The course of 7 fe market yesterday afternoon had * ie@icated that the heavy selling of steel stocks was over and the im- provement was helped by the state- ment of Chairman Gary relative to the Government's dissolution suit.

WATER METERS. OPPOSED BY TH REALTY DEALERS President O’Reilly Says Protest Will Be Made by Exchange Against Wall Plan. “WORST THING FOR CITY” He De€lares That to Sell Water by Measure Would Prevent Million Population. A protest against the general installa- tion of water meters in St. Louis, as proposed by Water Commissioner Wall, will be issued by the Real Estate Ex- change early next week. President Ger- ald B. O’Reilly told a Post-Dispatch re- porter Saturday that the real estate dealers were unanimously against the water meter system. Water Commissioner Wall proposes to put water meters in all flats, residences and business and manufacturing estab- lishments, not already equipped with meters. It is estimated 102,000 meters will be required, and that the cost will be about $20 for each meter, including installation, making an aggregate out- lay of $9,000. Commissioner Wall re- lies upon Section 2488 of the Municipal Code for authority to install the meters, without further legislation. This section gives the Commissioner the option of in- stalling meters whenever, in the judg- ment of the Assessor and Collector of Water Rates, they are deemed neces- sary. “The installation of water meters in St. Louis would be absolutely the worst thing that could be done for the city, and would prevent us from ever getting & million population,” said President O’Reilly.¢ “So many members of the Real Estate Exchange have e3 ressed their opposition to Water Commussioner Wall’s plan, that I have decided to call a meeting for some day next week to is- sue a statement showing why the meter system would be destructive to the best interests of the city. Little Loss in License, “To put the meters in now, after the people have become accustomed to the flat rate, would be nothing short of an outrage. The plumbing of practically all of the houses in the city would have to be reconstructed at great expense to property owners. In flats and apart- ment houses occupied by more than one tenant there is but one water connec- tion. To attach meters to determine the quantity of water used by each tenant would require additional connections and plumbing, as well as from two to a dozen or more meters. “Property owners now, being more re- sponsible than tenants, who are coming and going all the time, pay the water licenses. Under the meter system it might become necessary for the tenants themselves to pay the ticense, according to the quantity of water they used. There would be constant losses to the city from irresponsible tenants, where there is comparatively lttle loss now from the responsible property owners. Would Ruin the Lawns. “Omaha, Kansas City and Denver have tried the water meters. In those cities you will find barren lawns, while tn St. Louis, where we have had no meters, you will find beautiful, well-kept lawns, the pride of the city as well as of the iucividual owners. To change the sys- tem would result in destruction to many of the most beautiful lawns, and a con- sequent destruction of the city’s pride. The beautiful lawns of St. Louis are a country- Wide advertisement for the city.’° Raymond G. Scott, real estate dealer, scid that eventually the property owners would have to stand the expense of in- stalling the meters: The Water Depart- ment would have to get its money from the property oWners to pay for the in- stallation of the meters, he said, so that in the end the property owners would have to foot the bill. “This additional expense might result in an increase in the tax rate,” said Scott. “It was only by strict economy that the Comptroller was able to pre- vent an increase in the tax rate this year. A low tax rate is one of the best advertisements a city can have. It would be very destructive to the inter- ests of the city to saddle upon the prop- crty owners the $2,000,000 expense of put- ting in the water meters. Kndless Complications. “We have become accustomed to the flat rate. To change it to a meter rate now would create chaos. “If the city has insufficient pumping capacity to supply the demand, the best thing to do is to increase the pumping station's capacity to meet the demand. “The water meters would work a hardship upon both owners and tenants, and probably result in endless comiplica- tions. We are getting along very well under the flat rate. The people are sat- ‘isfied with conditions, and no change should be thought of at this time.” Edward Gocke, real estate dealer, said that Water Commissioner Wall's own figures showed that thére would be no economy ‘in putting in water meters.

Lies on Floor as Allen Garland Did, After Mrs. Zee Rulge McRee Shot Him. MAKES DEFENDANT QUAIL

Louisiana Woman to Plead Self Defense, the Cross-Examina- tion Indicates. OPELOUSAS, La., Oct. 28—A dra- matic reproduction, ef the shooting of Garland, as the State sees it, apparent- ly made a profou impression upon the jury in the trial of Mrs. Zee Rulge Mc- Ree for the murder of Allen Garland. While the accused, her husband and her 8-year-old Gaugnmter and the dead man’s parents and grandmother looked on, Albert Garland, brother of Allen, put on Allen’s bloody shirt and lay down upon the floor of the courtroom, as his brother had been found lying

GUDGE PAVEY.....

upon the floor of Mrs. McRee’s home. Before this strange demonstration took place, an attorney took some chalk and drew upon the floor a diagram ‘of the McRee house. On this was indicated where the dead man’s body was found, where there was an overturned chair found. The theory of the prosecution is that Garland was sitting in the chair when Mrs. McRee slipped up behind him and shot him in the back; that he fell face downward upon the floor and that the woman shot him twice more in the back as he lay. While the brother and lawyers were acting out all this, Mrs. McRee looked on in an agony of nervousness, and the jury appeared intensely interested. Although the grandmother, Mrs. Henry. L. Garland Sr., is 78 years old, she gave her testimony yesterday with the vigor of a woman but half her years. She told of going to the yard of the McRee home and finding Mrs. McRee there. “She said to me,’’ Mrs. Garland testi- tred, ** ‘I shot Allen Garland because ne insuited me. There is no need of going in to see if he is dead, for he is. If shot him three times.’ ’’ On the cross examination of all the witnesses, the attorneys for the ac- cused woman indicate their contention will be that Mrs. McRee shot Garland in defense of her honor. ‘FAIR WEATHER IS PROMISED DESPITE CLOUDY MORNING BPs TEMPERATURES.

Fwald of St. Louis and Mrs. Rosa Da- mon, brother and sister respectively of the late Louis P. P. Ewald, the mil- lionaire iron master of: this city, today brought suit to break the will of the latter, naming the Columbia Trust Co., executor of the will, three alleged il- legitimate children and Ellen Golden, other of the childreny who now lives Detroit, as defendants. The petition, which was filed by Kohn, Baird, Sloss & Kohn, gives the names of children as follows: Philip Golden, aged 16, alias Philip Ewald; Helen Golden, aged 13, alias Helen Josephine Ewald, and Sterling Seamon, aged 8, alias Ster- ling Donald Ewald. The action to break the will, which bequeathed about $4,900,000 to Ellen Golden and her three children, is de- scribed in three petitions. The first is an arneal from the order of court pro- bating wvald’s will, this being based on the alleged insanity of deceased, also that the paper is not the last will and testament of Louis O. Ewald, and that he died without legal issue. It is also asserted in this petition that Harry F. Ewald and Mrsi Rosa Damon are his true heirs at law. The petition further alleges that the testator was insane at the time of adop- tion of children and ever since, and that he was unduly influenced and made the victim of fraud on the part of Ellen Golden, mother of children.

