Then there was a noise as if a table had heen knocked over. “Parrots don't break up the furniture,”’ said Zigler as he ran back into the bar- room to get a weapon. In his haste he took from a customer a beer bottle that was only half emptied and started up- stairs to investigate. Zigier met a man coming down with a towel case under his arm. The. man turned around and started down the back stairs, Zigler following closely. Instead of running straight back to the alley way, the man began jumping the fences between the houses. After half a dozen fernres had been gone over, Po- lice Sergeant Thomas Boston appeared and fired a shot at the hurdler. Zigler was the first to get close to the man, however, and when he did he hit him over the head with the beer bottle. That stopped the chase and Boston took the prisoner to the police station, where he was identified as Charles Burge. Cannot Remember It. Burge had nothing to say, but went to sleep almost immediately. Thursday he said: “It was’ awful

ANTHRACITE BOUGHT AT AN ACTUAL LOSS Freight Charges Enabled Railway to Get Money Back, Is Claim—Fight Is to Uphold Commodity Clause of Interstate Law. | eens jet By Assoctated Preas. ‘ WASHINGTON, July 6.—The Govern- ment will renew the fight to dissociate the great coal-carrying railroads from their virtua) control of mines and thus vitalize the commodities clause of the interstate law. A test case against the Lehigh Val- ley Railroad will be filed today in the United States Court in Philadelphia, it was announced at the Department of Justice. That the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., Coxe Brothers (Inc.), the New York & Midt difield Railroad and Coal Co, and the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Co. are not bona fide coal companies, but merely adjuncts to the Lehigh Valley Railroad and are “devices for evading the commodity clause” is the Govern- ment’s principal complaint. It is also alleged that the Lehigh Valley, with the object of removing competition, has caused the | Valley Coal Co. to contract at a loss for the output of other anthracite operators, has transported the coal over its own lines and through the coal company has fixed the price in Mew York and other markets. Profit Made on Freight The Government charges that alt.ough the. buying of coal from other operators has been done at a loss to the cual company it has enabled the Lehigh Valley Railroad to transport the coal! over its lines and profit from the freight charges. To support its claim that the coal com- pany is merely the “dummy,” the Gov- ernment cites that the officers of the railroad and the coal company are the same, and that certain members of the directorate and the Bxeecutive Commit* tee of the rallroad are members of the directorate and Executive Committee of the coal company. Among those named - are Eben B. Thomas, George F. Baker, KE. T. Stotesbury and James A. Middle- as i All Ald From Ratiroad. The Government's complaint also says that since the capital stock of the coal company has been owned by the railroad it has paid no dividends, that millions of dollars havembeen advanced by the rall- road to the coal company which have never been returned, and that the rall- road has paid the interest on the coal company’s bonds, being compensated, the Government claims, by th@earnings from the transportation of coal over its hnes. By proving that the Lehigh Valley Railroad is actually the legal owner of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.'s anthracite, or has a pecuniary Interest in it, the Government hopes to bring its cave into line with the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the commodity clause case, strike down dummy coal compae nies and force the coal-carrying roads from their control of mines. While tn effect the Government's ac- tion is a blow at the so-called Coal Trust, the case is separate from that suit, which is not on appeal to the Su- preme Court. In the Government's original conimodf- ties clause action against the anghracite roads, which was begun in 08 the courts held that a railroad company might own stock in a coal company and not violate the commodities clause if it did not ofn or have ped interest in the transportation ef the*®coal of that company. Interest in Coal a Potnat. With that decision the commodities clause was considered by many a dead but Attorney-General Wicker- sham carried the case to the Supretie Court, where it Government might amend ite complaint and involve the question of fact as to whether the ratiroad has any interest in the coal which {ft transported.

The memorable its wide ex- charged to or’ Juiy .2 te 5, torrid period will be in weather annals for tent. its long duration, its record- breaking temperatures in many places and the long list of fatali- ties which it has caused. News dispatches which the cities from the North Atlantic seaboard west to the plains states, have ex- changed in the last four days, ac- cording to a careful review, ac- count for the deaths of 431 persons from the heat.

Relief from the intense heat of the last five days came Thursday in ad- vance of the expected thunderstorm. At 9 a. m. the temperature was 83 de- grees, instead of the 9 recorded on Tuesday and Wednesday at that hour, and the records of the previous days, when the heat was reached, 98, 99 and 101 degrces in the afternoon, will not be approached, the forecaster believes, One death from the heat occurred Thursday, following seven deaths Wednesday. Frederick Koch of 1425 Bremen avenue was unable to sleep in his room and sat up all night, though he might have lain down in near-by Hyde Park. At 7 a. m. he went into a saloon at 1436 Penrose street and asked for a giass of soda. After drinking it he fell vaconscious, and he died on the wav to the city dispensary in an am- balance. Woman Dies in Chair. Dennis Ryan of 31 South Compton avenue found his sister, Miss Ella Ryan, dead in a chair in the basement at 8 p. m. Wednesday. She was 68 years old. Dr. Louis Temm of 2432 North Grand avenue had been treating her for an organic heart trouble, but she had complained so much of the heat that her brother attributes her death to that. Thomas Connelly died at the city hos- pital at 4 p. m. Wednesday from the heat. He was prostrated when cele- Lrating the Fourth, and was taken to the hespital, but efforts to save him were fruitless. He was an electrician, 42 years old, and lived at the St. Charles Hotel. Others who died from the heat Wednesday were Arthur Brill of 422 South Second street, George Harper of ‘ that time. Relief is promised by to- morrow with hope of thunder showers tonight. —-- +--+ ------- = 201 CHICAGOANS

DEFENDANTS STOKES TRIAL Gk

Young Women Accused _ of Shooting Hotel Men, Arrayed in Summer Finery.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 6.—There was a display of summer finery that made the crowd in Tombs Police Court today forget the heat when Miss Ethel Con- rad and Miss Lilian Graham appeared for examination on the charge of at- tempting to’ murder W. E. D. Stokes, the millionaire hotel man. In contrast to the gaily-garbed defendants, Stokes looked pale and worn. The girls were accompanied by Mrs. John Singleton, formerly of Los Angeles, Miss Graham’s sister. ' Stokes, as the first witness, narrated j the events of June 7, when he was shot. , He said Miss Conrad called him on the | Silicone and told him Miss Grantam {had gone to Europe and asked him to ‘call and get letters Miss Graham had left for him. Migs Conrad ‘smiled sweet- ly’’ when she received him at her apart- ment, and left him alone a moment, saying she would go for the letters. When she returned, said Stokes, she bolted the door behind her and ap- proached with her hands behind her back. “At the same time through the door into the hall,” he testified, “I saw Miss Graham creeping toward me with a re- volver leveled at me. Stopping in front of me, said: ‘Now I have got you.’ . Then,

she continued Stokes, Miss Graham told him he must pay her for ‘doing her great moral damage,’’ defaming her mother and her sister. They told him, he said, that unless he complied with their demands they would kill him and “would have no difficulty getting rid of his body.’’ Slays Wife, Shoots Her Husband and Wounds Himself Continued From Page One.

