Cook has sent to New York the record of the observations he took on his successful dash to the North Pole. He has sent, too, the instruments with which he made the observations. All are in care of Harry Whitney, the American. friend whom Dr. Cook, re- turning, met on the Greenland Coast. — _That Dr. Cook asks for a scientific jury of his American peers was develop- ed today by the Post-Dispatch corres- pondent.

Every accurate astronomer and geogra- pher on earth could refute such false data easily.’’ Then Prof. Stromgven, with the will- ing aid of Minister Egan, had an inter- view with Dr. Cook. “I have sent all my data and in- struments to New York,’ said the ex- plorer. “They will be tested t’ere and I am as certain as that I am alive statement made.

His body was found this morning dangling from a telegraph pole near Duncan, Miss. One member of the mob had pinned on the dead man’s trousers an envel- ope containing the following inscrip- tion: “This is a warning to niggers. We will get the right man if we have to go to the penitentiary and tear down the walls.’’ Lynching Is Defended, There are many who defend the lynch- ing, on the ground that it was very probable that the mob’s victim had loaned his brother a mule, upon which he escaped. Nathan McDaniel was cap- tured after the lynching and was hur- ried by a posse to a train, upon ,which he was taken to Jackson, where he will be held in the penitentiary for safe- keeping. It developed today that during the riot which followed the shooting of Marshall Saturday night that four citi- vens were wounded. The crowd made an effort to kill every negro in sight, and in the reckless shooting several innocent persons were wounded. Gov.

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 6.—The body of a young woman, apparently about 20 years old, and from which the head, ayms and legs had been cut and hacked with a knife or ax, was found this morning sewn up in a coarse coffee sack in shallow Ecorse Creek, 20 feet froma bridge over which the street car lines pass at the edge of the city. Th.e torso was entirely naked and was badly decomposed. Two bricks had been sewed inside the bag to keep it down in the water and several other bricks were on top of the sack, holding it and its contents below the surface. The head and timbs had been literal- ly hacked off, precluding the likelihood of amputation by a physician. The body lain among the rushes in shallow water within sight of the passengers of passing Wyandotte cars evidently for several days. The bundle was noticed two days ago by employes of Raupp’s lumber mill and given a push with a pike pole. The discovery of the contents of the bag was made by John D. Jones and Benjamin Dufour, who went close to it in a rowboat and through a slit in the bag saw what seemed to be a human body. They anchored the bag ahd its contents and notified the authorities. There is absolutely nothing about the torso or vag by which the body may be identified. .The bag was an ordt- nary one. The top was well sewed. The creek has been dragged for the missing portions of the body. Justice Tourangeau opened an inquest at 10 o'clock, Sheriff Gaston and a posse of deputies left for the scene of the murder immediately. The police have hn A Attaty llyn, N.

LOWELL, ' Mass., Sept. 6.—One acci- dent happened in the first of the three automobile road races scheduled for to- day before the curs had got fairly well started. A Knox car, driven by F. Shaw, ran into a crowd on Dunbar avenue and Patrick Bridges, his 7-year-old son and James H. Tracey were injured about the body and legs.. The mechanician was so badly hurt when the machine struck a booth that he was taken to a hospital. The starters in the first event’ for cars weighing 2100 pounds, the distance being % rounds of the 10.6-mile course, for the Veefer Club trophy, were as follows: Car. Driver. Chalmers-Detrolit...... L. B. Lorimer ey cc dwataseesiuscedly Gee péncbsweenns ances A. Stoecker Course in Good Condition. The course was in ideal condition for ‘ast work and the weather was cool and racing. Danger spots in the course were indi- ‘ated by the size of the crowds at those yarticular places. The “hairpin” and the ‘“‘dip’’ in Tyngsboro and the right- ingle curve at the Lowell terminal on Junbar avenue were all crowded. The contesting machines were iway at %0-second intervals.