~ GITY CLUBHEARS HENRY GEORGE ON THE SINGLE TAX New York Congressman Speaks at Luncheon on His Way East From the Northwest.

VANCOUVER TESTS IDEA

Reform Tax System Adopted There by Degrees and Mayor Says the People Like It. -

Addressing the City Club at its lunch- eon Saturday afternoon, Henry George, Congressman for the Seventeenth New York District, said that in his opinion Missouri will be one of the first states to adopt the single tax idea which made George’s father famous. The speaker was intoduced by Ss. L. Moser, secretary of the Equitable Taxa- tion League. At the Planters Hotel George told a reporter for the Post- Dispatch that he ‘had just returned from the Northwest, where he found the single tax ideas of his father in practical use at Vancouver, B.C. “In that city,” he said, “single tax was adopted by degrees. First 50 per cent of the personal tax was removed, then 75 per cent, and now all has been dispensed with, and Mayor Taylor told me the experiment was so satisfactory that Vancouver citizens would not listen to any proposition of returning to the old system. ‘In many other cities of the Canadian Northwest they are experimenting with single tax, and it is only a question of & short time when all of them will adopt the system. Depression in Seattle. “In Seattle I found some business de- pression, the result, they think, of a reaction after their big exposition. The single tax plan there is incorporated in what is known as Griffith's ordinance, which is now before the local govern- ment for consideration, with excellent chances of adoption. Oliver Erskine, president of the Council, is circulating a petition for signatures and finds a general sentiment favorable to the change. ’ “I am chairman of the sub-committee on taxation in the District of Columbia, and at the next session of Congress I will try to get a single tax bill adopted for the district. Object Lesson for Cities. “Aside from being sure that it will be a good thing, I féel it would prove an object lesson for the cities of the United States and enable them to see how the plan works in the national capital. “The Northwest is strong for the ref- erendum, recall and suffrage for wom- row tol¢.1 don't see why women should be es adjo'jenied the ballot. They form half the te a population and if they. are allowed to \ \ & tn Me : ie ty Po

fe vote it will certainly ‘bé a good ‘thing for the single tax movement. This idea appe*'= strongly to those who have the economic welfare of the country at heart and I am confident that if women were allo ved to vote a large majority of them would at once line up with the advocates of the single tax.” OPERATOR Rebecrep OF MAKING HANDBOOK Gambling Squad Detains Dudley A. p weeeagton on a Common Law Bond. Dudley A. Washington, a telegraph operator 38 years old, was arrested by the gambling squad Friday evening at 707 Clark avenue, where he opened an ‘ office on his arrival here a week ago,

BS ava. and is held, under a common law bond, rediron a general charge of “suspected of handbooking.”’ The detectives say they acted on in- formation that W'ashington had come to St. Louis as a representative of C. J. Enright, a Cincinnati bookmaker, to put the St. Louis handbook men “out of business.’’ It was reported, they say, that he won $1500 from an East St. Louis man on a bet covering a Ken- tucky horserace. Washington admits he came to St. Louis under instructions from Enright, but says he has received no further orders and has not placed or accepted a single bet. Washington was released on a bond ' pigned by Sam Epstein and accepted by Judge Wilson A. Taylor. The charges against him will be dismissed Monday if convincing evidence is not ready by that time. Washington says be has been stopping at 6102 Easton avenue. ,

Judge Gary said: : “T believe disclosure of all the facts will show that the suit ought to be decided in favor of the’ corporation on its merits, and that it will be ' established that in the organization of the Unitéd States Steel Corpora- tion those in charge had no intention of creating a-monopoly or restrain- - ing trade.” President Taft said: “The statutes must be enforced, regardless of calamity howlers, and I will do everything in my power to enforce them. We cannot have the greatest prosperity for the greatest number so long as illegal monopolies exist.’’ William J. Bryan said: “I believe in criminal punishment of those who violate the anti-trust law, but I be- iieve the Supreme Court’s decision in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases makes it practically impossible to

But a few days ago he did say: “I was intimately acquainted with the situation in New York. I wish it un- derstood that I acted purely on my own initiative and thaf the responsi- bility for the act was solely mine.” When the former president made these remarks he was defending his attitude in virtually permitting the Steel Trust to monopolize the val- ues and properties represented by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. Attorney-General. Wickersham, in his bil] of complaint against ee steel corporation says: “ The President (Roosevelt) was not made fully acquainted with the state of affairs in New York relevant to the transactions as they existed. If he had been Iully advised he would have known that a desire to stop the panic was not the sole moving cause, but that there was also a desire and a purpose to acquire the control of a company that had recently as- ‘sumed a position of potential compe- tition of great significance,

the President's chances of re-election and that having served its purpose, it will, after the election, be dismissed. It was to be expected, considering the long delay on the part of the Depart- ment of Justice in bringing suit,, that many would suspect the sincerity of the administration. However, the ad- ministration can silence all these criti- cisims, if it wants to do so, by taking an action that would remove all doubt as to its desire to trust laws. “If the’: Attorney-General will insti- tute criminal proceedings against J. P. Morgan, E. H. Gary and H. C. Frick, the arch-principals in this violation of the anti-trust law, then the public will know that this is an honest effort to uphold our laws, which should be en- forced against the high and mighty as well as against the poor and lowly. “Tf the department instituted criminal prosecution against the packers in Chi- cago and demanded jail sentences against the Window Glass Trust offi- cials, why, then, if it is sincere in this instance, does it not resort to this rem- edy that would effectually put an end to such flagrant violations of the law as the Government’s bill charges against the Steel officials, personally and indi- vidually. Civil Suit Poor Vote Winner. “Inasmuch as some of the acts of the conspirdtors to violate this law were’ committed: here in Washington when Messrs. Gary and Frick hoodwinked former President Roosevelt, 1.am in- clined to believe that the courts here would have jurisdiction of their offense. “If the Presid’ 1t or Attorney-General Wickersham will direct that the law be enforced in all its parts and these criminals are brought to book, the administration can instantly © silence those who are inclined to impugn’ its good faith. If nothing in this direction is done, the suit will gain but few votes for President Taft in 1912, and present indications are that he will be sorely in need of them.” The view is taken here that if any criminal action is to come it will be after the Government has won the first round of the civil fight in the lower feourt. It is contended by friends of Mr. Wickérsham that he wants to be sure of his case before proceeding and that he can make sure by the suit in equity. At the Department of Justice it was said that the filing of the suit in equity did not prevent the Government from proceeding criminally. DICKINSON EATS/ WITH PRESIDENT Taft Declnies to Say Whether Suit Against Steel Trust Was Discussed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2%—Andrew Car- negie is entertaining no fears, his friends say, as to the future of his phil- anthropies because of the Government's suit in dissolution of the Steel Corpora- tion.

Tt was said at Carnegie’s home that he had no statement to make upon the situation. It was not intimated whether he had given any thought to the possi- ble consequences to his benefactions, but it was said by persons closely asso- clated with him In business that there would be time and to spare for any plans that might be necessary: before the suit had run its course.

In the case of the other institutions, however, the situation is somewhat dif- ferent.

