Two of them were burned by electric heaters, attached to the car seats, before she and Miss Agnes Ku- per, whom she first rescued, could reach them, Miss Adeline Anderson, older sister of Frances, and Miss Catherine Kuper, were the most severely injured. Both were burned, Miss Anderson on the left leg and Miss Kuper on the face and neck. Miss Rose Kuper, 18 years old, was cut, and was so shocked that she Was unconscious when her rescuer also badly cut. Miss Frances Anderson was the only one of the five who was able to be about the house Thursday. At her home 5210 North Twentieth street she told a Post-Dispatch reporter the story of the wreck and the rescue. “‘The three Kuper girls are near neigh- bors of ours,” she said, day my sister and I went with them to lorisant to visit their married sister. “We started back a little after 7 p. m. on the Suburban car, intending to trans- fer to the Ferguson-Kirkwood car and return home that way. Heard Nothing of Train. “We heard nothing of a train as we approached the Kinloch racetrack. Whether the conductor ran ahead and flagged the crossing I don’t know, bur the car didn't stop. “We were sitting near the front of the car, on the left side, and were pay- ing no attention to the crossing when, just as we bumped over the railroad track, there was a terrible crash, the lights went out and our car went tum- bling over. “The car fell on ité left side, so that we were at the bottom when it landed. The other girls were screaming, and I told them I would get them out as quick as I could find a way. I tried the front déor, but it stuck fast, and the only way out I could see was through the win- dows above. “The windows have iron bars part of the way up, and this helped me to get up to the nearest window. As I pushed myself through the broken sash, I saw that we were on the brink of a ditch. The conductor was standing by the edge of the ditch. ‘Come help me get these girls out,’ I said. He said he would, and just then Agnes put her head through the window, and the conductor and.I pulled her out. Then. we climbed down and got the others. Girl Pinneg by Timbers. ‘We had to-take timbers off Cath- erine Kuper, for the floor had allen out and was pinning her in her place, while the electric heater had burned through her clothing. Rose was uncon- scious, and we thought at first she had been killed. “Agnes and I oarried Rose to the nearest house, and we got home late last night in carriages.”’ Miss Anderson is a robust, athletic ryoung woman. She made little of her own injuries, the chief of which was a bruise under one eye. Her hands were also cut in her climb through _ the broken window, and her dress and cloak were torn. The Kinloch Park grade crossing, vhich ia at the old racetrack of that name, is one of the most dangerous in St. Louis County. There is a curve northwest of the crossing, in the direc- an tion from which the train. came. A

Carolyne Garrett, Miss Leonia Robinson, Miss Eugenia Scudder, Miss - Helen Hayes and Miss Margaretta McCandless.

President Zelaya of Nicaragua. , “Do you know that there were 400 Americans fighting with the insurgents at the recent battle’ of Rama?” said Zelaya. “Do you know at the battle of Coiorado Junction on Nov. 1 the bodies of 2 Amer-can marines were picked ups on the field by our forces—all from the American cunbeats ancrored in the river to protect American: interests? The official explanation given. me was that these men were deserters.” Zelaya believes the confederation of all the Central Américan republics will ultimately be brought about, as’ he.says the great mass of the people are union- ists and the principal obbtacle up to this time has been the selfish attitude of persons in power animated by private interests. He favors a gbattal government for thé new republic rather than a strong Federal government, explaining his meaning that under a central govern- ment the various states would preserve their identity, having offices to transact such general business as might concern the whole of Central America and leav- ing each of the present republics more or less Independent and handling its in- terior affairs. That Zelaya is at liberty to return to Nicaragua when he pleases was the information given out at the Foreign Office today. Sub-Secretary of Foreign Affairs Gamboa declared dt. was only tacitly agreed that Zelaya was to re- main out of Nicaragua, but that so far as Mexico was concerned, no attempt would be made to control his move- ments.

A jury of farmers could We will do the work, fairly sums up tae cam- paign assurances of Mayor Kreismann before Charging the Weils ad- ministration with dereliction concerning impor- tant improvements and benefits ‘in connection with terminals, public utilities and franchises, he pledged himesif and his party to a thorough and satisfactory spettlement of our munictpal problems. The one condition’ he asked was an honest and capable Municipal Assembly. The election of good men to the Council and House, he said, would assure the protection of the city’s interests and the promotion of the public wel- fare at every point. The following excerpts from the speech of Mayor Kreismann at Concordia Hall on March 18, give a substantial summary of his pledges: “ Unreasonable freight and switching charges which are a burden upon the commercial and industrial welfare of our city must and will be lifted by the creation of effective competi- tion in terminal affairs. The terminal should be under the control of the city and not the city under the control of the charges. “It is worth while to note that in other large cities of the United States the municipal authorities fully recognize the vital importance of convenient railway terminals to commer- cial prosperity and have forced the rail- roads to provide adequate facilities both for passengers and for freight. These provisions are just as essential to a community as prop- er thoroughfares are for ordinary street traffic. “There is no room for discussion, for I think we are all of accord that all the public service corporations NOW HOLDING OR HEREAFTER ACQUIRING FRANCHISES AND PRIVILEGES TO USE THE CITY’S STREETS OR OTHER PUBLIC: PROPERTY SHOULD BE HELD TO A STRICT ADHER- ENCE TO THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED UPON THEM. ‘It does not require any other qualifica~ tions in officials to obtain the city’s just share in the benefits thus created, but integri- ty and the application of simple and sound business methods. We do not intend or mean to confiscate the property of corpora- tions holding franchises, but insist that such corporations shall RENDER EFFICIENT ‘SERVICE IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE OBLIGATIONS OF THEIR OR- DINANCES.”’ The people elected Mr. Kreismann with the Councilmen.and Delegates he wanted: Now the “tentire Council, applying “integrity and the simple and sound business methods” he urged as alone necessary to “obtain the city’s just share in the &i benefits created” by the granting of privileges, demands that just share. They demand that the St. Louis Terminal Railway Association fulfill its obligations and relieve the city of admittedly un- just discriminations. They insist that -it supply adequate terminal facilities on fair conditions of | wer vice. But instead of supporting the Council's | de- mand for adequate facilities on fair terms, for the jfulfillment of all the Terminal Association’s ob- ligations and the abolition of unfair cetRicnstea, Mayor Kreismann opposes it. He is willing that the unjust freight and switching charges shall stand and new privileges shall be granted on the as- sociation’s, not the city’s, terms. He is willing to reverse his rule, that the railroads, not the city, shall control terminal charges. How can Mayor _|Kreismann reconcile his present attitude with : alityrladen minds to do for themselves.

= = = rTrTlUh; The inconsistency charged against the Post-Dis- patch by our esteemed contemporary, the Repub- lic, was not in the Post-Dispatch’s editorial and cartoon on Dr. Cook, but in the Republic’s lack of perspicacity. The editorial advice to quit kick- ing Cook was consistent with the cartoon which represented the down-and-out explorer as swear- ing off on North Pole cigars. The cartoon merely emphasized the fact that Cook had reformed, had quit hitting the exploration pipe, so to speak, and should be permitted to work out his veracity resolution in peace. It had none of the wicked quality. of. the Republic’s own series of carica- tures published on the page opposite its approval of the Post-Dispatch’s humane counsel. ‘nere was real inconsistency. - oe ee ee DELAY IN CONGRESS. Dispatches from Washington announce there is little probability of the e at this session of Congress of a bill for the establishment of pos- tal savings banks. It is said the chairman of the Postoffice Committee in each house is op- posed to taking up the measure at this time. The argument is that nothing should be done with regard to such banks until after the report of the Monetary Commission. Then it is to be taken up in connection with all other questions of currency and banking reform. There is seemingly an element of reason and sense in the proposed postponement of

problem, until the subject can be taken up as ag Better make a uniform system at lei a hodge-podge of contradictory innovatfons in a hurry. That proposition will not be dis- puted. It is disputed, however, that the estab- lishment of a postal savings bank has any es- sential connection with the issue of currency jand banking. It is a mere hazard of politics that] ,,, has brought about a consideration of the one at the same time the other is under consideration.

