NO NEW APPOINTEES 5 St. Louis Board as Now Formed Will Hold’ Until After April Election. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 16.—Senator +McDavid introduced a resolution today providing for an investigation of the _wegistration of voters in St. Louis. Ac- cording to the grand jury report, Mc- David says, there are 6000 persons too Many in the St. Louis registration ‘Books. The resolution, which was referred to @ committee, directs the Senate to in- _@pect the records at the Election Com- -missioner’s office and all evidence in ion of Circuit Attorney Jones. -. The Democtatic majority in the Sen- ate thas been threatening this inquiry < two weeks, or since the contest sfor Lieutenant-Governor was decided W. R. Painter, the Dersocratic

tm _f Candidate. In a special message to the General Assembly. today, Gov. Hadley advocates n Board of Election Commis- s for St. Louls and Kansas City. The Governor says that the present sys- - tem allows an advantage to the party in control of the State administration. . “No question can be of greater im- ‘portance in a republican form of gov- ‘@rnment than that df honest elections,” ‘Bays the Governor. ‘For unless we have honest élections we do not have a@ republican form of government at all.”’ The Governor announces his intention to retain the present election commis- *sioners until after the April election. Answering the criticism of the St. Louis @rand jury that there are 6000 fraudu- lent names on the St. Louis registra- tion districts, the Governor says: ay submit to you herewith a report Made on the 9th day of February, 1909, by the Board of Election Commission- ers for the City of St. Louis in refer- “ence to certain charges of fraudulent registration that were recently made by the grand jury in the City of St .Louls. From this report it ig evident ‘that the charge made by the grand jury that there were 6000 fraudulent names ‘upon the registration books of the City of St. Louis was an estimate based upon “an examination of the registration list in 11 out of 2 wards. . Fraud Is Overestimated. “In those 11 wards the grand jury ‘Was of the opinion that it had discov- ered 1828 fraudulent names upon the egistration books, As is shown by the Teport made by the Election Commis- @ioners, the grand jury was clearly in ‘efror in this statement. On a conser- © ewe estimate, it is clear that ther @anffot be more than 300 of the names f orese in the grarid jury lst which the manifest inaccuracy of this grand jury report emphasizes the necessity of care and conservatism in the making of charges as to fraud and @ishonesty in connection with elections, it also demonstrates the truth of the _ proposition that there cannot be too @lose a scrutiny: and “examination of all of the proceedings incident to the con- G@uct of elections. tion. Suggests “A dishonest Bh wigs in the city of St. Louis is of as much injury and ~eoncern to the people of the entire State as it is to the people of that munici- "_» pality, and in case the members of this Assembly have reasonable prounds to believe that the registration _=yedueted in any regard, the.c would | be occasion for such investigation and "legislation as would correct and pre- vent & continuation of such abuses. “AN of this information is submitted to you ip View of the fact that I have “beeh that it is the intention of rn conduct an investigation tters herein referred to.

LEGISLATORS DECLARE WAR ON SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM Plan to Cut Appropriation Because It’s “More Ornamental Than Useful.” From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 1$.—The School of Journalism of the Missouri State University at Columbia will soon be a thing of the past, if suggestions to be offered the House Committee on Appropriations are approved. According to influential members of both parties, this new university feature is more or- namental than useful. The opposition on the part of legisla- tors appears to have been intensified by a recent edition of the “University Missourian,’ which was devoted to a facetious attempt at ‘“‘yellow journal- ism.”’ * Walter Williams, dean of the School of Journalism, and formerly a member of the University Board of Curators, did more than any other man to get an appropriation for this purpose from the Legislature two years ago. The House Committee are determined not to increase the university appro- priation this year. In order to provide for needs of the university, they ex- pect to apply the pruning knife to the School of Journalisrh. ‘Instead of teaching a correct under- standing of present-day journalism,”’ said a use member today, ‘‘the new school has simply toyed with the ethics of the newspaper profession.” INVENTOR SAYS SHIP BRAKE WILL STOP VESSEL QUICKLY New Device Is to Be Tested on Battleship Indiana at Phila- delphia Soon. MONTREAL, Feb. 16.—A company of Montreal business men has been formed to exploit a ship brake, the invention of Louis Lacoste of this city, son of Sir Alexander Lacoste. The invention is designed to stop a vessel suddenly. If successful, it will reduce the number of marine accidents Considerably. With the aid of his apparatus the inventor says he can bring any ship to a stand- still from the highest speed in half a length. Mr. Lacoste left yesterday for Phila- delphia, where a trial of the device will be made upon the battleship Indiana on March 20, before naval] experts of several powers. If the trials are suc- cessful it is believed that the brake wil) be attached to all United States war- ships. The brake consists of two giant wings fitted below the water line on either side of the vessel. On the Indiana the dimensfons of each wing wil! be thirteen feet by six feet.

MRS, CARMACK FPS ON THE WITNESS STAND Widow of Slain Man Consoled in Court by Her Som |

TRIED TO KEEP PEACE

Former State Treasurer Tells of His Efforts to Adjust Differences.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 16.—Mrs. E. W. Carmack was the first witness today when the trial of the Coopers and ex-Sheriff Sharp for the murder of the former Senator. was begun. While she was on the stand her som, named for his. father, stood beside , he and tried to console her. Her testimony, which was confined to establishing the identity of her hus- band and the fact of his death, was punctuated by sobs. She was not cross- examined. E. B. Craig, former State Treasurer, testified as te the efforts of different parties to adjust matters between ex- Senator Cramack and Col. Cooper. He told of having approached Carmack in regard to the matter, and when he re- ported to Col. Cooper that he could do nothing with Carmack, he said Cooper declared: “Then, by ——, this note goes.’’ Craig said that Cooper addressed a message to Carmack, in which he used the terms “‘ingrate and scoundrel,’’ and wrote that one of them “must go.’’ The editorial which appeared in Car- mack’s paper, the Tennesseean, on Nov. 9, which referred to Col. Cooper as the “diplomat of the Zweibund,’’ was today made a part of the court record of the case.. The editorial was a satirical reference to Cooper for bringing about a confer- ence between Goy. Paiterson and ex- Gov. John I. Cox, who was the Govern- or’s political enemy. Husband and Wife Devoted. It is thought that Mrs. Carmack never would have consented to be a witness were it not to give the lie to ugly gossip which has been common here among a certain, class of her hus- band’s enemies for the past several weeks. No matter what gossip mongers may say, men and women who were close to ‘‘Ned’’ Carmack and his wife say they were devoted to each other. Mrs. Carmack is a woman of a high order of intelligence and one who was thor- oughly in touch with all her husband’s brilliance und aspirations. Col. Cooper danced her on his knee when she was a baby. One of his daughters was her bridemaid when “‘Ned”” Carmack, then a budding news- paper man and just beginning tO make his pen felt in the public affairs of Tennessee, led her to the altar. Mrs. Carmack had been taught al! her life up to the dark afternoon in November last when her husband was rushed in a minute into eternity, to think of Dun- can Brown Cooper as a gentleman. The night of Nov. 9, when Mrs. Car- mack came from Columbia to claim her dead, it was not with vengeance in her heart. Her reason went that night for a few hours and a friend who stood be- side her heard her beg God not to let the ‘spirit of vengeance or hatred enter her heart.

