MRS, UDELL’ DEATH SUICIDE POULOS IS FREE Greek Repeats Story at Corp- ner’s Inquest, Varying Lit- tle in Details, and Verdict Is Woman Leaped From Vendome Hotel Window.

HUSBAND THREATENS PERSONAL REVENGE

Absent at.Burial of His Wife, Max Judell Says He Will Return to St. Louis and De- mand Accounting From Man. »

A Coroner's jury Saturday afternoon returned a verdict that Mrs. Max Ju- dell of 305 Union boulevard committed suicide by jumping from a third-story window of the Vendome Hotel, and that Peter K. Poulos, a Buckingham Hotel -her companion, was in no way responsible for her. death. Poulos testified that he met Mrs. Ju- dell for the first: time Monday night, and told of going to the hotel after midnight with. her. A noise awakened him, he said, and he saw Mrs. Judell plunge from the window. Can’t Interfere With Hotel. After the verdict Poulos was taken waiter, to the Four Courts, whefe Assistant Circuit Attorney he bereleased, as no criminal charge could be made against him. When freed, Poulos. hurried to his boarding place at 734A Aubert avenue. Poulas surrendered to the police afternoon and told a story substanti ily. the same as the one he told at the inquest. —22 Chiet Young. Saturday after- told a Post- Dispatch reporter that a as no authority to order that hotels of the Vendomeé’s character be closed.

j According to a Missouri Supreme Court decision; any licensed hotel ‘keeper is required to take a guest's word that the women accompanying him is his wife, if the guest makés that entry on the register. This decision was given in a case appealed by the Vendome Hotel after one of its employes had been fined $500 about @ year ago. Police Chief Displeased. Chief Young is displeased because the management of the Vehdome did not ef- fectively assist the police in solving the mystery of Mrs. Judell’s death. Chief Young has power to make raids. He can also follow the tactics employed a year anda half ago, when a unil- formed policeman was stationed at the outer door of every questionable hotel. This kept many persons from entering such places. Max Judell,, husband of Mrs. Judell, Was not at the inquest, having gone to Charleston, W. Va., with his wife’s body. Before departing from St. Louis, he said he would return and person- ally revenge himself on the man who accompanied his wife to the hotel. At the close of his direct atory, Poulos was questioned by Deputy Coroner Carriere. “Did you see the rope fire escape?,” Dr. Carriére asked. “No, sir,’’ said Poulos, “I had aot noticed it, and had not been in that part of the room.’’ “Did wou quarrel with the woman?” “Not at all. We had no argument of any kind.” “Did you see any bruises on her bony?” : “No, sir.” . “How were your personal effects, had they been tampered with?’ “My watch that I had left on the dresser was gone, but my money, $13, was all right.” The jury went out at noon, Poulos haying been the only witness. Poulos’ testimony at the inquest did not materially differ from the statement he made when he surren- dered Friday afternoon, the principal change being that he took responsi- bility for making all of the advances and: suggesting to Mrs, Judell tnat they. get a drink and go — together. “ He testified as follows: A wént to the Delmar Airdome with Gecrge Karavas Monday night. “As we went in we saw Max Pappas, —— waiter at the Buckingham. He mo- tioned to us and we went and sat with him. He had seen part of the show and left before we did. After the show, about 11 o’¢lock, we went to the drug store at King’s highway and Delmar and got ice cream soda. Then Karavas went home. A was leaving the drug store when a ‘wert-Lbound car stopped and a woman got off. I ‘had never seen her before, but she smiled at: me and I tipped my hat.

