R. an taxpayer. Did the letter feaze Representative Taylor? Times have changed. When Taylor received the sizzling missive, he didn’t nervously twist his long, iron-gray beard, one reason for this being that he has no beard and another that he didn’t give a continental consarn what “R. R. an tax- payer” had to say. The dapper, smooth-faced young lawyer just showed the letter around and said: “See what one of my rube constituents sent me?” And they | all laughed. VISITORS “LOADED” Purposes. WITH POBLIC SPIRIT. ETWEEN suns in the week just closed two B men slipped into Jefferson City—a reporter and an artist who were charged with— well, say with zeal for the public welfare. That’s what everybody in Jefferson City says he is charged with, especially the lobbyists. The people of the great State of Missouri don’t know what is being done for them—and to them— at Jefferson City. “We'll tell them,” said the writer. “We will,” said the artist. They had not been long in Jefferson City when they discovered that everybody there who hasn't a valet has a clerk. And nobody has a valet. Ergo, as College President and Representative Jerre Muir of Lewis County would say, every- body has a clerk. One of these clerks is a 9-year-old boy. Many of them are slips of girls who go to school when the Legislature isn’t in session. Chewing gum at $3.50 a day isn’t so bad. Somebody ought to tell the army of the unemployed .-.bdut it.. A clerk was cornered in the lobby of the Mad- ison House and asked point blank: “What does a clerk do?” WHY, SORE, A CLERK . DOES LOTS OF THINGS. ant meme bbe etive. He boked about as ee ee opens the mail and keeps the printed bills in or- der, so his boss can refer to them handy, and sees people that his boss don’t want to see, and finds people that his boss does want to see, and, ah, ah, things like that. These senators and representatives are pretty busy men, you know. There ain’t a mail that my boss don’t get five or six letters. I go through ’em and hand him the ones I think are important.”’ With all that help, it ought to be easy for legis- lators to make laws. BUT THEY HAVEN’T MADE ANY. Maybe the clerks have been handing them the wrong letters. But they’ve put a check on the clerks now. They'll have to report for duty at ¥ a. m. and 2 p. m. every day. : That will be an awful strain on some of them, especially on one of them, a woman who lives 150 miles-frent-the Capitol and-has-not been in Jeffer- son City since the session opened. Unless she has, saved enough out of the salary she has already drawn to buy an automobile, she will find it difficult to get over the ground. NICE SIGHTSEEING TREAT FOR CLERKS. ANY of the clerks who are actually in Jef- ‘ferson City will have their first glimpse of the legislative halls when _ eee go to the rolicalls twice a day. Whether the resolution requiring clerks to re- port for duty will check the drain on the State Treasury remains to be seen. “There are lots of ways of killing a dog with- out choking him to death,” was the comment of a member who voted against it. “Tt doesn’t mean anything,” “As long as we answer at, the rolicall it said one of the clerks. will be all right.” The 176 members of the Legislature so far have received $40,000 in salaries. The clerks have re- ceived $60,000. And the session is less than half over. What has the Legislature been doing? Well, let’s step into the House and ask Taylor of Chari- ton, the bright young lawyer who received the letter from “R. R. an taxpayer.” “Noing?” said Taylor, with an expression of painful surprise in his fawn-like eyes. “Doing?” Why, we're the busiest bunch in Missouri. We've introduced more than 1100 bills here. Some of them are wonders, too. With all modesty I can say that one bill of mine fs unlike any that was ever proposed anywhere. And the beauty of it is that, if it is passed, it will mean a revenue of $3,000,000 a year to the State of Missouri. MAKE EACH DRINKER PAY $5 FOR HIS TAG. , T PROVIDES that every man who desires to | drink intoxicating liquors in this State must pay $5 into the Treasury for a li- cense. Now, isn’t that a good idea? If liquor is such a bad thing, why shouldn’t the burden of taxation fall on those who drink it, instead of be- ing distributed over the entire community? I say, raise the taxes of drinkers. My bill also pro- vides that a saloonkeeper or a bartender who sells drink to any man who has no license shall be fined $500. “They have diitehenil: my measure the “Tag Bill.” Some of the members have been playing horse with it and tacking amendments onto it, but it’s a good thing, especially the clause which provides that a nmian’s drinking license is to be revoked on an affidavit from his wife that he can’t drink without making a fool of himself. * nencatededo. headrest a re

here, but we're not. We do a lot of good hard work. Sometimes we let down a little, but that’s on the theory that ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’ “Most of the bills introduced here have had something to do with the liquor question. Now there are all sorts of notéons about that question, and so there are bound to be all kinds of bills. That one of mine was drawn up by the wettest man in Missouri. I introduced it by request. I’m going to fight for it, too. Go down front there and ask Johnson of Vernon County to tell what he thinks about whisky. He made a rattling speech yesterday against Pemberton’s uait local option bill.’ ? GOOD OLD WHISKY AS A TEMPERANCE DRINK. OHNSON looks like a man who has a serious ide of his. duties as a legislator. given to horseplay. : “Yes, I told them about whisky,” said Johnson. ‘“‘Now, be sure you put this in the right light. I am against the saloon. You know I introduced that bill providing that neither a wholesaler or a retailer shall permit intoxicants to be drunk on hig premises, and fixing the minimum amount that can be sold to any one customer in the orig- inal package. I believe that if there weren't any ‘galoons there wouldn’t be so much bad whisky sold. “Understand, I don’t know anything about this from my personal knowledge, but I have been told that good whisky won’t make a man drunk, in the ordinary sense of the term. | “To be good, I am informed, it should be aged five years in an oak barrel. Then instead of making a man violent, it will just warm his blood and make him genial. It may cause him to drop off into a gentle slumber, but it will never incite him to crime. — “Two friends of mine drank some whisky. It did such queer things to them that they were curious to know what was in it. When the bar- rel was empty they bought it from the saloon keeper, and what do you think they found? A pound plug of chewing tobacco nailed to the bot- tom of the barrel. “Now, I don’t think it’s horseplay to tell people about these things. You can do a lot for the cause _to go through fire and water, to fight to the last ,

~A PLA Sd PAPAL ALA of temperance by convincing the public that it is getting rank poison when it pays for whisky.” LAWMAKERS ARE LIKE THE *“‘WICKED FLEE,” HEN one hears a few talks like this, he is almost convinced that the Legislature is indeéd busy, if only as indicated by the humorist who said that a flea is “an animal that fusses around a good deal but doesn’t accomplish much.” Like the flea, the Legislature is always on the jump. And, whether it is a mere pretense or not, every man of the 142 in the House and the 34 in the Senate is as solemn as an owl when he is asked about a bill he has introduced, however “freakish” the measure may be. There is Senator McAllister of Paris, Mo., for instance. He is willing, nay anxious, to fight and die, to wield the legislative sword Bxcalibur, ditch for a nine-foot bed sheet. That’s what Mis- souri needs—not 14 feet through the valley, but a bed sheet nine feet long. McAllister is in earnest about it. = “T can’t see why in the world they call that a freak bill,” he said, snatching a few minutes from his arduous duties to talk to the reporter. “That is only one clause in a general bill for the regu- lation of hotels, inns and taverns, and it’s a good clause, too. “The idea is that the guest must be protected from germs while he is asleep. The way to do that is to have a sheet so long that it will fold under the other bed clothing at both ends, so that the sleeper’s body will not come in contact with anything except the sheet. A freshly laundered sheet is about as germless as anything can be. My bill provides that each guest shall have a clean, nine-foot sheet. Now that doesn’t sound like horseplay, does it?” Of course not. When the McAllister idea sinks in they'll have to sterilize the towels in the Turk- ish baths and fumigate the lunch counter pie. CROW-BAITER SAYS HIS IS NOBLE CAWS. : OLE of Laclede is equally serious about his bill to pay a bounty of 5 cents each for ‘crow scalps. This bill is being held up

We regret to note the attack on the Bible em- bodied in the bill introduced by Sena Stark in the State Senate and ordered to engrossment by that body. The bill requires that the Bible be read in the public schools of the State. The Bible is a wonderful book. Merely as Ut- erature it is the world’s richest treasure. It is a storehouse of wisdom. It contains prose aud poetry which have never been excelled in nobility of thought, beauty of imagery, charm of form and perfection of expression. From it may be learned an unsurpassed code of ethics and a vis- ion of spiritual perfection which potentializes the regeneration of the world through the brother- hood of man. Everyone ought to read the Bible. No one fs thoroughly educated who has not read it. No one who has not read it is capable of understan‘l- ing our civilization and its history. But because the Bible deals in the main with religion, which may not be acceptable to some elements of the people, and because there are differing opinions as to versions and as to religious doctrines derived therefrom, it would be unwise for the State to make it a subject of legislation or to take any action which would inject questions of its use or disuse, of the form or manner of its use, into politics. The less the State government has to do with questions that concern religion in any way the better for the State and for religion. To make the reading of the Bible in the public ischools compulsory would arouse bitter resent- ment in some quarters. It would cause heated religious discussion. It would tend to make the Bible obnoxious to many who object to the compulsory reading of it. By arousing sectarian and anti-religious prejudices and passions it would interfere with the efforts of Bible societies and religious bodies which are trying to induce people to read the Bible. Moreover, the clause in the bill which releases from the Bible class the children of those who do not want them to read it defeats the main purpose of the promoters of the measure. Anyone who wants to read the Bible can get it. It is the cheapest book on the market. No one who really wants it need be without it for lack of the price. Its voluntary study is being pro- moted'the world over by energetic individuals and organizations. The conditions for its being read more and more by increasing numbers of people are ideal and the only danger to its growing dif- fusion lies in the folly of legislators who labor under the delusion that popularity waits on compulsion and that spiritual culture can be forced by law. Until the pay-as-you-enter feature was added to the Olive and Page cars the windows on the right side were left free of obstruction. But when the front and rear traps were put on,assurance was made trebly sure by running bars along these windows. The object, it has been gravely said, was to prevent anybody getting into the car through the window without paying. But neither can they get out. This is an example of “expert” management.

COST AND GAIN OF GOOD ROADS. It is estimated that under the provisions of the Hodges good road bill, now before the Kansas Legislature, the cost would average $1 per acre for good farming land. Commenting on this the Kansas City Star says: “& single piece of good roads might not be worth even this smal] investment. But a system of good roads, giving farm after farm transportation fa- cilities at all seasons of the year, when the prices of products are highest as well as when they are lowest, would be worth many times the average outlay.” This is a concise statement of the argument em- ployed in these columns ever since the good roads movement was started. The Majors bill now before the Missouri Legis- lature proposes to authorize the counties to levy an additional tax of 25 cents for road building. If the counties work systematically, and in ¢co- operation this will give Missouri roads equal to those of any other State in the Union within 20 years, and the annual cost is estimated at only from 7 1-2 to 10 cents an acre per annum. By systematizing the work with reference to 4 continuous work for a number of years, the richer counties can get their roads immediately,. while the more distant counties will build them as they can pay for them. It needs no argument to prove {that goed roads will enormously enhance the value of farm lands. The cost is a negligible quantity compared with the gain. This has been the experience of all communities which have built good roads. = = ™ '_— = Ex-Gov. Hoch of Kansas has taken the lec- ture platform trying to prove that “man is abso- lute master of himself.” That ig true as truth itself. And just as soon as man knows that it is true it will be true. The reader can elucidate the paradox Yor himself.

= = = ——— SELLING WITNESSES. _ The prosecution in the Carmatk-Cooper murder trial paid Dr. McPheeters Glasgow a fee and em- ployed him to testify. Discovering that his con- clusions would not support the prosecution with- out reserve and finding that he would testify only on condition that he be permitted to: tell the whole truth and his conclusions therefrom, they “sold” him to the defense. That is, the defense agreed to pay him his fee and other charges which he had incurred in his investigation and put him on the stand to testify in behalf of the Coopers. What theory of ‘ethics’. underlies the “sale” of the expert by the State. It would appear that the Attorney-General wanted testimony not to bring out the truth, but to convict the accused. Is it the duty of the prosecution in criminal. cases

to convict, right or wrong, or to ascertain the real facts? Whatever be the “ethics” of crim- mal law practice, plain men will nof believe that &@ prosecutor should suppress or reject all testi- mony which does not help to hang the prisoner.

SS eto THE OUTRAGE OF THE HALLEN ARREST. The maxim that “a man’s house is his castle,” which, for a thousand years, has been one of the

basic principles of constitutional liberty, was out-

rageously violated when the detectives broke inte} Miss Hildegarde Hallen’s house without a war-. And the action | rant and placed her under arrest. was cruel, wanton\and unnecessary, as well a illegal. She could not have escaped had she de- sired to do so. It does not matter whether Miss Hallen ‘s guilty or innocent. Her right to immunity from arrest in such circumstances was legally complete, and the detectives were themselves lawbreak- ers. The incidental outrages which attended the ar- rest deepen the indignation which it excites., And it is noteworthy that the charge laid at police headquarters was “suspected forgery.” If the police imagine that they can, with impunity, break into a house, drag a person out of bed and take their prisoner away to the police station on mere suspicion, it is high time they were taught what their authority really is. And there is no better way to teach the lesson than to apply to the offenders the butt end of the law. Men who are employed to maintain and enforce the law should not be allowed to break it without being made to feel its weight on their own backs. hi uh re A persistent fighter like Albert T. Patrick wins public sympathy soon or late, no matter what the merits of his case may be. The question of his guilt aside, he is the object of general admiration for his intellect and force of charac- ter, which no amount of ill-luck seems able to weaken.

oe = = NOT A JOKE. Senator Dowell, a Missouri Senator, has put himself on permanent record in support of the McAllister “Bed Sheet bill,” which has passed engrossment towards its final passage. He sup- ports it on the ground that it is not a joke, but a most excellent sanitary regulation for. hotels. It is certainly not a joke. It is a symptom of absurb incompetence in progress towards com- plete unfitness for the serious business which concerns grown-up men, with minds fit for the serious business of a great State, in which hundreds of thousands of people, old and young, will be helped by justice and hurt by injustice. Men are elected senators because they are Su))- posed to be grown-up men, old enough to have the use of reason and thus able to find the rea- sonable ways through which alone those who are younger, always in a majority, may be treated with equal justice and secured in equal opportu- nities. When instead of this, we have accumulating symptoms of deliberate absurdity and triviality, it would be an insult to the younger generation in Missouri, whose rights are thus betrayed by incompetence, to say that this incompetence is boyish or puerile. It is far worse. It is im- becile, Putting the machinery of government and law in a great State to uses which make the State seem trivial and absurd is a degrading folly.

= = re The Japanese poetry we are getting as samples does not look deadly. But then the little Japs themselves do not look fierce enough to justify building many $8,000,000 not-afraids to offset ‘te British Dreadnaughts. a i i A : THE “CURVE OF MISERY.” Taking France as a text, a publicist in Kansas City argues that ‘‘the sum total of happiness de- pends rather on the quality than ‘the quantity of population.” The proposition seems to prove itself. Under it, the argument shows a small number of people, compared with a much larger number elsewhere who are averaging their “hap- piness” along a scientific “curve of misery,” drawn across a table of graphic statistics, to show that as one generation introduces the next in the country, the community or the family, the curve of misery increases for both generations as their numbers increase. As applied to conditions in Missouri and the neighboring states the argument this is intended to make convincing is that it is the part of safety to keep down population so as to be on the safe

| side. The curve of misery must be explained before this idea is accepted. In every country now and in every historic period an increasing population has beer® followed by an increase in everything needed for life and also in the comforts and lux- uries of life. When the curve of misery appears, it does not prove that more people are wretched because they grow more idle or undeserving. The argument of the curve is that they work harder. They increase their own poverty, it is alleged, while increasing the wealth of the country or the community. Even if this were true, it woukd not prove that Missouri and the states around it are suffering from the results of population. It is a strong argument in favor of “quantity and quality” in population. The “quality’’ least needed, on the graphic showing, is that which does most to make life hard for ‘the rest in making it easy for itself,

COUNTRY LIFE CAROL. In the Spring a renter’s fancy lightly turns te thoughts of buying, and he prospects in the suburbs, where the agents are all lying in the scrub oaks with decoys out and their lusty callers squawking like the country place, with garden, of which he is fond of talking. There are seasons when their quacking would but shoo him up the higher, and @ second look would make him a seem whole lot less a buyer than a bum- ble-bee or something quite as small and growing smaller that had taken fright at someone's futile ef- forts with the caller. But in Spring he yearns for Nature, and his head is filled with visions of an orchard and a garden where he’ll raise his.own provisions, of a well beside the milkhouse, and a tempting old gourd dipper, and he flies so low, by thunder, you can: shoot him with a flipper.

SAUNDERS. UWRING the somewhat lack-luster showing of the past week in matters theatrical, local lovers of music enjoyed a genuine treat in the sev- enth evc.ing concert of the Symphony society season, given at the Odeon last Thursday night. . ' The novelty of the program was the presentgéfon, for the first time in St. Louis of Laidow’s tone-picture, ‘““Baba-Yaga,”’ descriptive of a Russian fairy tale, in which waa scored with great imaginative power the flight of a Slav witch through the deep forest in which she made her evil home. The cemposition was notable for a‘certain effective wildness of strain in its moment of climax, also for a singularly colorful employment of. the wood winds in attaining its greatest pictorial impressiveness, and unmistakably scored a success with its Odeon audience. It looked for a time as. if Con- ductor Zach would be fairly compelled to repeat the offering, so prolonged was the applause, but he remained wisely obdurate and was finally permitted 0 pass on to the program's concluding number, the ‘Tristan and Isolde’’ “prelude and ‘finale,. admirably interpreted. ' Delightful, too, were the three Brahms Hungarian Dances, played with ex- ‘quisite spirit and full of the strange blending of gayety, melanchof and bar- baric “dash” so characteristic of Czardas. scores. : “of Beethoven's imposing ‘‘Eroica” symphony, so finely presented by Mr. Zach’s players as again to impress upon St. Louis minds the truth of our home orchestra’s masterful development in interpretative art. This splendid composition demands. .conductorship and execution of the high- est quality, and its demand has rarely been more competently met than on last Thursday evening. The great symphony was made to assume its-fullest tonal aspect of epic majesty, each of its four movements being properly so handled as: to emphasize in a rare degree the vast and overwhelming cumu- lative power of the work. I do mot remember ever to haVe heard the tre- mendous dramatic contrast between its poignant second phase, the funeral march, and }ts lilting third, the vivacious scherzo of such exquisitely melo- dious gayety of spirit, so convincingly brought out. It was in this period of the interpretation that the audience seemed held as if spellbound, and I have never more willingly conceded the value of Mr. Zach’s leadership than here. The proof of masterly direction was too plain to be denied. 2 UT the most memorable and satisfying offering of the evening was that The program’s opening number, the lively overture to Mozart's . “Marriage of Figaro,”” wag most joyously given. WD on Wednesday evening of this week we come to the great Coliseym concert in which Ignace Jan Paderewski will be heard for the first time with our Symphony Orchestra, and by an audience numerically greater than any to which the marvelous Polish pianist has ever played thus far tn his brilliant career. It would be difficult to overestimate the bearing upon music development in St. which I-dwelt so fully last Sunday that further comment along the same lines is of rare musical quality, its Paderewski numbers are of exquisite temperamental, congeniality, and the Symphony players have an exceptional opportunity totacquit themselves with the greatest distinction. The program as a whole mpkes an Irresistible ap- peal, and not the least of its virtues is that it offers musical delights appreci- importance of this event in its -able.by the melody-loving multitudes as well as by those of highly cultivated taste. Remembering, too, that this is the only occasion upon which it has been possible to hear Paderewski at popular prices, I should not be surprised to éee the Coliseum crowded to the doors next Wednesday evening. —_— ere stage pendulum will swing, owing to the popular protest against a certain offenstveness that has been injected into the lighter theatrical offerings, don't let’s be too fearful of the ultimate outcome. It's a mistake, anyway, to believe that the great playgoing public does not appreciate the serious in drama. Take the Shakspearean plays, .Surrendered to the frivo- lous than .wé, there has just been a greac and tremendously successful Shak- spearean revival—financially successful, mark you, as well as artistically. At , the ‘Lydcéim Theatér in the British capital a series of Shakspearean productions ‘at popular prices Is under full headway, netting a fortune for the managers, and ‘‘Hamiet,” presented at the Shaftesbury by Mr. H.

Irving, has done sucn WW "sias we are all wondering just how far away from bright triviality the » a big business that extra matinees are necessitated and a further offering of The Bard's works has been decided upon. In New York, with the New Theater preparing for its formal opening next season with the Shakspearean drama -interpreted by a company of which J ulia Marlowe and Edward Hugh Sothern ' will be the leaders, Klaw & Erlanger have also joined with William A. Brady in mapping out an opposition Shakspearean revival that shall present Robert B. Mantell under exceptionally brilliant conditions. This surely doesn’t look like Gentle Will is under the Great Taboo to any appreciable extent. In the meantime, I haven't the slightest doubt but that there will be plenty of good, bright, wholesome comedy. The stage dirt is all that’s to be swept out, you know—not anything of value. i Louis a feature of the occasion upon - for in- . ra Uae Ss, lanes. en en PLAYS NOW ON LOCAL STAGES Danish dancer from the Empire | Theater, London, makes her first St. Louis appearance this evening, when F.

