“Hagerman Never Violated Promises,’ Oil Trust Foe’s Answer to Criticism.

CITY. Feb. 20.—Gov. public the following answer to the re- give the JEFFERSON Hadley. made statement today, in quest of Judge Priest that he source of his tnformation that the Pierce interests in the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. had proposed to conceal the Standard OU ownership of the majority of its stock in order to enable that companys to comply with the judgment of the Court and continue in business in this State: ‘Judge give the am entirely that I should gource of my information. I! willing to do so. I1 was given this information by Mr. Frank Hagerman of Kansas City, the attorney of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, and of the Republic Oil Co. “Judge Priest says that neither he nor John D. Johnsen, nor H. Ciay Pierce nor any other officer of the Waters- Pierce Oil Co. ever gave me such in- formation and he, therefore, seems to question the accuracy of my statement that I was réliably informed concerning this proposed arrangement. As Mr. Ha-. german is regarded as the leader of the Kaneas City bar. and ag he has never violated any written or oral agreement. for that matter, I considered him a ‘re- liable source’ of information. Governor Detaiis Plan. “The plan proposed by the representa- tives of H. Clay Pierce, according to Mr. Hagerman’s statement to me, was that the Standard Oil stock in the Wa- ters-Pierce Oil Co. should be placed in the hands of some third party and that Pierce should be allowed the right to manage the affairs of the company. “This was the same ‘conventional ar- rangement’ that was practiced by the connivance of Pierce and the officers of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey upon the State of Texas in 1900. And it was to prevent the disclosure of this ‘conventional arrangement’ that the vig- orous fight in the. Missouri litigation made. “The disclosure of this. deception meant not only the proving of the Mis- sourl case, but it also made necessary the Texas prosecution, and what was of more importance, the personal pre- sumption against H. Clay Pierce for false swearing. I have had no com- munication with Mr. Hagerman, but ! am satisfied that he will testify to the correctness of what I have said.” HAGERMAN ADMITS HE GAVE INFORMATION TO GOVERNOR Frank: Hagerman, one of the attor- in an in- terview given out in Kansas City Sat- urday, repHed to the assertion made by Judge H. 8S. Priest, attorney for the Waters-Pierce Oj] Co., denying that Gov. Hadley had received “‘réliable in- formation’’ that the Waters-Pierce in- terests had endeavored to have the Standard conceal its ownership of Wa- ters-Pierce stock. Mr. Hagerman declares in his inter- view that he made a frank statement to Gov. Hadley of the position of the two companies as he understood it. Mr. Hagerman said: “Of course Judge refers to me. hie should have any guessing as toWhat. only suggestion made’ to me, by 1 as to complying with the require- ment of the Supreme Court of relations with the Standard Oj] was that the lat- ter should place its stock interest in the hands of others to be held for it, but vesting the sole right of voting in Pierce, the idea being that this would eo Bever the relations of the companies to show Pierce had exclusive control. “The main defense of the Waters- Pierce Company had been that as the former reorganization to avoid the ‘Texas exclusion decision was made by Pierce, Who subscribed for all the stock Priest insisis Priest's. interview tm fils own name, as if it were his in- dividually, and «who .was thereafter manage and as if he abso- court bere and in Texas heid There is no reason why* WEATHER WILL BE BOD FOR TAKING HORSEBACK RIDES ON FOOT IN ST.

Richard Kirchouse, the draftsman who has confessed to the police he stole draughtsman's instruments val- ued at $700 from the Keuffel-Eser Co., 613 Locust street, says he stole that he might send money to his sister-in- law in Germany to keep her from Starving.

‘ William Eickelmann, after remaining in hiding, a voluntary prisoner, for ‘SL ‘days, was arrested Saturday for the shooting of Sweyvemen New Year's day. Throughout this solitary he remained fin a little room at 1439 North Thirteenth street, and his food was taken to him by friends. Pdlice of the North Market Street Station were intormed that meals were being carried into the Thirteenth street house. As the shooting of Mrs. ers and Mrs. Daisy Deibel, ter, had occurred in that astrict, Capt. Pickel sent Lien out on a still hunt for Kickelmann. When they could not find him at s home, 3233 North Broadway, they concluded that he might be the mysterious man in hiding, about whom strange stories were being tol” in the neighborhood of the Tnhir- teenth street residence.

Connor and his bride two weeks after their e!uopement. Connor, last October a bridegroom, is now under bond to answer the charge of wife abandonment. Charles Barker of 3142 Locust street, Mrs. Connor’s father, said Saturday that so far as he knew, the first es- trangement between the young couple followed the husband's demand that the bride unite with his church, the Ro- man Catholic. ‘My daughter had been attending the Methodist Church, though not a mem- ber,”’ said Barker, ‘‘and she told him she did not wish to change. Soon afi- er, he left our house, taking all his things. ‘‘My daughter is living at my house, but she is not in just now. She can have a home here as long as she de- sires.’’ Connor was taken to the Manchester Avenue Station after his arrest, and his bond was later furnished by M. J. Mulvihill.

Kight Democratic members of the House of Delegates who are going to seek renomination met Chairman Thomas J. Ward of the Democratic City Gol- tra, who represented the business inter- ests of St. Louis, at Democratic head- quarters Saturday noon to confer as to the possibility of their withdrawing in favor of better men who might be able fo Carry the ticket to victory at the coming city election. They were given to. a ticket already handicapped could not carry any more weight, and that if they would become patriots and efface them- selves men might be nominated in their respective wards who would win and keep the House from being hopelessly Republican. The members thus importuned were Conran, Connell, O'Brien, John T. Brennan, W. J. Brennan, Tobin. Wied- mer and Hussey. Gallagher and Gold- cn were missing. Refuse to Withdraw. , After they had heard the request io decapitate themselves the men who desire to retain their seats held a con- ference, and reported to Messrs. Ward and Goltra that they would not retire from the race at present. They had décided. they said. to make the fight in the wards. but promised that the day following the primary they would hold a meeting and decide whether or not they would withdraw. »They explained that .they did not desire to stand in the attitude of “quitters” now in the eyes of their constituents, As Frank Hussey er the primary and their renomina- Lion tiiere would be an “adipose op- portunity” for getting them to with- draw from anything. Their reply was considered tantamount to a réfusal. CHIGAGO GIRL IN BATHTUB MYSTERY WAS SHOPLIFTER Police Say Dressed as Man Was Her Accomplice.

DYNAMITE USED IN SEARCH FUR BAGGOT S BODY a ?>— — Explosive Discharged in Water of River Near Where Hat Was Found. Dynamiting the river near the foot of Washington avenue was begun Saturday shortly befofe noon in an effort to find the body of William Baggot. real estate dealer, who has been missing from his home since Saturday. His relatives fear he has been foully dealt with and his body thrown into the river. The vicinity of the wharfboat at the foot of Washington avenue was selected as the place to dy- namite by King Baggot, son of the missing rnan, and the police, because of the fact that his hat was found on that wharfboat Tuesday. The work of the dynamiters will cov- en a space in the river of about one hundred square yards. It is the theory of rivermen that if the body is in the river the present coldness of the stream would hold the body upder water long- er than usial. ; The Posi-Vispatch Saturday received the following. mysterious note, signed “Robert,’’ purporting to give a clew to his whereabouts. The note reads: “Baggot is in a house toward the river, not far south of the bridge. Mind wrong. Has something like a shawl or cape over his shoulders. look for a Dago.

Before Robin Cooper took the stand there was an hour's delay during which he went to a physician's office and an X-ray photograph was made to show the bullet which, Cooper says, Senator Carmack fired at him during the en- counter in which Carmack was killed by Robin Cooper whose plea is that he shot jn defense of his father. Robin Cooper took the stand at il o'clock after an hour's delay in opening court. At!1l o'clock the defendants’ at- torneys filed in. There was a hush and then Judge Anderson said: “Robin Cooper take the stand.” Wemen Told to Remove Hata. A murmur of surprise and expectancy swept over the room. The Court rapped for order sternly. Some women arose to better see and then deputies ordered the women to remove their hats. Robin Cooper is a slender, boyish, clear-cut looking youth. He gave ‘bis name, his age as 27, his profession as a lawyer. He said he was a son of D. B. Cooper, and knew John Sharp, the other defendant, very well. In a clear voice and with the refined accent of the educated Southern man, Cooper gave a brief sketch of his life. We said he lived with his uficle, James Bradford, of counsel for the defense, and practiced law in the latter's office. He said he came to town on Monday, Noy. 9, with his uncle, Mr. Bradford, arriving at 9 a. mM.

He came into Mr. Bradford's private office, where I was in conference with Mr. Davis.” Here the defendant described the lo- cation and plan of the law offices. From the moment her favorite brother began Mrs. Bureh leaned forward in her chair, looking eagerly into his eyes and seeming scarcely to breathe as he talked. Col. Cooper, seated next to his young- est daughter. Mrs. Wilson, sat coim- fortably back In his chair and appar- ently took little interest In the prelim- inary questions.

Clay Pierce, according to Mr. Hagerman’s statement to me, was that the Standard Oil stock in the Wa- ters-Pierce Oil Co. should be placed in the hands of some third party and that Pierce should be allowed the right to manage the affairs of the company. ‘This was the same ‘conventional ar- rangement’ that was practiced by the connivance of Pierce and the officers of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey upon the State of Texas in 1900. And it was to prevent the disclosure of this ‘conventional arrangement’ that the vig- orous fight in the Missouri litigation was made. “The disclosure of this. deception meant not only the proving of the Mis- sour! case, but it also made necessary the Texas prosecution, and what was of more importance, the personal pre- sumption against H.

