FEARING DEFEAT, ASK FOLKS AID —— Alarmed by Disaffection in State, Candidate’s Managers Offer Olive Branch.

NO PLEDGE OBTAINED

-Governor’s Friends in St. Louis Already Had Agreed to Support Ticket. CONFERENCES ARE HELD Kansas Cityan Said to Have ‘Decided to Keep Out of Senatorial Fight.

St. Louis friends of William 8. Cow- herd, many of whose political support- ers are also supporters of Senator Wil- liam J. Stone, alarmed over reports of defections in the strong Democratic counties, have appealed to the friends of Gov. Folk to save the Democratic gubernatorial candidate from defeat at the November election. With approximately two-thirds of the Democratic votes cast against Cowherd in the August primaries, and with wide- spread dissatisfaction over the results in St. Louis, the Cowherd supporters felt that unless they could obtain the cordia! co-operation of Gov. Folk's ftiends in behalf of the head of the ticket, Mr. Cowherd’s chances of election in Novem- ber were very slight. Conference With Lewis, Accordingly, Harry B. Hawes, Col- lector James Hagerman, Ralph Coale, president of the Jefferson Club; Hiram Philips and Richard Hanlon made over- tures to the Folk men in St. Louls and arranged for a conference that was held n the office of E. S, Lewis, a staunch olk supporter. P men were interested principally in getting the Folk men, to Agree to support the Democratic nomi- nee. As some of Cowherd’s staunchest friends have been actively supporting Senator Stone in his contest for re-eléc- ition against Gov. Folk, they feared that the Folk men might retaliate and refuse to vote for the Democratic nominee, Cowherd’s friends were ready to pledge themselves not to take any part in the senatorial contest if the Folk men would support the party nominee. Friendly Conference, He Says, E. 8S. Lewis said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter: “The meeting was a friendly conference for an interchange of ideas and information. No dickers, trades or agreements were suggested by any one, as all present had declared their pur- pose to support Mr. Cowherd for gov- _ ernor.” The first meeting was held Saturday morning in Mr. Lewis’ office. The Folk supporters held a second meeting at the Washington Hotel Saturday night to discuss the situation among themselves. A committee was appointed to look aft- er the interests of Gov. Folk in the senatorial contest. Mr. Cowherd’s managers are said to have promised this committee that he will keep out of the senatorial fight. Besides Mr. Lewis, friends of Gov. Folk who attended the conference were: Frank M. Estes, Coal Oil Inspector Culp, William T. Jones and Lon Saunde:.. One of the men who attended the sec- ond conference said: “The Folk men made no overtures whatever to Mr. Cowherd’s friends. Cowherd's friends came to the Folk men and solicited their support. They know that there is a great deal of dissatisfac- tion among Democrats over the manner in which Mr. Cowherd was nominated. and they were afraid that unless the Folk men enthusiastically supported the nominee he would be beaten. Folk Men Not Alarmed. “Mr. Cowherd is the man who is sail- ing: on a squally sea—not Gov. Folk. The Cowherd organizations have been every- where against Folk, and his friends at last realize that if this attitude is main- tained he has no chance to be elected. “The Cowherd men, headed by Mr. Hawes, sought a conference with the Governor’s friends, and the result is that Mr. Cowherd has personally givea his word that he will not take any part in the senatorial contest. “So‘far as the Folk men are con- cerned, they were not particularly in- terested as to Mr. Cowherd’s attitude, for they felt that they were able to make their own fight.” Man for Commi Harry B Hawes told a Post. ‘Dispatch reporter in Jefferson City Tuesday that a strong Folk man will be placed on the Executive Committee of the State Committee, in pursuance of an agree- ment to keep the State Committee from participating in the Stone-Folk sena-. torial contest.. He said: “The State committee wants to elect Cowherd and it wants the friends of Gey, Folk to help. In return, the State committee will keep its hands off of Folk's fight against Stone. This ar- rangement will make no change in the line-up, The Btone men are still for Stone and the Folk men are for Folk. ‘The prestige and power of the party me: ‘Machinery will not be thrown to either parol # gp an uncle of Goy.

The moment Chief Smith heard “safe robbery,” he turned in a riot call for all his available men. Detectives Schenk, Hannigan, Ryan and Kilker ran all the way from head- quarters to Landzettel’s office. “Hiow much have you lost?’ asked in chorus. “T had $50 cash and $ worth of stamps,’ said Landzettel, wringing his hands. ‘‘Probably all gone.”’ The detectives plunged into the safe. They found $50 in cash, $ in stamps, and valuable papers. Then they made a \microscopic examination of the pow dery substance, and found that it was 4 years’ acqumulation of dust. The screws, they say, had fallen out of place like teeth loosened” by old age. ‘“‘Ne robbery,’ was the detectives’ of- ficial report. ee ficial statement. PLATE-BREAKING CEREMONY BECOMES HEAD-BREAKING GAME AT POLISH WEDDING Man !Who Shattered Plate With Dollar Was to Kiss Bride and Quarrel Resulted. Louis Mislaer and Mary Giers were married Monday afternoon at 1626 North Broadway, and, following the Polish custom, the guests threw dollars at china plates for the chance of kissing the bride. One who broke the plate had a right to kiss the bride. One who missed the plate missed the kiss. Gus Schultz of 120 Mullanphy street, Joseph Roski of 1412 Mullanphy street and Peter Cardo ef 1218 Cass avenue got: into a three-cornered controversy about it and reversed the game and tried te break each other's heads with china. plates. If there had been a prize in the head-breaking game Cardo would have won it. He broke Schultz's head.

JILTED SUITOR TRAILS RIVAL ACROSS OCEAN AND SLAYS HIM {talian Stabs Husband of Girl He Loved With Stiletto on Cleve- land Street. CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 8.—Rivaliry for the hand of a woman, which began in Sicily several years ago, resulted in a murder here today when Angelo Mazzo was stabbed through the heart by Car- men Bulone. Both men leved the same girl in Porta, Sicily, but Mazzo won and married the young woman. Bulone swore vengeance. In order to escape Bulone’s wrath the couple came to America. Bulone, however, followed them, and this morning, on a crowded thoreugh- fare, killed Mazzo with a stiletta. Bulone fled, but was captured as he was about to board a train for New York.

Demand to Be Made on House Committee for Immediate Report. a

THESE MEN ARE HOLDING UP NATURAL GAS BILL Here are the members of the House of Delegates Public Im- provements Committee which, without satisfactory explanation, in preventing action on the natu- ral gas bill: Chairman W. J. Brennan, Demo- crat, Sixteenth Ward; James J. Gallagher, Democrat, Third Ward; Frank Simmons, Republican, Tenth Ward; Mathew Tobin, Demoocrat, Fourteenth Ward; Frank Weeke, Republican, Sevennteenth Ward; Joseph Schell, Republican, Ninth Ward; Charlea (Cap) Troll, Re- publican, Eighth Ward.

Three of the leading mercantile and civic organizations of St. Louis will con- sider at their meetings this week a means of compelling the Public Im- provements Committee of the House of Delegates to report the natural. gas bill or give reasons for withholding measure from a vote. The bill grants a franchise to a com- pany, promoted by Attorney George V. Reynolds, to pipe natural gas from Kansas and Oklahoma and distribute it to St. Louls consumers at 36 cents a thousand feet. The United Light, Heat and Power Committee, representing several asso- ciations, will meet Tuesday night at the Planters Hotel, Secretary George Emer- son told a Post-Dispatch reporter Tues- day that the committee regards the nat- ural gas bill as advantageous legislation mand on the House of Delegates for prompt action. “IT am certain from personal inquiry that the bill will receive a majority of the votes in the House of Delegates if it is reported, whether favorably or ad- versely,’ said Mr. Emerson: Four Promise Support. “Four of the si: members of the Pub- lic Improvements Committee have stated that they will support the measure when it comes before the Fv-use. Two mem- bers decline to say whether they will vote for the bill, but have not expressed themselves as unreservedly against it. Six of the seven members of the committee announce’ themselves as willing to place the bill before the House. In view of that situation, we should like to know why the bill is kept in committee, where neither its benefits nor its weaknesses can be discussed by other members of the House. Jt is likely that the United Light, Heat and Power Committee will rein- force its written request for disposition of the bill by a. personal visit of its members to the House of Delegates next Friday night. The committee pro- cedure will be decided at its meeting Tuesday night.”’ West End Association te Act. “When the utilities committee of the West End Business Men's Association reports to that organization Wednesday night it is probable, according to Presi- dent C. R. Lupton, that its recommen- dations for the passage of the natural gas bill will be supplemented by a sug- gestion that a body of members be sent to the House of Delegates to urge im- mediate consideration of the measure. “The bill may not be ideal,’’ Mr. Lup- ton said, “but it represents a long step toward competition and an escape from monopoly. The West End Business Men’s Association is committed to the passage of the natural gas bill and will renew its efforts to have the House of Delegates do something. “If necessary, a delegation of our members will be on hand at every meet- ing of the House to show that there is a public need and demand for this leg- islation. “With six of the seven members of the Public Improvements Committee of the House on record as desiring a re- port on the bill, I don’t see why it is not at once reported.”’ Merchants for Measure. Ben Westhus of the South Broad- Way Merchants’ Association, believes that the House of Delegates will: pass the natural gas bill. “IT think the delegates are not in- clined, and certainly cannot afford to defeat so popular and important a bill,” he said. ‘The South Broadway Mer- chants’ Association is, of course, earn- estly in favor of the pending bill. We? have investigated all its provisions and conditions and are satisfied that the bill will insure cheap gas and competi- tion, both for public and private busi- ness. Unfortunately, the association doesn’t meet until the third. Tuesday of the month. At that time, however, I feel sure that the association will again ap- point a committee to help in getting the House of Delegates to move. North St, Louis Urges Action.

ae eo Tony Pepenbroek, Farber Since 1868, Declares New Style Allows Better Ventilation and Gives the Young Koots a Chance.

Here's hope for the near-hairless. The hew-style pompadour, now waving in our midst, makes the hair grow. Un- der the pompadour stimulus, luxurious locks will stay luxurious and hair that has begun te fall off will take a fresh hold and stay on. The bald heads are not to be in on this. The result igs to be accomplished the. breezes, -soughing- softly” the standing hair. The baldhead has no hair to stand up, therefore there is nothing for the soft breezes to sough through and, also therefore, no benefits for the soft breezes to confer. Louls men will be going around with manes as big as bushel baskets. Tony Pepenbroek, who has been cut- ting men’s hair in St. Louis since 1868, Says the new style is going to greatly increase the hair crop and gradually eliminate the bare pate from the land- scape. Pompadour Is Good Thing. Tony was asked if he could talk and trim hair at the same time. ‘I am a barber,’ he said with dignity. Then he proceeded to show how he could talk and trim at the same time. “The new pompadour is a very thing for the hair,” he said as he snipped. “Do you know why so many men are getting bald now? It’s on ac- count of the plastered-flat style of the past several years. Plastering the hair down on both sides smothers the tender young undergrowth of hair and keeps it from thriving. The pompadour allows better ventilation and gives the young hair a chance. 1 think the new pompa- dour will stay in style a long time and the longer it stays the longer will the hair grow and fewer will be the bald- heads.”’ It differs from the pampadour which was the whole thing in the hirsute line from 12 to 15 years ago. That pompa- g00d When the new style gets going, St.. dour was a short, bristling one. Some could achieve it and some could not. The one coming in now is easier to ne- gotiate. It is not a bristling pompadour. It is worn long enough to lay back in precisely the way you did not want °* to lie back the other time. Any man can have a pompadour of the right kind now by simply combing his-fair back’ fromm: nis forehead. If Het can keep it frem falling over his eyes he has a pompadour. It ean be worn with a part or without and the part can be almost anywhere from ear to. ear. But no matter where the part is, the rest of the hair must be pointed back- ward. 'isvo Changes of Style, Since the pompadour was here the last time there have been two _ distinct changes of style, not counting the im- pending one. From the bristling. pompa.- dour, men went to bangs of the short and cute variety. These grew into the long front hair, plastered down on each side, which has been the style for sev- eral vears. In the 40 years that Pepenbroek has been cutting hair in St. Louis he has seen many changes, not only in hair styles, but also in barber shop cus- toms. He recalls the time when the old Postoffice at Third and Olive streets drew so many men to that part of the city that a 10-chair shop in the block with the Merchants-Laclede National Bank had to keep track of the waiting list by the issuance of numbered checks. He has seen the time when as many as 150 checks would be out at one time. A man came into the shop and was given a check, the number of which in- dicated his turn. He then could stroll outside or transact business in the block, using as much time as he judgea would elapse before his number was reached, and then go back and be bar- bered without losing: his turn.

