Stenographer Held Revolver Firmly Against Forehead and Pulled Trigger.

A cushion of.air that saved her life was formed by the pressure of the weap- on against her forehead when Miss Mary H. Geiger, a stenographer, 28 years old, tried to commit suicide by shooting her- self with a revolver in the basement of her home, 4700 McMillan av enue, at 7 a. m. Monday. The muzzle of the revolver was pushed against the middle of her forehead just below the line of the hair. Miss Geiger against her of the weapon, driven forward when she exploded the cartridge, checked thé bul- let and it did not enter the head. Bullet Flattened by Bone. The bullet was found against the bone. It was flattened to the shape of a 6-cent piece. Miss Geiger was ren- dered unconscious by the shock. It is believed that she will recover. At the Mayfield Sanitarium, ‘Taylor avenue and Suburban tracks, where she was taken after the shooting, it was said that no operation had been per- formed because in her present condition it could not- be judged whether an oper- ation was needed. ‘It is a case that will require very careful watching,’’ a reporter was told at the sanitarium, ‘“‘but the decision of consulting surgeons was to postpone an operation. The danger, if any, wil' be possible cerebral inflammation caused by a depression of the skull bone against the brain.’’ - The family say no reason other than ill health can be given for her desire to die.

“|CABANNE WINS DIVORCE, WIT SON'S CUSTODY Father Who Returned With Kidnaped Boy Obtains De- cree in 20 Minutes. TELLSOF BRANDENBURG Entertained Writer at Home Before Learning State of Affairs. His WIFE CAN MARRY NOW

Mrs. Barndenburg’s Suit, Nam- ing Mrs. Cabanne, Enlight- ened Latter’s Husband.

James Shepard Cabanne Jr., who has just returned from San Francisco with his son, lately abducted by Broughton Brandenburg, obtained a divorce in Judge Grimm's court Monday. Bhe de- cree was granted on the ground of de- sertion, and the custody of the boy, James Shepard Cabanne III, was awarded to the father. Cabanne was the chief witness in the which occupied but 20 min- utes. He told how he had entertained Brandenburg, a magazine writer, in his home. He said he first learned of the re- lations between Brandenburg and Mrs. Cabanne through reading in the Post- Dispatch of Mrs. Brandenburg’s divorce suit, in which Mrs. Cabanne was named. He also told of a letter he had re- ceived from his wife, in which She admitted that she had wronged him, and told him she was unable te support their son. Teok Son From Home. “We were married June. 26, 1899," he said, ‘‘and the separation came in July, 19066. That summer Mrs. Cabanne had been . visiting friends in New York, and she returned the first part of July. I believe that it was way 16 that I ae ing our songwith her. She left no word for me. _The next day Brandenburg arrived in town. I had been introduced to him gev-} eral months before by Mrs. Cabanne, who said she had met him and his wife in New York. I had entertained him in my house several times. He came to see me the day after my wife had left, and later asked me over the telephone to meet him at the Missouri Athletic Club. He said hé wanted.me to introduce Lim to some influential men in town whom he thought I knew. “I went down to the M. A. C., but missed him. They told me he had left word that he had gone to the Hamilton Hotel. I went eut there to see him. On the car I saw in the Post-Dispatch a stery about his wife’s suit for di- vorce, !n which Mrs. Cabanne was named as co-respondent: Admitted Story Partially. ‘When I met him in the Hamilton, 1 showed him the paper and asked him if there was any truth in the story. He answered, ‘Just enough truth to make it dangerous.’ I made an appoint- ment to meet him the next day, which he never kept, and I understand he left town that day. “I did not hear anything more from him. I received no word from Mrs. Cabanne' until last December. I was in Rochester, N Y.. at that time, and she wrote me a letter. In the letter sh2 admitted that she had done me a great wrong. She said that she did not ask any sympathy for herself. but that she did ask sympathy for her son.”’ At this point Judge Grimm asked for the letter. It was produced by Attor- ney W. H. Clopton, and identified by Mr. Cabanne. It was written on com- mon yellow note-book paper, and filled several pages. Attorney Clopten read these ex'racts from it: Penniless World Was Cold, “IT am absolutely penniless, and have been so for two weeks. New York is “ cold place. I cannot support my son, and as I cannot allow him to becom? ill or wasted, I will have to turn him over to the charity of strangers unless you are willing to take him. You will find him a handsome and bright boy, one of whom you can be justly proud. I do not ask for any sympathy for my- self, because I admit the great wrong I have done you, but I ask for sym- pathy for him.” Mr. Cabanne then continued his testi- mony. “I wrote Mrs. Cabanne that ! was coming to New York, which I did. I met her at No. 7 North Eighth street and arranged with her to take the boy.”’ “Did she say anything at that time about Brandenburg?” asked Attorney Clopton. “Yes, she said she had left him.” Lives With His Mother. Mr. Cabanne then testified that he was @ traveling salesman .for a New York firm. He said that since his wife had left him he-had lived with his mother at 6365 Cabanne avenue. Several character witnesses testified for Cabanne. The decree in Cabanne’s favor leaves Mrs. Cabanne free to marry Branden- burg if he and she desire to wed. His wife obtained -her divorce in the suit {which first attracted Cabanne’s atten- | tion to = state of affairs. - ——

The fact that a man is a colonel on Gov. Hadley’s staff does not excuse him from jury duty, nor does the addi- tional fact that he may be appointed president of the St. Louis Board of Po- lice Commissioners. Col. John A. Laird discovered this situation when he ap- peared Monday morning hefore Judge Fisher on a jury summons in the case of Policeman Michael J.’ McNamara, whose second trial on the charge of killing his wif t 10 o'clock. When a sep TP co tiea for those summoned for possible jury duty in the case, who had legal excuses for not serving, Col. Laird stepped forward. He was accompanied by Col. Martin’ Col- lins, also of the .Governor’s staff. Col. Collins was not in the list.of talesmen, but went to the bar to reinforce his brother Colonel. “What excuse have you to offer for } not wishing to serve?’ asked Judge Fisher, addressing Laird. ‘‘Well, your honor, I see by the news- papers that I gave been mentioned for appointment as president of the Police Board.

You are not excused. Col. Laird reluctantly returned to hia seat, open to a call to sit on ‘the jury which will decide whether McNamara, known as the tallest man on the force, formerly of the Broadway squad. sali be adjudgéd guilty of his wife's murder. McNamara was separated from his wife, who lived with her father, Thos. Mansur, at Jefferson avenue and How- ard street. On the afternoon of Aug. 20, 1906,, he obtained leave of abse-e. saying he wanted to attend to pr: business. He went home and put on 4a civilian coat, retaining his revolver in its holster. He hid behind a tree box and watch- ed his wife leave her father’s house. He saw her meet James Brophy, a bar- tender, at Eighteenth and Olive streets.

It was a little thing. Yet it jarred the nerves of 661 per- sons, the 8000 being the audience, the 60 the-New York Symphony and the one Walter Damrosch, conductor of the big Music Festival at the Coliseum. The Sunday afternoon concert was well under way. Not a jarring note—not even a cough or a discordant sneeze— had marred ‘the perfection of the per- formance. It was a little thing—not half as big as ane of the Oompah horns in the or- chestra. To leok at it, one wouldn’t think it could make as much noise as a penny whistle. Madame Fremstad, superbly picture-hatted and queenly and voice, was singing her fullest notes in the duet of and Siglinde. The dreamy oboe was sobbing {n an excess of deep emotion. The “piccolos were wailing their grief, Bnd the bass horn was plaintiveiy crying: boo hoo, boo hoo. : She reached ‘for the highest note in her register, but somebody got there first. It wasn't the bass-horn plaver nor the kettle-drum man. Mr. Damrosch looked reprovingly at the first fhute, but the first flute shook his head dep- recatingly. He hadn't done it, It was a little thing.

