- BURROWS WANTS SENATE TO VOTE. ~ONLORIMER TODAY Dectares He Will Keep the Mat- ter Up All the Afternoon if Necessary. SEVERAL YET TO SPEAK La Follette Is Mysterious, Inti- ' mating Important Develop- ‘ments Yet to, Come. ; By ‘Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—‘With the Lorimer resolution on the calendar as unfinished business I shall press it to the utmbst,” said Senator Burrows, chairman of the Committee on Privi- leges and Elections, as the Senate went into session today, “J shall ask the Senate to take up the Lorimer question at 2 o'clock if by that time Senator McCumber has con- cluded his reciprocity speech and shali keep it to the front until 5 o’clock, when necessarily it will be displaced by a special order of the Senate for eulogies on the late Representative W. C. Lover- . ing and C..Q, Tirrell of Massachusetts. Whenever the speaking on the subject of Lorimer is concluded I shall insist on a vote.” ‘Whe Lorimer program shows that Sen- ators Stone, Owen, Crawford and Root, and possibly Senator La Follette are yet to speak. La Follette’s attitude is idaiberwe a mystery. When last night he objected to fixing a day for a vote he intimated that there might yet be important de- velopments, but did not indicate their nature. He did not say that he would continue to resist a vote, but it is un- derstood he represents an element which would Mke to have the question post- ,oned until the next.Congress, because of the belief that the opposition then. ould have a better chance for success. On the other hand, most senators dread the possibility, of again having to explore the weary maze of the case. rere ‘Stone stood first among the yet to be heard.

RIOT FOLLOWS UOT. OVER NEW PLAY IN PARIS Fights in Gallery, Horns and Fly- ing Pigeons Interrupt Beran- stein’s Production. POLICE .STORM' RIOTERS Author Asks for Parole of Prison- er, So He Can Fight a Duel With Him.

By Agsociated Press. . PARIS, Feb. %.—There were riotous scenes at the Comedie Francaise last night in the course of the production of Henry Bernstein's ‘‘Apres Moi’ rival- ing those which, in 1891, forced the with- drawal, after two presentations, of Vic- torien Sardou’s ‘‘Thermidor.” Le Pine, the Prefect of Police, had hundreds of police and Republican guards scattered about inside the theater. In the first act, where Lebargy is asked the question, ‘““‘What is the most irreparable thing. in life?’’ a man in the balcony shouted! a coarse epithet as a response. Instantly the theater was in an uproar.. Cries of ‘“‘Put him out,” and of ‘‘No, no!” were everywhere yelled, as detectives dragged the offending man ‘from his seat. : Fighting Interrupts Play. This demonstration was followed by cries of ‘‘deserter,’’ and “down with the Jews,’ and it was several minutes be- fore the manifestants ceased and per-' mitted the actors to proceed. A moment later, pigeons which had been hurled from the gallery caused women in the audience to shriek as they fluttered helplessly in the orchestra. In the intermission after the first act of the ‘“‘Camelots Du Roi’’ started a riot in the gallery and as they were dragged out, several were struck by adherents © Bernstein. After that scores of }spectators, men and women, with threatening gestures, engaged in loud arguments for and against -the play. The ‘climax of tbe disorder was reached in, the second act .when six men barricaded themselves in a. ‘“‘Joge’ and caused a suspension of the play for five minutes by blowing fish horns. The po- lice battered in the door and arrested the disturbers. . Wapnts,to Fight Duel. There is a sensational controversy g0- ing .on. in the newspapers concerning. Bernstein, who -has, written a letter to Le Matin, admitting he had deserted from the army four months before his time was up, but declaring this act was due to his infatuation for a woman. Bernstein wrote a letter last night to M. Briand, the Premier, asking him. to give the Loyalist Lacour his liberty temporarily so that the author might fight a.duel with him. Lacour, who is vice-president of the ‘‘Camelots Du Roi,” is in jail for assaulting Premier Briand last November. He sent his seconds to Bernstein yesterday. 223 YEARS IN PRISON

ROWE COMPLAINED TOGOVERNOR OF POLICE TREATMENT Attorney and 11 Others, Arrested for Poker Playing, Were Held _. Without Bond. in” CELL. "FIVE HOURS Letters to Chief and Police Board Have Been Filed Without Any Action. The filing of a second report by Lieut. Hoffman of the Laclede Avenue Police Station on the raid made a month ago at the Kenrick Club by the gambling squad, revealed Saturday that Attorney Thomas J. Rowe, one of the men ar- reste_, has made complaints to Chief of Detectives Smith, the Police Board, and to Gov: Hadley, and that al! have been pigeon-holed. Rowe's principal complaint is that he and 11 others arrested in the alleged poker game at the club were held five hours at the police station without being allowed to give bond. They were marked on the police blotter ‘held for the chief,’’ and it took strenuous work by friends to obtain the release of the men. Three touring cars drove up in front of the Kenrick Club on Olive street near Grand avenue late at night a month ago. The autos were occupied by Detectives Wells, White and Ste- venson, comprising the gambling squad. They arrested 12 men in an alleged poker game in the club, one of the men being Rowe. The prisoners were taken to the Laclede Avenue Station and locked up. Complains to Chief. Instead of making a charge against the prisoners, they were held as wit- nesses for the grand jury. Rowe, as spokesman for the others, demanded that they be allowed to give bond on gome charge and be released.. Lieut. Hoffman, who was in charge of the station, refused to accept bond, saying the men were held for the chief. Five hours. latet friends gave a com- mon law bond to cover any charge, and the men were released. Rowe made a _ formal Chief of Detectives Smith, the detectives overstepped their duty in imprisoning the men without making a specific complaint against them so that they could give .bond. No action has been announced on the complaint. a Writes to the Governor. ‘Rowe next wrote a letter to the Po- lice Board, making formal complaint against the detectives and Lieut. Hoff- man. The board ealled on Hoffman for a report, and it..was made. Hoffman detailed his actions during. the five hours the men were imprisoned. The report was filed and the — complaint placed in a pigeon hole, where it yet re- mains, The next move of Rowe was to write a letter to Gov. Hadley, reiterating his complaints. This letter was referred back to Police Board by the Governor. fhe Police Board in turn referred it yack to Lieut. Hoffman and asked for a report. Hoffman has now filed. his sec- ond report, and.the entire proceeding has been placed in a pigeon-hole at the headquarters of the Police Board with- out further action. The 12.men arrested were summoned as witnesses before the grand jury in an effort to reach the’ men alleged to be running the poker game at the club. They have given their testimony. No formal complaints were made against the men in the potice court. Doesn’t Understand Charge. Rowe told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that he wrote a letter to Gov Hadley after he failed to get any satis- faction from the’ Police Department as to the meaning of the charge ‘‘Held for the Chief.”’ “I told the Governor in my letter that 12 permanent and reputable residents of St. Louis had been incarcerated and held priso:.ers for several hours on the charge “Held for the Chief,’”’ Rowe said. “I can understand that if a crook is picked up in 8st. Louis, and the police have reason to believe that .he is wanted for some other city, they will be justified in holding him. This gives them 24-hours in which to find whether the man is wanted for a crime before he is released. “But where reputable citizens who live complaint to -| here ,permanently are locked up on a gambling charge, or any other charge, they should be allowed to face a com- plaint and give bond for their appear- ance. They should then be relé&sed to appear for trial at the time set. Herded in Police Station. “We were herded in the police station for severai hours without a chance te give bond, simply because the charge ‘Held for the Chief’ was ‘written op- posite our names. We were able to give ‘bond, and demanded that bond be accepted. Five hours later. friends gave a common-law bond for us to answer any charge preferred against us the following Tuesday, We appeared in Police Court Tuésday,) but no charge was made. We were then released. “Y wanted the Governor to understand how things are done in St. Louis. That is the reason I wrote direct to him.” Rowe received an answer from the MGovernor to his letter, stating that st. Louis Police Board, he said. oe More for Dreadnaughts, SANTIAGO, Chile.

GAGCED, STRPPED, ROBBED, HE SAYS 3 MEN ARRESTED Man Tells Police Former Patrol- -man, Restaurant Man and Cook Assaulted Him.

cHanens THREAT OF FIRE Alleged Assailants Deny Story, One Avers John Angelo Was ‘Seeing Things.’’

