SHOTS ARE EXCHANGED Woman Pretending to Sell Soap Prepared Way for Getting Child. Special to the Post-Dispatch. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 21.—Marian Rob- erta Bleakley, “‘the Incubator Baby” of the Pike at the St. Louis World’s Fair, who afterward became the most famous infant in the world through the fight for her possession which brought the highest courts of Illinois and Kansas at issue, Was kidnaped in a sensational manner from the home of her mother nere this morning. Two men and a woman were engaged in the kidnaping. They picked up the child and carried her to a waiting bug- gy. There was an exchange of shots, but they went wild. The kidnapers és- caped in the buggy, taking the child with them. The police were notified immediately and a posse was organized and is in pursuit of the kidrapers. The buggy in which the kidnapers es- caped was found at 1 o’clock today at a point two miles from where the child was stolen. It had been hired from a local livery. Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, who was awarded the child by the Federal courts two years ago, lived with her mother, at 1027 Garfield avenue, which is a mile and a half from the business district. She worked downtown as a stenogra- pher. Child Was Guarded. The little girl, who is 5 years old, had been carefully guarded in Topeka and had been constantly attended. This morning, a woman, ostensibly selling soap, appeared at the Bleak- Jey home. She soon left ard a half hour ‘ater a buggy in which were two men and the same woman, appeared in front of was playing with a young man of the neighborhood in whose charge she nad been left. As the ‘kidnaper ran toward her, the young man attempted to interfere. The kidnaper shot at him but missed. He then knocked the boy down with his revolver, carried the child to the buggy and drove. Pursuer Beaten Off. The young man who was in charge of the child today was Clarence Belknap of Jackson, Tenn., a cousin of Mrs. Bleak- ley, who is visiting at her home. After he had been struck down he recovered sufficiently to follow the buggy and caught on the rear of .he vehicle, but was beaten Off. The kidnapers lashed their horse to a gallop and drove west of Tenth avenue, and it is supposed, headed for some small station west of Topeka, where they expect to board a westbound train. Warrants were sworn out for John Doe, Richafd Roe and Jane Doe and placed in the hands of the Sheriff's force. All the railroad stations in the vi- cinity of Topeka were notified and a second posse in automobiles left for the West. Mrs. Bleakley was at work in a downtown office when the kidnaping occurred and within a few minutes after she had been notified by tele- phone of the affair, she personally was aiding in the search. The Bleak- ley home is located on the west side in one of the principal residence sec- tions. A month ago a strange woman visited the newspaper offices making inquiries about the whereabouts of Mrs. Bleak- ley. She said she was a friend of the family, but it is supposed that her busi- ness then was to locate the little girl. House Was Watched. Mrs. Bleakley, the mother of the child, said this afternoon: ‘‘There have been detectives and alleged friends hanging around the house all of the time and I have feared that such a thing would happen. Six weeks ago I got, wind of almost the same thing as happened to- day, but was able to stop it and break up the plans. “At times I have thought that some of the most prominent people in ‘Topeka were in league with them in order to take Marian from the State. I have an idea who they are and I have confidence in the officers’ ability to catch them.” ’ Clarence Belknap was only able to give a partial description of the kid- napers. He said that the man with whom he fought for possession of the child was large and had a black mous- tache. The second man was smaller and wore a gray moustache. He could give no description of the woman. Baby’s Stofmy Career, Marian Bleakley has had a stormy career. She was born in a hospital at St. Louis and was placed in one of the incubators shown at the exposition there. While there, she was formally adopted by Mrs. James G.

Grace Van Studdiford, comic opera ey star, now singing at Delmar Garden : filed suit at Clayton Saturday afterncon for divorce from Charlie Van Studdi- | ford, member of an old St. Louis fam- | ily. Her petition says that they were mar- ' ried in Chicago April 27, i89% and that! they separated in May, 1908. Her only allegation is that her husband deserted her and has absented himself from her for more than a year. In speaking of her determination to seek a legal separation, Mrs. Van Stud- diford wept. She said that she had hes- itated a long time, but that at lasi she had made up her mind that she and her husband had come to the parting of the ways. Sang Unusually Well. | The’ grief in the opera singer’s heart over the suit was not apparent in her demeanor during the presentation of “The Bohemian Girl’’ at Delmar. Her beautiful voice was as clear and spark- ling as ever, her vivacity and apparent gaiety so marked that her admirers de- clared they had never seen her in better “form.” How deceptive her manner was became apparent after the curtain was: rung | down and she had a final consultation | with her lawyer. group of friends in the office at the garden, her eyes were full of tears and as she spoke of the suit she burst into sobs. will not contest the. suit. They have known for years that his’ wife paid many of his bills, a large part of her income being spent in that way.

Satur- day for a business tour of Northern [I)- linois towns. Mrs. Van Studdiford is living as a ten- ant on the St. Louis County estate, At- lasta Place, which she formerly owned. She declined to discuss the divorce re- port Saturday. Have Lived Apart. Friends of the Van Studdifords have kuown that for more than a year they have not been in domestic accord. They have lived apart. Though an apparent explanation of this was Van Studdiford’s employment as a salesman required him to be away from home most of ‘the time, those who knew, understood that the Van Studdi- fords practically were separated and that there was little“chance for a recon- ciliation. The Van Studdiford Romance. The wooing of the beautiful Gracia Quive by Charlie Van Studdiford was romantie and spectacular. It was across the footlights that Van Studdiford, then one of the rich men in St. Louis, caught his first glimpse of the fair Grecia. She was singing a lead- ing part in a Bostonians production at a St. Louis theater. Fascinated by the charming young singer, Van Studdiford followed her about the country through an entire season. He occupied a box at every per- formance in which she appeared, and he was lavish with his gifts. At the end of every act and at the climax of every lyric he would send big bunches of flowers across the footlights to her and it was no uncommon occur- rence for the singer to find a diamond rings and sunbursts hidden in the heart of a bouquet of American beauty roses. So persistent was the wooer that at the end of the season Miss Quive surren- dered and became Mrs. Van Studdiford. The doors of St. Louls society were thrown open to her because of the stand- ing of her husband’s family and of her own beauty and talents. The Van Studdifords bought a beau- tiful home on Maryland avenue and en- tertained lavishly. Fortune Feels Drain. The Van Studdifard patrimony rapidly dwindled. From a home to a flat went the still devoted pair, and receptions became less frequent. Five years ago, to retrieve her hus- band’s fortunes, Mrs. Van Studdiford returned to the stage. As a vaudeville and opera star she received a large sal- ary and in two years she had made enough money to again retire. She built a beautiful »me near Clayton, St. Louis County, and christened it ‘“Atlasta Place.”’ Lavish expenditures again impover- ished her and she was forced to se!l the home after living in it a year. She re- turned to the stage and her husband, after filing a voluntary petition in bank- ruptey, became traveling salesman for a coffee company.

BURGESS WEDDED SECRETLY AT 1 Missouri Jurist Weds Friend of His Youth in Los An- geles, Cal. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOS NGELES, Au 21.—In the midst of the hurly burly incident to Elks’ Carnival week in July, the 10,000 Missourians in this city failed to notice in th® prosaic list of marriage licenses printed on July 18 the names of Judge Gavon D. Burgess of the Supreme Court of Missouri to May Berger, 810 South Grand avenue, Los Angeles. And there was a romance about the marriage, too—one as pretty and dell- cious as ever appeared in story book. This is the way it is related: Judge Burgess came to California during the week of the Elks’ Grand Lodge reunion. Sedate and dignified, he did not mingle readily with the struggling crowds which thronged the streets and passed the days in leisurely gazing into the shop windows. One day as a garish procession went by, he was jostled against the window of a book store and, leaning on his stick, stopped to look at the books. He recognized a rare old volume which he had long wished to possess, and went in and purchased it. Knew Her as Little Girl. Years were quickly bridged in the instant in which he gazed into the face of the woman who looked at him across the tiers of books on the table, and he recognized a little Kentucky girl whom he had left back in Fleming County. ' The woman’ was Miss Berger, who owned the shop. Judge Burgess had known and admired her in Kentucky when she was a little girl, but she had early come West and he had lost sight of her. It did not take long to renew acquaintance. The Judge called at Miss Berger’s home. He stayed to tea and two days later they were married and are now. passing their honeymoon here. They have been to Catalina Island. The Judge announces today that he will return to Missouri with his bride about Sept 10. Surprise in Jefferson City.

IN PLANNING TRACTION COUP . United Railways Attorney Meets Party in Fastnesses of Virginia Mountains. Festus J. Wade, Julius S. Walsh and Morton Jourdan are at the Homestead Hotel, Hot Springs, Va., and James Campbell is said to be there, all at-. tending a secret «onference. A telegram to the Fost-Dispatch says they are discussing means of obtaining control of the United Railways. Mr. Walsh said over the bng-distance telephone that he did not know why the others were there, but that he was there for a rest and ‘or medical treatment. He said that, as far as he knew, there was no conference being held about the Unit- ed Railways and that he couldn’t speak for the other three, but that he had not been in conference since going to Hot Springs. Wade, Walsh and Campbell, the dis- patch to the Post-Dispatch says, have been at Hot Springs for several days. They telegraphed for Morton . Jourdan, who went in response to the summons. Following Jourdan'’s appearance on the scene, the message says, the quar- tet of financiers were hidden away in the mountains, visible to no one for a stretch of 48 hours. Even before the-ar- rival of Jourdan the other St. Louis- ans maintained tho greatest reticénce, rarely sbeing seen about the hotel atid when they were seen it was only on occasional trips to the telegraph office, All Absent From St. Louis. The fact that the men named are in Hot Springs was verified by inquiry at their St. Louis offices. At the Mer- cantile Trust Company, of which Fes- tus J. Wade its president, it was said he was at the Homestead Hotel in Hot Springs. A similar reply was given at the Mississippi Valley Trust Com- pany when it was asked where Julius S. Walsh, president of the board, could be located. Morton Jourdan is attorney for the United Railways. It was said at his office he was at the same place. At James Campbell's office in the Com- monwealth Building «tt was sald that Mr. Campbell left the Plaza Hotel in New York two weeks ago for an auto- mobile trip and that his present where- abouts were not known. In St. Louis financial circles it was said the presence of the four St. Louls.- ans in a secret conference at Hot Springs was indicative of a project on the part of the three bankers there to take over the United Railways. | e 5% Floreat Louis. > = > oe F a £22 .

