WYMAN MUST GO ~ WARNER DECLARES. AFTER SEEING TAFT

Missouri Senator —_ Says Party. Men All Are Against Reappointment of St. Louis Postmaster.

From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 17.——After a talk with President Taft this morning Senator Warner stated pesitively master Wyman would not be reappointed. He would be appointed or when. against Wyman. (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) WASHINGTON, April 17.—Senator Warner of Missouri talked with Presi- dent Taft today regarding the post- mastership at St. Louis. The present in- cumbent, Frank Wyman, has had two terms. 2 The President has the matter under consideration and the Republican lead- ers are trying to agree upon a candi- date. REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAVE MADE FIGHT ON WYMAN Postmaster Wyman returned to St. Louis three weeks ago after nearly a month spent in Washington in pushing his claims for reappefntment. He has ‘@teadily refused to discuss the post- mastership fight. It is generally conceded since Presi- dent Taft received the nominatien that @ successor to Postmaster Wyman would be selected soon after the in-

auguration. President Taft is said to have told St. Louis politicians that he would abide by thei# requests and de- cline te reappoint Wyman. The opposition to Wyman has had the support of the entire Republican organization in St. Louis, and Senator Warner and Congressman Bartholdt have vigorously opposed a favorable consideration of Wyman by President Roosevelt and later by President Taft.

It is be- lieved these friends at court saved Wyman as long Roosevelt” was in office, but with the advent of the Taft administration these men went out and left Wyman without a friend. Charles Nagel of St. Louis, Secretary of Com- merce and Labor in the Taft Cabinet, works with the Republican organization, and friends of Postmaster Wyman have expected nothing but opposition from him, It was predicted nearly vear ago that Oscar L. Whitelaw would re- ceive the appointment, but later reports have included Thomas J. Akins, United States Subtreasurer at St. Louis, and Henry W. Kiel, chairman of the Repub- lican City Committee, as possible suc- cessors to Wyman. Wyman Ignored Party Men. The lecal Republican organization has been after Wyman’s scalp practically all the time since he first teok office, the Republicans insisting he refused to advise with the organization about ap- pointments, and that he removed men in the Postoffice service over the “protests of the organization. It has later been charged by his opponents that Wyman cenducted his office from a purely per- sonal standpoint and that he has re- duced and removed men because they were supporters of Congressman Bar- tholdt and others who were opposing Wyman. The only reply made by Wyman has been that he has conducted the office solely on business lines and that he has refused to accept the dictation of politi- cal bosses when he thought such action would be detrimental] to the serv ws | and Secretary as a

UMAN DECLARES SHE KILLED MAN WITHA PRILTER rr Servant Drew Drop of Blood From Breast for Him to Drink.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., April 17.—Emma Baker, 24 years old, of Northeast, Erie County, asked to be arrested this morn- ing, declaring she believed she had caused the death of William Anderson at Northeast about ten months ago by administering a philter to him in a cup of coffee. She was held over by Magistrate J. J. Kirby to await an answer from the police authorities at Northeast. The woman went to the police station Shortly after 6 o'clock and told Capt. Joseph Murray she wanted to make a confession to him. “I poisoned a man I was in love with at Northeast,”’ she said, ‘and want to give myself up." She told the Police Captain she in- fiicted a wound in her breast and ex- tracted a drop of blood which she put in a cup of coffee, unknown to Wil- liam Anderson, and give it to him to drink. She told the Police Judge this morning that Anderson died about ten months after he drank the philter from blood poisoning. The woman declared she worked for Anderson as a servant and became in- fatuated with him. She thought by ad- ministering a philter to him he would return her affections. She said the phii- ter failed. ‘The woman came to thi: city after _ Anderson's death and has been working - at the University Club in Oakland. ' The police will have her examined as to her sanity.

April 17.—Judge amended KANSAS Cras, we., Smith McPherson, cree, handed down in tie United States District Court clusive jurisdiction cases and in effect instructed the State of the The injunction pending in by the in an de- here today reserved e€x- in Missouri's rate courts to keep out case, will dissolve against the raiiroads the State courts, and State officials to enjoin the 18 railroads operating in Missouri from putting the 3-cent passenger rate into effect. “Today's decree,” said Frank Ha man, representing Missouri roads, ‘‘means that the Federal retains absolute cohtrol of the rate sit- uation in Missouri. It will prevent any future interference on the part the State courts. Judge MePherson, after the amended decree today, said he would file a supplementary decision within a few days. The attorneys for the railroads asked Judge McPherson to make certain changes in his origina! opinion of March 2. They desired have stricken out his suggestion that a passenger rate of 2% cents would be compensatory, and there were other ob- jections. The Judge today did not say whether or not he would make the changes desired. RAILROADS GETTING IN LINE ON 2°-CENT PASSENGER FARE ‘the Frisco-Rock Island Railroad sys- tem will follow the lead of the Burling- ton and put into effect May 1 a 2%%-cents- a-mile flat rate for passenger traffic in Missouri. The system will also make this rate effective in Arkansas. It is probable that all of the Missouri lines will now adopt the 24¢-cent rate. It was stated &t the Wabash office Saturday tkret “it was reasonable to assume this road will take similar ac- tion, although the matter has not been definitely decided.’’ Genera] Passenger Agent St. hevien of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad said that tn order to meet the compe- tition the ‘‘Katy’’ would meet the rate. Mr. St. George said he did not Know -whether the adoption of this rate would be more than temporary to meet exist- ing conditions pending the final out- come of the litigation in this State. B. H. Payne, general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun- tain systems, said he would not know until Monday whether these lines would make the 2%-cent rate. It is generally believed in railroad cir- cles that all roads will be forced to meet the rate, since the Burilington- Rock Island systems have adopted it. Gov. Hadley has expressed pleasure over the Burlington's announcement and the prospect of the 3-cent rate be- ing abandoned generally in Missouri without a court mandate, but he says there are other concessions he would like to have made, among them being a 10 per cent reduction on round-trip tickets. Whether the injunction suit, recently filed in St. Louis by Circuit Attorney Jones, shall be pressed or withdrawn depends upon the outcome of the Bur- lington’s action. It is expected that the 2-cent rate law suit, decided ad- versely to the State by Judge McPher- son at Kansas City, will be appealed in order that other questions besides the reasonableness of a 2-cent rate may be ruled on by the courts. Hadley Discusses Action. In reference to the St. Louis suit the Governor said when news of the Bur- lington’s action reached him Friday: “What effect this action will have on the pending suit depends upon what the other railroad companies do. “That suit was based upon the charge that the 18 raiJroads had combined to fix unreasonable and discriminatory rates. If the Burlington has in fact abandoned this comibination and estab- lishes ratus ef its ewn, it has relieved itself from the charge which consti- tuted the basis of action. “Whether the rate it propeses to charge is reasonable or not could be de- termined in a separate sult against it, which might be instituted by any rep. resentative of the State. But, if the Burlington will now proce*d t allow 10 per cent eff on round-trip tickets within the State, as was always customary the now started decree ger- rail- Court the of handing down

SHOOTS cioR Wael BATHROOM WATER GIVES GUI a —

Upstairs Plasterer Accuses Downstairs Motorman of Causing Failure of Supply.

Charles Muldoon, a motorman, who lives downstairs at 6338 Etzel avenue, was shot in the toe at 6 a. m.*Saturday by William Howd, a plasterer, who lives upstairs at the same number. The shooting was the culmination of several] quarrels which originated in the diffi- culty the Howds had in keeping in operation the city water supply pipe leading to their bathroom. The shooting took place on the back porch of the downstairs flat. Howd is said to have fired five shots. One bu}l- let hit the porch ceiling. Ong hit Mul- doon’s toe. Nobody Knows whether the other three hit anything. Both Mrs. Howd and Mrs. told deputies at Hodiamont neighborly relations between the two families received a sever jolt a couple of weeks ago when the Howd water pipe ceased to flow. Howd accused Muldoon of cutting off the water. Mul- doon denied the charge. A plumber was called in. He opened the pipe and found inside a foot ruler and a red flan- nel undershirt. How those things got into the pipe is a mystery still. Saturday morning Howd went to his bathroom and turned a faucet. The faucet sighed mournfuly, but emitted no water. Howd stalked downstairs, Mrs. Muldoon says, and kicked on the Mul- doon back door. Muldoon responded to the kick. A quarrel followed and termi- nated when Howd pulled out his revo}- ver and began shooting around in many directions. After the shooting Howd went to his work and Muldoon repgired to the Cen- Muldoon that the ‘

Government Reports Show Plenty of Cereal in Sight to Furnish Bread. LESS WHEAT CONSUMED ‘ High Prices Have Always Driven People to Eating More Corn Bread.

WASHINGTON, April 17.—‘‘There is sufficient wheat in the country at nor- mal! prices to make bread for the: Amer- icans up to the time when the new crop comes in,’ declared Secretary of Ag- riculture Wilson today anent the Chi- cago wheat corner. “Those who attempt to keep prices up to their present level expect to get their money out of the common people—the consumers.”’ Secretary Wilson’s statement was made in reply to criticisms of J. A. Patten of Chicago of the crop reports of the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Pat- ter not only discredited the depart- ment's estimate of the-wheat crop, but said that the supply of wheat was scarcer than the Government's esti- mates show. “The reporters of the Department of Agriculture are farmers living on farms and know, if anybody knows, and have knowledge if anybody has knowl- edge, of the facts,”’ declared the Secre- tary. “We cannot whistle these men down the wind. If we hesitaté to take the words of the American farmers, we will not establish truth by going to the gamblers. Dangcr in Over Production. “The larger proportion of wheat has left the hands of the farmers. A _ fic- titious price has been created. The farmers, who are not beneficiaries of such conditions, will naturally plant more wheat and next year’s crop is likely to be abnormally large when the gamblers will not be in the market and mischief will be done by disturbance of the crop system. ‘In the corner of 1898 when the price of wheat was run up to $1.85 the price was depressed the following year be- low 80 cents, the result undoubtedly of the upsetting of the equilibrium of nor- mal supply and demand.” To show that a scarcity of wheat in this country is mot the cause for the present abnormal increase in the prices, Secretary Wilson points out that the amount of wheat produced in the calen- dar year 1908 was 665,000,000 bushels, as compared with 634,000,000 bushels for the crop year 1907, making 31,000,000 bush- els more for the last crop year than was found the year previous. After calling attention to the depart- ment’s report, which indicated that the amount of wheat farmers held March 1 last was about 143,000,000 bushels in round numbers, the Secretary states that an analysis of the wheat move- ment after March 1 in past years in- dicates that the yearly estimates of the percentage of the crop on farms at that time has been about 5 per cent below the actual percentage. He says that when wheat becomes dear, as it is now, as the result of the Chicago corner; people use more corn than they do when wheat is cheaper, and declares that the people who are responsible for the corner will have to consider that less wheat will be used while it remains at an abnormally high price. tten Out of Market CHICAGO. April 17.—The wheat king was not in the market today, accord- ing to his own statement, but prices advanced nevertheless. July fteuched $1.18% and closed 1%@%c over yester- day at $1.18%@%. May closed lc up at $1.28.

