Health Department Detective “Dolly Bird,”” a young woman who ‘works up cases against persons suspected of prac- ticing medicine without license, gave testimony in Judge Taylor’s division of the Court of Criminal Correction which resulted in a fine of $200 against Wil- liam J. Wondracek of 4403 Arco avenue. “Dolly Bird,” who was not required to give her real name on the witness stand, testified that a week ago she went to Wondracek, who advertised for patients, and told him she had nervous pains in her stomach and wanted treat- mént. “Dr. Wondracek,”’ she said, ‘“‘took me into the back room and had me remdve my stays. Then he told me to“e down, face downward, across two tables placed me like an

‘about a foot or eighteen inches apart. “The doctor placed his two thumbs together and .fubbed them up and down my spinal column. This, he said, was to adjust the spinal system and work up bloed circulation. He explained that all my trouble originated with the spine. “After the treatment I paid him $1 and reported to the Health Department.’’ Wondracek objected to being called “Doctor” unless the word ‘‘Chiroprac- tice” followed. Akxsistant Prosecuting Attorney Moss created some amusement thereafter by referring to the defendant as “Dr. Chiropractice Wondracek.”’ Chiropractice is hand-manipulation. Wondracek said he was not practicing medicine, but was a chiro-practitioner. The jury found the defendant guilty of practicing medicine illegally, GETS ESTATE AS CHILD OF WOMAN WHO REFUSED To “OBEY” By Associated Press.

PEEPING TOMS CROWD AROUND PUOR PSYCHE Throngs Gather in Street Where Test of Law Is Made. ARREST IS AVERTED

Judge “Peeks” at Nude Beauty and Artist Is Awarded $15.

Psyche had a strenuous time in the ante-room of Spaulding’s court Wednesday. Phyche is a picture of a nude woman painted by Artist Frank Miller for James B. Carrigien’s moving picture show at Seventeenth and Market streets. Justice to occupy a panel on the wall of the picture show, and Carrigien refused to pay the artist $50. Judge Spaulding would not permit Psyche to come into the court room without her clothes on. The Judge ad- wmnitted that he had slirped around when nobody was looking 2nd had looked at Psyche, but he refused to pass an opin- ‘on as to whether Psvche presented an immoral appearance In the heat of the trial Attorney William Sachs, who was contending that the picture was of such a character that its display was forbidden by the city “rdinances, led all the spectators out of the court room to the hall below to view Psyche. “I dare you.” said Sachs to one of Miller’s agents, ‘‘to pill Psyche out on the street and exhibit her. I will give you $ to do so and I'll have you ar- rested.”’ caught Psyche by the frame and pulled ter toward the door. One of Carrigien’s representatives started fer a policeman. ' Judge Refuses to Look Twice. Finally one was found on Sixth street, and just as he tufned in Chestnut street Psyche was withdrawn from the street exhibition. A big crowd gathered to see the picture free. Judge Spaulding was invited to look again on the picture, but he judicially declined. Experts were examined as to whether the picture was improper. Aft- er hearing their testimony, Judge Spaulding evidently decided that Psyche was not fit to be seen in public in St. Louis and rendered a verdict awarding Miller $15 for the material used ‘in the painting. Several times during the trial, Cav rigien wanted to cross over the ta- ble and whip Attorney Nicholas Rosch, who persisied in asking questions Carrigien considered impertinent. Rosch declared Sachs was responsible for having the picture taken into the street and ought to have been ar- rested, if Psyche falls under the ban of the ordinance. “Why,” said Sachs in arguing a mo- tion to have the case thrown out of court because it was illegal, as he seid, to make a contract to paint or sell such a picture, “when Mr, Mulvi- hill was Excise Commissioner he had saloon keepers arrested for exhibit- ing pictures no worse than that.” Assail’s Picture on Court’s Wall, “Oh, pshaw,” said Rosch, “that’s ‘not a bad picture. It’s a copy of a cele- brated painting in the Chicago Art Mu- seum. I insist that this picture is a work of art and that it is not illegal to make a contract to paint it. There is another one like it in the Odeon. “and if Your Honor please,” said Rosch, looking to the rear of the build- ing, ‘‘the picture is no worse than the one which decorates the Court's calen- dar.’’ Judge Spaulding blushed, but did not order the calendar turned to the wall. ‘‘he picture in the calendar was of a nude figure, protected by filmy gauge. Miller and his witnesses insisted’ that Carrigien accepted the picture and was well pleased with it until the police or- dered Psyche down. Carrigien declared that he had the picture torn down the mecment he laid his eyes on it, While all this was going on Psyche had her face turned to the wall in the elevator hall below. One of Constable | Mike Kinney’s porters was requested to carry the picture upstairs, but he de- telined. Carrigien thought Judge Spaulding Jawarded him the picture and promptly Offered to give Psyche te the Court. “You are mistaken,” said Justice Spaulding. “I awarded the picture to Mr. Miller, and you are to pay him $16 _} for his material.”

Four men charged in grand jury in- dictments with ‘‘keeping and maintain- ing bucket shops” were arrested on bench warrants shortly before noon Wednesday, and a fifth, Frank J. Minor, who also has been indicted, outwitted the detectives who went afte: him and made his appearance voluntarily before ' Judge Grimm to give bond. The other men indicted and ar- rested are George L. Harris, 37 years old, 4500 Page boulevara, and Charles Lightner, 39, of 3803 Windsor place, doing business under the name of Harris & Lightner, brokers, at 307 Pine street; Antonio J. Chenier, % years old, and William F. Ryan, 55. Ryan lives at 4620 Vernon avenue and is in business at 301 Pine street, under the title of William F. Ryan & Co., brokers. Chenier is associated with Minor in the Merchants’ Stock and Grain Co., at 20 North Fourth street. Minor, who is 45 years old, says he is manager of that concern, The authorities regard Minor as the most important of the men indicted. Detectives McKenna, Lally, Wardensk! and Ferie arrested the men and took them to the Four Courts, where they found Minor in Judge Grimm’s court with James Cafferatta, who signed his bond for $1000.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22. rest for Dr. —‘*Home’”’ ‘will Frederick A, Cook for weeks to come. The man arose this morning, after 10 hours’ sleep, to begin a day of hard work. Piled in the sitting room of his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria were nearly one tnousand letters and telegrams from all parts of the world, to many of which ne must give immediate answers. So today he shut himself up, with the young English secretary whom United States.Minister Bgan had sent with him from Copenhagen, and set to. work. not mean tically all the time ntil his next pub- lic appearance, which will be at the banquet. tendered by ihe Arctic Club to- morrow night. Many ‘of ‘the letters awaiting answer theatrical managers, commer- are in various cities. Others are from pub- lishers, bidding for his literary output. Dr. Cook has put all but the finishing touches to *he first book narrative of his polar experiences, but it is probable he will write a series of magazine articles also. His first labor will be prepara- tion of the record of his discovery, on which he depends to convince the sci- ent'fic world, and through ft the world rail large, that his claim is well founded. Ile has promised that his record shaii be made public as seon as it is filed with the University of Copenhagen, and probably without waiting for the vér- dict ef that body. NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The state- ment of the negro, Henson, that he talked with Dr. Ccok’s twe E&Skimos and that they told him Cook had ‘“‘net gone beyond the land ice,’”’ in the opinion of people here, who are closely following the Cook-Peary developments, may be only another result of Dr. Cook’s care- fully prepared plan to conceal the news of his movements. He pledged Whithey and Pritchard to secrecy and as a re- sult Peary is believed to have jumped to hasty conclusions, He purposely mis- led Murphy, as Dr. Cook now admits. Appurently, he desired for some pur- pose te hide for a time the facts about his trip. And so, it is pointed out, he may have instructed his two Eskimos to mislead Peary inquirers. In this connection it is pointed out that Whitney will, in all probability, corroborate Pritchard. Whitney is uni- véersally expected to support Cook. It ig important/in thie connection to re- ‘nember that Whitney speaks the Es- kimo language. and that he had been ‘with Dr. Cook geveial days, and had wvery opportunity te question in their own language these «ame two Eskimos. Moreover, the Eskimos themselves. will, says Dr. Cook’ be bh ought here as liv- ing witnesses. The Eskimos would, is thought, have known that Whitney was a friend and : ~fidante of Cook, but would have regaraed Henson, or any of the Peary party with suspicion.

