Alonzo Miller, aged 13 years, of Up- per Alton, did not like his teacher. In this respect he was not unlike many boys of his age. He did not know just why he did not like her, but when he went home for luncheon at noon Wednesday he told’ his mother he was tired of his teacher. Mrs. Miller told him after the holi- days she would send him to his grand- mother’s in Bunker Hil! to go to school there. On his way to school Alonzo had to pass the Chicago & Alton depot. A freight train had just pulled in. Alon- zo decided it was unnecessary to walt until after Christmas to go to Bunker Hill, so he climbed upon the coupling between two cars, and started for his grandmother's home. The creaking train pulled out. As it got up its speed the wind rushed in be- tween the two cars, and almost swept Alonzo from his perch. The snow swept upward by the draft of the train stung his face and benumbed his fingers. There was one stop made between Al- ton and Bunker Hill, and: apparently Alonzo took advantage of it to write a note to his mother. The train rolled on, and by the time it reached Bunker:Hill Alonzo was al- most frozen. Before it came to-a: stand- still he fell from the coupling and was crushed to death under the wheels. While his mother was waiting for him to return from school at 6:30 p. m. a telephone message came from Bunker Hill. “Your boy was killed in the yards here,”’ the message said. ‘He had a note in his pocket addressed to you. It read: ‘Dear Mother: I have gone to gramma’s to go to school. I know I'll like gramma’s teacher. Please send my Christmas toys—’ ’’ But the nunib little fingers never fin- ished the letter. Alonzo will be buried in the old church yard at Bunker Hill. He was the son of William H. Miller, @ teamster, living on College avenue, Upper Alton. ST.

He replied to her letter and they kept up a correspendence whicn continued after our marriage. “A year ago the Prince sent her a present. I made no objection to her accepting it. In fact, I was never jeal- ous of the Prince, but she thought I was. I looked him up and found that he is the chief. native ruler of India. “He is married and has seven children and is much older than I. But my wife kept accusing me e¢ deing jealous, and since our sepaart4v7A she has talke1 of the Prince. Of wourse, she could have had no thought of marrying him. It was just a schoolgirl whim.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 16.—His physicians considered the conditon of King Leo- pold improved today. The following bulletin was issued this morning: “The consequences of the operation are normal, temperature 989-10; pulse, 70; respriation, 24. The improvement has become more marked.” It was announced verbally that the King’s condition was so good this morn- ing that the fears entertained yesterday had been nearly dispelled. As a result of the turn for the better, the patient will be given a diet of eggs, soup, weak wine and water. Two of his physicians remain at the palace. In an interview one of the King’s phy- siclans said that the convalescence might sicians within five or six days, despite his extreme weakness. He said that Leo- pola was bearing up well. He felt better and was still hopeful of recovery. His mind, the. physician seid, was uncloud- ed. The fever had disappeared. “But,” the medical man added sig- } alfieantly, “we must not forget that the Kong is 7% years old.”

PENITENT AFTERWARD Tries Mental Healing for Cuts on Motorman’s Face When Anger Cools. tee Finding “absent ‘treatment’ wouldn't stop a street car on the Kirkwood di- vision of the United Railways system, Oliver B. Barrows, a’ prominent Chris- tion Scientist, threw a chunk of ice through the glass vestibule of the car. Now he says he will Philesophically accept publicity as his punishment for permitting matter to triumph over mind. He hasn't determined’ whether it war “malicious animal magnetism” or just plain anger which caused him to forget the tenets of Science and lose his equa- nimity. Mr, Barrows is sales agent for the American Steel and Wire Co. He lives at Glendale, St. Louis County, and has offices in the Third National Bank Euilding. The incident—that’s what Mr. Bar- rows calls it—occurred.. -Wednesday night. A carload of passengers, most of whom were on their way to services in the new Christian Science Church in Kirkwood, were startled when the mis- sile went crashing through the glass. But Mr. Barrows, whose “‘treatment’’ was effective in stopping the car, failed to convince them that their excitement was only a condition of the mind. He Was successful in pacifying the motor- man, but not in showing him that his belief that his face was cui by flying glass was merely a de:usion. When Matter Prevailed. He was in haste to get to the churcn Wednesday night. With him were his Wife, his daughter and a. woman neigh- bor. “We. stood at Babbinated road crossing 4 ininutes,". he. said, “and two cars It was very atinoying, + but 1) kept my mental poise. “When we had been there half an hour a third car came in sight; It was run- ing very fast and though I waved my hand as a signal to the motorman I could see that he had no intention to Stop. “A strange impulse camte over me. Matter got the better of mind and I picked up a large piece of ice from the rough frozen roadway. Publicity His Punishment. “As the car approached I hurled the ice at it and it wenr through the glass of the vestibule. “I knew it was not a nice thing for a Christian Scientist to do. I am ap- prehensive about the effect that it may have upon the church, but I must ac- cept publicity as my punishment.” “I don’t know just what made me do it.” he continued. “A minute after I threw the chunk of ice L. was sorry. “The car stopped. rather suddenly, and we got on. I went out to the platform and talked to the motorman. He said that he thought his eye was injured. I teed to convince him that this belie: was imaginary, but I told him that if he. not being a Christian Scientist. fe it necessary to have treatment, I would gladly pay all of the expenses. Apologizes to McCulloch. “The coolness of my mental condition apparently was communicated to the motorman, for when the car reached the church we parted good friends. “This morning I went to Capt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 16.—Ben- jamine Franklin Hughes, well-to-do re- tired farmer, real estate dealer and former member of the Legislature, was held in $1000 bond today when arraigned on a charge of bigamy. The complaint was signed by Mrs. Valeria Wiler Hughes, who is 17 years old. The ac- cused man is 55, and he is the father of a son 20 years old. The two women who assert they are wives of the former. legislator, met in a dramatic manner Sunday night. Members of the Hughes family had just finished supper and were sitting around in a happy circle. The father was reading contentedly. The son, a clerk in the First National Bank, .was preparing to go out for the evening. The two daughters were chatting with the mother. There was a knock at.the door. A young woman and her mother entered. “So this is wife No. 1,” said the young. er of the two visitors, pointing her finger at Mrs. Hughes and eying the husband scornfully. “Well I am wife No. 2, living at 1622 Madison street.