I was greatly troubled with dandruff and falling hair.~ I tried many advertised hair preparations and various prescriptions, but they all signally failed; many of them made my hair greasy, so it was impossible to comb it or do it up properly. I think that many of the things I tried were positively injuri- ous, and from my own experience I can not too strongly caution you against using prep- arations containing wood alcohol and other poisonous substances. I1 believe they injure the roots of the hair. After my long list of failures I finally found a simple prescrip- tion which I used with most remarkable re- sults, and I can ,unhesitatingly state that it is heyound doubt the most wonderful thing for the hair I have ever seen. Many of my frients have also used [it and obtained won- derfiil éffects therefrom. It not only is a powerful stimulant ‘to the growth of the hair and for restoring gray hair to its naturel color, bat It is equally good for removing dandruff, giving the hair life and brilliancy, etc.,‘and for the purnose of keeping the scalp in first-class condition: it also makes the halr mucn easter to comb and arrange in nice form. I bave a friend who used it two months, and during that time it not onlv stopped the falling of his hair and wonderfully increased its growth, but it -pracfically restored all his gray hair to its " natural color, Yow can obtain the ingredients for making this wonderful preparation from almost any Gruggist. The prescription is ax follows: Ray rum, 6 ons.; Menthol crystals, one-half drachm: Levona de Composee, 2 ozs,; To- Kelon perfume, 1 to 2 tecspoonfyls. , Apply night and morning; rub thoroughly into the sealpy Go to your druggist and ask for an eight- bold, Mrs. Wagner and daughter and Mr. Johnson, with his granddaugnter.

First Lady of Land Begins at Front Door in Changing Order of Things. , By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 6—It is not hard even for a superficial observer to see that there is a new administration in power. At the White House itself the policemen who have been door- tenders have given way to the negro butler and footman. The policemen stand back of the menials and perform their proper function, that of being on guard against intruders who might not care to recognize the authority of the butler and footman. The white ushers, detailed to show visitors where they should go, have also been put into the background and there is a belief among them that they will be wholly displaced with ordinary servants. Down at the White House office the changes are even more noticeable. Maj. Charles D. A. Loeffler, who has been in the public service more than fifty years and doorkeeper for the President ever since the middie of Grant’s first term, is not on duty outside the Presi- dent’s door. He is about 71 years old, and when President Roosevelt went out ef office he was relieved from active duty. President McKinley put him into

The Tafts are systematic and practical people and early risers. Breakfast at the White House is to be served soon after 8 o’clock. With the young mem- bers of the family away at school and ‘Mr. Taft’s known excrusion of luncheon from his daily program, Mrs. Taft will be the only member of the family to observe the midday meal heur. The wife of the President will choose this form of informal entertainment for her special frierds and when there is not a party of this kind Mrs. Taft will, in many instances, have tuncheon served in her own apartments. Family Customs at Dinner. ‘Dinner will be served at 7 o’clock on ordinary eccasions and the hospitality which marked the life of the family in their former official capacity will be affected in no degree by their change of position. Mrs. Taft is a skilled musician and a Piano will be put in her apartments. In phony Society, one ef the best-known organizations of its kind in the United States. She is a keen music critic and is more interested in its study than any other branch of art. — Miss Helen Taft, only daughter of the President and Mrs. Taft, is now a stu- dent at Bryn Mawr. When ss Taft first came to the notice of the people of Washington she was a mite of little girl and chum of Ethel Roosevelt, younger daughter of the former Pres- ident and Mrs. Roosevelt. The young- sters were seen at the matinee, sitting together down in the orchestra chairs, each with her hair in a “pigtail’’ down her pack, topped off with a big bow.of black ribbon. Like her mother, Miss Taft is not get- ting her first knowledge of White House life at this time. Her strong friendship for Miss Roosevelt made the White House seem like a second home to her and she has had many a romp through the big corriders with the White House children. Miss Taft and Miss Roose velt attended the National Cathedral

the old days out in Cincinnati Mrs. Taft school for girls together. Miss Taft left thére to go to the Baldwin schoo} the preparatory schoel for Bryn Mawr, while Miss Roosevelt left shortly after: ward to continue her studies at home under private tutors. Helen Taft last Fall won the Pennsylvania prize, $309 for having passed the best entrance ex- amination for Bryn Mawr. When news of this was brought to her father in his office at the War Department he beam- ed with joy and said: “I would rather know that than be President.” Another Year in School Heleh Taft has been called “bobkish,” because she is fond of her studies and reads a great deal. But that doesn’t mean that she is not full of life and the joy of living. When. her father was nominated, when he was elected, and again when he was inaugurated, Helen Taft did not lose her self-poise in any degree. She was mighty happy over ali three events but it has not turned her head. She will remain at Bryn Mawr at least another year after this and will then come to Washington, in all probability to take her place in the long list of White House debutantes. When she

T. E. Stone, whom President McKin- ley made chief usher at the White House, has been placed in charge of the President’s door. Secretary Fred W. Carpenter brought William M.

Hans has been trans- ferred to: the Interior Department. Two liveried footmen are on duty at the main door of the White House, and stand out as the first of a series of important changes to be made by Mrs. Taft in the manner of the conduct of the houséhold end of the Executive Mansion. Mrs. Taft, like all orderly housewives, began at the front door. She brought over a housekeeper froin New York, and henceforth the affairs of the inner home life of the Chief Ex- ecutive and his family will be entirely in feminine hands. Mrs, Taft Is Very Practical, Mrs. Taft has been known throughout the official career of her husband as a practical housekeeper. She knows all about how to cook and how to house clean, but she does not actually do the work herself, as many fanciful writers would have the public believe. But she knows what is what, so to speak, and as in her former home in K street, where everything was spick and spn and run on a solid system, she is going to make the White House over into.a home ‘to her own liking and she is go- ing to be right on hand when the changes are taking place. The two footmen who will guard the White House entrance are old servants of the Taft family, who have been taught the ways of tne household and will be able to dispense thetfr duties quite as smoothly in the grand foyer of the White House as they did in the more primitive home of the family in K street. They have taken the place of twe policemen whose presence at the front door has always given that en- trance to the White House a semi-pub- lic atmosphere, and it is with the object of resolWing that part of the Mansion into a private home that the blue- coated attendants have been withdrawn. Within the next week or ten days Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft will have “made over’ their respective apartments. according to their indi- vidual tastes. The furniture of the Taft family has been taken out of storage, where it has reposea since the family left Washington last July. Much of this is rare bits ef furniture and bric-a- brac which members of the family have picked up all over the world. The en- tire appointments in one of the smaller drawing rooms of the Taft hdme in K street are teakwood, which were brought from Japan and which Mrs. Taft stored here last summer rather than take the risk. of moving veg things out to Cin- cinnatl. Getting Things Up on Home Basis. Mrs. Taft’s boudoir furniture and the little knick-knacks which made her own room 80 attractice has been moved into the White House, as nave those of the other members of the family. Chaniie has already chosen his room, facing the monument to the south of the White House, and his books and souvenirs are being put into piace according to the fancy of the youngest member of the family. Mrs. Taft has a fine collection of fine linens and china and this has also been moved over to the White House, al- though it is not likely either the family linens er china will be used except for private entertainments.

Per- haps .the fact that it was perched over a rather pretty face and that beneath the rim peeped a fringe of fetching blonde curls, had something to do with the favorite comment. _ A mere man’s description would run like this: Made of straw, top just like / an inverted bucket, and about the size of an ordinary one, perhaps ten inches hth. From either side at the bottom ‘were visors, attached helmet-like.

WIVES ON THE PAYROLL A, In State Threatened With Deficit and Legitimate Employes Not Paid.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Pagt- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, March 6.—More than 100 clerks (‘‘private secretaries’’) are on the anxious seat as a result of the resolutions adopted by the Demo- cratic Senate and the Republican House of Representatives to eliminate the cler- ical force graft. At least that number has enjoyed the luxury of drawing pay from the Statte without more work than the effort of Ccrawing their salary warrants. Secretary McClintic of the Senate is expected to make public this week the list of clerks whom the various sen- ators have appointed to clerical posi- tions. At no time has the Republican majority in the House attempted to hold back any facts with regard to the clerical force, although its leaders have deplored the necessity for making pub- lic this’ particular information. Wives and Relatives in Graft. The fact that 30 members of the House and about one-half of that number in the Senate are carrying their wives and other relatives on the pay- rolls has caused a ¢ommotion among: their country constituents. Taking up the first stories of the cler- ical force scandal, printed exclusively in the Post-Dispatch, the country newspa- pers, Democratic and Republican, called on their representatives in the Legisla- ture to take immediate action. Letters of complaint also began to come to those members who have added a considera- ble part of their families to the State’s burden of debt. The extravagance of the Legislature was accentuated by the fact that the State is now confronted with a deficit of probably $1,000,000. While the Assembly has paid its own salaries and the: salaries of clerks and other legislative @xpenses promptly, no action has been forthcoming in reference to the employes of the State’s educa- tional institutions who have not drawna cent in wages since last August. These employes include teachers, janitors and scrubwomen, and the total amount due them is $360,000. Violates Constitution. The State Constitution provides that the Legislature shall provide for the needs of all State institutions before making allowance for its own poyrolls. All that is necessary to pay the State institution employes is a,resolution of the Assembly instructing the State Aud- itor to do so. Auditor *Gordon says there is $2,000,000 in the general revenue fund and he is’ ready to pay off the State employes whenever the Legisla- ture supplies him with the necessary authority. Republican and Democratic members say it is now up to the Clerical Force Committee in each branch to discharge all unnecessary clerks. Representatives Emerson (Glay County), Griffith (Bates County), Silver (St. Charles County), Sosey (Marion County) and Senators Bradley, Chinn, Wilson and Hall, say the exposures already have produced a wholesome effect. With the exception of, Senator Bradley, none of those mentioned has any part of his family drawing pay from the State. : “It looked very much as if the House was going to extremes in the matter of clerical hire,’’ said Representative Em- erson. “The Post-Dispatch struck while the iron of patronage was hot. “It brought out a good many sparks, too, and caused a scurrying of people from the galleries to the cloakrooms.”’ Representative Silver said: ‘‘I got lots of amusement out of reading the cleri- cal force stories, possibly because they didn’t affect me in the slightest. I am a bachelor, but even if I were married [ don’t think I would put my wife on the payroll. “I am not criticising those who did, however. If the relatives of members who are on the payroll are required to work I guess the State will lose noth- Senator Bradley: to be congratulated. Suggested Four Clerks. Senator Wilson: I ‘shave five clerks, but I am entitled to six. When we made the apportionment I supposed the Legis- lature would attend to the revision of the statutes. The fact that this con- tract has been let to outsiders, probably reduces the necessity for so many clerks. At the beginrng of the session 1 suggested that four ought to be enough for any Senator, but I was not sus- tained. I can't blame the Post-Dispatch for going into this matter. The State's finances concern every taxpayer and we ought to guard them as zealously as eur own. ‘BURTON HEADS THE COMMISSION The Post-Dispatch is

ad et 4 “The Men All: Admire, but the Wom- _ * which has en Desire to Take the Gay Headgear and ‘Duck It. Special to the Post-Dispatch, we NEW YORK, March 6.—Probably the inort. astonishing piece of millinery reached port this season ‘was worn by a young. woman who ap- peared on the promenade deck of the liner Lusitania just before the lines were made fast to the pier. From the mo- ment she emergec from her stateroom, with Miss Liberty beaming on her, she was the center of interest. @ Women passengers, after careful scrutiny, pronounced it “shocking.” Some of the men thought differently and openly said it was very becoming. Per- haps .the fact that it was perched over a rather pretty face and that beneath the rim peeped a fringe of fetching bionde curls, had something to do with the favorite comment. _ A mere man’s description would run like this: Made of straw, top just like an inverted bucket, and about the size cf an ordinary one, perhaps ten inches high. From either side at the pottom were visors, attached helmet-like. In the center front a peculiar orna- ment five inches in diameter, being a large, flat stone of some description, surrounded by three rows of beads, each about three-quarters of an inch in di- ameter. These beads set close together and follow around the lower “portion of the structure like a band. From the Ornament in front trails a huge os- ' trich feather, along the starboard side

and aft, like the smoke streaming from a steamer’s funnel. ‘The wearer said she was Mrs. C. F. Higham and that she lived in Norfolk, Va. | “The hat is from a design I drew my- self,””’ she said. ‘The ornament is a ‘“abichon.’ There have heen many de- regatory remarks about it since I came cn board, but mostly by women, so it may not be so bad after all.’’

ARSHIP-PLAK Joha W. Harrison, Millionaire Manufacturer, Considers Aerial Navigation Easy.

MODEL SAILED AWAY

It Was Perfect Success and When Started Never Came Back Home,

a Aerial navigation is not a very diffi- cult problem, according to John W. Harrison, millionaire manufacturer cf 7 Kingsbury place Mr. Harrison, in iis offices in the Third National Bank Building, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he had lan, upon which he has worked for re than four years, for an airship that would: also float on water, and he says he is sure the ma- chine will be successful, because he made a model of it and the model worked perfectly. “I know it is practicable and will work successfully,”” Mr. Harrison said, ‘‘be- cause I made-a model some time ago which did all I thought it would, and more. The only trouble with it was that it sailed completely away, and I never found it or any trace of it.’’ ‘Model Sailed Out of Sight. Mr. Harrison made his model along the lines-upon which he has planned a bigger machine. It was two feet long and operated by a big clock spring. He liberated the airship from the roof of his home, and it flew away, He watched it until it was out of sight, and as far as he could see it the contrivance did not drop or show any defect. Mr. Harrison fully described his con- trivance. The machine is to be built of aluminum, the roof and \wings to be of oiled silk. It is to be provided with two propellers, one for air and one for water navigation. The body is boat-shaped, af aluminum. The propellers are to be of aluminum. Aluminum columns on the boat will support tiie roof, which is to jbe of oiled silk, surrounded by huge, rigid wings of oiled silk. Dimensions of Airship. The dimensions are to be as follows: The aluminum boat is to be, 54 feet long, the silk roof to be 2 feet long and the wing area to be 75 feet long. The wings are to ve % feet long, with six feet between their ends. This would make a wing area. 75 feet long by 56 fee: wide. The air propeller to have 18-foot wings and the water propeller 2-foot wings. The machine is to be operated by a 64-horsepower steam en- gine, weighing 750 pounds. ‘This ma- chine, by Mr. Harrison’s calculations, would have a 2100-pound lifting power. The machine which flew away was a model of this proposed airsijyp. two feet in length. It was built just like he proposes to built the big one. Attention Was Distracted. He never made another model, but had an engine made for a big machine. About that time, however, he says other business distracted his atten- tion. Mr. Harrison sold the engine to a Japanese servant, and the Japanese went to New York, saying he would consult the Japanese Consul there and try to construct an airship on Mr. Har- rison’s ideas, hut the Japanese has not since been heard from. mee HUNDREDS GET FREE TEST TREATMENT FOR RUPTURE Stuart’s Plaster-Pads are a wonderful new treatment for .rupture, and they have cured the worst forms in the pr'i- ‘vacy of the home, without hindrance from work, and at slight expense. Be- ing self-adhesive they hold without straps, buckles or springs; no truss. Demonstrator Babcock, who is au- ‘thority on matters pertaining to rup- ture, wil. be at the Jefferson Hotel, room 128, Sunday, March 7, and Monday, March 8, from 10 a. m. to * p. m., and wll be pleased to give ruptured people of St. Louis expert examination, advice and test treatment aosolutely free of charge. Mr. Babcock leaves for Eng- land after this visit, so don't fail to ca:l and see him; workingmen call Sunday. kk =, REFUSES TO ENJOIN LID RAIDS Judge Williams Says Suit for Dam- ages Is Proper Recourse.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. DANVILLE, lll, March 6.—The Keily Coal Co.’s mines near this city were sold this afternoon On mortgage foreclosure for $975,000 cash. A representative of the company redeemed its interests. The mortgage was foreclosed by the estate of the late Michael Kelly of this city, of whom the Kelly Coal Co. purchased the mines. With their sale it is an- nounced that the mines which have been closed down for months, will be re- opened next week. Negotiations are now pending to re- open the‘local properties of the Deering Coal Co., a $5,000,000 Dealware corpora- tion, for which W. C. Niblack, presi- dent of the Chicago Title and Trust Co., was appointed receiver in the Federal Court at Chicago, Thursday. Follow- ing a meeting of the steckholders with R. R. Hammond of Chicago, president of the campany, and Receiver Niblack, here yesterday, it was announced that these mines had been closed for two weeks, but would likely be reopened within the next week. Means Werk for Many. This means that 7500 men employed in these and the Kelly mines, who have been idle, will again be given employ- ment. The present difficulties of the Deering company, it is said, grows out of an ef- fort to sell the mines to the Steel Trust. It is known that an effort was made to sell the mines to this corporation and that its officials visited the district to inspect the preperties. The price asked, the steel corporation claimed, was ex- orbitant, and it refused to buy. Fellewing this decision on Feb. 1, the Deering company declined te longer de- liver coal to the steel corporation on a 50-year contract, then in force feur years, Claiming that the C. & E. I. HR. R. Co.’s freight rate was too high and that the contract was not binding. Fellewing this refusal, the Illinois Steel Ce., the American Steel and Wire Ce., the American Steel and Tin Plate Ce. and ether subsidiary companies be- lenging te the United States Steel Cer- peration case about fer other marts te purchase coal. Received Coal as Fermerly. They have been receiving coal at their plants as formerly from other ceal cempanies, paying eften abeve the mar- ket price and charging the margin to the Deering Coal Ce. in the way ef damages. These damage claims, it is said, new aggregate appreximately $215,000, accord- ing te representatives of the steel cor- The Deering company, hew- ever, deny their legality and charges cempanies have con- tributed largely te destroying its credit. The ceal company, it claims, is selvent, having a large outstanding indebted- ness. Consequently certain ef the steck- holders, fearing that the steel company would garnishee this indebtedness, asked fer the receiver, thinking thus to avoid placing ‘the affairs of the coal company in the hands of hestile interests. FOUR ST. LOUIS NUNS WILL CELEBRATE THEIR GOLDEN JUBILEE SOON Thirty Novices Will Take the Veil This Month at Same Time. Four nuns of the Catholic Sisterhood of St. Joseph will celebrate next Fri- day the fiftieth anniversary of their sisterhood. On March 19, 1858, these four women became sisters of this order. They then entered the convent of St. Joseph in Carondelet and they are still connected gith the same convent. They are: Sister Mary of Jesus, Sister Mary As- sissian, Sister Winifred and Bister Na- tivity. The celebratien will be strictly of a spiritual nature and private. Only the relatives of the sisters and a few dig- nitaries and priests of the church: will attend. The same day 9 novitiates will be ad- mitted te the sisterhood in this convent and that ceremony will be ef a more public nature and there will be a re- ception and solemn ceremonies. Sister Mary of Jesus, one ef the four sisters who will celebrate the golden jubilee of their sisterhoed, was Miss Sarah Walsh. She was 17 years old when he became a nun 50 years ago. She was born in Ceunty Mayo, Ireland, and came te, St. Levis when a child. Since she became a nun she has been stationed all of the time in St. Louis and in Kansas City, with the exception ef a short time durmg the yellow fever epidemic in Memphis during the 70's, when she velunteered as a nurse and toek care of the sick. She is now a teacher of foreign lahguages and music in St. Joseph Orphan lum in Caren- delet. ©

WASHINGTON, March 6.--In_ the midst of a hard snowstorm, the train biaring homeward the - ost-Dispatch in- auguration party of school children left Washington at 4 p. m., and will arrive in St. Louis at 6:30 p. m. Sunday if the train is on time. Weather indications, however, point to delays which may make the train late in reaching St. Louis. The weather, which has been dis- agreeable during much of the time the party was secing the inauguration of President Taft and sightseeing in Wash- has not detracted from the en- joyment of. the party, and when the train left the boys and girls were on the rear : vestibule, shouting and waving g00d-by to Washington, where, they all voted, they have had the time of their lives. The last day in Wash ington was spent in sightseeing, the party starting in with the Washington monument in the morn- ing and fiinishing with the Corcoran Art Gallery in the afternoon.

HOW T0 MOLD CHILD'S SOUL BEFORE BIRTH —"

bd a ie Perfect Unison of Thought by Parents Necessary to Frevent More Vacillating- Persons Cum- bering Earth, Says Dr. Ellison.