Through the short days and the long nights in the ice-packed farthest north these two men, one returning from the pole and the other going toward it, may at times have been almost within hailing distance of each other. _ Feary, in common with many other Americans, might have believed that Dr. Cook ‘had peristied in the ice. Cook, familiar with Peary’s plans, must have known that his rival was not far away. What route Peary chose is not definitely known, but he was reported to have told his friends that he, like Dr. Cook, believed that the best way to reach the pole was to make the dash in the winter and take advantage of the ice-drifts to the north and east. That they passed each other under cover of the Arctic night is not consid- ered improbable, It is even suggested by some that Peary may have found the trail left by Dr, Cook and that following the tracks and the marks of the sledge- runners over the hard-packed snow he may have been greatly aided in striking a course which would lead him to the pole. Some believe there is a possibility that in the strangely worded message from Indian Harbor, Commodore Peary announced, not his own achievement, but that of Dr. Cook. Scientific associaies of Peary’ are inclined to believe that he knew nothing of Cook's claim to the discovery of the pole, and that he himself also reached it. A press telegram from Washingten quotes Henry Gannett, close friend of Peary and vice-president of the Nationa: Geographic Society, as saying: “That dispatch from Peary means that he has finally achieved what he has so long heen after.”’ ‘ Melville Believes Peary. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.—Admiral Melville, when informed of the text of the Associated Press dispatch from Lieut. Peary, said: ‘‘If Peary has telegraphed the Associated Press that he has found the Pole, I believe it and say bully for him.”’ “I am awfully glad that he has got ten to the North Pole. whether he was the first to reach there or not. He certainly worked hard enough to get there. Such a dispatch from Peary would si gnify only his own achievement. Even if Cook was there first, whatever he left there would have floated miles “awa. “T always thought that Peary had the best chance of all of the men who have gone out in the effort to reach the North Pole. He was fitted by long experience and by his weil-known high qualities. I reat, I am awfully glad that Peary has reached the -pole.” The press telegram: aids that Peary is personally very popular with the scl- entists in Washington, and a movem ent will be launched at once to give him ® rousing reception when he gets back to this country. Most of the scientific colony were out of the city Monday. Prof. Willis L. Moore, the president of the National Geographic Society, and Prot.

An average smoker uses about four ounces a month. — At the clubhouse of Gee Goon Tong on Bighth street there is & god called Kwan Tal, an ancient Chi- nese war hero. He is being worship- ed now only by members of the club. But before 1901, when the Chi- nese Reform Association was organ- ized, each Chinese store was taxed from $5 to $8 a year for the support of this god. See-to Sing is now the priest of the josshouse and works on a salarv instead of receiving whatever a wor- shiper may give. Half Chinese in City Worship Idols. Besides playing fan-tan and smoking opium, about half of the 450 Chinese in this city worship idols. In China the 000,000 Chinese spend $400,000,000 a year for the support of idols, while in St. Louls the 40 Chi- nese spend about $600. In China four- fifths of this money is spent by wom- en, while in St. Louls all is paid by men, There are only two Chinese wom- en in St. Louis, and they do not visit the god in a men’s clubhouse. One of the Chinese women is Mrs. Chu Cho, who lives on Taylor avenue, and the other is Mrs. Chu Tong Yi, on Tenth street. ; Since the organization of the Chin- ese Reform Association, much has been done to better the social and moral condition of the Chinese in Bt. Lotis. Chinese merchants are no longer required to contribute toward the support of an idol in which they do not believe; public opium dens have been closed and confirmed smokers are being advised to use the drug only in their own rooms; and to draw gamblers from the tables, lec- tures and other entertainments are frequently given by students who are attending universities in this country and Chinese tourists who come here, The president of the Chinese Reform Association in St. Louls is Chu Quong Chan, manager of Quon See Wo. They Seck Gambling as a Recreation: In speaking of the Chinatown, Chu Quong Chali said that it would be impossible to stop gambling unless there is something to take its place.

