As the Dal was sighted the Amer- ican, British and Egyptian flags could be made out flying above the vessel. As the craft turned her-‘nose into the harbor, the thousands on shore were quick to recognize the figure of Col. toosevelt standing on the bridge. He was dressed in a khaki hunting suit and wore a while helmet. Sur- rounding him were the members of thx Sirdar’s staff.

Roosevelt acknowledged the greeting, raising his hat repeatedly and smiling. A steam launch filled with newspaper correspondents from all parts of the world accempanied the Dal in the (ast part of the trin. Upon the pier’ Col. Roosevelt was pressed by an enormous crowd, al! eager for the nearest possible view, but his escort saved him from any por- sible discomfort. He was at once es- corted to the palate of the Sirdar, at the steps of which he was received: by the high Sudan officials. The passage from the steps to the palace door was hned by members of the Sirdar’s body- guard, and as Col. between the lines he again raised, his hat in response to the salutations. of the throng.

Roosevelt arrived at the station in time to meet his wife and daughter upon their arrival. The officials of the city had so ar- ranged affairs that this family reunion, after a year’s separation, was in strict privacy. After a few moments of se- clusion, a very happy appearing family emerged from the station and ‘proceeded to the palace. This evening no one was permitted to disturb the privacy of the Roosevelts.

EE Three members of coterie of St. Louis wealthy men whose taxes are increased. Wit ic. BIXBY DR. MEEKER LIFTS LID AT 225 CLUBS WITHOUT DRINKING Pastor Says He Does Not Have to Go Three Blocks to “Find a Place.”’

The most successful lid lifter in St. Louis is the Rey. Jacob E. Meeker, pastor of the Compton Hill Congrega- tional Church. Two hundred and twen- ty-five different lids has he raised in a year, he says. But it was for purposes of investigation, not because of thirst. Dr. Meeker can go out any time, day or night, and if he were a drinking man (which he says he isn’t) whenever his throat were dry he could consult his mental directory and wouldn't have to walk three blocks “‘‘to find a place.’’ Dr. Meeker, when asked for a few tips on lid lifting, replied: “It cost time —a whole year—for me to learn that. But if there’s a club in the city that I! didn’t find, it has mighty few members. If it ever occurred to Dr. Meeker to \give up the pulpit there is no man in the city who could do such a thriv- ing business as an official guide to Sun- day visitors to St. Louis. — “fT never touch a drop,’’ Meeker Monday. to.”’ How-he visited the clubs without drinking, Dr. Meekér declined to tell. He wouldn’t even say whether anyone had ever approached him with the well- meaning salutation to. a stranger in a hospitable port,. “Have a drink, pal.’’ And when he didn’t take the drink, did the offended one, brimming foam-topped tumbler in hand, empty it over his seber garb, with the old-time admonition, “Well, if you won't take it on the in- side, have it on tne outside?” wr. Meeker savs not. “A man’ can get along any place ana not be bothered if he goes the right way,’ said Dr. Meeker. Every place he visited was carefully jotted down by Dr. Meeker and today he has perhaps the only complete list of St. Louis oases. The result of his travels in the degert as well as the fact that he had ais the travels/"was told by the pastor in his sermon to the mem- bers of the Compton Hill Congregational Church Sunday night. “Warfare against what are known as the lid clubs,’’ he said, ‘‘is unjust and & persecution. Ifthe congested district ‘lid’ club is raided, why are not the University, the Mercantile and the Sst. Louls clubs also raided? “When I went into the Mercantile Club I knew what,I would find there. From knowing the tastes and the means of the members I could forecast in my mind the kind of furnishings the club would have. “The clubs are a natural outgrowth of conditions and 160 of them, have some Into existence since .the ‘lid’ was put on saloons."’ BOY'S DESIRE.TO BE RAGMAN GETS FATHER JAIL SENTENCE The ambition of Joseph Zoelinski, 12 years old, to be a rag merchant caused his father to be sentenced to jail for 10 days, Monday. The boy testified in Judge Klene’s division of the Court of Criminal Correction that instead of going to school he stole away and spent his time on a rag merchant's wagon. John Zoeiinski, the father, of. 1423 North Twenty-first street, testified that fie thought the boy was going to school. The mother gave the. same testimony. Joseph told how he wouta start’to school, but Defore he coula get there, meet a rag merchant’and then it was all off with him.

AYLER MURDER CASE 10 GO OVER TO JUNE TERN Accused Wife:and: Physician Base Hopes on Missing Witness. Special to the Post-Dispatch, WATSEKA, Ill., March 14.—The trial of Mrs. Lucy Sayler and Dr. William R. Miller, accused of the murder of the woman's husband, Banker John B. Say- ler, probably will go over to the June term of court by notion of the defend- ant’s attorneys, who allege they cannot obtain service on Peter Weast, who is to”“be the star witness for the aecused. Weast is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Say- ler and according to affidavits filed with the Court by the woman and the physi- cian, will testify that the relations of Mrs. Sayler and her alleged “affinity’’ were encouraged by Sayler. , Before going into court at 2 o'clock this afternoon, where she and the physi- cian were formally charged with the murder of the banker, Mrs. Sayler de- clared that Weast had supported her ever since she was married to Saylor. Crowds packed every inch of floor space in the courtroom and others stru ;- gied and almost fought for places on the outside where they might catch some hint of the nappenings on the in- side. Special deputies, in addition to the regular officiols, tried to preserve some semblance of order and gmard the prisoners from harm. The case has attracted widespread at- tention in this section and intense feel- ing in some quarters, and as a result people began coming ‘into the city by daylight. Some ef the statements which were made caused . Sheriff Heikes to fear harm would come his prisoners and he immediately err to augment his force by 2 men. These were sworn in as soon as they could be found and they were placed around the jail.
