Mother’s Trip to Save His Life, Then to Reach HomeBefore | Death, Both Vain.

Four policemen were at Union Station morning to meet Iron Moun- train No. 18 due at 7:15 o'clock, to the Morgue the body of boy whe died during the night reute from Hoxie, Ark. The train conductor had wired that the infant died in the Pullman without medical attention, no physician being ep board. Sunday morning Mrs. Ida Fetchler of 3411 Lawton avenue started for Hoxie with her baby, Earl Gabel Fetchler, 4 months old. The child was suffering from tuberculosis. “Take the baby the docter had advised. get well in this climate.” Mrs. Fetchler has a sister living at Hoxie. Spring in that section ts far advanced, Many flowers are in bloom, the air is balmy and the young mother believed the baby might have a chance for lige there. On the trip to Hoxie the child's con- dition gr¢w worse. Arriving at her des- tination, Mrs. Fetchler joined her sis- ter, and a physician was called at once. The Arkansas doctor looked at the baby and said: ‘He cannot live. It is merely a ques- tion of a few days—possibly only a few hours.”’ Mrs. Fetchler, determined that child should not die away frem home if could prevent it, engaged a Pulil- man berth on the northbound train and started back to St. Louis, after only a few hours in Hoxie. At 1:30 a. m. the child died, and the mother kept watch beside the tiny body through the rest of the night as the train sped up through the swamp section and the Ozark foothills. It was a very big wagon that took &a very little body to the morgue.

Time flies. An alarm clock with wings is doing velunteer service in the Cab- anne residence district and early rising is the rule now at the homes of William Woods Dings at 5470 Clemens avenue and Alex H. Lewis, who lives next door. For two weeks a woodpecker hés been trying to bore a hole in the sheet-copper covering of a cupola on the roof of the Dings residence. Disregarding union regulations, he goes to work at 5 a. m. Boys in the neigliborhood, led by Mr. Lewis’ two sons, have organized a bean- shooter brigade, but up to: this time they have wasted much ammunition witheut result. “Every time they scare him away, we think we've seen the last of him, but the next merning he is there again ham- mering away and waking us all up,” Mrs. Lewis declared Monday. ‘Mrs. Dings has helped the boys in their ef- fort to ‘shoo’ him away, but he seems to have made up his mind to bore through that copper, and nothing can stop him.

Nature lovers in the neighberhood Nave watched the bird through field glasses, and they have identified him as a flicker, known also as the golden- winged woodpecker, yellow hammer. high holder, pigeon woodpecker and yucca. Birds of this species frequently bore holes tn big trees, but this is the firs: time residents ef Cabanne ever saw one attempt to puncture anything as hard as sheet copper. “Tam getting dewn to my office early these mornings,’’ said Mr. Dings. “That birds routs me out of bed at 5 o'clock.

NIEDRINGHAUS DEULINES PLACE UN POLICE BOARD Hadley Gets’ Rejection of Appointment in Letter, but Still Hopes.

Frem 2 Staff Correspondent of the Post-Disyate’. JEFFERSON CiTY, April 19.—In a letter to Gov. Hadley today, Thomas K. Nié@rtmehause declines to serve as” president of the Board of Police Com; missioners. Niedringhaus, formerly chairman of the Republican State Com- mittee, was appointed to succeed Ben- jamin Gray, whose term expired in January. Gov. Hadley called Niedringhaus on the long-distance telephone at noon and urged him to reconsider his decision. Asks Personal Interview, “TI should like to have a personal in- terview before you make up your mind finally,’ said the Gevernor. “All right,’ replied Niedringhaus. ‘‘I don’t see how I can possibly accept. My busines affairs are such that they require my undivided attention.” In response to the Governors sugges- tion, Niedringhaus said he probably wil! come here to talk the matter over. If Niedringhaus adheres to his re- fusal to serve as president of the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners, Gov. Hadley probably will offer the po- sition to Robert M.~ Fulten, formerly Chief Postoffice Inspector at St. Louis. Gov. Hadley and Mr. Fulton are warm personal friends. During the course of his visit here a few weeks ago Mr. Fulton discussed St. .Louis police affairs with the Gov- ernor and was premised that if the lat- ter insisted on him accepting a police commissionership he would not refuse it. Fulton requested, however, that the Governor seek others who ceuld better afford to give adequate attention to the duties of the office. Other Board Vacancy Puzzling. Following the positive declination of R. M. Fulton to accept the place, Gov. Hadley is making renewed efforts to find an election commissioner in St. Louis to succeed Benjamin Schnurmacher, who has expressed a desire to rftire from the Board at the Geverner's ear- liest convenience. “T have nobody in view fer the posi- tion at this time,’’ said the Governor today. “When I learned that Mr. Ful- ton was eligible I urged him to accept, but he refused. I asked him also to con- sider a police commissiorfership and he declined again, although I do not re- gard his answer in this instance as final. Later on if there is a vacancy on the board Mr. Fulton may consent te serve. It is not an y matter to find the right men fo ese positions.” The Governor remarked that he was open to méeuations Seana a new Election Commissioner.

Two advance guards precede the main body of the soldiers. One is composed of 300 men, half of whom are officers, while the other numbers 1000 men. These two colymns are expected to occupy Pera and Galata, the foreign and offi- cial quarters of Constantinople, as soon as possible in order to protect foreign- ers in the event of rioting. Many of the troops in Constantinople favor the Young Turks and resistance is hardly expected. A circular telegram has been received at the foreign embassies from Gen. Husni Pasha, commanding the Saloniki army, dated Dedeaghatch, Saturday, in “I have the honor to Inform you re/ corps in marching on Constantinople, is merely for the definite re-establishment of the constitution, which is sacred. to all true Ottomans and the legaé pun- ishment of the cursed authors of the sanguinary disorder by the reaction of which humanity has always suffered. “Be certain, excellency, that the lives and property of foreigners, the honored guests of our dear fatherland, will be safeguarded, and that tranquility and security will be assured the entire pop- ulation.” The Saloniki branch of the Committee of Union and Progress has addressed a strongly worded telegram to the Sul- tan, practically imputing to him a viola- tion of his oath to uphold the constitu- tlon. Many batallions of the garrison at Constantinople, it is stated, are show- ing repentance at their recent acts. They now declare they were misled into be- lieving that the Sheri laws and the con- stitution were in danger. This is regard- ed as a hopeful sign that the garrison will abstain from further violence. Missionaries Killed at Fire.

The child was suffering from tuberculosis. “Take the baby the docter had advised. get well in this climate.” Mrs. Fetchler has a sister living at Hoxie. Spring in that section is far advanced. Many flowers are in bloom, the air is balmy and the young mother believed the baby might have a chance for lige there. On the trip to Hoxie the child's con- dition grew worse. Arriving at her des- tination. Mrs. Fetchler joined her sis- ter, and a physician was called at once. The Arkansas doctor looked at the baby and said: “He cannot live. It is merely a ques- tlon of a few days—possibly only a few hours.”’ Mrs. Fetchier, determined that her child should not die away frem home if could prevent it, engaged a Pull- man berth on the northbound train and started back to St. Louis, after only a few hours in Hexie. At 1:30 a. m. the child died, and the mother kept watch beside the tiny body through the rest of the night as the train sped up through the swamp section and the Ozark foothills. It was a very big wagon that took a very little body to the morgue.

NIEDRINGHAUS DECLINES PLACE N POLICE BOARD , Hadley Gets Rejection of Appointment in Letter, but Still Hopes.

Frem 2 Staff Correspondent of the Post-Disyates. JEFFERSON CiTY, April 19.—In a letter to Gov. Hadley today, Thomas K. Nfé@rtmehause declines to serve as” president of the Board of Police Com; missioners. Niedringhaus, formerly chairman of the Republican State Com- mittee, was appointed to succeed Ben- jamin Gray, whose term expired in January. Gov. Hadley called Niedringhaus on the long-distance telephone at noon and urged him to reconsider his decision. Asks Personal Interview, “T should like to have a personal in- terview before you make up your mind finally,’’ said the Gevernor. “All right,’’ replied Niedringhaus. ‘'I don’t see how I can possibly accept. My busines affairs are such that they require my undivided attention.” In response to the Governors sugges- tion, Niedringhaus said he probably will! come here to talk the matter over. If Niedringhaus adheres to his fusal to serve as president of the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners, Gov. Hadley probably will offer the po- sition to Robert M.- Fulton, formerly Chief Postoffice Inspector at St. Louis. Gov. Hadley and Mr. Fulton are warm personal friends. During the course of his visit here a few weeks ago Mr. Fulton discussed St. Louis police affairs with the Gov- ernor and was premised that if the lat- ter insisted on him accepting a police commissionership he would not refuse it. Fulton requested, however, that the Governor seek others who ceuld better afford to give adequate attention to the duties of the office. Other Board Vacancy Puzzling. Following the positive declination of R,. M. Fulton to accept the place, Gov. Hadley is making renewed efforts to find an election commissioner in St. Louis to succeed Benjamin Schnurmacher, who has expressed a desire to retire from the Board at the Geverner’s ear- liest convenience. “IT have nobody in view fer the posi- tion at this time,’’ said the Governor today. ‘“‘When I learned that Mr. Ful- ton was eligible I urged him to accept, but he refused. I asked him also to con- sider a police commissiorfership and he declined again, although I do not re- Kard his answer in this instance as final. Later on if there is a vacancy on the board Mr. Fulton may consent te serve. It is not an 'y matter to find the right men fo ese positions.”’ The Governor remarked that he was open to suggestions garding a new Election Commissioner. COUSHS UP A FISHBONE AND IN EXCITEMENT SWALLOWS IT Miss Virgil Yowell of 173 Dolman Street, 24 years old, applied fer admis- Sion to the City’ Hospital at 9:20 o'clock Sunday evening, telling the door at- tendant that she ‘had a fishbone in her threat. She was taken into the recep- tion room, where immediately she suf- fered a violent fit ef coughing, which rendered her unable to telf the doctor what was the trouble. The physician, however, seeing that she was choking, administered first ald by slapping her soundly between the shoulders. This relieved the coughing promptly. When Miss Yowell was te tk re-

Abdication as we Head of Church Proclaims Rul Troops March Upon Capital.

