since the date of its organization, 15 years ago, shows that its gross earnings exceeded $12,000,000 and the amount ap- plicable to dividends was $812,000. ‘Not including the income from invest- ments, the corporation as a matter of fact earned only $08,000, although its aggregate @ividends for ten years amounted to over $800,000. Its total net earnings, including ineomes from other sources, Was nearly $300,000 less than the dividends paid to stockholders, so it can be readily seen how disreputahly its affairs were conducted. “Ag to the former official who was responsible for the gross irregularities | discovered, I have nothing to say.

Mr. Lionberger called attention to the } fact that in 198 the capital stock of the company was increased to $1,000,000. “The reduction of the capital from this sum to $350,000, and the diverting of the difference to the reserve fund was ordered by the New York and charges of enfbezzlement and forgery, caused the belief among court _offi- clais that she intended to drop prose- cution of the case. The case was. continued for the sec- ond time because of Mra. Buehler’s non- appearance. She is a teacher in the Riddick School and lives at 424A Cook avenue. It was stated by the prosecu- tion that illness kept her away, as it did when the case was first called. Fout, who was formerly Deputy Cir- cult Clerk, was arrested on charges of embezzling Mrs. Buehler’s money and forging her name to papers.

mays Sentence. Special oe to the Post-Dispatch nd New York World, LON DON, ‘Dec. 10.—Miss Alice Paul of Philadelphia, the suffragette who was arrested Nov. 9 and sentenced to a month’s hard labor for her share in the suffragette demonstration at the Lord Mayor's banquet at the Guild Hall, was released from Holloway Jail yester- day on the completion of her term. She left the prison in a cab, accompanied by two wardresses, and went to the home of friends. A doctor was immedi- ately called to attend her. Although palpably ill, Miss Paul was cheerful, saying she did not regret her conduct and was prepared to repeat it again if necessary. She was unable to undergo the ordeal of an interview, but later she sent the correspondent a short statement by a friend. Fed Twice Daily by Force. Miss Paul said sne was the grand- daughter of a New Jersey #éudge and a master of Arts of the University of Pennsylvania... .She told this story of her prison .life:.. . “T practiced.a hunger strike until Noy. 11.. After that date they fed me twice a day.-by.force, except on ope day when I was-too ill to be touched. I have no complaints against the Hollo- way officials.- } spent the whole time in bed, because I refused to wear prison clothes. Each day I was wrapped in blankets and taken to anotiner cell to be fed, the food being via er through my nostrils. “During this operation the largest wardress in Holloway sat astride my knees, holding my shoulders down to keep me from bending forward. Two other wardresses sat on either side and held my arms. Then a towel was placed around my throat, and one doc- tor from behind forced my head back, while another doctor put a tube in my nostril. When it reached my throat my head was pushed forward. “Twice the tube came through my mouth and I got it between my teeth. My mouth was pried open with an in- strument. Sometimes they tied me to a chair with sheets. Once I managed to get my hands loose and snatched the tube, tearing it with my ‘teeth.. I also broke a jug, but I didn’t give in.” Miss Paul lives alene in London. PATRICK HENRY’S BODY TO BE REMOVED TO RICHMOND Coffin Will Rest in. Yard of Church Where He Made Famous Speech.

The manu- facturers have been forcing compliance with their high price contracts by means of. fines on: wholesalers and threats of boycott. : PAIN IN THE BACK OFTEN MEANS RHEUMATISM IN THE BLOOD.

Here Is a Treatment That Is Highly Recommended as a Permanent Cure. Most treatments for rheumatism aim to “keep down” the poison in the blood and enable nature to cure that particu- lar attack. Then, when the system be- comes run down from any cause the disease again gets the upper hand, and it all has to be done over. The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills has proved by hun- dredsof cures that it builds .up, the blood to a point that enables it to cast out these poisons through the regular channels ot excretion, the bowels, kid- neys and the skin. When this is done the rheumatism is permanently cured and as the blood is kept pure and rich the patient will be immune from attack of rheumatism. Mrs. J. M. Nelson, of R. F. D. No. 1, Daingerfield, Tex.,. who was cured by this treatment, says: “The starting point of the rheuma- tism in my case was a cold. It becam» so much worse that I was confined to the bed for a part of the time. For a month I didn’t leave the house and for one week I couldn’t sit up. The rheu- matism attacked me in’ the back an! the pains were very severe and con- stant. In bad weather the paing would also be in my limbs. My back was sv painful that I couldn’t bend over. When I walked I had to use, two walking sticks. I couldn’t eat anything that would agree with my stomach. My heart pained me’ a lot and the doctors said this was due to indigestion. “I was treated for several weeks by the doctor “but wasn’t helped much. Then an aunt, who had* been benefited by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, urged me to try them. I did so and could see in) a week that they were helping me. In a short time I, was able to get up and walk around. I could bend’ over and a, things from the floor without urting my back. From that time the rheumatism hasn’t bothered me.” Sufferers from rheumatism in any form, who have found their condition unrelieved or actually growing worse while using ordinary remedies, would do well to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists or direct by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50¢. per ‘box : six boxes, $2.50. 22?

