Josephus Stephan, the pastor, denounced the dancing pavilion and cafe at Suburban Garden as one of the most corrupting influences on the young life of St. Louis and St. Louis County. | ' The Rev. Mr. Stephan complained to the Post-Dispatch about conditions ex- isting at the garden, and on Saturday evening he visited the placein company with a Post-Dispatch reporter to in- vestigate conditions as reported to him by members of his flock. After watching a well-dressed crowd of young men and women dancing ami! gense cigar and cigarette smoke, the Rev. Mr. Stephan prepared an address, warning his charges against the bane ful influences at the resort. He went- there with the reporter at 11:40, p. m. and stayed there until 12:05 a. m. On the dancing floor a hundred or more couples participated in waltzes and two-steps. Between dances they indulged in drinks, served by waiters. In the hall were many girls who ap- peared to be not more than 16 years 6ld, some of whom were nearly intoxi- cated. = 4 Lfkened to Spider Web. The Rev.

are confronted,” he continued. “The Street cars are sufficient evidence of the goings-on there in the wee hours of the morning. Men who have been shocked by some things they have witnessed have communicated to me their conviction of the moral danger of the institution, and other men down in the city streets of St. Louis are quietly telling’ their associates extraordinary things. “As a commercial enterprise we hav2 nothing to do with the presence in our its ap- purtenances, but.as a ‘moral influence, endangering the youth of our com- munity and of our city, it is time a voice of warning is lifted. We do not believe that young men, and especially young women, should be allowed to en- ter into the seductiveness of such a place without the warning voice of those who eis osc the moral danger.”’ eo Limit on Drinks. The Post-Dispatch reporter found at the dancing pavilion that no limit is placed on the amount of drinks young men are permitted to buy for young women. The drinking tables are ar- ranged about the dancing floor in con venient form. Dancers. entér the space set aside for dancing at a common gate. qa,

There a charge of 5 cents'a couple is} collected for each dance. Six tickets are sold for 25 cents. When a dance is finished, gates are raised at various points about the in- closure to permit the dancers to reach. the tables quickly. Plenty of waiters ‘are in ¥ée&diness to serve. Highbalis and bottled beer are the favorite bev- but mixed drinks can-be had in a cafe above the dance fléor. In this cafe a better class of customers frequent. It is reached by a stairway on the south side of the dancing pavilion, but not from the dan- cing floor. A guard is always stationed at the foot of the stairs leading to the cafe. This person exercises a fine discrimina- tion in admitting persons. A frequent- er explained to a Post-Dispatch re- porter that the management did not en: courage the admittance of all dancers to the cafe. He said those who looked all right were permitted to go upstairs. |} He said a ticket was.formerly used to gain admittance to the cafe, but this feature was recently dispensed with. Saturday night the cafe in Subur- ban Garden was packed to the doors when Rev. Mr. Stephan arrived. It was near midnight and all tables were plentifully, supplied with drink Each table was surrounded by young men and women who were erijoying their drink and the music and song furnished ‘by, four negroes. Some of the drinkers ‘had several drinks be- fore them, as word had been passed arcund that the .“lid’’ would be pressed on tight at midnight. Private Rooms a Feature. In thls room many young men and women cast their arms about each other in eareless abandon. From this room several private rooms operted out. These rooms were alsp. fre- quented by drinkers, some of whom were partaking of meals. All the doors to the private dining rooms were open. Inquiry of persons who are known to visit. the cafe frequently shows that the doors to the private rooms are never closed. “The waiters would not permit that," said a man who admitted he passed most of his Saturday and Sunday nights at the resort. “You see,” mh said, “they have to have some private rooms. Some of the people who come here don't want to mix with the crowd In the cafe.”’ Girl's Downfall Is Told. The pavilion is operated by the four Ruhiand brothers. John Ruhiland super- intends the floor, while his brothers, Charles, Joseph and Ben ‘play in the orchestra. The entire Suburban property is leased by Jake and Sol Oppenheimer who sub- let the dancing floor. The Oppenheimer's conduct the bars and cafe.

NILE BETS. “LEAD TO ARREST. OF MAIL GLERK Confesses to Robbing: Registered Letters While Working on Railroad Mail Route.

