As soon as the officers of the Minch realized what had happened the en- gines were reversed and after pro- ceeding about 2000 feet the vessel was brought*to a stop and backed up to the scen= of the accident. Ten life*preservers were thrown out an+l the crew was summoned to rescue. Within a few minutes the yaw! was lowered and four sailors and second mate Daniel’ Keefe began a search for the members of the Nemo’s party. Mayer was tak en aboard, but no trace was found fof the others. ——— POSTMORTEM 10 SOLVE CAUSE OF Aunt of Boy Employes Physi- cians When County Officials Refuse. Mrs. Mary Heinze, dissatisfied with the St. Louis County Coroner’s verdict of suicide in the case of Samuel White- side Jr., who was found dead last Sat- urday in«the residence of C. H. Brooks, Spring aventie and St. Charles Rock Road, employed physicians Saturday to make a private post-mortem ex- amination of the body. Whiteside, who was 17 years old, was a nephew of Mrs. Heinze. She declared that it was her belief that the boy had _.been killed. Mrs. Heinze called on Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Settle at Clay- ton Saturday and tried to have the inquest reopened. Settle said the facts show that the boy had killed himself by taking carbolic acid and that there was nothing further for the county authorities to do. Mrs. Heinze was accompanied by Mrs. Mary Whiteside, grandmother, of the boy. The funeral had been delayed until Saturday afternoon to await arrival of the boy’s father from Mexico. Mrs. Heinze said a-further delay would be necessary. examination. Feeling Is Intense, Mrs. Henzie said Saturday morn- ing that there was intense feeling on the subject in the nelfghborhood of Spring avenue and the St. Charles Rock road, and that the Rev. Mr. Waldbrink, who was to conduct the funeral services, had said to her: “If there is any demonstration at the grave, keep calm and leave it to me.” Mrs. Henzie also said that a watch, diamond stud and $26 in the posses- sion of Whiteside had disappeared. ‘“T was not allowed to see my nephew,” says Mrs. Henzie, “when I went to the home of C. H. Brooks, where he is supposed to have taken ecarbolic acid. I*was told that if I tried to come in. the house my face would be mashed with a frying pan. “They say he took carbolic acia at 6:20 Friday evening and lived until 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, which is not at all probable.” Mrs. Susie Chivington, another aunt of the dead boy, says that she was with him Friday night, and that early Sat- urday morning the boy rallied, and looked as if he was about to speak. Before he did so, a woman who was present said: “Keep your mouth shut, Sammy! You'll get us all in trou- ble.”’ - Mrs. Henzie said she had often warned her nephew not to frequent the society of a woman in the neighborhood, or he would surely get into trouble with the woman's husband. According to Mrs. Henzie, the verdict of the Cordner’s jury that the death of the boy was due to carbolic acid, was made without the use of a stomach pump to decide what he had swallowed, the usual procedure in such cases. Treasury Surplus WASHINGTON, Sept, 2.—Although two mionths ago the treasury began the fiscal year 1912--with a surplus of all accounts of more than $33,000,000, the heavy expenditures and low. re- celpts of July and August have re- duced it to $2,000,000, and today reg- istered an ordinary deficit of more than $21,000,000, as compared with this time a year ago. WHITESIDE DEATH IB FAMILIES IN. PANIC IN ANIELIA Dwellers in Fashionable District _ Driven to Street in Sleep- ing Garments. The plan of switching off all @fectric lights after midnight in the Amelia Apartments, 5475 Vernon avenue, is blamed for the panic and for most of the damage resulting from a fire which broke out in the building at 2 a. m. Sat- urday, Members of the 18 families residing in the apartments groped their way la- boriously to safety through dark halls and stairways. Many of them were un- able to find their clothing and had to flee in sleeping garments. The work of the fire department also was hampered by the darkness and the men had to resort to lanterns for guid- ance in fighting the blaze. Caused by Defective Insulation. The order prohibiting the use of ele:- tricity in th building after midnight was given to the janitor several days ago by the owner, August Boss of 5115 Cabanne avenue. The fire Saturday morning was caused by defective insulation of electric wires in the kitchen of a suite occupied 5y (A. E.

She called Hoffman, who {turned in a fire alarm by telephone and lthen rushed threugh the halls to arouse | ) the other occupants. The sounding of the alarm created consternation among the occupants of the building. Mrs. Alex Thompson, who was asleep in a suite on the second floor, and who was removed from a hos- pital only a few days @#go, rushed from the house in her night robe and fainted on a lawn across the street. Bachelors in Undress Parade. L. W. and Thomas L. Martin, bache- lors, occupying a suites on the third floor, were unable to find their cloth- ing and fled in night costume. A Miss Cleary, who keeps house for them, also was driven into hurried flight. € After A. L. Pollard, his wife and their 14-year-old daughter had escaped from ‘their suite on/| the second floor, the daughter, Margaret, remembered that her pet spaniel, “Vic,”’ had been teft in the suite. In spite of the con- fusion, she ran back into the building and rescued the dog. The greatest damage was done in the suite occupied by the Hoffmans. The loss here is estimated at $1000. The total damage is believed to be about $2500, and a great deal of it was caused by smoke and water. Aftey the firemen had put out the blaze, it was found that not a single piece of fine chinaware on the Hoff- man’s plate rail had been broken and that their cut glass was not damaged in the least. The Hoffmans congratulate them- selves on the fact that a load of furni- ture they had ordered will not be’ de- livered until this afternoon. Many oc- cupants of the apartment house went tn the Hamilton Hotel after the fire. Train Killa Woman in Auto. NORTH YAKIMa, Wash., Sept. 2— Miss Frankie“Vaughn of this place was instantly killed and Edward L.

OH ALONS-SUR-MARNE, France, Sept. 2—A great crowd assembled here taday to witness the finish of the army* maneuver flights between suc and this city was overcome with horror when news was received that two of the eight contestants had beén killed in the flight, Lieut. Jacques de Grailly was burned to death in his machine while in full flight. Capt. De Camine, looked upon as one of the best avia- tors in the French military service, was crushed to death under the en- gine of his machine after falling from a great height. The other six army officers finished the flight without mishap. Patiently the crowd waited for the arrival of De Grailly and De Camine. After nearly an hour of suspense message was sent to the starting point. The answer was an official army dispatch telling of the tragic deaths of the two missing aviators. In the official gazette this morn- ing Lieut. De Grailly was mentioned for distinguished services and as- signed to special duty with the army aviation corps. De Gamine was looked upon as one of the most promising flyers in the mill- tary service. The’ right wing of his aeroplane be- came detached and the machine, weigh- ingg 1200 pounds, plunged about six hun- dred feet. It landed in a ditch. Farmers who ran to-xaid De Camine found him dead.

The other was written to Garrison o Feared He Would Do Fiancee Injustice. In the letfer to his father, Garrison explained that he was weary of a long struggle with a complicatipn of diseases, and would rather die than con- tinue his battle against ailments he believed incurable. ‘‘I feel it would be doing an injustice to a good woman if I should marry,’’ was one sentence in the letter. , Miss Williams’ Getter evidently was written in tic communication from Garrison. the better days to come.” Miss Williams, it is said, is now on her way not learn of Garrison’s death until her arrival in response to a pessimis- Its burden was “cheer up and think of* from Europe, and will New York, unless the > steamer’s wireless gathers the tragic story from the air. Garrison was cheerful when the three entered their suite Friday night. He conversed freely and told his svn to call him early Saturday, as they might take a boat trip. At 1 a. m. Garrison closed “the doors. between his room and those occupied by the other two men, His explanation was that there was a draft which aggravated an attack of hay fever, from which he suffered. Then he wrote the letter to his father, placed it, with Miss Williams’ letter and photograph in a conspicuous place, and put on his night clothes. Dead Four or Five Hours Before His Son Discovers the Tragedy The elder Garrison was the first to arise Saturday morning. He was joined in his room by his grandson, and the boy, after dressing, went to call his father. An instant later he rushed back to his grandfather's room, screaming that his father was dead. Garrison Sr., who is 65 years old, notified the hotel management, and Manager McCusker hastened to the room with Dr. L. Adam, the house physician. .Dy. Adam said Garrison had been dead four or five ‘hours. Dr. Adam said that Garrison, be- sides suffering from a kidney disease, intestinal disorders and hay fever, also was a-victim of neuresthenia. Body te Be Brought Here. After hearing Dr. Adam's decision, McCusker summoned Coroner Fern- berg. Arrangements for removal of the. body to St. Louis for burial are to be made by William G.

The elder Garrison and hig grandson were prostrated by the suicide, and neither was able to take care of details. | Sought Relief in Canada. - Garrison, who was 42 years old, let* St. Louis 10 days ago and went to Canada to seek relief from hay fever.

Fernando Iglesias Calderon doubtless also will be eliminated today and his vote of 321 will be split between Vasquez Gomez and Pino Suarez. : The unexpected showing made by Vas- quez Gomez has increased the fear on the part of the Pinoistas that he will get more than half of the potential vote. The Yucatan candidate’s supporters worked hard up to the opening hour of the convéntion to obtaini pledges for their candidate. Inasmuch as the Calderon vote has been known as a conservative vote, the adherents of Pino Suarez count upon it in tHe final contest, since Vasquez Gomez has acquired a reputation for radicalism rather. than for conservatism. The Vasquezitas believe their man will be carried in on a wave of popular senti- ment as a result of the work which he did during the revolution. The necessity for repeating the roll call precludes the possibility of a nom- ination’ before tonight, or possibly to- morrow.

He firm- ly believes there is a fortune for him in this invention if he can get it on the market; and when his brother re- fused financial aid my husband went out and came home at 11 o'clock under the influence of liquor. “IT don’t know what he used to stab himself with after he came home it was some sharp instrument. Ile came in the house and said something about having a fertune in his hands if he only had some money to put it through, then stabbed himseif. “My husband. bought this device from a moan who obtained it from the or- iginal inventor after ke was sent to an insane asylum.

