By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 3-—That Swami Abhedananda, local head of the Vedanta cult, is not the reincarnated divinity he has assured his converts here, but is a mere frail human man with all man’s failings, is the reason given by Mrs. William Jean -Beauley of 369 West End avenue, and once a student at the con- vent of the Sacred Heart at St. Louls, for the many defections from the Ve- Janta ranks during the last six months. Mrs. Beauley is at her home recover- ing from a serious illness that resulted, she says, from her discovery of the per- fidy of the Swami. Abhedananda— which in Sanskrit means “Bliss in anion’’—ie teaching other followers at the Vedanta Ashrama,—or “Peace Re- treat,”” at West Cornwall, Conn. Expert Has Nine Letters. Mrs. Beauley’s own story reveals many interesting experiences she had with the Swami In the last three years. She had intended to take legal action against the leader, but changed her mind on advice of friends. However, in the hands of David N. Carvalho, the handwriting expert, are nine letters al- leged | to have been sent to Mr. Beauley in an effort to discredit his wife. To none of them did he pay attention other than to show them to her. Mr. Car- ¥vatho’s report to the Beauleys indicates that he believes the society woman’s atory and places no credit in the anony- mous letters. Was a Nervous Wreck, “T first met the Swami in January of 1907,”" she went on. “It was when I was @ nervous wreck following the death of my mother and the reading of a lot of Vedanta literature. I went to the Ve- Santa Society house and met the Swami. Te talked beautifully and I grew more interested. I became a convert to the faith of the cult. They helped me men- ‘ally and physically. I became stronger ‘n the faith. _The Swami was most kind and my haba and I invited him to dinner at our*apartments in the Marie Antoinette. After many refusals he came. fle charmed my husband as he did my- self. “At dinner the Swami said he was going to London and Paris for some months. My husband suggested that I take the ocean trip on the Adriatic with him, so I could get the benefit of 10 days of uninterrupted talk. “When we reached London I was a firm believer ang in love with the Swami, both as a priest and as a man. My husband had confidence in me and in the Swami. At no time, jespite evil reports, did he disbelieve in me or the priest. “Perhaps it was indiscreet when I rented an apartment in Clarence 3Jate Gardens, London, of eight rooms ang took the Swami into my home. All the followers of Vedanta in Lon- don gathered with us and we spread the truth. I observed the conven- tions of society by having with me at all times a companion, sometimes paying as much as $10 a week to her. “A certain woman—a ‘Chinese Blonde,’ por fat for her height, ignorant and not even prepossessing in appearance—cap- tivated the Swam! when we returned te this city. “I begged the Swami in his library at 18 West Eightieth street not to take up with the woman. He was kind to -me, but kept up the friendship with her. He even had her join the soclety, made - +her chief of correspondence, and then _@xaited her to the woman management ‘of the rooms.

LADYS KERENS 15 GEORGE Hi. COLKET'S

St. Louis Girl Is Married in Village Church Near Sister’s Home.

Miss Gladys Kerens, daughter of Col. Richard C. Kerens, American Ambas- sador to Austria, and Mrs. Kerens, was married Saturday at noon to George riamilton Colket of Philadelphia, son of the late George Hamilton Colket, in the Church of St. John the Evan- gelist, at Herons Ghyl, in Sussex, Hn- gland. Lhe marriage was solemnized at nup- tial mass, the Rev. Father Bert offi- ciating, and after the ceremony the guests, who included only the imme- diate family and a few intimate friends, motored to The Rocks, Boar’s Head, Sussex, the country home of Ambas- sador and Mrs. Kerens’ daughter, Mrs. Edward Dudley Kenna, where a wed- ding breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Colket will spend their honeymoon traveling on the Continent, going first to Holland, and will later make their home in Philadephia. Mrs.\ Colket, as Miss Gladys Kerens, made her debut in Washington, D. C., four years ago, and while much of her time has been spent out of St. Louis, she was a leader in the most exclusive sets here. She was educated here, at the Visi- tation Convent, and abroad, and is known as a brilliant conversationalist, quick at repartee and with keen wit. She is an Irish type, with brown hair and gray eyes. She is slender, of medium height and has a very graceful figure. Maid of Veiled Prophet Queen, She was one of the maids of honor to the Queen at the Veiled Prophet's ball last October and wore a wonderful gown of cloth of gold with the air of a princess. She has been presented at two courts, the English and Italian, and wiil prob- ably be presented this autumn at the court of ‘Austria. The announcement of the marriage was a surprise to Mrs. Colket’s friends in St. Louis, as they did not know the day had been set or any definite plans made, and had hoped that the nuptials would be celebrated at the Kerens mansion in Vandeventer place, . which has been the scene of a great many brilliant social affairs. Mr. Colkét was graduated at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and is a scion of one of the oldest and most influ- ential families in the Philadelphia suburb, Bryn Mawr. Mr. Coiket was one of the guests at a house party given last summer at the Kerens country place, at El- kins, W. Va, and has also been their guest here several times.

Distance Is Traveled in 65 Minutes Amid Wildest Enthusiasm. BERLIN, Sept. 3.—All Germany is re- joicing today over the feat of Count Zeppelin, who flew from Baden-Raden to Heidelberg, 53 miles, in 65 minutes, car- rying a crew of seven and 12 passengers. in his dirigible balloon, Zeppelin IV. The average speed was 49 miles an hour, which is accounted the record for dirigible balloons. All along the route the mammoth air craft and its inventor were cheered, for the German people, as well as the Count himself, believe that his type of balloon was vin- dicated by this flight, after the crush- ing disaster of June 29. The balloon is about 450 feet long. Tens of thousands of people witnessed the flight from various towns, on farms and by the roadside, and in a figurative sense the eyes of the whole German Empire were on the aged inventor and his wonderful machine. The scenes at Heidelberg, where the demonstration was led by the students at the great university, Were ‘unparalleled for en- thusiasm. All things considered, today’s flight is regarded generally as more successful) than the Count’s first big flight, March 21, 1909, when he flew 150 miles in four hours with 26 persons ahoard. CURTISS EARNED $175,000 IN YEAR *‘High Ftyer’’ Tells His Friends Aeroplaning Is Frofitabie. CLEVELAND, 0O., Sept. 3.—Glenn Curtiss, the aviator who gained re- nown first by his long flight down the Hudson River for a prize of $10,- 000, gave an inkling to friend’ while here making flights of how profitable is the profession of aeroplaning. Curtiss has cleaned up $175,000 dur- ing the past year in prizes and through the sale of his aeroplanes. About $100,000 of this amount was ob- tained, Curtiss said, during flights made in France and Italy. He made $50,000 while here, the trip itself cost- ing him only $2.16 for gasoline. Curtiss was a manufacturer of gas engines at Hammondsport, N. Y., be- fore beginning aeroplaning. His ma- chines sell for $7500 each. ENGLISH AVIATOR FLIES SIX MILES

The action is a suit in equity and includes among the defendants Sam- uel Gompers, president; John Mitch- ell, vice-president; Frank Morrison, secretary, and other officers of the and about fifty others prominently iden- in America. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is ex- pected to arrive in St. Louis Tues- day morning for a conference with labor officials and officers of the Bucks Stove & Range Co. It is ex- pected the suit will be discussed at that time, and that plans will be made to defend it. President Gom- pers will speak at the Labor day celebration tn Kansas City Monday. The conference in St. Louis Tues- day was expected to settle definitely the differences between the company end the American Federation and that the Buck’s plant would become a closed shop in accordance with an agreement already reached.

