Leopold's Rule in Congo Aroused World's Protest

They were followed soon by His Majesty's intimate friend, Baroness ‘Vaughan. , ‘The municipal theaters will be at rd | for a time. The’ court will go into mourning for six months, while the period of mourning for the household will continue for one year. This forenoon M. J. Davignon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, officially notified the sovereigns and chiefs of state of Europe of the death of Leopold Il., King of the Belgians, Telegrams of condolence were early received from King Edward and Queen Alexandra, Emperor William, King Al- fonso, Emperor Francis’ Joseph, King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena, President Fallieres of France and Pope Pius X. The Pontiff has ordered a re- quiem mass. Hundreds of other telegrams of sym- pathy and regard have reached the pal- ace. The sittings of the courts have been suspended until the new King shall have received the crown. Baron Goffinet has intrusted the King’s will | to the custody of the courts. Was Born in 1835; Leopold Louis Philippe Marie Victor, Fing of the Belgians, was born in 1835 and succeeded to the crown on the death of his father, King-Weopold I, in 1865. Although possessins; creat gentility of manner and being a fluent and affabie conversationalist, "e was reputed to be the most profligate and scene tar king in Europe. His reign was marked by many scan- dals in state and family affairs. The monarch’s Congo policy, whereby, trav- elers have declared, the natives in afr.- rica were reduced to a state of slav- ery to further King Leopeld’s rubber in- terests, at one time threatened to cause his abdication. Popular censure re- sulted in rumors seven years ago that he was about to quit the Belgian throne in favor of the Crown Prince, Albert. Throughout his life as a ruler, Leo- } pold invariably failed to inspire con- fidence and close friend: hip of men of rank who were thrown in contact with him. His face and character were re- pellant, although he endeavored to be popular. Lacking his father’s astute wisdom, Leepdld further crred in his acts of state through lack of development of | Uwe softer qualities of nature. Unhappy ‘domestic entangiements Prevented him medi-'} acquiring: these qualities, probably, even Ky. eis Se ap rubetitute f for | Tae Se BP in his later years. While still Duke of Brabant, Leo pointed the need of Belgium’s seo sion of sovereignty beyond the seas. In futherance of his ideas, he founded in IS%6 the Association Internationale Afri- caine. This was followed in two years by the Comite d'Etudes dy Haut Congo ‘which, in turn, de

The Congo, then as now, was rich in rubber and ivory, Leopold’s acquisition of this rich country was accompanied | by promises of Mbérty’ and uplift to the natives. According to the Beigian King, he was to be a “white father’, to the blacks and his rule in «he Congo was to spread Christian enlightenment. Shortly after his power in the GYstrict became absolute, Leopold put rifles in the hands of 30,000 native cannibals and with these savage retainers the more peaceful natives were forced into sub- jection to Leopold. From each Congo villege a certain amount of rubber an- nually was demanded, in exchange for cheap gew-gaws and calico, If the vil- lagers failed to bring the requisite amount of rubber to the trading posts, the cannibals were turned upon the vil- lage, children were maimea, men were eaten and women enslaved. Leopold was an excellent linguist and an extensive traveler. As a patron of -art end literature, in 1874 he founded a prize of @%,C00 frances for the best work on a giveu subject, announced five years in advance. He was a second cousin of King Edward of England and in 1853 he married Marie Henrietta, daughter of Archduke Joseph of Austria. Daughter Eloped. The pall ef tragedy and the brighter- hued: fabric of scandal that covered King Leopold’s life from the time of his ascension to the throne, spread to the remotest members of the royal family. Every member. has felt the touch of sorrow or the rebuke of all Europe. Leopold’s oldest daughter, Princess Louise, was: married in 1875 to Prince Philip and shortly afterward eloped with a Hungarian lieutenant of caval- ry. They lived together on the Riviera until the Lieutenant was sentenced to penal servitude for forging the name of his inomorata’s sister, Princess Stephanie, to a cheok. Princess Louise was then thrust into an insane asylum and after sevéral institutions had re- fused to declare her a lunatic, she was kept a prisoner in a private asylum for eight years, until her Lieutenant lover's release from prison. Pawned Queen's Jewels. Then, to support herself and consort, Princess Louise pawned her dead queen- mother’s jewels. The jewels were placed on exhibition and advertised for sale at auction, but Leopold redeemed them be- fore they could be exploited. ‘rincess Stephanie, ahother of Leo- pold’s daughters, incurred her father’s roe by her mafriage to famsore

Detectives Hannegan, Wardenski, Lal- ly and Kilker will receive $100 each, and the other $100 will go-to. the Police Re- lief Fund, if the Police Board ratifies the plans of Chief Smith.

