DEATH OF YOUTH. ~ FOUND IN COUNTY MYSTIFIES POLICE Crew of Clayton Car Finds Oscar Walcher, 18 Years Old, Dying Beside Tracks | With Handkerchief Sat- urated With Carbolic Acid Lying Near Him. DOCTOR DOUBTFUL AS ~ TO CAUSE OF TRAGEDY Young. Pattern Maker’s - Father Can. Throw ~No _Ligkt Upon Son Being in County; Was Employed ia East St. Louis. With a handkerchief «saturated with carbolic acid lying beside him, Oscar Walcher, 18 years old, of 2530 North Market street, was found lying tncon- scious beside the Clayton car tracks near the McKnight road, at 8:25 p. m. Wednesday. He died in a street car on the way to the De Baliviere sleds. Investigation so far has failed to de- termine the cause of death or whether he died by -his own hand or was mur- dered. Hig moans were heard. by the crew of Clayton car No. 1747, which was bound for St: Louis. Motorman Sam- uel Barnett and Conductor George S. Casey lifted the insenible youth inte the car and made a record run to De Bal- fiviere avenue. Dr. M. L. Klinefelter, 90% North Taylor avenue, pronounced him dead, and the body was taken to the morgue. “There was a burn on Walcher’s lower and another on his chin,” Dr. Kline- felter said Thursday to a Post-Dispatch ** teporter. ““‘The light in the car sheds 8 poor that I could not tell | thé ‘Bears were seared by car- acid. rt not.’ I looked inside his rant ‘out ‘could. not see whether he had: swallowed any of the drug. - “{t 8 my opinion that a cloth satu- rated with carbolic acid and clapped ever the nose and mouth would not enuse death, or even unconsciousness” The youth’s father, John Walcher, could throw no light on the tragedy when seen Thursday. He said that his pon left home Wednesday’ morning, as usual, for hie work as a pattern maker at the American Steel Foundry, East St. Louis, and could give no reason for his being found in St. Louis County. He knew of no motive, he said, for either suicide or murder. In the dead man’s pockets, which peemed not to have been disturbed, the police found $3.72, a vial of rose water and glycerine, a pair of tan gloves and three linen nandicurchiete.

WIFE DECLARES HUSBAND LIKED HIS MOTHER BEST Mrs. Weaver Also Declares That He Took Life Too Easy to Suit Her.

Mrs. Ellanora G. Weaver’s husband, Aaron, was so indolent and nonprogres- sive that she was compelled to give les- sons in elocution and singing to keep the family pot boiling, she alleges in her divorce petition filed Thursday. The trouble with Aaron, she says, is that, although he was a man of educa- tion, he seemed content with a meager existence. This was a shock to Mrs. Weaver's re- fined and cultured nature. In five years, she alleges, her husband bought her no clothing and never took her to places of amusement. Another ground for-the divorce action is that Weaver cared more for his mother than for his wife. Mrs, Weaver says that soon after the mother-in-law went to live with them their troubles bégan. The mother-in-law had her own way of doing things, and. Mrs. Weaver was no longer permitted to keep house in her own way. The -petition givés Mrs. Weaver’s pres- ent address as the Mayfield Sanitarium. She‘asks the custody’ of the children, Emma, 17 years old, and William, 16. PASSENGERS’ TEETH SHOWN IN HOLDUP Detectives Stop Train to Look for Fugitive With Gold Dentistry. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 23.—A limited Big Four train was held up near Anderson by two detectives who were looking for a fugitive with a zold front tooth.. The male passengers were ‘startled when the detectives directed A ars to open their mouths and show their teeth. Before they had a chance to resent the intrusion, the detectives were half way through the coach. Most of the passengers opened their mouths willing- ly. The detectives went through the entire train and not a inale passenger Was permitted to escape the’ examina- tion. None of the treth fitted the ue- scription of those of th», fugitive, ¢nd tle train was allowed to proceed. ALL IN VILLAGE DEAD

months, is in the American hospital with her skull fractured. She was hurt Fri- day at her home on Lulu avenue,, Eas- west of Wellston. day. The air was so black that street car headlights would not penetrate~it far. I: consequence motormen were afraid to run their cars at full speed. At near- ly every crossing east of Eighteenth street and between Cass avenue and Chouteau avenue the cars were brought ¢ tc a full stop as a precaution against cellisions. This greatly lengthened the running time and caused impatience on the part of passengers who were anx- ious to reach their destinations. Under its contract with the city the company which lights the central por- tion of St. Louis with are lamps is permitted to turn off the lights at the hour designated in the almanacs as the time when the sun should rise. The lights are turned out whether the sun keeps its engagement or not. : Sky Inky Black. At 7 a. m, the sky was inky black as seen through the smcke blanket which hung over the downtown district, but telephoned reports showed that the sun was shining brightly in the West End and in north and south St. Louis. The area of darkness extended from the river to Grand avenue and from Baden to Carondelet, along the entire river front. It was densest east of Twelfth street. At Vandeventer avenue the air was only slightly hazy and at Sarah street the sun was shining. The question whether it was smoke that caused the gloom was put to} Weather Forecaster Hayes. “Smoke? I should say it is,” he ex- claimed. “The air is full of it and there is no other cause for the dark- ness, There was a very light wind movement early this morning and the air was extremely damp. Like Rain of Soot. “This combination had the inevit- fable result. The particles of smoke which are always hahkging over St. Louis became surcharged with mois- ture and were transformed into min- ute particles of soot. When they be- came. water-soaked they were too heavy to remain up in the air. It was like a rain of soot.” When the published statement of the Weather Forecaster that smoke caused the darkness was shown to Smoke In- spector Parker, he refused to discuss it. “I don’t read those things any more,” he said. “‘They don’t have the slightest influence on me. The people are getting into line or getting into court. You can’t expect to get rid of all the smoke in a year. We'll have smoke in St. Louis 50 years from now. Some of this smoke comes from East St. Louis. I am doing my duty as I sée it.’’ The wind velocity increased in the forenoon and shortly after,.10 o’clock the air became comparatively clear and the sun peeped through the smoke and | bade St. Louis a belated good morning. —- -@-- — TAUSSIG REFUSES EAPLANATION ON ADKINS VOUCHER Comptroller, in Deposition, Will Not Tell Why He Held Up Construction Co. Bill. ton Avenue Heights, Mrs. Evans has been in a precarious condition for several days. At the hos- pital it was said Thursday that she had a chance to recover. Her husband was arrested Thuraday afternoon at the yard of the St. Louis Lumber Co., and taken to Clayton by Constables Schoenmein and Bode. The prisoner was interrogated for an hour by Prosecuting Attorney Nolte. It was stated that Evans would be held 20 hours pending further investigation. ‘The St. Louis County are working on the case. They have found difficulty because of the con- flicting stories told by Mrs. Evans and her husband, Louis Evans, a teamster for the St. Louis Lumber Co., who says that after he went home Friday even- ing ffom his work, while he and his wife were at the table she got up and went out on the back porch. She was gone only a minute or two, when he heard her call for help. He went out and found her on the ground uncon- scious and he carried her in the house. He says she must have fallen down the hack stairs. Mrs. A. Griffith, a neighbor of Evans, went to the Evans home Saturday morn- ing and found Mrs, Evans in bed in a semi-conscious condition. She told Mrs. Griffith that she was sitting at the table eating dinner with her husband opposite her when something struck her from be- hind and she became unconscious.:- was late in the night when she recov- ered consciousness and then she was in a bedroom of her home lying on the floor near a sofa and her husband was bending over her and saying: “Nannie, for Heaven's sake, don’t tell anyone about this.”” She said she lest con- sciousness again for awhile. Mrs. Evans has since changed her story to agree with that of her hus- band. Health Commissioner Tracewell of Wellston was called to the Evans home Friday night, two hours after Mrs. Evans was hurt. He said Thursday that a man’t fist could not have inflict- ed the blow that fractured the skull of Mrs. Evans, it was done with some blunt instrument. He said it could not have been caused fy a fall down the back porch. Neighbors found a hammer in’ the house Thursday and turned it over to Dr. Tracewell. Evans and his wife have had consid- erable trouble. One night last week he went home and found the doors locked and his wife away. He knocked out a panel of the front door and went in. Arthur Heck, the 10-year-old son of Mrs. Evans by a former marriage, who lived with his mother until recently, several times. ran to the homes of neighbors and asked them to go over as Evans was making trouble. One morning the neigh- bors went to the Evans home and found Evans with a revolver in his hand. Evans 1s said by his neighbors to have strange ‘spells of forgetfulness in which he acts queerly and does not speak to his acquaintances. Two months after he was married last June he came home one day and told his wife that he had sold the place, which is a one-story frame. He brought wagons and moved the furniture and disappeared Mrs. Evans went to live with’ Mrs. Grif- fith. Three months later Evans re- turned and he and his wife went back to the cottage. It is known that Mr. and Mrs. Evans quarreled recently over the sale of two

