‘ Punishment ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2%. HE Associated Press received early today from Viadimir Tschertkoff, literary agent for the late Count Tolstoy, the last arti- cle written by the Count. It is en- titled “Effective Means.” It was written by Tolstoy in e Optina Monastery in November, shortly af- ter he began his self-imposed exile from home. The article was given to the As- sociated Press by M. Tschertkoff at the express wish of Count Tolstoy for dissemination to mankind. It says: 9 all I can against evil, which tortures the best spirits of our time. “T think the present effective war against capital punishment does not need forcing; there is no need for an expression of indignation against its immorality, cruelty and ab- surdity; every sincere, thinking per-— gon, everybody knowing from youth the Sixth Commandment. needs no explanation 6f its absurdity and im- morality; there is no need for de- scriptions of the horrors of execu- tions, as they only affect hangmen, so men will more unwillingly be- come executioners and governments will be obliged to compensate them more dearly for their services. “Therefore, I think that neither the expression of indignation against the murder of our fellow man, not the suggestion of its horror is mainly needed, but something totally dif- ferent. 1 A delusions which cannot be disproved, and we must communicate to the deluded mind knowledge which will enlighten and then the delusions will vanish by themselves. “What knowledge need we com- municate to the deluded human mind regarding the indispensableness, usefulness or justice of capital pun- ishment in order that said delusion may Gestroy itself? “Such knowledge itn my opinion is this: The knowledge of what is man, what his surrounding world, what his destiny; hence, what man can and must do and principally what he cannot and must not do. _ “Therefore, we should oppose cap- ital punishment by inculcating this AM naturally anxious to do S Kant well says, there are

FED O00 GRAINS OF CYANIDE; DIts for the Murder of Her , Keeper in October. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Nov. .26.—It took ow grains of cyanide of potassium, the most deadly poison known, to kill Gypsy Queen, a trick elephant, executed today for the murder of her keeper, Robert Schiel, Oct. 20. Less than one grain ordinarily is fatal to man and the first convulsive symptoms supervene almost before the victim can set down the glass from which he swallows. Gypsy Queen swayed backward and sorward, flapping her big ears for 10 minutes before she showed the least un- easiness. It. was 44 minutes before she was pronounced dead. The poison was givon tn three pailfuls of bran mash, in- which had been sprin- kled lw capsules, each of five grains of cyanide. She had been starved for 2% hours, and ate greedily. At the end of 10 minutes she shivered in all her vast bulk of 7265 pounds, her knees weakened, her trunk grew rigid, gue rolled her eyes and finally fell. In the next two minutes she got up four times, struggling against the chains that pound her. At the end of 2% minutes her breathing was imperceptible, for 4 minutes after her first swallow she winked when her trainer passed his hand before her eyes. That was the last sign of life. The Queén was born in Africa 87 years ago, and was one of the largest ele- phants in captivity. She stood 8 feet 7 inches high.

Nevertheless her trainer never lost faith in her.- To prove her docility he took her out today, a few minutes be- fore her execution and led her through rher paces. She seemed willing enough to perform and submitted to be caressed before she was led fo her death. EAST ST.

TRICK ELEPHANT 'DRUGGIST BEHIND PULE STOPS TWO RUBBERS CAREER Fires at Fleeing Thief, Pa- trolman Is About, Men Are in Cell. Charies Watson and Robert Whité, captured after they had robbed Jant- zen’s drug store at 441 Olive street, confessed at Police Headquartérs Satur- day that they were the men who robbed Bernard Canda, a South St. Louis butcher. Both robberies were committed after the pair had bourd with shoe- strings the man in charge of the stores. Jean Jantzen, proprietor of the drug store, entered at 10:10 p. m.; Friday, to find his brother and clerk, Joseph Jantzen, tied with shoestrings in a cor- ner, while the two robbers were going through the cash register. Jantzen, who had a revolver in his pocket, did not hestitate. He ran out- side and stood behind a telephone pole, where he would be in range to fire at the men when they came out of the store. Patrolman on the Scene. He had only an instant to wait, for both men ran out, but instead of ap- pearing at the front door, which opens on the northwest corner of Olive street and Newstead avenue, they emerged from tna side door on Newstead avenue and started to run north. Jantzen fired a bullet toward the near- est man, then fortified his body with the pole as the man turned and returned his fire. Then the druggist fired again. The robber fired two more shots, then ran to Washington boulevard and turned east. At thia point Patrolman Walsh, on his way from his home to the New- stead Avenue Station, opportunely took up the vursuit. The policeman drew his revolver, but seeing other persons on the street, did not dare to shoot. He over- took the fugitive at Washington boule- vard and Pendleton avenue, in front of a fasnionable boarding school for girls, and a ctowd from the neighborhood gathered before the arrival of a patrol wagon. Tells Name of Accomplice. By the time the prisoner, Charles Watson, got to the station, he had \told the name of his accomplice, Robert White, and his rooming place, the Mer- amec Hotel at Twelfth and Pine streets. By the time policemen reached the ho- tel, White had returned. He was stand- ing in his room, with two revolvers on the dresser, when policemen entered. He had $14.08, while Watson had $6.60. The druggist’s cash register had con- tained about $20. White confessed his part in the crime after being identified by Joseph Jantzgen.: It toox some questioning to get the pair to admit the butcher-shop rob- bery. When they confessed it, they de- nied that they got $165, as was reported to the police, from Canda’s shop at 2204 California avenue. They said they got only $28.43. Watson said he was a machinist from Pennsylvania. White, who is from Spo- ros Wash., had a card, showing mem- ‘> in the Loyal Order of Moose.