ia rust-stained Abbey” DAZZLE AUDIENGE By Associated Press. CORY, Mich., July 6—A romance of the days when much of Michigan was a wilderness came to light today when boys of the South Bend (Ind:) Y. M. Cc, A, summer camp, while digging a ,hole for a flag staff, brought up a i rusty iron box containing pistols, books and sev veral documents. The lock could not be opened, so the ‘bottom of the chest was broken. First the discoverers found two rusty pistols of an ancient pattern, resting in a bed of flax. Then followed a motley collec- tion, including a plain gold ring, appar- ently the wedding pledge of some pio- neer bride; a_ silver-cased watch of Swiss manufacture, a small dagger and hunting knife; leather- hound books dating from 1767 to 1819, among them @ Bible, ‘Children of the and “Book of Passion.’’ There were several school books and a number of pennies bearing dates from 1781 to 1854: samples of silver, lead and eopper ores, arrow heads and a coliec- on of pebbles. Deeds dating back as sy as 1739 related to property at Ply- Conn. Letter Gives His Name. A letter found in the chest read in mouth, part as follows; “This chest is the property of Hesikia Thomas, formerly of New England, later of the Michigan wilderness, a spir- itualist of God, believing my spirit still roams over these lakes in the full moon seasons, guarding all my valuable de- posited possessions, for they are many and varied. God gave me many won- derful-‘secrets, but because of the great sin, he took them all away but one—the them—the turning of sable gold. I have buried this the body of old Duckwing God rest my soul. with gold. but has He least of stones into secret by in the Big Swamp. God has filled the earth Devils do not believe it, not promised ‘seek and find’? The blue heron is Wise and the night owl, but !'man is an ass, for he walketh not in the ways of the Most High.” Remembered by Old Resident. A little of the story of the peculiar old hermit, Thomas, is known here. George Knevels, who lives in a portion of a house built by Thomas, says that as a boy, he recoliects finding carefully secreted collections of pebbles in the house. It is said that Thornas’ wife la- serted him and that his queérness be- came noticeable about the same time. He roamed the woods ‘‘eonversing’’ with trees and animals and believed he could transmute certain stones into gold. After selling his home here, Thomas moved to an island in the lake, to which, in one part of his letters, he re- fers as the ‘“‘Abode of the Seven Devils.”’ According to another letter found in the box, there is another chest buried on the island. A map gives directions for finding a third chest, the key to which is said to be hidden in a tree. The whole neighborhood is excited’ over a search, immediately begun, for the remaining chests. Says Island Is Accursed. Other parts of the letter in which Thomas revealed his secrets read: “The island is doomed forever, as it is the abiding place of the seven devils. Beware! Fish die; birds drop as they pass and man disappears in the cav- ernous depths of the cave.”’ Another excerpt of the letter possibly refers to his recreant spouse: “The luck stone saved her from the evil one. The knife is that which drunk his life’s blood and js cursed forever. The books were her possession from the older days before the great shadow fell. The man may claim his papers; Duckwing knows how I came by them. He died for lack of faith. The guns were his that were found on his body. He had obtained the ring, but the spirits bound him. “The gold pebbles were my own, prod- uct of my genius. Place them in the spring at midnight, as the blue heron passes the swamp—all believing, noth- ing doubting. I will aid you. The spirit bids me hasten. I must be gone. Fare- well.”’ Thomas’ body was found in the woods about fifty years ago. He had been frozen to death.

a ? EES DEFENSE OF STEEL TRUST IN | FEDERAL REPORT Chairman Stanley of House In- vestigating Committee Dis- covers Inaccuracies. VALUES MERELY ESTIMATES Amount Paid for Purchased Properties Much Greater Than P Their Actual Worth. By Wire a the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, July 6.—Chairman Stanley of the House Committee in- vesting the Steel Trust, said today of the report of Herbert Knox Smith, Com- missioner of Corporations on the United States Steel Corporation: “Upon careful analysis it is clear that the report of the commissioner is rather an apology for, rather than an exposure of, the United States Steel Corporation. ‘Tt is seen from the report that Smith’s estimates of the value of the plants and property acquired by the United States Steel Corporation in 1901, at the time of Its organization, are largely guesses, based on what he calls - estimated market value of the proper- ties, and this estimated market value of the properties, he says, is meas- ured in the main by the value of the preferred stock ‘of the corporation. -“The commissioner estimated the to- tal value of the manufacturmng plants of the constituent companies of the United Btates Steel Corporation at the time of their organization at $196,605,000. He says that from the time they were organized until they went into the United States Steel Corporation in April, 1901, they had added $54,000,000 to the valué of their plants. He also estimated that they should be allowed $91,500,000 for railroad properties, steamship prop- erties and dock properties. Holdings Counted Twice. “A careful examination of the facts will shew that the most of the prop- erty represented in this $91,500,000 could property be included in the $54,000,000 pre- Viously noted, and the same is true of the coal and coke property for which he allows $24,000,000, so that $250,000,000 or $260,000,000 may be safely considered a liberal estimate of the value of the _properties of the constituent proprer- ‘ties whic) went to the formation of the United, States Steel Corporation, and ‘for which and for promotion fees to the Morgan syndicate, $1,250,000, 060. “That ¢his estimate of $250,000,000 or $260,000,000 is approximately correct is clearly indicated by the sworn affidavit of the principal owners of the Carn company, including Mr. Carnegie, there were issued r, Schwab and others, that the total value of all the property of the Carnegie company in 1900 was $75,610,104.06. “The Steel Corporation paid the Car- negle company more than 40 per cent of the total stock and bonds which they issued at the time of the formation of the United States Steel Corporation as the purchase price of the said Carnegie property. It must be conceded that J. P. Morgan and his associates, in the so- called Morgan syndicate, which organ- ized the United States Steel Corpora- tion, were men of shrewd business abil- ity, and Mr. Carnegie and his asso- ciates were likewise men of the largest . experience and greatest knowledge of _ the value of steel and iron -property. Values Shaded. “Therefore, if in the organization of the United States Steel Corporation there was paid the Carnegie Steel Co. more than 40 per cent of their total stocks and bonds for property of the) ._Carnegie company, naturally they did not value the remaining properties pur- chased at more than 60 per cent of the total required. “If the Carnegie company was, as stated in the affidavits of Carnegie and his partners in "1900, worth only $75,610,- 4.06, then necessarily the properties of ‘® other concerns purchased compris- as they did, less than 60 per cent of total properties, were worth only $114,000,000, making a total real valua- tion of the whole property taken over by the United States Steel Corporatton at its formation of $190,000,000. “Tf, on the other hand the constituent ‘companies which afterwards formed the United States Steel Corporation paid $520,000;000 for less than $76, 000,000 of prop- erty, it is manifest that this enormous bonus was given not for anything of real or tangible value, but because of the dread of threatened competition at mands of the oe Steel Co.”

BIXBY DECLARES THAT MAGAZINES DESTROYED MAINE Chief of Engineers Says Primary Cause of Explosion Never Will Be Known.

By Wire From the Washington Bn- renu cf the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 6.—Gen. William H. Bixby, Chief of Engineers, who has just returned from Havana, ‘has given out an interview, in which he says that the blowing of the battleship Maine’s three: magazines cauged the destruction of the vessel. Gen. Bixby said that a portion of the deck over the magazines was blown upward and laid backward and. there were numerous conditions of the hulk which proved this. No explanation from the outside, said the General, could have caused the game result. Gen. Bixby does not be- lieve the bodies of those who lost their lives with be found on the Maine. He says they are probably buried 200 feet or more from the wreck in the mud. Much of Bow Wrecked. While inspecting the work, Gen. Bixby prodded around the bow of the vessel. He found by his soundings that at least two-thirds of the bow were absolutely wrecked. The sides had been practically blown away and were buried in the mud. This, he said, showed conclusively that the wreck of the Maine was caused by an explosion within the vessel. The General does not attempt to say whether a submarine mine or other outside agency could have set of the magazines. On the point he says: “What the primary cause of the ex- plosion was,” ’said Gen. Bixby, ‘‘never be learned. ” The. finding of the Naval Court of Injury which conducted an investigation lasting 23 days soon after the blowing ad: “Tn the opinion of the court the Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, which cause the par tial explosion of two or more of the forward magizines.” Admiral Melville’s Letter, In the June number of the American Review a letter from North Rear 3 GIRLS IN B ACT AS HOTEL WAITRESSES LUE

The Piasa Springs Hotel is conducted by the Ladies’ Civic Improvement, Asso- ciation of the resort, of which the moth- ers os the young women are leading mombers. The midday meal is the busiest one at the hotel, and there was a prospect of having to feed nearly one hundred guests Wednesday, when the sudden announcement came that the waitresses had quit wogk. They were tired of working while others took their ease, they said, and it was too hot, they be- lieved, for anyoye to work—for such heat as that of the last few days has been felt, even at cool Chautauqua. Nothing could induce them to stay through the dinner hour, and it looked as if the hotel would have to turn most of its guests away hungry, and give an imperfect service to the rest with the help of the young men employed about the place. While the women responsible for the hotel were debating how to meet the emergency, the three girls burst in on them and declared that they would Cory, sider it fun to serve the meal, They were told that their uniforms awaited them’ and lost no time in putting them on. , llitting about the tables, the three took the orders of the rapidly arriving diners, and with such care that not one man who asked for corn on the cob got reas instead, and that no cut of peach

‘On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking baby with us. After being in Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to a doctor who said it was chicken pox, and gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of a rash aud was al] over baby’s body, head and face, at different ‘ times.

