ACCUSE STOCKHOLDERS ‘Man Who Bought’ Up Claims Asserts That Stock Wasn’t Paid For. ’ Declaring that David R. Francis, James Campbell, - Judge Henry Priest and other stockholders of the St. Louis Transit Co., owe that corporation more than $10,000,000 as the result of the sale of the company’s common stock in 1899, J. Brooks.Johnson applied to the Circuit Court Monday for the appointment of a receiver for the company. The Transit corporation was absorbed by the United Railways Co. three years ago. Johnson holds claims amounting to $30,000 against the Transit company. He fralleges in his petition that the defend- ants, Brown Bros. of New York, David R. Frantis, Henry S. Priest, Murray Carleton, W. F. Boyce, A. D. Brown, Charlies D. McClure ‘and 1000 other stockholders unknown to the_petition- er,’ received large amounts of Transit company common stock, for which they agreed to pay $26 a share. The payments, according to Johnson, were to be made on the basis of $11 in cash and one share of the common stock of the United Railways Co., then re- puted to be worth $15 a share. Wants Received to Get Money. Of the total amount of stock thus sub- scribed for, Johnson avers, Brown Bros., a New York brokerage firm, owe the Transit treasury $7,400,000; James Camp- bell and Murray Carleton, $350,000 each; W. F. Boyle, Henry 8S. Priest and Charles D. McClure, $370,000. each, and D, R. Francis the sum of $1,100,000. Johnson asks that the receiver be re- quired to collect all of these amounts: | betes. any rns pro 9 Johnson’s petition sets forth that the Transit Co. was organized in 1898 with a paid up capital of. only $3000, and that igter in the samé year this was increased to $20,000. Fermer Suit Failed. Through his attorney, John A. Gilliam, Johnson has been fighting the Transit- United Railways absorption deal in the courts for several years. - When the United Railways Co. took over the Transit company’s assets fol- lowing the announcement that the Tran- sit company had defaulted in its fixed obligations to the United Railways Co., Johnson bought up a number of claims \held by various persons against the Transit company. Louis Cella, C. A. Tillés and Samuel W. Adler were defeated in a suit simi- lar to the present one in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals.

REPLIES “Ym Cured,” ‘Impresario De- clares; “No More Women for Me.” By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, _ NEW YORK, Dec. 14.~Miss Frances Lee, who has sued Oscar Hammerstein for $100,000 \for failing to make her a grand opera star, and has made public the love letters he wrote her, says the impressario simply ‘“fooled’’ her. She thought he was a “tin god’’ because he told her’so. “Oscar was really a dear old fellow,’’ she said, reminiscently, “but oh, he used to fool me! “You see, I am so soft and isa 80 unsuspecting. Time and again he has promised to make me a great singer, to place me-above everyone, where my beautiful voice entitled me to be, and poor, soft little Frances took it all in and acted accordingly. “Time and again I have sent him away from me and told him not to both- er me if he couldn’t\help me, and he— well, Oscar just couldn't do it. He’d al- ways come back, sometimes in tears and on his knees, to be taken back— and ever with fresh promises. What could I do? I thought a great deal of. him and was always so good to him! The Way of a Man. ‘Why, I couldn’t have been treated more shamefully.

Mrs. Linden conducts a sec- ond hand furniture store on tne: East Side and also lectures on religious top- ics. The man she whipped has tried to end his life three times because of love of her. She says he has -been talking about her. The horsewhipping was done on Nickel- _— Row on Collinsville avenue near St. Louis avenue in the presence of a large crowd of nickelodeon-goers and to the accompaniment of several of the mechanical pianos which make that section of East St. Louis melodious. Shortly before the encounter on the street Mrs. Linden said to her brother, Charles Henson, as they sat in the Ave- nau Theater watching moving pictures, “T thought Danforth would be he I am going to whip him tonight,” al even if he knocks me down and tram- ples on me, don’t you interfere. I will get up and ‘whip him. I can whip him any time in a fair fist fight, but I think ‘it would be more ladylike to use the horsewhip.” Broke Whip Over Man. When they left the theater and start- ed along Collinsville avegue toward St. Louis avenue they met a trowd emerg- ing from the Lyric heater, another nickelodeon. In the crowd was Danforth, accompanying Mrs.,Calvin Haney, a widow who is a friend of Mrs. Linden. “Till get you now,"’ said Mrs. Linden, lrawing a three-foot riding whip from ‘nderneath her jacket. She lifted her arm and struck Dan- ‘rth across the face and breast several mes, the nickelodeon-goers round yout snickering in their enjoyment of he proceedings. Danforth wriggied nd dodged past Mrs. Linden, broke! into a run and ‘di@@ppeared aroiwnd~the corner. Mrs. Haney fied in the same direction. The whip had been broken to pieces and Mrs. Linden held only a stump, the handle, when she smoothed out her clothing, adjusted her hat, took her brother's arm and calmly walked home. “y understood from Mrs. Haney that isp Ab EMTS SSCS SOS SSO COA CESESS DOS OLD ECOP ETH SCOESOCOOORLS OVE OOOE SOP ESETS ys aes .

