Hadley received a telegram from Congressman Caulfield in) Washington, stating that under no circumstances could he accept the appointment. Congressman Caulfield was not recom- mended by any politician. He was Gov. Hadley’s own choice for the place, and the appointment tendered was for a ‘period of four years*beginning April J. In declining the appeintment C'on- gressman Caulfield thanked Gov. Had- dey and said ‘he regretted that his deter- ‘tmination to continue the practice of law Would prevent him from accepting it.

Gerhart and President O’Rellly clasped hands fraternally Thursday morning, after the Board of Public Improvements announced its ap- proval of plans for a double deck free bridge, with the west approach north of Chouteau avenue. ‘The battle is won,” exclaimed Ger- hart as he heard the Board's decision. And he made for O'Reilly and shook his hand fervently. “‘The line you have chosen is the one of least resistance.”’ he said, referring to the bridge approach, and O'Reilly beamed assent. The board directed Alfred P. Boller of the firm of Boller & Hodge, engineers of the bridge, to prepare plans for a double- decke bridge, with a wagon approach landing at Seventh street and erossing Broadw with a clearance of 40 feet, and with railroad approaches leading north, south and west. South Broadway merchants, who have been protesting against’ having the bridge approach’ cross their street at all, were not represented at Thursday's meeting of the board. Bridge 54 Feet Wide. The bridge is-to be 64 feet wide, and its center line will leave the river at a point 325 feet north of Chouteau avenue, and will land on Seventh, 250 feet north of Chouteau.avenue and 50 feet north of Papin street.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 25.—The Hove of Representatives today took the ‘first and a very important step towards putting an end to the payment of money either for salaries or expenses, to mem- bers of any commission, council board, or similar jury appointed by the Presi- dent when not specifically authorized by law so to do. The prohibition was in the shape of a sweeping amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill offered by Mr. Tawney (Minnesota) and which was adopted under a suspension of the rules. This action is another slap at Prest- dent Roosevelt who has appointed many such commissions unauthorized by law. Among these are the Inland Water- ways Commission, the Farm Commis- sion ,and the Art Commission. Mr. Tawney was somewhat caustic in his criticism of the practice, which herc- tofore has prevailed. Recently, he said, a cartload of answers to questions put by the ‘“‘uplift’’ received at the Census Bureau for tab- ulation. -He charged that had the commission and said that the re- port. of that commission should — never have been: prifted. All such work, he declared; was without authority of law. DOCTOR DIES ABSORBED IN CASE HOUSTON, Tex., ” Feb. “5. —Dr. WwW. A.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 25.—Angels wear clothes—trousers if they’re mascu- line and skirts if they’re otherwise. The wings and flowing draperies we see in the picture books are simply ‘‘poetic li- cense,’’ because an angel wouldn’t look anselic in everyday costume. he Progressive Spiritualists of Mis- sOuri, in session ere, say so. They have seen the angels—‘‘sensed’’ them is the word they used—and found them all dressed up. “A lack of education. leads lots of peop,.q to believe things that aren't true about the life hereafter,”’ explained the Rev. Thomas Grimshaw of St. Louis to a reporter. “In all my.life .I or any other kind never saw an angel of spirit dressed in beautiful draperies such as we see in the pictures. And as for wings—well, they're as probable tm the after life as they are here on earth. Astral Collars and Buttons. “It would be as embarrassing to go without trousers in the spirit world as it would be.to appear without them in the flesh. “As’a matter of fact, angels don't roam about in trousers and while away eternity by playing on a hé@rp.. They Wear astral clothing—garments like they wore on earth. If, as a spirit. you wear an astral collar, you button it. with an astral collar button.” Mr. Grimshaw declarea that the popu- lar idea that’ a «medium can. get into touch with any spirit whenever the medium wishes to do go is a fallacy. Spirits don’t answer whenever they’te called, aS a general thing. When a spir- id bas anything to Say it hunts up @ medium and says it, If jy hasn't any- thing to sS&@y, all the Jiums in the world, pulling together. couldn’t drag word out of it. Other spiritualists attending the ¢con- vention support Mr. G:imshaw’s theory that the ange! life isn’t a mere matter of wearing wings ang playing a harp. Humans who look forward to apes one spiritualist calls “flowery, beds of ease” in the hereafter will be p- pointed, they say.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %.—In about a week the magnificent American battle- ship fleet néw at’ Hampton Roads, will be broken up, each ship going to a navy. vard for at least an overhauling. The Illinois, Kentucky and Kearsarge will be sent for much more extensive work than that. They will be general- ly. overhauled and have new boltlers placed in tyem. Admiral Sperry has been ordered here for consultation with . Secretary ‘New- berry..and President Roosevelt. He will be here on Saturday. It is probable that the President's navy reorganiza- tion board will aiso be in session here on the same day, and that the Admiral will. be asked ,to advise the members of it,- bringing his experience as the only man who has ever commanded a battleship fleet now on the active list, to bear upon the recommendations! made by the reorganization cemmis- sion. The disbanded fleet will reassemble about the middie of May and go to the West Indies ter the spring maneuvers and target practice. The places of the lilinois,’ Kentucky and Kearsarge will be taken by the Idaho, Mississippi and Montana, the battleships of Admiral Ar- nold's ‘welcoming squadpon, otherwise designated as the third squadron of the Atlantic battleship fleet.

Thomson, Graves and Ander- son Are Not Essential to Plans of the Boss.

‘ Alarmed by popular outcry against his slate, Jeptha D. Howe, the Republican boss, has sent out an emergency call to an invisible committee of 30 “prominent citizens” to ‘aid him in revising it. Mr. Howe now attempts to shift the blame for the slate on the “prominent citi- zens,”’ whase identity he is not ready to. disclose.

SWINDLERS KEPT BOOKS AND RECORD OF ALL VICTIMS Name of Princeton (Mo.) Banker Found After Arrest in Little Rock.

POSED. AS RICH MEN

“Fixed” Footrace, Wrestling Match or Prizefight Used to Defraud.