Holding that it weuld be illegal to try offenders on Labor day, Judge Dan- ‘fel Q'Connell . Tracy . of the Clark Ave- nue Police Court remained at his home Monday while the police were trying to decide what to do with the 35 accused persons locked up in the holdover, and the 50 who had been released on bond to appear for trial Monday. Judge Pollard of the Dayton Street Court was on the woolsack as usual and assessed fines against a large docket of offenders. Judge Tracy said Judge Pollard should not. have done tpis. “I don’t like to give decisions off- hand,” he said, “but it is my opinion that rulings made in a police court would not stand. “The ordinances are merely bylaws to the statutes. It is true that the mu- nicipal code, revised two years ago, ddes not mention Labor day as a day on which police courts are to remain closed, but that is not the point. The Legislature is the sovereign power in the State and its declaration that. Laber day is a legal holiday makes it illegal to hold court on tHat day. 1 am not criticising Judge Pollard. I am merely stating my vicw of the law. a decision on a legal holiday i would not expect it te stand. Of the % prisoners held for Judge Tracy’s court and unable to give bond, some were women and the majority were arrested Saturday night. They already had been held 36 hours in hold- over cells when the police discovered that Judge Tracy would not arraign them Monday. This made it necessary to hold the prisoners an additional 24 hours, until Tuesday morning. Many of the prisoners who had been released on bond appeared at the court Monday and found the doors closed.

DROPPED FROM SIGHT Inseparables’ Declared Due to Course in Brahmanist Study. The funeral of Col. ‘Celsus Price, seo- ond son of Gen. Sterling Price, Confed- erate soldier and leader, will be held st the Alexander undertaking estab- lishment Tuesday. 1m accordance with his wishes, the body of Col. Price will be cremated. The religious views of Col. Price at ‘he time of his death were known only to himself and his brother, Quintus. It ie generally supposed they had adopted a form of Brahminism, akin to theos- ophy. In 1890 Col. Price, with his broth- ers, Quinten and Edmond, disappeared for six or seven years. Where they went or what they did has always been a matter of mystery, but it is generally believed they secluded themselves for the study of religion. Quintus Price told a Post-Dispatch re- porter Monday that his brether never told where they had been. Upon returning to St. Louis, Celsua Price delivered two lectures on Brah- minism in the music hall of the Exposi- tion Building. He never afterwards pub- licly discussed his religious views. It is said that during the six or seven years of his absence he was either at or near Monticello, Va., or in Tibet, studying Oriental religion. Once Candidate for Governor, Col. Price had been prominent in Mis- souri politics, having once been a can- didate for -Governor, and Insurance Commissioner under Gov. John & Phelps. Friends of Col. Price say it was his support of Phelps in 1880 that cause] the defeat of F. M. Cockrell, afterwards Senator, for the gubernatorial nomina- tion. After Col. Price’s conspicuous part in Missouri politics, his friends were sur- prised when he quietly dropped out of sight in 1890. After his return to St. Louis he lived unostentatiously. He was a clerk in the Manchester Avenue Police Station until he was stricken a short] time ago. His death resulted from heart disease at the Deaconess Hospital He was 69 years old. With a colony of prominent Confed- erate soldiers and sympathizers, Col. Price went to Mexico immediately after the. Civil War. His father, Gen. Ster- ling Price, was also a member of this expedition, and former Gov. Harris of Tennessee was another. Brothers Were Inseparable. Gen. Sterling Price led a Confederate army through Southern Missouri durlag the Civil War. His campaign was known as Price’s raid. The Prices and their associates re- mained in Mexico a year. They obtained @ grant of land from Maximillian, who set himself up as ruler of Mexico. The colony was not successful and all of the Confederate leaders returned to the states. Celsus and Quintus Price were in- separable for many years. They lived together at 4730A Delmar avenue for 45 years. After returning from Mexico Celsus Price was married, but his wife and son died a year later. His father also 3; Ba Pe. ee eee 3 4 ra aa epee 3 moyen ee Selene rT ER a A Disappearance + IR RAGES EMA TT ET AD —— ' GEN. STERLING PRICES SON WHO DIED Sina] died about the same time. He never re- married. He has a sister, Mrs. Stella Willis of, Fort Smith, Ark., and two nieces, daughters of his brother, Bd. mund Price,’ who live in 8t. Louis. Col. Price was a member of Camp 8t. Louts, No. 781, United Confederate Veterans. During the Civil War he was @ mem- ber of his father’s staff, havingequit the University of Virgiuia, where he was studying, to fight for the Southern cause. Col. Price was born in Keytes- ville, Mo., in 1840. SALOON LAW WAS REPEALED BECAUSE UNCONSTITUTIONAL | @ Change Will Not, However, Permit Whisky-Selling Near the University. The law prohibiting saioons within five miles of the University of Missouri in Columbia was repealed by the recent General Assembly because it had been. Ceclarcd unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court, according to authentic information received by the Post-Dis- patch Monday. It was the in:pression ef Serator Kin- ney and other friends of the law, as re- ported in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, that rhe repeal legislation was without the knowleége of the university authorities, As the 1909 session of the Legislature was a revising session, a large share of iis work consisted of the elimination of vnconsftitutional and obsolete bills from the statute books. Even though the law in question had steod the test of the courts it wduid have proved superflu- ous as the agitation leading to its en- actment resulted in the suppression of all saloons in Beone County.

