Affected by Other Failures. Officials of the bank say the failure of the National Bank of Commerce in Kansas City and the failure of a trust company in lwew York was the first cause of the local institution’s troubles. Both the concerns named were corre- spondents of the Exciange Bank and the failures caused heavy withdrawals by depositors. Since Jan. 1, the bank has.lost more than $1,500,000 in depos- its, and has had difficulty collecting its loans on short notice. BANK OF COMMERCE 1S $T, LOUIS CORRESPONDENT The National Bank of Commerce was the St. Louis correspondent of fhe Springfield bank. Cashier Lewis of the Bank of Commerce said Monday that the Springfield institution was not indebted to his bank at the present time. “We knew they had some bad loans and some slow loans,"’ he said, “but just what these were I couldn't say.” . St Louis, Dec. 7, 1908. ‘Bulletin 88 Over 20 Consecutive Months, Or 88 Consecutive Sundays * Harris, — secretary of. the ‘Missouri League of Republican Clubs, was arrested Monday on complaint of Miss Daisy Vaucher, stenographer’ for the Board of Election Commissioners. She alleges that he took a $150 diamond ring from her desk at the City Hall two weeks ago. Harris was in the lobby of the Four Courts Building when Sergt. McMullen took him into custody. Miss Vaucher was waiting for him in the Chief's office at headquarters: When he was brought in she sald: “Sim, you've got to cough up. You have had that ring long enough and you'll have to produce.” “Honest, Daisy, I can’t come across,”’ said Sim. “I took the ring off your desk and shoved it on my finger to make a flash. I -walked around the hall and when I went back you had ducked. I tried to hand it to John Ellspermann, secretary of the Board, but he said ‘nix.’ Then I put it back on your desk. That’s strnkight, Daisy.” “Well,’’ replied Miss Vaucher. “‘You’ve been stalling long enough. I guess you'll have, to go to the strong place.’’ Harris, protesting his innocence, was placed in. the. holdover. When he was searched, an envelope of a large business concern, sealed and stamped, was found in his pocket. In it wag a check drawn in favor of a woman. The police will investigaté to determine how he came iin ——— of the check. He will make no state- ment about it. Harris gave way to mental. strain four years ago,..when the Republican League Clubs had @ convention at Music Hall. For a short time he was in St. Vincent’s Asylum.

Charles Wahrendorf Blow, manager of |’ SPRINGFIELD, - the St. Louis office of the American Lini- seed Co., and a mémber of a family prominently connected with the. city’s history, killed himself Monday. He fired a bullet into his right temple at 8 a. m., while standing before -the mirror in the bathroom at his home, 4450 La- clede avenue. Grief over the illness of his only son, Thomas Richardson Blow, aged 18, who ecently became unable to walk, is be- lieved to have affected Mr. Bigw’s mind. The boy, suffering from a.paralytic af- fection, had been obliged for several weeks to move about ‘in a wheel chair. His sickness, which seemed likely to thwart the plans. made for his educa- tion, and to handicap him in his future life, distressed the father deeply, and he spoke to his intimate friends of his sorrow. . Distressed on Boy’s Account. iIn the boy’s presence, Mr. Blow tried to be cheerful, but the sight of the child’s helplessness caysed. him pain which he could hardly conceal. When the boy's wheel chair was pro- pelled into the dining room for break- fast Monday, Mr. Blow inquired tender- ly how he wag feeling. ‘‘Not much better, papa,” said the boy, trying to smile. Mr. Blow talked of other matters, in an effort to cheer the rest of the house- hold, When the wheel chair had been taken back to the next room, the fa- ther went upstairs. A moment later Nelije Kennedy, a heusemaid, heard a noise and went to the bathroom. She found Mr.’ Blow lying across the edge of the bathtub with a revolver in his hand, Dead When Doctor Arrived, She called another servant, and a mo- ment later Mra. Blow entered. One of the maids fran across the street and called Dr. Louie P. Butler from ‘His home, 4475, Laclede aventve. Mr. Blow was dead before Dr. Butler reached the house. 4 X Acting.