. Speeial to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 25.—J. M. Ballew, a Princeton, Mo., banker, who was swindled out of $30,000 on a fake horse race, and T. C. Cavanaugh, .a New Orleans lumberman, who lost $37,- 000 on a fake wrestling match, are aid- ing the postal authosities in prosecuting the leaders of an alleged swindle syn- dicate under arrest here for using the mails to defraud, The authorities also plan to get other witnesses dut of the lists of names of victims kept by the accused men. Their system of bookkeeping was elaborate ag if they were conducting a legitimate business. In addition to ledgers and journals, they had an envelope file with an en- velepe for each victim. Ig this. was kept his name, address and an account of the particular scheme or game by which his money was obtained. All these records were found in a trunk belonging to J. C. Maybray, be- lieved to be the leader of the swindle. These papers show that the get-rich- quick men had their jokes on the vic- tims. Every man who lost to them was called ‘“‘Mike.”’ In the books appear “Mike” of St. Louis,” “Mike of New Orleans,” and ‘‘Mike of Chicago.’ Employed 250 Men. The leaders also kept a record of their employes... The postal inspectors believe the gang employed about 360 men. They were recorded in the books by .numbers and such minutes as ‘No. 65 ‘got $500 from Mike of Cleveland,”’ are~frequent. The employes were scattered all over the country as ‘‘steerers’’ and reported to the main office of the band which was a luxuriously fitted suite of rooms now in one city now in another. These offices were supposed to be the business places of rich lumber or land or mine promoters. Prospective victims were also first approached by the “‘steer- ers’’ with offers of opportunities to in- vest in rich business schemes, The victim's business sense was thus vinced of the excellence of the oppor- tunity offered he was induced to visit the main offices of the company. There he was entertained and in the course of the entertainment a “‘secretary’’-to one of the firm members “tipped off” the “‘good thing” in the way of a horse- race or wrestling bout that he knew about. 2 The guest was invited to come in and make a winning. The “secretary” of- fered to place/his money. The race al- ways went the other way and the guest lost. Agents Worked on Commission, The paid field agents known technical- ly as ‘‘steerers,’’ were.not of salary, but received 50 per cent of the proceeds. after their “clients” were turned over to the chief operators. The lowly foot racers, wrestlers, prizefigWters and the like, who did thé actual work of sepa- rating man from money, were given only 15 per cent. Postal inspectors and secret service men ha® trailed a band of fake horse race and wrestling match promoters over the country for months, thwarted in their efforts constantly by the unwill- ingness of victims to expose their gulli- bility. Not until Cavanaugh, a Louis- jana lumber dealer, lost $37,000 on a fake wrestling match and laid his case before the Sheriff did the officers get a clew which enabled them to make ar- rests. Two Women With Prisoners, On Cavanaugh’'s statement, J. C. Ma- bray, F. M. Clarke and I. J. Warner were arrested in a Pulaski Heights home Tuesday, charged with using the mails to defraud. George Ryan was caught in Hot Springs, and two women, who said they were the wives of two of the prisoners, are also held. After these arrests Ballew came here from Princeton, Mo., and said he had lost. a large sum on a fake horserace in Council Bluffs, Io. Ballew has been on the trail of his swindlers for more than a month. The pursuit led him first to New York and there on Feb. 6 he had John Dobbins and his wife arrested for cheating him a ee

“—_—- -— out of $30,000 on a fake horserace. The scheme by which friénds were swindled was simple in the extreme. They were told of a sure thing at the Council Bluffs racetrack. They bet heavily on the horse and all the stakes were placed in the hands of | a man who owed Ballew $200. While the race was in progress the jockey rid- ing the mount on which the Princeton plunger had staked the money fell off the horse with apparent hemorrhage. The judges decided that the race should be called a dead heat. Ballew and his friends then agreed that the race’ would be run @ month later at Springfiela, Mo. This was agreed to by all parties, and the stake money was left in the hands of the stakeholder. When the date fer the and his second race arrivea Ballew friends went to Springfield, but there was no trace of the stakeholder, horses or the man who bet the money against Ballew.

The swindle, as it is deseribed by in- spectors, parallels the operations of i!e famous “Buckfoot Gang,” which made its headquarters in Webb City, Mo., sex- eral years ago, and in a few years ob- tained more than $1,000,000. , The gang had agents in many parts of the Country, and by inducing men-to go to Webb City with large amounts of money, With a ylew to _ invest- ments in stock and real estate, then !n- duced them to bet ‘the money on foot- races.

BUYERS’ PROBLEMS DISCUSSED . BY POULTRYMEN AT PLANTERS -—_—_- re Dealers Will Lay Aside Business - to Take a Flying Sight- Seeing Trip. The poultry dealers in convention at the Planters Hotel roosted late. Thurs- day morning on account of the dense smoke that hung over St. Louis like a pall, but all managed to be present when the session opened at 10 a. m., with John L. Van Neste of New York as the speaker. Mr. Van Neste, who. is feathering his own nest by robbing the hen’s nests, discussed the buyers’ prob- lems. ‘The Future of Missouri as a Butter State’’ was the subject of a talk by E. A. Wilkinson of Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Wil- kinson is not a relative of William J. Pryan, but Lincoln people have formed a habit of visiting Missouri and talk- ing about her greatness. H. A. Emerson of Chicago spoke on ‘Branch Houses and Buying Stations” and George F. Hinrichs of New York told all he knew about ‘Uniform Grad- ing.”’ ‘The Receiver at the East” was the topic assigned to Harry Dowie of New York. The poultry dealers will make a tour of the city in the afternoon in sight-seeing cars.

ee eee HIT THE SPOT Postum Knocked Out Coffee Ails.

There’s a good deal of satisfaction and comfort in hitting upon the right thing to rid one of the varied and con- stant ailments: caused by coffee drink- ing. “Ever since I can remember,” writes an Ind. woman, “my father has been a lover of his coffee, but the continued use of it so affected his stomach that he could scarcely eat at times. “Mother had coffee-headache and diz- ziness, and if I drank coffee for break- fast I could taste it all day and usual- ly go to bed with a headache. “One day father brought home a pkg. of Postum re¢commended by our grocer. Mother made it according to directions on the box and it just ‘hit the spot.’ [t has a dark geal-brown eolor, chang- ing to golden brown when cream is added, and a snappy taste similar to mild, high-grade coffee, and we found that its continued use speedily put an end to all our coffee ills. “That was at least ten years ago and Postum has, from that day to this, been a standing order of father’s gro- cery bill. “When I married, my husband was a gpa coffee drinker, altho he admit- te that it hurt him. When I men- tioned Postum he said he did not like the taste of it. I told him TI’ could make it taste all right. He smiled and said, try it. The result was a success; he won't have anything but Postum.” “There’s a Reason.” — Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Well- ville,” in pkgs.

MARCH POETICAL NOTE TELLS WY ENDED HS LF Unidentified Man Tired of Weary Struggle for Necessaries. Unable to find work in St. Louis a man who has not been identified com- mitted suicide by asphyxiating himself with illuminating gas at the rooming house of Mrs. Missouri Haynes at 1724 Olive street, Thursday. He was with- out money and apparently spent his last cent for a rubber tube, through which he inhaled the gas. He destroyec all evidence of his identity before in- haling the gas. One end of the tube was dttached to a wall bracket and tite other was in his mouth when he was found dead in bed. To make sure that the tube would not slip he had tied it to the head of the bed with twine. On a washstand he left this note: “T have decided to quit this transi- tory scene because I am just weary of the struggle for the necessaries of life. I beg indulgence of all who will in- convenienced be as a result of my act. “Tho’ poor he was, with Kings he trod; Tho’ great, he humbiy knelt to God.” The note was printed with a lead pen- cil, Apparently the man was 40 years old. His face was smooth-shaven, his hair MAght brown, and he was slightly bald. The contents of his suitcase gave no clew to his identity. On his shirts was a laundry mark, which was either Y 150 or N 160. In the lapel of his coat was an Odd Fellow's button. Mrs. Haynes says he engaged the room ten days ago, paying a week's rent in advance. After his second week’s rent fell due Tuesday, he avoided the land- lady, leaving early in the morning and slipping into the house at night. Ambulance Surgeon Weiss said he had been dead four hours when he was found after the door of his room had been forced. BAKED BEANS AND BOXING BOUTS BATTERY A BAIT FOR RECRUITS In Effort to Increase Roster, Artil- lerymen Will Entertain Saturday Night. To show prospective recruits what a good time they will have when they be- come recruits, the members of Battery A will entertain at their armory, Grand and Rutger, Saturday nicht, with a pro- gram consisting of boxing bouts, fenc- ing matches, swords contests, revolver shooting, riding exhibitions and baked beans. Hard drinks and hardtack will be barred. Coffee, soda water and the like will be served with the beans. The mess call will sound at 9 p. m., and anybody with or without a formal invitation can battle with the beans. Afterwards will come the other wrestling matches. The entertainment is the result of an order from the War Department to in- crease the roster of Battery A to 135, or more, by March 17. The present roster is %. The officers would like to re- cruit up to about 180, and believe they will be able to do it if the public will accept their invitation to call around Saturday night.