St. Louis Pedestrians “Boobs.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Now that the hue and cry about “baby” chauffeurs has subsided, one of the “babies” would like to prat- tle. I have driven in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Buffalo and towns where -people seldom see an auto, but in all. my experience I have newer run across such a bunch of “boobs” as right here in St. Louis. Every day I have to take chances of wrecking my car because some misguided idiot starts across the street with his head the other way, wondering how many stars will shine tonight when he gets across the street. I have seen women start across the Street overhauling their clothes, never thinking otf anyone or anything but their clothes. The calamity howlers can yell for safer and sane driving and the accidents will still continue, but get safe and sane walking and watch the result. ONE OF THE Rares. Suggestion for Capt. McCulloch. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. As a patron of the Olive line, I offer a suggestion for relieving the congestion on this line in the early morning and evening hours. A great many of the people who use tke Olive. Delmar and McPherson lines transfer from lines from the south side of the city, or some from the district south of Chestnut street. I Suggest that some Delmar cars be routdd from Fourth street out Market, to Laclede, tnence to Euclid, thence north to Delmar and west on Delmar; and that they come east over the same route during the rush morning and evening hours. These cars could’ be labeled “Delmar, West of Euclid,” and would relieve traf- fic not only west of Euclid, but all intermediate points convenient to Laclede and between Laclede and Olive streets. A CITIZEN. The Mullanphy Fund. To the Editor of the Post- -Dispatch. In your issue of Dec. 22 and also last night’s pa- per, my attention was drawn to articles in regard to the Mullanphy t'und. If Commissioner Curran, and Vital W. Garesche, president of. the Board, want to buy farms for the immigrants to work on, let the City of St. Louis buy the Missouri farms with their money and let the bequest of old Mr. Mullanphy go back to some of the poor relations. That is thé way I:think the diversion should be, if any, and if there is such a change, I think it will go to the re- lations. Some of them still have the Mullanphy name, and two of them are ladies keeping boarders to support themselves, and in this city, and one in the South; and I think they are the ones that are entitled to it. OLD FRIENQ OF THE FAMILY. : Let the Council Stand. Pat. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. After many years the City of St. Louls has a good Council, a set of men who really want te do Ahe right thing for the people they represent, but how can they overcome a Mayor who would give the Terminal Rail- road 18 acres of streets for a few viaducts, a perk and a station, without any sign of abolishing the bridge arbitrary? The bridge arbitrary has driven scores of factories to the East Side, and other places; it has robbed St. Louis of many thousands of people and it will continue to do so as long as it remains un. abolished. This is one error that should.be corrected, and it weuld be better to do it now. Grant them no new rights, give them no new franchises unless they come to terms. It was this bridge abritrary that led to the vote on the Free Bridge: it is the cause of all the delay in building the Free Bridge; then why give them more territory? The city can force them to build viaducts over their tracks, and the city 1s well able to buy the land to put into a park, without for it by not demanding a permanent abolition of the bridge arbitrary. The Free Bridge should be riished to completion | and all those streets now occupied on Mayor’s per- mits should be declared .vacant, and the Terminal forced to tear their tracks up, for there are plenty of railroads which will be glad to compete in han- competition that enables the Terminal to continue’ in its present state of defiance. It seems to the on- looker as though the Mayor is on the wrong side. I hope the Council will stand pat and sa out. Chester, Ill. _HL. The Occult in Life. } fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In an editorial on “Paladino and Her Phenomen4,” you say: “The natura) world is full of wonders and every one df these ‘phenomena,’ when examined Py trained observers, is found to be a perfectly natural thing without any element of the occult.” I find Webster defines “occult” as “hidden from the eye or the understanding; invisible; secret; concealed; un- “” But I take it you use the word as a Sy2- for supernatural, in the sense of jpexplicable by reference to what is known or the natural.

i. A BUSINESS POSTOFFICE, From the New York World. The Postoffice Department loses on carrying second-class mail matter $64,- 000,000 a year.’ Rural free delivery loses $28,000,000. Third-class matter costs §$3,- 000,000 more than it yields. The franking privilege of congressmen cots $500,000 and that of the departments $2,225,000. Against a total loss of $98,000,000 the vast profit of $80,000,000 on letters leaves al Geficit of $17,479,770. To meet the deficit Postmaster-Gen- eral Hitchcock In his annual report pro- poses that magazines should pay a higher rate than newspapers, or that a zone tariff should be established and second-class postage collected according to'length of haul. Both these measures are-objectionable. ‘Neither: is‘necessary. No one will deny that American mag- azines taken as a class are educational; that their circulation is good for the country. It is upon that ground that such atter is carried below cost; and upon that ground it is carried at a loss by every postoffice In the wofld. If the assumption is wrong we may as well abolish the classification altogether and “charge what the traffic will bear.”’ But before doing this there are three things the Postoffice Department might try: 1, Introduce more business-like methods in the department, particularly reforming the payments to railroads for carrying mails. 2. Make Congress and the departments pay postage like the rest of us. This would as @ matter of bookkeeping be fair to the de- partment; and it would be fair to the tax- payers, who ought to know what each de- partment actually costs. ; If we donot do these things, particu- larly the last, no. tinkering with the Magazine postage rate. will keep up with the deficit. Rural free delivery isonly 12 years old, but, without a parcels post, it is costing already $28,000,000. Urgent political pressure must inevitably cause its rapid extension. . It will grow. It feel. It will soon be costing $38,000,000 or $48,000,000 unless common sense comes, to the rescue. With a parcels post}. rural free delivery would in time pay the parcels post?” the answer “would| be “yes” by an overwhelming meepey:

" This is a flat contradiction of the opin- fon of Cok Watterson, who says that anything but straight liquor is a mixed drink. “A highball,” says the Vice- President, “is not, for the purposes of discrimination, a mixed drink, but u eocktail is a mixed drink. Similarly, a Tom and Jerry, which has only one alcoholic constituent, -(rum), Is not a mixed -drink, whereas. egg-nog, Which has two (rum and brandy), is most emphat- ically a mixed drink.’’ * * * WA retary knox D.

. \ én

SONG oF hte, entitled “Four Cau- . thonary Tales and a Moral,’’ words by Mr. Hilaire Belloc, M. P., and music by Mme. Liza Lehmann, was\sung by Mme. Clara Butt and Mr. Kennerley Rumford at a concert at the Albert Hall, “. London, says the Express. The work is a kind of “Struwwelpeter”’ Sins of naughty. children are punished drastically and on the spot. ‘There ig no mércy for the young delin- ‘quents and if the songs are closely fol- lowed and the moral of the g6od little boy of the final song is absorbed by any children they cannot help being filled with the best and most worthy inten- Yions. ?The first story tells of the terrible fate of Rebecca, who slammed doors for fun. The poet says: A trick that every one abhors In little girls is slamming doors. Then we are t@d that a we&lthy bank- daughter lived in Palace- srgen, Saye-water. She would deliberately go And slam the door ifke Billy Ho! But a marble bust of Abraham’ hap- pened to be placed just ‘“‘above the door this little lamb had' carefully prepared to slam. a And down it iam). It knocked her fiat! It laid her out! She looked like that! Her funeral sermon, we are told, was long, but dwelt upon’ her vices as well as her virtues. \ | —s And showed the dreadful*end of one Who goes and slams the door for fun. Jim fared no better than Rebecca for rainning away from his nyrse. He was He knew. “That chiatn never are allowed Be leave their nurses in ‘a ‘crowd, but. he ‘always slid away when ‘he could get the chance? \ And on this thauspicious day He sii bis hand and. ran away, He gone a yard ‘when—bang!

The boy. beginning at his feet. Now, just imagine how it feels , When first your toes and then your heels, And then, by gradual degrees, , Your shins and ankles, calves and knees, Are slowly eaten, bit by bit, No wonder Jim detested it! Though the honest keeper ran up and called on the lion to desist, it was no good, The lion baving reached his head, The miserable boy was dead. The most tragic story of the set, how- ever, is that of Matilda, ‘“‘who told such awful lies it made one gasp and stretch one’s eyes.” Having grown tired of play, one day the naughty child went to the telephone and summoned the fire brigade.. Engines came from all direc- tions. ‘‘They galloped, roaring through the town, ‘Matilda’s house is burring qh oe down! : They ran their ladders through a score Of windows “On the ballroom floor: And took pecullar pains to souse The pictures up and down.the house, Until Matilda’s aunt succeeded In showing them they were not needed.

' ‘i jf» That night a fire did break out— You should have heard Matilda shout! But every time she shouted “Fire!’’ The people answered, ‘‘Little Liar!’’ And therefore when her aunt returned, Matilda and the house were burned. The tale of Henry King is a short and sad one. He chewed bits of string which ultimately got tied in ugly knots in the boy’s inside.

By Leased Wire From the New York Burean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—In deciding that Charles W. Morse is not entitled to another trial because the jury which heard his case was, according to Morse’s lawyers, allowed to use intoxicants, United States Judge Hough lays down a new ruling. on the use of liquor by jurymen. One bottle a day, says the court, is not too much for a jury of middte-aged men. The opinion reads in part: “All parties agree that after the ease was given to the jury on Novy. 4, the usual rule of total abstinence was ob- served, so that the ‘unlimited quan- tity’. became a bottle a day.

‘There, I guess that will fetch ’em,”’ said St. Louis through his chattering teeth as he resolutely sat his prancing steed in front of the Art Museum in Forest Park, Wintry winds swirled about him and his nose tingled with the frest. ‘Yes,’ he mused, “that ought to fetch ‘em, if anything will, but I confess I don’t see how they are going to get here.” St. Louls was longing to rub his nose to restore the circulation but he checked the impulse, remembering that the sculptor had made no provisions for such a movement. He'll Be Happy When He Gets It. “Now, if I were put together like a Teddy bear I might do it,” he sighed, “but I guess a bronze nose won’t freeze anyway. But I do wish that fellow hadn’t put tin ear-muffs on my helmet. They are colder than none at all. Never mind, though. I'll be happy when I get that halo. Then the people who climb Art Hill will be convinced that I am really a saint.” There was good reason for ‘St. Louis’ self-satisfaction.

That busy Census Bureau which finds out all sorts of things about people has made public the fact that St. Louis is the most moral city in the United States —a real saint among municipalities. Figures issued by the bureau show that in the last fiscal year on which the statistics are based, fewer arrests were made in St. Louis than in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, San Francisco or Washing- ton. And this despite the fact that St. Louis, in proportion to its population has- morg policemen than any other city. Minimum of Arrests Here. In St. Louis there has been a mini- mum of arrests for homicide, assault, robbery, burglary, larceny and gam- bling. Though this is the center of the brew- ing industry there were so few arrests for drunkenness that the census ex- perts express their unfeigned surprise. Only 7038 drunken persons were arrested in St. Louis, as against more than twice that number in Chicago.