If Daniel G. Read hadn’t been fond of betting on auction penuchle and bowl- ing he might never have been arrested on a charge of rifling registered mail. Read is a railway mail clerk, and lives in Cape Girardeau. His run is on the Cape Girardeau, Carruthersville & Leachville division. Registered letters have disappeared oc- casionally on. that run for the last three years. Sometimes it would be six months between complaints. What be- came of the letters was for a long time a mystery, E, D. Howe, a postoffice — at Cape Girardeau, was assigned to the case, With C. L. Patterson of St. Loufs. He Liked to Bet. There was nothing to direct suspicion to Read except his fondness for betting. Almost invariably he lost. The in— spectors think the players in the pe- nuchle games and bowling matches had an understanding with those who bet Read that Read’s side was to lose. The inspectors kept Read under sur- veillance a long time, but could get no positive proof of his guilt. There came a time when he was unable to pay some gambling losses and charges were preferred against him for being in debt, under the rules of the depart- ment, pened Way for Inquiry. This Seanad the wey for an inquiry about Read’s sources of income. He got $100 a month and supported his mother, sister, wife and three children. When pressed to know how he did this, he said that a brether-in-law in Pop- lar Bluff had lent him. $250, The inspectors got an affidavit from the brother-in-law that he had ‘not made the loan, and when Read was confronted with this he admitted thefts from registered letters. He said he had taken abeut $550.

———— In the warrant sworn iat here against him the specific complaint is that he took $8 Dec. 4 from a letter addressed to the Postmaster here from a post- 4, gore in a small Missouri town. Read’s mother is a cousin of A. C. Stewart, counsel for the St. Louis Union Trust Ce. and formerty president of the Police Board: The prisoner asked a deputy to telephone him to come and f. sign his $1000 bond.

A temporary injunction restraining the Standard Reduction and Chemical Co. from operating its garbage plant at Sands, near St. Charles, until new ma- chinery for the suppression of all odors is installed, was issued by Circuit Judge Wurdemann at Clayton Monday. The injunction, applied for by the resi- dents of St. Charles on account of the offensive odors given off by the plant, becomes effective at noon Saturday, Jan. 14. An injunction was issued against the Wabash Railroad restrain- ing it ‘from delivering any garbage to the plant after noon Friday. \ P. M. Anderson, secretary of ‘the com- pany, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the company would comply immediately with Judge Wurdeman’s order and in- stall $10,000 worth of new machinery. With the additional equipment, he de- clared, there would be no odors. from the garbage plant. The Standard Reduction and Chemica! Co. has the contract for the reduction ef the St. Louis garbage at 27 cents 2 ton. The company has been trying for more than. two years to perfeet its plant for reduction of the garbage, but has met one difficulty after another. The plant has been rebuilt several times. The total cost has been more than

Save time at morning and at night and all through the day, because of relieving the household of the excessive caretaking demanded by old-fashioned heating methods, besides putting. a stop to the endless. drudgery caused by the flying coal-dirt, ash-dust and soot which stoves, grates and hot-air furnaces spread through a house.

Most people eat most foods with- out discrimination—it matters little what. Few stop to think what that food does for them. This is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reck- less disregard of the proper choice of foods, rapid eating and improper mastication, are the unquestioned causes of all stomach disorders from the slight ache to the malignant cancer. There ig nothing more revolting than a dyspeptic stomach—a _ very vat for putrefaction, sending forth its poison throughout the entire sys-

the breath, souring the taste, dead- ening the muscles, incapacitating the liver and kidneys in their work, debilitating the heart, choking the lungs. and clogging the bowels. All of these disagreeable and dan- gerous conditions are due to the im- proper digestion of food and the con- sequent assimilation of poison. What else can be expected? If the food lies in the stomach, if the system is constipated, fermentation ig the natural outcome. It shows itself in sour, watery fisings, belchings, heartburn and painful breathing. There is only one way to relieve this condition. If the stomach re- fuses ta digest your food put some- thing into it that will.’ Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets are nothing but di- gestives. They are not a medicine. They work when the stomach will not.

Thompson had. reported: to the po- lice that her son, Willie, 15 years old, had come to his home at 4647 Sacra- mento avenue so intoxicated that he Was unable to walk. - Mrs. Thompson found the boy craw!- ing about the yard on his hands and knees. She detected a strange odor in his breath. Special policemen of the Mounted District decided that it was the odor of absinthe. | Disclosures made by Willie when he became sober caused his own arrest and the detention of four of his boy friends. Liquor Hoard in Cave. At ‘first he was’ able-only to repeat: “The cave, the cave.’’ Later. when he ‘became more coherent, he told the po- licemen that they would find the loot: of a saloon and grocery robbery in a cave which he and the other boys had tun-' neled under Margaretta avenue near Shreve avenue. In the cave policemen found 2 bottles of intoxicants, including cordials, ver- mouth, absinthe and gin; 20 dime novels, 36.corncob pipes, four pounds of chewing ‘tobacco, 10 cigars, six: silver. spoons and six gilt enameled sign letters which formed the word saloon. The police say young Thompson told them that hé and one of his chums en- tered and robbed the abandoned saloon and store at Taylor and Kossuth ave-| nues, - formerly occupied by A. B. Mc-T Donald. The stock had been left in the store pending a purchaser’s application a. dramshop license, Thompson gave the police the key.,to the build- ing, saying; he found it on the street. .Four Others Arrested.