ST. LOVIS POST-DiISPRTCGH ——— ST.LOUIS RISES 0 DEFEAT BILL FOR PROHIBITION ——— — Every Bank and Trust Com- pany in the City Joins in the Fight. WILL BESIEGE CAPITAL Representatives of Financial Institutions Will Go to Jefferson City. Representatives of every bank and trust company in St. Louis will go to Jefferson City next week and appear before the State Senate to protest against the adoption of the resolution providing for constitutional prohibition. Many other business men, and officials of the Business Men's League, the Mer- chants’ Exchange, Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation and other organizations, are ex- pected to go to Jefferson City with the bankers. Thirty-two bank and trust company officials met in the clearing house rooms Friday afternoon, and after adopting a resolution against state-wide prohibi- tion, agreed to go in a body to Jef- ferson City. W. H. Lee, president of the Merchants-Laclede National Bank, was chairman of the meeting, and George W. Wilson, vice president of the Mercantile Trust Company, was secre- tary. It was the opinion of the bankers that State-wide prohibition will result vir- tually in the destruction of property worth more than _ £$100,000,000, deprive thousands.of wage earners of a liveli- hood, and cut off from the State more than $4,000,000 revenue each year. While the bankers were in session at the Clearing House the Executive Cemmittee of the Business Men's League and the directors of the Mer- chants’ Exchange also were in session on the question. The individual mem- bers of the Executive Committee of the Business Men's League adopted a resolution against State-wide prohibi- tion, but the directors of the Merchants’ Eixchange took no action. They decided that they could not bind the 1600 mem- bers of the Exchange by their action. Hearing by Senate Officers. The Missouri Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, through its executive committee, re-adopted an anti-prohibition resolution passed niore than a year ago. The South Broadway Merchants’ Associa- tion also adopted anti-prohibition reso- lutions, and it is exrected that the St. Louis Stock Exchange will act Sat- *urday. Mr. Lee, acting for the bankers and the financial] interests of the city, ad- dressed a letter to the officers of the Senate requesting that a date be fixed upon which their protests against pro- hibition may be heard. The resolution submitting the prohibition constiutional améndment to the people for ratifica- tion or rejection has been passed by the House of Representatives, but has not yet been acted upon by the Senate. The St. Louis bankers have no infor- mation as to when the Senate commit- tee will consider it, but they all are ready to go to Jefferson City as soon as they can get a hearing. When Mr. Lee is informed of the day fixed for the hearing he will notify the Other bankers. Representatives of al! other organizations and interests who desire to go with the bankers will be welcome, as a systematic fight against State-wide prohibition is planned. Bankers Who Met. The bankers at the meeting Friday were: William H. Lee, president of the Merchants-Laclede Ni tional Bank: Fest- us J, Wade, president, and George W. Wilson, vice-president, of the Mercantile Trust Co. and the Mercantile National Bank; W. L. McDonald, vice-president “of the National Bank of Commerce. Charles H. Huttig, president of the Third National Bank: Walker Hill, pres- ident of the Mechanics-American Na- tional Bank; William P. Kennett, vice- president of the German-American Bank; H.

Dehlendorf, cashier of the > Case Avenvoe Bank; H. J. Grossrau, x president of the Jefferson-Gravois st Co., and F. J. Hollocher, president e Trust Co.. of St. Louls County. These bankers were all of one opinion —that State-wide prohibition would be ! ve to the business and financial in ts of St. Louls. They unanimeus- ly adopted the following reselution: After viewing the question of te-wide prohibition in all its as- Gts, we are of the opinion that its ; 9 is not demanded by a prep- ‘regard for the general welfare of people and would be disastrous Big the business and material interests SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1909. ted that the material interests and moral welfare of the people are in- separably interwoven.

The prosperity, not to speak of the progress of the entire State of Mis- souri, would be most injuriously af- fected by the passage of a law pro- hibiting the sale, manufacture and use of intoxicating liquors within the State. Such a law would result in the virtual destruction of property with- in the State amounting to more than $100,000,000 in value and belonging to many upright, public-spirited and valuable citizens, and in depriving many thousands of wage earners ef honorable and lucrative occupations, for which they have been specially trained through years of apprentice- ship. The malt and other liquors manu- factured in this State are distrib- uted throughout the world and bring within the borders of our Common- wealth vast sums of money—$30,- 000,000, of which annually is expend- ed for wages, merchandise, taxes and other expenses incident to pro- duction and distribution. These in- dustries have been built up under the encourageement of the State. They contribute more than $4,000,000 a year to the support and mainte- nance of the State, counties and cities of Missouri. If they are to be destroyed, this loss of revenue must be provided for by increasing the burdens of taxa- tion now resting upon other indus- tries and property. Plea for Calm Consideration. So seriously menacing do we re- gard the suggested constitutional amendment with respect to the man- ufacture and sale of liquors in this State that we feel it incumbent upon us to voice our appeal against any ill-advised action on this subject. We recognize the wisdom of prop- er regulation of the liquor traffic, and we are as heartily in favor of temperance as any, but we do feel that nothing ought to be done which would result in the ruthless de- struction of the property of the ecit- izen. We are confident that a calm consideration of this question by any one who will inform himself on the facts will inevitably lead to the con- clusions we have here expressed. J. A. J. Schultz, president of the Mis- sourl Manufacturers’ Association, pre- | sided at the conference of the executive council. All the members of the Coun- ell weré present. The resolution adopt- ed by the Manufacturers’ Association calls attention to the losses to the busi- ness and manufacturing and transporta- tion industries of St. Louis, should pro- hibition be adopted. It stafes that $100,000,000 is invested in the brewing induStries in St. Louis, 25,- 000 people are engaged in the business, that 100,000 oar loads of brewery prod- ucts are hauled to and from 8t. Louis by the railroads every year, that $7,- 000,000 is paid out in wages, and more than $2,500,000 in rents, and that the de- struction of the liquor traffic would wipe out about 35 per cent of the entire business of the city, and practically de- populate South St. Leuis. It would also reduce the consumption of coal in St. Louls by 25,000 tons a year. Financiers Sign Resolution. President James E. Smith of the Busi- ress Men's League called the executive committee together at the Mercantile Club. The members of the ex€cutive committee, while unanimously opposed to prohibition, did not think they had the right to bind the 700 members of the league by their action, but as indi- viduals they adopted a resolution oppos- ing State-wide prohibition.

MULVIHILL 1S OPPOSED TO THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT Thomas E. Mulvihill, who gained the title of ‘“‘Czar’’ by his strict enforce- ment of the laws governing saloons dur- ing his term as Excise Commissioner, has announced his opposition to the pro- posed prohibition amendment. “T consider prohibition jnwise and harmful as a matter of public policy,’ said Mr. Mulvihill Saturday to a Post- Dispatch reporter, ‘“‘and am opposed to it for that reason and not through any sympathy for the brewers and distillers. They are the architects of the situation which now confronts them, which amounts to a public demand that they shall either get out of politics or out of business. “They have defied public opinion and have tried to override the rights of the people to protect their homes and neigh- borhoods from thé unwelcome intrusion of the saloon. Not heeding earlier warn- ings, they. plunged into politics in the last city election. Now they are reap- ing the consequences. “But this feeling should not lead the people of Missouri to adopt a measure which, in other states, has been any- thing but a success. Experience has demonstrated that prohibition, where tried, has produced evils, any one of which is as harmful as the open saloon. “Strict regulation of the saloon will wipe out most of the conditions now urged as reasons for its abolishment. The overwhelming majority of the peo- ple now favor such regulation and it has been proved possible. It is prefer- able to the prohibition experiment.”’ Springfield Saloon Men Active. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 17.—Hun- dreds are signing their names to peti- tions being circulated here today by saloonmen, appealing to ‘the State Sen- ate not to concur in the action of the House in passing the act providing for the submission of State wide prohibi- tion to the voters of Missouri. The peti. tfons will be forwarded to Senator Me. David. Attention is called to the position taken by both parties in the campaign on the prohibition question, and Senators are asked to ignore the pledges. The petitions state the liquor industry in Springfield gives employment to 1000 per- sons and the property of the saloon men is valued at 91,000,000. Business men have taken no action In the matter.

Mrs. Bartels was not so savagely han- died as at first stated. The robbers threw her to the floor and held a pillow Over her face to prevent. her from screaming. She was not seriously in- jured. The three men obtained only $20 in cash, but the five diamond rings they wrenched from Mrs. Bartels’ fingefs are valuable.

He was shocked at the news from Paris of the attack upon and rob- bery of Mrs. Bartels there. Mr. Bartels said that before he sailed for America the Paris agent who had charge of renting the Bartels’ apart- ment had received a letter from a man who asked the address of the apart- ment. Mr. Bartels’ suspicions were aroused by the letter and he is now con- vinced it was written by a man who had something to do with the robbery. Mrs. Bartels, he said, had only a few rings which couJd have been stolen and little money. Mrs. Bartels was the vic- tim of a robbery a year Or more ago and was left bound with ropes.

Massacres Are Feared. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 17.—The news received here this morning from Asia Minor is distinctly alarming. There is great excitement among the Mussul- mans at Beirut and Erzeroum, and mas- sacres are feared. No confirmation has yet been received here of the reported killing of two American missionaries at Adana, The latest intelligence sets forth that sev- eral hundred Armenians and Moslems were killed at Adana in the rioting and that the Armenian quarter of the town was finally overwhelmed and destroyed by flames. The British Vice-Consul at Mersina, Maj. Daughty-Wylie, was wounded in the arm while endeavoring to quell hos- tilities at Adana. Made Good Fight. It appears that the Armenians made a good fight and defended their quarter of the town well against the fanatical Mohammedans, but in spite of their brave resistance they were driven back and their opponents sacked their homes. Three hundred Mohammedans, armed with rifles, left Adana by train for Tarsus, about 20 miles away. Since the departure of these men communication with Tarsus has. been interrupted. Grave apprehension is felt regarding the situation there. The casualties from stray bullets in the mutiny of Tuesday and Wednesday was much heavier than at first report- ed. Most of the wounded were removed y friends, but in addition to the score f men killed it appears that upward of 500 persons were more or less seri- ously shot. Troops Moving on Constantinople. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, April 17.—Troeps from Adrianople and Salon- iki are meving by train toward Con- stantinople. Trains with about 2500 sol- diers on board from Saloniki and Adri- anople arrived at 3 o’clock this morning at Tchatalja, about 25 miles west of Constantineple. The men left the cars in an orderly manner and occupied the fortifications. An artillery regiment sta- tioned at Tchatalja remained passive. A garrison of 1200 men .olding Hado- mkeni an outpost of Tchatalja, joined the Saloniki regiments. Gen, Izzet Fuad Killed. Dispatches from Constantinople say Gen. Izzet Fuad, former Turkish Min- ister at Madrid, has been killed because he was a member of the Committee of Union and Progress. The police are searching for all members of the com- mittee. A delegation of three generals, Mah- moud, Khouchid and Hedjas, was sent down to Tchatalja to meet the troops coming from Salonika and persuade them to turn back. Their efforts were futile and the generals have returned to Constantinople. Ten other battalions of scldiers.are on their way to the capital. QUEER DISEASE HAS MAN SPOTTED LIKE A LEOPARD IN RED, BROWN AND YELLOW Mustard Plaster Is Believed to Have Given Tony Geraghty Taenia Versicular. A disease that colors the body like a highly tinted, many-spotted tiger lily has seized Tony Geraghty, a shoe maker, 30 years old, who was taken from the Workhouse to the City Hos- pital Fridav evening. The disease ig called taenia versicular. Geraghty has had it two days. He igs suffering also from incipient tu- berculosis and pleurisy. Some of the Physicians at the hospital think the disease might have been caused by the application of a mustard plaster to Geraghty’s breast, where the first discolorations appeared. Geraghty used mustard plasters to relieve pleu- risy pains. A couple of days ago he began turning different colcrs in spots, the spots growing larger hourly. Satyr- day his entire body was highly eo}. ored. Some portions were buff, ethers red. others brown, others yellow, oth- ers fawn colored and others bronze. Before the disease runs its course, hospital physicians say, Geraghty wij) become a bronze hue all over. Then his skin will peel off and resume its natural color until next season. The disease will reappear about a year hence, the doctors declare, unless Geraghty has enough patience to re- main in the hospital until completely cured. It takes about a month for the cofors to run their course and the skin tc peel. The disease {ts infect- ious. ; 9,000,000 Pounds Dynamite for Canal.

