CABANNE CHILD IDNAPED IN A WICKER BASKET

Broughton Brandenburg Ad- mits He Abducted Boy in St. Louis.

LAD FOUND WITH HIM

Says He Intended to Send for His Wife, Who Was Mrs. Cabanne. WRITER IS ARRESTED}:

Copy of New York Indictment Is Sent to California Officials. |

Chief of Police Cook repeivel a mes- sage Saturday from District Attorney Jerome of New York advising him that a copy of the indictment against Bran- denburg had been forwarded and re- questing the chief, In case the accused was admitted to bail, to ask that his bond be placed at a high figure. Brandenburg was arrested in a San Francisco hotel Friday night and the boy was found with him, Associated Press dispatches say. Brandenburg, who alleges that Mrs. Cabanne is his legal wife, says she is in New York. The boy has made no statement as to his experiences since he was stolen from the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Julia Cabanne, at 5365 Cabanne avenue, nine days ago. Brandenburg assumes the relationship of stepfather to the boy and holds that he had a legal rizht to take him. Stopped in St. Louis for Boy. “I arrived in St. Louis a littie more {han a week ago,” he said, “and 1 stcpped there to get my stepson, who was with his grandparents. It was then that I decided to come to California to work until my fortunes turned. My wife is in New York and I planned to send for her and establish my family in a little summer home.”’ Brandenburg told a thrilling story his experiences while trying to dodge the police during the past three months. Ile told how at Harrington, Dei., posing as Dr. Car! Rheinder, a German auto- mobile agent, and also as a physician, he became popular in society. He also told how in Bridgeville, a little nearby town, he managed a poolroom of which the town was trying to rid itself and then became invelved.wm a shooting af- fair which led to a feud. He described narrow escapes from ar- rest in New York and .eisewhere and how, later, he kidnaped the Cabanne boy and spirited him away in a wicker basket. “] have been arrested so many times during the last three months,” said Brandenburg, in the city prison today, “that this is rather a familiar situa- tion. I have gotten used to those things —pointing to the iron bars of his cell— and my experiences have been so har- rowing that only the knowledge that I am right has sustained me. “My wife, who is in New York, knows all about my predicament, and when I took her son from the home of his grandmother in St. Louis I acted with her authority. I was determined, handi- capped as I was, to take him to Cali- fornia whither Mrs. Brandenburg was tO gO as s00n as possible to join us. *T found the boy playing in the neigh- berhood of Mrs. Cabanne’s house and he agreed with me that it would be best for him to go where he could be with those who loved him. He was eager to go. He gladly climbed into the big wicker basket that I had beught to smuggle him aboard the train and into my berth and he has been with me ever since, The risk of having him was great. I have telegraphed Mrs. ‘Bran- denberg and upon receipt of a telegram of authority from her the boy will be sent to her at once. “It Is not unlikely that T shall resist extradition. Charges against me have been so widely discussed that this is an old story. Mine is a peculiar situa- tion. I may have to serve a prison sen- tence because the circumstances that would clear me*are known only to my- welt. Tt will be hard for me to go back of after having seen a glimpse of a bright. future, best.’ Brandenburg registered at the San Francisco hotel as D. W. L. Leonard and the Cabanne boy was known there ia “Billy Leonard,” the impression be- ing given that Brandenburg and the cbiid were father and son. Mre.

CUNRIED, OPERA CUNDUCT CH, BEAD IN Tht TYROL

PARIS, April 24.—It here that Heinrich Conried, formerly direc- tor of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York, died today at Meran, Austrian Tyrol. Mrs. Conried was with him. is reported in the Heinrich Conried was first an actor in New York and an actor of the ul- tra-stagey type, with tangled black hair. dark eyes and mannerisms that left ny doubt as to his calling. Then he be- came manager of a little German thea- ter in Irving place. He was intensely ambitious and a deen student, working all the time and plan- ning big things far ahead. His studies won for him the degree of LL. ID. and other recognition. Besides being an actor and a student, he Was a lecturer and a shrewd business man. When he became director of the Met- ropolitan Opera House the haughty singers of the great opera companies looked at him rather scornfully and New York was more or less surprised that such a man should be placed in such a position. But his associates in the Irving Place Theater were not sur- prised. They had expected something big for him all along, they said, for he had ihe Napoleonte quality of doing big things in a way else could. He held the — % e 4 : . ’ a saa fe s Pros,

He said: “We are all extremely anxious that no injury shall befall His Majesty, but it will be impossible, after recent events to expect a continuance of respect, sym- pathy and loyalty to the present sov- ereign. Orthodox Moslems attach loy- alty to the office of the Califf rather than to the Individual occupying this of- fice. “It is the wish of the Constitutional party that the necessary change in sov- ereigns be brought about by voluntary means, and I have no reason to believe that before long a new sovereign will ascend the throne of Turkey.

Just how we will pro- ceed it will be impossible for me-to say until I have conferred with mem- bers of the Cabanne family.’’ Until the news of the arrest of Brand- enburg came from San Francisco, rela- tives of the boy believed he was with his mother and that he would be re- turned in a short time. The day after his disappearance a man who eoncealed his identity telephoned ty-the grandmother saying the boy vould be back at his St. Louls home in a week. The authorities of San Francisco had no idea that Brandenburg had the miss- ing boy in his custody until after they arrested him and found the child asleep in his room, The arrest was made on a warrant charging Brandenburg with larceny in connection with his receipt of pay- ment for an article purporting to con- tain an interview with Grover Cleve- land. This article was printed in the New York Times and in other papers to which it was sold by the Times and was afterwards proven to be a ‘“‘fake,”’ Brandenburg was to have appeared in a New York court for a preliminary hearing Feb. 1, but he jumped his bond. When a woman known as Branden- burg’s wife appealed to the police fer aid the story of the writer’s elope- ment with Mrs. Minnie Leonard Cabanne became public. Mrs. Cabanne, before her marriage with James Shepard Cabanne, was a Louisville, Ky., belle. She and her husband lived in St. Louis and ap- parently were happy until two years ago. Mrs. Cabanne was one of @ camping party in the Adirondacks, and there she met Brandenburg.

Women and children are fugitives in the moun- tains, exposed to hunger and violence. The situation at Beilan, a short dis- tance south, is critical.