He occupies, for instance, the same evil eminence with such men as Mr. .affan of the New York Sun, edi- torials o. whose pers you or others have from time time called to my attention, juct as you have called to my attention these torials of the Indi- | anapolis News, , i never see an ‘editorial in any one of these or similar papers unless for some reason it is sent to me by you or by some one else, and of the editorials thus sent me there is hardly one which does not contain some wilful and delib- erate perversion of the truth.” The President then quotes his formal! denial issued two weeks ago of the Sun's story that he had aided the Prai- tle Of] Co., a subsidiary of the Stand- ard OU. in Texas. ‘Then he says: “The fact is, that these particular newspapers habitually and continually, and, as a matter of business. practice every form of mendacity known to man, from the suppression of the truth and the suggestion of the false, to the

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Repiying’ to President Roosevelt's letter calling him a liar, because of his newspaper state- ments regarding the Panama deal, W. M. Laffan, editer of the New York Sun, gives as good as he got. He says: “The editor of the Sun presents his compliments to Mr. Roosévelt and ac- knowledges his active sensibility in re- spect of the attention which Mr. Roose- velt has been good enough to pay him in his letter to William Dudley Foulke of Indiana. “Notwithstending the directness of his challenge, the editor of the Sun de- clines a controversy with Mr. Roose- velt,. He is by no means indifferent to the implied compliment discernible in Mr. Roosevelt's tirade, but Mr. Roose- velt has shown in his frequent collis- longs with various persons of* distinc- tion that he has an overwhelming ad- vantage over any respectable antag- onist in his (Mr. Roosevelt's) complete freedom from any sense of persona! ob- ligation in respect of the truth. “The editor ef the Sun is fully alive t> the extremity of the inconvenience with @ man who has shown himself ca- }pable of suppression and perversion of individual correspondence, an act which in ordinary life would, in the cogni- zance of any club or association of self- respecting gentlemen, entail his prompt expulsion.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—John D. Arch- bold, vice-president of the Standard Oil was again-a witness on re-directj Co., examination today in the sult in “the Federal Court to dissolve the company, under tite Stierman anti-trust law. Mr, Archbold’s testimony had to, do with details of certain properties con- veyed to the Standard on, its organiza- tion. The Standard entered the lubri- cating business ‘in 1878, said the witness. ‘Practically all the acquisitions of the S.andard from 1878 to 1882 were made by cash which care from thé treasuries of the Standard and its subsidiary com- | panies. Mr. Archbold said that.the establish- ment of marketing stations to compete with the rivals of the Standard natural- ) ly forced the small dealers and jobbers from the field: Some correspondence | between the Pennsylvania Geologicai Survey and the Standard showing the apparent. limitations of crude produc- tion in the early days was spréad on the record, with the evident design of | shewing the hazards of the business testified to by Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Archbold. The witness said that wax was an im- portant by-product of petroleum and this branch of the Standard’s industry had increased from %,000,000 pounds In 1832 to 240,992,478 pounds in 1907. A brief recross-examination of Mr. Archbold by Mr. Kellogg, Government counsel, followed. Regarding the Standard Oi) Co. of In- Archbold said it was orig- inally capftalized for $1,000,000 and had torrowed large sums of money from other companies, which had been paid off out of earnings.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Both houses of Congress held brief sessions today, adjournment being taken out of respect to the memory of those members who had died during. the recess. The only business transacted by the Senate was the swearing in of Senator Page of Vermont. The first half-hour of the House was devoted to a roll call to ascertain the presence of a quorum. The formal opening of the House oc- casioned a remarkable demonstration for Speaker Cannon, the Republicans and many Democrats clapping their hands and cheering for several minutes. Mr. Sherman of. New York, Vice-Presi- dent-elect, was accorded an ovation from hig Republican colleagues. In like man- ner the Democrats roundly applauded the new leader, Champ Clark of Mis- sourl, when he arose in his place and forced an explanation regarding the ab- sence of credentials of a new member from the Third New York District.

Im tely adjoining the Bangert’s place is a fishing club, of which John Fontana, saloon keeper and former mem- ber of the House of Delegates, is the chief promoter. . rontana and his friends are said to control about ‘acres. Found at 150 Feet. ' Coal, of The codl deposit was discovered 150 _ feet below the surface while H. W. Spensiek of 4321 Praitie avenue, an. ar- tesian well digger, was boring for water on the Bangert farm. Water was found ata depth of 35 feet, but the supply ’ Was insufficient and further excavation _ ‘was ordered. In the vicinity of the Bangert @arm — — property is owned by Oscar eid, a St. Lovis insurance agent, and enry Watson, an attorney of this \vity. - The Messrs. Bangert told a Post-Dis- —** correspondent at. Ferguson Mon- “day that they had taken out a small quantity of coal and found it to be of } " excellent quality. “We bored. 425 feet before we fount the necessary water supply,” they said. “We shall continue our investigation of _ the coal deposit, however, and may put _ in a shaft if subsequent revelations jus- tify it.”

