pecial to the Post-Diepatch. IRONTON, O., Aug. 11.—After hav- ing assaulted Ella- Welch, aged 13, and having kept the girl, her mother, broth- er and sister prisoners for two days, in their home in the outskirts of Iron- ton, with a shotgun, Charles Davis, a negro, killed the girl with the gun. When capture seemed certain, he made am attempt on his own life by outeng his throat with a knife. The negro had been working at the Welch home up to a few days. ago, when he was discharged by Mrs. Welch, because he annoyed the young daugh- tef. ‘ss Davis went away quietly. morning the entire family went to ehurch, leaving Ella at home. It was then that Davis returned and, finding the girl alone and unprotected, attacked her. Sunday Threatens Their Lives. Before the negro could get away, the mother anc the children returned and . discovered what had been done. Davis immediately took up a shotgun _that was in the house and told the mother and the other children that if they attempted to give the alarm he would blow out their brains. Through Sunday, Monday and part, of Tuesdiy Davis remained in the Welch home keeping the family terrorized with the shotgun. Every few moments he would threaten dire vengeance on them if they should make an effort to escape. Monday night Davis stepped out of the Welch home for a moment, called to a friend who was passing and asked hin to go and fetch a quart of whisky. This. his friend did. He drank freely, getting more boisterous, until finally he told the mother of the girl that he intended to kill the entire lot of them in a few minutes. Just as he was preparing to fire, the frightened woman rushed to another room, closed and locked the door and piunged through a rear window, scream- ing for help. After sunning a short distance, she found a policeman, who hurried to the scene. As they began breaking in the front door Davis leveled the shotgun at the girl's head and shot her dead. Then, opening a rear door, the des- perate negro rushed into the back yard. He was so closely pursued that he drew & long jackknife from his*pocket and cut a deep gash in his throat. The policeman caught him as he fell, and hurried him to a hospital. He will re- cover. The citizens of Ironton are at fever heat over the murder, and lynching..}s openly threatened.

FASE : ae gry os - cy = - al F £ PAPERS SIGN . ahaa OR JOHNSON T MEET JEFFRIES Place to Be Designated in 60 Days, Fight to Be Six Months Later. JEFF TO NAME TERMS ee ee He Can Let Winner Take All or Split the Purse, Just as He Pleases. Spe2ctil to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries will fight for the heavy- weight championship of the world not later than eight months from date if the terms of an agreement signed today by Johnson and Sam Berger, Jeffries’ manager, are fulfilled. Johnson insisted upon the incorpora- tion of a time-limit in the agreement, and after considerable haggling it was decided that 60 days be allowed for the, receipt of bids and that final articles are to be signed at that time. It is further stipulated that the contest shall take place not later than six months after the signatures are inscribed to the final document. It was also agreed that President Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox ball club shall hold the $5000 forfeits of the principals, which will operate as a side bet, as a result of the outcome of the combat. Mr. Comiskey was not consulted in the matter, but after a number of names had been submitted and rejected his name was proposed and promptly ac- cepted. ‘ Jeffries is to be allowed to stipulate the apportionate winnings for winner and loser respectively. At the instance of Johnson, three ways in which the money may be split was included in the agreement, namely, 75 and 2 per cent, 60 and 40 per cent and winner take all, permitting Jeffries to take his pick. The contest, according to the agree- ment, is to be awarded to the club which offers the best inducement, and is to be mutually —— pon, by the principals. An hour and a half were consumed in haggling over these details, which are of minor importance to some that will have to be decided befere the match is a fixture. When the conference opened Berger sought to have Johnson agree upon a stakeholder, but the negro was not eager for that part of the confab. He declared he wanted only to sign articles for a fight that he may know there would be a contest, and after 30 min- utes of wrangling the men were no nearer an agreement than when they started. Berger declined to stipulate a time for the contest or tc accept conditions by which the prize money would be divided. Johnson became indignant and offered to bet $1000 that Jeffries would never fight him. “T don’t want to bother about little details,’’ said the negro. “If Berger is here to act for Jeffries he must know upon what terms Jeff will ‘sign—if he will sign at all. Now if Berger means business I want him to say so and we can draw up an agreement right now. I want this fight over with and off my hands. I think I can whip Jeffries and I don’t want to wait much longer before finding out whether I am mis taken. “T will fight for any division that can be made, but, to come down to busi- ness, will name winner take all, 75 per cent of ti® purse to the winner and % per cent to the loser, or will agree to a split of 60 and 40. Now, then, let’s do something.’”’ That little speech resulted in the sum- mons of a stenographer and rough draft was prepared. With the paper before them Berger and Johnson went through it clause by clause, making alterations, substitutions and erasures. Berger ook exception to the cogno- mens, saying that Jeffries should have the full title of heavyweight champion of the world. That suggestion brought forth a snort of protest from Johnson, and the twv then engaged in a lengthy combat of words, in which remarks that could net be called complimentary flew thick and fast. At the prompting of several newspaper men Berger waived his point and the question o fthe division of the purse Was taken up. There was another bat- tle of words, but Johnson maintained his proposition had been fair and there was littlo for Berger to do but accept. Then there came another wrangle ov- er the side bet. Johnson declared he would post no more than the $5000 .Ber- ger demanded an additional $5000, mak- ing the total side bet of $10,000. “I'm going to bet more than that amount on myself,’’ shouted Johnson, “but not at even money. I will be the outsider in the betting at. the time and I can get odds for my money. “I've shown my attitude by betting that $6000 at evens, which is giving Jeff all the better of it. If he wants any more of my coin he can have it at the prevailing odds when we get into the ring.” That silenced Berger on that point. Then the question of a time limit was taken up and for a time it looked as thongh the proceedings hit an un- passable snag. Johnson was the ag- ortheen nom sdc finally the

SHE SEIZED THE PISTOL Novelist Tells’) Remarkable Story in Suit Again Noted Educator. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MEMPHIS, Tenn., ,Aug. 11.—Mrs. Daisy Turner Kraus has filed suit for divorce from her husband, Dr. William Kraus, one of the most prominent bac- teriologists and chemists in the South. In her petition she dectares that he made several attempts to kill her, on the last occasion her life being saved only by her presence of mtfnd. She says that while she was taking a bath last year her husband entered the bathroom as the door was not lock- ed. In his hand she says he carried a loaded pistol. He was very much ex- cited and pointed the weapon at her head. “I am going to end it all,” he said, according to Mrs. Kraus. Some pretty rapid thinking was done on her part, says Mrs. Kraus and she decided on a course of action. Asked for Time to Dress. “Very well, I would rather die than to live as I am,’’ she says she told him. “But I do not want my mother and the world to learn that I was shot while taking a bath. Give me time to put on a bathrobe, then kill me, if you wish.” While Dr. Kraus hesitated over this matter, she says, she made a grab for the pistol and, striking’ his arm, knocked it out of his grasp. An excit- ing struggle followed, she says, ending in her gaining possession of the weapon after tripping her husband. This incident made Mrs. Kraus de- cide to make the trouble public, she says, and she began to plan for a di- vorce. Found Separation Agreement. Dr, Kraus came to her, she says, and agreed that4f-sre “would not sué for a divorce and would keep their traubleés silent he would sign a contract to pay her $1800 a year and would keep up a $20,000 life insurance policy in her fa- vor. Mrs. Kraus then went to Califortila, where she remained for several months. Then she caused the arrest of Franklin Griffith, a Philadelphia lawyer, who was in Cée&ifornia, charging him with de- frauding her out of $4000 in a mining venture. She admitted that she had gone to Redding, Cal., where Griffith was living, his wife, during his absence. She said She did this to “get a line” on him. A few weeks ago Mrs. Kraus re- turned to Memphis, with the avowed purpose of effecting a reconciliation with her husband. The effort failed. She went to his home and remained for some time, but occupied separate apartments, and the bacteriologist de- Clared he was entirely satisfied with the terms of the separation agreement. Mrs, Kraus, who comes from a lead- ing Mississippi family, and has been prominent in society, has written sever- al novels and magazine articles, and has been planning to go on the stage and star in a play from her own pen.