The fight for the possession of the baby was fought through the state courts and the Supreme Court finally awarded the custody to Mrs. Bleakley. Mrs. Barclay then instituted a suit in the Federal Court for the possession of the child, but was again defeated. Signed Away by Mother. Bitter litigation over the possession ef the child, extending over several) years, grew out of the claim that two babies at the Incubator exhibit on the “Pike” at St. Louis had been mixed. Two girl babies arrived at the incu- bator at about the same time. The name of one was given as Edith Stanley and the other as Emily Bleakley. One of the babies died. Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley of Lawrence, Kan., was the mother of the Bleakley infant, born at a St: Louis hospital. The child was so ‘qmail and weak that there was doubt whether she would live. She was placed in an incubator on the “Pike” in the hope of saving her life. Mrs. Bleakley was told that her baby had died. The child who sur- vived was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. James G. Barclay of Moline, Ill. Mrs. Bleakley signeé papers giving her consent as mother, but says that she chought she was signing away a waif, the child of another woman, as an ac- commodation. Even the Courts Differ. She returned to her home in Kansas, put a conviction grew upon her that the other child had died and that she had unintentionally given away her own child. She went to St. Louls and her investigation strengthened her convic- tien. She went to Moline and asked for her child. The Barclays had become ueepity attached to the child and would not give ber UP. Mrs. Bleakiey instituted habeas corpus proceedings and a long, bitter struggle ensued in the courts, whic. finally plunged the highest courts of the two states into onflict. On the same evi- dence the Illinois courts decided one way and the Kansas courts another. The Illinois courts said the Barclays were entitled to the child. The Kansas courts awarded the child to Mrs. Bleak- ley. 3 State's Juriadiction. The last decision in Illinois was by the Appellate Court. It awarded the chilé to the Barclays, but the jurisdic- tion of the court did not extend be- yond the borders of Tilinois, while the child was then in the custody of Mrs. Bleakley in Kansas. The last word in the Kanses courts was spoken by the State Supreme Court. HAZEL HILL CATHOLICS TO ORGANIZE A NEW PARISH Will Meet Sunday Afternoon to Push Work on a Page : Avenue Church.

AMERICANS MURDERING MOTHER TONGUE, DECLARES EDUCATOR Colleges Turning Out Actual Illit- erates, Says President of. . Brown University. CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., Aug. 21.—That the American people are murdering their mothe: tongue and one of the great Opportunities for reform at the present time is to teach them the English ian- guage, was the opinion expressed here by President Faunce of Brown Univer- Sity. He did not spare American col- leges in his arraignment and deciared they are turning out an alarming pro- portion of actual illiterates. ‘I should like,” he said “to see the colleges of the country join in an effort to induce the American people to write and speak the English tongue decently. The colleges are not doing it now. Many of our college seniors cannot write a decent business letter. We A'mericans should tink our minds and hearts and hands in an effort to preserve this moth- er tongue, which is out definite intel- lectua] heritage.’’ WALKS THROUGH GLASS DOOR She Did Not Know There Was Anything in the Way. An unidentified woman, apparently about 4 years old, dressed in black, walked through a plate glass door at the Merchants-Laclede Bank at 8:30 a. m. Saturday, broke the door to frag- ments and remarked as she hurried away, “My, my; I didn’t know there was a door there.” The glase door was 6 by 2% feet. It opened into the corridor of the Mer- chants-Laciede Building. After she had telephoned the woman walked against the door. Several attaches of the bank ran to her, but she said she was not hurt and left the building. ————— The Post-Dispatch t the oaly evening sewspaper in St. Louis that receives or publishes news gathered by the Axsocinted Press.

Though further precautions were taken Saturday to prevent Merchants’ Exchange quotations from being fur- nished to ‘‘wire houses’’ not affiliated with the exchange, these houses were still receiving the quotations in some mysterious Way. When it was learned that the quoata- tions were still. being furnished to the wire houses, after curtains had been put on the Merchants’ Exchange build- ing to cut off all possible view of the dials and boards from the Bierce Build- ing, a second inspection of the Mer- chants’ Exchange Hall was made and it was found that one pane of glass, back of the rostrum was stil] unshield- ed. This was covered and it was thought that the leak had been effectually stopped. When the market opened Saturday all of the wire houses were ready for busi- ness as usual, and their service of quo- tations on the local and Chicago markets was uninterrupted. It is known that these quotations could be obtainea only from the dials and boards of the Exchange, but how fhis is being done has not been learned. Telephones in and around the Ex- change building are being closely watched in an effort to find the leak. CAULFIELD ALLOWS SALOONS 208 1-2 HOURS MORE A YEAR Another Lift in the Lid Permitted by Excise Commissioner. Under the latest order of Excise Com- missioner Caulfleld saloon keepers will have 208% hours more time a year which they can spend lawfully in their saloons than they have had during the last four years. The order consists of an allowance of 15 minutes before the time of opening and 15 minutes after the time of closing for the saloon keepers to prepare for their trade and to clean up, and also an hour between 9 a. m. and 10 a. m. Sunday for a general clean- ing up. ‘I do not intend to torture the saloon keepers,’ said Mr. Caulfield Saturday, “and this order is made simply to make it easier for them to comply with the law. When they have no longer the ex- cuse that they opened on Sunday to clean up their places, the violaters of the law will be held more strictly.” DEMAND FOR HUDSON-FULTON STAMPS EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Heavy de- mands for the Hudson-Fulton co-memo- rial stamps are now anticipated by the Postoffice Department, and postmasters throughout the country have been noti- fied that the Department may find it impossible to expedite requisitions for these stamps. The special stamp will be issued in sheets of 60 instead of 100, the reguia- tion number, and all requisitions must be for @ or a multiple of that number. The Department has arranged to fill requisitions three days after they are received, but if the orders are heavy, it will be impossible to fill them so promptly.

AMATEUR TITLt OR TEN MILES Hearne Takes AutoChampion- ship by Covering Distance in 9:44 3-10. —_—_— 300 MILES FOR A CUP Trophy Weighing 500 Pounds and 8% Feet High Is Offered. ee INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEED- WAY, Ind., Aug. 21.—Kincaid, in a’ Na- tional, won the opening event of a 16- mile free-for-all handicap of the third and final day of the inaugural automo- bile racing meet at the hew Indianapolis Motor Speedway today in 14m. 23 5-10s. /The winner had a handicap of one min- ute, but had a hard battle to defeat Ralph de Palma in a Fiat, who started from scratch. The Fiat was second and a Marmon, with Stillman at the wheel, finished third. It was estimated that there were at lest 20,000 people in the two big. stands. Every available bit of space was filled and the automobiles were parked for more than half a mile along the home- stretch. Before the first regular event, Old- field, Christie and Zengel made on- slaughts on the record for a kilometer, but nothing sensational resulted. Old- field, driving a Benz, covered the dis- tance in :26 2-10. Christie’s freak racer made it in :28 7-10 and Zengel’s time was :29 9-10. Ed Hearne, a Chicago Board of Trade man, won the amateur championship of America in a 10-mile race. Ryall, in a Buick, gave Hearne a battle royal in the first fleve miles, but dropped back toward the finish, W. W. Cameron, in a Stearns, and Arthur W. Greiner, in a Thomas, started, but did not finish one lap. The time was 9:44 3-10. 500 Pound Cup Offered. The program scheduled for today, which promised to be the most exciting of the meet, will end with the 300- mile race for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway cup, which is said _ to be the most valuable trophy ever offered for an automobile race. It is made of silver, the coin value of which is said to be $5000. It is 8% feet high and weighs 500 pounds. This race will bring together a splendid field of racing drivers. WASHING WINDOW, WOMAN FALLS 35 FEET T0 CELLAR Weight of Her Body. Broke the Door Leading to the Basement. Mrs. Mary Hamilton, @ years old, fell from a second story window at the rear of her home, 312 North Twenty- first street, and was seriously injured at 10:3 a. m. Saturday. Mrs. Hamilton was washing a window and was seated on the window ledge, facing into the room. In reaching up on the outside to wash the exterior of the pane, she lost her balance and fell 3% feet, striking a cellar door. The weight of her body broke in the door and she plunged through to the base- ment. Dr. H. G. Niebruegge of 200 Salis- bury street wus called by neighbors. He said that Mrs. Hamilton probably was suffering from a fractured skull and ordered her rermioved to the Mullan- phy Hospital. Her condition was critical. AUTO SPEEDERS LOOK ALIKE TO JUDGE REFUSING PLEA Imposes Fine Despite the Request of Assistant City Attor- ney Levy. When Charles L. Marquis of 5327 Wa- terman avenue was arraigned in the Dayton Street Police Court Saturday on a charge of speeding, Assistant City Attorney Levy asked that the case be dismissed on payment of costs. “No, I will not make fish of one and flesh of another,’’ said Acting Judge Sanders. “I will hear the evidence.”’ Policeman Ferguson testified that Marquis ran his machine 30 miles an hour and the Judge fined Marquis $10. The next two cases on the docket were those of Milton Whitton and Bert Rus- sell, also accused of speeding. “T will enter nolle prosequis in these two cases,” said Levy. Since Judge Pollard went to Europe. Levy has frequently requested that only costs be assessed against automobile speeders. Acting Judge Riechmann sev- éral times granted these requests, but Judge Sanders has refused to do so. CIVIC MEDAL FOR BABIES PORTSMOUTH, Va., Aug. 21.—Be- Cause reports on births have not been made promptly, the Mayor has deciared nis intention to offer on the part of the city a silver medal bearing the name and date of birth of every child born.

Saturday turn- ed up the first shovel foot of dirt on the site of the New Municipal Courts Building opposite the City Hall. A steel shovel presented by the Simmons Hardware Company for the occasion was used. It bears an aluminum plate on which are tslecsibed the names of Mayor Kreismann, President Reber of the Board of Public Improvements, Is- aac Taylor, the architect, and C. L. Gray, the builder. Mr. Reber turned up the second shovel of dirt. The crowd laughed when he spilled rmiost of it, for the Mayor had thrown dirt to one side like a veteran trench-digger. Then Mayor Kreismann called on Comptroller Taussig as the “man who has the money for all this,” and Mr. Taussig managed to spill all the dirt on the shovel. The shovel was put into the ground 20 feet south of the City Hall building line, on the west curb of Center street. Mayor Kreismann made a short. ad- dress in which he spoke of the great public improvements, of which the Mu- nicipal Courts Building is to be the first. Then Mr. Taylor made a speech, in which he said that ‘‘this building will be the best St. Louis ever had or will have in the next 50 years.”’ ROOSEVELT TOO BUSY AT $I PER WORD TO DROP PICTURE POST CARDS FROM JUNGLES Faunal Naturalist Gets Requests for Tigers’ Claws and Teeth and Souvenir Postals. By Associated Press. NAIROBA, British East Agrica, Aug. 21.—Theodore Roosevelt has received many letters from the United States containing all kinds of requests with which it is impossible for him to com- ply, and which it is equally impossible for him even to answer. He has no one to whora he can dictate his cor- respondence or who does typewriting for him, and he has been obliged to leave the great bulk of gthese letters unanswered. The petitions are of every conceiv- able nature, including reéquests for live wild animals for zoological gar- dens; for skins of dead animals; for large snakes: for birds eggs, for teeth and claws of Hons and tigers (the writers, evidently not knowing that there are no tigers in Africa and that it would utterly spoil the value of any specimen, whether for’ scien- tific or other purposes, to mutilate it by taking out the ‘claws and teeth) requests for plants, for picture post cards, which are naturally not to be found in the African wilderness, and for all kinds of other obpects, includ- ing even pickled meat and dried meat of game, Not only is it impossible for such requests to be granted, but it is im- possible for Col. Roosevelt even to attempt to answer the letters making them. The time he has for writing. is more than occupied by the work he does fur a New York magazine. DR.