Charging that he was dragged into the kitchen of a restaurant, gagged, stripped, held tyfo hours, and robbed of hig knife, watch and money, Jéhn An- gelo, 34 years old, of 2610 Howard street, caused the arrest, early Saturday, of Thomas Lynch, former patrolman, Wil- ; liam Kieger~proprietor of a restaurant, and Herman Thomas. a cook. A knife, identified by Angelo, was found in the. possession of Lynch when he was ar- résted. The men are held at the Dayton Street Police Station. Angelo was in a saloon at 2601 Howard street Friday at 10 p. m. He was 4p- proached by Lynch, he says, and told that someone wanted him outside. After he went out of the saloon with the former . policeman he was pushed and dragged by Lynch to the restaurant con- ducted by Kieger at 1539 North Jeffer- son avenue, Angelo told the police. When they reached the restaurant, Angelo’ says that Kieger and Thomas assisted Lynch to drag him to the kitch- en, in the rear. He says he was stripped of his clothing, gagged with a towel and that the men threatened to throw him into the large stove if he made an out- cry. He told the police he was released after midnight by Thomas, and that his watch, a pearl-handled pocket knife and $16 in cash were missing from kis cloth- ing. Angelo then told his story at’ the ‘Dayton Street District Station. Lynch was arrested at his home, 2224 Howard street, at 3 a. m. and locked up. A pearl-handled knife, as described by Angelo, was found in his possession. l-ieger was arrested at his home, 1514 North Twenty-fifth street. Thomas was taken into custody at Kieger’s restau- rant. The men-will be held until an in- vestigation of the complaint can be made by the Circuit Attorney. Discharged for Shooting.” Lynch served three weeks as a pa- trolmen sometime ago. He was dis- charged by the Police Board after he had fired several shots along Jeffer- son avenue and resisted the efforts of two other patrolmen’‘to arrest him. Lynch said Saturday.morning that he left the saloon at the request of An- gelo, who asked him to go to the Kieger restaurant. He denies using any violence on Angelo and attributes the charges to the vivid imagination of his accuser. Lynch says that Angelo was “seeing things’ Friday night and ac- cusing everybody he met of various misdemeanors. Among his accusations was a charge that Lynch had been flirting with Mrs. Angelo. Both Kieger and Thomas also deny all. the charges made by Angelo and say he was not molested while in the restaurant, The pearl-handled knife, as described by Angelo and found in possession of Lynch, is one Lynch says he bought several years ago and has carried ever since.

A controversy over a missing penny caused Principal Moyers to whip the 9- year-old son of Sampson. The next day Sampson went to the school and struck the principal in the face, knocking him down, the testimony showed. Moyers push Sampson out of the school build- ing. A charge of.disturbing the peace of Miss Adele Wilcox, a teacher, is pending against Spencer, and is set for trial next Saturday before Justice H. W. Belding of Webster Groves.

KATHERINE ELKINS AND “BILLY” HTT SHOP IN NEW YORK Appearance of Solitary Ring on Her Hand Revives Stories of an Engagement.

| By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW . YORK, Feb. 25.—A revival of the report of an engagement between Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia, and William F. R. Hitt, son of Robert R. Hitt, who was a Repre- sentative from Illinois, has followed a visit paid to New York this week by Miss Elkins with Mrs. Hitt and her son. The party registered at the St. Regis Sunday evening, remained until Wednes- day night, and then returned to Wash- ington. In the three days they were here Miss Eikins and Hitt were close companions. Miss Elkins did a good deal of shop- ping, and wherever she went Hitt also went. The rest of her ‘ime was spent in the suite she occupied with Mrs, Hitt. Gossip came back in every instance to the fact that Miss Elkins wore only one ring upon her left hand, and that that was on the third finger. The stone was beautiful one. One friend, indeed, asked Miss Elkins if the ring did not have the signficance its place would suggest. Miss Elkins laughed the question aside, but with heightened color, it is seid and when another question of the same import Was put to Hitt, it is said he replied that dn answer “would have to come later.” In New York and Washington alike the announcement of an engagement would have caused no surprise at any time within the last three years.

POLIGE CALL FOR BURGLAR BUT FIND FAMILY AT HOME Woman Sees Light at Neighbor’s Door and Sends in an Alarm of Robbers. .Mrs. W. B. Mewhart of 4146 West- minster place called on Mrs. J. S. Thiell, who lives across the street at 4143, Sat- urday morning, and demanded an ex- planation of why she had sent for the police and told them there .were burg- lars in the Mewhart home. The story told by Mrs. Thiel, who has resolved to let burglars carry off the cook stoves of her neighbors before she again sends in an alarm, is that she stood at her window and saw the burg- lar enter the house. “TI saw a man fumbling around the door of the house across the street,”’ she said, “and when an automobile came by he stooped down as if he didn’t want to be seen. Then a taxicab came by and the man again tried to hide. He was trying to fit a key in the door and I saw little flashes of light such as are made by pocket flashlights. Sees Man Enter Home. “Then he opened the front door and went in, leaving the door open. I awoke »my husband and he telephoned to the police that there was a burglar in No. 4146. ' “In a few minutes the police auto came, and three patrolmen were with it. Two waited outside, one in front, the other going to the rear, and the third went into the house. In a few minutes they rode away in the auto.” Mrs. Mewhart’s version is that she and her husband were out iate Friday jnight and when they came home they had supper. While they were eating in the kitchen a policeman came in, the front door having been left ajar, and ] wanted to arrest Mewhart for a burglar. “I don’t mind,’ said Mewhart, “but you'd better come back in the kitchen and take my wife, teo. I don’t like to ge by myself.” d The policeman went back to the kitch- en and found Mrs. Mewhart eating a sandwich. Then he and Mewhart searched the house without finding a burglar.

MILLER TALKS OF REPORT Company Head Criticizes New Rate Proposed by Public Service Commission, Credit for the success of the fight to reduce rates for electricity in St. Louis is given to the Post-Dispatch by Felix P. Lawrence, a member of the Chou- teau-Lindell Improvement Association. At the public hearing on the bill to fix a maximum of 9% cents per kilowatt hour for current and to impose other regulations on the Unton Electric Light and Power Co., Lawrence said that the Post-Dispatch had brought about legis- lation authorizing the city to lower the company’s rates. “Before the Post-Dispatch began its campaign for fairer rates and better service, it was impossible for a custom- er of the Union company to get a hear- ing or obtain arm adjustment of a com- plaint,””’ Lawrence told the committee, ‘‘When the Legislature began to con- sider the Cooper act, the Union's tac- tics underwent a slight change. Then, when that measure was enacted and the Municipal Assembly started to establish a public service commission, the Union became even more polite. After the commission was established the Union used billboards to tell the people to ‘be quick to kick if the bills seem wrong.’ Orusade Causes New Attitude. Mr. Miller was brought to St. Louls to take charge of the company. This new attitude toward the public is due to the crusade which the Post-Dispatch has made and is still making for lower rates.” Sheridan Webster declared that 8 per cent, the rate suggested by the Public Service Commission as a fair return on the Union’s earning value of $16,000,000, was higher than financiers usually ex- pect on an investment that large. “There should be no minimum charge,” Webster said. “This proposed ordinance permits the Union to collect a mjnimum of 50 cents a month from those who pay the maximum of 9% cents and $1 a month from all other consumers. By establishing a rate of 9% cents per kilowatt, the company might compel all its consumers to pay a minimum of $1 @ month, — “A maximum of 6 cents per kilowatt would be none toe low, but the best so- lution of this whole problem is mu- nicipal ownership,” Webster said:: If the enforcement .ef -the maximum of 9% cents to small consumers. forces the company to raise its rates to large users of current Lyman T. Hay of the ; Jefferson Hotel satd--he ‘would be obliged to install a private plant... An- swering a question asked by Sheridan Webster, Hay said that’ his hotel was paying 7% cents per kilowatt. Asked by Company te Protest. George N. Meissner, secretary of the McKinney Bread Co., and John F. Far- ish, a real estate operator, declared that an increase in the rates to business houses would cause them to establish private plants. Farish said he had been requested by the Union company to at- tend the puwblic hearing and protest against the adoption of the proposed bill. President Alten 8. Miller of the. Union company said that the Public Service Commission’s report was a great shock to him, when he found that the Union’s valuation, attested by the sworn testi- mony of experts, was ignored. The com- mission obtained the data for its val- uation, he said, without consulting the Union or submitting any figures to the company. The Union had not access to the commission’s information, he said. “The earning value given to the Unton’s properties by the commission was not ascertained, so far as I know, from sworn witnesses,’’ Miller declared. ‘We were surprised to find that the cost of organization which we claimed as representing 8 per cent of the value of our properties was not allowed by the commission. Our allowance of $8,- 000,000 as the value of our real estate, exclusive of buildings, was reduced by the commission to $800,000. ‘We ob- tained our figures from Fred G. Zeibig and Eugene H. Benoist, experts in such matters. We don’t know how the commission reached its conclusion that our realty is worth only $890,000. License Valued at $200,000. “although some companies put the cost of financing such enterprises as ours as high as 20 percent, we claimed only 10 per cent. Yet even that amount was disallowed. Our Edison license was valued at $200,000, and this we es- tablished by sworn testimony... The commission refused to: consider that claim also. “In the report made to us by the fim of Ford, Bacon « Davis, it was shown that the cost of obtaining our business was ‘$4,408,469. The commission cut that amount to $4,000,000, I don't know by what process of calculation.” The cost of getting new business Miller said was 60 cents of every dol- lar obtained from new customers. He said that there was no profit in serv- ing residences and - that competitive companies seldom entered that field. John H. Drabele, vice-president and general counsel of the Union, told the committee chat tue Municipal Assembly has no authority to regulate the com-

