' Excise Commissioner Caulfield was out of the city Tuesday, but his chief deputy and other officers declared that the “rumor” of the winerooms’ return was evidently erroneous. While &@ Post-Dispatch reporter was in his of- fice the Deputy Excise Commissioner summoned Special Officer Harrison. } Harrison; the deputy said, would know f. if any man in town did whether any gyinerooms had resumed operations. ‘“There’s not a wineroom in St Louis,” said Harrison emphatically. When asked what was understood at the Excise Commissioner's office by the term “‘wineroom,” the deputies said that it was any room or apartment con- nected with a barroom where the prin- cipal article of sale was liquor and not food. In strange contradiction to the “im- pression” which prevails in the Excise Commissioner's office was the scene at Henry Heet'’s “Deutsche Gasthaus” at Beventeenth and Market streets. There was absolutely no concealment there of the fact that the wineroom was wide open. Sign Shows the Placc. Heet’s wineroom is on Seventeenth street directly in the rear of the bar which faces Market street. A lighted sign, displaying the word ‘Ladies’ En- trance.” blazes onto Seventeenth street. The sign is directly over the door lead- ing into the wineroom. This door was open Monday night and the end of the long table with the old red tablecloth could be easily observed merely by looking around the corner of the door. It was a strange, queer-looking crowd that was gathered around the long table. The crowd itself as well as the wine- room, seémed to have come back from “the good old days.” Young girls with- out escorts entered and, taking their places at the table, ordered drinks. None was refused. Crowd Extremely Quiet. The crowd, however, was extremely quict for a time and this fact seemed to bore some of the visitors, especially one woman in a crowd of four who would not yield to her companion’s solicitations to “‘go some other place.” “Hey, mister,” this woman called to the waiter, “‘isa’t there a piano in this . place?’ The waiter informed her that there Was a music box just outside the door which played regularly for a nickel a play.

peared DRUNKENNESS, REDUCED IN RANK $600 LOW FOR WOMAN'S DRESS Manhaggs of the costume departments of ‘big St. Louis shops agree with Mrs. Sheviin that $600 a year is a small allowance for dress, if a woman has a social position to maintain. “Tf she had a trip to make, the cost of her wardrobe would exceed $600, even with economy,’’ said Mrs. Aimee Nacke. ‘Indeed, I do not see how she could dress comfortably on that sum, even if she were a stay-at-home. A business woman, neatly, but not overdressed, with a few modest evening and dinner gowns, might be @ble to get along on that, but a woman of position couldn’t, unless she made some of her own gowns and designed nearly all of them.

She would be forced to buy inexpensive garments, and to be exceedingly care- ful about her expenditures. With rigid economy she might manage to get along.”’ Another costumer said that even for a woman in moderate circumstances to spend $600 a year on clothes would not be unusual. “It would be no exaggeration to say that many women whose husbands are on moderate salaries spend that much,”

Is Victim With Fireman at Annapolis, Mo.

Two men are reported to have been killed, 10 mail clerks and half a dozen trainmen hurt, in the wreck of the Iron Mountain fast mail, which left St. Louis at 2:30 a. m. Tuesday. It jumped the track at Annapolis, Mo., while rounding a curve at a speed said to be nearly 60 miles an hour. William Wonder, engineer of the train, and the fireman are said to be dead. Conductor Williams is sald to have suffered a broken wrist. The names of the others injured could noi be obtained. Wonder has a record for taking the fast mail through on schedule time, even in-the face of obstacles, and holds the record for the run from St. Louls to Poplar Bluff, which he made three months ago in 2 hours and 59 minutes. The trip usually requires more than four hours. Wonder's high speed was due to a delay soon after he left St. Louis. The wreck is the fourth within two years of the fast mail. Two of the prev- ious wrecks were in St. Louis, one of them being at the Ivory avenue cross- ing. A train carrying the men injured in the wreck left the scene, due to reach Union Station at 2:30 p. m. At the Annex Postoffice, Union Sta- tion, reports were received at+- noon stating that all the 10 mail clerks on the train were injured. The injuries of individuals were not detailed. The clerks on the train, all of whom live in or near St. Louis, were B. D. Lydick, BE. M. Reilly, R. B. Burrell, F. A. Car- ter, William: B. Landes, A. L. Barton, Van Rhinehart, P. W. Hill, C. S.

Prove His Inno- cence,

John Burton, son of Acting Mayor George Burton of Alton, who is in the County Jail at Edwardsville facing. re- sponsibility for the death of Leo Wentz and Louis Weibrecht of Marine, two men he admits choking to death with his bare hands, was not discouraged Tuesday morning at learning the result of the inquest Monday night. The coro- ner’s jury held him for murder without bail to await the action of the Circuit Court grand jury which assembles Oct. 17. In the jail at Edwardsville Tuesday Burton gave out the first interview since the tragedy of Saturday night. “I am not worried by the jury’s ver- dict,” he said. “It is all right. I am confident of proving my innocence when the case comes up. What I did was in self-defense and I can easily show this. “I dq not care to discuss the details of the affair, all of which I have ex- plained fully to my lawyer, but I will say, that if it had taken place in the light, the men would be alive today. We could not see what we were doing, as the place was in black darkness, and I did not know that I had killed the men un- til I obtained assistance. “Two years ago I gave up wrestling at my mother’s request, because she was afraid that I might hurt some one or be hurt myself in the rough game.” FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE’S WILL PREVENTS BURIAL IN ABBEY Executors Say They Will Obey Injunction to Make Interment Simple and Private.

The resolution to make Col. Roosevelt ternporary chairman was then lost by a vote of 20 to 15, following Vice-President Sherman was unanimously chose, Mr. Grisco and Henry Mack of New York not voting. Among the delegates voting for Roose- velt were: Lloyd C. Griscom, . United States Marshal William Henkel, Apprais- er of Customs George Wanmaker, Sec- retary of State Samuel S. Koonig, Naval Officer F. J. H. Kracke, Representative William 8. Bennet and Collector of In- ternal Revenue Charles W. Anderson. Opposed to Mr. Roosevelt were, among others: Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Tim- othy L. Woodruff, Michael J. Dady, former Congressman William L. Ward, Luther B. Little, William Barnes Jr. of Albany, former State Commissioner of Public Workers George W. Aldridge, James W. Wadsworth Jr., speaker of the House of Representatives, and Fran- cis Hendricks, former State Commission- er of Insurance. Col. Roosevelt came “wn from Oyster Bay today and’ met a few visitors at his office. He then went out. The newspaper men waiting to see him to talk with him regarding the action of the Republican State Committee were unable to find him. Commenting on the action of the com- mittee in rejecting Roosevelt, Mr. Gris- com sald: “I presented the name of former President Roosevelt after con- sulting with him. The place of the tem- porary chairman was obviously his, not only by virtue of his having been Prest- dent of the United States, but by the signal services rendered by him to the Republican party in New York State.
