ie i ee ee ee ca Male ia Department Manager of Fruit and Produce Exchange Is the Arbiter. SWIFT QUIT EXCHANGE 7 a: ER Precipitately Withdrew From Poultry Organization When Indicted. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispa tch. “JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 18.—The Kansas pidiine plant of Ruddy Bros., City, is closed by reason of the com- pany’s having been absorbed by the National Pacieing Co. of New Jersey, according to testimony given today in Attorney-General Major’s investigation of the allegéd packing company combine before Judge Daniel Dillon of St. ee, special commissioner. It also was testified that Swift & Co. | had precipitately separated itself from the Kansas City Fruit and Produce Ex- change of Kansas City after it was in- dicted on account of its connection with the Kansas City Exchange. It aleo was admitted that prices on poultry and eggs were fixed for Kansas City by the, Fruit and Produce Ex- change, but it was denied they were fixed in advance. The witness said prices of meat to the local Kansas City trade were fixed by ‘that man Phalp,”” meaning W. 3. Phalp, who is in charge of the selling department. The big packing companies, it was said, did over 70 per cent of the business at Kansas City and the rest of the wien ness was largely local. Swift’s Manager Testifies. I. H. Rich, manager of Swift & Co. at Kansas City, Kan., was the first wit- ness this morning. Swift & Co., he saia, bought 278,875 cattle, 569,9%6 hogs and . 276,390 sheep in 1909. Of the cattle all but 2264 were slaughtered. The average paid was $4.49 a hundred weight “for cattle, $7.05 for hogs and $6.03 for sheep. Concerning a volunteered statement yesterday that the big packers did 9% pér cent of the business at Kansas City, he said that on further consideration he would say it was 70 per cent. The ele- ment he had not taken into account yesterday was the competition of a number of small local concerns. One of these was the American Dressed Beef and Provision Co. “Who is president of that company?” asked Attorney-General Major. ‘Tom Ruddy,” Rich replied. j : formerly of Ruddy Bros? Q. Is that the Tom Ruddy who was A. Yes. Q. Don’t you know that the Ruddy 4 deca. Co. was taken up by the National - Packing Co, in 193? A. Yes. This ie another company. Q. What has become of the plant of the old company? A. It is closed down. Plant Closed Since October. Q. Has it been closed ever since it _ was taken over by the National com- pany? A. It has been run intermittent- ly. Q. How long has it been closed down permanently? A. Since about Oct. 1, I should say. Mr. Rich said the new company -had the same officers as the old. He sup- pobed the American Dressed Beef and Provision Co. did_4& per cent of the business at Kansas City. There were eight or ten other small packing concerns in Kansas City which did perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the business, principally local. W. 8S. Phailp, in charge of the selling department of the company, fixed the selling prices that were quoted to the traveling salesmen, and did it without co-pyiting with anybody. His predeces- 80 WS D. BE.

The cattle buyer determined the buy-* _ . ing prices without consulting with any- body. They were merely guided by the _ #8Uggestion from.the Chicago buyer as to how many were needed for Eastern ®Bhipment.

One Man Fixed Price. “That. man Phalp,’’ he said. The prices, he added were not made by the man in charge of the cooler. The same was true of the coolers at St. Louis and St. Joe. Rich was being questioned about the proportion of the business done by Swift & Co. to that done by the other compa- nies. Harry Veeder of Chicago, coun- sel for Swift & Co., remarked: “We are equipped to do all of it if the others would let us.”’ “IT think so, too, if the others would let you,”’ said the Attorney-General. Mr. Veeder hastened to explain that he Twas alluding to the restraints of com- petition. James C. McColl of Kansas City, head of the selling department of Cudahy & Co., was the next witness. TAFT ABANDONS HIS EFFORTS TO: GET POSTAL BANK Only Form in Which Bill Can Be Passed Regarded as Unconstitutional. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The postal bank project seems doomed to failure. The crisis in the fight was reached last night when at a conference held at the White House President Taft washed his hands of the entire matter and said that the legislative branch of the Govern-

ment must determine its own: policies. In addition to the President there were present Senators Aldrich, Crane, Carter, Penrose and Root and Repre- sentative Weeks, chairman of the Post- office Committee. These public serv- ae A FRIENDLY GROCER Dropped a bee ag Hint About off “For about eight years,” writes a Mich. woman, I suffered from nerv- ousness—part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. “Sometimes I wéuld get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At other times I would have severe bilious attacks. and my heart would flutter painfully when I would walk fast, or sweep. “T have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our grocer was asking Husband how I was and urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions, and we were both delighted with it. “So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get better in a month's time and look like another person, the color came back to my cheeks, I began to sleep well. my appetite was good and I com. menced to take on flesh and become interested in everything about the house. “Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my olq trouble.

ants came to report that the bill could rot be passed with the Root amend- ment. The President regards the meas- ure as unconstitutional without the amendment, which provides that _all moneys received through the postal bank be invested in Government bonds. Such a clause would bring the measure under that section of the Constitution which permits the Government to bor- row money for its maintenance. The senators declared their inability to force “the adoption of the Root amendment. Any suggestion intended to remove the money from the localities in which it was collected would mean’ the defeat of the bill. The progressive Republicans, .some additional Western senators and the Democrats were de- termined *on this point, and it was im- possible to prevent them from having their way. The President received the news of the disaster in good spirit. He advised his visitors to do the next best thing and pass the bill, taking a chance on its constitutionality. In any event, it would serve as an entering wedge.

Young Bryan Awaits Stork. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 18.—The stork is expected during April or May in the household of W. J. Bryan Jr., who married Miss Helen Berger of Mil- waukee a year ago. The couple are making their home at Tucson, Ariz, Mrs. Bryan Sr., and Mrs. Leavitt prob- ably will go there soon after they reach here. Dandruff Means Baldness Wise people say there is nothing sure in this world but death and taxés. But that dandruff means baldness later on is just as sure as either death or taxes, and every physician knows it. Dandruff is caused by a germ—a vicious, persistent, tenacious germ— that up to the discovery of one of the world’s greatest scientists, was sup- posed to be unkillable. That discov- ery is called Parisian Sage, and Wolff-Wilson, the druggists, who are the agents in St. Louis, guarantee it to kill every dandruff germ and re- move all traces of dandruff in two weeks or money back. But Parisian Sage is more than a dandruff killer; it is guaranteed to stop falling hair, itching of the scalp. and all diseases of the hair and scalp. It contains just enough of sage properly combined with other ingredi- ents to make any woman's or man's hair grow luxuriantly. It makes ev- erybody’s harsh, lusterless hair change to soft, lustrous, and beautiful hair. Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. sells it at 50 cents a bottle, or you can get it direct from the American makers.

MUMMIFIED BODIES ARE TAKEN FROM THE CHERRY MINE Victims of Disaster Found to Be Preserved by Gas in the Shaft. CHERRY, Ill., Feb. 18.—Eleven bodies of miners were recovered from the St. Paul coal mine today. To the amaze- ment of veteran mine Inspectors, the bodies entombed since last Nov. 138, when brought to the surface, were found to be almost perfectly mummi- fied. The mummified condition was brought about by the bodies having, during the three months, been in a part of the mine which was dry and warm and the bodies going through a slow pro- cess of drying up. “This is one of the most remarkable ineidents of a disaster which has been full of wonders,” declared an old mine inspector. ‘“‘The mummies are in such good preservation that they might have been taken out of the ancient tombs of Egypt.” Fighting through fire and the deadly black damp, whiclk. ever since the dis- aster has stood between them and the 165 or more bodies still entombed in the mine, the rescuers found the 11 bodies in what is known as the second level. They were about 175 reet from the main air shaft. The men instead of retreating to remoter parts of the mine, evidently had made a desperate effort to escape when the fire broke out and they were among the first to die. They were found with their arms stretched forward and face down, hav- ing been suffocated as they ran, prob- ably by a gust of heat and gas. Shut in an air-tight chamber when the mine was finally sealed up, they remained in a kind of an oven in which the temper- ature was a little above blood heat. Their clothing was so badly scorched and their features so badly distigured by falling rock that identification was affficult.” BURTON OPPOSES WATERWAY BILL Lorimer of Illinois Appeals for Delegation From New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 18.—Sena- tor Lorimer of Illinois has wired to the deep water leaders here that Sena- tor Burton of Ohio has told him that he, Burton, would fight the rivers and har- bors bil] to a finish when it comes be- fore the Senate committee next Monday. Burton says the measure is ridiculous and he will not consider it in its pres- ent form. Lorimer has appealed for oa strong delegation from New Orleans to be pres- ent Monday.

