MURPHY CHARGE CALLED OUTRAGE BY HAGERMAN Railroad Attorney Sends Tele- gram of Protest to Attor- ney-General. ANSWER BY McPHERSON Jurist Accused by Congress- -‘man Explains Railway Rate Cases. ————_————, RAILROADS DISPLEASED

Asserts Many Points. About Final Decision Were Favor- able to State. ——-

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 4.—Attorney Hagerman of this city, leading counsel for the arilroads in the Missouri rate litigation, today sent a telegram to Art- torney-Genera! Wickersham at Wash- ington, saying that Representative Mur- phy’s resolution is an outrageous tissue of misrepresentation. The telegram follows: Hon. George W. Wickersham, At- torney-General, Washington, D. C.: Representative Murphy's resolution about Missouri rate--case-is an out- rageous tissue of. misrepresentation by one who has no knowledge of the facts. The national character and representation of these judges and their standing here refute’ the charges, but as the newspaper say the matter has been presented to you, I want you and the President to be assured that the record clearly so shows. Every preliminary injunction rela- tive to. fr eight rates. was made with the State’s consent. The injunction against passenger rates was only granted at a final hearing. The State had every facility aeceorded and every courtesy extended. I am glad to say that the State,officers. publiciy. re- pudiate responsibility for the unwar- ranted attack. FRANK HAGERMAN. M’PHERSON ASSERTS RECORD DISPROVES MURPHY’S CHARGE Judge Smith McPherson of Io., whose decisions in the railroad. freight and passen- ger rates cases were criticized in a resolution introduced in. Congress by Representative Murphy of Missouri, told a Post-Dispatch reporter at the Hotel Jefferson Tuesday that all of his orders in these cases are regular and of court record and that he is perfectly willing to be investigated if any other member of, Congress than the author of the reso- lution will vote for rr. Judge McPherson came to St. Louis to speak at the dinner of the Traffic Club at the Jefferson Tuésday night. He will go to Kansas Ciay later to hear argu- ments Wednesday in the application of the railroads for a permanent injunc- tion against Gov. Hadley and Circuit Attorney Jones to prevent them from interfering with the railroa@ rate situa- tion in the State courts. In an gutherized statement Judge Mc- Pherson answered a'i the charges in the Murphy resotutions, which ask an in- vestigation by Congress. Judge Mc- Pherson said that he did not care to be held up to the public in an unfavorable light on account of his decisions. He also explained his decisions. and the question of State or Federal jurisdic- tion, which is one of the mooted points in the rate cases. Resembles St. Louis Attorney. Judge McPherson is 61 ycars old, and on the streets of St. Louis he is fre- quently mistaken fer Attorney Fred Lehmann, president of the American Ber’ Association. Judge McPherson is considerably older than Mr. Lehmann, and looks it, but in his general build and the contour of his face he bears a striking resemblance to the St. Louis attorney. When he .s not on the bench Judge McPherson is democratic. The judicial dignity which some of the ~ Federal judges carry with them from the bench to their private lives is then not ap- parent. In his conversation Judge McPherson is inclined to be snappy—he bites his words off. short. He has a massive head of hair which retains its original dark-brown color. He wears a rather closely Cropped mustache. He has large brown eyes. He is not tall, but the un- usual dimension of his girth makes him appear shorter than he really is. A Native of Indiana. Judge McPherson was born in Mor- gan County, Indiana, and remained there until he grew to manhood. He was educated in the Indiana ¢ommon schools: and at the Quaker. Academy of Indiana. He obtained his legal educa- tion in Iowa State University. He began the practice of law in Red Oak in 1871, and in 1874 he was elected Ditsrict Attorney of the Third District, composed of eight counties. He was public prosecutor for this’ district more than SIX years, and was then elected Attorney-General of Iowa for four years. After retiring from he Boe s rie

Murphy wears these clothes on. all state occasions and to conventions. Murphy is 39 years old, ‘worked in his youth as a hiréd:man*on a farm, became a telegraph operator and train dispatcher, and, in’1894, began the practice of law. He: was attorney for the Creek Indians two years. He was first ¢lected to Con- gress six years ago, then defeated, but last fall was re-elected.. He lives at Rolla. :

I denied the temporary in- junction as t@e passenger rates and there has never been an injunction as to them until the final decree. “As to the fishing trip of three years ago this winter, I have but little to say. I was invited by Mr. Gardner Lathrop, now general solicitor for the Santa Fe system, &@ Warm personal friend of mine, to go with the party to Tampico, Mex- ico, and was gone two or three weeks as his guest. I was then glad to be his guest as I always am. Everybody who knows him knows that he is a perfect gentleman and a man of the highest character, as was his father before him— the long-time president of the Missouri! State University. Ralilroads Were Displeased. “In my opinion, filed March 8, 1909, I said in substance that the fixing of rates was a Legislative act,- subject nly to being reviewed by the courts as whether such rates were sufficiently I used language which we lawyers call dictum. I said that the courts had no powers to fix rates, but that if. I did have the power, I would fix the passenger rates at 2% cents per mile for the stronger roads and 3 cents a mile for the weaker Foems. “My understanding is that Gov. Had- ley was most delighted with that dic- tum, but I may be mistaken in that, and }you will have to confer with Gov. Had- ley as to that. At all events, the rail- roads, through some of their counsel, were indignant at this expression and recently filed a motion before me to eliminate that expression, which last week I denied by a written opinion now on.file. with the Clerk of the Court at Kansas City. “The railroads likewise moved that all the costs be taxed against the State officers, which, in fact, would be against the State of Missouri. The taxable court costs, entirely separate. from” counsel and expert fees, amounts to the enor- mous sum of $18,000. I thought the equi- ties of the situation were such as to warrant me in dividing the costs, com- peiling the railroads to pay $9000 and the State of Missouri $9000. The railroad companies have complained most ear- this, . j i Philips Had Little te Do : “As before stated, Judge Phillips has practically. nothing whatever to do Mith these Missouri rate cases, and Mr. Murphy, has done him a great wrong by using his namé in the way he has. tation as‘a colonel of a Missouri reg)- ment during the war. He commanded a brigade at the Battle of Westport, and but few of the- younger officers. of the Union Army during the Civil War have as fine a reputation as that’earmed by Judge Philips. He is a ‘most ° brilliant and capable man and as pure as a goed woman, ' “Mr. Murphy says in his resolution that he wants a committee appointed to make an investigation. I very ' much doubt whether he,wants such a commit- tee, because, if he knows anything about the cases, he knows that he cannot substantiate one word or recital of his ‘resolution. The, records of the U.°*8: Court at Kansas City are an absojute refutation of every disparaging ‘recital he makes, but of course I shall not ob- ject to a committee, and if any one member of Congress, aside from Mr. Murphy, thinks there should be such @ committee, I will gladly see it appoint- ed. : “In my first decree, filed March 8, }1909, there were a number of mistakes made as to the names of parties, and the omission to include parties and con- fusing parties to these 18 cases. There was a supplementary order made cor- -recting these mistakes. My recollection is that is on there is to the order of April 17. Matter Comes Up May “As to the order of April 2, 1508, the railway companies by wire and long- distance phone wanted me to ge to Kan- sas City, which I was unable to do by reason. of official engagements, but stated that I would be in Kansas City May 6 to clese up other matters in bankruptcy and of minor impertance, ‘Thereupon, as I understand it, Judge Philips issued a restraining ord against the parties from proceeding in the State courts of St. Louis, and set the matter down for hearing in Kan- sas City May 5, when and where I will be present. “You ask me as to the ‘so-called con- flict of jurisdiction between the State and the United States courts. No one on either. side of the cases questions the faet but that the cases were first brought in the United States courts in Kansas City in the spring or summer of 1965. Right or wrong, I believe right, I held in June, subjeet matter was still pending in the United States courta at Kansas City, whereupon I allowed supplemental bills to be filed carrying forward the statutes of 1907 both as to freight and passenger rates. "It is an elementary rule of law that the court whiclp has taken jurisdiction of a subject matter retains that juris- diction until the final end, and that other courts cahnot intervene.”’ Murphy’s Charges Are Specific.

