THOUSANDS OUT TO Ste PAROCHIAL ATHLETIC MEET Nearly 600 Entries for Events at Christian Broth- ers’ College Campus.

MAYOR GIVES _ PRIZE

Archbishop Glennon to At- tend—School Teams in Good Form.

Society was well represented Sat- urday at ehe athletic events on the Christian Brothers’ College campus. Next to-Mayor Kreismann and Arch- bishop J. J, Glennon, who were the center of attraction, the women shared with the youthful athletes the greatest attentions of the day. It was the Sixth Annual Field Day of the Parochial School Athletic League that brought out the throng of thou- sands, including the social leaders of the city and, as an added feature, the academic field day of the college was run simultaneously. The society matrons and misses had charge of refreshment booths, where sandwiches, candy, lemonade and other light beverages were served. A section of the specially enlarged grandstand, which was added to accommodate the large attendance, was set aside for their special use. The patronesses who served- the refreshments were: Mes- dames M. Stauf, M. Gorman, Wm. Rat- ican, E. Whelan; Misses C. Held, M. Tierney, M. Truitt, B. Wrape, A. J. Manning, M. Warren, H. Yore, F. Dierkes, L. Sullivan, G. Byrne, TT. Sullivan, W. Radway, M. Murphy, Q. Murphy, M. Devoy, Ella Readey, A. Devoy, M. Edge, K. Keily, M. Keily, E. Moll, M. Moll, M. Whelan, M. Shar- low, L. Schweinher, M. Saettle, N. Saettle, A. Ratican, M. Walsh, M. Ho- gan, P. Hogan, G. Fitzgerald and K. Fitzgerald. 30 Contests Scheduled. While the 576. young aspirants for honors in things athletic cavorted about the field clad in their light running pants and shirts, with elaborate sym- bols in many colors adorning their chests and the cloth numbers flapping on their backs in the light wind that blew across the field, society made mer- ry over the spectable and rejoiced in the weather that favored the occasion. The events had been postponed from & week ago on account of weather. In the thirty contests which were scheduled, 25 schools which form the league were all represented by a sturdy bunch of youngsters and the large entry list made the affair one of the biggest schoolboy events ever held in the Mid- dle West. As early as 9 a. m. the games began, and the youngsters kept up a steady succession of events all day, keen competition developing throughout the the program. Mayor Kreismann had donated a spe- cial prize for the youngsters to strive for and a special box was reserved for him and other city notables, as well as one for Archbishop Glennon and his party. The preliminaries were set for the ‘morning, starting at.9 a. m., and the finals for the afternoon, starting at 1:30. The following schools are entered in the meet: All Saints, Holy Names, Holy Rosary, Holy Trinity, Immaculate Con- ception, Notre Dame, Sacred Heart, St. Alphonsus’, St. Bridget’s, St. Columb- kille’s, St. Edwards’, St. Francis de Sales’, St. James’, St. John’s, St. Leo’s, St. Lawrence, St. Malachy’s, St. Mark's, St. Mathew’s, St. Michael's, St. Patrick's, St. Rose’s, St. Vincent's, St. Wenceslaus’ and Visitation.

REGEIVERSHIPS 10 DELAY MERGER UF INSURANCE FIRMS Continental and Internation- al Planned to Consolidate ~ With National Life.

