The date on which this was written was June 29 this year. Here it is: Calls on Miss Asquith. “Last Friday week I happened to meet Mrs. Asquith and her stepdaugh- ter, Miss Violet Asquith, at Stafford House: Miss Asquith asked me to come to ‘tea at 10 Downing street on the foliowing Tuesday. I came. She is, as all her friends knew an extremely clever girl, remarkaniy well educated and brilliant, and her talk was very interesting—rather surprising in some respects. When I arrived at the house Mrs. Asquith was apparently not there. Miss Violet Asquith took me downstairs to a sort of little library of her own looking on the garden, where I had tea, and I suppose we talked for more than an hour—anyhow, quite an hour— on a variety of subjects. “While I was there a man crossed the garden. I said, ‘Is that one of the secretaries? Miss Violet Asquith said, ‘Yes, that is Nash; that is the man who used to write C. B.’s speeches for him.’ (‘C. B.’ was the late Sir Harry Campbell - Bannerman, Mr. Asquith’s predecessor as Prime Minister.) Nash Proffers Speech. “I would like to tell you this: Short- ly after my father became Prime Min- ister he was going down. to Scotland’ (I forget whether tt was she or her mother, or both, whe was with him) ‘and Nash was seeing him off at the station, and just as the train was about to leave the platform Mr. Nash bowed in a very respectful manner and handed over to my father a little scroll of paper neatly tied up, and said in rather a subdued manner, “Perhaps this will be of some use to you.“ My father put it aside at the time, and forgot it, and then, sometime after he said: ‘‘Per- haps I had better look at this and see what it is,” so he opened it anu found that it was a speech prepared for him by Mr. Nash.’ “I said: ‘Your father must have been frightfully annoyed, surely?’ “She said: ‘Well, what troubled him most about it was this, that he wanted to make it quite clear to Nash that this sort of thing was no longer necessary, but he felt it would; be difficult to say it in a way that would not hurt his “So far for Miss Asquith. I do not remember the exact links between that part of the conversation and what I am about to record, but presently she said: "Do you know I have often won- dered whether some of these phrases of “C.

CHERRY, -Hl., Dec. 4.—Testimony was introduced at the Coroner’s inquest on the Cherry mine horror this morn- ing tending to show that the fire was started by Mat Francisco, an inexperi- ericed boy of 15, who was working in the, mine in alleged violation of the child labor law. Francisco worked under Rosenjack, the cager, who disappeared the day fol- lewing the accident, his work being .to push the empty cars from the main shaft in the second vein over to the cage, running to the third vein. The Francisco boy himself testified that he had pushed ‘the loaded car of bay that caught fire over to the elevator Shaft leading to the third vein and left it standing close up to the blazing terch which ignited it. The lad said this was the first bale of hay he had ever been required to handle and that Lis superiors in the mine gave him no instructions as to what he should dc with it. Coroner Malm stated he considered this testimony of the greatest im- portance and representatives of State Factory Inspector Davies’ office de- clared that it justified the expressed opinion that the child labor law was freely violated in the Cherry mine to the great danger of the 500 miners em- ployed there. Mine Inspector Thomas Hudson testi- fied that he had not inspected the mine Since July, and id not know they were using open torches instead of electric light, with which he knew the mine to be equipped.

PITTSBURG, Kan., Dee. 4.—Miss Go'die Ingeberg was murdered and robbed at her home here early today. Her assailant forced carbolic. acid down her throat, robbed her of her diamond earrings and then dragged her out on the fiont porch, where she was found later by her mother, who was awakened by her daughter’s moaning and calling. Miss Ingeberg’s earrings had been torn trom her ears. She lived but a short time after being found. There is no clew to the identity of the murderer. Today's murder, following closely upon the killing of William Bork, his young wife and child a week age has renewed excitement in this vicinity. Heard Girl Call for Help. The Ingeberg home is located in North Smelter avenue, five blocks from the business section. Miss Ingeberg oc- cupled. a front bedtoom somewhat isolated from the other portion of the house. Mrs. Ingeberg was awakened by her daughter calling ‘‘Mother, Mother!’’ She hurried to the daughter’s bedroom, but found the door from that. room leading On to the porch open.

At the request of his brother, William Costello, 4056 Page boulevard, he was committed Saturday to the observation ward of tno City Hospital. On Nov. 6 his wife, Mrs. Nonie Costello, drowned herself and her nine- months-old daughter, Dolores, in the north pool at Reservoir Park.