Postmaster WASHINGTON, mnt hg ie Feb. SHORTAGE Mau Maroney Summons District Executive Committeemen for Year 1907. The 15 men who have been symmoned to appear before Andrew Cc. Maroney, special counsel for the criminal prose- cution of those who are responsible for the shortage in the Police Relief Asso- district members of the executive com- mittee in 1907. They will be examined by Maroney at°’the Magnolia Station during the day. The 15 witnesses to appear before Ma- roney Friday afternoon still are mem- bers of the Police Department with the exception of John T. Nicolay, former president of the Relief Association, who represented the Wyoming District in 1907. Nicolay recently resigned from the department to go into the saloon busi- ness, . List of Those Summoned. Following are the names of the men and the districts they represented in 1907: Sergt. Tom Conlon, Central. W. J. Cliffe, Carondelet. John T. Nicolay, Wyoming. Sergt. Joseph Alexander, Soulard. Ted Dolan, Carr. John Darby, North Market. Charles Sanders, Angelica. Sergt. John J. Noonan, Magnoita. John Dunnigan, Manchester. George Butler, Dayton. Robert J. Dunbar, Deer. John Stead, Newstead. John A. Maloney, Mounted District: William V. Jeans, Central. Edward Schenk, headquarters. These are the men who collected the dues from the patrolmen in their va- rious districts in 1907 and on whose in- dividual accounts of returns which they claim they made-to the fund, charges against former Secretary Healy by the Police Board are based. The difference between the accounts of the fepresentatives of the various districts for 1907-08-09, and the amount which the books of the secretary show to have been credited to the fund, Is claimed to make up the $13,213.01, which is announced as the figure at which the prosecutors have placed the alleged shortage. Prosecutions are to be begun on this basis. Inside Facts Are Sought. “From the fifteen witnesses I will ex- amine this afternoon,” said Maroney Friday, “‘I expect to find out what they know of the inside management of the Police Relief Association fund in 1907. I will question them as to the method they pursued in*collecting dues. from members of the department and the system followed in turning these col- lections over to the secretary. I expect to get the whole method of procedure from these men.”’ Maroney stated that if Circuit Attor- ney Jones.were ready to take the inves- tigation up with the grand jury, that he could be prepared to make his report to Jones by M:vday. To do this Maroney said it woula be necessary to renew the questioning of witnesses at the Mag- nolia Station early Saturday and run it through the day and night, take it up again Sunday and continue it through Sunday night. “But,’’ added Maroney, “I don't think

The sufferer is left with a debilitated system. is short of breath upon the slightest exer- tion and is affected by every change of weather. The system is in such ‘a weak- ened condition that it is powerless to resist the attack of such diseases as pneumonia and bronchitis. This is a condition which emphaticelly calls for a tonic for the blood. pr. Wil. liams’ Pink Pills are the best medicine for this purpose, for they act directly upon the blood, which they cleanse of all impurities. They tone up the nerves and give health and strength to the debilitated system. That the best tonic for a run-down con- dition is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills has heen proved in thousands of cases similar to that of Miss R. C. Brickey, of Pratt, Kansas. She says: ‘Some years ago I was troubled almost daily with chiile wiich the doctor seid were due to malarial fever. .4-would get cold and numb all over my body ana would shake for hours without getting relier 1 would Become so nervous that I coulg not stand.

The Christmas Festi- a) is an act of hospitality on the part : intiho-do towards the poor.

Reso- lutions were made and passed express- ing *the thanks of the committee for the aid given by Chief Creecy and Capt. McCulloch. Mrs. Sippy’s Work. Mrs. Sippy, chairman of the Basket Packing Committee, told of the work done by the women of her committee. “An average of fifty women,’’ said Mrs. Sippy, ‘‘worked for four days in pack- ing the baskets, and when they were all finished each one of them asked to be placed on the committee next year. It was one of the greatest pleasures of my life—if you could have seen the look of happiness that came into the faces of those to whom we gave the baskets you would understand why jt was so.” Brigadier Cousins, who superintended the dinner given to the Homeless Men at the Midday Lunchroom, said that it was the most successful dinner of the kind he had ever seen. “Every year I have been at dinners on Christmas Day to homeless men. The one this year surpassed any I had ever seen before—not excepting the dinner given in '96 during the panic at Denver. “We had the first floor of the Mer- chants’ Exchange so that the waiting men would not suffer in the cold. | But few of them stayed there. They lined up for blocks out in the freezing cold of Christmas day. That gives you an idea of how hungry they were. And each one of them, when he had finished and passed out, said ‘Merry Christmas’ to those of us in charge." Maj. Merriwether, who was associat- ed with Brigadier Cousins in the giving of this part of the Christmas festival, told of, the interest in the dinner for weeks ahead among the men around Sal- vation Army headquarters. Mr. McClain, chairman of the organ- ization committee of the 400 walters from charitable institutions who served at the Coliseum dinner, told of his work and the great pleasure it had been to him. “T heard a story once of a little boy who let anether boy ciimb on his back so that the second boy could see a bal! game over the fence. That is what we were doing. We were letting the poor climb up on us that day so that they could get a view of happy things.”’ Mr. Seaman spoke of the work of the committee that had charge of all the basket applications and said that the system suggested by Mr. McClain was the most perfect system that he had encountered in his work among the poor as superintendent of the Jewish Chari- ties. Entertainers Enntertained. Mrs, Kavanaugh, who created a La- dies’ Entertainment Committee this year, sald: “We did no entertaining. We were entertained. Next year I hope you will give us some real work to do for I feel we should make some return for the great pleasure you gave us in having us with you in the Coliseum on Ch as day.” Charlies E. Golterman, who had charge of the Christmas tree, told of how tt was brought in 40 miles from the coun- try by émployes of the Bell Telephone Co. “Te show you the interest taken in the festival,” sald Mr. Golterman, “‘out- side of the city as well as here, when the tree was cut down in the little town & score of persons there helped carry the tree to the wagon in which it was hauled to the city.” Mr. Roth, chairman of the Supply Committee, said that one of the most the persons in every condition of want and destitution who came to get the Christmas ‘baskete at the: Kinloch Ting told of hie work in as- aye Christmas eve. posed he was one of the few who had a “thot” time on Christmas day. Mr. Mar- tin, who was asked to explain why some singers he had promised for the Festival did not appear, made his peace with the executive committee by singing the Stein song. His tenor voice that has made him a celebrity in musica] circles filled the banquet hall and he was ap- plauded enthusiastically for his ‘“‘re- sponse” when called upon. 150,000 Toys Given Mr. Reardon, who buys the Christmas toys every year, said that Mr. Fred- erick’s estimate of 100,000 toys was too low. He estimated that 150,000 toys had been given out during the ten years the Festival has been given. Mr. Bube, who had charge of the doors of the Coliseum and the guards on duty, told of the enthusiasm of the First Regiment boys. ‘“‘We invited them to luncheon across the street from the Coliseum,” said Mr. Bube, but they were so interested in the sight inside the Coliseum that they would not ‘leave until it was all over.” . W. K. Kavanaugh and Dr. A. H. Sippy, who did not serve on the Execu- tive Committee but who were guests at the dinner, spoxe enthusiastically of. the Festival and said that it was their am- bition to serve next year. They were thereupon appointed. In appointing Mr. Kavanaugh, Chairman Frederick said: “We have the army represented so we must have the navy represented, too—I appoint Mr. Kavanaugh a member of the committee.”’

Watching A Stomach — Digest Food Was the Means Whereby Science Made Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia. A Trial Package of Stuart’s Dyspep- sia Tablets Sent Free, The Abbe Spallanzani was the first scientist to study systematically the chemical powers of the gastric juice. but it was by the careful and con- vincing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact knowledge of its composition and action was laid. Beaumont was an army surgeon, lo- cated at an obscure military post in Michigan, while it was yet a terri- tory, and was called upon to treat a gun shot wound of the stomach in a Canadian voyageur—Alexis St. Mar- tin. When the wound healed a per- manent opening was left by means of which food could be placed in the stomach and gastric juice taken from it. Beaumont made scientific experi- ‘ments with his crude means and wrote a book, which today is recog. nized among the classics of physi- ology. Beaumont blazed the way for other scientists so that today medicine knows what the stomach does with food and what food does to the stom- ach. Science also knows what the gastric juices are and how to make them best for the system. Pandy Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to the poor army surgeon and Alexis St. Martin, give man a means of di- gesting food, replenishing the ex- hausted juices, soothing the nerves and ipeneernes 4 dyspeptic conditions of the stomac Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.are nat- ural fruit‘and vegetable, essences re- duced in concentrated form ae _~ tremendous power compressed in tablet.

