TRAIL OF TRAIN BANDITS

Missouri Farmer Reads Novels, Then Buys Commission as *Real’”’ Detective. Policemen Thau and Collins were standing at Second and Vine streets at 1 a. m. Sunday. Suddenly there loomed into sight a rustic figure, bent double, with the eyes glaring upon a faint track of heel marks on the sidewalk, and “with the right hand grasping an object of suspicious snape which bulged in an overcoat pocket, : “Sh-h-h-h!’’ was the sibilant greeting of the stranger, as his eyes fell upon the bluecoats. “Sh-h-h-h vaiaruent” *” retorted Collins. ‘What kind of.a sideshow do you call this?” demanded Thau. “Silence!”” hoarsely whispered the gumshoe man. “I am following the trail of the Glencoe mail car bandits. A moment more and they shall be mi-i-i-ne!”’ : And he proudly threw back the lapel of his coat, displaying a shiny tin badge of impressive circumference. His hand, withdrawing itself from his pocket, brought with it a revolver a foot long. ‘‘The miscreants shall not foil Mike Homan, the bloodhound detective of Panama, Mo.!"” exclaimed he, in tones ascending from the diaphragm. So absorbed was Homan in his own greatness that the policemen had dis- armed him and pinioned his arms before he was aware of their intention. He was almost heart-broken ~yhen he, was told he wast under arrest for imper- sonating an officer and carrying con- cealed weapons. “Why,” he protested, “I paid $10 for this badge to an agency in Lorain, O., and for a commission appeinting me a full-fledged detective. My first as- signment was to catch the Glencoe train robbers.”’ “Aw, tell it to Judge Tracy,” scoffed the unsympathetic policemen, as they conducted him to the Central -District holdover. ; Homa arraigned Monday in the Clark Avenue Police Court, said he was a farmer, 31 years old, and con- fessed a liking for detective stories.

Contractor in Germantown, ill., Finds Path of Reformer Is Rocky. An alleged persecution of two years, including boycotts, ostracism, “Black Hand” threats and endless litigation, has been visited upon Theodore Apke, 4 contractor and builder of Germantown, Ill., to avenge, he charges, his activity in behalf of legal regulation of the saloons of Clinton County. Even his wife has been made to suffer, he says, through insults on the street and prose- cution in the courts on various accusa- tions. Clinton County is a mining center, in- habited mostly by Americans and Ger- mans. Every day, and especially on Suniays, he declares, the lid is off. The contractor-reformer brought suits, as any citizen may do under the IIli- nois statutes, against several tapsters, who pleaded guilty and paid their fines. Then, he says, a crusade of retaliation was begun, which went to the length of preventing him and his son ‘rom get- ting work for the last two years, and of threats to poison the whole family by drugging their well. In the feud, Apke has been loyally supported by ‘his wife, Mrs. Lena Apke, and their son, John, 22 years old. Received Threatening Letter. In prosecuting the suits which he brought for the enforcement of Illinois laws prohibiting selling of liquor on Sunday or to minors and drunkards, Apke had to appear in the Circuit Court at Carlyle, the seat of Clinton County. After one such visit, he says he re- ceived the following letter: I like to give you notice that you better stay away rrom Carlyle and quit your d——n prosecutions. If you go there again you might get killed, because I got a ‘42”’ laying ready for you. You better stay at home or you might smell one of them pills the first tirme you go there. - You ‘ain’t the only guy, and that’s got to be stopped. You are nothing but one old fool, anyhow. Long death but not forgotten. Look out! A CITIZEN OF GERMANTOWN. Apke continued to enter complaints to the State’s Attorney, and other sa- loon keepers were fined for Sunday selling and serving minors. Soon after- wards he received this letter: I like to let you know that I feel fine and hope the same for you, but if you go to Carlyle again you won't live much longer and your whole family will get it. I drop some poison in your well and that settles the whole dirty work. (A string of oaths is expurgated here.) This is the last warning you get. You must not think you can bluff this whole town, not by a d——n sight. YOUR FRIEND FROM GERMAN- TOWN. Apke says he has found the senti- ment so strong against him that he has been obliged to come to St. Louis and employ Attorneys George E. Mix and John H. Sears to defend him. Ostracised by Residents. He has been unable, he says, to en- gage a physician to treat himself or any member of his family. No one will. sell him coal in Germantown, and he is compelled to buy his fuel at Breeze, the nearest village. Only the grocer and the bank will do business with him, he says, and he has been unable to get a single building con- tract for more than a year. But he says he has lived in Germantown 30 years, does not owe a debt and has a comfortable account in the bank. The first move of certain saloon men, he says, was to cause his arrest on a charge of fighting in a saloon. Apke is not opposed to orderly saloons and is fond of his glass of beer. Several men, he charges, embroiled him in an argument about Sunday closing and, when he had expressed his opinion, as- saulted him. He was arrested for dis- turbance of the peace, could persuade none of the witnesses, he complains, to testify for him, and was fined. Soon afterwards one of his neighbors, Miss Mary Stacey, caused his arrest on the charge of throwing a brick at her. Apke says that at the time the attack is said to have been made he was sitting péeacably on his front stoop with his family. He was again fined. His St. Louis counsel obtained a stay and an appeal is now pending in the Carlyle Circuit Court. Man and Wite Arrested. Clemens »Mueller of Clinton, ‘whom Apke sued and from whom he obtained a confession of judgment, is suing him in return, alleging that he obtained the admission of debt at the point of a re- volver. This Apke denies. Last Tuesday Apke and his wife were tried at Carlyle on a charge of resisting an officer. A consta»vle went to his home to arrest him on Miss Stacey's charge, and declared that Mrs. Apke interfered with him when he attempted to draw his revolver to force Apke to accompany him. Apke was fined, but his wife was acquitted. Immediately a suit was brought in Mrs. Apke’s ‘behalf against the con- stable, J. W. Peters, and his bondsmen, among whom are Prosecuting Attorney Murray of Clinton County and H. J. C. Beckmeyer, a member of the Illinois Legislature. Damages of $5000 are asked on the charge that Peters threatened Mrs. Apke with a revolver. This suit will be tried in June. RHEUMATISM | & teaspoonful eve" 7