GUTLER OFFER IQ RELP GIVE GITY GLEAN, PURE MIL State Food and Drug Commis- sioner Challenges Buckland, the St. Louis Chemist. Dr. W. P. Cutler of Columbia, State l‘ood and Drug Commissioner, came to St. Louis Saturday and issued a chal- lenge to City Chemist Buckland to co- operate with him in cleaning up the St. Louis milk situation. “*T have no controversy with Mr. Buck- land,’’ said Dr. Cutler to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, “‘but he has complained that. information contained in my last bulletin does not fairly repr.sent the St. Louis milk situation. The bulletin con- tained nothing but facts. My saiuta- tion to the city chemist is: ‘Come on, Buckland, and [J*t's clean up the Bt. Louis milk situation.’ Number of Tests. “T have just returned from a food congress at Duluth, Minn., and one of my inspectors has called my at- tention to criticisms that have been made of my last report, which con- tained the statement that tests showed some St. Louis milkmen to be watering their milk heavily and others skimming it, some of it run- ning as low as one-half per cent butter fat. “Of the tests made of St. Louis milk 11 were made at the request of Mr. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Buckland’s as- sistant. The samples were furnished by him, and he did the work. The others were made at the request of private individuals. The number of tests was not large. There is no pretense of stating in the bulletin that a large number of tests were made. The exact number of tests made and the results of each are shown. I am unable to see what justification there can be for a com- plaint that the bulletin, giving only these facts, does not fairly repre- sent the St. Louis situation. Offers Use of His Men. “On account of St. Louis having a milk inspection . department it has been my practice to make only suca tests as are requested. I did not want to be in the attitude of seeming to butt in on the St. Louis situation. I am not antagonizing the work in St. Lontis nor criticising it, but Mr. Buckland complains that he has not sufficient inspectors to do the work properly. Now, I have seven inspec- tors who are available for work in St. Louis. “If. Buckland will agree to appear in court and furnish chemical evi- dence, I will have my men do the inspecting and furnish the samples, and we'll clean up the milk situation in St. Louls. If either Buckland or the Health Department will request me to come into the city I will come and the work will be well done. “Milk is one of the most important of the food products. It should not only. be clean, but whole in butter fats and solids. The health of the community hinges to a great extent on the milk supply. It has seemed to me that the city ought to take care of its own milk situation, but if the city wants my assistance it.can have it. Come on, Buckland, and let’s clean up the St. Louis milk situa- tion.” SHOOTS HIS WIFE’S ESCORT ON STREET Bloomington (Ill.) Man En. counters Pair and Fires 3 Times, and Flees.

KIEL MEN WN BECKER 10 TH Salary Measure Is Saved by Vote of Ninth Ward Delegate on Jail Bill Promise. TWO REPORTS SUBMITTED Kriesmann’s. Supporters Had Planned to/Defeat Health De- partment Ordinance. By promising to defeat a bill which Delegate John Becker of the Ninth Ward has been opposing for several months, members of the Kiel faction in the House of Delegates have won his support for the bill increasing the num- ber and salaries of employes in the Health Department. At the same time friends of the Health Department measure succeeded in pre- venting its death at Friday night’s meeting of the House, after Mayor Kreismann’s supporters had laid plans to ferce it to passage and overwhelm it. The bill in whose death Becker is so much interested authorizes an appropri- ation of $150,000 for a new city jail and the canstruction of 208 concrete cells. Becker has \been fighting for steel cells. Becker Failed Before. Several weeks ago Becker agreed to vote for the hospital bill, but changed his mind at the last moment, after the jail bill had been kiiled. The Board of Public Improvements reintroduced ‘the jail bill and at his insfanc@ it has been defeated a second time. In return for this favor the advocates of the hospital bill expect him to join them when that measure is put on its passage Tuesday night. At Friday night’s meeting of the House the special committee appointed to investigate conditions in the /city insti- tutions made two réports on the bill in- creasing the force of employes and their salaries. Chairman Hale and Delegates Ittner and Walker favored the bill’s passage. Delegates Igoe and Sommer- ich, the minority, declared against its adoption, Chairman Hale said he had no objection to bringing the measure before the House, but opposed action until the special committee had time ‘to prepare and submit its report as to conditions in the hospitals. He said the committee would be unanimous in most of its findings. Delegate Igce held that as the Hospi- ta! Board had asked the House to file the bill and as there was no hope of an agreement among members of the spe- cial committee, no more time should be wasted in its consideration. Dele- gate Sommerich expressed the sama view. ‘About That $1,000,000. Replying to Igoe and Sommerich, Delegate Ittner of the majority, said that when the Hospital Board request- ed the withdrawal of the bill it was in the belief that there was no money to carry out its provisions. Since that time, Ittner declared, he had discovered that at least $1,000,000 is available. A motion to suspend the rules so that a vote on the bill might be taken at once failed to get two-thirds ma- jority. Thirteen delegates, among them Becker, opposed this plan. A sub- stitute by Becker, postponing . action until next Tuesday, was then carried. Those favoring an immediate vote were Eigel, Eilers, Gallagher, Gazzolo, Gev- ers, Glegerich, Gregory, Igoe, Lahiv, McCarthy, Oviatt, Rabenberg Scully, Sommerich and Speaker Lawton. They were ready to kill the bill if they could have got it before the House. Against a suspension of the rules were Barnett, Becker, Bischoff, Ebrecht. Ecklemann, Hale, Hall, Ittner, Klose, Loeffel, Methudy, Mohrstadt and Waik- er. , KREISMANN CALLS UITY HOSPITAL'S URITICS UNIUST Mayor, on Return From Vaca- tion, Says, Institutions: Have Been Greatly Harmed. Mdyor Kreismann, returning to his official duties at the city hall Satur- day, affer spending two months in his apple orchards at North Yakima, Wash., told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the hospital agitation, created by the House of Delegates’ investigation, had done the institutions great harm, without a compensating suggestion for a remedy for the conditions complained of. The criticism of the institutions, the Mayor said, was undeserved. The May- or said he did not wish, until after he had conferred with President Guridlach of the City Council, who has been Act- ing Mayor, and Comptroller Taussig and other city officials, to discuss hospital affairs. ¥ “I had a pleasant vacation in the West, and I feel fit to resume my du- ties as Mayor,” he said. “I have not ‘been in close touch with affairs dur- ing my absence, but read the newspaper reports of the hospital investigation. “I do not-care, at this time, to talk about official matters or politics. I want to familiarize myself with the sit- uation first.” @ Mayor Kreismann declinefl to discuas the repeal of the Southern Illinois Trac- tion franchise by the House of Dele- gates, or the Republican City Committee fight.

HOSPITAL BILL [THIS FATHER IS FIVE TIMES PROUD Small but Healthy Quintuplets Arrive at Home of Costa PORT LIMON, Costa Rica, Sept. 2.— Don Francisco Rodriguez, a merchant here, is five times as proud as he ex- pected to be. He was looking for one little Rodriguez, and five little Rodri- guezes came. And they are al} boys. At first he thought there was some mistake, but the second count verified the first, and when the five set up @ concerted demand for nourishment, it’ sounded like there were 15. The infants are small, but sturdy, and it is the opinion of the attending physicians that they ‘will all live. The Rodiguez home is besieged by townspeople who want to see the quin- tuplets, but the doctors will not per- mit them to be viewed until they are a little stronger. MAYOR GONE, DEPUTY DESERTS IN CRISIS Springfield Ship of State Is Rud- derless With Big Bond Issue Pending. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 2.—Desert- ed by two mayors and with one of the most important questions raised in this city in years before the Council, Spring- field is in a quandary as to what to do without an executive head. Mayor Robert E. Lee left for the West two days ago on a vacation. John Cowell, acting mayor, resigned last night. An ordinance providing a $600,- 000 bond issue for a municipal water plant is to come before the Council next Tuesday. The Council refused last night to ac- cept acting Mayor Cowell’s resignation, but Mr, Cowell without further warning left the city.

Radmer of Troy, and for several weeks past relatives and attorneys have been making\a careful search for him. “Why. you've had over $100,000 left to you Don’t you know it?’ said the friend. “TI was just wishing I had ten cents coming to me,” was Radmer’s rather startling rejoinder, for on his return here from the peach district in the western part of the State where he had been at work, he had’ but a small amount of cash.

Bi uch Envied, Gates Heir Gets Ready for College

ST. CHARLES, IIl., Sept. 9.—Envied by millions is young Henry Rockwell Baker, 2) years old, of this place, who is spending his spare moments study- ing college bulletins. With $10,000 on hand to pay for a university education he faces the cheerful prospect of get- ting $25¢,000 more when he gets his degree. Baker is one of the beneficiaries of the will of the late John W. Gates. He is a nephew of Mrs. Gates and he pleased his uncle by marriage when in

Baker probably will enter either Wis- consin University or Chicago Univer- sity. But he will not play footfall. Although his uncle placed no restric- tions upon him, the lad remembers that Gates was opposed to football; and, for that reason, will not attempt to make a team. He has promised when he leaves col- lege and comes into his $250,000, that he will stay away from Wall street. This is also out of deference to his late uncle’s wishes. John W. Gates once advised him, if he ever got hold of any money, to keep away from that mart of speculation and the boy regards this advice as a request.

Klose’s resolution declared that in view of the frequent statement that the United Railways Co. is violating the franchise requiring it to give transfers on transfers to enable passengers to get to their destinations by the payment of a single fare, the Public Service Com- mission be requested to give the House of Delegates information and recom- mendations as to conditions. , TRANSFER REFUSAL UP TO,M’CULLOCH H.

Schaefer and several friends attended a funeral at Picker Cemetery, returning by way of the Cherokee line, taking speeial transfers to Grand avenue. ‘‘We boarded the Grand avenue car and asked the conductor to give us transfers ‘o Compton avenue,” said Schaefer to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “The conductor said it wes against the rules to issue transfers to the Compton line. “One of the men lived in the 4200 block on Magnolia avenue and I live on ».ora boulevard. In either case it was a 10 or 15 minutes’ walk from Grand avenue. fhe company will issue transfers on transfers to all lines north of Chouteau avenue, but discriminates against the Park and Compton lines. Many persons

living in the vicinity of Tower Grove Park and Shaw's Garden either have to pay two fares to get to and from their work, or ride all the way downtown and transfer to some other line, or walk several blocks. “TJ could have ridden on the Cherokee ear from the cemetery to Tenth street e .4 Washington avenue and transferred to thé Compton line, but that would have taken at least one hour, while by transferring from Cherokee to Grand and from Grand to Compton I could have been home in a few minutes."

