- ‘Under Merciless Cross-Exami- nation His Official Record Is Laid Bare.

~ SUED FOR TRUST FUND “ Court Documents Admitted as Evidence in Spite of Protests.

HE TELLS OF KILLING Says He Drew His Revolver Only After Carmack Had Wounded His Son.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 24.—Col. Duncan B. Cooper was mericilessly gril- led during the cross-examination today at the trial of himself, his son Robin, and John D. Sharp for the murder of former Senator Carmack. His record for many years was gone into and he was forced to admit that his official con- duct had subjected him to court pro- ceedings. His attorneys bitterly fought this phase of the cross-examination and con- tested every step. As a rule the court refused to sustain their objections and Col. Cooper was forced to answer ques- tions and documents showing his rec- ord were allowed in evidence. During the argument. regarding the admission of this testimony Attorney Fitzhugh for the State, said: ’ “We propose to show that this defend- ant, Col. D. B. Cooper; is a defaulter and an embezzier to the extent of over , . .We propose to prove this be- *yond doubt, and. thus to sfiow to the $ury just how much credit they should We propose to go ifs -own brothers came into court and mdmitted that the defendant is a de- faulter. “We pose to show that he em- ezzled from estates, from widows and’ ‘orphans, from the county and from the ‘State, and from the very records kept by hinr to prove itd’ Did Not Resernt Accusations. Attorney Fitzhugh said that though openly accused of embezzlement, Coop- ‘er had not declared that the town was . 00 small for him and his accusers. At- _#torney-General McCarn added that the transactions in question extended from | 1883 to 1998. _ |. The defense protested that no effort 3 had been made to show that Carmack - ‘was killed because of the editorials, but ' that the shooting was done by Robin - Cooper in self-defense after he had been wounded. The Ceurt ended the argument by sug- gesting that the charges against Col. Cooper be turned over to the defense for examination and court adjourned to » permit this examination to be made.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. HE remarkable feature of 7 the “inaugural souvenir” issued by the committee in charge of the. irwugural cere- monies ts a biographiacl sketch of President-elect Taft*by Pres- ident Roosevelt. It has peculiar significance in view of rumors that have been published to the effect that friction existed be- tween Roosevelt and Taft. The keynote of the President's sketch may be found in these words: “No man of better training, no man of more dauntless courage, of common sense and higher character, has ever come to the presidency than William How- ard Taft.” The President in concise terms precedes this statement with a his- tory of the President-elect, touch- ing simply upon: his public achieve- ments. In one place, referring to Taft as Solicitor-General, he says:

Roosevelt Writes the © Story of Taft’s Life For Official Souvenir E won an enviable reputa- H tion, and succeeded to a remarkable degree in com- bining entire fearlessness in stat- ing and upholding his own convic- tions with the ability to avoid giving needless offense te those whose convictions differed from his. It is one of Mr. Taft’s great gifts of usefulness that he pos- sesses exactly the ability un- flinchingly to stand by the right, and yet to do it with the minimum of offensiveness toward those who do not see matters as clearly as he does.”’ The President refers Taft’s judicial record, saying: “It fell to Mr. Taft to decide a number of cases in which he blazed in advance the trail that all judges must in the end follow.

EXPRESS. CLERK S SLAIN WITH HIS OWN WEAPON Special to the Post-Dispatch. HUTCHINSON, Kan., Feb. 24.—Jesse Haymaker, night clerk at the Wells- Fargo express office in the Santa Fe station heie, was murdered this morn- and both the dépot office and the up- town office of the express company were rebbed. It is believed the murderer and robber obtained only a small amount of money. Haymaker is believed to have been shot with his own weapon. It was at 5 o'clock this morning that the night telegraph operator, George Clark, at the Santa Fe station heard a pistol shet. The telegraph office is located in a separate building near the depot and at the opposite end from the express office. Clark went outside, but saw no one. and returned to his work. Haymaker’s dead body was not discovered until an hour and a half later, when the dayman showed up at the express office. Then it was discovered that the money draw- ers of both the depot office and the uptown office of the express company had been robbed. Only a small amouht of money had been left in either place last night and the robber probably got less than $10. The police are on the track of a youth, 19 years old, who wes geen hanging around the station before the crime was committed. He did not get home until 6 o'clock this morning, “telling his mother that he had stayed with a boy friend over night. He left soon after and has not been seen since. The murder Was an unusually bold one. The place where the crime was committed is not 100 feet away from the main entrance to the Bisonte Hotel, and the shot Was heard by the night clerk there. Only one shot was heard, and but one wound in the head was found on the. body. A .45-caliber cart- ridge was found beside the body and Haymaker’s weapon, a ‘.45,"" is miss- ing.

Exposure to inclement weather and wounds received in falling on a picket fence are believed to have caused the death of a man supposed to be Herman I’. Oertling, whose body was _ found Wednesday morning in a ravine near Dale avenue, in the extreme southwest- ern part of the city. Emjl Mills of 1419 Cutter street, on: his way to work at 7 o'clock, found the body. It was stripped of outer clothing and was clad only in underclothes, socks and shoes. There was a gash over the left eye and the man’s legs were torn and cut. At the home of Samuel Doolittle, near by,. blood was found on the back porch, on a picket fench and on the branches of a peach tree beside the fence. Woman Heard Groans, Mrs. Dora Doolittle, who is a sister of Mills, says she was awakened at 2a m. by groans in the back yard. After listening for a time she awakened Ray- mond Mills, her nephew, who was spend- ing the night at- the house. Raymond went next door and awakened Thomas Kinney. They looked out through the kitchen window and saw a man half lying and half hanging on the picket fence be- tween the back yards of the two resi- dences. The man continued to groan but they feared that he was shamming and did not go into the yard. They called to him to go away. With a renewed effort he detached himself from the pickets and went around to the front porch of the Doolittle home. Then he stumbled down the road toward the ravine, where he was later found. Probably Fell From Tree. The conciusion arrived at by the po- lice is that the man was prowling about and attempted to go from the Doolittle premiges to the Kinney pack yard by climbing the peach tree and dropping on the other side of the fence, but fell on the sharp pickets. D. W. Conway of 67% Wise avenue, a letter carrier, identified him as @ man who called at his home eneay and asked for work. Bleod spots discovered of the home of Mrs. Tyler Brown, 1421 Cutter street, indicate that the man was there also. At each of these places noises were heard but nobody Was seen. On a book in one of the pockets of the man was found a card bearing the name of Herman F. OCertling and showing that he is a member of Waiters’ Union, local No. 9%.