MRS, LEMP I ARS WHILE LAWYER PLEADS ~, While Judge Dillon, her counsel, re- viewed the testimony of Mrs. William’J. Lemp and her witnesses that her ‘hus- band had knocked her down and cursed her, Mrs. Lemp sat at her counsel’s ta- ble and frequently raised her lace hand- kerchief to her eyes to stop the flow_of tears. Lemp sat in a chair in the jury box, paying close attention to the argu- ment, but he appeared little affected by it. ‘ Judge Dillon, after urging that Mrs. Lemp was entitled to a divorce on the ground of desertion alone, devoted the greater part of his argument to pleading that Mrs. Lemp be allowed a large sum as alimony in gross, not a monthly or yearly sum. He also devoted some time to urging that Mrs. Lemp be given the custody of the child, William J. Lemp III, saying: **Mr. religious'beliefs. You should remember this in thinking of the child’s future, and you should also remember the tes- timony about Lemp’s associations with evil women before he was married.”’ Places Fortune at $2,000,000. In his argumént he also "declared the Court could provide liberally for Mrs. Lemp, and that her husband would have a large fortune left. ‘From the testimony in this case, said Judge Dillon, “Mr. Lemp’s wealth is shown to be not less than $1,500,000. It is about $2,000,000. “Here are two young people. is young today, 80 years old. has before her many years of life, maybe 50. It seems there can be no reconciliation. Mr. Lemp’s demeanor shows bitterness, Mrs. Lemp has been humiliated and most cruelly treated by him, not once, but for years. “She has shown supreme endurance and a capacity to suffer what few women would have endured. How many women would have submitted to such treatment? But she loved him and believed that some time or other he would change. “Now for the next forty or fifty years does she have to be dependent on get- ting a monthly check from Mr. Lemp, and must she continue to go on in this way for years with a mere pittance? “Wealth May Be Wiped Out.” “Mr. Lemp is able to pay a liberal all- mony in gross and still have left an im- mense fortune, more than one man in @ million has. “Has she got to be subjected to the ups and downs of his business? His wealth may be wiped out. The brew- ery business may decline and break up, and she may be without a cent. “There is also the possibility of him getting married again. Others may. be dependent on him, and “if his wealth should be reduced to a mere ordinary income, she would suffer, while the others would be taken care of. “Mr. Lemp as a father did not show proper regard for his child. Though he was only across the street for six weeks, he did not enter the Lemp yard to see’ the child. The Court must take into account the father’s former life, the fact that he has no religious be- liefs and the treatment of his wife, in determining the future custody of this child. The child is entitled to a re ligious training, which he would never get if left in the care of his father. “Mr. Lemp has shown hitnself to be & man not to be relied on.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 16.—Armed with a revolver in one hand and a dynamite bomb in the other, a man apparently about 40 years of age today entered the home of Lawrence M. Jones, president of the Jones Brothers Dry Goods Co. of this city, and demanded $7000. By a ruse Mr. Jones overpowered the man, who was arrested. At the police station the bomb threwer gave the name of C. H. Garnett. He appeared at the Jones home, 2613 Troost avenue, shortly before noon and asked for Mr. Jones. library. Mr. Jones, upon entering the library, was confronted by the intruder’s re- volver. The man told Mr. Jones that unless the latter gave him $7000 he would immediately blow him into atoms. Jones began talking with his visitor, and after an hour Mrs. Jones entered the room. She was ordered to sit down and a son who came later was also made a prisoner. The conversation was kept up for three hours. Mr. Jones then suggested that as he did not have the necessary funds in the house the man accompany him to the bank. The man agreed. As the pair were passing through the lower hall Mr. Jones stepped suddenly back and placing his foot in front of his visitor, hurled him to the floor. Mr. Jones and his son then overpowered the man and stripping him of his weapons called the police. The bomb did not explode when the intruder fell. At tne police station it was said that the officers had not in- vestigated the bomb and would not do 50... Jones is one of the vest known dry goods merchants of the country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—President- elect Taft arrived here at 6:30 o'clock this morning from Cincinnati over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Shortly thereafter he Went to the White House to breakfast with the President. The trip from Cincinnati was without rFincident. President-elect and Mrs. Taft later went to the home of Miss Mabel Board- man, which will be their home during their stay here. It is Mrs. Taft's intention to go to New York tomorrow on a shopping tour. Just before going to the White House for his conference with Presi- dent Roosevelt this afternoon, Presi- dent-elect Taft set at rest all doubts that may have existed as to the ques- tion of Senator Knox's entry into the Cabinet. “IT ofrered the portfolio of Secretary of State to Senator Knox and he ac- cepted it. Nothing has occurred to make him change his decision,” said the President-elect. In conversation with Senators Knox and Lodge early in the day Taft said that he had not doubted at any time that Congress could and would pass the legislation necessary to legalize the former’s acceptance of the port- folio. “I do not like 40 put Mr. Knox in the position of ignoring the Consti- tutional knowledge expounded on the House floor, but he will be in the Cab- inet.” said Mr. Taft, laughingly. “As I see the section of the Constitution, it is intended only to prevent @ man receiving actual) benefit from an of- fice which is created, or the emolu- ments of which are increased during his term of service in Congress. By the action taken the evil has been remediéd.” At noon the President-elect received a final report of the Board of Con- sulting Engineers who accompanied him on the Panama trip. It recom- mended that the canal be completed on the lock pian. During the forenoon Mr, Taft had short conferences with Senators Knox | and Lodge and Forester Gifford Pin-} chot.

Last week Fortner is said to have told Steer that thet deal had been practically agreed on, with -$105,000 as the purchase price. He wished to show Tulley the money, or a part of it, he said, and Steer gave Fortner a check for $12,000, payable to Tulley, and bearing notations which showed that it was » part of the intended purchase price. When Fortner called on Tulley and showed him the $12,000 check, Tullev a vain refused to consider the deal at a ny figure below his own price, and told the real estate man to take Steer’s check back to the maker, and to “quit bot h- ; ering.” Fortner asked Tulley, latter the - would prefer to return it with his indorsement. Ign his name. indorse the check, saying he Tulley says he refused to aays, to Steer Asks for Deed. - Steer waited Friday and Saturday for Fortner to bring him the receipt and the deed to the property. He called up Fortner’s home Sunday by tele- phone, and wes told that Fortner was out of the city. Monday Steer went to the Third National Bank, on which the check was drawn, and learned that the check, with Tulley’s indorsement, had gone to the +s Clearing House. Steer then called up Tulley, and asked him where the deed was. Tulley told him there had been no transfer, and that he had not indorsed , the check. : Steer then traced the check and learned that it had been deposited with * the St. Louis Union Trust Co, and a trust company treasurer’s check for + $11,000 eashed by Fortner at the National Bank of Commerce.

‘ With Imitation of His Signature Henry J. Tulley paid Thursday that his deal with Mr. Steer had continued “over a period of about two months, and . that during practically all that time Mr. ; Fortner had been calling on him every ) few days in regard to it. + .“T finally became tired of the uncer- ty of the transaction,’’ said Mr. Tul- “I didn’t care about selling the rty, anyway. It was paying me oh than 6 per cent on $125,000 and I ‘ considered it a good investment. "“Finally last Wednesday Mr. Fortner came to me with a proposition that I ‘sell it to Mr. Steer for $101,000. I re- fused absolutely. He offered me the get check made out in my favor a $12,000. I refused to accept it. He then suggested that I indorse the check, ‘as my signature would ‘be required for ’Mr. ‘Steer to get his money back. it “new better than that. I told him . Bteer would have to do would ) the check at the bank. Mth a laughing, ‘Oh, yes, that’s so.’ . Fortner waved his hand and walked but of my office. I have not seen him sinee that thme. I understand the check was cashed the next day. | “l examined the check. It bears my “wome all right, but it is not my signa- ture. Undoubtedly, however, an at- tempt was made to imitate my signa- wre. Of course I do not know who "3 i.” The property Mr. Steer was very anx- ‘fs to buy is a new apartment build- ‘iet, with stores below, at Union and Serven avenres. YL have figured my investment, in. ‘lading the time and trouble of erect- "gs the building, at $125,000. Mr. Steer, hrough Mr. Fortner, made many differ- -*9t offers for it, ranging all the way . ‘om pe to $107,000. I at one time agreed to take the $107,000, and gave -him a &%-hour option on the property at that price. Offered to Close at $107,000. “He was not ready to take it when the option expired, though I was of- fered a check for $1000 to bind the bar- gain. I insisted the whole deal would have to be closed that day. When it was not closed, I told Mr. Fortner 1 would have no further dealings with him in the matter, as I really wanted keep the property, and was tired of the delay and being bothered about it. “Mr. Fortner begged me not to be hasty. He tolds«me he was a young man working hard to get a standing in the real estate business and that if he could close this deal it would mean a great deal to him. That was before I gave the option. I had already attempt- ed to terminate all negotiations. He told me if I would hold off for a day he was certain he could bring Mr. Steer around to my price of $107,000, which I then agreed to take. I felt sorry for Mr. Fortner, and was giad to be of assistance to him. For that rea- zon I gave him the option. - “I did not really seriously consider the deal after Mr. Steer failed to take advantage of the option.” Third National Not Concerned. C. H. Huttig, president of the Third National Bank, said: “The Third Na- tional is not concerned about the mat- ter of the Steer check. Mr. Steer ob- tained a cashier's check here but it was not cashed here.