Tt is believed that now, being fully aunched on a career of publicity, Dr. Cook wili not follow the naval officers «xample. “Why should he?’ friends today. ‘‘Cook says he found the North Pole.

While deluged with invitations to events of this Kind near home, he has been unable to map out anything like a definite schedule. The explorer has added ncthing more definite to the remark he made yes- terday that he expected to meet Com- mander Peary soon face to face. It is supposed he meant nothing more than that Mr. Peary would shortly be in New York, and conditions would permit of a personal meeting. said one of his Eskimos’ Denial of Reaching Pole Fitted Into Cook’s Secrecy Plans his ear. Osbon’s grew stronger, and he heat: “TI don’t care. I’ve got something to say here, and I’m going to say it.’’ Bradley shrugged his shoulders, and the little Captain, seeing all opposition gone, turned .to Dr. Cook and remarked: “Well, Doctor, welcome. Hew are you?’ The crowd roared at the anti-climax, and Mr. Coler was given a chance to speak. Out in the river evéry passing boat was whistling a welcome to Cook. The plaintive cries of the sirens and the groans. ef the liners mingled with the ear-splitting teots of the ferryboats and tugs. To every whistle or groan the Republic blew back her three whistles, and the resultant discord had a marked effect on the speech of Dr. Cook. He had it neatly typewritten on a sheet of note paper, which he had prepared while he was 0; board the Oscar IT. “Te a returning explorer,” he began, and then came a toot-toot-toot from the river. “To a returning explorer there is no greater pleasure—(toot-toot-toot)— than the appreciation of his own people (toot-teot-toot), Your numbers and cheers make a deémonstration—(tooh- taah-tooh)—that should fire the pride— (whee-hyee-whe.)—the pride of al) the world—(too-too-toot)—but this pleasure was denied me—ftoo-too-too>. 1 came instead to Denmark, and the result has come to you by wire.

‘BUSINESS LENGUE ABANDONS OCT. OR ITS BANQUET —— Had Planned to Have Dr. Cook Lecture at the Dinner. :

WILL WAIT NOW — Stir Agent in New York Making Arrangements With the Explorer. ——— a Following the announcement from New York that Dr. F. A. Cook, the North Pole explorer, will probably come to St. Louis to speak at the Coliseum on the night of Oct. 6, the Business Men’s League has cancelled its arrangements for a banquet in the great hall on that date. This arrangement will make it possible for more persons to hear Dr. Cook if he comes. The agents of the league are continuing the negotiations to bring Dr. Cook here. The league officials will not determine the manner of admission to the hall and whether there shall be any charge until it is known if a satisfac-

‘tory contract can be made with Cook. But even if Dr. Cook does not come the banquet will not be held in the Coll- seum as planned. Will Be Smaller Banquet. A banquet will be given by the league, during Centennial week, but it will be @ smaller and a more costly affair than originally planned, and will be given either at the Planters, Jefferson or Southern hotel. “The Busyness Mens League has abandoned its plan to have a banquet in the Coliseum,” W F. Saundérs, secre- tary of the league, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Wednesday. “The Veiled Prophet ball is artanged for Tuesday night in the Coliseum, and it requires at jeast 48 hours to prepare for a banquet there. If Dr. Cook comes, his lecture and music by the Symphony Orchestra will take place in the Coliseum Wednes- day night. ‘The league will give its banquet ac- cording to schedule, but it will be a smaller and more elaborate affair, and wili take place in one of the hotels. No definite arrargementis can be announced until we are sure what Dr. Cook is going to do.” James E. Smith, president of the league, said Wednesday that he has heard nothing of negotiations to pay Dr. Cook $20,000 for an illustrated lecture. Press dispatches from New York say that Dr. Cook has signified his willing- ness to come here if he its guaranteed $20,000 for g talk lasting an hour and 10 minutes in which he will tell for the first time of his dash to the pole and exhibit lantern slides from photographs which he made on the journey. “Dp, C. Nugent is in New York as the agent of the Bus'ness Men's League to induce Dr. Cook to come here,” he said, “but neither Mr. Nugent or any- one els@ was author'ved io offer Cook $10,000 for half an hwtr, or $20,000. for 75 rinutes. “He was instructec merely to find out what price Dr. Cook wanted and that proposition was to »e considered by the executive committee of the Business Men’s League. * “If Dr. Cook's figure is $20,000 I do not think there is any chance that he will lecture here. &f course, I can’t say what the cxecutive committee might do, but we can’. throw away money. “We had figured that we were willing to spend $2500 o, $3000 to bring Coox here. So far 1 have received no in- formation that Nugent has even seen Cook.”’ “The Business Men’s League knows nothing definite as to whether Dr. Cook will appear in St. Louis,” said Secretary W. F. Saunders Wednesday noon. ‘Mr. Nugent was authorized to see Dr. Cook in New York and ascertain for what sum he would appear in St. Louis and for the first time in the United States deliver a lecture about his discovery of the pole. “Mr, Nugent, so far as I know, was not authorized to offer Dr. Cook $10,000 for half an hour's taik, or any other sum. He was simply to communicate to us the figure named by Dr. Cook. We have heard nothing from Mr. Nu- gent. As to whether the league would pay $20,000 for 7) minutes, I cannot say.”

They make light Of the opposi- tion’s argument tha: Folk was defeated by an admittedly weak senatorial candi- date. A powerful contingent is enthusiastic in supporting David R. Francis for Unit- ed States Senator. This threatened conflict is so serious, however, that the ruling spirits have de- cided that the senatorship must not be taken up, even indirectly, at the pres @nt meeting of the committee. Two things, they say, are more important: First, the election of a new chairman, and second, the establishment of perma- nent Democratic headquarters in one ef the downtown buildings, for which con- ~ tributions wll be gratefully acknowl- edged.

