He has changed also the fashion of wearing his hair. Formerly it was parted on the side and combed with a broad gweep over his forehead.

DIETZ'S DAUGHTER | TAKEN T0-TRAIN INDER A GUARD Deputies Fear Dam Defender Will Try. to Avenge Shoot- ing of Girl. By Associated Press. , ‘WINTER, Wis., Oct. 3—Myra Dietz, 2i-year-old daughter of John Dietz, who was shot Saturday when Sheriff Madden and two deputies fired on the Dietz children as they were driving to this town, was carrfed on a cot to the baggawe car of a train bound for a Chippewa Falla.hospital today. A score of special deputy sheriffs, armed with rifles, stood about the train watching for John Da.etz, who had ‘threatened to come and prevent the of- ficers from taking his daighter away. The girl’s condition is reported to be the same as last night, although her wounds are more serious than first re- ported. John Dietz is expected here any min- ute. Sheriff Madden's order of martial law is still in force, although he is not at- tempting to prevent the sending of press dispatches as he did Saturday. Every able-bodied man in Winter and the surrounding country has.been sworn in as a deputy sheriff and Winter and all roads approaching the town are guarded by men armed with rifles, | fearing an attacx from Dietz.

A trail of warranty deeds, promissory notes, insurance policies and deeds of trust, scattered through vacant lots in Walnut Park led to the recovery of a steel safe weighing 700 pounds which had been stolen from Joseph Giola’s saloon by burglars Juhe 4 last. Alfred McLain of 2660 East Union ave- nue.found a warranty deed at'the ruoad- side on Bircher road. Lying in the weeds a few feet distance was another deed. Nearby, McLain: picked.up papers until ‘he had accumulated three deeds, six deeds of trust, 67 insurance policies and one promissory note. In a ditch a few feet from the last paper he found the safe, which had been battered open. McLain turned the papers over to the police. Gioia identified the safe and papers. Two deeds of trust still are missing. Until Saturday the weeds in the vacant plot had been six feet high. A gang of city laborers cut the weeds Saturday, but made no report of the stranded safe. Gioia’s saloon at 5256 Patterson ave- nue was robbed on the night of June 4. After taking the money from the cash register the burglars~ loaded the safe in a wagon. The police followed the wagon tracks until they were lost in the streets. - Sunday advertising Bulletin 183 October. 2 tal Columns, All Kinds -t-Dispatch 09 Globe-Democrat ) ras.