ti INES 10 GET IN HOSPITAL Complain of Diseases to Fool Physicians and Get Three Meals a Day. ONE CURED BY BATH Another Changes His Symp- toms as Fast as Diagnosis Exposes Fraud. MALINGERER—In the army, one who feigns himself sick, or who induces or protracts an iliness,in order to avoid doing his duty; (see SOLDIERING); hence, in gene eral, one who shirks his duty by pretending oo or inability.— We r’s Dictionary Since the groundhog saw his shadow and beat a retreat to his hole in dread of six weeks more of winter, the City Hospital has become a ref ze for malingerers, or fakers of illness, who were willing to purchase, at the price of a few groans and lamentations, a warm bed and three square meals a day for an indefinite period. Monday, according to the physicians, there are four of these soldierers in the hospital wards. As the institution is overcrowded with bona fide patients, Supt. Kirchner has ordered the reception room internes to refuse admittance to any person who, after a careful examination, proves to have no sympiom of illness. The king of the malingerers, the doc- tors say, is Thomas Golden, 40 years old and without a home. He applied at the hospital Sunday, gasping and shaking as if in agony. The physicians asked him what ailed him, and he said, in dispairing tones: “IT believe I have malaria.’’ ‘This is an unusual time of the year to have malaria,’’ objected a sénior. “Maybe it’s typhoid,” suggested Golden. “Anyhow, I feel terrible.” He was sent to a ward, where he struck up acquaintance with a patient convalescent from appendicitis. A nurse heard Golden inquiring circumstantlally concerning the symptoms of the disease. Then he hatled a doctor. Changes to Appendicitis. “I'm sure I have appendicitis,” he moaned, ‘I have such sharp pains in the left side. I think it’s chronic. I’ve suffered with them ever since I was a boy.” “Appendicitis pains are always on the right side,”’ reniied the physician. “Of course; sure it’s my right gide,”’ said Golden, hastily, changing his hand, which was preseed to the supposed seat of pain, from the sinister to the dexter side of his stomach. “Then we'll have to cperate on you,”’ jested the doctor, “No, no,”. objected Golden, in a pan- ic, ‘I'm sure my constitution wouldn't endure an operation. I am so sickly I know it would kill me. And, .doctor, isn't there some way a fellow could get an extra bit of lunch between regular meoals?”’ Orders were given for Golden's eject- ment from the hospital. The doctors say he is as strong as an ox. Walter Yowell, 44 years old, entered the hospital Saturday. He was on the verge of breakdown, he said, and was afflicted with melancholia. Despair over his failure to find work, he feared, had unhinged his mind. He glared about ferociously and uttered several growls and snarls, | “We'll give him a bath first,” said the attendants, seizing him. “Oh, no!’ shouted the ‘patient,”’ struggling. ‘Don’t do anything like that. You wouldn't have me catch cold and die of melancholia! Help!’ But he was thrust Into the tub and sent upstairs, His -melancholia gave way to rapture when the dinner gong sounded. Yeuth Found Faking: Robert Coleman, 19 years old, went to the hospital Friday with ‘“appendi- citis,’”’ After an examination, he was told by the doctors that'he was faking. “Then I must have ‘heart disease,”’ cried he, shifting his hands, which had been clasped over his abdomen, to his heart. “Nothing the matter with your heart,” announced the doctor, after using the stethoscope. ' “Then it’s insomnia,” declared the youth. “I haven't slept for a month.” He was assigned to the observation ward, and, much to his disgust, set to work es an attendant on other pa- tients, | James Shortel!l, 54 years old, who de- scribed himeelf as a salesman, vowed he was suffering with delirium tremens. “Oh, see the snakes,” he gibbered tn the reception room, “see ‘em crawling and hissing!’’ Give us a description of them,” said a doctor, Bhortell's imagination. failed him, and in his difficulty at conjuring up on the instant the grewsome delucions of an alcoho] maniac, admitted that he had told an untruth. “But I feel awfully bad,”’ he persisted, and the phyeicilans dispatched him to a werd.

|PHILADELPHIA HEIRESS WH WILL WED ENGLISHMAN, AND HER MOTHER

MISS DREXEL TO WED ENGLISHMAN. WITH TWO TITLES Philadelphia Heiress An- nounces Engagement to Heir of Two Earldoms.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 7.—Announce- ment that Miss Margaretta Armstrong Drexel, only daughter of Anthony J. Drexel of Philadelphia, is engaged to Guy Montague George Finch-Hatton, Viscount Maidstone and heir to the earl- doms of Winchelsea and Nottingham, was contained in a cable message re- ceived here by relatives of Miss Drexel. The news came from London, where the Drexels maintain a magnificent resi- dence and where for several seasons Miss Drexel has been prominent in the inner circles of English society. Since her presentation to court by the Duchess of Connaught in 1907 Miss Drex- el has been one of the most popular and sought after beauties. Recently it was reported that her hand had been sought by Prince Frances Joseph, second son of the Duke and Duchess of Braganza, whose eldest son, Prince Miguel, last September married Miss Anita Stew- art, but the report was promptly denied. Miss Drexel was one of the witnesses at the marriage of Miss Stewart, who is her first cousin. A year and a half ago gossip had it that Prince Christopher, sixth son of King George of Greece, was a suitor, and before that it had been freely whis- pered in court circles that Prince Fran- cis of Teck had been anxious to wed the beautiful Philadelphian. The family into which Miss Drexel is to marry dates back to the reign of King Henry I. Viscount Maidstone, Miss Drexel’s flance, was born May 2h, 1885, and was educated at Eton and Ox- ford. He is a Lieutenant in the Royal East Kent Yeomanry. His father, t:» thirteenth Earl of Winchelser, succeeded his brother, the twelfth earl in 1898. He has an elder sister, but his only brother is dead. The residence of the family is Harlech, Marionetshire. Miss Drexel’s brother, Anthony J. Drexel, recently became engaged to Miss Marjorie Gould, daughter of George J. Gould.

