ANOTHER BANK CLERK ACCUSED A BIG THE -

| Third National Charges Geo. J. Smith Jr. Took $1200.

DEPOSITS IN CLEVELAND

President Huttig Says $950 of Money Was Located in Time.

George _, Smith Jr., 20 years old, of 3403 Eads avenue, a clerk ia the Third National Bank, is accused by Cherles H. Huttig, president of the. bank, stealing $1200 from the institution, un- der circumstances remarkably like those of the Gray defalcation, discovered a few days ago in the National Bank of Commerce, Smith has been discharged, but no step toward criminal prosecution has bee ntaken. Mr. Hutting said ‘Friday afternoon to a Post-Dispatch reporter that the bank would suffer no loss through the pecu- lations, which took the form of thefts from unregistered letters. Smith was a mail clerk in the Third National, as W. A, Gray was ip _the National Bank of Commerce. He Wares with hav- ing deposited, under an assumed name, in a Cleveland bank, the money stolen by him here. Mr. Huttig’s Statement, Mr. Huttig’s full statement regarding the case is as follows: “Some time ago it was found by the bank officials that petty thefts were being committed by the extraction of cash and coupons from remittance let- ters \which were not registered. It ts an unusual way to remit money, ths customary treatment being to ship by express or registered mail, but occa- sionally a bank will send mutilated cur- rency and samll amounts in their regu- lar remittance letters containing drafts, checks, etc. “Immediate ‘Steps ‘were taken to dis- the gullty person through the aid of the Postoffice inspectors and private detectives, with the result that George J, Smith Jr., whe has been an employe of the bank for the past year and a halt was found to be guilty. “It appears his first offense was com- mitted in December, and that the aggre- gate of the extractions from letters in cash and coupons amounted to about $1200, of which over $950 is recoverable. It seems that Smith deposited part of his stealings with the Cleveland Trust Co, of Cleveland, O., under the assumed name of J. A. Sherman, and over $750 of this money is to the credit of Sher- man in that trust company at this time, payment having been stopped thereon. “The boy .came well recommended to us, and was placed under a $6000 bond. The bonding company has been notified and will take charge of the case. While there is an apparent shortage of $250, the bank suffers no loss on account of Smith's bond.”’ Efforts by Post-Dispatch reporters to find Smith were unavailing.

Rich Man Needed for the Post, The Austrian post pays the incumbent $17,500 a year. But to maintain the station in what is deemed fitting dig- nity the Ambassador must spend several times that amount. Therefore, the place must be filled by a rich man. Col Ker- ens is many times a millionairé. The Court of Francis Jogeph is the foremost Catholic court of the world, and it is appropriate that the United States Min. ister should be a follower of the Church of Rome, Col. Kerens is a re Catholic. Not many months ago he figured con- spicuously in the news as the author of a plan to, purchase from the Italian Government a strip of land from the Vatican grounds to seashore at Civita Vecchia, thus giving the Pope, who is Known figuratively as “the prisoner of the Vatican,” to journey’ abroad without setting foot

Col. Kerens rose mightily tn the esteem of the Vatican as a most loyal and ar- dent churchman, inspired with the de- sire to do reat things for the church. So it is fitting, his friends say, that he Le sent as Ambassador to the lead-- ing Catholic court of the world. Senator Elkins’ Daughter. And now, back to his friend “Steve’”’ once more. Senator Elkins has‘a: daug)- ter, Miss Katherine, a dashing beauty, very popular in society, and quité’ re- cently the affianced of the gallant and gifted young Duke of the Abruzzi, a member of the Italian royal house ef Savoy, a cousin to King Victor Em- manuel, Italian ruler. For menths this affair of the heart was watched with palpitating interest in both hemispheres, both by persons in lowly walks of life and by crowned heads. It was the theme of innumera- ble cablegrams. it was the topic of earnest discussion at many conferences of ‘the House of Savoy. There are stern and rigid rules to bind the members of that ancient house, rules that must not bend merely to gratify the love of a young and ardent Prince, ho matter how deeply he may love. And Katherine Elkins, royal in ‘her beauty, but high spirited and genuine- ly American in her heart, had no’mind to subject herself to humiliation by reason of these rules, which would have made life hard and bitter, probably, for an outsider, a girl commoner born, to have tried to enter the august precincts of the House of Savoy as a sister-in- law Princess. Old “Steve” Elkins said he didn’t care & great deal for Dukes, and persons of that kind, but admitted that he liked young Abruzzi for himself. And truly, the young Prince is a likable chap. He is a distinguished mariner and scientist, too, and aside from the accident of birth which gave him a high place among men, has won by his own merit and hard work, a place quite as lofty. But the stark, unyielding rules of the House of Savoy rose like a wall be-" tween the two young hearts, and the en- gagement was “declared off."’ Sorrow- fully the. young Duke went back to his science and his duties as an officer of the Italian navy. Sorrowfully Kather- ine Elkins laid aside her dreams, and returned to her round of social duties. And all the world sighed in sympathy with these two disappointed sweet- hearts. But now a rift appears in the leaden clouds that sadden the lovers. Col. Kerens, friend of Miss Elkins’ father, is to go to Vienna, the great Catholic Court—the capital close to Rome in its affiliations. Katherine Elkins will be a belle of the embassy, and—most proba- bly—the Duke de Abruzzi will find mat- ters for scientific research in Vienna.

Say Mann Signed Name of “J. H. Raymond” on Rooming House Register.

CHICAGO, March 12.—Testimony tend- ing to show that ‘Maud Shanks, former wife of Luman C.' Mann, on trial for: the murder of Mrs. Frances Gilmore Thompson, was bribed to leave the State of Illinois and take up her resi- dence in New York by friends of the defendant was given at the morning session of court today by Mrs. Shanks and Mrs. Myrtle Smith, only to be stricken out as irrelevant, it having developed that the alleged bribery had not been committed by the defendant. | Mrs. Thompson was strangled in a rooming house July 1. The prosecution seeks to prove that Mann, son of a wealthy family, is the “J. H. Raymond” in the house with Mrs. Thompson. Maud Shanks was the first witness called and started a sensation imme- diately by replying in answer to As- sistant State’s Attorney Day’s ques- tions, that money had been given her to leave Chicago by Mrs. Myrtle Smith and Bert Cowdrey, a former Central Sta- tion detective. The latter, she, declared, she had met for the first time in the offices of Attorney Charles E. Erb- stein. : ; Maude Shanks’ appearance was a dis- tinct surprise for the defense. Mann lunged half way across the table in front of him with a half audible ‘“‘Hello, Maude,” “T was with my sister at Riverview Park about 7:30 o’clock on the evening of June 27, when we met my former husband, the defendant in this case,’’ said the witness. “He told me that a woman was in love with him. He said that she had a lot of diamonds and money and had offered him $500 to marry her, but that was not enough. He told us that he was going to get her diamonds if he had to choke her to do it.’ WAKE OF THE PRIMROSE CLUB RESULTS IN EIGHT ARRESTS Policemen Wait Nearly 12 Hours for Revelers to Leave Premises. After remaining for nearly 12 hours outside the Primrose Club, 2021 Franklin avenue, policemen at 9:30 a. m, Friday arrested two women and six men, and preferred Police Court charges against them. The Primrose Club closed Friday. The eight prisoners, who spent the night in revelry at the clubhouse said their merriment was meant as a “wake” for the dying organization. Songs, shouts and the tinkling of glasses were heard through the locked doors of the clubhouse when Sergt, Callahan and four patrolmen stopped there at 10 p. m. Thursday. The Sergeant rapped on the door, and it was opened an inch, then slammed in his face. “Never mind,” said Callahan. “The booze ih there can’t last always.” And he and his men settled them- selves outside the door, At 4 a. m. the lights went out and the noise ceased. Five and one-half hours later the men and women ap- peared. All seemed to have sévere headaches. The prisoners said their names and addresses were: May Scott, 1124 North Eighteenth; Rose O'Neill, 1826 Wash; Tom Burke, 8632 Garfield; William Smith, 1006 North Twenti- eth; Frank Kampmeyer, 2021% Carr; Edward Monyhan, 1411 Wash; J.

Studious, sedentary habits are apt to cause indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous: headaches, ete., but often it’s the daily’ use of coffee that is at-the bottom of the whole tramble, and it is surprising how quickly these troubles disappear when coffee is dropped and well-made Postum is the daily beverage. A No. Dak, minister writes of the re- lief obtained when he changed from cof- fee to Postum. He says: “T began using Postum about a year ago while stopping at the home of friends during the absence of my wife. “It seemed almost providential, for during that time I got rid of coffee and its attendant ills. used to have bili- ous attacks about every two weeks that completely used me up for a day or two at a time. “T did not suspect coffee and was un- able to account for these attacks, Since I began Postum I have had but one slight attack, and the change to’ re- stored health is most acceptable. “My wife declared on her return that

He alleged that he was to receive $15 a week royalty, and that his songs were played and sung for 17 weeks, -and not paid for., He attached the effects of the ‘Me, Him and I’’ Company while it was playing here.

Then lean- ing forward he asked: “Can you play the Arkansaw Trav- eler?’’ *“O yes,” replied Hoffman. “Well, don’t,”” said the Judge. “I will allow your claim in full.

