DRY’ LEAD ER SEES DEFEAT IN SENATE FOR PROHIBITION —“

TAX RIDER IS EXPECTED TO KILL THE RESOLUTION

Even if Higher Branch Passes Measure, It Will Be in Such Form That House Will Re- ject It—St. Louis Delegation’s , Effective Work.

From a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. JEFFERSON CITY. April +>*) of Atehison —Senator Peck County, a prohibitionist and leader of the prohibition forces in the Senate, today told a Post-Dispate] 1 reporter he believed the Senate would defeat the resolution to submit to the voters in 1910 a consti- tutional amendment establishing upper house does not vote the r State-wide prohibition. If the ‘solution down, he said, it would probably amend it so that the louse would not accept it. “It begins to look as though we are whipped,” said the Senator. “A week ago we had 223 votes for the prohibition amendment. Today the ‘Wets’ have got us guessing. “Anticipating defeat on this proposi- tion, I have decided to introduce a reso- Jution calling on the General Assembly to appoint a commission of five mem- bers, two ‘Wets’ and two ‘Drys,’ the fifth to be selected by them, inves- ‘tigate the liquor question other states and particularly the operation of _ prohibition in Kansas, Iowa and Maine. “This inquiry should be so thorough that the Legislature will have no doubt as to whether the suppression of the liquor traffic is right or wrong. I ain sure it will convince everybody that the saloons and breweries are no conducive to good government.”’ “Do you think the amendment will be beaten outright?’ the Senator was asked. ' “JT don’t know about that, but if a tax rider is added and is thereby made a material part of the issue, I haven't much hope that it can pass the House of Representatives. “The amendment will be burdened in some way, I am sure. As for me, I in- tend to make the best fight I can for submission. I believe in the prohibi- tien principle. Although I am not so narrow as to- deny that there are two sides to the question.”’ The “drys,”’ as shown by the Post- Dispatch poll of the Senate, published Tuesday, are certain of only 13 senators who will vote for the proposed consti- tutional amendment without a tax rider.

make a report to the Senate until next Monday or Tuesday. “IT see no occasion to hurry action on the prohibition resolution,’ said Senator Greene today. “It is a question of vi- tal importance and we will gain nothing by haste. The Committee on Judiciary, of which I am a member, will meet to- morrow, and Friday is usually cleaning up day in the Senate.” Senator Greene is opposed to submis- sion, but as chairman of the committee having the proposed amendment under consideration he does not consider ‘it proper, he says, to emphasize his views. The St. Louis delegation of financiers which argued before Greene’s commit- tee against the prohibition resolution yesterday helped to stem the tide of prohibition sentiment, according to Sen- ate leaders who attended the hearing, although no changes are reported in the ‘Senate line-up as a result of the hear- ing. of the Committee In Favor of Submission Proposition Senator Greene's colleagues on the Constitutional Amendments ‘‘ommittee expressed the following views of the situation. ' Semator McAllister (Dem.), Monroe County: The St. Louis delegation made a fine impression on the committee. The argument that prohibition would not merely drive $100,000,000 of capital from Missouri and throw 60,000 men out of employment, but would deprive the Btate of at least $5,000,000 in revenue ‘annually, was unanswerable. It set the most ardent friends of submission to thinking. I, for one, will never con- gent to vote for the submission of the amendment until it takes a tax rider. Even then I may reject it. I feel cer- tain that the committee will report the resolution adversely or without recom- mendation and that the Conran amend- ment fixing Jan. 1, 1913, as the time when the proposed prehibition amend- ment shall become effective, if carried at the polls, will be eliminated. Senator Wilson (Dem.), Platte County: It seems to me that the advo- cates of the tax rider are fanning the flames of prohibition. I don't see how we can get away from submitting the queation to the voters. If we add a provision increasing the tax rate, the prohibitionists will make capital out of it by saying we intended by that act to defeat the amendment at the polls. The Conran amendment should not stand. I have no idea what the com- mitee is going to do about ft. We ad- Journed sine die to await the call of the chairman. Sendter Methudy (Rep.), St. Louis: hg vote will be cast against submission (Rep.), Atchison I understand I am the only | eae of the committee who believes Sag cnemesd of prohibition.

I have felt it my duty under the circumstances to vote for sub- mission. 1 attended the hearing yes- terday and was much impressed by what the St. Louis business men said concern- ing the effect of State-wide prohibition on the business interests of St. Louis. I agree with everything said in opposition to the principle of prohibition, but I do not feel that I can change in reference to the proposition of letting the voters say whether they do or do not want it. * is Senator Drunert (Dem.). Monroe County: There is no denying the fact that the most conservative and influen- tial business men and financiers of the great cities in Missouri showed the committee that prohibition does not pro- hibit, but th.t it is a failure so far as the suppression of the liquor traffic is concerned. The arguments I heard about me con- vinced me that the duty of a Senate is to refer the prohibition champions to the initiative and referendum for re- dress. Senator McDavid (Dem.). Greene County: I was unable to hear the ob- jections offered by the St. Louis dele- gation on account of being in attendance at ‘another committee hearing. Today I received petitions containing 800 sig- natures from Springfield requesting me to vote against submission. -I have been rather disposed to vote the other way. There is no need for haste.

An hour before Mrs. Ray had rejected his proposal of marriage. She believes he. returned to the house and stood by the open window and that he shot him- self when he overheard her tell two of her neighbors that she could never marry him. Mrs. Ray says she loved the young man. Because of this love she obtained a divorce from James Ray Mrch last. She did not believe it would be right for her to continue to her husband when she knew other man was her soul-mate. Yet she had no intention of marrying Dale, she Says. Feared to Injure His Prospects, “Harry’s folks are rich and I am poor,’’ she said Thursday. “I belleved that they would object to the marriage. Of course, Harry was of age, but I loved him so much that I did not want him to do anything to injure his pros- pects in life. Besides, 1 was so much older than Harry. “I met him last summer and fell in love with him. After 1 obtained my di- vorce he constantly coaxed me to marry him. “He came to my house yesterday and Was there all afternoon and evening, pleading with me to be his wife. When he went away at 9 o'clock last night I walked the gate with him.

No Trace of the Woman. A warrant was at once sworn out for her arrest and Sheriff Hiram Stephens and Deputy Sheriff Newberry have since been visiting her old haunts, thinking that she might return for a visit with acquaintances. Deputy Sheriff Newberry arrived in Springfield today and after being clos- eted with Sheriff Freeman, Chief of Po- lice Loveless and Prosecuting Attorney J. Cc. West, visited a number of other places. The home of her sister, Mrs. Rose Steinard, who lives seven miles southwest of Springfield, was also watched, but without results. Although she is reported to have been in Springfield six weeks ago, the last trace of her in this city was 11 weeks She registered at several hotels as Mrs. John Bullet, Claremore, Ok., and stated to acquaintances here she was the wife of the wealthy Indian. Called Indian Her Husband. She left February 9, stating she was going to San Antonio, Tex., for her health. Nothing has been heard of her since, until the arrival of the Oklahoma officer. During ber visit in Springfield, she referred to Bullet a number of times as her husband and talked to him over the long distance telephone on several! occasions. Although Deputy Sheriff Newberry to- day refused to discuss the case, it was learned that the woman is supposed to have gone to St. Louls following her al- leged complicity in the murder. He left this afternoon, also refusing to announce his destination. It is believed. he went to Rolla. “VICE NOT ALL IN CITIES— PURAL BABES CHEW TOBACCO A8so0- ago.

One of them, Miss Lambert, has sent a message down to the coast asking for immediate help. The women are entirely alone and de- fenseless. The villages surrounding Hadjim are in flames, and Hadjim itself is invested by Nomad tribes. Mes- seges from the interior are being sup- rressed by the authorities. The situation in the country north, east and west of Alexandretta arising from the anti-Christian outbreaks is most serious. There have been massa- cre and pillage at Antioch and rioting at Birejik. Aleppo is in a state of panic. There are cnly 400 Turkish soldiers in the city. Fus!ness is at a standstill and there is every reason to fear a serious outbreak. The city is full of Bedouin Arabs, Kurds nud Circassians. Murderers Released From Prison. The town of Kirikan, a short distance east cf Betlan\and southeast of Alexan- dreita, has been sacked and burned. At Avas, on the west coast of the Gulf of Alexandretta, 413-murderers have been released from prison. They joined the mot and began committing depredations. At Tarsus, 100 persons have been killed, houses have been burned and there are today 5000 persons without homes. Several native pastors from Aintab were killed while on their way to attend the district missionary meeting ac Adana.