Motions were filed Saturday in Judge Withrow’s and Judge McQuillin’s di- visions of the Circuit Court by Judge Selden P. Spencer in behalf of the Con- tinental Fire Assurance Co. of America and the Intgrnational Fire Assurance Co., asking that the receivers appointed Friday afternoon for the two companies, Judge Matt G. Reynolds and G. Lacy Crawford, be dismissed and that there be an immediate hearing on the appli- cation for the receiverships. Judge Reynolds is out of town and has not filed his bond. Crawford has filed a bond of $60,000 and John S. Leahy, attorney for the petitioners, says he will at once take charge of the Internation- al company. The reasons given by Judge Spencer in his motion are that the companies are solvent; that the applications were made without notice to the defendants; ‘that the plaintiffs, with the exception of Thomas Miller, participated in a meet- ing June 9, at which the condition of the company was reviewed and ap- proved. that some of the plaintiffs are in default in not having fully paid for their stock; that the judges erred in ap- pointing receivers; that the. plaintiffs represent (only 8 per cent of the sub- scribers for stock in the companies, and that the judges were led into error in appointing the receivers without notice having been given to the companies, working damage to the companies by publicity. The receivership proceedings were filed in behalf of Walter J. Miller of Lamar, Mo., president of the two companies; Dr. Thomas F. Miller, medical director of the Life company; C. H. Jones, cash- ler of the Linn County Bank, Brookfield, Mo.; C. G. Lang of Kahoka. Mo.; Jo- seph F. Fenwick of Perryville, Mo., and Cc. C. Evans of Sedalia, Mo. All are stockholders in the two companies. Charges Against Gardner. The defendants are Harry B. Gardner, president of the new company; William H. Thompson, treasurer of the twin or- ganizations, and Grant Gillespie, counsel for both companies. The Aissatisfied stockholders allege in their petitions for receivers that Gard- ner, who controle the funds of the co.n- panies, violated his agreement t> deposit the money in St. Louis banks by de- positing $400,40 of the companies’ funds in banks in Alabama. The further al- Jegation is made that Gardner appropri- ated $53,000 to his own use. Comapiracy Is Charged. The six stockholders also allege that Gardner, Gillespie, and Thompson have entered into a conspiracy to keep con- trel of the company’s assets, and that the offices of the company in the Syn- dicate Trust building are unnecessarily luxurious and expensive. Judges Withrow and McQuillin ap- pointed the temporary receivers asked for and issued injunctions restraining the defendants from disposing of the company funds under their control. A hearing on the injunction issued by Judge Withrow will be had June 21. In an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter Gardner said that it is true that he deposited $400,000 of the com- panies’ funds in Alabama banks, and that the reason was that the stock was scld in that state. Regarding the ap- propriation of $53,000 to his own use, Gardner said that the companies owed him $157,000, of which $101,000 is in notes not yet due, and the balance in cash.

ter be threshed out in regular form. Gardner became president of the St, Louts National Life on June 10. “This whole mix-up is nothing but a family row and will be straightened out in due time,’’ Palette said. | ‘‘It is a re- sult of jealousy. When Gardner and his associates bought the control] of the St. Louis National Life, it became ap- parent that this company was to take over the Continental Life Assurance Co. As a result, some in the Continental Assurance Ce. became dissatisfied and instituted the receivership suits.’’ Harry B. Gardner, through his attor- ney, Judge Selden P. Spéncer, made a formal statement in relation to the suit Saturday, in which he says that Presi- dent Walter J. Miller attempted to bor- row from the company and was re- fused. “All this proceeding,’’ the statement continues, “‘was the attempt of Miller to obtain control of the companies. Be- cause the treasurer and general counsel cordially co-operated with me in the at- tempt to safeguard the money of the company, they have been joined with me as defendants to the suit.”’ . Gardner asserts that the only large salaries paid by the companies are $500 a month to the president and $250 a month to his son, as medical director. Gardner says that although entitled to $500 a month salary he has steadfastly refused to draw a cent of it, taking only his commissiens on the sale of stock, which he was entitled to as fiscal agent. JURY FINDS FOR THE ADOPTED DAUGHTER OF JUSTICE BURDEN Verdict Paves Way for Contest for Portion of His $90,000 Estate. A jury in Judge Muench’s division of the Circult Court decided that Mrs. Mary Sommers of 4325 North Four- teenth street is the legally adopted daughter of former Justice of the Peace William Burden of this city. Burden, who died in June, 1908, leav- ing a fortune estimated at $90,000, left Mrs. Sommers $500. The remainder was bequeathed te four grandchildren. They are: Louise Burden, William A. Burden. William Fwote Burden and Mrs. Julia Felton, all of 5065 Vernon avenue. Mrs. Sommers, who wishes to contest the will, had to first establish the fact that she was the adopted daughter of Burden. This was done through the verdict Saturday. A suit to break the will is to be tried later. Mrs. Sommers testified that she was not aware that she was an adopted child until she war 18 years old. DENEEN ORDERS INVESTIGATION © OF SOLDIERS WIDOWS’ HOME €pecial to the Post-Dispatch. BLOOMINGTON, Ul, June i1L— Charges that the inmates of the Sol- diers’ Home for Widows, at Wilming- ton, are neglected, one death being at- tributed to alleged lack of care, have been filed with the State Board of Ad- ministration and an investigation has been ordered by Gov. Deneen. It is charged that Mrs. Jackson, who died April 24, was neglected for three days, without food, and that Mrs. Hipple, an invalid, unable to leave her room, was also unprovided with food. fwo clergymen ef Wilmington, the Rev. J. E. Welch and the Rev. J. L. Dixon, were informed of the alleged in- attention. The latter called upon Gov. Deneen. Supt. J. L.

