2LINGH TERRIER SWALLOWS 10-INGH STEEL HAT PIR Unable :to Eat for Ten Days Be- fore Cause of Illness: Is Discovered.

They found out Wednesday; when Dr Shaffer took from the little dog’s stomach a blue steel hatpin, 10 inches long, which the animal had swal- lowed. The head, a plain black but- ton, was swallowed first. Gince he was placed in the hos- pital the dog had been unable to eat, and Wednesday. Nesseline agreed with Dr. Shaffer that it would be best to chloroform him. He resisted the chloroforming process in a way which showed that he still had much vitality left. Bo it was decided that he should live a few days longer. “I'd give $26 to have ton cured,”’ Nessleline announced as he left. The veterinarian renewed his effort to make the dog eat, and in doing so caught sight of something glistening in his throat. He seized a ferceps and drew out the long pin. The dog was only 20 inches long from the .tip of his ears to the end of his tail. From his throat to the end of his stomach was only the 10 inches nec- essary to accommodate the pin. Dr. Shaffer says he has found money, coal, jewelry, and in one case, a valuable diamond, in the stomachs of his canine patients. The Boston terrier is recovering, and will soon be sent to his owner’s home, 6240 Von Versen avenue.

Roslyn D. Whytock Entertains Samuel P. Jones While Latter Awaits Result of Habeas Corpus Proceedings for Child.

om 9 Roslyn D. Whytock of 2328E Athlone avenue, Captain-Adjutant of the First Regiment, N. G. M., is entertaining Samuel P. Jones of Bell Buckle, Tenn., who is on a short visit to St: Louis. This statement would properly find its way into the persona! notes but for the fact that Jones is an injured husband and Whytock a corespondent, named by Jones in the petition which. won him a divorce from Mrs. Irma Jones, now a department store model. They are in daily, almost hourly, con- ference, working together to effect a compromise in the habeas’ corpus ac- tion brought by ‘Jones to obtain cus- tody of his 56-year-old son, now at the home of the mother, at 3873 Botanical ayenue. The court ordered that Mrs. Jones’ answer be filed Thursday. Jones alleges his wife is not a preper person to care for the child. After the publication in the Post-Dis- patch Tuesday got portions of the tran- acript of evidence in the Jones divorce case, including letters written by Mrs. Jones and by Whytock, and obtained by Jones’ attorney, Alphonse Howe, for use in the habeas corpus action, Why- tock called in a Post-Dispatch reporter, saying he had additional information to give out. When the reporter arrived he found Whytock busily pounding a typewriter. By his side sat a coatless young man whom Whytock hastened to introduce. Jones, Bars Sentiment. “This,” he said, rising, “is Mr. Jenes, the irate husband, the man who was said to have come here seeking revenge. You can see for yourself we are here together. We are friends. Sam came here a week ago and we have been working togéther ever since to compro- mise this case.

At the last minute he advised her to change at- terneys and fight the case.” “Yea,” said Jemea, up everything. “Why, I even offered to pay the boy’s beard in the vacation period while my divorced wife would have him.

Beatie’s seats Attacked, The last testimony brought forward by the prosecution was for the purpose of further weakening the accused man’s story. C. H. Oliver, who said he was familiar with the construction of automobiles, contradicted the statements of automo- bile experts that the Beattie car, by its construction, was impervious to the dripping of blood through it to the ground, except in two places, where blood was not vi-ible. R, P. Alport, an automobile expert, who examined the Beattie car, cor- roborated Oliver’s statement. Alport also declated that the steering gear of the Beattie car was such that it could not be driven with one hand at 40 or 60 miles an hour, as the ac- cused man testified. Paul’s Wife Testifies. rane Mrs. Paul Beattie then took the stand. “Do you remember Paul being brought home in an automobile at any time during the week preceding the murder?” “Yes, about 9: 30 o’clock on Thurs- day night.” “Who was with him?” “As near as I can tell, a young man.” “Do you know who he was?” “*No,’”’ “He got out of the machine and fixed the front lights.

Roy Lassiter, who came from a dance at Bon Air with other boys on the Mid- lothian turnpike, declared on the witness ‘stand that the car he saw in the road with the man in front and the woman on the running board was not the car of Charles H.

A witness for the defense had de- clared that Paul bought the gun at a pawnshop in the morning, whereas his own story was that he purchased it in the evening. Dr. P. H.

This was intended to refute the testimony of the defense that Pau) was faking at the time. Brother of Dead Woman, Henry B. Owen, a brother of the dead woman, Was next on the stand. “Mr. Henry C.

Photographs Seem to Bear Out His Rapturous Description of Fourth Affinity. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 6—The newest Mrs. Ferdinand Pinney Earle was Dorothea ™'hart Stewart, according ‘o the last letter from Artist Earle on the subject, which came a few days ago {with the pictures of bride No. 3 and affinity No. 4. The Earles are in Na- ples now. The pictures of the third Mrs. Earle seem to bear out the rapturous de- scription Earle sent back at the time of the wedding. “She has laughing brown eyes, a soft English complexion, and is just 21,”. he wrote. She is thoroughly English. Her immediate predecessor, Mrs. Julia Kutt- ner Earle, was°American, and the first Mrs. Earle was French. There was also a Chicago woman, Gertrude Buell Dunn, who. had becn tempered by a residence in Paris, whom Karle thought was another affinity, in the period between the casting off of the second Mrs. Earle and the annexa- tion of the Iast. But Earle discovered that the American-French combination would not suit. The present Mrs. Earle is the daugh- ter of an architect at Wokingham, Berkshire, England. Earle met nw when he was wandering in Surrey. When their eyes met their souls rushed together, he has told friends. The mar- riage took place by special license the last of June. They went to a quaint eld inn for the first half of the hone7- moon, then to Holland and Germany, and next wandered down to Switzer- lai.d4 and into Italy. MINISTER OF PANAMA IS MARRIED BY PROXY Bride Will Join Bridegroom Who Is Too Busy to Leave Washington, NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.—Although Dr. Belisario Porras, Minister of Pan- ama te the United States, has been too busy to leave Washington, he was mar- ried last week at San Jose, Costa Rica, to a member of a prominent Costa Rica family, according to advices received here from Colon. The wedding was by proxy, which is sanctioned by the Gov- ernment, although rarely resorted to in the Latin-Americas. Senora Porras is expected to sail soon to join her husband in Washington, Wireless to Cover Ocean. ST. JOHNS, N.

Europe and America to keep in constant and di- rect communication with land have been formulated by Inventor Marconi, who has been conducting experiments here. Afierward I saw them in the dining room alone.” Ti was at’ this meeting that Paul had testified as to the alleged confession by Henry while the accused man testi- fied that he was not alone with Paul that night on the veranda. “After the baby was born, do you re- member any occasion when the prisoner kissed his’ wife?” “Yes. On one occasion.” “When was that?” “Two weeks before her death.” This closed the testimony with the Commonwealth at 6:10 p. m., resting its evidence in rebuttal and the de- fense. likewise announced it had closed.