REPEAL OF BARBER SHOP LAW DOESN'T ALLOW SUNDAY WORK Tonsorial Parlors Remain Shut on the Sabbath Under the “Blue Laws,” The repeal of the act forbidding bar- ber shops to open on Sunday will not legalize Sunday shaves, says a. ©. Shanessy, secretary and business agent of the Barbers’ Union. “The law just repealed by the Legis- lature,” he told a Post-Dispatch re- porter, Saturday, “‘was passed about fourteen years ago, and subsequently de- clared unconstitutional because it spec- ifled barbers and applied only to them. It was declared to be class legislation and void. The Legislature now mere- ly wipes that null and void law off the statute books. “But it was not under that law that the barber shops have been kept closed. It was under the old, so-called ‘blue laws,’ which prohibit all except neces- sary work and labor on Sunday. That law was declared constitutional in a case that went to the Supreme Court within two years, and Sunday shaves are no more legal since the repeal of the Sunday barber shop law than they were before.” GIRL, AGED 7, GRIEVES FOR HER MISSING DOG, AGED 7

53 it Edward Clark, held by St. Louis Coun- ty authorities suspected of knowledge of an attack on Helen Kuntz, 9 years old, in University City, was identified Saturday as E. Clark, who has served two terms in: the Missouri Penitentiary for similar crimes, according to Supt. Shea of the St. Louis Police Depart- mens. The identification was accomplished through the fact that the man under arrest bears tattooed on his arm the let- ters “EK. C.”’ and a woman's picture. Constable Bode, who made the arrest, asked Supt. Shea Saturday if he knew the man. Shea immediately asked if the prisoner bore the tattoo marks. This being verified, Supt. Shea said the iden- tification was complete. Has Served Two Terms, Clark served a two-years’ sentence in the penitentiary beginning in 1891, and a ten-years’ sentence beginning in 1897, both for attacks on children. @Qhe St. Louls police have had no trace of him since October, 1906. The Kuntz child, who has been in a critical condition since her injury, a week ago, may not recover. She is under almost constant medical attend- ance and her physician, Dr. N, E. Mills of University City, says her condition is critical. Clark and his son, Frank, 16 years old, were arrested on information furnished by Daniel Blair, 12 years old. who saw a man dragging the girl. Clark and his son have been held on technical charges of vagrancy until! the officers could investigate the case. GUESS WHAT! HOUSE OF Truce Is Offered. “The railroads have been: advised that if they abandon the combination which is the basis of the St. Louis suit and put into effect a 2%-cent rate, the St. Louis case will be dis- continued. As a number of the roads have advised me that they intend to take this action, it may be that. there will be no occasion for any contro- versy in refercnce to this matter at all. “But if there is, I will be just as vigorous in insisting upon the author- ity of the State officers and the State courts, as I will be carefu] to respect the proper authority of the Federal] courts, To sustain either of these positions we will, if necessary, appea] direct to the Supreme Court of the United Statcs.” Modification Granted. Judge Williams of the Circuit Court, on application of Circult Attorney Jones, granted Saturday a modification of the injunction issued April 8 against the 18 trunk-line railroads of Missouri to re- strain them from making a passenger rate of 8 cents a mile, Under the in- junction as modified, the railroads wil! be permitted to charge any rate below 3 cents, provided they do not make it discriminatory. This does not apply to commutation and excursion tickets. Ten days’ public notice of a change 5 :

The father spoke with great difficulty: “Good-by, Charlie,’’ he said in a weak voice. ‘I hope, my boy, that you won't have to be there long. I’’—— The oid man could say no more. As he walked through the door his son Stood looking through the bars until his father disappeared. “I’m glad that is over,” the prisoner said, “my burden won't be nalf hard now.” He was then taken back to his cell. Convicted of Swindling. The Bidwells were convicted of swindling stockholders by means of an alleged worthless “cold” motor. The younger Bidwell appealed from this decision and had expressed the liveliest hope of ultimately gaining his liberty. In the midst of these hopes his father’s health suddenly gmave way. Feeling that the latter could not Jive long within prison walls, Charles offered to abandon his appeal, providing his father were allowed to plead guilty to a minor charge. To this there were no objections and today the elder Bidwell finished serving the ten days to which he was sentenced under the new arrangement. Benson Bidwell is a brother of the Bidwell who robbed the Bank of En- gland of an immense sum a gereration ago. After serving a term in prison the latter reformed, wrote a book of his life, and at his death was buried by Benson Bidwell. 80 Whole baby lobster, Julienne potatoes, 50c.

Harvey Was the First Person to Make Suggestions to the Board of Freehold- ers—Her Views for Relief of Poverty. BY MARGUERITE MARTYN. MEN who are apathetic on the WW sxrsec of equal suffrage should feel inspired and scoffers who declare that women are not interested in civic righteousness and politics should in a measure be convinced of their error by the fact that the first to respond to the Board of Freeholders’ call for sug- gestions for the new city charter was a woman. Mrs. Cora D. Harvey drafted and pre- sented a set of suggestions even before the commission was ready to receive them. . Her suggestions, or, as she is more inclined to speak of them, ‘‘de- mands,’’ were made in behalf of the National Committee for the Unem- ployed and the Brotherhood Welfare Association. She petitions that provisions be in- serted in the new charter for the mu- ricipal employment of the unemployed when their number reaches 5000 or more; for the maintenance of municipal lodg- ing houses where destitute persons may find an opportunity to earn food and shelter, and she believes that the initia- tive and referendum and the recall be vritten into the new charter. She Makes Strong Appeal For City’s Unemployed. HESE and other suggestions does a Mrs. Harvey make. She thinks that equal wages for equal work, regardless of sex, can be made a mat- of legislation, particularly if the commission plan is auopted and the city government is made more like a business corporation. And she thinks there should be ordinances demanding public comfort stations. She favors a plan such as is now employed in Ber- lin, where the city utilizes vacant lots for vegetation, which, when fermented, will produce alcohol to be used for mu- nicipal lighting. She sees in the adop- tion of such a plan esthetic and eco- nemic benefit. And uppermost is the hope that the scheme for municipa! brewertes. of which she is the author, should receive the attention of the char- ter builders. Furthermore, Mrs. Harvey sees this occasion an opportunity for women to assert themselves and gain recogni- tion which may lead to power in poli- tics, Speaking to me in her office at the headquarters of the unemployed, where this earnest little woman is devoting her life to educating, socializing and doing what she can for the immediate needs of thousands of unfortunates, Mrs. Harvey said: “As a Socialist, I am not an oppor- tunist, and I see the inevitable futility of small reforms. But people are not ready for Socialism until they are edu- cated in it. I am not so much in favor of what {gs called Woman's Suffrage as ] am in human suffrage. If women would ally themselves with men or with a party which has the suffrage plank in its platform. instead of separating themselves and antagonizing men as the suffragettes do, equal suffrage would come sooner. Thinks’ W. C. T. U. Should Favor Municipal Brewery. THINK all women should be in- terested in the revision of this as it will benefit the ter in opportunity for women with ideas on reform, If the W. Cc. T. U.. seeing their designs upon the State Legislature fail, could be made to see that municipal breweries and _ distilleries, eliminating the profit on intoxicants, making wine and whiskey so cheap that their ‘badge of aristocracy, which is reall ythe root of the evil of the drink habit, would be removed; if they would extent them- selves in this practical direction instead of trying to curtail liberty in this coun- try, they might hope to achieve their ends.”’ Equal Pay for Equal Work, Regardless of Sex. RS. HARVEY’s personal MI in behalf of the unemployed, aside from the official resolution presented by her for this organization, was couched in this language: To tne Honorable Board of Free- holders on Charter Revision: Deal justly and love mercy, is the order in which all the prophets and humanitarians have rated human duty since the world began. I'n- der our present competitive syg- tem we have on the one side @ self-constituted dominant appropriati:.g property, ing the God-given earth and air; light and water mines and mills; all the agencies that warm and clothe and comfort man. On the other side the robbed and outlawed masses herd- ed in cities; driven to the woods and marshes; tolling on the Seas: and breathing death in sweatshops and garretr On the one side is property pro- tected by Government. On the other side humanity, protecteq by almsgiving. The injustice of our present system is glossed over ana bolstered up by our vast System of charities, penetrating to every corner of the earth. The iniquities of the whole rotten fabric woula cause its speedy downfall, but for the props these charities § afford. Thus far they have been dealing with effects, the time is now to sift out the cause. Justice is the cry of the suffering thousands who are without work within our gates. And we trust that you will not stifle that cry by palliatives or ignore the fact that on justice the world is balanced. and that without justice no man, city or nation ever was or ever can free and great. Therefore: In conclusion we beg your honorable body to give heed to the several suggestions which follow, by ingrafting them (letter and spirit) in the new City Chart- er.