Phrilling incidents abounded as 60 fire- men, viewed by a throng which filled the wide space of Twelfth street, near Pine, did midair battle Wednesday with flames at the top of the six-story Mul- vihill furniture store. Vind which was almost a gale shook the half dozen tal! ladders to which, like sailors in the rigging, the fire fighters clung, Thousands of spectators gasped and groaned as one of the ladders, with Pipeman John Devine at its top, yielded to the blast and fell toward the burn- ing building. Devine, in deadly peril, swung off as the top of the ladder passed the fifth- story windew. The window was closed, but he kept his precarious hold on the sill until firemen raised it from within. The other ladders continued to creak and sway, and a few minutes later Chief Swingley, standing at the bottom of one of the ladders. heard it crack. Ladder Brexks Twice. *‘Come down!”’ the Chief trumpeted to the seven men who were carrying a line of hose toward the top, and the men scrainbled down. As they did so the ladder broke just above the head of the highest man. Even then the falling sac- tion threatened to sweep the men from the ladder, but it passed just beyond them. They had hardly reached the ground when the ladder broke agzn. As these accidents were hindering the firemen, the water tower canie clattering along Twelfth street and backed up to the front of the building. The tower has a solid standpipe, ending in a nozzle at its lofty top. As firemen scurried up the ladder, he tower was connected at the bot- tom and the water turned on. Before the water had mounted to the top, the cennection broke, and a half-dozen men on the greund were knocked down by the stream which burst from the leak. Chief Swingley said the tower had net been used for several years. The breaking of the connection rendered it worthless. Loss Estimated at 830,000 Even with the handicaps of these ac- cidents, the firemen succeeded in keep- bing the blaze on the'‘sixth floor, where it had started, with some incidental <de- struction on the fifth floor. The loss is estimated by Chief Swingley at $30,- 000, two-thirds being on the stock. M. J. Mulvihill, president of the Mulvihill Furniture Co., and chief owner of the stock, places the loss much higher. A general alarm was sounded for the fire, which broke out shortly before 9:30 a. m. This summoned all the com- panies in the central part of tine city, and caused companies in outlying dis- tricts to “move up’”’ to other and nearer engine houses. Within the building at 112-114 North Twelfth street, and in the three-story bullding just nerth, there were two ex- citing rescues. A young man employed in the store ran to the sixth floor and became penned by flames. Firemen got him to the fire escape uninjured. His name was not learned. Girls Caught by Flames. In the next building, Margaret Ma- haney and Josie Martin, employes: of T. M. Jackson's restaurant, ran to the third floor to get their wraps and hats, and the roof, burning through, let @ singeing blast in on them. Their hair and eyebrows were scorched and they ran back downstairs without the articles they had sought. Firemen saved the building from great damage. From the roof the three-story building occupied by the Scannoll Leath- er Co., on Pine street, nine streams of water swept the Mulvihill building. Within, salvage corps men covered the stock rapidly with tarpaulins, The fifth and sixth floors were store- reoms and were well filled with furni- ture, much of it packed in straw and excelsior. The building, raised a few years ago frem three to six stories, was considered fireproof. Cashier Discovered Fire. There Was nO ope above the first floor when the fire broke out. Miss Nora Leahy, the cashier, first smelled smoke and called John F. Synder, the manager, Who rode to the fifth floor in the elevator. Four other employes haa time to col- lect their valuables before leaving the first floor office and gsalesroom. Mulvihill, who had just returned from Chicago, appeared soon after the fire- men came. His wife and their daughter, Miss Verenica Mulvyihji), were in the crowd which watched the exciting spec- tacle. Crossed electric wires petween the fifth and sixth floors are believed to have caused the fire. Ne I an Roosevelt to in Pa , PARIS, Feb. 2%. Unitroreiter ot 4inue, and John N.

TONGUE OF WAGON STRIKES Flory (IN CHEST “PP LLL ge

CORONER FNS A MISIERY IN AUTOIST'S DEATH sy -

A post mortem examination of the body of Louis Flory, whose six compan- fons in an automobile accounted for his death early Wednesday by saying he Was struck by a protruding wagon tongue, was ordered Wednesday after- noon by Deputy Coroner Carriere. The Deputy Coroner says City Hos- pital physicians have reported to him that only a slight bruise appears on young Flory’s body at the place where the wagon tongue Is said to have struck lim. He has ordered the post mortem physician, Dr. J. A. Hartmann, to look out for a possible trace of “knockout drops’’ or other poison in the stomach. Udrry R. Winzer and five other young men, Flory’s companions on the fatal ride, are prisoners awaiting the inquest, whieh will begin at 9 a. m. Thursday. The report on the post-mortem is to be made then. They stuck Wednesday to their first story of the manner of Flory's injury. A dim and flickering arc lamp at Twenty-second street and Lucas ave- nue gave so little light that the chauf- feur, speeding east on the almost de- serted street shortly before 1 a. m, did not see the wagon, which a careless teamster had left obstructing the pave- ment. As Winzer, turning the machine suddenly, avoided a wreck, the wagon tongue struck Flory in the right breast. The young man fell back. Winzer stopped the auto, which had been run- ning 20 miles an hour or faster, and it was proposed to take Flory to the City Dispensary. “No,” he said, “‘take me to my broth- er-in-law,’’ and he named an address on South Broadway. Arrive Too Late. Winzer ran the car to Olive street and turned east. At Sixteenth street he was seen to be unconscious, and the machine was run to the Dispensary. A physician ordered immediate _re- moval to the City Hospital, and Flory's comrades started to take him there. When the hospital was reached he was dead. ‘ A policeman at the hospital arrested the six young men in the auto, and, on learning where the accident had oc- curred, took them all to the Carr Street Station. Winzer admitted there that his em- ployer, M. E. Green of 4364 Delmar boulevard, had not known his c@r was out. Winzer gave his address as 4662 Del- mar boulevard. His companions were Fritz Walter of 4615 Delmar boulevard, Earl Miller and John F. Henthorn, same address; Joe Henly of 3740 Evans ave- LeQuertie of 4009 St. Ferdinand avenue.

ee ee + -~ ee ee DIVORCE DUE TO AIENOSHIP. FOR A CLOAK MODEL Judge Tells Husband No One Would Believe His Explan- ations of Affairs.