WOMAN TAKES CAREFUL AIM, FIRES TWICE AT BURGLAR Does Not Scream and Policeman Doesn’t Find It Out for Hours. Mrs. Isabella Nightman of #10 Eads avenue leaned from a side window of her home at 2 a. m. Saturday and aft- er taking careful aim fired two shots from a revolver af @ burglar who was trying to pry open a Goor leading into ker residence. Several hours later a policeman wan- dered up te the Nightman home and wanted to know what the shooting was about. “I heard @ noise at the side boor,”’ , Nip lt *" ff oe fy Fisherman Sends Money and Affi- davit to Post-Dispatch to Prove Story. Some mussels have pearis in their shells which may be turned into money} by the finder. Cash assets were taken from a mussel shell tound by James R. Smith, a pearl fisher on the Illinois Riv- er about three miles above Grafton. Smith found a $1 silver certificate, Unit- ed States money in good standing, tight- ly clasped between the mussel’s shelly lips. The dollar bill was sent to the Post- Dispatch office Saturday, together with an affidavit sworn to by Smith before W. T. Byrnes, notary public, editor of the Grafton News, to the effect that he found the money in a mussel shell. It cannot be said that the money ifs in a good state of preservation, though it has been doctored up with oiled tissue paper, and presents the aspect of a prizefighter who, though considerably marked, is still in the ring. This mussel knew how to hold onto money when it got it, thus setting an excellent example of thrift. True, it might have deposited the money in af bank—the Sand Bank—but it enough to be wary of such institutions, nese by the spring freshets. Besides, the rate of interest paid by the Sand Bank, is not alluring. This mussel kept ite money on its person, thus becoming a shining example to its fellows, who were floating about in a stranded condition. Bereft of its fortune by the hand of man, the thrifty mussel now, alas! is merely as other mussels, and ere long its shell wil! go through the button factory and be employed in helping to hold up the flannel trousers of a spendthrift. Such is fate! SEA LION PULLS HORSE AND Two Thousand Pounder Now Is in His Element With Short Leading - Cord on His Neck. PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 21.—Some- where in Alsea Bay swims a giant sea lion with eight feet of hitching rope at- tached to its neck. Yesterday the huge mammal, tied to a buggy by its captor, J.

The game between the girls was not the only feature that made the after- noon most entertaining for the hundreds in the grand stand. . Every number of the program was enthusiastically ap- plauded. The girl ballplayers created a sensa- tion when they first appeared on the grounds. They -:narched through the grand stand single file sand were greet- ed with a burst of checrs. Costumes Were Striking. The costumes were exceedingly chic. The young women from Suburban Gar- den appeared in black plush knicker- bockers and white shirtwaists, on which was a large letter “S.”"’ The girls from the ‘‘Follies of the Dcey’’ company wore shirtwaists and vellow silk’ Knicker- bockers. They were without other head- gear than their elaborate coiffures. | Just before he game the giris were introduced by teams. They bowed and smiled and looked like just what they were—pretty cheruses who had won in- stant favor with thelr audiences. The line-up of the two teams fncluded: Viol-. Colleps, Tooisie i‘arks, Cora Kettner, Grace Kettner, Reha Ashner, Edna Ash vr, Lulu Vasscrman, Hazel Smith and May Day of Suburban Gar- den, Ruth Sullivan, Anna Propp, Gertrude Haves, Lydia Arnold. Dorris Cherie, Claru Gibson, Mattie Sullivan, Teddle Stanley and Maggie Clark of the ‘'Fol- lies of the Day” company. Pitcehinxg Was Unusgal. The American Theater girls went to bat first. Sol Oppenheimer umpired. The pitcher was as iikely to hit the earth between the pitcher's box and the home plate or to throw the ball seven er eight feet to the side of the plate as she was to throw it any- where else. That didn’t make any dif- ference to the batters. As soon as the ball was anywhere within 30 feet of them they struck at it. If the ball came elose enough to be hit with the bat, that was a strike. If lit wasn’t close enough to be hit Um- pire Oppenheimer didn’t observe the tremendous swings of the at and called ‘‘ball two’ or “ball four,” as the case might be, and the crowd howled with amusement. It was a comedy in itself to see Tootsie Marks, catcher for the Subur- ban Garden girls, with a huge catcher’s mask over her pretty face. It also was comical to observe the diminutiveness of petite Cora Kettner on first base. Sometimes There Was a Hit. Once in a while—it. usually was an accident and so startled the batter that she didn’t know what to do—the ball and bat met and the ball went out inte the air over the diamond. Then there Was some yelling. Usually the bases were full of girls who had been started around the diamond on bases on balls. As soon as a bal! was struck by a bat- ter there were several runs piled up. And the crowd laughed until tears came. Of course. combs were sprinkled over the diamond and those elaborate coif- fures which had given the two teams such a distinguished appearance when they went on the field were sadly mussed by the time the first inning was over with five runs to the credit of the American Theater gir!s. Final Score, & to 5. The Suburban Garden girls went to bat determined to wrest the game from their adversaries and the playing grew faster, more furious, more confused and more hilarious than ever. Umpftre Op- penheimer was quite as generous ip the Wav he ruled on strikes and balis as he had been in the beginning. The Sub- urban Gardén girls didn’t win the game, but they tied it, the final score of the lively one-inning contest being 5 to 5, in facor of everybody. The balloon ascension followed the game between the girls. The get-away {of the big gas-bag was a complete suc- cess in every particular but one. “Bud” positively refused to go up. “Bud” stood around and watched the rreparations for the flight with very evi- dent interest, but did not get nearer the balloon basket than a dozen feet. Many people thought, however, he was dressed for an ascension.\ He wore a silk hat, a fawn-colored frock coat and russet leather riding leggins. When the balloon was all ready to go up and was being stripped of its sandbag Weights, “Bud” was seized by several nen. He struggied with them and pulled away toward the grand stand, thinking he could lose himself in the crowd there. The men desisted in their efforts when they found “Bud’’ was not the cele- brated St. Louis eeronaut, but was a.

BY ANDREW DREW. Miss Ethel Weir, an 18-year-old show girl of the Delmar Garden Compeny, who ascended in the University City at American League Park, Friday after- noon with Capt. John Berry and the writer, for what was intended to be a short trip to the city limits, passed three thrilling hours in a runaway bal- loon. : The rip cord and the valve cord be came entangled. Any attempt to stop the balloon by the valve c-rd as it rose high above the clouds or to bring it dewn before the gas condensed would have been suicidal. There was nothing left for Capt. Berry to do but to let the runaway balloon go as high as it would and to jockey it te a safe land- ing by ballast alone—as hazardous a feat as running a motor car with a broken brake. The balloon first rose to a height of 10,000 feet. Then gas condsensed rapid- ly and she shot downward with increas- ing speed. Bags of sand were cut loose from the basket as it shot downward over a siretch of timber. As the drag rope touched the trees the fall stopped and the balloon moved slowly ahead 300 feet above the ground for a few minutes as if gathering new strength. Attains Altitude of 15,000 Feet. Then it began climbing again into the sky, until it had reached an alti- tude of 15,000 feet—three miles above the earth and. two miles above the clouds. Two hours of skillful use of the bal- last and anchor by Capt. Berry finally brought the balloon to a safe landing near Red Bud, Ill, 42 miles southeast of St. Louis, three hours after the start from St. Louis. The snar) in the rip and valve cords was discovered by Cu.ipt. Berry a few minutes after the balloon got away from the park. Miss Weir wa. rot iold what the trouble was, or the dang~. she was in. But when the balloon had passed the 10,000-foot level, and -ne could not hear she realized that so.aething was wrong. , She did not seem nervous at all and when evasive replies were mecde to her questions about the distance to the ground, she said she knew that some- thing serious had happened. “But there’s ne se worrying,” observed. Miss Weir made the ascension in the place of Miss Grace Van Studdiford. Miss Van Studdiford was unable to she trip and to keep her engagement at Delmar Garden Friday evening. As a result Miss Weir was selected by the Delmar management to take her place. It was understood that Capt. Berry was to bring the balloon down as 800. as the city limits were passed and the open fields offered a good landing pldce. The balloon ascension was the event of the day at the Carnival for the ben- efit of the Post-Dispatch -'ure Milk and Free Ice Fund. It had been announced that besides Miss Van Studdiford, another passen- ger by the name of “Bud’’ was to go up. One of the Suburban players cos- tumed to represent the famous Mr. Do- zier caused much amusement by run- ning away while the balloon was pre- sumably waiting for him. So the start was made with the big crowd laughing. Miss Weir was laugh- ing also, and when ghe stepped into the basket -*~u her hat caught In the ropes she laughed as heartiiy as those around her did and was not nervous in the least. ] Finds'Cords Are Tangied. As the balloon rose easily and gently from the center of the park, Captain Berry climbed up into the load ring above the basket. But the sight of the thousands of upturned facee in the park and the roar of the cheering coming up to us kept Miss Weir and myself from |

John Berry, champton' long-distance aeronaut of America, and Andrew Drew of the Post-Dispatch staff, being safe- ly in the basket, the big bag was re- leased and went sailing away to the West. The crowd cheered and everybody in the grand stand left their seats and rushed to the top of the structure to peer for several minutes at the fast disappearing air craft. “Rube” Got in the Basket. Rube Waddell was in the balloon bas- ke: for a time while it was being gotten ready and there were shouts that he go up, but Waddell thought better ef the ground. He didn’t run away like “Bud” did, but there was no occasion for him to do so, for he was 6n the program to play ball in the game with the actors. The actors-Browns game was short, svappy and almost as lively as the game between the two teams of girls. Ameng the players were: Waddell, Wallace, Stone, Ferris, Criger, Griggs of the Browns. George 8S. Spencer, Wilson Hummel, J Gordon Edwards, King Baget, James Gordon and Milton Stem of Sub- urban Garden. Frank Moulan, Carl Haydn, E. 8. Metcalfe, Royal Cutter, William D.

Honeywell says his balloon, Peoria, was well-filled when he landed and that he could have surpassed the Berry rec- ord if had cared to sail into the rough and inaccessible country beyond Dixon. His only reason for landing, he said, was that he did not desire to alight too far from a railroad. Honeywell's victory was decisive. Al- bert Bond Lambert and James W.

