Nothing Definite Has Been Heard From Girl Since She Disappeared. PORES RES By Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 11.—The po- lice investigation of the disappearance from her home in this city last Wednes- day of 8-year-old Alma Kellner pro- ceeded upon a new tack today. Chief of Police Lindsay declared the search which his men have made has convinced him that the theories of foul play or accident to the child are untenable and that she undoubtedly ig being held somewhere. i Rae L. Kellner, father of Alma, said teday that he believed his daughter was looking at toys tn the shop win- dows on Walnut street, when, as he ex- pressed it “somebody nailed her.’’ He said the child made friends with stran- gers in a quick, responsive way and that after she had attended church, for | #4 which nurpose she left home, she was curred wandering among the Christmas dis- | ?!0Dt»S. ed ae plays when she was kidnaped. “Shortly after the dividend was de- clared we wanted to rescind it, but our attorneys informed us that under the law we had no right to do so. “The New York Insurance Commis- sioners say that former President Phe- BROKAW HINTS lan overdrew his account $30,000, but they fail to add that he paid back that sum to the company.’ Mr. Udell said he was not a director of the company in 1908-when a 43 per cent dividend was declared, resulting in the shares advancing to $300 on the St. Louis Stock Exchange.

She was pre- paring for her first communion, and she often stayed after scheo! for religious instruction, and went to the chapel for devotion.’’ Said an older schoolmate: “She had such pretty, cunning Ways; people were always noticing her on the street.

In a statement to a morning “paper Saturday he repudiated this interview generally without any specific statement as to possible errors in it. A Post-Dispatch reporter called on him Saturday to point out specific inaccuracies, if there were any. He declined to de this, but dictated the following statement: In respense to your request for a statement from me in explanation of my repudiation of an interview pub- lished in your columns, I submit what follows: Your reporte~ came to interview me about charges preferred against former directors of the American Credit-Indemnity — sl District Station after Bradley’ sn ino Globe-Democrat .

DENIES | CHARGE SE. ..; HE ‘Mrs. Louis Waldecker” Liv- ing in Philadelphia. eet Mrs. Laura Waldecker of 4244 Linton street, who has filed an amended Dill for a divorce from Louls Waldecker on the ground that another woman and chiid in Philadelphia bore his nam¢, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that she first learned of the Pennsy:- yania wife and child by reading soine old communtieations from Joseph Wel- decker, father of Louls, to his son in which the elder Waldecker made refer- ence to Louls Waldecker’s providing for the support of his child through the Phijadciphia Bureau of Charities. When Mrs. Waldecker questioned her she says he denied the existence of the other Mrs. Waldecker. She told a Post- Dispatch reporter that- after the denial by Waldecker she wrote to a Mra. Amelia Waldecker at 3820 North Fif- teenth street, Philadelphia, but received no answer, She said she then sent copies of the Post-Dispatch containing the divorce proceedings and Waldecker’s picture. This was answered, she says, by letters from; a Philadelphia lawyer which in- for-réd her of the existence of Mra. Amelia Waldecker and a 9year-old son, Jacob Waldecker. Waldecker’s lawyer, V. W. Gar- esche, filled a motion in Judge Kin- sey's court Saturday that the charge concerning the Philadelphia wife be stricken from Mrs. Waldecker’s pe- tition, also the charge involving Mrs. Lillian Kyhl, bowling champion. The attorney said Waldecker would fight the case vigorously. When seen at her home in Philadel- ohis, Mrs. Amelia K. Batteaux Wal- decker told » Post-Dispatch correspon- dent that her husband is a Louls Wal- decker who nuow lives In St. Louis. “Our married life was happy for a few months,”’ she said. “‘We were mar- ried Jan. 8, 1908, by the Rev. R. Cc. G. Bielinski, pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church. At the time we were married my husband was employed by an EHast- ern jewelry firm. “After a few months my husband be- gan to stay out late at nights and showed signs of wanting to leave me. “About a month ago I received a letter signed. Mrs. Louis Waldecker from St. Louis telling me that she had married Louis and had been living with him for some time.’’: Mrs. Laura Waldecker says she wants not want him to be in a position to marry another. That, she says, was her reason for volunteering her evidence in the divorce suit of Mrs. Lillian Kuhl against Warren Kuhl. The.Kuhl 4dl- vorce was denied after she had testi- fied to Mrs. Kuhl’s actions with Wal- decker. She says that if Mrs. Kuhi had obtained a divorce she probably would have dropped her suit against Waldecker.

There should be someone who would take care of Tommy and not let him go yut on the streets, in bare feet and with tattered clothing. But there isn’t. Tom- my has no father and his mother is an invalid. So that is why he goes out with liis little cart which he made him- self and picks up einging wood and bits of coal. Tommy has been so busy lately that he has no time even to think of Christ- mas. So. if Santa @laus does not visit his home he won't miss him very much. That. is, he won't miss him any more than. he misses good food, warm cloth- ing and a cozy bed in which to sleep. But if you saw him on the street, with his little face pinched with the cold and his patient eyes looking at you, don’t you .think the though would come to you that it would be a wonderful thing to tell Santa Claus that he ought to visit this boy this Christmas? Think What you Should Do. Think how glad Tommy would be. Imagine how his face would become ra- diant with happiness. Imagine how his little blue lips would tremble when the joy of it all made him feel like crying. But we don’t have to tell you what to imagine about Tommy. You know. It’s only a question of stopping to’ think about what you know. So what will you give to make him happy on Christ- mas day?