John H. Bledsoe, seeking a divorce in Judge Mueneh’s court Wednesday, gave such unique replies to questions about his acquaintance with Miss Bon- nie Finney, a cloak model, that the judge exclaimed: “No man, on or off the bench, would believe such statements as yours,”’ Then Judge:Muench granted a divorce to Mrs. Bledsoe, who had filed a cross- bill. In spite of Bledsoe’s protest that his former income of $200 a month had dwindled to $60, the urt awarded the wife $9 a month: A le 4 She also gained the custody of the two daughters, the younger. of whom, Thelma, 1% months old, was in her arms in court. Wife Seized Jewelry. Bonnie Finney, whom one of the men witnesses described as a “bleached blonde,”” was the principal topic of testimony. It was testified that she spent much of her time at the Hotel Jefferson, where the frequent visits of cloak salesmen wishing to display their goods gave her employment. Her ad- dress was given as 4130 Westminster place. Mrs. Bledsoe testified that she once followed Miss Finney, whom she recog- nized from a friend’s description, from Olive street and Newstead avenue to a downtown department store, and there seized from her a watch and chain and a stickpin which she recognized as her husband's property. “T asked her if she was intending to meet my husband in the store,” said Mrs. Bledsee, ‘and when she started to walk up the aisle, I saw the chain and took the watch and pin away from her. 4 Was Looking for Business. “T saw them walking arm-in-arm,” the wife continued. “When I got after my husband about it, he said: ‘*All you can do is to get a divorce. You can’t do anything to her. She isn’t bothering me, I’m bothering her.’ "’ Bledsoe, when called as a witness, denied having said anything of the kind. and testified that his attentions to Bonnie Finney had been with a view to getting business. ‘“l am in the automobile business,” he testified. ‘She knew lots of tray- eling men, and by being friendiy with her I was enabled to meet them and get their business whenever they needed autos.” “It was after you knew her that your income fell off so much, wasn't it?’ asked a lawyer. Bledsoe replied that the decline in his earning power had commenced before he knew the young woman. Paid Her Dental Bill. Following testimony by a dentist that Bledsoe had ‘stood for’ Bonnie Fin- ney’s dental bill, a physician teatified that Bledsoe had taken the young wom- an to his office for treatment. Bledsoe admitted this. ‘But my relations with her were at no time improper,” he testified. It was then that Judge Muench made the disgusted remark about Bledsoe’s credibility as a witness and gave Mra. Bledsoe, instead of the husband, the decree. Special Officer Brennan testified that he had arrested Bledsoe, at Mra. Bied- soe’s instance, on a wife abandonment charge, which was later dropped on the husband’s agreement to support her. He said he went to Bonnie Finney and told her she would have to leave Biefsoce alone, and that she replied, “Why doesn't his wife keep him at home?” AT 90 MULTIMILLIONAIRE MARRIES 18-YEAR-OLD MISS

Ten men were found to be available for the Democratic nomination for Mayor when the Democratic City Cen- trl Committee met at noon Wednesday at headquarters in the Liggett Building. Chairman Thomas J. Ward called the meeting for the purpose of hearing from the éommitteemen whom he had sent out to see the various men mentioned for places on the city ticket. From one to six men weer found as possibilities for each of the other places on the ballot. There have been sO many names sug- gested that Chairman Ward detailed committeemen to see each of the men talked about, to learn if they would ac- cept the various nominations. These committeemen reported at the meeting Wednesday. ‘ The 10 men picked as mayorality posst- bilities are: William Woerner, John Schroers, F. M. Crunéen, H. G. Rolfes, Edward Devoy, Edwa:.. C. Crow, Robert E. Rutledge, Dr. John Simon and Moses . Sale. No Opposition to Incumbents. The incumbents were the only names suggested for comptroller, auditor and collector. They are James Y. Player, Comptroller; Bernard Dierkes, Auditor, and James Hagerman, Collector. Hugh McSkimming was found to be available for city registrar. For president of the Council, Walker Hill and Theodore Benoist were men- tioned. For members of the Council the men Suggested were John G. Steinlage, John H. Herkemhoff, Fred Arnold, Adolph Kolb, Henry Priesmeyer, Henry Heil, Timothy Moloney, Arthur Donnely, Ja- Z cob Hellrung, and Charles F. Ziebold. A committee from the West End Business Men's Club attended the com- mittee meeting in the interest of Ziebold for Mayor, but the committee was in executive session and the Ziebold emis- saries did not get in. They told Chair- man Ward, however, that Ziebold told them to say that if he was not consid- ered available for Mayor he would like a place on the Council ticket. No Word From Woerner. Michael J. Mulvihill had been depu- tized to call on William F. Woerner in regard to his availability for mayor, but the Mulvihill furniture store on Twelfth street was burning about the time the meeting was called, and Mul- vihill aid not attend. The attitude of Woerner was there- fore not known to the committee. All members were present with the ex- ception of Mulvihill. Chairman Ward Said that probably there would not be another meeting until Monday night, Mr. Woerner, who is regarded by the City Committee as one of the strongest men mentioned for the mayoralty nomi- nation, is 44 years old and lives at 2124 South Compton avenue. He is accounted a good public speaker and has done considerablé campaigning for the Demo- cratic party. He has told members of the committee that in order to make the race for May- or he would have to make some finan- cial sacrifices. He was for four years Associate City Counselor, and while serving in that ca- pacity he drafted the ordinance requir- ing the United Railways Co. to pay a tax of 1 mill on each passenger, in- stead of the usual license tax of $2 a car each year. Fought Traction Fight. The United Railways Co. resisted the of this ordinance, and Woerner conducted the city’s end of the litigation. The United States Supreme Court has upheld and there is now due the city more than $1,000,000 in back license taxes. The decision of the Supreme Court in this case establishes some new princi- ples of law, and attorneys say it paves the way for the ultimate Overruling of the John Marshall decision in the fa- mous Dartmouth College case. In that case the Supreme Court decided that a franchise granted by a municipality or state to a COrporation was a contract not subject to amendment. The United Railways Co., through its attorneys, cited the Dartmouth College decision in fighting the enforcement of the ordi- nance, declaring that the franchises of the company were contracts with the city which should not be affected by subsequent legislative enactment. Mr. Woerner contended that the taxing power of the city was independent. of the franchises, and won his case. His friends point to the achievement as giving him a leading position at the St. Louis bar. The Bar Association of st. Louis rec- ommended him for Circyit Judge - last fall.

She is n a serious condition at her home, 2309 ery street, where she was taken hfter she was found in a swoon on the loor of the areaway. At midnight the police of the North arket Street Police Station arrested nsil Skages, 15 years old, of 3623 North venth street; Charles Moore, 3615 orth Broadway, also 15 years old, and yde Casey, 16, of 812 Salisbury street. ‘The boys had’ smeared burnt cork 4m their faces, and Hester Krone and Mlorence Carr were dressed in Mother Hubbards. | As they were passing the areaway the soYs sprang out at them and dragged hem into it.