A claim for damages in the sum of $750,000, alleged to have heen suffered is set up under the Sherman act, making the case identical in many respects with the famous Danbury hat suit, in which the hatters recovered $224,000, as the result of a boycott by the labor unions.

It is further alleged that it is proposed by the defendant company’s present di- rectorate to violate a contract with the American Anti-Boycott Association, | which is prosecuting the cases against Gompers and his associates, now pend- ing in the Supreme Court.

Writes on “Is Di- yorce a Blessing?” \ HIS ANSWER He Approves Limited Remar- riage, but Would Prevent . Hasty Weddings. The Rev. Karl Hewson, pastor of the Reber Place Congregational Church, who unsuccessfully sought a divorce in the Ciayton Circuit Court last spring, 4s the author of an article entitled “is Divorce a Blessing?’ which appeared in this week's issue of the Congregation- alist and Christian World, published in Boston and received Saturday by St Louis subscribers. : Pastor Hewson, in the article, prac- tically answers his question in the af- firmative, asserting that divorce is in many’ cases a necessity. He proposes, ae a remedy for preserit conditions, that the marriage laws, rather than the di- vorce statutes, be changed. Brevention of hasty and is cunaia- ered marriages would, in his opinion, greatly iessen the number of cases where divorce is needed. In his own divorce proceedings, Pastor Hewson tes- “railroaded”’ into matrimony, while a mere boy, by an aunt of the girl he marrted. Licenses on Probation; “T would suggest,” he says at the . conclusion of his article, “‘ that a mar- riage license be issued 30 days before it would authorize the ceremony to he per- formed. If a license did not become valid for 30 days after it was issued. ‘rufiaways’ would have plenty of time to think the matter over, and many of fié class who marry on the spur of the moment and apply for a divorce when they become acquainted with each oth- é¥, would return the license unused. I am of the opirion that a change in our marriage laws which would prevent divorcees from remarfrying within two years Would be beneficial. These two “anges would greatly reduce the num- ber of divorces without making the in- nocent suffer unjustly, and without in- creasing the evil outside the marriage state.’’ Theortes Easter Than Solution. Pastor Hewson’s article, in large part, fs as follows: It-is easier to preach a theory than to solve a concrete fact. The putpit, usually sane and broad, hag utterly failed even to discuss intelligently the divoree problem. The world has looked to the church in vain for a solution that would really solve. Most of the “remedies” offered by ' mivisters and reformers of variotis schools sound more like the bab- bliige from a nursery than the ef- forts of mien of brains to solve a real problem of national importance. A St. Louts pastor recently de- clared that it was the duty of the public to ostracize all divorcees; to treat thefi as moral lepers. He made no exdéeptions. Some years ago a . miniaterial friend of mine advocated a “femedy” equally severe. A few years later his daughter married a brutal, unclean and inhuman mon- ' gter. During the first week of their married life she was knocked down by a cruel fist and brutally kicked as she lay helpless upon the floor. She now realized her awful mistake, but What Was she to do?

She was late in ‘arriving at the fiace of meeting, and Hewson did not wait for her. That ended the interces- sion of other ministers. Last January, after renewed difficulty } had arisen over the ch!'d’s custody, Mrs. Mewson sued the minister for divorce, chatging desertion and indignities.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view, today says: With all important financial markets in this country closed for.a triple holi- day, it was left for interest to converge on the European stock exchanges, which remained open, and on the bank state- ment, which Was giyén out today, as usual. As might be suppesed, under all the circumstances, prices of our stocks on iné foreign markets did not move at all. British consols, however, declined again in London to another “low record’’ for the present generation. it possibly has less bearing on the in- vestment situation generally than might be imagined. In one faspect consols are suffering from the same ill as our own New York City bonds—namely, the knowledge that an indefinite increase in outstanding is- sues of the sort is foreshadowed in each case by the plans for public expenditure in excess of income. But the case of consols differs from that of our city bonds in that the British Government clip .,off the British a a pe from every coupon remittance, the foreign holder of consols being treated exactly like the Englishman. This means that increased, the actual interest rate on Fritish consols falls. Our own Govern- ment acts upon the theory that to tax the interest on its outstanding bonds is to confiscate a portion of the interest payment pledged when its borrowings are made. Daily Review. Although the Stock Exchange was. closed today, the banks were opened, and the weekly bank statement may street point of view, sensational. Tak-_ ing the actual week end figures, it ap- pears that cash holdings have decreased $17,500,000, or at least $5,000,000 . more than the estimates prevalent yesterday. Along with this has come a $13,600,000 loan expansion, the result being the unusual decrease of $17,000,000 in the sur- plus reserve. This is something rare- ly witnessed at any period of the year; it is three times as great a loss as any recent record for the current week, and it reflects undoubtedly the extent to which the piling up of New York re- serves in mid-Summer, through the for- warding of Western bank holdings to the East, was a temporary matter.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—William Barnes Jr., Republican state committeeman and leader of Albany, has issued a state- ment in which he declares that “hys- teria has run riot throughout this coun- try” and that the question to be de- vided at the coming Republican state convention at Saratoga is “‘whether the Republican party will fight the disease or succumb in the interests of politi- } clans seeking office or temporary ac- claim,’’ The character of the recent addresses of Theddore Roosevelt In the West, Barnes said, ‘‘has startled all thought- ful men and impressed with the fright- ful danger which lies in his politica: ascendancy.”’ Could Not Vote for Roosevelt. When he talked with Col.

E.° Watson Faints Before His Audience but Is Soon Revived. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 3—Thomas E. Watson was howled down last night at the Auditorium by an audience of 500? when he attacked ex-Gov. Hoke Smith. He was so affected by the hostile dem- onstration that he fainted and was car- ried from the platform. After being taken into the air he soon revived and seemed none the worse for his ex- perience. Watson had widely advertised that he would speak here last night on political conditions in Georgia, and had publicly declared that he believed that an at- tempt would be made to assassinate him by Congressman T. W. Hardwick. He began his address by declaring that the world is going “hellward.”’ Then he began to attack preachers as a class, alleging that they supported Congress- man Hardwick, whom Watson last week called “gambler and drunkard.” The crowd cheered for Hardwick and Wat- son alluded to himself as a martyr. then began an attack on Hoke Smith. He never finished, for the crowd began to ery ‘“‘Hoke, Hoke, Hoke,” and kept it up. Watson seemed dazed for a minute and then began to scream something which was drowned by the crier of “Hoke,” and to gesticulate wildly. While tossing his arms about he col- lapsed. He was caught as, he fell by those near him. KINLOCH TELEPHONE COMPANY DEFENDANT IN $300,000 SUIT Charles H. Parshall Declares He Is Owner of Patents for Signaling Device.