DREAD SLEEPING SICKNESS KILLS, ST, LOUIS MAN George J. Owens is dead at the City Hospital of a maitady diagnosed by physicians there as the sleeping, sick- ness, the disease which, according to Rudyard Kipling and Prof. David Starr Jordan, menaces the life of Theodore Roosevelt in Africa. How the man contracted the disease in St. Louis is not known. He said he had never been in the tropics, to which it is peculiar, and the physicians can account for it only on the theory that he was bitten by some insect and so inoculated with the germ. Owens was,a teamster, 4 years old. He was taken to the hospital April 2 from 6 North Ninth street. He slept more than two-thirds of the time he wee there, the slumber continuing from eight to ten hours. The longest sleep recorded was 2 heurs. When aroused} from th sleep, Owens seemed stupid and sen'!-somnoleni, and he#so0on fell back foto it. He said he had been fli two monthe before be was taken to the hospiial. Sleeping: sickness is techaten: ly known as comotose malaria. It is one of the deallest inaladies known to the tropics, and now torcatens to depopulate the en- tire Uganda region in Africa.

As the construction which the Government placed upon the act andj} seeks to’ enforce is now held to be unsound, and as none of the. conten- tions relied upon are applicable to the act as now construed because under such construction the act merely en- forces ‘a regulation of commerce by which carriers are compelled to dis- sociate themselves from the products which they carry and does not pro- hibit where the carrier is not asso- ciated with the commodity carried, it follows that the contentions on the sub- ject of the fifth amendment are without merit. Ne Penalty Asked. 4 The exemption as to timber, etc., con in the clause is not repug- nant te the Constitution. 6. The provision as to penalties is separable from the other provisions of the act. As no recovery of penalties wes prayed, no issue concerning them is here presented. It will be time enough to consider whether the right to recover penalties exists when an at- tempt to collect penalties is made. 6. As the construction now given the act differs so widely from the construc- tion which the Government gave to the act, and which it was the purpose of these suits to enforce, it is held that it ig not necessary, in reversing and re- manding, to direct the character of de- crees which shall be entered, but sim- ply to reverse and remand the case with directions to enforce and apply the statute as it is now construed. 7. As the Delaware & Hudson Co. is engaged as a common carrier by rail in the transportation of coal in the channels of interstate commerce, it is a railroad company within the purview of the commodities clause and is sub- -Ject to the provisions of that clause as they are now construed. Decision Not a Surprise, Intense interest was manifested by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the decision, which did na jome as @ surprise, because it had been antici- pated, on the basis of the debate in Congress, that the court would hold that ownership of the stock or bonds of coal companies did not constitute a vio- lation of the act. 7 The concrete situation is that oniv two of the anthracite roads own, op- erate and market their own coal. It is regarded that under the decision of the court the law applies to those roads— the Lehigh Valley and the Delawaro Lackawanna & Western. The effect of the decision, it is be- lieved, will be to induce those lines to organize separate coal companies and uct their operation through them, because the mere holding of stock in such coal companies is held by tho court to be not a violation of the law.

turbed by the steam calliopo in the circus parade, which played so loudly that witnesses could not be heard until it had passed. The suit of Mrs. Lillan T. Harris against Alfred T. Harris was taken under advisement by Judge Grimm. Mrs. Harris, who was Miss Lilian Lang, told of how she had been compelled to pay more than $2000 worth of bills her husband hed contracted during the two months they were married. They were married in November last year. This January he left her, Mrs. Harris testified. She has heard that he is in Montana. “The first humiliation of being re- quired to pay his bills,”’ she testified, “came when a jeweler visited me and told gne that my engagement ring had not been paid for. I paid the bill—$250. Paid Bill Before Marriage. “Then shortly. after our marriage all sorts of creditors came to our home. Mr. Harris was out of work and he told me to tell the creditors he was out of town or not at home. It became so bad that finally, to save my own credit which had always been good, I paid off what I thought were all his debts, Then @ money lender came to the house and told me he had lent Mr. Harris $150 and tried to get me to sign a deed of trust of my property. This I refused to do, although I wrote my husband a check for the $150. “Even before our marriage I paid one bill of $200 for him. He kept telling me he expected several thousand dollars from a legacy, but the legacy never camé. Then he told me in January that he was going away on business. He never returned. Miss Clara Ziegenheim, daughter of an ex-Mayor of St. Louis, testified to the good character of Mrs. Harris. Judge Grimm announced that he would give his decision some time next week. SA ATT A eR

I had about decided to put her on artificial food altogether when the advice of dear old ‘Aunty’ put baby and I on the right road. “She insisted upon my trying Grape- Nuts food, declaring that it would help me and give baby more nourishment, so to please her I did, trying it for break- fast. The result was so marked and so nmuick that I ate it for luncheon, too, and I must say the change has been vonderful. .I have good health now nd baby is a strong, active child. “My mother says that Grape-Nuts helps her more and keeps her more “heerful and happy than anything else she has ever done.

He invited her to go to his home; 264A Chouteat avenue, and board with his mother. She accepted the invitation several months* ago. Sunday Miss Shively told him she in- tended returning to her own home and again she shook her head when he begged her to marry him and remain at his parents’ home. He appeared gloomy and low-splirited when she said good-night and retired early in the eveninf, but neither the gir! nor his mother suspected that he planned suicide, and his mother did not pay particular attention to his move- ments. Mrs. Young read until 11 p. m. At that hour the youth crept into his sweetheart’s room. ~~ “You don’t love me any more,” he said, ‘“‘so I’m going to kill myself.” He drank the contents of an ounce bottle of carbolic acid before she could move to prevent him. Then he fell across the bed. She screamed and he staggered to his feet, entering the kitchen and groping for the faucet, calling for water. His mother support- ed him to her own room and a phys!i- cian was summoned. Before the doctor reached the house the boy was dead. HER PHYSICIAN ADVISED Taking Lydia E.

He is strongly opposed to intemperance as he views it. | “Too much whisky is.a bad thing,” he says. But whisky is good medicine when you don’t drink too much of it.’”’ Not Worrted About Family. Herr Bildstein has a family some- where, or used to have, but he is not worrying about that. It is known to his friends that heleft three sons in Ger- many and perhaps a wife. The Furriers say he has received one letter from his folks since ‘he came to S8t. Louis. He did not answer it. Possibly this negiect was in keeping with his ‘‘don’t worry”’ creed. Bildstein says ff you take life easy you will live long and be happy. His grandfather lived to be 106, he says, be- cause he always took things easy. “But my father, who was always wor- rying and fretting about things, died young—only €0,’* says the son. Persons who talk a great deal and get excited consume their own vitality, thinks Bildstein, who talks but little and never gets excited at all. Not Much of a Celebration. There was not much of a celebration last Saturday. Bildstein does not be- lieve in making much over a man’s one-hundredth birthday. The Furriers invited a few of the old man’s friends in the neighborhood and provided the extra gallon, but Herr Bildstein merely smoked and chewed and drank as us- ual—possibly a little more of the latter than usSual—and did his daily chores. The Furriers say he can have a home with them as long’as he lives—and his daily pint, plus. “It’s only $2 a week,” said Mrs. Wil- liam A. Schmit, Furrier’s sister, ‘‘and it means a lot of pleasure for him.” YOUTH IDENTIFIES MAN WHO GOT $110 IN CONFIDENCE GAME Promised Money Back if He’ll Drop Prosecution, He Takes Detec- tives to Rendezvous. Albert Hamilton, in jail at Belleville, has been identified by Guy Davis, the Boonville, Mo., youth, as the man who took his $110 when they were in East St. Louis looking for ‘‘the crest of the flood” on April 22. Hamilton was ar- rested at Eighteenth and Olive streets, St. Louis, Saturday night. Davis went to that corner in response to inférmation that. a man would be there to give him back his money if he would consent to drop the prosecution. Davis took detectives with him. When he saw Hamilton he said: “That’s the man that got my money.”’ Hamilton waived a requisition and went to Belleville with a policeman from that city. Monday he was ar- raigned before Justice Wangelin and held to the grand jury in $600 bonds.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. the opening of the National Peace Con- gress here today, President Taft pledged this influence as head of the nation to the cause of peace and declared the United States, by helping weak coun- tries to become strong, had contributed to the peace of the world. Mr. Taft's letter was as follows: I greaily regret that I am unable to attend the coming National Peace Congress at Chicago and there to express my earnest sympathy with the object of the assembling of so many distinguished men in the in- terest of world peace. That progress has been made in the matter of peace evervwhere by international action and by the moral pressure of the peoples of the earth, anyone who has examined the record must admit. It is true that armaments go on increasing in cost, but it is also true that the purdens presented by this competition in armament are grow- ing neavier and heavier, and the rrobleims for solution consistent with their increase become more and more difficult. The possibilities of war now arising) come chiefly from irre- sponsibliities of government and in those couniries where stability of in- ternal control is iacking. The United States has contributed much to the cause of peace by as- sisting countries weak in respect to the internal government so as to strengthen in them the cause of law and order. This relationship of “Kuardian and ward as between na- tions and countries, in my judgment, helps along the cause of internation- al peace and indicates progress in civilization. The policy of the United States in avoiding war under all cireum- stances except those plainly incon- sistent with honor or its highest wel- fare has been made,so clear to the world as hardly to need statement in my hands. I can only say that so far as my legitimate influence ex- tends while at the head of this Gov- ernment, it will always be exerted in the full in favor of peace, not only as between this country and other coun- tries, but as between our ying na- tions. Following the reading of the letter there were addresses by several dele- gates. Une of the speakers on tne pro- gram is Congressman Bartholdt of St. Louis.

