Folk issued aistatement Saturday declaring thet he ig not inclined to make the race for the Imocratic nomination for United tes Senator, but may do so if strong- ‘ly urged. He prefers, he says, to stay t of the senatorial fight, but is not réady.to make a definite announcement the has heard from his supporters roughout the State. - The statement foilows: + Phere has been much misleading wpecnlation in reference to my po- sition on the senatorship that it *becemes nécessary for me to de- Zine-my posi I say frankly that ‘the senatorial race has not been at- —2* to me, and I have not been 4nctined to enter that contest.

Creecy was neglectful in not detecting Healy’s shortage?’ Bland was asked. “The public may draw its own con- clusions,” he replied.

~~ JBSHOP APPROVE ay} COLUMBIA BOTTO gher’ — — — FORFLING RAGE Decision Follows Inspection of Tract by President of Aero Club of America. NO PROMISE OF MEETS He Declares New York and Denver Have Not Been Assured of Favor. Courtlandt Field Bishop of New York, president of the Aero Club of America, who is here to preside at the conferenco of aero clubs at the Hotel Jefferson, de- clarod Saturday after an inspection, that Columbia Bottom, first suggested by the Post-Dispatch as sultable for an aviation field, would make a very good field.. He was particularly weil pleased with the proximity of the river, along the course of which aeroplanes could race with less Hability to disaster if anything should go wrong, as the wa- ter would break the force of the fall, The approval of, the site by Mr. Bishop is believed to improve the chances of St. Louis to get one of the international meets this year. Mr. Bishop was taken to Columbus Bottom, which is south of the Chain of Rocks, by Albert Bond Lambert and Eugene Cuendet of the Aero Club of St. Louis. Some pointed questions will be put to Bishop by aero men when the con- ference is held. They will ask him, for one thing, ?f he has promised to give the interns- tional aeroplane races to New York, and for another thing he will be asked if he has promised to give the interna- tional balloon races to Denver. He has said to individuals that it wii; be impossible for him to name th cities that will have the meets until after his return to New York a montt hence, but a dispatch from Denver to the Post-Dispatch states that he has promised the balloon races to that city, and there is a well-grounded belief that assurances have been given to New York that the aeroplane races will ¢0 there. Factors Determining Choice. At any rate, Mr. Bishop will be asked to say what are the factors that are to determine the choice of the cities. In his trip across the country Mr. Bishop has managed to leave the im- pression wherever he stopped that each city had as good a chance to get one of the meets as any other. When Mr. Bishop was told Saturday of reports from New York and Denver that promises had been made to those cities he emphatically denied it. He said he had not promised- either of the meets toany city and could not do so until after the meeting of the club in New York next month. Inclosed Aviation Field.