~ _ 2 EI Sale of Water by Meter Is Opposed - by the > Realty Men Continued From Pase One o.- NER Ee IF M.CRUNDEN IS. DEAD: 32 YEARS HEAD

to say nothing of the additional cost of maintaining the meter system, It seems to me it would be a very poor investment for the 7" to install the meters.”’ WALL POINTS OUT METER ECONOMY Avoidance of heavy expense for en- lcrging the waterworks and a reduction in the cost of water to consumers are the advantages which Water Commis- sioner E. E. Wall contends would result from the compulsory installation of meters throughout the city. While not able, Commissioner Wall says, to estimate the sum necessary to increase the capacity of the waterworks to meet legitimate demands and the waste, he is sure that it will reach mil- lions. By preventing leaks and extrav- agant use of water through the introduc- tion of meters, the need of enlargement would be postponed for many years, Commissioner Wall says. The saving thus effected in the expense of opera- tion would tend to decrease in the aver- age cost of water for all purposes. “In view of the storm of protest which has been raised by the suggestion that the city ought to be metered,’’ Commis- sioner Wall told a Post-Dispatch re- porter, “it may be that if we under- take the reform at all it will be only by easy stages. Meters Save 30 Per Cent of Water. “It is my judgment that not more than two-thirds of the connections should be equipped with meters. That would mean a total of 73,000 meters. There are already 7500 meters in use. “The experience of other cities in which meters have almost universally been installed is that there was an im- mediate reduction of from 30 to 50 per cent in the amount of water pumped and in a corresponding lowering of the rates. “In St. Louis 25 per cent of the 27,- 000,000,000 gallons of water pumped an nually is wasted. This forces the city to spend every year several hundred

thousand dollars without any return.] Worse than that, it _.will soon compel the enlargement of the waterworks’ ca- pacity at an expense of several millions. “If we sold water through meters I feel sure that our experience would be that of other cities which have adopted that plan and that in addition to a sav- ing in the present expense of operation we would delay for a good many years the doubling of our capacity. “The intention was to begin next year the introduction of meters wherever {t would be advisable to install them and continue this policy until about two- thirds of the connections were equipped. Between $3,000,000 and $4,000,0w ard three years’ time would be required to carry out this program. City Would Pay for Meters. “The meters would cost on an average $20 each, but this would be borne by the city, save in a relatively few instances. Statistics recently gathered show that in cities of more than 100,000 population where less than 2% per cent of the con- sumers bought their water through me- ters, the consumption per capita was 180 gallons. In those cities in which more than 75 per cent vf the water was pur- veyed through meters the consumption {was but 71 gallons per capita. *‘Last year our expenses of operation and collection together with the interest on the waterworks bonds was $1,160,217. On that basis It cost the city 4% cents a thousand gallons to put the water in the consumer’s premises and collect his bill. If there was a waste of 2% per cent, as I contend there was, the city was obliged to spend $290,000 for which it received no compensation. Meters could be provided for practically two- thirds of the connections with an annual outlay not in excess of that figure. The economy of use following the introduc- tion of meters would lower the cost of operation and collection and would de- fer the rebuilding or extension of the waterworks. That is why I believe it would be an advantage to every con- sumer and taxpayer to have them. No Depreciation Charge. “But as a matter of fact the city is not making the proper charges against the waterworks. Assuming the value of the plant to be $22,000,000, we should al- low 3 per cent for depreciation, interest on the investment and interest on the outstanding bonds. These charges added to the cost of operation, maintenance | and collection would make our annual expenses $2,590,217, even without taxes and insurance. “Taking the actual amount of water pumped in 1910-11 as a basis of calcula- tion, the expense to the city was .0932 cents per” 1000 gallons, almost twice as much as we now figure. Any private corporation would make these charges. “The fixed charges are increased but slightly whether we serve a consumer with 1000 or 10,000 gallons a day. The ad- ditional cost would be the reading of the meters and the collection of bills if the consumption were sold by gallons in- stead of a flat rate. The larger con-

SyRur-fias Eur ‘Sea sumer, of course, would benefit directly by the introduction of meters.’’ Up toe Board, Assessor Says. Assessor and Collector of Water Rates C. B. Burton says that the question of metering St. Louis is one of policy to be determined by the Board of Public Improvements. “wherever a building is used wholly for mercantile or industrial purposes or partly as a dwelling and partly as a business establishment, or where the connections exceeds % of an inch in diameter, I have the authority to re- quire the installation of a meter. “J have done that in every instance and in addition have equipped many con- nections with meters at the request of owners and lessees who wanted to re- duce their expenses for water. Orly in the first few months after the installa- tion of meters have we had complaints. Once the use of water is adjusted to actual needs, there is little murmuring. “Owners of apartment houses, tene- ments and blocks of flats, stores and shops of all kinds find i cheaper to have meters because they are then required to pay only for what water they or their tenants consume.

Fails in Six Years’. Battle With Paralysis, in Spite of Wife’s Aid.

IN CITY SINCE INFANCY

garded as an Authority in Literature.

Frederick M. Crunden, for 32 years librarian of the public library, died Saturday morning at St. Luke’s Hos- pital after suffering six years from paralysis. He expired on the eleventh anniversary of the death of his only son, Frederick M. Crunden Jr. His wife, who has been his constant companion in the six years of his ser- ious illness, was the only one with him and the end marked a long struggle to nurse her husband back to health. Several times it appeared as if she had triumphed, but each time there was a relapse and with each relapse the chances lessened. The last rally the librarian to hope that a cure had been effected and the paralysis con- quered. This hope lasted for several weeks, but was dissipated ten days ago when another relapse, more serious than the others, made the end a fore- gone conclusion. The funeral will be held Sunday after- noon at 8 o’clock at the Church of the Unity, Park and Armstrong avenues. The services will be conducted by the Rev. George R. Dodson, pastor. The honorary pallbearers will be the di- rectors of the library and the active pallbearers will be from the library em- ployes. First Stroke Six Velite Ago. Crunden was first stricken six years ago, on the eve of his departure for Europe on a vacation. The tour abroad was abandoned and he returned to St. Louis with his wife and seemed to be re. covering when a second stroke, 10 days after the first, made it necessary to send him to St. Luke’s Hospital, where he re- mained for more than a year. When he appeared to be almost well, his wife started with him for the Adi- rondack Mountains. Upon this trip he suffered his third relapse. A few weeks ago it was announced that he had nearly recovered, but this was followed by another relapse, and he sank into a comatose state, from which he never raHied. He was appointed Hbrarian in 1877 and served for 30 years. During this time he became well known among the librarians of this and other countries and was re- garded as one of the most distinguished men in that vocation. Hope of his re- covery was not abandoned until two years ago, when Arthur E. Bostwick was appointed to succeed him. — Was Born in England. |.

