DENVER, Colo., May 20.—After quot: ing the Uniled States census reports. to show that 945,625 divorces have been granted in the United States in twenty years, the committee on marriage and divorce in its report to the Pr2sbyterian General Assembly today calls the in- crease in divorces alarming and asks permission to study the subject further and report to the next Assembly. “The census,’ the report says, “tells a Story that surprises the people and shames a Christian nation.’’ Continuing the report says: “Although it is a fact to be deplored that this scandal, and sin and sorrow re- ‘sulting from the laxity of law that '*@ance and that the efforts to resist and lessen these evils, that threaten the per- manence and purity of the family life, the stability of the State and the life ing, yet the united efforts of the churches, of national and State officials and organizations of the Bar Associa- tion of the United States and conspicu- / @uply the faithful and persistent work of the National Divorce Congress which invited ropresentatives of the inter- church conference to cenfer with it, en- courage us to believe that the movement has made great progress and to hope that réforms will be accomplished which wil! in time wipe out much of the dis- honor and disgrace that makes Chris- tian America conspicuous in permitting a laxity that makes our record our shame, “There is « Sotrene sentiment yet against the eractment of a national law reguiating marriage and divorce, owing to the jealousy of States to preserve their rights. But the States should seek the closest possible uni- formity and secure the least possible perplexity and the best results for the purity of our people, and for the peace and prosperity of our Christian nation.” After quoting statistics the report , concludes: “Burely this surprising and alarm- {mgm increase in the number of di- Yorces granted should call a hajt and impress all who care for their coun- try and love righteousness with the hecessity of discovering if possible the causes of such a condition, and re possible: cure for sueh a calam- y" bl WEATHER WILL BE LIKE PURSE AFTER SHOPPING TOUR; RO CHANGE NT “It wasn't the brook that said it, at all,” said the real estate man, ‘Said what?’ the

| WOMAN DOCTOR FAVORS BOXING JOKERS’ EARS WHEN THEY CALL |HER “FEMALE LADY DOCTORESS” Miss Dr. Richardson Tells Banque:- ers She’s Fought Ten Years ‘for “M. D.” Title. If a doctor be a doctor though she be a Can a doctorina doctor in a—goodness, what a mess! Here’s a Soeee eaves she’s doctor, though she "Tis a doctrine needin’ * doct’rin’ —as the read- er may have

For ten years Miss Dr. Ethel H. Rich- ardson of Quincy, Ill., has been battling for her right to be called the doctor instead of a “female lady doctoress,’’ which title she declares some horrid men have conferred upon her. Miss Dr. Richardson told the other banqueters at the Elks’ Club in Bast St. Lousi Thurs- day night that if every woman who practiced medicine wouid box the ears of every male who practiced jokes at her expense, the prejudice against the woman M. D. would disappear. With the exception of the toastmaster, Capt. Robert B. Lee of St. Louis, who is an editor, all the banqueters were doc- tors and doctoresses. The doctoresses were the wives of the 125 Missouri and Illinois doctors who dined. Miss Dr. Richardson stoutly denied that she was a doctoress. She said she won the degree of M. D. ten years ago, but had to wait a year for her license, because she was only 20 when she was graduated. “Look out, Doc, or you'll tell your age!’ cried the toastmaster. “A woman M. D.,” continued Miss Dr. Richardson, “is simply a doctor—a plain doctor.” “Not all of them are plain,’ inter- rupted a gallant male M. D., whose. wife, a doctoress, doctorina or doctorine, sat beside him and looked lances and scalpels at the object of his gallantry. EATING IS THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE, ASSERTS WOMAN WHO IS NOW A CENTENARIAN “our Meals on Her One Hundredth Birthday Is Proof of Sound- ness of Theory. CHICAGO, May 21.—Mrs. Dinah F. Sprague, the oldest living member of the Women’s Relief Corps—the women’s adjunct to the G. A. R.—celebrated her one hundredth birthday yesterday by eating four big meals. Mrs. Sprague is as apry as the average woman of 50, and attributes her longevity to eating. This is what she ate today: BREAKFAST. Two cups of strong coffee.

I’ve done it all my life and never had to call in a doctor but once, and that was in my ninety-first year, when I fell down on the ice and broke my arm.” ROOSEVELT KILLS BUFFALO AND HE AND KERMIT GET ANOTHER Hunting Excursions Are Being Con- tinued From Camp on Heatly Ranch.

WIFE TAKES CHILDREN Assumes Place With Husband and Girls Reliquished by Young Mother. A new and stern,. though kindly, so- lution of an ancient problem, wuver full of pathos, has been found axzd applied in St. Louis te the case of the Rev. G. F. Schenk, an Evangelical pastor, and Miss Gertrude Wolff, 20 years old, of flower-like beauty, who has been .a member of his househoud ever since spe was 13. The situation in the Rev. Mr. Schenk’s domestic affairs was revealed when Marianna Demkowska, a Polish woman, came to St. Louis with Mrs. Schenk re- cently, and, after her arrival as a guest at the Schenk home mentioned conditions there to several persons. Ar ong others, this information reached the ears of Dr. A. Siebert of 1687 South Jefferson avenue, a friend of the Schenk family. He called Ger- trude Wolff and the Rev. Louis Sued- meyer, pastor of the Evangeiical Church at Hermann, Mo., into a consultation, last Saturday which ended in the girl’s signing a promise to leave America at once and never to communicate with the Rev. Mr. Schenk. . Girl Will Return to Fatherland, Mr. Schenk is now pastor of the [Cvan- gelical Church at Stolpe, near Hermann. Miss Wolff has left his home and is stopping with the family of the Rev. Dr. Sueuwmeyer, preparatory te her de- parture for her old home in Konigsbursg, Germany. Meanwhile, in the Schenk home at Stolpe, a cool white cottage among the spreading trees, alongside the new con- crete church and the little cemetery to the very edge of which nod the peony blossoms, two little girls romp on the lawn, unconscious o the impending crisis in their lives. Miss Gertrude _| Woltt, their mother, never.has_ been Evidently the parentage of the chil- Schenck to turn against the little enes, for she mothers *hem and cares for them as theugh they were her own. Un- til Gertrude Wolff broke her promise, by returning to the Schenk home, in- stead of leaving for Europe, it was supposed by Pastor Schenk’s parish- ioners’ that .he. and -Mrs. Schenk had adopted the children in Switzerland. Nobody suspected that the pretty Ger- trude was other than their foster-moth- er. The young mother later left the Schenk residence and is now with Pas- tor Suedemeyer’s family. If Mme. Demkowska, wife of a Polish merchant resident near Warsaw, had not come to this ceuntry with Mrs. Schenk a few weeks ago, perhaps it would not have been known that Ger- trude bore the children or that Pastor Schenk ever had looked on the youth- | ful Gertrude with eyes of love. Gave Asylum to Refu Mme. Demkowska was a fugitive from the Russian courts. She had been cen- victed of carrying a red flag on the street and sentenced to twe years in fie penitentiary. She appealed her case and left Poland while at liberty on bond. When Mme. Demkowska reached th? Schenk home, then at 1716 Ohio avenue— Pastor Schenk had not as yet been called to Stolpe—she was shocked to learn that a clergyman should love a weman not his wife. And she mentioned the matter to several persens. Meanwhile Mme. Demkowska was taken ill and sent to a hospital. Pastor Schenk, Frau Schenk, the two “adopt- ed children” whem the wife had brought from Switzerland, and Gertrude, all moved to the parsonage at Stolpe, where Pastor Schenk preached his first sermon a week ago Sunday. Dr, Siebert was a friend of the Rev. Mr, Schenk. The Rey. Mr. Suedmeyer was the nearest minister of that faith to Pastor Schenk’s parish. So Dr. Suedmeyer brought Gertrude to St. Louls and a conference was held be- tween the minister, the physician and the girl. Before the conference closed Gertrude signed her promise to- quit America. A. Post-Dispatch reporter called on the Rev. Mr. Schenk at Stolpe, where St. John’s Church, cemetery and par- sonage occupy a shaded slope in “IPREA CHER dren has not caused the heart of Mrs. Mrs. Louisa, SCHENS AND WIFE, AND WOMAN WHO FOUND.

