NEGRO HERE TO SPEAK First of His Race to Reach the North Pole—He Was With Peary. Mett Henson, the first and only negro to reach the North Pole, who will lecture at the Odeon Monday night, has brought to St. Louis a new name for Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who claims the dis- tinction of having been the first white man there. It is the Eskimo ‘uglier word,”’ though it is not a “‘shorter’’ one. Here it ia: 4 “Shag-!a-hoo-ti.”’ Henson accents the word on the third syllable, and says there its no official way of spelling it. It has to be spelled the way it sounds; like the varying names of I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, or Etukishuk and Ahwelah, the Eski- mos, who, he says, applied it to Dr. Cook. “It is their word for. ‘liar,’ ’’ said Hen- son Monday to a Post-Dispatch report- er. “I was the first one who talked to I-took-a-shoo. and Ah-pe-lah after Dr. Cook left them. They never made any pretense, to me, of having been to, the pole, or even, as was nate at the time, ‘far north.’ “They said Cook told them not to say anything, and tat he toid of having been far north (‘ah-wa-ni’), but they said that instead they had een ‘tv- wa-ni’, or far south, and that Cook was a ‘shag-la-hoo-ti.’ Afterward they tola the story which oeenares in the form of an affidavit.” Wears Light Underwear. Henson. wore low-quarter shoes as he stepped-out in the snow from the home ‘oft his host, Richard D. Barrett, et 2821 Laclede avenue, to make a round of negro schools with a Reception Com- mittee. He said he had not found it necessary to put on heavy underwear auring the recent néar-zero weather. He ts far removed, in physical char- acteristics, from his laie chief, the broad-chested Commander Peary. He is rather under medium height, and his giossy hair is almost straight. He has a straightforward, courteous mariner, and talks much more fluently of life in the Far North than does either Peary or Cook.. Either of the latter has a way of answering any question asked, and then relapsing into silence. Henson, with a suggestion, talks for several minutes without stopping, and has to be interrupted for another question. ‘“T haven't seen the commander since the Hudson-Fulton celebration,”’ he said in answer to an inquiry, ‘“‘but I’ve heard from him two or three times. Not late- ly, for he stopped writing when he saw I wasn’t paying much attention to what he had written. Objected to Use of Pictures. . “He didn’t object to my lecturing, but he- did object to my using the photo- graphs I had taken myself, There was an understanding that everyone in the party who took pictures should sell him the ones he wanted, and when I had done that I didn’t see why he should mind my using the rest. So'I have been using them in my lectures, and will do so here.

CHASES ONE OF THEM

Other Two Pursue Him, Jab and Beat Him Until He Falls to Ground.

A hat pin, an umbrella. three pretty young women and a storm of sleet foiled 2 robber who attacked the giris after jumping out from an alley on Hodiamont avenue near street car loop. The jabs from the pin and jolts from the unibrelia wielded by Miss Hazel Mills sent the intruder slid- ing from the pavement to the street. The women escaped before he could re- cover from the attack. Miss Dollie Lindley, a stenographer for the Laclede Gas Light Co.; Miss Josevhine Schaffer of 1458 Temple place, and Miss Mills, @ stenographer for the P. M. Keiley Commission Co. of 903 North Fourth street, visited-a girl friend on Clara avenue Saturday night. They alighted from a Wellston car at the loop at ll p. m. on their way to Miss Mills’ home, where the trio were to stay all night. At an alley on Hodiamont avenue be- tween Cote Brilliante and Theodosia avenues, a man leaped out of a dark place and commanded, “‘‘Hands up,” as he threw back the umbrella Miss Mills Was carrying. It was steeting at the time of the attack and they did not see the man until they heard his command. Miss Lindley screamed and started to run. The man ran after her. Miss Schaffer pulled a pin from her hat and Miss Mills closed the umbrella and clutched it tightly. Together they ran through the sleet for haif a bleck fol- lowing the man and Miss Lindley. Fror that potnit Miss Mills told the following story of the events to a Post- Dispatch reporter: “The man grabbed Dollie by the arm and demanded her valuables. Josephine wore two diamond rings, but she had her gloves on and was trying to keep the robber from reaching that hand when we ran up. I hit the man a whack on the head with my umbrella, and Josephine gave him a jab with the hatpin. “The robber said something real joud, but I don’t want to tell you what it was. I hit him again with the umbrella and felt as if I had hit him hard enough to break it. Miss Shaffer was jabbing right and left with the hatpin, and the man seemed to be getting several in- juries. “As he released Dollie’s arm I smashed him again with the. umbrella and his feet slipped from under him. The blow was so hard that it sent him sliding from the pavement and he landed in the street. “Before the thug recovered we three girls ran to North Market street and to my home. We hardly got our breath those four blocks. We ran and slipped ali the way, but we lost the highway- man. “When the man first stopped us I was afraid he might have a pistol. But | supposed if. he had had a revoX¥er he would have used it, and when he did not try to shoot us it made us brave. Then we went after him.”’ Miss Mills describes the robber as a man of medium build, smooth-faced, and wore a siouch hat pulled down over his eyes. She says she believes he is a negro, but is not positive. The three young women are each 18 years old. Miss Lindley lives at 3023 Clark avenue. Miss Mills lives at 5965 North Market street, four blocks from the scene of the encounter. LEPER SOLDIER, WHO USED TWO CARLOADS OF MEDICINE, DIES

Only Victim of Dread Disease in Army Leaves $40,000 Leg- acy and Back Pay. SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 13.—Death re- moved perhaps the only case of leprosy in the United States Army today when First Sergeant C. O. Mix of the Seventy- second Company, Coast Artillery, died in his lonely cottage on the Fort Screven Reservation. The body will be buried with full military honors in the National Cemetery, in accordance with the last request of the dead soldier. Mix served in the Cuban campaign, where he contracted the disease. His father died recently, leaving him $40,000, but the money was of no avail to him. His pay as a soldier also had accumu- lated and he aes a small fortune on his death. In all, two car loads of medica) para- phernalia was shipped to Fort Screven for the treatment of Mix’s case,

ST. LOUIS BANK CLEARINGS SHOW

Figures for Current Year Esti- mated at $384,364,117 Over Those of 1908. —— ee The original ‘‘Drew question,’’ which related to comparative St. Louis and Kansas City bank clearings, loses much of its significance by the comparative showing for 1909 and 1908, which indi- cates that the St. Louis clearing house has made big gains’ in the past year and the past two years. With the clearings for the first 11 months of this year footed up, Hoxton,: manager of the St. clearing house, estimates the total at $3,459,170,876. This is crease of $884,364,117 over 1908, $243,561,549 over 1907. The clearings of the Kansas City banks for 1909, estimated on the same basis, will foot up $2,382,397,28f, according to a dispatch. This will be $531,661,116 increase over the 1908 record, and an increase of $209, - 006,000 more over 1907, the slump from 1907 to 1908 not having appeared in the Kansas City clearing record. The rapid growth in Kansas City’s bank clearings, which caused F. A. Drew, while running for the Council last spring, to ask its cause, is attrib- uted in Kansas City to the increase of the number of Southwestern banks which clear through Kansas City. 8t. Louls clearings represent chiefly the business of city banks, while a great part of the clearings of Kansas City from Kansas and, in the last few years, from the growing towns and cities of Oklahoma. VENGEFUL BURGLARS MUTILATE TROUSERS OF PATROLMAN HUG Thieves Remove ~ Hinges Door at His Home and Steal Jewelry. The robbery of the home of Patrolman Charles H.

Monday during the total river front at 12:46 p. destruction of a warehouse of the Corno Mills Co., at St. Louis avenue and Front street. The structure, & a two-story frame build- ing, was as combilstible as tinder, and the stores of oats, and dried « alfalfa which it contained added intensity to the flames. The blaze cast a greenish giare over the river and dozens of boats which were lying along the shores. It attract- ed bundreds of observers in St. Louis office buildings. The fire started from a short-circuited motor in an eleyator in the ¢ast end of the building. The elevator boy fled to safety, his cries warning the four other employes in the building. _The en- tire fire department of East St. Louis was summoned, but the firemen found the fiames so well advanced that they abandoned hopes of saving the warp- house and gave almost their whole ef- forts to preserving. adjoining structures.

MINER PREACHER CNORANT HE IS JO G0 ON STAGE Manager Fears to Tell Cherry Hero He’s to Appear With Dancers.