Mrs. Doxey to St. Louis, her attorney, Judge I. J. Albert, otitlined the begin- ning of Mrs. Doxey’s defense. “Mrs. Doxey,’ he said, ‘‘denies the marriage to Erder. She denies that she fever received one cent of Erder’s life insurance. I don’t know whether he had any insurance or not. Mrs. Doxey doesn’t know anything about insurance policies in. connection with this case “Miss Kate Erder and her mother have a mania for avenging the death of Erder. This sort of mania often leads to twisting facts for the accomplishment of an end. *T cannot discuss the statements that Dr. Doxey was in St. Louis shortly af- ter Erder’s death. I have asked him about that and he has told me he will talk later. Heard of Another Wife. "I am informed that Erder had an- other wife from whom he was separat- ed. This may be a case of mistaken identity. “Doctors tell me that every person who dies after having suffered great pain shows post-mortem indications of poisoning, especially where there has been. medical treatment.. I am told that certain combinations of medicine de- velop poison. I have also read that French scientists say that every body contains arsenic.” These statements were mate: as the train was nearing St. Louis. They were in reply to requests made by a Post-Dispatch reporter, who boarded the train at Moberly, Mo., and who was not permitted to talk to Mrs. Doxey directly. Dr. Doxey, who also refused to talk, told the eorrespondent that anything said by Attorney Albert would take the place of a forma! inter- view with Mrs. Doxey. Rallied After Train Started. The Doxey party lett Columbus, Neb., on a Union Pacific train at 2.15 p. m. Friday in a driving snowstorm. Mrs. Doxey was carried to the train by Sergt.

At Omaha Mrs. Doxey, sitting in an invalid chair, ate a hearty meal of soft- boiled eggs, toast, tea and oranges.

The Circuit Attorney’s office takes the etand that the warrant for Mrs. Doxey does not cite anything containing the elements of second degree murder. Even if a motion for her release should be made, it is believed that the arguments could be delayed or drawn out until the grand jury returns a first degree mur- der indictment, which will effectually check all further efforts to obtain bond. “There has been no formal applica- tion for bond,” said Attorney Albert, when he left the Four Courts. ‘I shall engage local counsel here, and until that is done I cannot say what further legal steps will be taken in my client’s behalf.’ After vainly seeking admission to the jail, Dr, Doxey and Miss Sparhawk, they were going to dine together at the Jefferson Hotel. Lived in St. Lewis in 1907. It was learned Saturday by Post-Dis- patch reporters that in June and July, 1907, Mrs. Doxey lived, under the name of Mrs. Dodge, at the home of Mrs. M. 8. Cole, first at 3524 Lawton avenue and later at 3520 Washington. avenue. When she went to live with Mrs. Cole, at the Lawton avenue address, she gave her name as Dora B. Dodge and said she was a widow. Her husband, she said, had died two years before. Since that she had taken a course in nursing at Des Moines, Io., and had broken down from overwork and was taking a rest. Two weeks later Mrs. Cole moved to Washington avenue and Mrs. Dodge went along. She said her maiden name had been Doxey and that mail might come to her, so addressed. The last week she was at the home of Mrs. Cole she was sick and a rather stout brunette, about 27 years old, stayed with her and took care of her.. Mrs. Cole does not remember the name of this woman. While she was thete a man called on her several] times. Mrs, Cole cannot recall] his name. She remembers that on July 3 the man took her automobile riding. The woman said he was an old sweetheart. She left about the middle of July; saying she was going back to Des Moines to settle up an estate. She was mild mannered and well behaved but very nervous. After she had gone Mrs. Abbie Ma- rion, Mrs. Cole’s servant, told her that Mrs. Dodge was a morphine user. Mrs. Marion had seen hef take the drug and had seen her arms, which bore the marks of hypodermic needles. Mrs. F. F. Brimmer, who resides up- stairs Over the apartment to which Wil- liam J. Erder took his bride, at 3017 Wyoming street, received a letter, dated Aug. 4, from Mrs. Doxey, in which she reiterated a request to her neighbor to conceal her whereabouts.