SENATOR BAILEY QUITS TO PRACTICE LAW IN NEW YORK Texan Announces He Will Not Be Candidate When His Term Expires. POLITICAL ._POWER WANES Oil Company Scandals in 1906 Started Relentless Fight in Own State. ‘GAINESVILLE, Tex., Sept. 6.—United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey today confirmed the annoyncement made last night that he would not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Sen- ate. His term will expire March 3, 1913. It is said Senator Bailey will go to New York City to practice law after his term in the Senate expires. WAR-ON BAILEY STARTED IN 1906 Coanection With Oi] Company Started Texan’s Political Power Into Decline. A bitter fight has been waged since 1906 in Texas against Senator Joseph W. Bailey of that State, as a result of which he narrowly escaped defeat at the last election. His opponents im- mediately reorganized, with the pur- pose of preventing his going to the Senate again, and have since been un- remitting in attacks upon him, The fight against Bailey grew out of disclosures by H. Clay Pierce, made in St. Louls in 1906, to the effect that Bailey was retained to secure the re- admission of the Waters Pierce Oil Co. into Texas after it had been oust- ed because it was alleged to be a branch of Standard Oil. Bailey admitted the receipt of large fees in connection with this work, but claimed he was acting in his private capacity as an attorney, and that the Waters Pierce Oil Co. had no connec- tion with Standard Oil. A document was produced, how- ever, proving that Bailey was not alone in communication with the Waters Pierce Oil Co., but with Stand- ard Oil itself at its headquarters, 26 Broadway, New York. This was a letter from John .D. Archbold, execu- tive head of Standard Oil, to Con- gressman John C, Sibley asking the latter to see Bailey and arrange for a conference in New York. This, it was claimed, placed the whole case in the same class as that of Senator Foraker of Ohio, whose connection with Standard Ofl cost him his seat in the Senate, Bailey was prominently mentioned as a candidate for the presidency be- fore the scandal arose. The fight against him in Texas since he was re- elected in February, 1907, has not disclosed anything material not hith- erto brought out, but is “believed to have made the chance of his being again elected more difficult. NEW STRIKE THREAT ON ILLINOIS CENTRAL President’s Refusal to Recognize Officers of Unions Met With Another Letter. CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Instead of order- ing the Federated shop employes of the Illinois Central Railroad to strike, rep- resentatives of the nine international or- ganizations involved, decided to send @ reply to the letter in which C. H. Mark- ham, president of the road, flatly re- fused to recognize the officers of the system federation. The reply was signed by W. F. Kra- mer, secretary of the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths. and Help- ers; to whom President Markham ad- dressed his definite communication yes- terday. In the letter the international officers, through Kramer, who acted as chairman of the International Committee, took issue with President Markham, in his claim that the unions failed to com- ply with the 30-day notice clause of changes desired in working Conditions. The communication also contained an- other strike threat, concluding as fol- lows: “Until equality is veosgniacd, justice cannot manifest itself, and should your attitude be persisted in, such trouble as may result will not be the union’s desire, but the seeking of yourself and those whose interests you represent. There are too many men teaching de- tails of conduct, who do not even under- stand first principles.” SUITS AGAINST RAILROAD Charged With Violation of Live- stock Law. Four suits were filed In the Federal Court Wednesday by United States Dis- trict Attorney Houts charging the Wa- bash and Iron Mountain railroads with vielatin gthe 23-hour law concerning the care of livestock in transit. A penalty of $500 is asked in each case. It is alleged that the railroads allowed the stock to‘remain on the cars with- out water or food for more than twenty- eight hours. John LL.

Louis hotels to see if they can find the name of J. B. Brice entered on or about that date. J. B. Brice is alleged to be an alias assumed by J. B.

Have McNamara’s Picture. In their search for witnesses the de- tectives are carrying a large photo- graph of McNamara, which was sent here by J. D. Fredericks, District At- torney of Los Angeles, who is in charge of the McNamara prosecution. The local investigation is being con- ducted with the utmost secrecy, the de- tectives seeking evidence even denying that they are at work on the case. Chief Young received a communication from District Attorney Fredericks Tues- day night, enclosing the photograph of McNamara, and immediately after Chief of Detectives Allender assigned men to the case. A few days after the arrest of Mc- Namara the Burns Detective Agency gave out a list of bridges and other steel structures in various parts of the United States which has been wrecked with explosives, presumably as the re- sult of labor trouble. The Eighteenth street viaduct in this city was men- tioned. Man Seen Runmzing Away. At the time or the viaduct explo- sion the police found three men who said they had seen a man running away from the spot where the dynamite was discharged. The blast had been set off in a hole which had been drilled in one of the stone foundations of the viaduct. The witnesses were able to only give a general description of the suspects.

There was a short and awkward pause. Jones spoke first. Facing Whytock and pointing his finger at him he said: “In dealing with this fellow I always keep in mind what an old judge down in Tennessee once sai@ in deciding a case. He quoted the Bible and said: ‘He that is without sin, let him cast the first stone.’” “Well, I know I’m in for it,” said Whytock. “It will look to lots of people like I’ve been caught with the goods on. I don’t know where I get off in thig thing, but if there is any reparation to make I am going to do it by helping Sam get his boy.” At the close of the interview Why- tock and Jones shook hands and agreed to meet later in the day and have another conference on _ their compro- mae. plan.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—Actors are complaining that the difficulty of obtaining employment this season is greater than it has been for a good many years. There are today many well-known actors idle at what is usually the most active period of the theatrical year—actors whose _ ser- vices have been in demand and who have seld6ém been without engage- ments by Labor day. Others who have signed contracts and are awaiting delayed calls for rehearsals are in the same situation as those without engagements of any sort. The engagement agencies bear out the complaints of the actors. Their offices are overrun with applicants for places—they usually are, for that matter—and some players are ask- ing for and accepting places much lower than those to which they have been accustomed, The cause seems to be the tendency on the part of producing managers this year to hold back on the produc- tion of new plays until they have been able to feel the trend of theat- rical business. Managers who hereto- fore have had half a dozen new plays before the public, or in the course of preparation by thig time, are post- poning their productions this year. One firm that announced some 30 new pieces for production has put only two of them in rehearsal] so far, although ft is preparing to start oth- ers soon. Another firm that had three new plays running in New York on Labor day last year has only one this year, and only one new com- pany in rehearsal. Of the Broadway theaters that housed first-class plays at this time last season, seven of them are closed or are playing motion pictures. Only two new theaters, excluding the Win- ter Garden and the Follies Bergere, have been added to the list of last year. Last year 15 of the Labor day attractiong were new plays: this year there are only nine that can be con- sidered new productions. All this means that there is less for the actors to do, for while there may be the usual number of road productions to fill the out-of-town theaters, Broad- way productions may be considered a measure of the managers’ activities. It would seem, however, that productions for ‘‘the road” are proportionately fewer so far this year. At least, the big producing managers are sending out fewer companies. On the other hand, according to some of the engagement agencies, there will be more than the usuai number of what might be termed one-company managers this season. Men with just enough money to equip and send out one com- pany are venturing into the fieldj and are taking charge of plays that have outrun their big city usefulness, but that are still “‘good for the one-night stands.’”’ The big producers generally are adopt- ing the policy of “farming out’ plays of this sort to eliminate from their offices the clerical and managerial work attached to “‘one-night stand” business. The one company manager, therefore, is able to rent good theatrical properties, and, of course, to give employment to many actors. Many of these actors, however, belong to the seemingly unlimited supply of players who are not in demand for New York productions. For the latter the Broadway popularity of an actor, com- bined, of course, with his ability, makes him in demand, and when there are few Broadway productions under way the demand falls off. There are plenty of announcements made of future productions, however, and the managers who are not so active as usual now, may make up for their slackness later in the season. Those closely connected with the theatrical business look on the delays in preduc- tions as a healthy sign. They think that by holding off until a safe guess at business conditions in general can be made, the managers will have less chance of failures due to unseasonable productions, and will also be able to prepare their plays with greater care, The number of productions a manager makes in a season, they say, is of less consequence than the number of weeks the companies play to profitable busi- ness. But the actors who are not so for- tunate as to be in the few early produc- tions don’t like the idea of having to wait a month or so longer than they expected before the first salary day comes around. They all want to be at work at the beginning of the season, and the season is supposed to be really under way on Labor day. C. NIEHAUS’ BODY FOUND Is Taken From River at Foot of Clark Avenue.

Fisse was filed in the Circuit Court Wednesday by Mre Mary Estelle Peters Reed, Mary E. Hofmeister Harris and Edward Pe- ters. The suit seeks to. recover $11,047 from the estate for money alleged to heve been in Fisgse’s possession a8 a trust fund as executor of the estate of Johanna Peters, grandmother of Mrs. Reed. The allegation is made that Fisse, for several years, had used the money in the trust fund to pay his household ex- penses, and made many checks for the money to his wife and daughters for liv- ing expenses. The petition states that Mrs. Fisse and her daughters either knew or ought to have known that Fisse was using this trust fund to pay his living.expenses. A judgment for the amount alleged to be due is asked, and that it be declared a lien against Fisse’s estate. MAN WHO PREDICTED DEATH WAS SUICIDE Thomas A. Parker Drank Acid Coroner Declares at Inquest. Thomas H. Parker, whose death follewed his declaration that he had had a premonition of death, killed himself by swallowing carbolic acid, according to a coroner’s verdict re- turned Wednesday. Members of his family had said they supposed that he died from heart disease. Parker, who lived at 2413 Biddle atreet, was visiting Monday evening at the home of his brother, E. C. Par- ker 1129 St. Ange avenue. He asked his wife whether she believed in pre- monitions, then tolq ber he had a pra- monition that he would die before morning. He went to a picture show with hig wife and his brother, and return- ing to his brother’s retired. His wife awoke and found him gasping at 3:25 a. m., Tuesday, and within a few minutes he died. A post mortem examination Wednes- day, which showed traces of i in his stomach, led to the verdici cide. It was found that he had letters Monday to relatives, telling them that he was about to die. UNMUZZLED DOGS City Marshal Stops Seizures After Justice of Peace Rules in Test Case. City Marshal Weinbrenner announced Wednesday that he would make no fur- ther attempt to carry out instructions from the Health Department to seize all unmuzzled dogs. Weinbrenner’s decision is because of the uncertain attitude of a justice of the peace on a test case brought against him. One of the first dogs seized was an animal belonging to Norbert Zeis, pro- prietor of the St. Louis Kennels, 3718 Tholozan street. Zeis brought a repilevin suit in Justice Pfeffle’s Court. Pfeffle Tuesday decided that he had no juris- diction, and threw the case out of court. This left the dog in the hands of Con- stable Dutzi. As Zeis had given a $10w Pbond in the replevin suit, Dutzi turned the dog over to him, The Health De- partment was acting on an opinion from City Counselor Walther, who said all unmuzzled dogs could be legally seized and held by the City Marshal.

