Cheers greeted the Frenchman's ex- pioit. President Fallieres was an interested @pectator of the flight, having come down from Pavis when informed by tele- graph that the heavy wind that had biown ih the forenooon had perceptibly @iminished so that flights would be pos- gible in the afternoon. M. Fallieres war accompanied by his wife. President Fallieres and his party ar- rived at 4 o’clock this afternoon. They were driven in automobiles through a @ouble line of cuirassiers to the tribunes, where M. Fallieres was given a rousing ovation. He at once started on a walk down the line of airship ‘sheds.

M. Fallieres was accompanied by the Military Governor of the Department; Lieut. Sir John French of the British Army, Premier Briand and Minister of _ Public Works Millerand. He examined a number of the machines and congrat- wlated the aviators. As the President approached the shed occupied by the Curtiss machine, Mr. Bishop, who was dctng the honors, asked Curtiss to step forward. Curtiss replied: “I do not want to intrude myself,”’ but nevertheless, upon the insistence of Mr. Bishop he took his place be- Side the machine and was presented to the President of the republic. M. FPallieres examined the Curtiss aero- plane carefully, remarking upon its small size as compared to the others. One of the mechanicians operated the Beroplane while Mr. Bishop explained ae the manner of maneuvering. At the "ame time he told President Fallieres that Curtiss did not speak French. “He does better than that,” replied the President, “he accomplishes things."’ Yesterday America’s Day.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Aug. 4.— the United States

News is brought by revenue cutter Tahoma, which reached Puget Sound today after steaming around the world from Baltimore, that a party of ethnologists headed by Dr. Weldmer Yochelson, a noted Russian explorer, has discovered relics and skel- etons that would establish the record of population of Northwestern North America during prehistoric ages. In a statement to Capt. Quinan of.the Tahoma, Dr. Yochelson told of differ- ences from the present civilization on the islands which the relics uncovered would establish completely a_ belief that thousands of years ago the high- est type of humanity existing in the New World was in the North. The search of the Yochelson party is direct- ed by the Royal Russian Geographical Society and will be continued several years before a formal report is made in St. Petersburg. Report is also brought that the Bo- goslov Islands, in. Bering Sea, the field of numerous changes through volcanic eruptions, are now undergoing further marked configurations. _- POLICEMAN INHERITS $50,000, WILL BUY WIFE A NEW HAT Chicago Patrolman Will Keep on Walking His Beat, Despite Good Fortune. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—*TI'll buy my wife a new hat,” exclaimed Patrolman John Messerley when informed that his uncle, John Messerley of Jackson- |ville, Ill, who died July 5, had be- queathed $50,900 to him. Messerley, who lives at 886 West Harrison street, was pounding a Des- plaines Station béat when he learned of his fortune. “TI shall not get off the force be- cause I have some money coming,” he said, growing calmer. “I believe in every man working, whether he has money or not. None of your idle rich business men for me. “T shall continue to travel my beat and do my duty as a policeman just the same. I'm giad to get the money.

Policemen ..at headquarters heard George Denton of 3 South Fifteenth street yelling for help as two negro highwaymen, one with a revolver, were robbing him at Twelfth and Market streets, two blocks away, at 2 a. m. Tuesday. In a patrol wagon, Lieut. Hess, Sergt. Drissell and several patrolmen huyrried to the scene. They saw the robbers running away and in five minutes over- took them in an alley near Thirteenth and Chestnut streets. Denton was on his way home when the negroes stopped him. They then took $1.40 from his pockets. Denton called for help, when the negroes start- ed north on Twelfth street, and pursued trem. The robbers fled west on Chestnut street, through the rooms of the Union Waiters’ Club at 1509 Chestnut street, and then east tn the alley where | Mhey were caught. One of the negroes is William Wash- ington, alias “Bad Eye,” who has a long police record. BABY TRIES TO RIDE OUT ~ WINDOW ON SUNBEAM, FALLS Pedestrian Catches Little One in His Arms as Child Goes After Peddler’s Jewelry. When Willis Julier, 2% years old, tried to “float down a sunbeam’’ from a sec- ond-story window of the Criterion Hotel to a peddier with sparkling, but cheap, jewelry, who stodd in the street, he might have been killed if Frank Hin- derer of 2141 Spring avenue had not caught the little fellow in his arms. Mrs. Frank Julier, wife of a restaurant keepr, was holding her little boy by his belt Tuesday while he looked out of the window. The peddler’s stock of burnished brooches and “Arkansas dia- mond” rings, gieaming in the noon sun, caught the child’s eye. Willis thought he would ride down a sunbeam, as boys ride down a stair rail, to play with the shining things. He threw himself against the screen. The screen gave way under his weight, his mother’s hold on his belt was broken, and Willis fel). Hindered, one of the lunch-time crowd on the street caught the baby. When he had Willis safely in his arms he ran jo the Liggett wullding and turned the child over to Dr. D. F. Filader. The physician revived the baby. who was unconscious from the shock, and said he was»not seriously hurt. Mrs. Julier and her mother were pros- trated after the accident. —

Hayes is 27 years old and says he was never arrested on any charge before he was accused of an attempt to extort money from the story of how temporary poverty forced him into a position where a set of cir- cumstantial evidence was woven about ‘him, terminating in his being indicted for a serious crime. Learned Trade of Baker. He says he is a native of Lebanon, Ky., where he obtained a fair public school education. His father died when he was 12 years old and soon after that he was compelled to become the breadwinner for his widowed moth- er. He took up the trade of baker and worked as an apprentice at his home in Louisville, where he finished his appren- ticeship and got to .the point where he could earn $30 a week. He ¢ame to S8t. Louis first in 1 he safe. workéd here awhile ana t went to several other cities in the Mid- die West, working at his trade. Then he went to Cincinnati, where he stayed two years. On May 17 he returned to St. Louis. He says he could get no employment } Save to work at occaaijonal jobs, helping out when there was a rush at some bakery. His funds ran lower and low- er and about the middle of June he found his cash on hand reduced to a few dimes. Met Stranger in Hotel. He went, he said, to the Globe Hotel, a cheap lodging house, at 112 North Sixth street. There, among others, he met a man known to him only by his first name. He saw this man several times, he said, aboutgtue hotel office. On June 17 Hayes Was penniless. 2 saw the man again and asked him for a nickel to vay his way to the South Side, where he expected to get money from ‘stends. The man told him he would give him a dime if he would go to the postoffice and get a letter. Hayes armed with an order signed “A. &. Macklin,” went to the Postoffice and got the letter. Two blocks away he was arrested. The letter had been written by Wabash officials as a decoy for the blackmallers. Hayes, because he did not want any- one to know he was staying at a lodg- ing house, had registered as “R. L. Hag- gard."’ He thinks he would have done better had he registered under his own name. He was acyuitted by Uni.ed States Commissioner Hibbard when taken be- fore that official on a charge of im- proper use of the mails, but when he went back to the jail to get his ef- fects he was re-arrested on a warrant charging blackmail. He pleaded not guilty in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection and was bound over to the grand jury which indicted him. Since then Pinkerton detectives have found evidence which makes them cer- tain that Hayes’ story is true and that the man who sent him for the letter did take advantage of his innocence. They are looking for that man. Letters te Girl Are Clew. Among other evidence against the man now sought as the blackmaller are letters he wrote to a girl-in Colum- bia, Mo., the hand writing of whi-a bears a striking resemblance to that of the letters addressed to the Wabash officials. It has developed that the man sought was formerly a school janitor at Colum- bia. It is said, also, that the writing In the letters to the Wabash officials strongly resembles that of letters writ- ten to New York Central officials just before a wreck near New York in 1906. Hayes is represented by a lawyer ap- pointed by the Court. The young pris- oner says that he wil! insist on &@ com- plete vindication and that nothing else will satisfy him. He is willing, he says, to testify against the other man when- ever he is arrested and brought to trial. He has no intention of running away, he says, and cannot understand why te le kept a prisoner after the investi- gating detectives have become satisfied of his innocence.

Mr. Grath learned of this fear that gnawed on the old man’s heart and assured him that he would be given a real funeral and laid away in anothgr than a pauper’s grave. That seemed to make the old man easier in his mind Mr. Grath gave him a card which which read: “‘Valentine Then, in case of your death I will pay your funeral expenses if I am notified.’ It was signed “W.

He wore gray whiskers. Mr. Grath told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that the old man formerly lived on Chippewa street, near Third street. FAIR WEATHER, WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE. SAYS ST.