LIMITED DIVORCE GRANTED BY , JUDGE FOR FIVE-YEAR PERIOD Litigants Can’t Remarry or Wed Others During the Time of Probation. HAMMOND, Ind., Dec. 30.—A trial di- vorce was granted here today in the case of William and Mary Wohole by Judge V. S. Richter of the Circuit Court. He calis it a “limited divorce,” as it is for five years. After that period if the two desire to live together they can do so by the usual way—remarriage. If, in the mean- time, they should bécome reconciled, they cannot rewed until the end of the five-year period. Neither can either marry any other person. The odd question presents itself, if, during the probatien period, they should f° outside of the State and wed, and then decide to get a divorce after the five-year period, would they have to get two divorces to be legally separated? The Court's decision was evyoived to prevent Wohole from marrying Miss Lena Schaffer, the woman in the case. Other Cruises to the West Indies and South America. Sailings to Jamaica |

FUTURE HOPE OF THE OPPRESSED BALLPLAYER EITHER slavery nor in- voluntary servitude, ex- cept as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their juris- diction.— (Thirteenth amendment, Constitution of United States.)

The original case was innocent, but the big men of baseball probably saw that by carrying this case into court, the foundation for the game as organ- ized today, would be shattered. No ballplayer in a league belonging to the Nationa! Association or the Na- tional or American Leagues, can do as he pleases. He is bound to but one lub and can be sold by that club. He must accept tne salary offered him or stay out of the game. He must play wherever he is sent. He is actually a plece of property and the worth of a ball club. depends largely. on the caliber of players on its reserve list. into the courts. It was a good thing for baseball that John M. Ward was not elected presi- dent of the National League. The rea- son is because he is a lawyer. . He would undoubtedly be drawing too much civil law into the sport. He would have been a member of the Commission, the body to decide all disputes and rights, and being a lawyer, he would undoubt- edly have been influenced by the law end of things when it should have noth- ing whatever to do in deciding a ques- tion of right and wrong in baseball. lawyer defends the wrong side of a case as well as the right. There's only one side, the right, in sport. ae. Fighters in Draw for Title of Pacific Coast eee 4 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.—Gunboat ‘smith, sailor pugilist, who is scheduled to be Jack Johnson's chief sparring partner when the negro begins training for his fight with Jeffries, fought a 2-round draw with Jack Burns of Sa- linas Wednesday night, the battle. in- volving the heavyweight championship of the Pacific Coast. The fight was one of the fiercest ever seen between big men in a San Fran- cisco ring. Smith led up:to the twelfth round, and Burns was groggy when he went to his corner. He came back ‘n the thirteenth with a rush that carried Smith to the ropes. and from that time to the end of the twentieth held his own with the former navy champion, at times driving Smith around the ring before a whirlwind of blows that the sailor had hard work to avoid. ATHLETIC FEDERATION OF CANADA HAS DISBANDED NEW YORK, Dec. .—The new of- ficers of the A. A. U. Rave received cf- ficial certification from the Athletic Fed- eration of Canada that a meeting re- cently held in Montreal, the Federation officially disbanded and is now a part of the new body that will govern sports in Canada. This action by the Canadian body leaves the A. A. U. without any Canad- jan alliances. In the future Ameérican athletes desiring to compete in Canada must apply for a permit thers and must also have the permission of the Ase Us GRIFFITH, HEYDLER AND LYNCH ON RULES COMMITTEE CINCINNATI, 0O., Dec. 30.—President Thomas J. Lynch and Secretary John A. Heydler and Manager Clark Griffith of the Cincinnati club constitute the new rules committee appointed Wednesday for the National League. These men will hold a series of meetings in New York within the next few weeks and recommend certain alterations in the rules of the league. Later these altera- tions will be considered by the magnates at their meeting in February.

St. Louis Golfer Loses. PINEHURST, N. C., Dec. 30.—Four players survived the grilling play in Wednesday’s matches for the presi- dent’s cup, in the holiday golf tourna- ment. M. J. Condon of Wykagil, C. H. Miathieson of Ardsley, W. E. Gillett of Wykagil and W. C. Johnson of Canoe Brook weéfe the survivédrs. Mr. Gillett beat out E. B. Fay of St. Louis in an exciting contest, which was an uphill fight to.a finish.

Brighton Plans Improvements. NEW YORK,.-Dec. 30.—The Brighton seach Racing Association intends to play an important part in turf affairs next year. Plans for a large number of new stables have been prepared and work will be begun on them at once. A consultation of the Brighton Beach officials has been called for next week

condition ever known to the State of Missouri exists today. The commonwealth has on hand a fund of over $50,000 which has not previously been bespdéken or appropriated and for which there now seems no apparent use. The sum was accumulated by the State Game Warden’s department through the sale of hunting licenses, and with this white elephant on his hands, Mr. Jesse Tolerton does not know what to do. If Mr. Tolerton does the right thing he will invest the amount in more game wardens—men of the stripe who cannot be bulldozed by obstinate denizens of Ozark fortresses. Right under the noses of the entire State the hunting law is violated dally. Many hunters have no licenses and hunt freely. Worse, they hunt at all seasons, to the great detriment of those law-abid- ing persons who pay their little $ and wait for the open dates. There should be no leniency for killing game out of season. Yet quail and turkey are killed at any season the little hunter’s heart desires in ten or twelve cotinties in the State. Moreover, turkeys are nearly all shot after dark—in violation of the law. Rather than labor after the wary fowl by daylight stalking, the “native” cracks down on Missouri's fast-diminish- ing bronze beauties whenever and wherever he finds him. [Illegal trap- ping of all sorts of game prevails in many counties, too. And yet we have $50,000 that the State Game Warden does not know what to do with. Pe conaition the most reasonable A young gentleman who spends a week or ten days annually in a year-end hunt and who is ynable to indulge in the sport at other times, silently handed a slip of paper to a friend with whom he was conversing. The paper contained the following notes: Hunting license ..............$ 5 00 Equipmert ............ emtisie aw Railroad fare ....... sdoasoscoes © @ Guide, at $1.50 daily .......... 12 0 Board, at $1.60 daily .......... 12 @ BOD CRTs Sedivcdespecdicccess.

newspaper reports, after investigating which one must perforce deny and defy the “‘alligators."’ J. H. Moffat, assistant coach of Princeton University’s squad, an able writer on sporting topics and a pains- taking investigator, took the list and sifted each death and injury in person. He finds, in connection with the 200 or more injured, that: ‘“‘The conclusion is that newspaper reports of injuries have been sensational. The only cases I found to be really serious, out of 200, are those of Wilson of Annapolis and Pickering of Utica, but both of these men are alive and improving. Following je a specimen of how sen- sational reporting misrepresented facts, furnished by Mr. Moffatt: A man named Forbes of Linton, Ind., was reported as having “fractured an . ear drum in a football game, toe in abscesses and total deafness Bu the local papers state he was a S apeetater and in running to avoid a play coming toward him he stumbled, fell and ran the stubble of a weed into his ear. In the matter of the 32 killed, some really laughable attempts to saddle the blame for fatalities on football have been made. Examples: ham, a pupil of Waterloo (Io.) Re triche School, a spectator at a game, was struck on the et ae of the chin by a larger boy in_ a ht durin pan) deg He worked that evening, but died next day. Harry Houston of Crawfordsville, Ind. died of heart failure while kicking a bail around a lot. He had bee warned to stop smoking. member of any foot ] gh ob ay playing at ‘‘scrimmage’’ when arles E. A ag age $1, esseped, a Rg had played but not — football since 1908 and was never hurt in a game. Marfy similar instances are to be found. Careful reporting would make the “‘terrible death count” much less ap- palling. After sifting the causes of the 32 deaths laid to the door of football Mr. Mof- fatt concludes. “Even without applying strictly the rules of plain common sense in elimi- nating those deaths wrongfully at- tributed to fdotball, the revised list of fatalities of the year 1909 includes only 14. But in five of these the details of the accidents could not be ascertained.” Certainly Mr. Moffatt’s investigation clears up the bad reputation of football. The desire to sell-news items seems to have somewhat biased the perception of the coumtry purveyors of news, and it seems unfortunate so splendid a sport should be given a bad name through misrepresentation. After analyzing the mishaps of the gtidiron for the past season Mr. Moffatt contributes the information that: 1. No one was injured from the par- ticular formations of on-side kicks or forward passes. 2. The most dangerous play is a plunge through tackle.

Fabricius ang Blumenberg were for the winners, while Hamm and Fleming did the best work for the losers. Von Dach refereed.

C. won from the Marquettes in rather easy fashion, the final count being 48 to 21. Meyer, at cen- ter for the winners, wag the individual star of the geme, scoring 27 points for his team, while the opposing center secured only one basket. Fries was the best for the losers, getting 14 of their total. Von Dach refereed. ; The McKinley High School team will hold another practice Thursday afternoon in the school gymnasium, in preparation for the game with Soldan next Wednesday. The South Sid- ers are anxious to establish a record score this season as they did last, and chances are they will do it, as Von Dach will be back in the game. Smith fell before McKinley last year, the final score being 99 to 5. Judging from the interest manifested in the games of the Business Men's League at the Missouri A. C., a large crowd of the club mem- bers will be on hand Thursday night to wit- ness the double-header. The sport ig becom- ing very popular and there is no doubt what- ever that the games all season will be hotly contested. The Maroons, under the captaincy of Mr. Yule, and the Oranges, under Thomp- son, will play their frst game tonight against the Reds and the Blacks, the two teams that were defeated by close margins last Thursday night. Harry Kieher will referee and W: New- man will umpire. The Mohawk A. C. journeyed to O'Fallon, Ill., Wednesday night and defeated the high schoo] term of that place with a patched line- up by the score of 37 to 80. The game was exciting throughout, but the team work and the individual playing of R. Von Dach and Mc- Kenna held the game safe for the Mohawks.