LAMBERT SAILS TUDAY ON FIRST AMERICAN FLIGHT A. —_

Councilman Albert Bond Lambert an- nounced Tuesday morning that his as- cension in H, E. Honeywell's new bal- loon would be made between 3 and 4 p. m. Tuesday from the gas plant at Sec- ond and Rutger streets. Mr. Lambert said he hardly expected to remain in the air all night, but might do so if the balloon proved to be free from leaks. The wind seems likely to carry the balloon in a northeasterly course, toward Springfield or Mattoon, Ill., though Mr. Lambert is not sure he will get that far. The ascent will be the first made in the United States by Mr. Lambert, who won a pilot’s license by several ascen- sions in and near Paris. Mr. Honeywell, who made the new balloon, will accompany Mr. Lambert. The ascension will serve as a test of the bag, Auhich has a capacity of %,000 cubic feet of gas. The Pommern, which won last fall's international race from St. Louis, had a capacity of 8,000 cubic‘ feet. Mr. Lambert is the first of the wealthy } members of the Aero Club to qualify as @ practical balloon pilot. L. D. Do- zier, president of the club, has left for Berlin to attend the races there in October. yand

When August Kliane was arraigned in the Clark Avenue Police Court Tues- day the clerk turned to Judge Tracy said: ‘‘Your Honor, this man is deaf and dumb.

He was a dying man when his wife next saw him. “At 11 o’clock last Tuesday night,” Mrs. Rustin testified, in a sweet voice, varied occasionally by a wan smile at her questioner, “Fred telephoned me he was on the way home. I sat awhile longer and as he did not come I went to bed.”’ “Some time in the night,”’ continued Mrs. Rustin, “I was startled by a re- volver report which didn’t seem to come from our front porch, but from the cor- ner 50 feet away.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 8 —The Democratic State Convention to adopt a State platform met this afternoon in th: Cole County Courthouse, following the meeting of the State Committee in the Capitol. Congressman Champ Clark called the convention to order as temporary chair- man. W. H. Hambaugh of Fairfax was temporary secretary; Capt. J. B. Tolin of Jefferson City, sergeant-at-arms, and D. E. MeDowell of Joplin, doorkeeper. The organization of the committee was perfected harmoniously, the officers be- ing elected by acciamation. Chairman Harry M. Rubel was re-élected, A. L. Harty of Bloomfield was made secre- tary and A, J. Hawkins of Eminence, treasurer. Sh 4 The threatened contest over the secre- taryship did not materialize. Ed. T. Orear of Kansas City and W. H. Ham- baugh, who had been candidates, with- drew a few minutes before the commit- tee met, leaving Harty the only candi- date. | The following committee was chosen to investigate the contest in the Tenth St. Louis District between Joseph Hannauer and Joseph Henderie on one side and J. C. A. Hiller and Henry Quelmalz on the other: B. H. Rucker, C. J. Stanton, W., H. Powell, Dr. A. E. Platler and Thom- as E. Kinney. This committee met immediately and will report to the State Committee its recommendations. Asa result of conferences of the Dem- ocratic and Republican State leaders preceding the meeting of the new State committees the important planks of. the two State platforms are practically agreed upon. The platforms will be adopted at the conventions, They must be completed and filed with the Secretay of State by $ Pp. m. Wednesday under the new primary law. Mr. Hadley himself has received all the planks submitted for the Republican platform and has endeavored to “edit"’ them into a vote-winning platform. Republican leaders say that the plat- form will declare against prohibition. but in favor of local option and the en- forcement oPSaw as it stands, not ex- cepting the Sunday closing law. It will express its dissatisfaction with the present senatorial primary law and recommend that it be amended to pro- vide that the senatorial candidates be selected at some time other than gen- eral election day.

Dickey ‘“Takes No Chips.” Even Chairman Dickey, who Howe says won't do because he is-.for Kerens, has quit talking about the next Senator. “I’m taking no chips in the senatorial gume,”’ he said this morning and re- quested that he be quoted in that exact poker metaphor. - Mr. Hadley and the other leaders, with the exception of Jeptha Howe. are silent

—_—— on their senatorial preference now. But Mr. Howe still wants it known that he and his St. Louis organization is for Kennish and emphatically against -Kerens. Col. Kerens arrived late last night.

Ball, defeated Democratic j candidate for the nemination for Gov- ernor, will act as assistant to Arthur Sager, Republican Circuit Attorney of St. Louis, in the latter’s fight to open the ballot boxes containing the votes at the primary. | From his home, Louisiana, Mo., Ball wrote to Sager, volunteering to assist in the arguments before the Supreme Court during the hearing on Judge Gantt’s temporary writ of prohibition, which was issued after Judge Wilson A. Tay- lor of the Court- of Criminal Correction had ordered that the boxes be opened. Sager was delighted by. the prospect of Ball’s appearance before the Supreme Court as tl.e Circuit’s Attorney’s ally. Democrats Helping Him, “IT now have the Democratic candidate for Governor and the WYemocratic police force of St. Louis helping me uncover election frauds,’ said Sager to a Post- Dispatch reporter. “That does away with the charge that the investigation is a partisan affair.” Judge Taylor, in the Court of Crim- inal Correction Tuesday, overruled the motion to quash the informations issued against William Gmache, Thomas’ Mc- Grath, John Sullivan, Walter Guilford and Ernest Von Stade, charging that, as judges and clerks in the Second Pre- ¢inct of the Third Ward they made fraudulent election returns. Judge Tay- lor set their preliminary hearing for 2 p. m. and the State, represented by Cir- euit Attorney Sager, will urge an early trial. : The motions to quash were made by Attorneys C. Orrick Bishop of St. Louis and Hugh C. Brady of Kansas City. They argued that clerks could not be coupled with judges in informations charging fraud. Judge Taylor held, however, that under the law governing -primary elections the clerks are assist- ants to the judges, and, as such, can be ‘accused in “blanket” informations. No Penalties, Is Argument. Attorneys Bishop and. Brady argued falso that the primary law does not pro- vide for fraudulent returns. pe In reply, Judge Taylor wrote the. fol- lowing memorandum and handed it to the attorneys for the defense: “It is urged that the part of the pri- mary law (sectiors 31 and 32) which un- dertakes to apply the provisions of the general election law to the general pri- mary are invalid and do not apply to section 2116, upon which this action is based. oO “Whatever might be said of the meth- od of writing the penalties - into the law, it is manifest that,the lawmakers who passed the primary law intended to write into it, so to speak, the provisions of the general election law. The vitality this is plain it should have effect.”

A cablegram which has just been sert to Kim ‘‘collect’’ from France says that the stump of the Rockefeller familiy tree has been found there by Dr. Aaron B. Leads who has been looking for it for eight years. Now that Dr. Leads has found the stump he doesn’t know whether to pul: it or blast it out with dynamite. He is waiting for instructions. Original Name “Roquefeull.” At the little town of Fahr, near Nan- tes he found records which showed thit a family named Roquefeuil lived there geveral hundred years before oil was struck. The French dictionary shows that this mame is made up of two words, “roquet,” meaning a pug-dog anda “feuil,”’ meaning a leaf, a sheet of paper, a manifest, a way bill, or a bil) of lading. According to the rules of French ammar the “‘t’”’ in roquet was droppea When the word was joined to another fommencing with a consonant. | This “t’ out of their name is about bermitted to get away from them.

Since then the family has run that pug dog up to a billion. Maybe the pug was killed in transit and damages were col- lected by the original Roquefeuil. Great oaks from little acrons grow. From the fact that John D.

TUESDAY—8T. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—SEPTEMBER 8, 1908.

FOLK THREATEN POLICEMEN WH BELONG TO CLUBS [“eclares They Shall Not Be Members of Political Bodies.

WANTS FAIR ELECTION

Commissioners to Demand Sight of Rolls of Various Organizations.

Declaring his intention to divorce the St Louis Police Department absolutely from politics, Gov. Folk announced at Jefferson City Tuesday that he will re- quest the Board of Police Commissioners to ascertain if any members of the po- lice force belong to the Jefferson Club Or any other political organizations. According to the Governor's informa- tion, 500 patrolmen, probably a dozen sergeants and at least three captains are actively identified with the Jefferson Club. These; men are said to have ignored the Police Board's recent ultimatum thar all members of the department must cease their associations with politica: organizations. Gov. Folk believes that the facts can be brought to light by a Police Board inquiry embracing an affidavit from ev- ery member of the department as to whether or not he is a member of a political club. At the same time, the Governor or hits Board of Police: Commissioners, will de- mand from the Democratic and Repub- lican organizations, including the St. Louis Democratic and Jefferson clubs, the records of their organization, show- ing whether members of the department are on the rolls, and such other data as may be necessary to throw light on the investigation. In this way, Gov. Folk hopes to obtain fina] information as to the attitude of the police department toward the politi- cal machines. He has been told that several of the present police officials fre hostile to his administration and make no secret of their purpose to treat with indifference any order which may affect their future political prospects.

Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. — The things that we oughtn’t to do seem to be the only ones that make life worth living. The reason a woman will go in swim- ming is so she must buy anovel to read while drying her halr. There’s hardly any form of spending money a man can’t get some sort of satisfaction out of except paying ns Mrs. W. E. Reynoids of 3420A Bell ave- nus has laid on the dining room table her request for police reiief from the music of the new piano in the next flat, where the family of Max Feldman lives. Members of the George Eliot Literary Society, which met at the Feldman home on one of the nights of which Mrs. Reynolds complained that she and her boarders were kept awake, say the so- ciety adjourned before 10 p. m., and that

SHE IS HOLDING IN ABEYANCE HER COMPLAINT ABOUT NOISY NEIGHBORS any late noise must have come from other guests, who appeared as the soci- ety meeting was breaking up. Mrs. Reynolds told the police that her three boarders had threatened to leave unless they were able to get more’sleep. Since her complaint became Known, the occasion for it has diminished, and Mrs Reynolds now hopes to save the carfare which she meant to spend in consulting the City Attorney about a peace dis- turbance summons.

COLTRA VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE BRYAN?AND KERN CLUB Louisan Elected at Head of Organization to Push Tariff Reform. E. F.

~ ROBBERS FIND GOLD N SLUICE BONE Alaskan Mine Owners Believe Loot Is Worth Thousands of ~ Dollars.

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 8.—Sluice-box robberies have been made within two weeks on four of the largest claims in the Nome district. Robberiés of this character have of late become more and more frequent. The four big claims that have just been robbed are the Bessie, Lakeview, No. 13 Dry Creek and No. 13 Osborne Creek. Just how much gold has been stolen is not known, but it {is believed that the robbers made away with thou- sands of dollars’ worth of dust. The police have been active and two sus ts have been arrested since the sluice boxes on the four big claims were raided. The police believe they have broken up the band of sluice-box thieves. Alarmed at the robberies, the sluice boxes on these and other claims are be- ing closely guarded.

WAGONMAKER AND MODEL OF AIRSHIP HE EXPECTS TO FLY WITH WINGS LIKE A FEATHERED BIRD ooo? — = aye

MEDEN’S AIRSHIP WILL BE | ASSERTS WIFE

we Capital to Build Wagormaker Has Constructed Model That He Says Will Fly Like a Bird—Now He Wants Large Machine.

John Meden, 1940 North Eleventh street, has patented an airship which he hopes will prove a bird. At least he expects it to flutter around in the air like a bird. Just now he has only a model of the invention, but he is looking for some one who is willing to risk a few hun- dred dollars to build a machine that will fly. “Tt will make both of us rich,”’ he declared to a Post-Dispatch reporter Four years ago he began to evolve theories on how to construct a real fly- ing machine. The idea was suggested by a friend who occasionally dropped into Meden’s wagon making establish- ment and talked about airships. The wagonmaker devoted what spare time he had in designing a model. First he tried one plan and then another.