’ Special to the Post-Dispatch. TACOMA, Wash., March 12.—When Joshua Klein, hypnotist, who has Amer- ican girls as his prisoners in a chalet in Switzerland, was called to trial here today, Federal agents were in attend- ance to determine whether he could be deported. Klein’s family is now living in St. Louis. Klein is on trial on the ice of as- sault to do bodily harm to Mrs. Nellie C. Sauvageot, whose daughter, Dora, is one of his prisoners in Switzerland. To aid him in his defense, a mysterious check for $500 came to his attorney to- day with an anonymous card inclosed marked ‘For Klein, Cause.” Mrs. Sauvageot, testifying regarding Klein’s attack on her during a quarrel over money, said: “I believe him a devil incarnate.”’ Mrs. Sauvageot told how she sent mysterious cablegrams to Klein’s chalet in efforts to get her daughter Dora to leave Klein. She used Klein's name in these messages and also used the mys- terious word, “Cause,’”’: which was writ- ten on the card accompanying a check sent to Klein's attorney here. Mother Used “Cause.” A cablegram to her daughter she said she signed, “Mother Joshua.” Another to Klein’s lieutenant, Max Iinopper, in charge of the Swiss chalet, she wrote in German, saying, “Send both for Cause. (Signed) I.”’ Mrs. Sauvageot, despite efforts of Judge Easterlay and attorneys. for both State and defense, {nsisted on telling of her interview with Klein while at the Swiss chalet, where she went in an ef- for to get her daughter to return home. “Klein came to my room,’’ declared Mrs. Sauvageot, excitedly, “with a pa- per for me to sign and I told him I would not sign it. If you want.to know what I told, I'll tell you. I said, ‘I’d see him in hell first.’ Klein, I tell you, had my money and [ wouldn't sign until he returned it. "Why, he came to New York, with mz daughter and myself, on money he got ‘from. her.” Paid for Klein’s Clothes. She referred to a trip Klein made’ to America, when she was bringing her daughter back from Europe and when Klein, in New York, persuaded Dore Sauvageot to return to the chalet. “Why, he botght a ticket for Dora back to Europe on money he had gotten from her and which I. gave her. He has lived on my money,” said M-:. Sauvageot. Rising, Mrs. Seuvazect walked ecre- matically at Klein and exc'ain:ed. “Why, that suit of clothes he is we="- ‘ing he bought with my money.” ’ | OPPOSE “PHYSICIANS” MEASURE

NEW AEROPLANE FLIES 20 “MILES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Silver Dart: Surprises “Experts in Tests at Baddeck, Nova Scotia. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 12. —By a tele- gram received vesterday, the Aero Club of America was informed by J. A. D. McCurdy that on Wednesday he had made a flight of more than twenty miles across country at Baddeck, N. 8., in the aer@plane “Silver Dart.’’ This is the machine which was built by the Aerial Experiment Association at Hammondsport, N. Y., of which Dr. Alexander Graham Bell is’the head. During the last week it made several record flights, varying from. eight to fourteen miles. ¢ Wednesday's’ flight was one of the most: remarkable exhibitions of flying in a straight line ever made, and*it, probably surpasses any other cross- country flight yet. achieved. The Wrights have flown approximate- ly 100 miles’ in circles, but it is consid- ered that a flight over an elongated course is a far better demonstration of’ the practicability of mechanical flights than circling over a certain prescribed area,

when gross the Muir anda Hardesty ‘Bills, pro- viding for a tax on the capital stock of - corpgrations. The bills were reported unfavorably from committee, and the authors ggught to have them sent to engrossment. In. the Senate the corporation tax measures are slumbering in committee. From this source alone Gov. Hadley ex- pected to raise $300,000 or $400,000. a year. St. Louis corporations would have been hit hardest. In opposition to the measures, mem- bers of the Ways and Means Commit- ites. pointed to editorial expressions in the Post-Dispatch and other papers showing the injustice of adding more taxes to corporations when the rate of assessment on other classes of property, including farm lands, is far below nor- mal valuations.

Flatulency or Wind on Stomach As It Is Commonly Named, Means That Decaying Food Is Making Gas. This most serious condition is very revajent and results most distressing- ly and fatally oftentimes. The stom-

R ah in cases of flatulency is unable to digest the food properly. Decay sets in, gases form, extend the stomach, force. their way downward into the bowels, and if not relieved it extends upward, pressing against the lungs, liver and heart, cousifig shortness of breath, belching, foul odors and many times sudden death. : Foods which are filled with gases, when taken into a deranged stomach cause flatulency rapidly, vegetabies being especially given to this quality. Against such.a condition the stomach can do but little, because these foul awed isonous gases affect its glands, es and tissues to such a degree as ite incapacitate it almost at once. These gases distend the stomach in all directions, preventing the contract- ing muscles from doing their regular duties, or if they do force the gas from thé stomach it goes elsewhere in the system with even more harass- ing results, and then the decaying — still remains to generate more The most effeetive methods for al- laying flatulency is to remove, the cause of gas making, An emetic? will do*this, but the stomach will have the same trouble the monient new food enters it. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets get at gas food at once, digest it, prevent decay, quickly reduce food to noar- ishment, make rich gastric fluid and pass the digested food to the in- testines, giving the stomach its rest and the system its nourishment. Flat- ulency simply cannot exist where these little tablets are used. They build up the stomach fluids so that it matters not how many vegetables yot eat or food containing quantities of gas, the stomach does its work well and quickly. Stuart's psia Tablets are sold everywhere ge be go sed the whole world over by sick stomachs and stomachs that te Aha eat heartily and yet peicert's Sie

IN KEEP-HALF OF GIFTS Saloons Visited by Women Who Assist Gold-Braided “General,” -

The: officers of the ‘‘American Chris- tian Volunteers,” 1348 North Garrison avenue, were denounced by Judge Pol- lard in the Dayton Street Police Court because they permitted Pearl Ward, a girl of 16, to go to all sorts of places in the dawntown district and solicit money for the. support of the home and Ats officers. ‘Miss Ward is an attractive girl. She spends the day going around to offices and business places soliciting money for the support of ‘“‘Charity Rest,’’ as the home of the “Volunteers” is called. “Do you like the work?” she. was asked by a reporter for the Post-Dis- patch, She shrugged her shoulders. and laughed, “Oh, it’s better than ee ¥s she answered. ‘How much do you make?” - Gets,Half and Board, “Some deys’I collect 25 cents, and some days $2 or $3, and I get half. Be- sides, I get my board and.room free at the home, so it’s not such poor pay.”’ “Do «you ever go into saloons to beg money?” “Oh, I go everywhere, wherever there is a dollar or a quarter in sight,”’ she answered. “Are you ever insulted?’’ Again she- shrugged her shoulders and laughed. ‘‘Sometimes I am. But. not often. Some of the men get fresh.” ‘“‘Have you been at school muchY®’ “No, I never had much chance to go to school. My father died in Fairview, Ijl., 13 years ago, and my mother had the Sunshine Mission there, and I had to collect money. Mother and I came to this mission a few weeks ago and i find it harder to collect here. The men are not so respectful.”’ “Wouldn't you rather be at work somewhere, in a respectable place where you would not have to beg?’ she was 4 asked. ‘Well, I don’t know; this is not so bad. I take it eazy. I only’ have to col- lect when I feel like it. Now, this aft- @rnoon I went out for only two hours and picked up 45 cents and I get half are." “Saloon Solicitor” Talks. Miss Etta Decker is ‘saloon solicitor’ of these ‘‘Volunteers.”’ She makes nightly rounds of the saloons in the down-town district dressed in gray uni- form, a poke bonnet and gray shoulder straps. She said Friday: “I collect all the way from $2 to $ on a Saturday night and nét so much on other nights. I keep half of it as my cummission and give the other half to the officers.’”’ In addition to collecting money “Lieut.”” J. P. Moore drives a wagon around to the hotels, boarding houses end grocery stores and solicits food. Some days he brings in a wagon load. Other solicitors beg clothing. “Charity. Rest” has nine rooms. In addition to all the workers there are several old men and women and two children who live there on the bounty of the “Volunteers.” A printed report of the organization, which is incor- porated under the laws of Missouri, shows that in the six months ending Fob. 28 it gave out, entirely without charge, 1123 baskets of food, 2086 gar- ments, 22,608 ‘meals, 4914 nights lodging and 309 suits of clothing to men. The old men and women inmates of this “Charity Rest’’ speak highly of the kind treatment they get there. General “Wears Gold Braid.” E. H. Watkins, who styles himself “General, .Commander-in-Chief,” is the head of the.organization. He is an old man, whd wears-a blue uniform like those worn by policemen, a-gray felt Grand Army hat with gold braid and tassels around: the band, and shoulder straps with six gold stars. The nickel- plated buttons of “Gen.” Watkins’ uni- form are always highly polished. Mrs. Hester Stephenson is “Briga- dier,”” Mrs. Annie White is “Captain,” J. P. Moore is ‘“‘Lieutenant” and Thom- as Hamilton is “Lieutenant-Colonel” of this organization. Besides these: officers, who do noth- ing but manage the home, theré are from ten to twenty solicitors, men and women, who make a living for them- selves and their superior officers by 80- liciting money and ‘keeping half of it as commission. ° Working for “Human Sparrows.” “Brigadier” Stephenson said of the work: “We keep a careful record of every cent that comes in and goes out. Our books are open to the examination of all, and so is the home. We make no money out of this. We are working for God and his hu- man sparrows who fall by the wayside in this great city. We have had as many as 4 men out of work sleeping here in one night.” The organization has a hall at 226 Easton avenue, where religious meetings are held each night and twice on Sun- day.

' who is fathering the bill in the Senate, - Fations must do in obedience to the or- _ yet have @ chance, for the bili devotes road, telephone, gas and electrical cor- porations and the issuance of new stock and consolidations are regulated. One of the most important features of the bill is the abolition of the State Board of Railroad and Warehouse Com- missioners. Senator McDavid of Greene County, said today that the reasons for repeal- ing these other laws is to do away with divided responsibility and possible con- flict which might grow out of having two or more bodies with the same au- thority. . The proposed commission is to be com- posed of five members, at a salary of $3500 a year each, only three of whom shall belong to any one political party. ‘The power of appointment is vested in the Governor. The features that forbid the issuing of new stock without the consent of the Siate are borrowed from the law of Massachusetts. : Power to Fix Fares and Rates. One of the sections which ‘confers the greatest power on the Commission says: ; Whenever the Commission shall be of opinion after a hearing and upon its own motion, or upon complaint made as provided in thig act that the rates, fares or charges demand- ed, exacted, charged er collected by any cOmmon carrier, railroad corpo- ration or street railread corpo- ration, gas or electrical company, express or sleeping car company, subject to its jurisdiction for the transportation of freight or proper- ty within the State, or tnat the rez- ulations or practices of such com- mon carrier, railroad corporation or other public service company af- fecting such rates are unjust, un- reasonable, unjustly discriminatory or unduly preferential, or in any- wise in violation of any provision of law, the Commission shall de- termine the just «nd reasonable rates, fares and charges to be there- after observed and in force as the maximum to be charged for. the Service to be performed and shall fix the saine by order to be served upou all common carriers, railroad and other curporations by whom @uch fares and charges are there- after to be observed. And whenever the commission shall be of opinion, after a hearing had upen it® own motion or upon com- plaint that the regulations, prac- tices, equipment, appliances or serv- ‘lee of .any such common carrier, railroad corporation or street rail- read corporation in respect to trans- portation,of persons, freight er prop- - erty within the State are unjuast,. unreasonable, unsafe, improper or inadequate, the commission shall de- termine the just, reasonabie, safe, adequate and proper regulations, practices, equipment, appliances and services thereafter to be ia force, to be ohserved and to be used in such transportation of persons, freight unc) property and go fix and pre- sersbe the, same by order to be served upon every common carrier, railread corporation and street rail- road corporation to be bound there- by, and thereafter it shall be the duty of every commion carrier, rail- | road corporation and street railroad corporation to observe. and obey each and every requirement of ev- ery such order so served upon it, and to do everything necessary or proper in order to secure absolute compliande with and observance of every such order by all its officers, agepts and employes. Hope for Strap Hangers, Another section goes even more into details in telling the things the corpo- ders fixing rates and service. The straphangers on the street railways may considerable space to conferring author- ity to direct the number of cars that may be run on the lines of street rai)-