BATES FIXED BY COMMERCE BODY Permanent Injunction Granted Against Interstate Com- merce Commission. PRINCIPLE IS AT STAKE Judges Grosscup and Kohlsaat Agree on Decision, While Baker Dissents. By Associated Press. CHICAGO, Aug. 2%—The permanent injunction sought by Western railways against the Interstate Commerce Com- ‘| mission in the famous Missouri River rate case was granted here today by Judges Grosscup, Baker and Kohisaat of the United States Circuit Court. Judge Grosscup delivered the opinion of the court, Judge Kohlisaat concur- ring, while Judge Baker delivered a dissenting opinion. The Commission, thus defeated in its first attempt to bring about what is al- leged to be a new system, or principle of ratemaking, will, it is asserted, carry the cause to the Supreme Cpurt of the United States. The parties which petitioned for the injunction were the Chicago, Rock Is- land & Pacific Railroad Co., the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co., the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Co., the Chicago & Northwest- ern Railway Co. and the receivers of the Chicago Great Western Railway Co. et al. The Illinois Central, the Santa Fe, the Alton, the Missour! Pacific and the Frisco Railroad companies and a num- ber of important shipping interests in- tervened as co-complainants. Affects Only the West. “The question raised,” said Judge Grosscup in rendering his opinion, “in its larger aspect, is not so much a question between the shippers and the railroads as between the commercial and manufacturing interests of Den- ver and of the tefritory east of the Mississippi River on the orfe side and the eommercial and manufacturing in- terests of the Missouri River cities on the other.’”’ By the decision announced today the Missour! River cities lose the advan- tage which the enforcement of the com- mission's order would have biven then. Besid@és granting the permanent in- junction in the Missouri River ra‘g case, the Court:salso granted a prelim- inary injunction in the Denver rate case which is based on similar prinG- ples as the Missouri River case. ° The Denver case, involv:ng shipments to Denver instead of Missouri River points, is still pending final decision on a aemurrer filed by the Interstate Com. merce Commission to the bill of the complaining railroads. ‘The ratiroads in the Missouri River rate case sought to have the Interstate Commerce Commission enjoined perma- nently from enforcing an order of the Commission made June 24, 1908, relating to joint rates from the Atlantic sea- board to Missouri River cities. This or- der sought to create a system of through rates from the Atlantic sea- bonrd to the Missouri River that were a reduction from the sums of local rates. This, according to Western roads, threw the burden upon them. Speaking of the power of the Com- mission, the opinion says: “We are not prepared to say that the Commission has not the power to enter upon a plan looking toward a system of rates wherein the rates, for longer and shorter hauls, will taper downward according to distance, providing such > u , ate.

PETERS BANK Institution Alleges St. Louis Congressman Owes Bal- ance of $715. SECURITY BRINGS $100 Paper Originally Called for $2500—Merely Suit for Debt, Says Coudrey. Congressman Harry M. Coudrey of the Twelfth Missouri District, has been sued for $715, balance due on a note held by the Bank of St. Peters of St. Peters, Mo. The suit was filed tate Monday afternoon. When asked about the St. Peters suit Mr. Coudrey replied: ‘“O, I have noth- ing to say—nothing whatever to say. about that. It’s merely a suit for debt.”’ H. E. Sprague, attorney for the Bank of St. Peters, says that recent suits against him have been cited by Mr. Coudrey as reasons for not settling the debt due the bank. The Congressman told the attorney, Mr. Sprague said to @ Post-Dispatch reporter, that the in- surance business recently sold by Cou- crey to F. Churchill Whittemore had never been adjusted and consequently never paid for. ” Security Was Sold. That was the reason Coudrey as- signed, according to Attorney Sprague, for not meeting the note. The origina] note was for $2500. The $715 sued for is a balance due. One hundred shares of stock in the Westinghouse Air and Steam Coupling Co., pledged as se- curity for the note, were sold for $100 at the Court House steps recently. A few months before he sold out to Whittemore, Coudrey gave up the agency of the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Co., and he and the con.- pany were at outs for some days over Coudrey’s refusal to permit the repre- sentatives of the company to look over his books before the final settlement. Shortly before his last election he was sued on notes held by Mrs. Jessica Huntington, a widow, at one time vea)- thy. The notes were for money bor- rowed by Coudrey, His sale of his insufance business to (DED B CRAZED cm WITH SHOTGUN Black Shoots Up Monroe, La., and Crowd Burns His Body. 4 MAYOR IS WOUNDED He Pleads Vainly Against Bon- fire—Two Officers Ex- pected to Die. altieneitememmmmteamen By Associated Press, MONROE, La., Aug. 24.—Half-crased, either by whisky or cocaine, bill Way, & negro from Pine Bluff, Ark., ran down the main street of Monroe today with a si:otgun, firing in every direction.

Reconciliation Was Expected, Frank Jay Gould is the youngest of the children of the late Jay Gould. Mrs. Gould is a daughter of Edward Kelley and granddaughter of Eugene Kelley, a liberal giver to the Catholic church. Mr. and Mrs. Gould separated in April, 1908. Most of their married life had been spent aboard Mr. Gould’s pri- vute yacht and was believed to be ideal. The separation, it was sald, was due to Mr. Gould's jealousy of other men’s admiration for Mrs. Gould. After she had filed suit for divorce he continued efforts to win her back and their friends thought the sult was merely a little storm that would clear the air. When the trial began it was to an ac- companiment of charges of perjury. It was alleged that Mrs. Gould was profit- ing by manufactured testiomny and sev- eral persons were arrested for perjury. Mrs. Ben Teal was convicted and sen- tenced to jail for a year. The alleged perjured testimony had to do with alleged relations between Mr, Gould and actresses.

The reason they have not been able to gauge Curtiss’ ability correctly and do not take his flights seriously is because he does not make his trials with the flourish and show which is a part of the Gallic temperament. Curtiss is typical- iy American. He does his work effi- ciently and witheut noise, During Curtiss’ flight Bleriot, who had come to grief in his effort to overtake him, stood on the course watching him handle his swift little flier with eagle eyes.

WRIGHT TO SAIL AROUND NEW YORK CITY IN BIPLANE NEW YORK, Aug. %.-—It ts possible that Wilbur Wright and Glenn H. Cur- tiss will fly completely around New York City in their aeroplanes at the Hudson-Fuiton celebration next month, according to an announcement made yesterday by James M. Beck, chairman of the «eronautics committee of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission. Mr. Beck also announced that he had just received the contract from Wilbur Wright in which the Dayton inventor bound himself to make the series of flights which are to occur daily for a period during the celebration. As the Wrights have hitherto steaa- fastly declined o make any exhibi- tion flights for money, their action in this case has aroused considerable sur- prise and Mr. Beck made the follow- ing statement: “The Wright brothers have previously refused tempting offers from different parts of the world to give exhibition flights with their pi- plane. The exhibitions tn France, Italy, and Washington were all in connection with contracts for the purchase of rights _ their patents. ——

tial 1 Will for Stand on Tariff Revision. TOWNSEND IS IN FAVOR Michigan Congressman, Taft’s Mouthpiece in House, Groomed for Race. OF gene me na “ From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 24.—Trouble for “Uncle Joe” Ca.non, Speaker of the ‘House of Representatives, is brewing in ' Beverly. The talk that Speaker Cannon cannot and will not be re-elected Speak- ‘er of the next Congress will not down, and behind it comes the steady advance- ment of Representative Charles Elroy Townsend of Michigan. President Taft's selection of Repre- sentative Townsend to champion the ad- ministration’s revision of the corpora- tion and interstate commerce laws has attracted a great deal of attention. Mr. Townsend is the only member of Con- gress who was invited to sit with the jaw commission which is to draft Mr. Mr. Townsend has for years been rec- ognized as* one of the great lawyers of Congress. It was the Esch-Townsend dill which was finally put into shape and adopted under the name of the Hepburn bill to regulate railway rates. It was not Representative Mann of Illi- nois, who succeeds Mr. Hepburn as chai;rian of the important Interstate , rce Committee, who wrote the bill, but Mr. Townsend of Michigan. hosen Taft Spokesman. Mr. ann was Speaker Cannon’s choice for this chairmanship, but Rep- a _ résentative Townsend is the President's choice to act as his spokecman on the floor of the House when the changes in “the interstate commerce law come up. Frepresentative Townsend will Iintro- Gace the President's bill and Represen- ‘tative Townsend wi! get credit at last for the authorship of the legislation, to the study of which he has given all of hig congressional career. Mr. Townsend ‘came to the Fift eighth Congress and has been elected to each succeeding one, the last tima by 9000 majority. Speaker Cannon’s tenure on the head chair in the House is limited. He has been discredited in many Repu” ican districts by progressive Republicans. He has been atacked as an agent of the corporations and he has been consid- @red a dead weight for @ Reoublicad| candidate to carry.* The -resident did not try to defeat Cannon for Speaker lasi spring and the President’s f.‘en‘is @xpected a regeneration of the Speaker out of gratitude to the President. Their expectations were shattered Got Glove Duty for Friend. The one item in the tariff bill whicn - Inecensed Presicent Taft above all others ’ Was the increase in the glove duty. ‘Which Mr. Cannon got for his friend, Tucien Littauer of New York, a glove manufacturer and form¢rly a Repre- Sentative. . President Taft was against these in- Creases, but he coul.. not prevail on the Cannon crewd in the House to yield them. The President had to whip Can- no. in the conference before the Dingley duties on gloves was restored. * The President has not forgotten Can- non’s attitude and he has not forgstten _, the loyalty with which Mr. Townsend acted when he left the insurgent camp to permit Mr. Taft's tariff policy to go ' through under the auspices of the Re- publican organization. - ._ Townsend is altogether out of har- ~ mony. with Cannonism and he was se- Verely criticised for leaving the tnsur- - gents, but he left in the interests of _ party harmony.