As far as possible the work will follow city sewer construction and paving repairs so that the new tracks will be laid on streets that would be torn up anyway.

Another fatal agcident occurred at the Y loop where the Lee avenue cars turn around at Lee and Newstead ave nues at 1 a.m. Saturday. Joseph Tautges, a waiter at a downtown res- taurant, was struck and killed. The cars run in on the right hand or north side track on Lee avenue. cross Newstead, back around a curve into Newstead and then head around a curve back onto the left hand or south track on Lee avenue for the re- turn trip down town. Tautges had been a passenger on the car that killed him. He stepped onto the track, and the car, backing toward Newstead, struck him. He was killed instantly, the accident happening so suddenly that a lighted cigar Tautges was smoking was ‘still gripped by his teeth when the body was taken from beneath the car. Had Wife and Children, Tautges was 43 years old, married and had two children. He lived with his family at 4470 Farlin avenue.

The Burlington's action was entirely independent and was taken by the ex- ecutive authorities of the road on ad- vice from the legal department. Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, general so- licitor of the road, said in an inter- view: “The rate question, 1 am sorry to say, seems to have taken on a political as- pect. 1 have advised the Burlington company to put in a 2%-cent rate flat. This seems to be the demand of many people who have given the matter se- rious thought. The difficulty is that all railroads in Missouri are not able to make like returns under the same rate. Whether the rate be 2, 2% or 3 cents, will) not cure the inequality of the earn- ings of the various roads. “There are reasons, in my opinion, for giving a 2%-cent rate a fair trial, and I hope the Burlington will lead off on that basis at once. It will be worth something to the railroads to get rid of a controversy with the State of Mis- sourl. Whether a 2%-cent rate flat will accomplish this, I do not know, but it will help the situation.” Darius Miller, vice-president of the Burlington, whose headquarters are in Chicago, was asked if he thought the 2%-cent rate would be permanent. He said: “Yes, so far as I know it will be per- manent. We decided on the new rate after the Governor had recommended such action and we believe it will settle the controversy in Missouri.” KREISMANN ACCEPTS $700,000 BOND FOR COLLECTOR KOELN Mayor Advised by Associate City Counselor That Statute Gives Him That Power.

OUIS POST-DISPRTCGH SATURDAY Y EVENING, APRIL 17, 1909. Sculptor Is Engaged to Rich Art Student, According to French Gossip. \AGREE ON SEPARATION ‘Artist and Wife Declare They Still Are Good Friends, Despite Divorce. - PARIS, April 17.—Frederick MacMon- nies, the American sculptor, whose di- vorce from his wife has just become known, is to marry a wealthy pupil, Miss Jones of California, according to the latest rumor which has set all Paris gossiping. "Miss Jones was staying at Giverny, where MacMonnies resides, last ‘year, and they were very attentive to each other. Although the cause for the divorce ac- tion brought by Mrs. MacMonnies, which was tried at Andressy, near Giverny, charges technical desertion, athe real reason is said to be the alleged extravagance of Mrs. MacMonnies and her refusal to give up her art. This friends of the sculptor, caused Mrs. MacMonnies to be an indifferent housewife and in- terfered with her wifely duties. The technical ground of desertion was suf- ficient, in the eyes of the French court, 1o permit a separation which was agree- able to both parties. The cause could not have been incompatibility, as both MacMonnies and his wife are very easy going and good-natured. Gets Her Maiden Name. They kept up appearances to the last and none of their acquaintances here had any idea that they were separated or were even thinking of such a thing. Now both of them display the utmost apparent serenity, as if th@y were glad the matter was over and done with. Mrs. MacMonnies may resume her maiden name of Mary Fairchild and she receives the two children, who are now living with her and her mother in apart- ments at 2 Rue harlay. She receives $240 a month alimony from her hus- band. Mr. MacMonnies signed the lease for the apartment, but never visits it. He has taken the children out onoe or twice and they spent Easter with him and his mother and sister, who are liv- ing in the MacMonnies home at Giverny. The sculptor’s mother and sister, wltse home is in Brooklyn, arrived in France | last December. Mr. and Mrs. MacMonnies have been separated a year. Whille the sculptor was in America last summer Mrs. Mac- Monnies spent the season at Mont St. Michel, with the two daughters, who are 12 and 14 years old respectively. Mrs. MacMonnies did not return to Giverny when her husband came back from America, but went at once to the Rue Harlay apartments. Denies Jealousy in Art. Mrs. MacMonnies has two pictures in which opened yesterday. They ws from the windows of her Mrs. her husband was jealous of her success in painting. She she believes him to be the greatest American sculptor She said that Mr. MacMonnies had been very considerate during the ‘‘regrettable proceedings’’ ang that she had tried not to be out- done in that respect. She is to superin- tend the education of the children, but ‘they are to visit their father whenever they choose. Frederick MacMonnies was seen this morning and refused to talk at any length regarding his divorce. All he would say was: “A friendly separation by mutual qgreement was arranged last year be- tween Mrs. MacMonnies and myself. We remain the best of friends.” The divorce was granted last Novem- ber and the final decree was signed last month. WOMAN DIES AFTER EATING .

A Train Robbery..Sure. ‘Tt’s a train robbery, sure,”’ said Pa- trolman Coates, buckling his revolver belt. “This Secret Service man hap- pened to be on the train and he's wounded and captured half a dozen of the bandits.’’ “No, I don’t think that's it,” argued Detective Howard. “He's been down thére after a bunch of yeggmen and he’s winged a couple of them. He's afraid their friends will try to rescue them when he gets to St. Louis.” “It looks to me more like a train wreck,”’ said Patrolman Powers. “The Secret Service man and the engineer are the only ones that weren’t hurt and they’re coming here with the rrain- load of injured.’’ “In that case,”’ Flynn, ‘“‘we ought to take wagon with us.” “It wasn’t called for,’’ said Patrolman McClellan. Then Comes the Crowd. The five leaped into the wagon which swung west into Market street just as the ambulance shot by on its way to the station. A crowd followed on 1 the run. At the Union Station the policemen and the surgeon hurried through the midway and into the trainshed. A young man, visibiy excited, was waiting for them. “Where is it?’’ asked Coates. “In the rear sleeper on that train,’ shouted the young man as the squad sped by him. Into the car rusted thé policeman and the surgeon. Another excited young man met them. “Where?” ‘they asked in chorus. “Here,”’ he said, throwing back the curtains of a lower berth. Cigarette His Solace, Reclining there, with t'.e covers pulled up to his chin, was a sun-tanned, hard- faced man. He was smoking a cigarette. On the pillow beside him was a sombrero with a leather band. ‘he surgeon bent over him and felt his pulse. “What the h—!,”" said the patient. “Are you badly hurt?’’ asked Patrol- man Coates. , **Ain’t hurt at all,”” answered the hard- faced man, blowing a cloud of s:note in the policeman's face. “What's the matter with you, askeu Detective Flynn. The man with the sun-tanned features seemed bored. He turned his steel-gray eyes on the detective—and took another puff at his cigarette. “T can’t get my pants on,” he said. Trousers Seat of Trouble.

This man is W. 8. Johnson. He escaped from jail in Washington, D. C., and I followed him to Oklahoma and caugnt him at Granfield. I started back with him on an M., K. & T. train yesterday morning... I was afraid that he would get away, 80 I put handcnffs on him. “That was all right in daytime when [ could watch him. Last night I was tired out and wanted sleep. The hand- cuffs on his wrists wouldn’t keep him from running, so I took them off, un- dressed my prisoner and put the hand- cuffs on his ankles. Horrors! The Key Breaks, ‘““Whéen we got to Nevada, Mo., this morning I started to take off the hand- cuffs from his feet and my key broke. As there is a chain connecting the two “cuffs,” you see he couldn’t get his trousers on.’’ “But why did you ask for an ambu- lance and a wagon-load of policemen?’’ asked Detective Howard. “Well,’’ said the Secret Service man, “I didn’t knew what sort of patrol wagons you have here. If it was an open wagon you couldn't take him through the streets ‘vithout his trousers. In that case an ambulance would be just the thing. “But, what did many policemen?’’ “Well, I thought maybe you might file the irons off him here at Union Station. If you did that it would take all of you to guard him, because he is a desper-, ate man.”’ Last Chapter in a Lap Robe. Johnson was wrapped in a laprobe, placed in one of the Union Station emergency invalid chairs and wheeled to the patrol wagon in which, clinging for dear life to the robe, he was driven to Police Headquarters. There the irons were filéd off. Danneberg wouldn't tell for what crime Johnson was in the Washington Jail. “That's a Secret Service secret,” said mysteriously. He will depart from St. Louis with his prisoner Saturday night. The records show that Johnson was arrested in Oklahoma in January on a charge of selling whisky in violation of the prohibition law and that he es- caped with six other prisoners from the Government Training Schpol in Wash- ington. you want with so he Knox Hats for young men in all shades. 406 N.

A GREAT PRODUCTION Lambardi Singers Distinguish Themselves in Giordano’s In- tense Music-Drama. ——— HERE was a fairly large audience T at’ the Odeon last night to hear the Lambardi Company sing Gi- Ordano’s ‘‘Fedora’’ in honor of Maestro Agido Jacchia, but the house would have been crowded to the doors had the meyvit of the presentation received “its just desert. Happily, however, those in attendance were sincere lovers of opera and testi- fied to the fact with a fine enthusiasm. I. was a memorable evening—the mod- ern school of music-drama had never before enjoyed so competent an expo- Sition of its essential delights, and it is doubtful if ever in St. Louis a better offering of one of its worthiest prod- ucts will be given. “Fedora” is an opera in which all the honors are relentlessly and deliberately given to two singers and the orchestra. There is no attempt to enlarge its scope in this respect. The story itself keeps Fedora and Loris almost exclusively in the spotlight, its appeal to Giordano was for an orchestral accompaniment re- merselessly responding to this truth, wherefore, properly, the two leading roles at every moment subordinated all ghere to a minor importance. Antola, the splendid baritone, was in the cast, also Mauceri, the impressive basso, and there was one instant wher Natale Cervi emerged into their good class, but there was never an instant when .any but Ferrabini as Fedora and Battain as Loris had genuine opportuni- ty for notable distinction. It's a daring thing done by Giordano in this opera— if his one woman and one man fail to be of the first order in quality his entire work fails with their failing. Triumph of Ferrabini and Battain. The one woman and the one man did not fail last night. Ferrabini sang and acted Fedora with compelling greatness, and Battain has never more fully re- vealed the beauty of his voice and the forcefulness of his drama than as Loris. The first big assurance of Ferrabini's triumph came with her crucifix-sworn oath of vengeance in the first act, a darkly ominous moment, superbly im- pressed, both vocally and dramatically, upon the minds of her audience. Then, in the second act, both she and Battain fairly swept the house off its feet with the power of their performance, cul- minating {in the magnificent duet of love shadowed by tragedy, upon which the act’s curtain descends. Coming swiftly thereafter, the opera’s final act, in which retribution falls upon the hap- less Fedor her plot of vengeance re- acting to blast her own happiness, was imposingly carried through by these two, its closing moment finding the audi- ence spellbound by the charm of the sincerest and most convincing achieve- ment. Under Jacchia’s conductoréhip the or- chestra shared to the fullest in the evening's triumph, both in the “Fedora” Score itself and in the exquisite orches- tral and vocal intermezzo and the ‘‘Mig- non’’ overture that followed. During the audience’s acclaiming of Jacchia at the evening's close there was exhibited from the stage a handsome silver tea service présented to him by Impressario Lambardli. The double bill, ‘‘Cavalleria Rusticana”’ and “I’ Pagliacci,”’ is today’s matinee ““Rigoletto’’ will be sung this evening, with Modesti in the title role, Battain as the Duke of Mantua, Zavaski as Gilda, Paolo Wulman as Sparafucile, Mauceri as Monterone and Gilani as Maddalena The Lambardi engagement will terminate with tomorrow after. noon’s grand popular concert.