The rash got no better, and it used to itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was completely covered with , it at different times.

Children’s entertainment at Self-Culture Hall, Nine- teenth and Carr, by Sarah, Bessie and Rose Feldman, Edith and Esther Harris = others During’ the life-imperiling heated term that marks the early days of July in St. Louis, the number of babies daily sup- plied with pure milk at the various sta- tions established by the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission has reached a total of 479. A total of 110 gallons of milk consti- tutes the daily distribution made by the commission, this being an increase of 21 gallons above the daily distribution for the corresponding period last year. This is the heaviest daily demand ever made upon the Pure Milk Commission’s resources, and is directly due to the deadly hot-weather that.scores its heav- lest rate of baby mortality in the city’s crowded tenement districts. It is against this death-toll of tene- ment babies, thus demanded by sum- mer’s relentless heat, that the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission is now fight- ing. It is a noble fight—a -:.ght for the lives of the 479 tenement babies whose helpless mothers flee for succor to the nearest Pure Milk station. There, alone, they can obtain for their babies the healthful nourishment im- perative for the holding of life in the frail baby-bodies elsewise marshaled in the grim Valley of the Shadow of Death for the summer’s “slaughter of the innocents.” Every morning, during the hours when the various Pure Milk stations are open for the daily clinics and the distribu- § tion of pure milk, this pitiful army of nearly 500 mothers assembles for the daily supply of pure milk that is to pave the lives. of their little. babies. ,| Heavy as. is the existing demand for pure milk, it will be even heavier as the summer, but barelf; heewun, drags its enfeebling days aléigfaxing human vitality more and mijre meéreiléssly with its sustained record of: heat-scorched days and hot. tossing aoa of fever- isi unrest. * The 8t. Louis ‘Pure: Mati Commission sturdily meets this: ‘wheavy demand, bravely fighting for the: Hives of the hun- dreds of little babies:@therwise doomed to death, and it will continue to meet It. So, too, will the Free Ice and Sick Diet Circle of King’s Daughters, direct- ing the daily distribution of free ice, continue to meet the increased demand always simultaneously felt in their field of splendidly helpful work. But these two hard-working organiza- tions must need look to the Post-Dis- patch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund for their financial support, and this fund, established and maintained through the generosity of the Post-Dispatch’s read- ers, must be increased to meet the in- creased demands made upon it. Will you help to this good end? Your help is sorely needed. It is needed by the 479 babies now daily being supplied with pure milk and free ice through the fund’s operation. It will continue. to, be. needed by these babies, and by many other babies whom the long summer now just begun will place in imminent peril of death. The time for you to help is right now. There will be many more baby livea tov be saved as the summer’s long-sus- tained heat taxes baby vitality more and more severely. Without your help, extended Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, babies will die. What is your answer to this appeal? Save the babies! A group of little girls calling them- selves “The Little Workers” gave a “big show and entertainment’’ at Self- Culture Hall, Nineteenth and Carr, and yesterday brought the proceeds to the Post-Dispatch, amounting to $17.90, Prominent among these “‘little work- ers’ for the Post-Dispatgh Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund were Sarah Feld- man, aged 16; Bessie Feldman, aged 12, and Rose Feldman, aged 4, all of 2812 Thomas street. Other children of the neighborhood who took part in the en- tertainment were Edith and Esther Har- ris and. Dora Lapin. The children appeared in two little plays, dialogues, recitations, singing and piano-playing, and little Rose Feldman greatly distinguished herself by her singing of “Put Your Arms Around Me,” “Rings on My Fingers,” “Pony Boy’ and “Put on Your Old Gray Bonnet.” Their entertainment was a fine success. And another group of helping children will give an entertainment for the bene- ft of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund at 5924 Etzel avenue this evening. They will present a little play, several dialogues, @ black-face comedy sketch and other interesting features. They have worked hard in preparation and they are hoping for a crowded agen to these helping children! And you grown, folks, too—don’t for- get the splendid slogan that inspires them.

Representative Norris charged that the “‘suppressed”’ facts relate to senti- ment favoring the candidacy of Senator from the Nebraska progressives secir-| ing their repudiation of Frank A.

After referring to a series of articles printed Mr. Norris’ letter concluded: ‘These various articles have earmarks that strongly indicate they originated in the White House. I do not think that the President himself dictated them, and I do not know that he had knowledge of them, but it is generally understood that the information came from his pri- vate secretary and almost without ex- ception these objectionable articles con- tain items of information that neces- must have come from someone sarily ‘ connected with the White closely House. “T am reluctantly led to-believe that

. THE BATTLE FOR THE BABIES. , The story of the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund in action was well told in Wednesday’s Post-Dis- patch. “The Pure Milk Commission, which does the detual work of supplying thousands of bottles of specially prepared milk, and the Free Ice and Sick Diet Circle of the King’s Daughters, which dis- tributes free ice.for the preservation of the ba- bies’ milk, suddenly found themselves under a strain which is testing all their resources. An increase of 16,000 bottles of pure milk in a period of 20 days was demanded, in order to save the Nives of the thousands of babies in the crowded districts, menaced by a temperature of 100 degrees or Over. “Out of the fund subscribed by Post-Dispatch readers or raised by entertainments given by old and young, the Post-Dispatch was able to re- spond to the imperative demand for cash by send- ing a check for $540 to the Pure Milk Commis- sion, to pay its increased milk bill; and a check for $443.42 to the King’s Daughters’ Free Ice and . ?’ Sick Diet Circle, to pay for ice and its distribu- ee ld. ton. This shows how the fight has become a life aud death struggle. Worried mothers are look- fmg anxiously to the thousands of Post-Dispatch readers for the necessary ammunition to win this » Battle. The issue will not be doubtful ff a gen- erous response is forthcoming. Already four new Pure Milk stations have been opened, and sthers can be added if the funds are increased. Whoever loves little children, whoever has public spirit, whoever wishes to be approved by his own censcience, should not wait to aid this noble work ¥ going to an entertainment, but should send in whatever he can spare at once, so that some help- less - eg. Sa may be saved. All contributions will be ackno ledged through the Post-Dispatch. o8 - Unless Mr. Morgan expresses a desire to lend toney to Morocco the chances are that Mr. Knox will not send a warship there. a — SS hi A ih _ -—

‘ee NEGLECT IN TREES. “One of the first advantages of the successful (crusade against smoke in St. Louis ought to’ be he opportunity to make the city richer in trees. While the smoke. evil remained forestry ‘so far fleclined in that section of the city where the oke was thickest that many streets, one Aime 1 and pretty, became bare and unlovely for t of trees. Gen. John W. Noble, who as tary of the Interior originated the movement has now become a great national love and ation of trees, ascertained by observation ing centrally west as far as Grand avenue would “the end have been virtually deforested by the noke. Pe: a This is probably the reason why St. Louls ts far behind most of the other big American cities inimized, we ought to move up abreast of the Hithes. Munj{cipal forestry here is but six years In this time the department has served very good purpose, but it has been little more an a beginning in the things of which it {Is papable. There is no municipal nursery other : than that exclusively maintained for the city parks. The department supervises the selection and planting of trees, but it neither provides nor Bells them and is prohibited by the charter from a! oresting a street by taxation against abutting property. This confines it to a sphere of service rholly inadequate to the community’s no-ds. it - ‘ould be shortsightedness to continue it. he municipal forestry of Brooklyn. That city has recently acquired a 536-acre tract which is to be made a woodland wilderness. Parks, says the klyn forester, are not to be filled with build- ings. They are for trees and the glory of natural oodlands. School children are invited to the city ‘nursery to learn about trees. Representative trees, ) the parks are labeled that everyone may know ‘em. Forestry clubs are encouraged and lecture:s 1 ct the people in the desirabilities : 14 possi- jlities of trees wherever there are any t. hear . There are in the municipal nursery there B0,000 seedling trees raised at a cost of 11-2 pents each, _ St. Louis could and should do all thesa things. fowhere ao trees grow easier or lovolier, and no- do they contribute more to ths comfort 1 well-being of a populous community.