William H. Clelland, devout Scotch Presbyterian, who became the hero of the Cherry mine catastrophe through his prayers, preaching and psalm-sing- ing, was amazed, on his arrival in St. Louis Monday, to learn that he is ex- pected to exhibit himself at a theater as the star among an assortment of skirt dancers, side-show freaks and ne- gro minstrels. What he is pledged to perform was anxiously kept from him by the theat- rical management, with which he has signed a contract for six weeks at $100 a week. ‘‘Tom’’ Rankine, to whom the nickname of ‘“‘Dean of tne Pike,” at- tached itself during the World's Fair. conducted the negotiations. — “I had to. lie some to Clelland,” said Rankie, “and even then had to labor with him several days before I could overcome his religious scruples against a public exhibition. I had to tell him he would appear in a ‘reception hall,’ for I was afraid to use the words ‘stage’ or ‘theater. If he finds out the truth I am afraid his Covenanter’s austerity will lead him to overwhelm us with Presbyterian obloquy, and perhaps to refuse to perform his contract. “We are planning to try an octette of minstrels on him first. If he does not balk we will ventured the Russell sis- ters, refined vaudeville artists and danc- ers. If we can make him stand all this, wea may gather courage to introduce our collection of sideshow freaks. His wife and children are to appear with him on the stage, sing the psalms he sang down in the mine and, if we can persuade him to do so, repeat the sermons with which he cheered his companions to fight for their lives.’ Rankine refused to tell reporters ar what hotel the Clellands were lodged. At the New Barnum Hotel, 508 North Sixth street, a clerk dented that the family was there. They were found, however, in room 422. s Clelland’s family are tis wife, Mrs. Elien B. Clelland, Frances, 8 years old, and Willie, 5. They were all in rugged health, despite Rankine’s protest that at the mine. As the beginning of his diplomacy, Rankine bought the little rl_a doll Monday and the boy a toy Clelland himself was out see. morning. “I did not know the children and I were to appear with my husband,” was Pp exclamation of Mrs. Clel- = who is a pretty brunette, 27 years

BLOOD UUNDS CAIC SAFE IS BLOWA Yeggmen Who Use Explosive in Illinois Town Escape on Handcar.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. IOLA, Ill., Dec. 13.—Four men are un- der arrest and are held pending in- vestigation into the robbery of J. H. Vickrey &#Son’s store here early yes- terday morning. The men were cap- tured after they were trailed by blood- hounds, one of them being shot and probably fatally wounded when he re- fused to halt at the command of a posse in Xenia. The yeggmen entered the Vickrey store after midnight yesterday morning and blew open the big safe with dyna- mite. The first explosion attracted the attention of the night telephone oper- ator, one of the few persons awake in town at 2:30 a. m. She thought the noise Was a pistol shot all called several] subscribers on the telephone, telling them there was a row going on. While these persons and others who bad heard thé explosion were assem- bling several. explosions directed at- tention to the Vickrey store, from which four men were seen to emerge and hur- ry toward the railgad station. The crowd offered no resistance as there were no arms in the party. The yeggmen had taken a hand car from the section house near the depot and on this they escaped in the direction of Louisville, five miles south. Telegraph messages were sent to Louisville and officers started up the track, but found the abandoned hand car midway between the towns. Bloodhounds were brought from St. Elmo and at noon were put on the trail at the point where the car was aban- doned. The dogs followed the trail to Flora, a station south of Louisville, and there three strangers were arrested. They refused to give any account of themselves. The dogs then followed another trail to Xenia, where a fourth man was en- countered. He started to run and when he refused to obey a command to halt was shot and badly wounded. Though told that he is likely to die he refuses to give his name. The burglars got $200 from the safe in the Vickrey store. The damage done by the nitroglycerin they used ruined the safe and wrecked the store doing damage estimated at several hundred dollars. Two revelvers, a bunch of keys and a vial of nitroglycerin were found on the wounded man. 14 AFTER |

Henson Will Talk Tonight On His Dash With Peary to Pole Continued From Page Oue.

Peary again, for he doesn’t seem to in- tend to go North again, but if anybody with a well-organized expedition wants me, 1 might be persuaded to go either to the North or South Pole. I have been in allthe climates of the world The first time I went with Peary was to Central America.” Peary took Henson in 1888 from Navy Department headquarters in Washing- ton, where Henson, then 22 years old, was a messenger. The expedition on which the pole was reached was the eighth Henson had made as Peary’s aide, including the one to the tropics. Between two of his Polar journeys he worked as a Pullman porter, having at one time a southbound “run’”’ from St. Louis, While Henson is not very sure how he stands with Peary at present, he is an outspoken anti-Cookite. When he was asked whether Cook’s Eskimos could be brought to the United States, he said: “They could be, but I don’t think they ever will be. It couldn’t be done until next summer and Cook’s claims will blow up entirely before then.”’ ; Henson said he would do his best to give his hearers an idea of what the North Pole was actually like, a thing which, hearers of Peary and Cook have complained, those speakers have not dwelt on sufficiently. “But as to my own sensations,’’ he said, “about all I can tell is that I was giad it was over, and wondered whether we would get back.” DECLARES “BRADLEY LAND,” FOUND BY COOK, IS A MYTH WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Dr. J. W. Epencer ef the Canadian Geological Survey declares that “Bradly Land,”’ the mountainous island lying, according to Dr. Cook, in latitude 83 degrees north and longitude 102 west, is a myth. Concerning the land, which he named for his backer, John R. Bradley, Dr. Cook said in his description of his jour- ney: “The land, as we saw it, gave the im- pression of being two islands, but our observations were insufficient to \war- rant such an assertion. This land\ has an irregular mountain skyline and is perhaps 1800 feet nigh.” According to Dr. Spencer, the forma- tion of the Arctic basin precludes the possibility of land in the region named by Dr. Cook. He bases his conclusions upon investigations concerning the Arc- tic basin made by various explorers. “Dr. Cook invented Bradley Land and ‘faked’ the pictures of it that he dis- played on his return from the North,” was Dr. Spencer's declaration.

Thieves Descend From Cupo- la Which Runs to the Ele- vator Shaft. The store of Louis V. Hetzel, furrier, at 711 Locust’ street, was entered some time between Saturday night and early Menday morning and many valuable furs and dresses were taken. Mr. Hetzel told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he estimates his loss at about $2000. It may be more, however, but Mr. Hetzel says he will not know the exact amount until he makes an invoice of his goods. The burglars entered the store through an alley door on the west side of the establishment. After cutting a glass out of the door, presumably with a dia- mond, they went through a hallway that feeds the Hetzel store and two va- cant store rooms at 709 and 705 Locust which are being remodeled. They then went up on the roof at 705 and climbed down a ladder to the roof at 709 and entered the Hetzel store through a cu- pola to which rungs the elevator shaft. The burglars climbed down the sides of this shaft to the second floor, where they began to loot the place. Only Fine Goods Stolen. Costly furs and elegant white dresses were thrown around in heaps in the search for expensive goods. Mr. Hetzel believes the burglars were experts, as they took only valuable articles. Among the goods taken were a half dozen Russian fur coats worth from $8 to $150 each, one carécul fur coat, $125; ene long French seal coat. $150; two sets of mink furs, $100 a set: one Persian lamb set, $65; one Risher fur coat, $75; 12 silk gowns, $50 to $100 each, and a

WAITS ACTION ON TOBACCO 1AUST Combination to Cover Entire World to Regulate Produc- tion and Price. HOPE TO DODGE LAWS Plans Now Under Way Will Include Mutual Ownership of Mining Stocks.

By ne Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Formal merger of the Morgan-Guggenheim-Standard Oil copper properties to control the world’s copper market has been deferred, it was learned today, until after the Su- preme Court of the United States has passed on the Tobacco Trust. This de- cision, it was understood, was reached by the promoters after a consultation with the emissaries sent to Washington to “feel out’’ the administration on the subject. In the meanwhile, the work of weld- ing together the several interests is be- ing pushed along three different lines, no one of which, in the judgment of eminent lawyers, violates the anti-trust law. - First, the Guggenheim properties are to be ama‘gamated this week, it is said, Second, the Cole-Ryan concerns, in- cluding the United States and the Amal- gamated, are to be combined. After this the Haggin-Morgan mines at Cerro de Pasco, Peru, are to absorb the Gug- genheims Braden Copper Co. in that country. Incorporated in this third group, it is understood, are two prop- erties in Peru, controlled by South American or British capital. To Cover the Whole World. The vast scope of the property com- bination is shown in the fact that it is to take in not only the Rothschilds interests, which control the Rio Tin- ios, the great Spanish mine, and next to the Anaconda the biggest producer of copper in the world, but also the Tanganyika mines in Rhodesia and the Congo mining concessions brought un- der the control of the Guggenheims through Thomas F. Ryan, who, by his deal with King Leopold, practically eontrols the rubber production of that region. Simultaneously with the work of amal- gamating the individual interests is be- ing pushed a plan for an agreement among all the big copper producers in the world to regulate the production of the metal to conform to the consump- tion of it. This is to be a sort of ‘“‘gen- _tleman’s agreemen‘.” The plan Is that each company shall buy some of the other’s stocks, so that each shall be in- terested in the presperity of all a-« competition. be squelehed. It is believed that the suggestion to defer the formal merger emanated from Washington. It was expected that the Tobacce Trust case would be heard by the United States Supreme Court this month, but its importance is such that, it is said, it will not be taken up until the vacancy on the bench is filled.

