x ESSORSU BY CHORUS GIRL OR A DWORCE Former Member of Anna Held Company Infatuated Gray- Haired Teacher.

SEPARATED AT ALTAR Made Up Later and Now Wife Charges Husband With Cruelty.

By Leased Wire rem the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. “ NEW YORK, March 1).—Pupils of the De Witt Clinton High School were astonished this morning to learn that their professor of biology, Dr. Richard Ellsworth Call, is being sued for divorce bv a former member of Anna Held's company. Tie suit reveals the infatuation of a gray-haired professor of ee benign appearance for a cnorus girl, their trial marriage, separation at the altat, suit for annulment of tuweir marriage, recon- ciliation and the final breach which has culminated in the suit for divorce. — Mr. Call Was assistant professor of natural scieneés in the University of Missouri one year, 1885-6. He differed with Prof. J. W. Spencer, the ranking professor on some scientific question and lost his position at the end of the year ou that account. He was married at that time. He was considered authority on snails and had a fine collection of shells. He was a church worker and his family life ap- peared ideal. His first wife died before he met his present spouse. Mrs. Call was known as Bijou Charl- met when she appeared in the chorus of “The Little Duchess.” She is a fasci- nating girl of French extraction, who became known to many members of exclusive New York society while she was a manicure at the Hotel St. Regis. When she met Prof. Call he was curator of the Children’s Park, between Brooklyn and Kingston avenues. He had.recently divorced his first wife, who réturnéd to her home in David City, Neb, Separated at the Altar. Prof. Call lost his heart te the girl, and after.apn ardent wooing and _ his gifts to her, he says, of $5000 and $1000 worth of jewelry, they were married in April, 1906, in Montclair, N. J. ~ But what promised so much happiness ended abruptly. The professor's fair young bride, so he says, left him at the altar, telling him he would have to prove for a year his ability to support her suitably before she would live with him. Heartbroken, he let her go her way, and did not see her again until almost two vears later. Hearing that she was living in West Gne Hundred and Sixth street, he says, he called to try to win her back, but was, forcibly ejected from the house. Then she disappeared again, he says, and he applied for an annulment of the marriage on the ground that she had vommitted a frand on him. Made Her Drink Brandy. That suit brought her to light again, and when she sent fer him to come to at Bay Shore, Long Island, he yielded, and for a few months they lived together more or less happily. They then separated again and this time it is the wife who is bringing suit. She accuses him of making her drink brandy and of ill-treating her, but this Prof. Call flatly denies. Mrs. Call denies that the professor gave her $5000 or anything like that amount, and says that since their ‘sepa- ration she has received only $30 from him.

HLORUFORM BY BURGLARS: HOME ROBBED Woman’s Handkerchief Left Covering Face of Mrs. William J. Frank.

A woran's handkerchief, with the initial’ ““J.’’ embroidered in one corner, was found covering the face of Mrs. Mary Frank, when her husband, Willian: J. Frank, awakened her, after discover- ing that burglars had chloroformed them both and robbed their home at 5325 Wells avenue of jewelry valued at $2760. The handkerchief is one which Mrs. Frank never saw before. It is small, and of inexpensive material. The im- probability of a man carrying,such a handkerchief has suggested to Mr. and Mrs. Frank, and to the police, that a woman, ofA nave aasisted’ in ‘the- Dbiips. glary. The husband, who feund his aching head covered with a drug-saturated towel when he awoke long after his accustomed time Sunday morning, re- membered that he had offered Saturday night, in a erowd of strangers, to bet $10,000 on Kreismann’s election to the mayoralty. Probably Followed From Saloon, Frank said Monday that he thought he might have been followed to his home from the Easton avenue saloon where he made the offer of a wager. Several men, he said, left the place just after he did. That at least one man took part in the burglary was indicated by the deep indentations of a jimmy with which the tightly fastened dining room window of the Frank home had been pried open. This took a strong wrist. Frank, who is a director in the Jacob Frank Mercantile Co., 821 North Sixth street, went to bed at 1 a. m. Sun- day. He is accustomed to sieep not more than five hours, and arises at 6 a. m. on Sundays as on week days. It was 8:35 a. m. Sunday when awoke, his temples throbbing, and lifted a pungent-smelling towel from his face. His eyes smarted, and as he looked about ne saw .at once that his room had been ransacked. The bureau drawers were open, and two satchels, which had contained most of Mr. and Mrs. Frank’s valuables, stood open and empty in the middle of the floor, where they had been dragged from a closet. Found His Wife Urnconscious. As Frank realized that he had been chloroformed and rebbed, he stepped from his room, which is the rear of two bedrooms, to that occupied by his wife, next the dining room. He saw her ng motionless, the small hand- kerchief across her face. He threw the bit af cloth upon the fleer, and, opening a window, let in the air. His wife, half awakened, put her hands to her head and uttered a cry of pain. She .was dizzy, and was not able at first to arise. When they went back to the hus- band’s roem and examined the bureau d the closet, they found that the burglars had taken $46 in cash from a_box, $ from ene of the satchels, and all the jewelry. The articles of jew- elry, with their valuation by Mr. and Mrs. Frank, were: Only One Room Ransaecked. One pair of diamond cuff buttons, cost he $200; sunburst, five diamonds, $750; pair earrings, two karats, $600; diamond ring, three sets, one of one and a “half karat and two of one-half karat, $500; breastpin, two and a half karats, $400; tourquoise and diamond ring, $200; dia- mond shirtwaist buttons, $75; tortoise shell combs, $35, No evidence of ransacking was found except in Frank’s bedroom. Apparently the burglars, after chloroforming Mrs. Frank, looked ibout her room and de- cided that the valuables were else- where, then went to the husband's room. A gas jet which Frank had left burning in the ball near Mrs. Frank's door was turned out by the burglars, probably just Gefore they left the house.

BELL HOP” WHO “SAVING KID, BUYS OWN HOT ~> Peter Hyde, Who Put Away $3000 During St. Louis Fair, Pays $5000 Down.

Peter Hyde, 26 years old, who saved $3000 while workifg as a Hotel Jeffer- son bell boy during the World’s Fair, has bought the “Y” Hotel at Davis Ill., says a press dispatch from Cincinnati, where the young bell boy. capitalist has been: working as “captain’’ of the Sinton Hotel “bell hops.”’ The Illinois Hetel was bought for $12,- 000, young Hyde told. an interviewer, of which price he paid $5000 in cash. He has left Cincihnati ‘to “take charge of his new businéss venture. “Pete always was after the money,” said Otto E. Sonnenberg, room clerk at the Jefferson Hotel Monday, ‘“‘and he usually got it. I’m satisfied that he had as much as $5000 to put into any venture he wanted to go into. And I know he had something in mind, for he wrote me two or three weeks ago that he had a plan underway but that he wasn't quite ready to talk about it. He said he wanted to take me in with him when he was ready. “He was a saving kid always. He came here from Yonkers, N. Y., shortly before the Fair and worked, as a bell boy throughout the Fair. Then he got to be cashier. Several boys saved a lot of money during the Fair. “Tim Murray saved. $2000. He went east and is now either at the Waldorf- Astoria or the Lakewood Howse at Lakewood, N. J. Manley Wright, who Was a page boy during the Fair, saved a big bunch of money, too, I don’t know just how much.” Sonneberg and Hyde were associates in one unsuccessful’ business venture. That was at Barstow, Tex., where they started a hotel some time after the Fair. “Pete got married while we were down there,” says Sonnenberg. ‘His wife was a St. Louis girl who had moved to El Paso. When he got married I sold out my share in the hotel—it wasn’t a mon- ey maker—and came back to 8t. Louis. He hung on till the panic and then the bank he bad all his savings in. tailed. “I think the bank gave him’ a piece of land instead of the money he had on deposit and I guess he's sold that land and the hotel. He went to Maine, I know, and werked a while, and then te Cincinnati. He always was ambitious to own his own hotel.”’ Gi - Capt. Hains’ Trial April 19. Junction,

WASHINGTON. After the adoption of the old rules had been prevented, Minority Leader Clark offered a resolution providing for a committee of 15 to amend the rules, the present rules with modifications to be used pending the committee’s re- vision. This was voted down and then the House; began a length ydebate on plans to’ amend the rules submitteq@ by Fitzgerald (Dem.) of New York. |.

