MOTHER DESERTS ‘THREE BABIES I MANY PLACES The police are looking for Mrs. Andre Gongroff, 25 years old, who boarded ‘until Friday at 910 North Eighteenth Sireet. They want to return to Mrs. Gongroff her three babies, whom sne distributed about the city in as many different places Frida Mrs. Lillie Floyd, = GEN at the boarding house, says that about a week ago Mrs. Gongrott and her husband, Huber Gonvroff, had a quarre) and the husband went away. Friday night the police at the Carr Street Station received a call .to the horne of Mrs. Rudtholer, 1723'Carr street. ‘There a baby boy, 3 months old, was ‘turned over to them. Mrs. Rudtholer ‘said that a young woman had brought the baby there about noon, requesting that she keep it:a few hours while the mother was peice for work. Anothér In Disposed ‘of.

The revolver had been in a box on a shelf in the closet. The burglar is be- lieved to have been in the closet when Mrs. Leonard startled him. He had the revolver in his hand. The front windows admitted a faint light from the street. The electric light Mrs. Leonard turned on in the bath- reom partially illumined the bedroom. The burglar; in leaving the closet, passed around a bed and came face to face with the mirror. In light as dim as that in the room ‘he could not see the outlines of the mirror frame, and his own’ relfection looked to him like a man. advancing upon him. He dodged that ‘‘man” and: shot ‘“‘him’’ as re flew past. There was no. door or window un- locked and no evidence could be found that the burglar had forced his wav into the house. 1¢ police and the Haley family believe.that the intruder crept into the basement, watched his opportunity and slipped to the third fiodr, where there are one or two unoc- cupied rooms, waiting there until he thought it womld,be safe to: ventur> downstairs anf ransack the. house.

STRIKE OF 12.000 SEAMEN DECLARED ON GREAT LAKES Unionists Refuse to Ship on Any of 400 Boats of Lake Carriers’ Association.

CHICAGO, May 1.—The strike of labor unions on the Great Lakes against the Lake Carriers’ Association, or more cor- rectly, their formal refusal to ship on boats controlled by the association, was put into full operation today ‘at all ports. It is estimated that probably 12,000 seamen of all classes are involved jin the great struggle. Almost 3000 are now said to be em- ployed won boats controlled by the car- riers, and these men were scheduled to leave the vessels this morning if in port, or as soon as they arrived. ‘Thousands are {dle today in Chicago, Cleveland, Buffaio and other centers, but as a matter of fact the situation differs little trom that which has exist- ed since the opening of navigation. when the marine engineers refused to sign was inserted. The tie-up today is mere- ly made complete. General Officers to Come. The next move of the leaders will be to reguest the general officers of the Internationa! Seamen's Union to come to the lake district and indorse the strike. The general secretary ft the interna- tienal union, W. H. Frazier; is at East Boston, but will immediately get in touch with the situation. Frazier will probably join George Hansen, agent of the lake seamen, at Buffalo, and President Andrew Furuseth of San Francisce will come te Chicago. About four hundred. boats are con- trolled by the Lake Carriers’ Associa- tion, but it is impossible to say just how many employes will be affected, as many of the vessels are not yet in com- mission. Both sides are firm, talk of compromise. and there is no

WASHINGTON, May 1.—If C. Oliver Iselin of New York has settled $2,000,000 on his prospective son-in-law, Ferdinand Colleredo Mannsfeld, secre- tray of the Austrian Embassy at Rome, Count. Mannsfeld’ has not been told about it. He said so himself in the New Willard, where he is spending a few days before going to New Rochelle to marry Miss Nora Iselin May 10. “The report from Aiken, S. C., that a settlement of $2,000,000 has been made upon me by Mr. Iselin is absurd and without foundation,” said the Ceunt. “Money has never been discussed. A settlement was never expected, nor was one contemplated. Neither will one be made.”’ . , Count Mannsfeld.is over six feet tall and slightly stoop-shouldered. He ‘is very dark, with deep brewn eyes, and is clean shaven. He speaks English fluently, but with an accent, and he has a democratic manner. Doesn‘ t Know of Disapproval. The Count was shown a dispatch from New Yotk, stating that C. Oliver Iselin did not approve of his daughter’s con- templated alliance. “That is the first I have heard of it,” he said. When asked regarding his plane for the wedding he said: “Really, I know very little about the details as yet. In fact they have not been arranged. The attendants have not yet been selected, but all that will be arranged some time next week. I Count to New xechelle,.

ACQUITTED OF | Do MURDER CHARGE Jury Finds That Neosho Heir- ess Was Justified in Killing Roy Ramsour. WEPT DURING TRIAL Girl Congratulated by Her Friends After Verdict Is An- nounced to Large Crowd. NEOSHO, Mo., May 1.—Miss “Johnny” ‘Davidson, the young heiress on trial here charged with the murder of Roy Ramsour, her sister’s suitor, was acquit- ted this morning. Miss Davidson killed Ramsour June 6, 1908. She is a good-looking young wom- an and ts joint heiress with her sister to a $40,000 estate. The girl said she killed Ramsour because he refused to retract an epithet applied to her. Late last night it was undérstood tha‘ there would be no verdict in the David- son case before this morning, and the large crowd that had waited for several hours hoping for an early decision, de- parted. At an early hour this morning the crowd began to assemble again, and by 7:30 o'clock the courtroom was again ‘packed with people who waited impa- tiently for the verdict. Defendant Was Nervous. There was much whispering of opin- ions, and the idea seemed to prevail tha‘ it would be a hung jury. At 9 o'clock there was a knock at the jury room door, and the house immedi- ately became noticeably quiet. Sheriff Collier unlockéd the door, ane the jury filed into the jury-box. Miss Davidson, accompanied by her mother and two sisters, and Attorneys Clay and Ruark, sat by the table where they had sat during the entire trial. As the jury came in, ‘Johnnie’ gazed at thie men, pale and evidently eager to hear the Mecision, yet fearing what it would bé. After a .few preliminaries, the foreman arose and read the verdict which they had arrived at: ‘‘Not guilty.”’ Immediately there was an outburst of feelings in the court room. Friends of the deferidant flocked about her con- gratulating her on the outcome and al- ternately ‘crying and laughing. She was quickly escorted from the room to ua waiting carriage and was driven to her home. Cried During Trial. Yesterday Miss, Davidson showed the strain of the trial for thé first time. She broke down and cried, a& many other women in the court room did, when her atterney concluded his plea for her life. She also gave way to her feeling when the prosecutor condemned her as a “cold-blooded murderess.,”’ A dramatic scene marked the closing arguments when Mrs. Samuel Rey- nolds, aunt of the slain man, became wildly hysterical during the arguments of the prosecutor. She screamed aloud a demand that the defendant be con- victed and then collapsed completely. SELECTION OF PRESIDENT FOR

