HPNOTEED B Br SCHOOLMATE, IN TRANCE 2 HOURS Physician Works Hard on East St. Louis Girl Made to Gaze at Moon. r OCCULT SCIENCE A FAD Mothers Try Vainly to Divert Childrens’ Minds From Strange Pastime. Hypnotized by a_ girl schoolmate, Birdie West, 16 years old, of Eighteenth street and Missouri avenue, East St. Louis, was in a trance for two hours Friday night, and Dr. A. C. Housch worked with her for more than an hour before he could bring her back to consciousness. A fad for hypnotism started among East St. Louis schoorgiris a year ago when a traveling hypnotist named Grif- fin gave a tentshow there. Several other girls have been hypno- tized and East St. Louis mothers have tried in vain to divert the minds of their children from this strange past- time which has supplanted all other games usually popular with children. Edna Forest, 15 years, who says she was the one who put Birdie West under {the spell is nervously over-wrought as the result of the weird consequences of her act. Housch, who says there is no doubt that the case is one of genuine hypnotism. The girls were playing on a lot neat their homes when one suggested that they disregard the wishes of their moth- ers and “try a little hypnotism.” * Ora Beeler, 12 years old, chose Ther- esa Fay, 9 years old, as a subject. Waving her hands befere Theresa’s eyes she said: “‘There is a bear after you.”’ Theresa broke into a run and her companions chased her three blocks be- fore thev could overtake her and “re- move the spell.’’ “Huh,” said Birdie West, ‘‘nobody could make me do anything like that.” “TI can,’ said Edna Forrest. ‘Dare you te,” challenged Birdie. Edna told Birdie to stand still untt) she made the necessary mystic passes. When she believed she had Birdie un- der the influence, she commanded her to “look at the man in the moon.” The moon was shining brightly, al- most overhead. Birdie obeyed the com- mand. When she had: stood for 10 minutes looking at the moon, [dna tried to bring her out of her trance, but could not. Birdig stood motionless as a statue. The half-dozen girls who sur- rounded her pinched her and even stuck her with pins, but she did not move. Throws Water in Face. Greatly alarmed, they called Mrs. Agnes Carroll, who helped in their efforts to arouse the girl. After em- ploying every other method she coukl think of, Mrs, Carroll threw two buck- ets of cold water into the moon-gazer’e face. In a strange, far-away voice, Birdie said: “Don’t drown me,” but she did not move. Still rigid and. holding -her head in the same position as when she was looking at the moon, Birdie was car- ried to her home, a block away, and Dr. Housch was sent for. The giti was conscious, but her body was rigid. Finding medical treatment unavailing, Dr. Housch rubbed Birdie’s eyelids with the tips of his fingers and kept repeat- ing: “The moon is gone; gone.” the moon is ‘ : Pedootag people had said in neibe st they would not agree to the e of negro firemen, on the trains, and CAUSE is Proud to Beg” Says iy Is Starving and Leaves anaty to Secure “Loan.” heart of Mrs. Joseph Stein went te man who told her a story of fon Friday, The man carried a ary bird in his hand and its phirp appealed to Mrs. Stein. ve a large family,” said the a have been out of employ- Louis merchants 87 columns.

Evangelical Church, in an effort to win the good will of the immigration officials so that, instead of being prose- cuted on a criminal charge, he may ob- tain the deportation which he says he longs for ardently. This announcement was made by the minister after his arrest by Immigra- tion Inspector 8. L. Whitfield at the Stolpe parsonage Friday night. To a Post-Dispatch reporter the Rev. Mr. Schenk confessed that he was the fa- ther of Gertrude Wolff's older child, but expressed doubt as to the paternity of the younger. shield her,’’ he said, ‘‘but she is far away now en the ocean, and I will speak.”’ Pleads in Love Letters. Gertrude Wolff, just before she set sail for Germany last Monday, wrote two love letters, in which she pleaded with the minister to forsake everything and go to her, as he had. said he would. But, tn a brief signed statement to the Post-Dispatch, Schenk declares he has broken with “his evil.” Whatever the outcome of the immi- gration officials’ action may be, Schenk will not hold a pastorate in the Evan- gelical Church again. The Rev. Louis Suedemeyer, pastor of the Hermann church, has received written author- ity to forbitd Schenk preaching any ser- mon or discharging any pastoral duty. When the St. Louis Synod meets, Dr. Suedmeyer says, Schenk will be san ylly unfrocked, . Inspector Whitfield, accompanied by Dr. A Siebert of 1467 South Jefferson avenue, went to Stolpe Friday after- noon. They reached. the parsonage, which is 14 miles from Hermann, at 6:30 p. m. The inspector teok Mrs. Schenk’s statement in regard to her husband and Gertrude Wolff in re- gard to Mme. Marianna Demkowska, the Polish woman, whom Mrs. Schenk passed off as her servant when they landed at New York together. It was through Mme. Demkowska that the first information regarding Gertrude Wolff and her children reached. the public. Confesses When Arrested. Schenk wanted to remain in the room while his wife’s statement was being taken, but the inspector forbade him. On the front porch of the parsonage the minister denied to a Post-Dispatch reporter that he was the father of Miss Wolff's little girls. The children, one 6 and the other 5 years old, were feed- ing a hen with a brood of newly- hatched chickens. Schenk watched their every movement. He denied that his relations with Gertrude Wolff ever had been improper. He said he had been ruined without cause. It was not until he had been taken into custody by the inspector that he ceased his denials and said he would “make a clean breast of the whole af- fair.’’ After the wife’s statement had been taken the inspector called for Schenk. The minister entered the parsonage parlor with bowed head. He was told that he must accompany the inspector to St. Louis. “Is this an arrest?” he asked, huskily, steadying himself by clutching a table. “You must come to St. Louis and make a statement to Inspector Dunn,” was the reply. Wife Prepares His Supper. Whitfield had a warrant charging Schenk with bringing a woman into this country for an improper purpose. But he did not display the writ. Accompanied by the inspector, Schenk went to his own room and changed clothing, putting on a leng black cler- ical coat and packing a valise. Mean- while Mrs. Schenk was busy preparing supper for him., He sat down aione at a table and drank coffee. Just before the party entered the sur- rey for the drive to Hermann, the min- ister turned to the two little girls. “Mein kind! Mein kind!” (My chil- dren, my children!), he sobbed. His farewell to his wife was tender. “My husband is coming back, its he not?’ asked Mrs. Schenk, a fright- ened expression in her eyes, “He must make a Statement,” said the inspector. “Justice will be «one him.’ Mrs. Schenk and the little girlg were left alone in the parsonage, which stands on a hillside graced by unusual beauties. The cemetery lies between the parsonage and the pretty, new con- erete church, The figure of Mrs. Schenk, standing in the moonlight at the gate, could be seen as the surrey swung around a turn and out into the main road to Hermann.

Johnny did not belHeve it. Later in the day he found a bot- tle of camphor on the mantlepiece in his mother’s room at their home, 3155 Morganford road.

Preacher Schenk Confesses; Wants to be Deported

I carried a heavy burden for a long time. I repented for years, but found not the power to break loose from evil. I will show now that I did break with the evil and will make good. I thank my friends, especially Dr. A. Siebert and Pastor Suedmeyer, who convinced me today that the best way to face our merciful God is in open truth.