SUNDAY POPULAR CONCERT BY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA A GREAT ODEON SUCCESS eal Again, and without a soloist, proving anew that the emphasized feature is not needed to complete its appeal, the Symphony Orchestra’s*poepular concert at the Odeon yesterday afternoon drew an overflow audience. The beauty of the orchestrai numbers on the program justified this big at- tendance. These included the stirring Berlioz “Hungarian March,” the over- ture to Auber’s “‘Masaniello,” the bal- let music of Delibes’ “‘Coppelia,’’ selec- tions from ‘Cavalleria Rusticana,” Westerhout’s ‘“‘Ronde d’Amour,”’ “The Dance of the Hours,’’ from Ponchielli’s “La Gioconda,” and Waldteufel’s “The Skaters”’ waltz. So. appreciatively enthusiastic was the audience’s reception of these offer- ings that encores and a repetition of the ‘‘Ronde d’Amour’’ were compelled. One of the lovely encore numbers was Grieg’s ‘“‘Spring,’’ a composition of the utmost poetic charm, which greatly de- lighted its hearers. The concert in its entirety was one of the most brilliant successes of the present distinguished season, The Symphony Orchestra now leaves for its second concert tour of the State, returning in time for next Sunday aft- ernoon’s popular concert, for which a most inviting program has been ar- ranged, #) —

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—that bad beef, some of it ready to fall to pleces, was served at the White House during Presi- fient Roosevelt’s occupancy, was the tes- timony of District Food Inspector Dodge today before the House committee en- gaged in investigating the hign cost of living In the District of Columbia. Dodge said that it was the custom of a steward at the White House to buy a quarter of beef and hang it. up until it was ripe, or ready to fall to pieces, as the inspector déscribed it, when it would be cut up and served on the White House table. Members of the commit- tee expressed disgust over Dcdge’s reve- lations. Further, Inspector Dodge testified, many of the wealthy persons of the capital were accustomed to eat from choice meat that had turned black and was well on the foad to decomposition because it was more tender. He related an incident of one of his visits to a fashionable Washington mar- ket where he found a quarter of beef, black and apparently unfit for human food.

Drake Paid Bonded Indebtedness. The road had $6,000,000 capital stock authorized, of which $6,000,000 had been issued and $1,000,000 was still in the treasury. The purchasers are alleged to have borrowed $2,500,000 by pledging .the whole $6,000,000 of stock. The addi- tional $600,000 necessary to pay Drake his $3,000,000, as the brief says, was ob- ‘tained by taking that amount from a fund of $800,000 which had been earned by the road in rebates, but which, it is. alleged, had been concealed from Drake, its owner. Drake was also required to pay off a bonded indebtedness of $1,800,000. The $2,500,000 borrowed from Redmond, Kerr & Co. is said to have been repaid im-

7 cial cablegram from London; “Florence Schenck Wilson, the beau- tiful Virginia girl who eloped four years ago with Charles H. Wilson, manager of Alfred G. Vanderbilt’s stable, at- tempted to kill herself Friday night in a”° West End hotel by taking choral. She Was saved from déath only by an over- dose, but is not yet out of danger. She is under the care of doctors and trained nurses, who will not permit anyone to see her, and who will not say until to- morrow whether she will live. “She is only 22 years old, but she has played the game of life as few women have. Even if she lives, the game for her is about over. Her husband has deserted her and she is penniless. She came to London to find him and was unsuccessful. She appealed to Alfred Vanderbilt and was repulsed. “Turned out of the Metropole Hotel because she could not pay her bill, she sought the hotel where she now is and took the drug after writing a long let- ter to Wilson, in which she said: “I’ve no one but you to turn to, All the world is against me. Failing to hear from you by, tomorrow I will let the lights go out and in the dark will be heart for you. (Signed) Loss,” “Loss” is a pet name, derived from “Mioss’ or ‘“Fiossie’ and given to Florence Schenck by Wilson. “The death of Mrs. Ruiz, who com- mitted suicide here last May, preyed on the young woman’s mind and she was very despondent. Added to that was the allegation of Wilson's attorneys that she was not his wife, az he had not been divorced from a former wife when he married her. She was the only person in the room with Mrs, Ruiz when the latter ended her life, and since that time she has quarreled frequently with Alfred Vanderbilt. The final quarrel came a few days ago, when she asked him to aid her in finding Wilson and he is said to have refused. “Finally she retained Solicitor John B. Enever of Broad House to bring suit for a restoration of her conjugal rights and suppcrt. Her actions became so erratic, however, that Enever dropped the sult. He was unable to find Wilson and does not believe te is in London, “When she went to Enever she placed her certificate of her marriage to WiIl- son in his hands. It was recorded at Somerset House two years ago and bore the name of he a xsd Surratt as witness, that Wilson al- sot invalid. It was when she learned.of this assertion that the woman who had believed she was his wife became despondent. With no money, no name and no friends, life held little for her, and, after the letter, she took chloral as the qu est way of ending her troubles,” Mrs. Ruiz, it will be remembered, hada relatives in St. Louis, She was a friend dt Alfred G.

