GLOTHES LOST IN GAME, DICERS ARE HELD IN SAGKS Players Strip Themselves and Lose as Officers Watch Through Window.

Two meén clad only in one-piece gowns ‘ ? rode into Clayton in a 40-horsepower automobile Wednesday. The Hill creations devised Yor morning wear for gentlemen who have iost all of their gowns were the latest Prospect clothing in craps games. Sheriff Grueninger and the deputies who eided him in making the raid learned that it is the custom on Prospect Hill, two miles north of Baden, for those who take part in games of chance to take with them long cotton lime sacks to be worn in place of the purple and fine linen which they remove from thr persons and stake on a turn of the dice. Clad Only in Sacks. Two of the 13 men .captured in the raid were clad only in lime sacks when they reached Clayton. They gave their numes as William Meyercord and Wil- liam Mayer. The officers, tipped off by a woman reighbor, whose name they will not te}l, peered through. a window in the rear of August Spellmeyer’s saloon. Ab- serbed in the game, the players did not know they were being watched. One man: emptied his pockets,- threw the money on the table and threw the dice. He lost. Then he threw his coat, vest and hat down and shook for them. Losing again, he removed his shirt and his shoes. Luck was against him. On the next throw he sacrificed his trou- sers. Another player took the dice and went through the same disrobing act. The two kept on discarding garments until they had nothing more to lose. After throwing his socks on the table in: a vain effort to win back his under- shirt, Mayer sadly turned away. All Are Arrested. He still had under his arm a little bundle to which he had tig tly clung throughout the game. th was all that stood between him and the alto- sgether—a long lime sack... Borrowing a knife he cut out the corners for arm-holes and slipped the sack over his head. With Meyercord, who was in simi- lar plight, he was about to depart from the building when the officers rushed in with drawn revolvers. All of the players and the proprietor ot the saloon were arrested. They were kept at Baden station all night, and Wednesday, in the early S:. Louis County dawn, they were taken to Clayton in automobiles. ,

meena ne 2-CENT RATE IN MINNESOTA. RULED INVALID BY JUDGt Court Sustains Stockholders’ Contention That Schedule Is Confiscatory. EFFECT FAR-REACHING Decision, if Allowed to Stand, Will Have Bearing on Federal Regulation.

*-- Associated Press, ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 21.—Filing his findings in the Minnesota commodity freight and 2-cent passenger rate in the United States Circuit Court, Special Master in Chancery Charles E. Otis held those rates to be unconstitutional and pconfiscatory. This finding, uniess overruled by the higher courts, wipes out the rate-mak- ing power of the State of Minnesota through the Railroad and Warehouse Commission and has somewhat of a gen- eral effect in establishing the Federal rate supervision as against State rate supervision. The finding in the three cases was the result of suits brought a year or more ago by certain stockholders of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and the Minneapolis & St. Louis” railways against their respective companies, the Attorney-General of Minnesota, the State Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sion and certain shippers to enjoin them from enforcing certain rates prescribed by State authority, namely: “Class ‘rates,’’ covering merchandise included in the Western classification— prescribed by order of the State Ware- house and Railroad Commission in Sep- tember, 1906; ‘‘commodity rafes,’’ cov- ering several new classes of car load freights of wheat, coarse grain, live- stock, lumber and coal, prescribed by the Legislature in 1907 and fixing the 2- cents-per-mile passenger fare. Judge Otis in his finding recommends a decision and decree in favor of the complainants on all points and finds each measure complained of in violation of the commerce clause of the Federal constitution and also that the rates are so low as to be confiscatory and in vio- lation of the fourteenth amendment. Judge Otis holds that the contention of the complainants’ solicitors, that car- riers could not obey the state law and apply state rates without being guilty of discrimination against commerce be- tween states in violation of the Federal law, is fully sustained and he recom- mends that the injunction be granted on that SrOnre: pintanepiillicattiteene HIGHER RATE FOR FREIGHT HELD UP Commerce Commission Pro hibits Enforcement of New Tariff Before Jan. 5. WASHINGTON,

Sept. 21.—Suspension of increased tariff schedules filed re- cently by forty railroads, operating in the West and* Southwestern territory, was ordered today by» the Interstate Commerce Commission, the date of op- eration being extended until Jan 5, 1911. The commission ordered a full hearing on compliants against the proposed tariffs becoming effective, reserving an- nouncement of the time and place for the hearing. Among the railroads included in the Suspension order are the Chicago & Al- ton, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the IIli- nojis Central, the Chicago & Northwest- ern, the Chicago, Great Western, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chi- cago, ‘Milwaukee & St, Paul, the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & Gary, the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, the Chi- cago Terminal Transfer Railroad Co., the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern, the Hill Steamboat Line, the Michigan Central, the Louisville & Nashville, the Mobile & Ohio, the St. Loufs, Iron Mountain & Southern, the Toledo, St. Louis & Western, the Wabash, the Chicago Southern, the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the Missouri Pacific and others. The commission ordered a suspension of the rates for the reason that, ‘‘from a consideration of the character and amount of the advances, it appeared that there is sufficient ground for charg- and that the rates’ established by the new schedules are unjust and unreason- able.”’

Police Doubt Husband’s Story That He Was His Wife’s Companion.

Snecial to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Charles Diehl, known for her beauty, is dead, the vic- 21.—Mrs. a young woman widely Sept. tim of a mysterious assassin. The po- lice are looking for a young man known to have been infatuated with Mrs. Diehl, but there is no evidence against him except that he is said to have threat- ened to kill her. Besides Mrs. Diehl, four other persons were shot Monday night near where she was fatally wounded. Two of them, negroes, are dead. The others, Fred- erick Gossell, grain merchant, and a Miss Meyer, are recovering. Charles Diehl says he was driving with his wife when she was wounded, but the police do not believe this. They declare she was attending a lodge meeting and that this can easily be established. It is believed he is defending his dead wife’s name. Many Vehicles Out. All the persons shot were riding down the Sweet Home pike. This is a favorite drive of Little Rock citi- zens, and since the harvest moon has been bright, there are many vehicles en the road. The drive is bordered on both sides by rows of immense beech trees. In each case, without a word of warning, a shot was fired out of the cover of the bushes. The weapon ap- parently was a shotgun. Mrs. Diehl’s right shoulder was shattered, and some of the bullets penetrated her lungs. She was hur- ried into town and taken to the St. Vincent Infirmary. She died there yesterday. | The coroner’s jury found that Mrs. Diehl came to her death at the hands of person or persons unknown. Mrs. Diehl's husband is an employe of the Blass Dry Goods Co. The young man who is said to have been infatuated with Mrs. Diehl was drink- ing Monday night, and made many threats against the woman. One of the many reports in circulation is that he was seen going in the direc- tion of the Sweet Home pike Monday evening shortly before the shooting. ' Girl Shot Also. Miss Meyers was driving with Gossell and when they passed a spot only a short distance from where Mrs. Diehl was shot, they saw a gun flash twice behind them and something stung them in the face. They did not know they were shot until they felt blood trickling down their faces. Charles Hatton, a negro, who was driving with a negro woman on the road, was shot with a load of buckshot only a short time before, the top of his head was torn off. Another negro was shot and killed a short distance from the scene of the mysterious shooting and the murderer was seen escaping in the vicinity of Sweet Home pike, armed with a shot- gun.

MRS. GIRL 1S FOURTH 0 ELOPE IN A WILLIAM ERNST. FAMILY OF FIVE

Miss.Carrie Miller, Aged 16; Weds in Spite of Mother’s Opposition.

Carrie Miller of 2624 North Tenth Wednesday when. she re- Mrs. street wept ceived the news of the fourth elopement which has occurred in her family of five. Within the last seven years her sons Charles and Albert Elizabeth, who died a short time after- and a daughter, ward, surprised her by sudden and un- expected marriages. Her second daugh- ter, Carrie, aged 16, completed the list Tuesday by eloping to Clayton with WH- liam Ernst, chauffeur for the St. Louis Taxicab Co., and marrying him there. The publication of the marriage license Wednesday conveyed first knowledge of the wedding to Mrs. Miller. Carrie left home Tuesday afternoon, saying she was going to her brother’s home. \In- stead, she went to Clayton in an auto- mobile driven by Leo Fergugon, former motorcycle policeman, iat employe of the taxicab campany./ Mrs. Miller wa grieved at Car- rie’s deuniaten Malle 44 an of the pre- yious ones. She had tried hard to pre- vent the marriage, and lately believed that she had succeeded in destroying her daughter’s affection for <rnst. She ence caused the girl’s arrest, to keep her away from the chauffeur. _It was only Monday that she prevailed on her daughter to return to Ernst a bracelet which he had given to her. Ernest and his bride are reported to have gone to Chicago. a. rr POLICE COURT CLERK ELOPES Miss Blanche Ross, Only Wo- man to Hold Position, Weds in Belleville. Although for five years Miss Blanche Ross, assistant clerk in the Dayton Street Police Court, viewed as a daily spectacie the seamy side of human na- ture, her faith in abstract goodness was not shaken and her womanly instinct for the romantic was not curbed. When, after all of experience at trials which showed the sad termination of unhappy marriages she reached the con- clusion that there was at least one worthy man if the world she eloped with him and was married in Belle- ville. ; Miss Ross and Andrew Thouvenot, a cigar manufacturer, first met six months ag6. They kept their engagement a se- cret, even from the young woman's mother. Inquiries.made by Clerk Carter when Miss Ross failed to report for duty Monday, led to the discovery that she was married. She was back at her desk Wednesday. ‘“T shall hold my position here until April, when my term expires,”’ she said. ‘“T shall also continue my studies for the grand opera stage.” Mrs. Thouvenot is the only woman ever employed as a clerk in a St. Loyis police court.

RE-ENTERS MINE 1) GET PIPE, IS KILLED: BY AN EXPLOSION

Work, Meets Death First { F: ‘Day—Family Destitute. *

Returning to get his pipe and tobacco, which he had left in a gallery of Nig- ger Hollow Mine No. 2, near’ Belle- | ville, John Streeb was fatally injured at Tuesday by the explosion of two charges of powder, which had beep set while he was gone. He died on the way ‘o St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, at Belleville. Streeb had completed his first day’s work since April, when he joined the miners’ strike. His wife and two chil- dren, in East St. Louis, already desti- tute because of his long idleness, were left penniless by his death. Dominic Falcetti, Streeb’s working partner,. returned to the mine with Streeb, but stoppéd in the corridor to speak to a friend. The encounter saved his life. Streeb was buried under several tons of coal. It took 20 minutes to dig him out. He was still breathing. but unconscious. 4p. m.

¢ SAND CURES INDIGESTION, REPORTS MAN WHO TRIED IT CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 21.-—- That the ultimate cure for indiges- tion has been discovered is the belief of William A, Graustein, millionaire head of a milk firm. Jraustein had been a victim of in- digestion for years. On the advice of a physician he procured some commoén building sand, sterilized it and took a spoonful of it three times a day. In six weeks it is said a cure was effected. Dozens of his friends have tried the same treatment with what was declared to be favorable results. Now whenever Graustein feels run down or has any work in hand requiring ‘“‘sharpeged” facul- ties, he takes a spoonful of his punacea, STORK DELAYS TAFT’S REW COW Special Car Stopped for Event and “Both Are Doing Well.” WASHINGTON, Sept. 21..— At the White House stables last night a delay in the arrival of Pauline Wayne, the conan Holstein, that Nas been pre- sented tO the President by a Wisconsin admirer, was explained.

