VOL. 62. “NO. 281. WOMAN POSES AS DIVORCED WIFE OF VAN STUDDIFORD Tells Valley Park Hotel Guests She Is Singer and , Is Married Again. HUSBAND IS WITH HER Known at the Hotel as Mrs. R. E, Flower — Couple Make Trip to en Mo.

A stout, strikingly dressed woman who gave her name as Mrs. R. E. Flowers and who received mall under the name of Mrs. R. E. Litton, aroused the in- terests of guests at the Valley Park Ho- tel in St. Louis County a few days ago by telling them that she was Grace Van Studdiford, actress and divorced wife of Charles Van Studdiford. She said she had just been married to Flowers, who, she said, lived in Pitts- burg. They arrived at the hotel Friday, May %. Flowers remained at the hotel only a short time and left Valley Park. The woman left soon afterward and the couple registered at the Grand Hotel in Cuba, Mo., last Sunday. The man gave the impression at Cuba that he was a railroad contractor. She returned to the Valley Park Ho- tel two days ago and Friday visited St. Louis. On her return in the evening on a suburban train she attracted the at- tention of other passengers, none of whom recognized her as Grace Van Studdiford. | Lyman T. Hay, a relative of Grace Van Studdiford, said Saturday that he knew she was in Kansas City attending a house party, and that he knew she had nt been married. “The report is a false alarm,’’ he said. A telegram from Kansas City to the Post-Dispatch Saturday afternoon told that Grace Van Studdiford is there visiting Mrs. R. L. Jurden. Both were out at luncheon when a Post-Dispatch representative called to secure a state- ment from her. Mrs. Flowers left Valley Park on an early train Saturday morning, after giving up her room, and is supposed to be in tne city.

ST. LOUIS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1910. PORTRAIT OF MRS. DOXEY AND A STUDY OF HER FEATURES AS AFFECTED BY MURDER TRIAL| PRICE

RS DOXEY’S expressive blue eyes and her mouth tell the story of her varying emotions as her trial on a charge of murdering W. J. Erder progresses: In her eyes may be seen surprise at some of the testimony, then defiance and anger, such as she exhibited when Dr. Fuhrman was on the stand. At other moments they are dimmed with tears. Mrs. Dozey’s small mouth tightens into a straight determined line at times, when damaging testimony is being given against her. At other times it expresses eloquently her incredulity.

DYCREDULITF , WIND POSTPONES CURTISS. Fla!

FOR WORLD PRIZE! Aviator Is Ready for Trip Through Air. From Albany to New York.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, ALBANY, N. Y., May 28.—Glenn H. Curtiss was all ready this morning to attempt the flight to New York City in an effort to win the $10,000 prize offered by the New York World and the Post- Dispatch, but the wind was so strong that he decided to postpone the start until afternoon. He was up early, donned his aviation clothes and went to Rensselaer Island, where his machine is housed. -The wind was blowing briskly and as the morning advanced it increased in force. By 8 o’clock it was blowing 20 miles an hour and Curtiss regretfully announced that the start was postponed. “I hope to get away this afternoon,” he said. The machine is all ready for the flight. It was tested last night after machinists had worked on it all day. It was in the air only a short time, but behaved well and the engine developed more power than had been hoped for. May Land in the Water. Part of the precautions adopted by Curtiss to save the machine from sink- ing should he fall or have to alight in the river is a long inflated bag shaped and fitted to the main beam of the chas- sis. The bottom edges of the bag are only a few inches from the ground. The machine with which Curtiss will attempt to win the prize possesses sev- eral improvements upon the apparatus in which he won the championship of the air. The wing tips or stabilizers, which will play a very important part in this flight, since it is they that will keep the mechine true in the tricky winds blowing in all ways from the hills, are much longer and wider, consequently more powerful. The upper surface is extended at each end nearly,two fect further than the lower surface which is a further help in stability. Farman in his latest machine has adopted the same idea. Greater Power Permitted. Both the front and rear controls are much larger, giving greater control and safety, and, although lessening the nor- mal speed of any given power, yet per- mitting greater power to be used with less risk. The gasoline tank of the new machine 1 concealed behind the radiu- tor instea: of being swung overhead. This iessens the head resistance, thereby Increasing the speed, and de- creases thé risk as to the aviator in the event of a tumble.

——— a BERNARD DIERKES OVERCOME BY GAS IN Fld BATHROOM Former City Auditor Uncon- scious When Rescuers Force Locked Door.

Bernard Dierkes, for eight years City Auditor and a well-known choir singer, was overcome by gas in the bathroom of his home, 1765 Preston place, at break- fast time Saturday. He is expected to recover.” Patrolman Treinen of the Central] Dis- trict, who lives at the Dierkes home, said that he and the other members of the household heard a rapping on the bathroom door as they sat at breakfast and that he rushed upstairs, broke in the locked door and found Dierkes al- most unconscious from the gas which filled the room, Dierkes is accustomed to take a hot bath before breakfast, heating the bath- room by a gas stove. It is believed that the gas leaked from the tube after he had turned off the stove. The tape around the end of the tube was found to be unwound. Is Not in Danger. Dierkes was placed in bed and Dr. Hartman was summoned. He said the patient would be well in a few days. A priest was also called. During Mayor Wells’ two adminis- trations Dierkes was auditor, and at the Democratic State primary of 1908 he ran for the nomination for state auditor but was defeated. He has been spoken of a8 a candidate for of- fice at next fall's election, He was known, during his campaigns, as the singin candidate.

WASHINGTON. May 28.—Theodore Roosevelt has written. a letter which has practically indorsed the ffght made by the insurgents of the House of Representatives against Cannon and the regular organization. He has in- vited one of the most influential of tne eastern insurgents to meet him in New York for a conference immediately af- ter his arrival from Europe. At the same time and in line with this comes the announcement that Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of Robert J. Collier to be the guest of honor at a dinner in New York, June 22. Mr. Collier is the editor of Collier’ s| Weekly, which has been one of the most potent weapons used by the con servationists In the fight against Secre- tary Ballinger.

Lorimer Bares His Enmity for Deneen in Senate Speech j (Continued From Page One. for him, a Republican, but other motive than friendship. “Standing in this historic chamber, in a place of high honor, to which my departed friend did all in his power to assist me, I would,’”’ he said, “be un- true to our friendship and to my high regard for him if I did not hurl this malicious, heartless, satanic lie back into. the foul mouth that uttered it. Senator Lorimer then proceeded with

without and epithet in attack on Medill McCor- mick personally. He asserted that Representative Link and Beckemeyer had not made confes- sions as had been charged, but, on the contrary, said that “‘The charges stand as they stood April 30, the uncorrob- orated lies of the Tribune, unsupported only by the bought signature of their weak tool, White.” “Not One Dollar Paid.” Senator Lorimer went on with in- creasing vehemence to assert that the Chicago paper “Lied and knew it lied,” in charging that money was used to purchase his election. “Not one dollar was paid to a single member of the General Assembly for his vote for me,” the Senator declared, and he aitided that when the truth was known everybody would under- stand that the publication of the ar- ticle by White was “a part of a politi- cal conspiracy to drive me out of public life, to ruin me financially be- cause I will not do as other Republi- cans in Tlinois have done—place my- self under the absolute control and dictatorship of the Tribune.” He declared that by subserviency, he could at any time have made his peace with the newspaper. Senator Lorimer gave his version of his Senatorial He declared that it was at the sugges- tion of Gov. Deneen that he had en- tered the field and then only after he and the governor had besought others to make the race. Went Back to Blaine Campaign. The Senator went clear back to the Blaine campaign of 1884 and to a ward contest in Chicago for the alleged gene- sis of his disagreement with the Chi- cago Tribune. At very great length, Senator Lorimer described Chicago's political developments. In 1902, he said, Gov. Deneen, then County Attorney, and other friends urged him tv make his peace with the Tribune, “When they were poor and in need of help,” he said, “they were anxious and pleased to work with the organization even against the constant assault of the newspaper trust; but after they had be- come prosperous and affluent, they felt they could stand the lashing no longer, and ran to the newspaper cover and have been subservient since’ that time.” Coming down to modern times, he de- clared that “all of the power of the city, county, state and general admin- istration under the leadership of Sena- tor Hopkins, Gov. Deneen and Mayor Busse, assembled into a misfit organi- gzation,’’ combined to destroy the or- ganization controlled by Lorimer with intent to give control to the Tribune. Traced Breach With Deneen. He traced his breach with Gov. Deneen largely to a difference of opinion between the two as to the wisdom of spending independently of action by the National Government the $20,000,000 pledged by the State towards the deep waterway to. the gulf project, which the Governor fa- vored and he opposcd. He asserted in the preparation of White's story, he went on to say. | “The Governor joined this cam- paign of slander because he saw an opportunity to throw dust in the eyes of the people, use the conspira.. °- oil Ze hie a P ? . ,