Muench’'s was encouraged to . marry Mre Kraschnesky, promise to divide her cAsh, bim, chiléren. After the wedding. he declared, he waited patiently for his $4500, and after a time he asked for it, but his bride did not “‘come across.”’ Mrs. Hiles is now, 17 months after the marriage, suing for what will be, if she gets it, her third divorce. Her motion ior alimony, pending a decision, was be- fere Judge Muench Saturday, and she made no mention, in her testimony, of the $9000 mentioned by Hliies. Instead, she said she was without means of sup- port. Judge Muench ordered Hiles to pay $2 a week to his wife while the suit is pending, and to pay, in addition, $15 to her lawyer and $25 as security for court costs. Hiles’ lawyer, George E. Mix, opposed the motion, and said he would show that the marriage of the couple was not lawful.. He pointed out that they were married in East St. Louis in July, 1908, hardly more’ than a month after the woman had obtained a divorce from Frank Kraschnesky in St. Louis. Illi- nois’ law forbids the marriage of di- vorced persons within one year after the decree. Mix contend: that this applied to persons who had been di- vorced in other states. Judge Muench indicated, by some of his questions and remarks, that he took an opposite view. The children of the pair by their for- mer marriages were a source of the trouble which led to the wife’s suit. She charges that, while she was sick in a hospital, he turned her children out of the house, and that a.woman to whose presence she objected .ept house for him. Mrs. Hiles, who is a nurse, also charges that Hiles spoke to some of her women patients in a way which of- fended them and impaired her earn- thgs. She lives at 2234 Franklin ave- nue. Hiles recently removed from 2514 University street to 2206 University street. Mrs. Hiles’ first husband was Joseph Keller, whom she drvorced seven years ago, later marrying Kraschersky. She became. acquainted with Hiles through nursing the first Mrs. Hiles before the birth of one of the Hiles children. At the Franklin avenue address Sat- urday a married daughter of Mrs. Hiles, who said she herself was plaint- iff in a divorce suit, said she did not think Mrs. Hiles intended to marry again, Hiles has iniimated that she does. | * Si | ¢ wiry eocen co !

Most of the events of any consequence have been held in the West, and they should be man- azed in the West.

Only Mayor Kretsmann’'s signature is required to give effect to the ordinance wards of the city plan of Jeptha D. Beadle and other Re- publican workers. The bill will reach the Mayor next Wednesday, is no doubt that he will sign it. In both and Council the measure received the unanimous vote of redistricting the 28 according to the Howe, Horace G. and \there the House . the Republicans at Friday's meeting. The Democrats voted against it, but only in the Council was there any criti- cism of the scheme. Councilman Crunden called the bill a Gerrymander, and said it would impose on the city an unnecessary expense in view of the likelihood of a rearrange- ment of boundaries at the hands of the Foard of Freeholders. In a letter which President Henry Garneau of the Board of Education wrote to Councilman Crun- den, it was charged that the redistrict- ing would reduce the number of surely Democratic wards from eleven to five and give the Republicans control of about twenty instead of thirteen. : The present system, Mr. Garneau said, had at least given Democratic voters in the city a fair representatidn in the House of Delegates, while the re- arrangement proposed by Mr. Howe and Mr. Beadle would destroy the political balance and tend to a dominance that would threaten good government. Republicans in the House and Council defended the redistricting as in com- pliance with the charter and the laws governing apportionment. Dwight F. Davis, a member of the Board of Freeholders, formerly Delegate from the Twenty-eighth Ward, spent about five hours in the Council and House urging immediate action on the bill. The Civic League is considering the measure and some members of the Council thought approval might be withheld. READJUSTMENT OF FRANCHISES OF UNITED RAILWAYS ADVOCATED of Maxime Reber Tells Freeholders Conforming Lines to City’s Growth Is Necessary. Before the Board of Freeholders, Pres- ident Maxime Reber of the Board of Public Improvements advocated a read- justment of the franchises of the United Railways Co. so that it can abandon some tracks in parts of the city where they are not needed and extend them to other sections of the city where they are necessary for its development. He said the United Railways Co. would be glad to relinquish sonie of its fran- chises for others, and that the city would get a better service by the ex- change. The readjustment would make the street car lines conform more nearly to the city’s lines of growth, he said. It would, at the same time, decrease the mileage of the street car system, thereby enabling the company to give better service. Mr. Reber said most of the Free- ‘holders agreed with this opinion.