CALLED FAVORITISM Promoters Declare Laclede Will Get Rights and Not Pipe Natural Product. COMPETITION IS LOST Swarts Asserts His Clients Will Not Bid on Assem- bly’s Bill. The Municipal Assembly ‘is preparing a natural gas franchise to be sold to the highest bidder. The Public Im- provements Committees of the House and Council have agreed upon the ordi- nance, which has been sent to the City Counselor for approval. S I. Swarts, attorney for the St. Louis Gas, Heat, Light and Power Co., which has applied for a 35-year fran- chise to pipe natural gas to St. Louis, told a ‘Post-Dispatch reporter Friday that his company positively will not bid for the franchise in its present shape. George V. Reynolds, attorney for the Rodgers syndicate, which has also ap- plied for a franchise, said he had not seen the city’s proposition and could not at this time tell whether he will bid for the franchise. Both the Rodgers and the Braden syn- dicates, the latter being interested in the St. Louis Gas, Heat, Light and Power Co., are seeking a franchise to pipe aatura] gas from Oklahoma to St. Louis. Will Kill Competition. With the St. Louis, Gas, Heat, Light and Power Co. out of the bidding there can be no competition for the franchise, according to those who are famillar with the situation. The Laclede Gas Light Co., which has talked of piping natural gas from the Caddo flelds of Louisiana, does not require a franchise to sell nat- ural gas in St. Louis. Attorney Swarts declares his company cannot afford to bid on such a fran- chise as the city has proposed and that the plan of the Municipal Assembly will! result in the failure of the city to get natural gas. The bill which probably will be passed by the Assembly within a month and offered for sale to the natural gas promoters, will provide a maximum price of 40 cents a thousand cubic feet, specify the quality of gas to be supplied to consumers, the pres- sure to be maintained in the pipe lines and other technical details. The joint committees of the House and Council have decided that the mains of the Laclede Gag Light Co. will be un- suitable for distributing natural gas in St. Louis and the bilf will carry a pro- vision that 100 miles of new mains must be laid each year until the entire city is piped. It is stated by promoters of natural gas companies that the Municipal As- sembly will play into the hands of the lighting monopoly by offering the fran- chise for sale, as the holders of exist- ing franchises could well afford to buy it and hold it to keep natural gas from being piped to this city to compete with artificial gas, which is now being sold at 90 cents and $1 a thousand cubic feet. 25 at all Druggists, er sent prepaid by C C.H.

“I am a different person,” writes Mrs. H. A. Harper, of 317 Prairie Street, Peoria, Ill., since I began to take Cardui, the woman’s tonic. “Before taking Cardui, I suffered miserably for a year, with severe pains, ‘which were so intense that at last I could hardly walk, and laid in bed most of the time. “I had headache, my complexion was dirty and my face blotted with large brown spots. “Since taking Cardui, I have found relief, don’t have the headache like I used to, my color is clear, and I am a different person. “My husband says I look like the little girl he married, with my rosy cheeks.”—Peoria, Ill.

Apart. 3 ABOVE DOWNTOWN Rise Friday Is to Be Followed by More Snow. The official Government thermometer on Clemens avenue in the West End registered 14 degrees below zero at ® a. m. Friday, while the official ther- mometer on top of the Chemical Build- ing showed a temperature of three de- grees above at the same hour. The tem- perature in the outlying districts of the city was the coldest of the year. Ther- mometers at police stations and drug stores in various parts of the city res- istered from 2 to 10 degrees below at 7 a. m., and a Maplewood thermometer recorded 18 degrees below. The Weather Bureau predicts slowly rising temperature throughout the city Friday, with a minimum of 15 degrees above zero Friday night. The day opened clear, with the sun shining brightly, but the prediction is for in- creasing cloudiness with more snow to- night or Saturday. The February snowfall to date has been the greatest in the history of the Weather Bureau, which began keeping records in 1884. In the 18 days of the month there has fallen 21.4 inches of snow. When it ceased snowing at 3 p. m. Thursday tnere was 13.5 inches of snow on the ground. Greatest Snowfall in History. The greatest snowfall for any pre- vious month was March, 189, when 21 inches fell. Virtually all of this great snow fell March 30-31, that being the greatest 24-hour snow ever recorded by the bureau. The total amount of snow falling since the blizzard Wednesday was 14 inches. The weather was extremely cold in all the suburban towns early Friday. In Alton the thermometer recorded a tem- perature of 8 degrees below. The re- markable variations in temperature are not unusual, according to the local Weather Bureau, as conditions are dif- ferent in the various parts of the city and country. : The unofficial thermometers that a. m. were telling a more cheerful story two hours later, when most of them reg- istered from 6 to 7 degrees above. 1100 Snow Shovelers at Work. Street Commissioner Travilla has 1190 men and 400 teams clearing away the snow in the downtown district. He has not been able to get enough teams and men to do the work as rapidly as he would like to have it done. All of the garbage wagons are being used, and no collections will be made at the resi- dences this week. The snow fall of Thursday, whici ceased at 3 p. m., made it necessary for the street department to cover some of the downtown districts twice the same day. The total depth of the snow was 15 inches, the heaviest in the history of the local Weather Bureau. The blizzard continued 48 hours, and the temperature dropped 65 degrees, Tuesday, to zero. The fall in temperature in the last 24 hours was 18 degrees. It will cost the city $15,000 to remove the snow from the streets in the central business district. The United Railways spent thousands of dollars keeping its tracks open for traffic during the snow- storm. The city and the rallway com- pany employed 2500 men at this work. Stalled Wagons Biock Traffic. Wagons on the tracks are still inter- fering greatly with street car traffic. Teams cannot haul more than half loads under prevailing conditions, but some teamsters try to haul normal loads with the result that many wagons are stalled. Nearly all street car lines passing through the central distrfct have been delayed at various times by wagons. Trains are arriving in Union Station from one to seven hours late. As the snowstorm was genera] throughout this section of the country, trainmen have had much difficulty in making schedule ‘time. It is expected trains will be late for several days. There was much suffering among the poor and homeless Thursday night. The police stations housed 600 homeless men, and more than 300 persons applied to the Provident Association ‘for aid. All applicants at police stations* were al- lowed to sleep in chairs and on the floors, and the stoves were heaped full of coal to keep them warm. It was impossible to keep many of the poorly equipped homes warm with the scanty supply of fuel available, and there was much suffering in the quar- ters occupled by the poor. The Provi- dent and other relief associations dis- tributed coal and clothing among the poor to tide them over the cold spell, but they were not able to supply all the demands or to relieve all cases of suffering. ‘ Twe Belew at Celumbia, COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb.

Effort Made to Prevent Fur- ther Disclosures of Swope Poison Facts. GRAND JURY AT WORK Woman Charges Hyde Gave | Drugs to Force Dismissal of Damage -Action. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 18.—Devel- opments in the legal maze which en- velops the charges against Dr. B.’' Clark Hyde and his suit for slander against John G. Paxton today wil) include an effort to restrain Hyde’s attorneys from taking any mere depositions. The charge that Hyde sought to cause the deaths of members of the Swope family by giving them typhoid fever germs was made by Paxton yesterday. In answer to a petition filed in the Circult Court of Independence by Dr. Hyde asking that Attorney John G. Pax- ten be compelled to produce certain let- ters that passed between him and Dr. Ludwig Hektoen, Mr. Paxton accused Dr. Hyde of bad faith in attempting to obtain evidence “tending to prove that the plaintiff had murdered by the ad- ministration of poison Themas Swope and Chrisman Swope, and also attempt- ed to poison Margaret Swope and by the same kind of treatment had communi- cated to the members of the Swope family typhoid fever.’ Charge Is Entirely New. Veiled charges against: Dr. Hyde in connection with the death of Chrisman Swope and the alleged poisoning of Miss Margaret Swope had been frequently made, but the charge that the physician communicated typhoid bacill to members of the family is entirely new. The typhoid epidemic in the Swope home marks one of the most mysterious. features of the entire case. None has ever successfully explained the origin of the disease. Yet eight persons in the home became afflicted with typhoid fever between Dec. 1 and Dec. 22, last. Dr. Hyde was in attendance at the home until Dec. 18, when the nurses struck on account of his presence, and he departed. Soon after the answer making the new revelations in the case was filed today, Judge Walter Powell decided that the reports of the scientists sought by Dr. Hyde’s attorneys should not be made public until] Mrs. Logan Swope was willing for them te be released. They are now in her hands. Warfare for the depositions of Mrs. | Logan H. Swope, Miss Lacy Lee Swope and Miss Pearl Kellar will be renewed by Dr. Hyde’s attorneys. If the wamen refuse te give their depositions upon being subpenaed an officer will serve attachments on them. Five Before Grand Jury. Five witnesses were before the grand jury today. They were Harry 8. Cook a vault tender, who helped to move the bedy of Col Swope: R. B. Mitchell, an undertaker’s assistant, who. helped pre- pare the body for burial; Dr. Frank Hall, Dr. Edward L. Stewart and Coro ner B. F. Zwart. Dr. Hyde and Leuls Wolferman, a wealthy grocer, were made defendants yesterday in a suit fer damages aggre- gating $70,000. The suit was filed in the Clroult Court by Attorney C. W. Prince, acting in be- half of Miss Emma WBhiera a former domestic in the Wolferman home. Miss Ehlers alleges that in November, 1907, while Mr. and Mrs. Wolferman were in Hamburg, Germany, they hired her te come te America with them, and that while they had first-class cabins on the ship she was placed in the steerage, and thus caught cold, which resulted in rheumatism. When she reached the home of Mr. Wolferman,. at 2818 Chariotte street, she alleges, she was put to sleep in a cold reom, which made her so sick she had te go to a hospital. Because of this she sued Wolferman last fall for $10,000 damages. While she was in the hospital, she alleges, Dr. Hyde, who was attending her, induced her to dismiss her suit and to sign the following release: “It is agreed between plaintitr and de- fendant that the above suit be dismissed at plaintiff's cost, with prejudice to plaintiff’s further action.” Miss Eliers alleges that when she signed this release she was under the + gg ag opiates given her by Dr. yde, and upon this a) filed today is based. a ee She alleges that Dr. Hyde gave her the opiates at the request of Wolfer- meh, so that she could more readily be Coece ad Gismizs her suit.