I would have been honored. for caring for these chii- dren.”’ Regrets Not Getting Divorce. The mirister added that he considered his greatest mistake was in not obtain- ing a diverce wo his wife 18 years ago. “It was because of Gertrude that I would not come to this country,” said Mrs. Schenk. “I had planned to get a divorce and come afterwards, thinking I would settle some place near this lit- tle family—tHe pastor, Gertrude and the girls—so I could be a mether to all of them should they need a mother. I hought it would make my husband Happier if I were where he could see me once in a while and known how I was getting along. “TJ had the girls with me in Zurich. The oppertunity came for me to come to America and I took advantage of it. I wanted to see my husband. He had written me that he was very unhappy. So I wanted te be with him,, in spite of Gertrude.”’ Dr. Siebert, who tried to persuade Gertrude to leave this country before her story became known, learned the details of this drama from Mrs. Schenk. GirPs Romance Began at 13. “She told me,” Dr. Siebert said to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “‘that the Rev. Mr. Schenk first began to pay atten- tions to Gertgude when she was a child of 13 and in their home as a companion to their son, who died.”’ SLAYER REGRETS FAILURE T0 KILL ENTIRE FAMILY Sorry Shot Fired at His Wife and Others in House Went Astray.

Bishop, 29 years old, declared he was sorry he had not suc- ceeded in killing all of the Hutchinson family and his wife, as well, who was with the Hutchinson family at the time Hutchinson was killed. “They have run it over me long enough,”’ declared Bishop, in jail at In- dianola. “They were responsible for my wife leaving me and fer her actions. which made it necessary that I get a di- vorce, and I just couldn't stand it any longer. I got my shotgun and went up ‘ ere to kill the whole crowd. I am only sorry I dida’t succeed,” Bishop got a divorce from his wife two weeks ago. He charged she had been guilty of misconduct with Hutch-

MARRIED FIFTY YEARS

Hardly Spoke for 2 Weeks and Insisted on Sitting Alone - With Patient.

Fearing that her husband, with whom she had lived happily nearly 50 years, was going to die from old age, Mrs. Catherine Kraft, aged 67, committed sui- hie in her daughter's home at 706 Geyer avenue Friday by hanging her- self to the attic rafters. After watching nearly through the night at the bedside of her sick hus- band, Conrad, Mrs. Kraft removed her shoes and slipped quietly into the attic. She stood on a box, fastened a rope around her neck and jumped off. The body was found at 6:30 a. m. by Mrs. Mary Miller, who occupies a part of the house, when she went to the attic to get her wash boiler. For two weeks Mrs. Kraft has been brooding over the condition of her hus- band. The aged couple lived with their daughter, Mrs. Julia Frank. Had Appeared Despondent. Mrs. Kraft had spoken only in mono- syllables for the past two weeks, and appeared despondent: She had been waiting on her husband during the day, while the daughter and her husband took care of him at night. He is en- feebled with age. Thursday night Mrs. Kraft insisted on sitting up with her husband. She sent the daughter te bed, but called her at 2 a. m. to give the sick man a dose of medicine. Mrs. Frank returned to bed, leaving her mother sitting in a chair in the sick room. Some time be- tween 2 and 5:30 a. m. Mrs. Kraft went to the attic and hanged herself to the rafter. Mrs. Frank said her father and mother had always been boon companions and that thefr married life had been ex- ceedingly happy. She left no message of explanation.

The experience of sufferers from stomach trouble, who have tried the tonic treatment with Dr. Pink Pills, has been that their trouble has disappeared as soon as the blood was made pure. ders of the stomach, as catarrh of the stomach, acid stomach, nervous dyspep- sia, neuralgia of the stomach, gastrisis, and lack of tone, have the same under- lying cause—impure blood. In each case the stomach is weak. Dr... Wil- liams’ Pink Pills supply the stomach with the strength it needs by enrich- ing and purifying the blood. Pure blood gives tohe to the nerves, muscles and glands of the stomach and makes it able to properly perform the work of digestion. rs. W. J. Linebaugh, of R. F. D. No. 1, Clearmont, Mo., says: “Some years ago I was suffering in- tensely with what the doctors called neuralgia of the stomach. When the trouble began I was in a run-down con- dition from exposure and a severe cold. For nearly five years I was in very poor health. I had severe pains across my stomach, and, when they were the worst, it seemed as though I was being eut with a knife. These pains would be two or three days in coming on. My heart would flutter and I would have to gasp for breath. After these at- tacks I would be so weak that I could not work and was often confined to my bed for a week or more. “I became discouraged with my doc- tors for they did not help me and then tried Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills. At was only a few days before I could see a change for the better. I took the pills until eured and have never had any trouble with my atomach since.” That the principle of the tonic treat: ment is sound is proved by the thou- sends of curés,made by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. netual results war- rant every with stomach trou- ‘ble piNe a fair trial.

All worthy and excellent editions at a fraction of the prices asked for the so-called editions De Luxe

Frankly speaking, it is really difficult to convey to you the extent of the values we are offering without appearing to misrepresent. For that reason we have made no allusion whatever to ‘‘publishers’ original price’’ or ‘‘subscription list price,’? because those prices are far beyond what the books are really worth; that is, figuring the intrinsic value of the edition, and not of the literature. We are, however, asking absolutely the lowest prices ever named for these complete works, and figures on the identical books are quoted throughout ‘the United States by reputable book stores at prices fully 25 to 100 per cent in excess of ours. It is an opportunity for St. Louisans to secure works of the great standard authors at a positive saving.

