(COATLESS WHEN SHOT This and Other Circumstances Indicate Wound Was In- flicted in House.

“From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, OMAHA. Neb., Sept. 6—Dying of a bullet wound believed to have been in- flicted by one whom he had deeply wronged, Dr. Frederick T. Rustin, as a last amends, refused to name his as- sailant, according to Dr. Milliard Lang- feild, the first man on the scene after the shooting. It is also asserted by Dr. Langfeld that he found the physician lying in the front hallway, coatless and hatless, and thet the garments were not te be found, neither on the porch nor in the hallway, showing he had entered his house and removed them before he was killed. Both these new developments seem to confirm the almost universal conviction here that the accomplished surgeon and ex-captain of the Yale nine did not die by his own hand, nor by the hand of some jealous sultor of Mrs. Leena Rice, the dark-eyed girl who bewitched him, but by the hand of some unidentified} os \perdon-within his own home.

JOKERS MEET MATCH

Country School Ma’am Has Fun With Bow-Legged, Pigeon-Toed Boys.

If four Alton jokers had known that Miss Jessie Cook, country school teach- er, was from St. Louis they wouldn’t have tried to enroll three nature-fake pupils in her schoo. They thotight she was a simple country lass who wouldn’t ask to be shown. Jack Coppinger, Henry Hack, George Demuth and Dick Roberts were camping On Missourj Point, across the _ river from Alton. Fish weren't biting, birds were coy and time hung heavy on their hands. Friday afternoon they discovered a little schoolhouse in a clearing be- tween a cornfield and a potato patch. More than _ that, they caught sight of the pretty young school- ma’am. ‘Their plan was quickly formed. Rummag- ing through their camp baggage, : they dug up the FOR THe 8 CURSS they were to use in playing a great joke on the teacher. “Boys” Seek Education. “You fellows are my boys,” said Cop- pinger. ‘‘Your education has been neg- lected, but now. I’m going to put you in school.” Hack, Demuth and Roberts, all old enough to vote, made up to look like barefooted country boys of 16. Coppinger disguised himself as a farmer who might be anywhere from 40 to ©. Holding hands the four marched up to the school. “Papa” knocked on the door. Miss Cook, trim, neat and good to look at, came out and stood on the step. “These here air my three boys, an’ I kind o’ thought I'd like to give ‘em a lIit- tle sthoolin’,’’ drawled Coppinger. The teacher was grave. ‘“T am afraid they. are somewhat ad- vanced in years,”’ she said. ‘However, I will question them.” Turning to George Demut!, she smiled sweetly. “Now, little boy.’ she said, “can you tell me who was the first President of the United States?’ ‘Teacher Asks Questions, “William J. Bryan,’ answered George in a high, piping voice. “Very well. Now I wonder if that-— er—a—bow - legged boy on the end could answer a question.” Henry Hack in- stinctively bent forward and tried to pull down his abbreviated trou- sers. “Who was the father of his coun: try.” asked the pretty teacher. “John D. Rocke- feller,” glibly an- swered Henry. “Splendid!” cried Miss Cook. “Now, just One question for the pigeon-toed littie fellow in the middle.” Dick Roberts’ face reddened. turned his toes outward. “Who,” said Miss Cook, “who wrote the Declaration of Independence?” “That’s easy,”’ replied Dick. “It was Elinor Glyn.”’ Miss Cook turned to “Papa’’ Coppin- ger. e “I am sorry,” she said, “but I fear that your boys are too weli educated for my school. Tell them to run along and play and when they are a little older you can send them to a barbers’ college. Good day,. sir,"’ and she disap- peared. “Now, I wonder who the joke was on,” sald the four jokers in chorus as they hiked back to camp.

eeronaut Almost Equals the World’s Record for Con- tinuous Flight.

CONTROL OF MACHINE

American Made Many Evolu- tions That Showed Success of Aeroplane.

LE MANS, Wright, a significant and highly successful flight §.—Wilbur made France, Sept. the American aeroplanist, here this morning. His machine was in the air for 19 min- 482-5 seconds, thus approaching within a fraction of a minute Henry utes, Farman’s record for the longest public official flight. The distance covered by Mr. Wright was not accurately measured, but it is estimated at between 14% and 15 miles. The feat was. accomplished on the field of Avours and was accompanied by a remarkable series of evolutions demonstrating the precision of Mr. Wright’s control of the machine. - When he alighted easily within 300 feet of his starting apparatus, the American aeroplanist was overwhelmed with congratulations. He said he could have remained in the air longer, but he descended on account of an abnor- mal noise made by the motor. Accident in Wind. M. Moullee, who timed the flight, es- timated that the average height of the aeroplane from the ground was 35 feet and that its speed exceeded 37 miles an hour. After readjusting his motor, Mr. Wright prepared fer another flight. In the meantime, however, a strong wind had arisen, blowing at times as high as 24 miles an hour. Nevertheless, Mr. iv: launched his machine and the aeroplane was slipping along when suddenly, when he reached a point opposite a group of trees, a heavy gust of wind threatened to drive him inte the branches. To avoid this, Mr. Wright turned his machine sharply, but he had lifted the right wing too much and the left wing came in contact with the ground. This brought about a repetition of the acci- dent of August 13, when the delicate framework was deranged and torn frem a similar cause. Mr. Wright was net hurt. He announced that he would be able to resume his flights next week. ORVILLE WRIGHT FLIES IN FIVE CIRCLES AT HIGH SPEED WASHIN GTON, ~ Sept. 6. —Orville Wright made another flight over the drill grounds at Fort Myer, Va., yes- in which he encircled the field five times in addition to going its full length, before landing directly in front of the tent which shelters the ma- chine. The total time consumed in flight was four minutes and fifteen seconds, the aeroplane being under the control of Mr. Wright throughout the flight. The wind was blowing at a rate of three and three-fifths miles per hour, and the speed of the aeroplane was estimated at 36 miles an hour. Distance covered was about two and one-half miles. Thirty feet from the ground was the greatest height attained. One of the most impressive features of the aeroplane’s performance was the ease with which it was brought to earth when half-way round on the last lap. The aeroplane at all times was within a space of a quarter ofa mile square. TAFT’S WEIGHT 302 POUNDS, BUT BRYAN HAS WEIGHTED 8 YEARS; SO THERE, NOW! THE TEMPERATURES. mentant Bh sive sat m..

Have you seen anything of a tiger With its tawny coat all mussed And a general air of eagerness To get out of town or bust? Eee-yah, ee-yah! Have you seen anything of a tiger With red and bleary eyes, Speeding along like it was out To win a sprinting prize? Have you seen anything of a tiger Seared as a dog-chased hare, Racing with time in a mad resolve To get from Here to There? Ee-yah, ee-yah! We've twisted the tall of this tiger And we've yanked his whiskers out; We've nipped his claws and drawn his fangs And we're chasing him up the spout.

SPORTSMAN’S PARK, Sept. 5.—That pennant pole with Detroit’s goat tied to it looked mighty good to the St. Louls baseball fans today. Thousands of them were in waiting when the gates were opened at 12:30. With the ‘“‘sunshine boys,” the third- base bleachers were the faverite van- tage point. The surprisingly early ar- rival of grandstanders gave promise of a record-breaking Saturday crowd. .More than half the seats in the ‘mil- lionaires’ section’’ were occupied with- in 15 minutes after the busy little turn- stiles were started on the merry-go- round. It was an _ optimistic, loyal bunch, ready to cheer to the limit fer McAleer’s near-leaders. Mr. Bird Seems Worried. The Post-Dispatch Weather Bird en the center fleld fence leoked worried, as though he feared that George Stone er Heidrick was due to hit him with a batted ball. Women were out in large numbers—also large hats. Three of them sat in the left field bleachers, In anticipation of the big jam the management provided seats fer the “rope gang’ in the left and center fields. Hitherto this contingent has had to stand. The seats were long boards, supperted by empty soda ‘water bexes and beer cases, Spencer, Stephens, Yaeger, Powell and Hobe Ferris were out for fungo prac- tice early. At 1:30 all except a few bleachers were taken and more than 10,000 fans were palently waiting to see the Brewns make it two straight. Po When it became apparent that the crowd would be too big for the park, chairs were placed on the roof of the pavilion. The fans literally swooped on them. Many in t he crowd seemed dismayed when the rumor spread that “Wild Bill’ Donovan, one of the greatest hurlers in captivity, would fling the spheroid for the Tigers, but these deubtful ene were soinewhat reassured when the leyal Baown reooters gave eut the information that Harry Howell would me in the ring wiih his renowned vapor float. Donovan had beaten McAleer’s men twice this season, but the fans recalled that in ene instance the Browns got a bad start threugh inferior pitching. Each car that rolled up to the gates btfere 2 o'clock could not have harbored another ‘‘bug.’’ Extra conveyances were put on each line running to Sportsman’s Park. The Spring avenue cars, with the half-holiday crowd from dewntown, were loaded before they left Broadway and Olive street, and.many had to take Olive cars and transfer.en Grand and Vandeventer avenues, An immense throng, which has been held at the bleacher gates, was admit- ted at 2:15. The scramble for the soda box seats afforded great amusement to those already in the park. The Tigers received a mild evation when they came on the field a few minuter later. “You're all right, lick you,’ was bleacher boys. But the noise wasn’t a marker to that which greeted George Stone.