TGOWTRALNEAR END: VERDICT 1S EXPECTED MONDAY Prosecution Has Closed and Defense Finds Strong Wit- hess in Physician. HE SUSTAINS. PASTOR Miss Gleason’s Death Due to Peritonitis, He Says on Stand. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PLATTSBURG, Mo., Sept. 3.—The trial committee of the M. E. Church South, appointed by Bishop Denny to hear the charges against the Rev. Mr. Clyde W. Gow, has about concluded its work and the verdict is expected to be announced to the conference Monday morning at the opening session. There will be no Sunday session of the conference. It is stated today that the verdict will be sealed and held with all secrecy possible until Monday. The prosecution has closed its Case and the concluding testimony for the | defense is now being heard. One of. the strongest, if not the’strong- est, witnesses for Mr. Gow is Dr. J. A. Prewett, who was coroner of Lincoln County and held an autopsy over the body of the young woman and later took portions of the body to St. Louis for investigation. Dr. Prewetf was asked this question: ‘“‘Was the death of Miss Gleason due to abortion?’ Answer: “I think not.”’ “What do you think, in your opin- ‘ion, caused the young woman's death?” “I think it was due to peritonitis.” Yourng Woman Innocent. On cross-examination Dr. Prewett said he was a physician and surgeon, ‘but had not had a great deal of ex- perience in such cases as this. He believed, though, that the charge against the young woman was un- founded. He asserted he had made a very thorough examination. The defense is denying that there was a death-bed confession and lay great stress on the fact that she said “If she died,’’ which indicates that she didn’t know whether she would diee or not. The prosecution is depending al- most entirely on the typewritten evi- taken at Mexico, which was admitted by Chairman Gibson of the trial committee. It is significant that none of the witnesses for the prosecution, either the mother of the dead girl or relatives are here prose- cuting the case. It is being left whol- ly with the conference and church.

Recovering quickly from his shock, he threw out his hands and sent the two men sprawling to the sidewalk. Then he ran down the street shouting ‘“‘Rob- bers!" at the top of his voice. Ten minutes later a telephone mes- sage from the brewery informed Night Chief Gillaspy that two high- waymen had attempted to rob one of Lemp’s employes at Missouri ave- nue and Cherokee street.

Tom MclIn- nes, a Canadian bard, has out-Ellaed Ella Wheeler Wilcox in her Ellaist mood. Ella, who was then a miss, wrote ecstatically about her willingness to “sink with thee down tv sweet ‘hell,”’ but Tom,.who may or may not be mar- ried, gets right down to heart of things when he cries: My Sultana! in thine eyes Let me gaze, where passion lies Slumbering still within their sultry Purple deep! Till within my arms at last In love’s embrace I hold thee fast. While I gather—while I crush— All the fruits of love—the lush Delirium that dwells within The lips of pain! Now, you would not think they wrote that kind of verse up in the Canadian woods, would you? Still, this is not the only kind of verse which McInnes has put into his volume, which he calls “In Amber Lands.”” The bard has been from Quebec to California and from California to the Klondike, and he has written some .crude, strong, back-to- nature verse about the land of gold. It is plain that he has read deeply of Walt itman, Daniel Gabriel Rossetti, Swinburhe and Poe—especially the latter —and that he has been influenced by them all.

NOTABLE 8ST. LOUIS EVENTS. The aeroplane fights which the Post-Dispatch arranged with Messrs. Harmon and Baldwin, will be introductory to a series of aeronautic events which will make the St. Louis season notable. It is difficult to surpass in spectacular impressive- ness and historic interest the flight which Mr, Harmon expects to make over the river along the river front. He will fly in a superb course between two cities. It will be the first flight ever e over the Mississippi. If the weather permits e field flights of these two aviators will be full of interest. They will present the first view of actual flying in heavier than air machines that St. Louis will have had. But the Harmon-Baldwin flights will merely give the public an appetite for the fine season of aviation for which President Lambert of the Aero Club has arranged. The field in the county is suitable for the finest work. If Le Blanc comes here St. Louisans will see one of the best of the French aviators. The Wrights, with their won- derful machines and daring young aviators, should ‘give stunning exhibitions. The meet promises most interesting events. And there is in addition the international balloon race. St. Louis will take the center of the aviators’ stage this autumn. Not even the international meet will offer anything better than the events on the St. Louis program. di a ad The Ballinger-Pinchot Investigating Committee seems to be getting ready to report according to the political exigencies of the occasion. Le Ahr. re SMOKE LOSSES. Boiler Inspector C. E. Parker has appealed to patriotic St. Louis to abate the smoke nuisance. Everything else having failed an appeal to patriotism is the one thing left except jail for the offenders. Mr. Parker has sent out over 6000 let-: ters to individuals and corporations. _, Superficially it may seem a waste of postage. But we are not certain. that it is not the best method and one well worth trying. St. Louis professes a deal of civic pride. There is hardly a business man who does not belong to some or- ganization professedly or actively engaged in pushing “St. Louis to the front.” All are in sym- pathy with the million population propaganda. To all these business men it must be plain by this time not only that smoke is waste, in that it is unconsumed carbon, but that it is prevent- able waste. Indisputable evidence in the form of statistics from other cities shows, however, that the escaped carbon is merely a primary loss; the incidental loss in damage to stocks of goods and household equipment exceeds the primary loss. This incidental loss is enormous. In Chicago it has been computed at many millions a year. In the face of these showings lethargic St. Louis shows itself economically inefficient every day it submits to waste and damage from smoke and persists in producing it. Every business and civic organization in the city should a to abate not the smoke nuisance but the smoke waste and the smoke damage. Having corrected the evil so far as those within the organized ranks have contributed to it, the organizations can then demand that the railways suspend smoke production. In its entirety it is a big task, but it can be done. a i A "=

Milwaukee has been swelling with pride ever since last. April, when our Socialist friends got full control. According to the latest bulletin of the American Medical Association, Milwaukee's Fourth of July casualties this year were three| killed and 112 injured. In 1909 there were no deaths and only 78 injured. St. Louis’ record for 1910, on the same authority, was 44 injured. Mi)- waukee may now subside for a while.

