By a Staff. Cperampoancat of the Post. Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 3.—Gov. Hadley’s ideas of a home rule police system for St. Louis are embodied i1 two bills introduced by Senator Krone ‘of St. Louls today. The salient features’ of the are: 1. The Board of Police Commis- fioners will continue to consist of five members. one to be appointed by the Governor ‘and four by the ‘Mayor. 2 Not more than two of the * Mayor's appointees shall belong to “the same party... 3. The Mayor has‘power to remove his appointees for official miscon- duct or neglect, while the Governor has: like power over all the commis- sloners, 4. The President of the Board, at $5000 a yéar, shall devote his entire time, to the general supervision of the police force, acting, however, # an officer of the Board under its direction and subject to its power of removal, 6. While the custodian of tts prop- erty, he is required to make police insp and must inquire into so- clal conditons to ascertain the causes of crime and the means of its prevention. 6. Civil service is provided for, ‘with competitive examinations, and promotion on merit and through senority of service; but while the Outlines are prescribed, it is left for the board to fill in the details. 7. The board must so make its future appointments that not more than onme~half of the probationary patroimen, sergeants and turnkeys shalt belong to the same political party, but mo such restriction is’ imposed as to licutenants, captains and other high officers. 8. All members of the force are rohibited from belonging to any / elub or contributing to one, Neith- er shall the. police solicit or inter- fere at, election. The patrolmen are divived into three Classes, those of the first-year service * to receive $850, those of the second year : ‘$980, and those of the third year $1089. _. The whole police force is to be carried ‘over in ite present personne) without re- _ &ppointments, so the new law makes no change in this respect. Excise Home Rule Also. Senator Krone also introduced a bill providing for home rule of the Ex- ' tise Commissioncr's office. “This bill,” said Senator Krone, “ssmply transfers the appointing pow- rs from the Governor to the Mayor with a teserved power of removal in a Governor. for official misconduct egilect, fore going take the matter sys- e siete thease I wes strongly in favor of giving both petitioners and re- * wonstrancers a right to appeal or re- view gn the decision of the Commis- tioner.

“HOME OF THE FRIENDLESS,” ME FOR THAT, SAID TRAMP AS HE CURLED UP ON SOFA But Matron Had Him Arrested De- spite Protests That He Was “Friendless.”’ oe As Edward Kelley, homeless and cold, walked aimlessly Tuesday ‘night he saw the sign ‘“‘Home of the Friendless”’ over a doorway at 4431 South Broadway. The place was all lighted up and looked warm and cozy. “Me for the home of the friendiess,”’ said Kelley, and he walked in. - Novene was in sight, so he madtr himself at home. He stretched out on a sofa in the parlor and went to sleep. Dora Dawson, the matron, found hin: snering there when she came in a half- hour later. She awakened him and asked him to please go out. “What? said Kelley; ‘“‘me get out? Ain’t this the home of the friendless?’’ “It is, but you must leave.” . “That's a joke.”’ said Kelley, as he fel! back on the cushions and gave a grunt of content. Miss Dawson called a policeman and had Kelley arrested. .In the Wyoming District Police Court Wednesday Judge Kleiber fined Kelley $10. As Kelley turned to go, he remarked: “But I do think they ought -to take that sign from ever the door.’’ SHEETS MOST BE NINE FEET LONG IF THIS BILL PASSES | House .Gets. 103 Measures in First Hour, Many Aimed to Reg- ulate Saloons. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 3.—The House reached the introduction of bills this morning, and when the Speaker announced it, practically the whole of the Assembly was on its feet, each member shouting for recognition. Mitch- ell of Polk gained the distinction of getting in bill No. 1, which provided for prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors. When the rush was over 103 bills had been introduced. One prohibits office- holders from being interested in saloons, and another is aimed at ballplaying on Sunday. Bills were also introaquced in the Sen- ate to compel innkeepers to furnish sheets nine feet long to their guests, anc xing the rates for pnerths in sleeping cars at $1 for upper and $1.50 for lowers.

‘chief 16 ST. LOUISANS NAMES USED IN LAND FRAUDS -_ None Knew’ That the Big Deal to Get 386 Lots in Muskogee Was On.

BOOGHER TELLS PLAN

Governor Haskell’s Company Made Transfers After the Lots Were Awarded.

«The names of 16 St. Louisans were used in the entering of lots in the towns of Muskogee and Okmulgee in Oklahoma, which were later transferred to a com- pany organized by Gen. Pleasant Porter, of the Creek Nation, Gov. C.. N. Haskell of Oklahoma, Clarence Turner, W. R. Eaton and Charles Duffy, a transaction which a Federal Grand Jury in Muskogee is now investigating on the theory that the company was formed as a part of a conspiracy to defraud the Government. James Avery Webb, a St. Louis attor- ney, and a brother-in-law of former Gov. Folk, and John C. Wilkinson, once president of the Missouri Trust Com- pany, have been called by the Grand Jury to be questioned about names they are said to have obtained. Webb in Muskogee. Wilkinson has been before the grand jury, while Mr. Webb is now in Muskogee for that purpose. Mr. Wil- kinson, who is now in Warrensburg. Mo., on business, said to a reporter for the Post-Dispatch, over the long-dis- tance telephone, that he had no state- ment to make regarding -the~-Muskogee land matters, and that he did not intend to discuss the case. None of the St. Louisans were aware at the times their names were used what was being done, it is said. Twelve of the 16 are: Howard Boogher, presi- dent of the Boogher, Force & Goodbar Hat Co.; William T. Wilkinson, Marga- ret E. Wiikinson, James C. Wilkinson, Dr. Fayette Ewing, Minerva Webb, V. J. Webb, Stanley D. Pearce, J. G. MceCon- key, William F. Scott, M. C. Webb and John C. Wilkinson. Dispatches from Muskogee say there is no question of forgery before the grand jury, but that there has been evi- dence of the forgery of names of sev- eral men from Nashville, Tenn. Se far as is known there has been no charge of forgery in connection with the St. Louisans. ° Howard Boogher recently returned from Muskogee, where he testified be- fore the grand jury. To a reperter of the Post-Dispatch Mr. Beogher said: “At the time the two townsites were laid out they embraced farms owned by a number of persons who had improved them. Some had erected buildings. It Was the idea of the ag haere offi- cials that these persons Sliould not lose all their improvements, and it was ar- ranged tnat they shoul’ be permitted to enter lets in the towns at ene-half the assessed valuation, while persons who had not settled on that land were com- pelled to pay the full valuation. There was also a law that no company or col- lection of persons should. be permitted to file on a large number of lots. Boogher Already Testified, “Gen. Pleasant Porter, Clarence Tur- ner of Muskogee and others had settled on some of this property. They organ- ized a company, which also included Gov. Haskell, W. R. Baton and Charles Duffy. The plan adopted was to enter the lots in the names of many differen: people, then to transfer them through several parties to a trustee for the com- pany. This would place the preperty under control of the company. “T understand that in all there were 386 lots so obtained. Authorities Knew of Deal. ‘‘My information, gathered at this late day through inquiries in Muskogee, is that the townsite commission had fui! knowledge of the transactions and how it was being done. In fact, there was no effort to conceal it, as the transfers were made on paper bearing Haskell’s name. I am satisfied these men though; they had aperfect right to do what they did. “As far as the use of my name is con- cerned, I have no recollection of ever giving anybody permission to file on a lot for me. It has been a long time ago, and I may have done so. I have no recollection of ever giving a quit- claim deed to my lot, but I may have done that. When I was im Muskogee I asked the Haskell people to show me my signature on a deed, but they did not do so. Other persons who had no recollection of signing deeds, were shown thelr signatures, however, showing the matter had passed out of their minds,” Dr. Fayette C. Ewing said: “At the time this matter was being pushed I was living for a short time at the home of a friend, at one time a banker, whose name I will not give be~ cause of my high regard for his family. He told me one day he nad ~—— my name aa a lot. Mr. t x

Until she went to St. Charles FE. Pickert under the chaperon- age of Cupid, she was Miss Ora Dell Keese.

a os Plaintiff Got $50 Judgment Against the Prison - er for Slander and to Pay It the Latter Refused or Costs.

The board and lodging of Harry id seph, a prisoner for debt in the Belle- ville Jail, is being paid for at the rate of $1.50 a day by Harry Rosenburg, who had him put there. They are rival clothing .merchants at Lebanon, Ill. Rosenberg sued Joseph for $2000, alleging that Joseph slandered him and said things about him which injured his credit as a.»merchant. Before the case went to trial there wag an agreement by which Rosenberg accepted a judgment of against Jo- seph. But he didn’t get the money. Refused to Pay Judgment. Joseph refused to pay, alleging that he did not have any property above the value of $400, which was exempt from }judgment under the law. To make matters worse for Rosenberg? the Court decided that as Joseph had no seizable assets the costs in the case, amounting to $38.30. would have to be paid by the plaintiff. So, instead of being $60 result of the litigation, out money. “Isn't there any way I can get even with him?” he asked his lawyer. “Yes, you might use a capias ad sat- isfaciendum on him.” “Is that a single-barreled or a doublé- barreled weapon?’’ “Single, I think. the lawyer.

