Ross Hill, president. For several years the students have been using this short, little word to express their antagon- iam for their ancient enemy, the Uni- versity of Kansas. In an address before the student body, Dr. Hill said: “I have always thought the use of these terms be- neath the dignity of the university, but I refrained from speaking of it’ before Thanksgiving for fear of hurt- ing the spirit. I hope that in the future they will not be used by students of the university.” The yell that the president con- demns is; “Well, well, well. “Was that Kansas?

Explorer, in Interview — -. on Train, Declares He Will Tell St. Louisans Something New About the Pole, Though.

, A double file of men and women formed an aisle for Commander Robert BE. Peary Friday’ afternoon at Union Station, as he passed from his train to the automobile waiting to convey-him to the St. Louis Club. Hardly a cheer was heard as the tall conqueror of the North, in company of David R. Francis, Charles F. Wenne- ker, A. W. Douglas, James E. Smith and others from business organizations, passed through the midway, carrying in his hand a small wooden box which con- tains his 90 treasured lantern views, the feature of his Friday night lecture at the Coliseum. The silent welcomers saw a man of powerful build, with bristling reddish mustaches, wearing a slouch hat and looking every inch a commander. Won't Talk of Cook. “T am in your hands,’’ said the ex- plorer to the Million Club’s committee. His manner to his hosts, as it had been toward fellow passengers on: the train, was the soul of suavity and courtesy. No eyidence seemed to remain of the mental tension which marked his man- ner in the days when the Cook contro- versy raged most flercely. Instead, his manner was that of a man who, having warned. the public not to be fooled, felt that he had done ’his duty, and that no one could in future blame him for hav- ing withheld the warning. Questions about the ‘missing Dr. Cook,” put to him on his: arrival at the station, Were answered decisively, though not at all grimly, with the state- ment that he would talk of his own work only. In an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter, who met his train at In- dianapolis, Commander Peary made it ‘clear that he would do his’ best in his Coliseum lecture to avoid the subject of Cook and the Cook controversy. At ‘tthe same time, his statement, that. he would speak wholly without notes, left room for the belief that’ he might ‘go farther jnto the delicate subject, which is never far from ‘his thoughts, than an intended. He said: } “_ shall speak without notes. A wan who has been at the North Pole ean tell about it without notes.”

lion ‘Population ‘Club.’ who, met : Com- mander Peary in Philadelphia, was his traveling companion. The other pas- sengers soon discovered.the discoverer and as he ran ‘his treasured slides through his big silk handkerchief, those on the train became his audience. There wag handclapping when, hold- ing one of the views to the window, Commander Peary showed the Stars and Stripes flying: at the pole, and safd: “That's what the whole thing means, what it. all stands for, divorced from any personal element. It means that whoever placed it there—the American flag is the‘only flag that has ever been taised—the. only . one ‘that could. be raised—at the pole.”’ ‘There,’ he said, as he held two slides simultaheously to the light, “you can see what. that march to.the pole and back meant to the men who spend their whole livés in Arctic climes.” Shows “Before and After” Photos. One picture was that of a:round-faced, laughing Eskimo, showing every tooth in his glee at being photographed. The othér was a face as jank and serious ag the Commaznder’s own, a*face which it did not seem could be the same as that in the other view, But it was. A simi- lar effect* was shown in’ “before and after” pictures of another Eskimo. ‘‘Remember, we had .not been on short rations,” he said. “It was the hard, grinding toil of those 413 miles each way. And these are. adults—tough, seasoned men.’ Here he stopped short, but a smile ‘went . around as his hearers mentally completed. the comparison with the youthfulness of Cook's two —— be: companions. ‘Tt was impossible for the ——— to keep away from the subject of the Cook controversy in Philadelphia,’ said Mr. Karbe aside to the reporter. “He refused to discuss Cook in interviews and did not actually mention his name in his lecture, but a great deal of what he said on equipment and on the impog- sibility of reaching the pole without the’ fullest equipment and supporting Dar- ties, had a direct bearing on the Cook issue and the audience took it in that X sects RWENS fee pagers ——