EDWARD LOUIS UTT,. BOY FINDS A PURSE SEEKS OWNER OF IT BY POST-DISPATCH Hopes to Be Able to Restore It and Does Not Desire Reward for Honesty. Someone who left a pocketbook con- taining $7.16 on the stamp window at the Postoffice Saturday morning will be thankful that there fs such ean or ganization as the Boy Scouts of America, for it was picked up by Edward Louls Utt of 1613 Blair avenue, a member of the Sixth St. Louis Troop of Boy Scouts. Having found the pocketbook the boy scout came direct to the Post-Dispatch office and handed it over with a request that the owner be found. *T don’t want any credit for this,” he said, “but if you can say anything about the Boy Scouts I wish you. would. This idea of getting lost things back to the owner is one of our principles. “When the owner. of this ' pocketbook claims rt and talks about giving me a reward just say I couldn’t accept a reward if I wanted to because that

would be breaking a rule of the organi | zation. If there are any rewards given it must be to the organization and not to the individual scvut. “I was taught to be honest betas ‘T ever heard of.the Boy Scouts, but somehow the principles of that organi- | zation seems to strengthen a young tel-_ low in doing what he knows is right. A good scout doesn’t hesitate like he might if he hadn’t joined, read the rules and promised to obey them.” In the pocketbook there was a milk ticket and this may aid in identification by the owner. |

CLAFLIN GO. ASK ALLEY VACATED FOR Blo STORE New Owners of Scruggs Would Build Up Passage Way Be- tween Buildings. A bill was introduced in the House of Delegates Friday night authorizing the vacation of the alley between the Cen- tury and Syndicate Trust buildings. The introduction of the bill was the first step in the plan of the Claflin company, which firm recently purchased the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney store, to extend the store to Ninth street by taking in the Century Building. If the alley is vacated the Claflin com- pany proposes to have a two-story con- necting building erected between the Syndicate Trust and Century buildings. Walter J. Holbrook of the Holbrook- Blackwelder Real Estate Trust Co., who was interested in negotiating the sale of the Scruggs store to Claflin, told a Post- Dispatch reporter Saturday that all the real estate on both sides of the alley is owned by the Consolidated Realty Co. “No other property owners would be affected,”’ he said. ‘These is no alley either from Olive to Pine or Locust to St. Charles streets corresponding to the alley between the Century and Syndi- cate Trust buildings. No public interest is served by the alley and the public would not be injured by its vacation. “The city would derive a revenue from the taxation of the alley as private property and also from the bullding. ‘“‘We hope that the bill will be passed, as it will enable the Claflin company to expand its store in accordance with the plans it had In mind when it bought the Scruggs holdings.”’ The bill was introduced by Delegate Taussig by request. , 6 PARTED ON.

Jones’ home at 4467 Berlin avenue. He attempted to enter through a base- ment door. When he pulled the door open it made a noise. The watchdog bounded into his mas- ter’s room, and led him to a window overlooking the basement door. Jones raised the window gently and peeped out. He could see the burglar at the door.

If he attempts to get away, I'll shoot him.”’ Mrs. Jones mutinied. She couldn’t possibly think of going to the. telephone while there was a burglar in the neigh- borhood. What if the burglar got in and caught her telephoning? “Oh, well, go to sleep, dear,”’ said the dutiful husband. “T’ll telephone the po- lice and attend to the burglar after- ward.” No Hands to Go Up. Jones telephoned, then got a repeat- ing rifle, crept again to the window, thrust Ms head out, pointed the gun toward the door, and shouted: “Hands up!”’ No hands went up. The burglar had slipped away while Jones was telephon- ing. The police arrived while Jones was still at the window with his rifle look- ing for a burglar to shoot at.

PR PIS ROE. BRIAND, A BY SOCIALISTS, I ON VERGE OF FALL French Premier Charged With Not Properly Enforcing Anti- Clerical Laws. |CABINET CLINGS TO LIFE “s Leader, “Sick of it All,” Wants to Quit, but Postpones His Decision. By Assoctated Press. PARIS, Feb. 2%.—Premier Briand for the first time in his brilliant career as the controlling influence in the Govern- ment of France finds himself on shift- ing sand. It is quite probable the res- ignation of the Cabinet will be presented to President Fallieres Monday. If this course is not adopted, it will be more because of the urging of persona! friends and the fact that no other strong leader appears available than because of any desire on the part of the Premier to continue the fight against the Radical Socialists and Anti-Clericals. The Premier’s friends described him today as ‘“‘sick of it all, worn out phys- ically and weary in spirit over the bick- erings and petty distractions.’’ Only a broad sense of duty will hold him if he remains at his post. Confidence Weakening. But beyond the matter of his personal inclinations there is the unquestioned weakening of the Premier’s power and of confidence in his ministry. The lead- er, who has before survived grave crises and come out with a triumphant vote of the Chamber of Deputies, last night escaped censure of the Govern- ment by a bare majority of 16 votes. The Socialists, who have never forgiv- en the Premier for modifying the ex- treme ecclesiastical views which he championed when he first entered pub- lic life, have attacked him persistently. Recently Briand was assailed jointly by the Clericals and Socialists. Last night he was charged with Clerical- ism. The discussion arose through in- terpellations blaming the Government for not having applied the laws against religious bodies with proper severity. The onslaught was led by the Radical Socialists, Louis Malvy and Paul Meunler. Action Is Postponed. Following the adjournment of the CiHtamber, the Cabinet met at the Pre- mier’s office. Foreign Minister Pichon and Minister of Commerce Dupoy were for resigning at once. All the other ministers were opposed to an immediate retirement unless fur- ther developments should make this move imperative. Birand’s personal wish was te be free from: the obligations of his office but his responsibility to the parliamentary groups supporting him and the country caused him. to.-remain for the present. After a six-hour discussion, an ad- journment..was taken until 9 o’clock this morning. Today the ministers in conference, decided to postpone the question of their resignations until after the ob- sequies of General Brun, the late Minis- ter of War; Monday. The Cabinet will meet at 1:30 Monday afternoon. SENATORS KILL THE DIRECT VOTE BILL Proposed Constitutional Amend- ment Loaded With the Present Election Clause. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The proposi- tion to amend the Federal Constitution to permit the election of United States senators by direct vote was killed when the Sutherland amendment was made a part of it. Next Tuesday, immediately after the reading of the journal, was fixed as the time for the funeral sery- ices. The Sutherland amendment places in the suggested constitutional amendment precisely the same provision now in the Constitution, which gives Congress au- thority to supervise “élections. The amendment alienated every Democratic — and was adopted by Republicans, to 87. pF of the more radical New En- gland senators will vote against the res- olution.

From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, - JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. %.—A mo- tion to dismiss the contest instituted by Howard A. Gass. against: William P. of Public Schools on the ground that the Supreme Court is without jurisdic- tion under the State constitution to try election contests, ing. It is contended by Attorneys Spencer and Hocker that the jurisdictidn of the tribunal is fixed by the State con- stitution and that the Legislature can- not enlarge that scope. The State con- stitution says that the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction only except in certain remedial writs, such as quo warranto, Habeas corpus, certio- rari and mandamus, and these are # Speci fied in the constitution. A motion similar to this was filed by Edwin W. Mills for the Clerk of St. Louis County, and it has not been ‘acted upon, he aot being a party to the contest litigation. The motion by be passed upon and if sustained knocks out all the State contests. — Article 6, section 2, of the State con- stitution says: “The Supreme Court, except in cases otherwise directed by the constitution, shall. have appellate jurisdiction only, which shall be co-extensive with the State, under the restrictions and limita- tions in this constitution’ provided.” Section 22 of article 6 provides that “the Circuit Court shall have juris- diction over all criminal causes not otherwise provided for by law, exclus- ive, original jurisdiction in all civil cases not otherwise provided for.” Election contest cases are‘ not speci- fied in the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, hence it is contended that the Legislature was without sae di to confer Jurisdiction on. it. 100.000 Women Have bought Diamonds of monthly. itis in >