Wearing regulation prison stripes and with hair close cropped, Charles P. Chase and Newton Bagg occupied a cage constructed-on a float in a Fourth of July parade in Springfield, Mass. Both men are prominent citizens and both have been indicted under the criminal] provisions of the anti-trust law for conspiracy to restrain trade in lumber. Of course they are both consciously convinced of their innocence of anything worse than sub- scribing to a common business custom and their burlesque effort was looked upon as a huge joke by a population charged with Yankee wit. Other- wise the performance may be taken as fairly in- terpreting the view Big Business takes of tue law of the land. The view is not unjustified. For more than twenty years the anti-trust law in its operation as a criminal statute has been not only ignored, but wittingly and willfully avoided by those charged with its enforcement. Even now when it has been finally and comprehensively in- terpreted as a force in civil law that must be applied, the trusts cannot believe it. They seem to regard the Supreme Court’s decisions as in- terpretative and academic. Thomas L. Hisgen, | in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, told how Standard Oil is still using the old and now forbidden methods to drive him out of the oil business in New England. Last week Attorney-General Wickersham, ap- pealed to by a Cleveland tobacconist, had official- ly to notify the Tobacco Trust that it could not extend its business as now established, pending reorganization, and that the opening of new re- tail stores in Cleveland would be a violation of the Supreme Court’s decree. in Springfield that Mr. Roosevelt “whitewashed” Poul Morton when advised by independent coun- sel that the only logical proceeding under th evidence was to prosecute him for the Atchi- son system’s discriminations; or that the Sugar Trust’s derelictions were winked at, or that the Steel Trust was “licensed” to complete its mo- nopoly in violation of the law, or that immunity baths have been plentiful and cheap. In such circumstances indicted lumber barons may be forgiven for expressing their contempt of a law that has met little but contempt. But they have given new emphasis to the necessity for showing that the law is entitled to respect. The appropriate answer to their caricature is the pros- ecution of every case pending and the institution of new ones as fast as evidence is secured. Big Business is particularly stupid on some points. It will never learn that “guilt is personal” until it is taught so by simple kindergarten methods. Several captains of industry in stripes will supply the one lesson needed.

Chairman Shannon of the Democratic State Committee says the “Democratic party in this State can not afford to and will not go back on a promise fairly made. The convention of 1910 in- structed for Folk by unanfmous vote.” It might have decided also that Doc Cook reached the pole, and that decision would be equally pertinent and fully as binding. SS = a A OCOUNCILMAN’S VALUE. What is a councilman worth to the city? Some- thing between $300, his annual salary, which is generally admitted to be too little, and $60,000, the amount which Mayor Kreismann thinks too much to spend in electing a new member to fill the Council vacancy caused by the Schutz resig- nation. That is only the Mayor’s unofficial opinion, for officially he does not yet know that there is a vacancy. President Gundlach, who put the vote by which Schutz’s resignation was accepted, hasn’t told him a Word about it. If Gundlach had told him so officially, the Mayor would have had to call a special election, and the city wo:1ld have had to spend $60,000, whether the new councilman was worth ft or not. Gundlach thinks

fhe will tell the Mayor about the vacancy in the fall, in time to have the election held wirh the November free bridge election. In the :meaz- time, if our 12 councilmen get themselvs deac- locked over something or other, we shall havs a chance to judge what a thirteenth man to break the tie would be worth to the city. >= =

rr In his Fourth of July oration Dr. Charles W. Eliot said that men “are not born equal in ca- pacities, powers or dispositions.” That’s just the point the Socialists are going to attend to as soon as they get around to it. = = — a JUSTIFIED BY RESULTS. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, former president of Har- vard, seems to think that any affirmations in the Declaration of Independence which were not of English origin should be regarded with suspicion. It is true that Thomas Jefferson put some of the ideas of the French philosopher, Rousseau, into the famous Declaration, but they were the very ideas that were necessary to inspire a revolution. Results justified Jefferson’s practical wisdom. We know from of old that revolutions are not made with rosewater. For the purpose for which it was written the Declaration of Independence was a political masterpiece, probably the greatest ever produced in the English tongue. ‘ It occurs to us that Dr. Eliot has not fully taken into consideration the conditions that prevailed in the American colonies in 1776. Jefferson’s im- mortal document was written for his contempo- raries and not for posterity, although posterity will never forget it. His contemporaries were engaged in war with the greatest military and naval power then on the earth and, moreover, that power was their own mother land, from which they derived all of their political ideas, their social customs and their religious creeds. Great statesman that he was, Thomas Jefferson saw the necessity of introducing new ideas, ideas that were not of English origin, into the minds of men who were at war with England. Thomas Jefferson knew as well as Dr. Biiot that all men are not created equal in every sense and have great diversities of capacity and char- acter. But the wise and far-seeing Virginian also knew the value of a ringing democratic affirm- ation in a conflict with an aristocratic enemy. England was a land of caste, with an arrogant no- bility which despised all colonists. Jefferson in his flowing style asserted the doctrine that Jack is as good as his master and has as many natural rights. |

output altogether last year having been sold for more than $6,000,000. The two largest of these manufacturing concerns are finding the demand for the steel cable from the South American and Central American countries so great, that in the effort to make this rich market more accessible, they have become large stockholders in the proposed line from New Orleans to Rio Janeiro, and are actively interested in the St. Louis-New Orleans river line now being established.

To the Editor of the ost-Dispatcb Davis, wants to make an everlasting good impres- sion on the patrons of Forest Park and especially of visitors to the Art Museum, who are often per- sons advanced in age, who do not relish walking from the Laclede Pavilion, or from Tamm on the south or Skinker road on the west, on a hot sum- mer’s day, he will provide for transportation, Last Sunday, resting on the steps, an old stout. couple, worn out and breathless, sat beside me. Complaining, “If the good Lord would only forgive them this time. no more of this for them.” [I'll second that motion, because it is e@ good mile from Laclede Pavilion ard that’s why the Art Museum is not better patron.zed. Now, think of getting back, oh! perish th thought, another mile, Now, what is w ited is some conveyance to get around that big area of a park. And what is the best? As an up-to-date citizen, I say an ele- vated road, touching the different places of in- terest—music stand, aviary, Art Museum and es- pecially the lake. The road should be built artistically, not too heavy, not high, just enough to be out of the way of automobiles, owned by the city, regular 5-cent fare, with trensfer. It would pay the city. JOHN M., GOMES, Interesting Population Figures. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The interesting articles in the last two issues of the Sunday Post-Dispatch regarding the strides made during the past decade, insofar as relates to population, are more gratifying to the Atlantio seaboard than any other section. A partial analy- sis shows conclusively that the Atlantic Coast grew almost three times as fast as the next best section. The following figures show total gain by sections and gain per square mile by sections based on statistics from the World Almanac. When we consider the poverty of resources of the At- lantic section as compared with the Middle West, the figures are the more astounding. They should be of especial interest to “the Mirror,” which thinks there are no transportation problems to be solved. Atlantic Coast states: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida; total in- crease, 6,296,844; increase per square mile, 15.16, Gulf Coast states: Alabama, Mississippi, Louifsi- ana, Texas: Total increase, 1,677,835; increase per square mile, 4.05. Pacific Coast states: California, Oregon, Wash- ington: Total increase, 1,775,612; imcrease per square mile, 5,49. Arid inland states: Arizona, Colorado, faaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada: Total increase, 970,040; increase per square mile, 1.13. Humid inland states: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla- homa, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin: Total increase, 5,266,726; in- crease per square mile, 5.53. Complete census returns may show a slight westward movement of the center of population, Washington, D. C. G. H, REID. ‘‘In the Name of Humanity.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the name of humanity, is there not some way in which to save Mrs. Angelina Naplenio of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, from hanging for ridding the world of that inhuman monster, her husband? Death in any form is better than a life of bondage. But why should we, the God-fearing people of this great country, stand idle while one poor woman, after suffering any number of deaths, in the end must die on the gallows to satisfy that flimsy thing called justice and for killing a brute that had no claim upon a woman as mother? Surely there is some real justice in this great land of ours and C. L. O. ts right—something shall be done for this poor unfortunate women, whose husband, instead of keeping his sacred promise to the Almighty God, to love, cherish and provide, has wrecked not only her life but those of five little souls.