(ELAYA'S ARREST AS A MURDERER ASKED IN SENATE Congress Urged to Confer Power for Capture of Nica- raguan on President. END OF REGIME NEAR Belief That Resignation Will Come Soon Starts Talk of a Successor. By Assceiated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—A resolution authorizing the President to take the necessary steps for the apprehension of President Zelaya of Nicaragua and for his punishment on the charge of mur- der, if the facts in the possession of the State Department warrant such action. was introduced today by Senator Ray- ner., The resolution recites the circum- stances connected with the execution of two Americans, Groce and Cannon, by order of President Zelaya, as generally understood through published reports from Nacaragua. The resolution will lle on the: table, and Senator Rayner has given notice he will address the Senate in its support. Evidence is multiplying that Zelaya intends to retire from the Presidency of Nicaragua. Reports te that effect are general throughout that country and the American consular officers seem to giv e credence to them. Successor Is Sought. The latest scrap of news from Nica- ragua reached the State Department this mofning and stated that Jose Madriz was being talked of as Zelaya’s suc- sessor. In the absence of definite in- formation on this point, it is assumed this suggestion comes from Zelaya’s friends, and for that reason, as well as others, his selection would be far from satisfactory to this Government. Madriz was chairman of the Nicaraguan delega- tion to the Central American Peace Con- ference, held here in 1907, and he was also elected secretary of the conference. At present he is the representative of the Nicaraguan Government in the Central American Court of Justice at Cartago, which is charged with the set- tlement of questions arising among the several Central American countries. His selection as Presiaent of Nicaragua would not be satisfactory to the United States. The cruiser Albany and the gunboat Yorktown which received hurried or- ders last week while at Magdalena Bay to proceed immediately to Corinto, the Pacific port of the capital of Nicaragua, are now half-way to that place. Yes- terday they departed from Acapulco, Mexico, after having taken ona supply of coal there. Upon their arrival at Corinto the gunboat Vicksburg, which has been in the port some days, will be relieved to go to Panama for fuel sup- plies. Rebel Surrender Refused. BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, Dec. 10.— Gen. Estrada was dumbfounded today when he learned that the object of the conference of Zelayan envoys with Gen. Fornos Diaz, representing the insurgent leader, was to demand the surrender of the insurgent army. Gen. Vasquez, in command of a divi- sion of Government troops hear Rama, on Wednesday preposed a conference to Gen. Estrada. The latter, believing that Vasquez sought opportunity for an ad- vantageous surrender, sent Gen. Diaz to meet him, When Diaz heard the demand for the surrender of the insurgents, he imme- diately declared that Vasquez was the one who should surrender: WOMAN CLERK FOR D. A. R. 1S ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT Employe at Washington Headquar- ters Admits Defalcation of Thousands, WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Defalcations amounting to several thousand dollars from the Daughters of the American Revolution by a clerk employed in the national headquarters of the society here, were made known today. The society will not prosecute the woman, who confessed. The peculations cover a period of at jeast three years. The clerk, was dismissed and her name withheld. What has become of the money is puzziing the seciety’s officers. The clerk was possessed of an income suf- ficient to make her Independent, aside from an ample salary she drew from the office. She lived quietly, and with- out any outward display of even such luxury as she could afford.

-AANSDELL AGAI ~ EADS MOE OR DEEP WATERWAY Rivers and Harbors Congress Re-Elects Louisville Repre- sentative as President. CHICAGOANS JEALOUS Taft Inference That St. Louis Gave River Trip Arouses a Turmoil. al From a Staff Correspondent of the ; Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Joseph E. Ransdall, member of Congress from Louisiana, was re-elected president of the Rivers and Harbors Congress today at the closing session of this year’s convention. Capt. J. F. Ellison of Cin- cinnati was elected secretary-treasurer and John A. Fox of Arkansas was made @ special director. The congress passed a a resolution de- claring for' a new department in the Cabinet for the treatment of waterway improvements by regular annual ap- propriations and for the speedy com- pletion of waterway projects now un- der construction, to be paid eut of cur- rent revenues, if possible, otherwise for the sale of bonds. The resolutions made an appeal to Congress for an appropriation of $50,- + 000,000 for river and harbor work; and $50,000,000 annually for 10 years there- after; express the belief that the rivers and harbors bill should be placed on an equal footing with the other great appropriation bills and condemn what is declared to be the present method of appropriation whereby the river and harbor bill carries only what may re- main after the other budgets have been authorized. It is declared that unless the water- ways of the United States are so im- proved as to provide the proper trans- portation facilities this country cannot Ahope to increase its domestic commerce or extend its foreign commerce as it should, or to take advantage of the opening of the Panama Canal, in order to compete with the markets of the world. The resolutions also call upon states and municipalities to preserve and pro- tect their dock and landing facilities, without which the improved channel would be hampered in its usefulness. Luaropean Policy Cited. Prof. Emory R. Johnson of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, special repre- sentative of the National Rivers and “Harbors Congress, with the National Waterways Commission on its Luropean trip, made a short report of the inspec- tion of European’s waterways. , He stated that on the continent of Europe it was the policy of the Govern- ment to regulate railways so as to pre- vent their making destructive warfare upon the waterways. This, he _ said, would have to be done by the United States. “European countries,” he said, “have ‘not hesitated to borrow funds for wa- terways, where borrowing was neces- sary #0 economy. Nor should we hesi- tate. We ought, however, to berrow only when it is evident that a great and worthy project cannot be executed promptly from current revenues.”’ He said further that there avere only two ways in which the money sO bor- rowed should be paid back. One was ' by charging tolls and dues for the use of the waterways and the other to get funds by general taxation. Secretary-Treasurer Ellison reported upwards of $8000 in the bank, which he de- plored, because he believed that such a national association should have little or no money saved up, in order that the work of education might go on. Special Director Fox urged larger appropria- tions for the use of the officers in car- rying on a wider educational movement, a larger publicity in carrying the prop- aganda into the interior of the coun- try. James E. Smith of St. Louls, chairman of the committee on resolutions, report- ed that the resolutions would go to the President and the Congress as a report from a great business organization and he believed they would be operated upon by those who are in control of the busi- -ness»of the country. He believed further that the great wa- _terways of the country should be devel- oped before “Dreadnoughts” need be built to fight imaginary foes. The resolutions unanimously were adopted and a committee appdinted with James E. Smith as chairman and the chairman of the state delegations to | present them to the President of the United States, the Vice- President and the Speaker of the House. (hicazoans Are Jealous. Trouble between the Chicago Associa- tion of Commerce ‘and the Business Men's League of St, Louis broke out afresh during the call on President Taft to present the resolutions of the Lakes- to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association. - President ‘aft referred to the recent Mississippi River trip from 8t. Louis to New Orleans as having been given by the Business Men's League., This made the “‘hicago delegates angry, and they demanded that it be explained to Mr, Taft that the trip was conducted by the Lakes-to-the-Guif Association, The difficulty again was smoothed over by President Kavanaugh, who promised to have resident Smith of the - Business Men's League write a letter of explanation to the President. Mr. Kav- anaugh also promisad to write a letter to ce Pg President etating that the trip Was paid for by the Lakes-to-the-Gult Bote Droog R deen wa lerway ‘boomers met : ie se & | Taft in t enthusiastically and assured its mem- bers that the Mississippi River trip from St. Louis to New Orleans had riveted the attention of Congress on waterway improvement, and stated he was satisfied some action looking to- ward a beginning of the work on the rivers will be authorized at the present session. ‘of the Mississippi and Lilinois ‘rivers.