Can- non of Illinois for Speaker and Mr. Cuvton (Alabama) presented the name of Champ Clark of Missouri, both under instructions of their respective caucuses. As the names of Messrs. Cannon and Clark were put in nomination their re- spective partisans gave way to applause. The roll was then called. Mr. Cary (Wisconsin), one of the in- Clerk McDowell proceeded to an- nounce the vote when objection was made by Mr. Clayton (Alabama) who made the point that the result should be based on the report of. the tellers and not the tally clerks. In conse- quence there was a short delay. Finally the tellers reported as follows: Cannon, 204; Clark, 166; Esch, 1; Nor- ris, 2; Cooper, 8; Hepburn, 1. Mr. Can. non was declared elected and Messrs. Clark (Missouri), Campbell (Kansas), and Bartlett (Georgia), were appointed a committee to escort the speaker into the chamber. Ciark Escorts Cannon. Soon afterward the committee, with Mr. Clark and the Speaker arm in arm, appeared at the center door and pro- ceeded slowly down the aisle to the ros- trurn, where the Speaker took his ac- customed place, the Republicans al) the while cheering. In introducing the Speaker, Mr. Clark said: “I present the second man in the his- tory of the United States that has been elected Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives four consecutive times—the ‘Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois.” The Speaker bowing his acknowledg- ments, addressed the House as follows: The election to the high office of Speaker, which I now have for the fourth time by virtue of your con- fidence and judgment, is a compli- ment, the honor of which I do not underestimate and of- which { am not lacking In personal We have before us & most ant and difficult session of Con- gress.

See editors of ’all the Palermo newspapers received direct instructions from Mafia executives that they must not criticise the American ietective’s death, and above all must refrain from publishing any names of suspects or hints at sus- pects’ indentities. The Palermo yolice have made in- numerable arrests. The most important prisoners appear to be two young Si- cilians Whom Petrosino shadowed from New York. When the detective re- ported to the American Consulate in Palermo upon his arrival there he said: “T heard a Sicilian who had just come from New York say to a group é@¢f friends today: “There’s Joe Petrosino, the New York detective who boasted that he broke up the Mafia over there.’ In the group were the two men I shadowed.”’ He gave the Consulate their names, it is said, and thus the police were able to arrest them. The police have been stirred up. bv orders from Rome, fol- lowing important cablegrams sent to the Minister of Police by the Italian Embassy at Washington. FOUR SUSPECTS ARRESTED BY THE NEW YORK POLICE NEW YORK, March 15.—Ir a raid attended by sensational circumstances

in the local investigation of the assassi- nation of Lieut. Joseph’ Petrosino, four prisoners were captured by Brooklyn detectives. They were hurried to the Adams Street Police Station, where this charge was recorded against them: “Accused of having knowledge of the recent assassination of a detective of world-wide repute.” One of the prisoners, who made a des- perate struggle to escape, is believed by the police to be a Black Hand leader notorious in this country and until re- cently commander of a gang having its headquarters in Chicago. LOCAL ITALIAN POLICEMEN CONFER WITH CHIEF SMITH Sergeant Anton Andreveno and Pa- trelman Anton Tomasso, the two Ital- ian members of the Police Department, conferred with Chief of Detectives Smith Monday morning behind closed doors. It was rumered about Police Headquarters that the Nation-wide movement to exterminate the “Black Hand” society, following the assassina- tion in Sicily of Petrosino, the New ‘York “Black Hand’’ detective, was to be participated in by the local force. After the conference neither Chief Smith nor the two uniformed officers would discuss the purpose of the meet- ing. Acting Chief Gillaspy stated the efficers had been summoned to Police Headquarters for an interview with the detective chief. Prominent Italians in St. Louis have received threatening letters demanding money from local ageuts of the society. A few months ago it was a common eccurrence for some wealthy Italian merchant to receive one ef these mis- sives signed with skulls and cross- bones.’ Tomasso was assigned to the work of running down the secret black. mailers. He made one arrest, but the victim refused, either through fear or for some other reason, to prosecute. _ For weeks Tomasso and Lieut. McCor- mack of the Carr Street District, were on the trail of an Italian supposed to be the leader of the local band, but he left the city and the work was later aban- doned. .

Schuettler. “He lived at Marion, Ill., ana I have an un- served warrant, charging exto him now. He le / op ten

(LEWIS GULTY F ASSLT WIT DEADLY WEAPON TACOMA, Wash., March 15.—Joshua Klein; mystic and occultist, was found guilty of an assault with a deadly wea- pon against Miss Dora Culberson, and today awaits sentence, possibly to two years’ imprisonment, in the Superior Court. Klein will be deported immedi- ately upon his release from prison, when his sentence has expired. Alexander 8. Fulton, United States Immigration In- spector, declared he would have taken steps to have Klein sent from the coun- try on grounds of insanity if he had not been convicted of crime. Klein was little affected when the ver- dict was read after the jury had delib- erated 10 hours. Appargntly he realized he had ruined his chances of acquittal by his strange conduct in court Satur- day when, with blazing eyes and livid features, he drew himself to the full height of his 7 feet and entered upon a harangue which the Judge, .court at- taches and even his own attorney were unable to interrupt. The mother of Miss Dora Sauvageot, the girl who is said to be living under the Austrian Svengali’s influence in his chateau in Switzerland with Miss Rosa Karaseck, another victim of the mystic’s hypnotism, was delighted with the jury’s finding. ‘‘When that man is safe in prison I will go to Switzerland and overcome his influence over my daughter,”’ woman declared. ‘I think his power over her will wane when he is behind stone -walls and iron bars, but if it does not I will wait until he is deported and then bring every effort at my com- mand to bear upon him and he will be compelled to release Dora from the bonds of his magnetism.” Relatives of the girls held in the Swiss chalet are among the wealthiest people in Tacoma. Klein was charged with attacking Miss Culberson, who is a cousin of Dora Sauvageot, with a poniard when the young woman warned one of Klein’s in- tended victims. Miss Culberson recited the story of her cousin’s infatuation to the woman who was learning to leve the occultist, and Klein, becoming en- raged, attacked her. Klein met Miss Sauvageot and Miss Kareseck in Vienna, where the young women went to study music a year ago. He propounded to thém the mys- teries of a cult original with him and afier he had spent much of his time with them, the Birls went with him to his villa in Switzerland.