a hung jury. \ The Terminal is being tried for ob- structing Scott avenue. The jury select- ed to try the cases {s composed of Ed- ward F. Campbell Jr., insurance, 4255 Westminster place; Anton Fohrell, buy- er, Meyer Bros. Drug Co.: Henry M. Eckerman, clerk for the Mermod, Jac- card & King Jewelry Co,.; John J. Cor- nell, salesman for the Devoy & Kuhn Coal Co.; Herbert E. Ecker, cashier for Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney. Dry Goods Co., and Frederick Campbell, manager of the Buick automobile agency. After the jurors had been exam- ined as to their qualifications, Judge Tracy asked them if they thought the city was going too far in the prosecu- tion of the Terminal Association. — Steck Broker Proteata. Jamés H. Hoskins, a stock and bond broker, of 8662 Delmar’ boulevard, who had qualified as a juror, arose and statedhe thought the city was going beyond reasonable limits in the prosecutions. He was excused. President McChesney and other of- ficials of the Terminal Association whe testified at the first two trials were not in court Saturday, but the gubstance of their testimony was pre- sented to the jury by stipulation, On Monday the Terminal will be tried for obstructing Hall avenue at Destre- han street, and for laying tracks without legal permission on Ewing avenue. The + in which the jury was hung Fri- y afternoon will be retried Tuesday. Must Vacate Street First. The Terminal submitted an ordinance passed by the Municipal Assembly per- mitting it to lay tracks on Cardinal ave- nue, but Judge Tracy held the ordinance Was invalid. Before passing such an ordinance, Judge Tracy said, the Mu- nicipal Assembly first must vacate the street. , Judge Tracy's ruling would invalidate | between 300 ana 400 rallroad ordinances enacted by the Municipal Assembly without the previous formality of de- e are grants to railroads. tion of his seclusion, given by a friend of the deposed secretary to a Police Commissioner, is that others believed to have had a hand in looting the fund have threatened his life to prevent him from turning state’s evidence. Col. Laird Saturday compared the scandal in the police fund to a -cancer which must be ruthlessly cut out, root and branch. He declared that members of the Executive Committee of the as- sociation must have had guilty knowl- edge of Healy’s deficits. Bland says that any vigilant of- ficer of the fund should have been suspicious when Healy, in May, 1909, turned over :to the treasurer only $2932 instead of the customary monthly collection approximating $5000. It has been learned that the collections, for that month totalled $4437, and of this $1605, as revealed by a computation of the shortage found in Healy’s handwriting, did not sind its way to the treasurer. - Suspicions Aroused Last June. Gillaspy told Col. Laird as far back as last June that there were grounds for an investigation of the Relief Associa- tion’s affairs. Col. Laird made inquiries in an effort to verify Gillaspy’s suspi- cions, but was thrown off the track by the implicit confidence manifested by a higher official than Gillaspy in the in- tegrity of the officers of the associa- tion. — “While I was acting Chief of Poli during the absence of Chief Creecy o his vacation laét June I attended the ball game one Sunday afternoon and there met Healy and his wife,” said Gillaspy Saturday. “Healy was wear- ing fine clothes and diamonds, his wife was fashionably attired. They rode to the ball park in an automobile and Healy was smoking an expensive cigar. ‘My suspicions were aroused immedi- ately. I could not understand how Healy, on a salary of $8 a month, could be putting on so much style, I knew he could not afford it. The fact that he, as secretary, was handling funds of the relief association empha-

sized my suspicion. “Tt have been a member of the Police Relief Association for & years, and have been paying in my. dues and as- sessments during all of that time. I am deeply interested in that organization,

ee MONSTROUS FOuL, gigantic in stature, shambling and ungainly of movement, played and sung by @ Russian baritone who is an artist throughout every inch of his towering frame, held the Olympic stage in “Rig- oletto”’ last nigkt and thrilled with the pity and horror of that opera’s grim story tne souls of an audience that crowded the playhouse until its over- flow was standing three deep behind the parquét-circles farthest tier of seats. It was George Baklanoff who wore the motley of the Mantuan fester, and, true to the promise of his great achieve- ment as Amonasro in the Boston Opera Company’s production of “Aida” last Monday evening, this Muscovite singer gave to his St. Louls public the most greatly convincing Rigoletto seen and heard since the far days when Victor was in his prime. It was great alike in the playing and in the singing, so’ great that, even though Constantino swept the house off its feet with the vocal beauty and per- sonal yrace of his Duke of Mantua, and Lydia Lipkowska melted all hearts with - the sweet pathos of her Gilda, the Rig- - pletto of George.

