—- Precautions Are Taken to Pre- _vent Demonstration by the Spectators. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 17.—Judge Hart began his charge to the jury at §:30 this morning in the Cooper-Sharp @rial for the murder of former United Btates Senator E. W. Carmack. The’ Btenographers had worked all night on the document, which numbers #2 type- written pages of about 400 words each. Lawyers say it is the most comprehen- give and clear chargé ever delivered in a Tennessee court and includes in the theories of State and defense a digest ‘of the testimony of every witness who testified on either side. When the Judge began to read, the courtroom was packed to the walls. “The law makes the Judge the witness of the law," remarked Judge Hart, ‘‘so I will now take the witness stand and give my testimony.”’ He left the bench, walked around to the chair which has been the center of attraction for two months. Seeriff Borum had a dozen deputies . scattered through the rooms and in ad- @ition a detail of ten uniformed patrol- . men were stationed around the bar. ' “I do nol anticipate any demonstra- tion,” he said, “but I will run no risk of having one at the eleventh hour.’ _. At 12:30 the jurors declared they were hungry and were taken to luncheon. The jury returned ‘from luncheon at 1:2 p. m. There are no indications that a verdict _will be reached very soon. . Judge Hart. after reading the irdict- ment, said: _ “While the indictment contains but one charge upon its face in contempla- tion of law, it embraces four distinct felonies: Murder in the -first degree, murder in the second degree, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manp- ‘slaughter. Without reference at pres- @ht to the facts of this particular case, I shall now explain to you what in law it takes to constitute each of ‘these - different offenses: “By Section 5348 of the Code, it is pro- ‘vided as follows: — _ | “If any person of sound memory and _ discretion unlawfully kills any reason- : -@ble creature, in being and under the 4 peace of the State, with malice afore- thought, elther express or implied, such

lees | ENGLISHMAN SETS HIS ONLY PAIR OF BOOTS IN HALL AS IN LONDON; THE REST IS OBVIOUS Footgear Found Next Day Under the Safe in the Office, Still Unshined. G. Sutherland Warner, an English manufacturer, who is at the Southern Hotel, is having a hard time learning the cusfioms of this country. When he retired Tuesday night, in room 1%, he placed his tan shoes in the hallway outside the door, as is the custom in all English inns, expecting that the “‘boots’ weuld come along in the night and take them up and leave) them again in place, nicely polished. But when hse opened the door of his room Wednesday morning and iooked for his boots they were gone. It was the only pair of boots he had with him, and he was in a deuce of a fix. He tele- phoned the office and demanded his boots of the buttons who respended. “What the deuce have you done with me boots?” he inquired. No one knew what had become of them. Mr. Warner explained that he was president of the Warner Manufac- turing Co. of England, and that he had come to St. Louis to sell a car truck to the St. Louts Car Co. Geerge J. Kobusch and Henry Vogel of that company were sent for, and beth came to the hotel to try and help Mr. Warner out of his fix. They were about to summon a shoe dealer to fur- nish him with a new pair, when the missing ones were discovered under the safe in the office downstairs. They had not been polished. A bellboy passing through the hall at night had seen the boots in front of the door, and, thinking they been lost by some one, he carried them to. the office. SIX FEET TALL AT FOURTEEN, GIRL, HUGGED, CALLS POLICE Scuffling Swains Break Window; She Flees, Is Caught; They Are Fined. Miss Hazel Taylor, who, though but 14 years old, is about 6 feet tall, blushed rosy red as she told Judge Pollard in the Dayton Street Police Court Wednes- day how Harry Schweitzer of 1412 North Twenty-second street had thrown his arm around her and tried to kiss her as she fled, Daphne-like, through the hall of her home at 1988 Franklin ave- nue, at midnight Tuesday. This tall child's mother, Mrs. Kath- erine Taylor, a widow, who is but 29 years old, was away from home. So was her little brother. Schweitzer, John Higgins, whose address is the same as and another man, all friends of her mother, said Miss Tay- lor, called late in the evening. She said her “‘mamma’’ was out and the callers decided to wait her return. Shortly before midnight, Schweitzer and another of the trio engaged in a tus-

,sle, the issue of which, the gir] said, Schweitzer remarked, was to be the right to “hug and kiss’’ her. In the scuffle, Schweitzer knocked the other swain against a window, which broke, and Miss Taylor, alarmed, drew herself up to her full six feet of height and fled. Schweitzer pursued, she said, and embraced her at the head of the stairs. * She ran down to the street and called a policeman; who arrested Schweitzer and Higgins. Judge Pellard: fined each of them $300. DEATH OF RAT RESULTS IN POLICE BEING CALLED OUT Music Teacher Thinks Some One Is Being Suffocated, Phones Night Chief Gillaspie. The powerful odor of carbolic acid, which caused M. Alfred Bertrand, a music teacher, and his wife, Anestine, to cough and gasp when they waked in their home, 682A North Union ave- nue, at 3° a. m., Wednesday, inspired Bertrand to rush to his telephone, call the police and say, “‘Everybody in this building is being suffocated by some drug.”’ The Bertrand flat is above the Del- mar-Union Pharmacy, owned by S. R. Kieffer, and located at the corner for which it is named. Kieffer, who lives three or four blocks north on Union avenue, Was waked by the police. He opened the store, sniffed and said, “Yes, there is a strong odor of carbolic acid. My porter found a dead rat in the basement and I poured two ounces of crude carbolic acid where the rat had been yesterday morning. That's where the smell comes from." Then Bertrand and Mrs. Bertrand, reassured, went back to sleep.

SON FOR DRIVER SENT When Man Was in Room She Locked the Door and Kept Him Prisoner.

Mrs. Tillie Swinford, sick in bed in a of her home, looked out room on the second floor 715 North Eighteenth street, of the window and saw a laundry wag- on stop at a store across the street kept by Harry Simon, the laundry wagon, beside the driver, was a big white bulldog. When the wagon stopped this bulldog leaped down and pounced upon a water spaniel owned by Simon and shook him vi- ciously. Mrs. Swinford is a member of the Humane Society and one of. her mis- sions in life is to prevent cruelty to ani- mals. She decided to arrest the driver of the wagon, but she was too sick to go after him herself, so she caused his arrest by strategy. She sent her 9-year-old son across the street to tell the driver, George Bush, of 3714 Cottage avenue, that there was some laundry for him at Mrs. Swinford’s house. Bush went after it. He told Wednesday what happened when he entered the house. Kept Prisoner in Room, “I was taken to the second floor and shown into Mrs. Swinford’s room,” he said. “She was in bed, but she got up and locked the door and took the key with her and went back to bed and told me she had a big revolver under her pillow and that I would better not move. Then she sent her son for a policeman, but it. was an hour before one came and all that time I was’a prisoner in the room. I was mighty glad when. the policeman came and arrested mé.’ Policeman Barry made the arrest. When the case was.called for trial Wednesday. by Judge Pollard Mrs. Swinford’s little. son told the Court that she was sick and that she wished the case continued until she got well so she could appear and prosecute. The case was continued until Friday. Bush says he tried to prevent his dog wiipping the other dog. BOGARD GETS BLACK EYE IN HOT LEGISLATIVE DISPUTE Representative From St. Louis Has W. C. Irwin Arrested in Jefferson City. JEFFERSON CITY, March 17.—Wil- liam C. Irwin, chief clerk under former Secretary of State Swanger, is charged with assault in a warrant issued by City Attorney Lay teday on complaint of Merrean Bogard, a St. Louis member of the Legislature. Differences over the insurance bill now pending in the Legislature caused the trouble. It appéars that Bogard met Irwin near the Madison Hotel Tuesday night and a hot interchange of words followed. Bogard alleges that Irwin accused him of not having made a cerrect statement in regard to the insurance bill, in which Irwin is said to be interested. “TI used equally strong language in answering Irwin,’’ said Bogard to a Post-Dispatch correspondent. ‘‘Before I knew it Irwin hauled off and struck me in the eye, breaking my glasses.

