Peters Company Pays 15 Cents for Service That Costs Individuals 25. DENIED Carrier Companies’ Raise Question of Board’s Juris- diction in Arbitrary. Farwell Walton, president of the St. Louis Express Co. which delivers in arbitrary territory for the railroad express company, admitted to the Missouri Rail- road and Warehouse Commission at the Southern Hotel Wednes- day that he discriminates in his rates. He.said he delivered packages to the Peters Shoe Co. for 15 cents each, but charges individ- uals 25 cents for. the same serv- ice. Walton also admitted that he collected express. carriage on many packages that are pre- paid, doing so because the \way bills had not arrived-or had been misplaced. \ “We knuow that many of these packages are prepaid,” said .Walton, “but the express companies want to be safe and we collect again at this end of the line.” Walton said he had a* verbal contract with all of the express companies to make. deliveries,for them and that he was bonded to them for $1000 and $2000 for faithful service. He said about one per cent of the customers refuse to pay the delivery charges, but he thought as @ general rule the people were satisfied with the service he renders. Kmows He Has Monopoly. “Tf have to make a haul of three to five miles on all packages delivered for the express companies,” Walton testified. “I know that I am a mo- nopoly. I have the service the ex- press companies want, and they come to me to get it. “During the Christmas holidays, when we delivered 8000 packages in eight days, I suppose we collected Gharges on 200 prepaid packages. On ‘about 200 other prepaid packages the consignees refused to pay, and we re- turned them. “The business I do for the express companies is about one-fifteenth of my entire business, and but for my other business I could net do it.” Walton estimated it would cost the five express companies approximate- ly $8000 a month to extend their free delivery servicé to all parts of the city. Says He Is Not Making Money. Walton said his company is capi- talized for $30,000 and was organized in 1901, absorbing the Walton-Knost Ex- press Co. He promised to furnish the commission figures Thursday as to the number of packages..delivered in 1909, and the amount of money collected by him for rendering the service. He said he had filed no schedule of his rates with the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, as his business is confined wholly to St. Louis. He said his verbal contract with the Adams Express Co. was that he Was to deliver all packages for 25 cents, He admitted be charxed a higher rate on some, and a lower rate on others, ang that discrimination was necessary inthe conduct of his busi- meses, He declared he was not mak- ing any money on the/delivery of the He said his rates were 2% | cente for « package of 50 pounds or 35 oonte 100 pounds, and 25 sand h additional’100 pounds. nents sad PARIS, Jan. 26.—The floods here.and. throughout France’ Have’ reached the di- mension of a- great national calamity.

Tréyer Ger 17 AnywwAtT By Aasociated Press. ~ WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—With Sena- | tor Nelson of Minnesota presiding, the congressional inquiry into the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot controversy began in earnest this afternoon, with Louis R. Gilavis on the witness stand. . Glavis is the dismissed field agent who preferred charges against Secretary of the Interior Ballinger in connection with the Cunningham coal mines in. Alaska. He sent the charges direct to President Taft, who, after considering them, wrote a long letter to Mr, Bal- linger, declaring he had been unjustly attacked and that Glavis should imme- diately be dismissed from the service. It was in connection with the prepara- tion of the Glavis charges against Sec- retary Ballinger that Gifford Pinchot was drawn into the controversy. Mr. Pinchot directed Associate Forester Price and Assistant Law Officer Shaw of his bureau to assist Glavis in fram-. ing the charges. These facts, proclaimed by Mr. Pinchot in a letter to Senater Dolliver, together with the letter itself, led to the dismissal of Pinchot, Price and Shaw from the forestry service. It was reported this morning that fol- lowing today’s session the committee would meet for the present on Fridays | wissourians.”* and Sattrdays. This arrangement, it is ’ believed, will give the senators and rep- resentatives plenty of time to attend to their legislative duties and carry for- ward the inquiry at the same time. The committée is starting with an ab- solutely clean slate. All that has been said and written in the past is, so far as possible, forgotten, and the case against Secretary Ballinger or anyone else upon whom the:attack may turn must be developed “in court,” although in this court of investigation there will be none of the strict rules of evidence to exclude any character of testimony which may be presented by the princi- pals in the controversy. Glavis announced that he would be represented throughout the heating by two attorneys, Louis D. Brandeis «f Boston and Joseph B. Colton of New York. Pinchot, Price and Shaw are all rep- resented by George W. Pepper, an at- torney of Philadelphia. Pepper and the Glavis attorneys will co-operate re- garding the conduct of the investiga- tion. i May Leneed Wire From the wove Wott ae Burenn of the Post-Dispa NEW YORK, Jan. %.—-On > held, entrance was gained by a Post- ' Dispatch reporter to one of the largest as terage plants in New York City “Yast night, and methods employed to - make tne public pay fictitious prices for "= food were seen at first hand.