—— —— tig S44 em, 1245 p.m. 1:00 p.m, —— for emotional expression of amazingly wide range. More than ever last night was this characteristic of the Baklanoff voice in evidence, because Verdi, a mas- ter of the great art of supremely comic and supremely tragic musical utterance, inspired to his sincerest endeavor by the dramatic appeal of the dreadful story of which the hireling Fool is the central figure, has given to Rigoletto a vocal utterance of the supremest op- portunity when that role is placed in grea ng. Begrnning .with the madcap quirks of the opera’s early scenes, swiftly taking on the deeper ominous note that comes with his sudden dread of evil befalling his cherished daughter, sedulously hid- den, yet, nevertheless, within the cruel love-reach of the woman-debauching | Duke, his master, the consistent emo- tional demand upon the Rigoletto voice is such as may not fully be met save by an organ of the supremest quality, its employment controlled by a mind of the keenest artistic inspiration. ‘The dread of evil overtaking Gilda, the realization of that evil, the crush- ing knowledge, later, that his inherent- ly pure child loves the bestial man whom her innocent beauty had en- tranced for a fleeting moment, the mad lusting for vengeance and the shrewd plotting to that end, the horror of the miscarriage of that plot for deadly jus- tice on: the Duke’s head, the ultimate tragedy when Rigoletto discovers that he has encompassed the sacrificial slay- Ing of Gilda rather than the heaven- demanded execution of her betrayer— these are the ever deepening notes that must be sounded by the Fool, even as, under compulsion, he must needs seem moving aimlessly under the fantastic impulse of his folly. It. is a tremendous task here set, and the artist who meets it qualifies then and there for the high- est distinction In the art of which he is by this performance proved to be so il- luminating an exponent. Baklanoff, the giant Russian, finely won his Rigoletto credentials last night and took his place among the great dra- matic baritones of the opera world’s muster rol] of fame. Happily, too, this great deed in great art was done before & vast audience that finely recognized and acclaimed the greatness of its do- ing. Rarely may one witness so genu- ine a recognition of big achievement as went across the footlights from. the crowded Olympic to the superb artist whose high and earnest endeavor so well deserved such recognition. It was the supreme event of the night, this Baklanoff triumph, and I feel sure that no one so fortunate as to witness its provocation and to take part in the re- Sultant response will ever forget the splendid experience. Mme. Lydia Lipkowkska, fellow-Rus- sion of the gigantic Baklanoff, was, as & Matter of course, heard and seen to far less advantage as last night's Gilda than as the lovely Lakme of Tuesday night’s production of Delibes’ opera, but she accomplished much more with this Verdi heroine than I remember to have seen done by any other singer in recent years. The purity and Gelfeacy of her voice found its congenital, even though limited, Opportunity in the Gilda score, and, in those rare moments of the testing of vocal volume, it proved thoroughly com- petent. Its frail-framed little owner seemed apparently as instinct with song and as capable of ite fullest strain or utterance, as some throat-ewelling for- est bird from whose little body come great streams of melody that fill the wide-stretching leafineas of the listening woods with their amazing tonal splen- dor, Dramatically, Lipkowska present- ed @ most touching and heart-moying portraiture, and her share in the even- ing’s complete triumph was ample be- yond the natural limitations of the Gil- da role. The Duke of Constantino's singing and Piaying would have “commanded the highest station in the night's perform- ance were it not for the overwhelming achievement of Baklanoff in the title role, a slightly lesser Rigoletto being surely doomed to séc¢éhdary rank by this Spanish tenor’s captivatir ‘ voice Constantino is the kk Mantua.

The audience was apparently enrap- tured of him—one seldom hears such tremendous acclaim ag followed and re- warded all his notable efforts of the evening. Nivette, the great Italian basso who vo convincingly sang the big role of Nilakantha, the Brahmin priest, in Tuesday night’s production of ‘Lakme’ was the Sparafucile of last night’s cast. He acquitted himself with genuine dis- tinction, profiting to the utmost from every opportunity afforded by this less important part, and commended himself tw the audience with undeniabte empha- tis. The Maddalena of Etvira Lever- oni Was uncommonly capable, and the minor! roles of the opera’s story were placed in good hands. Again, too, the chorus, under the stage management of Antonio Muschietto, and the orchestra, conducted by Arture Lugzatti, acquitted themselves with distinction.