UDGE SMITH McPHERSON has issued numerous orders and injunctions in the Missouri rate cases. Acting with Judge Philips of Kansas City in June, 1905, he issued a temporary in- junction against the State officials, restraining them from enforcing the maximum freight rate law. In June, 1907, he issued in Kan- sas City an order restraining the State officials from proceeding in the State courts to enforce a new maximum freight rate law enacted in the spring of that year, after. the first law had been amended _ to remedy some of its defects. After the passage of the 2-cent-a- mile passenger rate, law the rail- roads applied to Judge McPherson for an injunction against the State officials. He denied this, insist- ing that the rate be, tested. ARCH 8, 1909, after the rates Mi had been tested, Judge Mc- Pherson issued a perma- nent injunction against the State officials, forbidding them from en- forcing the law. <A supplemental arder Was made «.pril 17 to cor- rect some errors as to names in the order of March 8.

Judge McPherson will hear arguments in Kansas City, Wednesday, on the application of the railroads to make this order

railroad companies, and that immediate- ly after their return the judges took up the railroad cases again. Murphy charged that Judge McPher- son, upon the presentation to him of a rough draft of the 2-cent rail- road law, issued an order restraining the railroads from obeying it. He also charged that in his final injunction against the State officials restraining them from enforcing the 2-cent law. Judge McPherson suggested a rate of 2% cents, thereby attempting to usurp the legislative functions of the State. Court Orders Criticised. The orders of Judges McPherson and Philips against Gov. Hadley and Cir- cult Attorney Jones are also criticised. Judge Philips is also characterized as being tyrannical and insulting on the bench. Murphy accuses him of barring jurors from further service in his courts for refusing to render verdicts in accordance with his directions, of being absent from the bench for long periods, and of holding court only four hours a day, causing much inconven- ience and expense to litigants. The resolution concludes by asking Congress. t9 appoint a cemmittee of three members to investigate the con- ‘duct of: ‘Judges McPherson and Philips in the rate cases, and to report its find- ings and recommendations not later than Dec. 14, 1908. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules.

Philips Will Remain Silent, KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 4.—Judge John F. Philips of the United States Circuit Court of this city, whose official conduct, together with that of Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak, Io., was criticised in a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives yesterday by Congressman Murphy of Missouri, to- day decided not to ask for a congres- sional investigation of the charges. Judge Philips had contemplated send- ing a telegram to Speaker Cannon ask- ing for the appointment of a Congres- sional Investigating Committee, but upon ldeeper reflection decided that such a pro- cedure would be a bad precedent, as well as somewhat irregular, as Con- gress would have no jurisdiction in the premises unless impeachment proceed- ings were started. Judge Philips also reconsidered his determination to make a formal state- ment for: publication today, deciding it would be unwise to do so. -He said a statement of his in relation to the Mis- souri rate cases weuld be unsatisfactory to him as it would be construed as shift- ing all the responsibility upon Judge Mec, Pherson. “That would be unmanly and anchival: rous,"’ said Judge Philips. MOUNTAIN GIRLS’ MISSION BURNS MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 4.—St. Mary’s on the Mountain, the celebrated home of the Episcopal mountain work in Ten- nessee, burned at Sewanee early this morning. The institution is conducted by the Episcopal Church of ‘the Diocese of Tennessee, and is a; inission for the mountain girls. ‘Sister Hughetta, the superior, formerly Miss Anne Snowden, a wealthy society girl of Memphis, is in charge. Twenty-five inmates of the home es- caped without injury but the building, worth $15,000, is a total loss.

“STORK BRINGS Daniel St. Gemme and Wife Quarreled Because of His Disappointment. NEWLYWEDS PARTSOON Decrees Granted in Cases Where Separation: Occurred on Wedding Day. The divorce mills are grinding rapidly in the various divisions of the St. Louis Cireuit Court, 60 cases being one day’s grist, with others to come. It is default season, 126 cases being : docketed in this class for hearing. Thirty-four decrees were arantea t6 women and 26 to men Monday. ‘, Deser- tion was the allegation in 25 cases. ' Non- support and general indignities were the grounds on which 14 marriages were dis- solved. Four wives, alleging that their husbands associated with other women were liberated. Two husbands won free- dom on similar grounds. Necessarily, the default cases are one- sided affairs, only one party to e&ch suit being present. In once instance inp rule was broken. Charles Ross W&s. in Judge Williams’ court’ while his ‘wife, Trene Ross, told her story, but ‘he had nothing to say. He was there merely - for curiosity, like ‘the majority of the spectators. The Court granted Mrs. Ross a decree after she had stated that her husband went to Mexico four years ago, stayed three years, and sent her only $15 during his’ absence. Mrs., Ross also said that, when they lived in Toledo, she once went to a saloon to take Ross home and found him drinking with an actress. Prise Beauty Soon Freed, One of the successful plaintiffs, Mrs. Lily M. §Schlange, is a prize-winning beauty of South St. Louis. Judge Reyn- ouds granted her a»decree in 17 minutes after.she began her testimony. She sald the love. of her husband, Eugene M. Schlange, waned early, and her father found it necessary to support both of them within a year after the wedding. She alleged that Schlange drew $200 of her money from a bank and spent it, and that he pawned her jewelry and spent the proceeds. The Schlanges were married May 14, 190%: Mrs. Sechlange gets the custody of the 1- -year- -old daugh- ter, Paula Marie. Judge Grimm granted,.a decree to Mrs. Margaret Worsley, who. was married to Harry Worsley Feb. 4, 1904, and lived with him until Nov. 17, 1906. Mrs. Wors- ley alleged that her husband deserted, her and that she had to pay a debt of $45 which he owed to a coal company with which he was connected. Desertion was the ground upon which Judge Withrow granted a divorce to Mrs. Fannie B. Richardson from James D. Richardson. The marriage took place Sept. 27, 1905, and the separation Aug. 27, 1907. A visit from the stork, usually ‘an agency in cementing home life, had the opposite effect in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel St. Gemme, who were di- vorced in Judge Williams’ court, the wife obtaining the decree. Mrs. 8t. Gemme alleged desertion in her petition, but when the Court asked her to be more specific she said the primary cause of the separation was‘that the last child born was a boy instead of a girl. The first child, Mrs. St. Gemme said, was a boy, and her hushand was anx: lous that the next be a girl. He was unable te restrain his disappointment, the woman declared, and, sccording to her testimony, a quarrel ensued. ‘Thi? was their first quarrel, and it led to others, Mr. St. Gemme said. As a re- sult, they separated March 1, 1907. Cus- tody of the two children was awarded to her.” She lives at 3107 Oregon avenue Parted on Wedding Day, Judge Williams granted a divorce to [.uella Goddard Helein from Louis Wil- liam Helein of 3010 St. Vincent avenue and restored her maiden name, Harper. Helein had permitted the case to go by dcfault, but Attorney Eugene 8. Wil- son, amicus curiae, secured the attend- ance of the defendant in court. The couple eloped to Effingham, Ill., June 15, 1907, and were married. They sepa- rated upon their return to St. Louis the same ay and never eevee Recs at HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA™ Oll of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glycer- ime, Etc., Used as a Simple Wash.