Mrs. Selwyn C. Ed- gar Saved by Long Rolling Over a Log After Rescue, in Which Mrs. Pree- torious and Mrs.. Coudrey Shared. The capsizing of a dingy in which Mrs, Selwyn C. Edgar, Mrs. Harry M. Cou- drey and Mrs. Edward L. Preetorius, leading society women, were about to be rowed from the Edgar yacht to a pier at the Edgar cottage at Weque- threw the three women

tonsing, Mich., into the water, where they of death by drowning. The women were saved by Frank Ea- ton of St. Louis; who chanced to be near in a motor launch. Mrs. Edgar, who had been in the greatest danger, were in peril was rolled on a log for nearly for saad Mrs. Edgar is being attended by Dr. George M. Tuttle of~ 4519 Washington boulevard, St. Louis, who is spending his vacation at Wequetonsing. <A long- distance telephone message to the Post- Dispatch Wednesday stated that Mrs. Edgar would be confined to her bed for a week or longer. Wind Swings Yacht Around. The Edghr yacht is a 66-foot sloop, equipped with sails and a motor. It carries 20 passengers. The Edgars, with Mrs. Coudrey and Mrs. Preetorius as their guests, went for a sail Tuesday on Little Traverse Bay, on which Weque- tonsing, a fashionable resort, is located. The yacht failed to get up to the pier, as a stiff wind was sweeping the bay. It stopped about 200 feet from shore, in water 20 feet deep, and a dingy was lowered. The skipper of the yacht as- sisted the three women into the boat, and had just taken the oars to row to shore, A sudden gust of wind struck the yacht, swung it around, and crashed it into the dingy, which was knocked upside dewn, throwing its four occu- pants into the water. Mrs. Coudrey and Mrs. Preetorius, hampered by heavy skirts, struggled to remain afloat. Mr. Edgar, on the deck of the yacht, threw life preservers to them. Both women caught the _ pre- servers, and had no difficulty after that in keeping their heads above water. Dragged Out by Skirt. But Mrs. Edgar disappeared. Frank Eaton, in his motor boat, was not far away when the accident happened. He turned on full power and drove the boat as rapidly as possible to the yacht. He saw Mrs. Edgar’s skirts near the surface of the water and seizing them, dragged her out. In rising, after her first plunge into the water, Mrs. Edgar struck the rod which runs to the propeller at the rear of the yacht. This stopped her and held her completely under water. She was unconscious when Eaton laid her in his launch. He had the other women safe in the boat a. moment later and was headed for shore. 4 A considerable crowd was collected there already horro-struck by the accident. Dr. Tuttle was sent for at once. Mrs. Edgar was iaild across a log and rolled in the approved fashion for half-drowned persons. She had swallowed a large quantity of water, and it was with great difficulty that she was revived. It was feared at first that the rescue had been too late, but the persons who weré attending her worked desperately, and after two hours were rewarded by hearing her speak. Taken to Her Cottage. The Edgar cottage is only about 160 feet from the water at the point where the accident occurred, and she was taken there and placed in her own room, Mr. Edgar is president of the Edgar Zine Co. and Mrs. Edgar is very prom- inent th society.

EV, ANDREWS GETS DIAMOND, THEN WARRANT Pastor of Centenary M. E. Church South Buys Pawn Ticket for $3. On information supplied by the Rev. Dr. W. F. Andrews, pastor of Centenary M. E. Church South, warrants were issued Wednesday against John P. Sol- ven of 110 North Broadway and David Gallant, proprietor of the Union Loan Co., at 1416 Market street, charging them with obtaining money under false pretenses. The Rev. Dr. Andrews finds himself in possession of a diamond ring valued by an expert at $15, possibly $20, for which he paid $8 to Gallant and $3 to Solven. Dr. Andrews said that a young man, whom the police have identified and arrested as Solven, came to him at his home, 4141 McPherson avenue, a few days ago with a hard luck story and a pawn ticket. The young man said he was badly in need of a few dollars, and he was will- ing to part with the ticket, which called for a diamond rins at the Union Loan Co., for $3. The ticket showed that he had borrowed $85 on the ring. Dr. An- drews gave the stranger $3 and took the ticket. Tuesday the clergyman went to the Pawnshop to redeem the diamond ring. The pawnbroker, he says, told him the ticket was bona fide and the ring was worth at least $90. “You can have the ring if you wish te pay the $3,’ said the pawnbreker. Dr. Andrews handed over the amount and received a ring set with a small dia- mond. After the expert pronounced it & cheap affair he notified the police. His description of the young man led to Solven’s arrest. Solven told the police that he did not pawn the ring, but that Gallant gave him the ticket to sell. On this statement the warrant for Gal- lant’s arrest was issued.

“MISS SANTA CLAUS” ENDS HER LIFE THROUGH WORRY ore

Philadelphia Viole Noted for Her Charity Left Note Saying She Always Tried to Do Her Best by Her Fellow Man. ————

4 Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.—Miss Eliz- abeth A. Phillips, known as “‘Miss Santa because she was the or- iginator of the Santa Claus As- sociation, a plan for bringing Christ- mas cheer to the poor of Philadelphia, ended her life in her room at 1221 Vjal-, nut street, because of despondency due to the fear that her association was about to fail. She was found stretched on the floor, the cracks through which gas might es- cape stopped with pieces of blanket and a gas tube in her mouth. Apparently she had been dead for sev- eral hours. Miss Phillips left a brief note, which said: “I have been in fafi- ing health for some time. I feel my mind growing weaker. I have tried to do my best. for my fellow-men.” Collected Gifts for Poor. She opened a store recently, but the enterprise was not successful. She closed up the place and became a book- keeper in the big commission house of her father on Dock street. Miss Phillips has collected from hun- dteds of persons, who admired her and who took delight in her work, gifts of toys and good things to eat for the children of the poor. She distributed Claus,”’

them herself. Year before last, early on Christmas morning, she took two automobiles crowded to their tops with toys from the r in which she made her headquarters 'on Walnut street to all sections of the city. During the same holiday season she obtained permission from the Federal Government to get from the Pike Post- office all letters sent there by children addressed to Santa Claus. Thes@ she sorted, picking out those from children who seemed to be in danger of being forgotten on Christmas morning. But she did not confine her good deeds to the holiday season. At any time in the year, day or night, when she heard of distress she endeavored to relieve it. Miss Phillips’ idea, which has been copied by many charitable associations throughout the country, came to her following recovery from a severe fliness. While seated at her window she had @ distinct vision.of Santa Claus beckoning her. So impressed was she that she gave up her position as school teacher at $73 a month and decided to devote her en- tire time to bringing cheer to the Needy. She took laces from her neck and jew- eis from her fingers and began the nucleus of the Santa Claus Association which achieved national reputation.

Honeywell piloted the air. craft. Mr. Crawford is interested in dirigi- ble balloons and aeroplanes and it is said he took his chauffeur with him to accustom him to high altitudes so that possibly he can later drive a dirigible or aeroplane for him. The balloon ascended without mishap and rose lazily in almost a dead calm. A slight breeze started in the northeast when the balloon war at an altitude of 2000 feet. Then it veered and the yel- low gas-bag floated almost due east. A message was thrown over when the balloon was above Grand ‘avenue and Olive street. It was picked up by H. A. Wall of 3521 Olive street at Theresa ave- nue and Olive street. It was signed by Spencer and read: “Twenty-six hundred feet. Everything O K, but no wind.’’ An hour elapsed before the balloon reached the _ river. It struck a southeasterly current then that moved it briskly across the river at Bim street, headed for Southern Illinois.

Ten thousand bright, new Lincoln pen- nies were sold at the rate-of six for 5 cents at the Grand-Leader Wednesday. It is the first time in many years that real money was sold at a discount in St. Louis. There was much excitement on the second floor of the big department store when the saleswomen began passing out the beautiful new pennies for any kind of an old nickel. People aimost fell over eacu other to buy them for souvenirs, while some bought them for speculation. One bright little fellow, who probably will be a John D. Rockefeller some day, stepped up to the counter and inquired: “Sellin’ six pennies for a nickel?” “Yes,” answered the clerk.