i Story of : Tonight s Opera ‘ GE story of “) Pagliacci” finds its T tragic figures in 4 little Sicilian band of strolling players present- ing pantomime in the villages to which they make their way in 4 donkey van and on foot. Nedda, the company’s Columbine, the wife of Canio, its Punchinello and owner of the show, but she cherishes a guilty love for Silvie, an outsider who has followed the troupe in its rounds. Tonio, the clown, also is enamored of Nedda, and, making love to her, is re- pulsed and struck across the face with a whip in her hards. Revengeful, and knowing of her affair with Silvio, he brings her husband on the scene in time to overhear a conversation between the wife and her lover that reveals their guilt. Canto tries in vain to compel Nedda to tell her lover’s name. The village audi- ence begins assemble for the per- formance. It is a pantomime tragedy exactly paralleling the story then be- ing enacted within the little company’s real life, and Canio, wild with a deadly rage at his wife's faithlessness, makes the mimic tragedy real by stabbing Nedda in the back as she, realizing that he intends to kill hor, tries to escape. Silvio, in the audience, also sees Canio’s dreadful intent, and leaps to the stage, but too late to save Nedda’s life, he, also, being slain by the husband.

Stock and 4% Convertible Bonds—American Telephone and Telegraph Company Aside from owning and directly operating all the long distance and toll lines, the great work (and substantially the entire expense) of the Amer- ican Telephone & Telegraph Company is the administration of the affairs common to all its subsidiary companies. These com all the oper- ating Bell Telephone Companies in the United States and Canada, in- cluding also the Western Electric Co. These it controls by a majority stock interest. At ohe expense—with one effort, it solves a problem— perfects a system—tests, and adopts or rejects an invention orinnovation; and the result serves for all its companies. T it economizes time, . effort, labor and expense, and preserves harmonious uniformity of con- struction, equipment and operation throughout the united Bell System. The Astonishing Growth Due to This Centralized Administration is best shown by comparing figures from the angual report of Januay 1st, 1909 with 1900, just prior to the acquirement of the business and property of the various Bell Telephone Companies.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, As an economic principle the ‘‘cost of living’’ has not been increased and cannot be. However, a man’s earning power is decreased in direct ratio to the increase in the tax rate, which is rolling moun- tains high, and will probably continue to roll. This accounts for the milk in the cocoanyt. BILLY MIRROR. More Fences, More Cattle. To the Editor of the Pcst-Dispatch, In regard to shortage of meat and prevailing high prices, the meat and cold storage trusts are partly to blame, but they surely do not create a shortage ot cattle which really exists. They certainly do not prevent the farmers from raisifg stock. I believe the lack. of fences in the agricultdral districts have contributed more than any other means to the shortage of cattle. In every farming community you can see the decline of cattle raising ffom the time of the so-called stock laws. Before thé stock laws became effective every farmer had to put. up fences to keep out his neighbors’ cattle. Naturally, his fields were fenced in and he could and Would utilize them to raise cattle of his own. You can see thousands of fields throughout Missouri and other states without fences surrounding them— fields from which the regular crops havé been gath- ered that could and would be utilized for pasturage if they only were fenced in. I am fully convinced that if there was a law created compelling: everyone to fence in his prop- erty with cattle-proof fencing, especially in the rural districts, in less than 10 years there would be at least five times more cattle in the State of elis- sourl than at the present time. This would mean more meat, more dairy products and more hides at a more reasonable price. FARMING OBSERVER. Who Will Slay Food Goliath? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Is the United States Congress composed of nothing but cowards? Where is the David that will cut oft the head of Goliath Beet Trust? Come on, be brave, [some of you. Enact a law of love, God's law, a law that cannot be broken, a law that cannot be evaded by any court, a law that will make cold storage a blessing. for all people, a law that will make pure food pure indeed, a law that will prevent provisions from being cornered, a law that will stop the few money barons from becoming richer. If we permit such men further privileges they will control the United States in a short time. Who will be brave er.ough to deal this monster octopus—Beef Trust and Cold Storage—a death blow? E. J. KELLY. Terminal Propositions. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

I wonder if he’ will tell them the cause of the high prices as he told the farmer when he made his circle trip around the country during his compaign? I was Kan., the day he came through and “I well remember, and.so do the most of you, in 1834, 1886, 1892 and 1895, corn was 10 cents to 15 cents per bushel.