SWOPE PARK IS USED Similar Plans for Forest Park Considered at Post-Dis- patch Suggestion. The People’s Country Club is the name popularly given in Kansas City to the Swope Park free golf course, now in its fifth season, which will be replaced next spring by the new 18-hole links. The new Kansas City course, a dia- Post-Dispatch a few days ago, is in some ways a model for the proposed public links in Forest Park, which the Post-Dispatch has advocated as a need- ed addition ‘to the public recreation facilities of St. Louis. St. Louis, as the Post-Dispatch has pointed out, is limited in its‘places of public enjoyment by the lack of bath- ing beaches, This tncreases the need for such means of healthful exercise as it is possible to provide. Kansas City, similariy located, has realized this fact, and has already made golf a people’s game, while its new links will rank among the largest and finest in the country. Since Bept. 5, 1906, the Board of Park Commissioners of Kansas City has main- tained a free, public golf course at Swope Par’. This park, much similar to Forest Park in St. Louis, contains more “han 130 Oacres. Nine-Hole Course Laid A pe‘ition to the Park Board, , public discussion of the. question, caused the board, to construct the first links. A nine-hole course was laid out, the professionals of the three other golf organizations of the city contri- bubuting their services fur the survey. The course was not made elaborate There are no artificial hazards. Out there is a ditch, some hills and long grass. The course has not required much money, for its maintenance. An iginal supply of eandboxes, cups and flags has not been replenished. About 2% lockers were installed in the shelter house and shower baths arranged. A fee of $6 a year is charged for each locker, but three or four players can use one locker. The holding of a locker is not. required, and anyone may use the links. The public course became popular at once. Interest increased rapid! and Saturday afternoons and: Sundays® hun- dreds of players were on the links. The first tournament was held two years ago, with about a dozen entries. This year,~there were more than ‘60, and ‘the championship cup wae won by a man who had played the game three months. He won it with a score almost perfect, using one club. of. his own manufacture. - No Piay Sunday Afternoon. Four thundred players on a nine-hole course make things rather crowded. Playing on the old links on Saturday and Suday afternoons this summer had its drawbacks. There alco was some complaint, due to the location of the course, directly in front of the main entrance to the park, and practically including the lawn of the shelter house. The Park Board decided it would not be fair to give the golfers exclusive use of this tract all day Sunday. Ac- cordingly, the golf playing had to stop at 1 p. m., on Sunday. The links were too small anyway, the players said: Why not have a larger course. better locker and clubhouse equipment and some hazards? So they organized the Swope Park Golf Club, composed chiefly of locker holders. An ‘initiation fee of $ was charged, with dues of 10 cents a month. The movement began immediately for a new public golf course. The Park Board, in answer to public petition, decided to build a new 18-hole course with a locker house and shower baths. Work on this course ‘has be- gun. The 18 holes will be laid out around the Lake of the Woods, and the athletic field in the unimproved part of the park. The proposed course will require the clearing of small trees and underbrush from about 100 acres of the park property. The estimated cost will he about $18,000. This money will be appropriated out of the regular park improvement fund, ‘raised by regular park district taxes) . Only $5000 of it has been appropriated so far, and this is all that will be spent immediately. It will be enough to put the course in playing condition. 4he course will be finished Aradually, probably by a year from next spring but at least nine holes wil] be ready for use by next June. New Course on 140 Acres. The total area of the new course will be 140 acres. The plan of the Park board engineer provides for a course of 5187 yards, but this probably will be in- creased to 6000 yards. Its topography is ideal for golf, the professionals say. There will be such a variety of hazards that it will be necessary for the players to master the use of all the clubs. No fee will be charged for playing, but a cnarge, probably smaller than that now made, will be required for the use of lockers and the shower baths. This charge will be made to cover the cost of towels and. upkeep of the clubhouse equipment. It has cost the city about $200 a month to maintain the course. The mainte- nance of the new course is expected to cost not more than $500 a month. There