REALTY MEN PUT OFF A WEEK Gundlach Claims Election by One Vote, Blake Contends It Was a Tie. A president for the Real Esta Ex- change will not be chosen for week. This decision was reached Friday after- noon at a meeting of the directars who believed that peace in the organwation was of greater moment to its interests than the immediate settlement of the eontroversy raging between the respec- tive followers of James P. Blake and John Hi. Gundlach, candidates for that office. But this decision was not easily reached for it took two hours of spirited talking to settle the matter. Both Blake and Gundlach were before the board. Blake’s Supporters contended that the .election resulted in a tie, in which case the new board of directors were to choose between the candidates. Gundlach contended that he was elected by one vote. The board will meet again next Friday. “TELECON” DOCTOR PAYS $150 FINE AND QUITS MISSOURI Twenty-One Warrants Against Him Are Dismissed by Compro- mise With State. Prof. Gaines Austin Larson, who: got into trouble with the authorities be- cause he practiced his ‘“‘Teleconi” sys- tem of treating diseases in St. Louis, effected a compromise with the State Saturday. He appeared in the Court of Criminal Correction and told Judge Williams that he was willing to pay a fine of $10 and promise’ to discontinue his operations in Missouri. A jury one week ago fined him $20 for professing to be a physician. Later 21 additional warrants based on news- paper advertisements were issued against him. Under the terms of the agreement with the State, all of these warrants Were dismissed and the fine assessed by the jury was reduced to $150, which he- paid.

The State Supreme Court at Jeffer- son City, Saturday, issued a temporary order prohibiting Circuit Judge Will- iams from* proceeding further in the railroad rate litigation instituted by Circuit Attorney Jones at the request of Gov. Hadley. The order is made returnable May 15, when Judge Williams must show Cause why the writ should not: be made permanent., Application for the writ by counsel was made representing the Missouri Kan- sas & Texas and St. Louis Southwest- ern Railroad companies. - Gov. Hadley proceeded against the railroads through Circuit Attorney Jones when the roads, following Judge Mc-’ Pherson's decision, announced that the 3-cent passenger rate would be restored The present rate is 2 cents a mile. Following this action, the Burlington Chicago and Alton and Kansas City Southern announced a rate of 2% cents a mile. The other se refused to meet that rate. The St. Louis sedis’ were dis- missed against the roads which an- nounced the 2%-cent rate, as Judge Mc- Pherson held that to be reasonable and equitable in knocking out the 2-cent fare law. Hadley Expresses Surprise. JEFFERSON CITY, May 1.— Gov. Hadley said after the action of the court became known that the roads had made light of the St. Louis suit and he was surprised that they had seen fit. to invoke the aid of the Su- preme Court. He refused to discuss the court’s action, saying that only. tegal questions were involved. PATTEN'S FIRM TAKES 2,000,000 BUSHELS WHEAT May: Option Becomes Cash Actual Grain Is Deliv- ¢ ered in Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 1.—This was delivery day on the Board of Trade and the May option, which was the medium of the recent bull campaign led by James A. Patten, became cash wheat. On May contracts today 2,000,000 bush- als of wheat were delivered, practically all of it to Bartlett, Patten & Co. Brokers have hazarded a guess that Mr. Patten paid an average of $1.08 for his May wheat. Assuming this feature to be approximately correct, Mr. Pat- ten might have sold the wheat.delivered him this morning at $1.12 for delivery in July, which would show a profit of four cents a bushel. May wheat, how- ever, opened today at $1.24% to $1.24% and A good demand for actual wheat would enable the bull leader to sell at a much greater profit. While May 1 is commonly known as delivery day, sellers have until the end of the month to turn over the wheat which they have sold. Formerly only No. 2 red winter wheat could be de- livered on future contracts, but under a new rule of the board made two years ago, No. 2 spring wheat was made standard. A large quantity of this lat- ter, it is expected, will find its way down from the head of the lakes when navigation opens, thus swelling the amcunt in the Patten elevators. No. 2. red wheat is selling at $1.41% to $1.44% and No. 2 spring at $1.26. PASSENGERS BEGIN PAYING 9 1-2-CENT RAILROAD RATE Three . Systems Put Compromise Into Effect; Other Lines Con- tinue Litigation. Passengers journeying out of St. Louis over the Burlington, Chicago & Alton and Frisco-Rock Island lines paid 2% cents a mile Friday, The new comprom- ise rate, adopted (Voluntarily by the roads named, went into effect at mid- night. Several other roads—the Wabash, Mis- sour! Pacific, Iron Mountain, M. K. & T., Cotton Belt and Santa Fe—are ad- hering to the 2-cent rate as laid down in the Missouri law against which Judge McPherson rendered a decision. They will maintain that policy until litigation is disposed of, or until they adjust rates to harmonize with the lines that have adopted the 2%-cent basis. At points where the reads maintain- ing the 2-cent rate compete with those adopting the 2%-cent rate the com- petition will be met. Fares paid on trains will be at the rate of 3 cents a mile on all lines adopting the 2%-cent rate. BANK CASHIER I$ CONVICTED

LEAD MINERS? STRIKE SPREADS: 1700 ARE IDLE And 3000 More Threaten to Quit in Demand for Resto- ration of Scale. - BONNE TERRE, Mo., May 1.—The strike of lead miners in Leadwood spread to this place early today, when the underground employes of the St. Joe Lead Co. quit work. The big mills of the company here were forced to close and 1700 men are now idle.

They now ask that they be given $2 for eight hours’ work. One company at Desloge is said to have promised its employes the advance if other concerns agree to it. This con- cern employs 500 men. A $20,000,000 Concern, The Dee Run and Federal companies are facing possible strikes by their 2000 employes but the chances of ree adeseuncnd are thought to be good. | The St. Joe Lead company, against which the chief strike is dericted thus far, is capitalized for $20,000,000.

STOP WATCH CAMERA LATEST INVENTION WHEREBY. POLICE HOPE TO TRAP AUTO SPEEDERS Focus Made on. Two Points Course and Time of Each Impression Recorded. BOSTON, May 1.—A camera which, it is claimed, will revolutionize the meth- ods of the police in convicting auto- mobile speed violators, was a silent wit- ‘ness in the Roxbury Police Court. The camera is the invention of Porf. Daniel F. Comstock and Prof. Herbert F. Kal- mus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who appearec as witnesses and explained its workings. The camera is oblong, eight by seven by three inches. It contains two plate- holders, one above the other. with a stop watch between the two. When the automobile is a certain distance the up- per plate is exposed. This takes a pic- ture of the position of the automobile on the road and also records the face of the stop watch, showing just where the hand is at the second the picture is snapped. The camera is then turned at a certain angle up. the road. This also records the face of the stop watch, showing how much time has elapsed between the first and*second exposures. By mathematical calculation tlte exact distance traveled by the automobile is obtained. From this the speed of the automobile is ascertained.

EMBETILEMENT. CHARGE AGAINST LABORER-BANKER Konstantine Mitsareff of East Side Is Also. Accused of Forgery.