Y., Aug. 11.—Three Filipinos have been srbpenaed to testi- fy before Coroner Kieindinst in the in- quest into the death of Anna Schu- macher, who was assaulted and killed while decorating her father’s grave in the Holy Sepulcher Cemetery. The Filipinos are students at St. Ber- nard’s Seminary, adjoining the ceme- tery, and are: studying for the priest- ood, expecting to return to their home in the Diocese of Cebu. The presence of the three Filipinos was the first pub- lic intimation that all of the students and others at the seminary will be sworn at. the inquest. The Filipinos were working at the seminary during vacation because they had no other place to go. The wild tract adjoining the seminary, where Anna Schumacher was murdered, was shown at the inquest to be the favorite strol.ing place of priests and students of the seminary. Thomas McSherry this morning iden- tified the spade used by the murderer in burying the girl’s body as one he mixed pig feed with at the seminary pigpen. Posse Searching for Man. A man hunt is now in progress which may résult in the arrest of the murder- er. Deputy Sheriffs Bermingham, John Stott and James E. Smith’ have gone to the town of Greece to look for a man in.a blue suit and a straw hat, who has been living in the woods back of the new portion of Holy Sepulcher Ceme- tery. Members of the Schumacher family have declared their suspicion of a man so clothed who followed them in the cemetery Sunday afternoon and told them the missing girl would be found in Section H or not at all. Such a man was kicked from a freight train on the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg line just back of the cemetery at 2 o’clock this morning. He doubled back in the woods whence he had come and the brakeman sent word to the county officials. — Search of the woods showed that the man has been living there for several days, doing his own cooking and evi- dently seeking retirement. pedestrian trip was given up uniess it was on account of the hot weather and the dust in the roads.

BORROWED ON THEM $110,000 Worth Deposited for $50,000 .Loan Had Beeyg Taken Away From Trust Company. By Leased Wire “rom the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—“High finance in Wall street; or who stole the securi- ties?” is the title of an investigation by the District Attorney’s office that has become the scandal of the day, for it involves the Windsor Trust Co., one of the biggest of the money institutions of the city, and prominent money brok- ers. Already one man is in the Tombs in default of $30,000 bond and others may be there before night. F. Augustus Heinze is known to have lost nearly $300,000 by similar frauds, but he is not the only victim or the main one. Briefly stated, M. M. Joyce, a friend and business associate of Heinze, dypos- ited $110,000 worth of marketable cop- per securities with the Windsor Trust Co. for a time loan of $50,000. Being an active trader, Joyce bought more of the stock in the next few days and discovered that it was part of the very same lot he had pledged with the ‘lrust company. Thereupon he sought to pay his note: its terms expressly providing for pay- ment before maturity, and -obtain his securities. The trust company gave an- swer that the note had been paid and the securities surrendered. Then Joyce let out a bellow for the police, just like a man does when his favorite pocket has been picked. The man under arrest is Donald L. Persch, a fashionably dressed, keen-wit- ted, alert fellow of 30, who has been mixed up in questionable transactions before this. He is in the Tombs in de- fault of $50,000 bail, having been com- mitted there on a charge of grand lar- ceny. Big Men Involved. One of the many lawyers who are supposed to know the true story of the recent fraud, said that if the District Attorney could get young Persch to “squeal,”” two of the biggest men in the downtown district would be in- volved. Persch gives no promise of “squeal- ing,”’ but the District Attorney’s office is hopeful of inducing him to talk freely. What amazes the District Attorney’s office in connection with the disappear- ance of the securities {s the part the Windsor Trust Co. played in the trans- action. Information indicates that the trust company was a party to the de- ception practiced upon Joyce .to make him believe he was really borrowing the $50,000 from the trust company and that his securities would be kept intact in the strong box of the company until the loan matured or was paid off. It also has been developed that F. Augustus Heinze has lost between $200,- 000 and $300,000 in eight months by the questionable sale of securities he had pledged to secure loans. How the Deal Was Worked. Persch’s arrest followed after it had been shown he caused the $110,000 worth of stock belonging to Joyce to be sold for $95,000. The case is a bit complex because of the many persons involved. Joyce was in the market as a borrower. W. L. Clark offered to find $50,000 on the $110,- 000 of copper stock and the offer was accepted. Richard Kaufman, a broker, was sent to the Windsor Trust Co. to ask them to handle the loan and suppress the name of the real lender. The trust company is alleged to have agreed and to have told Joyce it was loaning him the money. This the trust company de- nies, saying it was acting only as a trustee and that Joyce knew this. Then Persch, whose office is with Clark, came into the case. It was up to him to get the $50,000 that was to be/ loaned by the Windsor Trust to Joyce. Persch knew that John Sherwood was high in the favor of Leonard J. Field. Sherwood says Fersch told him he had $110,000 worth of the copper stock tied up for a $50,000 loan and suggested that he borrow $50,000 from Field, obtain the stock and sell it at the market price, taking as his fee 10 per cent of all over $50,000. Field was willing and on Aug. 2 advanced $50,000, charging his friend Sherwood $30. Letters in Evidence, Persch evidently expected the loan would be made by Joyce Friday, July 20, and he gave Sherwood the following “authorization” to receive Joyce's stock from the Windsor Trust co., though this was three days before _ stock was received’ by the conmpany, “July 3. J. F. Sharwesiti-ttiadty re- ceive for my account 16,000 shares of Ohio common stock and 4000 shares of Davis Daly Copper Co. from the Winda- | sor Trust Co. and pay $50,000 for same. D. Persch.”’ Monday, Aug. 2, the day the loan real- ly was made, Persch gave Sherwood the following order to sell Joyce’s stock: “Aug. 2. J. F.

Arrésted in Cigar Store Will Be Examined When Body Reconvenes. Charges against eight men arrested in a raid on Steve Pensa’s cigar store, at 2119 Washington avenue, evening will be submitted to the grand jury when it reconvenes after its sum- mer vacation, and the men arrested will be summoned as witnesses in an in- vestigation of alleged: hand-book gam- bling. Detective Peter’ Wells and the gam- bling squad have been watching Pensa’s place. Tuesday afternoon, when they arrested Pensa and the eight men who were in the cigar store, they found be- neath the counter 15 envelops contain- ing amounts of money ranging from 70 cents to $27. The envelopes bore ini- tials. The prisoners were taken to Central District Station, where they were later released On common-law bonds. De- tective Wells admits that the evidence gathered in Tuesday’s raid is not suf- ficient to base prosecution, but he seeks to get the men arrested before the grand jury as witnesses.

TAKES WIFE 10 SEE HIM KILL HER ADMIRER Special to the Post-Dispatch. WILKESBARBHD, Pa., Aug. 11.—Tak- ing Mrs. Babb with him to where Phil- ip Richards was working, Michael Babb kilisd Richards. Babb calmly says his wife’ told him Richards had hypnotized her and that she would have to kill him to free her- self of his powerful influence over her. Rather than let her commit such a deed, Babb decided to kill Richards, he says, and invited his wife to see him do it. Mrs. Babb denies this. She vows her husband had suspected Richards and threatened him. She warned him often not to aitack Richards. She thought when she accompanied her husband that he wished only to warn Richards in her presence not to visit their home again. Richards, who was reputed to know something of hypnotism, was engineer of a coal mine at Edwardsville, near here, He was alone in the engineer's reom at the top of the shaft when Babb and his wife entered. Drawing a re- volver, Babb fired twice at close range; one bullet pierced Richards’ head, the other his heart. He fell dead before he could throw the lever to stop h engine. Had Babb shot two minutes before, he might have killed 11 men. The en- gine had hoisted a cage containing 19 miners, they had alighted at the shaft’s: top and Richards had just started his engine to lower the cage when he was killed. Had he been shot two minutes earlier, the ascending cage would have been dashed to pieces against the tim- bers above the shaft’s top. The Babbs, who have two children, have been married seven years and seemed to be happy until Richards came here, almost a year ago.