He hated to think of my becoming famous, of being admired by all, and becoming a public favorite; which, I can say modestly, I might have become if I had had my chance. “The great trouble with Oscar is that he has a bad case of swelled head. I remember once when I was taking him to task for something that had displeas- ed me, I said to him: “Why, anyone would think you are a tin god.’ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘They would be quite right. I am a little tin god.’ Now just think of that!. Why Did Oscar Ravef ‘If dear Oscar never thought \I had any voice, as he declares, why did he rave about me as he did? It is strange that a man should be willing to ‘pay $5000 in cultivating anything that does not exist. “Even $100,000 will never pay me for my blighted hopes, my lost time, the victories that might have been mine.” “Oh, dear,” exclaimed Hammerstein when Miss Lee’s statements were re- peated to him today, “is that poor woman at me again?’ “One thing sure—it has cured me of affinities, of all naughtiness, and—you bet—of wOMEN! ‘“‘T am done with ‘em—every last one, no matter how ravishing. “Why should I have to give up $100,- 000 of my hard earned money to a wom- an whom I have always provided for, as best a man can? “Why, I say, should she turn and sue me, her benefacter? That lady got a handsomé income from me every year. I have educated her completely and done the best I could to help her along in cultivating her voice. She has rendered me no operatic services that can make good her suit against me. Himmel! He Was Good to Her. “Of course, if she had had the voice I thought she had, and I had starred her and then had not paid her—then, well’ and good; but as things stand—Himmel! How can she? I have been good to her. “Tt’s all a conspiracy to get money from me.,_If Oscar Hammerstein were a shoemaker you can rest assured this ‘would never have happened. It's one of the penalties of greatness. “It’h not so long ago that the papers printed that authentic report that Miss Lee’s lessons were paid for out of the receipts of the box office of the Victoria Theater; also that a great part of this money, instead of being used for the pur- pose it was designed for, found its way into the pockets of a certain young man, the son of an ex-police captain. At = rate, it is rumored that Miss Lee thi young man very well. “There you are. sue dk ¢ Galt web a big fuse. I just keep cool. This doesn’t disturb me fn the least.

To make him answer, he said, would be to deprive him of liberty without due process _of law. One set of questions conedrnite his purchase of $28,000,000 of Illinots Central stock was as follows: Were the 90,000 shares sold by your- self, Mr. Rogers and Mr.. Stillman pooled?

Lying under his bed at the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital and placing his neck in a loop which he had made by tying the sheet to the footposts, Ernst Oster- loh of 3124 California avenue strangled himself to death. For seven years he had been book- keeper and confidential man for the Lange Publishing Co., which publishes religious books and periodicals, and he was a prominent member of the Holy Crosse Lutheran Church, He was known to his friends as being an ardent opponent of suicide. Only a week ago he said to Herman Hagedorn, at whose home he lived: “That is one thing I would never do. I can’t see how anyone could deliberately take his own life,” Three weeks ago physicians advised Osterloh to e a long vacation. They told him that his nerves had been af- fected by hard work and-that his health would\ be broken unless he should get away from the routine of his office. The state of his health worried him, but he failed to take the doctors’ ad- vice. Suntay afternoon he called Hagedorn to him. ‘I want you to take me to the Alex- ian Brothers’ Hospital,” he said. ‘‘My head feels queer and I must have treat- ment for my nerves.” At the hospital he was assigned to a private room on the fourth floor. Brother Theobald took him his supper at 6 p. m He seemeti cheerful and chatted with the brother. Apparently he was in the same good spirits an hour lafer, when the brother gave him his medicine, At 9 p. m. Brother Theobald again en-