Konstantine A. Mitsareff, a Bulgarian merchant and banker at Granite City. appeared in court: at Edwardsville Sat- urday for a preliminary hearing on charges of embezzlement and forgery. The embezzlement charge is made by Stoyan Tegoff and four other Bulgar- fans and Macedonians of Ira, W. Va., who*allege that they sent Mitsareff $3000 in American money to be exchanged for French napoleons, and that the banker sent them only $600 in napoleons. Mit- sareff contends that he sent to New York for the napoleons, but: was forced into bankruptcy before he could get them. Mitsareff has been doing an exchange business for the Bulgarians and Mace- donian people throughout the country. Until five years ago he was a laborer. The forgery charge is based upon a letter addressed to Tegoff, and signed “For the Narodin Gras Publishing Co. Editor G. Zapuroff.’’ The editor and the banker uséd the same postoffice box. Purport of Letter. The: communication purports to be 4 reply to a letter to Tegoff to Zapur- off requesting that the editor advise the party of West Virginia Macedon- ians as to the standing of Mitsareff. It sets forth that Zapuroff personally vis- ited the bank, where Mitsareff showed him $20,000 in the safe and told him he was always ready to return the money paid for napoleons, ‘“‘but why should a company be made to lose when on the contrary their object is to gain,’”’ mean- fing that the banker should wait until ] he could get the napoleons from New York and then send the napoleons as requested, instead of returning the money. The letter goes on to Say: “Now let me personally give you my own opinion, inasmuch as I am in a newspaper in Granite City and have the acquaintance of all the Bulgarian mer- chants. ; “The Richest Bulgarian. “Here in Granite City saa éadison the richest man of all the Bulgarian merchants is Mr. Mitsareff. I visited some American merchants who know him well, on purpose, who told me that he had bought 28 reoming houses, and I' know myself that ne maintains two saloons, two groceries, one dry goods |store, bakery, bank, and besides he has two large houses of forty years each and every day earn more than $300. And as proof of that, I can assure you that last year, when the people were starving on account of the crisis, he supported 600 hungry Bulgarians and Macedoniang for fully six months. “From all that we may derive the conclusion. that Mr. Mitsareff is not the man who would wish te misappro- priate. other people’s money.”

York, Discusses the ‘Drew Question.” , ee

Finis E. Marshall, who used to be a St. Louis banker, but now lives in New York, added his quota to the discussion of the famous “Drew question” at the, annual directors’ banquet of the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition Co. at the Country Club Friday night. “One reason why your city is not more widely known,” he said, “is that the St. Louis ‘date line’ is so rarely seen in Eastern newspapers.’ * He urged that it should be the concern of business men and bankers that every interesting happening in St. Louis should be sent over the wire to other cities, and he called attention to the fact that quotations on St. Louis se- curities are not published in New York. | In response to this criticism, several of the directors called his attention to the fact that the stocks listed on the local stock exchange are held almost exclusively by St. Louisans and that their fluctuations would not be of direct interest to Easterners. “But their publication would show to. the world that you have a stock ¢x- change,” urged Mr. Marshall. ‘‘Quota- tions of stocks listed in Kansas City and many smaller places are quoted daily in the New York papers.”’ In an informal discussion after the banquet several directors favored a movement which might induce the large news-distributing agencies to give more publicity to St. Louis happenings. President Francis gnnounced that the Exposition Company has wiped out all of its obligations to the Federal Gov- ernment and that the claims of ths City of St. Louis will be satisfied wlien the company’s pledge to build a monu- ment to Thomas Jefferson in Forest Fark is fulfilled. He suggested that the report of the president of the company be published at a cost of $10,000 and that a copy of it be given to each holder of more than 10 shares of stock. The design for, a commemorative bronze tablet to be placed on the Art Museum building was exhibited. It will be 9% feet long and 4% feet wide. 4AThe Board of Directors ratified the Executive Committee’s agreement with the city to build the Jefferson monu- mént and urged that the work be done with all possible speed. . All of the officers and directors of the company were re-elected to serve until the next annual meeting. The directors’ meeting and a visit to the World’s Fair site were followed by the banquet.

WORLD'S WARS HAVE COST 15 BILLION LIVES Amazing Statistics Will Be Presented to National Peace Congress.

CHICAGO, May 1.—Amazing statistics will be presented to the National Peace Congress, which convenes here Monday, by Benjamin F. Trueblood, secretary of the American Peage Society. In a report compiled for distribution among the delegates, it is asserted that 15,000,000,000 persons have sacrificed their lives in wars since the beginning of authentic history. ‘This vast number of victims,’’ says Mr. Trueblood, “is about equal to all the people who have inhabited the globe for the last 600 years, allowing three generations to the century, and 650,000,000, the estimated population of the world at the, opening of the nineteenth century as the average population. 6,000,000 in Napoleon’s Wars. “The usual estimate of the numbé€r of men lost in war in the nineteenth cen- tury, including those who died of wounds and disease, places it &t 14,000,- 000. Of this number the gNapoleonic campaigns are responsible for about 6,- 000,000. Losses in the American Civil ‘War have been variously estimated at from 800,000 to 1,000,000-men. The brief war between Prussia, Austria and Italy in 1866, entailed a loss of 45,000 men.”’ Mr. Trueblood also gives figures, gov- erning the cost of war from a firiancial standpoint. Cost Staggering. “The figures,” he said, ‘‘are stagger- ing, and probably would be more so if they could be fully obtained. Only ap- proximate correctness is claimed for the following statements: “The Napoleonic campaigns, covering 19 years, COst $15,000,000,000; the British- American war, 1812-14, $300,000,000; the Crimean war, 1854 to 1856, $1,666,000,000; American Civil War, $13,000,000,000, and thé Prussian-Austrian war of 1866, $325,- The national debts of the world pow- ers, Mr. Trueblood estimates at $34,633,- 154,400. ‘The, significance of this vast sum, the interest on which is over $1,000,000,000' a year,” he says, ‘‘is that practically the whole is chargeable to war and mill- tarism.”’ Whole baby lobster, Julienne potatoes, 50c.

Pushes Younger Men Aside ‘and Is Lowered on Ladder to Water’s Surface.