Your cattle and hogs aré bringing the highest prices ever known in the history of this country. Who made these things pos- sible? The Republican party, with its protective tar- iff.” Yes, indeed, he told the truth. It was the Re- publican party, with its robber tartff, that created trusts. and combines. Regardless of the increase of population and supply and demand (which Mr. Taft refrained from mentioning at that time), the robber trusts supported by the Aldrich-Cannon g@ng have boosted the prices beyond the reach of the aver- age man and the Taft idea has hétped it along. A. L. BLANKEN MEISTER. Stored Stuff Should Be Cheap. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, — In regard to the méat strike, I would like to say that I would suggest a national consumers’ league, whose object. would be to see what could be done about reducing prices on the necessities of life, to see that inspectors did their duty, and to find out what we are eating. If we are to eat cakes that are made out of rotten eggs, let us know it so that we may eat and then send for the doctor. ff. we are to eat storage eggs, oleomargarine, and other trash, let us buy it at what it is worth and not for some thing of which it is only an imitation.

From ‘the Detroit News. The first bie plum to fall off the automobile tree this week—for the Detroit automobile tree has been ex- ceptionally fruitful of late—is the an- nouncement that the Lozier Motor Co., of New York, will erect a $1,000,000 plant in Detroit. ($1,000,000 plants bioony so plentifully here that we way.) Options have already béen se-; cured on land, and if plans are not delayed the plant will be in complete operation next summer. The signifi- cance of this fact to every field of labor and business here represented cannot be exaggerated. We are wit- nessing here in Detroit the attractive , power of a large group of successful businesses to pull other businesses. , Large concerns naturally gravitate te the vicinity of large concerns. Even geographical contact with strong concerns seems to add an element of strength to a business. In the future the fact that an automobile is made in Detroit will be as assuring as the fact that a watch was made in Elgin or Waltham or a piece of cutlery in Sheffield. Detroit is bound to be- come the hub of the motor world. — HAPPY KANSAS, From the New York World. These are good times in Kansas. Gov. Stubbs has said so. Nearly half the jails are empty. Ditto the poorhouses. The mortgages are lifted. Farmers ride to and fro in their own automobiles. Bank examiners examine. The grass- hopper has ceased to be a burden. The only wicked are the trusts, the railroad rates and strong drink in the original package from Missouri; and these fall to flee only because no Federal judge pursueth. “‘We have,” says the Governor, not by any means boasting, ‘‘the most industri- ous, the best educated, the most moral peoplé of any state, and I guess we have more money per capita,’”’ As for the powers behind the packer combines. Gov. Stubbs says, says he: “If I was President of the United States I would send these fellows to jail in ten days.” All this from the Sunflower State is g00d news. Read before breakfast it will make the optimist’s day; read after ing. Why do we discuss the question of uniform laws for all the common- wealths? Why not a general, provi- dential statute determ!ning that all peo- ple and all times in the ‘Union shall be as good as they are in Kansas? —— — DEPRECIATING DOLLAR. From the Springfield Republican.

