural gifts of oratory he is trained by prac- tice in ali the arts of debate -nd appeal. He has initiative and original force. His utterances giow with enthusiasm and earnestness. He adorns the direct subject with the flowers of fancy and the charm of apt illustration. He is sympathetic and idealistic. a Presidential campaigns develop oratorical pow- ers in presidential candidates. The issues at stake and the large field of controversy, with its tre. mendous forces ranged in battle, «tir the emotions and imagination bringing out the best that is in any man who has the responsibility of leader- ship. Mr. Taft will gain in effectiveness as an orator, but he cannot hope to catch up with his adversary who enters the arena with an extraor- dinary natural gift trained to the highest plane of skill. It is a contest of the raw amateur with the expert professional. But the contrast in the two men fits the con- trast in the methods of their campaigns. Mr. Taft has back of him a compact, disciplined, pow- erful organization, amply supplied with money and directed by the craftiest and shrewdest politi- clans in the country. His campaign will be conducted with business-like precision, industry, calculation and skill. Mr. Bryan’s organization is loose, undisciplined, ragged. Many of its lead- ers are raw recruits. The munitions of war are uncertain. At every point he must depend upon his own appeal to the people for money, organi- zation and action. Mr. Bryan.needs great advan- tage in the presentation of his cause. It is the only practical advantage in the means of cam- paigning that he has over his opponent. All the other points of advantage are on the side of Mr. Taft. Mr. Bryan’s bank deposit issue pains the Re- publican orators who have to follow their can- didate’s lead. They are writhing in agony to think that a Republican didn't think of it first. a i i i PAYING DEBTS. A correspondent who “expects to go in debt for $1500,” writes ask when he will be able to pay it off. Tie family saving is $5 a month. On the given statement of facts the payment of the debt is doubtful and it is difficult to see how it can be contracted. However, it appears there is a son who earns $6 a week which nets the family $4.50 a week after the boy pays car fare and gets a lunch occasionally. Here is the answer. If the boy is a good son he will earn a little more next year and more the year after. In the natural course he will earn enough in a few years to keep up the interest and, if he does not merry, or lose his health, he may extinguish the principal. The letter is accepted as written in good faith and the answer is given on the same term’. The case is peculiar but perhaps there are others like it these hard times. The best course, however, is not to contract a debt which is likely to hin- der the progress of a young man during the years when he should be free as possible to make his way. pS = wey a Speaking of the Republican party, Mr. Kerens told the veterans at Rolla that “there has been no party so effective in all history, judged by its merits.” What does this mean? he di ie ~~ - MUNICIPAL LEGISLATION BLOCKED. Between the lack of a quorum in the Council and the inertia of the House of Delegates muni- cipal legislation is at a standstill. The bil! authorizing the President of the Board of Public Improvements to employ an engineer for the free bridge sleeps in the council while some of the members are enjoying a vacation. Two important measures are held up in the House of Delegates. One is the bill granting a franchise for supplying the city with natural gas, the only opponent of which is the Laclede Gas Light Company whose influence-is power- ful enough to offset the popular demand for cheap gas. The Public Improvement Committee sits tight on the Dill. The other important measure is the bill for the purchase of the Fair Grounds for park pur- poses. The wisdom of the purchase is univer- sally acknowledged, but public opinion on the subject apparently has no weight with the Ways and Meaps Committee of the House. The public utility commission bill has fallen between the two houses, with no possibility of action until the vacation season is over. What will “e done then with this most important of all measures is a matter of conjecture. : St. Louls wants action on all of these bills. The majority of the council is composed of good men who ought to recognize the importance of prompt action on important city business. The Council should give no comfort to the House of Delegates, the reorganization of which upon a public service basis, or its abolition has become a public necessity. = = = - = = St. Louis policemen will “walk softly and lock lips” sinee the Commissioners have decided that a sergeant may not indulge in the luxury of a neighborhood row. hi he —3 - ESPERANTO IS GROWING. The Esperantc Congress at Dresden has proved conclusively that the new mannfactured language is no longer a fit subject for jest, whether it ever becomes a practical means of universal communi- cation or not. There are 1000 Esperanto’groups in the world. In England alone there are 150 societies at work in it and it is taught in meny schools there. It is part of the course in French lycees and colleges and the study of it in thé army is encouraged by the Minister of War. ‘The London Chamber of Commerce indorses it aad the Oxford Loral Board. ibe friends. of Examiners have taken it up. Besides, there is a large Esperanto literature, 60 periodicals being published. At the Esperanto Congress the Luth- eran service was repeated in Esperanto, for it is a living language addressed to the ear by the spok- en word, not a dead thing on the printed page for the eye alone. : Esperanto may never become the universal lan- guage in the sense that it will supplant the great languages like English, French and German. But it is not a foolish belief that it will be generally adopted for commercial and scientific purposes and so make it possible for business men and men of science to communicate with one another the world over, without the tedious process of learn- ing half a dozen languages or the uncertain as- sistance of belated translations.