Mrs. Jennie Tucker, who was divorced Feb. 16, 1909, and Adolph Gropp, who has been divorced from his first wife 15 months, are in East St. Louis, follow- ing their marriage Thursday night. On New Year’s day two years ago, Gropp says, his wife deserted him. His home was at 1504 Russell avenue, East St. Louis, and Mrs. Tucker, whose hus- band had deserted her and her 7-year- old daughter, Annie, in Shelbyville, Tenn., five years before, resided three doors away. Shortly after Mrs. Gropp left, Mrs. Tucker became ‘housekeeper in her place. She filled the position so well that Gropp offered her the position for life and she accepted. But neither was divorced.

Now that Cochran and Phelps are eut, the Clardy-Seibert forces are expected to have full sway, although the fact that Seibert has been transferred to the passenger department indicates, politicians say, that President Gould 1; desires a complete severance of all political affiliations. “Col.”” Seibert will receive a salary of $3000 a year as agent of the passenger department,’ and will report direct 10 Passenger Traffic Manager Stone. “I asked for a‘ promotion sometime ago,” said the Colonel Friday, ‘and my appolritment as passenger agent in- dicates that my request has been grant- ed.

People used to bring their, hay, their ‘Wood and eggs into Milwaukee and then couldn’t get anything for their products.

Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which also pro- duces baldness. Never use &@ eomb or brush belonging to someone else. No matter how cleanly the owner may be, these articles may be in- fected with microbes, which will in- fect your scalp. It is far easier to catch hair microbes than it is to get rid of them, and a single stroke of an infected comb or brush may lead to baldness. Never try on any- body else’s hat. Many a hatband is a resting place for microbes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or baldness, we have @ remedy which we believe will completely relieye these troubles. We are so sure of this that we offer it to you with the understanding that it will cost you nothing for the trial if it does not produce the results we claim.

FRIDAY || Buyers of Low-Priced Cars Are Appearing in Plenti- ful Numbers. The managers of the Auto Show at the First Regiment Armory went into conference Friday to decide whether the exhibition should be held open for three additional days. It was scheduled to close Saturday midnight. The attend- ance at the show on every night this week, in spite of. the snow, has so far surpassed the expectations of the mana- gers that they have deterniined, if the necessary arrangements can be made, té run it into next week. Thursday night was military night at the show. The officers from Jefferson Barracks and their families and the First Regiment men were there in full attendance. Society also attended in representative numbers and bpriillant gowns and—which was more important to the dealers--with check books in evi- dence. would-be purchasers were interested to the point where a sale of a car to them is only a matter of a week or so than on any other night of the show. A surprisingly large number of low- priced cars have been sold. Little run- apouts selling for $500, $600 and $700 have found a smal! host of purchasers. This is taken as evidence of the fact that persons with very modest incomes have learned that the development of the automobile has made it possible to maintain a small car on a comparative- ly small amount a year. One of the biggest items of. expense in the up-keep of a motor car is that of the tires: On the small cars a set of tires will ,last—because of the lighter weight of the bar—twice as long as the tires on a big roadster or touring car. And the expense of the wear and tear of these little cars is estimated by the salesmen at a figure that is low enough to invite comparison between the ex- pense of a small runabout and a horse and carriage. Another feature of the sales at this year’s shows have been the purchases St. Louis territory. The sales indicate not only that farming is a most lucra- tive occupation as practiced near St. Louis, but that it develops luxurious tastes as well. BANKER FORGIVES REALTY MAN WHO THREATENED HIM Simon Seelig to, Ask Lenien- cy Despite Challenge to Street Duel.

The case against Martin L. Dawson, charged with intimidating Simon Seelig, president of the Savings Trust Co., July 21 last, was continued in Judge Mc- Quillin’s court Friday until March 2. Dawson was not in court and has been locked up in the Deer S&reet Police Sta- tion since his second encounter with Seelig Thursday afternoon at Seelig’s office in the bank. Seelig was in court Friday and was apparently nervous from the scene of Thursday afternoon. He told Judge Mc- Quillin that hé could not account for Dawson's action and that he had for- given him and expected to ask the court to be lenient. . Assisant Circuit Attorney Walter Neun told the Court that Dawson would be prosecuted on the first charge, not- withstanding Seelig’s plea for leniency. The first case had been set for Thurs- day in Judge McQuillin’s court, but was continued until Friday. Dawsen has last July. Dawson appeared in Seelig’s office at the bank, 4933 Delmar boulevard, Thurs- day and demanded the payment of men- ey he said Seelig owed him. He bran- dished a revolver during the conversa- tion, according to Seelig’s statement.

By Leased Wire From the New York Burenu of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Judge Hand in the United States District Court has temporarily enjoined Louis Paulhan, the French aviator, from making any more flights in this country with his aeroplane on the ground that it in- fringes on the patents of the Wright brothers. In granting the writ Judge Hand filed an opinion which he admit- ted gave a monopoly of the air to the Wrights and their million dollar syn- dicate. Until there is a decision on the mo- tion for a permanent injunction the syn- dicate will control, not only the produc- tion but the use of all aeroplanes equipped with dévices depending *on the ‘| warping’ of ‘planes. Not even a for- eigner can come here and fly unless he can gét a license from the syndicate. Those who had intended to take part in the international aeroplane cham- pionship races in this country next summer will give up their idea, it is ex- pected. They may build aeroplanes without tails, but they cannot fly with-| out tails. Several aeronauts ‘‘went up in. the air,” figuratively when they learned of the opinion. Calls It Blew to Aviation.

GET A JOB AND HANG TO IT Miss Gill Says Hope of Matri- mony Spoils Chances of In- . dustrial Success. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 18.— Miss Gill, president of the Intercollegiate Alumni Association, in addressing the undergraduates and alumni of Rad-

cliffe College advised her hearers tof “get busy” and “clinch a job.” “The trouble with our college women of today,” she said, “is that they spend too much time doping out what their future lord and master is to be like, instead of hustling every morning to: employment agencies and looking. up some nice, congenial occupation. “College Womenshave not been suc- cessful in industrial life because they ! y" and fall down; their ultimate object always being matrimony. | “Get an occupation and go into it with both feet.

a mnanend CITY CHAPS BEST FARMERS, RURAL EXPERT TELLS THEM Strong Forte Is Is ‘His Ability to Figure the Profits and Losses. The average city man will make a bet- ter farmer than.a country man, Prof. M. F. Miller of the University of Mis- souri told his audience atthe Y. M. C. A. auditorium Thursday night. The rea- gon the city man has the advantage is that he is more familiar with business methods, and would keep books to tell just what earned money and what was responsible for loss, he said. The lecture was the first of a series of farm lectures to be given under the au- spices of the Frisco Railroad Night School of Farming, the first of its kind.

it is said, in the United States. Notwith-

- standing the inclement weather, the seating capacity of the auditorium was taxed at the opening session. “It takes as much brains to run a farm as to run a bank or a railroad,”’ Prof. Miller told his-audience. ‘'Farm- ing is a business proposition, and -the farmer must get down to business and chop wood to succeed. The farm is not a snap. If you are looking for an easy time, stay away from the farm.” Prof. Miller gave, in detail, the cost of an average 50-acre farm in_ the Ozarks on which he said a thrifty man could expend $2550, and in five years’ time be on the road to independence. This cost, he said, ‘would be divided as follows: Land, $1250; fence repairs, $50; small buildings, $50; two cows, $120; two horses, $300; two brood sows, $30; implements, $200; fruit trees, $10; miscel- laneous repairs, $100; seeds, potatoés, to- matoes, etc., $15; feed for animals, $150; living expenses for family of five for first year, $250; taxes, insurance, etc., $25.