Enrique Loynaz del Cas- illo, “Hero of Wajay,” Fights in a Parlor. HAD FAVORITE’ WEAPON Though Regarded as Good Swordsman, His Opponent Proved His Superior. Special Cablegram to. the Post-Dis- patch. HAVANA, Sept. 22. —Gen. Enrique Loynaz del Castillo, “hero of Wajay and 17 other battles and skirmishes,”’ alleged leader around whom the promoters of the famous “cocoanut revolution” of 1907 proposed to rally, defeated candi- date for the governorship of Havana province in 1908, a former member of the National Congress and otherwise notéa in this fair island as one who seldom has a quiet moment, has come to grief. His grief resulted from a duel with Wilfredo Fernandez, editor of El Com- mercio, a Havana daily newspaper. The duel was fought last night in the parlor of a private residence here. Cavalry sabers were used by the com- batants and honors were fiercely con- tested during several minutes of brilliant and skillful fencing before Gen. Loynaz was so severely wounded in his sword arm that he was unable longer to han- dle his weapon. Gen. Loynaz has the reputation of being one of the best swerdsmen in Cube and his defeat at the hands of Senor Fernandez aston- fshed his friends and created surprise even among his enemies. Warrior Challenged Editor, The duel wis the outcome of a sarcas- tic article in El Commercio which caused Gen. Loynaz to challenge Fer- nandez. The editer responded immedi- ately and in his choice of weapons se- lected one with which Gen. Loynaz was cupposed to be most. expert, since the General attaiffed his rank through serv- ice as a cavalry officer. Gen, Loynaz del Castillo, the wounded man, is easily the most picturesque fig- ure In Cuba. Wealthy and an aristo- crat in appearance, he has variously been the idol of a large centingent of the ‘“‘common people” and the laughing stock of the constituted powers—al- though their laughter has always been peculiarly fraught with a species of respect for the General’s principles and fear of his power. His characterization,as “the hero of Wajay” came about through his own ex- ploitation of his conduct at a near- battle fought during the revolution of 1906, when President Palma was de- posed. Gen. Loynaz referred to him- self most égotistically in a series of articles contributed to local papers re- garding the 1906 revolution. Recognized by Roosevelt. At the same time he catalogued vari- ous other “battles and skirmishes’’ in which he claimed to have taken part, and his enemies thereupon dubbed him ‘the hero of Wajay and 17 other bat- tles and skirmishes.’’ Since then cer- tain newspapers opposed to him have persisted in adding that descriptive sen- tence after his name whenever it, has appeared in print. During the American tntervention fol- lowing President Palma’s downfall, Gen. Loynaz was a familiar figure at the palace, and constituted himself an adviser of Gov. Magoon. Occasionally, when matters of importance failed to be decided to his satisfaction, he ap- pealed to President Roosevelt, and at least once a cabled protest from him was answered by President Roosevelt by cable and given_eut to the Cuban newspapers by Gen. Loynaz with con- siderable local effect. Aside from his defeat at the polls as a candidate for cove of Havana Province, Gen. ynaz has always managed to come out with honors of some sort whenever he has gotten in the* public eye here, until the duel last night, with one exception. That excep- tion was ludicrous, tut also gives an excellent idea of the General's posi- tion in the republic. Fought With Electric Fan. While calling on Guv. Magoon in his vapacity as non-official advisor two years ago he got his hand caught in an electric fan at the palace. Filaring neadlines appeared im the Havana pa- pers next morning reiting in detail how the “here of Wajay and f? other vattles and skirmishes” had mixed it up with a fierce electric fan, and come off second best in the encounter. Ob- viously none but a@ man of national prominence would havé received even such facetious publicity. Just what will follow the duel of last night Is not known. The taws of Cuba against dueling are the same as those in the United States, and the gov- ernment has, during recent years, made every apparent effort to break up the practice. Challenges to duel are fre- quent here, scarcely a wéek passing without one or more being noised about. This, however, is One ef the few since the Spanish regime that have actually gone to the point of serious conflict.

which he will use in the Hudson-Fulton flights or the one in which he won the speed championships at Rheims and Brescia, but it is more likely to be his latest machine. The compensation which Curtiss will receive, according to press dispatches is $6000. The first flight on Wednesday or Centennial week is conditional and depends on whether or not it will be possibje for Curtiss to have his ‘machine in running order by that time after its shipment from New York. Flights on Thursday, Friday and Saturday are guaranteed. After the negotiations were completed, Curtiss said that there was little doubt that he would be ready to fly Oct. 6. - Practically Same Terms. The terms are practically the same a= those named by Curtiss in response to the first message sent to him by the Post-Dispatch while a committee of the Acro Club of St. Louis was in New York negotiating with his partner, Her- ring. In order to ascertain directly from Curtiss whether he could come at the appointed time and at what terms the Post-Dispatch cabled to him asking for wha. price he would make flights at the Centennial celebration. He replied that he would fly on three days for $6000. On the advice of its com- mittee in New York the Aero Club then decided to conduct the negotiations from St. Louis.

The Aero Club again cabled him explaining that it would ac- cept the proposition which he had made ' threugh the Post-Dispatch. When it was learned that Curtiss had sailed beiore this nessage reached Faris, the Post-Dispatch used the wire- less to get into communication with him as he was coming across the ocean on the steamer Ka‘ser Wilhelm II. His answec was that he favored the proposition and that he probably would formally accept it on reaching = New York. L. D. Dozier was waiting for him when he lanced and by appointment they met and signed the papers Tues- day night. Mr. Dozier will remain in New York to attend the banquet given in honor of Curtiss by the Lawyers’ Club and to conduct negotiations with the second famous aeronaut, who, he hopes, will agree to fly in St. Louis. He says that he is not at liberty to give the name of this man, but intimates that he would be almcst as great an attraction as Curtiss. | Awards in connection with the Brescia aviation meet were made Tuesday and the Grand Prize of $10,000 was formally voted to Curtiss. He also receives a $600 prize for making the second highest flight at Brescia. His total prize win- nhings at Rheims and Brescia were nearly $18,000.

Rats. They are causing commotion among the telephone girls of St. Louis. Not mice, mind you, but rats. Last season’s rats were all right, but the new crop of fall rats is different. Girl operators in several of the ex- changes have found it necessary either to sacrifice their rats or give up their jobs. When some found that they could not take their pet rats to work with them they resigned. In-most cases they it really was rats. Livé rats? Pesky aside? Mercy, no! up’ milady’s coiffure. fullness and waviness. of the hair must not be ddnfined to the front of the heac, but must extend backward on a line passing just above the ears. Must Follow Equator of Poll. This causes the equator of the wear- er’s poH—there’s a new one for the ex- plorers—to extend several inches on either side of the weusrer’s head. Now, telephone giris are stylish. They are anxious to wear the new rats, but they can’t because of a rule of the com- yanies which says that nothing, must be worn which will prevent the headpieces worn by operators from fitting snugly. These headpieces consist of a metal spring on the end of which is a tele- phone receiver, which, according to the company’s rules, must at all time be in close contact with the operator's ear. There is where the rat comes in—or rather where it sticks out. The most fashionable rats are made of wire, but the operators cannot wear them be- cause they do not “give” sufficiently to permit the receiver to come in contact with the ear. Necessitates Hair Rats. Therefore those girls who wish to comply -with the rules of the com- pany, which are inflexible, though not ratified by the operators, have found it necessary to wear hair rats. These are said to be more trouble- some and more apt to be dislocated than the wire ones. Miss Clara Heiser, superintendent at the Bell Bomont Exchange said Wednesday that while no gpecific rule against rats has been promulgated the girls “understand” that they can- not work if they wear wire rats. Traffic Manager Thompson of the Bell Telephone Co. said he wouldn't think of making a § specific rule against rats, Girls Understand Rule. “Nevertheless,” he sald, “the girls all know that they must not wear anything on their heads which will interfere with the contact of the re- eeiver and the ear. In individual cases if a girl were found to be wearing a rat which prevented this contact she would be advised to re- move it. This may have been done in some specific cases, but the rat is not officially recognized in our print- ed rules.”

é Dislike to Have Anyone Think They Pay Attention to Lat- est Styles as Women Do. O, the men are having the exciting time. . They just can’t keep away from that Fashion Show of the Merchant Tallors’ League at the Southern Hotel. One of the oldest jokes in captivity is that on rainy days more women g0 shopping than on days when the sun is shining, the explanation being that each woman believes every other woman will remain at home and that she herseif will have the pick of all the bargains. Of course it was a man that invented that joke. But look who’s here! See how the lure of fashion draws ‘‘mere man’’ into the meshes of its net. If North Pole explcrers had left trails like those which lead to the Southern Hotel there wouldn't be any Cook-Peary controversy.