CHILD’S. PRAYER FOR. BROTHER BRINGS O D SANTA 10 DAYS AHEAD WESLEY COLEMAN, BEU LAH COLEMAN. b>

A little sister’s unselfishness in ask- ing Banta Claus to bring her lame brother a tricycle-and never mind about herself, so touched the kindhearted pa- tron saint of good children that he made a special trip from the North Pole 10 days ahead of his schedule to grant her ‘wish. As he was embarrassed at being ahead of time, he did not reveal himself, but acted through 8-year-old Catharine Steele of 6582A Etzel avenue. Wesley Coleman, 5 years old, who lives in a dark, abandoned hospital at 1011, North ‘Eighteenth street, had an awful disease, which the doctors called spinal meningitis. It twisted his ankles so that his legs and feet were turned inwards and he could not walk. Three months ago a good young surgeon who knew the boy’s mother, offered’ to perform an operation so that Wesley could walk. The operation succeeded, and the doc- tor incased his patient’s ankles in plas- ter casts, which he ordered removed Wednesday. Several days ago Wesley asked his mother, Mrs. Augustus A. Coleman, whether Santa Claus wouldn't bring him a tricycle. Feet Too Weak to Walk. “My feet are too weak to walk, he told her, “and if I had a tricycle I could exercise until they got strong.” Mrs. Coleman hid her tearg for there was little chance that Santa would re- member her children. Her husband had been in the City Hospital a year with paralysis, and she herself, since the hospital. was closed, throwing her out of steady employment, had been glad to obtain chance jobs at nursing. “T don’t know whether Santa will come to see poor people,” she replied brokenly. “Maybe he couldn’t find us in two back rooms of a hospital which has been closed.” Wesley’s sister, Beulah, 8 years old, listened with impatience to this an- swer, for her faith in the good saint is strong. She tossed her black curls and ner brown . adand flashed behind her pothing, but stole away ana ‘ mother’s knowledge wrote to. | to! yin care of the Post-Dig-

With the arrest of Mra. Snead came i] Snead, the long-missing husband of Ocey Snead, had been located in St. Catherines, Ontario. Mrs. Snead was taken in custody at the house in West Twenty-second street, where she has recently been liv- ing. She was taken to police headquar- ters for examination. More than 100 ‘‘suicide’’ letters pur- porting to have been written by Mrs. Ocey Snead were found among the ef- fects of Mrs. Martin. She is charged jointly with Miss Virginia Wardlaw, her sister, with having killed Mrs. Snead. Mrs. Martin was arrested last night in the Hotel Bayard, where her mys- terious actions direcred suspicion toward her, and where rough drafts of the note threatening suicide pinned on. Mrs. Snead’s dress, were found, Though she had registered under an assumed name she did not deny her identity when ar- rested. Many of the letters found today were addressed to prominent New Yorkers, among whom were Mrs. Russell Sage and Mrs. Clarence Burns, a well-known club woman. | The letters were varied in their phraseology, but all of them sounded the pathetic note of despair. One ad- dressed ‘“‘To Whoever Finds This,” ex- pressed dread of pain, and concluded> ‘Nobody has harmed me, and I have harmed nobody. I love everybody, and everybody loves me, but I cannot en- dure physical agony.” This letter was unsigned. 3 .

At a mass meeting .n the University Auditorium, called to discuss the mat- ter, the students voted to eliminate ‘hell’ from their college songs and yells. A book of songs published last fall by the co-eds contained the naughty wdrds and now the young women promise to issue a new song book with the songs No more will the studepts consign old | Kansas U. to-heil and the students arc | expected never to say again in their yell “Well, well, well: Is that Kansas?

ee ee eee ee —— ' aiff MAYOR SALUTES MINE HERO HOWDY, WILLIAM “Howdy, Mr. Mayor,” Is the Reply of W. H. Clelland, Who Won Fame at Cherry, I!l. THAT’S ALL THEY SAID Speech to Curious Crowd in Museum Is Almost Equally as Short. William H. Clelland, pious hero of the Cherry mine catastrophe, officially was welcomed to St. Louis by Mayor Kreis- mann at 12:45 p. m. Thursday, when the Scotch Presbyterian appeared at opening of the Bijou Amusement The- ater, 606 Washington avenue. Mayor’s greeting consisted of two words. accompanied by a hearty handclasp: “Howdy, William.” “Howdy, Mr. Mayor,” replied the un- abashed miner. The’ Mayor thereupon beat a retreat down the rear stairs, ac- companied by Building Commissioner Smith. Clelland was ifitroduced in glowing diction by Tom Rankine, who prefers to be known as “Dean of the Pike,” a nickname which has adhered to him from World’s Fair days. Introduction Is Elaborate. After recounting Clelland’s exploit in praying and singing psalms: behind the barricades built in the second vein of the mine, Rankine, in a burst of elo- quence, exclaimed: -“T now have the honor, ladies and gentlemen, of introducing to you a man greater than the crowned heads of Europe, greater than the President of the United States or any other person that you and I may know.’”’ Clelland, who had been shifting his weight in some embarrasment from foot to foot during the description of his heroism, elaborately walked across the platform upon hearing this tribute and spat ina cuspidor. “Ladies aud Gents,” He Begins. “Ladies and gents,”’ began the hero, “I ain’t much of a public talker. Mr. Rankine has done good, in fact, first- rate. Thank you for coming.’’ He then subsided into a Morris chair, beside which lay the miner’s garb and cap, } with the lamp attached, which he had worn in the shaft. The miner’s taciturnity won the crowd of perhaps 200 persons, which thronged about his platform, and they remained to ask him questions. He was instantly at home, and, bending down eagerly ahn- swered all interrogations put to him. He displayed the watch from which he broke the crystal in order to feel what time it was in the total darkness of the mine. Before his turn, he watched with wide-eyed wonder the feat of ‘‘Myra- ble, the Magician,’’ who had himself tied in a sack and releaged himself be- hind a curtain. He was astonished by the deftness with which ‘Rector, the Juggler,” caught falling Indian clubs in the crotch of his heel, and ex- pressed admiration for the ‘‘fiddling’’ of the “Musical Zanonetta,’’ who played the “Sextet from Lucia’ with piano and saxophone accompaniment. When Signor Porcasi’s ‘“‘Parthenope Ottetto’”’ began to sing, Clelland asked what the song was. Laughs at Own Joke. “The quartet from ‘Rigoletto,’” he was answered. ae “Then give me a cigaretteo,” he re- plied, laughing heartily at his own quip. “Did you really pray and sing down in, that awful mine?’’.a sharp-featured spinster demanded of Clelland. |‘I ain’t much of a chureh-going man,” replied the young miner, “and I think since I left home I have been inside a church four times, at the funerals of my four brothers, killed in mines. But my parents were Scots and Presby- terians, and they ‘taught me the, faith from the cradle. “In our danger in the mine the olA prayers and hymns came rushing back to my memory and they gave Me to much strength and courage that I rv- peated them to my comapnions. They have since told me that it was the pasims which gave them courage 10 ld vut to the end, and that was my experience, too.” Pranks Helpwul, Too. “You relied upon yourself somewh1t, didn’t you?” asked a man in rough garb who looked like'a miner himself. ‘ ‘Heaven helps those who help them- selves,’’’ quoted Clelland. “I found | practical jokes about as useful as pray- ers. When a man began to get down- hearted I would steal his shoes while he was asleep and hide them. When he woke up and began to grope about for them in the darkness, he would get so mad he would forget about being down- cast. Then I told them Bfories by the hour to keep them laughing.” “Why didn’t you light your lamps if it was so dark?” asked a spectator.