He further at- tacked the Chicago Tribune’s policy in opposition to the Payne-Aldrich tariff, attributing it to its failure to put in the free list wood pulp, which would have saved it $40,000 a year. Only Tax In Which Paper Shares. ‘‘This,’’ he said, ‘‘is the only tax we have any record of in which the Tri- bune pays its just share.” Lorimer confined himself closely to, his manuscript. He spoke in a distinct tone and he commanded close attention. Most of the Senators were in their seats and included among the outside auditorium was practically the entire Illinois dele- Lorimer spoke from his seat in the rear of the extreme right side of the chamber. When the suggestion was made that he should take a more cen- tral position he said he considered it preferable for present purposes to speak from his own seat. He charged the newspaper with bene- fitting thus to the extent of $151,500 a year. Concluding, Mr. Lorimer asserted that the Tribune had dogged him all these years because it had not been able to lash him into subr&ission. ‘‘The purpose of these charges,”’ he de- clared, “‘was to disgrace and destroy my friends and myself, whom they cannot control, and to come into absolute con- trol of the Republican party in Illinols and to secure themselves in continued plundering of the public treasury.” Senator Lorimer’s resolution for an investigation of his election was re- ferred under‘the rules to the committee on contingent expense.

He said he had been drinking and wandered into the Vaughn kitchen to sleep, but he could not ex- plain why he took Vaughn’s trousers from the bedroom for a pillow. He had also transferred a purse con- taining $20 from Vaughn’s pocket to his own. Vaughn, who drives an ice wagon, arose a few moments before 4 o’clock and went to the kitchen to start a fire. He heard a noise and as he struck a match to light the gas jet saw the ne- gro crouching in @ corner.’ The negro did not move. Vaughn called his wife. ‘“T.ooks like he was asleep,”’ remarked Vaughn. “He can’t fool me that way,” said Mrs. Vaughn, who weighs 150 pounds, is 30 years old, and is of determined as- pect. And she placed a chair so that a rung was over the negro’s neck, seat- ed herself in it and remarked: ‘Now you go for a policeman and I'll take care of him until you get back.”’ . Vaughn dia not stop for his trousers or anything else. Clad in his night- shirt, he hailed Policeman Miller at the nearest corner, and a rap of Mil- ler’s club brought Policeman Mallon from Washington avenue. “He'll get away before we get there,” remarked the policemen when Vaughn told them that his wife was holding the negro prisoner. “She'll be lucky if he Women Sat on Burglar.

Both were bruised, but otherwise un- injured, Reed was engaged in a tryout and Was going at top speed when the steer- ing gear of his car broke, in rounding a curve of the track, and the machine was plunged into the ditch. Reed applied the brakes immediately, shut off the power and the car turned turtle. Both of the oecupants were thrown out. This accident, however, did not mar the races. The regular program was delayed un- til 2 o’clock for a.hurdle race, three heats and a final. The two hurdles)»were wooden bridges, twelve feet high, sharp- ly inclined on each side. McGee won, making the two and al half miles and the two hurdles in 8:38 Meyers was second and Gregg third. All three cars were overlands.

By Leased Wire From the New York Barean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 28.—Gov. Folk’s friends here are preparing to launch his boom in the East right on theheels of the June 2 banquet in St. Louis. Quite a sentiment for sthe Missouri reformer has developed in the ranks of the Bryan Progressive League. Augustus Thomas, the playright, and. advocate of W. J. Bryan, is président of this organization, and sailed with the Nebraskan last Saturday, and in his absence, J. Francis Condon of Utica is the acting presi- dent. Mr. Condon, who is also president of the Income Tax League, is preparing to call a meeting of the Progressive League, and will probably call it for June 3. The object will be to start an organized resistance to the Harmon boom, whichsis being very industriously nursed. Whether this meeting will in- dorse Gov. Folk’s candidacy or not is yet to be determined, though there is a sentiment toward favoring him as the likeliest candidate now before the pub- lic around whom the radical sentiment can be crystallized. Ingalls for Harmon. The local anti-Harmon interests have taken some alarm over the development of sentiment favorable to the Ohio leader. M. FE. Ingalls, president of the Big Four, was here a couple of days ago and the first thing he uncorked was an interview favoring Harmon for the presidency, and when asked as to Mayor Gaynor, said he thought Harmon and Gaynor would make a great ticket... This was the ticket which was most talked about during the month of March at Hot Springs, where National Chair- man Norman E. Mack sat in state and received Democratic leaders from the West and South, to say nothing of Tam- many Leader Murphy, who went all] the way to the Arkansas spa to talk na- tional politics. THE NEW TREATMENT FOR CONSUMPTION AND KINDRED DISEASES WITH SARTOLIN The cure is achieved by following the methods propounded by authorities such as Galen (the father of therapeutics), Rhages, Mascagni, Pasteur and others, vizs.: By means of the dry distillation of chemicals, breathed in conjunction .with air (internal Antisepsis) and by the ap- plication of Balsam externally. Sartolin goes to the root of the trou- ble by killing the Bacilli, cleansing and renewing those air passages, the ob- struction or fouling of which is respon- “sible for Asthma, Bronchitis and Con- sumption, Sartolin makes the application of nar- cotics unnecessary, No medicine ‘g re. quired, no Sanatorium—the Sanatorium being at Home.