"BUMPED FOR GEMS, HUMORIS! CANT SEE JUKE “So Funny,” Says Cashier, “He Gave the Rings to Make Me Like Him.”

Although Henry Hermanns, publisher of the Humorist, has been depending upon his sense of humoy as a means of livelihood he can see ing funny in the situation which Mrs. Dolores Ev- ans, the vivacious brown-eyed cash- ier in the French Restaurant, 806 North Sixth street, thinks i; very humorous. Hermanns, whe is 50 years of age, ap- plied for a warrant to Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney Falkcnhainer Satur- day, charging Mrs. Evans with keep- ing three diamond rings worth $39 which, he saic, belonged to him. The warrant was refused. “Oh, it’s a great joke,”’ said Mrs. Ev- ans te a Post-Dispatch reporter who called at the cafe Saturday. ‘Old Her- manns simply got his head bumped.

He used to come every day to the res- taurant and said all sorts of sweet things to me. Then he gave me the rings, and a few days later asked me to visit him in his rooms. “I told him he had made a mistake, and asked him if that was why he had given me the rings. He _ raised his hands above his head and said: ‘Oh, no.’ But that was the reason all right. ‘“‘When my husband saw the rings he was angry, and since then we have been separated. But as far as Hermanns counts, he needn't have been at all. I thought the old man a joke. And when he got angry because [wouldn't love him I thought it a better joke. “Oh, the rings.

O'MALLEY SHFTS ‘BLAME TO CREECY “Il Obeyed Orders,” Says Captain in Explaining Election Day Detail. of Gov. Folk to thoroughly investigate the con- duct of the police on primary election day, the Police Board, tn executive ses- sion Friday, summoned Capt. Michae! O’MaHey of the Carr Street District, and asked him to explain why he per- mitted a clerk to make out the election day detail. “L carried out the instructions of the Chief,’’ said the Captain. Lieut. Thomas Walsh said: “I carried out the instructions of the Captain.” Chief Creecy and Chief of Detectives Smith were in conference with the Commissioners for half an hour. Both were noncommittal when they came out. Gov. Folk’s demand for a thorough investigation followed the dismissal of Patrolmen O'Fallon, Allen and Cullen on charges of neglect of duty in failing to arrest repeaters that invaded a Fourth Ward polling place and assault- ed Manuel Reynolds, a Republican judge. John Denehy, a clerk in the Carr Street Station, assigned patrolmen to the polling places in that distriet on primary day. Patrolman Thomas F. Cuddihee of the Dayton Street District was acquitted of the charge of making an unnecessary arrest. Cuddihee raided the Albany Club, Garrison and Cass avenues, July 28, while a political *meeting was in progress. According to the policeman there was a half barre] of beer on tap and the club members were singing loudly. ' Lieut. Walsh was rebuked for prefer- ring charges of neglect against Patrol- «man John McEneny of the Carr Street District for failing to prevent a burglary in the store of the St. Louls Edible Nut Co., 938 North Second street, Aug, 23.. Robert L. Russell, of the company, testi- fieqd that the lock on the door was de- fective. Furthermore, McHneny was as-| signed to patro] four beats on that day.

LOSS A PUZZLE Police Mathematician Tries to Solve Short Change Mystery Then Calls for Help. Sergt. Tom Conlon, Central Distyjct, thought he had a laugh on the mem- bers of the Bank Clerks’ Association who tried vainly to figure out the problem, ‘‘How much did Mrs. Kircherer lose?” . Two men ate in the restaurant of Mrs. A. C. Kircherer, 206 North Eleventh street, Thursday evening. The meals came to 60 cents, and one of the men tendered a $10 bill in payment. The other man then purchased two 5-cent cigars and gave a $5 bill. While the men were receiving their change the one with the $10 bill gave his companion five $1 bills for the five-spot and the lat- ter then exchanged two §5 bills for his friend's $10 bill. In the confusion Mrs. Kircherer was short-changed, but of how much the policeman who made out the report did not know. “It's as simple as rolling off a log.”’ said Conlen Saturday. “I'm surprised at those bank clerks. I can figure it out easily. You see Mrs. Kercherer gave the man with the $10 bill $9.40, the dif- ference between his $10 and the 60 cents for the suppers. Then she gave the man with the $6 bill 90 cents, the dif- ference between his bill and the two ci- gars. She got the $10 bill and then gave it to the fellow with the $6 bill for two $5 bills. Out of the change she gave the fellow with the $10 bill, he gave his friend five $1 bills for the one $> bill. Now you see—Wait a minute: Mrs. Kircherer gave the man with the $10 bill five $1 bills. No, let’s see. She gave the fellow with the $5 bill two $10 bills and he gave her—no, that’s not it. Now I have it. She gave two $5 bills to the man with the five $1 bills. No, hang it. I had that thing all figured out last night. “Say, those bank clerks must be a lot of dubs. They ought to be able to figure that thing out.” Capt. Young's offer of a good cigar is still open to any person who will solve the riddle.