—— NE I eee ee “THE PURCHASE PRICE.” R all the reader does not want To think some lovely intrigante Was back of Aldrich and of Payne, Or deminates the present reign, He may, quite readily enough, Believe it, reading Mr. Hough. Our Mr. Hough, some months agone, Revived the fight for Oregon, And where we had supposed that men Were governing the country then, We ascertained last Spring or Fall That such was not the fact at all It was a woman wondrous fair Occasioned all the trouble there, And what, perhaps, is news to you, As much ifs generally true, As one well knows who reads the stuff Of this diverting Mr. Hough. He has a new book at the stalls. Does woman yearn for overalls Is this romance?. You bet she does, And this affair, moreover, was None less than that whose evil star Brought on the late lamented war. Sweet Josephine, she is by name— A woman of tremendous fame When abolition raised its head And gave the moon a kind of red, Forbidding tint, and politica Were all at seven times and six. She had a scheme to buy the black, Emancipate and ship him back, And sacrificed her great estate To doing this. At any rate, She made a stir that stirred in turn The whole repu lic with concera, And thus it was, as nations must, They humbled her unto the dust, And sent her captive to the West To find the one she loved the best Or do some other harmless thing At which most women take a fling. A prisoner she was, and fast, In old Missouri. Though aghast With horror, still she saw a man Devised upon a likely plan, An. instantly applied her vim To roping ard reforming him. The moral fs, as we suspect, That woman oftentimes has wrecked A commonwealth reforming it, When truth to tell her woman’s wit Had always suited Nature’s plan The better rescuing a man. ("The Purchase Price,” hy Emerson Hough. Bobbs-Merrill.) | SKIPPER AND SKIPPED” AP’N SPROUL §s sailed and he sailed for forty year. .Then he became the backbone of Holman Day’s string of incidents: ‘The Skipper and the Skipped.” It is a thousand pities Mr. Day did not read ‘‘Col. Tod- hunter of Missouri’ before undertaking to put Cap’n Sproul into fiction. We need something beside right intention to make us love a character. The Cap’n is most generally right, but he ifs so all fired cantankerous about it that we sympathize more with the folk who were wrong. One could scarcely expect a sailor who had for years sailed deep water; skipping Portygee sailors, would be very mild in his manner, but a trained fictionist might lend him a little suavity, even as he violated the canons of realism in order that he might wed the doting woman whom he rescued from the skinflint brother. Then, too, had Mr. Day sought the collaboration of Ellis Parker Butler, he might have made us enjoy Cap’n Sproul’s friend, the retired circus manager, and the lat- ter’s elephant friend, who are so small in the landscape yet might be more than an alien daub of color. However, ‘“‘The Skipper and the Skipped” is good char- acter work. (Harper’s.) “THE THE “ONE WAY OUT.” ¢¢ OC: WAY OUT” is the name of this pean to a good wife. Its subtitle is Class New Englander Emigrates_ to America.’’ A simple story, perhaps a human document. It is written in the first person, and is supposedly by one who.“‘for convenience’s sake” calls him- self William Carleton. If the story rep- resents life, it naturally becomes more interesting, even though it is very in- teresting as fiction. It tells of an of- fice man of American ancestry who lost his position and became an emigrant. He started over again, beginning as a laborer digging in a ditch. The story seems to be written as a tribute to his wife, Ruth. If she is all that is claimed, he should be regarded as the luckiest of men. Ruth is not an impossible or improbable character. Few though such wives be in the world, there are some, nevertheless. She willingly goes down with him to the tenement district, works at his side as a good wife, cares for their boy and shares with husband and son everything. She sings at her work, is light-hearted, ready to advise and to enoourage. In a word, she acts the part of tne true wife. If we could find a way of educating more Ruths, the di- vorce courts would have to be closed and discouragement would become un- known among men. Of course, one trouble with the story is its glorification of squalor. It is all very well to make the best of things. But, why glorify poverty? After all; sensible living in a suburb is preferable to a tenement. Nor’ can Carleton’s “way out’’ be the way out for all who suffer and are heavy-laden. If all of- fice men went to look for work as ditch diggers, there would be an abundance of unemployed ditch diggers: Nor can all who dig become contractors and go

es od Chicago makes a strong plea in behalf of the laboring people of the United States in his monograph on “Industrial Accidents and Their Com- pensation.”” The work won first prize in the Hart, Schaffner & Marx Economic Essays Contest. The subject is well covered, and there is no doubt that the judges have done well in awarding Mr. Campbell the prize. 'In this work the reader learns that more industrial accidents happen iin America than anywhere else in the civ- ilized world: He also learns that in no other country are the workers protected so little. The worker is, in-fact, left to tender mercies of employers and of insurance companies in case of accident The result is that he goes to the scrap heap in most cases, joining the large class,of paupers who have to fall back on the philanthropic agencies of society. In case of fatal accidents the reader learns that those dependent on the vic- tim simply remain helpless in most cases, or receive a pittance, To add to the deficiency of the laws in this respect, there are the employ- ers’ liability insurance concerns, which, according to the author, are cheating the injured worker or his family from what might be+gotten from ,the em- ployer. His figures sh@w that in 1905 an average of $23 each was paid to injured workers by such companies. Two years later the average was only $21.58. The average is on the decrease. These com panies paid in 1907 only 42 per cent of their premiums. A great deal of “he rest went to litigation, some for office expense and the rest into the pockets of shareholders. In the last chapter the author shows that other countries have found it pos- |sible to make industry pay for these terrible losses in human flesh and blood, Germany and Austria were among the first to pass adequate laws. England followed, and now all the principal coun- tries in Europe have pretty adequate systems of accident insurance and com- pensation laws. Among the remedies proposed by Mr. Campbell are the fol- lowing: Employers should be held accountablis for the safety of surroundings and equipment. Employers should be held accountable tor the negligent acts of their employes The employer’s defense of contributory negligence should be denied. Employers should be held accountable for unpreventable aecidents. Employers should bear the burden ol proof. Compensations should be paid accord- ing to a definite scale fixed by law and varying According to the age and p?- cunlary situation of dependents. Payments should be guaranteed by adequate insurance. Compensation payments sheuld be con- served, It is desirable that the book fall into the hands of all employers, particularly | of those who are engaged in industries’ demanding a large foll of fe and blood on the part of the workers. It is well gotten up and adequately indexed. It is also well written. (Heughton-Mifflin