J., Aug. 21.—Troubles never come singly to John Holland Fone, 19 years old, who was the hero of the navy in July, 1907, when he saved the battleship Georgia from being blown up by extinguishing a fire near the maga- zine, losing both ears and portions of his left arm. Soon after recovering from that acci- dent he was stricken with appendicitis and for weeks his life was despaired of and now he is again confined to his home as the result of injuries sustained a few days ago at the camp at Sea Girt, where he was stepped on by a horse. In spite of Fone’s heroism and bis in- juries he has been granted a pension of only $17 a menth. SUFFRAGETTES FOUND ON ROOF GLASGOW, ) show that he was guilty, and the Commis- sioners, with the exception of Mr. Teich- mann, voted to dismiss the charge with- out prejudice to the officer. J. L. Scheve of 3969 Cleveland avenue, who in a letter to the three Republican members of the Police Board, signed himself ‘‘an ardent Republican worker,”’ caused the original charge to be pre- ferred against Taylor, and he appeared at the second trial to aid in the prose- cution. It was alleged that Taylor, who was off duty and accompanying his wife to the heme of her sister, neglected to go to the scene of a street car accident in which a young woman wes killed. As at the first trial, Taylor proved by sev- eral witnesses at the second hearing that from where he was at the time he could not have seen the accident. Sorry Teichmann Dissented, When Col. Laird announced the Board’s finding, Sergt. Taylor ap- proached Commissioner Teichmann and to the verdict. “TI have been on the force for 15 years and this is the first time I have ever appeared before the Board on charges,” seid Taylor. “It will be my last ap- pearance, too.”’ Commissioner Teichmann replied that he bore no ill-feeling toward the of- ficer. Patrolmen E. B. Graves und William Moorman of the Dayton Street District, charged with neglect in having failed to report a resort of which they were said to have had knowledge, were given a hearing. Moorman was acquitted and Graves was reprimanded. 4 Probationary Patrolman Charies Sehneider was dropped from the rolls for unbecoming conduct.

BY ANDREW DREW. Miss Ethel Weir, an 18-year-old show girl of the Delmar Garden Company, who ascended in the University City at American League Park, Friday after- noon with Capt. John Berry and the writer, for What was intended to be a short trip to the city limits, passed three thrilling hours in a runaway bal- loon. The rip cord and the valve cord bee came entangled. Any attempt to stop the balloon by the valve e-rd as it rose high above the clouds or to bring it down before the gas condensed would have been suicidal. There was nothing left for Capt. Berry to do but to let the runaway balloon go as high as it would and to jockey it te a safe land- ing by ballast alone—as hazardous a feat as running a motor. car with a broken brake. The balloon first rose to a height of 10,000 feet. Then gas condsensed rapid- ly and she shot downward with increas- ing speed. Bags of sand were cut loose from the basket as it shot downward over a stretch of timber. As the drag rope touched the trees the fall stopped and the balloon moved slowly ahead 300 feet above the ground for a few minutes as if gathering new strength. Attains Altitude eof 15,000 Feet. Then it began climbing again into the sky, until it had reached an alti- tude of 15,000 feet—three miles above the earth and two miles above the clouds. Two hours of skillful use of the bal- last and anchor by Capt. Berry finally brought the balloon to a safe landing near Red Bud, Ill, 42 miles southeast of St. Louis, three hours after the start from St. Louis. The snar] in the rip and valve cords was discovered by Capt. Berry a few minutes after the balloon got away from the park. Miss Weir wa. rot told what the trouble was, or the dang~ she was in. But when the balloon had passed the 10,000-foot level, and -ne could not hear she resliged that so.aething was wrong. She did not seem nervous at all and when evasive replies were mcde to her questions about the distance to the thing serious had happened. “But ‘there’s ne se worrying,’’ observed. Miss Weir made the ascension in the place of Miss Grace Van Studdiford. Miss Van S8tuddiford was unable _ to she trip and to keep her engagement at Delmar Garden Friday evening. As a result Miss Weir was selected by the Delmar management to take her place. It was understood that Capt. Berry was to bring the balloon down as 800. as the city limits were passed and the open fields offered a good landing place. The balloon ascension was the event of the day at the Carnival for che ben- efit of the Posi-Dispatch -’ure Milk and Free Ice Fund. It had been announced that besides Miss Van Studdiford, another passen- ger by the name or “Bud’’ was to go] up. One of the Suburban players cos- tumed to represent the famous Mr. Do- zier caused much amusement by run- ning away while the balloon was pre- sumably waiting for him. So the start was made with the big crowd laughing. Miss Weir was laugh- ing also, and when ghe stepped into the basket her hat caught in the ropes she laughed as heartiiy as those around her did and was not nervous in the least. Finds'Cords Are Tangled. As the balloon rose easily and gently from the center of the park, Captain Berry climbed up into the load ring above the basket. But the sight of the thousands of upturned facee in the park and the roar of the cheering coming up to us kept Miss Weir and myself from | selina © |

The crowd cheered and everybody in the grand stand left their seats and rushed to the top of the structure to peer for several minutes at the fast disappearing air craft. “Rube” Got in the Basket. Rube Waddell was in the balloon bas- ke. for a time while it was being gotten ready and there were shouts that he go up, but Waddell thought better ef the ground. He didn’t run away like “Bud” did, but there was no occasion for him to do so, for he was 6n the program to play ball in the game with the actors. The actors-Browns game was short, svuappy and almost as lively as the game between the two teams of girls. Ameng the players were: Waddell, Wallace, Stone, Ferris, Criger, Griggs of the Browns. George 8. Spencer, Wilson Hummel, Gordon Edwards, King Baggot, James Gordon and Milton Stet of Sub- urban Garden. Frank Moulan, Carl Haydn, E. §. Metcalfe, Royal Cutter, William D.

couldn't play real on : watching him. of the basket looking down until we could no longer make out the people.in the streets and the city blocks seemed no jarger than an oblong one inch by two. “IT think I will sit down,” said Miss Weir. As she settled herself on a pile of sandbags in one corner of the bas- ket I glanced up at Captain Berry. He was sitting on the load ring wiggling the white and red cords—the one the valve cord and the other the rip cord. Up, in the appendix of the balloon I could see that the two cords were badly snarled. Fascinated by the sight I watched him trving to persuade my- self that in another minute or so he would have the snarl unravelled. Thery he looked down at me, shook his head and put the ends of the cords in their little pockets on. the load ring The significance of what had occurred was this: The valve cord is used to let out a small portion of the gas little by little, in order to keep the balloon fro: ‘rising too high when the sun expands the gas, and the rip cord ‘8 used only when the balloon has touched the ground and you wish to let all the gas eut at once. Because of the snarl in the two cords it was impossible to pull the valve cord without pulling the rip cord, collapsing the bag in midfair and shooting the basket with the three of us to the ground. . I looked at Miss Weir. She had been arranging her hat when Capt. Berry had nodded to me and, fortunately, was not aware that anything was wrong. Capt. Berry and myself were hoping that the sun would not send the balloon too high and that we might be able to come down in a half hour or so by the condensing of the. gas. Shoot Upward to 6000 Feet. But the sun did expand the gas. We kept on rising and rising fast. A piece of paper I dropped over the side sur- reptitiously, dropped with alarming rapidity. Capt. Berry had the aneroid in his pocket, but I was afraid to ask him for it for fear that Miss Weir would ask to see it and then realize how high we were. But the captain signaled me with his fingers that we were 6000 feet high 20 minutes after we had left the park. At the 7000-foot level Miss Weir said that she could hardly hear and askeu if we weren't goinz too high, and why we didn't bring the balloon down low- er. Capt. Berry explained that he didn’t want to let out any gas, as he wished to make a sure landing. Miss Weir, who had never been up in a balloon before and knew nothing

Wherever there were any hon- ors to divide everybody got his share at the carnival. The program concluded with a vocal concert in which several of Delmar Garden’s sweetest singers were heard. Miss Ann Tasker, prima donna of the Delmar musical theater sang twice. Miss Bernice Mershon sang “‘O, Prom- iseé Me.” Miss Dorothy Webb sang “You Can’t Guess What He Wrote on My Slate.” Frank Moulan had to sing “Let’s Take One More Little Drink.” Flowers for Singers. Great bouquets of beautiful flowers were presented to each of the singers.

SUFFRAGETTES FOUND ON ROOF GLASGOW, Aug. 2.—Three_ rain- soaked and benumbed but still valiant suffragettes were dislodged from the roof of St. Andrew's Hall, where the Earl of Crewe, Secretary of State for the Colonies, spoke last night.

Surmised peeeiiane Was Being Brought to Bear in ~ His Behalf. 3O0ARD-SITS TEN HOURS ree Soliciting Influence While Un- der Charges Held a Viola- tion of Manual. When a police sergeant does not know}’ ithat ‘an attempt has been made to | bring pressure to bear in his behalf he ‘should not guess that such a thing has been done. yf During a session of the Board of Po- hee Commissioners which lasted more ‘than ten hours, Sergt. David Powers} was reduced to the rank of patrolman for making such a guess. Powers was accused of having caused an unnetessary arrest, and while his case was pending President Laird of the Police Board received a letter from Charles Niedringhaus of 1001 Franklin avenue interceding for the Sergeant. As it is a violation of the manual for a policeman to solicit influence while under charges, Powers was ordered to make a written report concerning Mr. Niedringhaus’ letter. In the report Pow- ers acknowledged that he knew the letter had been penned. An additional charge of conduct unbecoming an of- ficer was lodged against him. At his hearing Friday night, Powers told the Board he did not know Mr. Niedringhaus had written a@ letter, and when he was confronted with his writ- ten report he found himself between two fires. He,was “sweated” by Vice-Pres- ident Bland, but he stuck by his verbal statement that he knew nothing of the letter. Mr. Niedringhaus also testified that Powers was ignorant of the coni- munication. Board Thought Guess Peculiar. Thée Board thought it rather peculiar that Powers had made such a good gued@s in his written report and reduced him. The original charge against Powers was that he ordered Patrolman Eminger to arrest Mrs. Sophia Schlink of 660 Tower Grove avenue for choppiug down a peach tree belonging to her neighbor, Joseph Patton, of 668 Tower Grove ava- nue. It developed that the tree was on the property of Mrs. Schlink, and that she should not have been arrested for what she had done. ‘Mrs. Schlink is unable to speak En- glish, and Lieut. Hess of the Central District interpreted her testimony. Sergt. Taylor Exonerated. Additional testimony in the cgse of Sergt. Samuel R. Taylor, who several weeks ago was exonerated of the charge of neglecting police duty, failed t) show that he was guilty, and the Commis- sioners, with the exception of Mr. Teich- mann, voted to dismiss the charge with- out prejudice to the officer. J. L. Scheve of 3969 Cleveland avenue, who in a letter to the three Republican members of the Police Board, signed himself ‘‘an ardent, Republican worker,”’ caused the original charge to be pre- ferred against Taylor, and he appeared at the second trial to ajd in the prose- cution. It was alleged that Taylor, who was off duty and accompanying his wife to the home of her sister, neglected to go to the scene of a street car accident in which a young woman was killed. As at the first trial, Taylor proved by sev- eral witnesses at the second hearing that from where he was at the time he could not have seen the accident. Sorry Teichmana Dissented, When Col. Laird announced the Board’s finding, Sergt. Taylor ap- proached Commissioner Teichmann and expressed regret that he had dissented to the verdict. “I have been on the force for 16 years and this is the first time I have ever appeared before the Board on charg |seid Taylor. “It will be my last ap- pearance, too.”’ Commissioner Teichmann replied that he bore no ill-feeling toward the of- ficer. Patrolmen E. B. Graves und William Moorman of the Dayton Street District, charged with neglect in having falled to report a resort of which they were said to have had knowledge, were given a hearing. Moorman was acquitted and Graves was reprimanded. / Probationary Patrolman Charlies Schneider was dropped from the rolls for unbecoming conduct. me. «