Business is bad anyway, and I might as well loaf in jail.” Joseph’s imprisonment has presented a strange legal tangle to members of the Belleville bar. It is the first time the statute has ever been enforced in St. Clair County and lawyers are talking of nothing else. Prisouer Is Happy. Joseph himself is not asking for legal advice. “I'll stick and make Rosenberg spend his mdney on me,” he says. “What could I do?” said Rosenberg to a Post-Dispatch reporter over the long- distance telephone. “He wouldn't pay me. “Yes, board, I've got to spend money for his But when I get rad | don't ‘“‘He talks bad about me.

LEFT CITY -TOGETHER

St. Louis Woman and Maga- zine Writer Went to New York at Same Time.

The controversy between two women as to which is the legal wife of Brough- ton Brandenburg, magazine writer, has developed the fact that one of the wom- en is the Minnie Leonard Cabanne against whom James Shepard Cabanne, scion of a noted St. Louis family, has a divorce suit pending in the Circuit Court here. It is now known to the Comacios fam- ily that Mrs. Cabanne left St. Louis in company with Brandenburg, but her St. Louis husband, who has just re- turned from an out-of-town trip, has not yet been informed that Mrs. Caban- ne now says that she obtained a di- vorce from him and married Branden- burg. In a letter to a St. Louis attorney Mrs. Cabanne, now styling herself Mrs. Brandenburg, says that she obtained a divorce in British Honduras and mar- ried Brandenburg there. On this in- formation Cabanne’s divorce papers were served on her as “Mrs. Branden- burg.”’ Writer Has Disappeared. Brardenburg and the St. Louis woman who says she is his legal wife have been living at 62 West Ninth street, New York. Brandenburg, under a charge of lar- ceny in connection with his acceptance of payment for an article purporting to be by Former President Clevelapd, has disappeared, ‘jumping his bond. In explanation of his action, the Mrs. Brandenburg at the West Ninth street house issued a statement that his rea- son for Reappearing was that he had no money. Having seen this statement, Mrs. Va- line Brandenburg came forward. with the statement that she was the lawful wife of the writer and that he had nev- er obtained a divorce from her. Mrs. Minnie Leonard Cabanne-Bran- denburg denied the claim of Mrs. Valine Brandenburg and told of her divorce from Cabanne and her marriage to Brandenburg. : Wome2n Refuses to Give Details. A dispatch from New York says: “‘Mr. Brandenburg and I are mar- ried,’ said Mrs. Minnie Leonard Cab- anne Brandenburg, apparently oblivious of the fact that, despite her explana- tion, she was adding the charge of bigamy to the others of which Brand- enburg has been accused. ‘**We were married in another coun- try and our marriage was legal there. No, I shall not tell in what country it was. And, inasmuch as his marriage to this woman who denies my right to his name was not legal and binding on Mr. Brandenburg, and inasmuch as I ob- tained a divorce from my husband, I am the only Mrs. Brandenburg. “‘T shall not tell] either where I ob- tained my divorce from “Shep’’ Cab- anne. He never heard of it and doesn't know it now. But it was a perfectly good divorce.’ “The self-styled Mrs. Brandenburg is the daughter of Simeon Leonard, who died suddenly at his home in Eddyville, Ky., four years ago, after his once large fortune had dwindled to almost nothing. “When Brandenburg separated from his wife in 1906 he went to St. Louis and it is said brought Mrs. Cabanne to New York. She had lived here for several years with her sister, the wife of Edwir Bliss, where Brandenburg met her. When he brought her from St. Louis he also brought Cabanne’s little son, who has only recently been returned to his father by Mrs. Cabanne-Brandenburg.”’ Separated From First Wife. Valine Brandenburg, who contests Mrs. Minnie Leonard Cabanne’s claim as wife of Brandenburg, announced in New York in July, 1906, that she and her husband had separated and that so far as she was concerned there could be no reconciliation. “T shall never again,’’ she said. j but all is over between us. sue for a divorce.”’ She said that the trouble began at a camping expedition to Greenwood Lake, a New York summer resort. “This camping party grew out of an early morning walk which Brandy and I took through Central Park to give our dogs an airing,’’ she said. “We met a man ani his wife who had a pair of fine lels. With the dogs as a basis, we struck ‘up an acquaintance and ex- changed visits. “A short time later a sister of this woman came to visit her. She was young, handsome and married, and her home in St. Louls.

CAUTION were made, she was invited to accom- pany us.’ Arrested on Wife’s Complaint. Mrs. Brandenburg would not go into details as to what happened at the lake, but she said the party was suddenly broken up. The St. Louis woman left the camp and Brandenburg departed, saying he was going away ‘for a long rest,”’ His wife said that he went to Spring- field, Ill., and later to St. Louis. He was at the Hamilton Hotel here when his wife’s statement was published. “My wife and I separated because of differences of long standing, which in no way decreases our esteem for each otber,”’ he said. ‘In the Jefferson Market Police Cuurt in New York, in June, 1908, Branden- burg was arraigned to answer a charge of abandoning his wife, Valine. In defense he said on the witness stand that though’ he and the woman were married by.a minister, the mar- riage was not legal, because at the time of the ceremony she was the legal wife of Josiah Elser. “That’s c ile,” she said. “I obtained «a Civyorce and can prove it.”’ She later withdrew her complaint.

The girl at firat declared that her mother had given her to the man. -Under sharp questioning, shé ®roke down and said Janese had lured her away by prom- ises. Janere was found in a barroom, in such condition that little could be learned from him. To the police the girl gave her age as 11. She said that jJanere told her if anyone asked who he was to say he was her father. Sherlock Swann, president of the po- lice board, who took a personal interest in the case, telephoned Gov. Crothers requesting him to refuse extradition. Janere will have a hearing this after- noon, when it is expected the charge of felonious assault, which is a capital of- fense in this State, will be made against him. A conviction could carry a sen- tence ranging from 18 months to life im- prisonment or death by ‘hanging. There have been several cases in which the death penalty was legally carried out.

and Post-Dispatch — ~~ =. F Aeronauts Believe Offer of New York World Will Greatly En- courage Experience in Aviation.

Special Cable From the Paris Bureau of the Pest-Dispatch, (Copyright, Be by the > Co.) w York World. PARIS, Feb. yma a sore of the Aviation Committee of the Aero Club de France the $10,000 prize offered by the New York World and Post-Dispatci: to aeronauts excited a most animated discussion. Opinion was unanimous that the prize will greatly encourage experi- ments and should cause a most interest- ing contest. The Aero Club de France has not yet been officially notified of the offering of the prize so it was not possible to take official cognizance of it, but many of the members had much to say as inéi- viduals in praise of the public spirit and enterprise of The World and Posi- Dispatch. Louis Bleriot, one of the most daring aviators in France, said he considered the prize a worthy stimulus for aero- nauts. His chief regret was that he probably could not get his aeroplane sufficiently perfected to enter the con- test. , Robert Esnault Pelterie is anxious to learn all the conditions that will gov- ern the contest. This young engineer has constructed a monoplane which is most interesting of its type,,but he ad- mits he would be unable to make the distance between New York and Albany in a single flight. He believes that the victory will go to a dirigible balloon. Henry Kapferer, the pilot of the cele- brated dirigible the Ville de Paris, was at the meeting of the aviation corfimit- tee and was one of the most enthusiastic

in his praise of the prize. There is no doubt that he would be a most danger- ous competitor for the American entry, but the heavy expense of bringing a great airship like the Ville de Paris to America may prevent him from en- tering the contest. Nearly every member of the commit- tee agreed that it is quite possible for the prize to be won on the terms, laid down for the race. The hope was freely expressed that the offer would be kept open indefinitely if the prize is not won next October. \ ANDREW W.

CRIES ON Breaks Down as She Describes Quarrels With Her Hus- band. — — Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1909, the Press Pub. Co. (New ork World.) EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Stirling occupied the witness stand dur- ing the entire session yesterday and she was a pathetic figure. More than once she completely broke down while narrating her domestic troubles. At one point she let her head drop upon the table in front of her and for some time kept it buried in her muff and hands. When she raised her head tears were gtreaming down her cheeks. ‘By the aid of a glass of water and a | liberal use of smelling salts she eventu- ally became calmer, and then she told how, on her return to Cheshire street, her husband accused her of wrecking his whole life and said that although she could stay in the same house with him if she liked, he did not want to live with her; she might be a sort of upper housekeeper. As an alternative, if she left he was willing to settle $3000 a year on her. Made Fun of Her Grief. Another scene occurred when Mrs. Stirling appealed to the Court against her brother-in-law, Douglas Stirling. “I don't see, My Lord,” she said, weeping, ‘why he should sit over there and make fun of my grief.’’ The Judge sympathetically advised her to direct her attention to counsel’s ques- tion, and eventually, on advice of friends, Douglas left the courtroom. Mrs. Stirling denied that she had promised to give a confession to an at- torney for Mr. Stirling, who talked with her after her retyrn from America in August of last year. “There is nothing to confess,’’ she de- clared, “‘and the word confession never was used.’’ Continuing, she said that the state- ment made by Mrs. Atherton last week _that she had purchased a revolver and declared she would shoot Lord North- land unless he married her was a fabrt- cation. She admitted having purchased a pistol last September, after she had teft her husband and was so thoroughly istPible that she contemplated taking her own life. — /. Defends Her Conduct. The general purport of Mrs. Stirling’s evidence was that there was a conspira- cy to throw her and Lord -Northland togéther. “Denying that she ever had shad any improper relations with North- land, she added: “If I was guilty of misconduct, no - one could blame me, because if ever a woman was thrown at.a man’s head, I was thrown at Lord Northland’s.” On cross-examination Mrs. Stirling ad- mitted. @riving and dining alone. with Lerd Northland.