Dynamiting the river near the foot of Washingion avenue was begun Saturday shortly befofe noon in an effort to fina the body of Ww illiiam Baggot. real estate dealer, wno has been missing from his home since Saturday. His relatives fear he has been foully dealt with and his body thrown into the river. The vicinity of the Diamond Jo wWharfboat at the foot of Washington avenue was selected as the place to dy- namite by King Baggot, son of the missing man, and the police, because of the fact that his hat was found on that wharfboat Tuesday. The work of the dynamiters will covy- en a space in the river of about one hundred square yards. It is the theory of rivermen that if the body is in the river the present coldness of the stream would hold the body upder water long- er than usual. . Tne Post-Dispatch Saturday received the following mysterious note, signed ‘“‘Robert,’’ purporting to give a clew to his whereabouts. The note reads: “Baggot is in a house toward the¢ river, not far south of the bridge. Mind wrong. Has something like a shawl or cape over his shoulders. Jl.ook for a Dago.

AKINS CALLED CARELESS IN REPORT OF MINORITY

Subtreasurer Censured for Failure to Check Up Tellers More Frequently, for Absence From Duty and for Failure to Sue on Indemnity Bond.

E Chester H. Krum, who was counsel for the defense in the trial of David P. Dyer Jr. on the charge of embezzling $61,500 from the St. Louis Subtreasury, made an emphatic reply Saturday to the majority report of the Committee on Claims of the national House of Represehtatives. The report refers to the Dyer trial, ending in acquittal, as ‘‘a-farce from beginning to end, conducted solely for the purpose of securing the acquittal of the defendant.’’ Judge Krum declared the committee’s report, criticising the presiding judge, John E. Carland of Sioux Falls, S. D., to. be ‘‘ntterly absurd.’’ He also characterized as * ‘an absolute dimen: ity’’ any charge of irregularity or improper influence of any sort in the trial. The committee’s repart was made in connection with a favorable recommen- @ation on the bill appropriating $61,500 te reimburse Subtreasurer Thomas J. Akins for the loss. Dyer was receiving teller in Akins’ office. In its report, the majority of the committee refers to one of the rulings of the presiding judge as an “absurd- ity.” It says that “the Court seemingly determined that no evidence should go to the jury that might in the slightest @egree reflect on the defendant.” The committee also refers, in severe terms, to Marshall Ferguson, paying teller in the Subtreasury at the time y was receiving teller, and Dygr’s ygompanion. The report says, re- ing Ferguson, ‘““The committee can- not avoid the conclusion that hewknew ff the shortage, and that he had been concerned in the benefits of the money derived from the embezzlement of The report also refers to the relation- hip of Dyer to Judge David P: Dyer, who was ‘United States District Attor- ney at the. time of the trial, and to _ ‘Horace L. Dyer, who was his father’s assistant, as a fact by which “this mis- ' carriage of justice may be partly ac- counted for.”’ The report does not mention the fact that David P. and Horace Dyer, at their |

David P. Dyer Jr. is now employed in the office of the auditor of the Wabash Railroad. He said Saturday, when ques- tioned about the committee’s report: “I cannot help what the committee thinks. If people want to believe the committee, they can. I have nothing to say.” “Nothing at all,” was Judge Dyer’s- reply to the question whether he had any comment to make on the com- mittee’s report. A telegram sent by the Post-Dispatch Saturday morning to Judge Carland at Sioux Falls, asking for a statement re- garding the portion of the report relat- ing to him, brought no response. Marshall Ferguson, who quit his posi- tion in the Subtreasury at the time of Dyer’s suspension, is now living in New York City, his friends say. His address there was not known tod those who were found Saturday. Ferguson, at the tlme of Dyer’s in- dictment, requested the Post-Dispatch to publish his statement that he was innocent of any wrongdoing in connec- tion with etal shortage. ; Majority Report Excuses Akins, but Says Trial of Dyer Was a Farce WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. _' fhe majority of the Claims Commit- And yet we believe that we would be false to our duty if we did not the attention of the House to impression made upon the com- bE gie : TE : SF less money than Dyer, who seemed to be fond of making lavish expendi-

ture. Certain Evidence Excladed. In connection with this evidence we call attention to the ruling of the Court upon the trial of David P. Dyer Jr. that no evidence of any- thing occurring prior to Aug. - 13, 1906, was admissibie, for the reason that on that day the cashier, John- son, had counted up Mr. Dyer and found his books and cash in balance, and «o marked his books “QO K.” The Court held the count to be con- clusive that there was then no short- age in Dyer’s funds unless the Gov- ernment showed the count to be fraudulent. The absurdity of this ruling under ‘the facts in the case is best shown by the simple statement that on Oct. 5, 1906, Johnson again counted up Dyer and found his books and cash to be in balance, and so marked his books “O K” again.

And probably the same con- dition and the same opportunity for falsification on Aug. 13, 1906. The committee further call atten- tion to the fact that the Court seem- ingly determined that no evidence should go to the jury that might in the slightest degree reflect upon the " defendant when the Government of- fered such evidence as it had mm ref- erence to the habits and conduct of Dyer covering the period after Aug. 13, 1906, this was ruled out on the ground that sexual immorality did, not tend to prove dishonesty. It occurs to the committee that with these rulings of the Court it was no wonder that the special as- sistant to the Attorney-General said in his report to the Department of Justice that he could not help feeling that there had been a miscarriage of justice in this case. The only wonder is that he did not say that the trial was a farce from beginning to end and conducted solely for the purpose of securing the acquittal of the defendant, which he would have been more than justifiable in saying, in view of the facts. Miscarriage of Justice. This miscarriage of justice may be partly accounted for by the fact that the record in this case shows that the defendant was the son of David P. Dyer, United States District At- torney at St. Louis, and a brother of the Assistant United States Dis- trict Attorney at the same place. And, in view of the fact that the paying teller, Ferguson, was assist- ing Dyer in covering up the shortage on Oct. 5, 1906, by passing to him a roll 6f bills already wrapped up and strapped in exact amount to make up the shortage, the committee can- not avoid the conclusion that he knew of the shortage and that he had been, party concerned in the benefits of the money derived from the embezzlement of Dyer, as is shown by the evidence. But the committee are clearly of the opinion that from the beginning to the end of this case, there is no evidence to show that Thomas J. Akins was in the slightest way guilty of any wrongdoing in connection with this shortage or in connection with the management of the Sub- , treasury. \° The statement of F. W. Lehmann, to which the majority of the committee re- fer, is contained in a letter from Mr. Lehmann to Attorney-General Bona- parte. The letter is quoted entire in the committee’s report, but the part re- ferred to is th.s: “I should have been greatly pleased if by the evidence the defendant was shown to be innocent, but as it is I can- not help but feel that there has been a miscarriage of justice.” Lehmann Assails Rulings. Following Dyer’s acquittal, so it de- velops from correspondence published in the majority report, an effort was made to try both Ferguson and Dyer for conspiracy to embezzle. But Mr. Lehmann took the ground that the suc- cessful prosecution of this charge had been barred by the result of the trial of Dyer for embezzlement. In this connec- tion, and as showing the attitude of the Court Mr. Lehmann wrote at length to M. D. Purdy, acting Attorney-General, and that letter is given im full in the majority report. A portion of it follows: “IT had a mass of evidence which I believed to be entirely competent re- lating to the habits of young Dyer and which showed a course of dissi- pation and asseciation with women, extending over a period of years and involving a measure of expenditure far beyond his legitimate resources. I had cab arivers who took him out at night, and the women with whom he associated, and beyond this, there were specific instances which did not depend upon the testimony of the cab drivers or of the women. “As for example, one night about midnight he came to a place of bad repute in company with another man and two women, and while there said Minority Report Declares Akins Was Careless in Not Checking Up Tellers WASHINGTON, Feb. 20” he had been robbed of $186 by either the women or some negroes in the place. He had the police called in and the women,and negroes were searched, but finally concluded not to press the matter and all were re- leased. For this transaction we had the testimony of tne police officers. Witnesses Were Reluctant. “Dyer admitted on cross-examina- tion that on the night of Oct. 4, he drank heavily and visited disorderly houses. These two instances I re- garded as important, because they did not depend upon the testimony of the women, and served strongly to corroborate the other testimony. “Persinally I am _ corivinced that these women told the truth, because they were very reluctant to bear any testimony against him and it was very evident that they mini- mized matters to the utmost. ‘The evidence I had also showed that Ferguson was a frequent asso- ciate of Dyer’s in his dissipation, but he was not always with him, nor was he anything like so lavish as Dyer in the expenditure of money. The testimony of the women was that Dyer was the spender, and Fer- guson was something of a parasite. “As to the materiality of this tes- timony with respect to, Dyer’s hab- its of living, I had aiid have no doubt whatever. I had collected a large number of authorities. holding that evidence of previous pecuniary condition and habits of expenditure of a person charged with embezzle- ment of trust funds is relevant and material, and I cited them to the Court, and no authorities were pro- duced to the contrary. Court Asked Impossibility. “But the Court held that inasmuch as the cashier had counted Dyer on Aug. 13, 1906, and found his books to be correct and had marked them ‘O K,’ that he could not go back of this time, unless this count was specifically shown to be false. This, of course, it was impossible to show. I insisted, but to no purpose, that inasmuch as this count was of the same character as that made on Oct. 5, and that the same facilities then existed for juggling of funds, the count of Aug. 13 was not conclusive. So the Court held me to show that the embezzlement occurred between Aug. 18 and Oct. § but his exclu- sion of testimony as to Dyer’s pre- vious habits, even in this regard, was not proper, because it was com- petent to show previous acts which would tend to show financial em- barrassment.’’ The majority report does not come out very strongly or at length on the question of Akins’ duty to collect the amounts for which Dyer and Ferguson were bonded. It was brought out in one of Mr. Lehmann’s letters that the bonding company was responsible, both for Akins as assistant treasurer and for Dyer and Ferguson as his assist- ants. Liability of Bonding Company. This company was willing, according to the understanding stated by Mr. Leh- mann, to pay the $18,000 liability on the Dyer bond, provided the Government would release the company from lia- bility to pay the entire shortage under Akins’ bond. Not a cent has been col- lected from the bonding company on any bond. One of the questions was whether the actiop against the bonding company on the Dyer and Ferguson bonds should be taken by Akins, or by the Government. The majority commit- tee apparently relieves Akins of any responsibility in this regard. Its statement on this point follows: It is admitted in this case that if the bonding company was liable for ‘committee is