No time limit for the arguments was fixed. Judge Dillen of counsel for Mrs. Lemp, made the opening argu- ment. “Did you dress to attract attention?’ Mrs. Lemp’s attorney, Jolin 8. Leahy, asked her. “Absolutely no,”” said Mrs. Lemp. “Did you wear turn-down collars out of style, as Mr. Lemp asserts?’ “No; quite the contrary.’’ Deoesn’t Remember Lavender. “Did you wear lavender to the éxclu- sion of other colors?’ “IT don’t remember ever wearing lav- ender in my life.’’ ‘‘What were your favorite colors?”’ “Black, white and violet, and some- times tan and gray. My trousseau was of those colors.’ “Did your husband object to them?” “No; he admired my trousseau very much,”’ Mrs. in St. Louis and educated in St. cent’s Convent. Attorney Lehmann, for Lemp, object- ed to testimony as to where she was educated. Education and Clothing. Judge Dillon, for Mrs. Lemp, insist- ed that her education would be com- petent testimony in judging the extent of the indignity she may have suffered through ridicule of her religion. A per- son reared in a convent, he said, might be sensitive on such matters. Judge Hitchcock permitted the question and answer to remain on the record, but said that Mrs. Lemp’s education could not be considered as having @ny bear- ing on the way she dressed. Correspondence between Mrs. counsel and Lemp was introduced evidence without being read. One of Mrs. Lemp’s allegations in her motion for alimony was that her hus- band had not supported her since their separation in October, 1906. $500 a Month Alimony. Testifying on this point, Mrs. Lemp threw light on the alimony agreement, the details of which have not heretofore been published. “In May or June after the separation my husband sent me a check for $300,"’ she said. ‘‘He sent the same amount every month fer three or four months, but in each case I sent the checks back to him on the advice of my counsel, Judge Dillon. In June last there was an agreement by which Mr. Lemp paid me $4000 in back alimony and $600 a month while this trial should be pend- ing.’”’ Asked if she had ever sent letters to her husband after the separation, she said: “IT sent him presents, but I can't say that I sent him any letters.” Mrs. Lemp denied that she had ever criticised Lemp’s mother. “T visited Mrs. Lemp every day, and we were devoted to each other,”’ she said. “I never objected to our boy visiting her.” She said that she was devoted to her household duties, and denied that she had instructed servants not to cook for her husband. The Cigarette Picture, She was asked about the pictures in- troduced in evidence showing her with a cigarette and with a liquor glass. ‘“T was 16 years old, maybe only 15, when these were taken,” she said. “The other girl in the picture was my sister, and the photograph was made by my brother. We kept them in our room in a linen frame. Mr. Lemp thought them the cutest pictures he ever saw, and when we separated he took them with him."’ Lemp testified that she was born Vin- Lemp’s in Combats, Servant’s Testimony. Mary Gartner, a servant in the Lemp home, testifying in rebuttal of the testi- mony of Rosa Sachsberger, another servant, skid that she and Rosa occu- pied the same room, directly under the guest chamber, the night Mrs. Lemp al- leges her husband knocked her down, and that she heard Lemp walking the floor of the guest chamber, but that neither she nor Rosa knew who it was. They supposed it was a@ guest and Rosa sald she would find out in the morning about the eccupant of the so that she would know how to arrange breakfast. Rosa had testified that she went to the room and asked

He said he had started to leave the house, when Lemp called him back and then drew the revolver on him. He testified that Mrs. lLemp’s mail was delivered at the brewery. Robert Johnstone, the Lemp chaffeur, contradicted the testimony of Henry Besch, proprietor of Cherokee Garden, that Besch was the man with Mr. Lemp the night that two women were taken to the Lemp home during the absence of Mrs. Lemp. Besch testified that the women were his wife and daughter. Johnstone said he knew Besch wel! and stated positively that Besch was not the man with the party. He said he did not know Mrs. Lemp and Miss Lemp and could not say whether they were the two women of the party. ; While waiting in the courtroom Mon- day afternoon for a carriage, Mrs. Lemp remarked to a court official that she was glad the trial was nearing conclusion. She said the nervous strain had taxed her energy and that she was nearly exhausted. “If I had not slept all day Sunday I would not have been able to attend the trial today,’’ she said. She also expressed regret at her fall- ure in matrimony. ‘‘My experience is not very inspiring for young girls who ex- pect to get married,’’ she gaid. ‘‘Maybe they will 4earn a lesson from what I have heen through.” BALLOT NO, 32 IN ILLINOIS DEADLOCK WITHOUT RESULT Senator Hopkins Fails to Show New Strength, Polling 67 Votes.

POST-DISPAT CA NEWS OF THE CANDIDATES IN SCHOOL CONTEST

The election to choose ’10 school chil- dren to go to Washington as guests of the Post-Dispateh to see the iInaugura- tion of President Taft, with but nine days more for effort, progresses on ever-broadening lines. Each day sees a large number of candidates increasing their working forces and adding to their total of daily ballots. The circle of friends of each contestant grows wider and wider every 24 hours, and those who have been highest in’ the race so far are within striking distance of doz- ens of their competitors. East St. Louis has a new interest in the school contest owing to the forging to the front of a pupil of the Monroe School. She is Addie Braun, daughter of H. M. Braun, claim agent for the Fast St. Louis & Suburban Street Ralil- Way system. She lives at 1618 Belmont avenue. Many of the street railroad employes. have rallied to her support, and, as shown in the table published in the last Sunday Post-Dispatch, she ranked first among the candidates from across the river.

Among the St. Louis girl candidates, one who is steadily climbing to the top is Beatrice Linton of the Crow School. Besides a small army of schoolmates who are work.ng in her behalf, she also has the support of a large number | of

adults. Her father, who died a, few years ago, was in his time one of the best known lawyers in St. Louis, and her grandfather was a noted physician of this city. Walter H. Fath of the McKinley High School has many friends throughout the city who are sending in votes for him. He was graduated at the Blow School a year ago last January, and is making a fine record at the McK ley. His father is Chief Deputy C ner and the entire staff in that city department is hoping for his success. —— Louis Resnick of Yeatman High is making a mest energetic campaign. One of his devices for interesting people in his candidacy is a handsome souvenir postal card, in colors, bearing the por- traits of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt and President-elect Taft, the “past, present and future,” while on the address side of*the card is printed: “TIT am.a candidate for the P.-D. Taft Inaugural Trip Election, and solicit your hearty support.” Miss Edith Grant of Central High, who has many friends in the suburbs, is to make a campaign speech to the pupils of the Maplewood school at the noon recess hour Wednesday.

