The photo was taken to Police Head- quarters, and later Miles was arrested in front of a poolroom at Thirteenth street and Franklin avenue.

KING OF ENGLAND BECOMING DECREPIT; SHOWS A TEMPER; TOUR WITH QUEEN CUT SHORT His Face Is Drawn, Complexion Ashen-Gray, Eyes Dull; Walks With Great Effort. ‘Copyright, 1909, by the Press Pub. Co. LONDON, May 8.—King Edward may not be suffering from a dangerous ail- ment, but he is fast becoming decrepit. Recently he has undergone a marked change, and he looks much older than his years. plexion is ashen-gray, his eyes have lost their alertness. The King walks with great effort, leaning heavily on his stick. cent tour with Queen Alexandra and her sister, the Dowager Empress of Mussia, proved so trying to his temper that he cut the journey short at Naples and fled to Paris to find amusement. The attitude of the Dowager Empress toward her brother-in-law is not sooth- ing to him. Plainly but. mutely it con- demngs him for neglecting his wife and devoting himself te other ladies. While the party was at Malta the King was in a very bad temper. He gave the Governor a sound rating for allowing the guard of honor to wear khaki uniform, which the King de- tests. The King was disgusted by the chaotie He said those who knew the frightful conditions there should not have permitted him to visit the ruined city.

JUDGE ASKS PARDON eee ae 3 Slaying of Planter Ended 20 Years of Unspeakable Parental Cruelty: Special to, tre Post-Disvatch. FORT WORTH, Tex., May 8.—Ste- phen Beasiey began today the serving of a five years’ sentence in the Texas Stafe prison for slaying his father. He need not have gone to prison, for every man, from judge to jury, tried_to‘ set him free, But fhe chose prison to save his sister the humiliation of telling the reason for his crime. The slaying was done in the elder Beasley’s cottom field a week and a half ago. It ended 20 years of such parental cruelty as has been seldom known in a civilized land. Beasley, the father, was wealthy. His cotton and yam fields extended for miles along the outskirts of Fort Worth. But he never hired a man to till them. He forced his wife and five children to be his farmhands, and since they could first hold a hoe, not one has re- membered a day when he or she was not driven to work by the whip if nec- essary. Three of these children were girls, and on these Beasley vented his tyranny even more than on the boys. Neighbors had known for years that none of them came home from the fields at night without a whipping, and screams from the house at night told plainly the story of a mother beaten because she had been caught comforting her children after the father had sent them bleeding to bed. Forced to Flee From Home. Two weeks ago the wife was forced to flee for shelter to a neighbor's, and the son, Stephen, ran away from -the torture to take work with another farmer near by. The next day one of the daughters, not yet 16 years. old, es- eaped from the father’s watch upon her and, staggering to the farmhouse where her mother was living, told a story of her father having done her the greatest possible wrong, ang of his having threat- ened her with death if she revealed it. The mother sent word to Stephen, the elder son. When his work in the fields was finished next day the lad took down his rifle and walked to his father’s farm, where he hid behind a wall. When Beasley appeared, riding a horse from a distant part of his plantation, his son shot him. The other brother and the sisters ran from the house to find Beasley lying dead among the cotton sprouts, while Stephen walked slowly down the road. The same afternoon he gave himself up, declaring himself guilty of slaying his father. Refuses to Indict. A grand jury was summoned, but aft- er the mother had told her story it re- fused to indict. Stephen would have been set free on the spot, but Prosecutor Roy declared he must be brought to tral. “I want this man liberated—he ought to be—with the*thanks of the commun!i- ty,”” said Roy. “But he must be brought to trial or he will always be in peril— until he ig legally acquitted. If he is brought to trial I will use my influence as Prosecuting Attorney to save him.” So a second grand jury was called. The mother, who was ill, was unable tu give her testimony and Stephen was indicted for murder in the first degree and brought to trial, There was not the slightest doubt of Stephen’s acquittal. The crowd in the courtroom was there simply to cheer him and proclaim him a hero when he was set free. But at the last moment Stephen had heard that if his trial went on his sister would be forced to take the stand. He broke from the of- ficers as he was brought into court, and, thrusting aside his lawyer, shouted:) Demands Being Sent to Prison. “I Killed my father. I plead guilty to mansiaughter—and I want to be sent to prison without a trial.”’ The Judge, astounded, advised the Prisoner to recall his plea. “I plead guilty,” persisted the boy. Forced by the law to accept the plea or try the lad on a charge of murder in the first degree, the Judge sent out the jury with an order to bring in a verdict of guilty. But while they were making a pretense of deliberation the Judge went privately to the jury room ‘and told them the story of the crime. When they came in every man was vis- ibly affected. Several were in tears. “I sentence you to five years in State’s prison,’ pronounced the Judge, “but I will be the first to sign a peti- tion for your immediate pardon.” “I also will sign the petition,’ said the Prosecuting Attorney, and then all the jurors came forward and put their names to a petition for pardon. . But the boy went to prison today. TT “Ol a OUND GUILTY ON FIRST BALLOT Convicted of Aiding and Abet- ting Whitla Kidnaping, Woman Is Stoical. NEW TRIAL TO BE ASKED Motion Expected to Be Over- ruled and Couple Sen- tenced Monday. MERCER, May 8.—The jury in the trial of Mrs. James H. Boyle returned a verdict of “gulity as indicted in the second count.’’ The second count charged her with aiding and abetting the kidnaping of Willie Whitla of Shar- on, Pa. The verdict was reached on the first ballot. The jury retired at 11:40, but court immediately adjourned and the verdict was not reported until 1:30 p. m. ‘when court convened ‘after the noon recess. Manifesting the same stoical indif- ference to her :fate which has char- acterized her throughout her trial, Mrs, Boyle sat immovable as the ver- dict was read. A heavy veil which she has worn throughout the trial, con- cealed her features, so that it could not be seen whether her color changed, but there was not } ovement of her body to indicate ce, she so much as heard her doom pronounced. Her indifference was even more pro- nounced than it has been in preceding portions -of the trial. Courtroom Crowded. During the noon recess it became known that the jury had agreed upon a verdict, but court had adjourned till 1:30 p. m. and until that hour no in- timation could be had of what the ver- dict was. The courtroom was crowd- ed almost to suffocation when the jury filed in at 1:30 and the foreman announced they had agreed, The crowd in the courtroom was warned that no demonstration would tolerated and the verdict was read in silence. Quietly as if preparing to go out for a walk, Mrs,..Boyle drew on her i. gloves, arose from her chair and went with the Sheriff back to her cell. Judge Miller, Mrs. Boyle’s attorney has .an- nounced that he will make a motion on Monday for a new trial. It is believed here that the motion will be overruled and that both Boyle and his wife will be sentenced Monday. The penalty in Boyle’s case is from 1 year in the penitentiary to a life tentence and in Mrs. Boyle’s case the maximum is 25 years. “Life in the penitentiary will kill me ina week or ten days and rather than submit to this I would kill my- self,”’ said Mrs. Boyle this morning. Half Not Told, She Says, Like her husband, she is anxious to tell more than has been brought out in the trial of herself or her hus- band regarding the kidnaping of Wil- lie Whitla. “If Jimmie and I are sent to the penitentiary,” she said, ‘‘we will not go alone. Others will go. with us or join us there soon. Half the truth has not yet been told in this case. One other man who planned the whole affair has not been arrested. ‘T am willing. to suffer for any crime I may have committed, but there is no evidence that I’ have been mixed up in this case and rather than suffer injustice from the court I will quit this earth and take justice from my maker.” Eight Poiats of Law. The address of Attorney Miller, coun- sel for Mrs. Boyle to the jury was be- gun at 9:30 o’clock. He presented to the Court eight points of law, which he asked to have submitted to the jury. in substance, they were to the effect that a crime could only be punished in the »urisdiction where it was committed and that in the pending caxer there had been no testimony to show that Mrs.. Boyle had committed any overt act in Mercer County in connection with the abduction of the Whitla boy. Instruc- tions to the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty were asked. ; Attorney Miller intimated that power- ful influences were being brought to bear to convict the woman and there were veiled refefences to the suppres- sion of the efforts of the Boyles to bring into the case the name of a third per- son. Miller’s address occupied an hour and he was followed by Quincy Adams Gordon, for the prosecution.