I would like to know why a widow of #, who is & g00d housekeeper—not poor by any means—and was once much sought after, has no chance new to wed. Nowadays a man looks only for a young girl, no matter if he is 2% or 6, who can reither cook nor s¢w and in a short time there is a divorce. Take a laboring man and he wants one with money. The clerks go to light housekeeping now and where would we come in? I'll bet there are many like my- self who will say the same thing. In elden times men looked for helpmates. If he had nething, neither did she; if he had a few hundred, so did she. And see how they prospered. A LONESOME WIDOW. »~ * | Is It Bulldozing? Tn the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. When a prominent railroad official conspicuously declares for Taft and advises all railroad employes to vote for him, what does it mean? Simply that every railroad employe who votes for the other man will lose his job. Surely the railroads should have a square deal. They and the people should always Have the railroads themselves given us a square deal? Is it certain that some railroad officials do not want more than a square deal? And isn’t that the reason they are “declaring’’ for the regime under which they have not done right? Who- ever is elected, they will get a square deal. It is ali flub-dub to say that they will not. I am sorry for the bulldoged railroad employes. AMERICAN. Folk and Election Frauds. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Gov. Folk is reported to have said: “There have been four elections heretofore in each of the three large cities of the State withoug the slightest evi- dence of dishonesty or the faintest suspicion as to the fairness of such elections.” If Gov. Folk has made a statement to this effect he is evidently mis- informed. During his administration election frauds have been steadily continued in St. Louls. Most of these frauds were concocted at the primaries and at the general clections the voters, in many instances, had only the choice between two evils. If, how- ever, at-the elections referred to by Gov. Folk there was any occasion for crooked work, it may be de- pended upon that the ‘“‘bums” serving as election of- ficials were ready to perform it. Gov. Folk tn many respects is one of the best Governors which the State of Missouri has .ever had, but it is the duty of his friends to warn him if he entertains any er- roneous idea on a subject of; great importance. The only way for him to secure clean elections in St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph is by peremp- torily ordering the‘plection boards in those cities to eliminate the names of all suspicious characters from the roll of election efficials and to tell them to ask, and, if necessary, compel representative business men to serve as judges and clerks, permit- ting no reputable citizen whom they hold fit to serve to shjrk his duty, nefther the merchant prince nor his humblest clerk. WILLIAM F. DANA. 2722 Knapp street. Muzzling Dogs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am awaiting the outoome of the Thompson bill, providing for the mugzling of degs and keeping them off the streets, but I don’t see any more about it in the papers and it seems as if it is forgotten. Such an ordinance is of great impertance, as it deals with the safety of the children of eur city, the “safety” which is ‘‘guaranteed” to the inhabitants of this city. It i# said that the owner of a dog is responsible for the action of his dog; there is very little consolation in that, ag the dog is allowed to run about the streets and the pedestrian cither turns out of his way or trusts that the dog will let him pass by without injury. Now, in many cases we see such: dogs in the street that it really fs a risk to pass them by. There are only few of the many cases of dog bites reported to the authorities, and even at that there is nothing done better the con- dition. If the children should be protected againat danger on the public streets, and we must admit that the dog is the greatest danger confronting a child, the lawmakers of our city should feel in their conscience bound to make the guarantee of safety to its citizens goed. A READER. A Desirable Lid. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Truly am I. happy to hear that basebal’ talk has been suppressed in the City Hall. Can't the lid be put on this chatter all over town?