Telephone Operator Was suri ey She Could Outdo Gertrude oa i: Hoffman.

Miss Lelia Kettler, a pretty telephone girl, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on an information charging her ‘with having mortgaged her mother’s Freési- dence at 2862 Lincoln avenue to obtain! — money to purchase e new spring outfit., Her mother says she nas been acting queerly since she saw Miss Gertrude Hoffmann do the Salome dance at the Garrick Theater a week ago. She thinks | the performance may have unsettled her daughter's mind. She wore the outfit when she was taken to Police Headquarters, where she became so hysterical that it was f6und necessary to have her removed to the City Hospital. Miss Kettler is 22 years old. She is’ a dainty brunette. In her new tailor- made suit, her Parisian hat, high-heeled shees and expensive furs she was a pic- ture of fashion when she was led to the matron’s room. Miss Kettler has been employed as a telephone girl oat the private branch exchange of the Glencoe Lime and Ce- ment Co. at Tower Grove Statien. Pesed as Her Mother. She worked there until a few minutes before noon when she started for the office of Lee R. Hart; a loan broker, in the Liggétt Building, where she was taken in custody by two detectives on an infermation sworn to by Hart and the young woman’s mother. According to the statement made by Hart to Assistant Circuit Attorney Da- } vis, Miss Kettler called at his office | Monday..and; introduced herself “to. him? as Mrs. Lizzie Ketter. That is her mother’s name. She said that she owned the house on Linceln avenue and that she wanted to borrow $300 on it. A deed of trust for that amount was drawn up and, Hart says, Miss Kettler mak- ing affidavit to the genuineness of the signature. Hart gave her the $300 The following day he went outsto inspect the property. Mrs. Kettler met him at the door. Wanted to Do Salome Daace., He was greatly surprised to learn that she was Mrs. Lizzie Kettler, owner of the house. When he _ described the young woman who. had used that name in obtaining the money from him she said: “Why, that is my daughter, Lelia.’’ She told Hart, he says, that her daughter had been acting queerly for some time anu that she had expressed a desire to become a Salome dancer. Mrs. Kettler repeated this statement at Police Headquarters. “I never heard of such a thing,’ she said. “I tried to get that strange idea ‘out of her mind, but she kept saying that she knew she could dance as well as Gertrude Hoffmann. “She took a day off last week and went to see Miss Heffman. When she returned home she tried to do the Sa- lome dance, and talked of nothing else.’’ Yesterday Miss Kettler telephoned te Hart asking if he would make an ad- ditional loan on “her house.’’ To induce her to come to his office he made an appointment with her for noon Wednesday. Detectives Calm Girl. An hour earlier he and Mrs. Kettler went to the Circuit Ajtorney’s office and swore to the information. Mrs. Kettler remained in the office of the Chief of Detectives while two of Chief Smith's men accompanied Hart to his office. Miss Kettler arrived promptly at the appointed hour. The detectives told her that her mother was “‘in a little trouble” at police headquarters, and she agreed to go there with them. When she entered the outer office of the Chief of Detectives and did not see her mother she became violently hys- terical and the efforts of several detec- tives were necessary to calm her. Her condition was such that hurried preparations were made to take her to the hospital and she was not questioned. HOTEL GUEST PUTS OUT FIRE AND FINDS $9 ADDED T0 BILL When Frank Partello, a guest at the New Lindell Hotel, Sixth street and Lucis avenue, put en a fire in his room with the contents of his water pitcher, he thought the hotel manage- niet would thank him and perhaps re- ward him for saving the building. Sy Instead, the pruprtetor, Jacob oiier- man,\put the estimated damage, 39. on Partello's bill, and when he refused to pay it, seized Partello’s suit casd. con- taining his change of linen, and heid it. Partello appealed at Police Head- quarters Wednesday for help in getting his clean linen. A policeman accompanied Partello to the hotel. The proprietor told the po-

Seizing bags containing $700 in currency, the safe- blowers ran out of the building, leaped into a buggy and urged the horse which they had stolen, into a gallop. Sheriff Gray, who lives a few doors from the Postoffice, threw open &. win- dow and fired a double-barreled shot- gun at the fugitives.

MONTREAL, March 17.—A locomotive, tender and baggage car attached to a passenger train on the Boston & Maine Railroad crashed into the ladies’ wait- ing room of the Windsor station here this morning. It demolished the granite walls, killing a woman and two chil- dren, who were waiting for a train. Eighteen passengers and railway em- ployes' were injured. Several of them were Carried to the lecal hospitals in a dying condition.

BABY LOOKS LIKE OLD MAN: DISEAS SILVERS HIS HAI Ralph Bryan, 2, Suffering From Marasmus, Is Seared and Wrinkled.

From a bonny 2-year-old baby, Ralph Bryan, whose parents live at 1468 Ar- lington avenue, rapidly coming to look like a venerable patriarch, with wrinkled skin and grizzly hair. The cause of this phenomenon is a disease known as ‘“‘marasmus.” The baby is in the City Hospital. a is a disease of malnutri- tion. The child who suffers from it seems to age. Little Ralph, who has been in the hospital for three days, has reached an advanced stage of the disease. His skin has shriveled and become creased with many wrinkles. His cheeks have the appearance of a man of 89 and his forehead is. seamed as though he had kmown three-score: and _ ten years of cares and sorrows. His hair, which was Hght and silken before his health failed, has now turned silvery, as though whitening with long years. His general appearance is that of an aged man upon whem the fingers of time have made heavy traceries. Marasmus is a serious disease, but the physicians at the hospital say little Ralph has a good chance to get well and become a baby again in appearance as well as age, and after that grow into a robust, healthy youngster with many a long year before he once more as- sumes normally the withered look of age that marks him now. is Maras General Assembly Committee Votes Not to Grant Stevenson’s Contest Petition. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 17.—The Deneen-Stevenson gubernatorial con- test was decided by the Joint Committee of the General Assembly today when it held that the Stevenson petition was not sufficient to set up a prima facie case that would warrant a recount of the votes ‘cast for Governor, or a reopening of the ballot boxes. The contest has ocupied considerable of the attention of the General Assem- bly since early in January. The action of the Joint Committee was adopted by a vote of 11 to 7. The Senate lost no time in killing the contest when the report of the commit- tee was offered for consideration. The minority offered a report asking that witnesses be summoned to Springfield to support the charges on the original petition, alleging that votes cast for Stevenson were counted for Deneen. The majority report was in favor of killing the contest. The motion to adopt the majority report prevailed. The House will meet at 6 o’clock this afternoon to consider the joint report.

