Lemp Jr., we millionaire brewer, was so jealous of his wife that he made an unexpected trip from St. Louis to Chi- cago, called at her rooms at 9 p. m . and searched behind curtains and in closets, according to Mrs. Lemp, whose testimony in her divorcee tria# was concluded in Judge Hitchcock's court Tuesday. Following her on the stand, R. L.* Johnson, Lemp’s ex- ' chauffeur, told of midnight rides Mr. Lemp took with women who drauk.

Mr. Lemp. who wore Monday @ gray suit, was dressed in a black Tuesday morning. The courtroom was crowded, mostly with women who pushed each other around in trying to get front seats. A _ deputy sheriff stood guard at the door to kéep out the hundreds who wished to get in after the room was full. Three policemen were on duty out-. gide the courtroom to keep phe crowd quiet. 7 Mrs. Lemp, showing no signs of wear'!- ness from the ordeal of Monday when ahe was all day upon the stand, was called again. She was asked only one question by Mr, Lemp’s attorney about the allega- tion in her petition; that her husband took photographs of their child un- dressed, . The Judge ruled out all testimony on this point because Mr, Lemp, in his formal admissions read to the Court at the beginning of the trial Monday, had admitted that he did make photographs | his naked child and that he did nut consider them disgusting. “Then that ends our cross-examina- tion,” said Mr. Lehmann. - (John 8. Leahy, attorney for Mrs. Lemp, ss began his redirect examination by ask- ing her about the rooms she and Mr. Lemp oceupied in the Lemp home on South Thirteenth street. In the last years they lived in the “house Mr. Lemp occupied a room alone on a floof above the one on which Mrs. Lemp's room was and she said there Were weeks at a time when she did nox know whether he was in or out at night. “What time of night was it that Mr. Iemp easaulted you and knocked you down (three times in your bathroom?’ she was asked. “Tt was about 10 o'clock at night.” “Did any of the servants hear that?’ “No, they were in another wing of the house,” “Mr. Lehmann seemed to lay a great deal of stress upon the fact that you did not tell the servants about that as- sault upon you, as if it was anything extraordinary for a wife not to.tell her } —s setvants about her husband beating her. Now did you tell anyone about it?” “ET did, The next morning I was so sore I was unable to go downstairs and the cook came up to see me and asked me What was the matter.

She sdid that in 1903, while she was in Chicago, Mr. Lemp came there. He had given her to understand that he was not coming. But he came at 9 o'clock at night while she was sew- ing. “He came in and looked under the bed, and went into the closet and pushed back the clothing and looked behind it, and Went into the bathroom and searched all corners.”’ This was introduced to show the un- reasonable jealousy of Mr. Lemp. More Testimony Ruled Out, Mrs. Lemp was asked about a gold efoss her baby wore and which her husband took from the baby’s neck, but the Court would not let her answer. She told of coming home from a long visit and said that Mr. Lemp did not kiss her. “Did you use the auto. very much?” “No; I was ordered by Mr. Lemp not to use it.’’ “Did Mr. suicide?” “He did.” Mrs. Lemp was asked to tell all about her signing of the paper introduced in evidence Monday in which she had agreed to never try and influence a child of the marriage in its-. religious beliefs. “One evening, shortly before we were married, Mr. Lemp showed me a paper which he asked me to sign, agreeing that [I would not try to influence our children, if we should have any, in a religious Way until the child was 16 years old. I told him I could not do that, but I would agree to not influence a child religiously before it was 7 years old, ‘He said to me: that?’ “I replied that I would. He asked me then if I would sign an agreement to that effect. I said: ‘Can't you take my word?’ He answered: ‘Yes, but I have had to sign a paper before the Archbishop agreeing that I will not in- terfere with your religious training of our children and now I want you to do this for me.’ ” “You agreed to sign it?’ “Yes.”’ “I suppose at that time he had a powerful influence over you?’ “Yes, I would do anything for him then.”’ “You had consented to marry him and loved him and believed in him?’ “Yes, I had a high idea of his honor.” Witness said that a day or two later, while she was at his mother’s house he. asked her to sign the paper ahd she did so without reading It, supposing it to be an agreement not to influence a child religiously until after it was 7 years old. She trusted her husband and did not know the paper bound her to never influence the child religiously.” Mre.