A EET A TS eT * . # fer apy we ie wae eri "© SATURDAY EVENING, 2% i oe aa FEBRUARY 25, 1917. —* _~_ ord ¢ ~ class mattter was stupendous: from THE POSTOFFI 5 AND ~ THE PERIODICALS © N FEBRUARY 9th, a “rider,” a form of legislation positively prohibited in many of the States, was, in the United States Senate, suddenly and unexpectedly tacked onto the Post Office Appropriation Bill (which had already passed the House) providing in effect that: , Beginning on July 1, 1911, the postage rate on every “sheet” of a periodical other than a newspaper on which any adv cents a pound, except that periodicals mailing less than 4000 pounds of each issue are exempt. The Post Office claims that second class mail causes a loss to the Postoffice and is responsi ertising is printed be increased from one cent to four “4 x ible for the deficit; that magazines, owing to their longer haul, cest the Government five cents a pound to transport, while newspapers cost only two cents a pound to transport; that magazines carry more advertising than newspapers. A HIS bill if it passes means serious loss to all peri- odicals and financial death to some publishers. The facts and figures prove:— That instead of second class mail causing a loss of millions to the Postoffice, the deficits have al- ways DECREASED when second.class mail INCREASED, over the whole period of thirty-two years in which second class mail has had the pound post- age rate. (Exhibit A.) The publishers show below how second class mail re- duces the deficit. (Exhibit E.) ; ; That to single out magazines from other. sécond’ class matter for an in: creased rate is unjust. That the Postmaster General has only considered the cost of the HAUL and utterly ignored the larger cost of HANDLING. ‘THE PROOF © N REPLY to the requests of many friends of the magazines, we publish this nec- essarily brief statistical exposition of the reasons why we believe the Senate meas- ure directed against the periodicals is unjust, confiscatory and futile. : The only way we ‘an hope to get the ear of the people in time for them to prevent ‘a ruinous injustice is by advertising in the daily press. : , Exhibit A Pi Is the Deficit Duc te Second-Class Mail? ae Annual Reports of the Postmaster Genera! are the authority for the following figures: In the year 1870 there was a deficit in the operations of the — United States Postoffice Department of 21.4 per cent of its turn- over, In 1879 there was passed the act that put second-class matter on a pound-payment basis. An immediate increase in second-class matter began. | ' In 1880 there was a deficit in the Postoffice operations of only 9.6 per cent of its business. In 1885 was passed the law that made the rate for second-class matter 1 cent a pound, which still further increased second-class mail. It trebled in the decade preceding 1890. in 1890 the deficit in the operations of the Postoffice Depart- ment was 8.8 per cent. . The next decade brought a much larger increase in second-class matter than any previous ten years, from 174,053,910 pounds in 1890 to 382,538,999 pounds in 1900. The deficit in the Postoffice operationsin the year 1900 was 5,2 per cent of its business. In the prosperous years Showing 1900 the increase of second- 488,246,903 pounds in 1902—only two years. In 1901, nevertheless, there was a deficit in the Postoffice operations of only 3.5 per cent of its business. Ana in, 1902 the deficit in th Postoffice operations was 2.4 per cent, the smallest percentage of deficit in eighteen years, and the smallest but two in fifty-seven years. But in this year is seen a new important item of expense, $4,000,000 for rural free delivery. Our Government had wisely and beneficently extended the service of the Postoffice to farmers isolated communities, By 1910 the Government was spending $35,- 000,000 for rural free delivery, and losing $29,000,000. ‘a Will be clear from these figures that beginning with the ad- vent of the second-class pound-rate system the deficit of the Post- office has steadily declined—th. decrease being always co-ncident with the expansion of circulation and advertising of periodicals— until im 1902 there was a substantia] surplus, which the Government wisely saw fit to use for a purpose not relate to the needs of maga- zines and periodicals. : Since 1902, there has always been a surplus in the oper: tions _ of the Postoffice Department, outside of the money the Government has seen fit to expend for rural frea delivery. In the present year 1910 the report ox the Postmaster General shu ws a surplus of over $23,000,000, The years 1902 to 1910 have shown a surplus in the Postoffice profit and loss account aggregating over $74,000,000, ovt- side the actual Joss on the rural free delivery system. It should be borne in mind that the turning of large deficits inte actual surpluses, which has come coinc ‘ently with th expan- sion of second-class mail, of circulation pushing, and of advertising, is in upite of an »nurmous expansion in Governmontal mail, carried free, and Congressional mail, franked. ee Exhibit B - The Injustice of Discriminating Against Magazines Tr Postmaster General gives the magazines weight as 20.23 per cent of the whole second-class mail. Why concentrate all the increase on a 20 per cent clasgification? The Administration says (a), magazines carry more advertis- ing than newspapers; (b), they cost the Postoffice Department more than newspapers because they are hauled farther. (a) It is not true that magazines carry more advertising than newspapers. Newspapers, by actual measurement, carry 4 per cent more advertising in proportion to reading matter than do magazines. (b) Tho Postoffice Department states that, owing to the dif: ferent average .lengths of haul, it costs 5 cents to transport a ms magazines and 2 cents to transport a pound of news- Besides the cost of transporting mail, figured, of course, by weight and length of haul, there are three large factors of cost, apportioned according to the number of pieces of mail. The second-class mail share of these cost items is given by Post- master General Hitchcock as $39,800,000. By the Department’s own figures, the * share of this (proportioned to number of pieces) ic $2,166,000. The newspapers’ share is $28,782,000. Gon at from the Department's own figures and methods of ae Dividing these sums by the number of pounds of magazines dt newspapers, respectively, in the second-class mails, we 82,538,999 pourds in 1900 to t The cost of hauling and handling magazines, 5 cents pius 1.4 cents........ F 6.4 cents The cost of hauling and handling newspapers, 2 cents, plus 6.75 cents 8.75 cents ‘ So the Bepartment’s own figures make it lose on the funda- mental operations of hauling and handling: 7.75 cents a pound on 426,223,803 pounds..of i newspapers, or : $33,032,844.73 As against losing 5.4 cents a pound on 154,- 719,317 pounds of magazines, or 8.354,843.14 With a loss, arrived at from its own figures, more than 400 - per cent as great on newspapers as on magazines, the Depart- ment goes to the magazines, scarcely one-third the weight of newspapers, and with not one-twentieth the financial ability to pay such a new taz, to meet the whole burden. of this futile and confiscatory attempt to reduce the deficit. , This ig merely a refutation of the Department ’s reason - for discriminating against magazines. We do not believe the figures are*right and we do believe that both magazines and newspapers help the Department’s finances in the last analysis. But the huge injustice and damage of this measure lies in the power given the Postmaster Gencral of life and death over peri- odicals. He is the only one to say what is a magazine and what is a newspaper. There is no definition of a newspaper known in Post- office regulations that would have any bearing on the case where a publisher claimed his periodical was a newspaper, not a magazine. Newspaper and periodical are terms used inter- changeably by Legislatures and Postoffice officials, No man has ever had, in the United States, such power over entire industries.. Ought it to begin in the present situation, where the industries in question are largely the outspoken, pro- gressive periodicals, dealing more and more every year with public affairs and persons, and where the censor is the official in charge of the political fortunes of his Administration? Exhibit C : ! What It Would Cost the Magazines E Kets five general monthly standard magazines carrying the most advertising--EVEKYBODY’S, McCLURE’S, COS- MOPOLITAN. THE AMERICAN, and the REVIEW OF REVIEWS—take from their books of account the following (their net incomes for 1909 being sworn to in their reports to the Federal Corporation Tax Commissioner) TOTAL GROSS RECEIPTS FROM ADVERTIS- : OO 0 a SAS yea $2,463,940.39 NEY RECEIPTS FROM ..DVERTISING 4,204,780.16 But, when we come to total the final net PROFITS of the five magazines we find the figure is 230,734.57 This is explained by the fact that the cost of manufacturing and delivering 11,068,512 magazines—the number mailed to ‘sub- scribers direct by these five publishers during 1909—was $1,387,- 189.80; while the net income from these subscribers was $625,- 298.49, leaving a deficiency on subscription account of $761,891.31 to be made up from advertising gains, before the balance o expenses. including losses in news stand sales, were paid, and any profit showed. This disappearance of advertising gain in giving the public a better article is the economic explanation of the phenomenon of the handsome, well-edited, low-priced American magazines. Phe publisher gets, as a final result of his investment and labor, as ig shown here, less than one-tenth of the money paid to'him for advertising. | In 1909 these five magazines, leaders of the industry in America, cleared, in the aggregate, the sum of,...$230,734.57 A Plain Statement of the Facts B.) That admitting his figures of cost of haul, his own statements of expense and apportionment of expense show that it costs much more to give the Postoffice service to newspapers than to magazines.. (Exhibit That the increased rate would amount to confiscation of the entire net earnings of many magazines and absorb more than 81.8 per cent of the in- comes of even the five standard magazihes leading in advertising patronage. (Exhibit C.) That the proposed measure gives the Postmaster General: power to kill many magazines, or let them live, at his pleasure. That the a cannot ‘‘pass on”’ the increased expense to the con- suming public. (Exhibit D.) PUBLISHERS POSTAL COMMITTEE. On their advertising pages-alone they paid for postage on subseription copies at the 1l-cent-a-pound rate 62,926.03 If the rate had been 4 cents on all sheets on which advertising appeared, it is clear that they would have paid $188,779.56 more than. was actually paid at the 1-cert-a-pound rate. These figures apply only to copies mailed by the publishers (on which aecurate figures are obtainable). They take no account of the news stand copies, mailed at the second-clas® rates by the news companies of the country, The news stand edition, in the case of two of these five leading magazines, is larger. than the editions mailed direct to subscribers. Those additional figures could not be obtained in time to meet this ‘‘snap’’ legislation. These results are for the five concerns in Ameriea publishing standard magazines carrying the largest amount of advertising. But the situation of individuals among even these five of the most prosperous magazines would be vastly more serious. One of these five leading monthlies would, with an increase >f only 1 cent a pound on advertising, show in its final profit and loss account for 1909 a loss in ccnducting its business of $18,405.52. om Exhibit D Can the Magazines ‘Pass On’’ the Iacrease? ¥ Rae 4-cent-a-pound rate on advertising would require an udvance . of approximately 50 per cent in subseriptior. prices of the more widely circulated magazines if the publisher is to recoup himsei? by raising the cost of living to the public in its consumption of magazines. ; Would the public pay 50 per cent more for the same article? The question is answered eloquently and finally by the sub- scription records of the magazines that were forced to increasy their rates on Canadian subscriptions when Canada enforced a 4- cent rate on American ypériodicals. As the discriminatory rate was later withdrawn in certain cases, we have a complete cycle of rec- ord and proof. In June, 1907, the Review of Reviews began to pay 4 cents 1 pound postage on Canadian subscriptions, instead of 1 cent, and in consequence was forced to raise its Canadian subscription price from $3.00 to $3.50 a year. Its Canadian yearly. subscribers in July, 1907, numbered 2975. At once the subscription list began to fall off, and continued to do so steadily until, in January, 1910, it had come -down to 904 names. . Early in 1910 the Review of Reviews was readmitted into the Canadian Postoffice at 1 cent a pound, its subscription price was reduced to the old figure of $3.00, and the Canadian list quickly ‘‘ecame back,’’ having reached already in February, 1911, the figure of 2690 annual subscribers. : What would happen if popular American magazines were in- creased 50 per cent to the public? In this Canadian incident the price of the Review of Reviews was increased only 162-3 per cent and the circulation fell off 69 per cent. Exhibit E How Magazine Advertising Reduces Postoffice Deficits HE astonishing record contained in Exhibit A of the absolutely ‘unvarying coincidence of decreases in. Postoffice deficits with increases in second-class mail is square up against the Postmaster } General ’s statements that the Department loses 8.23 cents on every pound of second-class mail, and loses over $62,000,000 a year as kh whole on second-class mail. | Let us nail down certain specific examples of advertisements inserted in magazines, and follo-¢ the record. right thréugh of the work they did for the Postoffice, the expense they put the Post- office to, and the profit they brought it. , IS oe These specific instances tel] the story.