VHOIMAS CO, AK: Cf Lae VETO SOUGHT FOn SALOON LICENSE TRANSFER BILL meme “ome Ot tare From a Staff hte ae of. the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, May . §-—Gov. Hadley will be urged by members of the Legislature, regardless of party, to veto a bill just passed permitting the assignment or transfer of dramshop ii- censes in the city of. St. Louis. Under the terms. of the pro- posed law, any St. Louis dram- shop keeper, anticipating a revova- tion of his license, could have it trans- ferred to another person, thereby de- feating the very purpose of the excise statutes, opponents of the measure say. Representatives Pemberton (Dem.) of Beone, Stanley (Rep.) of Webster and other leaders say they voted for the bill under a misapprehension. “IT was deceived .regarding the pur- pose of this law,’’ declared Mr. Pem- berton today. “‘Mr. Foristel of St. Louis explained that it was designed to aid the wife or heirs of a saloon keeper who had died by allowing them to con- tinue his business. We are willing to stand for a reasonable measure, but this is rank, and I am going to ask the Governor not to sign it.” Moves to Reconsider, Immediately after the measure passed the House, Representative Spence (Dem.) of Stoddard County declared he had not understood it. He moved to reconsider. At the request of a mem- ber from St. Louis, Pemberton agreed to defer his motion. Spence failed to take up the matter again, and Speaker Speer signed the bill. Spence explained to a Post-Dis- patch reporter that, as his county had no saloons, the bill could make no dif- ference to him. “IT don’t think it is a good bill,” na added, “but nobody from St. Louis Hae ge A similar bill was cand by former Excise Commissioner Mulvihill two years ago on the ground it was calculated to destroy the power of the Excise Com- missioner over saloons. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, leader of the temperance forces, says that if this. bill becomes a law it will make 50,000 additional votes in the State for prohibition. Sweeping Provisions. Section 1 of the proposed law con- tains its sweeping provisions as fol- lows: . Any dramshop license granted un- der the provisions of the dramshop laws in cities that now er hereafter may have three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) inhabitants or more may be assigned and transferred by delivering it up for cancellation to the Excise Commissioner, and filing a petition in such form as may be provided by the commissioner for . the re-issue thereof; and if the per- son or persons to whom. it be re- quested it be re-issued has or have all the legal qualifications provided by law, and is or are fit, compe- tent and legally qualified person or persons to have a dramshop license, MVRULO | PORTMAN T. —_— Coe e eo? @ THOMAS J. ANINS |: HAS BEEN NAMED ORPOST MASTER _homas J, Akins was appointed .Post- waster at 8t. Louis by President Taft Saturday, according to Asociated Press dispatches from Washington. He will succeed Frank Wyman, who incurred the enmiry of the St. Louis Republican machine because he would not permit Jeptha D. Howe to dictate his appoint- ments. Mr. Akins is, sub-treasurer. of the United States at St. Louis, and was, until last fall, Republican National Committeeman from Missouri. As Na- tional Committeeman he threw all of his support to Taft for the Republican presidential nomination, and was one of the potent factors in lining up Mis- souri for Mr. Taft. Summoned to Capital. Mr. Akins was summoned to Wash- ‘ington a few days ago to confer with President Taft, Senator Warner, Secre- tary Nagel and Postmaster-Goneral Hitchcock. Local Republican politicians did not expect the appointment of Mr. Wyman's successor to be made un- til the return of Congressman. Barth- oldt to Washington. Mr. Bartholdt is here now, having been in consultation with local Republican leaders for two days on the postmastership. The local organization préferred Hen- ry W. Kiel for postmaster, but took no forma! action. Mr. Kiel is now chair- man of the Republican City Committee. Whitelaw Subtreasurer. When ‘Boss’ Howe and his associ- ates were making 4 hard fight a year ago to have Wyman ousted they brought forward Oscar L. Whitelaw as their candidate for his successer. As soon as Mr. Taft was nominated the clamor in behalf of Mr. Whitelaw suddenly ceased and the bosses began looking around for some one more Closely identified with the political organizations. It is sald in Washington that Mr. Whitelaw will be appointed Subtreasurer to sticceed Mr. Akins. Mr. Akins will leave behind him in the Subtreasuret’s office a shortage ef $61,500. The responsibility for the shoft- age has never been definitely fixed, but Mr. Akins, being in charge of the of- fice, will have to pay it unless the relief pill, which has several times been de- feated in Congress, is passed. D. P. Dyer Jr. was tried in connection with the shortage and cleared of biame. Akins was backed by powerful politi- ca} influence in his effort’ to land the Postmastership. Mr. Akins was chatr- man of. the Republican State Comiit- tee for several years, and built up quite

