DAUGHTER BORN TO QUEEN AND DUTCH REJOICE Past Disappointments Render Event Doubly Joyful to Wilhelmina’s People.

BABY IN WOOD CRADLE

Ornamented Only With Lace Which Women Have Been Making for Months.

THE (gueen HAGUE, April 30.—Wilhelmina, of the Netherlands, gave birth to a daughter this morning. The condi- tion of Her Majesty is satisfactory, the infant Princess is doing well and Hol- land is celebrating the happy event from one end the country to the with expressions of joy such as seldom have been witnessed among this placid of other } people, The political significance of the occur- rence lies in the fact that there is now an heir to the throne of the Nether- lands, a circumstance that greatly en- haneces the country for continued inde- dependence. Every town village in Holland is today. celebrating the long-waited birth of a « Her Majesty. Tragic Disappotatments, The extraordinary interest which the people of Holland are taking in the visit of the stork at the royal palace is due to two causes—the tragic disappoint- ments they have suffered in the past on this account, and the fact that, lacking an heir, the death of Queen Wilhelmina would plunge the country into a sea of trouble on account of the succession to the throne. Queen Wiihelmina, who was crowned Sept. 6, 1896, at 18 vears of age, was married -Teb. 7, 1991, to Duke Henry Viadimir Albert Ernest, Duke of Meck- lenberg-Sciwerin. It- was a love match. The Duke became, and is, Prince-Con- sort. Christmas, 1901, the stork was expect- ed, but the country was disappointed, the Queen passing through a dangerous ilMess, which developed the next spring into typhoid fever, when her life was despaired of. Julv, 1906, it was again announerd that the Queen was expecting an heir, and that she was recovering from the attack of melancholia to which she had fallen victim on account of the repeated dis- appointments. Great preparations were again made to celebrate the looked for event. They were futile. Sept. 10, 1908, it was reported child had been born to the had died at birth. In spite of all this the preparations for the event now being celebrated were on a gigantic scale. The school children were given a holiday, and amnesty for certain classes of prison.*s was pro- claimed. " , ay OR SKY é . . ee “NY

DETROIT, Mich., April 30.—Dr. G. K. Boyajian, an Armenian, today shot and fatally wounded his nepltew, Haroton H. Gaspanian, while the latter was being arraigned in Police Court with the phy- sician's wife, on a statutory charge. Dr. Boyajian then turned the revolver on his wife, and fired the two remaining bullets at her. One missed her entirely and the other penetrated the crown of her hat. Joseph L. Kraemer, a news- paper artist, saved the woman's life by pushing her into a vacant juryroom. Dr. Boyajian told a remarkable story of his discovery of the alleged rela- tions between his wife and nephew, whom he had brought from his home at Lynn, Mass., and was educating in a local medical college. His suspicions were first arouscd by having his wife murmur his nephew's name in her sleep. The doctor phen summoned a lawyer. They questioned her. He declared that she made a full eonfession. He then swore out warrants for the arrests. ae ee eee GOVERNMENT LIMIT ON TIP 15¢ eee —— Order of War Department Regu- lates Employes’ Favors.

HIS BRIDE IS WITNESS

Sullivan Ross, Formerly Flo- rindo Beefiglio, Says Albert Reid Beat Him.

Sullivan Ross, who explained on the witness stand that he changed his name Florindo Belfiglio when he took an American bride, was exonerated by a Coroner's jury Friday at the inquest into the death of Albert Reid, a tallor, whom Ross killed by plunging a screw- driver into his brain. He testified that he acted in self-defense. His young bride sat beside him at the inquest and was on the list of witnesses as Mrs. Ross. Belfiglio came to St. Louis from Italy a year and a half ago and was married less than a year ago. He changed his name, he said, because Americans found it difficult to pronounce. Came Here With Bride. Reid was the manager of the Amert- can Pressing Co.’s shop at 5091 Suburban tracks. He was 23 years old and he came to St. Louis from Jefferson City with his young bride four months ago. His home wast 5152 Cabanne avenue. The fight took place in the tailor shop Wednesday. Ross, a locksmith, em- ployed by Henry Ascher of 5011 Delmar boulevard, was sent to the shop to re- pair the lock on a rear door. There was no eyewitness to the fight, but Frank Sims, a negro porter, was present when the quarrel started. He says Reid said to Ross: ‘‘I’ve had a lot of trouble with that door. You people have tried to fix it several times. You'd better make a good job of it.’’ ‘Don’t kick to me. wo to my boss about it,’’ replied Ross, according to Sims’ statement. Negro Hears Quarrel. Reid and.Ross clinched and the negro fled into the rear yard. A few minutes later he went around to the front and found Reid lying in the doorway with a screwdrivers.sticking in his left temple. Both of Rass’ eyés are discolored and bis nose is bruised. Reid put a key In eouldn’t tum it,”’ he him he had the wrong key. He called me a liar and knocked me down. I had a screw driver in my hand. He jumped on me and while he was beating me I swung my arms to defend myself. I didn't mean to kill him. When I saw what I had done I gave myself up at the Page Avenue Police Station.” NATE GIVES MORE POWER 10 ST LOUIS BOARD Transfers Authority to Audit Special Tax Bills for Public Improvements. the lock and said. “I told