A MONEY SHARK’S VICTIM. In a long letter to the Post-Dispatch, a money shark’s victim complains that the laws against usury are not being enforced, and that the cam- paign of publicity in connection with this evil, started by the Post-Dispatch, has been stopped. “A Victim” should know that usury laws, like other laws, do not enforce .hemselves. Nor do eity or court officials enforce laws against crime unless the victim takes active measures in his: own behalf. And when a man has deliberately put himself in the power of the money sharks, even to the extent of giving them a blank promis- sory note, signed by himself, which they could fill out in any amount in case he made default in his usurious payments, the law itself is hardly equal to the task of opposing such folly. ; The Post-Dispatch has had many complaints by victims who have been guilty of the utmost de- gree of foolishness in dealing with unscrupulous money lenders. In a moment of what must be f

1s ROOSEVELT INSU RGENT ? If the tariff is the foundation and cause of in- jeurgency and Mr. Roosevelt is “regular” on the tariff, how far is he from “regular” on every- thing else? Is it insurgency or progressiveness to approve regulation of railroad securities? Mr. 08 Taft favors that. The 1908 Republican platform demands it. Is it insurgency to declare that the rights of men are paramount to the rights of property? .Cannon and Aldrich would concede that. If adherence to the scheme of graduated inheritance and income taxes is a condition of in- surgency now, why was it not a mark of irregu- larity when Mr. Roosevelt incorporated stirring appeals for them into his messages four years ago? If guilt is not personal why was there no effort to read out of the party those who de- manded the punishment of Paul Morton? Is there a Republican of any stamp or breed, Aldrich follower or Cummins admirer, who would say that the privileged interests should control the party? Who has declared openly against a fair policy of conservation? Not Simon Guggen- heim with whom Mr. Roosevelt hobnobbed in Colorado. should be developed for the benefit of the people? Not Ballinger. He says that is his special and particular purpose. Mr. Roosevelt’s progressiveness must rest not on his volubility or his noise, but on his position on the tariff. On the tariff he is at least as reg- ular as Taft. He heartily indorses the tariff com- mission scheme and piecemeal revision ‘according to the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. The present Republican Con- gress which passed the Payne-Aldrich bill. made legal provision €or a tariff commission, and the 1908 Republican platform says that rates of duty should be measured by the difference in the cost of production here and abroad. Is the present Congress insurgent? Is the Chicago platform insurgent? If they are not insurgent, how can Mr. Roosevelt be? A dip. a If “insurgents are progressives exceeding the speed limit,” regulars are progressives with slip- ping wheels—the wheels whirl but the machine stands still. See Taft. a = ¥ -- - ‘

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Carondelet Park is one of the principal parks of St. Louis ang yet it has no direct car line running to it. O’Fallon Park, about the same size, and Tower Grove Park, a much smaller park, each have about half a dozen car lines running directly to them. Now why can’t the United Railways run the Grand avenue“and Belle- fontaine lines to Carondelet Park? The Belle- fontaine could turn west on Kansas street to Merganford road, then south on Morganford to Loughborugh avenue, east on Loughborough to Michigan and north on old route. Then if it is necessary for'a car line to go to Primm street let the Grand avenue line do it. It could go straight south on Grand avenue to.Kansas, east on Kansas to Colorado avenue, south on Colorado to Loughborough, east on Loughborough to Vir- ginia avenue, south on Virginia to Primm street, east on Primm to Michigan avenue, north on Michigan to Haven or Kansas and west to Colo- rado; if on Kansas, past Colorado to Louisiana or Grand avenue. Then return to Meramec and continue on rest of old route. Small parks like Lyon Park, Lafayette Park, Benton Park, Hyde Park, Fairgrounds Park, and even Carr Park, have an abundance of street car lines, ang they are smaller than Carondelet Park. Why not give-Carondelet Park its share of street car lines? FRANK FURLONG.

The Advance in Coal. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your issue of Monday, the 29th, I see a state- ment from Ed Devoy, who says that coal is sell- ing at $8 to $4 per ton and Iikely to go higher, and that the strike among the miners has brought about this result on account of their getting an increase of wages. Allow me to say for the miners, that the past two years or so we have been paid at the rate of 56 cents per ton, and by. the agreement made at Indianapolis we were to get an advance of 5% per cent, or about 3 cents per ton, which would amount to 69 cents. Yet Mr. Devoy and others claim it is the miners who are to blame for the high- price of coal. Anyone can: readily see by the above figures that the miner is only getting an advance of 3 cents and the operator an advance of 47 cents; furthermore, he says the scarcity of coal may: increase the price idle since April 1. Can Mr. Devoy or any other operator conscientiously say the miners are to blame for this state of affairs? SHORTY; ONE OF THE DOWNTRODDEN. ae Extend Fourth Street Line. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Seeing an article in your today’s Issue of one of my fellow residents in regard to the extension of the Fourth street car line, I agree with his suggestion. On rainy days it is necessary that one get a boat to reach the Tower Grove line, owing to the bad and unfinished streets. If the Fourth street line were extended it would elim- inate this inconvenience and would meet the ap- proval of the Tower Grove Improvement Associa- tion. : OTTO SHAEFER. Dakota Park Improvement. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We note with pleasure the rapid progress to- warg the improvement of Dakota Park, in that a stuad of men (two or three) with hand scythes are laboriously cutting down the tall weeds cov- ering it. Therefore we, the residents of Dakota Park, some two thousand of us, and the members of the Dakota Park Improvement Association wish to thank our able and industrious Park Commis- sioner for his kind efforts in the above improve- ment and to assure him of our hearty apprecia- tion. But—there are some pessimists among us who fail to see any improvement or encouragement in the above. And, although we' wish to do justice to the kind motives of the Park Commissioner, we must acknowledge that there is much truth in the suggestion: “Instead of cutting down the weeds,” gay these fellows, “why not fill up the dump which comprises the park?” “By doing so,” continue they, “a two-fold object would be ac- complished, i. e., that is, the annihilation of both weeds and dump; and furthermore make the weed cutter unnecessary, the city thereby saving their maintenance.” DAKOTA PARK IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATIONN. Cost cf Building. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Many people of average means afd prospective home bullders are looking forward to the realty show at the Coliseum in October with a great deal of anticipation. If the real estate men can bring the different interests (contractors and mill men) together with a demonstration and guar- antee, showing cottages of three to five rooms that can be built for from $1000 to $2000, it would prove the deciding factor with scores of people to build homes ang become an enthustastic and valuable part of the city. This should also prove an excellent opportunity for architects, as at- tractive cottages within their scope are rare but not impossible. The Million Club should boost this feature. HOPEFUL Newsboys’ Home Needs Help. To the Editor’of the Post-Dispatch, It was no trouble a short time since for an endeavor to raise $400,000 for a “philanthropic purpose” to meet with immediate success, through the licity given the work by the press of th ty; while the Rev. P. J. Dunne of the News- boys’ Home, has been making a most earnest endeavor to raise one-tenth that amornt for the purpose of completing the buildings at Garrison and Washington avenues, in order that he may ac- commodate some of the many applicants who are daily turned away on account of lack of room. So far, he has been unable to meet with much success in his appeal for funds and Httle or no success in his endeavor to have the matter given pub- licit Draieube who knows anything at all about the work gone at the Newsboys’ Home speaks in the highest possible terms of it, so why is it that it is so hard to get it before the rest of the charit- reading public through the medium | inclined of the city presse? 6 en eee oe

> COMMERCIAL READJUSTMENT. From Wall Street Journal. There are present this summer just about enough disturbing conditions to spell Caution to the experienced mer- chant and manufacturer and to dis- courage new undertakings Most of the unsettling factors are of artificial origin. Of such are the uncertain mer- its of a tariff law which called for de- fense before it had been signed; the cessation of buying and building by railroad heads who are alarmed, or profess to be alarimed, at the discov- ery that the hitherto tame commerce commission has teeth; and the anticip- atory uneasiness incident to approach- ning board of the political party mé- chines. Perhaps it is just as well that business is running along on the sec- ond speed; there is less Hability of a collision. A twelvemonth of moder- ately good trade, by giving us time: to restore too much forgotten habits of thrift and economy, should bring a re- adjustment that will permit of more healthy growth later. :

WILL KIPLING SUCCEED. From the New York. Evening Post. A play by Rudyard Kipling is an- nounced for production in Liverpool by Mr. Wentworth Croke, whod is described as ‘“‘the Frohman of the provinces.” It would be an interesting experiment if dramatic critics were to demonstrate in advance why Kipling the writer of stories could not hope to succeed on the stage, and on the other Fand, why Kip- ling the master of dramatic phrase and situation ought to prove triumphant on the stage. We should then wait and see.