The dispensing of drugs and medicines in Medley of Heard in Melody Horn of - News Phonograph ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 2%.—When Mrs. C. E. Barthwell, wife of the largest , law and medical book dealer in the Mid- dle West, left home March $ for Hot Springs, for the baths, her husband hugged and kissed her fervently at the railroad station, thrust a $60 bill into her hand just as the train was pulling out and every day during her stay there he wrote her endearing letters and sent generous sums of money. Last night, when Mrs. Barthwell re- turned to Ann Arbor, there was no lov- ing husband to meet her at the station. She went to her home and there, when she threw her arms about the neck of her husband, a strange woman appeared and chided her for the familiarity. Then she noticed the strange woman was wearing at her throst a diamond brooch Mr. Barthwell had given her last Christ- mas. She was atffl further dazed when her husband led her to the kitchen door and told her to leave. Barthwell had obtained a suppressed divorce from her on May 20 and last Monday married his first wife, whom he had divorced befurs he married his sec- ond. Mrs. Barthwell will seek to have the suppressed divorce set aside on the ground of fraud. \ Smith College Library Not Manned; Is ‘‘Womaned.”’ NORTHAMPTON, Mass., May 28.— When asked how the new Smith College library, dedicated yesterday afternoon, would be manned, President L, Clark Seeley responiied gravely: “It won't be manned: it will be ‘womaned,’”’ there- by making it known that the librarian and assistants would be feminine. The library cost $75,000. Andrew Car-. negie gave $62,000 and John D. Rocke- feller $12,500. Three Cyphers Left Off Cuts Children’s Inheritance. MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 32%.-—Al- though the late Mrs’ Margaret Watson Allis probably intended to leave to each of her four grandchildren $25,000, they will have to be content with $2, County Judge Karel has decided. Guardians of the grandchildren claimed the leaving off of three cyphers in the will was a mistake. Judge Karel held that in spite of the fact that there might have been an oversight, the terms of the will were too plainly written to ignore. Gen. F. C. Winkler, who ies counsel .for the late Mrs. Allis, drew up the document, and testified that the leaving off of the cyphers was a mis- take, as he had often heard Mrs. ‘Allis declare that she intended leaving $25,000 te the grandchildren. It is expected & settlement will be made out of court with the grandchil- dren, who are Margaret Watson Allis Norris of Milwaukee, Edward Phelps Allis III of Mentone, France, Maud Al- dis Conway of Louisville and William Phelps Allis, also of Mentone. Child Rides Mile-a-Minute — in Flume and Is Unhurt. GLOBE, Ariz., May 28.—Thomas Gard- ner, a five-year-old boy of Thatcher, announced Speaker Cannon to 100 school- boys of New York and iladelphia who were being shown the sights of the Capitol. “Occasionally I add an orange,” said Uncle Joe, ‘“‘and that’ makes the break- fast cost 15 cents, but that extrava- gance is not ‘usual. When I was a boy I learned to keep within my in- come; now I am able to save a little.” The boys looked at the great man open-mouthed. They had just seen him alight from his $6000 touring car, and somebody told them about his $75,000 home in Vermont avenue. The Speaker's announcement of his frugality struck the boys as a huge jcke. “It’s funny economy,”’ remarked one bright-eyed youngster, ‘‘to live on 10- cent breakfasts and smoke ‘three- furs’ ’’—three cigars for a dollar. Coffin Opened by Vandals but Body Is Undisturbed. CLEVELAND, O., May 2%.—A coffin lying half way out of a wrecked burial vault in Erie Street Cemetery, the oldest burying place in the city, with a pair of men’s socks and several used matches lying beside it, has given the police of Cleveland one of the strangest problems they have ever been called upon to solve. The coffin contains the body of H. B. Davis, an undertaker, who died in 1892. The outer casket was broken open, but the leaden receptacle in which was the body was undisturbed.

TO .-“UIFT Li Promoters Declare Organiza- tion Will be Exclusive; Dues $3 a Yéar. Cooney Besch, owner of Cherokee Gar- den, who recently lost his saloon license for violation of the Sunday closing laws, is to reopen his garden as a club. Excise Commission Caulfield revoked the license about two weeks ago. The evidence showed that liquor was being sold at the garden on Sundays. Former Excise Commissioner Mulvihill, who had several times warned Besch against sell- ing Hquors on Sunday, was a witness against him at the trial. In letters soliciting members, the state. ment is made that, contrary to expecta- tions of many people, Cherokee Garden will not be closed. “The Cherokee Club,”’ the letter states, “which has long been organized under the laws of Missouri, and whose officers and members in the conduct of its busi- ness have fully complied with all the laws of the State and met the require- ments of the most law-abiding citizens, has leased Cherokee Garden, the build- ings and all equipments thereon and will conduct it exclusively for the com- fort and pleasure of the members of the club.”’ It ig announced that the club will be made as thoroughly exclusive as any of the most aristocratic and refined clubs in the city, and that the annual dues will be $3. Membership in the other ex- clusive St. Louis clubs costs from $60 to 1 $500 a year. The letters are sent out by E. T. Koch, secretary. His name does not appear in the new City Directory. “Let me impress upon you,”’ he says in his letter to prospective members, “that this is not a so-called ‘lid-lifting club,’ organized and created for the purpose of dispensing liquors in viola- tion of the law, but an organization which in all things meéts the require- Iments of the law and will receive and enjoy the protection of the law.”’ The statement is made that while the privileges of the club are for mem- bers only the rules and regulations pro- vide that any member may entertain his friends and guests at the club any time he may desire. — Diamonds on Credit.

Shea, Chief of the Bertillon system; and John P; Harne- gan, detective, is anxious to be taken to Jefferson City as soon as possible to begin serving his 12-year sentence so he can get out and rejoin the wife he has married since his escape in 1901. She bade him farewell at the dock when he left the other side In the cus- tody of Shea and Hannegan and prom- ised to come to America as soon as pos- sible and be near him. “She is one of the best little women on earth,’’ Mathu- sic says, ‘“‘and she will be here in three months. She has promised to wait for me.” Mathusic was being taken to the peni- tentiary in 1901 when he escaped in a sensational manner. He and Louls J. McDowell, handcuffed together, had gone into the toilet room. Mathusic pro- posed to McDowell that they Jump out of the window. The train was going 40 miles an hour. McDowell refused. Mathusic jumpei anyway, dragging Mc- Dowell with him. Both were unconscious for some time after they struck the ground. When they recovered they walked some distance, still handouffed together. Mathusic finally got his hand out of the cuff and made off. He made his way back to St. Louis and then went East and finally to Europe. He was sent to prison in Lon- don and in Germany. His identity was finally discovered and the two officers went to London a month ago for him. They wer» delayed by the red tape of the London police system and did not get back until Friday night.

Frank Hl. Gerhart, foe .of grade crossings, at the trial of the grade crossing injunction suit in Judge Withrow’'s court. Mr. Ger- hart had been callel as a witness by the city to tell what he knew about grade crossings. After the city’s lawyer had } finished with him he was subjected to a severe cross-examination at the hands of the opposing lawyers, chief of whom was former Judge Priest. On direct examination Mr. Gerhart said he was the author cf the present grade crossing ordinances, having ‘com- piled them from similar ordinances ia other cities. He said he believed the ordinances wer> practicable and’ that the railroads should,.comply with them. At this juncture one of the rafiroad at- torneys accused the witness of inspiring articles in the newspapers relative to grade crossings. Gerhart denied this. ‘You furnished the newspapers with the material, did you not?” persisted the attorney. “That's untrue,” ness. “What have you given to the papers?” “Merely copies of arguments I might have presented in favor of the elimina- tion of grade crossings,” , The witness then added that all he was advocating was that the railroads give St. Louis rights it accords to other cities.

As a result of political tradition from the nine- teenth century, many voters in Missouri believe that there are two political parties in the State and that they “belong” to one or the other of them. | Everything that is now taking place in Mis- souri shows that this belief is founded on tradi- tion, not on existing facts. The two political machines in Missouri are both controlled by the game influences. They are both unresponsive to party and wholly. unrepresentative of political principles, as these belong to popular govern- ment. They are both opposed to popular govern- ment. Now as for ten years past, their work is controlled to make popular government more and more nearly impossible. ’ When the work of “taking over” everything else has progressed so far that governments, city, State and National, must become “holding companies” for those who take over everything else, this conversion of government power from public to private use is logical. It is the neces- sary logic of the situation. Under the bucketshop principle in business it “organizes results to leave nothing to chance.” . The political machines of what were once parties are now controlled for this purpose of conyerting American governments, municipal, State and National, into private “holding com- panies.” The evidence is so clear that it can fail to convince only those who are ready to be “taken over.” If this is what American Democracy and the experiment of Republican government is to mean, it is to be decided soon. The plans of both ma- chines in the State of Missouri mean government reorganized as a holding company. — a A, Ly . 1 gl

A COMPLETE ABOLITION OF THE TOLL AT ONCE WOULD RESULT IN A CONGES- TION OF BUSINESS ON THE ST. LOUIS SIDE WHICH WOULD PARALYZE TRAFFIC. —From the Report of the Municipal Terminal Commission, Nov. 15, 1905.