RAYNER DEMARU TELAYA'S TRIAL ON MURDER CHARGE Maryland Senator Calls Presi- dent of Nicaragua Heart- less Desperado. a

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Speaking 10 his resolution offered in the Senate last Friday, authorizing the President of the United States to take all neces- sary steps to apprehend President Ze- laya of Nicaragua and bring him to trial on a charge of the murder of Groce and Cannon, the two American citizens re- cently executed in Nicaragua, Senator Rayner of Maryland today addressed the Senate at length. “What I am concefned in now,” said Senator Rayner, ‘is not the question of the belligerent rights of the revolu- tionists, or Im case of their success their recognition either as the de facto or the de jure government, but in the speedy apprehension and punishment of Zelaya. This desperado is everything that the Secretary of State says about him, and a great deal more. “If he were simply a highwayman, we might identify him; if he were sim- piy a tyrant who oppressed the people for the purpose of robbing them, we might particularize him; if he were a usurper who was only holding en to power so long as there was any money in the treasury to steal or any fur- ther territory that he could sack for private plunder, we could assign him @ proper place in the ranks of some of his predecessors, and if he were purely an assassin who regarded murder as a legitimate profession through which he

the act of a fiend, but was an insult to the honor of the Republic, and cannot remain unavenged. “This Government is a cowardly gov- ernment if it does not make an example of Zelaya before the eyes of the civilized world. This case will not admit of any trifling or concessions. If two American citizens—I care not who they were or what they were, citizens in high stand- ing as they have been reputed to be on soldiers of fertune—have been murdered by Zelaya, then he must be made to pay the penalty of his crime. Once spread before the American people the details of the execution, and our people will rise in arms and demand retribution.”’ J.

Auribey Schatzman and his wife, the latter a daughter of Joseph B. Widen, president of a commercial agency, was relaxed to permit a Sunday afternoon call by the husband at the Widen home, 4647 Berlin avenue, where the wife is staying with her little daughter. “It was like a children’s quarrel,’’ Mr. Widen said to a Post-Dispatch reporter, in telling of the novel experiment made by his daughter and her husband. ‘They quarreled, as children do, and separated for a time just to let their quarrel straighten itself out.

KING LEOPOLD I DYING: READY FUR} LAST SACRAMENT Unless Condition Improves in a Few Hours Doctor Will Perform Operation. BRUSSELS, Dec. 13.—King Leopold is dying. Reports from the palace are that his attendants fear he will not live un- til night. A consultation of attending physicians was held this"morning, when it was de- cided that if there was no change for the better by noon an operation would be performed. Following the consultation this bulle- tin was issued: “Although the night was passed calm- ly, the King’s condition is not improved. Unless an immediate change-occurs an operation will be necessary. Royal Chaplain Laeken remains at ths palace prepared to administer the last sacra- ments.”’ Long Interview About Will. The King slept intermittently last night. Dufing one period of wakeful- ness he sent for his private secretary, Baron Goffinet, who remained several moments in the chamber. Immediately following this morning's consultation the King sumomned his lawyer and a notary, with whom he had a prolonged interview, presumably rela- tive to his will. Subsequently he received the papai nuncio, who brought the benediction of the Holy Father. The Mayor of Brus- sels came to the castle as the bearer of the good wishes of the people of Brussels and to express the popular hope that Mis Majesty would recover, but the King was too tired to receive him, King Leopold‘s mind remains clear, and he insists on talking about affairs of state. This afternoon he summoned his youngest daughter, the Princess Clementine.

CATHOLIC CHURCH BUILT BY - BLECTRIC LIGHT IS DEDICATED Men Who Erected Edifice for St. Paul the Apostle Parish Praised by Archbishop. The spirit of pioneers was ascribed Sunday to the congregation of the Catholic parish of St. Paul the Apos- tle, which dedicated a pretty church built by electric light with the hands of the pastor and the men of the parish. Work was begun four months ago and has been continued each night in the week and on Saturday afternoons. The pastor is the Rev. Father Joseph H. Tettemer, and the church is located at Jennings and Julia avenues, Pinelawn. The finishing of the church !s suit- able to its sylvan surroundings. It is stained a forest green, with white settings, above a foundation of oon- crete. The pews are to be mission style and painted green. The Rev. Father P. W. Tallon of Holy Name Church compared the builders of the new church to Fa- thers Rosati and Andreis, who cut down trees to build the first church in the diocese, at Perryville. Archbishop Glennon blessed — the church and expressed delight in its novel beauty.

INVENTOR MAKES LONG FLIGHT A 20-MILE SPEED Worcester Manufacturer Tells of Trip in Aeroplane. to New York and Boston. NO STOP FOR REPAIRS Machine Coasts for 46 Min- utes While Mechanicians Are at Work. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WORCESTER, Mass., Dec. 13-—An ae- roplane flight from Worcester to New York thence to Boston and back to the starting place is told of by Wallace E. Tillinghast, a manufacturer, inventor and mechanical engineer of high repu- tation. c The aeroplane, which was designed and built by Tillinghast according to his statement, has a carrying capacity of 600 pounds, besides a sufficient amount of fuel to drive the flyer 300 miles. The speed attained at times was 120 miles an hour, the inventor as- serts. He says when near Fire Island on this trip, one of the cylinders of the machine ran irregularly, so the motor was stopped while the machine was at an altitude of 4000 feet. The aeroplane wa: then allowed to ‘scale’ for forty- six minutes, he says, while two me- chanics repaired it in midair, the engine being started again when the acroplane Was near enough to land to be seen by a number of the life-saving crew patrol- ing the beach. This trip Mr. Tillinghast says he made on the night of Sept. 8 last. The tw mechanics he took from the shop where his machine was stored, the location of which he has Kept secret. He says that when the machine was stopped over Fire Island the headlight and general outline of the aeroplane attracted the attention of the members of the life- saving crew patrolling the beach, and notice of his discovery by the life-saver appeared in a brief dispatch to a Boston paper a day or two after the trip. Entrance in Races Planned. The machine is to be brought to Worcester in February for demonstra- tion, and Mr. Tillinghast expects to en- ter it in the international races being arranged for the vicinity of Boston next summer. Where the machine was built, tested and will be kept \until brought to Wor- cester Mr. Tillinghast refuses to say. He says that it is within @ miles of Wor- cester, in a sparsely inhabited territory, 14 miles from a railroad station. He reports that ... 1s the fourth machine he has built, all successful, and the second at this work shop. The other two were built in sparsely inhabited places tn the West. Tillinghast says that he has. made more than 100 successful trips; of which 18 have Been in his perfected machine. In describing the esropigoe, he said: “Tt is of the monoplame type, with a spread of 72 feet, a weight of 1550 pounds and furnished with.a i20-horse- power gasoline engine, made under my own direction and specifications. It differs from others in the spread of the canvas, the spread plane and in stability features. Special attention is given in making it adaptable for high speed. “Other distinguishing features are that it cannot be, capsized, is easily controlled and the occupants ride on the body of the machine instead of with the body of the machine behind them. The headlight is made by the use of acetylene gas generated on the machine.”’ Regarding the speed of the machine, if driven at its best, and the highest alti- tude reached, Tillinghast does not de- sire to give out exact information, say- int he wishes te enter the international races in a fair trial and without fivals krowing what his machine can do. —-*--- EXPERTS EXAMINE DATA AND CONFIRM STORY OF THE TRIP BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 13.—Wallace E. Tillinghast, who is quoted as saying that he had built am aeroplane, in which trips have been made to New York and Boston, is a reputable citizen and has never been regarded as a man who would seek sensat'onal notoriety. He is a thorough mechanic, and has in- vented numerous devices for use on steam engines. Im response to a tele- phone call tonight ‘Cillinghast said that he had built an airship and had been to New York with it, and that Sept. 8 was he date on which he made one of his trips. The story of his long-distance aero- plane recalls many reports which came from various points in Connecticut last fall about mysterious lights being seen passing rapidly over the state at great heights and at that time there were rumors that someone had been flying about in an aeroplane. The data supplied by Tillinghast was today examined by Prof. E. C. Pick- ering and Prof. si. Helm Clayton of Harvard University. They said they could find no flaw, and that they were

KILLS HIMSELF IN TRAIN AS PASSENGERS LOOK ON Wife Tries to Prevent Husband From Using Razor, but Fails. DOWNINGTON, Pa, Dec. 13.—With two score passengers looking on in hor- ror, John Miller of Pittsburg, superin- tendent of the Mellon National Bank Building, cut his throat in a day coach of a train yesterday and died. Miller was in good circumstances. The directors of the bank told him to take a vacation, as his health was bad, and he went to Atlantic City. ‘It is sup- posed he became despondent over fail- ing to recover. Miller’s wife was with him at the time. She looked up and saw him take a razor from his suitcase and open it. With a scream she sprang up and tried to seize the weapon, but the man shook her off and with a powerful stroke, cut his throat. With the frantic woman still trying to seize the weapon, he shifted the razor to his left hand and again swept the blade across his throat. In the car there was a momentary panic during which women fainted, while others rushed for the doors. Trainmen and cooler passengers hur- ried to the assistance of the wounded man, and with their handkerchiefs tried to stop the flow of blood. Their efforts were unavalling, and when the train reached nere Miller was dead.