SULTAN IS REPORTED TO HAVE FLED THE COUNT

.* Thirty Thousand Troops Turks Are Nearing Constantinople and Rebellion Seems Assured of Success. Upholding Yourig

— order to prevent general bloodshed. The —— warships stationed at S COnsTANTINaMun April 19.—It is expected in Constantinople this morning that the main body of troops loyal to the Young Turks that have concentrated owside of Constantinople will begin soon to march across country on Yildiz Kiosk, with the object of forcing the abdication of the Sultan. 1 to the Young Turks continued their advance on Constanti- nople last night and it is believed here that they soon will occupy Makrikeny, a town 10 miles from the capital. Two advance guards precede the main body of the soldiers. One is composed of 300 men, half of whom are officers, while the other numbers 1000 men. These two colymns are expected to occupy Pera and Galata, the foreign and offi- cial quarters of Constantinople, as soon as possible in order to protect foreign- ers in the event of rioting. Many of the troops in Constantinople favor the Young Turks and resistance is hardly expected. A circular telegram has been received at the foreign embassies from Gen. Husni Pasha, commanding the Salonik!i army, dated Dedeaghatch, Saturday, in Which he says: “I have the honor to Inform you re/ spectfully that the object of the army corps in marching on Constantinople, is merely for the definite re-establishment of the constitution, which is sacred. to all true Ottomans and the legaé pun- ishment of the cursed authors of the sanguinary disorder by the reaction of which humanity has always suffered. ‘Be certain, excellency, that the lives and property of foreigners, the honored guests of our dear fatherland, will be safeguarded, and that tranquility and security will be assured the entire pop- ulation.”’ The Saloniki branch of the Committee of Union and Progress has addressed & Strongly worded telegram to the Sul- tan, practically imputing to him a viola- tion of his oath to uphold the constitu- tlon. Many batallions of the garrison at Constantinople, it is stated, are show- ing repentance at their recent acts. They now declare they were misled into be- lieving that the Sheri laws and the con- stitution were in danger. This is regard- ed as a hopeful sign that the garrisen will abstain from further violence. Missionaries Killed at Fire. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 19.—The American Vice-Consul at Mersina, John Debbas, reports that the disorders at Adana are quieting down. The two American missionaries, D. M. Rogers and Mr. Maurer. were killed Thursday afternoon while attempting to extinguish a fire in the house of an aged Turkish woman. They were shot dead. The missions at Adana and Tar- sus &re now receiving adequate protec- tion. Mersina is anxiously awaiting re- lef. The killed at Adana are estimated at more than 1000, but no particulars of the massacre yet are available. Constantinople Is Apathetic. Copyright, 1900, by the Press Pub. Co.

An ice cream was is on in East Al- ton and a big plate of the chilly con- fection which used to cost a dime can now be bought for 5 cents. The price-cutting started when Harry Mulligan entered into competition with T. J. Philbrick, who heretofore has had the frapped field pretty much to him- self. Mulligan is a farmer and his_ ice cream business is only a side line. Hav- ing cows of his own, he obtained his raw

WOMAN Wail WAS 70) MARRY BAKER

Declares She Will Spend In- surance for Funeral of Man Who Ended Life.

Providing no relatives claim the body of George Wagner of 422 South Second street, who hung himself to a tree limb with his necktie at the edge of a quar- ry pit at the foot of Tesson street Sat- urday night, Mrs. Stella Shannon of Perry, Mo., who was to have married him “some day,” will arrange for his funeral, if she can collect an insurance policy he wrote he had left her. Mrs. Shannon still is the wife of J. C. Shannon, whom she is suing for divorce on a charge of desertion. She expects a decree at the May term of the Ralls County Circuit Court. She is 30 years old. Wagner was employed by her broth- er, E. D. Runkel, in the Runkel bakery at Perry last January. Mrs. Shannon and he met for the first time when he went to work. There was a mutual declaration of love when he left Perry six weeks ago. He went first to Litchfield, Ill., but found only temporary employment there. Two weeks ago he came to St. Louis, but was unable to get work. That dis- couraged him, as it made a marriage in the near future seem impossible. Among the many letters from Mrs. Shannon found in Wagner’s room was one in which she promised to marry him when he had ‘“‘settled down.” It said: “When you get a nice little bakery of your own send for me and I will come, no matter how far it is, and sell all the cakes and ples and bread you can make.”’ That he had thought of suicide before was evidenced by a letter from Mrs. Shannon dated Jan. 21, in which she wrote: “TIT erled myself to You may not believe wasn't all. I. prayed would not take vour you would, and I he will an- swer my prayers. I never realized that I did think so much of you until now that we are so far away from one an- other.’’ Mrs. Shannon said over the long dis- tance telephone Monday: “I did love him and intended to marry ‘him. I have the address of his uncle, If the uncle doesn't Want to take charge of the body and if Mr. Wagner did leave in- surance that | can collect I will see to the funeral myself. I will find out about the insurance at once.”’ | E. Cc. Runkel, Mrs. also speaking over the telephone, said: “I didn’t Know that Mr. Wagner and my sister expected to marry when she was divorced, but I knew they were friends. He was a nice fellow and I liked him. He had been in America three or four years and often was gloomy, saying nobody cared for him in this country.” eee wee ee last night.

trouble in Grove school district, Alton, and the State of Illinois must pay for it, ajl because the State neg- lected to consider personal enmities in rural neighborhoods when it passed a law permitting the casting of lots to determine tie votes at elections. Brushy Grove district had an election for school directors Saturday. It was a red-hot fight, too, for all the women in the district voted. Two school] directors were to be chosen. George Hendricks was a can- didate to fill an unexpired term -of one year, being opposed by Charles Vaughn. For the regular term of three years the candidates were Fred Wester- holt and Fred Beeche. Two Candidates Tied. Hendricks and Westerholt ran on the platform of no consoliaation with the Wood River and Benbow City district, which wants to merge with Brifshy Grove and build a schoolhouse costing $15,000. Veughn and Beeche were for consolidation and the big schoolhouse to take the place of the little old red. Fifty-two votes were cast. Beeche beat Westerbelt by two votes. Hendricks and Vaughn each received % votes. Under the law, a tie vote in such elections may be decided by casting lots, which is roughly con- strued in Brushy Grove as drawing straws, playing a game of draw poker, pitghing horseshoes at the blacksmith shop, or running a foot race. “What! Me draw straws with Charley Vaughan?” exclaimed Hendrick. ‘Not if they saddle taxes on us to build a schoolhouse as big as the State Normal! Not if they move Rockefeller’s Chicago University down here and assess the cost to Brushy Grove!” Theft Do Not Speak. “Why not, Mr. Hendricks?” sweetly but solicitously inquired one of the women voters who had cast her ballot for him. ; “Why, don’t you Know that Vaughn and I never speak? We're enemies, and I won't get close enough to that man to draw straws with him. Never!" The consequence is that elec. tion must be held to decide the matter.