OTHERS WILL FOLLOW President Moore of South Side Terminal.Says Action Means Victory. The St. Leais Southwestern Railway (Cotton Belt) has just filed in Washing- ton tariffs showing that it will resume Railway Jan. 1 in defiance of the Ter- minal Association of which it is à mem- ber. The Cotton Belt is an Edwin Gould property. The fight on the Manufactur- ers’ Railway, the Busch South Side terminal, was. started by the Iron Mountain, a George Gould property, and that road has seen most persistent in opposition of the Busch road. Accompanying the tariffs are affidav- its from officers of the Cotton Belt de- claring that the attitude of the Termin- al Association toward the Manufactur- ers’ Railway is “unfair and discrimin- atory.”’ Same Rate After The tariffs become attestite , 1 and will enable manufacturers located on the Manufacturers’ “Railway the same rate for business coming in or going out over the Cotton Belt as in- dustries located on other lines now en- joy. The Terminal, and the roads composing it, have for many months refused to make a through rate for in- dustry on the Manufacturers’ Railway and such work done by. the Manufactur- ers’ Railway in addition to the rate in- dustries located: on other tracks paid for full survice. Under the agreements with the Cotton Belt, the Manufacturers’ Railway switching charge will be absorbed the same as other lines abserb the switch- ing charge. Three Roads Expected to Follow. George F. Moore, president of the Manufacturers’ Railway, told 1. Post- Dispatch reporter that he had tnforma- tion that at least three more roads were planning to make with the South Side termina! system the same concession as had the Cotton Belt. The Manufacturers’ company now has pending before the Interstate Commerce Commission an action to force all rail- roads entering St. Louis to make traf- fic connections with it, or establish the through rate with this line. : This action was begun last winter after representatives of all the rail- roads, at a meeting in the offices of the Terminal Association, withdrew their agreements by which the railroads ab- sorbed the ..anufacturers’ Railway switching charges, thereby imposing a ..gher rate on the industries on that terminal, The fight is said by raflroad officials to have -already cost the Busch road $100,000 In costs of litigation and attor- neys’ fees. Testimony of August A. Busch, Presi- dent Moore and officials of many lines has been beard before Examiner Hiill- yer in St.:Louis for this sult. Cottor ‘Belt Cannot Be Ousted. .e Cotton Belt Railroad at the time * the cancellation of the tariffs was not a member of the Terminal Associa- tion and while all roads withdrew their traffic agreements with the Manufac- turers’, a joker was discovered in the Cotton Belt’s new tariffs by which it .ept up its dealings with, the Manu- facturers’. Last August the Cotton Belt entered the Terminal Association, but before it was admitted the Terminal forced it to make a new tariff by which it actually withdrew its traffic connections with the Manufacturers’. Once the Cotton Belt was in the Terminal it could not be put out, and trrangements were speedily under way for a resumption of the traffic agreements with the South }Side terminal. These were concluded when the tariffs were secretly filed in Washington, Nov. 17. When Edwin Gould was in St. Louis six weeks ago he was met by President Moore, who explained the situation re- garding the Interstate Commerce action and urged Gould to re-enter into traf- fic agreements with the manufacturers. It is said Gould at that time practically agreed to do so and local officials of the company began preparation of the new tariffs. Victory, Says Moore, President Moore; when told of the fact that the filing of the tariffs in Wash- ington had become known, readily ad- mitted the action of the Cotton Belt. “We will be on a basis with the Cot- ton Belt after . -n, 1,” said Mr. Moore, ‘that will give industries located on our lines the sameé rates as industries lo- cated on the Terminal or other lines now have. The railroads have been at- tempting to force us to collect our switching rate in addition to the St Louis rate. That question is now before the Interstate Commerce Commission. “We have kept an account of all bus- iness since the railroads withdrew their tariffs nearly a year ago. If we win, as I think this action of the Cotton Belt indicates without question that we will, we will collect. this overcharge from the railroads. If we should lose, it would have to be’ paid by the industry. “The whole question dates back a long time. The Iron Mountain once had all thé business of the Manufacturers’ Rail- way, operating it under lease. At that time the Manufacturers served few in- dustries besides the Amheuser-Busch Brewery. The service was so poor that Mr. Busch felt that he uad to operate the road himself. As soon as he began to branch out and extend his line to