Why Your Head Aches You do not endure headache because you want to. It is be-- cause you haven't a satisfactory | remedy. You haven't tried Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They stop pain quickly, leave no bad after- effects, do not derange the stom- ach. That ought to be satisfac- tory—if so, try them. Your drug- gist has them. “Th used Dr. Mil tt ter have Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pi's mafterer from Basset ait : R. uy i Sis, sated, @ money on first 26 doses, 7 and daughter he tinkered along. i “That thing will be the death of you,”’ exclaimed Mrs. Meden one day. *‘Yes, and if he isn’t killed trying to fly in it, he’s liable to lose his mind trying to build it,” said the daughter. Inventor Constructs Model. Meden, however, only laughed and continued to study and work. At last he decided just what was needed and he proceeded to build a model. The model has been finished and is now stored away in the cellar of the Meden home. All that is needed, the inventor says, is the monéy to build the ship according to the model. The model consists of a few pleces of tin ly shows to callers. Meden’s design does away with a gas bag. Its operating parts, he says, are to correspond as nearly as possible to a bird. The method of propulsion by a bird is to be imitated in all essential particulars in Meden’s craft. The wings are to be disposed to the best advantage to the body portion of the ship. They are designed both to elevate and to propel. The ship, according to plans, is ob- long in shape, with a tapering prow hinged to the body portion and oscil- lating in a horizontal plane for purposes of steering. The prow may be deflected by the operator by means of cords secured to the terminal arms of a de- pending post. Wings Work Like Birds. The propulsion of the wings is accom- plished by an electric motor. Meden intends that the wings shall open and shut with the fall and rise of the ship. The wings are to be provided with gate valves to permit air to pass freely through. Meden says the ship will have a carry- ing power of 500 pounds and ought to travel at least forty, to fifty miles an hour. “It is the best ever,’’ he declared to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘and if I can get the money to go ahead with the invention the question of aerial naviga- tion will be a problem no longer.’’ Although of an inventive turn of mind this is Meden’s first attempt to put any of his ideas into effect. He says he has taken a deep interest in airships, reading everything he could obtain on the subject. He has a drawer full of flying machink literature. Since obtaining the patent Meden has had deals on with various patent com- panies, which promised to promote his scheme. “I've fooled away enough money this way and am going to promote the thing myself,’’ he declared. SLEEP WALKER INJURED AS HE BREAKS A WINDOW Belasco Pollack, Waiting for a Car, Has a Curious Adventure. Belasco Pollack. 19 years old, of 3042 Locust street, while waiting for a car at Eighteenth street and Washington avenue, early Tuesday morning, fell as#ep. Then he removed his shoes and walked through the window of the fruit stand at 519 North LEighteenth street, Pollack’s somnambulistic feat explains the presence of pools of blood in the fruit store and on the sidewalk in front which attracted the attention of every- body who passed the corner several hours later. Policeman Connelly found Pollack ly- ing in the store, half dead from the loss of blood. There was a long and deep gash in his right leg. Connelly rushed Pollack to the City Hospital, and arrested a young man who saw the accident, but released him when they found that Pollack really walked in his sleep.

SHERIFF ARRESTED WHEN HE ATTACKS PORTERS WHO TAX HIM 10 CENTS FOR WASHING [linois Officer Must Explain in Court Why He Refused to Pay at Union Station. Michael Bray, Sheriff of Montgomery County, Ill., was not going to allow a couple of porters to tell him any- thing about the law, even if he didn’t have his star. Bray sauntered into the men’s wash- room at Union Station Sunday evening. Being Sheriff, he thought he ought to be able to wash his own Hands and so he resented the efforts of Claude Chap- pel and G. A. Junot to give assistr~ce. He told them to quit pestering him when they busied themselves with soap and towel. “One valet is too many for me,” said Bray, ‘and two valets is too mue too «many entirely. Skiddoo.”’ Left alone, “the law’’ washed his hands in peace and then started to de- part. The attendants told him the charge for using soap and towel was 10 cents. Bray gritted his teeth, showed the pin holes in his vest where he wears his star when at home and sailed into the attendants. The shouts of Junot at- tracted Policeman u'Gara just as Bray was getting a strangle hold on the at- tendant’s neck. Bray cq@nid not understand how he, a Sheriff, was liable to arrest. Never- theless, he was bundled off to Centra} Station. Later he was released on bond, after being told to appear in the Clark Avenue Police Court Tuesday on a charge of disturbing the peace. Junot refused to prosecute and the sheriff was discharged by Judge Tracy.

the * BY EIEIO PROVES VALUE I URE MLK FUND Forty Crowing Youngsters at Prize Show Were Saved by Post-Dispatch. ONE INFANT A “GIANT” Charley Wihl, Once Puny, \Veighs 40 Pounds at Age of 15 Months. a

Forty babiér. some large and some small, bu: all weil nourished and happy, were exhibted Monday afternoon as an object lesson showing what has been accomplished by the Post-Dispatch Free Ice and Pure Milk Fund. They were the feature of the Kingdom Ilouse La- bor day carnival at Bighth and Hickory streets. The life o. nearly every baby in the show was saved by the pure milk distributed through the agency of the fund. P Charley Wihl, the. giant baby, was a center of attraction all afternoon and evening. When he started to drink the pure milk he was puny and anemic and his mamma was worried because he was so thin: Now at the age of 15 months he is 32 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds. Chafley’s unusual bulk ts not soft, flabby fat, either. It is good, solid muscie. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wihl of 619 Chouteau avenue. ‘Mother Praises Pure Milk. “What made him so We?” Mrs. Wihl said with an expression of deep grati- tude. ‘“‘Why it. was the pure milk that we got through the Post-Dispatch fund. He just wouldn’t seem to get along on the ordinary milk from the dairies, but before he. had been taking the pure milk a week we could see him grow and grow.” Two-year-old Helen Stoner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Stoner of 1115 South Tenth street, is another example of the value of pure milk in saving the babies. She has the complexion of a flawless Elberta wpeach, hair of spun gold. Her disposition is angelic, her Mamma ga 3, but she was a real cross baby until three months ago, when she was put on the pure milk diet. Since then she has never been ill a day.

She attracted a host of admirers at the baby show. Lottie Godbar, daughter. of Mrs. Louisa Gobar of 702 Chouteau avenue, is another fine example of the great good which has been worked by the fund.

Christine Remmert, 16, Jaughed Tues- day as if she had not a care in the world, though she tried to kill herself Monday afternoon at her home at 3012 Laclede avenue, ‘just to show her moth- er that she had a will of her own.”* “O, I'm not despondent at all,’’ she said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tues- day, “but mother tried to make me go to the House of Good Shepherd, and I told her nothing on earth would make me go. So when she had the officers come for me yesterday afternoon I took the carbolic acid just to prove I was as obstinate as she. “The world has always been good to me. I have lots of friends and a good time. I just made up my mind I wouldn’t be taken away from them.” When the policemen summoned by the girl's mother entered the house Chris- tine was told for the first time the pur- pose of their visit. Christine went into @ rage at first and then, quieting down, said she would go. She went into her room apparently to dress. First she took some matches and put them into a basin of water. But when she saw that the sulphur was not dis- solving fast enough she ran to a cup board and took out a bottle of carbolic acid. She had the bottle at her li when her mother caught her hand and knocked the bottle away. Christine swallowed but little of the acid and was speedily made well again by her’ moth- er’s promise to let her remain at home. a

Converse Miles Apart. From the Chicago Journal. Among the queerest languages used by human beings are those of Gomeros, in the Canary Islands, and the Cameroons of West Africa. The Gomero converses with people a mile or so distant by whistling, using both fingers ahd lips so expertly as to express all the signals required make the conversation infel- ligible. A Cameroon man uses a drum for the same purpose. Tne instrument is ratner peculiar, its curface being dli- vided into two unequal portions, so that when it is struck it yields two differ- ent notes. With a code not unlike the taps of the telegraph system, the na- tives make this drum express any syl- lable of their language.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—It is sad news for the Johnnies that the Dressmakers’ Association 6f America gave out today, for in solemn conclave it was announced that the sheath skirt is to go to the “ole clo” man right away. . Miss Elizabeth A. C. White, the presi- dent, welcomed 300 purveyors of. fashion from all: parts’ of the land. “Now,” said Miss White in her open- ing address, ‘‘as to the shegth gown.” Every: auditor. waited. spejlbound. “The sheath gown is ‘not the latest style. It was not issued by any of the leading Parisian houses,"’ she firmly de- clared. “An obscure firm.sent it forth, and it was not popular. Practically, it was dead before it was born. While in Paris I made it my business to find out what the big houses thought about it. They said no nice woman would .wear them. Then came modifications, and some of them are very acceptable. “Only one characteristic prevails in all this season's styles, that is the extreme- ly long: sleeves, covering the hand. The short glove is the thing, of course, As to the new corsets—well they are adapt- ed to making the figure resemble a tele- graph pole as nearly as possible. For that purpose they are extremely long and it takes 10 yards of string to lace them properly. A slender woman can wear them. Stout women cannot en- tirely eliminate their curves—they must simply do the best they can.”

Thought From. the New . An. old-fashioned English stonemason is employed in a yard in Upper Hobo~ ken to chisel tombstones. He makes $3.40 a day, as against $2.33 in th old country. He lost his job last week, and there was some protest, to which the manager repijed: “He is a splendid workman, but he is always getting us in.trouble Why, the other day a party ordered a headstone with this inscrip- tion: ‘A Virtuous Woman Is a ‘ ~-wn to Her Husband.’ You see, he wanted something for his departed wife’s grave. What do you suppose our Englishman did? The stone being a little narrow, he contracted tis sentence thus: ‘A Vir- tuous Woman Is 6s to Her Husband.’ As we coyldn’t stand the 6-shilling busi- ness we had to drop him.” e Meant 30 Cents, ork Press.

Mr. Hearst said: My friends: 1 intend to talk politics because we are all thinking politics and talking politics at this time, but I d@> not intend to make a political speech or @ partisan speech. I do not intend to speak in behalf of tho \ Republican party, or in behalf of the ‘Demoeratic party, or in behalf of ndependence party. — IT intend merely to have a friendly talk ong friends upon matters that interest us as American citizens end as Wworkingmen. TI claim to be a worker. I suppose I might have been an idler if I had want- ed to be one, but I have always had a hearty contempt for dudes and drones and a deep, sincere admiration for the’ mer who do the’ useful work of the world, TI have always desired t© be enrolled among the ranks of the workers, and I am truly pleased and truly proud when I am Invited every Labor Day by union men to appear before them and speak on matiers of interest and importance them. 1 have always deen exceeding! friendly to labor unions, d but I wish to / make it quite clear that they have been just as friendiy to me as I have been

they have been to me in my affairs. I regard business as a partnership arrangemént between employer and em- ployes. The business object of this part- nership is the creation of wealth, and moral obligation of this partnership is a just division of wealth. I believe that the equable distribu- tion of wealth which labor unions tend to secure is of benefit not only to work- ingmen, but to the whole community. Why Labor Should Be in Politics. I, therefore indorse labor unions and I believe that laboring men should be active in business to protect and pro- mote their unions and that they should be active in politics to preserve their unions. When I first urged labor unions to go into politics, Mr. Gompers disagreed with me in his Federationist, and de- clared that labor unie»™s ought to keep out of politics. I was surprised, therefore, when one day in Washington I was invited to ap- pear before the officers of the Federa- tion of Labor and give my reasons for urging labor unions to go into politics. I Was more surprised when I saw in the papers the next morning that the officers of the Federation of Labor had decided that labor unions ought to go into politics, and I was most surprised of all when Mr. Gompers came out in the Federationist and said: “Of course labor unions ought to go into politics. Why not?” Now Mr. Gompers agrees with me that labor unions ought to go into litics, but I don’t agree with him on the way ‘iabor usnng —. to go into tics, a asmuc was I was right before, may be he wron w right now. : Mr’ Gompers thinks that the right ; way is for all labor unions to lay their votes in his basket like a lot of good, dutiful potitical hens and for him then to take his basket to market and peddle the contents to the Republica. party or the Democratic party. The Dangers of Gompers’ Pian. The obiections to this plan are many, and they are convineing and cofciu- sive. 1. You cannot afford to repose so muci: power with any man or any set of men. There is a distinct danger that the contents of the basket would be peddled more for the benefit of the own- er of the basket than for the advantage of the honest, trustful layers of the votes. There would be competition for the contents of the basket of a kind that would debauch and destroy your organization without benefitting the humbler member:. 2. You would never be harmonious in your ideas of how the votes should be delivered. You would be divided by differences of opinion; you would : disrupted by dissensions. 3. You would get little or no result from such a system, for the men elected would be primarily Democrats or Re- ublicans. They would be your friends efore election, but would forget al! about you after election. 4. You have,tried out the old parties time and time again and have found them wanting every time and it would be absurd for you to waste your time and your opportunities persisting in a poney that has continually proved a allure, The Question Mr. Bryan Asked. In the Committee of Ways and Means Mr. Bryan asked Mr. Eberhardt the following questions: “I want to ask you whether the fact that workingmen live better and have shorter hours makes their labor any more efficient during the*time they work?’ .. Yes, sir," answered the glassmaker. I believe it is ssible.”’ “In Belgium,” continued Mr. Bryan, “they work on Sundavs as well as other and have no vacations in the summer. Does that teli upon their con- stitutions or render their work less val- uable to their employer?’ : Mr Eberhardt explained about the surplus of workingmen in Belgium and said that the employer did not care 80 hate about poe — vn there were enty more to any gaps. After the committee meeting the fol- lowing incident occurred, which I read rom a sworn affidavit: ; t ny a wie, declare the fo to be true “| was

During the discussion that followed, Mr. Willicm Jennings Bryan. who was na member of the Ways and Means Committee, im talking to Mr. James A.