WORLD PLEADS NOT GUILTY IN LIBEL ACTION -

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, March 15.—The Press Publishing Co., publishers of the New York World, through its counsel, De- lancey Nicoll, pleaded not guilty before Judge Holt in the Federal Court today to the charge of criminal libek in West Point and the New York Postoffice in the Panama Canal case. Counsel for Caleb VanHamm, an editor of The World, also entered a plea of not guilty to a similar charge in be- half of Mr. Van Hamm. Counsel was granted one: week to prepare a special pleading as to the jurisdiction of the court. Mr. Van Hamm was paroled in his. attorney's custody. No question of jurisdiction was raised by counsel for the Press Publishing Co., but Mr. Untermyer, for Mr. Van Hamm, said he wished leave to withdraw the plea of not guilty for his client and argue apart from the regular plea as to jurisdiction. He cited as precedent for such action the decision of Judge Hum- phrey in the beef company cases, when he allowed the special plea of immunity to be argued before the regular plea of not guilty. The Court held that the special plea must be argued within a week. Mr. Untermyer said that the question he wished to bring up in the interest of Mr. Van Hamm was as to just where the publication of the alleged libel took place. “The indictments against the two de- fendants. were found recently by the Federal Grand Jury here after lengthy investigation of charges of lfbel on their part in connection with articles on the Panama Canal purchase. It was alleged that, among others, President Taft, Charles P. Taft, the President’s brother, ex-President Roosevelt and Douglas Robinson had been libeled in articles published last October and circulated on Government reservation, at West Point and in the Federal Buil@ing here.

Pandemonium broke out among the Democrats and “‘insurgents.’’ Their dem- onstration exceeded by far that of the regular Republicans when the previous question was ordered. It wns some-time before order was restored. For the first time Mrs. Taft occupied a seat in the executive gallery. She was accompanied by Capt. Archibald Butt, one of the~-military aides to the President, and two other ladies.

CONFESSES AND. HUSBAND'S SHOT Despoiler of Texas Home Asks Slayer to Level Gun at His Heart.

FORT WORTH, Tex., March 1.— red, Morris, 24 years old, who forced a written confession from Otto H. Meyer, who had despoiled his home, and then shot him to death, is in jail today rely- ing solely on the statement Meyer signed before his death for an acquittal on the charge of murder. Morris has made a full detaiiment of his deed to the po- lice, describing how Meyer bared his breast and, with arms. spread out, begged the man who was about to kill him to shoot straight and strike the heart. Morris waived preliminary examina- tion this mérning before Judge Bartton and says he will be able to furnish $10,000 bond as required. Meyer was two years Morris’ senior. While employed as a musician and singer in a theater at Denton, the home of the Morris family, he became ac- quainted with Mrs. Morris, the mother of a 2-year-old boy. The paper bearing. Meyer’s alleged confession of improper conduct with Mrs. Morris is headed with the words: ‘‘Fred knows all about our relations,’”’ and is signed by the young wife herself. Morris’ confession of the killing to the police is that he demanded a writ- ten statement from Meyer at the point of a revolver in the Worth Hotel room. Says He Shot te Kill, “When he signed his name I fired and I meant to shoot him through the heart,’’ he is quoted as saying when ar- rested at the scene of the tragedy. The text of Meyer’s purported confes- sion is that during the absence of Mor- ris on business trips for a cotton firm he won the confidence of Mrs. Morris. ‘“T loved the baby and was kind to its mother,’’ are the words in the »tate- ment. “This confession is given of my own free will, and for all, I ask God’s forgiveness.’’ These are the last writ- ten or uttered words by Meyer before his death, according to Morris. Morris says he met Meyer first Friday evening in Fort Worth, although it was partly by an appointment arranged in a letter of Mrs. Morris to Meyer asking Meyer to meet her husband March 14 and con- sider a theatrical project at Weather- ford. The idea of their engaging a single room was not discussed until the two men registered at the hotel Saturday evening, 20 minutes before the killing. Morris is a tall, slender, fair-complex- ioned young man of refined appearance. For three years he has been a member of the Denton (Tex.) Athletic Team, amateur baseball champions,

Mrs. Roethmeyer Wanted Chris to Go to Church, ‘but He Would Not. Because he went to call on a girl when his mother wanted him to go to church, Chris, Reethmeyer, 17 years old, was followed to the home of the young wom- an by his mother and a policeman, and Was arrested there. Miss Edna Goebel, at whose home, 2108 Blair avenue, Roethmeycr: was ar- rested, was in the Dayton Street Police Court Monday to testify for him. She Was not called on, for Judge Pollard dismissed the case as soon as he had heard the mother’s story. “It's very strange you should have your son arrested for going to call on a nice young lady like that,’’ remarked the Judge to Mrs. Roethmeyer. Patrolman J. Hughes, who made the arrest, explained that Mrs. Roeth- meyer had told him her son had cre- . ated a disturbance. She was asked by Judge Pollard whether he had used any violence or bad language, and Said he had not. Must Stay Home or Go To Church. “I-just told him he must either Stay at home or go to church,” she testified, “and when he would not do either, 1 had him arrested.” Edna Goebel said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, after the case was dis- missed, that she had been acquainted with young Roethmeyer since last Christmas. “We met at a party,” she _ said, “and when he asked if he might call, I told him to ask my father and mother. They consented, and he has been coming to see me ever since. I think the reason his mother did not like to have hjm calling on me is that my people are Christian Scient- ists.” Edna is a blonde with blue eyes and clear complexion.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, Outlook, and one of the gregational preachers of the country, gave his conception of “The Ideal Woman’ in a sermon at the Centra! Congregational Church, Brooklyn, last night, he confined himself to the home- lier ideas and figures of speech. Not once did he use the word ‘“‘cul- ture’ in his summary of ‘seven essen- tials." No mention is to be found of ‘race suicide.’’ And there is no refer- ence to feminine pulchritude, savé in- ferentially in the remark,that the ‘ideal woman has the resy cheek which comes from exercise and health, and not the cheek tinted with powder and cosmetics. It. was a fashionable audience that faced the eminent sociologist. Women were there whose feet ‘were pinched by tight shoes. The preacher could see cheeks whose warm tints were palpably artificial. He addressed many women who not only are dictated to in matters of style by “men in Paris,’’ but who 15.—When the editor of the leading Con- pride themselves on the faithfulness with which they follow that dictation. a of’ Seven Rules for the Ideal Woman ISCARD all shoes the size ble. of which makes’ walk- ing well-nigh impossi- 9 She must not consider her hands when it comes to a ques- tion of work. 3.

BROWN A Lawyer Accused of Counter- feiting Relieved by Acquit- tal He Knew Was Coming. DANVILLE, Ii., 16.—As had been rumored since the Federal jury re- turned a sealed verdict last Friday even- ing in the case against Attorney Charles E. Brown for counterfeiting, the verdict, when opened in the United States Court this morning, proved to be for acquittal. Although it is known that Brown had March previously shaken hands with a number of the jurors and thanked them, he breathed a deep sigh of relief when Judge Wright read the verdict. The jury. had been discharged and was not in the courtroom at the time. Brown's wife was not with him, but immediately after the verdict he has- tened to a telephone and informed her that everything was as they had hoped. Brown, who has maintained since his arrest for counterfeiting that he had planned only to go in the medal manufaciuring business, declares he will continue in that business. said Dr. Abbott, ‘“‘is to play bridge whist morning. noon and night. Her idea of modern life is to be supported by some- one else.” Then the doctor held up his 1¢deal wom- an in contrast to her sister with these ‘modern ideas.’’ “The ideal woman,’’ said he, ‘does not look upon work as unwoman:y. And she believes that what concerns her hus- band concerns her, too. Suppose the ideal woman’s family finds fault with the food she serves. She goes to work at once to rectify the trouble, if neces- sary, by providing ,altogether different food.”’ Then the doctor took a shot at the divorce problem, thus: ‘‘Woman was meant to be man’s com- panion,”’ he said, ‘“‘and if that idea were carried out properly there would be no affinities:”’ Dr. Abbott is distinguished in three fields, as an editor, ag a clergyman and as a sociologist. It was he who ob- tained for the Outlook the services of former President Roosevelt as a member of the editorial staff. To Be Successful Look successful—wear a Diamond.