2 Years Ago, Found Fight- ing With Drummer. HE CHARGES ROBBERY Says Well-Dressed Woman Lured Him to Hallway and Got Purse. Mayme Kavanaugh, who was banished from St. Louls two years ago by a po- lice order calling for her arrest every time she appeared on the street, occu- ples a -cell in the Carr Street Station on a charge of highway robbery. As the star witness in the police graft trials a little over two years ago, which resulted in the dismissal of several de- tectives and patrolmen. Mayme Kavan- augh boasted to the Board of Police Coramissioners that she and her cohorts had been robbing men nightly without police interference. She promised to leave St. Louls when she was told she wou'd be locked up whenever seen on the street. Patrolman Collins of the Carr Street District, responding to a call for help at 8 p. m., Monday, found Albert S. Biddle, a traveling salesman from Charleton, Ill., struggling with a well- dressed woman in a hallway adjoining a livery stable, at Twenty-second street and Washington avenue. Salesman Charges Robbery. “This woman has robbed me,” shout- ed Biddle, as the policeman approached. *T haven’t done anything of the sort,”’ exclaimed the woman. ‘He tried to flirt with me, and when I resisted he dragged me into this hallway.’’ Patrolman Collins took the man and woman out to the sidewalk. The mo- ment he recognized the woman’s features he uttered an exclamation of surprise. At the Carr Street Station, Mayme Kavanaugh told Lieut. McCormack that she had just recently returned to SBt. Louis. “It’s strange,” said McCormack. “In séveral complain of robberies commit- ted by women, the description of the robber tallied with you.’’ Woman Asks Direction. Biddle told the police he had left the Marquette Hotel, where he is stopping, to take a little stroll. At Nineteenth street and Washington avenue he was accosted by Mayme Kavanaugh, who asked him to direct her to Jefferson avenue. “She walked along with me,” said Biddle, “and when we reached the liv- ery stable she asked me to step inte the hallway until she could fix her shoe. I had a purse containing $15 in my hip pocket and she got it. How she man- aged to get her hand into my pocket without my knowledge is a mystery ‘9 me. I didn’t know I was being robbed until she was about to leave the hall- way.” The police did not find Biddle’s-purse

Four clocks, three honest and one not, figured in the testimony of the case of Nick Maravich, a saloon keeper of 2001 South Third street, who was cited by Excise Commissioner Caulfield for opening his saleon before midnight Sun- day, Aug. 15. After Maravich’s brother, Ditmar, and Policeman Castor, had given their testi- mony about the time and about the clocks, and Maravich had told about 1n- structions he had given his brothér when to open the saloon, the Commis- sioner ended the controversy by revok- ing Maravich’s license. It was 11:35 p. m. when Policeman Castor, patroling his beat, saw lights shining from Maravich’s saloon. At first he thought burglars were in the place, but when he looked through a window and saw Ditmar behind the bar, he gasped for breath. Two Clocks in Saleon. He looked at his watch a second time and it read 11:35. He walked to the back of the saloon and saw men emerging with cans of beer. He walked into the saloon and saw two clocks. One was an honest clock, the other was not. A cheap dollar alarm clock behind the bar read 12:3. A big wall clock read 11:36. The policeman was not sure, but he asked Ditmar which time he was working by. Ditmar said the clock be- hind his back was correct. The policeman consulted his watch again, but still was not sure. So, with- out arousing suspicion, he hurried to Broadway, where he looked at the time of a big clock in front of a jeweler’s store. Three Clocks Agreed. The jeweler’s clock, the big saloon clock and his watch read the same, so the policeman concluded that Ditmar’s little clack was a cheater. So he made a report and the citation followed. The owner of the saloon testified that he had told hi. brother to open the sa- loon when he rang a bell, but where this bell was or other circumstances about it were not brought out and he lest his /i- cense.

BITTING STANDS FIRE TEST AND BEATS TESTER ROCKEFELLER BY ONE STROKE St. Louis -Clergyman Had No Chance to Lose His Temper, as Fortune Favored Him. Special to the Post Dispatch CLEVELAND, O., Aug. %#—John D. Rockefeller, engaged in putting the Rev. W. cC. Bitticg, former New York pastor and now of St. Louis, to what

links’’ yesterday, saw the pastor out ‘point him in a golf match over the Forest Hill course. The two, as part- ners, were defeated seven strokes by Capt. Levi Scofield of this city and J. Sweeney of Detroit. “You didn’t have a chance to get impatient, anyway,’’ said the oil king to his pastor. “You were goitig too nicely all the way.”’ Mr. Sweeney did the course in 4 strokes and his partner in 68, while Mr. Rockefeller took 62 strokes, one more than his clerical partner. “I ike the game and certainly en- joyed this set-to,” said Mr. Bitting, commenting on the afternoon's experi- ence. “Our opponents were a trifle too experienced for me, but it’s great ex- ercise.”’ The pastor accepted the invitation to compete at golf, knowing that Mr. Rockefeller, at the Euclid Avene Bap- tist Church Sunday, after praising Wr. Biting for his ability to daenver au ‘great sermon, had added: “One of the best places te test a minister is on a golf course. Even the best of them lose their patience there So I am going to give Mr. Bitting my final test Monday. If he stands the tegt as well as the many others he has stood in the last # years I shall consider him well-nigh perfect.”’ The pastor seemed to «stand it all right. He was leading his partner all the way and never had a chance to get peeved, 100 FEASTED ON A WATERMELON Employes of Ferguson-McKinney Co. Enjoyed Louisiana Fruit.

George Luker, Mayor of Staunton, Il., and incidentally boss of the Staunton Baseball Club of the Old Trolley League, may protest the result of the game between the Hyde Parks and Staunton Club, played at Kulage Park, last Sun- day, on the ground that Mitchell, who played right field for the Hyde Parks, is a class C player. The Trolley League has a rule that forbids clubs, after June 1, to play any man under contract to a club protected by the National Agreement. Early in the season a motion was put and car- ried at one of the meetings of the league that: players who returned from class C and D leagues could be played after June 1. Duke Sheehan, the regular right fielder of the Hyde Parks, went East not long ago and got a trial with the Eastern League. He failed to stick and returned tu St. Louis. Every one of the Trolley League clubs, with the exception of Staunton, agreed to let Sheehan play against them. In the game last Sunday Henry Kulage sent Mitchell to right field. Mitchell, it is claimed, played with the Houston club, but ,jumped his con- tract. He did not get a hit, but made one fine throw. According to President Fred Ziegen- hein and Tommy Cahill, secretary of the league, Luker has no grounds for protest, as they declare it is in the minutes of the meeting that Luker him- self voted to allow class C and D players to be used by the clubs. Luker will hardly protest when the minutes are shown him, although he has stated that he will. The matter would not come up, at any rate, until the next meeting of the club, which will be some time early next month.

The for- mer said he did not believe Frank Far- rell had been quoted correctly and took the latter’s alleged assertion that ‘‘Silk’’ had been prejudiced against the New York team a: a joke. “T call plays the way I see them,” said O’Loughlin, “and everyone who knows me knows that to be a fact. I haven’t a thing agarnst President Far- rell or any of his players. I was right in calling Parent safe at third base Saturday. I am not prejudiceé against the club or any player and I believe Farrell will deny that he ever said the things attributed to him.” Manager Stallings hurried to the office of President Ban Johnson and vowed he had not wired Farrell te the effect that the New York club had been robbed. \ DRUMMOND JONES FAVORED IN KANSAS CITY TOURNEY KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 24.—The sec- ond round of singles in the Missouri Valley tennis tournament was played Tuesday on the courts of the Kansas City Athletic club.

HAT young Cardinal recruit, re- 7 cently bought from Decatur, 4 Mr. Barkwell, will probably make a noise in the big league world. Koney stole two bases, tallied two runs and made five hits in eight times at bat Monday. Just a little bit better and he’ll be ripe for a trade, Roger. Mike Cantillon ‘once offered the pick of his team to Detroit for Claude Ross- man. That seems to classify Mr. Ross- man better than words. Why not put in Arthur Griggs to pitch? He seems to help every other position in which he has played for the Browns to the present time. As a false alarm Fielder Jones is bat- ting about 60 points ahead of Johnny Kling. Having caused flutters of agree- able surprise in Chicage, St. Louis and Cleveland, when the announcements were made that he would become mana- ger of the respective clubs, at various times, Fielder is now billeted on the Washington team by enterprising space fillers. As usual for his services Fielder is reported to be demanding half of the club. The better half, too Just ag if he were not already married. Eddie Collings insists on keeping up that runaway race for the American League batting leadership. Monday it was three hits in five times at bat for the young Athletic infielder, and his record was helped out by three runs tal- lied and a stolen base. Tyrus Cobb and Lawrence Lajoie will have to go to whip and spur to catch this flying leader. - Collings is the consistent batting surprise of the year. Unlike most of the “flashes” In both leagues, he seems sure to remain in his present form throughout the season. T ing. The arrangement of the fight schedule is not convincing. Even wig ut the evidence that Johnson and Langford are to figure in two of the important bouts, one is inclined to infer the presence of a “cullud pwhszon”’ in the wood pile. For example: Early in September Stanley Ketchel fights Sam Langford a limited affair in New York. Almost immediately afterwards Ketchel fights Jack Johnson, world’s champion, out on the other coast. Following that, Jack Johnson fights Jim Jeffries for the world’s championship. Setting the Scenes. HE pugilistic outlook is not pleas- Now each of these matches, taken separately ic all right. But in sequence they assume an unhealthy hue. Knowing the inherent carelessness of both fight promoters and fighters for money, a fault which has since been overcome by careful training and much self-sacrifice, we would suspect nothing wrong. However, reliable information states that it is best for all concerned (except the onlookers who, of course, count little) that the two lead-up fights result about as follows: Langford-Ketchel: Even up at the end of 10 rounds of “terrific milling.” Re- feree unable to separate the merits of JOHNSON ACCEPTS PRACTICE MATCH LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. M—In a telegram to Tom McCarey, a lecal fight promoter, Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight pugilist, accepted tonight an offer to fight the winner of the bat- tle which will take place here tomorrow night between Jim Barry and Jack Burns. It is announced that Johnson will re- ceive the heavy end of the purse. The fight will be for 10 rounds, with no de cision. The match will take place on either the 2lst or the 24th of September.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. %.—Trim and ready, Jim Barry and Jack Burns are resting today waiting fer the gong which will start them on a 10-round bat- tle which will be the feature at Naud Junction pavilion tonight. Because of the fact that Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight champion, wired Promoter Tom McCarey iast night that he would take on the winner some time next month, the fight tonight is of supreme importance to both principals. To Burns, the Salinas man, it will be the event of hia life, for, by defeating Barry, he will not only raise himself above the class of preliminary fighters, but win the opportunity te help Jim Jeffries remain in retirement by beating the black. BELMONT BRINGS HORSE HOME FROM ENGLISH TURF NEW YORK, Aug. %—August Bel- mont’s racehorse Fair Play, which was the best 3-year-old racer on the Ameri- can turf last season; has arrived here from England. The animal, which had an unsuccessful seagon on the English turf, because of the heavy weights with which he was handicapped, wi!) be put inte training at once for the fal! races In this country.