What Color Can I Wearf If you are a perfect blonde you can wear any color, but if you are not— there’s. the question, and a very grave question, too, and one you will be ask- ing yourself when, you begin to plan your Easter dress and hat. Suppose you are a bit sallow and your hair ‘s just turning gray, don’t you want to wear the color that will make you look your best? Mary Bannister Willard in the March Woman’s Home Companion, the big spring fashion number, takes up one by one the different types of women and tells them just what is their most becoming color, and why. She tells all about the ‘‘treacherous blues’’ and the “kindly browns’ and the ‘‘malicious whites” and what to wear if you're a Titian blonde or a blue-eyed brunette. The spring fabrics and trimmings make another interesting page and show a great many pictures of the new ma- terials. Especially smart among these are the gatin-striped grenadines and the bedford cords in silk and wool and in the trimmings the lovely bands embroid- ered in silk with metallic touches or braided with soutache. And to these features a page of tai- making lesson which gives full direc- tions how to make the popular band- trimmed tailered skirt in the smart walking length.

This makes the measure effective within 10 days, which time wili expire March 6. The bill provides that the Commission- ers shall be appointed within 10 days after the bill becomes an ordinace. This means that Mayor Wells will have to name the Commissioners by March 16. After the appointment of the Commis- sioners, the body will have to organize, which work will take a week.or more, it is believed. The body is to be officially known as The Public Service Commission of St. Louis. There will be three members, one for one year, one for two years, and the third for three years. Reap- pointments at the expiration of these terms shall be for three years. No Reom at City Hall. Excise Commissioner Thomas E. Mul- vihu!l believes that he will have to va- cate his offices in the City Hall to make room for the public service commission. The ordinance creating the body pro- vides that it shall have offices in the City Hall. It was ascertained Thursday that there is not now an unoccupied room in the entire building. Commissioner Mulvihill’s is a State of- fice, and he said Thursday that when he was given the City Hall office, it was with the stipulation that he should move out if the rooms were required for a city office.

From Justice Greer’s office they drove to the Missouri Athietic Club, where they had their bridal dinner alone. Crow’s first wife was Miss May Mc- Elhinney, daughter of Judge McEthin- ney of the St. Louis County Circuit Court.

+ FULTON PROGR BO ‘Generosity of World and Post- ’ + Dispatch Is Officially Recognized. ADOPTION UNANIMOUS Flight of Aerial Craft Will - Make Hudson River Celebra- tion More Noteworthy.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Y¥eb.-25.—The World- Post-Dispatch $10,000 Fulton flight air- ship contest has been officially adopted by the Hudson-Fulton celebrated com- mission as part of the Fulton-Htdson celebration to be held during the week commencing on Sept. 3. This action was taken at a meeting of the Board of Trustees upon the unani- mous recommendation of the Committee on Aeronautics through its chairman, James M. Beck. In a statement issued after the meet- ing, the secretary of the commission, Henry W. Sackett, declared that this ‘action was induced by the generosity of The World and Post-Dispatch in of- Yering its $10,000 prize and that the com- mission expected this feature of the ‘celebration would be one of the most interesting events on the program, not to mention, its educational value. Unanimous Action Taken. After a few remarks from Acting Pres- ident Herman Ridder, in which he highly praised The World and Post-Dispatch for offering the prize and drawing at- tention to the incalculable benefit such race will be to the general development of aeronautics, as well as to the cause of aerial navigation in America, the rec- ommendation of the Committee on Aer- onautics was approved and the Plan and Scope Committee was directed to place the Fulton flight contest upon the official program. - “J anticipate,” said Mr. Ridder aft- er the meeting, “‘that this event will be ‘ene of the most striking parts of the : | I deem it right and fitting that The World and Post-Dispatch’s splendid enterprise should be recognized $m such a signal manner because the - Fulton flight is bound to be one of the ie epochal occasions in the history of - @ur national scientific evolution. _ “IT think the airship today is in the jeame position, if not more advanced, . -@8 was Fulton’s historic Clermont on the historic day it made its first trip up the ‘Hudson.

Senator Kinney Says 01 Will Make Them Real Useful Citizens

ri % Declares State Needs. By MARQUERITE MARTYN. ACHELORS may as well relin- = quish that ‘‘more-to-be-pitied- than - censured’’ expression. Their disguise is effectually penetrat- ed by Senator Kinney’s arguments in favor of his $10-a-year tax bill now before the Legislature. And in case bachelors have main- tained this pose so long that they deceive themselves, they are to be brought to a realization that they have obligations and be deprived of at least one excuse for self-com- miseration or congratulation, as the case may be. Senator Kinney is earnest and en- thusiastic in his demand that a tax of /$10 annually be imposed on all bachelors between the ages of % and 50. “Tt is a reasonable measure to ask for,’’ he said, “a step toward making bachelors of some use in the upbuild- ing of the nation. At present they are a reactionary force, contributing largely to institutions such as this,’’ making a gesture encompassing the cafe which is part of his business on Pine street. You see he has his evi- dence well in hand. ‘They contrib- ute nothing to the home life wherein Hes the strength of the nation,’’ he continued. Bachelots Not Held to Responsibility.

ely I’m Not Responsible for This,” She*Says at Morgue.

——e NEW YORK, Feb. %.--‘‘Sitirely I am not responsible for this, honey boy. Why aid you do it?’ This was the wail of a young, well- dressed woman as she held her hands to the dead face of Lieut. John J. Mol- ler of the BHighth Infantry, U. S&S. A., who committed suicide Monday night tn the Grand Union Hotel. The woman visited the morgue yes- terday and asked permission to see the body. When she saw the dead lieuten- ant’s face she knelt down and ran her fingers through his hair. Dr. Timothy P. Lehane, Coroner’s phy- sician, fearing she might lese self-pos- session, attempted to lead her away. She resisted him, held her hands to the man’s face and uttered the foregoing words. To the physician she said she had been with Lieut. Moller two hours before he Committed suicide. She had been sum- moned to Philadelphia and had learned of the suicide only yesterday morning. She did not tell her name. body of Lieut. Moller will be buried in the National Cemetery at Ar- lington, Washington. A few army friends of the lieutenant ‘will accompany the body to the ceme- tery. There will be no funeral. Weyl's special sale Friday, Feb. 26th, M-cent Nut Cake, 17 cents.