BURTON IS CONVERTED Ohio Senator No Longer in Favor of Making Patch- work Improvements. —_—__ From a Stnff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec: 11.—The 5000 wa- terway boomers who have been in Washington memorializing Congress and the President ana attending the Rivers and Harbors Congress, left for their nomes with the firm conviction that the Government is ahout to enter upon an extensive plan of inland waterway im- provement, beginning most likely with the Lakes-to-the-Gulf project. Jf petitions have any weight with the President and Congress, some de- cided action looking to appropriations for the rivers may be expected within the next few months. Scarce!ly a day passed during the week that a big dvle- tation did not call on the President, the Speaker, the Vice-President and _ the committees in charge of waterways hills and demand the improvement of the water highwars. The greatest of all obstacles to inland waterway improvement lias been se- moved. That was Theodore FE. Burton, former chairman of the Rivers and Har- Lors Committee. When he was electea Senator he was made a member of the ‘Commerce Committee of the Senate, which corresponds to the Rivers and Hiarbors Committee of the House. It was Burton who, year after year, spiked the guns of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf waterway advocates, and refused to let them get their project before Congress. Senator Burton Converted. Burton has been converted to inland waterways improvement. Much to the surprise of the waterway advocates, he made a speech before the Rivers and Harbors Congress advocating liberal ap- propriations for the improvements of the streams, and denouncing as waste- ful the policy of small appropriations for patchwork—a policy, by the way, of which he Was formerly the foremost advocate. “ It is regarded as practically certain by the waterway boomers that Con- gress will commit itself during the pres- ent session to the improvement, on a big scale, of the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois rivers. President Taft has defi- nitely committed himself to this plan. Being from Ohio he probably will insist that the Ohio River be included in the Lakes-to-the-Gulf project. The Ohio River boomers are demand- ing nine feet from Catro to Pittsburg. The improvement of the Ohio, it is con- ceeded by the Lakes-to-the-Gulf advo- cates, would be of great aid in obtain- ing the necessary appropriations for the Mississippi River from Cairo to the Gulf. . The Ohio River people are as much interested in the improvement of the lower Mississippi as tne Lakes-to- the-Gulf advocates. Strong Speech by Dalzell. Congressman Dalzell of Pittsburg, one of the real powers in Congress, made possibly the strongest speech in favor of inland waterways improvements at the Rivers and Harbors Congress. The Ohio River boomers adopted the methods of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf advo- cates and called on the President, the Speaker, Vice-President and House and Senate committees and presented their resolutions. The resolutions of the Riv- ers and Harbors convention were also presented in person by committees to the President, the Speaker and others. Lyman E. Cooley, the Chicago en- gineer, who so ably presented the Mis- sissippi and Illinois riwer project to the Rivers and Harbors Committee, wil] re- main in Washington to prepare a bill for a continuing appropriation of $93,- 500,000, to be expended in ten years, for making the 14-foot channel from the lakes to the Gulf. Iliinots Shows Earnestness. Mr. Cooley is a river engineer of wide experience. He has been the adviser of Gov. Deneen and Senator Lorimer of [iinois in the scheme of waterway im- provement in that State. His statement to Congress that Illinois fs spending $100,000,000 on the drainage canal to con- nect it with the Illinois River for the purposes of navigation, and proposes to make a gift of the work to the Govern- ment when it builds the 13-foot channe} from Utica to the Gulf, made a deep impression on the Rivers and Harbors Committee. It demonstrated to the committee that Illinois, at least, is deeply in earnest in the matter of waterway improvements. and will do her share of the work. REPORT TUESDAY ON DOXEY CASE Fight. Witnesses Still to Be Examined and There Is No Session Today. i aemnenetiiiemeememeeees adie LOOK AT SIGNATURES Jurors Compare Dr. Doxey’s Writing in Police Blotter With Hotel Register. ieeteeeeeemeere The grand jury wil! resume its in- vestigation of the Doxey case at 2 p. m. Monday. -Eight witnesses are stil! to be examined and it is thought a report cannot be made before Tuesday. Satur- day whitewashers were busy calcimin- ing the room in which the jury meets. Mrs. Doxey passed a quiet night in the jail. On awaking she again pleaded that her husband, Dr. Loren B. Doxey, be permitted to see her. He is still at the Merchants with Jefferson Fuller, Mrs. father. Doxey's Signatures Compared. At Friday's session of the grand jury a page from the register of the Moser Hotel containing the name, “LL. B. Er- der,”” was compared with the holdover book of the Central District Station in which Dr. Doxey wrote his name when he was arrested after the Erder in- quest. While no statement was given out at the Circuit Attorney's office, the gen- eral impression at the Four Courts was that this comperison was made in an effort to prove that Dr. Doxev was at the Moser Hotel wih his wife three weeks after Erder’s death, and that. he used Erder’s name to conceal his iden- tity. Dr. William H. Warren was a wit- ness before the grand jury to tell of his analysis of Erder’s organs, in which he found arsenic, and four newspaper men were called to testify as to interviews with Dr. Dotey. Former Husband Has Faith. Robert J. Downing, former husband of Dora E. Doxey, while he has declined to discuss the Erder case for publica- tion, is quoted by close friends in press dispatches from Joy, Ill., as saying that he does not think his former wife poi- soned William J. Erder. His comment as quoted has always been: “Dora, my girl wife, was not merce- nary. She never schemed for money. I cannot believe that she would take a human life to get insurance.” Dispatches from Joy details as to the separation ‘of the Downings and say that Downings’ sus- picions were first aroused when he went home one night and found Dr. Doxey in the hallway. Articles of separation were drawn up and signed by Mr. and Mrs. Downing. Dr. Doxey left Joy the same night and was never seen there again. parture was so hurried that he left aq of his property behind him. Mrs. Doxey went to live at Bloom- ington, Iil., with her mother, who was living apart from her father, Jefferson Fuller. Hotel Doxey's Diamonds on Credit for Christmas.

FRISCO EXECUTIVE SEES END OF THE RAILROAD LOBBYIST Carl R. Gray Calls Him Leech Who Fathered Anti-Rail- road Measures. Carl R. Gray, senior vice-president of the Frisco, in an address at the an- nual Christmas entertainment of the St. Louls Railway Club, at the Odeon Fri- day night, declared that the railroad lobbyist, using that term in an offensive sense, was a thing of the past, and that in the future the lobbyist, by upright dealing, will command public respect. Mr. Gray admitted the railroads had improperly used the power which they obtained through going into politics in the first instance to protect their prop- erty. He declared the professipnal lobby- ist was a leech who kept the railroad in his power by causing anti-railroad treasures to be introduced that he might oppose them. A vaudeville performance was given ty the chilGren of members of the club and each number.was accorded applause and several encores.

Washington, has ‘for a subtitle “The Rise of the From Slavery.”’ It is an earnest fort to put before the world a mass ‘facts tending to encourage the hopes, it nly of the negroes, but of all who sire their prosperity and advance- 3 ua HE STORY OF THE NEGRO,” at. An his preface Mr. ‘Washington says: » writing this volume it has been my to show what the negro him- has accomplished in constructive apne.