GOVERNOR VETOES BILL TO PROHIBIT LIQUOR TRAFFIC Tennessee Executive Tells Lawmakers They Might as Well Legislate Against Crops.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. . 3.—Gov. Patterson today vetoed the bill pro- hibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquors in Tennessee after Jan, 1, 1910. The veto says: “If this Legislature shall destroy all the distilleries and breweries, why can- not it next forbid the raising or selling of the grafns or cultivation of the grapes out Jf which liquors are made? “Shall this or some future Legisla- ture prevent the farmer from raising or selling tobacco or the manufacturer from placing it on the market? If we are thus started, where shall we end? It is better not to make the start. “I veto this measure: “First—Because it ruthlessly deprives the State of revenue without any sort of corresponding benefit. “Second—It discriminates against our own people in favor of the people of other states. “Third—It destroys the property of the citizen without compensation. “‘Fourth—It makes a dangerous prece- dent, humiliates Tennessee and lowers the place of dignity she has occupied as one of the proudest and most con- servative states of the Union. “Fifth—It violates the will of the people twice expressed at the ballot-box; offends against their sense of justice and under the pléa of civic righteous- ness, sacrifices a great moral principle of government at the very altar where it should be guarded and defended.”’ It is a foregone conclusion that the bill will be passed over the Governor's veto.

I was forced to feign a bereavement in order to gain admittance to Mrs. Gabler’s cozy Maple avenue flat, and then afterward to promise to treat in all seriousness and consideration their enterprise, receiving no information re- garding it at all. The condition of widowhood is most pitiable and forlorn, according to Mrs. Gabler’s mental picture of it. Her eyes are deep wells of sympathy, and dim- ples and coquetry return to her lips only when she talks of the plans of her club. She has a soulful temperament, which is visible upon the surface. She writes love songs and sings them, too, and even her thoughts, it would seem, are set to music. “Tragedies are revealed in many of the letters which have éome to us,’’ she skid. “It is so easy for a woman to give herself up tO @ great grief and rieglect hér person, her house and her children. When a vision appears of such a shipwrecked life, with an arm reaching out for any sort of fragment to keep it afloat, semething should be done to.rescue that woman. We have had such glimpses. Others long for a revief to pent-up feelings, but there is a minor chord to be heard even in the gayest of them. Something should be done te benefit these people.

For Weak Kidneys The formula here given has the en- dorsement of high medical authority as being one that will produce quicker and more permanent results than any other combination for the restoration of the kidneys to their normal func- tions. It will speedily relieve backache, rheumatic pains, frequent and highly colored urination, general debility, etc. The formula is as follows: “Half ounce fluid extract oa half ounce Murax compound; ure gin, six ounces; shake ” gg bottle well each time and use in doses of one or two teaspoonfuls after each meal.” Any good druggist will put up this rescription or it can be mixed at ome. The kidneys are sponge+dike organs and act as filters to strain the waste matter and uric- acid from the blood. If these filters become clogged the poi- son remains in the blood and disas- trous results follow quickly. Bright’s disease, chronic rheumatism and dia- betes are caused directly from inactive kidneys. * *'* Ivernia Corliss-Coon Coll OTS 225 Retain Their Style Laundry Successfully Combat * At Best Furnishers HIié WIFE URGED HIM To send his laundry toa first-class and up-to-date laundry, and rec- ommended the one that does the highest-class work, which was, we ) are glad to say, Imperial [raundey ets BRI TOO WEAK TO WORK __. | Suffered From Stomach Trouble and General Debility.

WILL NOT RISK SUPPLY Governor Thinks Consumers’ Interests Are Foremost, Those of Trust Incidental. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 3.—Attor- ney-General Major today filed in the Supreme Court a suggestion that the State be allowed to be represented, either in oral arguments or by filing a brief, if the Gourt decides to have a hearing on the motion filed yesterday by the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana. The document does not reveal the ex- act stand to be taken by the State, but it is thought that the Attorney-General] will endeavor to have enforced the points agreed upon in last night's con- ference on the case at the Executive Mansion. These points, in brief, are: First—that there must be an increase in the fines levied against the company and its subsidiaries if the Court is dis- posed to modify the detree of ouster, and, Second—There must be some provision for effective supervision of the oil busi- ness by the State, whether along the lines suggested by the companies or otherwise. Can Only Make Suggestions, ‘‘We are in this situation,’’ the Attor- ney-General said after the conference. “The child has been found guilty of a serious offense. The parent as repre- -}Jsented by the Supreme Court is about to administer punishment. It is not up to us to enter any plea on behalf of the offender. But if the punishing power sees fit to hear his plea for clemency suggestions by us might then be proper. “In an ordinary oase the defendant would attack the law and then we would have to file briefs and fight it out on that ground. In this cage there is only an appeal for mercy. Nothing is said about the fine because the cOmpany is perfectly willing to pay the fine if it can escape the more severe punishment. “Tt now becomes a question which must be dealt with rrom but one stand- point and that is the interest of the people ef the State. It may be that driving the Standard out of Misso would interfere with our people getting the oi] and in that case it may be bet- ter to let a Missouri corporation transact the business of selling ofl with thé plants and equipment now in use and under the supervision of the State. Our policy will be to regard the public in- terest. The interest of the trust is wholly incidental.” The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., of New York, Issues Statement of Its gen Be End of The stetropolitan 1 Life "Insurance Com- pany of New York has issued a state- ment of its standings at the end of the past year, and the magnitude of the business transacted can hardly be com- prehended by its many thousands of pol- icy holders. The statement shows that the company still carries more policies and distributes more benefits than any other institution of its kind in the country. The total amount of the outstanding policies at the end of 1908 amounted to $1,861,890,808, and the no less astounding fact that 4uring the business hours of every day an average of 6348 new policies were is- sued and paid for. Every day, averaging for the year, 441 persons received thé full value in case benefit from the company. Statistics show that a policy holder dies evéry six minutes, and during busi- ness hours the company pays a claim on $100,000,000 of United States bonds, city ponds and railroad stocks and bonds; more than $90,000,000 of bonds and mort- gages; more than $22,000,000 of real estate and other tangible property is owned by the company, all held available for the payment of its obligations. The exact number of policies carried by the company is 9,960,106, and were al] the holders gotten together they would constitute a population greater than the 12 largest cities in the Union.

CARTOON PLAY SUCCESS Henry Miller in “The Great Divide”’ at Century—Oth- er New Offerings.

Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed, the most pop- ular young married couple in America, and their famous baby, Napoleon, will celebrate their fourth anniversary when, next Sunday, they begin their engage- ment in St. Louis, the birthplace of clever Géorge McManus, the cartoon- ist who created them. Four years ago the first of the New- lywed cartoons appeared in the Post- Dispatch and the New York World, at- taining instant popularity, and since that time they have become the most successful cartoon series known in _ull history. Though just plain Americans of moderate income, the Newlyweds have had a most distinguished carcer, including a brilliant reception at two foreign courts, and have delighted mil- “ffons with the wholesome humor ot George McManus’ imagining. Little Napoleon is an especial favorite and is now a household idol in thousands of homes. The great popularity of the cartoons appealed to Leffler & Bratton, a big musical comedy producing firm of New York City, and they arranged with Mr. McManus for a stage production of “The Newlyweds and Their Baby.” Aaron Hoffman and Paul West, well- ————— Se cemmrener itenan on eomeeet > again DISCOVE t of teeth Feb. 12 to make them for

DEMOCRATS AND - REPUBLICANS TO KNIFE DELEGATE Defeat of Almost Entire Membership of House.

] One or Possibly Two Republi- : cans Slated for Renomina- tion by Powers.

The Democratic and Republican city Ridsimiticee have undertaken to clean wp the House of Delegates. If the plans of the rival political organizations. are _ Carried out not more than two, or pos- ey one, of the present members of the House will be re-elected. E. J. Paule, Republican, of the iow enth Ward, is slated for renomination. The record of Delegate F. W. Tirre, also Republican, of the Fifteenth Ward, is under investigation, to determine wheth- e er’ he should be renominated. He is a - member of the House combine ind his - record has been severely criticised by _ persons who have had the House of Del- | Cates under surveillance. --' fhe Democratic committee has decid- _@@-to retire every one of its members, fot becaulke some of them have bad rec- ords, but because under the exigencies ' of a delicate situation there is nothing elise they can do. Several of the House -@ombine members have decided to try ‘again for renomination and re-election. Gallagher of the Third Ward and Weid- _ mer of the Thirteenth Ward, both want to: run. Gallagher has been a member of the combine all along, but Wejdmer, who was at the head of the combine in the fermer House, has been recently let into the existing combine. - CGomvention for Republicans. The Republicans will nominate their _ Heuse of Delegates candidates in a con- vention composed of delegates from ev- - ‘ery ward. If ‘the organization succeeds fn controling the conventien, as now _ geems probable, it can prevent the re- * momination of any Republican members ‘ of the House whose record condemns them. The Democrats are to nominate See their candidates for the House by direct ward primaries, and they are likely to an some trouble. ' There is now no indication of a Re- TeutiBoan revolt, but It is not certain there will not be.