BABY NEARLY DROWNED LT Grandfather, Exhausted, Drawn Up Holding Child in One Arm. Is

That love of a grandfather for his grandchild, believed by many to be even stronger than paternal love, caused Emory Dixon, 70 years old, of Upper Alton to perform a heroic feat when his 3-year-old grandson, Elmer Todd, fell into a well. Pushing aside six younger and stronger persons, who were eager to aid in rescuing the child, Dixon risked his own life to save that of the boy. Grandfather and grandchild are con- stant companions at the home of Wil- liam Todd, the boy’s father. Friday aft- ernoon Dixon was at work removing a weather-beaten brick ledge at the top of the well. Elmer ran to him, saying: “I’m going to help Granny.’’ Chile Pluuges Into Well. Before Dixon could ‘restrain him, the When he tried to straighten up with them, their weight overbalanced him and he fell headlong ihto the well, which was 36 feet deep and contained wat:r 19 feet deep. The grandfather heard the splash and looking over the edge of the well saw his grandchild struggling in the water. He frantically called for help. Six painters who were at work on the Todd residence ran to him, carrying a long ladder. “Keep back and we'll save him,” t.1e largest and strongest of the workmen said. Painters Shaken Off, Dixon seemed about to leap headlong into the well and when three of the painters tried to restrain him he shook them off. . “No, I'll go,” he cried. As the ladder was being lowered into the well Dixon leaped onto the lower rung and clung there. The painters let him down with the ladder until he was in reach of the surface of the water, 17 feet below the top of the well. Twice the boy sank. “When he came to the surface the second time he grasped the reugh stone inner wall with his hands and tried to holdgon. He had little strength left and he was just fall- ing back into the water when his grand- father grasped him by the hair and drew him clear of the surface. Too Exhausted to Climb, Clasping the child to his breast with his left arm, Dixon attempted to climb the ladder, but he was so exhausted that he could not continue his upward progress. The painters, with great care, lest- they should shake off the grandfather and his precious burden. withdrew the ladder from the well and landed Dixon and Elmer safe at the top. Saturday Elmer was playing about the yard, but the well top was securely bat- tened down: The child seemed none the worse for his experience. “Granny’s all right,’”’ he said, pat- ting the cheek of his dear old chum and playmate.

THE, PROPER TURRET

Future Warships Will Have Little but Armament Above Decks, He Thinks.

By Leased Wire From the New York BRereau of the Pest-Dispatch, | NEW YORK, May 1.—Lewis Nixon had before him this morning the plans of the new ‘battleships’ Delaware and North Dakota, which are to be fitted with the smallest possible amount of superstructure and with wire masts, an innovation in naval arcnitecture. Commenting ‘on the determination of the administration to apply the minimum superstructure plan and new-idea masts to all battleships now in commission, Mr. Nixon said:' “I am very glad to see that, just as I expected, the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Meyer, is not only proving a most excellent selection for this most im- portant post, but he has the necessary acumen to have developed a sense of perspective, something that it usually takes months for secretaries of the navy to develop, and in consequence he will not be stampeded every time a suggestion is made of some imagined defect. “The boats that I designed 19 years ago had a mast framed up of shapes, but in deference to prejudice I put a light plating around this framing. Idea Used on Oregon. ‘“‘Naturally, to follow naval develop- ment is second nature with me, and with most of the developments I am in hearty accord, but to some of the tur- ret and mast peculiarities I am strongly opposed. “I do not believe in the overhang- ing turret. I want to see the turret protected all around by the barbette and not subject to jamming by plates or beams displaced by shell fire. In the Oregon this idea was worked out and we intended to slope the front of the t-rret as much as possible and place balancing weight on the back. The exceeding of weight in severaf unnecessary particulars and, the rad- ical change of turret design made against my protests prevented the: car- rying out of a proper balancing and the absurd (from a fighting standpoint) type of so-called overhanging’ balanced turret is now in all navies. “Of course, every effort should be made to reduce unnecessary top hamper that may cause a shell to explode with- in the vessel, but the health and stam- ina of the crew mean much and in be fully protected by armor. ‘Doesn’t Favor Mast ' “Now as to maste—aertniaar no one will think I have any axes to grind, as I am not building battleships, but I am convinced that a modern battle- ship should not have masts. They are needless, liable to be carried away when most: needed. “The future battleships will be mast- less, will have very low funnels or none at all, will be smokeless and sparkless and nothing niuch will be seen above deck except the turrets and guns. ‘‘However, in spite of all criticism, I am satisfied that our battleships as now desjgned _ are the best battleships in the world, though personally I like wing turrets to secure preponderance of forward fire, but this is a matter of opinion to be determined by actual battle.”’

TRAINED. "APPRENTICES

If They. Proved ‘Efficient ‘He ~ Recommended' Them for Licenses.. ° ore By Leased Wire From the New York | , Bureau of tle ‘Post- room of a hotel to a professorship in a university is a step few men have tak- en, but this is what has ned to J. C..Jurgensen, who has quit his job at the Hotel St. Regis to take the chair of engineering plant instruction at Colum- bia. He will begin his duties next fall on his return from a visit to his native home, Copenhagen. For,’ seven and a half years Jurgen- sen has been connected with the en- gineering department of hotels and for five years he has had charge of the en- gine, dynamo and. boiler rooms at the St. Regis Hotel. There Jurgensen trained apprentices, after the European fashion, compelling embryo engineers to work two years and at the end of that period to sign a contract for four years more as machinery operators. At the end of the fifth year he gave those who proved efficient, certificates as op- erating engineers, and recommending them to police headquarters for licenses. Ofter From Dr. Rutler, ° These rules he. established were brought to the attention of: the govgrn- ing board of Columbia, and. Dr. Nicholas Murray Buytler, after investigating the results obtained by Jurgensen with his half-hundred apprentices at the St. Regis, offered him the ness of gn adherens at Columbia. Urged ‘to talk, the chief engineer. se id: “I am going to Columbia at ig s0- licitation of the trustees to start and conduct classes in’ plant -management. It is a new branch of practical study. room of the college and get accustomed practical engineering. It won't be mere book lore. They can learn from. books at their leisure. what. rudimentary knowledge they desire. It will he real work with shovel at the furnaces and Certifientes to Only Twa, engineers. In six years I have given’ certificates to only two men out of a class of 16 apprentices. “The engineer of the future has to be different from the one met with to- day,” said Jurgensen. “‘The need of bet- ter men in plants in New York is plain- ly seen every day. There is a great deal of money to be saved, especially in coal bills. When a man can save 2 per cent of coal consumption that av- erages, in a hotel like this, 2 tons a day, he is worth all he is paid. ‘‘We have come to the question of economical engineering, and it can be accomplished through apprenticeship, education and co-operation between. en- gineer and employer. Inefficiency in the engine room causes loss, and the only remedy is proper education. I hope to obtain the desired results at Co)umbia.”’ Elevator Boy’s High Finance.

There are some men in this city who make a big roar about their philanthropy and at the same time only paying their help (women) $6 per week! Think of it! How is a woman to live respectably on such a small salary? It takes $4 at least to pay her board or buy her own food and pay room rent, @ cents Der week for carfare, so she has $1.40 left (if she is able to work all week) for clothing, insurance, doctor bills, amusements, etc. It takes as much and more to keep a woman than a man because the prices on everything she wears are advancing to an unreason- able degree. So how can she live respectably on such a stipend as $6'or $7 per week? A.