A brief con- ference between some of the inter- national Union officers and E. C. Calvin, manager and vice-president of the Southern Pacific was secretly held and it was also learned that an- other brief meeting was held with Mr. Kruttschnitt prior to his depart- ure for the East. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.—It will be & week at least, it is stated, before the next move in the contest now on be- tween the officials of the Harriman sys- tem and the leaders representing the ‘|five shop crafts who failed yesterday to induce Julius Kruttschnitt,' vice-pres- ident and director of maintenance and operation of the railroad, to recognize the shop employes’ federation. ' Kruttschnitt’s departure for the East was scheduled for today, but the labor leaders plan to remain here for several days arfa decide upon the next step to be taken. The latter had hoped that they might have another conference with Kruttschnitt here. It was their purpose’ to summon members of the general committees from Boston, San Antonio and El Paso, Tucson, Algiers, La.; Ogden, Cheyenne, Denver, Sacra- mento, Los Angeles, Sparks, Nev.; Omaha, North Platte, Pocatello, Kan- sas City and Portland, Ore., but Krutt- schnitt’s departure may make it ad- visable to call this meeting in some oth- er city. The labor leaders are holding a con- ference today. J. W. Kline, acting spokesman for the international presi- dents of the shop crafts, says he is. pos- itive the general committee will not re- cede from the determination to have the federation recognized or strike. rs I. C. SHOPMEN HOPE FOR PEACE By Associated Press. CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—Notwithstanding refusals’ by railroad officials to deal with any general federation of shop employes, labor leaders in Chicago were inclined today to believe that no stnke was imminent. For the employes, sen- timent was voiced by Secretary Kramer of the ‘International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers. He said: “It can be truthfully stated that ne- gotiations are still pending. Until peace efforts have’ ceased I see’ oo reason for forecasting results.”’ Referring particularly to the situation on the Illinois Central, Kramer said: “We believe that we shall be suc- cessful in maintaining peace. In asking President Markham for another con- ference, it is our purpose to present to him additional reasons why it would be advisable for the company to deal with a federation of its mechanics. “While the international officers now in Chicago have full authority to direct matters as they see fit, it is the inten- tion to continue to use conciliatory tac- tics.”’

Mrs. Ernie Waters, who lives at the Wies Hotel, East St. Louis, complained to Lieut. Doyle, Night Chief of Police, early Saturday morning that she had been robbed of $3000 worth of diamonds. On her description Paul Nardina, « bartender, was arrested at 5 o'clock Sat- urday morning and Mrs. Waters cama to the police station and identified bim. Her story of the affair is that she rang her bell at midnight and ordered a bottle of beer. When ‘this arrived there was a man right behind the bellboy who insisted that he was an old friend. | “The man came into my room,” says Mrs. Waters, “and tried to make me believe we had met before. I told him to go away, but he refused, and wanted to order more beer. “Then the fellow saw some of my dia- monds on the dresser, and picked up three rixgs, a gold watch, a brooch and my puree. I began to make a fuss, and he fired two shots at me, and ran down stairs. “I gave Sergt. Wilson a description of the man, and a few hours later he was arrested.”’ When Nardina was arrested Mrs. Wa- ters was sent for and identified the jewelry found on the prisoner. When she came to the police st@ion she car- ried a handbag with her in which were 11 diamond rings. She said the rings were worth $8000. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday morning Mrs. Waters said she was 2 years old and divorced from her hus- band. THREE ST.

MUNICIPAL INEFFICIENCY. “The Hospital Board has been in power more than a year,” said Acting Mayor Gundlach re- cently, “but until the revelations knew little about the’ institutions.” Dr. Shapleigh, of the Hospital Board, said “too little attention has been paid to the inside workings of the institutioms.” e The Hospital Department is only one branch of municipal endeavor, but it corisumes nearly one-twelfth of the municipal revenue. We know it ‘has been sadly managed and brought to a deplorable state through official indifference and neglect.

The presence of Peter White, the expert in municipal accounting in the City Hall, was re- sented. Delegate Hale has spoken of an investigation of every municipal department along the lines followed in the hospital case. It was intimated that the disclosures would be even more start- ling. It has been charged that the City Hall is packed with time servers and that the great-; est official effort is devoted to drawing the $7,000,000 in annual salaries. Other instances of inefficiency have come re- cently to light. The city is unable to control the milk supply or cope with the organized dairymen. _ It has failed to prevent cheating by weights and measures. The State Food Commissioner says that many of the bake-shops are dirty and unsanitary. The Health Board is hampered and unable to discharge to the full the duties commonly in- cumbent on it. The building of the free bridge has been bungled. The building laws, particularly in respect to tenements, are defective, and efforts to correct them have failed. Except in caring for the streets, providing splendid fire protection and fair police protec- tion, in collecting taxes and paying salaries, mu- nicipal efficiency is generally questioned. There is no graft apparent. Money greed and corrup- tion explain nothing. Ignorance, indifference, a dulled sense of responsibility, over-develop- ment of partisanship and spoils are contributing causes. Isn’t it time to take a municipal inventory, discover our assets and liabilities, apply the simple rules of economy and make a serious ef- fort to run the city according to modern meth- ods and approved rules?

THH FRANCHISE REPEAL. Delegate McCarthy, who has taken a course fn law since becoming a member of the Municipal Assembly, justified his vote against the repeal of the Southern Illinois Traction franchise last night on the ground that it tmpaired the obliga- tion of a contract and the Constitution renders invalid such laws. “Constitutfon,” ‘“tmpair” and other words rolled out as sonorously as though uttered by Senator “Bailey of Texas. At the time of the original passage of the franchise, votes {n its favor were being fustified on the ground that it could be repealed at any time and that the city would incur no Iiability through a withdrawal of the rights then con- ferred. If the city is to become involved itn litigation by reason of the repeal, it is better that the litigation should come now than later, when it will be more vexatious. If the city must make reparation because of a withdrawal of the rights unacted on, it can be made at less cost now than later. If damages should be assessed against the city, it would serve as a course of instruction to some delegates on the value of these franchises which are bestowed without proper safeguards. The Council should pass the bill without delay. ——

Sunday Recreation. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your editorial of the Sist headed “Popular- ity and the Lid” you say in defense of the Sun- day lid that the theaters are fortunately open, band concerts in the parks in the summer, base- | ball, ete., are lidless. } Only for Judge Noonan’'s rulings years ago the. lid would be on theaters, picture shows and base- | ball on Sundays, and it was he that while Mayor Originated and perfected the plan for having music in the parks, “A FRIENDLY READER.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “Crutches” could have truthfully written much more than he did concerning feminine discourtesy. The St. Louis woman may be mistress of etiquette, , but she knows little of true politeness, which is | “to do ang say the kindest thing in the kindest way.” She accepts everything without thanks. The sharpness of her hatpin, the angle of her um- | brella, her right to the whole sidewalk, is entirely her affair. She stares at the deformed, openly ridicules the unfashionably clad, jostles the small child, forgets that a colored person is a human be- ing, and knocks aside the crippled and the elderly. And why? There is no justice in her treatment of others because she has never knagn justice in regard to herself. She often received far more than her due, but the giving of it was based on other grounds than her abstract right to it. Hence she naturally claims anything and everything that her youth, beauty, guile or disagreeable persist- ence can win for her. Justice and consideration for others are not in- born, One knows what to expect when a child is born of lars and is taught directly and in- directly to falsify, his envirgnment characterized by suspicion and deceit. Yet when a girl is reared of unjust parents in an unjust way, people seem astonished at the product. At home her brother’s rights were always superior to hers simply be- cause he was a boy. She cannot earn her bread without being taunted with stealing a man’s job. She does as good work, often better, and is com-. pelled to accept half the salary. She is not as free to go,and come. The double standard of morals is, enforced. The law discriminates against her. The chief right of citizenship fis denied her on account of sex. She at no time in her domestic, socal, industrial or political relations has been taught to deal with herself or others fairly. She has, per- force, built her behavior on a basis of selfishness and caprice, regrettable but not surprising. “Crutches” told the absolute truth.

All “circumstaffees attending the revival of boxing exhibitions under New York’s new Fraw- ley law will promote agitation for a similar re- vival in other parts of the country. The first exhibition of the sort open to all classes of the public in 11 years was witnessed dy 10,000 people at Madison Square Garden. The price of tickets was raised from $1 to $2, then to $8 and then to $5 and the box office couldn’t hand them out fast enough. Outside 20,000 persons awaited the result of the contests. The circumstance that will attract the attention of eager advocates of the outlawed sport in Western cities is that the receipts were $40,000, five per cent of which under the law goes to the State as a tax to maintain an official de- partment for the regulation of public prize fighting. On the same day the boring law took effect a new act also took effect imposing further heavy restrictions on the ownership and use of fire- "Srms. A strong argument for the taxed, state- regulated prize fight would be found, if it can be shown that such exhibitions tend to encourage the use of the natural weapons rather than guns.

That the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund for the babies is now over $4500, nearly $1000 ahead of the entire amount for last year, is largely due to the work of St. Louis children, and the Post-Dispatch desires to thank all those enthu- siastic and kind-hearted young folks who have given entertainments for this best of all char ities. } The children have been very much in evi- dence in the work of raising the fund this sum- mer. And now that they are going back to school and can hardly be expected to continue the work as they have during the summer, the fund will have to get other support. The Pure Milk Oommission has been distributing many thousand more bottles of pure milk this season than ever before, owing to the largely increased demand. Four new milk stations have been running. There has also been a great increase in the distribution of free ice, owing to the excessively hot weather. For these rea- =

The Garbage Oan Ordinance. To the Fditor of the Post-Dispatch. I am reliably informed the Real Estate Fx- change is about to attempt the repeal of our pres- ent garbage can ordinance, because a few fam- ilies have their cans stolen from thefr prem- ises. Should the stealing of a few cans be any reason to repeal the best garbage can ordinance we ever had? And it will be still more effectual when thoroughly enforced by our police. This ordinance has done more to rid our city of rats than anything ever attempted, and I fully believe that when rigidly enforced it will eliminate the rodent pest entirely, except possibly at public markets or at grain elevators, where the rats have easy picking. Our garbage cans are secure when kept near the kitchen door and only put to alley gate on days when the garbage wagon calls. JOHN F. YAEGER. i oe eX - =. =

republic is happier in its vice-president at this time than it has been since Aaron Burr was elected with Jefferson. “Sunny.Jim” Sherman, as he is popularly termed in the national effort to address him in a manner becoming the dig- nity of the office, is about as good as the vice- presigency, and the vice-presidency {is about as good as he is.

ture, arming every leaf with a barbed thorn or poisoned sap, never thriving and ever thirsting. The creatures of the desert endured the sun and lived without water, and were at endless war. The hawk had a keener eye than his fellow of more fruitful lands, sharper beak, greater spread of wings, and claws of deeper curve. For him there was little to eat, a rabbit now, a rock-rat then; nature made his swoop like light- ning and it never missed its aim. The gaunt wolf never failed in his sure scent, in his silent hunt. The Iizard flicked an invisible tongue into the heart of a flower; and the bee he caught eng with a poisoned sting. The battle of life went to the strong. So the desert trained each of its wild things to survive. No eye of the desert but burned with the flame of the sun. To kill or to esca death— that ~ the dominant motive. To fight barrenness and heat—that was stern enough, but éach creature must fight his fellow. at then of the men who @rifted into the desert and survived. The must of necessity endure the win and heat. the drouth and famine; the must andy lean and hard, keen-ey and silent. The weak, the bumble the sacrificing must be winnowed trom among them.

| from the rustlers. Every foot of this ground he knew, and he climbed swiftly until he struck the mountain trail. . Then, descending, he entered the cedars. At last he reached a point directly above the cliff- camp where he had spent so many days, and this he knew overhung the cabin built by Holderness. He stole down from tree to tree and slipped from thicket to thicket. The sun, red as blood, raised a bright crescent over the red wall: the soft mists of the valley began to glow and move; cattle were work- ing in toward the spring. Never brush- ing a branch. never dislodging a stone, Hare descended the slope. his eyes keener, his ears sharper with every step.