HE NEGLECTED HER Lived Together Only a Month After Wedding Last ~ February. Mrs. Amy Mosberger, a stenographer, in a divorce suit filed Wednesday, makes seven allegations against her husband and 10 against her mother-in-law. The husband is William A. Mosberger, an artist, of 4237 Cottage avenue. He lives with his mother. He married Miss Amy Miller Feb. 7 last and took her to his mother’s home. The bride remained —— two days more than a month and e Mrs. Mosberger, the bride, says in her divorce petition that three days after the wedding she asked her hus- band to send for her trunk, contain- ing her clothes, but that he refused to do so, telling her that he didn't expect to live with her very long. She says he paid little attention to her and that when she talked he looked at the floor with a contempt- uous scowl on his face, Indicating to her that he didn’t consider her worth noticing. He also permitted his mother to treat her as a servant, she alleges. Charges Against Mother-in-Law. The charges against the mother-in- law begin with the statement that she opened ang read mail addressed to her son’s wife, opened parcels and packages, that she didn’t knock at the daughter-in-law’s door before en- tering and frequently ordered her to stop talking. The question of clothes was a frequent cause of dissension between the women, the mother-in-law making disparaging remarks about the younger woman's taste. Once at a dinner party the mioth- er-in-law is said to have declared that all the buttons were off the daughter- in-law’s dress. The mother-in-law is alleged to have made inquiries about the income of the bride’s parents, and then to have de- clared that all her relatives were lazy. During the month they lived inthe same house, the mother-in-law is safia@ to have often walked the floor, moaning: “Poor Willie, poor Willie.” Willie was her favorite name for her son. The petition says she “réfised’ to explain’ the reasons for ner lamenta- tions.” At menin’ te dee Moats. says, the elder woman would pass food to her son but would ignore the daughter-in- law. On one occasion the only fire in:the house was in the kitchen stove. ‘Xxhe petition says that by. her sneers and ridicule the elder woman drove the younger from the kitchen to her bed- room, where she contracted a severe cold. She is also said to have ridiculed the wedding presents sent by friends and relatives of the bride. The petition here leaves the mother- in-law and returns to the ‘husband. Once, Mrs. Mosberger says, she asked bor husband if she wasn't fis little sweetheart any more. It took him some time to decide, she says, and then he re- phed that she was not.\ She says that vken she asked him to explain his con- duct, he told her he had conscientious scruples against living with her, and that she “could go to court and wash it out.” She asks for a divorce, alimony and the restoration of her maiden name.

JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 6—The Board of Permanent Seat of Governnient will meet here Friday to take the first steps in the matter of issuing bonds and to appoint four commissioners who will have general charge of letting of the contracts for the new capftol. Governor Hadley is inclined te the belief that it would be best to only issue a part of the $3,500,000 of bonds at tuis time and postpone the issue of the bulk of them until such time as a constitu- tional amendment can be sub&iméted to a vote of the people exempting all State, county and municipal bonds, or any sub- division thereof, from taxation when the same are issued for public purposes. This is a matter, however, that hag not been discussed by the board yet. And Perhaps a Fifth May Join Contest for James Gordon Bennett Cup. =

The Rev. C. A. Lenhoff, retiring pre- siding elder of this district, arrived here | today for a conference. He was mat by the official board of the Clarence church. Oscar Callison was not at tha depot or at the meeting held later in the church. Callison left the bank soon after the presiding elder reached Clarence ané the minister called on him at his home. Soon after this the Rev. Mr. Lenhotf departed in an automobile for Macon. Both he and Callison declined to make a statement. “God knows my penitence,’’ was the only explanation in Johnson's message to the Missouri Methodist conference, in session two days ago at Columbia, In a letter to Presiding Elder Lehn- hoff at Macon, he wrote: “I have not been guilty of immorality, but I nave been guilty of injudicious conduct through correspondence.” It became known here today that Pas- tor Johnson’s “injudicious” letter was written to a young ‘voman who had shown marked admiration for him, and had been a frequent caller at his home. No Threat in Letter. This letter was found by the young : woman’s sister, and was shown by her to Oscar Callison. He is a member of a wealthy family, and an official in Johnson's church, and he wrote the minister a letter. Callison’s letter, ac- cording to the minister’s friends, con- vinced him that it was not safe for him to remain in Clarence. It was, reported today that the letter tcld the minister he was in danger of being shot if he remained here. Calii- son today denied that any such threat was contained in the letter. “It was written in a friendly spirit, and for Mr. Johnson’s good,” said Cal- lisen. “‘He can return to Clarence with- out any fear of 1arm from me, and he can make public my letter if he sees ont” Pastor Johnson is said to be in Iowa.

Sbecial to the Post-Dispatch. ‘BEVERLEY, Mass., Sept. 6.—Friends and political advisers of President Taft have nearly completed their work to bring about the renomination of the President at the next Republican na- tional convention. So nearly finished do they consider their efforts that they already count the President renominat- ed and are planning for his re-election. “Their efforts between now and Jan.

The Legislation Committee will meet in the office of President Reber of the Board of Public Improvements Friday afternoon to examine maps and plates of the East Side. ‘At the request of President Reber this conference will be executive. The committee wil! visit East St. Louis Saturday morning to traverse and inspect the site already fixed for the railroad approach and thé route ad- vocated by friends of the free bridge. At the hearing conducted by the Leg- islation Committee in the House of Dele- gates, Tuesday, on bills to establish a commiséion and to formulate rules and regulations for the use of the bridge, Speaker Lawton, who sat with the com- mittee, enlivened the proceedings by a “spat” with Delegate Hale, a tilt with Frank H. Gerhart, and finally by a de- nunciation of persons “‘who come here with dirty collars and not a cent in their pockets to tell how the city should be run.” Lawton’s interference with speakers at the hearing provoked Delegate Hale to request of Chairman Eilers that he be excluded. ‘He has no business here; he’s not a member of the committee,’’ Hale de- clared. pro- by Appeared ag an Citizen “Iam here as a Citizen and I pro- pose to stop this talk about fighting the free bridge,”’ Lawton replied.