| EARTH’S NEWEST NEIGHBOR ONLY 56,000,000 MILES AWAY So Diaphanous Is Comet That Dis- coverer Sees Star Through Its Body. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Zacheus Dan- fel, the Princeton man who discovered a new comet Dec. 6, has determined these facts relating to it: It is 66,000,000 miles distant from the earth. It is distant from the sun 146,000,000 miles and it is in dlameter three times as large as the earth. : “Of. course,’’ said Mr. Daniel at Prince- ton last night, “while the new comet ap- pears about three times as large as the earth, it doesn’t contain one-thousandth part of the solids which the earth does. Gases and vapors appear to make up a large part of it. Yet it seems to have a star-like nucleus, “A remarkable thing about {t was that on the night I saw it I could distinguish a star many millions of miles further away shining right through the comet. It moved very slowly, at the rate of ohly one degre> of arc a day.” This is*the third comet discovered by Mr. Daniel, wno was graduated in 1908 and holds the fellowship in astronomy founded by Mrs. William Thaw: MONKEYS USED TO CHECK LODGING HOUSE SUICIDES Simians Raise an Uproar That Will Awaken ‘Anyone at Smell of Gas. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—“A pet monkey that I shipped up to WNinety-seventh street this morning was bound on a most unusual mission for a monkey,”’ said a Sixth avenue animal dealer. ‘He was bought by a woman who runs a furnished room house in which three

‘| persons have killed themselves with gas recently. Those suicides have got on her nerves. “Now she is going to try the same her friends. They too keep roomers Also they keep monkeys. There have been several attempts at suicide in their houses, but they have always been frustrated by the monkeys, who smelled the gas and set up such a chattering that they woke everybody up. ‘Monkeys are extremely sensitive to the odor of gas. -This customer of mine hopes to utilize hers as a new kind of life preserver.” 4 _ Xmas.

THE DAYS RULE AT SUNDAY POP" And Now Come the Great “Symphony Pair’ Concerts, - With Bloomfield-Zeisler. concert by the Symphony Orches- tra at the Odeon was one of the most pleasing of the season, alike for the attractiveness of its program num- bers and for their admirable presenta- tion by the players under Mr. Zach's conductorship. Mr. Zach’s own “Oriental March” was the program’s opening offering,.and it scored one of the big successes of the day. It is finely truthful to its theme, full of picturesque Far Eastern atmos- phere, and notable for its effective em- ployment of drums, cymbals, strings and winds. The overture to Nicolai’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” was played with excellent spirit. Rubinstein's lovely ‘‘Melody in F”’ keenly delighted its hearers, as also did the two Grieg com- positions for string orchestra, ‘Heart Wounds” and “Spring,” and the ballet music from Gounod’s ‘‘Faust” was clev- erfy played. Inevitably, of course, the fourth “Hun- garian Rhapsody’’ of Liszt scored one of the triumphs of the afternoon, being delightfully presented, and the pro- gram’s closing number, Waldteufel’s “Pomone” waltz, was brilliantly me- lodious. The encore numbers included a Helinisberger waltz, a gavotte by Ghys, and an exquisite Bocherini min- uet. Mme. Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler, the world-famous pianist, will be the soloist ai the pair of symphony concerts next Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, being heard in the great Moskowski “Concerto in E Major, Op. 69,” and the orchestral numbers to be presented are the overture to Berlioz’s “King Lear”’ (first time); the Jan Sibelius “Symphony No. 1 in E Minor” (first time), and Em- manuel Chabrier’s “Espana’’ rhapsody for orchestra. The program for the sixth popular concert by the Symphony Orchestra at the Odeon next Sunday afternoon in- cludes Victor Herbert’s ‘March of Toys,” the overture to Thomas’ ‘*Ray- mond,” Zach’s ‘‘Reverie,’”’ two Norwe- gian dances by Grieg, a selection from Puccini’s ‘“‘La Boheme,” “Sous les Til- leuls,”” from Massenet’s ‘Scenes Al- saciennes, and Zeller’s “Grubenlichter” waltz. SCIENTIST FINDS WOMEN ARE LESS SENSITIVE THAN MEN AND MINUS EMOTION New Discovery Made by Zoological Expert at Harvard. University. Special to the Post-Dispatch, ; BOSTON, Mass.., Dec. (13.—That women are less sensitive than men and that the daintiest woman has no more emotional sense in the purely scientific view than her pet dog or her Persian cat are the very latest suppositions advanced by Prof. George Howard Parker, Harvard's zoologist and expert on the anatomy and physiology of sense organs. If Prof. Parker’s deductions are accepted finally the time honored be- lief in the finer emotions of woman Y ESTERDAY afternoon’s popular

may be destroyed. . The. suffragette may no longer be called “womanly.” This new theory of Prof. Parker, it is declared. is destined to create a revolution in the accepted beliefs of scientists and laymen alike, for at the bottom of it lies the scientists contention that there are really many more han the traditional five senses. Regarding the difference in sense de- velopment of man and woman Prof. Parker says: “Who ever heard of a woman tea taster? Who ever heard of a woman wine taster? In these occupations, where the most acute senses are re- quired we find only men. “As for the question whether wom- an has more highly developed sense than man I think that she has not. In fact, I think if the matter could be definitely decided it‘would be found that man has more highly Ae- veloped sense, more accurately de- veloped senses.” Is “Shirt and Collar” Correct?

Today in the city is very much like yesterday—tomorrow ; Sakis ou no A e of anything different. It is a daily grind for man, woman and child. Butin the Ozarks it is different—today there are some new chicks just out the shells—tomorrow the radishes may be up. There’s a new born calf in the barn and a robin has built a nest in the tree just outside the kitchen window. Its such fun to see the chickens scramble for the feed you scatterthem. There’s a silent ‘thank you” in the cows gentle eyes when you milk her, and even the pigs grunt of satisfaction is pleasant to hear. In the Spring the blossoms and new budding leaves beautify every- thing. Summer brings the fulness of Nature's joys and Autumn is gorgeous in its many hued foliage. Winter brings none of the cheerless days of snow and ice, for the Ozarks have a genial climate—Summer and Winter. The beautiful Ozarks with their wooded slopes and clear flowing streams, lie almost at the very doors of St. Louis, Kansas City and Memphis. They are ideally located and admirably adapted, by nature, tobe the dairy, orchard, poultry yard, vegetable garden and berry patch of these great consuming markets. All such products Can be produced in the Ozarks cheaper than elsewhere, which means more profit for the farmer. In a few years the Ozarks will be dotted with thousands of prosperous dairy and supply farms, drawn there from the high priced prairie lands, by the /ow price of the land and the certainty of /arge profits from a small investment. Why don’t you take your family to live in the beautifr ° Ozarks. Get a small place, with attractive sur- roundings and near « good school. ‘There are thousands of such places. You will only need a few acres which you can buy for as little as $5 an acre—up to $25. Fora small amount more you can build a comfortable little cottage that will seem like a. palace beside the crowded city dwell ling with its brick and mortar outlook. | Get a few pigs and chickens and some cows—set out some fruit trees and then apply yourself to making that little place work and e¢ar# for you. You will be surprised at the profit a few acres will produce under proper care. A year of such life will put dollars into your pocket—health into your body and joy into your life. The fear of some day having to relinquish your job to a younger man will have vanished, for you are boss and nature is always willing to work ~ for you. The Frisco Lines maintain a department of agriculture and horticulture under the direction of a competent and practical man, whose duty it is to teach those desiring knowledge, the best and most profitable ways to operate a farm. You can secure a small place in the Ozarks with the full assugance that any help you need on “how to run it” will be cheerfully ’ furnished. ) The first step is to procure more information about the Ozarks, and what you can do there. Send your name and address and you will receive attractive booklets full of plain facts, elaborately illustrated. ‘They will prove profitable reading.and will suggest other sources of information you will want to follow. If you will call at our office Mr. S. A. Hughes, General Immigration Agent, will be glad to give you personal information that will be helpful to you. Alex.