OFFICIAL IN FEW DAYS _—_—- Race Limited to Droste, Lang and Methudy, Governor Intimates. FORMER IN THE LEAD Will Be Election Commission- er if He Doesn’t Succeed Mulvihill. By a Staft orrespondent of the Post- Dispatch. J EFFERSON CITY, Feb. 43.—Gov. Hadley, who has just returned from St. Leuis, told the Post-Dispatch corres- pondent -today that he will name a new Excise Commissioner for St. Louis with- in the next few days. At the same time he intimated that he was not considering any aspirants for Mulvihill’s place outside of Henry Droste, August J. Lang and Joseph P. Methudy. The prevailing opinion of the Repub- lican leaders is that the place will go to Droste, although Lang has been a formidable candidate since the Gov- ernor’s visit to St. Louis. Droste Sure of a Place, be stated on the highest au- however, that if he does not capture the excise commissionership Droste will be, appointed a member of the Board of Election Commissioners. Mr. Droste has not applied for either position, and the fact that we is now the leading candidate for Excise Com- missioner is due to the activity of the Republican members of the House of Representatives from St. Louis and the St. Louis Republican Central Committee, so the Governor's friends say. Although Droste is leading the other excise candidates, it is known that Gov. Hadley is giving serious attention to August ». Lang. While the anti-Howe wing of the Republican party is oppos- ing Droste, the Howe men are making vigorous attacks on the Lang candidacy. Lang's political enemies have told the Governor that he is too close to “Con- nie’’ Busch and other Tenth Ward lead- ers who have been affiliated with the old Ziegenhein group. Lang's selection, these men say, is favored also by the Busch and Lemp Brewery interests. Benjamin Schnurmacher, xepublican member of the St. Louis Election Board, was Gov. Hadley's original choice for Excise Commissioner. Strenuous Time in St. Louis. “While in St. Louis,”” said the Gov- ernor today, ‘“‘I urged Mr. Schnurmach- er to accept another term as Election Commissioner. He refused. I then ten- dered him the excise commissionership and this also he declined to consider. “My St. Louis trip,was in every way satisfactory. It convenced me of one thing. Jefferson City is a good place to take the rest cure. I am awfully glad to get back. If I had not been accustomed to strenuous campaigning, I don’t know how I should have stood the St. Louis ordeal. The onslaught of politicians began early in the day and was not ended when I took my de- parture. “It was a record-breaking day in my life,” concluded the Governor as he reached for a small bottle In his desk and began to apply a soothing lotion to his right arm.

Torrence of Chicago, has been granted in France, according te an announce- ment made by J. Aspinwall Hodge, a New York attorney. Mr. Hodge sent out the following statement last night: “The matrimonial difficulties of Mr. and Mrs. Henry A.

Story of Elopement. At the time Mrs. Alexander and her husband separated it was said that she had eloped with William Graham Blackiston, an English attorney, who had been a guest at the Alexander home. Blackiston immediately notified the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank in Chicago, trustee of Mrs. Alexander's property, of his appointment as attor- ney for Mrs. Alexander and demanded that her property, estimated at $200, 000, be turned over to him. The husband contested this claim, and for a time the property was tied up. Mrs. Alexander inherited the fortune from her mother. who was the widow of the wealthy Chicago tronmaster. Mrs. Alexander is less than 40 years old and is still a beautiful woman. BILL MAKES ROOSEVELT THE DICTATOR OF PANAMA a ee WASHINGTON.

When the King alighted from his car, the Kaiser impulsively embraced his royal uncle. and kissed him on both cheeks. There was a show of enthusiasm in the affair which made it hard to realize that the two monarchs have for years been pitted against each other in interna- tional politics and that they regard each other always with jealousy and fre- quently with enmity.

Republican city committees met at the Planters Hotel at noon Tuesday to discuss the manner of selecting the 13 freeholders to revise the city charter. The Republicans insist on a_ hi- partisan committee, while the Demo- crats favor a nonpartisan committee. The Republicans want ~he Democratic and Republican city committees to each select six freeholders, and the 12 to se- lect a thirteenth, while the Democrats are in favor of leaving the selection of the freeholders io the civic organiza- tions of the city. Unless the two organizations Ame to an agreement it is probable that each committee will cause to be nominated a partisan ticket of 18 freeholders to be voted on at the April election. This probably would result in the freeholders being all of one political party. Chairman Howe of the Republican Committee proposed to Chairman Ward of the Democratic Committee and to Hi L. Christie of the Municipal Voters’ League that each party name sia free- helders and leave the selection of the other to the 12. Howe says that Mr. Christie first approvec this plan, but after consulting with George D.

The victims were searchers for the bodies of those who perished in an explosion in the colliery fire five weeks ago. Today's explosion was not serious so far as pliysical damage was concerned, but it caused 16 panic-stricken workmen to make a mad rush for the shaft. In the struggle to escape M. Palmer, a white man, and Lawson Kimbie, a ne- gro, fell into a pool at the bottom of the shaft and were drowned. A third man Was fatally crushed. Twenty-six miners were killed in an explosion in the Leiter mine in January. Leiter and his bride led the rescuers who searched the ruins after the acci- dent. Nineteen bodies were recovered, but before the other seven could be taken out the mine was closed by order of the State authorities, The order was rescinded recently, and today’s explosion occurred while another searching party was going through me works.