lace . Pyeatt, 3003 N orth F. ao, * * Kiuge, Collinsville, m. Here is a story of real life. It hap- pened at Christmas time last year. The reason for telling it now is that you are able to prevent the same story being repeated this Christmas. The story is about a young man and his wife and their little daughter. They lived in one room in a crowded tene- ment in that section of the city where Kerry Patch runs into the Ghetto and other foreign quarters, where poverty is taken as a matter of course. This little family was very poor—the man worked as a laborer and sometimes was out of work for several days. But he was proud, and he managed some- how always to provide for nis wife and child. And because he was proud, he would accept no help, not even from néighbors when his funds were low and because he was young and an American, he bélieved that some day he would make a.great deal of money. Dreams of Time to Be. When this man dreamed of the days when he would be well off, his thoughts always went to his daughter—he dreamed of the fine things he would buy her—of fine clothes and presents. But all he had been able to give her since her birth had been simple little presents at Christmas time, But though the presents were simple Land inexpensive ones they filled the heart of the child with great joy be- cause they came from that wonderful person—Santa Claus. It should not be difficult for you ‘to imagine how much it meant to this young father to have ris little daughter on Christmas morn- ing run to him with the presents from her stocking in her hands and tell him how good Santa had been: But last year,.a period of idleness came just beforé Christmas. His mon- ey gave out and on Christmas eve the father was penniless. He tramped the streets that day searching vainly for work. That night when he returned home he found |té3 daughter hanging up her stucking. The man didn’t have the ercurage to tell the child that he was afraid that Santa would not come that night. Instead he went out again, sceking an odd job to earn enough to way a few presents. It was near midnight when he re- turned. His wife, exhausted because of her efforts to find work, was asleep, with her daughter beside her, and the man, exhausted and disheartened, sat down in a chair to think out some plan. Then he went to sleep. He was awakened the next morning by his little daughter tugging at his sleeve. Her little lips were trembling and she was pointing to the empty stocking: “Papa,” she said, has not come.’’ * The man gathered his child in his arms and tried to comfort her. Then he lost control of himself. He put the child down and, going to his bed, threw himself upon it. and sobbed like a child. Little tragedies like this happen every Christmas. It is to prevent such that the Post-Dispatch Christmas Fes- tival Association asks your aid. Do you know that there are a great many fathers among the poor who are too proud to ask for or to receive charity? But the Christmas Festival is not a charity—it is an act of hospitality on the part of those who are able to act as hosts fo those who are in just such circumstances as this father. “was I bad?

DEAF MUTEW COURT FOR LOUD NOISE IMITATION Hour and Half of Unusual Si- lence While Disturbance Charge Is Heard. There was a great deal of silence in the Wyoming Street Police Court Sat- urday when Roy Fitzmaurice. deaf mite of 4127 Prairie aves«e, was tried on the charge of violating Section 1537 of the City Ordinances, which defines, among other things, a disturbance of the peace as the use of .violent and offensive lan- guage and the making of loud and un- usual noises. There was no evidence that Fitzmaur- ice. had made any loud and unusual! noises, but it was shown that he had used offensive language, on his fingers, te Mrs. Ross T. Sutton of 2643 LaSalle street. John G. Oberbeck, 204 Adelaide ave- nue; Nicholas Kieran, 2715 Rutger street, and Mr. Sutton, all déaf mutes, were the witnesses against Fitzmaurice. The com- plaining witnesses anc Fitzmaurice all

gave their testimony in writing and the trial occupied an hour and a half. The only one who did any talking was Clerk Charles Courtney. He did not know how to swear the. witnesses on his fingers and had doubts whether an oath administered in writing would be any account, so he held up his hand an motioned to, the witnesses to do like-| wise and intoned the usual “Youdosol-| emnlyswearthatinthecasenow on trial you willtellthetruththewholetruthand nothing butthetruths’ elpyouGod.”’ They grasped the import of the chant and nodded their heads, and the case went on. All the mutes were at the Bohemian Social Club Hall, 4618 Minnesota avenue, Nov. 21, when the trouble broke out. Fitzmaurice gave a mute imitation of loud and unusual noises, and an attempt was made to put him out. He cut Sut- ton on the hand. Fitzmaurice admitted that he had plied about with his knife, but did not know that he had cut any- body. Judge Kleiber fined him $10, but he did not think the city should be put to the expense of hiring an interpreter to tell him what to do at the Wohrkhouse and the fine was stayéd on good be- havior.