6.00 Extra Super Ingrain By far the most encouraging feature of the reception to the waterway boom- ers was the demand of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House for information regarding the improvement After Lyman E. Cooley, the Chicago engineer, had addressed the committee

for an hour, explaining the project in detail, all members of the committee of 5u0, except President Kavanaugh of the Lakees-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway sociation, withdrew te call on Speak Cannon, leaving Mr. Kavanaugh and Mr. Cooley to further explain its de- tails. The committee took Mr. Cooley in hand and pumped him for another half

hour. Then it called for Mr. Kava- naugh, and questioned him for 45 min- utes. The other delegates had com- pleted their calls on Speaker Cannon, Vice-President Sherman and Senator Frye of the Senate Committee on Com- reerce, and were ready to start for the White House to see President Taft be- fore the Rivers and Harbors Commit-

tee would permit Mr Mr. Cooley to go. > Kay Stace sbioeens a reception by the Rivers and Harbors |

SET MER BENEFITS PUBLIL President Vail Explains Advan- tages of Business Under One Control. DELAY IS OBVIATED With Common Head -Tele- phone and Telegraph Can Be , Used Simultaneously. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YOR, Dec. 10.—The practical side of the telegraph and _ telephone business under the control of a single concern was explained to some extent by Theodore N. Vail,. president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., before the Joint Legislative Committee which is looking into the advisability of putting these interests under the su- pervision of the Public Service Commis- gion. His explanation followed an af- firmative answer to a question from the commission's counsel, Ephraim J. Page: “Will the merger with the Western Union result in public benefit?’ The two businesses were distinct, Mr. Vail said, but with a common head the wires of each could be utilized, for the other. At least 7% per cent of the tele- phone trunk lines could be used for tele- graph purposes and 60 per cent of the telegraph trunks could be used for the two purposes simultaneously. Telephone service demanded two wires, so that one telephone wire could replace two tele- graph wires. The whole trouble with telegraphing in this country now, Mr. Vail centinued, was in the delay getting messages to and from the offices. If every sub- ecriber were to be placed in direct com- munication with a telegraph office and this arrangement were extended over the whole system of the telephone com- pany, Mr. Vail thought the service ren- dered would be almost instantaneous. Merger Plan Long in View. In fact, he testified that it had been phone people had gone to the pains of perfecting the system and making it as Lnearly complete as possible. This was taken by, many of the committee to mean that the telephone concern had been intending to take over the Western Union much longer than was generally supposed. Turning from this, Mr. Page asked whether the witness favored a monop- oly in such a city as New York. Mr. Vail smilea as he replied that he was in favor of a monopoly because he thought the telephone business was a natural monopoly. “Would you favor haying it controlled by the Government?’ asked Mr. Page. “That depended upon the nature of the regulation,’’ said Mr. Vail. He saw no objection to proper supervision. Mr. Page asked him whether he thought supervision of character and quality of service would be reasonable. Mr. Vail thought that it was to the company’s interest to see that its serv- ice was on a high plane. The great difficulty with regulation was that un- tried theories were likely to be saddled on the telephone business, with possible jloss to the company. “But do you see any wrong in the theory of public regulation,’’ was Mr. Page’s question. “I don’t care to express an opinion on that except to refer you to my last two reports,” answered Mr. Vail. ‘TI still think the same way.”’ Considers Charges Fair. He was asked whether he considered the company’s charges fair in all cases. “So long as we don’t pay an unrea- ponable dividend the rates can’t be con- sidered unreasonable,” said Mr. Vail. “We have to have capital on hand all the time to meet the service required a. iby the public, and above that a fair re-

and still have plenty of money to do your Ch ristmas sho iN with. ping | Clothing | for Men, Women,

1 LOT hichOen turn on investments.” He said that he didn’t consider a re- turn of 8 per cent unreasonable for a public utility company. “Ts it unreasonable to charge enough to build up a surplus and then capitalize that surplus and charge enough to pay dividends on the surplus?” asked Mr. Page. “Capitalizing a surplus may be proper, but it isn’t feasible any more for a pub- lic utility corporation,’’ was the reply. “But I don’t see any objection to run- ning up @ surplus if yeu don’t intend to capitalize it some day, and if it isn’t big enough to allow extraordinary divi- dends.’’ “But then,” sald Mr. Page, “you could invest that surplus if it got un- reasonbly high, pay expenses and divi- dends ort of the returns and give serv- ice to the public fer nothing. Is that sor” “It might be possible,” replied Mr. Vail, as he and the committee smiled. He added that there could not be any objection te reasonable regulation, and it seemed that it was only a question of what was reasonable. He thought that was “keeping a man from doing sumething he ought net to do.” Mr. Page believed that sounded altruistic, but he doubted if they could agree on “— ought to be done.

—_—S Ss Lane, of Interstate Commerce Commission Thought the Body Would Suffer if He Re- Signed—Corkscrews For Sale in Senate, ——_~©,,£,

a WASHINGIiON, Dec. 10. HEN the name of Franklin Lane for renomination to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion was sent to the Senate by Presi- dent Taft, a few friends of Mr. Lane took renewed hope in the safety of the nation and the future of the Republic. These friends are cocksure that faith- ful service has been rewarded and that Mr. Lane’s ideas of duty of government are confirmed. They recall that a few months ago Mr. Lane was approached py a Pacific coast friend to resume his private law prac- tice. The prospect or a great law case was laid before him. He figured it out and then came to the conclusion that to resign his office—ana he should have done that—would be to leave an. unfin- ished task and embarrass the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It took him a few minutes to decide not to resign, but to refer the pros- pective client to another lawyer. The new lawyers got ready to file suit to break a big will. Opposing law- yers saw them and compromised on a basis of two million dollars and attor- ney’s fees for the contestant. The at- torney’s fees amounted to $600,000. And to the grgeater credit of Mr. Lane, it may be said that he still thinks he did right. Secretary Knox Exercises His Humor on Persistent Reporter. stitution of the United States, a sense of humor. Sometimes he uses it and he did recently on a newspaper reporter who visited him at his home. The re- rorter wanted to know something about something and he found out nothing. “Just as a lawyer, not as Secretary of State, how about this proposition, Mr. Secretary?’ he asked, finally, “You have not approached me in the proper manner to get my opinion as a lawyer,” answered the Secretary of State. ‘TI don’t carry my check hook on Sun- cay,’ ventured the reporter. “Where do you keep your overdraft new?’ asked Mr. Knox, as the reporter started for his hat. ‘ Senators Can Get Cut Rates in Buying Their Corkscrews, LL those senators who have here- A tofore purchased their fancy goods at the Senate stationery room, saving about 50 per cent, must hereafter take their chances at the big department store. Handbags and all the stock of fancy articles have been cut from the list, leaving nothing but renknives and a strictly legitimate va- tiety of stationery material. One exception to the rule has startled a large number of senators and caused inuch gossip in upper circles. There are 83 corkscrews on hand, valued at $20.36.