ARREST OF TW Frank ‘H. Ruhr and Fred ‘Bian- ‘chi Held for Death of William Cordes. — — ññ— Frank H. Ruhr, 2 years old, 1526 North Eighth street, and Fred Bianchi, 23 years old, 1619 Franklin avenue. were arrested Friday by Detectives O’Brien and Garvey on warrants issued in Hast St. Loulg charging them with the mur- der of William Cordes, 16 years old. son of Henry J. Cordes, °517 Farrar street, whose body was found in Blatt Lake in August, 1908. — Three other warrants have been issued and search. is being made for the men named in these. The issuance of the warrants is the re- sult of the work of the mother of the young man in gathering evidence. When her son’s body was found the Coroner’s verdict was that death had ‘been acci- dental, but Mrs. Cordes believed the boy had been ‘murdered. ~- Facts Given to Police. She set to work: gathering evidence and brought such facts to the attention ef the East St. Louis authorities that they @ssued the warrants. Cordes had €106 When he went.to Bluff Lake on ‘a fishi p.. He intended to buy a horse. When.his body was found the money was gone. When the two men were ‘taken to the office of Chief of Detectives Smith he told them they were wanted in East st. Louis on a charge of murder and asked them if they” weré Willing to go aéross without papers.» They said they were willing and: denied that they knew any- thing about the murder case. Ruhr and: Bianchi say they were at the home of Alex Holder on Pittsburg Lake at the end of the State street car line the Sunday afternoon that Cordes was drowned. Holder’s moth- er, Gus Ruhr, @ brother of Frank, and several girls were there. They say they left there between 6 and ¢ o'clock and reached Third street and Washington avenue about 6:30. Ruhr and Cordes wefe at that time employed by the same grocery com- pany, but Ruhr says he did not know that Cordes was at Bluff Lake until he read of the drowning. TG : : tLe

The commander, in answer to a ques- tion, said he had made ho objection to Hengon’s lecture tour or to any public statement by any of the men of his ex- pedition.

He said that during the winter he, in would speak in several large cities. The Coliseum lecture is his first popular one since his last return, the other two, in Washington and Philadelphia, having been before geographical societies. An- other such lecture is to be delivered in New York on his return. He said he received a letter from ex- President Roosevelt a few days ago, but that he did not expect to make its contents public. Its general tone was shown by a cablegram sent by the former President to H. L. Bridgman of thé Peary Arctic Club. “Perhaps my game wasn’t as big Mr. Rooseévelt’s,”” remarked Commander Peary as he showed the pictures of some immense musk oxen, “but we thought we did pretty well to get 14 of these and one polar bear at once. We had to cache most of the meat.’ The explorer is in splendid voice and expects to make himself heard in St. Louis’ biggest hall.

President Taft sat staring at a

big bundle of proof sheets of his mes- sage on which the executive editors had used the blue pencil unsparingly. The message was rushed to the public printer, and a big force of compositors is at work on it.

None of e Cabinet mempers would indicate the changes made in the mes- sage nor its principal subjects, that the Nicaraguan situation was brought up, and that some referénce to the present strained relations would be made in the document.

Bs SD | Following the separation of the Frisco and Rock Island systems, the report is nersistent in railroad and financial cir cles that Edwin Hawley is contemplat- ing the formation of a gigantic holding company to include the Missouri, Kan- sas & Texas Railroad Co., St. Louis & San Francisco, St. Louis, Toledo & Western, Chicago & Alton, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Evansville and Terre Aaute and Chesapeake & Ohio. Dispatches from New York say that | the North American Co. may figure as the holding corporation, although St. Louis financiers assert this is not more than a possibility. The election of James Campbell to the presidency of the North American Co. is the chief basis, they say, for the New York reports. ⸗ _ Campbell and Hawley Friends.

WANTS FEW PRESENTS

‘Perhaps She Will Be the One That Your Dime Will Help - Make Happy.