HE WILL NOT RESIGN Insurgents Hold Conference and Appoint Two Commit- tees to Begin Fight. By Wlre pro) the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18—“‘At the be- ginning of the next Congress Speaker Cannon will be 7 years old. He is tired of the speakership and his ambition has been gratified. He has been willing to quit the chair for some time and I doubt if he is anxious to be elected to Congress for another term.” This statement was made by one of Speaker Cannon's closest frionds in the House, @ man who hag stood by him ever. since coming to Congress. He said the Speaker is tired of the attacks being made on him; that he is dis- pleased with the newspapers which are criticising him constantly and that he is tired of being made the butt of all the criticism of the Republican party. This friend laughs at the idea that the Speaker will resign. He declares that “Uncle Joe” will not quit the speakership during this Congress, but will endeavor to show the country that the attack on the organization of the House is idle and that the House organ- ization is the Republican organization. When vindicated he will be. perfectly willing to retire. Kighteen Years in Congress. Speaker Cannon has served 18 terms in Congress, being defeated only once— in the Fifthy-third Congress, when there was a Democratic landslide throughout the country. :He has been Speaker four terms, a record equaled only by An- drew Stevenson of Virginia, Hts service as Speaker has not been as long as that of Henry Clay of Kentucky, but more continuous, ‘aly Already talk of a successor to Speaker Cannon is heard. It is conceded that no out and out Cannon Conservative can win, and that no Western man will be picked for the place. Republican leader Payne of New York would not satisfy the insurgents. A compromise candidate for the West could be found i: Judge Walter Smith of Iowa, a regular, who would be ac- ceptable to many insurgents, who think he would shift his views somewhat if he became Speaker. He got severa! in- surgent votes against Cannon at the be- ginning of this Congress. In the same class is James A. Tawney of Minne- sota. Representative Weeks of Massa- chusetts is gtrongiy favored and Edwin Denby of Michigen could pick ‘up some caucus votes. | v Insurgents to Issue Statement. But just at present the insurgents are more concerned in their fight to outwit Speaker Cannon. They have banded to- gether to defend themselves from at- tack. The charge that they are opposed to the President's policies is being made and to state their position they will is- sue a broadside soon which will “take the hide off’’ ‘“‘Uncle Joe.” The insur- gents declare that they are Taft Re- publicans, but will be hanged before they will become Aldrich-Cannon Re- publicans., After a long conference the insurgents, 19 of whom were present, decided to appoint two comnsittees to take the first insurrectionary steps of the second ses- sion of Congress::.Qne committee of five will prepare the statement to be} given to the country and the other com- mittee will confer with the Democratic leaders to discover just what Demo- cratic strength they can depend on in the next assault on the Cannon rules. They. believe they can muster 50 Re- publican insurgent votes. ‘The insurgents who. attended the meeting were Hubbard, Haugen, Woods, Pickett, Kendall and Good of Iowa, Hinshaw and Norris of Nebraska, Mur- dock and Madison of Kansas, Lenroot, Cary, Cooper and Nelson of Wisconsin, Poindexter of Washington, Gronna of North Dakota, Hayes of California, Lovering of Massachusetts and Lind- bergh of Minnesota. Others who are depended on to in- dorse the action taken are: Kopp, Esch and Morse of Wisconsin, Davis, Nye, Volstead and Steenerson of Min- nesota, Fowler of New Jersey, Gardner of Massachuvetts and Kinkaid of Ne- braska.

PLAYGROUND FOR RICH Freeholder Tells Civic Cgue Facilities for Poor Should Be. Made. Argument in the Post-. Dispatch for Art Gallery Path. FOR THE RICH ONLY?® HY are not walks through the W park provided for the thous- ands of persons who go to the Art Museum by street cars? There are broad, smooth, oiled or sprinkled ‘roadways for vehicles, but no walk from the car lines to the Museum for / pedestrians: They must walk on the ‘oiled vehicle roadway, in imminent danger of being run down by rushing | Autos and prancing horses, or tramp across new-made fields which are muddy in wet and dusty in dry weather. T > Art Museum is for all the people, not for the rich’ alone. Its chief purpose is the in- struction and entertainment of the Masses of citizens, most of whim go ' to the park by street car. It is inac- cessible enough on account of its dis- tance from car lines. To make it still more inaccessible by compelling people to brave the rushing vehicles _ or take to the stubble field is rotten policy on the part or the Park Com- missioner. Does he think the Art ‘Muséum is for ‘the wealthy only?— Post-Dispatch editorial published on Nov. 2 last. : Only Evening Paper in. 1 St. Louis With the Associated Press News Service. PAGES 9—16. ST.

Lehmann, chair- ™ man of the Board of Freeholders, that _ Forest Park should be made more acces- _ gible to the people. Mr. Lehmann made ‘this suggestion at the Civic League din- ner Saturday and said that Forest Park | is too much for the benefit of the rich ie ‘who ride in automobiles and vehicles. At Mr. Scanian's home it was said he i. was sick in hed ‘and was not able to Pie consider now the: ‘suggestions made by Mr. Lehmann. - ‘The “Post-Dispateh_ oh Nov. 29 pub- ished an @ditorial’ advocating park - ghanges” that. would. make more play- ground facilities available for general ¥ ; Compares, Detrot; Park, Mr. Lehmann, elaborating the views fs ditpressed ‘at the Civic League dinner, said the park should be made more ac- essible to the peopie by footpaths and ways. ‘and that obetter facilities “be provided for reaching the Art a “This might ‘be done by park. wagons street railways," said Mr. Lehmann, : that is a.detail to be worked out by the engineers and architects.

In my it is the duty of the Park Commissioner to treat the park so as to bring the people of the city back to nature. “If the people are not encouraged to do more walking the next generation will be -born without legs. It is the duty of the city to make its parks as accessible to the people as _ possible. paths for pedestrians in the east end of the park, which is nearest to the city. “There ought to be two good special- ly educated landscape gardeners in charge of Forest Park to make it .at- tractive to the people. We have ‘io landscaps gardeners here.., “T do not know of anyone in St. Louis competent to act as assistant landscape gardener to Mr.’ Kessler, who, after all, is merely a consulting landscape en- gineer for St. Louis, with his principal offices in Kansas City. We ought to bring some good men here fram the East or Europe to beautify the park. ‘“‘This work cannot be done in the of- fces. It must be done in the parks. The west end of Forest Park ought to have been replanted in trees three years ago. It is all nonsense to spend two or three years making plans in an office.” “The American engineer,’ he contin- ued, “is simply an utilitarian, while the landscape gardner is an artist. The en- gineer simply wants to build a bridge or do his other work at the least possi- ble cost, while the real landscape gar- dener concerns himself more with the art of the thing than its expense. No part of Forest Park has been developed as it should be. It is time for us to de- vise plans for getting greater good out of the park.” TONS OF FROST FISH DRIVEN ASHORE; USED FOR FERTILIZER Supply of Sea Residents Greater “Than Farmers Are Able to Take to Market. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Frost fish by the ton came ashore at Long Beach, L. 1, Saturday evening and early yesterday, and all day scores of farmers were carrying them away. Several times during the winter schools of these fish are cast on the beach, but it is long since there has been such a number as on Saturday night. Along the surf line when dawn broke yesterday morning for five miles there stretched almost a solid mass of silvery fish. Frost fish is the Long Island name for what is ‘known elsewhere as. the whiting. The fish is one of the best eating fishes j}of the winter, but when so many come Tashore as Gid Saturday night the na- tives find it impossible to market the haul and use the fish instead to en- rich their market gardens. #/BUSH, VINEYARD EXPERT, DIES Raiph Bush, secretary of the William 4 |te ABRION fF: where AND FAMILY There ought to be raadways and foot. 4 icles Declares They Will Operate a ‘Bus Service in Page Heights if the Captain Does Not Capitulate. Cru ROBERT McCULLOCH ver- sus the suffragette! Hitherto the Captain has battled with men. He has had ne experience with the foe which drove English Cabi- net Ministers in ignominious rout into hiding, and which imbued weak women with fortitude to suffer imprisonment and starvation for their principles. He has not known the shock of having a newly hired cook in his home suddenly reveal herself as Mrs. Pankhurst. and menace him with indigestion and hat- pins if he didn’t surrender to her de- mands. But now Capt. McCulloch, supposed to be an immovable body, is to be con- fronted with the suffragette known to /be an irresistable force. Miss Rose Mc- Mahon, 19 years old, and petite, boasting her ardor as a suffragette and her ad- miration for the metheds of her ‘embat- tled sisters across the water, has en- tered the lists against the president of the United Railways, in championship of better street car facilities for the Page Avenue Heights district in St. Louis County. They Hope to Organize Five Hundred Women. She is resolutely supported by her sis- ter, Miss l stelle McMahon, Miss Nellie Crilly an’? Mrs. Marion F. Wald, all res- idents of the suburb, and hopes to or- ganize 500 women of the section into a belligerent regiment. The men of the district have formed the Page Avenue Improvement Associa- tion to remedy, if possible; the defi- ciencies of the Midland branch of the Lnited Railways. This line, running from Hodiamont avenue to Vinita Park, taps a district of 3000 residents. Nev- ertheless, a solitary street car, long fallen into dotage, plies back and forth over it at half-hour intervals, with such creakings, rattlings and shiverings of t! ibers that it seems every trip will be its last.