Her Story Mrs. Lemp Finishes on Stand, Chauffeur Follows

women with him in his auto?’ he was asked. “After midnight I have taken him and women to his home. I did this on two eccasions. The women had been drinking.”’ “Did you ever drive Mr. Lemp to a residence on Garrison, near Laclede*”’ “I @id.’’ ‘What happened?’ “IT stopped the machine around the corner and he told me to wait there. He went in and stayed a half hour and came out.”’ ~ “Into whose home did he go?’’ ‘Into the home of*Mrs. Howard.”’ At this point attorneys for Mr. Lemp objected. Mr. Leahy, attorney for Mrs. Lemp, explained that he expected to prove that a newspaper woman lived there that Mr. Lemp went to give her a story derogatory to Mrs. Lemp, and that soon thereafter the first article designating Mrs. Lempias “‘The Laven- dar Lady” appeared, ang that this name was Invented by Mr. Lemp. The Court ruled out this testimony. Johnson corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Lemp that when she returned from Florida Mr. Lemp did not speak to her. Johnson was his chauffeur five months in 19068. Ife said on cross-examination that he took the woman to the Lemp home dur- ing the absence of Mrs. Lemp. The women were picked up at Cherokee Gar- den. lkrom there they went to the Alps and then to the Lemp Rome, where the’ women and Mr. Lemp and arthur Potts went in. . The two women lived on California avenue and they spoke both English and German. They stayed an hour in the. Lemp home and when they came out he took them to the southeast corner of Ca...ornia and Utah avenues and left them there. The next time he met these two women he was sent to their home on California, between Cherokee and Utah. The two women came out and got in the machine. Johnson was asked if he knew the num- ber of the house. He said he did not. “Would you know the house again?’ Mr. Lehman asked him. “I might.” “Will you go out there at noon and come back and give us the number.’ *‘No, I will not.’’ He said the house was on the east side of the street, near the middle of the block. Mrs. Mary O'Keefe, who nursed Mrs. Lemp’s baby in 1901 and was at the house six months, testified that Mrs. Lemp was a good housekeeper. She did her own mending and darning, hung her own lace curtains, was especially good at providing for the table, and treated Mr. Lemp with kindness and affection. “How did she treat her baby?’ “Well, she couldn’t have treated it any better. That's all she though of, Was the baby.” Herman C. Lang of Rochester, N. Y., testified that he was coachman for Mr. Lemp, who discharged him in 1907, but Mrs.. Lemp engaged him again in spite of the fact that Mr. Lemp had ordered him to stay off thé property. . He said that once when he drove Mr. and Mrs. Lemp to the theater a little boy crossing the street got in the way ~ the carriage so that he had to make a short stop and Mr. Lemp leaned out the window of the carriage and cursed the boy and called him 4 vile name. “lI saw Mr. Lemp only ence when he was drunk,” said Lang. Miss Freda Jude, who was Mrs. Lemp’s dressmaker during her married life, testified that she was a model housekeeper. She sald Mrs. Lemp dressed very modestly. She treated her servants considerately and kindly. MRS, LEMP’S FATHER AGAIN WARS ON THE PHOTOGRAPHERS saw A. H. Handlan, scl Lemp's fath- er, give battle to snapshot men after the motning sésasion of the Lemp divorce trial Tuesday. In order to avoid the cameras Mr. Handlon and his daughter, after leaving the went down a narrow spiral staircase to the Sheriff's qcaee

Sheriff Nolan and the four policemen went out through the Broadway en- trance shouting to the crowd: “Get back; open a way here for Mrs. Lemp. Do not block the passageway here!"” and they began to Shove and push the crowd. Immediately the cry went up all through the Courthouse corridors and outside, ‘Here they come!’’ and all rushed for that door. Went Out Side Door. Then a deputy sheriff opened the Judge’s private @oor in a corner of the courtroom, opposite the main en- trance, and Mrs. Lemp and her father went quickly out that way. This let them into the long central corridor run- ning north and south. They hurried through the corridor to the north en- trance. As they emerged upon the street, Mr. Handlan raised an umbrella, his daughter grasped his arm and snug- Sled close to him, he pulled the um- brella close down about their heads and, stooping low, théy made a rush across Chestnut street for the entrance to the cafe in the Pianters Hotel. Photographers were in waiting and 10 cameras were pgjinted as they came in view. Used Umbrelia ux Weapon. “Click, click,”’ said one of the instru- ments. Mr. Handlan leaped forward the snap-shooter. He failed. Holding his umbrella in front of his daugiter to jpretect her from>the eager lenses he hurried across the street. Mrs. Lemp sought refuge in entrance ~of the hotel aiid her father turned and made another demonstration against the.photographers. He lowered his umbrella and used it as a club. He brought it down on the head of Photographer Le Mertha. Looking around he saw Garnett E. Palfrey with his camera cleared for ac- tion. With umbrella upraised he ad- vanced on Palfrey who stood his ground and clicked his camera just as the um- brella landed on his head. . Mr. Handlan then backed through the trotel entrance and the crowd dispersed. TWINS ARE THE USUAL THING to nab the bar

MUST PAY BY MONDAY n Penitent Seceders of the Polish Nation Appeal for Assistance.

Unless the parishioners of the Polish National Church at Eleventh and Cham- bers streets succeed in raising $12,100 by next Monday, they will lose not only their church building, but prospects of being reinstated in the regular Catholic church, from which they seceded in No- vernber, 1905. The Rev. Father Stanowski and the Rev. Father Phelan have _ interceded 7 with Archbishop Glennon to reinstate the insurgents. Archbishop Glennon “ §mposed as conditions of reinstatement that all notes against the church,

% F i ex- cept those secured by deed of trust, must be paid; that the National Polish Church must be disincorporated, and that the title to the property be clearea go that a valid transfer can be made. These conditions have been complied with, but the parishioners are now con- fronted with a situation whereby they will lose the church property unless they raise the $12,100 which they still owe to the North Presbyterian Church, from which the property was originally pur- chased. ‘ : Ask Glennon for Loan. They want Archbishop Glennon to lend them the money to pay off the indebted- ness, establish a new parish in North St. Louis especially for Polish people, and to reinstate thém in the church. They say it they are tided over their present financia] difficulty, and rein- stated, they can raise the mcney to pay oft the indebtedness. The insurgents, after leaving St. Cas- imir’s Polish Church at Ejighth and Mullanphy streets, bought the North P -sbyterian Church for $20,000. vy have paid about $7000 and spent ' in improvements, all of which ey will lose unless they get aid from the Archbishop. The independents rejected several prieste appointed by the Arehbishop in 19, but finally the Rev. Father Pud- “jwski got control of the church and eld it against the seceders, ‘After establishing an {ndependent “@atholic Church they engaged a priest named Mirek, but he left lest summer. ane. secessionists are new penitent and say that if Archbishop Glennon will establish a new parish and use the church building as a house of worship it will soon betome the largest Polish congregation in the city.