at 2623 How- A carnival, expected to be one of the largest ever held in St. Louis, will be given Friday. afternoon, Aug. 20, at American League Park for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. Several prominent St. Louis women are patronesses of the carnival and are preparing a program. Aug. 20 will be the annual outing day of the actors and actresses who will be playing at the summer gardens in St. Louis that week. No matinees are scheduled for Aug. 20, and it is a cus- tom to set the afternoon aside to al- low the stars and members of the com- panies to meet each other. At the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund carnival, all will be on the program for the enter- tainment of themselves and the spec- tators in the grand stand. Stars to Sell Refreshments, Countess Venturini, the Suburban star, and Grace Van Studdiford, the Delmar stellar attraction, will be on the bill. All the others actors and actresses who will be in St. Louis that afternoon at the gardens and theaters will contribute something to the entertainment. The stars will go through the audi- ence selling refreshments, so those who have been curious tv see them without the footlights’ glare will have an op- portunity. A team comprising actors will play a baseball game with the stars of the Browns and Cardinals squads. An exhi- bition game will be played between two nines of actresses. Who's Going Upt There also will be a balloon ascension. Capt. John Berry, winner of the Indian- apolis national balloon race, will ascend in the balloon University City from the grounds. A six-inch gas main has been run into the park. It will take .most of the afternoon to fill the gas bag, go everyone will get a chance to see this interesting part of a balloon ascension. Capt. Berry will have a companion in the basket. Who that passenger will be is a secret until the afternoon of the carnival. This much as to the identity is revealed—his making an ascension should settle the present difficulties of the St. Louis Aero Club and the South St. Louis Aero Club. These are some of the bigger features of the carnival. From day to day in this column other features will be an- nounced as the program is filled out. It is expected by those who are arrang- ing the affair that a record crowd, even for American League Park, will fill the benches the afternoon of the Carnival. At the Grattan Moving Picture House at Grattan and Lafayette avenues, a benefit for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund wiil be held Thurs- day evening, Aug. 19. A. A Epstein, the manager of the theater, announces : that he will have a special program for the occasion. There will be three tketches and other vaudeville features, besides the regular moving picture per- formance. The children of the 6000 block in Bart- mer avenue are preparing for the pro- duction of an ambitious four-act play called “The Phantom,” to be given for the benefit of the fund. The following children, all under 12 years of age, will be in the cast: Martha Eisman, Con- stance Hopkins, Margaret Smith, Ruth Frazer, Romana Blair, Dorothea Hop- kins, Owille Purdy, Roy Purdy and Irv- ing Lippman.

LOW BIDS ADD HIGH TOWER 10 CITY BUILDING Municipality Can Afford Crowning Feature of New Court’s Structure. Unexpectedly low bids by contractors for the Municipal Courts building, to be erected at Fourteenth and Market streets, will make possible .the erection of £° tower of the building, which the Board of Public Improvements had already decided was impossible because of lack of money. The successful bid Was nearly $200,000 .ess than the esti- mated cost of the building. The structure was designed by Archi- tect Isaac 8S. Taylor, whose plans in- cluded a tower, which added much to the appearance of the building. The estimated cost of the tower was $55,- 000. The Board thought the building could not be erected for the money available, and decided thaf, as the tower served no practical purpose, it would be done away with. Since the opening of bids it has been practically decided to restore the tower. The Board awarded the contract to the C. L. Gray Construction Co., on its Bedford limestone bid of $596,771.50. The bids for the new jail, which will be included in the building, will now be advertised for. This cost is estimated at $250,000, and the finishing of the in- terior of the court building is estimated at $230,000. It is considered probable that both these costs may be brought within $400,- 000, making the cost of the completed building close to the $1,000,000 appropri- ated. Twelve bids were submitted, those on Bedford limestone, the material select- ed, being: Cc. L. Gray Construction Co., $596,- 71.50; James Stewart & Co., $607,870; Hartmann Bricklaying and Construc- tion Co., $601,634; Kellerman Contracting o., $611,619; Fruin-Colnon Construction Co., $632,970; Hill-O’Meara Construction Co., $626,728; Hiram Lloyd Building and Construction Co., $668,850.50; BD. & A. Stein- inger Construction Co., $669,527.50; Wil- liam Miller & Sons Co., $670,752.50; Chas, O. A. Brunk, $693,024.50; Pelligreen Con- struction and Investment Co., $699,672; Murch Bros. Construction Co., $718,346. TITLE GUARANTEE CO. TO USE TWO NEW BUSINESS FEATURES Installment Loan Plan Is Designed to Meet Needs of Small Borrower. Two new features will be made spe- cialties of the trust company business to be done by the Title Guaranty Trust Co., which recently absorbed the Lin- coln Trust and Title Co. The first of these is an installment loan business. The installment loan plan is of special service to the small borrower. It is con- ducted along somewhat the same line as the common building loan association, with this difference, however: that in the case of the latter the borrower is forced to pay interest on the whole amount of his principal from the day he makes the loan until it is fully paid up. Under the installment loan plan -of the Title Guaranty Trust Co. the borrower pays interest only on the amount of the principal remaining; thus both the amount of the principal and the amount of the interest grow smailer month by month. The second feature in which this com- pany will specialize is an entirely new one. Where heretofore it has been the practice for bond houses having an issue of municipal or district bonds to place on the market to have their counsel merely approve of the election which authorized the bond, this company pro- poses to guarantee the legality of such

face of the bond.

By Leased Wire From the New Yort Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11—James K. Hackett and Mary Mannering, after more than a year of separation, follow- ing the serving of papers on Mr. Hack- ett in a divorce action brought by his wife, have become reconciled again and the divorce is off. Mr. Hackett made known the news himself today, “Miss Mannering has withdrawn her suit for divorce,” he said, “and I'm very happy.” Miss Mannering was not with him at the moment, but she was reported as very happy, too. Their friends both in and out of stage life, were delight- ed, for both actor and actress, because of their good looks, talent and personal charm, are immensely popular. LAttle Girl Is Peacemaker. The reason for the withdrawal of the sult was not made public, but it is more than likely that little Elsie Hack- ett, who is 5 and dainty and as pretty as you'd expect a daughter of such parents to be, was responsible for the abandonment of the unpleasant legal action, Last fall, as the luck of theatricals had it, the Hacketts played in Forty- second street theaters across the street from each other, James K. at the house which bears his name and Miss Man- nering at the Lyric. He was doing “The Prisoner of Zenda,”’ she ‘‘Glorious Betsy.”” They had been formally sepa- rated then since éarly in the summer, Miss Mannering having custody of little Elsie. During the Forty-second street en- gagement the child made nightly pil-

“If that keeps up long there would be no Hackett-Mannering @tvorce.” Indeed, before the two companies went separate ways there were rumors that a reconciliation wag in view. Now | that it has come the Hacke?fts’ friends jare giving Elsie a large share of the credit. Mr. Hackett and Miss Mannering were married secretly tn 1897, when both were members of the Lyceum Theater Stock Company. They had beet man and wife for eight months before even their fellow players found it out. et

JOSEPH, Mo., Aug. i:s.—In these suffragettes, women are filling all sorts of offices, but it remained for a St. Joseph woman t» become the original “lady coroner.” The duties of the Coroner of Buchan- an County have for several weeks been performed by Mrs. C. F. Byrd, whose ‘husband fills that office when he is at heme. Just now Dr. Byrd is visiting the exposition at Seattle, and is enjoy- ing his vacation with the assurance that the emoluments thereto, accruing are not escaping the purse of the Byrd family. Since Coroner Byrd left home there have been an unusual number of Coro- ner’s cases in St.. Joseph and the coun- ty, and in each of them there has been ‘@ prompt response by Mrs. Byrd; who was legally commissioned as his deputy Mrs. Byrd has been summoned te investigate half a dozen suicides, the same number of fatal accidents, and has officiated in two cases of murder. “I haven't found the duties of Coro- ner especially disagreeable,’’ said Mrs. Byrd. “In the absence of my husband I leok upon the work as my regular » business and I try to dispatch it in a : businesslike way. I am pleased to know that I have won the commendation of the other authorities and have not been criticised by the, public. “Of course I am not a graduate of medicine or surgery, and in cases where it ig necessary that an autopsy be per- - formed I deputize a physician, but there ’ -gre not a great many such cases.’’

A SOULFUL CORPORATION. A thoughtful and patriotic contractor came gal- lantly to the relief of the people. The Board of Public Improvements estimated that the new . Municipal Courts building would cost $1,000,000. The estimate no doubt was based on a complete and accurate study of plans, conditions and the price of building’ material. So sure was the Board of the approximate correctness of its fig- ures that it macoc haste to modify the building to fit the circumstances. It unceremoniously chopped off tLe towers pictured ty a spendthrift architect with a long knowledge of artistry, but impoverished, even pauperish, ideas of economy. As the result of this summary treatment the building was reduced to the lines of a freight shed, but, better that, said the Board, than a deficit so embarrassing that it would last over two elections. All this grated on the esthetic soul of the C. L. Gray Construction Co., a corporation supposed to have none. In the goodness of its heart and out of the amplitude of its resources, it deter- mined to swallow a loss rather than be a party to blighting the vision end smothering the art- istic impulses of a devoted people. It pared its bid down to a point that permits the restoration of the towers. It is a spiendid exhibi:ion of pa- triotism and self-sacrifice. The building will cost what the Board estimated, but the Gray Con- struction .Co. will contribute $403,500 of the; amount. It is splendid., Another reason why Senator Warner should be re-elected is that Aldrich may have some more use for him.