He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Kate Edmonston Crunden, and one brother, Frank P. Crunden of 4426 Westminster place. REWARD FOR FUR THIEVES Stimulated by the offer of a reward of $750, the police have renewed their efforts to catch the burglars who raided the fur establishment of M. J. Stein- berg, 307 North * Broadway, last Satur- day night or Sunday morning. Mark Shepley, special agent for the Fidelity and Casualty Co. of New York, has posted the reward with Chief Youn®. His company insured the stock of Stein- berg against loss at the hands of burg- lars. The police believe they have a clew in the report of the theft of a de- livery wagon from in front of the Re- public office early Sunday morning. The wagon was later recovergd in North St. Louis. The police are convinced the burglars hauled their plunder from the store in a wagon. Furs and other wear- ing apparel valued at over $3000 were stolen.

RICHARDSON CASE 70 G0 10 JURORS TRIS AFTERNOON Wife of Former Head of Indus- trial School Weeps as Trial Progresses.

é Andrew Maroney addressed the jury Saturday afternoon in behalf of Allan P. Richardson, former superintendent of the Industrial School, charged with falsifying payrolls and misappropriation of city funds. Maroney denounced Bar! P. Howse, the attache of Comptroller Taus- sig’s office who prepared the evidence against Richardson, as “that jackal’ and “the human hyena.” He said he

a mistake, but he held it was an error caused by his desire to be kind and gen- erous to the boys in his charge find he was not actuated by a desire for per- sonal gain. by Assistant Circuit Attorney Ferriss, who was followed by Maroney. E. Paul Griffin closed the case for the State and ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson closed for the defense. Judge Taylor told the jury if they be- lieved that Richardson had made false entries on the payroll and converted the proceeds to his own use the verdict should be grand larceny, for which the penalty would be from two to five years’ | imprisonment. Richardson's wife and son sat beside Lim in the courtroom while testimony was being taken Saturday. Frequently Mrs. Richardson covered her face w her handkerchief and wept during the questioning of witnesses. Felix E. Gunn, Associate City Comp- troller, was the first witness after court opened. He testified concerning reports of appropriations and expenditures of city institutions as made to the Comp- troller’s office. He said that Richardson made a re- port for the last year, stating the amount required to conduct the institu- tion, and that the recoérds showed that a balance of $1600 was left after all bills were paid. This was to offset testi- mony for Richardson that the appropri- ation was not large enough to meet the expenses. Anthony Zohradnick, 17 years old, a’ member of the Industrial Schoo] Boys’ Band, and employed as a day patrol at the school, testified that on tne oc- casion of the band’s appearance -at Sportsman’s Park, mentioned before in the evidence, the boys took their lunch from the institution. He said the only 1¢freshments bought by Richardson ae a bottle of soda pop for each boy in the band.

SHANGHAI IS IN DANGER City Hears Revolutionists Are About to Take Keystone Fort to Its Defense.

By Associated Press. SHANGHAI, China, Oct 28.—Wireless dispatches from Hankow reporting a sweeping victory for the imperial troops there caused flutter in Shanghai today. The reports were re- ceived even in official circles with incre- dulity. Rebel sympathizers declared that the dispatches were undoubtedly sent from a Government source to bol- ster up a faltering cause. The wireless dispatches were caught by some of the German naval operators. They gave no details, but said there was fighting all day yesterday at Hankow and that the result was a sweeping Gov- ernment victory, compelling the revolu- tionists to abandon Hankow and fall back across the Han River into Han Yang. Whatever the situation around Han- kow, matters have grown more ,desper- ate for the Government cause in the vicinity of Shanghai and along the lower part of the Yang Tse River. There were persistent reports today that Ching Kiang, 150 miles above Shanghai, was about’ to fall into the hands of the rebels. vesterday a Last Line of Defense. Ching Kiang is the first of the series of lower river forts above Shanghai and is regarded here as the keystone of the defense of the city. If it falis it is con- ceded that all the forts below it as far as Wu Sung wil! quickly follow. Wu Sung, 109 miles above Shanghal, marks the city’s last line of defense. West of Shanghai the wealthy city of Su Chow is threatened, while above Ching Kiang, three important cities, Nanking, Yang Chow and Wu Hu, are believed to be in danger. All four of these cities reported today that while the situation is quiet there is sentiment for the rebel cause and probably little effective resistance will be offered to an attack. Specie Is Withdrawn, It is believed that Sheng Hsuan Huai, the dismissed Minister of Posts and Communications, is coming to Shang- hai, where he has a magnificent home. More than two hundred pieces of his baggage have arrived here from Peking, addressed in the care of a foreigner. The business situation is still pre- carious. The money market is in an alarming state on account of the vast amounts of specie withdrawn from the banks here by Peking and other centers. W. L.

From the last quarter of the panic year 1907, the Post-Dispatch has shown on every prope! occasion that as President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt acted lawlessly in giving reji- resentatives of the United States Steel Corpora- tion opportunity and virtual permit to monopo- lize the values and properties represented by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. In this position the Post-Dispatch is now sustained by the fol- lowing from the petition against the steel cor- poration, signed by Attorney-General Wicker- sham: The President was not made fally acquaint- ed with the state of affairs in New York rel- evant to the transaction as they existed. If he had been fully advised, he would - bave known that a desire to stop the panic was not the sole moving cause, but that there was also a desire and purpose to acquire the con- trol of a company that had recently assumed a position of potential competition of great significance. This is an official statement that, as President, Theodore Roosevelt was concerned in a lawless act, but was deceived into it because of his ignor- ance of conditions. Very recently Theodore Roosevelt -has asserted that he would do the same thing over again. If he is called to testify he will unquestionably tes- tify that he knew what he was doing in what the official record now spreads before the country az lawlessness through ignorance. In his statement to the standing committee, Aug. 5, this year, he said: “I was intimately acquainted with the situation in New York.” And again: But I wish it distinctly understood that I acted purely on my own initiative and that the responsibility for the act was solely mine. Under the allegations of Attorney-General Wickersham’s petition, the Steel Trust has a most important witness in Theodore Roosevelt. Once more, let him have his day in court to define the extent and limitations of his ignorance!

At the last meeting held by the Franklin Ave- nue Improvement Association it was unanimously decided that Slogan Week celebration, Sept. 11 to 16, was a greater success than even the must Sanguine expectations of the merchants along our busy thoroughfare. y The magnificent showing in that enterprise could not have been possible without the enthusi- astic support given it by the newspapers -’ St. Louis. The business men along the avenue did all that it was possible for them to do to make it a success, but their efforts could not have brought such wonderful results without the voluntary im- petus given to our movement by the press.

Adventure of an Onaftractive Girl

My First Caller. Described for the Post-Dispatch By Alma Woodward. SHALL always remember the fluttering of my heart the morning I opened a note from my first would-be caller! It seemed so formal, so just like the popular girls, to be written to, requesting permission to ¢all. My breakfast Jay unheeded—-I was trying to compose an effective reply; and, disregarding my mother’s anxiety about my loss of appetite, I dashed up to my room, took out my best note paper and started to pen the answer. I spoiled four sheets, I remember, because every time I read the lines out loud I could see a tiny change that would improve things. sealed it and ran out, bareheaded, to “Things aren’t so hopeless after all,” I thought. Why, there’s a lot of chance for me, Girls man has written asking to call. Finally I mail it. “I’m only 19 and a young don’t marry as young as they used to anyway.” I walked on air for the next 24 hours. I tried on each of my sem1- evening dresses in turn, so that I might decide which was most becoming. I fussed with fluffy hair ornaments; and I spent two hours manicuring my nails, because I wanted my hands, at least, to be attractive. Then, having read about the lure of dimmed lights, I filled all the fancy lamps we had in the living room, knowing that lamplight is much less re- vealing than gas. The next night I had difficulty in even pretending to eat my dinner. If it hadn’t been that my father’s eyes were fastened upon. me I would have run from the food that I simply couldn’t swallow.