would that others should do unto you” received its answer from the world in the piteous and cruel crucifying of the preacher. You can’t get away from this thought when you see “The Battle” and a present-day audience’s reception of its message. For Cleveland Moffett, in his concep- tion of the character of John J. Hag- gleton, and Wilton Lackaye, in his por- trayal of that character, show no hesi- tancy in making the issue plain and paramount. “Sell all that thou hast and give it to the poor, and follow Me,” said Jesus to the rich young man who, in the story told in Holy Writ, asked the Master what he must do to be saved. “Keep all that thou hast, and hold it from the poor, and follow me,” says John J. Haggleton to his son in the siums—and the dire tragedy of ,Mr. Moffett’s play is that the son surren- ders his soul _to this teaching of his father and becomes even as is that fa- ther. This may not be denied as the ultimate logic of “The Battle’ in its final analysis, for, althoigh John J. Haggle- ton proposes in the play’s closing mo- ments to establish a fund of $10,000,000 for the helping of the poor—provided those who would help the poor convince him that this may be done without pauperizing the poor—the proposition is made to take on the aspect of a stu- pendously grim and flinty-hearted jest. The very ‘moment after the offer is made, the three persons named as the fund's custodians are in a deplorable wrangle as to their course of helpful procedure. And, as the last curtain falls, John J. Haggleton, taking the self explaining his uwn plans for the betterment of existing conditions, an evil smile of triumph on his face, the joy of old sentiment-hating Gradgrind in his heart. It’s a depressing farewell picture—ayd how ignoble are made to appear Gentle, the : laborer-philanthropist: Philip Hag- gleton, the slum-pitying son of the mul- timillionaire, and Margaret Lawrence, daughter of a weaker man crushed in business by old Haggleton, these three who seemed so sincerely noble and high- minded at the play’s outset! You don’t hear John J. Haggleton’s plan for uplifting the poor, but his only course in the slums to which he de- scended for the purpose of reclaiming his son had been to appeal to the hu- man selfishness of the poor and to set them one against the other in their suddenly aroused greed for gold. You feel, rightly, therefore, that the plan will be honeycombed with cynicism and made inoperative by its originator’s con- tempt for all men who lack the money- making power and the willingness to rise in the world by knocking others down and standing on their bodies. “It's Nature’s inflexible and immuta- ble law of the survival of the fittest,’’ says old John J., who calmly confesses at a certain moment that one of his own commercial cri:mnes, as belonging to the class of -“‘the fittest,” was to burn the oil refinery of a business rival who was getting the better of him in legiti- mate’ competition. ‘Nature herself has }no mercy on ‘the weak. Her controlling plan is to develop the strong, to make the human race stronger by killing off the weak-—it is for this purpose that poverty, among other things, was insti- tuted.” Then, blasphemously and untruthfully, he cries, ‘‘Why should I help the poor, who won’t help themselves? God Him- self doesn't help them!” And it is to this creed that Gentile and Philip and Margaret plainly surrender in the drama’s last moments, they who were so splendidly unselfish and helpful at its opening, with old John J. Hag- gleton chuckling in the spotlight as, un- deniably, they confess to him that he right and they are wrong. is sag or aprcenperayed the pity of it! The especial pity, in that the play powerfully grips one, and, for the time being, almost shakes one’s faith in the j Possibility of. the ultimate triumph of ‘better things. It ts powerfully played, too—by Wilton Laeckaye as old Haggle- ton, by Harry Hilliard as Philip, his son; by. Thomas McQrane, as Gentle; by Clara Blandick, as Margaret Law- renee; by Julie Herne, as the misguided t Jenny; a derelict of the slums; by Ger- alg Griffin, as Moran, her anarchist fa-

ther, the entire company, indeed, being whole matter out of their hands, is him=-1

ness. No point possible to the play’s specious pleading is lost. And it scores tremendously with the audience, this teaching of the rightful ij dominance of selfishness. Old John J. Hagegleton was the hero of the evening. And even his one “redeeming” trait, his love for his son, was based upon his in- herent selfishness—he lovéd that son*be- cause he .was the son of “the great John Haggleton” and was needed to carry out, in the sevond generation, the Haggleton program of continued Hag- gleton aggrandizement. RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. _--_—— “MISS INNOCENCE” AT OLYMPIC. (4 My . INNOCENCE” is mis- named. It might more prop- erly be called ‘‘Misapprehen- sion” or ‘‘Misconstruction.” It is an un- happy combination of music and smut— of beauty and suggestiveness. There are enough suggestive and coarse jokes to make the play a success on the broader burlesque “‘men only” circuit. There was enough reckless abandon by the women-of the chorus and ballet to draw forth vociferous cheers from the mas- culine contingent of last night's large Olympic audience. In the opening act almost every scene and situation is accentuated by some re- mark that is offensive to decency—and the pity of it all is that it is entirely unnecessary to the play’s success. The music would stand alone without brazenness—the ehorus is exceptionally attractive and needs no suggestion of immodesty or indecency to insure an ap- preciative audience—the situations and book of the play could be made more acceptable and pleasing by the elimina- tion of the too-frequent occurrence of smuttiness that cannot help but bring a blush to the modest women of the audience. There are lines you would not care to have yuur wife, sister or sweetheart hear. There are jokes—al- leged jokes—you could not repeat in par- lor or drawing room. It is such materiai that supplies the ammunition for the fight against the stage. And to me it seems a pity to cripple art with such offensiveness. Surely such song nufhbers as ‘‘By the Light of the’ Silver spoon *“Yankiana Rag,” “I Wonder Whhat’s the Matter With My Eyes,” “My Cousin Caruso’”’ and “‘\.e Two in an Aeroplane” need no apology or offensive assistance to make them enjoyable to any audience. The beautiful L’Abbaye Montmarte of the first act, with its brilliant lights and gorgeously costumed women; the aero- plane scene of the second act, showing Paris at night, and the dainty Land of Peach Blossoms closing the final scene, should not be marred by coarse lan- guage or brazenness. And the chorus and principals need nothing but the pure and legitimate comedy to make their talents known. It is a slap in the face of art and decency to havesuch beauti- ul scenes and talented people make such a strong appeal to the lower and baser passions. Anna Held is merely Anna Held. Sh