The authot’s own p are that he is not trying to de- yaeibe “the whole’ condition of. negro = @, but only those portions of it whieh Ww. | and prosperity. In striv- i for the best effects in that way, it “perhaps inevitable that he has been by hs fervor and his faith to ex- ing better conditions for both white and black. The moral which the author draws &s a conclusion from all the mass of facts he has gathered from study and expe- rience, is too important to be over- looked. He tells the story of an old negro who, when questioned about his slave days, said his master was kind, his work light, his food good and his carés much fewer than since emancipa- tion. He was asked: ‘‘Would you pre- fer to return to slavery?” The old dar- key shook his head: ‘‘No, sir, dere’s a certain looseness about-dis liberty dat I sorter enjoys.”” The author says: ‘It is a mistake to assume that the negro who had been a slave for 2%0 years, gained his freedom by the signing on a certain date of a certain paper by the President of the United States. It is a mistake to assume that one man can, in any true sense, give freedom to another. Iree- dom inthe larger and higher sense, every man must gain for himself. In this larger and higher sense the negro is slowly but surely gaining his free- dom in every state, in every city, in every village and on every plantation in the South.”’ And this is the moral and conclusion: “We have hard problems, it is true, but instead of despairing in the face of the difficulties, we should as a race thank God that we have a problem. “As an individual I would rather be- long to a race that has a great and dif- ficult task to perform than be a part of @ race whose pathway is strewn with flowers. It is only by meeting and manfully facing hard, stubborn and dif- ficult problems that races, like individu- als, are in the highest degree made strong.’ (Doubleday-Page.) A Captain of Industry. N the life and works of Cyrus Hall McCormick, whose pioneer work was the inventing of farm machinery, Herbert N. Casson has found material for an industrial romance as fertile as his discoveries in the steel industry. In McCormick he finds one of the men who made the industrial greatness of this country possible. ‘‘He was not brilliant,’’ says his biographer, ‘‘he was not pic- turesque. He was no caterer for fame or favor. But he was as necessary as bread. He fed his country as truly as Washington created it and Lincoln pre- served it. He abolished our agricul- tural peasantry so effectively that we have: had to import our muscle from foreign countries ever since.”’ With such a theme it is not surpris- ing that,so apt a performer as Mr. Cas- son has “produced a work in which the prospect of tiresome detajl gives way to the realization of agreeable interest. He traces the causes of McCormick—his poverty, his humbleness, always incen- tives to ambition when accompanied by mental alertness and power, and shows that the world was ripe for the man as the man was ripe for his task. In 1800, when McCormick first saw the light, the methods of the farm were those of 20 centuries before. ‘‘The fron plow would poison the soil.’’ Grain was planted by phases of the moon. The scythe had been invented in 1665 and im- proved to the cradle, but mostly grain was cut by the sickle that the Baby- lonians used in ee valley of the Eu- phrates. Needless to say, the story of the reap- er, dealing with an epochal event, is of commanding interest from beginning to end. (McClurg.) The Liberty of Prophesying. NDER the title, “The Liberty of [] Prophesying,’’ Dr. H. Hensley Henson, canon of Westminster, has published the Lyman Beecher lec- tures delivered by him before the Yale Divinity School during the past vear. To the lectures he has added three sermons preached in England, dealing with the same general subject as the lectures, and to some. extent supple- menting the course. As the title implies, the vital theme of the lectures is a plea for a larger liberty of thought and speech for the preachér as against both doctrinal tra- dition and church authority. The argu- ment, of course, is based upon the Protestant and not upon the Catholic conception of the relation of the preach- er to tradition and to the church. While making the plea for a larger freedom, Dr. Henson is careful to note and to emphasize the danger of too much laxity or intellectual indolence, in the pulpit. In fact, he points out that temptations to a sort of popular preach- ing are already very great, both in America and in Great Britain. ‘“Preach- ing, in the true sense,’ he says, “hag almost perished before the stream of impromptu speech. The practice of speaking off the surface of the mind ig easily acquired and highly applauded by the religious public, which admires the facile fervor of the popular orator far more than the disciplined earnest- ness of the studious divine.” Another sort of tyranny that ham- pers the freedom of the preacher, ac- cording to Dr. Henson, is what he calls “Commercial Christianity.” Of that force he says: ‘It is apt to be moralty lax, but intellectually rigid; it easily favors sensational preaching and es- thetic services, but it has little concern with thought and is actually hostile f> discipline. The Christianity of the po ture will be more and more centered { great cities. The church wil! perinae the tastes and refiect the standards of business men. “Spiritual efficiency,” understood by successful city men i be the accepted equivalent of truth; and the liberty of prophesying wil! be strait. ly conditioned by the prevalling fashion. In this situation I apprehend large pos. sibilities of oppression.” From first to last, the lectures form ‘ ${plea which will doubtless give rise to considerable controversy. The uphold- ers of church traditions and of Epis- ecopal authority will be touna attacking them on ore side, while afvocates of 2 | popular Poet oF Will attack them on ard | the ot Out of the controversy, how.

——_— eee laity, and if so the value of the book will be much greater than can be at present appraised. (Yale U. Press.) The Folk That Prey, P ROBABLY the best impression of the plan and scope of Pac cq ot by Horace W. C. Newte, will’ be conveyed by the preface: Nowadays all nice people fall asleep of nights, trusting more or less implicitly to Providence and the policeman) to protect them from harm. The while they rest in se- curity, outside, in the night, a piti- less struggle is waged between vari- ous species of antmals and insects which prey on one another with ruth- leas ferocity in order to exist. The contrast between those who reat in safety and the beings who fight for life in the darkness is much the same as that furnished by the lives of pro- tected and unprotected women. The following story is an attempt to de- scribe, with some approximation of truth, one of these latter. The author then proceeds to tell an unvarnished tale, wherein pitfalls and triumphs are mingled, the whole making a powerful sermon on the mannérs an’ customs of men that are sadly in need of 1eform. (Kennerley.) Great American Fortunes. HE first volume of what is designed 7 to be a comprehensive ‘History of Great American Fortunes” has just been issued. The author, Gustavus Myers, is also author of a ‘History of Tammany Hall,” a “History of Public Franchises in New York City,” and oth- er works of a similar character. The aim of the writer is to demonstrate that the existing order of society is based upon principles fundamentally wrong. In tracing the history of large fortunes that have been formed in this country, he notes that all of them have been due in a large measure to practices of fraud and corruption, or to the folly of com- munities in permitting grasping and greedy men to.take for themselves all of the increment in the values of land and of franchises. For these evils the author does not condemn the wealth- acquiring rascals so much as the social conditions that permit it. Thus, for ex- ample, he says: “Our plutocrats rank as nothing more or less than so many unavoidable crea- tions of a set of processes which must imperatively produce a certain set of results. These results we see in the ac- celerated concentration of immense Wealtli running side by side with a propertyless, expropriated and exploited multitude.’’ The volume under review is divided into two parts: The first deals in a cur- sory manner with the great fortunes of Colonial times, including that of Stephen Girard, while the second part reviews elaborately the processes by which the Astor fortune in New York and the Mar- shall Field. fortune in Chicago were ac- quired ‘and augmented. (Kerr.) © A Shovwer of Stones. . > INCE the days when Max Nofgeu uttered.ah almost genera) indict- ment against degenéracy in lit- erature no other book has been sO gen- eral in its condemnation- of contem- poraneous authors, playwrights, man- agers, newspapers and critics as in “Their Day in Court,” by Perctval Pol- lard. The author is well known in this city, as he lived and wrote here some years ago. The subtitle to the book, “The Case of American Letters and Its Causes,’”’ gives an inkling as to the matter it contains. Like Nordau, ‘the author has the whole field under con- sideration, at his fingers’ tips, or rather, at his pen’s point. He does not merely condemn. He quotes, thus giving those he. censures or {ndicts a hearing in thefr own defense. But those he quotes seem to have no defense, just as those Nordau quoted hardly had any. The opening chapters entitled Wom- en, Womanists and Manners, shows the erotic works which have come from the pens of women novelists, with am- ple quotation to make the case’ against them. Then he quotes a few feminists who in their works pandered to sexo- maniacs of both sexes. Mr. Pollard re- sembles Nordau in more ways than one. He is as impulsive, as irritable, as fervent in his condemnation of those who write works he dislikes as is the author of Degeneration. The author must have had some sad experiences since he regards every newspaper man as dishonest, inteliec- tually, petty, jealous of his colleagues, plotting, intriguing ever in order to rise. The newspaper he holds respon- sible for most of our degeneracy in lit- erature and drama; He argues that the anonymous book review, the imper- sonal criticism, has done more than anything else for the deterioration of our art. He pleads for the return of personal criticism, of the criticism where the critic’s personality, his taste and his bias, art bias, act as a kind of censorship. As theatrical censorship is just now of interest in our city, it may be well to remind those who desire it that the best censorship is honest, conscientious criti- cism. This is one of the remedies sug- gested by Mr. Pollard against the dis- ease of which our letters and our art suffer through the poison of “‘greéd and dishonesty, greed and dishonesty.’’ Incidentally, the author touches upon the literatures of many European countries, which, of course, makes the volume more interesting and more valu- able. The closing words are full of hope for the future, which helps us feel that the author himself is not a degenerate, for that is what all pessi- mists really are. And to make the vol- ume still more serviceable, it is well indexed. ‘Their Day in Court,” in spite of some errors slightly touched upon in these lines, is worth reading and worth as | keeping.