missio obey the order. Every person or corporation failing to obey the order of the com- n shall be subject to a penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $5000 for each day that such person or corporation shall fail to i. remain only such cases as offer a prob- ability of success on the part of the Government. The Standard Oil case, settled by the order of Judge Anderson to the jury for

trains or cars, or to change the time schedule for the run of any train or car, or make any other suitable or- der that the commission may deter- mine reasonably necessary to accom- modate and transport the traffic, passengers or freight, transported or offered for transportation. Will Supervise Accounting Methods. pel all the corporations it is to control to adopt and use a uniform system of accounts. : No franchise or right under any fran- chise to own or operate a railread or street railroad can be assigned without the consent and approval of the com- mission. No railroad or street railroad shall be permitted to own any stock of any other railroad or street railroad with- out having first obtained the written approval of the commission. This is not made to apply to stocks alresdy acquired. No railroad or street railroad now organized or hereafter to be incorporated within this State may issue any stocks, bonds, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness running for more than 12 months without having first submitted the matter with the reasons for issuing such stocks or bonds to the commission for its approval. In the capitalization of a railroad or street railroad company, the commis- sion itself has no power to permit the coporation to capitalize its franchise except for some amount actually paid to the State or the municipality in re- turn for the franchise. No consolida- tion of companies can be permitted to issue ‘stock in excess of the sum of the capital stock of the corporations so coysolidated unless such sum is actual- ly paid in cash. A separate section gives the commis- sion powers to regulate gas, electric light, telephone, telegraph and water works companies and other public utili- ties. Referring to the owners of these utilities, the bill says: Every such person or. corporation is qaawee sue... eee eae FOR THE PUBLIC New Formula Cures Coughs, Colds, + Seta and Hoarsenesr in Five ours. Much is being done in these days to stop the ravages of consumption, but probably nothing has been so effective as teaching the public how to break up a cohl and cure conghs, bronchitis, tonsilitis, ete.,: with simple home-mixed medicine free from opium, isons, etc. A laxative cough syrup, ree from whiskey and poisons is the prime need.

T. r. Mr. Gluckman says: or two years I was conductor on hp Brooklyn Elevated, but suffered so severely from stomach trouble that fi- nally I was compelled to quit work. On several occasions I fainted as a result ofithe terrible pain in my stomach. My head ached almost constantly, and the on my stomach after eating nearly Pave e me wild. “1 took all kinds of medicine in an ef- ‘fort to get relief, butt did me no more iod than so much water. s di- 4 “y trouble in all sorts of ways, ad twice I submitted to a surgical op- eration.

My attention had_ been. called to this man Cooper, and I had both read and heard of his success in relieving stomach sufferers, so in sheer desperation I went to his head uarters and procured a treatment of Cooper’s New Discovery. “The promptness with which it cor- rected my trouble was a revelation. Almost immediately I began to gain strength and feel better. In two months’ time I was practically well. The gas and headaches have long since disap- peared, and I can eat anything without any bad effects whatever. “After passing. through such a pain- am glad of an oppor- tunity to publicly express my appre- ciation, and let other sufferers inew the manner in which I obtained relief.

SUSPECT IS RELEASED Young — Politician Arrested Thursday Makes Convinc- ing Alibi. A tall man, with light hair, under a shaggy black wig, is believed to be the murderer of Mrs. Mary Rodefeld, whe was robbed and strangled in her home at 2114 North Thirteenth street. This picion of children at play in the neigh- borhood, is sought by the police. Fourteen-year-old Elsie Kralemann of 1310. Madison street, one of the children who saw the man, said he seemed to have on a false mustache as well as a wig. She says one of the boys in the crowd asked him for the end of a ciga- rette he was smoking. The man turned his face away and retreated into an alley. This man was seen by the children about 7:45 p. m. Wednesday, they say. Mrs. Rodefeld was heard. screaming about 8 p. m., and is supposed to have been murdered then. Mrs, Rodefeld’s Eccentricities, Mrs. Rodefeld was a woman of un- usual eccentricities. Although she had been a widow for 22 years, she pre- served the clothes her husband had made for himself and had worn. She kept them in a wardrobe in her bed- room, but once a month she took them out, brushed them carefully and hung them out on a line in the yard for an airing. She grew offended when ary of the neighbors referred to them. She was extremely miserly and lived on next to nothing. She ate meat only once a week, when she bought 5 cents’ worth of soup meat, which she boiled up with a few potatoes, which she gen- erally begged from her tenants and neighbors. She made a practice of get- ting up at 3 o’clock in the morning to go to a neighboring bakery, the ft#me when the wagons came in with the stale, unsold bread gathered by the drivers from the boxes in front of the grocery ‘stores, and would carry home three loaves, which she could buy for 5 cents, and this, with coffee, was her chief -mé@ans of subsistence. : Her neighbors say that a pound of cheap coffee mould: last her a month. After she hadsmade a decoction she would dry the coffee grains and -use them over and over repeatedly until there was nothing left in them to stain the water in which they were boiled. Nails and Pins Hoarded. The passion for saving had such a strong hold on her that she hoarded the most trivial things as if they were precious. istrator Bohn was searching the house for possible hoardings other valuables,.*he found 'the oddest collection of his experilenée. In one package, wrapped around with innumerable scraps of cloth, each layér carefully ‘tied with thread, was an old file. Nearly a hundred small boxes were found, carefully tied up. Some of these contained rusty pins and old bone buttons. Other boxes had nails; rusty with age, wrapped up in: pieces of cloth. A bundle that promised something of value was made up of alternate layers of nearly twenty pieces of cloth. In the center was a pair of child’s white kid gloves, which had been cleaned and turned inside out. Small wooden spools from which the thread was gone were wrapped around with small scraps of cotton cloth and tied with thread. Photographs of men and women dressed in garments of two decades ago were carefully tied up in paper and hidden away in boxes. Bone buttons were each wrapped separately in pleces of cloth and laid away as if they were uncut diamonds. The only money, found was a” 25-cent silver coin. How She Kept Her Money. Mrs. Rodefeld had a unique way of keeping her money, according to the testimony of her tenants who were about the only ones who ever saw her make a display of her wealth, although her parsimonious habits. and her habit of hoarding had given her the reputation of having a great deal of money in the house. When her tenants went to pay their rent and had not the exact amount it angered the old woman who then had to make change. She would lift one of her three skirts and take out of a bag In which were pinned rolls of: bills. All her bilis were divided into parcels of different denominations. Each bill was divided from the other with a piece of paper cut the same.size. All the one dollar bills were in one roll with a slip of paper between each. The fives and tens were treated in the same manner. In this way each bil] was kept flat. When the body was discovered Thurs- day morning several of the pieces of paper which had been between Dills were found on the floor of the squalid room in which she met her death.

COALE WINS TROPHY| Drew Largest Attendance to Daily Meetings—Gov. Hadley Absent. William F. Woerner and Frederick H. Kreismann, candidates for Mayor of St. Louis, were guests of honor at the Real Estate Exchange banquet at the Svlumbian Club Thursday night. Each pledged himself to work for the com- pletion of the Free Bridge in the event of his election. Robert Rutledge, president of the Pxchange, acted as toastmaster. Gov. Hadley sent his regrets, stating that urgent business required, his presence in the capital. His place on the pro- gram was taken by the Rev. W. C. Bitting, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Dr. Bitting laughingly said that if his claims to mansions in the sky would be recognized by the real estate men, he would like to be enrolled as a mem- ber of the exchange. This was followed by serious advice urging upon his hear- ers high standards of business morality. President Rutledge spoke along the same lines, urging the agents to weed: out the undesirables and tricksters who bring discredit upon the business. Few Agents “Go Wrong.” “Not a licensed agent in St. Louis has ‘gone wrong’ for many years,” he said. ‘“‘Yet when some fly-by-night realty dealer is found to be an em- bezzler or a thief, there are many who say, ‘There’s another real estate man gone wrong.’ Men of that class do not belong to the exchange and they never will.” A diamond pin was presented te John A. Watkins, who originated the daily board méétings of the exchange. Mr. Watkins, in turn, awarded the prizes to the three agents who drew the largest attendance to daily meetings. The first prize, a silver loving cup, went to Ralph Coale. C. C. Nicholls Jr. won the second prize, a stein set, and .a léving cup as third prize was given to.James* Barngrover.

A jury in Judge Kinsey’s Court Fri- day, awarded $2000 damages to John Berry, airship builder, who was shot by R. B. Haughton, former Justice of the Peace, July 8, 1907. Berry sued Haughton for $10,000 damages. Of the amount awarded by the jury half was for actual &nd half for punitive dam- ages. Attorney Thomas T. Fauntleroy urged in defense of Haughton that he had been insulted by Berry, and.that the fact that Haughton came from a sectien: of the country where an affront is quickly avenged, should be taken into account by the jury as a sort of “un- written law.” It was alleged that Ber- ry called Haughton an offensive epithet over the telephone. Berry alleged that Haughton lured him to a secluded place for the pur- post of shooting him. Haughton testtl- fied that his original intention was to horsewhip Berry. “When Berry clutched the whip and assumed a threat- ening attitude, I shot toward the ground to scare him,” he said. One of the bullets entered Berry's leg. aE IEEE EEE ene RL Grateful For Eczema Cure Any Sufferer Can Write Robt. Suss- man .of Toledo, Ohio, for full information. There are undoubtedly many frauds in the testimonials of medical firms— letters written by friends or even em- ployes of the advertiser. But on the other hand, in some cases the testimo- nials are thoroughly genuine, gladly of- fered by prominent citizens, who are grateful for the cure. Such ‘a case is that of Robt, Suss- man, a well-known furrier of Toledo, Ohio, who for years suffered with a severe case of eczema. He described his case as almost un- endurable. About five years he was induced to try the oil of. winter- n compound known ag D. “D. D. Brese scription for eczema sufferers. .