Chicago Y. M. C. A. Wins. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 30.—The Chicago Y. M. C. A. training school basket-ball team was defeated by the Omaha Y. M, C. A. Wednesday night, by a score of 9% to 16, in a fast and exciting game. The Chicago team defeated Des Moines Tuesday night and will play Lincoln Thursday night. '

: 5 ae Would Force Bat to Fight Only for Tom McCarey LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 30.—The statement was made here Wednesday that Tom McCarey, manager of the Pa- cific Athletic Club, will bring’ an in- junction suit to prevent Battling Nelson |from fighting for the lightweight cham- pionship of the world before any other léelub than the one he controls in this city, if a match is made between Wol- ast and Nelson in San Francisco.

BY ROBERT EDGREN, NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—“I am going to California with Johnny to get on a fight with Nelson,”’ said Tommy Murphy yes- terday afternoon. ‘I’m not going out signed up to fight anyone. I’m going independentiy, with no strings tied to me. When I am on the coast I'll look around and do my best to get Nelson.” Murphy looked very much in earnest. “Forty-five rounds with the Dane will suit me perfectly,”” he went on. ‘“‘Nelson can have forty-fiv@ er twenty or any- thing he wants. I’m willing to go over any route—and fit to go, too. He looked it. As I noted his clean-cut lines, the words of the Fight Bug came to my mind. The Fight Bug is a par- ticular friend of mine. For months past he has been saying to me at least once a week: ‘Mark my words, I never picked a dead one yet, and Tommy Mur- phy is going to: be mext lightweight champion of the world if Nelson wil! fightyhim.”’ I told Tommy this. Has Plan te Win. “Yes,” said Murphy, “I think my time has come. I’ve been taking it slowly, not trying to rush into the lead right Hee Tina? Ae tiieieds

have been given to me. I’d like nothing, Britt won over him broke his heart, of better than to fight Moran every day in the week, over the long-distance route, too. Moran and Wolgast—I know I can beat them both. “And as for Nelson—I believe I can put him out in a long fight. Not in a short, but in anything from 2 to 4 rounds. If I didn’t feel sure I could beat him I’d never go to California to ask him for a fight. I'd never make a match if I didn’t:feel able to win. A man would be crazy if he did a thing like that. But I know I can win. I fee] sure of it.’’ “Lots of good men have tried to beat Nelson,’’ I said. Went at It Wrong. “Yes,” Temmy said, thoughtfully, “but not in'the right way. Britt fought him in the right way just before Nelson won the title from Gans and had Bat hanging on the ropes at the end of 20 rounds. Young Corbett gave a good il- lustration of the wrong way to go at Nelson. Corbett was a proud little fel- course. But when he fought Nelson he went to knock him out as quickly as possible. He wore himself out and Nel- son whipped him in 10 rounds. “Then he went away and ° trained hard, and fought Nelson again three months later. Corbett was in better shape ‘then, but his confidence was gone. He tried to out-slug Nelson at the start again, found he couldn’t do it, and was beaten down in nine rounds, “The way to knock out the Dane Is to fight him hard and fast; keep an even pace all the way; never try to finish him with a single blow; slowly beat him down. Even Joe Gans made the mistake of trying to drop Nelson early in the fight. In all three of their battles Gans wore himself out by putting -his strength into every punch in the first few rounds. Gans could hit hard, but Nelson can take the heavy punches. Britt peppered him for 20 rounds and

came within an ace of finishing him.”

In figuring on the probable schedule for }the Middle West bowling tournament it has been found that to complete the tournament inside of the 10 days expected that it wil! be necessary for the bowlers on one of the days of the tournament to occupy the alleys at the De Soto Pine continuously from 9:39 a. m. one day until 8 a. m. the next. st.

They returned in a few minutes and got into the cab, telling Johnson to go back to the starting point at Jefferson and Washington avenues. There one of the men gave him a $5 bill. Johnson offered him 40 cents in change, but he would not take it. The chauffeur says this man who seemed to be the leader was 25 years ola, 5 feet 8. inches tall and weighed about 175 pounds. He had a large round red face and wore a dark overcoat and black derby hat. Approaching Death Unseals Lips. Approaching death broke the spirit and unsealed the lips of Mickey Redd at the City Hospital Thursday night after he had adhered to the unwritten law of “Bang ethics” for five days. From early Sunday morning, when the applied at the hospital for treatment, he had stubbornly refused to tell where he was shot or who shot him. While the gang spirit was still strong in him he even lied about it, saying that he had been wounded at Sixth and Mar- ‘ket streets by a man whom he hed never seen before.

eck Island Special Goes Into Ditch Near Trentomg M ROMBAUER SEES PEOPLE'S. FORUM AS A HINDRANCE Speaker Declares Discussion Handicaps, Instead of Help- ing Legislation, LOSES FAITH IN PUBLIC aeliian oceeenementiendl |House of Delegates Official Tells Club Demands Often Are Inconsistent. 7 Speaker Rombauer of the House of Delegates. sees the “People’s Forum” as a hindrance to legislation. He, discussed the topic before the Feilowship Club of the King’s Highway Presbyterian Church. Mayor Kreismann. President Gundlach of the Council, and President Laird of the Police Board also addressed the meeting. In the course of his address Rombauer referred to the terminal discussion, which has preceded the proposed intro- duction of a bill in the Municipal As- sembly granting the association the right to use the Ranken tract for the expansion of its facilities. “The House of Delegates has a right to expect,’’ said Rombauer, “‘that upon the introduction of an important bill in the Municipal Assembly the _ intelli- gent press and the intelligent public will discuss it intelligently so that a proper disposition may be made of it. However reasonable such an expectation might be, it is unwarranted by the facts. Partisanship Is Charged. “Immediately on the introduction of such important matters the intelligent press and intelligent public become radi- cal partisans and do all they can to em- barrags the men who actually have to pass upon the questions, The newspa- waisrepresent ..fadcts:-to-strengthen the position they have taken. “So far as the intelligent public is con- cerned, it has ceased to exist. What we find is that many associations, as soon as a matter is presented to the Assem- bly, begin pouring in resolutions for or against it, without stating any reason for their demands. “Certain things are either lauded or condemned and the passage or the de- feat of the bill is demanded. These res- olutions are usually preceded by a pre- amble, sometimes vitriolic, especially if the person or corporation asking for the legislation is unpopular. Reasons Alone to Be Considered. ‘Resolutions mean nothing unless they state a reason for their adoption, and when accompanied by a reason, they are entitled to consideration. “I find on the Speaker's desk of the House of Delegates a petition from rep- resentative business men demanding the Passage of a certain bill. It states that the legislation asked for is urgent and the good of the city requires it. But when the administration attempted to pass @ bill on the same subject, but ten times more favorable to the city, the: mail brought from the same associa- tion to me a resolution demanding that the new bill be not passed. “I don’t want to be misunderstood. I have an abiding faith in the people when they soberly express their opinion, but I don't. prepose to be driven to do a thing by resolutions or demands based (On a s@ntiment created by want of a knowledge of the facts bearing on a particular case. “I have found that the American people usually make up and unmake their minds several times before they finally decide what they want. With a House of Delegates elected from 28 wards, representing as the delegates do people in vastly different stations in life, it_is bound to disagree ,with some of the people all of the time. It is not to be wondered at that legislation passed by the House is not always logical; but considering conditions it is wonderful that so much proper legislation is enacted."’ Terminal Bill Promised. Discussing the Terminal question with a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday, Rom- bauer said he believes a Terminal bill, embracing all of the points agreed upon by the House, Council and Mayor will be introduced,:and that the differences of opinion then will be thrashed out. The bill undoubtedly will be introduced in the House, he said, and he wishes the Council then to agree upon its amend- ments, and send them to the House for consideration and discussion. Mayer reismann, in carefully guarded language, struck back at the Republican organ which has been crit- icising him for not demanding an aboli- tion of the bridge arbitrary in negotiat- ing with the Terminal! for franchises. He said that organizations should give resolutions careful thought before adopt- ing them. Resolutions passed on the spur of the moment, he said, usually were ineffective. es

HEIRS LOSt SUIT AGAINST BARNES HOSPITAL FUND In sustaining a demurrer filed by the trustees of .the Barnes Hospital fund Friday morning, Judge McQuillin of the Circuit Court held that the provisions of the will of the late Rebert A. Barnes, who died in 1892, provided for the estab- lishment of a charitable: hospital and that therefore the relatives of Mr. Barnes had no interest In the trust fund. The suit was filed in behalf of Edwin W. Fairman, William H: McCarthy and Robert Buchannan, nephews of Barnes, against the trustees, asking that the provision in the wil! providing for the hospital trust fund be déclared inopera- tive. The contention vas enade by at- torneys for the plaintiffs that the fund provision was illegal because it did not Indicate clearly that the hospital was to be a charitable institution. In his decision, Judge McQuillin said that the will does not expressly state in definite terms that the hospital was to. be a charitable institution, nor that it: ehould not be a charitable establish- ment, “The meaning is not ambiguous,” the judge said. ‘“‘The provisions state piain- ly that the hospital ts to be erected. and maintained for the sick and injured persons without distinction of créed./ this language read in connection with: other p-ovisions, leads to the inevit-