Pressed from the outside to buy land and build railread approaches for the free bridge, and worried by lack of mon- ey with which to meet extraordinary ohligations already incurred, the city ad- ministration, through its champions in the Council, is attempting to prevent any legislation that will further increase expenditures. In pursuit of this policy, the Council has killed a bill and filed a resolution introduced by Councilman Drew for the nited (Free Bridge Committee, and then charged him with an attempt to embar- rass the administration by protesting against its summary method of treating the question. At Friday’s meeting of the Council, Mr. Drew presented a remonstrance which Councilman Schneiderhahn made the subject of a philippic against the United ‘Free Bridge Committee and Frank H. Gerhart. No Money for Right-of-Way. In his remonstrance Mr. Drew said that the bill was presented by him at the request of the United Free Bridge Committee, and that ‘‘to kill it without referring it to the proper committee was an unprecedented proceeding and an in- justice to the 52 organizations that con- stitute the United Free Bridge Com- mittee.’’ Mr. Schneiderhahn declared that there is no money with which to buy a right of way for the railroad approaches and that to consider the measure under such circumstances wauid be a waste of time. “I am sorry that I have to take the floor so often to answer a gentleman whose typewriter works overtime in charging the Mayor, Assembly and law department with remissness,’’ said Mr. Schneiderhahn. “But when this Dill, having a title of 94 lines, and asking the Assembly to do a ridiculous thing, and the law department an illegal thing, is offered, I call it an asinine pro- ceeding. Mr. Drew's Disadvantige. “Moreover, the bill asks the adminis- tration to reconsider its policy in refer- ence to the bridge, and contemplates that which the city doesn’t want to do and has no right to do. I think the bill was put before the Council for purposes of publicity.” “I know I labor under the disadvan- tage of not having Mr. Schneiderhahn’s forensic ability,’’ said Mr. Drew, “but I still think that the Council’s action in killid¥g the Bridge Committee’s bil was a reflection on that organization. Others think the same, and one very important official, whose name I shall not mention, shares my views. “The typewriter which wrote the res- olution accompanying the cémmittee’s bill was the Council’s typewriter and the words were mine. As a former merchant, I want the bridge to land where coal roads may connect with it and where it will be unhampered.

It ran thus: “This was an honest man, who spoke the truth. The hated truth, no. He stood for Honor, Justice, Courage, Truth; He is gone—and they, too, go.” Bout With Le Galliene Off. Mr. Watson, who has neither dreamy eyes, nor long hair, yet is ranked as an English poet, this morning declared off the international bout for the heavy- weight poetic championship belt. He said: | “What! Will I encounter with Le Gal- liene? Certaihly. not. Why should I fight him? Too absurd, too absurd, you know! I will not even see him.

She was Miss Maureen Pring of Dub- lin—as Irish as her first name and proud of it. Mrs. Watson said her hus- band should have nothing to do with that horrid man, and the poet, looking like a well-fed English squire, acknowl- edged he would do just ds Mrs. Watson told him. “But how about that mortal insult?