THE TAX COMMISSION PLAN. How far Missouri is behind in its treatment of the question of taxation is best indicated by the assertion, made in the Senate debate, that Sena- tor Eads modeled his bill after the law of Minne- sota, which was modeled after that of Wisconsin, Daily which was modeled after Pingree’s Michigan meas- unday only, one sfx yet cic ne eel cage ure, and Pingree has been dead nine years. ge either by In the light of the experience and achievements : in their states, it is fairly clear that the primary ostal order, express money order 4 . difficulty is not to make a tax law, but to enforce CIRCULATION GROW t.

If the assessing officers would make more than a pretense of discharging their duties, the task of the Board of Equalization }would have been simpler. But both the State Board and the assessing jofficers seem to have been obsessed by a desire \to make the distributions of tax burdens still more junequal. The discussion in the Senate disclosed the presence of legislative sympathizers with the \whole mistaken policy. Naturally local assessing officers make bold to perpetuate the discriminating conditions when they have both the Board of Equalization and the Legislature setting the example, The natural result is the effort of each county to profit at the expense of all the others and the system is not to have each pay what it should but as little jas it can. A tax commissioner or a tax commission, clothed with suitable powers and working continu- ously, not only uncovers hidden wealth, adjusts disputed questions of valuation and gathers statis- tics and information indispensable to effective ad- ministration and just enforcement of the law, but it is at once a threat against delinquent assessing officers and an inspiration to ambitious ones.

Without consulting with any other railroad or waiting for a general agreement on rates, it ‘-© {Independently makes a rate of 21-2 cents a mile ~~ in this State. Presumably the management has found that it can afford to give the public this rate. Giving it, therefore, is merely an act of fair dealing.

A Springfield (Mass.) man says that while living in Minneapolis in 1886 his wife employed a girl named Annie Olive Fremsted as housemaid, paying her $2.50 a week: He now must pay $2.50 for one seat to hear her sing one night. He tells us that he has followed. her career with great pleasure and often thinks what a great place America is where one can rise from the lowest

subterfuges in the face of information that fair and equal assessments and ,vigorous prosecution of the search for concealed property would bring ample funds to meet all the revenue requirements of the State, present and prospective. And the tax rate, instead of being raised, would be mate- rially reduced. When to this result is added the wiping out of the inexcusable and unjust distribution’ of the tax burdens under the present system, we find cause only for surprise that the question, which should have been answered 20 years ago, is acute now. It is too much to expect that any system or scheme of direct taxation will effect an ideal distribution of these necessary burdens, but no justification whatever can be found for the pres- ent method which is openly and advisedly applied to distribute the obligations and make them light or heavy, according to political exigency or per- sonal inclination. Iowa hereafter will limit saloons to one for each 1000 inhabitants in a city. When the num- ber of teetotalers is considered that proportion should preyent acute thirsts.

Story of a Legislator, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Strange things happen as time rolls on. About 16 years ago a friend of mine got a presidential appointment at a fine salary. He visited St. Louis shortly afterward, and a report was sent to Wash- ington that he got hilariously drunk and his friends had to put him aboard of the train for his home. His appointment was held up on the report by the President. I was called to an attorney's office, and an affidavit afterward made by melI think saved him. As I personally knew Mr. Cleveland and cast the vote in the Chicago Convention (thirty-two from Missouri) that nominated him. Now my friend is a member of the Legislature from a wet city and is supporting the prohibition movement by vot- ing for submission of resolution to that end, which would put out of business his former bene- factor, who saved him when he needed the position very badly.

CURE FOR WHEAT “CORNERS,” From the New York World. Wicked and desperate as the manipu- lation of American market must be considered, consumers have one remedy in their own hands. Corn, though high as compared with former prices, is, in relation to wheat, cheap and abundant. If wheat production cannot be extended, and if prices, legitimate or illegitimate, must soar, corn is a substitute not to be despised. “‘best-hearted man in the world’ she is mistaken. It is the height of selfishness for a married man to go out if a baby or money shortage keep the wife at home. A true marriage consists in sharing the bad as well as the good things in life. Human na- ture is weak, at least some, and sirens beset a man who goes out alone at every nook and corner. I never would trust a man again who goes out alone; it is only a matter of time until one of those love pirates has him, and then good-by for love and happiness. Out of a hundred married men there are not thirty who have not broken their marriage vows. A married man belongs where his wife is and nowhere else. Marriage with a man who goes out alone is a failure, as I can testify by experi- ence. MRS. 8.

Education by contract is-a dangerous thing, as carried out by certain modern educators. They con- tract to teach you some highly technical branch of learning, without discovering in advance whether you have received the elementary education upon which alone it can be based and without which you cannot possibly learn it. You are, perhaps, an in- experienced youth and not aware that the course you will have placed before you will be quite be- yond your grasp. Or you are a fond but inexperi- enced parent who wishes to give a son or daughter as much education as possible. And so you sign a contract. All that the educating concern cares for is that you shall sign it. When you find that you have bought something which cannot be delivered, because of your inability to make use of it, there is the contract to be filled—many dollars to be paid for nothing. Parents and young people ought to un- derstand this business proposition in modern educa- tion. A. J. V. 3 They cry for Criss Aroung the lot, And woe is us, He cometh not!

The British people are having another spasm of fright over the reports of Germany’s growing aeronautic power. Count Zeppelin, with large capital, and enjoy- ing Government patronage, proposes to build eight dirigible balloons every year, so that in 1912 the Kaiser will have 24 of these monsters, each able to carry a ton of dynamite and a fight- ing crew. Besides the Count’s plant, there are two other manufacturers under private enterprise, both preparing to turn out airships built for pub- lic business. Meanwhile, British inventive genius shows it- self sluggish in contriving these terrible craft. And the best comfort they get from the Govern- ment is that an army officer is about to invent a gun which will fire a shot which will bring down the great German birds when they try to fly across the North Sea—if his calculations are all correct. There is something comic in this tragic fear, and yet no one knows what a week will bring forth. With dirigibles and aeroplanes in tho upper air, England loses all the advantages of her insular position. What then will save her from Holland’s fate? No wonder John Bull scans the sky in panic terror. Here lieth Hope, That lived a day, And died the night Criss got away.

Since the appearance of Mr. Roosevelt’s Outlook articles on Socialism he has been the object of all Kinds of criticism. Prof. Albion W. Small of the University of Chicago, among the rest, Says Roose- velt knows nothing about Socialism. But it is not what a man knows but what he does that concerns us. I was the first to, long ago, point out that Roosevelt catered to Socialism, and gradually -the leading Socialists have come to see and confess it. Onegoef the first to do so was Victor L. Beyer of Milwaukee, who, tn a speech on the subject, said: “He is paving the way for Socialism.’ Just recent- ly the Intercollegiate Socialist Society had a ban- quet in New York and John Spargo and Miss Char- lette Teller were among the speakers. Both of them stated that Roosevelt had helped Soctalism. “Mr. Roosevelt,” said Miss Teller, “has to a large extent helped Socialism, and the man now in the presidential chair will, in the next four years, make the work he has done legal and regular.” Miss Teller, by the by, is the daughter of Democratic Senator Teller of Central City, Colo., and is, per- haps, one of the college girls who have lately taken up Socialism. But, as President Taft has shown himself the direct antithesis of Roosevelt, it is tm- probable that he will in any way cater to the ism. On the contrary, we should look to him to carry out Mark Hanna’s prophecy that “The next great po- litical fight will be between Socialism and Repub- licanism."" Mr. Roosevelt is no more of a Socialist buster than he is of a trust buster. Many of the planks of the Socialists’ platform he has contended for strenuously—mark the child labor and the pub- lic school planks—while in one of the greatest of Wz Socialistic factors—national bureaus—he worked like A CRUMB OF COMFORT, mad just prior to his exit.

LIVESEY, Clarkson, Md. i Li, . A SMOKE ARGUMENT. As a contribution to current fiction, W. P. ‘Rend’s defense of smoke is interesting, but not otherwise. Smoke is no less a curse because the Creator knew coal would smoke when he made coal or because it “kills germs and purifies the air.” That is the substance of the argument of -this coal magnate, who is obviously lost in the mazes of his logic. Primarily, smoke is waste. Secondarily, it is a destructive medium. If the Creator designed coal | ‘to be of service to man, why not give the Crea- tor the benefit of the doubt and absolve him from Fine responsibility of making furnaces which would consume only part of the fuel shoveled into them? The smokeless furnace is a simple, practical and economical fact. Instead of letting carbon escape unconsumed, it- burns it up and saves money for its owner. “8s a destructive medium, the damage smoke does is incalculable. It pollutes the atmosphere. it settles in a grimy mantle on stocks of mer- chandise and household goods. One. estimate _=" places the losses from this cause at $10,000,000 a 4 year in Chicago alone.