9 Staff Correspondent of the Poat-Dispatch, JEFEFRSON CITY, April ator Prendergast today obtained the passage of a bill transferring from the City Auditor and Comptroller to the President of the Board of Public Improvements in St. Louis authority to audit sperzial tax bills for street and other public improvements. The propesed law was denounced by Senator Krone, Republican, of St. Louls. Krone declared among other things that it was in the interest of St. Louis contractors, Senator Prendergast now has con- tracts with the city amounting to over $1,000,000, Section 3 of the bill requires that the Municipal Assembly, when the Board of Public Improvements has recommended the payment of a vouch- er for public improvements, shall pass an ordinance appropriating “an amount equal to that found to be due and owing In such claim by the Board of Public Improvements, in favor of the person holding such claim, and the acceptance by him of the sum so appropriated by the Municipal As- sembly shall be in full for such claim and the city In full released therefrom forever.” Another Gain for Cortractor. Section 4 gives the contractor a fur- ther legal advantage. It reads: ‘‘The Board of Public Improvements, Munici- pal Assembly officer of any such city refusing failing to pass upon any claim presented under this act, or failing to pass upon and allow such claim in the manner provided by this act, and within a reasonable time after the claim is presented, may be com- pelled by writ of mandamus to perform such duty by the Circuit Court of the judicial district where such city is lo- cated,” CHANGED HIS HABITS, Saved $5 by getting one of those 13.50 sample Suits at the Globe, 7th and Franklin av., tomorrow.

Advise against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics, A doctor’s first question when con- sulted by a patient ia, “are your bowels regular?” He knows that ninety-eight per cent of illness is attended with in- active bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with nox- ious gasea and waste matter which nat- urally accumulates and which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage through the bow- els, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated use of such treatments cause chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels, hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has fatal re- sults. We have a positive, pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel dis- orders in general. We are so certain of its great curative value that we prom ise to return the purchaser’s money in every case when it fails to produce en- tire satisfaction. This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies.

Only one in eight takes Corn Flakes; one in ‘twenty takes Wheat Flakes; one in seventeen takes a Breakfast Biscuit. Three times as many take or Puffed Rice as take all other ready-cooked cereals together. That is why we urge you to try them. There are three chances in four that you’ll like them better than any other foods you know. Foods Shot from Puffed Wheat and Puffed

SURPRISE TO FRIENDS J. W. Bennett and Miss Mary O’Brien, His Stenographer, Elope to Clayton.

Amid the romantic surroundings of Valley Park and the Meramec River, flowing through enchanted woodlands, a courtship was carried on with the aid of a canoe, saddle horses and walks through the woods. All these aided the ardent spirit of J. Walter Bennett to win pretty Mary O’Brien. Mr. Bennett is a member of the Paddle and Saddle Club, and often took Miss O’Brien out to ride through the fragrant forest paths or float with him in his canoe down the moonlit river. That lovely Nature and crafty Cupid aided him in his quest of thé heart of the one girl for him, came to the knowledge of his friends when they re- ceived cards from Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward O’Brien of 29237 Madison street, announcing the marriage of their daugch- ter to Mr. Pennett, April 19. Was in His Employ, Mr. Bennett is local manager of Good- in, Reid & Co., dry goods commission merchants, in the Victoria Building. Miss O'Brien had been fh the employ of Mr. Bennett as his private secretary for the last year. Whether it was her ability to keep se- crets or her beauty, or both, that first aroused Mr. Bennett's admiration, is x2 secret between the two. But the after- noon of April 19, when.-it was. raining drearily outside, they left the office, went to the City Hall, got a license. went to Clayton, got married and then ‘ame back to St. Louis. They got off the car at Union avenue and saw a chauffeur driving a touring car out of a garage. Bennett hailed him. The chauffeur said he was driving a private car and going to the St. Louis L.ub for its owner. Parcnts Not Angry. But Bennett, being in the mood that could get anything he wanted as long as he had succe ~-d in getting the girl of his heart, was able to subsidize the conscience of the chauffeur and the newly marrie:' pair were whirled down to the. M. A. C. There they had dinner and telephoned to the parents of ‘he bride, who were surprised but not ingry at all. Mr. and Mrs. he Bennett are now living at the Lenox Hotel. Next week Mr. oennett will take his bride to Valley Park for a long vacation. He has Se- lected Valley Park for his honeymoon because he is one of the most enthu- :° gtic members of the Paddle and Sad- lue Club, owns a canoe in which he spends most of his holiday time, and because Mrs. Bennett has made many friends there while on visits with her husband. TWO SCARRED BY ACID IN FIRST LOVERS QUARREL Italian, Jealous of Fiancee, Struggles With Her for Glass.

