Like hounds on the fresh scent of a hare, Pinkerton detectives traced the fugitive Fortner from New Orleans to F’anama and thence to France by the red and gold bands of the three-for-a-half-.- dollar cigars which he had smoked :!l- most incessantly. When a Pinkerton got on his trail in New Orleans and learned that Fortn-tr haid sailed on the Parismina, a man who was shown his photograph exclaimed: “That’s the fellow who smoked the bic biack cigars.”’ “What kid of cigars?’ sleuth. “IT don’t remember the name, but I eould identify the band if I saw one,” was the reply. The detective took the man to a cigur store, where he picked out the cigar. The detective remembered that, and when the Parismina returned to New Orleans from the Isthmus the detectiv- hoarded her and asked about Fortner, and went through the purser’s books. When the purser saw ortner’s photo- graph he laughed and said: ‘That's the fellow who smoked the big hiinck cigars.”’ The stewards and others of the crew who nad seen much of Fortner, or “W. asked the Fortner also left a trail of $100 bills that would have been easy to follow. even without the trail of cigar bands.

HOLE RATE WARS TYRANNY Business Men’s .League Presi- dent Calls Prosecutions of Roads “‘Senseless.” In Luncheon Speech, He De- clares Political Reasons Actuate the Suits. =

—— The Missouri rate litigation was de- nounced by James FE. Smith, president of the Business Men’s League, as an injury to every resident of the State in a speech delivered at the monthly luncheon of the League at the Jefferson Hotel Wednesday. W. W. Finley, president of the South- ern Railway, was the guest of honor and delivered a speech on ‘Modern Methods of Railroading.’’ He made a plea that the railroads be let alone. Mr. Smith said: “A tyrannical series of prosecutions, apparently for nothing but political prestige, has been carried on until the people of the State are disgusted, A suit actually has béen filed to oust ev- ery railroad from the State of Missour’. “Owing to these unfortunate condi- tions, only two of the 17 railroads in Missouri are paying dividends. The senseless prosecutions aiready nave cost Missouri more than $100,000 and nothing has been accomplished. It is safe to say that they have cost the railroad that much, if not more. “Evemif the suits were won, the peo- ple of the State would be the losers. The only object of these senseless prose- cutions is.to keep a few aspiring politi- clans in the lifelight. The thing for the business men to do is to work together for a return to sane and sound condi- tions. Favers Proper Regulation. “Prover regulation of the railroads is wise, but the senseless wave of antag- onism now sweeping over Missouri ha3 gone too far. “The demagogue who insists on ruin- ous rates is the enemy of every man, woman and child in Missouri. Everyone knows the railroads have stopped spend- ing any money except for actual operat- ing expenses and that this condition will continue until these prosecutions are stopped.” Mr. Finley said: “Tt is the right of the railway, and it is an economic necessity that its man- agers should have the utmost 4iberty in the management of its affairs consist- ent with the preservation of the rights of the public, for a great business, such as transportation, on the efficiency of which all other kinds of business are jacket or restrictive and destructive reg- ulations and be expected to prosper and perform efficient service. “Tt is the duty of the public to pay for railway transportation at rates that are not unreasonably high when meas- ured by the service performed, and it is the duty of the public—and is now 80 recognized by the law of the United States—to avoid soliciting or trying to secure, by any means, directly or in- directly, any discrimination in rates or service such as it is the duty of the railway to avoid granting.’’ Would “Double Track” Roads. He said it was of great importance to the business interests of St. Louis that the railroads of the South and West be “double tracked,’’ adding: “All that I\ have said as to the im- portance of the improvement of railway facilities applies with equal force to the waterways of the United States. Whilé waterways can never take the place of railways, there are inany localities, one of which is St. Louis, in which rail transportation can be effectively supple- mented by water transportation. “No other phase of modern methods of railroading has been so much dis- adjustment of charges for transporta- tion service. It is a matter of common knowledge that railway rates in the United States are lower, when measured by the service performed, than in any other country, and that their tendency has been steadily downward. The aver- age rate per ton per mile has been re- duced from 1.28 cents in 1880 to 7.59 milis in 1907. In relatively a few in- stances reductions in freight charges have been made by the exercise of gOV- ernmmental authority, but, generally speaking, they have been made by the railways as the result of the working of economic laws. Whatever may have been the case in the early days of rail- ways, when the economic forces gOvV- erning their charges were but imper- fectly understood, it is ¢ertain that un- der modern conditions railway rates are not made arbitrarily. As a matter of fact, they are controtiea to such an ex- tent by economic forces that the discre- tion of the railway ntanager in adjust- ing them is confined withirt very narrow limits,’’

Just about the time Fortner left here a cyclone destroyed Brinkley and blew down the house of Fortner’s mother, and it was thought he had gone there. But a telegram from the New: Orleans office of the Pinkertons contradicted this, for it was positively determined that he had sailed from that port. In New Orleans a Pinkerton agent named Gardner, 45 years old, who re- ceived his first training from Alan Pink- erton, set to work on the case. Sifted Down to W., B. Wells. By a painstaking process of elimina- tion all the passengers on the steamers which had left that port fallowing Fort- ner’s flight were acCounted for except W. B. Wells. They were either at home again or at the ports for which thev haid sailed. “WW. B. Wells’ could not be found, and the fact that that was the name of the vice-president of the Third Nationa! Bank, where Fortner had cashed the cashier’s check for $11,000 he had ob- tained from the St. Louis Union Trust Co. was an additiona) clew. Fortner used only two aliases—‘‘W. B. Wells’’ on the steamer to Panama, and “Paul Brown,’ which the name of an officer of the Mercantile Trust Co., under which name he bought a ticket on the La Normandie from Colon to St. Na- zaire, France. Fortner’s photograph was identified as being the portrait of both ‘‘Wells”’ and “Brown” by the crew of the Paris- mina, by several people on the isthmus and by the steamship agent at Colon who sold him a ticket te France. The crew of La Normandie recognized Brown in it, and the Paris p:stice later picked up W. B. Wells at 60 Rue des Mathurins by it. Picking up the trail of Fortner Was easy when the detectives reach- ed New Orleans. Fortner had made him-

accompanied by sandwich men bearing his name. and a brass band to herald his approach. On his way to Panama his cigars, his airs about his clothes, his complaints about the fogad on the steamer. his association with two Kan- sas City bartenders on their way to 4obs on the Isthmus, and his flashy ties and vests cemented him in the mem- ories of those who had seen him and sat at the table with him. On board he changed his clothes three times a day and wore a white yachting cap. In Panama he changed his heavy Northern clothes for whité ilannels« and a Panama hat. While on the six-day’ run from New Orleans to Colon he did hot assnciate with the passengers. on the decks, nor was he attentive to any of the ladies, which was commented on. Most of the time he spent in the saloon playin poker, But none of the games were bigger than penny ante, although once a bluffer complained that tlhe stakes were small, and Fortner promptiy offered to raise them to $1000 or take off the roof if that was not going high enough. On the Isthmus he was an active sightseer during the two weeks he was there and crossed it several times. It was known that he had $9700 in $100 bills when he was in Colon, for he iceft that sum in the charge of the preprietor of the Imperial Hotel. When he was arrested in Paris it was found that he had $1200 deposited in a bank. Tne Pinkertons do not believe that he spent $8500 since his departure from Co- lon unless he gambled heavily on the way across the Atiantic, or ‘‘blew it in’’ in seeing the gay life of the boule- vards. The Pinkertons received a_ report Thursday from Paris that Fortner had not left the French capital since his ar- rival there. It was’ expected that he vould go to London, and the detectives knew where he would go when he reached the English capital, and the piace was being closely watched. But he did not leave Paris.