A Serious Sermon Against a Preva lent Evil. Written for the Post-Dispatch. -By* REV. MADISON C. PETERS. HERE once the racetrack and gambling house occupied the field, and were patronized ex- clusively by men, today in the private parlors of respectable society scenes are enacted that should bring the blush to the cheek of womanhood. The playing of a game of chance in a private house does not make it any less evil in its results than if played in a public house, and yet the man or wom- an caught in - public gambling house is sent to a prison cell. It is time for plain speaking, and the men iho stand for righteousness and decency should not hesitate to proclaim against the whist playing habit among women which has be- come a@ veritable debauch. It usurps public spirit and civic duty, belittling iife and crowding out all noble aspirations. The days and evenings are devoted to cards. It is a common thing to hear women declare that they would rather play cards than eat. There are women who belong to a half-dozen card parties. If all the preachers of our land would speak out, declaring what they know and how continua: card playing has de- moralized our women, and hindered them in their work, if all of them spoke of what they knew, there would be consternation in the land. The card playing has become more than an innocent zest of competition. It is true of the whole country, that card playing has become epidemic, and were it innocently engaged in _ there would be no cause for complaint. No doubt that thousands of good peo- ple who constantly compete for prizes at card parties have not looked upon it as gambling, and are innocent of any intention of working injury to community morals, nevertheless, this everlasting contest for prizes has made feverish gamblers of thousands of Americans, and the craze is rapidly growing. Many women are breaking up their homes and going to hotels and apart- ments in order that they may have more time to play cards. There is scarcely a woman anywhere who would be considered as really giv- ing a card party unless she offered prizes. The gambling in the home, where the children are set the bad example, leads them to believe that it is right to gam- ble. The law makes no distinction be- tween games of chance or its equiva- lents. The Woman's National Whist League includes in its membership a half million American women, all of whom affiliate with some whist club. It is high time that we give serious thought to social gambling, which is gambling no less in the parlor than in the faro bank. Our young men are serving their apprenticeship at gambling in fash- ionable society. As those boys go out into the world and meet young men who are not scrupulous about staking money, how are they to sce any more wrong in the money stake than in the prize? What difference is there-in prin- ciple? A mother was grieved at finding her own son gambling, and when she tried te-feason with him and dissuade him from such a ‘dreadful thing’’ he sud- denly turned upon her with’ the ques- tion, ‘““‘Where did you get that beautiful vase on the parlor mantel?’ “I took it as a prize.’”’ ‘‘Well, mother, when you are ready to give up gambling, I will.”’ Gambling destroys all domestic habits and affections. The card playing of the country is at the bottom of more domestic infelicity than any other cause, save drinking. Children dare neglected and life is made one daily round of dissipation. It de- stroys all that is good in the soul, vitiates the whole character and drags down every lofty purpose and noble

inspiration.

ually more disastrous in results. A Chtedgo physician states that the [) wats mor eyesight is even more ccmmon than defective hearing and us- number of* “‘short-sighted’’ children in this country today runs away up ito the millions. And this great army of little weaklings may be made healthy, robust children by the timely and proper fitting of glasses! Besides defective eyes and ears there are many other nervous irritants which either escape the parents’ eyes altogether—which is almost always the case—or else they are voted too trivial to need correction. The skilled physi- cian can find them; he knows, too, that while there are quicker ways deliber- ately to wreck a child’s health there is no surer and more deadly course than the neglect of these “‘trivial’’ abnormalities. A crooked tooth sounds unimportant enough, but in a young child it may completely disarrange its bodily, mental and moral development. Proper masti-+ cation is prevented and impaired digestion with all its resultant ills and its ‘promise of permanent weakness naturally follows. The case is cited of a little girl who had grown to be a hopeless “‘Iiar.’’ She Was anemic, very delicate, and frequently ill. A careful examination revealed constant fermentation in her stomach and this was caused, it was found, by a single crooked tooth which prevented the grinding motion s® necessary to proper mastication. The fermentation of food in the stomach caused unnatural nervous re- flexes which in turn overstimulated the brain and resulted in a disordered im- agination. The child ‘‘day dreamed’ and exaggerated. The straightening of the tooth made her normal in every way. In the medical inspection of the New York City schools, it was found ‘that 39 per cent were backward. Putting the matter in the light of economy, the city was wasting $3,000,000 a year in teaching children who were physically unfit to receive an education. Examination revealed the fact that of the small army of bagkward children over 9) per cent were ‘‘dull’”’ because of physical defects. And of this considerable, almost total, number more than 9% per cent were changed from dullards into normally bright scholars by simple operatiop or physical treatment.

Economy and extravagances are not antithesis, they are closely allied. If one is not careful his economies will merge into wastefulness. Young, the poet, since he had squan- - dered so much time in his younger days, knew wherof he wrote when he de- clared, ‘‘Procrasination is the thief of time.” “Cicero,” says Disraeli, ‘‘practiced that magic art In the employment of time which multiplies our days.” That man lives the longest who gete the most hours out of every day and the most value out of every _ hour. i ‘The father of Henry George was a business failure because, as Henry Hubbard says, “he didn't know the Value of time. Other people did things while he was getting ready to commence to begin.” In this energetic age, long waits are apt to defeat great hopes. r Napoleon observed that “it is always the quarters of an hour that decide the fate of a battle.” He who knows the value of min- utes neve? wastes hours. - Montaigne measured every hour by its possibilies. Emerson says of him he “tastes every moment of the day.” _ The business world is giving much at- tention lately to system. The trouble is some of the systems are too prodigal of time Fe “principe i time is the first Too much system is often more waste- ful than not enough. ia + You will generally find that a man : Who is extravagantly economical is a + iy — at | He has no grasp on life, no apprecia- Mon of its problems and possibilities.

Leader, Hardware, One of Lord Chesterfield’s commands to his son was to “know the true value of time.” It has been said that “minutes are the mills, hours the cents, days the dollars in the mintage of eternity.’”’ The profit on time, however, is not represented by dollars entirely. Shakspeare was one who made good use of his hours. He was an economist of time. He died poor, but left a for- tune worth more than the richest Croe- sus who ever made a will, Most men who have achieved great objects have known how to coin time into profit—the profit of results. Maclaughlin Says: “The man who does everything for gain, does nothing for good.”’ And he who its inspired only by greed has not learned the first principles of the real value of time. Time gives us our opportunities—it is for us to improve them. If we disregard the minutes, the hours will overwhelm us. : To paraphrase an old saw—take care of the minutes, and the hours will take care of themselves. Then we will begin to realize, with Franklin, that “‘time is money.”’ CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. Supt. McCloud discharges Wrecking Fore- man Murray Sinclair for looting a wreck. All the men quit with Sinclair and go with him to his ranch. any disasters befall the division, which are ascribed to outlaws. President Bucks sends Whispering Smith nto the country with a free hand to clean out the outlaws. McCloud boards with Marion Sinclair (M tray’s neglected wife). who is a milliner at Medicine Bend. Whis- perin Smith is in love with Marion. Mc- Cloud in love with Dicksie Dunning. who, with her cousin, owns a ranch in the Crawl- ing Spring Valley. The Dunnings believe Sin- clair has been harshly treated by McCloud, and ascribe the troubles on the division’ to McCloud’s Chapter XII (Continued). The Quarrel. ({ AMN your survey!” said Lance Dunning, *‘I never had a plat of any such survey. I don't recognize any such survey. And if your right-of-way men had ever said a word about crossing the creek above the flume I never would have given you a right-of-way at all.” “There were never but two lines run below § the creek; after you raised objection I ran them both, and both were above the flume,” said Mc- Cloud. “Well, you can’t put a grade there. I and some of my neighbors are go- ing to dam up that basin, and the ir- rigation laws will protect our rights.’’ “I certainly can’t put a grade in be- low the flume and you refuse to talk about our crossing above it.” “I-certainly do.’’ “Why not let us cross where we are, and run a new level for your ditch that will put the flume higher up?’ “You will have to cross below the flume where it stands, or you won't cross the ranch at all.” McCloud was silent for a moment. “IT am using a supported grade there for eight miles to get over the hill within a three-tenths limit. I can’t drop hack there. We might as well not build at all if we can't hold our grace, whereas it would be very sim- ple to run a rew line for your ditch, and my engineers will do it for you without a dollar of expense to you, Mr. Dunning.” Lance Dunning waved his Hand as an ultimatum. “Cross where I tell you to cross, or keep off the Stone ranch. I* that English?” “It certain is. But in matter of fact we must cross on the survey agreed on in the contract for a right-of-way deed.” ‘T don’t recognize any contract ob- tained under false representations.”’ ‘‘Do you accuse me of false represent- ations?’ Lance Dunning flipped the ash from his cigar. ““Who are you?” “T am just a plain every day civil engineer, but you must not talk false representations in any contract drawn under my hand.’”’ “T am talking facts. Whispering Smith may have rigged the joker—I don't know. Whoever rigged it, it has been rigged all right.”’ oN “Any charge against Whispering Smith is a charge against me. HEle is not here to defend himself, but he needs no defense. You have charged me al- ready with misleading surveys. I was telephoned for this morning to come over to see why you had held tip our work, and your men cover me. with rifles while I am riding on a public road.’”’ “You have been warned, or your men have, to keep off this ranch. Your man Stevens cut our wires this morning’’—— “As he had a perfect right to do on our right-of-way.” “If you think so, stranger, go ahead again!’’ “Oh. no. We won't have civil war— not right away, at least. And if you and your men have threatened ’§ and browbeaten me enough for today, I will go ‘? “Don’t set foot on the Stone ranch again, and don’t send any men here to trespss,( mark you!” “I mark you perfectly. I did not set foot willingly on your ranch today. I was dragged on it. Where the men are grading now, they will finish their work.”’ “No, they won't.” “What, would you drive us off land you have already deeded?’ “The first man that cuts our wires or orders them cut where they were strung yesterday will get into trouble.” “Then don't string any wires on land that belongs to us, for they will certain- ly come down if you do. Lance Dunning turned in a passion. “I'll put a bullet through you if you touch a barb of Stone ranch wire!’ Stormy Gorman jumped forward with his hand covering the grip of his six- shooter. “Yes, damn you, and I'll put another!” “Cousin Lance!”” Dicksie Dunning aq- vanced swiftly into the room. “You are under our own roof, and you are wrong to talk in that way. Her cousin stared at her. “'Dicksie, this is no place for you! “It is when my cousin is in danger of forgetting he is a gentleman.” “You are interfering with what you know nothing about!"’ exclaimed Lance, angrily. “I know =“ is due to everyone un- der this roof.” “Will you be good enough to leave this room?” . “Not if there is to be any shooting or threats of shooting that involve my cou- sin.”’ “Dicksie, leave the room!” There was a hush. The cowboys dropped back. Dicksie stood motion- less. She gave no sign in her manner that she heard the words, but she looked very steadily at her cousin. “You forget yourself!” was all she said. se “I am master here: | “Also my cousin,’’ murmured Dicksie, evenly. “You don't -ungeresan< this matter at

“Cousin Lance!” “Nothing guage.”’ “Do you, think I am going to allow this railroad company to ruin this ranch while:I am responsible here? You have no business interfering, say!” “I think I have.’ “These matters are not of your af- fair!’’ “Not teners could justify your lan- of my affair?” The lis- stood riveted. McCloud felt himseif swallowing, and took a step forward with an effort as Dicksie advanced. Her hair 1loos- ened by her. ride, spread low upon her head. She stood in her saddle habit, with her quirt still in hand. ‘‘Any affair that may lead my cousin into shooting is my affair. I make it mine. This is my father’s roof. I neither know nor care anything about what led to this quarrel, but the quarrel is mine now. I will no® allow mv cousin to plunge into anvthing that may cost him his life or ruin it.’’ She turned sud- denly, and her eves fell on McCloud. “‘T am not willing to leave either myself or my cousin in a false. position. I re- gret especially that Mr. McCloud should be brought into so unpleasant a scene, because he has already suffered rudely at my own hands’’— McCloud flushed. He raised his hand slightly. “And I am very sorry for it,”’ added Dicksie, before he could speak. Then, turning, she withdrew from the room. “T am sure,” said McCloud, slowly, as he spoke again to her cousin, “‘there need be no serious controversy over the right-of-way matter. Mr. Dunning. I certainly shall not precipitate any. Sup- pose you give me a chance to ride over the ground with you again and let us see whether we can’t arrive at some conclusion ?’’ But Lance was angry, and nursed his wrath a long time. CHAPTER XIII. The Shot in the Pass. ICKSIE walked hurriedly through the dining room and out upon the rear porch. Her horse was stand. ing where she had left him. Her heart beat furiously as she caught up the reins, but she sprang into the saddle and rode rapidly away. The flood of her tem- per had brought a disregard of con- sequences; it was in the glow of her eyes, the lines of her lips, and the tre- mor of her nostrils as she breathed long and deeply on her flying horse. When she checked Jim she had rid- den miles, but not without a course nor without a purpose. Where the roads ahead of her parted to lead down the river and over the Elbow Pass to Medicine Bend, she halted within a clump of treés almost where she had first seen McCloud. Beyond the Mis- sion mountains the sun was setting in a fire like that which glowed under her eyes. She could have counted her heart- beats as the crimson ball sank below the verge of the horizon and the shaa- ows threw up the silver thread of the big river and deepened across the heavy green of the alfalfa flelds. Where Dick- sie sat, struggling with her bounding pulse and holding Jim tightly in, no one from the rakch ar, indeed, from the upeountry could pass her unseen. She was waiting for a horseman, and the sun had set but a few minutes when she heard a sharp gallop coming down the upper road from the hills.

