ES RESULT OF MAINE ELECTION STILL SIN QUESTION Anti-Prohibitionists’ Majority Drops to 168 at Noon and Later Figures Show a Still Greater Loss—Drys Still Predict Victory. } COMPLETE RETURNS IN FROM 225 DISTRICTS State - Wide Is Carried by a Good Margin, but 6362 Votes Are Cast Against It—Au- gusta Loses Capital Fight. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 12.—Official feturns received up to 2:15 p. m., con- tinued to decrease the small unofficial anti-prohibition majority shown this morning and at that hour jt looked as if the official margin one way or the other would be slight. The Prohibitionists were very hopeful that further figures would turn the result in their favor. Official returns from 22 cities, towns and plantations used in revising the un- official figures of last night, have re- duced the repeal majority to 168 yotes. Former Mayor Adam P. Leighton, ‘ president of the No-License League, an- nounced this morning that steps would be taken for a recount of the vote un- less the official returns should material- ly increase the majority for the repeal of the amendment. Official returns had been received this morning from 5 cities and towns. Next in interest to the prohibition question was that of the adoption or re- jection of a State-wide primary act. The official vote from 70 cities and towns at hand this morning shows 23,780 favor- able and 6362 opposing vetes, a majority in favor of 17, 418. On the question of making Augusta forever the seat of.government, the up- State voters generally voted for it, but Cumberland County, York County and ether sections nearer Portland were strong on the other side and the de- feat of the proposition was indicated.

OWNER OF GRANT'S WAGON RIDES IN AUTO After First Spin Decides Not to Trade Relic for Motor Can, Henry Henricks, who lives on the Gravois road and owns the old VU. S. Grant wagon, had his first ride in an automobile Monday night. Henricks was summoned as a witness in a Circuit Court case for this week and drove to Clayton Sunday in his old wagon to be sure to be on time, and has been there since, accepting such hospitality as is extended to him for the wagon’s sake and sleeping in it at night. Monday evening he was lured tnto an automobile and taken on a speedy spin to Delmar Garden. When he returnea he said he would rather ride half a mile in the eld wagon than all day in the auto. Using the wagon as a stage, Henricks gives street performances by playing the flute, his repertoire consisting mainly of “Turkey in the Straw” and “Arkansas Traveler.”’ - So many souvenirs have been whit- tled from the wagon by the millionaires who visit the old Grant farm that a tangle of wires and strings barely avail to hold it together. Px QUITS THIEF CHASE TO HUNT HER SLIPPER Girl Lets Robbers Escape With Mesh Bag Rather Than Lose New Suede Pump. Cinderella, in the person of Miss Flor- ence Kiernan of 4524 St. Ferdinand ave- nue, lost her pretty slipper in the dark and had te go back to find it. That's why she didn’t catch two highwaymen who were running away with her silver- mesh purse containing her watch and money. With Miss Lucille Franklin she was going to her home at 10 p. m., Monday, when, at Evans and Newstead avenues, two young men rushed from the shadow of a fence.

. One jostled Miss Kiernan and the other snatched the purse from her hand. Miss Kiernan bravely chased the thieves a block north en Newstead avenue and was about to grab them when one of her gray suede slippers came off. The chase had attracted several persons living in the neighborhood. Men came running up and said: ‘‘Which way did they go? We'll catch them for you.” “©, don’t mind them. Please help me find my slipper,”’ said Miss Kiernan. So the thief chase became a slipper- hunting party and the thieves escaped, but the slipper was found.

BIG SWINDLE IS CHARGED AGAINST. CHICAGO PRISONER Man Who Jumped $23,000 Bond in Philadelphia Again at Work. $150,boo BAIL DEMANDED Profits of Gang From Green Goods and Salted Mines Put at $1,500,000. CHICAGO, Sept. 12-8 A. Potter, alias George W. Post, said by Federal officials to be one of the best known gold brick and green goods confidence men in the world, was arrested today by C. F. de Woody, division superintend- ent of the Department of Justice, on a charge of operating a confidence game. Potter and two companions for whom Federal officials are searching,-are said to have netted $1,500,000 im the past few years by the operation of their schemes. Potter offered a cash bond of $50,000 for his release, but it was refused by Federal officials, who declared that nothing less. than a cash bond of $150,000 would be accepted. Potter was arrested at his home on the South Side, where he is said to have lived for several months. After making the arrest, Superin- tendent De Woody remained in the lux- uriously furnished apartment occupied by Potter and his wife for several hours in-the hope of capturing Potter's companions. The telephone rang once, but when Superintendent De Woody an- swered, the man at the other end of the line became suspicious, and hung up the receiver. Potter and Starkloff have operated in nearly every large city in the world un- der numerous aliases, according to Su- perintendent De Woody. Potter and his companions came to Chicago early in 1910 and opened an ofnce in the downtown district. By sending out literature offering to sel! paper bills printed from forms allege: to have States Mint at Philadelphia at a dis- count of 50 per cent, they swindled credulous investors ‘of large sums, ac- cording to Supt. de Woody. Copies of these circulars were, it is said, received by Fred Hansen of Ev- ansville, Wis.; Josiah .Millspaugh of Brooklyn, Wis.; Richard C. Mason of Genesee Depot, Wis., and many others. Companions Went Abroad. The band of swindlers also dealt in “salted”’ gold mines, according to Fed- eral officials. Potter made his head- quarters in either Chicago or, some other large city, his companions went to London, England; Berlin, Germany. and other foreign cities to interest wealthy men in the gold mines swindle. The men are said to have operated in nearly every large city in the world in the last 10 years. In 1910 Potter and Starkloff were arrested in Philadelphia charged with using the United States mail to defraud by means of a confi- dence game. They furnished a cas): bond of $23,000 and disappeared. After leaving Philadelphia the _ al- leged swindlers flooded Wisconsin with “green goods” literature which was shipped from Chicago to New Orleans, where it was mailed. Potter and Stark- loff are under indictment in Chicago for illegally using the mails to defraud, and for operating a confidence game. An indictment charging illegal use of the mails also is pending against them in the Federal Court in New York. Amount Put at $1,500,000. “Potter is the cleverest confidence man in the world in my opinion,” De Woody said. “He and his companions have obtained $1,500,000 in a few years by means of the green goods, salted gold mine and gold brick swindle. They are known to the police of every big city in the world. A certain percentage of their earnings was put aside for use in getting the members out of trouble in case of arrest and as a result they always have a large amount of cash for immediate use. “We have been after Potter and his companions for several years, but found no trace of them until several days ago. We have not fecided on what charge we will prosecute him, as he is under in- dictment in Ohicago, Philadelphia and New York for using the mails to de- fraud.”’ BROKERAGE CO. SUSPENDS

The Rev. Father Henry —— m a brief eulogy, told the 38000 persons who. thronged the church that Butler had known for months that the end was near, and that his faith was beautt- ful. He urged his hearers to fan a like flame of faith in their own . hearts. Butler received holy communion weekly for some time before his death, the orator said, and viewed the approach- ing end as a relief from a lifetime of work and an end to exile from the life beyond. The Butler funeral was the largest which has gone to Calvary Cemetery in many years. Followin the hearse to the burial place were 88 carriages and 10 buggies. At the grave in Calvary Cemetery, hundreds gathered besides those who had gone in carriages. Street cars and automobiles carried many who were not members of the regular procession, and |. these took their place near the road- way, lined on each side with floral of- ferings, which led to the family lot. Heads were bared as the casket was taken from the hearst, and a thousand voices joined in the responses of the “Our Father,”’ and the ‘Hail Mary,’’ as the ritual was pronounced by the Rev. Father Franois J. O’Connor. A canopy was over the lot, which its marked by the family monument. The grave, by the graves of Butler’s sons, John and Edward Jr., was lined with concrete. At the church, largest of West Pind houses ef worship now in use, the main auditorium was crowded to the utmost and the doors were blocked by persons trying te gain entrance. On Grand and Lindell avenue’, outside the church, thousands gathered, and the church yard and the sidewalks for nearly a block in twe directions were black with humanity. Many stood through the service who could not approach near enough to the church to hear the strains of the organ through the open windows. Dia Net Know Age. “Many in the throng commented, as they left the church, on the odd fact that Col. Butler did not know his age. He was born in Ireland, as he had often been heard to say, in the year of “the big wind.” But when he applied in mid- dle age in St. Louis for life inevrance, and tried to fix the year, he found that there were two “big winds”—one fn 1830 and one in 1888—se that ft is not known whether he was 8l‘or 78 when he died.