So far, thé men have had little suc- cess. They have interviewed Capt. Mc- Culloch, who dismissed them with the remark that he was “rufining the Mid- land line as a compliment to their dis- trict,”” although warned by them that they would establish a bus or automo- bile line if he did not put on more cars and grant transfer privileges from the Midland line to Hodiamont and Creve Coeur cars. “TIT shall call upon Capt. McCulloch with a committee of women,” said Miss McMahon with a toss of her brown head and a flash of blue eyes. “He won't be rid of us as aasily as he was of the men. We will force him to make some concessions, anyhow. “But if he does not yield as much as we think he should, I shall be in favor of. having the women organize the bus line and operate it themselves. Women driving omnibuses because the United Railways was too stingy to supply street car service ought +o make even that corporatidn blush. “But before we go to the extreme of starting the bus line, I am in favor of trying on Capt. McCulloch all the strategems which have been immortal- ized by English suffragettes in their war for the ballot. We can make his |Hfe as miserable as our sisters in Lon- ‘don made that of Mr. Asquith. His own office can be made too hot for him, and we can keep him on the run. VA might take that dinky car away from the motorman and conductor and run it ourselves We'd see if the round trip couldn’t be made {| .ats than a half hour. And if we saw women running for the car we wouldn't give ‘two bells’ just as they neared the step, and leave them to wait a half. hour or walk a couple of miles to their homes. This is what Capt. Mce- Culloch’s employes do on the Midland line.”’ New Tuberculosis Cure Based on Medicine — Did it ever occur to yon that the reason medical doctors have so little success in cur- ing Tuberculcsis, is because they really é@o not pratice medicine! To say that a specific exists for the cure of Consumption is perhaps too strong a state- ment, but in Eckman’s Alterative, we have a medicine that has been the means of saving many a life to years of usefulness and in permanently curing a large number of Con- sumptives. | Telling every sufferer to gorge himself with eggs and milk is apparently the limit of modern treatment. Certainly » person afflicted with a wasting disease should be well fed with wholesome nourishing food; but frequently raw eggs in quentities, canse a digestive breakdown, and then no food nourishes. As for milk, a very good food for many; but a producer of biliousness for Any diet that keeps a Consumptive well nourished is the right one, but what is going sk cure the Patient?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Horace Har- mon Lurton of Tennessee was named for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the -Inited States by President Taft: Judge Lurton, who served on the bench with Mr. Taft in the Federal Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, will succeed the late Justice Rufus W. keckham. Frederick N., among the distinguished jurists tioned for the honor. Judge Lurton was born in Campbell County, Kentucky, Feb. 26, 1844, the son of Lycurgus L. and Sarah Ana Harmon Lurton, who were natives of the Blue- grass State. Judge Lurton’s father years ago was a practicing physician, but in 1870 he left medicine for clerics and was ordained a priest in the Ptot- estant Episcopal church. Judge Lurton’s early education was re- ceived from private instructors, but in 18%9 he went to Chicago and entered Douglas University, later the Univer- sity of Chicaga. The Vivil War brought a halt to the completion of his collegiate training, for, at the first bugle biast, young Lurton hurried South and of- fered his services. He was enlisted in the Thirty-fifth Tennessee, command- ed by Col, B. J. Hill, and was made sergeant-major. In February, 1862, Maj. Lurton was dis- charged on account of ill health, but he was not idle long, as he returned in time to take part in the battle of Fort Donelson, where he was taken prisaner and confined in Camp Chase. He man- aged to escape in the spring of 1862, and enlisted in the Thiftd Kentucky Cavyal- ry, with which he served until July: 1863, when he was again captured, this time in Ohio on Morgan’s famous raid {m Prison for Two Years. Judge Lurton was carefully guarded and remained in prison until the end of the war, when he entered the law department of Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tenn., and was graduated in February,. 1867, and entered at once into practice at Clarksville, Tenn., in part- nership with Gustavus A. Henry, a kinsman of Patrick Henry. Later Judge Lurton was a partner of James E. Bai- ley, who subsequently was elected to the United States Senate. In January, 1875, Judge Lurton was appointed by Gov. Porter chancellor of the sixth chancery division of Tennes- see to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Charles G. Smith. at the expiration of the term of appoint- ment in 1876 he was elected to the office without oposition, but in 1878 he re- signed. From 1878 to. 1886 ne practiced law at Clarksville in partnership with Charles G. Smith, having served as the first president of the Farmers and Me- chanics’ National Bank and alsy ac- quired wide reputation as a financier. Chief Justice of Tennessee. In 1886 he was elected a justice of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, and in January, 1893, by vote of his colleagues, became chief justice In place of Peter Turney, who was governor-elect of Ten. nessee. Two months later he was ap- pointed by President Cleveland circyjt judge of the Sixth United States circuit to succeed Howeil E. Jackson, who had been elevated to the United States sy. preme bench. Judge Lurton is an Episcopalian, was for many years a vestryman in Trinity Church, Clarksville, Tenn., and, since 1883, has been a trustee of the Uni- versity of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., from which university he received the degree of doctor of civil laws. He mar. ried in September, 1867, Miss Mary Frances, daughter of Dr. Benjamin Franklin Owen of Wilsen County, Ten- nessee, and stepdaughter of Prof. James M. Safford, geologist of Tennessee. They were the parents of four chil- dren, of whom the two eldest, Catherine Howard and Leon Owen, died, and two, Mary Lurton Vandeventer, wife of Hor- ace Vandeventer of Knoxville, Tenn., and Horace Harmon Lurton Jr., are living.

The carriage was one of six contain- ing members of the Carlisle Club, 178 Division street, who were making the rounds of other social clubs advertising a dance, Mason was the driver. ‘The carriage wad demolished and one of the horses was carried some distance on the cow catcher and killed. Engineer McDonald brought the train to a stop within 75 yards of the scene of the accident and the train crew assisted in picking up the injured men and in calling police to take care of them. The accident ig ascribed to lack or suf- ficient watchmen and of sufficient lights at the crossing. — George B. Stroup; Assistant Street Commissioner, says the crossing was well guarded whetf« he passed over it Saturday in his automobile. There was a tower man at each side and three men on the ground. He was stopped twice by flagmen before he cleared the tracks. Street Commissioner Travilla says two inspectors are assigned to the grade crossings, whose business it is to see that the crossings are fully safeguard- ed. He says that with but few excep- tions, and these crossings that are lit- tle used, there are watchmen at all the crossings within the: city. : Division ‘street? 228.

A eevent fight to. find and recover her son hag been lost by Maude Fields, who lived at 1419A Laurel avenue, according. to press dispatches from Bellingham, Wash. The Supreme Court of Washing- ton has decided againht Miss Fields in her habeas corpus suit to take the boy from Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Deming, who adopted him in St. Louls when he was a few days old. 3 : The Demings, according to the dis patches, are wealthy, and the Court de- cided they were better able to care for the boy than its mother. The fact that Miss Fields ed a release and aban- doned the boy in the’ hospital in fr. Louls, and that she is a seamstress, compelled to earn her living,.and would be unable to give the child a;name were} the principal points against ber. In November last year the lower court at Bellingham, Wash., decided the cass against Miss Fields, but she appealed to the Supreme Court in the hope of winning her boy. Miss Fields spent 12 years searching for the boy after he was adopted by the Demings. She was refused infor- mation at the hospital as to the identity of the child’s foster parents, but she employed detectives to aid her and found him in Washington, where he was re- ceiving excellent care. She was unable to induce Mr. and, Mrs. Deming to give up the boy, and then took the controversy to the courts. Miss} Fields was left an orphan at the age of 14. She formerly lived in Charleston, Mo. When she was ® years old she came to St. Louls and the baby was born in a hospital. She went away for three weeks, and upon her return she as told the baby had been adopted and taken away. een ee eS - eee ae SEVENTH AND FRANKLIN. AV.

SZ7NOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTER. Gol. Todhunter organizes a big public recep- tion for his friend, Col. ‘‘Bill’’ Strickland, returning to his Ninevah home from St. Louis, after uannourcing his candidacy for the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor of Missouri. The ceremonies are interrupted by a counter- demo stration of the followers of Steplien K. Yancey, a rival candidate. Col. Todhunter rejoices at the prospect for a hot political fight. At a barbecue-dinner given by the Nineveh Daughters of the Confederacy Col. Todhunter vigorously campaigns for Col. ‘*Bill’’ Strick nd, warns young Tom Strickland, in love with Edith Mayfield of the of be- coming entangled with Lottie May Doggett, and helps Sim Birdsong get a word with Miss Angelica Exall. Chancing to be present dur- ing a lively interview tween Editor Can- trill of the Ninevah Weekly Blade, the Strick- land organ, and‘old Squire Tucker, leading the opposition to Strickland, Col. Todbunter rec- ognizes the power of the prose for good or evil. He _ rejoices that e is not sub- jected to the temptations of newspaper men. Hearing that Tom Strickland, drinking, has provoked Stamford Tucker into a dangerous quarrel, Col. Todhunter finds Tom in a saloon and tries to avert a personal encounter be- tween the two. But they meet, have hot words, Tom Strickland knocks Stam Tucker down,’ and the latter threatens vengeance. Sim Birdsong, on a hint from Col. Todnunter, resolves to elope with Angelica Exall.

It’s-you talk- ing to the life, old fellow, and you're talking for me, and every word you say helps us more than a column of ordinary newspeper stuff. I wouldn't take a thousand dollars for it, right now!” ‘“l’d sell it fce> a blamed sight less’n that, suh!” hotly replied Col. Todhun- ter. “And didn’t I warn you—didn’t | tell you beforehand that they’d shorely size me up as a country-jake from the very beginnin’, and that l’d bungle you all up here in St. Louis, suh? Didn't I say that as shore as i came to these here dadblamed city headquarters 0’ your’n I'd play the very old blue blazes and Sam Hill ‘fore I got through, suh? Yes, suh—and I’m a-headin’ straight ack for Nineveh this very day, suh!” “No, you ain’t—not by a jug full”’ re- torted Col. Strickland, manfully striving to straighten his face into gravity. ““No, sir. You'll speak at the Coliseum this very night, just as we've planned, Thurs, and I’ll tell you another thing. You'll speak to the biggest and most en- thusiastic audience the Coliseum ever held, or else I don’t know the signs of & man’s popularity when I see ‘em, sir: ‘You've got some dadblamed funny ideas of popularity, then, that’s all I t to say, Bill Strickland!’’ snorted Col. odhunter. “Popular be durned!