Continued From Page One. the house from attic to basement and of the yard falled to discover a revolver, The wound in the abdom2 ranged at right angles to the height of the body and could not have been fired from the street or the yard because of the shel- tering clump of shrubbery about the porch, | If the assailant was an outsider he must have stood nearly cn a level with the physician as he dozed, s'eepy from his heavy drinking on the front porch, R. E. Archer, who lives just across ithe street from the Rustin home, says that he and his wife were both awake when the shot was fired, or they wou'd not have heard it, so muffled wag it as if the detonation were confined hetween walls. The report seemed to them to come directly from across the street. They sprang at once to the window and watched for five minutes. They are con- fident that the assailant could not have escaped down the street without being seen by them. Neighbor Did Not Hear Shot. Mrs. G. M. Worthington, who lives only two doors away from the phy- sician’s home, says she lay awake ill the greater part of the night of the shooting, and although her husband is a light sleeper, neither heard the report. “It must have been fired within the house, or we should surely have heard it,” she asserts. . Mrs. Rustin has declared from the be- ginning that her husband was murdered, but has adhered to her statement that she was ignorant of his assailant. She is a consistent churehgoer and a native of Boston, of good family and well educated. Babee. 5 es Belief in the theory that Dr. Rustin met death in his own house upon going after his clothes and perhaps an- nouncing his intention of never return- ing, is strengthened by the downfall of the other theories as to his death. The autopsy physicians have declared that suicide was impossible. Dr. W. R. Lavender has gone so far as to make four chemical tests of the tissues in the wound and none of them revealed the presence of powder. This proves conclusively, he declares, that the trag- edy was not suicide, for when a weapon is fired in close proximity to the body the bullet is invariably accompanied on its path through the body by grains of powder. Three Theories Advanced, There have been from the‘first three theories as to how the surgecn met his death. The first was suicide. The second was that he fell a victim to the jealousy of some admirer of Mrs. Leona Rice, who admitted a warm friendship with Dr. Rustin since last June, or to the greed, disappointed since the physician’s financial reverses, of a relative of hers whom It was the Doctor’s interest to ap- pease. The third theory is that he was shot within his own home. While the police have professed to be- lieve in the suicide hypothesis, nearly everyone else has, by weighing the facts known in the case, eliminated all theo- ries but the last. It is pointed out that Dr. Rustin, as an accomplished surgeon, would have been the last man in the world to shoot himself in the abdomen. Such wounds, while usually fatal, often permit their victims to linger for a week in terrible agony. It was only the chance direction of the bullet, which severed the main blood vessel of the abdomen, which caused so quick a death in this case. Surgeon Invelved Financially. It is true that Dr. Rustin’s affairs had become considerably involved, that he had largely lost a practice once approx- imating $20,000 a year, and that he was considered the hardest drinker in Omaha. It was said by the police that he owned about $20,000 to the First Na- tional Bank of Omaha, but this was em- phatically denied to a Post-Dispatch re- porter by Vice-Pr-sident Luther Kountz of the institution. “Dr, Rustin owed us some money,” he said, “but no such an amount as that named. He owed several debts to others, but none were large enough to drive him to suicide, or such as a man of his ability and popularity could not have paid off by a year or two of application.” Investigation is still being made into the whereabouts of Mrs. Rice's husband, A. Rice, who is said to have been an officer in the United States army. He met Leona Bunnell of Des Moines, Io., three years ago while in an encampment in that city, and they eloped. She was then 16 years old. She accompanied him on duty to Cuba, but left him about a year ago and returned to the United States. She is a siender girl, with dark eyes and hair and a vivacious, witty man- ner. It was noticed that when she and Dr. Rustin met last spring in the house of Grace Walton, each was deep- ly struck by the other—she, by the physician's athletic stature and pol- ish, and he by the girl's liveliness of wit and unusual acquaintance with books, Bjected Frem Hetel, It was noticed, too, that she became more and more wearied of the life she was leading, and spoke often of her ambition to find work and live as an “hanest wornan.” It was last May that Dr, Rustin, believing her petter than her opportunities, rescued her from the place and took her to the Royal Hotel. Saturday the couple was ejected for failure, it is said, to pay room rent and went immeciately to the house of ‘Clara Gleason on Douglags street [waere they took @ room together, *~ mere copcrated from then on ul - SATURDAY —8T.

WICHITA FALLS, Tex., Sept. 5.—Lil- lie Wheatley, well known in the red- light district, is dead. Late Thursday night Mrs. Walter Allen ordered a cab and gave orders to be driven to the red- light district. Her orders were obeyed by the cab driver and arriving there she waited with a pistol in the,folds of her clothing the arrival of he, husband, Walter Allen, and Lillie Wheatley, who she had learned had gone for a drive. She had not long to wait, however, when the two drove in front of Lillie Wheatley’s house and stopped. At the same time Mrs. Allen stepped from her carriage and as the Wheatley woman jumped from the buggy to the ground Mrs. Allen; who was only a few steps away, fired upon her, the bullet enter- ing the back and lodging in the left breast. The wounded woman lived only about ten minutes, as the ball had pen- etrated the heart. Mr, -and Mrs. Allen came here about five years ago and rented the 8t. Charles restaurant, in which business they have been engaged ever since. Something like a year ago they rented the entire block in which the restaurant ia located and have been running a rooming house and saloon in connection with the restaurant, Mrs. Allen was arrested and gave bond in the sum of $1500 and jg at liberty. Found Dead ita Hotel, LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 5.—Theodore Barnhouse, a young man who conducts a small grain brokerage office at the town of Adams, near Lincoln, was found dead in his room at the Savoy Hotel late last night, shot through the heart. | On a dresser some distance from where he was lying, lay a revolver. Doctors say it would have been !mpos- sible for Barnhouse to have shot him- self. He was lying as if in repose on the bed. Earlier in the night Barnhouse and a companion, Robert Brown of Firth, ac- companied by two young women, were in the hotel room. The party had been “wo drinking beer. Brown says he and the women left Barnhouse asleep. When a bellboy later wen to the room he found Barnhouse dead. He seemingly had been robbed, as no money or valuabics were in his clothing. Brown was de- tained by the police. Another murder late last night was that of Joseph Watkins, a hack driver, who was shot twice while he was in his hack by W. A. Willie, a young mar. whose home is either at Alma or Daw- son, Neb. Willie tried to escape, but was cuptured by a private watchman who saw the shooting. Willie, with two companions and the hackman, got into a quarrel. All had been drinking heavily. Willie, while ad- mitting the shooting, told a disconnecte:l story of its cause.

He then at- tempted to blow out his own brains. The bullet glanced, however, and he will possibly recover. Miss Kennett’s parents reside in Lincoln.

Dr. Langfeld’s statement to the press was as follows: “when I arrived Wednesday, about 4 a. m., at the Rustin home, Mrs, Rustin ‘was alone with Dr. Rustip in the hall, He was lying on the floor, stretched out on sofa cushicns. He was not in a chair. “Mrs. Rustin opened the door for me and I asked her how it happened. §he ‘anid: ‘Ty heard a shot, rushed down here and found him lying on the floor this way.’ That was the only conversa- tion I had with Mrs. Rustin regarding ithe shooting, other conversation being as to Dr. Rustin’s condition.

YEARNING FOR BELOVED DEAD, WOMAN STARTS 10 WALK FROM LONG ISLAND T0 IRELAND. After Escape From Death on Rail- road Track Mrs. Cline Tells Her Story. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Mrs. Bessic Cline, her hair snow white and her manner gentle, started to walk Queens, Long Island, to Ireland. The many years her feet have trod this earth made her steps slow and heaitat- ing. The searchlight of a locomotive revealed her to the engineer. He was barely able to stop the train in time to avoid running her down. Kind hands lifted her into the train and she was taken to Long Island City. “Where do you live?” inquired Mag- istrate Fitch. “In Ireland, sir,” she replied. “1 Yame over three weeks ago, sir, an’ they're all good ‘an’ kind te me, but I left little Jimmy and Mary and my husband back in the old churchyard, and, sir, I want to go back home. Is it a long way? Sure I can walk.” Mrs. Cline has two daughters and a son in this country, but she had for- gotten where they lived. Sheriff Har- vey will care for her until her relatives are found.

Both of them pointed to Roose- velt as the author of the work of re- form being carried on by the Repub- lican party and declared that the issue before the country was whether the Roosevelt policies should be trusted to Taft or Bryan. Gov. Hughes mentioned the President by name only once. Calls Roosevelt Great Commander. In his peroration Senator Beveridge paid: "When the great commander who has guided 4ur ship of state through storms of opposition and amid the rocks of hatred straight for the port of our high- er hopes and our larger liberties, vol- untarily steps from the bridge and de- livers to us his high commission, let us hand it to the ablest officer aboard and safely make the harbor of our heart's desire.”’ Gov. Hughes describing Taft said: ~ “No one more than I desire to see ad- ministration purged of every selfish taint, to have fair and impartial laws faithfully executed, to get rid of every vestige of special privilege at the ex- pense of public interest, to liberate trade from unjust encroachments, to purify our electoral methods and to maintain honest representative government, Taft Equipped, Says Hughes. ‘“‘And it is because of his loyalty to these ideals, because of his broad sym- pathies and his rare equipment in char- acter, ability and experience, because tested in the difficult fields of judicial and administrative work he has proved his varied learning. his acquaintance with affairs, his respect for constitu- tienal government and his capacity in- telligently and justly to plan and direct necessary reforms that I most earnestly support the candidacy of William How- ard Taft." In describing Bryan he said: “It is no injustice to Mr. Bryan's at- tractive personal qualities, to his effect- iveness as an orator, his skill party leader, nor is it any disparage- ment of the purity of his motives to say: that the man who espoused free silver in 1896, renewed its advocacy in 1900 and later declared his belief in government ownership of railroads cannot be re- garded as a safe leader to whom may be congded the great powers of the President merely because those ‘tloc- trines are omitted from his present platform,” ~Gov. Hughes pointed out that the next President would probably appoint four Justices of the Supreme Court, and he argued that Taft, having been a judge and widely acquainted with the law and lawyers, was best adapted for this duty. Says Cannon Is No Issue. He insisted that the popular election of senators was not an issue, because | both candidates favor it. Czarism in’ the House of Representatives, he said, was not an issue, because the members of the House will make such rules as they see fit, and the problem is one for parliamentarians, for which the Demo- cratic platform and speakers offer no solution. | Digeussing publicity for campaign con- tributions, he mentioned the laws for this end and to prevent contributions by corporations which the Republicans had enacted in New York. “But it must fairly be recognized,” said, he, “that the skirts of neither party have been clean. If we search Mr. Bryan's following we shal) find not a few who have sinned, and also those who, if we may judge from their local activities, are still unrepentant. “The Democratic party cannot claim ‘Unesullied virtue either with regard to se ene source of its revenues or its readi- ' Hess to receive them.