“HARSH MUST [CUPL GET si TRIAL MARRIAGE TOUSTAYER Bridegroom Wants toEmigrate in 12 Months, Bride Wants to Stay.

Anton Girzus and Annie Adomietus have been married in East St. Louis with a mutual understanding that it is a trial marriage for one year. At the end of that time if either so wishes they may terminate the union. The ceremony was performed by Jus- tice E. P. Williams. Girzus is 27 years old and his wife is 22. Both are natives of Russia. Girzus, still a subject of the Czar, wants to re- turn to his home across the sea next year, but the bride, who says she loves America, is anxious to remain. Only Trial Marriag This was the condition which led to the trial marriage. They continued to a week ago. On Monday afternoon they went to Justice Williams and laid the knotty problem before him. “We love each other,’’ said Miss Adomietus, “‘but Anron will not agree to remain in. America with me longer than a year dnd I won’t promise to go back to Russia with him, so we want to get married for just a year.” Justice Williams explained that the law does not recognize trial marriage. “If you become man and wife you must remain so all your life—unless one of you gets a divorce,’ he said. The Divorce Explained, “A divorce? What is that?’ asked. Justice Williams explained. “Then if Anton goes away at the end ofthe year I can be set free,”’ ex- claimed the young woman. “And if Annie won't go with me to Russia I can be free,’’ said Anton. “That's about it,’ answered the Jus- tice. “All right then, they said. “When the ceremony was completed both turned to the Justice and said: ‘“Tt's only for a year.” SENATOR RAYNER CALLS THIS GOVERNMENT BY DEPARTMENTS WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—In the near future Senator Rayner will speak on his resolution declaring the power of the Senate to compel the attendance of witnesses by summons and the produc- tion of papers by such witnesses, wheth- er they are in private life or in the employ of the Government. Mr. Rayner has been endeavoring to learn why Baltimore has for two months been quarantined in its ship- ments of beef to Great Britain and has been refused the correspondence on the subject with the British Govern- ment. He believes the Senate has a both we'll get married,”’

Drugs play very little part in the modern treatment for dyspepsia. From a list of articles easily digested the sttiedd selects those that most appeal to the appetite, avdids hasty eating and rests after each mea] by lying down for a time if cireumstances permit. Then, unless the supply-of blood to the stom- ach is deficient, nature works the cure. The cure of Mrs. Jennie Temple, of No. 106 North Main street, Fond du Lac, Wis., of stomach trouble by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills was due to their pe wer to build up and purify the blood. he says: “T take great pleasure in letting others know of the Fete benefit I have received from Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

seat of the Coliseum, made up of men and women who had come through the rain in automobiles, in street cars and on foot from the West End and the working districts and the slums and the Bad Lands—sat spell-bound Monday night as Gipsy Smith denounced ‘the law of society that casts out @ woman who has lost her honor while still recog- nizing the man who caused — down- fall. The great audience seemed to hola its breath as the evangelist’s voice carried this appeal to the farthest seat in the bullding. The Gipsy paused a moment anc then said simply: ‘Is that right, is that right?” And almost instantaneously ge} like the volley of a gaftling gun came the reply from ‘hundreds of throats: “No, it is not right.’’ And then from the seats on the floor ; and the balcony and the gallery came the sound of sobbing—men and women broke down absolutely, unrestrainedly as if tnere were no one around them or as if they did not care. Those who have attended many evangelists’ revivals here >|Say that they never witnessed such a scene before. No Divorce Among Gipstes. This part of Gipsy Smith’s speech was evidently impromptu. He was telling the story of his life as a gipsy. For it is his custom to end his mission with his lecture entitled ‘From a Gipsy Tent to the Pulpit.”. He was speaking oft morality among the gipsies and said that there were no gipsy divorces. Some movement on the part of those sitting a0e , 256 ., Be 2 Ibs.