MEMORY FAILED HIM — — Prisoners Ran After Taking Dummy Package, but Were Caught. Chief of Police Blake of Collinsville came near failing in one of the most im-. portant arrests in his career because he couldn’t remember three short words —‘‘alza le mani,” the Italian for “throw up your hands.”’ When he set to work on the Black Hand conspiracy case at Collinsville which resulted Friday in the arrest of five men, Chief Blake asked an Italian detective, who was assisting »him, for the words in Italian so that when the time came to make the arrests he could command the intended prisoners in their own tongue. For six weeks he repeated, “‘Alza le mani’ over to himself on all occasions, and had it fluently until, on Clay street, Collinsville, Joseph ‘ Pallazzio of 1016 North Seventh street, St. Louis, and Frank Sicola of 1190 North Eighth street took in their hands a decoy package that the detective handed them. Caught Men After Chase. Then Blake and his assistants, who were in hiding, rushed forward. In that | instant he forgot, the Italian words, and had to \substituté the plain American expression. The men did not throw up their hands, but started to run. They were chased, knocked down and made prisoners, and were escorted to the County Jail at Ed- wardsville,.after Judge Adam Schroep- pe! had held them for the grand jury, fixing the bail of each at $5000. The night before, Louis Biondi, Joseph Lurussa and Louis Romera, three Col- linsville residents; had been arrested for alleged complicity in the same plot, which was to extort $6000 by threats from Louis F. Lumaghi, former mayor of Collinsville, and a very wealthy coal mine operator. Mr. Lumaghi received a letter Oct. 15 ordering him to put $6000 in a bottle un- der the big oak tree north of his resi- dence. If he did not, the letter, which was postmarked St. Louis, stated that it would be “‘the worser” for his three children, Louis F., aged 7, Mary Eliza- beth, 5, and Charles, 3. Detective Get the Package. Finding that a bottle had appeared un- der the tree where there was only lawn before, M. Lumaghi established an armed guard about his home, which has been maintained ever since. Last Satur- day a second letter came threatening that Mr. Lumaghi would be killed, and his house burned if the money were not placed under a post on the seuth side of the house. Chief Biake, in whose hands the mat- ter had been placed, had had an Ital- fan detective on the case for six weeks and he had gotten into the confidence of the conspirators. Mr. Lumaghi prepared a dummy pack- age of stage money with four good oné- doliar bills on each side as wrappers and “planted” it as directed. Chance directed that the lot fell upon the de- tective when it came to determining who was to get the money\ He did so Thursday night and took it to Louis Biondi’s room to divide it. Just after Biondi and Lurussa had accepted their shares officers broke in and arrested them. Sicola and Pallagsio, who were in St. Louis, were told by telephone to be in Collinsville the next morning. They were met on the street and Sicola had just taken the package of money when he and his associate were arrested. te — — — — — — = he tl Ll — — FATHER 80-MOTHER 76 The aged father and —— of a prominent Boston la safely carried through the ast two winters by 0 The son says: “My father and mother owe their present stren Vinol. and good health to During the last two trying winters neither of them had a cold, and were able to walk farther and I think Vinol is —* test blood-makin e I ever heard of.” perfectly wonderful. » strengthening tonic for old every feeble old person in this town to try do more than for years, It certainly is Vinol.

Judge Kinsey Admits Files in Evidence in Injunction Suit Against Company. ASSERTS BAD FAITH Counsel for Defense Deplores Circuit Attorney’s Quo Warranto Proceedings. — — —— The West End Light, Heat and Power Co., whose franchise Circuit Attorney Jones is trying to revoke in quo war- ranto proceedings, gained a point at the trial of the case in the Circuit Court, Saturday, when Judge Kinsey admitted in evidence, over the objec- on of Attorney Lon Hocker, repre- senting Jones, the files in an injunction suit brought by W. Hall Trigg against the West End company and the Board of Public Improvements. Tyson 8. Dines of counsel for the West End company said that the pur- pose in offering the files was to show bad faith on the part of the Circuit Attorney in bringing the quo warranto suit. Defines “Bad Faith.” “What do you mean by bad faith?” Judge Kinsey asked. Attorney Dines answered that in a proceeding of this kind the State re- quires that its officials must not act to subserve or promote private inter- ests but for the benefit of the public. **‘We have the right,’’ Mr. Dines assert- ed, “‘to inquire as to whether this suit was brought for the purpose of accom- plishing a private end. On that issue wé want to show that the same private interests in the Trigg case are also in this case.” Attorney Hooker said there was noth- ing in the Trigg files to show what Mr. Wines asserted. The latter replied that the connection would be shown by evi- dence obtained from depositions taken in the Trigg suit. Judge Dislites Term. In admitting the Trigg” files, and also Judge Grimm’s opinion in that case, Judge Kinsey said the term “bad faith” was not a happy expression. He 1e served the right to change his ruling later. The trial of the quo warranto suit vegan Friday afternoon and it is ex- pected that the evidence will be conciu:-l- ej late Saturday. Most of the evulence is documentary. The Court put the burden of proof on the West End com- poary to show that it has a right to keep its charter. The franchise was granted by ordin- ance to Browning, King & Co. 22 years ago. The West End Co. bought thé rights under the franchise from Brown- ing, King & Co. with the intention of becoming a competitor of the Union Electric Light and Power Co., but has been the defendant in suits ever since.