MACON, Mo., Sept. 5.—Because his daily "wage of $1.35 didn’t suffice to keep her in the kind of clothes she wished to wear, Mrs. G. W. Reynolds left her husband and four little children. That is the only reason the husband gives for his wife’s departure. While at a studio having pictures of his remaining family taken, Mr. Reynolds. said: “My wife and I had been schoolmates, and when I carried her books to schoo! it was understood between us that we would marry when we grew up. She knew I was a workingman, and that my income was moderate. At first we got along fairly well and were happy, but as the children came the load grew eavier without a corresponding increase in wages. ‘My wife iiked to wear .as good clothes as those she saw on the stylish women whose husbands had large ; ank accounts, but I cculd not give them to her. I wished I could. I tried to make her understand, but she seemed to think I ought to be able to do what others did, and because I could not make her look like a princess she left. Never Even a Quarrel. “No, we never had any other trouble. I never raised my hand against her, I saw that she did not love me as she once did, and all because of that one thing. I know there was no other man in the case, and she knows I was not in- terested any other woman. I suppose she will ask for a divorce, and it will be a matter of some interest to me to see whether a judge will give her one from a man whose only failure has been te. provide fine clothes. “Want her back? Well, I don’t know. We're getting along very well. Gracie— the 9-year-old—is housekeeper, and she’s doing very well. The children prefer to stay. with me; it's home. They don't understand why their mother left, and I’ve never said a word to influence them against her. I’ve nothing but kindly feeling for my old schoolmate who be- ; is over.” nor did she ever treat me harshly.

Of course, one must eschew luxuries amd fine clothes, but he can live in a plain, substantial manner—in the country. Of course, it would be a arder proposition in the great cities. I notice one trouble in small households is a tendency to everdress. “The wife, in her eagerness to appear as well as some othér women she meets on the street, will overreach her. hus- band’s modest salary, and then comes family troubles. I don’t know the facts in the case you give me, but fany a home has been broken. by a wife’s ex- travagance, just as’ it has by a hus- band’s shiftlessness.

Regarding the labor planks of the Democrats, he said Mr. Taft has ex posed the disingenuousness of the at | in the Democratic platform that Injunc- tions should not be issued in any cases in which injunctions would ngt issue if no industrial disputes were involved, a Janus-faced proposal, meaning what you like. He declared it was more important than questions of court procedure that laborers should have the opportunity to work at good wages and Mr. Bryan, he said, would interfere with this oppor- tunity by ‘‘a fatuous course of arbitrary interference with trade.” Senator Beveridge devoted himself a}- most entirely to comparison of the can- didates and praise of President Roose- velt, Beveridge for Tarif@® Commission, He deviated long enough to urge the wisdom of a tariff commission and a minimum and maximum tariff law as means to build up foreign trade, increase industry and sure a scientific tariff, The Democrats, he said, were all op- posed to the tariff commission and #0 were some Republicans but not all of

ONE MAN HOLDS UP GAS MEASURE INTHE HOUSE 7 Six Other Members of Com- mittee Appear Powerless Against “Cap” Troll.

DARK SECRET IN LIGHT

Wicked Minority Has Strangle Hold on Well-Meaning Majority.

Six-sevenths of the Public Improve- ments Committee of the House of Dele- gates is prevented by the lone one-sev- enth from taking any action on the natural gas bill. The six-sevenths are Chairman W. J. Brennan, James J. Gallagher, Mathew Tobin, Frank Weeke, Joseph Schell and Frank Simmons. The recalcitrant. one-seventh is Delegate “Caa"’ Troll. Because of this obstinacy on the part of One-seventh Mr. Troll, the Polite Six-sevenths yield gracefully and con- tinue to let the bill accumulate dust and age in the pigeonhole. Chairman Brennan announced Satur- day that the committee had no meeting and could not, therefore, report the bill to the house. For want of a confer- ence, owing to the recalcitrance of the One-seventh, no bills received attention Friday night. All the members of the committee were at Friday night’s meeting of the House. A majority .of them ‘were on hand nearly an hour before Speaker Conran called the House to order. The intent and conditions of the gas bill are well known to them all. They know that it was discussed at public hearings and amended during its prog- ress through the Council. They heard six representatives of as many mercan- tile and civic organizations advocate its passage when a public hearing was tee in July. Big Majority Favors Measure, but — The members of the committee, with @he exception of One-seventh Troll, have expressed themselves in favor of report- ing the bill. Weeke and Schell have promised their votes for it, provided the Six-sevenths ever by any suspension of. mathematical laws, can prevail over the One-seventh. But neither the Six- sevenths nor any other fraction of the House have made any effort to compel a report. The Million Population Club has writ- ten to the House of Delegates to ask that the gas bill be given immediate consideration. This communication has been referred to the Public Improve- ments Committee. ,With the Six-Sev- enths at the mercy of the One-Seventh, it is expected, this request will share the fate and the pigeonhole of its sub- ject. In addition to the other members of the Public Improvements Committee al- ready quoted in the Post-Dispatch as favoring a report on the gas bill, Dele- gate Gallagher has announced himself as friendly to the measure. Dark Mystery on Light. No one who doesn’t wish to accept the explanation that One-Seventh is greater than Six-Sevenths, can ascer- tain any reason for the Public Improve- ment Committee’s inaction. Failure of committees of the House of Delegates to meet when bills to which there is opposition are pending, is an old excuse. But why they don’t meet when all their members are present is never satisfac- torily answered. The Laclede Gas Light Co. is, so far as an open hostility is concerned, the only interest which has set itself in the way of the natural gas bDill’s passage. In the Council a long list of questions pre- pared by the Laclede company’s attor- ney were asked of the men seeking the pending franchise. Like interrogations were readat the public hearing given by the House com- mittee in July. At that time every mem- ber of the committee disclaimed author- ship or knowledge of the author of the questions. FAIR GROUNDS BILL HELD UP IN FAVOR OF ANOTHER PARK While failing, without explanation, to report two bills contemplating the city’s acquisition of the old Fair Grounds as a park and athletic concourse, the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Delegates has recommended a bond is- sue for the purchase of the block be- tween Vafideventer avenue, Whittier street, Finney avenue and Fairfax ave- nue. The estimate of the property’s cost— and the amount fixed in the bill—is $700,- 000, the same sum at which the Fair Grounds, several times larger in area, has been offered tothe city. The West End Protective Association !s urging the passage of the bill far the purchase of the tract west of Vandeventer avenue. Several degelates who advocated the acqufrement of the Fair Grounds two years ago, when the owners demanded $1,700,000,.are opposing it now that the price has been.reduced by $1,000,000 While the bill remains in the hands of the committee, however, they are not under the necessity of giving reasons for this change of heart.