NEW YORK, bs. Aug. 5.—Former President Roosevelt appeared today as a voluntary witness before the Stanley Congressional In- vestigating Committee and read a defense of his part in sanction- ing the absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron — by the Steel Trust in the panie of 1907. Immediately after, he had finished his formal statement he was subjected to a severe cross- examination, in which Chairman. Stanley led, touching every angle of the Steel Trust deal. He in-’ sisted in ali of his answers that at the time of his action and since that time, the publie good. he was convinced that his course was the best one for He denied all knowledge of stock-jgbbing in the. deal or that he had intimation that teh ‘trust’s power .over the product materially would be increased. His critics have charged that by saying that he “felt it no public duty to interpose”’ ah objection,” he per- mitted the Trust to take over its iast .formidable rival and obtain a monopoly on ore. Col, Roosevelt, at the oiitset and at’ frequent intervals in his testi- mony emphasized the fact that panic conditions existed and that it was necessary for him to take immediate and decisive action to avert a wide- spread financial disaster, He as- serted that he considered it the ut- most duty of the administration, at such times, to throw itself into the breach and restore public confidence. Tells of White House Conference. He said that after the famous con- ference with Judge Gary and Frick in the White House, he was convinced that it was necessary for him to decide im- mediately and pave the way for the deal before the Stock Exchange opened, otherwise it might have proved useless. That it did not prove useless, he said, was shown by the fact that the ‘panic was stopped. The former President said that he was told that when this transaction was rut through, the power of the Steel Corporation would be behind the com- panies on the financial firing line and that it would be able tp protect them. He had been informed that there were two trust companies in danger, but did not remember that the mentioned. The witness concluded his testi- money at 12:30 o’cloek, received the thanks of the committee and = €x- pressed his satisfaction that as "a plain American citizen” he had been able to assist the committee.

Roosevelt took the stand at ence. “There haye been certain matters con- cerning which there has been much discussion,” Chairman Stanley a- nounced, “and the committee desired Mr. Roosevelt's information relatigg thereto. Mr. Roosevelt did. not come in response to a subpena. He was advised of our desire to hear from him with reference to the absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron - Co. He kindly advined me that he would gladly come and we thank him for his ap- nee.” “After you had courteousty said 1 should come at 1 o'clock, Mr. Chair- man, I wrote out the statement I should ,lke to make,” said the former President after Stanley had asked him to explain what knowledge he had of the Tennes- see Coal and Iron absorption by the jnited States Corporation. “IT would like to read the statement I have prepared.” aldermanic The former ceedingly good

The — — firm that was in trouble, Roosevelt said, had not been mentioned. Roosevelt went on to read hie state- ment, going into details about the serious financial conditions in New .

' The superintendent of @ large — downtown department store told a Post-Dispatch reporter that @ woman answering Mrs. Judell’s description went to the store at 3:30 p. m. Mon- day and bought a corset, stockings, a shirtwaist, underwear, neckwear anid other articles closely corresponding to the memorandum made later by Mrs, Jgdell at Nagel’s cafe. In every department where she made a purchase she quarreled with the clerks and they believed that she was intoxicated or under the in- fluence of a drug. After making the purchases she de- cided that she would put the garments on before leaving the store. She ex- plained to a clerk that she had “a swell date’ at a downtown restaurant at 6 p. m. and wanted to look her best. Before going to the dressing room she took off her jacket. The clerk noticed that a man’s watch was pinned inside the jacket in the same place where Poulos’ watch was found after Mrs, Ju- dell fell from the hotel window. She departed from the store at 4:30 p, m. wearing the newly purchased garments, Attorney John D.

ILLEGAL ARREST IS Eastern Police Say He Resembles Man Who Rented Room Op- posite Victim’s Home. SAYS Pelligrino Scaglia of 1906 Cooper ave- nue, arrested on a New York charge of complicity in the murder of Bartholdi Cardinali, applied to the Cireuft Court Friday for a writ of habeas corpus. . He alleged that. he is being illegally restrained of his liberty by Chief of Detectives Allender. He asserts that he was not in New York at the time Car- dinali was killed. The suit was filed by Attorney Joseph Wheless. Seagiia was arrested on description soon after his arrival in St. Louis He is said to bear_a strik- ing resemblance to a man who rented a room in a flat across the. street from Cardinali’s residence. Cardinali was shot as he was preparing to £0 to bed Sunday night. The shot was fired from a musket in the hands of some one in a room across the street. Scaglia, to the St. Louis police, deniea all knowledge of the crime. The New York police are trying tv eonnect him with the gang known as the Black Hand Musketeers, @ name derived from the weapons used in killing victims. Three Killed in Two Years. An uncle and brother of the mur- dered man have been murdered in the isame way within the last two years. /Scaglia was the victim of an attack last March in the “Dago Hill’ neigh- borhood. He was stabbed- 42 times by two men and was near“death for several weeks. A well-dressed stranger, believed by the police to have been Cardinali, was seen in tre vicinity several days before the as- sault. Scaglia is 26 years old and Cardinali was 33. Two Shotguns Found. The brother and -uncle of the mur- dered man were killed in Brooklyn with musket slugs. Like Cardinall, both were in the windows of their homes when they were shot. Patrolman Grogan met the train on which Seaglia arrived from New York, followed him, and arrested him when he entered a saloon in the neighbor- heod of his home. Two double-barreled shotguns and a quantity of slugs to fit them were found by the New York police in the room opposite the Cardinali home, MOURNERS CROWD BIG CHURCH AT HUSSEY FUNERAL: Political and Personal Friends of the One-Time Delegate Honor His Memory. St. KMavier’s (College) Church, one of the largest in St. Louls, was crowded to the doors Saturday morning for the funeral of Frank Hussey, former mem- ber of the House of Delegates and foe of the police. Men predominated, and they were from all walks of life. Some were politicians who had been associat- ed with Hussey. Many were men who felt grief over his death because they nad often been beneficiaries of the loy- alty which was his chief merit. The crowd at the house, 3616 Lawton avenue, was not so large. Few poli- ticians went there. When the funeral cortege reached the church it was found filled with mourners and friends. Requiem high mass was sung with the Rev. Father Bronsgeest officiating. There .were a great many floral pieces. One of the largest and most beauti- ful conveyed ‘‘sympathy from Engine House No. 10." Another beautiful plece was in&Scribed “To Frank, From the Boys.” Several of the pieces were said to have been sent by policenien.