President Taft felt very kindly to Mr. Akihs for the assistancs he rendered in his behalf tn the Missouri fight. As Postmaster Mr. Akins will receive $6000 & year, where he received but $6000 as sub-treasurer. It is reported from Wash- ington that the salary of the St. Louis Postmaster will be increased to $8000 a year. Despité the efforts of Mr. Taft, who was Secretary of War when the post- mastership fight first started in St. Louis, President ‘Roosevelt reappointed Mr. Wyman. Sénator Warner was in- strutiental fn having the Senate refuse to confirm the appointmenit. Postmaster Wyman was originally ap- pointed: through the-influence of his brother, Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon- @éneral of the. United States Marine Corps, who is a very close friénd of former President Roosevelt. He served one term of four years, but early in his administration incurred the. displeasure of the local Republican politicians be- cause he refused to allow them to use the postoffice ag a political asset. A constant warfare on Wyman has. been kept up for more than,two years. Two weeks ago President Taft announc- ed through Senato? Warner that Mr. Wyman would not be reappointed, and stated that he was réady to appoint his Sticcessor ag soon as the Republican leaders agreed tipon a man.

WASHINGTON, May 8.—Municipal ownership of the city gas plant has proven not only a profitable undertaking for Manchester, England, but econom- ical for the consumer as well. The city’s profits since the works were taken over 2 years ago have been $6,750,307, while the price of gas in the Manchester dis- trict at present is only 55 cents a thou- sand cubic feet, according to a report to the Bureau of Manufactures from Consul Howe. In addition to furnishing gas cheaper, the Manchester corporation has provid- ed free of charge gas stoves to all householders making requests. A move- ment is on foot, the Consul reports, to reduce the price of gas to 49 cents for sundry manufacturing purposes and a graduated reduction for ordinary uses. To"illustrate the growth of the busi- ness, it is stated that the producing ca- pacity of the works is 26,900,000 cubic feet per 24 hours, against 13,000,000 in 1883.

“She Looks Younger” A fresher, clearer complexion; a brighter — in her eyes; a cone coin erect a step ~those are the noticeable im- Provements in the woman’s outward appearance BELCHER “Uncle Joe’ Cannon on his seventy- third birthday looked and acted pre- cisely like “Uncle Joe’ has been looking and acting on every birthday he has noted on the calendar in the last 10 years. His first duty of the day was a call on President Taft. He got the President’s congratulations and headed for the Capitol. The Speaker stands pat on his:declara- tion that “this country is a hell of a success.”” This was a quotation ascribed ts the Speaker which properly summed up his estimate of the United States. “Anyhow, It’s True.” “I don’t believe I said it,” said the Speaker today. “It shocked a lot of good people, but it lasted and it’s true.” “Uncle Joe’ has spent 3 years in the House of Representatives. Prior to that, eight years were given to the State of Illinois as a district attorney. In all of that time Joseph G. Cannon has been trying and trying hard. He has had to try, because leadership in the House of Representatives is not a birthright or a legacy. The man who wins must be the best politician of 390 other best politicians of the United States. When “Uncle Joe’ was a small boy he was his mother’s favorite. He had a brother, William, better known as *Bill,”” a tow-headed youngster, whose habit of falling out of trees and getting his bones broken made his mother despair of his ‘ability to fight the battle of life. Before the mother of the two lads died she called on Joseph to watch over William. In Business Togeth Joseph promised, and took William to Eastern colleges with him. They went into business together, and then’ “‘Joe’’ found out that “Bill,” the tow-head, was the business man, and he, ‘Joe,”’ the caretaker and guardian, the amus- ing end of the sketch. So when Brother Bill died seyeral years ago he turndd over to “Uncle Joe” a fortune. The combined sagacity of “Bill” and ‘Joe’ Cannon sent the Hon. Jos. G. Cannon down to Washington.in Decem- ber, 1873, as a representative from IIli- nois. The first time the present Speak- er tried to make a speech some faceti- ous colleague alluded to him as “the man from Illinois with hayseed in his hair.”” Today the man with the hay- seed in his hair is the biggest man, gave one, in the Government of the United States. No other man exerts the influence on the Government that is wielded by Speaker Cannon. Although 78, and weighed do with more problems and cares of state than many a younger man could showtlder, the Speaker is as frisky as a colt, and likes to show it. At a dinner of the Jamestown survivors two weeks ago he danced a jig in competition with a boy of 2%. He put such life in “Turkey in the straw’’ that the Hungarian orches- tra called it a day, and knocked off with “Uncle Joe” still shuffling. — Adams St. uincy St. ‘wan?