TO SEPARATE SOURCES Levy of General Property Tax for State Purposes to Be Discontinued. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY. April 2—The Judson joint and concurrent resolution, providing for the submission of a con- stitutional amendment to separate the sources of State and local revenue by discontinuing the levy of a general prop- erty tax on real and personal property for State purposes, was sent to engross- ment by the House today. The proposition was debated at length. Barker (Dem.) of Macon declared that it was in the interest of corporations. His argument was replied to by Cross- ley (Dem.) of Johnson and Muir (Dem.) of Lewis, who led the fight for the adoption of the resolution. Following are the principal provisions of the pro- posed amendment: The General Assembly may sepa- rate the sources of State and local (that is, county, school and munici- pal) revenues by discontinuing the levy of a general property tax on real and personal property for State purposes, and by securing the reve- nue required for all State purposes by the exercise of the power of tax- ation upon the subjects of taxation other than by the general property tax upon the real and personal prop- erty of the State, and by apportion- ment to the counties of the State and City of St. Louis of so much of the reyenues required for State purposes asimay be in excess of the revenue of the State derived from _ other sources of revenue, such apportion- ment to be made by the State Board of Equalization according to the val- uation of property for local taxation in the counties and cities of the State, when directed by the General Assembly. The General Assembly. in selecting any special subject of taxation, may exempt the same from any form of local taxation and may, in its dis- cretion, appropriate the proceeds of such taxation to State purposes, or may apportion the same to the county and city of St. Louis in the manner provided by the General As- sembly; provided that the counties, cities and other taxing districts of the State shall not be deprived of their right to tax real estate and per- sonal property, both individual and corporate, located therein, and the property and franchises of public service corporations located therein. The General Assembly, whether the State general property tax is con- tinued or discontinued, may impose filing tax upon the recording of deeds of trust or other securities of indebt- edness or a registration tax for any class of securities, and may exempt such property so recorded or regis- tered from local taxation; but unti! and unless such tax is levied and paid, such property shall be subject to local taxation at the domicile of the owner. The Judson measure is one of the most important measures relating to the sub- ject ‘of revenue to receive consideration by the present Assembly. Money for Athletic Fields. Donations of $200 have been made to the Million Population Club's fund to make athletic fields of vacant lots in the congested districts. It is ex- pected that $1000 will be raised. There will be three such fields established. The work is in the hands of a com- mittee of which James W. Jump is chairman. As in the AMENDMENT OX Fifty Dollars in prizes for them.

TWIN BLOTS ON CIVILIZATION. To stay indignation at the merciless massacres in Asiatic Turkey it is necessary to resort to philosophy and so secure the substitution of pity for desire for vengeance. ‘Forgive them, they know not what they do,” may be indifferent consolation, but there seems to be no chance of intervention and hence no recourse save hope that the vigilant Young Turks will make an end of the rule of the vicious old Sultan. But the crimes of Moslem fanatics in Turkey are more easily forgiven than the crimes of the reaction in inhuman Russia. There the Goy- ernment, supposedly Christian, operating through the law, is practicing murder with as much Zest and determination as marks the Armenian mas- gacres. Pitiless executioners build gibbets and hang unfortunates in the view of other unfortu- nates whose turn will presently come. The cruelty manifested at Aleppo is only quan- titatively worse than that in the Russian prison at Sebastopol, where there have been 70 execu- tions since last May. The testimony of M. Cam- atidze, a deputy in the second Duma, incarcerated there, illustrates a condition so revolting that it would be a cause for foreign intervention if Rus- sia were not a great power. As it is, we can only align Nicholas If and Abdul Hamid as twin blots on modern civilization. The only difference be- tween them is one is ranked as a Christian and the other as a Mohammedan. i A Ae wwe eS Senator Dolliver charged, says a dispatch, that the cotton manufacturers and the woolen manu- facturers had practically written the tariff sched- ules relating to those products. There is no reason why Dolliver should make it in the form of a charge. A charge contains the suggestion that it wasn’t right for them to do it. = = = a. THE COST OF LIVING. Optimism, which in its relation to business is confidence in the resources of the United States, the industry of its people and their ability to ad- just themselves to any conditions, predicts a future of prosperity. It takes account of the fact that, despite tariff agitation, business is good and growing better. It knows that salutary liquida- tion has squeezed all boom period inflation from our commerce and it says we are on a surer foundation than for some years. The wage worker, threatened by lower wages, as the result of readjustment, finds no indication of cheaper foods. Prosperity prices still hold. Flour, bread, potatoes, meats, eggs and fr*’‘s are as high or higher than ever. Butter is a positive luxury, and apparently not+subje t to seasonable fluctuations. Prosperity seems to have marked a new point at which the necessities of life can be sold and their producers seem un- ‘willing to market them for less. Figures published by the Post-Dispatch show that the prices of foods are from two to three Food is higher now than it has been in 50 years. In such circumstances it is particularly un- fortunate that wheat should, as the result of shrewd manipulation, have been forced to the

highest price reached in over ten years. And yet fear is expressed that an enlarged acreage of spring wheat will result in a crop whose 4di- mensions will mean lower prices. An abundant _ crop of wheat and lower prices would mean much to the wage earner. With Congress bent on tax- ing poverty,;not wealth, only bountiful nature seems to stand between him and continued ct. :- tress. Fort Ticonderoga, which Ethan Allen took “in the name of the Continental Congress and the

Great Jehovah,” is to be restored at a cost of $500,000, Then summer visitors to Lake Cham- plain will be expected to take it again. a A Ap A TYPICAL AUTO ACCIDENT.

The Milwaukee accident was typical, probably _,. Of a majority of these automobile killings.