WHY CHICAGO IS SAD. From the Chicago Tribune. The average tutor at a good college is paid less than a Chicago policeman. The most learned professor does not get as much as a police inspector. Few col- lege presidents are rewarded as well as a police superintendent. All of which provokes the inquiry: If all incomes were graded down to those of instruc- tors how many fathers could send their sons to college?

Makes It Different. From the Toledo Blade. “What were you charged with?’ “Keeping a pig inside the city limits.” “But that’s not a prison offense—you might have paid a fine and got off.” “That’s what I thought. ,_But they proved it wasn’t my pig.”’

Some Boat, From the Spokesman-Review. “It must have been dreadful to cross the ocean in a small boat like the May- flower."’ “I dunno. Judging by the alleged pas- senger list ahe had the Lusitanla skinned “Papa,” asked a little boy, “what is a legal biank?”’ “A ak Sy replied his

It Feels to Fly Written for the By F. D. CARUTHERS. HEN I walked across the grass-grown field of the old Sheephead Bay Racetrack late last Wednesday afternoon from the grandstand toward the small group a half a mile away gathered about a Curtiss aeroplane I did not know that I was shortly to have an experience that up to a short time ago but few men in America had had. Wednesday was not an exhibition was to be an experimental flight. As I stepped from the deserted racecourse into thg field the aeroplane I had seen arose in the air and a minute later passed over me carrying J.

She is like the little girl in the fairy book that danced in her grave.’ Dan didn't like this comparison. “Can‘t you make her hold up a little?’’ Higgins smiled and shook her head. Letty Lane's sitting room was as ful] of roses hs a flower garden. There were quantities of theatrical photographs in silver and leather frames on the tables and the piano.

And when toward 4 o'clock he found himself alone with Ruggles, Dan threw himself down in a big ehair and looked intensely bored. “Well, I guess we don’t need to see any more of these fellows.for a week, Dan,’* Ruggles yawned with relief. ‘I’m blamed if it isn’t as hard to take care of money as to get it. was a poor man once, and so was your father. Those were the days we had fun.”’ Ruggles took out a big cigar, struck a match sharply, and when he had lit his Henry Clay he fixed his gaze on the flying London fog, whose black curtain drew itself across their window. ‘There's a lot of excitement,”’ Ruggles said, ‘“‘in not knowing what you're going to get; may turn out to be anything when you're young and on the trail. That’s the way your father and me felt. And when.~we started out on the spot that’s Blairtown on the map today, your father had $40 a week to engineer a busted mine and to pull the cempany into shape.” Dan knew the story of his father’s rise by heart, but he listened. ‘He took on with the mine a lot of discontented, half-hearted rapscallions— a whole bunch who had falled all along the line. He didn't chuck “em out. ‘There's no life in old wood, Josh,’ he said to me, ‘but sometimes there's fire in it, and I’m going to Nght up,’ and he did. He won over the whole lot of them, “‘in 18 months, and within two years he had that darned mine paying divi- dends. Meanwhile something came his way and he took it up.’’ From his chair Dan asked: ‘You mean the Bentley claim?’ ‘‘Measies,” his friend said comically, with a grin. “Your father was sick to death with them. When he was sitting up for the first time, peeling in his room, there was a fellow, an English- man, a total stranger, come in to see him. ‘Better clear out of here,’ your ‘I’m shedding the damndest disease for a grown man that ever was caught.’ ‘I’m not afraid of it,’ the Englishman said, ‘I'm shedding worse.’ en your father asked him what that was, he said the idea that he could make any money in the West. He told your father that he was going back to England and give up his West- ern schemes, and that he had a claim to sell, and he told Blair where it lay. ‘Who has seen it?’ your father asked. ‘Any of my men?’ And the English- man told your father that nobod wanted to buy it and that was why he had come to him. He said he thought his only chance to sell was to hold up some blind man on his dying bed and that he had heard that Blair was sick to stir out of his room and to prospect. Your father liked the fellow’s cheek and when he found «ut that he had the maps with him, your father bought the whole blooming sweep at the man’s price, which was a mere song, ‘Your father never went near his pur- chase for a year or more, and when he had turned the mine he was managing over to the original company, with me as manager in his place, at a salary of $20,000 a year, he said to me one day, ‘Ruggles, you'll be sorry to know that the fun is all over, I’ve struck oil.’ But the oil was copper. The whole bloom- ing business that he’d bought of that Englishman was rich with ore.

I know what I want all right.’’ “I hope she knows what she wants, Dan.”’ “How do you mean?” “You or your money. You have the darnedest handicap, my: boy.” Blair flushed. ‘“‘I’ll get to hate the whole thing,’’ he said ferociously. ‘It meets me éverywhere—bonds—stocks— figures—dividends — coupons —deeds—it’s too much!” he said suddenly, with re-}- sentment. “It is too much for me. Why, sometimes I feel a hundred years old, and like a hunk of gold.’’ Ruggles, in ‘answer to this, said: “Why, that reminds me of what a man remarked about your father once. It was the same English chap your father bought the claim of. Speaking of Blair he said to me: ‘You know there’s ali kinds of metal bars, and when you cut into them some is. bullion and some’s coated with aluminum, and there’s oth- ou cut down, cut a clean yellow along the line.’ If, as you say, ou feel like a hunk of metal, it ain’t ad if it is that kind.” “It’s got to stop coming in between me and the woman I marry, all right, though.’’ Dan did not pursue his sub- ject further, for his feelings about the Duchess were too unreal to give him the sincere heartiness with which he would have liked to answer Ruggles. He went over to the window, and, with his hands in his pockets, stood looking out at the fog.* Ruggles, at the table, opened the cover of the book of ‘‘Man- dalay” and took out the four checks made out to Lady Galorey and which he had forgotten. He hurriedly thrust them into his pocket. “Come away, Dannie,’’ he sald cheer- fully, ‘‘let’s do something wild. I feel up to most anything with this miserable fog down on me. If it had any nerve it would take some form or shape, so a man could choke it back.’’ Ruggles blew his nose violently. “There's nothing to do,’ said Dan in a bored tone. “Why don’t you see Avho Your tele- gram is from?’ Ruggles asked~him. It proved to be a suggestion from Gor- don: Galorey that Dan should meet him at 6 oO’clock at the club. ‘What will you do, Rug?” “Sleep,”” said the Westerner serene- ly; “I’m nearly as happy in London as I am in Philadelphia. It’s 4 o’clock now and I can’t sleep more than four hours, anyway. Let’s have a real wild time, Dannie.”’ Dan looked at him doubtfully,:. but Ruggles’ eyes were keen. ‘What kind of a time do you mean?’’ “T et’s ask the Gaity girl for dinner~— for supper after the theater.” Lane? She wouldn't go.’’ y not?’’ “She’s awfully delicate; it is all she can do to keep her contracts.” He knows that, Ruggles’ thought. “Let's ask her and see.’”’ He went over to the table and drew out the paper. “Come on and write and ask her to go out with us to supper.” “See here, Rug, what’s this for?’ . “What's strange in it? She is from our State, and if you don’t hustle and ask her, am going to ask fier all alone.’’ * | Dan was puzzled as he sat flown to the table, reflecting that it was perfectly possible that old Ruggles had fallen a prey to the charms of an actress. She wouldn't come, of course. He wrote a formal invitation without thinking very much of what he said or how, folded and addressed his note. “What did you say?" Ruggles asked eagerly. “Why, that two boys from home wanted to give her a supper.’ “Well,” said Ruggles, “if the answer comes while you are at the club [Y'll open it and give the orders. Thinai she'll come?”’ *T do not,” responded Dan rather bru- tally. “She’s got others to take her out to supper, you bet your life.” ‘Well, there’s. none of them as rich as you are, I reckon, Dan.” And the boy turned on him violently. “See here, Josh, if you speak to me when there’s a did not finish his threat, but snatched up his coat and hat and gloves and went out of the door, slamming it tell AED eee eh IP Ame ie ¥ Original Fall Styles for Young Wom