Those without enthusiasm in sporting affairs may be either surprised or disgusted over the ex- aggerated position awarded the public in its rela- tion to the coming conflict between Jeffries and Johnson. Reading of the current news leads plainly to the conclusion that the public is the third party to this fistic affair. The selection of one certain referee, we read, is assurance that “the public will get a square deal.” San Francisco’s Chief of Police, who is no doubt an eminent authority on ring matters, has also taken the public under his beneficent ,wing and extended the promise that its rights will be amply protected. He will take personal care that Johnson does his level best to beat Jeffries to a pulp and that Jeffries reciprocates in kind. It may be that the public has rights which should be safeguarded. If Johnson should “lay down,” or Jeffries should “stall,” there would doubtless be consternation in a thousand barber shops and ten thousand bar rooms. The colored population may be reduced to bankruptcy if Johnson’s celebrated “punch” is missing and their uncolored brethren may be chagrined if it isn’t. But isn’t it a bit presumptuous to suggest that the public has a vital interest to be protected when the public would vote prize fighting out of existence if given a chance? = = = i i 4

But the favorite clubs are not gaining, nor even holding their own. In fact a reaction against clubs appears to prevail for the present, and as London is the great head center of clubdom throughout’ the world, there has naturally been a good deal of surprise at it, Some people attribute the movement to the in- creased taxation on incomes and the generally increased cost of living. The man of leisure with a fixed income has been the mainstay of lub life in London. The new taxes have cut his in- come heavily, and the diminished purchasing power of money has cut it more heavily still. Therefore. the victim has had to cut his ex- penses; and in the cutting the club has been one of the things he has been most ready to forego. It is said the new restaurants, bright and gay with flowers and music and women, are also drawing men from the club dining room. There is so much joy of life in the new London that men prefer to get away from the old club exclu- siveness. It is no longer necessary to be a member of a high-class club in order to get a good dinner and meet good company. The American invasion with its demand for bril- liancy of hotel life, has changed the old order of things. So the famous Londor clubs are oe: ing their former prestige. They cost too much and they are too dull.

I was compelled to send my dear children (two) away because I could not support them. I have strug- sled alone for eight years. I have had a good education, a very good musical education, but neither of these facts count for anything. I have reached out in every direction for a position, but I receive the same answer everywhere, “We only employ experienced help.” | I spend all of my change for advertisements and carfare, but all the doors seem to be closed to me. I receive nothing in the way of an- Swers outside of kitchen work or some proposi- tion as housekeeper for men. I need work and must have it, not for pin money nor fine clothes, but for the absolute ne- cessities of life. I¢ you will publish this in your column of letters from the people, you will greatly oblige ANOTHER UNHAPPY WIDOW. A Widow’s Advice. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Iam similarly situated, being a widow with two ‘children to support, but I am not able to earn over $5 a week, being handicapped by a para- lytic hand. I, too, applied for work, that I am able to do, but without success. I will not de- spair, trusting in the Lord, for all things come by His will—sorrow and happiness alike. Look up to Him in sincere prayer. It means many sad hours comforted by the inspiration that relief will eventually come. K. G. G. Chance for Unhappy Widow. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If unhappy widow is willing to do housework in the country, where she will be treated as one of the family, and she and her child will have plenty to eat and God's free air to breathe, and money enough to buy good, decent clothes, among good Christian people, I will undertake to pay her way to them and secure her a place with my friends. Telephone Forest 736. MRS. 8. A. ROBINSON, A Happy Widow. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have read with interest the speech made by |Geo. Sehon at the Y. M. C. A. about widows re- marrying. I have also read tonight with inter- est about “Widow’s Troubles.” I was left with two children and didn’t find ft so burdensome like this widow with one baby. Brace up. I think we are better off than some of our sis- ters that are married and don’t get $5 a week to keep house with. Love your baby more and not yourself so much. L. M. Ambitious Widow. To the Pditor of the Post-Dispatch. “Widows should remarry” are the words of Mr. Geo. L. Sehon at the Charities Conference. Unfortunately I am one of the many depending on myself at middle age for an existence, in a position from dey to day not knowing what to- mcrrow may bring. Now Mr. Sehon’s speech is encouraging and no doubt would find husbands for the many widows if it lay in his power. I would marry a good, kind elderly man in one of our far Western States, who would appreciate a geod woman left to struggle without means for the future; who would lHke a good home, and in declining years be a kind wife as well as a com- panion. When I say far Western States I have no preference. I only surmise that in the far West my sex are scarce and widows might find a good husband. MIDDLE-AGED WIDOW. The young man, who signed himself “Hebrew” in last night’s Post-Dispatch, will find suitable employment by applying at 701 Commonwealth Trust building. Naming 8t. Vincent’s To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to naming St. Vincent’s Seminary, in be named simply the St. Vincent. Why should we try to always label the residence of the women who are obliged by circumstances and have the admirable fortitude and courage to earn their living in an honorable way by different handy- | works? I repeat to label their residence by “Work- ing Girls’ Home,” “Christian Home,” etc. How would the women who pass their lives doing abso- lutely nothing, indulging their selves in all pleas- ures; how would they like to have the hotels where they make their abodes labeled, The Idle Women’s Home or the Lazy or Leisure Women’s Home? WORKING GIRLS’ FRIEND. Ragtime Music. To the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. A nickelodeon is to a certain extent a good education for the general public, especially the poorer class. But if we take its music at large, a person of common sense must admit that it is almost disgusting to hear exclusively ragtime. I would suggest to elevate these performances to a better level, to cut out the drum, which is. en- tirely against musical law, and substitute violin or flute. The average taste of the public can thus be refined. The songs also seem to be manufac- tured by wholesale and resemble each other, re- vealing the inartistic competitive spirit of their unoriginal composers. Let us therefore abolish such fake music and reinstate the renaissance style. I would rather starve than act against sense, style and principle asthetical. UNEMPLOYED MUSICIAN. —_—_——_——— St. Louis Is Careless. To the Editor of the Fost-Dispatch. A New Yorker leaving a summer garden where he had heard grand opera remarked: “St. Louis is a slow old burg; her people will never learn to appreciate good music until they cultivate quietude. Did you notice during the first act how those women got way down next to the stage when they learned from the usher that they were in the wrong aisle, and had to be led around, disturbing many; and how the girls, stending in the aisles waiting for seats, tittered and giggled when those .seated nearby straining their “merves to hear and see; and when these people were seated how the ushers slammed the seats? Why I had to arise three times to let people who had seats in my row pass. “In New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and other musical cities, people are not permitted to take their seats during the play, st.

TELL THE TRUTH, From the Potosi Independent. The resolutions that appear in anoth- er place in this issue of the Independent were, I suppose, intended to control my action in conducting the editorial page of this paper. It is needless to say they are futile. I intend to keep right on giv- ing the facts to the patrons of this pa- per about candidates when, in my judg- ment, the facts ought to be known. Where a corporation shark endeavors to disguise himself by wearing the robe of Democracy, I intend to tear it from him and expose him before the primary. Democrats should know the records of men who seek positions at their hands in order that they may act intelligently in making selections for their ticket. If a man is a corporation tool, if he has a record foul enough to male hell vomit, why should the facts not be made pub- lic in time to prevent further damage?

BOSTON’S ARRESTED UPLIFT. William Hemmingway in Harper’s Weekly. “Honey Fitz’’ is Mayor of Boston— and still none of the terrible things prophesied by his enemies have come to pass. On the contrary, the year’s at the spring, spring’s at the morn, the lark’s in the sky, the snail’s on. the thorn, and all’s well with the world, so far as Boston is concerned. That all will continue to be well seems likely enough, for the new charter has tied the hands of the Mayor so that he cannot be so prodigal of the city’s money as he was in 1906-7, and an adverse city coun- cil is watching him narrowly. Why was the good Mr. Storrow defeat- ed? Because of his excess of goodnéss, shall we say? That would be almost accurate, but not quite. Nearer to the exact truth is the statement that civic righteousness was made odious in the campaign by the too strident shout- ing of its aposties. A certain narrow- ness of vision and bitterness heart among the champions of virtue repelled many voters. Other causes were at work, too; but I think that the lack of humanity which has not seldom been discovered in reformers was the chief cause of the defeat of Reform.