Deposits Increased $55; 922,- 000 Over 1908 atid $26,- 428,000 Over 97, 66 NEW INSTITUTIONS Only One Bank in.the State . Forced Into Liquidation in the Year. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 31.—State Bank Commissioner John E. Swanger has just cempleted the compilation of, the published statements of Nov. 16, 1909, of all of the State and national banks and trust companies in Missouri, and commenting on the showing made by this compilation, he said: “The splendid showing made by the banks and trust companies of Missouri in their statement of Nov. 16, 1909, is very gratifying to the department. This statement shows that the deposits have increased $55,922,000 over 1908,- and $22,- 428,000 over that of August, 1907. Thus it will be seen that the banks and trust companies have not only recovered the f amount of deposits. lost during the financial depression of 1907 and 1908, but have gained over $26,000,000 over the amount held by them in August preced- ing the panic. Deposits the Largest. “In other words, the amount of de- posits held by’ the banks and trust companies of the State on Nov. 16, 1909, was the largest ever before held. In addition to the unprecedented showing in deposits, the statement also shows a reduction of bills pay- able in the State banks and_=— trust companies over that of a year ago of $442,532.40, while the reserve held by these institutions amounted to 40 per cent of their demand deposits. The total resources of all bank and trust companies in the State, on Nov. 16, 1999, amounted to §$769,484,000. Since September, 1908, there has been an increase of 66_in the number of banks and trust companies receiving Jeposits. “There are new a total of 1231. banks and trust companies in the State re- ceiving deposits, and 34 trust companies not receiving deposits. “During the year 1908, only one bank was forced to go into liquidation, the Grandin State Bank, at Grandon, Mo., and in this case all the depositors were paid in ful:. In fact, for more than two years there has not been a loss to any depositor through the failure of any bank or trust company under the super- vision of this department. An Unparalicied Fecord. “This unparalleled record speaks vol- umes for tné conservative methods em- ployel by these financial institutions, and is, I think, a high mark of credit for the efficiency of my examiners. “The general condition of the banks and trust companies under my supervi- Sion was never better. A closer co- operation between the boards of di- rectors and this department has been established’ and in nearly every in- stance we have found them in favor of strict examinations and supervision. “In addition to these helpful forces, the clearing house associations in St..Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph have employed efficient examiners, who are making frequent examinations of the institutions in their respective asso- cilations and are doing much to promote the safety and stability of these insti- tutions. “The .splendid record made by Mis- souri's financial institutions during the year 1909 warrantg me in confidently predicting a prosperous and satisfactory business for 1910.’’

a Pharmacists Have Remand- ed Their Orders, ’ : The time-limit on the ultimatum of the Bt. Louis Re‘ail Druggists’ Asso- Pianta that the Kinloch Telephone Co. 1 slot-machine instruments in er ae _stores-or remove the telephones, ti 7 ire Friday ‘night. While the association declares free _ telephone talk practically will end with _the old year, the telephone company avers that the majority of the druggists have relented and remanded their * orders that the telephones be removed. _ The company expects that only a few ‘telephones will be relinquished. Secretary William Busch of the Retail ’ Druggiste’ Association said Friday that the situation remained unchanged, and - that the druggists were standing pat ft on their ultimatum. He said 3% drug- os gists had served written notice on the Fes ; Kinloch Co, to take out their phones ~~ at the close of the year. He says that : i there are about 475 druggists in St. ; Touts who use Kinloch phones. This leaves about 9 who refused to abide by the decision of the majority, and » will continue to ' fee phones. ‘The installation of slot machines by the ¢ Bell Telephone Co. led to the present controversy between the druggists and the Kinloch company. The druggists Jained that customers took advant- the free telephone service and them overtime with gushing - conversations. The Bell system of slot ines enables the druggist to make a profit on the conversations of his cus- tomers, , Company in Cut Off Service._ ae H. L. Reber, general manager of the ooh ‘Kinloch company, said Friday that the * service will be discontinued at midnight “to those dfiggists who have not coun- termanded their order for the removal “of phones. “There will not be more than fifty _ phones removed or service cut off,” he gaid. “We do not think there will be that many. About Dec. 1 this company received 300 letters from druggists order- ing their phone service discontinued Dec. 31, Since that time we have received - about 20 letters from these same drug- _ gists countermanding that order.

This: announcement by Col. John A. Laird, president of the board, caused a flutter of excitement among older mem- bers of the force Friday. There ‘was some discussion as to’ what setting-up exercises are. At the Carr Street. Station two policemen got inté an argument about it. eh Tive: been on the force longer than you ive, ’ gaid one, “and I know all about it. Setting-up exercises is noth- ing new, but it’s been six or, seven years since it was safe for a policeman be seen « oing them. “In - the old days before Folk and Mul- vihill-eame in the setting-up exercises were indulged. in by most of the men. They’é start early, about the time the day bartender went on duty at 5 o’clock in the morning. Hé’d always set 'em up. Those were the fine times when a police- man wouldn't lose his star for going © @ saloon, and we boys always had something under our belts besides our coats and vests and went home every night with our helmets full of cigars. tthooet to hear that Col. Laird is going to resume the setting-up exercise.” Another Version of It, “You're all wrong,’ said the other policeman. “I know what he means. If one of the men gets sick we'll have to set up with him. That's fine exercise for a policeman, because it trains him to stay awake.”’ But both. policemen were wrong. Set- ting-up exercises are calisthenics of the strenuous sort used in the regular army. The men go through the movements in unison. YT irst they stand on their tip- toes, then suddenly bend their. knees and come to a. position where they are sitting on their heels. Then, coming back to the original position, they hold their arms out straight. There are many other movements, all of which must be done so quickly that it is extremely dif- ficult to maintain one’s balance. Fat policemen will find setting-up ex- ercises much harder work than walking a beat. Col. Laird bnteunield his intention Thursday night at the “Municipal Meeting” of the King’s Highway Pres- byterian Church Fellowship Club. Other speakers were Mayor Kreismann, Speak- er Rombauer of the House of Dele- gates and Charles M. Talbert, assist- ant to the President of the Board of Public Improvements. The president of the Police Board told his hearers that he means to draw on the professions in recruiting the force, and he said that a St. Louis dentist re- cently gave up his forceps for the star, and night-stick. After the meeting Col. Laird -was asked for a comment on the Census Bureau report.that there were fewer arrests for drunkenness than in any other large city. “yhe Whswer is easy,” he said. “A large proportion of our population tis composed of beer drinkers. To them beer is not an intoxicant. but a food.”

PATROLMAN WATCHES NEGRO, SEES HIM SNATCH A PURSE AND THEN LETS HIM ESCAPE Claims to Being a “Near Hero” Supported by Empty Pistol Chambers. After planning a nice little coup, Pa- trolman Milton of the Carr Street Dis- trict was vastly disdppointed to see his bird “fly the coop.”’ Having been informed that a certain negro frequently snatched purses from women, Milton planted himself in a dark hallway at High streeé and Franklin avenue Thursday night and watched the suspect, Presently two women came down the street. One carried a ptrse, and as they passed the negro, the latter sprang upon them’ and snatched the money’ bag. Visions of' a. gold medal capture spurred Milton to great speed>and he was after the negro in™ a jiffy. The negro, saw’ Milton just in time and ran to Twelfth street, thence into an alley between Wash street and Franklin av- enue. Milton in hot pursuit fired three shots and saw the negro drop to his knees as the third. bullet whizgzed through the atmosphere. ‘I got him that time,” said Milton jubilantly, but he was mistaken. The negro was on his feet in a second and soon had disappeared. Milton then went back to the scene of the attempted robbery to get the name of the woman who had witnessed the near capture but she too had dis- appeared. The consistory at the Carr Street Sta- tion accepted Milton’s proofs which were three empty chambers in his revolver and declared him a near hero. A REGULAR MOVING PICTURE SHOW LATEST NOVELTY

WHITECOTTON THERE

All Four Are Regarded as Rival Candidates for the Sena- torial Seat. The four prospective candidates for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator—David R. Francis, Jos- eph W. Folk, James H. Whitecotton, of Monroe County and James A, Reed of Kansas City—will attend the Democratic State Conuvention in Kansas City, Jan- vary. 8. Francis, Folk and Reed are billed for speeches. It is probable Francis will be chosen as one of the delegates from the Twenty-eighth ward, but a similar honor will not be conferred on Folk, who lives in the Twenty-fifth Ward. It appears the Folk forces will have prac- tically no representation on the St. Louis delegation. Political leaders belleve the convention is likely to shape sentiment in refer- ence to the Senatorial fight. If the question could be decided by the present party organization, Francis, the politicians say, would have a walk- over. It is argued that the entry of Francis into the senatorial contest, particularly if assurances of success for his candi- dacy are forthcoming, means a cam- paign fund next year of $50,000 or $75,000. Francis’ friends alone, it is said, are willing to contribute the majgr part of this, while Reed and Folk have not promised the State Committee anything. Reed Is Handicapped, Reed, according to the view of well- posted Democrats, is handicapped on ac- count of his advocacy of the Metropoli- tan Street Railway Co. in the recent Kansas City franchise election. Folk, by ignoring his former supporters and atterhpting an alliance with the Stone’ machine, added to the fact that he was defeated for Senator by admittedly one of the weakest Democrat leaders in the State, is not regarded fayorably by practical politicians. So far as Folk is concerned, however, the politicians think he is playing a game of hide and seek. If both Francis and Reed try for the senatorial prize, Folk, so his friends say, is certain to beeeme a can- didate. The general Opinion is that ff Reed drops out of ‘the fight, Folk may do likewise, as he is not confident that he Can defeat: Frantis ina straight out contest. Francis Is Invited. “T am going to Kansas City to fmake @n address there by invitation, and I can’t say what will be done by the con- vention,” Gov. Francis told a. Post- Dispatch reporter Friday. “I do not even know whether I have been select- ed as one of the delegrates from this city.’ The former governor appeared amused when asked regarding the reported visit here of L. M. Sanford of Columbus, O., for the purpose of boosting his sena- torial candidacy with the understanding that Francis would support Gov. Hamon of Ohio for President In 1912. ‘There is absolutely nothing to that story,’’ he said. “I have not only not him,” At the annual meeting Thursday night of Jefferson Club directors, that organ- ization decided to send six representa- tives to the Kansas City gathering. Lake P. Jones was chosen president of the club and Edward P. Farrell was re-elected secretary.