In substance I said that my- self and others were sent to Washing- ton in 1898 for the purpose of mak- ing a statement before the Ways and Means Committee im reference to the tariff on window giass. “Some of our men had a conversa- tion with Mr. Bryan after the full committee had adjourned. I was not present at the time they were talk- ing tariff, but I was present and did hear Mr. Bryan say: ‘You are public beggars.’ “The anawer was made: ‘We do not look upon it a, begging to ask for protection against the importation of foreign product.’ q “He then said: “ ‘Nevertheless, you are public beg- gars,’ ° “He left us with this. “Yours truly, “CHARLES BRYANT.’ So much for the window glass work- ers’ inciuent.

Haskell, Labor Foe, Exposed. Everybody knows that Mr. Bryan made Mr. Haskell chairman of the Committee of Resolutions and Plat- form. Everybody does not know, however, that Mr. Haskell is a member of a pet- ty secret citizens’ alliance, whose one object is to crush labor unions and re- duce wages. . When everybody does know this they will understand why the Democratic platform, which Mr. Haskell supervised, contains a labor plank meart... ti le- fraud laboring men and deceive a citizens generally. , will make no argument on this point either, but I will simply rest our case, the labor case, on this resolution introduced by.

I cra In 1992 you workingmen had become Giagusted with the insincerity and in- difference of the Republican party, and you turned your votes to tic party b the » and by so doing you, more would not want to be President of that kind of people, and I de not think that any man who calls the manufacturers States robbers and the than other force in the United States, placed that party in power. When the Democrats Were in Power. In 1894, only two years later, the Dem- ocratic administration sent Federal) troops into the sovereign State of Illi- nois against the protest of its Governor to terrorize and subdue workingmen battling for their rights. Then you turned in indignation from the faise and treacherous Democratic party, but you did not start a new party. You put the old, discredited Republican party back into. power. The Republican party has ‘| been just as insincere and indifferent as it was before and, of course, you are just as disgusted and discouraged us you were before. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to put back into power tlie old, talse and treacherous Democratic party to deride you and betray you once more, or are you going to try to get a square deal through a new deal? I had had a manager who had made 2 failure of my Chicago newspaper and I had put in a secoud manager, who had also made a failure of it. What would you think of me if I had then put back the first manager and let him makea failure again, and if I now purposed to put back the sec- ond manager and let him make asiil] an- other failure? You would say that 1 ought’ to get a new manager or else conduct the business myself, and I suy to you that you ought to support a new party or start a new party yourselves. If anyone tells you that the Demo- cratic party is a new party, with a new attitude toward workingmen, I stand ready to prove, that it is the same ‘old Democratic pariy with the same old de- ceitful attitude toward workingmen. When, years ago, working men were in Washington arguing for what they honestly beltleved to be for the best interests of themselves and their familfes and their fellow- citizens generally, and Mr. Bryan called them “public beggars,” he did not show a spirit in sympathy with American labor, or in harmony with American ideas. And when Mr. Bryan the other cay appointed as treasurer of the Demo- cratic campaign fund this man Haskell, a member of a secret citizens’ alliance, hostile to labor in a mean and cow- ardly way, he did not show in that either a spirit in sympathy with Amer* ican labor nor in accordance with, Amer- lean fair play. My friends, if I were more of a poli- ticilan, I would stand here a de- claim that endeavor to influence your minds these and other per- ed ly which have su and

ADVERTISEMENT. facts. I will read a plain presentation of them from the records and from affidavits. On Sept. 18, 1898, the manufacturers of window glass and the window glass workers appeared before the Commiltee on Ways and Means of the Democratic Congress of that year. They came to protest against a heavy cut in the tariff on window glass. Mr. Bryan was a member of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. John P. Eberhardt, president of }the Window Glass Workers’ Association of the United States, presented the case of the window glass workers before the committee. Mr. Eberhardt said: “We want better wages than they get abroad; we are not satisfied to have our wives and sisters wheel coal and sand in factories; we desire to have our chil- dren attend school instead of workin before they have even the elements o an education, as is the case of our com» petitors in the American market who work abroad. We are not satisfied to live in houses with only bare cobbie- stone or flagged floors, as many of them have to do. “To talk of American workmen work- ing and living as they do in foreign countries is un-American. Can we 4. to maintain a free government for the people, stand by the people, if we de- stroy the epirit of individual freedom and independence in that period.” In case Mr. Haskell should claim that he did not introduce any such resolu- tion, here isa photographic facsimile of it; and in case he should say there was no such secret Citizens’ Alllanee, here are the minutes of its meeting. We learn from these minutes that the members of this Alliance agreed on their honor “te keep secret forever” all that may be said or. done by the Alliance. and the identity of its mem- bers, We learn too, that Mr. Haskell was ar officer of the Allfance;: that he was chosen temporary chairman of the: first meeting and called the sec- ond meeting to order.

VETERAN DIES WHILE WAITING TO ENTER CONFEDERATE HOME Friend Says Unavoidable Delay in Approving Application Broke Soldier’s Heart. Abe Lea, a Confederate soldier served as a member of Gen. Hardee's bodyguard, died at the City Hospital last week and was buried Friday. On that day a letter was addressed to him from Supt. Pace of the Confederate Sol- diers’ Home of Missouri, at Higginsville, notifying him that the oBard of Man- agers had approved his application for admission to the home. ‘He died of a broken heart,” said Hunt P. Wilson, a sergeant in Guibor’s Missouri Battery, C. S. A., during the Civil War, “‘because of unfortunate de- lay in admitting him to the Soldiers’ Home. He had been in il] health for some time, and was penniless. TI had sheltered him and given him odd jobs in my painting business and had writ- ten to Supt. Pace, asking that he be admitted to the home, where he was hoping to end his days. “By some unlucky chance, the first letter miscarried and was returned to me from the Dead Letter Office a month later. I wrote again, but, meantime,

who City Hospital. The letter notifying him that he could enter the home was dated Sept. 4. On that day he was buried by Painters’ Local Union, No. 115, in Bet%- ania Cemetery, and myself and Jack McHugh, a young Southerner, were the only friends attending the funeral.’’

CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—Preliminary to the invasion of the East by William J. Bry- an, members of the Democratic Nation- al Committee held a counsel of war to- day and for several hours studied over the plans that have been devised to bring the Democratic cause to victory. While the national committeemen were in session there were conferences of the Advisory .and Finance committees and later all three committees joined in a general conference in which Mr. Bryan took a leading part in the deliberations. It is generally believed by the commit- teemen that the effort to have Mr. Bry- an take the stump during the entire month of October will prove successful. With the announcement that Mr. Taft» will make a speaking trip through the Middle West and East, the Democratic day and that to that end Mr. Bryan should continue his speaking trips un- til the campaign ends. Mr. Bryan tonight will address a gen- eral conference of 1200 precinct commit- teermen of Chicago.

WANT ADS LIKE THOSE POST-DISPATCH BEST AGENCY IN BUILDING UP THE NAVY Recruiting Officers Succeed With Small Advertisements After Display Fails.

MEN Wtd.—Able-bodied men between ages 19 and 35, for United States Marine Corps; excellent opportunity to see the world. Little want ads like this one, pub- lished in the Post-Dispatch, have been found by Uncle Sam to be the most effective agency in bringing young men into the army and navy. Careful experimenting has shown the recruiting officers that all other forms of publicity are inferior to the want ad when it comes to increasing the country’s fighting force. he Bureau of Navigation first tried the billboards. It spent large sums for attractive posters, but they didn't do the work. Young men of fighting age would study the posters, then turn away and say:

The increase of the regular army to 100,000 men, which, it is said, President Roosevelt will urge in his next message to Congress, will be in strict pursuance of the mad policy of imperial- ism, extravagance and militarism upon which the Government embarked amid the excitement of the Spanish War in 1898. Mr. Bryan has called attention to the ‘meager results obtained by the Roosevelt administra- tion in the field of domestic legislation, and espe- cially in the ‘enforcement of the anti-monopoly jaws. There has been much cry but little wool. We have had promises in abundanc:2, threats f@gainst “malefactor~ of great wealth,” and fran- tic invective against all manner of suspected and Hotorious wrongdoers. But a few futile prosecu- tions make up the record of real achievement. Practically nothing has been done to relieve the @conomic burden which weighs so heavily upon the industry of the country. In the war against Wrong in high places the Government is baf- fled. And if we except the railroad rate regula- tion law, the worth of which is yet .o be proved, and the meat inspection law, which was enact- ed in response to an’ imperative and practically wnanimous public demand, domestic legislation bas not been progressive or popular. It is quite otherwise with Mr. Roosevelt’s im- perial policy. That has suffered no check or hindrance, and the proposed army increase is but the preliminary to yet more demands along the lines of extravagance and waste.. ' In 1897, the year before the Spanish War, the total expenses of the army and navy departments Were $85,511,813. In 1904 the expenditures had mounted to $239,725,382, or nearly three times the Amount seven ;ears before; in 1907 the bill fell to $199,278,476, army expenses being $101,671,881, Or more than twice the amount expended in 1897, and naval expenses $97,606,595, being nearly three} times the expenditure for that purpose in 1897. - In 1897 the army numbered 25,000 men. It been increased to 60,000, with privilege to expand to 100,000 in emergency. If this latest proposal is adopted the emergency limit will be raised. There is no end to such a policy of ex- pansion short of national bankruptcy. _ The army is scattered over our “dominions.” A few regiments in Manila and the Philippines, some in Hawaii, some in Cuba—everywhere con- tracting the habits of militarism and unlearning the rights and duties of citizenship. An army employed to overawe the Filipinos and other subject peoples is a fit instrument for employment at home for the same purpose. A large standing army corrupts the sense of citizenship, is an ever-growing economic -burden, and a menace to free institutions and self-gov- ernment which every self-governing people has Jearned to fear and hate. . Militarism is the great and only unmixed suc- . of the Roosevelt administration. It is the ical outcome of a” expanding policy. of im- rialism which in turn is the convenient excuse r oppressive extravagance of Government ex- nses designed to breed profit in the pockets f monopolists whose chief asset is the favor of fovernment. It is against this policy that pub- c opinion should be arottsed by Mr. Bryan as geader and candidate of the Democratic party. The inatility, immorality and economic vices of imperialism are all reflected into this latest heme of militarism which should not be suf- fered to pass without an ere — hi hi today—the public school industry—and it makes for higher living, larger liberty and keener hap- gees = = * — —, e ROOTING FOR THE HOME TEAM. The town is in the throes of a tempestuous passion of rooting for the Browns. Terrific psychic and emotional waves are sweeping the population, tossing it, rocking it back and forth Mith every favorable or adverse bulletin. | The baseball excitement seems to possess even curative quality, Under the powerful stimulus and thrill of victory for the home team a cripple at Sportsman’s Park the other day Ahrew away his crutch and caue and leaped madly about and ced for joy on two legs that had suddenly me straight and strong. | Just as the dynamic force and vicina’ of de- light proved . efficacious for the afflicted. man, fet us hope that ft will cause the ‘Peawakeried t.