‘BULLETS, FIR THROUGH DOOR HT.2 BURGLARS -_ Kansas City Man Mortally Wounds One, Seriously Injures Another.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 24.—Caught in the act of burglarizing the Kansas Mercantile Co.'s downtown store, two robbers were shot by H. M. Craddock, the proprietor. John Sterner was cap- tured mortally wounded. Another man, said to have been one of Sterner’s com- panions, was found at a hospital today badly wounded. Craddock and J. S. Reque, manager of the dry goods department, returned to the building at 7 o’clock last night to mark goods. About $:30 o’clock Crad- dock heard a noise in the rear. He went to his desk and got a revolver. As he reached the rear of. the store he heard a noise at the door leading into the basement and (fired two shots through the panels. Craddock rushed across the street {fo a drug store and called the police. When they reached the basement they found where someone had been dragged on the floor. Following the trail about fif- ty feet, they found a man unconscious with a bullet wound in the right breast. The druggist across the Street said he saw two men come from the build- ing, one leaning on the other one, and board a car. The car was followed and it was learned the man was shot in the leg. Later the police found a man with a. bullet wound in his leg in the hospital and are watching him.

THE SUICIDE OF EUT. MOLLER 7

Love Affair One Theory; He Had Courted Girl Won by Football Star. MILLS DENOUNCED HIM Acquitetd of Cruelty, General Called Him Disgrace to the Service. By Leased Wire From New York Bu- . reau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Sharp differ- ences of opinion exist in army circles as to the reason which prompted Lieut. John J. Moller of the Eighth Infantry, U. S. A., who formerly lived in St. Louis, to put a_ bullet through his brain Monday night at the Grand Union Hotel. Many of his friends on Gover- nor’s Island believe a crushing disap- pointment in love was the sole misfor- tune that made life. valueless to him. Others are positive that grief over un- just official censure upon his work in the Philippines unhinged his reason. Moller was graduated from West Point in 1904; assigned to the Eighth Infantry as second lieutenant and sent to Gover- nor’s Island, where he acted as post- jutant. While there he met Miss Eliz- abeth Shirley of Louisville, who regent- ly became the bride of Tom Shevlin, Yale’s footbal) star, allround’ athlete and millionaire. Miss Shirley was a frequent guest at the post, and Lieut. Moller was attentive to her. This friendship continued until the departure of Moller and his regiment for the Philippines in 1906. Friends of Moller are certain that the young officer was deeply attached to the Kentucky girl, but no one believes a formal en- gagement existed between them. Denounced by His General. Moller returned from the Philippines a year ago and was detailed to the Presidio, at Monterey, Cal. The sun- shine had gone out of his life. He had been courtmartialed in the Philip- pines on charge of permitting the tor- ture of native prisoners, and, although acquitted, had been denounced officially as a disgrace to the service by the General in command. On his return, friends say, he found that garbled versions of his service troubles had preceded him and that cer- tain former friends had been prejudiced against him, and worrying over these conditions, he was no longer the alert, hopeful junior officer, but a man aged far beyond his years.e« He was at his Western post when Miss Shirley was married. Among the prominent army men who do not credit this theory of disappoint- ed love in Moller’s case is Capt. Wil- liam T. Johnson of the Fifteenth Cav- alry. Brooded Over Mills’ Cencure. “I knew young Moller,”’ said the Cap- tain, “‘and believe that morbid brooding over his troubles in the Philippines drove him to suicide. He was prob- ably attentive to Miss Shirley, just as he was courteously attentive to other ladies. “But the thing that broke his heart, in my opinion, was the Philippine mat- ter. He was acquitted by a full board of officers. Nevertheless, Brigadier- General Mills, in command of the de- partment, denounced him mercilessly in a review of the findings of the court. It was like a judge branding as guilty a man found innocant by a competent jury. It tele worse for poor Moller than a verdict of guilty would have been. 4 believe it sent him to his death. Three young women morgue late called at the last night and requested permission to see the body of Lieut Moller. They declined to give their names or addresses, They appeared deeply moved when shown the body and the younger one inquired for a ring which she said the Lieutenant had worn on his left hana. She was told that the ring was in the possession of the police. Before leaving the morgue the women made a number of inquiries in regard to the funeral and the inter- ment. Chaplain Smith of Fort Jay, Gov- ernor’s Island, said today that four years 480 & man servant of Moller shot himself in exactly the same way that Moller had done. In both cases the bullet, he said, entereg the right pthc ple and made its exit on the left side of the head. The Chaplain added that the Lieutenant thought a reat this servant. & deal of MOTHER AWAITING HIM GETS NEWS OF SUICIDE INSTEAD Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Fep. 24.—Lieut John J. Moller’s widoweq mother, who is at Monterey, is completely bowed with despair and grief, and can assign no reason for her son's sulcide. His friends and comrades at the Presidio, who were his classmates at West Point, are equal- ly unable to offer any solution of the affair. Moller was the oniy child and was amplY supplied with financial means. Mrs. Moller has been with her son ever since he was graduated from West Point June 15, 194 gne Was in the Philippines with him, and when the Eighth Infantry came back to the coast she went with the regiment to Monterey the handsomest in the post Moller was lively.

CAUGHT LOOTING CAR

Companion Fires on Railroad Watchman Whose Bullet Ends Boy’s Life.

As the guests at a dance in East St. Louis were waltzing the last number on the program at midnight Tuesday, a stranger appeared on the floor and asked for Mr. and Mrs. August Cha- brier of 1423 Boismenue avenue. “There they are,” said Frank Scheut- zenhoffer, the not pointing to a couple waltzing. The stranger touched Chabrier’s arm. The other daneers*paused, and the mu- sic stopped. “Your son has been shot and killed,”’ the man told Chabrier. ‘‘His body is at a morgue. I will take you there now, if you wish to go.”’ Mr. and Mrs. Chabrier drove from the dance at 2250 Kansas avenué to the Degen-Doussard undertaking rooms, where they identified the body of their son, Emil, 18 years old, who had been killed four hours earlier in a pistol bat- tle with two railroad watchmen in tee Illinois Central yards at Rush City, a negro settlement in East St. Louls. Emil had been invited to accompany his parents to the dance. He declined, explaining that he was to call on @ young woman. Night Watchmen Edward Smith and Joseph Smith were patrolling the Rush City yards at 8 p. m. when they saw two youths emerge from a bex car Ccar~- rying a heavy sack of flour. They shouted to the youths to halt. One drew a revolver and emptied it at the two watchmen, and fled, while the other stood still, holding the flour. The watchmen ran forward, Smith fir- ing his revolver. Chabrier, the youth with the flour sack, fell to the ground with a bullet through his abdomen, He tas dead when the watchmen reached *him. His companion, whoge name is not known, escaped. After Mr. and Mrs. Chabrier identified the body of their son, Night Watchman Smith surrendered to the police. He will be held pending the verdict at the inquest, which will be held late Wednes- day afternoon.