Y., Sept. 12.—Un- deterred by the tragic fate of her hus- band, Mrs. Ralph Johnstone, a widow of 10 months, has decided to take up aviation. She will begin this week on the Hemp- stead Plains, the study of the sport which Ralph Johnstone féllowed until he pluged to death from a height of 500 feet at Denver, Nov. 16 last. Straight. flying is at..present the height of the ambition of the young aviatrix. She does not intend to. try the dangerous. spirals and glides, in which her husband was so thrillingly proficient. Mrs. Johnstone followed bar husband’s aviation career with . intense interest. She witnessed most of his . exhibition flights en Haster® fields in the summer of 1910, but did not. accompany him to Denver. _.When Johnstone fell to the earth while making a reckless dip at Kinloch fielé, St. Louis, last October, she urged him te be mere carefal, but never counseled him to give up fiying. The news of his death in Denver, which was .attribtued to the breaking of a wing of his machine, prostrated the young woman.

The operation of grafting 150 pieces of skin on Miss Johanna Byrne's torn left hand has just been completed in East St. Louis. Four persons, including the surgeon who performed the operation and the young woman herself, contrib- uted skin for the purpose. Miss Byrne is 2 years old and resides at 827 Market avenue in East St. Louis. She was employed at the H. and L. Chase Bag Co. in St. Louis, and on Aug. 13 her hand was caught in the ma- chinery, the skin being torn from it like a glove, from the wrist down: It was necessary to amputate the thumb and two fingers. The hand was s0 ill-nourished with blood that Dr. T. Van Boyd, who was attending Miss Byrne, concluded skin would not grow on it unless grafted on» He began with his ewo skin and cut bits from. ‘a surface two to three inches on hig left arm, laying the tiny sur- faces on Miss Byrne’s hand and bind- ing: them until they became: attached. | ‘Then’ he took skin from: a surface four by’ five: inches on Miss Byrne's right thigh.

Among the more :conspicuous of these were designs from the children, from the grandchildren, from negroes in the gar- bage stables who had worked for But- ler, from employes in his blacksmith shop (who sent a huge anvil and siedg* in flowers), from Standard Theater em- p.cyes and from other theaters on the Empire circuit, from Kansas City friends and from a host of friends in St. Louis.

The courtroom was filled with jurors, who heard what had taken place. One of them stepped forward and said he would like to speak to Campbell. He told Campbell he wanted to give the boy an outfit of clothing, so that he would have a better chance to get work.

It was the offer- ing of John Murphy, fermerly employed by the Colonel, and often befriended by him. ‘ When Murphy called at the home after the death, no member of the family knew him. They hed not heard how fly in sickness and trouble. Butler was not ene who let others know of his char- ities. But Murphy had not forgotten, and although he had little money, he bought the rose and asked to be per- mitted to lay it on the coffin. The family was #0 touched by Mur- phy’s tearful recital of Butler’s kind- nesses to him that the rose was left lying on the casket, although the other floral gifts were banked about the room and halls. Another floral gift was a memento of one of the Colonel’s kindnesses. It came ifrom Mrs. Dwight Fortner, who in her childhood lived near the Colonel’s home. He had seen her playing thereabouts, and when he heard that ver husband, brought back to 8t.

A story widely printed during Cronin’s term as Speaker related that he was awakened one night by his wife, who shook him and whispered hoarsely: ‘‘Get up, Jim, there are robbers in the house!” “Naw,” muttered the drowsy states- man, “there ain’t any robbers in the House.

ig CB KNOCKED OUT AN TWO GASES Both Decisions Sous by Interstate Commerce Board of Great Interest.to St. Louis—Rail- road. = Prohibited From Charging Extra 25 Cents Over the Potomac. SPAN PROPERTY PART OF THE'R. R. SYSTEM In the St. Louis Case Before the Supreme Court the Terminal Association Con- tends It Is Foreign to the Railroads Using the Bridge By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-—Two de- cisions in bridge toll cases § ren- ‘dered by the Interstate Commerce Com- mission last week are of great inter- est to St. Louis. The commission held that the Washington Southern Reail- road, a subsidiary corporation of the - Pennsylvania and Southern Railroads, could not charge an arbitrary bridge toll of 25 cents for each passenger trans- ported over the bridge at Washington. The commission also denied the Souta- .ern Railway the right to charge a fare of 60 cents from Washington to Alex- andria, a distance of eight miles. Im both cases the contention of the raliroads was that the bridge service was so expensive that the roads were entitled to a higher rate. The effect of the Interstate Commerce Commis- gion’s decision was that the bridge vas properly a part of the railroad gystem, and that the railroads had no right to make a higher charge on the bridge than on any other part of the ayatem. The finding is an important precedent in the solution of the bridge and termi- nal problem in St. Louis. The Washington bridge is owned by the railroad that applied for permission to make an arbitrary of 25 cents, while the St. Louis bridge and terminal fa- cilities are owned by the Terminal Rail- road Association. The Terminal Asso- ciation,* in the Htigation ‘affecting its right to charge an arbitrary, has always contended that as it was a distinct cor- poration and not a part of the rail- roads, it had the right to make @ sep- arate charge for its services. Railroads Own Terminal. The only difference between the Wash- freton and St. Louis situations is that the Washington bridge is under the own- ership of the :ailreads, while the St. Iouis bridges and terminals, theoret- ically owned by the Terminal] Railroad Association, are, in fact, owned by the 15 lines which own the Terminal asso- ciation. It ‘has been shown in the Gov- err.ment fnjunction sult against the Ter- minal, which is now in the Supreme Court, that its stock was owned in equal parts by the rafiroads; that the proprie- tary rallreads had guaranteed its bond issues, and that its board of directors ¥ was comiprised of officials of the differ- wa " ent railroads, each road being entitled . to one director. If this techniéal difference in owner- rhip of a bridge guve license to exact un extortionate toll for crossing it, All tite Washington Southern Railroad weuld have to do would be to create & separate corporation to own and ope- erate the. bridge.. ' Had Double Object. The railroad«companies here had a double object in asking for the priv- elege of charging the 50-cent one-way fare and using a bridge arbitrary for making ~up a base on which to fix _ through rateg to the north and west of Washington. The 50-cent fare was to deé- feat the low rates made in Virginia by the Corporation Laminar aay of that State. | The Southern trenkiy set forth In its - application for permission to disregard the amended long and short haul seo- tion of the interstate commerce that it desires to break up a practice by means of which passengers avail themselves of the low rates in Virginia.

&. Louls to Kanses City just as if the carriers had not been trying for years to maintain an arbitfary situation by reason oc the cxistence of the bridges. On a reargument of that matter, the commisioners waived aside sugges- tions that the carriers are put to great and . necessary expense in getting freight across t .e river, the whole ten- dency being to tell the carriers to run along with their antiquated arguments about the great cost of the service. They made the lawyers admit that rates and regulations, have been so ar- ranged as to force upon commerce a needless expense. The fact that in all cases except one the carriers serving St. Louis are transmississippi companies had no weight with the commissioners. By their attitude they indicated that so far as they are concerned, it is the’ business of the Pennsylvania and other Mississippi carriers to deliver in St. Louis as it is the duty of transmississip- pi carriers to deliver in East St. Louis, just as if there were no bridges owned by companies kept up for the purpose of exacting a loca! toll on’ long system- line hauls. ‘ Like a Test Case, Thus far there has been no case from St. Louis Ike that of the Washington bridge application for permission to disregard the long and short haul sec- tion. the Washington bridge case was put forward as a test of the temper of the commissioners, the carriers believ- ing they could get away with a case of that kind here easier than they could put through an application to use the St. Louis bridges for a like purpose. There has never been such a fight on account ef the Washington : bridge as has prevailed at St. Louis. Application for such a permit in connection with the St. ts bridges, the carriers have reason to believe, would have stirred up a hornet’s nest. Had permits been issued on account of the bridge across the Potomac they would have served as a precedent for the St. Louis bridges. LOS ANGELES CASE BASIS FOR ATTACK The Terminal Association has con- tended that its properties did not con- stitute a railroad within the meaning of the law, and that the Interstate Com- meréé Commission would not therefore have jurisdiction. Efforts are now being Way | made to get the question before the com- @ission on the theory that the bridge arbitrary is a discrimination against St. Louis, and therefore a violation of the sections of the interstate commerce law which prohibit railroads from making and collecting different rates for similar ser vices. : The commission's recent decision in