If the com- mission gives the company the right to earn a 6 per cent dividend it will amount to about’ $960,000 a year, and on the basis of a 10 per cent dividend, $1,600,000 a year. The difference between the com- mission’s appraisement and the com- pany’s valuation of its properties will represent substantially the amount of water in the stock and bonds issues— thig.» ater having been capitalized as ti ult of the various mergers and

Striking Miner Returns to? ‘ance methods used in creating poly on the lighting business of Union The company has not as yet put im any claim for a franéhise valua- tien, The Post-Dispatch is reliably informed that the commission’s view is that the company ought not to be permitted to earm dividends on a franchise valuation. The commission will hold that the franchises were gifts from the people to the original grantees, and that the people ought not to have to pay dividends now on something they gave away years age. The commission has spent approxi- mately 14 months investigating the books and properties.of Unio Electric. Its report on this compan. ‘according to Chief Engineer Allison, will be sub- mitted to the Municipal Assembly svon after it reconvenes in October. The report will contain the commis- sion’s final valuation of the Union Hileo- tric properties, and a schedule of rates which the commission considers fair to the people and the company. If the commission finally determines to cut off a big slice of the company’s capi- talization, a proportionate reduction m rates will be recommended. The com- missioners will not forecast its report or recommendations. The commission, however, has no anacting power. Whether the public de- rives any benefit from the commission's work will depend upofi the action of the Municipal Assembly and Mayor Kreis- mann. The Assembly, before the com- mission's rates can be put into effect. must enact them into an ordinance and the Mayor must sign the bill The commission was created by. an crdinance approved Feb. 4, 199. An act of the State Legislature, approved May 8&8, 1907, conferred upon St. Louis the power to regulate the rates and services of public utility corporations. Withm approximately three and one- lalf years after the first legislation on this subject the first report on a public service corporation is promised by the commission. How much longer the pub- lic will have to walt for actual bene- fits in the reduction of electric ligitt bills will then depend upon the alertness of the Municipal Assembly. Depends on Assembly. -A bill reducing rates could be adopted within a month after the commission n.akes ite report if the Municipal As- seulbly responded promptly. ‘The commission, according to Engineer Allizon, is endeavoring to make a re- port that will stand cvery test to which st may bo subjected.

The engineers assigtred to the buildings ,egan on the foundations and made measurements and estimates as to the sxact number of cubic yards of dirt removed. The foundations, were then inspected, and estimates made of the material used. The engineers went part of the buildings from basement to roof, making djagrams vf all parts of them, and carefully not- ne the quantities of materials used. They checked their own figures with rfhose in the original contracts. The me- cWanical and electrical enginders then went ‘through the plants, listing and appraising every nut and bolt, pipe, valve, generator, boiler, and the thovs- 1d and one other things used in an ‘léetrical plant. ‘Diajjrams were made showing the lo- ‘aticn of every piece of machinery in wery plant. These were numbered and any subsequent com- mission, by referring to the record, can fetermine in & moment the extent to which new machinery has been installed to replace machinery in use when the in- ventory was made. The company’s records of poles, cros’- bars, wire, etc., were next investigated. Copies were made of the pole diagrams, und these were used by the commis- sion’s expert, in checking the poles. The expert toured the city in an auto- mobile, inspecting, measuring and re- cording as to height, size and condi- tion, every pole in St. Louts,; also noting whether it was set in e@arth or con- rete. . The investigator wag supplied with A hypsometer, an instrument by which ‘he could measure with the eye the exact height of every pole. Close attention to detail was paid, even the guy wires veing recorded and appraised. The overhead wires were checked in the same careful manner. The com- pany’s two generating stations and seven substations, as well as all of its stables, real estate, and other tangible property, was inspected, * listed, dia- gramed and appraised. The: conduits in the underground dis- trict were also investigated. The ducts and cables were measured and ap- nraised. The Laclede Gas Light Co. and the city owns some ducts in the conduits, and these were separately ‘isted. Not a single piece of property that -ould be seen or felt, according to Al- ‘ison, was overlooked. Franchises, not yeing tangible, were not included in the ‘entative inventory. When the field work was done the ommission obtained copies of the com- many’s 23,000 consumers’ contracts, and Iso copies of the monthly bills to each ind every user. The contracts and bills ‘cre used in determining the exact rate nd amount of current used by each nsumer, and for such other informa- m as the commission might require r rate-making purposes. Delwed Into Revenues. “rom the books of the company the nmission hag also ascertained its ex- t revenue for each month during a -* period of years. After having »-.thered all of this information the ssion prepared its tentative valu- “ton feport, which, subsequently will made the basis for the permanent ' luation. Yne of the questions that is puzzling “a commission is the amount to be al- ‘ wed for annual depreciation. There no fixed standard. Commissioner ‘llison says the three big elements in “epreciation are wear and tear of the -quipment, inadequacy and obsolescence. *The least important of these, he says, is wear and tear, for a piece of ma- once installed and properly handied, will last for ,a great many years, The growth of the electrical business has been so rapid in recent years that nh plant adequate to meet all demands live years ago may be wholly inade- quate now. Perfectly good machinery has to be sold at second-hand rates to make room for the new mathinery.. So many new inventions are being made in electrical equipment that machinery that was the best to be had when it was installed may become obsolete in a few years. For illustration, he says the: direct-conmected generator and _ the ‘urbine have supplanted the belt-driven generator during the past few years. These things must all be taken into consideration in determining the amount of the depreciation charge, he says. Ne Rate:'Ever Made. There has never been made, according’ to Allison, an entirely satisfactory elec- trical rate. The property valuation and rate of dividend must be determined before the rates can be made. If the commission decides, for illustration, that the company should be allowed to earn ‘$8,000,000 a year, then there arises the ‘question of distributing this coést among the 73,000 consumers in such a manner that every man shall pay his exact propertion in fairness to every other consumer. The solution of this problem s causing Allison and other members of th» commission considerable anxiety. The commission probably will hold that each consumer should pay a rate * that will cover a reasonable interest charge on the inyestment necessary to deliver electricity to him. For example, if the company spends $1000 to furnish equipment to deliver current to a con- sumer, the consumer ought to pay at ‘beast $% a month to cover that interest rate, The commission, Allison says, is trying to work out a simple and per- fectly fair System of rates, so as to equitably distribute among the con- sumerg the cost of the service. The rate schedule, he says, should be so simple that every man can readily _theck up his account without em- -ploying an expert. Has Studied the Rates. Engineer Allison has been studying rates for months. In his effort to work out the proper rate he has classified the accounts of the St. Lowis consumers in five or six dif- ferent ways. He has determined what percentage of the consumption is used for power; also the amount consumed in residencés, business houses of dif- ferent kinds, such as drug stores, cigar stores, banks, and also the @mount used for illuminating signs, _ schools, “shows, hotels and clubs. churches, halls, picture The records compiled in the Union Electric investigation alone fill a goore of big volumes.

We have not thought it wise to make public ou tentative conclusions, because they are subject to revision. “The commission is more anxious than anybody else to complete its work on the electric company. There has been a vast amount of work to be-done, an infinite variety of detail to be gone over, and all of this had to be done with great care and exact- ness.

CROWDS SEE ACCUSED

Typist Uses Umbrella to Pro- tect Face From Gaze of the Curious.

By Associated Press. LONDON, Sept. 21.—At the close of the Police Court proceedings today, Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and Ethel hig typist. were com- charged with the Belle Elmore, the actress, Solicitor Newton reserved his defense for the trial proper. Miss Leneve was hoted and jeered at tcday by a crowd of men and women that greeted her arrival at the Bow Street Police Court. A group of women followed the cab ccupited by Miss Leneve through the streets to the police court yelling their ypinions of the typist as they went. When the vehicle stopped in front of mitted for trial .the court building a crowd that filied the thoroughfare hooted derisively. Miss | Leneve heid an open umbrella before ' her i face and was fairly successful in escaping observation as the police made a way for her. The financial affairs of the Crippens were gone into today, in line with the prosecutor’s opening assertion that the doctor at the time of Belle Elmore’s disappearance was. pressed for funds and that the death of the woman was to the mo:nentary advantage of the husband. : The manager of a bank testified that Mrs. Crippen notified the institution on December 15, 1909, of the withdrawai of a joint account which she and Crippen had kept there. Cashed Checks for Crippen. Miss Merion Currow, an employe of the Munyon firm, who succeeded Crip- pen in the management of their local offices, testified that the poison alleged to have been purchased by the doctor and traces of which were found in the mutilated body, was not used by the company. She added, however, that Crippen frequently bought ‘drugs for his own preparations. The witness said that during Febru- ary, when Crippen told her that his wife had gone to America and died there, she cashed for him several checks, one for $500. She last saw the doctor on July 9 when she gave him the money on a check for $185. This was just be- fore he disappeared. He said to the witness: “If anyone inquires for me you are to know nothing. Say nothing.’’ Before this. Crippen had left several packages with the witness saying “If anything happens to me give these to. Miss Lefieve,’’ When Crippen left the employ of the medic‘'~e company he formed a part- nership wich Gilbert M. Rylance, under the firm name of Crippen & Rylance, for the manufacture of artificial teeth. Rylance was called by the Crown to- lay and, after telling of his business elations with the doctor, testified that ‘rippen told him the story of Belle islmore’s death and added that he had married Miss Leneve. Later Inspector Jew called at the dental establishment n the course of his investigation of Belle Elmore’s disappearance, and short- ly afterward Crippen left a note for his »xartner in which he said: ‘In order to escape trouble, I shall be obliged to absent myself for a ..me.’’ iliam Long, a former associate of the accused man, repeated the evidence which he nad given at the inquest, de- scribing how at the request of the doc- ‘or he had purchased a suit of boys’ slothing for Miss Leneve on the day that the defendants dropped out of sight. TEST OF STRENGTH ENDS IN CONTESTANT BREAKING ARM Two Men Sit at Table and Try * to Force Each Other’s Arm to the Level. With their landlady, Mrs. Mary Glintz, as a referee, Rudolpk Bertold and Otto Kollwitz engaged in a_ contest of strength at the boarding house at 509 South Second ‘street. Bertold is at the city hospital with a broken arm. The men were seated at opposite sides of a small table when the question. of their respective muscular development arose. They agreed to rest their elbows on the table and grip each other’s hands. The one who succeeded in forc- ing the other’s hands to thé level of the table would be the. winner. For fully two minutes neither mian was able to budge the other. Then Ber- told, exhausted, allowed his right fore- arm to drop. He was unable to raise his arm and declared it felt paralyzed. rie went to Central Dispensary where Dr. Henry found the arm had been broken above the elbow. BOY OF 5 KILLS PLAYMATE, 6 Missouri.

NEARLY OUT WINDOW Kinney Adherent: Lifts Op- ponent. From Feet, Then Others Interfere.

A fist fight between Lawler Daley and Patrick O'Donnell, members - of the Democratic City Committee and each renowned in his ward as a rough-and-ready fighter of merit, en- livened the last meeting of the commit- tée. The cause of it is said to have been Daley’s insurgent effort to get control of the committee with Tony Stuever, brewer, and O’Donnell’s alle- giance to State Senator Tom Kinney, Democratic nominee for Congress. W. 8. Rex, committeeman from. the Twenty-eighth Ward, said that the dis- pute arose in a discussion of negro reg- istration. Daley was saying, that he had found 27 negro voters registered from one house in his ward, and O’Don- nell replied, according to Rex, that this was nothing—he had 27 registered from one house in his ward. Daley represents the old Twenty-sec- ond Ward, now the Seventeenth, in the committee, and O’Donnell represents the old Fifth, now the Sixth. The meet- ing was held last Friday evening, and this version of the pugilistic incideut was given by politicians Wednesday. O’Donnell and Daley were seated on opposite sides of the long table in the committee headquarters in the Common- wealth _Trust. Building, and the con- versation concerned getting out the Democratic negro vote for registration. Strikes Across Table. The immediate cause of Daley’s anger is a matter of dispute, but he leaned suddenly across the table and struck at O’Donnell’s face. He is a small man, close-knit and wiry, and he had over- estimated his reach. The blow fell short. O’Donnell vaulted across the table with the promptitude of the man trained to waste no time and no words in emergencies of that kind and closed with Daley. “You double-crosser,” panted Daley, as the two wrestled across the room. Chairs were scattered and other mem- bers of the committee danced about in an effort to separate the combatants, but they were so closely engaged and shifted so rapidly that the peacemakers could do ‘nothing. O’Donnell, somewhat larger than Daley, gathered his strength for a su- preme effort as they approached an open window and had lifted Daley: off his feet with the intention, the ~on- lookers believed, of tossing him out of it, when William J. Brennan, fol- lowed by other committeemen, seized the moment’s pause to catch both men and separate them. Daley’s lip was bleeding. Daley is a half-brother of Frank Hussey, formerly a member of the House ‘of Delegates. O'Donnell is steward of the “My Choice Social Club” at 308 South Fourth street, and a clerk in Justice “‘Marty’’ Moore’s court, Daley is a candidate for Constable in the Fourth District. He lacks the- approval of Kinney and O’Donnell’s ward is in that justice district. O’Donnell’s loyalty to Kinney and Kinney’s opposition to Stuever and Daley is said to have created il] feel- ing between the two politicians, long fast friends, and to have been pri- marily responsible for the fight. After the fight both men refused at first to shake hands, but subse- quently peace was patched up and they are to be seen together now in apparent amity. Both deny that they are unfriendly or that any trouble oc- curred between them. Daly's upper lip still shows a cut. SOUTHERN RAILROAD EXPECTED TO HINDER FREE BRIDGE WORK May Invoke Aid ” of Federal Courts to Restrain City From Condemning Property President Reber of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements fears that the South- ern Railway Co. will invoke the aid of

vent the City of St. Louis from con- demning East St. Louis property for free bridge approaches. He said Wednesday that from confer- ences with officials and attorneys for the railroad he has gained the impres- sion that the strongest opposition to completing the bridge will come from that quarter. If the Southern should go into the courts.to restrain the city from build- ing the approaches it would raise a constitutional point which could be set- tled only by a Federal tribunal. This, Reber fears, wo@ld cause a long delay and possibly years of litigation before the-bridge could be completed.