BRAW SCOT TRAMP FLINGS SANDWICH IN MAID’S FACE Hits Her, Too, and Dances AWway Behind Hf Highland Dia- : lect. A braw Scot did a Highland fling when the negro cook at Dr. M. C. Marshall’s home, 4262 Westminster place, handed him a ham sandwich. He flung’ the sandwich in her face. “These are muckle hard times,” he remarked in a voice with a Harry Lauder burr, ac Mrs. Marshall answered his ring at the door on the Boyle avenue side of the house. ‘I’m aboot doon and oot.”’ “Poor man,’’ murmured the sympa-

thetic woman. “Just go around to the back door and the cook will give you something. O, Lulu,” she called to the negress, “give the man a sandwich. Lulu did so, and an instant later the neatly prepared sandwich struck her between the eyes. Something else also struck her. She says it was the Scotch- man’s fist, and that one of her teeth Was loosened and she was knocked down. , I'm kilt,” she wailed. “Dinna ye say kilt to me,” growled the Scot. “I dinna wear kilts noo.” And he strode away like Norval over the Grampian Hills.

A REASONABLE INDICATION OF THE DESERVED POPULARITY of its plang and of faith in its management may be fairly claimed in the number of Metro- politan policies in force. It is not only greater than that of any other company in America, but greater than that of all the other regular companies combined, less one. It exceeds, in fact, the COMBINED POPULATION of 24 of the States and Territories out of the 52 form- ing the American Union; and as to CITIES, it exceeds the combined population of Greater New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New Orleans and Buffalo. :

The Metropolitan paid its Policy-holders in 1908 for Death Claims, Endowments, Annuities, Paid-up Policies, Divi- dends, Bonuses, etc., with the amount set aside on their behalf as increased Reserve $50,656, 701.34 It has paid to its Policy-holders since organization, plus the. amount invested and now on hand for their security $47 0,366,769.36

The Metropolitan has more premium, paying ee in force in the United States than any other company. The Metropolitan has in force one-third of all the legal reserve policies in force in the United States. Its Industrial policies in force nearly equal in number all the Industrial policies of all the other companies in the country combined.

ORDINARY DEPARTMENT INSURANCE IN FORCE, $526,939,378 The Cgmpany issues policies for from $1, 000 to $1,000,000 on individ- ual lives, premiums payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually. All policies are non-participating. They are plain business contracts which tell their whole story on their face; leave nothing to the imagination ; borrow nothing fom hope; require definite conditions and make definite promises in dollars and cents. PREMIUMS ARE LOWER THAN ARE OFFERED BY ANY OTHER COMPANY In the Intermediate Branch policies are adapted to the working classes. Each policy is for $500 and the rate lower than that offered by the Savings Bank system of Massachusetts. Two of the Metropolitan’s Intermediate forms recently standardized by the New York and Massachusetts Depart- ments provide for attractive combinations of insurance and annuities at the lowest rates offered anywhere.

The number of policies paid in 1908 averaged one for each sixty- five seconds of each business day of 8 hours, and in amount, $128.48 a minute, the year through. The value and timeliness of its policy payments may be gleaned from the fact that of the claims paid during the year, 3,479 were under polices less than three months old, 6,890 were on policies under 6 months, and 12,806 were within the first year of insurance,

While contracts are and always have been non-participating, the Company will this | year have spent nearly EIGHTEEN millions of dollars in voluntary baat: | and concessions to the holders of these policies in thirteen years. Cash bonuses on all whole life policies are annually allowed, to over 8 per cent. of the premiums for a year. Additions of from 5 to 30 per cent. are made to policies maturing as claims, according to time policies have persisted. By the Company’s present practice whole life policies are made free after age 75 or paid as endowments at age 80.

The five men who form the power of the Browns are: George Stone, ‘Bobby Wallace, Lou Criger, Rube Waddell and Hobe Ferris. That is McAleer’s best hand in the big American League game that will start on April 4, and if he plays it correctly, he will win. It’s a hand to play to the limit. Not another club tn the League holds a better one. Stone is a great batter, base runner and fielder. He has one little fault in a weak throwing arm, but no player is perfect. Stone is a plugger who is giv- ing the best he has every day, and, though he may not show the most en- thusiasm, he is in the game with the proper spirit. - Bob Wallace is the king of shortstops. He is a strong hitter and has brains enough for an entire infield. He comes as near being a perfect player as any ‘man in the game. Lou Criger is one of those catchers who are faultily faultless. He has brains, a throwing arm, judgment, and all that go to make up the ideal back- stop, with the one exception of hitting. He's not such a weak sticker that he should be barred from the big leagues. Rube Waddell needs no comment. He’s just Rube, with his wonderful! physique, his left arm of steel and his assortment of shoots that has made the best bat- ters in the world step away from the plate in humiliating admiration. Rube ls still the best pitcher of them all when he’s “right,’’ and he’s right most of the time. Hobe Ferris should be named as the fifth card in the hand, if for no other reason than because he’s a fighter. He can instill more fight into a team than any other three men. But aside from that he has a wonderful pair of hands that knock down the line hits coming toward third base, he throws well and quite often breaks up a game with one of those long hits to the outfield fence. Other American League Magnates old Good Cards, Rut Not So Many HETHER or not, McAleer gets W another pitcher or another out- fielder— whether or not, the oth- er members of the team come up to ex- pectations, he has enough in the above five players to make a championship team. But besides these, he has Jimmy Willlams, Jack Powell, Al. Schweitzer, Harry Howell and Bill Dinneen, and sit- ting on the bench always ready to go to bat when a hit means victory, will be the young giant, Dode Criss. Detroit thas its trio of outfielders, Cobb, Crawford and McIntyre, around which to build a championship team. It hasn’t musth more that would-be -catle® above the average. Chicago has Big Ed Walsh, and—well, it's hard to think of any one else of un- usual ability unless one would name Billy Sullivan. Fielder Jones is gone, George Davis is hobbling, Donohue is doubtful, and there’s nothing more to talk about on that team. Cleveland has Lajoie and Addie Joss, two of the - anaes players and two that y any club would be glad to have. But Cleveland hasn't five great powerful men of the diamond to hold the team to the front. Still it’s a well-balanced club and capable of going at a high rate of speed when all the machinery is work- ing in perfect order. Boston has its Cy Young, New York has its Hal Chase, Philadelphia its Ed- die Plank and Washington has its Wal- ter Johnson. But what club can set aside five regulars of equal strength to Stone, Wallace, Criger, Waddell and Ferris? There’s a bit too. much. age on the Browns to be the ideal baseball team. It can never attain the speed that has been shown by the Chicago Cubs. But when the veterans of the St. Louis team get into condition and work as they are capable of working, they should win more games than any other team, bar- ring, of course, some terrible misfortune that would rob the club of two or three ate stars. PETERSON SEEKS | 18.2 CUE TITLE Charles C. Peterson, champion red- ball billiard player, and one of the first division balkline players, will depart for Chicago this week for a conference with Willie Hoppe, former world's cham- pion billiardist, who voluntarily relin- quished his title. Peterson may double up with Hoppe for a short exhibition _ tour, While in Chicago Peterson will also have a talk with the men who prac- tically contro] the billiard game in this country. If he can come to satisfactory terms with them, Peterson will enter the world’s championship 18.2 balkline tournament, to be held in Chicago in the near future, in which Slosson, Cut- ler, Cline and possibly Sutton and Jake Schaefer will compete. Peterson, in practice yesterday at the 16.2 game, averaged considerably over %, which is good enough to win the tournament.

MOTORING By Nelson T. Gutelius. Through express from the West now Is delivered to the consignee in New York City just 24 hours sooner than it was before the Adams Express Co. placed a Packard three-ton truck in night service. The truck, which is one of the 14 Packard trucks used by the Adams company in the metropolitan district, runs between the Adams company’s Jersey City dock,vits garage and distri- buting station on West Forty-seventh street, its Harlem station on One Hun- dred and Twenty-fourth street and its Brooklyn depot. It combines the han- dling of packages to be transferred be- tween these stations with carrying in- coming and outgoing through express. The service between trains and distrib- uting points which it renders through the night allows the actual delivery of Western express packages one day in advance of the previous schedule. T. C, Campbell, president of the New Orieans club, has had assurances that French and Italian cars will be entered to compete against the American ma- chines in the 24-hour race during the Mardi Gras week, in February. “Cabbies" of Detroit have united in a war on the taxicab service established in that city recently.