GET CLEAN SHA Arrested Man Shows Commis- sion to Sell Half. Million * Acres of Land. oo Empowered as a real estate broker to negotiate the sale of land aggregating a half million acres, William A. Morgan, 40 years old, was‘arrested Sunday night charged with begging on the street. After he had asked a man for 10 cents the man held him until a policeman put in an appearance and then turned him over to the officer. . “I wasn’t cadging for something to drink,’’ said Morgan apologetically. ‘I’m not a drinking man and I don’t have t6 beg for food. I can get plenty of thar from the cooks I know. 1 wanted to get my iaundry.”’ He threw back his shabby coat and displayed an undershirt. “I didnj3t want to go around looking like a tramp,” he continued, “arid my only shirt and collar are in the laun- ay.” Despite his assertion that he can get all the food he wants, Morgan devoured the crust of bread and hunk of bologna furnished him by ‘the police Monday morning with apparent relish. “I might call myself a St. Louisan,’’ he said. ‘“‘Years ago I worked for the Evans & Howard Brick Co. here.

From the street the body was seen hanging in the alley by persons passing On their way to early mass. At the same time the wind, swaying the body as it hung, caused its toes to tap gent- ly on the window pane of the room where William Jackman slept. The sound awakened him and he looked out and saw the body. He screamed, and thé landlady, Mrs. Mary Sprague, ran in. When she saw the body hang- ing by its neck she fainted. Roomers at the house say that Beller Was an anarchist and that he told that he came from Germany te this country just before the last presidential cam- paign, believing that Socialism ‘ would sweep this country, that there would be a redistribution of all wealth and that he would get his share.

BLANKS FOR ANSWERS Are You Porch Climber, Night Rider, Psalm Singer? Among - . Things Asked. The days of the candidates are full of trouble.

For instance, the West End Business} Men's League, composed of numerous influential citizens and voters, de- mands to know whether the canii- ' @ates are in favor of woman suffrage. * The League declares it is in favor ' 6f'allowing women te vote, along with the initiative, referendum, recall and scores of other reforms. There is the intimation in the interrogations that unless the candidates look at the ques- tions. through the.Same glasses as the voters of the West End Club, they will be scratched on election day. Ask About Their Families. The Municipal Voters’ League start- ed the flood of question lists with one containing 17 interrogatories, and. a blank space for the names of six ref- erences. This list asks candidates for date and place of birth; educational institutions attended, whether they are married or single, and if married what family the candidate has. Some of the candidates believe this is an effort to find out, whether they are followers of Theodore Roosevelt in the matter of perpetuatiqn ‘of the race, “ The German-American Alliance; Se is also investigating the candiddtes, has not yet fired its broadside of questions.

IS $ “GREAT AND 6000 MAN” MAYOR ROLLA WELLS. Dr. Williamson Tells Congrega- tion Executive Is Unjustly Criticised. HAT Mayor Rolla Wells “is a 1 great and noble man," was declared by the Rev. William J.-Williamson in his Sunday morn- ing sermon at the Third Baptist Church, , “We have in our city,” said Dr. Williamson, “as great a man as ever sat in the Mayor's chair in St. Louis—a man whose family has slways been honored by the city. He is a man of wealth and culture, and, did he choose, he could remain far away from any anxious care. No man has ever seriously ques- tioned his high honor and integ- rity, and yet it is his lot to be al- most daily unjustly criticised. He has patiently borne all without re- sentment. “When a task of governing a great city such as this is so thank- less, ts it any wonder that the members of the Republican City Committee besought a dozen prom- inent men to go on the ticket as Mayor? “Kipling’s great poem, "The White Man’s Burden,’ character- izes all men and women who ful- fill the noblest part in life as those who bear criticism in silence and meet, unjust accusations with a prayer for blessing in the spirit of | Christ.”’ WELLS IS STRONG SUPPORTER “OF WOERNER FOR MAYORALTY City Executive Believes Democratic Nominee Is Right Man to Succeed Him. Mayor Wells, in an ‘interview given Monday to a@ , Post-Dispatch _ reporter, gave a personal indorsement of the strongest-character to four Democratic nominees for city office—Woerner for Mayor, Piayer for Comptroller, Travil- la for President of the Board of Public Improvements and tsagerman for Col- lector, The Mayor said he considered the oth- er Democratic nominees excellent men, but that he singled out the four for es- pecial commendation because of his thorough acquaintance with them. All have served the city under Mayor Wells, Player and Hagerman 4n the positions tou which they seek re-election, Woerner and Travilla in appointive posts. “T don’t see how the people of St. Louis can improve on these men,” said- the Mayor of the four candidates. ““Weerner is a man of poise, who knows the municipals laws, knows the city’s needs and has ability and integ- rity which will enable him to give St. Louis an excellent administration.” ae Each of the chief or- of the body is a in the Chain of Life.

FEMININE HEARTS FLUTTER AT CENTURY MILLINERY DISPLAY Very Latest Creations From Paris Are Just Utterly Utter, That’s All, If any woman in St. Louis is in doubt as to what are the very proper styles in millinery this spring she may set her

windows of the Century Millinery Co., 615 North Broadway. In there is a col- lection of hats creat.d in Paris, the fashion center of the world, and just arrived. Two ‘of these hats are from the Pa- risian art shop of Esther Mayer, and another is frem the wonderfully deft and artistic fingers of Madame Geor- gette. These hats, however, are not for the purse of the ordinary woman. They cost from $75 to $100. . But the Century store makes a spe- elalty of hats at popular prices that are exact imitations of these Parisian cre&- tions and that are really so good in themselves that only an expert milliner herself could detect the difference. Of these hats at popular prices the Cen- tury has a great display on the seco floor, , They include all the very newest shapes and styles and shades. In col- ors there are the old rose, the wistaria about which ail women are reving this ‘ahd many different shades of | old army blue and fawn color.

The magnet that drew all of these and that brought the thousands that came all throughout the day was the stock of the Werner Bros. Mercantile Co!, 708 Olive street, which was bought at public auction last week by “Nu- gents’’ and was placed on sale Monday. ‘Every article of men’s and boys’ cloth- ing and furnishing goods that was in the Werner store is on sale at “Nugents”’ and at exactly half price. This-is one of the sales where “half price’ is a reality. On the tags are plainly marked the Werner figures and beneath them the “Nugent” figures. There are Earl & Wilson collors which sold at 25 cents and which are now half of that, and great piles of collars at 5 cents, and walking canes and um- brellas at half the original price. The sale will continue all this week,

DOCTOR TELLS. HOFEMANN NOT 10 QUIT BOARD Indorsed for His Place, Physi- sian Says Freeholder Should Stick.

—— POINTS TO DISCORD

Declares Members of Profes- sion Appear Divided and Deserve Odium.

