which they did not then control for it was not in existence in Danville, but In 1895 they made sure of that by getting a 50-year franchise to lay pipes ana wires for supplying steam and electricity for heating purposes. This plant they ) put in operatfn in connection with their other industries and thus they owned the street railway, the electric and gas lighting and the power and heating ser- vices of Danville, their control being like that of the North American Co, in St. Louis. ie The system was completed by 1895. As- sociated with the Cannons in business were A. C. Daniels and Frank Penwell, both Danville capitalists. In 1895, Representative, now Speaker Cannon, made a strike for Danville by getting a bill through Congress esta- blishing a Soldiers’ Home here. The home was built at a beautiful spot two and one-half miles from Danv'%le. Soon after the home wag built, the street railway company got a franchise for a line to the home and its tracks were laid into the grounds of the home. Band concerts are given there three times a week. The old soldiers have many visitors from Danville and from Other cities. They also frequently come down town. The fare is 5 cents. Danville business men sayit was the line to the Soldier’s Home which made the street railway company a valuable property. The next move in the public utilities business came in 1898, after ‘‘Charley’”’ Allen, Republican member of the Illi- nois Legislature from this city, intro- duced a bill which passed, enabling Street railway compantes to get fran- chises for 30 years, instead of 20 years, as under the old law. , Obtained 30-Year Franchise. At the time it was said that the :Chi- street railway interests wanted this change. Charles T. Yerkes, the _ traction millionaire, had fought for a 60-year franchise, but this city was all that the Legislature benefited. Soon after this the Danville Gas, Electric Light and Street Railway Co., which was the corporate consolidation of all the Cannon interests, applied to the Danville City Council for an extension of its franchise to 30 years, under the Allen law. The bill granting a 20-year franchise to the company for nothing passed the Council, but the Democratic Mayor vetoed it. lt was promptly passed over his veto. Although it was generally known that Joseph G. Cannon was the political power in the Cannon family, he sel- dom appeared on behalf of the Cannon interests in business. Joseph took an active hand when the company was changing from horses to electricity. Mayor Beard contended that the com- pany was not changing its tracks ac- cording to ordinance and he prepared to tear up the tracks. Joseph G. Can- hon then went into court as attorney and got an injunetion against the Mayor. Soon after the street railway fran- chise was extended to 30 years, the Cannons sold their public utilities in- terests here to the Illinois Traction Co., or the McKinley syndicate, as it is termed. This is the same company which is building the trolley bridge at St. Louis. Congressman W. B. Mc- Kinley of Champaign is the head of it. Rates Once Were High. _The rates charged by the utilities com- pany for its services at present are as follows: Gas, $1.25 per 1000 feet; power, 5 cents per watt hour; incandescent’ electric ght, 50 cents per light per month if burned until midnight; $1 per month per light for all-night light; $1.25 per month Per light for day lighting. For heating the company makes con- tracts specially for each building and its rate is not fixed. Consumers say these rates have been in force since about 1900, but before that they were higher, the price for gas in the early days being as high as $ a thousand feet. Mr. McKinley and Speaker Cannon are fast friends. Mr. McKinley managed the Cannon campaign this year for the presidency. The price which the Cannon interests got for their stock in the Danville Gas, Electric Light and Street Railway Co. has never been made public. but it is generally understood in Danville that it Was about $700,000, mostly cash, but partly in bonds, with the Danville public | Service properties as security.

Mr. Leseure, and Mr. King, the trustee of the William P. Cannon estate, are the active business men.

Porthos Informs His Fellow Musketeers That Sir Andreas Has Dispatched Message | Showing Where the River Is.

In the shadow of the towering Cita- del walls sat Athos Ziebold and Aramis Miller, waiting, waiting, waiting through the long night. “What can have befallen our good comrade, Porthos?” quoth Aramis, anx- iously, a if “Belike he hath come into the hands of the fearsome Sir Rolla,” said Athos. Even as they spoke there was a rust- ling in the bushes near-by and a shad- owy form crept forth. “Who goes there?” challenged Athos. “A friend.”’ “Advance and give the countersign.”’ The shadowy form moved forward. From it in a deep voice: “Eeny, meeny, miney mo, Bulld the bridge and watch it grow. If they try toe stop the work, Stick ’em with your trusty dirk.” “As I live and breathe,” cried Aramis, it is our valiant Porthos!" An Adventure This Night. “Ay,”’ thundered Porthos, ‘‘and this night I have had an adventure. What's in the larder?’’ Having devoured inany sandwiches, Porthos sat with his back against the citadel wall. “In truth it was an adventure’ s2id, wiping his chops with the he- of his doublet. “Here was the manner of it: “Creeping along the furthermost wall of the Citadel, I did observe a light in the buttressed casement window of Sir Andreas Hofer O'Reilly.” “Ho for O'Reilly,” cried Aramis. “Ho for O’Rellly,"" shouted Athos. “And I,” continued Porthos, ‘‘was filled with an o’erweelng desire to learn what did the puissant Sir Andreas in his tower at dead of night. ‘Aha,’ said I to myself, ‘I will scale the wall and peep into the casement window.’ “Now, thou knowest I hav~ not the Porthos, raised my head above it and what think you I saw, comradés?”’ “What:’ cried Athos. “What?” gasped Aramis. “Upon the selfsame ledge,’’ quoth “were two others, one short and one tall, who peered into Sir An- dreas' casement window. And the taller one turned to the shorter one, saying: ‘He hath done it.’ Then they turned from the window, in the light of which I plainly saw their faces. And who were they, think you?’ “Who?” cried Athos. “Who? gasped Aramis. Sir Rolla and Charlemagne, “The shorter,”’ said Porthos, ‘was the redoubtable Sir Rolla and the taller was his faithful retainer, Sir Charle- magne Bates. Not having my sword hand free, I loosed my hold on the ledge and dropped to the ground. “As I fell into the road that skirts the Citadel, a messenger rode swiftly through the postern gate. I had no time to dodge the heels of his horse, which knocked me down and rolled me over. “When I came to my senses again, Sir Rolia and Sir Charlemagne were gone. A warder was bending over me. “*Who,’ I asked weakly, ‘was the squire who rode so hotly toward the city ?’ “*That,’ he replied, ‘was the messen- ger of Sir Andreas Hofer O'Reilly, hur- rying to the post with the plans for the Free ridge. But an instant be- fore, Sir Andreas had stamped and sealed them in the tower where yon- der light is burning.’ Then came I here post-haste to tell you of it.”’ “And,” cried Athos and Aramis to- gether, ‘“‘will the plans of Sir Andreas show the war lords HOW THE BRIDGER SHALL BE BUILT?” “Nay, not so much as that,” Porthos. “But it will show the lords WHERE THE RIVER IS.” quoth war

Williams, in the Cir- cult Court, tried hard Friday to reunite husband and wife estranged by what the Court called trivial differences, but he. failed. “Wouldn't go back to her,” was hus- band’s comment. “Wouldn't live with him again,”’ wife retorted. Robert B. Hickey, a young electrician of 3211 Washington avenue, had sued for divorce from his wife, Cora, charging that she nagged him about “small inat- ters’ dnd flirted with other men.