Feb. 3.—Dis- playing boxing science and skill not seen here in mainy a day, Freddie Welsh last night won the decision over George Memsic in 10 rounds. It was the old game of dazzling cleverness against courage and a wallop, and the former | won. Dashing in and out, hopping and skip- ping about and landing straight jabs and right and left swings to Memsic’s jaw and nose, Welsh had his opponent bewildered. Even at that Memsic demonstrated that he is again rounding into the form that made him at one time the near-lightweight champion. He was constantly the aggressor, but Welsh’s speed and ring generalship were too much for the Bohemian over the short course. James J. Jeffries appeared in the ring and was given a tremendous ovation. Jeff will rest for a week and then pro- ceed East to fill his theatrical engage- ments. PRINCETON SWIMMER GETS CHANCE AT C. M. DANIELS NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—C. M. Daniels of the New York A. C. and holder of nearly all the world’s swimming records up to a mile, has accepted the chal- lenge of E. E. Denniston of Princeton University for a 60-yard race. The Princeton boy is the present holder ot the intercoliegiate record for the dis- tance, which he made recently in 251.4 seconds in an interclass contest. This is only a second slower than the rec- ord held by Daniels. Daniels has been training for the coming contest, which will probably be held at the next aqua- tic meet of the New York A. C.

Who Ran the Hundred Yard Dash in :09 2-5 Thinks Rector Only Real Rival. NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Detailed re- ports from the Transvaal stamp R. E. Walker, the South African runner, as a truly marvelous performer in sprint races, but they leave a sparkle of doubt as to whether or not the winner of the 110-meter race at the Olympic games actually covered the ‘‘100"’ in 92-5s. re- cently. True, he was timed by five watches, which registered 92-5s., but there is a difference of opinion as to his start. Those at the starting post say he did not get away until the pistol was fired, but those at the tape and in the press stand say it looked to them as though he beat the gun. Another thing -which will make his record hang in the bal- ance is the fact that a slight breeze was blowing down the course; very slight, and the reports say “not strong enough to aid him materially.’’ His race, on the whole, was little short of phenomenal. He gave all his opponents liberal handicaps and won by three yards from the second man, who had a handicap of 10 yards. ‘his was in his heat and was summarized by a sporting writer who was on the job as follows: “One hundred-yard handicap—First heat: R. E. Walker (scratch), first; R. Robson (10 yards), second; D. A. Stup- art (7% yards), third. Time, 9 2-5s. Also ran: M. B. Green (9% yards), C. F. Haynes (11 yards), J. Hener (14% yards). They got away well, Stupart being best off, beating the pistol by a yard, whilst Walker, if he, too, did, not beat the pis- tol holder, got an excellent start; with a series of bounds he jumped into his stride and overhauled his fleld rapidly. Green was passed at 70 yards, and he was level with Robson at 80 yards; thence, travelling at a terrific pace, he dashed through the worsted fully three yards ahead of Robson, who beat Stup- art by another half yard. The time is a South African and world’s record; for whatever was the matter with the Abergavenny track the Wanderers’ is perfectly level.’ Walker did not repeat in the final as Was generally reported. He got away badly and was beaten five yards. The winner of the final covered the distance in 92-58, but he was in receipt of an eight-yard handicap. With the report of Walker’s race comes one also of a world’s sprinting record being swept off the boards by A. B. Postle, the famous Australian pro- fessional runner. He won a 70-yard dash and was timed in 7 1-16s, thus low- ering by a tiny fraction of a second the mark held by W. A. Schick, the former Harvard runner, and Robby Cloughen of the Irish-American A. C., who trav- eled the distance in 71-5s. Jimmy Rec- tor of the University of Virginia is the only American whom Walker fears. i. CENTRAL FIVE HAS EASY TIME DEFEATING SMITH The Central High School basket ball team defeated the Smith Academy team in a game played at Louisiana Hall yes- terday afternoon, 82 to 56. The Smith Academy team has played a weak game all season. Cleve Hogan is giving ‘‘Red’’ Layton a hard run in their 300-peint pool match at Barter’s pool hall, 3617 Easton avenue. The second block of points was played last night. The score now stands 203 for Layton to 201 for Hogan. Smiddy and Clark will meet in the pool tournament mateh at the Hauser to- night. Last night Biest won from Ellis, 8 to 43. In the straight rail billiard tournament Sivel defeated Gordon, 1% to 7%. Compton and Bowman will clash in the Navarre pool tournament match this evening. Last night Litters defeated Bob Aitken, 75 to 14. Billy Grupp, boxing instructor of of the the South Broadway A. C., declares that in the future none of the members of the club’s amateur boxing team will be allowed to compete in any tourna- ment unless they have been examined by a physician. H. Eggers defeated Fornan, 2% to 2, and Klockman won from Dalton, 35 to 12, in the pool tournament matches at Eggers pool hall last night. HUSSMAN WILL RETURN TO AMATEUR BOXING GAME Fred Hussman who, a few years ago, was considered one of the best welter- weight amateur boxers in the country while weartng the colors of the Missouri A. C., has decided to re-enter the game, and will appear in the feature bout at the next amateur tournament, to be held at the Business Men’s Gymnasium on Feb. 16. An opponent for Hussman has not yet been secured, but Barney Mc- Carthy is confident that he will be able to land ¢ land one. | ST.LOUIS CUE MEN HAVE A CHANCE Billiard Team in Tri-City League Can Still Beat Chicago for the Championship. Alfred Jelliffe, promoter of the three- cushion amateur billiard league, re- turned from Kansas City this morning with Dr. Will C@mpbell and R. J. Rolfe, local billiardists, who won three out of four games from Kansas City men Monday and Tuesday. Jelliffe says Dr. Campbell played one of the greatest billiard games he ever witnessed when he defeated John Moore of Kansas City last night, 530 to 41. in the third inning Moore scratched a point and then ran 6 In his next inning he ran 6 more. This made the score 15 to 3 in Moore’s favor. The crcwd all cheered Moore, but Dr. Campbell never flinched, and with care- ful safety and playing great execution on natural shots, he tied Moore at the 23 point mark. The men were tied at the 41 point mark, but Dr. Campbell, by a strong finish, won out without al- lowing Moore another point. Rolfe lost a hard game yesterday aft- ernoon to Fred Backus of Kansas City, &) to 89% Dr. Campbell relieved Rolfe when the score stood 41 to 31 in favor o? Backus, but the latter won out. The Kansas City players will play in Chicago Monday and Tuesday and the Chicago men will play in St. Louis on Feb. 16 and 16, which will bring the league season to a close. St. Louis still has a chance to win the champlion- ship, even if the Chicago men win three out of four games from the Kan- sis City players. Chicago has won five matches and lost three. St. souls men have won six and lost six and the Kansas City men have won five games and lost sev- en.

After transcribing Clarkie’s reply verbatim for | ri minutes, Secretary Bruce of the commission moved that the reply be ex from the records, as unfit for publication. asking how far it was from home plate to the pennant pole. The suggestion wus carried.

Bad, very bad.” “We refer to their structure, sir—not to their disposition, if they have such, a trait. What's the matter with the baseball contracts?” “Well, the trouble I found was that its reserve claws were not sharp enough to hold.” Mr. Johnson murmured “quite right,” and looked at little Bobby Hye as one who had compounded a felony. : To relieve the strain, up piped that well “known modiste, Harry Pulliam. Pushing back his directoire overcoat and adjusting his , Paecarallie tie, he queried: me ‘“‘Now Charlie Comiskey, you and Fielder Jones have about threshed out this matter, tell us just how much the best baseball player is worth?’ | ‘‘He is worth 60,000,000 sesterces—if he can get them,” was the Old Roman's reply. vel Mr. Pulliam, never having lived under Caligula, had to take the sum for than that. “And now, in conclusion, boys, what was the most auspicious sign ont os future of baseball that you observed during the past twelve months?” == This rather halted the intellectual baseball mechanism of the class unt a astute Johnny McGraw piped up with: oi “I know—that was when Charley Spink, Joe Cantillon, Ban Johnson ana Charlie Comiskey went on a hunting trip together and returned with no cas- ualties.’’ Be Teacher Herrmann thought it wise to dismiss schest for the day at this juncture. ‘ Noxs of the links—Constantinople 235,000 dogs.