Revolvers Rout Highwaymen, Two highwaymen afmed with beer botties attempted’ to rob James SAYS THE TRUTH IS GOING BEGGING WASHINGTON, Dec. Herbert E. Miles, manufacturer and consumer, who attacked the present protective tariff before the Ways and Means Committee, said today: “I stand on the Chicago platform; I am a protectionist. Mr. Taft and I are in hearty accord and I want to say to that commission that if they do not adopt an honest and decent revision of the tariff they will get a veto from the White House. “Of course Mr. Taft did not know what I was going to say to the com- mission and I do not want te be quoted as saying that he commissioned me to voice *his ‘sentiments béfore the com- mission. When he resumes his attack before the committee Tuesday, Mr. Miles will point to ‘the 5-cent duty on eggs and show that last year $300,000,000 ‘worth of eggs were produced in America and $27,000 worth imported. Next he will show that the-farmer is given undue protection in the shape of a 15-cent rate on corn. This tariff netted the Govern- ment $1400 during last year and $2.78 of this was on Cuban corn, fear of which got the tariff levy on the cereal. Hides will be taken up by Mr. Miles and he will try to show that farmers and packers will benefit greatly if the tariff is abolished and the Leather Trust broken up. Cheaper shoes and more of them, with a bigger market for meat in Germany and France, will result, Mr, Miles says. “Trusts Get+the Profits.” “I.am going to tell that committee,” said Mr. Miles, ‘‘that one-fourth of the profit of nearly every trust in this country .is tariff.’ Mr. Miles is a little man of 50, spare of build and keen of eye. He is a tariff expert and his idea of a tariff commis- sion is embodied in the Beveridge bill Ti the Senate. -He has studied the tarifi for three years. In that time he has associated: himself with 200 commercial bodies in the United States and he has volumes of letters to substantiate ev- ery statement he makes to the commit- tee. : “They asked me for proof Saturday.

But should he arrive at Bordeaux and his iliness net be ‘serious, the Cab- inet has determined that some signa!) redress must be exacted from the Ven- yezuelan President for his ignominious expulsion of M.

Mary Robinson, Tunstell’s sister, was also arrested on a charge of receiving stolen property, and adniitted having had the ring, but said that she threw the gem into an ash pit when she saw the officers arrest her brother. Officers Riek and Grogan searched the ash pit but failed to find the gem. Mrs. Robinson said at police headquarters that she saw Officer Grogan pick up something that glittered in the ash pit and put it in his pocket.

make of it an unusually pleasing enter- tainment. : Ada Lewis, who is a composite type of nearly all the stage heroines of comedy, tragedy and drama, does a clever bit of work, and it is regretta- ble that she is not seen more in “Nearly @ Hero.” Hers was the greatest per- sonal.triumph of the evening. Sam Bernard makes -much of the rather hackneyed and commonplace hero, and by his own personality and grotesque comedy, pleased last night's large audience so much that he was repeatedly encored at the end of the second act until he responded with a F curtain talk. His burlesque on the epera singér was the most. nota- and pleasing of his hits. La Rue—grace in more than character of Ludwig Knoedler, the near- |

name—wears some stunning dance cos- tumes, sings, dances, imitates various things and gives life and flavor to the performance. Between Ada Lewis, Sam Bernard and Grace La Rue, the race for first honors is close. You might go and pick the winner yourself. But these are not the whole show. Burrell Barbaretta has some pleasing song numbers; Daisy Leoen’s voice is heard to good advantage in “I Want a. Steam Yacht,’’ Phil Ryley and chorus sing “Not Really,” and there are many song numbers and minor characters all well taken. The chorus is large, well-gowned and well-drilled. What it, lacks in singing ability is more than accounted for in its attraction for the eye. While the ear rests, the eye feasts.’ It is well TMS, BARR SENOS.

Dr. Harrison Declares Lives of Unmarried Persons Are Incomplete.