“T .wish they would start’ me away tonight. I want to get out of this country. Things would not have been as they are except in America. I wish they would send me away as soon as possible.”’ For the rest of the drive he remained silent, his head bowed in his hands. Inspector Whitfield told Schenk that if he would not violate the consideration shown him, they would spend the night at the Rev. Suedmeyer’s home, the Hermann minister having extended that invitation. In the parlor at Dr. Suedmeyer’s Schenk made his confession to a Post- Dispatch reporter. He admitted in a broken voice that what had béen said of his relations with Gertrude Wolff was true. That he was the father of the older child, born when Gertrude was 14, and that he might be the father of the second, born about a year later. Threatened With Calaboose. “I have made a great mistake,’”’ he said in a voice full of emotion, ‘and I have repented. Now I would like to live for my wife and family.” He was conversing with the Post-Dis- patch reporter a few minutes later, and the two were alone in the room. “Now I must go like a common mur- derer’’—he cried. Inspector Whitfield, in another room, heard the remark, and told Schenk that if he did not appreciate the courtesies shown him he would be locked up in the Hermann calaboose for the night. “The remark was out of a sad heart,” he said, “I do appreciate the courtesy you have shown me. I will respect it. What I meant was that I feel like a common murderer, in my sadness and humiliation.’’ Dr. Suedmeyer accompanied the in- spector and Schenk to St. Louis. He Said he wished to make a statement to Inspector Dunn to dispel any suspicion that might be entertained that the church or any one acting for the church was trying in any way to protect Schenk from the punishment that was due him, whatever that might be under the law. If Schenk should be convicted on the charge named in the warrant against him the maximum penalty would be 2 five-year prison sentence and a $5000 fine. The warrant fixed the bond that would be accepted in Schenk’s case at $5000. Until the immigration office reaches a decision or Schenk furnishes bond he will remain a prisoner in St. Louis. The Rev. Mr. Suedmeyer told a Post- Dispatch reporter that he furnished Ger- trude Wolff with the money to pay her way to her German home that she might fulfill her written promise to give up Schenk forever and to surrender her two children to Mrs. Schenk. She sailed on the Maine of the Continental line. MEN WHO CHANGED CLOTHING MAY BE BENBOW BANK ROBBERS Believing that a report made Satur- day by Patrolman Cook might furnish a clew to the Benbow City bank rob- bers, Capt. Phillips of the Dayton Street Station detailed Special Policemen Hare and Doyle to look for two mysterious men who changed their clothing in the rear of a vacant building at 1089 North Grand avenue Friday afternoon. Cook reported that two children told him that they had seen the men en- ter a stable and that they watched the men and saw them take money from two sacks and place it in a _ valise. They believed one of the men wore a false mustache. This was just two hours after the reported robbery at Benbow City. — é, One of the men is described as being 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 16 pounds. He wore a dark suit and a black soft hat.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. MAHA, Neb., May 29.—Weeds, Gor- don & Todgensen, the three suspects under arrest, charged with holding up and robbing the Union Pacific Overland train last Saturday night, were ar- raigned before the United States Com- missioner this morning and held in $25,- 000 bail for trial. They were unable to give the bail demanded, and were re- manded to jail. The three men were taken from the, State authorities last night by the United States Marshal and will be tried on a charge of robbing the United States mail—the penalty of which is life imprisonment—instead of by the State courts for train robbing. When the three men stood up in United States Court this morning, they were all vis- ibly affected, and Gordon almost col- lapsed. All Plead Not Guilty. Each man in turn listened to the war- rant and the charge and each pleaded “not guilty..”’ The attorney for the prisoners asked that their case be con- tinued until next Tuesday, June 1, which request was granted, the case being set for that time. The efforts of the police, postal in- Spectors and detectives are today bent on finding the loot, which the robbers are supposed to have buried some- where in the vicinity of the school and park where the weapons and mail sacks were found. The lower half of one of the leathern mail pouches is missing, and the officers believe the robbers util- ized it in which to bury the cash. Schoolboys Aid Search, Aiding the officers in the search in the park, are probably 1000 schoolboys of South Omaha, all half crazy with excitement and the hope of a portion of the $90,000 reward, which will be dis- tributed among the finders.

UNHURT BY RED PEPPER ROBBERS Sole Officer of Benbow Insti- tution Asks Insurance Com- pany to Make Theft Good.

“EVIDENTLY EXPERTS” | RR some remem ar ee oP President-Cashier Moore As- sures Depositors Business Will Not Be Interrupted. Stephen Moore, as janitor, swept out of the People’s Bank at Benbow City, ll., Saturday, the red pepper which he reported, as president of the bank, that two armed robbers had sprinkled on the floor after robbing him, as cashier, of nearly $3500. Then president-cashier-janitor, who also combines in his own person all the other offices of the People’s Bank, went outside, untied the wet handker- | chief with whicn he had protected his nose, and announced that, as soon as {the air inside became less peppery, the bank would resume business. He left the pepper on the floor Friday night that it might be seen by a repre- sentative of the Maryland Casualty Co., in whose St. Louis office he has filed a claim for the lost amount. He had a $5000 burglary insurance policy with the company. At the office of the Maryland com- pany, in the Pierce Building, it was stated Saturday that E. A. Hulburd, a representative of the company, was in- vestigating the bank claim. Until his report was received, it was stated, the company would have nothing to an- nounce. Walking Up and Down, Ben Toller, proprietor of a clothing store across the street from the bank, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he was sitting in front of his store during the early part of Friday afternoon, at the time of the reported robbery, and that he saw no one enter or leave the bank. He could see the interior of the bank through the front window, he said. “IT saw Moore walking up and down inside the place,’”’ Toller said, ‘and once or twice I saw him stop and hold his hands to his head.’’ As told in late editions of the Post- Dispatch Friday, Moore reported Fri- Gay afternoon that two men had en- tered the bank at 1:20 p. m., and first asking him to cash a $2 check, had a moment later displayed revolvers and seized the cash on hand. One of them, he said, kept him “cov- red” with a revolver, while the other took 24 $100 bills, 50 $1 bills and one $60 bill, just received by the bank in a special express package from St. Louis. He also took the rest of the money on hand, nearly $1000 additional, the bank proprietor stated. On Priucipal Street. Before leaving, Moore said, the des- peradoes sprinkled the floor with red pepper. This, the banker surmised, was done to keep bloodhounds from taking the scent. ‘“‘The men were evidently ex- perts,’’ said Moore, in relating this phase of the occurrence. The People’s Bank is on the principal street of Benbow City, a short distance from the railroad and trolley line de- pots and close to other places of busi- ness, Deputy Sheriff G. F. Crowe, who ar- rived at the bank within a haif hour after the reported visit of the robbers, had sharp words with the proprietor. He first heard of the robbery from James Olroyed, a large depositor; claimant to the Benbow City mayoralty. “Why didn’t you report this at once?” he demanded of Moore, pointing to the telephone on the wall. “The men told me not to,” said Moore, “and I was too excited by what had happened.”’ “Rows of Red Pepper.” “Did they leave in a hurry, or did the take théir time?” he asked. “These rows of red pepper look like they had had plenty of time to sprinkle it neatly and carefully,” he commented. “If I had robbed the bank and was leaving, I would just throw that pepper into the air, and some of it into the cashier's eyes, and run.”’ Crowe questioned a group of men who were sitting on the porch of Gc: se Marsh's saloon across the Strett, and could find none who had seen the men enter or leave the bank. De. 31... Gottschalk, who said Fri- day afternoon that he saw two men walking down the street, said Saturday that he was not sure they answered the description of the robbers given by Moore. The banker said one of the men was tall and one short, and that they both wore shabby clothing and black slouch hats. Moore was in 8t. Louis Friday night and deposited a draft for $100 drawn on an Bast 8t. Leuis bank, in the Union Station Bank. Capital of 825,000. The People’s Bank was capitalized at $25,000. The amount of robbery insur- ance carried was $5000... Moore said that before starting the bank eight months ago he worked for a 8t. Louis realty firm, but would not state the name of the firm. “There were $31 that the rebbers didn’t get,’’ said Moore. ‘‘There were $25 in a cigar box that they didn’t seem to have seen and % which a depositor had brought in while I was busy and which { had not transferred from my pocket to the safe.” the

Sanitol President Calls Action of 29 Of 8000 Stockholders “Unimportant.”