, ? The Girl Who Is at All HOUSANDS of girls admire the dainty and unusual costumes drawn by artists and would gladly model their own style of dress after them. | Here is an opportunity to do so. Miss Hazel Tag has. here drawn several extremely pretty fall dresses, and describes the manner in which each may be made. The work is simple and the material in- expensive. Any girlawho is at all deft at needlework may easily re- produce any of these costumes. 1—For “All Around Wear."’ F VERYTHING for the fall seems to be black and white, and the novel arrangement of biack broadcloths, combined: with shepherd's plaid, is quite unique. This.dress will be very useful for all- around wear, and consists of a draped princess, apron effect, of the broad- cloths, and tight buttoned cuffs of the same. : The waist and skirt are cf the plaid— the skirt a scant two-piece model and the waist the popular peasant blouse. The tunic and bottom of the skirt have pleatings of black messaline under the pleating of black dotted white chiffon. The pleated nfessaline and chiffon at the bottom of the skirt may” be sewed to a tape and basted in, so that it may be easily removed in refreshing the skirt. The collar and cuffs are of the chiffon alone. The turban is of black panne velvet draped and with a large bow of same. A fine pleating of princess lace falls softly to the face. A inally designed for the matron, it might be a happy suggestion to know that the young folk can adopt it on retiring when the hair has been fixed up in curlers for the night. In case the cap is unbecoming owing to the absence of hair around the face, a few tiny false curls sewed in around the edge will make’ it fascinating enough for the most fastidious girl. This little breakfast cap, now used for a night cap, is made from handker- chief linen, embroidered in eyelets. A 2.—The Breakfast Cap. 8 the breakfast cap has been orig-

OW long, oh Simple Ones, wilt thou continue to marry, beltev- ing that Courtship is a Sample of Matrimony? . Go to! I say unto thee, it ts but as the show window unto the shop; for tt containeth ALL the attractions. Yet, once thou hast passed within, things shall look SO different. Verily, before marriage every damsel thinketh her Beloved the most promising man én all the world. Yea, and this is TRUE; but a wise damsel shall perceive that, though his years were nine hundred and ninety-nine, no man could do all those things which a lover PROMISETH in one idle half-hour upon the veranda. And lo, when it cometh time to REDEEM his pledges; he de- clareth that he hath lost the TICKET! Behold, before marriage he saith unto a woman: “‘Thow shalé have everything which thou desirest!”’ Yet after marriage he is ASTONISHED that she should DE. SIRE anything besides a pat upon the head. Before marriage he avoweth: **Thou art very dear!’’

Skillful at Needlework Can Make These Strikingly Pretty Dresses at Home and with ) loped face ruffle. A wide beadihg min with blue messaline ribbon, in which a few pink rosebuds have been tied, com- pletes this novel little night headgear. 8.—An Evening Gown. HE “Hazel Tag” evening gown here pictured is as cheap as it is beau- tiful. A little ingenuity and the most inexperienced sewer can have one just like it. The foundation is fitted and of emer- ald green satin veiled with chiffon of the same tone. The skirt shows quite a neW idea. Instead of the old-fashioned train, this skirt lieg on the ground eight inches all around. The tiny sleeves are of the chiffon scalloped. The overdress is of green and is in-} deed the most unique part of the dress. It is fashioned from four 12-inch irreg- ularly shaped collars, which can some- times be bought for ag little as 49 cents. Of course, they have: to be dyed the color desired. eae: These are laid on the figure and ap- pliqued where necessary. It fits very | snugly and hooks to the left side with a jeweled cabochon. Bretelles are a con- tinuation of the overdress and the long- est point of the tunic is weighted down with a greenish bronze tassel. The slippers are of the green satin, embroidered in bronze and with a jew- eled buckle, The band around the hair is of bronze cloth folded, caught with a jeweled but- ton on the left side and with a long green aigrette. 4,.—Serge and Chiffon. HE first figure in the double sketch g is quite an original suggestion for a white serge suit. The belt, col- lar, tle and bottom of skirt are of the new zebra satin, as is the crown of the turban, . The coat is semi-fitted with pearl but- tons and stitching and the skirt is a two-piece model. The handbag is of white kid with an opening for the watch. The sefond figure is gray from tip to toe. The gown is of pearl gray chiffon over chantecler satin. The walst is in peasant style, with very short sleeves, which are met by tucked chiffon under- sleeves fitting the arms closely by means of buttons. The- same tucked chiffon forms the tiny yoke and the buckle on the overdress. The pleating around the neck and sleeves is of gray chiffon scalloped in chantecler. Embroidered banding in the tones of gray and chan- tecler finishes the sleeves and forms the center of the buckle. *

Trade was quiet in all domestic markets; the general run of news was bearish. In the local pit some buying of September wheat was noticeable and attributed to local interests long of this option and giving it support in anticipation of a turn for the bet- ter in the general market. The buy- ing was without influence on the dis- tant months. Liverpool cables were slightly. low- er on American advices and pros- pects of heavy world’s shipments. Some buying was reported on further sales of cargoes to the Continent and shorts evening up contracts. Reports from the spring wheat section show threshing returns well above the recent expert and Governmental esti- mates and the harvest making under ideal conditiona. Snow's Sept. report makes condition of corn 78.9 against 82.3 for August. During the month there has been a se- vere decline in Ohio Valley and West of Missouri River., On this acreage the crop promise is about 2,800,000,000 bu, if present condition holds good to harvest. He estimates spring wheat when har- vested shows condition of %.2 against 1,320,000 bu; oats receipts, 3,538,000-ber shipments, 1,907,000 du. Total cars of Minneapolis for the week were 3857, against 3078 last week and ww ‘last year. Winnipeg, 1049 cars, against 486 cars last week and 517 last year. Liverpool wheat futures closed 4%@%d lower; corn, unchanged, %d lower. Ant- werp wheat futures closed unchanged, Budapest 1%c higher. Snow estimates the total domestic wheat crop at 688,000,000 bu, of which 468,- 000,000 bu winter and 230,000,000 bu spring. Government estimate was 669,000,000. He predicts that Government will make corn conditions slightly lower than month ago. Conditions of spring wheat higher than Aug. 1 in every state except North Dakota, and that average likely to be 66 or better, against 61 a menth ago. In its weekly review of trade and crop conditions Dun’s Review speaks of the gratifying advance of the great corn crop, and says winter wheat plow- ing is now being pushed. Spring wheat threshing shows better yields than ex- pected, and generous rains have im- proved pastures for atock and hay mak- ing. Corn and oats pe a@ poor specu- lative demand. Cash wheat firm and in better demand. Cash corn %@ic off and dull. Cash oats %c lower for white grades, with fair demand; mixed steady and un- changed.