By Assoctated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Fears that he might meet with foul play as a result of his exposure in the Senator Lorimer case, according to testimony given today by Charles A. White, confessed bribe-taker, caused him to write a “farewell” letter to his pa- rents in which he said he had told the truth in: his story. White claimed this letter was stolen from his satch- el-in a Chicago hotel. | “You wanted your parents to know | that what you have sworn to here as plain lies were the truth?” Attor- ney Hanecy asked, “Yes.” White said a copy of a letter’ he wrote to Senator Frazier of Tennes- see also was stolen. To his story of how he claims he was bribed to vote for Lorimer, White ad- | ded for the benefit of the Senate Lori- mer Committee that he believed every one of the 58 Democrats who voted for Lorimer did so for a money considera- tion. He added that he thought some of the Republicans who voted for Lori- mer got money for so doing. White deciined to mention the names of any Republicans he suspected “‘be- cause it is just a matter of opinion and I do not want to do an injustice to anyone.” He said he based his opin- ion about wholesale corruption on the. fact that he was bribed and that others had confessed the same. White was cross-examined by Attor- ney Hanecy, who represents Lorimer. The cross-examination will be completed early today, when former State Repre- sentative Beckemeyer will be placed on the stand. White stated that the record of the first inquiry was wrong in quoting him as saying he “would have sold” his story to Senator Lorimer, if the Senator had given him $75,000 for his ‘‘confes- sion” manuscript in response to White’s letter. ‘It should read ‘might have sold,’ ”’ said White. He added that he might have }turned his manuscript over to tortehen for $75,000 because that amount would have been all the evidence nec- essary for him to prove his exposure which he said he was planning to do for the good of the public.

NACO, Ariz., Aug. 5.—Col. W, C. Greene, copper magnate and cattle king of Cananea, Mexico, died today of acute pneumonia. His wife and children were’ at his bedside. Greene was hurt in a runaway a few days ago at Cananea. Several of his ribs were broken. It is believed pneumonia resulted from his injuries. Col. Greene rose from a cow-puncher to a multimillionaire and copper king, | who lost everything, and in later years recouped to some extent his losses. His ups and downs have attracted the at- tention of two countries. Col. Greene led an active fife, years | of which were spent in the open, all lated a fortune of something like $23,-; 000,000, he lived in New York. He stopped at the most fashionable hotel, ate rich foods and drank champagne. He lost his fortune and went back te the bottom. Col. Greene was the discoverer of the king of copper mines, the Cananea. He found backing in New York, and in —* the Greene Consolidated Copper Co. was born. In four years it became one of the greatest copper producers of the world, and was valued in the open mar- ket as high as $35,000,000. When Greene | became over-extended in other Mexi- can ventures, the Cole-Ryan organiza- tion wrested its control from Greene, 1906 copper. hoom., Greene also fioated the Greene Gold- Silver Co., which was capitalized at- $25,000,000; the . Greene Consolidated Gold Co., with @ capitalization of $5,- 000,000; the Sierra Madre Land and Lam- ber Co., with a capitalization of $18,000,- 900, and the Guayrapita Copper Co., capitalized at $5,000,000. Drifis Dowrg to Mexico, Greene was born Tn New York 8t-te, in Chippawagua, Aug. 26, 1851. At the age of 16 he left school, went to New York City, and entered a wholesale ted house, where he remained three years, | Hé next assisted in surveying the route of the Northern Pacific Railroad. In 1870 he located and surveyed the land on which Fargo, N. D., now stands. He next engaged in the cattle and then the mining business, finally drifting down to Sonora, Mex, Col. Greene was a gun fighter of the old school. He was young in ghe days when the man who could ride hardest, go iongest without water and sboot cuickest was the man who “got the goods” in the great Southvest.