Desire to Control Oil Business of the State Not Part of Program.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Féb. 16.—The Su- preme Court has taken under advisement the Statg’s demand that+ the Waters- Pieree Oil Co. be ousted because the company failed to separate itself from thé Standard Oil Co. or make any show- ing that it had done so. It is probable the court will issue an order giving the interested parties notice of a chance to be heard. It is very evident that Judge H. S. Priest did not expect when he paid the $50,000 into court yesterday that before he could get out of town there would be a de- mand that his company be completely ouséed, for he went away perfectly sat- isfied just before the Attorney-General filed his reply. If any move !s made to enforce the law which prevents one corporation from owning the stock of another, John Ken- nish, at least, does not expect it to come from Priest. He is interested in the public utilities of St. Louis, which ure owned by the nonresident North American Co. Tried to Protect Pierce. The utilities of KaMmsas City are owned by New Jersey corporations and so, too, are the utilities of St. Joseph, so that working in that direction would hurt friends that Priest would rather pro- tect. When the Supreme Court issued its decree ousting the subsidiary companies of the big Standard Oi] Trust, it tried to save the Waters-Pierce company from complete dissolution because Pierce claimed that as a minority stockholder he had tried to obey the law. The part of the decree that the Wa- ters-Pierce company wholly ignored pro- vides that the company cannot operate till it has provided the Court with con- clusive evidence that it has reorganized and has cut loose from all combinations to control prices. The Court had given one extension of a month, now the State is demanding action. It is altogether likely that the be good by putting Its property in the control of a commission trust, one mem- ber appointed by the company and one by the State, will come up for consid- eration in connection with this demand for ouster of the Waters-Pierce Co. ° Judge Priest says tne Waters-Pierce Co. is. not seeking to get control of the oil business of the whole State. It is not prepared to handle it. In the first place the Waters-Pierce Co. refines no oils in the United States. It has to buy its oil from the Standard Oil Co. and is, after all, only an agent with the ma- jority stock in the control of the manu- facturing and producing company. SCIATICA LOSES TTS TERRORS This Disease Is a Form of Neuralgia and fs Cured’ by the Remedy That Cures Other Forms. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and the treatment should be the same as for other forms of neuralgia. Lack of blood is almost always asso- diated with neuralgia. Build up the blood, the impoverished nerves are fed and the neuralgic pains disappear. Ab- solute rest is the best aid to proper medical treatment. So many severe cases of sciatica have been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills that every sufferer is justified in giving the treatment a thorough trial. A recent cure is that of Mr. L. H. Smith, a farmer, of Bolivar, Ohio, who says: ; “I think the sciatica in my ¢ se W caused by a heavy fall on md fate bie. I kept on working after the injury which had left my leg and hip wery sore.

| | NU LIVING MAM CAN VILLIFY Mt, SHOUTS HEN al ‘

In Open Court Prosecutor Sets Limit Beyond Which “None Dare Go.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.—At_ the trial of Patrick Calhoun on an indict- ment charging bribery, Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Francis J. Heney today resented the demeanor of a witness on the stand and declared that he had “drawn a line over which no living man may step in villifying him.’’ Samuel J. Leake, who was summoned to the stand during the examination of veniremen because of an allegation that he had endeavored to purchase an in- terest in the haberdashery business con- ducted by a brother of one of the jurors, warned Mr. Heney that he could make certain revelations concerning the prose- cutor’s past. Leake, who had been ques- tioned as to his visits to a saloon, said: “I think it very tmproper for you to refer to these things, Mr. Heney. I could tell of places-I saw you’’— That’ll Be About All.” “I want you to stop that right now,” interrupted Heney. “I don’t propose that you shall make any more threats. You are here to answer questions.” “There is one conversation you don’t care to refer to,’’ retorted the witness. “There Was one when you went up the back way into the Call office and tried to go back on Phelan and Spreckles.’’—— “That's all there will be of that,” said Heney. “I took this sort of thing from Henry Ach (attorney for Abraham Reuf) for months, until it led to an attempt at assassination, and after this I want it understood that I won't take it from any man living. If Y am going to be shot again, 111 be shot in front, not from behind, nor from the side.’’ Lewis F. Byington of the defense here took exception, saying: ‘‘We believe that the District Attorney should rec- ognize the limits of hig duty in exam- ining a witness.’’ Heney Draws a Line. Mr. Heney, rising, pitched his voice so that it penetrated beyond the room and said: “This District Attorney is doing his duty as such, but before I am a District Attorney I am an American citizen, and in that capacity I want to say right here and now that I draw a line over which no living man may step. For months I took all the villification that could be heaped upon me merely “te cause I dared to do my duty, which someone had to do, but I am through with it now, and I want this thoroughly understood.”’ The panel of 12 tentative jurors was broken by the discharge of one on per- emptory challenge, Two alleged cases of jury tampering were made public.

——-@— ee ee Claims Women Can Rely ¢ on New Treatment

Relieving Constipation and Purify- ing the System. The wonderful new treatment for constipation is claiming the attention of the public and physicians alike. , It is asserted that there has always been difficulty experienced in formulating a physie for women, owing to their sensitive organism, but that the new treatment called cascaroyal pills can absolutely be relied upon to produce no drastic cramping, griping or pain; and only pleasant action is known to fol- low their use. One physician asserts that many of the distressing ailments of the.fair sex are due to the effects of neglected constipation. Every woman who has pimples or a sallow complexion, headache, indigestion, nervousness, pain and distress will doubtless welcome this new cascaroy- al pill compound of castor oil, cascara, wild lemon, black cherry, sulphur, etc., and sugar cofited too, so that there ix no nausea to overcome. Many won- en and men, too, in this locality are convinced that there never. was any- thing so good and pleasant to relieve constipation and rid the system of poisons due to it. Every drug store can supply Blackburn’s cascaroyal pills in ten and twenty-five . cent packages. Any one can get a free ane by addressing the Blackburn roducts Co, Dayton, Ohio. It gives a pleasurable’ action of the bowels for both adults; and children, very different from any other medicine. |

The game will be played on the same terms that prevailed last year, the management of the Red- skins to receive 50 per cent of the gross receipts. Dr. D. C. Todd, faculty ath- letic member of St. Louis University, made this positive statement this morn- ing. It was thought that there was still a possibility of the St. Louis U. team playing the Brown University team Thanksgiving day instead of the Car- lisle eleven, but the Indians were ac- cepted, following a letier from Brown, stating that.the Eastern school had all its engagements filled. Later Brown wrote, stating that it might consent to come, but the date was already filled. @—_—_~fersonal sense.

Baseball Chatter Culled From Buttonhole Confabs

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. CHICAGO, Feb. 16, 1909. Frank Bowerman,* newly appointed manager of the Boston National League Club, is here looking for one or two in- flelders and another outfielder. He was informed yesterday that Vincent Camp- bell, the St. Louls boy who was tried out by the Cubs last spring, is now a free agent and Frank heard such glow- ing reports of the youngster’s ability that he wants to get him for a trial if possible. Campbell was tried as a catcher and an outfielder by Frank Chance, but he was none too strong at either place. However, one who saw Campbell work declares he will make a great first baseman, and Bowerman wants to give him a trial there. Old Uncle Ben Shibe, owner of the Philadelphia American League Club, is here attending the meeting. Uncle Ben Tis well past 8 years of age now, but still takes greater delight in baseball than anything else. He and Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, arrived during the blizzard of yesterday after- noon, Tom Loftus, one-time manager of the Washington: club and before that with the Chicago club, {is visiting Charigy Comiskey during the meeting. He and “Commy” have been close friends for years and Tom runs over from many uque quite often. his home in Dub George Stallings. the new manager of the New York Yankees, spent over an hour last might in secret conversation ——