THEY WOULD OUST HIM Seek Also to Remove Vice- President and Secretary and Treasurer.

Herman €. G. Luyties, president of the Sanitol Chemical Laboratory Co., Saturday characterized as ‘‘unimport- ant” the suit filed Friday by 29 ofthe company’s 8000 stockholders, who ask that @ receiver be appointed for the company and that Luyties and other officers be enjoined from having any- thing to do with its management. “It is hard to keep 8000 stockholders in line,” said Mr. Luyties. Eastern brokers and discharged employes have been attempting to force down the price of the stock. I believe the brokers did this with a view of buying the stock at @ low price and forcing me to buy it back from them. I have been approached with propositions of that kind. “There ig no reason why a receiver should be appointed. The company is in good shape and is getting along nice- ly, though, of course, business lately has not beén as good as in our banner year, 1907.’’ Mr. Luyties made a general denial of the allegation in the petition. Says Bills Are Paid Promptly. “I don’t care to go into the details of a complaint of this character,’’ he said. “If the creditors of the company were dissatisfied, it would be a differ- ent matter, but they are not. Our bills are being paid promptly. “I might regard this petition seri- ously if a majority of the stockholders were complaining. One man who is asking for a receiver has only $20 in- vested in the stock. Now the company has a capital stock of $3,000,000, half paid in, and I own a majority of the stock and furnished most of the cash: with which the company was started. “If it were necessary to appoint a re- celver I, as the heaviest stockholder, would be the person most interested in bringing such an action. I am satisfied with the way in which the company is’ progressing and a great majority of the stockholders—dentists and druggists al! over the United States—are also satis- fied. These dentists and druggists earned their stock out of the profits which they made on the sale of prep- arations made by the Sanitol Chemical Laboratory Co.” The 29 stockholders who ask for a re- ceivership own stock in the company, to the par value of $20,000, according to their attorneys, Jamieson & Thomas. Seek to Remove Luyties. They ask thé Cotrt to remove Herman Cc. G. Luyties as president and director, George A. Bowman, vice-president and director, and Robert E. Desmond, sec- retary and treasurer. eS The plaintiffs are: Mrs. Charles fuss, Henry 8. Morris, E. M. Haedrick, Nelson Fryd, W. B. Maratta, HB. ©. Palmer, Clifford D. Beale, C. L. Card, John P.

SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO CITE “KATY” FOR CONTEMPT Judge Williams Applied for Cita- tion Because of Putting 3-Cent Rate in Effect. The State Supreme Court at Jefferson City refused Saturday to cite the Mis- souri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Co. for contempt of court. Application for the citation Was made by Judge George H. Williams of the Circuit’ Court of St. Louis, who issued a temporary in- junction against the railroad, forbidding it from putting a 3-cent-a-mile passen- ger rate into effect. The railroads, of which the Katy was one, obtained a writ of prohibition from the Supreme Court, restraining Judge Williams from interfering in the rate cases, AS the injunction and prohibition cases have not been finally disposed of, the attorneys who filed the suit in Judge Williams’ court contended that the Katy was in contempt of court for violating the injunction. The Supreme Court rendered no writ- ten opinion, but merely denied the ap- plication for the citation.

Roy 8, Probst, right ankle sprained | and back hurt. 3 Gilbert Jackson, hands cut. Edward Zerbe, chest seriously hurt, fbad scalp wound. Max Goetz, chauffeur, two ribs broken, The automobile was on a sightseeing tour, and was running west on Utah street. As it approached Utah street a street car was running at a high rate of speed south on Jefferson avenue. Goetz, the chauffeur, seeing that 4 collision was inevitable, turned his steering wheel Bo as to shoot the auto- mobile ahead of the street car and run in the same direction in the hope of beating it in speed and carrying his passengers safely out of danger. Passengers Spilled on Track. As the automobile struck the car track just ahead of the car the right forward tire exploded turning the machine over on its side and spilling the passengers on the track, The motorman of the street car ap- plied his brakes when he saw that the chauffeur was going to run the ma- chine on to the track ahead of him, but could not stop the car until it was on top of the machine and the shriek- ing terrified passengers. There was a slight grinding sound and the car ceased crowding the auto. The sightseers crawled away from the ma- chine and staggered to their feet. The injuries were contusions and cuts, in several cases about the head and face. Assisted to Doctor’s Office, \ The chauffeur and several pedestrians assisted some of the injured persons to hobble to Dr. Schmidt's office at Texas avenue and Utah street. The as- | other passengers were able to walk witheut assistance. Nonq was hurt énough to require an ambulance. At Dr. Schmidt's office the injuries were dressed as rapidly as possibile, but all the injured had not received at- tention at noon. The policemen detailed to investigate the accident said that none of the passengers was injured sert- ously enough to be sent to a hospital and that ne arrests would be made. George 8. Maus jumped over the side of the automobile when he found that it was going to turn over, and was caught between the machine and the car. His leg was badly twisted, his back was hurt and he was bruised from head to foot. ' Collision Incvitable. John Bispermann Jr., former secre- tary of the Board of Election Com- missioners, was a witness to the ac- cident. He says the automobile was running at the rate of < miles an hour when it turned from Utah street into Jefferson avenue, and it could be seen that a collision was inevitable. Mr. Els- permann assisted the wounded and help- ed extricate them from the car. He picked ‘up little Fred Nichols and car- ried him to the office of Dr. Schmidt at the corner of Texas and Utah. The machine was driven by Max Goetz of 5836 Cote Brilliante avenue. two of whose ribs were broken. After the accident he was hurried away in an automobile and did not go to the of- fice of Dr. Schm..t for attention. The damage to the automobile was sald to be $200.

He was pleading for the repeal of the tax on tobacco leaf for the benefit of tobacco growers whose sufferings from the Tobacco Trust had turned them into ruthless marauders. The story of the night riders is a shocking nar- rative of crime, but not more shocking. than the story of the oppressions which incited the starv- ing tobacco men to organize a conspiracy of vio- lence. It has been told before. The Post-Dispatch has published pages concerning the organization of night riders and their cruel deeds, and concern- ing the hardships they suffered from the To- bacco Trust. The initial crime was that of the Trust which, with cold-blooded greed conspired to ruin tne tobacco growers who in desperation re- | sorted to criminal metnods. The results of the war between the Trust and the producers are revealeu in the statistics of the Department of Labor and Commerce, which show a decrease in production within one year of 44;- 878,000 pounds and of $6,729,400 in value. The industry of tobacco growing in Kentucky and /| Tennessee was ruineds The night riders have suf- fered most in public opinion because their methods were dramatic. But the greater criminal was the Trust, whose consp:racy was worked out quietly by seeret agreements and from motives of greed. But the tale of the oppressions of the Tobacco Trust differs from that of other trusts only in its dramatic setting and the spectacular revenges of its victims. The same sort of ruin was wrougnt by Standard Oil, the Stcel Trust, the Sugar Trust, only their victims did not resort to desperate deeds of violence, but submitted in silence or went to the courts for relief. The Senate is moved by the story of the out- rages committed by the trusts and by their vic- tims. Senators eloquently denounce the mis- deeds of both, but vote the trusts robber privileges and monopoly cinches. Democrats ana Republic- ans combine to serve their dishonest ends. >. 3 The published list of assessed property in St. Louis indicates that the term “millionaire” is used carelessly 4 modern speech. —_ = * ww eS ae THE NARROW PATH.