Dr. John C. Merfit, indorsed by the St. Louis Medical Socfety for member- ship on the Board of Freeholders, has written a letter to August H. Hoff- mann, who offered to resign his posi- tion on the bi-partisan freeholders’ ticket in order that a physician might be put in his place. Dr. Morfit, in his: letter, advises Mr. Hoffmann not to resign, “without a full knowledge of all the facts.”” The facts, as he states them, include the medical and political obstacles which have arisen to the carrying out of Mr. Hoff- Mann's purpose. The letter, in part, is as follows: Since the nominees for the Board of Freeholders were selected, there has sgbeen considerable: resentment among physicians because no..one of their number was chosen by the po- litical committees: This feeling has - been reflected in the press, and The - Post-Dispatch particularly has, with laudable motives, taken up the mat- ter, which resulted in the very gen- erous offer en your part to. resign -and make way for a medical repre- sentative. The profession has shown its appreciation of this generous at- titude taken by you. ad ; The medical and dental Scethentine have indorsed several men whom they deem fit to represent the medi- cal interests of the people and there has been little real difference of opinion in the professional circles on this matter. However, it is a. fact of common knowledge that a few physicians have brought to bear such strong political influence as to make it appear that the profes- sion is discordant and undecided, if not indifferent. As long as these conditions endure it is but natural, and probably just, that the profes- sion should suffer that odium, which the questionable action of some of its members must necessarily in- As I am one of the several urged and indorsed to succeed you should you resign, I would not have you take this step without full knowledge of the facts. I want to express to you my firm conviction that there is no reason why you should not re- consider your determination and re- fuse to resign. Mr. Hoffmann has stated in recent in- terviews that he will not resign unless be carried out in a manner satisfactory to the medical, profession and accepta- | ble to the political interests which have framed the freeholders’ ticket. STYLES IN MILLINERY THIS YEAR ARE UNUSUALLY VARIED Display at Sonnenfeld’s Opening Runs From Extremes to Con- servative Models. Women who have been led to believe that to be’in perfect ‘style this season they must wear hats with crowns eight inehes high and brims running straight down to the shoulders, will find on in- vestigation that styles much less ex- treme and even more modest than pre- vailed last season are shown in mil- linery establishments. At the opening at Sonnenfeld’s Mon- day, the many visitors saw hats of ev- ery style which will be worn this sea- son. They varied all the way from the’ stevepipe hat with very little trimming: to broad-brimmed hats covered with ev- ery conceivable kind of foliage and fruits. The stovepipe, one of the mest ex- treme styles, is patterned very closely, after the dress hat which has been’ for sO many years the exclusive right of man to wear. Its difference lies in the fact that the brim is turned down and: is slightly wider, and that velvet ripb- ' bons and flowers are permitted on it. There are also shown the twentieth century hats, with extreme high crowns: and long brims reaching down almost | to the shoulders on the sides and back. | The wdman who wears a low ping

trimmed as in former years with foll- age, flowers and quills, will be in style, | however. The leading styles shown in suits and. gowns this season are in ashes of roses. light tan and reseda. The Zaiss model in suits is of the latest, The coat is cut on lines entirely new, there being no under-seam. Waists are unusually dainty this sea- son.

One SHAKE AND LIZARD, THEN EATS EM UP Iguana Sivites Into Two Fighting Forces After Start- ing Trouble.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March. 16.—The King Cobra at the Bronx Zoo is 11 feet long, and the whole 11 feet were fighting yes- terday. His opponents were a water snake and an iguana, or giant lizard. All three reptiles had been living in peace together all winter in their glass compartment, and it was supposed they were real good friends, but a -digpute arose yesterday between the cobra and the iguana and in a sudden fit of fool- ish rage the iguana went fer the cobra and bit him. Instantly the cobra. spread his hood rand gave battle, but the iguana took an unfair advantage of him then and there by disjointing himself and icoming apart. The big lizard gave himself a shake, and lo: there were two of him— the iguana proper and the iguana’s tail, both much alive and active. Then the water snake took a hand and went for the cobra, too, but the cobra gave him just one bite and the snake went into a Gorner, curled up and died. The tailless teifins Kept right at the cobra, but the latter did not seem to care much. He had espjed the tall ca- vorting around the cage, and it inter- ested him so much that he made a leap for it, caught it and calmly swallowed it. That gave him a taste for meat, so he next caught the iguana and swallowé@™him after his tail. Then the water Snake was taken for dessert, and that ended the fight.

PLAN TO REHABILITATE PARTY Meeting of State Body Called for Tuesday at Southern Hotel. A meeting of the Democratic State Committee will be held at the Southern Hotel Tuesday at 1 p. m. to eonsider plans to rehabilitate the party in Mis- souril. A special committee, ef which A. 8S. Harty of Bloomfield, secretary of the State Committee, is chairman, was appointed some time ago to prepate a plan for the reorganization of the par- ty. Mr. Harty has notified the members of the State Committee that his sub- committee will be ready to report q ues- day. Chairman Thomas L. Rubey of the State Committee says he does not now know what the plan contemplates.

Searritt-Comstoeck Furniture Co.'s Clearing Sale Now in Progress. A. Lincoln said in effect, you may fool people some times, but not every timegl The reliable house of today should fool people none of the time. People who buy furniture have found that the ad- vertiser who backs up his newspaper representation is the one te always place their business with. The Scarritt-Comstock Furniture Co. is now ¢onducting a clearance sale, in which everything in their great estab- lishment is included. Marks in plain figures are placed on nearly 10,000 dif- ferent piec¢gs of goods, showing genu- ine reductions up to 50 per cent. This annual sale, it is said, the people of St. Louis have found to be a genu- ine reduction sale for the express pur- pose of relieving their stock of discon- tinued patterns and odd pieces. * It has been a feature for many years and is liberally patronized by the rich and the poor, for in this sale time terms are arranged for, if so desired. The com- plete furniture for a-number of the new homes building has been bought in: ad- vance—the present saving being many times more than the cost of caring for it until the completion of the homes.

It is very plain that the exoneration of Chief of. Detectives Smith was a preconcerted affair, eut and dried, The whitewash was prepared and was promptly laid on. The Board of Police Com- missioners took Smith’s statement and the re- ports of the officers who accompanied him. An affidavit of a newspaper reporter who witnessed the arrest of Miss Hallen was also read. The rule of common sense, reason and justice, to “hear the other side,” was disregarded and/ - . Smith has the sanction of the Board for his f acts. a is inconceivable that anybody will have the impudence to say that these acts were not un- _Jawful and an outrageous violation of rights - guaranteed to every citizen. Smith forced his way fto the house and made the arrest. without a warrant. That is the essence of the complaint And Smith does not deny it. The Constitution of Missouri provides that “the people shall be secure in their persons, pa- pers, homes and effects from unreasonable _pearches and seizures, and no warrant to search any place or seize any person or thing shall is- sue without describing the place to be searched } ‘or the person to be seized as nearly as may be, iid ge Pangea seca he _ Aceording to the estimate of the nor without probable cause supported by oath cr affirmation reduced to writing.” If the Chief of Detectives knew any probable cause why did he not obtain a warrant?

Hadley will not} n let it drop without a searching inquiry, which should disclose all the facts. = = cairn ate company the new city directory gives St. Louis a population of 761,000, an increase of 10,000 over last year’s estimate.

ADVERTISING A CITY. ’ Markham’s strictures on the newspapers failure to “boost’’ St. Louis raises the ques- tion of the best boosting methods, -}Generally spéaking municipal advertising is &) good thing if it advertises the merits of the eity and does not ostentatiously ‘ignore condi- s which ought to be corrected. But the no- tion that citizens and newspapers should join in @ blatant clorus of unbridled praise is essential!y provincial and no man who has the faintest idea of real municipal greatness will add his voiced td it. -iIn every city there are public conditions—no- , litical and social—which are elements of weak- The will and intelligence of citizens and Bi Wspapers should be directed to the improve- ent and if possible the extin ‘of such con- * ditions.