Here is a letter that has come to the office of th. Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Association. Read it—for it will help you much better than any words will to understand why. every festival on Christmas day. ; East St. Louis, Nov. 29, 1909. Dear Santa Claus: This will be a sad Christmas for us this year as our dear little sister Bessie died four weeks ago today. We know that she is much happler than we are, but you may bring us a few presents. My sister Myrtle wants a large doll buggy and locket and I am only 6 years old so bring me a Gol. buggy and a ring and please bring a chair for my sister Bessie’s bi; Teddy bear which she got last year so that we can keep ‘'the Teddy bear forever. O, if she were only .here, but there are others to give her presents. Please bring Us candy and nuts and don’t forget mamma and papa. you. From a good little girl. JUNIATTA GARTNER, 248 Bond avenue. abe Letters Received. This is one of the many letters. In all of them that come from children be- tween the sprawling lines you can read the great importance of Christmas in the mind of. a child. To them it is a day. of woniJerful promise and surprises. Fortunately most of thém are never al- lowed to think of it otherwise, for every Christmas their presents come regularly. But it is for the many hundreds of children of the poor that your aid is asked so th t they, too, may continue to think this day the one eventful day of the year. And it is for the men and women without homes, without shelter, who are not only expecting to receive no presents on that day, but who-anticipate no happiness or. cheer of any kind. You wouldn’t have a.uyone miserable on Christmas, would you? And surely not when it means the giving of just a little of what you have. Every Little Helps. What is a dime to you? A cigar, a ticket to a moving picture show. What's a quarter to you? A drink -vith a friend, a magazine. You spend your dimes and your quarters without thinking almost and yet if every reader of the Post-Dis- pitch turned in a dime or a quarter to the Christmas Festival Fund, do you know that there -‘ould not be a poor man, woman or child on Christmas day who would not receive cheer and hos- pitality. Think it over. “WOMAN'S RIGHTS” ATTACKED IN PIERCE PERJURY TRIAL Defense Contends Oath Adminis- tered by Feminine Notary Is Not Binding. Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 3.—The compe- tency of a woman to hold public office in. Texas, the point which occupied the ‘entire session of’/the H. Clay Pierce trial yesterday, again was the subject today. C. H. Jenkins, special counsel for the State, presented many authorities to show that an oath made before a prop- erly qualified notary, even though the notary be a woman, is binding, and that false swearing in such case is perjury. Attorney George W. Allien of counsel for the defense had argued against the admission of the affidavit on which the indictment is based. He said it was in- admissible because the oath was not ad- ministered as.required by law,. nor by

‘@ pérson competent in law: because there could be no prosecution for per- jury .based upon the statement of a

party as to his construction of a con- tract, nor prosecution for false swear- ing, if the law in effect at the time re- ; quired the making of the affidavit, be- cause the law of 1899, which required such an affidavit, has since been re- pealed and cannot be used foh any pur- pose in a criminal case; because the } cause of action on the face of the affi-

davit shows to have oceurred more than three years before the returning of the affidavit, Mr. Pierce being, it was agreed, a nonresident of the State. Queene

Trains Moving in Far Northwest. .SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 3.—Traffic conditions in the Northwest are begin- ning .to show some improvement over the demoralized condition caused by the walkout of the switchmen employed on the Northwestern transcontinental lines. Although the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads have not re- scinded the order against. the receipt of freight except subject to delay, they have begun the movement of trains, which is reducing the congestion in the yards. Railroad officials announce their intention of employing men as fast as they apply.