Hazen, Advertising Director, " The Curtis Publishing Company, 1 Madison Avenue, New York City. @ Dear Mr. Hazen: During the year 1910 we paid the Postoffice Department for carrying our first, third and fourth class mail matter the sum of $496,749.88. We shipped during the year 1910 1,717,514 packages. Of these 809,781 were sent by mail and $07,736 by express. Ali of these would have been sent by Parcels Post if the posta] rates and regulations permitted. We paid tne express companies for the transportation of the packages referred to above $347,392.30. The above statement covers only mail matter sent out of this house. The figures given are accurate. Any statement of the number of pieces of mail matter which we receive would be ap- proximate, but we can safely state that it was in excess ef 4,500,000 pieces of first-class mail matter. This is entirely con- servative. Yours very truly, ~—— COMPANY. (The entire business of this concern comes through magazine a4- vertising.) The publishers have many hundreds of pieces of testimony of this nature, which would require all the space in this newspaper to print in full. Numbers of exact profit and loss statements of specific advertisements with the Postoffice like the first example above are in the hands of the publishers; showing an absolutely - certain net profit to the Postoffice of from 50 per cent to 8528 per cent. 3 ‘ Wire or Write Your Senators or Representatives — —— coc —— ae ee ee oe ee: gee Sie ee 9 ht >. tee $ OT Me Pie a 3 Rs ¥ RET. eee

FREE BRIDGE FRANCHISES. The popular objection to granting a 50-year franchise for the use of the Free Bridge to the Southern Traction Co. of Illinois is that the ap- _Plication is premature. It is a sound objection. The time of the completion of the bridge is so far distant that the only thing determined as to its actual use is. that it shall be open to anyone who wants to use it. Nothing could be more foreign to the purposes for which the bridge was designed or more ab- pnorrent to the idea in its building than that a -grantee. Refusal of this franchise can do no harm to the applicant except as it may interfere with his plans}. He has assurance that he may use the bridge when it is completed. Nothing more is necessary.

——_— ro William’ s dictum that” a suicide is “re- nly to God and his own conscience” is exercise a direct influence on the views nillions of persons in the country where self- mghter is notoriously. prevalent. To-‘‘what to id” an advanced opinion has condoned, in| oa the edicts of church and state, is now UNION ELECTRIC'S CASE. The Post-Dispatch assumed that the conclusion of Yhe Public Utility Commission, after a careful investigation of the property and the business of Union Electric, was fair to the company and to the public. We assumed that there would be ob- jections on the part of the company to any re- duction of rates, but that the recommendations of the commission being fair, the company would better accept it without a costly contest in tourt. This policy. we believe would be cheaper in the iend. Our editorial comment on the commission’s find- ings has been based upon these reasonable as- Sumptions. But Manager Miller of the Union Electric asserts that the company cannot accept the recommendations of the commission without a loss not merely of money on the business the company does, but_of business, which eventually would mean higher rates to the remaining con- sumers or the ruin of the company. He declares the adoption of the commission’s plan of rate ad- justment would deprive the company of its larg- est consumers, who constitute the bulk of its profitable business. . ’ Accepting the elimination of franchise values jand the reduction of the property valuation to one-half the company’s claim, Mr. Miller contends that on the commission’s own showing its rec- ommendations are untenable. It should be borne ° ™ + does not in itself prevent the company from charging a higher average rate or making a great- er profit than at present. The objection of the commission is not so much to the rates as a whole, the average rate and the present earnings, but to the schedule, which it condemns as discrim- inatory. The commission wants the rates more nearly equalized by a raising of the lowest and a lowering of the highest. To this contention Mr. Miller replies that there is no profit in residence service at present rates and to shift a greater loss in residence service to business service would be impossible because the large business consumers would refuse to buy electricity from the company. The Union Electric is entitled to fair consid- eration of its objections and arguments. No one expects a public utility corporation to supply pub- lic service of any kind except at a fair profit. That is necessary not only to its existence but to good service. Any regulation that weakens it or hampers its extension or improvement hurts the public as wel] as the corporation. The Municipal Assembly and the public should have open minds in determining the matter of rates, which are not easily adjusted satisfactorily. Are the rates just to the company? Are they fair to the public? Is the schedule feasible and bene- ficial to all concerned? These are the points to be settled on a sound basis. But the commission’s recommendation must be accepted unless the company makes it clear that they are impractical and unjust. Like the rail- roads, the public utility must lay its cards on the table and submit to an honest verdict. Now that President Baer of the Reading says the rate decision was a ‘great mistake and a grievous injustice and will hurt business ‘and smash prosperity, things are sure to pick up and be lively. . THE CASE oF THE PROTECTED. At Waltham, Mass., 5000 employes of the rub- ber mills and cotton mills are idle. At Fall River

ee Meee Me Rial © tora) neod of inl — t e OF Working four days a week. It is explained that orders are slow and business is dull. It is a singular situation in view of the fact that cotton and rubber are products which have been given the benefit of much protection to the end, of course, that the wage earners may live at the standard’ which is desirable for the effi- cient American workingman. Appreciation of the beneficences of protection will be gained when it is said that the average weekly wage of men in the New England cotton mills is $8.52. To main- tain this high rate cottons are taxed from 50 to 110 per cent. A cog must have slipped somewhere when busi- ness grows slack, when orders don’t come, when workers are laid off, when a million spindles stop—when, in short, protection not only ceases to protect, but the protected workingmen are rompelled to surrender one-third or all of their weekly $8.52. This is the system which Mr. Taft favors—which he purposes using the veto power, ‘so far as he may,” to sustain. fo wt “The roads can’t curtail much more than they are doing now,” remarked James J. Hill, and he: might have added that they will struggle along about the same as everyone else. THE BEST INHERITANCE. The late Edmund Clarence Stedman‘spent the better part of his life in Wall street. He mas- tered its system of business. Perhaps no one in Wall street really understood better than he the means by which the largest amounts of money can be made at the least expense of time and trouble to the maker. His biography, just published, shows. that the accumulations of his lifetime were extraordinary and of great value. A single one of them is the 10 volumes which give a connected view of Amer- ican literature from the foundation of the first American colony. Others, less in bulk, may repre- sent even greater intrinsic values. Considerig his opportunities for the accumula- tion of money, his “‘leavings” in that respect com- pare with those of the late Archbishop Ryan, who, after handling millions by methods which required great business capacity, left a will which disposed of an “estate” of $4000. There may be nothing better to begin life with than a knowledge of what the best in business means. In closing it, the best inheritance left for others can be no better than that Stedman and Archbishop Ryan sought to leave all who would accept it.

Attorney-General Wickersham ‘says that the proprietors and employes of the 4000 -closed bucketshops have gone into other business, thus leaving Wall street a complete monopoly. — i a A, hl Spring milMnery will be “coronation,” “empire,”

Isn’t it sad that the sepuitiats party can no longer use reciprocity for promising ged, cas only? ” LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Initiative in Treaty Making, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, fhe. proposed new treaty with Japan suggests the question whether the encient method of in- itiating treaties provided by the Constitution {fs the best for modern conditions. Under the Con- stitution, the President has power to make treat- ies, subject to the approval of the Senate. This provision of the Constitution was well enough at a period when means of communication were slow and difficult,“newspapers barely existed, and the masses of the people had no way to express their views promptly on public questions. The indus- trial question, in its modern form, was also un- known, The men who made the Constitution had grown up under ideas more or‘less aristocratic. Democracy, as we now practice it, was yet to be evolved. It is natural to the man of today to ask why the plain people, who must bear the consequences of an ill-advised treaty, should not be permitted to share in its initiation. -The proposed treaty with Japan, for example, will seriously affect mil- lions of American working people who will be compelled to compete with the Japanese workers who may emigrate to this country under the terms of the new agreement. If this proposition were placed before American voters, would they ratify it? A like question might be asked in the case of most articles’of treaties, especially such as may result in complications that may bring about war. We are moving for popular government all along the line. And we shall not be disturbed if some }of the necessary changes may call for constitu- tional amendment. The people . now have the means to make their desires known; and they are intelligent enough to take full part in the Na- tional Government. H, M. W.

Missouri Capital’s History. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I noticed a very important point in the resolu- tions adopted by citizens of St. Louis a few days ago against the removal of the capital from Jefferson City. That point ought to me read oF St. Louis people, as follows: 2 On the 6th day of March, 1820, the Oceiiaia of the United States submitted certain propositions to the convention of the Missouri territory, “for their acceptance or rejection, which if accepted by the convention, shall be obligatory on the United States.” .The fourth proposition was that “four entire sections be, and the same are hereby grant- ed to the State, for the purpose of fixing their seat of government thereon.” On July 20, #820, the convention of the Missouri territor’ by solemn ordinance, R. S. 1909, p. 41, said: “Now this convention, for and in behalf of the people inhabiting this State, and by the au- thority of the said people; do accept the five be- fore recited propositions, offered by the act of Congress,” etc., and “do further ordain, agree Baa declare that this ordinance shall be irrevocable | without the consent of the United States.” Looks as if Jefferson City ought to keep the capital. A ST. LOUIS TAXPAYER. Would Keep the Women Busy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. What kind of a man is Theodore Roosevelt any- how? A man who preaches that the women should raise large families and raise them well comes out naw with a cohtradiction that women should vote the same as men do, Does not he know that in order to vote intel- ligently a woman must belong to political clubs, attend meetings, etc., in order to know the ins and outs of. what is going on in the political world? And if so, how in the world can she raise a large family and raise them well, and take proper care of the home at the same time? J. KOPPEL. Proposed Democratic Platform. To the Edrtor of the Post-Dispatch. Chairman Herman W. Fay of the Democratic City Gommittee, asking .for suggestions, permit me, through»your columns, to propose a municipal platform of principles upon which, if adopted by the convention, the party may’ again establish it- self in power. The voters, by which I mean those who do not interest themselves in the making of party nomi- nations, Democrats as well as Republicans, rest under the belief that both parties are more or less under the control of the “good angels’ who furnish the funds to run the campaign. These gcod angels; sometimes called advisory commit- tees, most generally are made up from a number of highly respected, well esteemed business men, whose names may be discovered among the list of shareholders, bondholders or financial institu- tions holding or controlling franchises which should be operated for the benefit of all the people and not for the few. A plank in the platform pledging the candidates that they will bring about a remedy for over- crowding in the street cars, by compelling the utility companies controlling these franchises to furnish adequate and ample facilities to those who are compelled to use them, would win the sup- port, not of the privileged few, but of the ever dominant majority. Another evil not so grievous is the fact that the burdens of taxation (licenses) is in the majority ef instances a hindrance imposed upon industry and enterprise. The many thousands of small merchants, manufacturers, teamsters and sundry other industries earning but a scaht livelihood, and adopted by_many as a means of existence upon failure of obtaining employment, are compelled to ‘pay a sum of money (license) as a punish- ment. A plank in the platform promising efforts to exempt from license tax all such industries earning less than $2000 per year, would be hailed with pleasure of relief by those now suffering from this incubus.