A DAVE BALL STORY. From the Kansas City Star. In one of his speech-making tours Ball found on reaching a certain town that the local committee had arranged for several candidates to speak ahead of him. The committee had reserved Ball for the last, hoping that his repu- tation as a story teller, would hold, the crowd. At last Ball’s turn came and he got up wearily. “This reminds me of two old bachelor brothers up in Pike County,’’ he began. “They had read right smart about how big fortunes were made on the Board of Trade in Chicago, and at last they de- cided that one brother should take their savings, $6000 in all, and go to Chicago and invest it. He was to wire the brother on the farm each day. The first day a telegram came from the brother in Chicago, saying: “ Tnvested the $5000; made $10,000.’ “The brother on the farm wired back, ‘God is good.’ "The next day the brother in Chicago wired: ‘Invested the $15,000 lost it all.’ ** "Good God!’ wired back the brether on the farm, “When I was invifed to come here and speak I said: ‘God is good.’ I wanted to speak to you. But when I got here and found all these speakers ahead of me, I sald: ‘Good God.’” EE BOHEMIAN LOTTERY. From the New York Tribune. “What is right depends on where one lives,”’ writes an American from Prague, Bohemia. ‘This advertisement appeared in the papers of today: "Tomorrow evening the drawings for the twenty- cighth State lottery for the military éharity fund will take place. There will be 21,185 prises, amounting to 620,000 kro- nen. The chief prise will be 200,000 kro- nen, and there will be one prize each of 50,000 and 80,000. All prizes will be paid in cash. Chances at 4 kronen may still be obtained at all tobacco shops, ex- change offices, postoffices and customs offices.’ These places are all under Gov- ernment management, and it is clear that the lottery is a Government institu- tion.”

Mutual Instruction. From the Portiand Oregonian. _ While the United States is learning from Europe the practice of forestry Eu- rope is learning from America to create reserves in her mountain beauty spots. Several lofty wildernesses have thus been reserved by nature lovers in Ger- many to preserve the native flora and fauna, and one such tract has been re- served in Switzerland. Grand Old Easy Mark. From the Chicago News. How long will Illinois content !t- self with minority rule? Alas, neither the stars, nor yet the soothsayers, can say, The State is such a grand old easy mark that it may go on for some time in the olf way without making a motion for a change.

| JUST A MINUTE. Written for the Post-Dispatch by Olark McAdams. o There will be a poem about this length here as soon as the weather permits. . i tn tnt tt int ttt tnt tht te tt ee he ee —_—_—_o MIDSUMMER’S MEDITATION, Judging by the present trend of the weather, the capitol bond issue to be voted on in Missouri Aug. 1 would stand a much better chance of carrying if it proposed to build a kind of a State fan. We do not know if thisis practicable, but with the temperature where it is just now, we can’t help thinking it Is. We have a great deal of undeveloped water power in the Missouri River. Running normally as much as from eight to 13 miles an hour, it would re- quire very little damming and diking to give it something of the power of Niagara Falls. If this wouldn't run a fan big enough to cool off the State, we have our engineering and our hu- manitarianism all mixed up. Gov. Had- ley might do something about ft. He is still a young man with a possible career, and he isn’t going to get any- where trying to make out whether the people want prize fighting or not. The State fan would do infinitely more for him if he could get it going. Philadelphia is a lucky town. Just when she had otherwise been knocked into a cocked hat by the heat both her baseball teams turned up at the top.

GET OUT. “The Supreme Court decision in the Standard Oi! case is followed by chortles and chuckles of delight in the far East,” writes Frederic 8. Isham, the novelist, who is now in China. “Heretofore the ‘beneficent iniquity’ has been about the one source of pride to the traveling American's heart. In of] alone we have partly held our own against foreign competition and made a little showing in the fight for the trade of the world. While I was in Singapore an American who was stranded applied to the Amer- ican Consul. Nothing doing! No of- ficial way of sending home this chap wno had a splendid army record, by the way. So someone went to Standard Oil in his behalf. Could he have passage on an oil boat home? You bet he could, said the iniquitous agent of the ‘benefi- cent iniquity.’ And he got it. “The Standard had at its back a huge capital. It was about the only American enterprise that had any en- terprise,” Jas far as the East was con- cerned. It was the only American con- cern that could hold its own against for- eign competition !n the struggle for the world’s business. And now it is gone. That means a new epoch in Japanese oll. And,” adds Mr. Isham, “it means a new epoch for Burma and other oils. It means new oil wells in Java, where I saw a few. It means augmented profits to all the other peoples. Really, I feel quite sad to think of all the jolly good fellows scattered about the East, rep- resenting Standard Oil—about the only fellows who knew how to uphold Amer- ican business in competition with for- eign agents. The Germans and English laugh and sneer at most Americans in the Orient who try to pick up trade. They never laughed at Standard Oil. sot that it always crushed everything. The Burma oil has practically . kept Standard out of Burma, It’s a low grade oil and sells cheap. Among the ironic chortles from the throats of the elated foreigners this is hardest to bear: “Long live the United States Supreme Court! It certainly is good to us.’ ”’ We can't see it, Mr. Isham. What has the Supreme Court decision to do with the foreign business of Standard Oil? Not a thing on earth or the seas between. Even if the trust is dissolved, there will still be a Standard Ol] Co., the genius of Rockefeller will still control it, its off boats will sail the seas, and those jolly good fellows who are its agents wiill- still reign in the Orient. The Supreme Court decision will no more af- fect competition in the of! business In Japan and Burma than it will influence the birth rate in China. 4 Just think {ft all over again, please. The Cardinals are in the second di- vision—now. “What do you think of the commission form of government?” “O, it would be all right, I suppose, if we haq some commission form of selecting commissions.” ES