Only a finish fight (at Jim Coffroth’s Mission Street Arena, general admission $5, ring-side seats $25) can settle the question of merit between these men. Match made while house is still in uproar of enthusiasm. - Ketchel-Johnson: Won by Johnson, knockout in sixteenth round. Only 50 pounds advantage in weight enabled the | big negro to batter down his undersized opponent’s guard, after himself sub- mitting to terrible punishment at the hands of the game white boy. Ketchel’s showing in the face of the handicap is remarkable and he will be a strong fa- vorite over Langford when they meet for the finish fight at James Coffroth’s arena, etc. T ehampionship battle very nicely.

Hughey Jennings never keeps the morta] remains of baseball players long after the period for embalming has ar- rived. Look at his present infield and try and recognize in it the one that was tearing up the sod at the start of the season. + gone Vernon Is Retrograding. HAT pioneer of Missouri tennis, Orlando Vernon of Kansas City and St. Joseph, seems to have back in his form _ this year. Vernon is one man who has helped build up tournament tennis in Missouri from nothing to its present good standing. He takes part in every event and sacrifices himself and his affairs for the sake of sport whenever it is demanded. This season he has had little opportunity to train and has gone down to defeat in the tourneys at St. Joseph, St. Louls and Kansas City, where once he was either the winner or runner up in all of them. Vernon's defeat in the first round at Kansas City, Monday, was no surprise to those who watched his work in the Central tournament here. Vernon was the first winner of the Central championship in 1908. It is prob- ably the last time le will hold this honor, as the younger set that is mak- ing good in tennis today has nothing else to do but practice. Vernon is a hard working man of affairs. Missouri tennis owes many thanks to Vernon for his enthusiasm and interest in the game at a time when it needed a sponsor.

ST, LOUIS BOAT. TU MEET DIXIE IN MATCH RACE] Independence II Will Try for Speed Boat Championship if Craft Can Be Shipped. quvegeinrien It is probable that the Independenc* II, the St. Louis speed boat, will get a crack at the Dixie II, the present champion of the United States, and other fast Eastern flyers,:if it is found possible to express the vessel] east with- out serious danger of injury te the boat. Edwin C. Koenig, owner of the Inde- pendence II, has received a special in- vitation from H. 8. Gambel, secretary of the New York Motor Boat Club, to enter his boat for the races to be held on the Hudson River, Sept. 15-16. Koe- nig has wired to Gambel asking him his opinion as to the best way to get the boat east. The firm that built the 215 horsepower engine for Koenig’s boat is anxious that he enter and take @ chance at the Dixie II. They have promised him a corps of skilled me- chanics to put the boat in perfect trim as soon as he ships it east. There will not be much difference -in speed between the Dixie and Inde- pendence. The Dixie has not shown over 82 miles an hour so far on fresh water, although on an ocean bay the boat went over 3% miles an hour. The St. Louis boat is a higher-powered speeder than the Dixie and both are the same length, a trifle under # feet. At Peoria recently over a mile the Inde- pendence made a trifle less than a 9- mile an hour average with the engine not sitting properly on its base because of an accident when the craft hit a snag in the free-for-all. A committee from the Centennial Cele- bration Association will attend a meet- ing at the St. Louls Power Boat Asso- clation Tuesday night for the purpose of discussing the best plans for the motor boat races to be held one of the days during Centennial] week. It is almost certain that if the committee will agree to put up a suitable trophy for speed boats, the Scripps of Detroit, Hoosier Boy of Cincinnati, Lamb IV of Burling- ton, Io., and Masch& of Fort Madison. lo., all fast racers, will come to 8t. Louls to buck the Independence II. Races for cabin boats and other con- tests will no doubt be ——s for at the meeting also. M’LOUGHLIN IS EXPECTED TO WIN NEWPORT MATCH ‘NEWPORT, R. IL. Aug. %4.—With per- fect weather conditions prevailing the sixth round of the National Tennis teur- nament at the Casino Courts was start- ed this morning. R. H. Palmer, champion of New Jer- sey, met the undefeated Pacific Coast champion, Maurice B. McLoughlin, in the first match of the day. McLoughlin was expected to pull out a victory. The other matches were between W. J. Clothi& of Philadelphia and BH. H. Whitney of Boston, W. B. Cargin Jr. of New York against Thomas _C. Bundy of Les Angeles and F. C. Inman of New York against G.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. RESNAHAN seems more intent on ~ sizing up his players and shaping up a team for next year than on winning games now. He has it all doped out that it doesn’t make much diifer- ence where the Cardinals finish this year if by constant experiment he can hammer out a team next year that will be a real factor in the struggle. That is the reason Melter, instead of Sailee went in the first game in the double header against the Brooklyns after it became evident Raleigh's lack of control was fatal. With the winning of games as the main object, Melter and Raleigh would have been saved for the Bostons, aa- mittedly weaker opponents than the Brooklyns. But after Raleigh had been touched up fer four hits, three of them in the first Inning, had passed two men and made a wild pitch that let Mo- Miveen score, for a grand total of four runs, Bresnahan, after sending Lush in to bat for Raleigh, sent Melter i t finish the pitching despite the walloping the Superbas gave that young man Sat- urday. Melter did better than Raleigh, for in the several innings he was on the job he gave but four hits and two passes. But three of the hits came in one in- ning, the seventh, and one of them was a healthy two-bagger, so three more runs came across. No kind of pitching, though, could have saved the game, as Bell had the Cardinals at his mercy. Four hits was all they could gather and two of these came to Konetchy. Neither Ellis nor Phelps, usually relia- ble batters, could land it in safe terri- tory, Barbeau and Evans getting the other two hits. Bell started a little wild and it looked very promising in the first inning when he passed two men ind was found fer one gafety, filling the bases. But he steadied down then and at no time thereafter did the Cardianis even threaten. In the second game Pastorius was the easiest kind of a proposition. Beebe was pitted against him and it was a case of National vs. Minor League. Thero were a tota] of 15 hits gathered, in- cluding a double by Barbeau end a double and a triple by Evans. Barbeau, Ellis, Delehanty, Murphy and Storks only got one hit, .the others two or more. Evans and Koney each got three. Alperman was lucky to get away with a two-base allowance on his swat in the seventh inning of the opening game. It was mighty close to foul when it sailed over third base and struck the ground so close to the foul line that Klem over at the pitcher’s stand hail to guess. He guessed ‘“‘fair,”” and two runs came in. The Cardinals did some bad throwing. Delehanty, playing second, and Storke at short, did not have the range to

Conant By Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 24.—The ex- cise tax upon corporations imposed at the special session of Congress has a significance far beyond its revenue features, according to Frederick W. Lehmann of St. Louis, president of the American Bar Association, who deliv-

ered his annual address at the meeting of the organization today. “It is of highest importance as the opening door to regulation which will broaden vith the years,’ said Mr. Leh- mann. “There is in this no invasion of merely private affairs. A business conducted by corporate methods is not a private business. Corporate powers are not natural vights ana the general wel- fare is the only justification for the grant of them. The right of public su- pervision inheres in them and is as broad as the interests that may be af- fected.”’ Mr. Lehmann declared that the trust is obsolete. ‘Nobody now is so ignorant or so de- filant of law as to think of forming one,” said he, “‘and it is very easy to do much better. Out of the ashes of the ‘trust’ has sprung the holding company, the ‘trust’ in an improved, perfected form. The holding company does and is de- signed to do exactly what was done by the ‘trust,’ and does it more efficiently. Is it under the ban of the law? Cem tainly not in all of the states.’’ Montana’s Mistake. Mr. Lehmann mentioned the prohibi- tion in Montana against trusts. “Having slain the senile and debili- tated ‘trust,’ they made invulnerapbie through legitimacy its youthful and sturdy successor, the holding company,” said he. The speaker said these two laws stand together, with the result that any industry or business of the State may be legally monpolized, pro- vided it is well and thoroughly done, and no half-way measures are em- ployed. This condition of the law ex- ists in other states, he asserted. Struggle Is for Betterment. The speaker gave a review of the en- actments of Congress, and the various states, and said: ‘“‘We find in our legis- lation some enactments that are crude, Superfluous and misdirected. and some that may wear the mask of false pre- tense, but in the main it is well intend- ed and measurably efficient of itg pur- pose. “The striving manifested is for a purer public life, a more perfect’ admin- istration of justice, a kindlier dealing with the unfortunate and the erring, a more general education of the people, the protection of every man in the earn- ings of his labor, the betterment of ma- terial conditions, the conservation of health, the promotion of morals and more equal opportunities for all in the struggle of life. In an effort of this kind we may expect some mistakes and can well afford to bear with them.”’ MILLION CLUB TO LOOK INTO FREIGHT RATE TO SOUTHWEST A committee to investigate a report that freight rates on certain commodi- ties from St. Louls to Texas are nearly three times as much as from New York to Texas will be appointed by President Charles F. Wenneker of the Million Population Club. Hé was given au- thority to appoint the committee at a meeting Monday night. Frank A. Hill, president of the Hill Type Machinery Co., reported that he had been quoted rates of $1.12 to $1.29 on stereotype aid _ linotype machinery shipped to Houston, while the same freight was handled from New York at 4) cents. Capt. Frank Gaienne, a member of the committee to consider the proposed municipal ferry and levee street car loop, said that the committee probably would report adversely on both pro- jects, as neither was practicable.