A test of love was prescribed for women by the Rev. Dr. Leon Harrison in his Sunday morning address at Tem- ple Israel. “The first essential for mar-iage, we all recognize, is love,"’ said Dr. Harri- son, “love of the man for the woman and «f tne woman for the man. But how shall they, particularly the woman, know love from the feelings which often c@unterfeit it? “IT may suggest one test for the wom- en—that she should not only be happy when she is with the man in question, but that she should be unhappy with- out him. pes The Unmarried Are Incomplete. Speaking on “The Portrait of an Ideal Wife,” as painted in the last chapter of the Book of Proverbs, Rabbi Har- rison declared that the unmarried man or woman is an, incomplete person. But he gave high praise to the occasional woman, who, from motives of filial duty, er to minister more effectively to the needy, remains single. “Let us not deride her with nic.- names,” said the speaker. “Let us honor her, as Ged will honor her when He counts His pure white pearls of stainless, selfless human life. “Solomon, the writer. of this chapter, never heard of the clubwoman, the woman who is at home everywhere but in her home,” said Dr. Harrison, return- ing to the subject of the wife. “There are women who are ashamed to have children, and who are too in- dolent and selfish to_nurture the un- welcome children which sometimes come to them. “A woman cannot be a true mate to a man who will not bear and rear his children. Compare such a one with the old Hebrew wife and mother whosé hus- band, with enthusiasm that grew with the passing years, declared ‘Many daughters have “done excellently, but thou excellest them all.’ ’’ Say Nothing, Do Nothing and—«

FEARS HE WILL SLAY HER Miss of 16 Asks Police Protection and Is Held as Runaway. Following a talk with policemen in which she accused a man of having stolen clothing and a revolver from 4 fellow roomer at 1422 Olive street, Myr- tle Smith, 16 years old, of Fayetteville, Ark., was arrested on a charge of being a runaway. Bert Pyle, who rooms at the Olive street address, reported Sunday even- ing that he had been robbed of clothing worth «30 and a revolver. Sergt. Wade Matthews questioned Miss Smith and she told the officer that Fra- : Woods, “# years old, had committed the theft. “Dont tell Woods I accused him or he will kill me,’ said Miss Smith. Woods declared the girl had no rea- Sen to fear him. He denied all knowl- edge of the theft. Miss Smith told Sergt. Matthews she had run away from her home and had been living with Woods at the Olive street address. Woods was arrested.

The plan as devised by Creecy and Ca- ‘pen excited much comment. It was.sug- gested that if the Automobile Club member could avoid arrest by showing a card countersigned by the Chief of Po- lice, the system might be extended so as to afford similar protection to porch- climbers, highwaymen and, other vio- lators of the law. ‘In addition to this good natured rail- lery there were strenuous objections from hundreds of St. Louis automobil- ists who do not belong. to the Auto- mobile Club. Many of these complaints, were made. direct to members of the. Board, it being urged that all owners of machines should be treated alike. ’ Creecy Proud of the Pian.

Sunday. » Miss Hercules is not vain because of her marksmanship, however, and does not consider it wonderful. “I refused to prosecute the man, said Monday morning, “because I am too busy. I am going to wash this morning and attend a funeral this aft- ernoon.”’ | Miss. Her@ules’‘ had been at the home fwhere she was t@ attend the funeral On her return she saw a man standing across the street.. He was staring at her, she thought. To see if she was correct she did not go iff at ofice, but walked a little way down the’ street. So did the man. Stome Hits Him in Eye. When she got back to her own home and was about to eriter the yard a sec- ond time the man crossed the street, “smiling from ear to ear,’ she says. She picked up a stone. “Good evening,’ said the man; Miss Hercr'es *hrew the rock. The man, with 4 cry of pain, turned and fled east on Soulard street. Miss Hercules called Her brother,

Miss Her- cules was not in court. No punishment is teo severe for you,”’ said Judge Tracy, “but in view of the faet that you have had some puhish- ment already I wilt let you off with $10 and costs.”’ Stufler wore a bandage about his head. . WIFE DIVORCED FROM HUSBAND WHO COMPLAINED OF HIS WORK He Said That She Married Him to Get a Farm Laborer and a Cook. Judge McElhinney of the St. Louis County Circuit Court granted Mrs. Philippina Kremer of Belleville a di- vorce from John C. Kremer Monday on the ground of desertion. Kremer sued for divorce, alleging ili treatment and Mrs. Kremer filed a cross bill. He testified that his wife, who owns a farm in Bonfils, St. Louis County, had told him that she was mar- ried him only so that she could have him: work on her .arm. He also gaid that he was forced t9. cook the meals ‘and was never allowed at the table with Mrs. Kremer’s children by a former marriage. Mrs. Kremer testified that they were married March 2, 1902, and that Kre- mer deserted her Sept. 6, Mrs. Kremer’s children testified that their step-father was always first to reach the table and last to. leave.