If the natural gas franchise bill now in the hands of the Public Improvement Committee of the House of Delegates is not promptly sinned the city will lose the opportunity for compett- | tive bids on public lighting, the contract for which expires within two years. That much time is required to prepare for competition and for the carrying out of the terms of new con- tracts. If the bill is not passed in time to en- able the new company to bid, the city will be at the mercy of the Laclede Gas Light Co., which holds a monopoly of gas service. But the bill is more than an opportunity for the city to reduce the cost of public lighting; it offers cheap gas to the public for illuminating and fuel purposes. The bill limits the price of natural gas to 35 cents and of manufactured gas to 60 cents. If the supply of natural gas should prove insufficient, or for any reason the new company should prefer to sell manufactured gas, the price of gas in this city will be reduced 40 per cent'from the present moropoly price. The bill ngw in the hands of the House of Delegates was passed by the Council. While before the’ Gouncil: it was carefully considered and was amended by the insertion of clauses protecting the city from imposition and monopoly ecncolidation. It was approved by the City Counselor and the Supervisor of Lighting. It seems to be a good bill. If it is lacking in any point it can be amended. The advantage to the city of cheap fuel and illuminating gas cannot be over estimated. Gas at 35 cents would mean not only an immense saving to the people of the city, but it would attract manufacturers and would give a tremen- dous stimulus to industry and trade. The mil- lion mark of population would be an easy mark. But all of these_advantages depending upon the passage of the bill count for nothing with the House Public Improvements Committee. The members of the committee, the men who stand in the way of the city’s obtaining these great benefits, are the following delegates: . J. Brennan, James J. Gallagher, Frank Simmons, Mathew Tobin, Frank Weeke, Joseph Schett and Charles (Cap) Tretl. Although six members of the committee, in- cluding Chairman Brennan, publicly declare that they favor the bill it has never been eonsidered. No meeting for that purpose has been called. From one source alone is there opposition to the bill—the Laclede Gas Light Co., which enjoys a monopoly of gas service in St, Louis. This corporation naturally opposes a measure which offers cheap gas for the people of the city. It is fighting for its monopoly power to squeeze the city. | With all the people demanding cheap gas and one monopoly corporation opposing it, the House of Delegates refuses to consider a bill providing for cheap gas. The inter- ests of the gas monopoly outweigh the in- tercsts of the people of St. Louwta. i A s — a The natural results of a far-flung defense line are a bigger army and a bigger navy; and the certain results of a big army and a big navy are oppression at home and abroad. Mr. Roosevelt is demonstrating the circle of imperialigm and militarism. 0 MR. BRYAN’S BOILS. Mr. Bryan has developed a boil on his neck. There is no surer or quicker way for a presi- dential candidate or anybody else to gain the un- reserved sympathy of the whole American people than to let it be known that he has a boil on the neck, Republicans, Demo¢rats and the inde- /pendent vote besides feelingly respond. At some time or other in his life nearly every voter has had a boil, and no voter has ever forgotten it. Without desiring to play the part of Job's comforter to this fellow-sufferer of Job's, we: assure him that boils augur well. Boils usually indicate that a man is getting something delete- rious out of hic system. Mr. Bryan’s systcm is vastly and rapidly improving of late; he is better constitutionally and fundamentally. The nation is bound to notice the tokens. With much out of his system that was objectionable in 1896 and 1900, we wish him the very best of health, politically and in all other respects, in 1908. A. & ~~ oe In Morocco, where they are undergoing a change of administrations, they had to run the old incumbent off the throne at the point of bay- onets. We are not put to such extremities in this country, sithough some of our rulers are quite reluctant to &tep out. . eos SOCIAL EXTREMES. The summaries of some recent American nov- els published {n the Sunday Post-Dispatch of Sept. 5 present a most disagreeable picture of American society, and especially of the women who give themselves to dissipation and sensual delights. While these descriptions do not represent the healthy basic life of American society, it cannor be denied that théy have truth in them. There are extremes in all societies and these women are the extreme type produced by . materialistic conditions which have no flavor of thought, morality or honest aspiration. When wealth is the be-all of a social group}. and that - group posing as the source of: fashion and social superiority and accepted as such, it is not stramge that weak-minded, weak-willed men and women make sacrifices to get into it If they sacrifice what is best and purest, it is because they are blinded by the glitter and’ power of mere wealth and have lost all sense of the true worth of tife. The originals of these women can probably be found in large American cities. . And it is worth of Aindican womanhood, which they are not, but .as symptoms of a social! malady . which has attacked American society, but is yet restricted {to a limited circle, the members of which are, }@xposed to the special temptations of their con- dition. If there ig any moral in such stories of im- morality it is to avoid extremes. Only in tue golden mediocrity of material condition is founo assurance of health, sanity und robust purity. Agur’s prayer, “Give me neither riches nor pov~- erty,” is, for the vast majority of mankind, if not for all, the rule for real happiness and suc- cess. == = ——— ii i A Recently the public was at a great loss to know what to do with old Chris Von der Ahe.

The lust three weéks has énabled me to unravel the mystery of why there are less marriages, ¢S- pecially among the class on a $60 to $8 per month salary. A man on that salary cannot afford to pay over $40 or $4 per month board or for living ex- penses. What kind of a room, among what class of peuple and what kind of board can one get for that amount? who can’t pay at least $50 board. Though our Sal- aries are small we are refined. educated, nice peo- ple and cannot be happy unless with the same Class of people. We-sare sickened boarding and resolved to take a flat and try housekeeping, but after exhaust- ing ourselves walking, hunting a desirable flat, we are row at our wits ends, wondering what to do. and usc of laundry, if possible, or we would take two or three furnished rooms for housekeeping. We wish a nice locality in West End, or South Side, near Grand, not over 20 or 30 minutes’ ride downtown. We would be desirable tenants, taking care of every- thing. paying promptly and permanent. A man on a salary (small) cannot pay over $18 rent and shoulda not pay over $16, as the heat, light, cooking gas and the small incidentals amount up quickly. We are. only one of many looking for such flats; but, where are the flats? Now does any one wonder that a sin- gle man will not assume responsibility or that a ing? + OR Do the People Rule? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We hear-a great deal at the present time about the above question, many taking opposite views, The recent advertising for bids for the new Sumner High School, to be located on Cottage avenue, emphasizes the fact, that they do not. Ninety per cent of people living in the Northwestern part-of the city have pro- tested against the location of the Negro High School in their midst, well knowing that property will de- preciate in value, ruining hundreds of hard-working people, who have partly paid for their little homes, that it will be the means of bringing hundreds of negroes to that part of the city. Yet in spite of this the School Board has stubbornly gone ahead and located this school out there, where it will be in- convenient to three-fourths of the negroes of the city. THE PEOPLE DO NOT RULE. Guaranteed Banks. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The sum of objections against the guaranteed bank- ing plan by Messrs. Huttig, Jones, Wade and other big national bankers, when simmered down seems {o be that these gentlemen think that this plan of bank- ing is so good that it is likely to succeed all other systems if not killed at once. This is the logic of their frantle argument against it. This plan of banking has been found to work so well in Oklahoma the only State, I believe, where it is in effect and practice, that national bankers are giving up their charters in that State and going into the banking business under this plan. Even depositors in national banks in Kansas are withdrawing their money and sending it across the line into Oklahoma for the safe- ty that this guarantee plan affords them. Then this guaranteed banking business is not such a new and untried thing even to Messrs.. Huttig, Wade and Jones. A recent notable instance of the. kind was when these gentlemen guaranteed the depositors of the Missouri-Lincoln Trust Co. by taking over its ac- counts when that concern was in a failing condition, This they did without law, yet they cbject to the same thing being done by law. J. J. JONES. Women May Vote in Tlinois. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Any woman resident of Illinois above the age of 21 years, who has residea in the State one year, in the county 90 days, and in the election district 30 days is entitled to vote for University Trustees. Foreign- |'born women must be naturalized. Women must regis- ter the same as men. Women may accompany the male members of their families when they go to reg- ister—don’t forget {t—6r wilien election day comes, no matter how much you may want tec vote you will not be allowed to. Remember, if you do: not take advan- tage of this opportunity of casting your ballot you will never be allowed the greater one of voting for President. AN ILLINOIS WOMAN. Election Officials. To the Haditor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. James L. Carlisle is reported to have said: “I am going..to change the personnel of the corps of election officials, and, if possible, I intend to obtain the services of representative men.”’ this statement, why it is that the published list of election officials, with but very few exceptions, do not contain the namés of any member of the St. Louis Club, the Noonday Club, the Commercial] Club, the Business Men’s League, or the Merchants Ex- are asked to investigate the Character of the judges and clerks, and that those recommended by the Democratic .central committeemen from the river wards were not accepted by the Board, It is un- fortunate that some of the recommendations of Dem- ocratic and Republican central committeemen§ in other wards were not turned dOwn also. There ig no reason to question the sincerity of Gov. Folk’s effort to assist Mr. Sager, and to assure an honest election in November. Gov. Folk did exactly right in ordering Chief of Police Creecy to have the de- partment make a house to house canvass in each ward. But the captains in the different districts have to be on the alert, and exert every precaution in guarding their mén against the nefarious influ- ences of the election crooks. WILLIAM F.

Crichfield, in the September Every- body’s, “and he was a specialist in his occupation. His business consisted in getting up revolutions in some section on the border Hne between Venezuela and Columbia, and then. running other people’s cattle from that section into the adjoining country, where he would sell them, — “Having succeeded mightily in these dealings, the redoubtable Castro be- came_ambitious to conquer new worlds. ‘“‘ ‘ne crossed the San Antonia as Caesar the~Rubicon,’ loyal follower writes of him, ‘and from peak to peak ‘and from .comibat to combat, opened with the edge of his sword the doors of Caracas, the grard stairway of the federal capi- tol, surrounded by a group of heroes.’ “As a matter of fact, his ‘heroes’ weré a body of bushwhackers, blacklegs, and renegades, including a large ‘number of females who had marched from Tachira to Caracas with the ‘army.’ “Andrade, the constitutional presi- dent, was a gentleman. Therefore the constitutional army looked upon him with disdain and rushed to the ‘army’ of Castro. A few battles and quite a number of skirmishes were fought, the peaceful inhabitants were looted, ‘forc- ed loans’ were levied upon foreigners and business men who had funds, and after anarchy had ruled for a_ time throughout Venezuela, President An- drade found himself deserted by his army, and was glad to make good his escape to La Guava, and thence ase Here is the other side of it, by. Colvin B. Brown: “Cipriano Castro is the first moun- taineer president the Vefiezuelans hav: ever had, and it is hatural that he would be misunderstood at Caracas.

It yielded; he lighted a match and gazed at the sleeping boy where he lay very peacefully among his pillows. Then, without a sound, he reclosed the door and withdrew to his apartment. As he lighted his pipe there came a hesitating knock at the door; he jerked his head sharply; the knock was re- peated.

However, he goes out- side the residence district to find it. She flushed scarlet at his brutality, he drew up a chair, seated himself very deliberately, and spoke, his unlighted Pipe in his left hand: “The girl I left—the girl who left me— was a modest, clean-thinking, clean- minded girl, who also had a brain te use, and emp’oyed it. Whatever con- clusion that girl arrived at concerning the importance of murriage vows !s no longer my business; but the moment she confronts me again, offering friendshin, then I may use a friend's privilege, as I do. And so I tell you that loosely fash- lonable badinage bores me. And another matter—privileged by the’ friendship you ackncwledge—forces me te ask yo a nuestion, and ask it, point blank: Why have you again permitted Gerald to play cards for stakes at your house, after promising vou would not do so?” The color receded from her face a-4 her gloved fingers tightened on the arms of her chair. “That is one reason I came,”’ she sald: “to explain’’—— “You could have written.” “IT say it was one reason; the other I bave already given you—hecause I—I felt that you were friendly.” “T am. Go on.” “I don’t know whether you are friend- ly to me! I thought von were—that night. I did not sleep a wink after *. because I was quite happy. But now—I don’t know’’——, “Whether I am still friendly? Well, Iam. So please explain about Gera'd.” “Are you sure?” raising her dark eves, “That you mean to be kind?” “Yes, sure,” he said, harshiy. “Go on. “You are a little rough with ~o: a-al- most insolent’’—— “I—I have to be. Good God! Alixe do you think this is nothing to me?—this wretched mess we have made of life! Do you think my roughness and abrupt- ness comes from anything but pity?— pity for us both, I tell you. Do you think I can remain unmoved looking on the atrocious punishment you have in- flicted on yourself?—tethered to-—to that! --for life!—the poison of the contact showing in your altered voice and man- ner!—in the things you laugh at, in the things you live for—in the twisted, mia- shapen ideals that your friends set up on a heap of nuggets for you to wor- ship? Even if we've passed thruugh the sea of mire, can’t we at least clear the filth from our eyes and sée straight and steer straight to the anchorage?” She had covered her pallid face with her muff; he bent forward, his hand o® the arm of her chair. ‘“‘Allxe, was there nothing to‘you, after all? Was it only a tinted ghost that was blown into my bunga’ow that night —only a twist of shredded marsh mist without substance, without being, with- out soul?—to be blown away into the shadows with the next and stronger wind—and again to drift out across the waste places of the world? I thought I knew a sweet, impulsive comrade of flesh and blood; warm, quick, generous, intelligent—and very, very young—too young and spirited, perhaps, to endure the harness which coupled her with a man who failed her—and failed himself “That she has made another—and per- haps more heart-breaking mistake, is bitter for me, too—because—because—I have not yet forgotten.