®: 2 - WHAT MAY BE. 7 oe Z People who go the sgcial pace that brings et glen gee as them into publicity show signs of exhaustion. They have been doing too much for their strength. To get a rest without depriving the public of the usual grist of “news,” resort is had to a new announcement. Not what they do, but ‘what they may do, is now accepted as satisfactory by the readers of daily newspapers. Thus Mr. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., we are in- formed, may go up in a balloon, Mra. Alice Roosevelt Longworth may buy a dirigible or she may not. If Henry Gassaway Davis proves his descent from Charlemagne, Miss Elkins may mar- ry the Duke. Carrie Nation may buy a new 3 So ‘tomahawk and Harry and Evelyn may make up. It is so simple that one wonders why it was never done before. What people may do can be ‘mado just as interesting as what they actually do, And as a personage may do anything, sub- lime or ridiculovs, it can be made even more in- teresting than reality. - The movement is well under way and we may look forward confidently to an immense increase in tho number of things people may do. i. i Now that-the New Orleans police and the St.

Louis detectives are in full agreement that the kidnaper of the Viviano children is not the same one who figured in the Lamana case in New Or- leans, the sum of what we don’t know about It has been intelligently and satisfactorily increased. MISSOURI DEMOCRACY’S CHANCE. The Kansas City Post is urging the Democrats of the State to hold a great conference for the ‘purpose of planning a campaign to regain su- premacy in Missouri and the nation. It paints a glowing picture of the restoration of Democracy to power in this State and of the Missouri Democ- racy to leadership in the national councils of the party. Note this dazzling exhibit of the pos- sibilities of a conference: i The State restored to the Democratic ranks, 41! other things will be possible. Little by little Missouri will wrest ‘the palm of Democracy from Texas. The leadership of the State will be a genuine leadership— one born of accomplishment. The leaders of its De- mocracy will be leaders of the national Democracy just as they were of old. They will be men fit for council and battle, in whose hands the issues of the party will be safe. They will lead the party to vic- tory upon the old plan that to deserve victory is to secure it. Where is the genuine leadership born of accom- plishment? Who are the leaders whose accom- plishments mark them as the men “fit for coun- cil and battle, in whose hands the issues of the party wil] be safe?” Are the issues of the party safe in the hands of men who repudiated Joseph W. Folk, with his record of anti-boodle achievements and his plat- form of reform during his campaign for the gov- ernorship? Are they safe in the hands of the men who tried to block the reform program of the Folk administration nnd to brand the admin- istration as a failure? Are they sa‘e in the hands of the leaders who repudiated the solid accom- plishments of the Folk administration and at- tempted vainly to win the State on the reac- tionary platform of the “old gang?” Who are the leaders with the wisdom and strength to reunite the Democracy? Is there promise in the Cook-Dockery-Seibert leadership which elected all the Republican ticket except the Governor and turned the electoral vote over to Roosevelt? Is there expectancy of victory and renewed supremacy in Cowherd and his “Old Gang” asso- ciates who led the party into a ditch? Is there inspiration in the leadership of men who were afraid to mention progress and reform above a whisper and who let the Republicans steal the party’s best assets for fear of offending the cor- poration agents, the lobbyists and the saloon gang? Does “Gum Shoe” Bill offer winning leader- ship? Is there the inspiration of victory in his baking powder cans, his sham health society and his “nigger” swatting police record? Do the ballot-box stuffing methods by which he was nominated for the Senate suggest the tactics of great leadership? ? Missouri can be regained by the Democracy. There is opportunity for “senuine leadership” to regain Democratic supremacy in the State and the nation. But it must be progressive leadership. It must be leadership which will throttle plu- tocracy and privilege, which will smash Federal extravagance, which will fight centralization in the national capital and will repudiate the cor- poration agents and the rabble of corruption and greed in the State. A conference of progressive Democrats who would reorganize the party on a cound platform of Democratic. principles and policies might go far towards regaining Democratic supremacy. But the first necessary step to a successful reorgani- zation is the repudiation of the leaders whose al- liances with corporations and with corrupt and rowdy elements have wrecked the party. a A A. . = ye The Weather Bureau observes that conditions in St. Louis are better than in other cities. The correct statement is that conditions are not 60 bad in St. Louis as in other cities. = = ™ ~~ INCONGRUITIES. Under instructions issued by the Secretary of War our soldiers can no longer secure trust-made goods from the Commissary Department. The Secretary of War is down on tho trusts. Offi- clally he has forbidden the purchase of their r oducts. Obviously this is a boycott—an illegal method

of oppression under the decisions of the Fed- eral Supreme Court. But, more important than this, trust-made goods are goods made by a trust. A trust deserving of repudiation by the War De- partment is necessarily a wicked trust. A wicked trust is necessarily an illegal trust and an {l- legal trust should be prosecuted and put out of business. Greater co-operation and mutual appreciations of the efforts of each other between the Depart- ments of War and Justice would perhaps obviate some of these incongruities. What it would be interesting to know now is whether the Depart- ment of Justice is going to institute proceedings against the Department of War for instituting an illegal boycott or against the trusts which the Department of War must have found illegal. i, i

‘tained on account of the great hordes of unguarded our farmers could buy Russia, and with those of six years, Germany or France, as the wealth of those nations is ordinarily estimated. More important is it that the gains from agri- cultural products come nearer than those from any other field of effort to being the complete rewards of toil. There are middlemen who in- tervene to share in semi-parasitism. But values. depend on the facilities for distribution and these sharings would be legitimate if it were not for an obnoxious speculative system which increases prices when the farmers have little to sell and lowers them when they have much. . | But despite this it is generally true that the farmer labors for himself and pockets the pro- ceeds of his toil. He is our greatest asset, the true creator of wealth, the source of present in- dependence and the hope of the future, He earns all he gets and he is coming constantly nearer to getting all he earuis, i i i i i It is reported that the war party in Bolivia fs preparing a coup d’etat, thus scoring one on Castro, who hadn’t even an entente cordiale in his collection.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Streets Their Only Playground. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am a chauffeur and it often makes my heart bleed when driving through the poorer sections of St. Louls to see so many children running the streets, that it is almost impossible to pass along without injuring some of them. The ordinance of the city does not allow us the liberty of much speed, but what speed is rightfully ours cannot be main-