' The report of the Interstate Com- merce Commission upon the Harriman deals made public July 13, 1907, arraigned Harriman for his “community of inter- est’’ and “harmony of management” policies, and charged the Union Paeific Railroad with “flagrant violations of the law.” Harriman Says He Expected It, NEW YORK, Dec, 14.—Mr. Harriman said in reference to the decision of the Supreme Court at Washington today that he had always been confident of such an outcome, Personally, he said, he had never had any objection te an- swering the questions asked and would have been rather glad to have done so if it had been proper; but his relation to his corporations forbade his dis- closing their confidences, except in a lewful way.

' The Kirkwood Military Academy was badly damaged by fire at noon Mon- day when the roof and a part of the second story of the building burned. The lower floor was ruined by water. The fire, which started in the roof from a defective flue, was discovered by Lieut. Edwin Hamburg, who was doing sentinel duty. He sounded the alarm, and the 80 students of the school marched out. None was injured. P. B. Kerth, one of the firemen, was painfully, theugh not seriously, hurt when a wooden shutter on a second- story window fell, striking him on the head. The building is owned by Capt. BH. A. Haight, who purchased it for the school in 12888. It is a two-story brick. . Capt. Haight was unable te say what arrangements would be made for a building until’ the structure is repaired. An effort will be made to obtain other quarters in Kirkwood.

O'Reilly, President of the Board of Public Improvements, was summoned to appear before the- Decem- ber grand jury Monday afternoon. The October grand jury, which ¢com- pleted its work 10 days ago, urged the necessity of better facilities for housing and' taking care of the prisoners at the Workhouse. The Board of Public Improvements re- cently rejected all bids for contracts for the erecting of new cell house for that institution, This was done because, according to O’Reilly’s statement, union labor object- ed to a clause in the ordinance providing that part of the work was to-be done by prisoners. It was stated at the time that a new otdinance. providing for the employment of union labor only would be intro- duced. Say Nothing, Do Nothing and— You'll be nothing.

Folk to send ‘Assistant At- torney-General Kennish to Clayton to take charge of the prosecution of Charlies Cooney and Jesse Rubeling, charged in an indictment with shooting Roy C. Woods. The petitioners request that the prose- cution of the case be taken away from Prosecuting Attorney Rowland L. John- ston, charging that he is over-anxious to go to trial with two of the most ma- terial witnesse for the State absent. . The petition states that Cooney was a saloon keeper in Wellston and that he became embittered against Woods on_ account of his activity in preventing the renewal of Cooney’s license.” John Johnston, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney; L. G. Peery, attorney for the ‘defendants; Justice I. W. Campbell and Cooney Rubeling went to Woods’ house Thursday her 8 his deposition, but he refused to give it. Political factionalism is making itself manifest in the case. Woods was iden- tified: with the Essen wing of the 8t. Louis County Republicans, while John- ston was jeader of the opposing faction. Woods was a candidate for the nomi- nation for Public Administrator. He was shot Aug. 3, the day before the primary. woRTH OF CASH VALUE TRADING SIMS 2 i cr VEN FREE Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday } Dec. 15th, 1 17 resentation of on, with - = a pte Bg amounting B0e, jens hg ux aoe bo ttle goods depar ee eerereese + eee? ee 7 e * ib Whiskey, au hond, 7 yoaty od.

An Alton burglar came near causing the death of Prof. H. T. McCrea, prin- cipal of the Lincoln School. Prof. Me- Crea went” out to mail a letter just as R. C. Havdy chased the burglar out of his home. . The burglar ran out the back way and into the arms of Prof. McCrea just as Hardy got his six-shooter into ac- tion. After a few shots had been fired the burglar slipped away and left the professor as the target. He got under an electric lanip and made his identity known just. ds Hatdy was about to shoot him: Prof. McCrea was so badly scared ‘that he did not’ try to capture the burg- lar. Amanda Maleon, a maid in the Hardy home, found the burglar in the house at 10 p. m. Saturday. She called to Mr. Hardy, but by the time he got his artillery ready for action the burglar was going out of the back gate. Prof..MeCrea said he heard the bul- lets from Hardy’s pistol whistling near his ears. while he was trying to get the burglar away from him. St, Louis’ Greatest