It fay seems strange that so many people suffer year in-and year out with eczema, when it is now no longer a secret that oil of wintergreen mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc, makes a wash that is bound to cure. Old, obstinate cases, it is true, can- not be cured in a few days, but there is absolutely no sufferer from eczema who ever used this simple wash. and did not find immediately that wonder- fully soothing, calm, cool sensation that comes when the itch is taken away. Instantly upon applying a few drops of the wash the remedy takes effect, the itch is allayed. There is no need of experiment—the patient knows at once. Instead of trying to compound the oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, ete., in the right proportions ourse]ves we are wing & prescription which is universally found the most effective.

Mr. Goodson said Tuesday that the rescue at the lake was not prearranged:for publicity purposes. “Why, that phase of it was all a joke,’ he said. ‘‘The boy fell in the water while he was playing ball and I rescued him myself. I wasn’t thinking of the newspapers. I was just thinking of saving Donald Stewart’s life. I was very much surprised when the news- papers called me up and asked me about it that night. paper experience. “After that, a lot of my friends took the matter up and jokingly referred to me as the man who pushed boys into the watar in order to rescue them and get into the newspapers. I have been introduced that way lots of times, But only as a joke, and 1 only mentioned the matter-as a joke last night.” TEACHERS OF DRAWING AND MANUAL TRAINING CONVENE About 400 Delegates From Middle Western States in St. Louis for Session, ... .:, Members of the Western Drawing and Manual Training Teachers’ Association assembled in St. Louis Tuesday and reg- istered at the Central High School, where their sixteenth annual session began Tuesday.

a. TAFT TO ASK TOTAL DIVORCE OF RAILROADS AND MINES He Discusses With Cabinet Su- preme Court: Decision—Will Appeal to Congress. WASHINGTON, May 4—The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the “commodities clause’ of the Hepburn railroad rate law was discussed tn the Cabinet meet- ing today. President Taft repeatedly has announced that he intends to take up and study the question of the con- trol of corporations during the summer months, and that he hopes to be in a position next December to submit def!- nite views to Congress on the subject. “The “commodities clause’’ decision undoubtedly will have a distinct bearing upon his consideration of the matter and it was said today that Mr. Taft would devote himself. largely to the subject of recommending to Congress the passage of legislation which would prevent the possibility of an evasion of the purpose of the clause by the coal railroads.

Since the time it left the coop the to fight. All the other roosters in the neighborhood were afraid of him and when he found he had no other worlds to conquer in the barnyard, he charged the young son of the house. The child wandered into the barn- yard Monday and. the rooster flew in his face and knocked him down. The rooster began using his beak and spur? on the boy, whose lusty cries brought his mother to the rescue. Several bad cuts on his face and arms will serve as a reminder of the fight for several days. The pugnacious rooster was killed, and Herman helped eat him.

CALLS COLISEUM BOON

New York Musician Believes It Will Do Much to De- velop City.

Walter Damrosch, leader of the New York, Symphony Orchestra, playing at the Music Festival at the Coliseum, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday that he had found his St. Louis- audiences keen in their musical appreciation and enthusiastic in their applause. He said the acoustic properties of the Coliseum were marvelous and that the building should result in a new era here of the development of musical taste. “You in St. Louis,” he said, “‘are not fundamentally different from the people in New York, Boston, Philadelphia or Milwaukee. Human nature is the-same the country over. So the only reason that one city is called a musical center and another is called not musical is simply that in one city they have had the opportunity to develop taste and quickening impulses to art and in the other city they have not. “You have made the first important step in creating a symphony orchestra here that is subsidized. With this and with resident musicians you are bound to advance. One can.appreciate classical music as easily as vulgar music. It’s all a matter of abit, education and op- portunity. “T have found that the audiences at the Music Festival have been very ap- preciative. Their applause has _ been spontane-us and enthusiastic. been very much pleased. Marvels at Acoustics, “Before I came to St. Louis I was warned that, owing to the size of the I had better not have any sym- phonies on the program, but play short numbers. On the contrary tonight I will play Dvorak’s great American symphony from the ‘New World..’ “The acoustic properties of the Coli- seum are marvelous. We have nothing like it in New York. The Madison Square Garden does not approach it. “With your Coliseum you will be able to bring very expensive attractions here and at the same time charge not more than $1.50 for the best seat. This will result in developing musical apprecia- tion very quickly and necessarily con- fine the development to one class. “You have the Odeon, an excellent hall for small concerts. You have not yet an opera house, but I suppose that will come soon,”’

BRIDEGROOM GETS TWO YEARS tN PRISON FOR GAMBLING Bride Was Arrested With Him in Raid on His Rooms—Had Elec- tric Cheating Device. Joseph Treybol, in whose room at 1233 Chouteau avenue an electric device for cheating with dice was found by the police after Te and his bride had been arrested in a raid, was found guilty In Judge Shields’ court Tuesday. The jury fixed his punishment at two years in the penitentiary. The charge was that he set up and maintained a gambling game. His de- fonse was thgt he made “‘crooked"’ gam- ing devices to be sold to gamblers. Henry Nussbaum of 2008 South Broad- Way was the principal witness against Treybol. Nussbaum testified that he was induced to play dice in Treybol’s apartment, and that he lost money and a gold watch there. TERMINALS COMMISSION IS. WITHOUT ITS $6900 EXPERT R. H.

I have ~ Same as Last Year—Saloon Man ‘Kills Himself. BALTIMORE, Ma., May 4—As the result of the jump in the price of sa- loon licenses from $500 to $750, about 500 saloons are going out of the business. The revenue to the city, however, will be about the same “as last year. The high license law is partly re- sponsible for the suicide of Paul Maug. who for 22 years conducted a saloon ‘on O'Donnell street. His saloon was a re- sort for the Germans of the neighbor- hood, but business had been unprofit- able during the past. year, and on Fri- day he decided.that it would not pay him to take out a new license at the increased ratés..