Then she rose, blindly covering her face with her hands, and he stumbled to his feet, shrinking back from her— because dead fires were flickering again, and the ashes of dead roses stirred above the scented embers— and the magic of all the East was de- scending like a veil upon them, and the Phantom of the Past drew nearer, smiling, wide-armed, crowned with living blossoms. The tide rose, swaying her where she stood; her hands fell from her face. Between them the grave they had dug seemed almost filled with flowers now—was filling fast. And across it they looked at one anothe: as though stunned. Then his face paled and he stepped back, staring at her from stern eyes. “Phil,” she faltered, bewildered by the mirage, “is it only a bad dream after all?’ And as the false magic glowed into blinding splendor to en- gulf them: “Oh, boy! boy!—is it hell or heaven where we've fallen?” There came a loud rapping at the door.

There are summer resorts, remote from any agricultural communities, where fresh farm products are even harder to obtain than in the city. It was at such a place that the new board- er, who had eaten four or five break- fasts there, began to wonder why the eges were invariably served fried. “See here,” he inquired one morning of the genial colored man who waited upon him, “why do you always fry eggs here?

TALL, bony, hideously homely A young man of 2 and a short, fat, painted and powdered woman of 46 were riding from Birmingham to Derby, England, one day in 1735, to be married. The woman first complained that her -escort rode too fast. Then, when he checked his horse’s speed, she rode ahead, calling back to him that he was riding too slowly. “T am not to be made the slave of your caprices!’” roared the bridegroom wrathfully. He set spurs to his horse and galloped out of sight around a turn in the highway. The woman, weeping, caught up with him at last, only to re- ceive a sound scolding and a warning that her future husband was not one of those story-book swains whose love thrives on ill treatment. After which the sobbing bride and scowling bride- groom rode on, side by side, to the chure.: in Derby, where their wedding was to occur. ij 44 It was an odd beginning to married life and promised scant happiness for either of the two. Yet their wedded years were more than ordinarily bright. The man was Samuel Johnson, the ec- centric son of a bookseller, and destined to become the most famous personage of his day. The woman was Mrs. Eliza- beth Porter, a plain, unprepossessing No. 26 in the Series of History's Great Love Stories Retold for the Post-Dispatch BY ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE. widow, with children as old as her young husband. Indeed, Johnson is said to have been in love, earlier, with one of her daughters. In courting Mrs. Porter, Johnson had told her frankly that he was penniless and that one of his uncles had been hanged. She replied quite as frankly that she was no richer than he and added that, while none of her uncles had been hanged, several of them ought to have been. Johnson was wretchedly poor. His ex- perience with poverty and with the in- gratitude and ridicule of his fellow men embittered him and made him cynical He failed in venture after venture and began to look on mankind as his ene- mies. But, throughout, he worshipped his elderly wife. He was blind to her ugliness, her bad temper and the fact that she was 2 years older than he. To him she was always beautiful. The paint that she plastered half an inch thick on her cheeks he regarded as the soft blush of youth. When she was over fifty he wrote her a letter beginning ‘‘My dear girl,’’ and in the same epistle called her “‘My charming love!’’ The couple went to London. There. for years, they nearly starved. Jehn- son bent his mighty intellect to menial

literary tasks to keep them alive. Lit- tle by little he won famu as a writer. England rang with praises of his essays and books. Yet the crticism he prized above all and the praise that most de- lighted him was his wife’s. Two per- sons with such tempers could not live without disputes. Someone once asked Johnson if he and his wife ever quar- reled. Johnson sized up their marital situation by answering the query in on word: “Perpetually!”’ He grew enormously fat. His face was twisted and scarred by scrofula. His linen was dirty and his clothes un- kempt. Yet, to the last, his wife was bitterly jealous lest his supposed charm of looks and manner might lure some designing woman to fall in love with him and win his heart. The sight of these tavo ridiculous people, each be- lieving the other a miracle of grace and beauty, convulsed literary London with laughter. Yet perhaps there was an in- finitely pathetic, no unpoetic, side to it all. Sincere, lasting love, on whatever Object it be lavished, must ever com- mand .a certain respect. When she was 6&4 Mrs. Johnson fell ill. The physicians said she could not recover. Johnson was forced to con- tinue his writing day and night in order to pay for doctors and sick bed lux- uries. He could only snatch stray mo- ments from his work to be with his dying wife. People were amazed to see so great a man doing menial labor in order to earn a few shillings for a fool- ish old woman, who was only a clog to his brilliant career. Yet all the love of

The Love Story of Samuel Johnson and Mrs. Porter Johnson’s long, strange life was cen- tered in her. They had no _ children. There was no one to share with her the adoration of the eccentric genius’ in- tense nature. When Mrs. Johnson died her husband was inconsolable. Soon money and hon- ors began to crown his work. But they meant little to him when she could no longer share them. His friends learned to hide their smiles when, in speaking of the poor, homely old woman who was dead, Johnson used to sigh and exclaim: “The pretty, pretty creature!’’ The dictionary (for which, of all his work, Johnson is best known) was to have been a source of immense profit and fame to them both. Mrs. Johnson died before it was completed. The an- niversary of her death Johnson always set apart as a day of fasting and prayer. Though his renown as a writer led many women in after years to make violent love to him, he remained ever true to the memory of the wife for whom he had sacrificed his best years.

| SUNNY. wk 9 HE most beautiful queen on any throne,’ she has long been called.”” Kellogg Durland thus begins his marvelous life story of the Tsarita of Russia in the Woman’s Home Companion. “She is tall and stately; her hair is luxuriant and rich in color. Eyes that some call blue and some call gray look out through long, dark lashes, and in them lies a great sadness, an appealing wistfulness touched with re- gret, a silent melancholy. Yet, as a child she was known as ‘Sunny.’ “The life story of ‘Sunny’ ha never been told in English. This ts curious, because there probably is not a person in the world who would not like to hear the wonderful romance of how a poor little German princess became a great sovereign, the co-ruler of one of the vastest empires on earth, the mistress of a fabulously rich and bewilderingly extravagant court, and perhaps the most powerful woman in Europe. ‘Sunny’ was the childhood nickname of this poor little princess, and after a quiet girl- hood, where there was a constant strug- gle to maintain appearances, she was courted by a wayward gallant who was heir to a mighty crown. ‘Sunny’ lost her heart to the royal wooer, and he, putting aside the less noble loves of his reckless, youthful days, pledged himself to her—persistently courted her against wide opposition—turned a deaf ear to the councils of emperors and queens who tried to discourage the inatch, and after years of battling with diplomatic in- trigue and personal! restraint he carried his purpose, married the German Prin- ces, who was truly the bride of his heart, and raised her from the obscurity and poverty of her own home to the rank of Empress. This is the story of Princess Alix of Hesse whom Nicholas II made Tsarita of Russia.’’ © Be Avoided, T HE Artist: You have a perfect head.

~ DEFEATS COME IN BUNCH OF FOUR FOR ST. LOUIS TEAMS ON LABOR DAY TUESDAY-—S?. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—SEPTEMBER RING - CARNIVAL ON THE COAS T REACHES CLIMAX WITH | THE GANS-NELSON FIGHT BASEBALL DISCOURAGED? ‘NO! BROWNS FIGHTING MAD Twice Defeated Band Takes Boat for Cleveland Declaring for Vengeance, a By JAMES CRUSINBERRY UTPLAYED but not outgamed, the St. Lon by the fangs of the Terrible Tigers at Detroit yesterday, They fought desperately in the morning and were barely nosed out of a victory by a count of 4 to 3. In the afternoon the Tigers swamped them unmercifully in one inning, batting Harry Howell out of the box and landing heavily on Graham, ‘CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 8. who followed him. The score of the afternoon fracas was 9 to 3. It must be admitted that the double defeat put a terrible crimp in the pen- ant hopes of the Browns. They came up to the City of Straits with a chance to go into first place by winning Sa games. They steamed down the oit River for Cleveland last night three and one-half games to the bad. But for gameness, the Browns will oufclass them all. It was actually sur- prisin the fighting spirit they pos- se after those two lickings. One might expect them to have tramped out of town with drooping heads and hope- less hearts, but they left Detroit more determined than ever to make good in the remaining month of baseball. They landed in Cleveland with a de- termination to make up for their losses and declare they will cilmb back*in the rumning by beating the Naps, while the Tigers and White Sox are clawing at each other. If anything can win the enant for the Browns, it will be this ulldog spirit. Have Plenty of Spirit. They haven't the hitters, the base run- ners or the pitchers to turn the trick, but they have a determination and spirit of gameness that is admirable and may preve their means to victory yet. Phe players were actually eager to get at the Naps today. They were thoroughly stirred and during the next five days while they are in this city, they hope to reap vengeunce on Cleve- land for the things Detroit did. It's a critical stage of the race and a slump would inc2ed be costly. If they climb back by taking a majority of the games from joie’s sluggers, and . Detroit should happen to be tumbled over by those scrappy White Sox, the Browns will return home next Sunday, for an- other series with Detroit with a splen- did chance of pulling themselves back to the top. Detroit Plays Great Games. But to Detroit must be handed the honor for yesterday’s games. The Ti- gers played great ball. They were kept fighting to the very limit all the time, but they had what little bit of luck was in the game all on their.side. They were able to hit in the pinches. They had the good breaks of the game, just when they needed them, ‘and in the morning pulled a game out of the fire in the ef&hth inning just as the Browns were about to pack up their bats and mark down the victory to themselves. Big Jack Powell did the pitching and e Browns did some lively and sur- ing offensive work right at the St that gave Big John a nice ad- age. wiaced the game safely until the th inning, when it seemed he let ust a bit. He passed one man 1 he hit another in that frame. These takes were mixed with a lucky sin- y one clean single and 4 terrific dou- > that settled things for the Tigers. George Winter, a veteran castoff of 1e Boston club, did the pitching for etroit. He was as active as a mink nd his tricks and excellent fielding of his position were direct cause for his victory. Howell Good at Start. In the afternoon Harry Howell went for four innings with all the speed and cunning that he used in Saturday’s game, wuen he beat the Tigers in 10 innings. It seemed he would get them ain, though he had had but one « of rest and forced to travel all night on the train to . et here. Porsibly that was the case of his beating. After four in- nings he may have weakened a bit on his grip of the ball and the “spitter,”’ under those conditions, will always re- fuse to break. He got in a hole at the start of the inning and had the bases full with but one out. A couple ef singles in suc- “ cession followed this mess, and Harry was waved out of the game. Young Bill Graham took his place, and it was a desperate place to pit a voungster. He went in with the bases full and the mighty Sam Crawford at bat, with bat ene man eut.; Bill may nave nerve enough to fight a den of lions, but it takes more than nerve to sinughter them. Sam Crawford hit the first ball Bill threw in a line to right ti eld. Tt emacked ike a gun and went like a eannon ball far out over Hartzell’s head, striking In the crowd. If there nad been no crowd or no fence there just plain hard dirt, it is doubtful if that ball would have stopped going by sundown. Of course, the ground rules held the mighty wallop to a Couble and allowed but two runs to score. Another Double Follows. But there were still more things for “Graham to experience before the side was out. Ty Cobb was the next man to bat. He drove flercely to right cen- ier for another double and two more runs came home. The next two men went out on ground balls and prevent- ed further slaughter. : After the Tigers tallied those seven runs they played a bit listlessly.