Brooklyn's baseball players swept the Cardinals into the cellar and clapped the door shut when they jerked the final game from McCloskey’s “kids” yester- day afternoon. It was the final game of the series, as well as the last of the long séssion on the home grounds for the St. Louis team. Last night the boys departed for Chicago, where they are booked for four days against Frank Chance’s champions, and it was not with much Hope they departed to meet that powerful Windy City bunch. Brooklyn took all three games from the Cardinals. They won the final in a‘ decisive manner, the score being 2 to v. The Cardinals tumbled badly in that one series, after putting up brilliant defense and attack on all of the other Eastern clubs. Now they must turn to road Werk for the greater part of the time tée the finish’of the season, and it will be @ dif- ficult matter for them to climb back out of the bottem position ih the National League. Two new players were given a trial yesterday by Manager McCloskey. Wal- ter Morris was placed at shortstop and Wilber Murdock in left fleld. Charles Moran, the other recruit of last week, was again behind the bat. Morris made the best impression of the three in yesterday’s game, handling several chances at shortstop in a man- ner that denoted finish and skill really commendable. Moran was again aggres- sive and lined out one vicious drive for two bases that was admirable, but his throwing to second during the game was hardly satisfactory. Murdock had no chance in the outfield and the best he could do in the offensive part of the game. was to draw a base on balls at one time. Pitcher McIntyre of the Brooklyn ‘team was in his best form. He was as steady in tight places as when he was fanning out the batters. He could always put the ball over when necessary. and he hurled an underhand curve ball much of the time that had the Cardinals’ batters swinging wildly at blank space. Twice during the game he became en- tangled by the attack of the locals. In the sixth inning the first two men sin- gled, but McIntyre fanned the next one and caused the following two to become easy outs. In the seventh inning Big Ed}, Koney opened with a triple and Mur- dock was passed to first base. But these two men stood helplessly on those bags while the next three batters died vic- tims to McIntire’s excellent pitching. Johnny Lush was pitching for the Car- dinals and did beautiful work, with the exception of the third inning, when he became flustrated, and, in a moment of wildness, heavedthis own game away with a wild throw across the diamond, Maloney had singled, when the next bat- ter, McIntire, pushed a bunt toward sec- ord base. It rolled past ervyone, for both Lush and Koney made stabs at it, while Charles wan to cover first base. Lush chased the ball to fhe edge. of the grass and then hurled it.wild to third ‘base. Maloney scored and MciIn- tyre reathed second. Then a sacrifice and a single braught in the second run. ST.

With the highest powered speed boat in America, the Independence, owned by a St. Louisan, on the Mississippi, efforts are being made by other local men to bring to this city some of the fastest racing boats in the country. Dr. Max Starkloff, former Health Corfimissioner, is at present negotia- ting with the owners of the Dixie No. 1, werld’s champion speed boat last year. The men who ‘own the boat are in the East and want $8000 for the boat. Dixie No. 1 has been supplanted by Dixie No. 2, which won the world’s championship this year. The Dixie No. 1 is still a fast boat, and is only a year old. -It is said that the engines in the boat cost $8000 alone. Speed boats are run under such a terrific strain in a race that it does not take long to wear them out. The engines of a speed .-at are the main point. Dr. Starkloff is at present own- er of one of the best pleasure launches on_ the river. ere are a number of other men in St.’Louls whe are figuring on secur- ing speed boats, as they find that en the river they can cut loose for as fast a clip as they wish without danger of being arrested for exceeding the speed limit. As yet nothing definité has been dene toward arranging the $1000 match race between the Minnie C. No. 2 ef Fert Madison, Io., and the Independence. The Fert Madison men want the race to we held at that place, while Edwin Koenig, owner of the Independence, wants the race to be decided in the local harber.

The Yankee No. 2 is a four-cylinder, 35-foot boat, rated at 76-horsepower. Larson and Judd say that a cup will be offered/for the race. They want a 50-mile ceurse from the South Side Mo- tor Boat Club to the Merchants’ Bridse and then downstream to the River des Peres and back again,\calling for two laps ef the course in al. Koenig is willing to race his boat against the Yankee No. The race will be arranged for the near future.