Patten, the wheat king, 1000 miles from his throne and headed for a ranch far. from the railroad in Southern Colorado to rest, wheat continued to drop today. The bears, believing that the king had abandoned his fight, hammered prices merrily. July wheat near the close dropped to $1.09% and May wheat to $1.20%. May closed at that figure and July slightly above its lowest point. Traders believe the slump means the end of the bull market. ‘ Markct Opened Low. Just a week ago May wheat here geld at $1.29% and July at $1.18%. Repeated- ly aSked if he had a corner in the two deliveries, Mr. Patten emphatically de- nied that he had, asserting amidst the quotation of crop statistics and pros- pects that actual users of wheat were responsible for the high price and that the cereal was worth all that was be- ing paid for it. “Even were I entirely out of the market, prices would be as high or higher than they are,’ said the bull leader. Since then the market has been de- ¢lining in a way which the ordinary followers of Mr. Patten have been un- able to explain. Today, instead of the recovery expected after the 6-cent de- cline of Tuesday and Wednesday, the market opened extremely nervous and weak. May sold at $1.21% early, 3%c under yesterday's close and 8%c below the high price last week. July, in which the bulk o fthe trading has been done recently, declined to $1.10%, 344@3%c below yester- day’s close and 8%c under the record price last Friday. Armour Said to Be Selling.

The lost ground, it was said, would be regained without any manipulation. Timid hold- ers, it was declared, were unloading, frightened at the decline, or because their resources were insufficient to maintain them in the market. It was this class of traders mainly who expressed curiosity as to Mr. Pat- ten’s present views. Despite his asser- tion that he was not manipulating the market, they expected he would pre- vent any such slump as the present one. Patten in Colorado Snowstorm, TRINIDAD, Colo., April 22.—James A.

SIK JURORS. ARE. CHOSEN IN TRIAL CAPT, HAINS Alienist for Defense Declares Slayer Was Insane, but Has Recovered.

FLUSHING, N. Y.. April 22.—Five ju- rors for the trial of Capt. Peter C. Hains Jr., charged with the murder of William E. Annis, had been selected when the court opened its fourth day of the hearing today. William Craft, 31 years old, a con- tractor of Jamaica, L. L, later was ac- cepted as the sixth juror. Dr. 8. L. Manset, an alienist, who has been constantly in court with the prisoner, stated today that Capt. Hains, although suffering from emotional] in- sanity when he killed Annis, is now sane. The alienist declared that Capt. Hains’ mind became blank after the Killing, but that by December he was practically sane. The physician stated that the defense was not claiming that Capt. Hains was insane now, and that there would be no need for the appoint- ment of a lunacy commission, which would only delay the trial unnecessar- ily. John F. MeIntyre of Capt. Hains’ counse] said the defense contended that Capt. Hains was not now insane, al- though suffering from deep melan- cholia. District Attorney de Witt declared there would be no move by the prose- cution for the appointment of a com- mission. EE DYNAMITE FAILS TO OPEN THE ICE-LOCKED NIAGARA GORGE Explosion Scatters Crystals Long Distance, but Without Freeing Channel. FORT NIAGARA, N. Y., April 22. The great ice floe still effectively locks the mouth of the Niagara gorge, in spite of the vigorous assault upon it at 12:45 o’clock today by Assistant State Superintendent of Public Works Kunze and his force of men. The chief effect of the explosion of 10 pounds of dynamite at that time was a roar, a prolonged hiss and a liberal! sprinkling of ice within the grounds of Fort Niavara. The channel was not even opened, and the slush ice which shot 60 feet into the air fell back into the hole from which it had arisen.

or ‘ SON IS NEUTF IN ONO LACE SUIT ANST SHER Clarence Michaels Declines to Extend Aid and Sympathy to Mother.

CASE STIRS SALEM, ILL.

Wife Says Husband Has Long Been Untrue and Names Two Women.

Sy a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. SALEM. Ill., April 22.—Mrs. Sarah M. Michae!s has returned from Flora

| after enlist the aid and sympathy of her son, ‘will vainly trying for three days to Marence Michaels, in her fight for di- -orce from Sheriff Malachi W. Michaels ‘f Marion County. Clarence Michaels, vho is married and lives in Flora, de- lines to ‘“‘take sides’’ with either of nis parents. Mrs. Michaels declares she push the suit to the utmost, de- manding an equal division of her hus- band’s property in addition to absolute divorce. This divorce action. which wes insti- tuted April 12 by Mrs. Michaels, has stirred this old town, the birthplace of William Jennings Bryan, from end to end. A story which for some years has been more or less ‘‘the talk of the town,”’ under the breath, by the filing of Mrs. Michael's divorce petition, be- comes’ public property. Both Sheriff and Mrs. Michaels are natives of Salem; the wife having been Miss Sarah Taylor. She is 40 years old. Her husband is 47. Both are known to practically everybody in Salem. The Sheriff's name is a sort of household word throughout the county. Gees to Live With Neighbor. ‘The couple were married in Salem in October, 1883, and lived together until April 12, this year, the day of the fil- ing of the suit. Next day Mrs. Michaels returned to her home, packed her cloth- ing and other personal effects and went to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Edward Green, where shie is at present. In her petition Mrs. Michaels charges that for more than ten years her hus- hand has been neglectful of his marital] vows. She names two. women in par- ticular, and generalizes as to many more whose names, she says, “are unknown to her.”’ The one against whom Mrs. Michaels seems to have the bitterest feeling is Miss Stella Houts, now living with her father, Frank Houts, at Iuka, eight miles east of Salem. On March 12, exactly one month before filing her suit for divorce, Mrs. Michaels fired a shot at Miss Houts, missing her, but creating a sensation in Salem. She was not arrested. Dreaded Humiliation. Mrs. Michgels acmits that she had been aware of her husband's alleged indiscretions for years, but had dreaded the humiliation of going to court. “IT could stand it no longer,”’ she said today, “when [I saw my husband, ip open divilight, making love to Stella Houts. | had no intention of killing her —I shot mereiy to scare her. When we lived in California—from 1887 to 1897—I became an expert pistol shot. I could have shot her through the heart had [I wanted to do so.”’ Stella Houts was housemaid in the Mi- chaels family for four years. She is 24 years of age. She was still working for Mrs. Michaels when the latter fired at her. In her petition Mrs. Michaels alleges that while she was undergoing treatment in St. Luke’s Hospital, St. Louis, dur- ing the months of slarch and April, 1908, her husband was attentive to Stella Houts in their own home. Another Woman Named. ‘“Viola,”’ said to be 25 years old, is an- other woman named in Mrs. Michael's petition. The wife alleges that for four years, beginning in 1902, Sheriff Michaels showered improper attentions upon “Viola,” who lived then in Romine Township, four miles from Salem. It is said she lives now tn St. Louis. Mrs. Michaels, in praying for an equa! division of the property, says her hus- band has$15,000 and 320 acres of Mar- ion County lands. The Sheriff denies that he is worth that much. “My wife and I lived together,’ he Said today to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘for a month after she fired the shot at Stella Houts. We discussed the prob- lem of divorce and separation in a friendly way. I offered to keep. $4000 and let her have the rest, but she de- Clined. Then I offered to take $3000 for my part, but she declined that. I of- fered to build her a house and give her Separate maintenance, paying ali ex- penses, but she declined that. “Then she made me a proposition that I pay her $30 a month and pay her doctor and nurse bills. I declined that Must Run Course in Courts. “I was willing to lve with her, though I am innocent of all the charges she makes against me, until the time she went away. Now that she has brought this suit no proposition for set- tlement will be considered. The affair must run its course in the courts,”’ Sheriff Michaels denies that he ever neglected his marriage vows. He de- Clares that the stories are the result of political and personal spite. “Stella Houts,” says the Sheriff, “was our housegirl for a year before Mrs. Michaels went to the hospital in St. Louls. My wife had an attack of ty- phoid fever, with after effects which required an operation. “When she went to the hospital I told her I thought we should get rid of Stella during her absence, but she laughed at the idea. She declared she had no suspicions against me and in- sisted that the gir) should remain in the house while she was away.”

SEPARATED FROM WIFE

Declares When He Went After His Clothes Boarder As- saulted Him.

Going upon the stand in his own be- half Thursday, James E. Clark assert- ed positively that he shot Joseph g, Flood in self-defense, after Fleod had attacked him, and that he continued to shoot Flood after his victim was down because he was beside himself with ex- citement. Caustic cross-examination by Assistant Circult Attorney Griffin failed to shake Clark’s version of the trag- ¢dy. Flood, a telegrapher, was shot and killed at the Clark home, 3420 Bell ave- nue, where he was a boarder, Dec. 56 last. Clark had been estranged frem his wife, and did not stay at the house all the time. Swears He Was Attacked. He said on the stand that he went to the house to pack his clothes, pre- paratory to going to Jefferson City, his former home. Flood, he said, wag in the .parlor, his presence unknown te Clark, and the* boarder attacked him as soon as he entered the room. Clark testified that he drew his re- volver and shot Fleod to save his own life, and that he continued te shoot because he was excited. Did Not Remember Detati« Other witnesses had testified that Clark continued to shoot Flood after the man had jumped through the window, rolled down the steps and was on his knees begging Clark for merey. As- sistant Circuit Attorney Griffin asked Clark about this, and the defendant re- plied that he remembered nething ex- cept that he continued te shoot till his revolver was empty. Griffin asked the defendant if it were not a fact that he went to the heuse to shoot Tom Cox, hig step-son, with whom he had quarreled, and that he shot Flood by mistake. Clark denied this. Former Senator Frank Farris, who is defending Clark, examined him at great length. ‘The case was begun in Judge Allen's ¢ivisien of the Criminal Court Wednesday . :

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 22.—Ru- adtph Buol, 55 years old. was assass!- nated at a late hour rast night while aaféep. A murderer opened Mr. Buol’s bdfroom window and placed a stick of dynamite on his bed, exploding it with afuse. | Buol was killed instantly. His wife, who was asleep at his side, escaped in- jury. The room was practically demolished. A large hole was torr in the floor at tlf@*side of the bed. The bed itself was wrtcked. Aj there was a large hole in the ceil- ing over the bed, it is believed Mr. Buol was thrown against the ceiling and the ndfe was made by his head. *Rat’’ Dyer, stepson of Buol, has been ‘J eleconi Permanent” Says Elmer Edwards St. Louis Man Took Treat- ment for Torpid Condi- tions, Nervousness and Rheumatism Several Years Ago, and Was Cured.