CARDINALS PUT PIRATES UP TWO Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Sept. 8—The Cardinals yesterday served us a stepping stone for the Pirates. Fred Clarke’s men need- ed two games very badly. In fact they needed three victories to please the Pi- rate leader best; but as not even the Cardinals are equal to three games a day, the Pittsburgers had to be content- ed with a two-time victory, which brought the team within haif a game of first place, at present heid by New York. In the first game it was “‘Bugs” Ray- mond who was handed the lemon, he losing to Leever and Brandon of the rival team, score 9 to 7. In the sec- ond game Pittsburg, with Willis in the box, simply romped home, score 7 to 1. “Bugs” Raymond seems to: have soured on life, and to not be doing his best when occasion demands. For sev- eral weeks his general effectiveness has been below par, and the splendid form in which he worked early in the season has been lost. The Cardinals will feel any deterioration in this pitch- er, unlucky as Raymond’s year has been. Raymond was the player who laid the foundation for his hard-luck reputation at the start of the season, when he pitched virtually a no-hit game and still ost the contest.

COSTS ATTELL GHT VERDICT ad Abe Content to Box Twenty- Three Rounds With Light- Hitting Moran. -———_—_— Specia] to the Post-Dispatch. : SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8—When Owen Moran and Abe Attell has com- pleted their 23 rounds of fighting at the Mission street arena and Referee Jack Walsh raised the hands of both featherweights as a token of a draw, he gave the only decision he could have rendered. Attell had the class and scored the most effective punches, but he let Mo- ran do most of the leading, conrenting himself for the most part with count- ering. Neither party was distressed at the end, although Moran showed the marks of Attell’s gloves where the American had jabbed and cut him about the face. He was still strong and rugged, how- ever. It was largely the fault of Attell, though, he did not win the verdict. He was by far too cautious, not willing to take chances, when he saw that he could land. There were but few times during the fight that he let himself loose. His sack of aggressiveness and his willingness to let Moran do the leading is what threw away the ver- dict and the long end of the purse. Cuts Fights Too Fine. Attell has been cutting his fights too fine on many occasions and he turned the trick once more yesterday. In splen- did condition and with a better head than the Englishman, who was wild on many occasions, Attell only needed to take the chance of exchanging punches, Round after round Attell showed an advantage over his opponent, but it was not sefflesentiy marked to give him a distinctive lead. Showing more aggres- siveness than he did on the last occa- sion when they met, Attell disappoint- ed his admirers, who expected him to display the same snap that he did against Battling Nelson. Better Boxer Than Puncher. Moran was also, in some respects, a disappointment, The little Britisher was trained to the hour, but proved to be far more of a boxer than puncher. He repeatedly hit Attell with straight lefts and rights, but they did not have the damaging force that he has been cred- ited with possessing. Until almost the close of the fight he had not left a mark on Attell and then, in the twenty-first round, it was a straight left that opened Abe’s right eye a bit. Attell on the other hand cut Owen badly in the seventh. A right to the left eye caused the blood to flow freely and frequent jabs during the remainder of the journey kept opening up the cut. Moran was aiso cut about the mouth and bleeding at the nose. He was a tired boy in the twenty-second round when the American punished him Se- verely in the bout, but Attell had waited too long for the rally and was unable to accomplish much, Straight Left Best. Attell did his most effective work with a straight left to the face and !efts to the stomach that must have hurt the Englishman, for he winced repeatedly even though he tried to grin. “T thought tnat I was entitled to the decision because I forced all the fight- ing,”’ said Moran today, ‘“‘but there is no use of complaining. I would have knocked him out but I broke my hand in the second round. It was the right hand and I could not pse it much after that. If I had both "my hands there would have been no doubt @bout the re- sult. I am ready to fight him again any time. He did not hurt me at any time. I will knock him out if we ever meet again. The cut on the eye I got was not from a punch. He bumped me there with his head.’’ Statement by Referee. Referee Jack Welsh sald: “A draw decision was the only one that I could render under the circum- stances. In the first six rounds 1 ceuld not see that either man had any the test of it. Then Attell took the lead when he opened Moran’s eye and after- wards the. Englishman went to the front. In the last six rounds I could see no advantage. So I had to call ita draw. Attell »s the cleverest fighter in the world, but Moran forced matters which gave him a right to be consid- ered. He hurt Attell with some of his a and Attell’s body blows did the riton no good.” Abe Attell says: “T thought I had that fight won. Moran has not got a punch and he didnt hurt me. After that round, when I cut open his eye, everybody could see that he was trying to lose on a foul. He roughed me with his gloves and once hit me low. He was always fighting after the ,onr sounded. I might have gone after him, but I felt that I was holding him safe. Sure I will fight Moran again, but I will not go mere than 2% rounds with him or with any- one else. I had him cut all to pieces anu he did not mark me until toward the close. 1 think that Welsh should have given me the decision.”’ The receipts of the fight as announced by Promoter Coffroth were $13,408. This was divided, 60 per cent to the fighters ai... 40 per cent to the promoter. The featherweights having fought a draw, t..ar end cf the purse is 50 per cent to each. This makes for the men in- rested: Promoter Coffroth, $5421.20; Abe Attell, $3990.90; Owen Moran, $3990.90. If the moving pictures of the fight are used the principals will have a cer- tain interest. GANS-NELSON FIGHT BRINGS FISTIC CARNIVAL TO CLIMAX SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8—The pugi- listic carnival of this week, wherein possession of two world’s championships were yesterday at stake, will have its climax tomorrow afternoon at Colma, where Battling Nelson will defend his right to the light-weight championship and Joe Gans will endeavor to regain the laurels lost to the Dane in their ounter. a om romoters of the match confident- at the receipts will exceed ken in yesterday at the Both contestants were Pp received ments th Nelson to that road to a & work.

OVER-CAUTION . [New cham ability to absorb punishment oa Op EN Op RNS BILL pion Who Upset the inions of All Leta “aren Pleads for One More Bout With Papke Fallen Champion Offers o No Excuse Other Than That His Eyes Were Battered Shut Early in the Fight. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 8. UT to ribbons and beaten as de- Cisively as any champion who ever relinquished a title, Stanley Ketchel today is finding his only con- solation in the hope that Billy Papke, the new middleweight boss of the world, will give him a return b:.ttle. The “‘Illi- nois Thunderbolt’ is expected to give the fallen champion his answer today. Papke, who is now the likely candi- date to fight Tommy Burns for the heavyweight championship of the world, instead of Ketchel, has another match on which will delay a return battle with Ketchel for some time, even if he does grant the plea for the third meeting. Papke is to garner some expense money at the Jeffries club Oct. 14, when he meets Hugo Kelly. Papke not only won the greatest hon- ors in the middleweight class, but en- riched his bankroll by Ketchel’s financial balm was $6284.. The total receipts of the mill were $18,436, of which the club retained $5500, What Fighters Say. Ketchel, through his manager, O’Connor, says: ‘Papke is entitled to all the glory that goes with the title and prestige of his victory over Ketchel. e have no lame excuses to offer for the de- feat, but the fact remains that Ketch- el’s right eye closed in the first and his other eye closed in the third and he was practically blind thereafter. We want a return match and have asked for it. We gave Papke a return match and expect the same favor now.”’ Papke said: “I guess the public now will take some stock in — story of the Milwauke fight. After that fight I knew I was Ke’chel’s master und only wanted a return match to prove it. My fight has proved it.’” Sianager Jones said: ‘The victory was no surprise to me. I bet on Billy and begged all my friends to do so, but many would not heed my advice. Papke begged me to arrange a return match after Ketchel beat him at Mil- waukee, saying he knew he was Ketch- el’s master and could whip him, so we did not quibble about the terms and the match was easy for that reason.”’ Betting Wasy2 to 1, In defeating Ketchel, Papke delivered the goods he had promised his friends, and upon which thgy had liberally back him in the at 2 to 1L. There never was a time from start to finish when Ketchel seemed to have Papke going, the ‘Illinois Thunderbolt” always holding leads sufficient to gain the decision at any period of the fight, had it been interfered with by the po- lice or stopped for any other reason, Ketchel was knocked down or against the ropes five times in the first round and was saved by the gong, and he was so groggy when the gong sounded that he had to be shown to his corner. He was knocked down twice in the last round. He never floored Papke once, nor did he put any marks on the Illinois boy beyond a slight abrasion of the skin on the nose. Nearly Over in Eleventh. The end would have come in the eleventh round had it been 10 seconds longer, as Ketchel was knocked out cold in the final few seconds of this round. After fighting Ketchel all over the ring in this round, Papke uppercut with right and left hard to the chin, making Ketchel groggy and off is guard. Noting Ketchel’s condition, Papke rushed in, and with a hard right and. left to the jaw he knocked the champion clear out of the ring into the audience and the gong rang. Ketchel had to be assist to his cor- ner, and only for the gong would have been out. Shows He Is Beaten. He responded to the gong at the be- ginning of the twelfth, but quickly showed he was beaten and too groggy to make adequate defense by his inability to even cover up sufficiently to protect himself. Papke rushed in, and after forcing Ketchel to retire to neutral cor- ners, caught him with right and left to the head that sent him reeling, and followed it with a right hook hard to the jaw. sending him down for the count of nine. He arose bleeding profuselv from eye. Was 80 Srosgy a e Joe ast 48 hours, nose and mouth, could not make any defense, and rushed in and put a right ng squarely on the jaw, sending Ketchel down for the full count. Ketehel Lands First. It was the fiercest fight ever fought in the local rings. Ketchel was the worst beaten fighter that ever tried to battle here. he Was assisted to his cor- ner after being knocked qnt he pre- sented a terrible picture, his face being Swollen out of all shape, his right eye and mouth cut and bleeding in streams and his body covered with red blotches to mark spots where Papke had landed with his terrific body punches. Papke carried the fight to Ketchel from the first tap of the gong and he forced the fighting all the way, never backing tp, and always wearing a tan- talizing smile that he would not dis- card, even between rounds. When called to the center of the ring for the start of the fight, he kept his word in refusing to shake hands with Ketchel, having said that Ketchel acted nee talon pany mp in hitting as they were shaking hands for their previous fight in Milwaukee, and he would take no chance of a repetition. - Ketchel Lands First. Ketchel advanced with outstretched hand, but Papke paid no attention to it, and started fiddling, while Ketchel continued to sidestep and hold out his hand. Papke rushed into him and Ketchel landed the first blow of the pent. 2 at ta fe peas, and then Pap- e nw right x ly to the head. “ oe Papke rushed the fighting through in this manner and after each had landed several hard blows, Papke caught Ketchel with a hard right swing to the face that sent the champion sprawling and he turned over on all fours and gazed around to his corner in a be- wildered manner, his face presenting a —-. aes as his right eye had n S nose started bleeding in — ” Ketchel Beaten at Start. Ketchel took nine ar’ arose in a dazed condition only to be floored again with a right swing to the head after taking a count of e'cht. He arose then and a right shot to the iaw put him down for the third time. He arose again and rushed into a clinch.