THE RIGHT TO EXIST. From today’s New York World. The resolution adopted yesterday by the directors of the American Newspa- per Publishers’ Association in regard to the libel proceedings instituted by Mr. Roosevelt in the name of the Federal Government present this clear and com- prehensive statement. of one of the vital issues: ‘Publishers do not ask for _ special privileges and will not accept exemp- tion from prosecution for offenses that they may commit, but in effect to de- prive them of constitutional rights would subject them to unusual and ex- traordinary hardships and methods of defense. ‘If newspaper publishers may be tried for alleged libel in each and every com- munity where one or more copies of their publications may have circulated, defense becomes an endless and unbear- able burden, involving not only the free- dom, but the existence of the press.’’ The issue is the same in both the Washington and New York proceedings. If the course of Mr. Roosevelt be sus- tained, not only is every newspaper subject to Federal as well as State prosecution for libel, but every news- paper can be prosecuted by the Pres- ident in as many ‘distinct and inde- pendent jurisdictions” as it can be proved to have circulated in. No more efficient instrument for plac- ing the entire press at the mercy of any political president could be devised; for the grand jury gets its laws from the district attorney, who gets his law from the attorney-general, who gets his in- structions from the President, who has the resources of the Federal Government at his command, and the power to com- pel endless indictments may be_ the power to destroy. Ever since the Sedition Law obliter- ated the Federalist party, the matter of punishing libel has been left to the State courts under such severely re- strictive statutes as the States have en- acted. There is not and never has been a question as to the complete civil and criminal responsibility of all newspa- pers to such State statutes. No repu- table newspaper proprietor or editor ob- jects to such laws, or seeks to evade his responsibility under them. The vital question raised by the Fed- eral libel proceedings instigated under Mr. Roosevelt's orders is not whether libel is to be punished—the States have fully provided for that—but whether the newspapers of the country are to be placed at the mercy of the President of the United States, to be prosecuted wherever and whenever and for what- ever suits his fancy. If he has this power, there can be no free and full discussion of any political question except as he graciously per- mits, and the defense of all newspapers which offend him “becomes an endless and unbearable burden, involving not only the freedom but the existence of the press.’’

ABDUL BEN HAMID. ‘ Abdul Ben Hamid (may his tribe decrease!) Awoke one night fronra deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight in his room An angel busy with a golden broom Sweeping the cobwebs from those musty walls And the dust of ages from the Moslem halls. Abdul Ben Hamid raised his royal head, ‘‘What doest thou in this blest place?’ he said, And the angel answered him: “Behold in me The spirit herald of what is to be.” And with one great flourish of the broom about Swept superstition, Allah and the harem out. Abdul Ben Hamid came from underneath the bed. ‘Ho, spirit! I'll do anything you ask,” he said. And, lo! when the people’s army had possessed The holy city, Abdul's cheers led all the rest. ee PAY-WHEN-YOU-FINALLY-GET IN. There has been a very noticeable drift in the West End to the old Suburban cars. To get a seat on one of them going out, one must meet it somewhere around Sixth and Locust, and to enjoy this luxury coming In, it is necessary to meet the car somewhere near the city limits. Yet the Hodiamont cars, as they are denominated, spend a good deal of their running time doing the serpentine twist, and they run between the two longest parallel rows of garbage cans in the world. Why do the people crowd them? It is simple enough. The pay-as-you- enter has become the pay-when-you- finally-get-in. It stamds at a crossing anywhere from one to five minutes, You can go into the drug store and get a $10 bill changed with no danger that the car will have resumed its progress by the time you get out. Persons liv- ing out on the edge of town spend some- thing like twenty minutes on crossings, while over on the Hodiamont line they load and unload at both ends and the cars stop only long enough for passen- gers to board them with a running jump. Experts who have compared the running time of the Hodiamont and Delmar lines say there is a difference of ten minutes when traffic is heavy, and ten minutes will either beat the boss down or keep the cook in a good humor, according to the direction in which you are going. Is it any wonder?

The prohibitionists insist that regula- tion doesn't regulate. The anti-prohibitionists say that pro- hibition doesn’t prohibit. Tariff, it seems, doesn’t tariff. Really, is there anything that any- things? The fear that Mr. Roosevelt will catch the sleeping sickness in Acrica is rapidly giving away to the belief that the more remote one is from President Taft the less the danger. At that the Young Turks haven't any- thing on the young Cardinals. WELL WARNED.

The bridegroom knew it, but he was feeling rather cross for some reasyt. or other, so hg 4id not help by asking any quesiigns. It geemed to the bride when he was settled in his arm- chair gfter dinner that the cloud had SYegun to lift, so sizing the psycbofogical mo- meus she plunged into the mysterious subjact she had at heart. “Sagk,"’ she said, squaring her shoul- ders for the fray that she knew must come, “I am going to join qa olub—’”’ ‘Yas, you are!” said the bridegroom, incirefulously. “OH, but I'm serious!’’ urged the bride, “and before you get mad 1 want you to listen to my reasons!’’ The bride paused impressively. “Well—go ahead!’’ said the bridegroom, but Ris tone was distinctly unpromising. ‘The club I’m going to join,’’ began the bride, “is an association of women organized for the purpose of geeing that the ity departments do their work.”’ ‘Phat’s very kind of them!’ sneered the bridegroom. ‘I had ap idea the Mayor had nominated a few men to look after the departments, but of course I’m wrong,” “You don’t understand,” said the bride. “Tbig association is just to help.” “§ gaven’t heard any caljs for help from the commissioners,“ the bride- interrupted. ‘Tell me some spe- cifie thing this club er aggociation of busgybodies and butters-in has ever ac- cormaptished.”’ ‘WYery well,” said the bride brightly. ‘Te is organized into districts. This district is working to have the Board of Health order grocers not to expose fruft outside their stores. You have to get an ordinance or something, WH thigk,” added the bride importantly. “Get” jeered the bridegroom. ‘You haven't joined yet.”” Then condescend- ing to be serious, he said slowly: “Don’t you think that if the women of this neighborhood were to notify the grocers they patron that they would withdraw their cust frem all stores with decaying fruit exposed in front, it wowld do lots more good than pestering the Board of Health to get an ordinance pasped?

now that are not enforced.” 7 The bride did not know what answer to make to this question, so she switched her base. “There’s another thing,’”’ she said. “The club is particularly interested in legislation. It has a committee that reads all the bills introduced at Jeffer- son City, and then the members decide whether they are in favor of them or not. It is particularly interested just now in the Grady bill.’ “What's the Grady bill?” bridegroom, not, however, didn’t know. “Why, I was going to ask you,” fal- tered the bride. ‘“‘You see, the presi- dent of the club was here this afternoon and she asked me to join. And I prom- ised her I would.”’ “Why didn’t you ask her about the Grady bill?” the bridegroom interro- gated. “I did,” the bride confided. ‘She said she just couldn’t tell me offhand what it was, but that the club was tre- mendously in favor of it, and she counted on me to help.”’ Before the bride could finish her sen- tence something that sounded like an explosion, but was really the bride- groom's most unrestrained laugh, shook the furniture of the little apartment. “Excuse me,”’ he said, seeing the bride’s shocked expression. Then he burst into another peal. “Really, baby, I can’t help it,’’ apologized again. “You're very rude!” said the bride, tears welling in her brown eyes. “I know it,’”’ said the bridegroom, and laughed some more. The bride’s head went suddenly down on the table. ‘‘Oh, I knew—I knew. I’ve known for a month that you didn’t love me any more,”’ she sobbed. Instantly the bridegroom's laughter ceased. He had not yet attained the seasoned husband’s callousness to tears. True to the domestic schedule he rose and walked over to the sobbing bride and patted her on the shoulder. “There, there!’’ he said soothingly. ‘‘I we only kidding you, dear. You can join anything short of a Bleached Blonde Show you want to. Now don’t cry like that, please don’t!” The bride turned her rainbow smile full upon him. ‘‘You see you won't let me be rational,” she said tremulously. “You refuse to listen to my reasons, but you give tin right away when I cry.” The bridegroom’s arm went round her as he said, for he was a brave: “Perhaps you are better than you rea- son, deart’’ asked the because .:.e he

The truth was a great surprise to him, as indeed, tt would be to any- body else who might have the good for- tuns to have the same experience. But acarcely less than his surprise is that of {he reader-spectator of this astound- ing denouement of “A Bride on Trust,”’ by Henry Curtise.