STATE JUVENILE COURTS. The work of the St. Louis Juvenile Court since its establishment in 1901 fully justifies the adop- tion of the system throughout the State. In a letter to the Post-Dispatch published Feb. 24, Mrs. Henry W. Eliot recalls the old procedure, when the child, arrested for the violation of a city ordinance or a State law, was locked up in the holdover and tried in the courts along with the dregs of the criminal population. Whether the trial ended in conviction or acquittal the ef- fect upon the child’s mind and character was al- ways bad and could not be otherwise. The need of distinguishing between the hard- ened criminal and the child offender, in proced- ure and penalty, brought about the new courts in St. Louis and three counties, and it is now pro- posed, by a bill before the Assembly, to estab- lish juvenile courts in all counties having a pop- ulation of 50,000 or more and in all cities of con- siderable size. a ee Such legislation is demanded in the interest of de po- litieal prizes for partisan workers—"Tie St Louis court, so far, has been kept entirely free from such ’ influences, and it should be protected from a po- - litieal raid. And when the system is extended iE ® rep ne ; 7 throughout the State the same rule should gov- ern the Legislature. It is a work of humanity; the social interest only should be consulted. Po- litical “workers” must be made to keep hands off. Li, Ai A a oe

_ Never in the history of St. Louis was there _- greater need for not only honest men, but strong, / capable men in municipal offices. The policy of - public improvements with the honest administra- the Wells administration must be carried on efti-1 tion of public business which has characterized clently and economically. The great expenditures of the next few years must be wisely directed. i i i A if GENTLEMEN OFFEND ONE ANOTHER. The evidence thus far brought out in the Car-

“a -_ . tmack-Cooper case is very simple and understanda- a, é a : ble. or A le One gentleman offended another gentleman, who ; retorted in kind. After that, of course, there was # By nothing \to do but have “meetings,” ‘confer- _enees” and “consultations” with friends. Then came fireworks. The line of cold bread and tea began moving _ southward soon after the Civil War. But it seems not to have carried with it any argument per- Suasive enough to gentlemen to prevent unpleas- ant donsequences when one gentleman offends an- other gentleman or when two gentlemen offeud one another. It is a great pity, because the South and the whole country are often deprived of the valuable services of a strong man, if he happens to be, at the same time, a gentleman with a turn for giving offense. No offense is intended by these few re- marks, but we can’t help thinking. + a i 7-~ Fr

Gov. Hadley can effectively settle the contro- versy over Election Commissioner James G. Car- lisle’s appointment by reappointing this capable and honest official. Politicians who demand his removal are opposed to his work for the purifi- cation of the ballot box in St. Louis. = =

The Post-Dispatch’s criticism of Goy. Hadley’s plan to meet the revenue deficiency in part by levying a tax on corporations is not based upon opposition to corporation taxes. We believe that they are fair subjects of taxation and should be taxed to the full measure of their obligations as favored creatures of the government to contrib- ute to its support. If the separation of State and local taxation rec- ommended by Gov. Folik’s Tax Commission and embodied in a constitutional amendment had been adopted the State might properly have drawn a large revenue from corporation taxes. Franchise corporations should be taxed to the full measure} of their privileges. We object to the unequal taxation which pre- vails under the present system, which will be re- tained so long as the inequalities are permitted to exist. We object to the grossly unjust bur- den of the State’s support which is laid upon St. Louis. We object to the proposed plan of levying additional taxes upon corporations, the greater part of which will be collected in this already overtaxed city; while the existing tax in- equalities are maintained. The fact that a cor- poration tax is’ the easiest collected does’ not make it just. The Board of Equalization should do its full legal duty in the equalizing of assessment valua- tions and making them uniform throughout the State before the Legislature is asked to authorize new taxes, which will bear upon the actual busi- ness interests. Inheritances above a moderate amount ought to be taxed progressively. Whether breweries ought to be licensed is rather a question of public policy than of taxation. To propose additional taxes for breweries belongs to the makeshift pol- icy of taxation which seeks to levy taxes in’a man- ner which will cause the least political danger. But it is time to protest against the disposition of State authorities, who want to dodge their re- sponsibilities and duties, to chuck troublesome tax burdens on the manufacturing and commercial interests. An important task of the party committees is the selection of candidates for the School Board. Under the bi-partisan plan the committee of each leading party selects two candidates and the four names are placed on both tickets. This plan has worked admirably to date. The same standard vf fitnecs which has hitherto governed the selection of candidates should rule both committees for the approaching election. Nothing would cause more dathage to a party in the public mind than an at- témibt to inject politics into the school, or to re- duce the prevailing standard of qualification for Board membership.

Ae Ae =~ a. Lr. Li - i OH, THOSE SUFFFRAGETTES Oh, those English suffragettes! Having learned from the posta] authorities that under the parcels post system in vogue in London it was possible to send “human letters,” they addressed two vol- uble members of their clan to Premier Asquith and started them on their journey, having decided that was the only way to get an interview. They were delivered at the Premier’s residence, but the servants refused to accept them and rather than be sent to the dead-letter office the two animated missives returned to their homes. One of the letters was a “Miss” and the other was a “Mrs.” If the contents of the parcels were fresh and attractive they should find some one willing to accept them, especially on Valentine’s day. The incident is interesting and enlightening when the agitation for a parcels post in’ the United States gains new vigor by the political passing of Expressman-Senator Platt. = =] i i

If the free-bridge row is really settled, what shall we do for mild excitement? — — -— — VS THE REAL POINT. Except possibly in the matter of dodging taxes, Mrs. Hetty Green is as law-abiding as any hun- dred millionaire. But that was not the point for comment in connection with the marriage of her daughter, Sylvia. The point is so important that all commentators who have missed it, ought to turn back, find it and begin over again in giving the world the benefit of the moral of the marriage. Once found, the point is unmistakable. Mrs. Green is not only very rich, but she is indepen- dently rich. She is independently rich not be- cause she is very rich, but in spite of it. The in- dependent and dependent poor among her neigh- bors in Hoboken have their social and other ideas. She did not outrage them, but she depended on her own. She astonished and also gratified Ho- boken. As for the observances which bind the dependent rich, she ignored them with het” ususal calm dependence, not on her own money or theirs, but on her own mind. When she says she is happy “because Sylvia is happy,’”’ Hoboken wishes the family joy and it is not too late for the coun- try to join Hoboken in fnll appreciation of the point and the moral.

Mr. Roosevelt neglected to state in his biog- raphy of Mr. Taft—in the Inaugural Souvenir— that the President-elect has never been guilty of saying anything so grossly impolitic as “Not until an American fleet returns victorious from a bat- tle at sea will there be such a home coming.” i A i i a A The individual who is fined $4 for a petty swin- die feels disgraced.

TERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Auto Horn. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I live in the block between Taylor and Walton on Washington boulevard and would like to know if there are any city ordinances which, if enforced, would reach certain addle-pated motor car drivers who have an idea they are locomotive engineers. Several in particular try to see how closely they can imitate the standard railroad crossing signal by blowing their whistles, starting at Taylor and con- tinuing until Walton is reached, then possibly they find the garage doors closed in the garage at the corner of Walton and Washington and keep up the g00d work until every good cifizen is looking for his| shotgun, and some would use them if they were not aSlaw-abiding as the chauffeurs are not. This com- plaint does not refer to the user of the ordinary horn, but applies to the whistles blown by the en- gine exhaust. WASHINGTON. Patterson Still a Socialist. To the Editof of the Post-Dispatch. Will you kindly allow space for a correction of the article published by you a few days ago wherein you reported Joseph Medill Patterson of Chicago as having “renounced Socialism and upon is promise to be good in the future, was elected to the Secre- taryship of the publishing company of which his father is president, etc.” You will notice from the enclosed facsimile of Mr. Patterson’s denial that the whole story was the rankest kind of a canard and your spirit of fair play wgl prompt you to set your readers right in the ma’*ter. OSCAR EVERTZ Elevated Roads Out of Date. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read in a recent issue the letter of ‘‘Chicagoan,” boosting ‘‘CHicago’s rapid-transit’’ and - particularly the elevated system of Chicago.: For his benefit I inclose clippings from the Chicago News and Chi- cago Chronicle, giving their opinions of elevated roads and stating that elevated roads are out of date apd advising St. Louls against building elevated roads. The writer recently rode on Chicago surface cars and did not find them superior to the best lines in St. Louis. Many are short cars, with seats run- ning lengthwise, with carpet covers, especially those centering on Dearborn street. St. Louis is good enough for | ST. LOUISAN. Small Park Needed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I saw in last night’s paper that the Council was g0- ing to report favorably on the Christian Brothers’ Park bill. If the city has $80,000 to pay for a park, | let them place a small one around Chouteau avenue, between Broadway and Lighteenth . street. They need one there. UW. & cht A Wife on Working Girls. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to answer letter written by “Not an Old Maid.’’ My idea is that any girl who is working for a salary, and it is not necessary for her to work, is committing a very great sin by taking the bread out of a poor girl’s mouth, or perhaps some poor man can feed his wife and family on the money she earns. N. A. O. M. tells us she ‘“‘shows ambition.’’ There are dozens of other ways to show ambition: Let her learn to cook, sew, and keep house properly. There should be a law that every girl asking for work should have a paper signed by some minister, or some person who knows, showing that it is neces- sary for her to work. Any man or woman who em- ploys a gifl who does not have to work, should be punished; if that were the case, there would not be sO many men out of work. Wake up, St. Louis. N. A. O. M. complaing about married life. I have been married about three years and have not had one unhappy moment, not even an unhappy thought, In those three years; and I do wish that single girls would keep quiet about things they know nothing about. If a wife is a good, honest, trusting wife, she will have a good husband. In answer to letters regarding stenographers, my husband has a very pretty stenographer, sitting by his side.from 8:30 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. I love and trust my husband, keep his home clean, his clothing clean and mended, his meals on time, allow him to smoke in any part of the house at all times, and keep myself looking tidy, and that is why my husband is happy when 5:30 p. m. comes around, and that is why his wife does not worry about the stenographer.. AN OLD WIFE. A Monument to Ingersoll. To the Editor of*the Post-Dispatch. I am sad when F. D. says I take everything in solemn and stupid earnest. I am degply grieved at the keen sufferings of Col. Ingensoll over the crime of drunkenness. This must have been what took the Colonel off. His work in the cause of Lib- erty is a tall monument to him. > D. P. Voting Machines Needed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The new St. Louis should hasten to insure the con- fidence of all good citizens and show fairness to al! those coming to establish business or make homes here. To insure fairness for all political parties, steps should be taken at once to negotiate with the manufacturers of voting machines, who would only be too glad to install them for trial at our coming elections, to demonstrate their feasibility, with a view of getting them installed into Greater St. Louis for our coming elections. This would do away with ballot box stuffing and expensive recounts at the cost of the taxpayers. Then and only then will we begin the real new St. Louis. We cannot act too quick if we want a square deal. The repeaters are already at work, the ballot box stuffer will work overtime and the so-called judges do the rest. . DISGUSTED ONE WHO KNOWS. Chicago’s Merits Upheld. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In his letter regarding Chicago surface lines, J. L. Ring omitted to state that the Wentworth avenue, Cottage Grove, Clark, Indiana, Thirty-ninth street. Forty-third street, Forty-seventh street lines, seven in all, are running cars equal to any in St. Louls. As to the ‘‘junk’’ on Western avenue, same or worse can be. found on the Cass, Seventh, Lee, Spring, Tower Grove, Cherokee, Eighteenth, Union and Man- chester lines, while the rails are simply abominable. The one-lrorse hose reel is in a suburb and as to its taking 20 minutes for three blocks—well, whoever held the watch would better have it fixed. COIT ANGEL SMITH. —_

KANSAS CHIVALRY. From the Topeka Capitai. It seems that only 200 women have registered to participate in the city primaries while the male regis- tration is 10,000, and some of the prominent women of the city are expressing fears for the success of the women Who are candidates for places on the School Board. These fears are groundless. The men of the city are wise enough to know that the women ought to have representation on this board, which handles those prblic affairs that are so: close to the home. They can be depended upon to see that the women candidates for membership in the Board of Education are nominated by handsome majorities. DAMP AT DRY CREEK. From the Nashville American. _ Many illicit stills are reputed to flourish on Dry Creek, in Cecke County. The constituents of thes¢ Joy-juice factories do not understand or appreciate why any community should put up a roar simply because the high-licensed saloons are taken away from it. .

This results in various complications, ending in dyspep- sia and premature decay.’’ To quote: “Since clothing serves to retain the heat which is created by the burning of the food or fuel which we take in, it follows that other things, being equal, the more fuel taken, the more rapidly can heat be lost from the body without lowering its temperature, and, there- fore, the less clothing—that is, obstruc- tion to the outflow of the heat produced —is necessary. On the other hand, if abundant means are Provided for tarding the outflow of heat—that is, if we clothe ourselves heavily—then so much less heat will require to be made so much less food will require to ni consumed,’’ The doctor further points out the dan- ger of wearing tight-fitting Clothing and the advantages of loose garments. He says: : “A given amount of a xiven materia] and texture is warmer as a loose gar- ment that as a tight one, simply because it imprisons, as a loose earment, a certain amount of air, and air is rela- tively a very bad conductor of heat ana therefore, ‘warm,’ just as Clothes are ‘warm.’ “This is one reason why there is seme thing to be said for clothing ourgelyes in more layers than one. We thus im- prison more dayers than one of air broken layers, no doubt, but ‘none the legs valuable, so long as the air is im- prtsoned in some degrée. Indeed, other things being equal, the warmest cloth. ing will be air-tight clothing, but it js hardly necessary to say that the tm. prisonment of the air by clothing for purposes of warmth must only be par- tial and imperfect. Let us observe the golden mean, and while, on the one hand, we clothe ourselves with air, jet us insure, on’ the other hand, that the alr is ventilated.’’ The origin of clothes, according to the doctor, was not a necessity, as we un. derstand it, but for decoration and seit- assertion. This latter reason would in- clude the necessity for distinction among individyals.