SECRET HERING V UNNERSITY 5) COMMIT Members of the Board of Cura- - tors Protest. Against Star- Chamber Method. *

By a Staff Cone of the Post- spatch, JEFFERSON CITY, March 12.—Da- vid R. Francis, Campbell Wells, Wal- ter Williams and other,members of the Board of Curators and:faculty of the State University at Columbia, are in arms over what they term the “unfair, star-chamber proceedings” of the House of Representatives Committee, appoint- ed to investigate the financial and other affairs®of the university. The ‘smelling’? committee headed by Representative George Aureswald of Jefferson County, is looking for extrava- gance on the part of the university au- thorities in spending the State’s money. Too many professors, too many per- quisites and too many fads, are the prin- Cipal matters that call for correction, according to the investigators. Two years ago the Legislature appropriated $1,400,000 for the university, and this time the curators are asking $1,600,000. The House economists think the uni- versity can be liberally maintained on half a million a year. Chairman Aures- wald and his associates, J. W. Hensley of Gasconade County, and J. Weldon Hardesty of Monroe, are holding their Sessions behind closed doors. During the last few days they have grilled A. Ross Hill, president of the university; B. H. Bonfoey, P., T. Burton, Camp- bell Wells, Walter Williams, members of the Board of Curators, and the sec- fetary of that body, Prof. J. G. _— Too Much Money Spen In an interview with the Post-Dts- patch correspondent today, Chairman Aureswald hinted “many things of val- ue”’ to the Legislature had been ascer- tained. “AS we are all pledged to secrecy, I can’t tell just what we have learned,” he said. “I will say this much, however, that the university folks have been spending too much money. We want an itemized statement of expenditures, not general statements, such as are now being sent to us.’’ “How about the School of Journal- ism?’’ Mr. Aureswald was asked. ‘Well, now you nave hit one of their pet extravagances,’’ he said. “It isn’t so much the schoo! as the paper, called the University Missourian, that they are issuing which we object to. That’s where the shoe pinches. They want this paper kept up and the sentiment of the committee appears to be against — ‘ Curator Wells Wants Publicity.

I want the people to/ know that this in- vestigation is doing an injustice to the university authorities. “Were I not required under oath to maintain secrecy I should have no hesi- tation in teiling everything that oc- curred. At that I don’t know whether or not I shall observe the oath. These sage investigators think, for example, that one professor can look after half a dozen classes; They would have ev- ery nickel expended, how and why ex- pended, published in our annual report. That would saddle an additional ex- pense of $8000 a year on the State.’’ When Chairman Aureswald’s atten- tion was called to Curator Wells’ state- ment, he said: “Did Campbell Wells says all that?

March 12.—Rich and poor Catholics already have offered to aid the venerable Cardinal Gibbons in bearing the burden of debt made by Rev. Casper P. Nibert, and which the Cardinal has announced he will assume. It is reported that one wealthy man stands ready to advance the whole amount, $130,000, to be repaid at the Cardinal’s convenience. The Cardinal is

throughout the diocese to aid him. The Cardinal has announced that no one to whom Father Elbert owes money shall lose a cent. Cardinal Gibbons the shock of the Father Elbert. The Cardinal removed Father Elbert from the pastorate of St. Katherine’s Church, this city, @ week ago. The priest, who personally owes $130,000, is in the Spring Grove Asylum at Mount Hope, a suburb. This is the second time, within five years that Cardinal Gibbons, although not liable legally, has gone to the finan- cial aid of those who would have suf- fered from visionary schemes of men who really were “money mad.” f The first time was when the late Thomas F. Waggaman, treasurer of the Catholic University, was adjudged a bankrupt five years ago. Just about then Father Elbert began his opera- tions which have ended so disastreusly. The priest saw. millions in every fool- K poor man and relies on the faithful was prostrated by |f disclosures about ish venture he undertook. One patent fin which he sank a large amount was jin amalgamated nickel and copper. He }had a scheme to make artificial gold.

John Peterson, out of work, paid his last dollar for a cheap_ revolver went to his room at 504 South Broadway, smoked several pipes of tobacco and then lay down on his bed and killed himself. He was 30 years old, a baker, and came from Germany to America eight years ago. Since last May he had lit- tle work at his trade and a month ago he had to leave the lodging house at 633 South Broadway because he could not pay for his room. He then went to the lodging house of Mrs. Anna Fisher, 604 South Broadway, and told her his name was Harsch, under which name he had taken out a card in the Baker’s Union. He told her he had work only two nights in a week and that the little money he had saved was almost gone. When Mrs. Fisher went to the hallway on the second floor Friday morning she saw the door of his room open. He was lying across the bed with the revolver beside him. He kad shot himself in the right temple. In his trunk was a rope five feet long, neatly coiled. Officer Platzer, who ex- amined the room, thought Peterson had intended to hang himself with this rope.

ang LODGING HOUSES DOOMED 10 G0 Merchants Organize to Rid Thoroughfare of Hoboes and Rowdies.

WILL ASK POLICE AID

Ban to Be Placed on Cheap Shows, Shooting-Galleries and Low Saloons.

Market street is to become one of the principal business streets of the city, if the leading business men on the street now, headed by'!Henry McNichols, Sol. Oppenheimer and George W. Jones, do not fail in their plans. At 11:30 a. m. Tuesday, a meeting will be held at the American Theater with Mr. McNichols, head of the Only McNichols furniture house, as chairman, to perfect a permanent organization. ‘IT think it would be well to select some other name than ‘Improvement Association’ for our organization,” said Mr. MeNichols, “for there have been many organizations with that name in St. Louls, and I don’t think they’ve ever done much. But our object will be improvement, none the less.”’ The first task to be undertaken by the’ proposed organization will be rid- }ding the street of hoboes who live at the cheap lodging-houses and lounge about the street, begging money from pedestrians and dJurching drunkenly against them after spending alms for drink. It is desired to have a mounted police patrol for this work. Mr. McNichols, at the first meeting, held Wednesday, said that it was very disagreeabje for a woman of refine- ment to go on Market street, as she was liable to be accosted by these beg- ging creatures. He said that the young women employed in the Cupples block, which is south: of Market street, go several blocks out of their way in or- der to avoid the hoboes. Business Men Sign Petition. Friday afternoon a petition, signed by several of the most prominent business men on Market street was presented to the Police Board. The petition asks that the police rid the street of hoboes. Mr. Oppenheimer, one of the owners of the American Theater, said: “It would be an easy matter for the police to chase every hobo on Market street out of town. If the police don’t do it, then we'll appear to the Governor to find out Why. And we’ll do it our- selves. We employ at least a special watchman for every block, having him given the authority of a special police- man, and I'll guarantee to get men who will run these bums away. “But our idea is to do more than this. It is, eventually, to get rid of the cheap lodging house on Market street, and to rid the street of all othér objectionable institutions. Then to obtain better pav- chants of standing to mové onto the street and make it what it ought to be— one of the best streets in town. Main Artery of Travel, ~~“ “It is the first street the stranger see, It is a main artery of city travel, with both the Union Depot ’and the Courthouse located on it.” George W. Jones of the Evens & How- ard company, which has an office in the 900 block on Market street, said: “What we want to do first is to get rid of the disgusting hoboes on this street and then do everything else we can to make Market street a fine busi- ness thoroughfare.”’ E. E. Koken, head of the Koken Bar- ber Supply Co., said: “I am heartily in sympathy with this movement, and will give it all the aid I can personally. It is these bums and what produces the bums that keeps Market street down now, and nothing else does. “It used to be one of the best streets in town. Then some ex-prize fighters opened saloons on the street and drew a tough, rowdy element. They began to give the street an unsavory reputa- tion, and that induced the Salvation Army to put up a lodging house down here. Other lodging houses followed. Soon Market street was what it is now. Naturally a Good Street. “Rid the street of these things and It would come to the front with a. rush, for naturally it should be one of the best business streets in town, if not as good as Olive and Washington avenue, at least filled with desirable businéss houses which can’t pay the high rents exacted on these streets.” Gibson & March, grocers at 606 Mar- ket street, said they were in full accord with the movement to clean up the street. Their house has been in busi- ness on the street for more than sixty years. Edward Wenneker of the Blanke-Wen- neker Candy Co. said that his company | would lend all the assistance possible to the movement, which meets with its un- qualified approval. F. Bremermann, president of the St. Louls Glass and Queensware Co., Sev- enth and Market streets, said he would regard it as of incalculable benefit if the bulms could be driven off Market street the street freed fre . other objec- tionable features, barrel houses and the jiike. —— New Orleans — via New

Nothing Else He Gave Order, “Air Bedding.” By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 12.—There’s @ near mutiny aboard the Connecticut, flagship of: the round-the-world fleet, which will go to the Brooklyn navy yard today for an-overhauling—not the real article of the good oid days, but as near a mutiny as is ever likely to occur on a twentieth century man-o’- war. None of the enlisted men are “jJump- ing’ the ship—there’s little enough chance to do that nowadays, anyway— but the grumble factory is working overtime. The rank. and file of the sailormen are sore through and through, and the esprit de corps aboard the Con- necticut has utterly disappeared. The man-o’-war's men lay most of their trouble to Admiral Sperry, who was retired a short time ago—‘‘Maneu- vering Charley,” they call him, or, when they are feeling especially bitter, “Air-Bedding Charley.’’ It may be that he suffered by comparison with “Bob” Evans, the idol of the navy. whom he succeeded, but whatever the cause, he was so unpopular at the end of the globe-circling cruise that he re- ceived never a cHeer when he boarded his flagship at Hampton Roads on his return from Washington. . Perfunctory Cheers Given, When he bade good-by to his ship there was a perfunctory cheer—there had been talk of giving him a rousing three groans—but it was nothing com- pared with the farewell to his flag lieutenant. Admiral Sperry was nicknamed ‘Ma- neuvering Charley’ because of the al- most constant turmoil in which’ he kept the flagship during the cruise. The men say he maneuvered this way and that, circling one ship and then anoth- er, until the men were thoroughly tired out from lack of sleep and continuous work, The climax came as the fleet was steaming into the Suez Canal. Some of the men had shore leave and one of

—-__— By MARGUERITE MARTYN. HE REV. DR. PARKHURST ‘ of aR New York, acknowledged expert in fighting evil as it appears in poli- tics, has tur.ed his guns upon woman suffrage. The demana. for the ballot, he declares, robs a woman of her love- ableness; the right to vote menaces her natural déstiny. To quote one or two of his statements as they appeared in a New York daily, he says: “It would be as easy to fall in tm love, with an avalanche or with a blizzard as with a woman's rights woman. And a woman that is not of a kind to fall in love with misses both her opportunity and her destiny. “That quality of feminine blatancy which is béing at present so ex- tensively advertised here and in England, that disposition toward self-exploitation indulged in by short-haired women and encouraged by long-haired men, is of a sort

times at the houses of Mr. Carter and Capt. Cloman, our military attache, with sheets pinned to our shoulders. “Keep your eye on that strip of red carpet, and don’t forget to bow to the Queen,’ were the two strong points in my lesson. ““T am not often flabbergasted, so to speak, but when my train was taken by four men to spread out, the Lord Cham- berlain shouted out: ‘Mrs. Reyburn, from Philadelphia, presented by the Russian Ambassador,’ and some one Gave me a shove and whispered in my ear, ‘Now go,’ my heart did thump a little more than usual. “We must have gone through it with credit, for we met our friend, Mr. Car- ter, at the exit door, and he was radi- ant.’’ é. Mrs, Reyburn created much discussion two.years ago. by declining to attend the grand opera in Philadelphia because the management had failed to provide a box for the Chief Executive of the city and his wife. She insigted, vainly, if is true, that such honors were due them at all theaters and public enter- tainments, [ED Only rich people can afford to use poor ; ~*p. _ Forthis reason: Pov. soap contains an excess of alkali which weakens the fabric and shortens the life of everything it ‘touches, hs Rich people can stand | that sort of thing.