A thorough investigation of 182 stores in ‘the @ongested districts of New ‘York, where milk was (sold to customers bringing their own vessels, re- i vealed the fact that “loose” or unbottled milk is extremely dangerous, because of the careless way in which it.is handled. The milk was largely pought for feeding infaats, and samples of it showed fifty to ninety-five times more disease- bearing bacteria than the maximum of safety al- lowed by law. The count if one sample ran as high as 90,000,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. In the poorer districts of St. Louis, where the Pure Milk Commission is doing its best to provide safe and wholesome milk for the babies, there are a large number of grocery stores handling milk and selling to customers in small quantities, _ wnbottled. The milk is dipped from the can and poured’ into the bottle brought by the customer. If this is done in a carcless manner, as is often the case, the fluid runs down the outside of the bottle into the can, cafrying with it countless bac- | teria to infect the supply for other customers. Going on in this way all day, it is no wonder _ that the eae where it is the sole diet of infants. age which would result in the —

THE HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION. A continuous public hearing before @ special committee is one route toward a solution of the | City Hospital problem provided it is not a general talkfest.

But let us first have, in addition to authentic information about abuses, defects and delinquencies within, information |a about the politics, jealousies and parsimony with- out the institution. Let us first learn why the Kiel faction favors one remedy and the Krelis- interest at all. Let us learn why, if higher pay to employes means more and better food for patients, lower pay means less and worse food. may build the new structure on a secure founda- tion and defy graft, politics, jealousies and bick- erings. The committee has a great chance for noble accomplishment. — The bill to repeal the vicilous-and untimely ffanchise granted to the Southern Traction Co. of Illinois, for the use of the Free Bridge, should

be passed. Even more clearly than when ex- Boss Howe foréed it through, do its grab fea- tures appear now. It is a handicap to the free- ness of the bridge. It gives one company an advantage over all others. It forbids the mak- ing of just rules for the use of the bridge. It Violates modern franchise ideas. Its repea] will reopen the way to making the Free Bridge free. THE SHOE MERGER. The capital stock of the combined Roberts, Johnson & Rand and Peters Shoe companies will be $20,000,000. The actual assets, exclusive of good will, are officially $6,873,127 for the former and “almost equally large” for the latter, doubt- less $11,000,000 or $12,000,000 altogether. The other $8,000,000 of capitalization will represent “good will,” or the ability to earn dividends on it, or water or anything else the combiners are pleased to term it. The $5,000,000 capital stock of the Roberts, Johnson & Rand company~is worth $14,000,000 rin the speculative market. The investing public is willing to pay that much for the $5,000,000 in Shares because the concern can pay acceztable dividends on the higher amount. The power to earn dividends is the supreme test of stock values in the speculative market. Of the $9,000,000 dif- ference between actual investment and specula- tive value, the Roberts, Johnson & Rand concern, as a corporation, has received none and never will. The $9,000,000 represents the private profits of the stockholders. The figures are not given for the Peters com- pany, but its capital stock of $2,000,000 is said to be worth “two or three times par.” Its case dif- fers only in amounts from that of the other con- cerh. Its’ $2,000,000 has grown to $4,000,000 or more in the speculative market and in ordinary earning capacity and the corporation received none of it. Thus we see that without considering the mere profits from making shoes and the accumulating of a mass of physical assets, such as stock, ma- chinery, buildings and equipment, $7,000,000 of capitalization has grown incidentally to a value of, say, $18,000,000, and this is to be made arbi- trarily $20,000,000, all of which, except the origi- nal $5,000,000 gnd $2,000,000, is private profit. ‘The formal statement issued after the joint meet- ing of the boards of directors of the two corpora- tions, says: sag re of more than 75 per cent of the total stock in both companies have signed the articles of agreement and are enthusi- astic over the prospects of the new corpora- tion. None of the new stock will be offered to the public for subscription. The enthusiasm is natural. Anyone who could add $5,000,000 and $2,000,000 together to make $20,000,000 is privileged to be enthusiastic. But, of course, this i¢ not the chief reason for the combination. The official announcement says: The chief reason for this censolidation is the advantage to be gained by having a large Mumber of highly organized and well- equipped factories under one management, To this the other is merely an enthusiasm-cre- ating incident. Nevertheless, we congratulate the promoters on their modesty. Had {t been Mr. Perkins he would have added 5 to 2 to make 50 or 70 and forced the public to invest in the dif- ference.