Fortner’s Wife Wealthy. Mrs. Fortner, who with her infant daughter is at the Handlan home, is wealthy in her own right. Whether the love which impelled her to marry a poor hotel elerk will in the end prevail and prompt her to go to her husband’s aid, cannot be learned from her, as she denies herself to all who would ask her what her course will be. Though her fortune was impaired by her husband’s forgertes she is still well- to-do, and if she desired to do so she might ignore the antipathy of her par- ents toward Fortner and cleave to him in his hour of trouble, showing the same when. she married him against the the wishes of her parents.

With her raother, Mrs. Anna Brown of 921 Hick- ory street, she went to the house. Mrs. Brown asked to see Mr. Bridges, and was told by a woman who responded to the ring that he was not home. Two days later the women called again, but Bridges and the woman had moved. After further search the woman was found again, and she told Mrs. Brown that she and Bridges had been married Nov. 30, 190, by the Rev. EB. H. Biltz, an Evangelical minister of 309 Soulard street. Mrs. Brown found in the Re- corder’s office the record of the mar- riage as returned by: the clergyman. This was placed in evidence. * The second wife was Miss Louise H. Bruns. She lives now at 6576 Bartmer avenue and is said te be separated from Bridges.

Building One of Six Set Afire in Chillicothe, Mo., in Two Weeks. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., May 20.—The officers of this city are working hard to discover who is setting fire to buildings. Within the past two weeks six buildings have been set afire, among them a large frame building belonging to the Lemp Brewing Co. of St. Louis. The time in which the fires have been started has not varied 20 minutes—between 8 and 8:30 p. m. The police believe the person who is starting the fires is desirous of see- ing the fire companies make runs. The firemen had a hard time saving a large dry goods store at the time the Lemp building burned. The entire loss by the six fires will amount to about $60,000. An unsuccessful at- tempt was made to burn a large feed store and a horse hospital.

TO SHOW THE CUSTOM Contractor Testifies That De- mand for $2750 Was Later Reduced to $1500. CHICAGO, May 20.—Wider latitude in the introduction of evidence was given the prosecution by Judge McSurely today in the case against “Skinny’’ Madden, F. A. Pouchot and M. J. Boyle, labor leaders, charged with conspiracy to ex- tort money in the settlement of a strike against the Joseph Klicka Co. Judge McSurely’s ruling followed sev- eral hours of argument and allows the State to introduce witnesses net directly concerned with the Klicka case, but who, it is said, will give testimony tend- ing to show that the alleged extortion in the case at bar was merely an inci- dent of a general policy pursued by the defendants. The first witness called by State’s At- torney Wayman under this ruling was Jacob Scharmer, a building contractor, who told of a strike called last Septem- ber on the plant of the Jewel Tea Co. Offer to Settle Strike. “I asked Pouchot why the strike had been called, and he said certain sheet metal sleéves for the coffee roasting plant had been placed in the plant by nonunion labor,”’ Scharmer testified. ‘I told him that if that was his only kick, I would have the sleeves torn out and new ones put in by union men. ‘Oh, don’t Bother about that; leave them where they are,’- Pouchot said. He told me to see Madden and make him a Cash offer to settle the strike.” The witness related a later interview with Madden in which he alleged Mad- den demanded $2750 as his price for call- ing off the strike This, the witness said, he reduced to $2700. Price Was Cut in Two. “You'll have to get off your high horse,’ I told him. Then I went to see Fred V. Skeff, president of the tea company. We talked it over, and then I returned to Madden. **You’vée got to use some common sense,’ I told him. ‘We've got to agree on a decent price or fight it out. on other lines.’ $1500. “T asked him how Skeff was to pay the money, and he said that Skeff should bring along a confidential man to meet a similar agent, who would be with Madden. These two agents were to be left alone in a private room where the money was to change hands.” Skeff, when put on the stand, said that he took the money, all in $100 bills, to Madden, and that the latter told him to put it in an envelope. This he did, and left the sum on the desk in the otfice used by Madden. Then he came down to h We Deliver Ever $6.00 in Stamps With ‘ate $5.00 in stamps With 25¢ P $10.00 in stamps With te 1 With this e a 2Se Pur eclal: soe Been. 8 | wt 00 in.

Life Prisoner Escapes Guards and “Has Eluded Searchers for 48 Hours. COLUMBUS, O., May 2.—Somewhere within the walls of the Penitentiary, Harvey Johnson, a life prisoner, who was received a few days ago from Franklin County, is hiding. For 18 hours the penitentiary officers and guards have been searching for the little negro and twice during the night he was seen. One of the wall guards said he, saw Johnson stick his head out of a bolt shop window, and the guard fired. The bullet was afterwards found imbedded near the window. \Capt. Krouse of the guard room also saw Johnson, but was unable to capture ~_ on account of the darkness. The entire floor in bolt shop No. 6, where the desperate colored man worked, was ripped up. Traces were found of Johnson’s having crawled be- neath the floor. ‘Warden Jones has issued orders to the guards to shoot to kill if Johnson does not surrender. mm

Posters Calling Physician aC trayer of Woman Mysteri- ously Appeared,

MORGAN CITY, La., May 20. After Miss Grace Olivier ha@ made a confes- sion to her pastor her mother and a friend naming Dr. Allen S. King as her betrayer, Leroy Olivier, her brother, aged 16, went to Dr. King’s office and shot him to death. Dr. King was the famiiy physician of the Oliviers and had been a frequent visitor to the Olivier home. Leroy Olivier was spurred on to the shooting by large printed posters with which the town was placarded, calling Dr. King a betrayer of women. These were displayed after Dr. King and Miss Olivier had returned from a mysterious visit to New Orleans,” The shooting toak place in Dr. King’s offices yesterday Leroy Olivier at once went to the Qourthouse and surren- dered, telling the officers what he had done, Mother Hears Confession. Miss Grace Olivier was a teacher: in the public schools here until a month aga Her family is one of the best kmown in this parish, her father being the late Dr. Michael Olivier. After resigning her position in the schools a month ago, Miss Olivier went to New Orleans. Dr. King closed his of- fice the next day and also went to New Neither returned ta Morgan City unfil last week. The young woman came first and soon after her return made her confession.. It was heard by the Rev. A. Souby, pastor of the Catho- lic Church here, by Miss Oliver’s mother and a friend. Rumors regarding it soon became cur- rent about the town. Last Tuesday Dr. King returned from New Orleans and opened his office, That night the mysterious posters were displayed on the streets and sigu boards. They told of Dr. King’s return and called him a, betrayer. Leroy Olivier is locked in jail pend. ing the action of the Coroner. AMERICAN GIRL S RECEIVED BY VIENNA SOCIETY Countess Szechenyi Honored Through Husband’s~ Rank, Says Ex-St. Louisan.