voted additional money for the bridge. Meantime, Mayor Kreismann urged, the bridge should be completed for ve- hicular traffic, although both he and members of the Assembly conceded that its chief purpose was to give railroads a free entrance to the city. Delegates Turn Down Bill. When members of the United Free Bridge Committee introduced in the House of Delegates and the Council bills for the acquisition of land for the east railroad approach the measures were not even permitted to go to a vote. At the same time the Assembly, with the concurrence of Mayor Kreismann and against the opposition of the ‘ad- vocates of the Free Bridge, passed a bill that attempted to commit the city to use all its funds in the construction of a wagon approach, and leave noth- ing for the site or building of the rail- road approaches. Taking the cue from President Reber, some councilmen who have heretofore shared the Mayor’s hostility to an im- mediate purchase or condemnation of land on the East Side, are now declar- ing that a site must be obtained at once. They are ready also to vote against Mayor Kreismann’s bill author- izing the submission next November of an additional bond issue. Against Bond Issuc Now. Councilman _ Schneiderhahn told a Post-Dispatch’ reporter Saturday that such a proposition would be “‘absurd.”’ “We can’t ask the people to give us more money when we can’t tell how much we need,” said Mr. Schneider- hahn. “The only way to determine what amount we shall require to build the railroad approaches is to buy the land. The difference between what we have left and what the approaches will cost is the sum we'll have to get through another bond issue. “Negotiations that are now in prog- ress give us the hope that we won't have to issue many more bonds. For that reason I am opposed to the bill now in the House of Delegates and I know there are enough councilmen of my opinion to kill it.” Councilman Schneiderhahn is one of those who have been suddenly convert- ed to the belief that all the money now on hand ought to be used before the people are asked to give the city ad- ministration $2,500,000 more. He former- ly held that the railroads and not the city should bufld the approaches. Apparently, no converts were made in the House of Delegates, and at Friday night’s meeting the bill fixing Nov. 11 as the day of a special election to ac- cept or reject the Mayor’s proposal for additional bonds was adopted by a unanimous vote. BOND, MARSHALL & BOND DISSOLVE, TO FORM NEW FIRM Judge Bond Will Take His Son, Thomas, as a Partner in Reorganization.