Al TrLreE HARMONY TO PROMOTE AFFECTION

Prima Donna Declares “As Piano Comes In at Window Love Goes Out By Fire Escape.”

‘ Y NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. N YORK, Dec. 5.—‘‘When the panic comes in at the window love goes out by the fire escape.” 3 This is the answer of Mme. Gerville- Reache, thé seductive Delilah of the most. successful novelty of the Ham- merstein operatic season, {6 Walter Damrosch’'s assertion in St.Louis that if we had more music in our homes we would have fewer discerds and di- vorces. ‘Papas I saw Mme. Gerville-Reache, an al- luring vision in old rose° and blue, in her apartment last evening and she thus began a very interesting discus- sion of Mr. Damrosch’s views by her remark concerning love and pianos. “Mr. Damrosch’s theory may be true of temperamental persons—of artists for instance,” she continued. ‘But it is not’ for the general public. In the ordi- nary family there is but one thing more fatal to love than the piano—that is the gramophone. Many husbands are driven to distraction by the poor but incessant playing of their wives. ‘‘We have in France this saying, ‘La musique adoucit les moeurs’—music softens or corrupts morals. Many crimes have been committed in ‘its name. To me, personally, Mr. Dam- rosch’s idea would apply. No. matter how discoufaging or tired or bad tem- pered I am. I have only to play and sing a little to bring back all my se- renity.”’ ‘Then, if music isn’t the food of love, or the pousse cafe of marriage, what js?” I inquired. Her Husband's Fault. “T cannot speak as an expert,’ gurglied the great contralto. “I am not married, madamoiselle, but as an observer merely I think that what the American home requires fs not music, but an appreciation: of. the meaning of’ the word ‘companionship.’ “Granted that the American.wife is the most independent, the most, con- sidered in the world—she is not the companion of her husband as every European wife is of hers. This is not | her fault, but her husband’s, who pre-| fers to regard her as a toy rather than a companion. He is proud of her —very proud. She is the best advertise- ment of his success—his most stunning poster girl, .I may say. But his friend, his adviser, his. partner, in the sense that the French is—ah! that is hardly ever. No, truly,” continued the prima donna earnestly, “it is not with music that the wife must keep her husband's love, but with other arts.” “What arts?” I queried. -“Chiofly intehigence.and charm," re- plied Gerville-Reache. “Intelligence witho?t charm will not prevail, though dometimes charm alone will answer.” And beauty?’ “Beauty is just, the fly by which ‘the fish is allured,” answered the singer. “After he has swallowed it he doesn’t give much thought to its color or di- ‘was handling its ‘ mensions. “it's got an awful head this morn- very well that if you place the tip of one fingér on a man’s shoulder you can swim together very nicely. Of course he does all the work, but if you crab] him frantically about the.neck you both go dewn. It is so with marriage as well.”’ “And you really think it takes intelli- gence to hold a husband?” “A husband, certainly,” replied the singer. “‘Not always, out, of the con- jjugal relation. For instance, as Delilah the arts I employ are crude, rather vul- gar, in fact. Still every woman who a Delilah.’’ “And cut off Samson’s hats dhear him of his strength : “Ah,” shrugged the sinus Gallically, ‘Samson's hair grows so fast, you know. Haven’t you found it so?’ “why,” I confess.d, “all the Samsons. I've met turned out to be wearing. wigs. Their so-called masculine stréngth of mind was a false alarm.” “Ah, yes, many of them do wear wigs in that sense,” laughed the lady with the other hyphen. “Some of them, per- haps, only toupees,” she added. “But then they are all the easier to manage- Whoever knows a small boy can manage a man. They are very sim- ple. Many pay them the compliment of imagining them complicated, and I be- lieve Mr. Damrosch is of the number. HO, HUM! DUCK GETS DRUNK ON BEER IN ALTON AND PICKS ON THE CHICKENS Spends the Night Wrapped Around a Clothes Post and Has a Hang-Over Today. William Keil’s duck got drunk on four glasses of beer. Now William is chas- ing the duck. Keil went from his home in Alton to E. 8S. Kennedy’s saloon in East Alton and played euchre and won the bird. Tying its feet together, he threw it in a corner and shuffied the cards again for a goose. Several of “the boys,” who believe that the old dinner pafl should be kept full on Sundays as well as on working days, were making regular trips from their homes to the bar. Gurreptitiously they gave beer to the duck. When Keil reached home he cut the string and turned the bird loose in the back yard. It fell down and bumped its bill It staggered aimiessiy about