at intervals to erphasize the fact of her residence in hell. An Environment of Repulsive Realism. The souls of both are damned. The bodies of both are in rags. All the devils of hell surround them and hoot at the infernal fate to which they are born. These devils are they that are wont to swarm in slum-hells. The devil- muster includes lost women who would fain make Nell Sanders one of them- selves. She is as yet consecrated to Jim Platt in her damnation. Mrs. Fiske and Holbrook Blinn play Nell Sanders and Jim Platt relentlessly. Their fidelity to type attains the stat- ure of greatness in art. They would be insupportably sinister if the gates of their hell were kept closed on them until the story’s end. But this is not done. A woman of the Salvation Army storms these gates. She bears Nell Sanders away from hell when Jim Platt Is sent to Sing Sing for. manslaughter. He had found another obscene male of the slums trying to win Nell from him. He kills this other, precisely as one animal would kill another under simi- lar conditions. For eight years Jim Platt remains in prison. When he emerges he ifs no longer the mere hell-recruit that drink had made of him. He is, instead, that most ma- lign of things infernal—a branded con- vict-Ishmael whose hand is against all men because all men’s hands are against him. And Nell Sanders has become a saint. The Peril of Love—and Also the Power. vation Army captain. A saint encased in the armor of righteousness. But in that armor there is one link of fatal weakness. She still loves Jim Platt, the father of her boy. It seems possible for him to regain his evi! mastery over her through the opera- tion of this love. What now is to become of Nell San- ders, for whose cleansed soul and body the foul body and soul of Jim Platt are lusting as never before? I believe young Edward Sheldon, the author of this curious play, finds the true solution of its problem. There are certain moments in the story’s progress when you cannot con- template Nell Sanders without tears. One of these moments is when Jim Platt is borne away from her by the law—a murderer. Her face breaks with anguish and she gives a heart-searching cry of poignant tenderness and grief. There are certain moments, too, when you cannot contemplate Jim Platt with- out a deep pity that makes the breast ache. One of these moments is when he comes creeping, broken and worn, to Nell, his ‘‘goil,’’ entreating her at last to take him along with her on the new road of peace and a strange com- forting upon which her feet have been set. Another of these moments, when there are tears in your eyes for both, is when Jim Platt and Nell Sanders bow their heads together above their sleeping boy on Jim’s. knee, even in their sins feeling the holiness of their relation to him and to one another. And again, when Nell recalls the one day they made merry to- gether in the country, innocently, the first and only day they ever saw the sreen fields, when, also for the first time, the real Nell Sanders saw the real Jim Platt, a man to whom goou was possible. The Play's wees and Truthful Teach- ing. And "ee you realize that Love can save these two souls. This is what young Sheldon brings about in his story. Love redeems Jim Platt and Nell Sanders at the last. It has redeemed many sueh. It is the only power capable of this redemption. There is nothing mawkish in _ that gripping final moment, immediately pre- ceding the fall of the black curtain, when Salvation Nell slowly enters the Army barracks on Cherry Hill, followed by the shambling figure of Jim Platt. the jailbird. It has been preceded by two hours of grim and repulsive realism, It is realism itself—with redemption added. And you are compelled to bow to the absolute truth of the play’s story. It leaves you with something of a pang in your heart, yet with something of exul- tation as well. The play is splendidly played by Mrs. Fiske, by Holbrook Blinn and by the has ever been presented to her public. It is impressively produced by Harrison 1Grey. Fiske. “In many respects it Is ee j most notable play of the year. Having seen it you will never ASRS

CRUWD IN SPELL Mme. Louise Homer Appears at Her Best at Coliseum Festival. SCORES IN AN. ARIA Audience Approves Her Solo From Meyerbeer’s “Le Prophete” and a Duet.

Mme. Louise Homer was the bright star at Monday evening’s Music Festi- val concert at the Coliseum. She ap- peared in a@ program of much merit, every number of which was well ren- dered and received generous and ap- preciative applause. The St. Louis Festival Chorus was first heard in the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's oratorio, “The Messiah.” The tremendous volume of melody flow- ing from hundreds of throats, augment- ed by the New York Symphony Orches- tra, filled the great auditorium and held the audience breathless. The sing- ing reflected credit on tHe musical abil- ity of St. Louis as well as on the skill and patience of James T. Quarles, who trained the chorus. Mr. Damrosch, who led the orchestra, was in great spirits. He generously shared the applause with his musicians and the local singers and seemed to feel that credit was due everyone who aided in the concert. Chorus singing has seldom been done better anywhere than at the Coliseum in Handel’s great masterpiece Monday night. Mme, Homer Scores in Aria, The orchestra was then heard in the overture of Weber’s “Der Freischuetz”’ as a prelude to Mme. Homer’s appear- ance as a soloist. She sang an aria from Meyerbeer’s ‘‘Le Prophete’’ and she had captivated her audience before she sang a dozen notes. Indeed, her appearance was distinctly in her favor, fur she has a pleasing personality and is devoid of affectation. She has a voice of tremendous volume, but of great sweetness and resonance. Apparently. without effort she poured forth melody, high notes and low ones with equal ease and all the time she seemed to be saying: “You are my friends and if my singing pleases you i am glad of it and I am very willing indeed to give you what enjoyment I can.’’ As an encore Mme. Homer gave an aria from Saint-Saens’ opera, ‘Samson and Delilah.”” She sang so well that the listeners were loath to let her go. Herr Gustav Holmquist was not s0 successful with ‘Danny Deever” as set to music by Damrosch. His enuncia- tion was poor and those sitting at a distance, -even if familiar with iHip- ne’s weird poem, found it difficult to follow the singer. This was the more surprising as the tune furnished by Mr. Damrosch is one that shouid noz interfere with perfée-t articulation. Reed Miller in Good Form, Rossinin’s ‘‘Stabat Mater’’ composed the second part of the program. Mme. a iaeceeesl ceatineeadaale ———

(Ammen ne a MANY CASES OF PARALYSIS ARE CURABLE This Kansas City Man Gives the Tonic. Treatment Entire Credit for his Recovery. There are still people who say that no form of partial paralysis can be cured. If you have partial paralysis or some other severe nervous disorder, do you think it is better to be treated by someone who insists that you are in- durable, or to take a treatment that grateful patients throughout the Uni- ted States testify has cured them? Mr. J. B. Stinson, of No. 1740 Madi- son avenue, ‘Kansas City, Mo., says: “Tn November, 1908, I was taken sick with severe pains through my chest and in the region of my heart. One morning, while working in the field, I was taken. with worse pains than ever and before I could get ck to the house, my legs seemed to paralyzed and I could just hobble _— and had to be helped up the steps. was in bed for over two years and #20 helpless that I had to be turned over.

fectly, the work of the ois eee notably fine. Mr. Miller made a much more favorable impression than he aid at his first appearance the night before. He» was thoroughly master’of his art and his task at all times. Mme. Rider-Kelsey, who has made hundreds of friends in St. Louis at her appearance with the Apollo Club, added to her laurels again in her solo work and also in the duet with Mme. Homer, in which .both vocalists were captivat- ing.

TO EARN LIVING Winner of M. A. C. Event Will Become Professional Dis- tance Runner.

CONFIDENT OF HIMSELF

Iron Molder Says Boys Un- der 20 Should Not Under- take Severe Strain.

Joseph Erxleben, the 20-year-old iron molder whe won the M. A. C, Marathon last Saturday, has given up his job in a foundry in Carondelet with the in- tention of becoming a professional Mar- athon runner. He is entered for a number of races here and in’ places near here this summer. ing in these he will go to New York in September to make long-distance running his means of livelihood. “I have to work for my living,” he said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tues- day, “and I believe I can make more out of Marathon running than anything else. If there had not been such a wind Saturday, I believe confidently that I could have finished in 10 minutes better time. That would have given me a record better than Dorando, Hayes or St. ¥ves has made. I believe I can beat them all. Erxleben has been running for a year. He came seventh last summer in the ¥. M. C. A.’s 10-mile run. That aroused his ambition, and since then he has thought of little else. He has trained | consistently and steadily ever since. He does not smoke, chew-or drink, and is in perfect physical condition all the time. Marathon Distance Is Strain, In talking of training for a Marathon Erxieben said: “A Marathon runner must be very careful. I do not believe that anyone should enter a Marathon unless he has had five or six months of careful training. Otherwise he is apt to seriously affect his heart or other vital organs. It is a severe strain, and when you are not in perfect cendition the strain overworks the entire system and serious results are apt to follow. .“I do not believe those whe want. to become Marathon runners should start in the game. before they are 20. Before that time they have net ebtained their growth and the tendency of the hard training ig to overdevelop some parts of the body.and leave others not true to the’ balance, It is the same as with these children acrobats on the stage. They are able to do extraordinary things by. starting in early, but they are short lived and frequently become muscle beund early in life. | Race Lost Near Finigh, ‘It’s an interference with nature to do anything very strenuous when you are young. My 16-year-old brother wanted te run in last Saturday’s Marathon with me, but I would not let him, He is too young and I'was afraid it might hurt him. : “I was in perfect condition last Satur- day, as T had practically trained for a whole year. But even when you are in good condition you can never tell what is going to happen to you. Up in Chicago lately in the indoor Marathon I was caught by the cramps at 28 miles. “I was two laps ahead of.the field at that peint, but the cramps were so se vere that they doubled me up and dragged me to the ground. I got up and tried walking, hoping the cramps would leave me. They became worse and I Started running again. I walked and ran alternately as best I could the last three miles, but the others came up on me and the best I could do was third.”’ Erxleben ig the gon of Charles Erx- leben of 7519 Alaska avenue. He has two older and two younger brothers. Her- man, 18, is already entered in races this summer, and Henry, 11, told a Post- Dispatch reporter at the family home Tuesday that he is going to become a Marathon runner when he grows up.