‘Comptroller Taussig turned sphinx when attorneys tried to find out from him Thursday why he had refused to O K a voucher for $793.62 for the City Construction Co., drawn by former Wa- ter Commissioner Adkins. The construc- tion company is suing the city for that amount, and Taussig’s deposition was taken in the office of C. Porter John- son, its attorney. Adkins resigned recently after Taussig had found that :the city had paid $6000 for concrete meter boxes to the con- struction company under the guise of “extra labor at 30 cents an hour.” Ad- kins drew the voucher in that form be- cause Taussig had declined to honor it in its true form. These facts became known at the time of Adkins’ resigna- tion, Voucher for Water Mains. The voucher on which the construction company is suing is for water mains it laid for the city. Adkins drew it, and} it was O K’d by President Reber of the Board of Public Works, and the City Auditor before Taussig refused to sign it. He was asked at the heating why he refused. “T. decline to answer,” he replied. “Wasn’t the .work done as eontract- ed for.”’ “T don’t know,’’ said Taussig. “Didn’t you sign the contract?’’ “I did, without reading it.’’ ‘“‘Wasn’t the contract fulfilled?’’ “TI say I don’: know.”’ Taussig made these replies on the advice of City Counselor Walther, who was present. Johnson wanted to know whether Taussig had any ill feeling toward Ed- ward Prendergast, president of the con- struction company. He Oy eapeg that he } had none. Denies Having Aiuiein, “Have you any animus or ill will to- ward Ben Adkins, the former Water Commissiorer?’’ Johnson asked. **No.”’ “Isn’t it a fact that the reason for your refusal to sign this “voucher was il’ will toward Adkins?’ City Counselor objected to this ques- tion and was sustained. “Didn’t you want that objection sus- tained?” Johnson asked Taussig. Taus- sig refused to answer the question and was upheld: Johnson wanted to forcé Taussig to answer, but Clifford B. Allen, the ref- eree, ruled that a public official. could not be compelled to tell the business of his office. Johnson said that Friday he would lay the‘situation befare Judge Allen, in whose court the case is pend- ing. SMOKE HARMFUL TO LUNGS AND EYES

OVER TESTIFIES. AGAINST THE GIRL

Ig Positive “in” Identification of Her as Maid He Hired to Care: for. Children.

ee ee ee When Lilian.. MeDowell, “the girl with the cat’s eye,”’ .vent to trial Thurs- day in Judge Taylor’ s court, some fash- ionable witnesses were waiting in an anteroom to testify against her. Among them were H, Chouteau Dyer of 29 Lenox place-and Misses Florence and Adele Hayes’of 4389 Lindell boulevard. The young woman was tried first on the charge of stealing $6000 from Dyer’s home while employed there as-.a meid. It is charged also that she got $2000 worth of diamonds from the home of Joseph M. Hayes, father of the young women in court. She is wanted in other cities, and the police charge that her thefts of diamonds zmounted to $100,000. Dyer Identifies Her. Dyer was the ‘first. witness against the woman. He’ was positive in;his Adentification, of her, and;said he had noticed her. particularly because she was to care ‘for the children: The new maid was employed Sept. 27, 1907, under the name of: Clara Stratton. On the following Saturday night Dyer went to the countr¢ to stay over-Sunday, and when he re- turned the new maid and the jewelry were gone. The door of the desk in Mrve. Dyer’s dressing room had been forced open with a pair of plyers, and the jewelry had been taken out. Origin of Her Nickname. The nickname was given to the’ girl on account of a peculiar yellow bar which gives a cast to her left-eye. It is this mark which will be used _ to strengthen her identification as the ‘serv- ant girl who robbed St. Louis homes. Judge Taylor appointed Pierce Ber- nard to-serve as the woman's lawyer, but she rejected him and emplayved Willfam BE. Fish. Her defense will be maid are mistaken. No one saw. her stealing jewelry, and none of the jew- els has been recovered. On this ac- count the prosecution has aq difficult case before, it,. in the opinion of Bour Courts lawyers. Mr. and Mrs. Dyer went to many cities trying to recover the diamonds stolen from them, and looking at wom- en held on suspicion of thefts: They did not find Lillian McDowell. . She was arrested here on a charge of shop)ift- ing. Mrs. . Dyer. ied suddenly, from falling in her bath, before the arrest, Other. witnesses present to testify were Miss Louise Ricker, who was gcv- erness in the Dyer !.ome at the time of the theft; Miss Louise Buell of 310A California avenue, who was in the house at the time, and Miss Marie Hansom of 100 North Leffingwell avenue, who was employed at the Hayes home.

A Reasonable Plea for The Stomach If Your Stomach is Laeking in Digest- ive Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do Its Work—Es- pecially When It Costs Nothing To Try? Not with drugs, but with a refn- forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion require pepsin, nitro- genous and the secretion of hydro- chloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is. proof positive that some of these agents are — in your digestive apparatus. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets con- tain nothing but these natural ele- ments necessary to digestion. and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these organs need. They stim- ulate the gastric glands and gradu- ally bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural digestives. Chemical Laboratory.

TRA SESSION \TATIVE DATE SET AT MARCH 20 litterval Aftet Present Con- gress Adjourns Will Allow | Opportunity for the Ways and Means Committee of the House to Complete All Its Arrangements.

LEADERS INTEND TO. | DELAY LEGISLATION

Question of Direct Vote on ‘Senators and Magazine Postage Likely to Go Over, as Well as the Rati- fication of Canadian Reci- procity.

Shall tariff reform be post- poned until 1912? ~ Shall reduction of the cost of living be postponed until 1912?