Inventor Fires Charge of “Wil- liamsite” From Across Ohio River. SCARES OWN MOTHER Children Are Frightened and| Citizens Telephone to the Police. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EVANSVILLE, Ind., May 8—Early sleepers were roused from their beds and children were frightened into spasms last night at 10 o’clock when Charles Williams, the youthful inventor of high-power explosives and a method of wireless fulmination, fired a larg? charge of his “‘Williamsite’’ three miles up the river. Houses shook and windows rattled in tremendous vibrations. The blast was heard all over the’ city. Among those badly scared was Mrs..Dora K. Wil- liams, mother of the young inventor. She sald: “TI was frightened almost into a fit because I didn’t know whether my boy had fired off the charge or not. I didn’t want him to We it. Charley is always doing something with dynamite and other explosives, and I have always been afraid he would meet with a vio- lent death. I would rather have him home than dead with all the fame and glory the world could give him.”’ Persons who were unaware that Wil- liams had planned to test the power 0% his explosive ran out of their houses when the buildings began to quiver. Many feared that an earthquake was making the city tremble. Others who had heard of Williams’ plan telephoned at once to police headquarters. There were a haif dozen calls in as many seconds. Citizens Appeal to Police. “What was that explosion?” asked one agitated citizen from the Washing- ton avenue district. “That was Williams,’’ was the reply. “‘Did it shake your house?” ‘Almost ‘pitched me out of bed. Woke up everybody in the neighborhood and scared the babies into fits. Can’t you stop him?’’ Capt. Fred Stockmeyer replied that the explosion was not inside the city limits and that he had no right to in- terfere with the young inventor’s tests. He sent Bicycle Policemen Blum and Schmidt to Williams’ home, however, to make sure he was outside the city lines. Williams did not touch off the charge from home, but from about three miles above the city. He took his explosives across the river on the Kentucky side of the Ohio and, placing them in the top of the tree, came back to the In- diana side in a skiff to his wireless ap- paratus. ‘It only took a second to do the work,’’ Williams explained to the Post- Dispatch correspondent this morning. “I just want to show some of the skep- tical people here that I can do all I claim with my powerful explosives. To Blow Up a hill. “T have ‘not yet arranged to blow up the big Indian mound at Newburg, Ind., 10 miles above here, but I will probably do so soon. This mound is one of the highest of its kind in the State. It is filled with the relics of mound bullders. I can take a barrel of my explosive and blow that mound to Halifax.”’ Since the War Department has stated that the fulminatien of explosives by wireless is not a new or practical thing, Williams reminds that he did not claim to be the first to use wireless in setfing off charges at a distance. He is more concerned with his “‘Williamsite,”’ which he says is a third more powerful than nitroglycerin. He intends to use his new explosive in blasting work. Will- jams says he is not satisfie with the name he has given his new explosive and he is trying to find a new name for it. The explosion Williams caused last night was plainly heard by the people of ‘Henderson, Ky., .12 miles from this city. Steamboatmen for 15 and ® miles up and down the river also heard it. 18 New Homes at Kenwood Springs. Anyone going out to Kenwood Springs this year will certainly be surprised at the growth of that beautiful suburb since last fall. Bighteen new houses have just been completed, some of them bungalows, others two-story houses, varying in size from five rooms and path to eight rooms and bath. ~These new houses are ready for occupancy, and present @ most attractive appear- ance. Herman C. G.

After Sergeant-at-Arms J. Frank Wade had distributed Mrs. Noonan’s letters among the delegates at Friday night’s meeting, the bill was reported unfavorably by the Committee on Public Improvements. The vote to adopt the committee’s report was unanimous. According to Mrs. Noonan’s statemen' to the delegates, the width of the ai- ley was reduced in 1883 from 2 to ls feet. ‘Two and one-half feet reverted to the property owners on each side. ‘“T will greatly appreciate your vot- ing ‘No’ on House Biil No. 37,” wrote Mrs. Noonan, “for to pags it would do us an injustice by taking two and one- half feet. of our property on which we have paid taxes for 14 years and which is marked off to us on the City As- sessor’s books.”’ Texas Puzzle Winners-- “She” Fawoied, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May &8—An-| Wi ate and paroled convict, signed Wood- ward’s name to worthless checks, and, imperonating him, passed them, in an attempt to land his rival in prison.

Since then nothing has been heard from her by the owners except the in- formation conveyed in the newspaper dispatches reporting the finding of wreckage identified as being a part of the Shores. The boat was in charge of Capt. Sel- vert Holmes of Milwaukee. She was a wooden velles of 734 tons and was built in 1894, SHOW MEN CALL ST, LOUIS ; THE BEST “CIRCUS TOWN” Barnum & ‘Bailey | Management Record an Average Attendance of 14,000 .Daily.