(From a woman’s diary.) “Strangers stare at me; girls and their lovers giggle and point; haughty women raise their eyebrows; men look significantly at each other and often whisper; my friends seem to avoid me, and even my own relatives do not show the respect to which I am entitled. Shame on the publie that would so thoughtlessly cause the suffering and pain exhibited in the heart throbs of this woman’s diary. Because this lady had impurities in her blood, and: being unable to find relief from ugly blotches, piniples, ulcers and the .Jike, she was condemned to great mental agony. For- tunately in this case the woman found that the much talked-of herb and chem- ical known as sulpherb had removed every blemish and restored her natural beauty and a clear, healthy skin, in less than two weeks’ time. , Probably there are thousands, both men and women, who suffer such men - tal agony in addition to bodily ail- ments, all because of septic conditions of the blood. Instead of making nour- ishment and strength, the blood seems to turn out foul matter and repulsive re under the skin. It is use- ess for any of us to deny that a pim- ply. blotched face is not repulsive—for s. :

ISS LILY ERNST, principal of M the Cote Brilliante School; is not actively identified with the suffrage movement, but she took de- cided issue with the preacher’s views from another angle. “A man doesn’t asx whether some- body will fall in love with him when he goes into politics,’’ she said. ‘“He attends to his business and lets loving alone. Political economy and domestic relations are two widely diverged sub- jects. They should be kept separate and Dr. Parkhurst does both subjects an injustice by confusing them,”’ Mrs. G. L. Werth, president of the Equality Club, which entertained Mrs. Borrman-Wells, militant suffragette of England, upon her visit to St. Louis, was found to be a demonstration of the fallacy of the reverend doctor’s sweep- ing statement. Surrounded by four small but very lively grandchildren, all cousins, she said she welcomed such a show of, agitation from an adversary as encouraging to the cause. “T have been married 4 years, and I have never had a: quarrel with my husband,” said Mrs. Werth. “I be- came interested in the suffrage ques- tion 15 years ago, when I teok yp the study of political economy that I might be able to converse with my husband about something other than my social activities, which merely amused him, ahd my housework, which bored him. As I became more informed I found that I should not be either a Democrat or a Republican, but should favor an independent woman’s party if I had the ballot.. But our political differences have made no difference in our regard for each other; rather they increase respect for the quality of independence in each of us. Suffrage Would Raise Standard of Morality. d¢ T is conceivable how unscrupulous | men fear the advent of equal suffrage, for of course the neg- lect of household duties while she is interested in the campaign is the least part of it. Votes for women would raise the standard of morality’ and many of the men would lose their jobs. But politics must be very bad, indeed, if woman becomes so contaminated as to lose her lovableness by contact with it. Dr. Parkhurst’s attitude is one of sympathy and protection, no doubt, but it were better if he devote himself to making politics fit for women that the government might not be a one-sided affair. Mrs. M. E. Beggs, vice-president of the Equality Club, is the energetic and successful proprietor and manager of two West End hotels and other real estate. She has reasons of her own which are obvious for desiring a voice in the government as a taxpayer, but she has considered the domestic side of the question also. “What does Dr. Parkhurst think is the sort of woman to fall in love with?” she asks. “The pretty pink toy who grows into nothing better than a with- ered old helpmate in the end? Then how is it that the womeh of history who have wielded the most power over the hearts of men, as well as_ their destinies, have been women of brains rather than of beauty or domestic virtue? Of course chivalry, a sense of duty, innate nobility will keep a man true to his wife and preserve a sem- blance of domestic happiness, but what woman would not prefer genuine defer- ence to her opinions, regard for the qualities she does possess to chivalry and tender consideration for her weak- nesses and the qualities she has not? “Queenliness has come to mean a matter of personal appearance, where formerly it meant power. I almost -in- * belief of. the suffragist

ed queens of the Moulin Rouge, tried suicide in St. Louis in 1907, will never get the accolade from the queen in ques- tion. For it. looked nice to see scare heads on the main deck of the New York papers telling how the faithless Count De Savigny of Normandy (Missouri, per- haps) had swept from his touring car to the desk of the St. Regis just in time to be served with a summons in a suit against him for 200,000 francs for toying with the young affections Conklyn. Not that Miss Conklyn wanted to see her name in the paper—goodness no. But it did leak out; how it did, goodness only knows. : But unfortunately the: man with the memory away out in St. Louis sent a telegram to New York to see if the Grace Conklyn of the present was the same Grace Conklyn occasionally known also as Hazel Lawrence, who in St. Louis in 1907 tried suicide as an ef- fective way of keeping her name out of the papers, and failed in both efforts. Up to the time Grace heard of that telegram she was very shy about the whole case. Here is what she had to say about her trouble: “No,’’ she said, with stern determina- tion indicated by every curve of her young lips, “I really cannot discuss this matter at‘all’ You mus® g¢e my lawyer.’ “Was he a real. Cognt?” asked the shrinking reporter. se “You bet he was a Count, a real live one,’ said Miss Conklyn. ‘‘And, say, he was there as a real sport, too.

Nor is it any more understandable to ‘the uncorrupted intelligence why, when the {p-a-y-e feature was adopted, bars were stretched ‘along the right-hand windows.

The general outline of Gov. Hadley’s bill creat- ing a State Public Utilities Commission and em- powering it to regulate charges and conditions of public service, indicate a wise and practical measure. The detaiJs require careful study before final judgement may be ‘given on the measure as a whole. Having waged a successful battle for the edi ciple of regulation in the Cooper Enabling Act and having forced action on that law by the St. Louis Municipal Assembly, the Post-Dispatch took up the plan of a State commission as a relief from ob- stacles to a satisfactory conclusion through local action under the Cooper measure. After two years’ unceasing effort to get a commission created, we shrink from the heavy task of obtain- ing wise and just action upon its recommenda- tions. We apprehend danger from the immediate direct influence that may be directed upon both the Commission and the Municipal Assembly. to prevent just legislation. We foresee influences in local politics directed to the control of the Munici- pal Assembly for the purposes of public utility corporations which may be inimical to the inter- ests of the people. The proposed bill solves the problem of the rail- road Commission as at present constituted. The functions of that Commission will be merged with the wider functions of the new commission which will have supervision of all public.service corpora- tions with power to act. We believe one general commission can do the work better than several commissions. In creating a body with such a broad scope of duty and responsibility and with great powers care should be taken to safeguard public interests against mistakes. The corporations will have the right of appeal to the courts. The people should have protection in the power of the Governor to remove objectionable members. The salary should be sufficjent to insure the employment of men of high character and capacity. = = = — ‘‘We cannot restrain the corporations of the na- tion,” says President Wilson of Princeton, “until we punish. the individuals: responsible for viola- tions of the law.” How many times must this truism be repeated before some Attorney-General acts upon it with energy and effect? i Ae he . 7. Set THE ART OF MAKING RATE SHEETS. The acquitta] of the Standard Oil Co. by order of the Court in the famous $29,000,000 case ap- pears to have been inevitable. Resting his instructions to acquit upon the de- cision of the Court of Appeals in the first trial, Judge Anderson says: “The Court of Appeals nas said upon this same evidence, after having con- sidered it in all its relations, after the evidence which was given, that it cannot say that these two papers (referring to the railroad tariff sheet and the Lllinois classification) really fix any 18-cent rate. Therefore, if it is a matter about which rea- sohable men may differ or trained judges may dis- agree, if the Court of Appeals says after reviewing these papers and consulting together, that they cannot tell what it is, then, of course, the evidence is not sufficient for you in finding that these papers establish that rate beyond a reasonable doubt.” This is a remarkable utterance. And no sane, honest man can find fault with it. It amounts, however, to this: If railroad companies muddle a traiff and classification so cunningly and com- pletely that the wisest judges on the bench can- not make out its meaning, any departure from it cxnnot be considered unlawful. Of course not. There can be no violation of a rule unless -there is an intelligible rule to violate, and in this case such a rule was not found. It is a great joke, but the public would like to hear from the Interstate Commerce Commission. Why are railroad companies permitted to issue such cunning snares? = = rw The prime duty of Democrats is to rid their party of the leaders of clements which handicap it in every election. The work of riddance can only be done at the polls. i, Lin Ae ry? THE SOROLLA COLLECTION. A correspondent in today’s letter column of the Post-Dispatch asks why St: Louis is not to have the collection of paintings by Sorolla-y-Bastida, The question is perti- nent to the place St. Louis-occupies as the fourth city of the Union and the metropolis of the Cen- tral West. The Sorolla collection has created a sensation in New York, where immense crowds have flocked to see it. It is booked for Buffalo this month and for Chicago in the summer. Surely if Buf- falo can afford to have the collection on view St. Louis can. We have now a Municipal Museum of Art, one of the most commodious and beautiful buildings of its kind in the country. It should be used to its full capacity for exhibitions of the best ex- amples of art work and surely no collection of paintings would have greater interest or could be more instructive than that of the work. of the gifted Spanish artist. The money expended in bringing the collection here would be well invested. = * rT A Chicago. woman who read Shakspeare got a divorce from her husband who read only Brad- etreet’s.