It is Gilchrist, formerly of Rolle, later of Misscuri, and he has shown’ ub well in early practice. He played in the line for . Roper, in the wind-up games last season, and was a star. The case of Glichrist aroused considerable controversy, as he was taken from the Missouri School of ‘Mines team to play on Missouri! the same season. The faculty held that this was legitimate, as the School of Mines is part of the Mis- sourt University, though not located at the same city. ‘ See Eddie Collins Spurting.

PATROL RIVER DURING FLIGHT

Motor Boats Will Be Station- ed to Aid Harmon in Case of Accidents.

MEETING IS HELD

It Is Arranged That All Craft Be Under One Command During the Events.

Plans for the patroling of the St. Louis harbor by 40 powerboats on the day of Clifford B. Harmon's flight along the river front were perfected Saturday at & meeting in Harbor Commissioner Whyte’s office. Harmon’s river slight will be the chief feature of the aviation events arranged by The Post-Dispatch for September 10, 11 and 12, with Har- mon afid Capt. Thoms S. Baldwin as the aviators. Dwight Babcock and C. C. English, representing the local ‘‘mosquito fleet,’’ attended the meeting and pledged co- operation. The others present ‘vere AIl- bert Bond Lamberti, president of the Aero Club, and Federal Supervisor Dunn. “We decided,” said Commissioner Whyte, ‘‘to send out a request to motor- boat and launch owners to station ioeir boats at points along the river, not more than a quarter of a mile apart, which will be indicated to them. They will then be ready to give aid in case of accident.’’ Excursions for Stenmers. “The Alton and the Grey Eagle will handle excursion business, and what- ever other steamers happen to be at tne whart that day probably will carry passengers to .«.e middle of the river, 19 give them the bgst possible view of the filsht. What use will’ be made of the harbor boat, the Erastus Wells, is one ‘of the things still to be decided. “The entire fleet of big and small boats in the harbor will be under one command for the day, to avoid any niisunderstandings or complications.’’ Commissioner Whyte is chairman of the river sub-committee of the citizens’ committee which is co-oper- ating with the Post-Dispatch in mak- ing arrangements and offering prizes for the flights by Harmon and Capt. Thomas 8S. Baldwin, Sept. 10, 11 and 12. All field flights will take place, and the river flight will start, in the field east of Bellefontaine Cemetery, near the North Broadway line. All ‘will be free to the public. Dispatches to the Post-Dispatch from Néw York state that Capt. Bald-. win, on his return there from his visit of, inspection to St. Louis, an- nounced his own purpose to fly across the Mississippi, following Harmon's long flight down the river and re- turn. Gold Cup Is Offered. . The dispatch states that Baldwin, on his arrival, at once began prep- arations for shipping his biplane to St. Louis. He is expected to arrive here next Tuesday, and Harmon will follow not later than Friday morn- ing. “The Post-Dispatch,” said Baldwin ia New York, “has offered Harmon cup for the first flight down the Mississippi. I have looked over the ground there and _ everything looks fine for the river flight. I con- fidently expect to see Harmon win the cup. “There is great enthusfasm over the intended flight in St. Louis and the sur- rounding country, and Harmon's river feat will be one of the biggest and most history-making events that ever hap- pened in the West. I expect to make a flight across the Mississippi myself, not along the entire river front like Har- mon, but across to Illinois and back, probaly» without landing on the Illinois side. ‘ Baiawin went to the aviation field at Mineola, Long Island, Saturday, to make the last flights he will make in the East before shipping his machine to St. Louis. Permission Given for Tract. Permission has now been obtained for the use of the entire tract comprising the North St. Louis aviation field. ‘the Rock Island Railroad and the Kennett estate are the principal owners, and con- sent has been given by W. P. Kennett, representing the estate, and E. J. O'Neill, general agent of the Rock Island here. Arch Hoxsey, a pupil of the Wright brothers, and one of the flyers sched- uled to take part in the Aero Club’s October aviation exhibition at Kinloch Park, visited the North St. Louis field Friday aud pronounced it ideal for the use of Harmon and Baldwin. President Lambert 6f the Aero Club and President McCulloch of the United Railways Co. will be the hosts Sunday afternoon to a party of newspaper editors and writers who will go in a Special trolley car to inspect the North St. Louls field and the Aere Club's field.

BANKER JONES 1 NOT PUNISHED, BUT HE MUST TESTIFY St. Louisan, Arrested in East, Is Ordered Into Custody of Attorney.

Breckinridge Jones, president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., presence in Cazenovia, N. Y., became Known to officers through the an- whose nouncement of his engagement to be married, will testify Tuesday at Rochester, N. Y., following his ar- rest for failure to respond to a sub- pena to appear as a witness, dis- patches from Rochester say. A subpena was issued and served on Jones last spring to testify in the case involving the sale of bonds in the United States Independent Telé- phone Co. Jones failed to respond to the subpena, and the officers had been waiting since that time for him again to appear within the jurisdic- tion of the court. Kngagement Announced. Rochester newspapers Wednesday con- tained an announcement of his engage- ment to wed Mrs. Sarah Brant Colwell in Cazenovia, September 21. Officers ar- rested him in Cazenovia and took him before Supreme Court Justice Benton in Rochester. Jones’ hearing before the Supreme Court occupied all of Friday afternoon. Jones’ only defense was that it had been impossible for him to appear at the trial last spring. After hearing the arguments of many attorneys on both sides, Judge Benton finally discharged Jonés from punish- ment, but ordered him into the custody of Attorney Joseph Taylor to appear in court next Tuesday to testify. The suit was continued until that time. Purchasers Brought Suit, Jones was one of a group of St. Louis financiers who had an active part in the promotion of the telephone company, which was a_ $50,000,000 corporation, formed tg fight the Bell telephone in- terests. The plans did not materialize and the company met reverses which prevented it from doing an active bus!- ness. A number of suits wer’ filed by pur- chasers of the company’s bonds in an effort to recover the money they had paid. It was in one of these suits that Jones’ testimony was desired. CONTRACTORS Bids are invited for construc- tion, equipment and operation of the Tri-Borough Subway and Ele- vated System of New York City, comprising about 44 miles of line, to be opened October 20, 1910. - Bids are also invited for con- struction only, with municipal money, to be openec October 27, 1910.