|INDEPENDENT OIL MEN TO SUE STANDARD FOR $281,500,000 Federal Court Decision Gives Chance for Demand for Heavy Damages. NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Damage suits for more than a quarter of a billion dol- lars against the Standard Oil Co. by independent producers of the Middle West are under consideration as a result of the decision of the Federal court that the operations of the Trust have been in restraint of trade. Jubiliation of the independents over the decision has now turned to calcu- lations of damages. As the law pen- alizes violations at three times the amount of damages, the figuring of the independents so far as it has gone looks to specific recoveries of $281,500,000. Esti- mates are not yet in from producers in Ohio and Indiana, or from many refin- ers, jobbers and dealers, who will be entitled to sue for many additional mil- lions.

lene al All Kinds of Guesses Made as to Actual Amount Swindler Got. NS PROFESSOR’S PROBLEM ——————§- Dr: Woodward Started Puzzle to Circulating and Kept Bankers From Work. If somebody doesn’t solve this shoe- maker problem soon, the clearing house will begin to show the effects of it. Men can’t keep bank and work catch problems at the same time. And the worst part of it is that the bank sub- ordinates, who ought to.take care of the banks while thelr bosses are work- ing out the shoemaker question, have got as much interested as the bosses themselves. So, instead of hearing in St. Louis banks Thursday such questions as “Did you get your balance?’ one could hear muttered phrases such as “Deduct profit he made on the shoes’’ and “let ‘x’ equal the value of the shoes.”’ Professor Started Trouble. Prof. Calvin M. Woodward, who first sprung the problem on a group of bank- ers at the Noonday Club, was accosted on his way to Washington University Thursday by a half-dozen persons who had read the problem in Wednesday's Post-Dispatch, and who wanted to ask him if their answers were right. He told them their guesses were as good as his, and that his experience with bad money had been so limited that perhaps he might not be an authority. More than fifty leffers have been re- ceived by the Post-Dispatch from St. Louisans, some of them frantically anx- ious to get at a solution of the probien). Some of these will we published later. Among those first received were the following: Makes It $15. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. .The problem of the shoemaker, the customer with the $10 counterfeit bill and the druggist which puzzled ‘the bankers at tid Noonday Club looks easy to me. Any school child out of the pri- mary grade should Know that if the shemaker had to return to the drug- gist $10 te make good the counterfeit bill he had changed, after giving the customer a good $ bill in change, he was out $15 and the pair of shoes be- sides. If his profit on the shoes, if the money were good, had been $1, then I figure that the shoemaker was out at least $16. A BOOKKEEPER. Easiest Thing in the World. To th: Editor of the Post-Dispatci. Your shoemaker lost $10 (that is, the shoes and $5). I don’t see why those bankers had any difficulty in solving the problem; it took me almost a second to do it. When your shoemaker visited the druggist he received two $5 bills, or $10; charge his cash account $10. He gave the buyer of the shoes $5—credit his cash account $5. When the drug- gist called on him to redeem the counter- feit $10 bill he gave up $10 in good money —credit his cash account $10—making a total credit of $15, and debit of $%. Net loss to him, $10. O. H. BROOKS JR. Here Ia a Hot One. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch answer to the Shoemaker Puzzle is iculously easy. I am surprised that“our brightest bankers cannot solve it. Of course I could show you how to do it by algebra, but 1 think the com- mon-sense way is best. Maybe some of the bankers don't know any more about algebra than they do about puzzles. Here's the way it is: To start with, the shoemaker had a $% pair of shoes. That made him $5 “to the good.”” The problem doesn’t Fay they were velvet shoes, but their value was “velvet” to the shoemaker if you compare him with the customer who didn’t have any shoes. Now: the customer comes in. He gives the shoe- maker a $10 bill. The shoemaker goes to the druggist and gets two $5 bills for the ‘“‘ten spot.” Now he has the shoes, the $10 and the $5, which the customer has paid him for the shoes. If the shoemaker didn’t £0 back to the store with the change and the customer walked out without taking the shoes, the shoemaker would be ahead $10 and a $5 pair of shoes, or $15 in all. But he goes back, being an honest man. He gives the customer the shoes, which are ‘‘velvet,” and a $5 Dill out of the $15, which he is ahead. That leaves him $10 “‘to the good.’”’ So, you see, when the druggist makes him re- deem the counterfeit bill the shoemaker is just even. He hasn't lost anything. If this isn’t clear just call and see me. I live in the big house on the hill out on Arsenal street. ‘J. BB: FP. Also Lost His Sleep. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “ I have it. The shoemaker lost a pair of shoes, a $5 bill and a night’s sleep. Bi :

Jaccard & & King, |SHOEMAKER’S LOSS STIRS UP WHOLE TOWN

SHOEMAKER sold a pair A of shoes to a stranger for : $5, receiving a $10 bill in payment. Not having the change he took the bill to a druggist and got two $5 bills for it. He gave the stranger the shoes and $5 in change. Later the druggist discovered the $10 bill was a counterfeit and compelled the shoemaker to redeem it. HOW MUCH DID THE SHOE- MAKER LOSE? about a bill offered him by his best customer. Bill is all right, but best customer gets offended and shoemaker loses his trade. Shoemaker’s son fights with boy who taunts him about hav- ing an “easy mark” for a father, and pushes him through a store window, which shoemaker has to pay for. aA.id some of these items to $10, the original loss, and you will have, not the an- swer, but some idea of the answer. SHAG-LA-HOO-TI. Easy as Being Bumped. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There is nothing in that shoemaker puz- zle that ought to worry the six-cylinder high brows who run the banks. It is just as easy as getting bumped at an auction sale. The shoemaker was out $6 and the pair of shoes, of course. It was like this: He got two $5 bills from the druggist. He gave one $5 bill to the stranger and kept one. When the drug- gist woke up and asked for his two $ the shoemaker gave l.lm back the one he had kept and took another from the till, One of the fives he had received from the druggist and the other was his own. He therefore lost the $5 and the pair of shoes. ALGIE BRAY. Dozen in Argument. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The shoemaker problem in Wednes- day’s Post-Dispatch caused a lengthy end fierce argument in which a dozen persons were interested. By a majority vote taken we have decided that the shoemaker was loser $10 and the pair of shoes. Will you please give the cor- rect solution of the problem to settle the discussion for us? The minority vote declared that the shoemaker was out only $5 and the shoes. In arriving at the solution the majori- ty figured this way: The stranger bought the shoes and took them from the store. When the shoemaker took the counterfeit $10 to the druggist for change, and gave the stranger $5 in change, he had to make up the $10 to the druggist when the bill’s worthless- ness was discovered. The stranger set the bogus $10 bill in circulation, and also got'a pair of shoes. Someone had to be the loser of the $10 bill. The shoe- maker yet has the bill, having made It good, hence he is the loser, together with the shoes. EAST ST. LOUIS. Bankers Take Notice. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read your puzzle problem in the Post-Dispatch and I feund that the shoemaker lost $ and the shoes. Please publish this, so the city brokers and bank employes may read it. A SOUTH SIDE SHOEMAKER. A.Cass Avenue Guess. To the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to Prof. Wooward’s prob- lem, which I read in your paper, I think the shoemaker lost $15 and the shoes. J. J. G., Cass avenue. A Christmas Divcrsion. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. With all due respect to our bankers and financiers, my solution is: The shoe. maker lost $5 and his shoes, or the price of them. This is certainly a mathemati- cal Christmas diversion for busy 8st. Louis people. W. P. WALKER. 4563 Haston avenue. Oh, You Barkers, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Prof. Woodward's puzzle is on a par with the ‘“‘When does the twentieth cen- tury begin?’ of 10 years ago, of which “Jaccard’s” Eyeglasses Christmas Gifts