In an article published on the editorial. okre. of the Sunday Post-Dispatch Judge Rombaur formerly’.of the Court of Appeals, discussing relieve the docket of the Supreme Court oppoan ed the creation of an additional Court ,of “Ap-} peals. He reviewed the three former efforts to! create a third appellate court all g which were blocked by gubernatorial vetoes sand showed how unnecesfary such a court is and : how little it would @ontribute to the énd in view, the Supreme Court’s relief. Considering the effitient work of the Supreme Court Commission of 1883 Judge Rombauer concludes that a similiar commission at this time would do the work required in the S1- preme Court. He thinks no other legislation needful or desirable. The argument is clear, comprehensive and convincing. We commend it to the Legislature as good counsel. i, i Since tariff cutting operations are regarded as dangerous to the patient, let us hope the impend- ing one wilt’ be thorough. eos eo A SIMPLIFIED ISSUE. Reduced as nearly as possible to its lowest terms after all legal proceedings and court de- cisions, the issue between the laws of Missouri and the Standard Oil system is now simpeiec so that it can be understood at once. The proceedings against two subsidiary com- panies, aliases of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, were not directed as an issue against that company. Their ouster from the State was in so much a veto of its operation in Missouri under the names of these two subsidiary corporations, the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana and the Repub- lic Oil Co. As an ouster, it is now suspended sub- ject to the final potion of the United States Su- preme Court. The Waters-Pierce Oil Co., after paying its fine, remains in the State under suspension of court judgment for past violation of the Missouri law against monopoly combination. Whether the local managers of the company wish it or not, it is‘ac- mitted that a majority of its stock is controlled by the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, as it has been, since it was acquired as part of the general monopoly plan ‘of driving independent corpora- tions out of the oil business in Missouri. Although it hag not succeeded in its plan for securing a trustee representing the Missouri @tate Government as,a member of its trust system, ‘he Standard Oil Co. of New. Jersey has been subjected only to a fuller definition of the laws on the secret evasion of open violation of which its monopoly system depends. The parent monopoly has not been made accountable to law, and there has been no apparent attempt to reach it. == The bonding of police officers with a view to responsibility in civil action may become ecessary. But, meanwhile, a policeman who as- saults a citizen—man, woman or child—or breaks into a house without a warrant may be held criminally. It is a matter for the Circuit Attorney. = = * wr HUMAN NATURE “ON PROBATION.” The report of the probation officer of the St. Louis Juvenile Court has already received the consideration it deserves in one highly important respect. When 38 children out of 152 paroled on good behavior violate their parole, it is an im- portant fact that this is 25 per cent’ of the total. It shows the great difficulties of perfecting human nature against what have been calléd the “worst difficulties of a city environment.” After the difficulties have been Ber § it is only necessary to turn the percentage around so that the comparison will face forward, to make an important discovery. This is, that in spite of what are supposed to be the worst difficulties of “city environment,” the average for the credit of human nature stands 76 out of the. possible 100, when the possible 100 is made up of those who have had the greatest disadvantages and the fewest advantages. . In his last. and most famous work, his “Sketch of the Progress of the Human Mind,” Condorcet predicted its continuous progress in spite of the worst. He did not then have such a favorable showing as this on which to base his prediction. ber, while he himself was waiting to be guillo- tined. Taking fully into consideration the fact that his fellow man was about to decapitate him for doing his best, he insisted that humanity ts fit to be trusted, that it ought to be trusted and that as it ig more fully trusted, there will be a decreasing percentage of the untrustworthy. As far as the St. Louis statistics go in science, they show that this wag a scientific view of progress. _—— ~~ » i, ae Champion, Pugilist Johnson is to take his white wife to Texas in defiance of the law that forbids such matrimonial alliances.

What should «the dibens 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. A Trio Indorsed. To the Editor of the Post- -Dispatch. If the people of St. Louis. want a clean, honest administration and a model city, independent voters should vote for such men as James Hagerman Jr., Collector; James Y.. Player, Comptroller, and James Travilla, men who have been ‘in office for the last four years, and have a record of giving the city a clean and honest adiminstration and their records are open to the public for inspection. INDEPENDENT VOTER. A Call for Independents. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I was .present at the real estate banquet held at the Columbian Club last ev ening and had the op- portunity of hearing and seeing both of the candi- dates for Mayor. Each of the morning papers had it that their favorite candidate was ‘‘cheered to an echo.”” The facts in the case are that neither of the candidates received more applause than cdmmon de- ceacy would require. They were forbidden to talk “shop” and their remarks were very weak, to say the least. It certainly seems that there is an excep- tional opportunity for the City, party or some other party to put up_up a good, strong man of affairs and win in a walk. The next four years will be a critical time for the-City of St. Louis and it certain- ly seems expedient that better timber be offered the voters than that submitted in the persons of Fred- rick H. Kreismann or William F. Woerner. BURTON McGINNIS. Boss Candidates Unsafe. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. Regarding different candidates, I believe there is not One candidate on the Republican ticket that, if elected, will give satisfaction to honest people of St. Louis, for the simple reason that each and every man on that ticket was put there by Howe, the great political boss, and if they had not promised and plédged themselves to this one-man power they would never have got on the ticket. I, for one, as a stanch Republican, am going to put both tickets together and select what I consider the best men for our city, not for one great silk stocking like Howe. All voters ought. to do likewise to get results. A. HOEHNER. Educational Picture Shows. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. People differ in their likes and dislikes. Not all of the public wants “only pretty and funny pic- tures,’’ as ‘Patron’ claims it does. Some of the people have outgrown those things and have reached a stage where they can appreciate an interesting lecture on a current topic or an historical subject when the work is so far above criticism as that recently shown. The writer heard a lecture on “Ancient Rome’’ at a gnoving picture show last week which was superior to some he has heard at some of the largest universities of this country. It is an innovation, no doubt, to introduce such sub- jects for popular entertainment, but hasn’t the pen- dulum swung for enough in the opposite direction? There are many who look forward with interest to the return of.the “lecturer and the historian’’ which “Patron” objects to. Would suggest that there are dozens of places showing every variety of “pretty and funny pictures’’ where ‘Patron’’ should have no trouble in finding something’to his liking. J. SMITH. Unitarians and the Gospel. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to your editorial in regard to “preachers of the Gospel,”’ will you allow me to say that while the word Gospel should have the widest interpreta- tion with regard to settled ministers authorized to perform marriages, it is a mistake to suppose that the term indicating the Gospel preached by Jesus Christ is inapplicable t6 Unitarians. Unitarians have never separated from their Christian connection, and both historically and by their teaching are identified with the central teachings of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament. Any discussion which implies that a Unitarian minister does not belong among peachers of the Gospel, in the Christian sense, is misleading and should be cleared of this error. Let me add that if the proposed change in the law would place in the hands of any official the power to de- termine the connection and standing of ministers with reference to their right to solemnize marriage, such change should be vigorously opposed. This right should be limited to ministers Raving charge of churched in the State, and in active service, and no officer should be given powers of judicial deter- mination. That a change in the law is needed is clearly shown by the abuses that have crept in under the present lax ,phraseology. The whole crew of clerical marriage harpies should find their occupa- tion gone. But the change should be made with c4re, lest powers be conferred which would open the door tq grave abuse. JOHN W. DAY. Holding Husband’s Love. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatem » In your yesterday’s Post-Dispatch I read Mnite. Hatton on ‘‘How to Hold the Love Of a Husband.” First, I-Avant to say that I ama man 4 years of age, married at the age of 22; love my wife the same now as I did when we were married, regardless of her having a few wrinkles on aomrace. Second, I absolutely disagree with Mme. Hatton as to deceiv- ing a husband in any sense of the word, he it in regard to the maintainance of beauty, or anything else. There is no man living who will not appre- ciate the sincerity and honesty Of his wife, ana the thought of deceiving her husband should not enter the mind of a true woman. Let any woman con- sider how much less she loved her husband after discovering she had been deceived in some way. And it is the same with a man, and no man with moral habits will ever notice the age on his wife's face. Therefore I want to say, ladies, never de- eeive your husbands and you will find that they will love you more. ‘'. @ EB. HARMES. | Improving Market Street. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