Tailored Cloth City Southern, took Judges Philips and McPherson upon a fishing trip to Tampico in a private car belonging to the railroad companies; the facts in reference to the trip being made ap- parent by the action of the State Game Warden in arresting members of the party for having in their pos- session game, in violation of the laws ' of the State of Missouri. That upon the return of the party from their fishing trip the -replies of the railroad companies to defend- ant’s answer were filed and a motion was made to appoint a referee to hear the testimony which was, at first, denied by Philips, but after- wards granted. That on account of the application for delay on the part of the railroads, the taking of testimony was not be- gun until the spring of 1906. The resolution tells how the freight law was amended by the Legislature in 19066 and the 2-cent fare law passed. When the railroad made it known that they would not obey the laws, the At- torney-General asked the State Court to enjoin the railroads to obey the law. Unusual Court Action, The resolution continues: Then Judge McPherson, arbitrarily and without notice to the State, made an order, without the filing of the supplemental bill, but on the pre- sentation to him of a rough draft of the same, enjoining the railroads from obeying the 2-cent passenger law or the freight rate law, al- though the railroads had never in- tended or threatened in any way to obey either of the laws; thereby, by an extraordinary proceeding destroy- ing the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Missouri previously obtained. That in the month of February, 1909, Judge McPherson granted an injunction enjoining the enforcement of the 2-cent passenger law, stating in his opinion that he thought 2% eents per mile was as much as the railroads should charge, therby at- tempting to ursurp the functions of the legislative power of the State of Missouri in the fixing of passen- ger rates on the railroads of the State. The resolution than describes the re- cent moves by the State and the rail- roads in the State and Federal courts in the fight over the 2-cent fare law con- cluding with the charge that after the State Court in St. Louis had enjoined the railroads, Judge Philips, on April 24, 1909, issued an order dissolving the injunction granted at the instance of the Circuit Attorney, on the grounds that the State officials were filing suits to embarrass the Missouri railroads and ruled further that any State of- ficial or State court that issued any further injunctions against the rail- roads would be held in contempt of the Federal courts.” Philips Former Partner of Vest.

Alton is still “het up’’ by or with the gas problem. St. Louis, too, stands by with numerous suggestions as to wheth- er we cook WITH gas, as the Alton op- position contends, or BY gas, as the gas works’ literary editors hold. The posters put up by the gas works, four feet square, “COOK BY GAS,” still flaunt their alleged infraction of the rules of gas grammar in the faces of the Altonites., Since the publication in the Post- Dispatch Friday of the announcement of a prize of $10 offered by the Alton gas works to the person who will settle the dispute according to the highest Hoyles of rhetoric and grammar, most of the gas users have been standing BY their gas ranges and grates trying to warm themselves WITH gas. The problem has widened. People are asking ‘now, ‘““Do we light the gas range WITH a match or BY a match?’ This Is One “On” Compan Messrs. Hardy and Macy, the’ ‘Alton gas literati, have received many letters from candidates for the prize. One who signs himself ‘‘Hoosier,’’ 4933 Shaw ave- nue, St. Louis, writes: ¢« “I got a gas range a couple of years ago and started to cook WITH gas, but it wouldn’t work. Then I tried to cook BY gas, with the same failure. Then I made an ineffectual effort to cook MIT gas. Finally I struck a match and lit the gas. Now I cook ON gas, or ON a gas fire.’’ Robert Nagel of 1113 North Broadway, St. Louis, writes: “T read abéut the gas contest in the Post-Dispatch. Both your gas people and your crtitics are wrong. We cook OVER gas.”’ Still another St. Louisan, H. H. Filescher of 1513 Olive street, gets be- yond the by or with limits by or with the assertion that he cooks ON gas or ON a gas stove. bs eas ee This Ortti Marie L. napp of Ln Oak street, Alton, writes that she thinks WITH is correct. ‘“‘With denotes accompani- ment of cause, means, instrument, etc.,”’ she argues. “By means in the neigh- borhood of, near, next to, not far from, etc.”’ A person named Walker, whose first name is Weary, according to his own signature, writes on a Post-Dispatch margin that if Messrs. Macy and Hardy will be so kind as to forward a slice of bacon and a bag of beans to “Camp- fire Haven,” a mile up the C. & A. Railroad track, he will cook the beans IN a tin can and fry the bacon OVER an open fire WITH thanks BY himself and his traveling companions. The gas works editors have deter- mined to appoint as a committee of judges in the contest a teacher from each of the following institutions: Shurtleff College, Western Academy, Monticello Seminary, Alton High School and Upper Alton High School.

inary votes. Military. HS im il r hirty-Four Republicans Are Lined Up in Favor of the Measure. —— a THIRTEEN UNCERTAIN ———— Democratic Members’ Are Counted Upon to Help Per- fect the Schedules. ——— aie By Wire From the Washington Burenn of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, May 3.—Senator l- drich now lacks 12 votes of a majority for his tariff bill. By hammering and trading in the next two weeks he ex- pects to get those 12 votes and severa! to' spare. He has measured his men and knows in detail what he must give and take. As the third week of tariff debate opens in the Senate the 59 Republican members of that body appear ag fol- lows: Thirty-four will stand by Senator Aldrich, right or wrong, and vote with him for the bill when perfected, even if it does not entirely meet their own ap- proval. These are: Aldrich, Beveridge, Brandagee, Briggs, Bulkeley, Burnham, Burrows, Clark (Wyo.), Crane, Cullom, Curtis, Depew, Dick, Dillingham, Flint, Frye, Gallinger, Hale, Kean, Lodge, McCumber, Nixon, Page, Penrose, Perkins, Piles, Richard- son, Root, Smoot, Stephenson, Suther- land, Warner, Warren and Wetmore. Aldrich Concedes Only 13. Twelve are now unalterably opposed to the bill unless downward revision is made much more pronounced, Aldrich concedes but 12 of these opponents, al- though 15 or 16 are claimed by the lead- ers of that faction. The 12 are: Borah, Bourne, ~~ Bristow, Burton, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Dol- liver, Gamble, La Follette and Nelson. Thirteen are classified as uneertain. They will vote with whichever faction most nearly represents the interest of their State or section. These are: Bradley, Brown, Burkett, Carter, Pont, Elkins, Guggenheim, Héyburn, Johnson, Jones (Washington), Oliver, Scott, Smith (Mich.) It is expected that, by conciliation and trading, all of these uncertain ones will be brought into the Aldrich camp. It is essential the 12 of them vote with that faction if the tariff is passed strictly by Republican votes, of which there are not sufficient now in sight to give it the requisite 46 votes. The 32 Democrats are divided into radicals, -fa- voring a tariff for revenue»oénly, and conservatives, who believe that if pro- tection is to be the national policysthe Southern states might just as well be benefited by its advantages. 1 Help Repubticrns, Du many, if not all, votes. They will aid in placing duty on lumber, coal, iron ore, cotton, ofl and fruits. As a formal rolitical duty the Demo- crits will vote against the bill when it comes up in the Senate for passage, but, as a matter of fact, they will play a very important part in making it up as the voting on items progress. There wil! be few political lineups on these prelim- Each Democratic Senator jwill take care of himself and his own section, so far as his vote and his in- fluence will go. Without this splitting Senator Aldrich could not complete his bill. If these Democrats should vote for a reduction every time they could join with a num- ber of Republicans whd favor reductions on various items there would be many decreases in the present rate, and the bill would be amended out of all sem- biance to its present shape. In many in- stances Mr. Aldrich will face Republic- an opposition of from fifteen to twenty votes, but, in most cases, he will have with him at these times more than enough Democrats to make up. the 1083,