Cina RANDOLPH CHESTER’S mind must have been under the influence of the platform mak- ers for the party out of power when he conceived “The Cash Intrigue/’’ But, aside from the fact that it portrays a situation which every true American will unhesitatingly declare to be impossible of realization in our national life, it is a story worth reading. The theme is the overthrow of the American republic through a greedy money king who corners the country’s supply of available cash, and an un- scrupulous and ambitious politician who has brains enough to use his co-con- spirator as a tool. The politician lets the old moneyed egotist believe that he is to be the first emperor of America. The old fool—who, in his combination into the vaults under his — at Forest Lakes—how this recalls Forest Hill, where the certain rich man, of whom the character reminds us, lives—the poli- ticlan, who happens to have the ad- vantage in being President of the United States, shocks the doddering old idiot by himself assuming the ermine. Previ- ously, the withdrawal of cash had stopped the shuttles and silenced the looms of the land. Town and country- side were desolate and the starving men flocked to the army, enlistment in which meant bread, at least. This was why the wheels of industry had ceased to whirr—so that there would be plenty of soldiers for the coup d'etat, But Phillip Kelvin had not reckoned on be- ing overwhelmed by revolution—and a woman. The woman was the daughter of Henry Breed, the money king. She loved Kelvin, who cast her off after he had made himself emperor. She turned revolutionist and, like Joan of Are, led the army of the people to the secret golden storehouse in her father’s home. Kelvin and his soldiers were there to defend the hoarded wealth. The woman scorned took her revenge by killing him with a knife. . The action of the book is swift and the love motive is uniquely treated. (Fobbsmerril)). A Vignettes,” by Mary W. Arma. These sketches of the town and countryside life of Italy have the rare quality. of atmosphere. The reader sees before him the panorama that the writer portrays. They are oot exhaustive and elaborate, but record simply and attrac- tively scenes and experiences that made a vivid impression — the author. (Kennerley). A lems that beset young housekeep- ers, written in 1892 for the Post- Dispatch by Mre. H. D. Pittman, has grown into a pretentious novel, which Mrs, Pittman’s publisher has just issued under the title “Go Forth and Find.’’ The articles in the Post-Dispatch aroused a widespread interest and brought many letters from readers of the paper. One of these was from a young girl, as follows: My Dear Young Housekeeper—I am going to be married soon to the nicest young man in the world, but he has a very small salary. I am afraid he has not over $100 a month. Of course we can board somewhere, but I would be so proud if we could have our own little home. Can't you tell me how? DOROTHY. Selecting this letter from her corre- spondence, Mrs. Pittman has written a real love story, full of youth and love and life and a new world, with Dorothy and the Nicest Man as the cen- tral figures: and embodying all the sa- lient facts and information contained in the “Young Housekeeper’ artioles on “The Cost of Living’ and “The Ex- pediency of Marriage.”’ “Go Forth and Find” is a St. Louis story.

St. Louis is one of the scenes of this story. (MoBride.) Novels Made Out of Piays. “NOVELIZED” play worth read- A ing is so rare that one should mark with a white stone the day of its encountering. Such a signaliza- tion of good luck is undeniably due in the case of “Mary Jane’s Pa,’’ made into a book by Norman Way from the mod- est little drama by Bdith Ellis. All the vitality of “Mary Jane’s Pa" comes, of course, from the title-role figure, the delightful Hiram Perkins, country editor and job printer, obsessed by the “wander-lust,"’ whe abandoned wife, children and home at the call of the farthermost world and went adrift for years, happily returning to the home- haven at last. St. Louis playgoers saw Henry BD. Dixey in this part at the Century not long ago, to their great en- tertainment, and the softening of their hearts in mingled pity and mirth, so truly was the quaint character presented to their understanding. Mr. Way seems to have caught the very essence of this stage story and of ite vitalising hero, also to have pos- sessed the gifts necessary to thetr en- a bound volume, and the result is a joy to the readers of his book.

hastened to completion and put to work.. The commission got results. " The Post-Dispatch vigorously supported the rec- ommendation of Gov. Hadley that a commission to regulate public utilities, with power to act, be created in this State. The divided Legislature refused to pass the commission bill. Although not in favor of a multiplication of commissions, the Post-Dispatch realized that a state commis- sion, having authority to fix prices and regulate the service of public utility corporations through- out the State, could assure swifter reforms ang better protection for the people than the Cooper act, which enables local legislatures. to regulate the corparations. The Cooper act has been in ef- jfect nearly three years. But St. Louis has not yet reaped any benefit from it. It took dbout twoy ) br Cans ’ a commission under that act.

To the Maitor of -Dimpatcn. the As everyone knows, the frauds which have exist- ed for 15 years, by which the Sugar Trust has profit- ed to the extent of millions af dollars, could not have been perpetrated without the knowledge of the highest officials in the trust. Why, then, are these officials not brought imto court and interrogated on oath?