The Following Interview with Mr, Edwards Shows that Tele- coni Results Are Lasting—‘‘I Have Had Only One Headache Since,’’ He Says. That Teleconi is a permanent cure fo® constipation, torpid liver rheumatism is shown in the case of Elmer Edwards, whose place of busi- nes§ is at 2939 Olive street, St. Louis. The writer pearing that Mr. Ed-

For, as he said: “My cul has been thoroughly tested by tine. I suffered for many years with torpid bowels and liver.

ARTIST ADMITS | TEALING LACE AND ART WORKS} Henry Weidenbach, Arrested in St. Louis, Confesses in Cincinnati. ROBBED HOMES OF RICH | Sold Valuable Shawi to Fam- ily, Into Which Priest Intro- duced Him.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, O., April ' 92.—Henry Weidenbach, the artist and restorer of pictures who was arrested in St. Louis charged with robbing the homes of his wealthy patrons in this city, made a confession to Detective Kuhfers today which clears the mystery surrounding the ownership of a number of valuable pieces of lace and objects of art which he is accused of stealing. The Cincinnati police are confident that the confession made by Weiden- bach will lead to the recovery of a ma- jority of the articles said to have been stolen. Among the articles reported as missing to the police was a valuable lace shawl worth seevral hundred dollars and more than a century old. This shawl Weidenbach says he took from the apartments of Mrs. A. L. Sanford, in the Ortiz Apartment Build- ing, and sold to a family in Louisville. The police have not divulged the name of the family. Introduced by Priest. In addition Weidenbach says he sold tiie same Louisville family a quantity of valuable late, and. that he was intro- duced to the family by a priest of St. Duminick’s Church of Louisville. In selling the lace Weidenbach says he tolé the purchaser that it was from the dress of a famous princess and beauty of the time of the French Em- pire, and obtained a high price for it. According to the police, the confession contains statements regarding jewels, laces and art objects taken from the homes of Harry M. Levey and G. C. Fries of this city, and discloses the pawnshops and private persons who were purchasers of the loot. In his confession it is said, Weiden- bach said he intended to dispose of the valuables in St. Louis, but was pre- vented from doing so by his arrest. It is said he told the police where he had secreted some of his loot in St. Louis, and an effort is being made to re- cover it. Women’s Name Is Learned, A new phase of the case developed today when the police learned the iden- tity of the Detroit woman to whom Weidenbach is said to have been en- gaged to be married. Her name is being withheld, but it is said that some jew- elry and other valuables have been traced to her and that they were sent to the woman by Weidenbach as pres- ents. It was found, when Weidenbach was taken from the police headquarters to Justice Muller’s court this morning for a preliminary examination, that several important witnesses in the case were out of the city. Because of this the hearing was postponed and will be held tomorrow when the witnesses return. TRIG OF MEN ARE ARRESTED FOR STEALING THREE HORSES Boistrousness Caused Their Arrest —Privilege of Sleeping in Stable Was Misused. Three bareheaded men, all intoxi- cated, mounted-.on. three big fron-gray horses wearing blankets, with brass trimmings on the bridles, rode west on Howard street about 11 o'clock Wednes- day night, creating quite a stir in that neighborhood. They zigzagged from one side of the street to the other, the hoofs of the horses and the shouts of the rid- ers arousing many citizens. : At Eleventh street two policemen caught the horsemen and took them to the North Market Street Police Station, where they were locked up. On the brass mountings of the bridles were the letters ‘““M. VU.” This clew led to the discovery that the | animals belonged to the Mound Chair Co., at 1700 North Broadway. The men, who are held on a charge of stealing horses, gave their names, ages and addresses as follows: Ralph Reed, 26, Pine Lawn, St. Louis County: Daniel McGrath, 25, 3772 Olive street, and Daniel Daley, 27, 2819 North Twelfth street. The boss at the Mound Chair Co. sta- bles said that Reed had applied to him fur permission to sleep on the premises, saying He was far from home and with- ou: funds. Pérmission was granted. Bnt Reed's desire for sleep didn’t last long.

The custom of extorting dowries has grown into the very fabric of the social life, and is a standing disgrace to the Bengali community, which has no justi- fication to plead or apology to offer.

WASHINGTON, April 22.—An execu- tive order from ‘the White House has put another Roosevelt policy in the scrapbook. The recent - President in- sisted that all information wanted by Congress should go through the White House and a Congressman or a Sena- tor getting anything out ef a depart- ment without a peremptory note from the President was regarded with won- der and some suspicien by his cok leagues. Mr. Roosevelt, in the Tennessee Ceal and Iron case, drew the line even closer, refusing te recognize the right of Cen- gress to have the information it re quested. President Taft has issued an executive order to all departments of the Govern- ment that informatien requested by either heuse shall be furnished directly by the department. The White House is not to be asked to pass on the ques- tion, unless the head ef the particular department is in grave doubt of the public pelicy -of- giving the information. In that case, the President will act as referee. Rusy Bee Bargain Day Tomorrow.

I saw him his head nodding and fearing he would go to sleep and miss his car I shook him I didn’t know he was a policeman. I thought I was doing him a kind turn and this is what I get for it.’’ Schoo insitste@ that Wilson had tried to take his watch from his vest pocket, and Wilson was locked up to await action by the Prosecuting Attorney.

Boyle from the Mercer last County Jail was made night, according to officials at the jail. That the effort failed was due to the vigilance of Night Watchman Robert Fruit, who discovered a ladder resting against the jail wall, directly under the window of Boyle’s cell. It was apparently the intention to saw the bars from the outside and re- lease the prisoner. Fruit called ‘the guards and the jail was watched closely the rest of the night.

Food is higher now than ever it has been in the last 50 years, which is as far back as one can get any facts from the memory of those who were then and are now purveyors. P. M. Kiely, a commission merchant, who has been on the St. Louls market 43 years, said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Thursday: “I have never seen foodstuffs so high as they are this spring. I don’t know what the poor are going to do if prices continue to rise. Of course, the early summer will bring some relief when vegetables get to be more plentiful. “I have just found a price schedule in my desk from 1895, just 14 years ago, and, as experienced as I am in the prices of commodities, when I looked at the prices of that year and the prices now I was amazed. I would not have guessed there would have been so great a difference, so gradually have the high prices crept upon us.

Meats are about the same this spring ' as last, but the quality is not so good. Pork is higher. The reason given is - that farmers are not feeding their high- priced corn to their hogs. Where they fed a bushel before, they are cutting the ration in half. The result is that lean "| “The high price of meat and other .. foods ha& made the American women " come down to the coarser cuts,” said a butcher at Union Market. “There is 7 an old saying that the Germans and © french live on what we throw away. ' The German and the French women know how to utilize cuts of meat and make appetizing dishes out of things that an American woman would turn up her nose at. The American women are coming to it, however, and I pre- dict that when they learn that there are other good parts to a beef than porterhouse, tenderloin and sirloin roasts and filets, they will beat their French and German sisters at making them appetizing. “Many of my customers are well-to- ' Go people, not the richest, but those 7) who in days past bought the very best > cuts of the choicest corn-fed beef.

THINKS DR. FLESTCNER,. TY ENOUGH OPPORYUNITY PF For, THIS SORT OF THING IN $T-LOUIS,

The Rev. Dr. Fletcher Suggests That Oppor- tunity for Quiet Talks Should Re Avail- able Under Proper Surroundings.