From the New York Tribune. We protest against the possum on special principles. He is a mean and ignoble beast, without a trace of poetry or humor in his make-up, undistin- tinguished by tradition, a parvenu in childish lore. His looks are against him, a most-unhandsome creature, who never overcomes the instinctive prej- udice of the first impression, much less has he ever inspired affection. Who would think of him as gifted with that genial camaraderie so invincibly sug- gested by a bear? What noble deed or attribute is associated with his name? # robber of hen roosts at his boldest, he is chiefly distinguished as the most cowardly dissembler in all the animal world. Out upon him! OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. From the Hartford Courant. Somewhere in this country there is a man—presumably about 40 year# old now, perhaps a little younger or older— who’s going to wake up in the White House the morning of March 5, 1917, President of the United States. The chances are, of course, that he’s al- ready inthe public career. There’s an ,Off chance that his name is at present entirely strange to newspapers and their readers. The one certainty is, that no living person can now pick him out. And he’s in equal ignorance today himself of what the i have decreed for him: SLOW-MOVING HUMAN NATURE. From the Providence Journal. No system of any kind, direct primary or other, will revolutionize human na- ture. The boss will maintain his su- premacy in A) rican politics just so long as the American voters as a whole neglect their duty and leave to the few the responsibilities of all. Whether the instrument be a caucus, a convention, or what not, it may be controlled only by those who use it. And the ordinary voter, even the reformer, generally stays away from every political meeting and not infrequently from the polls as well. THE ROOSEVELT NEWSPAPER. From the Springfield Union. We take it that the kind of news- paper that Brother Roosevelt would like to see more of is the newspaper that is just and fair to all men, that is courageous in its opinions, but does not expect all to agree with it; that has respect for the opinions of others, that makes allowances for the shortcomings of mankind, that prefers to be the bearer of good rather than of evil tid- ings, that has faith in its country and its countrymen and that in mirroring life as it, seek#- constantly to be of some benefit to humanity. eT ALWAYS THE OLD CONFLICT. From the Spectator. Every well-wisher of America will hope that she May produce yet other sons like Lincoln, with his enthusiasm and moderation combined, his tender- ness, and plainness, his gravity and sunniness, his logic and strong common sense, all of which expressed themseives in his eagle-eyed penetration in seeing the simplicity of every issue whén it is stripped of its cacuistry. For it is al- ways the world-old question between right and wrong. ONB DIFFERENCE.

His relatives telegraphed the wunder- taker to make a wreath; the ribbon should be extra wide, with the inseription, ‘‘Rest in Peace’ on both sides, and if there is room, “We Shall Meet in Heaven."’ The under- taker was out of town, and his new assistant handled the job. It was a startling floral piece which turned up at the funeral, 17 was extra wide, and bore the inscription, “Rest in Peace on Both Sides, and if there is Room We Shall Meet in Heaven."*—The Ananias Clubman. ABOUT HUNTING LICENSES. The new Prendergast gare iaw, which has gone to @€ngrossment, marks our nonresident hunting license up to Formerly this license has teen $15. So far as we know, the State has never collected one. A few nonresidents have béeen pursued to the boundary line and shot at from this side, but the expecta- tion that the new game law would pro- duce revenue With which to build a new State capitol has proven a dream. The simple fact is that no hunter has $is—when he goes out. He has just bought a gun, & spair of waders, a water-proof coat, @ shell vest, a pair of double-seated trousers, a iet-down cap, = duck-call and a dozen decoys.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. M ballplayers of the St. Against the lively little Houston club yesterday afternoon, on a sloppy field, the Brownies played baseball for the first time since the day they put Cleve- land out of the pennant te last Octo- ber. The air was,chilly, But the sun was out and it inspired the fellows with a bit of fire that had been lacking for three or four days. They thrashed the local team quite easily, 9 to 4, and the pitchers were ,not required to get up speed to do it. Good clean hitting won the game and a strong defénse broke up the attack of the minor leaguers. Bill Graham twirled the first three innings most admirably. He didn’t per- ands used considerable speed all the time, with an occasional bender over the plate, but never once letting out at top speed: He showed enough in those three innings, however, to assure Manager McAleer that: he will be fit for a lot of the early work in the coming pennant race. Justus Not Fit, Bill was followed by yeung Walter Justus. The latter was in no condition to take exercise, but he was toe game a boy to let on to his boss that any- thing was wrong. Justus had taken quite a severe cold and at the time had a fever. After he had pitched an inning and allowed the home team to count three runs, McAleer learned his physical condition and had him bundle up in extra sweaters and go back to his room for treatment. Bill Bailey flun., the pext two in- nings and held the minors down nicely, but was forced to curve the in one : or two instanres to get out of the hole. ae Rube Waddell had been advertised as - se of the pitchers so McAleer put his ae southpaw on the slab for the ‘ hic?

He calls it the head ball and it is to be usgd only against left-handed hitters. The principal of it ‘4s to throw the first ball straight at the batter's head. _He experimented with it last fall on Cobb and Rossman of the Detroit - Club. and prevented them from getting what is known’ with the players as the toe hold in batting. It simply, puts the batter off his gtrid® and some of the fans will remember its effect against the slugging ters. : Joe Quirk, .the trainer of the team, entered a roller skating race here Sat- , -urday night. It was for two miles and there were 4 in it. “Joe was leading well} - when less than a mile had been covered, put a small boy on whom he had gained a lap,, fell in front of him.

The result was that he was tapped for three or four hits and with the bases full, forced over one more run, but he kept the crowd in good humor with his antics jn the box and every one knew he was playing horse instead of trying to strike them out, as he does when the real season is on. The swat- ting of Hartzell, Stone, Jones, Ferris and Hoffman won the game. Every one of these players has his eye on the ball and the young minor league twirlers were throwing their best brand of] curves and shoots, too. 4 Hartzell and Stone seem ta have struck their best batting gait already, the former more especially, for he is lining the ball out with a fierceness not excelled at any time last season. One of his drives tore up the grass between left and center field.and banged against the clubhouse for three bags. Schweitzer Under Restraint. : Al Schweitzer, the popular little out- fiéider who was arsensation for a time last summer, has not atempted to let out yet. McAleer keeps a tight rein on him every day, because he fears an- other breakdown of that leg that kept him out of the game part of 1908. So far the leg has showed no signs of weak- ness, but the Browns boss will not al- low the bey to put f to the test, preg ferring to have him work up to his4 speed gradually. He is not even permit- ted to run out a hit at full speed, and in the game of Thursday was giveh a ealling by McAleer because he scored from first bese when Jones hit a three bagger to right field. Manager Jeems was coaching on third at the time and ran in the diamond after Al had round- ed second, grabbed hold of him and made him go the rest of the way in on the trot. It happened that a muff of the relay throw prevented his being thrown out. -d him today if he doesn’t arrive in the ing through an open window with his feet in’ the air. Wilbur Smith caught the full nine in- nings yesterday and is about the quick- est man behind the bat ever seen in the big league. He threw out two runners at second, each by ten feet, and not another one tried to steal on him. Bob Wallace is out for work every s day, but will not take active part in the games for a few days yet. He catches fly balls in the outfield and werks out with the pitchers. There is not a thing wrong with him and he doesn’t intend there shall be either. When Williams failed to report Sun- day, Manager McAleer concluded he ust feel the need of more treatment Hot Springs. A report was out that Jimmy had fallen in sume way and in- jured his side.