Though secretly the:r love for fine ral- ment is as keen as .nat of the women, -*they seem to be asnamed to acknowl- €dge it. ’ Two men met in Southern. “Hello, John,’ said one. you doing here?’ “Just came in to get out of the rain,”’ Teplied Jchn “What are you doing here, Bill?’’ “Came down to meet a customer, but Guess I'll have to Pretty busy the lobby of the “What are get back to the store. these days, eu know.” The rain iet up just then and they separated, each walking toward a dif- ferent exit. Bill looked over his shoul- der, quickly side-stepped and went up the siairs to the parlor floor. \ John looked around. The coast was clear. He took the elevator. They bumped Into each other at the fashion show. “Thought maybe I'd find my custom- er up here,’ said Bill. “It started raining again and I just Came up to see if anybody I knew was loafing around the parlors,’ said John. Now, who's deceitful, the men or the women? Nearly every man who enters the show - has an apologetic explanation, the usu- @' form being: “I was just passing through the parlors and saw this lay- out of clothes. Thought I'd drop ifwand Bee what it was all about.”’ One man who put in the better part of two hours at the show Wednesday did not apologize. He took so appre- Clative an interest that the attendants Were at great pains to explain to him all the structural details of the gar- ments. § He examined fabrics and linings with & critical eye which showed plainly that he was a good judge of sartorial excel- lence.

It seems that McAleer has had such a scheme in mind ever since the first trip the Browns made to the East this year. At that time it was apparent that the Browns} were going to fail, for they had started} out miserably.~ Sirice then it-has been learned that McAleer had numerous conferences with Mr. Noyes and Mr. Minor, the two principal stockholders of the Washington club. Again, while in the East, on the second trip, these men met McAleer in Philadelphia and an- other conference was held. At that time, Ban Johnson, who has always felt ‘kindly toward McAleer, was a fourth party to the conference and it was soon aftér that the news leaked out to a few of McAleer’s close friends that he was trying to buy an interest In the Washington club. “ So in all probability he will become a magnate as well as a manager before another season opens.

HE spiking incident of Mon- day’s game between the Athletics and Detroit at Philadelphia, in which Barry of the Athletics was badly cut on the leg by the armed feet of Ty Cobb, who was making an attempt to steal second base, has again raised the cry against the use of spikes. President Shibe of the Philadel- phia club has declared that the league officials must take some ac- tion this winter to avoid such acci- dents on the baseball field. BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. Y COBB’S prowess on the ball T field has radsed such havoc to op- , posing players during the past two seasons that it now seems likely the officials of the big leagues will have to take action, during the coming winter, to do away with the wearing of baseball spikes;. When Cobb cut down Barry at second base M@iday afternoon in Phfil- adelphia, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. First, it should be made clear to the fans that the source of all this damage ip not “‘spikes’’ at all. Instead of spikes, baseball shoes are equipped with some- thing more resembling knives, They dort stick, they cut. The purpose of weuring these blades is to enable the player to start quickly both in fielding balls and in running bases. It is abso- lutely necessary that the players wear these knives on their shoes or else go with nothing on the soles whatever, for rule 19 of the official playing rules reads like this: No’ player who shall attach any- thing to the sole or heel of his shoe other than the ordinary baseball shoe plate, or who shall appear in a uni- form not conforming to the suits of the other members of his team, shall b2 permitted to take part in a game. This means that In order to do away with “spikes,”’ it will be necessary for the officials of baseball to change the rules. Change Is Imperative. HE danger to players guarding the bases has become too great for present conditions to continue. Its pad for the game to read of players being laid up because of “being spiked.’’ Ty Cobb alone has injured no less than a half dozen men this year, and othe: base runners have injured a few, though no one is so dangerous as Cobb, for no other base runner goes into a base with such daring as the Detroit ‘| star. There are three ways the officials may remedy the evil. The first one and the one that seems most worthy of con- sideration is to do away with the pres- ent baseball plates, and adopt a shoe with dull cleats, probably made of leather, such as are the football shoes used today. Another remedy would be to establish a rule against sliding feet first into bases. Still another would ve to attach a severe penalty to the base runner, if he spikes an opposing player. The first suggestion is practical. Foot- re made to help runners in making quick starts. The leather cleats tdig into the earth quite well enough }to give the man a firm footing. Footbati Tmen have been using them for years ‘}and trampling over one another ih ‘scrimmages, yet one never hears of a | football player being “spiked’’ or cuf. A few basebal) players have expressed the belief that such cleats would not do : Jin baseball and that it would cause ‘the | |} @ame to slow up. Others think they can

Six Knives, Not Spikes, Arm Feet of Base Runner mischief done by the baseball player in sliding into a baseman is said to be occasioned by the “spikes’’ on his shoes. As a matter of fact, there are no spikes worn in baseball, in the sense of spikes as worn on sprinting and running shoes. equipped on the heel and on the ball of the foot with triangular plates. From of these projects three steel knives with blades almost three-fourths of an inch in width. The edges of these are slightly bent inward toward the triangle they enclose, so that the cutting edge is supposedly away from di- an opponent in case of a clash. Many players keep these blades sharpened, to better cut into hard groun The cleats used on foetball shoes are leather and placed differently, as The injury possible through the use of them is lm- The baseball shee is

work around the bases. A few players slide head first, but not one in fifty uses this..method. The only one of great note is Hal Chase of the New York American League club. Hal seldom goes in feet first anc he 18 almost. as adept at stealing a base with his hands as Cobb is with his toes. “i It would hardly do, therefore, to bar from going in feet first, for it would rob the game of much of the base running which has come to be about the best feature. Still, there’s no danger of @ base runner cutting the legs of an op- posing player with his hands. The other suggestion, that of penaliz- ing the base runner when he spikes a player, would not necessarily do away with the evil. It would bring about more caution by base runners and doubtless would eliminate much of the spiking or cutting; but still the basemen would be in danger. Severe Penalty Needed. T had been suggested that if a base | runner spike an opposing player, he be put out of the game. That pen- alty is not.severe enough:to remedy the evil. Base runners would take a chance every time. For, though the baseman would always be liable. to be spiked, still he might escape it most of tlife time. The penalty should be heavier. Besides putting the base runner out of the game, he should be called out on the play, no matter if ne did have the base stolen, and should be held under suspension for a period of three or five days. That would bring about caution, but the evil would still 4xist. If the evil) lies in the “spikes,” do away with them. Spikes are not necessary to baseball. It may take some time for players to believe that, but if they were barred and the men had to use dull leather cleats, they would forget about the old steel blades in a few games. Doubtless the movement to do away with spikes will meet with much oppo- sition. There are firms with money and influence who are manufacturing these spikes. There are patents out on them and they would be rendered worthless } should the magnates rule against them. Bui the manufacturers are not guarding the bases and trying to tag out Ty effect on the action.

Cobb and their pleas should have nothis winter, and it will be Football shoes have never been tried in baseball games, except by amateurs. The big leagues would do well to give them a trial. If they prove satisfac- tory, there would be no more spiking. PRESIDENT HEYDLER THINKS WAGHATES SHOULD GET BUSY bl one thing I cannot under-

stand,’’ says President Heydler of the National League, answer: ‘ing a query of the Post-Dispatch, ‘‘is why the club’ owners themselves have so long neglected to take some action on this matter, in view of the fact that more injuries are caused by spikes than any other. Here are men who have club investments reaching up into six figures, and an injury to one of the star players may not only inca- pacitate him from the game for weeks or possibly forever, but weakened through loss of such a player the club may fall rapidly in the percentage co)- umn and the gate receipts in a corre- sponding ratio. “Spikes are also dangerous for those who use them, as many players are in- jured by their digging too deeply into the soft ground or catching into the bases, thereby Causing the runner to turn his ankle and get a serious sprain. There have been several! attempts made to change to other devices to prevent slipping, although the present spike does not eliminate this trouble in picking up & bunt on wet ground. There was an invention of a chain to cover the spike and aiso a small shield in front, but the pinyers said they both got clogged on wet ground. As a matter of fact, none was ever fully tried by the best players. “I have seen a college team that used a modified form of football cleat and the players said it worked with per- fect satisfaction. This cleat would be well worth a trial. of course, if the spikes were to be eliminated and the basemen and catchers knew there would be no danger from this source in block- ing we might have serious trouble from this infraction of the rules. At any rate, I intend to make the matter a sub- ject requiring legislation in my report up to the Rules Committee to take some action.”