At Tuesday’s session of the trial, Fenn was put through a savage cross-exam- ination by Conran, who is conducting his own defehse. Politics, a divorce suit, a marriage and various legal mat- ters were subjects of the queries. Several times the pointed questions of Conran and the spirited replies of Fenn caused the Judge to pound on his bench and direct that the examination be con- ducted with less heat. Fenn ahd Conran have had a feud since 194, when Conran, a Democratic politician, brought an attachment suit against Fenn and Mrs. Mal H. Powell in regard to some real estate. The at- tachment suit. was not sustained, and Fenn’s suit for damages on trial now’ is based on the time he lost from his law practice in St. Louis in fighting the suit. Fenn has other suits against Con-‘ ran, growing out of the feud in which he asks damages, aggregating about $200,- 000. Conran in turn sued Fenn, alleging conspiracy, and got a judgment in the case. It was alleged that Fenn was in-

Busche rold the commissioners his association would take them over the northern end ef the city in automobiles, carriages or wheel- barrows, just as they wished. They chose automobiles. Several North St. Louis business men and manufacturérs appeared before the commission and requested, it extend the free delivery boundaries to at least 5400 North Broadway. The companies do not make free deliveries beyond 380 North Broadway. “ Bond Is Raised. ‘Upon further information,” said Judge Klene, “‘I find it necessary to increase your bond $6000, making $10,000 in all. I shall also have to ask you igi addi- tional surety.’’ Judge Bishop leaped to nis feet. “Your Honor,” he exclaimed, “the courts ask no greater bond than that in murder cases. It’s exorbitant.” “The Court. feels in duty bound,” was the response, “to insure that Healy shall be in court whenever he is called upon, I do not consider $10,000 exorbitant un- der the circumstances, and Healy will stand committed until he furnishes it.” At the association’s headquarters, in the Magnolia Avenue Police Station, it is thought that many of Healy's rec- ords had been destroyed. It has been rumored all along that higher officials had borrowed heavily from the fund and failed to repay the loans. Now, the examiners fear, it may be impossible to implicate any wrongdoers in the thefts:save the men of the rank and file, whose arrests are under con- sideration. When informed that his shortage is now estimated at $25,000, Healy started back aghast. “T can’t for the life of me under- stand,” he said, “how they could have discovered so.large a deficit. There was absolutely no shortage that I knew of.” He declined to make a further state- ment. “I’m not talking,’ was his re- sponse to all questions.

It remains for the lawyers of Feur day and generation to spell out of this statute, neglected ‘now for three- quarters of a century, the authority for a@ proceeding of this sort.’’ Mr. Nicoll quoted from Washington, Jefferson, Hamilten and other distin- guished authorities to show that the suppression of the press was consid- ered antagonistic to the best interests of: the nation.

It Was an indictment against Croswell for an alleged Mbel upon Jefferson, thes to give any opinion to the jury upon tlfese points. He cited the opinion of Lord Mansfield, the case of the Dean of St. Asaph and declared that to be the law in the State of New York. The case Was made famous on appeal, by the strenuous effort to lift this judge- made common law of England from the jurisprudence of New York.