2 New Record for Straightaway Flight Established by Biplane at Paris. PARIS, Dec. 31.—Maurice Farnam in a . biplane flew across country today from * Chartres to Orleans, a distance of 7 kilometers (48% miles), in 6me hour. He followed the high road, maintaining an average height of 180 feet. This constitutes a new cross-country record, the most successful previous feat having been accomplished by Capt. 8. F. Cody, the head of the Balloon De- partment of the British War Office.

AVIATOR AT KANSAS CITY BARELY ESCAPES A FALL KANSAS CITY, -Mo., Dec. 31.—There i was little wind at Overland Park yes- terday afternoon, so Charles K. Hamil- ton, the aviator, explored the aerial re- gions nearly a hundred feet above the earth. It was the nearest approach to aeroplane weather that Hamilton has had since he has been exhibiting his aeroplane in Kangas City. He took ad- vantage of it with four flights, two of them perfect figure eights, which made the crowd forget the cold weather, the gas shor‘iage and other trivial worries. Over the etraightaway the biplane had made a perfect flight to the north. The wind: had died gown and for the first time in the afternoon Hamilton swung the machine around in a pretty curve and came rushing back at the speed of an express train to complete his figure eight in front of the grand stand. Then, at a height of 4 feet, Hamilton shut off his motor. The aeroplane started to settle gracefully to, the ground, but a puff of wind caught it at an angle anc the machine swerved, and started to turn over. Hamilton quickly shifted his position to right his machine, the wind died down as sudden- ly as it had sprung up. and the aero- Plane floated down to safety.

Five men, to be chosen bv John 8. Leahy, will prepare and promote ordi- nances for censorship of the St. Louis stage. The Schneiderhahn bill, now pending in the Council. for an ordinance ‘establishing a censorship of moving pic- tures, will probably be merged into the measure which the committee will ad- vocate. Leahy’s authority to name the com- mittee came from the conference of min- isters and church society representa- tives, of which he was chairman, at the Knights of Columbus Building. He ex- pects to announce the committee within a few days and to include at least one Protestant and one Catholic clergyman in the list. “The committee will not undertake any censorship on its own account,”’ said Leahy to a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday. “My belief is that a censor- ship without power to stop productions would be worthless. The censorship we will seek to establish will be based on authority of law. Schneiderhahn Bill Approved. “The Schneiderhahn moving . picture ordinance meets the approval of. those who attended the meeting last night. As to the exact form of censorship most satisfactory, I would rather not ex- press an opinion until the committee has been organized and has reached a con- clusion. Some important points are still to be decided.”’ The Schneiderhahn bill makes it the duty of the Chief of Police, personally or by a deputy, to view all moving-pi-- ture films before ‘their public presenta- tion and to give written permission for those which he considers proper. To produce films not having the Chief's: approval will be, by the proposed or- dinance, a misdemeanor. Most of the d@bate at Thursday night's méeting was on the wording or resolu- tions. The set of resolutions finally adopted said that theaters and other amusements “might, with profit to themselves and to the public, introduce still higher ethical standards into their offerings, with the idea of creating a better, purer public taste, rather than merely catering to a taste supposed to be the prevailing current one, thus more fully realizing their unquestionably great educational opportunity and func- tion in our civic life.”’ This, the delegates seemed to think, would make it clear to the Thedtrical Trust what was desired. But, for fear the trust might not rise to the oppor- tunity so attractively set forth, the res- clutions were carried further and the tee on Ordinance.

Mr. Griffith, the Repub-. lican candidate, is a well-known editor, and form- er State Senator Dickinson, the Democratic can- didate, in addition to his service in the Senate, where he was the leader of the Folk reform forces, has served as Prosecuting Attorney and Representative of Henry County. The battle will be fought on questions of national policy, in which the tariff will undoubtedly predominate. The Republican convention which nominated Griffith stood pat on the records of the national and State administrations. It adopted a resolu- tion favoring the continuation of both. Unless Mr. Griffith himself takes issue with the stand- patters of Congress, which is not likely, he must stand or fall on the judgment of the voters concerning the Payne-Aldrich atrocity. That .ex-Senator Dickinson will force the fighting ‘on the tariff and will eppeal to the insurgent sen- timent of progressive Republicans goes without saying. The Democvatic margin is too large to be overcome unless there should happen ‘to be a revolution of sentiment. DeArmond’s majority in 1908 was 1893 and in 1906 it was 1995, but a marked reduction or increase of the manny will reflect popular sentiment.

The city should by all means take action against the suburban towns to compel them to stop pol- luting the Des Peres. But it mtist not be over- looked that a great deal of the pollution is from sew- age and refuse turned or dumped into the river by residents of the city itself. As far as I know, nothing whatever has been done or is being done to stop res- idents of Greenwood, Lindenwood, Bilendale, Benton, Cheltenham and other communities inside the city from connecting théir private sewers with the river and throwing rubbish into it. Why not start to clear our own house before troubling our neighbors? As long as they can set up the excuse that St. Louis is a sinner in this regard, it seems to me we shall fail in our efforts to abate this nuisance. ELLENDALBE.

Origin of “Dixie.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Permit me to express my astonishment at the very misleading article on the origin of ‘‘Dixie’’ which IL find in your issue of yesterday. It was a@ coon song, originating in Bryant’s negro minstrels in New York in September of 1859, and was born of the intense cold weather which the minstrels all detested, and they were constantly saying, ‘‘Oh, I wish I was in Dixie,’’ and the head man of the walk-around, now styled cake-walk, one Emmett, who was directed to wish something new caught up the discontented refrain, and wrote a negro dialect suit- ed to the weather. That it was a national air or is entitled to the rank sought to be given it is wholly without authority. It had no origin in the South as a war song, but was first heard in New Orleans in 1861, in the Varie- ties Theater, when “Pocahontas. A zouave march was in the play and *‘Dixie’’ was the tune to which they marched [It caught the popular ear and the jingle of the buffoon head man of the negro minstrels was finally sung in the camps of the Confederacy without any reference whatsoever te the conditions between the North and the South. And to dub this a national air in com- parison with our noble “Yankee: Doodle,” ‘Hail, Columbia” and the “Star Spangled Banner’’ is an offense against all that is worthy in American patri- otism, since every one of these marks an era in our history which should be sacredly emphasized and en- nobled for the coming generations. PHOEBE W. COUZINS. Cook’s Service to the Public. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The idea of a “Polar Trust,” backir'z up Peary, as suggested in your editorial last evening, is all the more reason why Dr. Cook has done the world a good service, even though he be an impostor. Being wel! acquainted with Peary, and his backers, he no doubt knew that immediate competition would be necessary to take the matter out of the hands of the National Geographic Society and force the submission of Peary’s records to examination by a European s0- ciety, and for this reason Dr. Cook may have gone to the Danes, for he evidently knew that if they ever got hold of Peary’s records, they would give a just verdict. If Dr. Cook had not come On the fleld, the verdict of the American scientists might never have been questioned, and as this society has been back- ing Peary, they would naturally be compelled to sus- tain any announcement Peary might make to the world. Let us not & too hard on Dr. Cook until we know his ultimate motives for doing what he has done, whether he is the real discoverer of the pole or ot. In my opinion, he is holding back some valuable information which he will give to the world later, after the storm has calmed down. He may yet win favor with the public, after Copenhagen has had a chance to review Peary’s records, H. L. C. Hannibal, Mo. Advice Wanted. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. For the consideration and advice of those compe- tent to judge, I submit the following: Am 32 years of age, married; family consisting of wife and two children; hold position in railroad of- fice which has some future at salary of $100 per month. Father (now dead) was a drinking man. Up to twenty-third year I did not drink. Since that time have been drinking; lately very much, until a week ago, when I quit. First time I ever “cut it out” since starting. Am heavily tn debt for my position in life; owe $1400, all unsecured, save $85, which is covered by an assignment in favor of a money lend- er of my December (this month’s) salary. Bank- ruptcy will retard my progress in my field of labor for the reason that, once a bankrupt, bonding com- ‘panies will refuse to become surety—and in the line of progression my next advancement would require a bond. Some of my creditors are pushing me hard; a garnishment means the loss of my position. Fur- thermore, bankruptcy is very dishonorable to my mind. Were you In my pésition, what would you do? Your advice is anxiously sought. I’m becoming sick from trying to figure out a solution to the problem. a. 34 ah Street Car Ri Regulation. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ Referring to your article in last Friday’s Post-Dis- patch, it is my opinion that some further regulation of street cars would do a lot of good. If we are to depend upon the police to regulate traffic on our streets, I have no doubt that drivers of vehicles wil! receive plenty of attention from the police, while street cars will be allowed to blockade the streets and crossings unnecessarily. Just as long as the po- lice are allowed to receive favors from the street car company, just so long will the police show the company favors. I think an ordinance should be passed compelling cars to stop on the first crossing, instead of the sec- ond, or either stop motormen from running their cars up behind a car ahead when the first car is standing on @ crossing taking on or leaving eff passengers. It is a policeman’s duty not to allow this, as it is dan- gerous in case of bt besides blockading the street and crossing. J. N. KARR. WHERE WILL IT END? From the New York World. After the domestic affairs of Nicaragua, as the s¢- quel of a revolution, have been regulated by the @u- thorities at Washington to suit ves, how long will it be before they will have to regulate them again? Is every local disturbance to be the signa! for armed intervention by the United States? ‘The other Central American states—Guatemala, Costa Rica, Saivador and Honduras—may call for similar