WANTS EVANS 10 FORGIVE W Lieutenant Hears Ultimatum That He Must Marry Wo-- man He Kissed. ROLE OF PEACEMAKER Naval Officer Starts ‘to San Francisco to See Couple He Estranged. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 3.—The U. S. S Cheyenne touched port here today, having on board Lieut. F. W. (‘“Boy’’) Osburn, the handsome young naval of- ficer who is accused by Naval Con- structor Holden Evans with wrecking recently obteined in Marine County, California, as the result of be- ing caught kissing Mrs. Evans, recall- ing the theme of James K. Hackett’s play, ‘‘John Glayde’s Honor.” When Osburn came ashore he learned for the first time of the domestic havoc He has been at sea ever since the kissing episode, when he hurriedly left the Ev- ans home following the entrance of the injured husband with his friends. Will Urge Reconcilistion. Osburn read. newspaper dispatches and letters from friends telling of the divorce. Then he read the declaration of Constructor Evans to the effect that unless the iLeutenant marries the di- vorced wife within a year he must face i courtmartial on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. He at once asked for leave of apsence, which was granted. and he then started for San Francisco. It is said that his intention is to effect a reconciliation between Evans and his wife. His method of doing this is un- known, and the result will be watched With interest. Advices from San Fran- cisco say that when Evans was informed that Osburn was on his way in the role of a peacemaker, he declared that he would never be successful.. When told diverce smiled and said nothing. «¢ his wife took place in the quarters of the naval constructor at Mare Island, the naval station at San Francisco. Os- burn went to Mare Island as a-hand- some young ensign, newly assigned, and became immediately popular among the women at the station. Divorce Followed Kissing. While Evans was lying ill at his home, Mrs. Evans had a caller. Evans, looking toward the door, which was ajar, saw through the crack his wife’s eyes fastened upon him, and behind her recognized the face of Osburn, Pretending to be asleep, he saw them leave the door, and heard a rustle of skirts in th@ room downstairs. He hur- riedly dressed, ran out and summoned two friends. They went into the house noiselessly and discovered Osburn im- pressing repeated kisses upon the lips of the beautiful Mrs. Evans. When they entered the room, Osburn took his departure as gracefully as he might, and Mrs. Evans is said to have confessed her friendship for the young ensign. Separation and divorce fol- lowed. - FLAG OF SCHOOL FLOATS AT HALF STAFF FOR GOOD PUPIL The flag of the Hancock School in Luxemburg, St. Louis County, floated at halfmast and all the children mourned when Willie Byrnes died of eumonia, The reason why there was so*’much sorrow in the school over the death of one of their playmates is ex- pressed as follows in a set of reselu- tions adopted by the school: “Because Willie was always so kind and pleasant with us all, and was so careful in the preparation of his les- sons, and in his conduct at school; we express our deepest sorrow and offer our tenderest sympathy to his brothers, sisters, father and mother.” Willie was the son of William and Julia Byrnes of 22) Pearl avenue, Lux- emburg.

It has furthermore been proven that, since most obstruc- tion and poisonous fermentation occurs in the intestines, the effectual use of in is limited to that state of gas- tric insufficiency in which the intes- tines have not yet had time to be. geome infected. inasmuch as the food passes directly from the stomach into the intestines, and inasmuch as fer- mentation sets up at once in an im- pure or im properly mixed chyme, thie cases in whic pepsin is of service are compnrativey, rare.

High School, believes the trip to Wash- ington presents vast advantages for children of the upper grammar schoo! grades and the high schools. “Under proper guidance, the trip the Post-Dispatch offers to school children can be excelled by none anywhere in our country,” he says. “It will give the boys and atria a chance to study at close range many important things entering into our na- tional life, which our children should know. It finishes out most admirably the course in history which grammar school pupils finish before entering the high schools. “I feel like Supt. Blewett, that the deserving pupils should have the trip, or, in other words, those whose parents have never been able to take their cbil- dren on these sight-seeing expeditions. “I am sure, though, that if left to the pupils themselves, those who are chosen will be admirable selections. I am convinced of this because of the knowledge I have of the afairs of my pupils and what I have seen at class elections. All the offices invariably go to the students best equipped in every way for the place they are elected to. In. such matters children — the greatest discretion.’ Will Make Better Catteaned John Rush Powell, principal of the James E. Yeatman High School, Natural Bridge road and Garrison avenue, is of the opinion that the trip will make bet- ter citizens of the pupils. “A trip to Washington is always to be desired,” he gays. “Most of us Americans hope, at some time or an- other in our lite, to go there. EVery boy and girl should cherish the same idea. “The trip offered by the Post-Dispatch affords opportunities worth tmmeasur- ably more to boys and girls than a week’s outing anywhere else could ever do. It will be broadening in every sense. Going through the Government buildings, where the children may see how national affairs are handled, where our laws are made, the men who make them, those who administer them, and the countless interesting things to be seen, will never be forgotten by thosel in the party. “I am sure that there ts not one of the Yeatman'’s 1200 pupils who would not be immensely pleased to get the chance to take the Washington trip.” Francis E.

Discussing the influence of the interchange of professors between Germany and America, Prof. Kuehnemann of Breslau, exchange professor of Harvard, said he was not sure that it would have any political effect; the plan was not intended tc influence the politics of the countries, but the educational methods and ideals. He said that the interchange of ideas, the injection of the spirit, _ the atmosphere, the thought and ideals of one - fation into another, the impréssing of them on ’ the youth of each, would result in large educa- tional benefits. ‘But the political effect must inevitably follow the educational influence. It is impossible to make two peoples familiar with each other's -ffleals, national spirit, thought and modes of life without destroying prejudice and kindling friend- | ly sentiment. “Ignorance is the curse of God.’’ It is the fertile soil of passion and prejudice. We are easily misled into suspicion and animosity toward the people we do not know. Civilization is the perception and recognition of relations and its flower is the complete and perfect perception of the relation of brotherhood. The kindling of the sense of brotherhood through the growing knowledge of the good qualities, the high ideals, the literature and the common aspirations of other peoples engenders sympathy which is a powerful factor in politics. Informed public sen- timent eliminates suspicion and hostility. It in- gists upon the expression of good will in the laws dealing with the interests of neighbor na- tions and in our international relations.

When the leaders of the local party organiza- tions feel that they must placate the independent elements in order to win, their usual method is to nominate good general tickets tagged with bad nominations for minor offices and for the House of Delegates. The leaders throw sops to the ward bosses and the corrupt elements by j permitting them to name their candidates for the lesser places. Their excuse to the better citi- zens is that they cannot control the gang nor dic- tate ward nominations. This excuse will not. be accepted in the ap- proaching city elections. The people of St. Louis want good men in every office. They particularly want a majority of reputable, intelligent men in the House of Delegates; pledged to pressing re- forms. They will demand of the party organ- izations that the tickets be good, not only at the top, but throughout. The party leaders can assure good lesser nom- inations by refusing to recognize or support bad nominations. They can offer the ward bosses the alternative of nominating good men for every office or losing the support of the general party organization. They can whip the ward bosses into line. The party which nominates the best ticket from top to bottom is the party which will receive the support of the independent voters this spring. That is the condition of success. = rr “It is a question whether the Post; Dispatch’s offer of trips to Washington for school children will be more popular because it will give the tourists a chance to see the last of Roosevelt or the first of Taft.

The whole significance of the petition for pres- ent purposes, is that it is an unqualified acknowl- edgment of the right of the State to regulate and control the corporation. This is a new thing in monopoly policy. Not so long ago the chief of the Standard took great pains to show his con- tempt for the authority of the State of Missouri by vulgarly insulting Attorney-General Hadley, and refusing-to answer questions. Now it is an- other tune. The vigor of the State authority is j awakened and the insolence of the monopoly is }turned into a plaintive prayer for mercy. hdr. di --~ —- F Helen Maloney’s matrimonial tangle having been unraveled, Miss Elkins should marry the poor young man or the Duke and retire to a Longworth obscurity. = = TTF AN UNUSUAL PRIVILEGE. The inauguration of a President of the United States is an impressive demonstration of the first and finest principle of our form ef national Gov- ernment, yet it is a spectacle which very few of the many millions who live far from the national capital are ever privileged to see. Fortunate, indeed, therefore, are the schoo! chil- dren of St. Louis and East St. Louis who will go to Washington in the first week of March as guests of the Post-Dispatch to see Mr. Taft step from the ranks of 80,000,000 private citizens to take the highest and most important public of- fice in the world. Nothing better could be cal- culated to arouse ambition in youthful minds or stamp upon them a permanent realization of the ideals of our institutions. This, with other days for sightseeing and a pil- grimage to Mount Vernon, will provide a week of unusual enjoyment in which the pleasure of travel and observation is made the handmaiden of education.

The election law for St. Louis stands in need of radical alterations, and it is hoped Gov. Had- ley and the Legislature will give the subject all the attention it deserves. Generally speaking, the leading idea should be to liberate the election machinery completely from the influence and control of political bosses. In pursuance of this idea provision should be made for the selection of capable and honest election officers in the precincts. Experience has shown that many of the judges and clerks are ignorant, careless and generally incompetent. And some of them are mere creatures of the bosses selected with reference to their subserv- lence to the machine dictators. Competent men can be had, and the Legislature should take steps to accomplish this object by legal mean: which cannot be circumvented by ingenious poli- ticlans. The 2200 ballots rejected by the Legis- ldtive joint committee in the Painter-Gmelich recount and the blunders found by that body prove the need of more intelligent election offi- cers, The grand jury recently called ,attention to the fact that there were about 6000 names on the registration books which ought not to be there. Under the law the judges and clerks are authorized and directed to erase names fraud- ulently entered and names of voters who have removed from their several precincts. But there seems to be no provision to check this work. The judges and clerks are practically irrespon-

st} sible, no authority being designated to call them up and make them give an account of them- selves and prove the correction of their work. True, they are answerable criminally, but In most cases the mischief is done, the frauds committed and the election results talnted with

What is needed is some summary process by which the books can be purged of fraudulent names before election. ~ Precincts should contain not more than 300 or 400 voters. They should be divided where they exceed a manageable number. — With the experience gained since the enact- ment of the Filley law in 1896 the Legislature ought to find it easy to frame a law of the best quality. It ought to be one of the principal interests of the revising session. i i rT Mr. Roosevelt told his countrymen how to kill: game. Mr. Taft, who made a gastronomic tour of the South and will be served with alligator steak when he returns to New Orleans, should be able to tell us how and what to eat. The Carmack trial will accomplish one good. It will improve the penmanship and literary style of the letter-writing wife of the unhealthy juror. i A Ap - Fre e Jeffries is to get $50,000 for 20 weeks in vaude- ville.