The Tent Nickelodeons. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I see that the Building Commissioner wants to put the moving picture shows conducted in tents out of business. Any sensible person knows that tents are safer than buildings, because the picture machine is about five feet away from the tent on the outside. Ask anyone where they would rather be in case of fire—in a house or tent? Why, a person can lift up the tent all around and get out. That bill would make Mr. Smith a czar and he might tell us he has the whip hand. SQUARE DEAL. Why Women Work.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The finest women I know are women who have have been working in offices, at least four years, and earning from $65 to $90 per month, and not one but has admitted she would rather have a home and husband than be “‘independent.’’ Not one, to my absolute knowledge, is working for the mere pleas- ure of wearing good clothes. If the general public only knew the sacrifices made by these dear women —taking care of a delicate sister and her two chil- dren, because the husband and: father has failed in his duty to them: supporting a mother or aged father, younger brothers and sisters—these are some of the reasons why women are working in offices, ete. There is somehing radically wrong somewhere, but the fault is n@® with phe women. I have studied this subject for the past four years (having been @ bookkeeper and stenographer for over Six years) and know whereof I speak: In my own experience I have known but one man (and he stands Out very conspicuously in my mind) who was a perfect gen- tleman. This, I think, is one reason why women are obliged to work. Rather than tose their self- respect by marrying a man that they cannot re- spect, they remain single. I call to mind at Jeast a dozen working (so-called independent) women of thy acquaintance who would make ideal wives, but to save my life I can't think of half a dozen men who would make ideal husbands. FROM MISSOURL “Gratiot Wants Dogcatchers.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In the district south of Arsenal street and west of Ivanhoe avenue lfundreds of unlicensed dogs roam at will in packs of from ten to twenty. Last year these dogs, with their depredations, were a nuisance; this year they are a positive menace to livestock and to persons. But a few weeks ago a Pack Oi about twenty broke into a neighbor's chicken yard and killed about twenty-eight chickens. I beg the city officials to send the dogcatchers to this district. Not in over two years have they been out here; ]ast year the got as far as Clifton Heights, where they caught 75 dogs. GRATIOT. “The: Little Red Schoolhouse.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Many ‘people are asking from wheace comes this demand for “prohibition” that is sweeping over our republic like a consuming fire? Is it made by the “Wouien’s Christian Temperance Union’? No. But they are doing a great work. God biess them! Is it the combined work of the churches of this country that is fanning the flames so, vigorously? No. But the churches are a great help and are doing valiant service for the cause. Then what is the magic back of this great reform? It is a force mighty! Greater than these, than all of these, a power that no man will dare to raise his voice against. It is the “Little Red Schoolhouse’”’ at the forks of the roads that is writing finale to the liquor traffic in this country ef ours. ‘ CITIZEN. Electrification at Terminals. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “ A bill to be known as Senate Bill Ne. 388 hag just been presented to the Illinois Legislature for enact- ment into !aw. The bill reads as follows: ‘To pro- vide for and change the location, grade and crossings of any railroad and prescribe by ordinance the mo- tive power with which Cars and trains of any rall- road may be operated within the limits of such city or village and change the same at any time when- ‘ever in their judgment such change is necessary.” Independent of any other phase of the question of electrification of the railroad terminals, the element of danger to the thousands of operatives is of vita importance. There are approximately 1000 men en- gaged in switching cars in this district and doubie that number of freight trainmen who enter and leave the city through the maze of tracks whose safety will be our concern, as it is apparent that it has been overlooked by every other interest. During the year ending June 30, 1908, 1089 trainmen and switch- men were killed and 18,676 were injured in the rall- way yards of-the United States, and Illinois supplied its portion of this appalling result. Isn't this record enough without adding to it other forms of danger? Isn't death in the railroad yards already sufficiently varied in form and shocking without adding the hor- rors of electrocution? There is not a freight termi- ‘nal ip the world operated by electricity and no prac- tical comparison can be made between a freight termirial’ and a passenger terminal. The object of electrification is te do away with the so-called smoke nuisance, which, of course, is commendable, but _the public ought not to demand the esthetic at the ex- ing class of its citizens, and more especially when possibitity. ‘The members of the Brotherhood of Rall- ge vf Roane and prey, that the -epresentativ

GET OUT THE OLD LAWN MOWER, ET out the old lawn mower, and oil its wheels and springs— G It’s likely that the neighbors have forgotten how it sings. They doubtless long to hear it as it used to sing of old— Squeak—squeak—squeak! when the East was turning gold. Nqueak—squeak—squeak! like an old Homeric rhyme— They must have missed it terribly in the silent wintertime. The lilac bush is blooming, and the frog is in his haunt— But the neighbors haven’t noticed— it’s the mower that they want. They want to hear its clatter at the breaking of the day— Squeak—squeak—squeak! in the damp and fragrant hay. Squeak—squeak—squeak! through the gossamer of dawn— They must have mourned it dismally when the snow was on the lawn, The bedroom window’s open, and the neighbors pound their ears— They dream they hear the mower when Aurora reappears. , They’re smiling on the pillow in a state of perfect bliss— Squeak—squeak—squeak! in the day’s soft Genesis. Squeak—squeak—squeak! in a wonderful refrain— ‘| And they never will be happy till they get it back again.

APPEAL TO SPORTSMANSHIP. If, as many of us hope, the spirit of sportsmanship is to preside over the war between the Wets and the. Drys, there will be very little objection among the latter to the proposition that, if they win, the entire State will go dry, while, if.the Wets win, the whole State will go wet. This means to the Drys staking on the outcome of the campaign some sev- enty odd counties already dry, and not election; but, as the Wet who makes this proposals points our, if a majority vote in the State is to send the whole State dry, it is equally logical that a majority vote should make the whole State wet. There are some practicable exceptions, but what’is logical is usual- The mass of the people will decide whether we are to look on the wine when it is red or the well bucket when it is brimming. The cranks. of neither the one side nor the other will have anything to do with it. About equally numerous, they will only kill each oth- er’s votes, leaving the decisive ballots to be cast by the great body of look- ers-on. The mass of the people are largely governed by the ethics of sport. They despige an advantage. If the Drys make their fight upon a proposition by which the Wets shall have everything to lose and nothing to gain, they will be routed. Upon the other hand, if the Wets force an issue by which the Drys shall have everything to lose and nothing to gain, they will be routed. Anyway, we want to remain good- natured, which is the first ethic of sport. Whether we vote dry or wet, we shall all be left here together, and we want to dwell in amity, as good Mis- sourians should.