By Leased Wire From the New York Burean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW ‘ORK, March 6—Dr. Eugenie R. Elisou is going to incorporate a School to teach mothers how to control their children by hypnotism when neces- Sary and by calm and peaceful sugges- tion at all times. The school is not formally opened yet, but Dr. Elisou has it all mapped out. She is a graduate physician, has Studied abroad, is unmarried and 42, and not ashamed of either. The pre-natal work is the main thing, asserts Dr. Elisou. “If necessary,’’ she says, “I would hypnotize young men and women during their courtship and honeymoon. I would make them think and read, and see things that would develop the best that is in them, that their offspring might be better than they. “Suppose,” she continued, “that we have a young man and, young woman, both physically and mentally. normal, who care for each other as they should and who have worthy ambition to bring into the world a child who will far outstrip their own achievement. They can cdo it., But they should know long before the birth of that child what they want it to be. “They should .know that before they are married and they should be in per- fect ‘accord on*the subject. And they should not change their minds, for that would confuse a‘soul: and ‘unbalance a human mind before it had a chance to develop itself. For instance, if they should first elect to become the parents would rather raise a great banker they would get neither. of a great Artist and then decide they } The issue would be} ¥ ig one more helpless, ear wen: mor-| /} superficial, and .will’ have no pre-natal influence whatever. “A yo ung woman in the privacy of her own bath can get more, of ne. inspira- tion of the ‘great sculptor than she can from gazing upon the marble figure if she is of ‘the right sort to be entrusted with the responsibilities. of motherhood. So let the work begin with the chil- dren that are. not yet born. If we save them, part of the rroblem of schools to teach mothers how.to control, the chil- dren’ that are born will. not be neces- sary. “However, as. ‘the ideal has not been reached, the schools are necessary, . I hope to have one in which mothers may learn how to eliininate.- the anger and the brutdlity from their households. It is just as easy.to send a child to bed singing and oe as crying and grumbling.” 4 TODAY WILL BE WET ae DRY; CAULFIELO’S INAUGURAL “ADDRESS EAGERLY AWAITED ; oe wonder,” mused the sum-

The new revelations, of which Miss | Halien’s arrest was an incident, show that the forgery of Henry C. “Tulley'’s name to a $12,000 check, committed 4 few days before Fortner’s flight, was not, as was then supposed, merely . the desperate expedient of a hard- man. It was rather the final exploit in a series of felonies, which their per- petfator had\ shrewdly timed to tast as idng and yield him as great a prof- it as possible. ‘Further Developments Expected. Further develapmentg “are now e¢X- pected, and those conducting the in- vestigation will, not be surprised if the total of Fortner’s forgéries is muliti- plied. into the hundreds of thousands by the next few day's disclosures.

Herman Poock, a chef at Seventh and }Market streets, is a patient in the City Hospital, wearing about three inches of Silver wire in his right jaw. Poock does not like the wire, but the physi- Clans tell him not to worry about that, for it will be taken out of his jaw in a few weeks if he will exercise his will and keep still. The silver wire was placed in Poock’s jawbone yesterday by City Hospital physician in one of the most remark- able operations “ever performed at that institution. After suffering for four Weeks with a broken jaw, the result of an encounter with a highwayman, Poock's jaw was no nearer well than when he was taken tothe hospital, and yesterday. the physicians decided to ‘adopt more heroic treatment. The jaw Was wired together with silver, and is now on the road to successful healing. Blow Shattered Bone. On the night of Feb. 7, Poock, who is a chef in a restaurant at Seventh and Market streets, and lives upstairs, Was held up by a highwayman at Sev- @nith street and Cass avenue.

Examination by physicians at the City Dispensary, however, revealed the fact that a blow from the robber’s fist had shatteréd the right jaw of Poock. The man was sent to the City Hospital, and has been there ever since. : The jawbone was broken in two, and the jagged ends of the bone had slipped two inches from their normal position. An ordinary setting operation failed to knit the bones, and Poock was in ag- ony for two weeks. He could not talk and had great difficulty in swallowing enough liquid food to keep him alive. Next a plaster cast was tried. Thr bones were brought together and the right side of Poock’s face was encased in plaster. Another two weeks passed, Yesterday morning Dr. W. superintendent, . & and his as- * | sistants ‘determined “to resort to the “a wire operation.

This policy is.a continuation of that which has heretofore prevailed as the prerogative of the President not to be quoted in the public prints in any case except a formal statement. Mr. Taft would give no expression for publication on the subject of changing the date of the inauguration. William Loeb Jr., whose nomination to be Collector of the Port of New York was confirmed by the Senate today, was presented with a silver loving cup of heroic design by the official staff of the White House. - Members of the Taft family who are in the city dined at the White House to- night as the guests of the Presigent and Mrs. Taft.

SMITH’S ARREST OF GIRL BY FORMER’ LIEUT. GOV. CHARLES P. JOHNSON (A Recognized Authority on Criminal Law.) — LL provisions of the common law are that arrest shal! not be made and both the Federal and State constitutions specifically provide in the bill of rights that no arrest shall be made without a warrant except where the officer sees a misdeameanor committed, or where he has indisputable evidence that a felony has been eommitted and that the person is about to flee. N the arrest of Miss Hallen it is clearly evident that the purpose was to terrorize a d:fenseless girl in the hope that she would make some incriminating admission. To compel a person to testify against pene is strictly in violation of the law. “Police officers are never arrested for such an offense. understanding exists between the Cireuit Attorney's office and the An officer of the law is the duty of the Circuit Attorney to prosccute such cases. prosecutions. injured citizen, is in tedious and expensive litigation. damages in such cases is unsatisfactory. JOHNSON SAYS The purpose was to force her to Too clear an olice is not leas likelv to they are not immune under the Jaw We redress for an To sue for if ‘And the only This would not be necessary

and I repeated the formula: ‘Do you acknoledge the execution of this in- strumént to be your free act and for the use and purposes herein stated?’ Each time he answered: ‘I do.’ “IT never saw any of the papers, and never did anything but sign my name. He had everything else filled in. ‘Hie never absbolutely refused to let me see the deeds, but he acted like he did not want.me to see them, and as I was in his employ, I did not force the point. Never Wes Suspicious. ‘“T never noticed anything’: to make me suspicious at those timés, but. since the trouble came up, I can see. that the whole transaction was questionable. I am not a lawyer, though, and proba- bly would not have noticed anything wrong had 1 investigated. “On one occasion I did think about it, and asked him if it was all right for me to take the acknowledgement with- out Mrs. Fortner being present. He said that he had the right to act for his wife. That made it all right with

me, for I trusted him. I thought this complied with the ‘pérsonally appeared before me’ clause. “The other formula: knewledge, etc.,’ Mr. Fortner always went through with. Each time the transaction was the same. “The only time I ever gave tne mat- ter a second thought, I concluded that the other deeds were faulty, and he Was making a new one, or was making a copy for some purpose.” .Notaries public are appointed ‘Do you ac- and ‘commissioned by the Governor and the statutes place no limit on the number that may be appointed. The only quali- fication required is that the applicant shall be of age and a citizen of the Siate. Says He Received No lastructions, “T was given no instructions by Circuit Clerk who swore me in as to my dutiés-or as to what it was lawful or unlawful for me to uo,” Miss Hallen said. .°‘I suppose the stat- utes outline the duties of a n0o- tary. but. I did not read them. I did not suspect Mr. Fortner would have me do anything |wrong.’’ Mother Tells How Detectives Made Midnight Raid on Hallen Home Monday “and took my ‘The police were here last night,’’ said Mrs. Hallen, daughter to the police station after a violent scene in the house, and we con- sulted an attorney. He told us we were not compelled to admit the police to the house unless they had a war- rant. “On Friday night, about 7 o’clock, we saw several policemen:and men in citi- zen's clothes standing about the house. Not wishing to be bothered by them, nd remembering the legal advice we had received, we turned out the lights and. sat here in the dark all evening. 1! did not intend to let them in when they applied for admission, but preferred that they think we were not at home. “There was no one here except my daughter, my son, Gunnar, who. is 2) years old, and myself. I remained up all night after my son and daughter had retired. : ‘‘About 1 o'clock the police began ring- ing the bell. I did not answer it. They kicked on the door and it sounded as if they were breaking it down. They yanked at the knob and rattled it. Bev- eral'times I heard a voice call out: ‘If you don’t open this door we wil! smash it in.’ “At no time did anybody about having a warrant. “Frightened by the notse, my son and daughter got out of bed ind we all gathered in the middle room. My son put on a pair of trousers, but my daugh- ter had on only her night clothing. “My son went to the back door, not knowing there were policemen there, and opened it to look out. The moment the door was opened a small crack two policemen threw their weight against it. crushing the boy back against the wall, and they floundered into the room. “Chief of Detectives Smith was in al- most as soon aS they were. My daugh- ter was standing in the room in her Chief Smith tola@ her to hurry up and come on with him. ‘'Oh, I can’t,’ she sobbed. ‘I’m not dressed.’ ‘‘T guess the State will give you some clothes,” he replied. ‘The State supplies its criminals with clothes.’ “My daughter was crying, and insist- ed she did not want to go. We were pretty well excited,.and I don't recall all that was said, but finally oe Smith sald: ‘Hurry up, there. I can’t wait around here all night for you.’ “In the meantime the otaer policemen and detectives came fn. There were Chief Smith, two detectives and two po- licemen in the house and three other policemen were on the outside. “When we finally reslized that my daughter had to go with the police or be dragged out, I asked permission to go along, but Chief Smith replied: "No, we don’t want you.’ “In response to our protests, he had already declared: “‘*Your daughter is standing in the door of the Penitentiary. She is work- ing for a bunch of crooks and crimi- nals, and if she don’t come along peace- ably, we'll drag her out. We're tired of fooling around about this business.’ Kept Urging Girl te Hurry. “He gave my daughter time to dress, though he. kept urging her on all the time so that she did not take time to fix. her hatr, or do any more dressing than was absolutely necessary to make herself presentable. “The scene last night was very little say anything different from the scene last Monday | night. A detective came to the house early mm the evening and said he wanted Hilda to accompany him to the New- stead Avenue Polite Btation to make a statement to Chief Smith. “} did not know the man, and while. e showed a badge, I didn’t know dny- thig that if she. would not go, he would have to telephone to Chief Smith. “T told him that would be all right, and that -if Chief Smith eame out he could talk to herjall he pleased there in the house. ‘He went out to a eehone, and pees while Chief Smith’ and a young man came out in' an automobile. I was un- der the impression. he was going to take ‘her statement there in the house, and I believe he intended to do so un- til he saw her. *'@ must have become very angry whem he saw that a slip of a girl had refused ‘to comply with his orders. As boon as Re saw her hé began demand- ing that she go with him. We pro- tested that it was not right to take her over to the police station when they were -both there, and she was. willing to tell everything she’ knew. “That don’t make any difference,’ he said in a loud voice. ‘She has gut to go along with me. Look here, young woman, if you won't go of your own accord, we'll take you, do you under- stand that?’ ‘The girl kept hanging back, She finally edged over to the corner near the front window. Chief Smith took two or three steps and suddenly shot ‘out his arm to grab her. She stepped back still farther into the corner and my son stepped between her and the Chief to protect his sister. The Chief swung his arm around and knocked my son over against the window. The glass was not broken, but my son was thrown entirely off his balance. Smith Gets Impatient, “Chief Smith then told us he would not put up with any more delay, and that he intended to take Hildegarde no matter what we said. “When I asked him to give me per- mission to go with them, he took both of us in his automobile. When we reached the Newstead. Avenue Station he did not permit me to hear him questioning my daughter, but took her to a room upstairs and he left me downstairs. “We left the house about 9 o'’clovk and he questioned Hildegarde, imny daughter, until 12 before he sent ns home. Of course I only know what took place upstairs from what my daughter told me. “She said Chief Smith compelled her to write Mrs. Fortnef’s name several times in imitation of Mrs. Fortner’s writing, and that they compelled her to write something at their dictation !tn imitation of Mrs. Fortner’s writing. I don’t know what she wrote. “The windup was that they wanted her to go to Mrs. Fortner the next afternoon and endeavor to. find ut where Mr. Fortner was. They asked her to be a detective and assist them. She refused. “When Hildegarde came downstairs she was very nervous, and I am sure eS ren 4 - 4 FREE BOOK ABOUT CANCER CANCEROL has proved its merits in the treatment of can. cer.

must have had a very trying experi- ence with the detectives. “Hildegarde is a good girl and has always been very good to me, She is quiet and I don’t think ever did a wrong thing in her lHfe.

ter. YW, C. T.:U; Women The circumstances of the midnight ar- rest of Miss Hallen and the methods of the police in making it were the sub- Jects of widespread criticism yesterd the leaders in this criticism ‘ing mem- bers of the St. Louis W. C. T. U., who held a meeting yesterday afternoon and adopted resolutions condemning the ac- tion of Chief Smith in the matter. The meeting was held at the home of the secretary of the W. C. T. U., Mrs. Fannie D. Robb, % North Spring avenue. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, president of the W. C. T. U., was at the me®t- ing and helped to draft the resolutions censuring the police. The resolutions called upon the Board of Police ‘Commissioners to prohibit the recurrence of such a proceeding. They Suggested to the Board that it appoint a woman, whose duty it shall be to ac- company policemen hereafter when they Bo to the home of a.woman at night to arrest her. Mrs. Ingalls said: “We went this morning to Police Headquarters to see Miss Hallen and learn from her the story of her treat- ment at the hands of the police, which we are informed was undignified and even insulting, but Chief Smith. would not permit us to see her. He said he was responsible for the manner of her arrest and we thought he talked rather roughly to us. We protest most emphat- ically against gueh a proceeding by the police. “It seems to us that Jt was, unneces- sary for them to have gone to her house at night, but even if it had been neces- sary, they might have acted in a more dignified’ manner.”’ Chief Smith’s Statement. Chief of Detectives Smith, when first told. yesterday of criticisms of his ac- ticn, declined to make any statement, bot Géclared he knew what he was do- and that criticisms did not bother him in the least. “Wie went to the young woman’s home at i-c’clock in the evening,” said Chief Smith. “There were no lights in the hovse, and curtains were pulled down. There wes no evidence that anybody was ot home. “lI kad the men watch the house all evening. About 1 o'clock I saw a cur- tain raised a little! Then I knew that members of the family were at home, anc had tried to lead us to believe they were away. I then went into the house and placed the young weman un- der arrest. “The fact ‘that I am the subject of. crittism for one of my official acts does not bother me in the least. I iv.g, know what I am doing, and 1 know I} am iustified in what I have done.” A. C. Stewart, counsel for the 8t Loula Union Trust Co., who has direct- ed. the police search for Fortner, de- clined to tell the Post-Dispatch Ist night whether he considered the arf- rest of Miss Hallen without a warrent to be a legal arrest. “You had better ask your own atf- torneys that question,’ sald Mr. Stew- art. “if you want a legal opinion. I} have not looked the matter up, and tof give an opinion T would have to make a legal investigation and send you a bill for it. I do not care to discuss In any particular the arrest of Miss Hal- len.”” Gov.

To make this sale still more interesting. we have put in twenty-five cases of spreads and five hundred mattresses, secure] w onderfully cheap, so the ladies of St. Louis will find this sale very oppor- tune, coming at this season of the year, when housecleaning will be the order of the day:

O pening dienlay of beautiful ribbons Fashions in ribbons 1s spring and summer are more varied than ever, and they will be used in a multiplicity of ways, such as sashes, which will be worn mostly in the princess and empire styles by the big folks, and Dorothy Dainty fashion by the little tots, Soft messalines and double-faced satins and satin taffetas are the textures most popular for women’s sashes, but novelty ribbons will also be used in mostly light tones. The demand in plain ribbons for other purposes, such as for hats, hair bows and dress trimmings, ties, ete., will be generously divided between plain taffetas and satin taffetas, novelty designs and velvet ribbons. Our ribbon section is well equipped with all the different weaves as de- scribed above, also many exquisite novelties in fancy ribbons that are strictly new designs and direct from Paris; they are priced wonderfully low. The Directoire sash, with embroidered designs and fringed ends are very pretty and exclusive, and kre also Paris creations; these are priced | at $5.00 to $6.75 each. “Dorothy Dainty” matched sash and hair bow sets have come to stay, and are priced at $2.00 to $4.25 per set.

ILERK ADMITS ~ TAKING MONEY, SAYS BANKER ‘Contherce National to. De- mand Btodenmlty on William. "Gray's Bond.

AMOUNT STATED $1000

President Edwards States Thefts Wére Traced to Mail- ing Department.

“ A demand for $1000 indemnity will be made on the bonding company which signed thé bond for William Gray, 2 years old, clerk in the mailing depart- ment of the National Bank of Com- merce, according to a statement made last night by B. F. Edwards, president of the bank. Mr. Edwards said offi- cials of the bank had traced thefts of money from the bank’s mail to Gray and that the bank had lost about $1000 by thefts from its mail. The bank holds Gray responsible for the entire amount and Mr. Edwards says the young clerk admits taking part of the money. The accusation against Gray was made a week ago Friday. Following his confession that he had taken money from the mail, the young clerk was ar- rested by a Postoffice inspector called “gn by the bank. Gray remained in the custody of the postoffice authorities over night, but was released next day, the inspectors saying that, as the mon- €y was taken from mail already de- livered and in the hands of the bank, the case was outside their jurisdiction. President’s Statement, Mr. Edwards said the bank was nat geeking Gray's prosecution, adding: “We will demand reimbursement from’ the bonding company, however, and, ,jn my opinion, that concern will take steps to prosecute Gray.” Gray lives at 3945 Cook avenue. fnhb¢ young man had been employed by the National Bank of Commerce for four years. During that time he was in the mailing department. He had access to much: incoming as well as outgoing mail. The thefts, how- ever, have been from. incoming mail. ‘Country banks are accustomed to send mutilated currency and interest bonds ’ payable to bearer to the National Bank —@pondent, for redemption.

Complaints had been made to the pos- ‘ tal atthorities- in regard to’ the non- * arrival of valuable ‘mail matter, which correspondents later wrote had been addressed to the bank. But the culprit, who was taking the money thus disap- pearing could not be located. 7 Charged With Offense. Recently an out-of-town bank wrote that it was sending a package of money by the same mail. The letter went through all right, reaching the proper ‘ officer of the bank, but the package of currency failed to appear. The officials of the bank then began an investiga- tion and also notified the Postoffice. Be- fore an inspector arrived, however,, young Gray had been charfed with. the, offense and had confessed, says Mr. ~~ Bdwards, to several such acts, A Post-Dispatch reporter made an effort to locate young Gray, but did not succeed. A relative said the matter - had been satisfactorily settled.

OMAHA, Neb., March 6.—Omaha Pinkerton detectives and the New York police force are at war over the pear] necklace lost by Mrs. Otto C, Heinze in New York last fall and found in the possession of a Greek laborer in Oma- ha Thursday. The Pinkertons and the New York force beth want the credit .of having found the lost gems, and each force is using its utmost efforts to have the Omaha police turn the necklace over for restoration to the owner. The Pinkertons say they have been working on the case ever since the necklace disappeared, and declare they are authorized by Mr. Heimze to re- cover the gems. The New York police say the necklace was made away with from New York and that the city ferce has jurisdiction. In the meantime Mr. Heinze himself is supposed to be en route to Omaha tonight and will claim the necklace in person. Telegrams received from New York today say he has started West armed with the proper credentials to prove his ownership of the jewelry. Savis, the Greek, t held in Jail, but from reports from the New York po- lice will probably be liberated as soon as the jewels are placed in the hands of the ogvner. It is now believed that no case, can be made against him. SS Pee pene ae tana ae ... a: Downtown Fire Makes Quick Work of Structure and Stock of Goods.

EC CUSHMAN ONCE DIPLOMAT DES IN ITALY > Former Distinguished' Resident sof St. Louis Succumbs to Pneumonia.

TO MINISTER ITALY

Since Quitting Service of the Government Has Lived Much Abroad. St. Louis relatives yesterday received news of the death In Rome, Italy, Fri- day of EdWin C. Cushman, formerly a prominent resident here. Though 7 years old, Mr. Cushman was in good health until recently when he contracted pneumonia, and efforts of noted special- ists to save his life were in vain. Mr. Cushman was appointed United States Minister to Italy by President Lincoln in 1861 and served in that ca- pacity 41 years. Retiring from public service, he returned to his home in 8t. Louis, and engaged in the coal business. He also was associated with Charles McNair in. the Missouri Furnace Co. For,the last 15 years he spent much of his time abroad, and when in this country he lived on his beautiful es- tate, Crow’sgNest, at Bar. Harbor, Me. Nephew of Sculptress. Mr. Cushman was a nephew of Char- lotte Cushman, the famous sculptress, who, when he was left, an orphan, adopted him as her son. He spent much of his time with her in Rome, where she executed some of her most noted works. In the early ’@’s he married Miss Emma Crow, daughter of Wayman Crow, a St. Louis educator and phil- anthropist. Mrs. Cushman was a sis- ter of Mrs. Wayman C. McGreery, and a cousin of Mrs. W. H. Thomson, Mrs. E. J. Glasgow and James D. Hill, all of whom now live in St. Louis. Mr. Cushman had five sons: Way- man, Charles, Victor, Allison and Guy. Allison died several years ago. Charles is a professor at Bryn Mawr College, in Pennsylvania. Guy is a captain in the. Fourth United States Cavalrye Wayman is in New York, and his wife lives at the home of her mother, MPs.

Bride of . Yéar..on Southern Visit Writes She Will __Stand by Him.