DES MOINES, Io., Sept. 11.—The $20 bonds of Mrs. Percy Stein and Mrs. Mary Bayard, her mother, holding them to appear to answer charges of the mur- der of Percy Stein and Miss Hester Porter in Loudenville, O., to be filed by the Ohio authorities, were dismissed to- day by Chief of Detectives Edward Johnson and the women are at liberty. Johnson said he feit the Ohlo authori- ties had had sufficient time to reach here with requisition papers if they had been in earnest. The women are visit- ing their brother at Rippey and received the news of their absolute freedom with & sigh of relief. “It was just persecution,”’ said Mrs. Stein. ‘‘That there ever could have been a suspicion that I or my mother desired the death of my husband I can- not understand. We never had any trouble and the one desire of my life was that Percy should live and be with me. We were always happy. My life has been blighted by having him taken from me. ‘“* nave never feared prosecution for his murder because I knew I and my mother were innocent. There is no question, it seems now, that he must have killed Aunt Hester and then him- self, but he must have been temporar- ily insane, for he had no troubles which I know, and he was apparently cheer- ful after arriving in udenvilie.”’ Counsel Morris for the women today showed a letter written by Morris Stein and mailed to his wife an hour before he left Des Moines telling her he was coming ape to meet him at the train. The letter arrived in Londenville after he did. The writing of this is urged as an indication of his insanity. That he purchased the revolver that did the killing of a local sporting & firm is established and the reco wil.

‘PARENT

She Raves “Tittle Mother” Succumbs Nearby. ‘‘tuzed by grief over the deaths of two of her children, little girls whose clothing was ignited by the same gaso- line stove, Mrs. Helen Lansing of 217 Bouth Seventh street is in the observa- tion ward of the City Hospital. She was raving there Thursday night when «her 10-year-old daughter, Flor- ence, died in a ward cn the same floor, less than 50 feet away. Florence met death in the same manner as did her sister, Mamie, three years ago. Mrs. Lansing was visiting Mrs. John Crowley at 6626 Michigan avenue wher the accident of Thursday occurred, Stove Near a Window. Florence was left to take care of her sisters, Dorothy, 5, and Irene, 3. They waited for their mamma fo come heme for dinner. When she did not, Florence decided to cook the meal, as her little Bisters were complaining that they were hunery. She lit the gasoline stove, which was near an open window. A gust of wind caused the flame_to ignite her skirt. Thinking first of her sisters, she pushed them from the reom and closed the doer and then she screamed for help. The flames were extinguished by Fred Witt and Frank Rau Jr., passersby, but not before the child had been horribly burned. ‘ Mother's Mind Gives Way, When Mrs, Lansing reached heme alt hour later and learned what had hap- pened, her mind gave way. She was taken to the City Hospital, but because of her mental cendition, she was not permitted to see her child. The accident in which Mamie Lansing Was burned to death three years ago eccurred when the family lived at 7221 Tennessee avenue, CREDITOR SEEKS TO HAVE THAW CITED FOR CONTEMPT Referee Refuses Until Bankrupt Has Full Opportunity to Appear.

15,000 T0 GUARD CATHOLIC PARADE Special to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Sept. 11.—The Eucharistic Congress is absorbing attention here. It is the most impressive religious gathering ever held in London. West- minster swarms with foreign dignita- ries, magnificently attired, hundreds of priests from all parts of Europe and thousands of devout Catholics. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore attracts the most interest after the Papal Lega- tee, who is surrounded by an almost royal court. There is profound anxiety lest the procession of the Blessed Sacra- ment on Sunday afternoon may result in disorder as the extreme Protestant party is calling for support in publicly protesting against ‘“‘such a ceremony being held in the capital of a Pretestant kingdem.’’ They appealed to King Ed- ward and demanded that the Home Secretary prohibit the precession, as one section of the Cathelic Emancipation Act of 1829 prehibits Catholics having any religious ceremony ing England, except in a church or a private heuse. The Home Secretary has ignored this de- mand. A guard of 15,000 Catholics, mostly Irishmen,. has been formed te protect the precession from interference, and bleodshed may ensue if the Protestants persist in protesting against a cere- meny which the Catholics regard with pecullar veneration. Resolutions pledging devotion te the Blessed Sacrament and _ unalterable fidejity te the Apostolic See were adopt- ed by acclamation at the first meeting. Archbishop Bruchesi of Montreal de- clared: “The congress marks the re- entry of Catholicism into its old king- dem, and three days hence the Holy Sacrament, hitherto carried only under priests’ robes, will be berne publicly through the streets of London as a re- sult of the congress. I cheerish the hope that all England will return to the Catholic faith.’’ JEFFERSON CLUB STARTS ITS OWN PRIMARY INVESTIGATION Announces Inquiry Into Republican Vote for Circuit Attorney. President Ra'ph W. Coale said Fri- day that the Jefferson Club will inves- tigate the returns from every precinct in the city of the vote cast at the re- cent primaries for the Republican can- didates fer Circuit Attorney “The reason we have selected the of- fee of Circuit Attorney,” Chale added, “is because there was a contest for that * office. iow his following wanted it y ig Mowat brother-in-law, Seebert Jones. There were other candidates who made a fight for~ it. In the. case of Governor, there was ne opposition to Hadley and so there !{s no oce: sion for us to look into those returns. QOur com- mittee will meet every night and give out Its results as ft recejyes them.” The Third Ward returns have already been looked over and they show that Jehnsen, Fensky and Fish received practically no votes, whi'e Jones is cred- ited with 356. Webster received 47 votas but he got them al! in’ two precincts. The other 1) gave him a blank, John- fon got only three votes, alj in one precinct. Fensky was given six votes— two in one precinct and four in another.