PASTOR SEEN IN ST. LOUIS WIGHT HE DISAPPEARED ——————

- The Rev. Robert W. Lessing Spoke to Woman at the Union Station. ——— | MENTIONED HIS NAME Two Other Persons Identify His Photograph as That of Man on Train. —————— ee

That the Rev. Robert W. Lessing, missing pastor of the Presbyterian churches in Moselle and Pacific, Frank- lin County, was at the Union Station, St. Louis, a-few hours after his sud- den departure on foot from Moselle, was the positive statement of Mrs. W. T. Hodge, made at the Laclede Hotel Mon- day through her husband, a clerk in the Missouri Legislature. Mrs. Hodge said the young minister, whom she had once met, spoke with her at the station and repeated his name. Fear that Pastor Lessing was mur- dered and thrown into the Meramec by tramps who had seen him draw $19.55 from the Moselle bank was allayed by Mrs. Hodge’s announcement, and by the statements of two other persons who identified his photograph as that of the man whom they saw board an east- bound Frisco train at Robertsville Fri- day afternbon. These persons were L. R. Horsman, day station agent of the Frisco at Rob- ertsville, and Miss Susie Smith, daugh- ter of Dr. Smith of Catawissa. Rob- ertsville and Catawissa are stations be- tween Moselle and Pacific, which are 12 miles apart on the main line of the Frisco* Mind Weakened by Study. That the Rev. Mr. Lessing was suf- fering from some form of mental ab- erration, the result of close applica- tion to Bible study, is indicated by the statements of those who saw him, both on the train and before his sudden de- parture on foot from Moselle, and by the fact that he left his overcoat at his boarding house in Moselle, missed his preaching appointments there and at Pacific without explanation, and has sent no word of his whereabouts to his close friends in St. Louis. ““‘My wife was on the train last Fri- day afternoon, coming in from S8t. Clair,”” said Hodge to a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday. ‘‘At Robertsville she saw Mr. Lessing get on. She recog- nized him, having met him while she was visiting at Moselle. Told Name in Station. “After the train got into the Union Station he came up and spoke to her on the platform, repeating his name and recalling that he had met her at and that he was preaching there. He went away after a moment. “The next day at the ball game my wife saw his picture over a man's shoulder, on the first page of the Post- Dispatch, and said to me,.‘That is the preacher that spoke to me at the sta- tion.” I got a paper then and read about his disappearance.’ In both the Moselle and Pacific Pres- byterian churches prayers were offered Sunday for the pastor’s safety in case he still lived, or that the suspense might Fe relieved by definite news, if he no longer lived. Two such meetings were held at Pa- cific, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with Elder C. H. Winkler as leader of both. The funeral of William Noble, which Pastor Lessing was to have conducted at Pacific Sunday was conducted by a Methodist minister in- stead. At Moselle, after a brief Sunday schoo] service, at which-fervent prayers were uttered for the missing minister, the congregation started out to search the country in the direction which Mr. Les- sing had taken on his walk. No Trace at River, Walking east a mile to the Meramec, the sedrchers looked carefully along each side of the track for marks of a struggle, but saw nothing. At the river they divided, and looked along both banks for a mile in each direction, then struck back into the woods and to the nearby Ozark foothills. No one found any apparent clew. Dr. A. C. Brown, who saw him just before he entered the bank, said Mon- day: “It seemed to me at the time that he was strangely absorbed. He walked rapidly, and seemed to have formed some sudden purpose. He had started for the woods earlier, then re- turned and went straight to the bank. If he drew the money with any inten- tion of leaving town, the determination must have been a sudden one, or he would have taken his overcoat.” Mrs. Pauline Godfrey of 15 North Twenty-third street, the minister's sijs- ter, is greatly interested in the search, and a man who said he was sent by her was one of the searching party at Moselle Sunday. She Was estranged frem her brother, whom had not seen for seven months, though he was frequently in St. Louis.

—_— Testimony given in the Dayton Street Police Court Monday indicated that the gambling squad of the detective depart- ment is so well known that it {fs diffi- cult for it to catch gamblers. Detective Sergteant McMullen, and Wells, White and McGauley, wardens of the games of chance, told how they were forced to do “‘back-stairs work”’ in order to make a raid on “Kelly pool” players at 1028 Franklin avenue. They said they were so well known that if they had walked into the room through the front door the gambling game would have been stopped before they could have obtained evidence of a flirtation with the goddess, Fortune. Edward Scarrett and Walter Forman, proprietors of the room, were fined $400 each, They filed notice of appeal. Four young men found in the room were fined $5 each, but the fines were stayed on their promise that they would never again play ‘Kelly pool.” Other Policeman Unknown. A large sign at the front of the build- ing proclaims that a public poolroom is being run there. Any detective ex- cept a member of the gambling squad could have obtained all the necessary evidence without undue exertion. The squad men had no chance. ery gambler and every “Kelly player in St. Louis knows them. This made it necessary for them to turn up their coat collars and sneak around to the back yard. From a porch they looked through a rear window un- til they were convinced that a gambling game was in progress. Then they forced a door and made the arrests. CHILD I$ AIM OF LEGAL WRIT Dr. John P.

8 es ERS > ee ~ COP AND SHERIFE FAILS TEST AUTHORITY UN EACH OTHtR Sheriff Hines and Policeman Kern in Fisticuffs to Estab- lish Jurisdiction.

The mystery of who struck Billy Pat- terson has been superseded in St. Charles by that of who started hostili- ties when Policeman Andrew Kern and Sheriff Hines met in battfe in front of Ohlms’ saioon on Second street. There were no casualties and the policeman has recovered his revolver and ‘“‘billy”’ which avere taken in the encounter. Sheriff Hines in his new automobile with Benjamin F. Bruns, a son of Jus- tice Bruns, acting as chauffeur, drove up to the Ohlms saloon Saturday night. The Sheriff alighted and went into the saloon. Policeman Kern observed that the lamp at the back of the car was not burning. “Your back lamp’s out,” remarked Policeman Kern to Chauffeur Bruns. “Yes, but this is Sheriff Hines’ car— see him,’’ replied Bruns. Just then Sheriff Hines appeared. The testimony is conflicting as to whether Kern ‘‘cussed’’ Hines, whether Kern hit Hines with his billy, whether Hines de- nounced Kern and scoffed at the police force, or whether Hines drew a re- volver and waived it menacingly. At any rate Kern swung his “billy” at Hines, missed him and hit a quan- tity of Missouri River fog. The string which kept the “‘billy’’ attached to the policeman's wrist broke and the “‘bil- ly’’ flew into the street. Henry Elendorf, who, though an “in- nocent bystander,”’ was not injured, picked up the billy. Then Kern’s re- volver dropped out of his pocket and Councilman Dallmeyer, who had rushed up to act as peacemaker, picked that up. Dallmeyer induced Hines to enter his auto and drive away. Kern pa- trolled his beat for the rest of the night minus both billy and pistol. “The whole thing started over the jealousy the police feel about the Sheriff's office,” said Hines. ° “The Sheriff's office has done more toward enforcing the law than the police force has.’’ The police said Monday that as soon as legal advice had been obtained a warrant against ..ines would be de- manded.

Profit Sharing by St. Louls Store. A great crowd of customers were in- of universal the novel experience sharing profits through the coupon sale begun at Penny Dry Goods Co.'s new store, at Broadway anc Morgaa streets, today. In this im- mense sale merchandise was offered at prices that, judging from the enor- mous rush made for the bargains, must have been far below the average offer- ings made by St. Louis stores’ In ad- dition, each customer was given as special introductory offering two versal coupons in place of the usual ene for every 10-cent purchase made. The young lady at the coupon desk was kept busy redeeming these coupons for cash and merchandise vouchers because whenever the purchases amounted to $5 the customers had 100 ceupons, which entitled them to a 25-cent cash certificate. Some preferred, however, to save cou- pons and get their choice of the excep- tionally fine premiums offered. There is a catalogue of 1300 of these premiums ranging from pore to automebiles.

Husband Says She Is in Chi- cago, Relatives Say She Is in New York.

NEW YORK, April 19.—Prince Nich- elas Exngalitcheff, Russian vice-consu! to Chicago, arrived on the steamer Molt- ke of the Hamburg-American line late yesterday. He expressed surprise when told that a few days before his wife ar- rived from Europe two weeks ago that several newspapers had received letters announcing his intention to ask for a divorce. These letters, which some of her friends said was in writing resembling that of the Princess, had been mailed from Europe just before she surted for America. The Prince's astonishment equaled that expressed by when she arrived. “This is a shock to me and a complete eurprise,’’ he said, ‘‘and I can only con- celve that someone is attempting to play a practical joke, but one of doubt- ful taste, I must say. The Princess and have been happily married for 11 years. We have been staying with friends in the south of France, and although she returned before 1 did. it was because I was detained on a business matter.”’ Accompanying the Prince was his 8- yesterday his wife

CHICAGO, April 19.—Is the Princess Nicholas Engalitcheff, wife of the Rus- sian Vice-Consul at Chicago, in Chicago or in New York? Still more doubt as to the Princess’ whereabouts was spread when Prince Engalitcheff arrived at New York from Naples by the Ham- burg-American liner Moitke and de- clared he was on his way to Chicago te meet his wife. That would seem to indicate that the Princess is in Chicago. On the other hand, E. W. Pardridge, brother of the Princess, declared that his sister is not in Chicago and that he knew nothing of the arrival of the Prince in New York. ‘This is the first news I have receive of the arrival of the Prince,’’ said Mr. Pardridge. ‘‘The Princess Engalitcheff is not in Chicago. I cannot say just where she is; but I believe she is at the residence of her sister in New York.”

Browning Poem.