BURIAL PERMITS. James W. Halpin, - te Cora; tuberculosis. William Inge. 51, 4 Cottage; nephritis. Joseph Kurowski, 70. 1421 N. 12th; heart A ET ES a Acid Dyspepsia Nervous People Are Frequent Sufferers From Too Much Hydrochlorie Acid In the Stomach. A Trial Package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Sent. Free. “Sour stomach,” or acid dyspep- sia is a form of indigestion in which entirely too much hydrochloric acid is secreted by the stomach. A sour taste in the mouth is the most com- mon symptom of aciddyspepsia, and the saliva, which is normally alka- line, is found, when tested, to be changed to acid, or just the opposite of what it should be, and is.a state of the secretion which causes rapid and extensive destruction of the teeth. Everything eaten turns more or less sour in the stomach, but sweets and acid fruits are far worse in this respect than other foods. If the eructation of liquids from the stom- ach occurs, they have such an ex- tremely sour taste as to set the teeth on edge. / Hydrochloric acid is an important constituent in the gastric juice, but when too much of it is secreted, does. positive harm to the mucous lining of the stomach; and when acid dyspepsia is long continued it often sets up chronic gastritis, gas- tric ulcer, and other serious diseases. The premature loss of all-the teeth has been caused by acid saliva, which was dependent upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach. STUART’S DYSPEPSIA TAB.- LETS, besides furnishing pure, asep- tic pepsin to the stomach to dilute the excess of hyrochloric acid, and to digest proteids and albuminous foods very thoroughly, also contain bismuth subnitrate and calcium carbonate, which are antagonistic to the acid, and therefore neutralize the effect of the excessive amount of acid in the stomach, and the con- tinued use of these tablets will change the perverted condition of the secretions to a normal state. If you are suffering from “hyper- chlor-hydria,” as physicians term it, or in other words, acid dyspepsia, and experience a sour taste in the mouth, with acid eructations or heartburn, begin at once the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, using one or two after each meal, or as may be required, and the same quantity at retiring time, for if this trouble is allowed to run on, it may cause serious organic changes in the stomach. There are cases on record has

Even after I had fully explained that I had come..to interview Mrs.. Mc- Manus, who is remembered by so many old friends in St. Louis as the bewitch- ing Florence Bergere, her mirth did not subside. Hér complete self-possession in the face of an interview was remark- able for a woman, But it remained un- explained only until she had arranged us all in a hospitable group and made herself perfectly comfortable, and said: “Let George do it.”’ And George did. At first he jumped up and remon- strated, but with coaxing he subsided into the most gentle and accommodating compliance. He even seemed, after he got started, to be glad of the opportu- nity to inform the public that life is in reality a very sad joke to a comic art- ist. It is said that he-cleared only $35,000 last year from the arduous toil of pic- turing’the family history of the Newly- weds in the: New York World and Post- Dispatch, and receiving royalties from dramatic’ and other productions of Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed and Snookums.

I try. to see a whele building of them at one trip. “And teday a fellow who | new me in the eld days made an appointment with me here at the hotel, and busy as I am, seeing all these people, he kept me waiting half an hour. Why, in New York they always wait for me.