children. If the parents are so utterly indifferent to the future welfare and present safety. of children that they will not limit the number in their fam- ilies so they will not be obliged to swarm the atreets (for the sidewalks are not wide enough to accommo- date the half-fed throng), then the law suould limit the number of children in each family so that the children could be watched and taken care of and kept out of harm’s way, which would benefit both parents and children, and the public in general. Then owners of all vehicles could drive through those sections of the city with some degree of comfort, as the streets are for the use of vehicles and not in- tended as a playground for children. A CHAUFFEUR. Being a Lady on Nothing a Week. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There appeared in this evening’s paper an article “How to Be a Lady on $11 a Week.” Would like to ask how to live and be a lady on 40 cents a day. I am a young lady of 17, living at home, with @ year’s experience as a hand sewer. I an-' swered an advertisement which appeared ifn the paper Sunday, July 25, advertising for bright, neat girls, capable of neat slip stitching. I worked from Tuesday morning until] I turned sick from the heat Friday, 3 p. m., and received as my pay $1.50 for al- | most four days’ hard, steady work, out of which I had to pay 40 cents for carfara. A WORKING GIRL Children vs. Animals. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I pity Mrs. C. H., whose letter was published Monday. Is she so short-sighted that she is unable to see that the “saucy children” she men- tions are the result of those ‘‘parents who don’t know how to train them’ and that the aforesaid parents are the result of their ‘“‘turning to dumb anil- mals, who have a better disposition’? What is re- sponsible for this “better disposition’? Are chil- dren born ‘‘so saucy and mean that people turn from them’? Certainly not. Then what makes them so? Is not their condition dué to people like Mrs. C. H.., ‘who love animals more than they do children, be- cause they are less trouble, and therefore neglect the latter? She states that “people who are good to animals are always the most upright kind.”” From the tone of her letter I suppose that she does not. consider people whe are good to children as being of the most upright kind. I would-be pleased to have her define an “upright person.” Hvidently she and I do not agree on the subject. If she is right, I would rather not be an “upright” person, Mrs. C. H. is prejudiced against children and in favor of animals. She should look farther. Personally, I have seen children of the type she mentions; but she judges all children by a few. FATHER OF SIX. Dr. Holland on Voting Women. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. As to the hardening and ossification of women— bigger hands, bigger feet, higher cheek bones, lank- er limbs, flatter chests, hooked noses, etc., which Dr. Holland predicts will befall woman, should she be given the ballot, let him go among the poor women who have to labor on the farms, or who scrub floors in the city buildings, or for that matter, his own servants and washerwomen; let him Took at their : ere 35 Bs ; Sy apeahe Pay ae pe rey ect > See me ric js Si Se, ee fhe$, ae 2 “cs ~ ay oh ine ye = eS oe . es ) as ees eas ‘# " ps Sitted . 7 ps KS, Sofie © “2 ‘ “¢ me a a ou "9 7 ‘ ~ 2 : Or, + tik. ae Pay ee my jae ee ik i, ine , * x . . « ot * met 4 - ¥ bs Re ae 6 sD ate ate” ae! * Ee, ae ¢ ; : ez “ ; : oat dnt a i ee eee KE Ces, ; j mo are ‘ ee ' € ai a a ae rE ‘ . m 4 ¢. 5 eae 33 : ; i: ts ete : ‘i ; ; Ree. ; e ‘ ae vf mi : : t ae A ‘ eos. ae e ee Ae Be ae - . z > ae tS ao *s oS eared Pat, oi Ser. x : - . - 4 ~ 7 a * - . .

PERSIA’S FATE. John EK. Mumford, in Colller’s. Persia's fate today hangs on a thread, | and the odds are long against her. But history has repeated itself often in Per- sia and may again. The first Persian Shah who sought refuge with Russia, ana the only one till now, was Tah- masp, last of the Sefi, and that was 400 years ago. To his aid came Nadir, a burly robber and a man. He put the Sefi back on the throne again, and then plucked him from it and took the seat himself. Nadir recovered Afghanistan and carried the Persian colors to the Indus, whence he brought back to Ispa- han the throne of the Delhi emperors asacurio. Then he hammered Russians and Turks into good behavior, and ceased from conquest only when the knife of an assassin stopped his breath. Persia now is hoping fer a reincarna- tion of Nadir, or preferably of Abbas, but it seems a wild hope. It is a dis- heartening spectacle. The land over which puny little Ahmed has just been set up as ruler by the rebellious people themselves, has shrunk and shrunk dur- ing the last few hundred years until half of it has passed into ether hands. Its forests are gone. Its soil, so contin- ually drenched with blood since long before Christ, has all but ceased to produce, and for days the traveler tolls along over roads unspeakably bad, across a dreary monotony of yellow- gray waste, where a verdant spot be- side actual water is a thing to be re- membered. There are ruins everywhere. In des- erts, where no water is, stand towering bridges that in former times spanned important rivers. Fragments of stu- pendous engineering works are scat- tered broadcast, and under the endless reaches of sand that time has piled up le cities that were great when French and German and English, not to say Russian, wore skins for raiment and fought with stone. hatchets. For 30 centuries at least the nation has been perpetually at war—war that was wholesale carnage, and that has swept north, east, south and west with- out much respite, until the marvel is

Forecasts of the value of the year’s crops in- volve the use of figures of many ciphers. In terms of dollars wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley will be worth $3,102,100,900, But the estimated ‘total value of cereal grains comes far from tell- ing the whole tale of farm productiveness. The hay crop is usually worth more than the wheat crop. Cotten rivals hay. Dairy products run up to. $500,000,000 in value and eggs to $350,000,- 000, With these added the season’s yield prom- ises to be worth $5,000,000,000, And poultry, live- stock, fruit, vegetables, etc., will bring the com-

PART I. &4 HE dispositions of woman,” sald Jeff Peters, after various opinions on the subject had been advanced, “run, regular, to diver- sions. “I was working the West with a line of Brazilian diamonds and a patent fire kindler just after my trip from Savan- mah down through the cotton belt with Dalby’s Anti-explosive Lamp Oil Pow- der. "Twas when t .e Oklahoma country was in first bloom. Guthrie was rising in the middle of it like a lump of self- raising dough. It was a boom town of’ the regular kind—rou stood in line to get a chance to wash your face; if you ate over ten minutes you had a lodging bill added on; if you slept on a plank at night they charged it to you as board’‘ the next morning. “I found a restaurant tent just opened up by an outfit that had drifted in on the tail of the boom.

Ma ‘Dugan did the cooking, and Mame waited on the table. “As soon as I saw Mame I knew there was a mistake in the census reports. There wasn’t but one girl in the United States.

A man always feels as frightened and astonished when he discovers that he has fallen'in love as fallen into a ditch in the dark. A wife with a perfectly even disposition some- times gets on a man's nerves as a music bor with It’s easy enough. to love and honor a husband— A man’s love is something like the weather; after a spell of high tem- perature it is likely to be damp and cool for a few days. Methuselah's wives must have found it awfully tiresome waiting for the insurance money and a chance to see how they looked in mourning. A man always says that it was “force of circumstances” that drove him into. the downward path ; but, from the celerity with which he goes, it ‘would appear to be force of gravity that keeps him there.

- = Cardinal's Southpaw Tires In the Kighih and Giants Win Fourth Straight Victory.

By J AMES CRUSINBERRY. HEN the Cardinals and Giants began the fourth contest of the series at League Park Tuesday afternoon the stage was set for a victory for St. Louis. Johnny McGraw, leader of the Giants, turned another game over to New York, making it four straight for his pennant seekers. soon as McGraw learned that Johnny Lush was to pitch he ordered his men to wait. M w knew that Lush had recent- ly passed through a siege of illness. He knew the man had not yet regained all Wis physical strength. “Make him pitch @s many balls as possible,’’ said w before the battle began. ‘‘Per- ‘haps he’ll tire in the end. Just as soon as he shows signe of tiring, then go after him.” Johnny Lush has always been an ef-. fective pitcher against McGraw’s team. -He is a. left-handed twirler, and about six of McGraw’s regulars are left-hand- ed hitters, so Johnny has generally been able te perplex them so much thet he can beat them. ; ‘Try the Waiting Game. But the Giants played a different style of game Tuesday. Instead of banging e fog out when it came over the plate, is their custom, they waited. It was a batter would hit until two strikes had already been called on him. | ‘Then, if possible, he would foul off two or three. ‘In this way Johnny Lush was com- pelled to pitch an extraordinary num- ber of times. For seven innings these waiting tactics were kept up. All this time McGraw sat on the bench and watched Johnny Lush’s arm, In the eighth inning the first batter up was passed. McGraw thought he gaw a sign of weakness in Lush. But the next/two batters lifted fly balls to the outfield. The Giants were three runs hind the Cardinals and it was getting late in the game. “Phen, with O’Hara at the bat, Mc- Sraw noticed that Lush was inolined drop his arm at his side after deliv- the ball. He wig-wagged from bench for O’Hara tc. hit, . O'Hara hit and sent the man on first to >yase with a smacking single te " @enter.

Then in the sixth, Bobby Byrne hit the ball to the left-tleld fence for three bases and ‘gcored on a wild pitch. That made five “runs for the Cardinals and the’ game seemed as good as salted down. But Ames pitched splendid ball in the last funings, permitiing no more tallies local boys and then the Giants’ wim in the eighth, after Lush had tired, gave Am es a- hard-earned victory. “When Beebe relieved Lush, there was @ runner on third and one on second.

Merkle was the batrer and Beebe made a mistake by allowing him to hit the ball at all. He should have been passed to first base, thus filling the bags, and a batter. It’s always easier to get a man out when the bases are filled, fof it’s a force play then to any one of the bags. However, Beebe tried to curve over a strike on Merkle and the young New Yorker lined it viciously under Charles’ feet for a single that scored two runs

FORFEIT MONEY Al Wassem Waits Patiently Three Days, Expecting Toledo Man.