Wants O’Retlly to Explain. Delegate Frank Hussey wants to know why President O'Reilly the “Board qf Public Improvements didn’t sign the letter -written to the Municipal! Assembly by the Municipal Bridge and Terminals Commission to urge the vacation of 23 blocks of streets between Grand avenue, Ewing avenue; Adams street and Gratiot street. Hussey says he will prepare a resolution calling on President O'Reilly for an explanation. It is understood that President (’ Reil- ly objects to the grant of the streets without compensation, and to the aban- donment of Ewing avenue under any circumstances. He is a member.of the

BROTHER-IN-LAW TO AID

Medical Examination Indicates Actress Was Strangled to Death.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, BOSTON, Mass., Sept. -5.—While the dismembered body of his wife, known on the stage as Irene Shannon, was scattered about two houses, Chester §. Jordan, the self-confessed slayer, went about his business as usual and joked as he sat at luncheon with his brother- in-law, Jesse L. Livermore, a New York cotton speculator. This disclosure regarding the conduct of the self-confessed wife slayer, three hours before his arrest, is the most amazing of the developments in the story, next only to the gruesome crime itself. Mr. Livermore has arrived here with his wife, the prisoner’s sister, on his yacht, the Venetia, after a cruise along the Maine coast. He went to the of- fice of R. S. Barrows, a broker, where Jordan had desk room. There the New Yorker found his stalwart . young brother-in-law smoking cigarettes and chatting with casual callers in the most composed way. Unperturbed by Tragedy. Jordan and a third man were the guests of Livermore for lungheon in a Newspaper Row restaurant. While Jor- dan did not eat much, he was matter- of-fact in his manner and discussed a variety of subjects. In the middle of the afternoon, Jordan, still absolutely calm and self-possessed, parted from his brother-in-law and rode in a street car to the house in Han- cock street, where the policeman found him a ltitle later sitting near the steam- er trunk that contained his victim's hacked and mangled torso. Insanity to Be Plea. Livermore is going to spend a part of what fortune he has left after the recent cotton slump in trying to save his. brother-in-law from the electric chair. Already it is settled that a plea of insanity will be the defense offered in behalf of the man who killed his wife, chopped her up and carted parts of the body about with him for 48 hours. Livermore has retained William S. Scharlot for the defense. It is further stated that the Livermores and the members of the slayer’s immediate fam- ily, who are prominent in society at Somerville, will be able to show that as far back as six weeks ago, Jordan showed pronounced signs of mentas de- rangement. Doctors Say She Was Strangled. Jordan, in his confession, stated that his wife was killed by being knocked downstairs and that he then cut up the body and placed it in the trun in which it was found by the police. While the medical examiners decline to state their findings at this time, it was learned that the examination jndi- eated that Mrs. Jordan met her death by being struck on the head with a blunt weapon, possibly a flatiron, caus- ing a fracture sufficient to cause death. Then, it is said, she was strangled. ‘Jordan, after pleading not guilty to a charge of murder yesterday, was taken to Jail to await a hearing on Sept. 1L

ONE CENT “WE'LL DANCE, BUT NOT FOR CHURCH!” a i, +

i id Women Defy Presbyterian Elder’s Court In- junction Against “Damning Picnic”— “Money Is ‘tor Orphans.”

PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept: 5.—“We'll dance our heads off if we feel that way, but the church won't get a cent of the money. We'll give it to the Orphan Asylum. So there!’ This was the defiance’of Mrs. J. B. Scott, chairman of the Renovating .Club of the Grace Memorial Church, against the court injunction ordering them to hold no picnic in the name of the church in case there was to be dancing. Counseled by Attorney F. R. Steward, the young people went along with their picnic in Southern Park, and there was dancing from 10 a. m. until midnight. In order to be well within the law, the younger set had the following bulletin posted at the gates of the park: “This entertainment is not, nor is it intended to be, for the benefit of the Grac@ Memorial Presbyteriap Church, nor is it in any way connected there- with. No part of the funds arising from this entertainment will be for the bene- fit of the Grace Memorjal Presbyterian Church. The proceeds Will be donated to the Juvenile Court Association of Al- legheny County.” Never was there such a large crowd attended any picnic of any church in Pittsburg. The newspapers took the

case up, and access to the big dancing platform at the picnic grounds was im- possible for many hours. Elder Brooks, who procured the court injunction against a “damning picnic to be held in the name of the church,” was om the picnic grounds poanne: about and taking notes. As he came near Aes dancing pavilion, the band broke into suggestive strains of ‘‘Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here,” etc., and the good deacon fied in scan- dalized terror. It is whispered that all those who danced will be expelled from the church.

O’REILLY’S THE MAN. After firing questions at Mayor Wells and President O’Reilly, and inspecting the bridge site the Free Bridge Committee has brought in a ver- dict cf guilty against both the Mayor and the President of the Board of Public Improvements. President O’Reilly is guilty on the first count of the indictment charging responsibility for delay. Mayor Wells is guilty on the second count charg- ing failure to expedite the bridge work by re- moving the officer responsible for the delay. Having identified the man who caused the de- Jay and the man who failed to remove the cause of the delay we now know whom to “cuss” for the delay. There is no longer any excuse for scattering the fire of our anathemas; they can be concentrated according to degrees of guilt on the right: objects. But nothing effective has been done to sub- gtitute action for delay. Unless minor contro- versies are thrust aside and public sentiment is wisely and uniformly concentrated on the demand for action the popular movement for the build- ing of the bridge is likely to degenerate into a farce. “If the bridge is to be built the whole force of public opinion must be directed to, the demand for prompt and efficient work by the public offi- cers whose duty it is to do the work in the way in which it ought to be done. a President O’Reilly admits his responsibility for fnitiative.

_ i. i i ie BARON ROCKEFELLER’S ANCESTORS. The secret is out. We know now how John D. Rockefeller has been able to accumulate the big- gest fortune in the world. He is of noble birth. His ancestors were barons in the olden time and did business in the narrow passes of the Appenines in the south of France. In those times barons kept tollgates in the passes. When the caravans passed their way they had to do business with the barons who lived in the grim castle haod by. (The castles were always grim.) And if, instead of a caravan it was a lonely traveler with money in his purse, he got his, too. The barons did not discriminate, they had no sliding scales and no most favored nation clause in their schedules. The duties were all on the level, and if anybody ever smuggled . art works or household goods through the pass without paying the baron the ladies. of “Boston and Chicago never heard of it. We knew there was some explanation. John D, comes of a business race, who did business in-a businesslike way in the good old days. It is a long distance from the baron bold who said ae ho!” to the quiet gentleman who sells oll 4n Chicago and Mandalay, but the line is straight

ithe part of the police in the primaries and inti- | tion, won’t he? THE POLICE AND ELECTION FRAUDS. In his interview on the election frauds Attor- ney-General Hadley directly charges apathy on mates that the Department cannot be relied upon to do its full duty in preventing frauds in the No- vember election. The efficiency of the Police Department in the work of protecting the polls from thugs and re- }peaters is up to Gov. Folk and his Police Com- missioners. Gov. Folk is pledged to the exer- cise of his whole power and influence in the ef- fort to compel efficient police work on election day. Rigid discipline, he says, will be enforced in the Department and the penalty of neglect or inefficiency will be dismissal. But the practical results on election day depend upon the actual work of the commissioners and the captains. If responsibility for the work is definitely fixed in advance and trustworthy men are placed on duty at every point, the work will be well done. It is better to prepare properly for good work than to punish for bad work. We believe that the main body of the police force is composed of trustworthy men who want to do right, and all that is required is to mark out for them their line of duty and let them understand their responsibility. In the past the crooked work in the Police Department has not been due to the patrolmen, but to the men “higher up,” who used the force for their base purposes. The Police Commissioners can assure the effective co-operation of the police to prevent election frauds. ‘ se gle