The cheetah is the hunting leopard, and is easily tamed to hunt game for its master, for which purpose it is used much in India by the rajahs. When it is domesticated it is as fond of atten- tion as a house cat. However, to look at the cheetah in his cage at Barnum & Bailey’s circus, one would think twice about stroking its fur and calling 1 ‘pretty pussy.” Anyhow, the circus is in town with an assortment of 100 of everything ex- cept clowns, of whom there are only 50, but that would seem to be enough. What would you think to have on your payroll 100 aerialists, 100 noted rid- ers, 100 acrobats, 100. musicians and 100 sensational acts? That is what the “greatest show on earth” advertises, and the parade looked like it as' it wound its way through the crowded streets Monday morning. Has Three New Sensations, Barnum & Balley’s circus has three new sensations this year, one of which is a regular blood-curdler, two automo- biles that rush down an incline, turn somersaults and pass one another in the air. This act tries the nerves of the most phlegmatic person in the audience. A very amusing feature is a brass band composed of eleghants that play encrmous brass irstruments. While they are not exactly symphony orchestra players, they amuse the children, both small and grown-up. Another thriller is the horse that goes up in a balloon. He does it, too, with as much saugfroid as any member of the St. Louis Aero Club, and a good deal sangfroider than some of them. The Barnum & Bailey menagerie is said to be the finest carried by any show on the road this year. It has a two-horned rhinoceros. : Beasts Like Teddy Is After. It is a savage beast and the only one of its kind known in captivity. He is the sort of thing Teddy will run up against in Africa, and the man who caught him says that if ‘eddy annoys rhiny he better have his running shoes on, for he will certainly be chased across lots. The double-horned rhinoc- eros is the most savage beast of the African yungie, and has the iion backed off the veldt for fighting qualities. There are several: particularly fine lions in the show, and an unusually good lot of camels and elephants. In the rings are a number of noted equestrians and acrobatic acis, and some of the best ring and trick horses in the business. The Barnum & Balley shoW will be at Handlan Park, Grand and Laclede avenues, all week, the first performance being Monday after- noon. Two exhibitions will be given each day. afternoon and night.

and knows ‘em better than any other man in St. Louis, spent Sunday in a big snake catch near St. Charlies. He found that region a delightful one for snake fanciers and added several fine specimens to his large collection. He was in St.Charies as the guest of Max Neumeyer, a grocer. On the snake grabbing expedition he was accompanied by Max Neumeyer Jr. and Emil San- ford. Their greatest success was met near Elm Point, about three miles west of St. Charles. They saw a piece of sheet tron lying in the road. Mr. Hurter looked at it with the eye of a connoisseur. “I think there are snakes under that,” he said, “‘you young fellows lift up one side of it.” They did as directed and Mr. Hurter stoop down and peered under the edge. He gave’a shout of joy. “I should say so,” he cried. ‘“‘Here are some fine ones.” He reached under the iron and drew ribbon snakes, water moccasins, black snakes and a very rare specimen. of toad. The captives were carried to St. Charles in a bag and transfered to a box in which Mr. Hurter took them on an electric car to St. Louis. Mr. Hur- ter has 3000 snakes—nearly all dead—in his St. Louis snakery.

It has remained for the Music Festival to confirm beyond: all question- ing the high claim that St Louis now possesses’ @& vast and perfect music- auditorium without a superior in this country or Europe. Division of the Day’s Honors, This incidental aspect of the festival’ s opening, however, was soon overshad- owed by the artistic triumphs scored during the progress of the tiwo concerts.

achieved these triumphs. The highest honors of the day rest with Walter Dam- rosch as conductor, with the New York Symphony players under his guidance, and with the three prima donna stars among thé soloists—Mmes. Olive Frem- stad, Corinne Rider-Kelsey and Nevada Van der Veer. | Herr Gustav Holmquist commended a@mirable employment of his, sonorous basso voice, at times possessing more of the baritone quality, in “The Evening Star’’ song from ‘“‘Tannhauser,’’ and Mr. Reed Miller’s tenor proved fairly pleas- ing, but the real solo successes of the two concerts were scored by Fremstad, Rider-Kelsey and Van der Veer, each of the most convincing nature. Highly creditable work was done at the evening concert, too, by the local German sing- ing societies, the Nord St. Louis Bundes- chor, the Freier Mannerchor, the Ap- pollo Gesangverein and the Ladies’ ,i Chorus of the Frei Gemeinde of North St. Loufs, under the direction of Mr. Hugo Anschuetz. Great Wagner Program at Afternoon Concert. It was inevitable that the New York Symphony Orchestra should most sig- nally distinguish itself at the after- noon concert, a grand Wagner program then being offered. This almost flaw- less instrumental ‘organization is ‘per- haps without a peer in Wagnerian inter- pretation, and Walter Damrosch, its leader, stands among the world’s fore- most Wagnerian conductors. Yesterday afternoon’s program afforded the am- plest oppurtunity for an orchestral rev- @lation of,.excellence. The opportunity was improved to the utmost. The prelude and finale from “Tristan and Isolde’ was the especially dis- tinguishing feature of the afterncon pro- gram. In this number the New York Symphony players proved themselves

The note; which was dated April 30, was as follows: “To the finder of this note I request that the police be notified to drag the lily pond in Benton Park for the body of one who has been driven to despond- ency by inability to secure employment. Blessing to the finder of this note from one who was driven to desperation. From one who is no more. Goodby.

Rose, the rector, passed out’ of the vestry into the chancel of the Church of the Redeemer, in Newark, yesterday, 400 daintily gloved hands reached aloft. Four hundred (on six hundred, maybe) jet-tipped and glass- tipped and bejeweled hatpins were whisked out and held between fingers or teeth. Then 200 new spting head- pieces, peach baskets, coal scuttles and all the other infinite varieties, were lift- ed from their wearers’ heads and paced on the pews and pew floors. It was as though a gale had blown through a garden and swept all the blooms away. Where a moment before had been a profusion of color, now there was nothing but a monotone of brown, with an occasional touch of black or yellow. “Hats off in church!” had caused the unusual spectacle. It wasn’t an order; it was merely a hint. The Rev. Mr. Rose had caused the word to pass quietly through the congregation dur- jing the week. Mr. Rose looked over his congrega- tion with a broad, grateful smile, for & moment, then proceeded with his ee ee ee ~~ KEEP KIDNEYS WELL Keeping the kidneys well and in or- der is perhaps the most important es- sential to health. When the kidneys go wrong, everything goes wrong, the whole system is affected. Such symp- toms as: Backache, pains in the groin or hip, soreness in th pains in the joints or muscles, frequent desire to ‘urinate or highly colored urine, should have prompt attention to prevent more serious forms of kidney trouble, Bright’s disease or diabetes. The following prescription is perhaps the best that can be obtained for weak or disordered kidneys, and bladder: Six ounces good pure gin, one-half ounce Murax compound, one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu, all of which can be had from any good druggist. For best re- sults this mixture should be taken in doses of one to two teaspoonfuls after each meal and continued for several days after all symptoms have disap- peared. * * *