By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. — Monday, March 20, is the date tentatively set for the convening of the extra session. The President will return from “At- lanta, Sunday, March 12, It first was believed that the session would be called for March 13, but the indication is thut the President will allow another week in order that mem- bers may attend to personal affairs and incidentally afford the new Ways and Means Committee of the House an opportunity to decide upon its com- mittee arrangements. s Senator Root brought this information from the White House, where he went to report to the President that the reci- rocity agreement could not reach a vote at this session. Although the certainty of an extra session has existed for severa) days, it was doubled in an unexpected manner by a small coalition organized to bring on an extra session by the most polite and indirect filibuster through extended debate on the appropriation measures. What Leaders Plan. The purpese is: To throw the Canadian reciprocity agreement over to an extraordinary ses- sion. To prevent a decisive vote on the Lorimer case. To avoid a direct vote on 'the consti- tutional amendment relative bo the pop- ular election of senators. To eliminate the provision of the post- office bill which imposes a tax on the advertising sections of periodicals. Those who favor the program do so because they think it will be much easier to vacate the seat of Lorimer with a new Senate. They realize the constitutional dmend- ment is defeated as it stands now and feel sure the requisite two-thirds vote can be obtained in the next Senate. They belieye their opportunity for amending the reciprocity agreement will be much better with the changed pplit- ical conditions after March 4. Those standing .together in favor of this plan are Senators Cummins, Bris- tow, Clapp, La Follette, Borah and Bourne. Senator Gore, the blind orator from Oklahoma, a Democrat, will co- operate to the extent of opposing the second-class mail increase. He will go no further. It is not intended to defeat any of the. appropriation bills, but merely de- bate them until no time is left for the other measures. The President is satisfied of the gen- uineness of public sentiment back of him in calling an extra session, not only ts ratify the Canadian reciprocity agreement, but to carry out the idea of revision Cownward on the neces- saries of life. The veto power, however, will be re- served to protect the policy of protec- tion from a general onslaught by the Democrats’ at an extra session. If wise laws are passed, reducing the cost of living along the lines of the reciprocity treaty and Taft’s Springfield speech, the President will sign the bills, regard- less of the party or men who were most fictive in get:ing them through. To Reduce Cost of Living. The House at an extraordinary session will not attempt a general revision of the tariff, but after repassing tbe: reci- procity treaty the House will vi a bill or bills for taking the tax from the necessaries of life most immediately af- fected. The Democrats of the next Senate will vote also for these bills. The in- surgent Republicans, who, in conjunc- tion with the Democrats wil! constitute a majority of the next Senate, will vote for bills reducing the cost of living. This is made evident by the amend- ments to the reciprocity agreement al- ready introduced and to be introduced ir. the Senate. Al! that the progressive Republicans are trying to do—and which v''l result in the death of the recipro- city treaty at this session—is to get an ecual division of benefits to the Amer- ican farmer. .

Shem Aad or a, Seren, and wants Marrying Justice Political and Constitutional Ar- gument Met and Committee Vote Is 6 to 3. SENATE TO TAKE IT UP Gum-Shoe Tactics to Defeat the Measure Continued “at Jefferson City. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 23.—Members of the St. Louis Republi@fan delegation in the House, whose gum-shoe_tactics in their politica] fight on the St. Louis Municipal Ceurt bills were exposed by the Post-Dispatch, made political and constitutional arguments before the Ju- diciary Committee of the House yester- Gay. oe | Hiram Licya, leader of the delegation, who is opposed to the bill this year, al- though he was one of its most. active supporters two years ago, did not appear before the committee, although others of the delegation said Lloyd would make an argument. Lloyd has refused several times to state to the Post-Dispatch correspond- ent his position on the bill, but state- ments of other members of the delega- tion that the entire St. Louis representa- tion in the House was opposed to it have gone unchallenged. Committee Favors Bill, 6 to 3. After Representatives Leighton Shields, Grant Gillespie and Oliver T. Remmers had opposed the bill on political and con- stitutional grounds, the committee, by a vote of six to three, decided to report it favorably for passage. The speakers were plied with many questions by members of the committee, who took issue with them on their con- stitutional points, and also on the po- litical effect of the measure. In an effort to draw Democratic votes against the measure, Gillespie declared that the establishment of the Municipal Court would mean the building up of a huge political machine in St. Louis by the Republicans, but he admitted on being questioned by Representatives Boyd and Barbee that the bill provided for a civil service commission which would select all the employes of the court. After the St. Louis diiahhers had argued against the bill for more than an hour, the committee went into exe- cutive session and reported it favorably. Those. voting for the bill were Repre- sentatives Britton, Roney, Hull, Bar- bee, Boyd and Harris. Those against it -were Representatives Irwin, Vosholl and Hensley, all Republicans. Repre- sentative Gessett of Kansas City did not vote, and Representative Phelps, who assisted the opponents of the bill by asking them questions on points which were expected to strengthen the opposition, was absent when the vete was taken. Shields Complains of Slight. Representative Shields complained to the committee in his argument against the bill that the members from St. Louis had not been consulted about its introduction. When asked by Represen- tative Roney if his objection to the bil was because he had not been consulted about it, Shields declared that had noth- ing to do with his position. Shields told the committee it ought to accept the position of the St. Louis members as an assurance that the peo- Ple.of St. Louis did not want the Municipal Courts established, and that the country members ought not pass any bill affecting only St. Loufs un- less the St. Louis members favored it. ent members who were members two years ago did favor the bill then. Shields replied that he did not know how the members stood two years ago. Gillespie made an extended argument against the bill, quoting from the Con- stitution and citing Supreme Court cases to sustain his contention that the bill is unconstitutional. He argued that the court would be much moer expen- sive than the present system. Boyd Puts Questions. In denying that politics had any part in the opposition of the Republicans, Gillespie declared: “From a political standpoint, the Re- publicans could want nothing better than to have this bill passed. It would mean that in a very short time the worst possible political machine would be built up. It would not mean that competent men would be selected. On the other hand, it would mean that the fellows who could go out and pull a crowd would be the judges.”’ Representative Boyd interrupted, with the question: "Is that the way your circuit courts now are constituted?” ; “It is an entirely different proposi- tion,”” Gillespie replied. The bill provides the same qualifica- tions for members of the Municipal Court as are required ‘for circuit. judges, and makes the manner of their election the same. Representative Seaisiibare said that 90 per cent of his constituents were opposed tothe. billy He said he had investiga- Working of the Municipal Court the St. Louls Bar Association, replied ] to the St. Louls members and presented | | h decided the eomseattne |

Chairman Hull took is- }}sue with Gillespie and reminded him that a specified invitation was extended to opponents to the bill to speak, and that Gillespie was in’ the room when the invitation was given. Gillespie said in closing that he was prepared to meet F. N. Judson or any other lawyer in a discussion of ‘the con- stitutional features of the bill.

Many a wife endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache, pains about the hips; blue and nervous spells, expecting no relief, because she doesn’t know what is the matter. It is not true that every pain in the region of the hips is ‘‘female trou- ble.’’ When the kidneys get congest- ed and inflamed there is constant backache, headache, dizzy spells and other queer pains which are easily mistaken for other ailments, but which are due to the swollen, sick kidneys. You ean tell that it is kidney trou- ble when the uric acid poisoning makes you dull and-tired, fretful and nervous. It brings dizzy spells, rheu- matic pains, neuralgia, sick headache and weak eyesight.