BY MARGUERITE MARTYN. HAT there this city for ‘‘courting places’’ is the observation of the Rev. Dr. Philip Cone Fletcher, the young South- erner, is a crying need in who recently came to minister to the spiritual needs of the congrega- Methodist Church “You might as well try to keep the sun from shining as to keep youth from yearning for association with its kind, and it is as cruel as it is futile to attempt to stifle so human an im- pulse,” he said. “Yet, what provision is made for that vast class of young people who have no homes of their own in which to become acquainted with persons for whom they might feel an especial sympathy?” “The young men and women who in boarding houses where they have never a moment’s privacy and those who must live in the homes of their employers are obliged to seek this sort of companionship outside. Where are they welcomed to any sort of seclu- sion except in winerooms, beer gardens or the chilly wilderness of th parks? Society frowns upon the laxity of these places, and yet society is probably re- sponsible for the fact that these places are utilized. Therefore society should attempt to correct such conditions. Minister Is Poetic, but Essentially Human. O spoke Dr. when, after my reception in the formal par- lor of the parsonage, I was invit- ed into the warmth of the cherriest clerical study it has been my experience to encounter. The cordiality of Mrs. Fletcher, who has arranged this com- fortablevand inspiring retreat for her husband and his visitors, and whose presence pervades it, is sufficient to emphasize the innospitaMty of the world outside. Dr. Fletcher himself is of the poetic type, with those romantic, prematurely gray flowing locks. He has the warm- hearted, spontaneous manner of the traditional Southerner and it seemed the most natural thing in the world to be discussing with him for publication this subject usually considered too in- timate te be of general concern. ‘Formerly people were divided into three classes, men, women and preach- ere,” centinued Dr. Fietcher. “Now preachers are breaking into the ‘men class.’ It is in this capacity that I sym- pathize with my fellow men in their love affairs.

provide the right society for lenely in- dividuals is unsolved, Refined Young People Are at a Disadvantage. HE dire necessity of such a pro- vision was first brought forci- bly to my mind in San Fran- cisco, my previous pastorate. There is a social condition there which is pe- culiar. San Francisco seems to be a sort of jumping-off place. Young people, from the most refined homes all over the country drift there to seek their fortunes in the fabled Golden West, and they often are obliged to begin at the lowest rounds of the social ladder. “One ef the most attractive and in- tellectual yotng women I have ever known was chambermaild in a palatia! home in that city, utterly fsolated from her kind. My wife and I called upon her as my ministerial duty required and she had no place in which to receive us. There are similar cases of social im- poverishment in this city and not only among the wage earners, but among those who come to a big city to study or to get a stari in life. The ones of the more intellectual turn usually drift towari a so-called Bohemian existence. Danger of Winerooms Should Be Avoided. Cf since these private restau- rants and winerooms, where young people separate into pairs and small groups, seem to be more conducive to confidences than any other public gathering place, if some scheme could be devised along the same lines, but strictly in accordance with the de- mands of good society, without the at- tendant evils of these places, with the elimination of the sordidness and en- tailing loss of self-respect and other objectionable and harmful features, the problem might be solved. “But I only make suggestions. I am not able to carry out such a plan or | should not hesitate to do so. Of course such a public stand upon a subject re- garded as delicate would bring down ridicule upon my head. That courtship and marriage is regarded as Strictly a private affair is more or less regretta- ble, I think. But as for ridicule, every néw moral movement is ridiculed gt first. The question is, is it worthy encugh to survive? “I think anyone would be justified in giving a great deal of time and atten- tion to the selution of this problem of the dearth of proper meeting places for homeless young — in this city.”

DUCHESS ASSERT BRUTAER TitD UP ATHERS ESTATE Yznaga’s Daughters, After 17 Years, Sue to Set Aside Probate of Will. —

NEW YORK, April 22.—Alleging that, after 17 years they have just learned that their brother, now dead, had connived to tie up the estate of their father to their detriment, Consuelo, Dowager Duchess of Manchester; Lady Natica Lister-Kaye and Emily Yznaga yesterday began suit in the Supreme Court to have the probate of the will in Pennsylvania set aside. The complainants are daughters of Antonio Yznaga del Valle, the wealthy Cuban planter, who died in this city in May, 1892. They want the will, as proved in Philadelphia at the instance of their brether, Fernando Antonio YZnaga, in September, 1892, declared null and void and ask that it be submitted to the New York courts for construc- tion. If the will is proved here the plaintiffs Will clip several years off the time al- lotted before they will come in for a share of the estate. Say Will Would Be Invalid. They assert that by the laws of Penn- Sylvania the estate may be disposed for two lives, while such a will would be invalid in this state. Antonio Ygnaga was a beau in New York society and his family was fam- Ous for {ts beautiful women. When he died his personal estate in this city was Valued at $50,000 and his Cuban planta- tion at much more. The defendants named in the suit are Frederick I. Bldridge and Harry B. Hollins, as trustees; Harry B. Hollins and William K. Vanderbilt, as executors of the will of Ferando Antonio Yznaga, the dead brother; Edward C. Rhodes, as executorwef the will of Elien M. Yznaga; William Angus Drogo, Duke of Manchester: Alexander George Francis Drogo. Viscount Mandeville, Mary Alice Montagu and Bilen Milicent Montagu. The three last are grandchildren of the Dowager Duchess of Manchester.

GIRL RAISED FUND FOR MARRIAGE bY PAWNING A RING a Transaction Results in Ser- vant’s Being Arrested on Theft Charg

SHE HAS CONFESSED

Pawned Ring to Raise Wed- ding Funds—She Surren- ders Pawn Ticket.

Whether Hulda Gehner, who is known to belong to a St. Louis family of cul- ture and refinement, used her own pol- ish of manner to obtain employment as a@ servant in homes where migit have opportunity to steal jewelry and Other articles of value is bei investi- gated by the police. The young woman ts held at the New- stead Avenue Police Station on a charge of stealing a $300 diamond ring from her employer, Mrs. Roger Hatch, 4631. Wash- ington boulevard. Miss Gehner admits taking the rine, but merely “borrowed” it to obtain money for her wedding. A warrant charging based on the ring charge was ordered issued against Miss. Geliner Thursday by Assistant Cireuit Attorney Ialken- hd@iner. Miss Gehner is accused also of taking a sealskin coat, valued at $459, and a man’s suit of clothes from the Hatch home. She denies both these accusa- tions. Therpolice say, that while she was employed as a servant at Mrs, Caroline Mackman’'s home, 4361 Papin street, a gold watch was missed. She protests that she knows nothing abouf' the watch. The young woman has been emploved recently at 3749 Delmar boulevard. She was arrested there Wednesday night. Since her arrest she has talked of her- self reluctantly, but she told the police where the pawn ticket for Mrs. Hatch’s diamond ring might be found. Didn’t Want to Steal, “I didn’t want to steal,’’ she said to a Post-Dispatch reporter, Thursday. “Mrs. Hatch had a great deal of valu- able jewelry which she frequently left where I could have taken it easily. There were other rings worth more than the one I took. “IT expected to get married and needed some money. I thought I would take the ring and get money on it. I didn’t expect to have to keep it long, and thought I could return it without there being any trouble. “The man I was to marry was a rail- road detective. I went to the Numa House, a hotel at 1609 Market street, to be married. My sweetheart told me he was busy on a special case in East St. Louis and said he would be back tn a few days and we would be married. Sweetherrt Got the Money. “T had pawned the ring for $30. I could have gotten a lot more on it, but I only got what I needed and what I thought I could pay back easily. |] gave the $30 to my sweetheart. “at the end of a week he returned and said he was going to Texas. I haven't seen him since. If he had kept his word and married me, there would not have been any of this trouble, and the ring would have been returned long aso.”’ WOULD-BE SUICIDE AIMS AT HIS HEAD AND HITS A TOMATO CAN IN A GROCERY Policeman and Surgeon Give Him Up for Dead Until Friend Sees His Eye Twitch. By Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, April 22.—One of the most surprised and disappointed men in New York yesterday was Charles Hein- bruck, a middle-aged painter, of 319 East Twenty-first street. After a quar- rel with s wife Heinbruck decided upon suicide. Armed with a loaded re- volver of a calibre heavy enough for big game nunting in .«frica, he called at 4 p. m. upon his dearest friend, Henry Wishmann, at the latter’s groc- ery store fer a farewell. The visitor leaned over the counter, drew his revolver, pressed the muzzle to his right temple and ured. He fel), writhed an instant and then lay motion- less. | “He’s dead,” yelled the grocer as he raced out of the store and found a po. liceman. “Yes,” said the policeman. “But I’) call an ambulance as a matter of form." wr Burke came from Bellevue Hos- pital, made a quick examination of the figure and started back toward the am- ~~ ANnce, “You want a Coroner, not a doctor," said he. Just then Wishmann who had been gazing sadly on the upturned face of his friend, gave a shout. “His eye! It twitched!” grocer. Back rushed the doctor and Heinbruck sat up and growled: “What all this about? Didn't I she ne says she grand larceny and too,

yelled the s00n ‘shoot myself and ain't I dead?” He had only a tiny abrasion on the temple where his head had struck the floor. It was not a bullethole as every- one had supposed. The only bullethole was found in a can of tomatoes on a top shelf. ,

vwr"“s - Planet Will Be Mere 35,000,000 Million Miles Away and Mirror Signals Should Give Valuable Hints to Fans and Others.

is a chance to answer the H question, the prohibition riddle, the pennant puzzle and several other problems over which St. Louis is worrying. Prof. Pickering of Harvard, an as- tronomer of world-wide fame, has an- nounced that he has devised a system of mirror signals by which it will be ERE Drew | possible to talk with the inhabitants of Mars next July. The warlike planet will then be only 35,000,000 miles from St. Louis, 5,000,000 miles closer than it ever has been. Many scientists contend that the in- habitants of Mars in many respects. are of a high order of intelligence, and that, by reason of their centuries of accumulated experience, they might be in a position to give valuable tips to St. Louis. There is the waterways question, for instance. They have had 14 feet through the valley so long on Mars that it is no longer a matter of comment there. Poetry Flashed Through Space. If one of those mirror stations is put up on the roof of the Mercantile Club Building, William Flewellyn Saunders, the poet of deep water, may flash this message: O, tell us, pray, ye Martians wise, How will we get the water, So we can run our boats down stream As often as we oughter. It is a fact well known to science that Martians have long since outgrown the poetry stage. In one quick flash the answer will come back: “Dig.” Should one of the magic mirrors be installed while the Browns are playing that mid-July series with the Chicago White Sox the fans of St. Louls may keep the line busy with inquiries as to the whereabouts of that renowned pinch hitter, Dode Criss.

