HE SOLD PLACE Called to Talk It Over and Mother and Daughter Were Struck. THEN

; It cost Charles T. Pickens $25 to slap Mrs, Cora Schultz of 3863 West Pine boulevard, who loaned him $900 to buy a saloon. It cost him another $25 to slap Miss Norma Schultz, who went to the rescue of her mother. These were fines imposed on him in the Clark Ave- nue Police Court Friday. Pickens formerly boarded at the Schhitz home and said on the witness stand that he was engaged to be mar- ried to Miss Schultz and that because of the engagement Mrs. Schultz was jeal- ous. Mrs. Schultz is a widow. She was dressed in deep mourning when she ap- peared in court and wore a heavy veil over her face. Miss Schultz also was in mourning. “My mother loaned Mr. Pickens $900,’ said Miss Schultz in her testimony. Mrs. Schultz, who sat out in the court room, swooned at the words “$900.” She was revived by court attaches, who brought water in a tumbler. When she was restored to conscious- ness the trial was resumed. Miss Schultz said that she heard her mother begging Pickens not to strike her again. Miss Schultz said she ran into the room where they were and went to her moth- er’s assistance, whereupon Pickens struck her. Mrs. Schultz testified that she loaned ‘Pickens $900 and that he bought a sa- loon at Chippewa street and Minnesota avenue. She called him on the telephone one day recently, she said, and the bar. tender told her he had sold the place. She sent for Pickens to ‘“‘talk it over with him’”’ and in the argument that fol- lowed he struck her, she said. Miss Schultz exhibited a bruise and scratch on her neck and charged that Pickens had choked her. Pickens pleaded guilty to choking Miss Schultz, saying that he had to do that when she “jumped on him.”” He dented striking either woman.

MILLS WOMAN AND GETS Sa000 RUM RERBELT Body Found in Her House With the Head Battered In by a Sharp Instrument.

By Associated Press, FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Aug. 27.— After working nearly all night on the murder of Mrs. J. W. Winkelman, who was robbed of $8000, carried in her belt, the authorities of the county are satisfied today that the slayer is stijl in town and will soon be under arrest. Already they have the name of a man who is accused by Mrs. Winkelman’'s son, but there is as yet no evidence to support the accusation. Mrs. Winkelman and her husband for years conducted a restaurant. She was 70 years old, but was not feeble. The woman was last seen alive at about 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. She had left the restcurant for her home three blocks from the public square and on a street that leads to the Frisco depot. It was 6 o’clock before Mrs. Winkelman was missed by her daugh- ter, Mrs. Emma Hodge. Mrs. Hodge went to the home and found her mother slain in a small house on the premises. The woman’s head was beaten in, evidently with a sharp instrument. There was every evidence that Mts. Winkelman had fought hard for her life. Officers were notined at once and an effort was made to get bloodhounds on the scene before the grounds were tram- pled by the throngs of people. The slayer or clayers left no clew. Cc. W. Winkelman, tne son of the mur- dered woman, was almost prostrated when he saw the body. In his frantic state of mind he had ne hesitancy in expressing the name of a person he holds responsible for the deed. The man is a pardoned bank robber. Mrs. Winkelman was an_ eccentric Dutch woman. which she always

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—The University of Chicago has just established a bureau of publicity. Hereafter an official press agent will report all lectures and write the news that originates at the institu- tion. Misrepresentation ir certain news- papers, and the desire of some of the professors to ‘‘avoid being ‘hounded’ by insistent reporters,”” is given as the reason for the move. The new bureau has been put in charge of J. A. Powell of the University Press. It will offi- clally begin work Oct. L “I am to do all 1 can to clear up the ill feeling which evidently ‘exists be- tween some newspapers and the univer- sity,” he said today” ‘‘The university is not averse to publicity. as haa been sup- posed by some. What we object to is continued misrepresentation. We want publicity of the right kind. | “It should be understood,”” added Mr. Powell, “that the university is not seek- ing to muzszie the professors.