To Help the Cherry Mine Orphans. To the Exiftor of the Post-Dixpateh. I read in the Post-Dispatch that someone sus- gested that every child in Bt, Louis would be glad to give a penny to the poor mine orphans of Cherry. I think so, toa, and some would give more if they knew bow to go about it. Would it not be a good idea to place a little box in each school, and the principal could make ft known in each room that such a bom was there, and that each pupil that could and would want to donate could put a penny or more in the box to help the poor mine orphans who lost their fathers in such a horrible way. It would surely bring a nice Httle sum and would bring @ new garment to each of the orphans for Christmas. ONE WHO sSYMPATHIZES. High Theater Prices. To the Hditor of the Post-Dispatch.

Mastery of Diction Is Essential to an Artist.

Written for the Post-Dispatch By MADAME BLANCHE MARCHESI, The Most Famous MERICAN singers seldom pay sufficient attention to dic- tion. The manner of speak- ing on the singing tone, which is the diction of sing- ing, makes or mars the ar- value of a voice. Bad pronuncia- is an artistic evil the magnitude of which very few young singers realize. \Many people are entirely insensible to : value of words even in speaking. . ood pronunciation is to them a matter @f no importance. Consequently when _ they begin to sing they think they ‘can pronounce in the most slipshod manner por so long as they are producing | -gort of a*tone. Of course, when it comes to singing, this careless man- wer of pronouncing is tremendously ex- oy a@ggerated and the effect on the audi- ence can ‘be imagined. ‘ We all know what it is not to be | @ble to understand what the artist is ginging about, yet to sing correctly one ’ ghust be able to produce tone on any @ombination of vowels and consonants ‘which go to make up words. And this in the high register, as well as in the ‘low. While ah and eh are the sounds ‘teacher should not fail to exercise the “ -yoice as well on all the vowel sounds used in the language. ‘It is impossible for any artist to make me 8 deep impression upon his or her audi- ence without a commanding mastery of ~ All modern composers are rabid on the The artist who pro- moment, whether he or she possesses a God-given. voice or merely one of av- erage beauty. '.. Perfect singing is based on perfect dic- tion, Without clean, clear-cut pronun- Cation there can be no clear, pure tone of Vocal Teachers. Without a foundation of good diction it is impossible for the singer to ¢x- press any finer emotions of his art or to ‘bring in any of the delicate lights and shades and the fine artistry which make him a master of song. The young singer especially should work always with the thought of per- fect diction, rather than with a desire to obtain a large and powerful voice. Many of our greatest singers have voices of moderate power only, but their perfect command of diction enables carrying power and to make the audi- ence understand so perfectly the senti- ment which they are vocalizing that it not only makes up for lack of natural powers, but it outshines the voice of mere power and less art. I am sorry to say that this perfection of diction seems to have been attained in a far greater measure by the artists of the older school than by the younger generations of today. In studying a song or an operatic role the words must not only be learned by ever language one may be singing, but when they are sung on the tone they should not be distorted to accommodate one’s self to the difficulty of the tone production. The word must never be placed, free of the throat and resound- ing in the head and nasal cavities, it is as easy to pronounce correctly as incor- rectly and in almost all cases, perfect diction is the test of voice production. Perfection of style in writing consists of saying the right thing in the right way and at the right time. Style in singing consists in emitting the musical phrase and its accompanying words, with technical accuracy and with perfect power to convey the desired ment] im- pression. Unless the singer’s diction is perfect, no impression whatever is con- veyed except that of confused sound.

Those I used were 18 inches long, one quarter of an inch thick, of clear twisted candy colored a bright red and costing 20 cents a pound.

Joe Gans Picks Johnson to Win in 25 Rounds

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion, who came to New York this week to witness the signing of articles for the Jeffries-Johnson fight, believes that Johnson will be an easy win- ner. “Jeffries was a world beater in his prime,” said Gans, “but like myself, he can never come back. Johnson is the cleverest big man in the world. He is more scientific than Jim Corbett and is a harder hitter. He, will tire Jeffries out and will be the winner in less than 2% rounds.”’

Jim !3 signed up for a “homeward: tour.” He starts from New York, and plays city after city, winding up in Los Angeles on Jan. 15. From that time on he will train. That leaves him a little over four and a half solid months. No one will have any complaint to make about his efforts, for Jeff means business. He’ll take no chance. He’ll shirk no work, however hard it may be. And he always was a slasher at train- ing. Even now he works for a couple of hours a day, which accounts for the almost incredible improvement in = his condition.