The failure of another public utilities bill ow- ing to legal obstacles should turn the attention of the Assembly to the only practicable means of attaining the object sought. The commission pro- posed under the Cooper act never had any but advisory powers, and the work can just as well be done by a joint committee of the Council and House of Delegates. Publicity is the one great thing to be striven for. The committee should hold frequent meet- ings which should be well advertised beforehand. Complaints, suggestions and recommendations should be solicited from citizens, and reports should be made at stated periods to the Assembly. By exerting such powers as can be lawfully con- ferred, such a committee can get facts and in- vertigate grievances. Once these are clearly stated and published, public opinion can be re- lied upon to support dny legislation which the Assembly may enact in pursuance of the commit- tee’s findings. This will afford a measure of protection for the public against the misconduct of corporations and abuse of their privileges, and it should be followed up by the creation of a commission which shall, like the two public service commis- sions in New York, be an efficient means of reg- ulating’ and controlling the companies. As a permanent agency the great need is a commis- sioh with teeth in it. | ie . il

EY ARE constantly being asked, writes “L’Homme qui Sait” in ‘ “Peirchild’s Magazine,” what colors the men about town are “‘wear- ing” now, and which ds the more “popular” of all the shades and “tones” in néckwear, skirts, socks and the like, | as well as clothing, that are being dis- played’ in the shops these days for Mi- lord. to. choose from. . But has there ever been a time in the history of things “sartorial” in which it has been more difficult to make any arbitrary state- In the first place, this ts essentially a day of individualism. Not for years have men been permitt such license in dress; that is, as as this very ques- tion of colors is cencerned. Certainly there is no “limit” to the lengths to which they are permitted, according to “eorrect’’ usage, to go in the choice of colors that happen to strike their fancy. With sq many. shades ahd so wide a field to select from, there are few com- binations and harmunies of the “seven edlors that they may not avail them- selves of in these days and still be “good form. 1— Another difficulty that must be taken into ‘consideration in noting the colors | § that men wear most at present is the LL LL Ol ON AOS A CN SIT CLR TTT * 2 : Gaia B. re aw E. ones Sn uae © —* F ef “a eS = i 1 ie, a a and ‘An Expert Consideration of the Moment's Fads. necessity of making allowance for the time, the placé and the individual. It congregations of men, on various similar occasions, are apt to wear very different kinds of clothes. It may be stated, however, as a general rule, that the tendehcy among the best dressed men at the present time is exemplified in a leaning toward the greatest #im- plicity in dress. Scarfs of gray and wack and the .darxer shades of the seven colors’’ are being worn as much as anything else on. the more formal day occasions. This. leaning toward simplicity, too, is exemplified in the suits, which are apt to be black or of Oxford gray or dark blue. On certain “‘outdoor’’ occasions, on the other hand, groups of fellows were seen wearing green sults, shirts, ties and the like. On another occasion there were many pastel shades noted in the scarfs, although the ‘clothing was generally dark. Sometimes more brown sults will be noted than green ones. It is ‘just “as it happens” these days, al- though there would seem to be little doubt that the chaps who affect colors at all are more apt to be seen wearing green than any other color. Just at the moment green is a veritable craze with brown following close upon its heels. Scarfs, for instante, nowadays, are apt to be green or brown in their general effect, and green and brown both Ngure largely in the shirtings today. There is & growing tendency, however, to return to blues, and some of the more ex- clusively — men are buying blue ‘shirts. There are indications that be- fore very long blue will be in the as- cendancy once more. Blues, however, do. not play a very large part in the scarfs of the moment, the men who wear blue shirfs, for instance, usually put on a brown or green cravat, har- monizing or matching the stripes in the shirt, which, fn turn, are apt to be of a strongly contrasting color, even deep red. Various new “gold” effects, an outcome of the browns that were popu- lar in the early fall, are often seen, and there is a decided revival of pink among the best dressed men. The “queer” shades of pink have been popu- las fer scarfs for some time now, but this has been followed by a decided in- Crease in the number of pink shirts seen. These shirts, it will be recalled, have always been popular in England and on the Continent, but until the past month they have practically been- | “ehelved” in this country.