Absolute prohibition of the manufac- ture of pistols and revolvers was urged by Judge Franklin Ferriss in his address before St. Peter's Club in its monthly banquet at st. Peter’s Episcopal Church. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Judge Ferriss explained Thursday that he considered the revolver an unnecessary weapon, made wholly for the purpose of killing or maiming men. “Men do not carry revolvers for pro- lection against animals,’’ he said, ‘“‘but to use against men, either offensively or defensively. Many men protest that -} they do not want to carry weapons, but they have to in self-defense. If it were made impossible to get them, thus cutting off their use for offense, they would not be needed for defense. Right te Prohibit Manufacture. “If the State has the right to pro- hibit the manufacture and sale of liq- uor, because of its general tendency to preduce crime and poverty, and in spite of the fact that to some users it is harmless, and if the State has the right to prohibit the sale of poisons, which have many legitimate uses, then surely the State has the right te pro- hibit the manufacture of concealable deadly weapons.”’ Judge Ferriss, in his banquet address} Tuesday night, quoted from an editorial published in the Post-Dispatch Jan. 1, 1907, on the record of 59 shootings, stab- bings, suicides and accidental wound- ings in the three days before that date. He also said that, during his service on the criminal bench, he tried but one case in which the defendant had deliberately gone after a weapon with which to wound another. In all the other cases it appeared that the weapon had been used beegause the user hap- pened to have it with him. Judge Ferriss further developed his subject, “Crime,” by epeaking of the need for better methods of reforming criminals. Prisons Make Criminals. “At present,” he said, “to send a man to the penitentiary is practic- ally to make him a criminal for life, although he may not be a criminal— may have committed only,a single bad act on sudden impulse.” The accept- ed method is to imprison him for the protection of society and to deter others, and this method may be the only one possible, but its effect on the man himself is generally bad. “One thing which tends to degrade prisoners is the lack of hope. They feel that, once having been convicts, their lives are ruined. If there could be some system by which men leaving prison could be graded as to the de- gree in which they merit confidence, and if these marks could'\be made to count for something in getting them employment, the element of hope would be introduced into prison life. Much more could be done than is now done in the matter of teaching use- ful trades to prisoners.” The Rev. D. C. Garrett, rector of St. Peter’s, made a few remarks of his own on “‘Crime’”’ in introducing Judge Fer- riss. He denounced a class of plays and of posters advertis..g them as cause of crime. He said conditions in St. Louis were worse in this respect than they had ever been i:: Chicago. “JT will adiait,” he said, “that I have not seen the shows, but I agree with those who hold that one need not see Hell to warn others against it.’’ Patek-Phillipe, the - world’s finest Watches for ladies and gentlemen: prices, from $120.00 to $860.00; for sale at “JACCARD’S,” Broadway, cor.

The articles ef incorporation se: forth that t!e hospital “shall not be conducted for pecuniary gain but fer the sake of Jesus Christ, who died te save men.” The Rev. Dr. S. J. Niccolls is presi- dent, the Fev. Dr. J. Layton Mauze, secretary, and Ben F. Edwards, treas- urer. Others connected with it and who | pétition the court for a charter are 5. M: Dodd, Andred M.

{WILL LEAVE COUNTRY

Madriz, His Choice for Suc- cessor, Is on His Way to the Capital.

By Associated Press MANAGUA, Nicaragua, President Zelaya, after sending his resignation to Congress, last night cabled a conciliatory message to Presi- dent Taft, saying that he had shown his good faith by retiring in order that Nicaragua might resume friendly rela- tions with the United States. He added that he proposed to leave the country, but stood ready to account for his acts as President. ' The full text of the cablegram ad- dressed to the President is as follows: Dec. On Dec. 4, I cabled to Washington this message: “Secretary Knox: I believe the sources of your information are prejudiced and request that the United States send a commission of investigation. If its findings show my administration to be detrimental to Central America I will resign.” I have received no reply. To avoid harm to my country and desiring that it shall renew friendly relations with the United States, I have today sent my resignation to Congress; As my opponents consider my presence @ disturbing factor, I propose to’ show my good faith by leaving Nicaragua. I stand ready to account for my acts. United States Vice-Consul Henry H. Leonard, stationed at Corinto, arrived here today to assist Acting Consul Cal- dera, . |!

PRIEST ATTEMPTS TO “MAN HE. ATTACKED FROM MAKING COMPARISON Efforts Made to Strike Out State-

ment That He Outweighed Gil- liam and Had Bodyguard. Former Judge Henry 8. Priest, wher he goes to trial on a charge of assault- ing Attorney John A. Gilliam, does not wish the Court to te reminded that he is three Inches taller, five years younge: and 60 pounds heavier than his victim Attorneys for the United Railway law yer, in a motion filed Friday in Judge Homer's court, ask that the enumerati). these comparative statistics b. stricken from Gilliam’s petition for dam ages. Priest also wishes the Court to tak: no cognizance of the fact that he was supported, at the time of the assault. by the presence of two grown sons an? six employes, who were with him in Judge Mutench’s courtroom.

MAJ.B. VON PHU ATLL IMSEEE Pretends to Take a Bath, but Fires Fatal Bullet Instead. LIVED IN THE BERLIN Investment Broker Had Been Treated by Physician for Sleeplessness. Preferring eternal sleep to a life of sleeplessness, Maj. Ben von Phul, mem- ber of a noted and once wealthy st. Louis family, shot himself in the: tem- ple while in the bathroom of his apart- ments at the Berlin Hotel, 45 North Taylor avenue, shortly before midnight. He was dead when the door was forced open. His physician, relatives and friends say that is the only known reason for the suicide. A search of the Von Phul apartments failed to reveal any note of explanation. Maj. von Phul was 6 years old and had a realty and investment brokerage office in the Lincoln Trust Building. Several years ago he lost a consider- able fortune in mining operations, his principal loss being in property known as the Silver Age mine in Colorado, Diverced From First Wife. His first wife, from whom he was di- vorced, now lives at Cripple Creek with their two sons.

She had lived in St. Louls for some time before the mar- riage, which was not made public until she and her husband went--teo New York nearly a month after the. cere- mony was performed in St. Louis. Dr. L. P, Butler said Friday that he had been treating Mej. von Phul for an aggravated case,of insomnia for several months. Thursday evening he said to his wife that he was going into the bathroom across the hal from their apartments. ‘“‘Maybe a hot bath will enable me tn sleep,’’ he said.