Harry Montgomery, manager of John Billiter, a Toledo (O.) wrestler who wanted to meet Al Wassem, a local boy in a match for a side wager of $200, has not yet returned to St. Louis, al- though he promised to be here by Mon- day at the latest to post his money. In the meantime Hassem has received a letter from Max Luttbeg, champion lightweight, who was his instructor, telling Wassem not to bother, as he thinks that Billiter will never consent) to wrestle Wassem. “Billiter hag an idea how good you are and will not take any chances,’ declared Luttbeg in his letter. He also states that he had to follow Billiter all over the Middle West before he finally got a match with him. Luttbeg to Coach Wassem. The contest took place at Kansas City: Luttbeg won the first fall in 22m. and the second in 50s. If Billiter real- ly makes a match with Wassem, Lutt- beg would come to St. Louis to get Wassem ready for the contest, as Lutt- beg has repeatedly stated that he is willing to wager that Wassem can beat any lightweight wrestler in America, with the exception of himself. Wassem finished second to Luttbeg in the cham- pionship tournament at the New IIli- nois A. C. in Chicago, last winter. Montgomery arrived last Thursday and issued a challenge to any local lightweight. Wassem accepted, but Montgomery declared he had to go to Kansas City, but would positively be back by Monday to post his money and sign articles of agreement. Since then no word has been heard from him and Wassem intends to write to Billiter to learn if he really wants a match or not,

a ot BILLIARD STAR JOINS “OUTLAWS” Morningstar Gives Up Cue Trust Salary and Will Play In- dependently.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Ora Morning- star, champion professional billiard player at the 18.2 balk-line game, has returned the diamond medal, emblematic of his supremacy to the company which awarded it to him, and with Willie Hoppe will be a free lance in the pro- fessional game. Morningstar, after winning the cham- pionship and creating a furore among billiard players, was engaged by the manufacturing concern at a stipulated salary, to play professional matches as an advertisement of the firm’s billiard products. Morningstar now contends that the company established for him certain rules in the playing of his games which prevented him from really show- ing what he could do. His principal objection is that the company woduld not permit him to play more than a 500-point game, while he contends that the low limit for profes- sional games should be 1500 points. Hoppe and Morningstar have now joined forces and are contemplating a tour of the country giving exhibition games. BRITONS WILL TRY TO WIN BACK LOST POLO TITLE NEW. YORK, Aug. 11.—It is now con- sidered practically certain that an in- ternational polo match will be played in this country next year between the Meadowbrook team and the English Players who contended for the cup which was won by the American play- ers in England last month. Riverside Greenfelt, representing the iinglishmen, js now at Newport, and is said to have made a proposition for a match. R. Livingston Beekman willl con- fer with the members of the Meadow- brook team, who are now in this coun- try, and an arrangement will be made within a few days, it is expected, where- by a challenge from the English team will be accepted. The proposed match may be held at either Newport, R: I., in Westchester County, or on the grounds of the Mead- owbrook team, in Long Island. ——____—_ @-----—~ Jim Sullivan at Seattle.

Even the Browns ¥ isn’t such a hard trick to have the | might be soaring in the vertigo altitudes of the pennant scramble with Miner | Brown, Reulbach, Mathewson_and a few of that stripe. The real heroics-of baseball are en- acted by those clubs which try to fight with improper equipment. It might be mentioned in passing that Mr. Hughey Jennings and company have something on them all, in this respect. Jennings’ team is cracking, just-as it did last year. The club is little else than an outfield and a sterling short- stop. \The infield is settling back to the same state of inefficiency it expe- rienced toward the close of last year, prior to Bush’s ‘arrival. The pitchers are beginning to waver, and were never of the Ed Walsh stripe to begin with. The almost complete loss of Donovan's usefulness is at this time a severe blow. A wonderful trio of men in the out- field is all that has kept the team in the race, and even they can’t do every- thing all the time. That Jennings has kept the enthusiasm and fight in his men this long has been little short of a miracle. Many look to see the Tigers fall down a peg or two ere long; but Jennings’ indomitable spir- it may yet rescue the club and send it to the front again. The team was on the rocks last year about one month before the season’s end. It had fallen to third place and wasa strong candidate for fourth when Jennings picked up Bush, inserted him into the scheme, and shot the club to the front after a hard rally. are Without the assistance of truly great pitching, the Tigers are doing better work than any other club in the league. Probably nobody outside of Detroit wants to see the Tigers face the Cubs again for the world’s pennant. But admiration for the persistency of Jen- nings and his men is compelled by the stubborn fight they make when in dis- tress. Batting averages in the Persona] Press Agents’ League for the week indicate that Charles Murphy of the Cubs has gained many points by essays on ‘“‘What I will do with Kling.” He has jumped from .331 to .969.

Inside—We don’t recall having wit- nessed a three-base. error since Jake Beckley was divorced from the Cardi- nals’ first base. The Western clubs do not seem to be fighting the Eastern teams into con- vulsions, as was expected following the switching about of the clubs recently. From the manner in which the West had disposed of the East during the trips of the seaboard clubs to the Occi- dent it was supposed that the East had Shot its bolt and that the Western teams would -henceforth enjoy a light gallon on to the finish. However, here is the entire outfit from the West looking as meek and tame as might be. Perhaps the Browns are making the most surprising showing, they having broken even at New York and Boston and wan a series from Washington. McAleer’s men hold it in their power to determine the temporary leadership of the race during the series at Phila- delphia. With the Tigers sure to take the series from disrupted Washington, a victory for the Browns over Mack's men wil] restore Jennings to the lead. McAleer is not tossing away any games now, and the White Elephant will likely experience a few bad nights, always providing that indifferent pitch- ing staff of the St. Loulsans can enjoy‘ a few good working days. McAleer is bent on showing that the Browns are not the sixth place club they seem to be and hopes to get his asylum for the aged in about fifth place erg long. In the 15 winning games which he has pitched this year, including the extra inning affairs, Ed Reulbach of the Cubs has escaped with an average of but a fraction over five hits per game against him, Never once; even in the extra in- nings, have the hits run into two figures, and only once was as many as nine made off him. He scored a one-hit game, a three-hit game and several four and five hit affairs are to his credit. That’s the pitching effectiveness both St. Louis clubs need—day in and day out. always up to a reliable standard. It’s the failing of both St. Louis teams that spied have no men capable of doing this. eee

Century Crew May Not Try For Lemp Trophy e on a

re Men Have Broken Training and May Not Get Together to Work for River Contest On August 22.

Although the Century Boat Club has been invited to enter its eight-oared shell crew for the Lemp plate race to be held on the Mississippi River a week from Sunday, it is doubtful if the wear- ers of the green will compete. At the regatta held recently the Cen- turys were badly beaten by the Mound City and Western Rowing club crews. Al Bechestobill and Dr. Stockhoff, two of the strongest oarsmen at the Cen- tury Boat club, went to Detroit to wit- ness the National Rowing Regatta races. As yet they have not returned and it is not known when they will get back .The Century eight is out of training and the crew has not been out fo: some time. The club’s new coach, John Furlong, would like to see the club enter a crew for the race, but the time is short to get the men into suita- ble trim. lt was decided to make the distance for the Lemp plate two miles upstream instead of three miles upstream, at a meeting held at the Mound City Row- ing Club Tuesday night. The Mound City Rowing Club men wanted to make the race a three-mile downstream af- fair, but thé captains of the Western Rowing Club and Central Rowing Club, who were present, objected. In the race for the trophy early in the season the Centrals had their shell smashed and |. the Mound City and Western crews were also swamped. The water was high at that time and a launch that cut across in front of the crews was the main cause of the accidents. The river is comparatively low now and a two-mile upstream pull !s not such a hard test as would be supposed. It was also decided to start the race not later than 4 o’clock. The lateness in starting the river races has been in the past the most objectionable fea- ture of these contests from a specta- tor’s point of view. The races are al- most invariably announced to start at 3 o’clock,- but it fs generally 6 Pp. m. ST, LOUIS CRICKETERS WIN: THIRD SUCCESSIVE MATCH LONDON, Ontario, Aug. 11.—Before a

and sometimes later before the crews are sent away from the starting mark. The captains of the Mound City, Cen- trai and Western clubs agreed at the meeting to have their crews on the starting mark promptly at 4 o'clock, and any crew that is not on time will be left behind.