In .the first place, he brought me a lovely bunch of violets all tied with pale green gauze. But, unfortunately, I had chosen to wear my one red gown and I knew that violet and bright red wouldn’t look well even in lamplight! Then I went to get some water for them ik. due to my nervousness, I spilled it all over my dress and he wiped it dry and the red all came off on his handkerchief! I tried to strike easy, graceful, sitting postures, but every muscle in my body seemed to have become rigid, unbendable. My fingers were like ice and my playing sounded “latest popular music. I took out some of the like an 8-year-old’s first flight from finger exercises! After what seemed to be hours and hours of nervous suspense the maid brought in some refreshments. Here at last was neutral ground—conversa- tion is not compulsory when one is eating. But those refreshments didn’t last any time! dnd, after about a half hour more of floundering in the depths of inane dialogue, my caller arose and said good-night. I sat on the floor of my room with my arms clasped about my knees until 1 in the morning, thinking the bottom of the trouble. whole thing over—and I got to the I had been so persistently impressed and haunted by my lack of good looks, for so many years, that, when confronted by a possible victim, I mtarted instantly to manufacture fascination.

{IS is ‘Drama Day’ at Mrs. é¢ Stryver’s Club of Ethical Ad- vancement, and she is so anx- tous to have a bigger showing of frock coats than the Baroness von Holstein’ — “That’s the big fat. woman?’ rupted Mr. Jarr. “You should say fcommanding pres- ence,’” replied Mrs. Jarr. ‘Well, you know the rivalry between the Baroness and Mrs. Stryver. The Baroness has had an assured position in American society for over 30 years because she was one of the first women in America to marry a foreign nobleman. After he had spent all her money and deserted her she found out he wasn’t a real nobleman, but the valet to one. And so she left him, and for some years did very well by appearing at social func- tions of wealthy people for a fee of $20. But of late years there have been so many American women married to bogus noblemen—not that we deprive them of their titles, even if they didn’t really belong to their husbands—but still the poor deluded things gave their mar- riage settlements in good faith to those dear, fascinating bogus nobleman, and, afterfall, what is a title? They are just as good if they are bogus till the fact is found out, aren't they?” ' “Come back to earth, ‘my rhetorical aviatress,” said Mr. Jarr, mopping his brow, ‘“‘and explain what you have been explaining.”’ 43 “Well,” said Mrs..Jarr, -slowly .and distinctly, “the Baroness von Holstein... who gets free board at the St. Croesus: Hotel for getting up social functions, there, and Mrs. §tryver’— “The Countess of Alderney,” mured Mr. Jarr. “Have great rivalry get the most frock coatS—men, you know—to their afternoon affairs.

(monn To TRY AGAN TO LAND BGRING TIL Oklahoman Starts Work Under Competent Instructors in Effort to Come Back.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—With the in- domitable pluck that he showed in his fight with Jim Flynn, Carl Morris has again taken up the training grind at the New Polo A. C., with the declared inten- tion of making good in New York, the scene of his recent disaster. New York- ers have little time to devote to a loser, and Morris has been cast aside as a hopeless failure by most of the fight fans. Yet to condemn him -absolutely may be as much a mistake as was the ridiculous idea that he would be a star at the game at his first attempt. When analyzed, the result of his fight with Flynn shows that he really did wonderfully well when all the facts are taken into consideration. The result of the contest, instead of being a cause for condemnation, should be the cause for high praise. The fact that Morris was able to last for 10 rounds with an ex- perienced man of Flynn’s caliber was a worthy feat for a novice. If Morris’ hit- ting muscles are developed as they are capable of being, Flynn would never last half the distance. Morris Poorly Handled. But Morris was poorly handled in spite of the money spent on his training. Instead of work calculated to develop hitting power, he got long runs on the road that took off surplus weight and speed and snap as well. He has never had the use of a well-equipped gym- nasium before, and, in face, ig just be- coming acquainted for the first time with the uses of the different parapher- nalia of an up-to-date training quarters. Morris is only 22 years old, and despite his great size, his muscles have not been developed. He is boyish and good-na- tured, as well as intelligent, and, like all game men, is free from bluster. Carl Makes Big Hit. Altogether he has a winning person- ality that causes everyone who comes in contact with him to feel friendly toward such a good-natured person. At the New Polo A. C., where he is now training under the management of Billy Newman, Morris will have the benefit of intelligent coaching. A mat¢h with some local man will be obtained for him in a few weeks. When the name of Al Palzer, Tom O’Rourke’s white hope, was suggested to Morris as a possible opponent, the big fellow’s face lit up in a happy grin. Mor- ris likes fighting and makes light of the injuries received in the Flynn combat. The truth is that while he presented a repelling sight, his injuries on that occa- sion were superficial. His brain was clear and he was strong on his feet, although bathed in blood. This natural- ly made him look worse than he really war. . Whether or not Morris has the latent ability to eventually become a cham- pion is more or less of a mystery. Yet one cannot help admiring a man pos- sessed of such sterling courage and de- termination, FOOTBALL RECORDS OF COLLEGE TEAMS Here is a summary of points scored by the cifterent college teams up to Saturday's

Krone will leave for New York im- mediately to confer with Tom Jones, manager of Wolgast, and will try and see Emil Thiry at the same time. Wol- gast has said he would not meet Mc- Farland in a long fight if Packey did not make 138 ringside, and it may be that the offer of Coffroth’s will go begging. Jim Flynn, “white hope’ conqueror, is back in Chicago after a short visit to his home in Colorado. Flynn expects to start on a theatrical tour under the care of Jack Curley. He asserts that his work before the footlights will not in- terfere with any prospective matches and that he is in the market at the pres. ent time for any man living. Bantle F avorite in First Electric Light Distance Run Tonight Forty runners, including Joe Bantle of the Missouri A. C., the Kaysing boys and Herman Erxieben, all of whom lave made good in distance runs, will compete in the first electric light ‘‘Mar- athon’”’ ever held in St. Louis, on South Broadway, Saturday night.

After this they will sprint for Geyer avenue, where the finish line will be stretched.