The Midway coach had little encour- agement for the rooters who have been anxiously awaiting his return from the big games.” He pronounced tue Midway outlook the worst since the disastrous seasen of 191, when the Maroons were scalped by Michigan, Wiscansin and Illinois. Coach Stagg said: ‘‘We have not as much material as we have had in all the years since 1901 and what we. have is not as good. We have lost seriously by graduation and ineligibilities and I expect a mighty hard time all the way. KRAMER AGAIN SETS NEW CYOLE MARK IN HALF MILE Record Made at Vailsburg This Time Will Be Allowed to Stand. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Frank L. Kra- HORSEMEN WANT REAL MONEY NOW Owners May Boycott Brighton Beach Track Because of . Broken Promises. Special to the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Unless horse owners receive some assurance more substantial than promises that the Brighton Beach Racing Association will pay its purses and stakes this fall, many of the horses now racing at the local tracks will not be nominated for the October meeting. The failure of the track -by the sea to meet all of its obligations this summer has caused no end of bitterness against the manage- ment and several of the most influen- tial Owners havé openly declared that they will not race a horse at the com- ing meeting. here is no excuse for this failure on the Brighton Beach Racing Association to pay horsemen the money won this year, horsemen declare. It is known that the track made a profit—small, but nevertheless a profit—on *its summer meeting, but instead of paying the purses and stakes promptly, only those horsemen that demanded their money during the course of the meeting re- ceived a ready response. Before the meeting began in July horsemen were told that the meeting would be held solely for their benefit. The beautiful picture was painted to them that all the revenue derived from the gate and etherwise would be split up between them—a sort of co-opera- tive plan. In the fullness of their hearts at the glad tidings and in order te as- sist the association in its endeaver to make the meeting pay. the horsemen signed releases absolving the track ore. 0 gree apn in the matter of s stakes and permitting it to them off their books. F — Scarcely had. these signatures been Obtained before the track managers an- nounced that the evernight races would fave from $400 te $600 added to them. The co-operative plan to run the meet- ing on the gate receipts and to divide the, surplus after the expenses were paid was lost sight of. The attendance was so good during the first week that the association increased’ its added money. This increase in. many cases has been simply on paper to owners, for a,iarge portion of the hersemen have y to receive in full the meney won by their herses.

The crowds were friendly enough, but those who were capable of estimating the worth of a baseball team let it down as kindly as possible, by saying that it was a to referring cautiously to an ugly wom- an as having a “nice disposition.” Everywhere there was an air ef com- placency on faces of the experts, which seemed te ect the “‘I-told-you- so’ of the sati critic. In fact, the terrible result of the East- ern campaign ave some justification lief “that the team has suf- a serious retrogression.

S a matter of fact, the team suf- A fered a loss of little in actual performance. Its defense con- tinued good and its base running was, if anything, improved. The presence of Heidrick in the fray added something for a time and it was thought when Schweitzer returned to the game the outfield would be the fastest of tse League in hitting, speed and efficiency in the outfield. But Heidrick began to flag semewhat when the pitchers ‘“dis¢overed” hina, | while Schweitzer floundered about lik a sea bass ina wasbtub when sent to right field. In fact, hig work there caused the Browns to lose one game. Schweitzer ise accustomed to center fleld and having been out of the game for gome'time could not get a line on his new tetritory at once. The team was further weakened against Beston when Ferris and Wa)l- lace were both out ef the fray, neces- sitating the shifting of Hartsell and Yenger to the infield. Considering all things, the Browns which face the White Sox in their series beginning today, will be wanting In only one essential from the club that began to weaken in the last series against the Boston team here. Batting, just batting, is the trouble. Mistakes by men here and there mean nothing in the club’s backsliding. The team simply has been unable te hit. It is as if the pitchers of every other club in the League have solved the weak- nesses of the Browns’ batsmen. MeAleer Blue, but Game.

As far as a serious falling off of the gen- eral work of the fielders is concerned, this may be overlooked. Wallace and Ferris will be back In the present series. Catcher Spencer will be here. Hartzell will return to right field and the regular team should at least mike the opposing clubs extend themselves. But, nevertheless, the batting ef the Browns must be increased before the team can hope to stall eff the chai- lenges of the goed clubs in the West.