BEATRICE and BENEDICK in “Much Ado About Nothing’ EDRO, Prince of Aragon, return- | ing in triumph from war, stopped to visit Leonato, Governor. of Messina. Pedro had two young officers in his retinue, Claudio and Ben- edick, one of whom avanted to come to Messina, while the other did not. Claud- ic loved Hero, Leonato’s daughter, and was eager to see her again. Benedick hated Beatrice, Leonato’s niece, and had no wish for any future encounters with | her sharp wit. For. like many ‘funny men,” Benedick‘did not care for clever | women. Before Pedro had started for the war Beatrice had raised a laugh by an- nouncing that she would eat as many of the enemy as Benedick might slay. This unjust slur on his courage rankled in the officer’s mind almost as much as 4id a remark of hers that he was the Prince’s court fool or jester. So, on the return to Messina, Claudio and Hero had scarcely begun their de- mure lovemaking when Beatrice and Benedick were busily renewing old-time quarrels. Pedro watcbed with amuse- ment this war of wits. Half in jest he said to Leonato: : “She were an excellent wife for Bene- dick!"’ “If they were but a week married,’’ replied the Governor, “they would talk themselves mad!”’ But Pedro would not give up the !dea of making these sworn enemies fall in love with each other. And, having a keen knowledge of human nature, the T’rince hit upon a clever plan to turn their hatred into affection. He and Leonato and Claudio strolled, as if by chance, one day past an arbor where Benedick sat. They talked loudly to each other about Beatrice’s mad se- cret adoration of Benedick. The lat- ter listened amazed. Leonato gravely told the others that Beatrice was in the habit of sitting up all night writing. (and then shyly destroying) ardent love letters to Benedick. And Claudio added that Hero had told him of Beatrice’s constantly weeping and praying for her The three sadly prophesied that Bea- trice would surely die of a broken |‘ heart, because she was too proud to cor.fess her love for a man whom she thought scorned her. Benedick Ifstened {n open-mouthed wonder to these amazing lies. He mar- veled he had not sooner suspected that known how easily it is for a man to feel a new and glowing interest in any woman when he learns that she is pin- ing for love of him, and how strongly such supposed love can play upon mas- culine vanity. Nor had he judged Ben- edick’s nature wrongly. The youth came out of his hiding place, when the others had moved on, and exclaimed: “Loves me? Why, it must be requit- ed. I will be horribly in love with her!” When he met Beatrice a few minutes later, and she assailed him as usual with the barbed shafts of her satire, he fondly believed that every sharp word was merely a mask for great unspoken leve. Fedro had been right in count- ing on Vanity to blind Intelligence. same trick with Beatrice. Hero, with orfe of her gentlewomen, fell into earn- est talk one day within earshot of Beat- rice, and lamented Penedick’s unrequit- el love for the haughty girl. Hero said that Benedick was silently suffering anguish because he adored Beatrice and because she was so gold toward him. The tivo passed on, leaving Beatrice dumfounded. But the bait that had cap- tured Benedick was quite as potent in alluring her. She had looked upon him mere'y as a brilliant opponent in the oattiefield .of wit. Naw that she be- hevext oe was dying of love for her Bne at once saw him in a new and ro- seate light. She murmured to herself in ecstacy: “Benedick! Love on! I will requite thee, taming my proud heart to thy loving hand. If thou dost love, my kind- ness shall incite theé.”’ The next time the two met each was looking for signs of lcve in the other. Failing to observe@such signs they dis- covered, by means of a few questions, the double trick that had been played upon them. But the mischief had already been done. Through Pedro's scheme they had actually fallen in love--or fancied they had, which seemed to amount to much the same thing. Benedick surrendered, saving in mock despair: “I will have thee. But I take thee for pity.’’ To same vein: “I would not deny you: but I yield upon great perusasion.’’ “Peace!’”” commanded Benedick, kiss-

The 0’ FLYNN BY JUSTIN HUNTLY McCARTHY. Second in the Post-Dispatch series of sum- mer novels. “The Social Bucaneer” began the series which Justin H. McCarthy’s charmingly novel story of “The O'Flynn” continues. , This will be followed by “Th e Inner Shrine,” an an- onymous novel, dealing with the matrimonial problem, which has created a great furore on two continents. CHAPTER XXI. In the Presence Chamber.: EW buildings have undergone more changes under the control of cermorant devouring’ time than Dublin Castle. The trav- eler of today would seek in vain for any traces of the splendid Presence Chamber which the Duke of Tyrconnel had caused to be renovated and dec- Orated in honor of his royal master. Splendid tapestries adorned the wal!s whose original covering of pale oak panelling seemed to need no other adorn- ment than its own natural beauty. The baaners of great Lrish houses that loved their King hung from the gilded ard painted ‘eiliug, and stately pictures and gleaming armor added to the richness of the magnificent apartment. On the night that followed the capture of Knockmore the Presence Chamber was a blaze of color in readiness for the entertainment that James was giving fin honer of that event. But as’ yet the Presence Chamber was deserted, save for a few servants that were busy in making the final preparations for the evening's festivities. e that appeared to be the head man among there serv- ants, and who carcied a wane in his hand and wore a chain of eeity 4 about his neck, was a man of uncert&in age with a calm impassive face which seemed as if denied by nature the power of expressing any strength or other emotion. This man was now giving orders to the other servants in a quiet even yoice, and hia orders were obeyed with that alacrity of precisfon accord- ed to him that knows how to command whether he be no less than an Emper- or or no more than a majordomo. Presently the door at the farther end of the hall opened cautiously and the head of Master Burden showed through the opening. Master Burden and his fellowship of players, united now tem- rariiy at least. after the incursion of the majority of its members into the eld of war. had been bidden to the castie to divert the King. In the castle they had been entertained, and were now ing their way to the room In which they were to give their performance. Master Burden's white face with its mane of sable

locks -looked all round the splendid apartment with some de- gree of uncertainty. Then he. caught sight of the chief serving-man, who had dismissed his subordinates on the completion of their task, and entering the room he advanced majestically to- ward him. “I seek the Gold Room,” he said, with a dignified salute. The calm faced man pointed in the direction of the door opposite to that by which Master Burden had entered. *" he said, briefly, and Master immediately returning to the door by which he had come tn opened it and cried, “Come, friends.” Thereupon Mistress Oldmixon, Mistress ancy Free, and Masters Conamur, Tul- and Winshaw entered the Presence ber clad in their players’ costumes. ter Burden, about to lead his lit- company in the direction indicated the servi man, suddenly paused by something familiar “man's countenance, hand to his ‘forehead dra- cried: “Surely, I am not you are our old friend, the his

. » Fancy Master Conamur tickled his chin. ‘“‘We have been well feasted,’’ he said thoughtfully; “‘but a glass of wine is always’’— He paused for a minute, ev- idently in the hope of saying something effective, but the desired inspiration failing him, he concluded lamely enough, “‘a glass of wine.’”’ While he had been speaking the rest of the players had gathered round the ta- ble and accepted gratefully enough the administrations of Hendrigg, who filled glass after glass for their satisfaction. Mistress Oldmixon lifting a well-filled goblet, protested, ‘I could not drink another sip,’’ and drained the vessel to the last drop. Fancy, with -characteristic frankness, declared, “I. could,’’ and was as good as her word. Tulpin, with a morose countenance, sipped furtively at his glass of wine and made a wry face as he sipped. “A poor wine,”’ he ejaculated, ‘‘a thin wine,”’ but nobody heeded him, for Master Win- shaw was harranguing the company with his richest voice and heaviest man- ner. “Oft have I worn crown upon the hoar’s,”’ he was saving, “‘yet never knew till row how well a King might be provided with drink and victual.” Hendrigg surveved the players placid- ly. “‘You play before His Majesty?” he asked. Master Burden nodded. “Yes, a trtfle of Monsieur Moliere’s, which our friend the O'Flynn, has found time to make Enelish, Tulpin laughed a mocking laugh. glish! Ha! Fat” and fully upon his heel. Mistress Oldmixon protested: he has a neat wit. lines, vastly.”’ Tulpin looked “You are easily. said. Winshaw declared, “He has an ear, he has an eye, he has-a heart.” “You are easily pleased,’ Tulpin com- mented, Conamur put tn his word, ‘‘He appre- ciliates me." Tulpin grinned. ‘‘He is easily pleased,” he said, maliciously. Master Conamur resented this, and a quarrel mieht haye ensued if at that moment Sir Georke Mayhew had not entered the Presence Chamber through the door that conducted ‘to the rova} apartments. As he entered Hendrieg gave him a respectful salutation and quitted the room, Sir Georre addressed the players “My good friend", His Majesty will ri from table in a few minutes. Let r bring maenificent you to the Gold Room.” Master Burden made a gesture, and enveloped himself in his mantle after the manner of an ancient Roman. “Conduct us, Sir George,” he cried: “T shell be glad to run through the words agatin.”’ Tulpin put his hand to his forehead with an expression of despair. “yore study,”’ he murmured. Sir George, with a grand air of ga)- lantry, advanced to offer his arm to Pretty. Mistress Fancy, who was quite prepared to take it. but her intentions were quickly frustrated by Mistress Oldmixon, who glided swanlike hetween the man and woman And linked herself to Sir George's extended arm. “You are most polite, Sir George,” sim Sir George, making the mischance, courteously hi, ora sa the Gola Room ea y Bu ‘inahew. oo rden and Fan was about to with th the rest Gonamur caught her by the wrist 4 her. “A word with you, ’ at him with a Ittle “En- turned disdain- “Come, I fancy some of my unon her scornfully. pleased, madam,” he she es Next the conspirators repeated the which Beatrice answered itn the:

The show will be under the auspices of the Ed- wardsville A. C., of which Simon Keller- man of Edwardsville, Ill., is match- maker. Woodson is a hard-hitting ag- gressive jfighter who has boxed at Memphis and other cities. At the Col- iseum he met Peter Sturholsz of the M. A.