DOCTOR HEARS STORY

“You Never Can Tell What May Happen,” She Says in His Presence.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Despite the fact, blushingly admitted by Mrs. Jul‘a Watt Curtiss, heiress to one-third of the $30,000,000 Pinckney estate, that she had received 12 proposals of marriage within the past six menths, it seems certain that thus far she nas accepted none of them. Nevertheless, it is be- lieved that Mrs. Curtiss is engaged to Dr. George A. Lawrence of this city, a specialist in nervous diseases and lecturer at Columbia University. Mrs. Curtiss. “‘the most extravagant woman in New York,” is trying to rid herself of her conservator, Judge Elmer S. Banks of Fairfield. “Have you really been married t. Lawrence?” Mrs. Curtiss was asked. Denies She Is Married. “T haven’t been married to Dr. Law- rence,’’ Mrs. Curtiss answered laugh- ingly, ‘“‘but you can never tell what may happen.” Whereupon Dr. Lawrence smiled. ‘‘However,’’ continued Mrs. Curtiss. ‘“‘whether I am engaged is a matter that concerns Dr. Lawrence and my- self alone. When the proper time comes, if I should decide to marry I shall let you know. It is terrible that my affairs should be discussed in the manner they were in the Probate Court at Bridgeport. “Attorney Davenport, who plied Dr. Lawrence with such insulting questions regarding me, snould be severely chas- tised. Had I been there I would have given him a piece of my mind.”’ “Yes,’’ interjected Dr. Lawrence, ‘‘it is thoroughly contemptible the way the attorneys opposed to Mrs. Curtiss have attem>ted to draw me into this contest. They have even raked up my matrimo- nial troubles and attempted to prove I had an ulterior object in testifying that Mrs. Curtiss is of sound mind. Mrs. Curtiss is entirely competent to manage her own affairs.’’ “Every effort is being made by Judge Banks,”’ broke in Mrs. Curtiss, ‘“‘to re- tain his fat conservatorship. He has been assisted by my son, Lewis Morris. to whom I have been unusually gener- ous. “But my enemies shall never triumph. Once they sent down two deputy sher- iffs from Fairfield, Conn., with the hope of kidnaping and compelling me to re- turn to the jurisdiction of the Connecti- cut courts, but their plans were foiled. “T don’t care what:all the courts say, I shall not return to my country place at Sasse Point. I have no intention of placing myself under constant surveil- lance.’’ Mrs. Curtiss admitted owing the Hotel Savoy $17,000, but said she was perfectly capable of paying the bill. This bill of $17,000 is for 10 months, or at the rate of $1700 a month.

NEW YORK, Sept 21.—Develop- ments in the Cavalieri-Chanler matri- monial imbroglio had their interest largely yesterday in the cabled an- nouncement from Paris that Mrs. Robert W. Chanler No. 1 had instruct- ec her attorneys in this city, Messrs. Alexander, Watfiss and Polk, to im- mediately begin an action to pretect her interests. Frederick W. Watriss, her personal representative here, however, would say nothing about this announcement. He refused to discuss the affairs of his client and would neither deny nor affirm the report that he had been instgucted to take action, From Poughkeepsie came the report that “Sheriff Bob” had signed a revo- eation of the power of attorney he gave to Mme.

TAWNEY, STAND PT LEADER, DEFEATED BY AN INSURGENT Minnesota Congressman for 48 Years and Roosevelt Foe Retired by Voters.

YOUNG LAWYER VICTOR Nearly All of the Progressive Candidates Nominated in Gopher State.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 21.—Congress- man James A. Tawney of the First Dis- trict, chief of the ‘“‘stand-patters,’’ has been defeated for the Republican nomi- mation to Congress by Sidney Anderson, @ young attorney of Lanesboro. While his managers had not given up the fight, they characterized the outlook as ‘rot- ten.”’ Early today Tawney’s managers ad- mitted that Anderson wa&s 1600 votes ahead, but they would not concede Taw- mney’s defeat. Anderson’s managers claim the nomination by 2000 votes. Fight on Tawney Bitter. The fight which led up to the prima- ries today was the most bitter in which Congressman Tawney has figured in his 98 years as Representative from the First District. Anderson, a young lawyer, residing at Lanesboro, came into the opposition to Tawney late, but immediately began his whirlwind campaign, It was fought entirely along insurgent lines. He attacked Tawney as a Cannonite, the only man of the Minnesota delega- tion who voted for the tariff bill, and an enemy of Roosevelt. The address of the former President at the St. Paul conservation congress, in which he struck directly at Tawney, served as another bomb for Anderson, and he used it in all his utterances. On-Labor day in Rochester, Gifford Pinchot delivered an address, unsolicit- ed, it was announced, in which he at- tacked the record of Tawney. The lat- ter’s reply to this attack, in which he @harged Pinchot with improper use of public monies, and with defeating the free lumber tariff bill, proved to be Tawney’s only speech before the pri- maries. Incidentally in that address, Tawney defended his public career and the keynote was that he believed in government by the law which made im- possible the Roosevelt commissions, the extension of the secret service and the further expenditure of money by Pin- chot. Francis J. Heney, the California graft prosecutor and prominent Wiscensin in- @urgents, successful at the primaries in that State, also took the stump against Tawney. . _Frank M. Nye of Minneapolis was re- ominated in the Fifth District by a majority, as was Clarence B. Mil- i ef Duluth. Insurgents Are Victorious, Congressmen Volsted, Steenerson, Mavis and Lindburgh, all insurgents, were renorhinated by large majorities. In the Fourth District the result be- een Fred C, Stevens and Hugh Hal- had not been decided at an early hour this morning, but Stevens had been fuaning ahead and the indications were that he would be the winner.

SHERMAN LOSES HIS OWN DISTRICT

Vice-President Fails to Carry Ward in Which He Resides. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—A _§start- fing development in the conflict be- kween the old guard and the Roose- welt forces for contro} of the Republican State convention came last night when in the up-state primary elections Vice- President Sherman, whom the Repub- iican State Committee has chosen for temporary chairman of the convention, - fishes was overwhelmingiy defeated in his own ‘Assembly district and even lost his own ward—the Seventh Ward of Utica. The Sherman forces will. control the Other two districts in Oneida County with an aggregate of 14 delegates to the mine controlled by the progressives. Wice-President Sherman will go-to the} convention at the head of the delegation from the First District. Returns received from other up-state districts show that the Republican pri- maries did not effect any changes in the situation. Westchester, Albany, Onon- dega, Monroe and Schenectady counties will send their large delegations to the conevntion solidly for Sherman and the old guard program. Erie county will send a solid Roosevelt delegation to the convention at Saratoga on Sept. 27.

The country is roused against corporate or corrupt control of legislative agencies, but it is doubtful whether the constituencies as yet are able to perceive the highest obligations on the part of themselves and ther rep- resentatives not to use their votes in combination to appropriate to a part that which belongs to the whole. Interest here centers on the meeting Monday between the President and Theodore Roosevelt. Local politics are put aside for the moment in order to learn if the personal relations, between them are more strained than ever as a result of the New Haven meeting. Attitude the Same. President Taft has not changed his attitude in the slightest as a result of the conference. He reiterated to Col. Roosevelt the views on the New -York situation as expressed in the letter to Lloyd Griscom and so far as the President was concerned the conference would have progressed no _ further. Friends of the President regard as more or less of a quibble the statement from Col. Roosevelt that he did not arrange the meeting. President Taft was informed that Lloyd Griscom and Mr. Bannerd sought a conference for Col. Roosevelt and be- cause of his readiness to grant one the President was not interested in ascer- taining whether the request came from Col. Roosevelt directly. . When the President and Col. Roose- velt were not discussing politics Col. Roosevelt told stories and talked most entertainingly, President Taft enjoying greatly this phase of the meeting. A...

These callouses are caused by a thickening of the onter skin, and this can be re- moved and kept off per- mahently by the proper treatment. The follow- ‘ing will do the work: soak the feet for ten or fifteen minutes in a basin of hot water in which two tablespoon- ifrle of Calocide com- pound has been dis- solved. Then trim off knife, going from the side edge toward the center. Take off as much as will easily come, then repeat the treatment the next night. After four or five treatments it will be found that the callous has been en- tirely removed. The same kind of foot bath should be kept up once or twice a week to prevent the return of the callouses. Calocide compound is a very re- markable preparation for all foot ail- ments. It is no longer confined to the exclusive use of the medical pro- fession, but can be purchased by the general public froth any good drug- gist.

Reaches Home Delirious, Five Hours After Her Encounter.

Mamie Wippern, a brown-haired can- dy-maker, found out to her sorrow that unescorted girls are not safe on the streets at night, when she starfed home from work Tuesday evening. Two men accosted her, beat her and stripped her clothes from. her, according to the story she told her parents after she had wan- dered to her home at 2‘a. m. Wednes- day, incoherent and delirious. The girl is 17 years old, and resides at 1517 College avenue. She is employed at Seventh and Spruce streets, and her work keeps her there until 9 o’clock in the evening. When she left a Broad- way car at College avenue Tuesday evening two men, whom she had seen on that corner before, followed her. “‘T hurried, because I was afraid they would say something to me,”’ the girl told a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘but they caught up with me at Belle View ave- nue. Describes Her Asesailants. “One of them was a short man and the other was tall. The short man got in front of me and put his hand on my throat, choking me. When I tried. to scream he put a bottle to my lips, but I got only a mouthful of whatever was in it. It tasted like wine. There are no heuses along there, and nobody was passing. “The tall man hit me in the right eye, and either from the blow or from what was in the bottle, I fainted. I don’t re- member what happened after that until I found myself at home.”’ The girl’s right eye is blackened and swollen, and her face and neck an‘ arms bear the marks of scratches an: bruises, as though she had . been ihrough a struggle. When she wan- dered into her home she wore only her slippers and part of her urderclothing. The other clothing was found in a shed at 5242 North Broadway. Two Suspects Identified. Gus Meyers and Charles Moses, huck- sters, who keep their horses in this shed, were arrested, and identified by the girl as her assailants. They deny having seen her before. Meyers is 24 years old, and lives at 817 Wright street. Moses is 26 and lives at 5203 Bulwer street. The girl identified them just after their ar- rest at 5 a. m., and later in the morn- ing repeated her statement that they were the men who had mistreated her.