Aithough the play which forced President Taft and his family to leave a Washington theater be- tween the acts had been revised to get rid of “‘ob- dhe pigogentes features’ before the President saw it, it is described by the manager as still “very racy.” This quality in connection with the advertise- ment given it by the President’s disapproval, is evidently expected to be worth a great deal in box-office receipts hereafter. The manager’s ex- planation of its raciness, may cover a multitude of sins, though evidently not as many as he hopes the public will expect and pay to discover. It does not cover his own willingness to find what is worst and most vicious in human nature and procure what will appeal to it. Such pro- curing does not belong characteristically to the stage, nor do managers who debase the stage for such purposes, rise in any sense to a level higher than that of those who do not have the oppor- tunities of the theater for procuring what is base to supply and increase the demand for it. In the simple and untheatrical English Shakspeare wrote, there is a shorter word for the whole tribe. They -will not have to look in the glossary to understand its meaning. They understand them- Iselyes. and what they are doing as professional procurers of the “very racy.” ha ih hi _- + Austin’s.

Kindly publish this for the sufferer of consump- tion, who asks help through the Post-Dispatch. I heard of a lady being in the last stages of con- sumption and given up by prominent physicians to die, being cured by eating one large onion every day (raw), and was cured in several months, and is stouter than she ever was. Fresh milk and raw eggs are good also, which can be taken besides the onions. Cc. NULL. Peddling Ice on Sundays. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - Why has a retail ice and coal dealer no protec- tion from being imposed upon by people that pay no license to do such business, and especially those that go around on Sundays peddling ice? Nine out of 10 pay no license, and I think if there is a law to stop such practice the police should see to it and arrest them. I think when a man is de- pending on his business for the support of himself and family he should be protected. If there is no such law the House of Delegates should pass one, as the peddling of ice on Sunday is certainly very detrimental to the regular dealer who buys his ice on Saturday evening, and expects to sell iH at his place of business on Sunday, and I certainly don’t approve of making our streets and alleys a Sunday marketing place. A REGULAR DEALER. Why Not Study and Pass? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to know if there is‘any law to pro- tect a poor business man? I was a master plumber for years, did a good business, did all my work ac- cording to the city ordinance, and for the: benefit of the public. I had all my ‘werk passed by the plumbing inspector, and now, because I failed to pass the examination I must close my shop and deprive myself of making an honest living. Would like some imfermation on this law. PrP. WwW. & A Socialist Ideal. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Socialists are Socialists because of their love of freedom and their horror of slavery; and they in- sist upon the equal freedom of all. They care noth- ing for the world’s honors. Its prizes have no temptation for them. The happiest privilege they claim to have is to call each other comrade. They know each other, and they love and trust each other. They want nothing that each and every comrade may not have. They are brothers, and when they clasp each others honest hand they fee} a thrill of joy. They regard each as equal. Through one’s mask of misery, shreds and tatters they re- cognize in the, vilest scavenger their brother. For him they are ready to fight, and if need be, die. There is where all Sociajists stand—and this is their ‘‘free love and immorality.’’. And when So- cialism comes—as come it will as certain as the Mississippi rolls to the Gulf—they will strive to secure for their weaker brother and sister the same remuneration, the same treatment~and the same even-handed justice they expect for themselves. The present generation may revile Socialists and deny Socialism, but future generations will make im- mortal atonement. GEORGE B. CROSS. CMicago—-St. Louis. To.the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Here is one St. Louisan who is not knocking his own town: This, from a great Chicago daily, is signed by Edward Roemer: ‘“T have been a resident of St. Louis, Mo., and have been for some time a resident of this city and I am very well educated, have a keen power of perception and naturally make comparisons and, to tell you the truth, they are greatly to the det- riment of Chicago. I myself was very much as- tonished, for I heard so much about it and it was generally in Chicago’s favor. The few points which I will compare are as follows: ‘‘Mhe climate here is very bad; fierce and cold winters and the wind blowing a gale most of the time. : ‘The streets in wintertime are very badly kept, almost to say filthy; or in dry weather very dusty. I presume that its being very level here has something to do with this. “There are very few names on the streets and very few numbers on the houses, “The downtown section, the loop district and the retail portion are gloomy looking and unin- viting. The St. Louis retail district is much su- perior. “The theaters—anyway the exterior of them, are very poor in appearance—and there is hardly one that has its name on the front so that a stranger might readily see which theater it is. By step- ping across the street and craning the neck one might find out the name.

I have an impression that the cry that cotton- seed ofl] goes to Europe to adulterate olive oil to be shipped to the United States, while it may be true, is an attempt to boost the California protective article.

The retiring president of the Na- tional Manufacturers’ Association was a man to strike and spare not, and his successor seems to fit his Shoes. It is at least a fair presumption that they give its tone to the ‘educational cam- paign.’’ Such language hurts the man- If it stopped there, perhaps the outside public would not be justified in objecting to it. But it doesy not stop there. It hurts industrial r-- lations generally. Much of Mr. Gomp- ers’ language 18, by contrast, mildness and meekness itself. We greatly won- der that speakers at the meeting of the National Association of Manufactur- ers could have been so blind as to put the association at such a disad- vantage. OUR INQUISITIONS, From the New York World. New York’s public school teachers naturally object to the proposed public inquiry into the method and the cost of their living. We have gone to great lengths in our sociological bookkeeping, but always it has been in the wrong direction. We invade the privacy of the self-respecting poor on the slightest prevocation. Admonished on every hand to look after certain elements at the other end of the social scale, we do nothing. INGRATITUDE MONSTROUS. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Corporations as well as republics seem to be ungrateful. Here are some of the express company people trying to turn Thomas C. Platt out of his job, after his faithful service to the express business in the United States Senate for many years. NEEDED PROVENDER. From the Charleston News and Courier. By the way, if persons who send tur- keys and ‘possums to the White House would send a bale of peavine hay or a ton of cotton-seed meal for the White House cow occasionally, it would prob- ably be gratefully received. UNIQUE SPECIMEN, From the New York Mail, “The rain may fall on me, but not on thee, sweetheart,” sighs an Ala- bama poet quoted in the Washington Herald. There’s the first man we ever heard of who could carry an umbrella to a lady’s satisfaction. ONE COMFORT. From the Chicago Record-Herald. One good thing about night sessions of the Senate is that the people will not be called upon to pay the senators extra wages for working overtime. THE FOOLISH THINGS. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Naturally, the surviving Armenfans are being blamed for the butcheries from which they escaped. That's what they get for escaping. MAY REVISE CONGRESS. From the Kansas City Journal. The people of the great Central West have the alternative, if Congress does not revise the tariff the right way, of revising. Congress. ADVANTAGE OF AVIATION, From the New York Mall. There's another advantage in airship transportation. You don’t have to play shuffleboard or quoits to while away the time. ‘HE HAS PROVEN IT. From the Atlanta Constitution. The oldest editor in the United States is 93. He must have been the first editor who announced, “We are here to stay.” J JUST A MINUTE FOR VERSE AND HUMOR Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams Paki KIPPERED KIPLING.