Gray is the same style fighter as Woodson and there should be some smashing wallop- ings, when they clash, as they both like to exchange punches. Morris West will meet Al Crown in one preliminary and Tommy Brindle and Kid Fagan, both of Edwardsville, Tll., will clash in the other. Both bouts |- are scheduled to go six rounds, H. 8.

As the posse of deputies entered the ‘betting ring Tue&day one. of them “left his rifle in charge of one of the others while he visited one of the bookies and placed a bet on the second race. No questions were asked of him as he placed his bet, but as he was securing the change from the bill he had given “the bookmaker the other deputies ran into the betting ring and arrested four bookmakers who were doing a flourish- ing business.

Hugo Lippert’s Missouri III, which won the 32-foot Missouri Valley speed boat championship Tuesday, met with an accident in the championship class for boats under 40 feet in length Wednesday, and was forced to quit the race. The Disturber II, owned by James A. Pugh of Chicago, won, covering the 20 miles in 37m. 3024s. Lippert won the $2-foot championship in; a trifle over 4im. His boat was leading by two and one- half miles at the finish and was| not pushed. Lippert would have had a fine chance to place his boat in the first three in the 40-foot class, although his flyer is only 26 feet in length. The course calls for eight turns, which is the cause of the comparatively slow speed. The boats figuring on straight away speed could probably make 35 or 38 miles. Lippert and his boat fs not expected to return to St. Louls until Saturday.

TO SETTLE AUTO TIE The tie of five perfect score cards in the Automobile Reliabihty Run of July 4 is to be decided by the three mem- bers of the Contest Committee, the referee, Harry F. Van Cleave, and a fifth party to be selected. It is prob- able that lots will be drawn for the cup though the five cars may go over the course in St. Loufs County again. The greatest intergst shown was in the performance of the seven-motor trucks which contésted for honors against each other. The truck event was divided into two classes, for cars with capacity of over 3000 pounds and for cars of less than 3000 pounds carry- ing capacity. In the light-car division the Atter- bury, driven by J, C. Somers, the Fed- eral, driven by R. Btelzis and the Utility driven by T. H. Goddard, scored with perfect records. in the heavy division, the three-ton Atterbury truck was first with 993 points. In the light-car division other scores wWére made as follows: Waverly electri{, driven by W. Koch, 993; Lambert, @iven by T. Piene, 98.

Ty Cobb and Larry Lajoie have picked the pitchers who, in their opin- ion, are the best in the American League. Lajoie picks these pitchers as the best 12 in the American League: Ed Walsh, Walter Johnson, Russell Ford, Jack Coombs, Chief Bender, Eddie Plank, Joe Wood, Barney Pelty, Gedrge Mullin, Bill Donovan, Ray Fisher and Frank Lange. } Ty-.Cobb hames us the best 12 pitch- ers:» Russell Ford, Joe Wood, Walter Johnson, Cy Young; Ed Walsh, Eddie Karger, Bob Groom, Dolly Gray, Vean Gregg, Harry Krause, Ray Fisher c.nd Jimmy Scott. Lajoie and Cobb were each given a ‘day to ruminate over the pitchers and name the best ones as they appear to them—the greatest two. batters in the American League. The pitchers were chosen as they look to Lajoie and Cobb, neither of whom presumed to say which pitchers are the leaders, but the pitehers they named can be put down as the real premiers. There are no two,critics so well fitted by experience and judgmént as Larry and Ty. Cobb is the’ greatest batter to rely on outthinking the pitchers. “Now, don’t misunderstand me ag to these pitchers,’’ Cobb cautioned: ‘¥ don’t mean that I can’t’ hit them. I can, or are better thinkers than the others.”’ Cobb did not include any Tiger pitch- ps7 ers in his selection because he does not bat against them, and for the same rea- son Lajoie named no Nap, pitchers. Each club has_ two. 0»pitchers’§= in the lists. the Naps, and Mullin and Donovan the Tigers. Five pitchers are named by both Larry and Cobb—Ford, Johnson, Walsh, Wood and Fisher. Veteran pitchers have the call with both Larry and Cobb. Larry names only two youngsters, Fisher and Lange, Cobb names only Gregg and Fisher. Fisher, the young Yankee star, is honored above the other youngsters by being named by both Ty and Larry.

PARIS, July @—Frank Jay Gould heads the list of winning American race horse owners taking part in the sport in France during the present season, having taken $45,961 prize money, lead- ing W. K. Vanderbilt, with his 12 years’ experience’ on the French turf, who ranks second among the American owners, with $87,860 to his credit. Col..] Hunstiker fellows with $12,888; W. H. Pfizer is next with $12,888, and Mr. Leigh with $11,210.. Sothe other American own- ers have won less than $2000 each. Gould’s’ record seems phenomenal, as he has been racing for only a year and a half. His horse Combourg has won! for him nearly $40,000, and in value to- day represents more than Gould paid for the 17 2-year-olds, including Com- bourg, which he bought from Viel Pi- card, who at the time thought he had handed Gould a gold brick. The contract under which Gould bought the 2-year-olds had incorporated in it an option on all Picard’s 1-year, olds, but when Picard saw Gould’s suc- cess he disregarded the option and sold all the yearlings to his brother, thus depriving Gould of the advantage of a successful strain for next year, but “THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1911.

According to the Tiger scribes, Pres- fident Comiskey has been dissatisfied with Duffy’s management of the squad, and the loss of the late Cleveland series capped the climax. According to “these Wwiseacres Capt. Harry Lord its being tried out as manager in the Detroit seri-s and if he makes good will se- cure th. position permanently. When asked about these reports to- day Mr. Comiskey — them most emphatically. “There is absolutely no truth to those cock and bull stories,’’ he declared. “Manager Duffy has returned .to Chi- cago and will resume charge of the team. Duffy was in Sioux City, Io., ooking over a couple of pitchers in the Sioux City-Des Moines games. We had heard of these twirlers and Duffy wished to look them over himself tp decide whether they were worth: being given a trial.’ a. _

Gould has other plans and will make a strong endeavor to maintain the lead he has gained in French racing. _—_ eatin 4: onl ait = t+ mn “ —_——

STOCKS REFLECT IMPROVED TONE TN WALL STREET Partial Breaking of Wester Drouth Revives Bullish Expectations. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 6.—Reports of crop prospects were again the governing fea- ture in the stock market. Prices rose rapidly during the morning in response to advices from the West that condi- tions had been tmproved by rains and that the hot wave had been broken in erop regions. London bought stocks in the market for the first time this week and the reversal of, position was inter- preted as an indication that the tension caused by the Moroccan situation was growing. The volume of trading was not large enough to suggest that prices were being forced up by organized bullish effort, as the market grew dull after the first upturn. Shorts grew more alarmed as the crop. bulletins came in, and their buying was instrumental in sending up prices of the chief grain carriers ma- terially. Union Pacific was the principal fea- ture, its rise at midday amounting to nearly 3 points. United States Steel rose 14%, the demand being stimulated by re- ports of further improvement in the steel and iron trade and an advance in iron. Bonds were irm. Sentiment appeared decidedly better at the opening of the stock market today. Reading led the upturn, opening at an advance of % of a point and climbing rapidly to 158%, a net gain of $1.25 a share over Wednesday’s closing quota- tion. Union Pacific rose % of a point on light transactions, followed by similar gains !n Steel common, Canadian and the Hill issues, Great Northern § and Northern Pacific. The buying movement was largely assisted by covering of short contracts The demand for stocks became more urgent on the announcement of bene- ficial rains in Kansas and Nebraska and a break in the corn and wheat options of from 1 to 8 points. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Great Northern pre- ferred sold 2 ints above yesterday’s closing. General Electric 2% and the list generally from 1 to 1%. * Wal: street was pleased with the news from Brussels that an understanding be- tween International Steel interests is a near probability. Cable dispatches say that a committee will be appointed te consider the world-wide steel organi- zation plans. The European powers are expected to settle Morocco’s status, thereby removing the danger of foreign financial complications. New York Stocks Close. Reported daiiv for the Post-Dispatch by G. H.