the learned men of the country sat UP nights to solve. A banker once told me he was unable to put himself in the other man’s place. He left $200,000 con- servatively accumulated from a shoe- string. If any three of the bankers who worked so hard on this problem, with such slaughter of the poor shoemaker's finances, have any ability in putting themselves in the other man’s place, let them assume the characters and act the parts. By so doing they will find the ee verify it, let the shoemaker have $5 in his till and make the sale and change himself. The result’s the same. Such puzzles cause ennui to 12-year-old schoolgirls and $12-a-week workers. MART STEFFAN. A Simzle Question. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Is there really a “catch” in Prof. Woodward's problem? If the shoemaker gave the stranger $5 and a pair of shoes

shoemaker out $ and the pair of shoes. and returned $10 to the druggist, he would be out $15 and a pair of shoes. If there is no “funny” answer, why should a simple question addle the minds of bankers and brokers? Sh SUBSCRIBER. $10 and Cost of Shoes. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Prof. C. M. Woodward's puzzle is quite interesting and more so your com- ment, but this is the correct answer: The shoemaker lost $10 and the cost of the pair of shoes. nage cues rein en seeeees 8 . _" ~ a Pee v , iat ‘tt re o af OY 6 ge * ” + i. s = 4 nw . os - - - . = . et »t ” ’ i a em » used 14: ae | praise it to all I think are in need} of such medicine. ’’—Mrs. David Albright,

The traffic ordinance offered to the Municipal _ Aasembly by the Automobile Club of St. Louis bas much to commend ‘it. Its directions for the conduct and guidance of all kinds of vehicles are ‘ elaborate and specific, and with such an ordinance ‘behind them the police will have no excuse for not enforcing compliance with reasonable rules whose necessity becomes plainer every day. _ The one provision of the ordinance which re- quires particular attention is Article IV. This ar- ticle relates to speed. Its four sections resolve themselves into this single provision: The rate ia speed shall be reasonable. In one aspect of it this is a reasonable provis- hoe It would be ideal if chauffeurs were reasona- “ble. But to enforce a law applicable to the un- reasoning and.the unreasonable, of whose neces- sity demonstration is found in the formal death notices, some limitation more specific than “‘rea- - gonable” must be provided. Penalties for violating the ordinance rest, in the final analysis, on evidence and painful ex- perience has taught that there is no satisfactory evidence but a speedometer, whose registrations relievé all doubt and forbid all dispute. With “reasonable” as the test of speed every trial for breaking the law would end in a controversy. The proposed change would serve only to make a bad condition worse. It may be admitted that in the course of time, when the drivers and chauffeurs of the city have - learned the rules of the road and rigid enforce- t has taught them respect for the power be- Bind the rules, speed; based.on reasonableness may become permissible and even desirable. Obviously _ there are times when ten miles an hour is un- : le and reckless, and when 20 miles is rea- -gonable and safe. But the time has not come yet: The limitations must be adhered to until the pub- Ic has. been educated not only up to the rules but 6 a new standard of propriety and safety. a i —— — ‘It will apparently take something more than : the separation of grades to put this terminal S2 on the level. . | BUNGLING LICENSE FIXERS. _ The proposed license of $50 per game for the big ieague-ball clubs is well intended, but it is, _ ‘Bevertheless, a fickle use of a power that could 5 and should be exercised more discreetly. The Mramers of it lacked’ delicacy of perception and showed complete want of familiarity with / piteniton.