As a rule he retails these things to Illinois farmers at less than the prevailing prices. His two- room home gives but little evidence of the large faith merchants mani- fest in him.

Why, I wrote once to a St. Louis house for a suit of clothes. Said I wanted something about $18. They sent me back two suits, one at $25 and one at $28. I just kept both of them, and then the firm prosecuted me. I beat them in court, and I haven’t paid for those suits yet.

This is the imposing obstacle _ © the restriction of the House of Representa- to its present size. _| There is some misinformation, some mislead- mg argument and some little duplicity in the Arepori⸗ which apparently come from. the ad- ” vocates of a larger body.

There would be three less jobs for ambitious Missouri statesmen. To retain these three as well as one from Indiana, one from Maine and others from other states whose census gains were not large, wil] cost increases in the num- ber from New York, Peansylvania, Michigan a and states whose census gafns were greater. _ ‘The whole argument for an increase is based --©n a diminution in quantity of membership from the states that made small gains or none.

Thomas Newman, a 19-year-old boy, was shot and killed by Patrolman Schrameyer early Friday ‘stolen brass Of a value so insignificant as to re- He paid no attention to Schrameyer’s command to halt and the patrolman, who was prompted by suspicion to give the command, fired. The case is another aggravated instance of the misuse of frearms by a policeman. A ‘patrolman, who recently killed a negro under similar circum- stances, was exonerated by the station sergeant, who assumed the functions of jadge and jury ip the case, and seems to have renderét a final de- cision. * ‘The law of the State becomes — interest · ing in view of the customary practice. Oddly The Supreme Court has laid down the rules which | % contro] in such cases several] times and in the case’ of the State vs. Montgomery,. decided Nov. 29 last, reaffirmed them. In so doing it also affirmed a sentence of two years for manslaugh- ter against a deputy constable of Greene County. The Court cites the rule laid down fin State vs. Dierberger (96, Mo.) whare it was said: The officer, when making an arrest, may, of course, defend himself, as may any other person who is assaulted; but the law does not stop here; the officer. must of necessity be the aggressor; his mission is not accomplished when he wards off the assault; he must press forward and accomplish his object; he is not bound to put off the arrest until a more favorable time * * * but if he used more force than was reasonably necessary for that purpose, and shot deceased while resisting ar- rest, he was guilty of manslaughter in the fourth degree. The cases are so clear that the only question of interest in. the shooting of Newman is the of- ficer’s discretion as to the amount of force neces- sary. In this respect the Court says: But he (the officer) must always remember that the life of a human being is sacred in the eyes of the law; that it is the first and greatest right of a citizen, and that he must not be deprived of it except under circum- stances of extreme necessity. The Court further adopts and makes the law of the State the rule laid down in Wharton on Homicide (3d Ed. Sec. 502) which is: It has been held that the amount of force ‘ and the employment of the usual means of making an arrest and detention within the compass of the means ordinarily resorted to for securing one found committing a criminal act must be left to the diséretion and. judg- ment of the officer, where he is engaged in discharging a public and official duty, and is actuated by no ill will. But the prevailing rule seems to be that the law does not clothe an officer with authority to judge arbitrarily of the necessity of killing a prisoner, and that he cannot kill unless there is necessity for it; and that whether there is such a necessity is a question of fact for the jury in a prosecu- tion for the killing, to be determined from al] the evidence of the case, a doubt as to the non-existence of guch necessity entitling the officer to an acquittal. That is the law of Missouri. How far removed the case of Newman is from anything the law seems to contemplate as justi- fied killing is obvious. How lax the prosecuting authorities are for ignoring the case of the negro is equally apparent. When a patrolman kills anyone under any cir- cumstances the proper procedure under the law of Missouri is an inquest by, a coroner’s jury, a submission of the case to. the grand jury, and the indictment and prosecution of the patrolman in the manner applicable in the case of any accused person. No judgment is to be entered against the police; even what is a custom need not be indicted. But stir himself to the end that life in the community may be safeguarded and the law of the State en- forced. = = % —wae oe

