DAUGHTER OF SLAIN an TOLD UNTRUTR _ TO SHIELD MOTHER

Beulah Stagner Says She Testified Falsely atthe Inquest Into Father’s Death.

SUSPECTED MAN READY TO FACE ANY CHARGE

He Accuses Young Man Who Had Been At- tentive to Daughter of Farmer Killed From Ambush-- Wife Under of Dead Man Is Arrest.

By a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. BLODGETT, Mo., Sept. 19.—Beulah Stagner, the 15-year-old daughter of Morris Stagner, who was mysteriously murdered near here Tuesday night, told a Post-Dispatch reporter here today that she had not told the truth at the inquest and that she had been coached to falsify by her mother and William Miller. She says she falsified because she was afraid the truth would hurt her mother. Miller says he is innocent and is ready to face any charge that may be made against him in connection with the tragedy. “I didn’t tell the truth at the inquest,” said Beulah, “‘because I knew the truth would hurt my mother. But now I will because I bclieve I know who the mur- derer of m> father is.” At the ingques! the gir! testified that on the night of the murder her mother had gone to bed shortly after 8 o'clock. She also testified that she had never noticed any particular intimacy between her mother and Miller. “On the night my father was ‘mur- Gered,’’ the girl said today. “all of us children went to bed about 8 o'clock. I didn't go to sleep for an hour or s0, and mother was still up moving about her room. The next day when the Sheriff came out to the house my mother drew me aside and said, ‘Don't tell him anything you saw last night.’ “When they took mother away to Jail Mr. Miller brought us children over to his house. There he told me that they had found my mother's footprints in the cornfield leading to the road where father was shot. He asked me if I hadn't scen mother bringing water to father in the cornfield, I told him that I hadn't and that I would never say I had. All this summer whenever father Was away from home Mr. Miller came over to see mother. They had long talks together and .mother used to send us ehfidren away. ‘Last Monday morning Mr. Miller was at the house all morning with mother, Mr. Miller went to town with father - Tuesday night and instead of coming back with father he came back alone, an hour before father did." Sheriff Gover, who is at Benton, when told of Beulah Stagner’s statement this Morning over the telephone, said that he would come to Blodgett tmmediateiy ' for Miller, who is now at his home a mile north of Blodgett. “I am ready to face any charge,” Mil- ler said, ‘‘because I am innocent and be- cause I believe I know who did it.” Young Man In Accused. Miller accuses a young man who has been paying attention to Beulah Stag- mer. Miller says that Stagner was afraid of this man. Mrs. Stagner, who was seen in Jail at Benton by the Post-Dispatch reporter, miso accuses this same admirer of her daughter. Sheriff Gover, after an in- vestigation, has refused to place him under arrest. Stagner was found lying in the road a hundred yards from his home. The charge of buckshot and slugs which had instantly killed him entered his body on the right side and evidently was fired from that side of the road, which is skirted by the Stagner farm. The footprints of a woman and man were found close to where the body lay. Bloodhounds followed these foot- prints through the fence bordering. the cornfield, through the field and to the Stagner home. At the inquest Mrs. Stagner explained this by saying that on Sunday morning she and her husband had walked to a melon patch in the cornfield and then had climbed the fence into the road. When she was asked in Jail by the Post-Dispatch reporter how she and her husband happened to leave the corn- field exactly at the point where her hus- band’s body was found two days later, she said: “I don’t know anything about that. I don’t know where my husbani was found. I didn’t go out to see him when I heard he was dead.’’ Stagner came to his death between 10 and 10:30 Tuesday night, as was testi- fied at the inquest by those living in the neighborhood who heard the shot. Mrs. Stagner says she had gone to bed at 8 Pp. m. and did not leave her bed till morning. This assertion; which her daughter Beulah corroborated at the in- quest, has now been denied by Beulah. Miller says he came to his home, which is a quarter of a mile from the Stagner home, at 9 p. m., that he went to bed and to sleep soon afterwards. He says he did not hear the shet. Mrs. Miller says the shot woke her up and that her husband was in his bed asleep at the time. Miller and Stagner were first cousins, with adjoining farms, and they helped each other and were much together, “He was my best friend,’’ said Miller, ‘‘and I was his best friend. 1 have been loaning him money lately, as he was in difficulty.”’ Miller denied that Stagner had ever accused him of being too friendly with Mrs. Stagner. She also denied ever hav- ing trouble with her husband about Mil- ler.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THE CONDUCTOR GAVE YOU FOR CHANGE A J. BEOGS CHECK? If you gave a street car conductor a $% bill and in return he gave you a John Beggs check instead of real money, Wouldn't it curl the feathers on your new fall hat? Especially if you couln't eash the check downtown and you had to pay another fare to go to the com- pany's office for your money. This is what is being done in Mil- waukee on orders from John I. Beggs, managing director of the North Ameri- can Co., which owns the street railway lines both in Milwaukee and St. Louis. The new system, according to press Gispatches, has just been put into ef- fect, and if it works well in Milwaukee it may be tried in St. Louis. _ When 4 passenger gives the conductor &@ % bill, the Conductor doesn’t fret and fume and order the passenger off the ar if he can’t make change. He smil- ingly takes the money and hands the “passenger a check for $4.95, payable at the office of the company’s cashier. _ ‘WPheoretically conductors are supposed 2 to carry enough change to “break” a _ bill of any size, but often they do not

The Rev. Theodore Oberhellman of 1910 Newhous® avenue, pastcr of the German Evangelical Friedens Church, now knows that it can’t be done, He was one of a party which went fishing Friday at Alton Slough, near Alton, where he was formerly pastor of a church. After waiting long and patiently for a bite he got one. “I think it’s a very large fish,”’ he said with ministerial conservatism, as his cork went under. The line pulled taut. “Yes, a very large one, I am quite sure,” said the preacher. There was another yank and Pastor Oberhellman went over the side of the boat. The fish had pulled him into the lake. W. F. Hoppe and other members of th party rescued him and gave chase to the pole, which was skimming along the water as though it had a4 motor attached to it, They landed the big fish. Pastor Oberhellman was as proud of it as if he hadn't got a ducking.

HADLEY WANTS PUBLICITY FOR LUWnERD FUND Candidate for Governor Asks Opponent to Tell About Primary Expenses.

MONEY USED Republican Says Kansas City Man Is Beneficiary of Ballot Frauds. IN CITY From a Staff Correspondert Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mo. his opening campaign of the 19.—In Speech here to- Hadley, Re- publican candidate for Governor, called S. Cowherd, cratic opponent, Sept. day Attorney-General upon William Demo- to make public the campaign contributions that enabled him to win the gubernational nomina- tion over the field of candidates. Mr Hadley was introduced by United States Senator William Warner, who presided at the meeting. The rail- roads refused to run special trains for the occasion and the crowd was com- posed for the most part of Springfield people. Besides Attorney-General Had- ley the following candidates for state offices were present: W. W. Wilder. candidate for railroad commissioner: J. G. Argus, for supreme judge; John E. Swanger, secretary of State and Jesse Tallerton, for auditor. Defies Saloon Element. Mr. Hadley charged that the public service corporations of St. Louis and the lawless saloon element. which has been held in subjection by Gov. Folk, had lent material aid to the Cowherd candidacy and were support- ing him in the campaign. “There is nothing that Mr. could say that would men that they are making a mistake in supporting him, and nothing that lI could say that would win for me their approval,’ said Mr. Hadley in speaking of the lawless saloon-keepers. Wants no Saloon Aid. “But! I want neither their approval nor their votes, for I have no favors to give those who violate the law. Y here and now declare unrelenting opposition to the Jawless saloon-keeper who seeks to nominate and elect our public offt- cials for his own protection.’’ Regarding campaign contributions Mr. Hadley said: *“‘There is another question that I should be glad to have Mr. Cow- herd and his friends enlighten the peo- ple of Missouri about. Mr. Cowherd in his Cowherd convince these His campaign is loud in his praise of Wil- liam J. Bryan and the national Demo- cratic platform. “But up. to the present time I fail to note wherein he has mentioned that plank of the Democratic platform which declares in favor of the publicity of campaign contributions, and a careful reading of the Democratic State plat- form, in the preparation of which Mr. Cowherd actively participated, fails to disclose any mention of this interesting subject. “T should like to know where Mr. Cow- herd stands upon this question. Is he in favor of the publicity of campaign cen- tributions in the nation alone, and not in the State? Is he in favor of the publici- ty of campaign contributions at an elec- tion and not in favor of those which are used to gain a nomination? Asks for Publicity. “If he is in favor of the publicity of all campaign contributions i suggest that he make public the names of the men who subscribed the $35,000 which Lawler P. Daley, the chairman of the Democratic City Central Committee of St. Louis. says he knows was used in Mr, Cowherd's interest in the City of St. Louis. “I do not ask Mr. Cowherd to make public all the money that was used in his favor throughout the State. I only ask fhat he cause tne publication of the contributions made for him In St. Louis and the manner in which those contribu- tions were expended. Let him tell .the people how much was subscribed by the representatives of public service corpo- rations. “Let him tell you how much was sub- scribed by those saloons and liquor in- terests which have violated the law in the past and hope, in case of his elec- tion, to violate the law in the future. If Mr. Cowherd is not in possession of this information, I ask him to call upon his campaign managers in St. Louis to inake this information public.” Quote: Folk. Mr. Hadley quoted Gov. Folk's caustic criticism of former Democratic adminis- trations and demanded to know whether Cowherd was standing with the Folk Democracy or the “Old Guard” in this fight. “If there is aught in the public rec- ord of Mr. Cowherd during the 14 years that he drew an official salary that would give the people. of Missouri rea- son to believe that Mr. Cowherd would, Prevent a return to the conditions that Stone, Stephens and Dockery could neither prevent nor correct, I will be very glad indeed if that evidence can be submitted to the people of Missouri,” he said. Mr. Hadley declared that Mr. Cowherd had surrounded himself with members of the “Old Guard” in.s ~*ing his cam- paign for the nomination. He then call- ed attention to the ballot box stuffing in St. Louis, to the bribery of public

eee, Committee of House Holding Measure Refuses Hearing on Amendments.