GOV, HADLEY RAPS ThE TERMINAL AT REALTY BANQUET Executive ecko That. Ar- bitrary Has Kept St, Louis From. Advancing. CALLS CITIZENS TIMID Declares They Should Insist on Fair Treatment and Competition. With a 2,000,000-acre land ‘“‘proposi- tion’’ on his hands, Gov. Hadley intro- duced himself to the Real Estate Ex- change banqueters at the Mercantile Club Tuesday night as the biggest real estate man of them all. He urged them to develop this commonwealth in order to prevent Texas from supplanting Mis- souri as fifth among the states in. popu- lation and. wealth. ‘ He also urged fearlessness in dealing with railroad and terminal problems. “The business interests of this city, he declared, “have been too timid in in- sisting on fair treatment. The reason St. Louis is not today the greatest city west of the seaboard is discrimination in transportation, matters. The rem- edy for the excessive, or at least arbi- trary charges for terminal facilities must come through methods of compe- tition.” Reclamation Is Discussed. The Governor also talked of reclama- tion of swamp land, saying that the riv- ers of Missouri were at present a posi- tive loss to: the State. Deep water in the Mississippi, he said, would make possible the reclaiming of great tracts which are now swamp land—a territory sufficient to raise farm products to sup- ply the needs of the entire State. “Gov. Gratz Brown congratulated the State in 1871,’ said Gov. Hadley, “that the census of 1870 had shown Missouri fifth in population and wealth among the states, and every governor since him has mentioned the same fact as a cause for State pride. But I am afraid that when the census returns of 1910 are in, Missouri. may be in sixth place, with -Texas fifth. If we do keep our position it will be because of the enter- prise of the cities and not thé advance- ment of the country. districts. But the prosperity of the cities depends on the farms, and we must develop the State.”’ The Governor also talked home rule, telling of his pian for the’ adoption of home rule laws by ‘the initiative, and praised Excise Commissioner Caulfield as a “fair and sane” official in a diffi- cult place. Sehutz Presents Figures. After the Governor had hurried away to take @ train for the State Immigra- tion Congress at Springfield, the thump- ing of the Terminal Association by oth- er speakers began. The crowd kept call- ing for Councilman Schutz, but the brush-bearded foe of monopoly did noi get the floor until nearly 11 p: m.

J. Hodjbrook, James P. Biake and} Gerald B. O’Reilly on realty. topics and President A. O.

WHAT IT SHOWS. Reports from all parts of the country show a _ Sudden sharp check to the advance in food prices. In some cases there was an actual decline in the quotations in the produce exchanges. In Plgin, Ill,, the price of creamery butter dropped from 33 to 32 cents. In the stockyards at Pittsburg - cattle prices went down. In Chicago there was a _ general tumble in all speculative produce. The _ price of wheat and corn and cotton and provis- fons went down along with the prices of beef and - pork. ’ The change that has come over the dream of _ the speculators and trusts is not due to any change in the economic condition of the country. The ___-Yisible and the prospective supply of all sorts of ss foodstuffs are. the same as they were last week. % The change has been due solely to popular revolt against extortion; the emphatic protests of an - aroused public. Washington has heard and heed- ed. Congress has begun investigations. Prosecu- tions are threatened. It was time for .platpcracy 3 to halt.

And when a husband divorces his wife for ‘abandon- - ment’ it’s no sign that he didn’t buy her ticket and see her off ' when she ‘abandoned’ him. But the primal cause of divorce in _ most cases, as in Elearior’s case, is the LAUNDRY.”’ You don’t say!’’ rejoined the Bachelor interestedly. ‘‘Their love gets ‘washed out,’ as it were?”’ Oe ‘“‘Bxactly,”’ agreed the Widow sadly. ‘‘You can get away |} rom every other problem on earth—from cooking, sweeping, dust- | ing, the servant problen——”’ c7. ~.. ‘But the laundry work goes on forever!’’ broke in the @ Bachelor. | | : al _. **¥es,’’ sighed the Widow. ‘‘The Highbrows tried every way | of living together. ° They had a housekeeping apartment WITH | Servants and a bachelor flat without them. They lived in hotels— /. and they even tried a boarding house. But the laundry followed _ them everywhere! And every week it was the same old story. Ev- _ ery Monday morning Eleanor had to face that awful pile of soiled _ linen and make a list of it before she sent it out. And every Sat- _ urday Jack came in with the same old cry of ‘Where’s that blue 2 shirt and white nécktie I put in?’ And every Sunday, there they found them, behind the trunk where he had flung them! . Love may “come and love may go, but the quarrels over the laundry go on ~ **There’s nothing else in married life that causes so much fric- - tion: If you put in ALL a man’s shirts and collars he rages over the bills, and if you try to economize he rages because he hasn’t enough collars.