PARIS PAPERS AGAIN CHARGE M. ROSTAND WITH PLAGIARISM “Chanticler,’” Among Other of His Plays, Said to Be Only Adaptation. PARIS, Feb. 18—Samuel Eberly Gross of Chicago, who accused Rostand of plagiarising his “Merchant Prince of Cornvill,” is taken seriously by a num- ber of leading Paris newspapers. The Eclaire points out that Rostand’s play “Tes Romanesques,” was adapted with- out acknowledgement from: an adven- ture cited in “Confidences” of Mile. Mars. Another paper, bluntly accuses Ros- tand of having "robbed Gross of Bao rano” in a “most reprehensible way.’ Humanite, the Socialist daily of Juarez, adds one more to the accusations of plagarism by asserting that ‘“Chante-

cler’’ is a mere imitation of Marie Mos- nier’s play, use sree tome’ produced in Paris in 1867. ELEPHANTS IN A BUTCHER SHOP

Three shipments which came in this week have been detained at the appraiser's warehouse pending an analysis of the eggs.

~ — “This Advertisement Is Published for the Protection of Automobile Buy By the An advertisement recently published under this heading was for the intention of intimidating prospective buyers, who, deciding - on merits only, would overlook all of the ‘‘71’’ varieties pentioned and purchase a FORD. History repeats itself. That same sort of advertising appeared in 1903, warning against the purchase of an Unlicensed Car. After nearly seven years the Licensed Association has unexpectedly received a Lower- Court decision and the advertising of 1903 is repeated. They tell you in bold-face type that ‘‘There is no reason why any- one buying a car should not buy a Licensed Car.’’ There are many reasons why anyone should NOT buy'a car licensed under the Selden watent, because by so doing trust methods ar2 encouraged, the evolu- tion of the industry curtailed and the maintenance of high-priced and “poor-quality ears assisted, because it is obvious that a protected mon- nopoly does not try to please the public by producing better goods by more economical means. Who has constituted this ‘‘Divine Body’’ to tell the public the names of manufacturers who market honest or dishonest cars? Who will say that FORD cars are dishonest after all they have done to pro- emote the advancements of the industry? In this connection we were ; “gpeaking to’one of the prominent Licensed members the other day, and during the conversation he stated that without doubt HENRY FORD had done more, in building and marketing his low-priced machines, te: advance the industry than any dozen other manufacturers in the business, , > Itis a:safe bet'that 4 car will be honest as long as the manufacturer ‘pays his dues to this ‘‘Divine Body.’’ And would this same body deign ‘to pronounce the FORD car dishonest in the face of what it has done for the development 8f the entire car industry? Would the FORD be a dishonest car if FORD would join the ‘‘71’’ varieties? Our opinion and our position, taken from the beginning, is unshaken —that this Selden patent is a freak among alleged inventions and is worth- less as a patent and worthless as a device. The advertising campaign in the newspapers of this ‘‘Divine Com- mittee’’ represents commercial morals and business methods which are very questionable, If the Ford Motor Company cared to resort to such tactics it has patents that cover many of the leading features of auto- mobile construction a thousand times more valuable in the automobile industry than Selden’s, and could also threaten and bring suits against many of this ‘‘Divine Committee’’ as infringers of its patents. Not for a moment, however, has it entered our heads to harass or annoy individual users of licensed product by suing them as infringers of Ford patents. Although the opinion of Judge Hough was filed on September 15, = 1909, no injunction has.ever been entered against us in this case, nor indeed has any decree been entered. It would really seem, then, that this threatening cabal should get through with us first before they make any attack upon our customers. The court will not permit our customers té be sued and persecuted as itidividuals while this suit is pending against us as manufacturers. A Lower-Court decision is far from final. It is only the first round of a patent battle. There remain the Court of Appeals and then the Supreme Court, to both of which we can, and, if necessary, will, carry this case. This is a right granted us by the Constitution of the United States, which right we will exercise, so that it is hardly becoming of our esteemed Licensed competitors to take the decision as final, and by it endeavor to intimidate the present and prospective owners of Ford cars. The opinion of the patent in the lower court was rendered by District Judge Hough, showing on its face that he expected an imme- diate appeal to a higher court from the doubtful questions disclosed by his opinion. Although it is seven years since this fight was started and nearly six months since the decision was rendered, no decree has yet been en- tered, and there is no immediate likelihood. There are millions of dollars invested and more being invested every. day in the building and marketing of Unlicensed automobiles, which will unquestionably bring advanced methods of manufacture into vogue and will mean better and more economical’ cars to buy: and to maintain. It is a well-known fact that prices are already too high, although this ‘‘ Divine Executive Committee’’ says to the Unlicensed makers, ‘‘ Be- = —

fore we will place upon you our.‘Divine’ blessing we desire you to ad- vance your prices several hundred*dollars per car and to limit your pro- duétion,’’ and, while they do‘ not say, it is clearly mpi Sa: we is not have such keen competition.’’ Because the unlicensed makers are not organized they do pot nes sent such an array of names as their self-constituted saviors: of the: ub- lic, but we assure you that there are sufficient ind turers who will continue to fight against turning the automobile: indus try. into a monopoly. It is clearly the duty of every law-abiding American atin: to : respect exclusive rights secured by a patent, when that patent has been honestly obtained, honestly operdted and declared to be an honest patent by the highest courts in the Jand. Such, however, cannot be seid of 1 ie : + Selden patent. We take issue with the.statement that the members of the Lisaea Ken Association individually, and collectively are chiefly responsible for the development of the automabile to its present perfect state. HENRY FORD alone has done more to develop the automobile industry than the combined members of the Licensed Association, which fact cannot be honestly ‘contradicted. We believe the public will agree with us in this. It is not true that those licensed under the Selden patent have been and are now leaders in the production of medium, low and high priced cars. We can, prove by figures. and facts that HENRY FORD. peodness more low priced cars than any other maker in the world. So, it can hardly be stated that these Licensees are the leaders in the production i of low-priced cars. We ask our friends who have heard or read some of the statements made by these ‘‘Divine’’, people to call ee them to furnish their proof. In conclusion we beg to state that if there ate any. prospective au-, mobile buyers who are at all intimidated by the claims eae by our ad- versaries that we will give them, in addition to the protection of the Ford Motor Company, with its some $6, 000,000.00 assets, an individual bond, ‘backed by a company of over $6,000,000.00 more of assets, so that each and every individual owner of a Ford car will be protected until at least $12,000,000,00 of assets have been wiped out by those who desire to con- trol and monopolize this wonderful industry. The bond is yours for the asking, so do not allow yourself to be sold infertor cars at extravagant prices because of any ‘statement made by this “Divine” body. N. B.—This fight is not being waged by the Ford Motor Company without the advice and counsel of the’ ablest patent attorneys | od the East and West. oo: Announcement Is Made So That Buyers of Automobiles May Know the Facts and Be Goveena