Like a fleet Arabian charger or a camel who sniffs the oasis, he ran to 520 Seuth Fourth street. There he left his precious burden in the care of an- other Oriental dancer, an olive skinned, luxuriant damsel who draws the crowds to the Market street show where he blows the Oriental horn. Mrs. Abkl, when she missed her babe, ran into the street tearing her hair, wailing and crying for the child. She was heard by Alexander Ferris, a neighbor, who had seen Abkl’s de- parture, with his coat bulging on the side where he carried the infant. Ferris agreed to go in pursuit, so he hunted up the police and told them that he thought the child probably would be found at the home of the other dancer on Fourth street. His prediction was verified and the baby was restored to its mother, the tattooed houri, about 8 p. m. Abkl was arrested at his home. I SCT -_

ay DIDN’T REALIZE How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments. The drug—caffeine—in coffee and tea, is very like uric acid and is often the cause of rheumatic attacks, which, when coffee is used habitually, become chronic. A Washington lady said, recently: “I am sixty-five and have had a good deal of experience with coffee. I con- sider it very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure it causes decay of teeth in children. “When I drank coffee I had sick spells and still did not realize that cof- fee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism in my arms and fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep and was all run down. “At last, after finding that medicines did me no good, I decided to quit coffee entirely and try Postum.

TRIED OSTEOPATHY IN VAIN 7 Diet, Exercise and Medicine Had Failed to Cure Consumption of Ten Years’ Standing.

‘

(St. Paul Pioneer Press.) The name of a St. Paul man well known -in railroad circles would be enough to guarantee the statement he has made about his surprising cure by James Austin Larson and the Tele- coni treatment. This man is an of- ficer—a general officer—of a railroad entering St. Paul. It is not a smal] or a local road, but one of the big trunk lines. He feels a delicacy, however, about having his name published in connec- tion with a cure of disease. He is even opposed to any statement that would identify the road with which he has long been associated. To a Pioneer Press reporter, who tried yesterday to secure the details of the case, and: who asked, “Do you object to your name being used?” this general officer answered: (From the Seattle Times.) There was a genuine sensation in the Savoy Hotel the other morning, About 10 o’clock a man came into the hotel d ing himself laboriously along, a pa under either arm, and supported by a friend. The man had been brought to the hotel in a carriage, and prac- tically carried in to consult James Austin Larson, the originator of Telie- coni, the science of vibration, who has |} been at the Savoy since Wednesday last, and who in that time has received hundreds and treated scores for Yvarious | done there to

The elevator boy who brought him up to the second floor and saw Traynor’s friend assist™him along the corridor, stared with bulging eyes as the man came out without his crutches, took the elevator to the ground floor and walked away. Elevator Boy Talks. The young man who runs the Savoy elevator is a bright and handsome youth. His name is Earl Slater. Mr. Slater said: “Yes, indeed, I saw the man come in on his crutches, and he was almost helpless. The man with him helped him on and off of the elevator and along the hallway. I didn’t know where he was going, and naturally was astonished when I saw the same man walk out alone, without crutches, and later saw his friend join him and heard him say he was happy because he could walk.” People in the Savoy wait asked the writer: “What ae a man, that he performs such miracles?” Patients awaiting their turn to see Mr. Larson looked than a year ago. — . relieve me, e stairs, and when I came down it was only to hobble. When I left Port Townsend I was carried to a and helped aboard the Bellingham, on which boat I reached Seattle yester- day. Last evening I was taken from the boat to the Ballard Hotel in a car- riage which met me at the dock. _ Wil- liam Hendry, whose friends in Seattle and on the Sound know him bettey 1s “Bill” Hendry, took me on his back and carried me upstairs into the hotel. He kindly helped me to the Savoy Hotel, where I took the Teleconi treat- ment at the hands of Mr. Larson. ; In Thankful Mood. “Fhank him? Thank everybody and everything on earth,” said Mr. Traynor. “Helpless so long, I had be- gun to believe that never again would Mike Traynor be seen walking unaid- ed on the streets. I expect to create a surprise as I go a ong the streets of Seattle today without crutches. I know many people here, and I am afraid they will not recog: nize me unless I have my crutches with me. Watch me walk!” cried Traynor, enthusiastically, like a child with a new toy. See me put my feet on the floor solidly. Why, if I had dared to do that before coming here and taking this, to me, mysterious treatment, given by Mr. Larson, 1 would have, fallen to the floor- and perhaps injured myself. Cannot Realize It. “It’s all so sudden,” continued Tray- nor, “I can scarcely realize it. Shall | say it is a shock? I might as well, for I am all a whirl of excitement, Yesterday I could not stand alon-. Today I can put my hands into my pockets and walk away without efutches. I hope people who are af- flicted will not overlook this opportu- nity to see me, or my friends, or some of the people who have seen me in .the hotel, and find out. It is too to lose. Won't I have it on the ys now? They have all been telling se that my mission would be fruit- ss.” And then Mr. Traynor placed his hands in his pockets and walked away, with head erect and eyes gleaming with delight. As he passed along the corridor many eyes of guests of the Savoy Hotel were turned upon him, and one woman was heard to say: “I shall write this experience home as the greatest of wonders I have seen in Seattle or anywhere else. 1 would not have believed it if I had read of it.” It is Mr. Traynor’s intention to make his first call upon a doctor who informed him his trayble was chronic, and that there was no chance for him to ever again move about without crutches, He merely wants this doctor to see him walk. Teleconi Cheats a Physician’s Knife Mrs. Chas. Raher Fortunate Benefit From New Science, ing Operation Unnecessary. Gets ender- James Austin Larson Declares That Constipation and Torpid Liver Are Advance Agents for the Surgeon’s Knife, and the Cure of Them Saves Cutting. (Duluth, Minn., Tribune.) A striking example of the success of James Austin Larson’s new science, Teleconi, is shown in the case of Mra. Charles Raher, who is stopping at the Dakota Hotel. The results are so evi- dent and the proof so strong that there can be no question ra as to the truth of the facts set forth. The phy- sicilan who was in attendance settled all doubt as to the nature of the a,il- ment by a thorough examination. He decl and that an operation was imperative. Teleconi has obviated that and it is no longer considered necessary to have an operation performed. The most interesting fact of the story is that James Austin Larson re- fused to take the credit of removing a tumor. “Tumor nothing,” he said, in di the case. “So. many ghings are called tumors and cancers that have their origin in the co ted con- dition of the abdominal regions. “Constipation, indigestion and torpid liver are advance agents of the sur- n’s knife.

MILLER INSIST PATH HEALER NOT CHRISTIE Believes Ripley D. Saunders Wrong in Calling Play Sacrilegious.