with her to eat, only to have her put us away, shake her beautiful head and cry out pitifully that she didn’t want to live, but to please let her go to heaven, where she believed Fletcher was. “We had many physicians, as is well known. They all say she had no chronic ‘disorder, That is true. Her only trouble we: heart sickness and that at last brought on mental sickness from which she could not recover. “The suicide notes found in my room at the Bayard were all samples of what she was doing in all the past months. They were all found under her pillow at different times. I have at leait | twenty-five letters of the same char- acter. “Do you believe that if I or my sts- ters were guilty of crime that we would keep such evidence, so easy to destroy? We may be old and foolish women, but we certainly are not so crazy as that would: prove us te be. “Our crime it appears has been that of being poor. But we were not always so, only when we ‘changed our state, our friends also decided to change their acquaintance—such is the way of hu- man nature, “My daughter, Ocey Snead—you will note I call her my daughter, for I have been asked if she were really my daugh- ter—was born in the city of New York, in Murray Hill. The house was at 37 East Thirty-ninth street. My husband made $20,000 a year. Across the street from us lived Banker Colgate. Next door was Mrs. Winslow of soothing syrup fame and fortune. “Ocey was educated in the Convent of the Sacred Heart and later in the school for girls conducted by Sylvanus Reed. She was: educated to become the head of a young ladies’ seminary in the South that my sister had conducted so suc- cessfull?. We did not wish her to do hard work. We intended that she should live in the drawing room. Then came the financial panic, and the men of our family went crashing to the wall. Our dream of splendor was over. Our little girl’s destiny was changed. ‘Leve Won by Cousin. “Then Fletcher Snead proposed to her. She had known him since childhood. They had played together at the same grandmother’s home.

replied ‘No, no! I don’t want to marry anybody. I am geing to be a teacher.’ Finally he won her love and, after their first child was born, her complete adora- tion. ‘With regard to Fleteher’s first wife, I want to state that the reason for their separation was the fact that she was much older than. he, and there was con- stant friction with her family. I do not wish to be harsh, but our family al- ways believed that she and her sister looked upon ‘those Snead boys,’ as they were called, asa pretty good thing for two old- maids to marry and-they were simply “roped in.’ “In this connection I-can throw some light on the insurance carried by Fletch- er. Much has been said about a ‘mys- terious’ Senator McLaurin, who is the mneficiary in these polictes. This man Rufus H. McLaurin, his former. broth- ef-in-law, who Was chiefly instrumental in separating the wedded couple. “There was a law suit instigated against Fletcher by this man, in which the wife sided with the family. The divorce followed, and Fletcher Snead sold all of his policies outright to her brother for $900, thus making him the beneficiary. So you see the insurance of Fletcher, which McLaurin pays for, would hardly be’ beneficial to us. Explains Various Wills. “IT will now speak of the various wills of Ocey that so much has been made of the public. Her first will was made to cover some property in Kentucky in favor of her grandmother. This prop- erty was sold,:thus nullifying the will. The second will’was to cover some prop- erty ih Virginia, which was also sold. “The third will was made whén it was feared she might die after the birth of her baby. She did not wish that the family of Fietcher’s first wife might in any way benefit from her death. With Fletcher missing, a part of her estate would go to his son by this wife unless she provided other- wise. It was necessary to draw the fourth and following wills on account of the changes made by the lawyer, Carraba. “I believe the changes made _ in the will were never made at the dictation of Ocey. He never was alone in the room with her. I did take $ from him, it is true, but only as a loan, anda ne got a receipt. We never. heard of the man Schwartzgmann. The man whom he brought with him to our home he called Black. Were Married Twice. “In all of these wills Ocey’s grand- mother was made the beneficiary, to- gether with the child. To each of the documents there was a caréfully- drawn memorandum of instructions to my mother regarding the bringing up of the child, and incorporated as part of Gte will. “And now again about that life in- surance, that seems to have made such apparent monsters of all of us. We didn’t want Ocey’s. life insurance. We did all in our power to get the child to live and be’ our Httle girl. When our money dwindled and dwindled, we tried our best to get a cash surrender value on all her policies, in order that they might not’ be any further drain upon us “My mother finally took the matter up and we received in a reply a letter from President Kingsley of the New York Insurance Co, that the only thing to do to get rid of them was to let them lapse, as they had already been bor- rowed on to the limit. We took these policies out when Wwe had plenty of money and when we were all of us an easy mark for insurance agents. “I do not care to discuss what I have been doing since my child died. I have

Thomas Parnwell, 55 years old, an En- glishman, and Mrs. Rosa Parnwell, 27, his Italian wife, and Leo Span, 27, also an Italian, a friend of the Parnwells, are in the holdover at the Central Dis- trict Police Station, accused of shop- lifting. Emma Ward, 13 years old, Is held in the detention room as a witness against them. Warrants were issued Friday after- noon against both the Parnwells and charging them with petit lar- Span, ceny. The arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Parnwell and the child at the Grand-Leader at 5 o'clock Thursday evening by House De- tective Steele brought to light a tangled story. The Parnwells came here a week ago from their farm at Barnhart, Mo., os- tensibly to do Christmas shopping. They brought with them Emma Ward; the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ward. They have been stopping at 913 North Fourteenth street, where Span resides. He is from Kimmswick, Mo. He knew Parnwell and his present wife in New York four years ago, and renewed the acquaintance at Barnhart after Parn- well, according to -the woman, had brought her out here to get her away from his son Harry, to whom she was engaged, and prevailed upon her to mar- ry him instead. Span has been in St. Louls for some time. He swallowed carbolie ‘acid two weeks ago. Mrs. ParnWell says it was because she,-would not leave her husband ané@ marty Span. Bags Full of Goods. Parnwells and the child were arrested, Mrs. Parnwell and Emma were carrying big brown shopping bags. Steele says Parnwell was putting some articles in Mrs. Parnwell’s bag. At the police station the bags were found to contain a pair of slippers, a purse, four silk mufflers, two veils, a clock, a ring, two neck chains, three breastpins and six neckties. “IT knew this was what would hap- pen,” the child sobbed. “What will my mamma say?’ She told the police if they would go to. 918 North Fourteenth street they would find more stolen goods. Muffs, collarettes, embroideries, silk and jew- elry were found there. Leo Span was in the house. He said he was Mrs. Parn- well’s brotber. He was arrested. HBmma Ward told Lieut. Hess how the Parnwells had brought her to St. Louis and tried to get her to steal, how she had refused and how they had got her to go along by a ruse.