Fnank M. farington, an Illinois Cen- tral railroad collector, held in the East St. Louis jail on a charge of embez- zling $2300, made-a statement last night, in which he ‘told in detail how he squandered his employers’ money in St. Louis handbooks, which are operated under the guise of cigar stores and barber shops: ©, store at 519 Pine street,’’ he said. “The man who took the bets there was known to mé:as Jim Cunningham. I began playing the horses in October, and I would bet $10 to $25 on a race, and sometimes I would make wagers on four races in a day. Cunningham would make the mémoranda on a little tab of paper. He ‘had two telephones over which he recehved the results of races at out-of-town tracks, He! would pay off the day following that on which the bets were made, taking the odds from a racing paper known as the “Form Sheet.” ‘After I had cénfessed my shortage, I went to Cunningham last Tuesday, accompanied by F. L. Miller, the agent of the American Surety Co., which was on my bond for $6000. I told Cunning- ham about my shortage and asked him to help me make it.good. He told me to call in the afternoon. When we re- turned Cunningham asked me who my companion was. I told him that Miller was just a friend. Cunningham then loudly declared that he had never seen me before and that if I had _ stolen money and bet it on the races I ought to be in the Penitentiary. Lost $400 in Barber Shop, “T had also lost about $400 in a bar- ber shop at the-west approach of Eads Bridge. I went there, but the barber said he couldn’t give me back any of my money. “I had been playing right along at Chris Brockmiller’s cigar store, at 518 Chestnut street, and had dropped $300 or $400 there. I had placed most of my bets there with a man I knew as Johnny.’ When I went to Brockmil- ler’s to see if he would help me out, I was told that he was in Tampa, Fla., and that ‘Johnny’ also was. out of town. “The largest bet I ever won was $150, and that was a frame-up. I was in Cuaningham’s place one day when he received the result of a race. He gave me the name of the horse. ‘Run down to the barber\and play -it,’ he said. I took his tip and played $25 with the barber, winning $150. The next day I lost it all on the races.”’ Cigar Salesman Gone. The store at 519 Pine street has been vacant since Wednesday. In the neigh- borhoog last night it was said that Jim Cunningham had not been seen there for several days. Recent efforts to convict handbook- makers in the St. Louis courts have been unsuccessful. This is due to a court decision that in order to make a case the police have to produce a witness who saw the race on which the bets were made. Edmington's bride of a year, who is Miss., has written to him saying that she will return home Monday and will stand by him. He wrote to her several days ago, telling her of his shortage. Confessed a Week A He made his confession og shortage a week ago last Monday to J. W. Page, cashier of the Illinois Central, in the East St. Louts office. Page notified the American Surety Co. of New York, and Edmington was paroled temporarily in charge of F. L. Miller, representing the surety concern. Edmington was under $5000 bond. Expert accountants have beén investi- gating Edmington’s books since that time and Edmington assisted them by explaining his system and pointing out where they could find the shortage. Up to date the amount is estimated at $2300. Edmington said that he began taking small amounts last October. He ex- plained to Page that as he made his daily collections he received part in checks and part In cash. He always turned in the checks, and then juggled his accounts out of the payments made in cash. Each day he said that he would hold out some account paid fn cash and not report the collection. These were small accounts at first. The next day or a day or two later, he gays, he would take other cash col- lected and make good the first short- age, and fail to report the second cash collection, which would be larger than the first. In this way he was able to coveer up the shortage until it grew to large proportions. The investigation of the books was al- most completed yesterday and Account- ant J. T. Bryan swore to the embezsie- ment charge. Edmington was taken be- fore Justice Brady, where he waived hearing and was later taken to jail. PIGEONS horn A PARROT AWAY

_ Advantage of Parishioner’s “Heart Talk.” CHICAGO, March 6—Troubles which have caused an upheaval in two of the largest Methodist churches of Chicago, Were taken into court today. Criticism of the Rev. Edward B. Crawford, pas- tor of the Woodlawn Park Methodist Church, who caused the Rev. John D. Leek, pastor of the Western Avenue Church, to resign because of his ac- quaintance with a certain woman, is contained in a bill for injunction: filed in the Superior Court today to stop the distribution of alleged scand2lous statements “at the Western. Avenue Church. The name of Mrs. and the Rev. . Mr. John Lavender : Leek are not men- tioned in the bill. John Lavender, the woman's husband, and one of the trustees of the Woodlawn Park Church, is the complainant. Dr. Crawford and the trusteesg of the church are .made defendants. The bill charges that the Rev. Mr. Crawford recently received from ‘“‘a cer- tain lady who: supposed she was con- versing in confidence between a pastor and communicant, certain statements regarding her spiritual condition, ex- perience and progress, but which he interpreted to be misconduct between said lady and a certain minister, and by threatening to publish said alleged confession, caused the Te of said pastor.”’ The bill alleges that the Rev. Crawford caused an official Dr. board of confes- sion. should be printed and distributed at a meeting to be held tonight. The petition asks that the court stop this action. The filing. of the action promises a sensation in the affairs of the church. The bill of complaint says: “During January or February, 1908, E. B. Crawford, as pastor. of said church, in‘conversation with a certain lady received from said lady who believed she was conversing in con- fidence - between a pastor and com- municant certain statements regard- ---ing hér spiritual condition, experience es “progress, but which he interpret- a.

4 to be misconduct between said lady and a certain minister and: by threat- ening to publish said alleged confes- n caused the pominnetion of said stor.” Pastor Resigned.

Avenue Methodist Church. When asked why he resigned he replied: “Because I am a Christian and a man.” The bill for injunction declares that there is no exigency which makes it necessary to the welfare of the con- gregation to publicly disseminate any information “in. further betrayal of said confession, but on the contrary the less agitation there is the better it will be for the welfare of the church and of t congregation.” It is allegec that t publication of the confession was set for ‘tonight, Dr. Crawford desiring, he says, to: have the congregation judge whether his actions in the matter have been prop- er or otherwise. Tone of Bill, Bitter. As the bill proceeds the tone be- comes more bitter against Dr. Craw- ford. The latter is accused of “ma- licious and corrupt distortion and be- trayal of said confession;” he is said to have used “the prestige of the of- ficial board to exculpaje himself from the ignoble predicament into which his: dastardly distortion and betrayal of said confession have placed him. Judge Barnes this afternoon refused to fesue the injunction because he said the wther side had not been noti- fied_of the application. WOMEN POLICE ARE DEMANDED BY CITY PART 4 ® 7

For lack of candidates, cash and en- thusiasm Sheridan Webster’s City party. nominated no Municipal ticket at the Planters Hotel last night. It passed Mrs. F. H.

DANGER IF mY | STAYS ON TICKET} wr They- Say He Will Surely Be Defeated and May Take Others With Him.

UNITED ON WOERNER a He Will Be Notified Tomorrow Night and Will Open Cam- paign Wednesday.

Democratic leaders regard the pres- ence of Lawier Daley’s name on the ticket as a candidate for the Board of Education as their greatest handicap in the municipal campaign. With Da- ley off and some new men to take the pisces of members of the House of Delegates combine.on the ticket, Democratic committeemen say they are ‘certain of victory. They fear now that’ Daley may cause the defeat of the entire ticket. ' There is a strong sentiment against dragging the School Board into politics, and if Daley persists in staying on the ticket the leaders fear that the independent voters will knife all the candidates. It is generally believed if Daley stays on the ticket he will be defeated by a greater majority than Eddie Mor-’ rissey in his race for Sheriff last fall. Morrissey was defeated by Sheriff Nolte by nearly 28,000 votes. . “The criticism that will be leveled against Daley will endanger the entire ticket,”” said one committeeman. ‘Da- ley’s determination-to stay on the tick- et will eventually result in his own great humiliation and the probable de- feat of the party. If he will. step aside and put his loyalty to the party above his private interests, he will win the respect of his associates, while if he persists in staying on and endangering all the other candidates, he will hurt himself as much as anybody e!lse.”’ Campaign Opens Wednesday. The Democratic campaign will he opened at Lemp’s Park Hall Wednes- day’ evening. William F. Woerner, the nominee for Mayor, will make the prin- cipal speech. Mr. Woerner_ will receive the cordial support of all factions of-the Derno- cratic party. The committeemen who opposed him most strongly in the con- vention are lining up their forces to make a strong fight for him during the campaign. A delegation headed by Judge Sale will visit Mr. Woerner at his home. to- morrow’ night and notify him of his nomination. The Democratic Committee will have at least two vacancies in the Council ticket to fill. drawn, and either George R. Korte or J. C. Steinlage will . withdraw. .Both are dairymen. ‘| The Democratic orgun- ization has decided that two milkmen on the ticket are too many. Possible Changes in Ticket. Dr. John M. Grant, Gerald B. O’ Reil- ly and ex-Sheriff Joseph Dickmann have been suggested for the vacanc There is some talk that H. Chouteau Dytr will withdraw as a candidate for presidefMt of the City Council and that Marcus Bernheimer will be substituted. The Democratic City Committee is willing to substitute Dg. John C. Mor- fit on the Freeholders’ Board for Au- gust Hoffmann, banker, who has ex- pressed a willingness to withdraw in favor of a ysictan. The Democrats want it. distinetly uh- derstood that.no physician was placed on the Freeholders’ Board because the Republicans objected.. Chairman Howe of the Republican City Committee ob- jected, according to Chairman Ward of the Democratic Committee, to a physician being named. Howe telegraphed to the Post-Dis- patch from Washington that he was willing to put Dr. Morfit on the ticket instead of Mr. Hoffmann. Withdrawe)s may be made prior to March 16. Howe will return tomerrow from ‘Washingztn and the two committees will get fto- gether on the new proposition without delay. _ Freeholder Not an Officer. Arcording to the legal department of the city a freeholder is not an of- ficer under the provisions of the Charter or the’ Constitution. Being a freeholder does not, therefore, disbar a citizen from holding any other of- fice. John Schroers is a member of the School Board ard John F. Lee and F. W. Lehmann are members of the Pub- lic Library Board. Under the decis- ion of the City Counselor they are not debarred from mebership on the freeholders’ board on account of their present positions. The Republicans will open their campaign at Concordia Hall in South St. Louis March 17. ‘They say they have little hope of electing Ed Koeln for Collector, and they fear that his name on the ticket will handicap all the other candidates. Koeln is re- garded as the Lawler Daly of the Republican ticket. Republican leaders figured yester- day that the defecation of Councilman Cramer, defeated candidate for Mayor, will not cost the party more than 2500 votes. Practically all of the follow- ing of Chauncey Ives Filley, which last November amounted. to more than {/ 7000 -votes, will take the advice of Cramer, the politicians say. is

Special by Cable to the Post-Dis- patch and New-Yerk World. Copyright, 1909, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, March 6.—Charles Froh- man agzd the Shuberts are rivals for the American rights of Bernstein's play, “La Rafale’ (“The W hirl- wind’) which made a great suctess on its production here four years ago with Mme. Le Bargy In the principal feminine role. The piece has been put into English by Gordon Smith, who’ adapted “The Girl From Rec- tor’s’’ from the French by Paul Waser. Both Bernstein and Smith have been suffering a mild shock from the American press agents’ methods, which declare a piece erotic in order to make it draw. Smith has opened negotiations with the Shuberts for the American rights of “La Rafale.” When Mr. Frohman heard of it he at once de- cided that, though he once declined the play, he now wants it.

SORCRITY GIRLS N PLAY WRITTEN BY ONE OF Th Pi Beta Phis of Washington University Score Big Success.

The Pi Beta Phi Sorority of W ashing- ton University entertained friends last Friday evening with a three-act play entitled ‘“‘The Prude Queen of Haddon Hall.’’ The play was written and staged by Miss Eula Gray, a member of the Sorority, and all the members of the cast belonged to the same: Sorority. The audience, about a hundred and fifty persons, came in response to per- sonal! invitations issued by the Sorority, and each person was presented with a hand-painted souvenir program. The programs were the work of Miss Anna Diefelad and Miss Ysobel Campbell. A song, ‘‘Fairy Tales,’’ composed by the author of the play, created a sensa- tion and was-the hit of the evening. Each verse touched upon some college foible, br mentioned some well-known personage at the University. Seven or eight encores had toe be sung and the closing verse about the “rats” of the girls’ pompadours was accompanied with a “shower of chocolate” rats thrown out upon the audience. The Prude Queen, Miss Louise Birch, had been ‘‘rushed’’ in a spirited manner by the Kappa Mu Sigma (Keep Mouth Shut) of Hadden Hall. Just as she was about to be taken into the bosom of the Sorority her roommate discovered that the Prude Queen was not at all a “prude,” and she at once ceased to be “Queen.”’ The doors of the Sorority were barred to her until it was discov- ered that it was “al] a mistake,’ and she immediately became the favorite. An exciting basket ball game takes place during the play—off the stage— and “Pet’’ Arnold takes the place of ‘‘Happy,”’ the ‘varsity captain, who has sprained her ankle “just ,dreadfully,” and wins a great victory. ‘‘Pet,’’ who is poor, is about to be forced to leave college because of lack of funds, but Birdie Lee Wallace, the heiress, sends her enough money in a mysterious man- ner to: keep her in college, and thus preserve the Sorority and the ‘varsity basket ball team intact. The Sorority initiation in which ‘‘Miss Woodward,” Miss Betsey Forbes, was initiated, was a very successfully staged scene.

COLUMBUS, O.,~March 6.—Frank Kohler, a German, employed more than a year ago as a farm hand for a brief period by Miss Fannie Hegelganz, is being sought today to shed some light on the woman's brutal murder. ‘Almost a recluse, she labored over her 100 acres for years. Kohler, her sery- ant, has been missing since Friday, Feb. 26, when she was last seen alive. On a table near the bell in which her pody was found yesterday with a bullet hole through her head Was a book on magic and black art. Beside the book lay a horoscope dated September, 1907, which warned her of treachery on the part of a friend in this particular year, and'particularly warned her to be aware of Saturday. It promised her children and a happy home. Two weeks ago Kohler reappeared in the neighborhood and was again em- ployed by her. “Why, confound you, I wouldn’t mar- ry you; all you Want is my money,” Miss Hegeiganz is said to have told Kohler last spring before the crowd gathered around the little country store scene of the crime. . | * i

Up to three weeks ago the St. Teresas were right up to their necks in the fight for the pennant. Phil Riley’s play- chance to win the soccer championship of the city. Since their defeat by the St. Leos, the latter team has pulled away. If there be any balm in, winning from the champions, the St. Teresas have their opportunity today. Season Proved Success.

Mareh 6.—‘‘Dode’”’ Criss has jumped the Browns. Mc- Aieer’s big hitter, who led the American League last season, has quit baseball to boss the negroes on his father’s ranch in this State. Dode named a price to Manager McAleer for which he would return and play ball. The salary asked was simply out of the question and Dode shook hands with Manager James and said ‘‘good-by.’’ It probably means “good-by”’ to base- ball forever as far as Dode is con- cerned and it will rob the game of the most promising hitter that has broken into the big league in many seasons. Dode could hit the ball with all the ease of a Keeler and still with all the power of a Wagner, but beyond his ability as a hitter he had but little. He is a pitcher, but cowtd not make good last year. He wag tried out at first base and in the outfield. and failed at both. lt. is doubtful if he could ever develop er.ough to be a regular on a big league team. “Ah reckon, Mr. McAteer,” he said, “that you allup in St. Louis will think Ah’m mean, but sure as you live, Ah doan’ care to play ball one bit. “Ah like you, Mr. Mac,-and Ah hates to leave the club, but you know how Ah feel "bout it. Ah doan’ wan’ to play unless Ah cansget so much money that Ah feel bound to.”’ “Well, if that’s the way you feel about it, Dode, I guess you had better go along to the farm,” said Manager McAleer. Though McAleer didn’t state the amount of money Dode asked, a friend of his said he knew it was $4000. Criss’ fame in baseball has probably been cut off with but_one brilliant year, that of 1908, when his name was at the top of all the batters in the American League. DALLAS, Tex.,

Worth Contest Regulars Loaf Enough to Make | a Hait-Line Finish 11 to 10,

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. ; FORT WORTH, Texas, : 2 ee F i third-base line gave the veteran division of the Browns an hour 11 to 10 victory over the Ft. Worth members of the ‘Teane here this afternoon, and incidentally gave Bobby Wallace, who made first appearance as a real manager, a lot to be grateful for. . | “nied ELL’S walk, Jones’ single and Jimmy Stephens’ double © From a spectacular viewpoint the game has many apologies to offer. Wallace warned the members of his team before game time to take things easy, and they followed instructions to a man. Even Wagner, who was mak- ing his debut as a member of Manager McAleer’s family, refused to loogen up in the face of a terrific bombardment in the fifth inning, which netted the locals seven runs and gave them a comforta- ble lead. Considering the amount of work the Browns have had, the manner in which they slapped the ball around the fleld was very gratifying. The Ft. Worth warriors were not imbued with thé same spirit as the visitors, and ag- gressiveness was apparent in their every move. : Graham, who pitched the last four innings, is in very fair condition, and the four weeks at Houston should put him in shape for the grueling pennant scramble ahead of the team. Hartzell, who, by the way, pulled off a ‘coup iple of nasty errors at short, was the ero of the hitting brigade. In the ‘fi! with the bags full, he rapped 4 to right center, and before the ®alf had been flelded he had made the ‘cfrenit.

The Brown's nine was made up mostly of veteran pitchers, a couple of young out- fielders being in the line-up, one young catcher and two young pitchers to do the twirling. The Dallas boys had been practicing for two weeks, and were in trim for the game, consequent- , ly they licked the big Leaguers 6 to 0, and made everybody in town happy. Tomorrow the second team will play over at Fort Worth, and the regulars will tackle the crack Dallas club. Every one thinks the local club is going to beat the first team also, so McAleer is expecting 4 crowd out for the game that will fill the pack to capacity. There were about 1500 howling fans out today, and they left the park delighted.

BY JOHN Sporting Editor E. WRAY, Post-Dispatch. ASEBALL teams throughout the country will have settled down to serious training work, and before the end of the week managers of clubs, if not the onlookers in the gruelling tryouts, will have formed some idea of the character of the ma- terial which purchase, drafts and weak places. These are the days when the young ‘men make the veterans look like hack- neys beside thoroughbreds. But, though some of the form exhibited is doubt- less false, tne discerning eve of tue manager can nearly always tell wheth- er the rudiments of greatntss are there. For the Browns, at Houston, there will be little for Manager McAleer to do in the way of upvuilding his.club. He must find out ff his new catchers can supply a third man, to help out occasionally when Stephens and Criger flag. He must develop a new outfielder to take the place of “Butts’’ Heidrick. He must try out the new men to find suitable material for a strong reserve force. There is no crying need of a new man in the entire Browns makeup. The out- field dan shift along even if every new man on the list fails to make good. Schweitzer, Stone, Hartzell, and Jones can stagger along and do well enough to keep up their end. The infield is complete before the &ea- gon begins. The catching staff is cer- tainly efficient and the pitching depart- ment, with Lou Criger to hold down those wild ones, seems increased °0 per cent in efficiency without the addition of aman. It is only as a provisivr: for the future that McAleer is considering most of the players whom he has ac- quired since last seuson. McAleer will hardly take chances on a youngster When he has the vets ready to hand. And such a club as it wil. be this year! The pennant seems certainly flaunting in the faces of all the Browns. ERABAPS most of us would be rc inclined to pick Cleveland over the Browns, but for sheer ‘sentiment’ one is compelled to put the Browns first this year. ‘The veterans all look so well; they are fiso heart and soul with Jim McAleer; the pitchers are so confident that Criger will strengthen the club, and the ad- vent of several new men who seem to bear the earmarks ‘of coming stars all point to success so strongly that one doesn’t have to fudge much to put “the Brown atop of them all. +. Here are the improvements over the _ 1908 Browns in a nutshell: : The best catcher in «the American League, instead of just a commonplace one. A lively Jimmy Williams in place of a A well George Stone, instead of a jaundiced, malarial one. A sound leg on a normal .310 hitter, Hoffman] trades have secured to bolster up Schweitzer, in place of a limpy one. A collection of brain workers that a year’s play together has cemented into a unit, instead of a collection of bat- tered discards, traded from other clubs by disgusted managers. A pitcher who has a record of four no-hit games last season—Justus. A first baseman who batted .320, stole 49 bases in 114 games—Patterson. An outfielder who batted .343, and was one of the best men in his league in speed, daring and other qualities— Crum. A catcher of whom Frank Selee said ‘He is the best in the Western League since Kling.’’—Smith. And perfect condition in all the old players. That’s an array of difference which should certainly be responsible for the flag this year. It was Lou Criger that virtually cost the Browns the pennant a yr. It was he who taught the vi pitchers of Boston how to beat ihe ifowns Had the St. Louis team w s proper percentage of games from , Boston, it would have had the This, year we have Criger to help us, instead of to fight us. Boston will no longer be a bugbear and the mere switching of Criger last season would have won the championship for the Browns. You can see it for yourself. Criger off the Boston, the Browns .win a majority of games. A majority of games would have brought the flag here. Even without Criger, had the Browns not all collapsed with sickness and strain during the last month, the Browns had an excellent chance to win out. If the club was so close last season, with all the improvements in the con- dition and personnel of the clui one can hardly get away from the conviction that the Browns are destined to cut a figure in some very large glacia' de- posits. As for the Cardinals, who are trying out with Roger Bresnahan at Little Rock, nothing but the actual tesi can tell about the club. On paper the team has lost in strength from last year. But the improvement in tene of the mem- bers, enhanced by the inspiration of Bresnahan, to say nothing of his in- trinsic baseball ability, promises re- suits. Roger has every man on his club with him and, with the proper spir- it and the McGraw tactics of hustle, and work with which Roger is saturat- ed, something beside last place seems ¢ertain to ensue.

OAKLAND, Cal., March 6.—Clamor, a 26-to-1 shot, won the Waterhouse cup at two miles and a quarter over a mud- dy track at Emeryville today. The Keene horse was almost completely overlooked in the betting. Firestone as- sumed command after the first quarter and led over a mile and a half, when he tired. Clamor moved up from last po- sition and won easily from Animus, while Firestone was third. The event was worth $6440 to the winner. Rose Queen won the Grimstead Handi- cap in clever style.