Countess Szechenyi (Gladys WVander- bilt) has been received by exclusive Vi- enna society, and in the ultra-exclusive Austrian court, with the full honors of her husband’s rank, according to Alex- ander Konta, former St. Louisan and son-in-law of the late William J. Lemp. Mr. Konta ig visiting friends in St. Louis. “The stories about snubs administered to the Countess are inventions, or at least are based on misunderstanding of the facts," said Mr. Konta Thursday to & Post-Dispatch reporter. “It is probably true that the Countess has never met the aged Emperor Fran- cis Joseph. He has ceased to attend been presented at the imperial court, and there has been no thought of deny- ing her claims to membership in the aristocracy. Husband Prominent Man, “Her husband is one of the leading men of Hungary, and as the Countess Szechenyi, she occupies a position in which she could not be ignored or slight- ed, While the court of Vienna is the most exclusive in Europe, it is not truc that none but those of noble birth can obtain access to it. Other Americans, wives of diplomats, with no claims to noble birth, have been freely admitted because of their husbands‘ positions. ‘From the time of her first visit to Vienna, the Countess received the high- est honors which society in that capital can give. To consider her as snubbed and disappointed is a great mistake.” Cable dispatches received Thursday from Vienna tell how the Countess ¢n- tertained several members of the ‘im- perial family at @ ball in a clubroom. One of the guests was the Archduchess daughter of Archduke Frederick, who is a cousin of the Emperor. ? —-

SEATTLE, Wash., May %.—It is not certain that the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in its tour of the United States next Septemver will visit Califor- nia, because of alleged lack of interest by business men of that State. J. D. Lowman, a member of the committee that has been traveling in the East ar- ranging for the journey of the Japanese, said: «There has been considerable doubt as to whether we will visit California, as the Calfornia people have bee hang- ing back and evidently are afraid to make any move toward having this par- ty of Japanese there.”’ Among the cities that’ will entertain the Japanese are St. Louis, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver, Pitts- burg, Chicago, Indianapolis, Omaho, St Paul, Minneapolis, Rochester, Syracuse, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Tacoma, Portland, ‘Spokane and Seattle.

Captain Pickel Declares “World’s| : which a : Meanest” Gets Haircut Free St ANN i A , ~ hen ts its at Barber College. | ———————— ae Capt. Pickel of the North’ Market Street Police District thinks he has found the stingiest man in the world. “What do you think of a man who owns lots of property, and who is re- puted wealthy, going to church every morning and leaving before mass is over just so he can gather up all the cigar stumps on the sidewalk for his day’s smoking?” asked the Captain. “Well, that’s nothing,’’ resumed Pick- el. “He borrowed a horse and wagon from his grocer the other day to drive down to a barber college and get a free hair cut.” “Gee, that’s going some in the saving line,” said a friend. : “Yes, but that wasn’t the worst of it,” continued the Captain. ‘Someone saw the horse and wagon standing in front of the college and drove it home. It broke the stingy man’s heart to think he might have to pay a nickel for car- fare.” | “Did he pay it?” “Not so you could hear the conductor ring it up,” said Pickel. “He walked all the way home.” “Fe’s the limit.”’ “That isn’t all. He borrows a razor every week from a different neighbor and shaves himself to save a dime.” “No wonder he’s rich.’’ “Rich? Say, that fellow’s got more money than anybody else in this part of town. I could tell a lot more about him, but he’s too mean to talk about.’’

‘HER HUSBAND Mrs. B. F. Taylor of St, Louis Writes to- Authorities\at Edwardsville. MARKED BOOK FOUND

Efforts to Solve Mystery of Possible Cryptogram Have Been Unsuccessful.

An inquest into the death of an un- identified man whose body was found Saturday near the Wabash tracks at the edge of Edwardsville was begun at Edwardsville Thursday. The oniy clews to the man’s identity are a pocket dic- tionary, in which many words had been marked with a blue penci!, perhaps as a cipher message, and which con- tained the name and address “B. F.. Taylor, 3211 Wabash avenue, Chicago,” and a letter from a St. Louis woman who ‘signs herself ‘Mrs. B. F. Taylor’ and who says she fears the dead man was her husband.

The body was dressed in clothing of fine quality, a black suit, tailored and of fashionable cut, and a fine, while linen shirt with pleated bosom. A derby hat from which the inside band had been torn lay near the body. Acid Bottle Near Body. No money was found in the pockets and a watch chain, dangling from the vest, had the ring of a watch at the end, but the watch was gone. A bottle that had contained earbolic acid was found near the body and the man’s month had the appearance of having been burned with acid. The marked words in the dictionary found in a small package near the body were: Advice, burial, bushes, cab, cadaver, conceal, concentrate, concern, concern- ing, condition, confidential, confirmation, counterpart, different, excuses, execra- ble, foundling, furrier, gradualiv, healthy, hearsay, important, importa- tion, importunate, impound, impercepti- bie, improper, improvidence, indifference, information, offering, peaceable, pecu- liar, intent, intrude, kleptomaniac, log- gerhead, privation, secretly, prospect, proud, provoke, refulgence, rejoice, de- scription, signal, silent, specific, sur- prise, susceptible, suspense, testimony, topography.

-- Only Son, Trained by Father, Is Ex- pected to Inherit Large Portion of Estate. By Lenase@ Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May “20.—By the death of his father, H. H. Rogers Jr. becomes aman of consequence in the world of finance. Just how important this position will be depends largely upon the terms of his father’s will. If the elder Rogers left an estate of $50,000,000 and has be- queathed the bulk of it to his only s0n, young Rogers will have many re- sponsibilities thrust upon his shoulders in adiition to the great wealth. Even if Mr. Rogers’ will equally dis- tributes his fortune to his widow and four children, young Rogers’ share +» would be $10,000,000, providing the estate amounts to $50,000,000. Young Rogers is 29 years olg. -He was aduated from Columbia College in but a-year before was married to Miss Mary ‘Benjamin, a niece of William E. Benjamin, the husband of his eldest sister. “Member of National Guard. Since leaving college he has traveled extensively and has had an office at 26 Broadway. His father sought to train him in business affairs, the training being aleng easy lines. He is’ president, treasurer and a director of various cor- porations and belongs to half a dozens clubs. He has a country place at Tux- edo and his town residence is the old Rogers house at 26 East Fifty-seventh street, which his father gave him. His father also gave him 1050 shares of Standard Oil stock, now worth $700,- |