has, in addition to dignity and a profound knowledge of the Con- Prize Tabbies and Fancy Chickens on Exhibition Simultaneously. a

Interest in the chickens at the State Poultry Show in the Coliseum abated cats, several ~alued as high as $1000 each, were placed on exhibition. The chickens were in their accustomed places and there was apparently not a thought among the aristocratic felines of harming a chick. A majority of the cats were Angoras, though there were a number of less valuable, though highly prized tabbies. Among the exhibitors of cats are Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Cummings, Mrs. Ruby Bauduay, Mrs. Charles Thiel, Mrs. J. H. Warner, Miss Mary Plant, Miss Jane Taylor, Mrs. Conde S. Cummings, Mrs. E. Seidel, Mrs. C. C. Long, Mrs. Charles Ellis and Mrs. George Shubert. G. G. Grote made almost a. clean sweep in the pigeon class. Out of 19 entries, his fantail pigeons took 14 firsts, one second and one third. His Jacobin pigéons took two firsts and three sec- onds out of eight entries... His four Pygmy pouters won four blue ribbons. The game chickens of Lee L. Steyer- mark won six prizes, taking first, sec- ond, third and fifth prizes for hens, and third and fourth prizes for pullets. Maurice Huber’s blue ribbon game cock was hatched from an egg given him by Steyermark. meeting of the Missouri State Poul- try Board, which has Leen conducting the poultry show all week, was held at the Jefferson Hotel Thursday night to discuss plans for promoting the raising of better poultry in Missouri. Secretary. F. E. Quinsenberry of Co- lumbia was instructed to notify poultry raisers that he would procure for them such settings of eggs as they desired. Members of the association will fill the orders. E. C. McCarroll of Vandalia, Cc. A. Morton of Webster Groves and 8S. J. Tetley of Farmington were appointed a committee to draft resolutions of thanks to St. Louis persons and firms who as- sisted the show.

PASTOR SELLS HIS COAL LAND TO AVOID BEING MILLIONAIRE Dr. Hillis of Brooklyn Believes That a Minister Should Abhor Money-Getting. NEW YORK, Dec. 10. —Only his be- Hef that a minister should not be in the money ing business has prevented Dr. Newel] Dwight Hillis, a Brooklyn pastor, writer and lecturer, from be- coming a millionaire several times over. Last summer he visited his 20,000-acre estate on Graham Island, off Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and in tramp- ing through rough woodland stumbled across a vein of coal. He had the vein prospected and experts declared it enormously rich. Dr. Hillis did not care to be involved in high finance while he still had his work as pastor, and so he sold the

cisco. It is understecd thet Dr. Hillis re- Celved $76,000. in addition to what he originally. paid for the property three years ago. . Tonight officials of the Western Steel

Lioyd By: $4200 The Dyspepsia of Old Age Strong Digestion and an Ade- quate Nutrition Invariably Mean a Long and Healthy Life. There is a process known as meta- bolism going on constantly in the body, and by which the tissues are built up, and after having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off. So long ag the due relation between waste and supply is maintained, nutri- tion, and the various functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and in old age there comes a time when waste exceeds supply, and when the various elements which constitute the different fluids, tissues and organs no longer hold their due proportion, and the principle of life itself becomes enfeebled, the body no longer having power to assimilate new material as it once did. As old age creeps on, all the func- tions gradually fail, especially those of digestion, absorption ani assimila- tion, and the system being deprived of its full quota of nutriment, slowly wears out. If the nutritive and di- gestive processes of old people could be maintained unimpaired, life could be prolonged almost indefinitely. There are many old persons in whose stomachs the gastric function is almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem is, how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach juices. There is but one way to overcome the effects of this condition, and that is to supply arti- ficially to the stomach a powerful di- gestive quyeteens to take the place of

naturally. For this purpose, there is nothing | superior to STUART’S DYSPEPSIA | TABLETS known to medical science, as they supply the deficiency, and are such a reliable and thoroughly efficient sub- stitute for the natural gastric juices, that if two or three are taken after each meal, the food will be digested in so complete a manner, that the natura] digestive fluids will never be missed. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets should be used by all old and middle aged per- sons, in order to prevent or cure the dyspepsia of old a Through their use complete digestion of the food is assured, with a consequent increased nutrition of the body, and a staving off of the sensibility and decrepitude of old age. This remedy is, however, not only good for the indigestion incidenta| to advanced life, but is also applicable to the dyspepsia and stomach troubles of any age, outh u Beewre a ‘patina of this famous dys- psia remedy from your druggist for Oc and if pe find "that as you get your on and assimilation becomes weaker, this enna will assist the stomach in: "the agenda of its functions, so that the general system will not suffer from the delinquency of the digestive ‘A sample will be sent you Ee

Dunsmuir vs. Dunsmuir arrangements are now being made for the trial which will involve a fight between heirs of the late Mrs. Juan Dunsmuir and the retiring Lieutenant-Governor. James Dunsmuir, for the recovery of an es- tate valued at power $15,000,000 and $18,002,000. Tho heirs are other inmembers of ‘the family of the late Mrs. Dunsmuir, who are suing the brother, alleging that he and the late Alexander Dunsmutr, an- other brother, obtained the Dunsmuir estate from the mother by false repre- sentations, having prevailed upon her to sell them the estate, including the Vancouver island coal mines and the Esquimalt and Nanaimo railroad lands, steamers,“ etc., for $400,000, when its value was, they assert, $15,000,000. When Alexander Dunsmuir died he willed his interests to James Dunsmuir. A suit was brought by the actress, hd- na Wallace Hopper, to break the will, without result.

RUSHES ACROSS STATES 10 JOIN ESTRANGED WOUNDED HUSBAND Wife Becomes Reconciled With _ Edwardsville Man Shot in a Quarrel. Mrs. “Michael Mansfield of Glenwood, Colo., hurried across several states to visit her husband, who had been shot. and from whom she had been estranged five years. She arrived Thursday at Ed- wardsville and went immediately to her husband’s bedside, where a reconciliation was effected. Mansfield’s physicians say that his wife’s presence has strengtli- ened him and that-he now has a chance to recover. Mansfield was shot Sunday in a con- troversy with Guy Weeks. Weeks is un- der arrest. Mrs. Mansfield was notified of her husband's condition, the telegram stating that he was mortally wounded. She immediately left her home in the West, where she had been living with relatives since the Separation. She was accompanied to Edwardsville by Mans- field’s sister.