EXPECTS $50,000 PRIZE He Joins Baldwin of the White Wing in Trying to Beat the Wrights. By Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. ~NEW.YORK, May 3.—J. A. D. Me- Curdy, aeronaut of the famous Silver Dart flyer, who has just returned from Nova Scotia, told of his daily flights in the Silver Dart, during which he al- ‘ways followed a carefully marked route regardless of high winds. “During the winter,’’ he said, ‘‘I made upwards of 300 flights in the Silver Dart of nine miles each at Baddocks, Nova Scotia. Of course, I made other shorter flights. We marked out a course over the ice of the lake and around the har- bor, using spruce bushes for stakes, *o that we always knew just what distance we made. “T used to satin flying there early in the morning and kept it up for the greater part of the day. “At times I flew in a wind of 20 miles an hour velocity without difficulty. Once an aeroplane is in motion it is stable enough, and its own momentum drives it through the air. It takes a great deal to disturb its equilibrium. “It is a mistake to build an aeroplane and its motor too light. You want weight, if you’ve got the power to drive it_into the air.”’ Expects to Capture $50,000 Prize. Mr. McCurdy announced that he and RF. W. Baldwin, inventor and navigator of the White Wing, had organized the “Canadian Aerodrome Co. to capture the $50,000 prize offered for successful aero- planes by the Canadian Government. They plan to deliver two aeroplanes to the Dominion before June. «The Canadian Government has deter- mined to have an aeronautical military division, and $50,000 has been set aside for the purchase of aeroplanes that real- ly will fly. Mc{urdy and Baldwin are Canadians by birth, and, therefore, Brit- ish in symathy. Under the corporate title of the Cana- dian Aerodrome Co. they have begun t6 construct three aeroplanes.

S., where the machines are being built, and it is probable the Canadian Government will possess two efficient aeroplanes éven before the Wrights end their trials for the United States Army officials in June. Trying to Beat the Wrights. After the Canadian tests the young men will sail to England to again try to capture the $5000 prize offered by Lord Northcliffe for a mile flight in a British-built machine navigated by Aa British subject. If conditions are right they will attempt also to win the $7500 prize for the channel flight. Success in both ventures means they will try to win the aggregate of $60,200 private prizes . offered for flights in Great Britain. But their greatest am- bition is to deliver a machine to the English Government before the Wrights make their demonstration: next fall. There will be keen competition be- tween the aeronautic rivals, and it is believed the Canadians will give the Wrights a hard fight for supremacy in Europe. MAN OF 86 INVENTS FLYING MACHINE MODELED ON BIRD NEW YORK, May 3.—It is wholly natural that a man of 86 should have visions of soaring. Robert Creuzbaur of 233A Broklyn avenue, Brooklyn, has them. But he doesn’t intend to soar away from this earth. He announced

| yesterday that he had perfected plans

for a flying machine. He has been a mechinal and civil engineer in Brooklyn for SS years. He is the father of Robert W. Creubaur, for many years a city engineer. Mr.-Creuzbaur hopes to enter his ma- chine in the World-Post-Dispatch Fulton flight... He has entered the competition for a prize of $6000 offered by King Leo- pold of Belgium for a description of the best flying machine. “T am convinced that the most success- ful flying machine must be an imita- tion of a bird,’’ said Mr. Creuzbaur. “Following that principle,’ I have. plan- ned a machine that-will fly in any wind in which a bird can fly. It has a round, single-deck plane, made of wire and light canvas, and is similar in shape to a parachute. Through the center runs a hollow post, sustaining the carriage in which are the motor and the naviga- tor. Above the circular plane is a tri- angular sail fastened to the center post. ‘My machine will soar like a bird. I use a non-exhaust steam motor invented by myself.’’ —

Ben Dixon of 116 South Compton avenue identified Beguslin as the man who had run him down and Beguslin was locked up on a charge of careless driving. Dixon was driving to market when an automobile struck his wagon and up- set him. He was only slightly bruised, but when he reached his feet the chauf- feur had disappeared. Dixon was re- porting the accident when Beguslin walked into the station. “Can you give the license number on the machine that-struck you?’’. asked Beguslin. “No, but I can identify you as the man who was operating the machine,’’ replied Dixon. Beguslin insisted that his machine had not collided with Dixon’s wagon.

Goodbar Declares Tariff Will Make Beef Trust a Shoe Trust. ¢ NO AID TO CATTLEMEN He Writes That Hide Value Is Not Considered Steer’s Price.

In line with the advocacy of free hides by St. Louis shoe manufacturers, bar Shoe Manufacturing Co. has ad- dressed a letter to Senator Warner urg- ing that statesman to ‘vote for the re- moval of the 15 per cent duty imposed by the Dingley tariff in 1897. Mr. Goodbar says he understands Sen- ator Warner is opposed to the removal of the duty on hides, and he ‘writes: “The shoe manufacturers of the State of Missouri, representing one of the largest industries in the State, are solid- ly umited, regardless of party affilia- tions, in their opposition to the tariff on hides. This opposition is based upon a firm conviction that the tariff on hides nct only increases the cost of shoes, har- ness, belting and all other leather goods to the consumers of these goods with- out any compensating benefit, but is a strong factor in enabling the Beef Trust, which includes the Hide and Teather Trust, to establish and main- tain a complete monopoly of the beef, hide and leather markets of the United States to the great injury of the leather tanning and shoe manufacturing in- ierests of the whole country, as well as those of Missouri,’ Farmers Not Benefited, Mr. Goodbar insists that the farmers and cattle growers are not benefited by the tariff on hides, but that the beef packers are the real and sole benefici- aries of this tariff. In proof of his state- ment that the value of the hide is not taken into consideration by the beef packer in fixing the price of beef and that as eviderice of this fact the prices of beef and hides do not rise and fall together, or in the same relative propor- Lttion, Mr. Goodbar sends Senator Warner a table of comparative prices. . These figures show how unrelated are the prices of beef cattle and the prices -of the hides taken from the same cattle. | They show, for instance, that during the ‘ first few months of the Dingley tariff on

“The most striking fact shown by this table of prices,” writes Mr. Goodbar, “is the enormous profit the beef pack- ers have been making and are atill making on hides, It is estimated that thé packers take off annually between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 hides, and as their average profit on each hide is about $3 they are making the huge sum of over $20,000,000 yearly on hides alone from the cattle they slaughter. ‘It is inconceivable how those who know the facts can advocate @ measure which not only does not benefit the cattle growers, but helps to swell the already overflowing coffers of one of the most oppressive trusts that afflict this country and whose ultimate aim is the final extinction of all their com- petitors, not only in the beef packing

HADLEY’S LATEST: ‘MOVE. ites been blocked in his efforts to bring the railroads to terms in the Federal Court and the| ~ State Courts, through the interference of a Fed-| _ jeral Judge, Gov. Hadley has carried the issue to Congress. His resolution introduced in United States Senate by Senator Warner, calls upon the Interstate Commerce Commission to in- vestigate the question of the reasonableness of ———men |! the rates of interstate roads in Missouri and con- tiguous States. The Commission is asked to act upon the results of the investigation. Accom- | nico the resolution are the reports of expert \laccountants showing that the earnings of the roads on business within the State ranged from 5.57 to 16.38 per cent, and on interstate business from 3.69 to 9.56 per cent. The power of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission to interf*re with intrastate rates may be questioned, but the investigation would be valuable. The point raised in the Missouri litt- gation concerned the division ,of. cost between in- terstate and intrastate traffic. The settling of that issue with a full knowledge of the cost and profits on each class of business is necessary to the intelligent and just regulation of rates on both classes. The.States and ihe Interstate Com- merce Commission should be well informed on these points, so that there may be harmony in State and Federal regulation. ‘The United States Courts have taken the ques- tion. out of the hands of the State authorities, but are unable to determine yhat is a reasonable rate. It seems logical that the Interstate Com- merce Commission should settle that question. ‘The railroad managers may have cause to re- gret that they have aroused the fighting blood in Gov. Hadley. He is a man of exceptional energy and resourcefulness, and this latest move in ap- pealing to Congress may bring about unexpected results.’ Certainly it will advance the moveifent altoward a thorough regulation of traffic within and between the states. It may lead to the clear defining of Federal and State jurisdiction, a most desirable object.