Superficial observers may think that the di- vine injunction to rest on the seventh day now- adays is obsolete. But, as a matter of fact, the people today not only rest on the Sabbath, but it is a day of physical and mental recreation. One indication of this is the enormous circulations of the Sunday newspapers, although their price is five times as great as that of the weekday news- paper. And the Sunday newspapers are in ‘de- mand for their features as well as for their news, as is shown by the fact that before they began printing special Sunday features the Sunday circulations were even smaller than the weekday circulations. And today the special Sunday features that create enormous Sunday circulations are entirely different from and have little or nothing to do: with the mere worldly tot et ee ee ‘hese senate are ngpired by a glance at is eae *, rig ae = ery which include a large number of niotba features | of an educational and informative character above and beyond workaday ‘matters, yet concerning things of vital importance in St. Louis and its immediate neighborhood. — The late F. ‘Louis Soldan told a story illustrat- ; ing conditions in the public schools of St. Lovis before that reformation which has excluded Law- ler Daleys from the School Board. Mr. Soldan was then principal of the High School. He ac- companied some members of the Board on a visit to a ward school. Washington’s birthday was AD- | proaching and a teacher anxious to show che | visitors that she was inculcating patriotism, called on a pupil to tell “Who was George Washington?” The pupil was bashful, but there was a great show of hands and the beaming teacher, pointing to a bright little maiden, said: “Say, youse.” The maiden rose, folded her arms behind her and said glibly: “He was a father in the country; first ‘n car, first a piece and first of all the countrymans.” i i mie Scotland does some things better.

What should the voters do at the April election to promote the best interest of the city? Consider ‘the parties as organized and directed; consider each ticket as a whole and the individual candidates. Limit your letters to not more than 150 words. “The City Tickets.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If Mr. H. 8. Taylor, “independent voter,” really desires, as he says, ‘“‘to vote for the best man re- gardiess of politics,” and is anxious to find a can- didate who will meet all the requirements; one who is not, nor ever has been, a politician, but is simply a plain citizen, a man of the people, whose charac- ter for honesty and integrity is above reproach, and whose ability is unquestioned; let him look up the record of Martin R. H. Witter, Republican candidate for City Register. His record is an open book which all may read. DD A. Be The Socialist Party Plan. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. As the people of St. Louis want a clean adminis- tration and a model city, why not elect the whole Socialist ticket? Every man on this ticket is a dues- paying member of that party, otherwise he could not become a candidate for any office, and every one of them has been investigated &s to his personal character and found to be strictly honest, otherwise he would not have been accepted in their member- ship, for everyone wishing to become a dues-paying member of the Socialist party is first carefully inves- tigated and must be found strictly honest before he will be accepted as a member, and if found to do anything dishonest after becoming a member he is promptly expelled from the party membership. J. F. ARLITZ, The Hospital Fund. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A short time ago I wrote to the Post-Dispatch and inquired as to the disposition made of the funds col- lected in the name of charity for the hospitals, ‘and what procedure was necessary to enable a poor per- son to enter a private hospital as a charity patient. Your answer to my query was that the money was distributed among the different hospitals to maintain charity wards, but did not advise the course to be taken to get into a charity ward. All of this comes back to me by reason of the story printed in your paper a few days since, of a poor, afflicted woman who had been shifted from one town to another and finally landed in St. Louls, where an effort was made to send her to the City Hospital, but without success, since she was not a resident of this city. A further effort was made to send her to a private hospital, but admittance was denied. Now comes the point to all of this. Why did the private hos- pitals refuse to take her in if they had received the thousands of dollars for just such purposes? If the charity wards are not for such cases as this, then for what class of people are they reserved? I have talked with a number of physicians upon the subject, and they one and all have said that they had never succeeded in getting a charity case into a private hospital. A. C. JACQUITH. The Sorolla Collection. | To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There is considerable questioning among loca] art- ists and friends of art as to whether we are to have the Sorolla exhibition which is making such a sen- sation in New York. It is about the strongest and most individual collection that has visited the United States In years, being the work of a Spaniard— Joaquin Sorolla-y-Bastida, one of the greatest paint- ers of the day. The public is greatly indebted to certain generous citizens who for some time past have “dug down” into their pockets for the purpose of keeping the museum alive. We hope now that our very efficient board may be empowered to go ahead with the proper business of the museum—a most important branch of which is the holding of strong exhibitions. We therefore trust that the board will be given the necessary funds to bring this Sorolla collection to St. Louis. Zuloaga, another great Spanish painter, and the noted German exhi- bition have both passed us by and shall this, by far the best, pass us by likewise? Must we remain a “one-night stand” in music, a “one-week stand’ in the. drama and an occasional stand in the best painting? St. Louis has the money to support &@ museum. It is already upon the art map in possessing a good, though small, museum at Nine- teenth street, having had a fine American showing in fine arts at the Fair and lastly, in progressing from private to public ownership of the institution in Forest Park. We have the distinction of being the first American purchaser of Sorolla’s work. The second, up to the present moment, is New York, “An- other Marguerite’ was bought at the Chicago Fair by one of our prominent citizens—an art lover—for our museum. All the more reason why we should see more of this man’s work now. Every artist, stu- dent and lover of art in this country owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. A. M. Huntington of the His- panic Society for bringing these 400 paintings by Sorolla and Zuloaga for our study and pleasure. We cannot afford ’to let this great opportunity pass us by. CF. 2 The Men in the Fireroom. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. An article appeared in your paper regarding the men that work below on the boilers and coal bunk- ers of a ship—a shipmate aboard here that hails from Missouri receives your paper steadily, and while reading it I happened to come across the paragraph. It’s a fact that an outsider or landlubber seldom hears or learns anything of the poor, hard- working and intelligent animal that gives the ship its true life. The “Kansas” made the trip around the world with the “Big Sixteen," and, by the great catfish, the scenery, different climes and welcomes to paid for dearly, by hard, tedious and hot work by the men in the fireroom.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin. “There are X-rays and N-rays and there are also rays from those mantle things that you put on gas burners to improve the light.” The speaker, a photographer, pointed to a batch of fogged plates. “T know to my cost that there are mantle rays,” said he. “For a month I stored new plates in a closet along and all of them got fogged. The mantle, you see, contains thorium, a radio-active substance that penetrates a cardboard plate-box ag eas- ily as it penetrates glass. I didn’t know that till my doctor told me so last week: My ignorance cost me over a hundred plates.” TT THE LAST MEDICINE MAN. From the Indian‘s Friend. Hut-cho-nn* pah, last of the medicine men, died last month in the Snake Hills of the Creek Nati: '. He was % years old. Hut-cho-nu-pah led the last re- bellion of the Creeks in 1890. His fac- tin was subdued by the Creeks them- selves before the United States troops got there. In a battle Hut-cho-nu-pah’s bind was annihilated and he was con- demned to death. But so great was the awe in which the old medicine man was held that no one could be found to be his executioner. With his adherents dead and himself im- prisoned, his influence was so potent that he compelled the election of a friend as chief and was pardoned. COUDREY’S BAGGAGE BILL. From the Topeka Journal. Congressman Coudrey of Missouri thinks that the time has arrived when the Government should take a hand in ths reg .tion of the carrying of bazg- gage by railroads. - > has introduced a bill requiring, the railroads to carry free 150 poundg of baggage, including “sample baggage” for every adult pas- senger, and making any amount in ex- cess of that weight “excess baggage,” for which reasonable fees may be charged. It would seem to be time that there was some such law as this which will make the handling of bag- gage uniform throughout the country. —— A COY MAIDEN, From the. Altoona (Kan.) Tribune. A girl in Neodesha played “postof- fice’”’ at a party the other night and yelled and shrieked and howled and ran behind the door and scratched the young man’s face in seven places, upset a lamp, kicked over the piano stool, and when he finally kissed her on the tip of the ear she fainted dead away and JUST A MINUTE FOR Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams, GANG of geese passed overhead, And in their wild discordant cries Was borne a promise of the Spring, Downdropping from the leaden skies— Of waking earth and flowers bright, Of singing birds, and where the dead > Brown pastures are the quickened grass— :..

If I possessed an income of $5000 per day, my wealth would be sufficient for me to undertake almost any. proposi- tion. I would start out with a propa- ‘ganda of rehabilitating the Ghetto, to wit: I would start a charitable organ- ation on a 10 per cent basis, which,no philanthropist could make any k0en- I would hold the controlling interest in same, so that no mercenaries could creep in and try to undo the in- tent of this noble work. I would start off to get an option on all the property bounded by Seventh, Twelfth, Wash and O'Fallon streets. I would build con- crete houses, say three stories high, of three rooms and kitchen, with hollow @quare or playgrounds; each building covering an entire block; each building to have its own heat and cold storage _ plant; washhouse in basement, with all Banitary arrangements (which the rich possess), only not quite so e rate. In the dbasement I would pr in calaboose ‘for the unruly children. Have a guard- trary power of incarceration.

The First Quarter. HE BRIDE was silent. She . had been silent for five whole min- utes, which, had you known the pride, you wouid recognized as a yery grave symptom indeed. Now, the bride- groom did not know the bride very well. They had been married just a little over a week. So he was unaware of her silence. To him it was a part of the rare June evening which had led them to walk the two miles to the village postoffice together. They were returning now, hand in hand, in. a happy, casual saunter, which quickened only when. an approaching motor honked its alarm, and they jumped aside to let it pass. The bride had been very happy in the Postoffice and very important. For did she not hide in her hand the first let- ter ever addressed to her as Mrs. Jack? It. was only from her recent maid of- honor, and she knew exactly what was in it, but in some way that sprawled address seemed to add to the dignity of her new estate, and she rejoiced. The bridegroom read it over her shoulder under the single flickering gas jet, and he, too, was very proud, and both were quite oblivious of the frowning Post- master, who wanted to lock up for the night and get to his game of penuchle GREELEY sAuTH tions were so chaotic and uncertain that lat the store. It was not until they were half a mile on their homeward journey that the strange silence had fallen upon the bride. What was in that square gray envelope now reposing in the bridegroom's pocket? He had explained all the others as they were handed to him—‘‘Mother, Elsie, Jim, the office’’—— But that one he had said nothing about. What was in it?, The bride would die rather than ask. So she said icily “Do you like gray writing paper?’ The bridegroom started at the clear- cut shrillness of the bride’s tone. It roused him from a world of revery and cigar rings that had wreathed them- selves like so many haloes over the bride’s dark curls. This mood was one with the sifting moonlight, the sighing cedars that lined the roadside, “Do I like gray writing paper?’ he gasped. “That’s wat I asked you,” she an- swered coldly. “And big square envel- opes and gcratchy, sprawly handwrit- ing?” The bridegroom stopped still in the road. “You crazy little mutt!’’ he said, and gathered her in his arms. “But that awful Women, how dare she write to you—how dare you get letters from her on your honeymoon!”’ gasped the bride. .Yet her head rested more or less contentedly right over the fatal missive. ‘*T don’t know what you mean,” tem- porized the bridegroom. ip mean—I mean that big gray en- velope in your pocket!”’ she gasped. The bridegroom laughed and took the mail out of his pocket. When_he saw the letter to which the bride referred the laugh broadened to an uproarious peal. ‘You jealous fiend!”’ he said teasingly. Then he thought a moment, and added: “Now yeu don’t know what’s ‘in that letter and I don’t. To show you what I think of it I'll burn ft without read- ing it. You cfln hold the match.’ So the bridegroom held the letter and struck a match for the bride, who ap- plied it to one corner of the mysterious envelope. At the beginning of the ‘holocaust the bridegroom felt very proud of himself. So far as he knew there really was nothing in the letter, but like all men he didn't want the bride to be too sure of it. Burning the ‘letter would appease ber wrath and not remove the glamour of mystery from his more or less blame- less past. But, suddenly from the burn- ing missive there arose the weird and dreadful odor of burning woolen. One corner of the envelope withered away under the flame and an unro- mantic lot of tailors’; samples\ slowly caught the fire.