A PREMIER LAW LOVER. What's this? Senator Stone has crawled? It is incredible. “The age of chivalry is dead,” declared Burke in an inspired .outburst more than a century The Mirror, by way of reply to the Post-Dis patch’s unanswerable argument for the abolition bridge arbitrary, petulantly remarks: Won suppose the Terminal extensions are blocked. What then? The terminals will expand in Iilinois— there’s no other place. Yet the demand is for termi nals THIS side of the river. ge? tanh ae That's the finish of the press and real estate Black Hand “fight for the town,”—to drive facilities out and with them manufactures and population, “That is what has already built up the Hast Side, made East St. Louis, Granite City, Madison—with- holding facilities on this side for the railroads and their shippers. : According to the Terminal’s officers, agents, al- lies and defenders injury to St. Louis is not caused by the Terminal’s discriminating tolls, but by the efforts to abolish them. It is not injustice, put the protest against injustice that is ruining the city. If the people of St. Louis do not quietly submit to the railroad combine’s monopoly extor- tions the railroads will desert St. Louis. That is the bugaboo dangled before St. Louis people whenever there is an attempt to force the rail- roads to give St. Louis a square deal. 3 On the question of what has built up East St. Louis and other East Side towns at the expense of St. Louis, the conclusion of the Municipal Bridge and Terminals Commission, headed by former Mayor Wells, which has been friendly to the Ter- minal, is convincing. In its preliminary report are the following statements of the consequences of the arbitrary toll levied on St. Louis traffic: “The resylt of the policy has been to stimulate the growth of East St. Louis, af thé expense of this city to such an extent that it_has greatly. crippled this city, and especially along manufacturing lines, until the situation has approached: a. climax. Nor would the present conditions ever satisfy the people of St. Louls who have seen some of the larg- Jefferson and the Mails. | To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Thomas Jefferson believed in the absolutely free transportation and delivery of the mails. When he was elected President and sent his first message to Congress he specifically recommended that all post- age on newspapers be removed ‘to facilitate the f information.”’ chown was a Dethocrat and knew that there could be no Democracy worthy the name unlesg it was based upon the intelligence of the people. To this énd he sought to establish the free distribution and délivery of newspapers. But he was overruled. Then, as now, the- moneyed interests were in contro] and the intelligence of the common people is exactly what thy did not want, for when the masses cease to be rule, Just at present there is a revival of the periodical ery against the postal deficit, caused almost wholly by the excessive rates charged the Government by the railroads, and yet there is no demand that this annual overcharge shall cease, but that the postage of newspapers shall be raised to a prohibitive level so as to exclude and suppress the papers of protest that are opening the eyes of the people. The game is 80 plain that a blind man can see ig and an outrage upon the people so infamous that the most arrant coward ought to resent it. The army and navy and other departments of our capitalist Government do not pay, but on the contrary are run at an enormous expense, aggregating millions and yet there is no de- mand that less guns or warships be manufactured. . Write your Congressman and your Senator at once and serve notice on him in plain terms that if he votes to shut your paper out of the mails and stran- gle the last breath of freedom out of your exploited body, he had better have himself embalmed for ‘his political funeral.

The. gdministration: finds it- self brought suddenly toa standstill. -The. Presi- dent declares a conviction that the failure of Congress to provide funds ‘fer publicity “is an oversight,” and urges an. appropriation of $50,- 000 for that specific purpose. It is the only thing to be done. Without such fund, says the President, “the only course open to those. who|?* are executing the law in the department, will be to treat the returns as other internal revenue records,” It may be the failure of the law to provide for publicity Was due to an oversight; as the Pres- ident suggests. It may also be another example of that trickery with which Republican leaders have go often fooled the people. Setidfor Wa- munds, who himself was once a power in the Republican party, has recently stated tnat the Sherman anti-trust law’ was rendered compara- tively worthless, because the very Congress’ that. enacted it did not appropriate sufficient funds for @ comprehensive enforcement of it.

Of course I am basing this on the assumption that mothers of all. grades of society have hearts, though some may consider it an absurd theory.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Relative to the theory that it is good for the human ce to undergo a struggle for existence in order that the fittest may survive, and the weak perish, it might be interesting to see if this theory can be proved by experiments in the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Suppose, for instance, that one man 8€ lects seed corn from the fittest of a large number of statks that have been left to struggle for existence against weeds and-drouth in ordér that the strong @talka may survive and the weak stalks perish. ‘While another man selects seed carn each year from @nly “average stalks that have been well protected from any struggle for existente and cultivated in richly fertilized sol] so that all the weak stalks wil! live. Let them continue this for 10 years and then compare results. Every farmer’knows that if the corn from stalks whieh have struggled for existence with weeds and drouth is fit for chicken feed it will do well. While the other corn, from the average Pro~ tected stalks is certain to be fine. Similar expert- ments with animals will show similar results. While pleasurable exercise is found beneficial, an unpleas- urable struggle for existence is found to be of abso- Iutely no value whatever in developing a fine breed of any kind of plant, insect or animal, but only a det- riment. The harder the struggle the more imperfect- ly developed’are the survivors because their enersy is consumed in the struggle and not used in producing a finer type. ~Human beings are capable of growing and ex- | panding in infinitely more different ways than plants

NO. 1—OHASING THE LIMITED. MAY 10, 1950.—My new 500-horsepower monocopter flyer| is the fastest and sturdiest craft in all the sky. This afternoon I shook the police patrol mono in the high level as if she were an old’-Farman bi. Incidentally, I made a hit with Her father. . He won’t call me a useless idler again—I saved him a bunch of money. It all started at Broadway and Olive. He was standing on the curb in front\of the Transcontinental Airoad Building, hav- ing a time of it to keep his footing in the human vortex there. In the glare of the electroliers—these confounded hundred-story buildings make Broadway as dark as a tunnel the entire day— the trouble in his face startled me He was so unlike his calm, severe self that he forgot to frown at me and caught my sleevc, confidentially. - ‘‘What shall I do?’’ he shouted in my ear above the tumult 0: Broadway. ‘*What’s the trouble, Mr. Hardaway?” I shouted back. For answer he pointed upward. Against the narrow striy of blue sky above us I saw the 4 o’clock 14-hour New’ York Limited slowly ascending from the spider-like tracery’ of thi Transcontinental’s roof-pier. Her ljfting screws were sending th: glistening steel hull of her up to the 10,000- foot Bee a. eee of way of the limiteds and fast mails. ‘‘She’s gone,’’ quavered the financial magnate beside me ‘‘and I have to be in New York tomorrow morning. I simply have to be. It’s a matter of millions.’’ Without a word I grabbed his arm and plunged into the whirlpool of the street. Across to the opposite corner I piloted him and into the Consolidated Trust Building. Three seconds later the vacyum elevator had shot us up a hundred stories. When my dear old dad bonght control of the C. T. last week I made him give me the roof for a downtown aerogarage. My new flyer with her hundred-foot spread of wings was poised for flight on the inclined launching platform. I jumped into the driver’s seat and’ Mr. Hardaway, half frightened, wholly dazed, sank limply inte the leather cushions beside me. In : flash I had clamped down the, heavy glass torpedo wind shield and had the 20 cylinders roaring like a gatling gun. | threw in the clutch, the quadruple propellers started singing, and with a lurch we slid down the incline. As I felt her pocket the air I turned up her nose and we shot out over Broadway. The Transcontinental’s pier is a story higher than the C. T. roof, but I had no time to circle. I steered to clear and we whis- tled over so close to the steel girders that Mr. Hardaway gasped, and the pier hands shouted hoarsely at me. Then the city dropped away, its noises became a droning hum and the river a yellow ribben far below us. In the levels up to 5000 feet a hundred or more aeroplanes of all sorts were in sight—skyabouts maneuvering over the city, touring multis coming in from all-dc7 ~\ins and taxi-monos mak- ing for the suburbs. It was: impossipie to speed in their levels without 4 collision. But I had no intention of staying low—even though we fine is now $5000 for pleasure craft venturing into the high level rights of way of the limiteds and fast mails—those 100-ton steel dirigibles kept afloat by Zeppelin’s new X-O gas. Still climbing, I dodged through them to the chorus of angry warnings on their siren horns. As we rose like a rocket above them into the open, the little red mono of the police patrol suddenly darted out from her hid- ing place in the lee of a big ‘‘Seeing St. Louis’’ multi several hundred feet below us. But she didn’t have half a chance. We were making 175 miles an hour on an upward climb, and her best speed straightaway is 150. She turned back at 8000 feet. -In the New York Limited's level I put her on an even keel and the speed indicator raced up to the 200 mark. The Limited, reeling off an even hundred, was about five miles out. The real race had begun. It was no joke driving a mono at that speed. The little but. tons on the electric switchboard controlling the stabilizing cop- ters kept me busy. She swayed and lurched like a monorail loco- motive on a curve, and every gust of wind keeled her over so far that we got flashes of the dizzy depths below. The wind on the bes torpedo shield whistled deafeningly. But we overhauled the Limited as if she were coming our way. As we roared alongside and then dove below her and slowed up to her speed, the passengers on all the decks rushed to the rails. **Passenger for you,’’ I shouted through the megaphone. ‘‘J. P. Hardaway. Lower a basket.’’ It was ticklish work—to hold her steady as the basket came within reach and to keep at an equal speed as the Limited at, “the same time. But in a shorter time than it takes to tell it Mr. Hardaway had clambered, shakingly, into the basket and was pulled aboard. The first thing he did as he reached the deck of the Limited was to grab a megaphone me sapans Goring» to me . Os I to turn: ) “I'll be back Wednesday, young Sloan. “And I want you to come to dinner with me that night at my house.” | That was why half an hour later, when the police arrested me on the roof of the C. T., I remarked irrelevantly to the patrol — tam: _ “De yeu know, my dear fellow, that $5000 is not an extrava- gant price to pay for the kind of a dinner that I have just been invited to.’’ . ae gt 34

—_— _——— THE KING’S STORY. J. Pierpont Morgan, at the recent diocesan convention in New /York, amused a group of clergymen with a story of a minister. “He was as ignorant, this good man, of financial matters, ”" gaid Mr. Morgan, “as the average financier is ignorant of matters ecclesiastical. “He once received a check—the first he had ever got in his life—and took it to a bank for payment. “‘But you must indorse the check,’ said the paying teller, returning it through his little window. “ ‘Indorse it” safd the old minister, in a puzzled tone. “Yes, of course. dorsed on the back.’ “‘T gee,’ said the minister.