Vertrees, a distinguished lawyer of Tennessee, is preparing for his task of defending ‘Richard Achilles Ballinger. He has had a long conference with President Taft. and Ballinger at the White House. With the assistance of Carl Rasch, an equally distinguished lawyer of Mon- tana, it is expected he “will make things hot” for the “prosecution,” that is, for Pinchot and Glavis. us the “prosecution,” by a sort of common consent, is composed of the two men who are standing and have long been standing against the aggressions of the spoilers of the public do- main. The administration seems not to like this any better than the trend of affairs since the investigation began. An early report was boastful in tone. It said Mr. Ballinger was not represented ‘by counsel. This was not only in defiance of the noble defensive work of Attorney-General Wick- ersham but an implication that Ballinger needed no defender at all. Since then, however, matters have undergone a radical change. An obdurate public will not yield to the official view that Ballinger is not only innocent but impeccable. It is this public that must be convinced. It is to this end that learned ._ counsel, capable of “making things hot,’ have been “introduced to break down and belittle the testimony of Glavis.and Pinchot. The investi- gation has already become a trial—not an effort to search out the truth. What the administra- tioh wants—and needs—is vindication—not in a congressional investigation committee, but in the larger forum of public opinion. = = a” a A movement has been started to establish a gymnasium in the House office building for the use of Representatives who wish to learn how to throw somersaults, walk slack ropes and do all sorts of turning and twisting before meeting their constituents again. = = " —_-S = HERE’S A STATE OF THINGS.

The shortage in the Police Relief Association | is not a police seandal only; it is if anything a crime to be investigated by the grand jury. Should thé evidence justify prosecutions they should be instituted, not by special counsel em- ployed by police officers but by the Circuit At- torney for the State. To the present time the looting of the asso- ciation’s treasury has been treated as a matter for police investigation and action alone, Its ef- fect_on public offices has been the principal point of interest. The whole department has been stirred and demoralized by rumors of contemplated dis- missals and changes in theforce. For weeks the attention of the heads of the departments has been centered on the developments of the private inquiry into the association’s business. Discip- line, order, efficiency must rapidly disappear un- der the influence of these charges and rumors growing out of a special. and secret investigation. The whole scandal should be turned over to the Criminal Court. The new grand jury about to begin its labors should undertake a thor- ough inquiry into the charges. It should ex- amine the books and all the available evidence of crime and bring indictments against every man who is implicated by the facts. The way to punish the guilty and vindicate the innocent is through criminal prosecution by process of law. Only officers who are guilty of crime or of improper cenduct should be punished by the Police Board. The facts, the determination of guilt, the evidence of impropriety of conduct can only be determined by legal processes. The Police Board is handicapped in its investigation which is necessarily superficial and ex parte. Its powers as a court of inquiry are limited. The continued handling of the charges as a police matter with the manufacture of suspicions, ru- mors and charges of political and personal pur- poses will soon become as great a scandal as the original offense. Let us have the atmosphere cleared by legal action. protect the force by suspending those whose guilt is indicated by the evidence, until they have a fair trial. Meanwhile the energies of the force should be drawn away from turmoil .of in- ternal dissensions and recriminations and di- rected again to the proper business of the de- partment—the protection of the city from crim- inals outside oi the department, = = rr Wireless warnings have proven so efficient in saving ships it might be worth while to try what wireless politics could do to save the coun- try. = = MT, ite 47 DISTENDING CITIES. From the Pacific Coast comé reports of the far-reaching enterprise of .rival but friendly cities wildly contending which shall make the grander snowing in the coming census. From note is full of frenzied emulation. San Francisco, the redeemed and wide-open metropolis, finds her- self surrounded by a cluster of aspiting sisters, each of which is wishing and working to show a bigger -ecord of growth than her neighbor. Out of this emulation there has come -extraor- dinary schemes of municipal expansion. Los Angeles transforms herself into a seaport and adds some 30,000 to her population by incorpor- ating San Pedro 20 miles away. Oakland reaches out for B2rkeley to the North and for Alameda on the South to make a city about 15 miles long with. a population more than three times that of a decade ago. Portland aims to incorporate a whole county within her limits. Tacoma re- cently added 102 square miles to its former 137, making in point of area the largest city in the Union with the exception of New York. Seattle and San Francisco are yet to be heard from; but the one is planning to annex Oakland and everything else around the bay, while the othe doubtless has designs on Tacoma’s wide leagues, and dreams of herself as the great municipal anaconda of the itlimitable Northwest. Such methods of growth are not so much extensions as distensions. The area covered can- not be supplied with the ordinary accessories of urban life such as lights, pavements, sewers anc police and fire protection. They will have hig) taxation without corresponding benefits. Thu: settlemen’ and cultivation will be delayed. I would be better for the Pacific Coast tc trus to a normal and natural growth. There is such a thing .s carrying distension to the point of bursting. The election in the “i District rattled th: standpatters to such Bn extent they are nov conspiring to redistrict the State and fix som kind of gerrymander that will give them 2a chance to win.