Henry Thoms, 62 years old, of 4488 Race Course avenue, a Frisco railroad rection hand was instantly killed while working at the King’s Highway crossing Monday. He stepped out of the way of an eastbound train and was struck by ea train going west. He had a wife and 3 children. the room he occupied with his son, Car! Ir., on the third floor. As no reason is known why he should want to kill him- self it is supposed that he sat on the window sili, dosed and fell out. | The fall was 30 feet. Anderson and. Emil Johnson of 2193 Olive street called Sunday on a friend nam whose address the son does not know. The son came in at 11:40 o'clock and went to bed. He did not hear his father come in and knew noth- ing of what had happened until ¢ o’clock, when Edward Hambee, the pro- prietor, who found the body, awakened him. He learned from Johnson that his father came in at 1 o’clock. Anderson had taken off his shpes and collar, and apparently had seated him- self on the window sill to continue dis- robing and fell asleep. The home of Anderson ig in Brockton, Maas., where he has a ~‘fe, two daugh- ters and another son. Se and his son came here four months ago to obtain employment.

WILLIAMS appeared at B the Garrick last night without his former partner, ‘Walker. The “big fellow’ was as funny as ever, and if the absence’ of his partner was noticed, it Was an agreeable change to many who found Walker's styie of humor at times offensive. Williams is genuinely funny, though there is a monotony about his methods that grows a little tiresome after a while. He has a new song that is worth the price of admission. He tells of the effort of a father to name his baby | MAKES om Former Pittsbu BelleTrainéd by Belasco—Rumor of Divorce. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 6.—It became known here today that Alice Rand, now being featured at the. Belasco Theater in New York in “Is Matrimony a Fail- ure?’ is Mrs. Lou Speigel’ Woods, until fashionable colony. She was the. wife of William Woods and a member of the Sewickly Heights colony, tn whic move all of the very rich of the Pitts- burg district. But there came a. mys- terlous estrangement about a.year ago, Woods starting for Texas and the young wife disappearing . from her friends. There came rumors from New York that she had beeh placed under David Belasco for preparation for the stage, but the report was not verified until the young matron came into the limé- light under Leo Dietrichstein’s manage- ment. The Woods family is one of the oldest and richest in Sewickley Val- ley. Miss Lou Speigel and young Woods met at school years ago and eloped. There is rumor that a divorce has been granted one of them in Missouri or New York State, but if so every step has been taken to cover the matter up. Relatives of Mrs. Woods at Greensburg, Pa., admit that she has been studying under Belasco for a year. 17,572 VISIT SHAW’S GARDENS AT ANNUAL SUNDAY FALL OPENING Fig Trees and Banana Plants Bear- ing Fruits the Chief Attraction.