Fish received seven votes. LEGAL NOTICE CARED. WIDOW Mrs. Margaret Tayes, a widew, of 3113 Bell avenue, has written to the Post- Dispatch asking whether her furniture can be taken away from her because she has received a notice from Justice of the Peace Moore’s court informing her that unless she pays $2 on a a Wave Ice Co. account a suit te obtain judgment on her household geods will instituted. ss a pont: $10 to the ice company, Mrs. Tayes writes, “but I have paid it al’ off except $2 in installments of 25 and 60 eents. I am a widow and make my liv- ing washing and ironing and am willing to pay as L have in the past. I want to know if my household goods can be seized.’’ When questioned by*a Post-Dispatch reperter Justice Moore said: The no- tices we send out are designed to help the people. In the case of Mrs. Tayes the ice company presented to us a claim for $2. Now, if a suit were instituted Mrs. Taves might have to pay the Cests, which would amount to at least $5, and if she had a lawyer, a counsel's fee. We send this notice to warn her of this. She can now come in and prevent suit by the payment of the remainder of her bill.”’

Mr. Moore said that great injustice had been done him in the accusation that the notices were used as a collec- tion agencv. He sald the sele purpose of the notices was to save the people costs in the suits.

' Put to Flight Each Time When _ Sighted by Valiant - Housewives.

The police are looking for the un- : Juckiest burglar in St. Louis—if a man | whe invades three homes in one night and fails to acquire any loot may called a burglar. His first bit of hard luck was at the home of Mrs. Clara Cook, 4322 West Pine boulevard, at 8 p. m. Thursday. be | He climbed a porch in the rear of the house, lifted out a screen and crawled _ into a bedroom. Mrs. Cook and other members of the heusehold were sitting on the front | porch. They heard someone makin, a ‘noise and Mrs. Cook went upstairs to investigate. While she was going up the burglar took the porch route back to the yard and disappeared, empty- | panded. Mrs. Cook found a pasteboard box containing her silverware on a bed. : The personification of misfortune in | the burglar line waited two hours and ' then tried to rob the home of Andrew Ryan, 440 McPherson avenue. Ordered Away by Girl. Ryan's sisters, Misses Nellie and Mar- tha, were in the dining room when they heard the burglar. From the noise he made they concluded that he was testing the rear porch to ascertain whether it was strong enough to sup- port him. “Who's there?’ Ryan. He declined to answer. “You get right off our porch,’ shout- ed Miss Martha Ryaj, The burglar took her advice and fled, empty-handed again. Apparently he crossed the yard to the home of Mrs. L. B. Richey, 42% Mc- Pherson avenue. Mrs. Richey was in the reception hall. Her brother-in-law and her sister, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Bunton, were sitting on the front porch. Mrs. Richey heard gome one lift the screen from a kitchen window and then heard him walking about the house. , Routed by a Woman, She hurried through the dining room. The door to the kitchen was open. She saw the burglar and the burglar saw her. He jumped through the kitchen window and fled. Nothing was missed in the house. Edward Beckman, a brok»or, tried hard to find a burglar in his home at 6895 Plymouth avenue at 1 a. m. Friday, when he went down stairs to get a drink of water. He thought he heard so_1e one walking on the lower floor. He shouted “Burglars!'’ and by the time he had reached upstairs and returned with a pistol the neighbors began to arrive, armed with guns, clubs, hatchets and brooms. The front door was found open, but there was no burglar and nothing was missing. Beckmann decided thet he had left the door open himself, and went back to bed.

== PUBLIC SCHOOLS T0 TEACH SPECIAL MATRIMONY COURSE Kansas Educator Says This Is Nec- essary to Prevent Increase of Insanity. TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 11.—‘‘The time is coming when a course preparatory to matrimony will be offered in our public schools in which young men and women will be taught some important matters relative to marriage,” said Prof. F. H. Blackmar, head of the department of sociology in the Univer- sity of Kansas, here last night, in an address before the superintendents of Kansas’ charitable institutions. Prof. Blackmar believes a course would go far toward improving Ameri- cans and he believes it is the most expedient remedy for unhappy mar- riages. Prof. Blackmar advocated a strict physical and mental examination for all applicants for marriage licenses. Per- sons afflicted with pulmonary or men- tal diseases should not be allowed to marry, he said. Careful selection is believed by Prof. Blackmar and the superintendents of the hospitals for the insane and penal institutions to be necessary to prevent an. increase in in- ganity, epilepsy and crime.

“REGISTER TODAY” WILL BE SIGH GN EVERY STREET CAR IN ST. LOUIS NEXT WEEK

Municipal Voters’ League Enlists Aid of United Railways in Bringing Out Vote. On the first four days of next week every street car in St. Louls will carry one its front dashboard a conspicuous sign reading: ‘Register today.” The Municipal Voters’ League has en- listed the ald of Capt. Robert McCul- loch of the/ United Railways Co. in bringing out a full vote at the coming election by reminding the voters cf the necessity for registering. No action .will be taken by the league regarding Harry Walsh, Demo- cratic candidate for Ciroult Attorney, and Eddie Morrissey,,Democratic candi- date fdr Sheriff, as the organization has decided to limit its field of operations to the Council and House of Delegates. Edward Hidden, chairman of the league, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the organization was anxious to take up the matter of undesirable can- didates on the city ticket, but had de- cided to follow the precedent of other voters’ leagues and work to better the | Municipal Assembly. The league is sending out letters to all the business and civic organizations, labor unions and churches of St. Louis, requesting that all members register Sept. 14, 15, 16 and 17. In order to par- ticipate in the city election in the spring voters must register next week. A letter is also being sent to individual voters urging them to register. A sub-committee consisting of Wallace Simmons, Thomas Maffit and Edward Hidden was appointed Thursday to at- tend to other work of the league.