Projectiles From Big Guns Land Truly After Describ- ing Parabolas in Darkness.

By Wireless From a Strff Corres- pondent of the Post-Dispatch. ON BOARD WU. 8. S. . RHODE ISLAND, at sea, via, Portsmouth, Va., Sept. 21—Swinging at anchor, the 16 battleships of the Atlantic fleet are rested after having repulsed an “at- tack”. by a “torpedo fleet.” The tor- pedo boats crept up on the battle- ships under conditions that were al- most identifcal with what a real enemy probably would select for an attack. The move was made Monday night. There was a misty rain that obscured objects at any considerable distance. Through thig haze crept the auxili- aries, towing the targets representing the attacking fleet of torpedo boats. They steamed at an unknown range. When they would come, whence they wotlq come, were questions the sharp eyes of the defenders were expected to determine. Steaming in division formation the battleships swept along through the rain and mist. Suddenly’ their searchlights broke out and swept the ocean from deck to horizon. First on the port then on the starboard side, the great beams of dazzling white light swung out over the sea, searching for the torpedo boats try- ing to. slip up under cover of the anist and rain to get within range.. If one of them got within range the particu- lar battleship at which it was aimed would. have been out of the battle— officially declared sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic. None of Them Get the Range. But none of them got the range. This way and that the searchlights swung, illuminating the sea for miles. Every now and then the great beams of light picked up an auxiliary steam- ing along with the canvas target tow- ing behind it. Instantly a rain of shells would fall on that target and the particular torpedo boat making that attack was Officially sent to Davy Jones. The course of the shells was easily followed. Each projectile fired had a “tracer” attached, an arrangement of burning wet powder which sent forth a continuous light and trail of smoke as the missile left the guns. The heavens seemed aflame with the pro- jectiles describing great parabolas and landed on the target with a mighty burst of flame and a roar that could be heard fot miles. While both officers and men were wearied by the wait occasioned by the unfavorable weather, the real bat- tle practice and the complete success of repelling the attack. of the “enemy” have put them all in splendid humor. The battle practice will be concluded Friday, when the fleet will steam for New York, arriving there in time to give the men shore leave Sunday.

Men as well as women gathered eager- ly in a crowd about. the stage to behold the magnificent creations displayed on the living models at the exhibition and fall opening of the Grand-Leader Tues- day. ‘ The men were interested, but, the women, needless to say, ‘stood trans- fixed in admiration, taking in the most minute detail of each gown. No effort has been spared in fitting up the costume department with the most exclusive creations from Paris. Mrs. Aimee Nacke, who has charge of the department, has spent some time in Paris, and has brought back some of the most gorgeous and bewitching gowns ever seen here before. The most promi- nent maker of these gowns is Paul Poi- ret of Paris. The background effect of the stage, upon which the living models display their charms and their gowns is of a French garden. Ivy is strewn about and thousands of roses of many colors and many orchids lend a brilliant color. Lit- tle basket canoes and flower baskets of all descriptions are artistically -ar- ranged throughout the costume rooms. The stage is laid with Indian and Turk- ish rugs. As for the creations displayed on the models, it would be almost im- possible to describe their rare beauty.

In one of the windows three of the most magnificent creations were displayed. One of white chiffon very softly draped over satin, elaborately em- broidered in lace, pearls and silver; another, a jeweled creation in vari- colored transparent chiffons, laid ever another in shimmering silkiness and silver ang gold woven into bands, caused many exclamations of admir- ation. Another very handsome creation is that of moss-green messaline, over which fell a- black chiffon, the satin tunic of green terminating in a quaint little train, from beneath which peeped a second train in a cun- ning point.

The statement. which is apologetic in tone, does not indicate that Mr. Bryan will support the candidate of any other party, but announces that he is a pro- nounced advocate of county option and the early saloon closing law, both of which, he insists, are menaced by Dahl- man’s candidacy. “In speaking for the State ticket, how- ever,” said Mr. Bryan. “I shall not

His position on the liquor question makes that impossible. “I regret this exceedingly, for he has been a political and personal friend for 20 years, and it would give me pleas- ure to speak for him if I could indorse the policy for which he stands, but he has chosen to make the liquor question the paramount issue, and makes his ap- peal on that issue,

iets PO a chs LS Le LE pret, | Jj charging that the brewery DRYS HAVE HEL SUGHT LEAD I 10 YEARS’ VOTING Missouri Records Show 5 Per Cent Majority of 40 Per Cent of Citizens. - QUARTER OF VOTERS Less Than 25 Per Cent Has Signified in Favor of Local Option. A revised estimate of the local option vote in Missouri, as shown by the votes of 92 counties and # cities in the last 19 years, has been made by the Post- Dispatch. : The estimate shows that only 4 per cent of the voters of Missouri have ex- pressed themselves at the polls on the local, option question and that 22% per cent of these voters have voted ‘“‘dry’’ at ‘local option elections, while 17% per cert have voted ‘‘wet.’’ The districts included in this estimate are the most populous in Missouri out- side of the citles of St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph. They comprise 60 per cent of the State’s voting population. But in their local option elections, a little more than 6 per cent of their voters, or 40 per cent of &ll the voter? of the State, have cast their ballots, and the drys have had a 6 per cent majority. Later and more completé tabulations will semewhat change the figures on which «he Post-Dispatch has based this estimate, but it is not likely to alter materially the percentage given above. Based on Official Manwal. In considering the bearing of these fig- ures on the State-wide prohibition vote to be cast Nov. 8, there are two ptac- tically unknown factors entering into the estimate. The first ig the question as to how far the local option vote is a trust- worthy criterion of the State-wide pro- hibition vote—whether most of those who voted to close the saloons in their own communities will vote for prohibi- tion, an entirely different proposition. That many of them will not do so, the opponents of the amendment feel certain. The second question is what effect bringing eut a larger vote at the com- ing gpneral election will have on the prohibition issue. With this is involved the problem of _ the growth*of dry sentiment thrgughout the State since’ many of the lecal option elections were held. ‘That it has grown there seems to be no question. In making its estimate, the Post-Dis- patch used the table of local option figures prepared by Ben Deer!ng, which appears in the Official Manual of Mis- souri for 1910, revising these figures to include the results of several local op- compiled. The latter data were fur- nished by the Anti-Saloon League. The totals obtained by this revision are as follows: Vote in counties, dry 143,790, wet 103,261. Vote in cities more than 2500 population, dry 20,671, wet 24,346. Total, dry 163,461, wet 127,607. The total vote of Missouri President in 908 was 716,458. The most important changes which have occurred in the wet-dry voting statistics of Missouri in the last three years were in the elections in Joplin and Jasper County, where dry senti- ment showed a great gain, and in Pemiscot County, where the wets scored a decisive victory. Jas@r County, a mining ceriter, gave a majority of 2226 dry, not in- cluding Joplin. In Joplin, which is the fourth city of the State in popu- lation, the wet majority was only 814. On the other hand, Pemiscot County, which had gone dry at a former elec- tion by 628 majority, went wet last year by 253. Some Dry Losses, Other counties in which the figures have been changed are Scott, which increased its wet majority from 277 to 700; Christian, which addede 20 to its former dry majority of 940; Mis- sissippi, which increased a dry ma- jority of 63 to one of 876; Oregon, whose dry majority fell from 440 to 410, and Taney, formerly wet by a toargin of 74, which went dry by 400. Scotland and Bollinger counties have slightly increased their dry ma- jorities, and Lawrence County has gone dry by 742. Cities of more than 2500, besides Joplin, which have recently held local option elections, were Clinton, which went wet by 129; Pleasant Hill, wet by 107; Kennett, dry by 988; Macon, wet by 207; Neosho, dry by 66; Fred- ericktown, dry by 296; Charleston, dry by 125, and Eldorado Springs and Sikeston, which have gone wet. Joplin is the largest city in Mis- souri which has vote on the ques- tion. No test of the sentiment of &t. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph voters has ever been made. In Spring- field, the State's. fifth city in popula- tion, local option was defeated four years ago by a margin of 1610. for DRYS PLEDGE AID TO SALOONKEEPER Will Finance Sulit Against Brewer—Answer for Post. Dispatch Editor.al. At a secret meeting of the Good Citisenship League, held Tuesday night to plan measures in behalf of the prohibition amendment, it was decided to aid a saloon keeper in his efforts to conduct litigation against a St. Louls brewery. The suit, it was explained to the small gathering, involves an agree- ment made by the brewery to back the saloon keeper in business. There was trouble between the brewery and the saloon man, and the latter filed suit in a local justice’s court, hag not

tion elections held since the table was — ‘ | fulfilled the terms of its contract. The case was decided against the sa- loon keeper. The saloon keeper could not ‘afford to appeal to the Circuit Court, and it was suggested to the “dry” work- ers that it would be good policy to help him financially in his appeal. This view was indorsed by the !eague, and a committee was appointed to

. raise funds to help the saloon man. ‘The sole object of the “drys” in taking up the saloon man’s quarrel with the brewery will be to obtain publicity, and to demonstrate the re- lations between the breweries and the saloons. Whether the loon man wins his case on appeal, the leaguers care nothing. The secret meeting, carefully LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. — _—- 5.

The selling carried more force than the buying in wheat today, and prices drifted downward all along the line. Market news was generally bearish, and traders assert there is nothing in the immediate outlook on which to base a strong speculative buying movement. Early indications are that the world's wheat movement for the week will again be large and supplies everywhere are in- creasing. Light rain in Missouri, Kan- sas and Southern Nebraska is helping the seeding or winter wheat.

Russia’s action in contin- ually putting her supplies on the market gives the lie to these reports, indicating not ‘only a large yield, but that the “Old Fox’’ has large supplies of old wheat still on hand. Liverpool prices were weak and lower, heavy Black Sea shipments offsetting the American firmness Tuesday. March wheat there was much depressed on the continued heavy rain in the Argentine.

Receivers reporting a big run of corn being contracted for was also a depressing influence. The trend of corn futures on the actual movement of the grain to market may prove a surprise to the _ speculative trade. Wheat was held upon the face of record-breaking receipts, exaggerat- ed crop reports and magnified bull news, with grain at fancy prices, while it be- pane openly apparent that the crop situ- ation the world over was being grossly exaggerated. A collapse, of course,, fol- lowed when the fallacy ef the specu- lative position became apparent. With corn it is different. Prices have declined steadily over 10c a bushel, In anticipation of the movement to come, and it is likely that the depreciation has amply discounted the movement. This is invariably the case when a speculative market continually discounts any gen- erally known condition in advance. ‘Minneapolis cars of wheat today totaled 353, against 439 last week, 562 last year and 660 two years ago.

Frazier in New York: ‘‘As you know, our reserves of old corn are larger than they have been for a num- ber of years, and as the present crop in- dicates about 250,000,000 bushels more than last year, with but little increase in livestock to feed, and as farmers are harG up, having used ready cash to buy more land, they will have to sell their corn. Corn is bound to go to an export basis. Don’t get alarmed on the first sales for export. It would not surprise me if corn sold down to 4c. I feel a little the same way in regard to wheat. With a crop tn Argentine which will soon be available, I believe the bull is going to have a hard time in the next 12 tnonths. It is pretty hard work for a bull to pay the present carrying charge.’’.

One of the interpretations made by the committee of football experts which assembled at Chicago to dis- cuss the new football rules Satur- day, was in substance as follows: “In making a fiying tackle, it is mot prohibited at all times during the execution of the same to have both feet off the ground. At the atart of the tackle the defensive player must have at least one foot touching the earth.” , Presumably this ruling must have been made to prevent the tackler from employing an airship in which to perform the fell deed. How, oth- erwise, he could start a tackle with NO foot touching the ground is one for the Puzzle Editor. ' The flying tackle bugbear has been overrated, in any case. There are few opportunities in any game where the occasion requires a diving tackle Nineteen of every twenty attempts made in a modern game are simply of the “low and hard” variety, with- out the aviation adjuncts.