The story begins in New York, but after the first chapter or two the action takes Place in London. While the more or less obvious to the sophisticated Movel reader after he has got the logic of the story, it is so well sustained that it makes ‘‘good reading.”’ The title might have been cleverer and more il- luminative.

It is written in an admirably simple style, totally devoid of verbal embellishment, and is chock full of local color. A girl, loving and loved by a young farmer, goes to far-away London to cultivate her gift of song. She loses her voice, becomes ill and goes to an idyllic spot to recuperate. There, far from old associations, she meets a man who woos her ardently and, before she understands thoroughty what she is do- ing, she marries him. Then comes a visit to the old Australian home place. When she sees her old sweetheart again, she realizes, for the first time, she loves him still. Her husband also forms a great attachment for him. It is up to simple Pete to be a hero.

Now, I have many things I can’t talk about, you under- stand. But if I had to give you a secret this instant that carried my life, I shouldn't fear to do it—so much for trusting you. Only this too, as to what I say: Don’t ever quote me or let it ap- pear that you any lMmore than know me. Can you imagine that? Really? Very good; you will understand why in a minute. The man that is stirring up all this trouble with your Cousin Lance and in this whole country is your kind and good-natured neighbor, Mr. Sinclair. I am prejudiced against him; let us ad- mit that on the start, and remember it in estimating what I say. But Sinclair is the man who has turned your cousin’s head, as well as made things in othe ways unpleasant for several of us. Sin- clair—I tell you so you will understand everythirg. more than your cousin, Mr. McCloud, or Marion Sinclair understand —S:nclair is a train-wrecker and a niur- derer. That makes you breathe hard, doesn’t it? but it is so. Sinclair is fair- ly educated and highly intelligent, ca- pable in every way, dering to the limit, and, in a way, fascinating; it is no wonder he has a following. But his following is divided into two classes: The men that know all the secrets, and the men that don’t—men like Rebstock and Du Sang, and men like your cousin and a hundred or so sports in Medicine Bend, who see only the glamour of Sinclair's pace. Your cousin sympa- thizes with Sinclair when he doesn't actually side with him. All this has helped to turn Sinclair's head, and this is exactly the situation you and Mc- Cloud and T and a lot of others are up against. They don’t know all this, but I know it, and now you know it. Let me tell you something that comes close to home. You have a cowboy on the ranch named Karg—he is called Flat Nose. Karg was a railroad man. He is a cattle thief, a train robber, a murder- er, and a spy. I should not tell you this if you were not game to the last drop of your blood. But I think I know you better than you know yourself, though you never saw me until last Might. Karg is Sinclair's spy at your ranch, and you must never feel it or know it; but he is there to keep your cousin’s sympathy with Sinclair, and to lure your cousin in his way. And Karg will try to kill George McCloud every time he sets foot on this ranch, remember that.”’ “Then Mr. McCloud ought not to be here. I don’t want him to stay if he is in danger!’”’ exclaimed Dicksie. “But I do want him to come here as if it mattered nothing, and I shall try to take care of him. I have a man among your own men, 4 cowboy named Wickwire, who will be watching Karg, and who is just as quick, and Karg, not knowing he was watched, would be taken unawares. If Wickwire goes else- where to work someone else will take his place here. Karg is not on the ranch now; he is up north, hunting up some of your steers that were run off last month by his own cronies. Now, do -you think I am giving you con- fidence?’’ oa She looked at him steadily. If I can only deserve it all.’’ In the distance she heard the calling of the men at the river borne on the wind. The shock of what had been told her, the strangeness of the night and of the scene, left her calm. Fear had given way to responsi- bility and Dicksie seemed to know her- self. “You have nothing whatever to do to deserve it but keep your own counsel. But listen a moment longer—for this is what I have been leading up to,’’ he sald. “Marion will get @ message to- morrow, a message from Sinclair, ask- ing her to come to see him at his ranch wife. Ha» has treated her infamously; that is why she will not live with him and does not speak of him. But you know how strange a woman is—or per- haps you don't; she doesn’t always cease to care for a man when she Ceases to trust him. I am_not in Marion's confi- dence, Miss Dicksie. She {is another man's wife. I cannot tell how she feels toward aim: I know she has often tried to reclaim him frem his deviltry. She again; that is, she one reason or another. o to

“Yonder They Come!” her—don’t be frightened. He will not succeed if you can only make sure he doesn’t lead her away on horseback from the ranch house or get her alone in a recom. She has few friends. I respect and honor her because she and I grew up as children together in the same lit- tle town in Wisconsin. I knew her folks, all of them, and I've promised them—you know—to have a kind of care of her.’’ “I think I know.” He looked self-conscious even at her tone of understanding. “TI need not try to deceive you; your instinct would be poor if it did not tell you more than ! ought to. He came along and turned her head. You need fear nothing for vourself in going with her. and nothing for her if you can cover just those two points—can you remember? Not to let her go away with him on horseback, and not to leave her where she will be alone with him in the heuse?’’ “T can and will. I think as much of Marion as you do. I am proud to be able to do something for you. How little IT have Known you! I thought you were everything I didn’t want to know.” “It’s nothing.’ he returned, easily, “except that Sinclair has stirred up your cousivy and the ranchers as well as the Williams Cache gang, and that makes talk about me. I have to do what [ can to make this a peaceable country to live in. The railroad wants decent pecple here and doesn’t Want the other kind, and it falls on me, unfortunately, to keep the other kind moving. I don't like it, but we can none of us do quite What we please in making a living. Let me tell you this’’—he turned to fix his eyes seriously on hers. ‘Believe anything you hear of me except that I have ever taken human life willingly or save in discharge of my duty. But this kind of work makes my own life an uncertainty, as you can see. I do almost literally carry my life in my hand, for if my hand !s not quicker ey- ery time than a man’s eye, I am done for then and there.”’ “Tt is dreadful to-think of." “Not exactly that, but it is something I can’t afford to forget.” “What would become of the lives of the friends you protect if you were killed?” “You say you care for Marion Sin- clair. I should like to think if any. thing should happen to me you wouldn't forget her?’’ “T never will.”’ He smiled. “Then I put her in charge of the man closest to me, George Mce- Cloud, and the woman she thinks the most of in the world—except her mother What is this, are they back? Yonder they come.”’ ' “We found nothing serious,”” McCloud said, answering their questions, as he approached with Lance Dunning. ‘Tie current is really swinging away, but thi bank is caving in where it was under- mined last night.” He stopped before Dicksle. “I am trying to get your cousin to go to the house and go to bed. I am going to stay all night, but there ig no necessity for his staying.’’ « “Damn it, McCloud, it’s not right,” protested Lance, taking off his hat and wiping his forehead. “You need the sleep more than I do. I Say he is the one to go to bed tonight,” continued Lance, pattag it up to Whispering Smith. ‘And I insist, by the Almighty. that you two take him back to the house with you now!” Whispering Smith raised his hand. “Tr this is merely a family quarrel about who shall go to bed, let us compromise. You two stay up all night and let me go to bed.” Lance, however, was obdurate. “Tt seems to be a family characteristic tetera teenie neat ~ CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