The park reservation bill has passed the Senate and will become a law as soon as the Governor’s signature is affixed. Under this law the city of St. Louis is author- ized to acquire park territory in the county, and to construct necessary boulevards wherever the people to be affected shall agree by election. The city is growing so rapidly that parts of the county must soon be incorporated, and this park scheme wisely anticipates that event by laying down the main features of the municipal system of parks and boulevards which shall sat- isfy at once the convenience and necessities of the people concerned in a manner to serve taste as well as utility. It is, in general, in harmony with the boule- vard and park scheme proposed by the Civic League. Unsystematic haphazard growth is a thing of the past, and the city must be guided in its expansion with reference to some carefully planned system, a capital feature of which must be the making and adornment of boulevards con- necting the parks. All are agreed on the expediency of éuch a sys- It only needs agreement in executing the purpose, and energy and public spirit to hasten the work. Such harmony, energy and public spirit are needed to make St. Louis a modern city which shall be equal in all municipal virtues and advantages to any other city in the world. == = -_ ww Alfonso of Castile, called the Wise, remarked that if he had been present at the creation he ‘would have saved the Creator some mistakes.

A safely navigable waterway between the second and the fourth cities of the country is a matter of great importance. St. Louis is watch- ing-every step with the keenest interest. It re- joiced when the people of Illinois approved the issuing of $20,000,000 of bonds. It rejoiced again’ when the legislative committee reported the mat- ter favorably and it will applaud when full legis- lative indorsement is given. It is fortunate that this portion of the project

What a wise provision of law that policemen are allowed to transform themselves at will into judge, jury and executioner. What a saving it is to the public, though some will say we are paying for judges, juries, court officials, prosecuting attorneys, etc., anyway, but a lot of trouble ig avoided, and the relatives of the boy or Man who is scared into running or is suspected of some trivial offense or expected to commit one, can console themselves with the reflection that he might have turned out to be a desperate criminal if the policeman’s bullet had not happily cut short his career. Besides, the policemen get splendid practice at shooting with little or no danger to themselves and patriotic citi- zens should not mind the danger of getting the bullet intended for the runaway suspect. CELTIC-AMERICAN. Depends on Her Husband. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ Thé fact that the American Government regards women as chattels has been illustrated anew by the recent case of Emma Goldman. Irrespective of what one’s personal opinion may be in regard to this particular woman, it should be remembered that the law holds good against all women, no mat- ter how worthy or patriotic they may be. A woman is naturalized without her consent if her husband wishes to become a citizen here. If she later comes to regard herself as an American, adapts herself to hew conditions, severg the old ties, loves the land of her adoption, she finds no permanency in her new status. For if her husband loses his citizenship and is deported she also ceases to be an American, though she may have beeri in no way a partner in his wrong, or even be ‘separated from him long years before. American men are not expatriated on ac- count of marriage. Why should: American women be? LULU MacCLURE CLARKE.

Teddy and the New Sultan. To the Baitor of the Post- Dispatch. Taft lost a chance which Roosevelt would have taken, in the recognition of the new Sultan of Turkey. President Taft simply recognized the new sovereign and let-it go at that. Teddy would have coupled with the official recognition a stiff protest against the terrible slaughter of Armenians and Christians, and might have demanded that Turkey, under her new regime, should at once put a stop to the massacres. And the civilized world would have backed him up. W. Punishment of Wife-Beaters. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why haven’t we a law to protect a wifé from 4 husband who beats her? We have a law? Yes, what kind? Hubby is arrested and marched off to jail to pay a fine, and if he can’t pay it, he is sent to the Workhouse. Who suffers? Wife and chil- dren. The money is taken out of the house if he pays the fine; if not, he is sent to the Workhouse and in the meantime the family must starve. And does it help? _No, the wife gets another beating when he comes home. Why not give him a good, sound beating instead? It would do more good. ONE WHO HAS SUFFERED. Saloons Near Schoolhouses. To the Editor of the Post-Dispaich. , The brewery people are making such a cry over the prohibition movement, but we have laws on our city books that they do not help to support. I refer to the law that there shall not be any saloon within a radius of 300 feet of a schoolhouse. Only recently there has been opened a new saloon on the southwest corner of Sarah street and St. Louis avenue, which comes within the law, covering the 300-foot radius. Now, if the breweries were anxious to obey the laws they would see that all the provisions of the same are met, and refuse to sell to one who proposes vio- lating the law. But no, the Excise Commissioner ts asleep at the post, so who cares whether the chil- dren of St. Matthew’s School are protected or not? No saloon should be allowed near it, and enforce- ment of this law would probably close two at one shot. WILLIAM DWYER. Comfort for the Wets, ' To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn. The gift ef intoxicants in local option communi- ties by a person not engaged in the business of sell- ing liquors is authorized in a bill which hag passed pe House. . The Supreme Court has held, according to the Revision Commission, that it is unconstitu> tional to prohibit such a gift. This opens a wide door tothe liquor traffic. The sale of intoxicants may easily be disguised as a gift. DONALD. “It Might Have Been.” To the Editon, of the Post-Dispatch.

I have been a student at several of the St. Louis business colleges, and while some of them, espe- cially those in modern buildings, are clean and sani- tary, this cannot be said of all, In the one I am now attending the toilet facilities are bad and there appears to be no janftor service, as the cloakrooms are always very dirty. I could complain & the management, but as I know there are others with similar drawbacks, a protest in public may be more rpose. An educational establishment where nu f young women spend their time ought to be clean and neat. It may be the fault of the man- . agers of the buildings, but the conditions in some places are bad that the Board of Health would do well to look into the matter. LADY STUDENT.

MORE-LEGS FOR CHICKENS, From the Baltimore Sun. Never since Nero ate quince pre- serves has the chicken of commerce had enough legs. All of them have enough legs te walk on and to. scratch with,. the game-cocks can put up a great fight with ’em, and as long as the chicken is alive there are legs enough on him—or her—as the case may be. But the moment you prepare the chick- en for the table, when it lies resting in gravy and dressing and is the center of interest, you realize that it hasn’t legs enough to go ’round. Some people like the white breast, some prefer dark meat, and there are even those who call for the gizzard and the neck. But most of them like the leg. As the common or garden chicken has but two legs, there are never enough to supply the demand.

THAT WAS SEWAGE. From the Louisvilel Courier-Journal. “A canal,” says a St. Louis paper, ‘is proposed by which the lakes can empty into the Mississippi River.