fon adjutant on the staff of Gen. George Moore Smith. Lost Millions in 1907. The extent of H. H. Rogers’ fortune is unknown even to close friends. The best estimates place it from. $40,000,000 to $60,000,000. A trifle more than two years ago he was reputed to have $100,- 000,000. In the “silent panic’’ of March, 1907, which laid the foundation for the great panic the following October, he was the heaviest individual sufferer. His losses at that time are figured at from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000. Rival financiers, generally believed to have been captained by J. Pierpont Mor- gan, who had been camping on his trali fot years, gave him no mercy in the spring of 1907. Dozens of times Mr. Rogers had done the same things to others, grinding up the poor and rich in his money-making machines, but it was a crushing blow when he was caught himself. He never got over it. The worry and anxiety brought on the stroke of apoplexy from which he suf- fered in the summer of 1907, and after that he was never again the same reso- lute, fighting, aggressive Rogers. He ceased speculating, avoided finan- cial combats and devoted himself to putting his affairs into quiet, conserva- tive channels. Though a resident of New York for 35 years, the State will not collect a penny of inheritance tax by his death, as his legal residence was in Fairhaven, Mass., the town in which he was born. When John D. Rockefeller first began his campaign to crush or buy up rivals he found he must use different tactics with Pratt & Co. They had a refining process better than his; they had plenty ef’ money and were men’ who knew the strength of their position. So he had to take them in as ground-floor partners, and if anything they the bettér of the deal, largely through the shrewd- hess of Rogers. ; From that time until his death, H. H. Rogers was a mighty factor in the oil business. It was he who worked out the scheme of piping oil. For the past 15 years he was the actual head of the Oil Trust. Who will take Mr. Rogers’ place in the many corporation boards of diréc- tors with which. he was connected is a problem. While his son, H. H. Rogers Jr., has shown some business capacity, his experience has been brief. Arrangements for Mr. Rogers’ funeral! were completed teday. The services will be held in the Church of the Messiah in this city at 10 a. m. tomorrow, the Rev. D. Robert Collyer officiating. A quartet from the Mendelssehn Gleen Club will sing. The body will then be tcken to Fair Haven, Mass., and simple services will be held on Saturday in the Memorial Church which Mr. Rogers gave to that community. The interment will be in a mausoleum which Mr. Rog- ers caused to be erected some years ago in River Side Cemetery in Oxford near Fair Haven. The pallbearers will be Messrs fl- bert H. Gary, George W. Perkins, James A. Moffett, John DD. Archbold, C, A. Peabody, A. S. Paine, William Rockefeller, E. H. Harriman, Edward T. Bedford, James M. Beck, Melville E, Stone, James Jordan, John D. Ryan, Cc. C. Rice, Raymond Jupuy and Sam- uel L. Clemens. Crippled Building Ratiroad. It was Mr. Rogers’ ambition to build a railroad out of his own funds. and it was that ambition which put him in a position where he was badly squeezed in the spring of 1907, This enterprise, the Virginia Railroad Co., better known as Rogers’ Tidewater road, runs from Deep Water, W. Va., 442 miles to Sewell’s Point, near Norfolk, Va. It was built to tap the Rogers soft coal fields in the Kanawha region of West Virginia. It was formally opened April 23 last. /Mr. Rogers planned to spend $40,000. 000 on the road, and to hold all the stock lumself. It is believed it cost much more than $40,000,000. He had put $20,000, - oo of his own money into it when the money pinch began In 1907, He was tied up in many ways. His large holdings in Amalgamated Copper were shrinking in value. When he marketed some of his gilt- edged holdings, the ground was cut from under his feet. Rivals had learned of his predicament, and beat down prices everywhere. Then he had to borrow money, and he was badly squeezed at that. He found ne couldn't build the Tidewater road with his own resources. First he sold 317,500,000 of notes. He had to pay 7% per cent interest, and also gave the brokers a bonus of stock before he could get the money. That he was still pressed as late as May, 1908, was shown by the fact that he then had to issue additional notes for $3,750,000 to get money to pur- cnase equipment. To secure these $21,250,000 of notes he uad to put up as collateral 2000 shares of Stahdard Oil stock, worth $14,000,000, jand tremendous blocks of other high- grade stocks, worth as much more.

A p. ez) os RAILROAD REACTION. The applause which greeted the protest of President Smith of the Business Men’s League at the monthly luncheon of that organization, against what he called the persecutions of the railroads in this State, indicates a decided reac- tion among business men from the anti-railroad hue and cry. The evidence of this reaction here is merely the reflex of a widespread sentiment. The reaction is caused largely by demagogic politicians who,’ attempting to make political cap- ital out of popular indignation at railroad abuses and evils, have gone to extremes of denunciation, litigation and legisletion directed agcinst rail- road interests. There has been a competition among political leaders to outstrip each other in attacks upon railroads. The result has been an accumulation of disasters far in excess of the normal damage which invariably attends the reform of abuses and the checking of evil prac- tices, no matter how wisely and carefully the ehanges may be accomplished. That railroad de- velopment and construction have been checked with great injury to the whole country cannot be denied. But, on the other hand, there is danger that the reaction may go to extremes and thus not only stay progress in the right directiou, but -de- prive us of what has been gained. Tuat railroad manipulation, exploitation and overcapitalization must cease is settled. That railroad regulation by government will be perfected is certain. We have come to the true view of the railroad as a public servant whose duty is to serve the public | impartially, honestly, efficiently, at reasonable cost for the service performed. In the rush for low rates and new grounds for legal prosecutions we are apt to overlook the de- sirable object so ably presented by President Fin- ley of the Southern Railway at the league’s luncheon—the improvement of the service to meet increasing transportation demands and the prop- er conditions of safety and efficiency. Under needed improvements should be grouped better construction, better materials, more tracks, ade- quate equipment, expert, well-paid employes, new lines, more trains, every element that enters into the perfecting of freight and passenger trans- portation. Much is yet to be accomplished in habe lines of improvement, especially on Western railroads. Certainly the conditions of railroad transporta- tion in Missouri are far from satisfactory. There might be more advantage to the public in the double tracking-of the leading lines, the improve- ment of train service and of facilities for handling traffic than in a reduction of rates. In looking into the earnings of railroads it might be wiser to inquire whether more money ought not to be put into their roadbeds, equipment and service improvements rather than less into their coffers. These physical conditions of railroads are =f paramount importance to the public. Their per- fecting is essential to safety and to commercial expansion. The problems they present cannot be solved by the arbitrary acts of uninformed legis- ae gm They must be worked out with patience and understanding, keeping in view the interde- pendence of railroad and public interests and the rights and duties of both. = = ~~ = Washington street car companies are being prosecuted for overcrowding their cars, and just for that—still, on thinking it over, we can dis- cover no form of new revenge a street car com- pany can take.