Two million dollars a the year ig the Laclede Gas Light Co. will gain and the public lose by the refusal of the House of Delegates to amount which pass the natural gas bill. according to figures compiled after investigation by J. F. O. Reller of the North St. Business Men's Association. This is the sum, Mr. Reller says, the people would save by cutting the price of the gas they consume from the pres- ent average of 95 cents a thousand cubic feet, to 35 cents, as provided in the measure now being held without ex- planation by the Public Improvements Committee ef the House, This argument was made by Mr. Reller to members of the committee, Friday night, when he, Dr. William H. Cotton af the Million Club, Ford Smitn of the Million Club and N. P. Zimmer of the Southwestern Mercantile Association appeared to submit amendments to the natural gas Dill. Friends of the natural gas bill hoped that the committee would report it Fri- day night so that some action might be taken upon the measure, but they were Gisappointed. No Public Hearing. Chairman W. J. Brennan of the com- mittee told a Post-Dispatch reporter after the meeting Friday night that he and his associates would study the amendments offered, but would grant no public hearing on them. Neither would Brennan promise to report the bill next Friday. Mr. Reller said that most of the com- Louis mitteemen expressed themselves as. will-. ing to accept the amendments which were drawn at a meeting of the United Natural Gas Committee Thursday night. The United Committee, representing about 20 mercantile, civic and indus- trial organizations, has taken members of the Public Improvements Committee at their word by suggesting in the present bill sueh alterations as the Delegates have been quoted as favor- ing. The first of these amendments is one requiring the seekers of the franchise to file a bond of $250,000 within 30 days after the passage of the ordinance, in- stead of six months later as the bill now permits. “May” to “Shall.” The furnishing of natural gas has also been made mandatory under the bill through changing the word “may’’ to ‘shail’ wherever it appears in that connection, A clause stipulating that the fran- chise must not be sold or transferred has also been incorporated in the bill. The supplying of industrial gas is left to the option of the new company, so that private consumers may have the first benefit of whatever quantity fs piped to St. Louis. To insure the regulation of the com- pany’s rates and service, the body of the “Cooper Act” has been added as a new section of the bill. As the fran- chise wil] be virtually a contract, the inclusion of the text of the Cooper Act will make regulation one of the con- ditions under which the ordinance fs passed and accepted. —_- THE RAIN DIDN'T RAIN, BUT THERE I$ COMFORT FOUND IN WEATHER THAT’S NO WARMER oo a Ay RES.

Edward Lees, a (“hicago widower, at present in Guadala- jara, Mexico, makes the request in a petition filed yesterday. Mrs. Marie Grace Lees, his daughter-in-law, who is now with him, is the person whom the petitioner would legally place on the same footing at law as though she was his own child. The court action becomes necessary in order that an insurance policy which Lees has carried for years on his life will not become worthless.

Monnett, according to Columbus dispatches, denounced both Foraker and Haskell, and named the latter, as did Hearst in his Odeon speech, as one of ned! men who had part in the bribery negotiations. bribe, Monnett said, was $400,000, and for it he was to drop the suits against He refused, but after his term of office the suits were dropped. _ The amount of the proffered — he could see me.

I do not know that these transactions can be considered together, but it is very sig- nificant that such large fees should be paid to Senator Foraker immediately after the cases are dismissed in court.’”’ “Do you owe to Senator Foraker the fact that you were turned down for a renomination?’’ Mr. Monett was asked. “Yes, I do. If I had acquiesced to his demands I would have been renomi- nated and-elected. Senator Foraker put me in the Attorney-General's office and he took me. out. Within two weeks after I was out of office, 28 trust suits were dismissed in the Supreme Court of Ohio.”’ , Mr. Monnett said that with Senator Foraker in the work of trying to have the ouster suits dismissed several prom- inent Columbus business men made sev- eral visits to his house in an effort to have him drop the suits, one of these men being a former private sec- retary to Foraker when he was Gover- nor of Ohio. ee bebe Says Draft Was Returned ( CINCINNATI, Sept. 19.—The draft for ' $50,000 mentioned in the John D. Arch- bold letter made public last night in St. Louis by William R. Hearst was re- ceived by Senator Foraker as part of: the purchase money in an unsuccessful deal for the ownership of the Ohio State Journal, at Columbus. On the failure’ of the ettempt to buy that paper the draft was returned and the incident was forgotten, according to a statement giv- en to the Associated Press by the Sena-. tor here today. Senator Foraker declares in his state- ment that no one at any time ever paid him a cent or even suggested any such payment in consideration cf anything he might do as a public man. Abe * The statement is as foliows: “The production by Mr. Hearst of th letter of f!tr. Archbold to me dated Jan. 29, 1902, « ‘erring to a certificate of de- posit incl4 ied for $50,000 and expressing the hope that the transaction may. be safely concluded, illustratcs how unre- liable is the memory and how easily ap- pearances may deceive. “When I first read the letter I could not recall that I had ever received any such Jetter or any such certificate. I at once called up my house In Washington, where my letters of that date are on file, and had a search made. With the re- sult that a proposed transaction was recalled that had gone entirely out of my mind. “& friend of mine—a newspaper man— informed me that he held an option on the Ohio State Journal, to purchase it, according to my present recollection, for $135,000. He was able himself to ad- Vance but a small amount of this pur- chase price. He applied to me to help him. I did not have enough money to be of material assistance, but for the gake of having the paper in friendly hands, I was willing to advance a part of it. I applied to a number of friends to gc» if they would not make up the balance of the amount. Among others, I applied to the Standar.. O11 company. They first agreed to loan to the news- paper company when purchased and re- organized $35,000, according to my pres- ent recollection, the same to be secured by stock of the newspaper company. “Somebody ‘who was expected to go into the enterprise dropped out and that made it necessary for all the others to’ {ucrease the amounts they were pro- posing to advance. At the request of ‘my friend, I asked the different parties -to Increase their advances and thereupon the Standard Oil Co. did accordingly in- crease their amount from $35,000 to $50,- 000 and sent me the letter with certificate inclosed as stated. “It was thought at that time the transaction would be immediately closed, but there was a delay of a few Gays and at the end of that delay the whole transaction fell through and the money advanced was returned.” “I do not remember to have received the letter relating to the bill introduc- ed by Senator Jones of Arkansas; but whether I received such a letter er/not, - ft had no reference to any employment - of any kind from the Standard Oil company or anybody else, nor did the letters about Smith Bennett and Judge Burkett read by Mr. Hearst at Colum- bus have any reference to any employ- “I favored the nomination of Mr, tt, notwithstanding Mr. Arch- ‘s objection to him, and would ave favored Judge Burkett's nomina- if I had not heard from Mr. old, can only repeat that the only em- ent I ever had by the Standard Oll Co. was as set forth in my state- coun, published yesterday, as advisory > pea with respect to their affairs In Ne Standard Ojl Ald, Says Bryan.

Hearst Reads More Mr. Hearst appeared Friday night at the Odeon before an’ audience of 1500, most of whom seemed to have been brought by curiosity. They paid close attention to the speaker, but showed little enthusiasm, most of the hearers being apparently indifferent. In the early part of his -speech Mr. Hearst referred to the Archbold-Foraker let- ters. | “‘Remember,’’ Mr. Hearst enjoined his audience, ‘‘remember that Senator For- aker, in answering the letters I read last night at Columbus, said that his employment by the Standard Oil Co had no reference to anything pending in Congress, but was only in the Ohio courts and the Legislature. “Then ‘isten to this,’’ and he unfold- ed a letter. | “Twenty-six Broadway,” Hearst, in high, throaty tones, and paused while the audience, tickled by the Lawsonesque sound of the familiar number, enjoyed the first hearty laugh of the evening. Letter Refers to Bill. “Feb. 25, 1902,’’ the reader continued. “Honorable J. B. Foraker, Washing- ton, D. C.: My Dear Senator: I venture to write you a word regarding the bill introduced by Senator Jones of Arkan- sas;"knoWn as ‘S* 649, MHitended to amend the act “to” protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraint and monopo- lies,’ introduced by him Dec. 4. began Mr. Pb egt-really seems “a® though: this bill ‘Was very unnecessarily seyere and even vicious. “Ts it not much better to test the ap- plication of the Sherman act before re- sorting to a measure ot this kind? I hope you will feel so about it, and I will be greatly pleased to have a word from you on the subject. “This bill is, I believe, still in com- mittee. With kind regards I am very truly yours, “INO. D. ARCHBOLD.” Pausing, the speaker looked trium- -phantly over the parquet and demand- ed: : ‘“‘Was that a matter in the Ohio courts For, the Legislature of Ohio? Was Sen- ator Jones introducing legislation in Ohio? Or is that bill, ‘S. 649," as Mr. Archbold calls it, a bill in the Senate of the United States, which Standard Oil was striving to defeat through the services of its paid servant, Senator Foraker? Time for More Explaining. ‘Tt is time for the Senator to do some more explaining. His explanation may do very well for the letters I read in Columbus last night, but it will not do for these letters,’””’ and hearst tapped the letter he had just read and another, dated a month before, which he also read. The other letter, also with the % Broadway date, was four weeks earlier and Hearst called attention to this fact, saying he did not wish to be unfair by making it appear that the $60,000 pay- ment it spoke of was in payment for opposition to the Jones measure. The shorter and earlier letter read: “Jan. 27, 1902.—-Hon. J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C.: My Dear Senator— Responding to your favor of the 25th, it gives me pleasure to hand you here- with certificate of deposit $50,000, in accordance with our understanding. Your letter states the conditions cor- rectiy and I trust the transaction will be successfully consummated. Very truly yours. JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.” Might Have Made Denial. | “Senator Foraker’s statement,” ‘said Hearst, referring to the Senator’s de- fense, published in Friday’s Post-n's-. patch, “is based on the letters I read at Columbus last night. If he had seen these letters he wouldn’t have made it. He would have done like Mr. Sibley and denied everything. He would have done like Mr. Arch and denied everything. He would nave done like } Mr. kell and denied everything. He would have done like Mr. Bryan denied everything.” oe Hearst's attack on Foraker in his ¥ri- day night speech tollowed an equally severe mane ogee of Charlies N.