well, the girl said, unfolded, a plan Monday whereby they could get a lot of Christmas presents. She showed Emma how to hold a shopping bag on her arms so that she could open it quickly. They would take her to @ store and stand close about her exam- ining goods while she slipped things into the bag. She refused. ‘You little rummie,”” she says Mrs. Parnwell de- clared, ‘““‘you never will amount to any- thing.”’ Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Parnwell and Span went out. They brought a lot of goods home. Wednesday Mrs. Parn- well tried again to get the girl to go. Bhe again: refused. The two men went out that day. Each Accuses the Other. Thursday Mrs. Parnwell told Emma they were going shopping. Emma asked her if they were going to steal and she gaid they were not. They went to the Famous; the Knox 10-cent store and the Grand-Leader.. At each place the child says articles were/stolen and put in the bags carried by her and Mrs. Parnwell. She says Span was with them,. but that he slipped away when the others. were arrested. Mrs. Parn- well says her husband did all the steal- ing. ‘Why, he even stole me,’’ she said, and then she told how she was wooed in New _ York. Parnwell says his wife did all the stealing at the stores. - He asserts that his sort-is married in Pittsburg. Leo Shan denies that hé had any part in the thefts.

Do You Use Themt If Not, Why? DYSPEPSIA is the skeleton at the feast; the death’s head at the festive board. It turns cheer into cheerless- ness, gaiety into gloom and festivity into farce. "it is the ghost in the home, haunting every room and hitting at every fireplace, making, otherwise mer- ry people shudder and fear. If there is one disease mere than another that rey be promptly attacked and worst- , it is DYSPEPSIA. It is the very ye Hed of unhappiness, unrest and ijl nature. In time it will turn the best man. almost into a demon. of. temper and make a good woman something to be dreaded and avoided. It is estimated that’ half of ones troubles in this world comes of a stom- ach gone wrong—of Dyspepsia, ‘in short.

It is irritated and vexed, pained and annoyed, and in a little while this state of things becomes general and directly there is “some- thing bad to pay.” The whole system is in a state of rebellion and yearns to do something rash and cangrecabile, and a fine case of Dyspepsi estab- lished and opens up for business. \ If you were bitten by a mad dog, you would not lose a day in goin @ cure; do you know you houll’ ba be jus, as prompt with Dyspepsia?

STUART COMPANY the other, and it ie no longer a secret, as it is: made public in the wonderful Tablet, which so many are using and praising today.

DOES LIVE WHERE SHE |° CATS OR SLEEPS This Point Is Raised in Mrs. Robert C. Carr’s Suit for Divorce, ¢ HOUSE ON CITY LINE ‘Manicure Bride” Testifies She Sleeps in St. Louis, but Eats in the County. a cere en Judge Kinsey has a new point of law to solve 4n the ‘divorce case of Mrs. Edith Callen Carr against Robert C. Carr, scion of an old St. Louis family. It involves the question as to whether Mrs. Carr is a legal resident of St. Louis when only five feet of her bed- room is in the city, and the remainder is in St. Louls County. Mrs. Carr lives at the home of her father, L. S. Callen, 6118 North Market street. The county line runs through the Callen property, but according to a plat of the place filed ir the divorce case, five feet of the house is in the city. Sleeps in City, Bats in County. The question of Mfs. Carr’s residence was raised by her hfband’s attorney, Breckinridge Long, in an attack on the jurisdiction of the St. Louis court in the divorce case. Mr. Long claimed the suit should have been brought in 6t. Louis County. Mrs. Carr testified. that her bedroom is on the city side of the house and that she has her bed so placed that she s)eeps in 8t. Louis. This fact her lawyer, Claud D. Hall, contended, made her a resident of the city. It was Drought out that the Callens and Mrs. Carr dine on the county side of the house. This point may be con- Case.” Brother Votes in the County. Mrs. Carr’s brother admitted on the stand shat he’ vores in, the county. He added that at the general election in 41908 Mr: Carr, who was living at the house, voted in St. Louts. “I know that because he remarked that there would be four votes in the house for Bryan and that he was going to cast his vote in the city,’’ the witness said, Carr ts resisting the sult to avoid alimony. His attorney attempted to show that he was not in full possession of his faculties at the time of his mar- riage, but this was ruled out. Carr is a son of the late C. Bent Carr, who gave Carr Park to St. Louls. He and Miss Callen were married at Clay- ton Feb. 7, 1908, at 3 a. m. She was a manicure at the time and at. present is manicure at the Planters’ Hotel. She x ee he did not support her. CARNIVAL ENDS AT ST. MARK’S WITH AUCTION Children Insist on Santa Claus Showing That He Is Not a Nature Fake. Girls in Japanese kimonos and girls in rustic gingham, youths masquerading in “Uncle Si” whisker-foliage and youths acting as muleteers, a donkey, a Santa Claus, and @ cross-roads store are some of the features of the suc- cessful garnival week which ends F'ri- day night, at the new St. Mark's School, Page boulevard and Academy avenue. The closing night ends with dancing, songs, addresses and a wind-up sale of the bargains remaining at the various booths. It was hoped that the carnival! would raise $3000 toward the indebted- ness on-the school building. Up to Fri- day morning 96000 had been realized. The school, which is under the manage- ment of the Dominican Sisters, is in the parish of St. Mark’s Church, of which the Rév. Father Patrick J. O’ Rourke is pastor. The carnival reached its climax of fun and frolic Thursday evening, whieh was “children’s night.” About five hundred children attended and probably ‘one thou- sand adults. | These children, born in a skeptical age, insisted that a Santa Claus who was present should “show” them.