N “The Substitute,’ which brings Max Figman to St. Louis for the first time as a star, a Century audi- ence last night saw . fairly clever lit- tle comedy brightly played and made additionally pleasing by a prettily pic- torial scenic product‘on. In the second act there was a rain- storm, with thunder and lightning trim- mings, almost as realistic as the one which later made things distinctly un- comfortable for the a lience on its way home, In the third act a parsonage flower-garden was so pleasingly set on the stage as to delight the eye. Mr. Figman has a role that gives him much Opportunity for breezy fun-man- ing, placing little strain, however, upon his reai ability. He is an enterprising young New York lawyer named Smith. In a sudden emergency he undertakes to act as a substitute for his prospec- tive brother-in-law, a young clergyman unable to fill an engagement to preach in a country church. This leads him to discover a melodramatic plot to ruin the old pastor of the church, and, at tne same time, he falls in love with the pas- tor’s daughter. Just how he rescues the white-haired divi::: and wins the girl is what makes the play interesting. A Likable Comedy-Melodrama Hero. Save that the unsophisticated feminine authors of the play, Beulah Marie Dix and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, compel Mr. Figman to swear a bit too freely in order to indicate that, ordi- narily, he’s a devil of a fellow, the Smith role is brightiy diverting. It is played by the star in the airiest spirit, yet there are moments when, rightly, the hero becomes tremendously earn- est, and the capable manner in which he eventually straightens things out, foiling the villain anu the villainess and en-ircling the heroine in his protecting arms, tickled the i.ouse almost beyond measure. The first-night verdict on the play was undeniably favorable. Miss Lolita Robertson mnoakes the sweetest imaginable heroine as Celia Lothrop, daughter of the vendgable country parson caught in the eh of his enemies. The best piece of char- acter work is «one by Miss Agnes Everett as the parsonage housekeeper, a quite sincere and convincing creation. Others in the cast who acquit them- selves satisfyingly are Charles Rowan as Vandergift, the heros law partner; Sidney Price as the old clergyman, Her- bert Charles as his youthful colleague, Frank Kirk as Deacon Heywood, Lil- lian Rhodes as the adventuress, and Fay Wheeler in the ingenue role of Helen Smith, the hero’s sister. The comedy runs nicely fro~ start to finish. wlLPLEY D. SAv.,. a | pm its.

& WOLF HOPPER is happily cast |) in “The Pied Piper,” presented audience at the Olympic Theater lasi night. Not since ‘‘Wang”’ of many years ago has he had a character that fitted him so well. Age has not withered him and his voice still has the pleasing mel. low sound that suits so well the char- acter of the ruler of the mystic City cf innocence. The City of Innocence is where the Pied Piper led the children of Hamelin Town and they are happy in their inno- cence until an American party lands in an aeroplane,, with a case of “‘joy water,” and lift the lid in the pic- turesque town. Then the Pied Piper's pipes become unmanageable, innocence takes a vacation and the inhabitants be- come world-wise. The introduction of the aeroplane party among the innocent inhabitants creates the humor and adds the spice to the play that gives it all its flavor. The humor is clean and bright, and some of it is entirely along original lines, the work of Florence Nash as d.izzie Dizzy, the aspiring shop girl, with an ambition, and a slang with which to express it, bring an especially pleasing comedy creation. A Scenically Impressive Play. The strongest appeal “The Pied Piper’ makes to the theater goer is along the line of the spectacular. Its five scenes are ail pleasing above the ordinary and of the grouping and dances are reriiorious. Its weakest point is in its music. There is only one distinctive musical number, “I’m Looking for a Swectheart,’’ and that is of the popular whisthng variety. “Nursery Rhymes,” sung by DeWolf Hopper and a half- dozen children is also a pleasing novelty that was a big hit with last night's audience. The play as & whole is worth while There are some very clever comedians, a chorus that is good to look upon, even though they are not called upon for ony special musical talent, and as a big added feature DeWolf Hopper recites ‘Carey at the Bat,, a8 an entre act The performance tonight will be the eecasion of the annual benefit of Ag. sistant-Treasurer “Dick” Richie, Door. keeper Streeper and advertising agent |.ightner.

Revresentatives of 41 banks and trust companies of St. Louis and St. Louis County will go to Jefferson City Wednesday to appear before the Sen- ate Committee on Constitutional Amend- ments and protest against the adoption of the prohibition resolution. Willlam HL Lee, president of the Merchants-La- clede National Bank, will head the dele- gation. The bankers will leave St. Louis at § a. m. and arrive in Jefferson City at 12:39 p. m. They have been notified by Senator Greene, chairman of the Constitutional Amendment Committee, that they will be heard Wednesday aft- ernoon. The delegation will leave Jef- ferson City for St. Louts at 6:30 p. m. “Every bank and trust company ir St.. Louis and the county will have a representative in the delegation,’’ said Mr. Lee Monday. The bankers met last week and adopt- ed a resolution opposing the submission of the State-wide prohibition amend- ment. The representatives of several civic and commercial organizations are expected to go with the bankers to Jef- ferson City and join in the protest ‘against prohibition. The Tenth Ward Improvement Asso- ciation adopted reso.utions against pro- hibition at its Sunday meeting and sim- flar action was taken by the St. Louis Gymnastic Association. Stone and Wetmore Out for Wets. United States Senator William J. Stone in an Interview in Washington Sunday expressed his disapproval of Btate-wide prohibition. Col. Moses Wet- more, Democratic National Committee- Iman for Missouri, also was interviewed on the subject and his position is prac- tically the same as Senator Stone's. ate a Requests were made upon Senator Stone to send telegraphic requests to the members of the State Senate asking them to voto against prohibition. Sena- tor Stone declined to do this, not caring to go as far in the matter as Senator Warner has done. Senator Stone said in his interview that he was opposed to prohbition as a principle and that the Denfocratic par- ty always has been opposed to sump- tury legislation. He said that prohibi- tion would destroy much property in the State and increase the taxation On oth- er property. The Senator said he was in favor of local option, and fhe strict regulation of the liquor |traffic. Not a Party Question. “TI do not hesitate to say that if I were a member of the Legislature I would, under existing conditions, vote against the proposition,’ said Senator Stone. “—" mean that, as we now have a constitu- ticnal provision known as the referen- dum, under which questions of this kind may be submitted for popular approval, I would remit the whole subject for disposition under the procedure provided for by that new etek of our funda- mental law. “TI would divorce as far as possible the subject from party politics. I think it would be unfortunate and unwise for members of either house of the Lexgis- lature to take such action as would tend, so far as any such action could have that effect, to commit either party to either side of the cpntroversy. [If would simply leave it open and let those who favor prohibition take it up by a popular movement, regardless of party, and have the question submitted to the voters of the State, leaving all men of all parties free to speak and vote as their own judgment and eensciences dictate.”’ Col. Wetmore said the submission of the prohibition amendment will make it an issue for the next 18 months and will disturb business conditions all over the State. The Tenth Ward Improvement Asso- ciation designated three of its members to visit Jefferson City and personally protest to the Senate against the adop- tion of the prohibition resolution. H.