Squires, of trying to puy him off, with an enormous Standard Oil bribe, from the performance of his duty. What They “Got Out of It,” “Squires has told what he got out of his action. He says the life insurance company in which he was interested was reorganized, with himself as presi- dent and Frank Rockefeller as one of the directors, ana that that was enough for him. “And what did Charles N. Haskell get out of it? Why, the chairmanship of the Platform Committee of the Demo- cratic National Convention and _ the treasurership of the National Committee. “There in the front ranks to lead the Democratic hosts te victory was placed C. N. Haskell, along with those other self-sacrificing patriots, those other martyrs to principal, Roger Sullivan, Tom Taggart, Charles Murphy and Pat McCarren.”’ Hearst's talent for epigram was exer- cised in his descriptions of William J. Bryan. ‘“‘He is the showman at the county fair,’’ said the speaker. ‘‘Where is thé little ball of free silver? Under the first shell? No; and the confiding voter loses. Sees Bryan as a Showman. “Where is the little ball of public own- ership? Under the second shell? No; and the ¢onfiding voter loses again. Where is the little ball of referendum? Under the third shell? No; and the voter loses again. “But he is more than the showman; he is the whole show. He is the aston- ishing ventriloquist who throws his voice first here, then there, while all the time he is somewhere else. “He is the marvelous contortionist who bends forward and backward and walks on his hands as readily as on his feet. “He is the juggler who balances Bel- mont, hand, and Gompers on the other. “He is the swallower of glass and nails, who can digest even Tom Tag: gart. He is the loose-skin man, who re- verses himself in his own integument so that you cannot tell whether, he is coming or going.’”’ Hearst then told of his own support of Bryan in two campaigns, the first time at heavy financial loss, but denied that Bryan’s opposition to him in 1904 was his reason for fighting Bryan now. Attacked Both Parties. He attacked both parties, giving more individual attention to the leaders of Democracy, and alluded to mysterious Democratic campaign funds, said by Chairman Mack to have been left over from the 1904 campaign. “And the whole country roared with laughter,” said Hearst, ‘at the idea that anything could be left over from a campaign which Tom Taggart con- ducted.” As Hearst hurried from the Odeon after his speech to take a train for Memphis, with a third or more of the crowd following him out, Thomas lL. Hisgen, the Independence party can- didate for President, began an address. After considerable preliminary apology for his lack of stage grace, he told the story of his fight, as an independent oil man, against Standard Oil. Dr. Howard 8. Taylor of Chicago was the last speaker and addressed a rem- nant-of the audience. Among those in the audience were Isaac H. Lionberger, Arthur Shepley, Sig oe H. Hughes and Henry Fair- ack.

officials, to the collection of campaign contributions from corporations to be repaid in official favors, to the use of the police in politics, and inquired if the people wanted to go back to those conditions. “If you do you can rally around that flag with Mr. Cowherd and those who stole the nomination for him in St. Louis and Kansas City,’ he added. Mr. Hadley said that he did not make the charge that Mr. Cowherd’s nomina- tion was stolen for him, but that David A. Ball, his principal opponent, did.” “If it is true, as charged by Mr. Ball, that he was robbed of the nomination, the beneficiary of that robbery was Mr. Cowherd, who thus stands before the people of Missouri in this campaign charged by his principal opponent with being the receiver of a stolen nomina- tion,”’ said the speaker. ‘“‘Although Mr. Ball and Judge Wallace may not openly oppose the election of Mr. Cowherd, they never have and they never will tell the people of Missouri that Mr. Cowherd was the honestly nominated candidate of the Democratic party.’’ The record of Mr. Cowherd while he was Mayor of Kansas City was also at- tacked by Mr. Hadley. ‘“‘As Mayor of Kansas City he appoint- ed a North End saloon keeper, the Re- publican boss of the Second Ward, as Superintendent of Streets, one of the most important positions in the city gov- ernment,” said Mr. Hadley, “A few months after the expiration of Mr. Cow- herd’s term of office he was called upon to defend his Superintendent of Streets uponghe charre of ballot-box stuffing. A number of other appointees of Mr. Cowherd’s administration participated in election frauds in Kansas City at that time which have never been equaled in the history of election crimes in Mis- souri.’”’ Wants Cowherd to Explain. Mr. Hadley reviewed his own record as Attorney-General and the record of other Republican State officials. He de- clared that he yould not, under any con- sideration, accept a tainted election to the governorship, and that he would re- fuse to take his seat if it should be charged that- he had been elected by fraud. A large part of his speech was devoted to Mr. Cowherd and Democratic admin- istrations prior to Folk’s election. He said that Cowherd’s stand on the home rule question was an insult to the intel- ligence of the people.of the cities. He then denounced the management of po- lice and election departments under Stephens and Dockery and demanded that Cowherd either repudiate Dockery and Stephens or repudiate Folk so that the people might know clearly how he stands on this important cuestion.

SEVEN ALTON CLUBWOMEN WORRIED BECAUSE EIGHT BALLOTS WERE COUNTED Each Denies Being Guilty of Sole- cism of Voting Twice at Once. How seven Alton society women could cast eight votes is the mystery that wor- ries the members of the Jour de Fete Club, most of whose members live on Prospect street, Alton’s fashionable cen- ter. Each of the seven is sure she was not the one who, in,a moment of forgetful- ness, wrote two votes instead of one and dropped them in the shoe box placed on the center table of Mrs. Ed Lock’s home at Lock Haven as a ballot box. The Jour de Fete Club, whose presi- dent, Mrs. Lock, was the only member living outside Alton, went to her Lock Haven home Friday afternoon to hold its annual business meeting and election, ant to celebrate Mrs. Lock’s birthday. Mrs. Lock, as president, was not sup- posed to have a vote. There were only seven others present. Yet eight votes were found in the box. “I didn’t vote,’’ declared Mrs. Lock. “IT only voted once,’’ came in chorus from all the others. Yet there were two, four, six, eight slips of paper. “IT hereby declare this ballot void,’ said Mrs. Lock sternly. ‘‘The secretary will take another.”’ Mre. A. F. Williams, the secretary, watched each vote closely to see that it was only one vote, and only seven slips of paper were found in the box. The balloting was then continued until the three officers of the club had been chosen. They were: President, Mrs. A, Hi. Wuerker; vice-president, Mrs. H. J. Klunk; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Morrissey. The other members besides those men- tioned, are Mrs. Bertha Bertman, Mrs. Waldo Fisher, Mrs. Joseph Steiner and Misses Mamie Kuhn and Mollie Althoff. RUSTIN CASE I$ CONTINUED Mrs. Rice and Davis Not Required to Answer Questions. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 19.—When Mrs. Abbie B.* Rice and Charles Edward Davis were brought before Judge Sutton teday in the District Court to answer certain questions to be propounded at the instance of insurance companies which had policies on the life of Fred- erick T. Rustin, the case was continued to Sept. 26, on motion of the counsel for the defense. In making the motion for a cintinuance counsel stated that to require the wit- nesses to reply to questions at this time would be prejudicial to the preliminary hearing which is set for next Thursday. Mrs. Rice was in court for a few min- utes, but was not placed on the stand. Davis did not appear in person, but was represented by counsel.