This is the theme of “The Call of the Heart” by L. N. Way. Tye first man in the case has a wife whom he is willing to divorce to wed Joan. But the girl realizes that, after 10 years of married life, ties are established that may not be broken though love flits away. She vetoes the divorce idea. Enter the man who loves and wishes to wed her and ig free to do so. She doesn’t love him, but he offers a way to end the scandal. She is about to accept him wnen the imp of the per- verse seizes her again and she flees to the first love. One day of illicit asso- ciation with him brings her to her senses. She discovers that she really loves the free man after all and she goes back and weds him. The book is adroitly written and keeps the reader guessing until the unexpected climax comes. (Dillingham.) Which Man Would You Choose. AURICE HEWLETT has been Mi quoted as saying that it should be enough for the public to know a man through his work, rather than to desire to have personal know!l- edge of him. ‘‘But wouldn’t you have liked to meet Shakspeare, or Milton, or Chaucer, or Byron?’ was asked by one who disagreed with him. ‘I don’t be- lieve,”’ he answered, hesitating, ‘‘that I work was greater than he was, but I would have loved to know Dante. There’s a man for you, s0 much greater, I imagine, than his work, tremendous as that was, I doubt if there was any Homer, and Socrates does not allure me to the point of desiring a personal in- terview; but George Herbert—he must have been a very sweet and Iikable character, and Sir Philip Sidney, I think I should like to have known him best of all—yes, Sir Philip Sidney. There was the man, the gentleman, chivalrous, courtly. Sir Walter Raleigh? I am not so keen about him, but oid Dr. John- 60n, yes!’’

Alfred Henry Lewis on Taft. Every writer on public matters has his own opinion about the purpose and the results of President Taft's recent swing around the circle. Alfred Henry Lewis presents his opinion in the De- cember issue of “Human Life.’’ It is, in brief, that the purpose was to build a Taft machine, a machine which should be strong enough te resist even Roose- Roosevelt does not admire Taft as he did a year ago, Lewis believes, and he also thinks that the friendship between them waned ‘greatly before the ex-President sailed for Africa. His be- lief, to be developed in a series of ar- ticles, is that the. ‘Ipterests,”” working ton, “jobbed’’ Taft at the outset of his term. “Traveling With Taft” is the first of these articles. HEIRS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON WANT PAY FOR LAND IN OHIO They Dig Up Ancient Grant to Land on Which Part of Cin- cinnati Stands. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The heirs of George Washington, the first President, seem determined to collect from the

which belonged to their distinguished ancestor. It is situated in Southern Ohio, the suburbs of Cincinnati being built on a portion of it. The property is more valuable pow than when Mr. Washington first obtained « patent for it. Senator Martin is spongor for a bill introduced by Senator Daniel which provides that the Government shal) set- tle with the descendants of the first President. It seems that Washington got title to the land out in Ohio after his re from the presidency. He per- his patent and was the real owner of it. When died nobody looked after the big farm along the Ohio River.

Sehutz Victory Having alreauy annou tion in interviews wi the Post-Dis- patch, however, 1 the councilmen remained steadfast and the victory for Councilman Schutz was relatively easy. To ease the minds of those council- men who wanted to avoid any seeming criticism of the conferees, the caucus gave them a vote of confidence and re- corded that sentiment in the resolution later adopted by the Council. Respect- ing the Counelil’s policy with referenca to the Terminal Association, the resolu- tion declared that “it is the sense of this body that no terms shall be accept- ed unless they include the full abolition of all arbitraries.”’ All members of the Council save Nor- vell were at the caueus. He was out of the city, but his approval of Mr. Schutz’s plan was given in an inter- view with a reporter for the Post-Dis- ‘patch last Wednesday. When the reso- lution pledging the Council was put to a vote, all 12 of the councilmen in the caucus, including Mr, Drew, answered affirmatively, Exeept the Terminal Association no individual, firm or corporation that nas sy. ed their posi- received a Mayor’s permit for any pur-’ pose ordinarily requiring the sanction of the Municipal Assembly need fear Mr. Schutz’s move to have such illegal permit. validated. Policy Will Be Protection. Mr. 8ch told a Post-Dispateh re- porter” rday that he believes the passage of) ordinances legalizing permits for all but. the Terminal Association will be little more than a formality. In the end, he says, the policy will be a pro- tection for those persons and corpora- tions that are enjoy ing such privileges. With the Terminal Association the case is different. It will be forced un- der pain of having a large amount of its trackage torn up to seek the Muni- cipal Assémbly’s authorization for the use of streets and alleys, and then will be confronted with the choice of either} getting ordinances involving the dis- continuance of the arbitraries or sur- rendering valuable facilities. It is Ikely that Mr. Schutz will ex- empt from the category of “Terminal tracks" all switches and connections that serve private industries. That ex- ception will prevent any hardship to big shippers who require facilities and are in no way responsible for the al- lered sins and shortcomings of the Ter- minal Association.