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.—Before Tuesday’s game at Shibe Park Jimmy McAleer, manager ef the Browns, vis- ited Connie Mack’s office for a fanning bee. When asked if he had picked up any good youngsters this season, Mc- Aleer replied, “Oh, just fair." Jimmy may have thought differently, but he was not telling. Then those youngsters of McAieer’s turned im and gave the White Elephants of Connie Mack the surprise of their life. St. Louls won because the Browns ‘played the best ball, although the root- ers of the Athletics tried to éonsole themselves with the thought that the While the offi- Athletics were speechiess game make | a

SHERI LAMPS LID ON MSIC BATTLE ER Harry Trendall and George Memsic will not meet in their scheduled 10-round bout at Suburban Garden. Thursday night, under the auspices of the Com- mercial A. C., according to a statement made by John Grueninger Jr., Sheriff of St. Louls County, Wednesday morning. There have been numerous inquiries every day this week as to whether or

Schackelford, Prosécuting Attorney of St. Louis County, if there would be any _ interference county officials. He said: “I don’t know anything about it. I can’t say whether the bout will be al- be the man to ask about that matter.” Sheriff Grueninger was then ap- proached. “Will the bout be allowed to take place?’ the Sheriff was asked. ‘‘No,”’ he stated instantly. “Under no circumstances?’’ “I said no,: positively no; I will not allow the bou+,”’ in a tone that made further questioning useless. Sheriff Grueninger seemed to consider the fact that the bout had been an- nounced & personal affront. * Suburban Garder, while inside the city limits of Wellston, is also a part of St. Louis County. The promoters of the bout were confident that the contest would be allowed to take place, Mayor Roy Woods of Wellston, when assured that the bout would be nothing but a boxing exhibition, agreed, ac- cording to report, to remain neutral in the matter. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney New- ton, some days ago, declared that the bout would not be permitted to take t ice, but the Commercial A. C. men declared that the contest would be held. Tom Leonard is matchmaker of the Commercial A. C. and is the man who has made all of the arrangements of the bout. . It is said that since the announcement that the Commercial A. C. would bring off boxing bouts that close to 2000 ap- plications for membership have been re. ceived, which indicates the interest in the glove game in St. Louis, where box- ing has nof been permitted for several years.

H. Bledsoe Innocent of Com- plicity in Killing. 44 WENT TO SIGN BAIL

Slayer Is Declared to Have Been Drunk While Im- plicating Others,

Hy From (a Staff Correspondent ef the Post-Dispatch. MALDEN, Mo., Sept. 22.—Cenfident of their acquittal of a charge of complicity in the killing of Joseph N. Scales, July 4, 1908, former City Marshal John H. Bledsoe and Deputy Sheriff John W. Summers are eager fur trial early in October. Bledsoe and Summers both bear excel- lent reputations and the sentiment of the bankers, business and professional men of Malden is decidedly in their fa- yor. When it became known in Mal- den that warrants had been issued in Kennett against Bledsoe and Summers, 42 of the leading citizens of the town went with them to Kennett and signed their bonds. The accused men were each required to give bord for $15,000, but their bondsmen qualified for more than $1,600,000. The charges against Bledsoe and Summers are based on the confession of Leslie Cox, who shot Scales in a moving picture show. Cox's father and Dr. J. W. Beall were killed Feb. 17, 1907, by Dr. A. L. Brannum, who eper- uted a distillery in the outskirts of Charles Scales, a night watch- and his ceusin, Jeseph Brannum, espoused the cause. According to Assistant -Prosecuting Atturney Morris, Cox was under the in- fiuence of liquor when he opened nego- tiatrons for a plea of guilty. The at- torneys for Bledsos and Summers are confident that Cox’s word will not be taken as against the word of the ac- cused man. Cex had been in much. trouble and was wanted in Cairo for abtaining mor.ey under false pretenses at the time of his confession. Declares Accuser Was Drunk. “T am anxious for trial,”” said Mr. Bledsoe to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “The charge against me is based on the confession of Cox and he was under the influence of intoxicants when he made it. Besides, he wants a pardon and de- sired to create some sentiment in his favor by accusing others, “T am charged with conspiring with Cox to kill Scales. The fact of the mat- ter is, I found Cox sitting on a bench in front of my office at 6 p. m. the day he killed Scales. He had been drinking and was crying. *“T asked him what he was crying about. He said he had staod all he could and appeared to be desperate. I scalled him into my son’s livery stable and admonished him to go home. I said: ‘Leslie; you can’t afford to get into any more trouble. You have made enough trouble for your mother now. Go home and stay there.’ “Two men in the livery stable .were standing by and heard me tell him this. They said to him: ‘Mr. Bledsoe is giv- ing you good advice. You take it.’ ‘‘Cox testified te these fact in his first trial. Now, when he makes a state- ment against me, his word is taken as against his first statement. There was talk of issuing a warrant against me when the killing occurred. Mr. Morris, who is assisting the prosecuting attor- ney In the case now, would noi hear of of it then. He said it was preposterous to accuse me. “I have lived in this town 28 years, and I am 64 years old. Here and else- where I have been an officer of the law for 35 years. I have always en- forced the law. The last time I ran for Marshal of Malden I received 336 votes and my opponent received two. “As soon as my neighbors heard of the charge against me they came to me and asked to sign my bond. I did not wait to be arrested, but went to Kennett with my, business and profes- sional friends and gave bond.” Hopes Feud Is Ended. Summers would say only that he is innocent and desired to be tried as soon as possible. J. L. Downing, attorney for Summers and Bledsoe, said: “These two men have been the foe of evil-doers in Malden for years. They have always been for law and order. -Their past lives is a refutation cf the charges now made against them. There was ‘no reason why either should desire to have Scales killed. “They will not only be acquitted, but completely exonerated when they are tried.”’ It is said Cox told the Prosecuting Attorney that Summers gave him the money to pay his way into the show to kill Seales. Mr. Dewning says Cox bor- rowed 2 cents from Summers before g0- ing into the picture show, but that Sum- mers had no knowledge of Cox’s inten- tions when he made the loan. Regarding the feud that has already cost four lives, Mr. Bledsoe, who neither drinks, uses tobacco or swears, said: “| hope it is over. There have been enough killings and I want to see no a R. A. Cox, a brother of Leslie Cox, who bas an office just across the street from Bledsoe’s office said: “This feud has cost cnough lives, and ‘ought to end. I leek for no more trou- bie.” CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE.

WEST STUDYING EASTERN ROADS: Oklahoma and Texas Men Touring East.as President Yoakum’s Guests. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.—B. F. Yoakum, head of the Rock Island-Frigco Railroad system, is here to meet a party of Southwestern farmers who are on a tour of inspection of good roads in Mastern states. They have been brought East in furtherance of Mr. Yoakum’s Plan of assisting the development of the West and Southwest through the con- struction of good roads. Leaving the private car in which they nave been traveling they will be taken in automobiles for a two days’ tour over the fine roads of New Jersey. Gov. Fort is to meet them at Lakewood, where he will deliver an address on what that State has accomplished in road building. Later they will tour Connecticut, Mas- sachusetts and New Hampshire, return- ing to New York next week for the Hud. son-Fulton celebration. Will Study Road Building. ‘The object of this tour,"” Mr. Yoakum said today, “is to study the methods of construction and maintenance of good roads by the older states that have been spending large sums Of money in the work. Good roads are now vecoming ef great importance in the development of the agriculture of the country. The knowledge gained by the Southwestern- ers from their inspection of the roads over which we expect to pass will en- able them to make valuable recom- mendations to the new states where read building is in its infancy, “Good roads in the West will enable the farmer to market his produce with less expense and increase his efficiency in farm work.” tn the party are C.