LOUIS, “According to reports of the plans of the Mayor| and the Municipal Commission, the ‘Terminal bill to be introduced in the. House of Delegates, pro- 00 | viding for the Ranken tract improvement, will em- body a number of concessions by the Térmi Railroad Association. Four viaducts tor ‘the : ‘abo. Compton, Ewing, Union avenues: and King’s high- way. The $200,000 station in North’ St. Louis is to be built or $150,000 cash is to be paid ‘Into- the City Treasury. The $150,000 due the city on ac- count of the Clark avenue viaduct obligation will be paid. The Terminal wil: pay for its encroach- ment on Market, with the suggestion that the money be used for a park square opposite Union Station. It is hinted that payment may be made passenger bridgé toll may be abolished. Some of these concessions are old obligations of the association, but all of them are welcome. They represent gains for the city, nor shou.d it be overlooked that the greater part of them have been won by the determined stand of the Post-Dispatch and the Councilmen for an equita- ble settlement with the railroads. It is a far sation embodied in the Municipal Commission's bill, the principal item of which was an objection- able subway at Compton avenue. It is unfortunate that Mayor Kreismann has aligned himself against the Council and is trying, through the House of Delegates, to force conces- sions from the Council in behalf of the Terminal interests. His influence might have been potent in gaining a full measure of justice for the city and a final satisfactory settlement of all differ- ences with the railroads. We believe the Mayor is going beyond his proper function in attempting to shape legislation in the Municipal Assembly and in trying to set one branch of that body against another. He is tempting fate. The Coun- cil.may resent his interference beyond the right of recommendation. The Mayor’s arguments are not pillars of strength. He says that the difference between the arbitrary on coal and charges for switching and hauling which might be put on coal were the ar- bitrary abolished, would be so slight it is not worth the delay it would cause in obtaining addi- tional facilities. He thinks the railroads might profit by the change. Then why do the railroads fight for the arbitrary? He says the arbitrary -wil) be abolished by the free bridge and may be dealt with through the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. If it is sure to be abolished in the near fu- ture, why not now? Why should not the rail- roads yoluntarily concede what will soon be forced from them? 3 The Mayor does not defend the arbitrary as He concedes its injustice. He believes it ought to be abolished. He apologizes for it and is merely arguing for a postponement so that ad- ditional facilities may be given the railroads with- concede. Behind the movement of the Mayor, the Munici- pal Commission and Speaker Rombauer of the House of Delegates to ease the situation for ths railroads, is a threat that the business interests may bring such pressure to bear upon the Coun- cil that it will yield its convictions. What busi- ness interests? The Council is fighting for the real bust- ness interests, for the wholesale and retail merchants and the manufacturers and for the interests of the masses of the people. They are fighting for the open gate to St. Louis, for the growth of the city and for the freeing of the city’s traffic from tolls which have long burdened and hampered tt. — Certain influential interests allied with the Terminal combine, profiting by concessions from .it, by combinations with it and its kin- dred interests, or by its levies on St. Louis traffio have always stood with i and for tt and have opposed every effort to compel té to do justice. But these interests do not work for the welfare of St. Lows. They fatten on oppressions. _ With due respect for the Municipal Commissior. and giving full credit for all that it has accom- against the refusal of the Council to accept its conclusions. It is an advisory body. It was cre- ated for investigation and recommendation. What- ever success it has achieved was due not alone| to its negotiations but to the battle for justice waged by the press and people. An afoused public opinion and the recognition of its force by the railroads were the prime causes of terminal con- ‘cessions.. .If the advice of the Terminal Commis- ‘sion concerning the Ranken tract had been accept- “The Post-Dispatch adheres to its expressed opin- fon that all differences between the city and the lition of grade crossings are *c be ,constructed ae for vacated streets and, as a final douceur, the Esc ar, maipord alk anced Sb eee felléw officials and the public they are try- ing to serve with fidelity.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Incompetent Chauffeurs. To the Editor of the Post-Mispatch. Besides the danger from the youth and inexperience of chauffeurs, we have the danger from the drunken chauffeur—the man of no character. All chauffeurs and candidates for the duty of driving automobiles should be rigidly examined by a competent and re- sponsible committee. No one should be allowed to go up for examination unless 21 years of age or over. The examination should be as stiff as that for loco- motive engineer, and the character especially in re- gard to sobriety, should be one of the most important parts of the test. A READER. Enforce Sidewalk Cleaning Ordinance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Are the proprietors of vacant houses and those of empty lots exempt from the provisidns of the ordinance for cleaning sidewalks? -If not, why is this ordinance only enforced when ‘houses are inhabit- ed and lots built upon? Is it not the duty of the Street.Commissioner to see to it that the law in this regard is complied with? And if he is derelict in his duty, is it not the duty of the Mayor to see to it that his subordinate officers do their duty? I live on a “boulevard” between two vacant houses. I have to keep my sidewalk clean while on both sides the snow and ice accumulate until the thaw comes to turn both’ sides into slush. The snow, ice Or slush are constantly carried over the sidewalk. I am careful to keep clean, but without avail. The shame of it all! The impotence of our officers to perform such simple duties! H. W. K. Let Chauffeurs Signal at All Crossings. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If owners of automobiles would instruct chauffeurs to signal whenever they are approaching crossings or street intersections, it would prevent many acci- dents. If they wait to “honk’’ until they happen to see a pedestrian in actual danger, it may be too late. If signal was given in plenty of time before arriving at a crossing. all pedestrians about to cross would be warned. Chauffeurs could be made to obey this rule by threat of discharge, and owners could dis- cover by a little detective work if it was being obeyed. JAMES WINTER. Carthage as a Warning. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial today on the Carthage city water- works decision was well timed and to the point, and shows that, as in the past, the Post-Dispatch is on the alert when the people’s welfare is at stake, and more power to you say lL But what has happened at Carthage can happen to St. Louls and the owners of the St. Louis street-car lines, electric light and gas systems can, backed by some other pope of the laws (a Federal Judge, all powerful and infallible) deprive us of the use of the street cars, electric light and gas, as these are private properties, and under our law a relic of the Norman feudal law. Private property rights are before human life. Our city water supply is safe,as the St. Louis city water- works were built by and are operated for the people of St. Louis, which is why we get our water at a lower price than the people of Bast St. Louis, who are in the grasp of a private-owned water concern. The issue is clear and there are two things to be done: The people must, for their own protec- tion, own and operate their public utilities and the law must be made to conform to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and humanity pro- tected against property. It fs an issue like slav- ery, and who will be !ts Lincoln? Judge Philips has rendered the Dred Scott decision of pmnblic utilities and the Mayor of Carthage might have been its John Brown. SHAWN MACOLYN. Socialism and the Unions. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A member at one of our meetings read a clipping from the. Post-Dispatch by Archbishop Glennon on Socialism in its relation to labor unions. Another member read what Robert Hunter said on this sub- ject, and it was suggested that the Post-Dispatch be requested to publish the following, being the gist of Robert Hunter’s article on this subject. I will thank you for making it public. MAX STAPP. The American trade unions pride themselves on be- ing non-Socialist. “The German trade unions pride themselves on being Socialist. The American Feder- ation has about 1,500,000 members. The German Fed- ération has over 1,800,000 members. The national unions of America in 1908 spent in ben- efits $2,144,395; about $1,300,000 In death benefits: $593,- 541 in sick benefits; $51,000 in traveling benefits; $206,- 854 in unemployed benefits, ete. The German Soctal- ist unions the same year spent about $10,000,000, In 1907 $3,000,000 were spent in strike benefits. In 1908 $3,- 000,000 was spent in unemployed benefits: $2,000,000 more in sick benefits. And that year a $10,000,000 re- serve fund was left ever. vy Certainly the comparison ig not te the disadvantage of the German trade unions. In addition to trade unions the German workers have a@ political party. As a result the Government has been forced to do some things which the unions otherwise would have to de. Through fear of the Socialist party the great German insurance was es- tablished by the Government. Every workman ot Germany, therefore, knows that if he meets with an accident that incapacitates him for work he is going to receive a pension for the remainder of his life; that if he {s killed there is going to be a com- pensation paid to his wife and children; that if he falls sick he is going to receive compensation also, and finally, when he gets unable to work as a result of old age, that he will then be entitled to a pension. Every year the Government gives pensions to the workers of Germany amounting to over $100,000,000. Besides this general insurance, the party, in various places, has forced the municipalities to pension the unemployed, thus taking part of that burden off the trade union movement. All this has been accomplished by political activity. While the unions of England and America have been putting heavier and heavier burdens upon their mem- bers, political activity in Germany has been putting | heavier and heavier burdens on the state. Nor are these benefits the only ones that have been obtained through political action. The German: trade , . v | é Or, e4 WHAT MR. WICKERSHAM CAN DO. From the New York Worid. Attorney-General Wickersham says he had nobody “particularly in mind” when he told the Pennsylvania Socie- | ty that the Attorney-General “is con- stantly importuned to interfere with indictments or prosecutions, particu- larly in cases where proceedings are brought or threatened against per- sons of high social standing or of conspicuous political/or business po- sition.” Mr. Wickersham might have been thinking about the Sugar Trust or the Standard Oil Co.; but it is easy to believe that he was referring to no - special case. The fact is one of common knowledge and every prose- cuting officer is similarly. besieged. The more fmportant thing is Mr. Wickersham’s emphatic statement of the attitude of his department t- ward offenders; “That the prosécu- tien of crime cannot be properly in- fluenced by the wealth or position\ of the offender is of course axiomatic.” That has the true ring. If Mr. Wickersham adheres to it there is no reason why he should not retire from office with the reputation of having been one of the grertest and most useful of all the Attorneys-General. _—_— MR. HILL ON FARMING. From the New. York Evening Post. James J. Hill’s continued warnings about our failing food supply are really a plea for scientific farming. Intensive culture and the utilization of every ounce of energy stored up in food must make up for the increasing pressure of population and the diminishing areas of cheap and unoccupied land. MR.