‘= |] > -~. = THE — BEFORE THE SENATE. A. question hasbeen raised whether a two-~- to unseat Senator Lorimer, or ‘will a majority vote suffice to declare his election void, It is contended that if the motion seeks to coniiect Mr. Lorimer with the alleged corrupt practices a two- thirds vote will be necessary to carry it. If, how- ever, the motion merely annuls the election with- out involving Mr. Lorimer as an accessory a ma- jority vote wil] be sufficient. The investigation conducted by the Senate sub- committee did not’ undertake to implicate Mr. Lorimer as a participant in the. indiscriminate purchase of votes.at Sp?ingfield. Whether signifi- cant or not, it happens to be a fact that Mr. Lori- mer did not volunteer to testify. In this bi- latera] delinquency the subcommittee and Mr. Lorimer seem equally at fault. It is not apparent, then, in the premises, how the ‘question of Mr. Lorimer’s personal knowl- edge of the alleged corruption or of his active participation in the bribery proceedings may com- petently be raised. It is, to be sure, a variant or nuance of the theme, which easily might have been developed in a more analytical and comprehensive etude. It wasn’t. The effort now to complicate the Senate’s action by intruding into the con- troversy a phase of the affair which has never been officially probed or considered seems to he not wholly disingenuous. The question of who did the bribing is not be- fore the Senate. The question for that body to; pass upon is, was there bribery in the election of Mr. Lorimer? This question has been an- | swered to the satisfaction of the entire country. excepting the Federal Senate. = = * ,

The proposed new charter @s well as the old one assesses the entire cost of reconstruction of streets against the property within the district fixed by the Board of Public Improvements, which is all wrong,,unjust and a burden upon the prop- erty owners who have once paid for the im- provement of their respective streets. When a property owner has once paid for the improve- ment of his street he hag done all that should be expected of him in the way of increasing the value of his property for taxation and for the benefit of the public and the city. | Since the city charges license for the use of its streets (for the improvement of which the prop- erty owner has paid) and whereas the city has full control of its streets and granta franchises and permits for the use of same, it (the city) should at least bear a part (one-half or more) of the most of reconstruction of {te streets, and should also pay for the entire cost of maintaining and repairing .of all streets. There is no good reason why the city should reap all the benefits of improvement of streets as well as taxes and saddle the entire costs of re- construction of same on the property owner after said streets have been worn out by the public for which the city charges licenses. The Board of Public Improvements should be empowered to order making of mew streets and assess the total expenses of such improvements against property, as now provided by charter; but’ should not be empowered to order the reconstruc- tion of streets and compel the property owners to pay the entire cost of same, for ‘reegons herein- above stated. There should also be some check or limit to the powers of the Board of Public Improvementge, also some redress for property owners where the re- construction of streets is not deemed necessary by a‘majority of the property owners in the tax- able district. The above applies to reconstruction of streets and affects the small and medium home and prop- erty owner more than any one else. : REAL ESTATE OWNER.

Be Merciful. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I don't see why more is not done to alleviate the sufferings of the dumb animals? I never was ir any city where there are so many crippled, half- starved horses to be seen on the gtreets. Why haven't the citizens enough pride and sympathy to give the Humane Society more assistance so they could do better work? For instance, I was on Grand avenue yesterday and saw in the drive- way of the Third Baptist Church a poor horse that had dropped dead from starvation. It had been trying to pull an overloaded wagon of ashes and refuse, and had succumbed in the effort. It was a pit‘ful sight and looked like a rebuke from the Almighty, happening ag it did in the shadow of the church. We could all do much good if we would put forth every effort to help those poor, helpless creatures that can’t help themselves. Let us hope something more will be done in the near future. 7 C. R.

Judging from the thousands who fly out Pine, Chestnut, Olive, Lindell boulevard, ete, at 40 and 60 miles an hour, his membership must be very limited. No one is safe any more on the streets; anyone is liable to be killed. If there were an automobile law, as many of your readers advocate, regulating all autos with an instrument to 10 miles an hour and a con- tinuous ringing bell attached to them to warn people of their approach, there would be no deaths nor arrests. The people and aute owners would both be safe. R. R. B. Cost of Living. Te the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. I am a salaried' mah’s wife and, becoming alarmed at the increasing grocery and meat bills, | began to investigate. I found I was not extrava- pant nor’ wasteful. I discovered that my grocer did not give honest weights: His prices I believed were high, as are ‘all West End grocers who have automobile delivery wagons and provide fer the families of affluence... But could I come down to dealing with a quiet little grocery store where the “slim pockets” go? When I thought of reliev- ing the. pressure of my good, uncomplaining hus- band, I quickly laid aside my pride and began to trade with a grocer who makes no show, but carT+., riés excellent meats, good clean stock of groceries, and above all gives correct weights and measures. His prices are very reasonable. I pay 5 cents less per peck for potatoes, 7 cents per pound less for spring chickens killed and dressed to order, 6 cents less for butter and eggs. In fact, I save a few cents on everything purchased. As a re- sult. my grocery bills are nearly one-half less than with. the so-called “best” dealer. What a pleasure to eat a fresh dressed broiler at 18 cents per pound, when formerly you paid 25 cents per pound for a chicken that from appearance and taste, you knew was a cold storage fowl. My new grocer is in a fashionable neighborhood. There are a great many apartments houses where dwell families of salaried men, and if they bought of him their bills would drop down to almost nor- mal figures, The “fancy” goods he does not carry could;. of course, be bought elsewhere. Let the fashionable folk buy at the “best” stores. They are able to pay the fancy prices, maybe, but let.the every-day folk trade with the honest, unpretentious grocer MRS. D. E. C. Best Citizens a Chestnut. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you allow me the uge of your People’s Column to express my disapproval of the ex- pression. so often used, vis: Foremost citizens, prominent citizens, best citizens, etc. While the expression may be.correct in the intention to describe a group of good men, yet it carries with it a digtinction which should not apply to other, good men—a kind of superiority and inferiority. ‘The expression has a savor of class distinction that is misleading. There are many men, In the humbler line ot life, who are readers and deep thinkers, to whom such an-expression must be ve and offensive. In modern vulgar par- lance, it:-has become a “chestnut,” and should be obliterated from the common, vocabulary.