LOUIS’ GREATEST NATURAL pecan Fe POINT NO. 1 manufacturing cities of the country as a “manufac- turing district,” including an area beyond its mu- nicipal limits. As a manufacturing center, St. Louis is thus given 206 square miles as its industrial territory on both sides the Mississippi River. In the same way “In- dustrial Boston” is now made officially to cover 502 Square miles. : Within the limits of Industria] St. Louis, thus con- sidered, is coal enough to make it the greatest manu- facturing city of the country. It is the only city in the country which has this great natural advantage. New York has the ocean. Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit have the lakes. No othér industrial city has its own coal supply, ingxhaustible, within its own in- dustrial limits. As a result of this, it ought to be impossible to prevent coal from being much cheaper in all parts of Industrial St. Louis than it is in any other great industrial city. It has not. been prevented wholly. Though a rate may be fixed on St. Louis coal move- ment to protect other cities, coal is still cheaper in St. Louis than in cities which depend for it on a long haul, even by water. The coal of St. Louls, as Industrial St. Louis, laid down on official maps Is- sued last year by the United States Census Bureau, is inside the limits of Industrial St. Louis. It is St. Louis coal. The only question this leaves inside the limits thus set, is of the rates for its delivery to dif- ferent parts of this industrial district of St. Louis. Outsidé, the question to be decided by facts is whether the rate St. Louis pays on its own coal movement inside this district is fixed on general prin- ciples or any other principles through which in pay- ing for its own coal movement for its own purposes, St. Louis is helping to pay for the delivery of its own coal to other cities so as to protect them against its own natural advantage. If so, it is then helping to pay for the delivery of its own greatest ratural advantage for production to those who have no such natural advantage. The general standard for measuring in deciding this is given by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. It shows that on all the railroads of the country for everything from silks and laces to coal, the average charge for moving a ton of freight one mile has been about three-quarters of 1 cent during the past 10 years: It varies at the rate of a mill and a fraction of a mill a mile from year to year. Three- quarters of a cent for moving one ton, one mile, {is the standard for measuring the movement of alli kinds of freight im all parts of the country on all roads as officially reported. It is also officially reported that at this average charge of three-quarters @f a cent for moving one ton one mile, the average length of the hau] ig 131.’ miles for comparison with a St. Louis ‘100-mile” or other short-haul limit. If this average ton ig com- posed of everything from silks and laces to coal, with the coal giving the bulk of the tonnage, it ought to follow that the average cost of moving a ton of coal from any point inside the St. Louls industrial district to any other point of the district will always be far below the general average. From the mines at Mount Olive, the movement into St. Louis across the bridge costs 52 cents a ton, or $2 cents a ton to East St. Louis, 41 miles. From Troy into St. Louis it costs 62 cents a ton, or 82 cents a ton to East St. Louis, 19 miles. From Trenton into St. Louis, it costs 52 cents a ton, or 32 cents a ton to East St. Louls, 2 miles.. From. Collinsville it costs 32 cents a ton to East St. Louis, 11 miles, and & cents a ton into St. Louls. Adding two miles to the Collinsville distance, the movement on coal into St. Louis proper costs 4 cents a ton a mile. This is on coal alone, against the average for the United States of three-quar. ters of a cent a ton for the whole country on ev- erything from coal to silks and laces. The case here is extreme, but cut the extreme in half, cut it down again and then apply the three-quarters of a cent standard of measuring. Many other things will have to be considered afterward, but this will be Point Neo. 1 im finding how far St. Louis is helping to pay for the delivery of St. Louis coal to other places. Or, in other words, to protect them against its own greatest natural ad- vantage. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Democracy Needs New Leader. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Would like to say a few words to “One of the 6,000,000""—-Mr. Stephen Taylor De Kin. Don’t you ever learn anything by experience? Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan is a great man in many ways, except one, and that is, he is leading democracy to death —and his “through thick and thin’ followers, ap- parently, are too blind to see the disastrous road they are traveling. O, yes, of course, Mr. Bryan is a great leader (7) for the party of plunder. Ever since 1896 the trusts have flourished, and plutocracy thrived gloriously, as never before. It is because of the lamentable weakness of Bryanism that the burdens of the people are increased and special privileges are sapping the blood of the na- tion and defiantly feed the workers with broken pledges. H. C. HUBERT. Of Interest to Farmers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Farmers, take notice. It is an iJ] wind that blows no one good. A large gun manufacturing firm in the United States recently was awarded the contract by the Argentine Government for two large battleship, because the hides produced on the farms of this country were put on the free list in the last tarift ‘‘flasco.” When will the farmers learn that a tarift for manufacturers is taking money out of the pock- ets of the producers of raw material? If the farm boys did not get big wages in the factories the farmers’ crops would be more abundant, but prices of farm products would be very low. S00n the for- signers and machinery will drive your boys home to he farms and down will go -products. RICHARD D. Guard the People’s Interests. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I sincerely hope the members of our City Assembly will be alert and watchful of the questions now at Is- ‘ue between the railroads and the people of St. Louis. ‘Che people’s interest must be held paramount, to all thers. Beware of the graft in its various guises. The Assembly should remember the streets were originally given the people by lawful owners, for their exclusive benefit, not to be given away again to some private ‘orporation or combination. The Assembly 1s especially xpected, as representatives of the people, to watcn their interests. Everybody knows who hired the late voodlers. Look out for the men higher up. JAMES P. WILTON. Who Cuts the “The Melons? ro the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, When J. J. Hill, who is fond of weeping over the woes of the farmer, had some $60,000,000 in clear profits to Wistribute among the preferred stockholders of his road he denominated it “cutting a melon.’ ‘amous Rocky Ford melons, but the farmer who pro duced them did not seem to be in on the cutting to any appreciable extent. According to the News of Ordway, Colo., in the Rocky Ford district, the last 96 cars of melons shipped to Pittsburg, Pa., brought the growers a total of $1.31 a car. Of two “cars shipped to Denver, which ig not far away, one netted The melons superior goods. But the carriers and commission men absorbed the profit. They are the people who were in at the “melon cutting.” It is simple enough for the farmet to see that at present he is at the mercy of the market and his investment in @ farm counts for nothing.

A farmer reader says that he hasn’t used a milk stool in 15 years. * His conversion dates from the time when a brindle heifer swatted him in the teeth with a paint- brush tail and filled his eyes full of dock seed. immediately after which he picked up the milk stool and helped her to four som- ersaults. Ever since then he squats holding the pail between his knees, As a result, he has developed a pair of Indian club bi- ceps which are the pride of the household. He has cultivated a bow leg which would make a surcingle look like a tight wire.