—_» AMS BY LUYTIES ARE FOUND IN BOOKS Secrets for Which Sanitol Company Paid $500,000 Are Attacked.

ADMITS $10,000 DEMAND

Former Employe of Concern Says Money Was Due Him for Facial Remedy.

Augustus J. R. Muller, former chemist of the Sanitol Chemical Laboratory Co., and one of the plaintiffs in the receiv- ership suit of minorit; stockholders against the company, testified that all of the seven formulas for preparations which Herman C. G. Luyttes sold to the company for $500,000 worth of Sanitol stock were not entirely -jriginal with and in a journal of chemistry printed in 1901 were compared with the formulas exchanged by Luyties for stock. In regard to Luyties’ formula for anti- septic liquid the witness said there was a difference in the essential oj] used in the Sanitol formula and the book formula and also as to the amount of alcohol. The book formula called for wintergreen flavoring, while the Luyties formula prescribes peppermint. ‘the materials specified in the Luyties face cream formula are precisely the same, Muller said, as those in the book. The proportions, however, are different, he stated. There was nothing unusual in Mr. Luyties’ bath powder formula, the witness asserted. The principal in- gredients; he said,;-are borax and per- fume. “One might just as well use soap,’’ the witness added. The Luyties’ shaving foam formula, Muller testified, appeared to him to be an exact copy of the book formula. Muller was asked about the tooth- brush formula of Mr. Luyties. He an- swered that as long as he was with the company no toothbrushes were made by it. The Sanitol toothbrushes, he testi- fied, were imported from France and Japan. He was asked to compare two Sanitol toothbrushes, a prophylactic toothbrush and one purchased in a 10- ec.nt store. After examining the four brushes Muller said he could see no dif- ference. On cfoss-examination Muller said he had been discharged by Luyties because he made a demand on the company for $10,000, which, he declared, was due him under a contract if he prepared a form- ula for a satisfactory facial cream. He admitted he failed to write the formuia in a book when told to do so by the company’s secretary, ard also admitted copying some shipping invoices of the Sanitol Co. The trial of the case was resumed in Judge Wiluams’ Court Friday. An- other night session was held Thurs- day. WIFE KEEPS A SECRET FIVE YEARS ONLY TO FIND SHE HAS BEEN DECEIVED She Believed Her Husband Was Government Detective; Now He Has Disappeared. Mrs. Tom Riley of Little Rock, Ark., who ca:ae to. St. Louls a week ago with her nushband, who, as one of the for.- most of “ncle Sam’s ‘‘detectives,’’ was on the traf! of a very “bad bunch,” 's trying to find some trace of him. He disappeared Saturday night. After an interview with United States Secret Service Operatiye BE. J. McHugh, Mrs. Riley now has doubts that the Gov- ernment could not get along withou* her husband’s services. McHugh said Riley Lad never been in the Secret Service Department. Ascording to the story related to Mc- Hugh, Mrs. Riley had been living with her husband five years under the belie? that he was an agent of the Unite] States Secret Service. A week ago he tcl€ ner he had to come to St. Louis after a “bad bunch” and advised her to accompany him. Then rented a room in a house at Grand avenue and Pine street. Saturday night Riley disappeared. Wednesday sho called on. Operative McHugh. “I’m Tom Riley’s wife,’’ she _ said, “and I want to know where he is.’’ McHugh told her. he knew of no man by that name. “Well, he’s been a United States de. tective since he was 21 years old,”’ she retorted. > Then Mrs. Riley related thrilling sto- ries her husband had told her of nis encounters with dangerous men in caves, mountain fastnesses and dark halls of city dwellings. He had had numerous narrow escapes from death, and once he exhibited a bullet hole in his hat. McHugh told Mrs. Riley her husban/ was probably a member of a “mail or- der” detective agency, and that onlv the “dime novel” detectives had such encounters. Mrs. Riley said she would report her husband's disappearance to the police. She said she intended to return to Littie Rock. “ANOTHER COLD WAVE COMINS, ” So you had better get one of the §3 all-wool men’s.or young men’s suits or overcoats for $5. Globe, Tth and Frank-

He lives on North Highteenth street. He has 4 wife and two children, Beulah, ll years old, and Wesley, 5 years eld. A year ago the man had an attack of paralysis. He went to a hospital and he hoped that the disease would leave him. He hoped so because his son, Wesley, was at home with a plaster cast on his right leg as a result of spinal meningitis, and the physicians had told Coleman that the boy would be a per- manent invalid unless he were care- fully nourished and watched. He hoped he would be able to leave the hospital, because also he knew that the funds of his family had given out and that his wife working as a nurse could not make enough to keep the family.

Never before had he failed to give presents to his children. This pain was greater than that which held him to his bed. One day this week his daughter Beulah wrote a letter to Santa Claus, care of the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Association. In the letter she told of her father’s iliness and of her brother.

More Than a Score of Witness- es Yet to Appear Before the Grand Jury. “His Work Was Unsatisfactory, Lonsdale Declares in Co- penhagen Dispatch.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.—A versy over railroad legislation precipitated in Congress this winter, which, in importance, promises to sur- pass the legislative conflict over rail- road rates four years ago. The first gun was fired today by Sen- ator Cummins of Iowa, when he pro- duced a bill proposing radical changes in the Interstate Commerce act. In a large sense the Cummins measure is a substitute for the present interstate commerce act. It is expected that a measure propos- ing amendments to the law will be in- troduced early in January by Senator Elkins, which will differ from the Cum- mins bill in many important details.

In brief, the Cummins bill requires the Interstate Commerce Commission to pro- a cl Likens Lives of Self and Wife to Hugo’s Characters. * LONGS FOR HUSBAND contro- will be NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—A cablegram _fo the American from Copenhagen is as foliows: Here is Walter Lonsdale's statement.

The carriers are required to adopt this classification. The Commission is authorized to con- sider rates on its own motion with a view to determining their reasonable- ness, and is empowered to fix maximum 2nd minimum rates. In any action instituted in court to set asidé an order of the Commission re- specting the rates, the courts are pfe- vented from inquiring tmto the reason- ableness or sufficiency of any rate fixed by the Commission.