LOOKING UP. Nature is not perfect, but contains hints and fragments suggesting the ideal. The artist sees the vision and puts on his canvas the “beauty that was never seen on land or sea.” The poet constructs from sordid human life the ideal beauty of the perfect life. The poet and the painter, the musician and the dramatist perceive the things hidden from other eyes, and interpret these so that all may share in the vision. The astronomer and the scientist show us the har- monies of plant and planet. We all may have eyes opened to the beauty and the sweetness of or- dinary human life. Love is blind only to faults. Love sees things hid- den from others. We may see in our poor, weak humanity not the defects, but the vision of the Perfect; not man as he is, but as he was meant to be, and we may hope shal] be. It is bet- ter thus than to see the dirt when we might see the sky. Happy is the man who can see the ideal in every other man, and help to make the ideal the real—-W. S.. Sayres in De- troit Free Press.

(Copyright, 1910. by John L. Sullivan.) Copyright, 1910, by Press Pub. Co. : (New York World.) CHAPTER XXXV. HAD just finished a short nap and | was bathing my face in cold water when Phil Casey, my trainer, tapped | Mme on the shoulder and told me to get’ ready. I was to start for the Olympic _ clubhouse at 7:30, the place where I was So shed the prize-fighting !aurels that I had held for 12 long years. Laughingly I replied that I would be Yeady in a minute. I was absolutely cdnfident of winning, and I was think- ing of the usual celebration that follows an event of that kind. My fighting paraphernalia had been packed in grips, and at 7:30 we took a carriage for the club. I was accompanied by Phil Casey, Jack McAuliffe, Joe Lannon, Frank ‘Moran, Billy Morgan and the Jap. At the clubhouse I found Charley Johnston, Jim Wakely and others awaiting me. It was some time before the fight was to start and I spent the time lounging around the dressing room. There was no need to discuss the fight, for we had long since decided on a plan of action. Outside I could hear the constant buzz of voices. Every once in awhile there would be a sound as if something ex- traordinary had occurred. It was the arrival of some prominent person. Crewd Cheers John L. e was nearly 9 o’clock when I was told to start for the ringside. Ex- Mayor Guillotte was just finishing a speech when I made my way through the crowd and to the ring. A great roar of applause rose from the crowd and I could see necks craning all over the vast amphitheater to get a look at me. I took my seat in the ring and had hardly settled before Corbett and his party came in from the other side. I looked at this young fellow long and carefully. He was much taller than I and his body reminded me of that of a panther. Muscles stuck out all over him. He had his long arms stretched over the ropes and the muscles bulged out from them like whipcords. I did not think of him as a victor, but merely as another ambitious young fellow who was about to be licked. They said | looked at him with contempt. I did net feel that way, though. In fact, I had been so used to this sort of thing that I mnearded the whole affair in a care- less fashion. Corbett. returned my stare in a Ge- Viant manner and showed none of the ‘fear that I had expected. This was for ~ just a minute. The seconds came over and began fastening the gloves over our hands. This being done, they slipped out of the ring. “Shake hands!” yelled John Duffy, the referee. I gave Corbett a hearty shake, but he slipped his hand out of mine as if he @id net bave a feeling of friend- ehtp. The bell clanged and we got ready to start the greatest fight of the cen- tury. First Round Futile. HAD made up my mind to get Cor- bett right at the jump and I went after him. I swung a right-hander straight at him, but he dodged neatly and danced out of the way. Again I tried the right swing, but he was away and running around the ring. “Is this ‘a sprintin match?’ some fellow asked angrily. ‘‘Go on and fight, you coward!” others yelled at Corbett. “The round ended without a blow having been struck. In the second round I made several feints at Corbett, but he was up and away before I could get to him. I saw that I was up against a hard fight. Still, I had confidence in my knockout wallop and expected to get it over soon- er or later. Finally, as he went to dodge past me. I swung a hard one on I was just as strong a hitter as ever, but my footwork was not equal to that of Corbett. Invites Corbett to Fight. T was in the twentieth round when I | began to realize that I was beaten. Corbett danced up to me one time, and, my swing having missed by a foot, he drove a hard right-hander into my stomach. “That was a good one,’’ I said to him, but he only smiled. ‘‘Come on and fight,’’ I again said to him, hoping that he would come in close enough for me to land a right swing to the jaw. I was getting a little weak and my constant rushes had tired me. The Californian kept pounding at my stomach, and that distressed me. At the end of the twen- tieth round I was rather groggy, but I thought the minute’s rest would put me in shape to get over that wallop. In the fighter hope is eternal. No matter how badly he is beaten on points he always looks forward to the time when he can get over a knockout blow. This is especially true of all hard hitters. Asad went to the center of the ring in the twenty-first round I was a beaten man, though I did not realize it. I rushed toward Corbett and landed on his chest... I could tell from the expres- sion on his face that he wag exultant. He ran at me and delivered three quick punches that landed on my stomach. That weakened me so that I fell against the ropes. As I turned to swing at him once more he struck me on the jaw. I dropped to my knees. Right then I. knew that age had got the best of me and that I was a beaten man. I '‘tried to jump to my feet; but for the first time in my life the muscles in my legs refused,to respond. I was not unconscious, as some have declared. I was fully aware of what was going on, but the machinery within me had refused to work. My time had come. I had reached the age limit. That comes to all men who stay in the fighting game too long. There is a change in every man’s life when he passes from the athlete of youth to middle-aged man or maturity. The muscles that I had always relied on went back on me. They would not respond to my call. I vainly tried to rise. I could see Corbett bovering over me ready to deliver an- other blow. I wanted to take it and be defected as a game man. Again I etruggled to rise, but in doing so the muscles in my legs gave way and I fell on my face. ‘ The Ead eof All. A me such as I had never experi- enced in my life. I felt helpless. I felt friendless. I could feel that my friends were staring at me and wonder- ing how I could be defeated. Again I tried to get to my feet, but the effort was in vain. I dropped back to the floor just as I heard the referee say “Ten.”’ I could hear the crowd in a wild roar of excitement and Corbett was standing near me. I could see up to his knees, but no further. Then it came to me that I had lost the cham- pionship. The bell rang and I was helped to my corner. There was a great rush into the ring, and Corbett was being hugged by Wil- liam Brady, his manager, and others. When I finally began to see everything clearly I was seated in my corner and Jack McAuliffe was fanning me with a towel. “Say, am I licked?’’ I asked of Jack McAuliffe. ‘‘Did that young fellow do it?’’ McAuliffe told me that I had put up a geod fight but he scrrowfully admitted that Corbett had won.

SIEGEL QUITS M.A C’S STRONG ~~ AQUATIC SQUAD Resignation of Star Water Polo Player May Break Up St. Louis Combination.

If resignations continue to come in the Missouri Athletic Club’s star water polo team, probably the very best in the United States today, will be wiped out completely. Friday Director of Athletics C. W. Bassett received notifi- cation that Hugh Siegel, one of the best men on the tank squad, had quit, owing to failure to agree with the club man- agement on the rules governing athletic club membership privileges. Siegel scored most of the goals made by Mis- souri A. C.’s team against the Illinois Athletic Club men in a recent game at the lo¢al pool. Siegel’s resignation follows that of Ed Manley and Chariey Grimes, who re- cently quit. Prior to that Tom Martin, once captain of the aquatic team, and Dr. Davis had left the club. » % —_ ”, BILLIARDS.’ Lang vs. Spencer is tonight’s schedule in the left-handed pool tournament at the Royal Billiard Hall.