McCloud disclaimed credit for the improvement in the situation. “If the current had held against us as it did vesterday, nothing I could have done would have turned it,’’ he said. “Honesty is the best policy, of course,’’ observed Whispering Smith. “I like to see a modest man—and you want to remind him of all this when he sends in his bill,’’ he suggested, speaking to Dicksie in the dark. ‘‘But,’’ he added, turning to McCloud, “admitting that you are right, don't take the trouble to ad- vertise your view of it around here. It would be only decent strategy for us in the valley just now to take a little of the credit due to the wind.” CHAPTER XXII. The Man on the Frenchman. INCLAIR’S place on the French- S man backed up on a sharp rise against the foothills of the Bridger range, strung along the and the ranch buildings were creek. The ranch house stood on ground high enough to command.the country for miles up and down the valley. Only two roads lead from Medicine Bend and the south into the Frenchman country; one a wagon road following Smoky Creek and running through Dale canyon; the other a pack road, known as the Gridley trail, crossing the Topah Topah hills and making a short cut from the Dunning ranch on the Crawl- ing Stone to the Frenchman. The en- tire valley is, in fact, so difficult of ac- cess, save by the long and roundabout wagon road, that the sight of a com- plete outfit of buildings such as that put up by Sinclair aiwavs came as a surprise to the traveler, who, reaching the crest of the hills, looked suddénly down 1000 feet on his well-ordered sheds and barns and corrals. Over the Gridley trail from the Crawl- ing Stone Marion and Dicksie Dunning rode early in the morning the day after McCloud and his men left the Stone ranch with their work done. The trail is a good three hours long, and they reached Sinclairs’ place at about 10 o'clock. He was waiting for Marion— she had sent word she should come— and he came out of the front door into the sunshine with a smile of wel- come when he saw Dicksie with her. Dicksie, long an admirer of Sinclair's, as women usually were, had _ recast somewhat violently her opinions of him. She faced him now with a criminal consciousness that she knew too much. The weight of the dreadful secret weighed on her, and her responsibility in the issue of the day ahead did not help to wake her greeting an easy one. One thing only was fixed in her mind and reflected in the tension of her lips and her eyes: The resolve to keep at every cost the promise she had giv- cn. For Dicksie had fallen under the spell of a man even more compelling than Sinclair, and felt strangely bound- en to what he had said. Sinclair, however, had spirit enough to smooth quite away every embarrass- ment. ‘“‘Bachelor’s quarters,’’ he ex- plained roughly and pleasantly, as ha led the two women toward the house. “Cowmen make poor housekeepers, but you must feel at home.”’ And when Dicksie, looking at his Indian rugs on the floors, the walls and the couches, said she thought he had little to apolo- gize for, Sinclair looked gratified and took off his hat again. “Just a mo- ment.” he said, standing at the side of the door. “I’ve never been able to get Marion over here before, so it hap- pens that a woman’s foot has never entered the new house. I want to watch one of you cross the threshold for the first time.” Dicksie, moving ahead, retreated with a laugh. “You first, then, Marion.’’ “No, Dicksie, you.” “Never! you first.’’ Se Marion, quite red and wretchedly ill at ease, walked into the ranch house first. Sinclair shone nowhere better than as a bost. When he had placed his guests comfortably in the living room he told them the story of the building of the house. Then he made 4 cicerone of him- self, and expsained, with running com- ments, each feature of his plan as he showed how it had been carried out through the various rooms. Surprised at the attractiveness of things, Dicksie found herself manaing mental notes for her own use, and began asking ques- tions. Sinclair was superb in answer- ing, but the danger of admiring things became at once apparent, for when Dicksie exclaimed over a handsome bearskin, a rich dark-brown grizzly skin of unusual size, Sinclair told the story of the killing, bared his tremendous ——— oe =p

It is down at Medicine Bend now, being dressed and mounted. By the way, I’ve forgotten to ask you, Miss Dicksie, about the high water. How did you get through at the ranch?” Dicksie, sitting on the piano bench, looked up with resolution. ‘‘Bravely!’’ she exclaimed. “Mr. McCloud came to our rescue with bags and mattresses and 100 men, and he has put in a re- vetment 1000 feet long. Oh, We are regular river experts at our house now! Had you any trouble here, Mr. Sin- clair?’’ “No, the Frencnman behaves pretty well in the rock. We had 40 feet of water here one day, though; 4 feet, that’s right. McCloud, yes; able fellow, I guess, t though he and I don’t hit off.”” Sinclair sat back in his chair, and as he spoke he spoke magnanimous- ly. “He doesn’t like me, but that is no fault of his; railroad men, and good ones, too, sometimes get started wrong with one another. Well, I’m glad he took care of you. Try that piano, Miss Dicksie, will you? I don’t know much about pianos, but that ought to be a good one. I would wheel the player over for you, but anyone that plays as beautifully as you ought not to be al- lowed to use a player. Marion, I want to talk a few minutes with you, may I? Do you mind going out under the cot- tonwood?’’ Dickstie’s heart jumped. ‘Don't be gone long, Marion,’’ she exclaimed, im- pulsively, ‘‘for you know, Mr. Sinclair, we must get back by 2 o’clock.”” And Dicksie, pale with apprehension, looked at them both. Marion, quite composed, nodded reassuringly and followed Sin- clair out of doors into the sunshine. For a few minutes Dicksie fingered wiidly on the plano at some half-for- gotten air, and in a fever of excite- ment walked out on the porch to see where they were. To her relief, she saw Marion sitting near Sinclair un- der the big tree in front of the house, where the horses stood. Dicksie, with her hands on her girdle, walked for- lornly back and forth, hummed a tune, sat down in a vege 4 chair, fanned herself, rose, walked back and forth again, and reflected that she was r- fectly helpless, and that Sinciair might kill Marion a hundred times before she could reach her. And the thought that Marion was perhaps wholly uncon- scious of danger increased her anxiety. She sat down in respair. How could Whispering Smith have allowed anyone he had a care for to be exposed in this dreadful way? Trying to think what to do, Dicksie hurried back to the living room, walked to the piano, took the pile of sheet music from the top, and sat down to thumb it over. She threw song after song on the chair beside her. They were sheets of gaudy coon songs and ragtime with flaring covers, and they seenied to give eff odors of cheap perfume. Dicksie hardly saw the titles as she passed them over, hut of a sud- den she stopped. Between two sheets of music lay a small handkerchief. It was mussed, end in the corner of it Nellie was written conspicuously in a laundry mark. The odor of musk became in an instant sickening. Dicksie threw the music disdainfully aside, and sprang up with a flushed face to leave the room. Sinclair’s remark about the first wom- an to cross the threshold came back to her. From that moment Dicksie hated him. But no sooner had she seated herself on the poreh than she remem- jeft her hat in the for she had after it. She had just left a seg apart a A n ver was spre fore ‘an ee across the table lay a rifle. The man had not been in the room when she left it a moment before. Dicksiy passed behind him. He paid no attention to her; he had not looked up when she entered the room. Pass- ing behind him once more to go out, Dicksie looked through the open win- dow before which he sat. Sinclair and Marion sitting under the cottonwood tree were in plain sight, and the muzzle of the rifle lay where it covered them. Dicksie thrilled, but the man was busy with his work. Breathing deeply, she walked out on the porch again.