ENTHRALLED BY THE ART IMPULSE. Mr. William Homer Leavitt makes public the cause of his domestic tribulations. Mrs. Leavitt did not sympathize with the art impulse which enthralls him. “She wanted our lives to center around the commonplace of home,” he says. “My ambition was more lofty. Art calied me to Eu- rope. I was in the grip of a master passion to paint a great picture.” The excuse is satisfactory; the more so be- cause neither husband nor wife can be blamed. sch saw the thing from his, her, point of view and each was right. There is much virtue in the point of view. Once assimilate the philosophy of the point of view and anybody can see that everybody is all right. Let us congratulate art, for Mr. Leavitt is go- ing to do great things now. While in Europe he made studies of ; great number oi figures “which are to be incorporated in the painting I am now about to begin.” It’s going to be a corker. In one of Besant & Rice’s novels which peo- ple over 50 will probably remember, there is a sweet old gentleman who, in his earliest youth discovered that hc was enthralled by the art im- pulse. He wanted to paint a great picture. He would paint a great picture. So he fitted up a studio with easels and rugs and curios, bought a lot of brushes and paints and whatever else is needed ‘in the production of a great picture. Day after day he entered the studio and sat down, enthralled, to think, think of his great picture. Weeks passed, months,‘ years, and still he kept the studio with gll its, raw material of art, and was always going to pa‘nt that great picture. Youth fled, old age crept on, but he never lost his sweetness and loving spirit. He was an un- conquerable optimist to the last, and always, he was going to paint a great picture. We trust Mr. Leavitt is equally thorough in preparation. He has doubtless a ~tudio and an easel and curios and rugs and an artistic tobacco pouch and plenty of cigarette paper, and is growing a pointed beard. It may be, too, he has engaged models to help out where those figures from Europe do not inspire. All is ready. The world watches and waits, breathless. The great picture is incubating.

-—_— -_ rr VACANT LOTS FOR CITY WORKLESS. “A Mother” writes the Post-Dispatch suggest- ing that the vacant lois in and around the city should be used to relieve the needs of men who can not make both ends meet. She is answered by another writer, who claims that idling is un- necessary; that no one who is not icious or hope- lessly incompetent need lack remunerative em- ployment. The truth is, as the news columns show, that a city like St. Louis always has a considerable number of unfortunate persons who are idle through no fault of their own. Helpful charities are always commendable for the relief of this class, and the cultivation of the vacant city and suburban lots is among the best of such charita- ble schemes. There is every reason why St. Louis should be added to the list of cities benefiting by the De- troit plan, inaugurated by the late Gov. Pingree. These cities are Detroit, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D C., Chicago, Cincinnati and Cleve- land. In all of them the plan has been successful in greatly relieving the need of the very poor. When Pingree, then Mayor of Detroit, started the plan in 1894, 430 acres, about 7000 lots, were given for the experiment, staked out, plowed and har- rowed. Nine hundred and forty-five poor fami- lies were given seeds, with lots of from a quarter to half an acre. About nine-tenths of these were well cared for. The estimated value of the crop produced was about $13,000, and the cost to the committee was $3600. In Philadelphia the move- ment began in 1896, and after 11 years of con- tinued success the latest report declares the last year to be the most successful one. Gardens were made by 800 individuals and families. The product was valued at $52,000, an average of $65

| per family, and the number of persons benefited approximated 4000. The cost to the Philadelphia Vacant Lots Cultivation Association was $66 Besides feeding hungry mouths, work of this ‘character is educational and wholesome in Its effect. It teaches people to help themselves, which is the highest form of charity. .»>... ee As to a tacing, after you have heaved with your vocabulary of superla-

A TOWN WITHOUT TAXES. From the Silverton Miner. In 1901 the town of Silverton ac , quired by purchase at $40,000 the then existing waterworks, which were owned by a private company, and near- ly $20,000 additional has since that time been expended by the town‘ to secure additional water supply, extending mains and other improvements, which are now sufficient for a city of 20,000 in- habitants, and the best water in the world. The present income from the water plant is about $10,000, and the cost of maintaining and repairs about $2000 per annum. Although the water rates have been reduced over one-third of the former rates under private ownership and the town makes a saving of $2200 per year in fire hydrant rentals, the earnings from the system have been more than sufficient to pay for all improvements made, operating expense, interest on bonds, sinking fund and a redemption of several thousand dollars worth af bonds. When all bonds are paid off, water rates can be reduced 40 per cent more and still derive an income from the system sufficient to meet all expenses for repairs, pay all running expenses and still have a good margin of prof- its for the city. Present water rates are 2% per cent less than charged by the old company. Silverton has a first-class sewer sys- tem that cost $21,000. The city also runs a Street Sprinkling Department, and owns its teams, sprinkling wagons, etc. The town has no city taxes of any kind, the entire expenses of the city being paid by the profits from the water sys- tem, the electric lights and ordinary li- censes. All the electric light and wa- ter bonds are held in Silverton and the bonds are being rapidly paid off.

VIEWED FROM A DISTANCE. From the New York Sun. Shackleton is beaten. Amundsen is distanced. A greater and more momen- tous voyage of discovery than theirs is abouf to begin. Obeying a request of Gov. Hadley, the president of the Im- migration Association of Missouri is go- ing to take “a flatboat trip down tue Current River into the heart of the Ozarks.’ A mysterious region of noble agricultural possibilities, which con- tains, we believe, most of the surviving Bryan and silver clubs. A country of the unknown and the unterrified. Geo- graphers and politicians will await with equal fervor of interest the fruits of this adventure.

DR. ELIOT’S CRITICS. From Life. There is not s0 very much in Dr. Eliot’s “religion of the future” which does not blend with most of the beliefs of most of his critics. There are a thousand angles from which the same object may be seen and many lines of thought by which approach can be made to the same conclusion. Relig- ious disputes and differences turn a great Geal on the meanings of words and the various ideas that the same words convey to the minds of various people. A man’s retigious opinions can seldom be justly estimated by his state- ment of them. The really accurate (at:J scriptural) way to get at what he he- lieves is to examine his blood and his ‘record. There is plenty of scriptural basking for the opinion that it is muca

Here he - was often flung a dollar, but too fre- quently a good-natured kick would fol- low it. Once a tand of hilarious cow- boys dragged him across the black soi) unti! no respectable ragbag would have stood sponsor for his clothes. The saloon stood on a corner. The hour was 8 o'clock. Homefarers and eutgoers jostied Curly on the narrow stone sidewalk. Between the buildings nessed the stress that had been laid upen his soul. The saloon was small, and in its at- mosphere the odors of meat and drink struggled for the ascendancy. The pig and the cabbage wrestled with hydro- zen and oxygen. Behind the bar Schwe- gel labored with an assista.t whose epidermal pores showed no signs of being obstructed. Hot wienerwurst and sauerkraut were being served to pur- | chasers of beer. «Curly shuffled to the cabinet-maker out of a job. he got his schooner and lunch. “Was you acquainted maybe Heinrich Strauss in Detroit?’ Schwegel. “Did I know Heinrich Strauss?’ re- peated Curly, affectionately. “Why, say, 'Bo, I wish I had a dollar for every game of penuchle me and Heine has played on Sunday afternoons.” More beer and a second plate of steaming food was set before the diplo- mat. And then Curly, knowing to a fluid drachm how far a “con”. game would go, shuffled out into the unpromising street. At length Curly, as he strayed, turned the sharp angle of another lost street and came upon a rollicking band fof stockmen from the outlying ranchés celebrating in the open in front of an ancient wooden hotel. One great roist- erer from the sheep country who had just instigated a movement toward the bar, swept Curly in like a-stray goat with the rest of his flock. The princes of kine and wool hailed him as a new zoological discovery, and uproariously strove to preserve him in thé “afluted alcohol of.their compliments and re- gards. An heur afterward Curly staggered from the hotel barroom dismissed by his fickle friends, whose interest in him ‘had subsided as quickly as it had risen. Full—stoked with alcoholic fuel and cargoed with food, the only question remaining to disturb him was that of shélter and bed. A drizzling, cold Texas rain had be- gun to fall—an endless, lazy, uninter- mittent downfall that lowered the spirits of men and raised a reluctant end of the bar, coughed hollowly and told Schwegel that he was a Detroit It followed as the night the day that mit asked steam from the warm stones of the streets and houses. Thus comes the ‘‘northern” dousing gentle spring and amiable autumn with the chilling sa- lutes and adieux of coming and depart- ing winter. Curly followed his nose down the first tortuous street into which his irrespon- sible feet conducted him. At the lower end of it, on the bank of the serpen- tine stream, he perceived an open gate in a cemented rock wall. Inside he saw campfires and a row of low wood- en sheds built against three sides of the enclosing wall. He entered the en- closure. Under the sheds many horses were champing at their oats and corn. Many wagons and buckboards_ stood about with their teams’ harness thrown carelessly upon the shafts and double- trees. Curly recognized the place as a wagon yard, such as is provide@ by merchants for their out-of-town friends and eustomers. No one was in sight. No doubt the drivers of those wagons were scattered about the town “seeing the elephant and hearing the owl.” In their haste to become patrons of the town dispensaries of mirth and good cheer the last ones to depart must have left the great wooden gate swing- ing open. Curly had satisfied the hunger of an anaconda and the thirst of a camel, $0 he was neither in the mood nor the con- dition of an explorer. He zigzagged his way to the first wagon that his eye- it was a wonder that anyone else in the whole world got a wink of sleep that night. Six cowpunchers of the Cibolo Ranch were waiting around the door of the ranch store. Their ponies cropped grass near by, tied in the Texas fashion— sight distinguished in the semi-darkness under the shed. It was a two-horse wagon with a top of white canvas. Th» wagon was half filled with loose pile; of wool sacks, two or three great bundles of gray blankets, and a number of bales, bundles and boxes. A reasoning eye would have estimated the load at once as ranch supplies,’ bound on the morrow for some outlying hacienda. But to the drowsy intelligence of Curly they represented only warmth and softness and protection against the cold humidity of the night. After.sev- eral unlucky efforts, at last he con- quered gravity so far as to climb over a wheel and pitch forward upon the best and warmest bed he had fallen upon in many a day. Then he became instinctively a burrowing animal, and dug his way like a prairie dog down among the sacks and blankets, hiding himself from the cold air as snug and safe as a bear in his den. For three nights sleep had visited Curly only ia broken and shivering doses. So now. when Morpheus condescended to pay him a call, Curly got such a stfangle hold on the mythical old gentleman thac which is not tied at all. Their bridle reins had been dropped to the earth. which is a more effectual way of secur- ing them (such is the power of habit and imagination) than you could devise out of a half-inch rope and a live-oak tree. These guardians of the cow lounged about, each with a brown cigarette paper in his hand, and gently but un- ceasingly cursed Sam Revell, the store- keeper. Sam stood in the door, snap- ping the red elastic bands on his pink madras shirtsleeves and looking down affectionately at the only pair of tan shoes within a 40-mile radius. His of- fense had been serious, and he was divided between humble apology and ad- miration for the beauty of his raiment. Hie had allowed the ranch stock of ‘‘smoking’’ to become exhausted. “tT thought sure there was another case of it under the counter, boys,’ he explained. “But it happened to be catteridges.”’ “You've sure got a case of happene- dicitis,’” said Poky Rogers, fence rider of the Largo Verde potrero. ‘Somebody ought to happen to give you a knock on the head with the butt end of a squirt. I’ve rode in nine miles for some tobacco; and it don’t appear natural and seemly that you ought to be allowed to live.’ * RL eRe “The boys was smokin’ cut plug and dried mesquite leaves mixed when i left," sighed Mustang ‘Taylor, horse wrangler of the Three £im camp. «They'll be lookin’ for me back by 9. They'll be settin’ up, with their papers ready to roll.a whiff of the real thing before bedtime. ‘em that this pink-eyed, sheep-headed, | sulphur-footed, calico broncho, Sam Revell, hasn't got no tobacco on hand.” Gregorio Falcon, Mexican vaquero and best thrower of the rope on the Cibolo, pushed his heavy, silver-embroidered straw sombrero back upon his thicket of jet black curls, and scraped the bottoms of his pockets for a few crumbs of the precious weed. “Ah, Don Samuel,” he said, reproach- fully, but with his touch of Castilian manners, “‘escuse me. Dthey say dthe jackrabbeet and dthe sheep have athe most leetle sesOs—how you call dthem —brain-es? Ah don’ believe dthat. Don Samuel—escuse,me. Ah dthink people w’at don’ keep *esmokin’ tobacco, dthey—bot you weel escuse me, Don Samuel.”” | “Now, what's the use of chewin’ the rag, boys?’ said the untroubled Sam, stooping over to rub the toes of his shoes with a red-and-yellow handker- chief. ‘‘Ranse took the ogder for some more smokin’ to San Antone with him Tuesday.