In their first lovers’ Robe- monco Gismonti and Theresa Ferroris, who came from Italy to be a bride, were disfigured for life by carbolic acid. Now their love for each other is dead, they say, and they will appear as wit- nesses against each other in the Dayton Street Police Court. Gismonti came to St. Louis from Rome two years ago and opened a shoemaker's shop at 1234 North Ninth street. He worked early and late to save money to send for his sweetheart, Theresa, A year ago he sent her transportation and she came across the ocean to join him. Theresa, like many of her race, had a winning smile, and that worried ..smonti, he says, because he thought that the smile was not for him alone. Wednesday night he reproached The. resa, telling her that she was too affa- ble to other men. Struggle for Acid, “If you smile at them all the time I will have nothing more to do with you,’’ he threatened. Theresa left the cobbler’s shop. A few minutes later she returned holding 1 glass containing a clear liquid. She held it above her head. Gismonti leaped from hig bench and seized her arm. In the struggle for the glass its contents were spilled in both their faces, burn- ing them. After their injuries were dressed they went to their homes and the police did not learn what had happened until Thursday night, when Gismonti and his former sweetheart were arrested. They were 4 pitiable sight as they stood before the Carr Street Station desk. There was no softness of love in Gismondi’s scarred face as he glow- ered at Theresa. “She meant to throw the acid in my face, ” ne sald. ; “No, I wasn't going to hurt you,” said Theresa. “I was just going to kill my- self, that was all.” Each was anxious to prosecute the other on @ charge of disturbing the quarrel,

PSYCHIC STUDY PUTS POLICEMAN AN CITY HOSPITA Becomes Demented After Try- ing to Manufacture a “Thought Indicator.”

THINKS MIND IS READ

Delusion Follows ‘Cramming’ on Scientific Books and Police Manual.

Policeman Henry R. Steinmann of the Angelica Street Station, after months of poring over scientific books on auto-suggestion, telepathy, psycholo- gy, hypnotism and therapeutics, tried to manufacture a thought indicator out of a bicycle speedometer, his wife notified the captain at the police station. Now Steinmann is confined in the ob- Bervation ward at the City Hospital, thoroughly convinced that his superior officers and his enemies have invented a@ thought indicator by which they can read his inmost thoughts. His desire to manufacture an indicator, so he ‘could read the minds of those who read his mind, precipitated his retire- ment to the hospital. The demented patrolman also devoted days of arduous study to his police manual, and Mrs. Steinmann says this is what turned his head. but the alienist physicians at the City Hospital are in- clined to the belief it was Steinmann’s delving into mental science. Studied Heavy Booka. Among the books studied by Stein- mann were Prof. William James’ treatise on psychology, which is used in schools; “Hypnotism and Its Application to Practical Medicine,” by Wetter- strand; “Suggestive Therapeutics,’ by Bernheim; Hudson's “The Law of Psychic Phenomena,’ and a book by Dr. R. von Krafft-Ebing. These books, too heavy and scientific in subject matter and language for the average man, occupied a place on the sideboard in Steinmann’s home, and Mrs, Steinmann says her husband pored @ver them every minute he was at home, except when he slept, for more than a year. Steinmann became a_ patrolman in June, 1997, a little less than two vears ago, and his wife says she first noticed his delusions about six months after he joined the foree. For the first few months that he was a policeman Stein- niann studied his manual constantly When off duty, and in a short time was almost lettér perfect on the rules gov- «rning his ‘conduct, according to Mrs. Steinmann. Mivery day the man would repeat some part of the manual! from memory, his wife told a Post-Dispatch reporter, and sometimes she would awakened at night.by his voice saying his manual in hie sleep.

wife said, was to be- criminologist. He the department and seemed to think a good way to get on would be to become expert in mental science in order to make correct deduc- tions when on the trail of criminals, Planned Mentzol Indicator. Soon he evolved his idea of a mental indicator. This machine he often de- scribed to his wife and his fellow-offi- cers. As nearly as Mr. Steinmann could make out, the thought indicator Was 4 contrivance about the of a watch that could be carried in the pocket. This was fitted with wheels and one hand, When the holder attuned the indicator to the psychic wave of an individual, Steinmann read the thoughts of that individual, tell where he was and what he was doing, no matter how far away he might be, he fancied. Finally Steinmann attempted to make one of the thought-indicators for his own use. His theory was that the ether surrounding the earth was filled with psychie currents, emanating from each individual. I* the psychic wave of a particular person could be caught and made to register on the dial of an indi- cator, the holder of the machine could know at any desired instant just what the individual to whom he had his indi- cator attuned was doing, saying and thinking, what he was seeing and what was going on around him. Would Catch Psychic Waves, His thought-indicator was to be a machine that.could catch these psychi¢ waves out of the surrounding ether and make them register. Accordingly he obtained a_ speedo- meter, such as is used on bicycles, and tried to transform it into a thought- indicator. He took the thing apart and experimented with it for days until his wife, in desperation, threw the machine away while he was on duty. She then told the authorities at the Angelica Street Police Station about her husband. ‘The Captain observed Stein- mann for several days, and Tuesday de- termined to send him to the hospital. The doctors at the hospital say that Steinmann has a chance for complete recovery, but state that his delusions possibly are permanent. They do not allow the patient to read or to talk with anyone about his studies and his thought indicator. Steinmann is 34 years old, and before he joined the force in 1907 was a fore- man for the National Stamping and Enameling Co. His wife, Mrs. Emma Steinmann, and three children, live at 5214 Blair avenue. SMUGGLED GEMS SEIZED IN EXCLUSIVE HOTEL AS OWNERS PLAN THEIR SALE Brought Into New York by Mexi- can Senor and Senora, Value $18,000. NEW YORK, April 30.—In the in- (heritance of Senor Del Villar, a land ; owner of Mexico—he tells the story | htinself— was a mortgage for $27,000 ‘on an ancient hacienda near the city 'of Mexico. Senor Del Villar needed | this amount of money and he tific his come expert wanted in books, an to rise size could