One morning at 2 o’clock, so it is said male companion, hid in a big wardrobe, whence she was dragged into the street by the man who came back to seek her. Later, they hired the Villa Legnazai, above Maltrasio, where, it is supposed, the first phase of the crime was perpe- trated. Villagers had seen nothing mysterious about the couple until Mrs. Porter was noticed to quit the villa, carrying a leather valise. Trank Made tn America. The trunk in which the body .was found was an American, of rectangular pattern, and was weighted with a heavy stone. It was of very smal! dimensions, Was secured by three strong locks and doubly bound with rope. When opened in the presence of the Mayor and local police there was disclosed the doubled- up body clad from head to foot in black vesture, wrapped over with a white sheet. The initials “G. L.” were on the trunk, which also contained a couple of prayer books and much correspondence in English, various photographs and ar- ticles of clothing. Among the woman's belongings se- questered by the police at Villa Legnazzi was a great quantity of theatrical plays in manuscript, parts acted by Mrs. Cas- tle and collections of photos portraying her in various roles. There were many letters from 382 Porter building, San Jose, Cal., addressed to Miss Christina Scott. There were also photographs showing a youth in a group of Univer- sity of Pennsylvania students with med- als and other souvenirs proving his membership in the University Athletic Club of St. Luke’s School and several other high-class American colleges. Documents and articles said to be of an incriminating nature were thrown into the trunk with the victim, whose face and limbs bore signs of a terrible death struggle after she had been sunk in the waters of the lake. Claimed Charlton as Husband After Return to New Y ork By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 11.—Mrs. Castle was the woman who shot William B. Craig, a lawyer of No. 211 West Ninety- fourth street, in ‘‘Peacock Alley,’’ at the Waldorf Astoria, Aug. 3. After the grand jury failed to indict her, she left New York in September, but returned April 10 and went to the Hotel Woodward. There, she said, sne had married Por- ter Charlton, the son of Judge Paul Charlton, of the Bureau of Insular Af- fairs. The ceremony, she asserted, took place in Philadelphia, March 12. Charl- ton was seen at the hotel and he de- clared that his wife was not: Mrs. Neville H. Castle nor Mary Crittenden Scott Castle. “Tl married Miss Mary Scott, of Coun- cil Bluffs, Io.,’’ he said. “My wife nev- er knew Mrs. Mary Scott Castle.’’ Mrs. Castle then said she was going abroad, to be gone three months. She was the daughter of the late H. H. Scott, and her brother, Lieut. Harry Scott, now of the coast artillery, mar- ried a daughter of the late Admiral William T. Sampson. She also was a niece of Mrs.’Monroe Salisbury, a lead- er of society on the Pacific Coast. As Mary Scott, she was one of the best known society girls in California. She Went on the Stage. In 1907 she married Neville H. Castle, who was graduated from Yale in 1884. He had practiced law in this city and then gone to San Francisco. There he lost his fortune and went to the Klon- dike. His wife went on the stage. Resuming her maiden name of Mary Scott, she gave society a shock when she joined a company at the California Theater in San Francisco on Jan. 9, 1900. But the coast ‘400’’ recovered and turned out to see her. Soon after she came to this city and appeared at Proc- tor’s in a vaudeville sketch called ‘In Washington’s Time.”’ While playing here in March, 1901, she mysteriously disappeared, and _. her friends sent out a general alarm for her. They feared she had committed suicide. She finally returned and little was heard of her until the shooting of Craig at the Waldorf. Then it became known ‘that she had been living in a handsome‘ apartment at the Colenial Studio, 39 West Sixty-seventh street. After she shot at Craig, who wrenched the revolver from her hand as she turned it toward her own heart, she declared Mrs. Craig had asked her to watch over the lawyer, and while do- ing so she learned to care for him her- self. She said she never meant to kill him, but when she met him in the hotel and asked him to apologize for things he had said about her he replied that “he wished she and he were dead.”” Then she pulled the pistol. Craig was saved from injury by a fountain pen which turned away the bullet. When she was arraigned in New York for the shooting, Mrs. Castle testified that Craig came to her apartments night after night and told her that she was making a man of him. She denied, however, that there was any impropriety between herself and raig. Monday night before the shooting in “Peacock Alley,” she _ testified, he came to her apartments and when she repulsed him, he used strong lan- guage that would have provoked one man to kill another. Craig at first showed a disposition to press the charge of felonious assault made against her, but later reconsidered. He finally declared he believed she was not mentally responsible, and said he was willing that she be given her Hb- erty if placed in the custody of a re- sponsible person. Her brother, Lieut. Scott, came here to look after her interests, and the grand jury refused to indict her after Craig had been befere them.