A FOURTEEN-FOOT CHANNEL. Both presidential candidates will address the Waterways Convention in Chicago, which meets Oct. 7. Both parties are committed to the lake to gulf improvement project, which contemplates @ 14-foot channel through the Mississippi Val- ley. The convention is bound to have important results, since it is expected that the scheme will there crystallize and take form in a definite pro- gram. The work from Chicago to the mouth of the Illinois River presents special problems which will be attacked by the State of Ilinois. In Oc-, tober, 1907, the Legislature voted a loan of $20,- 000,000 for the purpose, subject to a vote of the people in November of this. year. For the rest, the Inland Waterway Commission appointed by President Roosevelt and acting under national authority will make estimates and recommenda- tions, having in view a comprehensive plan, in- cluding the improvement.of the Mississippi to the gulf and other important Western rivers. The project is no longer a local or sectional demand, but a scheme of nationa! interest in which the whole country engages. The force cf an educated, intelligent and energetic public sen- -timent is behind it and nobody now thinks of any but progressive and continuous work. It is gratifying to reflect that. this great un- @ertaking had its inception in St. Louis, when the Post-Dispatch first called attention to the im- “portance, even the necessity, of a deep water- way from Chicago to the gulf, in connection with ‘the Panama Canal. This suggestion was taken »up by the Business Men’s League, which worked with so much effect that the Democratic Con- vention of 1904 made it a plank in the platform of that party. Later President Roosevelt’s inter- “est was obtained and he went at the matter with bts wonted energy. The result is that it is now a t national purpose, all parties concurring, while the attendant financial and engineering epetieme are in process of solution. The Waterways Convention cf 1908 should mark era in the economic development of the coun- i‘. But this can be assured only by the ex- ( fteise of watchfulness on the part of the business a munity to see that Congress is kept up to the rk. There must be no rest until the project * placed by legislation upon a permanent basis, hich is the condition precedent of continuous work. The day of spasmodic work, here and ere, depending Upon niggardly or occasional Avvo has gone by. ry = —— Sa - For the purpose of encouraging the law, we fice glad to record that it has been getting tte “better of Judge Lynch in several instances ‘here vlately. The law proves to be really an excellent “thing when tried, and we recommend it particu- “larly on violent occasions. If people would get ‘nto the habit of using the law they might even tually come to prefer it to all other remedies

Once set up, it looks so fine that he cannot bear to take it down, Sho he just lets it stay up, with the explanaticn oo he wants to give it “‘a thorough test.” Alsv, he has got a collapsible stove ready, and some _@ishes and sleeping bags and new guns and a lot of other new truck, and we suspect that they are in the tent, all nicely in order, so that he cau pee how everything is going to look. On other- _ Wise unoccupied mornings and afternoons, we sus- “pect, likewise, that he dresses up in his new é unting garb, with specially made boots for Mo h wear, and goes out and sits in the tent “and handles the things, changes them about, and maybe tries them. If a visitor could sneak up > Sagamore Hill for a peek unawares he, wouid bably catch the President of the United tates in full costume, playing at camping out = his front yard. Without wagering anything ot value, we venture, however, that there is a fire going in the collapsible stove. Right now “we do not know of any boy in America who iz “having any more fun than the big boy with his _ tent, who can sit at the flap with his shiny new gun and aim at an imaginary lion behind the ymydrangea bush and a tiger sneaking up along the hedge. ey Everybody will sympathize with his impa: “thence. Six months is an awful long time to have “© wait. Really it is pretty hard to have to te President of the United States and stick aroun:} this stupid old country when all one’s instincts om simply crying out for Africa.

Ts eee Electric proposes to install a complaint * mt. Let us hope that it will do so ar A “re egg extensive enough to handle be Ye and objections to THE VITAL QUESTION. One of the meatiest, most significant utterances in the Republican platform is contained in the following paragraph: Notwithstanding the satisfactory and efficient records that have been made by the respective State officials during the last four years, the people of Missouri are asked in this campaign to restore the conduct of State affairs to that faction of the Democratic party which was driven from power in 1904. In this connection we call the attention of the people to the fact that the present Democratic Governor of the State and many of his supporters have frequently charged in public speeches that prior to 1904 the Demo- cratic leaders then in charge of State affairs had used police departments and election boards of the large cities as political machines; that they had so prostituted the ballot to corrupt political purposes that elections no longer expressed the free will of a free people; that the police depart- ments of the large cities had under their admin- istration become both inefficient and corrupt; that the bribe giver and the bribe taker “stalked through legislative halls and went unwhipped of justice; in fact, it was the charge of Gov. Folk that the State Government had been so conduct- ed by the men then in control of the Democratic party that the “restoration of the principles of common honesty had become the paramount is- sue in Missouri politics.’’ Practically every word of this indictment of the Democratic party as it was conducted before the Folk reform movement swept the Staie, smashing the old machine and defeating its branded candidates, is true. The picture cannot well be painted too dark. The old Democratic organization was packed with corporation agents and tools. Party leaders, while denouncing cor- poration political influence in public dickered with corporation representatives in private. Cor- poration contributions to party campaign funds were received and concealed. Lobbyists swarmed at the State capital dealing out favors to legis- lators and party leaders in return for political and legislative favors. Boodle reigned in the State Legislature. The exposure of one of sev- eral gigantic boodle deals shocked, not only the State, but the entire country. Measures were passed or beaten as interested corporations dic- tated. It is needless to revive the police scandals oi St. Louis in which the force was not only put into politics, but into nearly everything it should have been out of. The police force was the in- strument of the political machine. It connived at thuggery and shameless election frauds. But enough of unpleasant memories. We cal! attention to the facts to emphasize the question whether or not it is true as charged in the Re- publican platform that the voters are asked to restore the conduct of the party to the faction which was driven from power in 1904. That is the vital question in the State. cam-: paign. It was fortunate for the State Democracy that the Folk administration—the Folk reform move- ment which is bigger than Gov. Folk, but which he représents—intervened between 1904 and the present campaign. The value of the reform move- ment in the party and the reform administration which it carried into power to the Democratic party is proven by the fact that the Republicans found practically nothing to criticise in the work of a Democratic Governor and a Democratic Leg- islature for the past four years. On the contrary the Republican platform is a practical indorse- mefkt of the Folk administration. The policies it commends in the main are Folk policies and the policies to which it pledges the party are in the main based upon measures suggested, initiated or carried through during the Folk administra‘ tion. The Democracy, as far as State issues are coneerned, would be in a hopeless predicament if the fire of the enemy had not been blocked by the achievements of the new Democracy. « Unfortunately there is nothing in the proceed- ings of the Democratic gathering at Jefferson City to indicate that the party leaders realized the value of the Folk reforms—realized at all that the present reform administration is ihe party’s greatest asset in the State campaign. There was no public recognition of the fact that the party must depend upon the reforms accom- plished within the past four years for its stan4- ing in the State, and for its necessary suppcrt from a large element of Democratic and inde- pendent voters. The platform perfunctorily in- dorsed the Folk administration with other ad- ministrations good, bad and indifferent. It in- dorsed the record of Senator Stone, who was the head and front, the guide and counselor of the old discredited machine, which jammed his candidacy through the Legislature against an overwhelming popular sentiment, and whese leaders and following are supporting his candi- dacy for re-election, Conspicuous in the con- vention were several discredited and beaten lead- ers of the “old gang,” whose activity suggested tha “gum shoe” conferences and backroom deals of the past. The Democratic convention had the opportu- nity of squelching the issue raised by the Re- publicans before it was launched. It could have declared frankly and convincingly its sympathy with the reform movement. It could have repu- diated the discredited leaders who brought the party into condemnation and reproach. It could have stood squarely on the Democratic achieve- ments of the past four years and upon the re- jform issues which they represent. It ‘could have assured the people beyond doubt that the party would go forward on the lines of reform which have accomplished so much ‘or the people of Missouri. have yet to answer the vital question raised by the Republicans: Is the conduct of party to be turned over to the faction which was drivn from power in 1904? Is there to be any compromise with the men and the methods repudiated in 1904?