ANNA HELD AND. HER WARNING. Anna Held, the musical comedy songs‘ress, has announted she will retire from the stage after next season. She acknowledges the possession of a fortune in excess of $1,000,000, the tribute an easy-going public has paid to her abilities. What are the abilities that have enabled her te amass such a fortune? Miss Held or Mrs. Ziegfeld sprang from no- where in the Paris cafes to celebrity on the American gtage in a season. She made a daring venture in vaudeville, attracted attention less by her chic French manner than her songs, suppos- edly the more risque because rendered in her native tongue and then she fell in with Florenz Ziegfeld, a theatrical promoter and an adept in the art of publicity. Thereafter milk baths sup- plied the place of vocal ability, bran as a com- plexion preservative brought a fame which good dancing could never win and there was always a covert intimation that ‘Anna Held could arouse emotions with a drawl or a glance which out- distanced the field of throb-compelling actresses. In the end Mr. Ziegfeld found it the part of jeconomy to marry his star and together they came into fortune. How ready the American public is to reward froth and crowd about to see a woman with a reputation flavored with spiciness was never more clearly shown. The strange thing is that Anna Held has been a model wife, a good mother and a thrifty busi- ness woman. She sacrificed the reputation she might have had for the million she has accumu- lated. Was it worth it? And that she delights in playing the role to the end is shown by her parting Shot—a warning—backed by the sugges- tion of a bitter experience—to young girls not to go on the stage. After reading Gov. Hadley’s remarks we be- lieve there won’t be enough halos to go around among the Republicans or enough prisons to hold all the Democrats. = = % - SS SS EFFECT OF LEGAL STUDY.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Spring Avenue Cars, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A. A. H., in his answer to Spring Avenue Pas- senger’s complaint in regard to the dirty, weather- beaten boxes that are being offered on the Spring line, seems to know just how it happens, His ex- cuse, why cars are dirty is that carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers, etc., are responsible for the existing con- ditions. Does hé mean to say that this same class of people do not use other lines where cars are in tip-top condition? .A. A. H. must be a narrow-mind- ed man, judging by the remark to dissatisfied pas- sengers to hire auto or horse and buggy if he or she does not like the service. That is not what we want (most of us could not have auto or rig if we did want either), What we want and are asking for is as good service as Other lines are having. THOMAS STREET.

Now, | was born in Austria, therefore am an Austrian by birth. I am a citizen of the United States by due process of the law, therefore am only a comm@ner. But at heart I am cosmopolitan—a citizen of the world, although only a “‘commoner.” I recognize most keenly that I am a victim of a system of slavery, without being reminded of that fact by any- one, and while I have the right to oppose existing conditions, I claim nothing for myself that I would not willingly concede to all. Therefore in princip!e I am as good as the bést, and if the drone is nobler than the honey bee, then the gtamp of nobility 1s more useful than I, and far above me. But I judge a man by his deeds only and if he doés not know the right, from wrong, then he is no man for me. He May be ever so tall and think himself far above me, and assure him that it Is so, but in his own mind only. I have no recognition of social nobility. 1 will sign an American name that sounds noble enough to me, JOHN DAVID BLACK. | To Make St. Louis Supreme. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While some: suggestions for improving the city are very good, I think they fall short of the best plan to attract capital and people. Are we making the best use of the facilities we have? Could we not af- ford to spend a little money providing cars to haul freight from the transit companies’ lines to the dif- ferent freight depots? I see cars loaded with rocks, ashes and other materials hauled on the street car lines and there is no good reason why shoes, tobacco and clothing could not be handled, saving the man- ufacturers quite a good sum of money. Is there any good reason why gas and electricity could not pe generated at the mines and piped into the city, giving us cheaper gas and solving the smoke problem? And I think any corporation seeking a public franchise should have the value of their plant appraised by 4 competent body of men and allowed to issue no bonds or stock beyond the value of the plant; no bond or stock to be valid without the signature of the City Register. WILLIAM HUBERT. What Is a Kiss? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. YT ask your readers “What is a kiss?” I read 80 much about kissing, especially in the “Notes and Queries,” that it is improper to kiss. I firmly be- Heve that a kiss is giving vent to the true feeling of love. Whether it is a man and a woman, a bOY and a girl, a parent and a child, let them embrace. each other and kiss to their hearts’ content. Now, Mr. Editor (to “Notes and Queries’), did you ever have a lover; are you married? Did you ever have a child? Did you ever Kiss them? And were there pacilli in it? I don’t think so. What was your feel- ing? Surely not hate! You are perhaps a member of a cult which. teaches ft is wrong to kiss, but to the winds with such a notion. Let us learn to love one another and there will be less murder and crime committed. When I was a lad, we used to play with the girls and we used to kiss them; there was nothing improper about it then, and I cannot under stand why it is improper now! HENRY G. MYERS. Roosevelt Slays Man-Slayers. fo the Wditor of the Post-Dispatch, I think the dally exploitation In the newspapers of Roosevelt's brutal pastime, aside from {ts disgusting features, revolting to all humanitarians, 1s pernicious and demoralizing in its influence over the untrained minds of youth, fosters and develops tendencies that corrupt and destroy childhood’s beautiful faith in al’ things pure and good. If Roosevelt would spend his money and idle hours fn slaying the ravenous beasts of hunger and want that are devastating our Chris- tian cities, savage beasts that rend and prey upon the souls of men, it would be a far nobler mission, Suicides would be fewer and our penitentiartes would cease to be overcrowded. We are taught that God created every living thing. If that be true, and believe it is, He created the wild beasts of the for ests and jungies and placed them there for a pur pose.

| “Bud” Dozier. When he finally did come home, the two masked men who had been waiting behind the snow- ball bush on his Westminster lawn since 10 o'clock did it in about three shakes of a lamb’s tall. Mr. Dozier first thought them robbers, but neither had a husky veice or seemed sure that his mask would stay on, 80 he knew them for something else. He did not cry out. He could have done so, but he knew there was a better chance that a policeman might stumble upon them than that one would become con- fused and run his way if he gave the alarm. An automobile was waiting. The cap- tive was handed to the rear seat. His captors climbed in beside him, and the car slipped under the midnight stars with the deep breathing of winds in the still woods. Mr. Dozier worked very hard on the answer. He had no enemies. He coud not think of anyone who could be ex- pected to ransom him. What could it mean? He concluded with a sigh that he was to be murdered. Every other theory gracefully yielded to this one ultimate conclusion. It had been some time since anyone from his walk of life had ‘been murdered in St. Louis, but it is con- stantly done in beoks, and it could hap- pen in real life here as well as any place. The Gas Plant The machine stopped before a dark gate. The captors lifted their man out, and they passed through in single file, Mr. Dozier in the middle. He knew this place. It was the gas plant. In the dim light he made out the retorts, the coal piles and the other dandmarks of that familiar spot. Even the balloon which he had many times seen filling there while await- ing an ascension by some bold voyager of the upper world strained white, and beautiful at its dock. Somehow it did not occur te Mr. Dozier that he was going up in that balloon. Subsequently he wondered that he had not thought of that as early as when the automobile turned into Rutger street. He had formerly never associated Rutger street in his mind with anything but balloons, and why he failed to do soon this occasion he could only explain by believing that kidnaped people are not mentally normal. They marched him up to the basket, and the short man unbound him. “Now, Mr. Dozier,” he said, “you are going ballooning. You will go alone, remain aloft as long as you please, and descend where you will. You will find the balloon ship-shape. If you are at all familiar with one of them, you will be in no danger. Indeed, about the only way in which you could possibly injure yourself would be to jump out. We have perfect confidence in your discretion.” With that they seized him bodily and lifted him into the basket, the anchor was slipped, and like a great puff of steam, the balloon shot into the in- verted bowl of night. Aloft. If there were any difference between this and death itself eur daring aero- naut could not imagine what it could pe. He collapsed in the basket, and lay there limp and expectant of that swift cataclysm which would remove ties the popular and personable Pres!- dent of the St. Louls Aero Club. ge