The management of the Barns Uni- versity football team wired the au- thorities at Cornel] University for the football date turned down by St. Louis University recently, the latter school Faving no open date. A big guaran- tee was offered for the game by Parnes University. Barnes’ University football ‘squad will work out for the remainder of the week under Capt. Tyzzer’s super- vision, Coach Cochems having left for Milwaukee on a business trip. Fifteen men are out for practice daily now, and more are expected. Watts and Mepham were out Tuesday, and two new men, Patterson and La- mont, appeared on the field. Patterson is 6 feet 2 inches tall and has not an ounce of superfluous flesh on him. Lamont weighs 225 pounds. He is green and never played football. McDill, the young Sparta (Ill.) far- mer, who was with the team for a part of last season, writes that he will probably be back at the school this year. , : DOERR TO MEET HABERCORN IN BOUT ON THE EAST SIDE Freddie Doerr, former lightweight wrestling champion of Missouri, has been matched with Charley Habercor. ‘of the Columbian Athletic Club, for a finish bout at the Airdome, St. Lou's and Collinsville avenues, East St. Louis, next Saturday evening.

OLD TIMERS WIL

AVE [0 HURRY 10 RETAIN JOBS Hedges, Through. With All Laggards, Is Closely Watching Browns.

His efforts to bufld up a stronger team for next season are keeping President Robert L. Hedges of the Browns busy. Much of his time dur- ing these dog days of baseball are spent in looking over the work of several veteran members of his outfit. And from the tone of Robert L.’s talk it would indicate that it will bode ill for some of the old timers who do not show the proper spirit and speed in their work from now until the American League curtain is rung down. Every day the owner of the Browns is conspicuous at Sportsman’s Park games. He is seen in one of the boxes as near to the playing field as he can get. This is the case long be- fore and during the games. "Tis said that Hedges wants to see for himself how much work each of his hired men do. And it is also said that the Browns’ owner is in touch with the actions of most of his ball tossers while they are not at the park in uniform. Hedges is determined to have that winner, eventually. He appears to have a good start in the upbuilding of his pitching staff.° Then his catch- ing department, with the addition of Kritchell of Montreal, ang Crisp of Newark, both Eastern League grad- uates, is almost sure to be stronger. Outfield Stars Coming. Hedges has two very promising outfielders coming. They are Jimmy Murray of _ the St. Paul (American Association) club and Gus Williams of the Monmouth (Illinois- Missourl League) team. Murray is said to be one of the best players in the association this year and is picked as a sure fixture. Williams is mentioned by Harry Howell as a very promising ball tosser. Hedges believes that the outiook for next season is bright. He has lined up a big bunch of talent for O’Connor to work with and for that reason isn’t relying so much the veteran members of his squad. is pretty well known that Hedges is disp d with the play of some of his vet- eran members, so he wants to see for him- self how his men perform. ‘‘Lefty’’ Wills of the Springfield (Three- I League) club. who pitched a no-hit game last Monday. will hardly join the Browns this season. It/was expected that he would come to St. Louis at the close of the Three- I League season last Monday. However, Hedges has received a letter from Richard Kinsella, president of the Springfield club, saying that Willis ducked out of Springfield as soon as the game was over. Outfielder Gus Williams of the Monmouth (Iliinois-Missouri League) team is also prob- ably lost for this year to Jack O'Connor. He was instructed to report last Tuesday, but according to reports from Manmouth he doesn’t plan to join the team until next ‘spring. Willilams its said to have departed for Rock Island, where he is visiting. SEBASTIAN BOOKS CUBANS FOR GAME WITH ORPHANS The Orphan Boys and Cuban Stars have booked a series of thres games to be played at South End Park Sat- urday and Sunday. A double header will be put on Bunday. Jose Mendez, the crack pitcher, is with the Cubans. He has an average of 12 strikeouts a game, and pitched 42 innings against the Reds of Cincinnati without being scored on. He also blanked the Tigers of Detroit in the three games he pitched against the American League champions when they went to Cuba last fall. Metzker, who played second base with the Hartford (Connecticut State League) team thig season, will play with the Orphan Boys.

Wheeling Owes Robison $750. CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 21—If a de- cision promulgated yesterday by the National Baseball Commission’ the Wheeling Club of the Central League is directed to at, once pay $750 to the St. Louls National Club fer player Jewell. St. Loutfse drafted Jewell from Wheel- ing in 1909 but returned the player to Wheeling last spring on the under- standing that it should be reimbursed the draft price o. $750. Wheeling failed

to pay the money and 8t. Louls ap- commission.

ee ee ee Str ong Eleven in the Making at Washington

If All the Stars at the University Can Be Coaxed Out, Cayou Will Have Splendid Squad. With the opening of the Washington University, Thursday, football in Camp Cayou will be in full blast. Candidates for the teams are arriving daily. A light workout was given the advance guard by Cayou, but nothing much is to be attempted until school has opened. Capt. Walter Harting, the husky tackle, looks fit after his month’s stay in Canada. He will be in his old posi- tion this year, and with Schweler, guard, Schnell and Nelson, ends, and probably Hagin and Howe filling their respective positions they played last year, Coach Cayou should entertain little fear of not having a first-class line. ln the back field Cayou will be sup- plied with an abundance of first-class material. There will be Falvey, last year’s quarterback, and Nipher, the clever halfback, besides Wilson, the for- mer St. Louis U. player, and Rudy Abeken and Perring of the freshmen team, eligible. The formal call for candidates will be made Thursday. Bender Men Scrimmage. Tuesday afternoon was the first time that two full teams have been out to practice fcotball at the St. Louis University campus this season and Coach Bender immediately took advantage of the opportunity to have a little scrimmage practice. He did not put them through this in a very strenuous man- ner as it was only the first or second day out for some of the men. It was tried mostly with the idea of breaking through the opponents’ line to block their plays.

| Coach Bender felt that he had every reason to be encouraged yesterday, as the univer- sity does not|open for almost two weeks and yet there wére 22 candidates out for the team and they are certainly showing up in great form. ~ Moran had his football clothes on yester- day and looked to be in elegant shape. Dock- ery was also out again, but it is not abso- lutely settled yet whether he will play with the team. Bender is especially pleased with his kicking staff, which at present consists of Magguire, Painter and Dockery. He thinks that there will be a great deal of kicking done this year, so consequently he is glad to be so strong in this department. Coach Bender says, with reference to the game against Cornell, which he was obliged to turn down: “‘T was very sorry that we were not able to give them a game, as they desired, for two reasons, that they would have been a good drawing card here, making money for both teams and alsd I feel it was a compli- ment to St. Louls U. to be picked out of all the colleges and niversities in the Middle West. I certainly hope they will come out next year and I will do every- thing in my power to get them to come, “Our date for Thanksgiving is at present taken up by Syracuse, and in fact Syracuse has really a stronger schedule this year than Cornell, and they have practically all their last year’s team with them again, this season, This game ought to prove one of the best that St. Louis enthusiasts have witnessed here.’’ St. Louis U.’s first game is next Saturday, with Shurtleff College of Alton, and Bender says he may not put the men through any reaj hard scrimmage practice before this game, as they are a little soft, yet, for that sort of work.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Manager George Stallings has quit the Highlanders. He will leave Chicago for New York on the Twentieth Century Limited to- day, where he will place his griev- ances in the hands of Owner Frank Farrell. Stallings sald to the Post-Dispatch correspondent: ‘“T want to find out from President Farrell who is running the New York American League team—Chasge or my- self. If Mr. Farrell decides in favor of the first baseman TI will quit at once. Chase has refused to obey or- ders and has tried to disrupt the team. Mr. Farrell must give me a square answer to the question: “Who is running your team, Chase or my- self?’ ” ; Stallings places the cause of losing many games this season on the first baseman. He thinks, Chase has re- mained out of games when he could have played. He openly charges that when he has given signals the field captain has ordered them disobeyed. Stallings is specific in several in- stances. In the first Sox game he or- dered the hit and run game. He says Chase, who knew his signal, ordered the batter to wait it -~t and signalilec the runner to go down. Stallings says Chase has been plotting to oust him all season.

On Monday night an official of the club told me that the Athletic Committee had heard such stories and that they were without a particle of truth. I never ran a crooked race in my life, and as for throwing the club down, it is too absurd to talk about.’’ When P. J. Conway, president - of the I. A. A. C., was seen last night, he said: ‘‘Personally I don’t care what Shep does. The club has gone out of its way time and time again to help him and spent hundreds of dollars on him. I’ve heard a bunch of stories about Shep and the championships, but I don’t believe any of them.’’

OLIVERISHARD PRESSED TO WIN FROM MDONALD City Tennis Champion’s Poor Physical Condition Mars Showing in Tourney.

- — —_—!

ates Present city tennis champion, Guy Oliver, was forced to work overtime Tuesday afternoon, in his city tourna- ment match against M. D. MacDonald, at Triple A. MacDonald plays a good game but the gallery did not figure him and was therefore very much surprised when the local father of tennis made the present ‘‘champ” play two deuce sets, the scores being 7—5, 8—46. Oliver, in his present physical qondi- tion, is not playing up to his usual standard. He will now have to play the winner of the Hoerr-Thorburn match, probably the former, and he will have to travel a much faster gait then or lose his hold on the title. Tuesday’s results in singles were: Bascom defeated Joseph Pulitzer Jr., 6—0, —3: C. Gamble de{vated Leo Osthaus, 7—65, 6—3; Guy Oliver defeated M. D. MacDonald, 7—5, rake $ Roland Hoerr defeated A.

The Cardinals lost their last chance to tie the series with the New Yorkers when they lost the second half of yesterday's double-header. That made the twelfth game won by the Giants so the best the Cardinals can do is to win ten out of the twenty-two, and to do that they must win this after- noon. ; ; Steele a Good-Looker. That big chap Steele is about the likeliest-looking young twirler that has shown up here im these fag-end days of the season, when the cubs are get- ting their tryouts. Hearne looked pretty sweet the way he shot them across Sat- urday, but the experts liked Steele's work even better. There wasn’t any- thing the crowd and the Giants didn’t do to rattle him yesterday, but he wouldn't rattle. In the sixth inning, after Snodgrass had got a base on balls to start the inning, Latham cut every ridiculous caper he knew, worked all the old gags that used to make such a big hit ‘with Chris Von Der Ahe in the prehistoric days of the game, and Bridwell, Devlin, Merkle, Meyers. and Crandall, who followed Murray at bat, lined up from the coaching line to the Giants’’ bench, each with a bat in his hand, as though impatient to get up and get a crack at Steele. It didn’t seem to bother Steele, but Huggins and Ko- ney yelled murder and finally induced Klem to turn around and have a look. Klem promptly made the Giants get back on the bench. Then Murray lifted a fiy to Abbott and Bridwell smashed a liner to Huggins, on which Snodgrass was easily doubled at first.

Roschi went into a saloon at Taylor and Cottage avenues,,. and, according to the complaint of Sam- uel Grob of 5618 Nerth Market street, collected a debt of $2.60 from him at the point of a revolver. While the Deer Street patrolmen were looking for Roschi, those of the An- gelica Street District heard that he was creating a disturbance at his home, 4639 North Market street. Patrolmen were sent there, but he was not found. They remained on guard. Not long afterwards the Meunted Dis- trict was notified that a man was try- ing to force his way into a house at 641 Davison avenue. A squad of patrol- men galloped to the house and found Roschi demanding entrance into the heme of his sister-in-law, Mrs.’ Jennie de Caury. * They arrested him and took him to the Deer Street Station. Danaher was arrested later at his home. —_— eee a_i Every Wife Knows The well-fed man +. om i ae Post ren > 4 Postum Sereal Co, enbatabneteetely yr ‘he SOPOT makes a happy husband. ‘Satisfaction follows _a breakfast of Post Toasties And most folks say they’re nice for lunch.