It is regarded as probable that/

on the bridge arbitrary at St. Louls. In the Los Angeles case the commis: sion held that a charge for switching a car to or from a store or factory on an industrial track, which was a spur track of the carrier, was a discrimina- tion against the business of Los Ange- les, San Francisco and San Diego, and was, therefore, illegal. A similar charge to this is not made in any other city. Not Like Other Cities. The freight and passenger arbitrary in St. Louis is not charged at any oth- er city on the Mississippi River under exactly similar conditions, and bridge arbitrary foes urge, therefore, that St. Louis is discriminated against as be- tween it and other rival commercial centers, and that the Los Angeles de- cision, if applied in St. Louis, would knock out the arbitrary. Another case which lawyers say might be applied to the St. Louis arbi- trary was the inter-mountain case origi- nating at Reno, Nev. Citizens of Reno and other mountain cities complained to the commission that the continental lines charged more for hauling a car- load of freight to Renp than to Pacific Coast.points. The complaint was made under the long and short haul clause of the recently amendeg Interstate Com- merce act. The commission held that the conten- tion of the Reno complainants was cor- rect, and that the long and short haul clause prohibits a railroad from charg- ing more for hauling a similar kind of freight to one point than to a more dis- tant point. Another Basig Given. Lawyers say that this decision may be applied to the coal] arbitrary of ® cents a ton. at St. Louls. The rate on coal from the inner and outer groups of Illinois mines is greater to St. Louls by reason of the arbitrary than it is on coal to points more than 100 miles west of St. Louis, and therefore, it is con- tended, the railroads are charging more for the short haul to St. Louis than for the long haul to points more than 100 miles west of St. Louis. It is cen- tended that the commission’s decis- fon in the intermountain case makes such charge clearly jllegal. The Government authorities ig St. Louis are also anticipating a speedy de- Cision of the injunction sult against the Terminal, now that it is before the Su- preme Court for adjudication on its merits. The case probably will be argued and submitted in December. If the Government succeeds in having the Terminal Railroad Asseciation dissolved for violation of the anti-trust lews it will no longer exist to impose.an arbi- trary freight charge on traffic at St. Louis. ‘ Chance te Presecute. If, after the dissolution of the Term- inal, the railroads attempt to evade the decision by acting in concert to create an arbitrary on interstate commerce, then the question of whether such action was contempt of court, subject to pun- ishment by -imprisonment, would be raised. The prosecuting officigis of the Government say it is not likely the railroads would attempt to violate a mandate of the Supreme Court, knowing that contempt proceedings would be invoked.

Women witnesses clashed in Judge Grimm’s court Tuesday while testify- ing in John Esque’s sult for $6000 dam- ages against the United Railways Co. Eeque’s wife was injured while alight- ing from an Olive street car in Sep- tember 1909 and Esque alleges that her spine was so affected that she became an invalid. The jury awarded him $1200. In a previous suit based on the same accident, Mrs. Esque received $400 dam- agés. The Esques now live at 4419A Gar- field avenue, but at the time of the ac- cident their home was on Kennerly avenue. Mrs. Nellie Flood of 3726 Lincoln ave- nue, who lived next door to the Esque family, appeared as a witness for BHs- que. Mrs. Benjamin Fath, who. for- merly lived in the flat above the Esques, was a witness for the street car com- pany. Mrs. Fiood testified that after being hurt Mrs. Esque could not walk up- stairs without holding the banister. Mrs. Fath testified that she couldn't notice any difference in Mrs. Esque after the accident. “The next morning after she said she was hurt, I saw her carry a basket of kindling downstairs,’’ she said. ‘I met Mrs. Flood in the yard, and Mrs. Flood said it was ridiculous for Mrs. Esque: to pretend that she was hurt.’’ Attorney Paxson for Esque jumped ‘‘o, his feet. “I want to show that Mrs. Fath is prejudiced against Mrs. Fiood because Mrs. Flood testified against Mrs. Fathis brother in the Dunnaway divorce suit.” Mrs. Fath took the stand and admit- tea that she and Mrs. Fiood had not spoken since the divorce suit. Mrs. Flood was then recalled. She. vigorously denied that she ever said to Mrs. Fath or anyone else that it was ridiculous for Mrs. Esque to claim, damages. As she stepped from the stand she; glared at Mrs. Fath and the United, Railways attorneys and exclaimed: “My, what a ile.”

NEPHEW HELD ON BAD CHECK CHARGE: Ben Grabinsky Caught in Kansas. City on Complaint Made in Memphis. IS $284 SUM INVOLVED Uncle Is Joseph Mathes, an Iron Manufacturer, Who Was His Guardian.

The St. Louis office of the Pinkerton Detective Agency was notified Tuesday of the arrest in Kansas City of Ben Grabinsky, nephew of Joseph Mathes, a wealthy St. Louis iron manufacturer, on a charge of cashing in Memphis a check for $28 on the National Bank of Commerce when he had no account there. , Detectives have been ‘searching for Grabinsky since March 30, when it is charged, he cashed the check in Mem- phis, and traced him to a number of towns in Arkansas, and then to Kan- sas City, where he had obtained em- ployment as clerk in a cigar store, The yottth was known in sporting circles in St. Louis, being often seen about handbook places. Inheritance Nets $2000. According to information ouwtained by the detectives, Grabinsky has for sev- eral years lived at the home of his uncle, Joseph Mathes, 5376 Von Versen avenue. Mathes was his guardian until last June, when Grabinsky became 21 years old and inherited several theu- sand dollars from the estate of his fa- ther. He received only $2000, relatives retaining some of the inheritance for money they told the detectives they had advanced to him to help him out of other difficulties. He soon spent this money, they said, and found himself in Memphis without funds. The check he is accused of cashing there was drawn on the St. Louis bank and cashed by the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank of Memphis. Woman Traced With: Him. When detectives were following Grabinsky from Memphis to Little Rock, to Argenta, Ark., Jomesboro, Ark., and to Kansas City they found he was accompanied by a pretty woman he met in Little Rock. The only name the detectives found for her was “Beatrice.” Her home was formerly in Jonesboro. The youth’s stepmother, Mrs. Car- rie Grabinsky, resides at 6075 Von Versen avenue. A sister, Miss Mig- non Grabinsky, lives with her uncle, Joseph Mathes. Another sister re- cently married Milton Levy at the Mathes home, the wedding being a society event. CAT FAMILY CAUSES COMEDY OF ERRORS Owner Gets on Train With Pets, but His Wife Is Left Behind. John D.

Tuesday te go to the veterinary hospital of Dr. Andrew Darling at 38534 Pine street to reclaim a cat and kittens that had been left there. Lawson’s understanding was that Mrs. Lawson would take a train for Columbia at 9:04 and that he and the cat and kittens would board it at Vande- venter avenue. Mrs. Lawsoen’s under- standing was that Lawson and the cat and kittens would come to Union Sta- tion. The train departed, leaving Mrs. Law- son in a highly hysterical condition at the station. Lawson, carrying the cat and kittens, boarded the train at Vande- venter avenue and it was under way before he discovered that Mrs. Lawson was not on board. Mrs. Lawson, about that time, was telling Policeman McClelland to call up

jall the hospitals. She was persuaded to return to.the Southern Hotel. A tele- gram from Lawson straightened out the comedy of errors. He continued home. His wife will follow Tuesday evening.