1500 Are Idle in Montana, GREAT FALLS, Mont., Dec. 3.—Fif- teen hundred men are idle here because of the switchmen’s strike. Being unable to get ore from the mines at Butte, the Boston & Montana smelter suspend- ed operations yesterday. The Royal Flouring Mills are without wheat and must lay off 500 mem today. Other in- dustrial plants will be compelled to close unless there is a change for the better in the strike situation on the Great Northern Railroad within a few days. No trains were made up in Great Falls yesterday. Six trains, some of them carrying local freight, pulled out of Missoula this morning.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NE‘ YORK, Dec. 3.—The Equitaple Life .@ urance Society is the property of J. P. Morgan with its $462,000,09 of assets, its 360,000 outstanding policies, representing $1,300,000,000 of insurance. Official announcement was made today that Mr. Morgan had purchased the so- clety’s stock, formerly owned by Thes. F Ryan, now deposited with Morgan J O’Brien and George Westinzhouse, as trustees. This single transaction, although in- volving an enormous amount of capital, is only a part of a great financial com- bination centering around the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Go. Control of the Equitable and Mercantile Trust companies passes along with the pur- chase. the Guaranty Trust Co. was taken ov by a Morgan syndicate. Ihe Natio Bank of Commerce, second largest in the United States, is now joined m the same hands. A money trust of the most gigantic proportions the country has ever krown, is being created with J. P. Morgan at the head. Many Concerns Involved. ' How many insurance companies, trust companies and banks, each with many "} Millions of assets, will be included in the “combination is the subject of un: limited speculation. In addition to the e purchase of a majority of the Equita- ble’s stock, the New York Life Insur- ance Co., a mutual concern, with no ‘}eapital stock, is already in sympathetic alliance with the Morgan house, through Geo. W. Perkins, a partner in the banking firm and the power behind the throne in the insurance company.

The schoolbdys point out 6 North Beaumont street as Chauncey Ives Filley’s mosque, where many slates have been made and broken. Why not name it “Chauncey Ives” or “Filley avenue?” JOSEPH O’HEARNE.

: A Resolution Repudiated. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It should be recorded that trade unionists general- ly do not uphold the resolutions adopted by the Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union last Sunday, wheréin an attack was made upon the charitable organization known as the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Asso- ciation. .The resolution is not a true @xpression, nor does it voice the opinion of a majority of organized workers of St. Louis and vicinity. The subject has been widely disc in labor cir- cles and many have declared such by the Cen- tral Trades indiscreet in the extreme and more harm- ful than beneficial to all affillated therewith. The Hospital Saturday and Sunday Asgociation has been too long in our midst to gainsay its usefulnéss, and the good it has accomplished is attested by the hundreds of improvident persons who have been pa- tients at the various hospitals in our city from time to time. B. F. SWIGERT, Member of Typographical Union No. &. Christian Science Favors Marriage. . To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, With reference to the New York dispatch which 4 peared in your issue of the 2th ult., regarding the domestic difficulties of a well-known artist, and the attributing pf the same to a peculiar perversion of Christian Science as taught by a teacher who has recently been deposed, I am in receipt of the -fol- lowing statement from Mr.’ Alfred Farlow, manager’ of the Christian Science committees on publication: “Whatever may or may not have been taught or practic in this instance, it is important that the public should understand that Christian Science right- ly understood and practiced, could. never breed do- mestic trouble, but must of necessity contribute toward peace, harmony and well-being of any family. ‘In her text book, Mrs. Eddy teaches (page 56) ‘Marriage is the legal and moral provision for gen- eration among human kind.’ Again on page 60 she says, ‘Marriage should improve the human species, becoming a barrier against vice, a protection to wom- an, strength to man, and a center for the affections.’ Mrs. Eddy also advises against legal separation of husband and wife, declaring (page 69), ‘Separation never should take place, and it never would if both husband and wife were genuine Christian Scilen- tists.’ ’’ JOHN ASHCROFT, — — — Contract vs. Duty. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. 7 On. yesterday, Curtis Gentry, a Wabash section hand, lost his life performing a service which is be- Heved to have saved the lives of many others, by preventing a train wreck. The passengers, had they seen the approaching dan- ger to their train and had time to contract with the hero or any other persoh, to prevent a wreck such as seemed about to happen, involving them, would have gladly contracted and agreed to pay almost any portion of their worldly — to such other person. Will the persons who were coal from being in a wreck, now voluntarily pay to the family of the man who saved them one-third of such sum as they would gladly have contracted in advance to pay? I do not know the deceased hero or his family, but hope each and every one of the saved passengers will see that his family, if any, suffers no want for the necessities of life. Supply them with all that such a husbend and father tried to furnish and let them not be obliged to live on “hero medals.” WILLIAM WEHRENBRECHT. . Oversealous Belles.