Guess How would it do to turn the River des Peres through the House of Delegates? == = i i A PRESSURE FOR THE 35-CENT GAS BILL. The demand for passage of the natural gas bill is not confined to any one quarter—it is no un- certain expression, but the concentrated will of St. Louis as a whole. The merchants and manufacturers of St. Louis express themselves as a unit in favor of the great economic measure, which conduces both to greater and better business and to cheaper living. Every man, interested in the building up of the city and in its prosperity, every proprietor of a business as well as every proprietor of a home— every interest but that of the Laclede Gas mo- nopoly and its puppets—recognizes the desirability = = — a

gas for St. Louis. The Laclede monopoly is pulling the wires and arranging its influences against one of the most important measures for the welfare of the city that has ever been before the Municipal Assembly, and the measure is flagrantly held up in the Public Improvement Committee of the House of Delegates. The suggestion of a great mass meeting to bring pressure to bear for the passage of the natural gas bill is a good one. A decisive manifestatién of the will of the city as a whole and a showing of determination. by all elements of citizens is needed. Every strength and influence must be combined to overcome the resistance of the preda- tory corporation to a measure designed to free the city from its clutches. i nde Ap i i The aeromobile will be the very thing for the drunken chauffeur. Under his direction it may fly like a jacksnipe and there will be plenty otf room to turn out of its way.

i Le ttn. —— Sow THAT RANK LITTLE RIVER DES PERES. A proposition to do anything whatever to the River des Peres will have the spontaneous ap- proval of everybody who ever caught a whiff of its perfumes. It is freely supposed that this is the river thot Hercules turned through the Augean stables. It even reminds one of the Chicago River. It is a perfectly impossible little river. There is a sus- picion that the garbage boat Saturn cruises all the way up and down its sinuous and sinister channe! every night. In the dark of the moon the River des Peres possesses a striking verisimilitude to a glue factory raised to the Nth power. In a word the River des Peres is soured and it has completely lost-its self-respect. If the Water Commissioner will lend him a million gallons of water the Health Commissioner says he will wash it cut. By all means iend him two million if he.will actually go ahead and do something to alleviate the scandal. If the Water Commissioner refuses ihe loan, then we suggest that he dump a million barrels of formaldehyde into the purling stream. Anything! Let us congratulate Health Commissioner Winn upon tdking an interest in the matter at least. Heretofore we have observed it to be that Health Commissioners may come and Health Commlis- sioners may go, but the River des Peres runs on forever.

=! ™ wwe LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Who Is ‘Skinny? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Under a skinny man, supposed to be a vegetarian, in a Boston cartoon is written:

I can edt no fat, I eat no lean; My finish will come soon. ’Tis said they find a thinking mind Inhabiting the Prune. The cheap wits always represent vegetarians as skin- ny. Some vegetarians—those who have reformed aft- er having been on a meat diet many years, are skin- ny. -The skinniest people I know are meat-eaters. Hundreds of children brought up on meat have grown to be skinny citizens. But cartoonists ag well as writers will probably always misrepresent in order to make a bit. PROTOSE. A City Gehenna. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Near Grand and Laclede avenues is a deserted quarry that is now being filled up with city refuse. This poisonous trash has been set on fire and the pestilent fumes spread all over the neighborhood to a great distance. The drouth that promises to con- tinue fills the very dry air with dust and so causes irritation of the membranes of the nose and throat conducing to disease of those parts. Those having to breathe in day and night those fumes may ex- pect trouble. Is not this a matter for the Health Department to take in hand? DOCTOR. Useless Noise. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Judging by the ignorance or thoughtlessness dis- played by so many people of all ages in doing so many things that annoy other people without doing themselves any good, it is very evident that some education is necessary in the schools, the pulpits and the newspapers to work a change. Take, for instafice, the yelling of newsboys and others on Sunday morn- ings, when those who are bound to rise at a certain time on week days are trying to avail themselvés of the well-earned rrivilege of a little extra sleep, This inordinate and useless shouting also shocks and dis- turbs the sick and nervous, besides rudely disturbing the quiet that should prevail as much as possible on the Sabbath morning. If the police would do their duty, a great deal of the useless noise cou'd well come under the existing ordinance against disturb- ance of the peace. “SUFFERER.” Odors on Chouteau Avenue. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Because the disgusting odors from the packing plant and glue factory on Chouteau, avenue and Market street have penetrated as far as the Laclede street car line, there is an outcry. But the hundreds of passengers on Chouteau avenue cars are disgusted daily by these odors and by the vile smell from 4 rendering plant about a block east of Grand, on Cheuteau which is perhaps the worst smelling of the lot. As »von as we get out of the range of one sick- ening smell, we run into another. Surely the Health Department could do something to make these fac- tories equip their rooms with fans and exhaust pipes to suck up the foul air and emit it from the top of the

TRAVEL WISE. The inexperienced young man traveling in the West went into a ticket office and watched his chance for a word with one of the clerks. “Now,” he said, having purchased his tickets, “I want a berth.” “Sorry, but we have nothing but up- pers left,’”’ said the clerk. The young man frowned—sighed—and bought an upper. A moment later the travel-wise mid- dle-aged man who was going on the same train entered the office. He, too, watched for *- word with one of the clerks, “Now,” he said, having bought his transportation, “I want $2 worth of trav- elers’ accident insurance and a lower berth.” | He Bot it. TROUTING AND HENRY JAMES. I suppose it must have been ‘more or less reading of Henry James in this past year that impelled me to go trout fishing. At any rate, they are one and the same sport. The sensation that now- you-have-it and now-you-haven’t is iden- tical. I fished in the Gunnison, that beautiful Colorado river where they have four kinds of trout. #@ kinds of scenery and two gauges of railroad. Another year, and I shall be able to classify Henry. He is either a Lock- laven, rainbow, brook or native—I am not quite prepared to say which. He probably isn’t a rainbow. He rises more reluctantly, sticks to deeper water, and is seldom so brilliant. I am half con- vinced that he is a Locklaven—being good in spots and rather foreign. But however that may turn out, read- ins Henry and trout fishing are all one sport of nothing certain—nothing real— glimpses—flashes—shadows. A trout rises out of the dark depths just as one of Henry’s brilliants pops out of typo- graphical density. Strike when you feel it~or it Is lost. No use to cast another fly into that pool or page. Trout, Henry James and opportunity all knock but once. At last I know what sort of following the.great trout of literature has. It is enormous—all the trout fishermen.