And all the way she thought of sting- ing things to say. “Miss Mudridge isn’t home,”’ said the grinning maid, who answered Mrs. Jarr’s ring at the Mudridge door. “She's gone ourt.’’ “Gone out?” echoed Mrs. Jarr. ‘““Why, I called her up this morning and she sent word by you that she wouldn't be up for some time. : “She had an engagement, mum A gent called in an automobile for her about half an hour ago,” answered the maid, “and she was already dressed and waiting for htm.” “Oh!

OUTWARDLY GOTCH HAS

f Champion Makes Favorable Impres- sion on J. E. Wray After Work- out With Pair of Trainers.

BY JOHN E. WRAY, Sporting Editor of the Post-Dispatch. F temperament counts, Frank I here Labor day. Fresh from breaking through the thorns with which Hack surrounds his personality, I faced Gotch, the Humboldt (Io.) farm- er, yesterday. Y saw him in the morning, when, tired from a long train ride, he fronted the light brigade of newspaper men that overwhelmed him at the station; I saw him when he returned to his hotel after ‘ian auto ride, buffeted by billows of er-friendly admirers; I saw him at e Chicago Athletic Association, where @ patiently submitted to an operation by a squad of camera surgeons, and, st, when he went through a half-hour sion with Behemoth Rogers and Adonis Westergaarde on the mat. Through it all he was kindly, smiling, willing, even docile. He showed the _@weet disposition which, in thorough- breds, is the hall-mark of greatness. ‘Buch a trait indicates self-control and a sound nervous system. In contrast with the impattfent, rest- less and crotchety Russian Lion, Gotch leaves a favorable “impression every- where. But as a physical show person, Hack- enuschmidt surely has it on Gotch. When the champion stripped for his workout with his trainers, no such muscular velopment as the Lion boasts was vis- “le The depth of chest, the gorilla- s length of arm, the sharply defined ‘cular system, 80 pronounced in k, were wanting in Gotch. ‘gs was particularly noticedble when wrestled Jess Westergaarde, who t, if appearance counts, be an in- ted statue of a Phidian wrestler, fectly is he conditioned and mus- 1 is as smooth and round as an l-fed babe. There is no defi- f muscle any place on him, save “3 is under stress. He is not fat, ese sense, yet he evidently has ted to the end of getting him- wwht “fine.” If he were a boxer, rould say he needed a week's hard to be fit. ked Gotch the reason. He laughed, ' does at all implied criticism of 1ethods, and it’s a convincing ‘laugh, not one of your “con-men’”’ ations. —— ee * he said. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Gotch need not fear for his world’s wrestling title when he faces George Hackenschmidt

Gotch’s Condition _ Is Declared Perfect by Martin Delaney CHICAGO, Sept. 2. ARTIN DELANEY, athletic - director of the Chicago Athletic Association, said

today that Gotch looked in perfect condition. ‘“‘Gotch showed me some of. his holds, and the best one, to my way of thinking, is one he calls the ‘new up-ender, ’’’ said Delaney. “It is a simple tmprovement on the old hold of the same name. It is leg-scissors applied from behind, or when the defense man is on the mat. *“‘With the scissors in place, Gotch sits down, and, using his leg as a . stanchion, he has a pry with the other leg and both arms. The wrestler who gets into such a hold has no chance to get out, and the more he works against the hold the easier it is for Gotch to win, for he man in under works against him.”

“T am going into a contest that will cost me at least 10 pounds. I’ve touched lightly on the road work, because I’m not training for a Marathon, but a wrestling match, where one has to have some surplus to ‘go on.’ A little extra flesh is no drawback in this game. If you hark back to the days of the Turk- ish wonders, Nourolah, Madrali and others, you will remember they wore blankets of fat all: over them. In the matter of flesh reduction, all a wrestler needs is to be rid of such flesh as might diminish his. speed.”’ And Gotch proceeded to show that he had attained his goal, in this respect, by beating the lightning-limbed Wester- gaarde to every hold Ke attempted.

Outwardly_Gotch has lost nothing of his wrestling talent, although he is hardly as trim and virile looking as when he showed in St. Louis last. Fa- ther time has served notice on Gotch’'s “thatch” and the most skillful arrange- ment of his Fremaiaing capillary attrac- tions fails to hide the growing bald- ness on the “‘farmer’s” roof. There are doubts expressed here daily of the champion’s endurance, too, prob- ably on the strength of his absence from the arena for a long time, and his advancing years. But his trainers, per- haps too loyally, maintain that he is still the wonder of old. ‘Farmer’ Burns, who brought Gotch to light many years ago, and who taught the cham- pion the fundamentals, insists that his protege is better than ever. “I have known Frank every step he took up the ladder of wrestling,” said the iron-visaged veteran. “I know when he’s at his best and I believe he's a better man now than when he met Hack three years ago. And he’s game—that’s enough to win for him. I’ve seen him make a bean bag of this young wildcat, Westergaarde, day after day. “I'ra pulling for Gotch, sure. But I’m giving it to you straight when I say Gotch ig at the top of his ability now. Hack has Sandow crowded out of the spotlight when it comes to brute strength, I know, but Gotch is so fast the Russian will not be able to use it, except on defense.” This is a sincere opinion from a man who knows the last thing in wrestling. Nature built Burns too niggardly, or he himself would have been a world’s champion.

It is the visage of a man who does not wait to defend himself, but who carries the war into Africa. And. when Gotch makes war it is in the manner of one who is a master.

He thought out the terrible toe-hold and several tricks of a punishing na- ture. He has been through every stage of the game from “bushwhacking” |

President Hedges of the Browns re- turned Saturday to St. Louis from Cin- cinnati, where he fared poorly in the annual draft meeting of the big leagues. The Browns’ owner obtained but three players, although he put in drafts for 19 performers. He drew but one player of the 19 he sought. Hedges’ new players are Frill, a south-

paw of the Jersey City (Eastern League) team; Danzig, a first baseman of the Sacramento (Pacific Coast League) team, and Goosetree, a thitd baseman from the Winchester (Blue Grass League) team. “I wasn’t lucky th.s season,” said Prés- ident Hedges to the Post-Dispatch. ‘“‘I put in drafts for men like Cravath, Hy- att, Dubuc and others who have made good records in the minor leagues, but it wasn’t my good fortune to land any of these in the drawing. ‘‘Frill, the Jersey City southpaw, is a promising pitcher and I am glad I picked him. Danzig, the first baseman, has been up before, but has developed con- siderably since he was tried out before. Goosetree may need more developing, but his work in the Blue Grass League entitles him toa trial.”’ President Steininger and Treasurer Seekamp of the Cardinals also attended the meeting and fared more fortunately than Hedges. Nine new Cardinals were plucked.

through Alaska and the ‘“‘minor leagues’’ to winning a world’s title. He devoted mind as well as strength to the game. Hack is not in his class as a master of the details of attack and defense. Does Gotch think he will win? Of course, they all do. But read what he says of his chances: “Condition, and condition alone, will decide this match. That ought to con- vince you -newspaper doubters as to what I think of my shape right now. Everyone thinks I have trained wrong. But I say this fight is going to be no Reno. Jeff trained for a foot race, not a prize fight. I have prepared myself for a wrestling match and I’m fit. ‘“T got the best wrestlers I knew, Rogers for weight; Asbell and Wester- gaarde for speed; and Burns for advice. It 1s not possible I can have made any mistake in my ‘preparations. ’ “I’ve told everybody I’m confident. I will say I did not have that same feel- ing when I met Hack the first time. Now I say I shall win. “TIT have never said the Russian was easy. That would bé ailly.. He has crude strength, has improved his know- ledge of the game, and on defense is baffling because of his tremendous power of resistence. “He's not even the best of the secon. division, as a mere scientific wrestler; but he is hard to down. “You know as much about how I. will proceed against Hack, right now as I do. I have laid no positive plans. They're arguing the best way to handle me, over in the camp I see, but I leave all the prearrangements to therm. My campaign will be planned and ex- ecuted in the ring. “However, I'll win this match in two minutes, if it's possible. If it goes two hours, I°ll be surprised. “Age? What is this age thing? It’s nothing but the way you feel. Lots of men are seventy, at thirty years. My men tell me I work as fast as ever. I go the route well with my trainers. I think I will be the best Frank Gotch that ever was, when I get into the ring, Labor day.” Words are smoke and after Reno we find the sporting enterprises of the coua- try have not been properly equipped with smoke consumers. But one can hardly help believing Gotch. He's

CHIGAGO TYPOS FAVORED 10 WIN Windy City Printers Will Meet Cincinnatians in Final of Printers’ Tourney. A number of field. events, starting at 1 o’clock, will precede the final game for the baseball championship of the Na- tional Printers’ League between the Chi- cago and Cincinnati teams at League Park Saturday afternoon. Chicago de- feated New York Friday, 11 to 5. The game was a pretty one up to the sixth inning, as the Windy City nine had scored two runs in the first inning while New York had shoved men across the plate in the third and fifth, tieing the score. Then came the deluge, which resulted in the fat total of nine runs for Chicago. Neither team played as good ball as their previous games would indicate, Chicago making six fielding breaks and the Gothamites one less. New York won the championship for the past two years and a victory Friday would have given the New Yorkers a great chance to again bag tne title and obtain permanent possession of the Gar- ry Herrmann cup. Cincinnati has been playing good ball, but Chicago {ts fa- vored by the fans whd have been fol- lowing the games to take the Queen City men into camp. SIX CREWS ENTER FAUST CUP EVENT The North Ends-and Centurys will be the only local clubs that will not have crews in the annual race for the Faust cup, which will be rowed on the Mis- sissippi River Sunday afternoon. Six crews will start, two from the Centrals and one each from the Mound Citys and Westerns and two from the St. Louis. The race will be for barges and wil! be three miles down stream with the finish at the foot of Palm street. Ata meeting Friday night representatives of the clubs drew for the positions, the re- sult being as follows: St. Louis No. 1 crew, No. 1 water; Westerns, No. 2 wa- ter; Mound Citys, No. 3 water; Centra] No. 1 crew, No. 4 water; St. Louis No. 2 crew, No. 5 water; Central No. 2 crew, No. 6 water. Frank Hammer of the Central Rowing Club will start the race. Frank Kie- fer of the St. Louis Rowing Club and Billy Lampe of the Westerns will act jointly as referees. The start will be from anchored skiffs which must be at the starting line not later than ? o’clock. The race will be started at 4 o'clock. The Centrals now have two legs on the Faust trophy and another race will give the club permanent pos- session of the cup.