They May Accept $1000 and Retire—New Pension Rule to Come Before Voters. ee ne How old is a poficeman? _ That fs one of the few questions that it is no use to ask a policeman. He is supposed to be able to tell inquir- ere where Carnegie Park is or what time the next balloon goes up. The manual requires him to stand still long enough to let anyone look at his number who #0 desires, and, if anyone has the te- merity to ask it, he ts further required to state his name. But there is nothing in the manual paying that he must tell even his own age, much iess that he shal] an- ewer. so comprehensive a question as “How old is a policeman?’ Ne Limit on Time Service. Members of the Police Board, who are “supposed to know everything that a policeman ought to know, or to know where to look to find it, would be stumped by the naruguaang They ad- mitted this whe , -r one of their lit- tle police station mmformals a _ few nights ago, they talked over possible ways of fixing an age limit for the force. Not to make the men retire at a certain age. it was explained, but to provide for ‘those who wished to quit. There is nothing tn the manual now to keep a policeman from being 100 years old, if he can live that long. But’ no member of the present force svill confess to more than 70. Some of them, their. comradés’ ‘intimate, stop- ped counting at 70, as -a social favor- tte is supposed to ao at 2% or there- abouts. . Men retiring from’ the ‘force at or efter 70 years, if they have served long and continuously enough, .receive $1000 : Association. That is the only inducement there is to quit, and if a man preférs to remain at work rather than to accept $1000 the ‘Board’ cannot remove him. It can reduce him to patrotman, but if he is only a “petrolman iin the first place, ‘there is néthing to reduce him to. ~ -Ttecan give him a turnkey’s plac: if ‘is one vacant, but thesé ‘jobs @re few and the vacancies infpeguent.

Sam Case, sleepless guardian of his home at Midlané Heights, St. Louis County, beleaguered for nearly a fort- night by the husband ana father-in-law of a sick woman he has sheltered, said Tuesday that he believed he wounded one * t's mcn with his shotgun Mon- day night. “IT was walking around my house at 10 o’clock last night,” said Case, ‘and saw three men prowling in the woods about 100 feet away. Two,of them look- ed tc me like Everett Fyke and his father, Charles Fyke. Who the other was I have no idea. ° “IT fired right at tne men,” he said. “Then I saw one of them fall, and the other two bend over and- pick him up. Whether the one who fell was one of the Fykes I couldn’t make out. They were gone a minute later.’’ Sheriff Grueninger was summoned by telephone by Case after the shootiny, and took two of his deputies and tw» constables with him in his automobile to the house, which is near the Creve Coeur electric line. The five mén, with Case, searched the woods for -n hour, but found no trace of the trio. Woman Fears to Leave. Mrs. Everett Fyke, aged 19, wife of Everett Fyke, has recovered from the illness which caused her to be left, a week ago last Thursday, at the Case home. She is unwilling to leave the Case house, being in deadly fear of her husband and his father. She has appealed to her father and brother, who live in Beechgrove, Ind., near Ind‘anapolis, to rescue her from her’present plight and take her home. The Fykes have been persistent in the effort to get the woman, and take her with them on a cross-country jour- ney. At the same time they are keeping out of the way of the authorities, as the elder Fyke is wanted by the Indian- apolis police on the charge of attempt- ing to kill his wife there. The first attempt to take the woman away was made while she was still dan- gerously ill, and resulted in the arrest of Alva Leonard, friend and traveling companion of the Fykos. Keeps Peace With Gun. His trial on the charge of disturbing the peace was.continued Tuesday in Justice Stobie’s Court at Wellston. The Fykes and Leonard stopped their Wagon at Case’s home Aug. 12, and {asked that the young wife be taken in for a few days. She was suffering so that Case and his wife acceded to the request.” They called a physician, who ordered that she be kept quiet. In carrying out .the physician’s or- ders, Case has guarded his home by night with a shotgun, and friends and neighbors have aided him by standing eh in the daytime.

MOTHER'S LOVE MADE HER STEAL NCUBATOR GAG} Mrs. Stella Barclay Tells of Nursing Puny Infant to Health and Strength. - WAS MERELY SHADOW “Ask Any-Woman How Much She Would Love Such a Child,’”’ Says Foster- Mcther. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 244.—It was the story of true love for a child which did not return her affections that Mrs. Stella Barclay, the foster-mother of little Marian Roberta Bleakley, the “In- cubator Baby,” told at the police head- quarters today. Then, as if the con- fession had relieved her of indiffer- ence, she talked freely of the incidents surrounding the kidnaping of the child last Saturday in Topeka, Mrs. Barclay, who is a handsome, im- posing ‘woman, spoke without apparent rancor and in a firm voice which con- veyed a general impression of sincerity. By her side, she was placed in the matron’s room. stood Marian Bleakley (or Barclay) the child for whom she is sufferin imprisovument. Marian wore the blue linen suit Mr. Barclay dressed her in after the kid naping, and in her arms were a small Teddy bear and a handsome jointed doll, which Mrs. Barclay had bethought herself to purchase before starting on the trip. Nursed Child to Health. “Good gracious,’’ Mrs. Barclay ex- claimed, when a visitor wondered at the depth of affection her actions would indicate she bears to the child. “You wonder at my love for this baby?’ she asked: “That’s because you're a man. Ask any woman how much she would love a child she had watched over day and night for a year, nursing its faint flicker of life into a flame and bringing its puny body to health. Ask a woman. “When I took Marian she was just a shadow of a baby. If you had seen her when she lay clenching her fists and gasping for breath in the incubator at the St. Louis World’s Fair, you woula wonder that she is alive today. Physi- clans say it was nothing except my care and love which finally made her sturdy and healthy as any youngster, Yes, I guess I can say that to mothers, any- how. Yet you wonder why I love her.” Mrs. Barclay paused for a moment and patted the head of the little girl. The child smilingly looked up at her. “Tt's remarkable she isn’t afraid of me,’’ said the woman. “I don’t know all that Mrs. Bleakley has said to poison her mind against me, but what Marian said to me when I picked her up the other night tells me a great deal. She didn’t scream or cry or anything. She just looked up at me with those great, big blue eyes and said, ‘Are you Mrs. Larclay?’ ”’ ‘**Yes, darling,’ I answered. “**Are you going to kill me now”? she asked quietly. "Why, no, baby,’ kill you.’ “ “But they told me you were going to kili me,’ she answered. ““‘My! That was hard to bear. I eom- forted her as well as I could and final- ly convinced her I had no idea of harming her. “That was not the most difficult part, either,”’ Mrs. Barclay continued. ‘Five weeks ago I went to Topeka to see the child, if possible. At that time I had not decided to take her to Missouri. But what I found brought me to a de- cision. Recognized Child at Once. “First, 1 discovered the time she was let out from kindergarten for recess. With this information I went to a cor- ner near the school where she was play- ing. How did I recognize her? How would I recognize my own face if I saw it in the mirror? “I knew her in a moment. Presently I coaxed her over to where I was standing. “She was very poorly dressed and I felt angry immediately . the people who would keep her that way. “Childlike, she told me all about her- self. She said Mrs. Bleakley had warned her against a Mrs. Barclay and said I would kill her if I ever got her. Of course she didn't know who I was, but that didn’t make it any nicer for me. Then and there I made up my mind to take her away. Not to have the child I raised almost from the mo- ment of its birth was bad enough, but to feel that her mind every day was be- ing poisoned against me was the final drop. I came here and made my ar- rangements. You know the rest.” Rising from her pillow, Mrs. Barclay put her arms about the child. Marian neither returned nor visibly objected to the caress. With a sigh, the foster mother sank back. A question was asked about the flight from Topeka. The woman's eyes brightened again. I wanted to do,” she said, “was into Missouri.