_there | | KIDNAPED. A STORY OF THE UNCHARTERED SEAS. BY CLARK McADAMS. T was no trick to capture and bind : Mr. Dozier took heart in the knees. He rose to a kneeling posture and peer- | ed over the gunwhale. Below him there was nothing. Above him were the stars. He was in space. He could hear his heart tick. He could feel a highér and colder world breathing throtgh the wickerwork of his basket. After watch- ing the rather same-looking scenery for a while, he decided that the balloon was no longer rising. This emboldened him to rise to his feet. Thus he stood for a long time, while the balloon sailed over the silent sea and through the sargassos of fleecy clouds. And thus he still stood when day laid its first bar of level light across the distant East. He Makes Observations. Day discovered to him some things he had not observed. For instance, there was a clock-like instrument hang- ing from one of the ropes which sus- pended the basket from the balloon. Mr. Dozier easily identified this ag the de- vice with which altitude is determined. He was bowling along at a height of

He Could Hear His Heart Tick. 7200 feet. This approximated a. mile and a half. As the light grew stronger he readily made out the earth, but whether it was his own or someone's else country he could not say. It pre- sented some of the aspects of his own eountry, but they were not pronounced. There was also another instrument. It required some study to make this out. It recorded the speed of the bal- loon. Mr. Dosler discovered that ue was making 6 miles. This surprised and alarmed him. Almost unconscious of motion at all, he was doing better than a mile a minute! No doubt he had drifted out upon one of the great highways of spece—possibly interplan- e space! What was to stop him?— aid prevent him from galling to sea or out of the atmosphere of our earth? He would have to navigate his bal- loon. That was clear. Good fortune had attended him thus far, but the time had come for him to help him- self. He studied the mechaniam of the balloon at length. He believed how to let out some of the would he try it? What ff he too much? He was rolling this from the sphere of his earthly activi-}, |.

H. H, ROGERS, From today’s New York World. Next to John D. Rockefeller H. H. Rogers was the most important figure among the Standard Oil group of mil- lionalres—the ablest.of the captains of industry, the organizer of all oil mon- cpoly gathered about him and perszon- ally the most picturesque of them all; ruthless and cold-blooded in his business relations, yet in private life the most companionable of men, a man of warm sympathies, philanthropist, sportsman, and manifesting an unysual capacity for friendship—altogether a singular blend of opposite characters.° Rebert Louis Stevenson would have been attracted by tho exhibition.of dua) personality made by the benefactor of fairhaven, the genial host of yachting cruises and the irascible and contepmt- yous witness mocking the efforts of a sovereign state to investigate his busi- ness methods. Like the rest of Mr. Rockefeller’s lieutenanta, lik» tile chief himself, Rog- ers came from tie rarks. His career is another of the o’er famiMar stories of the poor boy's rise to great riches. Its novel feature is to be found in the unique monument to his ambition, the Tidewater Rallroad, a one-man énter- prise, constructed al the cost of its vullder’s fortune, and in all likelihood at the cost of his life. It involves no wrench of the facts to find in the strain of carrying this burden , through ihe pantie of 1907 the indirect cause of i's death. The Ot] Trust now enters on @ new era. The period of construction has ended and the work of conservation be- gins. Will the new hands at the helm be able to preserve tne great monopoly from disintegration? Alexander's satrap could not hold his Empire together. Standard Oi! no ionger enjoys the ad- vantage of being @ decade in advance of the law. Legislation has overtaken it, devised remedies for the new problems of corporation contro! it has raised.

All those little ‘luxu+ ries’ are carefully protected and kept at top prices, yet love, the greatest ne- cessity of mankind, is the cheapest thing on the market. Why, it’s actually given away with every cup of tea and passed around like the favors at a co- tillon!’’ and the Cheerful Cyanic’s blue eyes flashed with scorn, “But how can you form a love trust,” inquired the sarcastic member in the pince-nez and the apple-blossom hat, “when you can’t trust ANYBODY in love?”’ “And when there’s so much compe- tition,”’ rejoined the blond kitten, swal- lowing a chocolate reflectively, ‘‘and the supply is so meager and the demand so frightfully enormous? There is only about one eligible man to ten girls, you know; and we can’t all marry him."’ “We might halve and quarter him,”’ suggested the sarcastic one, ‘‘or pass - him along in the divorce court.’’ “That,”’ remarked the Cheerful Cynic thoughtfully, “‘would be encouraging his egotism by fighfing over him. The trouble is that all of us—er—small deal- ers are trying to undersell one another. Everey woman is willing ot cut down the -price of her favors if she can only run another woman out of business.

She watched expectant- ly as the “professor” extracted a % gold piece from Si’s ear, passed a watch through his back, and extracted yards of ticker tape from his shoes. Si looked bored. Finally the conjurer began to coax at Si’s beard, and, to the amaze- ment of the spectators, out hopped three little white rabbits. “Wal,” said Mrs. Perkins triumphant- ly when Si resumed his seat, “I guess that surprised ye some, didn’t it?” Si seemed almost surprised ‘that she should think so. “Why, no,” he final- ly drawled. “I didn’t like to say noth- in’ about it, but I’ve been sorter suspec- in’ that them rabbits wus thar for some time.”’ Well, What if He Didn’t?

‘By JOHN K. MAGINATION 7 the silver lin- ing to many a dark cloud. Yet a determined effort is being made to discourage the ‘cultivation of this faculty. This opposition was born of an idea that a monstrous moral evil was in- volved in the idea of Santa Claus. It has been held that when the child discovers that St. Nick is a fiction it also discovers that its parents are liars. The hypothesis is far-fetched. To rob childhood of its Santa Claus would be a crime! Life in later years becomes a pretty cold-blooded reality and childhood should not be pauperized. The routine of life is naturally prosy, its imagination—its fancies and its fic- tion—lend color and beauty to an other- wise dull and menotonous canvas. Take from us the joys and comforts that are the joint heirs of our imagina- tion and you rob us of our art, our music, our literature and our religion. Art would lose most of its inspiration were it purely imitative. The great Madonnas are the supreme triumphs of imaginative art. Eliminate the imaginative from our music and all the masterpieces that have glorified the world would die into the nerveless wailings of an aeolian monotone. The imaginations of Shakspeare and Fielding, Scott and Thackeray, Dick- ens, Irving and De Maupassant have introduced us to many of our most interesting associates, our most com- panionable friends. What man would not sacrifice many a material friend rather than part ac- quaintance with Falstaff, Tom Jones, Col. Newcome, Mr. Pickwick or Rip Van Winkle? It will not do to confound imagi- nation with prevarication. The one is the wings of literature, the other is the dregs of deceit.

He fairly startled the spectators by standing about ten feet back in the grass, , Probably fifteen feet deeper than the average first baseman would play. In this way he permits the right fielder to play deeper and he takes care of short flies. At the same time, he is able to cover more ground on a ground ball, (MMY WILLIAMS beat out an in- J field hit yesterday.

HAVE LAUGHED Al O’Brien Proved Too Frail to Make Impression on Gigan- tic Champion.