Miss Wichner seized his arms and they struggled un- til, reaching the parlor door, Braun saw the four children playing in the room. He leveled the pistol at the children, who huddled under a davenport in a corner and was about to fire, but the girl released her grip on his other arm, and, with both hands, forced the muzzle of his weapon toward the ceil- ing. Braun béat the girl, making a half- dozen wounds in her face, but ‘she him. Again and again he fired, but to no purpose. Finally the gun clogged, and while he was ex- ‘amining it Miss Eichner pushed him out of the front door and closed and locked it. Braun then rushed to the tailor shop of Joseph Stumpf, shot him in the shoulder and hand and was about to fire a third time when the gun clogged. He drew another weapon from his pock- et, but it missed fire. While examining it he shot one of his own fingers off. He then abandoned his attack, visited a doctor’s office and was arrested while his injury was being treated. He will be held for an examination into his mental condition.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—The price of eggs in New York today is the lowest February quotation recorded in 41 years. Owing to unprecedented receipts from the West, market men dre quoting fresh eggs as low as 2 cents & dozen, and the prospect according to the authorities in the trade is @ further fall in prices to 15 cents a dozen before March 1. One of the largest dealers, with an eye to advertising his other wares, is selling a dozen eggs for 8 cents to cus- tomers buying at least 50 cents worth of other goods. The low prices, it is said, are ‘due chiefly to the mild weath- er and to a great increase in the num- ber of hénneries in Western states. aed ae

TELLS. STORY OF DELIA Rich Slum Worker Now in St. Louis Has Spent $119,000 on Her Refuge for Women. Flowers are the most persuasive in- fluence in preventing suicide, in the -opinion of Mrs. BE. M. Whittemore of - New York, founder of \ the Door of Hope, through which more than 5000 women and girls have passed, and man- ager of the women’s department of the anti-suicide department of the Salva- tion Army in New York. She accompanied her husband, who is a delegate, to the Presbyterian Broth- erhood convention. | Suicide is not an evidence of insanity, but the result of a detailed plan formed when the victim’s condition in life becomes unbearable, according to Mrs. Whittemore. '“Pink roses and white carnations are the most effective flowers in shattering that plan by reaching the remaining spark of love in the heart of the‘down- cast person,’ she said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter Thursday. ‘These blos- sums bring back memories of childhood and rekindle love of :ife. They silently ‘perform a mission the human voice cannot accomplish. More than 500 wom- en have been saved from suicide by the Door of Hope in New York.”’ Influence of a Pink Rose. The pathetic story of how ¢the gift of a pink rose to . woman of the slums awakened her interest in a better life and brought about her reform, making her a useful woman, was told to the audience at the Union Avenue Christian Chireh._ Wednesday night by Mrs. Whittemore. Her lecture was on “Wom- en's Rescue Work,” and was under the auspices of the Salvation Army Res- ‘cue Home, 3740 Marine avenue. Mrs. -Whittemore i: a granddaughter of the Jate .Dr..Valentine Mott, one of the foremost surgeons of New York in his time. She was reared in affluence, was a leader in social circles, and her home has been the scene of many re- ceptions and entertainments. For 3% years, since she was cured of a ‘long fijness, she has devoted her life and wealth to aiding helpless and downcast women and girls. Discarding her costly - gowns, she donned the uniform of the charity worker and sought the unfor- tunate. '* Unfortunate Girls Helped. Nineteen years ago she built with her “wn money the Door of Hope, at Tap- pan, New York. for the shelter and encouragement of unfortunate women and girls. Since that time she has ex- pended $119,000 in improving and main- taining the place, and has assisted in opening 69 similar Doors of Hope in va- rious countries, She ig pfoud of her record in never having solicited a dollar to aid. her work, 4 tary donations. ; ago she Three ye: affiliated with the Salvati-n Army to the extent of h:iving that orgr.nization promise to take up her work at her death and continue it along the same lines.

In this capacity she controls the management of seven branches of the Door of Hope in China, two in Africa, one in New Zealand, one in Nova Scotia and one in Glasgow, in addition to those in America. ; The reformation of the woman of the slums whom she presented with a pink rose, is the foundation of a book written by Mrs. Whittemore entitled ‘‘Delia, or the Bluebird of Mulberry’ Bend.” “Delia” is the only name Mrs. Whitte- more ever gave to the public of the woman who proved that flowers are a powerful influence for good. The wom- an was known to the police as a leader of.@ gang of thieves in the Mulberry Bend slum district of New York. She had often been imprisoned. She was called “Bluebird’’ because of her love for bite When Mrs. Whittemore and her co workers met her in a dive, the woma) Was apparently of the lowest type and past redemption. Spark of Love Kindled.

As the religious workers left the place! in the cellar, Mrs. Whittemore gave Delia a pink rose. The woman’s face suddenly changed. The spark of love in her heart had been touched. That night Delia bade good-by to her evil companions and sought the Door of Hope. She carried the pink rose to tes- tify to her sincerity,to reform.

cut in the left side and across the left| temple by Christopher Singleton when the two men met in the apartments of } Singleton’s divorced wife at 2730 Wash- ington avenue shortly after 7 o'clock Wednesday evening... Snyder, who is 24 years old, was taken to the city hospital. Singleton, 27 years old, was later arrested at the Frisco Hospital, King’s highway and Laclede avenue, where he is employed. Mrs. May Singleton, the cause of the assault, also was arrested’ and is being held at the Dayton Street Police Station pend- ing the outcome of Snyder’s wounds. Singleton told the police he had been hoping—for a reconciliation with . his former wife but had failed in his efforts toward that end because of Sergt. Sny- der’s attentions to Mrs. Singleton. Mrs. Singleton stated that her former husband entered her apartments unin- vited while she was entertaining Snyder and that the two men quarreled and exchanged several blows, after which Singleton drew a knife and began PAGES 11 11—20, j FOSt-DIspaten ¢

ASQUITH NS OVATION: VET 1 BIEL ENACTED Nationalists and Liberals Cheer Success of Measure to Lessen Lords’ Power. : LONDON, Feb. 23.—Premier Asquith was loudly applauded by his supporters -in the House of Commons last night when the parliament bill, otherwise known as the veto bill, designed to cur- tail the power of the lords in vetoing legislation, was passed on its first read ity of 124. The vote wag 361 to 227. The Nationalists first rose in their places, cheering and waving their hats. The Liberals followed their example.

OURIOSITIES OF INJUSTICE. Col. William H. Phelps, former railroad lobby- ist, but now member of thé State Legislature, confirms a theory long held and advocated by the Post-Dispatch, when he asserts that the peo- ple of Missouri are being flim-flammed in the assessment of railroad property in the State. Col. Phelps points out by way of illustration the difference between the assessment of roads in this State and in Kansas and the difference between the dividend-paying value of the Chi-: cago & Alton and its assessed value in Missouri. The C. & A. pays dividends on $122,000 a mile and 5 per cent on all its bonds, bu. its assessed valua- tion for taxing purposes in Missouri is only _ $19,000 .a mile. The Frisco, which is assessed on from $4000 to $13,000 a mile in Missouri, pays: taxes in Kansas on $27,000 a mile. The Missouri Pacific, which is taxed in Missouri on $15,000 a mile, is taxed in Kansas on $33,000 a mile. There may be a country joker in the Colonel’s bill to ascertain the mileage assessment of rail- roads in the State by dividing the total assess- ment of the roads by the number of miles oper- ated in the State, but there is no joke in his statement that the people are flim-flammed. The inequalities in Missouri assessments of the same kind of property in different parts of the State and of different kinds of property all over the State are amazing. They. make our present tax system and its operation curiosities of injustice.

i Senator Lorimer makes a satisfactory ex- planation of everything in connection with his election except the payment of money for votes. SENATOR PHILLIPS’ OPPORTUNITY. Without impugning the motives that: prompted Senator Alroy 8. Phillips to present the argument that the Municipal Courts bill is unconstitutional, he is to be congratulated on the outcome of his He made a brief and presented the case with enthusiasm and with due regard for legal forms and legislative precedents. He made, it ' clear where he stood and why he stood there” The result he has attained is found in the ex- planation of the law applicable to the case, made by F. N. Judson. The wise elder lawyer did mot take Senator Phillips’ brief and tear it to tatters, or shred it or kick it into the waste basket;

4 } he restated the legal fundaments so simply and _learly that there is neither tatter nor shred for the waste basket to hold. As an enthusiastic ‘young lawyer Mr. Phillips will recognize the sim- plicity of the argument and its force. He will see that he was either misguided or mistaken, and].