ENGINEER DIES AS GIRL SAW HIM KILLED IN A DREAM

Gertrude Healey Had Vision of Her Father Slain in Wreck Day Before It Hap- pened at Washington; Mo.

ee ee The death of Michael Healy, Missour! Pacific engineer, who was killed in a wreck two miles west of Washington, Mo.. Monday, was foretold to his daugh- ter, Gertrude, In a vision Sunday, Miss Healy says. She told a Post-Dispatch reporter that she saw the wreck in a dream just as it occurred. The Healy home is at 2849 St. Vincent avenue. Healy was at home Sunday. Miss Gertrude lay down in the after- noon to take a nap. She dreamed ef the wreck, she says, while she slept. She says she saw her father on his engine, traveling at high speed. Then she saw ahead of him a freight train. It was trying to get into a siding, but the:e was not time for the swiftly rush- ing passenger train to check its speed and avert a crash. Sees the Awful Wreck. She says she saw her father, his face white and overspread with a look of terror, close the throttle and throw on the brakes. She saw the two trains strike. She saw her father’s body hurled to the ground. Then, she says, everything became black. . But the dream was not ended, she says. She saw her father in his coffin and saw her friends and his gatheri.ig about it, solemnly and sadly.

She says she said nothing to her father when she awakened, but kept her vision a seoret, although it was with dismal forebodings that she bade him fare- well when he left home to report for duty Monday. His usual run was from St. Louis to Sedalia. Monday he waa to take the Kansas City train, which leaves at 12:20. The wreck occurred at 2:15 p. m., as Miss Gertrude had dreamed it. Friend of Jay Gould. Healy was'657 years old and had been with the Missouri Pacific for 32 years. He was a favorite with the late Jay Gould and whenever Gould was on the Western lines he asked that Healy be placed in charge of the locomotive tha drew his train. Sometimes Healy wouid remain in this special work for weeks at a time. After Jay Gould died his children a:- ways asked that Healy be their «n- gineer when they were in the West. He had several gifts from the Gould family, among them a couple of hand- some umbrellas and an autograph photo of Miss Helen Gould. ; . Besides his daughter, Healy lef: a widow and three brothers—David, James J. and John Healy, all of Chicago. They arrived in St. Louis Monday to make the funeral arrangements.

eee eran crete A ” SPREADING REVOLT. Pops ; - Ee OO < RE RP REI ENGLAND'S TAX ntvoubTidls, The British House of Commons has approved the revolutionary proposals of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lloyd-George, to tax land values in tha United Kingdom. The parliamentary strug- gle has been bitter and the campaign full of en- érgy and significance. It was Lord Roseberry who characterized the Lloyd-George scheme as revolutionary when he remarked after the reading of the measure, “This is not a budgét; it fs a revolution.” Although rad- ical in several proposals, the revolutionary clauses related to the taxation of land values. Adopting the single-tax principle, Mr. Lloyd-George pro- posed a tax of 20 per cent on the increased value of land, the “unearned increment,” as Henry George designated it; a tax of 10 per cent on the benefits accruing from the termination of leases, atid a duty of a halfpenny in the pound on thé capital value of undeveloped land and unmined minerals. The tax » unmined minerais has been shifted to mining royalties and rents and some modifications have been made in other minor points, but the single tax principle is accepted. As an entering wedge to the breaking up of large landed estates and to the checking of land holding for speculation, the land taxes are des- perately opposed by land Owners and the allied in- terest of wealth and caste. It is even hinted that the House of Lords may take the unprecedented course of opposing the Commons on a measure of finance. When Lloyd-George accepted the chan- cellorship he is said to have remarked that he regarded it as his opportunity “to do some- thing,” because the Lords would not dare block financial measures. Should they oppose this measure, the issue would probably go to the coun- try with the prospect of one of the most interest- ing campaigns in the history of English politics. But the threat of opposition in the House of Lords IT 6 TR "Yetines. They will Rover ap a humming bitd docs ovet a blossom, and their possibilitie. aré limit- less for Work or pleasure. Two Americans have been most successful in the production of the helicopter type of flying machine. Mr. Berliner, inventor of a telephone transmitter and of the Victor talking machine, and Mr. J. Newton Williams, who invented 4 typewriter and other useful macl.:nes, have by their united efforts produced a helicopte-: with a vertical thrust of 610 pounds, What this means will be better understood by considering that the total thrust of the motor Herring aeroplane is 250 pounds. A much great- er thrust is needed for the helicopter type, which depends entirely upon that thrust; having no planes or supporting surfaces. These inventors and others, such as H. B. Gam- meter, a Cleveland inventor, and M. Cornu, the well-known French helicopter inventor, are strenuously working to perfect their machines.

= = i i STREET CAR MANNERS.’ Writers of letters to the Post-Dispatch have been passing some severe remarks about the street car manners of St. Louis men. The charges against them run from lack of chivalry and thoughtfulness to rudeness, and one writer—a woman—mindful of her Darwin, suggests that our men are not yet completely “evolved.” It is a vexatious problem. Efforts to fix hard and fast rules of conduct are vain. The street car, American in origin, developed under necessity and adapted to public needs, is thoroughly democratic. It is the final exemplification of the first-come- first-served and each-for-nimself rules of this country of individualistic impulse, where, as a foreigner expressed it, everybody steps on every- body else’s toes. Moreover, a man, paying for his ride, is entitled to a seat if he can get it and to keep it if it pleases him. In the politico-economic scheme there is no distinction between the privileges of sex. Men may be as tired as women; they may have infirmities or bundles or even better rea- sons. But no reasons will excuse failure to observe the rules which govern gentlemanly conduct. Neither weariness nor impédimenta will blind chivalry to the presence of women. Infirmities will not excuse a mad rush for entrance in front of waiting women. Decency will not sit in indifference when age makes its silent appeal. Observation serves to confirm the view that St. Louis men are very lax in their street car man- ners. There are apparently three reasons: Pay- as-you-enter cars, Which invite haste; custom, which is very bad; and indifference to the rules of common politeness, which is worse, and prob- ably incurable.

eteehmeetes oe Our Manners in Public. To the Editor of the Post-Digpatch. Are Our manners in public all that they should be? Do they always appear to be in keeping with our boasted higher civilization? I noticed in your paper a few days ago a quotation from a sermen by that noted divine, Dr. Quayle of Chicago, in which he said he could judge a man’s Christianity better by observing him in a crowded street car than by listening to him through a long discussion on the- ology. Is it not a fact that the people of the large cities, and in St. Leuis in particular, somestimes show a woful lack of that higher culture known as good manners, especially to strangers? How will it strike the stranger who is under the necessity of asking some information or direction of some one of us and be compelled to stand and wait until we have finished a long conversation with a newsboy or some- one else about “the game,’’ Or some other subject which seems to be of such interest to us, and after we have finished our talk, if we have not forgotten the man was there, we may answer and very likely not give him. the information he asked? I do not be- lieve we notice that we are not always genteel and courteous to each other and our manner and conduct sometimes seem to be inconsistent. A man need de surprised if a young lady in the elevator does not feel especially flattered to see him so graciously remove his hat as he enters when she knows that as soon as the elevator reaches the street floor he will break and run and beat her to the street car and take possession of the only remaining seat and hold it until the end of the trip, ahd if he gives her or the office any further thought he will very likely have a mental argument with his conscience, con- tending that there were ne ladies in the car except shoppers, who should have been home before the rush home came on, ignoring the real fact that from 5 to 7 p. m. most of the ladies and girls in the car are hard-working people and are entitled to eur kind- est consideration.

Concerning the unemployed in Aug. 20th People’s Column, I cannot help expressing my sympathy for the young lady who is such a faithful wage slave and in her slavery has allowed her mind to become so stunted as te denounce 9 out of 100 of her fellow- workers because she has heard of a few cases of so- called laziness. Dear friend, if we were all like your- self the workers would make absolutely no prog- ress. Yes, we want and must have the individuals who are not satisfied to Work night and day for their employers without a whimper, as they are doing their part in paving the way te make conditions better for future generations. Having worked as you say for 2 years without having lest 24 hours, I am at a loss to understand how yeu can talk intelligently on the unemployed problem. Wake up, sister work- er, and den’t condemnt, but help lift up. A SISTER WORKER. _ Forest Park Playgrounds. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Park Commissioner Scanian’s idea ef turning the Triple A grounds into public geif links is impracti- cable. The Triple A grounds\are today so crewded that they are accommoda all the public they can. Triple A members being also* “public.” As Triple A members are practically paying a special tax for the privilege of using their grounds, the proposition to turn their links over free does net cause them any sorrow. But where does the dear public come in? If Scanlan wishes to do something for the public, why doesn’t he take the big waste spaces of the World's Fair grounds and make ten- nis courts there? He could make an i8-hole goit links as well and give ® to 3 baseball diamonds and it would not cost one-half the money which he has spent on that a speedway in the e

tion and that its inquisitorial features confer upon the National Government a power that may be abused. That is a view which Democrats generally a gen- eration or more ag, might have held. But of late the people have seen gov- ernment in partnership with corpora- tions, government taking upon itself the task of enriching corporations by means of tariffs and other bounties, and the leaders of the party chiefly responsible for government filling their political war-chests by means of contributions from these interests. The corporation tax as a tax is not particularly offen-| sive to Judge Parker. Why should the power which it confers to examine into the affaire of the corporate gluttons whose operations are always open to suspicion be regarded as specially dan- gerous? Privilege is deep-seated in our laws and in the habits of thought of the people. Privilege thrives best In secrecy. In fact, without secrecy we should have had few laws designed to enrich some- body at the expense of everybody. Se- crecy and partiality go hand in hand. They threaten states as well as indi- viduals. If the National Government is to confer priceless favors upon selected persons and industries, publicity cannot fail to be of service to all who are hon- est and all who would know the truth. Theoretically this may be an alterna- tive which Democracy would have avoided, but practically it furnishes Democracy with the only remedy im- mediately available for a far-reaching abuse. Cory -rations receiving no public favors need not fear official scrutiny. Corporations owin,; their very lives per- haps to unjust laws may well be appre- hensive. If the Republic and the De- mocracy can tolerate the creation of these pampered and at times menacing dependents they will survive the en- forcement of a law which may reveal the extent of the privilege conferred and the unworthiness of its recipients. Plutocracy and Republicanism have fought {deal Democracy to a standstill. Practical Democracy has not yet been subdued. The true Democrat now and hereafter must us) every legitimate In- strumentality that comes to his hand to promote publicity. In that alone fs there hope for justice and true progress. It will arm the Democrats of the future for the struggles that are yet to come.