300 SURGEONS ASSEMBLE T0 SEE OPERATION PERFORMED INVOLVING BRAIN TISSUES To Avoid Possibility of Inflamma- tion Two Days Will Be Taken for Task. : By Leaseqd Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Three hundred doctors from all over Greater New York assembled yesterday at the Kings County Hospital to witness an opera- tion on Harry Judkowitz of Brooklyn for a growth on the brain’s lower sur- face, anteriorly. Judkowitz lost his eyesight nine months ago, and his memory failed him completely. He grew rapidly worse, and for the last six months has been in a state of coma, recovering .con- sciousness only for brief. periods. He could not recognize anybody. To correct this condition, caused by the pressure of the growth on the brain centers, the surgeons cut a pas- sage through the nasal bones to the brain. To reduce the risk of inflamma- tion of the delicate membranes that in- close the brain, that is, the risk of miningitis, the doctors will allow the patient to rest two days. Tomorrow afternoon they will complete the opera- tion and remove the growth. This is the first time an operation of the kind has been performed in Great- ér New York. Judging from the pua- tient’s condition, the surgeons say it will be a success. They think tha growth was caused by a form of can- cer.

One Devil, Many Demons, Rut now, though his conception of the devil's personal appearance has under- sone a change, he still believes as firmly as ever in the malignant personality of the Evil One and stil! holds that the wicked being is conducting a systematic and ¢unning campaign ror evil with all the ingenuity, or more, that is displaved by the most notorious offender among the monopolistic trusts. “The greatest difficulty for the aver- age person,” said the Rev. Dr. Betts to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘is to con- ceive, of a personality that is all spirit, immaterial, disembodied, invisible to our sensual eyes. That is what the devil s, however. “The Bible speaks of Diabolos in the singular always, although,.demons are mentioned frequently in the plural. Therefore there is one devil, the general superintendent of the forces of evil, and a vast, but unknown number of assist- ants—demons. Does Not Work on Individuals. “The devil personally does not work on individuals. That would be impossi- ble. He ‘has to carry on the details oi his work through the demoniac agents. They are busy everywhere, all the time, trying to combat good and replace it with evil, “These demons or evil spirits often take entire possession of a man. Then the man belongs to the devil and there is-a triumph for the forces of evil, not only in the man’s particular case, but also he becomes an assent to carry. on the devil’s work against others. “For instance, I was passing a corner the other day. Three men stood there. I don’t even know their names and never spoke to them in my life. But they addressed dirty, mean remarks to me, just because I was a preacher and because, being under the influence of the devil’s demons, they hated anything good.

I was sitting in my study one day when I said to the Lord that if he would enable me to get the money I would send two Chinese children to school for a year. Immediately the thought came to me, ‘Deliver a lecture.’ “I never had delivered a lecture, but I told the Lord I would do so. Then I asked Him for a subject and itmme- diately the thought came to me—‘The Devil and the Fool.’ I studied the devil for six months.” Then I. delivered my lecture. I have delivered it more than 300 times since and through it I sent a Chinese boy and girl through a four ; year school course. “T regard the testimony of the devils to the divinity of Jesus when he was about to cage them out as among the must convincing proofs in the Scr’p- tures, for that testimony came from an inimical and hostile source.”’ Dr. Betts saia he did not believe in a hell of fire and brimstone.

aes A NATIONAL LOSS. Without intending to suggest comparison wf the ability and achievements of the two men, the late Gov. Johnson of Minnesota may be described as the Lincoln type of pub- lic man. He struggled out of poverty and hardship to a high public position. He was self-educated. His character was distinguished by simplicity, sincerity, rugged honesty. He was democratic in manner, feeling and opinion. He won the affection as well as the admiration of all who came in contact with him, even his political

_ Opponents. He was popular. His integrity, fidel- ‘ity to public trust and breadth of sympathy and view gained the support of men of all political ties. : To say that the death of a man of his character, tapacity and record is a loss to his rolitical party is @ narrow st.tement. It 1s a loss to the coun- try. He was a bright hope of his party and a pos- sibility of great service to his country. We have need of men of the Johnson type, men with his sincerity of purpose, good sense, broad sympa- thies, courage and uncompromising honesty. Three times Democratic Governor of a Re- publican State, what he might have accomplished in the field of national politics, which he was en- tering, is now a matter of regretful speculation. —-. »

For the same reasons, ‘but. to a different pur- pose Democrats will join Republicans in fondly hoping that Gov. Hadley will put no stumbling blocks in the path of Senator Warner’s ambition. Senator Warner is one of Missouri’s g¢ atest as- sets. He cam. near winning the race for sena- torial obsequiousness to Aldrich and it was only Smoot’s superior conduct at the barrier that gave him the lead in the stretch. Once they were . Straightened away Warner ran him a pretty close race. In another trial, as likely as not, Warner would show the way for Smoot to Missouri's last- ing glory.

WHAT ISSUES? It is not of supreme importance that the Mis- souri Democrats assembled here for conference ‘shall select the Democratic candidate for the Unit- ed States Senate. That question may go over for awhile without loss to the party. It might be left to the decision of the voters in the primaries, with distinct gain to the party. State committee of first importance; nor the ad- justment of personal differences’ and ambitions between party leaders; nor the settlement of per- sonal grievances; nor the harmonizing of fac- tional leaders. Not one of these accomplishments will regain the State or restore the party’s lost supremacy. All of them together will not necessarily assure victory. e The paramount question to be determined be- fore a hope of victory can be entertained is, what will the party stand for? Will it represent the people or the interests? Will: it be reorganized for the service of the people or for the service of the corporations? Will the factions be harmon- ized with the wrécking faction in control? What issues will the party offer the people? Will they be reactionary or progressive? Will jt try to revive the old, worn-out slogans, the old shams under the leadership of the “old gang” of lobbyists and political pirates, or will it present new measures based upon sound principles under the direction of men of integrity, courage and ideas? a A.»

Everyone knows that‘Standard Oil is a mag- nificent business concern. Its organization and methods are models for the acquisition of the lar- gest possible profits with the least possible ex- penditure. It exemplifies in marvelous perfec- tion the art of universal toll-taking and of say- ing the face of honesty with the form of legality. Everyone knows its founder as the shrewdest and most far-seeing and the richest business man in the world—a man who typifies a rare combina- tion of extreme piety with excessive acquisitive- ness. It has remained for the Rev. Dr. Bitting to present both the organization and its founder in a new light—the organization as a public bene- faction—a sort of religious commercial institu- tion—shedding the oil of gladness on a hard- hearted, ungrateful people; its founder as a saint wnose Christian grace is so perfect that he hears with patience the indignant protests of those from whom he takes toll and views with long- suffering compassion the vain efforts of those who would enforce the law against him. It is a wonderful transformation. i Ae Ae ws eS PROGRESS IN ST.: JOSEPH. The Municipal Voters’ .eague is making ar- rangements to have one of the directors of the New York Bureau‘of Municipal Research address the Board of Freeholders. Some excellent infor- mation can be obtained from this source. The Bureau of Municipal Research is practically a clearing house of knowledge of city government, and most particularly has it been instrumental in solving the vexatious and complicated problems of municipal bookkeeping and accounting. The Freeholders should also take notice of the new charter approved by popular vote of the peo- ple of St. Joseph. This charter presents a modifi- cation of the commission form of government in compliance with Missouri law. It is notable that St. Joseph is the largest city that has yet come to an approximation of the commission plan. The variation from that plan is in the retention of a small City Council of five members, elected at large, and with powers of legislation only. The commission scheme is followed in the increased powers of the Mayor, on whom is placed the en- tire responsibility for the public service. This is distinctly the commission idea. The Mayor ap- points the heads of all departments, and while the Council may decline confirmation, objections must be in writing and concern themselves only with the fitness and qualifications of the nominee. Other features of the St. Jusepk charter are a limitation of 25: years on all franchises and a referendum on petition of 25 per cent of the voters, while provision is also made for the ini- tiative and the recall. A Public Utilities Commis- sion is a conspicuous feature. _ St. Louis cannot wait to see the results of this experiment in municipal government, but it may well heed the progressive work of a Missouri City which has displayed the courage to work out the great problem along somewhat new lines and in the face of vigorous, if covered, opposition from the utility corporations and the reactionary element.