By Copyri the sound of the hoof-beats, fled from her utterly. She was stunned by the suddenness of the crisis. She had meant to stop McCloud and speak to him, but before she could*summon her courage a tall, slender man on horseback dashed past within a few feet of her. She could almost have touched him as he flew by, and a horse less steady than Jim would have shied under her. Dicksie caught her breath. She did not know this man —she had seen only his eyes, oddly bright in the twilight as he passed—but he was not of the ranch. He must have come from the hill road, she con- cluded, down which she herself had just ridden. He was somewhere from the north, for he sat his horse like a statue and rode like the wind. But the encounter nerved her to her resolve. Some leaden moments passed, and McCloud, galloping at a far milder pace toward the fork of the roads, checked his speed as he approached. He saw a woman on horseback waiting in his path. “Mr. McCloud!” ‘‘Miss Dunning!’’ “IT could not forgive myself if I wait- ed too long to warn you that threats have been made against your life. Not of the kind you heard today. My cousin is not a murderer, and never could be, I-—am sure, in spite of his talk: but I was frightened at the thought that if anything dreadful should happen, his ndme would be brought into it. There are enemies of yours in this country to’ be feared, and it is against these that I warn you. Good-night!”’ “Surely you won't ride away without giving’ me a chance to thank you!” ex- claimed McCloud. Dicksie checked her horse. “I owe you a double debt of gratitude,”” he added, “and I am anx- ious to assure you that we desire noth- ing that will injure your terests in any way in crossing your nds.’’ “T know nothing about those matters, because my cousin manages everything. It is growing late and you have a good wav to go, so good-night.” “But you will allow me to ride back to the house with vou?” “O, no, indeed, thank you!” will soon be dark, and you are “No, no! I am quite safe and I have only a short ride. It is you who have far to go,’’ and she spoke again to Jim. who started briskly. “Miss Dunning. won't you listen just a moment? Please don’t run away!” McCloud was trying to come up with her. ‘“‘Won’t vou hear me a moment? I have suffered some little humiliation today; I should really rather be shot up than have more put on me. I am a man and you are a woman, and it is already dark. Isn't it for me to see vou safely to the house? Won't you at least pretend I can act as an escort and let me go with vou? I should make a poor figure trying to catch you on horseback’’—— Dicksie nodded naively. “With that horse.” “With anv horse—I know that,” said McCloud, keeping at her side. “Rut I can’t let you ride back with me,”’ declared Dicksie, urging Jim and looking directly at McCloud for the first time. ‘‘How could I explain?’’ “Tet me explain. I am famous for explaining,” urged McCloud, spurring, and will vou tell me what I should be doing while you were explaining?’ she asked. ‘Perhaps getting ready a first aid for the injured.” “T feel as if I ought to run away,” declared Dicksie, since she had clearly decided not to. “It will have to be a compromise, I suppose. You must not ride farther than the first gate, and let us take this trail instead of the road. Now make your horse go~as fast as you can and I’ll keep up.” But MecCloud’s horse, though not wonder, went too fast to suit his rider, who divided his efforts between check- ing him and keeping up the conversa- tion. When McCloud dismounted to open Dicksie’s gate, and stood in the twilight with his hat in his hand and his bridle over his arm, he was telling a story about Marton Sinclair, and Dick- sie in the saddle, tapping her knee with her bridle-rein, was looking down and past him, as if the light upon his face were too bright. Before she would start away she made him remount, and he said good-by only after half a prom- ise from her that she would show him sometime a trail to the top of Bridger’s Peak, with a view of the Peace River on the east and the whole Mission range and the park country on the north. Then she rode away at an amazing run, nodding back as he sat still holding his hat above his head. McCloud galloped toward the pass with one determination—that he would have a horse, and a good one, that could travel with Jim, if tt cost him his sa)- ary. He exulted as he rode, for the day had brought him everything he

At this point the southern grade of the pass winds sharply, whence its name, the Elbow; but from the head of the pass the grade may be command- ed at intervals for half a mile. Trot- ting down this road with his head in a whirl of excitement, McCloud heard the crack of a rifle; at the same instant he felt a sharp slap at his hat. Instinct works on all brave men very much alike. McCloud dropped forward in his his head low and spurred Bill Dancing’s hofse for life or death. The horse, quite amazed, bolted and swerved down the grade lik® a snipe, with his rider crouching close for @ second shot. But no second shot came, and after another mile McCloud ventured to take off i..8 hat and put his finger through the holes in it, though he did not stop his horse to make the examination. When they reached the ope country the horse had settled into a fast; long stride that not only redeemed his reputation but relieved his rider’s nerves. When McCloud entered his office it was half past nine o’clock, and the first thing he did before turning on the lights was to draw the window shades. He examined the hat again, with sen- sations that were new to him—fear, re- sentment and a hearty hatred of his enemies. But all the while the picture of Dicksie remained. He thought of her nodding to him as they parted in the saddle, and her picture blotted out all that had followed. To Be Continued in the Post. Dispatch Monday.

SUPERSTITIONS. ANY noted people have been se- MI riously inconvenienced and wor- “ried by silly superstitions. Presi- dent McKinley often declined. to make public engagements and postponed sign- ing public documents on Friday. Bis- roarck had such a veneration for the number three that he divided his work. his duties, everything possible, into three parts. He associated everything he could with that number. because to him it was a lucky one. Queen Victoria had a great fear of the cat as an ill-omen. It is said that Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family, while fond of cats, never dared to bring one to the palace or any- where that Queen Victoria happened to be staying. A beautiful Persian kitten was once presented to her’ py a little girl whom she loved very dearly, but it was never tuken into the Queen’s apartments. Lord Roberts will decline any invita- tron if he finds’ that there is a black cat in the house to which he is invited. Ellen Terry’s fear of the cat is so great that she would never allow one in any theater she was playing. She says that several times in her career black cats made their way upon the stage at re- hearsals and the plays under rehearsal a!ways proved failures. Emile Zola was an extremely supersti- tious man. His whole life was hedged about by ail sorts of ‘omens and signs. He used to carry a bit of coral as a talisman against’ the perils of thunder, fire and flood and a bloodstone to make him wise and courageous. But his talis- man finally failed him, as he met his death by suffocation from charcoal gas. The Czar of Russia does not dare to rise in the morning without having on Lis finger a ring m which is imbedded a bit of the true cross. He once stopped A train on a journey; when he discovered that he had forgotten this ring, and sent a messenger on a special train back to St. Petersburg for it. The German Emperor is superstitious about doing enything of importance on Friday, and he always postpones an engagement that has been made for him for that day, if

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. G OOD batting should win many a game won one for them yesterday afternoon, or the Browns this summer, It ~~ it seemed all was lost, be- the good. But the Browns had been threatening for three days to brekk loose with a batting streak, cause the husky Cleveland club was three i to and it came yesterday, Cleveland jumped right off the mark with a lead of three runs. The Browns were right after them and with some timely hitting made two. Then Cleve- land added two more to its total, and it befell the Browns to once more strug- gle forward under a big handicap. This they did, and finally in the sixth in- ning, through the magnificent home-run drive of little Jimmy Stephens, they tied up the score. After that it was but a question of time till they would win out, for Cleveland was ciearly beaten. The climax came in the ninth when ahora opened with a hot grounder to right field, which was followed by Hobe Ferris’ drive to the left field fence. The drive sent Hartzell home with the winning run, giving the Browns their first victory of the season, 6 to 5. There was another delightful phase to the game besides the timely hitting. ‘That was the superb pitching of Young Bill Graham, McAleer’s southpaw, who geems in line for a great season. Bill entered the game in the fourth inning after Bill Dinneen, the grand old yet- eran, had been unmercifully pounded and seemed doomed to a sure defeat. There were two men out and a runner on second when Graham entered. His team was three runs behind. He started by striking out the first man that faced him, closing that in- ning. From then on, during the five in- nings that followed, Graham didn’t give the Naps a look in. In fact there wasn’t a clean hit made off him and only one man got to first base. That was when Bill himself tried to stop a grounder pretty far to his right and kicked the ball over-to third base. That and that is the final garmie of the series with the Naps.

Louis 10, and bad f runner was tossed out trying to steal second, so Graham was never in danger from the time he entered the box. But it was up to his team mates to make up those three runs, by which Cleveland was leading, and they set about it in such a determined manner that the Naps were soon on the de- fensive, having lost all the spirit and aggressiveness that characterized their play in the first two games and in the first part of the third. Stephens’ Drive Gives Browns He ‘ HEY were rewarded in the sixth inning much more quickly than they had expected. In fact it so suddenly that the spectators into an uproar of en- year. Hoffman had started with a sin- gle and Wallace flied out. Williams emashed a hot grounder that got past Lajoie and sent Danny to second. Little Jimmy Stephens was next and, ‘houzh a gentle boy at all times, there are none more spirited than he when in a ball game, He selected one of Berger's shoots that suited him and with all his might. In a line started for the fence in left Outfielder Lord was after it on the jump, but he never got near it. It went spinning to the fence and bounded along the boards as though trying to evade the angered Cleveland pursuer, ball - dnd before it could be relayed in little Jimmy was crossing the home plate, having * driven in Hoffman and Wil- liams ahead of him and tied up the score. Cleveland seemed to lose spirit after that and changed pitchers the next in- Be : ning. But the Browns had only begun “e ern collegiate world, will © Missouri A. C. + meet at the Missouri A. C, «ing.