: Sailors Petition for Craft Like the Huntress With One Difference —That It Will Run. The Alton Naval Militia, under cem- mand of Lieut: Cyrus Maxfield, has given up the ship. The ship is a row- boat, and the militia has petitioned Gov. Deneen to take it away and re- place it with a power boat. The petition is signed by 50 names which its Alton’s fighting strength: on sea. The document sets forth that, whereas, the Missouri Naval Reserves are possessed of a so-calied boat named the Huntress, and whereas the Altorti Naval Militia might at some future time be required to leave Alton andtake to the water, therefore the said milita earnestly prays that the Governor sup- ply the militia with a boat like the Hun- tress, with one difference; i. e., one that will run, "The petition was torwarded to Gev.

The son was mistaken for a rival and he and his mother were shot while they were standing in the dark just outside the village church, June 2. Turner, who was 6 years old, had been separated from his wife be- fore the shooting. He was reported to be wealthy. Mrs. Turner was 4. Turner, overcome by remorse and sorrow, had been out of his mind as a result of the shooting. He was more concerned in the condition of his son than his own fate and said he cared not what the authorities did to him so long as his boy would recover.

And so he trusts that Board Puts Name of N. A. Loren- zen on List, Though He Was Killed. The list of judges and clerks-for the November election, published Monday by authority of the Board of Election Commissioners, contains the name of ene man who has been dead néarly ten months. Niels A. Lorenzen, 313 Walnut street, is named as a Republican judge of elec- tion in the Third Precinct of the Fifth Ward. This man, according to Deputy Sher- iff John Boepple, who lives in the pre- cinct, was killed in a street car acci- dent Nov. 12 last, being hurled from his coal wagon in a collision and dying at the City Hospital. A report in the police files on the ac- cident names Andrew Lorenzen as the man killed. This, Boepple said, is Niels A. Lorenzen.

MAGINE, any of you, the following: An owner of a piece of property who wants to make his house or his barn look better than it does, walks into a stcre where paint is sold, and brings his good money with him and is willing to pay that money for good paint’for a good purpose. He doesn’t know very much about paint; but he has been led to believe that the dealer does. his money, and he gets, let us say, not good paint, or not as good as he bar- gained for, but instead a paint that is otherwise. He buys *‘otherwise-paint. * Now who has the worst of this?

BOOTY IS CONCEALED Midshipman Leads the Police to Where the Men Lie Sleeping. One and a half river pirates are ,held at the North Market Street Station. There are three individuals, but each is only half a man, one having lost a leg, the other an arm and the third an eye. Their make-up is that of ‘bold buc- eaneers and two of thom boast of their exploits, while their leader folds his arms and scowls in true pirate-chief fashion. Skulking the shadows at Breadway and Ferry street policemen found An- drew Thomas, 16, midshipman ef the pirate craft: “If you won't take me to the beoby hatch I will betray the pirates,” he said. Piratical Trie Is Found. He led them to the Waterworks race- track, two blecks away, and there they found Harry Mellman, one arm, 18; Jo- seph Russell, one eye, 17, and William Thompson, 47, one leg, asleep on the turf. “Yes, we're pirates,” said Mellman at North Market Street Station. “We stole a six-oared skiff at Wash- ington, Mo., and came down the river swiping things everywhere we stopped. We've got a plant over in Venice where we've got a lot of stuff stachéd.”’ “Yes, it’s a regular pirates’ cave,” said Andrew Thoma. “They to:d me all about it.”’ — The pirates met the boy on the street Sunday night. He says they boosted him through the window of Mike Tai- louse’s butcher shop at 4246 North Broadway and he stole 31 pennies and a yard and a half of link. sausage. When the pirates gave him only one penny and one link of sausage he de- cided to “‘turn them up.”’ The police eon Aug. 21 were notified that a six-oared skiff had been stolen at Washington, Mo., by river pirates. After the arrest a boat answering the description was found moored at the foot of Palm street. Mellman and Rus- sell acknowledged that it was the one which they had been using.