Tom Brown and Siren Nevarro do a Chinese specialty that delighted the large audi- ence. : The vehicle for Wiiliams and his troup of negro funmakers is called ‘‘Mr. Lode of Koal.” The plot concerns Mr. Lode’s troubles as a substitute “Big Smoke,” or ruler of a kingdom of lunatics who used elephants and giraffes for money, with white mice and mosquitoes as change. A huge gorilla that scares Williams while acting as court messenger adds much to the fun. The piece could be improved by the elimination of some of the talk and the addition of more songs like “The Har- bor of Lost Dreams’”’ and “In Far Off Mandalay.” ‘Those who like the Wii- liams: style of entertainment, and they are numerous, will be pleased with ‘‘Mr. Lode iaicaadl | W.

Hie is the Right Honorable Sir Joseph ‘yeorge Ward, P. C., K. C., M: G., Prime Minister of New Zealand, who is on his way back to the country where women igve enjoyed full sufirage for 17 years. Sir Joseph is the guest of Charles W. MeMurran, author of a book published hy the New Zealand Government, “From He has just come from England, where the wal! of the suffragette is loud in the land and very frankly says that he doesn’t ike the English suffragette at all. “I deprecate the violent methods em ployed by English women,” hé said yes- terday, “and I realy believe that the fee rw ake emancipation of women wil) be delayed by their hysterical actions. _ Of course, women suffrage all over the world is inevitable in time, but in my opinion a campaign of conciliation and waecatioe should be waged | ‘Women's Vote Helps Country. “That is how women won the suffrage in "New Zealand. I worked with them 1{ years ago, and I can assure you there ‘was no stirring up of enmity between men and: women as there is in England. The women contented themselves with finding out whether candidates for of- fice were for or against the movement, and used their influerce accordingly. “They educated the men to seeing how , very good for them and the country the woman's vote would be. And it has been,” added Sir Joseph. “I doubt if there is a man in New Zealand today who would deny it or vote to take the ballot away from them if such a thing were contemplated.”’ Sir Joseph paused and looked smiling- ly about him at the ever-changing pa- geant of fine feathers in Peacock al- “Tt’'s a -strange thing,’ he remarked, : “that the only criticism of woman suf- ‘rage in New Zealand comes from women. While the great majority of women vote as intelligently and with assmatetr f interest as°men, here and there one hears @ woman say that she thinks she Would be quite as well off without the burden of the ballot. » S@me Old Argument. “But the most amusing thing about the suffrage question to me,” Sir Joseph added, “ig to hear in England and New York the same arguments against wom- ‘an suffrage that were advanced against it 2 years ago, and which all our experience has absolutely disproved. People seem still to take seriously the assertion that to grant votes to women would promote dissension ip the home. J assure you there has been no quarrel- ing between husbands and wives about 2 politics than there is about the fash- fons, the wife's new bonnet or the hus- band’s new haircut. Very often there $9 @ peaceful discussion of political ques- tions, and of course as the interests of vimusband and wife are identical they often game way. But when they dif- and the’ It ‘is at once invesiigated, and sie given so much a week for every child until her circumstances improve. “No one knows anything about it. The neighpors don’t pity or sympathize with her. So you see we haven't the first incentive to political corruption— necessity,” finished Sir Joseph, “Are the liquor interests reconciled to the woman’s vote?’ “Why, women afe almost as much was the surprising answer. ‘Perhaps the general trend of not nearly so much as was anticipated. the condition of their own sex among us by the vote.” ‘ Maoris Not Inferiors, the native or Maori women vote in New Zealand. ‘‘We draw the color line in New Zeal- and just as much as in certain parts of America, but not towards the Maoris, whom it is tmpossible to regard as an inferior race,” he answered... “Why, in the world, And, strangely enough, one finds among them a tradition which has existed for centuries in the British royal family. “Perhaps you don’t know that no one not of the blood royal is permitted to stand upon the hearth rug in the roya) household. In the Maori home only a chief may stand on the hearth mat. Now, I am going down to see our Ma- oris who are to be at the Hippodrome. I believe I promised to call on thein before I went away.” And so saying, the paternal Prime Minister_went in search of his native constituents.