LOUIS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1910. ICHINESE PRINCE IS EXISTING ON lo MEALS A DAY | Baby Emperor's Uncle Some- times Manages to Worry Along on a Snack an Hour. WORE HOBBLE PANTS Pale Blue Trousers, Seen During St. Louis -Visit, Had Ankle Rings. Prince Tsai Hsun, uncle of Hsuan Tung, China’s infant Emperor, spent 62 minutes in St.. Louis. Monday, be- tween meals. Sixty-two minutes is about as long as His Imperial Highnegs ever spends anywhere between meals, for meal- time with the Prince comes about once an hour when he is awake. Fif- teen *meals a day is the Prince’s average,.accofding to his attendants, and he exceeded this schedule on the trip of his special train from Wash- ington to St. Louls. Cantaloupe, which the Prince first tasted in San Francisco a few weeks ago, is his favorite order. The cook on his diner is likely to be called from his sleep at 2 or 3 o'clock any morning with an order to serve an extra big portion of Rocky Ford fruit in the private car of His Highness. Only One Can Address Him. The Prince’s special, which arrived in Union Station at 11:58 a. m., departed at 1 p. m. for Kansas City. It con- sisted of a baggage car, the busy diner, a sleeper for the Prince’s suite of a dozen, and the Prince’s own coach, which is Charles M. Schwab's special car Loretto, loaned for the tour of the United States. Into the Prince’s Yar no other person may enter save His Excellency, Chow Tadchi, imperial counselor. He has the exalted privilege of entering the car when he is sent for, of taking a seat when he is asked to, and even of speak- ing after he has been duly spoken to. That is a loftier Hberty than any other of the party enjoys. The’ rest of the travelers are Vice-Admiral Soh Cheh Ping of the Chinese Navy; Capts. Tseo Yu Ying, Tsang Yu Cheng, Chu Chen Tang, Tseng Chu Yi and Lin Tao Lun; Tutor Chaio Ho Ling of the im- perial family and three secret service men—Li Hing Ho, Chang Pu Ching and Hing Pah King. * Everyone in the party wore the flow- ing robes of the Flowery Kingdom, but the center of admiration was the black velvet cap of the Prince. In the front of the cap, occupying the place of a headlight, gleamed an eight-karat -dia- mond. The Prince’s robe was of black velvet, and was partly covered by an outer cloak of light silk. Baggy pantaloons of pale blue silk were encircled at the ex- tremities by ankle rings, giving a hob- ble-skirt effect. Only One Handshake. The only committee which met the ‘Prince’s party was composed of local Chinese, members of the Chinese Re- form Association. The Prince did not deign to shake hands even with their spokesman, but bowed a lofty how-de-do and. shook his own hands in slow and dignified fashion. Fred C. Hussman, superintendent of police property, who is the possessor of a badge conferred ‘on him by Hmpress An, got near enough to the Prince to exhibit it, and was rewarded with a, handshake, believed to have been the only on® that anybody in St. Louis got. Wanted to See Laborers’ Homes The local committee had a line of au- tomobiles for the party, but the P#ince had ordered one for himself by wire, and got into it after having first been escorted to the one in which the com- mittee planned to take him. In riding through the principal resi- dence streets, the Prince remarked that he had seen fine houses elsewhere. What he wanted to see, he said, was a specimen street of dwellings of the working class. Such a street was point- ed out from a short distance, and he expressed pleasure with its appearance. “What has become of the World's Fair buildings?’ was about the only question he asked: ‘Too bad,’’ he re- marked when told of their demolition. The Prince spoke to others only through his trusty counselor, Crow. In speaking, he addressed Chow and not the ultimate consumer of the conversa- tion. Speaking in this manner, the Prince confirmed the statement, made in an Associated Press dispatch, that he had bought two battleships in Pittsburg for his government. The price named in the dispatch was $15,000,000. “They are to be training ships for Chinese youth,”’ he said. As a message to St. Louls, the Prince said through Chow, “Wishing you good health, bring greetings from the Em- peror and the Kingdom to St. Louls and the United States.”’ On his return to the station a few minutes before 1 p. m., the Prince ex- presséd the opinion that the part of St. |Louls he had seen impressed him more favorably than New York or Chicago. “His Highness has not been impressed With the women he has seen in Ameri-‘ ca,” said Chow. The Prince its 9 years old. ‘ih | The special train started for Kansas City over the Missouri Pacific, in charge of C. L. Stone, passenger traffic man- "ROLVER DRIES, AWAY BURGLARS vr Edward Toman, Old, Then Leaps Out Win- dow to Get Help for Chase. LODGE. FUNDS SAVED Thieves Flee From Safe: Lad’s Father, Half-Shaved, Runs From Barber Chair. For routing two burglars by point- ing an unloaded revolver at them and threatening to shoot in defense of his mother and sister, Edward Tcman, 11 years old, has been voted a hero by those who live in the neighborhood of his home at 1766 Mis- souri avenue, Edward's father was away from home when the burglars visited the heuse Saturday night, presumably for the purpose ot robbing a safe which ecntains funds of a lodge of which Toman is treasurer. — In her eXcitement when she heard the burglars rummaging about the room which contained the safe, Mrs. William Kohler, Edward's sister, put her two @tamond rings in her mouth. When she saw Edward flourish the revolver at the burglars she gasped and almost swallowed the jewels. Boy Gets Revolver. Mrs. Toman and Mrs. Kohler had re- tired in a room adjoinmg the dining room, where the lodge funds are kept. Edward was in his room on the same floor. Awakened by a noise, Mrs. Toman sat up and listened. She heard someone mount the stairs which lead from the basement to the dining room. She awakened Mrs. Kohler and Edward, In the dining room they heard footsteps and whispered’ conversation, Mrs. Kohler, who is convalescent. from typhoid fever, left the bed for the first time in weeks and seized her rings. ~ Tip-toeing to the dresser in: his moth- et’s room, Edward took the empty re- volver from a drawer. He/stood close to the door of the darkened ‘dining toom' and counterfeiting a deep manly voice as best he could, he said: .“I’m going to shoot.’’ Boy Leaps From Window, There was a scurrying of feet in the dining room. Knowing that ais threat had had ef- fect, Edward planned to capture the robbers. He jumped from a bedroom window into the yard and ran to a barber shop a block away, where. his father was being shaved. J With a part of his beard remaining, Toman jumped from the chair and ac- companied the boy back to the house. The burglars had escaped by way of a dining-room window. Marks on the floor indicate that they were surpfsed while they were approaching the safe containing the lodge funds: MAYORALTY CANDIDATE SEEKS VOTES FROM A CELL IN JAIL Refused to Pay $1 Fine for Dis- orderly Conduct and Is Serv- ing Ten Days.

George Yeager, 50 years old, took the pledge for 50 years Monday in the Dayton Street Police Court to escape paying a fine of $3. Police- man Hug found him asleep Sunday morning on the sidewalk at Twelfth and Biddle streets. “I'm 60 years old,” ger, “and I’ve never been before.” “Will you promise not to drink for 60 years if I stay this fine?” asked Acting Judge George W., Riechmann. “Yes, Your Honor, I ” gaid Yea- ger fervently, and was eased, He lives at 2106 Henriettta /street.

Tempted by the police, who. sent therm an agent to pay double the usual price for two bottles of beer. James Powers ara his 20-year-old bride, Mary, of 3202 Magazine street were arrested Sunday after the purchases had been made with marked money. Mrs. Powers ,says that she did not know she was violating the law which n.akes it a misdemeanor to sell intox!- cants without a Heense, and she and her husband deny that they operated a place for Sunday lid-lifting, as the pclice charge. Clarence Penrington of 3518. Morgan street acted as the decvy, according to Dayton Street Station. At 10 a. m. Sunday, the police say, Pennington went ‘to the Powers home and piirchased from Powers a bottle of beer. - He. paid for It’ with ‘a ‘marked half-dollar and received 30 cents ip ‘change: Two hours later he again went there and bought another. bottle of beer, pay- ing for it’ with a marked quarter and receiving a hickel The seller in this case, ‘according to the’ police, was Mra, Powers.

Excise Commissioner Caulfield several times has refused to revoke Moenses of saloon keepers who were tempted by the police to sel! intoxicants on Sunday, but the point will be raised for the first time in court if Powers and his wife go to trial. A warrant charging Powers with sell- ing Nquor without a license was issued Monday, while one against his wife was refused.