The mort- 'gagor came of an old family more ‘distinguished for its ancestry than |ready money, but he had some fine antique jewelry of European make which he offered to Senor Del Villar in lieu of cash. It was accepted by the Senor. The value of the jewels tn American money is said to be close to $18,000. They consist of a necklace of leaf and bud pattern convertible into two bracelets and set with 8&0 one-carat and 80 one anda half carat diamonds and clusters of smaller gems, with pigeon blood rubles between the links and a three-circled bracelet set with 37 diamonds of one carat éach, ten smaller stones, One canary diamond, one pigeon blood ruby and one emer- ald, each of four and a half carats. These jewels, in the possession of their owner and a Senora who gives the name of Auralia Calderon, arrived on Saturday from Vera Cruz aboard the Ward liner Moro Castle and were not declared. Also aboard the Morro Castle was Joseph Madariaga, a cour- ler in the city of Mexico and at times friend and guide for a consideration for Mexican visitors to New York. He came as the valet of the Senor and had expectation of disposing of the jewels here for him for $20,000, in THREE PASTORS TO JOIN IN DEDICATION OF NEW CHAPEL Dr. W. S.

BULLET RIDDLES SLAYER'S STORY OF SELF-DEFENSE Jury Gives Kretschmar 18-), Year Sentence for Killing His Former Friend.

PILLORIED AS ASSASSIN

Brother of Murdered Man | Prompts Prosecutor. in Stern Arraignment.

Regardless of his persistent declara- tions that he killed his life-long friend, Jones, in self-defense, the jury which tried Herman A. Kretsch- wimar in Judge Shields’ court found him guilty of murder and fixed his punish- ment at 18 years in the penitentiary. His lawyers said Friday that if their intended motion for a new trial is de- nieaqa am appeal to the Supreme. Court will be made. Kretschmar had hoped that his testi- mony in his own behalf would have but the evidence as to the downward range of the bullets which killed Jones proved too strong to be overcome by interested testimony. In summing up the evidence Assistant Circuit Attorney Newton laid great stress on the direction of the bullets. He insisted that this evidence was ab- solute proof that Jones was seated at his desk when Kretschmar fired on him. ‘“‘Assassin!’’ shouted Newton, turning toward Kretschmar in the midst of his appeal to the jury. Chose Time for Murder. Newton declared the defendant had gone to the Commonwealth Feed Mills on the day of the tragedy for the ex- | press purpose of killing Jones, and had selected a time of day when he knew si Jones would be alone. In his statement to the jury Kretsch- mar declared he had no thought of kill- ing Jones when he called at the mills. Jones, he insisted, attacked him when he asked for a retraction of statements made by Jones in letters, and he fired in self-defense. Kretschmar’s own statement was the only testimony offered by the defense, with the exception of character evidence given by several business men. Police Commissioner Jones, brother of the slain man, sat behind Prosecutor Newton, and suggested questions which were introduced in the cross-examina- tion. The jury was unanimous in finding the delay in return- ing a verdict being caused by a differ- ence of opinion as te punishment. PUTS $3700 IN VAULT: DROWNS “SELF IN PARK

|GOV, JOHNSON ENTERS RACE FOR SEAT IN THE SENATE Friends Believe Minnesota Demo- crat Thus Will Launch Presi- dential Boom for 1912. WASHINGTON, April 30.—Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota, according to friends here, intends to enter the sena- torial race to contest for the seat now

occupied by Senator Clapp. , Clapp’s term expires March 4, 1911, and his suc- cessor will be elected by the Legisila- ture sitting in 1910. Gov. Johnson's great popular strength, which has been sufficient to keep him in the gubernatorial chair in the face of Republican success elsewhere in the State, is suggested by his friends 4s warrant for the hope that Swedigh members of the Minnesota Legislature elected as Republicans may be willing

to join the Democrats in the Legisla-

ture in electing Gov. Johnson to the Senate, and thus launch him prominent- ly as the Democratic presidential can- didate four years hence.

Louis and in Missouri. The Federal crowd, however, believes Wyman will eventually be told he has had all the vindication he is entitled to by the fact that he has been permitted to hold over two years, and that his successor will be named immediately after the adjournment of the special session of Congress. Akins Considered Strong. It is no secret about the Federal * building that Subtreasurer Thomas J. ¥~- Akins has the support of the Federal crowd, which is not friendly to Wyman, ._ and it is the general talk at the Federal + building that Akins will be named to succeed Wyman. Charles Nagel, the St. Louls member. of President Taft's Cabinet, is friendly to Oscar L. Whitelaw, and has been considered to be in favor of Whitelaw’s appointment. Akins, however, has much f - political strength in Missouri, a fact / ¢-- which, the politicians say, Senator War- ; “* ner will not overlook. If Akins is ap- pointed Postmaster there is a vacancy ‘in the Subtreasury, to which Whitelaw ~. could be appointed. Kiel to Have Something Else. Henry Kiel, whom the Republican City Committee would like to indorse, is te , «receive something else, according to the e ~ version of the Federal politicians, What this something else is they do not # gay. but they give the inference he will a be taken care of later, either with a ~*~ Fedéral position, or at the City Hall. rs Congressman Bartholdt, who is con- . sidered a Kiel supporter, is said to have -» been told in a recent Washington con- ~ - ference that he should keep his hands - off. Charles F. Gallenkamp, Surveyor of Custoins in St. Louis, owes his ap- | _~ pointment to Bartholdt, and the latter ™ is said to have been told he should be ' satisfied with that and should not de- mand other places. The failure of the St. Louisans in Congress and the Cabinet to agree on Wyman’'s successor is generally believed to be the cause of delay in action by the President. The President, according to a Federal office holder, told Senator - . Warner to tell him when a man had been agreed on, and he would then take ap the matter. This same official is authority for the statement that Wyman has been told no snap judgment would be taken on him, and that he would be given full opportunity to present his case when his opponents decided on a man to succeed him. Hitchcock's Course in Doubt. Postmaster-General Hitchcock is con- sidered friendly to Wyman, but the Federal crowd do not anticipate inter- ference by him, as he would have to openly espouse Wyman’'s cause, and they do not believe his friendship for Wyman is sufficiently strong te cause him to do that. discuss the postmastership and to ai NM (Released Tomorrow, May 1, 1909) & i Released Tomorrow, May 1, 1909) a fi HIS $16.50 “Edgemere Suit : HIS $22 “Lennox” Suit is worth re Buster Brown and Tige a ; ° P : yg : .