emanated As tween State Factory Inspector W)¥ Williams and the shoe manufa@™ firm of Roberts, & Kae warrant was issued Friday against A. C. Hunt, foreman of the Hickory street factory of. Roberts, Johnson & Rand, charging him with violating the new law which prohibits employers allowing women to work more than & hours in a week. State Factory Inspector Williams ap- peared before Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Falkenhainer and explained that he and Roberts, Johnson & Rand and other manufacturers were desirous of obtaining an authoritative judicial deci- sion upon the law, a grave doubt as to its constitutionality existing, and that the suit against Foreman Hunt is in- tended as a test case. The point at is- sue is regarded as important and neither the State Factory Inspector nor the manufacturers concerned are content to let the law stand as it is without a con- clusive test. The warrant charges Foreman Hunt specifically with having employed Miss Lillian Kill in the Hickory street fac- tory last week for 55 hours. Evidence of the violation was furnished by Rob- erts, Johnson & Rand and State Factory Inspector Williams laid it before the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. Foreman Hunt was not arrested, but was released Friday on his own bond of $200. The case will be heard in the Court of Criminal Correction next week. It will be submitted in the form of an admitted statement of fact, a trial and the hearing of testimony being unnec- essary. KINDLY SEA WASHES 25 KEGS OF BEER TO THIRSTY RECRUITS Pangs-of Homesickness Relieved at Fort Slocum When Beverage Falls From Tossing Ship. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Twenty-five kegs of beer defied the canteen law by floating into Fort Slocum yesterday and did much to relieve the pangs of home- sickness and thirst among the recruits. The ship Mary Gordon, plying between ‘this city and New Rochelle, had a deck load of beer on board when she was Caught by the wash of a big steamer off City Island. She rolled so that she spilled about fifty kegs of beer into Long Island Sound and 2% of them went straight for Fort Slocum. the result of' an agreement be- Johnson

Raymond were not so fond of the attentions of barbers he might never have been a prisoner at the Central Police Station. Raymond, who says he is a nephew of a rich brick-ma- chine manufacturer in Willoughby, O., was arrested after he moved without nvo- to the Planters, while he owed $26 board bill and a $4 barber shop Dill. At the Planters Thursday evening Raymond went into the barbér shop, had his hair trimmed, washed, singed, his face shaved, his nails pared and polished and took all the other things a barber shop affords except a Turkish bath. He had the bill charged. With a small bar bill, it amounted to $6. “What baggage has this fellow got?’ asked .Assistant Manager Bonneville when he saw the Dill. ‘“‘None,’’ said a bellboy. Bonneville sent for Raymond, who finally admitted he owed a small bill at the Marquette. He said he was a bond salesman. and had come to St. Louis to negotiate the sale of a special issue to the Mercantile Trust Co. His ex- pense money hadn't come on time, he explained, and he disliked to appeal to his wealthy relatives. Bonneville telephoned ,to Manager Clancy of the Marquette and Ray- mond’s arrest on suspicion of obtaining money under false pretenses followed. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Falk- enhainer refused to issue a warrant, saying the only obligations Raymond had contracted were civil. At the Mercantile Trust Co. it was said Friday that Raymond was known there osly as an applicant for a posi- tion.