Handy of the New [Illinois A. C. of Chicago, by winning the sec- ond annual National A. A. U. champion- ship swimming race in the Mississippi, yesterday afternoun, his second victory in two years, gained two legs on the $1000 trophy which must be won three times before it can be taken out of competition making it only necessary for Handy to win again next year to annex the prize. Handy will almost certainly win again next year barring accidents or il] health during the twelve months from now un- ti! next Labor day. There is but, one man !n the East who is credited with a good chance to defeat Handy and he is **‘Bud”’ Goodwin of the New York A. C. Goodwin entered for the race yesterday but failed to compete. Evidently he did not figure the local race an easy event. Handy was confident, before leaving for Chicago last night, that he will win again next year. He covered the en- tire distance with the crawl stroke. Two or three times he slowed down for an instant and treaded water to give his lungs a brief respite from the tremen- dous strain of catching a breath at every fifth stroke, Handy’s face being under water the remainder of the time. Handy’s time yesterday was lhr. 43m. 221-5s. Handy won last year in ihr. 40m. 4s. He swam a perfect race and led from star® to finish easily. Chiengo Men Placed. After Handy came two more Chicago men to take second and third prizes. R. B. Foster of the Chicago A. A. getting second place and Leslie Chiville of the Illinois A. C, ‘third. Foster was han- died by Alex Meffert, former swimming director of the Missouri A. C., who now holds the same position at the Chicago A. . Foster was a member of the American Olympic swimming team. He was Meffert’s hope for a victory over Handy. Meffert kept Foster near Handy and got his man all the best of every current that he could pilot him_ into. Handy ‘was taking matters rather’ easy near the finish when Foster swimming with a fast trudgeon stroke closed the short distance between himself and Handy rapidly. Frank Sullivan, who was in the boat that accompanied Handy, warned him of Foster’s sprint and Handy then hit up his stroke. The finish was close, nevertheless, Handy winning by only 23 seconds. Chiville was the next man to cross the line three minutes later. Then came, two local men, L. B. Banks of the . A. C. and August M. Goessling of the M. A. C., winner of the prize for the first race held three years ago, in which Handy also competed. The event three years ago was a handicap race and therefore not a cuampionship contest. Seven out of the first 10 men to finish were from Chicago. The showing of the local men was a disa pointment, Otto Schwarg swam a saad race con- sidering thatwit Was his first attempt at long-distance swimming. Schwarz took seventh place. Gwynne Evans, Tom Martin and other experienced 10- mile swimmers all finished behind him. Delay at the Start. The start was made off a barge, which was towed out to the middle of the river at a point near the Chain of Rocks, There was a delay in start- ing the race. It was not until 4:25 p. m. that the starting shot was fired. Quite a number of the swimmers were greased with oil from head to foot and wearing goggles which, with the sun shining on their yellow-colored skins erom the oil, made thém appear like mps. hen the starting shot was fired Handy was the first to dive out from the barge. He fnstantly started using the crawl stroke and was soon showing the way to the other 49 starters who jumped off the bage in a bunch. the New Illinois A. \. men, Alex. Gasperick and Leslie Chiville, gradual- ly pulled away from the other swim- mers and ‘vent after Handy in second and third places. Handy set a hot pace and it was not long before the flotilla of launches, speed boats, stéam craft and rowboats numbering close to 200 in all were left behind with the big squad of swimmers, while out in front Handy could be seen tearing through the water at a great rate. The spec- tators on the boats marveled at Han- dy’s speed and the opinion was ex- pressed that he could not keep up the pace. Others who watched Hanvy swim the craw! stroke for 10 miles in 1906 and 1907 declared that the race wag practically decided, and that Handy would win sure. Handy kept his craw] stroke going the entire distance. He won, but Foster gave him quite a scare near the finish. Mrs. Brown of Chicago and Mies Toeppen, a St. Louis woman, both divea off private launches near the start of the race and swam the full distance Mrs. Brown's time was 2h. 5m. Miss Toeppen came in shortly afterwards. A big crowd lined the river banks ana also watched the finish of the race from the Eads Bridge. which was lined three and four deep at the centra] span under which the men finished. : HERE’S WHERE GOODWIN WAS.

Bud Gooa- win, New York Athletic Culb, won hig fifth amateur Athletic Union swimming championship. of the year yesterday at Sheepshead Bay, when he captured the one-mile event from a big fleld of con- testants. With Champion Daniels out of the race the Mercury Foot crack was ex. pected to win the title. The event which was held under the auspices of the American Life Saving Societ proved an easy victory for Goodwin. who led throughout and crossed the finish line over one hundred yards ahead of his clubmate, E.

ANDERSON DEFEATS SERRANO FOR TRIPLE A TENNIS TITLE Byron Anderson won tne title of ten- nis champion of the Triple A Clyb by defeating Ed Serrano in the final match of the aunt tournament on the club's courts in Forest Park yesterday after noon. Serrano started off in fine style and won the first set, 6-4 Angerson then ¢ me back and by playing the hardest kind of tennis managed to take three consecutive sets and the match. The scores were 6-2, 8-6, 8-6. The last two sets were especially hard fought, Ser. rano being tired, but playing carefy] tennis, nevertheless.

But we think it over when SHE, after following the event from the motor boat, Wants to know where the swimmers are what it is all about, our eyes are opened to the fact that there is nothing in the event that is spectacular and not much that is visible. Furthermore there nothing even dangerous about it. Conducted perfectly, as yesterday's event was, every man was protected by a boat from the start to the finish. In each boat was an expert swimmer ready to — over the side if the con- testant should be so unfortunate as to be unable to swim 10 feet xurther. So much for the hazard of the race. As for the endurance, the event is nothing like as much an endur.nce contest as a two-mile swim in still water. Not a contestant in yesterday’s event was seriously taxed to go the route. Some gave up, realizing the hopelessness of trying to catch the flying leader. But none Was exhausted of those who fin- ished. ’ Nothing to See. A S for the event from the specta- tors’ -standpoint, it is a joke. There is nothing to be seen be- side a little cork-like head here and there. They might be .floating water- melons for all the onlooker from the launch or the big excursion boats can see, The chief enjoyment of the occasion seems to lie in the entertainment af- forded on the boats, which carry the various spectators. A dreadful calam- ity happened on one of these yesterday —the supply of bottled -beer ran out. Beyond this there were no casualties. For the rest, a good 100-yard dash, that can be begun and ended in less than 10 seconds, is worth mare than two hours of tiresome hinos work at a ‘‘Marathon” swim EFENSIVE baseball, as a means of winning championships, can hardly be said to have been in- dorsed by the two games yesterday at Detroit. The Browns outplayed Detroit on the defense, the error column only partly showing the superiority of the St. Louis team in this respect. Al- though the Tigers won twice, the win- ners made a total of five misplays, as against one for McAleer’s cohorts: The hits were not so preponderantly in fa- vor of Detroit, a difference of but three safeties r= geghasen J the teams in the records. The breaks of baseball stepped into the arena and gave the Browns “thumbs down” for t day. That seems the only explanation that can be mg of the defeat of the St. Louis eam, Of the five-game series begun today at Cleveland the Browns should win the majority and make amends for the fall- ure of the club at Detroit.

DAVENPORT, Io., Sept. 8.—Address- ing a big Labor day crowd here yester- day, William Randolph Hearst asserted that William J. Bryan while a congress- man said that American manufacturers were “robbers” and that «American workingmen were ‘‘a lot of public beg- gars.”’ Mr. Hearst read an affidavit made July 7, 198, by James Campbell of Pitts- burg, formerly president of the Interna- tional Association of Window Glass Workers, in which Campbell made oath that on Sept. 1, 1893, at a meeting of the Ways.and Means Committee of the House of Representatives in Washing- ton William Jennings Bryan, a member of that committee, in talking to James A. Chambers of the Manufacturers’ Committee, referred to the manufac- turers as ‘‘robbers.”’ “I then said to Mr. Bryan,” the affi- davit continues, ‘‘ ‘if you consider the manufacturers robbers, what do you think of the workers?’ To which Mr. lic beggars.’ "’ Bryant Against Bryan. Mr, Hearst also read a letter from Charies Bryant of Anderson, Ind., dated Sept. 2, 1896, in which Bryant said he had made affidavit that he also heard Mr. Bryan characterize the warkingmen as a lot of public beggars, and when one of the workingmen answered and said. “We do not look upon it as begging to ask for protection against the importa- tion of foreign products,” Mr. Bryan made answer: “Nevertheless, you are public beggars.”’ Mr. Hearst said: “T do not think that any man who calls the manufacturers of the United States robbers and the workingmen of the United States beggars ought to be President of this great American peo- ple.’”’ Thomas L. Hisgen, the Independence party candidate for President, accompa- nied Mr. Hearst to the speakers’ stand and also made a speech, but Mr. Hearst was the principal speaker of the day. In the first 600 wards of Mr. Hearst’s speech he used the personal pronoun “‘I’’ 83 times, beginning seven consecutive sentences with it. Bryan Denies Hearst Charges. Speciai to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—‘I have not read the affidavits or the Hearst speech,” said Mr. Bryan this morning, ‘“‘but I can say that I never said ‘working men were a lot of public beggars.’ The Wilson bill was undér consideration in 1893. “IT am not running against Mr. Hearst,”’ he added, “but against Mr. Taft, and if Mr. Hearst will come out and say that his purpose is te aid the Republican ticket, or if Mr. Taft will indorse’ Mr. Hearst*’s campaign meth- ods, then I will answer Mr. Hearst.” At the Brand Park meeting last night Mr, Bryan was interrupted by a man who asked him about the oe at- tack. “It is a reflection upon the reform element,” said Mr. Bryan, ‘“‘to suppose that they are going to be misled into divisions, When we have gained the re- forms we want, then it will be time for use to divide.” The tegitimate PAID circulation of the Post-Dispatch in St. Louis and ite suberbs is greater than that of ALL other Eaglish -Dailies COM.

Baker and Mrs. Syivia Hernice has had a new element of mystery added to it by the disappear- ance of George Warren, with whom Mrs. Hernice was to elope.

He had already rescued the mother, Mrs. William Clampel, using his coat to protect her. He carried her down the stairs and she cried for her child when the street was reached. Disregarding his own injuries, Tuck hurried back and safely brought the infant out of the house. On his second trip he was unable to prevent his own clothing from taking fire. When he jaid the child in its mother’s arms he collapsed and died. Neither Mrs. Clam- pel nor her child was seriously injured.

& Jawn; as long as in the bedreom of her home at 7 p. m., last, beens ohe! Monday and died twe heurs later at the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium with- out making a statement. Mrs. Warsen, prior te her marriage 10 years ago, Was Wiss Madge Redd, a noted Kentreky beauty. Two weeks age she attempted to take her life by drinking laudanum. Joseph B. Tayler of 4377 Delmar boule- vard was in the rear yard of his home when he heard a revolver shot in the Warren flat next door. Through the window of the rear bedroom of the Warren flat came the sound of @ man’s veice, saying: “Go and tell somebody.” A boy’s voice answered: “I don’t know whom to tell.’’ Taylor entered the Warren flat and ran upstairs. He went to the rear bed- room from which the sound of the shot had come. Revolver 10 Feet Away. Mrs. Warren was lying on the floor in the center of the room. Her hus- band and her son, Oliver, 7 years old, and a negro maid were bending over Mrs. Warren. On the bed 10 feet from the prostrate woman lay a revolver. Warren was unable to make a coher- ent statement. All he was able to say was that he had come home an hour before and went to sleep on a couch in the parlor. Awakened by the shot, he ran into the bedroom and found his wife lying on the floor, he said. Warren is the sen of the late Isaac S. Warren, a wealthy citizen of Kirk- wood. He ig 32 years old. His friends say that in the 10 years since his mar- riage he has spent two fortunes, those left him separately by his father and his mother, and that his beautiful young wife frequently complained of ithe irregularity of his habits and pleaded with him to invest what re- mained of his fortune in some business and live a more settled life. Warren for several years was a boon companion of Jimmy Hopkins, son of the president of the Diamond Match Co., who was disinherited when he eloped with a St. Louis girl, and who died recently at Colorado Springs. While being taken in an ambulance to the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium after the shooting, Mrs. Warren was con- scious. She begged that an anesthetic be administered to ease her pain. Dr. Floyd Stewart, her family physician, who rode with her to the hospital, questioned her closely, but she would not say that she shot herself. She died refusing to make a statement as to whether her wound was self-inflicted. Warren's condition after the shooting was such that two policemen were sta- tioned at the house te care for him, and Mr. Taylor, his next-door neighbor, remained in his room with him all night. Tuesday it was stated that Warren was still in no condition to make a statement. The Warrens were married at Lexing- ton, Ky., but they lived in St. Louis for the last nine years. She was his first cousin. While they never formally agreed to separate, there were periods when’ they lived apart and when Mrs. Warren did not know where her husband was. Dr. Stewart said Tuesday that Mrs, Stewart called his office on the tele- phone six times Monday afternoon, say- ing that she wanted to see him at once. He was out and did not receive the messages until his return to his office late in the afternoon. He was about to start to the Warren home when another message came that Mrs. Warren had shot herself. q ‘Mrs. Warren had frequently told me that she was tired of life and would ‘end it all.’ said Dr. Stewart. The Post-Dispatch is the only evening newspaper in St. Louis that receives or publishes aews gathered by the Assoct- ated Press. “JOE FOLK’S MILITIA” BOYS MAKE LONG MARCH IN COUNTY They Return From Hike and Target Practice Realy for Mother's : Cooking.