“Bugs” Ravmond Has Two Ribs Broken in Free-for-All Fight CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—‘‘Bugs” Raymond, former pitcher of the New York Giants, who recently joined the Chicago semi- pro. ranks, was badly injured at. Coal City, Ill, in a “scrap” with Catcher Johnson of his team. In the mixup two of Raymond’s ribs. were broken and Johnson's nose broken. There was a baseball tournament at Coal City in which five neighboring vil- lages were represented by teams. In a same betweerm Torino and Dwight, a riot occurred, the crowd preventing a con- tinuance of the game. Charles Smith of Coal City had his Skull fractured by a hal) pitched by Henry Odenthal and Frank Flood of Dwight was knocked unconscious by a ball thrown by Joe Williams. Al] three are in a hospital.

4. A. OWNERS ARE SEVERELY JOLTED Disappointed Minor Leaguers Will Hold Meeting to Decide Upon Future. CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—President Thomas Chivington of the American Association has returned from‘ Cincinnati, where Thursday he presented grievances of his league to the National Commission. A ‘special meeting of.the league will be called in the near future, but Presi- dent Chivington today was unable to give the: exact date. President Chivington expressed disap- pointment at the action taken by the National Commission and did not at- tempt to conceal his feelings in matters. “We were surprised doublefold when the finding of the commission was handed down,” said Chivington. ‘We had expected that some of the requests would be objected to, but felt that rec- ommendations would be made which would ald in a solution of the differ- ence in question. “But there was not a chance for any argument and at this time I am unable to predict the ultimate outcome. That remains entirely with the American As- sociation owners, who will be called .in meeting in the near future.’

LITTLE BETTING IS REPORTED ON MAT BATTLE Gotch Is a 7 to 5 Favorite With Few if Any Big Wagers Being Made.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2—With the great- est of all wrestling championships only two days distant, this city is singularly apathetic, if wagering on the resit be a criterion. Nominally the odds are 7 to 5 in favor of Gotch. Actually you can’t dynamite a $50 bet on either man out of the most ardent wooers of chance. No record of any considerable sums posted is to be found nor is anybody flourish- ing aureate tinted bank rolls in the market place. The money changers are suspicious. Suspicion is what keeps wrestling in the background. It was a world famous sport when Sparta was in swaddling clothes and when up to date boxing gloves were inlaid with spikes. But the advent of the ‘‘cross’’ andthe “double- cross,” the cold cream greasing stunt and the grab-all promoters have cruci- fied the game. The public would like to “‘go to it,’’ but is afraid. One man today offered to wager 7 to 5 the first fall will go over 30 minutes. It’s a rather legitimate bet, anyhow; but he figured it a cinch, believing there exists an agreement with the picture- men. It is not true; but it illustrates the skeptical attitude of the public. Hack Has Light Workout. Hackenschmidt had one of his pink workouts yesterday afternoon. It was another camera reception and the work- out was perfunctory. Hack was in one of his lighter moods, laughing and chat- ting with his trainers. His work will be very light henceforth, just enuogh to keep his muscles pliant. Gotch will do light wrestling stunts daily with his partners. Martin De- layey, formerly coach at St. Louis Uni- versity, now director of athletics at the Chicago Athletic Association, has thrown open the club’s gymnasium 60 the champion’s party. Fully 500 met- bers. and a number of sport critics from varivus parts of the country wit- nessed Friday’s workout. To prevent scratching or injuring the men, a silk plush rug was stretched over the mat, forming what was prob- ably the most expensive footing ever a wrestler worked on. The real cham- pionship mat has already arrived. It was made by Wrestler George Baptiste of St. Louis. Mrs. Frank Gotch, who, with the champion’s mother, arrived in the city yesterday, said today she would see her husband battle for his title, Monday afternoon. She is not afraid of the out- come. She thinks this big bear Frank will win surely. But she wishes it were all over. “It would almost break my heart to have Frank lose,’’ she said today. “But, after all, it’s all in the game. Frank told me it would probably be the great- est match In hig career. He was splen- aid about it and was willing to not make #he match, if I had insisted, but I saw that his heart was set on it. He wanted to prove to the world that he could beat Hackenschmidt at his best, and it would have disappointed him sadly had I said ‘no.’ match it would be a shame for him to lose. I can’t feel sorry for Mr. Hack- senschmidt if he is beaten—he has been so mean about it all.” 6 a

ao A see _ ANOTHER HISTORIO HIGHWAY. The Missouri idea in cross-state road building has spread to Oklahoma, Where three macadam highways from Kansas to Texas are now pro- jected. In the interest of one of the proposed roads, the Chisholm Trail Good Roads Associa- tion has been organized at Enid. Like the Santa Fe trail, selected as the official route in Missouri, the Chisholm trail represents history. For many years it was the sole route of travel and freighting from Wichita to Dallas and Fort Worth. A regular stage coach line carried supplies over it to the Southwestern In- dian agenejes and the Fort Reno and Fort §ill garrisons, and hundreds of thousands of Texas eattle annually kicked its dust in air on their way to market before the days of palace stock trains, run on passenger time. The new highway will be a memorial of those days and of Jesse Chisholm, the Scotch-Cherokee who first pusheg bis way 230 miles north from the Texas frontier, = = % — =

THE SINCLAIR IDEAL. If a family were but a partnership of two; or if, after civilization has evolved the family to its present high estate, we were prepared to allow it to fall back to a condition of mere animalism, the Sinelair plea for absolute freedom from iegal restraint in marriage would be worth considering. In a world of men and women without possible offspring, it is evident that the only consideia- tion would be that each should find his mate so that peace and harmony might reign. Thero “would be no posterity to be injured. Nothing ‘would have to be considered but present eomfort and individual happiness. But the fact that the modern family usually has its tendrils in the future as well as its roots in the past—-that children and children’s children _ pre essential factors of its endurance—makes any ww P 4 er oo aye cae, sx underdistributio . plea for the Sinclair ideal sophistical as ignoring the facts. There are those who believe that, in the matter of the family, we have come to the parting of the ways, and that we are shortly to take a step in evolution—rather a leap—that wijl practically revolutionize the family, if not abolish it by legalizing “trial marriage,” “trial divorce,” and other startling propositions for moral and social experiments. The wish is undoubtedly father to the thought in this movement. Nothing but pro- miscuity could result from the trial marriage. A patent thing is that the advocates of these innovations in legal form consider only thém- elves. The father or mother whose motives are all selfish is not the one who ig to make rules for all of us. ( Topeka proposes to give President Taft a ride behind a team of 5-year-old mules when he vis- its that city, Sept. 27. Speaker Clark \has only himself to blame for letting Kansas and Taft get this clever bit of press-agentry away from Missouri and Champ Clark, for whom it was originally designed.

== * — a CONTROLLED MAREETS. Indianapolis is attempting to learn how and why. its market for food products is controlled. When the restriction of the market has »-en charged against the railroads, part of their suc- cessful defense is the statement of Mr. J. RB. Mc- Neeley, traffic clerk, that he had seen carloads of melons left to rot in Indianapolis freight yards because it was feared that marketing them wou!d “bring down the price.” | - (This leaves little to be explained. Every city has now the same problem whieh exists in In- dianapolis as an incident of systematie under-dis- tribution. The railroad system of the country is not yet perfect. Its methods may be objected to for cause, but as a whole, it is a system of dis- tribution in good faith. It exists to distribute what is needed from every point where it is pro- duced to every point where the demand for it is strong enough to move it. Whatever else is said of them, railroads this year ean and do “deliver the goods,” including the food supply, in the abundance neceggary for comfortable living. Even in cases where railroad rates are most complained of these rates inelyded in the prices of food do not prevent its distribution. Since, with all their faults, railroads are actual distributers, they are not controlling the market of St. Leuls or Indianapolig against the consum- er, but are supplying it. The ebvious fact of the _ present is that their supply is reaching controlled markets. The system which closes them is in- tended to distribute only enough to collect the highest possible price without "breaking” it. That . Gl “smands attention, pop- “~“ee 4 legtalet’-- : .j |

ee UNIONISM AND JUSTICE. Economic interest attaches to the disagree- ment between the Union Pacific system and its shop employes. There may or may not be a great strike involving the losses that are inevi- table when a great railroad system is tied up and an industrial army becomes idle. With such affairs and their results we are all familiar. But the preliminary negotiations in this case have brought to light in emphatic form the faet that no progress has been made toward com- promise or adjustment of the fundamental dif- ferences between employer and employed. Strikes for higher wages, better shop conditions, better treatment or a clearer understanding of their respective rights are not so difficult to ad- just. Reason asserts itself in the end and sen- sible men always find a solution. But a strike for what organized labor -has established as the fundaments of its code brings the employed not only into conflict with employers but with other fundaments, viz., those of liberty itself. For instance in this railroad case ynionism demands recognition of a new federation of em- ployes, made up of different trades. This is merely an extension of an existing agreement which the railroad authorities are at liberty to make if they wish. It provides for a closed shop —that 4s, compulsory membership in a specified union for every man employed. This is obvious- ly the exercise of tyrranical power. At this point the union departs from negotija- tion »with the railroad and begins to negotiate with the people for a change of fundamental principles, of which one is the unrestricted right to labor. The individual may barter away this right if he pleases, but in justice he cannot be deprived of it or coereed into yielding it up. The demands in this case also set a limit on the number of apprentices. In operation it may be a trifle; in prineiple it cannot be approved, It is a favorite ‘:bor method, but an evil one. It closes the door of opportunity and denies to youth the chance for the training which leads to expert craftmanship. There is also a provision that “no employe shall work by the piece, premium or bonus sys- tem.” That is to say, efficiency is penalized or unrewarded, and individyal capacity or skill counts for nothing. A dead level of ability is established and the average must be near that of the poorest workman, We have no quarrel with an organization which can get out of any employer the best agreement possible. But no one can condone such a bald effort to establish a monopoly which inevitably curtails human liberty, restricts op- portunity and penalizes efficiency. Standard Oil did it and was dissolved. The Tobacco Trust did it and met the same fate. Organized labor cannot do it and hope for final victory, Justice must be recognized. Where organized labor places its perpetuation before justice and gains, if it does gain, power at the price of a greater freedom, it must be a temporary victory that will be turned to defeat. To organized labor we look for greater fairness and a finer apprecia- tion of that form of liberty which is bound to assert itself. POST-DISPATOH.