ONLY IN DAYLIGHT Expect to Return by Chicago, Completing 2200-Mile Jour- ney in 15 Days. From New York to St. J.ouis by trol- ley, in five days, traveling only in the day time, is the record made by Lieut. William A. J. Koenig of the New York City police force, and his wife, who now are visiting in St. Louis. Their start was made at Syracuse,-N. Y., and the trip of approximately 1100 miles was made entirely by trolley oars except a jump of 47 miles from Lafayette, Ind., to Danville, Ill., made by train. Lieut. Koenig is on his annual 15-day furlough. His wife: formerly was Miss Frances Malloy of St. Louis. She left here 12 years ago and went to New York. Nine years ago she was driving at Coney Island, when her horse bde- came frightened and ran away. Lieut. Koenigs who was stationed at the pleas- ure resort at that time, ran into the street and stopped the runaway. They were married in New York a year later. Mrs. Koenig has made a tour around the world but likes to ride on trolley cars. When she expressed a desire to visit friends in St. Louis during her husband’s vacation, Koenig prepared to make the trip by trolley. For four months he studied timecards and maps of various trolley lines, selecting their route. Syracuse Starting Point. They started from Syracuse last Tues- day morning, and arrived tn St. Louis Saturday night. It/ts possible .to make the journey by trolley from New York City, Koenig explained, but they made the trip to Syracuse by train to make better connections and givé them time to visit friends there.

After spending his last $% to ebtain work as a steamboat cook and traveling from St. Louis to Keokuk, Io., George Fluchel, 6 years old, of 480 Maryland avenue, Wellston, was crushed in spirit when he was told he was too old for the job.

Superintendent of Schoels Blewett Tuesday received the public school en- rollment statistics for Monday, the open- ing day of the second week of the school / term, showing that 74,208 pupile were entered. Statistics for the correspond- ing day last year showed the enrollment was 78,327. Supt. Blewett said that by the end of this week, he was confident, there would be a further increase, as school prin- cipals had reported to him that many boys and girls having certificates to work in the summer, had not returned to school. The work certificates issued this summer numbered 1850, while only 1500 were issued in the summer of 1910. The certificates have now expired andj cannot be used without laying the em- ployer liable to the penalties of the child labor law.

BUSINESS IS SUSPENDED our Gunboats Give Protection, but Uprising Is Not Against » Foreigners. By Associated Press. ~ CHENGKIANG, Western China, Sept. 2—A serious rebellion has occurred in the District of Chengfs. The soldiers refuse to abey instructions and are trying to bring force against the Gov- -@rmment control of the railway. The schools are closed in consequence. Business has-been suspended and un- fess the uprising is stopped it may lead to general rebellion, Conditions are pre- carious. : The missionaries are concentrating’ -here. Four foreign gunboats. provide all protection. Chengtu is quiet. The uprising is not at present directed against foreigners. . This is the first direct cable dispatch from Chengkiang, in the heart of West- ern China, since the recent alarming reports of a native uprising and the danger to a latge number of American missionaries in that remote section of China.

The cablegram is responsive to cable inquiries sent on Saturday, and gives reassurance that the missionaries who have sought refuge at Cheng-kiang, are not in immediate danger, although their situation continues to be serious as a result of the rebellion now in progress. riparia oe he gee n = uis tha lishes — gathered bv the Associated Press. — — — — — WASHINGTON AVENUF AT SEVENTH. ‘ Smart Clothes for Women, Misses and Girls.

The reply had been drawn up by Pre- mier Caillaux and the ministers were summoned specially to pass on it. It was understood before the cabinet met that the French note had been written in a spirit of conciliation, but expressed ‘a firm attitude in maintain- ing the position which France has as- sumed on questions of principle from which she could not depart. A semi- official not issued yesterday indicated that the German conditions would be refused. — KAISER QUOTED AS FOR PEACE New York Editor Tells of Talk- ing With Emperor Who Has No Idea of War. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—That the Gor- man Emperor and his most trusted ad- visers have never seriously considered going to war with France over the Moroccan question, is the assertion of C. B. Wolffram, editor of the German Herald of this city, who returned today on the North German Lioyd liner Kron- prinzessen Cecilie from Germany. Wolffram and Congressman Barthold' of St. Louis were specially commis- etloned to present to the German Empire the statue of Baron Steuben. The Emperor, according to Wolffram, dropped tie pose of “His Majesty’ in his relations with the representatives of the United States and conversed with them in the confidential manner of one man with another. He says he found Von Kiderlen Waechter a most communicative diplo- mat. Of a breakfast given by the For- eign Secretary and Congressman Barth- oldt, Wolffram says: ‘‘We had the ex- traordinary pleasure of hearing from His Excellency’s own lips the‘true version of thé Morocco trouble, from which I could draw but one conclusion that the stand which Germany has taken in the matter was fully justified by the action of France and that, in fact, there never had been any real danger of war.”’ Maj. Cecil Grenfell, a member of the firm of Morgan, Grenfell & Co., a Mmanch of the J. P. Morgan establish- ment, came on the same steamer. He said he would stay three months unless there was trouble between France and Germany. When he left he said mat- ters were close to the breaking point. BERLIN, Sept. 12.—No further devel- opments in the Moroccan affair are expected here pending the receipt of German note. French Ambassador, M. Cambon, is in Dresden with his family awaiting the next move of his Government. Although the public anxieties regard- ing the differences between France and Germany have been largely allayed, stocks opened somewhat weaker on the Bourse today, owing to the unsatis- factory course of the New York and Paris markets yesterday. A report printed in the foreign press that the Russian Government had with- drawn great sums of money from Ber- lin is authoritatively denied; and it is asserted that the withdrawal of the French credits from German houses has been much exaggerated in the re- ports. What ever withdrawals were made, were so slight, it is declared, that they played no important part in the recent stock market panic. — Soſt =TY | Iss CORNELIA FORBES Mi BROOKMIRE, daughter of Mrs. James H. Brookmire of St. Louis, and Howard F. Gillette of Chicago were married this afternoon at 38:30 o’clock at Brook Knoll, the summer residence of the bride’s mother, in Biddeford Pool, Me., according to news telegrams to the Post-Dispatch. The Brookmire home stands on a knoll facing the ocean, and is surrounded bys lawns and stone-walled gardens, the land falling in irregular terraces to the wa— ter’s edge, which made an ideal setting for the wedding. The Rev. Philip Schuyler of Benning- ton, Vt., a life-long friend of the fam- ily, performed the ceremony. The brie wore an elaborate creation fashioned of soft white satin chiffon and rare old family lace, with a full court train. Her lace veil was held in place by a real lace cap intermingled with orange blos- soms and she carried a shower of lilies of the\valley. She was attended by Miss Pranoes Joy of New York, Miss Mary Elizabeth Cook and Miss Lucy Hugh Hoblitzelle of St. Louls. During the. ceremony the bride’s bouquet was beld by her nephew, Alfred Partridge Hebard Jr. . Daniel B. Wentz of Philadelphia, a Harvard classmate of Mr, Gillette, served as best man and Eames Mac- Veagh, Harold McCormick, R. Ruther- ford McCormick,.

He hag very little defense, but his contention lowed by the adverse vote in Texas and this Maine vote, undoubtedly marks its subsidence in the country at large. Regulation and moderation are winning over intolerance. Of the states which experimented with state- wide prohibition before the war,-Maine is the only one in which the idea persisted. The movement of the last five years has added Georgia, Okla- homa, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee to the prohibition states, Maine, Kan- sas and North Dakota having previously adopted the plan. Wyoming has prohibition outside of in- corporated cities. Maine's vote will leave but eight instead of nine prohibition states. The people of the eight are tir- {ng of prohibition’s evasions and hypocrisies, with blind tigers substituted for regulated saloons. i a ———