At what age, they asked their read- ers to determine, is a woman most beautiful? Not long ago a Har- vard_ professor brought feminine malediction down upon. his head by declaring that the zenith of femi- nine loveliness is attained at 18. I think it was Byron who wrote of the beauty of this extremely youthful period as that of— “A lovely being scarcely formed or molded, A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.”’ ; It seems to me the poet is more near- ly right than the professor. It is only from thrift that we buy the hard green rosebuds, with jyst a touch of red show- ing, at the florist’s. We know that by the time we want to deck ourselves or the dinner table these buds will have at- tained ‘a fuller blown perfection, while the roses that seemed most beautiful at the time of the purchase would already have begun to uroop.

It Is Somewhere Between 18 and 40, Says This Writer for the Post-Dispatch. By* NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH are fruitless, for the excellent reasons that it differs in almost every indi- vidual. There are some women who are prettiest at 18 and 20 who by the time they have reached 35 are mere carica- tures of their former selves. The beauty that survives the thirtieth birthday is self-made. It is the symbol and the re- flection of the mind within. A girl may be petulant and small and mean and untruthful, and still be pretty enough at 18, but in a few years the inner quali- ties win the war they are always wag- ing with surface and no trace of her prettiness remains. There are other women who are really more beautiful at 40 or €0, because a lifetime of sweet thoughts is written on their faces. Words, said Talleyrand, were given us that we might conceal our thoughts. But by a subtle frony our faces record minutely all these deceits. That is why I think that all beauty after 30 is self-made. For in it is the written record of candor and sincerity and fixed good purposes. I wonder if anyone could assemble 10 years from now the photographs of ev- ery beauty chorus on Broadway, how many of its members would still be beautiful? At any rate, the survivors would be self-made beauties. The Fallacy of Spring Medicine. Dr. W. T.

Corbett, ex-heavyweight champion, acted as ret- eree of the Jeffries-Gerger three-round bout last night at a theater in which Jeff is appearing. ' Corbett called time for the first round and said: “I'll make them go some.” Jeffries, apparently spurred on by Cor- } bett’s presence, rushed at Berger and pummeled him all over the ring. He used every jab, swing and punch in his repertoire, and his defensive tactics hardly could have been improved. Cor-

YLAND HOPES TO WEAR DOWN DURABLE DAN Nelson, However, Is Strongly Favored to Win Battle Saturday.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.—The dawn of the first lightweight championship fight since Battling Nelson knocked out Joe Gans last September finds the Dane and his opponent, “Fighting Dick’? Hy- land, in superb conaition, with each man supremely confident of winning. The betting still favors Nelson at odds of 10 to 4, with even money of- fered that tho Battler will not stop Hy- land inside of .25 rounds. There is every indication for a banner house. The advance sale nas been par- ticularly good and even at the low prices, $1 for the bleachers, Jim Coffroth figures he will reach the $15,000 mark. Willus Britt, on a belated overland, will reach San Francisco in time to be Nelson's chief adviser. Nelson said today: “Of course I ex- pect to win. Dr. Clinton, who always looks me over, says that he never saw me in better shape. I will win in 10 seconds if I can, but really I don’t ex- pect the ‘ight will go more than twenty- three rounds.”’ Hyland is also optimistic. He said: “It may be a long fight, but there will be another champion. for Nelson and I will beat him down. Nelson can take a lot of punishment and I look for a long fight.’’ CHAMPION PACING MARE GOES LAME IN TRIAL PALATINE Ill., May 29.— The Broncho, champion pacing mare, turned up lame in the right hind leg Friday, and may not be able to race her early engagements. The trouble is in the same place as before and the retire- ment of two years has not effected a cure. She worked an easy mile in 2:40 yesterday, and has been several heats better than 2:30 this spring. She is entered at Detroit and other grand cir- cult cities.

I am too strong’:

some respects, after the manner that might be expected of the Sunshine Society or the Morning Choral teams. The club was guilty of being caught Friday by that time-honored trick of throwing to the second baseman who relays back to the plate on a double steal. Not only was the runner thrown out at the plate, but he died standing up —with a too-tired-to-hit-the-dirt expres- sion. On several other occasions want of heart and ginger seemed manifest in this club. It is too bad that,such a team should ever get away with a gafhe from the Browns. About four pounds of gin- ger and three of spice will have to be gifted into the Naps before they can show anything like the form that led people to suppose was going to bring the team into a fighting place for the flag this season. e LEVELAND is playing baseball, in John Powell’s last three games have been anything but convincing. Powell may need a bit of let-up, as he has done yoeman work from the start of the present season. Harry Howell’s arm ought to be about ready to stand the strain of beating Cleveland. Umpire Kerin achieved the distinction of having forced Dode Criss to speak when he called his doub!fe a foul. Dode could give a Sphinx a few centuries handicap and still beat him in a silence contest. With Red John going poorly at pres- ent the Browns have anything but 4 roseate outlook confronting them. Un- less Harry Howell has rounded to the team now has Schweitzer, Stone, Hof- man, Dinneen, Bailey, Powell and. How- ell going either poorly or not at all. That’s quite a bunch to subtract from any club and still leave the team at normal. But perhaps the Browns will get all their bad breaks out of the team’s system at once and be done with it for the remainder of the season, Stopping at Hoffman's house yesterday disclosed the fact that Dr. Leggatt thinks Daniel will be able to get into the Cleveland games. But Daniel says nay and will not risk further straining of his foot by premature return to the

tray. Hoffman wants to be sent home for a few days to rest. Detroit has a horseshoe hidden some- where on the team. The club won out in extra innings, yesterday, after Kifan had pitched a game that was not very much to the: good. Killian passed six men and was hit safely 12 times. But even with that, Chicago could not win. Fifteen men left on bases by the White I} Sox is the story of defeat. McGlynn, Hostetter and McCloskey are still gliding along in first place in the American association with a comforta- ble lead. McGlynn, Friday, put over another victory for his club, he letting Minneapolis down with but 3 hits. It seems queer that this iron man should not have been sufficiently well thought of by the Cardinal owners to have at least been given a tryout for this sea- son. McGlynn has a splendid record with Milwaukee and with Roger help ing him out for St. Louis he might have been a source of strength to the Cardi- nals’ box department. The Cubs are finding that one game margin a difficult handicap to make up on the Pirates. Old Cy Young going back? Well, not far enough back to sit down. The Giants are slowly but certainly mounting. The way has been dark and long, but Saturday morning the team was within one-half game of having a .600 percentage. Opposing base stealers are finding great difficulty in locating second base, with the Browns catchers working. Both Criger and Stephens have the star runners of opposing teams think- ing hard before they attempt to pilfer. Cleveland’s fast man Goode guessed badly in both his efforts to take the middle station on Criger, Friday. Battling Nelson positively declines to become inveigled into a match with Packey McFarland, the _ stockyards fighter, from Chicago. This is one of the best bits of testimony extant to the efficiency of McFarland. ——e

Yankee Friends of King Edward Won Heavily When His Horse Took Derby Copyright, 1909, by the Press Pub. Co. LONDON, May 2.—Americans who reside here, particularly those in the royal set, lost no money ky the de- feat of Sir Martin, the American-bred horse, in the Derby. They bet on Min- oru, King Edward's horse, which won. There was the strongest possible tip on Minoru, which was conveyed to all of His Majesty’s friends, including. the American women at whose hospitable board he is a guest so often. Copse- quently these Yankee-born titled ladies are even wealthier than usual. But Americans visiting here, those who do not bask in the royal favor, nor seek it, lost a great amount of money on Mr. Winan’s horse. Being “good losers’ they deplore Sir Martin’s fall at the dangerous Tattenham Cor- ner, only because it lost him all chance to prove how good a horse he really is.

picked the pocket of the Prince of Wales while the heir to the throne was standing beside the King in the center of a jostling, cheering crowd immediately after the race. The rob- bery provoked great merriment, among the Prince’s friends, one of whom said: “The thief would have gained much more had he picked the pocket of the bookmakers with whom the Prince bet on Minoru.” Another curious incident was that Mrs. George Keppel lost the heel of one of her shoes, and she had to re- main in the royal box while Lord Essex went in search of it. His lordship found it and had it fastened on ‘the lady’s shoe in a smith forge. - W. K. Vanderbilt and his wife and his daughter; the Duchess of Marlbor- ough, and Mrs. Tiffany went together to see the Derby run. They all backed Sir Martin, but, presumably, with money won on Mr. Vanderbilt’s continued suc- cesses on the French turf. Mrs. Van- derbilt and the Duchess of Marlborough wore navy blue serge dresses and hats with cinnamon colored plumes.