TAFT INTEGRITY. “The ee: at Work,” June World’s One Senator, suggesting an amend- ment, remarks: “This could do no harm and would satisfy a certain public genti- ment.” Mr. Taft takes fire ‘With immense vehemence he answers: “T will do nothing to gratify public sentiment. The bill may be altered to make it more effective, but I will have ‘“PATHER TIME UP TO DATE. JUST A MINUTE. Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams. HUSH, FELLOWS! I, ‘I know a mountain stream that sings By many cool and shady keeps, And eagles on their sun-kissed wings — Disport them in the azure deeps. The smiling skies surmount the steeps, And where the river winds about And ever on and onward leaps— Hush, fellows—trout! II. The spell of peace is present there And every peak against the sky A frowning tower lest the care And stress of life adventure by. The hills of peace uplifted high Against intrusion from without, And, where the deep, clear waters lie— Hush, fellows—trout! ITI. The breath of life is in the breeze That shakes the aspen on the hill, And wondrous are the lullabies The river sings when night is still.

WARNING. If the Cotton Belt has not already taken steps which it cannot retrieve, perhaps there is someone who will warn it against joining the Terminal As- sociation? Did the Cotton, Belt read what Judge Spencer had to say to the State Board of Equalization? Does it know that the Eads Bridge is only held together by the paint up- on the superstructure, and that as soon as warm weather softens the paint the whole structure will tumble into the river like a ton .. bricks? Does it know that the ‘Yerminal has not made @ cent in seven years, but has steadily lost money and is losing it today? Does it know thai the Terminal has been quiet- ly kept up for some time by rich friends like the St. Louis Transfer Com- pany and the 8t. Louis Provident Association? Let George Gould do it if he will, but not before we have tried to save him, of his calling. We do hope he does for the rampageous Mr. Johnson, and, hav- ing done for him, understands how we, who are as undemonstrative as himself, will always feel about it. “How did Bresnahan hurt himself?” “Why, I think he broke his team’s winning streak.” Judging by Mr. Sryan’s strictures jupon the conduct of that gentleman, Harmon is not so much of a start on harmony as some people thought.

make up the book’s two dozen chapters. An amusing chapter on the Royal Acad- emy incloses a portrait of Maria done in of] which is perilously near carica- ture. The chapters on “Drawing Room Fishing” and “At Homes” are gems, and Mrs. Dilibinkie and others of Maria’s circle are highly entertaining personages. (John Lane Co.) “A MARRIAGE UNDER THE TER- ROR.” HILANTHROFY as. applied to lit- erature is a fine thing, not nec- essarily because it led to the production of “A Marriage Under the Terror,” but rather on the broader ground that literary effort nowadays is greatly accelerated by a monetary stim- viant. One Melrose, an Pnglish—or, maybe, Irish—booklover, offers an an- nual prize of 20 guineas for the best piece of fiction produced in the British Isies, This year’s winner, written by

tician’s grandson. The author does not seem as certain of himself in handling the young man. He portrays Chairman Presson of the State Committee, Can- didate “Honest Arba” Spinney and Gen. Waymouth with the freedom and con- fidence that comes of an actual ac quaintance with the men. Harlan Thorn ton is an imaginary character, and he shows he is not real There are only three women in the book—and one of them ig merely the fother of one of the others. If the girls were left out Httle would be lost save an excuse for a severe drub- bing that the young hero gtves to « hated rival. But the fight was suf- ficiently interesting to excuse the pres- ence of the young women, who are drawn as contrasting types, but who are really very much alike, being sawed out of the same kind and thickness ‘of pine boards. (Harper & Bros.) “THE O’' FLYNN.” T was when James held court in Dub | lim and William of Orange occu- pied London that The O’Flynn flourished. Coming back from “the wars’’—which in that day served ad- venturers with all the fun that later Americans found m fighting IAdians— O’Fiynn finds his ancestral hall im ruing and the estate wasted by a drunken father whose death recalled him from the fascinating pursuit of loot. Ledy Benedetta crosses hig path and though she is vowed to another O’Flynn swears that he will win her. How he accomplishes the apparently difficult feat of persuading a woman against her will is the charming material of Justin Huntley McCarthy's remance, “The O’¥iynn.” It is the story of as fine an Irish type as ever found its place in Itterature. (Harper’s.) “ACCORDING TO MARIA” sort of woman who wants to know all the persons who do not- wart to know her, and who hés aphasia, amnesia and astigmatism in regard to those who do wish her ac- quaintance, is a famfliar type, but it takes ingenious and tolerant treatment to make her the central] figure of « pleasing story. . This Mrs. John Lane has done in “According to Maria.” Maria’s frankness rather takes the curse off her snobbery, and the reader even feéls a sort of sympathy for her in some of the severest of the snubs which are the climber’s inevitable lot. Maria Smith is the wife of a London grocer whose business hae risen to the dignity of a corporation, making ft possible for her to aspire to a social position above that of the tradesman’s wife. Between spasms of democratic feeling, usually due to some particularly pointed snub, she {is an arrant title«vor- shipper. Her husband, balking at the role of a Mr. Pipp, plays the part of milistone, pendant about Marta’s néck, and Diana, her only child, is an added weight. Maria’s worrtes tn regard to Diana grow throughout the tale. Their first expression is in the utterance: “I should die of mortification ff she didn’t mar- ry. It would?be so awful elways to have her name on my visiting card, and see her front teeth begin to be filled with gold.” Realizing this state of her mother’s feelings, and desiring to please, Diana sets about at the age of 15, to get her self engaged. Meeting Sir Peter Tip- pett, husband of the most aristocratic joke by Peter, almost aria her hardwon place in Lady pett’s favor. ogee Presents, both of the wedding and the Christmas varieties, cause Maria no little distress. ii He aaztil

I ti Patricia Wentworth, is an un-British as a book could well be. It has to do with the French Revolution, and most of its principals “‘sneeze into the bas- ket’ before the last chapter is reacned. As in the younger Dumas’,short story, “Blanche Beaulieu,” a n of the people falls in love with a girl of the aristocracy. In some respects, notably the clroumstances surrounding the mar- riage, this prige novel is hauntingly like Dumag’ work. But, whereas the French author made a grim tragedy of his story, the author of this novel takes her readers to the usual, but in this case not at all conventional, happy end- ing.

LOUISANS should find an abundance of interest in “The Land of Frozen Suns,” a novel by B. W. Sinclair, inasmuch as the hero of that novel is started off in this city and is carried through a series of adventures which are thrill- ing to the extreme.

Buying furs in this terri- tory at the time this story is pitched, spells fight, and Sumner getée all he wants of it, thanks to the author. The Hudson Bay Company does not rélish the intrusion on what it con- siders itg preserves, and the idea of paying an Indian trapper even a fair price for his furs is unwholesome to it. So Sumner and his allies are made thé center of an organized effort to teach a lesson to interlopers and their troubles are many.