A CLEVER COMBINATION. In Speaker Clark's eloquent response to the great ovaticn of his home yeople was the fol- lowipdz sentence: Riches take wings and fly away, but a fiewless recorg in a public career is an abid- ing consolation. I am proud of that record, and I am proud of the fact that my constitu- ents are proud of it. : Of course Speaver Clark didn’t mean to say he has a flawless public record. He is too mod- est to elaim perfection. Sut the guoted para- graph is a clever combination of words. i 3— ~~ w= So Mr. Taft will aot ride in a carriage drawn by two Missour! mules at Sedalia. His trip has enough political significance without taking any chances on what people may think. == —1 4 — i i MODEEBN HISTORICAL METHODS. A suggestion made dy Alexander Konta that the phonograph and cinematograph be used to supplement the invaluable work vf local] histor- ical societies, le of such obvious merit as to command instant and general recognition. The cinematograph, which literally pictures motion in three dimensions, has been so perfect- ed as to reproduce shades in color. The improved phonograph does a work with the vibrations of sound almost as delicate and exnressively modu- lated as the cilnematograph does with the vibra- tions of light. What written records, no mat- ter how graphically and with what art com- posed, convey to the understanding cannot be compared in vividness with what the one won- derful device does for the ear and the other for the eye. Both these inventions will have an Important influence un the art of writing history. What one of different versions of the same event is to be accepted and approved will matter little, when its appearance and accompanying sounds, its very substance, are faithfully preserved for us. St. Louls has an admirable local historical museum, devoted to the purposes for which it exists. An affiliated society specifically organ- ized to carry out Mr. Konta’s suggestion, could greatly expand its usefulness. A _ society of national scope is of course to be expected, but local societies would inevitably be the main dependence in the preservation even of incidents of genuine national importance. If moving pictures and graphophones had been in existence 180 odd years ago, we would depend on a local Virginia society for the most accurate reproductions of certain scenes at Yorktown;

on a Pennsylvania society for historic incidents in the Continental Congress; on a Massachusetts society to give posterity an idea of what Bunker Hill was like. 7 Reproductions of scenes, records of events an the voices of important personages are invested with great interest as the years roll on. Def- nue historical voues would atta: to the big “Aye” that renominated Cleveland by a- tion in St. Louis in 1888, to the bolt of the ail-

except for misconduct or breach of contract, on the ground that confidence in the good faith and fairness of the municipal authorities might be undermined and beneficial projects thus checked But this result might follow the adoption of the indeterminate franchise at present, which it sug« gests. Sfability and security are necessary to ob- tain fhe means to build railways. The city has not the power now under the existing charter to take over with fair compensation railways to which privileges have been granted. Without a guarantee against loss and of adequate com- pensation it is impossible to finance railway projects. It is folly to grant franchises on terms which preclude their use. Requiring fair terms from franchise seekers, the city must piay fair. No franchise should run more than 25 years and provision might be made that at stated pericds the city may take over the property by paying cost and a ‘ust interest on the invastment. By sarsful amendment tha Soutkern Traction franchises might be made advantagcous to St. Louis. But at the earliest practicable time genera!) rules end regulations for the use of the bridge by all lines, including the Terminal Association or any of its preprietary roads, whenever they are willing to conform to the city’s terms. Sound policy with respect to the municipal) bridge may be summed up in a sentence: Equal opportunity to all railroads, ex- clusive privilege for none. Inasmuch as Mark Twain said: “Heaven for climate, but hell for company,” what the Metho- dist minister who wants to know where the hu- morist is now has to determine is whether Mark preferred climate to company. hi ——3 a= ws eS

FRANELIN AVENUE’S SLOGAN WEEE. This week Franklin avenue not only has the/| goods, but is giving them away, in the shape of 500 prizes for that number of its 100,000 slogan buttons, distrfbuted to visitors with a free hand. The prizes are valuable, consisting of a silver tea service, china dinner set, brass beds and numerqus other things of beauty and use which are displayed in the windows of the merchants. With a gallant array of bunting, Franklin ave- nue shops are the greatest attraction in the city this week. It is not a common street fair. Fak- ers are barred and the celebration has been planned to do permanent good to that part of St. Louis. “Slogan Week” was a happy idea for Frank- lin avenue, and the slogan: “It’s a Saving to Buy on Franklin Avenue,” fits in well with the St. Louis slogan asserting that this city has the goods. Competition is still the life of trade among city streets, and that street deserves suc- cess whose merchants come together and adver- tise its advantages, backing up their word by deed in selling good goods at reasonable prices. Franklin avenue can become more famous than Lendon’s celebrated Cheapside, as it is much greater in actual size. As one of the longest, widest and straightest streets in a metropolis at the heart of the world’s most progressive con- tinent, there is no limit to the possible pros- perity of Franklin avenue. All St. Louis citi- zens will rejoice in the success of its slogan week celebration. = = ™

The blind tiger may now slink out of Maine and go elsewhere, if he can find a place where the prohibition superstition is fixed enough for him to lie down in peace for a while. = = 3 —_ i i HOSPITAL RESPONSIBILITY. The objects of the hospital bill of-April 1, 1910,

tions of benevolence and to centralize the author- ity over such institutions. So far as the first object is concerned, the bill has proved a dismal failure. That the insane re- ceive “no moré attention than a horse in the stable” and that the death rate in the institutions is “disgracefully high—higher than in any similar institutions in the world,” are admissions from was that he was under 16 years old. The proof was contradictory on this point, and, according to the State the proof showed that he was be- tween 18 and 19 years of age. As he appeared before the jury, this “little child” was about ¢ feet tall and weighed about 150 pounds, The press outside the State continually refer to him as a “little child,” and the people of the North, as well as the papers, are busily condemn- ing the courts ang the people of this State for condemning to death a “little child,” and are flooding the Governor's office with petitions from nearly every section in the Btate. Your paper is widely read, draws a large patronage from this State, and I believe you have fome interest in our welfare, Cannot you give these “oversympathetic” people the information that the “little negro” committed an atrocious murder, and that he was as large in size as any juror, lawyer or judge that tried his case? He did not kill his playmate—he tried to kill a small poy, and afterward killed the man who prevented him from so doing. To those who are so afraid of injustice in onr courts, let me say that criminals here have a fair trial, before a court and jury—not mobs—and there ‘s no use shedding so many “briny tears” ever the fear that we condemn little innocent babies to death. On account of ignorance of these facts above stated, Arkansas is being slandered. Why not investigate before judgment is pronounced? ROBERT i ROGERS, Prosecuting Attorney.

Written for the Post-Dispatch By R. Cornelius Raby. o. o. EDNA. DNA belongs to the present. She lives in the'house where I have my toom. I see her every day; and when I do not see her, I hear her.’ I hear her sing, I hear her thump the piano, and I hear her as she flies up and down the stairs. The first day I was in the house I heard a great noise coming from the top floor; it startled me, and I thought perhaps the roof had fallen in, but it was only Bdna coming downstairs. She had not fallen; that was simply her way of descending. She gets up early in the morning—oh, ever so early; and as I hear her thundering th the hall at dawn, I turn over in bed for another two hours’ sleep. But then, Edna goes to bed at nine, while [ stay up much later. When- ever there are any letters for me in the morning Edna slips them under my door; for she knows I will get up then, and I have promised her a penny/ for every letter she brings me in the morning. Sometimes I pick up a er that I should have had the evening before, andiI begin to suspect that Edna; is doing a little financiering. Edna often comes into my room. I have a little white ‘spits dog, a ‘*funsy’’ dog, Edna calls him; and I amjnot sure whether Edna comes to, see me or to play with my dog. Lest Sunday morning, when Edna had fon a} particularly fetching white frock, with a red sash, I took her in mygarms, and kissed her. ‘*Do you love me, Ednaf’’ I asked. ‘*Yes,’’ she replied, *‘but I love your little fuzzy dog, too.’’ I try my best to entertain Edna when she comet. I play my cornet for her, but she does not care much for that, unless I puff out my; cheeks while I play, and open my eyes very wide, and get red in the faces and then.she dances about in great glee, and says I’m a very funny man. Sometimes she brings me pencil and paper, and insists that Idraw’s picturesfor her. It is! useless for me to say that I cannot: drew, for: Edna assuressme that I can, and that my pictures are fine. Sometimes Edna and I go out for\s walk; aml one day we went tovrsee the anithals in Central Park. Edua’s knowledge of natural history, I/per- ceived, was very limited. The parrots, to her, were ‘‘chickens,’’ the ‘water- fowls were all ‘‘ducks,’’ and the hippopotamus was a ‘‘funny pig. * Bhe was greatly interested in the big elephant, but could not be induced, to ap- proach close enough to feed him peanuts, for fear he might ‘‘sting’”” her. I have a camera, and tried in vain to take Edna’s picture, She does not trust the little black machine I carry, which folds up with a click in a queer flat box, Edna, I think, is somewhat vain, and she fears my ¢am- era might spoil her beauty. The last timo I‘tried to induce her to pose for me, she declared that I would have to pay her 1000 first; but when I thrust my hand into my pocket to produce the thousand, she re- treated back of her mother’s skirts in great distress. I took Edna with me one night to hear a lecture. The leeturer told dome funny stories, there were beautiful colored views, and interesting motion pictures, all of which Edna enjoyed hugely, until suddenly the sandman came, and Edna sank into a sweet slumber, unconscious of lee- turer, stories, pictures and all; and she looked so sweet curled up in the cushioned seat that I found more pleasure in observing her than in watching the screen. One day I-found Edna dragging the cat around the kitchen by its tail, while that unfortunate creature announced its pain and displeasure : by piteous yowls. I came to = cat’s rescue, and proceeded to give Edna an impromptu lecture on hunianity to animals, explaining to her with | . great care that they feel pain just as keenly as she or I, and that we ought to be very kind to all dumb creatures, because they were not so wise, and could not help themselves so well as we. I did not realize then that the walls of my house were — A short time after that I went fishing in the bay, and brought home a nice string of fish. Edna saw them as they lay there on the kitchen table, eold and stiff, with open mouths and glassy eyes. She was eurious to know where I got them, and when I told her they came from the sea, she wanted to know how I caught them. Then I explained to her how I baited a hook at the end of a string and threw it into the water, how the hungry fish, looking for something to eat, would come along, take the baited hook in ite mouth, and so it was caught. I showed her the hook and line, and the bloody mouths of the fish, where they had been pierced by the hook. **Poor little fish}’’ Edna exclaimed, sorrowfully. Then, glancing at me with reproachful eyes, she delivered her opinion of me without reserve. I was real mean, she said, and I ought to be ashamed of myself, to hurt the poor fish so. Edna’s sorrew was so sin- cere, and I value her opinion so highly, that I felt genuine remorse for my cruelty. I asked her to forgive me, and I have not gone fishing since. It is not without Edna’s express consent that I number her among my sweethearts. There is a little boy next door who comes here to play with Edna, and if hie visits were not occasionally discoureged he would be here all the time, He gives Edna candy and apples and pictures, and she has even ac- cepted a little ring from him, set with a pretty” piece of red glass. I asked Edua once if this little boy was her sweetheart, but she resented: the idea vigorously. Then I asked her who her sweetheart was, and she came over and whispered in my ear: ‘*¥ou are,’’ Bust although I love Edna dearly, and I know that she loves me, she eauaot be my wife, sles; for Edne is but 6 years old, and I am—over 20, Osesa Typewrfter at Three.