WASHINGTON, June 11.—That one of her former admirers may have been at the bottom of the mystery involving the finding of a trunk containing the body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Chariton tn Lake Como. Italy, is sus- pected by Paul Charlton, father-in-law of the unfortunate woman. Judge Chariton. asked Secretary Knox to have the State Departmen‘. through its representatives in Italy, make an investigation into the Lake Como mystery and also to try to learn the whereabouts of his son. The de- partment has taken the matter up with the American Embassy by cable. Mr. Charlton, who is a law clerk of the Bureau of Insular Affairs in the War Department, returned late last aight from Atlantic City. Speaking of the tragedy, he said: “From the few details available, I be- lieve that Porter, my son, is dead also. From the cheerful tone of his letter, I am inclined to believe that someon., possibly one of her former admirers who followed them to Italy, is at the bottom of the tragedy. “My son is about 20 years old, and for some time had been suffering from tuberculosis. He left Washington in De- cember, 1908, and went to New York, where he obtained employment in the foreign department of the National City Bank. Early in 1910 he met Mrs. Mary Scott Castle, the divorced wife of Neville Castle, an attorney of San Francisco. She was about 40 years old. “I knew nothing of her antecedents yesterday, tended to marry her until after he had done so. They were married in Wil- mington, Del., March 12, and several days later sailed from New York for Genoa. “Only last Monday I received a letter from him telling me of his plans. His letter was full of endearing references to his wife.’’ Mrs. Castle Wedded 3 Young Charlton in Wilmington, Del. WILMINGTON, Del., June 11.—Mra. Mary Scott Castile Charlton, whose body was. found in a trunk in a-‘lake in Italy, was married in Wilmington March 12 of this year to Porter Charlton, . the marriage ceremony being performed at Old Swedes Church by the vicar, the Rev. Albert A. Clay. So far as is known the couple were here merely long enough to be married. Why they came here is not ascertain- able, as Mr. Clay is now in Seattle, Wash., having gone there to take tem- porary charge of a church during the summer, According to the marriage certificate, which is on file at the health office, the names of the contracting parties were given as Porter Chariton, aged 25 years old, and Mary Castle, % years old, and both gave New York City as their residence. The bride said she was born in Nevada and Charlton gave Ne- braska as his birthplace. Chariton declared himself a bachelor and Miss Castle a spinster. Chariton gave his parents as Paul Charlton and Elizabeth Patten Denniston Chariton and Mrs. Charlton gave her parents as Henry Harrison Scott and Annie Wyatt Robinson Scott. SPEED ON CURVE CAUSE OF WRECK, CORONER'S VERDICT

Engineer of Iron Train, One of Three Killed, Is Not Censured. The Iron Mountain train which was derailed Wednesday at Tesson_ street and Ivory avenue, costing three lives, was “being run around a cure at a reck- less and dangerous rate of speed,”’ ac- cording to the Coroner's verdict, re- turned Saturday. Deputy Coroner Fath, after taking some testimony Friday, continued the inquest to summon other witnesses, but he found that none of the injured would be able to appear for several days at least, and decided he had enough evi- dence to form the basis for a verdict. The verdict does not offer censure of Walter A. Douglas, engineer of the train, further than to say that it was he who was running it. Douglas was one of those who were killed. The others were Jasper Lasater, a mail clerk, and Kobert P. Sheppard, a fireman. The testimony Friday of Thomas R. Williams, conductor of the train, showed that Douglas had orders to run run more than 2 miles an hour at that point, but that he went round the curve at such speed that Williams was terri- fied, and tried to check the train with the airbrakes, just before it leaped clear of the tracks. ST, CHARLES MAN IS ARRESTED IN MILWAUKEE It is reported in St. Charles that Rop- ert H.