Specific directions are given for the disposition of the proceeds of any sale of bonds.

Sought to Bribe Rasmussen, Is Report COPENHAGEN, Dec. 10.—That an at- tempt has been made to bribe Knute Rasmussen to denounce Dr. Cook, os- tensibly from the Peary Arctic Club, Is the declaration published in the Polit- iken here today. The Politiken says that Siadteintoie re- ceived several letters, ostensibly from the Peary Arctic Club, asking him to de- nounce Cook. Rasmussen, who is half Dane and half Eskimo, is himself an Arctic explorer and a warm supporter of Cook. The Politiken hints that a handsome financial reward was held out for this Greenlander if he woukKi denounce Cook. pa a en) EXPLAINS TO THIN LADIES A Simple But Sure Method of Develop- ing a ell-Rounded | Bust and Figure.

' By Wire From the Was - reau of the Post-Dispatch, s: WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 ~The Senate insurgents @re facing the coldest win- ter ever. The signs given by squirrels storing nuts and cornhusks turning inward is nothing compared to the icy forecast handed forth at the White House. Those who fougght the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and finally voted against it musi expect to encounter sleet and brisk winds when they turn the corner of the Executive avenue. They must also figure on finding the doorway blocked by ice. Senator Dolliver of Iowa, who “‘in- surged” and took several shys at the woolen schedule along with other things, thought of a nice little postiffice into which a friend would just fit. He has- tened to the White House while the iron was hot. He requested an audi- ence with the President. After Mr. Dolliver had rested in a leather-cush- fjoned chair until his temper began to rise like a hot-air balloon, a messenger sauntered along and said: “The President says he is unable to see you. He will try to see you next week.”’ Senator Dolliver hastily remembered that the President will be in New York Monday, and his temper soared a few miles higher. “Please tell the President.’’ said Mr. Dolliver, with great vigor, and he has lots of it, ‘‘that if he sees me he will send for me.”’ It will be recalled that when Mr. Taft made his speaking tour through Iowa during the campaign he was accompa- nied by Mr. Dolliver. When Mr. Taft's throat cracked or his voice failed, Mr. Dolliver’s husky lungs came tv the rescue and rested the candidate. When President Taft passed through Iowa on his thirteen-thousand-mile trip this year, Mr. Dolliver remained in his tent and Mr. Taft’s throat and voice went to wreck and ruin for all he cared. Senator Dolliver’s sad experience in seeking an audience with the President has thrown the little band of the Senat: insurgents into turmoil of consterna- tion. It looks to them as if the Pres!i- dent intends to hand them aé good, fatherly spanking whenever the op- portunity is presented.

A New Dry Goods Firm. There has been some gossip recently in the wholesale dry goods market re- garding the formation of a new concern to conduct a general dry goods commis- sion business. The title of the new firm is to be McKittrick & Byrne. E. Mce- Kittrick & Co., at present located at 61 and 68 Worth street, New York, is known as ane of the high-class cotton goods houses ef the United States, with offices located !In Paris, Manchester, Belfast and St. Gall P. J. Byrne has for a number of years been buyer for and manager of the dress goods and wash goods department of one of the largest wholesale dry goods firms on Washington avenue, St. Louis. It is the intention of the new firm to go into the converting of domestic cotton goods on a large scale and to confine their business to jobbers and large depart- ment stores and to make St. Louis a distributing point. Several desirable lo- cations are under consideration, but none will be deciéed upon until’ Mr. Mc- Kittrick returns from Europe, where he is at present completing several impor- taut negotiations relating to the future business of the firm. i neeienaneall

' DECIDING VOTE _ IN LEAGUE ROW tr

Cardinals Owner Can Avert Trouble; Ward May Be Elected Just to Spite “Big Ban.”

Coast Man for dom next Wednesday evening. League, being president and owner as @ compromise candidate. ‘PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 10.—William C. Temple of Winter Park, Cal., will reach New York next Tuesday and will be a guest at the great base- ball banquet to be given by the Pittsburg world’s champions to baseball- . Temple, who was formerly one ef the moving spirits in the National | Pacific Coast on an invitation extended by Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg, and there is a report here that, in case the Heydler forces are not strong enough to re-elect the present incumbent, Temple may be offered by them Barney Dreyfuss yesterday received a letter from Temple announcing the acceptance of his invitation to be the champions’ guest. N. L. President of the Pittsburg club, comes from the

BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. q and let Johnny Heydler out. O all appearances, the National. League is courting trouble with Ban Johnson, the boisterous leader of the American League. It looks now as though the Nationals intend te elect John M. Ward as their president Ban Johnson has declared the American League would refuse to act harmoniously with Mr. Ward. Prebably Ban Johnson didn’t think the National League magnates would elect Ward when he made that rather dangerous statement. But he made it and there are some men in the National League who are just independent enough to put John M. Ward in the of- fice now just to show Mr. Johnson that hoe can’t run the affairs of their organ- {zation. That’s probably the exact cause of all this rowing over baseball at the present time and there will be gome lively times next week when all the parties come together in New York. Of course, it will be all patched up in the end and basebal) go on for a while longer in the usual peaceful manner, ‘but this break has helped greatly to bring discord between the two major leagues and when they fail to pull to- gether, then a general baseball war will result, new clubs will spring up in Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and pos- sibly St. Louis, and the sport will be back to those old days when the mag- “yates and scouts went frem place to _ Place by night and stole each other’s ypiayers. Stetniey Robinson, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, can avert immediate trouble in the present crisis. He is » bout the only magnate in the National League who has not publicly announced whether he would vote for Heydler or Ward. Stanley has said positively he has pledged his vote to no one and knows not how he will vote until he discusses the matter at the meeting. Herrmann of Cincinnati, Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and Dovey of Boston have announced they are for Heydler. Mur- phy of Chicago, Ebbetts of Brooklyn and Brush of New York have declared themselves for Ward. It is supposed adelphia club, is for Ward, so if Stan- ley Robison votes for Heydler, the re- sult would be a tie, in which case, Heydler would have a good chance to win. Now Murphy is against Heydler be- cause John Gecided a case against the Cubs, simply by upholding a decision of his umpire on the field. Ebbetts is against Heydler because he upheld arn umpire’s decision on the Brookyin grounds that went against the Brook- lyn club. Dreyfuss is for Heydler be- Cause it was the Pittsburg club that got the best of these decisions and be- cause it happens that Heydler didn’t have to make any decisions against Pittsburg last summer. Dovey is for Heydler because Dreyfuss is, and Herr- mann is for Heydler because he can’t deny that Heydler is a man capable of filing the place. Not one of these magnates has a good reason for. declaring himself on either side. Probably either man is well fit- ted for the job. It would be a splendid thing for the National League if it would get together on this question, then cast a unanimous vote for one man or the other and elect him for a period of five years. If no one can bring a reasonable objection to John Heydler he should be retained.