\& CONFESSION OF. IMBECILITY. , % - The notion that it is useless to attempt and bet- terment of the city’s terminal facilities except on terms fixed by the terminal monopoly is mis- ‘chievous in itself, and, if acted upon, will establish _ & dangerous precedent. Y = It a great community cannot act freely within - There has been too much yielding before the . chirents of monopoly in this country. Great as is the power of these franchised companies, they : an never get the Federal, State or city govern- - ments completely at their mercy.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, In ‘answer to Mrs. Nettie Knoble, if you will go to the Humane Society and give name and address of that inhuman monster who tied that horse’s legs and head to the wagon and left it out in the rain to suf- fer, then tried to kill it himself, he certainly will be dealt with by the law, for that act of brutal cruelty Was a felony. Do, for the sake of the suffering, helpless animals, report him. Mr. Monahan is a true friend to animals and he is a humane officer, in Com- mercial Building. MRS. MARGARET.

Parcels Post and High Prices. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - If we had a parcels post such as Great Britain en- joys, farmers and raisers of all kinds of country produce could send their stuff direct to city custom- ers and get a good profit without the aid of the mid- dlemen. It would pay the country produce raiser to advertise his produce in the city newspapers and in that way get a good lot of customers. Both sides to the transaction would benefit. Everyone who can do so should work for a parcels post law. CITY CONSUMER. Paramount Value of Human Life. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The death of our fellow-citizen, Theodore Ballard, will not be entirely ‘devoid of compensating value to those yét living and who have thus far escaped the modern motor-propelled juggernaut if the circum- stances rouses public Indignation to the point where the law will assert itself. It is comforting to us poor people who know that Mr. Ballard’s prominence will cause a transitory recognition of the principle that human Hfe has prior rights before the law to proper- ty. We do have an occasional lucid moment. J, J. D. Too Fantastic. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, _ Your rightly styled ‘“‘fantastic’ idea on trial divorces would no doubt be highly commendable and appre- ciated by man (the dear boy really needs diversions), but What about woman? For instance, a mother, who dearly loves her children, no matter how tired and monotonous her daily routine; at the ‘“‘trial,’’ can she cast all aside? Never! And if not, where would the so-classed ‘‘freedom’’ begin? ‘‘Small spats’’ ae small indeed in comparison to the limitations thi t would be hers. Try again; dear Mr. Editor; you a: * wrong. MRS. A. N. Bring the Museum to the People, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. : The “access to the Art Museum” question will never be séttled until it is settled right. The propo- sition to provide wagons for free riding to the Mu- seum from the principal entrances, is childish. They would never be where wanted. Enough to carry the average daily attendance would not answer on pleas- ant days, nor when there were special attractions, and any would be too many on many days. Ten thousand dollars a year could easily be spent in such a way, without giving satisfactory service to the public. > The right way to give the people easy access to the museum is to move it bodily to the De Baliviere entrance to the park, which is reached by a 5-cent fare from any part of the city. It should be the em- bellishing feature of the shore of a large and beauti- ful Jake, excavated in the level ground, the site of the World's Fair. Fifty thousand dollars would move the Museum and would be money well spent. W. 8S. STUY VESANT. New Forms of Yea and Nay. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. No doubt there are others who have noticed that ‘In our system of public school training, under lady teachems, many children are taught to answer, “Yes, Ma’am,”’ to such an extent that they answer in that way to men and women alike. The factor of repe- tition gets in its work, often in spite of persistent corrections and the child is bewildered on account of a little hitch, which is quite easily correctable. Would it not be better to instruct the child to say, “Oh, yes,” and ‘Oh, no,” as the case may be, in- stead of the cumbersome, “Yes, sir.’ and ‘“‘No, Ma’am?’” When said with a varying modulation or inflection, this form can be made quite expressive of the different shades of meaning and is pleasing ind satisfying The language is already overbur- dened with cumbersome expressions; let us, there- fore, try to curtail them rather than multiply them. OSCAR EVERTZ. Good Negroes Shocked by Crime: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I was greatly shocked at the brutal murder of a Mrs. Osburn of Laclede avenue by a colored man whom she had befriended by giving him employment. -IT.am a colored man, a native of. Mississippi, and must say that I am far from such fiendish acts and hope that the guilty man will be caught and he made to pay the penalty with death. Just such acts and .¢rimes done by low-bred fiends make it hard on us poor colored men who try day by day to make an honest living and abide by the laws. It hurts me very much to read of these things and I would to God that I had mental power to pick out these low-down fiends. I would not rest until they were all elim!- nated. I hope that this brute will be caught and that some poor, innocent person won't sean) for his crime. The better class of my people are ue citizens ana are law-abiding, and I hope that our white friends won't turn against us for what these brutal, low- bred dogs do. J. E. P. Our Methods of Taxation. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The people of St. Louis certainly have the patience of Job, that they submit to such an unjust tax as business and personal, For instance, my living de- pends on my business. In order to retain my trade I must serve my customers the same as if I worked for an employer, Our present law fines me for mak- ing an honest living, Why should not all be treated alike? Equal rights to all, special privileges to none. The Collector cannot collect, or does not, from such as editors, poets, preachers, promoters, agents, su- perintendents, foremen, managers, etc.; some of these mentioned are earning ten times the amount I make out of my business. They put their earnings in their ey te the Collector cannot touch them. I¢ must be my hard luck that I cannot hide my stock. No won-

He may have been one of the most reckless and deliberate of that coterie of titled debauches, for whom the cun- ning’ French capital invents new and terrifying dissipations; but always great wealth has clung to his fingers, Poor, merry, bad old king! Perhaps he has been libeled a little; a He al- ways did travel a mile while the truth was putting on its boots. Wao can tell? But the average man need not be much of a saint to be ardently thankful that when his hour comes he will not be fumbling with the visions that must flit to and fro before the old man, who cannot rise from his chair.

EVERY LANDLORD KNOWS. From Life. That tenants are an unreasonable lot. That taxes and repairs keep him hard up all the time. That his only error is in treating his tenants too well. That a man is a fool who insists upon clean wall paper and sound plumbing. That tenants spend all of their time driving nails in the wall and scratch- ing the wainscoting. That if the tax rate.goes much higher he’ll sell out everything and invest in Government bonds. That if the tenants knew how hard it was for him to get along they would be more watchful of his interests.