LESH MAJESTY IS DEAD. From the New York World. Lese majesty in these United States is dead. WNot:only is it dead legally morally, ag shown by the comment on the Supreme Court's decision in the Roosevelt Mbel case against the World. We had heard no criticism of the courts decision. On the contrary, it is universally commended, not only by newspapers but by public men. There is nobody left to defend Mr. Rooseveilt’s action in asserting the power of the President to employ the authority of the Federal Government to atifie free speech and muzzle the press. Getting At the Young Idea. From the London Evening Standart. A Servian teacher, M. Medakovitch, has instituted the most successful meth- od of teaching yet @iscovered. In his school each pupil is provided with a chocolate alphabet, and as soon as he can put his name together correctly he is allowed to eat it. Word-making is taught on the same plan. M Medako- vitch’s pupils, on an average, can read fitiently in three days. Net Eneouraging. From the Chicago Record-Herald. A farmer has been elected Speaker of the Illinois.

Vicente, a leader of the Navajo, anda man known by almost everyone who has touched the eastern half of the reserva- tion within the last 20 years. this departed lord of the ungrassed manor. “Some years ago,”" Mr. Cotton’ says, “the Santa Fe induced Vicente to bring @ band of 230 of his men off the desert and work as laborers on the railroad. They were down here several weeks, and Vicente had been in the habit of occasionally sending his wife over to the store with an erder of some kind against his salary. “Well, the end of the month came around, and one day Vicente himself own had been deducted the value of the goods given his wife. He seemed surprised at this, made one or two lit- tle protests, and rede off down the railroad. An heur later he reappeared at the head of his 230 braves, and the whole cavaicade thundered past the store and into the desert whenes it had come, ‘It never came back. “Just what had offended Vicente we never knew. It may be that he had not intended to pay at all, thinking we might have made his wife a few pres- ents; but the lIikelier theory te that we offended him by deducting the amount from his check, when his dignity as & chief demanded that he first be paid the. entire sum and” then pay us the amount of his bill. At any rate, the business methods of the paleface had too many safety devices for him, and the railroad had to go back to Greeks.” The grand work to gain the men & word now and then goes on while we sleep.

COE ee TVORCH is to Aifficult in En- gland. A great many English ¢ known this for some eat St a dozen English- men have just found it out. The situa- tion becomes promising. We, in Amer- ‘Mea, have given up all hope that John Bull ‘will ever. see the point. of our jokes, but it would be awfully nice. if we could make him see the — of our morals. ; The latest Gaptishmen. who benta un- dettake to cut the marriage knot,is Dr. David Walsh, .a scientifie- writer... Dr. Walsh suggests a law organizing a }matrimonial arid divorce bureau.” He be- ‘Heves the state should bear the cost of such | a bureau and of marriage and divorce. .He has presented- his sugges- tions te the Royal Divorce Commission. “No tegislation on divorce,” declares Dr. Walsh,’ “is likély to be successful unless it. makes provision for marriage, and also for the prevention of ‘the con- tinuance in marriage of couples who are likely. to have unhealthy offspring. I would suggest a matrimonial bureau with agents who Will make thorough inquiry into the families of the con- tracting persons, and ‘will supply to each person -; facts ‘that will give the bride-elect or. the husband-tg-be a eom- plete history of the, family .of which he or she is about to become @ member: This would be of great help to the poor. In the event of divorce !t would be of equai. value in providing evidence for the court“which has the power to au⸗ solve the marriage. bond."’ “Dr. Walsh’s ideas would. be very fine if they were practical,” smited Mrs. Lilian) Hasbrouck, author and club wom- an, if discussing the London scientist's ‘suggestions. — “Why. are they impractical?” 1. asked. _.“Because they are directly opposed to human nature, human instincts,”” Mrs. Hasbrouck replied calmly. “You can hurry. the flow of the human tide for- ward, but you cannot swinr against ft. That is what Dr. Waish with his sug- gestions Would be trying to do. “The foundation stones. of love are trust and ‘loyalty. An emotion shared by a man and woman which is not trust- ful and ioyal is notlove.