Reflecting upon recent affairs, he assured’ himself of ,his hap- a s0 greatly desired, yet he won- dered mildly at his dearth of active emo- tion. Her strange behavior in abandon- ing him without valid excuse on his bridal eve aroused in him only a vagte and curious specuiation. Again, he found himgelf contemplating, with complaisant serenity, the incidents of her somewhat lively career. His perspective seemed to have been queerly shifted. As he st before a window near a corner, nis ears were assailed by a wax- ing clamor and commotion. He stood lose to the window to allow passage fto the cause of the hubbub—a procession [ of human beings, which rounded the cor- ner and ed in his direction. He perceived a salient hue of blue and a glitter of brass about a central figure of dazzling white silver, and a ed wake of black, bobbing figures. Oo ponderous policemen were con- du between them a woman dressed as if for the stage, in a short, white, satiny skirt reaching to the knees, pink *—* and a eort of bodice bright with relucent, armour-like scales. Upon her curly, light hair was perched, at a rollick ‘Z angle, a shining tin helmet. The costume was to be instantly recog- nized ag one of those amazing concep- tions to which competition has harried j the inventors of the spectacular beliet. One of the officers bore a long cloak upon his arm, which, doubtless, had been intended to vefl the candid attractions of their effulgent prisoner, but, for some’ reason, it not n Called into use, to the vociferous delight of the tail of the procession. Compelled by a sudden and vigorous movement of the woman, the parade halted before the window by which Lorison stood. He saw that she was young, one. at the first glance, was deceived by a sophistical prettiness of: her face, which waned before a more judicious scrutiny. Her look was bold and reckless, and upon her coyntenance, | where yet the contours of youth sur- rvived, were the fingermarks of old age’s jaled courier, Late Hours. The young woman fixed her unshrink- ing gaze upon Lorison, and called to sagt in the voice of the wronged ee raits: “Say! You look like a good fellow; come and put up the bail, won’t you? I've done * to get pinched for. It’s all a mistake. See how they’re treating | me! You won’t be sorry, if you'll help me out of this. Think o your sister or your girl being dragged along the streets this way! I say, come along now, like a good fellow.’ It may be that Lorison, in spite of | the unconvincing bathos of this appeal, showed a sympathetic face, for one of the officers t the woman’s side, and went over to him. Ats all right, sir,’’ he said, in a husky, confidential tone; “‘she’s the right party. We took her after the first act at the Green Light Theater, on a wire from the * of Police of Chicago. It’s onl ware or two to the sta- tion. ay bad, but she re- fused to ane clothes—or, rather,’’ added the officer, with a smile, ‘to put on some.

{from a somewhat rancid prowler along urged her forward; the delighted train of gaping followers closed up the rear; and the captive Amazon, accepti her fate, extended the scope of her maledic-. tions go that none in hearing might seem to be slighted. T there came upon Leorison an overwhelming revulsion of his perspec- tive. It may be that he had been ripe for it, that the abnormal condition of mind in which he had for so long ex- isted was already about to revert to its balance; however, it is certain that the events of the last few minutes had fur- nished the channel, if not the impetus, for the change. The initial determining influence had been so small a thing as the fact and manner of his having been approached by the officer. That agent had, by the Style of his accost, restored the ‘loit- erer to his former place in society. In an instant he had been transformed the fishy side streets of gentility into an honest gentleman, with whom even so lordy a guardian of the peace might agreeably oxdibage the compliments. This, then, first broke the spell, and set thrilling in him a resurrected long- ing for the fellowship of his kind, and the rewards of the virtuous. To what: end, he vehemently asked himself, was this fanciful self-accusation, this empty renunciation, this moral squeamishness through which he had been led to aban- don what was his heri e in life, and not beyond his deserts? Technically, he was uncondemned; his sole guilty spor was in thought rather than deed, and cognizance of it unshared by others. For what good, moral or sentimental, did he slink, retreating Ue the hedgehog from his own shadow, to and fro in this musty Bohemia that lacked even the picturesque? But the thing that struck home and set him raging was the part played by the Amazenian prisoner. To the coun- terpart of that astounding belligerent— identical at least, in the way of exper- ience—to one, by her own confession, thus far fallen, had he, not three hours since, been united in marriage. How desirable and natural it had seemed to him then, and how monstrous it seemed now! How the words of diamond thief number two’yet burned in his ears; “If you ever get a girl, she’ll have a picnic.”’ What did that mean but that women in- |stinctively knew him for one they could hoodwink? Still again, there reverber- ated the policeman’s sapient contribution to his agony. “A man these Aays and nights wants to know what His women folks are up to..“ Oh, yes, he had been a fool; he had looked at things from the wrong standpoint. But the wildest note in all the clamor was struck by pain’s forefinger, jeal- —** — at least, he felt that keen- est —@ mounting love unworthily — Whatever she might be, he loved her: he bore in his own breast his doom. A grating, comic flavor to his —— struck him suddenly, and laughed creakingly as he swung down the echoing pavement. An ‘impetuous desire to act, to battle with his fate, seized him. He stopped upon his heel, and smote his palms together triump- antly. His wife was—where? But there was a tangible link; an outlet more or less navibagle, through which his dere- lict ship of matrimony might yet- be safely towed—the priest! Like all imaginative men with pliable natures, Lorison was, when thoroughly stirred, apt to become tempestuous. With a high and stubborn indignation upon him, he retraced his steps to the intersecting street by which he had come. Down this he hurried to the cor- ner where he had parted with—an as- tringent grimace tinctured the thought— his wife. Thence still back he harked, folowing through an unfamiliar district his stimulated recollections of the way they had come from that preposterous wedding. Many times he went abroad, and nosed his way back to the trail, furious. At last, when he reached the dark, ca- lamitous bullding in which his maéneas had culminated, and found the black hallway, he dashed down it, perceiving no light or sound. But he raised his voice, hailing loudly; reckless of every- thing but that he should find the old mischief-maker with the eyes that looked too far away to see the disaster he had: light or sound. But he rai his voice, hailing londly; reckless of everythin ng but that he should find the old mischie maker with the eyes that looked too far the disaster he had and in the ligh Rogan stood, his in hand, with his finger marking phat ” orfed Lorison. “You are the man I want.