THE SHANTYBOAT MAN. HE shantyboat man is a dry, spare man With a corn-cob pipe in his mouth, And he comes along in the autumntime, When the birds are going south— His skies are blue, and his wants are few, He lives and loafs content, And he doesn’t care a whoop outdoors Which Bill is President, This is his world—between two shores; This is his life—to float; This is his castle and estate— A half-caulked shantyboat, Master and mate, he rules his fate, Loving his lowly lot, And it doesn’t matter with him a bit Whether school resumes or not. Pirate—loafer and ne’er-do-well— Laugh at his dog and wife; Laugh at the hen-coop on the roof, And the burlesqued simple life; But poor as he is, and the errors his, Think to remember that None but a shantyboater made The port of Ararat.

He ly from pest to post in church and politics until he became dean of ‘Patrick's, He also fought hard and successfully for the better treatment ' Ireland's poor and achieved his greatest fame by writing the immertal satire | as “Gulliver's Travels.”’ It was while Swift as a youth was Secretary to a statesman named Temple that he became tutor to little Esther Johnson, the 8-year-old daughter of his employer's housekeeper. lovable, but beautiful as well. Swift wrote of her: was blacker than a raven and every feature of her face is The name “Esther” An Early The child was not only clever and “Her hair So does means “star.”’ “Stella.” Swift addreesged the child as “Stella” and always af- terward called her by that affectionate nickname. When Stella was older she and an elderly chaperon came to live near Swift in Ireland. For years she and the clergyman had kept up a constant correSpen. dence. As she grew to womanhood their early friendship deepened into love. The girl adored Swift with her whole intense nature. He, on his part, re- ceived her worship as a deserved compliment, flattered or neglected her, ac- Cerding to his whim, and bullied her uumercifully. All his caprices and domi- Ways Stella bore without complaint. Meantime Swift had earlier fallen more or less in love with a Miss Waring It ‘was an age of poetical, high-flown nicknames. For instance, @& man named Peter Jones would sign his leve letters “Eugenio,” while John Smith call himself ‘“Roderigo” or “Amy ntas.”’ Swift called Miss Waring ‘‘Va- "and is said to have preposed.

He calied Miss Vanhomrigh “Vanessa,” and in his peetical effusions addressed to her signed himself ‘“‘Cedanus.” When he went back to Ireland Vanessa followed him and settled in his neighborhood. She was 18. He was 44. He seems to have cared little for her. She leved him with all her heart; so absolutely, indeed, that she was deaf to his hints that he was tired of her devotion. Swift was at his wits’ ends to keep stella and Vanessa from meeting and to guard of each from the other. he privately married Stella. ee Ti @iGnight in a little summer house on the deanery grounds.

You babble to me of limits, Gerald; this is the limit! © you—or does anybody else suppose that I don’t know what is being sald about us?—that play is too high in our house?—that we are not too difficile in our choice of intimates as long as they Can stand the pace!’’ “I—I never elleved that,’ insisted the boy, miserable to see the tears flash inv her eyes and her mouth quiver. “You may as well believe it for it’s true!’ she said, exasperated. “T-true!—Mrs. Ruthven!” “Yes, Gerald!

Yéag S ViE. ‘ r yes, She was absolutely reckless now—and be- neath it all, perhaps, lay a certainty of the boy’s honor. She knew he was to be trusted—was the safest receptacle for wrath so long repressed. She let pru- dence go with a parting and vindictive slap, and opened her heart to the astounded boy. The tempest liasted a few seconds; then she ended as abrupt- ly as she began. She was very light-hearted that even- ing when she dropped him at the Stuy- vesant Club and whizzed away to her own house, for he had promised not to play again on her premises, and she had promised to be nice to him and take him about when she was shy ef an es- cort. She also repeated that he was truly an “‘enigma’”’ and that she was be- ginning to be a little afraid of him, which was an economical way of mak- ing him very proud and happy. Bein his first case of beauty in distress, an his first harmless love affair with a married woman, he looked about him as he entered the club and feit truly that he had already outgrewn the young and callow innocents who haunted it. om * * a a * * On her way home Alixe smilingly re- viewed the episode until doubt of Sel- wyn’s approval crept in again; and her amused smile had faded when she reached her home. The heuse of Ruthven was a small but ultra-modern limestone affair, be- tween Madison and Fifth; a pocket- edition of the larger mansiong of their friends, but with less excuse for the overelaboration sinoe the dimensions were only twenty by a hundred. As a matter of fact its narrow ornate facade presented not a single quiet space the eyes might rest on after a tiring at- tempt to follow and codify the ara- besques, foliations and intricate ver- miculations of what some disrespectfully dubbed as “near-aissance.”’ However, into this limestone bonbon box bey tim Mrs. Ruthven, mounted the miniature stairs with a whirl of her scented skirts, peeped into the drawing room, but continued mount- ing until she whipped into her own apartments, separated from those of her lord and master by a locked door. That is, the door had been locked for a long long time; but presently, to her intenee surprise and annoy- ance, it slowly opened, and a little man appeared in slippered feet. He was a little man, and plump, and at first glance his face appeared boy- ish, and round and quite guiltless of hair or of any hope of it. - But, as he came into the electric light, the hardness of his features Was apparent; he was no boy; a strange idea that he had never been assailed some people. His face was puffy and pauls and faint blue shad- ows hinted of closest shaving; and the line from the wing of the nostrils to the nerveless corners of his thin, hard mouth had been deeply bitten by the acid of unrest, For the remainder he wore pale-rose pajamas under a silk-and-silver ki- mona, an obi plerced with a jewelled scarf pin; and he was smoking a cig- arette as thin aga straw. “Welll” said his young wife in as- tonished displeasure, instinctively tucking her feet—from which her maid had just removed the shoes—under her own chamber-robe. “Send her out a moment,” he said, with a nod of his head toward the maid. His voice was eeable and full—a trifie precise and overcultivated, per- haps. , hen the maid retired, Alixe sat up on the lounge, drawing her skirts down over her small stockined feet. “What on earth is the matter?” she demanded. ‘‘The matter is,” he said, “that Gerald has just telephoned me from the Stuy- vesant that he isn’t coming.” ‘“Well?’’ “No, it isn’t well. This is some of your meddling.’’ “What if it is?” she retorted; but her breath was coming quicker. “I'll tell you; you can get up and ring him up and tell him you expect him tonight.”’ She shook her head, eyeing him all the while. “I won't do it, Jack. What de you want him for? He can’t play with the people who play here; he doesn’t know the rudiments of play. He's only a boy; his money is so tied up that he has to borrow if he lc -s very much. There's no sport in playing with a boy like a eae iia ’ “So you've said before, I believe, but I'm better qualified to judge than you are. Are you going to call him up?” **No, I am not.” tie turned paler. “Get up and go to that telephone!” “You little whippet,” she said slowly, “I was once a soldier’s wife—the only decent thing I ever have been.