Hartzell singled to right and Ferris lammed the ball to the left fleld fence and it was all over before any one was out. Te all indications Big Bill Dinneen will net be ready to help the Browns a great deal for some time to come. He Was sent into the pitcher’s box yester- Gay because Manager McAleer wanted right-hander against the Cleveland club and save his left-handers fer the Chicago White Sox, who come —. But Big Bill wasn't at all ready ae n't put the needed run over in. ‘| -ceither the seventh or eighth inning, but Unlooked-for Chance to Win and he will now be permitted to take his time to get into condition. He didn’t have that old speed and he needs it, because it was the fast ball that made him one of the greatest pitchers in the game, when he was a member of the Boston champions. Yesterday he had a little curve ball and not much more. He tried to make i: win against a heavy hitting club and, of course, the batters fell upon it. They were hitting the ball on the nose and to all parts of the field, and Big Bill Was yanked out, though the game seemed lost then. But when Graham showed such class against a team of heavy right-handed hitters the fellows all became spirited again and started out to overcome the lead, for there was little chance that Cleveland would add more runs with Graham flinging such classy ball. Bill will likely be one of the best pitchers on McAleer’s staff, this season. Cleveland should hit him, if any club can, for nearly all of players are right-handed hitters. However, Bill handed them his beau- tiful cposs-fire delivery and they were lost. He made the fast ball hot off the lower outside corner of the plate. Then he would bend one down around the batter’s knees and next float a slow one across the waistline. It was beautiful pitching, as fine as anyone could ask, and if Graham keeps it up he wiii be one of the best in the League. McAleer has Bailey and Waddell to open the series against the White Sox, and Powell and Graham wil! each have a chance at them, too. If his pitchers improve and the club continues to hit as it has in the first three games, the Browns will be in the fight from the start. the Cleveland BROWNS OWE VICTORY TO THIS BATTER "HORE. FERRIS _ Speed and Slim Sallee Can Aid Even Cardinals A in A - CHICAGO, April 17.—Big Ed Ruelbacn and Rhodes are the likely pitchers for the fourth baseball battle of the season between the Chicago Cubs and the Bt. Louis Cardinals this afternoon. Up to date the Cardinals have won one out of three games, thanks tq the great pitch- ing of a slim Sallee, whom Manager Roger sent to the mound in yesterday’s game. Sallee has everyhing that a pitcher wants. He had the world’s champions breaking their backs swinging at his wide curves and his control was well nigh perfect. The final score was 3 to 1, but it does not begin to indicate how decisive was the St. Louisan’s victory. Sallee allowed but four hits. Hagerman was Manager Chance’s se- lection for pitcher yesterday. The big fellow certainly showed up in fine form, but no pitcher could stop the Cardinals the way they played ball yesterday. They were as fast on the bases as a streak and the best of it seemed to be the fact that everything they did just worked out as it should. For instance, Bresnahan gave the signal for the hit- arnd-run and it worked to perfection. Speed Helps Cardinals, It was a revelation and the Cardinals pleased the crowd mightily. It was hardly to be expected that Bresnahan’s ycung men, fresh from the minors, could put up such an exhibition. The Cubs played faultless ball, but they were sim- ply outhustled. It was in the fourth inning that the vs v Cardinals fell on Hagerman like a pack of hungry canines, and when they trot- ted out to the fleld at the end of the inning a big three was hung up on the scoreboard, which gave them the game. To start off the fireworks, Bresnahan said a few things to his men before Bobby Byrne went to bat at the start of the fourth. Byrne was, indeed, a most careful young man and refused to bite on any of Hagerman’s twisters. As a result he was allowed to amblie to first when the big Cub recruit tried to cut the corners. Shaw camé along with a single and Bresnahan sacrificed neat- ly. Koney lifted out a long fly to the outfield, but little Bobby Byrne was able to scamper home without being pressed to exceed the speed limit. Evans then cracked out andother hit and Shaw scored. To make matters worse, Ha- german faltered and Delehanty walked. This was not bad policy, considering that Delehanty got twe of the Cardi- nals’ three hits on the day previous. Then up came Mr. Charles, who slammed out a ringing hit that allowed Evans to cross the rubber with the third run. It was Joe Tinker who finally came to Hagerman’s rescue and stopped the Cardinals’ fun when he made a phenom- enal catch of Osteen’s hard-hit liner. The champions fought hard, but they never had a chance. Their one run came in the third inning, when Zimmer- man doubled and scored on Hagerman’s single. Qua CLEVELAND. Name H.

The Sox are in equally unfortunate condi- tion, however. Dinneen must work in priyate for some time before being tried out again. He was a mile from being ready. Stephens started out fumbling badly and contributed to Big Bill's bad show- ing in the first. A dropped third strike at the outset and a passed ball did not help much.

Perrine, the new umpire, has not had many bouquets handed him,aithough the little man has done very well in the three days of his stay here. Very few kicks have been registered against him, either while officiating on the baseg or behind the bat. George Stone had the issue put uD te him again in yesterday's game. With men on the bases, George waited unti three balls we-. called on the pitcher ithe bout. Jeanette — —— Two strikes were laid over on him. George then fouled off a bad one—it would have been a ball and a run would have crossed the plate. Stone hit the next ball hard, but, unfortunately, it Was not quite out of Lord’s reach. Tom Jones was the only man of the top members of the batting order who could not hit the spitball pitching of the Clevelands. Tom had a dandy chance, with the bases full, to drive in victory, but a little roller to the pitcher was his best. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Standing of the Clubs.

CHICAGO, April 17.—It’s all settled. Battling Nelson and Packey McFarland, who have been stewing to the boiling- over point about the terms of a pro- posed fight, signed articles for James Cofforth of Colma, Cal., here yester- day. The champion and his lightweight *ri- val agreed to fight on the afternoon of July 5 at Cofforth’s club, California. The match is scheduled for 4 rounds, which is virtually a finish fight. The men agree to weigh in at 133 pounds six hours before the fight. In a preliminary agreement the men had parted with the understanding tha‘ they were to fight winner take all. At yesterday’s conference, however, it was decided that the purse be split 75 and 25 per cent to winner and loser respect- ively. The fighters get no guarantee, but will take 6 per cent of the gate re- ceipts, which means that they will battle for about $25,000, according to Cofforth’s estimate. McFarland has been gaining weight for months, and all the haggling be- tween the two men was due to his de- sire to get as favorable conditions as possible. The present arrangement will permit him to enter the ring weighing about 136 pounds—at which figure he should be strong. McFarland is one of the cleverest fighters in the game. But few of his admirers think he will stand the gaff with the iron Dane, who has time and again proven that bulldog tenacity and wonderful endurance can make up for many mere faults of boxing. -. - MOTORING By Nelson T. Gutelius The annual meeting of ‘the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers’ and Dealers’ Association will be held at the Washing- ton Hotel Tuesday night, April 20, at 8 o'clock. Officers for the ensuing year will then be elected and a new constitu- tion and by-laws will be aaopted, pre- paratory to the incorporation of the as- sociation. Leo Chapman, one of the city sales- men of the Buick Motor Co., has been selling, on the average, a car a day. Friday he sold a Buick model 10 run- about to Will H. Boehmer of the Boeh- mer Coal Co, 4 Olds Motor Works’ St. Louis branch Friday sold the following cars to George Daugherty of Oblong, Lll., who made a contract to act as the agent for Olds- mobiles in three counties in Southeastern Illinois: $1250 touring car, $2000 35-horse- power touring car, 40-horsepower road- ster, $2350 40-horsepower refined road- ster, $2750; 40-horsepower palace touring car. Oblong is located in the newly dis- covered oil field in Southeastern Illinois. Mr. Daugherty, accompanied by Joseph Lee and R. G. Rogers, with “Bruff’’ Ollin, Oldsmobile factory expert, driving, journeyed in the small Olds touring car to Oblong Friday, a distance of 90 miles. Cause of Tire Troubles. “The practice of branding Firestone tires with the proper air pressure is making a hit with the men who pay their good money for tires,” said J. P. Trader, the local Firestone manager. “On account of the great damage done to tires by running them improperly in- flated, we have always most strongly advecated keeping them pumped up to a regular fixed schedule of air pressure based upon the size of tire and weight of load. We have now gone one bet- ter and are branding the alr pressure on the side of Firestone tites where the chauffeur can see it staring him in the face every time he applies the pump. “The air pressures which we recom- mend are, for 3%-inch tires, 60 pounds; for 4 inch tires, 7% pounds; for 4%-inch tires, 85 pounds; for §-inch tires, 90 pounds, and for 5%-inch tires, 9% pounds. “It is an actual fact that not enough inflation is the direct cause of two- thirds of tire troubles today. The chauf- feur whose tires show the correct air pressure always before him in cold type is the man who can’t forget and whose tire bills, if he has good enough tires to begin with, are bound to be less at the end of the year.” intimin The Post-Dispatch is the only evening hewspaper in St. Louls a nonetwes or pad: lishes news gathered by the ssociated E a ress. Se American Fighters Will Battle to Finish Before Paris Fight Fans BY JOHN POLLOCK. NEW YORK, April 17.-A finish fight will be pulled off in Paris tonight at the Cirque de” Paris, and as the prin- cipals are American pugilists who are well known in this country, much inter- est is therefore taken in the bsacttha the battle by the yreraenond of Pp m on this side of the Atian The fighters are Joe Jeanette and Sam McVey, the colored heev) the saad fought a 2%-round scrap ip McVey being awarded the decision tu fight him to a finish and after much trouble McVey consented to take him on. This is the first finish battle that will have taken place since Bob Fitz- simmons beat Jim Corbett at Carson City on March 17, 1897, for the heavy. weight title. nl Two important fights will be brought off in California next month, at the Colma A. C. The first, which will be a %-round bout between Billy Papke ana Hugo Kelly, the Chicago middleweight, will occur on May 15, while the second will be a 4-round scrap between Bat. | tling Nelson and Fighting Dick Hylana in another battle tonight. Sam Langford, the colored middleweight, ie 2 Co WRAY S > LV PAN. HE fact that Manager Jeems Mc- é Aleer was so hoarse he could not speak is not believed to have been the cause of the Browns’ victory yester- day. Cleveland would like to offer an amendment to the proposed plan to alter ‘the location of the new diamond. In- stead of moving it out, Cleveland wants the fences moved in, since seeing Jimmy Stephens in action. Aren’t baseball clubs the generous things? Yesterday Bill Dinneen didn't have a thing; but the synipathetic Clevelandefs turned right around and handed It to him. > Many pirsons thought that Harry Howell never would be missed, if strick- en from the list. But this morning Manager McAleer awakens and finds himself without a man to put in the box, except Bill Balley. Bill’s best imitation of a pitcher, so far, has been of the retreat from Moscow sort. With that new catcher of his, Napo- leon Lajoie hopes to Land the pennant, Presumably it’s all at sea now. Graham's shape would not win him many jobs as an artist's model; but, strange to say, his form now is fine. Grahafh is destined to acquire a nick- name, if he isn’t more careful. “‘Incu- bator Bill’’ is the way Cleveland has him figured, because his pitghing is 80 productive of souls. Cleveland during the series; their team batting average was .204 to .188; their flelding percentage for the se- ries was .976 to .960. Officially neither team was credited with a stolen base. And yet St. Louis won but a single game. As the Browns played good baseball except on the bases, the inevitable con- clusion is that this time it was really bad fortune that cost the club the se- ries, As a sort of corollary, the Blues will have to get into better form at the bat before they can be serious pennant con- tenders with the Tiger terrors. Tc Browns made 30 hits to 18 for One swallow doesn’t make a summer— it creates a thirst, though. The one victory of yesterday and the manner in which it was made does not spell a pen- nant, but it increases hope of one. Also it wards off the muttering agains the Browns that was so catecennenal growing. Why need the fan tear hip hair if the Browns lose four or five or six games? Did not Detroit lose eight out of ten games at the begining of last season? Something like that. And they won.the pennant. And did not the Browns last year do to Cleveland pre- eisely what the Blues 4id to our Brownies this: season, win the first two games of the opening series? Save your breath to cool the porridge aa the season waxes real hot. Baseball is in deadly fear that the gambling goblin will get it. Yesterday at New York City # detectives were cn the lookout for betting In the grand- stand at the Polo Grounds. They ar- ested three men and the charges against these have yet to be proven. There is ro chance for gambling to ever be a menace to baseball under present condi- tions. Open betting and slates killed racing, not private wagers. Open bet- ting cannot exist on baseball, the promoters of the game derive any revenue from such a source. , Betting on baseball is a real manifestation of — enthusiasm; racetrack speculation is due to a desire of gain. ENTLEMEN who think they can (Gj figure baseball! odds should glance over some of the happenings in during exciting times of a season's race. The year the White Sox and the Cubs played for the world’s title the Cubs — were 3 to 1 to win in Chicago at the start of the series. The Sox won. Last year, in the crucial series be- tween the Sox and the Tigers, even though the Sox had already won two out of the three games from Detroit, and seemed to have more than joyed any percentage cf strength may have been entitled to, the betting on the final game was 8 to 5 that De- troit would not win. De.roit won. Yes- terday the money changers thought lightly of Roger Bresnahan aad of- fered as high as 3 to 1 on Chicago, overlooking the fact that the Cubs had already enjoyed their proper percentage of victories, two in three, and that they had already used their best pitch- ers, while the Cardinals’ best war dog had not been unleashed. The Cardinals won—even the Cardinals. Now if you think there ig two to one in baseball, look the situation o carefully and then rake it over wi a fine tooth comb. It is an axiom > baseball that the only time any major league club is worth 2 to 1, for a single game, over another, no matter what their standing, is when the strong team is using its best pitcher and the weak one is breaking in a recruit. —_——~ monologue, when listened to sounds like a defective re. Rube’s carefully, cord. Waddell, in his disquisition, has a very graphic description of a “head-on collusion,” which he asserts hig train experienced following the fatal game in which he hit Harry Gleason on. the sconce with a™“pitched ball. The experience with Gleason; Rube adds, taught him one thing—that it hurts to hit a man on the head, but “it’s all right to hit him in the body.” The only corroborative evidence of the last assertion would probably come from Dan McGann. Dan could eat giass and have harpons thrown into him |without starting a perspiration. BIG FIELD IN CROSS COUNTRY Twenty-three men will compete in the annual Western A. A. U. cross-country run which will be held in Forest Park this afternoon, under the auspices of the Missouri A. C. It is generally conceded that the race is really a four-cornered contest In which Joe Forshaw and Joe Erxleben of the Missouri A. C. and Ir- win Biel of the Central Y. M. C. A. and Jack Cannon of the Kansas City A. C. have the best chance to win. The start and finish will be at the Triple A. club- house. Dr. C. W. Bassett, athletic di- rector of the Missouri A. C., will fire the starting shot’ at 2:30 p. m. Jack Cannon is credited with having a great chance to finish first because of his great work in the annual Western A. A. U. outdoor meets in which, on two occasions, he won the mile run, beating the best men in St. Louis rather easily. He is a long-striding fellow who gererally sets a terrific pace right from the start. He will no doubt do likewise today, but he will need phenomenal en- durance to get over all the hills that he will be asked to climb. Biel had the satisfaction of beating a ig field in the Catholic Club run from Cc. B. C. to Grand avenue and Olive street last New Year’s day. Erxleben Ee ee ae ‘DR. KING $2231 MED. ASSN. corp. $i.