Beuve found employment with the Glencoe Lime and Cement Co. nearly a year , but about three weeks ago he Was harged, because the company had no work for him. He was 64 years o.i and }.ad not saved any money. He was forced to beg board and lodging. Several nights he slept outdoors. former fellow-employes saw the old Man around the quarries Wednesday. Fle was despondent and complained bit- terly. Later in the day they heard a ter- rific explosion, which shook the build- ings in the neighborhood. Beuve’s mangled body wag found in the quarry. An examination of the dy- namite store showed that two sticks of powder and a fuse had ‘been stolen. St. Louis County authorities know nothing of Beuve’s antecedents.

At a public hearing conducted by the Council's Committee on Public Improve- ments to determine whether work on the bridge shall begin in default of an additional $500,000 required to complete it without railroad approaches, Chair- man Schutz and Frank H. Gerhart ex- changed several personal retorts. After four attempts to present his ar- guments, and as many rebuffs at the hands of Chairman Schutz, Mr. Gerhart was squeliched by an adjournment of the hearing. To Councilman Schutz, therefore, be- longs the distinction of being the only eity official who has ever checkmated Mr. Gerhart. ) Mr, Gerhart was the first speaker at Thursday's hearing. He had said but a few words when Chairman Schutz eautioned him that he must keep strict- ly to a discussion of the two questions under consideration.’ These were, first, whether work should commence on a bridge without railroad approaches and in the face of a deficit of 3500,000, and secondly, whether the amount of this present shortage should be obtained through an increase in the tax rate or an issue of bonds. Gerhart Says $3,500,000 Is Enough. Mr. Gerhart explained he proposed to attack the estimates furnished by Boller & Hodge, the engineers, as ‘o the cost of the bridge, and attempt to prove that the $3,500,000 already in the treasury is enough. “We won’t hear that said Schutz, “Did you ever think ,the estimates that have been made are purposely too high so that people may be discour- aged and abandon the whole project?” Mr. Gerhart asked. ‘Phat remark shows the wisdom of confining you to the issue,’’ Mr. Schutz said. | “T realize that I am at your mercy, but I think I have been treated discour- teously,”’ Gerhart returned in a loud voice, as he took his seat. Gerhart In Silenced. After Arthur B, Barret had spoken, a champion of Mr. Gerhart asked that Gerhart be allowed to resume his argu- ment. Without waiting for the chair- argument,”’ man’s decision, Gerhart began to talk. Ten words took him into a mags of fig- ures. Chairman Schutz refused to per- mit Gerhart to continues, and he sub- sided. A moment afterwards Mr. Schutz pre- vened Councilman Drew from asking Mr. Lionberger one of his famous ques- tions. Mr. Drew wanted to know why $3,500,000 was ever regarded as enough money for a free bridge. He didn’t get the information. Mr. Schutz dis- played his previous dislike of figures. “This is the first time in many years that I have been denied the privilege of discussing at a’public hearing what is germane,’ Mr, Gerhart called to Chairman Schutz across the Council chamber. “I can't help that,’” Mr. Schutz an- swered, as he recognized another speak- er. At 4:30 p. m., .two hours after the hearing opened, Gerhart arose again and was about to demand the floor, but Chairman Schutz said quickly: “The hearing stands adjourned.” Sheridan Webster declared that the question of additional cost was sus- pected by many to be a pretext for new argument and delay, and that it gave the enemies of the bridge a chance to renew their fight. Situation Is Suspicious, Says Webster. “The whole situation is suspicious,” cried Mr. Webster. He was loudly ap- plauded. Other advocates of a prompt degin- ning were A. Wackman, J. A. J. Schuits, I. H. Bawyer, C. F. Blanke, J. V. S. Barret, Arthur B. Barret, John B. Holman and P. J. Kavanaugh. Isaac H. Lionberger, J. F. O. Reller and Fred B. Wind opposed the expendi- ture of any money until the question had again been submitted to the peo- ple. Isaac H. Lionberger left with the com- mittee a petition for a submission of the question to the voters.

F., May 21.—The Allan Line steamer Mongolian early today freed herself from the ice pack off the entrance to St. Johns harbor, in which she had been imprisoned for two days. The Mongolian, after releasing herself from the ice pack did not make any attempt to enter St. Johns harbor, ice conditions making such a course ap- parently impracticable. The steamer worked off shore and at 8 a. m. was making slow progress through the heavy drift ice. The little coastal steamer Prospero, which was caught in the ice while trying to force its way to the Mon- golian, freed itself yesterday from the jam and returned to the harbor. The heavy easterly swell which set in last night broke up the ice pack and enabled the Mongolian to shake herself free. All night there was constant com- motion in the great field, the big bergs twisting and turning, while the pressure on the steamer was greater than ever before. Steams Through Crevice. Dawn revealed open water within a few miles of the steamer. A little later a crevice opened out through which the Mongolian steamed te comparative safe- water. For the first hour or two it was slow work, as the ice was still heavy and continually driving in on the steam- er. On getting further off shore the floes opened out more and at 8 a. m. with fairly clear water, the Mongolian swung around and headed down the coast and around Cape Spear in the di- rection of Bay Bulls. It was thought at first that the Mon- golian might try to run into Petty Har- bor, five miles south, but her captain decided to keep on to the more sheltered harbor ef Bay Bulls, where it is expect- ed the steamer will remain until the movth eof St. John’s Harbor is cleared of ice. The weather today continued favora- ble, the wind holding light north with a cloudy sky. In shipping circles the release of the Mongolian is looked upon as particu- larly fortunate, as the conditions last night were threatening and an easterly gale would have seriously injured the vessel.

FERRERO HOLDS FINANCE REFORM DUE 10 JEALOUSY Historian Declares Anti-Pluto- cracy Is Fostered by Class Envy. PARIS, May 21.—Coentinuing his letters in Figaro, Signor Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian, who recently visited the United States, undertakes to explain today the moral upheaval in America of the last few years against some “methods of high finance.’’ He says that Europe, to comprehend America and the crisis preparing there, eheuld not confound the anti-plutocratic movement with Eurepean socialism. After reviewing the immense sensation caused by the crusade of individual writers und official inquiries and prose- cutions into matters of industry and finance, which he says have made Europe believe America was a seething caldron of moral corruption, Signor Fer- rero insists that a close examination compels a different conciusion. He gives it as his opinion that the anti-plutocratic movement was fostered by the jealousies of the middle classes against the rich and that ‘t borrowed many catcli words from socialism. Ite fundamental ‘dea, however, was, he said, to prove that America, so often accused of materialism, was sti!1 strong- ly inspired by puritanical tradition and democratic instincts “Let your Malted Milk be HOR- LICK’S.