From the New York Tribu It was a good idea to utilize the bat- tleship Iena, which was virtually ruined a year or se ago by an explosion, for an armor test, but before drawing posi- tive conclusions from the damage recent. ly inflicted upon her turrets the French Government will doubtless wish to satis- fy iteelf that the plates which have new behaved unsatisfactorily were al! that the contracts demanded.

(Copyright. 1908, by Doubk day, Page & Co.) rages of drink; and his aquiline, well- shaped nose and small, square cleft chin almost gave distinction to his looks. Ranse sat on the foot of his cot and looked at him curiously. ‘Where did you come from—have you got any home or folks anywhere?” ‘“‘Me?” answered Curly. “First thing I can remember, I belong to a big, lazy hobo called Beefsteak Charley. He sent me around to houses to beg. I wasn't hardly big enough to ae the latch of a gate.” *Did he ever tell you how he got you?” “Once when he was sober he said he bought me for an old six-shooter and six bits from a band of drunken Mexi- can sheepshearers. That’s all I know.” “All right,” said Ranse. “I reckon you’re a maverick for certain. I’m going to put the Rancho Cibolo brand on you. I'll start you to work in one of the camps tomorrow.’’ “Work!” sniffed Curly, disdainfully. “What do you take me for? Do you think I’d chase cows, and hop-skip-and- jump around after crazy sheep like that pink and yellow guy at the store says these Reubs do? Forget it.” “Oh, you'll like it when you get used to it,” said Ranse. “Yes, I'll send you up one more drink by Pedro. I think you'll make a first-class cowpuncher be- fore I get through with you.” ‘Me?’ said Curly. “I pity the cows you set me to chaperon. They can go chase themselves. Don’t forget my nightcap, please, boss.’’ Ranse paid a visit to the store befere going to the house. “Any of the boys from the San Ga- briel camp riding in early this morn- ing ?”’ : ‘Long Collins,” said Sam briefly. ‘Tell him,” said Ranse, “to take that tramp out to camp with him and keep him till I get there.” Curly was sitting on his blankets in the San Gabriel camp cursing talentedly when Ranse Truesdell] rode up and dis- mounted on the next afternoon. The cowpuachers were ignoring the stray. He was grimy with dust and black dirt. His clothes were making their last stand in favor of the conventions. Ranse went up to Buck Rabb, the camp boss, and spoke briefly. : ‘‘He’s a plumb buzzard,’’ said Buck. ‘He won't work, and he’s the low- downest passel of inhumanity I ever see. I didn’t know what you wanted done with him, Ranse, so I just let him set. That seems to suit him. He’s. been condemned to death by the boys a doz- en times, but I told ’em maybe you was savin’ him for torture.”’ Ranse took off his coat. “T’ve got a hard job before me, Buck, I reckon, but it has to be done. I’ve got to"make a man out of that thing. That’s what I’ve come to camp for.” He went up to Curly. “Brother,” he said, “don’t you think if you had a bath it would allow you to take a seat in the company of your fellow-man with- less injustice to the atmosphere?” “Run away, farmer,” said Curly, sar- donically. “‘Willie will send for nursey when he feels like having his tub.’’ The charco, or water hole, was 12 yards away. Ranse took one of Curly’s ankles and dragged him like a sack of potatoes to the brink. Then with the strength and sleight of a hammer- thrower he hurled the offending mem- ber of society far into the lake. Curly crawled out and up the bank spluttering like a porpoise. Ranse met him with a piece of soap and a coarse towel in his hands. “Go to the other end of the lake and use this,” he said. “Buck will give you some dry clothes at the wagon.” The tramp obeyed without protest. By the time supper was ready he .had re- turned to camp. He was hardly to be recognized in his new blue shirt and brown duck clothes. Ranse observed him out of the corner of his eye. “Lordy, I hope he ain’t a coward,”’ he was saying to himself. “I hope he won’t turn out to he a coward.” His doubts were soon allayed. Curley walked straight to where he stood. His light-blue eyes were biazing. ‘“‘Now I’m clean,” he said meaningly, ‘“‘maybe jou’ll talk to me. Think you've got a picnic here, do you? You clod- hoppers think you can run over a man because you know he can’t get away. All right. Now, what do you think of that?’’ Curly planted a stinging slap against |: Ranse’s left chéek. Ranse smiled happily. The cowpunchers talk to this day of the battle that followed. Somewhere in his restless tour of the cities Curly had acquired the art of self-defense. The ranchman was equipped only with the splendid strength and equilibrium of perfect health and the endurance conferred by decent liv- ing. The two attributes nearly matched. There were no formal rounds. At last the fiber of the clean liver prevailed. The last time Curly went down from one of the ranchman’s awkward but powerful blews he remained on the grass, but looking up with an un- quenched eye. Ranse went to the water barrel and washed the red from a cut on hig chin in the stream from the faucet. On his face was a grin of satisfaction. Much benefit might accrue to edu- cators and moralists if they could know the details of the cirriculum of reclama- tion through which Ranse put his waif during the month that he spent in the San Gabriel camp. The ranchman had ne fie theories to work out—perhaps his whole stock of pedagogy embraced only a knowledge of’ horebreaking and a belief in heredity. The cowpunchers saw that their boss Retiated hix treba Che late” was trying to make a man out of the strange animal that he had sent among them; and they tacitly organized them- selves into a faculty of assistants. But their system was their own. Curly’s first lesson stuck. He became on friendly and then on intimate térms with soap and water. And the thing that pleased Ranse most was that his ‘‘gsubject”’ held his ground at each suc- cessive higher step. But the steps were sometimes far apart. Once he got at the quart. bottle of whisky kept sacredly in the grub tent for rattlesnake bites, and spent six- teen hours on the grass magnificently drunk. But when he staggered to his feet his first move was to find his soap and towel and start for the charco. And once, when a treat came from the ranch in the form of a basket of fresh tomatoes and young onions, Curly de- voured the entire consignment before the punchers reached the camp at sup- per time. And then the punchers punished him in their own way. For three days they did not speak to him, except to reply to his own questions or remarks. And they spoke with absolute and unfail- ing politeness. They played tricks on one another; they pounded one another hurtfully and affectionately; they heap- ed upon one another’s heads friendly curses ‘and obloquy, but they were po- lite to Curly. He saw it, and it stung him as much as Ranse hoped it would. There came a night that brought e cold, wet norther. Wilson, the young- est of the outfit, had lain in camp two days, ill with a fever. When Joe got up at daylight to begin breakfast he found Curly sitting asleep against a | wheel of the grub wagon with only a saddle blanket around him, while Curly’s blankets were stretched over Wilson to protect him from the rain and wind. | Three nights after that Curly relied himself in his blanket and went to sieep. Then the other punchers rose up softly and began te make preparations. Ranse saw Long Collins tle a rope to the horn of a saddle. Others were get- ting out their six-shooters. “Boys,” said Ranse, “I'm much obliged. I was hoping you would. But I didn't like to ask.”’ Half a dozen six-shooters began to pop—awful yells rent the air—Long Collings galloped wildly across Curly’s bed, dragging the saddle after him. That was merely their way of gently} awaking their victim. Then they hazed him for an hour, carefully and ridicu- iously, after the code of cow camps. Whenever he uttered protest they held him stretched over a roti of blankets and thrashed him woefully with a pair of leather leggings. And all this meant that Curly had won his spurs, that he was receiving the puncher’s accolade. ‘Nevermore would they be polite to him. But he would be their “pardner’ and stirrup brother, foot to foot. When the fooling was ended all hands made a raid on Joe's big coffee pot by the fire for a Java nightcap. Ranse watched the new knight carefully to see if he understood and wag worthy. Curly Hmped with his cup of coffee to a log and sat upon it. Long Collins fol- owed and sat by his side. Buck Rabb went and sat at the other. Curly grinned. 4 And then Ranse furnished*Curly with mounts and saddle and equipments, and turned him over to Buck Rabb, instruct- ing him to finish the job. Three weeks later Ranse rode from the ranch into Rabb’s camp, which was then in Snake Valley. The boys were saddling for the day's ride He sought out Long Collins among them. “How about that bronco?” he asked. Long Collins grinned, ‘Reach out your hand, Ranse Trues- dell,” he gaid, “and you'll touch him. And you can shake his'n, too, if you like, for he’s plumb white and there’s none better in the cdmp.”’ Hanse looked again at the ciear-faced, bronzed, smiling cowpuncher who stood at Collin’s side. Could that be Cur- ly? He held out his hand, and Curly grasped it with the muscles of a bronco- buster. “I want you at the ranch,” sald Kanse, d “All right, sport,’’ said Curly, heart- lly. “But I want to come back again.