MINISTERS: ASK LEGISLATURE 10 ALLOW DRY VOTE: Presbyterians and Baptists Pass Resolutions Asking for Submission. The Presbyterian ministers of St. Louis, meeting in ‘denominational head- quarters in the Equitable Building Mon- day, passed a resolution requesting the State Senate to pass the bill submit- ing a prohibition amendment to Mis- souri voters’ Doors were closed during the discus- sion of the prohibition question. This was done, the officers explained, in or- der that the discussion might be frank and free. It was stated afterward that, while several of the ministers doubted the wisdom of prohibition, the resolu- tion asking the submission of the ques- tion to the voters was passed by a sub- stantial majority. The Rev. P. V. the session. The Baptist ministers passed a simi- lar resolution, after deciding against the passage of a resolution criticising the business and trade organizations which have .pronounced against prohibition. The latter was proposed by the. Rev. S. E. Ewing. There was no opposition to the resolution finally passed, asking the submission of the question to the people, and the Rev. Drs. W. J. Wil- liamson and Sam Frank Taylor spoke in its favor. Business Men Criticised. In his Sunday night sermon at the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, the Rev. S. E. Ewing criticised the business men who are opposing prohibition. He said: What appe rs » me as the sad- dest comment on the business life of St. Louis is revealed in the col- umns of the papers of the last few days in the resolutions against. the submision of prohibition to the voters of the State by the bankers, trades unions and other organiza- tions of the city. The situation is most deplorable in- deed. The real estate man afd the banker, who would count it quite proper to discharge his employe for drinking, now comes out and asks that we keep the _ saloon which tempts his employe and brings on his ruin. Practically not one of the large business firms will employ the fre- quenter of the saloon, but yet they say, let the saloon remain. What is the power behind all this? It is simply a bid for business. Money! Mammon is the god on the throne of the hearts that thus reso- lute and plead. Mr. Busch comes out in an open letter and bribes the public. --.e says, name your price and let me stay. Stay at the cost of ruined lives and homes! Stay at the cost of graves filled up by drunkards! Yes, he says, name your price and I will pay it. Revenue Is the Reason, The brewers and the bankers put the reason for the objection to the submission act on the same ground, that of money. Revenue is the word they use. Mr. Busch wants to pay revenue and the bankers want the revenue. It is a pity that our foun- dations were put on such iniquitous business, but that is no reason for their remaining. Of course, it will bring on uneasi- ness in business circles for a while, but we can meet it. God pity us if we are dependent on the liquor busi- ness for our financial standing as a city, State or nation! Pastor Ewing declared that persons were inconsistent who said they favored local option, but not prohibition, as lo- cal option was prohibition, and the prin- ciple was not affected by the wideness or narrowness of the locality covered by the law. He criticised ministers who, at a recent meeting of the Evangelical Alliance, opposed prohibition. ONLY ONE MAN ON COMMIT WILL VOTE DRY From a Staff Campermonnent of the o P ispatch. JEFFERSON ITY, er 19.—It be- came known ous that probably only one member of the Senate Committee on _Constitutional Amendments, Peck (Rep.) of Atchison County, will favor the proposed State-wide prohibition amend- ment resolution in the form that it passed the House of Representatives. The resolution is, now in charge of this committee. Peck Is an avowed prohi- bitionist. Senator Greene (Dem.) of Jackson County, chairman of the Constitutional] Amendments Committee,. is equally pro- nounced in opposition to the prohibition principle and is regarded by the “drys” as the most formidable foe of submis- sion. The other members of the committee are: Methudy (Rep.) of St. Louis, Wil- son (Dem.) of Livingston County and McAlester (Dem.) of Monroe County. Methudy is againét submission and Mc- Alester and Wilson ere expected to in- dorse it on condition solely that the prohibition amendment shall contain a clause providing for an increase in the tax rate. The “drys” announce they will fight the tax rider to the finish. Burdening the proposed amendment with such a Jenness presided at ' proviso they say will be the surest way cf killing it. lINQUEST TO BE HELD OVER CHILD KILLED BY A GAR Father Sees Death of 4-Year-Old Daughter and Mother Is Attract- ed to Scene by Crowd. An inquest will be held to fix re- sponsibility for the death of 4-year- old Pauline Swartz, daughter of Samuel and Rebecca Swartz of 2009 Franklin ave- nue, who was killed by q Suburban car at Twentieth and Wash streets at 3 Pp. m.

Pauline ran ahead of her father anq stepped onto the tracks before he could reach SS street crawled under the car and re- leased the body. ; Conductor Frank Haley of 611 Sub- urban avenue and Motorman Frank Criges of 2930 South Thirteenth street were arrested, but released by the po- lice .after they had made statements. Swartz said the car wag going at a high’ rate of speed. Mrs. Swartz saw the crowd at the corner and ran there to learn what had happened. When she was told her own child was killed she swooned.

Mrs. Frances lL, Bevan, $7 years old, who yearned to reach the century mark, is dead at her home in Upper Alton. Her health, for one of her years, had been excellent and! when she celebrated her ninetyseventh birthday, Mérch 27. _ the prospect seemed bright for her to live to be 100 years old. But 10 days ago she fell from an armchair and was in- jured. That injury ecrused her rleath. Mrs. Bevan was born in New York City In 1812. She married when she OR ee ee was 16 years old and at'the age of 22 was left a widow. She moved to Up- per Alton in 1861 and had lived for more than 30 years in the house where she died.

TAX INCOMES—NOT POVERTY. ‘“In my opinion an amendment to the Consti- tution for an income tax is not necessary. I be- | lieve that an income tax, when the protective sys- _temt of customs and the internal revenue tax shall ‘not furnish income enough for governmental needs, cam and should be devised which under the de- cisions of the Supreme Court will conform to the Constitution."—Mr. Taft in letter of acceptance, July 28, 1908. _. “We favor an income tax as part of our revenue ‘system, and we urge the submission of a constitu- tional amendment specifically authorizing Congress to levy and collect a tax upon individual and cor- porate incomes to the end that wealth may bear its proportionate share of the burdens of Federal government.”—National platform of the Demo- cratic party, adopted at Denver, July 10, 1908. ‘Mr. Taft is a great constitutional lawyer. In his_ opinion an income tax provision can be ‘drawn to conform with the Constitution, in spite Of past decisions of the United States Supreme Court. He holds it to be a just and expedient tax at this time. Why should not the Democrats in the Senate follow Mr. Taft’s advice? By their national plat- form they are committe to the principles of the income tax, without regard to the tariff, as a way to make wealth bear its fair share of the bur- deng of the Government. None of them is better qualified than Mr. Taft by legal learning and experience to pass on the constitutionality of such a measure. Why should not the Republicans in the Senate adopt Mr. Taft’s plan? ‘vheir national platform and their campaign pledges to an honest revision of the Dingley tariff, a thorough and downward revision. They are responsible for the raising of adequate reve- nues for the Government. As Mr. Taft described it, the condition today exists when the protective system of customs and the internal revenue tax do mot furnish enough income. The proposed revision of the Dingley duties alone will not pro- \duce enough additional revenue unless taxes on the necessities of life are raised and the cost of living still further increased to millions of poor consumers. What better method there ftamees of securing additional iax.on incomes? There are evough Democrats and Republicans in the Senate who favor the income tax to make it a part of the pending tariff bill, if they will work loyally (ogether. It would be folly to sac- rifce the opportunity to minor details or petty differences of opinion. The time is ripe for a real tax reform, for the enactment into the forms of law that wealth must pay its proper propor- in the circum- revenue than a is is tion; of the costs of government and that poverty - shal actions for the relief of wealth. not be further penalized by excessive ex- The income tax will be a forward step in that It will not correct the inequalities of At worte in the new tariff by removing the ex- cessive taxes, designed to increase the prices of food, clothing and shelter. a a A

But where is the evidence of the demand? There has been no definite expression of State- wide prohibition sentiment in the State. It has not manifested itself in any political convention, nor in any primary or wii election.. None of the members of the Legislature was elected on a prohibition issue. On the contrary, every was elected on a platform declaring The sole evidence of the existence of a popular demand is in the assertions of well-meaning but fanatical men and women who represent extreme intolerance on the question of State control of personal conduct. Their noisy claims are based upon petitions containing only 26,201 signatures, mostly those of: women. The House of Representatives, against the convictions. of a majority of its members, has vielded foolishly to the clamor of Zealous lobby- ists, but the State Senate should be wiser, more conservative, more regardful of real public opin- ion and of the public welfare. Nothing but convincing evidence of an over- whelming popular demand should induce senators personally opposed to prohibition and elected on an opposition platform to vote in favor of plung- ing the State into a prolonged, disastrous cam- paign and subjecting it to the damaging conse- quences of a prohibition menace. It is fair to insist that the prohibitionists, if they want their issue submitted by a legislative resolution, should elect a prohibition majority to the Legislature. That condition is required of the advocates of other public issues. terous to ask legislators, against their own con- victions and the mandate of their constituents embodied in their party platforms, to carry out the will of a prohibition lobby. It is impossible to justify votes of. this kind. 3 It or of letting the people decide.

But the only sound rule for legislators is to vote their convictions and;jtheir platform pledges. ——+¢¢—___—_ A New Yorker arrested for stealing $25,000 from his employers says he is a victim of the “city’s whirl.” And yet ther? are thousands of men in trusted positions in big cities who do not steal. Simple honesty is not a matter of geogra- phy, and it is not, like the tariff, a local issue. a. &. A. i i A THE NEW IOWA IDEA. Iowa is the latest addition to the list of com- munities bent on winning fame by self-advertis- ing. It has a dry, humorous method, too. Re- cently it caused to be taken from a dining car on the St. Paul road two kegs of beer, a barrel of wine and sundry bottles of whisky. A county at- torney and a sheriff held up the train and the majesty of the Iowa law at the same time. As Iowa views it, it is probably a good*law. It declares in emphatic language the Iowa idea that what is not good for the native is not good for the traveler within its bounds. The chastening influences of self-denial are universal in their ap- plication. If good for home use they must ve good for the world without. Thus the value and beauty of abstinence is carried home to pilgrims, and they go forth from the State, impressed with the idew that here is one community brave enough to carry its gospel to the world. These pilgrims en route from Joppa to Jerusa- lem, or Boston to Los Angeles, have, perhaps, never heard of Iowa before. But they will not forget it. With the alkali deserts of the South- west it will share in their minds the distinction of superlative aridity. Iowa could do nothing that will carry its fame further. It ministers the gos- pel of militant temperance to the traveling mil- lion, and earnest wayfarers will hence forth tra- verse it in the night if it must be traversed at all.