any amount as to either Ferguson or Dyer, it would have been liable for $20,000 as surety for Ferguson and $18,000 as security for Dyer, and the unanimously of the opinion that the bonding company was liable on the fifth of October, 1906, to the Government of the United States on the bond of Ferguson in the sum of $20,000, and Mable at that time as security for Dyer in the sum of ¢.8,000; that is, provided, Fer- guson or Dyer was in any way re sponsible through any fraud or dis- honesty on their part for the loss of said $61,500. charge. He admits that the money is gone and that under the law he is Hable for the loss. He asks the mith hori

a mendation in any case, but especial- ly in this, where the executive of- ficer is the close personal friend of him who seeks the relief. Sentiments of friendship may un- consciously cloud the judgment of the best and purest of men. The dangers of blindly legislating at de- partmental solicitation: were never better-exemplified than in this case. Not one of the communications be- fore this committee from any of the departments recommending the pas- sage of this bill correctly states the facts. For illustration, Secretary Shaw, in one of his letters, says: “It is due to the Assistant Treas- urer (Mr. Akins) to say that he had caused the cash of several tellers in the Subtreasury to be checked up and verified five times, I believe, within sixty days prior to the short- age. This, I think, clearly estab- lishes diligence on his part.” Inaccurate Statement Made, This statement is strikingly inac- curate. Instead of the several tell- ers, oniy one of them was checked up within 60 days of the shortage and he not five times as stated, but only once. This one checking up of that particular teller, it appears, was due to the accidental circumstance that he had been away on a vacation and his cage was counted up when he went back to work. How did Secretary Shaw happen to make such Did he be guilty/ of willful per- version? Such a thing is not be- lievable. He had simply been mis- led by his friend. Mr. Akins admits his lability and asks to be relieved. The burden is upon him. to make out his case by positive and convincing proof. He should have placed before the com- mittee and the House all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the shortage and his management of the Subtreasury. This he has not done. A bill was introduced for his relief in December, 1906, yet he did not ap- pear before this committee until Jan- uary, 1909. He did not come then un- til requested to do so by the chair- man. He offered no evidence except his unsworn statements. Hard to Get Information, The departments have been equal- ly reserved about furnishing the committee with the facts. The chair- man of this committee has been per- sistent in asking the departments to submit the evidence in their pogéses- sion. It has never been fully done. Although Mr. Akins’ bill was intro- duced in 1996, yet it was not until January, 1909, that the evidence upon which the Government went before the grand jury was submitted to this committee,-and then it came accom- panied with the letter from the At- torney-General, stating: ‘“‘These minutes are sent you confi- dentially for the information of the committee and not for publication.”’ «Minutes Dispute Akins. intend to I.very member of the House is en- titled to read these rminutes before he is called upon to vote upon this bill. If this evidence were placed before the House it would shed much light upon the unhappy event which led to the loss of so large a sum of the people’s money. There is no pretense that any further. prosecu- tlons are to be undertaken by ‘he Government. The publication of the testimony- could not in any way pre- judice the Government. It would, however, contradict statements made by Mr. Akin to the department and to this committee. Inexcusable carelessness, both by the Treasury Department at Wash- ington and by Mr. Akins has at- tended the management of the St. Louis subtreasury. 3 At the time this shortage occurred the Subtreasury had not been checked up by anybody from _ the Treasury Department but once since 1901 and this was when Akins was inducted into office. In reply to a letter from the President as to whether there was “anything wrong with the system’ under which this Subireasury was operated, Secretary Shaw replied: - : “Whether there is anything wrong with the system I cannot say.”’ Tellers Not Checked Up. So not only had the Treasury De- partment let this Subtreasury go un- checked, as above stated, but the Secretary of the Treasury was whol- ly ignorant of the system under which it was operated. A fair consideration of such facts as have come before the committee constrains us to believe that Mr. Akins did not exercise proper care in the management of the Subtreas- ury. Carelessness :s clearly shown in the failure to properly check up the tellers. It appears that the cashier was never checked up until after the shortage. This shortage was found in the cage of one of the tellers on Qct. 5. 1906. This teller had not been checked since Aug. 13. The paying teller and pecetving tellers occupled adjoining cages sup- plied with a revolving basket for passing money from one to the other. With such an arrangement it was easy for these two tellers to enter into a conspiracy to embezzle money and to conceal the shortage By pass- ing money from one to the other. This ought to have been apparent to the most casual observer, yet it is not shown that both of these tellers ever were simultaneously checked up. Had this been done there is every reason for believing that the shortage would have been discov- ered many months sooner and that, too, before it had reached such huge proportions. It has not been shown that the whole Subtreasury was ever simul- taneously checked up during the time Mr. Akins had been in charge of it. It was just as necessary for him to be watchful against loss by collusion among the employes as against the dishonesty of any one of them. There is nothing to show that any employe Was ever checked up by anybody but the casnier, Mr. John- gon. In Sitch a case, i¢ wr. Johnson were either careless, or in collusion, a shortage might have existed for owen without Mr. Aking ever rena oh Zz : | Peart - 2 Ce ig > “ P A Be, ( + a eS 5 Kectes % as ape :

Mr. Akins ought to have to known that it would tempt em- ployes to take out beyond their ability to replace. It is not un- likely that this habit was directly responsible for the shortage in this case. We think Mr: Akins was also careless in being absent from the subtreasury much of the time dur- ing the period preceding the discov- ery of the shortage. Just how much he was absent ‘is not certain. He was asked before the committee if he thought he was absent as much as 50 days during the summer and fall in which the shortage was dis- covered. He replied that he could not say. None of the employes wefe men of his selection. He reposed no spe- cial confidence in them. They were civil service employes. He ought not to have gone away for days at a time and left hundreds of thousands of dollars in their charge. His fre- quent absence would lead them to think they were not closely watched, and embolden the dishonest among them to embezzle the funds. Mr. Akins has, since the short- age occurred, shown such an utter disregard of the interests which had been intrusted to his care as should preclude hing from the relicf which he seeks, The circumstances establish clearly that there was an under- standing between Dyer and Fer- guson—a conspiracy. The _ facts also are that these two men had for three years been engaged jointly in nightly dissipations. Some nights they spent as high as $100 in a single brothel. Neither of thom had any means. Tellers Were Liable, These two tellers, Dyer and Fergu- son, were liable for the loss of the money. Mr. Akins had a bond by a solvent bonding company guarantee- ing him against loss by the miscon- duct of these two men—Dyer to the amount of $18,000 and Ferguson to the amount of $20,000. This was a personal liability to Mr. Akins him- self. The bond provided that suit should be commenced within one year after the discovery of the loss. Mr. Akins admitted that he was liable to the Government for the whole loss. Then, why did not pay over to the Government at least the amount of ‘the bonds, of these two tellers and proceed on the bond for the respective amounts? Had he done this it would have re- duced the loss from $61,500 to $23,500 and he would have been if a much better position to ask reHef. Instead of doing this he has permitted the time within which he may sue to ex- pire, and asks relief for the whole amount. Mr. Akins cannot claim tnat he was not informed of his rights tn the premises. Secretary Shaw placed the matter very clearly before him in a letter. Mr. Lehmann, the special counsel of the Government im“the matter, gave the same advice as Secretary Shaw. Delay ta Bringing Suit. The bonding company never de- nied its liability to Mr. Akins for the $18,000 on account of Dyer, but, on the contrary, admitted it. Then, why did not Mr. Akins un- dertake to collect from the bonding company on account of these two tellers? -He waited until the year in which he could sue had expired, then he presses anew this bill for his relief. Was if his purpose to create a situation that would not only relieve himself, but Dyer and Ferguson and the bonding company as well? In fact, disregaruing the advice and instructions of the Treas- ury Department and the Department of' Justice, he deliberately waited, without a single effort to recover on the bonds, until action against the bonding company was barred and then, as @ ground for his re- lief, he sets up in behalf of the company this bar. In view of these facts, we fee] that Mr. Akins has been guilty of such gross negligence, %oth before and after the shortage, that he ought not to have the relief asked for in this