CIRCUS TALES. “One day,” said the elephant care- taker, ‘“‘we were giving a parade at Ann Arbor, Mich. This is a college town, and a student entirely met our expec- tations of .what the day would bring forth by hurling a half dozen cannon crackers among the elephants as they marched up the street. “The result was a stampede. The whole herd lit out as if Roosevelt were after them. They thundered across town, tore through a park, and finally espied an alley in the Anrf Arbor col- ored quarter. “They went up this alley, Midway in the block they found a pack gate open. There was a washing on the line in this yard, but the elephants were not in the least frightened by the expanse of white, and hid between sheets and other shelters from their imaginary, pursuers. “In the front of the yard was a two- story house with a rickety second-story porch. Soon after the elephants cealed themselves between clothes lines, the door leading to the poreh opened, and a colored washwoman emerged with a big clothes basket on her head. She closed the door behind her, and started down the steps, crooning a tune. “It was then, or about then, that she ered % elephants in her back- yard. Totally unprepared for this spec- | tacle, she screamed, dropped the clothes pasket, and almost tore the porch off getting back into the house. We dashed in at the back gate just in time to see her flash through the back door. After he had started the elephants pack to the tent, I went back and tried to give her something to.com- pensate her for the destruction of some of her clothes, but the house was empty. Evidently she had gone right through the front, as we saw her go in at the rear, and only heaven knew when she would venture back.” ) Mrs. Charles Gray of Hopkins had@ surprised ——— How About Baby Fakes?

Con- sulation—domestic consultation. A husband came home one evening and, after some time, said: “Well, my dear, I am going into bankruptcy to- morrow. A few hundred dollars would get me through, but I cannot get the few dollars and I am going to ruin.” After awhile the wife said: “I wish you would hunt up the definition of the word ‘independence’ in Webster's Dic- tionary.” He opened the dictionary and found the word “Independence,” and right opposite was a hundred dollar bill. “Now,” said she, ‘‘I. would like you to find the word ‘gratitude.’ ’’ There was another $100 bill. And before the ewening passed she asked him to read a verse of a certain chapter of the Bible. He opened to the verse in the Bible and there was $500, and before the evening ‘had passed the man had financial relief to tide him over his disasters.

Routine business was almost suspend- ed and McCloud and Rooney Lee kept the wires warm with inquiries, but neither the telephone nor the tele- graph would yield any definite word as to what had actually happened in the Williams Cache fight. It was easy to fear the worst.

She was in her riding suit just as she had slipped from her saddle. “Oh, Mr. McCloud, have you heard the awful news?

We have had these th here but rumors; perhaps it is these that you have heard.” No, no! Blake, one of our men, was in the fight and got back at the ranch at 9 o’clock this morning. I heard the story myself, and I rode right in to—to see Marion, and my courage failed me—I came here first. Does she know, do you think? Blake saw him fall from the saddle after he was shot, and everybody ran away, and Du Sang and two other men were firing athimashelay on the ground. He could not possibly have escaped with his life, Blake said: he must have been riddled with bullets, Isn't it terrible?” She sobbed suddenly, and McCloud, stunned at her words, led er to his chair and bent over her. “If his death means this to you, think of what it means to me!’ A flood of sympathy bore them to- ether.

Copyright, 1909, by Charles Scribner’s Sons, “Are you not trying to brofl a roast of beef?’ “Where did you come from?” de- manded McCloud, as Marion came in from the dining room. “Don't seare me the very first thing,” protested Whispering Smith. “But we've been frightened to death here for 24 hours. Are you really alive and unhurt? This young lady rode in 20 miles this morning and came to the office in tears to get news of you.’ The four sat down to supper, and Whispering Smith began to talk. He told the story of the chase to the Cache, the defiance from Rebstock, and the the ns earance of the men he wanted. ang meant to shoot his way throwall us and make a dash for it. There really was nothing else for him to do. Banks and Kennedy were up above, even if he could have ridden out through the upper canyon, which is very doubtful with all the water now.

Written for the Post-Dispatch AN’S idea of what women ought to be is based upon his belief of what she normally is—better than himself. His own selfish desire is the chief factor in dragging down from the pedestal upon which hé himself has placed her, and yet with that strange in- consistency which characterizes him, he will idolize her if she resists. If sin seems blacker in woman than in man it is simply because she is by nature purer and has further to fall. If man seems to condemn sin in the wom- an more than in the man he is paying to her) for that reagon his highest compli- ment. ett Intowvicants are dangerous enough to men, to women they are espectal- ly so, The virtue of the woman with the drink habit ts always in danger. Romulus sentenced women to death for intowication as the beginning of unfaithfulness to the marriage. vow ‘The effect of alcohol upon woman’s will power and sense of moral responai- ity is well known and utilized by the man of the world. The lack of moral balance and de- fective will produced in the woman by drink are more marked than in the man. Woman's emotional organization is more susceptible than that of man, hence the special danger of drink to the woman. The disastrous results of tippling among women are already too well ence shows that, while men who drink often reform, women who be- come victims of. drink seldom do. That women drink ae freely and as frequently as the men is a sight that you can see for yourself in the fashion- able cafes of our cities, where wealth abounds and beauty smiles. I speak from what I have seen as I have mingled in society. I dare not trust myself to describe the things I have seen among women, young and tender, upon whose more impressional temperament and finer organization the destroyer had taken firm hold, and among women. no longer young but whose soul and sense were dead long before their eyes were closed. Did delicacy permit, I could detafl at length heartrending stories—coming from and rich, of ruined homes, broken hearts, utations blasted, prayers silenced, grief sitting on the vacant seats of paternal dishonored lives, drink did it all. I could, if I had the heart, detati at length cases which have come un der my own obdservation and in which my advice has been sought during my long experience in New York which would make your heir rise, your breath catch, your blood which would call forth your deepest commiseration on be- half of the victims, and rouse your just indignation against the social custom which produces such misery.

They have lost. seven straight games. They have won but four games this season and lost ten, all told. But it isn’t the defeat that stings s0 much as the manner in which the de- feat has come. It can not be said the Browns have played bad baseball al: the time and deserve to be in last place In fact, they have played Seth a base- ball than one year ago, yet one year ag? they were right up with the leaders after three weeks of play. The pitch- ing has been better this seasqn. “The hitting has been very much better, and, in fact, is the best in the league so far. There has been very little bad field- ing. It seems as though there is some hidden fate against them, and no mat- ter how hard they try or how strong a game they play, the other fellow just gets ahead of them. ‘They have lost four’games by a score of 1 to 0. Just a little Iuck would have given them the victory. In fact, it was Ajust that little bit:of Iuck that gave the other team the victory on each one jaf those four occasiens. But the Browns lost all four of them when they might have won all four. If they had won all four, they would now stand 8 games won jews 6 lost, and the fans would think they had the coming champions. Luck Against Them will meet all of the Eastern clubs at Sportsman's Park, se they will be right here now for a month and will have a fine chance to get intd their winning stride. The pitchers are doing well, much bet- ter than it was thought possible when the team finished its spring training. Both Powell and Waddell are in form. Graham and Bailey, the two southpaw kids, being heaview and stronger. Barney Pelty is in shape, which means a great help to the staff. Harry Howell is get- ting over his injury and his arm will permit him to pitch a game possibly in & week. Bill Dinneen is showing signs of giving help when those hot days of July come, It looks like a staff of twirlers 20 per cent stronger than last year, and all those 1 to 0 games prove that the pitchers are doing their share of the work. A The club is hitting) in grand shape. Danny Hoffmay is leading the American League and many of his hits are for extra bases. George Stone is about the second batter in the league right now.

Hobe Ferris never led any leagues in hitting, but he has put more men across the plate than any other Brownie. Of course the runs were St. Louig runs. +* VARSITY MEETS C. B.C. IN FINAL baseball teams will meet in the third and deciding game of their series on the Cc. B. C. campus Saturday afternoon. The college nine won last week, while the St. Louls University team won the first game between the nines, played some time ago. The game next Saturday is expected to be a good one, as both teams have been playing good ball of late. Up to date the C. B. C. team has played 11 games and won nine. The team is scheduled to play three games this week, meeting the illinois tollege nine at Jacksonville, Ill., Wednesday; Black- burn University, at Carlinville, IL, Thursday, and St. Louis U Saturday. D Walsh, the clever little shortstop of the college team, has a batting average of .400 for the season and has a fielding mark of .928. He has taken part in 10 games. Pitcher Brown of the college team has a batting mark of .44 for three games.