' Bresnahan and. Robison May Force a Good Trade From Other Magnates OGER BRESNAHAN will meet (-.) Stanley Robison in New York next week and they will discuss plans for the coming season. With the Cardinals’ owner living in Cleveland and the manager in Toledo, St. Leuls fans hear but little news of the local Nationa) Leaguers during the winter months. But the chances are that both Rob- json and Bresnahan are actively en- guged in working out schemes for next year. They are not likely to do much ‘trading before another season opens. Bresnahan has but little material to trade. But he will be keeping a watch- ful eye on the ether magnates a!) the time so they cannot let any of their ex- tra material get away without his hav- ing a look at it first. That was shown a few weeks ago when he grabbed Out- fielder O’Hara from the New York club ‘when that club wished to release the Young fellow to an Eastern League team where he might be nearer his home. : Bresnahan was the only Nationa’ | manager whe refused te waive claim and O’Hara became the property of the Cardinals. He is still trying to @et his release so he may go to Toronto, but Bresnahan can keep him if he de- sires. . . Roger will be at the meeting next week to find out from the other National League magnates if they are going to let any others loose. The Cardinals are han would like to have a string of about pick his next year's club. He has one grand infielder and one excellent out- fielder at the present time in Konetchy and Ellis, respectively. There isn’t an- other man on the entire club who is ab- solutely sure of a job. However, Huls- witt is satisfactory at shortstop and Mowrey should make a strong third baseman if his leg is all right in the spring. Storke is a promising young fel- low and Barbeau may improve. Evans is fast and can hit and plays a fair out- field. Phelps and Roger himself make a strong catching staff. The pitchers, however, are still crude. Sallee and Beebe are strong. Lush may not play ball again. Raleigh, Backman and Har- mon should develop, and there are other youngsters coming in. But on the whole, the Cardinals for next year do not impress one at the present time as being a club that will have a chance, and probably Roger Bresnahan knows this as well as any one. Undoubtedly he would like to pro- ‘ure an old pitcher and maybe a veteran nflelder, or one to work in the outfield o balance the club. It is just possible that Stanley Robin- 30n will have enough power at the meet- ing next week to force gome of the big National League magnates to give him a good ball player. Robinson seems to hold the balance of power in the elec- tion of a president for the League. If Murphy and Brush are so anxious to elect Ward and realize tnuey can dv it by gaining Rebinsons vote, he may be able to trade Laudermilk for Reulbach or

Mathewson by voting for Ward.

Storey, physica! director of the College of the City of New York, in a statement made public here, Dr. Storey was formerly physical 4i- rector of Leland Stanford Jr. Univer- sity, California, where they abolished football four years ago and adopted rugby. “Why tinker with the football rules?” asked Dr. Storey, “when the easy best thing is to go back to the original game, rugby? “Since the adoption of rugby at Le- land Stanford Jr. there has been no serious injury reported. The game is highly satisfactory from the spectators’ viewpoint; is beneficial to the players and has no objectionable features.”’ Stagg Off to See Game.

Pe ENGLAND IS OFFERED AS. SUBSTITUTE FOR COLLEGES Tired Cyclists Are Now Behind ee 2 NEW YORK, Dec. 10—Only 10 weary | teams of bicyclists remained in the six- day race at break Friday. Cameron and Krebs were ruled off the track at 4 o'clock because of Kreb’s weakness, which made it quite evidently impossi- ble that his team could last more than a few hours longer. An hour earlier the referee ordered Germain and Carapezzi to quit the track, as they were 150 miles behind the leaders and losing ground steadily. The six leading teams lost ground dur- ing the early morning hours in their contest against the six-day record and at 5 o’clock were more than five miles behind the best mark of previous years. The secre at 6 o’clock, the end of the l0lst hovcr, was as follows: Rutt-Clark, Hill-Stein, Root-Fogler, Walthour-Collins, Halstead-Lawrence, Pye-Hehir, 1956.6; Lawson-Demara, Mit- ten-West, Anderson-Vanoni, 1966.4; Geor- get-Georget, 1966.1. The record for the list hour is 19618 miles, ——_o-—_. MAGNATES CONCEDE THAT STANLEY HAS POWER NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The very best judgment in baseball circles over the presidency of the National League this merning is: First, that the situation is in the hands of the discreet and taciturn Stanley Robison. Second, that he will not vote for either Heydler or Ward, but will himself play the role of president- maker. It was cenceded by friends of both aspirants that neither had at pres- ent sufficient votes for an election and friends of both came as close to conceding that neither believed he could get Robison's vote as en- thusiastic workers could be expect- ed to eoncede, Garry Herrmann is on the ground in charge of the opposition to Ward, but was reluctant to indi- cate who, in his judgment, might be the choloe of the St. Louis man, Tied up as beth sides are to re peated public deciarations promul- gated by them and from which they cannot escape, there is an air of chagrin that they, the most powerful of the clubs composing the league, are in the position, at present at least, of being dictated to. Still there does not appear to be any escape from the situation, and Robison seems to be the dic tator.

a. WASSEM IS AFTER DOERR FOR MATCH is matched with ‘“Kid’’ Williams of Kansas City for a best two out of three falls match to take place at the Columbian A. C., has accepted Fred- die Doerr’s challenge. Wassem is a lightweight and will make 133 pounds for Willigems. Doerr will hardly be able to make lower than 145 pounds. Wassem declares that if Doerr will post a suitable forfeit to make 145 pounds that he will wrestle him for the $100 per side or even more money, the match to take place after Was- sem’'s contest with Willlams. Wassem, however, is willing to cover Doerr’s forfeit for a match as soon as Freddie mikes good with his challenge. FRED CLARKE PLANNING TO BECOMING A MAGNATE? Manager Fred Clarke of the Priates is coming out of the seclusion of his Kansas farm for the annual big league baseball meetings in New York. Presi- dent Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg cham- pions will also be there. The presence of Clarke can be accounted for in only one way—he must have some big deal in prospect. For the last few years the pirate leader has done an annual “‘fare- well,” announcing at the close of the season that he was through with base- ball for all time. Hach year Dreyfuss has coaxed him back again. No such word came from Frederick this year. he won a world’s championship and said he was after another. First base is Pittsburg’s weak point. It must be an initial sacker the pirate chief is after. BASEBALL UMPIRES TURN FLOOR WALKERS FOR WINTER CHICAGO, Dec. 10—Three umpires, Cusack, late of the National League; “Pipes” Conley of the Central and