Henry Miller asserts that in William Vaughn Moody’s play, “The Faith Heal- er,”’ which was presented for the first time at the Century Theater this week, there is not a line that implies that Ul- rich Michaelis, the character he por- trays, is a Christlike figure. In the Post-Dispatch Tuesday Ripley D. Saunders, one of this paper’s dramat- ic critics, declared that ‘“‘The Faith Healer’’ was a weirdly strange play in which an act of appalling sacrilege was committed. “The man of Mr. Moody’s conceiving j and of Henry Miller's. playing is made to appear before us as a Christ of to- day,” wrote Mr. Saunders. ‘‘Not only does he heal the sick, cause the blind to see, the lame to walk, the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear, but he performs the supreme Christ-miracle of raising the dead to life.’’ Saunders Mistaken, Says Miller. Mr. Miller says of this criticism: ‘“‘Mr. Saunders is mistaken in his conclusion as to the purpose and intent of the play and of the character of Ulrich Michael- is. If there is a line in the play that im- plies that Ulrich Michael's is a Christ- figure I would be obliged to him if he would point it out and it will be ell- minated. “It is deplorable and discouraging to be so misunderstood. The matter does not permit of argument, it is useless for me to take issue with Mr. Saunders in this matter, he simply sees it black while I see it white. I have no patience to discuss so careless a mistake. I don’t see how Mr. Saunders caught that point ef view. This is a case where he is absolutely at fault: “There is no suggestien of the Christ in the play. I fee] the injustice of the criticism the more keenly because I give way to no one in my zealous re- _gard for the dignity and purity of the theater, It is far from my purpose to present any such sacrilegious sensation as Mr. Saunders attributes to me. I wok, flatly refuse to: assume , any character that had the slightest pre- tense to a representation of the Christ. Charecter of Michaelis. “One must follow the story closely to come, to the right conclusion. The fact is that the poet-dramatist has imagined this man, Ulrich Michaelis, to have been born and bred under certain conditions, single minded, his whole mind focused on-spiritual things, and his peculiar life asas in the mountain solitudes

Mr. Woerner, Democratic candidate for May- or, showed wisdom in choosing the public utili- ties problem as the leading topic of his openlag campaign speech. Apart from the honest and efficient administration of municipal business, it is the principal issue before the people of St. Louis. Nothing of public interest so vitdlly con- cerns them as safe, rapid, comfortable, cheap transportation and fair conditions and charges for light, heat and power service. The fact of monopoly’s existing in the terminal, street rail- way, gas and electric utilities makes the ques- tion of their control and regulation and the en- forcement of faif conditions and just rates para- mount. Mr. Woerner’s analysis of the problem was clear, comprehensive and sound. He defined and pledged himself to an excellent platform. There was in his address no appeal to prejudice or unreason, but, on the contrary, a vigoreus con- demnation of them and a frank, unequivocal pledge to do justice without fear or favor. There was no evasion in his definition of his attitude, which was well summed up in the following sen- tences: “We stand neither for the assaults of blinded prejudice against legitimate corporations, nor for the encroachments of powerful corporations or predatory wealth upon the rights of the people, who have created them for public use. ‘IT believe in the sane and conservative, but nevertheless firm and fearless, regulation of all public utility concerns.” Scarcely less important was Mr. Woerner’s declaration of independence. There was nO equiv- ocation in his statement that he would go into the office “absolutely free and untrammeled by any personal promise or pledge or compromise, direct or indirect,” and that while he would listen to ad- vice he would “not be influenced to depart from what I believe to be the proper course by any such considerations as personal or political friendship or ‘opposition of any man. * * *” ae | - | - Le, judgment.” ter after we see what happens to the “insurgents.” Painless burglary is practiced by the St. Louis thieves who chloroform householders before ran- sacking their premises. ne a

Motormen Should Be Up-to-Date. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Instead of calling-upon the United Railways Co. to take the P-A-Y-E cars off the system, let us be more practical and ask that they require ail mo- tormen to pass an examination on the subjéct of electricity. Nine-tenths of the motormen know nothing of an electric railway system beyond the operation of a controller.

It is a pity that Mr. Woerner’s ticket, strength- ened as it is by such tried and proven good pub- lic servants as Messrs.

This is an era of penny saving and the pubhke will find its pleasures near at home. THE CASE OF WILLIAM B KS. As the case of William Brooks in the United States Circuit Court at Danville, Ill., is tele- graphed to the Post-Dispatch, it ranks high ‘n importance. When William Brooks wished to become an American citizen, the Court, after finding him fit on other tests, happened to think of a final test. Asked twice which he would choose if forced to choose between his own union and the laws of the American Union, Brooks answered twice, deliberately and candidly, that he would choose his own union. The Court then pronounced him unfit for American citizenship. ‘At Indianapolis very recently an American citi- zen, born to citizenship, met the same test in an- other way. Forced to choose between- the inter- ests of his “union” political combmation, or party, and the laws of the American Union, he chose the laws. His salary and his office as United States District Attorney were the forfeit of his choice. Still, he chose the laws, which guarantee free speech and a free press. His “union” has put an- other man in his place. What will the other man do on this test of his fitness for American citizen- ship, as it is proposed from the bench of the United States Circuit Court at Danville, in the case of William Brooks? How many others in Fed- eral office are prepared to meet the same test? a, A ae ae

McCulloch to buy a few new cars replacing those destroyed since the last purchases in World’s Fair year. ° EQUALIZE THE TAXES. In his message on the necessity of providing additional revenue for the State, Gov. Hadley warns the Legislature that the Federal Goveri- ment will appropriate the tax on which he thinks properly belongs to the State, jf the states do not exercise its taxing power upon them. The warning is emphasized by the evidence in his two messages that President Taft intends to press the subject of inheritance taxation on the attention of Congress. There is good ground for Gov. Hadley’s opinion that the inheritance tax should be levied by the State, because in- heritances are protected, devised and administered under the laws of the State, which performs a definite, valuable service in connection with them. The principle upon which the Governor recom- mends a corporation tax is sound. There is no objection to charging corporations for their char- ter privilege, but at present the proposed tax is a makeshift to supply the deficiency created by the failure. to enforce impartially the existing tax laws. So are the other special tax recommenda- tions. The best part of the Governor’s message relates to efforts to have a full return and just assess- ment of real and personal property now subject to taxation. If this were done, if the Board of Equalization would do its duty in the equalizing of. assessments on real.property, there would be no deficiency in the State’s revenue. One collector paid $8.75 for a lettor from Roose- velt and another wasted $8 on a letter by some long-forgotten person whose name was John Quincy Adams, if the telegrapher has not erred.

WONDER how things are getting “on at the office,” remarked the bridegroom. “You'll know. ‘goon enough,” pouted the bride. “We have only three days more.” At the thought, all the lights went out in the bride’s eyes. A man said once that wher the bride smiled it was like the turn- Ing on of a thou- SOLE gand electric ‘lights. But this GREELEY SAT. Man was not the bridegroom, who had Ro taste for poetic similes at all. - Yet a moment before the bride had ‘wery happy, and oh, se very, very had not the bridegroom sew a button on his coat serge garment lay in her hie iikenune down ie soft folds of her flowered negligee, and the bride’s brow furrowed with the importance as she Sewed the button on—but slowly—oh, very slowly. For was not the bridegroom watching the process over the top of his evening paper, with a pleased smile? The bride Mked to be watched and she enjoyed every stitch she took in the stiff cloth. The time would come perhaps when sewing on a button for the bridegroom ‘would he a perfunctory wifely task— when, in‘eed, the bridegroom might go buttoniess. But at that moment the bride would mot have exchanged the Cheap bone button in her hand for all the jewels of the world. Perhaps a shadow of. this flitted through the bride’s mind. "Don’t you think ‘we might stay here another week?’ she asked wistfully. But the call of work was on the bride- groorn, “No,” he said, positively. “I’ve got to be back at the office on Thursday.”’ ' The bride sewed on in silence. The bridegroom did not notice that the joy had gone out of her face and that her head drooped over her sewing. But suddenly a big tear slipped from under her lowered lashes and splashed upon the coat. “Why, you funny little baby!’ ex- claimed the bridegroom, ‘“‘what’s the matter with you?” “I don't want to go away from here,” said the bride, tremulously.