“GASSING” FLOUR MILLS. Agricultural Department Report. Millers, Hke people in other occupa- tions, have their troubles, and insett troubles are not the least of these. Formerly they had to contend with grain weevils and flour beetles, which they ‘thought very troublesome, but in recent years these pests haye sunk into insignificance compared with the Medit- erranean flour moth. It is now less than twenty years since this insect first invaded the United States, but now it has spread until it infests mills in near- ly all parts of the country, and is the main source of complaint from the mill- ers. When a mill becomes badly in- fumigate at longer or shorter inter- vals. These operations are in them- selves expensive, and the loss is great- ly augmented by necessary stoppage of the mill. Among the insecticides employed against this pest sulphur and bisulphid of carbon,have been most prominent, but danger of fire is an objectionable feature with both. Besides, fumigation with these has never been wholly ef- fective. Hydrocyanic acid gas was pro- posed 10 years ago, and some tests were made, which did not prove entirely satis- ly gas has been more fully and care- fully tested with most promising suc- cess. The chief danger of using this gas is its deadly character, and it must therefore be used with the greatest caution. But, on account of its com-? parative cheapness and effectiveness, “gassing’’ will probably take the place of other methods in dealing with the Mediterranean flour moth.

If what was seen on the streets Saturday was char- ity, then, for humanity's sake, let’s cut it short. When the young society belles run up and down the streets selling newspapers to the public, thereby de- priving the little newsboys from earning their much- needed pennies, on which, perhaps, depends some invalid mother or smaller sisters or brothers, I do not think it is dope for charity, but for notoriety. As a laborer I want to say it is not charity, but op- portunity that the laboring class is looking for; give them which is justly due them, and you can dispense with such charity. - J. B.

Some of the best bowling ef the sea- son may be expected every Saturday and Sunday from now on which eight } of the strongest tenpin bowlers in St. Louls meet in match games. Gus Schmitt is about ,the only real top notcher who is not\in the tournament and Schmitt plans to go to 'Frisco in the near future. — —

J., of Mrs. Ocey Snead, lately of Nashville, Tenn., is unraveled. Her aunt, Miss Virginia Wardlaw, remains -@ prisoner charged with the murder. .

She is the grar.dmother of the - dead woman. _ Gcvld another death have been in the " planning? _ But the actual murder fs equaled in @stounding features by several discov- -@ries today. One was that Miss Eliza Efioch, sister of R. W.-Enoch, a wealthy : _Tumber mercha-t of Mississippi, was ‘eajoled into coming to New York re- cently by Mrs. C:~oline B, Mar- tin, mother of the dead girl, a sis- ter of the prisoner, ‘was “euchred’’ out of $600, kept a prisoner and released only when her brother hurried here to . her rescue. ; "Mrs. Martin has disappeared, although ' @Phe is said to have been with her daugh- ‘ter on Sunday night. The murdered - Body was found on Monday night by - policem¢h summoned by Miss Wardlaw, - ‘who exhibited a note purporting to be _ from Mrs. Snead, saying she intended to - commit suicide. : Use of Hypnotism Asaserted, It is asserted by the police that the - ‘Wardlaw sisters were hypnotists and had their neice, Mrs. Snead, under their _ ©ontro] at all times. They practised _ their alleged art on her in the presence - of a reputable lawyer, who says he was _ Offered $7000 to change the dead wom- an’s will. The chief change was to ‘make Miss Wardlaw the executrix in- ‘ptead of the aged grandmother. _ An autopsy showed that Mrs. Snead @ied of starvation and drowning. She _ ‘W&@as so emaciated that she only whighed _ 88 pounds. . Summarizing his theories as to how Mrs. Snead me* desth, Chief Bell said _ “At first I really believed Mrs. Snead attempted to take a bath, was discov- ered in the tu. by the murderer and - Was held under the-water until she Was’ _ @rowned. I am now satisfied after care- fully examining the house that there ‘Was no fire in the stove the night the young woman died. Consequently there Could have beef nu hot water, and.a _ ‘woman in Mrs. Snead’s condition would _ mot have bathed in cold water. There- fore, there seeris no doubt that Mrs. _ Snead was carried to the tub, thrown |) nto the water and drowned. — “Despite the statements of the family that he disappeared last spring, I have ' @very reason to believe that the dead ‘Wwoman’s husband, Fletcher W. Snead, is alive. I have learned positively that F her W.