LARNED IN FINE FORM FOR DAVIS GUP TENNIS BOUT American Team Sails Nov. 1 for Auckland, N. Z., to Play for World’s Title.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—William Au- Sustus Larned, seven times lawn ten- nis singles champion of this country, left this city Thursday on his way two Australia as captain of the American challenging team for the Davis Cup. Larned was a passenger on the Cara- dian Pacific express, which left the Grand Central Station at 8:45 a. m. He appeared physically fit and well- tanned and was accompanied by George L. Wrenn Jr.. who saw the famous Ameérican. start and wishe him the best of luck. That there was no doubt as t» Larned’s physical fitness, it was stat- ed that he had been practicing almost up to the time of leaving this city, and, with Wrenn and Gustave F. Touchard, had been trying out strokes during a short stay at Hot Springs, Va, Team Satin Nov. 1, The American challenging team is row complete, consisting of Larned as captain, Beals C. Wright of Boston and Maurice E. McLoughlin. Wright left Boston last week for Vancouver, British Columbia, where he will be joined by McLoughlin and by Larned, the trio sailing on Wednesday, Nov. 1 on the steamship Zelandria. The Zelandria is due to reach Auck- land, New Zealand, in 19 days, From there the members of the team will go by rail to Wellington, the journey requiring 24 hours. From there they proceed to Christchurch by baat, where the challenge round witn Australia will be played. They ex- pect to arrive at Christchurch on Novy, 22. At Christchurch accommodations have been reserved at the United Service Hotel by Dr. Frederick Brathwaite, an American, who ha; been greatly interested in all the ir.- } ternational matches with the Austra- lians, Matches in December. It is understood that the matches fer the famous cup will be played the middle of December, so as to allow of the Americans salling for home on the Steamer leaving Dec. 23. Among Americans the belief prevails that the cup will be returned. S. Wallis Merrihew, as official spokesman for the national associa- tion at Larned’s departure Thursday, Stated that he believed the cup woul4 be returned, “barring accident,” to which Touchard, who ts well verse4 in the inner workings of lawn tennis, retorted that he expected the “‘acci- dent to occur.”

PROSS-COUNTRY AGAIN AT MERCY OF CORNELLIANS

Ithacans Show Splendid Form and Expect Individual and Team Honors.

ITHACA, WN. Y., Oct. 28.—Cornell cross-country practice, in preparation for the intercollegiate championship, is now in full swing. The chances are bright that Cornell will capture both individual and team honors like - last year, as six out of the victorious eight are back on the team, and are being hard pushed for their places by other promising competitors, chiefly sopho- mores. The invincible John Paul Jones, last year’s cross-country champion, has re- turned and is running better than ever. Capt. Berna, Jones” closest rival for hill and dale honors, also says that he is in top form at present. The of the team have shown great improve- ment even over last year, and give every indication of being a record-break- ing combination. } Putnam, ea powerful finisher last sea- son and second in the intercollegiate half-mile, is laid off temporarily by a bruised knee, but will soon be in trim. Kraker of last year s team has not been doing well in practice, while Stevenson and Mapor, two reliable veterans, have been kept from régular training by other intereste. who loomed up as a very desirable re- cruit for the squad, is on probation be- cause of studies and is barred from competing. Coach Meakley, however, is still in charge of Cornell ranners, as he has just signed a contract to remain for five more years, thus insuring the red and white undoubted victories on track. and fleld in the future. With plenty of exceptional material to choose from, he has easily filled the gaps in the team.. Under his skillful supervision the men have lately extended their jaunts to the full championship distance of more than six miles. The practice spins have usu- ally developed into a § heart-breaking struggle between Jones and Bema, which left the others far behind. The men from last year at the train- ing-table, recently started, are: Capt. Bema, Crandall, Jones, Fineh, Long- field and Putnam. Fredericksen and Kingsley are two speedy sophomores who complete the number. C. B. C. Five Beats Opem Air A. C.

WALL STREET MARKET SHOWS BETTER TONE! Steel Issues Make an Advance After an Irregular Opening. BANK RETURN IS GOOD Reserves Increase and Loans Show a Fair Reduction for the Week. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “When the price of Steel common and the rest of the market recovered yesterday afternoon, the rather gen- eral comment was that the country was yet to be heard from—meaning that the action of the great body of scattered Steel investors might very abruptly check any steadying ten- wae? of the market. “The opening today was, therefore, watched with almost as great inter- est as yesterday's. It was not in the least sensational. “No ‘over-night decline’ had occurred at London. The first prices here were only a trifling fraction away from yes- terday’s closing, and even Steel began the day only % point below yesterday's final price. “From its opening quotation, and on very light trading, Steel advanced a point, actively increasing somewhat at the higher prices. Other stocks moved similarly; e closing was strong and net advanc } for the day were general. market Is Better. “This reassuring attitude of the mar- nd of the Steel shares particularly, Save been partly caused by Judge ‘restatement of the strong points Tag booted case, or by esi- | declaration that ‘mere big- mPequy or corporation does ‘iolation of the law,’ and rather cut off his right ything to disturb the untry, especially with tivating political suc- today's strength may, afternoon’s recovery, _ je fact that Thursday's argety discounted by the September! ‘eak in prices. ‘“‘Whatever tl immediate explanation the fact was the day’s finangial move- ment went a long distance towards re- storing better feeling.

There was nothing in the news to in- 1 fluence sentiment, although rumors of a Federal investigation of the cash wheat situation in Chicago again were circu- lated. While investigations of corporations in restraint of trade are in order, it is hardly possible that the Chicago board can go unnoticed, for a more perfect combination than this organization can hardly be found, which permits certain influential members to tie up, as at pres- ent, enormous supplies of cash wheat, and dictate prices to the trade,. which |e ordinary circumstances and con- led by the inexorable law of supply and demand would be able to secure its supplies cheaper, is forced by manipu- lation to pay an excessive premium for its purchases. There is probably a day of reckoning coming on all the exchanges which will check the unwarranted speculation in securities and commodities, especially the latter, which are so closely associ- ated with the present economic problem of “high cost of living.” Broomhall’s Liverpool cable said: “Notwithstanding the pronounced weak- ness in America and Buenos Aires yes- terday the market here was steady at 4d decline, due to covering by shorts on the strength of October in Winnipeg and the tightening up of Plate offers, de- ite the weaker future market there. Ne arby offers in Argentina were firmly held with arrivals from the interior light, and there is a good demand for new crop offers. “Following the opening the undertone was firm, with prominent outside buy- ing and values advanced %d to 4. “There we no cargoes off coast or awaiting orders, and a report from our agent from Australia states that drouth continues, and more rain is wanted, and that wheat is firmly held there. “There was a general scarcity of sell- ers, and with firmer Argentina offers, week-end covering developed. At the close the market was steady and un- changed to 4d lower than yesterday. “Corn opened weak and 4d lower, and further declined %d to 4d, with the un- dertone heavy. The lower American ca- bles and the pressure to sell new Ameri- can offers caused further realizing.” Liverpool wheat futures closed un- changed to 4d lower; corn %d lower. Berlin wheat, %c lower, Budapest %c lower, Paris wheat unchanged to \c up. Trading in corn was irregular and prices rallied sharply after an early break. There was nothing in the news to change sentiment and buying came mostly from tthe shorts. Oats were steady to higher, Minneapolis cars of wheat today were 420, last week 446, last year 24. Duluth, 192 cars; last week, 221; last year, 110. Winnipeg had 762; last week, 652; last year 473. Minneapolis wheat stocks in- creased 140,000 bu for one day.

business to look out for its own interests and not for those of the public.