When am I to have the pleas- ure of meeting my stepchildren?’ But the bride did not care for such ribaldry. “I won't talk to you,” she announced and snapped her thread from the re- stored button of the bridegroom's coat.

If that jury brings in a verdict of guilty, what then?’ “What then?

Well?’ s “Then we delay things until a new Governor comes in,” Jack answered. “But suppose that new Governor is Hardmuth himself?” “How can the Hardmuth?” “Nothing can stop it if he gets the nomination,” the Justice Cs, “and the convention is in peaciann at Frank- fort today, with Mr. Hardmuth's name in the lead.” “I’ve served that notice on them”’— Brookfield indicated the paper—“and they won’t dare nominate him—that is, I think they won't.’’ “But to charge him with murder!” Mrs. Campbell protested. “The only thing to consider there,” Prentice said to Brookfield, “is have you your facts?” “T have.” “Then it:was a duty, and you chose the psychological moment for its per- fermance. ‘With what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.’ *” The Justice turned to his agitated hostess. “I have pity for the man whom. that paper crushes, but I have greater pity for the boy he {8 trying to have hanged. You know, Mrs. Campbell, that young Whipple is the grandson of an old friend of mine.’ “Yes, Mr. Justice, I know that.” Mrs. Campbell's answer unconsciously fell into the tender tone of the Justice. Jo’s hurried entrance and his cry, “Marse Jack!” startled the occupants of the room. Mrs. Campbell, woman- like, feared the return of Hardmuth; Jack thought some bad news had come from the trial. The appearance of Helen and Viola, who followed Jo, did not momentarily dissipate this belief, “Oh, Jack!” Helen exclaimed.

They say, in that case, the jury is anxious to get away, or to finish its work,” “Oh, Mr. Justice, you pin hope upon such slight things!” Helen sank into a chair. hers in his paternal manner. “That is what hope is for, my dear Mrs. W hipple—the frail chances ef this life.” Viola, who had gone to Helen’s side, turned to Brookfield. “And now, Un- cle Jack, Mrs, Whipple ought to have a cup of tea and something to eat.” “Oh, I couldn’t”' Helen pleaded; “we must go back at once.” “Well, I could. I—I must,” the young girl said to the group. “Yes, yes must—both of you,” Mrs. Campbell urged. Helen shook her head, again refus- ing, at which Viola asked: “You don’t think it’s heartless, do you?” “You dear child!” Helen put her arms about the girl whose sympathy and companionship had been the most unwavering element in her - own strength for more than a year. She kissed her tenderly and gave her to Mrs. Campbell, who led her from the library andjinto the. dining room, where Uncle Harvey had arranged refreshments. “And now wre , my dear Helen,” Jack comforted; “it’s almost over.” , Jack, at. the other trial the jury delayed. just this way!”’ “Upon what point, Mrs. Whipole, did the jury ask instructions?” Prentice inquired. “Degree.” “And the Court?” “Oh, Jack,” Helen said, in return- ing terror, to Brookfield, “the Judge answered: ‘Guilty in the first degree or not guilty. “That all helps us,” Prentice said. “It does?” Helen’s answer from the Justice was a nod and one of his confident anc reposefyl smiles, ho spdéke for the jury?” Brook- field inquired, “The foreman, and one other jury- man asked a question. “Was it the man in the fourth chair, first row?” “Yes,” Helen replied. Jack heaved a sigh of relief. Viola returned rom the dining room, holding in her hand @ crumpled note of blue paper. “Oh, Uncle Jack, here’s a note our lawyer asked me to give to you! I forgot it until this minute.” “Thank you.” Jack took the note. “What is it,.

If there was a uniform law, and he believed — he had demonstrated its existence, by which the active and ag- gressive th nking of one mind eould affect another, and if the Intensity of this effect increased as the battery of minds was strengthened by addi- tional numbers, Brookfield believed that at the instigation of Prentice he had invoked this law at the most crucial moment of his existence, and had applied it in the most direct way possible. The value of their att grew in his estimation when he recalled his reading on the psychology of panics, of religious revivals and sentimental crusades which move like rairie fires in. their rapid communication between the units of a crowd.

Watching A Stomach Digest Food Was the Means Whereby Science Made Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia. : e Abbe Spallanzani was the firs solentio’ to sais systematically the chemical powers of the gastric juice, but it was by the careful and convinc- ing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact knowledge of its composition and action was laid. Beaumont was an army surgeon, lo- eated at an obscure military post in Michigan, while it wae yet a territory, and was called upon to treat a gun- shot wound of a stomach in a Cana- dian voyageur— Alexis St. Martin. When the wound healed a permanent opening was left by. means of which food could be placed in the stomach and gastric-juice taken from it. Beaumont made scientific experi- ments with his crude means and wrote a book, which today is recognized "among the classics of physiology. Beaumont blazed the way for other scientists so that today medicine knows, what the stomach does with food and what food does to the stomach. Science also knows what the gastric juices are and how to make them best tor the system. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to the poor army surgeon and Alexis St. Martin, give man a means of digesting food, replenishing the exhausted juices, soothing the nerves and correcting dys- ge she conditions of the stomach. tuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are nat- ural. fruit and vegetable essences re- duced in concentrated form and by tre- mendous power compressed into a tab- let. These wonderful little digestors sre known all over America and Can- ada. Full meals have been digested by them in glass tubes and they are sold by every druggist. Physicians to the number of 40,000 use them. They are meritorious and powerful.

Mild Laxative for Baby Free The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether it grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weaklings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control. The ortes cause of trouble is in the siomach. A baby that is digesting its food seldom cries and always looks cheerful: the Nittle child whose stomach is good romps and lays and never whines; the growing child earns well at school and is eager for fun if its head is clear and its stomach light, a that means if it has no constipation. t and F cerggere way to cure any ir- regularity of stomach and bowels in ch is by ne use of Dr. Caldwell’s Syru Pepsin.