John D,| Nadir Pasha, who was the hands of Abdul NAVAL INFORMATION OF VALUE. The expense of the battleships’ voyage around the world has heretofore been written in terms of fuel cost with something extra added for sup- plies and a repair bill which is the inevitable re- sult of service of any kind. The profit was reckoned in terms of varying kinds. There was Mr. Roosevelt’s satisfaction, for instance. The mere endeavor to keep him in a condition of quiet was expensive, but worth all it cost even when least successful. There was the test and demonstration of battleship effi- ciency, the .inspiriting of the men, the training of the officers, the influence on other nations and on our own people, always responsive to the in- fluences of pageantry. These were among. the profits from the voyage. Still the greatest profit from the long voyage is the information that there were radical archi- tectural defects in the ships, such as misplaced cumbersome superstructures and This is knowledge of sur- armor belts, perhaps other things. passing importance. It appears that now there is none of our great fleet of 25 fighters in commission, but for purposes of intimidation our “paper” strength is grand and growing. In the meantime the lives and property of Americans in Armenia will be protected by the ships of friendly nations un- til we can get our real navy of one converted yacht to the scene. eS eee ee According to a newspaper correspondent the railroad managers of Korea are so benighted as to believe that they can haul passengers for 11, cents a mile and keep out of a receiver’s hands. Missouri traffic officials could “show” them that this is impossible. icine CHARTER SUGGESTIONS. The Board of Freeholders invites from the

public suggestions for the new city charter. Wisdom may be found in a multitude of coun- selors. To widen the field of suggestion and to give the great public an opportunity to participate in the making of the charter, the Post-Dispatch supplements the invitation of the Board with the opening of its letter column for the publica- tion of suggestions from its readers. If you have an idea, a plan of municipal gov- ernment or a suggestion of improvement to of- fer, send it to the Post-Dispatch marked “char- ter suggestion.” Each letter should contain only one suggestion and must not exceed 200 words. aa Le, Le ee - o] Following the proposals to name certain street intersections after certain newspapers. locate thereabouts, let us call Olive and Jefferson “Hus- sey Square.”

a L & — a = POETRY AS A COMMERCIAL COMMODITY. William Watson, the English poet, writes an indignant letter to the London Times charging the British nation with being indifferent over the disappearance of John Davidson, who is sup- posed to have committed suicide. : “One thing at least is certain,’”’ writes Mr. Wat- son, “his blood is upon us as surely as if we had slain him with our very hands. He goes to an unknown grave in the last bitterness of despair. It is another addition to the long list of trag- edies which began with Spenser, and did not end with the death of Chatterton.” For some years John Davidson enjoyed the mild and rather questionable reputation of a “minor poet.” But recently critical thinkers have become aware of the note of genius in his work and have been studying poems which have not yet excited the faintest popular attention. Davidson starved for years and his suicide, if it be suicide, is attributed to his sufferings. But what are the facts and logic upon which Mr. Watson rests his terrible indictment? John Davidson had verses to sell. The Brit- ish people did not care for the commodity he of- fered and would not buy. Hence they are to blame for all his suffering and even for his death. This is not convincing to anybody, but poets who cannot market their verses. Davidson’s verses probably were of a very high order and he will in due time receive his reward as _ other poets have, after they are beyond the power of this world to help or hurt. But a man who tries to make a living by the manufacture—beg par- don, creation—of poetic vision must be a good salesman and be able to market his product. The market for poetry always was poorly and never can be so profitable as the wheat or corn or cab- bage market. Poets should write poetry for love of creative activity, and earn their living making things, real things, which can be weighed and valued cs commercial commodities. Had John Davidson taken this course he might now be a prosperous, self-satisfied gentleman with some paunch. And Mr. Watson would not be at war with the British people for not correctly ap- praising the commercial value of _ ecstasies, visions and prophetic forebodings. ha, hi hi — a VENEZUELA’S FUTURE. Is Venezuela to follow in the footsteps of Ar- gentine, Chile and Brazil and become a progres- sive country? In an interview recently Presiden! Gomez expressed Venezuela’s gratitude to the powers for relieving it of the menace of Castro. Congress has been called to meet May 23 to con- sider a liberal revision of the Constitution and the laws. The plan includes a new attitude toward for- elgners and foreign capital, the encouragement of immigration by the offer of free lands, the removal of export duties on coffee and cocoa abd the ultimate exploitation of the enormous agri- cultural and mineral resources of the country. South American countries which have reclaimed themselves did so at the end of just such periods of travail and turmoil as Venezuela has been through. Reaction of this kind is healthful. Castro may, after all, have been the unwitting cause of Venezuela’s finding herself. Certainly with a stable government this country of only half-suspected resources must have a wonderful future. a 2 LaF ae