Young Wife in Trouble. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will some kind reader of the Post-Dispatch tell a young wife how to win her husband's love back? Some months ago, during a little quarrel, we sepa- rated, but after becoming reconciled I saw my mis- take; but he doesn’t seem to want to live together again, although I see him most every day. We are both so young, it seems a shame to get a di- vorce, for I am sure he still loves me and I love him. Will some loving wife or husband give me some advice? A HEART-BROKEN WIFE. How to Get Acquainted. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to letter headed “Alone in a Great City,”’ would say I think if she would attend some church she would find plenty of young ladies of her own age who would be most happy to make her ac- quaintance and not feel that she is one too many. If Miss J. 8S. R. will come to Centenary Sunday School, Sixteenth and Pine streets, next Sunday, at 2:30 p. m., and ask for the Philathea Class, I am sure she will never feel go lonely again. We have socials and entertainments and a general good time, with a good teacher and a class membership of 45 and several different organized classes. Come down and get acquainted and help us have a pleas- ant time. A well-wisher who hopes to have the pleasure of meeting Miss J. S. R. MISS L. E. B. Free Bridge Approaches. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why block up Chouteau avenue with the bridge approaches, thus destroying the principal street of South St. Louis, instead of buying the right-of-way through the property between streets and retaining the streets or necessary thoroughfare? It seems a very narrow-minded policy to destroy Chouteau avenue because it might cost a dollar or two less than to condemn private property, and aven this is doubtful, because if the street is blocked and filled up by the approaches, the adjoining prop- erty is entitled to damages. Suppose the Eads Bridge occupied Washington avenue up to about Eighth street, would not the property on every side be damaged, and would its value, in fact, be not al- most entirely destroyed? c. ' Folk’s Pardon Record. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There is a doubt in my mind as to whether or not those whe find fault with Gov. Folk in regard to his pardon record really understand the cases referred * to. I am personally acquainted with Mr. Mosby and think Gov. Folk made a wise choice. I trust our new Governor and his attorney are close akin to them in this present administration. No doubt there are many difficulties in dealing with such cases. Some- times -judges and prosecuting attorneys and even jurors find they have bees mistaken. What then? Must the wrong man suffer? Should those men be ironclad? Why have a pardon attorney or why give the Governor this authority at all? If they are not capable of reasoning and allowed to act according to this criticism? The best of us make mistakes. Let those without mistakes throw the first stone. _ me Our Invisible Watch-Dogs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The death of Jobusch by highwaymen recalls to my mind a warning sent out by the police of the North Market Street Station about a week ago, advising all residents in that district, viz: The section bounded by Cass, St. Louis and Jefferson avenues, to make as much noise as possible upon detecting a burglar, thereby increasing the efficiency of the department. Robberies, assaults, etc., have been happening. so merrily of late that we have just about décided to call upon the police, but have been unablé to locate them, therefore, would kindly ask the editor of the Post-Dispatch give us the location of the offi- ers. _ A RESIDENT OF THB VICINITY. Defense of Non-Voters. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why does the fact that he doesn’t vote make a per- son who has the power, to vote unworthy of that privilege? I can see no right reason in disfranchising a non-voter. Too many people vote. When a man does not understand the issue at stake or when he has no preference in the matter, he only wastes his timé and the time of the authorities by voting. A voter should study conditions and how they could be bettered, and then he thinks his ballot will help mat- ters. All classes should have the ballot to use as they see fit. It means a certain amount of power and protection to the individual. It would be impossi- ble always to know how to use it in each instance. It is well, at times, not to use it and to allow those who understand affairs to vote, allowing them to reoresent the non-voter. Freedom ought not to be thrust down the throat of any person, but should be given all. G. A. M. She Is Watching You! To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have read all the letters sent to yoy by. your readers in regard tg stenographers and wives, and I think that most of them are unjust, ag I was a stenographer myself before I married. There is, without comparison, more danger in the waitresses of restaurants. A few days ago I considered my- self very happy and now I am the most miserable creature living. When I married I did not have any objection to my husband eating lunch at a restau- rant close to his office, but a few days ago I noticed that he was getting colder and colder towarg

MORE LESE MAJESTY. Senator Rayner’s Query. From the Bufalo Times—Dem. When Senator Rayner of Maryland tried to force the administration into the open regarding the libel proceedings against the editors of the New York World and the Indianapolis News, he acted in the line of a duty as urgent as any which could possibly be required of the Senate at this time. The Mary- land Senator's initiative took the form of a resolution embodying two ques- tions: First, is Attorney-General Bona- parte acting under the orders of th. President of the United States? Second, if so, what warrant of law have the President and the Attorney-General for what they are doing? To say that these inquiries are emi- nently proper, are absolutely pertinent, is to fall far short of expressing the real necessities of the case. * * * So gross an invasion of legal rights as they are understood by the modern com-\ munity sets the seal on the impressive- ness of Senator Rayner’s statement re- garding “sedition” laws in general: “Tf there is no such law, then I want the Attorney-General to say so. If there is such a law, then I want him to point to the statute so that we can repeal it.’’

Laan An Unprecedented Prosecution, From the Wheeling Intellingencer—Rep. It is difficult to attach serious import to the prosecution which the Govern- ment seeks to bring against the New York World. No such prosecution has ever before been attempted in the his- tory of the American Republic. * * * There is not a rogue in office in this or ‘any other civilized land who does not fear more than anything else the voice of the press. There is not a scoundrel in Government, State or municipal serv- ice who does not seek wherever and whenever possible to stifle the voice of the press. * * * The World’s statements concerned an important public matter. If its state- ments were true, and they have not yet been shown to be untrue, The World was performing a great public duty in calling attention to them. Until the charges are completely controverted it eannot be said that the American peo- ple, who after all are the parties most interested in the controversy, have had all the light to which they are entitled. Is it not the better course to investigate these charges thoroughly and show their groundlessness rather than to rush into court to stay the mavens of the ac- cusers? Some Interesting Questions. From the Boston Herald—Ind. Mr. Douglas Robirson is said to have “consented” to appear as complainant in libel proceedings against the New York World. But why Mr. Douglas Robinson? The President advised Con- gress that the prosecution of this case should not be left to private citizens, and in obedience to executive orders the Attorney-General’s office has been searching musty law books and prepar- ing the case. Why does Mr. Robinson complain at this late day? Was he the original complainant? And if he was, by what power or privilege did he com. mand the United States Government to stand in his stead and the machinery of its Jaw department to go to the ex- treme of constitution: practice for his service? To Muzzle the Press, From the Montgomery = Advertiser— Dem. As The World says, the President is

He The older man slowly deposited his feet on the floor, and stood up. He ‘was a trifle round-shouldered, attired in @ black frock coat which dapgled to the knees, and his eyes of cold gray “narrowed into mere slits as he inspected éé 2 me with undisguised suspicion. #The spirit which for 70 years hath made answer to that earthly name still abideth within this fleshly body,’’ he responded solemnly, in a voice seeming- ly from the very pit of his stomach. “IT am still permitted to sail the seas, thus known to the children of -men, awaiting in patience the hour of trans- lation.” To be greeted thus in such a spot stunned me for the instant, my cheeks flushing as I read undisguised amuse- - gent in the upturned face of the creole. _ (My teeth shut together hard. “You are Eli Tuttle then, formerly master of the whaling bark Betsy?” “Bven so, young man,” his lean face perfectly emotionless, his long fingers outspread flat on the table. “Eli Tut- tle, of New Bedford, once the chief of ginners, but now communing with the higher life of the spirit world. Asso- ciate me not with yonder upgodly crew, blind to the truth of the beyond,” and he snapped his fingers softly toward the ‘door. “In this world saints and sinners must indeed mingle bodily, yet It was for peaceful meditation that friend De Nova and I déserted yonder scene of revelry, and sought this secluded gpot. Truly the good Book saith that where one or two are gathered to- gether in His name there is He also in the midst of them.” The creole laughed outright, smiting the table smartly with, his palm. “Sit down, mate!’”’ hé exclaimed genial- ly, kicking up a chair. “After you know gis ol’ hypocrite as well as I do, his } ecormmunion viz spirits won't bozzer you much. Help yourself to drink, an’ wash the taste out you’ mouth.” Tuttle wheeled about and stared at bis companion, his thin jaw working Tfinto my voice and manner. t Voyage A cigarette indifferently between his brown fingers, his white teeth gleam- ing. I remained standing, my hand on the back of the chair, intently studying the pair. “IT come directly from Don Castillo,” I said, quietly facing the Yankee, and determined to get down to business, “and desire to speak with you alone.” His glinting eyes narrowed percepti- bly, and his jaws crunched down upon the tobacco in his cheek. “"'Tig safe enough with him,” he ac- knowledged rather ungraciously, his voice becoming nasal as he pointed his chin beard toward the other. ‘‘De Nova is second officer.’’ I drew back the chair, and sat down, realizing that I now possessed the at- tention of both. “IT have been appointed to assume Capt. Castelar’s duties,’’ I announced quietly. ‘“‘Do either of you care to ex- amine my papers?’’ Tuttle spat silently into the sawdust, while De Nova exhibited his white teeth in a grin. The eyes of the two men met. “T rather guess your papers won’t cut much ice in this yere affair,’ returned the former with deliberate insolence, “being as how we don’t either of us give a tinker’s dam’ fer Peru, if you'll pardon my sayin’ so plainly.’”’ His mask had disappeared as by mag- ic, and I realized instantly the real na- ture of the man. “You mean no enlistment has been made, either by you, or the men under you?” “That’s just about the size of it, mis- ter,’’ his tone full of unconcealed con- tempt, his leg flung once again over the arm of the chair. ‘‘We agreed to do this one particular job fer a certain consideration, but we're none of us Pe- ruvian sailormen, and consequently don’t give a hang for your papers. Ain’t that about it, De Nova?’ The Creole nodded, still smiling pleas- antly, the blue smoke curling lazily up from the end of his cigarette. Evidently the two were actively engaged in tak- ing my measure, and this was to be 4 case of man against man, rather than the exercise of any delegated author- ity. I might as well throw my commis- sion into the fire for any real value it possessed here. All right; I had met and attended to their kind before. “T am delighted to understand the sit- uation so clearly and quickly,’’ I said sharply, throwing a note of authority “It simpli- task. Now listen to me, Mr. Tuttle,” giving him his formal title, “and you likewise, De Nova. I prob- ably care -as little for those papers as either of you, but, nevertheless, I am in command. Do you both clearly com- prehend that?—I am in command!