ANARCHISM. From ‘‘Anarchism and Other Essays,’’ by Emma Goldman. : Anarchism—The “phitles of a new social order baséd phy berty unre- stricted by man-made law; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are‘therefore wrong and harmful, as well as. unnecessary. « * = . Anarchism, more than any other social. theory, values human life above things. All anarchists agree with Tolstoy in this fundamental truth: ¥f the produetion of any commodity -necessitates the sacri- fice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it cannot do without that life. That, however, nowisq indicates that anarchism teaches submission. How can it, when it knows that all suffering, all misery, all result from the ewil of submission? Has not some American ancestor said, many years ago, that resistance to-tyr- anny is obedience to God? And he was not an anarchist even. I would say that resistance to tyranny is man’s highest ideal. So long as tyranny exists, in whatever form, man’s deepest aspira- tion must resist it as inevitably as man must breathe. Compared with the wholesale violence of capital and government, political acts of violence are but a drop in the ocean. That so few resist is the strongest proof how terrible must be the conflict be- tween their souls and unbearable social iniquities. High strung, like a violin string, they weep and moan for fife, so relentless, so cruel, so terribly inhuman. In $a desperate moment the string breaks. Un- tuned errs hear nothing but discord. But those who feel the agonized cry under- stand its harmony; they hear in it the fulfillment of the most compelling mo- ment of human. nature, Such is the psychology of political vio- lence. ills,

-———e “CONCESSION,” INDEED! From the Commoner. The New Orleans criticising the Picayune, in Arizona constitution, attacks the recall, especially as ap- plied to judicial officers. The Pica- yune says: “An elective judiciary is about the limit of the concessions that it is safe to make to popular opinion” “Concession’—that is good. Who is this superior person who is making such concessions as are safe to “popular opinion?” One might sup- pose us living under a monarchy and securing such concessions as the king felt it safe to grant. The Picayune useS the language of the aristocratic “popular opinion” and steadfastly be- lieves that unpopular opinion should control. The recall is feared by such because it is democratic and increases the power of the people.

ae eabiGiaes ee «2 . ARIS has spoken. The high note } } of feminine folly has been struck. The harem skirt is to succeed the hobbled horror which has made women hideous and ridiculous during the past year. Already the “mannequins” ef the great French dressmakers have worn publicly the frankly bifurcated garments which their employers are trying to Introduee. In the window of one of America’s most expensive establishments, a gown show- ing the harem skirt is being displayed. “American women will never wear anything so ugly, so ridiculous!” ex- claimed a woman who saw this singular garment yesterday. But she was wrong. Our adoption of the hobbled skirt proved that— ' Our ailliness tn the matter of fashion is limited merely by the inventions of Paris. : Whatever French dressmakers are crazy enough to invent American wom- en are crazy enough to Wear. Suffragists and anti-suffragists may differ as to the desirability of woman's political emancipation, but there are few leaders in cither camp brave enough to hold out against a generally prevail- ing style. | When the hobble skirt came in the feminine reformer could not help reflect- ing that though you emancipate certain women against their will, though you give them all the rights in the world, the slave instinct must reassert itself. The moment you free their brains they proceed to tie up their feet. T is a singularly incomprehensible psychology which prompts women to associate the idea of: trousers with that of liberty. From the days when Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton made a brief and inglorious de- but in the bifurcated bags invented by Amelia Bloomer to the recent appear- ance of Alma Webster Powell in her hussar uniform, there seems to have been a very general feminine notion that servitude is put on and off with a skirt, This belief is the more astonishing as the trousers are those in which she is most servile and least respected. In Turkey, China, Persia and parts of India, in Morocco and Tunis, women enjoy the full emancipation of trousers, but are held in an abject bondage which West- ern women find it difficult to realize or understand. Why should we take our fashions in clothes from the harem any more than our fashions in morals? -- . After all, what an ethical anachron- ism there is in wearing the divided skirt of the harem without having the * divided husband as well. If we take their costumes, why not their customs? Polygamy itself is not more inartistic than the harem skirt, and not more tmmoral, for nothing is more immoral than a deliberate lack of beauty. Doubtless the hideousness of the new fashion is all that is needed to insure its success. But why cannot the few really beautiful women realize that fashion is the republic wherein all wom- en are born with equal possibilities for ugliness. It is all well enough for a woman with a bad figure or one whose features seem to have-been bought on the installment plan to wear crazy clothes. Why should a normal creature of even fair attractiveness adopt the uniform of the ugly ducklings? Venus in a harem skirt would not present any ‘marked superiority over Dr. Mary Walk- er if the latter lady should forswear her trousers and frock coat for the new ' fashion. a woman a compensating fate ha ' given the most suave and gracious lines known to Nature or Art. Yet she has shown always a decadent desire to distort and cheapen her own charms. And if the fashions of the last few years may be taken as an indication, she jg tending, more and more to incon- _gruity, and folly. The sheath, the hobble and now the harem skirt. What a descending scale they mark, not only in beauty but in brains! It is our habit to &peak patronizingely of the gowns our mothers wore in the "80s. ‘These hideous bustles! Those ‘trying basques!"” we exclaim. “How could women go distort themselves?” Cur superiority is unmarred by the eonseiousness of the hobble skirt we co are wearing at the moment; the harem skirt we may wear next mopth, the - polind or two of dead Chinese hair ob- structing the circulation in our scalps. ’ _Neither is it clouded by the memory of the “moyen age” own with the waist _ @t the knee, which we wore last year; thes peach basket hat, the 600 button _ dress, the “moujik" costume, greatest of ali Russian atrocities; the suspender Po - erage, the kangaroo walk; the balloon _ wleeve—all the sartorial nightmares _ which a brief glance at the immediate mast brings in review. Thinking of these things, glancing about us in restaurants and roof gar- ala attire; we are led to wonder if this 3 folly of fashion has not driven sense of beauty from women’s souls. Skirt goes by. countries wherein woman wears. “Wit frenzied fashion. “What can we do?” they _urge. “If we don’t follow the fashions the men won't follow us. Our husbands, or sweethearts, will trail after women who wear the harem skirt.’’ Men are practical creatures, and extraordinarily catholic in their taste in women. A man likes the woman he can get. He admires whatever is pa- raded for his admiration. If the woman who seeks to interest him doesn’t fit his ideal he cuts his ideal down to fit the woman. But this doesn’t mean that he isn’t capable of admiring something better when it comes along. In fact, most domestic troubles arise from his tendency to do so. HEN Thackeray made his famous remark that any woman without a hump could marry any man she chose he understated fhe case. The hump would have enly to become fashionable —and any one of 10 French dressmak- ers could make it so—for men to be persuaded that it was a mark of dis- tinction and grace. So far as admiration of types or fash- ions is concerned, women are the ab- solute molders of masculine opinion. Ten or fifteen years ago women pad- ded their hips and the fiction of the day dwelt approvingly on the “opulent curves” of the then fashionable heroine. Today hiplessness has evaded our lit- erature. We read about the “straight boyishness, the free stride’ of the author’s pet. But though woman’s charm is potent enough. to instil in man ‘an acquired taste for whatever she chooses to wear, in his heart he prefers simplicity and naturaliness. A certain amount of imebcility in wom- an may be pleasing to the man of mediocre mind. Even Consul or any other intellectual chimpanzee cannot fail to feel a thrill of superiority when a woman in a hobble But even the man who deduces to the satisfaction of his own egotism that the wearer of a _ two- story hat has a one-story and basement —mostly basement—mind, does not care very long for the type. Even if he marries her, he seeks, after a little while, to induce her to modify the size of her hats, the eccentricity of her gowns. Freakishness is the short cut to suc- cess in everything, in art, in literature and im life and love. . But the success is as short-lived as the path which leads to it. Thedifepft the ‘“‘best seller’ is longer than the love of a Broadway beauty either felt or inspired. IMEN will never be beautiful till they forget about fashion,” said the Russian Countess de Svirsky. And nothing proves more quickly the hid- eousness of our changing modes than a glance. at one’s own photograph taken even five years back. In all the history of fashion there are just two costumes for women that have permanent charm—the simple drapery of the Greek maiden and the Empire gown, which was a revival of it. Since we make man’s taste, what ex- cuse have we for perverting it? The hobble and harem skirt, the two-story hat, the ankle watch and the late craze for earrings, what are these but evi- dences of a simian imitativeness? A nose ring has as much reason for being as an ear ring, and the anklets of the Moorish harem are not greater symbols of inferiority than a watch strapped around the leg. HE binding of tife Chinese foot, the swaddling of the Indian pappoose give no graver téstimony of a barbar- ous ignorance than the hipless corset and the Nazimova collar. in future ages men and women will gaze at these instruments of torture preserved in museums’ and wonder as to what horrible crimes they were de-| signed to punish. They will not understand that the women of the twentieth century failed so utterly to appreciate their own béauty that they sought to make them- selves attractive by distortion and dis- guise. Let us hope that no unkind histgrian will leave a record of our folly. We may squeeze our feet and tor- ture our hips, throw our bodies out of line with French heels, corset our necks, pierce our ears and walk like a kan- garoo or a disabled beetle. And why not? But we are the highest type of eman- cipated womanhood, Let us deny ourselves at least the cos- tume of the harem! mart Sets. a. difference between a .‘‘henpeck” and a masterful husband is that one gives in at once while the othér does it the next day.