In commenting on the cost of jingoism, the New York World quotes plain language from Senator Hale. Estimatins the cost of the navy next year at $160,000,000, he says: “This means that it will soon be the unescapable duty of Congress either to borrow money or to increase the taxes.” From a Republican United States Senator, je- precating the record of the jingo spirit in his own party, the language is strong. The record itself, as the Treasury Department is obliged to print it, is stronger still. It shows expense for war and navy of $66,500,000 in 1890, $190,000,000 in 1900 and $293,000,000 in 1908—figures printed in the official “Summary of Commerce and Finance” to show the “Progress of the United States.” In this almost incredible showing of “progress,” the increase due to jingoism in eight years is greatly in excess of the total of 1890, while the total itself last year is over four times that of 1890. The cost is paid from the necessaries of life. With thousands of families studying the problem of “how to live on $5 a week” while the cost of everything needed to support life increases, Sen- ator Hale considers the problem of increasing tue taxes. More jingoism, more taxes; more taxes, higher prices for food and clothing, and then less to eat and wear for an increasing number Sf people who are trying to live on $5 a week. That is the way jingoism works. A Ae, ~~ Ft When the United Railways pays its taxes it will be in better position to gain the good will of the public. = = ~~ - COSTLY LEGISLATIVE VAUDEVILLE. On the same day that a bill, known as an “administration measure’ and providing for a system of taxation to equalize assessments and yield a greater revenue, was introduced in the Missouri Legislature, the House wasted $325 of the people’s money in an intentional burlesque debate on the merits of a second bill providing for the payment of a bounty. on crows. For more than an hour the various speakers played low-comedy roles in this discussion. One for the killing of a white crow. It was the idea of another that this be made applicable to “Jim Crows” as well. A third urged the defining of the “open season” for crow killing, also the pro- hibiting of pot shooting. A fourth recommended the preserving of the slain crows in alcohol. A fifth insisted that the anti-crow bill should not be made applicable to “crow’s feet” in old maids’ faces. The people of the State will not miss the sig- nificance of this spectacle of Missouri legislators wasting the money of taxpayers in cracking jokes about crows at $5 a minute cost, in face of the necessity of legislation to increase the State’s revenue. = = —S oe The electric meters may run slow, as Lighting Supervisor Sanderson affirms, but not slow enough to retard the advance of lighting bills. ill. ill wwe eS THE MINING BUREAU BIEL. In May, 1908, the House of Representatives passed a bill creating a Federal Bureau of Mines for purposes of investigation. It was designed to give the states the benefit of the information collected, but did not propose Federal inspection or in any other way to interfere with state super- vision. This bill is held up in the Senate “for During the past 19 years nearly 30,000 men have lost their lives in mine disasters, besides a much greater number maimed and permanently disa- bled. And the story grows blacker in view of the fact that the death rate has more than doubled since 1896. We are far behind the countries of Europe in prevention work. In 1906 the number of coal miners killed in France was less than .84 per in the United States 8.40 per thousand.’ For the years 1907- 1908 and 1909 the average has been much higher. Such a eontrast does no credit to the spirit of humanity as exhibited in this country, nor to the political sagacity and business sense of the people. Experts agree that our mines are natural- ly the safest in the world. And yet our death rate is from three to five times higher than that of Belgium and France and from two to three times higher than that of benighted Russia. If the Senate omits action on the pending House bill this session it will become dead and the ae assag p Theos Foes mag ; 2 as ee eee ee Dias a S78 be ose EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES. Exonerating United States Subtreasurer Akins from liability or blame for the shortage of $61,- 500 in his office, the majority report of the House Investigating Committee contains extraordinary statements concerning the trial of D. P. Dyer Jr,, who was acquitted on a charge of embezzling the money. The amazing assertion is made that the trial was “evidently conducted for the pur- pose of acquitting Dyer.” Quoting Attorney Leh- man as intimating that there was a miscarriage of justice, the report continues: “The only wonder is that he did not say the trial was a farce from beginning to end, and conducted solely for the purpose of securing the acquittal of the deferidant, which he would have been more than justified in saying, in view of the facts.” The report goes beyond this and mentions as a factor in the mistrial the incumbency of the father and the brother of the defendant in the offices of United States District Attorney and assistant. The report ought not to stop there. Col. D. P. Dyer, who was at the time of the trial United States District Attorney, now on the bench of the United States District Court and his son, his former assistant, withdrew from participation in the prosecution of the case against D. P. Dyer Jr. But such blunt and direct charges of a mis- carriage of justice and of the deliberately im- proper and farcical conduct of a criminal case in a United States court should not stand without specific details. Thé public is entitled to know precisely why justice was blocked in this Fed- eral court and how. If improper influences were brought to bear upon the conduct of the case, who brought them and who yielded to them, and how they operated should be made clear. These sweeping charges of misconduct, supplemented with insinuations and implications tend to bring the court and the whole machinery of justice into contempt and disrepute, The Committee’s strictures on Judge Carland, who tried the case, make it imperative that Con- gress take further action. The trial judge should be vindicated or the judiciary purged of the re- proach of improper trial methods. It takes monopoly lawyers a long time to find out that a vigorous prosecution is not “a mere play to the galleries.” This notion, how- ever, has been exploded by the decision gf the Missouri Supreme Court, and the sooner they accept the accomplished fact the better it will be for them. sill a = = A STRICTLY PARTISAN VIEW. Some Democrats oppose the Municipal Court bill on the ground that St. Louis is a Republican city and that if the judges are elected on a general ticket Republican candidates would have an undue advantage in the contest for all the judgeships. This argument is not on a very high plane, but it is not true that St. Louis is a Republican city. An inspection of the election returns for the past 15 years will convince any inquirer that the Dem- ocrats have lost only where their nominees have been unfit men, or when the ticket has been handicapped with names of men whom the voters are unwilling to trust. No party can command the confidence of a:com- munity which repeatedly and knowingly nominates unfit men. And if the Democratic party wants to strengthen its hold upon the city of St. Louis nothing will so strengthen it as the Municipal Court proposed by this bill. Both parties will find it to their interest to put their best men forward. And with the best men on both tickets the Democrats would certainly not be at a disad- vantage. = = * r-~yrY Optimistic souls will find much encourage- ment in the fact that the Wood River Horse Thief Detective Society of Alton is embarrassed with a surplus in its treasury because there are no longer any horse thieves to detect. The sur- plus in the treasury of the Wood River Horse Thief Detective Society might profitably be em- ployed in finding out if it is the horse’s decline or humanity’s growth that accounts for existing Wood River conditions. a, A 2 i is ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN. The ocean greyhound comes to the fore again as a record breaker. The great turbine steamer Mauretania is the perfected machine which has placed speed achievement in ocean travel a notch higher. For the winter course of 2800 miles from Liverpool to New York the Mauretania reduced her own best record by two hours and twenty- five minutes and lowered the best record by one hour and fifty-six minutes. She also made 671 knots in 24 hours—the best day’s run on record. The time of the trip was four days 17 hours and 56 minutes. Ship builders have demonstrated that improv- ing the speed of ocean steamships is merely a matter of increasing the power and size and strength of the vessel to meet the required condi- tions. How far it is possible to go has not been fully determined. Improved materials, higher power but smaller engines, lighter and better fuel are changing factors which bring greater achievements within reach. To Europe in four days is a near possibility and that makes the long journey a pleasant excursion. Li i i = = The battleship fleet will be in Hampton Roads next Tuesday. Whatever may have been the pur- pose or the policy of the cruise, it has demon- strated American skill and intelligence and ca- pacity for severe discipline.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to answer Italian-American in regard to parochial schools not paying any attention to Lincoln’s and Washington's birthdays. I would not hesitate to say that Italian-American does not know the first thing about parochial schools. Parochial schools pay as much attention to legal holidays and birthdays as any other institution in the United States. The children have entertainments in honor of Lincoln’s and Washington's birthdays, and make as much ado over them as is necessary. ° ONE WHO KNOWS, Uniforms for Stenographers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Won’t you gently but firmly remonstrate with Miss Marguerite Martyn in the matter of the ste- nosraphic “sane and desirable uniform.’’ I admire Miss Martyn and her sketches immensely, but I must say that the “uniform” she suggests is awfully chic and just too cute for anything, and it would certainly be unjust to these poor, heartbroken wives (who have nothifg to do but stay at home and write soul-inspiring letters about the wicked ste- nographers) if all stenographers should wear the dainty little white jersey with the fetching but rakish khaki skirt. You know, Mr. Editor, some of “us"’ are somewhat fair, undeniably fat and nearly 40. Really, it would not be fair for ‘‘us’’ to adopt any uniform whatsoever, because it would make us conspicuous, “uniforms’’ would form a trust, and then where would ‘‘we’’ be. We'd have to demand an increase in salary, the boarding houses would have to fur- nish extra tubs for the laundering of white jerseys —We would all want to look like Jersey Lilies, of course—oh, I could write columns on the terrible consequences of wearing white jerseys. Khaki skirts would revive the Rough Rider hat and with it a de-lighted expression. Just fancy the khaki-skirt- ed, white-jerseyed brigade marching to work in the early morn, then going on a foraging expedition at noon, then at night “hiking’’ boarding houseward. Hep! Hep! Hep? CLEOPATRA K. ‘The Third Prize Letter. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We have read with much interest the love letters published in your paper, but cannot agree with the decision rendered, in awarding prizes. We should certainly have chosen the letter drawing third prize for the first. Cannot you put it up to your read- ers to vote on the question? Why. no words in the English language could be arranged to surpass the beautiful thoughts expressed in the letter draw- ing third prizel AN OLD ARMY VETERAN. Afflicted but Happy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have been reading the letters published from af- flictead persons, and I wish to say tMat I, too, am afflicted with deafness, only partially, though. I, too, am compelled to earn my own living, and it’s true, dear sisters, that we are ofttimes looked upon as a freak or something out of the ordinary because of our misfortune, but I am not so sensitive to my affliction as some are and I bear it as bravely as I can. I am blessed with good eyesight and .have a fair education. I enjoy reading and am a lover of nature and see beauty everywhere. I am neither old nor young; I am a “bachelor girl,”’ yet I am fond of children, and I both love and honor the aged. I try and show’kindness te one and all and am ever ready to lend a helping hand, and I delight in bring- ing sunshine and happiness to those who are more sorely afflicted than I. MAY. A Husband’s Reply. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reply to a woman in sore straits, her’ husband did not give her to another man to take care of and‘ he to have the children. he can love his wife and is willing to do anything in his power and that he can for her. If she knew the position he is in and if she would come to him he could explain the matter to, her without so much gossip; he is not seeking a divorce. KR. G.. AN UNHAPPY HUSBAND. Rights of the Unborn. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Among your letters from the people, Feb. 16, there is ane signed Lulu MacClure Clarke. I desire to thank this unknown friend for her splendid letter and sympathy she feels for us in our suffering, and the loss of our child. I wish to Say that the case is not lost yet, but is now in the Supreme Court, where we expect to prove the legality ef a person, wherever a humé@n heart beats. And, further, for this lady’s benefit, I have discussed this adverse views coincide with hers. I also wish to correct the dates mentioned in the article which brought forth this lady’s reply. The mother was thrown from & car Sept. 22, 197. The child was born Dec. 25, 1907, and died July 5, 1908. CORNELIUS H. BUEL. Crippled Colored Boy’s Plea. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to ask through your paper if there is no room in this world for a colored boy. I am 20 years old and crippled, and I have no home, and been trying to get a job, even if it is $4 a week, but no one wants a cripple they all say. I have done many days without anything to eat, because I have not the courage to beg. Are cripples not needed in this world? } a Parcels Post. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to the editorial in Sunday's Post-Dispatch on “Parcels Post,’’ the growth of the smaller towns is a substantial gain to the country as a whole and anything calculated to promote their prosperity should be encouraged. A parcels post would injure them. The establishment of a parcels post in general and on the rural routes in particular, would be a 8¢- vere biow to the retail merchants generally. The farmer might gain a little for awhile, but would lese in the long run, because his conveniences, his real estate values would be lessened by the diminished and in some cases the ultimate disappearance of all local trade or business. We believe the United @tates Government should confine its policy to use the malls for the transmission of matter that is really mail, and that it should not go into the transportation of mer- chandise. The doing so would create additional ex- pense to the Postoffice Department and would likely be considered unconstitutiona). A. J. UTIGER. Highiand, IL NATURE’S NOBLEMEN. From the Topeka Capital.