TO SALT L. “Tex” Rickard Says Utah | Be Spot for Jeffries-John- son Battle July 4. BOSTON, Dec. 10.—When Tex” Rick- ard arrived here he was in a loquacious mood and proceeded to get rid of a lot of talk about the coming battle between Jeffries and Johnson. “The Jeffries-Johnson bout will be held in Salt Lake Jity,’’ sald the re- doubtable Tex. “and you can take it from me right now it will be no fake.” “Tex” ejaculated the last statement with such vehemence that it almost sounded like a vocal explosion. fe “I’m sick of this ‘fake’ talk,” con- tinued Rickard, “and I will give any- one $5000 if he will show me anything crooked in the arrangements, “I knew the day before the bids were opened that Johnson would stand by me and that Jeffries would be with Jack Gleason, so we got together and talked the matter over and came to an standing. Coffroth told Gleason to ahead and come in with me That Coffroth eut of the whole affair, and want the public to know he has nothing to do with it ! “The understanuing between Gleason and me is, that if the bout should be held in California he wag to get the per- mit, and if it takes place in Salt Lake, where I am satisfied it will, or Bly, Nev., I was to look after the permit. ‘I will not hve to fix any official in Salt Leke in order to hold the bout there. The bankers, brokers and busi- ness men of the city, who want me to hold it there, have given me all the as- surance necessary that it will not be interfered with. The Salt Palace, where the bout will be held, will, with some alterations, hold about 30,000 people.” Rickard added that if Eddie Graney does not referee the fight, no other Call- fornian will be the third man in the ring. ) “About the referee,” said Rickard, “I’ am willing te stand for Hddie Graney, but, believe me, no other California man will satisfy me. I am running the bout, and I am going to have something to} gay about what shall be done.” Rickard has signed up Jimmy Waleh of Boston to fight for the world’s ban- tamweight championship title as a pre- liminary feature to the big mill between Jeffries and Johnson. The promoter gaid he had not closed with Walsh’s opponent, Digger Stanley of England, but that he was negotiating for that end of the affair and had been assured that th» deal was safe. He also signed Sam a

MOORE’S VIEW HOPEFUL Head of Proposed New Termi- nal Association Catalogues Its Advantages. 7

President A. C.- Dustin of the Fort Smith & Western Railroad, who is in St. Louis Friday, is in a receptive mood towards the offer of President George FF. Moore of the St. Louis Manufactur- ers’ Raliway Co., to underwrite a con- solidation of the Fort Smith road with two others and form a new trunk line from the Southwest to St. Louis. “Our road has had extensive construc- tive work towards St. Louis under con- sideration for two years,” he said. “A line from Fort Smith to St. Louts could be built 75 miles shorter than any ex- isting route, and a saving of three hours in schedules would be highly important. I understand that the Busch terminal facilities are even better than those of the Terminal Association. I do not wish to say anything more at present.”’ Mr. Dustin has not yet received the letter sent him by Mr. Moore, in which negotiations were opened for the mer- of Fort Smith & YS 4 BIER AE EBD BREWER WHO “AIDS COMP, TERMINALS AND RAIL,

fits would accrue to us from the Busch merger.’’ President Moore, however, is optimis- tic as to the reception which he believes his proposal will meet at the hands of the boards of directors of the roads a let to the city from the Southwest. President Moore says he has been engaged for several months in the s@- lection of prosperous railways in Okla- homa and Arkansas, which could be merged into a trunk line to St. Louis, and avail themselves of the Manufac- | Letter From “John Schwartz” AN WRITES T0 POST-DISPATCR HES ENDING LIE States He Has Stabbed Him- self at River Brink. , A blood-stained letter, dated Dec. 2, Tr p28 i Bare Hy

The check turned up at a bank Friday, being presented there by W. M. Gullett. a Granite City saloon keeper, who had taken it over the bar and given change for it. Payment on the check had _ been stopped and Gullett started a search for the man whe had given it to him. He caused. the arrest of Petér Miller of Madison, and Miller will have a hearing

We have at present just as adequate inlets into St. Louis as the proposed new line from Fort Smith to St. Louis would afford us, for we connect with the ‘Katy’ at Crowder City, Ok., and with the Frisco and Iron Mountain at Guthrie, Ok.” “The Manufacturers’ Railway cannot make a new line from Fort Smith pay unless it couples up with several of the smaller Southwestern railroads like ours. We shail wait to be shown what bene- fer immunity from the Terminal Asso- clation’s switching charges and from what Mr. Moore calls its “Union Sta- tion in the slums.’’ Compete With Union Station. The proposed Busch enterprise is the establishment of a second Terminal As- sociation in St. Louis, with inlets from beth east and west, and a _ $3,000,000 passenger and freight station in South St. Louis, on Grand avenue, near Osce- ola street, to compete with the Union | Station on Market street. The Manufacturers’ Railway Co. has a franchise for laying tracks from Utah street southwest to the city limits, but it has never made use of this grant. It is prepared to do so now, and by this means open an independent railroad in- “The three railroads which I have invited to join in the merger,’ says Mr. Moore, “already are stretching them- selves towards Kansas City. We want to divert them to St. Louis. The Frick interests of Pittsburg have heavy in- vestments in these roads, ana the bring- ing of these interests into close con- nection with St. Louis could not but profit the city. Benefit of Separate Terminals. “A city as large as St. Louis should not be content with a union rallway station. Chicago wouldn't stand for such a thing and has four or five in- dependent terminals. These mean that tourists spend their money in four or five different parts of the city, instead of one. May God pines my wife and chil- dren. I now stabbed myself to death. May God bless“the one who finds me and gives the watch and the $75 I got hidden in my stocking te my darling wife and children, JOHN SWARTZ. Put this in the paper, and my wife might help find me. I stabbed myself at the very edge of the Mis- sissippi River, at the span of the Eads Bridge, the one at the edge of the river. By the time that you will get this I guess I will be a crop- py and washed down the river.