Greased, | common red varieties (green and red mixed) | =e ed scorued | nominal, Lishes news gathered by the Associated DROUTH OVER PART OF WEST Good News Reflected in Sharp Break in Grain Prices— Corn Lower. |

Reports of good showers over Kans8sas, Nebraska and Iowa put a new aspect on the gain outlook Thursday morning, and prices for all cereals opened at a sharp decline. News from all quarters was less bullish, and sentiment seemed more inclined to the bear side. There were signs, both here and at Chicago of overbuying.on the rise of the preceeding day, and a lot of long wheat and corn was dumped back on the mar- ket. Commission houses were heavy sellers and the trailers were disposed to follow. Failure of the European market to re- spond adequately to the bulge in this country on Wednesday was a disappoint- ing thing to the bulls. Liverpool opened Steady on wheat, and only %d higher on corn, and markets of Continental Eu- rope were about on a parity with the English center. While not sufficient to fully break the drouth, afforded immense relief, both morally and actually. The official fore- cast indicated more moisture where needed and cooler weather was reported in the Northwest. In the local pit wheat opened at a de- cline of from %c to 1%e, and initial sales of corn were off 15¢c from the final fig- ures of Wednesday. Oats were. also easier, and the cash market was lower in sympathy with speculative values. Receipts of wheat locally were enor- mous, more than five times greater than those of the corresponding day a year ago, and the primary showing was also massive. Northwestern carlots were 393, against 28 last year and 93 two years ago. ' Minneapolis stocks showed a fair de- crease for the week, but this was offset in a measure by the heavy Northwest- ern arrivals and the slow demand for flour. Absolutely no improvement is shown in the export situation, even at the recent break. Broomhall’s Liverpool cable stated that the tone of that market was irregular, with trading moderately active only. The strength in this country on Wednes- day was offset by more favorable ad- vices from Russia, where rains have re- lieved the drouth in many districts, and the outlook is more favorable. Argen- tine offerings were reported liberal. In its weekly crop outlook the Cin- clunati Price Current was bearish. The winter wheat harvest is practically over, and the results are variable. Quality is universally satisfying. Spring wheat is generally not hurt by the lack of mois- ture. The condition of corn is excellent, but moisture is needed. Receipts of wheat at St. Louis were 223,317 bu, of which 2452 sacks and 191 cars were local and 7 cars through, against 34,594 bu a year ago. Shipments of wheat from St. Louis were fair. Local arrivals of corn were 64,800 bu, against 38,000 bu a year ago. Primary receipts were 783,064 bu, against 244,914 bu a year ago. Primary shipments of wheat were 939,720 bu, against 370,907 bu a year ago. Primary receipts of corn were 701,953 bu, against 619,947 bu a year ago. Primary shipments of corn were 453,859 bu, against 455,714 Du a year ago. Primary receipts of. oats were 447,510 bu, against 539,122 bu a year ago. Primary shipments of oats were 400,680 bu, against 312,160 bu a year ago. Some rather pessimistic reports were received from points in the Northwest, mainly North Dakota, but these were patently colored and _ failed to have much @ffect on the market in view of the official weather reports of lower temperatures and indications of rains. The foreign crop summary for the wek is as follows: United Kingdom—Crops show fur- ther improvement as a result of re- cent rains. Franoe—Crop prospects are being maintained. There is a heavy supply of foreign wheat on hand. Russia—Southwest the weather is rainy and crops favorable. Southeast there have been beneficial rains, but the weather is very hot and crops are in a critical condition. Much damage is confirmed in the Volga district. Roumania—Harvesting of wheat is becoming general. Too hot for corn. Bulgaria, Turkey—Crop outlook fa- vorable. Italy—Reports contradictory, but on the whole indications are for a short crop. Spain—Outlook favorable. The high- er duty on wheat proopsed by the Government has been put in force, India—Rain is needed, the monsoon having broken. North Africa—Indications are for moderate crop. Hungary—Official estimate, wheat 162,400,000 bu, against 200,000,000 bu last year, : Minneapolis wires: “Our reports from main line of the Soo, between Valley City and Minot, are discour- aging. Several stations say crop will be no better than last year. Red River Valley and northastern part of North Dakota seem all right. Elsewhere the area of damage seems to be gradu- ally spreading. Wheat is just enter- ing the most critical period as it is beginning to head out.” Cash wheat—Market firmer. Ele- vators raised basis of purchase of No. 2 red to July price and \%c over that option. Millers are taking little, prac- tically al) the soft winter going to ele- vators. Hard winter is scarce. No, 2 red wheat, 864@86%c; No. 3 red, S@85c; No. 4 red, 78@8lc; No. 2 hard, 88@95c; No. 3 hard, 86@8ic n.; No. 4 hard, T6@s0c. Cash corn—Firm in spite of the break in futures.

ONCE PROTEGE OF MRS, ROCKEFELLER “NOW IS PENNILESS Divorced Wife of Frank Pen- field, Oit Millionaire, Forced to Give Up Home. BORROWS FROM FRIENDS Settlement Husband Made 15 Years Ago Spent, She Seeks Cleveland Trust Fund. NEW YORK, July 6—From the af- fluence of $2,000 a year, Mrs. Marie Suela Pearson Penfield, divorced wife of Frank P. Penfield, a Cleveland oll millionaire, once widely known as ‘“‘the only man who bested Rockefeller,” has been for the last two years fighting poverty in the handsome residence at 123; East Eighty-ninth street, where she had lived for 13 years, ever since the separation from her husband. She abandoned her residence last Sun- day. So great was her financial stress that she had to leave a month’s rent unpaid, and friends further declare that she had to borrow money with which to take herself, her daughter and her moth- er back to Cleveland, where she once reigned as a society leader and lived as the next door neighbor of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. To Fight for Trust Funds. The declaration is made by a few to whom Mrs. Penfield gave her confi- dence, that she has gone to Cleveland to begin a legal battle to get funds put in trust for herself and her daugh- ter and which are now said to be with- held. She has suffered poverty, these friends say, while there are many thou- sands of dollars strangely kept back from her. However this may be, the change that came over the maner of living of Mrs. Penfield and her famtiy-in the handsome residence was complete. The carriage with the liveried coachman and foot- man passed from the door never to re- turn; the brilliant dinners and lunch- eons were discontinued, so were the regular Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmast feasts that she used to give in her own home to the children of the tenements, and the elegance of her gowns held their fine lines but became old-fashioned and from that passed to shabbiness. Marie Suela Pearson was only about 15 years old when she married Penfield; he was 40 and a millionaire. He later became ten times a millionaire. Unde- niably she had a place of first rank in Washington society; her father was a distinguished surgeon and the family was related by blood ties to William McKinley. She Got 850,000 Settlement. The separation of the oil millionaire and his much younger wife dates back to 15 years. He made her a cash set- tlement of $50,000 and agreed to pay her $400 a month, besides making a liberal allowance for the education’of the chil- dren. -Mrs. Penfield, who had been welcomed with open arms by Cleveland society, and, in fact, became the pro- tege of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, de- spite the commercial tilts of Penfield and the ofl magnate, decided, to move East. She went to live at Tarrytown, where the children went to school. When they had finished their preparatory training sbe took the house in this city and lived there save for months passed at fashionable summer resorts or in Eu- The son died after being graduated from Yale. It appears that after a year of living under the separation agreement Pen- field repented of his bargain. He went into court, declaring that his wife’s ex- travagance was intolerable. He said that despite liberal provisions She had debt and required $20,000 to live on. He asked that if the court would not set aside the articles of separation that such action should be taken which shou!d pre- vent her mortgaging real estate fur- ther, but compel her to hold it intact for their children. Confessed Bankruptcy. In June, 1901, Mrs. Penfield appeared in bankruptcy proceedings, in which she confessed to $9000 in debt. She smil- ingly testified to having spent $45,000 In two years. ‘This money my husband gave me,” she sald, ‘I spent on living expenses— the maintenance of a proper household, paying servants, having new gowns and living as becomes a woman of my po- sition. My household expenses amounted to $25,000 a year before I separated from my husband and there is no reason why I should curtail them.” Then poverty came and sat dewn be- side her.