ae Brother Told Me

“A good name at home is a tower of strength abroad,” and the words of praise for our business, our methods and our advertising that have gone out from our home city have contributed largely to the success Hood’s Sarsaparilla is winning all over the world. Read the following letter from a lady in Maine: “Since I was cured of a dreadful abscess and its effects several years ago, I have never hesitated to rec- ommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla for impure blood, and as a general spring medicine. The abscess was on my side and it caused me terri- ble agony. At the same time sores broke out on my hands and arms, and the inflammation in my eyes was such that sometimes I could hardly see. I did not have any appetite, could hardly sleep, and was very nervous. s “One of our physicians failing to give me relief, I just about ve up hope, thinking I should suffer About Many other people in our city testify to the value of Hood’sSarsaparilla as a cure for all blood diseases, and the nervous, exhausted conditions that are large- ly due to depleted condition of the vital fluid, From Lowell “" as long as I lived. I was in this dreadful condition three years. When my brother came from Low: ell, Mass., to visit me he told me how much was thought of Hood’s Sarsaparilla in the city where it was made, and urged me to try it. So I did, and’ when I had taken two bottles, my nerves seemed very much quieted, I slept well, and my appetite was improved. The sores soon disappeared, and my eyes be- came much better. “Therefore I have taken it every spring since, and I do not think too much can be said in its praise. My health is now very godd, and I keep Hood’s Sarsaparilla jin the house all the time. If [| get tired and nervous I find Hood’s Sarsa- gre gives me strength so that can rest well, and feel refreshed in the morning, ready for my day’s work. To overcome the effects of the grip I have also found-it the very best medicine.” Mrs. James Irish, Stowe, Maine, Feb, 1, 1909.

Stamper of Moberly is president of the Association of Missouri Whole- sale Egg, Poultry and*Butter Dealers. “The poultry industry of Missouri is now one of its greatest sources of wealth and profit,’’ said Mr. Stamper. “Prices of poultry and eggs have. been high because of the scarcity of feed. Farmers did not feed their hens boun- tifully and of course the hens retali- ated by refusing to lay eggs. If there had been a little more reciprocity be- tween the farmers and the hen you city people would not have been compelled to pay such high prices for eggs. ‘The demand has always exceeded the supply. The egg and poultry business thrives in every part of the State, and many people are coining money out of the industry.’’ Eggs Cheaper in Chicago. While the Missouri wholesalers were assembling in St. Louis for their con- vention the Chicago Butter and Egg Board of Trade issued a statement de- claring that retailers are demanding ex- tortionate prices from the public. The statement says: ‘““The press com- mittee of the Chicago Butter and Egg Board of Trade wishes to announce to the public that the price of new laid fresh eggs has declined seven cents in a week, so that the consumer should buy the best eggs from retailers for 27 cents a dozen.”’ Many Chicago retailers, press dispatches, bought heavy of eggs before the slump, and are try- ing to hold up prices. President Brockman of the St. Louis Exchange told a Post-Dispatch report- er that the wholesalers are not inter- ested here in the retail price of eggs. Wholesalers Not Concerned, “After we sell the eggs we are not concerned what the retailer gets for them or does with them,’’ said Mr. Brockman. ‘“‘We do not intend to get ourselves entangled in the retailers’ af- fairs. We have enough to do to attend to our own business.”’ An executive session of the conven- tion will be held Wednesday afternoon. A banquet at $3 a plate will be given at the Planters Wednesday evening. Speeches at the convention and the banquet will be made by 8S. E. Murray of Sedalia, B. W. Redfearn of St. Louis, John L.

| REVISING THE STATUTES. ' Gov. Hadley’s recommendation that an experi @ appointed to work under the direction of the sing Committee of the Legislature should adopted, since experience has demonstrated a legislative committee cannot revise the ! satisfactorily without such assistance. | at is provided in the Constitution of 1875 that the end of each decennial period the statutes ‘gi compiled and codified, this compilation can be done easily within the term of 120 days, et The Revised Statutes of 1899 are a marvel of chwork and haphazard compilation. There is pote or system in the two big volumes, the ment is without plan or rationality and index is pretty much everything that an in- MY jox should ae be. Lawyers are perplexed. and attied of the work Ce cea ee ade : Ly ae TS Oe em Po nS _ \ ee f 4 ee ae O° SA ee 9 ; With the exception of a law providing for a substantial tax on inheritances which is in ac- cord with sound public policy, the State Legis- lature should create no additional taxes. It ‘should refrain from placing unnecessary tax bur- dens on legitimate business interests, on mercan- tile and manufacturing corporations which con- duct the industria) and commercial activities of the State. There is no need of additional tax laws beyond the inheritance tax. The present laws, if en- forced, would provide the revenue required by the State. All that is necessary is the equalizing of taxation throughout the State bv the Board of Equalization in accordance with the laws now in the statute books. Under the law the Equalization Board, which met today, is directed to “equalize the valuation of the real and personal propery among the several counties of the State.” This equalization should be done by raising the valua- tion of under-valued property and reducing the valuation of over-valued property. It is notorious that the valuation of the prop- erty in many counties is ridiculously low. Outside of St. Louis the valuation for assessment ranges from 20 to 50 per cent. The average is 39 per Some counties almost evade State tax bur- If taxes were as the law cent. dens by low ass@sment valuation. raised to the cash value of property, expressly says it shajl be, and made uniform throughout the State, there would be no lack of revenue. On the contrary, the tax rate might be reduced. Justice would prevail in taxation. Nothing but political cowardice prevents the equalizing of taxation. The Boafd of Equaliza- tion wants to avoid the hostility of the country taxpayers who are now evading their fair share of taxes. Every Board has dodged this duty and the proposal of Gov. Hadley to tax corporations indicates that he and his associates, the Secre- tary of State, Auditor, Treasurer and Attorney- General, are preparing to dodge it. The present system of taxation is bad. It ought to be reformed, but its injustices should be diminished, not emphasized by makeshift tax levies on the handiest objects. The corporation is an easy mark. The people of the rural] districts are willing that the reve- nue burdens of the State shall be unloaded on the cities where the greater corporations do busi- ness. Let the cities pay the taxes is the slogan. But there is a double injustice in this proposed corporation tax, because the heaviest burden will be borne by St. Louis, which now pays 40 per cent of the State revenue. About 75 per cent of all the corporate values in the State are located in St. Louis. Not only is St. Louis overtaxed, but the corporations here bear their share of the burden. They now pay in addition to’ taxes on their real property and stock a special license tax on their sales. The mercantile and manufacturing corporations of the cities and towns are essential to the pros- perous activities of the State. They develop its resources and increase its wealth. They promote the prosperity of all the people of the State. They ought not to be driven from the State or dis- couraged and hampered by excessive taxation. They ought not to have unnecessary thrown upon them to meet revenue deficiencies caused by the evasion of their legal duty on the part of State authorities for the purpose of mak- burdens ing political capital. Le, did we |S The work of revising the City Charter should be far removed from the hand of the political boas. But in the list of Republican charter revisers the name of Boss Howe leads all the rest. The Republican local boss might have spared us this extreme exercise of his power. lla, ils i re THE RALLYING POINT. : The point Rev. J. B. Toomay of the Fountain Park Congregational Church makes through the Post-Dispatch in behalf of ministers whose pay means only a bare living, is of radical impor- tance. He shows that as the price of living goes up the bare living is cut down. As this is necessarily true in*the case of all people whose pay was only a bare living several years ago, such results can- not be forced systematically without robbing them of a bare living: If this is beirig done, the religious remedy is to rally to the support of the Ten Commandments, especially of the command- ment, “Thou shalt not steal.” On this point O. P. Austin, Chief of the Fed- eral Bureau of Statistics, reports that the . Fed- eral Government is now spending yearly $6.59 for every $4.47 spent eight years ago. This ia- crease of $2.12 on every $4.47 is an increasé of nearly -$50 in every hundred. Multiplied by a hundred million, it stands for the amouny taken every year from millions of people whose living is bare at the.best as that of underpaid minis- ters of the gospels who are forced to live “from: hand to mouth.” . This money, more than $200,000,000 a year in- crease over the amount taken ight years ago, is taken by government force. When it is taken for waste in jingo bravado and extravagance, in Promoting barbarism through increasing the threat of force in this country and the world, more forces must rally on the Decalogue ard give the strongest support to the commandment which is being most weakened.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The arrangement of the new seats in the Grand avenue ball park seems to have been for the ex- Clusive benefit of those patrons who are prosperous enough to purchase places in the grandstand. The condition of the enthusiastic but ineffectual ‘‘root- er’. who must, perforce, occupy a seat in the dis- tant bleacher or pavilion cannot be other than dis- tressing, unless the management equips him with field glasses and a megaphone. Indeed, this very thing might be developed as a side line like the vend- ing of soda water and peanuts and as a probable source of revenue, shou!d commend itself to the com- mercial astuteness of the gentlemen in charge of the baseball ‘‘business’’ at that park. R. “Sufferer” Co Be Helped. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your paper this evening appears a letter of ap- peal by a person signing himself’ (or herself) “Suf- ferer.”” I can hardly conceive of a case in which a true physician would not gladly give his services gratuitously, when the patient is worthy and in need of charity. Perhaps “Sufferer’’ has become preju- diced toward the physicians who examined him, sim- ply because they asked a fee, without being aware of the fact that he needed charity. Letters of this Character give the general public an idea that we physicians have nothing else in view but the ‘‘al- mighty doliar,’" which is not the case. If, as is to be inferred from ‘‘Sufferer’s” letter, hé is suffering from tuberculosis and will take the trouble to notify Mr. Robert Newton, secretary of the St. Louis So- ciety for the Relief and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 625 Locust street, city, I am confident his case will be attended to and a physician sent to him. WILLIAM F. H. GROTE, Hard On Legatees. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Knowing that your highly esteemed paper is al- ways willing to protect the interests of the widows and orphans, I ask you to kindly investigate a new measure introduced in the Missouri! State Legisla- ture, being House Bill No. 570, by Foristel, ‘“‘An act to authorize executors and administrators to pay the cost of furnishing bonds out of the assets of the estates administered by them.’’ The present fee of 6 per cent allowed and all lawyer and court costs paid out of the estate is now a very large amount against estate without increasing it with other charges. The books of the Probate courts in the State will show large payments of costs against the estates. Should any executor or administrator fee! that he cannot afford to pay the bonding fee, his sim- ple remedy is for the non-acceptance. FOR FAIRNESS TO WIDOWS AND ORPHANS. Mannerless Milliners-Models.