Co. — (New York World.) By ROBERT EDGREN. A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—‘‘Digger” Stan- ley, the English featherweight cham- pion, who has come over here to fight, has been in the game a long time. In fact, he’s as much of a veteran as Abe Attell. But they fight seldom and last long over in England. Bight or nine years ago I saw the Digger fight Pedlar Palmer in London. The fight was down in Wonderland, in the Whitechapel district. Wonderland at that time was one of the big, cheap clubs. The evening’s program usually consisted of twelve or fifteen short fights; ‘so class, as a rule, didn’t cut much 6f a figure. On this night Digger Stanley and Pediar Palmer went on in the main event of ten rounds. There had been all sorts of fighters in the preliminaries. One that I remember was Jack Scales, who still figures as a heavy near- ‘champion of England. I remember Scales principally because he was so fat and because he didn’t know any- thing about fighting at all. Had Better of Palmer. Palmer was very fast and clever. I admired the English way of ducking that -he had developed to perfection. He’d step in close to Stanley, who was @ long, leah, rangy fellow, and bob his head up ana down, letting mest of the Digger’s hooks and jabs graze his hair. Palmer had an impudent grin in the beginning of the scrap. Stanley was very serious. He went right on punching as Palmer ducked, and after a while began mending. Then Palmer mixed it and didn’t show so well. At the end of the bout, [ theught Stanley had quite the best of the fight. And he deserved the deci- sion. But a Mr. ‘Jacobs, Palmer's brother-in-law, refereed. Mr. Jacobs was a large fat man in a dress suit. and with a diamond as big as a straw- berry in his shirt front. Mr. Jacobs thought otherwise and Palmer was de- clared the winner. Stanley stepped our of the ring without argument, but he looked sore. They don’t do much argu- ing in England. Stanley claims the world’s bantan: title, having defeated Bewker at the English weight limit in that elass Powker was’ the lad who defeated Frankie Neil years ago when Neil went to England to pick up some easy money Bowker beat Neil on decision. Nei] was the world’s champion at the time, hav- ing knocked out Harry Forbes. This is the first time the title has been risked against a good American bantam weight. RETAILERS MAY GIVE $1000 TO HELP TENPIN TOURNEY The Associated Retailers of St. Louis have called a meeting of their execu- tive committee for Tuesday morning, at which the question of giving the St. Leuis Bowling Tournament Co. $1000 to help cever expenses will be discussed. The Tournament Co. is in need of $5000 to complete the fund necessary to carry out the A. B. C. successfully. The Re- tailers’ Association includes 82 down- town business concerns in its member- ship, so that the donation would only be a little over $10 apiece. In payment for this the Tournament Co, is agreeing to give them a full page of advertising on their program, with the names of every one of these retail firms men- tioned.