Girls, please 4on’t make any mistake sient this. It is good for you to choose some occupation or profession which appeals to you and become skilled in it. If you are very fond of your ideal for you to continue with it after work, and circumstances permit, it is your marriage. But if you love a man don’t weigh the delights of ‘‘work’’ against a wedding ring. The solitary toilers, whether they be men or women, can only share in life’s second best. It may be interesting and excellent fare, but it is not the banquet tablo. For so many years the girl who didn’t marry was despised and mocked. Now the pendulum swings to the other extreme, and a young woman 1s at- cused of wasting her ‘‘God-given talents’’ because she prefers to sing in the mursery instead of on the concert stage. A *‘life work’’ is deemed a more precious thing than a lapful of children. Don’t marry for a home. Learn to work; do good work, and take care of yourselves till the right man comes. But when he does come, if it is.a ques- tion of giving up the old ‘‘job’’ to become his wife, please remember that you’re being promoted. The First Visit.

One Victory T oday Will Give Yankees Tennis Supremacy NEW YORK, Sept. 123.—One victory in the two singles matches this afternoon at the West Side Tennis Club will win the International Tennis Tournament for America and entitle this country, instead of Great Britain. to send a team to Australia in December to challenge for the Davis world’s trophy. Success in the one doubles match yesterday gave the British team one point against the two already scored by the Americans in the singles last Saturday. While the possi- bility of an even break today was con- veded, the American team was confident } of winning at least one match and the series, Today the singles players will swap op- ponents. Wm. A. Larned will play Arthur J. Lowe, the Englishman whom Maurice BE. McLoughlin defeated Saturday, and McLoughlin will face Charles P. Dixon, the captain and star of the visiting players, whom Larned already has beaten. Only a reversal of form, it is , believed, The Mc- Loughlin-Dixon match was the one most in doubt. The defeat of the American doubles team yesterday was attributed largely to the fact that they lacked practice to- gether. The better generalship and gen- eral superiority of the British team, how- ever, was cheerfully conceded. CENTRAL OARSMEN TO BREAK TRAINING Mike Begley, coach of the Central Rowing Ciub crews, declares that if the Westerns and Mound Citys want to arrange a final match race, they will have to speak fast, as next Sunday the Centrals are due to break training, and the Hibernian rowing instruct- or of the wearers of the blue jerseys says that it will be impossible to get his men out for work after that date. The Central Rowing Club has its annual fish fry sched- uled for Sunday at a park across from the club. There is talk of a four-oared shell race be- tween the Westerns, Centurys and Mound itys. | awk Hurls Them Over as Though He Might Become a Real Twirler * A: MONG the new Browns who were MELA «introduced to the Sportsman's Park | i “% patrons Monday was young Mr. wk, a pitcher frqm the Burlington ntral Association) team.

LOUIS P ORL FOLLOWS TRIAL ~OFBLM.G STAR Oliver Takes On Three Fighters to Prove He Can Box. Ed There was more real action abd tween local boxers at the Business Men's Gymnasium, Monday afternoon, than will be seen at many a boxing show. There was one knock down, a tusions and scratches inflicted before the fun was over. Hddie Oliver, a lightweight fighter, who bears the marks of many a ring endurance contest, and who says that he used to be sparring partner of Jim FPiynn, tried to beat all of the local glove wielders. As a starter he took on Tim MoCarthy, the middle- | weight wrestler and boxer. Oliver’s style of fighting was made to order for McCarthy. McCarthy set Oliver down on the gymnasium floor in the second round with a right clip to the jaw that had enough force behind it to stop a mule. Oliver bounced right up and went after Mc- Carthy, and for a few minutes there was the hottest kind of a mix up until the time-keeper got busy and McCarthy was forced to take a rest. Sturdy Oliver Battles Weakly. Weakly, a young man with a punch. next essayed to remove Oliver's head. Weakly landed not once but repeat- edly. All he did was to rouse Oliver to a very mean mood. Oliver waded ir, in the second session, and Weakly, vy the narrowest kind of margins, escaped being put to sleep. The sound of the master of ceremonies’ voice calling a halt was the most welcome music in the world to him. Oliver still wanted more, and Harry Wade was trotted out. Wade weighs only 120 pounds or so, but he is a game youngster. He walked right into Oliver, jabbed him about four times with his left hand and made Oliver angry. Oliver tried his besc to put the little fellow out, but Wade kept well covered up and blocked most of the good night wal- lops sent his way. Every time a punch would land Wade was getting away from it, and little damage was done. Oliver Is Game. Oliver showed himself to be a boy who can go a route and take a walloping. A left hand finds his nose readily, however, and he hes the scars to show that he has stopped many a left jab with his pro- montory. Oliver claims to have fought Matty Baldwin and other crack Eastern fighters. Leo Kelly, the local lightweight, watched Oliver work out Monday, and de- clared that Oliver is a good one, MAJOR LEAGUES GET TWO ST.

This is Howe, a 240-pound __ TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1911, SS - be Te GANT HOWE FOR — WORK Washington Football Star Looks Very Good to Louis U. Coach. WILL WEIGH 240 POUNDS Four Regulars of Last Season Are Still Holding Out on Coach. An ineffacable smile Milumines the visage of John’ Bender, football coach of the St. Louls University eleven. It was on his face when he arrived here Aug. M and it was still there last night, after a squad of 17 men, mostly vet- erans of last season, had their first little workout at the campus. He hopes it will be there when the sun goes down on the field at Champaign, Ill, after the game with State University eleven at that place, Oct. 21. And the univer- sity, to a man, believes it will, The smile is there notwithstanding some early discouragements. Bender had hoped to have all his men lined up this season—that is, all of his 10 sur- viving regulars of last year. Monday Bender smilingly announced that there are two serious balkers—Ray Dockery, the clever and heady quarterback, whose boot won at least two games for Ben- der, last season; and big Schloemer, one of the Une stars of 1910. Both men, complain tnat their school work is so exacting they do not see how they can get out for practite, this year. Plenty of Substitutes, Stadtherr boys, too, are dubious quan- tities; although Bender hopes to have them in the lineup. Thus, four out of 10 vets are doubtful reliances. Dockery and Schloemer, Bender thinks, can be induced to appear, but he is not worried much as he, has abundant talent for both positions, while in the drop-kick- ing line Maguire has always been es- teemed the equal of Dockery. Little Carroll’s splendid condition, this year, makes the quarterback position a matter of small worry to Bender. He would have liked, however, to put the old machine of last season into the field against Illinois. This would have en- abled him to use his old plays, perfected last year, and would have given him a fine- chance to put a finished eleven in four men out of his last year’s lineup, Bender will have to do some spurting to get into shape to beat an eleven that claimed the conference title, last sea- son. Cause for Rejoicing. To counterbalance the worries of Ben- and keep the'smile in place, there is giant, who was in school last year, but who was ineligible, last season, under the one-year rule. He had previously been a pupil of Coach Cayou, at Wash- ington University, and his name at the Pikeway school ranks with that of Du Guesclin in France. He surely was one terror. And Bender is planning & surprise with him, Last year Howe, to keep in shape, . worked out with the football team. Bender watched him run, and declares that, with all his weight, this giant out- footed the entire squad in a sprint. From this Bender has deduced a scheme. If he gets his old line into place he plans to put the Howe man-mountain in the back field. If he does, the opposition will have to play the eleven men where he hits to stop him. With great speed that tre- — weight would make the immortal Abijah French, of Cochems’ day, fade into the pigmy class. The follewing men reported for work at St. Louls V. Park: Veteranse—Zachritz, Howe, Capt. Earl Painter, John Maguire, John Erhardt, R. BE. Moran, Bob Leacock, Leo Maginn, Maffit Bates and Percy Carroll. Re- crultse—A. B, Lansing, W. C. Vernon, O. M. Paquin, James MoCafferty, Ed Maher, Francis Stoegerer, Frank McManus, Alozo Alexander and Ollie Anderson. Lansing One Good Recruit, Lansing is the star of this flock, He is a husky tackle, who worked under Henry Lindeay at Missouri Valley. He weighs about 185 ponds. Vernon is a big fat lad of 240 pounds, whe played for Lebanon High School last season. The workout was perfunctory, the men doing little beyond passing the ball and formation work, more to get up a sweat than anything else. Bender says his squad will increage daily until he hopes to have 60 men in unil- form. His one fear is that his outfit will be overcenfident, owing to euccess last sea- son. He has a hard schedule before him this year, and an even break with low scores would be no disgrace for any team in the West. a. _ “se “Tips and Cues t, played on Cardinal Recruit Highly Praised by Dallas Club Owner Outfielder Forsythe Has Chance to Win Regular Berth, Ac- cording to Joe Gardner. The close of the season in the Texas League has caused a march northward of players and magnates of that organization. Chief aniong those who are in St. Louis are Secre- tary Brice Hoskins of the league, a fortner St. Louisan; Joe Gardner, owner of the Dallas club, and Doak Roberts, former presi- dent of the Houston team. Gardner is here principally to look over the talent in the Trolley leagues. He has devel- oped severa) stars from the St. Louis sem!i- professional organizations. Gardner says nice things about Outfielder Forsythe of his team, whe was drafted by the Cardinals. ‘In Forsythe Manager Bresnahan gets a player who has a grand chance to make good in the National League,’’ said Gardner to the Post-Dispatch. ‘‘He’s only about 24 years old and isn’t past the developing stage. He was one of the stars of my team and the only reason other clubs didn’t purchase him was the fact that he was up once before and turned back. Managerg don’t easily take to those kind of players. “Johnny McGraw had Forsythe a year ago and tried him as a first baseman. He won't do at that position, as he proved with our club, but as an outfielder he’s a different per- former. He can hit, field. throw and run, He owns a batting average of something like .820 in our league, and I look for him to show Bresnahan a thing or two.'’ — — — FOOTBALL OUTLOOK PROMISING AT YALE NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. .2.—The preliminary practice of the Yale foot- ball team for 1911 will begin Thursday and the men have already begun to arrive. Trainer Mack and his assistant are in town today and Capt. Howe is expected’ hourly, with several more of the candidates for the eleven. Special stress will be laid in the early practice on passing and handling the ball and the preliminary work will be a continuation of the summer practice, all candidates at the close of college in June having been given a football with instructions to perfect themselves in the handlings of kicks and passing. The outlook for a first-class team this sea- son is bright. COACH STAGG WILL LOSE THREE STARS CHICAGO, Sept. 12.—Eberle ; Wilson and Ralph Young, quarterback and full- back of the 1910 University of Chicago football team, will not wear the ma- roon this fall. The loss of these men which constitutes one of the hardest blows the Chicago eleven has received became known yesterday when. Coach A. A. Stagg began active work on his 1911 team. Wilson has been ruled inelig- ible because of absence from the univer- sity last spring, and Young has decided to remain at homé. Not a single mem- ber of the 1910 regular back field will be on hand for the coming season, { BARNES U. MAY NOT HAVE GRIDIRON TEAM Barnes University, which for two years had @ strong football team, when Eddie Cochems was at the athletic helm at that school, will hardly get out an eleven this season. No schedule has been arfanged and the team, if one was organized, ppuld have a lot of trouble in obtaining g@ ps. The uni- versity has all the suits. | jes and other football war clothes and thi may be used for independent games befor the season is overy Cochems is now in New Y ; and, accord- ing to word received in Bt. souls, there is net a chance of his coming to St. Louis this season, to again try to put Barnes on the map in the football tine.