Hail “Angel” Eagerly but Mose Only Tells Them How to Get Money. we The Democratic State Committee is $.600 in debt. In addition to the money necessary to make the books balance, the committee desires to raise several hundred thousand dollars to redeem Missouri from Republican domination. For a brief half hour Tuesday the committee was in high glee. It had been reported that Col. Mose Wetmore, hational committeeman, had decided to become the Democratic “angel.’’ The committee iet in secret session at the Southern hotel, and waited eagerly for the coming of Col. Wetmore. “The Colonel will at least wipe out the debt,’’ said the committeeman to another, as the former tobacco mag- nete walked irto the room, wearing a broad smile. Col. Wetmore was im- mediately invited to speak. ‘““‘With $100,000 the Democrats can clean up the Republicans in this State,”’ be- gan Col. Wetmore, according to the recollection of a committesman. “To accomplish this great purpose [ will give——”’ The Colonel loud ~- teers. Col. Wetmore Offers “Aid.” “T will give,” he repeated, “‘you the benefit of a splendid scheme to raise money. Get, say 10,000 or 20,000 loyal Democrats in this State to sign a pledge to contribute $1 a month to the State Committee for campaign pur- poses, and the trick is done.” This sentiment was cheered a bit. One Democratic Committeeman then remind- ed another that Col. Wetmore’s con- tribution to the Democratic national campaign last fall exceeded his board bill by 30 cents. It was then concluded that the party would have to look else- where for an angel. The committeemen frankly expressed the views that they couldn't raise the meney needed among their friends. 3 Edward F. Goltra of St. Louis looks more like an angel to the Democrats than anybody else just now. Mr. Goltra has millions, and is one of St. Louis’ rich men who isn’t afraid to let loose of his money. He is well liked by all factions of the Democrats, and there is some talk that he may be rewarded with a senatorial nomination if he finances the party. PLAN IS TO REHABILITATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN STATE At a meeting of the Democratic State Cc, amittee, held Tuesday afternoon at the Southern, Judge W. H. Johnson of Montgomery City was elected vice-chair- man. A plan was proposed for the entire rehabilitation of the Democratic party in th, State, and the infusion of new blood and greater activity. The State Committe, therefore, selected an execu- tive committee to put the necessary gin- ger into the body, which will open head- quarters in St. Louis within this month. The committee selected was as ‘fol- lows: Joseph B. Shannon of Kansas City, Dr. A. E. Platter of Memphis, M..; Senator H. I. Simrall of Liberty, Myw.; Dr. J. L. Thorpe of Jefferson City, an” Thomas E. Kinney and Edward F. Goltra of St. Louis. *The proposed rehabilitation of the party originated in a plan prepared by Al. Harty of B.,o~fi.-d, Mo., which re- sulted\in the selection of the committee to carry it further into effect. Chairman Thomas L. Rubey presided at the meeting. CLOCK WIRES CAUSE TWO FIRES Grounded Conveyers of Electricity for Big Timepieces Dangerous. Within a half-hour of each other twe fires occurred on South Broadway early Wednesday morning from an unusual cause, grounded wires attached to elec- tric clocks. The first fire was in’ the jewelry store of William Mauch, 1436 South Broad- way, at 6 o’clock. A pedestrian saw flames in the store and notified Engine Company No. 16, a short distance away. The fire was put out with small damage to the building. In loeking for the cause of the fire the department found wires operating the big electric clock in the store grounded, which had ignited the woodwork, Half an hour later an alarm was turned in from the jeweiry store of Vin- cent Rapp, 1718-South Broadway, three blecks distant from the first fire. Here the damage was about $500 to the fix- tures. A search for the cause again re- vealed grounded wires leading te the electric clock.

A bad back pre- vents rest or sleep, and aches all day with a dull, tired throb. Don’t think because sharp twinges strike you when you lift, or twist about, or reach, that your work is too hard for you. Bail backs are common in every occupatiog. Those aches and twinges are only Nature’s warnings that the kidneys need help. It is easy to tell if the kidneys are sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of filtering the blood. Backache is an early warning. Head- ache, dizzy spells, puffy. swellings un- der the eyes or in bh he ankles and 'egs, nervousness, irritability, rheumatic pain and tired feelings also tell of Kid- ney ills. Examine the urine. If it is ex- tremely pale and light, the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If it is dark colored and thick, pas- sages too frequent, or too scanty, if there is any sediment deposited when it stands, that is proof enough that the kidneys need attention.

Koeln was defeated in his own precinct by 233 votes. -Koeln’s record in the House of Dele- gates was responsible for his loss of after his election to the House of Del- egates, was to attend a meeting of members-elect at* the Hotel Rozier.

The changes in the House thus made it necessary to organize a new com- bine. Butler sat at the head of the table at the Rozier Hotel meeting, and John J. (Silver) Burke at the opposite end. Koeln was admitted into the combine at this meeting, and here it was agreed, under Butler's df@tation, to elect James H. Cronin, Democrat, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and John P. Sweeney, also Democrat, speaker pro tem. Cronin was a relative by marriage of Col. Butler, his sister being now the widow, then the wife, of Jack Butler, the Colonel’s son. Sweeney was also an adherent of the Butler organization. Koelm was elected as a Republican, but he loyally kept the combine pledge, and when the House of Delegates met for organization April 6, he deserted his party and voted for the Butler candidates for Speaker and Speaker pro tem. The combine of which Koeln, by his own voluntary action became an in- tegral part, included Charles J. Den- ny, Harry Faulkner and Jeremiah 0 OP ELE LAE OL ENA Tale: member. “s Koeln had been in his new com- pany less than a week when a second important matter involving his party came before him for official action. In this instance, as in the preceding one, he deserted his party and showed his allegiance to the Butler combine by voting to oust two Republicans from the House and seat two Demo- crate—both Butler men, The original returns to the Election Commissioners’ office showed that John R. Fontana, Butler Democrat, and Harry W. McChesney, Reublican, had each received 1531 votes for the House of Delegates in the Twenty-second Ward. The returns from the Twenty- fourth Ward gave William G. Buech- ner, Republican, a majority of five votes over Thomas J. Buckley, Democrat, and the Election Commissioners issued to him the _ certificate of election. Buckley and Fontana filed contests. ing of April 6 and that of April 9 it was charged that the returns in the Election Commissioners’ office had been changed so as to give the two Demo- crats a majority. A special committee composed of John J. Burke, John P. Sweeney and Charles (Cap) Troll was appointed to report on the contests. The Board of Election Commission- ers investigated the charges of forgery in the returns. After an examénation of the judges and clerks of election, the Board found the original returns to be correct. But the combine decided ‘to make short work of the candidates whose seats were contested, and with- out waiting for further investigation the special committee, on the strength of a report issued by the secretary of the Election Board on the basis of the changed returns, declared that Fon- tana had received 1037 votes, enough to elect him, and that Buckley had _ re- ceived 1835 votes to 1827 for Buechner. Although the Board of Election Commissioners insisted upon the cor- rectness of the original returns, the House combine voted for the adop- tion ofthe committee’s report ousting the two Republicans and giving their seats to the Democrats. Koeln voted with the combine, and his vote aided im depriving his own party of two seats im the House. He was then a saloon keeper. Cronin resigned as. Speaker of the House of = Delegates Nov. “45, 1901. Cnarles F. Kelley, who escaped from the grand jury room in 1902 and fled to Europe and thereby prevented a millionaire bribe giver or two from being indicted, was elected Speaker without opposition, Koelm voting with other members for him. When the House was reorganized for the session of 1902 Koeln aspired for the speakership. A combination was finally made by which John R. Fontana was elected Speaker and Koeln Speaker pro tem. The Demo- cratic members of the combine, in- cluding Speaker Fontana, voted for Koeln. , Early in his official career Koeln had a splendid opportunity to show whether he would stand for the in- terests of the people or with the combine.

The Oberbeck minority re- port was defeated by a vote of 18 to 8. Koelm’s vote again being recorded against the measure calculated to give the city an adequate street car service. In the face of the second defeat by the combine Mr. Oberbeck reintro- duced the bill Aug. 29.. Charles (Cap) Troll, who made his headquarters in Koeln’s saloon for years, moved that it be rejected. Koeln voted in favor of “Cap” Troll’'s motion, but as only 11 members of the combine were pres- ent it was defeated. The bill was then referred % the Committee on Legislation, of which Koeln was a member, ranking next to the chair- man. The bill was held up by the Koeln committee from August to the follow- ing February. It was then forced out under stress of public clamor. The bill was again placed upon its passage March 13, 10083, and again Koeln voted with the combine to de- feat it. In the meantime matters had been made decidedly interesting for Koeln in his ward. He was a candidate for re-election. A mass meeting of Ca- rondelet citizens was called at Ger- mania Turner Hall to ascertain why the street car bill had not been passed. Koeln was invited to be present. Denounced in His Own Ward. William T. Smith, president of the Carpenters and Joiners’ Union, .pre- sided at the meeting. Many business men, as well as artisans, were pres- ent. Koeln was asked to explain his stand. He declared he was in fayor oif the bill, but had voted against it be- cause he preferred another bill.