Relying on Headlines, fo the Editor of the Post-loispatcn.

advice to read headlines only, he is apt to be poor- ly iuformed as to the day’s doings. I find in a morning newspaper the following extraordinary headlines: ‘Auto Hits a “Dog; One Killed, Three Hurt." This conveyed nothing very serious to my mind, and I could not see why it was in large type, until I read further and discovered that the “One killed”’ was a man. Rabbi Harrison should understand that headline writing is one of the most difficult things in newspaper work. The headlines must tell the reader just what is in the ‘story’ which follows, and yet every word and line must be counted and there {gs great danger that the fin- ished head will either misstate the facts or omit something essential. The careless headline writer is sure to mislead the reader and it is never safe to rely on headlines for the day‘s news. EXPERIENCED. .The Lash of Fear. To the Editor of the Post-Dfspatch. I have just read your account of the suicide of the unhappy man who feared that he would soon be dis- placed by ‘“‘new material’ and for that reason dreaded the future. I consider this very sad case (and there are thousands like it every year) a most powerful! arraignment of the competitive system. If that poor man could have worked without the haunting fear of the future (I know only too well what it means) don’t you think he eould have accomplished more and been of much more use to society? But the ad- vocates of the competitive system virtually say it needs the lash of fear to make man work. I know that is not true. L. H. ROBERTS. ) The Question Before Us. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Missouri Senate is not considering a “pro- hibition bill.”” The Senate is not going to pass on the question of prohibition. The Missouri Senate has under consideration a resolution, already passed by the House, to submit to the people of the State an amendment to the State Constitution prohibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor in this State. If the resolution is adopted by the Sen- ate the people will vote upon the State-wide pro- hibition in the general election of November, 1910. The only question before us now is whether the people of the State shall be permitted te vote on prohibition in the State. AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER. Blind School Environment. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see there is a bill pénding before the House of Representatives at Jefferson City providing means to buy 206 feet of ground on Magnolia avenue to west of and adjoining the Missouri School for the Blind. That would be within fifty feet of Vandeventer ave- nue. I live near the school and Tower Grove Park. If that 50 feet could be bought it could be made one of the prettiest places in St. Louis, taking in all the ground from Spring avenue to Vandeventer avenue; otherwise, there would probably be flats or apart- ment houses built on Vandeventer avenue backing on the ground belonging to the school at least 360 feet, which would completely ruin the looks and beauty of all the ground belonging to the school. when with that 50 feet it can be made One of the prettiest places in the city. I hope President Jones will make an effort to secure the 50 feet on Magnolia and 360 feet on Vandeventer. A SOUTH SIDER. “Sovereign American Citizens.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. On the occasion of its seventy-fifth anniversary, Mr. William von Hohenzollern, Emperor of Germany, presented, through the German Consul, Mr. von Loehr, an altar Bible to the Evangelical Protestant Holy Ghost Church. In a letter to the Consul, signed by the German Chancellor, and published in last Sunday’s edition of the Westliche Post, it is stated that the Emperor had the “gnade” (we heisst?) to present the Bible to the congregation. Permit mé to say that the members of the Holy Ghost Church are sovereign American citizens, and that the word “enade,’ implying an act of courtesy toward in- feriors, is, in this connection, entirely out of place CHRISTIAN PIPECOVER. Vote of the Dry Counties. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have and will always be strictly temperate, but the way I understand the question now before the people is this: That if the wets should win the election it would not affect the counties that are already dry; in other words, our vote counts for naught as far as the dry counties are concerned, but they reserve the right to vote en what St. Loults does. The question looks very unfair, and the busi- ness interests have a perfect right to complain. If the State votes wet, why not the whole State wet? If dry, why not dry? That surely expresses the sentiment of the people. There surely is no justice shown if the above is correct and apparently a one- sided question. Such tactics will wean temperate people away from their cause entirely, Let us have fairness and let the fight be clean, ff anything ts to be accomplished. Let the people rule, but let them rule cleanly and fairly. W. J. M. A Japanese View. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Condemning the perusal ef bulky, harmful news- papers, Mr. Harrison, a Jewish minister, advises us to read Shakspeare or Milton or other books of similar quality instead ef the newspapers. Are the people of the present age more delighted in a bull- fight than to hear the preacher's sermon? Have they more interest in a prize fight than a prohibition lec- ture? In newspapers, sensational war talks exag- gerated family troubles, from which shooting, Kill- ing and other edious outcomes ensue, occupy much more attention than worthy-to-read editorials or in- structive meral stories. Surely such tendency is a danger to the’ forthcoming generation. While it Is dangerous to read newspapers for merely Sensa- tlon’s sake, it fs @ great precaution against every possible snare er trap that lies concealed in the front of one’s course of life. Maybe you will gain something by reading much-condemned reports, as Emerson says: “Something is learned, too, by con- versing with so much folly and failure.” To gain or lose depends en the reader's frame of mind and not on the sensational reports.