AGREES 10 DANCE NA MUSIC HALL Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. 1909, by Press Publishing Co. (New York World.) LONDON, Dec. i11.+Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson, so well known in the United States, has signed a contract at a salary of $1500 a week, to dance at Alfred Butt’s Palace Music Hall. Lady Constance is the daughter of the Earl of Cromartie. She will make her pro- fessional appearance on the stage in January, despite the pleading of her aristocratic relatives. The fact seems to be that her hus- band is hard up and she, a beautiful woman and graceful dancer, apprecia- tive of applause, is willing to contribute their mutual purse. The Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Con- stance’s aunt by marriage, invited her to dine at Stanford House a day or two ago. The Duchess asked two women and two men to dinner. On the day ap- pointed the Duchess was suffering from ae cold and her physician forbade her pesitively to leave her bedroom. So in her bedroom the dinner was served. After dinner Lady Constance gave some classical dances and followed them with her newest idealization which typi- fies a Zulu bride's joy when her lord and husband returns victorious from war. One of the men who saw the dance vows that it revealed power and pas- sion entirely barbaric in its intensity. It wrought Lady Constance’s audience to such a height of excitement that they demanded she repeat it. But after the dance she was so exhausted she could not rise from the couch on which she fiung herself.

Turnkeys Unarmed. “Are the turnkeys armed with billies and@ revolvers?” Chief Creecy asked. “No, sir,’ Crump replied. , Bennett testified that there was 50 much noise in the holdover caused by prisoners shouting and singing that he could not hear C'rump’s cries for help: “T was at the other end of the jail,” he said, “and although Crump was shouting at the top of his voice, I could not distinguish the sound from the similar noises made by the pris- oners, most of whom were drunk. I had no thought of any attack.”’ In discharging Crump, Col. Laird said the verdict was not meant as a reflec- tion against the turnkey’s honesty or integrity. ‘Your age handicaps you for such vork,’’ said the President. Crump is 72 years old. Decision was reserved in the case of Patrolman William Casey, charged with neglecting his beat. Mrs. Florence Dav- enport, who was wanted by the Com- missioners as a witness against the pa- trolman, did not appear. The evidence showed that Casey spent 15 minutes in a laundry when he should have been pa- troling his beat.

Lionberger, chairman of the board of directors of the reorganized American Credit Indemnity Co., discloses amazing conditions in the company under its former management. His personal experience supplements official re- ports of the insurance departments of New York and Massachusetts. Gross mismanagement and improper methods of conducting business were discovered by the insurance officers, According to their report, there were improper disbursements of funds and extravagant expenditures. Excessive dividenus were paid. Overdrafts to officers were allowed, one of $30,000 to a former president. The com- pany was credited with a surplus almost double the actual available amount and misleading re- ports were made to the insurance department. In consequence of these false dividends and misleading statements many persons were in- duced to purchase stock of the company at prices far in excess of its real value. Mr. Lionberger cites his own experience as typical of that of others. On the strength of high dividends, one of 43 per cent on the capital, he purchased stock at from $260 to $280 a share. The market quota- tion was as high as $300. The book value of the stock is about $35 a share. During 10 years, '|when the aggregate earnings were only $68,000, dividends to the amount of $800,000 were paid. Although operating under New York and Mas- sachusetts laws, this company is a St. Louis con- cern and has headquarters in this city. How was it possible for a company doing business in this State to use such methods and through excessive dividends and misleading statements to induce citizens to invest in its securities at a heavy loss? Have Missourians no protection from such meth- ods under our Jaws? What was the matter with the Insurance Department of this State? Does the reorganization of the company to the satisfaction of the insurance officers of New York and Massachusetts end the case? The reports of these officers and the statement of Mr.. Lionber- ger suggest further investigation to fix respon- sibility and to determine what further action should be taken to hold the responsible former officers to account for their methods. Has no criminal law of this State been violated? Can the. manager of an insurance corporation doing business in Missouri, through excessive dividends and false statements concerning its business, cause great injury to investors with impunity? Does the State’s duty end with exposure of im- proper methods and the reorganization of the’ company?

Cattle and hog prices are still breaking records, particularly hog prices. eee _: THE GREAT ADVENTURE. A Missouri woman who in addition to being a practicing lawyer was also a social leader in the clubs of her city, has just passed upon what the poets call “The Great Adventure,” in a spirit of genuine romance. Her physician informed her that she must undergo a surgical operation and that her chances for recovery were slight. The dread statement carried no fear to her heart nor any disturbance to the serenity of her mind. On the contrary she set about arranging her affairs and acquitting herself of all debts, duties and ob- ligations. Nothing escaped her memory. She re- called that she owed something to her friends for certain social] favors and obligations, and in the customary way she set about :epaying them. In- vitations were issued for a card party and recep- tion on the day preceding the operation. The at- tendance was large, the hostess was charming, the

‘guests had a delightful time and all went well. Next day the operation was performed and the end was death. There is in this an instance in ordinary life of that serenity of spirit in the face of death which one reads of in romance or in histories dealing with events of such great import that they strengthen and fortify the mind by the fervors of patriotic or religious exaltation. In storms at sea, in the stress of battles, in the face of tyrants or of mobs, it has been no uncommon thing for men and for women to face death calmly and to enter upon the great adventure with smiling faces. But rarely do we find such constancy when no uplifting power of a great cause is there to com- fort and sustain the soul. Here, then, we have a story of a more than ordinary interest. This is not a piece of fiction, born of a poetic imagination, nor an incident of a far-off land nor a long-gone age. It is a part of the life of today and of Mis- souri; an evidence that: “Tho’' in tales our fathers told and songs our mothers sung Tradition wears a snowy beard, romance is ever young.”