by. his partner, Charles Schwartman: “On Sept. 9 an aged woman, heavily veiled, called at- my office. . After. som” inquiries she said she wanted a will al- tered, the will of a dying woman, and that it must be done quickly. When, I asked for the address she refused to give it, saving she would call again. “Next day she called. up on the tele- phone and wanted Mr. Schwartzman 7 . * i yourself the executor—do anything you like, but for God's Sake take care of my “T opened the will and scratched in a few words to conform with her instruc- tions. I had barely finished.and pushed the will into my-packet when the two Mold women came back into the room. “J wrote out a check for $ and -Mrs. Snead indorsed it. As this was being done I caught sight of two new $20 bills in a bag held by one of the 914 women. “‘Why,’ said I, ‘I thought you had no money.’ “Miss Wardlaw shook her head and said, ‘That is pension money and doesn’t belong to us.’ "Then we got down to what the old women really wanted of me. It seemed they wished to offer me two life tmsur- ance policies, one for $2000 ard the other . Fy hae at would arrange ‘a Will ‘Mrs. Snead that woul@ make them’ her ‘beneficiaries instead of her grandmother, Martha Eliza Wardlaw, who was named in the will I held in my pocket. “Mrs. Wardlaw, they said, was en- tirely too old to be an executrix, and they gave me a lot of instructions how they wanted the will redrawn. They recited property in Georgia, Ohio and Tennessee, belonging to Mrs, . Snead, Which, they said, was worth fully $100,- 00, and insurance policies for over $24,- 000. . “All this they wanted put in the name of Miss Virginia Wardlaw, the aunt, and the other woman, whose name 1 can’t remember. After listening a while I said I was going to bring a doctor to see Mrs. Snead, and it was only after a the next day. .“] prought Dr. J.

Admitted Secretly to House. “Don’t ring the bell,’ she said over the phone. ‘I will be watching from the window, and don’t make any noijse, 4s the people ager here are very in- quisitive.’ e still would not give me the name of my prospective client. “Schwartzman and I went and at the window was a woman in black. Miss Wardlaw opened the door quickly and si- lently ushered us upstairs. Everything in the house was bare, not even a chair being offered us to sit on. “We were taken to a rear room up- stairs, where I saw on a cot a young woman, who seemed to have been beau- tiful, with a magnificent head of auburn hair, but whose sallow complexion and emaciated condition gave her the. ap- pearance of a corpse. “There was another old woman pres- ent and she and Miss Wardlaw sat down on thé edge of the cot. We stood up. The two aged women had their hats on and were heavily veiled. Arnoun,i their necks were strung beads and _ in their hands were. Bibies,. from, which. they chanted at times while they made strange passes and motions towards the sick woman, Mrs. Snead, as I afterward learned. Woman Seemed to Be in « Coma. - “Mrs. Snead lay there on the cot, watching the two women and seemingly unable to move or say a word. 1 thought she was in a coma, until suddently Miss Wardlaw, in a weird voice, asked her if she did not want to make a new will. The passes were going on all this time and at the question Mrs. Snead answered in a clear voice, as though impelled by some power she could not resist, or so it seemed to me, ‘Yes, I do.’ “*My God, woman,’ I exclaimed, ‘this woman is dying. She needs a doctor and nourishment and care. I'll get a doctor.’ “The minute I mentioned the word doctor the two old women seemed to get scared and exclaimed that they didn’t want one, that the woman on the cot was going to die anyway and that they couldn’t afford a physician. “T asked for food for the woman. They said they had none and couldn’t buy any. So I brought out my check book and pretended I had no pen. The worh- en went downstairs for the pen. “The minute the door closed behind them a remarkable changé camé over the woman on the cot. She mustered up a great effort and turned toward me. As I drew closer to her she whispered: “I’m dying, I'm dying. I see a Mason pin on you and I believe I can trust you. Oh, for God’s, sake, please don’t leave me.’ “She reached\.under the pillow and dragged out a paper. “Here, here,’ she muttered feverishly. ‘This is my will.