The victory of Kreismann over Kiel {is momen- tous. The patronage, says the new chairman, will be evenly distributed. His ambition is to organize a harmonious Republican machine. An eveh distribution of patronage and a harmonious machine was also the Kiel ambition.

Of course there will be opposition to the ratifi- cation of the arbitration treaties in the Senate. ‘Chairman Cullom, of the Committee on Foreign Relations, says that some has already developed enlightened members of that body to insure some echoing of Roosevelt's jingo cry. Not yet has the whole world come to the understanding and appre- ciation that. honor is not barbaric and can be guarded and cherished without recourse to blows.

Referring to article in the papers of the “Beat- tie Murder Case,"’ Beulah Binford, as an example: Many mothers that no doubt are reading and in- terested in the case have reasons (if they stop to think) to watch their own daughters. Think of this poor, unfortunate girl’s own quotation: “My mother let me go out at nights and stay as long as I wanted to, and no questions asked.” There are many girls allowed the same freedom, and what is the result? Who ts to blame? Of course, there are exceptions. Young people have too much freedom; restriction is lacking with boys and girls; the lure of the cheap dance halls, the gardens, etc.—not saying that young people should be denied amusement; they need it, natur+ ally; but, properly, they ought to be accompanied by an older person or thoroughly advised.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am personally acquainted with severe! news- boys in this city, who are trying to earn en hon- est living selling newspapers. Some of them have widowed mothers whom they are trying to support. Yet I have seen two conductors in the last few days shove newsboys from the street cars while the car was going at ful] speed, never allowing them to get off themselves or caring whether they were killed or crippled by the fall to the harg street. . Conductors, were you ever boys yourselves? And didn’t you like to have some money to spend, like other boys, or perhaps to buy the bare neces- sities of life, to make your homes more cheerful? Did you ever stop to think you were depriving a poor boy of these privileges when you pubh him off of your car, at the same time endangering his life? Do you think it a brave act to push a poor, helpless boy off your car? Do you suppose — passengers approve of your conduct? AN UNFORTUNATE NEWSBOY, Clarence Avenue Complains.

PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL NOVEL- TIES, From the New York World. Representative Victor Berger, the Milwaukes Sdécfalist; estimates that his old-age psnaſõn bill would require an ex- penditure of $347,000,000. “This: “sum,” he remarked, “may be staggering to some good | ‘folk who believe in’ cheap government. end tn everybody taking care of fi i? How ifk@ the language of Attorney- General “Wickersham in his Duluth speech! ~ After outlining his astonishing pro- posal of Government control of mo- nopoly, even to the fixing of the prices of products, Mr. Wickersham said/that “conservative minds naturally shrink from accepting a conclusion which would devolve upon the National Gov- ernment the comprehensive powers and Guties invelved in extending the prin- ciples of the Interstate-Commerce law over commercial and industrial corpo- rations.” Mr. Berger is in good company. His Dill is a timely contribution to the pro- gressive experiments proposed by busi- ness magnates and old-party leaders. Surely Mr. Wickersham is not stag- gered by the Berger plan to take care of the “veterans of industry” by pen- sioning al} poor persons over 60. If the Government is to supervise monopoly and fix -the prices of commodities it must regulate the conditions and wages of laber. Judge Gary, father of the scheme of and his indorser, Mr. Carnegfe, cannot ob- ject to the Berger measure. Having their stock water furned into gold by Government alchemy and being relieved of all responsibility for the profitable operation of monopoly, they will not protest against placing the aged tou- ers under the Government’s paternal care. Certainly Mr. Roosevelt will approve the bill. It is. the bloom of his New Nationalism. Mr. Bryan ought to wel- come the plan as the fruitage of his Federal license system and bank-guar- antee fantasy. - Mr. Berger’s bill is close kin to’ the most cherished policy of Republican- ism. The party’s platform of 1908 prom- ised protective tariffs which would as- sure “a reasonable profit to the manu- facturer.” If we levy taxes to assure fortunes for the employers, shall we not levy taxes Alo insure incomes to their employes? The remedy for centralization is more centralization. Let us nationalize char- ity. Let us centralize big and little business, corporate and personal in- terests, wealth and pauperism. Let the Goveragoent take caré of everybody. Some good folk still believe in inde- pendence, personal liberty, .individual thrift and industry. But they are old- fashiened.