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—William J. Bryan, for the first time in this cam- paign, submtted to an extended inter- view here, answering a list of questions put to him/by a Post-Dispatch reporter. The most important of these dealt with his claim of being the heir to Mr. Roose- velt’s policies and his refusal to attack the President in the West, where the “big stick” is very strong. On this subject Mr. Bryan said, carefully dictat- ing his remarks: “There is a great deal of confusion as to Mr. Roosevelt's policies. A distinc- tion ought to be drawn between his popular policies and his unpopular poli- cies. You cannot cover both kinds of | policies in the same language. “Some of Mr. Roosevelt's policies are popular in the West; some are unpopu- lar. The popular ones are those that have been borrowed from the Democratic party and the unpopular ones are those upon which the Republican party has a patent. “T have criticised Mr. Roosevelt where I thought he was wro have com- mended him where I thought he was right, and I have done this without waiting to see whether his actions were popular or not. Doesn’t Indorse Roosevelt. “fT have never indorsed Mr. Roosevelt, but I have indorsed things that he has said and things that he has done. I have been specific in both my indorse- ments and my criticisms.” Reverting to the progress of his cam- paign, Mr. Bryan was asked what dif- ference he noticed between his recep- tions now in the West and those of 1896 and 1900, when it was the “enemy’s country.” “I think there has been a very per- ceptible change in this respect," replied the presidential candidate. ‘‘There is none of the feeling of hostility to the Democratic platform or the feeling of fear that a Democraltic victory would be followed by a business depression. “T never felt that the fear was justi- fied in previous campaigns, and the pan- fe of last fall has completely disposed of the pet theory of Republican ora- tors and editors that the Republican party could guarantee prosperity. “We have specified what we think ought to be done, and I am satisfied that no legitimate interest feels that {t will be menaced or jeopardized by Demo- cratic success. Our platform has the advantage of clearly outlining what is to be expected as the result of Democrat- fe victory. Call, Republicans Evasive. “The Republican platform is so am- biguous, uncertain and evasive that no One can tell what interpretation will be placed upon it by the President, if the Republicans win, or whether Congress will agree with his interpretations.”’ Mr. Bryan was cautious and conserva- tive regarding his chances of success; refusing to name states or to give fig- ures or even positive claims. He said: “I think it can be safely stated that the changes being made from one side to the other show a net gain to our party in all parts of the country—that is, the tidal wave, so to speak, is run- ning in our favor. In some places the accessions to our party are more nu- Mmerous than in other parts, but every- where the trend is toward the Demo- cratic party. I am not in a position te discuss relative gains in different localities or to estimate the total change.” Concerning the support being given him by organized labor, Mr. Bryan said: “As far as I am able to learn, the labor sentiment is with the Democratic party by a large preponderance, and ‘that regardless of locality. I think it is attributable to several things. “First, to the record of the Republican party on labor questions. Second, to the fellure of its platform to cover those questions. Third, to the labor planks of cur platform. Fourth, to the fact that the whole tenor of our platform is satisfactory because it takes the side of the masses on the questions discussed.” Democrats to Bring Harmony. “Would not the fulfillment of the Dem- ocfatic platform widen the breach be- tween capital and labor?” was, aaked. “No,"’ emphatically replied Mr. Bry- en. “The effects of the immediate legis- lation proposed by the Democrats will be to bring labor and capital into harmon- fous co-operation. I think the capitalist, if he will take a far-sighted view of his own interest, will see that permanent prosperity is only possible when there are harmonious relations between labor and capital, and that harmonious rela- tions are only possible when there is justice between employer and employe. Cur platform asks for nothing more than simple justice.” To questions regarding campaign con- tributions Mr. Bryan Steel Corporation had as much right t CHimbs te the Roof. She failed to strike terror in\ the breasts of the three burglars. They went dround to the rear door and tried it. Then they raised a ladder to the back porch and one, a dark man, with curly hair and wearing a blue shirt, climbed to the roof of the porch. “Come on up, fellows,” he said, ‘‘it’s all right.”’ The three young women, who were watching him from an open window, overlooking the porch, screamed. The burglars fled and neighbors pursued them. This happened at 11:30 p. m. Thursday. No report was made to the police, but word of the affair reached them indi- rectly and they investigated Friday nig ht, 2-CENT PASSENGER LAW IS BLAMED-FOR WABASH LOSS Reduced Freight Rates Helped $1,- 000,000 Decrease—Delano Also Says Panic Hurt. The reduced freight rate law and the two-cent passenger? law are blamed by President Delano of the Wabash Rail- road for a decrease of nearly $1,000,000 in the road’s net earnings for the fiscal year, which ended June 30, according to the annual report of the president and directors, just issued. The year before the net earnings of the road were $7,853,747, and the past year they dropped to $6,866,504.56. Mr. Delano blames the panic to some extent, but says that the main trouble with earnings is attributable to the rate laws. While the number of passengers did increase 10 per cent after the two-cent rate went into operation, he says, the net revenue from passenger service fell off 7 per cent.

THE ARCHBOLD-FORAKER LETTERS. The publication of the Archbold letters to Sen- ator Foraker is a blow to the Republican cause and a severe reflection upon that representative of Republican principles. But there is nothing in the letters inconsistent with the nature of the policy of special privilege which the Republican party has made its own. Indeed, they proceed not from abuses of a sys- tem wholesome and beneficial] in itself, but from vices inherent in the system of favoritism and one-sided and partial paternalism. A party that commits itself to such a policy must inevitably fall a victim to scandals arising out of the strug- gle for favors, struggles which give birth to double dealing, chicanery and flat bribery. This is not the first case in point. Yesterday it was Senator Bailey. Today it is Senator For- aker. Tomorrow it will be another. Whether the charges are true or false, whether or not Bailey and Foraker wandered from the straight path of public duty, it is admitted that Bailey’s reputa- tion did not escape with a whole skin, and For- aker will have to do a deal of explaining to make people believe he is entirely a victim of circum- stances. His right to practice law in the Ohio courts and even act as a “legislative agent” be- fore committees of the Ohio Legislature, is not questioned, but if his clients are beggars in the lobbies of the United States Senate it will not be easy for the plain man of the proverb to distin- guish between Lawyer Foraker of Ohio and Sen- ator Foraker of Ohio. And neither Mr. Foraker nor any other man in such circumstances can say that in performing his duties as Senator he is not influenced consciously or unconsciously by his personal or professional obligations to his clients outside, whenever they appear before Congress asking alms. And if he slips into the mire he can * blame nobody but himself and the vicious system of favoritism and special privilege, which must, in its very nature, weave a web of temptation about every public min. The only way out is a total repudiation and abandonment of the whole scheme and policy of favoritism. “Equal rights to all; special privi- fegés to none.” This Jeffersonian maxim is the only sound foundation for political policy, and @véry departure from it is sure to induce scandal and ruin. Mr. Foraker testifies that -the transaction was merely personal and professional and had no connection whatever with his congressional du- ties. We hope he can make good his defense and scve his own reputation, but the letter of Jan. 27, 1902, seems to give the lie to his protestations. But whatever happens to him, these letters wit- ness to the pernicious activity of special interests in politics. And Mr. Foraker’s party will have to bear the blame for the corruption thence en- SIX FOR A QUARTER. The United Railways management have wisely taken the precaution to publish in all the newspa- pers full and explicit instructions with regard to the operation of its pay-as-you-enter cars, so that the delay and inconvenience usually attending the inauguration of a new system shall be reduced to a minimum. But the pay-as-you-enter system is designed to benefit the railway company, not the public. Its prime purpose is to assure the collec- tion of every fare, regardless of its effect upon the comfort and convenience of the public. In order to ease the working of the system and reduce the delays to a minimum, the company asks the peo- ple using the cars to provide themselves with nickels; in short, to get before entering the cars the small change hitherto provided by conductors. The company wants the public to take upon Itself the burden of providing change. In view of the fact that the railway company asks the public to put up with some delay and in- convenience and to assume some of the burden of its new system for the collection of all fares, we ask the company, in a spirit of sweet reasonable- ness, would it not be fair to make some conces- sion to the public? Would it not be fair to help the public to co-operate with the company in pro- viding ready fares by selling tickets at a slightly reduced rate? If the United Railways Co. would sell six tick- ets for 25 cents, it would offer the public an in- ducement to provide ready fares for the conduc- tors. It would be a fair concession to the public for, not merely submitting to inconvenience, but co-operating with it for the company’s benefit. The policy of concession is fair and wise and, in the long run, is profitable. As a matter of fact, by selling tickets at a slightly reduced rate, whether pay-as-you-enter cars are used or not, the company would proba- bly make money. The fare money would go di- rectly to the company in considerable sums. The losses of tickets would fall on the public, not on ‘the company. There is no possibility of graft in ticket fares. The United Railways would exhibit a spirit of fairness and would gain public good will by in- augurating its pay-as-you-enter cars with a small concession on rates—six tickets for a quarter. __ _ OO o——_ And it was only the other day that Brother Taft was warmly shaking hands with Brother For- aker! ip i, i '-—- FF OUR GIRLS NEED NOT MARRY LORDS. The Philadelphia girl who went through what she thought was a mock marriage ceremony in order to escape compulsory marriage with a noble duke from across the water is a good Amer- ican, but. she need not have resorted to such a strategem. Not only did she have difficulty “dissdlving the mock marriage, but she produced a sensation which cannot but be unpleasant to any lady of sensibility who shuns anything like publicity of the sort called notoriety. . When an American girl is threatened with com- pulsory marriage to a noble lord she should meet the situation quietly, but firmly, and. say “I won't.” This, it is said, comes naturally to women’s lips and it ought to be serviceable to protect her from the entire Almanach de Gotha. No genuine lord would decline to accept a rebuff so blunt.

The only general principle which we think will be deduced with any degree of certainty is that the crime of kissing a maid over her protest should never be committed save by a sincere young man who is convinced of the insincerity of the protest and is willing to plead guilty and take a life sentence for his crime.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE ) Safety Signals Needed. fo the Editor of tne Post-Dispatch, The United Railways Co. seems to have money to sbend for saving to themselves nickels, as is evi- denced by the pay-as-you-enter platforms, but not l cent to save the lives of passengers who alignt from their cars and desiring to cross the street be- hind the car from which they have aughted and hav- ing no notice as they should have of approaching danger, are struck and instantly killed, as was the case with young Gorges, a victim on the Tower Grove division last week, and now a man by the name of Joseph Sommers was knocked down and al- most instantly killed last evening in the same man- ner by a Cherokee car. If the city government would require that rear-end signals be displayed as provided in a bill prepared by Mr. Cramer of the City Council the patrons of the street car lines could have some protection against these dreadful acci- dents. A PATRON.