If you have any dirty work to do, do it yourself. I’ve dene my share and I’ve finished.’’ He was astonished; that was plain enough. But it was the sudden over- whelming access of fury that weakened him and made him turn, hand out- stretched, blindly seeking for a chair. Rage, even real anger, were emotions was a very tired and bored and burned- out gentleman, and vivid emotion was not geod for his arteries, the doctors told him. He found his chair, stood a moment with his back toward his wife, then very slowly let himself down into the chair and sat facing her. There was moisture on his soft, pallid skin, a nerv- ous twitching of the under lip; he passed one heavily ringed hand across his clesely shaven jaw, still staring at her. “T want to tell you something,” he safd. ‘You've got to stop your interfer- ence with my affairs, and stop it now.” ‘“T am not interested in your affairs,” she said unsteadily, still shaken by her own _revolt,: stili under the shock of her own arousing to a resistance that had been long, long overdue. “If you mean,” she went on, ‘“‘that the ruin of this boy is your affair, then I'll make it mine from this moment. I’ve told you that he shali not play; and he shall not. And while I'm about it I'll admit what you are preparing to accuse me of; I did make Sandon Craig promise to kcep away; I did try to make that little fool Scott Innis promise, too; and when he wouldn’t I informed his father. * * * And every time you try your. dirty bucketshop methods on boys like that, I’ll do the same.”’ He swore-at her quite calmly; she smiled, shrugged, and, imprisoning her knees in her clasped hands, leaned back and looked at him. ‘What a ninny I have been,” she said, ‘to be afraid of you so long!”’ A gleam crossed his faded eyes, but he let her remark pass for the moment. Then, when he was quite sure that vio- nt emotion had been exhausted within m: “Do you want our bills paid?’’ he asked. ‘‘Because, if you do, Fane, Har- mon & Ce. are not going to pay them.” ‘We are living beyond our means?’’ she inquired disdainfully. “Not if you will be good enough to mind your business, my friend.

Is that it, my friend?’ “I can afford you if you will stop your meddling,’’ he said coolly. “TIT see; I am to stop my meddling and you are to continue your downtown gambling in your own house in the evenings.”’ ‘Precisely.

r PET RG mks ar ae Nt: ek. a eee le Ys Powell Again Fails at End After Team Holds Lead for Most of Game. :

BEG WN "A EER > T til October 6. Cleveland is but a game behind the Browns and could pass them yet before . thé series is over tomorrow afternoon. As long as the Browns are forced to fight against Western clubs, they can- not hope to gain much headway. They have fought themy almost to a stand- still, but have not been equal to the task' of gaining on them. The pennant race will be decided on the results of the games that begin next week, when the Eastern teams come West for their final invasion. It’s the team that can stand up day after day during that time that will win out in the end. Cleveland outplayed the Browns yes- terday. The Naps hit better and field- ed better. They ran the bases better and they used better judgment on many plays. St.. Louis should have won out — oe ae eee the way, but big Jack Powell, who was doing the pitching forthe Browns, Was not equal to th k of restrain- ing the vicious attack Lajoie’s slug- gers’ through the entire contest and they banged home a victory by scor- ing four runs in the eighth inning. Pitchers Causing Disaster, The lack of strong, high-class pitch- ers, such as Christy Mathewson, Or- ville Overall, Mordecai Brown, Bill Donovan knd Ed Walsh, is what is keep- ing the Browns down. The defense is ndid and the offensive work ef the Louis team is equal to the task of winning a pennant. But McAleer has t not a remarkable pitcher on his staff Pi 4 though he has four or five good “Ones; they will not do on a club that is -“}umping against such heavy-hitting clubs as Detroit and Cleveland. But the fight is not settled by any means and there is time yet for the Browns to start a winning streak and break to the front. However, they can- not afford to drift with the current. The resource they have to fall back on a is their gameness and if they win | Be pennant Song must play beyond their - matural strength. Looks Good for Detroit. Detroit, with her present lead, should win out by simply playing up to her lar form from now to the end. The White Sox have a chance if they start one of théir remarkable streaks of win- ning on their home grounds. § Cleveland has a chance only by keeping her hit- “ters in working order. St. Louis hag a c are by sticking gamely to the end t

4d simply outgaming the opposing ms each day. It’s the possibilities of the race that keeps the fans all over the country on '-.@e@ge. In four cities now, the entire population is aroused over the chance to win a baseball nnant. When the Rrowns beat the Naps in the first game here, there was hardly a man that had an ounce of hope that the Naps would get back in the race. But they took ine next two from the Browns and now they are figuring how close they are to Detroit. ~+ Ench.Game Is Vital. __ EPvery game means so much these days _ that one cannot reasonably'predict any- thing.