M. D. Ingersoll on Whisky. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. If ‘‘D. P.,’’ who recently expressed himself in Peo- ple’s Column, will take the trouble to hunt up Col. Ingersoll’s record on the liquor question, he wil! find that the great agnostic was not what he tried to represent himself as being. He did write an elo- quent and poetic tribute to whisky for the purpose of cheering a sick friend for whom it had been pre- scribed by a physician. “D. P.”’ is not original in his imputation. Long ago Dr. Buckley made practically the same charge, to whom the Colonel rejoined: “There are some people so constituted that there ig no room in the heaven of their minds for the but- terflies and moths of fancy to spread thelr wings. Everything is taken in solemn and stupid earnest.” This applies to “D. P."’ as well as to Dr. Buckley. Col. Ingersol!l’s position on the liquor question as expressed by himself is as follows: ‘‘No man in the world is more opposed to intemperance than I am. No man in the world feels more keenly the evils and thé agony produced by the crime of drunk- enness. And yet I would not be willing to sacrifice liberty, individuality, and the glory and greatness of individual freedom, to do away with all the evils intemperance."’ This honest and manly state- ment was printed in the New York World, Oct. 21, 1888. It will be found in the Dresden edition of Col. Ingersoll’'s Works, volume eight, page 411. F. D. Fairoaks, Cal. Those Three Dry Days.

JUVENILE COURTS.

Need of Their Extension to All Parts of the State in Accordance With the Provisions of a Pend- ing Statute. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The organization of children’s courts which has made such rapid progress in this country, has extended to Euro- pean countries. England nas just passed a bill providing for children’s courts, and Austria, Germany, France and Italy are “adapting the New York juvenile court laws to their own localities.” What are we accomplishing here in Missouri? It was the desire of the pro- moters of the original 8t. Louis juvenile court law, passed in 1903, to procure the passage of a law applying to the entire State, but Ut was finally deemed wiser to confine its operation to one or two cities, with the purpose of gradual ex- tension. At the end of six years the children of three countie% only have the benefit of its wise and merciful pro- visions. Outside of these counties the same conditions exist that before 1903 prevailed in St. Louis. Let us see what were these. Children arrested for the violation of a city ordinance were, a8 we are aware. tried the following day with the dregs of the city’s adult population in one of the three ‘police courts, In such cases there was at least no delay between the commission of the offense and its pun- ishment. Children accused of the vio- lation of a State law were locked up in the holdover, in the basement of the Four Courts Building, there to await a preliminary hearing tn the Court of Criminal Correction. When the day of trial was set they were placed in the jail, there to remain until they should appear in court. A record of the cases of children under 16 years of age, tried in the Court of Criminal Correction dur- ing a period of nine months In 1900-1901, shows that they remained fn jail await- ing trial from one to two weeks. [If held for the grand jury this confinement sometimes continued three or four months. A Judge of our Juvenile Court who carefully considers each individual case would be surprised at the curious uni- formity of sentence under the old re- gime. If the child was adjudged gullty the penalty Was occasionally payment of costs, but usually a fine of from $10 to $0. The fine was never paid, and in default thereof the child was sent to the House of Refuge. These conditions, with some variations, still ewist in all but three counties of the State, and the small and crowded county jails in which children are con- fined both before and after trial, are worse than our large city jail. The in- discriminate association in our county jails makes them veritable schools of crime. Simple justice then, requires that all the children of the State share the fadvantages Of our juvenile court sys- tem, which should be extended as rap- idiy as possible, making use of existing courts in counties of smaller popula- tion. A bill now before the Forty-fifth Gen- eral Assembly provides for the establish- ment of juvenile courts in counties con-' taining 59,000 inhabitants and over. It applies to all citles in the State of con- giderable size. The duty of our legisla- tors at the present moment is to pass this bill with a pledge of further ac- tion in the future. ' MRS. HENRY W.