The story that a wireless telegraph operator at Detroit refused to answer a call from the opera- tor of a competing company and that in conse- quence lives were lost on a burning lake steamer suggests the thought that competition in this new industry must be regulated or abolished alto- gether. , | Modern opinion is practically unanimous that urban lighting, telephone service, water supply and perhaps passenger transportaticn should not be open to competition. Monopoly strictly regu- lated in the public interest is the rule of policy on which all thinking observers are agreed, with, municipal ownership as an alternative to be tuctantly adopted should regulation prove imprac- ticable. The shipping interests on ocean and lakes should not be exposed to the caprices of rival

+ ~~ we LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Dirty School Books. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I notice in your valuable paper of the 6th that one Mr. Siebert complains about the dirty school books. I would like to say that there is just one way for Mr. Siebert to keep his child from getting disorderly and that is for him to buy his own books, just as my father had to do: perhaps then he can find out who is getting these books so dirty. F. ANDREAS. Packed Cars Breed Disease. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. During the winter months our street cars are more unsanitary than the vilest tenement. During the rush hours in the morning and evening the cars are literal- ly packed with people and with absolutely no venti- lation. This not only causes the spread of disease, but is abhorrent to every sense of decency. I know vou favor all things which are for the People’s best interests and I do hope you will in the near future use the great power of your editorial columns to remedy this menace to health. R. T. FRANK. Playgoers the Best Censors. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A censorship of plays in St. Louis? Certainly not. All this silly talk and grandmotherly criticism of “things they have never seen’ by ministers is not the Great Master’s teaching of the Gospel. “All the world’s a stage,’ says Shakspeare, and a world with- out good and bad in it would be a pretty dull place to live in, and ministers would, like “‘Othello,’’ find their occupation gone. Let the parsons patronize the theater more and thus help to elevate its tone. The people who attend the plays should be the real censors. Support the good plays and condemn the bad. -After all, it is purely a case of supply and de- mand. For the sake of St. Louis’ future greatness as a city, save {t from some of its friends. A. Cc. M. What Do the Suburbanites Want? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Some time ago it was reported that certain political bosses appeared before the committee of freeholders and made the statement that the people of the coun- try prefer the borough system of government rather than the direct control of the city. I want to send out a warning to the people of the suburban towns and thickly populated districts surrounding the city that it is time for them to wake up and look into this matter before annexation takes place. The state- ment that the people want the borough system of government is not true, for the reason that the people have never been consulted in the matter. The past is laden with records that show plainly the ob- ject of a political boss’ move. Rabb! Harrison has correctly stated ‘‘that the political boss with his un- limited power is the master of masters.’’ The cry of the borough system as the wish of the people has a different significance than what it is supposed to convey. ENOUGH SAID. A Plan for Censorship. To the Editor of the Post-Tispatch. I heartily sustain Dr. Mauze’s position in regard to the undesirable plays presented in the theaters of this’ city. The stage should be an agency for good and should ,present object lessons in morality and right living. How many of such plays are present- ed in St. Louis in a year? I have practically ceased to attend the theater myself, as I do not enjoy the kind of plays offered, nor do I care to encburage them by either my presence or my contributions. I am interested in a number of boys in this city and I certainly would not want them to attend the aver- age play presented here. I. believe that a censorship eught to be establishea and a good plan would be something on the order of the Municipal: Voters’ League organized last fall. This organization should have representatives from the Board of Education, the Ministers’ Alliance, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., and such other or- ganizations as are interested in the moral uplift of our city. L. F. SMITH. St. Leo’s Lyceum. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn. A step in the right direction has been taken by Fa- ther Coffey of St. Leo’s Church, who is usually first In all things that are for the hetterment of his par- ishioners. His latest move is an organized stock company composed of the best of local talent under the name of St. Leo's Lyceum. This organization at regular intervals presents plays of a good class and instructive as well as amusing. In this way the mem- bers of his church see a good performance and at the same time assist the clturch. I speak from a spec- tator’s standpoint and can truthfully say these plays are put on in a very professional-like way. Would to God that other members of the clergy would follow Father Coffey’s example and insure their patrons a cican performance. Here's wishing Father Coffey unbounded success in this his Jatest effort for the bet- terment of humanity. A FRIEND OF THE CLEAN PLAY. The Independent (?) Citizen and Crowded Cars.

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS. Chauncey M. Depew in Leslie’s Weekly. Christmas means hope and its realiza- tion. The child grows eagerly expect- ant as the time approaches for the visit of Santa Claus. While this fiction re- mains unquestioned, the imagination opens new and wider worlds, and ideals become so much a part of the mind that the prosaic and commonplacé cat never crush them, Until the youth reaches manhood and _ independence, Christmas is the happiest day of the year. Its gifts and hearty good cheer impress family affection, parental thoughtfulness and brotherly love. The dullest and most irresponsive fathers and mothers are uplifted to a vision of higher life by the interchanges of souve- nirs and the merry meeting with chil- dren and grandchildren at the table and fireside. . Few can escape and all 2- joy the meaning of the festival, the les- sons it conveys and the inspiration it gives, and we enter upon a brighter fu- ture and a fuller appreciation of «he beneficence of the practice of fait, hope and charity. The loved snes wt. have crossed to the other side, he lived near and far who are still with us, the old homestead with its precious mero- ries, the old church whose. sacrel] as- sociations tie together childhood, ma turity and age, love, marriage and death; the schoolhouse where the. begin- nings of education were so painful, and the ever-increasing pleasures of the pur- suit of learning. through the high school, academy and college are recalled and recited, and there ts exquisite de- light in these oft-told tales, and (new experiences enliven this blessed anni- versary.

TAFT AND CUSTOMS FRAUDS. From the Kansas City Times. President Taft seems to be determined to break up the gang of customs out- laws. He has sustained Collector Loeb against the demands made by the Sugar Trust for his dismissal. He has in- dorsed the dismissal by Mr. Loeb of more than 70 officials of the Customs Department in New York. a

Representatives from nearly all of the big Eastern colleges, together with many former stars from Western schools accepted invitations to be pres- ent with the frank statement that they were seeking for suggestions for the re- vision of the rules of the American game. The Canadian game, like the American game, is a variation of English rugby. Fourteen men play on a side. The ball is put in play in a novel manner. Three players on each side form the scrim- mage and one of the side in possession of the ball puts it in play with his foot, never with his hands. Interference, as understood in this country, is absolutely barred in the Canadian game. Forward passes are barred, but there is much quick, clever passing a8 a man is about to be tackled ne a Ch edt cand. cae — allowed except in the ae ie ne oe been no bar to the annual Missouri A. r , an & man is ruled off for See se Ss s , rough playing no substitute is allowed. eres 3 : ; otisne ne aa eer st tLr's rove to JESUITS DECIDE FOOTBALL M.