A great many. newspapers and magazines are printing pages on how @ woman can be beautiful and keep beautiful.. And everyone, as you can see for yourself, admits that no woman can be really’ beautiful unless she has lustrous and luxuriant hair. The women of Paris are, as a rule, beautiful, and a careful American observer who has traveled much Claims that their beauty is due to their knowledge of how to keep their hair luxuriant, which they do by using a superior hair tonic. Many American women are as wise as their French sisters, and that is why Parisian Sage, the quick acting and greatest of all hair restorers and tonics, is now having such a tre- mendous sale in America.

Dream- ily as ever, he smiled and toos his leave. For myself, I walked on rap- idly after the two figures, then a block or so ahead of me. I-saw them turn Into a street which was familiar to myself. They passed on, turning from time to t.me among the old houses of tue French quarter. Presently they entered the short side street whicn I myself had seen for the first time the previous night. I pretended to busy myself with my pipe, as they turned in at the very gate which I knew, and knocked at the door which I had entered with my -mysterious companion! When You Can’t Sleep, Try This! Insomnia leads a good many peo- ple to experiment with liquors and even opiates, when there is really no need for such dangerous ex- tremes. Below is suggested a simple mix- ture which will quiet and strength- en the nerves and induce a natural sound, refreshing sleep, with no evil] after effects. From any druggist get-five cents’ ~ worth of Hops and 2 ozs, of Thargol Compound (about § fifty cents’ worth). Make a strong tea of the Hops by steeping in a pint of boil- ing water, and strain thoroughly. Put the Thargol in an 8-ounce bot- tle (exactly half-pint) and fil] up with the Hop Téa.

So, then, Helena von Ritz had other visitors! sngland and Mcxico weré indeed conferring here in Mon- treal. There were matters going for- ward here in which my Government was concerned. At the moment nothing better oc- curred to me than to return to my room and wait for a time. I resolved to wait until the next morning, and to take my friend Von Rittenhofen with me. He need not know all that I knew, yet in case; of any accident to myself or any sud- den contretemps, he would serve both as a witness and as an excuse fer dis- arming any suspicion which might be entertained regaraing myself. The next day he readily enough fell in with my suggestion of a morn- ing stroll, and again we sallied forth, at about 9 o'clock, having by that time finished a.dejeuner a la four- chette with Jacques Bertillon, which, to my mind compared unfavorably with one certain other I had shared. A sense of uneasiness began to oppress me, I knew not why, before I had gone half way down the uttle street from the corner where we turned. “It was gloomy and dismal enough at the best, and on this morn- ing:an unusual apathy seemed to sit upon it, for-few of the shutters were down, although the hour was now mid-morning. Something said to me that it would be as well for me to turn back. I might as well have done so. We passed up the little walk, and | raised the knocker at the door; but even as it sounded I knew what would happen. There came to me that curious feeling wuich one ex- periences when one knocks at the door of a house which lacks human occupancy. Even more strongly I had that strange feeling now, because this sound was not merely tnat of un- occupied rooms—it came from rooms empty. and echoing! I tried the door. It was not locked. I flung it wide, and stepped within. At first I could not adjust my eyes to the dimness. Absolute silenge reigned. I pushed open a shutter and looked about me. The rooms were not only unoccupied, but | unfur- nished! The wails and floors were utterly bare! Not a sign of human occupancy existed. I hastened out to the little walk and looked up and down..the street, to satisfy myself that I had made no mistake. No, this was the number—this was the place. Followed by my wondering com- panion, I made such inquiry as | could in the little neighborhood. | could learn nothing. ~ “Sir,” said I to my: friend, at last, “t do not understand it. I have pursued, but it seems the butterfly has flown.” So, both silent, myself morosely so, we turned and made our way back across the town. Half an hour later we were on the docks at the river front, where we could look out over ae varied ship- which lay there. My scientific ed! There would be an English land expedition across Canada to Oregon, Wouid there be also an expedition by sea? At least my errand in Montreal, now finished, had not been in vain, even though it ended in.a mystery and a query. To Be Continued in the Post-Dispatch Tomorrow.