BY 8. CARLISLE MARTIN. “A of St. est wind paddists. With these few well-chosen, hand-sewed remarks we got down to business. Having trained faithfully at the meeting of the 4 leaguers up in Chicago last month, I was in good . condition and soon had Lou hop- ping around to hold my curves. “Why the above rash _ state- ment!” I asked, putting one straight over the plate, but a lit- tle low. “Well,” said Lou, “a poor eatcher can spoil the good work of any pitcher and a live, brainy catcher can make an_ ordinary pitcher look good. “Now, there are certain bat- ters who have certain weaknesses. For instance, they’ll fall for an out curve every time and miss, when if the pitcher gave them a straight, high one right over they’d murder it. Some of them can’t hit a low one at all, but can judge a wide curve any time, and so on. “That’s where I hope to get into the picture with the young fellows. I’ve gone through a few seasons studying that end of the game, and have a mental directory of nearly all the American League’s batting stars. “There are one or two of our boys, for instance, | wouldn’t give them anything but a wide out curve, and they'll bite every time. No, Tm not mentioning any names. “Another point: The catcher has the whole game in front of him. Besides tipping the pitcher off on the different batters as they come up—signaling .for a high or a low one, one ‘close in and one away out, the catcher must keep one eye on the runner all the time. And there’s where many a game is lost, letting the run- ners go wild. LOU BELIEVES TY COBB HAS SOME BONE-HEAD LUCK OW HY they tell you that Ty Cobb is a great be he is, but I never had any CATCHER is the most important man on a team, and when McGraw told ~~ different he knew better,” Louis’ two members of the “ ag “Lanky Lou” Criger, one ig Four” of balldom’s great- trouble with him. Why he only got away with me twice in the two years that I have been play- ing against him. Most of his good base running I call bone-headed work. And one of those two times he tried the delayed steal, that is, starting when he thought I was going to return the ball to the pitcher, and then I had him by 20 feet, but: the second ‘base- man was away behind the bag and waited for him, and Cobb slid away round and stuck his foot on the bag. Ty is fast and you must outguess him. “No. I’ve got his ‘goat’ and I’ve got the rest of that Tiger bunch, too. Cobb tried to ‘block’ me last summer and I went after him and have been after him ever since. [ used tno say to him: ‘Look out, Ty, this felow is as wild as a hawk and he’s liable to crack you on the head.’ And then I'd sig- nal for one right at his head. Bing! Down he’d drop and when he’d get up the fight was all out of him, he couldn’t hit a station- ary balloon. “You know you can kid a batter until he won’t know where he’s ‘at.’ I pestered that crowd so much that they came around and begged me to let up. They said we had nothing to gain and they might lose the pennant. “You see, we made the Tigers look like thirty cents last fall in Detroit when we beat ’em three straight. Jennings wouldn’t even get off the bench. “Where a catcher is extremely valuable is in coaching the kid pitchers. Look how, Morgan, Ci- ecotte, Arellanes and "Steele devel- oped last year and watch and see where they finish this year. “I worked hard with those boys, and I used to say to them, ‘Now try and remember so I won’t have to tell you so often.’ “They talk about throwing arms.

' OPENING DAY: _ like Cy Young’s,” said Lou with a wink. “Then I throw with the thumb under the ball and two fingers above,” and Lou lined one down to an imaginary fielder and it almost hit Roy Hartzell, who was sitting near, writing love let- ters to himself. THROW TO INFIELD SHOULD “ROTATE BACKWARD,” SAYS LOU C¢ OW the way I throw N the ball, it rotates : backward and has an upward tendency, while some catchers throw exposed and that with the thumb gives it the downward effect, like the billiard draw shot, a ball that. hurts to catch. “But there's something else be- sides the throwing of the ball; that’s the man at the other end wno catches it. In ‘Hobe’ Ferris, Bobby Wallace and Jimmy Wil- liams we have three great men on a thrown ball. Why, when ‘Hobe’ ne ed second for the Bostons and >arent was at short. I'll bet Par- ent let 50 runners get away from him, and I don’t remember Hobe losing one of ’em. And it was the same way -in 1908, with Wagner at short and McC ‘onnell at second. Wagner would get ’em all and McConnell simply wasn’t there at putting it on the runner. “Gee, I'd like to have those world’s championshi games for Detroit. I can’t understand what was the matter with Smith, unless he was scared. “He did some nice work last year. Why, those Cubs just played ide-and- seek on the bases with him, and that’s another instance of how important a catcher is to a team. “IT wanted to get with the Browns last summer, and if I had i think we would have ‘walked in’ with that pennant.” CONCERNING OUR PENNANT CHANCES—JUST LISTEN— “What do you think of the Browns’ chances for the grand old rag?” I asked. “Great!

The Sox are not worrying us much, as Jones will leave an awful hole out there in center, amd | feel that we will hang it on Jennings’ bunch. Any- wre, I'll try and take care .of. them myself.” “Where will Boston finish?” “Nowhere, but then, I might be prejudiced. ; “Oh, I forgot, there are other Pg ime things for a catcher to > “He must be a sure catch on foul flies and must be able to get down quick on a bunt to nai the catching the robably give us runner.

No, I’m not too old. 7 I could: catch several years longer, but I have other intérests to look after. I’ve bought a big farm of 173 acres, near Jones, Mich.. which I will use as a blooded atock farm.

Plaisted, back in 1877, was considered the champion oarsman of the world. He has a really wonderful book of clip- pings containing accounts of regattas in which he competed before some of | the present-day oarsmen were born. Plaisted was born in Portland, Me., in 1848. He began his athletic career in 1368. Since then he has been contin- uously connected with the aquatic game. Plaisted competed in races on the Pacific Coast, Australia, South America, England, Scotland, France, Germany and Spain. He was a great single-sculler, but on ene occasion pulled an oar in a four- oared shell that won the national cham- pionship. Plaisted also has had considerable ex- perience as a coach.

Plaisted was in charge of the oarsmen at Bowdoin College for four years. Professional rowing in the old days was almost in a class with professional pugilism of the present time, in some respects. When two professional eare~ men of the reputation of Plaisted and Edward Hanlon were matchedifor a race for a big side wager the men went into training quarters on some river with four or five men to ald them to get into condition.

That the Municipal Gevernment of the City of New York is.a geod deal more wide awake than the Federal Govern- ment and appreciates the necessity of speed and economy in the conduct of its business is evidenced by the. follow- ing figures: The city of New York has and now owns and operates, abowsr 10 motor vehicles, valued at pres‘ at about $300,000. It conducts a mode! gar- age, and outside of the cost of chauf- feur, which averages some $1200 a .year, the cost of upkeep, including tires, saso- line, lubricating oil, repaits, etc., does not average $250 per machine.

Unele Sam’s Apathy. The United States Government has never openly recognized the automobile industry or encouraged it In any way directly. Modern’ civilization differs from the civilization of former periods chiefly by reason of swifter travei and communication. These have changed history and made the character alike of nations and individuals sadically differ- ent from what they would otherwise have been. Generally speaking a change has over- taken the entire country as to the opin- ion of the public on motoring art the moter car. Aside from the matter of the abeve-mentioned facts, many of which are abvious, it does not seem to be realized by some members of Con- gress, that the automobile is the basis of an enormous industry employing hundreds of thousands ef hands, mil- lions of dollars, and that last year as shown by a recent public statement, $467,000,000 was spent in the Unite States as a result of the existence of the automobile industry, which means that every farmer, hotel keeper cr in- dustrial worker in this country received his portion threugh the use of the 160,- 000 motor vehicles now running in this country. a

Strang is a noted driver, having won the Savannah road raceinthespring of 1908 and later the Briarcliff road race.

Dirame lia besides After Burman had defeated his Isotta at New Orleans, cleaning up George Robertson in his 90-horsepower Savannah Grand Prize Simplex, breaking the world's record by 11 minutes, Strang-says he saw ‘‘the handwriting on the wall’ and realized the time had arrived for the Buick con- nection if he was to keep in the front. While it is not the intention of the Buick company to make an extensive Us Precious campaign a: connection with racing, yet Burman and Strang will participate in the more prominent contests in all parts of the country dur- ing the year. Burman is at present at Daytona, ready for the Florida beach races, while Strang is at the Buick factory in Flint, looking after the construction of his racing cars and practicing with his stock models over: the Michigan roads.

MOTOR NEWS By NELSON AND GOSSIP T. GUTELIUS,

Colonial Automobile Co. sold five 20- horsepower White Steamers the past week and four E-M-F touring Cars, They report business flourishing. Up to date the Halsey Automobile Co. has sold five 1910 Packard cars. It has delivered 1909 Packards to the following: Marcus Harris, Aaron Fuyl- ler, Mrs. J. F. Carton, Mrs. Hudson E. Bridge, James H. Bemis and Mrs. C. R. Davis. They sold last week Stevens- Duryea cars to the following: S. Phil- lip, Mexico, Mo.; A. L. Ide, Springfield, Mo., and Joseph P. Plank, Quincy, Ill. O. L. Halsey, president of this company, said Saturday that he expects to Sell 100 1910 Packards. He says: business has been better than in any years of his long experience in the business in this city. Maxwell-Brisco Motor Vehicle Corpo- ration sold three Maxwell ears Satur- day. L. L. Milks, the manager, re- perts that the prospects for a large number of sales of Maxwell cars for this year are exceedingly bright. He says that he fully expects to have their full allotment of cars sold before June 1, when he will go a-fishing until the 1910 cars come in. George Dunnville, formerly a mechan- ical expert with the Park Automobile Co., is now engaged by the Acme Au- tomobile Co., as salesman for the Kis- selkar. A report has reached this city to the effect that Eugence Du Prez, who had been long connected with the Neustadt Auto and Supply Co., as general man- ager for J. H. Neustadt, but until lately managing the supply house of the Baum Iron Co. at Omaha, Neb., has returned to the’ service of Mr. Neu- stadt and is now the manager of the J. H. Neustadt Auto and Supply Co.'s store at San Francisco, Cal. The Phoenix Auto Supply Co. has just sold one of the largest single orders for automobile supplies on record in this city. Last week they sold $2200 worth to the United Railways Co. S. A. Bhompson returned from New York City Saturday, where he had been for several weeks with his Packard ‘'30" roadster. He shipped the car home by express. He says that there was a considerable snow storm in New York, but that it did not, in the least, im-

pede the progress of motor car traffic. John W. Gardner, agent for the Franklin line of air-cooled cars, has placed on his demonstrating car a com- plete Vesta electric lighting equipment, purchased from T. W. Benoist, the Vesta agent., Mr. Gardner found this equipment was necessary to keep up with the demand for demontsrating the Franklin. Now he fulfills same of his engagements for demonstrations at night, with a brilliantly illuminated car. Mrs. Joan Cuneo, who won several of the races at the Mardi Gras race meet at New Orleans, used Fisk quick remov- able rims and tires and did not have any tire troublé. In a strong indorse- ment just received by A. N. Stanley, manager of the. St. Louis branch of the Fisk Rubber Co., she gives unstint- ed praise of the Fisk. W. B. Fewell, the manager of the branch house of the Olds Motor Works, on Twelfth street, near Locust, was seen at the Jefferson Hotel Sat&rday night and expressed himself in the following language: “Of course, it all seems strange to me, coming from Bos- ton, to see only 2000 motor cars in use in this city. In comparison with Boston this is surprising and I cannot account for the difference in the number of cars in use in Boston, which is about 10,- 000, as compared with the 2000 in use here.’’ FAST MOTOR BOAT IS READY FOR FOREIGN RACE NEW YORK, March 6.—Owing to the accident to the 15-meter motorboat Standard, which has been entered by Prince. McKinney of Cleveland in the international races at Monaco in April, the boat was not shipped to France last week as had been expected. When making a trial run up the Hudson the boat struck a submerged log and stove a big hole in the hull back of the engine. To repair the boat it was necessary to remove the 600-horsepower motor, and the Standard has been at Wood's ship- yard, City Island, all the week.

THe Standard and Dixie II, which has | also been entered for the Monaco races, will be sent abroad on the steamer Ger- Leeoataioe of the Fabre Line.

This is the first bona fide entry for this race, and Strang will spend tomorrow going over the pro- posed route. The early entry of Strang, who is considered one of America's greatest road drivers, will doubtless cause a boom in the plans of the Chicago Au- tomobile Club, which is promoting the race. TEST TO FIND OUT WHAT VEHICLES HARM ROAD MOST Autos and Horse Drawn Carriages to Use Parallel Roads of Identical Kind. With tHe decision of the Pennsy}- vania Road Supervisors, during their recent convention at Norristown, to build parallel strips of macadam or asphalted roadway for the purpose of testing the relative effects of automo- bile and horse-drawn traffic, light will be thrown on a subject that has been a matter of argument for some years. The idea of the test is to satisfy some of the members who hold divergént opinions about the amount of road de- terioration that can be charged to the self-propelled vehicles and to horses. The assertion was made during the convention that the automobiles were largely responaible for the deteriora- tion of the roads. This was resented, the argument winding up in the offer of a supervisor who uses an automobile to stand the bulk of the expense of building two strips of road ‘exactly alike, the one to be used for automo- biles, the other is given over to other types of traffic. il Queries and Answers, SERIOUS.—The best way te become a chauffeur is really by practical ex- perience, either in an automobile fac- tory or in a garage, aided by studying some authoritative book on the auto- mobile. Your being a machinist would ‘most likely rapidly advance you into a full-fledged chauffeur within a short time. Apply to some garage for an in- side position or apply to one of the city auto rental companies for a chance to jearn to drive a car. Being a machinist, the working parts of the car will be quickly understoed. > »

President Tafi’s Car. The White company a few days ago shipped to Washingten the seven-pas- senger touring car recently,» purchased by President-elect Taft for his personal use, There is but one feature—and that an important ‘ohe—to distinguish Mr. Taft's ear from-any other model ‘“‘M.”’ White Steamer, namely, on either door is painted the coat-of-arms of the United States. A recent visitor to the White factory, seeing the car in the paint shop, re- marked: ‘I suppose that car has a lot of special features.” ‘Yes,"’ replied Rollin H. White, who was escorting the visitor, ‘‘the special features which are found in.every White car. In other words, when we are making a car for the President of the United States there is no way in which we can make it better than the car which you, or any one else, can purchase frem us.”

BERLIN, March 6.—Drastic measures have been adopted by the authorities of Comptendorf; of the interior, to fmprove its moral tone. The character of some of ‘the town’s inhabitants has not been, to put it mildly, in any sense high. The authorities have worried over the bad name the community has attained, and to improve conditions they now propose a crusade that is nothing less than startling. Certain children will not be baptized with others, but a special day will be Set apart for them, and clergymen are to refer to the child’s parentage in the baptismal address before the whole con- gregation. Another rigid stipulation is that men and women of the community who have openly disobeyed moral laws are to be summoned periodically before the church, and warned of their evil lives. If they persevere in their iniquity, they are to be excluded from the sacraments, and if they still remain obdurate, their names are to be read publicly from the altar. Mothers of “natural’’ children will be obliged to’ pay a higher church tax than other mothers. The utmost indignation is expressed in liberal Germany at these sharp reg- ulations, which are regarded as utterly unworthy of the church, yet great per- plexity is felt as to how the situation in Comptendorf is to be overcome.

; though reserving the right to amend with the idea of ee any political wv COURT LAWS WOULD BE INVALID - St. Louis Senator Tells Why He Opposes Municipal Judicial System.

JUSTICE COURTS BAD

, Favors Improvement, but’ Be- lieves Proposed Plan Is - Unconstitutional.

Constitutional and not political: con- siderations are the grounds on which State Senator Thomas E. Kinney says he is opposing the passage of a bill to abolish the present justices of the peace and establish in their stead municipal ccurts of 12 divisions, having civil and criminal jurisdiction. Senator Kinney says he will present to the Senate's Judiciary Committee, Mon- day gn argument aimed at the consti- tutionality of the measure, which was drafted and recommended by the St. Louis Bar Association. If the Judiciary Committee. is not impressed by his ob- jections and reports the bill, Senator Kinney gays, he will use no political pressure to prevent its enactment, al- it in some particulars. While admitting that the present jus- tice court is miserably bad, Senator Kinney contends that it is susceptible of'reform without radical legislation, the validity of which, he holds, may require years to determine. Net Trying to Save Anybody’s Job. ‘It is hot politics that is back my objections to the establishment 6f mu- nipical pcourts,’’ said Senator Kinney to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday. “I am not trying to save anybody's job, and if the Judiciary Committee doesn’t agree with my views as to the constitu- tionality of the law, then I will let it pass. Of course, I shall try to see it amended in some. particulars, but not capital. ' “My chief objection to the bill is that it is not sound. I believe that Senator Emmett Fields of -the Judiciary Coin- mittee will take the same stand when he has heard my arguments! As a secondary reason [I am against the bill because it attempts. to, put the Justice Courts in the hands of lawyers.

F Tbe observed by a aang of aaa 12, 13 and 15 of the bill. Provision of City’s Charter. ‘Another objection to the measure’s attempt to abolish police courts and police justices is that these officers and tribunals are expressly provided for by the charter of the City of St. Louis—as may, be seen by consulting Article IV, sections 25, 26 and 27. The Supreme Court, in construing the above sections of the Constitution, has held that no amendment or change can be made in the city’s charter except by a vote of the people. “Finally, the Constitution, 37, Article VI, directs that county there shall be: elected or ap- Section ‘in each

pointed as many justices of the peace as the public good may require,’ etc., and under Section 25, Article IX, it is provided that the Legislature’ shal! have the same power in the city and county of St. Louis that it has. over other counties in the State.’ “This the courts have interpreted as authorizing the Legislature to provide for justices of the peace in the City of St. Louis. If, therefore, justice courts are required to be established in coun- ties, a iike rule, undef a decision of the Supreme Court, will apply to their establishment in St. Louis, for since the ado n of the city’s charter and its cena from St. Louis County the city, has been treated in legis!a- tion as a county. If treated as a county the Legislature is not author- ized to abolish justices of the peace and their couyts, and hence the mu- nicipal courts bill in this respect is invalid. ; The municipal courts bill vontemplates the election of 12 justices, who shall try all suits that now be brought in a justice court, in addition to such cases as are heard by the three police judges. Will Be Self S&staining. It is the purpose of the Bar Associa- tion to have the jurisdiction of each judge so-extensive with the cfty lim- its, so that a case from any s@ction may be héard by any of them, thus saving delay. A clerk, corresponding to the Circuit Clerk, and a Chief Bailiff, corresponding to the Sheriff, and as many constables as are found necessary, are abso to be selected. Advocates of the bill contend tha - sides curing the abuses of the wisn justice courts, will save the city a large sum annually. It is thought the courts, like those in Chicago, will be self-sus- taining. The justi¢e courts now cost $40,000 a year more than their receipts in fines and fees.

They are the neatest outfits we have ever seen and we have spent our lives in the furniture business. Our plan of letting the people try anything in the Pailtess thirty days’ free test has worked wonders. Add to this our sales plam of small sumsieach month and ron will see all objections removed to young people getting married on nothing but a salary. That “nothing but a small salary’’ has kept thousands of young people from getting married but it can’t keep ans = ‘ from it. We believe that fully five hundred young people called here last week and went over a? ck outfits and asked questions about our plan. This proves the interest. It seems to be general. . you stop in tomorrow and see what we are oftering on this plan—see the whole new stock whieh: we I la prepared.

Special Correspondence of the Post- apatch. BUDAPEST, Feb. 22.—Again the dark- ening twilight of the Emperor's life is more the Austro-Hun- garian court is torn by soandal. The court gossips whispered at first that a * there had been a frightful scene in the palace here, in which the two infuri- ated actors were the Archduke Joseph and Maj. Geza Mihalovics, tutor of the Archduke’s children. Archduke Joseph represents the Emper- or and leads the court in Budapest. His wife, Archduchess Augusta, daughter of Archduchess Gizela and Prince Leopold ' of Bavaria, is the younger of the Em- peror’s two Bavarian granddaughters Like her father and mother, Arch- .. duchess Augusta can boast of little per- oe missed Maj. 3 hold sonal beauty. But she is unaffected, charmingly natural, and is fond of rather boisterous fun as if she had been born in @ peasant’s cottage, not a palace.

LADY GRANARD SHIVERS IN A LONDON WINTER Heating Systems in the English Houses Brings No Praise From Yankee Bride. HER BRILLIANT PARTY Near Royal Society Elated at Prospect of Many Ameri- can Hostesses.