Every manager in the League told him that Waddell was incorrigible, that Ferris Was sour on the world and that Wil- Hams had gone back so far he could not bear to look at himself in the face in the mirror. ) But instead of wrangles and fights, the dove of peace settled on the club after one wild fling by Waddell, when McAleer threw on his Mexican bit and restrained the fiery steed. The grouches lost their traits entirely, But to add two more of this type to the burich may be a risky business. ‘Chase is undoubtedly a great first base- man, as Frank Smith is undoubtedly a great pitcher.

Waddell was.the best card, for the gate, of any man on the Browns team without exception. His name, an- nounced as the pitching end of a bat- tery, sufficed to bring’ the fans for miles to see ‘the famous Rube. He paid for himself many times over. His sal- ary is small and hig conduct improving. Is there any reason for letting this man go, to give him his due at last? \. Rube’s salvation, physically, is his in- tense love of outdoor life. The big fel- low seldom passes a week without going into the country to fish or shoot. Dur- ‘Ing the winter he spends almost his entire time tramping the hills and fields with his gun and dog. He breathes the fresh air of the mountains for months and gains new life from them. As long as Rube loves his rod and gun, he will, at least for a number of years, be under no necessity of quitting baseball because

Not a man was injured, nor was there a spill during the excitement, although every man on each of the 16 teams was on and off more than a dozen times during the excitement. Faber and Lafourcade were lapped 2 times, Brocco and Labrouse six times, and Downing and Hollister, Walthour and Root, Devonovitch and Drobach and Galvin and Wiley each lost one lap. At 10 o’elock the score was: Rutt and Stol, Dupree and Georget, MacFarland and Moran, Folger and Lawson, Downey and Logan, Bedell and Ruprecht, Palmer and Walker, Anderson and Vanoni, Col- lins ond Mitten, Hill and Demara 227 miles 7 laps; Downing and Hollister, Walthour and Root, Devonovitch and Drobach, Galvin and Wiley 227 miles 6 laps; Broceo and Labrouse 226 miles 9 laps; Faber and Lafourcade 226 miles ¢ laps.

HUESTON CHOICE. TO-BEAT DE ORO Three-Cushion Billiard Title Is at Stake in Match Which Opens Tonight. Alfredo De Oro and Thomas Hueston inaugurate their three-night match for the world's three cushion billiard cham- pionship title at the Rex billiard hall auditorium this evening, when 60 points of the 150-point contest will be,played. The winner of the match will take down the $260 a side wager, all of the gate receipts and the Jordan W. Lam- bert championship emblem, valued at close to $1000, at present held by Hues- ton. Hueston won his title by defeating John Daly. He has been displaying ex- cellent form in practice and the men who are close followers of cue contests expect Hueston to retain hig title. They figure that when he defeated’ De Oro only a few weeks ago for the world’s pool championship title and toek that emblem away from the Cuban, as well as $150 of his money, he gained quite an advantage for his three cushion con- test. : \ Hueston played brilliantly against De Oro, If he starts in the lead this even- ing there will hardly be any catching him, as Hueston plays his best when trying for all kinds of difficult shots. De Oro, on the contrary, will no doubt play a “safe” game on Hueston. pamaton Likes Open Game, Hueston does not like to play safety. Daly played considerable safety on him and Hueston ran right away from his opponent by making shots that did net look ‘‘on.” The final block of points of the match will be played Wednesday night. There has pot been much wager- ing on the result of the contest for the reason that the contest seems a hard one to pick the winner. Play will be started at 8 o'clock. Charles C. Peter- son, red ball champion, has been agreed upon ag referee. cumor has it that he will refuse to officiate for personal rea- sons. De Oro and Hueston would have considerable difficulty agreeing on a capable man, if Peterson declines.

Triple A Golf Matches. A number of golf matches between the members of the Triple A Club have been arranged, the losers of the contests to pay for a dinner to be given at the Mie- sourl A. C. on the evening of Dec. 22. All of the matches must be played by Dec. 2.