In their worthy desire to be sympathetic they are carried away by their zeal, and in addition to wiping away the mourn- er’s tears they wipe up her floors, wipe off the windows and give the house such a general cleaning that it looks as good as new the day of the funeral. For three or four weeks after the funeral they continue to come in with pie and other neighborly kindnesses, and then the widow does something to offend them. Either she continues to mourn and they get tired of the story of sorrow, or she ceases mourning and they are offended at the “lack of feel- ing.’’ This pleasing of the neighbors is always a task, but when one is in mourning it becomes an impossibility. DEDUCE YOUR SUPERSTITION. From the Denver Republican. Down in Oklahoma the clock in the assembly hall stopped at the hour of Lincoln’s birth and some are saying that it was because the Legislature re- fused to recognize the day. Down in Cripp® Creek the miners on the Abe Lincoln kept right on working and made a big find of ore. Seems to be no fixed rule about It. CUT DOWN EXPENSES, From the Omaha Bee. With ordinary economy in the prepara- tion of appropriation bills, the revenues from the usual sources should be ade- quate to all regular and reasonable de- mands. Instead of looking for new ob- jects of taxatidn, Congress might better hoid down expenaitures, just as a busi- ness man or a corporation would do under like conditions. THE YOUNG GOD FANCY.

Yea, hast thou not heard that in order to clean a gun thou must FIRST look down the barrel—and AFT- ERWARD call the doctor? For these are the ways of a man, and he is REASONABLE.

Reviews of New Books Critical Comment on the Latest Pwbiscations Written fer the Post-Dispatch.

shaw’s “Aline of the Grand Woods” as simply and beautifully as he has written that sweet and fine novel of Louisiana, it would not want for read- ers. You would yourself want to ex- perience its quiet charm—to inhale the pure breath of the salt marsh—to hear the music of the Grand Woods, and to know the quaint Cajuns who are proud of their English. The quality of great- ness struggles to assert itself from ‘beginning to end of the book, and when you reluctantly lay it aside in the end you wonder if this is a thin or thick vein and if the man who could write “Aline of the Grand Woods’ is not also to wake and find himself famous when his experience is riper. Leuis- iana is Louisiana. We all know that, but we forget it until we read someone competent to remind us—someone who ‘has breathed dee» of its atmosphere a~* hold its spirit in the hollow of his hand. Mr. Henshaw is a master of gimple @escription. He can paint char- acter with a pass of the brush, and as Bret Harte could drop the hush of the redwoods ‘nte the heart with a line, so the author of “Aline of the Grand Woods’’ can unleash the frag- rance of flowers, make the great live oaks to whisper, revea. the beauties of fields, and sweeten the world with a touch. (Outing.) |" one could tell of Nevil G. Hen- DOD boy stories are rare. In try- ing to make a list one thinks first of “Tom Browne,"’ pauses awhile and then adds “‘Stalky & Co.,” pauses a long while and finds no title to add, until from the table oné picks up “The ternal Boy,”’ by Owen Johnson. Yes, ‘The Bternal Boy” is a good one, a live one, a real one. It is filled with the Prodigious Hickey’s adventures, with Boy as he is seen in a preparatory schod] somewhere in New Jersey, con- . tiguous to Princeton. Boys will like it and appreciate its view point; ex-boys will find in it a thrill of jJuvenescence. (Dodd, Mead & Co.) T is a crying shame that E. Phillips Oppenheim refuses to write less than one novel every six months. If he had held up anyone of 57 varieties of his fiction long enough to review and rewrite the latter half or third he would be occupying a higher place among fic- tionists. He lets go too quickly. ‘The Missioner” is his latest novel and there- fore the latest example to be cited in support of this criticism. An unmar- ried lady of property who has devoted her first youth to social pleasure meets a yeuth fresh from college. He is full of a great crusade for the moral up- lift of England’s rural Population. He visits the town she owns as a missioner (the English equivalent for missionary) and their first scenes are clashes. He loses his ideals through love for her and in reaction goes a rapid pace. The story ends in melodrama and--happi- ness. (Little, Brown & Co.) -INCOLN literature has received a a unique and somewhat noteworthy contribution in the “Lincoln” of Dr. Denton J. Snider. The book is but meagerly historical and biographical, It is like the histories of Carlyle in some respects, a few iso- lated facts and incidents being selected by’ the author as the theme of philo- sophical discussions, which form the real essence of the work. But only in . this superficial aspect is the “Lincoln” like Carlyle’s work, The great English- man wrote with a flery, tmpetuous cyn- iclam. The “Lincoln” is written as though the auther were some sage of | ancient Athens, who had found in his own experience and within his own ken a hero like unto the Homeric heroes. And the reader fs stmck with the underlying truth of the statement made by the author, that Lincoln’s earlier life, up to-the time of his marriage and first race for Congress, did possess a marked similarity to the lives of the champions in the great epies of the world’s young culture. Especially in his boyhood days near Gentryville, Ind., and at New Salem, IIl., is this simili- tude made apparent. It is startling, yet withal most fasci- nating, to find the Mfe of the rugged, homely Lincoln treated as a tale of classic Greece, but, in truth, the book leaves one with a clearer conception of what that life meant than any mere biography could have dene. But the Snider ‘‘Lincoln” is more than a poetic conception. It is brimful of profound philosophy, not the philosophy of the political economist, not even the broader philosophy of the historian who treats a single life as part and par- cel of a people’s development, spiritual] aS well as material. But the broader, deeper philosophy which treats the life under discussion and the people from which it sprung as incidents of beauty and importance in the great onward and upward Sweep—not of the nation not of the civilized world, but untver- Bally, of all mankina slowly working Out its inscrutable destiny. And in this respect, too, the book is striking and unusual and well worth the reading. (Sigma Publishing Co.) familiar with “The , asnionable Adventures of Joshua Craig,’’ by David Graham Phillips, which ran as a serial in the Saturday Evening Pest. Craig is a virile. rude congressman from a Middle North State. In Washington he comes into contact with a woman who has refined ancestry and training. She is as predatory as he, but more gen- tle. The story is their development to- ward the rea] refinement. Mr. Phillips has drawn no Character with finer strokes than those that show us Joshua Craig. The story is fy) of surprises and moves with a splendid vigor. (Apple- ton’s.) A pseudonym of “Parabellum” has written a war story called “Ban- zai." It should delight the jingoists for it shows how the Japanese came pretty near whipping the United States. As soon as the war broke out it was almost over. That is, the !ittle brown men were ready and Uncle Sam wasn't and so the Japs were victorious on the start and were soon in control of the Pa- cific Coast. They might have controlled the rest of the country, too, if the Eng- lish colonies, angered at the attitude of the mother country, had net rebelled and aided the United States in squelching the invaders. According to “Parabellum,” every Jap is a spy. Whether he ts a college stu- dent, a tourist, a waiter or a farm la- borer, he is really watching out for the interest of the Mikado and ts keeping his ruler posted about what the Yankees are doing. The scene opens in Manila, which was cut off from communication with the world for several days. The army and navy officers there later learn that the war is on and that is the reason the cables have been cut. A navy Lieuten- ant goes out with four little gunboats and encounters a Jap warship which gives chase. Instead of sé¢attering, a trick known to schoolboys, pickpockets and other less warlike individuals,- the four little gunboats stay in a bunch, are overtaken and all but one destroyed, that one escaping in the darkness. We hate to think that anyone has such a poor opinion of the good sense of Ameri- ean navy officers. “Banzai” is said to have attracted much attention in Germany.