IS EAGER FOR MATCH Will Fight Michigan Boy Under Any Condition Named by the Latter. “Ad Wolgast iknews he hasn’t any right to be classed as the lightweight champion, and is staying out of the ring simply because he knows he will be defeated when he fights a good man,”’ said Owen Moran, English light- weight, the first man to make Battling Nelson take the count, who opened a week's engagement at the Standard Theater Sunday. Moran doesn’t mince his words in telling what he thinks of Wolgast. Since he defeated Nelson .in San Francisce, Nov. 26, Moran has been het on the trail of Wolgast, but the latter has been unwilling to make any promise of a match. : ‘“‘Wolgast may have an injured arm and he may not. But, that wouldn’t prevent him from giving me the prom- ise of a match. He’s a lucky fellow to be at the top of the lightweights. I feel confident that I‘ean defeat him, and if ever we get in the ring I will come out as the king ef the light- weights. , May Agree in 60 Days. “Charley Harvey, my manager, has been in ~...cago for more than a week, trying to line up Tom Jones, Wolgast’s manager, for a promise. Jones, while I was in Chicago, refused to make any kind of an agreement. He kept stalling and stalling for his protege. I have been told;: though, that Jenes and Wel- gast will agree on a date within 6 days. “I will fight him under any condi- tions. For that -eason I can’t under- stand why he won’t sign up. I will agree to a 90 and 10 split, winner take all, and will accommodate him with any size side bet. He can hardly refuse me a@ match under those terms. But he’s the most peculiar champion I have ever heard of. “TI like to fight, and after I beat Wol- vast will accommodate them all. This vaudeville stuff is easy money, but I would rather get mine fighting. I don’t like the footlights. And as for the speechmaking, I would prefer a good wallop on the jaw any time. In Wrong in Emgliand. ‘This fellow Freddy Welsh is a clever boy. So is Jem Driscoll, who lost to Welsh recently. Although they ‘are Eng- lish and Welshman I have not fought either. That’s because I am in wrong with the National Sporting Club people. After my first visit to this country, I returned to England and told them what fine sporting people the Yankees are. I pointed out the fact that a fighter in this country could have all the fights he wanted, that they offered better purses and when a fighter was a fighter, they gave him credit for it. “That somewhat riled them and I am a kind of an outcast as a result. But I like this country, have made a snug lit- tle pile here and want to keep on fight- ‘Ting here.’’ Moran is a compact piece of fighting machinery. He is only 6 feet 4 inches tall but has a wonderful pair of shoul- ders. Unlike so many broad athletes, he is not muscle bound. -He is quick on his feet and is often referred to as the “dancing master.’’ Although clever and fast, he also packs a wicked punch. “It was a kind of a right hook on Nel- son’s jaw that started Bat on the down- ward path,” said Moran. “Up to that time, he has been fighting as well as ever, but the jelt rocked him to sleep.”’ a. rr Tipsand Cues have been received for the three-cushion billiard tourney at Nine entries class A the Rex Billiard Hall. The first match will be played Monday night, when Moore and, Neusholtz meet. The entries are V. Botto, F. Wright, H. Wright, Moore, Laughlin, Simons, Neuscholtz, Hutchings and Griffith.