Audience Trapped at Perform- ance to Honor Governor in Acapulco, Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. — No Americans loat their lives in_ the theater fire at Acapulco, Mexico, ac- cording to a dispatch received at the State Department today from Ameri- can Consul Maxwell K. Moorehead. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 16.—The ex- plosion of a moving-picture machine cost between 20 and 300 lives in the city of Acapulco, when the Flores Thea- ter was destroyed by fire Sunday night during a special performance and en- tertainment in honor of the Governor of Guerrero. Many of the survivors are badly injured. United States Consul Maxwell Moore- head and his assistant, Fred Hummel, who, with thetr families, occupied a box in the theyter, escaped uninjured. The fate of tke guest of honor, the visiting Governyr, is in doubt. Fire Leyped to Drapery. The theater was a wooden structure, with three narrow exits. More than 1000 persons crowded into the place Sunday night to witness the special performance, The theater had been decorated with flags and bunting, in honor of the vis- iting Governor. While the moving pic- tures were being thrown on the stage screen and the house was in dark- ness, there wag a sudden flash from the picture mag¢ghine and a tongue of flame from a hurning film leaped to a nearby string of bunting. It fastened itself on the drapery, shot clear around the parquet, an by the time the au- dience realized what had happened, the building was burning. ' Bodies Blocked Firemen. It was an utter impossibility for the crowd to escape through the three small exits. When the Volunteer Fire De- partment, aroused by the screams of the imprisoned men and women, reached the theater with their meager fire-fight- ing apparatus, they found the little doors choked with human bodies. The firemen could neither drag them from the deerways nor penetrate the en- trances to rescue any who might be alive within. ‘Fhe firemen were forced to limit their efforts to saving adjoin- ing buildings. The Governmant telegraph office, near the theater, was badly damaged by the fire and for a while the wires were,/out of service. One of the messages re- ceived here said that 235 bodies had been recovered from the ruins of the theater, but this report has not been confirmed. The municipal authorities insisted upon the immediate interment of the bodies, without waiting for efforts at | identification. Large trenches were dug land the dead were buried as fast as they were taken from the ruins. Official Records Saved, The performance in honor of the vis- iting Governor was considered a social affair of great importance, and many of the first families of Acapulco were at- tending. Many of them perished in the fire. The Postoffice and the Customs House were damaged, but most of the Govern- ment records were saved. Acapulco, with about 5000 population, is on the western coast of the State of Guerrero. It is one of the three best ports of Mexico’s Pacific Coast. The harbor is considered tne best in Mexico, and most of the steamer lines plying those waters make the city a port of call. The climate ts unhealthful, and there are few Americans there. , 20 FEET-OF WIRE COILED IN ARTERY SAVES HIS LIFE Patient Recovering From One of the Most Dangerous Operations Known to Surgeons. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 16.—Twenty feet of silver wire coiled inside the aorta—the great artery leading from his heart—probabiy has saved the life of Richard Wheaton, a retired British sol- dier. He is recovering from the opera- tion, one of the most delicate and dan- gerous known to modern surgery. Dr. D. C. Barber, superintendent of the hos- pital, performed the operation. When.the patient was admitted to the hospital recently the doctors found he was suffering from an aneurism. At one point in the aorta, the wall of the artery was so thin that pressure of the blood had all but blown it out. The doctors decided to interpose an artificial wall in front of the wounded spot. An incision was made disclosing the artery and a hollow needle was thrust Into’it. The fine silver wire was passed through the hole in the needle. It was so fine that when the end came in contact with the opposite wall of the artery it turned, and, as more wire was pushed in, it curved round and round, forming a spiral the size of the artery, and thus traveled along the artery. Police ¢ te Practice Shooting. The annual revolver practice of the Police Department will begin this year Feb. 22 and end June 9 The schedule has been prepared and ‘the differént Diatoons notified as to the time they will appear at the range in the aban- Bach

; THE “ENDLESS CHAIN.” When the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. pays the fine of $50,000 for violating the laws of Missouri against restraint of trade, the “original question”’ immediately recurs in its clearest and most un- mistakable form. & : “On the history of the case as it has been pre- geited by the local managers of the Waters- Pierce company throughout, a majority of its stock was acquired against their wishes by the Standard Oil system and their company was thus forced to commit monopoly, as it were, “under Ne gia ‘i 7 ‘ 4 3 , f .

It is clear already as’are the whole body of corporation laws, passed to give individuals the freest opportunity for the ‘most effective co-operation, without at any time authorizing or permitting one corporation to give birth to a “brood” or endless chain of other cor- porations out of itself, all intended to evade its own original responsibiMties to the laws which created it. — | That was the issue raised in Missouri. It re- mains vital in Missouri and out. If the endless chain of corporations is to be perpetuated, the in- dependent corporation, fulfilling the lawful pur- poses of its creation, cannot be. Nor can political institutions, based on law, demanding individual responsibility and making the rights and duties of citizenship paramount survive as against any attempt at organizing an irresponsible system intended to supersede them. = = i i The theater with insufficient or closed exits is the world over.

Next Thursday, Feb. 18, has been designated by the Election Commissioners as the day for pre- cimct registration in preparation for the munici- pal elections in April. The precinct registration offices will be open from 8 a. m. until 10 p. m. This will be the only opportunity this spring for al registration. Those who are unable to | pr on that day on account of illness or absence from the city can register at the office _ of the Board of Election Commissioners on Feb. _ 19 and March 21. Transfers may be made at _ the City Hall. The awakening of citizens to the need of good «government will of little effect unless good citizens cast their ballots for good candidates. Every citizen entitled to vote should register and east his ballot. _ The.cause of good government is menaced 28 much by good citizens who neglect to vote as by bad citizens who attempt frauds on the ballot box. When all citizens of voting age register and vote, good election results are assured. i i i. — S _ The Election Board dentes the accuracy of the ' grand jury’s estimate of 6000 illegally registered - voters in this eity. But why should there be & fraction of that number on the registration _ books? Give us clean registration. _ i i. i i A SUMPTUARY ABSURDITIES.

Hadley’s reported plan for the creation of a commission to study the liquor traffic and the working of laws and methods adopted in other states and countries to control and regulate it for the guidance of the State Legislature in de- vising laws on the subject, is sane and sensible. The only sound basis of legislation is full knowl- edge of the prinriples, the facts and the results of experiences and experiments in the past. The Governor ¢ right in saying that the liquor question is social, not political. Social questions are delicate and {ntricate. They require the most intelligent consiferation and treatments. Effi- cient legislation for the regulation of social cus- toms and conduct can only be framed by careful study and wise cumprehension of social forces and | tendencies: Never was there such reckless plunging in ex- perimental legislation on the subject of liquur traffic as there is today. Most of the experiments are not only futile but disastrous. They inter- fere with the private conduct of citizens, disturb conditions, destryy property and deprive thou- sands of the meays of living without accomplish- ing the desired object. Extreme measures are always futile. Prohibition does not prohibit and excessive regulation nullifies regulative laws. There is a chaotic jumble of proposals bearing upon the liquor traffic before our State Legisla- ture; nor is thig condition exceptional. Prac- tically every state legislature is afflicted with a flood of bills on ¢he subject. Some of them vio- late fundamental principles of government. Many of them disregard public policy and defy the les- sons of experience. Most of them ignore human nature and the strongest social forces. Nearly all are raw, crude¢, impracticable. It is better to learn from the experience of others than engage in disastrous experiment. The whole probtem of liquor legislation should be divorced from the hysteric emotionalism and evangelism which are now the most conspicuous factors in the attempt to influence public opinion and legislative bodies. It should be placed upon a basis of scientific inquiry and sober judgment. There is no suser method of énforcing public opinion and guiding legislative action into safe channels than by thorough inveStigation. The work of a well-sejected commission created not for the purpose of vegulating the liquor traffic, but to obtain information and make recommendations based upon its researches would be invaluable at this time. We nyed light. $e Although there gs general approval of the bill removing Senator Knox’s disqualification for Mr. Taft’s Cabinet, it 4s gratifying to note that there was both Democratic and Republican opposition in the House to the measure on the ground of principle. It indigates that the Constitution has more weight in Washington than we suspected. = = il -_ eS BALLOT REFORM. Representative Huck of Ste. Genevieve County is on the right road in his proposal of an amend- ment to the electipn law providing for a single ballot containing the names of all tke candidates seeking election and for the system of indicating preferences by marking instead of scratching. Our present ballot system requiring separate ballots for each party and compelling voters to scratch the name of each candidate for whom he does not want to vote and write in the name of each candidate for whom he wants to vote is antiquated and clumsy. It discourages indepen- dent voting. It makes for slow voting and slow counting. It is costly. - Ballot reform is an essential part of election reform. Our election laws are in the main shaped by party bosses for the promotion of partisan- ship and the benefit of party organizations. Let us have amended laws for the benefit of citizens who want good government. hin A — — = Mr. Frohman is an obliging gentleman.