I am in favor of putting the prohibi- tion resolution to a vote at the earliest possible moment. My intention has been and still is to vote for it without the Conran amendment. With the ex- ception of Springfield and Nevdda ail of my district is dry. A, L., Dranert (Dem.), Montgomery prohibition resolution straight. the Conran amendment fixing 1915 as the time when it shall go into effect should come off. W. S. Allee (Dem.), Nothing has happened opinion that prohibition is wrong and submission of the proposition should come through the initiative and refer- endum. Wallace Greene (Dem.), Jackson County: The tax amendment is the proper thing. There is a great deal of talk about a separate resolution pro- viding for the submission of an amend- ment to increase taxes. Others opposed to the tax rider contend that the Leg- islature can raise enough money. to meet the great loss in revenue that would be entailed by reason of the “absolute suppression of the liquor traf- fic. The history of this Legislature Miller County: to change my fought to be sufficient amswer to the latter proposition. We have ‘been try- ing for 90 days to pass a few revenue measures. Have we succeeded? The records of both houses spell defeat for practically every impertant revenue- raising proposition. The Committee on Constitutional Amendment, of which I am chairman, has studied this question thoroughly. We have given both sides long and ear- nest conideration. Every argument, every scrap of evidence for and against prohibition, has been welcomed. In the light of this fact, I say unhesitatingly we should not stand for the submission of the prohibition amendment unless we have some assurance the State is not to beceme bankrupt. The. proposi- tion suggested by the Constitutional Amendments Committee are fair. I think the prehibition claim that we need not bother about the revenue feature of the proposition at this time is inconsis- tent and unreasonable. E, A. Dowell (Dem.), Lewis County: I have about made up my mind to vote for the elimination of the Conran amendment and then vote for submis- sion. I do net think it would be wise to add the tax rider. 8S. C. Major (Dem.), Howard Coun- ty: The.suggestion of a tax rider is not unfair. I cannot say at this time in just what form:I shall vote for the prohibi- tion resolution. Fred 8. Hudsen (Rep.), Livingston County: If we are to have prohibition the tax rate must be increased. It seems to me the Committee’s recommendations should be followed. John M, Grimes (Rep.), Barry Coun- ty: I am against the tax rider. to the people straight and let them vote squarely for or against prohibition. Holmes Hall (Rep.), Pettis: Hav- ing the initiative and referendum, I do not think the prohibitionists or those who are demanding the submission 6f the state-wide prohibition amendment should ask relief from the Legislature. I am against the whole thing. Under no circumstances shbuld the amend- ment be submitted without a tax rider. George Humphrey (Dem.), Shelby County: My position ts not fully deter- mined. I thought the bill which I. intro- duced providing for statutory prohibi- tion was the proper solution of the question. However, if the people demand the submission o a constitutional amendment, let th have it. It is dif- ficult to say whether a tax amendment would be wise or unwise. There is one thing, however, I do feel certain of. If prohibition is carried in this State, St. } Louis will never be a dry town. It will be able to get all the wet goods it wants across the river, and the State of Missouri, at least along the Missis-

JEFFERSON CITY, May 4)—As the result of a conference with Gov) Hadley, Republican and Democratic leaders in the General Assembly have agnheed to pass a measure to increase the) license of St. Louis saloons $200 a year, and that of dramshops in other parts of the State $100 a year. The measure is expected to increase the State revenue $650,000 a year. Sen- ator McDavid, who originated the meas- ure, proposes that every saloon outside of St. Louis shall pay a State license of $150 every six months, or $300 a year. Under the present law the coun- ties in the State exact a State license of from $260 to $400 a year.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 4—‘“I expect to return to the East with my husband and my son, Eldredge,’’ said Mrs. Nettie Shaw, wife of James F. Shaw of Boston yesterday afternoon, when she disregarded the instructions of her attorneys and talked about the affair resulting from her elopement with Keno Marble, the Shaw chauffeur, two years ago. “IT received a telegram today,” she said, ‘‘which has put an altogether dif- ferent aspect on this terribfe affair, and everything will be straightened out be- fore long. (Yes, the message was from Mr. Shaw. Never mind what he said. I know now that I have made a great mistake, and I am going to do all in my power to rectify the wrong I have done. I think I’d better say nothing more at present.”’ _Chief of Police Ross said he believed the separation from Eldredge, who is be- ing held at the Chief's homé, has had more to do with bringing Mrs. Shaw to her senses than anything else. “She comes to see Eldredge every day,” he said, “and seems very much wrapped up in him. I bebieve if a reconciliation is impending it is due to her own efforts and her desire to have Eldredge with her all the time.”’ LL AA LOLOL ty Fy, en ile ttn ete Ate illite tia Summer Underwear FOR MEN FOR BOYS Fit, wear and real summer comfort—Freedom in action.

ST. LOUISANS SARCASTIC eee World Is’ Full of Contradic- tions to His Statement, Says: Mrs. Dwight Tredway.

‘ Emanations from universities which by frequent from startle society their unconvention- Chicago, tut the latest comes from very near Boston, being the promulgation of the opinion by Dr. Dudley 8S. Sargent, head of the Heminway Gymnasium at Harvard, that woman is not beautiful after 18 and not brainy until 25. Dr. Sargeni’s denial of brains to all ality are | Women under 2% and beauty to all wom- en over 18 is received with derisive mirth by St. Louis representatives of the sex, who know better, though opin- ions differ as to particular points in the argument. Mrs. Harry W. Blodgett, wife of the United States District Attorney, says it epends upon the woman. “I think that beauty and brains were orn, not made,” says Mrs. Plodgett. “Tf either is born in a woman you can fix no set periods for development or cessation. I was reading the other day that woman is the only thing in crea- tion that man has been unable to civ- ilize. Perhaps Dr. Sargent thinks that way. “Mr. Eledgett sometimes says he thinks woman is nature’s fundamental blunder. I really have no definite opin- lon of a man who expresses such an opinion as Dr. Sargent. seems to have expressed.”’ Mrs, Dwight Tredway of 5142 Washing- ton boulevard, who is prominent in the Wednesday Club, laughed merrily when Dr. Sargent’s statement was presented to her. “It is too absurd for argument,” said Mrs. Tredway. “I certainly. believe beauty and brains are entirely compati- ble, and that a woman may péssess both at 18 and after 2. Don’t you think. so yourself? The world is full of contra- dictions of Dr. Sargent. I don’t think ne believes what he says. No doubt he made his statement just to arouse con- troversy. It is really amusing. “IT agree in the main with Dr. Sar- gent’s second proposition,” said Mrs. Philip Bond Fouke of 306 North New- Stead avenue, oné of the younger ria- trons. ‘‘When he says that no woman has brains or mentality until she ceacha- es 2 he méans, I think, that balance and judgment which reduire years and experience to develop. I think a woman doesn’t acquire any great amount of what we call poise until she is aboyt % years old. The years prior to that are merely preparatory. “When a girl is 18 she may have a certain sort of physical beauty, but she lacks that mental development which is possible to a woman of 25 or more. It may be true that women lose a part of their freshness after 18, but I think brains develop beauty. Features ard coloring may decHne somewhat in beatty, but mental development will make even a plain face beautiful.”’ Mrs.’ Louise Marion McCall of 4223 Maryland avenue speaks a little scorn- fully of the Harvard gymnasium direc- tor. She says it is very difficult to at- tempt to reply to such a statement as is attributed to Dr. Sargent about women. “I really don't know what Dr. Sargent means by his statement,” she Says. “What sort of beauty does he refer to? There is physical beauty and there +s spiritual beauty. There is beauty of the intellect. I see nothing incompati- ble in a woman being both beautiful and intelligent, regardless of years.”’ Several Boston women, who, as gym- nasium directors, have excellent oppor- tunity to study physical beauty in wom- an, took issue with Dr. Sargent when interviewed. ‘IT take exactly the opposite view,’’ said Miss Grace M. Gilman, acting direc- tor of the Boston Woman's Gymnasium. “Beauty, in my opinion, demands some- thing more than mere regularity of features; it means intelligence and poise and experience such as cannot develop in young girls. As to personality and brains meaning the loss of beauty, it’s .just ridiculous.” Miss Mary E. Allen of the Allen gym- nasium, said: “If I were to try to place the period of greatest beauty in women I would say it comes between and 4. Almost. without exception, the most beautiful women I have known have been over 2.”’ Miss Hill, physical instructor at Wel- lesiey, said: “Dr. Sargent’s statements have lowered him a great deal in my estimation. They are utterly uncalled for, and I cannot understand how he could have made them.” eae tetitetttaanits BOER WAR ROMANCE AT ALTAR PITTSBURG, Pa., May 4.—A romance pegun during the Boér Wat was con- cluded by the arrival of ‘Miss Louise or of Liverpool.