The approach was deflected to the south and away from the section of East St. Louis touched by most of the Eastern lines, President Reber said, for economry’s sake.-- In response to an interrogation from Gerhart President. Reber. subsequently said that if another approach would prove more advantageous the difference of a few. thousand dollars in the cost of construction should not be con- sidered. Feeling their strength in the House members of the Kiel faction, sup- ported by independents like BEilers rand Igoe, succeeded Tuesday night in withdrawing from the Ways and Means Committee the bill to locate another eastern railroad approach to the bridge. Chairman Oviatt of the Ways and Means Committee is the “administra- tion’s” representative in the House of Delegates. He protested loudly against the withdrawal, contending that it contemplated an appropriation and had been properly referred to his committee. When the bill was read it was found that it provided for no expendituré, but merely fixed the lines of the proposed approach. It was then declared to be a purely leg- islative measure and was sent to Eilers’ committee. Kreismann Men Anxious. Members of the Kreissmann faction in the city hall afte fearful of an in- vestigation of the bridge by the House .of Deelgates. They assert that it would be a political trick designed to gain sympathy for Chairman Kiel and his followers and that it probably. would result in the defeat of the sup- plemental bond issue of $2,500,000. OVER HEDGE: ONE. SUES FOR $5000 Mrs. Grob Declares That Mrs. Frazier Called Her Vile Names. A hedge fence forming the dividing line between two North St. Louts homes has caused a quarrel between next-door women neighbors that the courts will have to pass judgment on. The con- troversy has reached the Circuit Court by the filing of a sult for $5000 alleging slander based on remarks exchanged by the women across the fence. In her suit filed Tuesday Mrs. Katie BE. Grob charges that Mrs. Jennie Fra- zier called her vile names, threatened on her character. She asks $5000 dam- ages. Mrs. Grob, who is the wife of Charlies A. Grob, lives at 4714 Leduc street. Mrs. Frazier, wife of Jonn T. Frazier, lives next door at 4/18 Leduc street. Each has a nice hume, with well-kept yards and lawn. Hedge Fence Separates Yards. A pretty hedge fence separates the residences. It has been there severa) years and the neighbors heretofore divided the work of keeping the fence in order and were good friends. The sleet of last winter’ froze the hedge until it had to be cut short thig spring. The cutting of the hedge apparently had the effect of cutting the friendship of the neighbors. The hedge began to grow early in the spring and needed trimming. On June 12, Mrs. Grob employed a man to trim the hedge. He made a good job of it, but allowed some of the trimmings to fall into the yard of Mrs. Frazier. Mrs. Frazier found fault with the man because her yard was littered with clippings from the fence. Mrs. Grob later picked up the pieces and believed she had diplomatically pre- vented a quarrel, The Trouble Begins. On Aug. 14 the hedge fence needed another trimming. Again Mrs. Grob employed a man to make the neces- sary improvement. Again the man allowed the cuttings to fall into the Frazier yard. The hired man took a basket and went into the Frazier yard to pick up the cuttings. From this point the stories of the women differ. This is what happened, according to Mrs. Grob’s statement to a Post-Dis- patch reporter Wednesday: “The man had no sooner gone into the Frazier yard with his basket than Mrs. Frazier appeared on her porch with a revolver and ordered the man from the yard. She talked loudly ani threatened to shoot him if he did not leave. I went out to see what was the matter, “Mrs. Frazier pointed thes soothe my wey and thréatened to shoot me, She then called me vile naine’s atid midde sev- eral remarks reflecting on my charac- ter I went into the house and told the man to leave the cuttings . where they were.” Mrs. Frazier dex og that she called Mrs. Grob vile nargggsor that she made statements derogat@ry to Mrs. Frazier. She said she objeeteg to the clippings from the hedge being left in her yard every time the fence was trimmed. She says she will produce evidence at the trial to refute Mrs. Grob’s allegations. ss

HEY’VE hung Bill Jones for T a crime of his, An’ his wife and his mother are a-dyin’; An’ his children, they’re where the orphans is— An’ the cold wind’'s a-walilin’ and a-cryin’. ‘The poem was printed’in one of my earlier volumes in ‘The Songs of the Soil,’’’ said Stanton. “It was not about a legal hanging, but told the story of a lynching in the South. The poem was written so long ago that I have forgotten all but the two verses I give you.” The poem was widely copied in England at that time and was com- mented upon at length.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 6.—Affected by reading the newspaper poem “They've hanged Bill Jones,” by Frank L.. Stanton of the Atlanta’ Constitution, Gov. West saved Jesse P. Webb from the gallows by com- muting his sentence to life imprison- ment. The Governor of his own mo- tive chose to exercise clemency, al- though Webb’s daughter, 18 years old, had pleaded with the Governur for months to give her her father’s lifq and has striven in every way to save him. The announcement that Webb would not be hanged was made most theat- rically, under the stage management of the Warden of the State penitentiary. Webb was convicted of murdering Wil- liam A. Johnson, whose body was found in a trunk in the Union Passenger Sta- tion here. Noon yesterday was the time fixed for his execution. Five’ minutes before I2 all the convicts dered te stand at the head of the long central. table. The corhmutation of his pentenoe: as proclaimed, discipline dis- appeared, cheers for Gov. West echoed ‘from thé walls and reverberated down the corridors. At Webb’s hand on | he table lay a square box. “Open that box,” dered. Webb did. In the box was the hang- man’s rope, cut in small pieces. As the convicts filed past them Webb’s daugh- ter gave to each of them a piece of the rope as a souvenir, perhaps as a warn- ing, too. From a gallery Webb’s wife looked smilingly down. She says she loves him the Warden or- in the penitentiary were marched into the main dining room and Webb was or- as much as ever, despite the fact that Mrs. Carrie Tirsh was proven to be Webb’s intimate and is serving 16 years minutes Miss Webb's feelings her and she fainted.

Offers have been sent to the men to appear in St. Louis for 10 rounds. Walsh had written to the Mo- zart Society asking for a bout and i, is thought that Dixon will accept the terms offered. Dixon is at present en route to New Orleans, where he will meet Monte At- tell in a-fight on Sept. 11. Dixon ‘is counted one of the most promising featherweights in the country, while Walsh has for a number of years been rated at the top in the bantamweignt and featherweight divisions and now claims the bantamweight championship along with Johnny Coulon of Chicago, Walsh Has Good Record. Walsh his made several trips to En- gland and defeated Digger Stanley and other good men. Six years ago Walsh was matched Yor a bout with Monte Attell to take place at the old West End Coliseum, under the auspices of 2 new club that had been organized :n opposition to Charley Haughton’s West End Club. vented from taking place by the police and led to the shutting down of the game in St. Louis. Harry Sharpe will referee the bouts at the next show of the Mozart So- ciety. Harry Cook of the Business Men’s Gymnasium will continue as matchmaker. It was not thought prop- er that Cook as matchmaker should continue as referee. The club officers are confident that there will be no interference if they lengthen their main event to 10 rounds. No decision will be given and the bout will, therefore, be nothing more than an exhibition. between two well-known out-of-town men, the society will book a _ seml- windup between two of the best boys in St. Louis. The society now has over 1300 members and can afford to put n much better shows than it started out with. DIXIE IV MAY SHOW IN RACES ON RIVER Members of the Carondelet Motor Boat Club, up to Tuesday night, had raised $1000 prize money for their regatta to be held on the Mississippi River Sept. 30—Oct. 1. Secretary Jack Hass of the Carondelet club, says that if the organization is able to obtain $2009 prize money the Dixie IV of New York, world’s champion speed boat, will’ be shipped to St. Lours for the races. Fourteen of the fastest boats in the west have already been entered for the races. Besides Hugo Lippert’s Missourl | Hil, they are the Regal Tiger of Peoria, Ill, Pronto III of Peoria, Ill., Leading Lady of Galena, Ill, and flyers from the Burlington and other Iowa towns. The Sand Burr II of Atlantic City, N. J., holder of the world’s record for 20- footers, will also start. The Disturber of Chicago, which almost sank in the races in the East, Tuesday, will also compete in the local races if the boat can be repaired in time. OLIVER KIRK WANTS TO RE-ENTER GAME Oliver Kirk, one of the best ama- teur boxers ever developed in St. Louis, plans to re-enter the fighting game this winter. Kirk has been out of the sport for almost two seasons, but is eager to get on in the tourna- ments to be held at the Missouri Ath- letic Club and South Broadway A. C. in the coming campaign. It Is also probable that he may join the ranks of the professionals now that the game has been reopened in St. Louis, Kirk is also acting in the capacity of handler for a featherweight named Billy Murphy. On behalf of Murphy, he would like to arrange a match with Jimmy Walsh, the Boston boxer, who has written the members of the Mozart Club for a bout. Kirk can be reached at 809 Century Building. PIRATES TO TRAIN AFTER SERIES HERE PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 6—The Pi- rates will establish a precedent in ma- jor league history by having a mid- training season. Discouraged by the fa‘lure of his team to gain ground on the Cubs and the Giants, Manager Fred Clarke will take the whole crew to West Baden, Ind., from St. Louis on Sept. 10. They will remain there for two full days and partake of the waters and in- dulge in daily exercise and early morn- ing walks. Presifent Dreyfuss suggesiel this as

HELLO BILL, WAAT Do You THINK ABouT THE WRESTLING Game?