I said that seriously. There are no divorces among the gip- sies. Can you people of civilization say as much? Why, de you know that in your own country 2 wi one divorce in Up ae BO s’ every 12 marriages? ith all your en- lightenment, all your education, what can you say of your morality? “And what have you got to say about your social laws and your conventions? You people of the West End. If a woman's virtue is lost you cast her out. don’t you? You tell her that you don't want to see her again. And you don’t care where she goes, what becomes of her. And what about the man who has ruined her? What about that, you men of the West End? You forgive him after a time, you take him back to your somes and introduce him to your wife and daughters and sisters. Men Should Be Ostracised. ‘Is that right? No, you cry, it is not right. Then why do you do it: Do you know what you should do? You should never allow him to come back until he has brought the woman back with him. Is that right?’’ Here came another great chorus of “Yes,"’ which was followed by long ap- plause, Address to Clubmen. At the afternoon meeting a special section had been reserved for the mem- bers of the St. Louis, the Country, Glen Echo, Racquet and University clubs. Several hundred took advantage of the invitation to be present. The evangelist addressed himself to them for a part of his speech. He told them he was looking for some young millionaire to give up his engagements and idle hours at his clubs and devote himself to trying to bring back the fallen to good lives. The finance committee has announced that all but $2000 of the local expenses of the meetings has been raised in col- lections-and by Monday night’s lecture, for hich an admittance of 2% cents was charged. About $11,000 in all was raised. Half of this goes to the Free Church Counci] in London, which sent out Gipsy Smith. The deficit in expenses will be made up by wealthy men in St Louis who guaranteed to meet the ex- penses, no matter what the collections were. The total expense is estimated at $7600. As 3500 persons were converted during the revival, the total expense of $11,00) makes the cost of each conversion about $3.50. Gipsy Smith will leave Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock over the Wabasn for Kansas City, where he will hold re- vival meetings next week. He will be accompanied to the station by hundreds of those who have heard him at the Coliseum Arrangements have been made for the singing of hymns when the evangelist leaves. Guy Golterman, manager of the Col- iseum, has received & letter from the evangelist, who says the Coliseum is the most perfect building he has ever been in and that the accoustics are wonder- ful.

MOTOR CARS CRASH 30 FEET IN AIR: MAN KILL Motorman at Foundry Is So Badly Injured He Died.

Thirty feet above earth, two sus- pended motor cars, guiding huge cranes in ‘the wheel and axle department of the American Car and Foundry Co., at Main and St. George streets, crashed in a rear-end collision, Tuesday, and Philip Bewe, 17 years old, motorman of of the cars, was hurled from his suffering. a fracture of the skull. He died at noon at the City Hospital Bewe was taken, unconscious, from his seat by Robert Lane, the uninjured motorman of the other car, and was lowered in an elevator to the surface. The cars, suspended from a massive overhead rail, run about the large room, pushing or pulling the cranes, from which, by heavy cables, are suspended the axles, weighing tons, which are to be carried from one place to another. Take Curves at High Speed. Three of these cranes rin continually about the place, taking curves almost as rapidly as a trolley car could do. Half the time the cars run backward, pulling the. cranes, and half the time they run forward, pushing them. Bewe’s apparatus was running back- ward, and he failed to notice Lane’s car, which was at a standstill. Lane supposed that Bewe would slow up, and paid little attention until the shock of, the collision almost hurled him to the floor. Bewe’s car struck Lane’s crane, and Bewe was thrown forward, his head striking an _ iron one seat, lived at 6901 Penn- Carondelet. ‘The dead man sylvania avenue, SOUVENIRS ON HONEYMOON BEGINNING OF DISSENSION Wife’s Passion for Mementos of Trip Was Too Strong, Says Oito Ernst. The differences between Ctio Ernst and his bride, Hattie, of 6440 Gore ave- nue, Wellston, began the day after their marriage while they were on their hon- eymoon at Eureka Springs, Ark. “She bought more than $100 worth of souvenirs the first day, and I thought that was going a little too strong,”’ testified Otto in the St. Louis County Circuit Court, where his wife is suing for a divorce. At the beginning of the trial Mrs. Ernst had told how her husband was away from home nearly every evening, his excuse being that he was going to night school. “I told the truth,’’ said Ernst on the witness stand. “‘I was attending the Ben- ton College of Law. When I wasn’t there I was down at my father’s furni- ture store at Eighth and Palm streets, helping him with his books. ‘‘After my wife and I had lived to- gether nearly four years she suggest- ed last September that we separate. I drew up an agreement by which I was to gO away and was to pay her $20 a month. She refused to sign it, “When I went out at night I would have been willing to take my wife along, but we had nobody to leave with the baby.” J. F. Butters, stepfather of Mrs. Ernst, testified that Ernst said to him: “Tl am tired of married life and I am going to study law.” WOMAN SHOOTS AT BURGLAR There would have been one less bur- glar in the world Tuesday if the marks- manship of Mrs. Maggie Smith of 2901 Lucas avenue had been perfect.

PRIZE. AROUSES GREAT INTEREST N BALLOONIN Flight From Indianapolis June 5 Will Be Next Aeronaut- ical Event. -_ By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, . NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Since the an- nouncement of the World-Post-Dispaich Fulton flight airship contest, each day brings forth fresh indications of greater activity and more widespread interest among. aeronauts. The Aero Club of America announced yesterday that it would hold its first grand prize bai- loon race from Indianapolis on’ Satur- day, June 5. This race will be the first national bal- loon contest in America, and it is ex- pected that it will be the most impor- tant aeronautical event ever held in this country up to the present time. There are at present 18 certified balloon pilots in this country, and they are ali expected to start. But in addition to this number, it Is said other members of the Aero Club of America, or its affillated associations, will qualify as pilots before the race, and it is anticipated that more balloons will start from Indianapolis in June than have ever started in any similar race in America. The prize to the winner will be a gol cup of at least $1000 value. This cup is offered by the Aero Club of America, and will be the property of the win- ner, who will be known as the national balloon champion. A new cup will be offered by the Aero Club for an indefi- nite period. Besides the cup which is offered by the Aero Club, it is certain that at least $2000 in cash prizes will be offerag by the various civic organizations of Indianapolis. It was also announced by the Aero club of America that Albert C. Triaca. one of the entrants fuer The World-Post- Dispatch Fulton flight, had donated a gold medal valued at $100 for disposal by the club, and it was decided at a meeting of the Board of Directors to award it to the pilot who is a member of the organization, and who during the year makes the best record in an aero- plane flight. Expressions of commendation for the World-Post-Dispatch contest continue to pour in from all sections of America. An enthusiastic interest has been roused in sections where it was supposed aero- nautics were still a sealed book. Dr. T. Chalmers Fulton of the Ben Frank- lin Aeronautical Society of Philadelphia, says: “The munificent offer of The World and Post-Dispatch is a great encourage- ment to aeronautics and we all feel that it will do much to advance ac- tivity and plac-~ America in line with Asad achievement in the air.” FAMILY COUGH SYRUP Cures Any Cough in Five Hours. NEW PRESCRIPTION HERE. Here is given the most effective cough prescription known to the med- ical world. It ‘s « mild laxative, too, and this is what a bodv needs when suffering with cough and cold on the lungs. A cough or cold indicates poisons in the system, causing inf!arn- mation and congestion.