Neither answered, but I read their conclusion in their eyes, “That’s all I need to say now,” I went on. “It’s up to you to fish, or cut bait. You fellows have nothing to gain by opposing me, and I hope you posséss sense enough to know it.. De Nova, where have I ever met you before?” The Creole’s seg instantly brightened again, his white teeth gleaming under the black mustache. “So monsieur remember,”’ he lisped gently, leaning forward on the table. “T thought maybe-you forget altogether ‘bout zat time. But I know you at once wW’en you come in. It make me laugh to see zis Yankee try bait you like you was a dago steamboater. Bah, I know you all right for sailorman; I Know you do business.” . “But I am unable to place you.”

Jane Oarlyle’s Wooing and Let- ters Contributed in the Com- petition for» Post-Dis- patch Prizes BY POST-DISPATCH READERS. ANE WELSH, of whom Carlyle spoke @s a mere circumstance of his lot, and who became such aft- @r marriage, seems to have foreseen ' that a man of his character could hard- ly develop that quality of human nature which makes marriage truly successful. .When ;Thomas Carlyle first proposed. she refused him in the following lan- “My friend, I love you-—I repeat it, though I find the expression a rash one. All the best feelings in my nature are concerned in loving you. But were you my brother, I should love you the same. No! Your friend I will be, your truest, most devoted friend, ‘but your wife nev- er! Never! Not though you were as ich as Croesus, as honored and re- | mdwned as you yet shall be!” _ Garlyle at first accepted this decision, : + saying that his heart was ‘‘too old by ha gtuff than to break in junctures of this wed, and Miss Welsh was at length won

if a score of years, and made of sterner kind. But the correspondence contin- over. Just before the marriage she or a my dearest friend, be always 80 good to me, and I shall make the best - and happiest wife! When I read in your looks and words that you love me, But when you fly pleasure in writing and telling me how you love me, than in any other sort of amusement. Well, darling, I can find pleasure nowhere .and in nothing, when I am not busy at my work I evade everyone and everything that suggest amusement of any description. You know the pleasure that it affords me of my letters; aside from which I find pleasure with my thoughts, which are always of you, Mamie. When I think how mentally strong you are, I blush for sham at my own weakness, then again wcum I read your letter, every letter from you seemed to renew my energy and make me more de- termined to be worthy of you. When everything seemed to go wrong and it looked as though I could not hold out another minute, you, my dear, would appear to me in a vision, my love, like a ministering angel you would send the blood coursing through me and I held or to my helm and steered my ship safely into the harbor. Could you but know what your great love means to me. Did more young girls possess just a lit- tle of your wisdom, how much sorrow and unhappiness might be avoided. You ask if I recall my promise to your father? I should say I do. You were very wise, as well as dutiful, my dear, and I revere in yoyr firmness, how you disapproved and discouraged My sug- gestion of elopement. You were 19 then and I just 21. Do you remember how anxiously we were waiting for my ma- turity, all the things we had planned? How unconcernedly your father shat- to write to you from the unusual length | not. then earning $12 per. I thought that I was well prepared to provide for a wife then, and so did you. No visible means; those were cruel words then, my dear, and how I hated him for them, if it had been from anyone else but your dad—well——. But you were right to obey your father, my dear, and I also love him now and can see kis wisdom, of course, I thought then that he did not know. But I have made good, sweet one, and shall soon return to once more plead my troth and prove to your obstinate, but nevertheless wise dad that his sugges- tion was well taken and claim my re- ward. It is only a matter of six weeks until I take my vacation and will again hold you in my arms. How anxious I am, I don’t see how I can wait; it will seem an age. It’s all right, though, to have waited, if you are the fruit of my la- bors and my reward. Nearly three years, just think of it, and I am soon to be with you. Be patient, dearie. I may tell ‘“‘you’’ to be, even though I am I shall wait for a long letter from Wishing you peace and my darling. Your HARRY. much love, from ses After Brief Absence.

cannot refrain, dearest, from transfer- ring a few of my thoughts—which are all of you—to paper for your dear eyes to read. It was but a few short hours ago that you told me you returned my love, but I knew I could not be mis- taken—that the light from your eyes could not lie—and the belief that you loved me and were waiting for me has been the bright star ‘nat has guided and upheld me during uh‘ '9 three long, weary years—years, huwever, which now do not seem so hard and dreary. because they, have brought me _ such measure of success as has permitted me to ask you to become my wife. For I loved you too much in the old days to want you to endure the unceasing toil of a ‘poor man’s wife, even had I not known that comfort and happiness surrounded you and that wealth and its pleasures were being held out for your acceptance, But you waited, and God grant that I may be worthy of that greatest of all blessings—a true woman's love! And, dear, the sweetest thought to me is the confession from your lips that you waited, not knowing, only hoping and believing, that I loved you, and that you would as willingly have shared poverty wath me then as comfort and ease now!

Charles Schmidt is old. He lives with his widowed mother. He and Bertha Ludwig have been sweethearts for a year. He admits that he loves her very much and that he wishes to marry her. Bertha declares that she loves him. But-Mrs. Schmidt .will not permit her son to marry the girl. Tuesday evening Mrs. Schmidt went to the Ludwig home at 3369 South Sev- enth street to talk with Bertha. When 20 years

‘she got there Bertha was lying on a sofa, apparently unconscious, Her moth- sy Was wringing her hands and weeping. ifertha’s eyes stared vacantly at .the ‘eiling. Mrs. Schmidt sat down beside ner and took her hand. Admitted Her Deception. “Bertha, what on earth are you doing this for?’’ asked Mrs. Schmidt. The gir! continued to stare at the ceiling. “Why, Bertha, you know me. Don’t stare that way. You knew J am Char- lie’s mother. Come, sit up and let’s talk this thing over,’’ said Mrs. Schmidt. Then Bertha sat up and, weeping, confessed that she planned and carried out the deception to impress her sweet- heart. Later she made the same confession to Policemen Eichorn and Maher. ‘“Chariie kept putting off our mar- riage for a whole year,” she said. “I knew he loved me just I loved him and that he would marry me if it was not for his mother. Se I planned this thing to make him think that he was not the only one who loved me and wanted me. I thought it would make him think that some other man loved me so desperately he was willing to kidnap me er do any- thing to get me. I thought this would stir Charlie up and make him marry me right away. Expected to Hastén Weddiilx. “TI expected that as soon‘as Charlie heard that seme man had chloroformed me on the sireet he would rush down to see me. It was for the same reason I told the story that some man came into our house a ‘week ago and tried te carry me off by force. I theught if Charlie loved me as he professed ‘6 he would take me right away for fear the other man .would get me. There is no other man who cares for me and | do not care for anyone but Charlie.’ Miss Ludwig Corifessed, too, that she put her wages, %, between her ‘toes to hide it from. her mother. She ex- pected to be married and would need the. money herself.

—_ DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION Quickly Curesz Rheumatic Pains, Also System Builder. Go to any good prescription druggist and get’ the foliowing: Qne ounce compound syrup of Sar- saparilla, and one ounce Toris com- pound. Add these to a half pint of first class whiskey, and use a _ table- spoonful before each meal and at bed time. The bottle must be well shaken each time. Although this is seemingly a com- monplace formula, yet it is the most effective known for the eradication of acid poisons from the blood, absolutely curing all kinds of rheumatism, and at the same time restoring the whole sy¥s- tem to a vigorous, healthy condition. The enfeebled body and nerves will feel its remarkable restoring effects after the first few doses, but it should be continued until health is fully re- covered. The prompt use of this excellent mix- ture will be found to save many a dol- lar in doctor bills and much suffering. Local druggists say that the demand for this prescription has grown a hun- dredfold within the past year not only here but all over the country, and that very remarkable results have come from its use. * * *