Opportunities in a New Town. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Having noticed inquiries in your personal columns ‘for business locations, I want to mention the town of Bellflower, Mo., a new town on the Burlington, between St. Louis and Mexico, surrounded by ideal farming country, with ten or twelve ctores dofng a good business, and not a milliner nor a dressmaker of any kind or description in the town. I visited there recently and more than one lady said: “For heaven's sake, send us a dressmgker of any kind.” Another thing needed is laboring people, laundresses, etc. There are only about three colored people in the town and they cannot do one-tenth of the work of this kind that is offered. What will appeal to any liberty-loving man or woman. is the unequaled oppor- tunity to get ahead, regain their standing in the com- munity and thus renew their confidence in the future, I only wish that some of the numerous struggling | people in St. Louis could go to this town and begin life over. HUMANITY. What Befell the Kittens. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reference to an incident which occurred recently I beg leave to say to our friends who dropped these little innocent kitties that they surely did not think twice. The kittens came to find a home at my broth- er’s home, being the first one they came to and they were kindly treated except by brother’s dog, and he didn't understand the sad predicament of the kit- tens and immediately pounced upon the nicest one and in spite of our united efforts killed it brutally, which caused a commotion, to the annoyance of the prostrate wife of my brother and the whole house- hold. I kindly suggest you would not drop kittens on unsuspecting persons and thereby d@iscommode them, but purchase a nickel’s worth of chlorofor give the kittens some milk and place them in a pox. Pour the chloroform in a cloth and cover up and send them mercifully out of everyone’s way, FRIEND TO DUMB ANIMALS. “Foreigners” Made America. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Answering the letter referring to the Greeks and signed ‘“‘Qld Citizen,” I beg to say that the Greeks are of the most desirable, peaceful and prosperous citizens among the foreigners, and if they occupy * «MR.

I loved him for the services I had rendered him.” Thus in her prison cell in 1788, just before she was led forth to execution, wrote the most celebrated woman of her day. She was de- scribing her engagement and marriage to a man who was even then about to kill himself for love of her. This man was Jean Roland, a refugee from the alleged ‘‘justice” of France's Reign of Terror. Menon Philpon came of an old, impoverished French family. As a girl ghe had shown promise of the literary and political genius by which , She was one day to bend a nation to her will and to help change the history ef the world. She was so beautiful and accomplished that, poor as_ she was, she did not lack suitors. Yet she rejected every offer of marriage. In 1774, when she was 20, she chanced to meet Roland, a grave, schol- afly man of 4. From the first he was attracted to her. She cared little for him; but a friendship sprang up, based on mutual interests. For nearly five years this platonic friendship endured. Then, to the girl's surprise, Roland, on the eve of his departure upon a journey to Italy, Kkisged her. This opened her eyes to his real feelings and led her, little by little te learn to love him. He asked her to be his + wife, She told him frankly that she was very poor and !pade him ask her father’s consent. Her father re- )fused in a needlessly brutal manner. This refusal } probably served to sweep away Manon’s last doubts as to her love for Roland. For, unable to marry him, she went into retirement at a convent. There she stayed for months. Roland at last found her and succeeded in wringing from her father a reluctant con- gent to the match. The wedding took place Feb. 4, 1779. For the first few years after their marriage, Mme. Roland looked upon her husband as a heaven-gifted genius. Then she gradually discovered she had ten times his brains and courage. But, instead of despising him, she Set herself to using all her wondrous talents for the improvement of her husband's fortunes, with the result that her genius raised him at last to the post of Minister of the Interior. Madame Roland, failing in an effort to sc ure a place for herself and her husband in the French peerage, avenged herself by indulging in visionary dreams of freeing France from royal tyranny and of making it a free country like our own. She and her hus- band aired these views in print until the French people were thoroughly aroused. This pair of middle-aged lovers did more than anyone else to bring about. the French Revolution. The people eagerly read and _ believed their pamphlet’ Mme. Roland's beauty and wit made her the most popular as well as the most influential woman in France. The seeds of revolt sowed by her were destined within a very few years to blossom forth into that ter- if needful, growth, the French Revolution. The Rolands wanted France to be free. They wanted King Louis XVI Gethroned. They demanded an independent, self-governing nation. They clam- ered for a revolution. They got all they asked. But. as in the story of “Frankenstein,” the monster they created destroyed them. It was a pretty. bloodiess, philosophical, “kid glove” revolution that they had planned; and @& pure republic like those of ancient Greece and Rome, guided by gentle, high-souled men. When the French Revolution at last burst forth fhe Ro- lands were overjoyed. But their joy quickly turned, to horror. Instead of the ideal, calm; logical change of government ‘that they had both looked for- Ward to, murder, graft, wholesome barbarities marked every step of the up- rising. France swam to freedom in the blood of its butchered children. The King was not only dethroned, but beheaded as well. The Rolands protested @gainst the atrocities that daily filled the land. But France had for the moment gone insane. Because the Rolands begged for moderation they and their followers were charged with treason against the new, bloodstained republic. Roland fled in time to avoid capture. But Mme. Roland was arrested and thrown®into pris- on. Their adherents were scattered or slain. In her cell, in the fall of 1793, Mme. Roland wrote her famous “Memoirs.” In the earlier pages of this Book she says: ‘‘Never can history paint these dreadful times, nor the mon- X _ eters that fill them with their barbarities. * * * }Oh, my friends! May kind fate guide you to .the } United States, the only asylum of freedom!” On Nov. 8, 1793, after a farcical trial, Mme. Roland ee was led forth to be beheaded. On the way to the | Seatfold, her cye fell upon a big clay image of Liberty. She paused and eee ee » exclaimed bitterly: ~~ “O, Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!” (Or. “te some who heard her: “‘O, Liberty, how they have fooled you!"’) Her husband, in the safe hiding place where he was awaiting her release, read of Mme. Roland's death. He made no outcry, but wrote a flerce denun- elation of her “murderers.” This paper he pinned on his breast. Then, un- ‘@bie to endure life without the wife he adored, the stricken old man drew his and drove the blade through his heart. ry Preaching and Practice. I heard him in the court room. His speech transfixed the crowd. “Never,” said he, “should violence Or mob rule be allowed.

He joined the crowd that clamored For the helpless umpire’s death: “You robber, saphead, ruffian, thief, You cheat! We had this cinched Till you butt in, you dough-head doit!

W. Chafnbers.) CHAPTER IX. . Chaostte. Gere came to Silverside two or three times during the early summer, arriving usually on Fri- day and remaining until the following Monday morning. All his youthful admiration and friendship for Selwyn had_ returned; that was plainly evident—and with it something less of callow self-sufficiency. He did not appear to be as cocksure of himself and the world as he had been; there was less bumptiousness about him, less aggressive complacency. Somewhere and somehow somebody or something had come into collision with him; but who or what this had been he did not offer to confide in Selwyn; and the older man, dreading to disturb the existing accord between them, for- bore to question him or invite, even in- directly, any confidence not offered. Selwyn had slowly become conscious of this change in Gerald. In the boy’s manner toward others there seemed to be hints of that seriousness which ma- turity or the first pressure of responsi- bility brings, even to the more thought- less. Plainly enough some experience, not wholly agreeable, was teaching him the elements of consideration for others; he was less impulsive, more tol- erant; yet, at times, Selwyn and Eileen also noticed that he became very rest- less toward the end of his visits at Sii- verside; as though something In the city awaited him—some duty, or responsibil- ity not entirely pleasant. There was, too, something of sober- ness, amounting, at moments, to dis- contented listlessness—not solitary brooding; for at such moments he stuck to Selwyn, following him about and re- maining rather close to him, as though the elder man’s mere presence was @ comfort—even a protection. At such intervals Selwyn longed to invite the boy’s confidence, knowing that he had some phase of life to face for which his experience was evidently Inadequate. But Gerald gave no sign of invitation; and Selwyn dared not speak lest he undo what time and his forbearance were slowly repairing. So their relations remained during the early summer; and everybody suppose! that Gerald’s two weeks’ vacation would be spent there at Silverside. Apparent- ly the boy himself thought so, too, for he made some plans ahead, and Austin sent down a very handsome new motor beat for him. | oies ee atl Understood It is well understood by rejiable dealers that a Lemon Orange ‘ Rose, eta have constituted for years "ast the standard flavors in all the markets of this country. the opinion of the best class of con: sumers is at all worthy of ac: ceptance, they are the purest, strongest and finest flavoring extracts in the world. A BY ROBERT W. CHAMBERS. Then, at the last minute, a telegram arrived, saying that he had sailed for Newport on Neergard’s big yacht! And for two weeks no word was received from him at Silverside. Late in August, however, he wrote a rather colorless letter to Selwyn, say- ing that he was tired and would be down for the week-end. He came, thinner than usual, with the city pallor showing through traces of the sea tan. And it appeared that he was really tired; for he seemed in- clined to lounge on the veranda, satis- fied as long as Selwyn remained in sight. But, when Selwyn moved, he got up and followed. So subdued, so listless, so gentle in manner and speech had he become that somebody, in his temporary absence, wondered whetner the boy were per- fectly well—which voiced the genera! dcubt hitherto unexpressed. But Austin lxughed and said that the boy was merely finding himself; and everybody acquiesced, much re- lieved at the explanation, though to Selwyn the explanation was not at all satisfactory. There was trouble somewhere, stress of doubt, pressure of apprehension, the gravity cf immaturity half real- izing its own inexperience. And one day in September he wrote Gerald, asking him to get | Edgerton Lawn ‘and come down to Silverside for the purpose of witnessing some experi- ments with the new smokeless ex- plosive, Chaosite. Young Lawn came by the first train; Gerald wired that he would arrive the following morning. He did arrive, unusually pallid, al- most haggard; and Selwyn, who met him at the station and drove him over from Wryossett, ventured at last to give the boy a chance. But Gerald remained utterly un- responsive—stolidly so—and the other instantly relinquished the hope of any confidence at tnat time—shifting the conversation at once to the object and reason of Gerald’s coming, and gaily expressing his belief that the time Was near at hand when Chaosite would figure heavily in the world’s ae of commercially valuable explos- vcs. It was early in August that Selwyn had come to tke conclusion that his Chaosite was likely to prove a com- mercial success. And now, in Sep- tember, his experiments had advanced so far that he had ventured to invite Austin, Gerald, Lansing and Edgerton Lawn, of the Lawn Nitro-Powder Co.., to witness ua few tests at his cottage laboratory on Storm Head: but at the same time he informed them with characteristic modesty that he was not yet prepared to guarantee the explosive. “IT think,” said Edgerton Lawn, wip- ing the starting perspiration from iis forehead, ‘“‘that you have made good, Capt. Selwyn. Dense or bulk, your Chaosite and impact primer seem to do the business; and I think I may say that the Lawn Nitro-Powder Co. is ready to do business, too. Can you come to town tomorrow? It’s merely a mat- ter of figures and signatures now, if you say so. It is entirely up to you.” But Selwyn only laughed. He looked at Austin. “I suppose,” said Edgerton Lawn, good-naturedly, ‘that you intend to make us sit up and beg; or do you mean to absorb us?” But Selwyn said: “I want more time on this thing. I want to know what it does to the interior of loaded shells and in fixed ammunition when it is stored for a year.