Todhunter exploded. “That's precisely the troub!*, -wh!" he shouted. «‘That’s just exactly what makes ’em so blamed libelous, you bray- | in’ wild ass of the desert! .The more ! look at ‘em, the more they look like me.

And it is to Dick Cantrill’s ever- lasting credit that he held himself in un- til Col. Todhunter had stalked majestic- ally away. Then he laughed as he had not laughed in many a day. “God bless hiin!’’ he said to himself, chokingly. ‘“‘He and his speeches: have

I ain't in it with you, mv friend—you’ve made the hit of your life. Why, sir, you’re the most famous man in St. Louis this very day!” Col. Todhunter looked extremely du- bious. And the next moment he found himself in the limelight anew. The same paper, conceding afresh his pictorial and hu- morous possibilities, cartooned him in another pose as its illustration of the weather prediction for the day, present- ing him as its famous ‘‘weather bird.’’ “High winds blowing from the direc- tion of Nineveh,’’ it gravely announced. “Shifting tonight to the westward, with its storm center at the Coliseum. The famous Col. Thurs. T. Todhunter will speak there, beginning at 8 sharp. In- creasing wind velocity. Duration of gale unknown.” At this stage of the proceedings it re- quired the combined arguments of Col. “Bill” Strickland, his St. Louis backers, and the entire headquarters staff, to keep Col, Todhunter be name on the warpath in quest of newpaper scalps in general. Col. “‘Bill,” a shrewd veteran in knowledge of what goes to win the people’s liking, was tickled almost be- yond measure. “Old Thurs. Todhunter’s making votes for our side faster than you could count ‘em,””’ he said to white-haired Gov. Les- He, his political sponsor in St. Louis, who himself had headed a brilliant Mis- sourl administration in earlier days. ‘These papers have got right at the heart of him, and they’re meee him to the people for just the lovable old Democrat that he is, too. It’s a good thing all ’round, Governor—old-fashioned Democracy in the flesh is worth while for the younger generation to look at. They need it, too.” The candidate and his friends were finally successful in mollifying Col. Tod- hunter. But he went to his night’s task in anything but a hopeful frame of mind. . Col. “Bill” Strickland, however, had prophesied truly. The Coliseum was packed to the doors. “Dog my cats, suh,’’ said Col. Todhun- er, describing the scene to Dick Can- trill upon his return home later, “you couldn’t ha’ wedged a knife-blade in be- tween any two men in that-there crowd, suh. And tne way they cheered and ho}- lored when I was interduced by the chairman of the meetin’, suh! Blamed if you wouldn't ha’ thought I was the original roarin’ ring-tailed guyasticutus of Calaveras County, suh, and the only one in captivity, suh.

gained 5000 votes tcr Col. Strickland in St. Louis just as sure as the sur rises and sets! And they’re worth it, too!’’ But the crowning achievement of Col. Todhunter’s visit to St. Louis was when, by mistake, he marched upon the plat- form at the biggest Steghen K. Yancey mass meeting of the éntire campaign and delivered a ringing eulogy of the Hon, William J. Strickland square in the face of the enemy. It all arose from the blunder of the Strickland headquarters man assigned to guide Col. Todhunter to his several] speaking places on that fateful night. Rival, Strickland and Yancey mass méeting’s were being held in the same ward that night. The two halls engaged by the respective campaign managers were not far apart: Col. Todhunter’s luckless guide got their locations con- fused. Not until ne followed the Colo- nel in a hurried entrace upon the speak- ers’ stage did he realize his blunder. By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS (Copyright, 1909, by Ripley D. Saunders.) It was too late. An early speaker had just concluded his preseutation of the Hon, Stephen K. Yencey’s claims for the favorable con- s:deration of Democratic voters as Col. TYodhunter’s tall and exceedingly digni- fied figure emerged into view from the lear Of the stage. It se happened that some stentorian- voiced wag in the audience recognized the Colonel, and grasped aiiu.e the hu- mor of the situation as it then existed and its possibilities of further develop- ment. This unknown gentleman prompt- ly voiced a mighty and magnetic whoop. ““Todhunter! Todhunter! Hooray for Col. Todhunter!”’ Now, it will never be known if what immediately followed this joyful and en- thusiastic ery was due to a similar sense of humor possessed by others inthe au- dience, or if it was merely the natural result of a splendid salutation fallin upon the ears of a multitude waiting ana wistful to be stirred by vociferous lead- ership into tumultuous acclaim. What- ever the cause, the sudden slogan from one throat provoked a magnificent re- sponse. It was as though the vast gath- ering had been electrified into a pas- sion‘of volealized fervor. Almost instant- ly the big hall echoed and re-echoed with Col. Todhunter’s name. ‘‘Todhunter! Todhunter! Hooray for Col. Todhunter!” At this psychological moment the orig- inal shouter added a new ‘“‘tag’’ to his magnificent salutation. “Speech!” he roa ‘Speech! Tod- hunter! § .

Johnson has said that he is against Ward's election to the presidency of the National League and against the reported attempt of John T. Brush and Charles W. Murphy to control the senior or- It is reported that Johnson, {mmedi- ately on his arrival here, will seek out his club owners and make plans to Wage an active campaign against the National Leaguers should they, by elect- ing Ward, make it necessary for him to bolt the national commission, which he was instrumental! in organizing. The American’ League club owners, how- ever, say they will back up Johnson in anything he does. Ward's election to the National League appears by no means assured. President Murphy of the Chicage Club gays that Ward will be elected on the first ballot, but President Dreyfuss of oF the Pittsburg club claims that. Ward cannot now command more than four votes. If the vote is four for Ward ana four for Meydler, the present ex- ‘ecutive will hold over under the pro- visions ef the National League consti- ‘tution. Pienty of compromise candidates have been named thus far and almost all of them will be here to attend the Pitts- burg club’s banquet on Wednesday night. The Murphy-Ebbets faction are * ganization. He has practically threatened a baseball war. scheduled to select Joseph D. O’Brien as its compromise candidate, while if Herrmann,. Dreyfuss and Dovey find they can not elect Heydler, they are likely, it is believed, to place in nomi- nation Robert Brown of Louisville. “Adrian Anson has little or no chance,” according to one of the mag- nates, “and his appearance here is re- gretted, it being the general opinion that’ whoever was responsible for the veteran’s making the trip eastward has been hoodwinking him.” Stanley Robison, the.St. Louis ‘club- owner, announced that he would be on hand here today, but Horace Fogel, who represents the new owner of the Phila- delphias, will not arrive. Friends of Fogel were quoted here to- day as asserting that ‘‘as yet he has not pledged himself to the Murphy- Ebbets faction and he will come here ready to swap his vote to any ‘magnate that will give him some good players.” If this is the case, Philadelphia’s vote is unlikely to go to Heydler, as the Herrmann-Dreyfuss-Dovey coalition has stated that it would not elect its candi- date by making any trades.

Cincinnati Man Says Herrmann Has Planned CINCINNATI, Dec. 13. MAN close te President Herr- ee ‘mann of the Reds said here Sun- Gay that if Ward is victorious .n the election in New Yerk Herrmann and Dreyfuss will both leave the Na- tional League and that this will prob- * ably be done within the next few weeks. It geems Herrmann has been planning to Jump to the American League for - gome time and may do it at once. “Dreyfuss and I both know very well - ‘Just what is going te happen if Ward is elected,” said Herrmann to thig man. _ We know that Murphy will want both _ Johnson and myself to step down from the National Commission and give way _ to members he will want. ’ “It's a long story, but you must know that Murphy has grown to dislike me - because I would nat stand for his bluff- tng.

—_—— to Jump the League sons this hatred betweén the two club presidents has been bitter. Murphy has accused both Johnsen and Herrmann with giving him the cold shoulder on baseball deals. They say they have not, and that they kave always tried to do the right thing. “But Murphy is obdurate. Herrmann and Dreyfuss, helped by Johnson, have been trying to oust Murphy from Na- tional League circles for several years. They don’t want a kicker like him on the League. It is net because he has dene anything that is wrong, under- stand, but because he has never been peaceable about his demands. He kicks, and then when he does not get what he wants, he kicks again. “It is for this reason that they don’t want him te be running things. And with him in control as he would be were Ward elected, their lives so far as baseball is concerned, would not be worth living. President Johnson is known to be sore on Murphy and anx- | ious for his scalp. Of -course, he’s in the American League, and although he will not benefit so much from this new plan as the Cincinnati and Pitts- burg clubs, yet he knows the value of the American League as it is now and what it would be were these two teams to be added to his list.’’ The same authority from whom was secured this statement was the actien of Herrmann and Dreyfuss gaid that if

Ward was elected the two teams wili complete a 10-club circuit for the first year in the American League. After one season of this playing, the League will be changed again to an eight-club circuit.

Cornell in Stand Against the Game ITHACA, N. Y., Dec. 13.—After a three hours’ debate in executive ses- sion Saturday the Cernell University faculty formally voted that as far as Cornell is concerned the game must be mended or ended. The follewing reso- lution adopted, giving the faculty’s at- titude on football, was given out by Prof. J. S. Hammond, secretary ef the fac- ulty: “With a view of securing greater safe- ty to life and limb and higher standards of honor and fair play, it is the insistent opinion of this faculty that the contin- ua ef football as a game for under- graduates depends upon an effective re- vision and enforcement of the rules reg- ulating the game.