Naturally; figuring on the loss of Clarence Kenney, Brad Robinson, Jack Schneider, Kinney and Orr, all stars last year, it would seem doubtful if Cochems would be able to build up an- other strong team, but he declares he will have a stronger team than iast year. Eddie Murphy, the quarterback of last year’s eleven, is already in St. Louis. Dave Lamb, a strong tackle: Frank Acker, his great halfback, and Cornell and Hughes of last year’s team linemen, are also ready for practice. Hawkins, who comes from the Cape Girardeau seems to have the essentials of a good shortstop. Mordecai Brown was on the firing line for Chicago. When that fs said, all is said, for the Cardinals will have to call for help before they can beat the three- fingered wonder. Brown was hit safely but six times, and the team behind him afforded him grand support. ¢ Konetchy again added to his laurels by driving ovt a home run to the bul- letin board. But aside from this effort, there was little to the game worth mentioning aside from the fact of the t. Louis catcher. At the same time he was spiked just below the knee, but that was not serious, as the skin was scarcely broken. Jimmy was unable to hobble about the hotel Tagt night, and Trainer Quirk gave him special attention. It is likely he will not Gatch another game for more than a week, and as yet the se- riousness of the injury cannot be ascer- feulty in hitting him at all, just as t*ey have against any good “spitball” Minger.

FRIDAY--ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—SEPTEMBER 11, 1908.

_ SCHWEITZER IS SHOWING WELL WITH THE BAT a i sa ~ Browns Outfielder Has .310 For His Average on 51 Games— Wagner Now King.

TATISTICAN George Moreland of Pittsburg tells a tale this week: that S should read well to Manager McAleer, while he is lying up in @ Cleve- Jand hotel, iil. Moreland’s averages for the present week show Criss of the Browns 1s still the leading batter of the league for 61 games in which he has participated to the extent of about one time at bat in each. Ty Cobb, who plays all the time, ts the real batting leader of the race, but Manager McAleer ts figuring that with another year’s experience, Al Schweitzer will make them all take notice. Just now Schweitzer,;who recently returned to _the gatne after a long absence, is batting .310, and 1s in fifth position below Criss. Schweitzer has played in 49 games and as he is the sort whose record improves instead of diminishes if he remains In the game, Tyrus will know he has been tu a race before he walks off with first place batting honors. Eleven men are over the .300 mark in the American League, the lowest be- ing Charile Hemphill, the only player McAleer let go to New York who was worth while, Hemphill is hitting .204 and has proved himself one ef the most serviceable outfielders of the season. Iu the National League are only five players over the .306 mark. They are Wagner, Zimmerman, Donlin, Evers and Bransfield. Wagner has left Donlin cumpletely behind in the matter of hitting and !s now topping the race with a percentage of .345, while Mike ts far back with .314 as his figures. Folluwing are the averages of the more important batters tn both leagues: AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTING AVERAGES. BY GEORGE L.

Keene shipped 20 yearlings to the early sales at New Market in June and lb more the ether day. The latter will be sold immediately after their arrival In Eng- land, and as they are briiiiantly bred, they should fetch goed prices.

He drove his great: man-made bird back and forth over the parade grounds at Fort Myer for an hour, five minutes and 42 seconds at an average speed of about thirty-six miles an hour and sur- . passed his phehomenal performance of Wednesday by three minutes and 29 seconds. As he took his seat in: front of the motor he told those around him that he would remain v> only an hour and five minutes. In order to know exactly when to descend he commissioned his assist- ant to climb to the roof of one of the cavairy barns to the left of the parade grounds and mark in big figures on the black surface cvery time five minutes had elapsed. Danger Was Only Apparent. The scheme worked like a charm. Wright had to spend the most strenuous hour of his career as an aeror-ut while he was up, but he stuck it out and came down in good order. Every army of- ficer and aero .ut who witnessed the feat declared there was no longer any doubt that he c uld remain aloft just as long as the gasoline in the tank of his ure garments. Rain Coats are here in the most liberal assort- ments we have ever shown Men’s $15 Fall Suits In style, smartness, character, thorough goodness and intrinsic value, nothing to equal them has ever been shown by this or any other St. Louis store at the beginning of a season. Over 60 styles are here for your choosing—every fabric, every new shade, color combination and novelty pattern—single and double breasted styles in the most correct models—al] the new fashion features, from the plain and genteel to the “freak styles with the extreme dip fronts, low lapels, fancy cuffs and nov- elty pockets.

The conditions were far more “sport. ”’ than those that ever attended the flights of any similar machine before and the darts, plunges and leaps of the aero- plane held the attention of the most hardened expert every moment of the flight. Several times it looked as if the machine would dip from above onto the starting derrick, but the skillful aviator would invariably guide safely to one side or the other or glide over It. “It was fine,” he said as he alighted at the conclusion: of the fifty-eighth round of the parade grounds. “Tl may have seemed to you fellows down here to be in danger but I never was. It was the greatest sport I have had since I have been working with air- ships. There was always plenty to do with the levers and the bending and swaying of the machine was simply great. It shows that the ship is steady and reliable when the wind blows, as well as when it is still. Got a Real Sensation. “Talk about sensations! Well, you will never know what one really is un- Vil you get up there and spurt around, fighting the currents or sailing with the breeze. I don’t know of better fun. But it was pretty cool, driving against a 10-mile breeze at the rate I was going and so high up this time of the year is chilly business.”’ A distinctive feature of the perform- ance was the great altittide at which the major part of the flight was made. Dur- ing the last 20 minutes Wright frequent- ly gent the big ship up to 200 feet ana On one round it was calculated that he Went as high as 250. As the twilight came on the wind ‘veered around to the northwest and the clever aviator had ample opportunity for displaying his absolute mastery of the wonderful craft. He would literally make it dance sideways, plunge down- ward like a “shoot the chutes” and up- Ward with the grace and ease of an eagle.. He came to earth with the pro- pellers working at full speed and slid along the ground fully 80 feet before coming to a stop. Official Trials Coming Later. The official trials will be held as soon as Mr. Wright announces his readiness. He will probably make preliminary flights for a week or more before he tests the aeroplane before the Army Board. He will endeavor to make + few short flights for speed today and may begin making flights with C. W. Fur- mise, his assistant, in order to practice for the official endurance trial, in which the aeroplane will have to .re- main in the air with two men one hour. A. M. Herring, whose aeroplane weighs only 20 pounds, is said to have asked the War Department to grant & two weeks’ extension of time in which to prepare for the tests, but no con- firmation of the report could be ob- tained. Officers on the Board of Aero- mauts said this morning that jn their _ opinion he would have to appear Mon- @ay or forfeit the $2000 he deposited when the contract with the Govern- ment was made. breasted models—just the sort of clothes that will appeal to nobby young chaps from 14 to 20 years of age—you will not gracefully and fit perfectly—unusually well tailored throughout — pants that are really worth $4.00— equal them anywhere under $15—Satur- day, choice of an extensive assortment for. 7.50 Saturday, as an introductory special, choice for sive assortment of novelty pattern effects.