The Martians, being in a _ position where they can look down on this little mundane sphere, will come right back with the information that Dode is mak ing hay down on his farm at Blossom, Tex. Baseball, like everything else, has made great strides on Mars, according to the scientists. They have no umpires and no regular batting order, it is said. The initiative and referendum rule the game up there. Will Learn to Be Au Fait, Though scientists on earth have a hazy idea as to how this system works, the mirror messages will tell St. Louis fans. just what they must do to be strictly up to date. It is known in a general way that the Martians have outdone Edison in apply- ing the sound-reproducing principle to baseball. The voices of the fans také the place of the umpire. Back of the home plate there is an extremely sensitive diaphragm which operates a system of signals. Balls and strikes are called by the spectators in unison and the majority vibratipns are instantly responded to by the signal post. The decision is final. In the same way the spectators decide on the infield plays. The pecullar sound vi- bration caused when a fly lands in an outfielder’s. glove automatically regis- ters itself at.the signal post, showing that the batter is out. The fans also, in the same way, de- cide the order in which the players shall bat. This would seem to give an advantage to the home team, but it Is only temporary and is evened up when the team is out of town. The Martians also are expected to tell St. Louis when the Free Bridge will be built and when the grade crossings wil! be abolished.

NEW YORK, April 22.—In a decision yesterday by Judge Ward of the United States Circuit making perma- nent the receivership of the estate of the late Charlies T. Yerkes, it is un- qualifiedly stated that the widow, who occupies tne famous mansion and art gallery at 864 Fifth avenue, is illegally retaining possession of the property and is not its owner, as she claims. Mrs. Yerkes is dangerously ili and knows nothing of recent important legal proceedings bearing upon her share of her husband's estate. Since April 6, when the temporary receiver was ap- pointed, guards have been maintained night and day in the mansion, but their presence is still hidden from the sick woman, her lawyer, James R. Seeley, fearing that the’ news might be fatal to her. Court, ceiver, made permanent by yesterday's éccision, will continue to keep the guards i, the mansion. Whether he will com has not been determined. The receiver- ship will only be teFminated upon con-

: A Hard Problem. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Would some kind reader tell me what to do? I have not a living friend in this world. I am mar- ried and have a sweet little girl, 4 years old. My husband is good when he is sober, but when he is drunk he chokes me and beats me terribly. I left him three times and am married five years. Each | time he promised he would not drink. Now, I am going to leave and want to take the furniture along. It is not all paid for. I paid most of it by washing. Can he claim it? Please tell me, am I doing right or wrong? I am a hard-working woman and he has no cause to treat me as he does. Let me hear from somebody. MRS. K. F. And Echo Answers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Kipling was wrong. A woman is not a rag and a bone and a hank of hair. The one in front ef me at the theater last night was a whole hair mattress. Such display should remain on the bargain counter at a department store when “rats’’ were offered at 19 cents. Why did she do it? Why did she do it? If women want to attract men, and some philosopher has declared they do, they should abandon the freak hair dress, OSCAR. Other Side of the Medal. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. One of the morning papers intimates that the “drys’’ should provide for 100,000 unemployed men, women and children which would result in St. Louis from State-wide probihition. It should be borne in mind tnat the State and city governments could sup- port many more than 100,000 unemployed on less than they are now required to spend as a direct result of liquor, not considering the crime, misery and vice justly attributable to intoxicants. The public should realize that those bankers, real estate and business men working through their influence and organiza- tions to defeat prohibition, must have souls no great- er than dollars and are unable to rise above dollars, even though the commercial demoralization they pic- ture so graphically is imaginary. . Some Women Love Home. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. To the weman who wanted to know what wife could dress well, read and collect books and have any time to go out, I wish to say, many wives do and more could if they cared to. Some women find more pleasure in their homes than they would in pa- rading the streets with the latest hat on. It is a mistaken idea that fine clothes make happiness or that it takes such a handsome salary to support a small family on. I know a family of four that live nicely on $600 a year, in a small town. The wife wears tailor-made clothes (not two a year) and has nice hats. The children are neatly but not extrav- agantly dressed, and they have access to more books and magazines than they care to read. I prefer my home and the love and appreciation of my family to the nicest office in the world, and the stenog- rapher may decide she does, too, when she gets the right chance. A WIFE OF TEN YEARS. Women in Municipal Affairs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatct. Rev. Mr. Peters writes concerning women’s gam- bling. He says whist, with women, “usurps public spirit and civic duty, belittling life and crewding out all nobler aspirations.”” What have women to do with public @pirit? I haven’t heard them called on for anything special except to do their frantic best to add to the longed-for million population! They are forbidden to hold office, not only in regard to things usually considered out of their sphere, but offices which are distinctly in line with housekeep- ing and homemaking duties, such as sanitation and the public schools. We have jll-conducted rooming houses, winerooms, indecent nickelodeons, filthy and overcrowded tenements, insufficient fire escapes, the white slave traffic, unsanitary factories. Why urge a “sense of civic duty” in regard to these things when after all of a womans’ tears and prayers and remonstrances and earnest striving, & string of aliens and drunken rowdies can walk down to the polls and laughingly vote to perpetuate these things? LULU MacCLURE CLARKE. St. Louis Made Goods. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If L. J. W. will read Cigarmaker’s views, published in your issue of the 10th inst., he will find two con- tentions: First, the dealers giving preference to outside-made cigars, in the face of the fact that he can purchase equally as good, if not better quality, and at less prices. Second, the St. Loujsan purchas- ing cigars irrespective of the place of manufacture. I contend if the statements made by Cigarmaker are true, then they must have a very poor Class ef sales- men that cannot induce the dealers to push their Mine of goods in preference to all others, price and quality being equal. On the other hand, if the quali- ty is there and the price lower, the salesmen should have a dead cinch on the trade. Recently I have seen a wagon on out streets decorated with various signs, advertising St. Louis-made cigars. This may be one of the results of discussing the question of patronizing home industry. If it is not, ft is a move in the right @irection. The manufacturer cannot blame the consumer for purchasing the article that suits him best, if he does not advertise where his specialty can be purchased.

A PROHIBITION FAILURE. From the New York Commercial. In Bangor, Me., just now the county jail presents an object lesson that is a not unusual concomitant of prohibition in the states that are wrestling with that policy. This jail is more than half a century old, with imperfect sanita- tien and no hospital facilities, has only 4 cells but at present is harboring 114 prisoners; two and sometimes three prisoners are crowded tegether in one small cell—youngsters and oldsters all huddled together indiscriminately and without any effort at separating vicious criminals from youthful first offenders. These conditions, as explained by the County Sheriff, are brought about by the influx of prisoners sent up from the pelice courts for intoxication for short terms, forty-five or sixty days. The “Bangor plan,” it will be recalled, is a system in a prohibition State that permits about 125 barrooms to be ep- erated practically “‘wide epen,”’ the pro- prietors submitting to search-and-seiz- ure and fines once or twice a year— which really is a high-license scheme. Much of the liquor sold is vile, “‘chain- lightning’ stuff and easily produces “drunks and disorderlies’’ in numbers— hence the disgusting condition ef the Bangor jail. The situation there, says the Hartford (Conn.).Times, “is fur- ther proof of the old truth that in pop- ulous centers prohibition doesn’t pro- hibit. It also indicates once more the uselessness of the jail as a penalty for drunkenness. From the conclusion that the policy of sending drunkards to jail for a few weeks js a penal, social and economic failure dissent is impessible. Of all judicial schemes ever tried for the treatment of drunkenness this is the least effective.” Still, the people of Maine continue to create legislatures that refuse to provide the machinery for resubmftting the question of prohi- bition to popular vote, and the sham of the system and the abuses under it continue also. If the people there would only be honest with themselves, they would at least give some other system a fair trial. ee

PROHIBITION DEBATE. PRO. N MAINE the prohibition law Has filled the savings banks until The humblest citizén may have An automobile if he will; And no one ever owes a bill Or tells you to come round again In that discreet old state, and that Is what the drys have done for Maine. CON. In Maine the prohibition law Is such a failure that they would Repeal it gladly and return To licensed liquor if they conld; But business is so very good With all the joints that it is vain To speak of it, and that is what The situation is in Maine. WHAT WE MUST BELIEVE. In Maine the prohibition law Is seen according to the views One entertains, or whether one IW for or is opposing booze; As David said, all men abuse The truth, and it is pretty plain We have no means of knowing what The situation is in Maine.