Some slight palliation of this especial olio-crime was offered py Miss Alice Martin in her Hungarian and Russian dances, by Mrs. Paul Blackwelder’s achievement at the piano, and by Roger Baldwin's parody of the “I’ Pagliacci’’ prologue, in which he roasted the ‘Prix de Rome” players to a turn, but other- wise the crime was capital. No punish- ment can fit it—and that Frederick Oakes Sylvester wrote the skit intro- ducing the fearsome Salome of Daw- son-Watson’s creation makes him an accessory before the fact. Honest, it almost kill the audience— with laughter. Then Came the Guild’s All-Star Stock Company. And, right afterwards, the world-fa- mous Artists’ Guild All-Star Stock Com- pany presented Mrs. Saunders’ little play. In this play the players took all sorts of desperate chances. Frank M. Crunden, ene of the City Fathers though he is, interpreted the role of an Alsatian concierge, who slum- bered sweetly throughout most of the performance, despite the fact that he shamelessly revealed a pair of sabot- clad feet so Brobdignagian as to crush sleep out of all the narcotic poppies that ever grew to fight insomnia. He also spoke two lines in French that would have provoked a Parisian quar- antine on the spot—so awesome was the infection-menace of the Crunden ac- cent. Mrs. Saunders was Nina, his wife—she couldn’t help it. Apparently it drove her almost to distraction, because she helped Wuerpel to win the prize that sent him to study art in Rome, even though she knows well how many typical Wuerpel swamps there are between the seven hills of the Eternal City. Otherwise, Mrs. Saunders played most cleverly— and her little sketch was a marvel of brightness and humor. As for Wuerpel, he played himself, talking about “‘me and Whistler’ with a devil-may-care pluck—remembering how long-suffering St. Louis has been in that connection—worthy of a better cause. And he painted a while in his own peculiar vein, too—the only time he painted worse was when he switched to Sylvester’s style and committed crim- inal ‘libel against the Mississippi River precisely as Sylvéster does. Sylvester, too, played Sylvester—the audience not being “put wise” to the truth that nobody else could be per- suaded to stoop so low in art—and played it very well, considering the sub- ject. The one unforgivable thing he did was to paint a picture like Wuerpel paints—surely one Wuerpel is burden enough for St. Louis to groan under. But such an audience—actually, it laughed as one jests at wounds that never felt a scar! Percy Werner’s Disgraceful formance, Percy Werner was disgraceful. He was M. Julien Colarossi-Delecluse, whose duty it was to act as a jury in awarding ‘‘Le Prix de Rome’”’ in the competition of artists, but he devoted himself far more industriously to flirt- ing with Mrs. Albert Bond Lambert, who was Chiffon, an artists’ model— and a very sprightly and beautiful Chif- fon, too. Mr. Werner not only flirted right out in public with Mrs. Lambert, Per- but gave her a lovely necklace—where- upon she was so tickled that she took a cigarette from his case and smoked it down to the very “stub.” And both of them spoke—O, the sauclest French! Mrs. Frederick O. Svivester was 80 ashamed of her nusband's part in the performance that she disguised herself as Rosa, & near-artist from Peoria, and painted a pig-study calculated to “hog” ail the horrors from that other Rosa— Bonheur—but the audience never ‘“squealed’’ on her. It applauded, in- stead—especially when she insisted upon the immortal art-quality of the ‘‘second kink in.the last pig’s tail’’ in her maste:- piece. Carl Waldeck played a Holland paint- er to beat the Dutch, and Tom Barnett played himself so remorselessly as to actually speak lines proving that he was ON.

NEW YORK, May 21.—The funeral of Henry H. Rogers, president of the Amalgamated Copper Co. and active head, of the Standard Oil Co., today in the business and financial circles of this city. Although attendance at the services in the Church of the Messiah at 10 a. m. was limited to intimate business asso- ciates and personal friends, these in- cluded so many of the leaders df¢ the New York business and financial world that their absence from their usual ac- tivities had a noticeable effect upon the business of the financial district. Dr. Robert Collyer, pastor emeritus of the Chureh of the Messiah, and an ola friend of Mr. Rogers, conducted the funeral service, which was simple, following closely the Unitarian church customs. “It is no time for a sermon,” said Dr. Collyer, ‘‘only for some words about a dear friend.’’ Dr. Collyer spoke in a voice breaking with emotion at times as he referred to the numerous incidents which occurred during his long friendship with the dead man. Pastor Calls Him True Man. “I found him one,of the.truest men I ever met in my life,’”’ said the min- ister. “He was ever quietly and generously charitable, always doing good things -hrough others and avoiding the public knowledge of his modest acts,’’ Dr. Collyer referred to Mr. Rogers’ many benefactions to his home town at Fair Haven and spoke feelingly about the splendid church which he had built there in the memory of his mether—the church in which services will be held to- morrow. Was a Mother’s Boy. “He was a mother’s poy,’’ said Dr. Collyer, “and seldom let more than a few weeks slip by without visiting her in Fair Haven. He told me once that the sweetest memory of his life was the remembrance of the light in the win- dow which always welcomed him home to his wife and child when he first went into the oil regions of Pennsylvania.” Dr. Collyer spoke of the dead man’s great fondness for children, and said the school cnildren in Fair Haven all had loved him. “How glad I am to say these things about him before you all, many of whom have been his neighbors and been asso- ciates,’’ said Dr. Collyer in concluding his remarks. ‘“‘The memory of his friendship will grow sweeter as the years pass by and the good things he has done will never be forgotten.”’ Throughout the country, wherever the Standard Oil Co.™has a station or a branch, there was a pause during the hours of the funeral to mark the pass- ing of the first vice-president of the company and one of the men who helped matgrially to make it a great organiza- tion. Orders had been issued last night that all operations of ‘tne . company should cease between 10 and 12 o'clock, and these applied te every one of the 67,000' employes—a condition which had not existed in the giant corporation since it was founded, more than thirty- five years ago. Rockefeller Is Abscnt. John D. Rockefeller could not attend the funeral, as he is in Hot Springs, Va., with Mrs. Rockefeller, whose con- valescence from a severe illness would not permit him to leave her. He sent, however, a long telegram to Mrs. Rog- ers expressing his grief. The funeral cortege left the Rog- ers’ home, at 3 Hast Seventy-eighth street, at 9:30 a. m., and proceeded to the Church of the Messiah in East Thirty-fourth street. During the services a quartet from the Mendelssuvuhn Glee Club sang sev- eral selections, including the hymns “Lead Kindly Light,” “Nearer My God to Thee” and “Abide With Me.” On the list of pallbearers were the names William Rockefeller, John D. Archbold, E. T. Bedford and James A. Moffett of the Standard Oll Co.; Sam- uel IL. Clemens (Mark Twain), E. H. Harriman, Elbert H, Gary, Melville E. Stone, James M. Beck. John D. Ryan, Charles A, Peabody, George W. Perkins, Dr. C. C. Rice, Raymond Du- puy, Gen. James Jourdan and Col. A. G. Payne. The Lotus Club, of which Mr. Rog- ers was A member, sent a number of ite members to represent it at the services and a special delegation from the Norfolk (Va.) Board of Trade, who were tnterested with Mr. Rogers im the building of his Virginia rail- toad, attended the funeral. Fetr maven titates Magnuate.