The persons signing them must know that the applicants are worthy and fulfill the conditions. The cards must be returned to B. A. Sturgeon, chairman, on or before noon Dec. 21, 1908,

a The gift enriches the giver, but this depends not so much on what we give as ig the manner of its bestowal. It is one of the blessings of mankind that this privilege of giving should be s0 cheap. Une gets. more of good feeling when he gives than he pays for. : The way to purchase much joy at a very low price is to give to children, and to give especially at Christmas, the general joy time. There is nothing to compare. with the beaming eyes and merry laughter of a happy child on Christmas, and nothing sq sad as a for- gotten child on\that day. There need e¢ no self consciousness in giving to a child. He needs no pre- sentation speech, na flare and flash, no patronage, just a little of the brotherly love which just cannot be held down and smothered at Christmas of all days in the year. Larger Fund Is Needed. There is great need for a larger fund to provide a Christmas dinner for the poor and toys and entertainment for .ithe children this year. ~ The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Association finds itself deluged with ap- plications for basket dinners and tickets to the dinner in the Coliseum, and every letter speaks*of men out of work and sick women and babies. All thes@é must be provided for from the fund. The supply commissioner re- ports that without exception the prices of all: commodities used in preparing the dinner and filling the baskets are higher than ever before. It is to be hoped that every one to whom a Post-Dispatch Christmas Fund contribution ist comes will place his name on it for as large a subscription as he can possibly spare. Every dollar counts this year. Every dollar that pos- sibly can be ra will be needed. Good for Children to Give. The children are doing well in the matter of subscriptions this year. In past years the children have subscribed nobly to the fund for the assistance of their brothers and sisters of the poor. One of the best lessons a child can have is that of sacrifice for the ‘poor and thought for their sorrows. Elmer Lignoul of 2206A G street, Gran- ite City, Ill., sends the fund $1. It took Elmer a long time to save this and he | augmented it with his little earnings. When, he had accumulated it, his father says, it looked-very large to him, but he sent it cheerfully to the Post-Dis- patch to help give the poor children a merry Christmas, Other children: may do as well, and in doing it experience the joy of giving.

_ Congress took no dotion ot executive wettpedion until it found in a Presidential ‘message defense of usurpation which reflected upon itself. Con- gress has Been a passive spectator of seven years Congress has seen the constitution ignored and violated. Congress has submitted numbly to Presidential threats, to Pres- idential lawlessness to Presidential assumptions of power and to Presidential caprice and has made no protest, but when the President defended ihe foutrageous abuse of the secret service under his administration by saying that Congressional 2p- position was due to fear of investigation then the legislative branch took offense. _ The misuse of the secret service, the unlawful increase in its members and the probably guilty diversion of funds for its support, bad as they are, are among the least of this administration's wrong doing. The assertion in a state paper that a@ great secret police establishment was needed to dog the footsteps of corrupt Congressmen was a mild reflection coming from a man who has slandered the people by wholesale ever since be Congress finds occasion for censure in an assault upon itself when it might long ago have found ground for impeachment in the innumerable assaults that have been made upon the constitution and the laws. Congress has been swallowing Roosevelt cameis for years, Why should it now strain at a Roose- velt. gnat? _=_ = * — MR. STONE’S WRONG IDEA. , The paramount political question in Missouri at this time is not the re-election of William J. Stone to the United States Senate, as he evidently thinks, but the right of certain persons claiming election to seats as members of the Missouri leg- islature. Whether there ‘ig a Democratic majority which will re-elect Stone or a Republican majority which will defeat him is. a question of subordinate public interest. The public is very seriously interested in knowing who have been itn fact elected to the legislature. Mr. Stone makes a iain mistake if he thinks the legislature is or should be constituted princi- pally, if not exclusively, to elect him or any other man to the Senate. Its duties are defined in the law and can be performed without his assistance. It may be added that his duties as United States Senator are also defined in the law and among them the abandonment of his seat in the Senate and taking part in election contests is not in- cluded.