Speak up, men!”’ “Johnson.’’ *“‘Kelly.”’ “McKnight.” **Dade.’’ *‘Sanchez.”’ There was a pause, the last voice sounding just abaft the mast-butt. “Is that all?’’ “That’s all ,sir.’’ “With De Nova, myself and the two women it makes the count ten. Well, we shan’t be crowded for room. This is going to be a hard cruise, lads, but we'll make a stiff fight for it. We're sail- ors, With a stanch boat under us, and a chance to win out.’’ There was a faint cheer, rumbling, as if it had caught in their threats, and the negro asked: ‘‘Hew much of a run is it, boss?’’ “T am unable to tell you Cole,”’ I an- swered, endeavoring te make my voice sound hopeful, ‘because I haven’t had any ebservation for three days. There is ne use lying te you fellows. There is a mighty long stretch between us and any laud worth trying after. We are @ut of the track of ships, and eur on'y hope is te keep the leng boat right side up, and get eut of her all the speed possible.

Turn in with them, De Nova; you will have to relieve me at the tiller later.” The fog seemed to be thinning some- what, and I could perceive De Nova lying back, with his head pillowed against the mast. Celeste had flung a blanket about his sheulders, and still held it in place, although her ewn head was beginning to nod sleepily. Beyond question beth women had been kept awake much of the night previous, and the gentile swing of the long boat had a tendency to lull us all te sleep. Yet her ladyship sat upright, her sheulder teuching my knee, her eyes on the sul- len strip of water gliding away inte the fog. I gpeke to her, and we conversed softly for a .while upon the stirring events of the past few days and upon our chances of final rescue. But she seemed heavy hearted, and we soen re- lapsed into silence. At 6 o’clock we took careful stock of our une of previsions and served out @ small ration all areund, afterward ar- ranging the several watches for -the night and distributing as equally as pos- sible, the blankets and extra clothing.

ie Last Voyage # the Donna Isabel BY RANDALL PARRISH protect the steersman from the dash of blanket at my feet stirred, and Lady Darlington sat up, her o& icy spray. Suddenly the back against the gunwale and face up- turned to mine. -The cold gleam of the moon revealed her features, clear-cut as a cameo, framed by the darkness of her hood. I could distinguish the dell- cate tracery of her lashes, and, beneath that l’ght, the gray of her eyes ap- peared black. “IT have been studying your face, Mr. Stephens,’’ she said, quietly, “and have

read there the helplessness of our sit- uation.”’ I rallied instantly, endeavoring to speak lightly. “Yoy translate wrongly. That was only the depression of the scene yonder; the awful loneliness of sea and sky af- fected my spirits. You should not draw hasty conclusions.”’ ‘Nor have I. Even such a sea and sky never gave you that look of de- spair. I know you too well to believe that. You consider our situation des- perate.”’ I looked at her closely, but it was not fear I saw in the upWfted face. “Tt is certainly serious enough,” I @d- mitted, believing it uselegs to attempt any deceit, “but not hopeléss. We have a stanch beat under us, sufficient food for all our probable needs, and a fa- vorable wind. While there is lffe there is hope.’’ She made a little eloquent gesture ef the hands. ‘ ‘Please do not say that. Those words are always the last effort to bolster up courage. Keep them for the men, but trust me with the exact truth.” “Ask, and I wil) answer.”’ ‘What chance have We of rescue?”’ I turned my eyes away befere ventur- ing to reply, yet I dared not utter an untruth. “Two: the chance of being picked up by some passing vessel or the attaining of inhabitable land.” “Are there any vessels in .this sea at this season?’’ ‘It is hardly probable there are, un- less it should be some whaler blewn from her course around the Horn.’’ ‘Then our only practical hope lies in reaching land by our own efforts?’’ She leaned forward, her hand touching mine as it grasped the tiller, her earnest eyes compelling me to look at her. “*VYes.’”’ ‘‘How—how far away is this land?” I hesitated, actually afraid myself to speak the answer, but her handclasp merely tightened. “Please tell me. I—I wish to know the very worst. Such knowledge will be easier to bear than this awful doubt.”’ “But I hardly know myself,’’ I con- fessed desperately. ‘I have d no ob- servation for several days, and gan enly guess the rate of progress ef the Sea Queen, or our drift during the storm, I will be perfectly honest with you, though, and give you my best judg- ment. I believe we must be between four and five humdred miles to the east and north of Dougherty Island, and not yet beyond the Mmit of drift ice. There would be no use in our @#tempti to turn back for that point of land, , 3 it is nothing but a rock, and we could never find it by the mere guidance of a compass. Our only chance ig to bear away to the nertheast toward land and the track of ships.’”’ “How far? Wh land ?’’ “The western cogst of South America; at least fifteen hundred miles.” I felt her shudder, and scarcely re- alizing that I did so, or the significance ef the action, impelled by an impulse beyond all control, I drew her hand within both my own as though in pledge of protection. “Tt can be done,” I insisted. ‘Such beat voyages have been accomplished.” She made no effort to draw away, her eyes still upon mine. “Not through such a sea as this: not at this season of the year.’’ I could not answer, my lips dry, my throat parched. “You know the utter hopelessness of it,’ she went on, stimulated by my si- lence. ‘“‘You know we can never survive the cold, the closing in of the ice, the certainty of storm. You are a saibr, and a brave man—trust me with the whole truth.”’ “It would be almost a miracle,” I fal- tered, the words fairly forced from my lips by her insistence. ‘‘This is the be- ginning of winter in the storm¥fest ocean on the globe. God ceuld do it, but net man.”’ Her head sank, the white cheek touch- ing my sleeve, but the fearless gray arse were still open, gazing straight into mine. “Then it is the certainty of death,” she said soberly. ‘‘Death together.” My heart leaped as though it had re- ceived an electric shock. ‘Together! you mean’’—— “That I should rather be here, facing death with you, than anywhere else

y= “=”, Manager of St. Louis Club Not Disap- pointed Over Failure, to Sign Other Stars Than Criger.

4 BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. F Manager James McAleer is satisfied with his team for the coming base- ball season, it seems the fans should be delighted. There was a genera! impression among the lovers of the game here in St. Louis that Manager James would feel discontented unless he landed another, big pitcher and a new ue outfielder before the next race for the championship began. 4 _ assured us that such is not the case and that when he acquired Lou Criger % to catch for the Browns he got the one man he for the coming struggle. | Of course he would be glad to have - - Pitcher Frank Smith and Firse Base- nao Donohue and Outfielder McIntyre, A _but he never really expected to get hem. He realized thoroughly last sea- however, that he needed a catcher high class. He felt that without one the chances for the Browns in 1909 would “be slim and he directed all his per- F SE cepatve powers to getting Lou Criger. @e As soon as he landed Criger le was sat- 1 “tsfied with the team, though he did at- tempt to get one or two other stars at pee meeting just closed in Chicago.

If he succeeds in putting through ene more deal he has in mind he will have a pennant team sure, regardiess of all the added strength to the New York Giants. Chance wants to get Pitcher McIntyre of the Brooklyn club and has offered Zimmerman and either Coakley for him. Zimmerman is a great slugging infielder that would be of more service to Brooklyn than _ to Chicago, for with the can hardly be more than a utility man. Chance had a letter from Johnny Ev- ers only a few days ago and the little second baseman of the champions said he didh't expect to join the team until June. But Chance believes he can be induced to return. He wants to start the Cubs off in the race with the reg- ulars in the game, just as they played against Detroit last fall.

As a rule the public knows very little about the underhand methods that are sometimes resorted to in pugilism, and a little expose right here might be in- teresting.

He matched Sullivan and me at his club and agreed to pay me $1500, guaranteed, win, lose or draw. ~ .

We met on June 2 and were to™ g® six rounds to a decision, but on the eve of battle Herford demanded that we fight six rounds and the match be called a draw if both men were on their feet at the finish.

I started off in the first three rounds apparently winning easy. Herford, Joe Gans and Young Peter Jackson, by the way, all of whom were handling Sulli- van, became uneasy, sfearing I would knock Sultivan out. They then began to use tricks and unfair - methods.

Again at the minute's rest botween the fourth and fifth rounds, his seconds, thinking they hadn't applied sufficient medicine on his gloves, smeared on an extra heavy dose, which almost blinded me during that round. In the sixth and last round we both stepped to the center, and, as is custo- mary, shook hands.

First Appearance on Stage, My appearance in the East had cre- ated quite a lot of attention, thanks to the sporting writers and the fight fans, and I was a little bit surprised one night in Philadelphia when it was suggested to me that I go on the stage. I had just licked Jack O’Neill in a six- round fight and was feeling pfetty good. The stage thing kinder got my goat, however, for I couldn’t help thinking about the time when I tried to make a speech after my fight with ‘‘Cross- eyed’’ Mickey Riley. That was the time the fellow hit me in the mouth with a silver dollar and cut off any further conversation. I saw a chance to make some money out of it, though, and after thinking it over I decided to take a chance. It was less than twenty-four hours from that time that I got a telegram from Harry Farren, manager of the Colum- bia. Theater in Boston, offering me $70) for a four nights’ engagement, in ad- dition to two round-trip tickets from Philadelphia to Boston. I accepted im- mediately and started for Boston. Couldn’t Make a Speech. All the way up there I was trying to think what kind of a speech I would make. I knew I would have to say something in addition to boxing a few rounds.