WARNER’S DEFEAT DEMANDED. From the Maryville Republican. We, believe that there is one way in which Mr. Dickey, or any other good Republican can defeat Senator War- ner, and that is by coming out with a strong .platform, which will appeal] to the tremendous radical spirit of the nation, and especially of the West. In other words, the man who defeats Sen- ator Warner must be an insurgent. He must take up the battle cry of those! splendid leaders of the people, true followers of Roosevelt—LaFollette, Cum- mins, Dolliver, Beveridge, Bristow, Clapp, Nelson, Murdock, Lenroot, Fow- ler, et al. Let Mr. Dickey come forth on a platform of progressive Republican- ism, let him join the ranks of the in- Ssurgents, and he will be acclaimed with such enthusiasm that the stand- patters of the State will cry for peace rather than for war. The Republicans of Missouri are as progressive as the Republicans of the states of Wiscon- sin, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Indi- ana and other Western states. Mis- souri will become an insurgent state just as seen as the right leader ap- pears to take up the battle for the people.

SIIE WANTED TO KNOW. From the Atchison Globe. An Atchison woman who does all the housework for her husband and herself and four children, everything from washing and ironing to sweeping, with no ore but herself to lift a hand to wipe the children’s noses, recently read, while rocking a cradle with one foot and running a sewing machine with the other, of a certain rich and idle woman who had nervous prostration. The overworked woman gave a sniff; then she gave another, and her sniffs of disgust and doubt came so loud and rapid that they sounded like a railroad engine on a frosty morning, and caused a team tied in the next block to run away. “I'd like to know,” said the woman, still eniffing, while she wun- dressed one baby with one hand and spanked another baby with the other, “what SHE has to do that gave her nervous prostratien!"

A WOEFUL TASK. From the Kansas City Journal. “You look harassed. You should have done your Christmas shopping earlier.’’ “I've done my shopping. Now I’m try- ing to convince the children that they want what I got for ‘em.”’ . What Every Woman Kno There was company at yen and father was carving his prettiest on a fine rdast.

PLAYED NO FAVORITES.

Most of the evening costumes at the opera and in the boxes at the the- ater show tunics of one sort or another, dozens of variations being affected by the dressmakers in the long, clinging tunic lines. The minute a tunic is belted in at the waist it becomes a ‘‘blouse,”’ according to the Russian vernacular, no matter what its length. Some of the Russian blouses fall quite to the knee; others ex- tend only a few inches below the belt; but below the belt they always do ex- tend, for the bodice and skirt combina- tion has no place in Russian considera- tion. Ps HE velvet “‘blouse,’’ bordered all T around with fur and belted at the waistline, is the midwinter dress fad in New York. These blouses are supposed to imitate the peasant smock affected by Tolstoy, one side of the front in the Russian fashion, with baggy lines and broad shoulders extending into the _ sleeves. The fur border goes all around the bot- tom and runs up the edge of the side fastening and around the wrists of the sleeves and is usually the fashionable skunk, which—as has been said—ap- proaches nearest to Russian sable. These ‘‘bhlouses” may or may not be worn over velvet skirts, but the skirt, of whatever material, is always in the same color as the velvet blouse coat. Sometimes these blouses are worn over little afternoon tea frocks of cashmere de soie or permo stuff—a popular wool and mohair mix- tures which comes in all the charming “vague” colors of the moment. HIFFON blouses or tunics in the style of those worn by the sturdy little Czarevitch, Alexis, are worn over wool and permo dresses, though of course these chiffon affairs do not serve as coats as do the velvet blouses. They are cut in true Russian style, with sleeves all in one with the body of the garment and no arm seams. The neck is cut out in a square or straight across from shoulder to shoulder in the Russian fashion and is finished with a band of Russian embroidery, which continues down the side fastening. A belt of the embroidery combined with leather gives a snappy finish to the Czarevitch tunic. ™ the re-establishment of the belt in favor is an important feature of the Russian craze. After hiding away in ‘oblivion for two years, the belt emerges in new and gorgeous character. Deep- toned embroideries are combined with red or black leather, and wonderful clasps of beaten gold and ailver, and these new Russian belts are a conspicu- ous item of the costume, for they are extremely wide, ranging from three to six inches across. HE prevalence of black this season 7 is another result of the Russian craze. The black ballet at the Chatelet Theater in Paris, last summer, was the talk of the town, and courtier- fiers made haste to borrow ideas from the chic black costumes of the Russian dancers who formed the ballet.

DIVISION CLUB} a

Fans Are. Likely to Expect Impossible Things From Roger's Team in Season of 10910.

_ T By JAMES CRUSINBERRY. HORE are quite a number of baseball fans in St. Louis who are expect- ing something from the Cardinals next season. About half of the popula- tion is hoping for impossible things. It all came from a bit too much boosting ome year ago when Roger Bresnahan took command. He has been made a hero without giving him a chance to earn his title. ‘Roger did exceedingly well last spring in the early games. The pace was hot until midseason. Then things began to go wrong and the team deteriorated to the end ef the season. But it was hardly Roger’s fault. He had certain ideals regarding players and the game and he was pnly working toward a fu- ture goal S&S he let out a few men, made a trade\or two and hired a few new ones that were promising. The early unity of ihe club was broken and the team played, miserable ball for the entire second half. Now those who are expecting the Cardinals to break into the one-two- three class or even into the first division next season are almost sure to be dis- appointed. Bresnahan hasn’t the . ma- terial there to turn such a trick. He can’t get the material either, and until some of the old stars on the big teams die, and someiof his youngsters develop, the Cardinals .are quite sure to stay down with the trailers. Roger would most certainly be doing the unexpected if he should land the team fourth next season. Yet it has leaked out that Owner Stanley Robison would have forced a few trades during the recent meeting in New York that would probably have ‘made a first division team of the Car- dinals next summer. It is well known that he held the deciding yote in the League. Brush of New York, Murphy Fogel of Philadelphia were voting for John M. Ward. New York, Chicago and Philadelphia are big, strong clubs, with more stars tham they know what to do with. Murphy and Brush were wild in their efforts to elect their man, John M. Ward, as leader of the league. It has been learned that both Brush and Murphy made offers of trades to Robison if he would give his vote to Ward. This would elect Ward. What players were offered could not be posi- tively ascertained, but it is said that Brush offered the pick of the pitching staff with the exception of Mathewson, and was willing to give Cy Seymour and a couple of infielders, one said to be Fletcher, the startling youngster who was in a few games last season. Murphy was almost as active. He would have given most any man on the team except Overal, Evers or Brown. Robison could undeubtedly have pro- cured two excellent pitchers, a great in- fielder and at least one start outfielder, fer absolutely nothing, had he been will- ing te vote as these men wished. There are few magnates who would have turned down such a proposition, and Stanley Robison deserves great credit for doing what he considered right, though it may have deprived him of the chance te make a fortune in a year. As it is, the Cardinals must struggle with many new mer next season and gradually develop inte a club fit te

election of a president for the ‘Murphy of Chicago, Ebbetts of Brooklyn and fight for a first-division position. _ Marphy and. Taft the Men Behind the Phillies; HE news was given out in Philadel- phia Thursday that Charles P. | or a Taft is the man behind Horace Fogel ijn the purchase of tle Phillies. Rut it is only known that he has pur- chased. the real estate on whieh the ‘ball park is situated. The property was recorded Thursday in the name of Charlies P. Taft’s wife. -* Undoubtedly Charley Murphy, the talk- tive owner of the Chicago club, was the, ~ man who induced Mr. Taft to invest in . the Phillies. He probably suggested the - Mame of Horace Fogel as the new presi- @ent of the club and more than likely _ Charley Murphy has much to say in : running the affairs of the Phillies today. . A month before the National League _) meeting, Murphy wagered a suit of @lothes and an overcoat with Garry - Herrmann that John M. Ward would be - elected president of the league on the - first ballot. At that time, he thought Nes so he wagered with Herrmann. of @ourse he lost the wager because he fign ley Robison the wrong way. It’s syndicate baseball to have Taft 3 Murphy interested in the Philadel- _-phia club and the National League needs a cleaning out. Garry Herrmann Club May Be Sold and scrub-brush and call all the other +magnates to his office and give them a good washing. When he gets through with the job, we weuld probably see new ewners in both Philadelphia and Boston. There are plenty of good, re- sponsible business and sporting men who have the capital to invest in these clubs, but they can’t buy because Bar- ney. Dreyfuss, owner. of the Pittsburg club, seems to have the ruling hand over Boston, and Murphy and Taft un- doubtedly have the power in the Phillies club. Charlies P. Taft is rich eneugh to buy all the clubs in the National League, and’ distribute them among his own friends f playthings, and still hold the whip ovér them all. He is a splen- did man to be connected with the League, but he should be allowed to invest his money in but one club, so his interest will be undivided. He was induced to buy the Chicago club a few years ago, and turn over a controlling interest to Charley Murphy. It has made big money for him, and conse- quently he probably thought it wise to buy another, in the Phillies, when Murphy suggested it. Now his inter- est will be divided, and while that might work in business matters, it will never do in sport, for the interest lies in winning, and it’s possible for but one

te. to win.