THE NEW GAME LAW. The most noticeable feature of the new Missouri game law is the open season for nenresidents. This wary game bird may be taken from Jan. 1 to Jan. 1, and unless he is equipped with a $25 nonresident license the nearest magistrate gets his money, his gun, his watch and his bird dog, if any. Aside from this provincial provision, the new game law will be banzaid by every sportsman in the State. It abso- lutely prohibits the sale of game, thus reducing to a minimum the suspicion that you bought it if you bring home any. It also identifies the snowbird of the city restaurant as a quail sold and served in violation of law, and opines that the young owl of the urban rath- skellar is in fact a prairie chicken which hooteth not in the stilly night. Very good, in the main.

THE GREATER DANGER. “Don’t you imagine that Hedges is in some danger of going broke on that new grandstand?” ‘“‘What are the prices in it?’’ “I think they range from 75 cents to $1.25."" “No, I don’t believe there is much danger that it will break Hedges; but I wouldn't be surprised if it busted us.”’ _— eK IN A NUTSHELL. “Did you ever hear a good definition for socialism?’ "Yeas." ‘“‘What is it?” “A protest.” AT TABLE, Boarder: Please pass the cream-by- comparison.

“Pippins and Peaches’’ is the title of a dainty book made of epigrams by Madame Qui Vive and illustrated by Penrhyn Stanlaws, Which the Reilly & Britton Co, has publshed. FoNowing are some of the bright spots: W OMAN’S intuition is so keen that she can guess everything except the truth and discover anything except fhe facts. What do we care if beauty is only skin deep? We don’t want to swim in it. You cannot paint the lily and the rose, But Lily and Rosie can. Mustn’t blame a woman for being two-faced. She has the one nature gave her and the one the beauty doc- tor sold her. Some people never feel right unless there’s something the matter with them. Love is a lump in your throat and the sight of somebody makes it feel bet- ter. Before marriage lovemaking is recre- ation. After marriage it is an occupa- tion. Considering the modern novel, one dare not say one’s life is an open book. Beautifying is a harmless habit. The dear girls are only preserving peaches. Xantippe never had a chance to give her side of the story. Talk is cheap but adjectives are giv- en away. A woman without artificial loveliness doesn’t look natural.

he isn't pitiless at all He has un- pleasant things to do, and does them. He is the man on whom the railroad relies to repress the breaks out inthe mountains at times and interferes with the operating of the road. It frightens people away, and prevents others from coming in to settle. Railroads want law and crder. Robbery and murders don't make husiness for railroads. Th--- de- pend on settlers for developing a country, don’t vou know: otherwise they would have no traffic, not to speak of wanting their trains and men let alone.

He is terrible. mv dear to law- less men, not to anyone else, He is terrible in resource and in daring, but not in anything else I know of, and I knew him when he was a boy and wore 2 pink worsted scarf when he went skating.” “T should liked to have seen searf.’’ said Dicksie, reflectively. that She i rame., lawlessness that |

Rain was falling. but Dicksie put on her close-fitting black coat. raised the door-flap, and walked noiselessly from the tent and up behind him. ‘“‘Alone in the rain?’ she asked. She had expected to see at her voice. but he did not, though he rose and turned around, “Not now.” he answered as he offered her his box with a smile. “Are you taking your hat off for me in the rain? Put it on again!” she tin- sisted with a little tone of command, and she was conscious of gratification when- he obeyed amiably. “T won’t take vou box unless vou can find ancther'!” she said. “Oh. vou have another! TI came out to tell vou what a dreadful man I thought you were, and to apologize.” “Never mind apologizing. Tots of people think worse than that of me and don't apologize.

But here is the singular thing tiat happened: I opened _up my office and had nothing to dj; they didn’t seem to want any right of way just then. I kept getting my check every month, and wasnt doing a hand’s turn but riding over the country and shooting jack rabbits. But, Lord, I love this country! Did you know I used to be a cowboy in the mountains years ago? Indeed I did. I know it almost as well as you do. I mined more or less in the meantime. Occasionally I would go to Bucks—you say you don’t know him?—too bad—and tell him, candidly I wasn’t doing a thing to earn my salary. At such times he would only ask me how I liked the job,”’ and Whispering Smith’s heavy eyebrows rose in mild surprise at the recollection. “One day when I was talking with him he handed me a telegram from the desert saying that a night operator at a lonely station had been shot and a switch misplaced and a train nearly wrecked. He asked me what I thought of it. I discovered that the poor fellow had shot himself, and in the end we had to put him in the insane asylum to save him from the penitentiary—but that was where my trouble began. “Tt ended in mv having to organize the special service on the whole road to look after a thousand and one things that nobody else had—well, let us say time or inclination to look after: Fraud and theft and violence and all that sort of disagreeable thing.

TO TRAP A FLEA HAT the flea is elusive is prover. + bial, but th the Bureau of En- tomology of the Department of Agriculture in Washington has hit upon a plan to circumvent the irritating little insect, by which any housekeeper may rid herself of a visitation within a very short time. Fill a glass three-fourths with water, on top of which pour about an inch of olive oil, then place a night float (a little wick inserted in a cardboard disk or in a cork disk) in the center of the oil. Place the tumbler in the center of a soup plate filled with strong soap- suds. The wick should be lighted at night on retiring. As the soup-plate- soapsuds trap is placed on ‘he floor of the room it does not interfere with the sleeper, and the fleas which are on the fioor are attracted to the ..ght.

The mystery remains unsolved. The ings of “Junius” have long since become “classics’—perhaps the only works in all literature whose authorship is utterly unknown. Beginning in November, 1768, a series of letters appeared tn the Public Advertiser fiercely attacking the Government, flaying public a) demanding greater liberty for the British people at large. The ‘writer, with a lash of satiric scorn and keen invective, assailed the foremost men of the — day, even England’s King, George III. The letters were couched in a flawless English.

But, of all sti men thus placed, on none could the authorship be fixed. No less than thirty-seven people (one or two women among the were accused of writing the Junius letters. One of these supposed was the American General Lee of Revolutionary fame. Lee’s claim was ed by three experts who “proved” the handwriting of Junius to be identical ith Lee’s. The only flaw in this statement was that nearly a dozen other Ss persons’ handwriting was declared by “experts’’ to be precisely the same as of Junius. A number of people at various times eagerly eonfessed themselves Junius. But one after another, their assertions were disproved. The most nearly credible of all these supposititious authors was Sif Ph His son and others brought forth testimony which convinced Francis was Junius.

OOKING anything but the downca st tail-enders of the National League \' pace of 1908, the Cardinals, in charze of Roger Bresnahan, breezed into \ St. Louis this morning shortly afte: 7 7 o’clock, and dispersed at once., A {@w early fans were at the station to greet the youngsters, who have made tT an improved showing under the m The team was elated over its victory at Cincinnati yesterday, in the course which their former teammate, Kar- gér, was driven from the Reds’ box egrly in the fray. The Cardinals had t unique record of having made 14 r@ne off 18 hits a Cincinnati sries. resnahan’s lads have pleased the fans of two cities by their dash and vigor. At Chicago they held the Cubs t@ an eveh break; and they played Cin- efineti three excellent games. The men have shown daring and willingness, and liresnahan is more than satisfied with tBe manner In which his supposed weak- lifes have come to the front. He says: ‘It's too early to say anything yet. e race is hardly begun and form will nét become settled for a month. Yet the team is doing well and I have hopes that if will become a first-class base- bah club. I will probably work Sallee this afternoon.” The Cubs arrived in the city an hour later from Hannibal, Mo%where they stopped over. Chance’s men are al! in gpoed shape and pleased over the an- turn to the fold sooner than was antici- ted. Zimmerman has been working ter’s absence. **Bresnahan has a nice, lively club,’ skid Chance this morning, “‘and on its showing in this short time, it may be a thorn in the sides of some of us. Rog- ef’s pitchers seem in good shape and the youngsters Sre in the game at all times. “It’s too early to say anything furth- r, however. The Cubs will be goiug full speed in a few days. Last year ran into a lot of bad fortune dur- ing the earlier period of the race—in fact it was only at the finish that we got into physical condition again.