Meanwhile,”’ turning to Lawn, “I’m tremendously obliged to you for coming—and for your offer. You see how it is, don’t you? I couldn’t risk taking money for a thing which might, at the end, prove dear at any price.” “I cheerfully accept that risk,” in- sisted young Lawn; “I am quite ready to do all the worrying, Capt. Selwyn.” But Seiwyn merely shook his head, re- peating: ‘‘You see how it is, don’t you?” “I see that you possess a oo. de- veloped conscience,’ said dgerton Lawn, laughing; “and when I tell you that we are more than willing to take every chance of failure’’—— But Selwyn shook his head. “Not yet,’ he said; ‘‘don’t worry; I need the money, and I'll waste no time:when a square deal is possible. But I ought to tell you this: That first of all I must of- fer it to the Government. That is only decent, you see’’— “Who ever heard of the Government's gratitude?’’ broke in ustin. ‘‘Non- sense, Phil; you are wasting time!’’ ‘I’ve got to do it,” said Selwyn; ‘‘you must see that, of course.’’ “But I don’t see it,”’ began Lawn— ‘““‘because you are not in the Govern- ment service now’’—— ‘‘Besides,’’ added Austin, “you were not a West Pointer; you never were un- der obligations to the Government!” “Are you not all under obligation?” asked Selwyn so simply that Austin flushed. “Oh, of* course—patriotism and all that—naturally— Confound it, I don’t suppose you'd go and offer it to Ger- many or Japan before our own Gov- ernment had the usual chance to turn it down and break your heart.

ae A By JAMES CRUSINBERRY FAINT ray of hope sprang up among the baseball fans of St. Louis, yesterday, when the Browns grabbed two games from the Philadelphia Athletics and the Detroit team was beaten by the humble New Yorks. It meant a gain of a game and a half on the leaders in the American League race and put the St. Louis club just three and a half mes from the top, While that is a big space to close up in the short time from now to the end of the season, still it is within the range of the possible. The general impression among the critics is that the Browns will have a harder time to pass Cleveland than De- troit, for Monsieur Lajoie and his play- ers seem to be by far the strongest ‘team in the League, at the present time, and are continuing their terrific pace, being but a game from the top today. But as long as the Browns hit the ball and field as they did in the two games yesterday, they wil! lose but few games from now to the close, and should the other teams by some manner of means tumble before the Eastern clubs, the Browns might yet pull to the front. Browns Seemed Stronger. * Both games yesterday were won by gins of but one run, still it was ap- parent all the time that the Browns _Wwere much superior to Connie Mack’s mixed team and only the luck of the game prevented the Browns running up bigger scores in each contest. The first ohe was bagged by a count of 2 to 1 and the second 6 to 4. There were among the spectators those who felt they detected a bit of favorit- ism on the part of Connie Mack toward the Browns. Some even spoke outright _ that Mack had tossed the second game to St, Louis and that he might have won it if he wanted to. While there is nothing whatever of truth in these assertions, still Connie Mack did make one move and his play- ers made two or three blunders that would cause the doubters of square baseball to talk. For instance, in the eighth inning of the second game, with one man on the bases, one run needed to tle the score and Harry Davis, the heaviest hitter of the club, the next bat- ter, it is easy to see how the fans would gaze in wonderment when Mack took Davis out of the game and sent Pitcher Plank in to bat for him. But there were very few of the spectators who knew that Davis had injured his hand and had it bandaged and also few of them knew that Plank was as sure a hitter as any of the extra men sitting on the bench. \Vhat made it look bad yester- Gay was that Plank struck out. Willd Pitches Net Score. Another instance that gave the doubt- ers a chance to revel was in the sixth inning, when the score was tied and Jimmy Williams was on second base. Pitcher Coombs made two wild pitches in succession and let Williams score. Again in the third inning the Nrowns “tied up the score on what might be sup- posed a gift, for with Stone on third and One man out, Ferris lifted a short fly to Murphy in center field. Murphy-is gen- erally an accurate thrower, but this time in throwing to the plate he hurled the ball six feet over the catcher’s head and Stone came in for the tying count. But Murphy was coming in on the run after the fly and shooting it home while On the jump probably caused him to put more force on it than he expected. Coombs has been known to pitch wild ones before, especially in tight places, and there is no doubt that both of those wild heaves yesterday were accidental. Big Jack Powell was in grand form in the first game and gave the Athletics but three hits in the nine innings. Only because a single and a double happened

Bill Dinneen worked in the second game and was much better tthan the score would indicate. Mack's young catcher, Lapp, drove the ball over Hoff- man's head in the second inning when ea man was on first base and both runners scored. Three singles in the fifth gave the Athletics another run and a bad error followed by a single in the eighth brought home the last tally.

Eddie Cochems, coach of the St. Louis University football eleven, heard some good news at Meramec § Highlands. where the ‘varsity squad is training, when he learned, yesterday afternoon. that Hughes, guard on last year’s team: Archie Lowe, a strong end, and ‘“‘Bije’’ French, star lineman of the 196 team, would all return to school about Oct. 1, and would come out for football practice. Cornell, who played in several games in the line last year, was out vester- day afternoon, as were Hans, Brinkop and Conklin, new men. Another prom- ising player, who appeared at the High- lands yesterday, was MacVeigh. Mac- Velgh is a local man. He weighs 186 pounds and in 1908 gained his ‘‘M”’ as a halfback on the Minnesota Univer- sity eleven. He seems to be in good trim and has a great chance of making Cochems’ backfiteld. Cornell is as big as a hogshead. He weighs away over 200 pounds, and will have to do considerable training to get off some of his superfluous flesh and pick up speed enough to land a line posi- tion. Conklin comes from the-« Fort Scott, Kan., high school team. Hans is a fine big fellow, who played at Olivette. Somebody will certainly have to hurry to stop him from landing a berth. He is a hard worker, and yes- terday developed a sore heel on the rocky ground, which put him out of practice. Cochems also gave his giant linesman, Lindsey, a day off to watch the Browns trim the Philadelphia club. Brinkop is a local man. Bigley, Berry and Hill, all substitutes on last year’s team, are expected out in a few days. “Just say that our chances of having a team as strong as the one we had for the past two years are not very bright,’’ said Cochems, with a grin, as he looked about at the bunch of huskies scattered about passing the ball, the sight of whom would make any football coach feel satisfied. HARVARD COACH NAMES FIRST TEAM PLAYERS Special to the Post-Dispatch. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 19.—Coach Daly of the Harvard football team has seelcted a first team from the large Harvard squad. There are a number of men not included in the selection who have done well in the early work. The new line-up includes: Houston, left end; McKay, left tackle; Burr, left guard; Nourse, center; Heard, right guard; Koresheimer, right tackle; Crowley, right end; Bown, quarter; Smith and Zerbert, halves, and Kennard, fullback. Coaches Daly and Kernan followed the men closely and coached the dif- ferent players. Tackles, back forma- tions and line plunges were tried with the opposing second line breaking through. Kick formations and the for- ward pass worked well. Crowley covers ground fast and is a sure catch of the forward pass. Long and Vogel were also tried as halves. Fish, regular right tackle, will report Monday. TRAVERS AND BEHR IN FINAL FOR GOLF TITLE GARDEN CITY, N. J.. Sept. 19.—Je- rome Travers, present holder of the na- tional amateur golf championship, of the Montclair (N. J.) Club, and Max Behr of the Morris County (CN. J.) Club play 36 holes today for the title, the men having yesteday won their way to the final by hard matches. Travers de- feated Walter Travis in a hot contest, he being two cown at the thirty-second hole. Travers braced and showed sen- sational winning the next four holes. Behr and Herreshoff, who played the other semi-final had a 37-hole match, in which the former won the last hole. Today’s contest should be a compara- tively easy one for Travers, who seems a shade better in class than his op- ponent.

FORMER TEAM MATES LIKELY 10 BATTLE FOR WORLD’S TITLE S there such a thing as McGraw- ism? Or is it just a personal- ity that enables this leader to keep his team fighting for the flag all the time? The case of Hughey Jennings seems to indicate that it may be a system and not the man. Jennings and McGraw were mem- bers of the old Baltimore cham- pions. They went to the same baseball school together, learned the same sort of game, becameé imbued with similar ideas of tricky plays, umpire baiting and other niceties which go to make up the game of baseball. Today we find both Jennings and McGraw with a team at the head of their respective leagues and with a good chance of winning the pennant. In fact, today it seems that these two clubs will proba- bly battle for the world’s pennant. Is it system? Or it is personality?