NNOUNCEMENT of the McFar- A land-McCarthy fight at Kansas City once more reminds the St. Louisan ef the canker he has beea wearing around under his vest for the last few years in the form of an un- answered question as to why profes- sional boxing bouts are held everywhere in Missouri except St. Louis. The “why” is still a mystery such as makes Edipus’ famous enigma trans- parent by comparison.. Up in Kaw city they still do the fighting; here in St. Louis they still do the wondering. * * Probably it’s all in the viewpoint of the police departments of the two cities; and which is the astigmatic, myopic one is the partiicular point interesting to St. Louis. * * v What the Law Says. HE old law on the statute books J was not drafted to fit the present conditions; but since it is being enforced here it may be wel! to state that it not only makes prize fighting a felony, but it makes the arrangement of any such contest on the soil of the State of Missouri Mkewise a crime. The statute is so framed as to ex- pressly condemn “public exhibitions,’’ and it is on this rock that the sport -in the city of St. Louis has foundered, while flourishing elsewhere. * s. * © ; Pressing the Limit. HE police department/of this city T some years ago, after an investiga- tion in which lawyers figured to defend the interests of the Missouri Athletic Club, decided that the only concession it could legally make to box- ers, under the present law, was to countenance fights under the A. A. U. rules and sanction, before members only of the club giving the entertainment. The club could not charge itg members admission to its own private show, to defray the expense of the prizes. * * a Soft Pedal, Please. ITHOUT going out of its way or distorting the intent of the law, the Police Board could ease the strain on St. Louis boxing with never a twinge of conscience. The ridiculous se- verity enforced even against amateur entertainments smacks of persecution. While there is probably nothing in the moss-grown law of today to justify holding professional bouts openly, as is done at present in Kansas City, there is little need to put down the screws in the manner recently exercised here against the Columbian Athletic Club, some time since. This club had engaged amateur boxers, had an A. A. U. sanc- tion and A. A. U. efficials were on hand to handle the show. It was to be put on before members of the club and ia every way, apparently, was legal. Yet it was stopped. Interference with a card of that sort, on mere suspicion, seems like stealing a man’s false teeth after having knocked out his natural ones. As the matter stands now, the punish- ment Goes not at all fit the crime. A new law should be put through recog- nizing public boxing exhibitions, under conditions such as exist in Pittsburg. es ¢ 8s President Stanley Robison of the Car- dinals iss all smiles of late. No, he hasn’t signed any .320 hitter for the outfield. No, he hasn’t’ lined up those three invincible pitchers. But somehow or other that premonitory symptom of cachination just grew. Its origin is believed te have been coincident with the sale of the Browns. e* ss 8 One More Year ef Bender. FE’ retentien of Johnny Bender as T coach of'St. Louis University, de- cided en Saturday night, was a matter of course. Bender gave the in- stitution a good, consistent football team in 1910 and got the most out ef his ma- terial. Bender this fall had offers from Nebraska and Michigan Agricultural College; but it was practically certain the lecal institution would not let the hustling little man ge, after he had re- stored the institution to the foetball map. Bender is singularly fortunate in his outlook for the coming season, but one of his regulars being lost to him by gradu- ation—Capt. Wagner. Unless something not looked for occurs to deprive him of others, he will be in charge of prac- tically a veteran squad; and the team that defeats the local men will know it has been to a football eat ENDER’S —— will suffer a 8 few changes from that of last year, although it is probable that Syracuse will come for Thanks- giving day. that date is already ten- tatively made, subject te the approval of the faculties of both institutions. Arkansas and De Pauw are among the new elevens fighting for places on St. Louis U.’s schedule, and both are likely to play here. Cincinnati Uni- versity, teo, has a chance of a game. Of the schedule so far made certain, shurtieff, Cape Girardeau, Dury and Rolla, the “regular” teams of the early season, are engaged. Missouri, too, ia virtually assured, although St. Louls U. may have to play the game at Columbia. This battle was a re- munerative one last year, when played ST. LOUIS EVENT DRAWS LARGEST All Records Shattered by Nomi- nations to 1914 Tenpin Tournament. 4141 FIVES ARE NAMED And More May Yet Arrive, Says Secretary Abe Langtry of A. B. C. All entry reports for five-men teams in the history of the American Bowling Congress have been broken by the 1911 St. Louis tournament, acording to a re- port issued Monday morning by Secre- tary Abe Langtry of the A. B. C. Mr. Langtry stated that the morning’ mail had brought belated entries in to swell the total entry list to 411. It is possible that four or five more teams may be added. The best previous record was made at Detroit, in 1910, whén the grand total reached 401. St. Louis was not treated teams, where St. Louis sent 15 to De- troit last year. : The,entry list includes clubs from New York to Vancouver. Although there is a rival bowling attraction in the East at almost the same time as the St. Louis event, New York City, Rochester, Syra- cuse, Washington and other Eastern points have nominated fives to bowl here. Feather in St. Louis’ Cap. The triumph of the St. Louis tourna- ment association, which has worked hard for the success of the event, is all the more pronounced since the rail- roads this year, for the first time have refused to make any reduction in trans- portation to bowlers. The schedule makers are already at work arranging the dates for the bowl- ing of the respective teams and-the ad- justment of this usually annoying fea- ture will be completed by Saturday. The teams to open the tournament will be the 16 fives of the Anheuser-Busch Bowl- ing League. has: entered 144. Famous Teams Coming. Included among the entries received Monday morning by Secretary Langtry, were the names of some. of. the crack teams of the United States; such as the Cosmos, who are the present A. B. C. champions; the Chalmers-Detroit, National Bowling Association cham- pions; the Lipmans of Chicago, A. B. C. champions at Pittsburg in 1909; the Bonds of Columbus, A. B. C. champions at Cincinnati in 1908; the Furniture Citys of Grand Rapids, A. B.C. cham- of Chicago, champions at Indianapolis in 1908. The cities that top the list of entries so far are St. Louis, with 14 teams; Chicago, 68 Cincinnati, 20; Milwaukee, 18; Louisville, 12; Cleseland and Colum- bus, with eight each; Dayton, Indianapo- lis and St. Paul, with seven each. Mr. Langtry says‘that the entry list for the tournament at St. Louis is es- pecially remarkable, in that, among oth- er hig handicaps te be overcome, was the fact that they have only had 10 months to work’ for it, whereas there is usually the entire year. This. is ac- counted for by the fact that the date of starting the big event has been ad- vanced eight weeks from the regular time. The fact that the entry list closed directly after the holiday season was also a handicapping condition. ,™ . ~~ |Strikes andSpares One. of the good features in the rolling of the Sons of Capital bowling team is that they all shoot the straight ball. No fancy work with a hook ball is allowed One of their weak features which they will have to overcome be- fore the big national event is the con- tinual stepping over the foul line. Drummond Jones, a member of the Mid Day Athletic Club, would have un- doubtedly made the team if he could have gotten away from the “walk- ing” ball. Johnnie Johnson of the De Soto-Pine alleys is one of the quiet type of ten- pinners who will very likely be showing them all where to head in before Jong. He will make his debut in the American Bowling Congress tournament when it opens here the latter part of the month. The Otto Stifels, leaders in the Com- mercial League; roll against Phil Lauff’s Granite City five, Monday afternoon, at the [Illinois town.