Harvard Favored to Win Intercollegiates

-. re” Crimson Team Qualifies 16 Men for Final, to Be Contested in the Stadium at Cambridge.

BOSTON, Mass., May 29.—As a fitting climax to a fine day’s sport an inter- collegiate record was swept off the boards Friday afternoon in the thirty- fourth annual intercollegiate champion- ships at the Harvard stadium. Four men crossed the bar in the pole vault at 12 feet 1% inches, beating the mark made by Walter Dray of Yale, last year by 1% inches. Those who removed the rec- ord height were J. L. Barr of Harvard, EB. T. Cook of Cornell, J. L. Fickler of Pennsylvania and C. 8. Campbell of Yale. Aside from the record-breaking the showing made by Harvard was the fea- ture. Its representatives performed in such magnificent style that when the .neet was over they were in a position second to none for the championship honors which will be decided today. Sixteen crimson-jerseyed athletes qual- ified, and their performances caused the experts to pick Harvard as the win- ner of the meet. The trainers of various teams were of this opinion, but all said it would be 4 great battle, resulting in Harvard win-

ning and Cornell, Pennsylvania and Yale fighting it out for second honors. “With even luck I now see no rea- son why my men should lose,” said Pooch" Donovan, the Crimson trainer. “Cornell has fallen down considerably, and I think we'll win. Pennsylvania, Yale and Cornell will give us fight, but it now looks as though we'll beat them.”’ Mike Murphy, the veteran trainer of the University of Pennsylvania, can see nothing but Harvard. ‘‘The champion- ship will go to Cambridge this year,” he said. “Harvard has good, consist- ent men, and I should say that they’ll win by about seven points. The best I hope for is a place among the first four.’’ “Nothing but Harvard,” yelled Ber- nie Wefers, Columbia’s trainer, as he rushed from the field after the meet. Jake Moakley of Cornell, Johnny Mack of Yale, Keane Fitzpatrick of Michi- gan, Tom Keane of Syracuse, and Al Copeland of Princeton, «.2 said they thought Harvard would win, but re- fused to give their choice for second honors.

CENTRAL HOPES — TO WIN MEET But McKinley’s Big Entry Seems to Have Best Chance in Stadium Games. Athletes from Centra] High School, Smith Academy, McKinley High School, Yeatman High School, Manual Training School and Western Military Academy will compete in the annual track and field meet of the Interscholastic Leagus at the Stadium, Saturday afternoon, in which the McKinley High School team is favored to carry off the point trophy. The Central High School, which is usually the favorite to win the ban- ner, finished behind the South Side boys in the annual Washington Univer- sity meet, It is thought that the conditions which prevail this afternoon will be in favor of Central High, for the reasoa that the Little Rock High won a couple of firsts in the recent meet, which may go to Central High, Saturday. The Western Military Academy team also won the championship in Class B, and may also take some of the points jthat the McKinley team is counting on. McKinley High has entered the largest team of athletes for the meet that has competed in an interscholastic meet in years, and if the South Side beys do not carry off the honers they will be badly disappointed. The first event will be started at 2:30 o’clock, —>——__.

The threéé men—the vaudeville actor, the bicyclist and fighter—were having a late supper. With them was an Ameri-, can actress, playing here. Into the réstaurant walked an African, wWwear- lng evening clothes and modest jewels —everything correct but his complex- ion, in the dpinion of the Americans at the table near. As everybody knows, the French draw no color line. The black man’s demeanor did not please McFarland, and still less when the African raised his glass to the American actress. When the black man started for his taxicab McFarland fol- lowed him. | “It don’t go!” cried McFarland— and smash! He knocked the African down. “That's your place!’ Confusion followed. A dozen waiters rushed to the lanky McFarland, who helped to win the last six-day bi- cycle race in New York. The waiters did not know the chunky Jimmy Britt, who was at them in a second, smash- ing right and left. Kelly, who is husky, too, also took a hand, and the three fought their way out, leaving the wait- ers and some of these at supper very much the worse for wear. The American actress rejoined her companions, remarking: “This sort of thing makes me feel homesick.” RECORDS FALL WHEN BIG

SIX TEAMS HOLD MEETING | Fsscsz COLUMBUS, O., May 2%.—Records were smashed or equaled almost in every event Friday at the annual ath- letic meet of the big six Ohio colleges. First place went to Ohio State Uni- versity, which had 4 points. Other colleges finished in this order: Oberlin, 43; Reserve, 39%; Wesleyan, 28; Wooster, 564%; Kenyon, noné. Kenyon took part in only two events. Western Reserve proved the surprise of the day. Muff Portman, one of her football players, broke two Bix Six records in both the hammer throwing and shot- put. He threw the hammer 123 feet and 2 inches. In the 16-pound shotput he put the weight 42 feet 6% inches, break. ing the record by 3 feet 9% inches. } Baller of Oberlin had an easy time in the one-mile run. His mark was 4:26, seven seconds faster than the record in Big Six contests. Records were equaled in the 100-yard dash, 40- yard dash and 12-yard hurdle, while in the pole vault Kimball of Ohio State

made 10 feet 11% -inches, % inch above] the record. Gov. Harmon was among the 4000 people. A Se Re eee ened = SS eee, aaa OE ? HOLLAND’S MAGAZINE 10 Cents at News Stands Read the June number. OO ig how it could be improved, we adopt your suggestion

‘Copper Directors Ordered to ' Produce Them or Go to Jail for Contempt.

TRY TO OUSTPRESIDENT ‘He Balks Plan and Ignores Demand Because He’s Already Indicted.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 29.—Fritz Augustus Heinze, who fought the Standard Oil _@rowd to a standstill in Montana, a few years ago, has undertaken the job of fighting the United States Govern- ment by calmly blocking orders issued by the Federal grand jury and the United States Circuit Court for the pro- Guction ef the books of the United Cop- per Co. The books have disappeared. Heinze is making the fight single- handed. Friday morning the battle started. when Judge Lacombe threw a carload of fright into the directors of the United Copper Co. by giving them until 4p. m. to produce the books or go ‘o jail for contempt of court. Heinze, be- ing already under two Federal indict- ments, was not included in this order, _@e it would have practically given him tmmunity on the charges on which the Government expects to send him to the Federal prison at Atlanta. Directors Indignant. The alternative given the directors of producing the books or going to jall made them burn with indignation ‘@gainst Heinze. He is president of the United Copper Co., and they compelled him to call, off-hand, a meeting of the board of directors. Then they de- Manded that he produce the books and fave them from jail. _ He refused on the ground that he was already under ingictment and was not required to give evidence to the United States District Attorney. . Then the énraged and scared directors adopted a resolution deposing Heinze as president. Heinze pointed to a section of the by-laws of the company, which provides that an officer can be deposed only after five days’ written notice. That by-law rendered the _ resolution Wortéless, but the directors at once Planned to serve the required notice, go that they can oust Heinze from the presidency at the earliest date possible. Federal Courts Defied. The day ended with Heinze success- fully defying the Federal courts and ‘with the directors out of fail, the Court being satisfied they had done all in their power to produce the books. What will be done to Heinze will not be fully decided until Tuesday after- noon, when Judge Lacombe returns from an out-of-town visit. The legal difficulties he was already in were se- Fiously multiplied, it was stated, as a Tesult of the strenuous happenings of the day. (For one thing, it was announced, Diz- trict Attorney Wise is going to ask Dis- trict Attorney Tettiine to procecd against Heinze in the State criminal @ourts on a charge of having mutilated _ the books of the United Copper Co., 1s {t ig known that 35 pages were torn ut of one of the ledgers.