ANY fans think they know the M But they don’t. which was a simple little thing whose Culex was a vindictive little wretch. He winged about with a sharp rapler and a pot of malaria and attacked ev- erything in sight just for the lust of battle. Furthermore he had a battle cry which he kept up incessantly when he found Good Hunting, and whoever heard this cry, from him sleep fled. Culex entered the bungalow of Charlie Hemphill one night, while the latter was banding with the Browns, and be- fore handing him the malaria tip he buzzed about until Charles had beaten hia own face to a sort of calves foot jelly trying to land on his tormentor. All he succeeded in doing was te alter the geography of his countenance. Worst Yet to Come. That was not the worst of it. Find- ing Hemphill good grazing, Mr. Mos- quito returned night after night until Charlie, in desperation, stumbled upon a great secret. He found out that not only was it merely the buzzing that frenzied him and not the bite of Culex, but that he could stop the entire annoy- ance by merely turning over. In rolling and tossing one night to dodge his tormentor, he lay with one side of his face glued to the pillow. He waited patiently for a renewal of the attack, but apparently his tormentor had disappeared. He remained quiet a long time and then concluded the foe had quit the ffeld. But the moment he lifted his head there was the angry buzzing of his tormentor. He tried the pillow again and found relief, for again the mosquito disappeared. After rolling it over in his mind he reached the appaling conclusion that he must be deaf in one ear and that every time he placed his sound ear to the pillow the mosquito could no longer pe heard. Charles told his roommate of the cir- cumstance and asked his advice ag to what he should do. Would Rather Be Deaf. “Do?” was the response. ‘‘Why you're not going through life a deaf one, are you?

But, so they say, he finally soured on the job. He thought that a place where a fellow couldn’t even get a chance to cure a deaf ear was a pretty bad place to live in. So, after the manner of ballplayers who are sore, his feet grew weary in the outfield: his mind thought indifferently fast, and his batting aver- age shrunk until it was terribly ema- ciated. Some said it was because ne was ill; but it is now no longer a secret that it was because he wanted to be traded in order to have his ear mended in peace. And in proof of this statement we can point to the fact that he was traded. Get your ears

YALE ELEVEN IS SADLY DEPLETED a Coaches Must Develop Team From Remnants of 1907 Remnants and Freshmen.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 19.—Not tn depleted by the graduation of players as it has this year. Of last year’s vic- torious eleven Yale has lost the follow- ing mer: Capt. Biglow and H. R. Paige, the two tackles, and G. Foster, the sub- stitute tackle, who was just as good as Paige; Howard Jones and Alcett, the two ends, and Beebe, the other substi- tute tackle and substitute end, as well as Pigott, the second sub-tackle and sub- end; Congdon, the regular center, and Dunbar, the sub-center; Tad Jones, the quarterback, and Dines, the sub-quarter; Bomar and Berger, two of the half- backs, and Mitchell, a sub-halfback. This is a long list of players to lose in a single year and the loss of these men is especially significant, when it is remembered that Biglow, Tad Jones and Alcott were all popular members of the all-American team of last season. Those regulars who remain are as follows: In the rush line, Goebel and Cooney, the two guards; behind the rush line, Coyle, the fullback. Capt. Burch did not play in any of the big varsity games last year. He got into the Harvard game for one or two plays at the close of the game, but barely long enough to get his varsity Y. Few Others Available. Wheaton would probably have been a varsity man last season had it not been for a bad injury. He is in good condition this year and should make one of the strongest men behind the line. Murphy and Philpin, both of whom were strong candidates for the back field last fall, and Logan, who was the sub end, are the only other members of last year’s varsity team who will be available for the eleven this year. From last year’s second eleven there will be the star man, Andrus, the big guard who was ineligible last fall. From last year’s freshman eleven there will be Kilpatrick, who made a repu- tation before coming to Yale, and who can play either at haif back or fullback, or on the end of the line. He is a big fellow and weighs 18 pounds. Deming, another member of last year’s freshmen eleven, was conspicuous as a punter last fail. In the freshman rush line last fall the only man who is thought of as a varsity man is Hollo- way, center rush. This is the material from which Yale will have to build her team this fai) The great problem will be to develop new ends and a quarter back. There is no first-class material in sight for these “positions, and at present they look very doubtful indeed. The ma.- terial for full back and half back posi- tions is good and there will probably be no difficulty in filling these posi. tions with first-class men. With Goebel, Cooney and Andrus for the center of the line, these positions will be we} taken care of, There is some material which may develop for tackle materia}, but at present it is impossible to tel what men will be tried in these posi.

Cochems is also a professional coach of athletes, football and otherwise, and of course is not an amateur. But the rules of the A. A. U. contain no ¢lause or even suggestion that a professional may not be a mem- ber of the governing body. or may not represent the interests of any accredited amateur organization. Question: Shall Cochems’ credentials be accepted and he be empowered to vote? President John J. O'Connor of the Western division has said that Cochems has no right to represent anybody. ex- cept in an advisory capacity. He quotes as authority a ruling from James E. Sullivan, president of the national organization. Will Have te Be Shown. Cochems says he will either be ac- knowledged or he will run for president of the Western division. He adds fur- ther that he will force the organization to adhere to its constitution and by- laws, in which professionals are not de- nied the right to hold office. ITHOUT entering into the merits W of the case, it is safe to say that Cochems will not succeed. He may force ‘the A. A. U. to amend its laws so as to positively define its position on the point. But the organi- zation is for amateurs, and the fact that Mr. Sullivan publishes a sporting manual does not make him a profes- sional. Mr. Cochems is a coach of athletes. He now has a body of them in his care, and it would hardly be fair to give him a position which, as an offi- cer of the A. A. U. might enable him to wield his team. ‘* Nevertheless the fact that the law pro- hibiting professionals is not on the books gives him a loophole for indulging in ndless controversy and, incidentally, for bringing to light the need of a few men like Cochems at the helm of the Ama- teur Association. Men like Delaney and Cochems have dominated the Western A. A. WU. be- cause they are thoroughly, posted on all branches of amateur sport. They can quote the article and section of any rule governing any point of any proposition in the book. They know how athletics should be handled and have given St. Louis all that is best in amateur sport today. Officers Too Busy. The gentlemen who have interested themselves as officers of the A. A. U.

TENNIS STARS IN FINAL TODAY Connett and Anderson Play Glee- son and Jones on Triple A Courts.

Paul Gleeson, one of the most bril- liant tennis players in the city when he is in form, and Drummond Jones, the present city champion in singles, former captain and champion of the Yale tennis team and one of the best players developed in St. Louis, will at- tempt te win the city championship title in doubles in a match with Wil- Ham Coennett and Byron Anderson, at the Triple A in Forest Park, this after- noon. Connett and Anderson are not play- ers with pretty styles and fancy strokes, or who play gallery tennis. But they have team work that will com- pare favorably with any tennis pair in the country.

BEARS DOMINATE THE MARKET ON N.Y. EXCHANGE ,

Serious Losses Were Recorded in All the Prominent Stocks.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Saturday’s stock market was a disastrous one for the bulls. The respite which they re- ceived Friday only served to accen- tuate the unusually heavy losses which they suffered at the closing session of the week. Without any logical reason prices were hammered until losses of 2 and 3 and 4 points were registered in the Issues that have' been the speculative favorites in the bull campaigns of the last three months were the ones that showed the greatest weakness. The opening had been fairly firm, but before the end of the first hour all gains were wiped out, and in the final half hour a heavy selling movement caused losses of 2 points or more in all the active issues. There was very heavy selling of Reading, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, chiefly from traders who have been on the bear side of the market the last few days. There was an utter absence of definite news to ‘account for the break, but in market circles it was believed that the slump might be attributed to political condi- tions. The market was showing only slight recovery at the close. ’ There was renewed pressure after the first quarter of an hour, apd from then on prices made material losses, a number of the leading stocks dropping 2 points and everything traded in dur- ing the first hour showing some amount of loss. Government bonds unchanged; other bonds dull. The weekly statement of the as- sociated banks, issued today, shows the following changes: Reserve on all deposits, decrease $1,- 774,300; reserve on deposits other than United States, decrease $1,310,850; loans, decrease $4,577,700; specie, decrease $2,- 816,700; legal tenders, decrease $832,200: deposits, decrease $7,498,400; circulation, decrease $61,500. Total loans $1,318,152,800. The surplus of the panks is $52,547,700, against $8,405,100 last year and $11,315,920 two years ago. Money on call seneiaat: time loans nominal; 60 days 2% and 90 days ani six months 3%, The market closed very weak at the lowest prices. The character of the trading awakened suspicion that speculative iiquidation was being re- newed and bears offered prices down, uncovering stop loss orders.