That Prince is a good fellow and I'll bet as the King of Great Britain he is just as full of good fellowship as he was that day at the armory when he met “Yours Truly.” For a minute the Prince looked me over as if to size me up and I did the same thing to him, Then he laughingly extended his'hand again and I took it with a hearty shake. We had sized each other up and found everything fine and dandy The Prince told me later that he felt as if he had known me for a long lime because my name was so familiar to him eas a fighter.

For over two years Ed Stafford has stood willing to box any 110-pound man in St. Louis. Stafford is from Boston. At any rate, he has all the earmarks of a boxer of experience. He has had the gloves on @& number of times at the Business Men’s Gymnasium. He dis- played such a whirlwind style that word around. Stafford was matched for an amateur bout at the Business Men’s Gymnasium. He trained hard, but his opponent re- fused to meet him. .Next he was matched for a bout at the South Broad- way A. C. Again his opponent backed out on the night of the tournament. Bob Douglass got Benny McGovern of the Missouri A. C. to sign an entry blank to meet Stafford at the Knights of Columbus show last Saturday night. McGovern is young, clever, fast, has St. Louis, and is generally rated one of Stafford; but Boxing Instructor Eddle Randall of the Missouri A. C. got to McGovern. Randall Interferes. Randall, like numerous others, seems to think that Stafford is a world-beater. At any rate, ringside by Referee Sharpe that McGov- ern would not box because Randall would not allow him to do so. Randall was. present and smiled. Mc- Govern was not present. Stafford, Johnny-on-the-spot, was introduced from the ring and was given a hearty reception. Incidentally this young Hibernian, Tim McCarthy, is becoming a real fighter. Actually, he has won five fights in a row although the decision was given against him because he happened to punch an opponent’s ribs while in a clinch at the South Broadway A. C. Johnny Sauter of the South Broadway A. C. is a bit unlucky. He outweighed McCarthy, was stronger than his oppon- ent and had Tim all but out in the first round Saturday night. Tim came back in the second round and caught Sauter with two tremendous wallops to the jaw. Sauter went down and out for just a trifle over two minutes. Rude Kreli- der, who defeated Sauter the previous Saturday, is considering going to Frisco and turning ‘“‘pro.” Kreider, McCar- thy até] Sauter are middleweights. z >. wr

Competition for Left Garden Job on Browns Sure to Be Keen This Spring. BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY. star outfielders can make great i baseball teams, the two St. Louis clubs should now come to the front. There is no team in the National League with a more impressive set of outfielders than Roger Bresnahan has for the Cardinals unless perhaps the Cincinnati team. There is no club in the American League that has men for the outer garden better than those of the Browns, unless it is the reliable squad of the Detroit Tigers. The deals of the winter have strength- ened the two local clubs materially, but the bulk of the strength has been added to the outfield. Bresnahan’s deal with Cincinnati last week that gave him “Rebel’’ Oakes and the deal in early winter that gave him O'Hara has fixed the outfield of the National Leaguers so it would seem to stand for the next

10 years without a change. With Ellis,

HOWELL REPORTS AND I$ READY 10 PITCH Harry Howell, pitcher for the Browns, reported at American League headquarters Monday after spending more than three months in the woods of Southern Missouri roughing it. Harry announced that his arm, which was ‘sore all last summer, seems to have entirely healed and he is anxious to begin throwing the ball again to see if he has recovered all his former strength. He will go South with the Browns on the first day of March.

Oakes, O’Hara and Evans, all young and athletic men, on the team there is no cause for fear. They are all top notch men. The Browns are overloaded with out- field material and can surely retain four or five men as regulars that will make the team equal to the best in that department gf the game. O’Con- nor's outfielders of today appear to. be so strong that George Stone, for sev- eral years recognized as one of, the stars of the game, is in danger of being crowded out of a regular position on the club. Some of Stone’s Rivals. The winter deal with New ‘Yr’ gave Demmitt to the Browns, a lively young fellow with a throwing arm unequaled. Griggs came to the front last season as a sparkling man for the outer gar- den. Hoffman can do everything re- quired by an outfielder. Schweitzer was the best-looking young fellow who broke into the league in 1908, but was lfkept idle with a lame knee last season. Shotten, the recruit who was tried out last fall, has every man in the league beaten for speed, according to all re- ports, and Fisher, 4 recruit who joins the team this spring, stole 88 bases in the Western League last year and bat- ted and fielded with the leaders. Detroit has won three successive ~ nants in’ the American League | every fan in the country knows It Pon a speedy and hard-hitting squad of out- fielders who did the trick. If anything helped materially in accomplishing the feat it was the enthusiasm of Hughey Jennings, the jeader.. Detroit had a bad infield each year and. was none too strong on pitchers, while the catching staff was abominable. But Cobb, Crawford, McIntyre and