SOME POINTS ABOUT ST. LOUIS, MO. No doubt there are some things about Denver that St. Louis would do well to copy, as a con- tributor of one of the recent “Letters From the People’ pointed out. Likewise, there are several things about St. Louis that ought to excite the awe, admiration and emulation of every other town on top of dirt. The only trouble is that we do not stop to consider them often enough. Let us pause once more to reflect that St. Louis has, among other things, the prettiest girls,‘ handsomest residetices, grandest parks and finest saddle horses in the country, and more beautiful churches, more good people, more truth- ful real estate agents, bigger jobbing houses, more prosperous jobbers, better mothers-in-law, fewer poor relations and relatively more doctors starving to death than anywhere else in Christen- dom. | Don’t forget that this very city has the finest botanical gardens and tke floweriest Democratic orators on earth, the biggest bird cage, and the Jargest Circuit Attorney, the tallest National Committeeman, and the world’s most famous Justice of the Peace, not forgetting its foremost salve merchant. . St. Louis has the largest trolley system and the greatest electrical energy wetnurse in cre- ation. St. Louis has the’ best chewing tobacco and the most unique House of Delegates that ever existed. St. Louis has the best-educated barbers, the most punctual bartenders, the most obliging department floor managers, and the handsomest Board of Public Improvements on: terra i-rma. 3 St. Louis is the proud possessor of higher credit, deeper sincerity, has the best water sys- tem and the finest climate and the greatest fall trade in the United States; its sehmierkase, lager beer and German singing societies are superior to all others; it boasts the finest garbage boat, the pest Mayor’s secretary, the speediest steno- graphers and the slowest laundries in the entire world; and we challenge creation to produce an- other Carnegie Library ¢o match “ours when fin- ished. ' St. Louis, Mo., located in about the center of all the principal railroad maps of the Western Hemisrhere, fs at-once the greatest and the best town that ever grew, and it is worth bragging on ea:ly and often by all good citizens. When anybouy mentions the virtues of any other me- tropelis he ought to be promptly overwhelmed by a recounting of a few of our countless superlative attractions. . == a i Mr. O’Reilly, whom they spoke of so highly, must have run his hotel on an entirely different basis from that on which the Board of Public Improvements is conducted.

rr MR. ROOSEVELT AND THE POWDER TRUST. President Rogsevelt is reported to be very angry at Frank Hitchcock’s blunder in appoint- ing T. Coleman Du Pont, head of the Powder Trust, head of the Eastern Republican Speakers’ Bureau. Mr. Du Pont and-his trust are defendants in a prosecution instituted under the anti-trust act. Mr. Roosevelt knows that the case can’t be con- cluded before his teym expires and the duty of blowing up the concern will devolve upon his “heir.” If now Mr. Du Pont is employed in any capacity to promote Mr. Taft’s elgction, Mr. Taft will incur a moral obligation to dismiss prosecu- He can’t very well return evil for good. ‘ Mr. Hitchcock surely did blunder. In future he should not employ anybody for campaign serv- jices ur’ess he is sure he is not being prosecuted by -4r. Roosevelt. Perhaps the best way would be to have Mr. Roosevelt’s O K on everything done before it is done. That would make every- thing safe and correct. _

SOAKING THE SULTAN. Universal sympathy goes out to the Sultan of Dunaharra, whose punishment at the hands of the Philippine Supreme Court exceeds anything of the kind ever meted out to a mortal defendant. As they say in the police courts, the Sultan has been “soaked.” : } He ~ «8 convicted of having led a raid which resulte” in the killing of a United States private, and the insular tribunal fook the view that mere hanging was too good for him. So, besides being condemned to be hanged, His Majesty ‘is fined $1000 ané costs. ; This te bound to strike every reasonable mind as exorbitant, and we have no hesitancy in ad- yfruitful of much pleasure to the fine by every legal and proper means. Hanging would be fair enough—but to be muleted in addi- tion, that is too much! We are forced to con- clude that the example.of Judge Landis has had a demcralizing influence on Philippine courts. - s

When an English minister was asked to sup- press a book by Godwin as inimical to the estab- lished order he refused to act. “The price of the book is two guineas,” he said, and argued that none who would be injured by the philosopher’s deductions could pay that sum. The outcry against the recent flood of nauseous fiction takes no account of the fact that a similar argument may be made against the necessity for legally suppressing Herrick, Patterson, Glyn or Cross. So long as the public libraries do not contain the objectionable books the price—one dollar and a half—may be said to prohibit. wide circulation among those who are susceptible to injury. -If, however, the outcry should be too strident or continued too long the weaklings might be in- duced to steal in order that they may indulge in a salaceous feast. i i A With the cheapest coal and the cheapest gas St. Louis would be out of the debate on the ques- tion of advantages.

St. Louisans are soon to have another exhibition of the grip the United Railways Co. has on the town by the installation of the new fangled pay-as-you enter cars on the Olive street line, whereby no guilty man will be allowed to escape the payment of his nickel to the trust. But another phase of the matter is presented, for I am informed that the newsboys will not be allowed to board cars to dispose of their papers, thereby depriving thousands of pa- trons of the privilege of buying their morning and evening papers. The managers of the different newspapers should get together and arrange some Dilan to accommodate their readers. PAY-AS-YOU-GO. —-+~— One of the Problems. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

girls, no matter how aged and decrepit they are themselves. Perhaps it is partly because they have a better opportunity to meet them. A man knows a marriageable girl at a glance, while he cannot tell whether a woman is a widow or some man’s wife, so he seldom notices her. I belleve women who have raised their children and find themselves left to live their own lives as best they may could put a good deal more sunshine into any man’s life, of suitable age, for them than any young inexperi- enced girl. Give the oldér ones a show and there would not be many men who really wanted to marry left single. This is really getting to be one of the problems of the day. No nation leaves it so much to chance as the Americans do. There is a vast army of middleaged women who believe married life the happiest but see no possible way to realize that happiness, OND OF THAT ARMY.

A Widow’s Club. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am strongly in favor of the idea suggested by a “Lonely Widow," who Says, “Let us organize a club for ‘widows and widowers’ from 35 to 60 years of age.”” Let some one of the “widows’’ who has a home open her doors to the people of refinement and who stand well socially, having no homes or ways of becoming acquainted with congenial people. Let us see if we cannot organize a club that will be many “widows and widowers’ who now spend their evenings in loneliness. “WIDOW.”

A Lesson in Economy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There are many people in our large cities today missing opportunities for the simple reascn that they lack thought looking to a bright and comfortable future, especially in old age. They allow the frivoli- ties of the world to absorb their surpijus earnings, and when out of employment, or old age stares them in the face, many of them find themselves homeless and penniless and thus become dependent upon chari- ty or enter a suicide’s grave. For 12 years my wife and I struggled and saved, while others who earned more money than we had a good time. We started out to lay up for old age because we felt that we wanted to be independent fromM anyone, relatives as well as strangers. There was a subdivision ‘proper- ty put on the market at the time of our’ entrance upon a life of self-denial, in which we purchased a small lot for the sum of $175. We paid $25 down and $10 a month until paid. We then borrowed enough to put a small building on it. From that time on we used the money that we formerly gave to the land- lord and paid for our home. No theaters, no dances nor steamboat excursions, no porterhouse steaks nor mushrooms, but instead, good, plain “grub” and patched-up clothes. Our neighbors who were having a good time and wearing fine clothes didn’t take much notice of us at that time. Now, however, after 12 years of hard work, economy and self-denial, we are wearing good clothes, all our neighbors recognize us as Mr. So-and-So, and many seek our| compahy. Instead of paying rent, we are collecting about a hun- dred dollars a month, and we know that every dollar of it is ours, because we made it honestly. Y want to say to the yeunger generation, for whom’ ‘his ad- vice is intended: Lay your follies aside, take the money you are fooling away and buy a jot on time- payments in some cheap subdivision and put a shack on the back end'‘of it, thus saving your rent money. Then, through strict economy and g00d management. watch it grow. Don't pay any attention to the fool- ish remarks of your neighbors, for when your time comes to laugh you will find that the world ‘will laugh with you. And, O, how big you wi'l feel when that time. comes. Remember, though, that the be- ginning is slow and tedious, and the first thousand dollars the hardest to make. Be & good soldier and stick until the battle is won. ANBON. WALLACE’S DECLINATION. From the Kansas City Times. In declining to become a candidate for the United States Senate, Judge Wallace has helped the chances of Gov. Folk. To the same extent he has helped Missouri, for whatever helps Mr. Folk hurts Mr. Stone in the senatorial race now on. If Judge Wal- Jace had responded to the efforts-to get Lim into the contest—efforts that came largely from the. Stone element—he would not have broken up the concen- tration that will be made on the present Senate among the brewers, the privilege-seeking corpora tions, the saloon interests and the old machine crowd of politicians.