It’s plain enough to see what has happened. The Donna Isabel salled in ballast, these chests being about the only cargo carried. They shifted in the heavy seas, and the Lord only knows where they are now. Any- way, they are safe beyond the reach of your ice cleaver."’ They stared into each others’ faces, the disagreeable truth slowly penetrat- ing their minds. Kelly spoke, his voice trembling. “Then why the hell, sir, do just what you said?’’ “What! run her ashore?—simply be- cause, my lad, that shore happens to be a thousand mile away, and I doubt if this wreck keeps afloat three days longer.”’ Their excited faces told of incredulity, of a suspicion that I was playing with them, and I went on swiftly: “You fellows have been go last two days you haven’t thought of anything but gold. I tell you it is not the treasure, but our lives we've got to save. The ice is peeling off the sides, and the ship is taking water like a sieve.

Why, you can see the list of the aeck even here in the cabin, and the feel of her when she drops into a hollow is enough to make a seaman sick. Which is worth most, mate, those yellow boys or the little girl yonder?” He looked at Celeste, white-faced, the tears staining her cheeks, her eyes glowing like two coals, and all the fierce passion of resistance seemed to desert his countenance. His glance dropped to the deck, returning to my face. “By gar, if you put it zat way, mon- sieur, zen I choose the lady, sure. But ze sing I want is both of ’em.”’ ‘No doubt: but you have sense enough to realize that you can’t have both. So I count you with me. Now, how about you, Johnson?’ The big, hairy seaman, sober-faced and grave-eyed, glanced about on his mates and straightened up. “I’m here to obey orders, sir,’’ he said slowly. “Ive allers been poor, an’ I reckon the Lord don’t mean me to ever git: rich.” I held’ out’ my hand, deeply touched by the sterling honesty of the reply. “You've got something worth more than money, Bill, and that’s manhood. stand the acid.

Their hesitation and growling qurses irritated me none the less. ~ “Jump, you fellows, unless you want the same mediciye Cole just took.’’ The two men lifted the negro in their arms and bore him back to one of the staterooms aft. Kelly came out again and returned with a pannikin of water. I bent down and closed the lid of the chest. The five of us tramped out on deck. “Now, lads, let’s make use of what daylight we’s got left.

Johnson amd I will see that the long boat is sound, stocked and ready for launching.”’ We made a thorough job of It, over- hauling the boat from stem to stern, and ending by rigging up block and tackle for hoisting her, when loaded over the bulwarks. We lashed the Donna Isabel's helm again, and dis- patched Dade into the cabin after sup- lies. The greater portion of the stores rought from the Sea Queen, more especially the canned goods, remained intact, and we packed these away snug- ly in the stern lockers, adding what- ever we could find that remained eat- able among the frozen stores in the lazarette. Altogether we thus amassed a sufficient supply. We. rolled up all the extra blankets. shoving them under the seats, and saw that serviceable spars and oars were safely stowed and lashed. It was growing dusk before these matters had al! been attended to and I finally stepped out of the boat. The men were massed in a body on the deck, and the moment I saw them understood they had been discussing the situation. De Nova spoke: “Monsieur,” he questioned, “how much in American money would be in ze or . ‘ “I don't know, of course, but just for a guess, perhaps a hundred aqvete—may be — thousand “An’ zare be only ze ten of divide it up make, maybe, ten Fn Was it not so?” aetars for each. “Why. ves. or even more for 1 will cheerfully waive eee iene! and can pledge that Lady Darlington will do the same.

“Feeding the ULL, lustreless Hair denotes a starved Scalp, when it does not denote a dirty one. Glossy, lustrous, flexible Hair denotes a healthy, well-nourished Scalp, as well as a cleanly one. Thousands of people who are very fastidious about washing their hands and faces, and about taking a Bath every day, do not wash their Hair even once a month. And surely the Hair is much more likely to collect dust, dirt, perspiration, and worn-out Cuticle, than either the face or the body. Surely the accumulation of these forms of dirt must breed Bacteria and attract Disease-Germs: more than any other common source of contagion. So that dull, lustreless Hair is a very unpleasant sign to the initiated. It is also as unnecessary as it is unpleasant. Because Cleanliness and Nutrition will bring lustre to any Hair that is living. yy & But Cleanliness is too often secured at the expense of Nutrition. Many well-intentioned people not only starve their Scalps for want of sufficient Skin-food, but _parch out the little remaining Nutrients stored up in its cells, by the use of Caustic Soaps. These Soaps are successful. enoughein cleaning the Scalp, because their excess of Alkali cuts not only the accumulated dirt in the Hair, but also cuts out all its Natural Oils—its supply of Nourishment. The use of Alkali in Soap, you know,’ is to cut its Fatty Oils so that it will Saponify and lather ‘freely. An excess of Alkali makes easy washing, but it also parches the Scalp or Skin, and replaces. none of the dirty Oils it cuts out with a nourishing supply of Clean Oils and Nutrients. Many alleged “Hair Growers” help on this “drying- out” process till the Scalp scales, the Hair: grows dull and lustreless, brittle, fine, and falls out gradually to the Stage of Baldness. The Scalp has then been finally starved. » Well,—what to do?—you ask. Feed it while cleaning it. Disinfect it from Bacteria while you feed and clean it.

a i A i as Veterans Trainin g at French Lick Have Confidence in Success of Team of 1909.

BY JOHN E. WRAY, Sporting Editor Post-Dispatch. R FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Feb. 2. ED hot for the pennant and nothing short of it, are the veterans who tramped out in rain, snow and mud, yesterday, intent on getting that keen edge of ‘physical condition which will enable them to start the sea- son with a rush. In these days of bickerings between magnates it is a relief to turn to these veteran players, unitedto a finish on one theme, thinking of nothing but baseball and avoiding the rock of discord, for the sake of the com- mon good of the game. They set the magnates,a worthy ex- ample; as, after all, these are the men who make baseball, not the wire pullers and their puppets. A poll of the men shows that all think the Browns will’ be one-two. Most of them think Cleveland; must be beaten. They are not figuring on the old theory that want of a. good left-hander will beat the Blues; for Ferris and Dinneen tell how Boston twice did the trick. It ig even on the cards that Barney Pelty, especially a bugbear for the Blues, will be used especially to defeat this team. All figure that the club which can best stand the terrific gruelling sure to result from this year’s racq, is the club that will land in front. That is why the men need not be coaxed or oled into working, and why even ' Rube Waddell jumps out in front and shows the way, through the cross-coun- try’ mud, to the haven of physical per-. fection. the edge of the bench. The last man to g° in was Criss and by this time Mc- Aleer. was sitting on the very edge of the board. Just as the opposing batter landed on one for a safe’ hit McAleer “pulled” so hard for a strike that he slipped clear off and whacked the ground real solid. That safe hit hurt ‘so badly that I don’t believe he ever felt the jar.’ H Mr. Wolfe, who anoints Ajax Powell and Achilles Dinneen after their gym- nasium work, gave a musicale to the boys.