SOMETHING FOR SHERMAN. ERHAPS you have noticed that Sherman— No doubt, it’s a fate he’s been dreading— Is about to loom up on inaugural day As a bridegroom appears at a wedding. To judge by his share in the program From the oath to the subsequent frolic, He’d never be missed if he happened to be Confined to his room with the colic. It’s Taft to the end of the chapter, And never the slightest allusion To anyone else being in on the day, So absolute is his exclusion. It's Taft in the rate advertisements, It’s Taft will review the procession, And it’s Taft that the ladies will dance with In strict diplomatic progression. This being the case, what’s the matter With persons whose face decoration Is like that of Sherman arranging A sperial sideburn demonstration And having their own big procession, Their inauguration and german, And saving some part of the glory To that style of whiskers and Sherman? Indeed, all the spats and Dundrearies, The mudguards, side curtains and trailers Would likely do better th With the diplomats, soldiers and sailors! an holding their own \ /And it’s not at all certain that Sherman Would not so far shine by invention That the fat men would have to combine to the end That Taft got his share of attention!

SNAKE-BITE. The Kansas Legislature has concluded that snake-bite has no medicinal vir- tue. and the Kenses druggists of the Sunflower State ate forbidden by a new act to sell it, Thus the celebrated little ditty, Hush, little barroom, Don't you cry You'll, be @ drug store By and by, np longer applies in Kansas. Prohibi- tion is absolute, and if you live in Kan- sar and want a a@rink, you will have to meet the train and take it off prepaid on the side opposite the depot. Snake-bite received its death blow about a year 480. When the Govern- ment sent af expert to Arizona to sift the traditional ¢leim for it. Mixing freely ‘ with fattlesnakes and persons bitten by them, he readily ascertained that snake-bite pot only does not save the person bitten, but generally kills him.

The Hon. Elihu Root did not avail himself of the recent railroad agreement to give all through passengers a 24-hour stop-over in St. Louis. He was afraid the bad breathing bere would undo all that the hot springs of Arkansas heve done for him, and caught the front end of the first train out. We do not believe that any doctor Mr. Root would consult advised this haste. Science does not justify it. Chicago's anti-smoke commission insists that Chi- cago is the smokiest city in the coun- try, and someone who went to Pitts- burg said his first impression was that the population was all colored. So that whatever is true of the St. Louis breath- | ing is equally true of that of Chicago and Pittsburg. No thinking person cares |; to say that the smoke of either of these cities has had a serious pathological ef- fect upon the dwellers within them.

“By God, mates, there’s one of ‘em, anyhow!" roared a voice, hoarse from exploding excitement. But I was al- ready upon my knees, feeling blindly into the ice cavity.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. Jack Stephens, an American seaman, be- comes involved in a bootless revolution in Chile and flies to Valparaiso. While wait- ing for some means of escaping from the city he saves Lady Darlington from the un- welcome attentions of a drunken Chilean naval officer, Sanchez. Later, Stephens is begulled into aiding a gang of pirates, head- ed by Capt. Eli Tuttle, leading in_ the seizure of the Sea Queen, Lord Darlington's yacht, under the belief that it is the Chilean converted yacht Esmeralda. When at sea he finds Lady Darlington (Doris) and her maid Celeste are on board. He also finds he is only nominally the captain, as Tuttle is ignorant of steam navigation and that their oot is long. 110 degrees 30 minutes west, lat. 66 degrees 17 minutes south. They _ are going | in search of a treasure ship, the Donna Isa- bel, frozen in the Antarctic ice in 1753. Tuttle sees a ghost and kills himself. Stephens also sees the host and undertakes to lay.it. He finds that tne engineer, McKnight, has been playing ghost. ‘They reach the point in the Antaretic where the Donna Isabel was sald to be.- The Sea Queen strikes an iceberg and sinks with part of her crew. Stephens and Lady Darlington are among those who put off in the longboat. They come upon the Donna Isabel. which, after imprisonment in the ice 126 years, is afloat. They board her and find the frozen bodies of her crew with the log which tells of successive deaths. (Copyright, 1908, by A. C. McClurg & Co.) CHAPTER XXIX. In Which We Survive a Storm.

It is only what must come to us. Either today or tomorrow will be the end at our struggle. You know, fully as wellas I, how perfectly helpless our position is. This miserable wreck yields temporary shelter, but‘ nothing more. We can no more hope to sail it across those leagues than we could the lengboat. I have no thought of rescue; if I had I could never have confessed I loved you—could never have permitted those about us even to guess the truth.” I turned her face toward me, forget- ful of the storm in the bitter sting of these words. “Do you truly mean all that, Doris? Do you mean that if, by somie wondrous miracle of God's mercy, we are finally preserved, you would leave me? Would crucify your love for a conventionality of society? Would blot out from your heart all remembrance of what has al- ready occurred between us during these days of danger?’ “Wo, I would not blot it out; that would be impossible. It would remain, the sweetest memory of life; but—but I would do what I hold to be right; ELI would go back to my husband, un- stained even by your touch.” *‘Doris!”’ “Yes; I know all you would say.

I often think of that scene—the rough, hairy faces, the ex- cited voices, the evidences of nervous expectancy; some sitting on benches, others lounging upon the deck in true democratic equality, with Lady Darling- ton and Celeste hovering just beyond our ring, their background the gleam- ing armrack, their faces exhibiting their interest in our wild sea yarns. Now and then I lifted my eyes, meeting Doris’ questioning glance, and assured that I understood her mood.

BROWNS HELD IN CHECK BY A WET ) TRAIN INGCAMP A Ae tp rs 7 “McAleer Has Letter From Heidrick Which Practically Assures Re- turn of Star Outtielder.