The greatest opportunities of today are in industrial pursuits. Take, for in- stance, E. G. Grace, my general mana- ger at Bethlehem. Five years ago he Was a mere yard foreman earning $100 a month.

THE BEAR tz BUNGALOW A Fastidious Fable Devised for the Post-Dispatch By* ROY L. eMcCARDELL.

NCE upon a Time .there was a ¢ Bear who Dwelt in the inmnest Recesses of a Wood. But, Ch Pshaw! One cannot have any Privacy anywhere ‘these Days, and the Bea. was Terribly annoyed when some Human Beings built a Bungalow within whur the Suburban real] estate agents would call “five minutes’”’’ walk of his Lal! This was not near enough to annoy him when the phonograph played, Bu the Idea of a Bungalow in this Neck of woods made the Bear growl. ‘At least,”’ he said to himself, they might have advertised it as ‘Beautiful Villa Sites, Carefully Restricted. See Agent on the Premises.’ “But I know what will Happen Next— they -have begun w:-h a Bungalow—there will be a row of grecn Portable houses put up, with signs oa them reading ‘Kozy Nook,’ ‘Sylvan Re- treat,’ ‘San Souci Cottage,’ ‘Daisy Dell, ‘Elderberry Lodge,’ ‘Bide-A-Wee B..nga- low,’ and the like! “And Everybody will have a perfectiy lovely time not Speaking to those Awful] People in the next cottage all summer, and then return to the city to have ty- phoid with all Modern conveniences. ['!! put a crimp into the scheme right at the start.”’ But just what to do he could not at first Decide, so he Loafed around the Bungalow in the Darkness and nedi- tated. : The Occupants of the Bungalow were

a Man, his Wife and their Baby. As thei Man hadn’t yet Taken his Vacation, and the Bungalow was only Five minutes’ walk from the Station, he never Got home till after Dark. But, as He didn’t Know the Bear was a Resident in the locality, he wasn’t a bit Afraid. The Baby being a City Child and used to Sleeping on the Sidewalk in its Go- Cart with the Sun fn its Face, did Not like the Country and “ried all the Time. As the Bear lay under the Window one evening Doping out a scheme and the Baby kept wailing to be back In Town near the moving Picture shows, and where Lollipops could be had at all Hours, he heard the Mother say to the child, ‘“There’s a big biack Bear outside, and if You Don’t Stop Crying I'll Give you to Him!’’ : As the child only Cried the more, the Bear waited around for the Mother to Make Good. One evening, a Few days Later, it be- ing Quite dark, the Mother walked down the path from the Bungalow, carrying the Child to meet Papa, the Train hav- ing Come in Ten Minutes Before. Papa, however, wasn’t on that Train, and the Bear, Slipping up in the gathering gloom, waited just like Papa did when He was Late. *‘Here, take the child! It’s Been Cry- ing all day!’ said the Mother, handing over the Infant to the Bear. For she mistook him for the Wather. The Bear said to himself, “Well, it was about time!” and hiked te the Hemlocks of home. MORAL. The application of this Fable lies in the Fact that So many Husbands act like Bears that the Poor Mother’s Mis- take was Only Natural. -