RY ROBERT EDGREN, FHILADELPHIA, May 2.—forty-five hundred fight-mad spectators shrieked encouragement to “Philadelphia Jack’ O’Brien last night as the agile Quaker used every trick at his command to outpoint Jack Johnson. Had any decision been given it would have gone to O’Brien by a small margin. He used al! of his remarkable speed and skill to outbox the gigantic negro and keep out of danger. While it always looked as if Johnson was about to land a knockout, O’Brien weathered his rushes and at the finish was the fresher of the two. Johnson did practically all of the dam- age and showed that had he been in any kind of condition O’Brien would have had no right in the same ring. But Johnson, with his usual disregard Jof public opinion, came into the ring as fat as a prize porker at a country fair. It was evident that he had not trained and his body was round and of a shiny smoothness. There‘were fat wrinkles on his neck and at his elbows when he doubled his great arms. Before the first round was over he was puffing like a fat man after chasing a car and ‘he perspiration dripped so fast that he left a trail as he moved about the ring. O’Brien’s punches, except one that half closed Johnson's left eye and a few that found his stomach in the last rounkl, did no damage, yet-at the end of the sixth Johnson was so slow that he couldn’t get out of his own way. It was a sorry showing for a ehampion and a man: practically matched to fight Jim Jeffries for the greatest honor the prize ring has to give. I said Johnson did all of the. actual damagé. In the first round he looked like a sure winner. He knocked O’Brien down heavily with a terrible left to the stomach, swinging his heavy arm stiff and straight like a club. Later in the fight he landed a right hander that closed O'’Brien’s left eye completely and another right that nearly lifted the Quaker from his feet and must have loosened his téeth. It was a great crowd that jammed its way into the National Atheltic Club. There was $23,000 in the house—a figure touched only once before in Philadel- phia—when Terry McGovern — Bat- tling Nelson fought. At the call for the sixth and last round both men met and reaching ‘ar out touched the tips of their gloves cautiously in imitation of a handshake. O’Brien immediately missed a left .and got a jarring right on the jaw for his failure. He jumped in again and drove his left into Johnson's stomach. That blow hurt. Enraged, the ebony giant floundered after O’Brien as fast as his tired legs would let him. Shifting and wriggling to get out of danger ‘‘Phila- delphia Jack’’ ducked right under John- son’s extended arms and came up behind him, Again he jammed a left into the big black man’s stomach. Johnson winced, but returned the blow in kind. Then, as if he didn’t like the sport very much, he backed away toward the ropes, while O’Brien danced about him in and out, stinging like a hornet. Two more he landed just over the spot that has been softened by a champagne diet ever since that famous fight in Australia. The big negro fell completely upon the defensive and slapped O'Brien's blows down. O’Brien was tiring, but he wasn’t winded like the fat and now unwieldly giant. “One more minute, Jack,’’ chant- ed the ringside, encouragingly. O’Brien, who had the six-round game down to a science, took no more chances, but jumped about swiftly, content with making Johnson miss. So the fight ended. Johnson was never in real danger of anything by losing his breath through entine lack of condition. O’Brien was in danger often enough, but his really remarkable skill puiled him through Without any more sérious injury than a few bruises. He received ten times as much beating in the bloody fight with. Ketchel. Stanley, by the way, house with a broad grin on his face. If Johnson is in no better shape when he meets the industrious slugger from Montana, it will be goodnight, oh, you “dark mystery.’’ As for Jeffries, if he had been at the ringside he would have laughed himself sick. LACK OF CONDITION COSTS KETCHEL’S FRIENDS MONEY Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, May 20.—Lack of condi- tion of Stanley Ketche!l in his six-round bout with Hugh McCann Tuesday night, enabled cértain wise Pittsburg men to turn a neat trick and unlimited wealth through betting on McCann to stay six rounds against the Michigan wonder. Ketchel reached Pittsburg 36 hours be- lore he went into the ring with . Mc- Clann, and while he was not dissipating, the thoughtful ones soon found that. he Was not training, nor had he trained for McCann, who had worked hard in Pitts- burg, and was really in the best of con- dition. Satisfied that Ketchel was being taken off his guard, the wise ones plunged heavily on McCann to stay the six rounds, and found takers at long odds. As a result, the friends of Ketchel lost heavily. A tank of oxygen helped Me- hore stay the six rounds. “Track 20,—Ed

BIG NEGRO left the club-|

CRY has been lifted in this deso- A late corner of baseballdom to know what has happened to the good that was promised Lou Criger would bring to the team. It is cited that he would strengthen the Browns 15 per cent; that he would head off the base running of the enemy; tighten up the defense of the entire team, and, yea, even capture the celebrated goat of Ty Cobb. It is added that the team now occupies a lowly and humble place in 1909 base- ball annals and that the multitude wants to know what the dickens is Leu Criger doing to help the team. In the little matter of the Angora de Cobb it is possible that Lou let the ani- mal slip its tether. It can safely be said, however, that he had. the said butter-in for two entire and consecutive days. But for the rest, inquirers, Lou has fulfilled his bond to the letter, and if the team is yet lowly in standing it ‘s because it has not yet found the legs with which to cling higher. Lou shows in every game that he is a power in holding together the defense of the club. And if you would find what he has meant to the team, examine the pitching staff. Criger has made Graham a winner. He has put something into Jack Powell that pitcher never before possessed, despite his poor showing of Wednesday. He has breught Pelty round to effectiveness, after that player had been almost useless for two years. He is impreving Bailey and against New York he completed his task by making Criss, fof ence since he has joined the big league, find the plate with his won- derful speed and great breaks. This re- infercement- of the pitching staff alone is worth all McAleer gave for him. Could Spencer have done anything liks it? Echo answers—well, it was too far off to hear. iaeieeadl Starr refused to shine for Boston Wednesday, and possibly that explains why Dahlen was back in the game. Naturally, the New York Americans resort frequently to the moist curve, with a Lake to draw upon. N is the most wonderful thing in baseball today Dode Criss, on the field, reminds one of a 14-year-old giant at frolic. Every time he moves you ex- pect him to spike himself. A man of marvelous power, he has yet to ‘‘find’’ himself. Out of his sheer strength he made himself a wonderful record, last year, as a batter. This year, with Lou Criger at the helm, he promises to make a marvelous pitcher—that was his orig- inal field of endeavor, as perhaps you remember. But that he will ever make a’ baseball EXT to Rube Waddell, Dode Criss

player is one for the crystal gazers to put over. Dode lacks speed in getting about. to the extent that he will always be handi- capped. Even if he returns to the hit- ting form of last year, he can never be utilized In the outfield, because of his want of fleetness and the tendency of fly balls to hit him on his mansard. As a pitcher he seemed especially awkward, Wednesday, and Rube Wad- dell in his most absent moments could seem no more out of place fielding his job than Dode. But then Criss is still nervous. He is from Blossom Prairie, where every one makes good. He is eager to do the same here, especially after his holdout for more salary. When Dode settles down he will doubtless do better. At any rate Dode has the backbone and when his awe of the onlooking multitude wears off he may be able to field the pitcher's box acceptably. Rube: and he has the makings of a pitcher such as may possibly put him on a par with the big southpaw. Dode occasioned a laugh at hig awk- wardnesr Wednesday, but if Lou Criger can keep the big fellow finding the plate as he did, or a trifle better, there will be another comet in the American League pitching firmament. McAleer promised it for last season, but Eddie Spencer was incapable of preventing Dode from exchanging his position as pitcher for that of an avia- tor, right in the busy time of a baseball afternoon. A year—and Criger~—may bring Jeems’ prediction to pass. divisien of the National League. Any little jostie is likely to wreck the entire arrangement. And a stiff jolt may startle the Cincinnati club into falling out of fourth place. T’S a desperate work in the second The difference between the races in the American League and the National is shown by the percentages after Wednesday’s games. Between the lead- ing team and the tail end club in the National the difference was but .220. In, the American it was .404 The standing in the American League, as at present constituted, spells one thing strongly—that youth will be served: Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia and New York are far in the lead, and these teams are built of young men with a veteran team framework. The dash, vim and fire of youth has, for the time at least, brought these clubs to the front. In the second division are the staid oldsters and veteran teams— Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, even Washington. But then the race is early and unsea- soned limbs tire when the Marathon route reels out into the half-way point. But at present the favorite to win is YOUTH.