ABABAMA’S RENAISSANCE. From a Birmingham (Ala.) Letter to the Chicago Record-Herald. There has been an educational ren- aissance in Alabama in the last two years which, as I suggested in a previ- ous letter, has been very largely due to the influence of the women of the State. Nine new agricultural colleges have been established and 67 high schools—one in each county—are now in course of erection, while the common- school system has received a therough overhauling and has the benefit of ap- propriations more liberal than ever be- fore. Alabama need no longer be ashamed of her school system. It is being rapidly brought up to date. . WHEAT AND FLOUR GAMBLERS, From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Gambling in the necessities of life Is not particularly creditable as an occupa- tion. But if the avocation of the wheat- pit gamblers is worthy of censure, what shall be said of the “sure-thing’’ game of the men who take advantages of the speculative advance to enrich them- selves without risking anything? The speculation, if left to itself, would affect the general public but little. The rise and fall might occur without making material change in the price of any wheat actually milled. The injury to the public is inflicted by the middleman, who uses the speculative game to ex- cuse the manipulation of thelr own prices,

SENATOR CUMMINS’ RANK, From the Kansas City Journal. Senator Cummins ranks Roosevelt above Washington, Aldrich above Web- ster, and Cannon above Clay, but omit- ted to mention himself. This was wrong. We say it emphatically and unhesitat- ingly, Cummins is a bigger man than Carrie Nation.

REVISION UPWARD, From the Pittsburg Dispatch. There are Senators so rude as te inti- mate that if Mr. Aldrich’s new style of appropriation revision is of the same make as his sample of tariff revision, they are fully determined to patronize the rival shop.

RANK INGRATITUDE.

JUST BEFORE THE CIRCUS. With Apologies to Eugene Field’s Estate (if any). E’S a headstrong little shaver, and it matters not how kind His parents are to him, he finds it very hard to mind. He sometimes leaves the table, for he can’t behave at all, And sits with lips a-pouting on a chair out in the hall; And when his Mamma tells him he may come in for dessert, He simply won’t come in at all, he is so very hurt To think that common discipline applies to such as he— But fust before the circus he's as good as he can be. He can’t play with his sister but hN Mamma has to take Him over to her bedroom for his future conduct’s sake And spank him till the neighbors, overhearing what proceeds, Exclaim, “That boy is getting just exactly what he needs!” He’s just a growing youngster, same as every mother’s had, With an. inborn disposition to be very, very bad, And she often has to lay him upside down upon her knee— But just before the circus he’s as good as he can be. He lets his Mamma wash him, and he never sheds a tear While she scours around the inner dirt collectors of his ear. He plays with little sister in the nicest, sweetest way, And he isn’t up to anything that’s mischievous all day. He’s lovely at the table, and he doesn’t care at all How big a piece they give him or do penance in the hall, And his Mamma and his Papa are both winking merrily— For just before the circus he’s as good as he can be.

a, ~ Sidney Hatch, Three Times Winner ot Big M. A. Not C. Race, Will Compete. —

—_ al 7 > » S annual race, according to the who arrived this morning. Bim from training. «Joe Forshaw of the M. A. Cc. won the first race held under the auspices of the -— A. C., four ago. Hatch was second. For the past three years Hatch has finished first because of his Wonderful ability to sprint nearing the finish of the long 25-mile grind. “rhe failure of Hatch to start is a big @sappointment to local athletic men who have watched Hatch in his previous réces. *Alex Thibeau of Chicago is the dean of the squad of Windy City men who are ribw in the city. Thibeau has always finished well up in the M. A. C. races and at Chicago won the New Lllinois A. @ Marathon from a big field of some of the best runners in the West. He Is 4 pewerfully built fellow and can set and ck to a hot pace from start to finish hecause of his great endurance. "The race tomorrow will be promptly at noon. All of the athletes Will report at the Me A. C. at 7:30 o'clock and the entire squad, incituding officials, will start for Freeburg, Ill., at 7330 a. m. The course should be in good shape for the race, as the rain of last night should lay the dust which in former years has been the bane of the runners, especially because of the fact tat a number of automobiles accom- pany the runners. It is expected that the winner of the race wiJl reach the M. A. C. about 2:56 o*clock. The runners will start at a peint one mile and 385 yards outside of l4veeburg and will pass through Belle- vile and East St. Louis.» i “Tie winner of the race will receive a hie silver cup and there will be cups for the next seven men to finish and wuvenir’ medals for the next 12 men finish. eorge.Merriman is another Chicago “Marathon runner who is numbered umong the Chicago squad who should members of a years started 11 IDNEY R.