he A Me A a ae ae ADAM’S AWAKENING. The strange individual calling himself Adam who fought the police in Kansas City while-in- spired from on high, confesses that when the bul- lets began to enter his flesh he had another reve- lation contradicting the other. “I ae it all,” he says, “as soon as that bullet hit me.’ It is surprising how much powen of revelation there is in a policeman’s billy, a bullet or a swift kick. Men who honestly believe taey are divinely commissioned to do or undo the works of this world see a great light when they feel a pure'y earthly impact which hurts, smarts or disturbs the despicable and higaly unspiritual thing which ds called the body. , Tt is a very bumble view of inspiration or reve- lation, but Adam’s experience, like that of many others, proves that it is correct. He knows now that he is not Adam-come-again. It is revealed to him that he is just a plain, miserable sinner like the rest of us. Adam’s experience contains a lesson for many who do not claim to b> “chosen” or “inspired’’ or “called.” When people grow moody or pettisa, when they become convinced that their friends are forgetting them, when they pity themselves and lovingly caress their real and fancied grievances; then, in the vast majority of cases, a rough shock, bodily or mental, is the best thing that can come to them. ,They are jarred out of their foolishness and recover their sanity. ha hn a

A MILLION FOR THE MERRY WIDOW. It is estimated that Franz Lehar, composer of “The Merry Widow,” which is soon to be heard in St. Louis, will receive a total of $1,000,000 in American and European royalties on that wor before its popularity shall have waned. -Mozart recetved 225 florins for his “Don Juan” score and 100 ducats for his “Figaro.” Beethoven vainly tried to sell the English rights of his “Wideta” for 50 pounds, and realized practically nothing from its production elsewhere in Europe, although it made its producers wealthy. Schu- bert, under the stress of hunger, sold several of his immortal songs for 20 cents each. The list of great composers who lived and died in poverty is not by any means completed with mention of these shining names. 7 This, then, is. the golden age for successful writers of music, and the music to be a success must be a jingle. ip. di ills - Ballooning ng has become so popular in St. Logis that ascensions are now made privately, after business hours, the excursionists getting home in time to dress for dinner.

Already his fame as a scholar '. nd preacher had reached the Massachusetts colonies. So had his reputation for ae acting as his own conscience directed, rather than following any man-made ‘rules of the Church of England, So the Puritan Colonists looked on him as an @ble but dangerous addition to their ranks. .-.. The Puritans had left England for Massachusetts, in order that they might worship God in their own way. But no sooner were they established in Amer- > fea than they refused to every one else the religious freedom they themselves - had come thither to seek. They regarded Christmas and Easter as almost heathenish festivals, thought that grimness and bigotry were the mainstays of ‘ ve ‘religion; and seemed to believe that God was pleased by sour faces, nasal voices i and cold cruelty. They banished such Catholics and Quakers as sought refuge | among them, and put crazy old women to death as witches. To kiss one’s wife ; be on Sunday they considered a crime. Also, they frowned on laughter and harmless | > amusements. Theirs was a harsh, loveless creed, not in keeping with any of the Bible's teachings. But they bred a race of hardy souls that were later to be- come the bulwarks of American liberty. _ Williams had been in Massachusetts a short time when he was charged with heresy. { the Puritans,

The idea | that Indians were human beings, and should be treated as such, was the last straw in the Puritans’ hatred against Williams.

With no Ill feeling for his past misfortunes at their hands, he helped the Massa- chusetts colony in every way in his power. Though he might by this time none pers from his labors, he re- _) mained as active in co and religious affairs as ever. he at once, at the age of 78%, rowed a heavy boat 30 miles, n Providence to Newport, to take part in a meeting. ‘Phillip s war broke out, Williams even girded on a sword, ac- pte - he was woh acy captein, and commanded a local militia company.