In a majority of stocks the changes from the closing were confined to small fractions. Illinois Central re- corded an initial gain of 1% and in its second sale was ?\ above its closing of Friday. — Reading and Smelting were two other stocks that opened strong, the former gcining % and the latter X. At the end of the first half hour there were very few changes in quotations. Some st cks showed weakness in the early trading and lost a smal! fraction, but this was recovered a few minutes later. There was little activity in the rails market outside of Reading, which wa- vered between 133 and 133%. The feature of the industrials was ‘the marked strength in lead, which, opening at 76%, was sent to 79 in the firat haif dozen transactions. Smelting was also quite active, but its tendency was downward. Trading in the steels was very slow and fluctuations in them extremely nar- row, >. _

WEDS WIDOW AND A GIRL SUES HIM FOR S100 _ She Has 116 Love Letters and Claims Bank Clerk Is Gay Beguiler. ENGAGED TO OTHERS ~ —— | ee —_ Miss Neeloo Garner Declares She Was Not the Only One Deceived. - By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, STERLING, IIL, Sept. 19.—One hun- dred and sixteen fervid letters from a bank clerk t~ a working girl, telling a love story that began with the first meeting and ended when the writer ab- ruptly married the “other woman,” are the exhibits in the $10,000 breach of promise suit filed by Miss Neeloo Gar- ner, 18 years old, of Leaf River, IIL, against Arthur R. Buzzel, 2 years old, of Dixon, Il. The suit has stirred social and busi- ness circles in four Illinois towns; for in Dixon and Leaf River young Buzzel is known as a rising young business man, while in the same towns and in Rochelle and Sterling Miss Garner has many friends. She threatens to involve some of them in her damage suit, alleging that when Buzzel married a young widow in Ore- gon, Ill., on June 14, he was engaged to three other women, including the plaintiff in the present proceedings. Miss Garner’s romance lasted for two years. For more than a year she wore Buzzel’s engagement ring. She was wearing it when she was with him on the night of June 12, when, she says, they were planning their life together in the home he was to build for her in Dixon. She did not know then that she had a rival, but on Sunday night, two days later, Buzzel was married to Mrs. Ethel Thompson. Two Others Disappointed. Miss Garner will try to prove that there were two other disappointed fian- cees, each of whom wore the “‘solitaire’”’ and each of whom received love letters similar to the ones she has turned over to her lawyer. Buzzel and Miss Garner lived in Leaf The young man was employed in a bank, and his opportunities in business were exceptional. His father, Charles Ed- ward Buzzel, is prominent in Ogle County politics. “Smart as a whip,” they say of him there, ‘‘and so are his boys.” Miss Garner's father, ‘‘Dave’’ Garner, is not so well off financially. It was necessary for the children to contribute to the family’s support, so Neeloo ob- tained employment with the local news- paper, the Leaf River Mirror. She worked there until she began to plan for the new home in Dixon. Buzzel and Miss Garner knew one another as one person must know an- other in a village like Leaf River, but until the night that Buzzel, in the Millage phraseology, asked to ‘‘take her from a social gathering they were not ‘keeping company.” From that night, however, it was a love af- fair, and Bugzsel, explaining that he could not find sufficient field for his talents in his native town, arranged to go to Dixon, where an opening was offered to him in the BState Union Bank. Wanted to Be Sure of Her. One of the notes he wrote to Miss Garner just:before he left, which is to be introduced in the damage suit reads: “I am going down there (to Dixon) to make something for you with a heart full of courage and hope for the future, when you will be my own in the sight of the world. If I were sure I could keep you true to me! “Be good to me, sweatheart, for I am near the breaking point in some ways. I am nervous and disheartened and almost discouraged with things going on as they are. “I love you and you only, and WILL NOT give you up of my own free will. Think as kindly of me as you can, and write, if only a few lines.” The note is signed, “Ever yours, Ar- thur.”’ Miss Garner alleges that when young Buzzel wrote that letter he was in the midst of two or three other similar love affairs, and that he left Leaf River and went to Dixon on that account, and not, as he wrote, to plan his future with her. When Buzzel reached Dixon he wooed Miss Garner as ardently by mail as he had done in Leaf River. He wrote let- ters of exceptional length, addressing her most frequently as “My Dearest,” and signing them “Yours.” He referred often to his plans for a “house,” and in one letter he addressed Miss Garner as ‘Dear Wife.” His letters were well phrased and evi- dently were penned slowly and carefully. He discussed intimately the affairs of the bank and gave laborious descriptions of his personal affairs, illustrating his letters at times with rough pen-and-ink sketches. In one letter he breaks ab- ruptly from an accemnt of how affairs are going in business to say: More Than “Dearest Friend.” Do you know you are the best girl that ever breathed? Not only that, but ‘ me you are the sweetest and pret- tlest woman that ever made a man happy by promising to be his."’ _ Almost a year to a day from the date »” which Miss Garner filed her breach f promise suit, young Buzzel wrote the ‘etter which is to be the principal ex- bit if the case goes to trial. This let- er is dated “Dixon, $-27,"" and over the late is written “Here's a million kisses oF your good, long letter.” “see He writes: Dear Neeloo: Your letter was re- : ‘ get one from you, and am very glad I wasn’t disappointed. “Yes, you are smart for getting your work done ‘so fast, but don’t overdo yourself. I know you must have worked hard. “Do you know the first thing that struck me when I read your letter? It was the heading. ‘My dearest friend.’ Now, I figured that you headed it that way for some ‘rubberneck’s’ benefit, but if you did not, I want to ask you —are we not more than friends? “You are more to me than you could be if you were the dearest friend I ever could have, for I love you unselfishly, without thought of self, and I want to be more to you than ‘dearest friend.’ “Tf I cannot be more I accept‘ dearest friend’—but I want to be more. “You are more to me than I ever dreamed anyone could be, for I know I am not always as affectionate as I have been to you, but my love for you brings out the best there is in me, and I truly love you, and would think of you before anyone else or myself. “Your writing is looking better—more like it was before you were ill—and I am glad to note the sign of improve- ment in ‘nerves.’ ‘“T have read your letter over very carefully several times and am going over it again as I write. There are some things I want to treat on. Mentions Their Plans. “Firstly, you say you wouldn't give me up for all the boys you have ever gone with (‘which means a good deal’). Dear, I KNOW it means a great deal to say it about JUST ONE of them. You know who I mean. I know how it is, all right. “You speak of being lonesome. Well, you can imagine how I feel. It seems as I lie awake night after night, AS I DO, thinking of you and home, that my being at home was only a short, sweet dream, such as I have dreamed since I have been here. “It doesn’t seem possible or true that just a little less than a week ago I saw you and kissed you again. “IT think of our meeting all the time and can hardly wait until the next time. ‘It is generally moonlight now by the time I get ‘home’ from supper, and as I walk from downtown I think of you, and wish you were with me. We would go around and look at several of those houses I told you of. | “TIT also wish it was next year. And let me tell you, sweetheart, that our plans for the future won't fail, as you seem to think. “Cheer up, trust me, and remember I am loving you and dreaming and plan- ning for us, dear heart. Good night. Lovingly yours, ARTHUR.” Listen to the Band. Buzzel’s love apparently did not grow cold during the hot weather. He had been to a park in Dixon to hear a “celebrated band” play, and it made him think of “his sweetheart.”’ When he reached home he wrote a long letter, describing his emotions as he ‘‘lis- tened to the band,’’ and concluding with the statement that he had promised himself a luxurious hour in the bathtub as a means of attaining real comfort. To better impress this fact on his fiancee he drew a pen-and-ink sketch of a bathtub, with great splashes of water, and a sketch of his shoes on the floor. A heated protestation of love for Miss Garner formed the “‘overlines’’ or ‘‘cap- tion’’ for the sketch, while ‘'This is Me’”’ were the “underlines.”’ The papers in Miss Garner’s suit were served on Buzzel several days ago, but he has not employed counsel. Although he will not discuss the case, even with his most intimate friends, it is thought that an effort will be made to settle it out of court. “T will not hawe any trouble in es- tablishing my charge of breach of prom- fes,’"’ Miss Garner said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter. “I will prove that he ave me an engagement ring, and the etters will show that he gave me every reason to believe that I was to become his wife. Defendant's Wife Prosatrated. “I saw him two days before he was married. There was no quarrel. He told me that he loved me, and we were talking about our future together. I do not know why he changed his mind so suddenly, but I will show that he was engaged to other girls at the same time.’’ Mrs. whom suzzell mar- wealthy woman. She, 160, was employed by a newspaper when Buzzel married her. The wedding took place at Oregon, the capital of Ogle County, 10 miles from Leaf River, the home of the jilted fiancee. Mrs. Thompson-Buzzel wis prostrated when the breach of promise suit was filed against her husband by Miss Gar- ner, and now is seriously ili at her home in Dixon. One of the young wom- en who is to be subpenaed by Miss Gar- ner as another ‘discarded fiancee,” is a friend of the bride, living in Oregon.

Conrad Schopp, 62 years old, known to farmers and commission men throughout the country as the “Apple King,’’ is in the observation ward at the City Hospital. His mind is believed to have been temporarily unbalanced by overwork. He was taken to the hospital Friday night from his home at 32832 Washing- ton boulevard after he had fought with four policemen who had been sent for by members of the family when he had suddenly become violent. He recently returned Creek, Mich., where he months ago for his health. Schopp was a leader among the com- mission men on North Third street until last fall, when a nervous break- down forced him to retire from active supervision of. the large business which he had built up. At that time his wealth was estimated to be $500,000. Disappointment because of the failure of last year’s apple crop is said to have caused him great worry. His specialty was buying the entire outputs of apple orchards. He was one of the organizers of the Produce Exchange of St. Louis and a member of many national organizations of commission men. IOWA MULCT LAW KNOCKED OUT DAVENPORT, Io., Sept. 19.—Accord- ing to a decision rendered yesterday by Judge Smith McPherson of the United States Circuit Court, the Iowa mulct law system, under which saloons are now operating, is illegal. Judge Mc- Pherson further declares that there has not been a lawful sale of liq- uor as a beverage within the State of lowa for % years. He further holds that no person under any circumstances can lawfully sell liquor as a beverage in Iowa. Under the mulct law Iowa saloonkeep- ers have been paying $600 annually as a tax with the understanding that it legalized their sale of intoxicating liq- uors and gave them relief from the old prohibitory law, which is still on the statute books. from Battle went three HOTELS.