Po ee The American Indian of today is a broken, fast-vanishing adecendent } t Of the great red ‘men who once ruled this country and who foughd with des- erate fury against the white man’s march of Progress. Pom _ The history of these savage warriors and statesmen is woven closely fe énto the history of America itself. Their deeds were as thrilling and their fate ag dramatic as any dime-novel hero's. | ‘TEOUMBEE: SAVAGE WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN EMPEROR. ’ HE braves of the Creek Nation— 5000 Indians in all—sat in solemn coun- cil. They were lined up on the sides of a huge square. Col Hawkins, the Indian Commissioner, was about to harangue them. As Hawkins woes to speak, he halted, dumfounded at a strange sight. ‘Into the hollow square stalked a tall Indian. His face was painted jet __ black, streaked with queer daubs of white. His half-naked body was as biack and hideous as his face. Upon“his head waved a forest of eagle plumes. Be- hind his back dangled the tail of a newly slain buffalo. Like some nightmare ghost the weirdly arrayed Indian strode into the square. At his heels were 30 “other savages in like disguise. Around the open space they marched in utter @ilence, their leader halting now and then to exchange mystic “peace signs’ _ with the more prominent of the Creek chiefs. _ Then the odd procession vanished. No word had been spoken. Yet the _ Creeks, who had come to the conference prepared to join forces with the United _ States, suddenly changed their minds. Hawkins’ most eloquent pleas fell upon - @eaf ears. Nor could the commissioner understand what had befallen. He ‘ asked the name of the black-painted leader, who had thus boldly broken in : ‘apen & solemn council. The half-awed reply of the Creeks was: > “Tecumseh !" _ ‘Tecumseh was bravest and wisest of the Shawnee chiefs. He was born “near Springfield, 0., in 1768. When he was a young man he wen fame in the @ampsign against Gen. Wayne's Yankee troops. From boyhood he hated the United States. Nor could Gen. W. H.

He LOVE AND BLOWS Ir; Ancient Times They Went logether and Do Sometimes Now, By> HENRY W. FISCHER Copyright, 1909. URIOUSLY enough, both Reman and Greek poets considered bru- tality an agreeable, almost nec- ersary, compound of lovemaking. ‘““Love and blows are the same thing,’’ accord- ing to one of the learned pupils of So- crates, and the women seem to have subscribed to this view. The chief temple of the capital of Sparta, for instance, boasted of an altar where once every year the marriageable youth of both sexes met to exchange blows—as a token of love on the part of the girls, as a reminder of what the jatter might expect when married on the part of the young men. “Fer a fish-blooded person to maintain a dignified equilibrium in the presence of lovely woman is all very well,” says Plutarch, “but the soul of a lover is swayed by disquietude, confusion, mad- ness—hence his follies.’’ _ Plautus gives even a more extensive inventory, the Latin text beginning with a word not wholly unknown to the vo- cabulary of modern lovers: “‘Insomnia.”’ Besides a tendency to spend the night thinking of his beloved, every true lover suffers (Plautus says) from the follow- ing symptoms: ‘Terror, stupidity, dev- il-rnay-care courage, thoughtfulness, impudenece and playfulness. Catullus pictured the state of his heart in these words: “T love and hate—aon’t ask me how and why, for I don’t know myself. I only know that these two sentiments lodge side by side in my breast.” And Seneca, whom the world recog- nizes as one of its few great philoso- | phers, goes even further by setting up the claim that, judged by results, love and hatred are twin passions. In the paper describing near-love among the Greeks, the date of the awakening of the gentle passion (or, rather, a sentiment akin to it) was fixed at 500 B. C., and it is significant that mention of lovers’ quarrels is found neither in the folklore nor in the writ- ten chronicles of previous ages. Pericle’s contemporary, Aristophanes, was the first author to associate love and blows. He introduces a woman complaining that her lover no longer pinches her when other men make mage 2 as cast s s-eyes ot her. An uctus, a ete a Ae records the following dialogue between two young women: “Chr--sis tells Ampelis, a woman friend, of an awful beating given her by her ; rgias. ptrp ag Mee a ong replied Ampelis, ‘you don’t understand. Promises, kisses, ee, etc., are but incidentals to the first stages of love. When, however, @ lover boxes your ears, tears out your hair and wrecks your finery, then he —————— spirited away to the Happy Hunting Grounds, His exact fate is ,& mys tery. Gen. Harrison, wrote praising Te- cumseh’s genius for war and statecraft, and added that but for the westward Fy boonige of the white men he,might have — e._rivales - + of ee ; a shows a true, lasting love. If Gorgias has beaten you as well as you claim, pray to the gods that he do so again and ‘gain, for better proof of his love he cannot give you.’” These were not isolated cases. Love and blows were the rule among Greek and Roman society folk as late as the first century of our own era, while among the nations where marriage never lost the commercial aspect neither was in evidence. The Babylonians, for instance, who bought their wives at the auction block, treated them as well as a valuable horse or camel. Indeed, the law forbade the husband to beat his wife even ‘‘if she be ugly of face, figure or temper.”’ What, then, helped to develop the ro- mantic features of love among the cul- tured nations, at the same time making them forget this advantage by outbursts of brutality, as set forth? That called “the salt and pepper of love,”’ whereof a little is piquant, while too much spoils the brothg Jealousy. The Germans have perhaps the best definition of the word jealousy. They call it Eifersucht, wrath-seeker, anil define it as agLeidenschaft, pain- giver, that seeks with wrath what gives pain. That is exactly what lovers among the ancients did. According to the testi- mony of their poets and other writers, they sought for every opportunity to in- flict punishment on the object of their affection only to become penitents im- mediately afterwards, sue for pardon ot demand for themselves the medicine they made the other swallow. Here follows a telltale passage from Ovid, author oi “The Art of Loving:” “Thou, whom I have so cruelly mal- treated, take swift revenge. Beat me, scratch me, spare neither my hair nor my eyes. Thou sayest thy hands are week. Let indignation fortify them! Above all rearrange thy hair, the dis- order of which is a monument of Bi cruelty.”’ But among the cultured ancients pe ousy Was the privilege of males alone. Said the women of Corinth to Medea: “If Jason prefers a fresh love, be not angered with him for that.’’ Indeed, for a woman in Athens or Rome to wish to keep her husband's permanent or exclusive love was re- garded as a sign.that she was unreason- able. Granted that of all the Ingredients of leve jealousy is the most savage and most selfish, we yet turn with a sense of relief to a country where it is, at least, not »« monopoly of the 4s HEN I AM RICH,” b Roy W Mason, is one of the mos rege ape stories of the va- fation season. college man g06s broke in New wok and has some ex- traordinary adventures before he lands on his feet and marries ‘‘the’’ girl. The most interesting episode in his ca- reer turns about his assignment by a brokerage house to go to a Texas town to complete a railroad which the firm had bonded, but the construction of which the local stockholders said would be delayed assuredly beyond the con- tract period by labor troubles. But Chester Taylor knew negroes and he jumped into the breach with a picnic scheme. He offered to give a banquet to the negroes of the town that did the most construction work along the right- of-way in a prescribed period. The ne- Sroes toiled like troopers so that they might win the barbecue. Soon three towns had it to themselves and other communities lost interest, whereupon Taylor saw that the records of the miles of work done by each town were accidentally burned. Then he announced that all sticking to the work to the finish should participate in the barse- cue. The railroad was finished on time and the young man’s futvrs with his firm Was assured. A pretty love story runs through the book. (Dilitngham.) A terested in the origin of life on this globe is W. Hanna Thom- son's “What Is Physical Life?’’ An ex- cerpt from the preface will serve to show the author's line of thought. “This book is written to show that enough has been demonstrated already to prove that the hypothesis of earthly life ever having had a spontaneous, or mechanical, or physico-chemical origin is wholly untenable. This conclusion, though supported by other strong evi- dence, is the only deduction permissible from the fact that life existed on this globe for untold million’ of years in very specific and hereditary forms, be- fore there appeared on éarth a single living thing which could be visible to the naked eye. During this period, some of these forms matériaily altered the earth’s surface. In this vast living world of microscopic forms, therefore was the origin of life here. This infer- BOOK of ; reat value to those in- —_ ——_—_—_— re tm ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ——— Reviews of Ne New Books | ence is further borne out by the sig- nificant fact that every visible living thing now, however gigantic in size, yet begins with only a single microscopic cell to- its physical being, and likewise must every descendant from it s0 be-. gin. oe The author concludes that all of this is the fruition of Divine design and that they who reject this theory and deny that men are destined to another life are ‘“‘paralyzed by the imbecile in- credulity and perverse will.”” (Dodd- Mead.) HE Kansas grasshopper has been | embalmed in literature by Wil- liam Allen White in his new novel, “A Certain Rich Man.” John Barclay probably would have accu- mulated a goodly share of the world’s wealth under any circumstances but it Was the grasshopper’s ravages that drove the iron into his soul, taught him to pick the people as clean as it pick- ed his fields and eventually made him one of the most conscientious money kings the country ever produced. Barclay had been a thrifty boy and the Golden Belt Wheat Co., as origi- nally planned, was worthy his spirit of enterprise. He leased thousands of acres of land and sold shares to East- ern capitalists in a stock company to get money to finance the deal. J If the crop had yielded, he would have been content with a moderate profit and would have been regarded as a bene- factor by his neighbors. But the blight of the grasshopper fell ypon the fields and not so much as a sprig was left to harvest. Then John Barclay started to become a curse upon his fellow-men. It was a desperate struggle he waged to keep his company in existence. The moderate profit no longer was his aim. He want- ed everything, to recoup his losses and pay a dividend, too. Ofcourse, the grass- hoppers did not stop with Barclay’s wheat. They ate everything green in Kansas. Then followed great distress among the farmers and John Barclay set about coining it into wealth for him. He forced them to sign away their land to him at a great sacrifice for the next season and tied them up with options that would give him the right of pur- chase at a fourth the value of the farms. The next year, the greatest wheat crop in the state grew upon his thou- sands of acres. He closed his options on many farms and could figure his wealth into thousands. Then he con- ceived the idea of building {mills to grind his wheat, and he did it.’ Then he en- gineered a deal with the railroads by which he was granted so much freight rebate that he could drive milling com- petitors out of business. Then he be- [people in ‘this world stand around— that’s what.”’: Here, “A Certain Rich Man” might/be any one of many rich men, who after their wealth is sufficient to buy them all that they could desire, continue to pile it up because of the power it gives— the power to make the world “stand around.” Indeed, the development of John Bar- clay from country boy and washerwom- an’s son to the ranks of the world’s Croesuses is so like the careers of many of our money aristocrats that one éas- ily undergoes the illusion that one is reading biography. But the time comes when John Bar- clay finds that making the world | ‘stand around’§ is not worth while. The Government ns to inquire how he got it. The public conscience is aroused by the question and the result is that Barclay is caught in the net of the crusade against rebating. Grand juries indict him. He becomes a horrible ex- ample. His chief clerk, flance of his daughter, testifies against him at the expense of his romance. His old friends grow cold towards him. The last blow comes when his wife dies of typhoid fever contracted from a contaminated water system he had forced upon his home town. He reforms, He liquidates his great food trust dol- lar for dollar. Like tne real life in- stitutions of this sort, there is little land and a great deal of water. But nobody loses a cent in his company. Then he goes back to the old town, with only his first mill ery a few thou- sand dollars left. In th d he drowns after he saves the Ufe of the comnion- est woman of the town. And the great- est funeral and the greatest fame the community can give are his. Above all, he sees his daughter's romance spring from bud to flower and wit- nesses her happy marriage to the poor youth she had learned to love at school. John Barclay, clean liver and above scandal with all his wealth, it will be seen, is a man with a great deal of sentiment in his soul. In his ag he loved a beautiful little girl, Culpepper. The book leads one to mgs lieve that if she had lived John Bar- clay might have been a different man. But she died while he was away at college and “when she went he closed his Emerson and a his trigonom- See ae nan cone OSSWSts CUA tA Ov them into it, for, as every n ry ever lived in a country town Wil Ward ‘and Watts : shoemaker, are a goodly « know.