Specia] Cable From London Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, March 6.—Lady Granard, the bride who was Miss Beatrice Mills of; New York, never encountered real winter weather in England until now. She is telling her friends, plaintively, how much she has suffered in London’s unheated houses during the blizzard of this past week. At a dinner given by Lady Savile, Lady tranard was ‘‘so chilly’’ she wore a fur wrap during the. dinner. But even the English women there did not complain that they were in a glow. The Granards’ residence on Charles street is a stately mansion and _ splen- didly furnished, but it has no furnace or other heating apparatus such as Americans are accustomed to. Lady Granard declares heatedly, even fer- yently, that when her husband takes a permanent residence she will install a system for heating it and so “change it from a refrigerator.”’ | Lady Granard expects. her mother, Mrs. Ogden Mills, to visit her after Eas- ter, and she looks forward to a visit from Mrs. Henry Phipps during May. The Granards are seeking to rent a country residence, and many houses have been offered to them, but they are not in a hurry about making a choice. They have already Castle Forbes in County Longford, Ireland, but they want a place nearer London. Stowe Park, the famous seat of the Bucking- ham family, is one that has been of- fered them. In Queen’s Own Room, The Post-Dispatch correspondent has learned some interesting particulars about Lady Granard’s informal recep- tion by the Queen and King and in the Queen’s boudoir, Buckingham Palace, before the first court, where she was presented informally. The Queen was resting on a sofa before completing her toilet for the court. The Duchess of Buccleuch, mistress of the rebes to Her Majesty, at the Queen’s bidding brought in Lady Granard, whe, at Her Majes- ty’s request, seated herself in a big armchair near the fire. The daughter and spouse of a king and the American girl chatted in the friendliest way until King Edward arrived, when the Duch- ess presented the Countess to him. The King rethained only a few min- utes. Then the Queen asked the Duchess to fetch a photograph album. Her Maj- ésty became deeply Interested in show- ing the Countess, pictures which she took at Castle Forbes a long time ago. On this, in gold. letters, fashioned like is the title. “Interesting Houses I have known.” It goes without saying that the Coun- |tess' was charmed by the Queen’s kind and. intimate manner, as indeed is everybody who knows her. Lady Granard gave a small dinner party one: night this week. Her guests were Lady Savile, Mr. and Mrs.- Robert Grosyenor (she was born Padelford), Mrs. Edward Stonor and two others. The. Granard’s dining room is a mag- nificent apartment and the single round dining table was almost lost in one end of the room. The Countess wore a gown of palest primrose yellow. Not one jewel adorned her. She affects this simplicity at small parties, as if in ¢ontrast to her appearance at great functions, ~where she is literally weighted with diamonds. Secicty Woman Good Actress. Mrs. Edward Stonor, whose husband belongs to one of the oldest Catholic families in England, proved herSelf an actress of rare ability and won golden opinions from the critics when she made her debut in a charitable cause at the Queens Theater recently. She appeared with Mr. Matthews in a very spirited dialogue entitled, ‘“‘The Impertinence of the Creature.” Mrs. Stonor is a beauti- ful Greek, who has been vastly suc- cessful in English society. She is a brunette, petite, with perfect features, big violet eyes and an abundance of rich, black hair. She is an. excellent linguist and always dresses admirably. .Before her second marriage,: in 1899, she was a much admired widow, Mrs. Ambrose Rolli. Her present husband, Mdward Stonor, is a grandson of Sir Robert Peel, and a clerk in the House of Lords. He and his .wife are great favorites in the royal circle. Mrs. Frederick Sherman, who has a fine apartment in Paris, has rented a house on Brook street, Grosvenor Square, for the season. Her daugh- Mrs. Sherman entertained the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany when they visited Paris, and the most exalted members of the French cap- ital’s. cosmopolitan society have been her guests, At last week's court the Americans were pr egemd the prospects for a gay season. They agreed that there ‘will be an unusual number’ of new American hostesses this year, includ- ing Mra, Charles Carroll, Mrs. Moore,

WATER WAGON NOT NEW TO KAISER Stein of Beer Occasionally and Di- luted Wines Full Extent of His Downright Drinking Bouts. Special Cerrespondent of the Post- Dispatch, BERLIN, Feb. 23.—The report sent all over the world that Emperor William had sworn to abstain from iritoxicating liquors seemed utterly absurd -to -ev- eryone whom His Majesty honors: with his friendship and intimate association. To be sure, the report was contradicted, but the very contradiction caused a false impression, What idea is conveyed by the statement, “The Emperor ‘has not sworn to abstain from intoxicating liquors ?’’ The simple truth igs that Emperor Wil- liam has no reason to “swear off,’”’. for he is an extremely moderate drinker. At ‘dinner he may*take a glass of Moselle or of champagne, but he always dilutes it with mineral water. Years ago His Majesty used to drink four or five glasses of beer in a day; very rarely now he takes a glass of beer from the brewery of his friend, Prince Fursten- berg. It is interesting to add that for the last 10 years nonalcoholic beverages have always been on the imperial ta- ble. The Empress never tastes any- thing else. Her favorite drink is “fada,” a sort of unfermented fruit juice. In the evening among his inti- mates the Emperor sips lemonade. Unlike his uncle, the English King, William II does not set the fashion for his male subjects. The Emperor seldom appears in public save in uniform or, in the country, in hunting dress. When in mufti he usually wears conventional apparel. His English mother put kilts on him when he was a boy and he dons them now occasionally. At one fancy Gress ball he appeared in full Scottish costume. ‘SOCIETY ATTENDS THE ART SHOW GIVEN BY ROYALTIES Only Those Holding Titles Have Been Accepted as Exhibitors at This Novel- Affair.

4 ROSTAND FEASTED THOUGH A KING Poet and Family Have Triumphal | —- Visit in Paris Where “Chanti- cleer” Is Rehearsing.

Special Correspondence From Paris Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, Feb. 24.—Visits of royalty to this capital have not attracted as much attention or press comment as the jour- ney of the author of ‘‘Cyrano” to Paris bearing the manuscript of “Chanti- cleer.”” It is a far cry from the days of Francois Villon and the ragged trouba- dours to the luxury that surrounds the author of L’Aiglion’s couplets. Here is no singer in the market place begging to be heard; instead, he flees from, be- sieging interviewers, leaves his special railway carriage secretly before Paris is reached that.he may escape from his admirers, shuts himself up in the royal suite of a hotel and denies himself to all except the truly great. <As a matter of fact, ine public fuss ever Rostand wae perileusly near be- coming foolish and the. poet himself was in danger of developing into an object of ridicule—he was already being referred to in some newspapers as ‘‘the Duke of Cambo,” after the name of his country place. Whatever criticism of the modernity of the poet there tnight have been was forever silenced by his exquisite eulogy of Coquelin, an address read with emotion by Parisians in every walk of life. Rostand’s automobile is,a marvel of elegance; bis servants are equipped with gorgeous livery; his beautiful wife is dressed in the iatest creations of ex- pensive Parisian dressmakers; his two sons have the air of little princes. What has become of the ancient belief that poetry does not pay? Photographers were ever on the alert for Rostand, but he dodged them fairly successfully. Mme. Rostand, however, was not so fortunate, or, perhaps, she cared less. A photographer got an excellent snap- shot of her and her two sons as they were entering a church.

OLD PROPHECY AROUSES A KING Peter of Servia Suppresses . Paper Printing Fortune Teller’s Words of 40 Years Ago.

Snecial Correspondence ofthe Post- Dispatch. BELGRADE, Feb. 19.—King Peter has caused an entire edition of the daily paper Za Oastosobina to be confiscated to suppress one item. The article was merely a reproduction of the forecast of a fortune teller published about 4 years ago in a-Servian paper. The fortune teller predicted the death of King Alexander Oprenovich and that following his death would come the Karageorgevich dynasty, the present one. He added that the Karageorgevich dynasty would only rure\seven or eight years. After that time, he prophesied, they would leave the country. Foreign- ers would then rule for a while. But the foreign rulers would not benefit the country, and in the end. the Obrenovich dynasty would return as ruling power and save the country. King Peter understoed the purpose of j reprinting the prediction and caused the edition to be confiscated. Then the article was circulated secretly. Many people think that all the prophecy will Part of it ts already his- tory.

OFICIAL PARI American Ambassador Entertains, Also Fellow Countrymen and Associates in Diplomacy.

Special Cable From the Paris Bureau ef the Pest-Dispatch, PARIS, March 6.—Ambassador White and Mrs. White are giving a series of elaborate entertainments. The Whites are as hospitable to their friends in the American colony and in French society as to the Ambassa- dor’s associates of the diplomatic corps and his acquaintances, the dig- nitaries of the Government. That the Ambassador's hospitality was to be so extended was foretold in these dispatches some weeks ago. The realization of the prophecy greatly pleases Americans living or visiting here. Ambassador and Mrs. White gave a dinner Tuesday night to the members of the French Government and their immediate assistants, Afterward there was a reception at which, as al- ways, Mrs. White was assisted in receiving by their daughter, Miss Mu- riel. Among those at the reception were Marquis Del Muni and the German, Turkish, Austro-Hungarian, Italian and Japanese ambassadors. Also Prince De Beauvau, the Marquis and Marquise D’Argenson, Prince and Princess De Leon, the Rev. Dr. and Mrs, Henry Van Dike, Spencer Pratt, Arthur E. aloos, Consul-General Frank H.

But at this height the air craft could drop bombs with deadly accuracy into Wall street. If the attack were at night, the most powerful searchlights would have great dif- ficulty in picking up an airship. “I think I have demonstrated perfectly,” said Knabenshue, after his flight, “how easy it would be in time of war to work incalculable damage to the enemy's country.

The first seientifie attempt to util- ize the wireless Waves generated by lightning for the purpose of fore- casting stortis Was made by the Rev. Father Frederic Odenbach, 8.

It cons'sts of two steel towers 105 feet high, connected at their summits by a copper wire 110 feet long, which intercepts the waves made by distant lightning and conveys them to a reg- istering apparatus below. This instru- ment is so contfived that at each electric impulse a pen draws a short line perpendicular to a spiral ruled on paper, which revolves on cylinder by clockwork. On this page is reproduced a sec- tion of the record.

Aliciatore, director of the New Orleans Weather Bureau, is not #0 pessimistic concern'ng further improvement of the cerauno- graph. He has invented an instru- ment of his own, which obtained frec- ords of an approaching storm seven hours and 19 minutes before the first thunder was heard in New Orleans. “In its present crude condition,” he says, “our recorder cannot tell us from what direction the storm is 4p- proaching, nor with what speed or in- tensity. But by improving it such in- formation may/one day be obtained.” Mr. Aliciatore, for his receiver, uses metal filings loosely scattered be- tween two electrodes. While in this condition the resistance of the filings is too high to permit the passage of a wea current from a local battery. But electric waves cOming from lightning mate the filings stick to- gether, thus reducing ‘heir resistance and permitting the weak current to pass through and animate a stylus which mars a dot on the register. His experiments have been. embodied in the Weather Bureau reports. Mr, Bowie is also confident that the ceraunograph will expériegce in the near future such development as will make ita practical and valuable as- s‘stant of the meteorologist. “There are few impossibilities in science,” says he, “And the perfea- -_ - Marvels Accomplished by Hertzian Waves.

After which they § said “nooh” and returned to their ac- customed walks. When one has millions—and mil- lions mean an endless circle of gaiety, whirl, splendor and every manner of entertainment—one comes to a period where ennti sets in. And when that stage is reached one longs for the simple life. That is why a number of. young folks in Chicago who have so many ‘millions that they get tired of the monotony of spending money, met and came to the conclusion that they would seek the back-to-the-soil meth- od of amusement, if only for one even'ng. Charles Dewey, whose most serious trouble is clipping coupons and sign- ing checks, originated the plan. He is not a very old. man, this Charlie Dewey, but he is rather blase to the conventional and customary diver- sions of his set. He yawned in a very tired way and suggested that he and his other millionaire chums get “the girls” and see how it really feels “4 be just a farmer or something like that. The plan met with approval from the other society bloods. They or- ganized a barn dance. Invitations Were carried verbally. Everything Was arranged with an idea to making the function not grotesque, but “as nearly life-like as possible.” So a barn was engaged in the out- skirts of Chicago, and, all unan- nounced, some forty of the sons and daughters of Chicago’s moneyed so- Carriages fantastic show or any.effort to be Otherwise than they would probably have been had nature and circum- stances cast them for their assumed parts rather than for the more fortu- nate roles which they really live.

About the barn, on all sides, were faces and figures familiar to the so- ciety reporters and society people. The forms, usually graeed with Paris gowns of costly stuffs, were arrayed in calicoes and muslins and ginghams. The coiffures, accustomed to jeweled tiaras, were metamorphosed into bangs and braids. The hands which had known flash- ing gems were bate. The men, pa- trons of tailors who charge as only tailors to the elite know how to charge, were clad in a wide range of garments that’ began with jeans and jumpers and reached their limit in such suits.\as janitors would wear on a Sunday outing or dry goods clerks would throw away. : The contrast was most notable in DIDN'T LAST LONG. - H who set out to live it: 8 O’clock—"“Isn’t it delicious?

But it is at Weston, Mo., that the '-* excitement is the greatest right now, ae yi _for it was near Weston that it was © © discovered that the land was even "} better than that of Kentucky for raising tobacco and that the land aa rs Would produce a greater yield of the Weed to the acre than the famous blue grass soil of the tobacco State. Kentucky raises from a thousand to eighteen hundred pounds of tobac- —€0 to the acre. The average yield of * Missouri soil is, at the lowest, 2000 | pounds to the acre. The land which will produce this yield runs on both of the Missouri River from the estern part of the State to the east- h, and everywhere is that soil of mestone formation which will yield maehacco far greater returns than = ¥ in the Union— ZThe Boom Near Weston, Where ~. Barns Are Going Up—500.000 could be possible from any other crop. The future of Missouri is in tobacco, Kentuckians say, and the Kentuckians ought to know, for they come from a State where they have done nothing else but raise tobacco ever since they can remember. In Weston now are more than three hundred Kentuc“ians,. raisers of tobacco, tobacco experts, buyers and workers, They have gone there since the tobacco troubles of Ken- tucky in the last year or twe, and they say that they do not intend to return, for they have found a hew bonanza, a placé which will bear the same relation to the tobacco indus- try that Alaska did to gold. Every day brings more men with their families from the Eastern State, who have come to test the wonderful growing powers of Missouri's soil. And every day causes more activity and excitement in Wes-on. OLDER THAN KANSAS CITY. Weston, by the way, has gone to- bacco crazy. So have the towns of Platt City, De Kalb, Dearborn and Liberty. Once, not so very long ago, these towns, which were made long before Kansas City was thought of, were neglected, unheard of. But now, activity has come. The one-track switches that once stood empty, are now filled with freight cars loaded with lumber for the building of tobac- co barns. Along the dirt streets Wagons creak under the loads of wood and in the meadows that were silent except for the lowing of cattle, comes the sound of hammers as the unfinished barns mount higher. and higher in the air. This is the work of a year and a half, since the “discovery”’ of the to- bacco powers of the soil. Figure then what the result of 10 years will be. At present there are 30 tobacco barns near Weston. But next sum- mer there are to be 100. Each tobac- co barn represents 10 acres of land under tobacco cultivation, for. the barns are built to accommodate about 20,000 pounds of the weed. One hundred barns will mean 1000 acres of tobacco, or 2,000,000 pounds. This year Weston’s tobacco sold in Louisville—readily. too—at an av- erage price of 18 cents a pound. At that rate the tobacco output from the country surrounding Weston next year will be $360,000. And the best part of all is that-more than one- third of this amount will be profit to the growers, Scientists in Washington have just declared that wheat should sell for $1.24 a bushel in order for the farm- er to make a profit, because it costs him $1.19.a bushel to raise it. Ware- house men in Kentucky, who have seen the quality of M'ssouri tobacco and heard of the yielding power of the ground, say it can be sold at 10 cents a pound and still be raised at a profit. The American Tobacco Co., too. has begun to realize the power of Missou- ri’s future as a tobacco State. It has established a warehouse at Weston and placed a buyer, C. L,. Head, there. WA. gay, rs NDEPENDENT 21IN. THE WORLD TOBACCO BUYER, PRE- DIC'TS MISSOUR! WILL SECOND TOBACCO STATE BE P Setore mead came Weston had a buyer, however, in W. A. Gray, an in- dependent tobacco man, and one whom the night rider troubles of Ken- tucky caused to come to Missouri. Now, he is glad he came. When the pools and independent trusts were formed in Kentucky, Gray was a Warehouse owner in Flemings- burg. His warehouse was threatened, and for the rest of the season, Gray’s warehouse was guarded by men with Winchesters. The crop was finally sold. Then Gray came to Missouri. “T came on a short visit first to in- vestigate,” he said the other day in the town, “and it didn’t take me long to decide. I made a flying trip back to Kentucky to get my family. Then I came out here, bought my ware- house, and I’m here to stay. “It’s the tobacco country of the fu- ture,” he said, enthusiastically. “Why, I've seen tobacco land ever since I was old enough to know what tobacco looked like, but this is the best that I ever saw, for the growing of white burley tobaceo. Within three years this county alone will be raising 10,- 000,000 pounds of tobacco a year. “And when that comes there will be other counties that are raising just as much, for I believe this land pre- va‘ls throughout the State. Then the tobacco market will be divided. Of course, Louisville will remain the ‘vo- bacco market of the world, but there will be others. The principal one, I believe will be either at Kansas City or St. Louis. “As St. Lou's has now one of the large tobacco factories it probably will be there, unles independent fac- tories locafe in Kansas City. But it will be at one of the two places. Ken- tuc’y, in its good years, raises about 350,000,000 pounds of tobacco. With- n ten years Missouri will be raising nearly as much.” ) AT GRAY’S WAREHOUSE. In Gray’s warehouse, about a mile from Weston, men were pressing to- bacco into hogsheads and preparing it for shipment. Near them was an- other man, rather short and sharp eyed, who critically examined every handful of the cured tobacco as he took it from the huge stacks and threw it into a pile on the floor for the packers. “That’s rather poor, ‘sn’t it?” the visitor assed as he loo’ed at a pile of dry, crumbling .tobacco. “That won't bring more than 7 cents a pound, will it?” | The sorter, J. C. Browning, a leaf dealer of Louisville before the night rider troubles began, smiled, while the three men who had been turning a large press stopped to listen. “It'll bring nearer 17 cents,” he said. ““There’s some of the finest to- bacco for granulation I ever saw. Other tobacco may be prettier, but it’s plug tobacco.” He walked to a stack of tobacco and pulled forth a dark brown, sil cy leaf. ; “There's your fine grade plug leaf,” he said. “Kentucky never grew finer.

The 27 other farms averaged a yield of 2000 pounds to the acre and the price was from 16 to 20 cents a pound. While Missouri’s tobacco raising qualities were only “discovered”. about two years ago, there was one who knew of them many years before that and whose work with tobacco finally brought the fact to notice. He is R. J. Coffey, a druggist of Weston. COFFERY WAS KNOWING. Coffey saw the tobacco and ailso saw the opportunities, He let it be known to the ones in Kentucky who were dissatisfied with conditions there that out here in the West was a State that could do just as well as the Bluegrass State could. And it, was he who persuaded the men to come. But before him was Canby Hawk- ins, the tobacco pioneer. It was about * fifteen years ago that Hawkins, who lived about three miles from Weston, planted a few rows of white burley tobacco in one corner of his garden. tions, but Canby never before saw tobacco grow like that, even back in the Bluegrass State, where he came from. The tcbacco tasted good, too, after it was cured. . little more—for his own consump- on.. like leaves spread wider and wider as the summer progressed, and again came a good yield for Hawkins. For about eight years this continued and then Hawkins decided t¢é go at it on a larger scale. ; inches tall and Again the+long, elephant ear- the meanwhile, So he planted an acre and again had ‘set every 1 good success. The next year he planted a little more, and in a few years Hawkins’ wagons were hauling mysterious-ap- pearing hogsheads to the freight de- pot and Hawkins’ purse was becoming fatter and fatter. | Coffey had heard of the hogsheads. He investigated and found that the cause of it all was tobacco. That was two years ago... When the trouble came in Kentucky Coffey saw the chance for Missouri and advertised the place. His work is already beginning to be -noticed, ard in 10 years more that work will have become a matter of history. For Hawkins and Coffey are the fathers of the Missouri tobacco industry. It is tobacco planting time now. The seeds are not sown. broadcast in the field, but are sown in a small in- closure, ‘where the ground has been harrowed thoroughly. Above the place where the seeds are sown, mus- lin is stretched to protect the plants when they begin to grow. By May the plants will be about six So the next year, Canby planted just Profit 1 F ALL the people in this coun- () try who keep poultry it is. safe to say that eight out of every ten make the production of new-laid eggs their first consideration, and for every one of these there are hun- dreds of others who fail to avail themselves of equally advantageous opportunities. Despite the immense advance that has been made in all branches of utility poultry culture during the past 10 years, the genuine new-laid egg be- comes dearer every year and less eas- ily obtained, especially in winter. It has no equal: substitute—nothing else ever quite takes the place of the real- ly bona fide new-laid egg. And yet there are thousands of people who keep on paying for what they might themselves easily produce at small cost and at the same time provide themselves with a pleasurable hobby. A hobby may be a source of profit or the reverse, but with a little ex- perience and common sense, that of keeping a few fowls in order to pro- vide one’s Own breakfast table with the delightful “new-laid” which ev- eryone enjoys, and which is so much more dependable as to its age when “manufactured on the premises,” is one that might be indulged in by thousands more than is done at the present time. Very few, except the most closely confined, but have some available spot where a pen of fowls may be kept, and the cost of converting such places into a suitable run is usu- ally small. In this article it is assumed that the reader bas a suitable locale. How. then, can the new-laid egg be profita- bly produced and the supply kept up all the year round? In the first place, it should be noted that in every house there is a Poultry Roaising on S$ a aie a» i Mad Fresh Eggs and Home-Raised Fried Chicken, as Well as a Pleasant Diversion, Within the Reach of Almost Anyone---Pointers About the Chicken Business quantity of scraps which make: a most useful addition to the poultry menu, and which would otherwise be wasted. It is fair to leave these out of the cost of keep, and they form one of the advantages which the small poultry keeper obtains over the keeper of large flocks. There are, then, three important points to be taken into account— feeding, management, and strain. he cost of the purchased food for a lay- ing hen, allowing for rates paid for small quantities in retail and taking the average market prices, will make it necessary for a hen to lay only 78 eggs per annum to clear the cost of the food purchased for her, and a hen that did not lay at least 120 eggs per annum is not worth keep- ing, as this number can doubtless be considerably exceeded by careful se- lection and breeding specially to a laying strain. There are plenty of hens that have been bred up to over 200 eggs per arfhum, but taking the very low esti- mate of 120 there would be a profit to the keeper. And it must be noted that it is in this point that the ama- teur gains.