Girl Shatters Usher’s Dreams When Found and Says There Was No Rival. Something happened to Joseph Hen- nicke, a Gayety Theater usher. A composite of the stories which he has told so far indicates that a gang; of men, gncluding his former rival in love, went to his home at 1523 Wash- iugton avenue attacked him and kid- Laped his tride and fled with her into the night. But. according to one story, the lady wasn't his wife. She was just a friend of his and she wasn’t kid- naped at all, and Hennicke was play- ‘ng solitaire when somebody struck the back of his head with a lighted lamp, ihe blow blackening both of his eyes. Issues News Bulletins. ° This is as near a solution of the mys- . ery as has been indicated by Hennicke’s etins, which he issues at the Carr Street Station every few minutes. The young woman who was with Hen- nieke when whatever it was happened or just before it happened, is Miss Peari Kerns of 915 North Fifteenth street. _ “Why, the idea of him saying I’m his wife,’ she said, Tuesday. “I was visit- ing him-at the Washington avenue house last night, but I wasn’t there when it happened. I came home about 8 o'clock.” In one of his statements Hennicke said that he recognized the leader of hig assailants as Harry Scott, his for- mer rival for Miss Kerns’ hand. Not a Rival, Girl Says. “There's nothing to that,’’ said Miss Kerns. “Seott isn’t in town. He is married to a girt chum of mine and he was never my sweetheart.” All the police know is that four young men, one of them Hennicke’s brother, took him to the Central Dispensary Monday night. He was arrested after he told the story of the attack and the kidnaping of his wife. Hennicke has told a different story every time he has been questioned. SWIFT'S DAUGHTER DIVORCED CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Mrs. Ruth ‘May Pversz, daughter of the late Gustavus F.

Celebrations of Abraham Lincoln's centennial, which began Sunday, will be continued until Friday evening at the Compton Hill Congregational Church, Compton and Lafayette avenues, of which the Rev. Dr. Jacob E. Meeker is pastor. In the north room of the church the Rev. Dr. Meeker has an interesting Lin- coln museum, gathered by Judge Leo Rassieur, consisting of photographs of the martyred President, commissions he signed, and other historical documents. One of the commissions is Wells H. Blodgett’s as a colonel. Col. Blodgett was one of the orators at the exer- cises Sunday. The programs for the remainder of the week, under the direction of the G. A. R., consist of the reading of letters from prominent men regarding Lin- coln’s achievements and his standing, and messages from former Confederate officers and from governors of Southern states. Four Phases Considcred, At the meeting Monday evening there were addresses on four phases of Lin- coln’s ,activities: “Lincoln, the Law- yer,” by Charles W. Rutledge; ‘‘Lincoln, the Humorist,”” by Prof. John S. Col- lins; ‘‘Lincoln, the Statesman,’”’ by Wil- liam F, Woerner; and “Lincoln, the Ora- tor,”’ by Porter Johnson. Federal Judge Dyer will deliver an Address on Lincoln to the Fellowship Club of the King’s Highway Presbyte- rian Church Friday evening. Col. R. J. Rombauer will speak Friday evening on ‘‘The Life and Character of Abraham Lincon,”’ to Col. Hassendeubel Post, No. 13, G. A. R. Post Commander Max Fritz will read Lincoln's Gettys- burg address. All the camps of the United Spanish War Veterans are expected to attend a celebration Friday evening at the Odeon.

The meeting in St. Louis will be in charge of Deputy Commander Martin Scherer Jr. and Deputy Adjutant J. H. Lakin. The pupils of the Grant School will celebrate Friday evening at Lemp’s Park.