HER HANDS ARE CUT Victim Denies She Was Bar- rier Between Couple and Asks for Warrant: il ‘A Frank Stark wielded a carving knife to remove the obstacle which he be- lieved had come between him and his 24-year-old wife, Flora. Wednesday the ‘obstacle,’’ Mrs. Lydia Steiner, 4481 Evans avenue, the fingers of whose. right hand bore deep cuts, asked for a warrant charging Stark With assault. Stark met his wife soon after she came to 8t. Louis. She was the daugh- ter of Matthew de Vinne, former post- master at Marquand, Mo., but she left home after a quarrel with her family, Stark says. After three months’ ac- quaintance they were married six years ago and went to live at 4005 Easton ave- nue. They have a son, Frank, 5 years old. Stark, who is locked up at the Deer Street Station, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter Wednesday that his wedded life was happy until Mrs. Steiner, a child- hood friend of Mrs. Stark, came to their home. His wife began leaving home with her friend on frequent occasions. Finally, he says, he told Mrs. Stark to choose between him and Mrs. Steiner. For answer, his wife left him and went to the Evans avenue address. Didn’t Mean to Frighten Her. “Several times I had persuaded my wife to the verge ef a reconciliation,” said Stark, “but each time, I am sure, Mrs. Steiner interfered. “I went to her home Tuesday night to see my wife, but she was not in. I reproached Mrs. Steiner for acting as a barrier to our happiness and we both became angry. In my excitement, i laid hold of a carving knife, but I did not intend to frighten her. She seized it and in the struggle te take it frem me cut her fingers.” Mrs. Steiner told the pojice that Stark put the point of the knife at her throat and said he would kill her. She denied assisting the estrangement between Stark and his wife and was cerroborated by Mrs. Stark. He is 28 years old and was formerly a member of the hos- pital corps of the Missouri militia. GIRL STEALS FROM POSTOFFICE TO BUY HERSELF FINE CLOTHES Viewing Gay Plumage of Others Proved Too Much for Fem- inine Clerk. RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 21.—Young women, most fashionably dressed, wearing sheath skirts or hobble gowns, Tower-of-Babel or buszz-saw hats, have been going into Substa- tion No. 12 of the Postoffice here and asking Miss Rena B. Askew: “Have you any mail for me?” or “Is this bargain day? Give me three 2-cent stamps for 6 cents.” Miss Askew, 22 years old, pretty, with a fine -figure and ambitious, has been in charge of the substation for months. The hobble skirt took her fancy immensely, Supposedly she grew weary of comparing her own plain garments with the splendid habits of the girls who presented themselves at the postoffice window. Anyhow, Miss Askew has been as well dressed re- cently as any girl who wished to borrow a sponge to moisten a post- age stamp. Postal Inspector C. H. Saffett, in the course of his duty, inspected the acoounts of Substation No. 18% He says they were short to the tune of $1911.85. Roy Childrey, the postmas- ter, immediately gave his personal check ‘for the alleged deficiency. Childrey says, too, that Miss Askew acknawledged to him that she had taken Uncle Sam’s money it on herself.” It is said she has rela- tives in Baltimore, New York and North Carolina, although her imme- diate family resides here.

His reign lastecd a day, and then, for 12 hours, he pleaded with Mrs. Bowser to return, She repelled him, and sued for divorce. She alleged he was irrl- table, fault-finding and unloving, that he doled out her pin money by nickels, and that when she asked for money tv buy clothes, he told her calico was good enough for her. ‘When women rule,’’ said Mrs. Bow- ser Wednesday to a Post-Dispatch re- porter at her home, 3689 Laclede ave- nue, “we shall show some men that blue jeans is good enough for them. “Most women make a mistake at the altar. A few marry for love. Some wed for money. More marry to gratify their social ambition. But most girls are married because of a passing fancy. “A woman can find more happiness earning her own living and being free ¥ than in living with a husband she does not love. I would not be married again to the best man on earth. ‘It takes industry, self-respect, grit and perseverance to succeed. After making a mistake in marriage, a woman should pull herself together and strike out boldly.”’ Mrs. Bowser practiced her own pre- cept, after her separation, by finding a job demonstrating made-in-St. Louis goods in the Southern states.

UNION ELECTRIC’S OFFER. Union Electric’s offer to sell current to the city at a rate supposed to be 8 cents or less per kilo- watt-hour is another demonstration of the neces- sity of public regulation of the lighting monop- oly’s rates. Nothing so exasperates a lighting octopus as public and indisputable evidence of the exorbitance of its charges. No statement of the cheapness with which the city produces current in its own plant has ever been made that the light- ing monopoly did not wince. A reduction of 13-4 cents a kilowatt in the rate charged the city was the result of one statement. Now comes the new offer, conditioned on the abandonment of the municipal plant. Union Electric would probably agree to supply the city with current for five years for nothing and think it a low price to pay for getting the city’s p’ant out of existence. But St. Louis needs this little lighting plant in the city hall. The need is not that it pro- duces current for 1% cents per kilowatt-hour, or that it might not be a good bargain to buy from Union Electric; it needs the plant. because it is continuous proof of the monopoly’s extortionate rates to domestic consumers. In the years to come, when a public utilities commission will prescribe the rates Union Electric may charge, this municipal plant will stand as a measure of the cost of producing current. Just now it is a public asset of commanding value. It should be maintained no matter how seductive the offers private corporations 1ay make. i A — Two good suggestions’ with reference to regis- tration have been received by the Post-Dispatch. One is that employers give employes time to

“register during the day, tomorrow, and supply means of transportation to the registration places whenever necessary or desirable to obtain full registration. Certainly time to register is an important matter. | = = * ae a. ae FUNNY BUT BARBAROUS. The average newspaper reader, and probably the average lawyer, read the story of the attach- ment of the clothing and belongings of the stranded show girls, in Monday’s Post-Dispatch, with amusement and without any realizatfon of the barbarous brutality of the affair. It is a curious fact that barbarity arising suddenly in

a civilized community usually arouses nothing but laughter. A Dickens ought to be on hand to write the inside story of one of these medieval legal pro- ceedings, with al] the heart-rending incidents and . results to helpless, innocent sufferers. No one not in the legal profession can see why poor show girls, absolutely dependent upon the prompt pay- ment of their salaries, should be subjected to go much humiliation simply because the “angels” of the troupe have failed to agree among them- ‘selves as to money matters. Attachment pro- ceedings in general have an element of barbarity; and when they result in stripping women and girls of clothing, the effect may be absurd, but it ig none the less disgraceful to twentieth cen- tury civilization. There ought to be a limitation _.in the law itself that would put a stop to this e ' farce upon justice. Washington will welcome Mr. aft as a distin- guished visitor if it can induce him to stay for the exercises.

LIFE-LONG MARTYRDOM. The “Story of a Circuit Rider’s Wife” is a rec- ord of lifelong martyrdom in its worst form. No doubt it has grieved many. No doubt they were still more deeply grieved by the report that Rev. Lundy Harris ia the hero of the story, when they read as the sequel that he died from an overdose of morphine, after. being worn out by the hard- - bhips of an itinerant life. ; ‘ 4 ‘ é » it is not less one of martyrdom. But even if the case seems to be one of suicide, Its moral has been growing plainer as an increasing number of those who feel themselves superior to the rest in soul or mind or in both, undertake to make themselves ¢xamples for the rest by volunteering to live on the “common level” or on some other ‘level, they feel to be far below their own. To attempt a lifelong struggle of this kind, is to be in danger of committing martyrdom as an eighth sin, more destructive than the deadly sev- -2 from which people on the “common level” seed to be saved. The agonies ofthis torturing eondescension ooze out in every line of the circuit '. tider’s wife's story of how she and her unfortv- nate husband endured life among those who were ' unfit to mate with them in soul or mind. > ¢ * © helpfulness for all. By oe oh td Among thousahds who may be fit for martyr- dom, none commit it. They live it. It is as nat- ural to them as breathing. They do not know they are unselfish ‘martyrs, and hence they cannot invite the world to see them suffer through the magazines. They enjoy the joys as they feel the sorrows of common life. All that is ‘most’ gracious in it flows out through them in aln Such martyrs as these cannot DISPATCH | THE DEMOCRATIC TEST. The Sunday Post-Dispatch published a com- prehensive, significant and highly interesting in- terview with Senator La Follette on the political situation and the outlook for the Republican in- surgent movement. In the interview the Wis- consin leader defined insurgency. He said: {Insurgency is not a question of tariff or railway rate regulation or ship subsidy or currency reform, but it is all of *these and something vastly more significant, deeper and broader and bigger than all of them. The something more Senator La Follette de- fined in general terms as the breaking of the control of the Government by the special in- ° terests which have come between the people and Congress and making the national, state and municipal governments responsive to the will of the people. If this is insurgency, then insurgency is Democracy under another name. The task de- fined by the Wisconsin Senator is the chief end of political reform in this country. It is to destroy privileges ‘ obtained by the interests through control of government and establish equal rights under the laws by restoring popular sovereignty. If the Democratic party has any mission, that is its mission. If it is to regain the confidence of the people, it must convince them that it will restore popular control of gov- ernment. The crucial test of Democratic willingness and capacity to serve the people in this work of re- form will come in the next Congress. The charac- ter, purposes, affiliations of the men sent to the Senate and House by the Democrats will deter- mine whether or not the people can entrust the great task of governmental reform to a Demo- cratic administration. That the Democrats will control the House of Representatives is practically certain. That the majority there in favor of reform will be suffi- cient to pass a satisfactory program of reform legislation is to be expected. But the Senate is the doubtful point. It is the stronghold of the interests. If the system can muster a majority in the Senate, the work of the Democratic House will be futile. There is a pos- sibility. of adding six new Democratic Senators to the list of Democrats now in the Senate. In Indiana, Connecticut, Nebraska, Nevada, Maine and Missouri the Democrats have a chance of electing senators. What sort of men shall they be? This question comes with peculiar force to Missouri Democrats, who have an opportunity to restore their un- divided representation in the Senate. The issue is acute because there is in the State a conspiracy to capture the party organization for the inter- ests and send a representative of the interests to the Senate. What promise of Democratic vigor and sincerity in the cause of reform will there be if the Missouri Democracy succumbs to _ the money power and elects to the Senate a new member of the Millionaires’ Club, who not only represents the interests, the railroad combine, the financial combine, the public utility corporations and the system in control of the speculative mar- kets, but is a part of these interests? When Michigan rejects Burrows, Rhode Island rejects Aldrich, Connecticut rejects Bulkley, what will be thought of the Democracy if Missouri! Demo- crats elect Francis? And James Tawney, the common pet of the President and the Speaker and the representa- tive of righteousness and regularity, defeated for Congress in his Minnesota stronghold—‘that is the most unkindest cut of all.”

i Le Lp — a TO SAVE ST. LOUIS. Tomorrow, Thursday, is the one day on which St. Louts voters may qualify by regis- tering. The estimated number of unregistered voters in the city is 70,000. Every one of these 70,000 should take care that his name and address are properly recorded tomorrow. Everyone of all the others should take care that his name is properly registered and the address written after it is the one where he now lives. The registration books have been revised. Many names have been marked off. Many who think they are registered are not. Have your own assurance that your name is down. The future welfare, progress and growth of St. Louis are at stake. The great question for St. Louis to decide in November is whether the city shall progress or be stagnant, whether it shall grow and thrive or diminish and be im- poverished, whether law and order or disorder and vice shall prevail. It is a matter of vital importance to every citizen. To save St. Louis every voter must vote and to do that he must qualify himself by registra- tion. Every precint polling place will he open fram 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. Register to- morrow.