COL: TODHUNTER OF MISSOURI .. SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTER. Col, Todhunter organizes a big public’ récep- tion for his friend, Col. * nik Strickland, urning to his Nineyah home from 8t. ouls after announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination Governor of Mis- sourl. At a barbecue-dinner given by the Nineveh Daughters of the Confederacy Col. Todhunter’ vigorously campaigns for Col. ‘*Bin’’ Striekland. earing that Tom Strick- land, drinking, has provoked Stamford Tucker into a dangerous quarrel, Col. Todhunter finds Tom in sa saloon and tries to avert a r- sonal encounter between the two. Col. Tod- hunter, campaigni in St. Louis for the on. Wm. J. Strickland, covers’ himself with glory. Sen Sim Birdsong elope with Miss Angelica xall, he has a terrifying experience with the girl’s mother. CHAPTER IX. © Col. Todhunter Takes the Stump in Rural. Missouri. - S a result of Col. Todhuntcr’s picturesque the Strickland campaign in St. Louis he was: unanimous- ly chosen by the Hon. Wil- liam J. Strickland’s man- ° agers to invade the Yancey strongholds throughout the State. “Todhunter's a champion vote-getter, Strickland,”’ said old Gov. Leslie, “and that’s a mighty rare gift. Any ordinary spellbinder can keep a candidate's own friends in line during a campaign, and get 'em to the polls on election day. But {t takes a man of uncommon qualities to steal friends away from the other fellow. Todhunter’s that sort of man. He’s a natural-born campaigner, and the sooner we put him right out on the firing line the better.” This fitted in admirably with Colonel’s own wishes. ‘T’'ll let ’em khow we're alive, any- way.” he commented. ‘I ain’t never been able to figure out more'n one sure way to win a fight, and that’s to crowd the other man from the jump, suh. Keep him guessin’ and dodgin’ every minute. The first thing you know. he’s retreatin’ and you’ré advancin’ and all the odds is in your favo:, suh. I won't like noth- in bettern to butt into them there Yancey counties, armed for the strife and eager for the fray, I—gad!” Old Gov. Leslie leaned back in his chair and laughed until his spare frame shook. . : “There’s your man, Strickland!’’ ‘he cried, flashing his eagle eyes approving- ly at Col. Todhunter. “We can’t get him out into the State too quick for the good of the cause!’’ “How soon can you take the stump, Thurg?” asked Col. Strickland. “Just the minute you-all drop the hat,”’ replied Col. Todhunter. “You can’t curry no héss by standin’ off and lookin’ at him, suh.”’ That same night, therefore. Col. Tod- hunter departed to cover his itinerary in the country districts. He headed straight for that section of Missouri where the Yencey strength reached its fullest tide. ‘Th’ ain’t nothin’ like carryin’ the war into Africa,”’ he said. ‘‘Them-there folks ain't married to old Steve Yancey, they just sorter perfer him, that’s all. Well, suh, by the time I get through tellin’ ‘em all about old Bill Strickland, maybe the sun won't rise and set in Steve Yancey every day in the week and. Sunday, too, suh!”’ And so potently did the Colonel ad- vance the fortunes of ‘the Hon. William J. Strickland by his characteristic campaign work that Maj. Busom Pi- per, the Yancey lieutenant in Vernon County, laughingly protested. This was at a county seat gathering where the Colonel had just, made a most formidable impression. “My friends,” said Maj. Piper, ‘I’m not saying anything against-Col. Thurs. T. Todhunter personally, but I want to warn you that he’s playing a mighty. underhanded game. He's telling too many good stories, my hearers, and it's when he sets you to laughing over them stories that he’s playin’ tricks with you. It’s a peculiar fact, but I notice that, while Col. Todhunter’s sto- ries seem mighty harmless on the sur- face, every one of ’em makes some kind of a point for William J. Strickland in an innocent sort of way. Now, my fel- low Democrats, I like a — story as well as any man in the world, but I put it to you that good stories ain’t argu- ments, and I don't intend to see you made unsettled in your minds without clear logical reasons being advanced. You just keep a grip on yourselves; my friends—we've promised the Hon. Ste- phen K. Yancey that he’ll get the ban- ner vote in Vernon County's long and honorable Democratic history!” “Oh, shucks now, Major, that’s crowd- in’ me too dadblamed hard, suh!’ laughed Col. Todhunter im the course of his reply. “TI leave it to all you Vernon County folks if the Major’s a-givin’ me fair play. Me and him ain’t had a chance to pow-wow together for four or five years, and it’s been longer'’n that since I had a chance to visit with you- all here in old Verrion. Besides, you oughtn't to give a man such good vittles to eat if you want to get rid of him— it ain't consistent!” Even Maj. Bulsom Piper,’ though shaking his head to express disapproval of such ous pleading, joined in the a which greeted this remark. the friends and fellow citizens.” re-. sumed Col. Todhunter, “I feel semper to tell you that my friend Maj to say about his nigger, Jim, the st chicken-thief in the whole coun- Jim’s weakness was always Judge in trouble with his . @ the SDS chat nee na Thigh: that r!’ old J say used to sa rin’ and down his ) a new scrape of

Bul- som Piper hauled Col: Todhunter over the coals, privately, for turning the joke on him in ‘such. a ‘manner, Col.. Tod- hunter only chué@xled, lingering lovingly over his mint-julep. . “I'll tell you one thing,.Major,’’ . he said. ‘‘You certainly got some dad- blamed fine mint patches here in Ver- ‘non, suh!’’ But it was at the big. barbecue in Dunklin County, where he met the re- doubtable Bedford Giles on the stump, that Col. Todhunter made himself fam- ous throughout the length and breadth of Missouri. Bedford Giles was probably the finest living example of the old schoo! of per- fervid political oratory that once 580 powerfully swayed the minds of men in the South and Middle West. It may be true that he lacked the sense of humor, but, offsetting this delinquency, he pos- sessed a sort of leonine earnestness that had never failed to score tremendously in the campaigns of which he was a conspicuous *gure, Against this man was Col. Todhunter pitted on the day of the barbecue, and the certainty of witnessing a great en- counter attracted to the scene of their meeting the biggest crowd ever assem- bled at a political gathering in that county. Enthusiasm was at fever heat. The fact that it was largely Yancey enthusiasm placed the Colonel at a de- cided disadvantage, but, instead of de- pressing his dauntless soul, this seemed rather to key him up to his best fight- ing mood. During the forenoon, as was not un- common, there had been a generous flow of good liquor. The orators of the day were naturally expected to give a sat- isfying account of themselves in dis- posing of this Democratic output. Both were seasoned veterans at the task, It; was a peculiarity of Bedford Giles, however, that when he reached a certain stage of exhilaration his mental horizon 30 Widened and his imagination took such wings to itself that his spellbind- ing eloquence soared more in the realm of fancy than of fact. His figures of speech became overwhelming in bold poesy of conception and application and, for the time being. the sonorous round- ing out of his excited thought into splendid sentences wads of far more im- portance in his estimation than the structure of truth upon which they were supposed to be based. His Missouri hearers enjoyed this phase of his ora- tory kenly—by the time he was primed to such gorgeous flights they, too, were similarly primed to accompatiy him. so that the conclu- sion of one of Bedford Gtles’ speech- es never failed to witness a scene of mnagnificent emotional proportions. Upon this occasion, mellow as a peach, Bedford Giles fairly outdid himself in his barbecue tribute to the virtues of the Hon. Stephen; K. Yancey. Now, in reality; Yancey was not a candidate-of the “‘magnetic’’ class. He had many friends, he was known as a steadfast party man, and it was conceded that he possessed a particularly shrewd knack of always “lining up"’ with the stronger faction in- party divisions, It requires more than these things, however, to make of a candidate one of those for- midable political figures for whom the party rank andfile delight to cheer for sheer “love and affection’s sake,’ as the old phrase has it. But Bedford Giles, the cockles of his heart generously warmed by liberal po- tations, idealized the Hon. Stephen K. Yancey, and the’ peroration of his speech was one of the finest and most typical examples of Gilesian eloquence. “IT am not. asking you, my fellow citi- zens,’ he declared sonorously, ‘‘to nom- inate Stephen K. Yancey to the proud office of chief executive of the imperial Commonwealth of Missouri at the sac- rifice of others equally deserving. No my friends, if this were the case, I should not feel the supreme confidence that I do now feel in your willingness thus to honor him, nor in the wisdom of our decision in his favor. But, fellow emocrats, I speak no more than the simple truth when I solemnly declare here and now, that the gentlemen com. peting with Stephen K.