(Lane.) REMARKABLE PUBLIC MENTS. Af tmome BYRD of Westover, and DOCU- Thomas Jefferson of Monticello were unlike in nearly everything except in being both bookworms when bookworms and bibliomaniacs were rare in Virginia and in North America. If both, or if either, had been less se- verely afflicted with the mania for old books and old manuscripts, the most im- portant single document in the history of North America might now be lost as hopelessly as the “lost books of Livy’ or the Sybilline books or any- thing else of the kind, which once lost, is supposed to leave a gap in the his- tory of the world. In some way or somehow, Byrd while in London, digging into the miscellane- ous trash of old book stores, collecting what became the famous “Byrd li- brary,” is supposed to have pounced upon certain wreckage from the library of the Earl of Southampton. No ene knows exactly how or when it occurred, but being in London about a century before the Revolution, with tobacco mon- ey to invest in old books, Byrd brought back to Virgihia an authenticated copy of the records of the Virginia Com- pany of London from 1619 to the disso- lution of the company in 1624. The romance of this discovery is a story, “to be continued,” which may fill vol- umes hereafter as the search for what is still lost progresses. As Col. Byrd secured this much, it passed to Jeffer- son through whom it passed finally to the United States Government and the Library of Congress. Under the title of ‘“‘The Refords of the Virginia Com- pany of London, The Court Book,” this priceless document is now published by the Library of Congress, through the Government printing office. As in the opinion of the Librarian of Congress, it is perhaps the most remarkable public document in his ‘‘archives.”” It has been printed with a view to showing its importance. The two volumes, of over 600 pages each, are illustrated with fac- similes from the sem!i-Saxon mangscript of the original. The manuscript itself has been transcribed literally by Miss Susan Myra Kingsbury, Ph. D., of Sim- mons College, after which the proof has been read, word for word, by the chief of the division of manuscripts. This alone was monumental labor, for the English is that of the Shakspearean pe- riod, in dealing with which ability to spell accurately in modern English is always a temptation to misspell. Con- sidered only for its value in connec- tion with the history of the English language, the book is priceless. In edit- ing it, Miss Kingsbury, carrying her re- searches into the great libraries of En- giand and America, has done all that can be done at present’ to make its history complete: Her introduction and bibliography are worthy of the work it- self. There is also a preface of three pages by Prof. Osgood of Columbia Uni- versity. Except in its index, the work is ready in every way for students of American history who must begin with the Virginia Company’s records in beginning the study of English coloniza- tion In America. The index is ade- quate for all ordinary purposes, but in cso a work, it will not be complete ; ven a rape for

cross-indexed so that nothing of the) contents can be missed in research. Yor purposes of research the work cannot have its value adequately sug- gested. To the reader who expects life interest, the face of the records offers little more than future centuries may find in the routine of the minute books of corporations now making history through the meetings of their directors. Eiverything of importance in it is already current, subject to correction by refer- ence to its text. Thus everyone knows CHARMING AMERICAN’ AUTHOR OF STORIES es) wo i Jn Te en

treatment. A detail of modern interest is that with this great joint stock com- pany of “merchant adventurers” vested with authority over 400 miles of the Atiantic Coast and a “hinterland’’ ex- tending “throughout from ’sea to sea,”’ James I in 1624 voided their charter and ended their corporate life under com- mon law precedents which are still quoted in American decisions. While the records thus made available for American’ students cover only part of the most important period of the foun- nothing else could take the place of these. The states of the Atlantic seaboard have done great work in this generation, pub- listing their colonial records. This from the Library of Congress is the climax of such work to date. (The Government Printing Office.) (3 says which perhaps no news- paper except the Springfield (Mass.) Republican would make a habit of publishing. They help to explain why that newspaper has readers in many states who love good writing. Mr. Mer- riam has written many books since he was “office editor’’ of the Christian Union. The latest of them is his ‘“‘Man of Today.”” It is made up of 25 discus- sions of human nature at its best in the “Man of Today,’’ as he is or ought to be. They give sidelights on everything, including family life, the matrimony which ends in heaver instead of the divorce courts; prayer, politics, litera- ture—in fact, everything it is easy to think of and then a great deal beside. Mr. Merriam preaches a little at times, but always in a quiet and pleasing way. His purpose is to bring ideals, which seem sublime because so little use is made of them, down to the level on which people who are living everyday lives. can use them without changing their everyday clothes or stopping to take a bath. He succeeds in this as well as anyone could expect. His spe- clalty is writing like a gentleman about the very great variety of things he has learned something about in the United States since 1860. His religion has grown somewhat unorthodox according to antique New England standards since he studied first theology, but he is a gentleman to his finger tips. No one who wishes to know how ideas flow from the finger tips of a New England gentleman can afford to miss his latest book, (Houghton-Mifflin.) LINCOLN AND THE POETS. 44 HE PRAISH OF LINCOLN,” x edited by A. Dallas Williams, is a collection of poems on Abraham Lincoln, written during two generations. Over a hundred different writers are represented. Beginning with Whitman, Lowell and Whittier, they ex- tend to Robertus Love. S. E. Kiser and James Whitcomb Riley among later poets. The historical value of the col- lection is so great that the volume may be read with interest from beginning to end. ~The character and quality of the poems are highly diversified, but with- alrnost no exception they are good in form. No two readers may agree on what political quality means. When it is a question of strong feelings, strongly expressed, or of appreciation of Lincoln’s true char- acter, the tribute of Walt Whitman and that by Tom Taylor, which appeared in London Punch after Lincoln’s death, are far more impressive than the average. Taking the volume as a whole, it is easy to see that. what prevents sustained sublimity is tite determined strain of the effort to reach it. Nearly all the poems are in an artistic sense overwrought, but there are frequent passages of the highest and simplest value, as when Lowell writes: He knew to bide his time, And can his fame abide, Still patient in his faith sublime Till the wise years decide. The inspiration of nearly all the poems is the same. It is the inclusive sym- pathy of the mind which takes in all men in contrast with the exclusiveness of those who assert their own superi- ority as a title to precedence and con- trol. As Lincoln is made a type of this sympathy, Lowell called him “the first American.”” (Bobbs-Merrill.) “THE MAN OF TODAY.” EORGE 8S. MERRIAM writes es- “THE BROWNINGS,.” N “The Brownings: Their Life and Art,” Lilian Whiting presents to the public the biography of both Robert. Browning and Elizabeth Barrett. It gives the story of each up to the time of their meeting, then their corre- spondence, courtship and marriage, which is one of the most beautiful ro- mances the world has ever known. The Brownings, wandering through Italy aft- er their marriage, form some wonderful friendships and we are introduced to all sorts of delightful people. They have a brilliant life in London and Paris, which period closes with the death of w.iza- beth Barrett Browning in Florence, where she was laid to rest.