ROBABLY the most generous peo- a ple in the world are the very poor, who assume each other’s burdens in the crises which come so often to the hard pressed. The mother in the tene- ment falis ill and the neighbor in the next room assumes her burdens. The fa- ther loses his work, and neighbors sup- ply food to his children from their Own scanty store How often one hears of cases where the orphans are taken over and brought up by the poor friend whose benefaction means great additional hardship! This sort of genu- ine service makes the most princely gift from superabundance look insig- nificant indeed. The Jews have had for centuries a precept that one-tenth of a man’s possessions must be de- voted to good works, but even this measure of giving ts but a rough yard- stick to go by. To give a tenth of one’s income is well-nigh an impossi- bility to some, while to others it means a miserable pittance. If the spirit is there, the matter of proportion is soon lost sight of. It is only the spirit of giving that counts, and the very poor give without any self-consciousness. But I fear that I am dealing with general- ities again. The education of children in my ear- ly days may have been straightiaced, yet I have always been thankful that the custom was quite general to teach young people to give systematically of money that they themselves had’ earned. It is a good thing to lead children to realize early the importance of their obligations to others, but, I confess, it is increasingly difficult; for what were luxuries then haye become com- monplaces now. It should be a greater pleasure and satisfaction to give money for a good cause than to earn it, and I have always indulged the hope that during my life I should be able to help establish efficiency in giving so that wealth may be of greater use to the present and future generations. Perhaps just here lies the difference between the gifts of money and of service. The poor meet promptly the misfortunes which confront the home circle and household of the neighbor. The giver of money, if his contribution is to be valuable, must add service in the way of study, and he must help to attack and improve underlying con- ditions. Not being so pressed by the racking necessities, it is he that should be better able to attack the subject from a more scientific standpoint; but the final analysis is the same; his money is a feeble offering without the study. behind it which will. make its expenditure effective. Great hospitals conducted by noble and unselfish men and wemen are do- ing wonderfal work; Dut no less impor- tant: are the achievements in research that reveal hitherto unknown facts about diseases and provide the remedies by which many of them can be relieved or‘even stamped out. To help the sick and distressed ap- peals to the kind-hearted always, but to help the investigator who is striving successfully to attack the causes which bring about sickness and distregs does not so strongly attract the giver of money. The first appeals to the sentt- ments overpoweringly, but the second has the head to deal with. Yet I am sure we are making wonderful advances in this field of scientific giving. An! |

forth words of synical wisdom, and an- other to plunge into the work itself an@ through strenuous experience earn the right to express strong conclusions. For my own part, I have stood #0 much as a placid onlooker that I have not had the hardihood even to suggest how people so much more experienced | a and wise in those things than I should work out the details even of those plans with which I have had the honor to be associated. There has been a good deal of criti- cism, no doubt sincere, of experiments on living dumb animals, and the per- son who stands for the defenseless ani- mal has such an overwhelming appeal to the emotions that .« is perhaps use- less to allude to the other side of the controversy. Dr. Simon Flexner of the Institute for Medical Research has had to face exaggerated and even sensation- al reports, which have no basis of truth whatever. But consider for a moment what has been accomplished recently under the direction of Dr. Flexner in discovering a remedy for cerebro-spinal meningitis. It is true that in discover- ing this cure the lives of perhaps 15 animals were sacrificed, as I learn, most of them monkeys; but for each one of these animals which lost its Hfe, already scores of human lives have been saved. lLarge-hearted men like Dr. Flexner and his associates do not permit unnecessary pain to defenseless animals. I have been deeply interested in the story of a desperate experiment to save a child’s life, told in a letter written by one of my associates soon after the event described; and it seems an ap- propriate one to repeat in the season of rejoicing. I am therefore copying it here. , Dr. Alexis Carrel has been as- socia with Dr. Piexner and his work and his wonderful skill has been the result of his experiments and experi- ences. A Wonderful Surgical Operation. “Dr. Alexis Carrel, one of the Insti- tute’s staff has been making some in- teresting studies in experimental sur- gery and has successfully transplanted organs from one animal to another, and blood vessels from one species to an- other. He had the opportunity recently of applying the skill thus acquired to the saving of a humon life under cir- cumstances whith attracted great in- terest among the medical fraternity of this city. One of the best-known of the younger surgeons in New York hed a child born early last March, which developed a disease in which the blood, for some reason, exudes from the blood vessels into the tissues of the body and ordinarfly the child dies of this internal hemorrhage. When this child was five days old it was evident that it was dying. The father and his brother, who is one of the most distinguished men in the profession, and one or two other doctors were In consultation with ref- erence to it, but considered the case entirely hopeless. “It so happened that the father had been impressed with the work which Dr. Carrel had — doing at the In- —_—_ “It was then the middle of the night. But Dr. Carrel was called on, and when the situation was explained to him and it was made clear that the child would died anyhow, he readily consented to pt the operation, although express- ea very slight hope of its successful outcome. “The father offered himself as the person whose blood should be furnished to the child. It was impossible to give anesthetics to either of them. In a child of that age there is only one vein large enough to be used and that fs in the back of the leg and deep-seated. A prominent surgeon who was present exposed this vein. He said afterward that there was no sign of life in the child, and expressed the belief that the child had been, to all inténts and purposes, dead for 10 minutes. In view of this condition he raised the question whether it was worth while to proceed further with the attempt. The father, however, insisted upon going on, and the surgeon then exposed the radial ar- tery in the surgeon’s wrist and was obliged to dissect it back about six inches, in order to pull it out f enough to make the connection with th child’s vein. “This part of the work the surgeon who did it afterward described as the ‘blacksmith part of the job.’ He said that the child’s vein was about the size of a match and the consistency of wet cigarette paper and it seemed utterly impossible for anyone to successfully unite these two vessels. Dr. Carre however, accomplished this feat. And then occurred what the doctors who were pregent described as one of the most d atic inéidents in the history of surgery. The blood from the father's artery was released and began to flow into the child’s body, amounting to about a pint. The first sign of life was a little pink tinge at the top of oe of the ears, then the lips, which had become perfectly blue, began to change to red, and then suddenly, as though the child had been taken from a hot mustard bath, a pink glow broke. out all over its body and it began to cry lustily. After about eight minutes the two were separated. The child at that time was crying for food. It was fed, and from that moment began to eat and sleep | larly, and made a complete recovery. “The father appeared before a legisila- tive committee at Albany, in opposition to certain bills which were pending at the last session to restrict animal ex- perimentation and told this incident, and said at the close that when he saw Dr. Carrel’s experiments he had no idea that: they would 80 soon be available for saving human life; muéh less did he imagine that the life to be saved would be that of _ his own child.”’ The Fundamental Thing tn All Help. If the people can be educated to help themselves, we strike at the root of many of the evils of the grorid. This is the fundamental thing and it is worth ae even if it’: has been said so ofter!