Stephen K. Yancey before you today as the unrivaled prod- uct of a civilization, of a nation and of a people that have in their splendid conjunction produced the most odlike development of the race of man known in the world’s history, my hearers. Stephen K. Yancey, my fellow Mis- sourians, is more than a mere Demo- crat, high though that title may justly place him in the scale of human prog- ress. He-is the spotless Archangel of American Democracy. His garments are as pure as the driven snow, and his flaming sword of battle is the weapon of righteousness. His mind is the abid- ing place of political chastity and his soul cherishes the untainted thoughts of a sweet-minded child, or of those Ce- lestial cherubim who are the heavenly parallels of earthly infancy. And I say to you now, my fellow citizens, that when the mighty Gabriel with his awak- ening trumpet sounds that awful blast that shall summon us al! to the judg- ment bar for a final accounting, su- preme among the elect who shall rise on that great day and make answer to their records on the open scrolls of the recording angel, the .man without one mark to his discredit made by that an- gelic pen, the man not one jot or tittle afraid of the unfolding of those august registers, the man against whom may be pointed neither the accusing fingers of men or seraphim in condemnation for deeds of his ‘doing, wl be the Hon. Stephen K. Yancey of Jackson County, in whose behalf I now ask your votes at the approaching primaries. I thank you for your kind attention!’’ Col. Todhunter rose to. reply. Dismay was in his face. “My friends of Dunklin County,” he began, hesitatingly, “I hardly know what to say in reply to Mr. Bedford Giles’ magnificent tribute to the virtues of the Hon. Stephen K. Yancey, his can- didate for e Democratic nomination for.Governor of Mizzoorah.’’ Here the speaker paused, almost grop- ingly. Then he regumed. “Fellow citizéns,’’ he said. ‘You all know old Bil Strickland of Nineveh as well as I do.” One derisive hoot sounded from the outskirts of the crowd. The speaker seemed hurt, but not surprised. “And, knowin’ him,” he continued, “vou know as well as I do that he ain't fitten to run for office against no spot- less archangel.”’ A profound silence fell upon the as- semblage. Sadness rested on Col. Tod- hunter's, visage. “My hearers,’ he said, “I reckon I got to face the music and take my medi- cine like a man. Old Bill Strickland of Nineveh somehow don’t seem to stack up the right way against the Hon. Ste- phen K. Yancey of Jackson County.” ‘From somewhere in the heart of the crowd there came just one snort of -, y preciative laughter. It was quick strangled. ‘“T hate to confess it,’’ continued Col. Todhunter. “but old Bill Strickland ain't no Celestial cherub, neither, lIfke Bedford Giles describes the Hon. Ste- phen K. Yancey.” An apprehensive uneasiness crept into, the faces of the local Yancey managers on the speakers’ platform. “Fellow citizens.” spoke Col. Tod- hunter, “old Bill Strickland ain’t got no business settin’ tiimself up in opposition to a man who meets all the moral re- quirements of the’ heavenly seraphim, like Bedford Giles seys the Hon. Ste- phen K. Yancey meets ‘em. In the very front rows of the crowd facing the speaker broad smiles of hu- morous comprehension began to be visi- ble. “And old Bill Strickland ain’t got no business,” conceded Col. Todhunter, “askin’ you to give him your votes ‘stead of givin’ ‘em to a man that'll shine at the judgment bar on the. iast day, at the blowin of Gabriel’s horn, like Bedford Giles says the Hon. 8te- phen K. Yancey’s a-goin’ to shine.” “E-vow-wow-wow!” came a rapturous American whoop of tickled approval from the crowd. “aA man,” -sald Col. Todhunter, “who'll face the recordin’ angel hisself, without the flicker of an eyelash, secure in his consciousness of his own immac- ulate perfection.” sl A great under-wave of laughter, held in leash, swung po see oe through the confronting assembiage. And than Col. Todhunter rose to his ful) height of six feet, thrusting his right hand into the bosom of his ample- skirted coat. : “My friends,” he announced, “all I can say in excuse for old Bill Strickland is that he thought he was runnin’ against just a plain human bein’ for -ithe Democratic nomination for Governor Mizzoorgh. of eteniy he bowed his head, threw | hands deprecataingly, and then rift a his eyes mournfully as he stood more erect. ne liow Democrats,” he cried, “T hereby announce the withdrawal of the race, Si i wien eats that th He ge gets in age: of the Hon. , on Mr. Yancey juat’ gives

py Ju Dee. 1%.—The Rev. | | Decisive Clash Between Zelaya and. Rebel Forces Believed | her Be Imminent. ‘| JINGO SPEECH IS MADE Zelaya Follower Urges Armed Resistance if Marines Are Landed at Corinto. By Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. 16.—Tel- egraphic communication with Rama was re-established today. It is official- ly announced that the city has not been taken by the Government troops. The two armies face each other, but no bat- tle has been fought. It is believed that one is imminent. This disposes of the rumor which had been in wide circulation for three days that an engagement had occurred at Rama, during which the Government troops had defeated the insurgents, and captured Gen, Estrada, the head of the rebellion. It is believed there was an ulterior motive behind this false re- port. As a sequel-to the recent rioting, when the Mayor of Managua sought to restrain the police from making whole- sale arrests, e Mayor himself was arrested yesterday. Subsequently he was released. Congress met again last night, and the session was the oceasion of a pro- Zelaya. demonstration that apparently had been made to order. Deputy Man- uel Matus delivered a “jingo’’ speech, urging arined resistance in the event that United. States marines were landed at Corinto. The suggestion was receiv- ted with such demonstrative applause as to arouse a strong suspicion that the Government had organized an efficient claque. Transport Pratrie Again On Way. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.—The trans- port Prairie with 700 marines and 600,- 000 rounds of ammunition on board to- day made its second start for Colon. On Dec. 2 the Prairie, with a like cargo, started for the same pert, but when about 40 miles down the Delaware River the vessel stuck in tne mud of the Pea Patch Island and remained there nearly 10 days. Madris Opposed for President. NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 16.—Promi- nent Nicaraguans here who are in sym- pathy with the revolutionists ia their country express distinct disapproval of the possible succession of Madriz to the presidency of Nicaragua. According to those here in touch with Zelaya, he will, without doubt, resign from the presi- Gency Saturday and Madriz will be fnamed.to succeed him. Albany’s Ammunition Lifts Leaded. 1: CORINTO, Dec. 16.—A. brawl occurred in the street-last night during which a Tghip’s messenger from the United States cruiser Albany was forced off the side- walk by a Nicaraguan sentry.. The in- cident was forthwith reported to the commandant of the port,. who im- mediately tendered an apology to Com- mander Oliver of the Albany. The apology was accepted. Commander Oliver has ordered his men at quarters at night. The ammunition lifts of the Albany are loaded. The harbor is quiet today.