O’Connor’s Fast Young Outfielders Put STONE’S BERTH IN JEOPARDY

Roger Bresnahan’s. Colts Will Also Have Strong Card in New Outfield. Davey Jones hit the ball and ran te bases like wild men for three years and dragged home the flag each time. Pennant teams have generally excelled in pitching. Detroit is an exception and is the only team that ever won a flag in the American League with but a medi- ocre pitching staff. However, the Ti- gers have shown what can be done with a hitting and basg/running team and the result sho be encouraging to the two St. Ss managers—Bresna- hand and O’Connor. Neither team of this city is fortified in pitching strength. But both are strong in the outfield and both, this year, seem to have men who are active on the bases. In Ellis, Oakes and O'Hara, the Car- dinals have a trio of young men who should learn to do things in the out- field and on the bases that tne fans of St. Louis have never seen. Bresnahan is a resourceful leader who can invent plays for such speedy men and in- dications are that this set of young- sters are daring and speedy enough to attempt anything. _The best part of it all is that they are all young and wil- ling workers. It’s hard to teach a trick to an old dog. Tricky ball players, continually doing the unexpected, are the stars of the soudent day. That is what has made Johnny Evers the most popular player in the National League and raised Ty Cobb to the highest hon- ors of the American League. Larry Lajoie was the star of the American League for many years. He was a wonderful hitter, but one of those slug- gers only. But he wasn't tricky, like Cobb, and that’s the reason Cobb tas passed him. The Detroit man has the cpposing team guessing all the time, for it is never known whether he will bunt or hit out the ball or give the hit- and-run sign and poke the ball through the hole made when the second baseman or shortstop runs to cover second. They always know what Lajole is going to those who are do, t's ball players of. the typé of Cobb and Evers who will star in the next five years. The days of tke slugging Lajoies and Delehantys have passed. Bresnahan seems to have picked up several young men of the Evers type. O'Connor has the same ideas of winning ball games at this day and date, though he was @ star under the old system. The fans of St. Louis will see baseball of the new style this year.

CARDINAL BOSS, AGAIN IN TOWN, PRAISES OAKES M. Stanley Robison Says Re- cent Trade Will Complete Defenses, Save for Pitchers, Stanley Robison, president of the Car- dinals, arrived in the city this morning on business connected with the park im- provements. He will remain until Thursday or Friday. Mr. Robison was more than pleased with the deal by which he acquired Corridon, Oakes and Huggins. “I think Corridon is better than Bee- be. Storke we could not use, as he is unable to report until the close of. June. In any case, he is hardly as val- uable as Oakes and Huggins together. “Everybody says I have a wonder in Oakes. Certainly his record shows it. Huggins will be a find for second base, if he comes back to his best form. This appears to give us a strong team all around, except our pitching staff, which is, however, fair. We probably will do something to bolster up this department, With Sallee, Lush and Cor- ridon doing the veteran work, and a little improvement on the part:of the young men we tried out last: year, it will meed only one more good man to give us a. splendid pitching staff. Beebe Will Help Reds. “Cincinnati is getting a mighty good man in Beebe. He will do well with Cincinnati, I feel sure. As for our getting the better of Griffith in the deal; that’s a matter.of question. Grif- fith had the men to give. His team is absolutely. rounded out, without . the men in question. i “Oakes and Huggins could well be spared, while Storke will: prove a val- uable utility player for the Reds. It’s an even break all around. “T am much. more pleased with the outlook now and we will be able to make a fine fight against the teams that were above us last season.”’ Mr: Robison did not get to the city in time to (meet Bresnahan. The latter has gone to his home in Toledo. Mr. Robison will go from St. Louis to the League meetings, which take place in Chicago next week. , ras A BILLIARDS Arnbdld and Parker will meet in the three-cushion billiard tournament match at Pesch’s Monday night.

When the committee on football rules recommended, at its meeting Sat-, urday, that the diving tackle be ished as one of the principal causes of injuries on the gridiron, it recognized @ fact that Edward B. Cochems, then coach of the Sst. Louis University eleven, pointed out during his first sea- son here, the new rules having been then just Inaugurated. fact—he followed it out. It was that the jlow tackle was both dangerous and if- effective. Cochems told his men to hit the opposing player when and where they could, bu: never leaving their feet to get a man: Preferably they took a runner at the knees, but the men were instructed not to leave their feet to drop @ man. Sowing the Wind. MMEDIATELY a storm of protest | arose from the old “low and hard” boys, who had worn their clavicles to a wisp diving at dummies. Jeers argge. on all sides. It was argued that a coach who did not know any more about tackling could not coach at all, and Cochems was laughed at, hard—un- til his team took the fleld and swept everything before it for two years. Then we of the “leave your feet” brigade began to take notice. It was Cochems’ men put off the regular list through injury, but that although they the waist, as well as the knees, they stopped their men. Other players on other teams tackled true to the pro- verbial form, but when they missed the first try they misesd for good and all, and were left prone upon the ground while the runner laughed over the goal line for a touchdown. < ‘ Humanitarian View Secondary. OCHEMS’ dropping of the diving tackle was not due, we fear, to the humanitarian side of the question. He saw better than anybody of his day that, under the new rules and with 10 yards to gain, it was not so much a sine qua non to drop a run- ner in his tracks, as to stop him with absolute certainty, even. at the cost of a yard or two. With five yards to go the low, diving tackle ‘was- necessary. Not an inch could a team afford to lose. But the new rules opened the way for better things and that Cochems went to it unerringly is characteristic of the football sagacity of this coach. Cochems was really vindicated in his views on tackling last year when the Yale coaches issued an Order against diving tackles. At last they had found out that the occasional yard or two saved ‘was not commensurate with the oceasional chance for.a touchdown af- forded the enemy. Cochems has made many mistakes since he came to St. Louis, but almost ‘invariably he has been justified in his football views. Bender Explains te Jones. OHNNY BENDER, the St. Louis J U.’s coach, takes exception to Tad Jones’ recent football! article in the Baseball Magazine wherein Jones criti- cises all Western coaches for their ten- dency to build up an attack at the ex- pense.of the defense of the team. There is an axiom in football which says that the “best defense of a team is a strong attack,” Jones says this should be re- versed. Says Bender: “Of course defense is necessary, but in most Western teams the finished work that existed in the Bast, in this department, ds not possible. The reason is two-fold. In most Western colleges football players are developed from no start at all. Few preparatory school men of real football merit attend West- ern institutions, the Eastern glamor lur- ing most of the meritorious ones. This forces coaches to teach their men even the rudiments, and thoroughness is not

possible, in the given time. “Again, at Western universities there is but one coach—the paid one. It is a