The marriage of two American artists has been announced a failure because one artist is enough in a family. Professional jealousy was too much for their happiness. What will happen when women reach complete equality of business opportunity and demonstrate their equality in actual efficiency, if they ever do make the demonstration? Suppose the husband competes with the wife in the hardware business. Will love be strong enough to bear the strain of a competition which at any time might become “cut-throat?” Suppose the two belong to different political parties; both are nominated for the governorship or the presi- dency. Wouldn’t personalities enter the canvass? And how long before they would discover that one statesman in the family was enough! This is a grave question which women ought to consider thoughtfully. It may be that this whole woman movement is moving upon a hid- den rock. Already one woman has struck it and her marriage, if not her happiness, has been. wrecked. Strange, if women should be forced to confess, after all, that there is a man's mis- sion, which only @ man can pursue, and & Wom- wae ay ae

>, an's, which —— “Oh! Take the Cash!” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reference to the discussion, ‘‘Cash versus Cred- it.’ I had an experience recently in a department store. I inquired the price of a rug Of a waiting clerk. Instead of naming the amount he looked me over suspiciously, asking at the same time, ‘Have you a charge account with the house?” I explained the fact, that I had not asked for credit, having fortunately always money at hand to pay for all my purchases, but this explanation did not satisfy Mr. Clerk, for he repeated his question without giv- ing the price of the rug. The writer is old-fashioned enough to prefer not to open a credit account with any business house except the bank, and business firms instructing their emploves would do weil to consider this question, or they stand a first-class chance of losing customers every time. A friend had a similar exptrience in buying a costly suit recently, and she declares she will henceforth take her trade to a store willing to accept her cash in lieu of credit. Query: Why should one be coerced into accepting charge accounts when they have the cash in hand to pay for their purchases? BUYER. See ee Spring Avenue Cars. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

WOULDN'T WATER WHISKY. From the Saturday Evening Post. ‘It has been many years,’ said Col. J. Cc. 8S. Blaekburn, now Governor of the Canal Zone at Panama, but former- ly Senator from Kentucky, “since I have taken a drink of whisky. I have been on the water wagon for years and years, but I always maintain that Ken-| tucky produces the finest whisky in the world. “T am reminded of the sayings of an old friend of mine who always closed his eyes when he took a drink, explain- ing that the reason he did this was be- cause the sight of real Kentucky whisky always made his mouth water, and he didn’t want to see it and thus spoil the drink.”’

MEN AND WOMEN, From the Atchison Globe. When a man is left motherless children on his hands, he usually seatters them among his rela- tives. If it is the woman who is left with fatherless little ones, she keeps them together and earns a living be- sides. Women develop great energy when left without a man. In fact, all the widows we know are getting along a great deal better than the married women. with a lot of JUST A TRICK. From the Chicago Tribune. There is a growing belief that the fn- creases voted by the Ways and Means Committee in the rates on hosiery, gloves and a number of other things were never intended to be carried through. In other words, it is asserted that Mr. Payne, Mr. Boutell and others of the standpatter contingent resorted to the time honored legislative trick of increasing the figure for the express purpose of preventing reduction.

UTILIZING AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. From the Washington Star. “I'll be kind o’ glad when Josh gits home from school,’ said Farmer Corn- tossel. ‘I have an idea he can be right useful.’’ . “Are you going to put him to work?" “Maybe. I've exhausted all the lan- guage I know on that team of mules. But I haven't given up hope. I want to see whether Josh can't startle "em some with his college yell.”’ SHE DOESN’T MEAN IT. From the Washington Star. “In my opinion,’’ said the positive woman, ‘“‘Miss Sniffins doesn’t mean a word of her violent talk about demand- ing the ballot.”’ “No.”’ answered Miss Cayenne, “she’s a bluffragette.”’

A LEGAL DIFFERENCE, From the Cleveland Leader. The Client: How much will your opin- ion be worth in this case? The Lawyer: I’m too modest to say, But I can tell you what I'm going to charge you for it.

If you in- gist on my being so accurate, did you ever find a short gray hair?’ Then; unable to await. his answer longer, she added funereally, ‘“‘I found one this morning.” “Well,” said the bridegroom, some- what unimpressed, ‘what about it?” “Oh, of course, you don't care!”’ re- torted the bride, bitterly. ‘“‘What dif- it make to you if I get old and wrinkled!” “And FAT!" added the bridegroom, emphasis. For the bride had gained 20 pounds since the honeymoon. “Yes, old and ugly and fat and gray! What will it be to you? By that time you will be in love with somebody else— and I just feel it in my bones she is going to have red hair.”’ The bride’s vivid picture of her neg- Jected future brought the tears to her eyes and a pathetic tremolo to her | ‘yoice. “Now, baby,” pronounced the bride- groom, Josing his indifference at the eudden prospect of storm,

Some other woman must have sald that to you.’ Now, the bridegroom did not want to go) out. It was raining, his slippers were on and the book in his hand was very interesting.

Whispering Smit 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. Many disasters befall the division, which are ascribed to outlaws. President Bucks sends Whispering Smith, into the country with a free hand to clean out the outlaws. McCloud boards with Marion Sinclair (Murray’s neglected who is a milliner at Medicine Bend. pering Smith is in love with Marion. Cloud in love with Dicksie Dunning. 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 thé division to McCloud’s incompetence. . McCloud takes to build a line of railroad into Crawling Spring Valley. He quarrels with Lance Dunning over the crossing of the Dun- ning Fangh. An assassin tries fo kill Mc- CHAPTER XIV. At the Wickiup. WO nights later Whispering Smith rode into Medicine Bend. I’ve been up around Williams Cache,” he said, answering McCloud’s greeting as he entered the upstairs office. How goes it?” He was in his riding rig, just as he had come from a late supper. Vhen he asked for news McCloud told him the story of the trouble with Lance Dunning over the survey, and added that he. had referred the matter to Glover. He told then of his unpleasant Surprise when riding home afterward. ““Yes,’’ assented Smith, looking with feverish interest at McCloud’s head; ‘‘I heard about it.’’ “That's odd, for I haven’t said a word about the matter to anybody but Ma- rion Sinclair, and you haven’t seen her.”’ “I heard up the country. ft is great luck that he missed you.’’ “Who missed me?’’ “The man that was after you.” “The bullet went through my hat.’ ‘‘Let me see the hat.’”’ McCloud produced it. It was a heavy, broad-brimmed Stetson, with a _ bullet hole cut cleanly through the front and the back of the crown. Smith made McCloud put the hat on and describe his position when the shot was fired. Mc- Cloud stood up, and Whispering Smith eyed him and put questions. “What do you think of: it?’’ McCloud when he had done. Smith leaned forward on the table and pushed McCloud’s hat toward him as if the incident were closed. ‘‘There is no question in my mind, and there never has been, but that Stetson puts up the best hat worn on the range.”’ McCloud raised his eyebrows. ‘‘Why, thank you! Your conclusion clears things so. After you speak, a man has nothing to do but guess.”’ “But, by heaven, George,’’ exclaimed Smith, speaking with unaccustomed fer- vor. ‘Miss Dicksie Dunning is a hum- mer, isn’t she? That child will have the whole range going in another year. To think of her standing up and lashing her cousin in that way when he was browbeating a railroad man!” ‘Where did you hear about that?’ “The whole Crawling Stone country is talking about {t. You never told me you had a misunderstanding with Dick- sie Dunning at Marion’s. Loosen up!”’ “IT will loosen up in the way you do. What scared me most, Gordon, was waiting for the second shot. Why didn’t he fire again?’ ‘Doubtless he thought he had you the first time. Any man big enough to start after you is not used to shooting twice at 250 yards. He probauviv thought you were falling out of the saddle; and it was dark. I can account for every- thing but your rescnieg the pass so late. How did you spend all your time between the ranch and the foothills?’ McCloud saw there was no escape from telling of his meeting with Dicksie Dun- ning, of her warning, and of his ride to the gate with her. Every point brought & suppressed exclamation from Whis- pering Smith. ‘“‘So she gave you your lite.’ he mused. ‘‘Good for her! If you had got into the pass on time you could not ave got away—the cards were stacked for you. He overestimated you a little, George; just a little. Good men make mistakes. Phe sport of circum- stances that we are! The sport of cir- cumstances!”’ “Now, tell me how you heard much about it, Gordon, and where?” “Through a friend, but forget it. “Do you know who shot at me” **Yes.’”’ “I think I do, too. I think it was the fellow that shot so well with the rifle at the barbecue—what was his name” He was working for Sinclair, and per- haps is yet.”’ “You mean Seagrue, the Montana cow- boy?