THE DISCONSOLATE. H, little boy, why look so sour? () Glad should be your every hour! | All summer long you've laughed . and played. Happy as a bird in the woodland glade! Oh, little boy, what weight of woe Rests upon your bosom so? And the little boy said, as he sighed, said he— “School begins next Tuesday—Gee!”’ Oh, little girl, with the dismal face, What's the trouble in your case? Nought you’ve done but dance and sing As the summer days their flight did wing, And now your visage is a full yard long! Oh, little girl, what has gone wrong? And the little girl said, with a wipe of the eye— “School begins next, Tuesday—My!” Oh, little boy, and Oh, little girl, School days are but a gladsome whirl! Never again such bliss you'll know, As now, when lessonward soon you go! Oh, little girl, and Oh, little boy, You're drinking Life’s best cup of joy! But the boy and the girl said, groaning a few— “School begins next Tuesday—Oooo0-0-0- 00!’ alin

BOYS ON THE PLAYGROUND. T WO little boys with doubled-up fists stood glowering at each other on the world’s playground. One was named Holland and the other Venezuela. ¢, ‘T’m going to ick you good!” cried Holland. “Come on!"’ cried Venezuela. And then they glowered at each other s0Mme more. “I’ve got a big brother, too!”’ said Holland. ‘‘His name’s France, and he’s ‘a fighter!” And then Venezuela laughed de- risively. “T’'ll tell him on you for that!”’ shout- ed Holland. ‘‘I’ll tell him you made fun of him—and he’ll lick you for me!” Whereupon the shrill treble arose: “Oh, France! Fr-an-ce! Oh, buddy!” And at this Venezuela ran around the corner, full of mockery. “Scare-cat! Scare-cat!’’ he shouted, putting shaming fingers to his nose, ‘‘Has to call in hts big brother to fight for film! Scare-cat!’’ And there you are.

Nina had re- tired, but Austin sat in the library, obstinately plodding through the last chapter of a brand-new novel. “This is a wretched excuse for sit- ting up,” he yawned, laying the book flat on the table, but still open, Then he removed his reading glasses, yawned again, and surveyed Selwyn from head to foot.

Soon afterward, whet he went away from home, she to him: “Wherever you are, whilst I have "ed my soul shall follow you.” In reply the Duke wrote: “I. do love and adore you with all my heart and soul. It is impossible to ex press with what a heavy heart I parted from you. I could have given my life to come back to you.” Just before the Duke left England on his Blenheim campaign he and Sarah had one of their bitter quarrels. As soon as he had gone Sarah was sorry for her anger and wrote him a tong letter asking forgiveness; to which he ~ answered: “It will be great pleasure to me % have it in my power to read this dear, dear letter often, and that it may be found in my strong-box when I am dead. Till I had this letter I have been very indifferent what should become of me. I had much rather the whole world So, with alternate quarrels and love scenes their married lfe continued. Whatever their other sins, they were faithful and wholly devoted to each oth- er. Then, at last, came reverses. Their sons died. There was no child to whom their wealth and high rank could de- jscend. To make matters worse, Sarah quarr eled with the Queen. Anne had for years patiently borne her friend's savage temper. But at last even her placid good nature gave out. There was a last hot quarrel, during which Sarah is said to have boxed the Queen's ears. As a result the Marlboroughs were dismissed from court. deprived of their high offices and made to feel te the full the humiliation that awaits a falien favorite of fortune. But the disgrace served only to draw them closer togeth- er.

She was at beautiful and was ene of the richest women in Great Britain. So she 4id not lack for suitors during the 22 years of existence that were left to her. But shegemained ever true to Mariborough's mory, refusing al! offers of matri- mony, and replying to the Duke ef Sony- erset, who besought her to marry hit: “I would not permit the Emperer of the whole world to win that heart whic has always been devoted to the Duke of Marlborough!” Previous numbers of this sertes wit be supplied upon application te Cir- Department, Post-Dispatch, eulation make her husband sorry for something mpon receipt ef 1-cent otamp each.

Danger Is of Pressure and Irri- tation of the Spinal Cord. St. Louis surgeons do not think thit Harry Bemus of Warren, Pa., has much chance to live with a spinal column partly his own and partly belonging to a dog. An injury to the boy's spine paralyzed the lower extremities. Unless operative relief were obtained, death was sure to ensue from secondary causes. The physicians took a desperate chance. The injured part of his spine was removed and part of the spinal column of a dog inserted. If the operation was so skill- fully done as to avoid pressure upon or irritation to the spinal cord and if there is sufficient vitality in the seg- ment of dog’s spine for union with the boy’s spine to take place the boy may live, but St. Louis surgeons who have nce ah the operation are not san- Dr. Walter C. G. Kirchner, Superin- tendent of the City Hospital, said: “‘As far as I can see, the operation would not be necessary or advisable. It would be a very unsatisfactory operation and the result would be exceedingly doubt- ful. But of course I would have to know more of the circumstances of the/ case before deciding whether the opera- tion should have been performed and what chances there are, if any, for the recovery of the boy. Cemplete Paralysis Means Death. “Where there is such injury to the spine a’ to cause complete paralysis of the extremities, death follows from sec- ondary effects. If the paralysis is only partial nerve regeneration may take place and the full use of the extremities be regained.”’ Dr. G. Wiley Broome sald: “I do not think there can be a successful out- come. Nothing like the operation de- ' peribed has ever been performed by re- putable physicians. The implantation of bone along the spinal column is irra- Yonal. It is next to impossible to en- f@ompass the cord passing through the opening in the spinal colmn from one end to the other. without cee or interference. =. . — mm “Bone implantation “weld not con- The oper- unsafe and it *> impossible to avoid pressure, whi): is the thing that must be avoided.

If tre space is net too great this will be ficae.” *. Not Surprising, Says Dr. Dalton, Dr. H. C. Dalton sald: “Surgeons are doing all kinds of wonderful things nowadays. It wouwdn’t surprise me greatiy @ they would succeed. in per- forming such an operation as the one described. It is conceivable that upion might take place.

If the operation is Gone skilfully enough to avoid pressure, thea the question is whether the im- planted portion has enough vitality and blood supply for union to take place. if union should fail to take place the implanted part would act as a foreign body and have to be removed and the operation would have failed. It is such an extremely delicate operation that the chances of success are very slight.” “RASCALS” PLAY “CUT-UPS” BASKET BALL GAME TONIGHT Girls’ Teams Will Be Made Up by Lot in Contest for Benefit of Church.

LONG WHISKERED RATS (IN ALTON) CLIMB GRAPEVINES AND STEAL FRUIT BY BUNCH Thieves, Caught Red-Handed, Are Suspected of Manufacturing Champagne.

Rats. Alton nature-fake rats with long whiskers climb grapevines, nip off big bunches of the juicy fruit with their teeth and carry them away. They press the juice out of the grapes and make rat-champagne—maybe. The investigation of their antics hasn’t gone that far, but, if they do, trust Alton to make the discovery and spread the news. Mrs. Mack Emory of 907 Liberty street kept missing fine bunches of grapes. She accused the neighbors’ chickens. But grapes were being taken from the neigh- bors’ arbors the same way. All the women in the block got their heads together at a kaffee-klatsch and agreed to pen up their chickens for a week. They did this, but still the grapes were taken. Even Alton, which always has an explanation for anything that happens, was mystified. ‘ Volunteer guards with shotguns watched the arbors. No human thieves appeared. Yet when morning came the choicest bunches would be gone. Friday, just at dusk, Mrs. George Bau- man, looking through the kitchen win- dow, saw the solution of the mystery. A big rat came from the barn. Stealth- ily he approached the grape arbor. After looking about to make sure that he was not observed, he climbed a stout vine and nipped off a big bunch of grapes. Holding it in his teeth, he dropped to the ground, then scampered off to the barn with his prize. In a few minutes a smaller rat came from the barn and repeated the per- formance. UNABLE TO RETURN TO HER NATIVE LAND, GIRL KILLS HERSELF BY ACID IN PARK Mistress of Housekeeper Who Came From, Germany Three Years Ago Is Confident She Had No Love Affair. Margrita Huffenus, 21 years. old, killed herself by swallowing carbolic acid in Tower Grove Park Friday. She is believed to have taken her life be- cause she could not return to Ger- many, where her relatives live. Miss Huffenus had been in this country for three years. She was em- ployed as housekeeper for Mrs. Kate Spann at 2236 Gaine street. She had been alone in the house much of the time, as the Spanns were in Europe. They returned last week.