- ~ AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE. it was not until the Post-Dispatch appealed to Gov. Hadley and the State Legislature that the House of Delegates could be inducec to agree to a reasonable measure providing for a Public Utility Commission as an initial step to the reg- ulation of public utility corporations in this city. The fear that the Legislature would deprive the Municipal Assembly of the power to regulate such corporations has stirred the House to activ- ity. But what guarantee is there that the creation of a commission will be followed by beneficial regulation? Experience in driving the House of Delegates to take the first step offers no prom- ise of efficient regulation. When the commis- sion has been created, has investigated the public utility rates and services and has reported its fidings and recommendations, it will be neces- sary for the Municipal Assembly to act before the public receives benefits. The history of the efforts of Kansas City and St. Joseph to obtain benefits under the Cooper enabling act does not hold out hope of efficient regulation. The Kansas City Commission has re- ported one minor betterment in service which has not been acted upon by the City Legislature. Nothing has been done by the St. Joseph Com- mission or Council. We are no longer hopeful of good results from regulation by local legislatures, The influences against efficient measures are so powerful and can be exerted so effectively on local bodies that the hope of effective action is dim. Moreove, the operation of suburban street car lines is tied up with that of lines within the city. Rates af- fecting the city but outside of its jurisdiction can- not be regulated by the Municipal Legislature. A large part of the population of the State is de- prived of the benefits of regulation. In view of the conditions existing in the cities which militate against real regulation in the interest of the people, and the situation in the towns and the districts adjacent to the large ciies, we believe that the best solution of the utility regulation problem lies in a State Commission. Gov. Hadley favors a State Commission. He favors aiso thorough regulation. His own ex- perience in enforcing railroad regulation acts has enlightened him on the subject of regulative laws and methods. He could not do a more valuable service for the people than to co-operate with the State Legislature in obtaining a sound law for the. creation of a State Commission for the regulation of public utility corporations, and to appoint a commission which will do the work as it should be done. It would be a notable achievement for the State Legislature to adopt a law which will assure the people protection from the oppression and abuses of public service corporations. The fact that Senator Perkins does not agree with Mr. Roosevelt is sufficient explanation of the delivery of the Presfdential blow under the belt on the California Senator. All the op- ponents of the President are traitors to the country.

A Ae Ae rT STATE SELFISHNESS SHOULD NOT PREVAIL. While there is some promise of a wiser second thought in the postponement by the California Assembly of further action on the Japanese school segregation bill until Wednesday, this promise is lessened by the radical utterances of Senator Ca- minetti in introducing the bill in the California State Senate. Senator Caminetti urges action on the matter, “ff for no other reason than to assert the sover- eignty of California, and the right to conduct and control our public school system rights, which are not and cannot, under our system of government, be the subject of treaty stipulation with any for- eign government.” The attitude thus taken is in- tended as a direct denial of the soundness of Sec- retary Root’s contention, on this same issue, that ‘“‘the best interest of the whole country is always the true interest of every State.” " Should Caminetti’s argument prevail, Califor- nia will surrender herself to the dictation of State selfishness as against a due regard for the best good of the nation. The ultimate cost of such a course may be disastrous alike to California and the rest of the Union. i, A i —_— a ae.

The delight of the members of St. Louis Aero Club at the information that there will soon be a balloon in the balloon garage for the use of members can be imagined better than described. = = ~~ A MENACE FROM MEXICO. Mr. D. G. Kelly, president of the Lima Oil Co. one of. the holding companies organized to hold for the owners, tells us that the oil industry of the United States is menaced by Mexican oil and that only protective duties will save the struggling in- fant. There is already a protective duty, but Mr. Kelly evidently means a higher one. It would be sad if the defenseless gentlemen of the Standard Oil Co. should be left without ade- quate protection. If they are not enabled to charge us monopoly prices they will go under, some of them no doubt to the poorhouse and thence to paupers’ graves. It is very sad. But charity ought not to be denied them. The feeble and helpless, people in their first and second childhood have first claim to protection. We must save them from that deluge of Mexican greaser oil which threatens to engulf them. ,

They are talking of tearing up our good street, Virginia avenue, between Courtois street and. Malt street, for the purpose of making it after the new fashion, when the cross streets, unmade, are in such a deplorable state that we are unable to get over to Michigan avenue, one block, to take our car without getting mired,, our shoes so besmeared with mud that it is impossible to make a decent ap- pearance at business. CONSISTENT.