With copper receptacles containing distilled water absolutely * discov-. without any trace of lithium, cértsin traces of that metal made their up- pearance after 24 hours under the ap- plication of radium. The same result took place in the case of quartz re- ceptacies. Mme. Curie and Mile. Cle- ditch thereupon used a platinum ap- paratus.

No one ever heard of a kingdom ceasing to exist because no king could be wund to take the place of the one who died. No one ever heard of an army dispersing because no general could be found. But in Chicago a gituation hitherto unknown has been discovered when a “corporation which is solvent by mil- lions on the right side of the bal- ance, which has assets and will worth more millions and whose pa- trons are clamoring for it to remain ‘alive, closes out voluntarily because its head has died and the world can- _ mot yield another who can fill the place. Charles La Tour Furey, little known to fame in his lifetime outside the circle on La Salle street tn and in a few banks in New _ York, is the wonderful man whose proved that he was indis- £ was the president of the ' Guaranty Co., os $600,090 mas corporation. Associated with him were men of no puny ability, as abil- ity goes in the world of large finance. Furey died—died suddenly. The physicians diagnosed the cause is “Americanitis,” that complication of ailments and derangements sui gen- eris to the Américan business man who works hard, thinks hard, eats hurriedly and ‘warries his business home with him. Furey owned the majority of the stock, some 62 per cent. He was gen- eral manager and chairman of the ex- ecutive board. He ran the business, as he had created it, almost alone. HALF MILLION IN CASH. Upon his death an accounting was prepared. It was found that the cor- poration was in splendid condition. It had $550,000,.more than all its de- mand iiabilities, on deposit in cash in a single bank, not to speak of an almost equal amount scattered through various other institutions, and a batch of mortgages and bonds that were as good as the proverbial wheat. The company dealt in a unique sort of bond, the invention of Furey. But thereby hangs another interesting story, which will-be detailgd at some length before we close this tale of the indispensable man. The ability to .create.these wonderful ways af making money was only one of thé. elements that made Charles La Tour Furey indispensable. The dignified directors called a dig- nified meeting and decided that Furey’s place must be filled at once. His profits had been $100,000 a year and his salary had been $50,000, and he earned every cent of it. The cor- poration was willing to give as large a salary to his successor and a man was found who jumped at the chance. He took over the place and sat at Furey’s desk and in. his swiveled chair. He talked in large figures and got himself some extra stenographers. But business began to drop fright- fully. Deals in prospect which had never. been regarded as atliything less than certainties as long as Furey held the pen, fell away and became failures. New business almost ceased. The $50,000 man was superseded. * Another was tried. And another— and then some more. P When these, one after the” other, failed to reach within many lengths of the Furey mark, the directors’ brows became corrugated, the stock- holders began to grumble and La Salle street knew from one end to the other that the American Guaranty Co. was fosing ground rapidly. “WHAT OAN WH por’ They tried again. Other officers of the corporation tried their genius at the impossible task. A man ‘was brought from Wall street to inject again the Furey virus. But it was no use. Mrs. Furey still held the stock which her husband had owned. She saw it becoming worthless. She called a meeting and through her lawyer she laid before the directors the remarka- ble proposition that when her hus- band died he left a vacancy that no other living man could ffl. “What can we do?” cried the di- rectors. “We must disband,” she said. The directors threw their hands aloft. It was unheard of. . Here was a company which had brought in profits of more than $200,-. 000 a year. The assets were still as- sets. The good will was still 'n‘act and the scheme of operations which had been pursued was stil) sound. , They pleaded for time, and time was given them for further experi- menting. Again the proper results did not come forth, and again Mrs. Furey called them together and told them that, as the majority stockhold- er she demanded that the company be dissolved and the assets be divided. The stockholders protested and pro- crastinated. Mrs. Furey,. convinced of her po- sition, remarkable as it appeared, au- thorized her lawyer to go into ,the courts. He did so. most surprising court records ever filed. In West Virginia, the -corporate home of the company, he filed a bill for dissolution. It set out that the corporation was solvent beyond any question, that no creditor had uttered a murmur, but that the principal holder believed she could derive great- er profit by dissolution and distribu- tion of the assets than by further con- tinuing the business, which had proved itself a gold mine.

The facts were laid before them. The recent declines and reverses were re- called to them. Every one of them was asked the reason, and, without dissent, every one of them sald, half unwillingly: “After Furey died nobody could be found to do his work.” So much for the demonstration of his indispensability. Now for a little history of his achievements and the qualities that made him indispenable. * Thirty years ago young Furey_was an office boy in the employ of @ man named Charles Steele, who Was pros- perous and thought that he was mak- ing the most of his opportunities. The boy was not backward. He formed a few ideas and he told his employer of them. He got sneers at first but attention later, and then Steele put a few of the ideas into practice and made himself a rich man. Then Furey quit his employ because he felt that he oould make himself rich, too, having a few ideas still left. When he told the protesting Steele that he had decided to quit. working for a salary, Steele offered to finance anything that the youth wanted to undertake. He provided capital and young Furey increased it in several finan- cial ventures. Then, about twenty ‘years ago, Furey came to Steele and laid before him a financial proposi- tion which was the beginning of the American Guaranty Co., and which for beautiful simplicity and certainty of big returns has probably never been excelled. — He proposed to.start a sort of in- surance company, with the Insurance feature omitted. This was the won- derful bond spoken of above. He proposed that a bond or contract be issued for amounts ranging be- tween $1000 and $10,000, to be sold to investors on terms whereby they could pay certain amounts each year, the average contemplating the full payment within twenty years. On these bonds the company guar- anteed 6 per cent interest. The man who bought a $5000 bond paid $250 a year, or $5 a week, for 20 years. It was a plain banking proposition, with twice as much interest as a bank paid. _ That was simple enough. The com-

~result was certain. pahy could reinvest the money and earn 6 per cent on it, with mortgages on stable realty and minor public service corporations. There could be no loss except the expense. - Where then was the profit to come?

A clause was inserted in the bond that after two years of payments, on the days specified and to the full amount specified, the bond became a liability against the company and car- ried a set loan and surrender value. But, if there was a lapse of payment before that period, all the money paid in was lust to the bondholder. Steele questioneu the legality of such a bond. A test case was made on the first bond issued. An initial payment was made and then the bond was declared forfeit when the next week’s installment failed to ar- rive by 6 o’clock of the day set. The courts held it legal. It was car- ried to the Supreme Court of the United States and. there the bond was again ratified. That left no obstacles in the way, the $500,000 company was easily financed and Furey was put at its head. Furey had studied. statistics of in- surance companies. He had always displayed a genius for matters of in- surance. HE FOUGHT PUBLICITY. He found that a large percentage of the policies lapsed under the old form of policy which made the _ entire amount paid in forfeited when a pay- ment was not on time. He ealcu- lated that in his company the same And‘so it proved. Within five years the amount cf the bonds’ issued was nearly $10,000,- 000. Steadily the total increased, until five years ago the $15,000,000 mark was reached. Then Furey called a halt. Various state legisla- tures were legislating against company, demanding large reserve funds on deposit to secure the bonds within their limits, and the com- pany had already $1,200,000 in idle

Debutantes to the Fore in

~~ London Now In Court Society in England, the Young Buds Must Be Economical and Not Spend More Than $2500 for a Dress HE London season opens during the first week of February, but until the dawn of May only debutantes and brides are prominent. It is their privilege to attend the first courts of the season, in order that they may begin their society careers properly by curtseying before their Majesties at Buckingham Palace. girl or bride is considered correct un- til this ordeal has been undergone, and preparations for the great func- tion are bufficient to keep West End shops-on the qui vive,from the pre- vious December onwards. The importance of the courts to London’s trade may be gauged from the precautions taken by the mer- chants to forestall postponement. In the first place, they insure the King’s life for a period covering the season, and at the same time take out a pol- icy insuring the lives of all those persons whose deaths would mean abandonment of the courts. Later, @ further policy against an accident to the King is taken out. But the debutante never thinks of anything so disquieting. Having led a life bounded by the walls of her fa- ther’s mansions, the prospect of meeting royalty and entering upon the greater life of a London season is 80 alluring that even the Christmas No. festivities are voted of comparative unimportance. Visits to dressmak- ers are frequent early in January, and everything possible is done to make certain of success. Extravagance is not encouraged by royalty nowadays, and good taste is preferred.to mere prodigality of dis- play. Nevertheless, a dress for a girl of 18’ or 20, costing anything from $250 to $2500, seems an enormous sum, though, if the buyer is extreme- ly wealthy, it cannot be termed too much. And, in any case, it does good to the trade. To obtain the card of invitation from the Lord Great Chamberlain is an easy matter, provided the debu te knows two persons whose rep tions and recommendation can be ac- cepted by the court officials as a passport to royalty. Towards the close of Queen Vie- toria’s life the impression got abroad that it really didn't matter when the debutante attended a court. She en- joyed h at balls and parties, and then picked ont a drawing room that Thus, in February, many girls will pass the presence at Buckingham Pal- ace before they can be certain of in- vitations to the houses of the half- dozen ladies who rule society. And, in order not to miss any. important dance or dinner, they all try to get presented at the very first court. Some of the debutantes this year are very interesting, because of the families they represent. Lord Salis- bury’s eldest daughter, Lady Beatrice Cecil, the granddaughter of the fa- mous Prime Minister, will make her debut at the first court, and her. This was resented by the ter grande dames of society, who speed- fly let it be known that they would not dream of receiving any girl who jng Oe ed had not previously curtseyéd the Queen or her son s SUNDAY MAGAZINE ST.

Here is a demand that is ly unlimited. f. “4 Wit of most unusual training for the further advance. The man who likes the gamey fldvor of wild meat finds in a juicy venison steak, hot from the coals of. the broiler, or in a steaming venison rump roast, a most delicious and nourishing food. The big hotels and cafes of the great cities serve venison as a rare treat and charge their rich guests a stiff price for the gratification of their appetites. Sometimes an unscrupulous cook substitutes high-grade, brush-fed An- gora goat. venison for the genuine venison, and with slight danger of detection from the layman. Venison, however, has its own peculiar ind delicious flavor and the man who has acquired a liking for it is not read- ily fooled by mutton or goat venison. One of the largest and most suc- cessful deer farms in the central States is that of John W. Griggs of Iowa. He has a large farm of rich prairie land and devotes but a small acreage to the deer. They are han- died simply as a side line to general farming and one that shows a nice balance on-the credit side of the farm ledger. Mr. Griggs’ experience in raising deer extends over the past 15 years. He is an old settler, visiting North- ern Iowa as a hunter and trapper over forty years ago, and shortly aft- erwards making his home here. At that time Northern lowa was the sportsman'’s paradise of small game, and an occasional deer was to be found along the wooded valleys, Mr. Griggs has always been a lover of wild animals and a close student of their habits. The trapper’s tife fave abundant opportunity for this. mn later years he still hunts for sport's sake, and the growing scarcity of game demands a keen knowledge of wild game habits if the hunter ~o- turns successful from the chase, He likes to handle and make pets of various animals, and his little farm park has at one time or another con- tained deer, elk, wolves, rabbits, wild geese and other wild animals. §o it happens that this man has’ had a cessful breeding of deer. bie Fifteen years ago two deer wore secured for the little house yard park. They Were nice pets, dainty and ‘n- teresting and asked little in the way of care except grass and water in the summer and a few ears of corn in winter. Several years later he began to save the doe fawns and purchased a few more, and these, with an -occa- sional buck to infuse fresh blood ‘n the herd have rapidly increased until the herd now numbers close to 190 head each fall before the surplus are sold. Until the last few years the surplus was mostly sold alive for park-stocking purposes, but recently the venison market has been given most attention. The Virginia or white-tail deer is the deer that has been found most successful in this environment. This is the common deer of the United States and embraces several distinct types that differ somewhat from each other. Each type seems to have had its native habitat along definite lines of latitude from the Atlantic to ‘he Rocky Mountains, with the _ types gradually mérging from one to the other between these lines. The dif- ferences appear to be largely due to the varying climate conditions. The Minnesota or Northern white- tail is the largest type, with coarse hair, short and strong legs and a good body. The type found in the cen- tral states, generally known as the Virginia, is a somewhat smaller deer, t'ner haired, neater turned and finer boned. This is the deer that was common to Iowa and Northern Mis- souri in the early days. South of this was found the Ar- kansas white-tail, which is a trifle more leggy, with longer body and neck and a thin, fine coat of hair. The natural characteristics of each type best adapt it to the climate of its own original home. The black-tail deer comprises two common types, the mule black-tail, with is native to the Rocky Moun- tains and foothills, and the Colum- bia black-tail, which is native to the Pacific slope. These black-tail deer are by nature at home in the high and dry climate of the mountains and foothilis and do not seem to thrive so well in the humid states of the Mississippi Valley. Mr. Griggs has at one time or an- other tried all of these various types of deer, and finds that each has some good points. His choice for Northern Iowa is the Virginia, or central type, white-tail. The northern type does practicaily as well, but the Southern type does «ot ‘stand the cold winters like its North- ern brothers. Southern breeders would doubtless find the Arkansas deer already acclimated and most profitable in a Southern’ environ- ment. It is a remarkable thing that while deer have been an important factor both as food and clothing in the iife of man since the earliest record, yet only one species, the reindeer, has been domesticated. The efforts ‘to domesticate and raise deer have been generally spasmodic and experimen- b tal. DO BETTER IF SEMI-WILD However, it will doubtless be found that better results and fewer losses will obtain by raising deer in a semi- wild state rather than under complete domestication. Domestication would probably destroy to some extent ‘he natural hardiness of the animals. When properly handled, deer in captivity are hardy and very prolific. The mating season is in November. A doe breeds usually at 18 months, but sometimes an early fawn that has received good care and the does well fed will breed at six or seven months. Mr. Griggs aims to carry 35 breed- ing does over each season and counts on fifty to sixty fawns. In a private game preserve owned by a wealthy New Jersey man, 19 head increased to 400 in 10 years. In the preserve of a Pennsylvania hunting club 90 head, mostly doea, increased to nearly 2000 head in six years and 1000 fawns were expected in the seventh year. The fawns are beautiful little crea- tures and are born with all the in- herent fear of man of a wild fawn in the woods. They are gray, with white spots, until the new coat of hair grows out in the fall, when they become a dirty gray that har- monizes with bare limbs and the trunks of trees and bushes. It ig :e- markable how many deer can stand in a little thicket and not one be vis- ible to the “unpracticed eye. The fawns require no attention young except to be left strictly alone with their mothers. The deer is a natural timber ani- mal, always living around more or lees timber in its wild state. © Its natural food is es, twigs,’ sprouts, acorns and other nuf&, fruits and ber- when. ries, with some grask and tender plants and weeds that'grow in the woods. Under semi-domestic condi- tions they will thrive on weeds of most kinds, with some grass, clover and alfalfa preferred, but do not eat much timothy or bluegrass. Coarse feeds such as weedy hay, oats straw and fodder are relished. And most essential of all, a grove is needed to supply leaves and twigs, as well as to furnish shelter. The leaves that fall with the com- ing of frost are all picked up and eaten long before spring. During the winter no water need be furnished, as the deer prefer to eat snow, but at other seasons water must be sup- plied in liberal quantities. Running water or lakes are, of course, prefera- le. , Where land is valuable and there is not abundant range, part of the deer park should be planted in win- ter wheat or rve for winter pastur- age. One successful breeder plants a few acres each year to the weediest oats he; can find, and the more mus- tard the better. Rape, cowpeas and similar plants are also relished. During the winter, grain must he fed. Also grain should be fed to the breeding does in summer if the fawns are to be pushed for an early market. Grain should also be fed lib- erally for a month or six weeks just previous to the mating season. This is the only time of the year that che deer eat much grain, and for about five weeks, beginning the last of September, they have sharp appetites and lay on flesh rapidly if given a full feed. SEPTEMBER VENISON BEST This is when the best venison igs secured, and is, in fact, the only time when they are ordinarily killed for the market. By the middle of No vember the appetite fails and they eat scantily the rest of the winter, coming out in the spring thin, put not unduly poor, regardless of the amount of grain offered them. Corn is perhaps the best grain feed. Bran and other mill feed is greatly rep ished, but is usually more expensive for the farmer in the corn belt. The corn, either on the ear or shelled, is simply scattered on the dry ground and the deer pick up every kernel as do sheep. Some breeders furnish salt in abundance and others never feed salt except to entice the herd into strange quarters or unfre- quented yards. Fencing is probably the most ex- pensive single item connected with the business. A good fence is re- quired, not only to keep in the deer, but also keep out dogs and wolves. Mr. Griggs uses an eight-foot woven wire fence, using. heavy posts set one rod apart. The deer are extreme- ly timid and nervous when excited and frightened, dash off and some- times run blindly into the fence, so it takes a well-built fence to turn them. Deer have heavy coats of hair that are waterproof and afford them abundant protection from the sever- est weather, provided they can get out of the wind. Timber of some kind, preferably thick with open ground either around or through it, is necessary, both for protection from bad weather and tw give them a hid- ing place when frightened, as well as to furnish a large share of their food. Small underbrush is soon cleared »:1t by their browsing, but they are not so destructive as goats in this re- spect. Given intelligent care and natural conditions, deer are exceedingly hardy. They do not seem to be both- ered with the diseases and parasites common to domestic animals. With a little care they will practically raise themselves. No domestic animal, with the possi- ble excéption of the goat, requires so little attention. New blood must be secured and inbreeding avoided if this natural hardiness is preserved. Fresh blood can be obtained f..m other breeders, but the best method is to get a buck that has been caught in the woods. A vigorous buck will take care of a dozen or fifteen does. WHAT BUCKS WEIGH They are very sure and regular breeders, barreness being rare under conditions that approximate the wild life. There are a few diseases that sometimes take toll of the flock. The worst of these is said to be “black tongue,” which seems to be either an infectious. or a contagious disease. It is highly probable, however, that the major part of such losses can be traced to improper handling or to weakened constitution due to line breed‘ng. The white-tail bucks range in weight from 150 to 300 pounds and the does weigh from 120 to nearly 204 pounds at maturity, or four years of age. Early fawns that have been pushed by feeding the does often weigh 70 to 90 pounds at 6 months old. The usual time for killing for venison is at 18 months, when a good doe weighs 130 and a buck 160 pounds. A deer carcass dressed ready for the market carries head, legs and skin, so the shrink in dressing is very light, running around 25 to 30 per cent. Two years ago the Chicavo market netted the grower 23 cents per pound and last year 25 cents. It can readily. be seen that the ven- ison market is profitable. The com- mission firms will contract for a grower’s entire surplus and order reg- ular shipments each week during the season. The preparation for the market is simplicity itself.

ucver tO De Lrusted any move than are the males: of the domestic animals, Particularly is this true at the mat- ing season, when the “gentle” net who has overcome his fear of man may become a most dangerous brute without an instant’s warning. Occasionally the old bucks get cross and ugly with the rest of the herd and there is more or less loss from stabbed does or young bucks that do not get out of the way quick enough at feeding time. On large ranges this does not often occur. A cross buck should be sold for venison. A good:market could be worked up for skins and mounted heads if one cared to take the trouble. The tanned skins make elegan{ rugs or blankets, but the hair is too coarse and brittle to stand the rough handling of a robe or fur coat. If it can lay flat like a rug it will take a lot of hard serv- ice. A buck with an exceptionally nice head will command $5 extra in the carcass. A mounted head should bring from $15 up, depending on the skill of the taxidermist and the ex- tent of the antlers. : A herd of elk or wapiti was at one time maintained by Mr. Griggs, but they were not found so profitable as deer. The elk is a prairie animal, living mostly on grass, with just from the raiser. enough leaves and browse for dessert. It therefore requires larger pastur- age for summer and large quantities of hay and grain in winter. The elk is a large animal, weighing up to 800 and 1000 pounds, and will eat nearly as much as a steer. But one calf is born at a time and*the cows do not ordinarily breed until the third year. Elk seem to thrive under harder con- ditions than deer and may prove more profitable under the semi-arid conditions of the West and Sourh- west. A SUCCESS IN OZARKS. Successful herds have been main- tained in the Ozark region of Ar- kansas. and. on the plains of Wyo- ming. Less fencing is required than’ with deer, and elk will run with other domestic stock on large ranges. The venison is rather coarse, but of remarkable flavor in season. ‘The bulls are particularly dangerous, and even the cows.attack man sometimes when the calves are young. To be successful with deer eral be. considered “dead’ . ticular point and a spécial ruling of the game officials might be secured that would give the private owner full authority. . Where wild game exists the market- ing of venison raised in wity must necessarily be hedged with strict regulations. At the same time it is not difficult to devise a system of killing and marketing that | will protect both the wild deer and the private owner. Among the states that have recent- ly enacted such legislation is Missou- ri, which permits the shipment and sale in the markets of the State of either deer or elk, dead or alive, from private preserves when accompanied by a tag from the County Game War- . den showing the owner, where killed and to whom shipped. mits those who raise deer for the market to ship or kill and sell at any time. The Indiana law is similar. Arkansas allows the shipment or sale of deer or fawhs raised in cap- tivity for domestic purposes and when accompanied by an affidavit aor": Sacto Se cense for a private game and a spall for each animal solid. The Mi ly the same.. Iowa has no wild deer left and does net hamper the. pri- vate owner. : ; If shipments are to be made into’ other states, compliance must he made with their laws also. The State Game Warden should. be consulted and the exact facts ascertained as 16 one’s rights before either shipping or selling deer. Sati arrange- ments can generally be perfected in cases where no specific lations. govern. Unless one acts within his rights in such matter he is subject.to . heavy fines. John W.