Harvard and Yale Heads Confer on Football Changes CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 13—Presi- dent Lowell of Harvard said today: “I called the football conference of Presi- dent Hadley of Yale and Mr. Walter Camp, his football adviser, together with our own Mr. Haighton and myself, last week, because I decided it was absolute- ly necessary to do away with the possi- bility of injury that exists in football today. “In this my colleague, President Had- ley, agrced, but I cannot say that as yet we have struck on any plans favorable toward ‘making the game safer. Of course we went over the past year’s fa- talities and injuries; which show a de- cided reform is needed if football must be a recognized college athletic sport. It is almost too early to discuss in de- tail the prohabilities of the few reforms we wert ever, but both Mr. Camp and Mr. Halghton know our desires ana are considering the points President Hadley and I discussed. “You know a college president is not supposed to be an authority on the tech- nical points of football. Our line of en- deavor lies in another direction. Foot- ball has its own experts to bring the game to the standard of efficiency nec- essary for its existence. I hope,, how- ever, we will have several meetings, and expect thm to yield good fruit.”’ President Lowell of all college presi- dents is one of the best suited to talk on athletics, having been a prominent track athlete in his college days. He never was defeated in any competition he. entered while at Harvard, winning numerous mile and three-mile races. President Lowell is greatly interested in the Canadian rugby game and ex- pects the American game will derive some benefits from the adoption of some of the Canadian methods of play.

——_— Big Fighter Indignant That Public Would Think Him Guilty of “Framing” the Match. BY ROBERT EDGREN. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. HIS is big .Jim Jeffries’ reply to BA the professional knockers who have been tap-tap-tapping at him ever since the private discussion and signing of articles in Hoboken. I met Jeffries and talked the whole matter over with him before he left New York State yesterday for the South and West, for I wanted to have Jeffries’ own statement from his own mouth. I have known the champion ever since he be- gan his career, and there is no man

living for whose word I have greater respect. Jeff will not lie. “Jim,” I said, “why did you sign articles in private? I want to know the inside facts.” Has a Clean Record. “Why do they knock me?” excliimed Jeffries. “If I'd ever done a dishonest thing in my lifé I wouldn't have a word to say, but what right have they to knock me when they know I’ve been absolutely on the level in every fight I ever had in my life. “What's all this picture money talk? What do I care for pictures or picture money when the one thing I think of day and night is knocking Johnson out ag soon as I can get him in the ring? What do I care for picture money be- sides the satisfaction of finishing him in a round or even two or three rounds? “Money never could touch me and it never will. I weuldn’t agree to stall

Alley Strikes and Spares.

To demonstrate the interest being displayed in the individual championship tenpin tourna- ment in which eight of the best bowlers are competing, it is only necessary to state that before next Sunday night that circus seats to the ceiling will be built at the’ De Soto-Pine alleys. There are already quite a number of seats behind Nos. 18, 14,15 and 16 runs, burt Sunday nights they do not begin to seat the big crewd of men and women who turn out to witness the gomes, and close to 50 persons stood up throvghout the evening. : The individual tournament matches are also bowled on the Palace alleys each Saturday engl and the contests have been drawing big crow ds. “Anybody that thinke Nos. 15 and 16 alleys afe such an easy proposition this season is going to be badly fooled,’’ declared Al Jelli- s0n after he had shot a couple of games against Jules Schmitt at the De Soto-Pine Sunday night. Jelliso&m and Schmitt are un- doubtedly the best pair of bowlers in St. Louis, ‘‘Wizard’’ Al must be given credit for being the best match individual bowler in St. Louis. Schmitt is a wonderful two-men and a great five-men team bowler, in neither of which Jellison dominates as he does when playing a single game. It was predicted that the winner of the Jellison-Schmitt match would have to average 220 or better for the eleven games, to annex the odd contest. The men certainly started out that way, Jellison getting 226 to Schmitt's 214. In the second game Schmitt left a single pin stending on one of bis hits. Not waiting for his own ball to return, he picked up one of the rack and shot carelessly. He missed and the error cost him dearly, @s Jellison won with 182 to Schmitt’s 174. The men tled on the next game, with 189, when Schmitt should have won. They shot the extra frame, Jellison getting a strike and a spare, while Schmitt missed the Lead pin and also missed out for @ spare. Schmitt was plainly off form all evening. Jellison, too, was not in any too good form and popped into spilts time after time. On one occasion be shot for a single pin and hit it so fine that it wobbled for several seconds but refused to fall. Jellison’s 9g 10-11 and Schmitt's 187 3-7.

total number of games won during the sea- son. The Junior Individual tournament for the Joe Duffy $100 diamond medal opened on the De Soto-Pine alleys Sunday afternoon and the matcheg resulted in some good bowling. The junior tournament is for men who are not quite up to the class of the. veterans competing in the individual championship event. Al “Pudgy” Bell, who should. come near winning the ‘“‘rock studded”’ disk, took four out of seven from Coffman. Bell averaged 180. Pitts was the real star of the after- noon when he cracked out an average of 196 2-7, which, strange to say, was only good enough to win his three out of the seven games, in gpite of the dact that. his opponent, Holdt, got but 1889. Eddy, an East St. Louls bowler, got an average of 191 3-7, and con- sequently made the ‘‘wise’’ ones sit up and take notice. Eddy won four out of seven from Waechter. Gustin took five out of seven from Stuernagel. O’Brien beat Bean 6—1. Meyer shot great tenpins and with an average of 1962-7, took five out of seven from Juede. Knapp won four out of seven from Potts. Hoffman won five out ef seven from McCarthy. Kraemer took six out of seven from Jarrett. Rauch wen the odd game os his mateh with Beuter.

Colored Fighter Says He Was Rot Over Sam McVey Satur

RY JOHN POLLOCK. NEW YORK, Dec. 18 OB JEANNETTE, the colored J heavyweight, and Jim Stewart, the Brooklyn fighter, will sail for this country from France on Wednes- day on the steamship Teutonic. Jean- nette is quitting that country so sud- denly because he claims that he was deliberately robbed out of the decision in his 30-round battle with Sam McVey, the American colored fighter, at Paris, on Saturday night, by the referee de- claring the contest a draw. Jim Jeffries is certainly hot at Tom McCarey, the fight premoter of Los Angeles, who has been claiming since he (McCarey) arrived home that he was robbed out of the match, and he does not think everything is right with the bout. Jeff in a telegram to his partner in Los Angeles says that Mc- Carey is sore because he was outbid fer the bout by “Tex’’ Rickard and Jack Gleason. Jim Corbett is really going to train Jim Jeffries for his battle with John- son. Corbett sailed for America on ing the other side Corbett made a state- ment in which he said that he had made up his mind to assist Jeffries in getting inte condition for the fight, and that he was confident Jeff would put Johnson away. gilist at Dublin, Ireland, on night. The ly knocked Lancaster out twice during the fight, and although he had the bet- ter of tho bettie, the rcferee declared Lancaster the winner on points. The verdict nearly caused a riot among the spectators. An effort is being made to arrange a 10-round bout between Mike (Twin) Sullivan and Jimmy Clabby, the Mil- waukee welterweight, to take place the latter part of this month before the Badger A. C. of Milwaukee. Little Johnny Coulon, the Chicage bantamweight, and Earl Denning, an- other clever youngster from the same city, have been matched to meet for 10 rounds af the boxing show to be brought off at Gary, Ind., on the night ef Dec. ®.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Pat Sheedy, gambler, amateur of art, philosopher of life and citizen of the world, died last night in his home on West ‘rhirty- fourth street. His heart, which had beat strongly under conditions when other hearts were breaking, failed him at 10:17 p. m. Physicians say that the strain ‘under which he labored during the almost two- score years, when a tremor in his face or a movement of the hand meant de- feat in the game of chance, contrib- uted to the end last night.

LABOR MEN ASK CITY TO STAND PAT ON ARBITRARY Resolution Asks That No Franchise

. Be Granted Terminal Association Without Concession. The attitude of the City Council in demanding the abolition of all bridge ar- bitraries before granting any more franchises to the Terminal Association was indorsed by the Central Trades and Labor Union. A resolution prepared by President Owen Milrer declared that the arbitrary on coal works a direct hardship on every family, every store and every factory in St. Louis. The resolution urges the City Council to “stand pat’’ ih its decision to make no concessions to the Terminal monop- oly, and to get an absolute gparantee that all arbitraries will be forever abol- ished before granting the franchises sought by the association. Another resolution also demanded that the city adminigtration take proper steps to condemn land for the East St. Louis approaches for the free bridge. The delay incident to the Hast &t, Louis situation was criticized as ‘‘flim- sy pretexts.”’ The union also had up again the ques- tion of alleged police interference in the strike at the Marx & Haas Cloth- ing’ Co.’s f&ctory. Delegate Conroy stated that a special committee had in- ferviewed Chief Creecy about the order and

It had been stolen by Adam Worth, who went from New York to London years ago to become one of the “King of Fences” for European and American thieves.