Ssshes Is Serving ‘His Forty- Third Year in Public Office. DANCED JIG AT DINNER Gets Gourd Dipper From | “Tar Heel” Republicans as | Birthday Present. ~ 3y Wtre From the Washington Bureeu of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 8.—A loose-joint- ed man with a light, quick tread, wear- ing a flappy-fitting black suit of clothes ‘and a pearl gray, boy’s style fedora (hat, walked into his office in the Capi- ‘tol, He slammed.the door behind him ‘and yelled for Busbey, his secretary; then he took a fresh cigar and began another day of his 48 years of public service at the age of 73. “Uncle Joe’’ Cannon on his seventy- hird birthday looked and acted pre- cisely like “Uncle Joe” has been looking and acting on every birthday he has noted on the calendar in the last 10 years. His first duty of the @ay was a call on President Taft. He got the President’s congratulations and headed for the Capitol. The Speaker stands pat on his declara- tion that “this country is a hell of a success.” This was a quotation ascribed to the Speaker which properly summed up his estimate of the United States. “Anyhow, It’s True.” “I don’t believe I said it,” said the Speaker today. “It shocked a lot of good people, but it lasted and it’s true.” “Uncle Joe” -has spent % years in the House of Representatives. Prior to that, elght years were given to the State of Illinois as a district attorney. In all of that time Joseph G. Cannon Ras been trying and trying—hard.-- He has had to try, because leadership in the House of Representatives is not a birthright or a legacy. The man who wins must be the best politician of 390 other best politicians of the United States. When “Uncle Joe’”’ was a small boy he was his mother’s favorite. He had a brother, William, better known as ‘‘Bill,”’ a tow-headed youngster, whose habit of falling out of trees and getting his bones broken made his mother despair of his ability to fight the battle of life. Before the mother of the two lads died she called on Joseph to watch cver William. In Business Togeth Joseph promised, and took William to Eastern colleges with him. They went into business together, and then’ “Joe” found out that -‘‘Bill,” the tow-head, was the business man, and he, ‘“Joe,’’ the caretaker and guardian, the amus- ing end of the sketch. So when Brother Bill died seyeral years ago he turndd over to “Uncle Joe” a fortune. The combined sagacity of “Bill” and “Joe” Cannon sent the Hon. Jos. G. Cannon down to Washington.in Decem- ber, 1873, as a representative from IIli- nois. The first time the present Speak- er tried to make a speech some faceti- ous colleague alluded to him as “the man from Illinois with hayseed in his hair.”” Today the man with the hay- seed in his hair is the biggest man, save one, in the Government of the United States. No other man exerts the influence on the Government that is wielded by Speaker Cannon. . Although 78, and weighed do with more problems and cares of state than many a younger man could shoulder, the Speaker is as frisky as a colt, and likes to show it. At a dinner of the Jamestown survivors two weeks ago he danced a jig in competition with a boy of %.

LT, eee Inventor Fires Charge of ‘Wil- liamsite” From Across ~ Ohio River, SCARES OWN MOTHER Children Are Frightened and Citizens Telephone to the Police. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EVANSVILLE, Ind., May 8&—Early sleepers were roused from their beds and children were frightened into spasms last night at 10 o’clock when Charles Williams, the youthful inventor of high-power explosives and a method of wireless fulmination, fired a larg? charge of his ‘‘Williamsite’’ three miles up the river. Houses shook and windows rattled in tremendous vibrations. The blast was heard all over the city.: Among those badly scared was Mrs..Dora K. Wil- liams, mother of the young inventor. She said: “I was frightened almost into a fit because I didn’t know whether my boy had fired off the charge or not. I didn’t want him to We it. Charley is always doing something with dynamite and other explosives, and I have always been afraid he would meet with a vio- lent death. I would rather have him home than dead with all the fame and glory the world could give him.’’ Persons who were unaware that Wil- liams had planned to test the power 0“ his explosive ran out of their houses when the buildings began to quiver. Many feared that an éarthquake was making the city tremble. Others who had heard of Williams’ plan telephoned at once to police headquarters. There were a half dozen calls in as many seconds. Citizens Appeal to Police. “What was that explosion?” asked one agitated citizen from the Washing- ton avenue district. “That was Williams,” was the reply. ““‘Did it shake your house?” ‘Almost ‘pitched me out of bed, Woke up everybody in the neighborhood and scared the babies into fits. Can’t you stop him?’’ Capt. Fred Stockmeyer replied that the explosion was not inside the city limits and that he had no right to in- terfere with the young inventor’s tests. He sent Bicycle Policemen Blum and Schmidt to Williams’ home, however, to make sure he was outside the city lines. Williams did not touch off the charge from home, but from about three miles above the city. He took his explosives across the river on the Kentucky side of the Ohio and, placing them in the top of the tree, came back to the In- diana side in a skiff to his wireless ap- paratus. ‘It only took a second to do the work,”’ Williams explained to the Post- Dispatch correspondent this morning. ‘tT just want to show some of the skep- tical people here that I can do all I claim with my powerful explosives. To Blow Up a fail. “T have not yet arranged to blow up the big Indian mound at Newburg; Ind., 10 miles above here, but I will probably do so soon. This mound is one of the highest of its kind in the State. It is filled with the relics of mound builders. I can take a barrel of my explosive and blow that mound to Halifax.’’ Since the War Department has stated that the fulminatien of explosives by wireless is not a new or practical thing, Williams reminds that he did not claim to be the first to use wireless in setting off charges at a distance. He is more concerned with his ‘‘Williamsite,”’ which he says is a third more powerful than nitroglycerin. He intends to use his new explosive in blasting work. Will- jams says he is not satisfie with the name he has given his new explosive and he is trying to find a new name for it. The explosion Williams caused last night was plainly heard by the people of ‘Henderson, Ky., .12 miles from this city. Steamboatmen for 15 and 2 miles up and down the river also heard it. 18 New Homes at K ~ Anyone going out Pr Tonwand te yn this year will certainly be surprised at the growth of that beautiful suburb since last fall.