They are anything but friends, and Cook realizes that this attempt to reach the pole, much less his ultimate success, Will earn Peary’s everlasting hatred. And Peary, in turn, will use every method to arrest this attempt or refute any state- ment by Cook regarding his success. Hence, Peary’s taking of Cook’s stores, etc. Peary hears nothing of Cook, but realizes that there is no time to be lost, but neither must he leave a stone unturned in halting Cook. Cook, suspecting Peary’s presence in that vi- cinity. makes a detour of the North, an/, on return” ing, meets his friend, Whitney, to whom he intrusts his records or proofs, fearing either a mishap or an attempt at foul play. His agreement with Whitney is that the latter shall keep absolute silence and re- main away from civilization until Peary returns and makes the expected statements in contradiction ot Cook’s story, Whitney to remain in the North under the pretense of hunting. Whitney is justified in sym- pathizing with Cook, and, without making the facts known, Whitney could hardly accept of Peary’s in- vitation to return with him on the Roosevelt. Cook returns, claiming success. Peary returns, claiming likewise. Cook congratulates Peary. Peary accusés Cook of “handing the public a gold brick.’’ Cook will make his statement and furnish some proofs. Peary will make a more complete attempt at making a fool of himself and pat himself on the back, thinking that he has won. Cook will continue in his cool, calm and collected manner the same that has already en- titled him to the respect of every fair-minded citizen. And just when Peary is about to grasp his ill-gained glory a young,.man named Whitney will suddenly tease hunting in Greenland, returning with irrefuta- ble proofs of Cook's suffering and final victory, and then ‘‘So long, Mary.’’ I mean ‘Peary.’’ SHERLOCK HOLMES, Per P.

Having read, your editorial on ‘‘Democratic Reor- ganization,’ Sept. 9, and others along that line, and approving of what you say, let me add a few words. Among other things, you said: “The first thing for the Missouri! Democrats,to determine is why the party organization has been deserted by the voters.” On another Occasion, speaking of the death of the Jefferson Club, you said: ‘The organization repre- sented a combination of fraud and force. It used the police and gangs of repeaters and ballot-box stuffers to carry elections.”” Tnat “the principles of democ- racy are sound and popular ever. The rank and file of the party are hones patriotic. The defeat of the party and the,destruction of its machine was caused by nization’s departure from Demo- cratic principles and its betrayal of the people.”’ Correct. There is, therefore, a good reason why the party has been deserted—deserted because the rank and file were ignored and betrayed. And, while there are many who complain because Hon. D. A. Ball “was robbed of a well-earned nomination” in the pri- mary, Aug. 1908, that in itself is not of as much im- portance as the fact that many thousands of voters were disfranchised by fraudulent voting in the big cities. You have frequently and justly condemned the steal- ing of elections, stating that the question of honest elections “‘overshadows all other issues. It must be settled right before any other issue can be settled.”’ Some of the politicians who are down and out be- cause of their misdeeds are. talking harmony with the hope that they will be entrusted leadership. Such talk will not satisfy the rank and file. There can be no harmonious action on such a basis. Hence the necessity or organizing a movement of sincere, patri- otic men—men of manhood and courage, of intelli- gence, integrity, morality and determination. This movement will have to urge legislation, constitutional] and statutory, by force of which the ballot boxes can be opened and the votes recounted, the frauds uncov- ered and punished for treason. Now is the time to begin. There is danger in delay. Who will be the first to volunteer his services? CHARLES J. MAURER. Time to See the Parades, Etc. To the Editor of the Poat-Dispatch. In view of the great time coming in which all St. Louis is interested, especially all big commercial concerns, who are doing everything in their power to have big crowds here and all kinds of entertain- ment, the managers of our Centennial celebration should endeavor to have some plan in effect where- by all commercial concerns and work would cease for that week at 12 m. in order to give those who reside and earn their living here a chance to see the great parades, etc. This is a move in the right direction that seems to have been overlooked. This would make a gala week indeed. A WORKER. Good Word. for Conductors. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The letter in Saturday's issue signed “A Passen- ger” was from a gentleman; we wish there were many others. That is the fourth letter of praise from this city bordering on a million in a little more than two years, as against scores of articles which would leave the impression that the average street car conductor was & Httle more than a deadbeat. Now, reader, give us a chance. The employing agent for the United Railways employs more men and nas had more experience im that line than any other one man west of the Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, From the Pittsburg Dispatch. St. Louis was named after a very good man, but has never followed his example very perseveringly. It is the metropolis of everything west of the Mississippi River, and doesn’t mind mentioning it. Between the remarks of St. Louis on the east side of Missouri and Kansas City on the west, the mules in Central Missouri have lost their voices trying to be heard above the din. St. Louls has 600,000 people, two dozen railroads, 50 skyscrapers, and a world’s fair debt. Its greatest wonders are its railroad station, in which passengers may run for 32 trains at the same time, the Eads Bridge, a 100-acre brewery and a dollar which the late municipal gang overlooked in the City Hall. St. Louis had the largest world’s fair on record in 1904, and recovered from it in a re- markably short time. It is an American city of French ancestry, but now has a pronounced German accent. St. Louis is the wholesale center for the whoie Southwest, and the traveling men em- ployed in the city would fill 1111 smok- ing cars, allowing two seats per trav- eling man. St. Louis is not artistic, but points with pride to the fact that it has the finest botanical garden in the coun- try. The Mississippi River runs past the front door of the city, which facx is regarded with some resentment, it be- ing claimed that this is the only thing that ever gets past St. Louis. The city has more than its share of skyscrapers, but has not had a champion basebal! club in 20 years, which has retarded its growth to some extent. FARMING IN EASY-CHAIRS. From the New York World. To do one’s work seated in a chair, to. have money in bank and in pocket, to own automobiles and trotting horses, to wear good clothes, to have plenty to eat and drink, and to see wealth in grain, vegetables and livestock accumu- lating, with no gievance except that la- borers are few—that is the picture which Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agri- culture, draws of the Western farmer. If the prosperity thus officially attest- ed be real the cities and towns of this country contain millions of people who have been hopelessly deluded, for in spite of Mr. Wilson’s assertions there is an unending procession from the farm to the factory. Men do not exchange abundance for scarcity, the comfort of independence for the anxiety of depend- ence or the pleasure of computing pro- fits for the pain of sqiving the cost-of- living problem. Accepting Mr. Wilson’s statement, we must ask, not as of old, Why do people leave the farms? but, Why do not people leave the cities?