Britt has been in communication with Johnson’s manager and has received word that the colored champion will reach Vancouver March 18. “TIT want to sign the men for May 20 before Jimmy Coffroth’s club,” said Britt. ‘‘Ketchel is the very man to meet Johnson. Jack can do a lot of pecking with either hand, but Ketchel has a knockout wallop in either mit, which counts for a lot more.”’

Anyway, I drew packed houses and felt that I had given the theater people their money’s worth. On my way to the coast I showed a week at the Tro- cadero Theater, in Chicago, and got $1000 for it. But there was nothing do- ing in the speech line. P Now that it was getting close to July 1 and as the special clause in the tem- porary agreement in the Nelson-Britt articles stated that I must be on Cali- fornia soil by July 1, I nrfigrated back to San Francisco, arriving June 30) On July 1 my manager ahd I went to Harry Corbett’s place, where the for- feits had been posted, to meet Britt and his manager, where we were to sign the final articles.

— Experts Can’t Agree On Attell- -Driscoll Bout

res NEW YORK, Feb. 2. UST who was victor in the ten- J round, no-decision bout last night at New York between Jem Dris- coll, featherweight champion of En- gland, and wAbe Attell, champion of the same fight division of this country, seems to be one of the hardest pugilistic problems that has yet been put to the fight critics of New. York. Referee Charley White, one of the most noted authorities in the coyntry and considered the best referee, now that George Siler has passed away, said that, had a decision been permitted under the law, he would have given it to Attell, because the latter adminis- tered the greatest punishment. On the other hand, newspaper critics at the ringside are divided as to wheth- er Attell or Driscoll won. Neither man was hurt as a result of the ten rounds of wonderful boxing displayed by these men, and the reputation of neither is injured by the go. The prevailing opin- ion is that nothing short of a long fight ean decide the supremacy between this. the most wonderful pair of boxers the world has ever seen in the ring tegether. Stories of Fight Vary. Reporters seem to have seen the fight } from different angles, for some recount where Attell seemed in distress where others say Driscoll seemed more than tonce about to get his quietus. The most remarkable part of it is that Attell is credited with the heavier punch, when heretofore he has never shown anything but an annoying jab. : , Following are some of the opinions expressed as to the autcome of the mill: BAT MASTERSON: Attell'’s fight.

'TENPIN RECORDS ARE IN DANGER Local Bowlers May P May Petition A. B. C. to Not Recognize Marks Made on Certain Alleys. Local tenpin men are considering the advisability of offering a resolution to the American Bowling Congress at Pittsburg in regard to alleys on which world’s records are bowled. It is claimed’ that every record established on the Grand alleys will stand, inas- much as the alleys are registered with the American Bowling Congress, How- ever, the resolution that is being framed up has it that the alleys on which a record is made must be cross-planed and painted with shellac at least once a year. Charley Wall, a local bowler who for- merly shot with the Grands of the St. Louis League on the Grand alleys, yes- terday offered to wager that no mem- ber of the Burkes team could average 200 for three games on the Teutonia, Lange’s or De Soto alleys, outside of the Nos. 15 and 16 runs at the latter place.

Later on, public sentiment forced Mr. Britt to get out and do something to + show that he was capable of defending his title against me. Early in August my manager and Britt’s brother, Wil- lus, got together in Coffroth’s Belvidere and discussed the details of a match. Jimmy and I were not present and the managers wrangled fqar three days be- fore a final agreement had been reached. The Britts trfed every means imaginable to block the match, but were unsuc- cessful. They held the trump card and dictated almost every phrase. The Britt brothers, thinking I would balk at the long route, Stipulated that the battie go 45 rounds, that we weigh in at 133, ringside, also that we must bet $10,000 on the side and fight, winner take all. Evidently the Britts didn’t figure that they were playing right tnto my hands when they named the 45-round route, which the San Franciscans have since named the ‘‘Battler’s route,’’ because I can go over the long course like a Derby horse over a Derby route. 1 conceded him each and every point and would have agreed to a thousand rounds just to get him inside the 24foot ring. After agreeing to all the conditions named, even to a percentage of the gate, the Britts balked, demanding a $20,200 guaranteed purse, with the privilege of 65 per cent of the gross gate receipts, James W. Coffroth, who was to pro-, mote the match, readily agreed to either one of the conditions—a $20,000 flat guar- antee or 65 per cent of the gross gate receipts. Just as negotiations Were apparently all off and things became darker than ever and the parties concerned started to adjourn, we took the last regort. My backers guaranteed Jimmy Britt the $20,000 purse for me and posted $10,000 to make it good, and were willing to gam- ble on a ‘percentage basis for my end.

E by spectators, in a no decision event. Freddie Welsh defeated Attell. Of course Abe was conceding him many pounds of weight; but Owen Moran twice fought him to a hair, so that the referee was unable to name a victor. Now comes Jem Driscoll and gets what many think is a point victory over Abe. That is surely quite a record for a nation that was supposed to have al- most entirely lost its grip on the sport it once made famous. It is only fair to say that the invasion of England by American boxers, beginning nearly a decade ago and continuing since that time, is probably responsible for the improved fighting that is now being witnessed over there, The British are slow to alter time honored methods in sport; but seeing their men so repeated- ly beaten because they had nothing in their repertoire but the “straight left” of a century previous, they took a leaf from the visiting fighters’ books to good purpose. There is new every like- lihood ‘in the world that England will soon be sending us a capable fighter of something more than featherweight or lightweight class. But at present the little men alone seem able to uphold the glory of Albion. o - for playing 26 games with the Browns late last season, in the course of which he started out Ike a whirlwind and finished like a vacuum. Now he is balking on reporting to French Lick Springs, where his em- ployer offers to send him at the club’s expense, to properly fit him for work this season. ‘Violet’ is a dear little thing, but she’s one awfully spoiled baseball*player. MMETT HEIDRICK received $1500 So Jimmy Williams, despite his rugged appearance and the favorable reports about his condition, must go to Hot Springs for rheumatism. That’s the first mean thing the year 1909 has chronicled for the Browns. It may spell a weakness at second base this year, when, of all years, that stonewall in- field needs every ounce of efficiency. But James may get his muscles to round into shape all right, although it was rheumatism that put Williams to the debit side of the ledger late last season, Messrs.

DEMORALIZATION Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. Slumps Heavily; Entire List Sags.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-—-The Evening Sun, in its financial review today, says: “Following upon Monday’s quite general and fairly extensive rise in prices the stock market developed reactionary tendencies, and toward the close of the week, became quite unsettled. The advance on Monday had several explanations. At the close of the Dispatc ‘ previous week the Public Service Commis- | gion announced its assent, under certain re- strictions, to the issue by the Erie Railway Company of $30,000,000 collateral trust bonds, a matter which had long been a leading subject of conjecture and discussion. The advance in the rate of dividend on People’s Gas stock, to take effect the next dividend- declaration period, became known too late last week to have any effect marketwise, but led to a rapid rise in People’s Gas on Monday. Then, again, American shares had advanced quite steadily in the London mar- ket over the local holidays, and at the open- ing of the week foreign houses were quite heavy buyers of stocks in the local market. These various circumstances as noted, led to a substantial advance on Monday, but to be fully dissi- ted on that day. The various reserva- Tors made by the Public Service Commis- sion in the matter of the Erie bond issue caused feelings of disappointment, and, be- sides, it was plain that the extent of the ‘rise in the stock market toward the close of: the previous week and on Monday had been sufficient to induce heavy profit-taking sales by speculators, and, in addition, some actual liquidation. On Tuesday operations in the ] 1 market for foreign account showed an excess of sales for the first time in some 10 days, and foreign houses have since then been daily more or less active on the same side. The amounts disposed of were not large until the closing days of the week, but, as usual, no little weight upon speculative sentiment. “The rather sharp reaction in prices orm Thursday resulted, after alj, in a decline equal, on the average. only to about the ad- vance scored on onday. The break in ces that day was based principaliy upon ntimations that the conditions in the iron and stee! trades had reached a stage where efforts would no longer be made to maintain ricés and that a wi paupee market would be eclared. These suggestions led to a decline of two points In United States Steel common, a noteworthy loss for a stock of that stand- ing and general description. There is noth- ing whatever that could correctly be de- scribed as actually new in Steel trade con- ditions. They have been depressed for many months... as might have been ascertained by anybody in a position to obtain trustworthy information. “Naturally the state of things in that di- rection has not been improved by the pros- t of tariff revision, but, broadly apeee ng. it might be asserted that conditions OW are realiy no worse than they were in tober and in a measure inight be described as better on account of the fact that tariff revision is closer at hand now than it was then.-with the consequent removal of al! uncertainty in that respect. “Tt was in great measure the character of the gelling in the stock market of United States Steel common that produced the un- easiness which was observed on Thursday. “Proceeding frem-. the identity . of the brokers who executed the largest selling or- ders in the stock, speculators arrived at the conclusion that ‘insMe’. liquidation was in progress and based their market ventures accordingly. Runtors are now current plac- ing various estimates upon the extent of the reductions to be made in the iron and steel schedules in the new tariff. It is not easy to assign any definite basis for these No well-informed person, believes, however, that the steel trade in this coun- try will be rulned or even seriously menaced by the tariff revision, and, on the other hand, it will unquestionably be benefited by the conclusion of the work. "The rather extensive declines in Union cific and Southern Pacific on Jhursday, ich were ostensibly based upon the rumors of the serious indisposition of the head of the Union Pacific system, contributed further o the course of the stock market on that ay. Apparently. *, these reports have little foundation, in fact they have been denied with what ought to be accepted as sufficient authority. he chief signifi- cance in fact, on Thursday's rather striking transactions inthe stock market, might be 'im the illustrations which they af- forded of the great influence exercised upon rket at large by the course followed these h & been

two groups of securities, and this ha the case for an indefinite period. At all events, no more definite reasons could be assigned for the losses of one and two nta and déver which were scored by nearly eve stock on the list than the weakness the United States Steel shares and the Harriman stocks, *Accordl to the most recent advices the rill be called in extraordinary ses- » on Mareh 15. According, alsa to legal horitative reports, the session will not be much after June 1, although it is scertain why such an‘early date > ed. It may be assumed, how- that the preliminary work and details ever of the revision of the tariff schedules have virtually concluded.