HOUSTON, Tex., March 12.—A drizzling rain kept the St. Louis Browns It was raining when they awoke and was still raining noon, and Manager McAleer decided that a day of idleness, while the air Rube Waddell showed up in the break- Rube says he brought back eight canvasbacks and left something like fifty dead in the swamps. The eight birds are to be specially prepared under the direc- tfon of Rube himself for a dinner tonight. ‘tomorrow and Sunday. . n A The team will play the Houston HOUSTON, Tex., March 12. T this early date in the Browns’ training, it seems that Hobe Ferris will begin the season of 1909, on April 14, with as much speed as he acquired about the middle of July last seascn. tter form than any member of the team and in the “irst few games played The nervous third baseman is in im the South has displayed the class it took him more than iwo months to at- thin one year ago. | ough the Browns were held to a tle unt by the nr little Houston team in the exhibition contest of ten in- mings yesterday afternoon, the fans of Lou's need have no fear of the fu- tare. Not one of the St. Louis pitchers ued a curve ball during the contest, bumpy grounds caused four errors t gave the home team its bunch of llies, enough to make the battle even ahd cause great delight in this fair little city. The playing of Hobe Ferris was the feature of the exhibit. He punched one 0 the right-fieid fence, something that is dons only about twice in a sea- gon down here. He lined another out for three bags and he scooped two or three nasty grounders on the infield and shot the ball over to first in a manner such as is never seen in the Texas League. The fans here thought t it would be a good trade to give the entire Houston club just for Hobe. But there are one or two other mem- bers of the Brownies who are springing into their stride early in the season. Danny Hoffman is one and it now seems that the two youngsters aspiring to the outfield positions, Crum and McAleese, will have a difficult task in beating out this veteran, who never did strike his natural pace during the season of 1908. Danny is hitting the ball in a line al- ready 2nd his fielding is as strong as ever. There are no outfielders who can go back after a fly ball with greater skill and absolutely none, Birmingham, Cobb nor any of the stars, throw the ball in with such speed and accuracy as this fellow. His one weak- ness is hitting against left-handed pitchers, and so far this spring they

He'll be ready, though, when it’s time. Hartzell game merry clip with ‘which he finished last fall and so is Tom Jones. Schweitzer hasn’t come up ta his fall speed yet, but is being re- strainec by the manager and trainer because they don’t want to hurry him, fearing another breakdown with his leg, which kept him out of the game / when he was so badly needed last sea- gon. ' (McAloer expects Jimmy Williams at any time, and the: he will get his -efack infield started off. Wallace has * been taking things easy at the start because he never has any trouble in getting into condition anyway, and there’s- rio’ use. in taking .chances . of early injury. Tom Jones is happier, than he has _ ver been before, because it’s the first time, he declares, for four years that ‘McAleer hasn't had some youngster here on the -spring tip rying to - his job. — game is billed with the tenn. ton club Saturday and if the weather is warm then, some of the young pitch- ers will be permitted to curve the ball and cut loose with a bit of speed, so the Brownies will doubtless win a game. Jimmy Stephens had the laugh on Tom Jones yesterday. The big first base- man got hit with a ball in the head, but luckily it didn’t hurt him. It was Tom who threw the ball in Fort Worth, giving Jimmy the black lamp. Schweitzer played second base in the game yesterday and showed that with a little practice he could become a com- petent infielder. He can cover a lot of grounds and made one sharp play on a bunted ball during the game. Walter Justus wears a smile all the time he is working in the box. It seems to be a habit of his, but it con- veys the impression that nothing. wor- ries him. Roy Hartzell stung two to the outfield in a line yesterday. One went to the fence for a three-bagger. Roy’s arm is workiag at full speed, too, and the fans of St. Louis know how he can line them across the diamond. Infielder Griggs ' spent the day in bed, but ex-

——- all commu D should be to the man who is to stand at stormy passage to come. However, it will not’ hurt the good cause cny if this gentleman Griggs makes good, as he promises to do. If Hartzell is to do a regular outfield act an infield substitute will be a boon, Mr Enright « the Cardinals seems to be in right. lor, wituout being cognizant of the fact, has put the championship of 19099 in the American league into the hands of Cleveland. Mr. Taylor wrecked Li own club by practically forwli.g the ré«‘gnation of cGuire and “!sposing of Criger and Cy Young. McGuire went to Cievelan:, la. last year, and supplied that team’s missing quality, brains, to such an extent that the club ran up from fourth place to within one-half a game of first at the finish. In addition, the Blues have taken t> Taylor’s dis- card, Cy Young. These two factors, T may be possible that John I: Tay- added to a team that ~already needed o inspiration, seems to give the Naps : yportunity long sought. A card of thanks should surely be voted Mr. Taylor. The Browns are will- ing to give him one, just for Criger. 7 seems without a solution—at least one that can be printed. Boston last year, under McGuire, was a team ‘of considerable native strength. It was of sufficient character to wreck the Browns’ chances of the pennant and to ¢ause Hughie Jennings to feel for his life insurance policy by winning three victories from the Tigers at a time when that club needed _ every game. It fought the Western clubs viciously throughout the season and seemd destined to be an important fac- tor this year. Then, enter Mr. T., owner, who may do what he will with his own property, to wit, the club. Mr. T. trades La Porte, then playing great baseball, for Niles, a double discard; forces Maguire's sermon eee. and later caps it all by let- HE mystery of the Boston team ‘cations emana 1 condition of Jimmy Williams, we have it from Manager McAleer that James will be on the job at sec ond for the Browns ‘vhen the s2ason Starts.

In the estimation of the critics he has sunk his club two places:in the league standing an. himself goodness knows how far in‘popular estimation. The question of WHY -stands out so prominently that even we in St. Louis, who have no tears to shed if Boston is weak instead of a bugbear in the path of the Browns, have had our curiosity aroused. Mr. Taylor should pattern after Mr. Robison, who, after years of moulding his own teams over the head of his manager, has decided that he wants to get his club out o: last position and has let his manager have free rein. H the New York fans, it may be taken as a certainty that the big fellow has grave doubts of his own stamina. Attributing to Jeffries even average cupidity, if he thought he could get close to fighting shape, does it not seem probable that he would consent to arrange for a battle some months hence, with such a magnificent stake in sight as is offered him? Jeff is a still greater mystery than John I. Taylor.. Unless he feels posi- tive that he will never be able to fight at all, his lack of confidence in his ability to get back to form is not to be understood. He is the first of all fight- ers to anticipate his own backsliding, physically. It is the fact that Jeff takes such a pessimistic view of his own future, with such a reason for optimism right at hand, that make one wonder what is all beneath it. IWEVER good Jeff may look to a -

John J. Schaab, president of the Southwestern Amateur Rowing Asso- ciation, wili depart for New York next week, to attend a session of the Exec- utive Committee of the National Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen, to be heid March 20. The meeting will have especial sig- nificance to the West, as Mr. Schaab announces he intends to support De- troit’s campaign for the annual _ re- gatta. Délegate Webster of Detroit, last year broached the subject at the annual election. He proposed to have the event held under the auspices of a De- troit club at Detroit. Mr. Schaab guar- anteed, for St. Louis, that every ‘club in the city would have at least one crew in the regatta if the event came West. As it has been many years sincé the national regatta has been held in the West the Detroit outlook will be fa- vorably received. The awarding of the regatta to the West will mean a boom in rowing here. Mound City Rowing Club oarsmen do not intend to be caught asleep next summer, The members of the club are already making plans for an active sea- son. John Snow has been acting as trainer for the Mouwnd.City men for sev- eral years. He will again be on deck this season. The clud crews plan to start to get in trim early in May. On May 16 the season will formally be opened with the club regatta. The first open race will be on June 2), when the eight-oared shell race for the Lemp trophy will be rowed. The Stifel. Cup race, for barges, will as usual be rowed on July 4.

re” Promoter Who Fostered Burns-Johnson Battle)

Thinks Jeffries Can Regain His Effectiveness. NEW YORK, March 12.—Hugh McliIn- tosh, who promoted the world’s cham- pionship prize fight between Johnson and Burns in Sydney, arrived today on the steamer Mauretania from Liverpool. McIntosh announced. before leaving Australia that he had a purse of $60,000 to offer for a fight between Johnson and James J. Jeffries if the two men would consent to fight for the world’s championship in Australia. Mcintosh said today that he would: be satisfied to have the contest take place in either England, France or Australia, but preferred England. He said his sole purpose in coming here was to see Jef- fries, and try to induce him to take on Johnson. His offer of a $60,000 purse stood, he declared. ‘‘T am satisfied that Jeffries can be trained and brought into fit condition for the fight,” said McIntosh. “For him to enter thé ring with Johnson without being in best condition, however, would be extremely foolish, for Johnson is a wonderful fighter.