There are deft touches, alt of them human, which lead the reader along through a gauntlet of love, adventure and prowess which is pleasing, even until the last leaf has been turned. Sinclair is not a newcomer in stories of this sort—stories which deal with the silent and even lawless North. “Raw Gold” is another of his works which has found many admirers and will find raany more. (Dillingham.) “THE DAUGHTERS OF SUFFOLK.” HP® history of the days of Ed- T ward VI, Bloody Mary and Queen Elizabeth does not need much treatment to make it into romance, and Willlam Jasper Nicolls has not varied or adorned it much in writing “The Daughters of Suffolk.” Perhaps he has stuck to the record a little too closely, particularly in the parts explaining the customs of the middle sixteenth century. For instance, when Katharine Grey is about to flee in the early morning from her father’s castle, to implore the King to dissolve the marriage into which she has been tricked, the reader’s attention is suddenly diverted to de- scription of the extravagant costumes of the time, with quotations to the length of three pages from Stubbes and

This interruption is ostensibly to show the reader what a hard time Katharine had in deciding what garments to take; but by the time one has waded through several hundred words about vertugalles and petticoats and taffetas and netherbockes, his in- terest in the flight episode is apt to be lukewarm. Christmas customs are pictured in the opening of the story. The execution of Lady Jane Grey and the imprison- ment of Katharine, immediately after her marriage to the heir of the be headed Somerset, are told in the clos- ing chapters with considerable fidelity to history. The % illustrations are a novel and charming feature of the book. They are copies of old prints, and are quaint specimens of the por- traiture and scenic art of three and a half centuries ago. (J. B.

L. Sayler, did not | exactly discover the North Pole, but their airship carried them within ten miles of it, which is supposed to be con- siderably nearer than Dr. Cook’ got, and they discovered a Russian treasure ship, which was a far more practical achievement. By their discovery they proved that there was substance to an old myth of a phantom shipeentombed in an iceberg. The airship.of the Airship Boys was far in advance of anything that has been accomplished so far by the alir- ship men. The monster dirigible balloon was inflated with electrically heated hydrogen. When it was impracticable to use the airship, the car was trans- formed into an ice yacht and aeroplane combined, which skimmed along the ice or sailed over open leads, as emergency required. The Airship Boys have enough hair- breadth escapes and thrilling adventures to satisfy the most exacting boy reader. (Reilly & Britton Co., Chicago.)

President Hedges, dissat- [) ‘new « the next at-home stand of the Browns, it is possible that several , isfied With the showing of the team, is making every possible effort to strengthen his club, and hints that he will have made a few additions to his _ Club before many more days have passed. _ The Browns return from a disastrous Eastern trip Sunday. They meet the Tigers of Detroit at Sportsman’s Park. ~The most important addition to the ' team will be Pat Newnam, the former ‘Houston (Texas League) first baseman. It required exactly two weeks for Hedges to turn the deal whereby New- nam becomes a Brownie Whether Newnam strengthens the club remains to be seen. He's not a spring chicken any more. His age varies from Still, during the gix or more years he has played in the Texas League he has been a star. Hit- * ting and speed are his specialties. Whether Newnan makes good or not, his acquisition shows that President Hedges is eager to strengthen his team. Another Purchase Probable, “Within a short while I am hopeful of announcing the purchase of a player, who I think will greatly help the Browns,” stated President Hedges to the Post-Dispatch. ‘‘He hasn’t been up in the big league before, but he is now playing in an organization that isn’t : far removed from the majors. . “Tt’s a difficult matter to get good ‘baliplayers. I was just two weeks in closing the deal for Newnam and it may be that long before I can get this other player.”’ | _ It is believed that the proposed new- comer is a second baseman. Hedges at differert times has hinted that Griggs’ work at second base hasn’t been up to the proper standard. desire to get a new guardian of that pillow and then shift Griggs to the out- field. Just who Griggs will supplant is a question. Hedges was disappointed over the an- nouncement that the New York Amert- cans had released Catcher Jack Khkeinow It is O’Connor’s. he told President Farrell of the New York club that he would pay most any price for the receiver. However, ac- cording to Hedges, the deal with the Boston club was pulled off without Hedges being considered at all. Hedges does not blame Manager O'Connor for the poor showing of the Browns, He has all the confidence in the world in his new manager and will not begin to judge his work until new and better players are obtained for his use. It wouldn’t be surprising if in the near future a certain member of the Browns’ twirling corps, a pitcher who doesn’t hurl with his right, figures in a deal. One of the Eastern clubs is Known to fancy this pitcher and !s said to be willing to make some sort of dea] for him. To Trade, or Not to Trade? regarding some of the old twirling tal- ent on his club. He would like to dispose of some of these players but fears that after leaving the St. Louis club they might take a new le: 2» on life and make the deal or deals look bad for the St. Louis club. Hedges is carrying a couple of twirl- ers, who receive something like $3500 a year and whose services don’t amount to 8 cents. They can hardly be sent to the minors’ as a couple of American League clubs would be willing to pay the $1500 waiver price on them. He fears to let them go, though, because they may repeat the work of Cy Morgan, who wasn't worth the price of his car- fare to the St. Louis club, but has been a regular winner since being turned loose.

NEW YORK, May 28.—A long interview with John L. Sullivan was given out kere to- day in which the former champion answers at length the question: “‘Do you think the Jeffries-Johnson fight is going to be on the level?’ He says: “There are some things about the affair that sound peculiar, but there won’t be any- thing wrong when the men get Into the ring. Both of them are ‘going to fight to win, and that’s all there is to it. ’ “The only incidents that seemed peculiar were in the preliminaries. There was a good deal of secrecy at that time about things that the public felt that it was en- titled to know. The public pays for the thing and there must be criticism, of course, when the public is deprived of knowing what is going on. “Bay, for instance, Tex Rickart has put up $110,¢00 for the fight. Simply as an ex- ample, it has been proven it was only §75,- 000. Do you think for an instant Rickart or anyone else will make this loss good? Cer- tainly not. If the public does not pay no one will, and the public should not be com- pelled to pay for something that it knows nothing. of. a “I mean, frankly, that the purse will go as it has been secretly arranged to go. The men are not fighting for glory, ‘as they did years ago. They are after the money, and they have arranged among themselves how the proceeds shall be divided. this is none of the business of the publie because they will see the fight they pay to see, but I believe the public should have been let in on the details at the outset.” .« ee BRESNAHAN SIGNS NEW CATCHER FROM GREENVILLE A telegram to the sporting depart- ment of the Post-Dispatch received at noon today reads as follows: MACON, Ga., May 28.

Johnson’s Lack of Aggressiveness Will Force Californian to Adopt an Entirely Different Style of Battle Than He Formerly Used.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. LTHOUGH James J. Corbett, ac- cording to his own declaration, has not come to California to take charge of Jim Jeffries’ training, it is generally believed that plans of the former champion for a revision of the big fellow’s work will be adopted and that “Gentleman Jim” will wield great influence’ Benceforth in the regu- lation of ‘the Ben Lomond ‘program. Corbett has some decided views as to the style of training Jeffries should fol- low in preparation for his fight with Johnson. - He says he has thoroughly analyzed Johnson's methods and that it is highly essential for Jeffries to school himself to a form of fighting best adapted to meet the negro’s tactics. “‘And,” he said to the newspaper men last night, “‘it’s fighting and boxing that Jeffries re- quires from now on. “I’m going to warn him that fighting is what he will get from me.