en eS ers by taking them on frequent auto- mobile and yachting excursions. The priest’s health broke down at Louisiana and he went to Denver to recupérate. While he was in the West the Archbishop transferred him to the new parish in St. Louis County, which takes in several suburbs. Father Tettemer-made an excursion from Louisiana to Alton in his yacht, the Minnehaha, a few days ago. Several

of his parishioners were aboard the little vessel, which he said would have to be sold, as he would be unable to find time to use it in his new parish. Louisiana is on the Mississippi River, and the priest found time not only for frequent yachting, but also for auto- mobile outings over the fine gravel roads of Pike County. He was in Louisiana two years, during which time he raised and expended $5000 tor the improvement of the church.

LET US BUILD RIGHT. For years we have dreamed and talked of the city beautiful. Our visions have taken practical forms. We have constructed fine streets and boulevards. We have acquired and improved parks and playgrounds. We Lave built palaces for public schools.

But one of the first acts of the new administra- tion, pledged to the continuation >f the policy of beautifying and improving the city, is to cut off _ the tower from the design of the new municipal courts building. It is not denied that the tower ig necessary to the harmony and beauty.of the structure. It is an integral part of the. design and essential to its completeness. The object in eliminating the tower is to save a little money. A building is designed as a whole in harmoni- ous proportions and to deprive it of any archi- ,tectural feature, especially of one so prominent as a great tower 157 feet in height, is to turn a ‘thing of beauty into a monstrosity.

W. Van Cleave was & vast im- provement over.D. M. Parry as the head of the National Association of Manufacturers. The lat- ter, taken at his word, was a devil of a man, thirsting for the life blood of every holder of a union card. Mr. Van Cleave himself is no molly- coddle. He will not dodge strife if he considers the conflict justified and he has used the law as an effective weapon to stay advantage on the side of labor and win advantage for his own side. But during Mr. Van Cleave’s comparatively temperate administration of the affairs of this great association of producers, no progress was made toward that harmony of action and unity of interests which marks the ideal relation of capital and labor. In fact the breach has per- ceptibly widened. Instead of the two forces re- garding each other as allies, each indispensable to the other, their attitude is one of irreconcilable hostility. Needless to say that this condition is worse only in its menace than in its reality. There is no prospect of improvement. The new president of the Manufacturers’ Association has placed himself squarely on record at a regu- lar fire eater. “My policy will be that of Mr. Van Cleave,” he said. “I do not believe in com- promise with criminals. It is better to bring the whole labor question to the point at once, instead of temporizing and fooling with it.” John Kirby Jr., the new president, justifies the appendage to his name. He wants war. He uses language that, however modified by later explanation and interpretation, is charged with indiscriminate insult and challenge. Were he a labor agitator he would be instantly condemned as a trouble maker and flatulent cemagogue. But he is the responsible head of a great organiza- tion of men who pride themselves on their con- servatism, who would make themselves an eco- nomic force through the very excellence of their counsel. What can we expect from labor lead- ers, when business men applaud a sweeping ar- raignmen*t of the toilers as criminals? How small must be the hope of industrial peace when the great employers speak of organized labor as a thing to be trodden under foot like‘a worm! “The only way to deal with this animal is to take it by the horns till it is made obedient,” cried President Kirby. Even if the redoubiable Kirby himself seized the horns, we doubt if the progress which has been gaining force for 80 years would shake itself loose and flee away in despair. i A se i a Attorney-General Major charges that President James E. Smith of the Business Men’s League, who criticised the legal prosecutions of railroads in this State, is the beneficiary of railroad dis- criminations. We presume that the Attorney- General would not make a charge of this kind without evidence. If he has evidence of discrim- inations, why does not Mr. Major make it pub- lic and take it into court? As Attorney-General it is his duty to prosecute those who are guilty of violating the laws. He should take the public into his confidence and do his duty in the courts. = = = THE WATERWAY PERIOD. The revolution of: public sentiment on the sub- ject of waterways is indicated by the unqualified indorsement of waterway improvement by Presi- dent Finley of the Southern Railway in his ad- dress to St. Louis business men. He placed the improvement of the waterways on a plane of importance with the expansion and improve- ment of railroads. This utterance emphasizes the new view of waterways to which the railroad managers have come. Until a few years ago the railroad owners and managers were the most persistent oppo- nents of waterway improvements. We have passed through a period of tremendous railroad expansion. The public mind has been absorbed with its possibilities and regarded waterways with indifference and some contempt. The rail- road was the thing and the railroad man was Regarding the water- way as a competitor he fought the development of water transportation. But with the vast growth of industry and com- merce and the consequent overwhelming in- crease of traffic there is a broader and more in- telligent view of the possibilities of both. They are recognized as supplementary. The railroad men are glad to yield the heavier freight to the rivers, lakes and canals and to co-operate with water lines. They find that the waterway relieves the railway of cheap bulky freight and keeps it busier with profitable traffic. The next great advance in transportation fa- cilities will be the improvement of rivers and the building of canals. It will go hand in hand with railway extension and will contribute as much to the country’s development and prosper- ity.