You may see him yourself if you want to.” “‘I’d like nothing better. When?’’ *Tonight—in 30 minutes.”” McCloud closed his desk. There was a rap at the door. “That must be Kennedy,” said Smith. “IT haven’t seen him yet, but I sent him word for him to meet me here.’’ The door opened and Kennedy entered the room. “Sit down, Farrell,” said Whispering Smith, easily. ‘Ve gates?’ “How’s that?’ “Wie geht es? Don’t pretend you oan’t make out my German. He is trying to let on he is not a Dutchman,” ob- served Whispering Smith to McCloud. “You wouldn't believe it, but I can re- member when Farrell wore wooden shoes and lighted his pipe with a candle. He sleeps under a feather bed yet. Du Sang is in town, Farrell.”’ “Du Sang!’ echoed the tall man with mild interest as he picked up a ruler and, throwing his leg on the edge of the table, looked cheerful. ‘“‘How long has Du Sang been in town? Visiting friends or doing business?’’ ‘He is after your superintendent. He has been here since 4 o’clock, I reckon, and I’ve ridden a hard road today to get in in time to talk it over with him. Want to go?” Kennedy slapped his leg with the ruler. “I always want to go, don’t I?” “Farrell, if you hadn't been a railroad man you would have made a great un- dertaker, do you know that?’ Kennedy, slapping his leg, showed his ivory teeth. “You have such an instinct for fu- nerals,’’ added Whispering Smith. “Now, Mr. Smith! Well, who are we Waiting for? I’m ready,’ said Kennedy, taking out his revolver and examining it. McCloud put on his new hat and asked if he should take a gun. “You fre really accompanying me as my guest, George,” explained Whispering Smith, reproachfully. “‘Won’t it be fun to shove this man right under Du Sang’s nose and make him bat his eyes,’’ he added to Kennedy. ‘Well, put one in your pocket if you like, George, pro- vided you have one that will go off when sufficiently urged.” McCloud opened the drawer of the ta- ble and took from it a revolver. Whis- pering Smith reached out his hand for the gun, examined it, and handed it back. “You don't like ft.” Smith smiled a sickly approbation. “A men, was

A bullet is intended to knock a man down; not necessarily kill him, ‘but, if possible, to keep him from killing you. Never mind, we all have our fads. Come on!” At the foot of the stairs Whispering Smith stopped. ‘‘Now, I don’t know where we shall find this man, but we'll try the Three Horses.’’ As they start- ed down the street McCloud took the inside of the sidewalk, but Smith dropped behind and brought McCloud into the middle. They failed to find Du Sang at the Three Horses, and leaving, started to round up the street. They visited many places, but each was en- tered in the same way. Kennedy saun- tered in first and moved slowly ahead. He was to step aside only in case he saw Du Sang. McCloud in every in- stance followed him, with Whispering Smith just behind, amiably surprised. They spent an hour in and out of the Front street resorts, but their search was fruitless. ae “You are sure he is in town: asked Kennedy. The three men stood delib- erating in the shadow of a side street. “Sure!” answered Whispering Smith. “Of cotrse, if he turns the trick he wants to get away quietly. He is lying low. Who is that, Farrell?

A Test. U SANG had the sidewise gait of a [) wolf, and crossed the street with the choppy walk of the man out of a long saddle. Being both uncertain and quick, he was a man to slip a trail easily. He traveled around the block and disappeared among the many open doors that blazed along Hill street. Less alert trailers than the two behind him would have been at fault; but when he en- tered the place he was looking for, Kennedy was so close that Du Sang could have spoken to him had he turned around. Kennedy passed directly ahead. A mo- ment later Whispering Smith put his head inside the door of the joint Du Sang had entered, withdrew it, and, re- joining his companions, spoke in an un- dertone: “A negro dive; he’s lying low. Now we will keep our regular order. It’s a half-basement, with a bar on the left; crap games at the table behind the screen on the right. Kennedy, will you take the rear end of the bar? It covers the whole room and the back door. George, pass in ahead of me and step just to the left of the slot machine, you’ve got the front door there and everything behind the screen, and I can get close to Du Sang. Look for a thin- nish, yellow-faced man with a brown hat and a brown shirt—and pink eyes— shooting craps under this window. I'll shoot craps with him. Is your heart pumping, George? Never mind, this is easy! Farrell, you’re first!’’ The dive, badly lighted and ventilated, was counted tough among tough places. White men and colored mixed before the bar and about the tables. Wien Smith stepped around the screen and into the flare of the hanging lamps, Du Sang stood in the small corner be- low the screened street window. Mce- Cloud, though vitally interested in look- ing at the man that had come to town to kill him, felt his attention contin- ually wandering back to Whispering Smith. The clatter of the rolling dice, the guttural jargon of the negro gam- blers, the drift of men ‘to and from the bar, and the clouds of tobacco smoke made a hazy background for the stoop-shouldered man with his gray hat and shabby coat, dust-covered and travel-stained. Industriously licking the broken wrapper of a cheap cigar and rolling it fondly under his forefinger, he was making his way unostentatiously toward Du Sang. Thirty-odd men were in the saloon, but only two knew what the storm center moving slowly across the room might develop. Kennedy, see- ing everything and taiking pleasantly With one of the barkeepers, his close- set teeth gleaming 20 feet away, stood at the end of the bar sliding an empty glass between his hands. Whispering Smith pushed past the onlookers to get to the end of the table where Du Sang whispered

He made no effort to , attract Du Sang’s attention, and when ‘the latter looked up he could have | pulled the gray hat from the head of the |man whose brown eyes were mildly fixed on Du Sang’s dice: they were lving just in front of Smith. Looking indifferently at the intruder, Du Sane reached for the dice; Just ahead of his right hand, Whispéring Smith's right hand, the finger-tips extended on the table, rested in front of them; it might have been through accident, or it might have been through design. In his left hand Smith held the broken cigar, and Without looking at Du Sang he passed the wrapper again over the tip of his tongue and slowly across his Ifps. Du Sang now looked sharply at him, end Smith looked at his cigar. Others were playing around the semi-circular table—it might mean notning. Du Sang waited. Smith lifted his right hand from the table and felt in his waistcoat for a match. Du Sang, however, made no effort to take up the dice. He watched Whispering Smith scratch a match on the table, and, either because it failed to light or through design, it Was scratched the second time on the cotta, marking a cross between the two ice, The meanest negro in the joint would not have stood that, yet Du Sang hesi- ted.

Hd caught up the dice and threw. “Is that the best you can do?’ asked Smith. ‘See here!”” He took up the dice. ‘“‘Shoot with me!”” Smith threw the dice up the table toward Du Sang. Once he threw craps, but, reaching di- rectfy in front of Du Sang, he picked the dice up and threw eleven. “Shoot with me, Du Sang.” ““What’s your game?” Sang, with an oath. “What do you care, if I’ve got the coin? I'll throw you for $20 gold pieces.” Du Sang’s eyes glittered. Unable to understand the reason for the affront, he stood like a cat waiting to spring. “This is my game!” he snarled. “Then play it.’’ “Look here, what do you want?” he demanded, angrily. Smith stepped closer. you've got. I'll throw you left-handed, Du Sang.” With his right hand he snapped the dice under Du Sang’s nose and looked squarely into his eyes. “Got any Sugar Buttes money?” Du Sang for an instant looked keenly back; his eyes contracted in that time to a@ mere narrow slit; then, sudden as thought, he sprang back into the cor- ner.

the first time the crap-dealer looked im- atiently up. . It eae a showdown. No one watching the’ two men under the window breathed for a moment. Whispering Smith, mo- tionless, only watched the half-closed eye. ‘“‘You can’t shoot craps,’’ he said, coldly. ‘‘What can you shoot, Pearline? You can’t stop a man on horseback. Du Sang knew he must try for a quick kill or make a retreat. He took in the field at a glance. Kennedy’s teeth gleamed only ten feet away, and with his right hand half under his coat lapel he toyed with his watch-chain. McCloud had moved in from the slot machine and stood at the point of the table, looking at Du Sang and laughing at him. Whispering Smith threw off all pretense. “Take your hand away from your gun, you albino! I'll blow your head off left-handed if you pull! Will you get out of this town tonight? If you can’t drop a man tn the saddle at 250 yards, what do you think you'd look like after a break with me? Go back to the whelp that hired you, and tell him when he wants a friend of mine to send a man that can shoot. If you are within twenty miles of Medicine Bend at daylight I'll rope you like a fat cow and drag you down Front street!’’ Du Sang, with burning eyes, shrank narrower and smaller into his eorner, ready to shoot if he had to, but not iiking the chances. No man in Williams Cache could pull or shoot with Du Sang, but no man in the mountains had ever drawn successfully against the man that faced him. Whispering Smith saw that he would not draw. He taunted him again in low tones, and, backing away, spoke laugh- ingly to McCloud. While Kennedy cov- ered the corner, Smith backed to the door and waited for the two to join him. They halted a moment at the door, then they backed slowly up the steps and out into the street. There was no talk till they reached CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