He will slay the hippo, hog-tie the wildebeest, and clinch with the gorilla and break his back.’’ | He snapped his fingers and a hearse growl issued from the depths of - the tent. “But, friends,” he resumed, “let us all bope that in the course of his tray- els he will not engounter that terrible creature which languishes here in its cruel chains. Let us all hope that seme fine morning, when the bees are dron- ing and the pink flamingoes are mak- ing roseate the shore line of Victoria Nyanza, he will not come upon this nameless behemoth of the brooding wild bathing in the shade of some beautiful cove.

a SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. Supt. McCloud discharges Wrecking Fore- man Murray Sinclair for looting a wreck. All the men quit with Sinclair and go with him ‘to his ranch Many disasters befall the division which are ascribed to outigws. President Bucks sends Whiaperia Smith into the country with a free hand to clean out the outlaws. cCleud boards with Marion Sin- clair (Murray’s neglected wife), who is, a milliner at Medicine Bend. Whispering Smith is in loye with Marion. McClo love with Dicksle Dunning, who, with h cousin, owns a ranch in the Crawling Spring Valley. The Dunnings believe Sinclair has the troubles on the division to MeCioud’s In- competence. McCloud undertakes to build a line of railroad into the Crawling Spring Valley. He quarrels with Lance Dunning Smith. identifies him as Du pe os an- associate of Sinclair, and runs him out of town.. During a flood in the Crawling Stgne. which threat- ens the Dunning ranch, cCloud . renders services which win him the Dunnings’ friend- ship. An express car is robbed of 7,000 and messenger kilied at Tower W. Whisper- ing Smith and party trail the robbers into the mountains, discovering finally that they have taken refuge in Williams Cache, en outlaw rendezvous. Chapter XXVII, Continued The Fight in the Cache. OLDING their horses to a slow walk, the two parties gingerly approached each other. When the Cache riders halted the railroad riders halted; and when the three rode the five rode; but the three rode with absolute alignment and acted as one, while Whispering Smith had trouble in holding his men back until the two lines were 50 feet apart. By this time the youngest of the cowboys had steadied and was think- ing hard. Whispering Smith halted. In perfect order and sitting their horges as if they were riding parade, the horses ambling at a snail's pace the Cache riders advanced in the sun- shine tike one naan. When Du Sang and his companions reined up, less than 12 feet separated the two lines. In his tah shirt. Du Sang, with his yellow hair, tis white eyelashes, and his narrow face, was the least im- pressive of the three men. Seagrue rode on the right, his florid blood showing under the tan on his neck and arms. He spoke to the cowboys from the ranch, and on the left the young fellow Karg. with e broken nose, blackeyed and alert, fiooked the men over in front of him ‘and nodded to Dancing. Du Sang and his com- panions wore’ short-armed shirts; rifles were slung at their pommels, bards. Whispering Smith, in his dusty suit of khaki. was the only man in either line who showed no revolver, but a hammerles# or muley Savage rifle hung beside his pommel. When ne: ny hs are spoke first; 1 of you fellows round-up?" s heading this “IT am heading the round-up,” said Whispering Smith. “Why? Have we got some of your cattle?’ The two nen spoke as quietly as school-teachers. Whispering Smith’s expression in no way changed, ex- cept that as he spoke he lifted his eyebrows a little more than usual, went on: “What kind of a way is this to treat anybody?’ To ride into a valley like this and drive a man’s cows away from his door without no- tice Or papers? Is your name Smith?” My name is Smith: yours is Du Sang. Yes, I'll tell you, Du Sang. I carry an inspector’s card from the Mountain Stock Association—do you want to see it? When we get these cattle to the Door, any man in the Cache may come forward and prove his property.

His Revolver ‘Dropped to the Ground for the last time; you've ridden down it too many times already. This round-up is especially for you. Don't Geceive yourself; when you ride with me out of. the Cache, you won't come back.” Du Sang laughed, but his blinking eyes were as steady as a cat's. It did not escape Whispering Smith's notice that the mettlesome horses ridden by the outlaws were continually working around to the right of his party. He spoke nano to Karg: “If you can’t manage that horse, Karg, I can., Play fair. It looks to me as if you and Du and leave George Seagrue to shoot his way through alone.” ‘Du Sang, with some annoyance, in- tervened: “That's all right; Ill go with you. I'd rather see your papers, ‘but if you're Whispering Smith it's all right. I'm due to shoot-out a little game some time with you at Medicine Bend, anyway.” “Any time, Du Sang; only don't let your hand wabble next time. It’s too ciose to your gun now to pull right.” “Weill, I told. you I was going to mie, didn't 1? And I'm coming— With the last word he whipped out his gun. There was a crash of bul- lets. Questioned once by McCloud and reproached for taking chances, Whisp?2ring Smith answered simply: “I have to take chances,” he said. “All I ask is an even break.”’ But Kennedy had said there was no such thing as an even break with Whispering Smith. A few men in a generation amuse, baffle, and mystify other men with an art based on the prpecee that the action of the hand s quicker than. the action of the eye. With Whispering Smith the drawing of a revolver and the art of throwing his shots instantly from wherever his hand rested was pure slight-of-hand. To a dexterity so fatal he added a judgment that had not failed when confronted with deceit. From the moment that Du Sang first spoke, Smith, conviaced that he meant to shoot his way through the line, waited only for the moment to come. When Du Sang’s hand moved like a flash of light, Whispering Smith, who was holding his coat lapels in his hands, struck his pistol from the scabbard over his heart and threw a bullet at him before he could fire, as a con- jurer throws a vanishing coin into the air.

He threw his bul- lets: as best he could, first over one shoulder and then- the other, and used the last cartridge in his revolvey with Du Sang, Seagrue and Karg . shooting at him every time they could fire with- out hitting one another: It was not the first time the Wiliams Cache gang had sworn to get’ him, and had worked together to do it, but for the first time it looked as if they might do it. A single chance was left to Whispering Smith for his life, and with his coat slashed with bullets, he took it. For.an- instant: his life hung.on the success of a trick so appallingly awk- ward that a clever man might have oe in turning it.. If -his rifle should play free in the scabbard as he reached for it, he could fall to the ground, re- leasing it as he plunged from the sad- dle, and make a fight.on his feet. If the rifle failed.to release, he was a dead man. To.s0 narrow an issue are the cleverest combinations sometimes brought by chance. He dropped his empty revolver, ducked like a mudhen on his horse’s neck, threw. back his leg, and, with all the precision he could summon, caught the grip of his muley in both hand. He made his fall heavily to the ground, landing on his shoulder. But as he keeled from the saddle, the last thing that rolled over the saddle, like the flash of a porpoise fin, was the barrel of the rifle, secure in his hands. Karg, on horseback, was already bend- ing over him, revolver in hand, but the shot was never fired. <A 30-30 bullet from the ground knocked the gun into the air and tore every knuckle. fram Karg, on horseback, was already bend- the right. A: rifle stug like an ax at the root caught him through the naid- die. His fingers stiffened. His six- shooter fell to the ground: and he clutched his side. Seagrue, ducking low, put spurs to his horse, and Whispering Smith, covered. with dust, rose on. the battlefield alone. , Hats, revolvers and coats lay fbout him. Face downward, the huge bulk of Bill Dancing was stretched: motionless in the road. Karg, crouching beside his fallen borse, held up the bloody stump of his gun hand, and Du Sang, 50 yards awuy, reeling like a drunken man [n his saddle, *spurred his. horse in an aimless circle. Whispering Smith, running soft- ly to the side of his own trembling eani- mal, threw himself into the saddle, and, avery his rifle sights as the begst plunged down the draw, gave chase to Seagrue. . CHAPTER XXVIII. The Death of Du Sang. VV Tsorse ios SMITH, with his horse in a.lather, rode slowly back 2 minutes later with Sea- grue, disarmed, ahead of him. The de- serted battleground was alive with men. Stormy Gorman, hot for bteod, had come pack, caplured Karg, and be- listened with amiable surprise while he explained that seeing Dancing killed, and not being able to tell from Whis- pering Smith’s peculiar tactics which side he wes shooting at. Gorman and his compahions had gone for help, While they angrily surrounded.