The conditions under which Aaron Jones will remain in the Républican party are now plainly defined. As he has reduced them to an ultimatum and served them condensed on the United States Senate, they are the quintessence of monopoly in tabloid form. Aaron Jones lives at South Bend, Ind, He is an official representative of bacon as a luxury. He stands for the costly hog. He is determined that if bacon and sausage are not kept high priced as luxuries for city people, all other neces- saries of life, now luxuries, shall be made cheap and plentiful. coln. He has, voted for every Republican presi- dential candidate since Lincoln, but if the neces- saries of life Jones sells to other people are not kept high priced, “then that party can not expect Jones to follow it.” This is the Jones ultimatum. If the profitable injustice for which Jones has been voting his party ticket all his life is in any way reformed, then all other injustices of the same kind, rep- resented by the same party ticket, shall be re- formed also. Jones threatens that if he is not allowed to profit by injustice he will become formidably just. He claims that he represents several mil- lion organized Republican voters who are ready to become as fair-minded as he will become him- self if his ultimatum is rejected. Perhaps he is stating facts. “Perhaps he is defining the sit- uation. If so, it is.a situation in which he ought to have full opportunity for making justice as formidable as he can. Two excellent suggestions for the School Board ticket of the Democrats are former Judge Jesse A. McDonald and William Woerner. Both are men of high character and ability. The Demo- cratic ticket would be greatly strengthened by nominations of this kind. = |] = r~w HAS JOHN MARSHALL BEEN REVERSED? For many years lawyers of ability have inti- mated that the Dartmouth College decision might be reversed. In that case the United States Su- preme Court held that a charter is a contract and that a contract is inviolable. Under this ruling, which gave great fame to Chief Justice Marshall, public rights have suffered in many in- Btlances and great care has been exercised by legislators, state and national, to escape the con- sequences of the judgment. At first the criticism of the Dartmouth decis- ion was intemperate and partisan. Of late it has been academic and philosophical. Instead of at- tacking the principle established by the court, most writers now content themselves, as did the late Judge Cootéy, in pointing out that contracts “affected by a public interest” may not always be judicially sustained. On Monday of this week the Supreme Court held that a contract made in 1871 between a rail- road company and two persons injured in an acci- dent, by the terms\of which the claimants were to have free transportation for life in full settle- ment, could not be enforced as against the rail- road after the passage of the Hepburn law in 1906, which prohibited all passes.- In thus re- fusing to recognize the sanctity of a contract per- fectly lawful at the time it was made the court said: ‘No contract can defeat the proper gov- ernmental regulation of interstate commerce, and contracts must be considered as made with that principle in mind.” : If this is not a recognition of the idea that contracts affected by a public interest may be changed or terminated by governrental action, what is it?

a AN UNWORTHY GRAND JURY. The Hon. George B. Cox of Cincinnati peevish- ly complains that the grand jury which indicted him on a charge of ‘perjury “consists of Démo- crats and mugwumps.” Such an indictment is plainly invalid and must be quashed. A grand jury of Democrats and mugwumps is not a Jury of Mr. Cox’s peers. A great Republican boss like Mr. Cox ¢an be law- fully indicted only by a grand jury of Republican bosses like himself. = = = A municipal secret service!

ha hi -~wT LANDLORDS’ ‘‘RIGHTS.’’ The Southern Improvement -and Manufacturing Co. was strictly within its “rights” as a land- lord when it turned Arthur Fortner and his sick wife and children out into the snow because the rent was Jong in arrears. As Portia said: “The law allows it, and the court awards it.” But centuries ago a great Roman writer re- marked that “rigorous law is often rigorous in- justice.” And, to paraphrase Pitt: Law ends where tyranny begins. It was Johnson who said: “The law is the last result of human wisdom acting upon human experience for the benefit of the public.” And the great Sir Edward Coke as- serted that “law is the perfection of reason.” That it is “rigorous injustice,” “tyranny” and “unreason” to evict a family in the. depth of win- ter when one or more members are sick is the consensus of public opinion. That brutality can- not be sanctioned by just laws is also obvious. What then? If, in acting as described, the land- lord is “within his rights according to law,” is it not time to further regulate those “rights,” by enacting laws that shall prevent such exhibi- tions of sheer brutality and make the law, as it

with. But, in order to prevent rigorous law from becoming rigorous injustice, the law should take into account actual conditions. Eviction should be positively forbidden in the case of serious ill- ness and when the weather makes it probable that such eviction will cause illness or death. i rv One pifblic service the Bar Association can do in connection with the Jones investigation. It} can call Gov. Hadley’s attention to the neces- sity of an official inquiry through the proper law | officer of the State and the futility of an in- vestigation by an organization without authority to enforce an effective examination. The Bar As- sociation. might point the way for the Governor to the kind of action on his part which should | precede any action on the part of the association. = = = i si LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Hoping for Results. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to a petition published in yesterday's paper for the public to sign, calling for a special session of Congress for the reduction of the tariff, I feel-that the Post-Dispatch deserves much, praise for the active interest it has taken in the welfare of the people of this great nation. Hop- ing for results, I enclose petition signed. Miami, Ok, JACK SHELTON. e ’ $225,000,000 Annual Fire Waste. Te the Editor ef the Post-Dispatch. I note with pleasure the strenuous fight against the smoke nuisance our women and your worthy @elves are making, and it calls to my mind a situation which would be far better to fight than that of smoke; the situation to which I have ref- erence is that of the fire waste of our country, which is not alone a. waste of money, but of lives as well. : : How many of our fires are started with chil- dren playing with matches; by the careless hand- ling of gasoline in the household; by the ac- cumulation of papers and rubbish in cellars of dwellings, flats, apartment houses and tenement buildings? I dare say 50 per cent of the fires in our country are caused by carelessness, the other |. 50 per cent through faulty construction, faulty electric wiring and incendiarism. Now if through your columns you could bring before the public and educate them in regard to fire protection and simple rules for the preven- tion of fire you would be doing a credit to our city as well as the nation, which leads the world in fire waste; the figures for the year 1910, rough- ly estimated, speak for themselves—$225,000,000.