There was loud complaint against the street railway companies, and legisla- tion to correct the abuses was em- phatically demanded. Koeln persistently voted against the bills designed to relieve the almost intolerable street car conditions, or was absent when importast resolu- tions came up for adoption. - : A resolution to create a public griev- ance committee to hear .complaints against the street railway companies and recommend legislation for the cor- rection of the abuses was adopted by House of Delegates, Aug. 9, 1901. Koeln was absent when this resolution was adopted. He was again absent Dec. 14, 1901, when a resolution notifying the St. Louls Transit Co. and the St. Louis & Suburban Railway Co. that unless they, within 30 days, improved the ac- commodations for handling passengers, steps would be taken by the Municipal Assembly to compel an increase in the frequency of the trips made by the cars, a reduction of the speed, and also a reduction of the fares charged for persons unable to get seats. Council bill No. 70, aimed at the street railway corpofations, reached the House of Delegates July 11, 1902. It had been passed by the Council and provided for the regulation of street railway traffic. South St. Louis, and particularly Ca- rondelet, represented by ‘Koeln, was demanding better street car facilities. The World's Fair was then in process of construction, and many of the skilled workmen lived in the extreme southern section of the city. They complained that the street car facilities were inadequate and that they had great difficulty in“ getting from their homes to the Fair Grounds. Part of the cars only on the Broadway line were operated to Carondelet, and these at irregular intervals. There was some difficulty, too, about transfers. Voted With the Combine. The Council bill wag designed to af- ford relief from these and the other conditions complained of. The Rail- roads Committee, of which James T. Brennan of the Twenty-sixth Ward, member of the present House combine and candidate for re-election. was chairman, reported the bill unfavor- ably Aug. 1, 1902. Koeln voted with 15 other members ef the combine to sus- taim the report of the co ttee. The same bill was reintroduced in the House of Delegates as House bitt No. 120 at the meeting of Aug. 5. At this same meeting a resolution de- claring that the defeat of the Council

Koeln was repudiated by an over- whelming majority in the April elec- tion. His conduct in the House of Delegates caused his popularity te suffer to the extent of almost 1000 votes. Edward J. O'Neill, Democrat, was elected by. 691 majority over Koeln in g ward which had been heav. ily Republican for years. Koeln re- ceived but 8387 votes, where two years ago he had receivefi 1818. He was defeated in his own precinct by 233 votes. In the last extremity, to save him- self from defeat, Koeln and the com- car bill. After onceg voting it down on the evening of March —a few weeks before election—the recon- sidered it and pased it, the entire combine with Koeln, voting for it. This was the same bill the combin had fought successfully for more tha 18 months. Reiss Forced Out of House. The tactics of ths Fontana-Koeln- Cronin combine was such that Paul C.

It is claimed for Koeln, by his friends, that his vote on the garbagé bill was against the interests of ‘‘Col.’’ Ed But- ler, who organized the combine. A bill providing for the reduction of garbage by the Merz process was passed by the House of Delegates and Koeln voted for it. After his ‘defeat for the House of Del- egates, Koeln jreturned to his saloon business, in which he has been engaged practically all of his life. He was for- merly president of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association. Koeln was orig-> inally a Democrat. He formerly owned saloons in South St. Louis, but several years ago bought the Minstrel Bar at 116 North Sixth street, and ran it until a rival saloon keeper outbid ‘im for the lease. The Minstrel Bar formerly had a side entrance leading from Sixth street to a large room furnished with tables and chairs in the rear of the bar. This portion of the place for- meriy was frequented by women as well as men. Later, when the anti- wineroom laws were enforced, this+ side entrance was,closed, and the back room was used for a restaurant. Koeln engaged in the amusement business about a year ago.

He has even hinted at a trip to California or to Mexico, and, should the boys become champions in the meantime, it is not improbable that the whole club would be taken to Hon- Olulu or some other iisland city in the Pacific. The squad worked out yesterday just es it is expected to open in the first game, with the exception of the absence of George Stone. With Jimmy Williams back on second base, the team took on a finished appearance for the first time and Manager McAleer was in better hu- mor in the evening than at any time since leaving St. Louis. The fact that Williams reported in excellent condition, instead of crutches, as the sports had led many to believe he would, made the Brownie leader happy, and he has abso- lutely no fear now of starting off in an- other race for the pennant. ) A Few Reason sWhy McAleer 3¢ - a Us bs © J *, as hae ’ SWith sturdy substitutes for both the + tnneld and the outfield, a top-notch ri ‘ tatcher and a veteran pitching staff that gives promise of getting into the / very best of condition, any manager * iouta be happy. ‘The Browns, to all "- &ppearances, will go into the coming “ tace better fortified than any club in _ the American League. ~ Williamis had not had a ball in his ~ hand until yesterday and, of course, “Was not using any speed, but he han- “Hea ground balls in the same old way | a wet was a delight to the St. Louis fans pc | summer, and’ his legs, that were ie tupposed to\be withered away, carried os over the ground as fast as when the

Roy Hartzell was’stationed in the out- field, yesterday, Wallace being on the job at shortstop. Hartzell is likely to be to the Browns what Artie Hofman has been to the Cubs and he’s just about as valuable a player. Rube Waddell is wearing a Texas hat. A friend he has made since coming here took him into a hat store, yester- day, and bought him a genuine broad- brimmed Texas lid, about the-color of clay dust and the brim fully 8 inches wide. Tue lid cost $7 and Rube is very proud of it. No one is trying harder to be a ball- player than big John Edlick, the East St.. Louis blacksmith. He is out at ‘every practice, always among the first ones, and is the last to leave the field. He is never idle a moment of the eatire time and pitches, plays on the infield and even chases fly balls in the outfield. Harry Howell is taking absolute rest. His arm is feeling better already and he thinks he will be ready for work about Saturday, but McAleer would just as soon he would lay off till next week. It’s hard for Harry to keep still when the others are playing ball. Emma Goldman is a guest at the hotel where the boys are quartered.

SOCCER TEAMS TO FlGhT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Winner of St. Lvos-New Tar- iffs Contest Will Get Game With Pilgrims. ; _—_—_— When the St. Leo and New Tariff soccer teams meet in the first of a series of three games at Kulage Park,

Sunday afternoon, the elevens will not only be battling for the city champion- ship, but the right to play the Hyde Park Blues of Chicago, the latter part of this month, and the ilgrims.of En- gland next October. The St. Leos. played in the Athletic Park League and won tne pennant. The New Tariffs won the flaz in the Kulage Park League. Tommy Cahill is secretary of the Ku- lage Park League. Cahill also went to England, a short time ago, and com- pleted arrangements to bring the Pil- grims to this country for a series of games just after the basebali season closes, next October. Cahill will be with the Pilgrims from the time the eleven lands in New York until they leave. He will be practically in charge of the team. Klosterman has his eye on the one good chance. He wants his eleven to play the Englishmen. He therefore de- clared that he was angry at the man- agement of the Athletic Park League and that his team would play a best two out of three game series for the city championship at Kulage Park. Cahill promised Klosterman fhat the winning team would meet the Hyde Park Blues the latter part of the. month and that the city champions would play the Pil- grims when they come to this city. Klosterman was more than satisfied. The Hyde Park Blues, two years ago, defeated the St. Leos 2 to l. The St. Leos are anxious to wipe out this de- feat. Phil Kavanaugh will referee the game next Sunday. CITY BASEBALL LEAGUE TO HAVE EIGHT CLUBS Eight clubs will compose the City Baseball League this year, and the teams will play the preliminary games to the regular Trolley League contests each Sunday at Ellendale, Athletic and South End parks.