Last year French Lick afforded such variations of the amusement bill-of-fare as ‘‘Klondike,” ‘‘Keno,’’ “‘roulette,’’ ‘‘pok- er,’’ and horse racing as witnessed in pool rooms.

Hobe Ferris tells of a game with Washington in which the Browns needed one run. Three men tried to seore during the crucial] inning for the Browns. One after the other, they were caught at the plate. Hobe was frothing “at the mouth, but his wrath changed to amusement when he saw McAleer pick up the bag containing the balis and angrily throw them against the awning roof. “That ain't all,” said Hobe. “The boss gets his mind on the game real hot during a close battle.

Guy Golterman, manager of the Coli- geum, has practically decided to hold @ big amateur Marathon race in the Col- iseum on the evening of March 17 in conjunction with a high school athletic meet. Eddie Cochems, coach of the St. Louis University athletes, will manage the event. Unless he can secure the majority of the stars of the entire country, Golter- man will not bring off the race. Te-} wanina, noted Carlisle Indian runner, Sammy Mellor of Yonkers, N. Y., and Joe Forshaw of St. Louis, three top- notchers, have already signified their willingness to compete. It is hoped to get Morrissey, another Eastern star, to enter.

ST. LOUIS AWARDED MOTOR BOAT RACE Announcement will be made in a few days by the American Power Boat As- sociation that the national championship race for all boats 20 feet in length and under has been awarded to the St. Louis Power Boat Association and will be decided on the Mississippi River at this city on Decoration day; May 30. This race will be for what fs known as’ the bronze trophy. Boats from all over the country will be shipped to St. Louis for the race, as it is not difficult to ship the 20-footers. The average speed of the 20-footers is about twenty miles an hour. There are three championship divi- sions each year. The first is for the gold trophy, valued at $1000, and is for boats up to 40 feet in length. The sec- ond class is for boats 32 feet or under and is for a silver cup. The third class for the 20-footers is for the bronze tro- phy, Which must cost no less than $260, and it is the third class that is to be held in 8t. Louis. The members of the St. Louls Power Boat Association held their annual ban- quet at the Blue Grass Hotel last night. The association was represented at a meeting of the American Power Boat Association held at New York by H. F. Combs. Combs returned from New York only yesterday. Combs was one of the members of the committee which had the awarding the championship events. The Thousand Islands Boat Club will in all probability get both the gold cup and silver cup races. Other Eastern clubs wanted the small boat event, but Combs pointed out that the race should come to St. Leuis, and as he personally guaranteed the $260 for the bronze trophy he got the race, Clubs from the Pacific Coast, Florida, Minnesota:and other parts of the coun- try were represented at New York. Walter Beauvais is about the enly lo- cal man with a fast 20-foot racing boat in St. Louis at present. It is expected that quite a number ef local men will build new 20-footers, for the reason that the championship trophies are subject to challenge for one year and the hold- er of the cup has the right to name the place where they shall be held, o A MOTORING The next show in order in the West is that of the Kansas City Dealers’ Asso- ciation, in Convention Hall, March 8 to 14. It will inject into this affair the accustomed “Kansas City spirit,” which made the show such a grand success last year. The officials there are trying their best to outdo St. Louis’ splendid effort of last weck. They will have to “go some” to eclipse the St. Louls man- ufacturers and dealers. It cannet be so large a show as that held here, for the reason that K. C. has not such large automobile trade interests as the “Mound City.”’

London Treats Bat as Nobleman Though New York Ho

Lightweight Champion Tells of Visit With.British After First Gans Fight.

BY BATTLING NELSON. Copyright, 1908, by Battling Nelson. HORTLY after my unsatisfactory S affair with Joe Gans, I decided to take a trip abroad. Can you beat that for a fellow who ten years before hkd been riding qn the trucks of a train and slinging hash at a cheap restaurant? But you never can tell. I rigged myself up in a swell layout of clothes and booked passage on the steamer Majestic. Finally I set sail from New York and arrived in Liver- pool a week later, after a most delight- ful voyage. I was met by a committee of En- glish sports and escorted to London. There I put up at the Hotel Cecil. I had a great time for a couple of days and then accepted an engagement at one of the big music halis at New- castle on the Tyne. -I showed in con- junction with the Gans-Nelson pictures and proved as big a drawing card over there as I had been in the United States. Bat Tendered a Banquet. I was tendered a banquet by the Hon. Louis Zollner, Danish Consult at Newcastle... Among the notables pres- ent were the Lord Mayor of Newcastle, The dinner was laid in the select ban- quet hall of the Northumberland Cafe. A number of speeches were made and they finally called on me. I felt pretty good that night and I managed to say that I appreciated the compliment. As I stood there in ‘swell clothes I couldn’t help going back to the day that I licked the Terrible Unknown in Wallace’s circus, and had my coat and vest stolen, as well as my highly prized Waterbury watch. After the dinner the entire party at- tended the theater as my guests in @ private box. It was in London that’I had a good chance to show my American spirit. As a result I think I can truthfully say that no fighter has more friends in Lon- Gon than I have today. I met with such overwhelming suc- cess as a drawing card that two days after my opening night I was signed for a 12 weeks’ contract in the city of London, on the Holborn-Empire circuit. Under my contract I was to receive $1000 per week to show in one house at & time. I only worked a week when the

BAT MUST HAVE BIG PURSE OR NO FIGHT LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 2.— Battling Nelson is not going to fight for a mere pittance again. Unless the promoters agree to his terms, the Dane will retire from the ring. In a statement issued by the champion, he says that he must have $15,000 for his end of the purse in a bout with Freddie Welsh, the English fighter. If this propo- sition is not accepted by July 4, Bat says he will increase his de- mand to $20,000 and give the pro- moters until Sept. 9 to accept this offer. If it is not taken up, the Dane says he will retire from the ring.

I refused to work unless the managers and the federation settled their dlfficul- ties. I waited around London a few days to see if they would settle their difficulties and then crossed the Eng- lish channel, arriving at “Gay Paree.” I spent about a week sight-seeing, after which I returned to London. Upon my arrival at the Hotel Cecil I was served with a notice tq appear in court. and answer tO @ charge of breach of con- tract by the theatrical association with whom I had signed. This suit was later settled by compromise. Ther following week found me showing at the. Palace Theater, Manchestér, England, in an independent house—which was not involved in the trouble at all. As the Strikers had not come to an agreement with the managers’ associa- tion I thereupon decided to return to the one and only country on the uni- verse-AMERICA, | was instrumental to & pertain extent in winning the strike for the artists. I have received num- eroys ietters from the presidents of the artipts’ federations in the different ci- ties of England thanking me for the grand and noble stand that I took in refusing to work as a scab while they were striking.