“THEY LIKE IT,” BARNUM SAID... dé N EVER again,’’ was the motif to the dirge wailed by the pub- lic the morning after’ the Gotch-Hackenschmidt “never again’ they match. Yes, shout every time they are stung—which is not infrequent- ly. But it’s a banquet against a cold biscuit that they will be right back at the box office the next show that’s ad- vertised, ready to give away another meal ticket. | brought out during the contest one of the really humorous things was the announcement of the Chief of Po- lice that he would stop the bout at the first sign of brutality. It is quite cer- tain that none of the ladies present was in the least offended by the blood thirstiness of the contest. * * * “DON’T HURT ME,” CRIED HACK. HE announcement that Hack of- 7 fered to post $5000 for another match with Gotch is a rhys- ical impossibility. Hack can not yet have recovered breath enough to make any announcement. He won’t stop running until he hits the shore line, Hackenschmidt very palpably wants none of Gotch’s game. He is apparently @ man without spirit or pride, or he It’s TIME TO LAUGH. N the light of the tame developments plea he made in the ring when Gotch threw the leverage on his bad leg. * 7” a E a “fake.” It was not, for the reason that Gotch was not a party to anything that came off, and was in deadly earnest from the start. It is unfortunate for the champion that the affair turned out as it did, for it detracts from the credit that would otherwise be coming to the Iowan. The guiltiness of the affair belongs to the promoters, who had knowledge of Hackenschmidt’s real shape for several days and who not on'y induced the Rus- sian. to conceal the fact, Sut did every- thing possible to prevent the information being acquired by outsiders. The misrepresentation induced many persons to come hundreds of miles to NOT GOTCH’S FAULT. VERYONE asks if the contest was must have been certain beforehand in the minds of those who handled Hack- enschmidt * ALL UP TO CURLEY. O this crime the gentleman who had a contract with Hack was ™ certainly an accessory before the fact. He is Jack Curley, secretary of the Empire Athletic Club. In this con- nection it may be interesting to recall that Curley’s ead of the match was a)- most $30,000. Hack got $13,500, and even the winner took down but $21,000.

BAD MAN TO FOOL WITH. OME time “Tham” Langford is g0- S ing to play around the fire until he gets burned. The fire in the matter is supplied by that Joe Jeanette “tar baby” in a match Tuesday night at New York. The men have fought seven or eight times already. To date Langford has had the better of all en- gagements, but presently this tough bit of humanity, Jeanette, will slip the finishing thing across on Langford. Sam has tried to stop Jeanette over several routes of varying lengths. He almost always started out well against his dark rival, but always at the .end there is this Joseph person leaning ,!n for more. Sa-n might as well make up his mind right now to never go the derby distance against Jeanette. LIKES THE DERBY ROUTE. EANETTE is the boy for the 50- J round course. Tough as an oak knot, game all the way through, his matches so far show that the longer his opponent stays in the ring with him the worse it is going to be for him. He took 50 rounds to dis- pose of McVey, in Paris, but he was strong at the finish and apparently better than at the start of the con- test when his opponent was all through. , Some day Langford is going to take the pitcher to the well too often and get it smashed. He'll do well to make sure of the loser’s end of a match with Jack Johnson, before he ruins his reputation against Jean- ette. America’s luck seems to be still with it. Gotch’s title was cinched through an injury to Hack. And Tuesday the Dixie IV, for the second time, retained the Harmsworth trophy, emblematic of the world’s speed boat championship, through an injury to its rival, _ the Pioneer.

For the ‘‘Russian Lion’’ takes to flight Before the ‘‘Lamb” in ignominious fright, Like some jack-rabbit by the hounds hard pressed, Nor tarries long enough to say: ‘‘Good night!’’ Once more the dear old public holds the sack And fills it with simoleons for ‘Hack.’ As it was in the beginning, so we fear It ever shall be to the end, Alack! How eagerly we scan the daily news With fine digcriminating eye, to choose The one we think is going to win the match; And then, per contra, whom we think will lose. Our money down, the dope all figured out. We cough up twenty bucks to see the bout: ‘Twill be th® grandest contest ever pulled Beyond the faintest shadow of a doubt.

Second Frawley Law Bout Much Better Handled Than Brown- Wells Fiasco. NEW YORK, Sept. 6—With the box- ing situation at sixes and sevens through the unexpected and unexplained resignation of James E. Sullivan from the chairmanship of the new commis- sion, a championship fight was given in Madison Square Garden last night that went far toward showing that the new Frawley bill, properly applied, is a guarantee of law, good sport and proper administration. Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette fought 10 savage rounds to a draw, with the more particular critics giving the shade ‘to Langford. There were 7000 persons in the amphitheater and $20,000 was paid for admittance. Five thousand persons were crowded outside the building when the negroes came together at 10 o’clock. In a way the match was something of a disappointment to ‘those who had looked to Langford to make short work of his husky but less clever opponent. Sam has come in for so much favor- able notice of late and has been her- alded as a man with a great chance to take the measure of Jack Johnson if they ever meet that many looked to him to dispose of his opponent. But the dusky gentleman from Hoboken was there with everything and it was only the shade that Langford was entitled to at the end. The men have fought seven times and on almost every occasion Langford has seemed to own the edge. Last night, however, Jeanette landed hard and oft- en. Both men were soundly punished and the contest was a fight all the way. Many now believe that the wonderful endurance Jeanette possesses will bring him through victor over Sam if they ever go to war for @ %-round engage- ment. TENPINNERS BEGIN CAMPAIGN THURSDAY rongest scratch tenpin league siaumael in St. Louis in the history of the game will start the ball roll- ing Thursday night with six matches on the De —e Pine and six on the ton alleys. - uid og is considerable interest in the tilt between the St. Clairs and Metalics which will take place on the Washington alleys. The St. Clairs are composed of the best bowlers on the Bast Side. including Phil Lauff of Granite City. The Union Sodas vs. Budweisers, and Duffys vs. Burkes are other matches scheduled for the Washington alleys. The Stifels op- pose the Millers, the Hyde Parks roll against the Washington No. 2, and the Washington No. 1 meets the Schlenks in the matches on the De Soto Pine alleys. ys DIAMOND GLINTS The Giants not only have a three-game lead over the Cubs, their nearest rivals, but seem better fortified for the final dash than the Chicagoans. Wherever anydne but ‘Miner’’ Brown is on the hill for the Windy City aggregation, it isn’t a sure thing that the Cubs will be winners. And the fans don’t always rest easy when Mordecai ig serving. either.

With Marquard going like a house afire, the Giants are the only team with a pitch- ing staff that isn’t groggy. The Cubs, Pi- rates and Quakers are limp as to twirling talent. It seems that the Pirates are through as far as the flag is concerned. Where a few weeks azo the Smoketown crew threat- ened trouble, it is now five and a half games behind the Giants. Oh, no, Honus isn’t needed. George Stovall will certainly have a kick coming if Harry Davis gets. his job next season. Taking a team that was slated for a sixth or seventh position berth, he has jumped to fourth place and is a good bet to land third. cuff Curtis, traded to the Quakers for Jack Rowan by the Cubs, did not allow a hit to Brooklyn for seven innings.

Louis f.ns, that is the ones who like to watch the Cardinals play baseball, will soon nave an opportunity of looking over the fellows who are to try for next year’s team. The call for the youngsters has gone out and it is expected that: the replies will be coming in soon. In fact, . of the fellows have been heard and those have been requested to to Manager Bresnahan rate as poszible. give these youngsters a trial this son. He figures they are in better con- dition right now than they will be when the training trip starts next spring and that he might just as well get a line on them immediately. Despite the fact that the telegrams re- questing the youngsters ta report were sent out early today, few of the re- cruits have been heard from. Gilhooley, the youngster purchased from the Adr!i- an (Mich.) team, was among the first to answer the telegrams of Bresnahan, arc he wired he would be unable to get away before’ Sept. 15. This young- ster is likely to have a trial at that time. Bresnahan certainly has heard som mighty flattering reports about hirn, especially since the Cardinals came to Chicago. The Cubs were after Gil- hooley, and President Murphy and Gecrge Huff, the local scout, were look- inx him over when the report was brought that he had been purchased by the Cardinals. The Cardinals today will complete their season in Chicago, and when they leave tonight it will be to return no more this year, Nor are the Car- dinals a bit sorry to get away. They opened their season here and played fine baseball on that trip—a bit bet- ter than they showed at any stbse- quent visit—and the game they are playing today is one they tied up on their initial appearance here, Other- wise they would be spending a day off at home, Harmon Takes Ley-Off. Harnron will not be with the team. when the fellows leave tonight He asked Manager Bresnahan to allow . him to pitch in Tuesday’s game be- cause he wanted to go into Iowa an’ visit his sister. The manager wa*s there with the permission, and Har- mon twirled. He also left immediate. ly after the game for his sister's home. Harmon did exactly what the other Cardinal pitchers have done tn this series. He went wild. Had the twirl- ers from the Mot i City possesse? control of the ball, the Cubs woul: not have won a single game of the five played here, The Cubs came near winning both of Sunday’s gamea because of the wildness of the Car- dinal twirlers, They won the after- noon game on Labor day bscause of the wildness of Woodburn, and cam» near winning in the morning because Golden, Geyer and Harmon coulg not locate the plate.