By Wire From the Bureauv of the Pest-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Representa-. tive Philip Pitt Campbell of Kansas yes- terday urged on President Taft the neces- sity of curtailment of the franking priv- ilege by members of Congress. He sug- gested that the President embody in his message a criticism of the abuse and follow it with what Postmaster-Gen- eral Hitchcock will have to say on the game subject in his annual report. So flagrant have been some of the abuses of the franking privilege report- ed to the Postoffice Department that the time-honored story of the congressman who franked his soiled linen to his home and his freshly laundered clothing back to Washington ts no longer regarded as stating the limit. Only a few years ago Senator B. R. Tillman of South Caro- lina franked home a 30-pound typewrit- er. The postoffice put up a cry regard- ing this extraordinary weight. They de- manded postage at the fourth-class rate. “Blest if I'll pay it,” said Tillman. “It's a Government typewriter, anyhow. Washington Let the postoffice confiscate it” One Southern franked a two-gallon jug of molasses carefully packed in the middle of a case of pub- lic documents. The molasses came through safely, but when the postoffice learned of its transmission they sent word to the congressman not to repeat the performance. Only last year Serator Smith of South Carolina was visiting in Florida. While there Seuator Taliaferro presented him with two pineapples. The South Caro- linan wanted to:send them to his wife. He started to frank them, but the post- office warned him in time, Ex-Representative W. D. Vandiver, al- though he has been out of Congress for a number of years, is still called by his political friends in Missouri .“Pants’’ Vandiver, due to the allegation made against him in one of his campaigns for Congress, that he. franked through the mail a pair of trousers. “Pants’’ were an issue in the Missouri campaign that year and probably had considerable to do with the candidate’s detent.

him. ¥ou might call the Mississippi the sacred Ganges from the attitude of the Terminal toward it. “When we told a year ago-of plans to build a line on the east side of the river and. bring coal into St. Louis for 3 cents instead of 53, which is now paid, the roads determined we must be crushed. They withdrew their agree- ments by which the Manufacturers’ Railway switching charges were ab- sorbed and industries located on our lines were faced with a proposition to pay $2 a car more than other indus-

tries paid. “Tf successful, this meant the an- nihilation of the Manufacturers’ road state Commerca Commision. It is there now.

Clarke, of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain, once threatened to start a brewery in opposition to Mr. Busch’s industry unless Mr. Busch came to his terms. Mr. Clarke declared, ‘The Iron Mountain can go into the brewery business as well as Mr. Busch can go into the railroad business. ‘But we kept on fighting, and now we have won. “My information is that several other railroads will file tariffs similar to that of the Cotton Belt within a few days and when it starts, I think it will be pretty general. . “In my opinion the attorneys for the railroads told them we were certain to win our «case before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the Cotton Belt, which had always shown an at- titude of fairness toward us as far as possible, decided to renew business with us before the Commission compelled it to. Cheapens South Side Property. “The fight the Terminal has made on the Manufacturers’ has done great in- jury to South St. Louls. Property val- ues are not nearly so high there, sim- ply because manufacturers were afraid to settle on our lines because of the fight the Terminal was making on us. With the resumption of the traffic agreements this will be changed and property values should increase to eomething like the values in North St. Louis. carrying out his plans for an East Side line which will mean a reduction of over 2 cents a ton on bringing * from the LUnois Helos.“ In his testimony regarding the serv- ice given by the Iron Mountain road, August Busch testified before Examiner Hillyer that the Iron Mountain did not have sufficient equipment and that Mr. Busch bought several engines to enable the Iron Mountain to handle its pbusi- ress. “They had old teapots,” testified Mr. Busch, “and when we bought new en- gines for them, they took those engines off to some other part of the road and sent the teapots back fo us.” Mr. Busch at this hearing described in detail his plans to extend the Manu- facturers’ Railway to make it an ex- tensive terminal system, serving all ‘of South St. Louis, and how, when nis plans became known, the railroads com- bined to defeat them. Only Fair, Says Farrell, Henry EB. Farrell, traffic manager of the Cotton Belt, was hurrying from his office when a Post-Dispatch reporter called there. The St. Louis Southwestern Railway has carefully investigated the situation in South St. Louis,” said Mr. Farrell, “and its convinced that it is proper and fair to give recognition to the Manufac- turers’ Railway Co. We are of. the opin- ion that it should be given full recog- muon and we have proceeded accord- ingly. "We hope and believe the people of South St. Louls wil] appreciate and fully understand what our action means to that important part of the city,”