U. ten-mile championship swim Monday afternoon. positively hold the swim Monday af- ternoon if it is snowing and there are icebergs floating down the river, ” was Bassett’s statement.” >" *? ITH the thermometer at 61 de- grees at 9.30 o’clock this morning many of the 36 probable starters in the annual 10-mile river swim for the Busch trophy, scheduled this afternoon on the Mississippi, shivered and won- dered if they would have the nerve to try their chilly forturies in the Father ef Waters. Harry J. Handy, twice winner of the race, was especially ‘worried, for he, pbove all the other contestants in the swim, is subject to cramps. Handy. fin- ished both races of 1907 and 1908 with his legs painfully drawn up, and last year was barely able to land, although far out In front. Handy says he seldom competes in water under 70 degrees and this morn- ing it hardly seemed probable the river would be as warm as that. - Handy uses. the Australian crawl stroke, in which his feet are idle, and this takes the blood from his legs, en- bancing the likelihood of cramps. This year the Missouri A. €. will be relieved of responsibility as to the swimmers’ safety, a5 no man will be allowed to start unless he has his per- sonal attendant\ in a rowboat provided by himself. Each boat will be equipped with a life gape attached to a long rope. In 1907, Handy won, but one of his legs was badly cramped. Last year, about one mile from the finish, Handy got a cramp in hi leg that moved to his thigh and then into his side. His thigh was drawn up against his stom- ach. Handy swam the last mile. this way. He declares that the secret of his success is to finish at all costs. Handy a Wonder. Handy is a marvelous swimmer. For the entire 10 miles for the past two years he has used what is known as the legless .crawl. He merely iets his legs drag behind while he digs in with bota arms. When he started out last year his stroke was Ti to the minute. At the h he was swim- ming 69 strokes to the minute. No other swimmer could have possi- bly. .used the crawl stroke for such a distance without once resting. But this stroke, as was before stated, is most conducive to cramps. Cramps are caused by lack of ciretlation. When Handy has been in the water a short time the blopd from his legs, whith are not be- ing ane @t all, gradually is drawn up h

There are 36 swimmers in all to start in the race, number of other paddlers from Chica- go. It is almost certain that either Goessling or Handy will win. All of the swimmers will be sent away from the barge anchored at the Chain of Rocks at 2:30 p m. by R. C. King, who will fire the starting shot. A big flo- tilla of motor boats, besides the row- boats, will follow the swimmers and render assistance if necessary. The finish will be at.a point under the cen- tral span of the Eads Bridge. The river is not high The current ‘s not as swift as usual. This means that the swimmers. will have to paddle harder than ever before. The boat accompanying each swim- mer will be given a miniature flag pole, on which will be the number of the swimmer, so that the crowd on shore can see who each man its as he passes.

Finish Season at Home. carded The Cardinals and the Cincinnati Clu) arrived from Redville Monday morning to continue warfare at League Park beginning with a double header in the afternoon. ; The Cardinals have had a very unfor- tunate trip through the East, but were eased a bit in mind by gaining a vic- tory over Griffiths’ team in Cincinnati Sunday. Four games are ‘billed for St. Louis with the Reds as opponents. The main cause for the victory of Sunday was the pitching of Fred Beebe. He held the Reds to seven safeties and was splendid in tight places, The score was 6 to 1 and the Reds tallied their three runs in the last two innings after Cardinals had a comfortable .

including quite a

two legs. August Goessling won. the first 10-mile swim four years ago in the Mississipp!, beating Handy both on handicap basis and on actual time. The race was not counted for the Busch trephy, however. Since then Handy h improved greatly on his long-dis- tance switnming, while Goessling, up*to this year, did not do much training for the races. It is expected that the, winning swim- mer will reach the Eads Bridge at about 4:10 p. m., as the record for the course, is th. 40m. 4s., made by Handy three years ago. This was over a course that will be about a half. mile shorter than the one that the men will be asked to cover Monday, which has been surveyed and is now full 10 miles.

There are boards, brick, cantlings, guttering and many other nds*of rubbish on this roof. Much of it is ne&ér the’edge, and a strong wind from the east probably would sweep it into the atreet. The roof of the Columbia Building at Kighth and Locust streets is littered with heavy plank and iron rods. Some of the planks protrude over the edge of the gutter, and a gust of wind might easily blow. them off into the alley. The roof of the buiiding adjoining it on the south is also covered with timbers, stove pipe and guttering. The reof of the Holland Building is in an unsightly condition, and the roof of the old building at 718 Pine street.is littered with all manner ef rubbish. Block of Roofs Littered.