Has a New Rule for His “Umps” CINCINNATI, Dec. 31.—Manager Clark Griffith of the National League rules committee says there is one rule relating to umpires which ought to be changed. “T do not like to be called a kicker,” said Griffith yesterday, ‘but it does make me mad to have an umpire around in the way when you've got a good play on and have him step into it and knock the whole busiress out. “Very often I have seen signals go wrong because an umpire was in the way and the players could not see. I want them to stand on the outfield side of the base line and give their decisions there, the oth- er umpire remaining behind the catch2r at all times, “I think with this rule in force we could have a whole lot less wrangling than we have now and that the people would really get a little better ball playing for their money.’”’

Dick Baren, Old Secretary, Says Big Fellow Is in Best of Condition. BY ROBERT EDGREN. NEW YORK, Dec. 31. ICK BAREN has been Jim Jeffries’ [) private secretary ever since Jim swam half a mile out. to sea at ALenhurst (Jin? was training then for the. Corbett fight) and rescued Dick frem drowning. Dick came to New York Thursday night on a fiying trip. He left Jeff in St. Louis and will rejoin him in Chicago at the end of the week. Dick has been with Jeffries for 11 years and has seen all of his training for big fights since he won the world’s championship. I won't say that Jeffries is ready to fight today,’’ said Baren, ‘“‘but he’s in as fine shape as I ever saw him at the be- ginning of a training season, and when he fights Johnson he'll surely be better than ever before in his life. Jim never did train more than six weeks for a fight. This time he is going to train for six months. He’s working hard now every day—mifth harder than Gotch, who is traveling about with the show.

not to be denied victory in the second en-| o’clock in the morning. It didn’t get in until 2 o’clock. The crowd had gone from the depot to the theater to make sure of seeing Jeffries. ‘‘Hisses? We certainly didn’t hear any. There weren’t any, and if there had been, nobody could have heard hisses in such ,a roar of cheering as there Was every second of the time while Jeff was in sight. I tell you, the col- ored people in Galveston were wild over Jeffries. They want him to whip John- son just as much as the whites do, They hate Johnson in his own town. Colored Men Hate Johnson. “At the depot when we left I stopped to talk with several colored men. I asked them why Johnson didn’t ever go to Galveston. “ ‘He doesn’t care to,’ they said. “The colored population of Galveston will never let him put his foot in this town. He’s too independent to mix with his own race. He married a white woman and stirred up prejudice against us all through the South. We'll all be mighty giad if Jeffries beats him.’ “At Dallas, Tex., we found that a big Turk wrestler had been going all around with his manager showing fake wrestling articles with a fake Gotch signature. They were saying that the Turk,* Hassaen, _was matched with Gotch. Hassaen and his manager came behind the scenes at the theatre to see Gotch. Gotch asked what they meant by showing a fake contract with him. The manager explained that they wanted a match, and were just trying to work up interest. “Gotch said that he would wrestle the Turk right away. The manager said that wasn’t what they wanted. But the crowd had been tipped off that the Turk was in the house. Gotch went out in front and made a speech saying the Turk was on hayd, but wanted to back out of the match. He said he'd give the Turk $250 if he failed to throw him in 15 minutes, and $1000 right on the spot if he failed to throw him twice in an hour. The Turk was forced to go on. Gotch threw him in six minutes, and he wouldn’t wrestle the other fall. “Jeffries is going to build the great- JEFF IS NATION’S HERO AND IS CHEERED AT EVERY STOP est training quarters a fighter ever had. It’ll be on the beach, néar Los Angeles. He'll get the greatest training staff ever seen in a fighter’s camp. I hear Tommy Ryan says he has thrown Jeffries down and won’t help him train. That’s a joke. Tommy Ryan came to see Jeffries in Memphis, and wanted Sam Berger to fix it up for him to act as Jeffries’ trainer. Jeff wouldn't have anything to do with him. ‘‘Just to show how confident the men with Jeff feel over this fight, H. H. Fra- zee, one of the big fellow’s managers, bet $5000 to $4000 on Jeff in Chicago. “Bob Vernon told me he would bet $6000 on Jeffries, even money, with anybody that wants Johnson’s end. He meant it, too. And down through the South, why, even the colored waiters and porters in the hotels came around to tell us that they’d intended to bet on Johnson, but after seeing ‘what an awful strong man Jeffries was and not fat,’ they would switch to him.”’ Dalwitz Victar by Knockout in K. of C. Bouts Both Charley Dalwitz and Leo Kelly won their prizes in the amateur boxing tournanient at the Knights of Columbus tourney Thursday evening. Dalwitz knocked out Johnny Ray in the second round of their contest which was sched- uled to go three rounds.

MYSTERY IN ILLNESS

Efforts to Throw Secrecy Around Affair Gave Grounds for Much Gossip. spodiat Cable to the Post-Dispatch and ago York World. nt, Press Pub. Co. etadeass lew Tork World PARIS, Pate 31.—Dr. Robinson, physi- cian at the British Embassy, a man of the highest reputation, assured the New York World and’ Post-Dispatch corre- spondent that there was nothing mys- terious in Earl Percy’s death. Dr. Rob- juson held Percy in his arms when he Ned “The report that Earl Percy was wounded in a auel with pistols last Mon- day is a ridiculous and cruel false- hood,” said/Dr. Robinson. “‘His death was caused by pleufisy, following con- gestion of thé lungs, due to a cold he contracted in crossing from England the day before Christmas.” | All, others intimately concerned. deny that Peréy was woun in a duel. This is accepted as a fact generally; But Paris newspapers still insist that two Englishmen: fought a ‘duel on Monday at Levesinal, a suburb of Paris. The proprietor of the hotel where Lord Percy died asserts that the Englishman put up there whenever he came to Paris, being rather frail in health and seek- ing quiet and seclusion from his coun- trymen. After careful examination, the police say Lord Percy “died of natural caupes."’ MYSTERY THROWN AROUND THE DEATH CAUSED MUCH GOSSIP Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright. Big BY Aoy| Pub Co. LONDON, aa 31.—Few well informed persons believe.there is any mystery behind Earl Percy's death. But every- body acknowledges that the circum- stances surrounding the ‘fate of this well-bred, brainy, quiet-living man are sufficiently peculiar to wag the tongue of gpssip. The Duke of Northumberland’s heir, who was only\38 years old, a student, author, a ‘bachelor and a rising tary in Conservative governments, went to Paris alone two days before Christ- mas. He registered as “‘Mr. Percy’’ at a railway hotel and was so seriously fil there that two nurses and two doc- tors attended him from Christmas eve. Not until he was at the point of death were his relatives advised that he was in danger. The news of his illness found its way into the English newspapers. This first news was followed by a bulletin stating that Earl Percy was getting better. Bat it is now known that at the very instant the bulletin was published his tion was hopeless.

2 Se ee fir DURING ER SUIT Declares That ‘Wealthy Hus- band Left Her Without Any Means ef Support.

Samuel A. Thompson, one of St. Louis’ lavish ‘“‘spenders,”’ is said to be $60,000.a year, is defendant in a divorce suit brought by Mrs. { Celeste Clark Thompson, who alleges desertion and indignities at the hands of her husband. Although Thompson is one of the three heirs to the millions of the late William H. Thompson, former president of the Nationa] Bank of Commerce and treasurer ‘of the World's Fair, Mrs. Thompson declares she has been- left without means of support and asks maintenance during the suit. and ali- mony. She is living with her father, Silas E. Clark, president of thes James Clark Leather Co., at his home, 4363 McPherson avenue. Thompson was sued a few weeks ago by the Lichtenstein Millinery Co. of New York for $2000 worth of hats and dresses, which Mrs. Clark declared at the time were not bought for her daugh- ter, as she never received them. The petition did not state for whom the ar- ticles of woman’s wearing apparel were purchased. The defendant is president of the Thompson Investment Co., -which was created by his father to take charge of his estate, amounting to several mil- lions of dollars. Mr, and Mrs. Thompson were married April li, 1899, and separated Dec. 14, 1908,. according to tHe divorce petition. Both plaintiff and defendant decline to discuss the sult.

But the men who know Lord Percy best, socially and politically, say-his life was blameless. He was earnestly religious and devoted to political work and study. His whole life was so emi- nently serious that his friends refuse to associate him with any scandal. Only a few sessions ago, in the House of Commons, he incited irreverent tit- terings by announcing that he had at- tended Sunday school all his life and that he believed every young man should go to Sunday school. He was. small, with bent and narrow shoulders and slender legs. A familiar figure in the House of Commons, where he had represented South Kensington since 1895. Lord Percy had a long, nar- row face, protruding lips, longish, fair hair and a finely shaped head, which denoted brains. He was a clever, fluent speaker, but his superior air seemed to accord ill with his insignificant ap- pearance and made him no friends in Parliament. Lord Percy was to be the next Con- servative chief secretray for Ireland: he was a strong advocate of coercion there. He was the only one of the Duke of Northumberland’s family of 12 who 4id not marry. The present Northumber- lands are not Percys, but Smithsons. A Sir Hugh Smithson married the heiress of the Percy family and King George III revived the dukedom. The family, enormously rich, dwell in great state, but rarely enter in general society.