A. AA = = THE MONETARY REPORT. The Monetary Commission is to hold a meeting early in November with the purpose of formulat- ing,a report to be submitted to Congress in De- cember. It is announced that in all probability the ‘commission will agree upon a plan for cur- rency and banking reform and that the report to Congress will recommend definite legislation to that end. While this report is encouraging in form, it 1s not likely to arouse any great expectation in the public. mind. The interests at stake in the measure are vast, not only as concerns the nation, but as to certain individuals. Under our. present system a single combination of banks in New York City is said to have virtually under its con- trol upwards of $10,000,000,000. The figures may be exaggerated; no one knows the exact sums, but the very currency given to such exaggera- tions shows how much power is exerted in finan- clal circles by the great banking combines. These big interests will of course be opposed to any form of remedial legislation. Therefore we can hardly’ look for much from the present commis- sion, The report will be awaited with much It was announced by the Chicago Dressmakers’

I have read your notice in regard to registra- tion day, and have also received a letter from the Business Men’s League urging all voters not now registered to do so. I would like to say the election law designates the hour of opening registration office at 8 o’clock a. m: and closing

at 10 o’clock p. m.; 8 a. m. is entirely too late: for most workingmen, as they are compelled to be at work before or by that hour, therefore the registration of their names is apt to be left until evening when there are chance of some precincts not being able to handle the rush. I believe the business houses should canvass their employes dnd those not registered and wishing to do so be allowed a half holiday so as to be sure to get in and register. It has been my ex- perience since serving as a judge of registration and election the past six or eight years to see the majority of workingmen call after 6 p. m., and this registration being one day only, there may be a number of voters who will be unable to get in in time to register. Please urge the business houses to allow a half holiday to those wishing to register. ad. A PICKUP, Election Judge. Fair Journalism. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am delighted with your policy. I am studying every paper in the city in behalf of business in- terests which in this matter of prohibition are ascertaining which papers are fair and which are not. They have already decided several St. Louis papers are controlled by the liquor interests. Your paper is not one of these. That news item a day or two ago regarding Harry Hawes con- verting a Deep Waterways meeting into an anti- prohibition demonstration looked a trifle like the: wrong way of handling things, but was not backed up by editorial endorsement of saloons. And was followed yesterday by that article re- garding the country editors refusing brewery ads. This showed fairness. we think, People who control a large part of the adver- tising revenue of this country and perhaps rep- resent a majority of the newspaper readers are finding that the $5,000,000 per day spent for liquor comes out of legitimate trade channels. So they are studying the liquor question along business lines. And these people want to know which pub- lishers are fair and which are not. They don’t ask papers in cities like this to be prohibition; only to print both sides. Give the news—and the truth. And you seem to be doing that—vindicat- ing your policy of independence. Thank you— and heartfelt congratulations. A MAN FROM MAINB., To ‘‘An Anxious Mother.’’ To the Pditor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to an appeal from “Anxious Mother” in regard to her children, I would suggest, even earnestly solicit her to make arrangements for them at Father Dunn’s Newsboys’ Home at 3000 Washington avenue. This is an ideal home for them and one where they will be splendidly taken care of. I have just visited this place and I was certainly impressed by it. It is not necessary that you be Catholic. All. creeds are recetved. KF. J. HOFFMAN, Influence of Housing. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Before the spring election of 1909 there were 153,000 registered voters in St. Louls. The total vote of the city then was 139,912. The revision of the registration lists has reduced the num- ber of qualified voters to 98,000. Plainly enough, approximately 50,000 families have changed their places of abode in St. Louis: in 15 months. The task of finding suitable housing in St. Louis is one that never é¢nds. It is a nomadic community. One-third of the whole population moves every year. Aside from the deplorable condition which might result when prohibitioa threatens industrial and. moral welfare, it seems to me that here is work for the Million Club If the people of St. Levis were satisfactorily housed, they would no: move so often. in population RENTER. of the causes why the increase was only 19 per cent. Insurgents vs. Stand-Patters. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Replying to “Joe Gun,” the theories advanced by “Benton Corwin,” “Student,” ‘“Celtic-Ameri- can,” “Uncle Joe” et al. would be more easily un- derstood if looked upon from tRe view-point of one who is sharing the lot of the masses of the people. Many policemen, jaltilers, turnkeys, preachers, revivalists, criminal lawyers, etc., are of no use to the masses of the people; charity is a free will gift and can be taken away at will, and “other organizations” of a like nature, all receive their support from the masses, who are the producers of all the means of life and are deserving of a far better system of distribution of the necessities of life than “Charity and other organizations” afford today. If many of such men and organizations as “Joe Gun” points out were sent to “fresh flelds and new pastures,” situation would be relieved, as there are entirely too many “grafters” engaged in exploiting the workers now. If things are not headed straight for the “demnition” bow-wows now, I have never seen the back of my neck. : . Our present high order of civilization is, in- deed, also a “very” high order of exploitation, and is rapidly jarring the workers of the land loose from all they produce except a bare ex- istence. i “Let’s stand pat for the worker, the producer, the exploited; down with the “shirker,” the de- stroyer and the “exploiter.” ~m Vv. & Eldon, Mo. To Prevent Elevator Accidents. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The pitiful accident that occurred at the Mary- land yesterday, in which the little girl lost her life, emphasizes the negligence common among elevator boys in closing gates. It seems to be regarded as a graceful accomplishment among some of them to see how far they can get away from the gate before it closes. There should be a law requiring elevator gates to be closed before the cage is put in motion, even at the expense of a little time. H, R. LLOYD, Smoking in Oenter of Oars. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to mention an almost intolerable nuigance. I live in this great city’s suburbs, and my occupation, Hke many others, leads me to the downtown district; consequently [I am daily a patron of the United Railways, and daily men are to be seen smoking in the center of the cars, completely ignoring the notices so conspicuotsly posted, and the conductor, who should enforce the prdinance, looks on complacently.

Socialist Platform Condemns Prohi- | bition. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. i am a workingman and being a So- clalist, perhaps take a different view on prohibition than most people. The pro- ribitionists have a vast army of speak- ers throughout the State, backed by rearly all the churches. Now, who is furnishing the campaign fund for this ermy of speakers? I wonder if it ever occurred to your readers that there may be some rich crooks behind this movement for the rurpose of looting the State with their prohibition scheme by depreciating property values and when it hits the lowest figure buy ft in, and in a few years hence turn the tables on the pro- hibitionists and thereby clean up vast fortunes? It would be worth while to investigate who are the big property owners in Maine, which State is soon to be turned over to the wets, and also investigate who they are that are buying up the depreciated property caused by prohibition in the dry states cf the South. As a Socialist, I shall vote against prohibition and the breaking up of the home, and I praise the Socialists as be- ing the only party who had the courage tc declare themselves against prohibition in their platform. J. F. ARLITZ. Divoree Saloon From Politics. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. St. Louis is hampered now, and will be for years, by a mess of “graft legis- lation,” put through by men elected and controlled by a system whose life de- pended on the unlewful activity of the brewers and saloon men in politics. Past legislation is “spilled milk;” we can remedy very little of it, and that little very slowly. In the future the saloon and politics must be “divorced” for the good of the city. I believe the only sure way to divorce the sqloon and politics is to kick the saloon out. Of the two evils—the damage prohibi- tion will do to many of the business in- terests of St. Louis and, second, the damage that will be caused by a con- tinuance of the saloon in politics, I pre- fer the first. BILL PRIF. Let Us Be Temperate. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I do not wish to deprive of their rights the class of people that enjoys a glass of beer once in awhile just on account of some weak-minded fools who have a habit of getting drunk often. I believe that every city and county should estab- lish spectal institutions to keep the drunken element by themselves and not interfere with the rights of others who are temperate in their habits. .If such a place were established, I believe the talk of prohibition would be knocked tn the head.

You approve what has been said by Mr. Hermann to the effect that prohi- bition is a menace to morality, law, or- der and the material welfare of the city. /Is this fronical? If not, may we ask for a bill of particulars? Why is prohibi- tion a menace to morality, law, order and the material welfare of the people? To the contrary, 90 per cent of all crime and lawlessness, not to speak of insanity, is directly due to the saloon- keeper, distiller and brewer. Is it a menace to the welfare of the people to remove the cause that produces these crimes and this lawlessness? Compare the criminal records of sober Kansas and Maine with drunken Mis- souri, and be convinced to the contrary. In the sober states there is less than one-half the crime and double the wealth per capita than in the drunken states. Poverty is practically unknown. Is this a menace to the peaple of the sober states? But we are told that the removal of the saloonkeeper, distiller and brew- er would abridge our liberties. If one is constantly saturated with alcohol he has a poor notion of liberty. Qur lib- erties are otherwise infringed. Why we can’t even spit on the sidewalk. And it is well to curtail our liberties when their results are unqualified evil. JAMES J. O’DONOHOBE. Prohibition Is Class Legislation. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . If the writer of the letter signed V. Pulliam were a fair-minded Christian he would have an altogether different view of prohibition. How does he justify the fact that Christ provided wine for the marriage feast at Cana? Does he condemn this act as he does the Post-Dispatch editorial? He insinuates that only the Prohibitionists are de- cent people. As a matter of fact the Prohibitionists are the most un- reasonable, un-American, selfish peo- ple on earth. Why? Because, while no one ig compelling them to eat or drink anything against their will, they want to force others to discon- tinue the use of beverages and stimu- lants which the laws of God do not prohibit. Is it not time that the United States Supreme Court declared all pro- hibition laws unconstitutional, as it is certainly the purest kind of class legislation and opposed to the Amert- can principle of personal liberty?

Whitaker In Charge of Market Milk Investigations, Dairy Division, United States Bureau of Animal Industry. Milk F THE miilk producer and the milk dealer have done their duty there | is daily left at the consumer’s door a bottle of clean, cold, unadul- terated milk. By improper treatment in the home the milk may then become unfit for food, especially for babies. This bad treat- ment consists (1) in placing it in unclean- vessels; (2) in exposing it|- unnecessaM@ly to the air; (3) in failing to keep it cool up to the time of using it; and (4) in exposing it to flies. Milk absorbs impurities—collects bacteria—whenever it its exposed to the air or placed in unclean vessels. Some of these may be the bacteria of certain contagious diseases; others may cause digestive trou- bles which in the case of babies may prove fatal. Much of the cholera infantum and summer bowel troubles of infants is due to impure milk. The amount of the contamination depends largely on the condition of the utensils and the air with which the milk comes in contact; the air of even a so-called clean room contains many impurities. The science of_ bacteriol- Bacteria which get into the milk from the air or from the vessels multiply rapidly so long as the milk remains warm; that is, at 50 degress Fahrenheit or above. At low- er temperatures the bacteria either are dormant or increase slowly. Clean- liness and co!d are imperative if one would have good milk, although if-it is consumed so quickly after production that the bacteria in it do not have time to increase much—say within two or three hours—the importance of cold is lessened. Milk from the grocery or bakery which is kept in a can, — much of the time, possibly without refrigeration, is dangerous and 8 ould be avoided. Receiving the Milk. 6 Mews best way of buying milk is in bottles. Dipping milk from large cans and pouring it into customers’ receptacles on the street, with all the incident exposure to dusty air not always the cleanest, is a. bad prac- tice. Drawing milk from the faucet of a retailer’s can is almost as bad as dipping, because, although the milk may be exposed to the street air a little less than by the dipping process, it is not kept thoroughly mixed, and ‘some consumers will receive less than their proportion of cream. If sit- vated so that it is impossible to get bottled milk, do not set out overnight an uncovered vessel to collect thousands of baceria from street dust before milk is put into it. Have the milk delivered personally to some member of the family if possible; if not, set out a bowl covered with a plate, or better still, use a glass preserving jar in which nothing but milk is put. In the latter case use a jar with a glass top, but omit the rubber band. Paper tickets are often more or less soiled; hence if they are used do not put them in the can, bowl or jar. For the same reason money should not be put in the can. “ Take the milk into the house as soon as possible after delivery, par- ‘ticularly in hot weather. Never allow the sun to shine for any length of time on the milk. Sometimes milk delivered as early as 4 a. m. remains out of doors until 9 or 10 o’clock. This is wrong. If it is inconvenient to re- ceive the milk soon after it is delivered, indicate to the driver a sheltered lace, or provide a covered box in which the milk bottle or can may be eft. : Handling and Keeping Milk. N receiving the milk put it in the refrigerator at once and allow it to remain there when not using from it. Except in cold weather milk can not be properly kept without ice. Unless the milk bottle is in actual contact with the ice it will be colder at the bottom of the refrigerator than in the ice compartment, as he cold air settles rapidly. Kéep milk in the original bottle till needed for immediate consumption; do not pour it into bowl or pitcher for storage. Carefully wipe or rinse the bottle, especially the mouth, before pouring any milk from it, so that dust or dirt which may have gathered thereon or on the cap will not get into the milk. Do not pour back into the bottle milk which has been exposed to the air by being placed in other vessels. Keep the bottle covered with a aper cap as long as milk is in it and when not actually pouring from it. If the aper cap has been punctured, cover the bottle with an inverted tumbler. ilk deteriorates by exposure to the air of pantry, kitchen or nursery. Do not expose uncovered milk in a refrigerator containing food of any kind, not to mention strong-smelling foods like fish, cabbage or onions. An ex- cellent way of serving milk on the table, from the sanitary standpoint, is the original bottle; at all events, pour out only what will be consumed at one meal. When milk is received in bowl or pitcher instead of a bottle, observe the spirit of the foregoing remarks: Keep the vessel covered; expose un- covered milk to the air of any room as little as possible; do not expose it at all in a rpgfrigerator. ‘ Remember that exposure of milk to the open air invites contamination, not only from odors and bacteria-laden dust, but also from flies. These scavengers may convey. germs of typhoid fever or other contagious dis- eases from the sick room or from excreta to the milk. Records show typhoid epidemics from such a cause, and 100,000 fecal bacteria have been found on a single fly. Fhes also frequently convey to milk large numbers of the bacteria that cause intestinal disorders in in- fants; an examination of 414 flies showed an average of 1,250,000 bac- ‘ Keep the refrigerator clean and sweet. Personally inspect it at least once a week. See that the outlet for water formed by the melting ice ig kept open and that the space under the ice rack is clean. The place where food is kept should be scalded every week; a single drop of spilled milk or small particle of other neglected food will contaminate a refrigera- tor in a few days. Cleaning Empty Bottles and Utensils. A® soon as a milk bottle is empty rinse it in lukewarm water until it appears clear, then set it bottom up to drain. Do not use it for any other purpose than for milk. There is no objection to the consumer’s wash- ing and scalding the milk bottle, but this is unnecessary, as the dealer will wash. it again when it reaches his plant. He can not, however, do this prop- erly if he receives the bottle in a filthy condition, and if you return such a bottle your negligence may result in the subsequent delivery of contaminated milk to some consumer, possibly yourself. All utensils with which milk comes in contact should be rinsed, washed, and scalded every time they ate used. Use fresh water; do not wash them in dishwater which has been used for washing other utensils or wipe them with an ordinary dish towel—it is better to boil in clean water and set them away unwiped. ‘ When a baby is bottle-fed, every time the feeding bottle and nipple are used they should be rinsed in lukewarm water, washed in hot water, t6 which a small amount of washing soda has been added, and then scalded. Never use a rubber tube between bottle and nipple, or a bottle with corners. In’ a case of typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, or other con- tagious disease breaks out in the family, do not return any bottles to the except with the knowledge of the attending physician and under conditions prescribed by him.