“The League is a strong one this year, and I look for at least four of the clubs to have a serious race. New York, even with Donlin and Bresnahan gone, is still a tremendous factor, and with McGraw fighting. hard, will be tough picking for any team. “I do not attach much significance to the showing of the clubs thus far ex- cept as indicating the spirit of the men and their general good physical condi- tion. With both these points satisfac- tory, the rest will come. We should win the pennant again.’’ The weather man did not treat St. Louis exactly to the taste of President Stanley Robison today; but although the air was chill and raw, it was not sufficiently severe to necessitate the calling off of the game—the first of the i.ational League this season. It is the first appearance of the Card- inals in this city since they went South to Little Rock, and fans are eager to see the new Cardinals in action. The management has already made prepara- tions to accommodate a big crowd even though the weather conditions are so unfavorable.

as geit this year by the middle of Fans Will Hardly eS League HE Cardinals’ park has also been remodeled in expectation of a big season. The stands have been reased in size and in the grand stand oBera chairs have been Installed. In rieht field a big new bleacher wil! be opened for the first time this afternoon. together the park will seat almost & many as Hedges’ big plant. resnahan certainly has worked hard order to be able to show the fans cf St. Louis something different from listless, peevish, sulking team that sented the club last year.

The Cardinals have still their wéakness of last year—batting; but they a Recognize Park, for Changes have shown such a decided score runs with few hits that the weak- ness is almost neutralized. Perhaps the big surprise of the sea- son is the strength of the pitching staff—that is, basing the opinion on the Showing of the clubs in the games so far played. Rhodes, Sallee, Lush and Forest More have attracted especial at- tention. Beebe is sure to round to his best form and add still further to the staff strength, while warm weather may bring around Higginbotham, too. Mhe team has one of the best catching departments in the game, while the out- field has been giving great satisfaction to Bresnahan. Delehanty’s tendency to hit this year is especially pleasing to Roger, while Steve Evans has already Won himself a regular berth by both his defensive and aggressive play. The infield is strong, defensively, but its batting, outside the work of that big wonder Konetchy, has been mediocre. Certainly the lovers of baseball and admirers of the Cardinals will get what they missed last year—action from Start to finish. The team is a hustler and that makes amends for many a de- fect, ability to

What the local runners object to is the fact that the course is harder than possibly any in the country for guch an event.

COLV PAN.

’ ENCEFORTH our Thanksgiving H day football feature will be strictly a family affair, with Glenah Warner handling the Carlisle eleven and his brother, W. J. Warner, in charge at St. Louis University. Be- tween the two St. Louis ought to final- ly be able to break itself ef its in- grained habit of employing Western football tactics, so much deplored by some of our best undergraduates. It is believed seriously in some quarters that all football comes out of the Hast. Mr. Warner comes with an excellent reputation as a player and as a feot- ball instructor. But while we may be taught football that has the seal of Yale or Princeton as a result of the securing of Mr. Warner, we will cer- tainly suffer through being deprived ef the originality of Eddie Cochems. Cochems was not only an instructor— he was an originator, and there are very few such in the football world. Perhaps no better instance of this can be found than in the case of Coach Yost of Michigan. Yost knew al] the details of football play under “army” conditions. With altered rules he fioundered in distress and has never really found his feet since the changes were made that brought the 10 yards to gain and the forward pass. However, Mr. Warner’s retention as- sures followers of football in St. Louis that the annual battle with Carlisle will not retrograde from a classic to-a joke. ° . HILE remembering that the Car- \W dinals scored 14 runs off 18 hits during the Cincinnati series, it might be well to take Inte considera- tion the fact that the Reds’ pitchers also gave 15 bas>s on balls. Neverthe- less these Bresnahanites are moving around the base lines at some clip. Now if the Browns could just combine their own hitting ability with the Car- dinals’ underpinning it might get them out of many a hard place. Perhaps the fact that Cubs have been doing quite well with Zimmerman at second base had some effect teward in- ducing Johnny Evers to abandon his de- —_——_—- - -- —_

termination not to report until June. Johnny is wise to the fact that yeu can't be independent after the boss finds that there are others who can do your work. Den’t arrange for any funerals or celebrations over the showing of any club in either league just yet. It’s so early most of the teams haven't their eyes open. Bobby Bryne failed to get a hit during] the entire Cincinnati series, but Charles, the supposed weakling, got a .400 per- centage. foolish in the matter of Criger and Young. A least the club is able to hold its own among the Eastern teams at the present time. The Red Sox even appear to have picked up a live wire in Chech. This distard turned about yesterday and beat ‘so good a pitcher as Eddie Plank, letting Phila- delphia down with five hits. Seven er- rors behind Plank partially explain the score, B ‘oot does not seem so entirely Fiven without the $11,000 Marquard, the $4000 Durham and the sensational Bush, the Indianapolis team does not seem to have suffered greatly. The club has al- ready jumped out in front in’ the asso- clation race and will likely remain there, from the form displayed by Carr's club. John McCloskey may be a trifle shy in the big league, but his Milwaukee club is moving nicely. The team ig in third place, having lost but one game this year. Hostetter-McGlynn and company are doing the yeoman work. Artie has cut out the red light trimmings to his baseball career and it adds something to his performance on the diamond, evi- dently. Has Jeffries yet made a noise like a $5000 deposit to satisfy Mr. Johnson? And now the questien arises when $10,000 igs on deposit as forfeits for a championship, does the stakeholder draw the interest? If he did, could you properly call him a man without prin- cipal?

This action is the appropriation of money from the city’s funds for 4 trophy pre- sented in the name of the city. When it was decided that the tour should start from Detroit, the manufac- turers of that city pledged 15 entries and the Board of Commerce wanted to donate a prize for the winner in the toy tonneau class. Mayor Breitmeyer requested that the business men defer action for a while and they did so. The reason for the Mayor’s request became apparent when Chairman Frank B.

McAleer a Pitcher; Graham Due Today. re

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. weather man for drowning their big opening game yesterday, ‘Naps were to meet the Browns, Manager McAleer and his St, players were not a bit disheartened. The Browns are going at a savi r just now, and the less work they are required to do, the better they will be £ fighting when the battle gets real hot along in midseason. 2 T_ went Cleveland baseball fans are scarcely on speaking terms h-the One of the worst storms Cleveland has experienced in 20 years, ,according to the native sons of the Lake Town, spoiled a brilliant picnic at the ball grounds yesterday, because all the fans had arranged with their employers and wives to get away to attend the big opening. Postponed openings are sel- dom successes, but the two clubs will begin the series today, providing the weather man doesn’t once more twist a tornado out of Lake Erie and dash it over the city. With the Browns pitching staff in a rather precarious condition just now, it would not be discouraging to see a game postponed in each city, Cleveland, Chi- cago and Detroit on this trip. Then the next trip when double-headers and off days will be the rule, perhaps Mc- Aleer will have Harry Howell and Bill Dinneen along and the other twirlers going at a faster clip, so that the extra games could all be handled without dis- turbing the peage of the club in the least. There are but five pitchers with the Prowns now, and three of them left-handers, not the proper kind, the- are =e > ae +4 x P eA" sy Z ioe eee ~ o., , & % " * > » 22 ees et 4 ts 7 » ee al , wae * | a Poh a te v % y Se we. tae + - hare, E —— ‘ as oretically, to go against a st handed hitting club such as C Two of the pitehers only are 3. class condition, so McAleer didn’ wn | when the weather man washed | way a ; chance to play the first game on this e ° es x # trip, Ile can better handle the N in a three-game series and at the ss time preserve all the power of thre southpaws to battle Chicago and troit next week, teams against southpaws are needed.

series, they didn’t lose heart, ae ee. Sighs. ; ‘ * Runner Who Spikes Baseman ee Should Be Declared Put Out ~ baseman of the Naps, who was spiked out of the game by Ty Cobb up in Detroit, is expected to re- sume his duties at third base, now. Terry Turner will be around again some time next week. With these two men in their regular places, the Cleve- land critics claim the Naps would have surely beaten the Tigers in three of the four games played there. Umpire Silk O'Loughlin, who forked in the recent Detroit-Cleveland series, thinks the time has avout arrived for the umpire to call a base runner out when he slides desperately into a base and spikes an opponent in so doing. O'Loughlin thinks many such cases are deliberate on the part of the base run- ner. He even went so far as to hint he would have bee.: justified in calling Ty Cobb out when he slid into Bradley the other day and cut him badly about the hands and hip. The enmity between the Naps and Tigers is as bad as that which exists between the Cubs and Giants of the National League. There were no less than four fights started between the several players during the recent series. Ty Cobb was mixed up in two of them and Claude Rossman was in the others. Manager Lajoile had to interfere, or his catcher, “‘Nig’’ Clarke, would have jumped into a battle with Cebb after the final game. Considering the fact that the Chicago White Sox tell sirnilar tales of the rowdyism of the Tigers, there must be something in it. As the feeling between the Browns and Tigers is anything but friendly, because of some things that happened last season, there is sure to be more blood shed next week when McAleer and his men step into the lair of the Tigers. McAleer is undecided about his outfield but the chances are that Danny Hoff- man will be kept in the game at center with Hartzell in right and Stone in left. Danny is hitting the ball toe well te sit ms ILL BRADLEY, the veteran third