THE FRIGHTENING GERM. From the New York World. Dr. William C. Woodward, Health Of- ficer of the District of Columbia, calls the “Chautauqua salute” a health menace and a breeder of disease. Now Dr. R. G. Eccles says shaking hands is a bad practice, because you don’t know how germiferously dirty the other fel- lov’s hands may be! George Washing- ton did not shake hands promiscuously, but few later statesmen have been so fussy about it.

THE SPEAKER AND LEGISLATION. From the Boston Herald. Speaker Cannon graciously announces that he will permit such legislation in the present Congress as the majority of the Republican party desire, even if it necessitates the sacrifice of some of his personal convictions.

COL, WATTERSON’S WAGER. From the Norfolk. Virginia-Pilot. Cannon isn’t a sport; he is only a 10- cent piker. He would no more think of staking & breakfast such as Watterson is in the ¢ustom of eating and enjoying than of resigning his job, except under compulsion that could not be denied, een

Every big city in the country is wrest- ling with the automobile problem. Why cannot St. Louis be the first to solve it with an automobile subway? It is by this time certain that for urban purposes the same street level does not suffice for pedestrians and automobiles. Elther the one or the other must get off of the earth. Other- wise it is only &@ question of time until the automobiles kill all the pedestrians and have the streets to themselves. The objection to this is not so much the loss of the pedestrians as the inevitable in- jury to automobiling, now & great na- tional institution, Itis extremely doubt- ful if it would strvive ite own sur- vival. There may be @ few people who will still go on automobiling when there is nobody to hit, but the great mass of automobiles unquestionably would not care for it at ail. The subway Would at once save the industry and some of the people. And, unlike most subways, there would be no trouble about the money. It could be built with fines. That is the trouble definite purpose. —— SHIES AT THE PRIZE. —— “Missourt, the “RM of Grace.” rds sing in the State we love, "ihe cout cha pdann love bond tighter and the handclasp true “Prodiaim « weloobe from our State to you stranger here, Bids you came and stay, and you'll have no doubt —_—_— | ) with fines right now.

Todhunter gazed at Sim -Bird- song in deep silence for a moment. Then, moving away, he delivered his pained ultimatum. ti “That settles {t.

Todhunter strode loftily away. But he shook with laughter when he related the in- cident to Mrs. Todhunter, relishfully. “Well,” he philosophized, “better me’n them, anyway, because Angelica needs her ma—and I can certainly get along fine without her. But it’s a lesson to me, Mary—-I wash my hands of all that sort of fool. business from this time henceforward, world with- cut end, amen!’’ Half an hour later Tom Strickland came to the Colonel with a troubled ace. ; “Colonel,” he said, “that little Lot- tie-May Doggett ts booked for a unpleasant experience in a tew minutes, if wr rt i don’t give her a friendly warning “What's the matter with Lottie- May now, Tom” ) “Well, sir, it’'g? pretty serious. There's an ugly story about her that’s got to the ears of the ladies tonight, something scandalous, in which the name of the man doesn’t seem to be known, and I've just had a tip that she’s going to be asked to leave the ball‘room. It’ ll shame her beyond redemption, sir.” “Do you know the story?” “Oniy as it’s being whispered around, Colonel, about some man be- ing seen to leave her house at hours of the night, or early mornin that can’t mean but one thing, fal ‘Ss are claimin I’m afraid Lottie-May’s in a bad fix, the way things look.” “You ain’t mixed up in this trou- ble, are you, Tom?” Tom Strickland flushed. “Tf I was, Colone}.” he replied, “T reckon I'd be man enough to try and get Lottie-May out of it myself, with- out bothering anybody else. No, sir; I ain’t. mixed up in it. But. good Lord, Colonel, I went to school with- Lot- tie-May when she wasn't kneehigh to a duck, and I swear I'd hate to see her publicly disgraced, sir!” Col. Todhunter made no reply. “T thought, maybe, if you could get the chance, Colonel,”’ resumed Tom, anxiously, “that you might tell her and so make it possible for her to slip away before the ladies can do what they're threatening to do, sir. She’ll take it from you, knowing that her grandfather was in your old reg- iment and that you're telling her for her own good, where she might flare up, and kick over the traces if any- nody else hinted at such a thing.

Todhunter: found opportunity to speak with Lottie-May Doggett. Very frankly he told her of the danger in which she stood.

FLAT LEET. AX STRUNSKY of New York Vi explains the pain due to flat foot as due to fatigue and in- flammation of the muscles that support the bones of the arch. mainly the tibia- lis anticus and posticus. or to paralysis of the nerves supplying this group of muscles. The lessened tonicity causes these muscles to stretch and to become lengthened, and the astragalus is pushed down by the body weight, and the scaphoid is rotated. Wasting diseases cause this loss of tonicity. The cru- cial test of the strength of the arch is its appearance, when the patient stands, not when he sits. Prophylaxis consists in stopping abuse of the feet by wear- ing proper shoes without pointed toes, and not turning the toes out. Rest is the best trentment of the acute in- flammatory stage and sypport by cel- luloid plates after it is relievea. Roland O. Meisenbach of Buffalo, N. Y., deprecates the indiscriminate use of flat-foot plates prescribed at hazard by incompetent persuns, which do more harm than good. ‘Rhere are few norma! feet among shoe wearerg, Cue to atro- phy from the use of shoes, and joint strain due to thé mode of dress. The objects of filat-foot plates are to guide muscular action, restore the general balance of muscular equilibrium, and prevent recurrence of asymmetry after correction of deformity. The plates should be made of sheet steel, worn for some days before being tempered, so as to be molded better to the foot. Ex- ercises should be given in conjunction j with the use of piates.—Medical Rec-

Joke Is on the Humorists Who Prate of “Bargain Grabbers.’’ N the meantime, if she isn’t enough to make old Diogenes sit up and take notice, she should at least give those literary gentlemen a subject to relieve the eternal monotony of their writings. She should cause customs of- ficials, who #o notoriously let men pass while looking for women smugglers, to form the habit of asking if they ‘are perfectly consistent Christians”’ and let- ting them pass when they answer af- firmatively. And humorists who take the greedy, grabbing bargain huntress so seriously , DIOGENES, CHICAGOONINERSITY PROFESSORS AND OTHER.