— rT we FOOL OR KNAVE. . It is a curious and interesting fact that many men who start out bravely on a criminal career do little more than make fools of themselves, and before they can gain any great renown as “bad men” or “skillful forgers” they are landed in jail.. When a young man meditates a career of this kind he ought to commune with himself: “Am | knave or*fool, or something of both. If too ante fool I am probably too littse bad; if so I can’t play the game with the firm and intelligent en- ergy required for success. I will think further of this before committing myself.” If he thinks thuswise, in most cases he will stick to his job, however humble and unpictur- esque it may be. So, he will not be a knave and people, perhaps, will never know that he is &

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘Ww.’ takes exceptions to my views of taxing land values as the best method of raising revenue and of taxing unused land to bring it into use. He inad- vertently misstates the proposition, We do not pro- pose to simply tax unused land as such; we propose to raise all taxes on land values, no matter where they are, irrespective of improvements, We don’t propose to tax a man extra simply because he has invested his money in land. Stocks and bonds have their basic value mainly on or in land. We propose to abolish all taxes on improvements, and thus take them off of labor, as labor produces all improvements and they hamper labor. We assert that the most equitable and ethical form of taxation is on land val- ues, irrespective of improvements. ‘‘W.’s’’ asser- tion regarding suburbanites and slum dwellers will not bear investigation. The slum dweller knows nothing about the trouble and risk in using land, and I challenge him to show mé (and to advertise it among the slums) any land between here and the Missouri River on the west of this city for less than $250 per acre, and from that up to $1000 and more; ou the immediate outskirts of the city they are asking $20 per foot and up. Where is the average man Or slum dweller going to get this? No one cares to risk anything to improve anybody else’s land, then have to leave it when the rent is raised or he is given notice to quit or move. The fact is, the average land- less man is and must use land in some manner or form every day of his life and one reason he don’t care to possess it is because it is hard to get and he does not fully understand the land question and its importance, and under our present system of taxa- tion it is hard to improve, as he is taxed every time and eVery way for improving or beautifying it.

Sit Down, You Commoners! To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. My compliment to her ladyship Von Aldringen, ana in devotion I kiss her hand yet. All what she says there in her letter is just as if it was spoken out ot my soul. Maybe the American commoners, who know nothing nohow, don’t know either inat one of her ancestors, the famous Gen. Von Aldringen, died the hero death at the battle of Landshut in 1634. To Thornton of Webb City I will say that his letter made me pleasure, and hope the good boy wilil always remain loyal to the Kaiser, and also have proper respect for us members Of the better class. The last letter of that Pipecover goes yet over the hatstring, and it is under my dignity te answer it. WALDEMAR, WERTH. Good Street Car Service. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I hear much criticism of the United Railways. In my opinion most of this criticism is uncalled for. I have traveled quite a lot in the United States, have been in most of the large cities in the Kast. Excepting subways and elevated roads, St. Louis has the best street car system of any large city in the country. The schedules are well arranged, the trans- fer points convenient, the conductors as a rule are polite and accommodating. Considering the immense volume of business handled, the cars make good time. Of course there are improvements that should be made.

TIME TO SPEAK. From today’s New York Werld. Mr. Taft, at Petersburg, stripped a deal of nonsense from the tariff debate when he said: “T am no: going to be mean enough to say that a tariff for revenue is just the same as a tariff for protection if it reaches the same amount (laughter and applause), but what I am going to say is that if a man in Alabama is in favor of $2 on lumber for revenue and a man in Washington is in favor of $2 on lumber for protection, they haven't great amount of dispute between them as to the duty they want to have put on lumber. I am not in favor of §2 on either the Alabama or the Wash- ington lumber, but we are working to- gether by a little different road.”’ That goes to the very heart of the issue. What difference does it make to the taxed consumer whether an ex- cessive duty is labeled ‘‘for protection’ or “for revenue?”

ENG Lae ee RE- From Spare Moments. The best of us sometimes forget the beam in our own eyes while we search for a mote in another’s. An American traveling abroad met an Englishman with a rather remarkable name of Pthorne, which was pronounced Thorne. “What's the good of the “P?” the American queried; “‘you don’t pronounce it, do you?’ The Englishman gazed at him with the manner of one who, while he pities, is bored. ‘‘What’s the good of the ‘h” in ’orse?”’ he questioned convincingly.

HOW A WOMAN PICKS ’EM. From the New York Press. Maybe the reason some women can love the little, onery, shaggy, off-colored thing with hair all over its eyes, which charity permits you to call a dog, better than their husbands is that the average wife selects the dog she really wants, but takes her husband out of a job lot.

SINCERELY ENCOURAGED. From the Washington Star. “Charley is economizing now,” sald young Mrs. Torkins. ‘Indeed!’ responded her feminine rel- ative, with a note of sardonic inquiry. “Yes. He says he would rather see a good game of baseball than eat. And everybody knows that a good game of baseball costs less than a good dinner.”

SOME CQNSOLATION. From the Chicago Record-Herald. Owing to the bad start which her base- ball team is getting, Cleveland proposes to gain such satisfaction as she may by claiming almost twice as great a population as Detroit will be able to ex- hibit in the forthcoming census.

DEFENSELESS MAN. From the Columbia (8S. C.) State. A woman writer one of the cur- rent magazines say’ women are sacri- ficed by thousands in the name of mar- riage. Yes, but what about the defense- less men who are each year torn from their comfortable homes and dragged to the altar? TIT FOR TAT. From the Topeka Capital. If it is true that Alfred Austin Is writing a poem on the visit of Roose- velt to Africa, it will be a case of poetic justice if Reosevelt on his arrival in England shoots the British lion, just from force of habit. eee THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT.

a 4 Bad Bound Converts Stephens’ Single to Home Run, Giving Game to Browns.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. T wouldn’t be fair if luck didn’t strike the Browns once in a while. It came to McAleer’s team Thursday afternoon in such a peculiar manner that it won a game in just about 15 seconds and transformed the grand gtand and bleachers from a state of gloom to one of exquisite delight. When it seemed the Browns wére about to lose, needing one run to tie or two to home ahead of Jimmy, and the game There have been many freak home - uns, but it is seldom that one oceurs . at the right time to win a game such as this one did. The New York club had tallied a counter in the fifth, and as Pitcher Brockett was hurling the ball in. masterly fashion, it seemed _ the - Browns would never be able to drive @ run around. Rube Waddell was in Splendid form alse, except in that one Ofth frame when he allowed the High- landers to count. So it seemed equally certain New York would not count In the last of the seventh, the “‘break,”’ that psychological baseball term that no player can define, came, and in a jitty the game was changed. One was out when Wallace drove a pretty single to center field. Stephens has been about the only member of the Brownk who has had a bit of ‘*:k all season, and as he stepped u: bat the coachers began screamins players on the ‘bench became a:i.ve and the entire grandstand and bleach- ers roared in expectation of the “break.” Two wide balis were thrown, the op- posing battery thinking the hit-and-run “play might be attempted. But Wallace etuck at first and Jimmy didn’t swing. Then the pitcher cut one over the plate for a strike, and Jim took a good look at it. Another similar one came along and Jimmy sent it spinning over the grass, half-way between first and sec- ond. It rolled to the outfield and then hurdied Keeler in a manner so sur- ! that he didn’t evén chase after it. Before Centerfielder Cree could race te the fence, shoot the ball to Laporte, in anticipation, } : = win, Little Jimmy Stephens smote the ball to right field and just before it " Feached Wee Willie Keeler it hit a clod, clearing Keeler’s head, rolled to the fence for a home Fun, took an astonishing bounce, and Wallace was driven was won, 2 to 1