FIREMAN’S WIDOW. OTT \ Terminal’s Smoke Nuisance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While the smoke nuisance is under considera- tion the attention of the public and of the city government might well be called to the spot where the nuisance is most intolerable. and where is inflicted the greatest damage to the health of persons. I refer to the Union Station. The smoke and sulphur fumes from the coal burned in the locomotives of the Terminal company in the sheds last night was almost suffocating. Persons early taking sleepers were compelled to endure this

nuisance for hours, ahd travelers cannot under-

stand why a city of nearly a million people will

continue to endure it. The use of oil engines, compressed air en- gines, or electrical engines for switching pur- poses is common elsewhere. Considered on the economic side alone and from the _ railroad’s standpoint, the injury to the furnishings of cars is greater than the saving by the use of coal. It is about time that, irrespective of the question of economy to the Terminal company, the people of this city should insist upon the immediate sup pression of the smoke nuisance at this point at least, for the reason that so long as it continues strangers will continue to regard us as an ag- gregation of villagers. If electric power were adopted the use of the tunnel. would be possible without discomfort to passengers, Now that Rockefeller has purchased a large part of the Gould interest and as he already owns a large interest in the Terminal by reason of his other investments, might he not be induced to remedy this? It would cost him less than his benevolence for the prevention of disease, and it is a bit incongruous for Rockefeller, the philan- thropist, to give millions to prevent disease while Rockefeller, the investor, creates disease by the false economy of a few thousands in the use of soft coal in the sheds at Union Station. LITTLE SMOK®S. BIG JOURNALISM. From the St. Louis Mirror. Reciprocity may not be “so deep as a well, nor“so wide as a barn door, but | ’twill serve” to put somewhat of a crimp in the Progressive Republican League, organized to defeat President Taft for renomination. It pulls the President out of the stand-pat category, and it makes almost inevitable a special session of Congress to revise the tariff downward. If we get the special ses- sion, by the way, it will be due solely. to the agitation-organization genius of one man—Joseph Pulitzer, through his two papers, the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. That is what may well be called big journalism. —

HURTISG WALL STREET'S FEEL- INGS, From the New York World. The Court of Appeals shows little re, gard for Wall street’s feelings and none for its vested rights. If the business of reputable brokers on. the Stock Ex- change must be done according to the rule that a customer’s shares are his own property and not at the disposal of his broker whenever he sees fit to use them, things have come to a pretty pass. Hew is the creation of wealth by run- ning quotations up and down to pro- ceed if a speculator at any time may call for the actual property he beught? The customer sheuld modestly remem- per that he is only a convenience to Wall street, which owing to the high cost ef living needs to make a great deal of money for itself. He should net be exacting and ask te see and fee] what he thought he was paying money for. That is contrary to the custom of Wall street, which is sup- posed to do business on honer. The customs of the Stock Hxchange and the decision of the Court of Appeais conflict, but that may be explained by the ignorance of practical affairs on the part of the judges. The whole inci- dent again illustrates how calamitous it is for the courts to meddle with established business practices. To the Steck Exchange such interference can- not but appear highly mischievous. : An Anti-Lobbyist Wanted. To the Edytor of the Post-Dispatch. It is to be hoped that the new interests in con- trol of the Missouri Pacific system will avoid the use of legislative attorneys or lobbyists, a prac- tice which so distinguished the Gould regime. The character and capacity of President Gould’s successor will largely determine whether the Mis- gourl Pacific wishes to continue the lobby evil. In this connection the names of the men now being presidency are interesting. Among them is 8. M. Felton, president ef the Chi- cago Great Western and former president of the Chicago & Alton. As president of the Alton, Felton went to Jef- ferson City four years ago to protest against cer- tain legislation believed to be hostile to railroad interests. In the course of his stay there he called on Gev. Folk at the Bxecutive Mansion and, according to the newspaper reports, assured the Governor that his road (the Chicago & Alton) had never maintained and would not maintain a lobby at Jefferson City; moreover, that his company was not guilty, as was the Missouri Pacific and other roads, of giving free transportation to the law- makers and their friends. This was very en- couraging talk, coming from a railroad president, and Folk not only congratulated Felton on his policy but took occasion to say that “if other roads would emulate the C. & A. example there would be fewer bills inimical to railroad inter- ests.” On the day following the publication of the Fel- ton Interview, the Post-Dispatch printed an article showing that the Chicago & Alton, contrary to its president’s representations, was one of the worst railroad offenders at the State capital; that it employed a member of one of the boards of a State eleemosynary institution to hand out blocks of free passes dver the Alton, and that the hum- blest menial in the Legislature as well as his more prosperous associate was the recipient of such favors. Members smiled at Felton’s attempt

Furthermore, Mr. Selfridge has made that store pay. ‘What sort of a shopper is the En- glish woman?” I asked Mr. Selfridge. ‘When shé learns how, she’s like.any other woman, And she takes to learn- ing like a duck to water,” he added, with a reminiscent twinkle. ‘ “You see,’’ he continued, “the art of shopping is comparatiyely new in Lon- don. Shopping is, of course, a very different thing from merely buying clothes as one would buy groceries or medicine... Yet, till the last few years, London women did buy their clothes in exactly that unromantic and _ stereo- typed way. They could do no different- ly, unless, of course, they were wealthy enough to do their shopping abroad. “No woman could enter a London store without being immediately ac- costed by a clerk and asked point blank what she wanted.

NE ef the most convincing signs 6 is the ease with which the base- ball players are now able to secure pro- fessional and Sther jobs worth $40,000 or $50,000 per annum and upward. This de- veloped during the endeavor made by owners to sign up their players for the season. The positions given so far to diamond stars through such oppor- tunities are, according te some classi- fications, proportioned as follows: Bankers, 16. Broke?s, 15. Allround capitalists, 6. Wealthy rancheros (alias farmers), 166. Cabinent members, 4. Directors of mints, 2. Subtreasury chiefs, 6. Steel Trust presidents, L The players are taking it rather hard that the steel people thought se slight- ly of them as to offer but one such po- sition. There are also reported to be a few sturdy minor leaguers who expect to shortly land in positions of trust en- tailing such arduous labor as clipping off coupons and ruining the constitu- tion trying to spend them. The reported seizure of several hun- dred pounds of opium, recently, is not te be taken as having any bearing on the nature or sizé of the jobs these players tell about. ses 8s Isn’t it a shame for a man with the name of Divorski to be playing base- ball?

' HH remarkable unanimity with T which Eastern writers disagree as to the result of boxing contests must make it somewhat difficult for bettors to separate a stake holder from the bet money without dismembering him. Nearly every fight that is any- thing like close brings out a ‘kaleido? scopic decision, when the opinions of the various critics are assembled for inspection, showing as many colors as there are verdicts. If the professional referees are as widely at sea, when it comes to form- ing an opinion as to the merits of a contest, it’s a rare bunch of guess work the public is handed. e ° Points vs. the Punch. Apparently the differences of opinion arise from the varying attitude taken by critics as to what the merits of a contest reaily are. Some take the stand that points’ count and nothing else in limited con- tests. Others believe that the “damage” done should weigh more with the official than the’ tumber of taps administered. Still others think that the fighter hav- ing the best oi the greater number of rounds ought to win; others give the preponderance of weight to the showing made in the last two rounds. Since all the Eastern affairs are Mm- ited, the contests are essentially boxing matches, in which no great endurance test is required of the fighters, as a general rule. The conclusion as to the showing of the men ought to be based on the cleanest hitting and the cleverest allround boxing work. * * = A Coming Champicn. Te French Mexican, Pierre Mau- pome, is really cutting a swath in the three cushion carom billiard game that promises to ease his path into professionalism in short order. Maupome has, since he departed on that memorable campaign through the East, played 15 games and won 14 of them, from ‘the pick of the players in four of the largest cities in the country. He seems to have that real essential of & champion,e réserve strength, which enables him to crawl out in the light when the rush comes, at the end of the battle. In a thoréughbred we call it “class,””’ and it will tell, in every line of endeavor. *. se s Maupome needs but little coaching to- day to wrest the cue laurels from the brow of that celebrated Celt, john Daly, who is polishing up the Lambert trophy against the time De Oro wants a look at it. It requires no stretch of the tmagina- tion to picture Maupome as the holder of the title. In all the list of players ef the Billiard League there is only ene who ap- proaches Maupome.