AMES J. JEFFRIES certainly does J not have to harbor any fears that the wolf is to come scratching at his door, some day, if the figures given out about his recent tour are at all true. According to the published report of the management the recent trip of Jef- fries netted over $200,000 in profits and Jeffries’ share, including a salary, reached over $60,000. In addition to this, Jeffries had made as much more in the past year through his stage efforts. If he fights and wins from Johnson he has $300,000 in sight, approximately, which will keep. the atoreme_ Joned wolf busy with a bone or two, ‘rr a time. Frensieq Pugilism. HE money figures in which the T present day pugilist deals must seem incredible to the old-timers, who occasionally had to have their maps and physical landscapes rear- ranged for a mere mea) ticket or two. In all, this one fight with Johnson holds out a possibility of close to $500,000 to Jeffries, in case of his success. A few years ago the mention would have brought the seven pions of Christendom running slice. And yet they say the boxing game is dying! It seems to be having a most enjoyable demise.

Although it has dropped its plans to hold an indoor athletic meet the -organization will father a series of events that will at- tract general attention among athletes in the Central and Western district. According to the plans of C. W. Bas- sett, athletic director of the club, the following events have been planned and will be held: Ten-mile road race, March 26. Cross-country champtenship, April 16. Marathon race, May 14, Outdoor track meet, May 28. Amateur boxing meet, May 14. Bassett and the M. A.

Next week Mr. Alec Geist, Ed Werner and /a num- ber of gentlemen of Waltonian predilec- tions have planned a little session at the M. A. C, for the purpose of organizing the St. Louis Fly and Bait Casting Club. Last year a number of eager wights started a similar affair, but it scarcely passed the temporary organiza- tion stage, for the want of a proper home for the club. The new fathers of the organization expect to obtain a concession from the Park Commissioner, granting them per- mission to use one of the smaller lakes in Forest Park for their sport. of $500 cham- for a Geod for Bassett.

And yet it is not only a good game, but. there is a national: league with glubs in almost every city of conse- quence in the United States. Annual! conventions are held and tournaments for the national championship at both fly and bait casting are attended by delegates from north, south, east and west. St. Leuts Man Refereed. Last year the tournament was refereed by Mr. Alec Geist of this city. Mr. Geist will be remembered as the fisherman

A gentleman named Held recently estatlished 4a world’s record with a _ one-half-ouace weight, by throwing it 239 feet, a2 mar- velous performance. Although the sport has not previously been organized here, St. Louis has a number of proficient casters. Mr. Ed Werner, who is furnishing the energy that is establishing the new club, can throw close to 200 feet, and a number of others are in this class. Kansas City has, for several years, been represented in the national tour- nament, two clubs sending delegates an- nually. Time for 8t. Louis to get into the game. Chance for Klein, 6D rom BLUCK’S from Missouri University ath- letic affairs means that a St. Louis man wil! probably be elected to the captaincy of the football team to succeed the big tackle. His name is Eddie Klein and he is one of the best allround athletes in the university. Klein helped keep St. . Louis Central High on the baseball and football map for three seasons. He did good work as quarterback for Roper’s eleven last year and is popular with his associates. The occasion is worth notice as, not- withstanding the number of athletes that have journeyed to Missouri Univer- sity from St. Louis, few have ever at- tained to any exceptional honor. Prob- ably little Salisbury was better es- teemed for his baseball, football and track work than any other man who came out of the local jungle. Klein is an almost equally good allround per- former and if the football captaincy is awarded to him it will be in the hands suspension of a careful, conservative and Koarteaty young fellow.

of the Giants’ manager miscarry. This morning a number of the men had al- réady arrived, among them Rube Mar- quard, the big pitcher, Al Shaw, once with the Cardinals, Lehman. Spencer, Klawitter, and one or two others. Tre Giants will be one of the first clubs to get down to hard work train- ing this year. Addie Joss and two of thé Cleveland players passed through the city, stop- ping just long enough to enable Charley Peterson to do a few fancy cue shots for the Cleveland pitcher’s benefit. Joss .S & great billiard fan and thinks Peter- son about the niftiest cue handler in the game, short of Willie Hoppe. Joss is en route to Hot Springs, where he will get a preliminary boil-out be- fore starting regular training work. ‘‘McGuire is sure to have a real club,’’ said Joss. “I don’t know exactly how he will place his infield; probably Mc- Guire himself doesn’t know, until he gets all his material lined up. I think the Cleveland Club will probably give the other teams a much harder fight than was the case last season. “The League fs so well balanced, how- ever, that it will be the merest guess- work picking the winner. Detroit is still a hard nut to crack and will figure well up at the finish, ¥nre.”’ IOWA ATHLETES MUST NOT DANCE WITHOUT PERMISSION IOWA CITY, Io., Feb. 18.—No dancing or “fussing’ without special permission of the coach is one of the training rules prescribed for his track men to live up to the remainder of the school year in the University of Iowa.

H izh School Fives Lose Stars on Eve of Match When the Central and McKinley High School basket ball teams clash, tomor- row night, at the Louisiana Hall, in their annual contest, the basket ball schedule will be completed and the in- terscholastic supremacy will have been decided. The two schools, for the last four years, have been rivals for the leadership and only once did the South Siders win out. That was last season. McKinley's team, last year, was one of the best that ever played in the I. L., having won 15 straight games with not a defeat. This year, however, the two fives have undergone many changes. The line-ups for the decisive game will be different from those of the earlier season. Cen- tral’s center, Lloyd Graf, was deposed last week, but the cause is a mystery to all of the Central High students. McKinley first lost Wiillam von Dach and now it is almost certain that Rey Hoffmann will not play, owing to his iliness. These changes will necessitate some good headwork for the coaches of the two teams on the eve of the big game. McKinley wil! be out the most, as the two stars that are lost cannot be re- placed. On the other hand, Central will switch Marting to center and call How- ard Haynes back into the fray to com- plete the line of the red and black school when they go on the floor for the tenth I. L. title, eight of which they have won, The rivalry existing between the two schools will again be brought forth and might result in fouling.

interscholastic League contenders by about the same scores, and if the same lineups were unchanged the teams would be evenly matched. But the way it stands now Central has the advantage and it is a foregone conclusion that the championship will go to the Grand avenue school. Coach Voss of the McKinley team is still in doubt as to who he will play. Tolkacz, one of the best guards in the Interscholastic League, will be moved into the forward division te play on the side of Zachrits, while Joern, a sec- ond-team man, will play center in the event that Hoffman does not appear fit to go in. The guards will, be taken care of by Milford, Potthoff and Stice, all newcomers this season. Coach Mahood’s lineup will be: Mar- ting, center; Fathman and Haynes, for- wards: Bernet and Kelley, guards. The game will be commenced at 8:30. a year. Only a few years ago, there Was a break in the American League over Ban Johnson. Charley Comiskey was leader against Ban and two or three club owners sided with the Old Roman. There was dissension in the league over that for a considerable time, prob- ably three years all together. Now that seems to have passed entirely away as was clearly shown Wednesday in Chicago when the magnates elected Ban as president of the league for a period of ® years. ; When one recalls the things that Comiskey as well as one or two other magnates of that league have said about Johnson in the past, it is almost un- believable that they could have cast their votes to put this man af the head of their affairs for so long: a time. Either Ban has cleared himself of all former charges or else he has a hyp- notic eye. He is surely the king of] baseball today. There’s no doubt that his executive ability has strengthened the game won- derfully in the past six years, ever since the National agreement was formed. He’s backed by brainy men and men with money, and he shows wonderful execution and dispatch in carrying out their schemes. He's a grand man for O’Connor Will Carry Out of Building Team OTH Owner Hedges and Manager K O’Connor of the Browns were dis- appointed in not putting through at least one trade at the Chicago meet- ing. It looags now as though they will have to start on the training trip with no additional aid to the catching or ‘p.tehing staff and an overabundance of outi.elders. But this condition will not last, for by May 1 the ¢lubs of the Leay.e must be trimmed down to the liralt of 26 players, which means the z-owns must toss away two or three outfielders along with several recruits not yet ready for big league service. But on the other hand, there are one or two clubs in the League that wiil have to release a catcher and a few pitchers, so the Browns may have a chance to piek up some valuable man in this way. Had O’Connor been able to procure a sturdy catcher such as “‘Nig’’ Clarke, and another pitcher, one like Frank Smith, it would seem the Browns would have a chance to be up in the fight this Now that was more than anyone expected when the team was turned over to Jack this winter. : His policy was to get rid of the aged and worn material on the team and fii up with young blood. This he ex- pected to be green and in Hne for de- velopment. He was fortunate in getting a few choice youngsters from the miner leagues and now he is ready to go ahead | with the development.