No man ever proposed to a woman at the right time nor in the right place.

Just as he would rather put his cigarette ashes in the rose-jar or the pin-tray than in the ash- receiver, and his feet on the divan than on the floor, so he would.rather make his love in the wrong place than in the most perfect ‘courting flat’ especially designed for it.’”’ ‘“Humph!”’ remarked the Bachelor, dis- gustedly. ‘“‘Whoever heard of a ‘flat’ especially designed for love-making?

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 outlaws. President Bucks sends Whi ing Smith into the country with a free hand to clean out the outlaws. cCloud boards with Marion Sin- clair (Murray’s neglected wife), is a milliner at Medicine Bend. Smith is in love with Marion. Valiey. been i. ship. An express car is rob of $65,000 and messenger killed at Tower W. 'Whisper- ing Smith and rty trail the robbers into the mountains, iscovering finally that they have taken refuge in Williams Cache, an outlaw rendezvous. Du Sang is killed. two of his companions captured in a fizht and the Cache is cleaned cut. CHAPTER XXXI. A Midnight Visit. . HP lights, but one, were out. Mc- Cloud and Whispering Smith had gone, and Marion was lock- ing up the house for the night, when she was halted by a knock at the shop door. It. was a summons that she thought she knew, but the last In the world that she wanted to hear or to answer. Dicksie had gone to the bedroom, and standing between the portieres that curtained the work- room from the shop, Marion in the half-light listened, hesitating wheth- er to ignore or to answer the mid- night intruder. ‘But experience, and bitter experience, had taught her there was only one way to meet that particular summons, and that was to act, whether at noon or at midnight, witbout fear. She waited until the knocking had -been twice repeated, turting up the light, and going to the door drew the bolt; Sinclair stood be fore her, and she drew back for him to enter. “Dicksie Dunning is with me tonight,’’ said Marion, with her hand on the latch, “and we shall have to talk here.” Sinclair took off his hat. “I knew you had company,” he returned in the low, gentle tone that Marion knew very well, “so I came late. And I heard tonight, for the first time, that this railroad crowd is after me—God knows why; but they have to earn their salary somehow. I.want to keep out of trouble if I can. I won't kill anybody if they don’t force me to it. They’ve scared nearly all my men away from the ranch already; one crippled-up cowboy is all I have got to help me look after the cattle. But I won't quarrel with them, Marion, if I can get away from here peaceably, sO I've come to talk it over once more with you. I'm going away andI want ren to go with me; I've got enough to eep us as well as the best of them and as long as we live. You’ve given me a good lesson. I needed it girlie” “Don’t call me that!” He~ laughed kindly. “Why, that’s what it used to be; that’s what I want it to be again. I don’t blame you. You're worth all the women I ever knew, Marion. I’ve learned to, appreciate some few things in the lonely months I’ve spent up on the Frenchman; but I’ve felt while I was there as if I were working for both of us. I've got a buyer in ght now for the cattle and the land. I’m ready to clean up and say good-by to trouble —all I want is for you to give me the one chance I’ve asked for and g0 along.” ‘ : They stood facing each other under the dim: light. She listened intently to every word, though in her terror she might not have heard or under- stood ail of them. One thing she did very clearly understand, and that was why he had come‘and what he wanted. To that she held her mind tenaciously, and for that she shaped her answer. I cannot go with you—now or ever.” He waited a moment. “We always got nlong, Marion, when I behaved myself.” “I hope you always will behave yourself; but I could no more go with you than I could make myself again what I was years ago, Murray. I wish you nothing but good; but our ways parted long ago.” ‘Stop and think a minute, Marion. I offer you more and offer it more honestly than I ever. offered it before, ause I know myself better. I am alone in the world—strong, and better able to care for you than I was when undertook to” ; “I have never complained.” ‘That's what makes me more anx- ious to show you now that I can and will do what's right.” | Or, you multiply words!. It is too late for you to here. You.are in anger, you say; for the love of heaven, leave me and go away!” ‘You know me, Marion, when my mind is made ¥p- I won't leave with- out you.’ He leaned with one hand &gainst the ribbon showcase. “If you don't want to go I will stay right here and pay off the scores I owe. men here have stirred this coun- up too long, anyway.

It is your chance to end everything; it may save several lives if you do. I won't leave McCloud here to crow over me, and, by God, I won’t leave you here for Wiispering Smith! I'll settle with him anyhow. Take the pistol! What are you afraid of? Take it! I don’t want to live without you. | you make me do it, you're to blame for the consequenes.” She stood with wide-open eyes, but uttered no word. “You won’t touch it—then you care a little for me yet,” he murmured. - “No! Do not say so. But I will not do murder.” “Think about the other, then. Go with me and everything will be all right. I will come. back some evening soon for my answer. And until then, if those two men have any use for life, let them keep in the clear. I heard tonight that Du Sang is killed. Do you know whether it is true?’ “It is true.’’ An oath half escaping showed how the confirmation cut him. “And Whis- pering Smith got away!

I'll choose my own ground for the finish when they want it with me, and when I go I'll take company—lI'll promise you that. Goodnight, Marion.

She put out the lighi and felt her way blindly back to the workroom, She staggered ‘through it, clutching at the curtains, and fell in the darkness into Dicksie’s arms. “Marion, dear, don’t speak,” Dicksie whispered. “I heard everything. Oh, Marion!” she. cried, suddenly con- grit, girl!