Hiow much time is to be taken up in the debates and speech- making incidental to the legislation remans, , to be seen, political equation as to be considered In connection with this st aspect of the matter, although along traditional lines it is hard to see why the party of the opposition should attempt ta Make a vigorous fight against a downward re- nh of the tariff. It is quite certain that activities of the new Congress will like- wise be taken up with the necessity for mak- a better balanced Government budget than exists. In fact, {t might be said that present fiscn] system there is no t at all and little attempt ts made to en ¢ balance between Income and There is alrendy talk of the imposing ah income ta¥ and of other new and ex traordinary forms for rristng fresh revenues. it is quite certain that the proceedings in flong the various lines mentioned will be the leading themes of interest jin fnan- cial cireles throughout the eprinz montbs.

The local wheat market was very broad and active under an enormous general trade Satur- day, prices moving in a rapid and nervous manner in the most interesting sexsion held for a long time. The tone was unsettled and irregular. A sharp decline following a firm opening, after which prices again worked up to about steady levels. The close was a shade higher to ke lower for the day. The ex- change will be closed Monday, Feb. 22, Washington's Birthday. A firm tone characterized the opening which Was active. Further seattered buying on the part of trailers after the ball added to short covering on the firm cables and small initial offerings in the pit. ket had evidently become over-bought, how- ever, for the session had only been in progress a short time when very heavy pressure de- veloped. It consisted mainly of profit-taki amon the longs. which caused a caleal’ rash te sell, the offerings bein principally on the sp’endid weather ie the crop, large re- ceipts and predictions of beari statistics for Monday. Prices were offered down to smarpty lower levels before any opposition The pressure was checked toward the mid- die of the session, however, and go buy- ing developed on the continued scarcity of cash wheat and a rather bullish trend to the general sentiment in the pit.

HETTY GREEN IS UNCERTAIN ABOUT SYLUIA'S BEAU * = 7

Mother Says She Is Anxious Only for Her Daughter’s Happiness. —os SUITOR IS INSPECTED

“He Is Not a Young Man,” Says Mother, ‘and He Looks All Right.”

Kiy Leased Wire From the New York BRurenu of the Post-Dispatch. Hett) of Keb. 20.—Mrs. the corridor NEW YORK, Green paused in National Park Bank and a kindly but 7 querulous expression filled her eyes as she watched the departure of a well- groomed man who had bidden her adieu with marked respect a moment before. “Tl want my daughter to be happy,’ she said, with infinite tenderness, pluck- ing nervously at her plain black dress. Her emotion accentuated the appealing appearance of a woman of advancing years. ‘But I intend to see that my daughter makes no mistake. I have not yet given my consent to her marriage.” Mrs. Green had just concluded a con- ference with Matthew Astor Wilks, wlio is pleading for the hand of Miss Sylvia Green. Its conclusion found Mrs. Green no whit less stirred as to heart-strings than any adoring mother. She _ had made the appointment with Mr. Wilks for the very good reason that. she wished to study him at close range. “IT have heard him talk, but I have heard other beaux of Sylvia’s talk,” she said. ‘‘What I have seen of him is all right.”’ Both Were Punctual, The appointment was at a fixed hour, and as Mrs. Green keeps her dates to the minute she had to walk briskly from the Hoboken ferry, while Mr. Wilks was approaching leisurely, but no less promptly, in his carriage, in which he had driven from his home at 440 Madison avenue. rived on time and walked down a stair- way to the vaults of the bank, where they would bé insured against intru- aion.. After Mr. Wilks departed Mrs. Green said: ‘Mr. Wilks comes of fine stock. His mother was a Wangdon. I am not afraid for my daughter, but I want to know Mr. Wilks better. That is the whole truth.’’ “Why have you delayed the happiness of the young man?’ Mrs. Green was asked.

I shall not have any announcement to make for some time. I want*to know certain things first. Mind you, I am called a business yroman.” She explained as her reason for mov- ing from the new Hotel Plaza that she was annoyed by the constant demands of persons to see her.

Premium on Large Families. SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 20.—An anti-race suicide bill in the Legislature requires the State to pay mothers $150 CRAMER'S BILL OR VIADUCT 15 LOST IN COUNCIL ae

Author of Railroad Measure Says Councilmen Violated Their Pledges. ‘Double crossing’’ is the method by which Ceuncilman F. Ernest Cramer, asserts the defeat of his bill for the depression of the railroad tracks and the construction of a viaduct at Comp- ton avenue was accomplished in the Council Friday afternoon. Mr. Cramer declares that two Councilmen who prom- ised him their support deserted him at the last moment and, without notice that they had changed their minds, voted to file the measure. He declines to name the men whose pledges he had. In the debate which preceded the killing of the bill Councilman Schnel- derhahn, one of Cramer’s associates on the Railroads Committee, declared that the introduction of the measure while another on the same subject was under consideration was ‘‘equivalent to an ad- verse report that should have been made squarely and openly.” Council- man Fitzsimmons characterized Cra- mer’s bill as a “subterfuge” and an attempt to “dodge an issue.” Cramer, as chairman of the Commit- tee on Railroads, made a minority re- port in favor of his bill. Councilmen Ewing and Schneiderhahn, one a Demo- crat and the other a Republican, joined In a recommendation that it be filed. By moving a suspension of the rules Councilman Ewing forced immediate ac- LAVENDER LADY “ASKS NEW TRIAL DIVORCE CASE ww

Mrs. Lemp Cites Nine Reasons Why Evidence Should Be Heard Second Time.

Nine reasons are cited in a motion filed by Mrs. Willlam J. ‘Lemp, ‘“‘the

Republican candidate for the mayoralty,. Lavender lady,” she should be granted a new trial by Judge Hitchcock in her divorce suit. The principle rea- the alimony award of why sons relate to $6000 a year, and the privilege granted Mr. Lemp to have custody of William J. Lemp IIl., 8 vears old, at stated intervals. In regard to the alimony Mrs. Lemp’'s lawyers allege in the motion that the sum is insufficient for the support of their cllent, and the maintenance and education of the child, considering the wealth and income of Mr. Lemp. It is further contended that alimony in a gross sum should have been a}l- lowed. This sum, it tis set forth, should be in accordance with the wealth of the defendant. Fault is found with Judge Hitchcock’s refusal to issue a subpena duces tecum so that the books of the Lemp Brewing Co. could be ex- amined in court. Mrs, Lemp Alleges Injustice, The privilege granted to Mr. Lemp to have custody of the child from Sat- urday at 9 a. m. to 8 o’clock Sunday evening every aliernate week is declared “to work an injustice on plaintiff and her child.’’ The privilege is not war- ranted by the evidence, it is set forth. The right of the father to have the boy two weeks during the summer va- cation is also attacked. Mrs. Lemp further objects to the re- striction that the child must be edu- cated in St. Louis. This is declared to be an “unjustifidble interference with the rights of plaintiff as the mother and natural guardian.”’ The motion was placed on the law docket. It is not improbable it will be argued next Friday. POLICEMAN 17: ARS, DISMISSED FOR DRINKING a. —_ * “It’s Hard to Do, but That’s My Duty,” Says Presi- dent Gray.

tion. Cramer seconded the motion. He would have permitted the usual course, RN aye he says, but for the assurance of two Councilmen that they would vote with him for the measure’s passage. With their ballots on his side the bill would have had a majority. On the roll call, following an effort of | Fe Councilman Stix to defer a ballot, Cra- _— ttn’ > mer, Moellman, Thomson and Forman, enn ; Vs Republicans, and Hauschulte, a Demo- ; crat, voted for the bill, and Ewing, {5 YEA int G Fitzsimmons and Norvell, Democrats, and Stix, Schnelderhahn and Walther, Republicans, opposed it. The Ceuncil is now pledged te a cen- sideration of the Terminal Commis- sion’s bill advocating the vacation of 1§ acres of streets west of Pwing ave- nue, and the construction of a subway across Mill Creek Valley at Compton avenue. Both Councilman Schnelder- hahn and Councilman Ewing, members of the Railroads Committee, say that the measure will be so amended as to give all Cramer’s bill contemplated. Councilman Schneiderhahn said that but for the injection of Cramer’s bill a few weeks ago the committee would have disposed of the Termina! Commis- sion’s measure. “After Mr. Cramer‘s bill reaehed the committee we could @o nething,” said Mr. Schneiderhahn. “We decided, there- fore, that the best way to insure prog- ress was to recommmend that Cramer’s bill be filed. We did that from a sense of duty and we don’t care what effect it has.” It is expected that the committee will now report the Terminal Commission's bili with an amendment requiring the payment of enough money to build a viaduct Instead of the subway original- ly proposed at Compton avenue, and the avenue as a4