==" rere SABOTAGE. When strikers burn freight cars and night rid- ers destroy growing or gathered tobacco crops or organized ironworkers blow up industrial plants, we have no word in the English language that spe- cifically describes the act. Probably we shall have to borrow such a word from France. There they have @ definite term to apply to the deliberate destruction of property, when the motive is furtherance of a cause or ter- rorism with other ends in view, Railroad acci- dents caused by strikers who were refused rein- statement last year, the spilling of champagne by wine growers, the destruction of garden truck by wien in protest against hign prices — called “sabotage by the French. It is a more wickedly vicious weapon than even the boycott, for which the English language sup- plied a word te the world, At present English words, that accurately and adequately describe it may be found, but they are profane words, inhibited by good usage under all but exception- al circumstances.

The thief who stole the ‘Mona Lisa” has be- come a public educator. He is making Leonardo da Vinci’s work more interesting to the publie of Europe and America than it ever was before. Perhaps before the discussion of the “elusive smile’ on the face of the portrait is over the twentieth century may learn what Leonardo meant by begging the pardon of posterity for his failure in life. This he did in his epitaph. He apologized to posterity that in giving it his best, he had failed in the work of a life, dévoted to finding the secret of the best. In the nineteenth century Hallam studied the fragments which are left to show what this man, living just at the elose of the “Dark Ages,” did in trying to fit himself for his work, Hallam found that back of the failure he confegsed, he had won “almost preternatura] knowledge.” He had studied human life on earth, the earth itself, and the universe, until in his failure were eoem- prehended the ideas which made success for Kep- ler and Newton. “The very theories of modern geology are anticipated by Da Vinci.” Such a man must have worked in the same way, if he had worked at bricklaying instead of ‘art.” He worked for. eomprehension. What we treasure as his masterpieces, he theught of as hig failures. When hig grasp of the meaning of the highest civilization appeared “almost preternatu- ral” to Hallam, it weg gtill to him only the “elus- ive smile” on the face of his own master theught. ‘Thieves who steal or monopolists whose money controls the visible expressions of such minds,

It may be sombut we can’t help thinking it only seems that long in Bulgaria.

= i! i THE CORPORATE FRANKENSTEIN. ‘ When. the. disorganization of two great trusts which is proceeding under the mandate of the Supreme Court has been completed, a decrease in the capitalization of the parent companies that formed the backbone of each will follow as a mat- ter of course. Supposing the process had been re- versed and the capitalization decrease had come first, would disorganization have followed as a matter of necessity? We cannot be too sure about tnat. We may, howeyer, be reasonably sure that if there had been originally such legal limits as would restrict corporate capitalization to amounts below those requisite to typical trust operations in a popuious country of continental extent, there never would have been any trusts in the first place. The abuse of watered stock and the abuse of unlimited corporate capitalization are related but not identical. Stock issues of by no means exces- sive amounts may be heavily watered and stock which has back of every dollar of it assets of an equal amount may be in excess of any needs other than those looking to the creation of a mo- ndpoly, President Edward H. Farrer of Louisiana told the American Bar Association that@under the permissive latitude giving rise to goa elo great corporate Frankensteins have been ereated that spread terror and threaten destruction. In 41 of the 45 states no limit is placed on corporate capitalization, Only 21 states prohibit perpetual charters. No state prohibits dummy directors, From the defeetive and unwise laws Mr. Farrer describes in 45 states, the corporate and financial evils that have grown under them might be ac- curately predicted and minutely catalogued by one without present knowledge of those evils them- selves. Legal restrictions confining capitalization to reasonable limits and oiitlawing watered capital{- problem of the trust, the problem of the sup- pressed competitive element in transportation, the problem of rate regulation. What incentive would remain for the formation of a tobacco trust, if its watered stock could not be issued for the enrich- ment of its organizers in stock jobbing? What instrument more reliable in trust-busting than one which would deny to any corporation in any state the capitalization without which trans- actions on the scale of the operations of the to- bacco combine in restraint of trade would be im- possible?

ROUTINE SPECIALISTS. In aviation, as in everything else, our Gov- ernment experts are doing as well as anyone has a right to expect, and somewhat better. When Capt. Chandler and Lieut. Arnold hauled their machine into Washington after a dash into Mary- land, it is now said that they “bumped ignomin- iously back,” but there was no ignominy about it. They did their duty as part of the roytine which they carry out in making official reports correctly or in being shot under orders. 3 Government departments in the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France now include professional experts, representing every line on which the world has advanced or can advance. They are men of ability, trained as specialists to the extreme of all special training can give. the sum total of their work now as in the past merely shows that tney are earning their sal-- aries and doing tyeir routine duties so well that nothing better is to be expected. When in any line this year, a world record is unexpectedly made in such a way that advance will date from it, it will not come from experts doing their routine duty under orders, They have no freedom of initiative sueh ag belongs to the unpaid yolunteers of progress who sacrifice everything of less consequence for the sake of it. When it is said that these are not spoiled by “stall-feeding,” it does not discredit those who their duty under official routine. Government reeessary and its routine ig negessary. But when the world moves, unpaid volunteer enthusi- asm moves it. ~% hp A Li» '-~- A law, which, out of every dollar’s worth of wool imported, would take 20 cents as a tax would at one time have been regarded as a pretty stiff protective measure.

The almost magic ring has a strange history. It was origin- ally acquired by some adventurous Margrave of Nouremburg, a crusader, who helped to redeem the Holy Sepulchre from the Moslems and who stripped the ring from the finger of a Saracen leader he had slain. The talisman descended from Margrave to Margrave, a much prized heir- loom, unt!) it became prized treasure of the kings of Prussia and at last of the Emperor. CROSS REPLACES KORAN VERS®P. The verse of the Koran which was engraved on it has been eut out and replaced by a cross, which it is believed by the Emperor, has in- creased its protective virtues. His people hear that the Emperor belleves firmly in the ring’s power. Certainly he is a very lucky man. But patriots neeq not worry over the wide- spread report that the Emperior Hkes to drop into the language of his maternal grandmother, which he speaks perfectly. To his wife and family he speaks German and’ only German. T= tell the truth, he does not even speak classica) German but has a strong Berlin accent and whea he is in very good humor he uses a number of typical Berlin patois expressions, The Emperor is an admirable Minguist.. Fu speaks French like a Frenchman, as Munter, the French chocolate king, always one of the Em- peror’s intimates, has asserted often. Besides the Emperor talks Russian freely and has a sound working knowledge of Italian as well as more than a smattering of Spanish and a travel- ler’s acquaintance with Norwegian. But his tongue is as German as his heart. From his youth he has opposed the adoption of foreign manners and customs and the-choide of Bnglish as the court language would find in him its bit- terest opponent if it could ever be seriously eon- sidered at all. BRITAIN ALMOST DENUDED OF HER ART TREASURES Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911. by Press Pub, Co. (New York Wortd.) LONDON, Sept. 2.—Frederick Courtland Pen- field of New York, a noted art collector, has caused a commotion in art circles here by declar- ing that personal inspection has convinced him that a large number of the heirlooms in several lordly galleries of Great Britain have been dis- posed of and that the old frames have been filled with cleverly executed modern duplicates. Among Mr. Penfield’s purchases last year was Sir Alma Tadema’s “A Spring Festival,” for which he paid $75,000.

This prodigy is Blanche Slocum of Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago. She its the daughter of a traveling salesman., “It has always been my opinien,” said Miss Garden to the Post-Dispatch correspondent, “that more harm than good is often done by singers taking young proteges, for in 90 cases out of a hundreq false hopes are raised which end in failure, sorrow and suffering.

(Mew York Wortd.) MADRID, Sept. 8—A story about King Alfonso is being whispered that goes to prove that young monarch to be as fickle as gallant, And the story is all the better because in it the gallant is snubbed by the fatr. The King has been extremely attentive to Julita Fons, the leading comic opera singer and star of the Theatro de la Comedia.

LONDON, Sept. 32.—During Jack Johnson's stay of about four days im the luxurious Hotel Picca- dilly the management often commented on the quiet mannets of the pugilist, and explained that it was only en account of the other guests that he had been requested to vacate. He was always unostentatious about the place, entering and leaving by a side entrance. ° There was much remark about his appear- ance. He has increased greatly in weight, and

She had been a mem- ber of our chorus. I consented rather than hurt her feelings. When she began to sing I was astonished and quickly realised that I was listen- ing to a phenomenal voice.