The grandstand gave vent to its delight. in many cheers for Jimmy, then settled down in careless abandon to watch the rest of the game. The players’ bench was again quiet and coachers had no word to speak on the lines. The game had been won and there was nothing

McAleer Makes Decisive Change; Veterans Benched; Youth in Game

IMMY WILLIAMS and Tom Jones, two ef the veterans of the Browns, were taken out of the game and youngsters put in their places. It was the most decisive move Manager Mc- Aleer has yet made to pull the Browns out of the rut, and from the showing the two young players made in the first game, it may be some tire before Williams and Jones get back on the team. The reason for putting Patterson and Griggs in the game in place of Jones oe ‘and Williams is only because the latter . two can run faster. Manager McAleer has decided that the Browas have lost many games this year because of slow- on the bases. Williams and Jones nm’t the speed to run out their hits are often caught in double plays, because they can't get to first fast h..

However, when it came to the pinch, he couldn’t quite make good. A man was on second and one en first, and two men out, when Hal Chase came to bat in. the fifth inning, and Hal lined a vicious single to left field that drove home one run. New York was allowed five hits off the Rube, but only three of them were clean. Waddell was largely responsible for the Yanks getting their one run. There was one out in the fifth, when Pitcher Brockett came to bat. He bunted be- tween the pitcher and third base. It was clearly Rube’s chance to field, but he hesitated, then made a hurried play of it, and was just too late to get the man at first. Though cree flied out, Keeler dropped a little single back of second hbase and then Chase lined out the clean one to left field that drove one runner home. If Rube had flelded that first bunt properly, there: would have been

It drove Hartzell from first to third, too, but the next batter popped in the air. In the fourth inning, with Hoffman on first and no one out, Fer- ris hit to Chase and a double play took place.

IN 20-ROUND GO a Welsh Should Have Little Trouble of Disposing of American Tonight.

BY JOHN POLLOCK. NEW YORK, May 21.—Two of the cleverest lightweights in the business will clash in a 10-round bout at the stag of the Fairmount A. C. tonight, and unless indications go wrong the con- test should result in one of the fastest and most scientific battles ever wit- nessed in this vicinity. The pugilists who will meet are Jack Goodman, the West Side boxer, and Freddie Welsh, the English fighter, who has beaten Abe Attell, fought a 2-round draw with Packey. McFarland and has also won many other fights. Welsh is in perfect shape and says he will put up a better scrap this time than he did against Johnny Frayne. Goodman is also in excellent condition and as he is as clever as Welsh he ought to give him & great battle. Cross to Box Marto, Another good match between light- weights was arranged last night. we § Gibson, manager of the Fairmount A. C., engaged Leach Cross and Johnny Marto, the sturdy Italian fighter, to meet for 10 rounds at a stag to be held by the club on Friday evening, May 28 The bout ought to be a corker, as both men always keep going from the tap of the bell. Cross will train at Newdorp, 8. I., for the mil, while Marto will work at the new West Side A. C. Otto Zeilser of 4109 Turner avenue would like to sign two outfielders and an inflelder to play with a team in the 18-year-old class.

PHILADELPHIA, May. £1!—Thouh ‘Roger Louls were decisi vely beaten by the P season, it was made evident that no hillies in age A awe: vere it not for an unfortunate error by Fest Baseman have landed the first victory. The Phillies scored four of their runs in the third inning, after..two men were out, and after Koney had muffed a throw from Bobby Byrne that would have retired the third man. That start- ed all the trouble, for it was followed by a single and a three-bagger and all the home fans became jolly. Dusty Rhodes began the pitching for the visitors, but he was whacked to the bench in the third round. Young Higgins took his place and heaved for two rounds, when he gave his batting place: to another. Forrest More then finished the pitching, and had he or Higgins been in at the start of the game, the result might have been different. Pitcher Moren of the Phillies was driv- en tO cover in a hurry by the slugging Cardinals, and Moore, the former Cleve- land twirler, took his place. The latter gave a great exhibition from the slab and always held the scrappy Bresnahan- ites at a safe distance. There were two men on the bases in the third, when he fann Charles, Delehanty and Byrne suc ively. The Cardinals tallied ene run in the first inning, when Sahw’s triple was fol- lowed by Bresnahan’s double. Konetchy followed this with a single, but he was caught between first and second, when he kept on going, thinking Roger wou)d, of course, break for the plate. Roger stopped: at third and Koney was run down. When the Phillies began hammering 3

of Active and Passive Candi- dates for the Bench Expected to Increase. _ Five St. Louis lawyers are willing to take up the judicial burden that Judge “Matthew G.

Hadley 's ready to make the appointment. Mr. Rutledge is making an active campaign for the appointment. Mr. Hebard says he is merely a receptive candidate, but he is enlisting the sup- port of his friends. Mr. Homer was 4 last fall, but was defeated. Mr. Shepley is a Prother-in-law of Charles Nagel, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and the politicians figure that with Mr. Nagel’s support he will have a good chance to win. Judge Reynolds will form a partner- ship with Thomas B. Harlan.

A woman’s body taken from the river at the foot of Barton street was iden- tified at the Coroner's office Friday as that of Amelia Stroff, aged 23, of 1804 Texas avenue. In one of her stockings was found a note in which the gir! reproached her mother. The note indicated that the mother and daughter had a disagreement. It was written in Bohemian. The note was written at noon, May 12, and the police believe the girl went to the river im- mediately and drowned herself.

MAJOR ANSWERS SMITH Declares President of Business Men’s League Is Favored by Railroad. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 21.—Another step was taken by the State to restrain the railroads of Missouri from restoring the 3-cent passenger fare when Jeptha Howe of St. Louis, representing Circuit Attorney Jones of St. Louis, today filed in the Federal Court here an appeal from the recent decision of Federal Judge Smith McPherson continuing in force a temporary injunction restrain- ing the Circuit Attorney from prosecut- ing an injunction suit against the rail- roads. The appeal was filed with the consent of Judge McPherson, who was not pres- ent, but from whom a telegram was read sanctioning the action. The appeal is based upon allegations of error in the ruling of Judge McPherson. Circuit Attorney Jones instituted a suit in the Circuit Court of St. Louis seeking to restrain the railroads of Mis- souri from inaugurating a 3-cent passen- ger fare. Judge Philips in the Federal Court here, upon the application of counsel for the railroads, granted a tem- porary injunction against this suit. Later Judge McPherson, after a hear- ing of the case on its merits, continued the temporary injunction in force until otherwise ordered by the Court, on the grounds that the suit of the St. Louis Circuit Attorney was an effort to re- an renner ' ne -- | Better Than Laxatives Ordinary pills, cathartic and purga- tives, cause griping, nausea on dis- tressing and injurious after-effects that are frequently life-lasting.