' = = a4 MISSOURI MEMORIAL The bill to be introduced in the Missouri Gen- eral Assembly, asking for an appropriation of $100,000 for the erection of a Missouri memorial in the Vicksburg National Cemetery Park, would seem to deserve passage as tending to emphasize the important part played by Missouri soldiers in one of the greatest sieges in all the history of war. : Missouri’s contribution to the militant forces confronting each other at Vicksburg reached 4 total of 42 commands, 27 of which were Union and 15 Confederate. The Missourians thus en- listed under opposing standards fought bravely Union and Confederate troops alike believing that they were fighting for the right, and their courage and devotion call for recognition from their State. Such recognition is desirable for the maintenance of Missouri’s proper place in history as taught by a study of the Civil War’s great battlefields. It is for the State to insure this recognition. The necessary appropriation should be granted by a vote in which party lines are not drawn. = =] rT Te It is really surprising how a woman who does not manifest any great appreciation of the value of her husband will sue for $10,000 for his loss when some other woman gets him.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ There is a disposition on the part of the “great’’ press and the “‘great’’ men generally to keep away from live wires. The auction sale of 0 men recent- ly (and the further fact that thousands more could be disposed of in similar form) elicits no comment from these guardians of the people. What is the matter with civilization? Is it on its deathbed? Men who see things, and are trying to do things, are looked upon as being ill-balanced. But they are the Sane ones, as history has proved. ? SIDNEY AVERILL.

Mr. Crutcher Explains. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. My attention has been called to the criticisms of the attitude I had taken in the matter of the issu- ance of liquors at the Confederate Home in Hig- ginsville. The critics are all laboring under a mis- Statement of the facts. In the recent investigation, there was no mention of the practice formerly in vogue at. the Confederate Home, viz., the indis- criminate issuance of whisky to inmates. The Board of Managers stopped this quite a while ago. It was charged* that certain officers and employes were given to the excessive use of liquors, and the charge was proven. The question of the old veterans re- quiring liquor and receiving same on prescription of the house surgeon was not a part of the recent in- vestigation, reporters to the contrary notwithstand- ing. JAMES N. CRUTCHER, : Member State Board of Charities. Kansas City, Mo. Employing Men Only. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch... Under existing conditions, I understand that the writer who signs ‘Justice’ is doing her best. It is girls of her fine character that keep up the dig- nity of the workingwoman in office and shop. Some years back I thought as Justice, but experience and observation have taught me differently. Read the article, ‘“‘Those Contented Clerks,’”’ in last (Feb. 6, 1909,) Saturday Evening Post. Notice the effect the employed women have upon men’s salaries. Have you ever noticed the squaw carrying the burden of work, while the buck sits around smoking his pipe? Have you noticed the negro mammy bending over her washboard, hard at it, while her spouse lolls about, smoking his pipe? Well, this is just what the white woman is bringing about with her male sex. Let the women do the work; let the men sit around—a fine outlook of degeneracy. Let women forsake the pur- suits of man and be contented in their lonely kitch- en and household duties. Let us all be good moth- ers and when we stand before our God, to hear the sweet words, ‘‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”’ ANOTHER WIFE. — Justice and “Jokers.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. When the anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws of Missouri were being passed, they were loaded (as is inevitable, with ‘‘jokers’’ and riders intended to make them a ridiculous absurdity. They are enforceable in spite of these absurdities. But whenever they are about to be enforced, the official who wishes to do 1 so can find the ridiculous absurdity as a reason for stopping. If he knows anything of law and politics, he knows exactly how and why the absurdity was saddled on the law. He defines not the law but him- self in looking for and finding the ‘‘joker.’”’ One of the jokers saddled on the Missouri anti-monopoly law might be discussed or deplored as likely to work “at- tainder’ against all persons interested as stockhold- ers in corporations convicted of violating the anti- monopoly law. This is merely one of the nullifying attempts at absurdity, provided as a reserve joker against the crisis of law enforcement. Of course, the State of Missouri is neither confiscating proper- ty nor attempting to declare attainder against per- sons. Its laws are for the defense of the rights of business and of persons. Their enforcement will be for the benefit of all, including finally the benefit even of the law-breaker, whom they check in lawless- ness and restore to just. methods. MISSOURI. A Woman’s Sore Strait. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like someone to kindly’ advise me how l, a woman who has raised a large family and have grown children, am to act? My husband gave me to another man told him to take care of me, as he did not want me, and I could have the children and said he could go with a younger and better woman. Now, would I do right to live with the one that is willing to take care of me, or must I. stay with the one that gave me away. My husband can’t love me and the young woman, too, and he can’t make @ living for both of us; and he won't pay for a di- vorce. Please advise me what to do. AN UNHAPPY WOMAN, A Question of Law and Right. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I think an injustice has been done the woman whose claim to damages for the death of her child was re- jected lately in the courts. It was claimed that the child was not a person and that there was no prece- dent for awarding the mother anything. I think it is time, then, to make a precedent. The essen- tial question is not so much when the injury was received, but as to whether an injury was done to the party so claiming, that it was done by the party charged as guilty and that the injured party died of such injury and that the plaintiff was legally entitled to collect damages. All these questions have been satisfactorily answered. I would like to ask why it is that when a woman is injured by a street car and a few months later her child is born so !n- jured by the accident that it is unable to live but 4 few months, the affair causing the mother mental and physical anguish, the death of a ehild, the pe- cuniary loss suffered by the parent for subsequent loss of services, that she gets no redress whatever, on the grounds that the child wag not legally a person at the time of the injury. If not a person, what, then, was it? If not a person, why, then, is a woman or anyone who aids her, guilty of manslaughter if the schild is disposed of any time at all in the action of the year precedinghis birth?