PROMOTERS WOULD BALK Pacific Coast Clubs Would Prob- ably Pay No Attention to New York Commission, NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Following the Wells-Brown battle m New York, & pro- posal was made by certain Gotham sportsmen to have the State Athletic Commission, which now controls box- ing in the Empire State, adopt a revised scale of weights which would raise the scaling marks for all classes to con- form with those set forth by the Na- tional Sporting Club of London. They tried this game.in the East on several occasions, but other sections of the country itn which boxing flourished failed to respond with enthusiasm and the scheme fell through. Now, with the commissioin behind them théy have a far better chance of success. If the plan goes through it will work a lot of hardship on the majority of Ameri- |} can boxers; while pleasing a_ select few. The English bantam limit is 118 at 2; feather, 126 at 2; light, 135 at 2; welter, 148 at 2, and middleweight, 160 at 2. Im- agine Johnny Coulon being obliged to scale at 118 at 2 o’clock, when he can go lighter than 115 pounds ningside if necessary. Abe Attell goes out of his class frequently to meet lightweights in 10-round bouts, but when his title ts in question he holds strictly to the 122- pound ringside limit, as was evidenced | when he recently refused to meet Jose Rivers unless the Mexican made that figure. Wolgast can do 128 at 3 if needful. If the proposed new ruling be adopted he would find himself? pitted against men who would enter the ring weighing easi- ly 140 pounds. There are ‘scores of youngsters fighting their way up the ladder who would be handicapped in like fashion. Wouldn’t Bother the Welters. As regards the welters, it would not matter so much, fo rthere aré few real welters of any account now performing in the ring, whless we list some of these so-called lightweights who are after the scalps of little chaps like Wol- gast. It is the small men whg will suf- fer if the New York Commission insists upon aping British ring styles. The idea ig that international matchts could be easier arranged and decided under the London rulings. But the fact remains that the National Sporting Club recognizes no man as a champion of England in any class unless he has won a Lord Lonsdale belt emblematic of the title of his division. And none but En- glish boxers are allowed to compete for the token in question. So long as such an unfair condition prevails it certainly looks as though we ought to ignore British ring rulings instead of bowing to the dictation of the autocrats of King George's realm. Meanwhile, how about the boxing magnates on the coast? Is it likely that the California promoters, whe control the long distance battles, which are the real test ef championship material, will allow the New York State Commission to tell them where they must get off?

mL cTET STOCKS SHOW MINOR GAINS Foreign Selling Checked After an Early Drive and Rally Follows. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—The Even- ing Post, in ‘its copyrighted financial review today, says: ‘It would not be misrepresenting the situation to say that the financial market settled down today to a pos- ture of passive and contented bewil- derment,. “The news of the week has seemed to be made up of inconsistent events and unanswered questions—among them the relation of the German Stock Bxchange movement to the prospect of war. The real attitude of American lJabor, and the connection (if any) between the action of grain and cotton prices and the Depart- ment of Agriculture's estimates. “This morning’s business began on the European exchanges with considerable cheerfulness, which was reflected in the American market and which caus¢:i another advance in New York exchange prices. “From this there followed the usual reaction, in which all the improvement was lost; then a slow recovery and a fractional relapse, which left most prices little changed from yesterday. “Abroad and at home the, one vol- unteered explanation of things seemed to be that markets hoped for the best, but would not move until “Morocco” was officially disposed of. Perhaps if Morocco had been suddenly swept off the board today, the markets would have found something else which must be waited for—the next session of Par- liament, for instance, or the presiden- tial election of 1912. *“But it has certainly not grown easier with the lapse of days to judge the Franco-German matter from’ the markets. On the day when all the news seems to favor peace and amity, financial Berlin falls into convulsions. On the day when it is learned that the two nations are as far apart as ever, the markets re- cover smilingly. : “Developments in the foreign money markets were interesting. The flow of money from London to Paris continued on a large scale, being re- flected in a further fall of 2% cen- times in Paris exchange on London. This makes a fall of 4% centimes in the Paris exchange rate within two days, and shows that the shifting of credits in this period must have reached an enormous total. “The advance of % per cent in dis- counts at Paris carri the open mar- ket rate up to the level of the bank rate which is 3 per cent. foreign exchange here was interesting, the tone being strong, and indicating that some large operations were going on in connection with the lending of money at Berlin by banks here. “The demand for exchange, growing out of the heavy trading in stocks by foreign operators, was again extensive, but the fact that stocks had been sold yesterday for foreign account, and that large purchases had been made by the same.interests, tended to balance the account. “The banks here sent a good deal of money away, but the demand from bor- rowers here was not at all large, and the lenders made no eae. to press their offerings on a mafke

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-—The Arrival here of the new American dreadnaught Utah, to join her sister ship, the dread- naught Florida, now nearing completion at Brooklyn Navy Yard, again brings up the question of the relative position of our American sea fighters as com- pared with the navies of the other great powers. While: naval. experts . concede that Great Britain has the largest aggregate of fighting ships, with Germany and the United States in.a close race for second place, yet it is equally conceded by these experts that the two new Ameri- can dreadnaughts now here outrank in size and strength anything afloat in the British and German. navies at the pres- ent time. The British naval monsters, Lion and Orion will exceed in tonnage and strength the American ships, but nel- ther of these leviathans is as yet in service.