FANS EXPECT A. A

re F ; Bresnahan Has but Remnants of Weak Team to Begin His Career as a Basebal! Manager.

BY JOHN E. WRAY, Sporting Editor Post-Dispatch. HERE will be something more needed in’ St. Louis than a-new man- ager for the Cardinals next baseball season. It is a spirit of tdlerance 3 that will permit Roger Bresnahan to work out his salvation by de- a grees. The popular idea of a new manager ls one that can transform a '@afl-end team into a championship one by simply appearing on the field, ie taking shopworn material, passing the “presto, change!’’ gesture and lo! | @here. is pennant-bearing product ready for business. , | Aba matter of fact, if Mr. Bresnahan @an take the enfeebled Cardinal team 28 it stands today and make it anything ‘like a fifth place club he will deserve all He cost Robison—about $25,000 worth : _ F-playins material. * Bresnahan will not have a pennant team next year. -or| what the Browns need—a man, \strength and they fall just short of like Walsh, on whom the team can rely in real emergenciés—a court of last resort from which opponents can have no ap- peal; a pitcher who is day in and day enemy to a low average of hits off his delivery. One such man would have made the Browns last year. A great deal is being expected of Criger, in the matter of improving the Browns’. pitching department. Now Criger will be stepping in’ to handle a bunch of wise old ones, most of whom are quite able to handle their own games. And what Criger could teach Bailey, Criss and the possibilities that Jack O’Cornor could not is negligible. Criger behind that Dat might steady down these youngsters, but that seems to be the limit of what he can do to actually help the present Browns’ pitch- ing staff. /;But Lou’s head for the rest of the game will be a potent factor, and his weight in baseball balance will be an appreciable per cent.

According to the contract, Jeanette is in six battles with men of ‘any weight, while Lewis will fight 10 Centests with pugilists weighing be- tween 150 and, 160 pounds.

TOMMY SULLIVAN MAY NEED OLD CUNNING TO WIN , A Local Fighter Likely to Find Tough Opponent in Battle With Jimmy McNeill.