Eastern Racing Seas —_ =. a PF Opening Will See Bookies Wielding Familiar Betting Im- plements of Former Times.

BALTIMORE, April 24.—The Eastern racing season under the auspices of the Jockey Club opens at Pimlico today, and the town is thronged with the won- derfully diversified gathering that goes to make up the turf world. When the bugle calls the horses to the post in the opening race, the historic old course will be thronged with bankers, brokers, planters and the best that Baltimore society contains, as well as owners, trainers, jockeys and bookmakers, rep- resenting the professional end of the sport. A program of seven races has been provided by the management for the opening. The Baltimore cup for ama- teur riders, and the Inaugural steeple- chase, the two features of the card, promise excellent contests, but as the conditions for the other five races were well arranged, many excellent racers of high quality will compete all the after- noon for the first turf prizes of the season. There will be 36 bookmakers on hand to accommodate the wants of those FORSHAW FIT, HATCH MAY LOSE Whether the annual Missouri A. ©. marathon race, to be run a week from today, will sirmply be the same old Struggle between Joe Forshaw of the M. A. C. and Sidney R. Hatch of Chi- cago is a question that is bothering lo- cal men. Joe Erxleben might cut in on the game, but what he ig going to do at 26 miles 385 yards is a problem hard to solve. Forshaw will like the additional mile and 38 yards that have been added to the course from Freeburg, Ill., to the Missouri A. C. But then Hatch has al- ways managed to stick right with For- shaw, and with the exception of four years ago beat Joe to the tap every time in the sprint that usually starts on entering East St. Louis. There are a number of other runners in the event, but Forshaw and Hatch have beaten practically all of them. Forshaw won the race four years ago, while Hatch won for the past three years, which its a great record. Hatch has not shown much form this year, while Forshaw has been coming along gradually and has been preparing for the marathon for months. Frank Habig of the Central Y. M. C. A. thinks that he is going to be ablo to cover the full route this time. If he does he is going to be hard to beat, Habig runs up on his toes and has fine form. It is a difficult proposition for a man to run the full marathon distance upon his toes. All of the local! runners will take their final workouts for the race tomorrow. Several Italian and Greek runners have handed in their entry blanks for the race. There seems no doubt but that there will be a fleid of 60 in the event, as over #4 started last year.

for , Up te McCarthy Now. Jack Harvey, manager of the Al Gibbs girls’ baseball team, declares that he is willing that his club play Barney Mc- Carthy’s girls for any amount up to $500. The Gibbs girls’ team plays at Empire Park today and the Alta Sita Stars at East St. Louis tomorrow.

racegoers who are inclined to invest a few dollars on the chances of their favorites. As a result of yesterday’s rain the track is heavy and hor:ding and only the mudlarks will have a chance to win. It was this selfsame mud that saved a little stable boy from possibly thfury yesterday. During the progress of training, one of the 2-year-olds whirled suddenly and swung his midget of a pilot out of the saddle, but the young- ster could not get free of one of the stirrup irons and was dragged in dang- ling fashion along the track. While the onlookers were crying out with terror, a sudden twist of the horse’s bedy caused the little stable lad’s foot to slip out of the stirrup and he fell to the ground uninjured. There will be no lack of clever jockeys on hand to take part in the meeting. Among those most prominent who will Zive an exhibition of their skill are Eddie Dugan, McIntyre, McCahey, Lei- bert and Guy Burns. The last-named boy may sign to ride during the meet for Eddie Peters, who has charge of the horses owned by the Rainey brothers. The following-named horses seem ‘to have an excellent chance to run well in their respective races: First race—Busy, Lucatta, Sou. Second race—Ragman, Ardri, Clements. Third Race—Red River, Rosamio, Beaucoup. Fourth Grandpa. Fifth race—Botanist, Astor d’Or, Dol- ly Spanker.

Two Leagues

Rhodes today for the Cardinals. Chance will probably fall back on Brown to cinch the odd game here. On the season it’s three all for the Cubs and Cardinals. The Cardinals won but three games from the Cubs all last year. Cincinnati is doing its annual spring morning glory stunt. About June for this blossom, and then the wilting time. ———— The National League race is certain'!y topsy turvy in the standing. Three of the clubs that will finish in the firs: division are in the second flight. Ed Walsh will soon be getting a mes- sage from Jack Binns Comiskey, !f the White Sox ship don’t quit wobbling. ——_—_— What alls the great Larry's batting eye? It’s too early in the morning of baseball for the King. But then they are whispering that his trusty ash Is no longer as reliable as of yore; and the records of last season will reming us that it is true. casi The Sox are hitting more weakly than ever this year. Four safeties was their total off Mullin yesterday. And still the Tigers had to fight 11 innings to make 10 hits, in order to win the game.

The Browns’ outfield, right now, ts hitting up with any in the country. Stone, Hartzell and Hoffman are driv- ing in the runs. —__— Jimmy Stephens was there with the hit when it was needed yesterday. Sneak thieves at the Southern Hote] made away with $80 in cash, the prop-_ erty of Brown, Overall, Zimmerman and Hagerman, yesterday.

“Bully!” That’s what a certain well Known private eitisen ef this Republic would say should he ever take