At last she summoned strength enough to lift her head and speak. But it was not ‘Keiki whom she addressed.

On the third day I was roused before dawn and led to a bathroom. My wounds were now almost healed and my full strength had come back to me. But when I stepped from the cage my arms were gripped by two samurais in such a manner that a slight twist would have dislocated the shoulder joints. I was led out to a court crowded with warriors in full armor and forced into a kago over which nets were wound. Dawn had not yet come, but torches flung a weird and lurid light over the outlandish fig- ures of the armored samurais. Another kago was borne forward past mine. Within the nets that enmeshed it I saw. the bowed form of a woman. She raised her head and I perceived the pal- lid face of Kohana. She greeted me. with a smile that wrenched my heart. “Buddha bless you!”’ I called. “Be strong. There is one who awaits us be- yond!” Dawn was at hand as we started along the causeway of the outer moat towards Owari Yashiki. Far away, . over the western suburbs of the city, I caught the glorious Vision of Fuji-yama, ee ing high in the blue-black sky, like a symbol of hope in the night of my de- spair. My spirit revived with -unreason- ing elation. On to the Tokaido and down along the bay shore through Shinagawa marched the grimly grotesque warriors of antique Nippon. We approached Omori.

P IsNw’rT IT AWFUL, BARNEY? ROBABLY Barney Dreyfuss is wishing, this morning, that he had part of that $22,500 back in his fam- ily stocking. One glance at the perform- ance of Marty O’Toole. against Min- neapolis, Friday, should be enough te drive him to the nearest font de jole, there to partake of the cup that blurs but not erases trouble. Marty got his’n, plentifully. In the five innings he was permitted to linger in the shafts for St. Paul, he wag hit safely seven times and the bombard- ment was waxing, He was amputated from the disturbance right there, ‘ . & * * JINX ON HIGH-fFRICED MEN. F course there ig a temptation C to believe that Marty will not now waste his sweet arm on the desert of the American Association. He is--this is the congpling side of it-- probably laying up his muscles for work against the big leaguers. At the same time the fly in the ointment is the fact that hig poor showing MAY be because he can’t do any better. Other prize beauties have gone a similar route, as witness the case of Richard de Marquis, alias Marquard, who was purchased three years ago from Indianapolis for $11,000, Immed- lately thereafter Marquard lost ten successive games to association clubs. Of course the cry was: “He's saving his arm for the big leaugue,” °* 2° @ rr’s COMING TO HIM. UT Richard kept on saving it for B: nearly two years—he couldn’t pitch ‘If fe wanted to. It’s only after all these years that he ia finally re- turning something en the investment. O’Toole is only worth $22,500 to Dreyfuss for what he can deliver RIGHT NOW. If Dreyfuss really paid that sum and doesn’t get first-class service out: of the St, Paul man this year, he might as well write down ‘“buncoed”’ after this asset's entry in the ledger. And between us, if he paid the money for the gentleman, he deserves. to be bunked. e. @= 6 A PORM REVERSAL. THER clubs have their slumps as well as the Cardinals. That one now being enjoyed (7) by the De- troit Tigers must be discouraging te Hugh Jennings. Boston, which lost. @ series to the lowly Browns, has won four straight games from the Tigers—a feat that would have been considered impos- sible a short time ago. Like the Cardi- nals, the Detroit bunch has been draw- ing too heavily on its reserve strength too early in the race. Just now it appears that nothing can halt the Philadelphians in their climb toward the flag. And once they win the American League pennaat, it will be a hard matter to pick a National League team to take their measure in the world’s championship. Not a club in the older organization can muster either the pitching strength or the artillery at present. at the dis- posal of the Athletics. Rae ger AFTER THE RECORD, HE Browns are now in a fair way T to outdo the record made by the Cardinals against Pittsburg. The League Park men once dropped every game but one of the seagon’s schedule to the Pirates. Saturday morning the Browns had not won a solitary battle from the Athletics and were steadily losing all chance to win one. So far they have been beaten 14 times by the Mackmen. If the Wal- lacians trounce the Philadelphians at al) it will be through courtesy, Or some- body will have to blunder very badly. * 2s ® MAGEE TO BE REINSTATED. O one will murmur now if the Na- N tional] League president modifies the punishment meted out to Ma- gee. The player has a family dependent on his efforts and it is a serious handi- cap to him to be deprived of his livell- hood. His banishment, too, makes an innocent sufferer of the club of which he was a member; and Dooin is too dd- serving @ manager to be made a scape- scat for the sins “ot his men. He needs Magee to help out his pennant chance, Magee is probably a much chastened individual and will be minus the grouch that has made him a bad companion to his fellow fielders, rumor says. . * J LUCKY TO SCORE AT Alde T took the Browne four games to 2§ i bi 5 3