By ap- pealing through a‘ letter to each member she has prevented, the pasSage of a bil! that would have deprived her of two and one-half feet of ground on which she has paid taxes since 18M. After. Sergeant-at-Arms J. Frank Wade had distributed Mrs. Noonan’'s letters among the delegates at Friday night’s meeting, the bill was reported unfavorably by the Committee on Public Improvements. The vote to adopt the committee’s report was unanimous. According to Mrs. Noonan's statement to the delegates, the width of the al- ley was reduced in 1893 from 20 to la feet. \Two and one-half feet reverted to the property owners on each side. ‘IT will greatly appreciate your vot- ing ‘No’ on House Bill No. 37,”" wrote Mrs. Noonan, “for to pags it would do us an Injustice by taking two and one- half feet, of our property on which we have paid taxes for 14 years and which is marked off to us on the City As- sessor’s books.”’ ‘The Sunday Post - Dispa Next Sunday.

Woodward, an Alaskan miner, Jasper Keffard, collegiate gradu- ate and paroled convict, signed Wood- ward’s name to worthless checks, and, imperonating him, passed them,.in an attempt to land his rival in prison. The effort was a boomerang, and Kef- fard now faces the long term of incar- ceration which he had planned for Woodward. Keffard was sentenced to San Quentin Prison from Los Angeles in 1906, for passing a fictitious check. His wife, who is a trained nurse in thie city cured a divorce during his iy amcloaa: ment, but, relenting, promised to marry him on his release, so he asserts. Kef- fard was paroled from San Quentin] Prison nine days ago. Jealous, Tries Revenge. When he discovered his former wife's preference for Woodward, he was filled with jealous rage, and a desire for re- venge. He tore two blank checks from his. wife’s checkbook, signed Wood- ward's name to them and representing himigelf as the miner, procured goods from a haberdasher. These he ordered sent to Woodward's room. . Woodward was arrested, but the po- lice became convinced that Keffard was the guilty man, and he was arrested.

As a move- t it might be disregarded by the » progress in their line is termine the course of Congress. Regardless of the merits of Representative Murphy’s charges nothing could be more im- proper than this method of procedure. Judges McPherson and ‘Philips have been attacked in resolution: and speech in Congress. The attacks have been spread broadcast through the press and inscribed on the records of the House. The ef- fect of these charges is not merely to injure the reputations of the two judges assailed and bring them into contempt, but to cast suspicion upon the integrity of the bench. Yet there is no way in which the victims of the attack can reply and obtain a just judgment on the truth of the charges unless further action to that end is taken by Congress. The case so far has been in the nature of an ex-parte grand jury investigation conducted in public. In view of the pending resolution and the speech of Mr. Murphy, responsibility seems to rest upon Congress to find a way by which. jus- tice may be done to all the persons concerned in the controversy. While impeachment proceedings have not proved effective in the past, yet they of- fer opportunity for,a full hearing and a vindi- cation for the innocent. Impeachment is the log- ical action on definite charges of misconduct. On the other hand if these charges are not regarded as sufficiently grave to justify an impeachment trial, action should be taken to discover their character and determine. whether they have foundation in fact. Congress should not permit its members to make it the instrument by which passion, prejudice or mere suspicion may bring discredit upon judges and courts. What respect will the people have for the courts if their rep- reséentatives besmear them with scandal? = = — a “Any member who votes against this bill,’ thundered Representative Lyle, “is a hog thief,” and thereupon the larceny of a pig was made a felony under the law. And yet even the most in- tolerant prohibitionist never averred that any member who*voted against submission was a sot. MAKE HASTE SLOWLY. Any plan which involves going ahead with the actual work of construction on the free bridge in the face of the new difficulties presented would be unwise. A bridge without approaches would stand rather as a monument to municipal stupid- ity than as a demonstration of political promises fulfilled. The building of the bridge is a business prop- osition which involves the expenditure of a vast sum of money. The arbitrary sum fixed as the cost was necessarily an approximation.. Some reasonably slight variation from it would occa- sion neither surprise nor embarrassment. But ordinary business sense condemns any plan to go ahead until the plans are complete and pro- vision is made for all the necessary work. Com- plete plans mean a complete structure, inclusive of approaches which are as essential as the main span. ‘The plans call for an expenditure on the bridge proper so great that the sum available for approaches would be wholly inadequate. It is not the part of wisdom to begin an enter- prise of such magnitude until it is known what the end is to be. The city would not undertake the erection of a public building on land the title to which was in question, to say nothing of the ownership’s be- ing vested in someone else. It is no different with a bridge. Haste in such a case is waste. Let us find out first precisely what is needed and provide for it; then let the bridge be built as soon as possible. = = * And if we get a deep waterway from lakes to guif some foreign fleet may come up the river and shoot holes in our skyscrapers.