INST. LOUIS SEVEN 4 j for $16,000 by Mrs. Paul- ine Kessling Reveals That Her Husband, Former Packer, Is Living in Lower California. \VOMAN’S ATTORNEY FINDS MISSING MAN Trinket Sent Through Mail Gives Clew After Detec- tives Fail and He Refuses to Accept Theory That Kessling Was Murdered. BRENHAM, Tex., Sept. 6.—Suits for 218,000 brought by Mrs. Pauline Kess- } ling against insurance companies and fraternal orders were dismissed today at the request of the plaintiff's counsel. She had sought to recover on insurance who disap- “ peared the night of April 14, 1904, in St. Louis. At that time he was one of the leading business men in this portion of Texas, owning a packing plant and be- ing interested in many other enterprises. The attorneys said today that he had not been murdered, as was supposed,

but was living in Lower California.

One of the cases was for $10,000, against the New York Life, one against the Knights of the Maccabees for $3000, ome against the Ancient Order of United \orkmen for $2000 and one against the ‘ons of Hermann Lodge for $1000, a total ' of §16,000. = Case *Yithout Precedent. The suits were the first of the kind sver. filed in Texas, and without a pre- ‘eedent to guide the attorneys, as there was no statute covering this kind of a case, no decisions from the higher * egurts, and it was the eld English com- “men law, which presumes death after ‘an absence of seven years, and entitles the widow to marry again without ‘fi- verce or collect insurance on the poll-. that perhaps Kessling was stillalive and had. sent the trinket. He learned, after many inquiries, that there was a man in California running a meat market whose description was like that of Kessling. He sent Charlie Free, son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. Kess- ling, to California to investigate. At Calexico, Cal., he found Kessling in good health and running a meat market. He telegraphed Mrs. Kessling, ‘I found him. Shall I bring him home?” To ee. Kessling telegraphed a negativ eply. Aduiph Kessling was a prominent cit- izen of Brenham for years prior to 1904, and at that time was the proprietor of a packing establishment, a meat mar- ket, a soap factory and a creamery, and was extensively engaged in the stock business, buying not only for his pack- ery but for the market. His stock pens and cold storage plant furnished a mar- ket for all the cattle, hogs, sheep. and goats that could de raised in this sec- tion. : hysband, that -they relied upon. ' ‘This fact added interest to the case and caused the entire bar of the city to watch the outcome. The announce- raent made by the plaintiff's attorneys when the case was called that it had been dismissed, was unexpected. There were few besides the attorneys who appreciated what this meant, and ,ifany left the courtroom without know- Was Highly Esteemed, He had an almost unlimited credit and was highly esteemed. Early in April, 1904, Adolph Kessling left here, accompanied by Will Buch- anan, Oscar Beaumier and MHerberi Hughes for St. Louis with a train load of cattle, the greater part of which be- longed to him. The cattle were market- ed in St. Louis and $12,000 of the pro- ¥ Aéolph Kessling, whose death had been mourned for seven years, was alive and running a meat market in Calexico, Cal., for this fact was not announced at the time or given as the reason for the dismissal of the sults. ; The announcement was a surprise to who went to Calexico and located Kess- ling, but kept their council until the case was called, when they arose and ssid, ‘“‘May it please the Court, we de- sire that these cases be dismissed from the docket.’’ Kessling had been found. .

KESSLING LEFT HOTEL IN 1904

Cattleman Went to Keep an En- gagement and. Disap- peared. The St. Louis police records show that the manager of the South Side Hotel, 2923 South Broadway, reported April 19, 1904, that Adolph Kessling had disappeared from the hotel] April 14. The manager said Kessling had left the hotel with a large amount of money and several checks in his pockets, to keep an engagement to meet C. F. Meisner, a representative of the St, Louis Butchers’ Supply Co, Kessling, according to the report, did not meet Meisner and was not seen after he left the ore He had come from Brenham, Tex. with a trainload of cattle, which he had sold.

Distinguished Automobiles.

ceeds was sent to a bank here to cover | a claim for an advance that had been made on the cattle. This still left Kess- ling, presumably, with a considerable amount of money, and when,.on the morning of April 14, a message was re- ceived here from St. Louis said he had mysteriously disappeared from his hote}, it was at once swspected that he had been murdered for hfs money. Search Is Begun. Telegrams were sent to the Chief of Police of St. Louis and 4 thorough search was instituted. Sheriff D. E. Teague and Constable R. H. Bureh went to St. Louis to investigate and worked with the officers there, and upon their return reported that they had con- cluded that Kessling was not. dead, but had gone away, though they could get ‘no trace of him. Texas people, however, doubted that he had gone away. His friends could see no reason why he should abandon an extensive business, and a: wife and a number of children ranging in age from 2 to 17 years. His domestic relations, so far as was known, had always been pleasant. Every clew as to his whereabouts was followed, but all clews led back to the hotel in St. Louis, where he had failed to keep an appointment with an old friend to attend the theater the night of April 13, 1904. His packing house here was closed. His-stock was sold at a sacrifice. Ar- rangements for a further, extension of his stock industry were suspended. Receiver Appointed. _ Boon Bryan was appointed receiver, but Mrs. Kessiing’s attorney informei the courts that the packery, soap fac- tory, creamery and stock pens were on Mrs. Kessling’s. homestead. According to the Texas laws, a homestead is not subject to execution. So the industries were allowed to die. About this. time a letter came to the m the defendant insurance companies. They had refused to pay the policies until the courts had ruled on the cases, because of lack of proof of Kessling's death. Proof of death required by a clause in the policies, had never been furnished. The insurance companies had. ex- pressed doubts that Kessling was dead and had tried te find him.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.—Mrs. Lil- lian Wiggins, until recently the most beautiful member of the Reno divorce colony, has returned to Philadelphia in disgust because she did not find the **Reno way” so easy. She is giving ad- vice fo all of her friends that if they wish to be free of marital incumbrances to start their divorce Suits right here and not go to Reno. Mrs. Wiggins still has a husband, although she says she does not know where he is. ‘“‘When I spoke of getting a divorce,” said Mrs. Wiggins, ‘‘my friends asked me why I didn't go to Reno. They said all it was necessary for me to do was to establish a residence, file my suit and then visit the place once in awhile just to demonstrate that I still lived. “I arrived in Reno Aug. 3, 1910, and rented a bungalow a year, paying for it in advance. I lived there for a while and then business called me away. I! got after my attorneys when my care was not moved and they informed me that I had spent so little time in Reno during’ the required six months of resi- dence it would be impossible for me to get my divorce. Obstacles tn the Way. “My attorneys also informed me that twce new judges had recently been ap- pointed at Reno and that these men were very precise and demanded an- swers to the smallest details. “after a time I got tired trying to get a’ Reno divorce and I learned that many other women of the Reno divorce colony had a similar experience, but trey became so fond of the town that they just remained there. I made many friends there and had just as good @ time as if I had been in Philadelphia, New York or Chicago.

Within five days all the shop windows contained hobble gowns. “Reno is a beautiful place in which to live. and an affinity, or die, but from my experience it is the last place in the world to which to go for a divorce.” Mrs. Wiggins, according to her state- ment, was deserted by her husband four years ago. She went to Reno for the purpose of preventing publicity in her home city. Now she has decided to start divorce proceedings here.

SONS LOVED THE MOTHER Would Kiss Her Upon Leaving Home and Not Speak to Father. Resentment of the attitude of. his six children, who showed affection for their mother, but were indifferen toward him, is believed by the chi dren to have been the cause prompted Andrew Frick, 50 years old, to kill his wife, Emma Frick, and himself Tuesday night at their home, 1406 North King’s highway. — Frick, a hard-working, taciturn, man, lost his children’s affection, neighbors say, by seeming indiffer- ence and occasional harshness toward them. The nelghbors believe he careg more for the children than they realized, and that he grew morose when they showed a marked _ prefer- ence for their mother, Neighbors noticed that the five sons would kiss their mother when they left the house, but would pass their father by without a word as he sat smoking on the porch. Had Religious Differences. Religious differences are also be- lieved to have contributed to Frick’s ill will toward his family. He was a Catholic, but his wife, a Baptist, had brought up the children to attend her churgh, and Frick had im late years ceased to attend any church. He went last Sunday, for the first time in years, to St Mark’s, the par- ish church. Frick appeared at the parlor door in his home at 8 p. m. Tuesday) while his 12-year-old niece, Rosella Booker, was playing the piano, and said roughly,~“Stop that.” Rosella .aand her cousin, Annie Frick, 14 years old, turned in surprise and Annie screamed as she saw that her father held a revolver. She had never before seen a weapon in the house. “You people will be sorry for the way you've treated me,” Frick sald as his niece started to leave the room. **¥You ought to be ashamed to speak that way to a little girl,” said Annie, as she ran toward’ the kitchen. Kills His Wife. Frick followed the children to the kitchen, where his wife'and her sister, Mrs. Celia Booker, were washing the dishes. Without a word, he placed his revolver at his wife's left ear and fired. She fell dying on the floor, and Mrs. Pooker and the children, fleeing, hear1 a second shot. : Then Mrs. Booker’s younger children, running through the hallway, saw Frick enter his own room and héard the third shot. The bullet entered Frick’s mouth and passed through his brain. When neighbors arrived, both were dead.