Girls Who Work but Need Not. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to proposed law to compel bachelors to marry or pay tax, why not pass and enforce a law that women and girls whose financial conditions will allow them to stay home, be compelled to do so, and not be occupying men’s positions at half the salary, simply because they do net want to stay home? There are thousands of men of today out of employ- ment for the reason that these women and girls are taking their positions at half the salary. I think if such a law wag enforced, compelling all women and girls to remain at home, where they belong, it would enable all men to obtain employment and de- mand a salary that they could marry and keep a wife as they should. But at the present time all they can do is to keep themselves. Am I not right? WORKING GIRL. Patriotic Parades, To the Hditor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to the letter from ‘Young Irishman,” suggesting a parade on St. Patrick’s Day, I do not know whether he is an American citizen or not. But if he is, why not forget these foreign days and in- stead have a big turnout on Washington’s Birthday or July Fourth? This is America and evéry move we make toward instilling more patriotism in our na- tive-born citizens the letter. Every now and then we see where the Italians, the Swiss, the Dutch, the Germans, 6tc., have a big parade, celebration, etc. If they love their country, America, why not do all they can for it, and do away with these celebrations and do more at our own National holidays? Or if they in- sist on celebrating their native country holidays, let them go back te Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, etc., and celebrate over there. Hurrah for America. AN IRISH-GERMAN AMERICAN. Cash Advances to Employer. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Is there a law in the State of Missouri that will deal with an employer who takes 2% cents discount from a day’s pay (70 Gents, for 12 hours’ work) for cash advanced before payday? This is the custom in a well-patronized restaurant on Jefferson avenue, where I was employed as dishwasher. Like many more who are forced to work at anything to keep themselves from starving, I was without means and thereby compelled to ask for a few cents advance. After working from 7 a.m. un- til 7 p. m., instead of receiving 70 cents, I was given 50 cents with the understanding that 20 cents is de- ducted each day for cash in advance. As a week’s salary is $ for 8&4 hours’ work and a person has to pay for his lodgings, it looks as if a law is badly needed to protect a poor workingman from this worst type of human sharks. . F. J. WEBER, Silver House, St. Louis, Mo. Beware of the Flirt. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see by reading your daily paper that a certain man has been released from a woman who gave up home, baby and husband for a conductor. I know a few things from personal experience, and I also know that frivolous young girls and a few married women never stop to consider ‘‘or don’t care’ wheth- er a motorman or conductor is married or not, before entering into a flirtation, or what misery their care- less acts will bring to wife and mother at home waiting for her loved one; and how little a man re- gards a woman or girl who is inclined to flirt. Man is easily flattered by a young and pretty woman or girl, but when he awakes his heart is with wife and baby, or if he is not married, he thinks how easily they are won by him or others who may be out for a jolly good time regardless of consequences. e Cc. E. M. As to Learning a Trade. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I can sympathize with “P. A. 8."" and ‘‘Suspense” in your Saturday's issue. But what is the good of learning a trade when nearly everywhere you go you find they are letting men off and the papers are full of appeals through the police of well-authenticated cases of imminent starvation. I am most acquainted | with the carpenters’ and painters’ trades and can say that there are untold hundreds with nothing to do. I have not averaged $2 a week since October last. If I was entirely’ dependent upon the former trade, as many are, I should be seeking help from the Prov- ident Association. I visited friends one day recently —five men in the house, three having trades, only one was employed, and he one without a trade. A brother carpenter inserted an ad for help and over 100 replied. E. W. The Sub Letter Carrier. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to say a few words in regard to the letter in the Sunday Post-Dispatch from a sub let- ter carrier. The statement is made by Postmaster Wyman that sub carriers can earn more money by working outside while not on duty. And from a few who are musicians or barbers. I would like to be shown how it can be done? In the first place, no employer will put up with a man coming to work at uncertain hours; in the second place, a sub never knows what time he will be off for the day. He will report for duty at 6 a. m. and may not get done un- til 12 m. It is true that a few’subs can get a leave of absence, but only from about Jan. 15 to March 15. The time a sub has to wait before he is a regular may have been two or three years in the times gone by, but the way conditions are at present, I think it is safe to say that a sub who comes in now will enjoy sub life for about four or five years.

While the American. peoole believe in good roads and als@ first martyr President take the form of something that is practical, they would like to know who is

They are mad with the lust of gold, crazed by the prospect of sud- denly achieving vast: wealth through a single bold stroke. They are beyond all powers of reason, and are led by shrewd, despef®te men. To achieve their end these men have staked their lives—have not hesitated at the com- mittal of crime, even the black crime of piracy. Would the tears of a woman influence them now? Would the im- potent threat of a single, helpless man?

Ain’t that fair enough, sir?” She continued to gaze at me strange- ly, her eyes filled with questioning. “Then you—you refuse to tell us our fate?”’ ‘‘Merely » because I do not know it.

A petition signed by 1200 residents of subdivisions northwest of St. Louis was presented to General Manager McCul- loch of the United Railways Tuesday, asking for an extension of the Bellefon- taine line past Walnut Park to Goodfel- low avenue. This would relieve an intolerable con- dition now prevailing there, the resi- dents of the district say. At present the service during the morning and afternoon rush hours is by a “‘dinkie”’ on a 10-minute schedule from Walnut Park to Union boulevard. During the remainder of the day the Union cars run out to Walnut Park. Cost Would Be Small, The Bellefontaine line runs to within a few feet of the Union line at Bernays avenue, and the petitioners declare that ft could be connected and extended to Goodfellow avenue at small cost, com- _ pared to the amount of traffic. Capt. McCulloch answered the argu- ments of the petitioners by exhibiting a ' @hart showing that the Union boulevard line costs 8 cents for every 5 cents taken in. He includes the “ainkie’”’ service in this. Residents of the district affected by the petition declare that this section,

Then he thinks it will be all risht if he simply mails it to St. Louis, Mo., but fears Pube may have so many places to call home in this ‘city that the valuable document will be lost in the shuffle. Rube #8 ready to sign the paper at once if he can but get it. Mr. Hedges received a C. Q. D. mess- age from the Rube yesterday afternoon. The boss of the Browns wer*~ to the re- lief of his big pitcher at once. He touched the wires to Kansas City, where Rube has been on exhibition for tw) weeks, anu made it possible for ) . to start back home on a night train. George Edward, as hyprefers to be known, will begin today looking for a home, a ‘“‘cozy flat, a place to hang his hat,’’ and then he will sign to play once more with the Browns. It is likely that some suggestions for changes will be made at the meeting next week. The plan is to get a uniform system of scoring baseball games in all of the cities. In Pittsburg they score different- ly than they do in Philadelphia, and in Chicago they have different methods than in Louis. This is upfair to the players, because there is some dis- tinction in being a leading hitter or fielder or base runner and the players should have equal chances. & » hw &