BY JOHN E. WRAY, Sporting Editor Post-Dispatch. Ind., Feb. 24. cross-country FRENCH LICK, morning work by the Browns. The rain with the exception of a brief period of sunshine fell throughout Tuesday and was still falling when the players retired. Today’s work will probably be largely confined to the gymnasium. S ‘wore roads and ficlds again prevented early ' Waddell, stated last night that he weighed 196 pounds. The day before he an- - nounced that 208 pounds was what he had to worry along with, Whether the acales varied or the weigher was jollying ‘ George Edward, however, is now at . the lighter figure and is surely in ex- Xe ' cellent shape for this season of the year. Mrs. McAleer joined her husband at the Springs last night. None of the other , recruits have arrived but Manager Mc- _ Aleer is in receipt of a letter in which Heidrick says he will sell out his busi- ness and return to baseball. He will join the, squad here later on. McAleer is positive he can gnake Held- \ ick a winner once more. Heidrick is just a young man and the years he has | been out will not matter. He will ‘ strengthen our outfield greatly. The re- ‘turn of .ieidrick wil give McAleer a : superfluity of outfielders. As Hartzel, ‘Jones, Hoffman and McAleese will be i Jeft to compete for the substitute out- ‘ fielders’ jobs. Lucullus, considered the champion “egg and eel eater of ancient Rome and " yenowned as one of the foremost gas- by ¢ ; —e.. never have tronomic athletes of any era, wquld been able * to ‘“make’ the Browns’ baseball team. ' Even an ordinary college nine’s train- jing curriculum would have proved in- : gupportable. To judge from the dietary : languish now being undergone by the “vets’’ here, ‘Luke,’ after a day’s } trial, wolud have mortgaged the club’s ~ {fen on the 1909 pennant for a plate of - . on ‘Jampwicks (or was it Lampreys) in ‘cream, or other epicurean morsel. Now, itis not to be surmised that Man- ager James McAleer is feeding his men skittles, minus the beer, for the

‘Rube,”’ has not been discovered. sake of conditioning his men. The fact the baseball players now at French ge their own reduction plants engineering tactics best themselves. Their self- abnegation is heroic, but hard on the stoMach; and that is why Lucullus would probably be shipped back to the minors before the spring trip had ended. For instance, there is John Powell. Red John is good to look upon, though still something of the Percheron in breadth of beam. Last year John lost 14 pounds somewhere on the road be- tween French Lick and Lost River, in a space of less than two weeks. He Is out to beat this record, and to do it he eats toast, eggs and tea for break- fast; consumes three glasses of Pluto water and six miles of road for lunch— a martyrdom unrelieved by even a look- in at the dining room; and for supper has a soup, a meat and a vegetable. Besides, he ‘plays handball, boxes, works the weights and then is kneaded into submission by rrof. Wolfe. Just to show he’s not afraid of the stunt, Manager McAleer’s diet and work is about the same. All of the men have put themselves on a severe regimen ex- cert Rube Waddell and Hobe Ferris. Rube’s tremendous furnace needs con- stant firing; while Ferris’ nervous tem- perament and constant activity also consume plenty of fuel. The training is really severe and will no doubt bear fruit when the men be- gin active work at Houston later. is, Lich Mana acording to known to “McAleer Still Grieving Because Heidrick Has Not Reported ANAGER McALEER is grieving‘ greatly over, the failure of Em- mett Heidrick to put in appear- ance or to reply to communications. “I am confident Emmett could make good if he set his heart on getting ‘nto form. He has his eye with him stil! =—he showed that when he joined the club last yeaf, and for a week slammed ‘the ball like Hans Wagner. Then he stif- fened and lost his speed and never -Peached physical condition during the season. “If he would report here and go through the spring training stunt at ‘Houston, I am sure he would fill that hole in the outfield to perfectiof,” But would he? Dear James, history fs distended with instances of gentlemen ee who left the beaten path and were nev- er able to work their way back again, “Vielet” Heidrick quit the gare after World's Fair year—and the absence is an awfully long one. Age, and worse still rust have settled on his baseball facul- ties. It may be that he had his ‘‘bat- ting eye” with him, when he joined the club last season in the thick of the fight for the pennant. But, as one who Knows saw his reappearance with the Browns at Philadelphia, Washington, - New York and Boston, his hitting suc- @ess seemer due chiefly to ignorance of his batting weak points, on the part of opposing catchers and pitchers. As

goon as Heidrick was solved he clat- tered down the percentage ladder and wound up with very poor figures. - Heidrick, too, had lost his fleetness of “foot and some of his outfield judgment; ‘@itogether he displayed what one would ing. Doubtless work would Heidrick, but can practice turn x those four or five years Father Tine has slipped over? Can practice at the common-place tension of mere household affairs? Highly improbable, Jeems. . That venerated, if battered bastion of baseball, Capt. Anson, gives the laugh to us scoffers at the ravages of time and their effect on baseball players. Anson saw McAleer at the Chicago meeting recently and after making the frame of the Browns’ manager crack with a friendly, Gargantuan pat on the back, asked after his health. ‘I’m getting old, Cap,”’ responded Mc- Aleer. “Old! Why, I don’t understand why you don’t step in and fill up that outfield gap you're harping about with your own carcass. You’re how old? Forty-four, eh? Well, I was playing ball at 49; bat- ting 300, too.’’ “You're the exception, Cap. on the ball field.” .“Bosh,’’ said Anson. ‘‘There is no rea- son in the world why a temperate, good living man of sound physique shouldn't play good baseball vears longer than he does. ‘ There are plenty of Youngs and Kid Gleasons still at work, if you take the trouble to look about. A _ baseball player should see 20 years es service in a big league."’ And if he does, good: old warhorse, how salaries will come down, or more leagues be built up to take care of the surplus stars. Evidently Anson’s words made an im- pression on McAleer. Carrving.a team almost entirely made up of veterans, his friends have been worrving him with their beliefs that he would do well to reinforce his team with young:¥ers, SO as to be ready for the collapse of the old ones. Now Jeems can’t help chuck- ling as he figures what a 20-year base- ball life to all the stars of his club would mean. Mean! It would mean pennant hopes for years to come. Dream on; at least the showdown is not coming this year. I’'rn all fn

PHILLIES NOW OWNED BY PENN, STATESMEN PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—The North American of this morning prints the fol- lowing: “Today at noon the Philadelphia Na- tional League club will pass into the ownership and control of Contractor James P. McNichol, banker Clarence Wolf an@ Israe] w. Durham, all State senators. “All indications point to the retire- ment of William J.

manager ol believes greatest Jimmy McAleer, the St. Louis Browns, Emmett Heidrick the outfielder in the game of base- ball, when in condition. He de- clares Ty Cobb or Sam Crawford or Fred Clark never was able and never will be able to-play the game as Heidrick could four years ago. Now McAleer wants to get this man Heidrick in condition and believes it is possible, though hardly probable, that he will ae- quire his speed and daring of former days, when he was the

sensation of the game. McAleer has been thinking of a scheme all winter to get Heidrick in con- dition. He was slow and sluggish in the games he played with the Browns last year, but had no ehanee to train beforehand. He is expected to go South with the Browns this spring, and McAleer says he is willing to spend a thousand dollars if necessary just in trying to get Emmett back to his old-time form. He hasn’t reported at French Lick Springs with the club, but is expected to join the squad next week.