She said Thursday: “Tf all men would practice the duty they acknowledge and each property- owner pay his taxes, his virtue would react to his own benefit. The city would prosper and get along all right and it soon would be found that the tax rates could be reduced. ‘The peace of mind I gain is well worth the investment of going out of my way to pay my taxes. All the bother I went to and the disturbance I caused the Collector’s office convinced the Col- lector that such peace of mind and con- science must indeed be very consoling.

ANCHOR CHAIN OF BATTLESHIP "MAINE SHIPPED AS SCRAP-IRON Mystery Is How Two Tons of Links Were Shipped on Tramp Steamer From Cuba. PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 17.—As part of @ cargo of scrap tron in the hold of the English tramp steamer Cairnioch, which reached here from Cuba yester- day, were the anchor chains of the bat- tleship Maine, the sinking of which in Havana harbor precipitated the war with Spain. Wach link of the chain is marked ‘“navy.’’ How the cable was taken from the ship and how it came to be part of the cargo of the Cairnioch are a ship-

-chandlery mystery. The first mate of the Cairnloch, John Hughes, said: ‘‘There are a couple of tons of it, sir, and every link is marked ‘navy.’ They said it was from the old Maine, and there was the fighting ‘op of her mast sticking up in the harbor for anyone to see; and a melancholy sight it is, too, for a sailor man to look at.”’

HOW MUCH DID THE SHOEMAKER LOSE? A SHOEMAKER sold a pair 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 ve the stranger the shoes and in change.

two days—breathe a certain disdain for the financiers who failed to solve the problem, or to agree on a solution, when Prof. Calvin M. Woodward first offered it to them. But some of these letters which begin ridiculing the bankers end by confessing uncertainty as to the conclusions of the writers. For instance, the following: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The shoemaker problem does not take a banker to solve it, but a 5 or 6-year- old child. The answer is: The shoema- ker is out $5 and the cost of the shoos \(probably $3.50). If bankers could not solve this problem I think they have mutton heads. Kindly inform me if I am correct. I. STEINBERG, 1002 Nort Grand av. Easy for a Child. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Am surprised that Prof. Woodward's catch problem has taken sc much of the valuable time of our principal bank- ers. It is a problem that any pupil of the eighth grad~ ought to be-able .o do. The answer is, the shoemaker loses what the purchaser gains, namely—$6 and the pair of shoes. Please let me know if I am right. PIEPENDECKEL’S SISTER. —_—_—_—— Shoemaker Had a Safe. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Here is my solution of the shoemaker problem: The shoemaker lost just what the customer was ahead—$5 and the pair of shoes. We will take it for granted that the shoemaker had no money in the cash drawer, but when the druggist gave him two good $ bills he gave one te the customer and put the other one in the drawer, so when the druggist asked him to make good the counterfeit bill he took out of the cash drawer the five that the druggist had given him and another five out of the safe and gave to the druggist. Consequently the shoemaker is out the five that he took from the safe and the pair of shoes, EDWIN E. ROBERTS, 8811 Delmar boulevard. $10 and the Shoes. Other answers received are: To the Editor of the Post-Digpatch. The shoemaker lost $10 and one pair of shoes, no more, no less. A READER OF THE POST-DIS- PATCH. 2641 Eads avenue. $16 and the Shoes. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to Prof. Woodward's prob- lem that I read in your paper, I think the shoemaker lost $15 and the shoes. R. CONDREN, 4806 Hammett pl. Puzsie Is O K’d.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The shoemaker received two genuine $5 bills from the druggist. The one which he kept was value received for the shoes, which he sold to the strang- er.

Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago club, said on his arrival here last Fri- day night that Ward would be elected president on the first ballot. The fact that he was not, therefore, was cause for celebration among «the pro-Heydler men, who maintain that if there is any weakening in the re°> clive forees it wil] be among the sup -rters of Ward.

vPAILING TO ELECT THURSDAY

| Dropping Gophers From Schedule CHICAGO, Dec, 17.—Certain members of the Athletic Board of the University Jot Chicago were reported yesterday as being opposed to scheduling a game with the University of Minnesota for the season of 1910, because of the Iat- ter’s action in playing Michigan, while Michigan wag without the conference pale. Minnesota had been regarded’ as a fixture for next season on the Chicago schedule, though no contract had been signed. Minnesota’s two-year agree- ment with Michigan was made while a contract with Chicago was in existence with still a year to run. Before sched- uling the Michigan games, however, Minnesota acquainted the conference colleges of the possibility of such | ac- tion and insisted it was acting for what was thought tobe the. best interests of the conference. ——_o—__—_- SOUTHERN SCHOOLS ASK THAT GAME BE CHANGED OXFORD, Miss., Dec. 17. —Delegates to the annual meeting of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association meeting here Thursday night practically agreed that an appeal will be made in the form of a resolution asking the Rules Committee to modify in’ many forms present conditions governing foot- ball. The forward pass is believed to be.on the ata eset Go the Southerners. ROLLER AND ZYBSCKO MATCH IS CHANGED KANSAS CITY, Mo.,. Dec.-. 17.—The conditions and date of the Roller- Gybscko wrestling match have been changed. The men will meet in con- vention hall Dec. 21.

Addition of Demmitt, Hetling “and: Lake Will Add Speed to the Browns.