Circulation Books Open to All POOP OOOO4'Virss in Everything”’ = GRAFT SPECIALIST ON GRAFT. Francis J. Heney, specialist in graft trouble, told the City Club of St. Louis that the cause of municipal corruption is privilege, special con- cessipns, preferential treatment, that yield finan- clal advantages to big business and lesser busi- ness and are susceptible of capitalization. ~The force of the statement can be appreciated by none as keenly as those who have had the experience of St. Louisans, who have at some time or other subordinated all other municipal interests for a period to the cause and cure of corruption; before whose eyes has been set in humiliating exposures the object lesson of as- tounding bribery actually traced to the relations between those with the prerogative of corferring privilege and those deriving profit from its be- stowal. ; Graft other than municipal, all varieties of graft, find their origin in some form of privilege. Things are better now than they used to be at the Statehouses. Railroad and other corporate alertness to the financial possibilities of prefer- ential treatment is much less conspicuous than formerly. They found that the rapacity of thoce invested with prerogative increased along with their own rapacity and that they were being compelled to pay too much for privilege. They found that the people’s increasing alertness to their own interests made privilege purchases too dangerous. But tariff privilege giving rise to corruption of many and insidious sorts still has the sanction of hign authority in the present and weighty precedents of the past at Washington. The cause of graft is easier described than Its cure. No case, however, has ever yet been dis- covered too stubborn to resist the heroic treat- ment indicated in the old-fashioned home pre- scription, equal rights to all, special privileges to none. Coupled with exposure and punish- ment for corruptionists of high and low degree, this is a panacea. >; 4 i i ee ei es AA A A+ D » i i a es +->-4..4.4.4.44 4.444544 al i i i i i i i ~~ wwe ee =! = AAAA+4 A A | The longevity germ may add to the value of buttermilk as a beverage, but consumers should not oyerdo the thing.

If the moving picture film can exert so power- ful an influence for evil as it did in the case of the New .ork man who repeated the picture tragedy in his own home the other day, it is doubtless as potent in its suggestion of what is noble and good. We have taken early precautions against the suggestion of evil, and the censorship is still comparatively lax; but of the possibilities for good we have scarcely given a thouglit. The mind fairly revels in the suggestion. It foresees the __miser yielding his hoard, the hard man human- ized, the tale-bearer repentant, and the fool for- saking his folly—all moving mental rictures of what might happily be. “This film has been passed by the official cen- sor,” Wwe oftentimes read, indicating that there is no evil in it. Why may we not read as well, “This fium is officially commended by the censr-s to stingy people,” or “scandal mongers,” or “those who do not love little children,” or “per- sons who play too much bridge,” or “women who mistreat their servants,” or “proprietors of sweat- shops?” Fancy, to be sure, is seldom practical; but it is, at that, the fore-unner of fact.

In commenting on the case of Joseph Russell, shot in the back on Angelica street on Sept. 4, a police captain is reported as indorsing the shoot- ing. -On this official authority, it is said to be “justifiable.” On the record published, Russel), a youth of 19, was running from a policeman when shot. The policeman kept up the pursuit for some time with- out firing. When. tired of running, he drew his revolver and began the attempt to kill. It was his duty to capturs alive that particular fugitive or any other he suspected of crime. When a police- man shoots to kill because he is tired of pursuing a criminal, he is attemping homicide as a sub- titute for activity in the line of cuty. If he suc- eae ; AN AMAZING IMMUNITY RECORD. The New York World has printed a chronology of the Beef Trust cases. It is an amazing record of a failure of justice. For nine years the Gov- ernment has been prosecuting the Beef Trust un- der the civil and criminal clauses of the anti- trust law, yet not one corporation nor indfvidual 00 | responsible for corporate acts has been punished on the trust charge. The first suit against the Beef Trust was in- stituted May 10, 1902. It was an injunction suit. After nearly two years of juggling, on Jan. 81, 1905, the Federal Supreme Court confirmed the injunction granted by the lower court, thus opening the way for the Government to prosecute and punish the packers who continued to defy the decree of the court. | Since this victory the prosecution has assumed many phases. The, General Superintendent of Armour & Co. was indicted for attempting to bribe a witness. Four officers of the Schwarzchild spiracy to obtain rebates from railroads. It was not until July 1, 1905, that indictments were brought against 17 individual packers and five corporations. The indictments against the individuals were quashed on a plea of immunity alleged to have been promised in the investigation of the Beef Trust by the Bureau of Corporations. The indictments against the corporations stood. In the next yer three indictmerts each were brought against eleven individuals. A civil suit against the National Packing Co. subsequently was instituted. After a dozen motions were made and passed upon in court and the civil suit had been dismissed to clear the way for the criminal suits, the trial was fixed for November 20 next. The plain citizen reads this nine-years’ record of legal juggling and delay with wonder and in- dignation. The Beef Trust is the most oppressive of all the trusts. Its extortions affect the price of a necessary of life and thus directly increase the cost of living. The dining tables of neither rich nor poor are immune from its long fingers of greed. But the Beef Trust has been immune from the hand of the law for nine years and has been free to pursue its enormously profitable op- pressions. What men of less wealth, power and influence accused of crime could so long defy the law and the powers of the greatest government in the world? What wonder that trust delinquents, see- ing the apparent helplessness of the Government sist in lawlessness. The law is respected and obeyed only when the Government compels respect and obedience by prompt, impartial law enforcement. the — Mr. Taft has had a piece of good fortune in Missouri.

The suit filed in the State Supreme Court to compe] the city authorities to levy the tax author- ized by the voters for toe support of tne Municipal Art Museum, is commendable. The tax was stopped on the ground that the Museum was under private instead of public control, and was not a proper beneficiary of a tax levied for a municipal museum. Only one clause of the tax measure was condemned as faulty. But since then the status of the Museum has been changed. It is now owned and controlled by the city. It is in reality as well as in name a public museum and should receive liberal support from the city. The voting of the art museum tax was a cred- itable act of the St. Louis people. It was an attestation of their liberality and Icve of art and a promise of increasing art enjoyment and cul- ture for the future. They ought not to be cut off from the benefits of their own deliberate decision to support and promote local art interest and education. The Art Museum is popular and has proved its worth. If the Court shall find war- rant in the law for the ruling sought by members of the Museum Board, citizens will be gratified. It would carry out the popular will without addi- tional cost and effort. _ = SS The mill tax wheel grinds very slowly, but it will be fine when we get it. TO BUROPE IN THREE DAY8.