THE FEMALE CHAUFFEUSE. From the New York Tribune. Taxicabs are a necessary institution in Paris, and they are all kept busy, ac- cording to @ statement in a trade jour- nal of that city, but one particular “taxi” seems to have the preference over all others. Its halting place is in front of one of the largest hotels, but it is seldom be seen there, because of the popularity of its driver, who is a young, full-blooded negress. She is an expert at the wheel, wears a dark blue tailor-made ' to The -

MRS. L. H. BLUM, 1411 Pendleton avenue. Safety in Business. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Had I a daughter, I would most cer- tainly give her a business training. As in business she can earn a better sal- ary, have her certain hours for work and leisure, and be more independent than a girl not at work or one doing domestic work, and then the business training gives any girl system, regular- ity and neatness and is apt to make a better wife, mother and housekeeper for that training. And so far as tha temptations of a business career, I think it depends on the girl whether she has those temptations or not. I have been in offices for over ten years and I have never had any man say or do the least ungentlemanly thing. I think it depends on a girl’s deportment if she has the so-called business temp- tations. If am business girl marries and is left a widow without meanz, that training again comes to her aid. She can better ‘support herself and chiil- dren or run his business to make her living, which is easier than sewing or doing domestic work, and surely mere remunerative. Then, too, if my daughter did not marry, she could always be independent and put something by for the rainy day when she is an old maid, and not have to depend on the mercy of rela- tives to take care of her in old age. My sympathy always goes out te the poor old unfortunates, and usually in- competents who have spent their livés. in domestic service, and when they ge: beyond a certain age no one wants them, where if she is a business wom- an when old she is usually expert in some line and has no difficulty in ger- ting work.

ANNA C. DILCHER. 1423 Marcus avenue. A Bas the Clinging Girl. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If my daughter did not show decided } talent for some one thing, I would choose a business career for her for this reason: A girl should be competent> to take care of herself. There are too many: breakers ahead in life for her not to be able to cope with any situa- tion fate might force upon her. The day of the clinging, dependent girl is almost over, they are not a suc- cess as wives for the average salaried business man. He wants a helpmate, one that if reverses come can put her shoulder to the wheel and help fight the battle. I worked several years tn an office where there weré over 200 girls em- ployed and I feel safe in saying that 60 per cent of them had but one object in life, and that was a home and hus- band. To say business life spoils a giri for a wife is utter foolishness. There are very few that really prefer a busi- ness career to home and babies. peatedly have I seen high-salaried girls, stenographers and private secretaries, succumb to Cupid, and sometimes I was tkeptical enough to think the inordi- nate desire for a home was mistaken for the Httle God of Love, but I know many of them personally that made sweet, helpful wives and wise mothers. It is true, business life does destroy a young girl's illusions, but we are learning to talk and explain the mys- teries of life to our daughters more than in former years. Now the wise mother begins to explain and teach her child knowledge of life as it is, as soon as she is capable of understanding, and by the time she is old enough to meet the public her standards are well es- tablished, and while she may lose some illusions, she will retain enough to keep her a true, sweet woman, and her busi- ness life will net prevent her from be- ing & success as a housekeeper. Before she is old enough te enter any kind of a Career the right kind of a mother will inculoate the fundamental principles of housework on her mind, then when she gets a home of her own there will be interest enough there to make learning easy. It doesn’t require years to master the art of housekeeping; any intelll- gent girl can learn it if she will. MRS. OTTO MUELLER, 802A Eads Avenue. Love the Best Role, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Broadly speaking, I should not want my daughter to enter a business career unless compelled by necessity, and then only as a stepping stone to independence and ultimate marriage. There are some occupations which develop the best there is in woman and rather enhance their native charm. Such are the school room, the higher drama, literature. The fact remains, however, that by temperament and divine commandment woman is a home maker and race build- er. The business woman largely is a product of a false mora} propaganda, and of the intense ,commercial spirit of our age, which exalts material success at the expense of true manhood and womanhood. Women’s presence in those occupa- tions which are properly masculine, and which inevitably depreciate the feminine qualities, is inimical. The business wom- an disturbs the economy of nature, which, ‘if unimpeded by artificial re- straints, wisely provides a balance of op- portunity for men and homes for women. She lowers wages, adds to the army of unemployed men, and lessens a man’s chances a8 a real or prospective hus- band. The logical inference is that where the business woman becomes numerous eligible husbands will become scarce. Moreover, business should. not be allow- ed to exhaust the energy that should be conserved for the production of a race of sturdy Americans. What we need is to get back te the primitive virtues of the ‘older’ days, when an Esther was the prevailing type of woman, and when man assumed the dignity of an Ahasuerus. Men may re- spect the business woman; but it takes the modest, mysteriously feminine crea- ture to spur his ambition and cali forth his best efforts. And somehow the se-

And her daughter had a decided talent for sewing and a pronounced taste for cooking. Let them cultivate these bents, beginning very early, say at the age of 12.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 22._A man who came from Richmond, Va., where he had registered at a hotel as James Elmer and was wanted on a charge of forgery, tective office of the Central Railroad of New Jersey while the detectives were searching his baggage. At his side when he killed himself was a woman he had brought from Memphis, Tenn., ard to whom, according to her story, he was to have been married here. The woman told the detectives that she was an orphan and admitted having lived as best she could for the last eight months. She said that she met Elmer in Memphis. “He told ‘me his name was James Murphy,” she said, “and that he was connected with a bank note company. He said he was on a vacation and he promised to marry me if I came to New York with him. I don’t know what the Richmond police want him for. My own name is Lucy Elmer and my home is in Asheville, N. C.” Married Last Year in Chicago. Elmer’s body was taken to a morgue in Jersey City and the woman was locked up at police headquarters there. When the police got Elmer’s trunk and traveling bag open at headquarters they found about twenty-five checks, some signed, some biank, made out on banks all over the country. There was $360.76 in cash and a revolver in his clothes. Letters and other papers found in the under thé name of James Gilbert Stick- ney and thet he was married at 5828 South Park avenue, Chicago, Aug. 19, 1908, by *he Rev. John W. Nicely to Paulina Ke‘ly. Tww letters were found, one from this woman's mother and one from her father, indicating that the marriage had proved unhappy. A letter dated Dec. 4, 1908, from Pert- land, Ind., was signed William M. Kent. In it Kent says that he was the girl's father and that she had run away from home and had been qrrested in Chi- cago. Many Checks Found, There was another letter from Mrs. Kent to him under the name of White in Sioux Falis, in which was written: “Tf you get out this time watch next time. It pays to be careful.”’ Among the many checks and check books found among Elmer's effects was @ check made out to James Elmer. Among the checks was one signed “James Gilbert Stickney” for $150 on the bank of Oldham, S. D.; one on the Savings Bank of Larchwood, Io., for $1000; a check on the first National of Solomon, 8. D., for $1060, and another made out in the name of J. M. John- stone on the Garden City State Bank of South Dakota for $1500. Wanted for Forgery.

Sor ee ap > OF WARDS 7 a0 10 THE CHARTER BOARD

Municipal Assembly Will Also Pass on the Changes in the Boundaries. rhe Ward Redistricting Committee of the Civic League, composed of three Republicans and three Democrats, will submit a map to the Municipal Assem- bly and the Board of Charter Revision Freeholders in furtherance of efforts to have the wards of the city redistricted, in accordance with the charter and the State law. The map shows the registration of voters by blocks. The charter requires that the ward limits shall be corrected every five years and as nearly as pos- sible equalize the number of voters in the wards, but this has not been done for five years because, it is said, of the opposition of politicians, who feared that their political control would be dis- turbed. Mayo Fesler; secretary of the Civic League, calls attention to the fact that the Twenty-eighth Ward has 11,000 vot- ers, while the Third Ward has only 3000. The unequal distribution results in the Third Ward having three times the representation In the Municipal Assem- bly that nll Twenty-eighth Ward has.