REED STOPS Hild CAMPAIGN TOUR 10 MEET BRYANT

Nebraskan Requested Con- ference in Kansas City After Francis Breakfast.

James A. Reed, for the Democratic senatorial nomination, pass- ed through St. Louis Saturday morning en route to Kansas City, see William J. Bryan. Reed was re- quested by Bryan to meet him in Kan- sas City. When Bryan was in St. candidate where he is to Louis a few days ago he took breakfast with David R. Francis, Reed's opponent. Reed has been touring Southwest Mis- souri during the past two weeks. “I think I will carry every county in the southwestern section of the State,’’ ‘said the Kansas City candidate. “In my speeches I have been making clear my attitude toward the business interests. I am accused by Francis’ friends in St. Louis of attacking the business interests. Friend of “Honest” Business. “I am not attacking any man or any business that .made its money hon- estly. We first heard of the ‘business interests’ in politics in 1896, when many Democrats who considered themselves bigger than the party deserted it and went to the ald of the Republicans, wno had offered special inducements to the predatory interests. “IT am opposed to turning over con- tro! of the Democratic party to the men who stabbed our leaders and our organization in the back in the 1896’ cam- paign and subsequent campaigns. I think it is generally known how the big privilege-seexing interests have been in cantrol of the Republican organiza- tion. They seem to be now trying to get control of the Democratic party. “It is to the control of the party by such selfish interests that I am ob- jecting.”’ Reed will campaign in the southwest- ern part of the State next week, speak- ing at Joplin Monday.

Gladness comes with a better under- standing of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish be- fore proper efforts—gentle efforts~ pleasant efforts—rightly directed and assisted by the pleasant laxative rem- edy Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. To get its beneficial effects al- ‘eres buy the genuine manufactured the California th Syrup Co.

RIVER PILOT IS TRYING 10 STEER WAY INTO OFFICE Roy Watson Hopes to Make Port of Sheriff in Calhoun County, III.

Roy Watson, a steamboat pilot, is trying to steer his way into the office of sheriff and collector of Calhoun County, Ill., and he believes that when the wheels of the primary election machinery cease turning, Sept. 15, he will be safe in harbor, with never a wave of trouble to bother him and a deep channel to float in, although he has five oppo- nents. He is a Democrat. Watson is 62 years old and re- sides at Hardin, Ill., although he runs out of St. Louis for the Eagle Packet Co. Twice a week he takes the steamer G. W. Hill up the Mississippi River. Four times a week, therefore, he passes the fifteen or twen- ty landings on the Mississippi River side of Calhoun County, the southern end of which is at the mouth of the Illinois River. There is not a sign of a railroad in Calhoun County, which is an’ elongated affair about the shape of a gourd, se- curely tucked in between two rivers and bounded on the north by Pike Coun- GENTLEMEN | ty, which happens

to be right across the river from the celebrated; Pike County of Mis- souri. Ten years ago Calhoun County had a population of 8917, and this time it expects to show fully 8918 Hardin, the coun- ty seat, had 494 ten years ago, and expects to get into the 600 class this. year. There being no railroads, one of the’ chief delights of the-natives is to go down tothe river to see the boats come in. That is when Watson gets busy. Every time he strikes a landing he rushes ashore with a bunch of campaign cards and makes the usual talk to the dear people, telling them what a good man he is and how faithfully he will serve them if they will honor him with their franchise as free-born American citi- zens, long may it wave! In this manner he is enabled to talk to hundreds of voters four times a week without missing a day from work. Watson's rivals for the nomination are Peter Gotway, Richard Bane, Paul Wil- land and Frank Zipprick, all farmers, and William Mariup, saloon keeper,

~ TWO INDICTMENTS ARE RETURNED IN THE BROWNE CASE Attempted “Jury Fixing” and Accomplished Perjury Are the Charges. WITNESS IS ARRESTED Motorman Gives Bond While Other Man, Unknown, Is Sought by Police. Special to the Post-Dispatch. “CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Attempted jury “fixing” and accomplished perjury in the Lee O'Neil Browne bribery trial are charged in two indictments re- turned today by the special grand jury that has been investigating crookedness. A mew true bill. for tampering with veniremen was re- turned against one “Lavin,” supposed to be an assumed name, who is al- leged to have tried to influence Talesman R. J. McLaren to favor the Democratic. minority leader accused of buying Legislator White’s vote for William Lorimer; the other was against George Gloss. One of the dramatic scenes of the Browne trial, in progress before Judge Kersten, was staged when Gloss, a motorman, who had been a witness two days previously for the defense, was brought into the courtroom under ar- rest on his indictment, returned two hours previously. Jurors Grasp Situation. His visit was to give $10,000 bond. The jurors were sent out of the courtroom in a hurry, but not before they. had grasped the change in Gloss’ position frém that of an accusing witness to that of accused. Detectives were sent out to look for “Lavin,’’ whose identity Assistant States Attorney Marshall thought had been es- tablished. He predicted an arrest with- in a few hours. The indictment was novel, in that, after naming “‘Lavin’’ as a person un- known by his true name, it proceeded to describe him, the specifications being given by McLaren. Mrs. George Kersten, wife of the Judge presiding over the trial, died at the Kersten summer home at Twin Lakes, Wis., today. Arguments in the case were therefore postponed until Tuesday. * hess

Chance for Big Bargcins. Several hundred customers awaited the opening of the doors of Schaper Bros.’. department store, Broadway and Franklin avenue, Friday morning. An active scramble for the bargains in all departments began as soon as the crowd got inside the building. For more than three hours the aisles on the main floor and in the basement were almost impassable. The remarkable rush resulted from a rage advertisement in the Post-Dis- patch Thursday, announcing the cut prices in the clean-up sale precedinz the removal of the store to its new quarters on Washington avenue, be- tween Eighth and Ninth streets, extend. ing to St. Charles street. Theentirc block will be occupied’ by the establishment, and the managers are determined that no goods shall remain in the old store to be removed. Friday was a red-letter day, in point of attendance, in the series of bargain sales recently inaugurated by the Scha- per Bros. firm. Bargains were eagerly sought, and the crowded condition of the store continued until the closing hour.

NEW YORK, Sept: 2.—The cloak- makers’ strike, one of the greatest industrial disturbances in the history of American labor was. settled to- night. Seventy thousands garment workers who have been idle for nine week shortly wil} return to work. Ten thousand of them and those de- pendent on them—60,000 souls in all were on the point of eviction and hundreds had already been forced on the street. The employers’ loss has been estimated as high as $10,000,000 while the loss to manufacturers, job- bers, and retailers the country over have been computed at ten times that amount. One essential of this victory for _the strikers is the abolition of all con- tract work at home. Hereafter gar- ments made in New York will be manufactured under sanitary condi- tions. ‘There will be nd more sweat shops. The settlement of the strike averts a crisis on the crowded East Eide. With thousands out of work and un- able to. pay rent, the courts have been swamped with eviction suits.