“Brooklyn” Tommy Sullivan may run against a tarter when he meets Jimmy McNeill in a lb-round bout at Little Rock, Ark. tomorrow evening. Sullivan has resided in St. Louis for over five, years while McNeill has made his home in this city for over a year. Both men have quite a number of friends who are interested in the bout. When Sullivan agreed to fight Mc- Neill, he did not think he was taking much of a chance. Sullivan has not been doing any fighting to speak of for several years. He is not in the best of trim and many who following boxing bouts declare that his day as one of the best 128 pound men in the country has passed. McNeill and Sullivan are both at Lit- tle Rock, having departed last week. Before his departure, McNeill declared that while he is confident he will stop Sullivan, he did not wish to be quoted as saying so as he feared that Sullivan might not box him. McNeill, as soon as the match was made about ten days ago, went into traineng at Kirkwood. Every day he was out on the road and in the afternoon boxed, wrestled and in other ways got himself in good trim. Has a Strong Record. McNeill is 2% years of age and claims to have fought 20 amateur bouts and 19 professional contests. He won and lost to Jewey Cook on decisions when that boxer was good; drew with Pedler Pal- mer in 15 rounds; defeated Rudolph Un- holz in 16 rounds and also won from other good men. Up to a few days hefore going south, | Sullivan did but little work for the bat- tle. He figured McNeill easy until told by his friends that the little English- man had quite a record. Then Sullivan started road work and boxing. Sullivan is in anything but ithe bes® of condi- tion. He is_clever, but if he does not get to McNeill with a knockout punch early in the bout, McNeill is likely’ to give him a good battle. The men will Weigh in at 128 pounds. May Meet Good Ones. Owen Moran, Freddie Welsh and other English boxers have come té the front lately. If McNeill makes good against Sullivan he will have no trouble getting matches. On the contrary, if Sullivan wins he will in all probability box Jimmy Dunn of Newcastle, Penn., at Hot Springs on Christmas Day, after which he will try to get Hasty Trendall, the “Pride of the Patch,” to box him at a club on the Hast Side, the men having already signed articles to meet before the club offering the largest purse. oe —- LOCAL BOXERS IN BIG TOURNEY ON EAST SIDE Marshall Baton, Leo Kelly, Paddy Carroll and other fast amateur boxers

CUE EAPERTS 10 BEGIN ftD BALL TOURNEY TONIGHT Strongest Players of the Coun- try Are Entered in Games at the Pine Hall.

What promises to be one of the live- liest billiard events of the ] 1 season will open this evening, when a red ball tournament is to be inaugurated at the Pine Billiard Hall. Some of the best billiard players in the country are en- tered. The men who will meet in the opening match will be decided upon this afternoon. Harry Cline, Charles Peterson, Albert Cutler, John Daly, Frank Day, John Horgan and Joe Capron are the men who will compete. All of them are pro- fessionals who have had yeafs of ex- perience and Cline and Peterson figure when in form to give any man_a hard match at the red ball style. Peterson: is the present champion at the game, hav- ing won in a tournament in which the majority of the players competing in the present event were entered. There has been considerable wager- ing on the result of the tournament. Cline has been made the favorite to win at 2 to 1, with Peterson second choice at 3 to 1. While it is generally expected that the fight for the gold emblem to be awarded to the winner with a cash prize will be between these two men, there are two other players in the tour- nament who should make a strong fight for the prize. They are John Daly, for- mer three-cushion champion, and Albert Cutler. Daly is one of the best shot makers at billiards in the country. His only weak point is masse shots. The “Irish Count” has other ways of mak- ing difficult points ‘besides masses, how- ever, Cutler is a top-notch balk line expert. When he gets the ivories together he is generally guod fora big run, ¢ MRS, W.T, BURNS National Correspondent of W. R. C. Suffered from Nervousness and a General Breakdown— Caused by a Cold.

BRESNAHAN GLAD DEAL IS CLOSED New York’s Star Catcher Expects to Make a Winner for Stan- ley Robison.

TOLEDO, O., Dee. ..*Roger Bresna- han, former crabk catcher of the New York Giants, who has been traded to the St. Louis National League club for Outfielder Schlei, Pitcher Raymond and Murray of St. Louis, is greatly pleased with the deal. When seen at the Boody House voles tive to the trade, Bresnahan said: ‘‘Iam very thankful to Brush and McGraw for allowing me to get away and go to St. Louis. It has always been my ambition since I became @ baseball player to sorhe day bécome a manager, and the height of my alu>‘ftion has now been realized. My relations with the New York club and Manager McGraw have always been the friendliest and it is with regret and only pleasant memories that I leave New York. I had the chance, however, to become manager of the §t. Louis Cardi- nals and, of course, tried to secure my release from the Giants In o to bet- ter myself and realize my ambition. I am exceedingly thankful to the New York club for allowing me my release St. Louls is one of the best ball towns ia the country and with a winning team will be one of the best-paying clubs in the circuit. I have nothing to say in regard to my immediate plans for the St. Loufs Cardinals until I have had a conference ‘with M. 8.