The Western Rowing Club held its opening regatta yesterday and the event was such & success that some members of the 8. W. A. R. A. are in favor of holding the regatta on the river. The course for the events would not be as good as if the races were held at Creve Coeur Lake, as was the case up to last year, when the regatta was held at Horseshoe Lake. The strong current bothers the oarsmen greatly, but it is thought best to at least try the: plan of holding the regatta on the river. The events at the Western Rowing Club yesterday were between the single and married men, and the single men carried off the majority of the firsts. The surprise of the afternoon was the defeat of Johnny Joachim, the star sin- gle sculler of the Western association. by Oscar Wolf. Wolf won the big event at the Southwestern regatta last year, but it was hardly thought he would have a chante against Joachim in the single sculls yesterday. The fin- ish of the ance was close, but the judges decided that Wolf had crossed the line nrst. The Western R.

MOTOR BOAT MAKES RECORD ON: MISSISSIPP! NEW ORLEANS, May 3.—The Brer Fox II, owned by M. EB. Dean of Cin- cinnati, arrived here last night from Cincinnati, after having broke all mo- tor boat records on the Mississippi Riv- er. It covered the distance of 1564 miles in 54 hours, 21 minutes and 58 seconds. The Brer Fox II left Cincinnati April 22 on its run to New Orleans with three men, The crew, carried a message from, Gov. Harmon of Ohio to Gov. Sanders of Louisiana, and the object of the run was to break the speed record on wa- ter between the twe cities. The record heretofore was about 117 hours, and the Brer Fox II crew start- ed from here, hoping to reduce this to 60 hours. The result has exceeded their expectations, The Brer Fox II is a mo- tor boat.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 3.—"Derby Day,” which, in Kentucky, Tennessee and Southern Indiana calendars, ranges -up alongside the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving as a holiday, brought to Louisville and Churchill Downs today the usual large number of visitors to witness the thirty-fifth running of tle Kentucky Derby. The force at Churchill Downs worked all night on the track, and at daylight it was fast. Three hours later, how- ever, a rain began falling, and at 9 o'clock was coming down steadily. The wet weather cut little figure with the attendance, however, as before the morning was half worn the annual pro- cession of coal carts, milk wagons, etc., was wending its way to the well known points of vantage outside the Downs and overlooking the high inclosure— for a time settling race riots over choice The odds on the etntadtacite shifted only slightly during the night, the ar- rival of some five hundred Tennesseeans with money burning in their pockets to bet on Michael Angelo stiffened that animal's price decidedly. The Tennessee visitors were confident they would wipe out the 35-year-old hoodoo and for once falsify the saying, ““Tennessee always walke home.from the Derby.” Wintergreen will go to the post a slight favorite, with Friend Harry and Miami pressing: him closely in puliic esteem. It was reported from the track this morning that Sir Catesby and“ T. ad Green would be scratched. there to keep a squad of policenrén busy | ‘he baseball world today, and that Miner Brown, the premier of them aill, could alone stand the gaff is certainly a tribute to the hitting prowess of the club. Yesterday the Cardinals did their usual stunt at League Park. They bat- tered and pounded until, in the two games, the Reds had sent. five twirlers te the slaughter. The Cardinals won the first game after Rowan had been belted from the box, and should have won the second game, as no less than three pitchers went in to try and stop the terrible sldughter of the Bresnahan batsmen. The first game was 6 to 4 and the last one 38 to 8, ending in the seventh, when darkness prevented con- tinuance of play. Sixteen thousand fans, which was about 6000 more than saw the Browns play at Sportsman’s Park, the first clash of the season, shivered in the frosty air and wondered why the Car- dinals do not win every game they play on mere batting. But their ghastly defensive record is sufficient to explain all things. The Car- dinals are playing sprightly ball on the aggressive and know that desirable art of making pitchers take to the timber. But wretched fielding has kept back | ‘the fruits of good hitting. Seven errors in seven innings of the second game, and three errors: in the first—a total of 10 errors in 16 innings—seems to apet an excuse for last place. Hulswitt Expected to Add Power to Cardinal Infield Hulswitt was signed up today and he should make a great difference in the defensive strength of the Cardinal in- field. Hulswitt was secured from the Cincinnati club, Saturday, and it was announced yesterday that he would re- port to the Cardinals at once. Short- stop, the pivotal field, has been indif- \ferently defended all season, and has ‘been a source of worriment to Bresna- ban. Charles at second, Byrne at third and Koney at first seem to form a re- liable defense. With Hulswitt on the job at short, the unit of work by the infield will be assured. Osteen has been flighty and is an unreliable thrower. They say Reilly is better, but that he cannot hit. His experience in the few games he has played here speak dif- ferently for him. In four games he has driven two runs home and at that he has not played in full games. Hulswitt cannot hit. develops this trait ir will be a change. It has been the sole reason why he has been on the bench with a big league club as he is surely a great fielder and thrower. Perhaps the Cardinals will straighten out the kinks in their fielding. The cold weather might account for thelr poor display there, and the warmth of summer may cause them to settle down. The first gamée was see-saw yesterday and the battle showed the gameness of Roger’s men. S8t. Louls took the lead in the second inning, tallying one run. Cincinnati tied in the fifth and got to Beebe rather freely in’ the next round, tak- ing the lead by scoring three runs. Then the Cardinals jumped on Rowan and drove him to the woods. Three runs they tallied. and again the score was tied. It was tied in the ninth, too, when the Reds failed to rally. But the Car- dianls came back like the cat when Beebe singled to center and. Byrne forced him trying to sacrifice. Shaw, who all but lost the game in a pre- vious inning, made amends with a ter- S.S.S. igs CRUISE OF 5000 MILES | mataria CHICAGO, May 3.—Ralph M.

PRICES SOAR ON =| THE STOCK MART: READING LEADER Decision Today in Favor of Coal Roads the Mar- ket Factor. NEW YORK, May 32, 12:30 p. m. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the “Commodities Clause’ of the Hepburn law unconsti- tutional, with instructions to modify the decree. The decision is in accordance with the contention of the six anthra- cite roads which were defendants in the case. Roads involved were the Delaware & Hudson, Erie, Central of New Jersey, Deleware, Lackawanna & Western, Pennsylvania and Lehigh Val- ley. The decision is considered an ab- solute victory for the railroads. Notwithstanding this very favorable decision the market slumped during the forenoon. Steel common, Lead and Smelting de- clined % each; Amalgamated %, Ana- conda, C. F. I and People’s Gas % each. Steel preferred was at parity and Consolidated Gas had not opened at noon. In the railway list Pennsylvania lost 4, Atchison, New York Central and D. & R. G. % each, Great Northern and Erie % each, B. & O. %, Union Pacific and Wabash preferred % each, Cana- dian Pacific, C. & O. and Reading 1 each, and Rock Island preferred % point. Missouri Pacific and St. Paul were unchanged. Tradmg was the lightest for several weeks, the total sales to noon aggre- gating only 211,000 shares. Following the action of the London market, which was irregular, the stock market opened today with uncertain price movements along the entire line. Inu a majority of instances changes from Saturday's closing figures were confined to small fractions. Lead declined %, Smelting %, Amalgamated Copper % and Anaconda and Steel common were at parity. Steel preferred gained % and Western Union \% point. In the rails section, Atchison ad- vanced %, Baltimore & Ohio %, Read- ing and Rock Island preferred % each, Wabash preferred % and Delaware & Hudson % Pennsylvania, New York Central and Union Pacific declined % each, Great Northern and Southern Pa- cific % each. B. R. T., Canadian Pacific, St. Paul, |Missour!l Pacific and Northern Pacific were unchanged. Trading in the first half hour was rather dull, and price movements slow, and in a downward direction. New York Central declined . Din oo oe oe on SO me. &@ ©. and Atchison % each, Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific % each, Rock Island preferred and Reading %. each, Wabash preferred % and Canadian Pa- cific 1 point. The other rail stocks were unchanged. Very slight fractional losses were reg- istered in the industrials, but there was trading. Reading was the most active stock on the list.