The average woman who thinks she would be happy if she had a vote is the same one who used to think she would be happy if she had a husband.

The road to Dangozaka is bordered with gardens; and at the time of the chrysanthemum shows—a sort of national festival, for the chrys- anthemum is the Japanese national flow- er—the way is lined with stalls of all sorts and made gay with “many thou- sands of flags and lanterns. The village— or suburb—of Dangozaka seems a con- geries of chrysanthemum gardens and nothing else. Two sen—which is about a cent—is the price of admission to any garden, and in any and all of them are displayed strange triumphs of horticul- ture—rows of hundreds of chrysanthe- mum plants obeying orders in their growth like a regiment of soldiers on

Chrvsanthemums at Tokio their parade. You will see them in long ranks, each plant a facsimile of the next beside it, with exactly the same number of blooms on each.. And not merely that; the top bloom will be fully opened, and so make one of a perfectly level and equal line of fully opened booms; the next will be nearly opened, and again one of a similar row; the flowers of the third row are open to a less degree; anti so they decrease to the feet of the plants, where a row of close green buds extends. So that the whole long rank presents a constantly repeat- ed scale of all the beauties of the open- ing flower, from bud to fullest bloom. And the marvel does not stop even here; for not only the blossoms, but the leaves are matched in number and situation. In other places, instead of straight lines, the plants are disposed fan-fashion, or in the shape of an umbrella.—Strand.

Benny McGovern and Joe Burke, representing’ the Missouri Athletic Club of St. Louis, won their matches in the dual boxing tournssfent with the Young Men’s Gymnasium Club team, at New Orleans, Friday night. Peter Sturholt of the M. A. C. was disqualified for fouling, while Bobby Gresham and Charles Dalwitz were fairly defeated by their Mardi Gras rivals. Sturholdt had forght ene and one- half rounds with Dave Jfolinstone of New Orleans, when the referee stop- ped the fight alleging that Sterholdt fought as though he had no concep- tion of the amateur rules. He gave the verdict to Johnstone. A. Simon outpointed Gresham, while a fourth round was necessary for the judges to determine the winning of lance pitcher of the game.

Last year Powell was the best per- former in percentages the Brown pitch- ing staff owned. This year Powell will be better. It is not an assertion—it is a physical’ fact. Big Jack is not only close to normal weight, without any training, but he has never had a kink in his arm in his life.

Dvorak, Rachmaninoff, Moskow- Be “*ski,and Glazounow Compo- ____-* ‘sitions Presented. _ By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. USSIAN musical inspiration and achievement were very faithfully program of ‘will begin at 2:30 p. m. sharp. _ @he Slav composers of today are do- Le Yery notable ‘work indeed, and Mr. @eeh is keenly alive to'the significance of this truth. Choosing, therefore, cer- a finely distinctive Dvorak, “Rachman- y gave éspecial eimphisis to the fact.’ _@ consequence, he very skilifully his audiences ‘to ‘a fuller apprecia- of Russa infivence in a world until a. comparatively recent the voice of the Great White Drea’ ts ‘mute in’‘all but the un- folk-song heard, with racial tions, from. the throats of all the gestern ‘of earth. in -D Minor; No. 2, Op. 70,” in taught the lesson of the night. rypand native in its elemental d-even in- its utterance, mneyit- ably dependant through its creator must be upon the musical precedents -by.. compesers of certain nations ‘whose ‘melodic art ia of a fins symphony’s stately and sonorous @rst movement is instinct with the wide : and majestic sweep of inspirational vis- _ fon characteristic of these Slav tone- @reamers, suggesting, as does all their Geeper thought, the imagination-exciting, -@yen though spirit-depressing, physical @Bpect of their country. A sweeter note, ‘With a touch of wistful melancholy, is heard in the second movement, the Beco adagio and the Russian tendency toward soul-sadness is Mlustrated with additional intensity in the closing al- | ‘phase of the Dvorak score. Yet is ‘there sounded, inthe third move- ment, the scherzo vivace, that wild and ‘| mt gayety which is the Rus- stan’ 8S mood-reaction from racial melan- ‘@holy.. It is ‘this ‘™mood-change, too.

Many TWO MURDERERS ARE SENTENCED SAME DAY

Henry Whitehouse Convicted of | Kililng Brother-in-Law; Wife Slayer Confesses. MARION, Ill, Feb. 25.—The trial of Henry Whitehouse for the murder of his brother-in-law, William Gresham, Nov. 18, 1910, terminated with the con- viction of Whitehouse and the imposing of a sentence of 40 years in the peniten- tiary. Whitehouse was returned here from Oklahoma only a few days ago. Gres- ham was killed on a lonely road two miles from this place. The two men had gone buggy riding and Gresham was found alone in the buggy and dying. After sentence was passed on White- house, James Elmore, indicted for the murder of his wife on Sept. 26, 1910, was placed on trial. He pleaded guilty and sought clemency from the court. His punishment was fixed at life imprison- ment. Elmore confessed killing his wife by shooting her at their home.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The fistic event of Thursday, when Delegate Wickersham of Alaska and Repre- sentative Mondell of Wyoming made desperate attempts to get at each other, continues to be a live’ topic among members of the House. One suggestion is that a sporting editor is needed for the Congressional Rec- ord. Friends of Fred Irland, the senior offtcial reporter of debates in the House, who was called 6n Thursday to act as referee as to who first used the word “liar’’ and who used it. the loudest, suggested his name for “the new office. Objections were made to Irland, however, after there had been a careful reading of his report on the Wickersham-Mondell “go” in the Record. After telling the cross-fire of accusation between the belliger- ents, the Record shows the follow- ing: “Menacing actions took place be- tween Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Mon- deli.” Then the Speaker is quoted as call- ing for order, supplemented by the following: “The Sergeant-at-Arms, the mace, appeared.”’ It was argued by those opposed to [rland’s candidacy that he would have-to develop a “more sporting” style of writing. MORE LIGHTS IS THE EASTON AVENUE PLAN It Is Proposed to I!luminate Sec- tion Between Jefferson and Grand Avenues. The Easton Avenue Business Men’s Protective Association has appointed a committee to investigate the feasibility of lighting all of Easton avenue be- tween Jefferson ‘and Grand avenues. The section between Garrison and Comp- ton avenues already has been lighted. A meeting was held at Victoria Lodge Hall, Garrison and Easton avenues, Friday night, attended by 150 business men. It was estimated that the lights would each cost about $5 a month. Dele- gates William L. Igoe and Eugene Gregory attended the meeting and spoke favorably of the project. If the merchants succeed in illuminat-

bearing

effort will then be made to have it lighted between Grand and Taylor ave- nues, making it the longest specially illuminated street in St. Louis. Frank J. Hebers ‘is president of the associa- tion, W.

Emma Calve was too tired to talk when the steamer from Honolulu docked. She was more so after the health officiais had com- pelled her to be vaccinated, “T must rest for several hours,” she said. ‘I have been traveling for one year. It is very fatiguing.” Bowing his head, Signor Gasparri, her, youthful husband, joined her in her smiles. The Immigration Incopector was peculiarly rasping. The purser had re- fused to take the responsibility of set- ting down the diva’s age as “twenty,” although she made the suggestion in writing. He left the age space blank. The immigration inspector, with a care- ful glance at her, set down ‘‘4.’’ Calve was about to protest when he asked her name. She insisted it was Mme. Emma Calve. He insisted on making it Mrs. Casparri. Next came the customs officials. Then the quaran-