It’s hard when we all go together And the people in ‘opulence gtin at The flat dwellers present and wonder Where in thunder you ever got in at; Andi the more millionaires you discover, The more are you rendered forlorn To imagine them saying, “I know him— Ha-ha! Why, he can’t buy a horn.” And there isn’t a bit of enjoyment In seeing a dealer kow-towing To four or five millions and blowing the horn Of an automobile he is showing, And when you approach the exhibit, One glance at your clothes, and the ire You see in his optic reminds you That you haven’t the price of a tire. But a night for poor people—great Caesar! . The city would flock to the scene, And the dealer would be a good fellow And let us sit in his machine! ‘ We wouldn’t go home until morning, And no one would enter the door And ‘afterward feel like escaping Through a little knot-hole in the floor.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. Jack Stephens, an American seaman, be- comes involved in a bcotless revolution in Chile and flies to Valparaiso. While wait- ing for some means of escaping from the city he saves Lady Darlington from the unwelcome attentions of a drunken Chilean naval! officer, Sanchez. He learns that her name is Doris. Later a burly South American asks for a pri- vate conference, and offers him a commission in the Peruvian Navy. He !s to steal the Chilean converted yacht Esmeralda, then ly- ing in the harbor of Valparaiso. Stephens crew, which at aeowharf den. is his first officer. yacht supposed to be the iineemede and put to sea. Stephens discovers that he has been tricked into an act of piracy, that Lord Darlington’s yacht, the Sea Queen, has been stolen and Lady Darlington (Doris) and her maid are on board. He also finds he is only nominally the captain, as Capt. Eli Tuttle is ignorant of steam navigation and-~ that their rt is long. 110 degrees 30 minutes west, lat. 66 degrees 17 minutes south. They are going in search of a treasure ship, the Donna Isabel, frozen in the Antarctic ice in 1753. De Nova, the second officer. tells Ste- phens Tuttle is insane. Tuttle sees a ghost in the cabin and is made ill by the shock. Stephens assumes command. (Copyright, 1908, by A. C. McClurg & Co.) CHAPTER XIX In Which We Bury Our Dead. OW, rapidly moving clouds, rising from the westward, brought with them a flurry of snow, the sting- ing particles blown almost horizon- tall by the fierce wind, yet within a few moments they powdered the decks and so completely blotted out the sur- rounding sea that we were compelled to strain shaded eyes to. perceive even dimly where the spray. leap- ed high along the edge of the ice- field. Black smoke was already trail- ing from out our funne! in ever in- creasing volume, the steadily revolving screw was driving the yacht forward with new power, and the only bit of canvas showing was the close-reefed jib, left as an aid to the wheelsmen. While 1 could remain in charge on the bridge I drove the Sea Queen to the full ca- pacity of her engines, my glasses dili- eentiy searching for safe passageways down the narrowing lane of green water yet open before us. But as the ime approachéd for.our burial service, and De Nova came forward to relieve me, it was thought best to shut down to a Mere steerage-way, so that all the crew might gather amidships in mem- ory of their departed comrades. I searched the after-cabins thorough- ly for a copy of the Scripture, or any book containing the burial service One might possibly have been jgiscovered hidden away in the locked chests, but I did not feel authorized to break these open on such quest, and so returned to the deck with nothing to guide me in the services to be conducted. The boatswain, assisted by two seamen, had prepared the bodies for their last long rane and while the crew gathered inja body on the snow-covered deck, the dead, shrouded. beneath white sheets, were silently borne forth from cabin and forecastle, and placed rever- ently on planks balanced across the rail. Wei ights were attached to the feet of each, while two satlors were stationed ready to tilt the planks, when the signal should be given to consign the bodies to the com. Their uneasy, shuffling feet, and the impatience depicted on their faces, aroused me to the requirements of the moment. I advanced to the rail, stand- ing beside the corpse of the mate. ‘‘Lads I .said soberly, “‘when we bury shipmat¥s at sea there !s a so’ emnity about the simple ceremony Un- known to the land. Far away from friends and home we give the body up to the great ocean to keep for eternity. Even more solemn and impressive than

Yet we are sailors, long ac- customed to the vicissitudes and perils of the deep; we have parted with ship- mates before in many seas, and not a few among you look forward to the time when comrades will be called upon to perform a similar service of respect over your bodies. Even now we sail forward into great danger, and none among us can prophesy what the mor- row may bring of either life or death. Yet the sea is the sailor’s sepulchre, the roar of the great waves his requiem. I am no sea preacher, able to address you upon the hereafter, or fitted to eulogize the spirits of those _ whose bodies we are about to bury. You de- sire nothing of the kind. Neither can I read over these forms the usual burial service, for I can find no book containing it on board. Is there any one among you, mates, who will voice a prayer before we drop these bodies overboard?” I looked along the semicircle of faces, expecting nothing from the members of the crew, yet faintly hopeful that some one or two might be led to respond. INO one stirred, however, the only sound on board the wind whistling through the rigging and, the heavy breathing of the men. “Well, then.” I added regretfully, ‘nothing remains but to commit thelr bodies to the deep, and may God have merey on their souls!”’ INlifted my hand in signal, but even as did so Lady Darlington spoke, the men who were about to tilt the planks pausing in wonder. ‘Wait, - PAS. on this green earth a pound or #0 haoceia eae your trying this safe and well py —~. if you do not care to exercise ie e Marmola Company of Detroit, a or any Cruggist will give you, for as e as 76 cents, one large case, so well —s that just that one case will show you the problem of reducing safely and quickly on three solved.--ADY., full meals a day bas been A Skin of Beauty is a Joy Forever n. 7 res.

The Democratic members of the House of Delegates seeking renomination will be invited to meet Chairman Ward of the Democratic City Committee, prob- ably Thursday, fo discuss a plan for their voluntary retirement. Delegates Connell of the Twenty-fifth Ward and Wiedmer of the Thirteenth have agreed to withdraw if the other menibers will. The Democratic City Ce™mittee is re- luctant to accept the present situation as final, realizing that the party’s suc- cess will be imperiled in the April elec- tion by an undesirable House of Dele- gates ticket. The delegates out for renomination and re-election are ‘‘Jiggers’’ Gallagher of the Third Ward, John Golden of the Fourth, Isaac Conran of the Fifth, Fred Wiedmer of the Thirteenth, M. J. To- bin of the Fourteenth, W. J. Brennan of the Sixteenth, John J. O’Brien of the Twentieth, Frank Hussey of the Twenty-second, J. F. Connell of the Twenty-fifth and James T. Brennan of the Twenty-sixth. Delegates Langsdale of the Twentieth, Wollett: of the Twenty-third and Mc- Shane of the Twenty-seventh are not candidates for re-election. It was the original plan of the Dem- ocratic City Committee to retire all the Democratic members of the House, but the committeemen found that they could not control the situation. Some of them did not try. Chairman Ward is trying to work out the plan of the committee, and will accomplish it if he can get the, candi- renomination to step aside. While the prospects of success are not flattering, Mr. Ward and his associates ,n the committee think the effort well worth making. REAL ESTATE AGENTS’ REPORT OF THEIR SALES Buys on Crescent Avenue.

$100 OF $225,000 ESTATE GOES TO ST. LOUIS BROTHER Charity and Negro Servants Given Practically All of Kansas City Man’s Wealth. Frederic Schattner, a poftrait paint- er, of 440 Nebraska avenue, will re- ceive only $100 from the $225,000 estate of his brother, Charles Schattner, sa- oon keeper and Republican politician of Kansas City. Charitable organiza- tions and negro servants get — ly all the estate. Schattner, the artist, said Tuesday that he was surprised he was even men- tioned in the will. According to dispatches, $37,000 of the estate was left to the George H. Nettle- ton Home in Kansas City, and $87,000

was left in individual bequests to friends and relatives. A negro porter and negro housekeeper each received $10,000. ‘“‘My brother Charley and I have had nothing to do with each other for sev- eral years,” sald Frederic Schattner Tuesday. ‘‘He was executor without bond of my father's estate, which “vas valued at about $500,000. I was not sat- isfied with the way he handled the es- tate and, although I settled with him, we have not had anything to do with each other since that time. “IT don’t know whether I shall bring suit to break his will. I shall wait un- til I hear from my brother Eugene, who was a partner of Charley.’’

STREET COMMISSIONER GIVES JOBLESS WORK MOVING SNOW Travilla Says Business District Will Be Entirely Clear by Night. Street Commissioner Travilla started a force of 700 men and 150 teams to work clearing snow from the downtown streets early Tuesday. He announced the district bounded by Third street, Twelfth street, Washington avenue and Market street would be entirely cleared by night. Commissioner Travilla said the pres- ent snow was not giving his department much trouble, as it was not deep, and the men were getting it out of the way in a hurry. Many of the men at work are regu- larly employed by the Street Depart- ment, but about 150 were men out of work who applied at the City Hall Tues- day in anticipation of the need of men to remove the snow. The United Railways had snow plows at work during the night, and the tracks in nearly every part of the city were cleared early Tuesday.

quiet, wnchaneed, A 3 WHEAT VERY DULL AT MODERATE GAlh Trading Light and Session Gener- ally Uninteresting, but Firm Levels Are Maintained.