‘MAN'S WIFE TWO WEEKS WITH GUN TS Good Samaritan Needs Night’s Sleep Now and Will Send Woman Away. — HUSBAND AFTER HER Fyke and His Father Kept From Invalid by Wife’s Armed Host. Sam Case, G. S. (Good Samaritan), would give his new title, or nearly any- thing else he has, for a good night's sleep. After guarding his St. Louis Coun tv home for two weeks against the hus- band and father of his guest, Mrs. Mar- garet Fyke, Case announced Friday that he intended to turn Mrs. Fyke over to the county authorities, and to move his family to some new location where he can have rest. Mrs. Fyke has recovered from the ill- ness which caused her husband, Everett Fyke, and his father, Charles Fyke, to leave her at Case’s. But she has no other place to go, and has so dreaded to return to her nomad husband that Case has protected her with his re- peating shotgun from the frequent ap- proaches of the movers. Had One Man Arrested, Case made the Fykes his enemies when he caused the arrest of their trav- eling companion, Alva Leonard, who is still in the Clayton Jail on a peace dis- turbance charge. Since the county au- thorities were informed that the elder Fyke was wanted in Indianapolis for eutting his wife’s throat, the Case familr and Mrs. Fyke have feared the ven- geance of the movers. Deputy sheriffs and constables have made fitful searches for the Fykes, but have failed to catch them or to keep them from bobbing out of the woods at intervals and trying to storm the Case dwelling. The Fykes have been thwart- ed by the ready weapons of Case and of his neighbor and assistant guardsman, Daniel Vaughn. The matter got on Case’s nerves so Thursday afternoon that, when he saw three men lying asleep in a railrcgi cut, he decided they were his enemies, and summoned deputy sheriffs. Two officers came, approached the men cautiously from behind and pounced on them, only to find that they were harmless section workers. When he got home he was told by Mrs. Fyke that a man, a stranger to her, had called and tried to get her to go outside ani meet some men who wanted to see her. She refused to leave the house and the man went away. CIVIC LEAGUE IS PREPARING PETITION FOR PARK ELECTION Petitions for an eleztion on the ques- tion of making St. Louis and St. Louis County a public reservation district, with a commission appointed by the Governor to look after an extensive park and boulevard system, are being prepared by Mayo Fesler, secretary of the Civic League. They will be pre- sented to the Municipal Assembly and the St. Louis County Court. Under the new law 5 per cent of the voters may ask for an election on this question. If the proposition carries in the election the commission would have the power to levy taxes for the main- tainance of the park and boulevard sys- tem it established. The Civic League desires a system of this sort on a large scale, to cost $10,000,000 in the next 10 years. The petitions ask that the elec- tiorr be held in 1910.

Sixth St, Finds Small Crack, Throws Out Many Branches and Flattens Its Trunk. _——,,

Whoever enters the new and still un- rented storeroom at 4289 Natural Bridge Road these days can sing “Under the Greenwood Tree” with tremendous real- isrn, because the singer will be under the shade of the most remarkable ex- ample of errant tree-growth in all St. Louis. It’s a tree nine feet high and with a trunk of considerable size which, never- theless, has sprung up through a crack iu the baseboards, between the show window and the front door, that is only three inches long and one-fourth inch wide, without enlarging the crack. This astonishing tree, after thus steal- ing its way through the crack, flattened its trunk out a bit on the storeroom floor and then proceeded to direct its nine feet of height at an angle of 4 degrees toward the one window from which it recetved sunlight. The flat- tened trunk makes a gnarled and twist- ed knot three inches long by two inches UP P THROUGH STORE FLOOR wide, and.from this flattened trunk have grown two branches. These branches, three-quarters of ah inch in diameter, have bourgeoned out into 46 minor branches, each avout four feet long, all covered with leaves, some eight inches long and two inches wide. The leaves are dark green, and seem normal, but the iree’s trunk and branches are of a pale gray hue, seem- ing to lack healthfulness because of be- ing deprived of fresh air and compelled to get their sunlight at second hand. The first sprout of the tree showed above the storeroom floor last May, and its subsequent. growth was rapid. Its discoverers In the neighborhood pro- nounce it a “Heaven Tree,” this being an arboricultural variety akin to the weeping willow, the droop of whose boughs and foliage it imitates. It al- most entireciy fills one side of the other- wise empty storeroom, and presents a novel as well as picturesque appear- ance. The storeroom is one of a series of four similar structures, one story in height, which are owned by J. W. Dwy- er of Oklahoma. The local realty firm of A. Boeck & Co., 618 Chestnut street, represent Mr. Dwyer, and say that they will not disturb the ‘“‘Heaven Tree” un-