As a matter of fact, remarks of that kind would destroy any love a girl might feel for a man. For threats of self-destruction are a form of e-wardice. They mean that thé person who makes them is not strong enough to face de- feat and turn it into victory. A man who cries he will die rather than lose your love will probably threaten a similar end when he finds he is unable to pay the rent a little later in life.

Nothing is so impprtant at the time of NEED as the voice that reassures, the clasp of the hand of sympathy, the whispered word of agreement.

HE Hungarian, in the Conti- nenta], was drinking his cof- fee in his room when his friends found him. He listened to What they had to say cool- ly. His eyeglass gave him an air of full dress even at this early hour. Ponlotowsky had not fallen into a deep sleep and had a dream as Dan Blair had—indeed he had only reached his rooms the night before when a letter had been brought him from Miss Lane. He was used to her caprices, which were countless, and he never left her with any certainty that he should see her again, or with any idea of what her next move would be. The letter read: It’s no use. I just can’t. I’ve always told you so, and I mean it. I’m tired out—I want to go away and never see anyone again. 1 want to die. I shall be dead next year, and I don’t care. Please leave me alone and don’t come to see me, for heaven’s sake don’t bere me with notes.’”’ When Poniotowsky received this note he had shrugged, and decided tha. if he lived after his duel with the young savage he would go to see the actress, taking a jewel or a gift—he would get her a Pomeranian dog, and all would be well. He listened coolly to what his friends had to say. “C'est un enfant,’’ marked sneeringly. ‘In my mind, he is a coward,’’ said the other. “On the contrary,’ answ@ed Ponio- towsky coolly, ‘‘he shoots to perfec- tion. You will be surprised to hear that I admire his refusal. I accept his decision, as his skill is unquestioned with arms. I choose to look upon this reply as an apology. I would like to have you inform Mr. Blair of this fact. He’s young enough to be my son, and he is a barbarian. he incident is closed.’’ He put Letty Lane’s note in his pocket, and leisurely prepared to go out on the Rue de Castiglione to buy her a Pom- éranian dog. CHAPTER XXXIIL. The Things Above Ground. IGGINS let him in, and across the.room Blair saw the figure of the actress against the light of the long window. Her back was to him as he came up, and though she knew who he was, she was far from dreaming how different a mgn it was that came in to see her this morning from the one she had known. ‘Won't you turn around and bid me good-by?” he asked her. “I’m going away.’’ She gave him a languid hand without looking at him. “Has Higgins gone?’ “Yes. Won't you turn round and say how-de-do, and good-by? - Gosh,” he cried as she turned, ‘how pale you are, darling.”” And he took her in his arms. The vision he had had of her in her coral-colored dress at Maxim’s gave place to the more radiant one which had shone on him in his curious dream. “Are you very ill?” he murmured. “Speak to me—tell me—are you going to die?’’ ‘Don'tebe a goose, boy.” “T’ve had a wire from Ruggles,’’ Dan one of them re- at PRES 2 Sleowhe re Ask for a6 Tet HORLICK’S The Original and ine MALTED MILK cares for yon both . no special interest in dithey of yon’ | te No Combine er Trust | said: 33 “he tells me it’s true.

It will be rough at first, but oth- ers have done it and been happy, an we've got each other.’’ The eyes fixed on her were as blue as the summer skies. ‘‘Money’s a darned poor thing to buy happiness with, Letty. It didn’t buy me a thing fit to keep, that’s the truth. I’ve never been so gay since I was born as I am today. Why, I feel,”’ he said, and would have stretched out his arms, only he held her with them, “like a king. Later I'll have money again, all right—don’t fret—and then I'll know its worth. I'll bet you weren't all unhappy there in Biairtown before you turned the heads of all those Johnnies."’ He put one hand against her cheek and lifted her drooping head. ‘“‘Lean on me, sweetheart,” he said with great tenderness. ‘It will be all right.’’ A coral color stole along her cheek: it rose like a sweet tide under his hand. She looked at him, fascinated. “It's not a real tragedy,’’ he went on. “I've got my letter of credit, and old Ruggles will let me hang onto that, and you'll find the motor cars and jewels will look like 30 cents when we stand in the door of our little shack and look out at the Value Mine.” He lifte@ her hand to his lips, held it there, ayd the spark ignited in her; his youth and con- fidence, his force and passion, woke a woman in Letty Lane that had never lived there before that hour. He murmured: “I'll be there with you, darling—night and day—night and day!”’ He brought his bright face to hers. She found breath to say, ‘“‘What has happened to you, Dan—what?’’ “I don’t know,” he gravely replied. “I guess I came up pretty close against it last night; things got into their right places, and then and thete I knew you were the girl for me, and I the man for vou, rich or poor.” He kissed her and she passively re- ceived his caresses, so passively, so without making ‘him any sign, that his assurance began to be shaken—his arms feil from her. “It’s quite true,” am poor.’’ She led him to the lounge and made him sit down by her. He waited for her to speak, but she remained silent, her eyes fixed on her frail hands,_ringless— tears forced themselves under her eye- lids, but she kept them back. he murmured, “I “T guess,”” she said in a veiled tone, ‘you've no idea all I’ve been through, Dan, since I stood there in the church choir.’’ American though he was, and down on foreign customs—he wouldn’t. fight a duel—he got down on his knees and put his arms around her from there. “I know what you are, all right, Let- ty. You are an angel.’’ She gave way and burst into tears and hid her face on his shouldér, and sobbed. “T believe you do—I believe you do. You've saved my soul and my life. I'll go with vou—I"!l go—lI’ll go!”’ Later she told him how she would learn to cook and sew, and that to- gether they would stand in the door Need Attention in September or Face Will Stay Covered.

And he gazed, charmed at her, and drew her back to him again. ““You’ve made dad’s words come true.”’ Dan wouldn’t tell her what they were— he said she wouldn’t understand. ‘I nearly had to die to learn them myself,”’ he said. She leaned toward him, a slight shad- ow crossed her face as if memories laid a& darkling wing for a moment there. Such shadows must have passed, for she kissed him of her own accord on the lips and without a sigh. Side by side they sat for a long time. Higgins — opened a door, saw them, and stepped back, unheard. Ruggles came in, and his steps in the soft carpet made no sound; and he looked at the pair long and tenderly be- fore he spoke. They sat there before him like children, holding hands. Letty Lane’s hat lay on the floor. Her hair was a halo around her pale, charm- ing face; she had caught youth from the boy, she was laughing like a girl— they were making plams. And as the subject was love, and there was no money in the question, and as there was sacrifice on the part of each, it is safe to think that old Dan Bliair’s son was planning to purchase those things that stay above ground and persist in the hearts of us wll.

At the conclusion of the marriage the groom asked the price of the service. “Oh, well,” remarked the minister, “you can pay me whatever you think it is worth to you.” The negro turned and _ silently looked his bride over from head to foot; then, slowly rolling up the whites of his eyes, said: “Lawd. sah, you has done ruined me for life; you, has, for sure.”— Harper’s Magazine.

Special ‘to the Post-Dispatch. PHOENIXVILLE, Pa., Sept. 21.—Re- turning home from work in a nearby graphite mine last nighi, John Saus of Byers, a village, 11 miles from here, found the bodies of his wife and two daughters, Mary, 4 years old, and May, 1 year old, on the floor of the kitchen. In the yard lay Charles, his 10-year- old son, so seriously injured that he died a short time after being brought to the hospital. The skulls of the four had been crushed as though with an ax or club, but the identity of the murderer of the family is a mystery. The entire countryside has been aroused, and searching parties are scouring the hillside for a fellow work- man of Saus, who boarded with hira and who is missing. He was not at work yesterday afternoon. Money and Bank Book Missing. A small bank, containing $45, and the Saus bank book are missing.

ALL ITCHING STOPPED Sound Sleep After a Night of Much Distress, Mr. B., a Philadelphia gentleman, first hesitated about applying poslam after he had obtained it. ‘‘But,’’ he says, ‘‘afterward the itching became unbearable at night, so I arose and told Mrs. B. I would risk the poslam. i slept soundly all night. I used it three nights and three mornings, then discontinued. It is now over three months, and I have never had any re- turn of the eczema; never had any itching after the first application.’’ Poslam is the new skin remedy which so rapidly combats the worst cases of eczema: It likewise makes quick work of acne, herpes, tetter, sealy scalp, barber’s and every other form of itch. Occasional applications in small quantities will quickly banish pimples, hives, blackheads, blotches, etc. A special 50c package is prepared for mjnor skin troubles, and this, as

He had found the bodies of his wife and daughter on the first floor of his home and after re- covering from the terrible shock of coming suddenly upon the \lifeless forms of his loved ones, had called the name-of his son and searched the house for him, When the neighbors arrived he was standing over the prostrate form of his little boy. Coroner William McKinley was early on the scene and after a cursory exam- ihation, said: “Indications are that Mrs. Saus and her children were murdered by the mis- sing boarder, and the only motive at- tributed to the crime is robbery, $45 and a bank book on a Phoenixville bank, showing deposits of $800 being missing.”’ District Attorney Gawthrop of West- chester and County.