Co. (New York Wortd.) TURIN, Italy, Sept. 2—King Victor Bmmaanauel has found another tenant for the Chateau of Mon- cellen, near Turin, but the newcomer will hardly maintain the regime of piety and eharity which characterised the late Princess Clethilde’s tenure of the estate. He is Prince Humbert, whese spe- cial title is Count of Salemi, the only ehild of the late Duke of Aosta by the latter's second mar riage to Préncess Letitia Bonaparte. Count Salemi, who is 232 has often painted Rome red, and now is in “quarantine” at Men- cellen prior to being shipped te Genos on « naval career. The King, his cousin, has pardoned Hure- bert for his follies, but is determined to be severe, since the Count’s name has been coupled with that of the wife of a high official in a way te cause a public scandal. . KING PETER’S DAUGHTER AT LAST FINDS A MATS. Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch ané New York World BELGRADE, Servia, Sept. 3.—-Following the an- nouncement of the betrothal of Servia’s Crown Prince to Princess Tatiana Constantinovittch comes the news of the engagement of King Peter's only daughter, 27-year-old Princess Heli ne, who seemed destined to be an ol4 maid, and for whose benefit His Majesty recently teured the courts of Europe in an endeavor te find her a husband. Peter’s visit to the Caar seems 4° have borne most fruft, for the chosen nagging is Prince John Constantinovitch, ana’s brother and the eldest ton of while her ‘royal admirer. was there. and that she was one of the women on board the Duke of Westminster's yacht on-those two days when the King and the Duke sailed to “the New Forest, landed and enjoyed quiet picnics in that royal hunting demesne,” But it would appear that the King ts as tncon- sistent as was his father. Returning here, Al- fonso’s fancy lightly turned to “La Fornarina,” 4 music hall artist, a tremendous favorite with her audiences. The gossips are telling each other in thefr boudoirs that the King invited the fascinat- ing “La Fornarina” to supper and inclosed in his missive two 1000-peseta notes—about $6500 in all. But the haughty musical star replied that, while she was highly honored by the King’s at- tention, she is not in the habit of “playing second fiddle” to anyone—Senorita Julita being first fid- die, of course. So “La Fornarina” declined His Majesty's invitation, thanked him gratefully for the $500 and told him she woulg give the money to a charitable institution. | ANATOLE FRANCE DECLINES ARISTOCRACY BY RIBBON Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, Sept. 2.—Anatole France, the well- known French writer, is being severely criticised for his refusal to accept the Legion of Honor rib- bon. The Minister of Education offered it to him, and he was to be made a commanéder of the legion, too, Many great men in France would consider this the greatest honor that could be bestowed on them. But France is democratic, and does not believe in artificial boundaries. He says the honor which would have been bestowed upon him would have placeq him among snobs who think that a piece of ribbon places them above the rest of the elie cowl large quantities of chicken were sent to the room in which all his meals were served. As previpus cable dispatches have reported, a stranger lieg at the hotel last week and en- gaged one of the best suites in the house for “Mr. Johnson and party.” On Monday of this week the Johnson party arrived, consisting of a white valet, a white woman nurse, the pugilist’s white wife, who ap- parently was quite ill, dusky Jack and the man who engaged the apartments, who turned out to be Johnson’s white secretary. Jack’s golden smile was strongly in evidence as the party marched to their rooms, and the management was too horrified, too dumbstricken to protest. Next morning, however, it politely sent word to Johnson to vacate. He went down to the lobby end eloquently pleaded that: his wife was ill and it would be impossible for him to leave. That was quite true, so the manage- ment relented, but said he must move as soon as, possible. : This was done on Thursday, gvhen Jack went to Paris to begin training for his fight with “Bombardier” Welle tn London next month, © FRANCE LEADS EUROPE IN NUMBER OF PUBLICATIONS Special Cabie to the Post-Dispatch and New York .

LONDON, Sept. 3.—<An international divorce Quest‘on was brought up tn the House of Lords recently when a full pardon was granted to Earl Russell, convicted 10 years ago of bigamy and sentenced to a short term of imprisonment. His was one of the few trials of a peer by the peers in recent years, and for that reason at- tracted much attention. Earl Russell was married in 1890 and the union proved unhappy for both, persons. Fileven years later he went to Nevwada and obtained a divorce, and to do so had to establish a residencé in that State. While waiting for the decree the Earl saw much of the Wild West and became a well-known figure around Carson City, Reno, Rawhide anid other mining towns. Returning to England, he married again, but the House of Lords would not recognise his American divorce and tried him on # bigamy charge. The first Countess Russell died in 1908, and now Earl Russell has been restored to good stanid- ing among the peers. HEALTH CERTIFICATE FOR ALL ARMENIAN WEDDINGS.

Actual possession of the land cannot be had until opening day, but registration for these free farms should be filed immediately. Any person, man or woman, can ap- ply for one ofthese farms by regis- tration with the Midland Trust Com- pany of Kansas City, the registrar. The coupon blank printed with this first 750 registrations will receive farms; applications received after the Jand allotment is exhausted will be returned. For the purpose of this plan, as hereinafter outlined, a value of $30.00 an acre is the basis, while the ectual yalue is many times greater, as it is mostly prairie, muck or hummock land, an sy pape now ready for t is a part of the famous Indian Prairie. The soil is enormously rich; it is in the heart of the citrus fruit district; the climate is ideal and there is plenty of pure water. Irriga- tion is not required. Books are now open in the offices of the Midland Trust Company for the registering of applications. Reg- istration should be made immediately on the coupon herewith provided, and all applications will be registered in the order received. Registration should be made imme- diately by mail, but not more than one registration can be made by any individual. It is especially desired to attract tenant farmers, wage-earners, etc., who will take possession in De- gember. However, no discrimination can be shown, residence is not re- uired, and different members of a amily may each register. ae Within thirty days from registra- tion land contracts will be forwarded the 750 successful applicants. Everyone Eligible to File. There is no reason why everyone ‘should not mail their registration promptly, as no one can lose; you are either awarded a free farm of forty acres or your registration fee is re- urned and you are not out one cent or one day’s time. The distribution is absolutely fair and impartial and like all other openings it is simply a case of first come first served. Government land openings require rsonal filing, residence or other con- itions that entailed considerable per- sonal discomfort or loss of time. The conditions of this opening are very simple and easy, as you can file by mail and residence is not required on the land. A clear and perfect title is given after proving up the claim and provision has been made for a warranty deed even before the expira- tion of proving time when such is de- sired. The land may be ocupied any time on or after December 11, or the holder may sell or retain the farm. Registration Fee 31.00 Per Acre. To secure a free farm of forty acres you should not delay, but mail in the attached registration coupon, together with the lawful registration fee of $1 per acre, which will be returned in event the entry is received after the allotment is exhausted, and which ultimately will be refunded successful entrants after their claims have been properly proven up. Abundant safe- guards are provided for the rights of all applicants and entrants. To se- cure the free farm under this plan, however, it is essential to fill out the registration blank printed with this announcement, writing name and ad- dress plainly, enclosing the lawful registration fee 6f $1.00 per acre, and mailing your letter promptly to the sa A Mo., which acts as registrar. . There is no lottery or chance or drawing involved in this opening, a simple registration by mail is required and the free farms will be awarded in the order registrations are received. After the allotment has been exhaust- ed all applications in excess thereof together with registration fees will be ee returned. The books of the idland Trust Company are subject to the serutiny of bank examiners of -the State of Missouri. To icipate, therefore, in the magnificent rewards of this opening requires, most of all, prompt action. It is estimated that each person thus awarded 40 acres will receive land worth at least $1200.00, and on which he can grow crops that will yield not merely a living, but a net profit, de- pending on industry, cultivation, #tc., of from $3,000.00 a year up. As high as $800.00 per acre has arenty been Cleared from the same kind of land in this district. Probably never again will such a land opening be duplicated. While many acres of government and state land yet remain. subject to entry, the most of this is in remote places, dry lands, or Jand not demonstrated to be fertility, in a climate so with natural conditions so favorable that probably there is no- where farming jand more desirable.

Experts have passed on this soil and declare it to be as rich rand fertile as any land in Florida. Ample supply of pure water, with arte- Sian wells—gushers—at 300 feet. This tract of land is high, well drained and contains neither overflow or swamp land. Transportation now afforded by Atlatitic Coast Line and Water Routes. Two other railroads building and as projected will go through this tract. Climate is far enough south to be free from the ravages of frost, while there are no extremes of heat; pleasant, balmy weather all the year around. XU % Xe ty Ae Ne G | & 1 & et, enateets This is a thoroughly tried citrus country. Here for forty years the farmer has grown his oranges and grape fruit. The raising of all these very ‘profitable fruits for commercial purposes is no experiment, but a thor- oughly demonstrated fact—the very cream of the citrus lands of Florida. Not only can these be grown, but win- ter vegetables, such as beans, potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant, cueumbers, squash, melons, strawberries. Taking the more staple crops, here is grown corn, sugar cane, long staple cotton, hay, pecans and figs, avacados, pineapples; in fact, the land will produce all the profit- able crops of Florida. Big Prices for Crops. All crops mentioned have been grown in this district, and the figures quoted are from actual records. Hun- dreds of farmers in this district will afford full information te settlers and verify all data here given. The profits of orange grov+s, grape fruit, sugar cane, etc., are well known. They will average from $500 to $800 an acre. However, for purposes of comparison, consider the following data of garden truck production. Sweet potatoes, net profit, $200 per acre; Tomatoes, $450 per acre; Onions, $650 per acre; Beans. $315 per acre; Lettuce, $440 per acre: early crop, $110 per acre; watermelons. a very easy, quick and sure crop, $70 per acre; cantaloupes, $156 per acre. Vegetables are planted and marketed the year round. Where the northern farmer is lucky to get one:crop and has to struggle against intense cold intense heat and often drouth, the De Soto farmer markets four crops in the balmy climate. In fact ten acres will give a man in- dependence and 40 acres will make him rich. “Nor do you pioneer when vou go to De Soto County. It’s the land of sunshine and flowers, ocean breezes gorgeous plants, fishing, hunting, boat- ing and bathing. You don’t worry about crops, markets, irrigation, frosts for nature is here in her kindest mood and crops command the highest prices from buyers on the ground. Live in a oa asia bungalow, pay attention to your work, and nature wil] rich and healthy, a oe Terms of Land Contract. Outside of the lawful registration fee of $1.00 per acre which must ac- company your registration applica- tion (in this instance with application for 40-acre farm you must remit $40 which will be returned to you if your allotment is not made) there are no charges upon the land, such as exist s etc., except an item of yearly interest which is paid to the Midland Trust Co. This interest is but a small sum annually and at the end of fifteen years ceases, at which time your orig- inal registration fee is returned and you are given a deed to the land. This fifteen years to prove up on in- terest payment, however, can be ter- minated at any time by paying in- terest in full, less a discount of ten per cent and all previous interest payments. The total interest to be paid at the end of each year is only $72.00, and at the end of a few years the land is absolutely yours. Now, supposing you lived in a little town and you thought you could make a good living running a dry goods store or general store, but you had no money to put up. Supposing you went to your banker and he said: ‘‘ How much do you need? ‘‘I need $1200,’’ you would say. ‘‘AN right, I will give you the money.) Rew, as a banker, I am dealin for interest, so on this loan you will pay me $72.00 a year.’’ Now that would be a fine proposition and you could go into the store business and pay your interest and ;make money and a good living besides, But then, suppose your anker would say: ‘‘Now, John, after you have paid me the interest FRANKLIN AVENUE. TRADE CARNIVAL ‘BEGINS TOMORROW Merchants Provide 100,000 But- tons and $5000 Worth of Prizes for Customers. DIAMONDS TO GIVE AWAY Revival of Once Great Trade Thoroughfares Will Be at Height Saturday Night. “Button, button, who’s got the but- ton?” This will be the cry Saturday night at the Franklin Avenue Omprovement Association’s celebration which begins tomorrow and lasts all week. Thou- sands of persons will crowd the street from Broadway to High street looking into the now brilliantly lighted windows to see who has the lucky button. Some will get diamond rings or gold watches, others suits of clothes or overcoats and still others bedroom sets. “It will look like a reincarnation of the old days when this street was one of the main thoroughfares of the city,’’ said J. M. Michaels, president of the Iwo New Additions for fifteen years the principal will come due, and now I’ll tell you what I’ll do for you. I will forgive you that principal. In other words, just pay me interest on the money I loan vou at the rate of 6 per cent, the legal rate, and after a few years you will not have to pay me the principal at all.’’ ,Now that proposition you would eagerly accept. Trust Co. Buys Farm for You. What is the Midland Trust doing? It is buying a farm of forty acres for you at this opening—just, like loaning you $1200 to buy a stock of goods, and letting the loan run for fifteen years and then without taking another cent forgiving you the prin- cipal, they give you a clear deed to the land. Your land will make you money every year. For the first few years garden truck will pay you at least $3000 a year, while your fruits are maturing. After six years, if set in fruit, your land will be worth $1000 per acre, because it will be earning from $300 to $800 per acre. Thus the interest payments will really cost you nothing because your land will pay for everything, and instead of -depre- ciating will constantly increase in value. All farmers borrow money. If a man can’t get enough to buy a farm, he must rent. Even when a tenant has money he needs it to run his farm and so ean’t purchase the land. That is the reason why seven-tenths of the farms in the United States are operated by tenants. Now, by this plan of the Midland Trust Co., who believes in the tenant farmer and wants to back him, who believes in the wage-earner and wants to back him, who believes the city man should quit the slavery of a job and be a free man and work for himself, and does not believe in one ‘man working and another man taking the profit, you can get 40 acres for noth- ing, and at the end of fifteen years, paying a few dollars interest each vear, the land is yours absolutely. What You Can Make. Take out your pencil and figure what you can make on 40 acres of this ‘land that costs you nothing. Don’t consider, for a moment, any- thing but profit. Don’t think about the glorious climate, the sea breezes, the entrancing surroundings, the health, the life, the happiness, the prosperous neighbors, your own im- portance and dignity as an owner, not a tenant or job holder. Just think in terms of dollars and cents and you will see that this , 40-acre farm is the surest and safest money- making proposition ever received. Now, mind you, this is forty acres of land—enough to put out several groves of fruit trees, together with ten acres or so in garden truck thet begins paying right away, and with room, too, for your stock and a pleas- ant home and big lawn. You do not put all your eggs in one basket; you have several fine crops and all the land you need. So figure out for in other districts for water rights, yourself what you can make.