MacCarthy-Evans- AEULBACH HAS: NOT LOST SINCE TALK OF TRADE Frank Chance Threw a Scare Into Big Fellow Early in Season. By beating Brooklyn Tuesday after- noon, Ed Realbach, the sensational pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, turned his fourteenth straight victory, a feat only accomplished once before in major league circles since the rules of the game were such as they are now. Reulbach is a St. Louis boy and Frank Chance thinks he’s the greatest pitcher in the world. He has but one fault and that is a tendency to be wild. Now he seems to have overcome that fault and is practically unbeatable. Along the latter part of May this season, Reulbach was going badly and Frank Chance announced that he might trade the great pitcher or if no one in: the big league wanted him, he would ship him to the minors. That was probably only a scare on the part of Chance just to make his big pitcher take notice, for he hasn’t lost a single game since that day. He has won but 15 games all] season and 14 of them have been the last 14 that he pitched. He lost the first game f he pitched this season when the Car- dinals beat him up in Chicago at the opening series. He won his second game, then he lost three straight and was so wild that he seemed hopeless. Finally, on the last day of May, he beat Cincinnati and he hasn’t Jost a game since.. His record of 14 straight equals that of Jack Chesbro, made with New York in 1904.

COMMISSION TO FIX REASONABLE UTILITIES RATES Public Service Board Will Al- low Only Just Profits to Corporations. NEARS END OF INQUIRY Engineers Ready to Recom- mend Change. in Union Company’s Charges. ean abn cemmaiatieniet

In its first report, which will be ready for the Municipal Assembly in October, the Public Service Commission will recommend changes in the present rates for electricity. At present the only concern furnishing electric current in St. Louls is the Union Electric Light and Power Co., whose tangible properties are being inventoried and a vaiuation fixed thereon by the commis- sion. James E. Allison, vice-chairman and ehief engineer of the commission, says it is impossible to determine until all the data is assembled and _ studied whether the changes to be suggested will provide for a reduction or an in- crease of prevailing prices. Thus far the commission has 14 en- gineers at work on the inventories and valuations. Already these engineers have estimated the quantity of ma- terials and the cost of labor in the Ashley street plant of the Union Elec- tric Co. This data includes excava- tion, concrete work, the steel frame- work and steel superstructure. Valua- tions on these are being calculated by the engineers corps and others. Every Pole Is to Be Inventoried. An inventory has been made also of the mechanical and electrical equipment and the piping system in the Lewis street plant. The value of the ex- cavations, concrete work and_ steel framework of that plant are being es- tablished. Four experts are engaged in preparing inventories and an ap- praisemerit of the piping system of the Ashley street plant. The several substations of the Union company are to be inventoried and as quickly as the data is gathered on these and other buildings, values are being assigned. Copies of the company’s maps, show- ing the number and locatian of its poles, have been made and are ready to be checked by the engineers. Six- teen thousand poles, owned or used by the Union company, are thus cata- logued. As this work progresses, pole transformers, of which there are 2300, also are being checked. . The commission has an expert collect- ing comparative figures as- to the cost of such property as is to be appraised. He is gathering information from all the big cities in the country. All the memoranda of the commission will be- come permanent records and will be in- dexed for reference. To Guard Against Litigation. “The commission believes that every inventory and. valuation should be in such detail as to withstand any scru- tiny made by the company or the courts if litigation should follow the adoption of the commission’s recommendations,” said Mr. Allison, Wednesday. “The tangible property of the several public service companies will be ‘lift- ed’ in détail ana abundant authority will be quoted for the valuations the commissions will fix. “Our corps of investigators includes a civil engineer, two electrical engi- neers, two mechanical engineers and young graduates and students of tech- fF nical schools. I am chief of the corps. “The commission is pushing the work as rapidly as is possible with safety. As soon as there arises a need for an additional expert, one is employed. The commission intends to do the engineer- ing work so thoroughly that our inven- tories and appraisements will be the basis of all rates in‘ the future. “Tt will be only necessary then to learn the changes made in the proper- ties of each company from year to year, In that way the record can serve its purpose indefinitely. Ald From Wisconsin Commission, “Valuations on the properties of one public utilities corporation in Wiscon- sin took five months of the Wisconsin Commission’s time and cost many thou- Twenty-two experts were employed in the work. ‘We began our investigations in June. Through the courtesy of the Wisconsin Commission, which gave us much in- many mistakes that would otherwise have beset our inquiry. Our force is now trained and will move much faster in- subsequent investigations.”’ Mr. Allison was asked whether the Post-Dispatch’s exposition of the exces- sive and discriminatary rates charged by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. had not prompted the Commission to investigate that concern first, “T can’t say that such was the case,’’ said Mr. Allison. “Undoubtedly electric rates were more widely discussed than any other. Our reason for beginning with the Union company were: First, consumers and especially many of the smaller business concerns. Naturally that made its rates the subject of gen- eral interest. Our second reason was that we regarded the Union as the most difficult proposition we shall prob- |} refrain from attempting any prophecy on that point.’’ How will the commission determine a fair rate for the puolic service render- ed by the several companies?” “When all the data has been prepar- e by our engineers and other experts, we shall take into consideration all the usual charges and figure a reasonable return. The details of that process, of course, cannot be given off hand. In special cases there must be discretion.” “Will old and abandoned plants be al- lowed to stand as assets to the amount of their original value, when profits are being figured?” “That is one of those questions that

dicially. We haven't encountered any such case thus far.”’ The location and valuation of the Un- ion company’s conduits are now the principal work before the commission. When this is completed the commission will begin to determine what rates the company should charge. In the course of the investigation thus far the commission has collected many charts showing the prices of various materials for the last decade, biue prints and drawing of buildings and machinery, tables of costs for all class- es Of labor, maps showing the location of wires, poles and condutts, and col-

the commission will have to decide ju- lection of ordinances, statutes and court

decisions, touching the various fran- chises extant in St. Louis. Sleeps Awatting Car; Robbed. Charies E.

~ STEEL LEAD I BRISK DECLINE Short Covering Affords Tem- porary Check, Leaving Market Irregular. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The market Opened spotty and rather irregular to- day. There were a number of conspicu- ous gains while the declines were less nurmrerous. Louisville & Nashville was prominent with a rise of 1%, and the Copper stocks Were al: strong, Amalgamated Copper gaining 1% and Anaconda, American Smelting and Utah Copper large frac- tions. Northern Pacific, New York Cen- tral and Consolidated Gas advanced 1 and Rock Island preferred and Kansas City Southern preferred large fractions. _ Stocks were offered for sale rather freely and although there was a tem- porary ¢@heck on short covering and the hidding up of Amalgamated Copper and Northerti Pacific, the market again de- ciined briskly. #eading and Union Pacific were the weak features of the railroad list, and L. 8S. Steel among the trdustria's, all of which lost a point. Central Rail- foud of New Jersey advanced 2, Con- sclidated Gas 1% and Mackay compa- nies and Amalgamated Copper 1%. American Car yielded 1. American Ice Tumbles. Atiantic Coast Line, Northwestern, Great Northern, International MHar- vester preferred and American ice sank to 1 point below last night and Toledo, St. Louis and Western 1%. The strong 2 point advance in Northern Pacific had Only moderate effect elsewhere. Great Northern preferred and Hocking Valley each gained 1 and American Hide and Leather preferred 1%. Bonds were firm. The recovery in the market was stopped for a time by the weakness of Later it was resumed when the Southern Railway stocks moved up. American Beet Sugar fell 3, and Colo- rado Fuel, American Locomotive, Inter- borough Metropolitan preferred, and Chesapeake & Ohio 1 to 14%. The last- named recovered fully when Louisville & Nashville rose 2% and Atlantic Coast Line 1%. Pacific Coast jumped 4 points to 100, The buoyancy shown by special stocks revived buying in the general market and there was a pretty general recov- ery to yesterday’s final prices by the weak stocks, such as Reading, Union Pacific and°U.

HIGHER LEVEE PLANNED FOR ST, CHARLES COUNTY FARMS »}Land Owners Anxious to Prevent Continuance of Floods in Cul de Sac Section.

de Sac and Graveyard Slough nejghbor- hoods, along the Missouri River, whose farms ane protected by the M., K. & T. Rajjway dump, will be held at Orchard Farm Saturday afternoon to meet the railway company on a proposition for elevating its dump four feet.