Presbytery, but Temperance ~ Committee Reports. ” The Thursday morning session of the St. Louis Presbytery in the Markham Memorial Church at Menard and Julia streets passed without any reference to prohibition other than the submission ‘} of the report of the Temperance Com- mittee, showing the contributions made by the various Presbyterian churches ein St. Louls for the temperance cause ; = since Jan. 1. The contribution of each @ church was not made public. Only / $106.16 has been donated in the Presby- _ % tery. Dr. B. T. Fullerton and the Rev. G. F. Ayers were elected commissioners to the Presbyterian General Assembly ’ which will be held in Denver in May, , Zand A. Barrett and E. H. Semple were | chosen as elders to represent the lay- _gmen of the Presbytery at the Denver meeting. , HH. M. Thomas was examined Thurs- ~ day morning by a board of the presby- tery for ordination and license to preach. Curl Prevents “Dry” Talk. The Rev. F. W. Curl of Carondelet is given credit for preventing the subject of prohibition from being injected into ; the deliberations of the presbytery. He is the secretary on temperance and failed to ask for any resolutions when e™ his branch of the work came up for dis- cussion. The presbytery was opened Wednesday by the Rev. C. M. Rauch of the Cote Brilliante Church, the moderator. The question of the day was home missions a report on that subject Being submit- ted by the committee of which the Rev. John L. Roemer is chairman. His re- port showed that the New York Board of Home Missions had cut off the ap- proprition for the St. Louis Presbytery by more than $1000. $5280 Given Home Migsion Board. There are 27 missionary churches in St. Louis and nine groups, to which a “new group has been added, including Wellston, Eden and Home Heights. The Rev. C. M. Cunningham has been called as pastor of the new group. Ac- cording to Chairman Roemer's report, the St. Louis Presbytery sent $5280.99 to the Home Mission Board, an increase of $405 over the previous year. The Women’s Home Mission Society sent $3901.02. ; Dr. W. F. Russell submitted the re- port on foreign missions. The name of Memorial Chapel was changed to Gree- ley Memorial. This is the mission of the Second Presbytertan Church. More than 100 clergymen are in at- tendance at the Presbytery, and sev- eral hundred laymen and women make up the audience. ‘ ¥9- 77 , ;

PRIEST FALLS THIRTY FEET, “ARISES. AND” RESUMES WORK He Was Removing Decorations ‘Used in St. Liborius Parish Fes- tival—Is Slightly Hurt. The Rev. Father William Kempf, as- sistant priest of St. Liborius Parish, fell 80 feet from a ladder Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, but is going about his duties as usual. Father Kempf, who is a young man, was in Social Turner Hall, Thirteenth and Monroe streets, assisting in remov- ing the wall and cetling decorations used Wednesday night at the parish festival. The priest climbed to the top of a 30-foot ladder and was in the act of removing some bunting when he fell backward. He was agile enough, how- ever, to prevent himself from hitting the ground head first. Father “wempf cleared all seats and ether obstructions and alighted upon the floor in a sitting posture. Others ran to his assistance, horror stricken, supposing the priest was severely in- jured. Father Ken’pf was helped to his feet. His injuries were slight. After a brief rest he resumed his work, Weyl’s Special Sale, Friday, April 23: Sc Chocolate Cream Laver for 20c.

MORE ROOM IS NEEDED

If Sum Allowed Is Only $844,- 000 All Departments Will Be Curtailed.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., April 22.—‘‘The ex- pansion of the University of Missouri depends in largé measure upon obtaining from the Legisiature the entire appro- priation of $1,592,000 asked,’’ said Dr. Al- bert Ross Hill, president, this morning. “Tf the university is te receive only $844,000 as proposed by the House, prog- ress here will be checked considerably. I do not know for what purpose this ap- propriation is made, so I cannot discuss the matter at length. “The buildings are already overcrowd- ed and no room is left for expansion. If the enrollment is to grow to any con- siderable extent there must be more class rooms and laboratories to accom- modate the students. “At present many classes are held in the basement of Academic Hall, where the light and ventilation ere not good. Books are stored away in dark rooms without windows and into any cubby- Ahole that will hold a bookcase. Only $400,000 for Expenses, “If the deficiency fund must be drawn from.the $844,000 there will be less than $600,000 for the current expenses of the university. This will hardly keep the standard of the faculty where it is now. We cannot afford to have our good men leave for higher salaries at other uni- versities by cutting salaries here now that are lower than at other universities of equal rank. “Whether the farmers of the State are to receive much benefit from the hog cholera cure and improved seed corn will depend largely upon the money that is appropriated for these purposes. “No department of the university will be abolished because of the low appropri- ation. There is a demand for every school of the university, and by ne means will any of them be done away with. “The work in all of them will be crippled, but we shall strive to divide the money among the different schools according to their needs as best we can. We cannot do away with the school of education any more than we can abolish the college of agriculture or the school of law. All Departments Needed. “It takes all these departments to make the university. Lack of appro- priation may, however, cause many of the classes to be overcrowded and the laboratory work to be handicapped. The university needs all the money asked and will suffer if it does not receive it. “The student enrollment at the Uni- versity of Missouri has increased more than 30 per cent in two years. To meet these needs development must be made along two lines. The teaching force should be increased so that fewer stu- Gents be in a class and there should be an increase in library and labora- tery_room enly furnished by new buila- “The Board of Curators asked $1,- 600,000 for the university. This included @ request for a library building, a phys- fes building, a veterinary hospital ana other buildings on the State Farm. The Legislative Committee recommended that $1,065,000 be appropriated, which !Im- cluded $200,000 for a library building.” Weyl's Special Sale, Friday, April 23: 8c Chocolate Cream Layer for 2c.

HEIR TO FORTUNE ACCUSED OF SWINDLE INVOLVING $461.54 Man, Said to -Have Cashed Both Original and Duplicate Checks Received From France. A man, 50 years old, heir to a fortune in France, is being sought by the police here in connection with a check swin- die involving $461.54. He is accused of Cashing both the original and duplicate Checks representing payment of an in- Ceme from the fortune. Charles Perenoud a saloon keeper at 71 South Fourth street, told the police he cashed the original check April 19 and turned it over to the National Brew- ery, with which he has an account. Later it was discovered, acording to Perenoud, that Krank Knapp of 318 South Fourth street had cashed a dupli- cate of the original check and when the original reached the bank it was protested. “he police learned that a custom of sending duplicate checks with remit- tances from foreign countries furnished the opportunity for the swindle. The Frenchman left his place of lodg- ing a few days after Perenaud had Cashed the original check and al! trace of him has been lost.

PRICE OF WHEAT CRUMBLES UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE Brilliant Crop Prospects All Over the World Main Cause of Bear Aggressiveness.

Encouraged by increasing confidence in the winter wheat crop and continued bril- liant prospect for foreign yields. bears in the local wheat market made a concerted and aggressive rusA on values Thursday, batter- ing the price of all deliveries down to ex- tensive declines. The lack of Patten’s bull loardershin. he being said to be out of the market for the present, lent confidence to the attacks and the aews mostly fav bear that faction. Practically no support was in evidence, and rices receded in a rapid, nerv. QuUSs MmelLeg e close was 2%c to 3c lower for the day. The combination of favorable Weather and oy aoe his was rather unexpected In view of the based previous firmnes on this side, and was an the very Hip weather and crop prospects a l parts of woe - an in- abroad as it has in America, and the con- tinued ‘decrease in supplies “. being consid- ered less important in view of the very good a promises all over the world. he weather in the Northwest has mod-- erated considerably and is now ve favor- able for the renee geoding to done. Good progress has already been made with this work, both i our Cnet wheat belt and Canada, and under the aided stimulus of the present splendid climatic conditions a large acreage seems assured: It is said to still be rather too cool] in the winter regions and there were some complaints regarding the slow growth of the plant, but these latter were in the minority and sen- timent to the effect that at least an increasing crop will be secured is steadily avendin The weather is not cold eno ok much actual harm and the plentiful ienears of cash wheat woula’ not be greatly af- fected by the slump in futures Recel ts. es fally in the local mark et and at other points of the Southwest’ @ vd again very small and shipments reached a good volume.

Bears showed a tendency to not follow the decline too far, a tendency toward cover- ing on each fresh ‘slump being evident. The market, however, did not look really nes at any time. Toward the mid session prices showed a tendency to react, but the temporary firmness was taken advantage of by further long liquidation. It was the same throughout the session. The slightest steadiness brought out renewed selling. Bears were just as ag- gressive after covering occasionally, and under heavy pressure from all sources prices con- tinued to rapidly drop. The seaboard late reported the ssle of 35 loads of Manitoba wheat for export, and there was other bullish news, but nothing seemed to be able to check the eraze for unloading long wheat. Argectine shipments are estimated at 2,800, - 000 bu ogainst 2,344,000 bua last week and 2,- 584,000 bu a.year ago.