March 17.—When Johnson says he will fight sim Jeffries—and more than that, whip him—one must feel that he means every word he says. He does not speak boastfully or with any display of ill-feeling. He does not speak as from a well-rehearsed page of lines or with any evident attempt at making an impression. He _ simply throws such a lot of earnestness and eagerness into his remarks that he overcomes at once any impression one might have that the black man’s talk has a false ring. There is no false ring to it. ‘He will jump into the Pacific Ocean when he sees Jeffries coming into the ring,” remarked one of the fight fol- lowers who saw Johnson walking down the street. Johnson was told that Jeffries would “buffalo” him, as he did Jack Monroe, Ruhlin and _ others. Jack showed about $100 worth of.dental work in his | ivories as he slowly digested the state- ment. Then he unwound one leg from the other. “‘Many, many months ago When I was far from being as good as I am now and certainly with only half the confidence CHICAGO, in .myself that I have now,” he said, “I started to go after Jim Jeffries for a fight. He scoffed at me, turned me down almost brutally and said many harsh things about me. I knew my weak position, knew it well, and simply gritted my teeth and waited. I was sat- isfied that tf everything oroke right for me that some day I would be in a posi- tion to make Jeffries eat his words. Traveled Far After Burns, ‘Yes, they say I am not game, and all that. Well, I traveled upward of 40,000 miles trying to get a fight with Tommy Burns, the man who forced the world to acknowledge that he was champion. I raced to Australia and back, twice or three times across the American continent to get where he was and.try to force him into a meet- ing, and then I went to Engiand and from there to Australia. If that is the action of a coward, if in depriving my- self of tomforts to chase this man, if standing all the insults'and snubs and sneers in the world, I showed myself a coward, then I cannot argue longer. ‘“‘And in Australia, through the negli- gence of my manager, Sam Fitzpatrick, who formed alliances I did not like and who refsued to curb Burns’ false state- ments about me by making counter- charges, I was humiliated as no man ever was among men before. My color is shady and all that, but I am an in- telligent man and know things as few rmen in my prefession know them, and when such bitter personalities were indulged in I was cut to the quick. “If, in facing all the bitter resent- ment against me in Australia, and fac- ing it like a man, winning my fight in a manly way, declining all opportuni- ties for advantages that might be con- strued as unfair by the partisans against me, I showed any cowardice, then the criticism must stand. “-

The Real Estate Cocked Hat League matches on the Royal alleys last night resulted in a 4-1 victory for the Sellers over the Premoters, while the Buyers made a clean sweep in their match with the Hustlers.

Higgins and Higeinbotham Show Big League Form in Little Rock Workouts. a

U NDER the warm Southern sun, the Cardinal twirlers are rapidly ing into form, yesterday morning the veterans, Lush and Beebe, ing for the Regulars and Bresnahans, five-inning battle, the former getting the verdict, 2 te 0 In the —_——— , rs re, Pea LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 7.

respectively, hooked up in £15 Higgins and Higginbotham went seven rounds to a scoreless draw, five hits 7 being the total amassed from their combined deliveries, Higgins has made a favorable impres- j} sion ever since he struck camp and his work yesterday: strengthened the belief that he will stick with the team. Only three of the regulars got to first base in the seven innings that he was on the mound, two of these on hits and one on a pass. Higginbotham was the only one of these reached second and he got no further. Higginbotham Effective. Higginbotham’s work was equally im- pressive. He ailowed but three hits and did not walk a man. To his great ‘delight he succeeded in fanning Man- ager Bresnahan, the third time that he has performed the feat thus far this spring. It looks as though 8st. Louis had picked up a couple of good young pitchers in the two Three-I League re- cruits, More and Higgins. e President Kinsella of the Springfield team, who sold More to Chicago, St. Louis getting him by refusing to waive, was down here last week and it now develops that his principal object in ceming was to find out what Bresnahan intended doing with More. It was learned today from an authoritative source that Bresnahan told the Spring- field magnate that there was very little chance of his getting the big pitcher back. Today’s game gave a pretty fair idea of the Cardinals’ batting order for the season. Phelps was moved up and sent to bat third ‘for the regulars. This ia, without doubt, where Manager Bredna- han himself intends to bat. The bat- ting order would then be Byrne, Shaw, Bresnahan, Koney, Evans, Delehanty, Charles, Reilly, pitcher. It is pretty M.

U. indoor 500 yards swimming cham- pionship race, to be decided at Phila- delphia the latter part of this month, Cc. W. Bassett, athletic director of the club, states that the M. A. C. will not enter a man for the reason that the M. A. C. lacks a first-class swimmer at that distance. New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and possibly Chicago will have swimmers in the race. . -— Teams of the Commercial Tenpin League bowled on the De Soto alleys last night, with the following results: Buffets 3, Red Mills 9; Grimm & Gor- leys 2, Goldmans 1; Southerns 2, Mark- hams 1; Buxton-Skinners 2, Hamilton- Browns 1; Terminals 2, Union Stations L

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS REACH AGREEMENT Amendment Pleases Both Sides and Session Before Senate Com- mittee Is Tame. JEFEERSON CITY, March 17.— What was expected to be an inter- esting session before the Senate Ju- diciary Committee when members of the Christian Science Church ana physicians met last night to discuss two bills, turned out to be a tame meeting. This result was brought about by a conference yesterday be- tween the Scientists and the members of the medical profession. An amend- ment, satisfactcry to. both sides of the controversy, was agreed upon and presented to the committee. Dr. Herman E. Pearse of Kansas City representing the physicians pre- sented the following amendment: “Nothing in this act shall apply to persons who.winerely practice the re-

jligious tenets of thetr church without | pretending a knowledge of medicine or surgery.” ; The objectionable features of one }of the bills from the Scientists’ view- point was that no person might prac- or surgery or treat the | sick without a license from the State re ‘ « eS, 4 ¥ ™ ‘as says . ae 2 = aa SS a Rie RE es anit ast ‘, te . ao 726 pe . i> -ah ee ae. eae “— ; INGTON AVE?) 0 —' Sif $3.50 down Sivek TT MEARAET ILD idee ane tan! } ia ' + sigtes HEbl } if et AMuattite ie eeehhinlea WE GIVE, REDEEM & GUARANTEE BAGLE THADING S‘TAMPS. } $27.50 & $30.00 Spring Suits for $18.85 We would like you to see these Suits—they are really great bargains—when you see. re _ them you’ll recognize the unusual character of this offering at a glance—$27.50 & $30.00 G/L .e is a conservative estimate of their worth—we secured them by a chance: purchase—that's : he eee the only reason why we can afford to offer such: unusual values so early in the season. } bes sco germ Handsome Suits of plain or fancy serges, mannish materials, satih-finished prunella mer, cloths, imported worsteds & elegant Panamas—in this Spring’s newest shades & dressy blacks—coats in the prevailing lengths, semi-fitted and hipless f A mF es AAU