A sec- for water, and from a canteen drenched the pallid forehead, talking softly mean- while; but his efforts ta@ restore ‘con- sciousness were unavailing. He turned Karg to the ground and three = had their old comrade Séagrue in. hand, While two held huge revolvers within six inches of his head, a third was ad- justing a rope knot under his ear. “Hold on!"’ he said, mildly. ‘‘what is loose? What are you going to do?’ ‘We're going to hang these fellows,’’ answered Stormy, with a volley of hair- raising imprecations. “Oh, no! under guard.’’ “That's what we’re going to do,’ ex- claimed the foreman. ‘“‘Only we're go- ing to run *em over to those cottonwoods and’ drive the horses out from. under ‘em. Stand atill, you tow-headed cow thief!’ he cried; slipping the noose up tight on George Seagrues néck. “See here.” returned Whispering Smith, showing some annoyance, ‘‘you may be joking, but I-am not.

H. M. Paine, manager of the Peper Automobile Co., returned Friday from a business trip to the Overland Motor Car Co.'s factory at Indianapolis, where he helped to load a carload of Over- lands for his company, to be delivered to anxious St. Louis purchasers. He says that there were 25 agents there from all over the country, urging im- mediate shipments of their cars. The company has already built more cars than they had allotted to the factory for this year, but are now building all

This car has many new features. Mr. Dyke will be able to secure only a few for St. Louis, owing to the heavy demand made upon the factory for the car. He has already sold ave of his allotment. The Moon Motor Car Co. ‘eas in the past been content with the business se- cured on the Pacific Coast and in the North and East, but they are now reaching out for Southern business.

Cobb Takes Back His

_ Goat From Lou Criger ‘DETROIT, Mich., April 30. Y COBB has got his goat back T again. He jerked the strings out of Lou Criger’s hands yesterday in the first game of the year between the Browns and Tigers and walked off the field leading the omen of ill luck that the great St. Louis’ backstop claimed to have captured and tied. Cobb stole second base on Criger the very first time he got a chance, just as hea declared through the press that he would when he ‘earned that Criger had made public in the same way that he had the goat of the Tiger batter tied up. The little affair took place in the fifth inning of the game yesterday. The fans were all aware of the situation and had been making life miserable for C”iger all the time. The first two times Cobb went to bat he failec to get on the bases. The third time up he bound- ed a slow one to deep short and beat it for a single. it was a heavy ground and hardly the proper play to attempt 1 steal right away. Criger up the first chance he had and here was his chance. He got a big lead on Graham, who is slow in his windup, and with the first ball he was off for second like a shot. Criger lost no time, but lined the ball down with all his might. rossibly he hurried a bit too much because he had the ball there in plenty of time to cut the De- troit speed worder by six feet, but the nall went on the wrong side’ of the bag and before Williams could swing areund and tag the runner he had slid under and the umpire pronounced him safe. It looked iike a close play at that and might have been called either way. But the official favored the runner and the crowd arose in a body and hooted and jeered at Criger for a full minute. On the next ball pitched Cobb dashed for third, but the batter hit the ball and made the tnird out, thus sav- ing a probable mixup at third base, be- cause there is vad blood between Cobb and Ferris and the first time they come together there !s likely to be “epee work for Ban Johnson.

But Cobb had declared he would show

Young Rector, who ifs training at the University of Virginia, forwarded a copy of the letter here from Walker.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS IN BRIEF. CHICAGO, May Fee ye Oy og ae | the fact that more than 2 wheat were delivered teeny. on May contracts, the market was strong early in the day, owing to the brisk demand by commission houses. Nearly all of the cash grain was taken by the leader of the bulls. which accounted for the failure of the market to respond to the enormous deliveries. Cables were strong and weather in the ab patna was stil) unfavorable for se me: At the opening prices were to i4e above ear slaty to clon baat and vanced. to $1. ay There was considerable selling of the eeant deliveries late in the session, ing to $1.11%.

Nervousness, was again the most patent feature of the local wheat market, being rivaled in Sempeeueyennes only by dullness and a general ton of uninterestednes3 among the pit operators. Trading was light and professionally there were no » BON bo0 bu ly lively developments. About wheat was delivered on May eaves in Chicago this morning, but none of the shorts in the local market ‘‘came, clean’’ with ac- tual wheat to settle, options. This en- hanced the bullish strictiviucks of the un- seasonable weather and\ prices moved larg - ly upward early in the aay. Long ee caused prices to ease off from. the points subsequently. but part of the alka were maintained. The close was %c to %c higher for the day on the active options. Longs got out of their .wes in a@ very general manner in the latter part of the previous day’s session and a_ considerable short interest was created. This left the market without much inherent pressure and in a technically firm position at this morn- ing’s start. Extremely cold weather contin- ues throughoyt the Northwest and Can- ada and extending over a large part of the winter wheat belt. Storms and snows ac- company the low temperatures in many sec- tions and conditions are ne unfavorable both for seeding ne ~ shaggy eat crop and for any progress s nowth of winter wheat. Receipts ware neein light and stocks showed further decreases. Shorts started a ceneral covering movement at the opening. They were influenced by the 4d advance at Liverpool, which was considered a fuir resporse, the unfavorable weather, smalj movement and continued strong cash demand. Winnipeg early in the day reported a good inquiry for all grades and a ready absorp- tion of the light arivais was general at most points. The Northwest continues to report good irterest in the flour business. Prices ranged steadily upward early in the day. The advances were not attended by any excitement, prices simply rising on the absence of offerings and a scattered demand. When the high points were reached longs sold for their’ profits in a general manner. and prices receded steadily, but toward the latter part of the ere session fractional ins were still show ay wheat wae inactive and was bid for ; 114, uly tec to lac higher at $1.08% to $1.08%. ad- vanéed $1.08% @1.08%. and declined to $1.07T%. “astamiGar wheat o ane ‘ec high- er at $1.03, advanced to §1. and was offered down to $1.02%. The late trading was fairly active and a nervous tone prevailed. Strength was gen- eral abroad’ and was based mainly on the smaller exports from America, light offerings from India and a reported decrease in the acreage of Canada. The local pit, however, was the scene of considerable long liquida- tion, traders being influenced toward this course by expectations that Monday’s sta- ll not be so bullish and that the weather in the Northwest will be moderated by then. For some time prior to the close prices ruled rather easy at only small net gains. There was some eleventh-hour buying. how- ever, and the market Closed in a well-sup- rted position. May wheat had bids at ete at the close. July wheat tlosed at 1.081, bidSand September wheat at $1.02% bid. Cash wheat ruled strong.