Mere man will smile over the information that the enactment of the tariff bill as now in con- templation will cut feathers, flowers, ribbons and buckles off women’s hats. It is a simple pro- cess—so simple that it is remarkable mere man never thought of it before. The tariff will make millinery ornaments so expensive that only the very rich can afford them. For years and years mere man has been strug- gling in vain against the exactions of the mil- ‘| liner, only to find that the milliner is not above or beyond the influences of the tariff. Now will mere man halt and listen to the pleas of the mil- liner for relief? We think not. It’s a great risk. ‘The milliners may show vindictiveness and impose upon our sight. still greater and unadorned atrocities. They may charge as much or more than at present. They may continue to offend our eyes and ravish our incomes, but they can’t force us to mortgage our homés to buy feathers so long as automobiles con- tinue in the list of necessaries.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In the matter of letting contracts for public work the Charter provides that the Board of Public Im- provements shall let out said work by contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Now this plan gives most excellent results at such times as competition is normal. On the other hand, however, when work is scarce and competition keen, the results are bad. The work is let at a price which does not admit ot good work, together with a reasonable profit. Men ‘ot experience know the truth of this. On account of the unprofitable contract we have friction, {ll feel- ing and too often dishonesty, Witness the defective sidewalks all over the city. Other bad results of the plan, at such times are the formation of rings, pools and combinations.

RUSSELL. Cupid Balked. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am a young lady and would like to answer “The Searcher’s’’ letter, as it was such a good, sensible letter, and I feel myself much tn the same position as he. I met a young man, a very refined gentleman, about two years ago, we being at that time employed in the same establishment. I know he thought very much of me and tried to further his acquaintance with me, but I, being of a timid, bashful nature, foolishly kept out of his way. I have met many gen- tlemen since then, but his image is the only one that looms up in my imagination that I could ad- mire and love. I see him now and then and I think he has the same regard for me, but on account of my former way of acting toward him I cannot bring myself to show recognition and so am spoiling my own happiness. The lady whose love Searcher can- not gain and does not know why, is peranpe in much the same position as myself.-- -- ONE WHO WOULD LOVE TO BE LOVED ‘BY THE ONE SHE LOVES. St. Louis’ Gas Problem. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The news item relating to the finding of gas in large quantities at a nearby Illinois point is cer- tainly of great interest to every St. Louis citizen. The writer has had some experience fighting for cheaper gas paralleling that of the people of St. Louis, which led to final relief at the hands of a natural gas company. The conditions were very simi:lar to those of St. Louis in many ways up to successful termination of the efforts to get nat- urah gas. As in St. Louis, the company furnishing ured gas Was getting $1. per thousand cubic feet for\gas, which was shewn by abundant figures them not more than 3% cents to 38 cents per 1000. In this instance, however, the gas was man- ufactured in very small quantities as compared with St. Louis, and the plant was located farther from the coal fields. As seems to be the case in St. Louis, the gas plant had been bought at a price many times its actual value, price being paid on the strength oT the outrageous prefits made on the gas. When the first attempts were made to get a’franchise for nat- ural gas, the old gas company propesed to put in natural gas and headed off the granting of the francise to the bona fide natural gas company for a year or two with this bluff. It looks as though the St. Louis gas monopoly had worked the same game and should there be any prospect of natural gag for St. Louis from the new Illinois. gas field, the city authorities should be on their guard against this same trick being again worked on the people. W. R. A Strange Silence. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The news dispatches telling of the massacres ™m Turkey must have shocked the American people be- yond the power of utterance. Otherwise, why are they so strangely silent? One would\ expect an out- burst of condemnation and a demand for the cessa- tion of these horrors from all over the country, but hardly a word is heard. We go about our business as if nothing had happened. We proceed with out amusements as if all these men, women and little children tortured and killed were so many noxious animals. We @re as much interested, and no more, in the stories of Roosevelt’s lion slaying. Surely we are not so callous as we appear. It must be that we fail to realize what it all means. Again, I say, if Roosevelt were still President, this shameful s!- lence might have been broken, Is there no one left who cares enough for the cause of humanity to cry out while still the horror is fresh in mind? H. M. W. “Prohibition Is Unamerican.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am very much surprised to see so many people who>claim to be genuine Americans advocating pro- hibition, because the very idea is repugnant to the very letter and spirit of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. That masterpiece of human wisdom de- clares that “all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Now, an inalienable right is one that even the State can- not take away from the citizen or the individual. Hence if the citizen or individual regards it 44 necessary to his pursuit of happiness to moderately indulge in the use of intoxicating Hquors, the State goes beyond its powers and violates both the spirit and the letter of the Declaration of Independence when by prohibitory laws it effectually prevents the individual from pursuing his happiness. Lincoin often spoke along these lines when speaking on slavery in his debates with Douglas. He declared that slavery violated the same principle of the Dec- laration of Independence. The opponents of slavery often pointed to this part of the Declaration and stated that the slave as well ag the freeman was en- titled as gn. inalienable right of each human being to the pursuit of his happiness in his own way. How- ever, the master of slaves justified his course by tell- ing his slaves that they did not for their pursuit of happiness, what premoted that end; in other words, that age Mite -_ | oa WHERE IS MR. BRYAN? From today’s New York World. Mr. Bryan is still nominally the lead- er of the Democratic party. Fifteen years there was no more ardent tariff reformer in the country than the young representative from Nebraska, whose speech on the Wilson bill won for him his first national recognition és an orator and debater. Mr. Bryan now? What is he doing to bold his party true to the principles that he has defended and to the plat- form that. he framed? In both Houses of Congress Demo- crats cynically repudiate their party obligations in order to get a full meas- ure of Aldrich protection for their own constituents. Without apology they leave it to the Republican senators like Dolliver, Cummins and Clapp to fight the battle of t er for a reduc- tion in the cost of living, and for a tariff behind hich predatery trusts cannot shelter themsel’es to practice extortion at the expense of the public welfare. Ono speech such as ‘Mr. Bryan made in 1894 would be of immeasurable value to the cause of the consumer and to the cause of ‘Democracy. But that speech is not delivered and there are no signs that it ever will be. Apparently the William Jennings Bryan of 1894 is dead, and the William Jennings Bryan of 1908 refuses to rec- ognize his ghost. J. BARLEYCORN AND PROGRESS. From Harper’s Weekby. The great current ‘fact about alcoho: is the length and breadth and intensity of the current fight against it. As we see it, it is a very imperfectly intelli- gent fight, but it is impressive in its scope and vehemence. A large majority of our people, and doubtless of the peo- ple of every other civilized country, are not drunken, and they are tired of hav- ing the people who are drunken loaded upon their backs to be carried. So far as the problem can be solved, it is going to be solved; we believe that. The en- ergy to solve it is _pvailable. Through wise means or foolish that energy 1s likely to work on, and to win improve- ment whether by mistakes or by suc- cesses. It is seen almost universally that Jehn Barleycorn is in the way of human progress. He must get out of the way. That the use of alcohol cav be abolished we have no idea, but we have hopes that it is going to be made vastly more consistent with the best in- terests of humanity than it has ever been, and that, in the course of the next 50 years. Qian a BLUNDERERS AT LAW. From the New York World. If we are to have a ent of law it is obvious that the men who make laws and attempt to enforce them should have some knowledge of law and prece- dent. The Hepburn act, designed to pre- vent railread companies from owning and operating coal mines and monopo- lizing the fuel suppty, is practically nul- litied by the Supreme Court of the United States, because it fails to state in proper language its real intent. MEN’S CLOTHES VS. WOMEN’S. From the Atchison Globe. When a man is dressed completely he wears W articles, including his socks and necktie. A woman wears 19 differ- ent articles in her hair alone. A woman wears at least 67 different articles and Where is| JUST A MINUTE FOR VERSE AND HUMOR Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark ‘McAdams. WHEN THE FREE BRIDGE IS BUILT. W Just think of it—finished! HEN the Free Bridge is built we shall all say Amen! With a glad and unanimous shout, And if Mars ever hears us at all, he will then And wonder what it is about, No more about plans, Or weeping for milk that is spilt— Of one or two decks, or approaches, or spans— When it’s built! We are all from Missouri, and that blessed day Not a man of us here but will run To look with incredulous eyes on the bay And see if it’s really done, We shall stand on the shore as the forefathers stood, In. doublet and hauberk and kilt, And each i in his own way shall say it is good— When it’s built. And no one among us shall ever recall O’Reilly or Reber again, Or ever shall mention the matter at all Upon the most terrible pain. We'll simply dismiss the whole Gordian knot As the river debouches its silt— Heave ho! and straight into the Pittomless Bot— When it’s built. I-~F PLATO LIVED. If Plato lived, St. Louis would delight him. Nowhere else, we think, is there such evidence of growth. We have probably 2000 local organizations which meet at least once a week and adopt resolutions in which they express them- selves on public questions. If the news- papers published all the resolutions passed in St. Louis last night, they wouldn’t have any room for sport. Ev- ery organization in the city, from the women’s clubs to the turner societies, has become a live and nilflitant civic body. Nothing escapes them, and vox populji thunders, This is what Plato desired of the Greeks. It is the natural and inevita- ble result of clubs and organizations of one kind and another if they con- tinue to meet. There comes a _ time when drinking, turning, bowling, pool, pinochle, secret work, dancing, bridge, etc., become puerile and wearisome, and a a _ The Real Sufferers, Scots Minister (visiting invalid deacon) —I’m sorry ye missed my sermon on predestination last Sawbath, deacon.