Qe the edge of the forest frontage at the fear of the old post, when I caught glimpse, in the dim light, of a hur- rying figure, which in some way seemed to be different from the blan- ket-covered squaws who stalkec here | and there about the post grounds. She passed steadily on toward a long-and low log cabin, located a short dis- tance beyond the quarters which had been assigned to me. I saw her step up to the door and heard her knock; then there came a flood of light more light than was usual in the opening of a frontier cabin. This dis- plaxed the figure of the night walk- er, showing her tall and gaunt and a little stooped; so that, after all, I took her to be only one of our Amer- ican frontier women, being quite sure that she was not Indian or half- breed. This emboldened me, on a mere chance—an act whose mental origin I could not have traced—to step up to the door after it had been closed, and myself to knock thereat. I heard women’s voices within, and as I knocked the door opened just a trifle on its chain. I saw appear at the crack the face of the woman whom I had followed. She was, as I had believed, old and wrinkled, and her face now, seen clos?, was as mysterious, dark and inscrutable as that of any Indian Squaw. Her hair fell heavy and gray across her forehead, And her eyes were small and dark as those of a native woman. Yet, as she stood there with the light streaming upon her, I saw something in her face which made me puzzle, ponder and start—and put my foot within thé crack of the door, “Threlka, ” I said, quietly, tel] Madam the Baroness it is I, Monsieur Trist of Washington.” * CHAPTER XXVLL.

I took in the details of the long room in which *we stood. I swear it was the same as that in which I had seen her at a similar hour in Mon- treal! It was the same I had first seen in Washington! I saw all this; but ere I had finish- ed my first hurried glance I had ac- cepted her, as always one must. just as she was. “Yes,” said ‘she at length, slowly, “ves, I now believe it to be fate.” She had not yet smiled. I took her hand and held it long. I felt glad to see her, and to take her hand: it seemed pledge @ friendship; and as things now were shaping, I surely needed a) friend. At last; her face flushing slightly, she disengaged. her hand and mo- tioned me to a seat. But still we stood silent for a few moments. “Have you o curiosity?” said she at length. “IT am too happy to have curiosity, my dear Madame.” “You will not even ask me why I am here?” she insisted. “I know. I have known all along. You are in the pay of England. When I missed you at, Montreal, I knew you had sailed on the Modeste for Ore- gon. We knew all this, and planned for it. I have come across by land to meet you. Ihave waited. I greet you now!” She looked me now clearly in the face. “I am not; sure,’ — slowly. “Not sure of what; Madame? England: herself.

HERE is another side to this idea, 1 however, that is at times humor- ous, I.shall never forget the time I arrived at Davenport, Io., and found a giant blacksmith named Mike Sheehan waiting to annihilate me, He was noted as’ ‘the strongest man in Iowa.” Just before the exhibition at the theater his wife called on me at the hotel and with tears in her eyes begged of me not to meet her husband. She said she was the mother of five children and it was on their account that she did not want the fight to come off. “Well, isn’t your husband a great fighter?’ I asked her. “Oh, yes, indeed,” she said; whip anybody.”’ “Then why ts it you do not wish me to meet him?"

Incidentally, /Presi- dent Lynch regrets that President Charles W.

President Lynch said: “If Mr. Murphy has been, correctly quoted, I wish to state that he is ex- pressing only the views of Charles W. Murphy, president of one club in our league. He does not speak for the Na- tional League, no criticism of the work of the Rules Committee is in order tun- til the changes are officially promul- gated by the committee and, if I under- stand correctly, the provisions of -the national agreement, the power of such committee is absolute.

Basket Ball |

The girls’ Interscholastic basket ball cham- pionship will be decided this afternoon when the teams of the Yeatman High and Me- IKXinley High meet at the Louisiana Hall. For the first time these two schools have outstripped Centra] High, which always had a first-class girls’ five. The McKinley girls took Central into camp earlier in the season by a one-sided score and are favored to win this afternoon's game. However, Coach Fuller has been working diligently with the north-siders the past week and they have shown marked improvement. The game is scheduled to begin at 8. o'clock. Two very good games will be played at the Louisiana Hall tonight, when the Grace Church five clashes with the Pilgrim Con- gregationals in the preliminary, while the Universal A. C. plays the Premiere quintet in the feature contest of the evening. The first game will commence at 8:15. The Central High-Soldan game, which was scheduled for yesterday afternoon was post- poned until Tuesday. Yeatman High received a 538 to 18 beating at the hands of the fast Granite City High Echool team last night, at Granite Clty. The speed of the cast-siders was too much for the St. Louis team. In the Turners’ League, Sunday afternoon, the Socialis meet the Tower Groves and the St. Louls and North St. Louis teams come together. -.