SHOCKS LEADERS Republicans Wonder if . He Means Bill Is Not What People Wanted. CHAMP CLARK GRINS

Says Treasury Figures Show Measure Is Re-Enactment of Dingley Law.

By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 29.—Republican leaders in the House got a shock when they read Secretary MacVeagh’s esti- mate of the revision contained in the Payne tariff bill as it stands today. They cannot figure out whethér or not Mr. MacVeagh’'s selection of schedules for publication was the result of a deliberate purpose on the part of the administration to show to the country that the Payne tariff bill was not a revision of the tariff such as the peo- ple expected. The most hopeful tariff revisionists took courage and expressed the belief that President Taft had done his best to throw a scare into Congress. Champ Clark, leader of the Democrats in the House, looked over Secretary Mac- Veagh’s list today and grinned: Re-Enactment, Says. Clark. “‘Well,”’ he said, “if President Taft sees this list and then signs the fraudu- lent traiff revision which is now being passed, I shall wonder what he meant by calling Congress to meet in extraor- dinary session. These figures from the Treasury Department show conclusively what we have been charging, that the bill is nothing more than a re-enact- ‘ment of the Dingley law.” Representative Burleson of Texas said he thought President Taft would be sat- organization gave him. Representative Gillespie of Texas said the President would sign any bill sent to him. Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Committee, looked over the fig- ures carefully. His only comment was: “Well, this is only part of the fig- ures.” “Do you think the other ‘part’ will satisfy Mr. Taft's desire for tariff re- vision downward?” “Well, I’m too busy to be guessing puzzies,’’ said the House leader. Senator Stone of Missouri charged the members of the Finance Commiitee with withohlding important information bearing on schedules of the tariff bill. The Senator referred specifically to a report on wages paid in the various in- dustries in Germany, and compiled bv the German Government. Mr. Stone declared that when the question of the relative wages paid in this country and in Germany was be- fore the Senate, the members of the Finance Gommittee and surely the chairman of that committee knew about this report of the German Govern- ment. “Yet,” Ne said, “when we were dis- cussing the question and trying to get at the real facts, not a word was said about the report.’’ The Missourian paid his respects hot- ly to Smoot. ‘'The Senator from Utah,” said Stone, “who seems to be and is worthy to be chief Neutenant and the right arm of the chairman of the Finance Committee and 1s often put for- ward in the front of the fight, told us repeatedly that the wages paid American workmen employed in the manufacture of razors were three times as much as those paid to their competi- tors engaged in that same line of em- ployment in Germany.” Senator Aldrich arose to say that a report of the German Government rela- tive to wages in Germany had been sent to the committee, but it was in Ger- man and never had been translated. “The Senator from Missouri seems to know what is in it. I do not,’’ con- cluded Aldrich. “It would seem that the Senator from Rhode Island did not want to know what was in it,” was the reply of Senator Stone.

ne . LONDON MONEY FINANCES MANY STOCK TRADES esa l Week in American Markets Shows Second Step in Typical Boom,

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 2%.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: The Siock Exchange was closed fer an extra holiday today, both here and #t London, and there were no quota- tions. Abroad and at home the characteristic incident of the past week has been’ the advances in stock market, and the fact that London is now financing not only its own operations of the sort, but a considerable part of ours. This is a familiar second chapter in en American ‘‘Stock Exchange boom.’ Overflowing home capital first provides the needed resources; London is next appealed to and responds on easy terms. The third development usually is a sign that London is beginning to reckon up its own outstanding engagements and scrutinize future commitments more carefully. This mood hardly seems to have shown itself as yet. Of recent years, however, the sequence of events in episodes of this sort has tended to move with rather startling rapidity. Trade Movement Follows. The “traae movement,” which is as- sumed to underlie the fluctuation of financial values, does not move as fast, but it has an obstinate way of follow- ing its path on the deliberate lines with which merchants are famillar, and which they undoubtedly prefor. Occa- sionally, as in the sudden rush of. tex- tile. buyers into the market after the price reductions of a year ago, it seems to have suddenly leaped from complete stagnation into the full activity of ‘téom times.” The iron and steel trades repeated the experience after the similar price reductions of the present year. The textile trades rather soon returned [to normal and quiet conditions after the price cutting had ceased. It remains to be seen how far the precedent will be followed this year in the other industry. Trust Companies Near Reserve. The bank statement showed little ef- fect from the financing incident to the large bond operations of the week, the loan account being virtually unchanged, with an actual increase of only $197,300. The cash account was enlarged to the extent of $5,000,000, which showed that the large gold exports of last week must have been partially financed this week. The net result was an addition of $3,086,000 to the actual surplus. The trust companies reported $8,201,000 and a sufficiently heavy increase in deposits to suggest that they are now near their reserve limit. , ww MARR eg LICENSES.

QUIET AND NARROW RANGE IN WHEAT May Deal Is Closed Out With Lit- tle Feature and General Mar- ket Listless. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS IN BRIEF CHICAGO, May 29.—Early trading in the wheat market today was a dis- appointment to these who had prophe- ed a@ sensational advance in the price of May delivery as a result of a wild scramble amung shorts to ‘‘cover’’ sales before the expiration at noon of the spectacula: ‘‘deal’’ in that option. In- stead of the predicted wild excitement in the pit extreme quietness prevailed and dvring the rivet half- hour the only quotation recorded on the May delivery Was that made on initial transactions which was :F higher than the previous signe. at $1.3 coaetoan” continued dull the re- mainder of the day and prices moved within nerrow limits. There was only the one quotation for the May option namely $1.34. The market close

steady with May lc bl her at $1.34. vay ae up %c at $1.1 Th. r tone preva ied in. corn throughout the entire day. At the close May was u \%c at Foc ry Ac and July up 4 Oats AR 1\%4c lower to ec higher. Sac at 741