DETROIT, Feb. 28.—In the season draw larger crowds than the teams in the National League fn 10 years tional seven times. Last year, the National] outdrew the American 154,623, the greatést num- ber since the birth of the younger organjzation, Thig year the American League will have the world’s thampions and the greatest number of individual stars. Of the players whose names are household words the National League has but three—Mathewson, Wagner and Evers. The American League boasts of Cobb, Speaker, Chase, Col- lins and Lajoie. Mathewson doeg not compare with Cobb, Chase and La- jolie, because he works only every other fourth or fifth day while Wagner is on the decline, The Tigers will still be a _ great drawing card. Bush is bound to at- tract more attention this year than before, and Hughie Jennings will be as popular as ever. In Cleveland alone, the Tigers drew more than twice aS many people last season as.any other team, excepting the St. Louis Browns. Detroit drew 88,057 fans to the Cleveland lot, and the Browns, 45,901. ° FOUR M. A. C. BOXERS OFF FOR NEW ORLEANS Four Missouri Athletic Club fighters, chaperoned by Boxing Instructor Hddie ‘Randall, departed for New Orieans Wednesday to compete in a dual show with the representatives of the Young Men’s Gymnastic Club Friday evening. The fighters are Bobby Grescham, 10 pounds; Charley Dalwits, 18 ds; Peter Sturholdt, 188 pounds, and Joe Burke, heavyweight. Burke was sus- pended by Chairman F. J. Curran of the W. A. A. U. Registration Commit- tee, but en the receipt of proof that Burke is an amateur in good standing the suspension was lifted. EX-SOLDIER CHAMPION IS EAGER FOR A BOUT Jimmy Ascher, fermer champion ama- teur boxer of Jefferson Barracks, rep- resentative of the old Broadway Club on the Executive Committee of the W. A. A. U., is eager to get back into the boxing game and wants as his first ep- ponent Charley Conley’s “man moun- tain’? frem Alton, Lou Fields. Ascher boxed in the amateur ranks a couple of years ago as a middle- weight. He met Frank Geschke of the M. A. C., rated one of the best bona- fide middleweights who .ever appeared in a local ring. For two rounds Ascher outpointed his opponent, but Geschke got home with a right hand punch to the body in the third round that stopped Ascher. P. MAUPOME AND CO. SURE OF PENNANT Making a clean sweep of three games in the series with Dave Louderbach, the Brooklyn cueist, the St. Louis team— Maupome, Calmer and Carter—seems al- most certain of landing on top in the National Amateur’ Billiard League. Maupome and Calmer defeated Louder- bach in the final match at Peterson's parlors, Wednesday evening, b0—4l. Cal- mer made the final point for the local team. The St. Louis players will not compete until later in the month, when the Philadelphia experts call. BOBSLED MAKES MILE IN LESS THAN MINUTE HUNTINGTON, N.

NEW YORK SHOOTER CREATES A RECORD NEW YORK, Feb. 22-—New comiputa- tions of the marks made by riflemen at the annual New Jersey champlion- ships held in Jersey City yesterday show that Dr. Walter G. Hudson of New York established a new world’s

record for 198 shots at a 200-yard stand- ard American target. He made 922 points out of. a possible 1000. The best previous record wag 917, made in 1903 by D. W. King of Denver.

Fr AR from quitting the swimming game, C. M. Daniels, the wonderful short distance paddler, has embarked on another career of record breaking, to fudge by his work Monday night at New York, when he reduced the world’s 200 meter mark to 2:28 2-5. The record was formerly held by Frank Beurepaire, an Australian. Daniels is undoubtedly without a peer in the world at swimming . distances up to one mile, either in tank or outdoor contests. It was persistently reported that he had quit the game. It was an- nounced Monday that he was. in the sport again to defend his mony titles. ----— Off-Season Glints From the Diamond

Twenty-four years ago Boston bought Mike Kelly for $10,000 and forced him to sign a $2000 contract—the salary limit at that time. What. would modern players say to a $2000 salary limit? The favors given away at the big ban- quet of the Athletic owners were the most unique ever handed out at an affair of that kind. A small sized ball with a fielding glove and a. catcher’s mitt done up in a neat box was given to each guest.

Sir Roger Bresnahan bids $7500 and Bob Harmon for Howard Camunitsz. The South Atlantic League must like to have its performefs work.

It has also passed a law limiting every club to four pitchers. a howl these four unhappy duffers will set up when the double-headers come due!

Johnson has a fine whip, has a home-run wallop and will make good with the Yankees.”’ : Pitcher Ralph Good, the youngster signed by the Boston Nationals, has been engaged as @ preparatory school teacher in Maine. Hie term does not expire till June and Ralph is all up in the air, as the Boston club wants him to go South withthe team. If Joe Kelley, the Toronto manager, can rejuvenate such veterans as Willie Keeler, Tim Jordan and Bradley, he believes his team will make a powerful bid for the East- ern League pennant. But just now the champion Rochesters are generally picked to win right over again, aa John Ganzel has a great combination of talent.

‘Cubs Can Hardly Hope to Have Improved Team.

in Field This Season Decay of Veterans Imminent, and Youngsters Are Un- promising—Sox Have Strengthened, but Still Appear Weak.

HIS is the third installment of the series of articles telling fans all the facts about all the clubs in both leagues, as they are today. No attempt is made to prédict where any team will finish, in the respective races. The reader is given all the available information concérning the clubs and may draw his own conclusions. The next number will appear Saturday. F Arthur Hofman sticks to.his deter- mination to remain out ef base- ball, it seems that the chances of the Cubs ef Chicago to win another National League pennant are dimin- ished greatly. Hofman was one of the real stars of the National League champions, a year ago. He is at the height of his career and aside from be- ing the Cubs’ leading batter, was one of the most valuable allround perform- ers on Manager Chance’s roster. If he stays away, his place in center field will be a hard one to fill. Chance has the veteran Clarence Beaumont and Johnny Kane as subs; but neither classes with the St. Louis boy. Baill, the only outfield recruit lined up, hails from the Adrian (Mich.) team. His rec- ord would not indicate that he has a chance to win the place. Granting that Hofman returns to the Cubs, the team has a chance, though certain veterans appear to be tottering. Chance won the flag with a crumbling pitching staff, a year ago. Brown was worked too hard t6 do himself’ justice. Averall’s arm went back on him, and it is a question if he is able to regain his old control. There is also some doubt as to whether he will come Hast from his home in California. Reulbach May Improve. Ed Reulbach got off to a bad start last year, chiefly ‘because he had an- attack of diphtheria just as the sea- son was about to open. Many contend that Jack Pfiester has seen his best day. Young King Cole pitched sensation- al ball, but isn’t expected to do so well this season. Young hurlers seldom fig- ure as prominently in their second year as they do in the first and third. Richie, McIntire and Foxen can be ex- pected to prove of no more value ‘than they were jast season, while Vic Willis can hardly help the Cubs if he failed as a Cardinal. Chance realizes that his pitching staff is not the same as the one which wen pennants for him several years ago, and has endeavored to strengthen by the addition of several youngsters. Among these is Cook, who prospered in the Three-I League a year age. Cooney, who hails from the Spokane team, had a good record out there. Another Three- I League sraduate is Clark. Chance was pretty tucky in grabbing & cen- sational youngster like Cole @ year ago, but the indications are he won't repeat with any of the recruits this year. Kling and Archer are expected to de |