5 Despite the extreme dullness°and the slow, uninteresting*movement of prices in the local wheat market Tuesday, the scarcity of offer- ings and a scattered demand “from profes- sionals tended to maintain firm levels. Trad- ing was light, but prices throughout most of the session showed moderate gains. The close was %c to %c higher for the day. There was slight easiness at the opening, traders being rather wary of buying in the face of the heavy and general fall of snow throughout the winter wheat belt. The crop ig again amply protected and the general tone of reports from the growing wheat re- ions is bearish. There seems to be very ittie wheat for sale, however, the long liquidation during the previous day’s session aving about cleaned up practica by all the available offerings. This lack of tended mak

Country offerings were small and the scarcity of cash wheat, wae resulted in a continued strong nyt ~ at sample market, was one of the nee supporting factors. The domestic’ ial le oer, 4 of wheat suffered a further decrease, t e European visible and the available supply of the world—the latter as reported by Bradstreet—showed large increases.

Nothing indicates more impressively the entire artificial character of the copper stock market than the ruling privte of Amalga- mated Copper. The price of 77 for a stock that pays only 2 per cent is a ridiculous one. There is no other stock among the dividend payers that sells so high, con- sidering the return it brings. If Amalgamat- ed is worth 78, then U, Steel common is worth 8 least as much. If a railroad stock like Atchison, paying 5 per cent, sells around par, where is there reason for a price of 78 for Amalgamated ? Copper stocks ought to sell at a price to bring better returns than can be obtained from industrial or t tation companies, for a mining prope matter what it earns, is actually dition of constant liquidation, every year’s production reduces the value of its assets. It, cannot be said that at present rices Amal amated -discounts the future, or judgin y the present outlook there is no god. re reason to expect a dividend in- crease this year. It is doubtful whether the copper metal will see a price of over 15 cents in the next two years. Leaving the present accumulation out of the con- sideration, too many new copper mines in the last few years, most of which are already on a shipping -basis, have been opened, to make the outlook for owners of copper stocks a rosy one. TILLMAN PROBING RECORDS OF NAVY FAVORITES OF PRESIDENT South Carglinian Is Expected to Attack Rule Favoring Executive’s Aide. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Senator Till- man has written to the, Navy Depart- ment asking for the efficiency records of Commander Sims, the President’s naval aide, and Commander Marsh, son- in-law of Rear Admiral Evans, retired, who a few months ago piled his ship, the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, on the rocks of the New England coast. This request is interpreted at the Navy Department as meaning that the South Carolina Senator intends making a few remarks about the recent change in navy regulations made by President Roosevelt so as to permit commanders to have charge of battleships. Among naval officers the understand- ing is that Sims ‘Is to be assigned to the Michigan as soon 4s she is com- missioned and that the President is thinking of giving Marsh an equally good command. The idea among Sen- ators is that Sims is merely a favorite of President Roosevelt and that Marsh should consider himself lucky to be per- mitted to remain on the active list after sending the Yankee to the rock pile. “| SUNLIGHT COMPANY MUST MAKE TEST OR LOSE THE CONTRACT City Supervisor Doubts Concern’s Ability to Carry Out Deal.

GROCERS _ j tively, WHOLESALE MEN EXPECT RECORD BUSINESS YEAR} a Washington Avenue District Is Livelier Than It Has Ever Been Before. \ CITY FULL OF BUYERS They Are Purchasing Liberally —Farmers in the West Prosperous. Washington avenue wholesale houses are thronged with buyers from the West, Southwest, "South and Southeast. From the way business is opening up the jobbers expect that the year 1909 will equal or surpass that o. 1907 in the volume of trade. ; It is estimated that on account of the depression the Washington avenue business houses Sold $20,000,000 less goods in 1908 than in 1907. ost ot the merchants will be well pleased if this loss is recovered this year, but many of them believe that it will ex- ceed the banner year of the wholesale business of the city. The merchants who are coming here by the thousands are buying conserva- but many of them are sending in supplemental orders as sogn as they re- turn home. There was not much con- servatism in 1907 when the merchants bought almost everything in sight, but the financial depression caused them to exercise more care in laying in their stocks of goods in 1908. The territory from which 8t. drawing its trade has materially ex- panded within the last few years, and now it is no uncommon thing for car- load shipments of St. Louis goods to be financial Louis is ‘sent to the Pacific Coast and even into Columbia. ; Expect to Break Records. Owing to the radical changes in styles last year the wholesale millinery trade was better than -ever before in 8t. Louis. The Washington avenue job- bers say that 1909 will be the greatest year in history for them. The shoe business showed comparatively little de- cline last year, and all the Washing- ton avenue houses have set their sales marks for 1908 at a million or two dol- lars above the high-water sales of 1907. It is estinvated that fully 600 visiting merchants a day arrive in St. Louis. All the big wholesale houses are thronged to the roof with buyers. The hotels are crowded but are taking good care of the visitors. An official of the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Co. said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “We are having a big house trade. Merchants began to arrive early in Jan- uary and promise to continue to come well into March. Those in the city at present are principally from Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Kansas. Buy- ers this year will come to St. Louis from more states and in greater num- bers than neretofore. British Territory Not Limited. “The St. Louis trade territory is no longer limited to any section. We have big buyers. here from the far North- west, and only this week we had a mer- chant from British Columbia looking over the dry goods lines. He was 50 well pleased that he bought In several departments, including a large line of hosiery and similar goods. “Our increased hotel service is taking g00d care of these merchant visitors Before the season is’ over, probably i0,000 merchants will have been here. “The volume of business just now is taxing us to our capacity. We believe the jobbers are handling 15 per cent more in yards and dozens than ever be- fore, not excepting the year 197. Fully 2 to 30 per cent more business is being done by the St. Louis dry goods houses than was done last year. There is no speculation in merchandise going on. “Buyers are conservative, but their purchases reflect the strong. healthy demand of the consumer and show a sure return of normal business condl- tions throGdghout the country.” Merchants Coming Every Day. Max Stern, secretary of the Rothschild Bros. Hat Co., said: ‘“‘The hat busi- ness is excellent. Buyers are coming in from all parts of the country and are placing good orders. Conditions indicate as good or better trade than in 1907, which was the banner year on the ave- nue. Merchants -are coming into the store in great numbers every day and the outlook is exceedingly encouraging. The substantial results in the way of orders presages a splendid year for the wholesale hat business.”’ W. H. Sloan. director of the Hamil- ton-Brown Shoe Co., said: “The shoe business is better. than ever. Our saies for 1907 were $12,027.311.67 and for 1908 they were $11.585,163.52. Our loss was less than half a ,million dollars last vear, and this year we confidently ex- pect it to exceed by at least $1,300,000 the business of 1907. “The farmers everywhere are pros- perous. They are getting their own prices for their products. The statis- ties of the Department of Agriculture show that the agricultural products of the country were valued at $7,778;000,000 last yeer. This certainly indicates that the farmers are prosperous. Missour! alone produced $45,000,000 worth of eggs and poultry last year. With all this money in circulation business is bound to recover. “Visiting merchants are buying shoes freely, and most of them are sending in orders by mail soon after they return home. The prospects could not be more cou ae grea vice-president of the Ro- senthal-Sloan Millinery Co., said: “The financial depression never touched, the millinery business. We had @ much larger business in 1908 than in 1907, and this year will be the biggest In our his- My i me aoe LADIES IO ween financial trouble So far. as our own business was c@mcerned.