The suggestion of “One of the Milifon (ta be)” in your issue of Sept. 1 for a co-operative laundry, in order that the citizens protect them- selves against laundry extortion, is both time- ly and good. Co-operation is about the most ef- fective means against all kinds of extortion. In addition to the savings and profits, the people would employ themselves, thus furnishing work to a goodly number. The charges should be the same as in the laundries outside, the saving to members and patrons coming back in the shape of profits, which now go entirely to the present proprietors, Two shares might be held by each person, one-half payable in cash to secure the required working capital and---the other half might be paid by allowing the profits to accu- mulate. This is the method which prevails in the “Rochdale Movement” of England, which is the model of all European co-operation, and which is today the most successful trading insti- tution the world ever saw. In connection with this English movement it may be interesting to note that every large s0- clety in the English cities has not only its bak- ery, flour mill, etc, but also its laundry. Two years ago the writer visited all of the important central and branch co-operative societies of Great Britain. The Leeds Society is perhaps the greatest of them all, having over 50,000 members on its roll, The laundry belonging to this so- clety is a model in every way, building, methods, business, labor and profits. A single-story stone and iron building, inside snow-white cleanliness, meets the eye on every side. The wainscot around the large departments is'ornamental porcelain: the remainder of the side wall cream colored enamel brick; the floors concrete; all the parti- tions are beveled plate glass; the roof steel, and luxor prisms covering the whole of its surface flood the building with light and fresh air. The outside sorting room is cut off as though it were a quarantine station. The equipment is the latest and the best of both English and American man- ufacture. Eighty thousand collars a week are received and sent out. The dining hall for the employes is a fine feature. The interest paiq on shares has been five per cent, which is the fixed rate under the “Rochdale system,” no matter how much profit be made upon the capital invested. But there is an addi- tional profit, that upon the patronage, and in -~proportion to that patronage. This in addition to the ideal conditons of employment and the bonus on labor renders the co-operative laundry an ideal enterprise for all concerned. And what the working people are doing, in Leeds and in the cities of England may surely be done here. J. T. TUOHY, LL D., Becretary American Co-Operative Union, Newspapers and Young Folks. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Answering a 16-year-old lad? To read newspa- pers is not harmful if you only know which news to read and which not. All the news is not very instructive to all the readers. Some news is harmful and some news is beneficial, according to the age and temperament of the reader; and some news is true and some is not. Therefore, it is generally g00dq to read the newspapers for reference and consideration, which requires a good deal of the reader’s intellectual or selective powers. Civil officers, preachers, men of com- merce and all others draw valuable information by reading newspapers should they read them with cool and critical eye under proper guidance of their intellect. To the boys and girls of tender age they are more harmful than good, because they are not yet intellectual enough to chew, digest and bring them to their own judgments what they read, but devour and swallow all the news, true and false, and believe everything they read. How- ever, I wish to mention a few exceptions, namely: . 1, Post-Dispatch editorials are very valuable to all readers; in style, in force, they outclass all the other newspapers of St. Louis, 2.

One effulgence comes out of the Fast and one out of the West, joining their radiance as they settle down again with us—the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis and the Hon. John Coughlin. Either one might be a city’s pride, but Chicago, extending the welcoming hand, joyously claims both. The Jeffersonian mysteries and the secrets of dress are open to them. Col. Lewis bids us be of good cheer and hearken. He is a candidate for the United States Senate. Col. Coughlin tells us his first act will be to put the kibosh on women’s white shoes. ‘There ts one thing I wish to say,’’ says Col Coughlin, “and that is that the bell will ring Sept. 15 for white shoes. I am going to see that the white shoe goes under the bink.” We welcome our effulgences thus full of good purposes. BAGGAGE ABROAD. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. hotel declares that he has never seen people bound for Europe take s0 little baggage with them as they have done this summer. If this reflects a gen- eral tendency it indicates that Amer- icans are growing wiser in the true art of traveling. Not only does the reduction of trunks and handbags to a minimum mean a corresponding re- duction in worry and an increase in enjoyment, but it makes possible « very eonsiderable saving in Euro- pean countries, where baggage, which in this country is checked free up co a certain limit, is only carried at what seems exorbitant rates. TARIFFS AND TRADE, From the Toronto Btar. For many years Canadians have been | pointing to the adverse balance of trade and ascribing it to the difference in tariffs. For many years the Americans have been told that if they want reci- procity they must come down to the Canadian tariff level. They have of- fered to come down to that level, and, if there is any force in tariffs, equality in tariffs must tend toward equality m trade. —_—__— MODEL STUDENTS. From the New York Staate-Zeitung.

When Does Woman Become “Old”? «=

Never, if She Follows the Rules Laid Down by Margaret Holmes Bates in an Interview for the Post-Dispatch By Marguerite M. Marshall. T what age does @ woman cease believe the familiar saying. But other authorities are moré arbitrary. For instance, the Cambridge Young Women’s Christian Association has just been considering applicants for its new ‘home for young women.” And its flat is that no woman is young after she has passed the age of 36. Yesterday I put the question to Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates, author ani club woman. This was her beautifully encouraging reply: “A woman need never cease to be young. She is only old when she makcs herself so. A woman at % today is frequently in the heyday of her youth, ‘You see,”’ Mrs. Bates added explana- forily, “youth is not just a thing of blushes and smiles. The women who rrepare and apply both, at their dress- ing tables, in an attempt to take off years, are laboring under a grave mis- epprehension. Youth is essentially a spirit. That is why cosmetics never succeed in capturing it. HB trouble with a great many women is that they permit their spirits to grow old and then attempt drooped, too, her hands fell lacka- daisically, and in a dolorous whine she used to murmur, ‘Oh, anything will do for me, the little time I’ve got to stay in this world!’ I might add that this particular woman lived to be 80, but she was as truly old at 35 as she was on her last birthday. «& N, the other hand: I have known many women at 35, ‘the old age of youth, as it has been called, who Were really younger than they had been at 20. These women had gotten acquainted with them- selves. They had lost the gaucherie, the shyness, the unwitting selfish- ness of girlhood, mental clouds which almost obscured the spirit of youth. At 3, that spirit was shining stronger than ever and there were no. clouds to hide it. They were charming, beautiful, gracious, and essentially young women. And they looked tt. Why, I know one woman now, right here in New York, whom I had al- ways supposed to be 25 and who calmly introduced me, the other day, to her 25-year-old son!” “But tis the fabled fountain of youth realy true, and have some women discovered it?’ I asked. Certainly there is a fountain of of the West. They sink deeply into their settleq way of do'ng things that they can’t even see over the edge. And they don’t want to. oo THE woman who wishes to stsys young must avoid a fixed rou- tine of life. And’ though there are some laws which she may, with ad- vantage, lay down for herself, she must never get into the habit of lay- ing down laws for other people. In- stead she must sympathize with them. Also she must respond quickly to new abstract interests ag well ag to per- sonal ones. She must keep up with the times, read the new books, see the latest plays, investigate the most modern lines of thought. She must preserve an eternal enthusiasm, «6 ‘first fine careless rapture’ of men- tal outlook.” “Ana don’t you think she should take good care of her health?” I in- terrupted. “That is the best way of preserving the physical appearance of youth,” Mrs. Bates admitted. HE woman’ who wants to look young must tabee massage creams and liquid rouge. These only harden the structure of the face and destroy the fine texture of the skin. Reputable physicians have declared that if she ‘bants’ or ‘steams’ or in- dulges in other artificial methods of removing her flesh she risks losing her health. Her beauty must g0 with it. “Then how is she to keep her figure and her complexion, do you ask? “Simply by sane, healtH¥ul living. She ought to eat plain, wholesome food. at regular intervals.

RS. CHARLES Ross LURTON. SAVANTS BOTTLE SIMON PURE TALK UF AN ABORIGINE Phonograph Records Dialect of “‘Ishi,’? an Uncontaminated Poor Lo.

SAN FRANCISCO, ‘Sept. 6.—Anthro- pologists of the University of Cali- fornia announce that they have in “the most uncontaminated in the known world.” They have gotten from him, on phono- Sraphic records, over 300 words of hig language, and expect to exhaust his scanty vocabulary within a week or so. The tribal and folklore se- cured from him-thus far are consid- ered priceless. The man, driven from the moun- tains by forest fires, was caught near Oroville a few days ago while at- tempting to steal meat. “Ishi,”” the anthropologists @all him, which means ‘‘man’”’ in the tongue of the Southern Yahi Indians, his tribe. at his theory of the origin of fire the sclentists almost danced with joy. It coiunects intimately with the mythelogy of other California tribes, and tribes east of the Sierras and with that of the Creeks and Romans. It involves a su- perior oer supreme being, the Coyote, who stole the fire and transmitted it to the Yahis, either voluntarily or be- cause he had to do so. When Ishi wearied of talking, Prof. Waterman offered him a bow and ar- row, found in some university expedi- tion. The eld man—Ishi Is over #— brightened up, and walked outside. A hat was put on a post 100 feet away ynd Ishi sped his first arrow through the center of its crown. He shot an- other at the same range through a newspaper at exact intersection of its folds and made some other fancy shots. His method of handling the bow is said to be different from that found among any other tribes. Ishi’s one garment has been replaced by trousers, shirt and necktie. He re- fuses to remove any of them even at nizht, but retains from his former estate buckskia thongs in his ears and nose. To each thong, Prof. Kroeber explained, e bit of abalone shell was attached at one time as a religious rite. The pres- ence of the thongs is considered essen- tial to dshi’s well being in the hereafter.