CHANCE’S 1911 SQUAD. First base—Chance. Second base—LEiversa, : Third base—Steinfeldt. Shortstop—Tinker. Left field—Sheckaréd, , Aenter field—Beaumont. Right field—Schulte. To select from: Pitchers — Brown, Overall, Cole, Pfiester, Reulbach, Richie, McIntire, Pfeffer, Foxen, Wea- ver, Willis, Clarke, Cook, Grif- ffin, Kirwan and Toney. Catchers—Kling, Archer, An- gemeier and Needham. Infielders—Zimmerman, Sais- er, Fisher, Ingerton and Doyle. Outflelders—Kane and Ball.

J the bulk of the catching again, pro- vided, of course, Kling returns to the game. He is wearing a grouch and has openly stated that he will not be a member of the Cubs this year. When a player wants to be traded to some otner club, it isn’t always good policy to hold on to him. The only young catcher lined up is Leo Angemeier, who comes from the. Frankfort team. Chance, Evers, Tinker and Steinfeldt @i» again picked as the infield quartet. Surely they will be no more formidable than a@ year ago, while the indications are that they have slumped. Evers hurt hig ankle and not until he gets out to work on it, will it be known whether ‘he is the same performer as of old. Chance has gone back, although he is still a great perfermer. stein- felt, too, has slumped and may be crowded out of his job by some young- ster. The only infield certainty is Joe Tinker, who played great ball last year, suffered ne injury or ailment during the winter and is still a young man. Zimmerman will ve substitute Nd. 1 this year for any position but first base. He may land at the far corner, vice Steinfelét. Doyle, from Louisville, and Ingerten, from Altoona, are others who will see that Steinfelét keeps up his standard of former years. Frank Schulte ig a certainty in the outfield. Like Hofman, he is at the best stage of his career. The same can’t be said for the veteran Jimm7 Sheckard, whese days tn the game will begin te be numbered after the coming searon. But that hole in the center field, if Hofman fails te show, will cause Chance to lose a lot of sleep at night. A Good Pitching Staff Is Main Source of the White ‘Sox Browns, Manager Hughey Duffy (KH -Manager Wallace of the L of the White Sox of Chicago has a difficult task before him. Of one, thing Duffy is certain. As in previous years, the Sox can boast of an Al pitch- ing staff. That’s a big burden off any manager’s mind, but the makeup of the remainder of Duffy’s team is uncertain. Behind the bat he will again have the veteran Billy Sullivan, Jimmy Block and Fred Payne. Sullivan wag valueless the greater part of the season because of an accident during the training trip. He stepped on a rusty nail and blood pois-

HOFMAN REFUSES $5000 CONTRACT Cubs’ Crack Outfielder Demands $6000° Ere He'll Put Down | His Signature. CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 23.—The an- nouncement of retirement by Artie Hofman of the Cubs, which has caused a general panic among the Windy City fans, is not to be taken as & mere holdout yarn, but from the lips of the St. Louis boy is to be true. A two-day’s confab with Own- er Murphy ang Manager Chance failed te bring about the desired results and last night, Artie boarded « train for Akron, O., vowing that he is done with the Cubs and baseball. Hofman’s declaration was that he had decided to give up baseball to}. give all his time td his loan ness, which has developed inte a money maker. Pe Pert on However, there develops an which has‘ been made known and was given out by Hofman in secret just before he jumped aboard his car. Hof-j man’s salary has been around $3500) 7" the past few years. Last St. Louls boy. topped the chi in batting, with a .325 average and 5) Es : Ta i ‘'<* : Sa 2 ; 38 43 ” - eg . Pe % - F g was the star on the offense and de-|*"" fense. When his contract came around | this spring, Hofman put in his figure which was $6000, Murphy almost. col- lapsed. \when he found out what his}! outfieldér wanted. It ig said’ a com- promise on Murphy's part wae almost te $5000, but Artie still holds out for $6000.

peevishness after he fatled to Make good. There are many, among. them Duffy and Comiskey, who believe Blackburne has the makings of a great player. Mec- Connell, the former Boston Red. Sox, will probably be the second sackér, as no fierce rival has been dug up to op- pose him for the job. The job to fill the hole at first base, though, will be Duffy’s big one. He has “Jiggs’’ Donahue, John Collins, Lee Tannehill, Charley Mullen and “Tex” Jones for the bill. Donahue claims he can “come back.” He has been so en- thusiastic about himself that President Comiskey has granted him the privilege but showed for awhile on the first pil- low last fall. Tannebill is the old third sacker of the 1906 world’s champions and will be pressed tnto service as utility infielder, most likely, if he fafis to land hit well and was considered a in the Western.

IRREGULARITY MARKS TRADE IN WALL STREET London Bank Rate Unchanged— Austria Bank Rate Is Reduced. NEW YORK, feb. 3. The. market lapsed into dullness in the second hour, but rallied slowly from a _ slight sellin movement, Prices averaged a fraction above to a frection below Tuesday's Auaia. There was again a broad, active spec- ulation in e bond pam racy at a sterdy range of price Prices on active peauritios showed an irregular range in the early speculation Thursday. .Small losses were the gen- eral rule. Trading largely con- fined to the professionals. - Buying orders from this side gave the London market a steady range with Canadian Pacific a rote J feature, on the passing of the veto bill curtailing the power of the House of Lords. The Bank of England’s discount rate is un- changed at 3% per cent, but the Im- peria!] Bank of Austria has reduced its rate from 4% to 4 per cent. Wall street expects the announcement of the Interstate Commerce Commis- Sion on rates before the close of the week, and confidently expects increases in all flasses. Much of the recent buy- ing bAs been based on this belief, so, should the increases not be entirely up to expectations, selling by disappointed holders may follow. Indications are that an extra session of Congress is now inevitable, and the President has tentatively set March 2 as the date should the reci — agree- ment. fail to carry. The treaty has stirred acute opposition on acific Coast. Iron trade reports are conflicting, but there has been some improvement. The Iron Trade Review says: ‘‘New orders received by the mills ng the first three weeks of February ipdicate that the present month will exceed January ‘in volume of business. Pig iron sales will show a much larger tonnage than January, although a co derable part of it was sold at very low figures. Im- provement is not uniform throughout the market, but upon the whole it is satisfactory. “Arrangements have been completed for. bringing to this country about - 000 tons of Spanish ore, practically all representing new sales just closed. As negotiations for pig iron delivery dur- ing the last part of the year become a neral, there is more interest in e Superior iron ore situation, but ag steps have yet been taken which in dicate what ces will prevail for this year’s igi Oe DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S — ‘TRADING ON WALL STREET the nnn _ Genera fic there Fe eee