One hundred thousand buttons, each one bearing a number and the associa- tion’s slogan “It’s a saving to buy on Franklin avenue,” are in readiness, and starting tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock will be given with every purchase by all merchants along the street who are members of the organization and it would be hard to find one shop owner on the eight blocks who is not a mem- ber, ’ Worth of Prizes. Prizés valued at more than $5000 have been pledged by the various merchants and these will be on exhibition all week in the store windows. But not until Saturday will the numbers be put on them and then the scramble to see who holds the lucky buttons will com- mence. The street will be .decorated with bunting and American flags and the thousands of eager searchers will hunt for their numbers to the tunes of several brass bands hired for street parades. Eight strong arc lights have been in- stalled on each block and these will give light fer the gay throng which it Is expected will crowd the street until late Saturday night. As soon as anyone sees a number on one of the prizes that corresponds to the number on his button, whether it is fastened to a pocket knife or a ma- hogany dining room set, he can go in and claim hig prize and all he has to do is to show his button. 300 Persons Will Be Lucky. ‘We have more than 300 prizes,”’ said Michaels,”” and everybody will have a good chance to get one. The crowd is expected to be so great that Chief of Police Young has promised to give us extra police protection and also a de- tail of plain clothes men to keep the light fingered from getting other per- sons’ buttons. Buttons will be in de- mand, as anyone may draw a prize. To prevent any unfairness no merchant will know what numbers are to go on his prizes until Saturday morning. The purpose of this celebration is the re- juvenation of this section of Franklin avenue and to show that we can give better values for the money than can be gotten on other streets because we do not have to pay such high rents.” Object of the Association, The association’s slogan was written by Herbert Smith and was the prize winner in a contest in which there were more than 21,000 submitted. The pri- mary objects of the association, accord- ing to its president, is to improve that section of the busy thoroughfare in every way, to bring about the erection of modern buildings, pave the street with wood blocks, have it well lighted and to keep it very clean and sanitary, have the merchandise which has for years been exhibited on the sidewalks removed and a law passed to keep it removed. The members pledge to rep- resent goods honestly and give the cus- tomer doNar for dollar values. Practically every merchant on the street has pledged his support to make the celebration of the awakening a success. The officers of the associa- tion are: J. M. Michaels, president; Sam Goldman, vice-president; A. C. Niedringhaus, secretary; H. H. Rehme, treasurer. Executive Committee—Her. man Mauch, Louis Idler, Leo Landau, C.

“A Gentleman of Leisure,” the new comedy in which Douglas Fairbanks is a to star this season, was given its pre- miere New York production by William A. Brady at The Playhouse a few nights ago, being favorably received. As Rob- ert Edgar Willoughby Pitt, Fairbanks has the role of a reckless young chap, who, undertaking, to burglarize a Fifth avenue residence on a wager, encounters a real burglar with whom he becomes @ partner, this incident being the basis of @ series of novel adventures, having a happy ending.

LOUIS should ask for a seeing of at least a good majority of these new plays during the Season ‘now opening, justly insisting upon a fuller recognition from the The- atrical Syndicate and Independents Alike, than has been accorded thus far. «This insistence is warranted by the fact, now established by box-office sta- tics recently published in the New York Morning Telegraph, that this city Stands fourth in tmportance as a ‘“‘show town,” the scale of graded rank in this field being established by the ameunt of money spent annually for theatrical entertainment. New York, Chicago and Philadelphia alone lead St. Louis. Ac- g to the figures published, New .-ork theater-goers spend each year $12,- 670,000 at theater box offices; Chicago, Over $5,000,000; Philadelphia, upward of 8,000,000; St. Louis, $2,000,000; Washing- n, Pittsburg and Cincinnati, more than $1,0W,000; San Francisco, $1,250,000, with other cities, in their lesser degree, help- ing to make up a grand total of $28,000, - 000 spent for dramatic entertainment in the 10 leading cities of this country. Surely this showing entitles St. Louis to greater consideration than it has heretofore received from the powers that control the season's bookings of plays out of New York. Money talks—and $2,- 300,000 per annum is a good lot of money. All of which is earnestly referred to te attention of the Theatrical Sydi- ste and the Independents, controlling he affairs of the dramé in this country. ‘EW YORE is confidently expect- ing the present season to prove the most brilliant in the history ' the Metropolitan Opera Company-- @ more than a little of this brilliancy vould be reflected in the St. Louis en-

Legend of St. Elizabeth,’’ is to be per- formed in New York early in December, commenmiorating the centenary year of the great Hungarian pianist-composer’s birth. ‘ “ This notable p-esentation will be made by the MacDowell Ctranis, with the co-operation of the Philharmonic Society, under Kurt Ssnindler’s conduc- torship, and the deepest musical interest is felt in the fine undertaking. Unlike the Elizabeth of the story told = in Wagner's ‘“Tannhauser,’’ the central fig- ure of the Liszt orutorio is true to the character of its historic original, the Landgravine Elizabeth of Wartburg Castle, canonizeac by ~the Catholic church because of her saintly virtues. The oratorio’s first scene lepicts the young Eliszabeth’s arrival at che ancient Thuringian castle as ‘the betrothed bride of the Landgraf’s son Its s@ond scene reveals her as the lLandgravine, minis- tering to the poor in deeds demanding the greatest self-denial, and picturing also the beautiful legendary incident of the “Miracle of the. Roses.”’ In the third scene, bringing the Landgraf’s depart- ure for Palestine, are heard the majestic Gregorian “Chorus of Crusaders,”’ the magnificent score of the Crusaders’ March and the theme of an ancient Pilgrims’ Song supposed to date from the thirteenth century. The fourth gene tells of the death of the Land- graf in Palestine and the driving of BDlizabeth from the Wartburg by the Dowager Landgravine Sophia, cruel and ambitious. In the fifth scene, ending with her death after having given her last sustenance to the poor, is heard Elizabeth's Prayer, conceded to be one of the’finest of Liszt’s writings for 1 woman's voice. The sixth and last scene depicts the canonization of Eliz- abeth, with choruses of ecclesiastics, knights and the people. The leading roles in the New York performance of this oratorio will be taken by a group of the most famous soloists in America, and the chorus will be enlarged to vast proportions.

Ciimate Failed— Medicine Cured It has been absolutely shown that rest, fresh air, and good food do help many persons suffering from Tuberculosis. But, to be really honest, it must be admitted that the disease is seldom more than “arrested.” Something more is needed. Eckman’s Alterative is a medicine made for the cure of Tuberculosis. It has cured this disease again and again. Often tljese cures have been effected where the surroundings were not ideal, where no intelligent care’ was taken of the patient. where monef was scarce; good food and good cooking unusual— yet cures resulted. Now we argue and urge that Eckman’s Alterative, should be used in every case of Tuberculosis, In addition to good, nourishing food and fresh air. which we all need. The facte—the evidence of cures that have been made—are interesting read- ing.

In a pajama parade occupants of the Amelia Apartments, 5475 Vernon avenue left the place at 2 a. m. yes- terday after groping through dark halls to the entrance when an alarm of fire had been sounded. The confusion incident to getting out of the building in the dark and the difficulty of fighting the fire with- out electric light were due to the rutes of the building by which all electric lights are switched off at midnight. The fire was discovered in an apartment accupied by A. EK. T. Hoff- ae by Mrs. Hoffman's mane Mrs. Fannie Walker. She c who telephoned a fire alarm and then awakened others in.the building. The chief loss was in the Hoffman apart- ment where the damaip is estimated at $1000. The total damage is said to he abeut $2500, most ef which was caused by water. Mrs. Alexander Thompson, recent- ly returned from a hospital, escaped in her night robe and fainted on the lawn. L. W. and Thomas IL.