padre and the days that followed were days of delight. Then each makes a confession, the parting comes and the guest rides away, but temptation stays behind. For a time there is only black- ness and dispair for the padre and he is on the eve of leaving the people he has given his life to, when a message from Gaston, who has ridden over the moun- tain but to his death, brings back to the padre serenity of the soul he so passionately prayed for. (Harpers.) A 01 Hiawatha,” by Longfellow, is off+ .ed to book lovers this fall. It is intruduced to us by Dr. Frank W. Gun.aulus, who refers to a visit he once mzde to Mr. Longfellow_when this poem was discussed at lengt. He says Mr. Longfellow himself greatly preferred “Hiawatha” to ‘“‘Evangeline,’’ which Ilolmes lays to the fact that “Hiawatha” is so completely American in its story. This poem has been produced for a number of years at Wa-ya-ga-mug, near Petoskey, Mich., on a wooded point which juts out into the lake. The illus- trations are by Grace Chandler Horn and the photographs of Wa-ya-ga- mug show there is no need of artificial scenery for the production of the play— the forest itself forms a perfect stage. Almost every movement in the drama has an illustration and the photographs are beautiful. (Rand-McNally.) “HIAWATHA” FOR INDIANS, LAYERS’ edition of “The Song “ALVIRA.” HE rescue of Augustus Charles Vic- T tor St. Cyr from torture by In- dians is one of the stirring inci- dents of this book, which is a story of the War of 1812. ‘The charming Alvira Renfrow is his rescuer. The rescue is followed by situations in which St. Cyr is prevented by fate from making such return as a hero of romance ought to make to the girl who has played the role of Pocahontag in his behalf. This evil fate does not always continue, but it lasts long enough to lead the reader through varied scenes of treason and stratagem. The figure of Andrew Jatk- son appears at intervals, dominating each scene he enters. Edward Ruben is author, and the six illustrations are by F. Humphrey Woolrych. (Central Lit- erary Pub. Co.) “SCOTTISH LIFE.” N the preface to “Scottish Life and | Character,’”’ the author, William Harvey, himself a Scotchman, ex- plains that the aim of his book is to illustrate the native character of his people, and the anecdotes and stories contained in the volume are selected with the view of bringing his readers into touch with the everyday life of a people proverbial for their shrewdness, wit and humor. The book contains colored illustrations from paintings by Erskine Nicol, sketches by J. G. Spence Smith and H. W. Kerr and F. M. B. Blaikie. (Lippin- cott.) QR

TES | TN TAKE VOTE ON A CHURCH MERGER Proposition to Combine Central and Trinity Presbyterian to Come Up Tomorrow. ES A plan by which it is proposed to cen- solidate the Central and Trinity Pres- byterian churenes will be voted on Sun- day morning by the congregations of the two churches. It is planned to re- tain the two pastors and make the congregation a larger and merged more aggressive stronger body for church work. The congregational meetings at which the vote will be taken will be held at the Sunday morning services in each chuxth. The name of the consolidated congregation and the plan of work has been selected and will be outlined in the report submitted to the members of the churches before the vote is taken. It is generally understood that most of the members of the two congregations favor the merger. The proposed merger will consolidate the two largest and strongest Southern Presbyterian churches in St. Louis. The Central Church, of which the Rev. J. Layton Mauze is pastor, is one of the oldest churches of that denomination in Ste Louis. The church is a handsome and costly structure, erected a few years ago at Delmar boulevard and Clara avenues, when the congregation moved from the old church at Garrison and Lucas avenues.; b The Rev. C. R. Nisbet is pastor of Trinity Church, which was formed a year ago by the consolidation of Brank Memorial and Cook Avenue Presbyterian churches. A chapel has been erected at Vernon and Academy avenues. Pastors Mauze and Nisbet told a Post- Dispatch reporter Saturday that they believe a consolidation will enlarge the field and strengthen the active work of the. combined membership. They de- clined to give the details of the proposed plan until after the vote is taken. The Lutheran churches of St. Louis will hold a celebration at the Odeon Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in honor of the Reformation. The Rev. Dr. F. Pfoten- hauer, president of the Lutheran Synod, will speak in German and the Rev. Dr. G. Schuessler of Chicago will deliver an address in English. An overflow meeting has been ar- ranged for in the recital hall. The Rev. Cc. ll". Drewes, pastor of Bethany Luth- eran Church, will be in charge of that meeting, while Prof. E. Seuel will pre- side at the large meeting. The speakers will repeat their addresses at the over- flow meeting. The student chorus of Concordia Sem- inary, comprising 230 voices, the Orpheus Octette and the student orchestra will furnish the music. One of the chorals will be Martin Luther’s famous hymn, ‘“‘A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” The St. Louis Christian Endeavor Union at a business meeting Monday adopted resolutions protesting against any tendency to remove the Sunday ‘lid.’ Copies of tne resolutiong were sent to Mayor Kreismann and Gov. Had- ley. The Rev. Clyde Smith. pastor of the Central Mission, will deliver an address on “Africa” at the North Presbyterian Cuurch, St. Louls and Warne avenues, Sunday night. Stereopticon slides wil) illustrate the talk. The Rev. Mr. Smith will preach at the church in the after- noon. All the sodalities of St. Lawrence O’Toole’s Parish will unite for the serv- ices of three days’ retreat beginning Sunday evening and continuing until Wednesday. The Rev. Father William -T. Robison of St. Louis University will deliver the discourses each evening. The retreat will be concluded with a gen- eral communion of all the sodalities Wednesday morning. LeRoy M. St. John, the singer who is assisting in the evangelistic meetings at the Compton dxeights Christian Church, will give a lecture to the boys and girls at 3 p. m. Sunday on “Strings.”

The lecture will be illustrated with | chemical demonstrations. The Rev. R. W. Allerby will continue the special | services over Sunday, preaching in the morning on “A Model Church” and in the evening on “The Latest News from Heaven.” There have been © additions to the church from the special services, which will close on Wednesday night with an illustrated lecture on “A Trip Through the British Isles."’ There will be a meeting at the Central Branch Y. M. C. A., Grand and Frank- lin avenues, Monday evening to con- sider the needs of the downtown boy and the advisability of providing head- quarters for him downtown, J. Eads How is chairman of the committee that is calling the meeting, and the other members are Charles A. Forse and Mrs. J. S. Kiefner. The Convent Chapel of the Helpers of Holy Souls, 4012 Washington boulevard, will be open all day Thursdz; on the occasion of the Feast of All Souls. The privilege of the toties quoties indul- gence attaches to each visit made to the chapel on that day, under the usual conditions of confession, communion and prayers for the Holy Father. The sessions of the General Execu- tive Committee of the Woman’s For- eign Missionary Society of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, which began at the Maple Avenue Methodist Church, Maple and Belt avenues, Thursday, will continue through next Thursday. Spe- cial services have been arranged for the morning, afternoon and evening Sunday in connection with the meet- ing. ad At a recent general meeting of the United Hebrew Congregation steps were taken to place the congregation on the reformed basis, which will mark its future religious policy.