The local wheat market fair Saturday, the last day for del May contracts. The deal was closed out without much feature or excitement, about 50,000 bu being delivered at the ring price of $1.38. Most of the takers showed a ten- dency to carry the stuff, only a very small was ulet af- lwery on properten being sold back in the pit. The one of the general market was dull and narrow, July ranged moderately higher, but the distant futures were easy at barely steady levels. The close was %*#@%c higher for the day on July, but Ke lower on other gene The exchange will ve closed Mon- “—"h May 31, Saanant ai day. ‘he continued strong cash situation tend- ed to bring out a scattered buying move- ment at the opening. The news was very gencrally of a decidedly bearish character, but the modertae amount delivered and the readiness with whicn offerings were absorbed in view of the very high premiums on cash wheat, encouraged a steady undertone. Re- ceipts continue very small, cash wheat ex- tremely high and further decreases in the small stocks were brought about by wheat being called out for May delivery. Initial prices were firm and July scored a fractional advance, but the other deliveries soon de- rs a & tendency to sag from the opening Cables were weak, and the foreign news again bearish. World's shipments are ex- pected to be very large, there were further rains in Argentine where they were needed, foreign spot markets were weak under a slow demand and European crop advices showed an encouraging tone. The domestic outlook also continues favorable. The weath- er is still all that could be asked and the higher temperatures should cause improve- ment in districts where the growth has been backward. Ey however, did not have much effect on July tion, which was sentiment- ally stronathonal by the doubt as to whether it will be a new or an old crop position and the acute congestion in the cash market. Trading a ge 0 the early periods of the session was light and tne market rather irregular. July wheat opehed %@%c higher, at $1.18, advanced to $1. Saelined to $1.13, vanced ; and September wheat opened wc declined to $1.074,@1.07% and rallied’ to ty .07%. December wheat sold a shade lower a The lete trading was listless and nothing of importance developed regarding price move- ments or pit operations. The close was steady. July wheat closed at $1.13%4 sellers. Septem- ber wheat at $1.075¢ sellers and December wheat at $1.06%,@1.07 bid. Cash wheat ruled dull but strong. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour for the day were 188,000 bu. Stocks of wheat at Minneapolis decreased 75.900 bu for one day. Minneapolis cars were 103 against a holiduy lest year. Duluth end Winnipeg 49 against 24 last year. Primary receints of wheat were 158,640 bu, with shipments of 161,119 bu. and local re- ceipts were 14,000 bu with shipments of. 15,- 2¢é0 bu. Corn was also lightly traded in and ruled steady on .the absence of deliveries on Mav contracts and an upward range at Chicago. Receipts of corn were again small in the main, although arrivals at Chicago some- what exceeded expec aan. and stocks con- tinued to decrease. Cables on corn closed unchanged. Local prices moved slowly, but were well supported and closed unchanged to 4c higher for the day. Cash corn was steady. Seaboard clearances of. corn for the ay | were 6000 bu. *rimary receipts of corn were 768,000 bu, with shipments of 06.850 bu, and local ys gd a 46,200 bu, with shipments of 40,250 b Oats » inactive and closed nominally unchanged to 4c tower for the day.

In the early days when the gold seek- ers flocked to San Francisco across the Isthmus, around the Horn or across the old wagon trail leading from the Mis- sourl to the Golden \Gate, it is said that a Dutch landlord in San Francisco greeted his guests with the query: ‘‘Did you come the Horn arowynd, the Isth- mus across or the land oxer?” Through some such distinction from the waterways, the Overland \Trail came by its name, and today the raijroad that succeeded it is known everywhere as the Overland Route. The story of this picturesque old transcontinental highway, 2000 miles in length, from the day when the ploneer of old threaded his way through the wilderness down to the driving of the golden spike which completed America’s first Overland railroad, has been sketched in a book issued by the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific passenger départments, . “The Overland Route to the Road of a Thousand Wonders” it is called Profusely illustrated, it tells how ad- venturers, hardy pioneers, gold-seekers and Mormons on their way to the land of promise, all traveled this road, and how later the pony express and the Overland stage made their long and haz- ardous journeys over the trall now cov- ered by train in & hours. Aside from the romance of the old ‘trall’s story, many interesting features are brought out in relation of how the first Overland railroad was built. It 's declared that “an arrow was shot for every spike driven” in brushes with In- dians as the work slowly advanced. Ths | book can be obtained by sending 12 cents to cover malling cost to B. L.

SPIRIT LOVE WIN MANY ADMIRERS St. Louis, Man Among Those Who Write to Former Wife of Minister. OFFERS OF MARRIAGE —— ——— Woman Who Wore Overalls and Won Husband Thinks She Can Do It Again.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, O., May 29.—Her ob- jections to spirit love, cigarettes and drinking have won for Mrs. Carrie How- ell-Wilder sympathy and regard from many men in various parts of the country. If she marries again it will be to a younger man, one who can give her the love and happiness she desires. That many men want to marry Carrie Howell, as she is now known, is proved by their letters. They have come from almost every State in the Union, all in- stigated by the sensational story of her marriage and divorce from the Rey. A. J. Wilder, an Episcopal minister. She says she is not looking for a husband just now, but has no objection to any offers. Among the letters offering her sympa- thy and asking for further acquaintance is one from 8t. Louls, Mo. It is said that the man from Missouri must be shown, but this 8t. Louis correspondent was not so particular. At any rate, only a little showing went a long way. He wrote as follows: 2830 Manchester avénue, St. Louis, Mo., May, 2, 1909. “My Dear Mrs. Wilder:— “Having been a most Interested reader in the events in your life re- cently, which have caused you such unhappiness, and unpleasant notorie- ty, Iam taking what you may deem an unwarranted liberty in writing you. Though we are perfect strangers, and this method of forming your ac- quaintance is most unconventional, frankly I should like very much to know you, and am at a loss for any other means to obtain an introduc- tion, other than to write you this candid little note, which I sincere- ly hope will not offend. I should be deeply appreciative of just a line from you before writ- ing more particularly. Truly, H. L, LOFTUS. (Age 29.) P. §.—What I read has appealed to me strongly, and surely, little wom- an, you are deserving of a happier and more perfect life and home than Fate has thus far given you.”’ The above letter was written in a graceful hand, in violet ink, and bears the name of the writer and his street address. Marriage a Lottery. From- Norwalk, O., @ man wrote a rather long letter, but the meat of it all was in the postscript. Here it is: P, S.—They say marriage is a lot- tery. It certain seems that way, and I sincerely hope you will have a better success next time, get someone that will appreciate your true love and worth and you will be happy.” © A traveling man for a drug store wrote from Clarksburg, W. Va., de- scribing himself as 28 years old, me- dium height and weighing 180 pounds. ‘He asked to exchange photographs with Mrs. Wilder and to meet her In Springfield. On cheap paper, and written with a blunt pencil, a man wrote from Gatan Rapids, Mich., as follows: Dear Friend.’ I saw an advertisement In the Ru- ral weekly That you wanted A real Husband. Well, Madam, I wanted a good Industrial wife My Name is age 24 years living on a farm with Mother which I Bought 8 years ago. I lost my Poor Father iast year, so if you have any Idea of getting a Divorce Please rite to me and give me full particulars So I Must Close with best wishes hop- ing to hear from you soon from your friend. Pp. S. Please Exquse riting as My Pen is Bad. I neither smoke drink or chew nor smoke cigaretts.’’ The writer mentioned his bad pen, but wrote with a pencil, in a most illit- erate hand. Thinks Her a Peach. Part of another letter says: I myself despise cigarettes, etc. I have none of those habits of smok- ing, drinking or chewing. But such is life, some men don’t appreciate a good wife when they have one, such a nice, pretty and sweet woman as you are he ought to have been proud of you as I know I would. I don’t suppose it is right to write to you, but I couldn't help it, for I felt so sorry for you and I liked your looks by your picture. I think you are just @ peach. Please don’t show this to’any one but burn it up; just wanted to let you know I have taken a fancy to you and that you have my prayer and sympathy. A man from Coshecton, O., says he is a chicken fancier, and as she is a flow- er fancier, he thinks they would make @ good match. He says he is not a min- jeter, as he does not like ministers. The letter ends as follows: Hoping this short letter will not offend you er cause you any trouble, I remain yours at hand hoping te hear from you by return mail I will close my little prayer.