Eskimo Carried the Wheelbarrow. References to the child-like innocence of the “Farthest North’’ people in cur- rent polar news recalls stories told by Capt. Parish of his winter on the Green- land coast in 1873. A wheelbarrow that was traded for ivory and furs worth be- tween $000 and $1000 was used as a means of transportation, but instead of being trundled it was carried on the head of an Eskimo, with the passenger sitting in it. A member of the crew, taking advan- tage of the sweet tooth of the Eskimo, increased his wealth by trading off six cans of Dr. Lyon’s Tooth Powder. The beautiful wintergreen odor and decid- edly demulcent effect rising from the Eskimo’s stew, in which all the powder had been thrown for seasoning, was hardly appetizing as a meat course, though it has been a favorite with re- fined people for nearly half a century fer other purposes. Old Soldier Inherits Title. SANTA MONICA, Cal, Dec. 16.—Maj. W. H. Heistand, an inmate of the Sol- diers’ Home at Sawtelle, has fallen heir to the title and estate of Baron Kar! Frederick Heistand, his puncle, who died recently near Karistadt, Bavaria. The estate fs said to be worth $60,000 “Unele Sam’s Military Strength.

GIRL DISMISSES. SWEETHEART AND HE ENDS lS LIFE Edward Weismueller Writes Josephine Gulli a Fare- well Letter. | An inquest will be held Thursday into the death of Edward Weismueller, 21 years old, of 3423 Pennsylvania avenue, who killed himself by swallowing car- bolic acid at 8 o’clock Wednesday even- ing, 15 minutes after Josephine Gulli of 3110 Oregon avenue, 16 years old, had told him that she would not accept his attentions any more. The youth had been out of work for two months. A few days ago he re- marked to his sister, Miss Viola Weis- mueller, that he would not be able to give any Christmas presents to Miss Gulli this year. Weismueller had been devoted to Jose- phine Gulli for three years, although her parents did not approve of him, and did not permit him to visit her in her home. Wednesday evening, accord- ing to a statement made Thursday by Miss Gulli, he met her in the rear of her home. She told him she couldn’t re- ceive him any more if he did not work. He said, “All right. Good-by. You won’t see me any more.” Miss Gulli said she had not thought of marrying Weismueller because she was too young. After leaving Miss Gulli, Weismueller went to a near-by saloon and wrote notes to his r other and the girl A few minutes later he staggered into the grocery of Hermar Hagedorn, 3124 Cal- ifornia avenue, and said he had taken ecarbolic acid. He died shortly after the arrival of Dr. Buchanan of 314 Cali- fornia avenue. The note to Josephine read: ‘Josie, this ie all your fault. I did this after we had been going together three years. Hoping you have a happy life, your sweetheart, ED.” His letter to his mother was: “Dear Mother: I thought I would write you a few lines to ask you to please forgive me for doing this. I did not do this on your account. I did this because Josie said . did not like her any more, and I caught her talking to other fellows. I hope Josie gets a better man than I was and lives a happy life. I am very sorry I could not show her a good enough time, though, mother, I have shown Josie as good a time as any fel- low could, but she was not satisfied. This is all I have to say. Hoping you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, your son, ED.” LAYMEN CONDUCT A MISSION WITHOUT AID OF A MINISTER

ates eee FOUNTAINS TQ TAKE PLACE OF DRINKING CUPS Superintendent Blewett Plans to Avoid Transmission of Disease.

Children in the public schools of St. Louis are to imitate the attitude of little birds staring upwards with mouths gap- ing for food, if Supt. Ben Blewett gets his new-fangled drinking fountains in- stalled. Prof. Blewett is -not.quite clear az to the mechanism of the fountains, of which he has read a description some- where, but he says the children will hold their mouths wide open unaer faucets while streams of water trickle down their throats. There will be no need of cups, he as- serts, and the faucets will be too high for the drinkers to touch them with their lips. The flow of water will be so slow that there will be little danger of drenching the children’s pinafores and knickerbockers or of their choking as they drink, or of the water overflowing their mouths. Like Dr. A. A. McBrien, Health Com- missioner of Eaat St. Louis, Prof. Blew- ett believes that public drinking cups in schools are means for the transmission of disease. Dr. McBrien has asked the Board of Education of East St. Louls to indorse an order that all pupils shal! provide themselves with private cups. Prof. Blewett does not advise private. cups, as he says they would have to lie about in the children’s desks, exposed to germs and dust. He fears the pupils could not withstand the temptation to rattle the cups for the edification of ‘teacher’ and themselves. The Board of Education, he says, is planning to institute a lavatory depart- ment by which the problem of hygienic drinking water will be considered. To tris Board he will recommend the adop- tion of the new founteins.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 16.—A_ spe- cial election is being held here today to decide whether the Metropolitan Street Car Co., which controls the traction rights of the city, is to have its fran-

M. SATURDAY Attention. : The work of three laymen, P. W. Harsh, F. O. White and J. F. Merry- man, has been attracting attention to the Page Avenue Heights Mission, on Chatham avenue, north of Page avenue, which they have been conducting with- out the aid of a minister. They started it last summer and have been running it on undenominational lines. They and their assistants carry on a Sunday morning Bible school, an evening preaching service, and a midweek meeting. Mr. Harsh takes care of the preaching services, Mr. White is super- intendent of the Sunday school and Mr, Merryman is the Bible teacher. Recent- ly the mission sent $21.60 to the Cherry mine sufferers and distress also has been alleviated in the neighborhood. A Christmas carol service is being planned for Sunday evening, Dec. 2%, and a Chsistmas tree for Tuesday evening, Deg. 2%. Good music is a special feature of all their services. They invite the public to attend.

and six for 2% cents. The opponents of the franchise argue, however, that the potency of this concession is déstroyed by another clause, which, in referring to the city’s right to reduce fares before 192%, provides that “all existing rights, both of the city and the company, are in this regard hereby expressly reserved and remain unaffected by the contract.’’ It is argued that as the city has never reduced fares in the present franchise it has not -the right, and could not enforce the modification promised before 1825 SE The Beautiful Hair of English Women.