BY JAMES CRUSINBERR Y acquiring Outfielder Fiasasenee ES and Infielder Hetling the Browns’ management showed clearly that its policy is to get rid of the old play- erg on the club and fill in with young blood. Criger, a veteran of many sea- sons, was the man traded to New York for Demmitt and Pitcher Joe Lake, while waivers have been asked on Jim- my Williams, another veteran of the team, and there is talk that Hobe Fer- ris, too, is to go. Demmitt is a most promising young player. The fans will remember that he played In center field with the Yankees in many, of the games here last season. He hit .246 in the American League, a good mark for a first year man. He is a college man, having learned to play ball under the direction of Frank Huff at the University of Illinois. He needs a bit.-more experience. He has the speed to make a great fielder and base runner

TOMMY RYAN FEARS JEFF CAN NOT WIN

Rleg/ ket Old-Time Trainer of Cham- “pion Believes Big Fellow : Will Not Come Back, MEMPHIS, : Tenn., Dec. 17.—If James J. Jeffries defeats Jack Johnson the result. will surprise Tommy Ryan, the former welterweight champion, who gave Jeffries many scientific points 24

‘blows of Fitzsimmons from : en yulneranle moots on me. big

according to Ryan, will certainly be the next big man the American public will ask to meet Johnson in event of Jeft- ries’ defeat.

Rickara Talks Again. , NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—‘‘Tex” Rickard has returned from Boston with a new line: of talk about the Jeffries-Johnson fight, but the promoter is just as ve- hement in his denials that there were any secret agreements between the prin- cipals as he has always. been since the articles were signed for the champion- ship. contest. There was absolutely ro agreement over a division of the’ purse outside of the one which is in the pub- lished articles, sald ‘‘Tex,” but he ad- mitted _ “thate came near being oe

and he hits left-handed and hits the bal! hard. Joe Lake has been. pitching ~ major league ball for many seasons. Hes a spitball pitcher and one of the good ones of the American League. He had a better average last season than any pitcher on the Browns’ team, having won 14 and lost 11 games. Quinn was the only pitcher on the Yankees’ team who had a better percentage. He should add much strength to the pitching staff of the Browns. O’Connor was first aft- er Pitcher Quinn, who is a young fellow and seems to have a brilliant future ahead of him, but now the story is that the move was only a “bluff’’ and: Lake was the man wanted all the time. Criger,, of course, will be missed from the Browns, because he knows as;much catcher in the business today. But Lou was in peor health here all last summer and asked to be traded for that reason. He thought he would do better if he could get in one of the ocean or lake towns, and New York, with its ball park on the hill tops, will suit him better than the sultry climate of St. Louis.

Alton’s Board of Art Censors has gone to work on the installment plan. Ferdinand Volbracht, who is acting as chairman because he saw the job first, is the only one who nes done any cen- soring. Despite the fact that me sells cigars to saloon keepers, he fearlessly an- nounces that, so far as the dramshops of Alton are concerned, “art is on the bum.” Thus far his opinion has not been indorsed by the other members of the Board, L. W. Hellrung and J. w: Schmidt, wholesale liquor dealers; Hen- ry Dreiscerner, furniture and fixture manufacturer; and Joseph Budde, lum- ber wagon driver. What the saloon keepers will do in reprisal if they are forced to place the lid on art has not been announced. One of the first problems presented to Chairman Volbracht is .whether a pic- ’ ture which costs $100 is to be classed as art, even if the subject forgot to dress before she posed for it. Volbracht is busy studying the mar- ket quotations on art and meanwhile Yenus is still displaying her charms in thei Monarch saloon on Bell street. “Take that down,” said the chairman of the Board of Censors. “Tt guess not,” replied J. B. Marquis, proprietor of the saloon. “That picture was painted by J. H. Sieben, one of the best artists in Alton, and I paid $100 for it. There it is and there it stays.” ‘The chairman was walking down East Second street’ when he saw a billboard ’ decorated with pictures of chorus girls. He hurried to the Temple Theater and motified Manager Sauvage that the post- ers must come down. “Can't take them off this cold weath- er; they’re frozen,’’ said Sauvage. “TJ should think they would be—the way they’re dressed,”’ replied Volbracht. “IT mean that the paste is frozen, and those chorus girls are there to stay,” said Sauvage. Volbracht hasn’t decided what he is going to do about it. He says he will consult the other members of the board not the billboard, put the board of art tensors. — - WOMAN WITH ONE LEG:WAS “BROUGHT FROM EUROPE TO COOK FOR MRS, M. B. 6, EDDY Detained by Immigration Authori- ties, She Insists Artificial Limb Supports Her. . Shectal to the Post-Dispatch BOSTON, Dec. 17.—“Is a one-legged ss @00k ag go’. a cook as a two-legged - spook?” On the final answer of this interesting question depends whether or not Mrs. “Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, will get her imported cook, Mrs. Mary A. mitinber, a widow, 3% years old. ~ Mrs. Ettinger/ arrived _ here. on the Ivernia from Liverpool last Friday and 4s detain 24. By careful inspection the immigration authorities learned. that she has an artificial leg. The female in- h _ @pector, making further search, found another artificial leg in Mrs. cin becstge. “The woman cannot st woot herself,”’ paid the immigration authorities, after icarning of the sscoud artificial leg. “She has no leg to stand on.” The artificial leg’ in her baggage is built for the same leg as that other one oder Mrs, Ettinger stands. So«she ds she ig not only self-supporting, = ne on da half time seli-supporting. She has t this argument to the De- a partment of Commerce ard Labor in - Washington as proof thai she should be ~“aamitted to this country. : “I don’t see that the number of my - Jegs interferes with my ability to cook,’’: _ @he said today, “If I were a centipede _ FE could not eok any better. Mrs. Eddy ‘has agreed to pay me very g00d wages es and T am and will be self-supporting— \ @Vven on one icg.” Gee