I was met at the docks by a throng of friends and sport writers that would do honors to a king. okt immediately set sail for a return ©eeting with my most hated rival—Joe Gans. I found it impossible to get an immediate meeting with Gans, therefore went after the next best fighter avall- able. : | J departed from New York for my wtiome, Hedgewisch, Ill, to pay a short visit with my folks and to rest up a hit. While visiting there Gans hap- pened in Chicago and was showing at the Trocadero Theater, where I picked up his trail and challenged him for a return battle, consenting to every propo- sition he made with the exception of guaranteeing him the winner’s end of the purse, win or lose. Quite a dis- cussion arose regarding our relative drawing powers on the stage. Some of th» sport writers claimed that Gans was superior @8 a drawing card and was entitled to the lion's share of the purse, win or lose. Others agreed that I was just as good a card, or better than Gans, and that Gans would draw for his end in a fight with 4#e more money for losing that he would receive for winning over any other opponent in the country.

, | NEW YORK, Feb. 3. HE Burns- Johnson fight pictures T are running now in London. Jim- my Britt, who saw them, says it is evident from the pictures that Burns was anything but whipped when the police jumped in and stopped the fight. “Johnson was too big and strong,” says Britt. “He had nothing on Burns in cleverness, but his weight told, and his height made him hard to reach. After seeing the pictures, I feel safe in predicting that if Jeff, half as good as he used to be, meets Johnson, Jeff will stop him without any trouble.” Sporting Life says: “From first to last Johnson shows himself the better man. Round after round we notice the introduction of his famous uppercut, which proved the undoing of his small- er rival. We can, however, but admire the manner in which Burns sticks pluck- fly to the task of attempting to gain the upper hand of his taller and heav- ler opponent. We can also understand how he came to cable to the effect that he was still strong and the pictures show everything. He is seen to be able to rise to his feet in the fourteenth round, after being sent to the boards, anxious to continue. The police inspect- or, however, is seen to be making his way to the ring. “Once Burns slipped and his fall with

BY JOHN POLLOCK, NEW YORK, Feb. 2%.—The most im- portant bout between middleweights scheduled to be fought in this city since the old Hortog law days will take place at the eteag of the Fairmont A. C. to- night, when Joe Thomas and Hugo Kelly clash. Both men are top notchers in their class, and as they have excel- lent records, they should put up one of the best battles ever witnessed in the | East. Stanley Ketchel, the middle weight champion, has agréed to take on the winner, waich is an incentive alone }to make the men fight their hardest in ferder to come out victorious and threby get another chance to meet Ketchel for \the middleweigt* championship of the world. Both are in'‘as fine physical condition as they could possibly be. AY Lippe, manager of Abe Attell, last night said that he was ready to arrange @ match for Attell with Owen Moran, provided the latter would consent to box Attell at 122 pounds, weigh in at 6 p. r"If Charley Harvey is willing to accep the above weight erms,’’ said Lippe, “I will meet him at any time or place to complete the arrangeménts for the bout.”’ Owing to the fact “that Tommy O’Toole, the Quaker City fighter, is {ll and will not be able to meet Abe At- teil in a six-round bout at the Washing- ton.

Later he fought Rudolph Unholz, the alleged He received for both bouts leas than half of what he received for his fight with me before Jim Ceffroth’s club ‘on July 4, 1908, when he lost the cham- pionship. We fought for a winner's and loser’s end, as I predicted we would when we met. Couldu’t Get Gans to Sign, I found it impossible to get a return meeting with the negro at the time and therefore signed up to meet my old rival, Jimmy Britt, at San Francisco, before the San Francisce Athletic Club on July 31, 1007. We met in the evening at Dreamland Pavilion, which was packed to the limit, the gate receipts amounting te al- most $26,000. We fought at 133 pounds, weigh in at ¢ p. m. on the day of contest. I was a decided favorite at 2 to 1 in the bet- ting, es I had in the previous battle knocked Jimmy out cold ‘1 18 rounds, In the next chapter I will make an explanation concerning this fight that may prove interesting. .

5112000, INVES! IT IN BUILDING) Willie Greenburg Owner of One of the City’s Hand- somest Apartments.

DOESN’T LIKE TO TALK

But Does Like Work; That’s the Way He Built His Fortune. —

Having built up his fortune, Willie Greenburg, newsboy, is now putting a roof-on it. It is an expensive and up- to-date roof, and it will cover one of the handsomest apartment housés in St. Louis—the new Knickerbocker, at Tay- lor and McPherson avenues. To those who have known Willie since he made his humble start in the busi- ness life of St. Louis, it seems not go very long ago that he was a little dark- haired, black-eyed ‘“‘kid,’’ dodging wag- ons and hopping cars in the downtown district and advertising his warés with a shrill tremolo cry: ‘‘Paper here; pa- per.”’ And as time goes it wasn’t long. Wil- lie is only 32 years old now, yet, accord- ing to the real estate agency which is looking after his affairs, his investment in the Knickerbocker Apartments amounts'‘to $112,000, including the ground fee, which has a value of $20,000. Doesn’t Talk; Just Works. Willie doesn’t talk about it himself. He merely shrugs ‘his shoulders as though to say: ‘“‘What is there so won- derful about a fellow working hard and saving his money?’ ase But Willie’s big brother, Ben, who fought Willie’s battles for him in the days when “hustling’’ papers was a continuous warfare in which only the fittest survived, is proud .of ‘“‘the little fellow's’’ financial success. “O, Willie is the candy kid, all right,”’ said Ben. ‘“‘He’s got the money and he deserves it. He always was a bear for work.”’ | Willie and Ben, in partnership, own fhe newstand in the marble and onyx lobby of the Merchants-Laclede Bank buflding at Fourth and Olive street. hey control the distribution in St. Louis of many magazines and out-of-town pa- pers. Willie was 12 years old when he took out his first batch of papers in 1539. Financiers His Friends, For nearly 10 years he and pen were just ‘‘newsies."’ At the end of that time they had saved enough to open a little open air stand against the Merchants- Laclede building at Fourth and Olive streets. This was in the heart of the financial district—the Wali Street of St. Louis— and Willie’s devotion to his little busi- ness soon won recognition .rom bankers, brokers and men of affairs. William H. Lee, president of the Merchants-La- clede bank, became then and still is, a staunch friend of Willi€é the newsboy. So are George J. Tansey, president of the St. Lauis transfer Co., James Camp- bell, David R. Francis, Mayor Wells and many st. Louigans of almost equal prominence and influence. Willie learned many things while he was selling magazines and newspapers at the financial cross-réads. Brokers and bankers lingered at his stand to gossip. Seeing in Willie a born child of thrift they gave him investment tips which sometimes yielded handsome _ returns. But Willie. never lost his head. He wouldn't speculate and his occasional good fortune in the market did not dull the keen edge of his industry and appli- cation. His business grew until three years ago the outdoor stand was too smail. So when the Merchantss-Laclede Build- ing was remodeled, he and his big Ben, startled the managers of the building by offering to rent the greater part of the Fourth street lobby. Their bid was the best, and they had | to’ bind the bargain, and for the first time in his life Willie Greenburg worked with a roof over his _———

— re ne LLL LLL CRS p oro Lococr His apartment house is near comple- tion now, but he has taken on none of the airs of a capitalist. He is still plain Willie Greenburg, modest in dis- cussing his private affairs, ‘saying nothing, but sawing wood,” as his big brother, Ben, phrases It.