BY JOHN ball, in the series with the Cardinals. Circumstances arose yesterday where Johnny Kling would have starred, though Moran failed. Perhaps John of the Big Mitt would not have let Charles knock the ball from his grasp as he came feet first into the plate in the fourth on Zimmerman’s throw. Johnny Evers, too, might not have elected to make this play had he been in Zimmer- man’s place and‘that would have cut off three tallies of the Cardinals. But after all it was just weak pitching that cost the champions yesterday's 6-3 dis- aster, after they had almost wrapped the game up. Whereas Johnny Lush showed the best form he had displayed this season for the Cardinals, virtually winning his own game by driving out three hits and pitching reliable baseball when the shoe ing. If he had anything concealed about his delivery that could - have stopped an amateur he had a splendid hiding place for it. He was rapped rather freely throughout the centest and in addition, he was wild ag the untamed gentleman of museum fame who hailed from Borneo.’ In that won- derful fourth Lundgren did: everything from submitting to safeties to ng the ribs of opposing batsmen, not It- ting to hand out bases on balls. After he had given two men first and been unable to prevent two others from get- ting there through the medium of safe- ties, which netted one run, Lundgren was chased to the canopy to keep com- With a two-run lead on the Cubs and a youngster pitch'ng, the game looke: good to Lush, and he held the Cubs safe in alithe tight places. The lively gentlemen from League Park add- ed another tally in the fifth, Lush him- self boosting Delehanty across the plate after Del. had previously singled. The Cardinals, with their batting eyes in operation, appeared better to the fans than in the opening game, when their playing was faulty, and their hitting weak. The bombardment of the Cubs’ pitcher gave the Chance defense plenty of work, and that it cracked once or twice was to be expected. The Cubs, however, are in good phy- sica] condition, and can be expected to get into winning stride j::st ag soon as the ptching staff rounds to form. At present Mordecai Brown seems the only reliable pitcher who has attained any- thing like his mid-season effectiveness. But don’t worry about what the Cubs are going to do, this season. Johnny Kling may push the ivories across the green amid Kansas City's dust all sum- mer long, and Johnny Evers may go back on his promise to report April 30, but when the curtain rings down on the season Mr. Chance and company will be right up at the head of the bread line, jostling the first place people for the pennant hand-out. . Bresnahan’s youngsters will not win any pennant this year, but the club is healthier in spirit, and certainly more efficient than last year’s team. Byrne is a different lad than the year pre- vious, and most of the men have pro- fited by a season under fire in the big League. Th? intic.. is lacking fn dis- tinction at shortstop, but it may do. The team play is vastly improved, and the wits of Noger are manifest in the machine working of the club.

Hagerman’s legacy was a diamond punctuated by occupied bases. Also, there was but one down. Byrne then slammed down a fast one to Zimmer- man. Johnny Evers’ would have turned a double play and ended the works: | but Zimmerman chose Moran as his target. The ball was a trifle wide and when the hastening Charles hit the plate feet first Moran was not braced for the shock. His insecure hold on the’ ball gave way, and the ball rolled to the stand, home for the third tally of the inning. Hagerman then added to the 'delight- ful afternoon of Frank Chance by ii struck out Konetechy, while for the second time in the inning, an easy infield out.

In answering the advocates of the sea-level type he says: “In the pro- jected sea-level canal, it would be im- possible for vessels safely to pass one another at any speed at all. Therefore one vessel would have to tie up while the other went by. This fact would greatly reduce the speed with which a vessel could pass through the sea- level canal, and the greater the busi- ness, the slower would be the passage. As the tonnage increased, therefore, the lock canal of the projected type, in spite of the time taken going through the locks to the 85-foot level and de- scending from that level, in case of larger steamers, would furnish a quick- er passage. As business increased, time taken in going through the sea- level canal and the danger to the vesse! would be very considerably greater tlan in the lock canal. The dangertof accidents and of the destruction of the locks, if. certain machinery is used and certain precautions are taken in the warping of the vessels into and out of the locks, will be practically nothing In addition, Mr. Taft declares, it would take $200,000,000 more of money and hats vears more of time to build a sea-leve the canal.

REGULATION.O BAKERIES TAILD OR Thin TIME Bill Is Compromise Between Health Department and Bakers’ Association.

Regulation of bakeries is attempted for the third time in two years in a bill which Delegate J. C. Taussig of the Twenty-third Ward has introduced. in the House of Delegates at the request of the Board of Health. The new bill is a compromise be- tween the Health Department and the Master Bakers’ Association which op- posed a former moasure as being too stringent. in this latest ordinance there is no requirement that employes of bakeries shal! submit to medical ex- amination at regular intrevals, although authority is given the Health Com- missioner to demand a physician's cer- tificate that all workers in such shops are free from contaglous or communi- cable diseases. Additional Provisions. Additional provisions are one that bakeries shall be conducted in rooms having ceilings at least 10 feet high; that no toilets or ashpits shall be per- mitted in the quarters used for the manufacture or sale of bakers’ prod- ucts; that the premises shall be clean and sanitary, and be painted or white- washed at the direction of the Health Commissioner; that no fowls or animals shall be allowed in the bakeries, and that no person suffering from a con- tagious or communicable disease shall be engaged in the making of bread or other products. a A penalty ranging from $10 to $100 is fixed as punishment for any viola- tion of the proposed ordinance. 'ID ON HOT SPRINGS AGAIN Special to the Post- Dispatch, HOT SPRING Ark., April 24.—All clubrooms and oniniiies houses in the city were closed today, the managers having been tipped off that stringent orders were to be issued. This was not unexpected by the club men, on account of the shooting of three men in the Texas Club here last Mon- day, which caused the reformers to re- new agitation.

ha » a | en AGAINST CECIL N GOEBEL CASE Friends of East Side Detective Disappointed That He Is Not Among Pardoned. > IN Governor of Kentucky Is De- nounced by Placard as “Murderer of Justice.”

WILLSON EFFIGY

Friends of Francis M. Cecil, former Sergeant-at-Arms of the Kentucky Legislature, under indictment as an ac- cessory before the fact to the Goebel murder, were disappointed that he was not included in the list of those par- doned by Gov. Willson. Cecil is em- ployed as a detective by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and lives with his family at East St. J[oulis. Friends of Cecil said Saturday that, as Cecil. Wharton Golden and William H. Coulton had turned Commonwealth's evidence in the Caleb Powers and How- ard trials, they had not won the Repub- lican good will. They added that it was understood that the indictments against these three were to be dismissed as soon aa the trials in which they were want- ed as witnesses had been finished. Now; Cecil's friends say, the Gov- ernor and his Republican advisers have decided to let the charges stand and ‘put it up to’’ the Democratic Common- wealth’s Attorneys, Robert Franklin of Frankfort. to dismiss the charges. Franklin and Cecil had a disagreement about Cecil's insisting on returning to East St. Louis to spend Thanksgiving day with his family during one of the Kentucky trials. Cecil said Saturday: “I know noth- ing about ‘what is being done in Ken- tucky and am still am under an indictment, at liberty under a $3000 bond, but unpardoned.”’ TAYLOR PARDONED IN GOEBEL CASE BY GOVERNOR WILLSON FRANKFORT, Ky., April 24.—Gov. Willson has cleared the Kentucky court records of all charges growing out of the murder in January, 1900, of Senator William A. Goebel, who was declared to have been elected Governor, except those hanging over State's evidence witnesses in the alleged conspiracy, by granting pardons before trial to former Gov. W. 8. Taylor and former Secre- tary of State Charles Finley, who have been fugitives in the State of Indtana for nine years; John Powers, brother of Caleb Powers, who ig believed to he in Honduras; Holland Whittaker of Butler County; John Davis of Louis- ville, and Zach Steels of Bell County. Those over whom indictments are left hanging are: Wharton Golden of Knox County, now in Colorado; Frank Cecil of Bell County, now a railroad detective in Fast St. Louis, and William H. Coul- ton of Owsley County, said to have died in the West a few months ago. These cases, with the possible excep- tion of Cecil, will be dismissed, leaving Henry E. Youtsey, now serving a life sentence in the State Penitentiary, the only person to suffer for the taking off of Goebel.