The eminent author and naturalist, known everywhere in America for many delightful books and for critical writings thgt have placed him in the front rank of American men of letters, has been attending lectures on soils and fertilizers, cows, chickens and vegetables and performing all the duties of a student at New York State Agri- cultural College, a department of Cornell Uni- ‘versity. Although he was brought up on a farm, and has himself operated one with eminent suc- cess quring a great part of his life, he declares that he finds there is still much to learn about it at school, and more pleasure than ever in sys- tematic study. The last time Mr. Burroughs went to school until he visited Cornell this spring was in the summer of 1856, when he atterded Cooperstown Seminary. He was then 19 years old. In the 53 years that have 2lapsed since then hé has been a sonsistent student, especially of all problems con- nected with the growing of things. His farm is scientifically operated and all the nodern ‘neth- os of intensive agriculture that apply are us2d. There are few men in thie country with broader or more intimate knowledge of the marvelous development.of scientific farming. One of the most interesting classmates of Mr. Burrouchs is a woman, Mrs. Olive Brown Sarre, the authorfty on Japanese architecture and Jap- anese arts and crafts, who is managing a large estate in the foothills of the Catskills,,where she is doing some interesting things in the raising of fanev chickens,*tur’eys and squabs. Mrs. Sarre hrs been attend'ng the classes throughout the win- ter and it was her interest and enthusiasm that ine iced Mr. Burrcughs to visit the university. Mr. Burroughs did not take any of the regular courses, but attended the lectures in each of the departments. This is what he said about it to a representative of this paper on bis return to his home in West: Park, N. Y., last week: “IT was quite delighted with the work that is being done at the university and with the amount of profit and pleasure I received from attending the lectures. It was, too, a good deal of satis- one of my own special studies, made necessary in the conduct of my fruit farm. ; “On the matter of soils, too, I found I was quite modern, but I learned some most astonishing facts about fertilizers. For instance, the experts esti- mate that $350,000,000 worth of barnyard manure is wasted in the United States every year. That is, $350,000,000 more in marketable crops could be raised in the United States each year if our 5,000,- 000 farmers knew how to mexke the best use of this material, providing, of course, that it was saved intelligently. That seemed to me a very big fact. If all the farmers could have heard that. lecture that I heard and would apply the simple

These hard-headed business men with a lifetime of experience in raising things from the soil had simply bee. too busy to find out what their soil needed and how mutch, though that is surely the fundamental principle of the whole business. “That is the kind of knowledge we go back to school for, the necessary, practical knowledge that makes for higher efficiency. I suppose it .is not so much that we have‘changed, though we do grow humbler as we see how little we know, but that schools have changed. “When I went to school as a boy in a farming community the idea of learning farming in school would have seemed a huge and unattractive joke. Today the modern farmer’s sons who are to take over their father’s estate do not consider them- . selves well fitted for life till they have made but- ter and cheese in @ model college dairy, learned the tests in the laboratory, studied the chem'stry of foods and of the soil and its practical applica- tion, and, in fact, laid a groundwork of exact knowledge and applied it under ideal conditions. “That is typical of the modern schooling. It is not true only of the agricultural courses: In every department of education it seems to me we are getting closer to the heart of things, at once more practical and more scientific. The step between theory and its application is becoming shorter. “There ‘s another reason why we grown-ups are going back to school. We find, in truth, that we are never too old to learn; that study is. not

‘ only a preparation for life—it is the very breath of life. -_We are old only when we have ceased to advance in knowledge. “IT have sought, above all things, to keep my mind receptive to new facts and points of view, and I believe I have succeeded.

At making a vice of virtue he stands without a peer. “and up until now Uncle Anthony's butt-in av- erage has been 1000. But he certainly lost a swell chance to take a hand at grab the drama by its back aot and reforming it. The managers beat him to it. “4 bunch of the most prominent prolucers got together here the other day and looked over the situation. It was depressing in the extreme. A puckered public taste was leading the crowd to go to bad shows when they had plenty just as SUNDAY MAGAHINE ST. LOUIS — ; bad, if not worse, that were playing nightly to audiences consisting of a bored orchestra and -he house treasurer’s lady friend. Goodness knows they’d done everything, althougn I hesitate to use the word goodness,in this connection. Anyway; they’d done everything that human beings and press agents could think of. They’d started out by dressing their show ladies on the half-shell and gradually removed everything, piece by piece, un- til the final costume bore a strong resemblance to that worn by Young Kid Siilton when he goes on for a six-round bout with Battling Brie before the Cheesmont Athletic Club. “They'd got out a dainty line of posters.showing a fair damsel of the chorus, with everything taken off except the enamel on her teeth. They'd induced the police force to raid ’em from time to time, and the crowd that gathered about the patrol wagon walked away withdut buying any tickets from the speculators on the sidewalk. They'd worked the press to a perspiration’ and the pulpit to a pulp, trying to get a few editors and clergymen to give ’em a line of desirable free advertising by warning everybody to stay away from. their houses. And still it looked as if the only way to help business would be to let the ushers bring their wives. “So they got together, as I was saying, and decided by a unanimous vote that it was high time to uplift the drama a few hurried lifts, and they’re noW engaged in doing same, partly by a spirited campaign for the purification of the stage and partly by handing the opposition a hearty wallop on the point of the jaw every now and then. Yes, sir, the movement is certainly boom- ing. And why shouldn’t it boom? I ask you. “Hasn't it got as its main champion and chief megaphone, a purity expert who qualified for the job a few seasons back when he staged a pro- duction that was talken from the French, the French Health Department concurring, with a lady star in it who was there with a kiss that was a combination of an endurance trial and a rainy spell. This gentleman thinks the day has come when we should return to those peaceful, simple, home-like plays such as our fathers went to see, once. _ “Well, I don’t want you to think I’m of a sus- picious nature, and far be it from me to question any man's motives, but I’ll bet you a good cigar— if there are any good cigars, any more—that the gentleman has a set of “Blue Jeans’ props or ‘Hazel Kirk’ scenery packed away in some storage warehouse somewhere. “The crusade, young and lusty as it is, has been going along like any young and lusty crusade al- ways goes along until it gets a puncture. And so there’s the devil and all to pay. It started out like a good theatrical season, too. To begin with, there was the New Theater nearing com- pletion and rapidly reaching a stage where the three directors would get together and submit three separate and distinct systems for running it. at the ratio of one system per each director. You’ve heard of the New Theater, of course, founded as a place where native American art and genius is to be fostered, and scheduled, ! understand, to open with an English star in a French play, translated by a German author and supported by a strong ¢ompany direct from London. : _ “Where does the American part come in?” in- quired the House Detective. “Oh, it was American money that built it.” said the Hotel Clerk; “and there's also talk of getting a bunch of American stage hends to handle the scenery, although some favor Swedes as beivg willing to work cheaper and not ble to start forming labor unions or anything o sort. “But. be that as it may, the first set>back of POST-DISPATCH» MARCH 7, 1909. a é the season came when somebody witH a stone in his bosom instead of a heart started a war ‘upon the gentle creature known to the trade as The Angel. I don’t know why anybody should want to uproot the angel industry. The angel has cer- tainly been a boon to musical comedy in his day. I’ve known managers that had Little Eva looking like Simon Legree when. it came to starting up in the air and meeting an angel on the way. “But there’s bound to be a lot af jealousy in the producing business, and I imagine that may- be some manager who'd been out angel hunting all fall and hadn’t been able to bag a mess, ob- served a compatriot returning from the chasé with the tips of wings and check books protrud- ing from his game bag, thus denoting the pres- ence of one or moreifallen angels. Naturally, this would be calculated to fill the soul of the first fellow with envy, and the next thing any- body knew there was a proposition up to make it a closed season on that class of kind-hearted, easily touched young men of the millionairing class with money in the bank and a lady friend in the chorus who rather leans toward the idea of doing a little prima donning. “But this onslaught, I may say, met with the silent rebuke which it deserved. Without the first aid of the angel. what would we do for so many of the stars that shine, not to mention so many of the shines that star? “So that fell through, and now comes this inspiring crusade against the saucy show, and the ultra saucy show, not to mention the chili saucy show. Well, so far as-I’m concerned, Lar- ry, I could be just as happy if they never had an- other one of those plays, such as the careful fa- ther forbids his daughter to attend, one reason being that he doesn’t want her to learn about things that she can read on the front page of the paper any morring, and the other reason being that he’s afraid if she does go she might see him there. There’s quite a number of this kind on Broadway right now, against which a pru- dent parent warns his offspring and then tele- phones down to the box office to know when he can get a couple of desirable seats in section A, row 1, directly opposite that point on the stage where the objectionable and disgusting disrobing scenes takes place. “I’m easy to please, Larry. It’s always more or less of a shock to my sensibilities when a man- ager departs from the time-honored traditions of the drama. I like for my comic opera lead to wear white flannel, or‘tenor singing trousers, and chase the limelight over the stage all during ‘the scenes, with one winsome blue eye fixed on the prima donna and the other on the other on the kid behind the calclum up in the gallery. want the chorus to be dressed in red, white and blue tights at the finish of the first act, and line up behind the cast waving the Murikin, Flag as the curtain goes down, because in common with so many of my countrymen, including librettists, I believe it to be all wrong to use the natignal emblem as a label on a box of celluloid collars, but all right to advertise a leg show with. In a melodrama I like for my villain to be addicted to white hair at the and the cigarette hab- it, and to be foiled every few minutes, if ni oftener.

But I doubt whether the en- tire “mogus operandi,” employed by these clever crooks hag ever been ful- , 4 ne before, in afl its various Therefore, for the benefit of the general public, and partioularly for those banks which may not have become familiar with their methods, I ghall endeavor in this article to ex- plain just how these swindlers op- erate, trusting that my story may serve to put those interested on their guard, and save them from being vic- timized in the future. " In the first place, a criminal, in order to be a successful ‘check rais- er,” must possess an intimate knowl- edge of banking methods, must be periectly familiar with the way in which checks and drafts are usually made out, in order that any altera- tions he may make will pass exam- ination, and retain a business-like ap- pearance, Of course, it is likewise necessary that the grafter should look pros- perous, and possess the outward bear- ing of a man used to handling money -.{n large amounts. He must also have an iron nerve and be a fluent and plausible talker. : When it comes to the actual work of raising the original amount of a check or draft to a larger figure, the grentest patience and mecharical skill is called for. The crook must also be en expert penman in order that the writing he adds to that already on the check will correspond with it exactly ~ pass the sharp eyes of the er. mS ERASURE WITH ACIDS i In order to “raise” the amount of - a check it is first necessary to erase a portion of the written figures. This the grafter accomplishes by means of specially prepared acids, which, upon being applied to the writing, eradi- cates it completely without leaving a trace or blemish of any kind. They never attempt to remove writ- ing Sy means of a steel ink eraser or with those ready-made “eradicators” commonly sold in stationery stores, as elther of these methods would and Counter- How They ~ exactly like the one used by the bank, and the expert check raiser always has a complete set of these machines, #0 that he can duplicate the figures made by any perforator in existence. The_ principal reason why profes- sional theck raisers have to use spe-. clally prepared acids for removing writing from a check is because many of the banks now use what is known as “safety paper,” and any alterations made on this paper with a ready-made “eradicator’ would show. The check raiser has to be careful to get a check which he is sure wil! be honored for the amount which he intends to raise it to. Therefore, he must ascertain how large a balance the person who signed the check has got to his credit in the bank, and must also be sure that the amount which he is going to make the check call for will not create suspicion when it is presented for payment. Supposing the check raiser has se- cured a check which calls for $8 and he desires to raise it to $80. He sim- ply removes enough of the line fol- lowing the word “Eight” and adds a “y,”’ thus making it read “Righty” dollars, although this amount is not large enough to suit the professional expert, and he would be far more apt to alter the check to read “Eight | Thousand” dollars. + DOLLARS TO THOUSANDS. This would be accomplished by re- moving a portion of the line follow- ing the “Eight” and then writiag in the word “Thousand” after it, which would make the check call for “Eight Thousand” dollars. If the figures $8* were perforated in the check, the crook wpuld secure a blank check of exactly the same color and quality as the original. Then, using the same style of per- forating machine as the bank had used, he would punch out a “star” in the blank check and, taking the tiny, circular dots of paper which had come from thé perforations, he would carefully insert them into the cor- responding perforations in the orig- inal check, using a secret kind of paste or cement to make them stick. Having thus made a smooth sur- face after the figure 8, he would then proceed to perforate three ciphers, and then « star, which would make the figures of the perforator read $8000* a | If the paper of which the check is made is plain white, of course, the work is much easier, as it is often difficult for the crook. to secure a’ blank check to match the original, leave a tell-tale mark and the result of would be a bungling piece of work that would never pass muster. As nearly all bank checks also have the amount for which they are written “punched out” by means of Sometimes the perforations are filled in with a certain composition instead of paper.

It is a well-known fact in police and financial circles that some of the suc cessful criminals in this line have been “pensioned’’ by the banking world, which only goes to prove how dangerous they are. The bankers be- lieve that it is cheaper for them to pay -these clever swindlers to ‘be good” than to allow the crooks to continue their operations against the banks. . That these “pensions” are paid is denied bythe American Bankers As- sociation and by the detective bureau said to have charge of giving out the “pensions.” But, of course, this de- al ig made for perfectly obvious re s, as they no doubt think that were the fact to become generally known among criminals it would have a tendency to make them still more energetic; in the hopes of winning a pension, and n, HO one likes to admit his weakness, or to make his defeat known”: 5 MUST MAK REPORTS. .

But -es moet of the professional experts’ faces and methods are known to all detec- tives and banks throughout the civ- jlised , world, the “pensioners” are kept pretty well in check.

If the person who made out the original check did not use “due caution,”’ the loss falls upon him. But if he can show that he took due precaution‘to protect the paper, then the loss falls on whoever cashed it. : af “Due caution” means that the words and figures must be written so that an insertion cannot be made before or after them, without the obliteration of a portion of the check, and presumably, under modern meth- ods, the check must be perforated, or mechanically protected In some way to prevent alternation.

COL. PATTERSON’S OWN STORY. I.—AN INVITATION TO DINNER. OME little time before the flight of the work- men I had written to Mr. Whitehead, the district officer of the railway’ line, asking him to come up and assist me in my campaign against the lions, and to bring with him any of his native soldiers that he could spare. He re- plied, accepting the invitation, and told me to expect him aboyt dinner time on Dec. 2, which turned out to be the day after the exodus. IT waited for some little time for Mr. Whitehead, but he did not put in dn appearance, so I con- cluded that he must have postponed his journey until.the next day. As I was having my dinner in solitary state, I heard a couple of shots, but paid no attention to them, as rifles were being cohstantly fired in the neighborhood of the camp. Later in the evening I went out. as usual to take up my position and watch for lions in a quarter which I thought was likely to be at- tacked. Soon after settling down at my post I was sur- prised to hear the: man eaters growling and purring and crunchfihg up bones about seventy ya‘ds from the crib of railway sleepers where I was concealed. At daybreak I hurried toward the place where I had last heard the lions. On the way whom should I meet but my missing guest, Mr. White- head, looking very pale and generally disheveled. His clothing was rent by one huge tear from the nape of the neck downward, and on the ex- posed flesh were four great claw marks, showing red and angry through the cloth torn to rib- bons. It appeared that his train was late, so that it was quite dark when he arrived at Tsavo station, from which the track to my camp lay through a small cutting. He was accompanied by Abdullah, his sergeant. of native troops, who walked close behind him carrying a lantern. They were about half-way through the cutting when a huge lion suddenly sprang down upon them from the high bank, knocking Whitehead over like a nine- >VuVAwnN 9 ‘\ eoveccredecocesorerasenes eeermrereeer’”~ { —UGAINDA f oe PETES TORAT TS GERMAN EAST BRITISH EAST AFRICA eee AFRicys ag. - — a. hee a te, - Ez bes % aes pin, tearing his back as I have described. For- tunately, he had his carbine with him and in- stantly fired. ‘The flash and the loud report, must have dazed the lion for a second or two, en- abling Whitehead to disengage himself. But the next instant the brute pounced like lightning on the unfortunate Abdullaff and made off with him. All the poor fellow had time to say was: “Eh, bwana, simba!” (“Oh, master, a lion!’’) It was, of course, this unfortunate man whom I heard the lions devouring duririg the night. Whitehead himself had a marvelous escape. II—“LION FIGHTING WITH STATION—SEND URGENT SUCCOR!” MAN-EATING lion had taken up his quar- ters at a little roadside station called Kimaa, and had developed taste for the members of the railway staff. He was a most daring brute, quite indifferent as to whether he carried off the station master, the sig- nalman or the switch tender. One night, in his efforts to obtain a repast of human flesh, he actually climbea up on the roof of the station building and tried to tea. off, the corrugated iron sheets. At this the terrified 1lu- dian baboo in charge of the telegraph instrument below sent the following laconic message to the traffic manager: “Lion fighting with station. cor.’ Send urgent suc- Fortunately, the animal was not victorious in’ his “fight;” but he was game ‘enough to keep on trying to get in until he had cut his feet bad- ly on the iron sheeting, leaving large bloodstains on the roof. III—THE REIGN OF TERROR IN THE JUNGLE CAM | ET me now return briefly to the regular order of events in my ruction camp at Tsavo, leading up to the reign of terror in De- cember, 1898, when the railway works were brought to a complete standstill. It was shortly after my arrival, when I lost one of my foreman—a fine, powerful Sikh named Ungan Singh, whose head and scattered bones, found near the camp, made the most grewsome sight I had ever seen—that I began my systematic campaign of all-night watches in trees, in the de- termination to rid the neighborhood of lions, Hunting them by daylight in that thorny wilder- ness would have been sheer folly. For a long time, indeed, it seemed that the mocturnal pur- suit was to be scarcely more effectual. Night after night, with my .303 rifle and a 12- bore shotgun, one barrel loaded with ball and the other with slug, I lay in wait, as my hopes of bagging one of the brutes were raised by the sound of their ominous roaring coming closer and closer. In the whole of my life I have never experienced anything more nerve shaking than to hear the deep roars of these dreadful monsters as they closed in on us through the midnight st- lence of the African jungle, and to know that somie one or other of us was doomed to be their victim before daybreak. Then the roaring would cease and quiet would reign for an hour or two—as lions always stalk their prey in complete.silence. All at once, how- ever, we would hear an uproar and frenzied cries ITALIAN PsoMALILAND

an extraordinary . com'ng from another camp, perhaps half a wile away; and we knew that the lions had ted @& man there, and that we should see or hear nothing more of them that night. one for some considerable time after the t Brock and I sat in wait fon them in the goods wagon. It then occurred to me that- should they renew their attacks, a trap would offer the best chanee.of getting at thee. and that if I could construct one in which a couple of coolies might be used as bait; without danger, the lidns would be quite daring to enter it. I accordingly set to work at once, and in time managed to make a sufficiently strong 1 out of wooden sleepers, train rails, pieces of graph wire, and a length of heavy chain. It divided into two compartments, one for the and one=for the lion. A sliding door at end admitted the former. Once inside pret partment, the men were comparatively between them and the lion, if he entered the compartment, ran a cross wall of iron rails three inches apart, and imbedded both top and bottom in heavy wooden sl When the trap was ready I pitched a tent over it in order to further deceive the lions, and built a boma, or palisade fence, around it. Our preparations were quite complete by fall and we all took up our appointed Nothing happened until about 9 o’clock, when, to. my great satisfaction, the intense stillness was suddenly broken by the noise of the trap hidter ing down. HE lions, left us std EB : Eh The bait sepoys had a lamp burning inside their part of the cage, and were each armed with ‘lin rifle. They had strict orders to fire a once if a lion should enter the trap. Instead of doing — so, however, they were so rattled when the lion rushed in/and began to lash himself madly against the bars of the cage, that they lost several min- utes before getting into action. When they did begin, they fired wildly, in any old direction. How they failed to. kill him several times over is a complete mystery to me, as they could have on the muzzle of their rifles absolutely s body. V—THE PAIR OF MAN-BATERS KILLED AT THE night of Dec. 10, I had the satisfac- N O tion of killing my first lion—but not until after I had lust one chance at him by an untried — rifle missing fire, and he had come unpleasantly | near to getting me. I spent the night perched on a flimsy staging of poles and planks—there being no convenient tree at that chosen spot—about twelve feet above the ground. For two hours the lion crept stealthily © round and round this crazy structure, stalking me. I began hes feel distinetly “creepy.” Though abs aly with I kept as stilla to make out the whitish ui any nearer t trigger. | My shot was at once followed by a most terrific. roar. I was no longer able to see ane. lion, I kept blazing awdy in the direction in which I heard him plunging about, At length came a series of mighty. gradually subsiding deep sighs, and finally ceasing altogether. I had traced the blood only a few paces on rounding. a bush, I was startled to see mense lion right in front of me, neomiunte and crouching for a spring, Looking closer, I sat isfied myself that he was really and dead; whereupon my followers crow round, laughed and danced and shouted like children, and bore me in triumph, lemon was: round the