PLANS BiG AUTO BOAT RACE ON RIV Owner of Independence Il Would Have Free-for-All as Centennial Feature. Edwin C. Koenig, owner of the Inde- pendence II, and other owners of rac- ing power boats are trying to get the Centennial Celebration Committee to put on a special free-for-all race during Centennial week. Before Koenig departed from Peoria, Ii., the owner of the Scripps IJ, the fast Detroit (Mich.) racer; Hoosier Boy, winner of the free-for-all race at Peoria, and E. Ccrsepius of Fort Madison, Io., owner, of the Mascot, another fast boat, had promised to enter their boats if a special speed boat race was arranged for the Cenicnnial. It is possible that the Lamb IV, winner of the champion- ship at Burlington, but which seems outclassed by the Hoosier Boy and In- dependence II, might be entered. The Lamb IV has 12 cylinders, but the boat was not as fast as was ex- pected. The Independence II won the prize for ‘the fastest mile at Peoria, beating the Hoosiers time 7% seconds. In the free-for-all race the Independ- ence met with an accident that threw the boat out of the race while in the lead. A race between the Independence, Hoosier Boy, Mascot and Scripps, the latter a long, narrow, lightly built ‘racer, should prove to be very excit- ing.

Miiler, who owns the 101 Ranch, near Bliss, Ok., in company with three other milMonaire brothers, while here tceday made the largest cash offer for the Jeffries-Johnson fight that has yet been reported, of- fering $75,000 cash for the bout. He prepared a certified check for $25,000 and stated his willingness to place it in any bank named by the managers of the fighters to show his good faith in making the offer. “I am also willing to place $75,000 in cash in any bank they name, if they want that. I want Oklahoma to have that fight and will do every- thing possible to land it. We have been considering the matter for some time and Friday decided to make an attempt to land the fight if possible,” he says.

The answer “we the Rossman-Jones problem is not plain. Like the squid, Robert Lee has careful obscured his line | of retreat by inking the water with a hint that the trade for Ross is only a lead-up to other deals to come. If the trade is a straight one for — Jones it can be said safely that Browns lost the better player, tho not necessarily the more valuable one to the club. Jones has something on Rossman in nicety of flelding, evenness of work, and such uniformity of tem- perament as occasionally saves him ffom delivering a ball into the pavilion that was merely intended for Hobe Ferris. Technically Rossman is not a good first baseman. He brings from Detroit a reputation for sensitiveness and a predisposition to do the Jake Beckley, at times when the pitcher is praying for him to be a Rock of Ages. However, the difference between his fielding and Jones’ work, is only meas- ured by a very few thousandths, and can be well forgotten if he will clean up his artillery and show that rapid fire record of hits—per game—which i made him invaluable to Detroit for two years.

The gallery heoted his action, but the gallery was not close enough to the ringside to see just how weak was the Northwestern fighter and how near collapse, While the iightweights in the early stages of their milling did not give promise of an exciting match, they warmed to their work, and as Frayne, ths outside choice, showed that he could beat Hyland at long range and' swap punches with him in clinches, the crowd in the clinches and swung with good effect. Hyland doubtless had the strong- er punch of the two and on severa! oc- casions unquestionably landed the hard- er blows, but he was outpointed more than two to ene from start to finish. Frayne’s work was the more clean cut, and barring the aggressiveness of Dick, the latter showed nothing that would entitle him to consideration.

They way they started after Scanlan in the opening round showed that they had the Indian sign on him, and Harmon was apparently just as effective as ne was in the last game he pitched against the Superbas, which he lost because Nap Rucker struck out "age 16 of his fellow players. But the rain came and the game went. It would have helped quite a bit, while the Phillies were getting theirs from the Pirates. The first game was pretty much al! that a ball game should be. It went 10 innings without a score and if a heavy rain had not come up at that time, necessitating a stop of some 25 minutes, might have ¢2ne on indefinitely without a different result. But when the bai! got wet Rucker lost all his magic. Every time the Cardinals would get a hit Rucker would tighten up and it would be all off. In only two innings did they get more than one hit. In the second Hulswitt, the first man up, sin- gled; Storie struck out and then Beebe got a single. It was only a fluke and would have been an out had not Len nox silpped just as he picked up the ball. His throw'was delayed and was too low for Hummell to get. But Bar. beau followed with « fly to left ana Ellis, usually reliable tn pinches, could only send it bounding down to Alper- man. Hits Avail Nothing. In the sixth thera were two singles, one by Barbeau and one by Beebe, but both came after two men were down, and Beebe nullified his by being caught at second when he overran it on Bar. beau’s belt to center. After that, up to the eleventh, only two hits were made, one in the sixth and one in the ninth. It was noteworthy that the first base on balls in the game was that given to vans in the ninth. though Rucker had hit the same bais- man with a pi‘ched ball in thé seventh. In the eleventh, after the ball got wet, Rucker passed one man and hit two with pitched balls. Beebe’s first gift also came in the ninth, when he passed Lennox, but it looked a little as though he had done it on purpose, for there were two on base, and Lennox is one of those chaps who might lift it to the fence at almost any time. This filled the bases, with only one down, and it looked a little squally for the gentle- man with the ascetic countenance, but he made a face at McElveen and then struck him out. This encouraged him and he took a chance with Alperman, and when Whitey landed on a straight one, it looked like it was all off. The ball sailed on a line toward left and it looked as though it would go so far over Ellis’ head he couldn’t reach it with a bean pole, but Rube was there. He kept running until the ball got to him, then went up in the air like a bird and plucked it down. It was a .great catch, and for the rest of the year Brooklyn can figure that they would have won the game sure if it hadn't ‘been for Rube. New Men Hustling. If Barbeau and Storke are dissatis- fied with their transfer to St. Louis, they do not show it in their way of getting on the job. Of course, it is a little rough for them to give up the chance to cut In on the post-season mel- on that would have been theirs if the Pirates win out, but they seem to take it as all in the day’s work. But away down in their hearts they are a little sore at Clarke, and if they can help beat the Pittsburgs in the wind-up series, it is a ten to one bet they will. Koney had the right end of the argument with Klem which resulted in bis being sent to the clubhouse after a prolonged kick in the ninth. Clem- ents had singled and sent Burch to third, and when Hulswitt headed off the throw to catch Burch and sailed it back tu Koney he caught Clements a yard off the tag. Kiem was looking right at it and saw it all, but he was doing a lot of guessing throughout the game, and it was one of his worst guesses when he called Clements safe. It was a decision that might have caused the loss of the game, and would surely have done so if Ellis had not got Alperman's drive later in the inning. —_—_—_—_—— What the Fighters Are Doing By JOHN POLLOCK, A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—A match was clinched Friday night between Paddy Ssul- livan, the South Brooklyn lightweight, and “Young Loughrey,’’ the rugged Quaker City fighter. They will come together in a six- round boyt at the next show of the Dougias A. C. of Philedelphia on Tuesday night, As both men are gainé and hard punehers ought to put up @ great scrap. they The heavyweight scrap between Jos Jeanette. the coolred pugilist, and Sandy Ferguson, the Boston fighter, at the Fair- mount A. C. om next Friday night, is being more freely discussed by the followers of the game than was expected. This will be the firat good battle between the big fellows that has been fought in this vicinity for a th wil a =. Fo De Sected to wititins the ecrap.