It Is Unnecessary, but There cAre Re.isons Why Women Should Favor It. Written for the Post-Dispatch By’ NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. HE questi: of whether of not 5 6 the voluntary bachelor should. be taxed is one which dates back to the first bachelor—in other words, to Adam—before Fate took pity on his in- ability to find Lis collar button and sup- plied him with a wife. But the venerable subject is given new life by the fact that there are now pending before the legislatures of four states bills for the establishment of a bachelor tax. In Iowa, Wisconsin and Texas meas- ures are being considered whereby all unmarried men over a certain age will be made to pay for the privilege of the single life. The Iowa bill provides for the pay- ment of an annual bachelor tax of $2. In the Texas measure the tax is graded from $10 to $25, according to the age of the delinquent, while in Missouri it is proposed to exact $50 a year from the culprit. The solon responsible for the Wiscon- sin measure believes that every man wants to get married, but that some are too shy or too helpless. So he proposes to establish a State marriage bureau. By far the more ingenious of these proposed enactments is the Texas Dill, which, foreseeing the tendency of the wily male to “swear off’’ his bachelor tax, requires that every unmarried man must propose to at least one girl a year, under penalty of » double tax, or fur- nish the tax collector with satisfactory evidence in writing of his rejection. It has been suggested that as the re- sult of this-provision eligible Texas girls will have to provide themselves with written rejection slips, similar to those sent out by the magazines with returned manuscripts. But I think that the confirmed bachelor would refuse to take the chance of being accepted and that the only thing for him to do in the event of the bill’s passage would be to club to- gether with his fellow sufferers and pay an annual salary to a young woman who would be termed the official re- jector. This salary would, of course, have to be larger than the annual in- come of any member of the club, so 6€6that)6)]«6the.)6«6pyoung) woman would certainly play fair and not drive some unalterable bachelor to despair by ac- cepting him. Perhaps the St. Louis bachelor will not shiver with apprehension upon learning of the coercive measures con- templated in the West. Secure in his own immunity he may even contemplate the misfortunes of his Western brothers with serene satisfac- tion and reflect that the seven Repub- lican stetes which refused to counte- nanee the Payne tariff bil! should, if ‘tidy and forlorn—is quite tax enough without having to. pay for it. I believe Sir Peter Teazle said of mat- rimony that the crime carried the pun- ishment along with it. But this would apply much more truthfully to bachelor- hood. One especially interesting feature of the modern movement to tax bachelors is the chivalrous assumption that the only reason women don’t marry is that men don’t propose. As the only way of smiting this uni- versal delusion, women should favor the bachelor tax despite its injustice. Children Tell Truth. The day before Christmas Edith aged 10, had a number of packages tied up for distribution. The doctor felt of one intended for “‘Uncle John.” “That’s some tobacco,” said the doc- tor, as he fingered the package. *‘How can you tell?” asked Edith. “Because I am a good Gagncetiotaa,” he replied. Then, as Edith seemed somewhat dazed at the big word, the doctor in- quired: 2s ite you know what a diagnostician is ' **Yes,”’ ue answered promptly, “it’s a good guesser.’’—Youth’s Companion. WHEN A GIRL’S ENGAGED. Adbice on Love and Matrimony From the Post- Dispatch Expert. By* BETTY VINCENT. HY will so many girls who are en- gaged to be married insist that they cannot give up the atten- tions of their men acquaintances? In almost every mail I receive one or more letters from perplexed young men who tell me that although they have given up all their girl friends for their flancee, she still persists in accepting the ad- miration for other men. Girls, this is all wrong. You have ab- solutely no right to permit your former male acquaintances to call upon you after you have announced your engage- ments. Of course, exceptions might be nade in the case of gn old and intimate friend, but under such circumstances it would be best to receive him only when your flance or a member of your family is also present. The main point, however, is that a girl does not really care for her flance properly or she would not desire the comradeship of other men. When a woman is really in love, as she should be, with the man she intends to marry, other men do not interest her. If a girl who is engaged to marry insists that it qs a sacrifice to give up the other men she knows, it is a pretty safe indication that she does not know her own heart; that she really does not leve the man she has said she would marry enough to become his wife. For, what does a girl ike this imagine her future will be? If she cannot exist without: other men health of ri a oe me Geet ge Cs p dices, Cm aaber Opium, substance.

Always Bought around her while she is engagea, what will she do when she is married? The idea is wrong, girls. Either give up your men friends, or give up your flance. It is neither fair to yourself nor to him to attempt to keep them both. She Is Older. YOUNG man who signs himself “‘A. P. G."’ tells me: “‘I am 2% years old and engaged to a young lady who is two months my senior. We intend to be married in about two years. Do you think that she is too old for me?’ I cannot think that two months’ dif- ference in age would matter much one way or the otner,~“‘A. P..G.” If you really love the young lady, as I presurne you do, or you would not be anxious to marry her, an even greater difference of age would be of no real consequence, She Is Flirting. YOUNG man who signs himself “N. B.”" writes: “I am desperately in love with a young girl who tells me that l am the only man for whom she cares. Nevertheless, she still accepts invita- tions from other men, and tells. me of ' their attentions to her. She knows that ] have given up ali my girl friends for her. What shall I do?’ Unless you are engaged to the young lady, “N. B.,” you have no right either to ask her to confess her love to you or to prove it by giving up her other friends.

Neighb.rhood House Enter- tainamen e**#teeoveeesee mwmeeeaegeaeeneee t eeeeneeneer eeeeeveaeeee The number of entertainments given by children for the benefit of the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund is increasing dally. They now average four a day and are held in all parts of the city, in fashionable residence districts and in the neighborhoods of the laboring classes. The interest of the children in the cru- sade to help save the lives of the babies of the poor has resulted in hundreds of persons contributing who would other- wise have forgotten the fund and what it is for. The children come to the Post-Dis- patch with stories of how they have sold tickets for their entertainment to busy business men, who have told them that they meant to contribute to the fund weeks ago, but that it slipped their minds. Too much cannot be said in praise of the little Schoolboys and girls who generously have given up part of their vacation time in preparing for these entertainments. . | Entertainment Nets $28.10. An entertainment given by children at 4862 Page boulevard brought in $23,10 to the fund. The entertainment was under the direction of Miss Gladys Mé@idner. The following children ap- _. peared: Fannie Mussbaum, Estelle Caplin, Leona’ Meidner, Mary Muss- - baum, Dorothy Parselles, Maude Leder- er, Fannie Dame, Adeline Linsky, Doro- thy Callahan, Wirt Barton, Charles Copline, Sam Mussbaum, Raymond Stahl and Moritz Pebz. The Pansy Club has sent in a state- ment that the total receipts from the entertainment given by the club at ae ee Self-Culture Hai] last week were $26,70. ' Two little boys, Celsin Kellerman and Alfonso Hagen, have turned in §2.34 for the aid of the babies, which they made by giving a magic lantern show. Another entertainment given in Cab- anne last week by school boys and girls increased the fund $16.30. The boys who appeared in the entertainment were Milton Berger, Joseph Lederer, David Berger, Corine Heiman, Herman Hei- nian and the Gurn sisters. Four ehildren living in the 2000 block on Palm street raised $1 for the fund by giving a show with a penny admission. The children were Mabel Werne, Gussie Weekfessel, Lillian Wieden and Gilbert avenue Friday evening brought in The following appeared: Irene _ Kenny, Madeline Kenny and Gordon , Pottock.

Me oA ee Le wt toa 2 mad ats B. penton oe Rater ee ee STOCK MIRE IS IRREGULAR AT THE OPENING Changes From the Closing Limited to Small Fractions, London Firm. NEW YORK, Aug. 2%, 12:30 p. m.— In the rails division of the Exchange the opening irregularity was continued throughout the forenoon. The indus- trials, on the other hand, were nearly &11 higher. With only .a@ few exceptions the changes from the opening were of a fractional character. Smelting advanced %, Steel preferred %, Anaconda %, Amalgamated Copper and Lead % each, Steel common % and Consolidated Gas 1% points. People’s Gas receded % and American Locomotive common 2 points. In the rails, B. & O., Canadian Pacific, Greai Northern, New York Central and South- ern Pacific declined 4% each; Rock Is- land preferred %, Rock Island common and Penhsylvania % each. Canadian Paoifice, Erie; Northern Pacific and Union Pacific were unchanged. [Iilinois Central gained %, B. R. T. and St. Paul % each, Wabash preferred %, Atchison %, and Missouri Pacific and Reading 1 point. Reading and Union Pacific were quite active. Trading was in less volume than it has been recently, the total sales to noon amounting to only 348,900 shares. Irregular price movements featured the opening of the stock market today. Except in the case of Canadian Pacific, which was 1% higher, the changes from the closing prices were limited to small fractions. The exact opening of Union Pacific could not be ascertained, simu.- taneous sales being made from 209% to 210%, which would average about parity.

There were 10,000 shares of tinion Pacifico traded in at from 209% to 210%, against 210, yesterday's close. The price soon wore off to 209. Speculation became Very weak in tone after the opening dealings, and there were a number of material reces- sions, Union Pacific sold 1% below yes- terday’s final figtires, Southern Pacific 1% and St. Paul and New York Centra! l. Pittsburg Coal dropped 2% and the Preferred 1. The sudden drop in prices was with- out definite explanation. Later on the market began to gather strength slowly With the upward movement helped by confident buying of the Gould stocks. Prices got back to the neighborhood of yesterday's closing in most cases. Dealing contracted and the fluctua- tions became very narrow. Prices re- acted slightly, but the list was moving Up again at noon.