UGHEY JENNINGS and his ter- IH rible Tigers arrived in St. Louis this morning to begin a series of five games against the Browns this af- ternoon. It is the first appearance of the champions ‘tn the city this season and the whole town is aroused, for never were two clubs greater rivals than are the Tigers and Browns. Many of the fans and critics believe the pennant this’ year will be won by ‘One or the other of the two teams and the Browns feel they must make a stand against the Tigers in this series. Jennings’ team is a bit crippled to open the series today. George Moriarity, the third baseman who has so strength- ened the Tigers this spring, is suffering with a sore arm and Jennings an- nounced this morning that he- would probably have to keep him out of the game for a day or two, using Charley O'Leary, shortstop of last season, in his place. Moriarity was a prominent factor in beating the Browns in both games played last week up in ‘Detroit, for his hitting and baserunning have been superior to what he ever showed while a member of the New York Club. Iio stole: home in the last game the Browns played up there and he did the same trick once before this spring. Hither Summers, or Works will pitch for the Tigers toaay. George Mullin, the eminent spit-ball ®h rower, will be the twirler tomorrow. Both Summers and Works have defeated the Browns jalready this year, Manager McAleer of the Browns will put either Rubé Waddell or Bill Gra- ham in the pitcher’s box a Rube Moriarity Laid Up With Sore Arm and St. Louis Boys Are Eager for Battle.

The Browns are keyed up for this series with the Tigers as they haven't been yet this season. won both games up in Detroit if luck had not been against them. However, the weather was bad and their spirits were low. Yesterday they were given two hours of batting practice and in the afternoon rested, attending the Car- dinals-Reds game for recreation, so to- day they are on edge for the big game with the Tigers. Detroit has been going at a terrific pace all spring. The champs have lost but four games and won 12. The Browns have won but four games and lost 10. There’s quite a difference there, but there isn’t much difference in the class of the two teams. Jennings has a team of great hitters, speedy base runners and plays a daring game. McAleer has a strong hitting club, one that is slow on the bases, but powerful in defense and brainy baseball and plays a safe game. The Tigers were stopped yesterday by the Chicago White Sox, who shut them out with Doc White pitching. Good

Tigers Crippled for Opening Game With Browns Today; Rube Waddell to Pitch pitching and gocd catching should beat the Tigers more than half of the time. A weak pitcher against them hasn't a chance, however, because Detroit relies en winning games with the bat. Waddell, Graham, Bailey and Powell will do the pitching in the present series. There’s a chance that. Harry Howell will pitch one game, for Harry Was working out yesterday with as much speed as he ever had in His life. If his arm will stand it, he may twirl one of the games against the Tigers. Rube, Graham and Bailey are in fine shape. Lou Criger will do nearly all of the catching. There is sure to be good pitching and good catching,: and if anything will beat Detroit, that kind of baseball will. A big crowd*is suré to be at Sports- man’s Park each day. Detroit is the biggest drawing card ef them all. The Tigers play the kind of baseball that the fans love to see, but it is the kind that has made them hated by every fan in St. Louis, because it beat the Browns out of the pennant last year. It seems Detroit is stronger on the infield and has stronger pitchers than last season. The hitting is just as good. Ty Cobb, the champion batter, ‘hasn’t yet struck his Stride, but he is just as dar- ing as ever, and he stole second base twice on Lou Criger over in Detroit. Criger is determined to show him ‘iad in this series. The teams play today, Wathesday i Thursday. Friday is an open date and af will play again Saturday and Sun- ay. CUBAN CHESS PLAYER BEATS AMERICAN CHAMPION WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 4.—Jose R. Capablanca, the yeung Cuban chess expert, yesterday increased hig advan- tage over Frank J. Marshall, the vet- éran American champion, by defeating kim after 81 moves. This leaves the score at 4 games to 1 and 3 drawn, in favor of the Cuban player. The match is § gomes up. In the last game, which was played in the reoms of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association, Capablanca, white, opened with a Ruy Lopez and Marshall opposed with the Steinmetz defense. Marshall, champion, early got into dif- ficulty by placing his queen totally out of pisy in an effort to save one of ais weak pawns. With nis twenty-first meve Capablanca threatened both knight and king’s pawn, with the re- Fult that he wen the latter, posting his queen strengly for the attack. Two moves later, Marshall, rather than be driven back, essayed a counter thrust involving the sacrifice of the knight.

PARIS CHAMPION IS MATCHED 10 FIGHT FERGUSON ean een tr a AR “Sandy” of Chelsea Will Get a Chance at Joe Jeanette on May 15. BY JOHN POLLOCK, NEW YORK, May 4.—Sandy Fergu- gon, the Boston heavyweight, who sailed has al- ready been signed up for a fight onthe other side. He has been secured to mect Joe Jeanette, the colored fighter, for 20 rounds at a boxing show to take place before the Circue de Paris at Paris on Saturday evening, May 15. Jeanette is confident that he can beat Ferguson, and as seon as he heard that Ferguson had sailed for England he had his man- ager, Dan McKetrick, clinch the match. These big fellows ought to put up a rattling fast battle. Johnny Frayne, the clever California lightweight, is in excellent shape for his 10-round bout with Freddie Welsh, the English boxer, which takes place at the Fairmount A. C., on Friday night. Frayne has been working at Stratford, Cenn., with Joe Thomas. “I know if I can beat Welsh,”’ said Frayne, “that I will be in line for a battle with Battling Nelson and for that reason I am going to box by hardest in order to beat him.”’ Tom McCarey, the fight promoter of Los Angeles, has called off the pro- posed fight between Stanley Ketchel and Sam Langford, which was to have taken place in July and for which McCarey was willing to give Ketchel $10,000 and Langford $5000. McCarey says the rea- ‘s0n why he has dropped the match is because the managers of both fighters have been constantly demanding more money for the men’s services than he was willing to give. ‘Match for Fiyan, Jim Flynn, the aught heavyweight of Pueblo, Colo., who defeated Billy Papke in a 10-round bout at Los Angeles a short time ago, has been practically matched to meet Tony Caponi, the Italian middleweight of Chicago, for 10 rounds at the Pacific A. C. of Los Angeles on the night of May 18. I¢ the Caponi, for the latter’s showing in bouts around here was very bad. T. E. Jones, who was released as manager of Billy Papke, has taken an- other fighter under his management. He has secured Clarence English, the Kansas City welterweight, and hag al- ready matched him to box Jimmy Cab. by, the Milwaukee fighter, for 10 rounds at one of the clubs in the South. Clabby has won a few fights down there and is quite a drawing card. — JOE THOMAS KNOGKS OUT JIM WILLIAMS IN FOURTH SCHENECTADY, N. ¥., May 4.—~Joe Thomas, ex-welterweight . knocked out Jim Williams of Providence in the fourth round of a 10-round mij} before the American A.