McALEER’S MEN MAY SLUG WAY TO THE FRONT

Heavy Hitting Seems Likely to Make the Browns Rivals of Tigers.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. l* the St. Louis Browns play such baseball every day as they did in the Sun- day battle with the Chicago White Sox, hard for any pitching and unusual base running gave ican teams and it will be batting, sensational fielding superb Jimmy McAleer’s team a pronounced victory over the It was the strongest game the Browns have put up this sea- a score of 6 to 2. they will soon be leading the Amer- team to get them down. Terrific disabled Chicagoans by gon and it proved to the 27,000 fans present that there is too much class on the team for if’ to be kept down in this year’s race. A good pitcher and a few timely base hits will make the Browns victors in almost any pinch fthat arises. Their fielding is of the very best. No team in the American League can do better. Yesterday- the machine worked beauti- fully. The defense was just about per- fect. Powell was doing pitching that would stop any team, and the whole club was on a rampage with the bat. In the game yesterday, intense interest Was present until the seventh inning. In that frame, the Browns jumped from a tied score to a lead of two runs, a timely base hit by Hoy Hartzell send- ing home two runners. That hit gave the fans their heart’s desire and the batting in the next inning that drove in two more runs failed to arouse ex- citement, for4they were not needed. Big John Powell is in excellent pitch- ing form, though the season is not a week old. He was working against a team carrying a string of left-handed hitters who have generally been ef- fective against him, yet he went through inning after inning without even getting In danger. He seems to have his best speed and perfect control. He was keeping the ball well to the outside corner of the plate all the time, | just far enough in to make the batters strike and yet not close enough to per- mit line drives. When not in danger he trusted to the help of his teammates... With men on the bases he put on more speed. S%est seasons of his career. He’s in bet-

Boss Billy Sullivan of the White Sox is in desperate shape for pitchers and feels the need of the great Ed Walsh more and more each day. Handsome Nick Altrock, who was once dubbed the “human gargoyle,’’ was placed on the slab for the Sox. Nick has been trying for two summers to regain his reputation of 1906, when his pitching hélped greatly to make the White Sox the champions of the earth.

eae cies eee a standstill for five rounds. The 6-3 victory for Cincinnati might have been reversed had the clever youngster been sent in at the outset of the battle. The perfsrmance of the Cardinals this season 1S worth study. Fans began to take notice when the despised Bres- nahanites broke even with the world’s champions at Chicago. An analysis of those contests at the Windy City show that the Cardinals’ facility for scoring runs is little short of remarkable. The Bresnahan brigade of fleat men tallied 12 runs off 21 hits, while it was taking the world beaters 27 hits to make 15 runs. This giveg the Cardinals an ayv- erage of one run for 1.75 hits, while the Cubs needed 1.9 hits for each tally. Where Are the Browns, As compared with the work of the Browns, who took an average of 2.8 hits for each score, the Cardinals show up as inflinitely more resourceful on the bags. If the entire five games played by the Cardinals are taken into con- Sideration the average of the club in the matter of run-scoring for hits made is even better. In the five games the Cardinals scored 15 runs on 2% hits— a truly remarkable average. In figures it is exactly 1.6 hits for each run. The opposition, in five games, made 2 runs from 34 hits, or 1.7 hits for each tally. The Cardinals’ showing in defensive work has not been so good and it is here that the weakness of the club seems to lie. In aggressive play Bresna- han has probably exceeded his own hopes of success. He startea out with the idea that scoring runs was the first essential to success in baseball and he trained his club to take chances, and

The results of this than apparent—they stand out; and if the subsequent ef- ficiency of the team can equal this standard of run-getting, even though the Cardinals falter in the fleld, they are bound to make some sort of impression on the opposition. At least they will not die, as last year, of utter inanition. Two Promising Youngsters, Two of the new members of tne Car- dinals stand out from the rest as bear- ing promise of more than average re- sults. They are Steve Evans, whose big ash has been trundled into action with such success, and Forest More, the young pitcher who let Cincinnati players break their backs in an en- deavor to find his curves in the later innings of his game with Cincinnati yesterday. More went in for Lush when the latter was driven to the bench and he apparently made good to the satisfaction of all concerned. He pitched five innings without a hit being made off him. With More aple to hold his own the Cardinals’ pitching staff as- sumes more of a formidable appear- ance than it did immediately after the subtraction of Fromme, Raymond and Karger from the forces of Robinson. Yet the Cardinals, in spite of the bet- ter look they have taken on, will still have a hard time to fight their way up the’ league ladder. They are young and going best, while the older clubs. will not get started until a month has elapsed. Nearly every club in the league is fighting with new strength and spirit this year and there will be no dead to dare and do. work are more

KETCHEL MAY BOX LANGFORD NEW YORK, April 19.—Stanley Ketch- el, the middleweight champion, and Sam Langford have just been offered @ purse of $10,000 to battle for ten rounds at a boxing show to Be held during the con- vention of the Eagles at Calumet, Mich., on June 10. The purse has been sub- scribed by fifty business men of that city who are also willing to post a guar- antee of similar amount that they will bring off the fight if the men decided to fight for it. Although thie offer is a flattering one for a ten-round bout, it is nov likely that Willus Britt, manager of Ketchel, will accept it, as Willus has already said that he will not have Ketchel fight anyone until he meets Jack Johnson at Colma, Cal., on Oct. 12 — —— st, Yven Wine Easily.

Sun Plays Havoc. EFORE. the field at Sportsman's Q Park was laid out Mr. Hedges and his baseball family contend- ed that the entire outfield would be less afflicted by the sun than under the old arrangement. The work of the team this year seems to belie this qpinion. If the outfield is not bad for the field- ers, how can it be explained that such sterling fielders as Danny Hoffman and Roy Hartzell, who get most or the sun under the new arrange- ments, arée making so many mis- judgments of flies? Hoffman cost Sat- urday’s game because the sun blinded him; and yesterday Hartzell almost let a rap g2t away from him, making a grand stand catch after he had gauged the ball badly. Stone, the only fielder accustomed to the sun, is getting off* better than any, as the glare bothers him least. The trouble will wear eff and the players become accustomed to the changed con- ditions shortly, but the breaking in of the men is exasperating and costly. Many wonder why the diamond was shifted at all and why the new grand stand was not built where the old one stands. The change was made in order to take edvantage to the full of the playing space afforded by the grounds. attending the big battles. easily being realized from the games, 000.

(DOG SAVES LOST CHILD WHO WENT TOGET ADOCTOR Father Dying, 3-Year-Old Son Starts Through Woods for Medical Aid.

ACCOMPANIED BY PETS Bulldog Stops Judge Passing By and Leads Him to Ex- hausted Baby. ee By Leased Wire From the New York Burezu of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 19.—Friends mourn- ing with the widow of Joel T. Bigg chief engineer of the battleship Cos- necticut, who died of pneumonia Satur- Flushing avenue, perils of day, in his home on Jamaica, learned today of which Erwin Biges, 3 years old, encoun- tered in an effort to aid his dying father, rerlis which nearly cost the child's life. Numb from exposure and vover- helmed by terror, the boy was rescued at night from the woods where he was hopelessly entangled in the undergrowth. Biggs returned from the battleship cruise around the world without inis- hap. Soon after the fleet returned he suffered an injury to his head and came home on furlough. Pneumonia developed am week ago. Erwin, a sturdy titt'e chap for his age, saw his mother’s gricf and sought to comfort her. “Winney get a doctor man,” nounced on Saturday as he put on his coat and nat. Mrs. Biggs, harassed by anxieties, paid little attention to Erwin when he left the house, accompanied by his pets and companions, a bulldog and a New- foundland puppy. He trudged, unseen by anyone who knew him, to the woods which skirt the City Training Schcol tor Teachers. t.ost In the Woods. When night fell the child was in th« heart of the woods and lost. The searci for: a doctor had exhausted him and he was disheartened by failure. His face and hands, scratched and bleeding, told of his struggles in the undergrowth be- fore he collapsed. He was changed from his father’s first assistant, daring any- thing, to a very little boy, wailing in the dark for his mother. The Newfoundland puppy trotted back home and stood whining at the door. Mrs. Biggs could not understand why Erwin had not returned, but solaced herself with the thought that he* was safe with neighbors. Instinct, perhaps, told the bulldog that his little master, wailing in the thicket, needed help. Er- win said later that the faithfu! animal stood for a time, then licked his hand and departed. The child, left alone, increased his cries. County Judge Burt J. Humphrey of Queens was walking near the edge of the woods when the dog ran toward aim with manifestations of delight. The dog led him to within sound of the lost child’s voice. It came from far back in the woods. The dog bounded forward as Judge Humphrey advanced, unmis- takably indicating he would lead the way through the tangle. Led by Dog to Child. The cries grew fainter as Judge Hum- phrey plunged through the underbrush and briars and he trusted entirely to the dog. It disappeared but a few moments later, indicating its whereabouts by in- cessant barking. Guided in this way, Judg> Humphrey found the child, weak from exposure and exhaustion, and so terrified ne scarcely could whisper. After disengag- ing the vines which held the boy, Judge Humphrey carried him to the Hum- phreys home and, after being bathed. warmed and fed by Mrs. Humphrey, the child was questioned as she cuddled him before an open/fire. All she could get from him was that his name was “Winny Piggs."” The euphony of the child’s pronunciation eventually led to his identification and Mrs. Biggs was notified that her boy was found. AIRSHIP MADE IN FRANCE TO TRY FOR POST-DISPATCH PRIZE NEW YORK, April 19.—In order to compete for The World-Post-Dispatch $10,000 Fulton flight airship prize and the West Hudson Aero Club's $1000 aeroplane prize, Joseph W. Curzon of Birmingham, Ala., is bringing to Amer- ica a flying machine which has been built at the Voisin Brothers’ factory in France under the supervision of Henrv Farman.