The wheat: market had a shakeout Saturday, an overextended short in- terest giving the bears an oppor- tunity for a quick raid. Prices recov- ered some of their early losses, but closed sharply lower for the day, Corn and oats also reflected some selling pressure, mostly of a realiz- ing character over —22* Traders were not aggressive on either side of the market. The day’s news was unimporta The Liverpool exchange was clos but a foreign cable reported the out- look in India as improved by general rains and holders offering their grain more freely on expectations of an early breaking of the monsoon, Russian advices, however, were again unfavorable, and the crop re- ported much below the-,average in the southern section. In the east, it is said, rains came too late to be ef much benefit to the crop. The Argentine advices favored the sellers, saying the outlook is favor- able and offers free. Australia re efit to winter wheat, Budapest l%c up, Winnipeg %c lower and Budapest e lower. Crop reports from the corn belt were more favorable, and additional rain fell in Kansas and Nebraska. The Northwest was cool, but traders less in- ofned to follow “black rust” reports. Expert John In Girkn had not run over all the fields, as re- ported, but was only bad in spots and that with present apparent rust, crop would make a fair yield. Local wheat receipts today were 76,- 457 bu. or 3181 sacks, 57 cars local, 6 through; last year 22%,060 bu, or @ sacks, 158 cars local, 18 through. Corn receipts today 82,800 bu, or 51 cars local, 18 through: last year 68,400 bu, or 43 cars local, 14 through. Oats receipts to- day 81,600 ‘pu, or 89 cars local, 9 through; Nast year 187,000 bu, or 106 cars local 5 through. Chicago wheat Oy today were 839,800 bu, against 395, bu last year. Shipments 800 bu, against 48, bu last year. Kansas City receipts 154,800 bu, against 300,000 bu last year. Shipments 37,200 bu. against oy bu last year. Total olan ke, wheat receipts today were l, 764 bu, against 1,684,101 bu last year. Shipments 325¢bu, against 597,- 100 bu last year. Winnipeg wired: “Have had a good many wires from. different points. They say no black rust, but weather unfavorable and harvest will be later than oupantes. We want warm weather. Believe these rust reports exaggerated and the only danger is on account of ita being backward.’ Northwestern Mill said in its summary: “Black rust stories are plentiful, but the trade is rather in- clined to the belief that wheat in most sections is too far advance’ to be greatly harmed. Well posted men say that allowing for shrinkage of one-third for rust and drouth dam- age, North Dakota would still have 76,000,000 to 80,000,000 bu wheat, Min- nesota will probably have as much, and with 10,000,000 to 16,000,000 bu from South Dakota the Northwest should have a crop of from 160,000.- 000 to 175,000,000 bu wheat. Wheat cutting is well advanced in Minnesota and was started at a number of places in North. Dakota this week. In the Red River Valley it Is said the wheat is passing into the hard dovgh stage and will be ready: to eut in about another week. Yields will prob- ably be from 8 to 14 bu per acre, according to elevator men now iin territory.” Export clearances of wheat 344,000; flour. 10,000; corn 000; oats 1000, Wheat and flour 389, 000, Cash wheat closed “@le lower with futures.