C. Rafael is bringing along with him Jimmy Carroll, the California bantamwei~ht, who has two decisions over Monte Attell. Patsy Brannigan, the husky Pittsburg lad who defeated Kendrick, the English bantam- weight champion so easily a few weeks ago, has been engaged by Jim Buckley to meet Pal Moore, the Quaker City fighter, for 10 rounds in the main event at the next stag of the Sharkey A. C. on Wednesday night. These lads fought a great battle at the same club a short time ago. Sam Berger, manager of Jim Jeffries, ar- rived at San Francisco Friday night and stated tht Ge We Aight betwGik tniivies and Jack Johnson had been clinched. but nothing further would be done until Jeft- ries returns from abroad, which will be about Oct. 1. “If the fight does not come off,”’ said . “it wilh be, the fault of Johnson, ae I ome ane Mes esl Packs: des ‘ton 8 ay. *f ° a? parr sens : — SE Bs « news Os mm ys » Sam Saye - te gS cepitiy Mare eh" 5 A EAT ieaeaiacaaiinlaedl supaleiibainencicameadnani ae en Ns, ahs j ee to make good. I am willing to go to any part of the country to meet the managers of the fighters an@ make arrangements [cr the bout and tlace the money as they desire. We have plenty of room down there, 100,- 000 acres of land and good railroad facilities. ) “Our ranch is only 40 miles from Oklahoma City. By having the fight there we can accommcdate the crowds frcm both East and West, and the climate is always good for a big mill of that kind. “I would Iike to have the fight come off about the middle of next April. Any day the fight managers want to meet me I am willif'g to go where they designate.” EASTERN ATHLETES IN MEET AT GOLDEN GATE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21—A _tri- angular track and field meet will be held today at the Golden Gate Park stadium between teams representing the “Nuw York Athletic Club, the Chicago Athletic Association and -the Olympic Club of this city. Among the competitors will be six American champions, some of whom won their -aurels at Seattle last week, and a number of former champions, who wil) seek to reverse the result of the meet at the Northern city. Among the champicns who will compete are W. F. Dawborn. in the 220-yard dash; E. T. Linberg, én the 440; Joseph Ballard, in the mile; Harry McLean, in the five- miles; Frank Irons, in the broad jump. and Ralph Rose in the weight. batting average last year was .24 and all of the hits were of the “stinging safety’ type. No rollers that rapid-fire legs stretched into singles are on the record of Rossman. Plain hits are all he deals in. Through trouble with Jennings, it may be, or perhaps through a bad sea- son, Rossman has fallen off greatly in his hitting, and when he can not bat Rossman is about as useful as & fork at a@ soup party. Mr. Hedges says he thinks that Ross- man will do well at bat for his club and that he will therefore be worth more to the Browns than Jonea If he does hit there will be no need to talk about further trades in which Rossman is to figure, or of putting Griggs on first. What the Browns need is hitters of the Rossman stripe—good, elean-hit swatters, who can break up a game when the time is auspicious. Jones? Well, “Squire’ was a good player. None better as a mark to be careless about throwing to. Good on ground balls, alert, fairly quick-minded, he is just the man to fill in Jennings’ team at a critical period. On the face of it the trade seems a good one for both sides and appears to fill a need of both clubs. eel Now Why Is Thist Jimmy McAleer sits in silence and sees all the trades, purchases, dicker- ings and rearrangements going on in his team without a comment. He stated when the team returned to St. Louls that he knew nothing of any trade for Jack O’Connor, and purchases of new players or any swaps of players.

This was just before Lent, and §be- tween that and Holy Thursday, which was April 8, things are alleged to hav happened to move Gillooley to radical action. He quit the flat and made his home elsewhere. In a few days he no- tified his wife that he was going to sue for divorce and name the priest as co- respondent. She denounced him as breu- tal and his charges as false and threat- ened to make public everything she knew concerning Gillooley and Ryan. Put in due time her anger was appeased and the suit for divorce was filed, not- withstanding the fact that they both were devout Roman Catholics. Nothing in Law Journal. When it became time to select lawyers the fine hand of Mr. Ryan was dis- played, for he did not care to have a scandal in his business office, nor did he wish to have the name of a Roman Catholic priest bandied about on the streets. So he summoned two of his confidential lawyers, and through them the suit was filed and the wife’s an- swer made. A referee was appointed, hearings were had and the referee's report filed. Yet there are no court records to show any of these things, and none of them appeared in the Law Journal. The referee reported in favor of the husband, but did not* name the co-re- spondent. The great power of Ryan in the courthouse was again shown, for not an order up to this time had been entered on the records. When the trial judge had rendered his decision against the wife he ordered all the papers sealed. CREDIT INDEMNITY COMPANY |S MADE-IN-ST.

Both the drowning and the runeral were reported to his mother in brief messages which were devoid of de- tails.

HUPE WITHERS LUWER WOMAN TRIES 10 Dlt Old Olive Street Vender Had Sold No Carnations for Two Days. A half dozen withered carnations and two faded roses lay in a basket clutched In the hand of Mrs. Mary Denis, old Olive street flower vendor, when she was found in an alley near Sixth street and Franklin avenue Friday after she had taken carbolic acid in an effort to commit suicide. For two days not a single customer had purchased a flower. No one had re- sponded to her crying of her wares. The crowds had passed by her corner, Ninth and Olive, in a steady stream all day long and she had held out flowers to them in her thin, trembling hands. But no one stopped and bought. So the flowers lost their freshness in the summer heat. The brilliance of their colors grew dim and the softness of their texture disappeared. And just as the flowers withered, so withered hope in the heart of the aged flower woman. Business Didn’t “Pick Up.” After a.profitiess day Thursday she reached a conclusion. She would kill herself if business did not “pick up’’ Friday. So when she went to her cor- ner, she had more than her stock of flowers and the bit of coffee cake that was to be her lunch. She had a little bottle of carbolic acid. She did not eat the coffee cake. What was the use? Her heart was too heavy to think of being hungry, and besides, she was going to die in a little while, and the dead do not need food. Table Leg for Limb, SUIT 1S i 10 THEOSOPHY Family of Central of Georgia President Lived at Point Loma. / CONTRACT ONCE MADE Majof Hanson Had Agreed to Pay Wife a Liberal Allowance.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 21.—Maj. J Hanson, president of the Georgia Cen- tral Railroad, declares theosophy is responsible for the divorce suit filed in which Mrs. Hanson J. Hy McVickar of New ‘‘Jack”’ Horner of against him, names Mrs. York, formerly Mrs. Baltimore. At present Maj. Hanson is in Seattle with his daughter, Mrs. Garrett, ais grandson and some friends in his private car. He has been wired of the divorce proceedings and has sent the following reply: “The suggestion that I ever tried to install Mrs. Horner, now Mrs. McVickar, in our home, is absoluely untrue, and the dragging of Mrs. McVickar’s name into any matter between Mrs. Hanson and myself, is a cruel injustice, both 10 that lady and myself. Wife Mrs. Horner’s Friend, “Mrs. Hanson visited Mrs. Horner much oftener than did I and she pro- fessed a thorough devotion to her. Mrs. Horner was a frequent and welcome guest at her home after she separated from her husband and left Georgia. Mrs. Hanson wrote her in the most affection- ate terms, pledging the sincere friend- ship of both Mrs. Hanson and myself. It is simply amazing that Mrs. Hanson could be a party to any such allega- tions as are reported to have been made in the suit for divorce. I cannot under- stand it. “Theosophy is at the bottom of the whole thing. It broke up our home. My wife and two of my children even insisted that I join Mrs. Tingley at Point Loma, Cal., and give her finan- cial support in the theosophic move- ment, which she was carrying on at that place. And I, of course, flatly re- fused to entertain such a thing. I could see no good in Theosophy, but could see that it was breaking up my home. “Mrs. Hanson left me twice and when she returned the first time I took her back, but I refused to entertain any suggestions with reference tq 4 reconciliation after she had left me the second time. She threatened di- vorce proceedings then, but as I was informed at the time, her attorneys thought ethere were no grounds for a divorce and advised a separate agree- ment. This was entered into fifteen or eighteen months ago, as near as | can remember and I then gave her everything that her attorneys demand- ed of me.”’ Maj. Hanson’s son, Walter, died re- cently in New York suddenly and it was thought by friends at the time that no suit for separation would be brought. Made Contract With Wife. It is known that a contract was en- tered into between Maj. Hanson and Mrs. Hanson, whereby she was liberally provided with a large annual income and the use of the magnificent Hanson home in Macon. Mrs. Hanson, how- ever, rented this house and made her home in California. The principal ground alleged in the petition is that Maj. Hanson, because of his infatuation for Mrs. Horner, demanded ef his wife that Mrs. Horner be allowed to make her home at the Hanson residence in Macon. This de- for the Republican party, of the referees along with well Edwards and Walter Johnson. ° Since control of the Centra! of Geor- gia Railroad was won by E. H. Harri- man, and Maj. Hanson has come into close contact with that wizard of the railroad world, it is known he has made a most favorable impression and that Mr. Harriman has expressed to friends his thorough confidence in Maj. Han- son’s ability. SHOOTS WIFE TO DEATH IN OFFICE OF POLICE CHIEF Husband Kisses -Her and Fires When She Refuses to Return to Former Life. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Aug. 2i—George F’. Marion, 52 years old, of Atlanta, Ga, shot and instantly killed his common law wife in the office of the Chief of Police in this city last night. The wo- man was formerly Miss Frances Lee of Zion City, Ill. During the winter months Marion is a thearical advance agent, and a Pullman car conductor during the summer. Several weeks ago Marion told the po- lice the woman ran away with another man, taking her child with her. Marien traced them to this city and through the Chief of Police he arranged to meet her at police headquarters. When they met he kissed her and both appeared happy. Marion asked the chief to step from the office a few moments while he spoke to his wife in private. As soon as the chief had left the room Marion asked his wife if she would re- turn to Atlanta with him. She refused. He then shot her dead. He was sent to jail. BULLS FIGHT aN SHIP AS IT PLUNGES IN HEAVY SEA Animals, Frightened by Alligator, Attack and Kill Largest of Their Number. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—Passen- gers on board the German ship Ella, which arrived in this port yesgerday, were the spectators at a real bull fight while the vessel was rolling in a heavy sea. Several Mexican bulls confined in stalls on the afterdeck became fright- ened at the snapping of small alligators traveling with them as fellow passen- gers and, breaking from their stalls, commenced a sanguinary battle which did not end until the deck was so slip- pery with blood that they could not stand on their feet. The biggest bull of the herd was sin- glied out by the othere as the special object of attack and, although he flung his assailants off time after time with his ‘mighty horns, he was finally borne to the deck and killed by the repeated gorings of his mates.