Az a recent meeting of an Associa- tion of Analytical Chemists the sub- ject turned upon the purity of the proprietary. tooth powders as the most common form of dentifrice used in this country, and the use of powdered pumice stone in their composition. it was decided to test one of the powders for pumice stone, and the dentifrice chosen for the test was one that is used not only in this country, but in almost every part of the world, Lyon’s Perfect Tooth Pow-

der. The demonstrator took two ordinary drinking glasses, and filled each with a ten per cent solution of hydrochloric acid. Into one he poured a teaspoon- ful of Dr. Lyon's Perfect Tooth Pow- der, and into the other an. equal quantity of powdered pumice stone, The tooth powder dissolved almost immediately, while in the other glass the pumice stone sank to the bottom and remained undissolved. This proved to the members of the associa- tion the absolute purity of the tooth powder and its freedom from gritty and paraiesa wi stahorecnen et eee LATIN-AMERICAN CLUB GIVES ITS SEMI-ANNUAL DINNER Mayor Kreismann and Consular Representatives Are Guests of Honor.

Brown and Tige Buster Author of Phrase Used in St. Louis Says Signs Here Won’t Change. a.

St. Louis educators are in competi- tion for the $10 revard offered by the Alton Gas Co. to anyone who will set- tie the question: Do we cook with gas, or do we cook by «gas? As told in Friday’s Post-Dispatch, the issue was raised when the company put up signs reading: COOK BY GAS. : Many Altonites protested that this was wrong and that the form should be the same as that used by the La- clede Gas Light Co., which has em- bldzoned St. Louis with the command: COOK WITH GAS. It would ‘seem to be an @asy matter to settle which expression is gram- matically correct. That’s what a jour- nalistic investigator thought when he wig-wagged queries to some of the high- est brows in St. Leuis. Educators Called On. “Well, now, let me see,” said Princi- pal Curtis of the Central High School. “That is a question I can’t settle off- hand. You'll have to give me time to look up authorities. I'll let you know iater.”’ Meanwhile \Principal Powell of the Yeatman High School had been sig- naled. He started 10 seconds after Prof. Curtis, but he came under the vire first in the great gaso-lingual Marathon. “T have consulted references,” said Prof. Powell, ‘‘and I can say witheut hesitation that ‘with’ ts preferable to ‘by’ in this connection;’ meaning, of course, the gas connection. ‘‘My reason for this,’» he continued, “is based on notes in Webster’s International Dic- tionary under the words in question. Back to the dictionary went the inves- tigator. Under the word “with” he found this note: “With and by are closely allied in many of their uses, and it is not easy to lay down a rule by which to distin- guish their uses. See note to Dy.” Gas as an Instrument, Turning back 133 pages or so, he came to this: ‘With is used instead of by before ‘he instrument with which anything is done.”’ That clinched it. Clearly Prof. Powell regards gas as an instrument—like a pair of brass knuckles or something qually handy in separating one from his money. There seemed to be no further argu- ment. Prof. Powell seemed to ~have proved that “‘with’’ was the right word, and that seemed to be conclusive. But just then signals were sighted in the offing. Prof. Curtis was anxious to report. ~ “T find,” he said, ‘“‘that ‘cook by gas’ is unquestionably right. Used in this sense the word ‘by’ is an adverb of means while the word ‘with’ is an ad- verb of accompaniment. That makes it clear, doesn’t it? You see, you use gas as the means BY which you cook. And you use salt as the substance WITH which vou cook potatoes, for instance. By is right, and with is wrong.”’’ “With,” Says Missa Brooks. Next came a nice, lady-like signal Miss E. F. Brooks, teacher of English in the Berlitz School of Lan- guages. 3 “T am looking up that gas question, and I'll let you xnow about it in a little while,’’ she said. Her final decision was emphatic. “T find,’ she said, ‘“‘that ‘with’ is AB- SOLUTELY CORRECT. I have looked it up in a scientific dictionary and this rule is my authority: ‘With frequently takes the place of by when it refers to the instrument with which somebody does something.’ Principal Morrison of. the McKinley High School was impatiently waiting on the line. When he could get his message through, he said: “I should say that ‘cook with gas’ 8 the correct expression. Those who pre- fer ‘cook by gas’ may justify thein- selves by saying that the expression is a shortening of the term ‘cook by (means of) gas.’ That, I suppose, would pe rather an awkward phrase to put on advertising signs.” Author Won’t Change Sign. It was Vice-President Holman of the Laclede Gas Light Co., who originated the signs: “‘Cook with gas.”’ “T never looked up the grammar, an¢d I couldn’t say which is correct,’’ sald Mr. Holman. “It ts a very interesting point, though. and I will consult author- ities. You may say that, whether W® are right or not, we will not change our signs.”’

~INVESTIGATION] = Kreismann Asks Committee to Take Up Complaint of . Manufacturers,

HE WILL BE ACTIVE

Abolition of Grade Crossing ‘Will Be Undertaken by Joint Commission.

Mayor Kreismann, under the plan adopted for a conference committee of the Municipal Assembly, will have a larger part in the legislation of ihe city ordinances. The first work of the con- ference committee under his direction will be the consideration of the readjust- ment of water rates. Saturday Mayor Kreismann, a‘ the re- quest of the manufacturers, asked the committee to investigate the complaint of the manufacturers that the rates they were compelled to pay were too high. They want a reduction. St. Louis manufacturers have been before the Municipal Assembly for the last six or eight years with similar re- quests, and five years ago they suc- ceeded in trimming the rates down from 12 to 8 cents per 1009 gations for a large consumption of water. Water costs 25 cents for-a single 1000 gallons in small quantities, but the rate is based on “« sliding scale of quantities. In the current session of the Assembly conference committees, representing th« House of Delegates and the Council will have the active assistance of Mayor Isreismann and the heads of depart- ments in framing and passing ordi- nances, contemplating public improve- ments and expenditures arfd the initia- tion of administrative policies. This departure was advocated by Mayor Kriesmann in his inaugural ad- dress. It will be attempted in the ap- pointment of a commission of experts to undertake the abolition of grade crossings. Commiitees to Be Named. Acting for the Council will be E. Vi P. ‘Schneiderhahn, chairman of tng Ways and Means Committee; Willia Schutz, chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements, and F. A. Drew, chairman of the Railroads Committee. The conferees of the House of— Dele- gates are J. C. Taussig, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, E. A. Hildenbrandt, chairman of the Public | Improvements Committee, and Moritz Koch, member of the Ways and Means Committee. Most of the important legislation likely to be considered by either branch of the Municipal Assembly will be such as will naturally be referred to Bills contemplating appropriations go to the Ways and Means Committee; measures authorizing public works anc the granting of franchises will be in the hands of the Public Improvements Com- mittee, and all propositions for the in- crease of terminal facilities and the reg- ulation of railroads will come before the Railroads Committee. .

Mayor Wells especially kept aloof from such relations with the _ legislators, holding that the Mayor’s interest in such matters would be an interference of the executive with the legislative branch of the municipal government. Mayor Kreismann and members of the present Assembly believe that much time may be saved by reconciling his objections to ordinances in advance of their passage and-probable disapproval.