Will Take More Than 12 Rounds | Says Johnson NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—That Jack Johnson expects to stick with James J. Jeffries for at least 12 rounds in the battle for the cham- pionship of the world, July 4, the colored champion has made known to his friends. “Anyone who says we are going to fake the fight on account of the moving pictures is on the wrong lay, that’s all,"’ was the way the champion introduced the subject. “Everybody I have met has asked me whether or not the iight will drag out ten or twelve rounds en account of the pictures. Well, the fight will last that long, but not because it has been fixed, or will be fixed that way. I am not fool- ish enough to think that I can knock out Jeffries in the first round or two. I am equally posi- tive that he can’t do it to me, and that is why I say that the fight won't be over inside of twelve rounds.” " ’ : . . “ot Skee eT 4 moe a + ests (SLY Ge Se ae i “ Eg on a 2 ba . 4 Beetes 2 es oeg lied eee veeeveenee ICY ROADS PREVENT ohare: M.

Mr. Murphy's table shows an interest- ing fact other than what the writer in- tended. It ghows that 1000 hostiers and 2000 “‘hookies’’ and ‘‘regulars’’ must sub- sist for 110 racing days and ® Sundays at somebody's expense. Furthermore, it shows that $1.900,000 must be raised. to cart away said horses, men and padded- cell candidates when the meet is over. Furthermore, it is to be supposed that the racing association is making enough money to pay off an average at least $7900 a day in purtées, and its operating expenses. 8 But Mr. Murphy omits to say at whose expense al] this is to take place. Will the bookies lose enough? Don’t make us laugh. WHl the association put up the amount? 8S-s-s-h! Who then?

Possibly because the focus of‘ spec- ‘ulative interest has shifted from the ‘Stock market to the cotton market, pos- sibly because a week of rather futile fluctuations had wearied the experts of the Stock .Exctiange, prices of stocks Moved little today, and showed no very Positive tendency. In general, they went up & fraction under the lead of Steel common, which rose to 91. This rise may or may not have been attributable to _-yesterday’s somewhat vague announce- Fae "ment that the 100,000 shares of Steel @ccumulated by a syndicate months ago, with a@ view to launching them on the Paris Bourse, had been; distributed in France. This is apparently an admission that i Bourse listing plan has been abandoned. One is naturally curious to know what class of French investors bought the ES, stock, and what they paid for it, and whether they have kept it or resold it * to New York. It is the end of a curious ~ episede—not ic-s so from the fact, of '_ which everyone is aware, that if the ° a ogee 3 p lan, h Government had not vetoed the if the Bourse had “listed steel,” cat if the price had thereupon risen to en Wall street would have been posi- tively convinced that the rich French _bourgeoise had been emptying his stock- ings of “rentes” and ‘Russians’ Tarn and had been buying all the and > Steél shares that kindly New York “would let him havé. “The stock market closed firm; for- eign ‘markets rather uncertain.

Her dying injunction to her daughten, Mrs. Anna ‘Miller, was to hold the homestead “against all comers. And Mrs. Miller “ays there will be no compromise with ‘he corporations. The pugnacity of Mns.

Pitved. in Home Since 1864. . When Giles Filley was about to build the Charfer' Oak foundry he did not worry much about the little 20x27 frame house in the middle of the north side pf the block. He supposed it would be an easy matter to buy the ppoperty when it was wanted. But it was not at ll easy. Mrs. Pierce had been living there since 1844, when her husband, John Pierce, a steamboat cook, bought the “ground and put up the house, and she did not want to move. Frank Filley . offered her $500 for her property. She spurned the offer. . There were further negotiations, Dut Mrs. Pierce held on to her property. The foundry was built , on three sides of her house, leaving it fin a niche.

They can’t run me out. The law wil protect me. No use to buy a home ‘if a corporation can come along and run a ‘body out of it. I don’t want anything excépt what's right, but the railroads can’t run over me; even if I am a woman.”’ So the railroad company changed its plans. Mrs. Pierce’s home is one of the pic- turesque sights of that part of the city. The sidewalk in front of it is always piled high with flotsam from the railroad yards and the levee, which she gathered and sold as_ kind- ling. The house is cluttered with odds and ends, the accumulations of years. The house is dilapidated. Her Father a White Man. The father of Mrs. Pierce was John Goings, one of the first white men to live with the Cherokee Indians. He

threw things down on the little frame house in the niche. She went to law with the big fourwiry company, and after that her rights were respected. "Mr. Giles Filley did not like it that T'sued him,’’ she once said, ‘and for five years we didn’t. speak.” + When the Frisco-Rock Island bought joined a roving band and took one of their women to be his wife. Mrs. Pierce was born on the prairies near Salt Lake, Utah. She was married when she was 17 years old to John Pierce. She was in her youth a woman of striking ap- pearance and even tn her old age re-

tained some of the comel! ness of former years. Twenty years ago she visited the Cherokee nation and for several months lived the trihal life, but returned to St. Louis. Mrs. Pierce died Tuesday night, from senility. Her funeral took place Satur- day morning from St. Patrick’s Catho- lic Church to Calvary Cemetery.

FP. simpie announce- venture has national debt of Honduras by a new loan has been published, but until the Post-Dispatch discovered to- day that the negotiations were under the auspices of the State Department, the American Government’s connection with the banking venture was unknown. Honduras has been borrowing money since about 1850, and of the hundred millions Of dollars thus received has probably had a chance to spend about ten millions. The average loan to a Central American state is on a basis or about ten per cent. The lender turns over about a hundr thousand dqi- lars for about a million dollars in bonds. The bonds of Honduras have been scattered through England, France and Germany. The bondholders were de- spairing of their investments, and as the bonds had been sold among the people, the clergymen’s wives of Great Britain and the widows and orphans of the continent, a protective committee was formed to liquidate This commit- tee had dealings with a London bank- ing house which negotiated a vsettle- reent with Honduras on the basis of 12 cents on the dollar. Just as Honduras was ready to turn over $12,000,000 in new bonds for the cancellation of the -bonds the United States interfered. State Department it was sxid today tha Horduras had made the cvertures for American offices in the loan, but other sources reveal the fact that it was the United States which took the first step. The State Department took the mat- ter up with the British Embassy and tsritish acquiescence to American bank- ers taking the loan was obtained. Since that time the Honduran Minister of Finance has been dealing with the Morgan firm through two commission- crs from Honduras. | tion of the oid At the