make a good showing. Merriman knows the Freeburg (lll.) course perfectly and as he has made a good showing in the Chicago’ races as well as_ the local events, can be depended upon to make some of the local men hustle if they want to keep with him throughout the race. Local Entries Strong. Up to date there are 40 entries for the Local hopes for a victory rest on Joe Forshaw, Joe Erxleben and Frank Habig of the Central Y. M. C. A. The fact that the distance of the race has been increased one mile and 385 yards, making it a regulation Marathon instead 25-mile race, as was the case in former years, will work against the chances of Habig. Habig- has the speed of the bunch’ that will start tomorrow, but he lacks the endurance. If Habig can go the route he will finish well up. rxleben is the dark horse of the race. He won the 10-mile race in the Coli- seum and made an excellent showing in the indoor Marathon at Chicago, and only recently finished second .in the Western A. A. U. cress-country cham- pionship run. There is not much style to Erxleben’s running, but he manages to always finish and not only finish, but be only a short distance from the first man to cross the line. All of the runners will he forced to pass a physical examination some time this afternoon or this evening to see if they are in fit condition to stand the long grind. race, of a io

T is one of the unusual things for [ the Browns that, in the recent se- F ries with the White Sox, they had five less men left on. base. But then they didn’t have so many to waste. ‘Something tells us that this morning Mike Donlin will receive a letter out in Montana asking him te please accept a. long vacation from the New. Yerk Giants. Fer further information, ask the National Commission, It is easy to be a clairvoyant. For example,. we will venture to say, with- out charge, that the Cardinals will goon go on a long journey. This will take place immediately after the series with the Reds. We may add the pleas- ing information that they will come inte a lot of money about Decoration day. Oh, you baseball! Can you beat it? Is there any business in the world but baseball’ where the employe has four or five week's expenses paid by his employer, just to fit him for work? Is there any other occupation in the world where you draw a 12 months’ salary for six months’ hustling? Is there any other means of earning a livelihood that will permit you to turn over in bed when tired and worn out with trying to have a good time, and tel] your superior that he'll have to come across with a better contract? And if he has the ieast objection, is there any line where the worst you can get is a vacation? Is there any other job, we ask, where you are com- pelled to eat more good food, sleep in nicer beds, dodge more hospitality and in general have prosperity rammed down your throat than in basebal!? Well, not so that you can find it. Driven to Extremes. *" HEN there's the poor club owner— T he leads one terrible life. He has to go to Europe or Japan and Spend the winter and several thousand doliars trying to recover from the con- c@ntration of counting the receipts. ome club owners have been known to hire help to sort dividends. When al! eige fails he is forced to build a hun- dred thousand dollar grandstand to hide the profits. —— + gthe story of the White Sox-Browns series shows that the Browns stole but One base in three games, while the op- position pilfered eight. Is it necessary t@ make any comments on the result? Cravath makes it unnecessary for Comiskey to repine over the loss of Fielder Jones, at least on his perform- thus far. The gentleman bats, and runs bases just like some 4 : player we would like to see in St. Louis. Whe Cardinals are plainly a much- _ tmproved team. But the worst of it all at every other candidate for last

place in the National League is equally plainly impreved. W may utter about these 1-0 base- ball games and the beautiful contests they represent, the man with a rain check that stands for a 75-cent investment wants to see a game with action. It is in hitting contests that the best fielding, the best brains and the best pitching are required. For the players themselves, the close game is desirable. It saves energy and per- haps it requires more real baseball such as the public cannot see than the hitting games. But, after all, baseball is just an al fresco show, built for the spectators, and they are the ones to be pleased. Hitting, running, base stealing, errors, good plays, bad plays— all these make up the baseball game that is most enjoyable from a mere amusement standpeint. But then we have to pretend we're scientific and try to enjoy these one, two, three—side out! games. Batting Before Pitching. HATEVER the platitudes we As long as Roger’s men continue to bat the ball they can finish almost any- Where without losing popularity. The teams that we have trouble recenciling are those that are always hitting just a little bit below the chub they are play- ing against. Why, it’s almost four days, and no- body has been able to find Jeff's arti- cles of agreement with Johnson. But then parchment is so high, you know. Can anybody explain why they speak of Jeff's recent escapade as his “‘re- turn to the ring?’ About the time Jeff really decides he wants to really fight, some blithe young voice will be lisp- ing “Grandpa” in his ear. = - —— Bobby Byrne has figures to show that he was really on the job during the Pittsburg series, notwithstanding Roger had to throw the ball at him to wake him up Byrne hit .417 for the three games and fielded 1.000. No won- they want to have “Jap” Barbeau for Bobby. Byrne would sure- ly be a valuable man for the Pirates. He would let Tommy Leach slip back to the outfield, where he has long de- sired to serve. once. der let us Fred Clarke must fee] terribly lone- some surrounded as he is by all that minor league talent. W. Miller made the nice showing of .067 in batting for three games against the Cardinals, while the other gardener, Wilson, rose to the dizzy height of .1. Abstein and Lel- field, the Mound City members of the Pirates, hit a slashing percentage of 6. To tell the whole truth, however, Leifield hit .000 and Abstein .231. Mr. Reilly of the Cardinals leads the National League in batting. His aver- age is 1.000, and he went to bat once. Keep him on the bench, Roger, and o@ the season, you'll have one league leader at the ~“

On the other hand, the Detroit team is going at a lively clip just now, ‘and licked the White Sox and with such ferocity that fans up here can see it no other way than that the Tigers are sure to win another pen- nant. This morning on the streets and in several of the resorts, there were wagers made at oddg of 2 to 1 that the Tigers would win the game from we s EF 7 the Browns. That simply shows the 3 fervid enthusiasm that prevails h The public looks on Detroit as invin-— cible, and the players themselves have made good so often that they are al-. most invulnerable.