Elbert Hubbard said that St. Louis was to become the Athens of America. Elbert was the first person to notice how many organizations of one kind and another we have here. The whole secret of growth is In one; word—meet.

But at any rate I. will not be back in New York until July, and then, if the followers of the game there want it and all things: are adjusted, I will be ready to boost’any way I can.” Donlin has. not signed a contract with the New York club, and it will be nec- essary for President John T.

Last January Brush wrote Don- lin that he would not consider Mike as a factor in the line-up of the team for this season and stating that baseball cannot: pay as much as vaudeville pays tions between them ceased.

* Friday the Cardinals were off in front, when Jap Bardeau, the little third base- man for whom the Cardinals have been dickering, made a couple of wild throws. Bill Abstein also made a break that helped the Cardinals to a run in the second inning, after they had earned two by good hitting in the first. Later in the, game this same little Barbeau more than made up for his fielding ‘niscues when he cracked out four hits in as many times at bat. Pittsburg tied the score, making it three runs each, In the fourth Inning. Upto this time Mr. Dusty Khodes, the sturdy little Cardinal, had occupied the firing mound. In the fifth tall Mr. Sallee was sent in to stop the Pirates from doing any more Going into the game with an even break in the score, Sallee got The Pirates could do nothing with him in the fifth, but in the sixth inning the winning two runs were crowded across the plate. Wilson singled, as end on a sacrifice. Willis sept up’a fly and: was out,-but Barbeau came along with a single and Wilson scored.

McCormack he had met two men at the Jefferson Hotel about 1 a. m., and had accepted their invi- tation to go out for a good time. “T thought I recognized one of the fellows as a traveling man I had met in Oklahoma,”’ said Parmer, ‘and so I accompanied them.