Smith, president of the Business Men’s League, who criticized the State officials for their suits against the railroads, Attorney- General Major, in a statement at Jeffer- son City, declared the railroads were giving Mr. Smith and certain others lower rates than they gave the majority of shippers. A Post-Dispatch reporter asked Mr. Major today whether he had evidence that the railroads had favored Mr. Smith or any other shippers and wheth- er such favors, if granted, were not in violation of the law. “James E. Smith, as an individual, only came upon the horizon of the rate question day before yesterday,” said Mr. Major. “In the trial of the quo warranto proceedings, now pending, the questions of how rates are made, their divergent effects at certain points, the degrees of difference and favors wil) be gone into fully. The State should not forecast the evidence prior to its presentation to the commissioner who is to hear the evidence.” Then, in a parenthetical way, Mr. Major declared that evidence in the suit would be taken in St. Louis and added: “If James E. Smith is alive at that time he may rest assured that he will be given the freest and most ample op- portunity to appear before the commis- sioner to tell just how much he knows on this rate question and the means by which he became possessed of the in- ‘formation, Mr. Smith says he is “dead cer- tain” that he was right in the views he had expressed regarding the course of Gov. Hadley in keeping up the rail- road rate fight as inimical to the busi- ness interests of Missouri. Mr. Smith declared there was no doubt in- his mind that the opinion he ex- pressed is held by a vast majority of the business men in Missourl. He said he was not in politics and would enter into no controversy with Gov. Hadley or with Attorney-General Major. His reply to the Governor, he pointed out, applied also to the Attorney-General. Just before his departure for a hunt- ing club in the Ozarks to remain over Sunday, Mr. Smith said he did not care to be bothered with trivialities. Gov. Hadley and Attorney-General Ma- jor in their statements in reply to Mr. Smith declare he does not represent the geptiment of the State. Gov. Hadley says that in charging persecution of the railroads Mr. Smith “shows that he is either ignorant of the facts or desires to intentionaHy mislead) the people.’’ In saying that the prosecutions have cost the State more than $100,000 Mr. Smith is “either ignorant or menda- cious,’””’ Gov. Hadley says. Believes Rates Please Smith. Attorney-General Major charges that Smith is getting rates that suit him and is therefore interested in keeping things as they are. Both Mr. Major and Gov. Hadley declare their purpose is to see that Missouri gets as low rates as neigh- boring states. Gov. Hadley said itn part. “The facts of the case are that up until the ninth of last April the only suits that were being conducted in the courts between the State and the rail- roads were those which were brought by the 18 railroads against the people. In these cases Gov. Folk and I had one of two courses to pursue. We could let judgment go by default and thus permit the freight and passenger rate laws passed by the Legislature two years ago to be overthrown without a contest, or we could employ experts to prepare the evidence and to endeavor to develop the facts. “It seems that Mr. Smith would have preferred that the State should have taken the first course and meekly sub- mitted without a contest. Gov. Folk and I decided upon a different course, and in defending suits brought by the railroads against the people of Missouri there has been incurred an expense of approximately $650,000. “Timid souls, like Mr. Smith, might wish to see the people of Misseuri tame- ly submit to such injustice and discrimi- nation, but I believe that the people of the State regard it as fortunate that they have not elected such men as their State officers. Statement by Attorney-General. Atterney-General Major said: “The State wishes the roads to obey the laws and not enter into agreements whereby free, open and independent competitive business at the hands of the roads is denied the people. Smith is in- terested in getting low rates for himself and certain others. The State is inter- ested in getting equally low rates for all the people and all the interests of the State. “If the railroads will give the people of the State within 10 per cent of the rates they are giving Smith and certain others, the officers of the State will be happy and entirely satisfied., In order that Smith may be satisfied, he has been favored. Here is where the trouble begins. Whenever an attempt is made to give a lower rate to the people of the State, some other fellow cries aloud. He deesn’t want rates disturbed, for the reason he has secured satisfactory rates for himself, and oftentimes a banquet follows. But to give him the rate he wishes, the other interests and ship- pers of the State pay for same. “If the people of the State were not paying such a high freight rate Smith would not get quite such a low freight rate. Let the even hand of justice go round to all. Let the shipper of live- stock and grain and every business in- terest receive some of the blessings. Smith's. Information Defective. “Smith says the railroads make noth- ing in Missourl. How lacking in. infor- mation! I have the information, the sworn testimony of the roads. It is neither hearsay nor guesswork. The Iron Meuntain pays a dividend of 10 per cent upon its stock; the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy pays 8 per cent upon its stock and lays by an annua! surplus

tnat does not make more per mile on its business in Missouri than it does upon the average mile of its system. No one Possessed of reliable information will Say otherwise, and the roads will not deny it. “When Smith ts serving a luncheon to the president of a ratiroad you could naturally expect to hear a cold recita- tion from a record reeled off from a railway phonograph.” _————

na LEADS PRICE RALLIES IN THE MARKET = Gains During the Morning Nearly All Small and Dull Periods Prevail. _ (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) NEW YORK, May 21.—There was a moderate opening demand for stocks and its effect in increasing prices was limit- ed generally to small fractions. The feature of the market was the opening shares of United States

59%, compared National Railways of Mexico first pre- ferred rose 1 and New York Central %. Denver & Rio Grande declined %. A long interval of dullness in which prices were without essential change, Was succeeded by a demonstration of strength in which all of the well-known. stocks participated. Buying of the Harrimans, and the United States Steel stocks en- couraged purchases all through the list. Advance Was Brief, The advance halted before the end of the hour, when small reactions were followed by renewed dullness. Delaware & Hudson, Consoiidated Gas, Western Union and Pacific Coast gained 1%, St. Louls Southwestern and United States Steel 14% and Reading, New York Cen- tral, St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Rock Isiand, Amalgamated Copper, Colorado Fuel and the Republic Steel stocks 1. United States Steel touched 60% and the persistent absorption of that stock was an influence in the quiet strength of the whole list. ; Northern Pacific rose 1%, General . Electric 2, Bethlehem Steel 1%, the pre- ferred 1!, and Great Northern preferred, Ncrfolk & Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, Wabash prefered, Anacondd, American Wool, Schloss-Scheffield Steel and West- ‘inghouse Electric 1. Bonds were firm. Speculation became dull and wae ~ | profi taking began. Reading fel ack over a point to below yesterday's closing and the remainder of the list a good fraction. Kanawha & Michi- Kan edvanced five points. Small rallies brought no increase of activity and prices slipped back to the low point again. Wheeling & Lake Erie eo. a point.