MARLIN, Tex., March:12.—As a result of a fist fight in the. hotel corridor early this morning; Cy Seymour has been dis- charged from the membership of the New York Giants, ‘and his name hay been stricken from the register of the ‘Arlington Hotel, for some reason which is as yet. unexplained. Seymour met Arlie Latham in the hall leading from their rooms to the elevator, knocked him down and then bit him on the @heek. McGraw was a witness to the affair and immediately ordered Sey- mour discharged. Seymour would have nothing to’ say and Latham declares that he does not know for what reasoh he was attacked. McGraw says that’ he and Latham had ‘just ‘dressed. and had started for the elevator. Latham ‘was behind and Seymour came up to: him. McGraw says he heard Seymour say: “Why, I'll give’ you a-punch in the jaw.’"’ In another second Latham had been knocked down and Seymour jumped on top of him and.bit him. “I'll fight him at the park,” Latham said ag he reached the hotcl desk. ‘‘No, you won't,” replied McGraw, ‘“‘Seymour will be. barred from the park, as well as the hotel and the club.’ ‘Do you really mean that Seymour is done with the club?’. McGraw - was asked. J “Well, I’m telling you the facts,” re- plied McGraw, rather hotly. “I am not in a habit of shying ‘things just to hear myself talk. Seymour is done with the New: York club, and that goes. It was the worst thing I have ever seen pulled off,” continued McGraw. ‘‘Nothing like that can go, on the New York club.” Seymour donned his uniform and start- ed for the park,’ but: McGraw: gave him to. understand his orders were positive.

No matter how much a man may toil at home, it doesn’t count a8 work, ac- cording to a ruling made Friday by Judge Pollard in the Dayton Street Police Court when he fined William O’Day $100 on complaint of his wife. Mrs. O’Day «testified that when her husband entered their home at 1417 North Fourth street after two hours’ absence Thursday night he threatened her with a butcher knife and threw his hat at their boarder, Miss Lizzie Schnitz. “He doesn’t work at all,” wife. “IT don’t see how she makes that out,”’ said O’Day on the witness: stand. “I do all the housework. I cook the meals anf get the children ready for school. I wash the dishes and the clothes and do all the dusting and Sweeping. Isn't that work?’ Judge Pollard didn’t seem to think so. “That’s funny,” said O’Day, as he went back to the cage. ‘I’m one of the best housekeepers in town.”

AACE FOR HOUSE

Final Decision of Delegates Is Given in Face of Strong Pressure.

The Democratic members of the House of Delegates, who are running for re- election, will not withdraw from the ticket. Their final decision was given at 4 conference at Democratic city head- quarters Thursd@y. Every possible pressure was brought to bear upon the members to retire in the general inter- est of the party and the ticket, but they refused. Their decision means that ‘‘Jiggers” Gallagher in the Third ‘Warg, Isaac Con- ran in the Fifth, W. J. Brennan in the] Sixteenth, Frank Hussey in the Twenty- second and James Brennan in the Twenty-sixth, all members of the House combine, and Fred Wiedmer, member of the combine that existed in the pre- ‘vious House, will stand for re-election. The Third and Sixteenth wards are strongly Democratic, but the Republic- ans are going to concentrate their fight on Conran, Hussey and James T. Bren- nan in the Fifth, Twenty-second and Twenty-sixth wards, and try to defeat therh. The other members running for re- election are John Golden, tn the Fifth, and James Connell, in the Twenty-fifth. They were not associated with the com- bine. M. J. Tobin of the Fourteenth, a combine member, was defeated for the nomination. The Democrats fee] that they will be greatly handicapped in the municipal campaign with Gallagher, Hussey, Con- ran and the two Brennans on the ticket. There is no prospect now that Law- rence P. Daley wil] vowntarily retire as a candidate for the Board of Educa- tion. ,

) THIS. ALL THE SAME: The Post-Dispatch is printing a series of talks on real estate that should not fail to interest the average reader, be- cause ‘Real estate is the basis of all wealth.”’—Roosevelt, and nearly everybody wants wealth in more or less degree. In this series of talks on real estate the Post-Dispatch’s object» is to point out some of the fundamental principles which underlie thfs form of investment. Each talk or “‘chapter’’ will deal with only one phase of the problem; so be sure to read every one as it appears. THOUGHT 1. The Increase of Population. The first matter for consideration is that of population—how its increase af- ' fects the value of real estate. To illustrate this point, consider what the effect of 1000 wWew residents would be upon a city of only 8000 people. It is readily seen that new homes would have to be built and new stores provid. ed. This would mean that the ground area of the city would have to be en- larged; land which is now used for farming would be turned into city blocks with electric light, gas, water service and sewerage. This would increase the value of land at the edge of the city and in order to ‘| preserve the proper balante other land nearer the center of the city would nec- essarily increase in proportion. When you consider that the average increase in poulation of cities ev- erywhere is 2% per cent In 10 years, you will realize the importance of thig sub- : ject more fully. In five years the average city of 9000 ‘population. ‘Alton 3

Cites Decisions Bearing Directly on Points — in Question. F. W. LEHMANN AGREES Tribunals of California and Wisconsin Ruled on Simi- lar Cases.

Objections +o the Municipal Court bill, on the ground of supposed unconstitu- tionality, have been answered by Fred- erick N. Judson in a ‘letter to State Senator Fields, chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary. Mr.. Judgon'’s opinion is indorsed by Fred W. Lehmann, whose signature fol- lows that of the writer in the copy sent to Senator Fields. Mr. Judson’, ‘letter follows: ST. LOUIS,’ March 11, 1909. Hon. Emmet 8#., Fields, Chairman Judiciary Committee of Senate, Jefferson City, Mo. Dear Senator: Mr. Grossman has shown me your letter concerning the suggested un- constitutionality of the Municipal Court bill, and at his request I write you concerning same. The first point raised, that the court is not a municipal corporation court, as specially provided for in Section 1 of Article 6 of the Constitution, it seems to me is directly answered by the decision of the Court in Cake vs. White, 91 Mo. 79. It is true that that court had been established prior to the adoption of. the Constitution, but that fact is rendered immaterial as Section 42 of the same article of the Constiution continued in exist- ence all courts not named or pro- vided for in the Constitution only until the term of the incumbent judge had expired. In this case the term of the Judge had expired and thus the question was fairly presented and necessarily decided that the term “municipal corporation court” meant, not a court whose jurisdiction was con- fined to municipal offenses and busi- ness, but a court whose jurisdiction was territorially limited to the mu- nicipality, and the character of such jurisdiction, therefore, not be- ing declared in the Constitution, emust necessarily be left for the Leg- islature to determine. Similar California Case. This Recorder’s Court of Hannibal, which was thus in effect declared a municipal corporation court under the Constitution, had jurisdiction in ac- tions of replevin which ordinarily be- longed to the concurrent jurisdiction of justices of the peace and the cir- cuit courts. This jurisdiction was re- tained under the Consitution of 1876, not because it had been established prior to the Constitution, but be- cause it was a municipal corporation court within the meaning of that ar- ticle. I see no escape from this conclu- sion and the same view of munici- pal corporation court has been de- clared in all the cases which have been brought to my attention. Thus, in Uridias vs. Morrell, 22 Cal. 473, the Court considered a provision of the Constitution of that State sub- stantially the same as our own, which gave the Legislature power to establish municipal and other in- ferior courts. The case was one of unlawful detainer. The Court said that the term “municipal courts” had a legal meaning and significa- tion and clearly includés mayors’ and recorders’ courts, as those were well known and universally recog- nized as being of that character, and that as the Constitution had not: defined the jurisdiction of such courts, it has therefore to be de- clared and regulated by the Legisia- ture under its general powers. Wisconsin Court Decision The same view was taken by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin in Stark vs. McArthur, 13 Wis., page 9383. There the wegislature established a municipal court in the City of Mil- waukee and gave it jurisdiction ter- ritorially over the entire county. The court held that it was consti- tutional, saying that the Constitution avidently contempiated that the-mu- nicipal courts authorized by it may, within the limits over which the jur- isuiction e~tends, have a jurisdiction equal to that vested by the Consti- tution in the circuit courts. The court said, “The object evidently was to enable the Legislature to transfer to the municipal courts some portion - rf the labor which would otherwise RA seen enter: : iy a + #eeee sogaee Spies wastes to otve See on no longer, will not have to 4 give the et F Ss eo ae a ae tee b fale monia at the Hollman homa, m6 8 we avenue, and the doctor from the E ‘Department, who called Friday 1 ing, shook his head and sald that frail body, ee ms sles, would have 5 Dang Ale Sem this new attack of disease, Lewis will not be taken to @ h his mother puts him down.

Angry Word Was Spoken by Veterans. TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., March 12,— Two civil war veterans, John W. Wal- lace and D. W. Lazelle, have just com- pleted in their home village of Mance- lona a card-playing contest that has iasted for 20 years. Two decades ago, an agreement was made that the village championship should be accorded to that one of the two soldiers who could win 10 consecutive games. Night after night, alternating be- tween the homes of the two contest- ants, and omitting Sundays, the con- test has gone en for a score of years. Several times Wallace had nine games to his gredit only to lose the tenth to Lazelle; but patiently and carefully the score was kept, and it is said that in all the 20 years of playing not an angry word was spoken by either of the two contestants. When Wallace won his tenth consecy- tive game Wednesday night, Lazelle promptly challenged him for another series, but Wallace declined on the ground that neither he nor his op- ponent would live long enough to complete another contest.

Names Are Significant. “Friend,’’ asked the .masculine half of the party in the runabout, ‘‘what road is this?’’ “This is lovers’ lane, sir,’’ said the native: ‘‘and it ends down there in the bend of the river they call it devil’s

The world, particularly St. Louis, does not seem so unfriendly to William H. Pope Jr. as it did when he advertised in the Post-Dispatch, two days ago, that, ‘“‘to escape starvation or begging,”’ he would give himself to anyone who would provide him with food and cloth- ing for three months. Since the pub- lication of bis unique advertisement, so many offers, not merely of food and lodging, but of paid positions, have come to Pope that his chief trouble has been to decide between them. Friday he had his choice between two. jobs as solicitor, one for an East St. Louis firm, one for a Franklin avenue merchant, one position in a Morgan street grocery, One place as houseman in a Cook avénue family, one clerkship with an advertising agency and one of- fer of inside clerical work with a chemi- cal company. He liked the looks of the last offer best and went. Friday morning to look into it, with the expec- tation that he would be settled in some steady employment before night. A friend of Pope's father, Judgé W. H. Pope of the Circ=:it Court In Beau- mont, Tex., who read of’ the young man’s plight in Thursday’s Post-Dis- patch, hunted him up last evening, and insisted on providing him with a hearty dinner and a comfartable bed.