Youngsters of Public and} ' Parochial Schools Receive “2 “Farm” 7 by 15 Feet. te _ MANIFEST ENTHUSIASM Juvenile Tillers Are Anxious to Sow Their Seeds and Watch Developments. Three hundred and fifty “farms” in Forest Park were allotted to boys of the public and parochial schools Satur- day morning. Those who obtained a section of this free land are entitled to the joint produce of the soil and their Own. labor until October 1. Several ‘hundred young ‘“sooners” were on hand before 8 a. m., the hour at which Miss Charlotte M. Rumbold, superintendent of playgrounds, and Park Commissioner Scanlan began the ‘apportionment ot the “farms.” Emthusiasm Didn’t Last. This will be the third annual move- ment of the boys “back to the farm.” The first year that the attempt was made to interest the children in horti- culture only a few availed themselves of the opportunity to grow their own vegetables and flowers, and still fewer continued to eultivate their plots ‘through the heat of the summer. Since that time, culty has been to accommodate all the young farmers who are: each year eager to sow and harvest as a diver- sion from their studies and games. Almost an Acre. The “farms” He back of the green- house in Forest Park. Each is 7x15 feet in area. Almost an acre is thus dedicated to the juvenile horticult- urists. In a season when the cost of living was never so high, a large number of boys are expected to make their gardens a substantial contribution to “the support of their families. Tools with which to cultivate the farms and seeds from which to bring _ crops will be furnished free of char:ye by the city. Each boy will have two hours twice a week for the tilling of his plot. . Vegetables and Flowers. Vegetables and flowers in great variety are grown by these young- ‘gters.

Hatch, a student of Wash- ington University, will be the horti- cultural instructor of Miss Rumbold’s little farmers. Hatch is a “graduate” ‘of the children’s farm, but is now tak- ing @ postgraduate course under Prof. William Trelease. When the farms were originally _ opened, Young Hatch was among the first to undertake the cultivation of a plot. His achievement is a _ tradition ‘among his successors. He had not one failure and was equally expert with _ vegetables and flowers. “One of last year’s farmers—a boy | ethno slived in South St. Louis—kept his mother’s table supplied with fresh, suc- -gulent vegetables all summer.

NEW YORK, May 28.—The Evening Post in its copyrighted weekly review today, says: “‘Whoever has taken the trouble this week to glance through such foreign financial reviews as have come to hand since the spectacular announcement, three weeks ag: of the American bond negotiations at Paris, will probably have been impressed with the fact that the European markets are not at all stirred up about it. The natural ex- pectation of any one who shares in the sudden exhilaration which pervaded Wall Street, on that news, would be for some reflection of the feeling in the foreign discussions. He will not find it; indeed, in most of the English, French, or German reviews he will en- counter no reference whatever to it. Where the Paris negotiations for Amer- lean account are noticed, it is usually as a routine incident of the general in- vestment market, and in ‘connection with the applications for Paris capital by Japan and the various European markets. This attitude doés not signify, that our sales of St. Paul and “Big Four’’ bonds to the French investors is a matter of no importance. It does, however, sug- gest that our own market may have been exaggerating the importance of the role which we are. playing now in inter- national finance. The part now being played is certainly not that of 1901, when New York was lending capital to the English and German governments, and buying up English steamship lines as if they were Steel Trust “subsidiaries: nor that of 1906, when continental bankers frankly declared that our finances could raise in Europe, on finance bills, any amount that they saw fit; nor that of 1907, when we were paying 4 per cent premium in certified New checks to buy $100,000,000 Buropean gold, with exchange at the gold-export point. What may fairly be inferred from finan- cial Europe’s present attitude towards us is that we have sounded, during the past 10 years, the heights and depths of a sensational career in the international credit market, and have now reverted, for the time, at any rate, to the position from which we started for the spec- tacular experiment. Perhaps the most interesting as- pect of this ten year chapter in the world’s financial history has been that which concerns the Paris mar- ket. Paris has been the one un- changing feature, in this turmoil of experimental finance. It has not in- dulged in theories as to new fangled precedent in political economy. Nothing has been heard of moun- tainous fortunes, accumulated over night by French captains of in- dustry. During a good part of tha. period indeed, comment in Wall street on the finance of Paris has been of a condescending, if not pity- ing. nature. But France has some- |how continued to grow richer with each successive year, and now has come the singular anti-climax of Wall street standing deferentially in the ante-room pleading of use of. the wealth aecumulated by these }slow-going and unimaginative for- eigners, and waiting patiently while the lenders discuss v hat terms ought to be exacted under the circum- stances. The conclusion at “which thoughtful observers of the situation will arrive is not that we should hereafter shape our financial methods and direct our financial history on the lines pursued by France, but that a little more of the sobriety and stability of the Paris financiers may be usefully displayed hereafter by the guiding spirits of our own financial markets. It is, indged, not at all impossible that the more friendly disposition, manifest- ed now by financial Paris towards our investment enterprises is due to recog- nition that the American market is in a chastened state of mind, and is apply-. ing itself, not to fiction, but to reality. Paris, as well as the other markets of the world is perfectly aware of the bril- liant future which lies before American finance, if once the foundations for the new forward movement can be laid in conservatism, and common sense. ‘Whether this week's overthrow of the group of aspiring speculators, who have wheat for the world at large, is the end of the episode or not, so far as con- cerns the gentlemen themseives, is per- haps a matter of dispute. When Pat- tan undertook to control the course of events, not only in the market which he understood, but in which he did not, most people had a tather clear expecta- tion that something was likely to hap- pen to him. Something has happened, but it occurred, in the frony of things, on the market of which his knowledge was imagined to be unquestionable. Even the episode in wheat, however, throws some useful light on the general It is the quite invariable teaching of financial history that specu- lators of the Patten sort, who begin by successfully adjusting their opera- tions to the real conditions of a mar- ket, end by imagining themselves to be somehow superior to conditions. succeeded if he had not gone crazy: Leiter would have come out with fiy- ing colors

London Is ‘Strong, but Rise ‘Is Chiefly in English Stocks. pe NEW YORK, May 2%.—The Evening Post in its copyrighted financial review today says: All important stock exchanges in this country were Closed for a holiday today, and will be closed on Monday. European markets were open for business,‘ but nothing of importance occurred on them. London’s stock market, for rea- sons peculiar to itself, was strong, but the rise chiefly affected English rail- way shares. The bank statement, which was pub-| lished as usual today, showed that the bank position must have lost strength towards the end of the week. The sur- plus on the daily average increased $2,400,000; the actual week end showing was a decrease of $1,295,000. On the av- erage return, cash holdings increased $5,100,000; but the actual statement showed them to be practically un- changed. Loans increase substantially; but the excess of loans over deposits is not increased. That excess was $6,100,000 last -Saturday, and $27,500,000 a. month ago; today’s actual statement shows the same excess as last week’s. Even with this week’s reduction, the actual surplus is still above the average for this date in recent years, AMERICAN BONDS FIND DIFFICULTY. N BEING PACED

favorable Market in the French Capital. The New York Evening Post in its special cable says: LONDON, May 28. In connection with this week’s official announcements of your two large bond negotiations at Paris, present indica- tions point to the fact that terms on which further American securities can be placed are becoming more onerous. It is questionable whether much more of ‘this’ financing can be done on a reason- able basis. Our explanation of the sharp break in your exchange market, three weeks ago, followed by the equally sharp re- covery of last week and by the renewed decline this week, is that exchange was first sold prematurely, in anticipation of the immediate closing of the Paris ne- gotiations and of a consequent full sup- ply of drafts, These expectations fail- ing to materfalize, rates were bound to rise. Now, however, as the bond issues are being placed, establishing actual credits for your account in Europe,’ ex- change ‘is weakening again. All this time, however, French exchange on London has been very strong, and on account of your continental credits, it is expected that it will remain so for some time. Irrespective of these Paris negotin- tions, the London feeling seems to be that the trade position in the United States has become somewhat over ex- tended, especially. in the West. and South. There is some uneasiness over your real estate situation, caused large- ly by the unfavorable view expressed by conservative people arriving from your side. But our knowledge regarding this aspect of your situation {s not par- ticularly good. An early reduction in our bank rate does not now, seem improbable; but, in any case, the present firmness in the money market ought to have good effect in averting stringency in the autumn. This week's 5,200,000 pounds sterling increase in the Bank of England’s loans is an indirect effect of the long delay in passing the budget of 1909 and col- lecting the income tax. The treasury balances, owing to these belated col- lections, are now actually at the high- est point ever known. So, far as the money market is concerned, the posi- tion created by this accumulation of funds by the Government is aggravated by the fact that thirty million pounds sterling treasury. bills, issued to bridge the deficit during the hold-up of the budget, are now outstanding, and that nene of them will mature before June 18. The Government has no power to re- deem these treasury bills before the due date. As it has thus far shown no disposition to lend its redundant money in the market, the: Bank of England is the only recourse. Some eight mil- lion pounds sterling more of belated taxes remain to be collected; so that unless public expenditure becomes more important, the market will continue pinched. All things considered, however, the worst of the pressure is probably be- ing felt this week, and the money mar- ket’s position should improve. hereafter. beneficial April boom of 1901, had not an accident happened in Northern Pacific’s market, and how everything had been properly calculated, in the “booms” of 1906 and 1909, except the cantankerous and wholly unwarranted | conduct of the Bank of England.