It is probable that the flyers will also meet in a race at,.the annual] regatta of the St. Louis Power Boat Association. The Minnie C III will be a brand-new boat, with six cylinders working on the two-cycle principle. The boat should develop close to 100-horsepower. The, Independence II will practically be a new boat. The hull will be new and will be high out of the water. Eight new cylinders have been cast especially for the engine and they will be even larger than last year. The hull and engine will, however, both be lighter. Factory experts have been working 4n the engine for some time. Last year the Independence made over 83 miles an hour. It is safe to say that the boat that beats the Independence III this year, if she does not go to the bottom, will have to go at least 35 miles an hour. The engine had 210-horsepower last year. It should develop 225-horge- power this year. In the meanwhile Hugo Lippert is having built for him a new Missouri II which: may spring a surprise on a few local men. What the new 500-horsepower eight-cylinder two-cycle craft that is now practically completed at a local boat, building works is going to do is a ques- tion. It is certain that next year the champion speedeboat of the Mississippi will be in a class with any boat in the world. The Independence of last year cost considerably over $10,000, so that the game is an expensive one. a - YALE MAN MAY Among other weil-khown Eastern and Western footbali men wnom Dr, D.

The employment of oxygen is no novelty. James J. Corbett, among others, used it as far back as 1903, when it en- abled him to endure the sledging pun- ishment, of James J. Jeffries for ten rounds before the inevitable came. Theétime for the complaint against artificial aids in fighting was then when its prospective use was just dawning. As a matter of fact, it is no more to be deplored in the prize ring as ufi- sportsmanlike than is the ammonia bot- tle, collodion or other accessories which enable a harassed pug to quickly re- cover from punishment. To the Uttermost Gasp. HE evil in the use of oxy- 7 gen lies in the fact that’ it enables the fighter to get the last ounce of energy out of his. sys- tem in an extreme test, thereby. leaving him utterly exhausted and a prey to afflictions of the heart. It. enables the human frame when pressed to its ut- most of endurance to endureyet a lit- tle farther; and that means the breaking strain. It is the \employment of this and other means of stimulation in Mara- thon races that causes some of the worst eyils.of that sport and résults in the Moitapses that frequently occur. When the human frame cries out Quit!” to ithe. runner, the fighter, the} wrestler or what not, it is indeed time to stop. It knows its limitations better ] than: even its possessor. In the final of the St. Louis soccer season Peltier rapped Peterson on. thé side lines’ and the latter retaliated in the dressing room. There were no seri-. ous casualties. Those False Favorites. NE of the great mysteries of the 0 world is that of the making of ' “faverites” for purposes of sport speculation. This morning we read that Hayes is the betting choice to beat Do- rando in a Marathon event tonight. In view of the fact that Dorando once gave Hayes an unquestioned beating, and further that Hayes has done little since then to put him on the tep notch level, it. is hard to see the reason for such a palpable offense against ‘past performance.”’ . One can underftand fatee favorites in racing, where fields are numerous; but in boxing and two-man events, unless the contestants be equal on. previous performance, it seems no difficult task to name a big percentage of winners in advance of the show. .But San Francisco, for examfit nédteriously wréng on its fight favor “he many strong choices havingi been bowled over there in recent years.

SPEEDING AUTOMOBILISTS ARE ARRAIGNED IN CLAYTON COURT St. Louisans Thought Chasing Con- Stable Was Racing and Let Out Machines. Several St. Louis automobilists were arraigned before Justice A. H. Wer- remeyer in Clayton Monday on charges of exceeding the auto- mobile speed limit in St. Louis Ceoun- ty Sunday. These were the first ar- rests in a campaign just begun by the county authorities against excessive speeding of motor cars. The men arraigned were: Talton Fran- cis, 4421 Maryland avenue; William 8. Drozda, 4139 Magnolia avenue; A. H. Handlan, 3700 Lindell boulevard; E. R. Gamercel, chauffeur for Kenneth Bryan of Kirkwood; F. w. Moore, 4914 Forest avenue, and Edward J. Lornasney. The captures were made by Constable George Bode, who used a new and very fast automobile bought especially for this campaign against speeders. The Constable had several exciting chases along the country roads before he caught some of the men. In several in- stances the speeders thought the chas- ing Constable wag another speeder who was trying to race them and they let their machines out to the utmost speed in trying to beat him. | Sheriff John Grueninger has ordered a new automobile of fast speed and as soon as he gets it he will take a hand in the war against speeders.

Heifers sold up to $5.50, cows at $5.25 and calves topped at $8.25. Stocker receipts were almost too limited to make a market.

The loss compared 1906 contin- ues almost wholly at the East and South— it is quite large at New York, due in part to smaller security trading this year; also at Philadelphia and Pittsburg, reflecting conditions in the iron trade.

t HE second-season engagement of som’s greatly successful musical ‘comedy, ‘““‘The Red Mill," with Mont- gomery and Stone still the stars of the preduction, promises to be fully as noitable-as its first. A big audience at the Olympic last night found the keen- est delight itn the offering. It’s an even choice between Dave Montgomery and Fred Stone as to which contributes more largeiy to the house's enjoyment. With differing methods they obtain similar results, and their team work, especially in the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson sketch, and in the “Good-a-by, John,” organ-grinding dialect act, is excruciatingly funny. The supporting company is of excel- lent quality. Its more prominent mem- bers are Allene Crater, Ethel Johnson, Edward Begley. David L. Don, Nea! McCay, Claude Cooper, Carl Gantvoort, Florence Quinn and Charies Dex, play- ers who lose no opportunity for effect- ive scoring, and the vocal and orches- tral attractiveness of tne offering is admirably maintained. The play’s pic- turesqué setting makes an effective ap- peal to the eye. 4 At the Century Theater this evening Henry Miller gives the premier produc- tion of William Vaughn Moody’s new drama, “The Faith Healer,’’ and the event bids fair to be of uncommon dis- tinction. At the Garrick tonight Harrison Grey Fiske .will present George Arliss in Fratz Molnar’s famous comedy, “The Devil,”’ adapted for the American stage by Alexander Konta and William Trow- bridge Larned, both formerly of St. Louis. Mr. Arliss, an incomparable character actor, has scored a memorable triumph in the tjtle role, in which St. Louisans will now see him for the first time as a star. RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. OPENING AT SCHAPER BROS. BRINGS OUT GREAT CROWDS ~— eee ee Unusual Bargains Offered in Goods That Are New and Strictly Stylish. A treat for those who delight in pretty and stylish wearing apparel and home surroundings is offered at the annual opening of Schaper Bros., which began in all departments of the store Monday. Not only is the opening replete with opportunities to learn the spring fash- ions, it also offers many bargains to shoppers, who were present in large numbers at the opening. In the suit and ladies ready-to-wear } departments the principal interest was evidenced, of course, for it is in those departments that the newest fashions are on display. Handsome gowns and costumes, suits and skirts, dainty waists and millinery distinctively of the new season were tastefully exhibited in profusion and beauty. Suits in all the prevailing shades and fabrics are shown-—-the popular striped prunella cloth, bengaline and _ button- trimmed suits. Among the waists were some in point Venise and other ex- quisite patterns, as well as soft batistes with Maltese lace yokes. The silk pet- ticdats and skirts were centers of in- terest. In the home furnishing department the newest and most attractive lace curtains, portieres, rugs, draperies and articlés of art and ornament are dis- played. In the gas fixture and china departments the entire stock is new and the offerings in art lamps and chande- liers are unusual. Popular-priced luncheons are served in the new cafe on the third floor. SPECIAL GRAND JURY WILL LOOK INTO PITTSBURG GRAFT PITTSBURG, Mercn 15.—Judge L. L. Davis’ today authorized the use of the Mareh grand jury, which was calied in extra session, for “dragnet” pur- poses in connection with the municipa! corruption scandal. : This. opens the way, it is said, for impertant graft developments.