Than I,” Says Parental Fan. The smallest player on the five teama now playing the final series of the Post- Dispatch Pifblic School Baseball League championshp is Arthur Forrest, catcher of the Fanning team. Forrest is 13 years old, weighs but 8 pounds and is 4 feet 6 inches in height. 8 But the dimunitive catcher has held his position against bigger and stronger boys on the team. He has done it be- cause of his cleverness and his basebal! head. His father, William Forrest; 352; Humphrey street, a former baseball player, began teaching the boy the rudi- ments of the game before he was 6 years old, and the boy now knows all the fine points of the great national sport. “When Arthur. was 9 years eld,’’ the father told a Post-Dispatch reporter Wednesday, “he knew the names of all the players in the big leagues. YWZvery time I get a chance I bring him out to the games with maand explain things to him. The only trouble now is that he understands the game as well as I do and there are very few things I see that he misses.’’ Fanning Team Leads, The Fanning team is now leading the four other division pennant winners in the race for the public school champion- ship. Forrest has helped considerably in the victories of his team. His father’s theory of baseball is that the game should be run from behind the bat. So his son, in believing this, Linsists upon his fellow players observ- ing it. He will not get into position be- hind his bat until all of the players are in their proper places. If a fielder is 15 feet from where he should be, young Forrest’s quck eye catches this imme- diately and he will yell out to the player to get into position. For so small a boy he has a very good arm, and because he has the quick- ness of a cat, it is a very clever base stealer who gets by him. The boy is modest about the record that he has made on the diamond this year. Praises His Comrades. ‘Tt’s all in knowing the game,” he said. “I take a lot of time \thinking it all out, and maybe that’s the reason I have been able to play better and to hold my position against bigger boys. “Then, the Fanning team is a great team—they understand team work and they work right with you when you are trying to play for the whole team and mot for one position. We have had some good coaches and I have learned a lot from them.” Mr. Forrest told a Post- Dispatch re- porter that the Post-Dispatch Public School Baseball League has done much to improve the playing of the boys at the schools. “Organized baseball is what we want,”’ he said. ‘It makes the boys play a more consistent game and keeps them in training. They have something defi- nite to go out for and that always is beneficial. I believe that some of the boys now playing in the league will be- come great baseball players.’’ Owing to the fact that Grounds No. 1 in Forest Park will not be available afternoon, the game scheduled for that time between the Doziers and Fannings will be played at Hodiamont and Etzel avenues. DOCTOR, UNABLE TO DIGEST FOOD SEEKS PERMISSION TO HAVE LIFE ENDED PAINLESSLY Hope Gone, He Asks Attending Physician to Get From Health Board Authority to Kill Him. OWATONNA, Minn., May 20.—Because there is no food stuff that he can eat or drink and retain in his stomach, Dr. T. L. Hatch has requested his attending physician, Dr. W. C, Roberts, te apply to the State Board of Health for legal authority to put him out of the way. For several months Hatch has been gradually wasting away on account of his inability to assimilate food. For the last two or three weeks he has eaten no solid food and only by the greatest effort has his physician succeeded in administering enough water to keep his patient alive, The most highly nutrious substances known to medical science tained undigested. The process of ane- mia in Dr. Hatch’s case is accompanied by complications which have baffled pathological science. Dr. Roberts spoke before the Minne- sota State Homeopathic Institute, now in session in Minneapolis, and invited suggestious from all members of the profession. In @ purely business way Dr. Hatch had asked Dr. Roberts if he could not be given an anaesthetic by. authoriza- tion of the Board of Health or other State power. Being a doctor himself he said he realized the peculiarity of his case. He considers it hopeless and pre- fers to be put out of the way in @ humane manner rather than to live uD- der present conditions. ‘(eee Lecture om Ancient Irish Music.

NEW YORK, May 2.—That the policy of the National Manufacturers’, ASso- clation is to be as warlike as ever to- ward organized labor was shown in the speech of acceptance of John Kirby, the new president. “My policy is the policy of David M. Parry and J. W. Van Cleave,” he said. “Multiplied by two!’ yelled an en- thusiastic delegate, and Mr. Kirby smiled assent. “The question that is uppermost our minds today is the labor question,”’ he continued., ‘I have been elected as your president, not on account of my ability, not on account of my national reputation, but because you know where I stand on the labor question.” As an illustration of methods to be pursued, Mr. Kirby referred to an in- cident of the Civil War in which Gov. Seymour of New York attempted un- successfully to quell a riot in Troy with a pacific speech. Artillery for the Lawless. “Then a Captain wheeled a 12-pound gun into line and the rioters dispersed in every direction. That’s my way of dealing with a criminal,’’ cried Kirby. “The only way to handle that animal is to take him by the herns and shake the cussedness out of. him. “The labor question involves a great principle that should not be com promised if America is to stay America.”’ He asserted that the life of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor was hanging by a thread, in proof of which he said: “It is seeking the aid of women’s clubs, the aid of the Y. M. C. A. and every philanthropic organization it can stick its wicked head into, and planting the seeds of socialism and anarchy.” He told of a lodge of organized labor using a Y. M. C. A. “to denounce in- junctions and the courts. He wanted members of the association who were supporters of the Y. M. C. A. to see that the same thing did not happen in the organizations to which they extended aid. President Kirby denounced all men of prominence who gave personal recogni- tion to leaders of the American Federa- tion of Labor. “We find men of prominence, who ought to be ashamed of themselves, har- boring the leaders of that organization and sending them out over this country to address women’s clubs,’’ Mr. Kirby went on. “‘That is the greatest danger we have. If it had not been for that class of people organized labor of the militant type would be as dead as a mackerei today. “Take away the lawlessness, the vi- ciousness, the picket, coercion and such criminal acts, and let organized labor stand squarely and fairly as a business proposition, and we can solve the labor problem without any of this philanthrop- ic aid which these people think they are giving for the benefit of humanity.” Mr. Van Cleave of St. Louis received a bronze tablet commemorating his ad- ministration, a check for 310,000, a dia- mond ring and a ruby stickpin.

The chief work of the day is the election of moderator, and after a for- mal morning session, at which the Rev. Dr. B. P.

The victim’s hands were shattered and the left eye destroyed. The crafty banker had filled the watch case with dynamite, which exploded in the operation of wind- ing.