4 EX" RICKARD says the reason a the big fight will be permitted in Utah is that, while the State does not recognize prizefighting, it does countenance boxing. Of course, $101,000 is not a “prize,’"; in the sense in which Mr. Rickard will use it. fome bexing’' and ‘some racing pro- motert have never arrived at the state of voderstanding where they can see that it Is impossible to so emaciate a carne! as to jam him through the gre of a acedle. Jimmy Walsh, the once clever Boston baniamweight prizefighter, was intro- duced before .his battle Friday night against Patsy Brannigan, as ‘‘the ban- tamweight champion of the country.” Tie right of James to jthe title is cer- tainly not a fee simple one. To make rasiters worse, Patsy had the unkind- ness t. wet an even break with James, thereby adding another scar to an escutcheon already badly battered. Walsh has not been the title holder for some years. He lost all right to it back in the days when Frankie Ne‘! and Harry lores were in the limelight in this division, and James has not shown much to attract attention to his recent work, Monte Attell and Danny Webster seem the scrappers who deserve most atten- tion.in this much mooted class.

This would make it appear that, even though base- ball is a sort of syndicate affair, it is an extremely benevolent one. The players have no voice in any af- fairs of the game and cannot even dis- pose of their own services at will. But it is greatly to the credit of the powers that be that he suffers very little, finan- cially. In fact it may be stated that any good baseball player who can per- form to a certain standard year after year, can steadily increase his contract value. It is extremely doubtful if, un- der haphazard conditions which would prevail were ballplayers to have the right to jump here and here, at the beck of the highest bidder, the men could better the prices now paid. Cer- tainly, after two or three years of the chaos which would result, the club own- ers would not have the money to pay anything like the prices that exist to- day.

Gpecial_to the Post-Dispatch. . CHICAGO, Jan, 29.—There are in Chi- 6ago today fully 3000 husbands fondling infants that are not their own, but ba- bies adopted by their wives, and the deluded “1athers’’ are none the wiser. Lyman W.° Rogers, treasurer of tie National Maternity Hospital, said to- day that some 250 infants are adopted from his institution into good homes ev- ery year. Of these, more than one- half, he further declared, are believed by the husbands to be their own. And While a majority of the babies are the 6tfspring of working girls, they enter homes in stations high above that which they would otherwise occupy. “Buch little ones are to be found in the homes of men whose names are known to newspaper readers as the leaders in certain circles, it was de- clared. Were the hospital’ authorities to give the names of some of their “cll- eéntele,”” according to Mr. Rogers, dis- closures vrould follow which would dis- rupt families. Husband Is Fooled. “Many childless women are found in society. ‘Hubby’ goes for a long trip. The wife pays us a visit, and when the deluded man returns he finds himself the proud ‘father’ -of a bouncing boy or girl,”’ said Rogers. “Jt is rarely that a husband wants a child that is not of his own blood. The average man will. not stand for the adoption of an infant unless his wife is delicate. “To “pull the wool over his eyes,” while the husband is in the house would neces- gitate the doctor and the nurse being in the plot. I have heard of such cases and read of such, but they are rare. to wait until the husband is called away.

It makes one faint to think of ‘ft, The ridicule would flow so, Wherefore we play it’safe and say Ttie book is only so-so.

The author’s rather audacious im- agination asks us to ‘consider that this was brought about by'a bex of books with which his hero was cast away upen an island. Rather faulty psychology, we dare say, but for the purposes of fiction a most excellent thing.