SP'eratcy eS ie ee A fe Pube: 7 RESIDENT PLANS | WESTERN TRE TO COST $17,000 : - | Journey Depends Upon Congress Paying Traveling Expenses. ~ WASHINGTON, April 17.—President Taft, who believes the Chief Magistrate of the nation should keep in as close con- tact with the people as the duties and requirements of the office permit, is ‘planning a notable trip during the late Summer and early autumn, provided Congress decides to continue the annual appropriation of $25,000 for traveling ex- penses, allowed in the closing years of the Roosevelt administration. *The President's plans as far as Aug. 356, have been completed. Mr. Taft wil! leave Washington as soon as he can ar- Tange matters after the adjournment of Congress and has been told that the ex- ‘tra session will end June 1. The Presi- gent will go direct from the White House to his summer home at Wood- Dury Point, Beverly, Mass., and will d two months or more there as “@uletly and as free from official worry as possible. He will devote most of his vacation to golfing, motoring and per- haps will take short cruises along the Northern coast. The reassembled At- lantic fleet of 16 battleships will ma- meuver off the New England coast in the summer and the President undoubt- Sdly will want to see some of the work of the ironclads. = Trip to Be Expensive. = The trip the President desires to, make the West in the late summer will be entirely too expensive to be paid for Gut of his own pocket. An outline of the proposed itinerary has been given to a high raflroad official and an esti- mate requested. It is said the cost would be in the neighborhood of $15,000 to $17,000. If he goes West at all, the President will include Alaska in the ) journey, sailing from Seattle, probably on a vessel of the navy or revenue cut- ter service. No President has ever vis- fied the Far Northern Territory which for so long has en a part of the United States. e President has been invited te, and is particularly anxious t> attend the following gatherings: “The annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Salt Lake City, Utah. %, The Trans-mississippi Conference Denver. “The National Irrigation Congress at Seattle and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at the same city. In addition to his proposed visit to the Rocky Mountain States and to the Pacific Coast, the President’s tentative plans for the trip incfude along swing through the Southwest and the heart of » the South itself. / Mrs. Taft, who is as fond of travel os her husband, would accompany the President on the tour. “English of Their American Sisters, sserts Noted Novelist Mrs. Sherard Says Englishmen Prefer toWed Uncle Sam’s Daughters. U.S. Girls to Succeed in London Must Be Strong Enough to Defy Their Sex. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. NEW YORK, April 1b. “Englishmen prefer to marry Ameri- can wives because it isn’t a day's work to talk to an American woman. Con- vergation with an English woman is too much like working for your living.”’ So Mrs. Robert Harborough-Sherard, herself an American woman, but the widow of one noted Englishman and but recently the bride of another, com- } pared the women of her own country with those of England. I saw Mrs. Harborough-Sherard, who is better known to the literary world as “Irene, Osgood,’’ author of “‘Servitude” and “‘To a Nun Confessed,"’ at the Hotel Plaza, where she and her English hus- band are guests. The novelist has come to America to make a study of the self- made millionaire, who will be the hero Oo. her next Mrs. Sherard is an unusually pretty voman, who combines an acquired pre- cision of speech due to her long resi- dence in England with a Southern soft- ness of tone due to her early years in Richmond, Va., where she was born.

The odds against her are too great. No American woman can succeed in London unless she is strong erough to defy the women. The men all like her, of course, be- cause she has so much vitality, so much wit. An American girl who meets an Englishman judges him at a glance. She knows at once what will interest him, and the result is he is surprised and charmed y the fact that he can talk to her without feeling as .* he had done a day’s work. “American women are so much broad- jealous of er minded than English women that it Women is ditficult for them to understand the femfhine attitude toward them in En- gland.

Happiness is the only thing a woman wins in the war of the sexes. She wins it by wiles and coquetries. You must have realized that it is impossible for a woman to tell the truth to a man. He simply will not take it from her. He does not want it. He resents it. And one of the saddest moments in a wom- an’s life is when she realizes that the man she loves practically requires her to lie to him.’’ “Why does she have to?” lated.

Things have changed about since the ancient days, when woman was the stronger sex, and coddled and petted and protected man. Now she has to permit herself to be petted and coddied. But, of course, of all women in the world American women have the most dignified position.”’ “Yet visiting English women, particu- larly suffragettes, have criticized us for being indifferent to politics.” “And why should you not be? It is to the credit of the American woman that she refuses to follow the shrieking methods of the English women in poli- tics. “What can a lot of women gaih by chaining themselves to the gates of Par- liament? Women have far too many chains already. , “I believe in suffrage based on educa- tion and responsibilities, irrespective of sex. I employ about thirty men at Guilsborough Hall, my place in North- ampten, and each one of them can vote and I cannot. Of course, that is ridic- ulous.

WOMAN’S BODY FOUND BESIDE RAILROAD; HUSBAND IS HELO His Brother and Son Also Under Suspicion—Woman Was In- sured for $5000. SEATTLE, Wash., April 17.—Three ar- rests were made yesterday upon orders of Coroner Snyder after he had investi- gated the finding of the mutilated body of Mrs. Vandla Kalem strewn for 20) yards along the tracks of the Northern Pacific Railroad at Stuck. a few miles south of Auburn. Those being held un- der suspicion are Henry Kalem, the husband of the dead woman; John Ka- lem, his brother, and John Kalem, his 17-year-old son. all three of whom were at Stuck Thursday night when the wom- an came to her death. The Coroner has information which leads him to believe Mrs. Kalem was not the victim of accidental death dnd that she did not commit suicide. Her life was insured for $6000 in her husband's favor.

Louls Wahlbrinck, who came near be- ing nominated for president of the Board of Assessors by the Republican party, saw another job—the clerkship of the House of Delegates—slip away from him as a result of the Republican cau- cus on the House organization Friday. Wahlbrinck believes that he was de- prived of his second chance for political honors by the ‘fine Italian hand” of Dwight Davis, former member of the House. He is solacing himself now. with hope of being chief clerk in the Board of Assessors’ office. The temporary organization for Mayor Kreismann’s inauguration was: Rom- bauer, Speaker: Dwight Davis, Clerk; Wahlbrinck, Sergeant-at-Arms; Daniel Corbett, Assistant Clerk, and Theron Catlin, page.

Ex-President of Argentine Dies, NEW YORK, April 17.—Senor Don Miguel Juarez Celman, President of the Argentine Republic from 1886 until 1899, when he resigned after a revolution, WIFE OF ELT Former Racing Man Declares That Spouse Treated Him “With Disdain,” -_—--—_——__. Alleging intolerable indignities, C. A. Tilles, capitalist, formerly of thee Cella, Adier & Tilles racetrack concern, has filed suit in the Cireult Court for di- vorce from Corinne L. Tilles, whom he married Oct. 17, 1901. The petition was filled by former Judge Henry W. Bond, attorney for Tilleg. It recites that Mrs. Tilles’ behavior toward her husband has been “disdain- ful and contemptuous and that she has treated him with contumely.” Tilles declares his wife's conduct toward him }has been so cruel that he is injured in health, bodily and physically. He sets forth that Mrs. Tilles has refused to live with him for a year. The plaintiff avers that he always has treated his wife affectionately and has supported and cared for her. Mrs. Tilles, who came from Quimcy, Ill., is a petite blonde. Last spring she instituted divorce proceedings, through Judge Bond's law firm, but withdrew the suit in a few weeks. In her petition Mrs. Tilles made a most unusual plea for sympat} +tic consideration by the court. She stated that she. was endowed by nature with a supersensitive physical and nervous organization which ren- dered her particularly Hable to suffer ju body and mind from any laek of con- sideration and delicacy in the attitude toward her of those to whom she bore a close relation. Such misbehavior as she charged against her husband was caused, she declared, ‘“‘by his refusal to recognize her peculiar physical and mental organization and by his purpose to chastise and discipline her without regard and without any consideration of the danger.of so doing.’’ Deputy Shriff David Kretchmar, to whom was given the task of serying the divorce papers Friday afternoon, was ab- sent from the courtroom just 15 minutes. He announced that he had found Mrs. Tilles in a downtown office and served the papers. Attorney William G. Schol- field is attorney for Mrs. Tilles in the proceedings.