REPLY 10 VANDIVER Superintendent of Insurance Says Attorney-General Was Derelict. Attcrney-Geperal Herbert Hadley said to a Post-Dispatch reporter in Jefferson City today that he would | reply soon to the interview given by W. D. Vandiver, in which the State Insurance Superintendent charged that Hadley had been derelict in the in- vestigation of insurance companies al- leged to be insolvent. According to Vandiver, when Haa- ley left the State the Insurance De- partment*¢was able to get better re- sults, through the co-operation of As- sistant Attorney-General John Ken- nish, than had been possible while Hadley was on the ground. Vandiver called attention to Had- ley’s “attitude in the matter of the Great Western Life Insurance Co. of Kansas City i intormad him that I believed the company insolvent, and asked him, as Attorney- General, to wind up the affairs of the company,” said Van- diver. “He agreed in part with some of my findings, but refused to proceed against the company, on the ground that it had met existing obligations and that future obligations could not be taken into account. “I was amazed at this attitude. There was no excuse for allowing the company to continue to collect mon- ey from the people, selling addition- al stock and placing $197,000 of the people’s money in a venture which was failing. The Attorney-General, however, refused to act, and at a late date owners of the company themselves were obliged to fulfill the State’s functions.” OBJECTS TO POLICE REPORT

Woman Ordered From Merry-Go- Round Was Thrown Off, Hus- band Says, by Sudden Stop. Frank P. Furlong, 1716 Longfellow boulevard, whose wife was thrown from a merry-go-round at Forest Park High- Jands Thursday, was indignant when he learned that the police: report referred to his wife’s injury as slight. He said her right ankle was broken. “It was not an accident such as the police report describes,” he said. “My wife was thrown from the Flying Dutchman while she was holding her baby. She purchased a ticket, but did not think it necessary to buy one for the baby. The machine was in motion when the collector demanded two tick- ets. When my wife informed him she purchased only one he ordered her to get off. The machine stopped sudden- ly and she was pitched’from the horse.”’ Policemen Dolan and Pine, in their report of the affair, stated that Mrs. Furlong had no ticket and accidentally fell from the merry-go-round while try- ing to alight. * ST, LOUIS BALLOON MAY NOT TRY FOR GORDON BENNETT CUP War Department Said to Have Refused Pilot Lahm Leave of Absence.

Hawley would be the only representative from the United States. generally understood the would have three entries, said Mr. Kearney. Lieutenant Lahm McCoy and A. Holland Forbes were to pilot the balloons. An alternate had been selected for each, so there would be no failure of any entry. Lieutenant Lahm’s alternate was a Massachusetts man selected by the Aero Club of America, with which the St. Louis club is affiliated. Mr. Kearney had not been informed that Hawley would be a contestant. e New York dispatches say Lahm would not be granted a leave of ab- sence because the balloon he was to pllot was made in France, and it was the desire no officer of the army should pilot other than an American made balloon. It was stated this was de- nied by Government officials. Secretary Kearey of the St. Louls Aero Club received a letter Saturday morn- ing from Lieut. Lahm, who stated that owing to his duties in the ariny he would not be able to participate in the international balloon race in Berlin ctober. He substituted Mr. Arnold of Massachusetts, who will take his place in the St. Louis car. NORTH MISSOURI ALL FOR FOLK: REPORTS STATE secatacas | W. L.

LEWIS AND HICKS FAVOR NEW CITY Mass Meeting Shows 700 Want Wellston Incorporated— Opposition Plans.

Many persons who were at first op- posed to incorporation of Weliston were induced to sign the peuition for ineorpo- ration at a mass meeting at Easton and Evergreen avenues, Friday night. Speeches were made by B. L. Mat- thews of Clayton, E. G. Lewis and Eu- gene Ex Slevin of Ferguson. Irl’ R. Hicks presided. More than seven hundred signatures in favor of incorporation have been se- cured. The principal reason why the resi- dents of Wellston desire incorporation is that they want the district sewered and lighted and police protection. The nearest fire station is now nearly three miles from the county line, and there are so few lights that the district is in semi-darkness. Wellston pays a county, State and school tax of $1.32. A city tax would only amount to 50 cents more and would give the district lights, sewerage and police protection. The advocates of incorporation say that the advantages will be better pub- lic utilities and an increased valuation of property and cite the cases of Fergu- son and Clayton, E. G. Lewis of University City said incorpation would increase realty values immensely, ‘The opponents of incorporation will meet at Conrad’s saloon, on the edge of Weliston, in the county, Saturday night, and sfly they will beat the incor- poration advocates with many more names to the petitions gd will pre- sent,

EPovarvy-KNOTT Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Knott, Married Half Century Ago, Have Lived in Kirkwood 17 Years. Judge and Mrs. Edward W. Knott, who have been residents of Kirkwood for 17 years, celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary last night at their home. Many old friends passed the evening with them. Judge Knott came to Misseuri from Lebanon, Ky., in 1851, making Memphis his first residence in the State. There he met, wooed and won Mrs. Knott. Nearly 20 years ago they moved te Kirk- wood, where they have since resided. Judge Knott is 75 years old, and his wife eight years younger. While resid- ing in Memphis: he served as the Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. During the reception iast night Judge Knott’s friends forced him to relate ex- periences of his courtship and Mrs. Knott blushingly admitted the truth of stories which showed that the Cupid of the olden days is the same little God now making hearts happy. Judge Knott is the youngest member of his family. His two brothers, Sam C. Knott of Memphis, Mo., and Proctor Knott of Lebanon, and his sister, Mrs. Minnie Nesbit of Memphis, are all older than he.

Chicagoans Go to Tennessee and Dig Up the Treasure.

Sperial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—W. J. Clarke and his sister, Mrs. Frank W. Guilford, wife of a superintendent of Swift & Co., re- turned today from Chattanooga with a package containing a large roll of cur- rency and some gold coin. The fear that some needy person would be loser induced Mrs. Guilford and her brother to make public the fact that they had feund the money. They said the journey of 1000 miles was made at he promptings of a child named Martha, who is known only in the spirit world. This spirit child, Mrs. Guilford says, guided her to the spot where the money was found. “Martha” Gave the “Tip.” “Three years ago,’ said Mrs. Guilford, “Martha” told me she knew where a lot of money was buried. She told me so many things that were true that l believed her. “This summer shc was more per- sistent than ever. She said the money was buried under a big flat rock on the outskirts of Chattanooga. W. M. Wil- ber offered to pay my expenses if Il would go after it. My brother and I left here Aug. 22. ‘‘Martha told us to take a street car and cross a high bridge. The car ran on Market street. She directed me through a golf grounds and up a hill, where we came to the big flat stone. Treasure Wrapped in Tin Foil. ‘My brother removed it and under some leaves was the package of money wrapped in tinfoil.” Clarke verified his sister’s statement. The spirit child, he said; told them that the owner of the money was dead. They refused to tell the amount of the trea- sure. They showed two $50 bills, one of which was issued by the Bristol County Bank of Taunton, Mass., signed by S. S. Cushman, president, and A. H. Fel- low, cashier. The other was a gold cer- tificate. Mrs. Guilford belongs to no spiritual- istic society, but says she has psychic powers as a medium. —_——— = The New Wonder in Watches. one Can Now Own It.

CANDIDATES WOULD OPEN BOXES

County Contést Develops No Ob- jections to Recount. The taking of depositions in the elec- tien contest cases in St. Louis County has developed that none of the contest- ing candidates will object to the ballot boxes being opened, though their attor- neys express doubt that the boxes can be opened under agreement of the can- didates because of the law providing for @ secret ballot. Edward Burkhardt, a Republican judge of election, testified that in count- ing the ballots he had read the name of George Lehman for Judge of the County Court when he should have read the name of Huthmacher, an opposing can- didate. He did it for a joke, he said. When a recount was demanded by an- other Republican judge it was feund Lehman had been given six more votcs than he was entitled to and that the vote really stood, Lehman 119, Huth- macher 120.