ball departments of newspapers. Instead of a sporting department, from the number and character of inquiries reported daily at the otfice quarantine, the newspapers of today are evidently supposed to be equipped with explana- tion bureaus. FYollowing are samples of many ques- tions that are aimed at the gentlemen who are, to the unsophisticated, sup- posed to be clairvoyants expert on all baseball futures; and real Pattens in the matter of forcing the country “short” on baseball dope: “How do you account for the Browns. outplaying opponents and still being close to last place? Where will. they’ finish?’ “The Cardinals have been holding down the rear end of the National pro- cession but driving pitchers from the box daily. How do you explain it?” “Everyone of the ‘experts,’ with few exceptions, had Cleveland picked to win the pennant. Yet the Blues are miles from the front. How do you figure that?” Now if it’s explanations you want, fellow fans, you can make them for yourselves just as well as an ‘expert’ in the game, if you keep track of the news. Might one be permitted to suggest, how- ever, that it is only the start of the sea- son and not the finish? And that the race is som to the soctemne and not to the hare We have Mr. Aesop's word for that. the Browns are running in such an ignoble position, or why the Cardinals are so unmerciful to the ball with such indifferent results. But it seems like training a 13-inch gun on a swallow. And sure one swallow never made a summer—nor a dry county, wet. And, after all, we started out with the} weather man—he’s the one to finish it. Put the blame on his shoulders for things that require explanations. He's acting up Most unusual this year. ies atl Speaking of 13-inch guns, those Cardi- nals seem to have a full battleship equipment (ever hear of a full battle- ship?). True to their home records, they yesterday dismantled Fromme of the Reds and would doubtless have finished Mr. Karger, on whom they be- gan sé¢veral days ago, but from whom their attention was distracted. Karger yesterday was inoffensive, so they failed to train the artillery on him to any appreciable extent. It. is certainly a most unusual circumstance that, in all the games the Cardinals have played on the home grounds, it is still Minor Brown who holds the record of being the only pitcher to keep his place on the firing line throughout an entire en- gagement. amt | T would be easy to find reasons why The Cardinals are off for a long en- gagement on the road. During their stay in the city they have won the re- gard of fans through their faithful en- deavors to play right, even though fall- Ing some fathoms short of the ideal. Never once has the team showed signs of flagging, even with the most indif- ferent performances in the field recur- it deserves success and one cannot but wish Roger success on the long cam- paign which will keep the club from the city until June 4. The battleship of Mr. Bresnahan will surely be under fire ere its return. It participates in 28 engagements abroad and the number itself is suggestive of disaster. The Jolly Rogers attack the Pirates first, then Chicago and then bum around the Eastern circuit. It’s a long gruel and will be the supremest test of Bresnahan’s mer: the season af- fords. Jones: Why do the St. Louis baseball teams remind you of a thermometer? Smith: HBasy. They're going up by de- grees.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 4— Conservative members of the Episcopal Church, who object to the modern meth- ods used by the Rev. Sydney Goodman to recruit the large congregation he has built up for his “Men’s Church,” have temporarily closed the church, which is connected with the fashionable Church of the Ascension. The Rev. Mr. Goodman insists that the halt in his work is only temporary, and that it will be taken up again in the fall, on his return from a European trip. Orders to stop the giving out of cigars and pipes, and not to permit smoking at Sunday night services, came direct from Bishop John Scarborough of the South Jersey Diocese, and it is believed that he is also responsible for the order which has closed the Men’s Church. Dr. Goodman came here as assistant to Dr. Townsend two years ago. His first announcement that special Sunday night services for men would be held re- ceived but scant attention, until a later announcement that men who attended would not only be allowed to smoke, but would be furnished with cigars and pipe. In consequence, the church was ateantae to the doors. : es as — HEN you start up the steps, or walk in “hrough the. gate,—usually the first ‘part of a house you notice, is the Porch. you;—it’s like the platform of its pillars and its wings—you Recs the importance of having it attractively fin- ished and painted with the best paint possible. _ And by that we mean not only paint that pleases ae che eye, but paint that stands the wear of much - basing to and fro—day in and day out. oS asl you figure according to these standards—the best paint made 3 ‘Mound City’?

GERMANY TO BE FIRST Britons Chagrined That Conti- nental Country Will Get Demonstrations. Special Cablegram to the New York World and Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1909,-by the Press Pub. Co. LONDON, May 4—Trying to lionize sphynxes is a “tough proposition,” as the members of the British Aero Club and the London newspaper men have discovered in the case of the Wright brothers. Wilbur Wright has steadily refused to talk about himself, his achlevements, nis hopes or his experiences. Whenever .n interviewer has become pressing, his race has relaxed into a baffling smile that left nothing more to be said. Even socially the brothers’ hosts have found them equally reticent. Wilbur spoke only in monosyllables. Occasion- ally, to relieve the tension, Orville con- descended to communicate a few airy nothings. With a very impressive air Orville told one interviewer that England must “hustle” €f she ‘*vanted to be abreast of the aviatiun movement. On being esked if it would not be wiser for the British Government to buy aeroplanes which nave already flown than to con- tinue its own unsuccessful experiments, Orville Wright oracularly replied: Conference Kept Secret. “Naturally we should like to have them all to come te us.” ; The two brothers went to the war of- fice for a conference with Mr. Haldane, the Secretary of War, and Major-Gen- eral Sir Charles F. Hadden, master-gen- eral of ordnance. But they remained only half an hour, and neither Orville nor Wilbur Wrizint would say afterward whether or not any arrangement was made for experiments with their aero- planes in England. Intense chagrin was felt here on its becoming known that when the Wrights return to Europe after fulfilling a con- tract with the American Government their first engagement is to show the German Government what their- flying machines can do, New York Plans Reception. NEW YORK, May 4.—The reception of the Wright brothers in this country will not suffer by comparison with their treatment abroad, if the plans of the Aero Club of America, as announced last night; are fulfilled. When Wilbur and Orville Wright, with their sister, Miss Katherine, arrive at New York, probably May 14, they will be met down the bay by representatives of the Aero Club and the Aviation Com- mittee of the ee Club of Amer- ica, who will take fhem off the steamer at Quarantine and bring them up to the city. Here they will be tendered a re- ception at the Automobile Club or at a hotel and, so far as the plans have thus far matured, a dinner will be given to them at which distinguished persons will be invited to speak. President Taft -will present to the brothers the’Aero Club’s medal in the East Room at the White House at Washington, June 10. The club will es- cort the noted aviators to Washington ‘n @ special train. Immediately after the presentation the Wrights will be- gin the trials for a Government contracts DE LA VAULX INJURED IN MAKING A LANDING Copyright, 4.900. (New PARIS, May seilles, printed in the evening newspa- pers, reports that a serious accident happened to Count Henry de la Vaulx yesterday at Arles. According to this report the Count was making a land ing from his balloon in a violent wind, was thrown from the basket and one of his legs was broken. Leon Barthou, his companion, is said to have been hurt. but less seriously. At Count de la Vaulx’s home in Paris. at 120 Avenue Des’Champs Elysees, no word of any accident had been re- ceived, and the report was believed to be a mistake. At the Aero Club, of which the Count ts a leading member, the dispatch was doubted, no report of such an occurrence having been re- ceived there, Count de la Vaulx left Paris in a bal- loon Sunday with M.

The old trapeze stunts known in cir- cus literature as ‘“‘desperately danger- ous displays of unrivaled aerialism across the yawning chasm,’’ dp not ex- cite the ‘‘ohs’’ and “‘ahs’’ they did since the arrival of the somersaulting auto- mobiles except from the most unsdphis- ticated. They are performed to music and are performed in time and rythm much as you would waltz, and if there should be a slip the element of fear has been eliminated by the net spread be- neath them. There is more ginger in the old-fashioned chariot races that wind up the show. Circus Acts Are Imported. Almost without exception the best of the.circus acts today come from across the Atlantic. The ground acro- bats and the trapeze performers are Austrians, Hungarians or Sweitzers. They don’t make acrobats in this country now as they did in the earlier days of the circus when every “sawdust town’ in Michigan and Wis- consin turned out its quota of tumblers from boys who practiced tumbling in the sawdust heaps about the sawmills. The Barnum & Bailey show this year has almost 100 acts going on im rings, on the stagés and aloft in the rig- sing during an unusually long per- formance. The show moves with a decided snap and go for. tte beginning o: the season. Costumes are fresh and pretty. Women riders and acrobats are pretty and skiliful. Horses are spirited Vell trained, well alwavs. Thre morngerie is about the best see:: ‘ere for several] sensons, the four gi- raffes are cxceptional material scidom seen in other sh»ws. when their noses are stuck through the roofs of their wagons.