SHARP SELLING *| Price Is Below Dollar M.ark{ for the First Time on the Crop. f A further drive against May +‘ #heat in Chicago that carried the price b #low the dollar mark to % for the first time on the crop caused selling in all ac tive atte tions to be continued today. St. Louis May wheat was also weak and lower at 97% against 100% ye: p2rday, although the offerings here wert) small. Trading in the local pit was quéet and although some feverishness was: mani- fested at times the market, is. taking on a more normal tone. The Chicago pit condition co atinues the theme of discussion, and the decline in the May option there causes tfhe be- lief that the Waterman deal is also en- tirely closed. Waterman's position, however, is un- known to the trade. He was forced to take large deliveries of May wheat on his contracts, and, while the diversion to Buffalo of 679,000 bu of Armour wheat for Chicago sl ows some settlement of short contracts was made, he has still on hand a kmg line of cash grain which cost a figure well above the present market price. News on the growing crop and market outlook continues to taJce the heart out of the bulls. Ideal weather reports are coming in from all crop sections and the coming Government crop report cn grain should show considerd ble im- provement over the condition of £21 on May l. Duluth reported 18 cars of wheat against 25 last year and 1 two years ago. Winnipeg had 81 against 49 two years ago. Local receipts were 60 cars locaj 10 through last year. Minneapolis wired: “While there has been some talk of the flowr trade improving, the Consolidated Milving Co. closed one mill this week and ex- pect to chose another next week. The demand is not what it should be, con- sidering the lower prices.” Northwestern wires report that ele- vators and receivers all say country de- liveries fare very heavy. Minneapolis says farmers’ deliveries are very heavy. Some stations report they have taken in 40 and 50 wagon loads daily. Since yesterday's close Chicago re- ported about 200,0dw bu No. 1.

“T was sick for 7 years,” writes Mrs. Fannie Ellis, “and half the time could not stand on my feet. At times I was very near death. I took Cardui, and in two months I was cured and am now stout and healthy. I was sick so long that I won the sympathy of my friends and they all ask me what cured me, for my looks are & testimonial to Cardui. I never fail to praise Cardui, for I can’t recommend it too highly. It is a Godsend to suf- fering women.”—Foster, Ark. No matter how serious or long- standing the trouble, Cardui will help you, for it is a tonic remedy, es- pecially adapted to bring relief from womanly ailments. There is a reason why Carduli Is 80 exceptionally successful, after other medicines fail;-and that is be cause. it contains ingredients im- ported especially from Europe, on ac- count of their specific action on the womanly organs.

Clayton Decision Setting’ Aside Document Is Re- versed in St. Louis Court. . BROTHER BRINGS SUIT Henry V. Lucas Objected to Relative’s Money Going Out of the Family. : = A fury in Judge Shields’ division of the Circuit Court has-sustained the will ‘of the late Joseph D. Lucas which a jury in the Clayton Circuit Court set aside last December. The Clayton .Court granted a new trial, after which the case was taken to St. Louis on change of venue. Henry V. Lucas, a brother of Joseph Lucas, protested the will. The testator, who died in 1908, bequeathed his entire estate, worth $400,000, to his wife, Mrs. Frances McLaran Lucas. Not until after the death of the widow in 1907, whose will bequeathed the bulk of the estate left by her husband to her mother, Mrs. Annie McLaran, and sis- ter, Mrs. Alice McLaran Hazzard, did Henry Lucas institute the will contest. He was the only plaintiff in the case but it‘is said he had the sympathy of many of the testator’s blood relatives, some of whom were named as defend- jants. Charges Against Mrs. Lucas. According to Attorney Robert E. Col- lins, who represented the plaintiff, the Lucas heirs had no objection to the estate going to Joseph Lucas’ widow, but they believed. the bulk of it should have reverted to them instead of her kin at her death. It was alleged that at the time Mr. Lucas made his will, New Year's Eve, 1901, he was not in condition to execute such a document, being under the influ- ence of drink. According to: the petition, Mr. Lucas’ wife influenced him to make the will in her favor, inducing him, it was averred, to indulge in liquor so that such influence could be exercised. This was denied by the mother and sister of Mrs. Lucas. The only member of the Lucas family who went on the stand in behalf of the plaintiff was Mrs. Cora Lucas, wife of Attorney John Lucas, who testified that she heard Mrs. Victoria Des Riusseaux say that she would do all she could to help sustain Joseph Lucas’ will. Mrs. Des Riusseaux, who was a second cous- in of the testator, was an important witness for the defénse. Memphis Witness Testifies, While on the stand Mrs. Lucas sali she thought it was strange the second cousin had turned against the Lucas family, as she had received many fa- vors at its hands, and that, “right or wrong, blood should be thicker than water.” Another witness for the defense was Mrs. Lavina F. Seldon of Memphis, whe under the will of Mrs. Lucas, re- ceives $50 a month as long as she lives. Mrs. Seldon was a witness to the will of Mr. Lucas. She denied that he was under the influence of liquor and de- clared he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Selden said she called. Lucas’ at- tention to the fact that he had mis- spelled the first name of his wife and that she made the correction at his di- rection. She also wrote in the date of the testator’s direction, she said. Attorney Praises Lucas Couple. Attorney Benjamin Schnurmacher and fcrmer Judge Franklin Ferriss were as- sociated in the d@fense of the will. Row- land L. Johnston and John Lucas, a nephew of the plaintiff, were associated with Attorney Collins. In addressing the jury Judge Ferriss arraigned the plaintiff's side for mak- ing; charges against dead people. Then he paid a tribute to both Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, who, the evidence showed, had been divorced from each other and were remarried. “They .were separated by divorce, again united by marriage and again sep- arated and united by death,” the attor- ney said.

Boox ZR, COST OF EACH COURSE IS TOLD AT 15-CENTS-A-PLATE BANQUET IN-INDIANA TOWN ‘Spread’”’ at Old Soldiers Home Was in Honor of Former Secretary of State. WASHINGTON, -May- 28.—First-class banquets at 10 cents a plate, figured in the discussion of national! soldiers’ homes in the House yesterday. “In~ Valparaiso, Ind., where I live,”’ said Mr. Crumpacker, “I was invited to a banquet two years ago, where the price was 10 cents a plate, and it was a first-class banquet, too.’’ “Did that include wine?’’ Olcott of New York. “It did. not,” replied Mr. Crumpacker. “It was a four-course banquet and 10 cents a: plate covered the cost of every- thing. Four hundred were present. Five weeks ago the same institution gave a banquet at 15 cents a plate’’-—— ‘‘Was the increase of price caused by the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill?’ asked Mr. Olcott. “at was caused by the standard of the banquet, because it was given in honor of former Secretary of State John W. Foster. The manager of the institution gave a detailed statement after each course, showing how the material was bought, cost of purchase, preparation and service, the overhead and underfoot charges, nothing being said about doc- tors’ charges following.”
